I usually see five or six films in theaters a year that are Hollywood films before the nominations. And then once nominations hit, I see everything that's nominated including international films. Which tend to be some of the best films of the year without question and ought to be incorporated more often into the best picture category. >> Have you seen uh >> Some of the best films I've seen in the past five years have been films from other countries. >> Materialist? >> No. >> Uh Begonia? >> Not yet. I'm really looking forward to seeing Begonia. The only thing The only reason I haven't seen Begonia yet is because Androniki doesn't know that she's going to like it, so she's hesitant.

He shouldn't be, but he might be a little bit butt hurt. >> [laughter] [laughter] >> That's not the point. That's right in character. Oh, yeah. No, that's not going to motivate him. >> Don't use my son. >> Correct. >> I hope you put that out there. I hope you put >> Yep. Yeah. That's a really That's well written cuz that's a proper dilemma. >> I think he'd make a fantastic one. >> 100% he would. >> Person with actual good morals in politics? >> Yeah. >> What? >> No, he's the right choice for 100% >> Yeah, but you're the right guy. But there are some guys that don't want it. And those who are typically the right ones for it. >> [laughter] >> Good friend. >> Yep. >> Really good friend. All the all of that was really good advice. >> I don't want to have to use >> Use it. Yeah. Think about the positives. Like >> And we're not just going to have to hear about his son all the time. >> I know. I know. And there's going to be >> And when that's going to have to hear about her son all the time. >> I know.

WHAT A beautiful actor. My goodness. He's going to I feel like he's going to kill him or something. I do, too. Feel like a knife's going to come out. >> That was a joke. >> [snorts] >> He smells the perfume. >> [laughter] [laughter] >> He's going to hate that. He's going to lose his He's going to lose his mind. >> [music] >> Spot that. I'm taking. Oh, don't grow. >> [laughter] >> I mean come in and do an entire 15 minutes scene by himself. That was a great scene. Yeah. The predominant dialogue was him. He's just a flawless beautiful actor. Funny. I thought we were doing this because we just wanted to make sure people had food. >> [laughter] >> I'm so true. So true. Okay, my wife name is Maria. Exactly. These guys are They're like patients of his right here. And your buddy doesn't have power anymore. But the revelation is who got him shot. And it's clear that he did it so that he could get the MLA out and blame it on the MLA. Yeah, cuz he just said it. I get to play the huh Mhm. The politics war. Mhm. Mhm. Such is politics. Mhm. I got bad guy right here. Yeah, he has HIS CLASSIC CASE. >> IS GAME OF THRONES KIND OF A >> HE'S not He's not lion man. >> What was that grandma's name in Game of Thrones? >> Yeah. >> There's a similar to her >> Yep. >> dialogue. You either play the game Was that Cersei? >> When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground. >> One of the best episodes. >> Good. Good episode. >> Really really great episode. >> Obviously we talked about um >> the Malay guy >> and his performance, but Bronji gave a great little monologue. >> monologue was great. >> Um cuz you're like >> Well, he's always been the most politician of them all. >> Of course. >> And he like even though he's small time, he's always been of that the small group, he's always been the most that's like he knows this is politics and >> He's got the politics mindset. >> And he feeds into the political >> Correct. And and often makes mistakes that you can see he regrets cuz he made a political choice. >> all like this guy shot you. >> Right. >> And you still want >> Especially Petyr Baelish. >> Yeah, and you still want to accept his >> Yeah. >> help at all? You're like you want >> Yeah. >> And he's like This is Game of Thrones. >> Exactly. [laughter] Yeah, it's great monologue by him great performance and uh right >> Petyr Baelish is very much me. My my sensibilities of there's right and there's wrong and I don't understand why you wouldn't do anything any different than that. And Petyr Baelish is 100% uh realist in terms of and the great writing. For him to recognize it and say it's so in line with the character. I wonder if the writers each specifically had control over a character or characters to make sure that they stay integris to who they are as people because that that is so integris to everybody in there. >> Oh, yeah. >> And for him to say I didn't die. >> Yeah. >> And so what if he did it? If that meant the end result is you get this seat and we get the MLA out and I and my wife win re-election, it was worth getting shot. >> Yeah. >> And how could you disagree with that? >> And he It's great writing because obviously we've, you know, grown really too attached to all these characters. Pranhji, I love Pranhji. I think he's such so fantastic and I love his character. >> Yeah. Um but you're also like he's also craved power more than any other like I feel like he's the one that if he lost power would be the most lost. >> Correct. I agree. >> Out of >> Out of everybody. >> I feel like everybody else they'd find other things to do. >> No, it's very much like the a core to who he is. >> Yeah, he's like even though like, you know, I think he's a good guy >> Right. >> mistakes but that's that's good writing and good character because people are great like that. >> Yeah. >> They they have these good traits and they also have these traits that probably aren't so good. >> Sure. >> Doesn't make them bad people. >> Correct. >> But um I mean you understood his perspective even if you don't agree with it. You're like he's not wrong. >> It's unfortunate cuz you know, politics is basically all unfortunate really. Uh that's how we have to do it. >> That's also what's great about the MLA's character because the MLA and it's it's The other thing about that actor that's so good is >> He's so good. >> He he has never once shown that he judges this character. Everything that this character does, when you don't like him, you're 100% in agreement that he's mean and he's awful and he's arrogant and he's terrible and he's abusive. He never played that. There's always a justification for what he's doing and the believability and I love where the writing took this where you come to a place where the bad guy you suddenly go maybe all of that wasn't him. Maybe I made a mistake in judging. Maybe one of the reasons he's the way he is is because he's been pushed and lied to so much by people above him. >> We've um the writers obviously wanted everybody to think obviously they've been toting since he got shot. >> Who shot him? >> Did he do it himself or was it the MLA? >> Those are basically the two >> Those are the two. >> Or there's some random thing which obviously it was. >> No, and >> [laughter] >> But like you as the audience, you already didn't like this character. It's like, yeah, I could believe he got him shot. But then he also did a bunch of stuff that's like he when he at the hospital he genuinely did things that he might have done for show. He's like, did he shoot him for real? >> Right. No, there was always a question. I don't know that he went that far. >> I think he probably did. >> And it's so good that Justin his anger he just says, you did this and you did this and you had Pradanji shot and da da da and everybody's like, wait, wait, wait, what? Hold up. Go back a second. Rewind. What did you just say? It's like, yeah, you guys don't know that? >> Yeah. >> No, it was you. >> Oh, okay. >> Right, I'm always the bad guy. >> Yeah, it was me. >> I'm always the bad guy. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's another thing that's great about The Beast in Me is that it doesn't just show you American politics and business and the perversion of those things and the cult of personality. But it also is a really great human study for the the Claire Danes character especially of of being smart enough and self-evaluating enough to see what you once thought was a perspective you'd come back and look at it and you go, you know what? A lot of that was because of me. It's it's very well written. >> Very well written. This was one of the best episodes of the show. >> Yeah, it was really good and um >> It's only two left. Only two left of >> Yeah. >> of the season. >> They're filming, I assume. >> I don't know. I assume so. >> Yeah, I hope so. >> And have they given it like >> You know, Stranger Things is obviously coming out here soon and then that's the final season, but you know, they took a billion years in between each season. I saw the trailer and I'm like they're all 50 now. >> [laughter] >> And I heard they're going through the same thing that the Game of Thrones cast went through. I I don't remember who it was in the cast that said I honestly don't know what life will be now cuz this has been my life. I don't have anything without this in my especially the kids. >> Yeah. >> Well, they're not kids anymore. >> I know. >> I think they're all like >> But imagine it's hard enough to be in a show and it end as an adult. That's one of the biggest things that you could a child actor when you're a part of a show, you don't you're just enjoying the show and you're not thinking about the adult aspects of it. And then one day it's just gone. >> Mhm. >> And it feels like it's been taken from you. And there's a part of you that is doesn't understand that. It's like why did this family just cuz now it's gone and the people that you've had relationship with intimately for years are just suddenly gone and you won't talk to them again. >> Nope. >> They're gone. >> Nope. >> It's a It's very, very rough on kids. >> But yeah, I assume maybe next summer the new season will come out. >> Yeah. Well, I'm very happy that what I had sensed earlier was just a little speed speed bump. >> Just a little speed bump cuz this is absolutely everything I love about Panchayat was this episode. >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> Um >> And it just flew. It's like I was like, oh, it's over. Damn. >> Really some really really great cuz I think that was like 15 minute scene of the MLA's character guy and and it was I'd say 95% of just his dialogue. >> He's so so good. >> I I think the other guy said a few words, but the predominance of the scene was all him. >> He's so good and believable that I feel like if the director said cut, he'd go, "I'm not done yet." And this and that and that. I mean, he I just he is just so believable in the moment. He's not remembering lines, he's having thoughts. Uh he's not performative. I feel like every take is going to be a little bit different cuz he's organic. >> So damn fun to watch work, man. I don't remember the actor's name. I would say it constantly if I was remembering his name. I just remember his the MLA. I love I it makes me so happy to see actors that are so good that I just sit and watch them and wish I could work with them and >> Right here. >> love every moment. Uh Pankaj Pankaj is young. So, it's good to remember it's easy to remember his his name is Pankaj. Um >> That's true. >> Wonderful actor. >> Um >> Just wonderful. He listens. Everything you want to be as an actor, you just pay attention to what he's doing. He listens, he has moments, he understands the power of stillness. He's not performative, he doesn't indicate. I just wonderful. >> I'm I'm just looking up on my Instagram. Pankaj >> And and and the other thing he does is some of an attribute of many of my favorite actors is he's dangerous. And that's because of the character he's portraying, but there's a level of danger. Uh Prahlad has that inherently in him. There's this sense that at any moment he might do something dangerous. >> Yeah. >> And he's still and he's quiet and he's gentle and you don't but there's a quality about the person that imbues that character with a sense of danger. >> Yeah, I love those actors. >> like Pankaj in terms of the menacing dangerousness >> Yes. >> that he's always has. Pankaj also has a different element that and maybe we just haven't seen it and and he could have it in terms of a different character of like innocence, purity. >> Correct. >> Pankaj Tripathi has both of those. >> He does and that makes him such unique. >> I guarantee he hasn't had enough in the character to demonstrate that but that moment I believed a 100% that his character was was hurt. And started to and said I've thought about you like a brother and he was genuinely getting past the reason he was angry was because of the underlying hurt and it was coming out and it wasn't forced, it was natural, I believed every moment of it happening. >> He was in Mimo? The grocer? >> a a small role if he's the if it's the grocer or if he doesn't have a name I I I would love to see something where he is a lead or a constant character in something especially another TV series because in this he's gone for seven eight episodes and then he comes back. I would love to see something where every episode I get to just watch him be a part of what's going on. Um yeah, I would love to talk to him. >> Yeah. >> I'd love to work with him. Would have enjoyed it. Do a scene with him. Great episode. >> Yep. >> [screaming] [music]
