Hey, and welcome Back to the A24 podcast.
If you've been listening for a while, you know the format.
We almost never pair two people from the same project together, and we encourage guests to talk about pretty much anything other than their movie or show.
This conversation is a little bit different.
Knowing how close Ari Aster and Joaquin Phoenix got during the grueling production of Beau is Afraid, we saw a rare opportunity to let a director and actor speak candidly about their creative dynamic and the very unique set of obstacles they created and then overcame while on set.
We hope you enjoy the episode and don't miss Beau is Afraid opening this weekend in theaters nationwide.
Hi, I'm Ari Aster and I am contractually obliged to do this podcast for 824since they've funded all my movies, but they never give me enough time.
And I'm Joaquin Phoenix and I will not be speaking at all.
And I'm going to be putting everything on Ari through this entire conversation.
And there's no point in me agreeing to do this because everybody knows that.
See, even our angels are.
I'm an asshole.
That's the most truthful thing you said.
Walking.
Hey, man.
Hey.
How are you?
You're hungover.
Yeah, I'm hungover.
But you're not.
