Emily the Criminal

That's me, Kyle Meredith, today catching up with Theo Rossi, who you, of course, know from such shows as Sons of Anarchy.

Last time we caught up, we were talking about the movie Emily the Criminal.

He's back with a film called Come With Me, a film about a working-class man named Simon, Simon Ward, who falls under the spell of a rhetoric-spewing radio host played by Ron Perlman.

And we watch as this character, as his life just slowly unravels around him, enduring, as Theo will say, kind of a death by a thousand cuts.

Man, it is seriously so good to talk to you, too.

Because I was thinking, like, the last time that we talked, of course, Emily.

Emily the criminal.

Crazy.

The projects that have had the most success in my career have been us against the world projects, where it's like nobody thinks we're gonna win anyway, so let's just do what we need to do.

And that's where you get, like, the Emily the Criminal-type things.

I even think in some ways, like, as crazy as it sounds, like The Penguin 'cause they're like, "Oh, it's a spin-off of..." Like, what? Like, why would they do...

And then it just...

And Boulder Light was one of the companies and they had done Weapons and Barbarian and Friendships, so that's quite a rank.

And then the other company, Low Spark, that financed it, had done Take Shelter and Compliance and Emily the Criminal.

But there was a little going back and forth.

That's always part of it.

So they

did Emily the Criminal.

I haven't seen that yet.

So same

producers who did Emily the Criminal... tyler and drew did buddy and uh we talked about i mean i haven't seen it but i heard it's very fucked up i heard it just

exploded like my whole feed is nothing but that movie the past the past weekend

and they made it for like no money and it exploded and the thing is is i think because again i think that if you have this kind of off idea and it's not um An old IP.
