Summary
We revisit our conversation with filmmaking brothers Jay and Mark Duplass, whose movie, Cyrus, marked a turning point in their careers. They'd made feature films but never before with studio backing, never with known actors and never with significant budgets. As darlings of the indie world and trailblazers in the mumblecore filmmaking style they gained acclaim at festivals and on blogs, but now they're rising stars in Hollywood and are currently in post production on their next film, Jeff Who Lives at Home.

| 1:01.5 | Hello, John. |
| 1:02.2 | Hello, Kim. |
| 1:03.3 | So I just got an email a few days ago from my friends at Netflix telling me that they're going to charge me a little more if I want the plan that I've |

| 1:15.8 | and a little less, I guess, if I just am willing to stream. So it seems that the revolution is |

| 1:26.6 | cheaper and I suspect for them more |
