No.126 "You know, I was thinking about you because everyone
started renting and buying the movie ""Contagion.""
It was a movie about a global pandemic.
-Yeah. -It was made years ago.
Is it eerie to even think about doing that movie
now that we're kind of living it?
-Kind of extraordinary, isn't it?
First of all, I found it a little 'A' that everyone
went back to watch that in the middle of the real thing.
-Yeah. -It was like -- You're like --
You just turn on the news. You don't need to watch it.
But at the same time, it was --
Yeah, well, first of all, I think I wrote immediately
to Steven Soderbergh
and just said, ""You got it. You were there 10 years ago.""
And if I'm honest, I remember also one of the most --
kind of affecting memories or experiences on that film
were the -- the doctors and the virologists who are advising us,
all of whom were these extraordinary men,
and they were all saying to us,
""This is a matter of when, not if.""
And I remember leaving the whole experience thinking,
""Oh, yeah, you know --"" Look at me.
You touch yourself on the face 10,000 times a day.
We don't wash our hands.
All of that stuff was sort of embedded in me.
But, of course, it slowly percolates away.
And as you say, here we are in it.
So it is kind of unusual. -Yeah. Just bizarre.
It's just -- The whole thing is just really bizarre.
Even -- I agree with you, I was like -- I was guilty.
I actually rented the movie, as well.
And I go, why -- Maybe I was looking for hints or answers
of how it's going to end. -Yeah, that's right.
-I was getting 'B' --
I was like -- ""Oh, yeah. We're living it, yeah.""
