Leonardo Drew: Our conversation that we’re having right now is another material to work into the next iteration.

Jay Chandrasekhar: The rhythm is off and the tone of the performances are off.

Drew: They can open new doors.

Chandrasekhar: That’s the kind of thing we can’t do.

Drew: You mean ubiquitous and always on.

Chandrasekhar: You can’t count on improvising the perfect joke in the moment.

Drew: But in the end, it’s an extremely simplistic way of getting from A to B.

Chandrasekhar: You never know. That’s what hell was like for one person.

Drew: That just means you put your body literally out there as an antenna, a receiver of information, and that information is going to come.

Chandrasekhar: You can’t do that high.

Drew: In the end, you have to. For some of us, it’s a spiritual, almost religious, endeavor.

Chandrasekhar: We’ll see. It’ll come out and the internet will explode one way or the other.

Drew: It’s a “mirror,” and you should be able to find yourself in it.

Chandrasekhar: I’m hoping that’s what happens.

Drew: Foreign films, anime, old classics, you name it.
