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

I'm Josh Horowitz and today on Happy Sad Confused, it is a special Teleride Film Festival edition of the

podcast with Michael Shannon with John David Washington and Danielle Dead

Weiler. That's right guys I am just back from the Telluride Film Festival. Truly my favorite

Festival of the Year. What a privilege to be there every year. The best movies on earth,

the best people. And we got a chance to sneak in some cool conversations.

So coming up on this episode, later on,

you're going to hear and see me,

depending on how you're watching or listening,

talk to Daniel Deadwiler, who very well could be an awards contender, mark my words, for a performance in the piano lesson alongside John David Washington. Good dude, so happy for him. He has an amazing performance in this one, the piano lesson which I was privileged to see on Broadway, where he started in it as well.

And this is the adaptation of the beloved August Wilson play, brought to life on the big screen directed by his brother Malcolm Washington, a true family affair.

So that is coming up a little bit later.

We shot a brief conversation outside Inteliorite and it's it's a

great catch-up with John David and also great to meet Danielle who's so so

talented but first up will be my spirit animal. I always talk about him and here he is. It's Michael Shannon and has been way too long since he's on the podcast. I know that and don't worry. This is just a an amuse boosh. We're going to do the full one Michael Shannon experience before too long,

but I wanted to catch up with him because he had a really cool film that I dug at Telly Red called The End.

This is a film, as the title suggests, about the end of the world.

It's actually about the end of the world in a way. It's about a family in a bunker led by Michael Shannon and

Tilda Swinton.

George Maccai is their son.

Moses Ingram kind of is the interloper into this family unit.

And it is a musical, yes you heard me right,
