Epic sandworm rides across the desert of Arrakis, a thrilling gladiator battle involving a rhino and a display of the unmitigated feeling of pure Anxiety —those are just a few scenes and characters that have entertained audiences this past year, none of which would be possible without the artisans who make the magic happen behind the scenes.

00:00Is there a line that you've written that you're like, I'm so proud that this line is in the film, that it got in there, or even like a word?
00:08Oh, God. Well, I mean, I like ones that sort of catch a little bit later. I mean, educated wish, I'll always love. I made an educated wish.
00:18I'll also love, I don't know, weird ones. I like weird ones where people are like, I don't get it. You know, I have a black belt in Karen. I kind of enjoy that.
00:27That's what Scoutmaster Kevin would say.
00:29Yes, Scoutmaster Kevin would say. I don't know. I have lots of them. The thing I'm probably most proud of is the Wolverine speech in the van, where he just tears Deadpool, a new one.
00:40And to me, it's like one of the most beautiful scenes in the movie, because you see just what a raw, visceral powerhouse of an actor that Hugh Jackman is.
00:48But you also see the roles reverse. You see a character who is never verbose, who is a Clint Eastwood archetype, suddenly going, oh, yeah, man, well, I can talk, too, and just tearing me apart.
01:01And that was one of the things that was just shooting the scene was wonderful, because it's like Hugh is just one of those actors who's so technical and so good and so perfect.
01:10Thank God I'm wearing a mask because my face is just going underneath it watching him.
01:15There's even a stage direction that says there's a after he says all these horrible things to me.
01:19This says there's a there's a flicker of regret which crosses his pupil, but it's gone before we see it.
01:25And he does this like moment of even that little technical thing.
01:31He delivers that. And I just I don't know.
01:33I don't know. I am. I love performers. I love people who are hypercompetent at their jobs and who love their jobs.
01:41And I you can't. Someone once said you can't make anything great without enthusiasm.
01:45And, amen, that's very true.
