Scott shares insights on the difference between working on big-budget vs. indie films, what it was like to play a “fat guy” in John Wick 4, and how he stays in fighting shape. Adam and Scott also discuss courtroom sketch absurdities, the value of real stunt work in a CGI-heavy industry, and how AI could disrupt filmmaking. They shift gears to explore Ozempic’s bizarre side effects, and end with stories about filming with Keanu Reeves.
