And then as I evolved a little bit more, I-- When I first moved out to Los Angeles, I sort of imagined myself doing more like true crime stuff or like just dramatic thrillers, the Fincher kind of world.

And I ended up getting a lot of work in comedy and met a lot of comedic writer, actor, directors.

they, they had so much talent, right? [laughs] I mean, it wasn't just the, the banter and the double entendres.

They could dance, they could sing, all that stuff.

Um, and uh, you know, that was, that's sort of the one thing that I admire looking back on these films is just how much, uh, diversity they have and different abilities.

Um, and so even though, you know, those, uh, more s- uh, you know, sultry jokes were remo- sultry jokes [laughs] were removed after the Code, I thought they did pretty well.

And on top of that, having to deal with Bob's illness, you know, for them to keep going like they did, I, uh, to me is, is pretty impressive.

Mm-hmm.
