Prepare your ears, humans. Happy, sad, confused, begins now.

Today on Happy Sec infused a special live taping in New York City with the Northman star Alexander Skarsgard.

Hey guys, I'm Josh Harrow. It's welcome to another edition of Happy, sad, confused.

And yes, if you weren't able to come out to our podcast taping in New York City last week,

I'm happy to say we have here the conversation taped before a live audience.

I feel like I'm not talking about like a classic sitcom taped before a live studio audience.

But no, this was a fun night at the at the Y. We've done a few of these lately.

We got a chance to screen the Northman last Thursday evening and followed it up with a great chat with Alex Skarsgard,

who is the producer and star of this film.

You've probably heard me talk about this movie by now. I love this movie.

It is a kind of a great fusion of a big, ambitious action-inventure revenge tale with the sensibilities of an artist.

Like Robert Eiger is truly, he's got the goods.

If you know that, if you've seen the White House and the Witch and he brings it to another level in this film,

and I just love it, it has at its center this great performance, this impressively muscular performance from Alex Skarsgard.

He transformed his body because he was a mess to begin with. No, I just, but he did.

I mean, he's kind of like a beast in this movie. You'll see it.

There are some amazing sequences of these extended shots, these wonders throughout the film.

Supporting performances from Nicole Kidman and Clay Spang and Ethan Hawke and Bjork and you tell her joy.

At its core, it is a very kind of personal revenge story about a young man turned into Alexander Skarsgard when he grows up,

who seeking vengeance for what he views as a profound wrong inflicted on him and his family.

It's all set against this gorgeous backdrop. They shot it in Iceland and Ireland and it's just fantastic.

So the Northman is in theaters right now. I will say this conversation, a couple pieces of context.
