it is a mockumentary, which I don't think quite describes it, because it's a.

And Sona, you saw it as well, the thing that struck me as I watched it, and

And I'm speaking as someone who has nothing, no connection to that world and that experience, but

you can tell when something is authentic.

And this is a very smart, honest, funny, wry look at what you went through.

And no, it is not factual, but it's true.

I mean, just when you watch the movie, you get a really good sense of what it's like to be you.

it felt to me like a very honest, cool, innovative document.

And I don't know what your experience was.

It reminded me of something you said, which is a lot of times people try to justify their paychecks, and

it seemed like there was a lot of characters in here who were trying to justify their paychecks in a way.

And it shows you what it really is for people who are such a big part of the Zeitgeist, who have so many voices that are just coming at them.

He's so incredible in this, but everybody is so funny.

it's such a great glimpse into what it's like to go through what you went through.

We're big Rachel Sennett fans, and she was sitting in that chair weeks ago, and

we were talking about her new show, and I just adore her.

I love that she's playing this version of herself, which isn't all that flattering, and it's really funny.

But also, I love that she comes in and encounters you at a weak moment and gives you this advice, which is, like, comically, she's telling you, you got to go for it.

But in a way, you're thinking, no, don't listen to that.

Her lighting is insane, and I look insane.

Song about the Fruit, you know, there were so many moments that are.

And, yeah, Alexander Skarsgrd's coming in and he's this very awkward, weird energy.

But to your point, Sona, It's a really good point.

The thing I like the most about the movie is something that happens all the time in any kind of entertainment endeavor, which is you are you.

You are a real person living in the world.

You are following your own North Star, creatively making your stuff.

Then you hit this motherlode of insane success.

Credit card companies, Frappuccino companies, sneaker companies, banks, presidential candidates, everybody moves in.

And as we talked about earlier, a lot of your work is flow state work.

But now people are saying, now, hold on a second.

It's not good for Arby's restaurant if you say fuck in the song.

Why would Charli XCX be saying, I like Arby's?

And that is depicted so well in this movie.

It also felt like very much a snapshot of where we are right now.

And I think people are always trying to depict.

There's a lot of movies about famous people and people going through fame.

I thought this was the truest depiction I've seen in memory of what it's really like.

Yeah, it's like, thank you for saying all of that, by the way.

And you really got the film, which is great.

And the car ride on the way over in your white Ford.

And then they showed you a picture of my hair and you went, what is that?

You're so locked into the edit and you're like, are we insane?

And then you're like, you know, whatever.

When someone likes my work, I say, you're smart.
