I was brought up having to watch English plays,
which is like people drinking cups of tea for two and a half hours, and I always wanted to shoot them.
I'm David Marchese, and today I'm interviewing Academy Award-winning filmmaker Martin McDonough.
McDonough writes and directs darkly funny, profane.
This is just a fucking start.
Why don't you put that on your Good Morning Missouri fucking wake-up broadcast?
Violent.
And stylish movies.
Films that seem to want to make you laugh as much as provoke you.
Like The Banshees of Inishirin or Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
And his latest, Wild Horse Nine, about two CIA agents played by Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich.
And who the fuck are you?
The CIA?
We are the CIA, actually.
We're totally the CIA.
We're not the CIA.
His work is full of ideas I wanted to ask him about.
How he sees politics, provocation, and his own legacy.
Here's my conversation with Martin McDonough.
But first, a quick message.
