What's happening, everybody? This is a special episode. One of our IRL weeklies, a little bit different today because we are talking about the Oscars last night. There are so many important moments to discuss. And even to discuss where IRL is connected, we feel very strongly on this podcast about a couple of people that were having an amazing moment last night at the Oscars. So we shall discuss. Do you remember actually when we interviewed Tiana Taylor-Breck in 2023? You know, that was her, I think, one of her first, like her kind of like her acting debut in a way for 2001, which is a great film. But you know, in our trailer, how you introduce her is actually you say Future Academy award-winning Tiana Taylor. Yo, how are you putting that out there? I'm really like, you know what I mean? Manifesting things for people. It happens. There's a clip back in the day of me talking about people having babies together. It's like it happened like three times. So I was like, you guys can have a baby and then they had a baby. It was like three times I put that on somebody and it happened. So yeah, she didn't win the Oscar, but she did get the nomination and she got all the glory of that moment. And and there was just so much you could just tell she's like francing around in these amazing outfits in her glory. Like she is, I don't know, she's just in the space that she's worked so hard to be. And I think winning the award sure is nice, but I think it's beyond winning the award. It's just like filling up and being in the space that you're supposed to be in life. I feel like she's arrived in that space with or without an Oscar. She's arrived in the space that she's worked so hard to be. You could totally tell how how happy I mean, I don't think there was anyone more happy just to be at the Oscars than Tiana Taylor was. You know, her category came really early on in the Oscars last night. And when she when she lost to Amy for weapons, that girl, the camera panned to her and you see Tiana jumping on my up and down. Oh, my God. You thought you thought for a second like, did Tiana just win? That's a way of showing like she's just that's to me. That's exactly what I'm saying. It's like she's just happy to be in this moment. She's happy to be sitting next to Leo, happy to be in this class, happy to be making art that I'm sure she's super proud of. And, you know, sitting next to her mom who's been on this journey with her whole I mean, she gave her her journey, right? But like, I don't know, just the whole thing. See, and Michael B Jordan there with his mom, they was like a lot of love. And maybe it's just us. Maybe we're biased a little bit. Well, like I just felt like it just felt like a lot of love was present yesterday. Watching Michael B Jordan win that award sitting next to his mother. And he's been a working actor since he's a kid. And the fact that he said I could feel everybody's wanting me to do well. Like I felt that deep, like because I feel that sometimes like sometimes we'll do something and I'll meet people that be like, yo, we've been with the pod. They be like, I love the pod so much. And I could feel that they wanted to do well, that they want me to do well. And that's such a great feeling. I can only imagine for him with like more than half the world rooting for him to have this moment, what that must feel like. And then he wins it and he's sitting next to his mom. And then he goes to N and L burger after which was. He didn't love him enough. Like just the whole thing was just really nice to see. So yeah, it was a special moment. But one of the things I wanted to talk about and we are going to play some clips to refer to some of these episodes that we're talking about. But one of the things that I love seeing last night was, you know, there's a new category category for casting director. There is watching the cinematographer for the woman who won for sinners. Yeah, I don't watching her when, you know, it really in a lot of people in their speeches referred to like filmmaking is not the star. It's not just Michael B Jordan. Like Michael B Jordan. Yes, he won an Oscar. That's amazing. God bless him. But if if Ryan didn't write that script, if his wife didn't produce it with him, if that cinematographer didn't make it look the way it looked, like it really is. And it really takes a village is what I'm saying. And to see some of those people in the village be acknowledged. That to me last night was super dope. I love seeing that. I love seeing the people that, you know, make the village. And so there's a lot of that going on last night. And totally. And by the way, congratulations to Ryan, because he did win for best screenplay. He didn't win the director award, but he will at some point. So Marty Scorsese. I don't know how many films before he got one. Ryan's going to get one. But I was glad that he won screenplay. And and then some of the post interviews. Man, the way he talks about his wife. Can we just. Before I get into what I have to say about that. Do we have any clip from his episode that refer to that at all? Yes, I got an amazing wife who's been with me, known me a long time. And it's always very honest with me. It's very smart. So I keep her around and let her in on everything I'm doing, you know, so she can kind of give me perspective when I'm drowning in stress. She can tell me, yeah, you should be worried or not. You trip me, you know what I'm saying? Lots to love about that clip. Number one, as a also a fellow workaholic, I understand the concept behind that. I love hearing that from him. But over just the way that he respects and honors his wife. And even when people try to give him credit for that, you know, sometimes I hate to see this, but like sometimes people will be like, oh, it's the way you talk about your wife. Like he's doing her a favor. You know what I'm saying? Like, oh, it's nice you let your wife produce the movie. And people don't say that. But there is a tone sometimes that people say something that makes, I don't know, it like diminishes diminishes her importance. And he is always the first one to check that. He's like, oh, it's not a favor. Oh, no, I'm grateful to have her be part of this film. Oh, this film doesn't happen without her. You know, I love the way he checks people in terms of the tone in which people refer to his wife. I'll tell you a quick story about Zanzi. And you all should just know, man, that this movie, you know, big credit to her and her and said our partner, man, but it wouldn't be what it was what it was what I heard, man. And she did it all. Pregnant and postpartum. Most of you, like, like I've seen her. She was she was in every she was in every post production meeting, man, like, like, like holding it down and dealing with all types of stuff. You know, the only I could see. We took the film on a roll all over the world while she was out out here. Y'all saw her, man, I wasn't easy. And then we and it hasn't stopped. You know, I mean, all of this since you know, our little baby is seven months old now. And she and she and as good as a producer she is, she even better mom. So so to see her do all of this is crazy. But but but. I'm just I'm just I'm just leave y'all one insight into her brilliance, man. Like, like we were dealing with some stuff at home and two family members were kind of at each other's throats about about about some things. And I did what I did. I vented for like 40 minutes to her about, you know, who did what and why we got to do this. This for who? And and and she took a deep breath when I got done, Vin. And her in her crazy, zingy way. And she says, you know, sometimes it doesn't matter who's right. What matters is that people know that the other person cares about. And I and I had, you know, I'm a writer. I heard a lot of words. I listen to my words at the time. I live with this woman for a long time. I never heard those words put together like that in that context. And I was I was like, God damn, man, you want to one. And I and I and I feel like one of one for bagging her young, you know, Sam. Oh, I'm sorry. Hey, hey, hey, so so so so look, yo. Hey, so I see all the comments. Everybody's like, I pray for us all to find this. Like, well, so and then that's the dope thing about Ryan. It's like he pays attention to the detail of he's such a truth teller. Like, you know what I'm saying? That even like a false tone about his wife, he's going to check that fast. And I just appreciate that so much. And I think that's what makes him a phenomenal storyteller. Is this like the music's always going to be the right music, the tone, the laugh, the way you ask the question about my wife. I'm like, we're going to get that right. Because, you know, sometimes it's in the little things how things are framed. And I just appreciate that about him so much. One of the reasons why not only is he one of my favorite filmmakers, but I just think he's super dope as a human being. I don't know his wife. I've never met her, but I'm like her number one fan. She just loved him as a couple. And it's just so nice to see that type of love, you know what I'm saying? That type of work relationship, too, by the way, because he'll tell you himself that that movie wasn't what it would have been, what it was without her on it. So that was really nice to see. And then also a quick little clip of Michael B. Jordan at In-N-Out Burger after the awards. Whoa. Back up, back up, back up. Hi. The part in his speech where he says to his kids, I'm sorry that this is causing us to be, you know, spend so much time away from you. But the one thing I hope when I'm long and gone is that I leave you with good memories. I was weeping. You were weeping. You know, we saw emotional. What's wrong with us? I was so emo. That's what I mean. Because it was actually, there was so much genuine love happening. I don't know. It was just, yeah, I don't know. What do you think? Why? What are we going to say? I think you can relate when you put that much, when you really care and love about, love your work that you do, you know how much, how much it takes to make something. Good to make something great. Yes. Let's go. Our I Heart Radio Music Awards are coming back Thursday, March 26th live on Fox.

You can get the Stuff You Should Know ThinkSpring playlist on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. By the way, speaking of making things, I posted a clip that I finally, that I shadowed my boy, Steve and Kate, who drew me around the set of Man on Fire. So I posted this thing on Instagram that I have secretly been studying and filmmaking for the past, I don't know, four or five. I feel like since COVID, honestly, doing masterclasses, doing lessons, shadowing people, asking a lot of questions, doing research, reading books, all of that. Now, Brittany, Brittany too, Brittany's been on this journey with me, the two of us. And so I shared a post of how I was able to follow Stephen in Mexico City on the set of Man on Fire, which is getting ready to come out, which I'm very excited to see. But I was there when he was directing an episode in Mexico City. Now, Stephen, who was an amazing filmmaker, also friends with not only is he friends with Ryan, Ryan, I believe kind of put him on to Creed, too, because you know, Ryan did Creed one. Stephen did Creed two. Well, I believe Ryan was doing Black Panther. Anyway, I say that's all that to say. Ryan Hoogler went to USC. Stephen Cable Jr. went to USC. The person who won Best Documentary last night, USC Film Student. I don't know what we got to do. I don't know if there's like an online program or something, but whatever they're doing at the film school at USC, probably because you churning them out over there. But yeah, that makes an interesting, beautiful, I don't know, graft. In and out after this Oscars, the in and out stock is up at USC as we have flooded with applicants for sure. That was happening, you know, as it should. Yeah, it was a great night. What else? Tiana Taylor. I know we talked about her not winning, but she she looked incredible. She had an amazing night. I'm certain I love seeing her there with her mom. As women in filmmaking for sure, Autumn winning Best Cinematography, being the first woman to ever win in that category. And when she tells all the women in the audience, she's like, if you're a winner, you know, it was so good. That's so good. And I'm so glad that the because, you know, sometimes people call out to the audience and they're like, you'll put your hands together or whatever and people don't oblige. You're like, yeah, whatever. But when they zoom out the camera to show everyone standing up, you're like, dang, that's how many women are a part of this, this industry and without their influence. And they often go unnoticed. They often usually behind even the even the woman who won for wardrobe, Best Wardrobe. I was thinking about my friend Tiffany shout out to Tiff the stylist, you know, she'd been doing this for years for all types of shows and films and projects and she she don't get that type of recognition, but she'd be right next to the people making films and I was watching the woman who did win for wardrobe. I think it was for Frankenstein. Yeah, it was spectacular. Frankenstein wardrobe is spectacular. Yeah, so for that for her or and for all, can you imagine my friend Tiffany for all of the with the many, many women behind the scenes that have been working at this 1020 30 years to finally be recognizes. It's pretty I mean, all that calls for waterworks. All that was very emotional yesterday. I love seeing you 100%. I think overall overall theme for it is like a village. Well, yes, of course that takes a village, but also doing things without rec recognition, like still maintaining motive motivation throughout it without getting like, you know, that pat on the back because there's like even after Oscar after the work when those women are still going to go back and, you know, do the same great level of work. And some and some people are there and they're never going to get it at all. So the Oscars is a nice, but it is it. I'm going to be honest. Normally you watch the Oscars and you say the big celebrity wins the best actor best supporting actor best whatever. And everybody's like those are the moments. I don't feel like those were the moments this year. I feel like the moment for the people that were behind the camera the people that don't agree with the moments that I got most emotional when she when all of who's been a cinematographer for I don't know how many years makes the whole all the women in the room stand up or the woman like I said who won best wardrobe or just any of those moments like or the agents. I feel like there was a moment with with with agents and just all the casting directors yeah and a casting director who you know people spend their whole life hours loose sleep moves like and built a craft a valuable craft. That sits quietly kind of in the shadows while these big productions are made and then the actor goes and gets the spotlight and gets the awards but it's it's the people behind the scenes it's the village and to me that those moments last night were the most special moments at the Oscars those are the ones they got me a little watery I more than anything. And then of course Ryan and it's amazing. I'll forever cry for them. But yeah I hope we see more of that. I think that was so good. And the theme of it takes a village but it's also like what God has for you like that timeline is way above you like he's already whoever up there whatever you believe in that already hasn't figured out like you taking a Tiana who has been working since she was a teenager baby she goes from music artists to quitting music to picking up a camera herself and creating directing all the way to now and you know now she's getting that recognition and then even a Michael B Jordan who started off when he was also a kid from going from the wire right to now he finally. And then the commercials and what they both together as a team is even that even the friendship of these two men at the awards together having that grand moment together after Fuglil station after Creed after Black Panther to be here during sinners. I mean it's really like come on. This is this is pretty spectacular stuff. And then and then for them to be real ones. I mean to be honest, you know what I'm saying like no seriously like not it's not a small thing. And I think for me, that's half of more than half of the joy like it said, that's a real one right there man look at that. That to me is the most inspiring part of it, because there have been people successful in Hollywood they have been people who have broke boundaries and knock doors down and that's cool. But like to be a real one and do it to me is a different level of success to maintain who you are where you from the people you came up with your beliefs, your vision, your art, your your storytelling is so pure and honest, and then you do it that way under those circumstances that to me is like, That's the most inspiring it could get. And so where Ryan Cougar is concerned that's how that's that's what I feel happened and Mike to like and Mike to he's so real that he won't even be on the voting committee committee for the Oscars because he's like, No, I don't want to I will feel bad judging my my peers art. I know he trying to tell you he is a real we're going to start the line Cougar fan club here at the end of the IRL podcast. And by the way guys, if you have not watched this episode, please go back. It was before centers was a right before centers. Why do we it was way before centers actually working on centers right he was like working on it writing it. But. Oh yeah he was doing the project with the back. But it's just it's an insight into him as a human, like, and as a creative. And I really love that episode. And now granted we could be biased because we are like I said we do fancy film and we aspire to be filmmakers and we're in that creative learning space right now and so maybe we're a little biased but I just think there's so much to learn about that. The way he navigates to his world. And he's just super dope and like I said, a real one so definitely worth an episode what worth watching if you haven't caught it yet. Also I highly recommend one of Britney's favorite episodes ever on IRL podcast. See on a Taylor. Right. I want to miss me. Your favorite ones. It's definitely one of mine too. More you whenever everybody asks you always refer to that one. Yeah, because I always appreciate like, you want a glimpse of it just watch the trailer on that on the Angie Martinez IRL page because you can go out with the trailer. Let's go out with both their trailers on this episode. No seriously, one of the best like we take time on those trailers for the pod we like after the episode of like what did we learn from them what did we talk about and then we make a trailer based on that and so it's the it's the what we think is in the episode and it's just a sample the tiniest little sample ever. But I'll give you both of those on the end of this so you can do it so you can check those episodes out. Anyway, there's also a new episode random not Oscars related well. June Ambrose was at the Oscar party looking fabulous. The June Ambrose are past episode and there's some beautiful stories from June to about learning to deal with grief after losing her mom. She she shares the story about J and B and we don't really get to hear a lot of intimate stories about J and B and the way she the way she shared it that I thought were pretty great. Anyway, another episode can you check out that just got. Alright, so as promised I'm going to leave you with these two trailers of two episodes that you can check out as it relates to the Oscars but feel free to check out whatever episode you like just make sure you subscribe and tell a friend and I'll be back on to Wednesday with a new episode. So hopefully you'll check that out. Thank you boost mobile. Thank you great. And we'll catch you soon. It feels like a real moment. Does it feel like that for you? Yeah, it definitely feel like the moment. Future Academy Award winning Tiana Taylor. Us being strong woman is not by choice. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like to go to set 12 hours a day and be able to just like pour out and cry out loud. Every single we've watched you seen in the movie was real. What's on your mind? I feel like something's on your mind right now. You okay? Yeah. You just went somewhere. Oh no, it's a weird thing. This is something I feel like we're talking about a lot of shit that I never really talk about. You know, being on the front end of things from 15, nobody ever really got to see my struggle. This is Tiana Taylor in real life. I just be trying to survive man and be able to sleep at night. I grew up loving movies. Not knowing that I would eventually like discover a passion for making them. You know what I'm saying? He was so intentioned, like so present. You know what I'm saying? And I don't know if that was just who he was or what he was dealing with. Hollywood is not competitive? Nah, it's a lie. Really? Yeah. Just powering and finding out what you love. Like I found what I loved in a roundabout way. I thank God I was like open to it.
