00:00I gotta say, this was the best experience I had in all 2025.
00:03You have the best one-liner in the whole movie.
00:07There's no bad spirits.
00:08It's vampires.
00:10Oh, God.
00:11My whole row roared.
00:15That's such a great line.
00:17My whole row roared.
00:21So my first question is, when you're saying that line on set,
00:24are you aware of the effect that's going to happen in the audience?
00:27And does that change at all the way you say it?
00:30It's so funny because that whole scene with the door and the thing,
00:36there was a lot of laughs.
00:37It's such a great question.
00:39I think there's moments that in delivery, we find it funny,
00:44and we're like, okay, that's a great line.
00:47Or we find it cool.
00:47Find it cool or whatever, but we never really, really know
00:50if the audience is going to react to it the way you did.
00:54And that's the joy of it, I guess, not really knowing.
00:56But in the moment, it feels right.
00:58It feels right for the character, it feels right for the moment.
01:00Michael and Miles were teasing each other.
01:03It was hilarious.
01:05And then, I can't remember, but I felt like it was a one-take shot.
01:09I feel like it was.
01:10And I don't know.
01:11And then they were like, okay, we got it.
01:13And I was like, oh, really?
01:14Yeah.
01:14I thought that was the rehearsal, but okay, I guess we got it.
01:19So I think, right after she did that line, another line you're talking about,
01:22I think she smiled.
01:25So we used every frame before she kind of smiles and shrugs,
01:30like, was that it?
01:33But yeah, yeah, it's a great, because she's out of breath.
01:36There's a lot of shit going on.
01:38Yeah, it's great.
01:38Do some, you know what I'm saying, some garlic or whatever.
01:41I got to meet your work on True Grid, right?
01:56And you had an accent as well in that film.
01:58So I was wondering, did you learn something about the way
02:01or the things you can do with your voice on True Grid
02:03that somehow carried all the way through Sinners?
02:05Oh, it's so funny you bring that up,
02:08because I felt like for so many reasons,
02:13my experience working on Sinners reminded me so much
02:17of my experience on True Grid, again, for so many reasons.
02:20But that may have just sort of been out there in the universe,
02:23that that was one of them.
02:24I think what that taught me, though, was to listen.
02:29I was able to pick up on what was around me at the time.
02:35And that was, I think, the most helpful thing,
02:39was to just sort of immerse myself into the world.
02:42We shot that movie in Texas and New Mexico,
02:46and there was just a great range of what they were looking for
02:49as far as the dialect.
02:51With this, we worked with the most incredible dialect coach,
02:54and she broke it down and made it fun,
02:57because that's something that, like,
02:58you're looking at a sheet that looks like you can't break it down
03:02unless somebody's breaking it down for you.
03:04And she made it so easy to digest and so much fun,
03:07and it was a history lesson more than anything.
03:10And to be around my castmates, too,
03:14that so beautifully nailed these dialects was very helpful.
03:19I love it.
03:20And I love that your relationship goes back to Fruitvale.
03:23And I really wanted to ask you,
03:24is there something you guys learned about each other
03:26back in Fruitvale that somehow carried through
03:28all the way through Sinners?
03:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:31I think working with Mike back then, man,
03:38it was 13 years ago.
03:43Wow, 13 years ago.
03:44You know, like, I think that he, very much like an athlete,
03:54can get into, like, a heightened place.
04:00Like, he's always great,
04:02but there are times where, you know,
04:05he can get into, like, the quote-unquote zone.
04:07And me noticing those moments
04:12and really making sure that everybody's locked in,
04:15the crew is locked in, nobody's interrupting him.
04:18You know, maybe we can do longer takes
04:19when he's at a point like that and not want to, you know,
04:23it happens with every actor, every type of performer,
04:26every type of person that does anything.
04:28But I have a very keen insight
04:31to what is happening with him
04:32from working with him for so long.
04:35And that's when you can get some really, really, like,
04:38really, really, like, special,
04:40transcendent, memorable stuff.
04:49I love it.
04:49And Miles, I've got to tell you,
04:51I've been listening to your single
04:52ever since I got to see that, the screening.
04:56So my question is,
04:57does the way Miles sing
04:59somehow informs the way Sam sing?
05:01And does the way Sam sang
05:03has somehow influenced
05:05the way Miles is going to sing from now on?
05:08I would say for this one,
05:10I listened to a lot of old blues artists
05:13to kind of, you know,
05:14bring myself back in that time.
05:16So I feel like I aged my voice a little bit,
05:19but I felt like
05:20it also became so natural
05:22that I'm, you know, incorporating it
05:24into some of my stuff now.
05:26So just to have that opportunity
05:28to be able to learn about,
05:30you know, those different styles
05:32and different genres of music,
05:33it was, you know, incredible.
05:34My final question would be,
05:36I know it's really a really personal film to you.
05:38Yeah.
05:38So, and you talk about your uncle.
05:41So I was wondering,
05:43and I mean, no disrespect,
05:44but if you had the chance
05:45to show the movie to your uncle,
05:47what would be the part
05:48that you'd be most excited about for him to see?
05:50I'll show him all of it,
05:51you know what I mean?
05:51Like, it's a movie he would love,
05:53you know?
05:54He didn't really go to the movies.
05:56That's what's crazy.
05:57He listened to Bulls records at home,
05:58but he would go see my movies,
05:59you know?
06:01So, yeah, like I wrote it with him,
06:04you know, with him in mind,
06:05you know, so like,
06:06I think he would,
06:06I think he would like all of it.
06:08Like, I kind of believe
06:08he's there when we watch it,
06:10you know, personally.
06:11I can feel the love.
06:12Guys, thank you very much.
06:13My time is coming up,
06:14but thank you very much for the best,
06:15one-liner,
06:16best bumper movie,
06:17all 2025.
06:17I'm telling you,
06:18I can't wait to tell everyone.
06:20Thank you very much, guys.
