Hey, and welcome Back to the A24 podcast.
We're so excited to share this conversation between the Safdie brothers and Paul Thomas Anderson, three of the greatest filmmakers of their respective generations.
Listening to them talk about their craft and share stories is possibly the best and cheapest film education around.
We hope you enjoy it.
Take your family to see Uncut Gems over the holiday, and we'll see you next year.
And now, Josh, Benny, and PTA.
You.
You're listening to the A24 podcast.
Yes, you're listening.
Randy, you got the nice mic.
Yeah, I don't know if this is the nice one.
Okay.
We did this job once where it was like a PSA for turtles.
Yeah.
And we were shooting with some people and they were wearing wire mics, radio mics.
I was mixing and I was running, boom.
And all that.
But I heard the wire mics, and there was a whole side conversation between the two of them about the turtle and the intricate kind of bend and sway of the turtle's neck.
And it got very sexual.
Yes.
