I'm Elvis Mitchell, and this is The Treat.

Writers, producers, directors, Phil Lord, and Chris Miller have made their signature on projects

of their comedies from one angle and melodramas from another.

Their latest is the film Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling.

But they've also brought us the Lego movie and the Spider-Verse animated films.

Their treat is an intimate film that has grown epic over the decades.

I'm Chris Miller.

I'm Phil Lord, and this is The Treat.

Phil and I met in college, our freshman year, and quickly realized that we both had the same

favorite film, which was Harold and Maude.

Don't be shy.

Just let your feelings roll on by.

Don't wear fear

Or nobody will know you're there

A film about a young man

Who is trying to find his way in life

And has a dark take on humanity

And meets up with an older woman who is all joy and

positivity and appreciates life and teaches him a thing or two.

Tell me, Harold, what do you do for fun?

What activity gives you a different sense of enjoyment from the others?

What do you find fulfilling? What gives you that special satisfaction?
