I have been considering adding music to the old episodes

Below is a transcript of the final minute of Argo's SCV episode.

LV: *gives a long response to something Argo said*

Argo: Oh, God.

*both men giggle.*

*weird moment of silence*

LV: Ah, well.

*beat*

LV: That's a... place to end, I guess.

Argo: Okay. Very good. Good job, Jordan.

LV: Yeah. Yeah. Well, thanks for doing this.

Argo: Uh, yeah, thanks for asking me. Sorry I was not very good at it.

LV: You were fine.

Argo: *frantically* Okay. No no no no no. Don't.

LV: Calm down.

Argo. That's not what I'm saying. Alright. Enough.

LV: Alright. Well.

*beat*

LV: Goodbye.

Argo: Goodbye. *giggles*

Jorge, what questions do you wish LV had asked during your interview?

I was ready to talk about Zack Snyder and saw an opening when LV mentioned his BVS piece but didn't pursue it

That would have been fun. Next time, maybe.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I was hoping to hear you guys discuss Marvel films in depth. I'm not sure exactly why, but I feel like I really would have loved that debate/conversation.

Also, Jorge, have we ever talked about Almodovar? Do you have any feelings one way or the other about his work?

I am kind of on the fence about Almodovar. Just something about his aesthetic and overall tone and recurring themes just doesn't connect with me. I remember liking All About My Mother and Talk to Her when I watched them, but it's been a while. Everything else I've seen of his, I've reacted to with indifference or mild annoyance

Gotcha. That sounds familiar. Maybe we have talked about it before. I can totally see why his stuff wouldn't connect, though.

I also vaguely resent how he's become kind of the go-to Spanish language director in the international stage. Really, that guy? OK!

Totally. I certainly don't think of him that way, but I also think that's a little weird.
