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

Today on Happy Sad Confused, BJ Novak, from the office to a future film writing and directing career with vengeance.

Hey guys, Josh Harrow, it's here with another edition of Happy Sad Confused,

and a new first time guest to the pod, but someone of course you're familiar with

Mr. Taran, Edgerton, Taran Edgerton. I'm already promoting next week's podcast.

Taran Edgerton is next week. BJ Novak is this week. I'm losing my mind, guys.

I just came from the Taran Edgerton event. We taped a live event at the 92nd Street Y.

You know what? I'm going to keep this in. This is real. This is real life.

No, today's podcast is with BJ Novak. BJ, of course you know from the office among other things,

but now he has turned his sights on a future film writing and directing career.

He has also starring in the new film Vengeance, which I got a chance to see at the

It's Tribe Back a Film Festival premiere just a few weeks ago.

As soon as I attended, I was like, oh, I got to talk to BJ. This is the perfect excuse.

And this conversation more than lived up to it. He's a smart, funny guy that I definitely relate to on many levels.

And it was a joy to talk about this new film, which starts off with a really

fun, provocative premise basically in a nutshell. BJ plays a podcast or journalist type

who has been hooking up with a woman who has turned up dead in West Texas.

He gets a phone call from the family saying, you are our daughter's boyfriend.

That's what she said about you. So you have to come to West Texas.

He did not consider himself a close acquaintance.

So he finds himself embroiled in this mystery around the sadly deceased daughter,

was she murdered? Was it a drug overdose? The mystery will unspool before our eyes.
