Was I supposed to be talking to the camera this whole time? No, no, no, you can talk to me and the camera. But the nice thing, yes, the nice thing about, hi Hank. I just want to meet Hank though, I haven't met Hank. I know. So I'm excited that this video somehow involves him. Yeah, he'll see it. Awesome. Other people might too. Oh, that part scares me. I'm scared about the comments. You know, you know I'm a little scared about the comments. I don't want to over-hype them, but in general, our people are nice. I wouldn't be able to do this video if you didn't have such great fans because I would be too scared of the wrath of the comments. Good morning, Hank. It's Tuesday. I am joined by Hannah Marks, the director of the Turtles All the Way Down movie. And thank you, Hannah, for directing this movie. You'd only made one movie when you first interviewed to be the director. Hannah came in to this meeting with these producers and studio people, and she showed us what a thought spiral would look and feel like. And it was incredible. I feel like that was the first thing that you and I really agreed on, which was that her brain is the conflict of this movie, which we've really never seen before. And it's such a hard thing to tackle because it's invisible, right? It's not tangible. So what did you talk about me directing you yesterday? Oh, God. So Hannah, what was it like directing me? John Green, the world's worst actor. It was bliss. Total bliss and joy. He was terrific. He needs to stop saying that he's a terrible actor. He's a great actor. He's a spoiler. He does squats in the movie. He literally smiles. I mean, I better not do squats in the movie. I did squats in one take as a joke for you. No, that's going to be in the final cut. Actually, I can't guarantee if it'll be in the final cut. It will be in the director's cut. Well, I am going to have one note for the studio. I joined TikTok just for John's account. But now you're all in. You're mostly getting dogs. Yeah. I have almost no dogs on my free e-page. Well, can we even be friends then? My mom has a really good advice for people. Yeah. She said to not marry anyone unless they like beetles and dogs. It's good rule. What do you think about that? I think it's good. It reminds me of an important question, though. Oh, no. Do I set myself up for the beetles question? I mean, everybody's seen it already. But I forgot the bit. Is there a bit? Who is your favorite beetle? Post-watching this new documentary that came out, Home of Cartoon. OK. Before that John went in. So your favorite beetle used to be John? I think he was just maybe the most famous. Yeah. Not to take away from his talent. Sure. He's my favorite beetle. Oh, great. And then do you have a favorite color? Green. What is the beetle's bit? I still don't know. I think what you're confused about is that the bit is so bad. It's that you can't believe that's the whole bit. But that is it. There is no second layer. I really like it, but do you want to know my real favorite color? Yeah. It's orange. And you know this. It's because that is the cover of the book. It has the orange spiral. And so then this is really silly, but for good luck. Whenever I was interviewing for the job, for turtles, I wore orange nail polish on orange shirt. I know that's so silly, but it made me feel better. And the color palette of this movie, without giving anything away, carries some of that forward. Definitely. I think there's pops of orange and teal because those are the two colors of Aza and Daisy's cars, which I really, really liked. There are a million things that are amazing about having you direct a movie. But one of them is that all these little choices that we made, that like Julie, my editor, and I made very consciously and carefully to see those choices loved and cared for and expanded upon by you in all the choices that you've made around the movie has just been amazing. Oh, thank you. It's just because I love the book so much. I mean, I came into this being such a huge fan of the book. We got to go. We got to go. We got it. Oh my god. This way to late. Goodbye. Say Hank, I'll see you on Friday. Me? Yes. Hank, I'll see you on Friday. Will I actually? No. I don't know how this works.
