What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe story tonight is that Chris Evans and Anya Taylor-Joy lead an off-beat movie that mixes action, comedy and drama, and /Film says it's now streaming on Netflix.

  2. Marguerite OyelaranOh, I've seen it. Very much a comedy. A warm, quiet, sad comedy about a lighthouse. Or a heist. One of those.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA lighthouse heist. That's not in the description we have.

  4. Marguerite OyelaranChip, the description is the trailer, and the trailer is a rumor. I'll be brief: the movie is a mood.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA mood. Let's turn to your own project, which I'm told is called Gravel Saints.

  6. Marguerite OyelaranIt's a courtroom musical set on a ferry. I play a judge who is also the ferry. I'll be brief, it took nine years.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe judge is also the ferry.

  8. Marguerite OyelaranMethod acting. I sat in a harbor for three weeks. Somebody did eventually ask me to move.

  9. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo, tough question. Have you actually watched the Evans and Taylor-Joy movie, start to finish?

  10. Marguerite OyelaranI'll be brief. Watching is a strong word, and I respect every word, and my grandmother taught me words, and she watched everything.

  11. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a no.

  12. Marguerite OyelaranIt's a poster-adjacent yes. I saw the poster at a dentist. Would you like some borscht? It's cold.

  13. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'll pass. Marguerite, you look like you want to confess something.

  14. Marguerite OyelaranI do. I don't know what jarring means. I said it on my podcast and three people nodded.

  15. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's the word in the headline. It means a bit of a shock.

  16. Marguerite OyelaranThen I've been jarring people for years. Thank you, Chip. I feel lighter. Colder, but lighter.

  17. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLightning round. Action, comedy or drama: which one is your van?

  18. Marguerite OyelaranDrama. Always drama. It has a sliding door.

  19. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLater this half hour, a question about what one staffer is worth to Disney. Marguerite, last plug.

  20. Marguerite OyelaranGravel Saints, in theaters whenever a ferry is free. I'll be brief: watch the movie, tell me how it ends.

  21. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd if you had to call this interview, action, comedy or drama?
