Julia Louis-Dreyfus & David Duchovny on You People, Joining the MCU & Quentin Tarantino

In Kenya Barris’ (Black-ish) feature directorial debut, You People, Jonah Hill, who co-wrote for the film, plays Ezra Cohen, a man desperate for love. When Ezra accidentally mistakes Amira Mohammad (played by Lauren London) for his Uber driver, the two laugh off the meet-cute and find that they really are falling for one another. In typical rom-com fashion, they have a happy, healthy relationship that Ezra is excited to take to the next level, but this means they'll have to meet each other's families. In a new take on the romantic comedy, You People addresses a number of important topics such as cultural and generational differences, and societal expectations that threaten the couple's bond.
Featuring an all-star cast, Ezra and Amira must appeal to each other’s families for their respect and blessing, and it isn’t going to be easy. In addition to Hill and London, the cast includes Eddie Murphy and Nia Long as Amira’s skeptical parents, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny who portray Ezra’s well-meaning, but painfully awkward parents, Shelley and Arnold. It’s clear they’re making attempts to make Amira feel welcome, but in doing so they simply make things uncomfortable. When they meet Akbar (played by Murphy) and his wife Fatima (Long), tensions really begin to rise.
In their interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, ahead of You People’s Netflix premiere, Louis-Dreyfus and Duchovny discussed the film and tons more. They share what it was like delivering cringe-inducing lines, how they knew when they were hitting the comedy bullseye, and how staying true to their characters’ intentions helped capture the satire. Louis-Dreyfus also discusses joining the MCU as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, and Duchovny reveals details about his audition for Quentin Tarantino and talks about his upcoming film Bucky F*cking Dent.

Wow, wonderful interview ❤I don’t have Netflix, but want to see this movie! Want to see Hanna And Her Sisters & Working Girl (though I have seen that one, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it). Looking forward to to BFD, MCU & Kepler ❤🕊💕

Terrific interview, and both actors seem genuine here. What's weird is she seems shy to admit her best work was probably Seinfeld, and he seems shy to admit his best work was probably X-Files. Unless they both are afraid of being pigeon-holed, what is the problem with admitting that??? "Enough Said" was good, and some people liked "Californication" but come on. let's get real. Just admit it.

Elaine Benes and Fox Mulder are undoubtedly their most famous roles, but I'm sure they feel they've done better, more nuanced acting on other shows or films. They came up in an era when being a TV star was 2nd-class status to being a movie star, and rarely did actors transition between TV and film. You WERE pigeonholed as a "lowly" TV actor in the '70s-'90s by movie execs. That all changed with the rise of prestige television in the late '90s/early '00s, and now being on a great TV show is just as prestigious as being in a great film, but I bet they still internalize that feeling of being "lesser than" from the '90s.

Elaine is definitely her most well known role, but I think her best is definitely Selina Meyer

[@Rubin4749]

@@vitormateussm Fair enough. She has played more than one great role--TV and film. I am a fan. She gave me some of the best laughs of my life--andf I never even watched "Veep" yet. so--maybe some laughs waiting for me there/

David Duchovny should do more comedy movies and not dive into the shitshow of what MCU is.
