0:01Hank Palmer. Hank, Sheriff White, it's regarding your father. Biggest mistake of your career, and you just happen to run him over? Forensic's fallen trace of blood on your dad's car. I sat on the bench of that courtroom for 42 years. This was an accident period. We need to establish a firm defense. There's no way here, Henry. I wish I'd like to do more. I can't stay. You're a lawyer, he's your father. You leave now, you are granted. You're a shined up wooden nickel, Mr. Palmer. I'm going to impale your client on the first degree murder charge. You get a front-rest suit. My father's a lot of 1000 things, your murder is not one of them. Have you guys seen the movie eye? Has anyone seen it? Yes, I've seen it once. Okay, so since you've seen it, what uh... You haven't seen it? You haven't seen it.

0:47You're so good in it. So this is exciting then. Starting the film festival, we're getting to see the movie. What scene are you most excited to see? Since you haven't seen it yet. Everything that I'm not in. You heard it watching yourself? Because there's so many incredible actors in the movie. So it's going to be so exciting to watch. And David is becoming a friend of David Dobkins, becoming a friend of mine. I'm just so excited. I haven't looked forward to seeing something like this in a long time. Let's get over with you Jeremy. I've seen it. You've seen it. So what do you go back to? What were you most impressed with after seeing it? I mean seeing it the first time was like an out of body experience. And I think your expectations, you're so close to it. And you know it's such a subjective experience watching it, but I was totally blown away and moved to tears a number of times.

1:35So it exceeded and surpassed my expectations. And it's such a respectful performance for me as well. Thank you. I wasn't... I don't know. I don't know. I'm more than kind of surprised. It was just so great. So you've seen it? I have seen it. I saw a few weeks ago, yeah. I'm about for you. Having seen it as well here. It just hits the bullseye target of my heart. I weep every five minutes in this film. It's a very powerful movie. And what's it like going to a screening like you will tonight, having to watch yourself on the screen. How do we all do with that? I watch the audience. I look forward to that. This is probably the most exciting thing of a festival to me. It's just the opening night and to see how it plays. And to sit behind the audience or just snoop on them and see how it affects people. I have it for you guys.

2:20Well I haven't seen it with an audience yet. So I'm really excited to sort of feel how it lands on them. And I'll probably kind of gradually stick down. Yeah. I only have a minute left. So we do something called five questions. Five quick questions. One word answers. Everyone can answer. Script or improv? Script. No. Yeah. For the radio listeners they won't understand me. I'm just kidding. Stage or screen. Sorry. Screen. Screen. Screen. If it paid better? Stage. Hitchcock or Kubrick? Kubrick. Oh give them what you're doing now. It's an interesting one. It's a hedgehog. You got to say Hitchcock. I don't want to say Hitchcock.

3:06Okay. Lening or McCartney? Oh it's easy. It's easy. Okay. McCartney. Nice. Jeremy Tybreaker. Lening. In one word. The judge. Dally. Honest. Healing. Nice. Thanks guys. Appreciate it. Awesome. Thank you so much. Keep playing this game. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Good. Good. Good.
