Craig must have had a big day cause I just watched him do another interview (just before this video) and he's in the same room, same shirt. Lol love him. this is great
I like what he said about critics.. suggesting they have a viewpoint that is too far removed from the actual audience perspective. I remember listening to a studio script reader complaining about all the things they're so tired of seeing, that make them put the script down. Some gatekeepers don't seem to understand that the movies are not being made to impress them. They're made for an audience that does embrace tropes and cliches as the language of film.
He is such a down-to-earth guy, I can see why he and Pedro get along well. It’s interesting how they both are uncomfortable with praise. And maybe both are super self-aware; mazin says he left comedy bc he felt he was aging out of the culture of it. I’d argue there is still an audience for older comedy. I enjoyed 80 for Brady and Kominsky Method, and I’m sure lots of older ppl do. Or maybe its just a jewish thing 😆. I relate to larry david.
This channel moving exclusively to zoom interviews has killed the quality of the interviews. Something different about being in the same room as the guest. Hasn't had a quality interview in 3 years.
