00:00 Congratulations on this new film. What was it like working more closely with
00:05 Bill, Dan and Ernie, especially in this one having a more elevated role than in
00:09 Afterlife? It was so great getting to work with them on this. It's so surreal.
00:17 Honestly, I've been watching Ghostbusters my whole life and to be
00:23 able to, you know, I'm such a fan of theirs and a fan of the film, so to
00:27 kind of be a part of it is a thrill, a total thrill. I saw you had a pretty
00:33 epic scene with the Ecto-1. What was that like and was this the original car?
00:37 Yeah, I think that this was one of the originals. There's a few of them but
00:43 they don't, they're not easy to make and so they keep them and I think I'd
00:48 heard that this might have been one from the first one that I got to drive. It was
00:53 unreal to be able to drive that thing was unbelievable. I know
00:59 that I'm in a small group of people that can claim that. What an honor.
01:06 No, it looked pretty epic. I also wanted to mention I know you said that the
01:10 training... A lot of that, I wasn't driving in that scene where I'm going around.
01:15 No, you weren't. No, there's a lot of stuff that you have to do.
01:19 It'd be tough to try and film some of that stuff on streets in New York and they'd
01:24 have a stunt person doing some of that but a lot of it was in some of it was on
01:28 green screen too but some of it wasn't and I did get to actually drive it.
01:33 Well, we'd like to pretend. I also wanted to mention I know you said the
01:37 training process for Ant-Man was pretty brutal at times. How does
01:41 training for this compare? Well, it's not quite as intense but those packs are
01:49 heavy. After Quantomania, what are the odds that we're gonna get another
01:55 standalone Marvel movie from Ant-Man? I have no idea. I don't know.
02:00 That's not for me to answer. You'd have to go to Kevin Feige and those guys I guess.
02:06 And finally, I did want to say as a Die Hard Chiefs fan, how do you feel about
02:10 all of the attention that Travis and Taylor have been bringing to the city
02:13 and to the team? I think it's great. I love seeing people in love.
02:19 Come on, it's a great thing. I love that. Well, thank you so much for stopping by.
02:23 Have fun tonight.
