Summary

Winston Duke seemingly came out of nowhere to most audiences when he made his debut in "Black Panther". And quite an impression he made. He's followed that up by showing impressive range in Jordan Peele's "Us", and now the indie critical hit, "Nine Days". Winston gets real with Josh about the early influences on his career and how his presence as a large black man in today's society has sometimes put him sadly at risk. Plus Josh catches up with Stephen Lang to reminisce and look forward to "Avatar" adventures, and chat about "Don't Breathe 2", Stephen's return to his memorable Blind Man villain (or hero?).

0:00.0	Prepare your ears, humans. Happy, sad, confused, begins now.
0:09.3	Today on Happy, Sad, Confused, Winston Duke from Black Panther to nine days,
0:15.2	plus Steven Lang on Don't Breathe 2. Hey guys, I'm Josh Horowitz. Welcome to another edition of Happy,
0:21.6	Sad, Confused. We've got another two for this week for you guys. An embarrassment of riches.
0:27.3	Just too many damn good guests out there. It's hard for me to say no sometimes. So yes,
0:32.6	a little bit later on in the podcast, I have a brief catch up with our old buddy, Mr. Steven Lang.
0:38.2	He, of course, has been on Happy, Sad, Confused before and I go way back with Steven all the way back
0:43.6	to Avatar. Some, gosh, like 12 years ago, I probably met him. Did a ton for him with him then.
0:52.0	And now he's back. Not with Avatar 2 quite yet, though, we're about a year away from the publicity
0:57.2	train on that one, but with Don't Breathe 2, which is the sequel, as you might guess from the title,
1:03.4	to Don't Breathe. Not Don't Breathe 1. It was just Don't Breathe at the time. It would be
1:06.8	weird to call something Don't Breathe 1, unless it's some kind of meta commentary on sequels and
1:11.6	franchises. This is kind of the thriller horror franchise. It was directed, the first one was
1:15.9	directed by Fetty Alvarez. This one is directed by, I believe, one of the co-writers of the first one
1:20.4	in kind of like a collaborator in Prodigy of Fettays. And it's great to see Steven back at it.
1:26.4	Doing his thing as the blind man in an intense, dark thriller. Anyway, that conversation is a
1:32.4	little bit later on, and yes, we dive into Avatar Talk, so if you want a little bit of dirt on
1:37.9	the Avatar sequels to come, stick around for Steven Lang. First up, though, is a longer
1:43.4	conversation, a real heart to heart with an actor. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Winston Duke,
1:50.3	first-time guest on Happy Second Fuse. So that's really cool. Winston, of course,
1:53.9	primarily known for his role in Black Panther and the Avengers films, but also you saw him in
2:01.0	Jordan Peele's Us, and he is now mixing it up with a much different kind of a movie. He's front
