Adam: Can I ask, does the Benjamin Rabbit,, nickname, is that from ‘Duplex?’ Is that from the movie?

Drew: Yes, we were doing ‘Duplex,’

Ben: I would recommend anybody who ever has a chance to do a movie with Drew Barrymore do it because it's literally, it's the best experience. I mean you are who you are in real life, you know, this, this beautiful positivity that you put out into the world is who you are and working on a set with you was just so much fun and you brought, because I'm not always so positive and you, you lifted me up and I really just really enjoyed it and my daughter was born while we were filming the movie, yeah, yeah.

Drew: I love your guys' marketing moment were you visiting Grand Central Station? I think we have B roll of it, so this is you guys.

Ben: This is a couple of days ago.

Drew: I mean when we, you know, all started making films and stuff like there was just traditional marketing and now we live in such a bonkers universe that like you know to do something that that catches attention this was so smart and I can see Patricia Arquette taking it so seriously.

Ben: No they all took it so seriously and everybody was in character for 3 hours in that cube in Grand Central and it felt, you know, it was like kind of like a fun sort of art installation.

Adam: It was so fun.

Drew: What was going on on the inside.

Britt: We had all kinds of storylines interweaving and you know we've interacted with that piece of furniture so much it was like we were kind of creating little scenes in there.

Ben Stiller on What He’d Like To Direct Next and Why He Thinks Comedies Are Harder

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/yJ4EhWHdWmp6
Drew: Is there something that you like fantasize about tackling next as a director?

Ben: I'm looking forward to like directing more movies.

Drew: Comedy?

Ben: It’s funny I feel like I've been sort of I've been hiding out a little bit in non-comedies as a director and actor because I think comedies are harder.

Drew: They say dying is easy comedy is hard.

Ben: I mean it's, it's challenging because when you make a comedy people expect to laugh, and if you don't, it's a, you know, a very measurable goal and if it doesn't, you don't hit it and there's nothing more fun though, as I'm sure you know than sitting in the audience of like at a movie theater watching a comedy so what I would hope would happen soon is that these comedies in the movie theaters will come back and so maybe that might be fun to go for.

Yeah, so I come, I've come full circle.

Drew: I'm having such a weird idea right now that I can't share, but I need to share with you off camera. It's like a bell just went off.

Ben: Yeah, right, I'll be around after the show.

Adam: An idea for a for a movie?

Drew: Uh-huh.
