Transcript
00:00one of my favorite stories about the first movie is in the final scene that it was your
00:04call to laugh as everybody is exploding around you right yeah
00:10i think uh because tonally it walks such a fine line that i wanted to make sure in the edit
00:19they
00:19had whatever version they needed of that specific scene so there was a version of that final scene
00:27where i'm taking it very seriously and like truly shocked and horrified and yeah i thought oh i'm
00:33gonna let me do one more where i just laugh because that's what the audience might react to
00:39like it's a funny thing and so if i'm laughing the audience knows like oh we're allowed to laugh
00:45um and it's kind of a weird thing human response so i tried to do the same thing in the
00:52second one
00:53just give them options so that depending on what scene follows it or what's coming afterwards
01:01do we need this scene to have a little bit more levity or do we need to bring it down
01:06it's really an ode to matt and tyler though letting the best idea come out of left field and win
