Rhys Darby & David Jenkins Interview: Our Flag Means Death

[@magikarpg]

literally starts off the interview talking about matelotage wow this show is a treasure

[@valeriepark9444]

LITERALLY JENKIN'S FIRST ANSWER THE BALLS ON THIS MAN

[@deliri0um]

i know right lol.

[@Dead-or-Alive1985]

David Jenkins is really out here doing the MOST for the gays

[@sarahsander1181]

david yelling to see the dog at the end of the interview is seriously the best also hes SO RIGHT about letting them have quiet moments - both rhys and taika are used to being bombastic and entertaining and i love david for wanting to give them quiet, contemplative moments. really put the soul in the show tbh.

[@Spinobean]

I just want to say: matelotage isn't -yet- in the show, and the question was, if I understood correctly "Whats your favorite bit in the show that was also true irl?" Sooo I am very exited for the next season 👀

[@wangxian_]

i was asking myself that too, like why did he mention it?

[@spiderwickian]

HHHHHHHHHHH ME TOO

[@Kelly-uw1xr]

Please I need to see Swede singing and buttons being the flower kid

[@k4eru20]

this show. i've known for a very long time that taika waititi and rhys darby and their new zealand crew were tv geniuses but this one just proves it again for the nth time. can't wait for the wwdits fandom to find this show it's absolutely spectacular

[@jessmt4464]

Oh we already found it 🫠

[@k4eru20]

@@jessmt4464 yeah i got into this show like 4 days before the majority of us so it was like that scene in lotr and the other similar scene in mulan

[@regisatlas]

david in the first 40 seconds: SO matelotage a true king and what tv shows really need

[@FeatherlessWings]

I’ve been a fan of Rhys and Taika both for years, and getting to see them play those beautiful dramatic scenes was such a special treat. This show feels like a showcase for character actors to get to play meatier roles for once, and treats them each with a lot of care and thought.

[@deliri0um]

youre telling me people dont know about gay pirates? or they slept at 8;30 sharp and gambling and fights were banned on the ship? the most crazy thing to me was that he had a library haha.

[@DiamondDave83]

Super cool and funny show keep the good work baby bonnet.

[@kiara800]

I don’t know how old David is but he has really good skin

[@tracer.s]

He's visibly thriving off of the good-will and joy of people who've been baited for years. More seriously, he reminds me of Brendan Fraser if Brendan hadn't been prematurely aged by stress (cries)

[@kiara800]

@@tracer.s so true!

[@ENnbY]

rhys’s hair in this interview is 🔥

[@sophovot5079]

Oh my god that dog is amazing tho

[@aadrienne33]

let's see the dog!!!

[@DariaElGrellPozina]

I gasped when she showed the dog pAq

[@katjagorter953]

the dog 🥺😭✨

[@starryfairy_]

yeah imma need hbo to renew this show for at least three more seasons chief

[@breeburton3782]

So curious where her interviews are with Taika cuz I wanna watch

[@HelleaaBak]

Miles chilling and then just thrown into fame 😂

[@allesfalls]

cat flag? cat flag!!

[@alphanerd7221]

Nothing like a comedy about two characters that will be dead in a year.

[@magikarpg]

david said in another interview that they're not doing reality, reality ended badly, they're doing what the relationship could've been

[@MoonRock9.]

@@magikarpg thank goodness for that 😂

[@Kelly-uw1xr]

It’s an anti historical rom com
