This episode features a dynamic duo. Seth Rogen (@SethRogen) is
an actor, writer, producer,
and director. Evan Goldberg (@EvanDGoldberg)
is a Canadian director, screenwriter,
and producer. Together, they get into a lot of mischief and
create amazing comedy. They’ve collaborated on films such as
Superbad (which they first conceived
as teenagers), Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, The Green Hornet,
and Funny People. They have
also written for “Da Ali G Show” and “The Simpsons.”
In 2013, Evan and Seth
released their directorial debut, This Is the End. In
2014, Seth starred in and produced (alongside
Evan) Neighbors, which was a worldwide comedy hit and
has taken in more than $268 million worldwide.
In December
2014, Rogen and Goldberg’s film,
The Interview, became the
most-talked-about news story around the world. Under
extremely difficult circumstances, the film persevered to become
Sony Pictures' #1 digital title of all time. Neighbors 2 is
shooting now and will be released next May. Seth and Evan are
also in production on Sausage Party, a raunchy animated movie for
adults about one sausage's quest to discover the truth about his
existence. Seth and Evan are producing the film with Megan
Ellison and Conrad Vernon. In our conversation, we discuss all
manner of tactics and silliness, including: Kyokushin karate
