We were joined on the Popternative show by Nick Kroll (Big Mouth, The League) Andrew Rannells (Girls, A Simple Favor), and Morgan Spector (The Gilded Age, The Mist) to discuss their new horror comedy, I Don’t Understand You. The film premiered in theaters on June 6.
Co-written and co-directed by Brian Crano and David Joseph Craig, I Don’t Understand You also stars Nunzia Schiano (Dogman, Lolita Lobosco), Eleanora Romandini (The White Lotus, Kidnapped), Paolo Romano (All Heart, Brennero), and Amanda Seyfried (Long Bright River, The Dropout).
Nick and Andrew play a couple waiting to adopt a baby and who go on an Italian vacation. “The perfect opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives. Everything is picture-perfect, the epitome of a European babymoon, when things begin to spiral out of control. Lost on the way to dinner, their car gets stuck in a ditch, leaving them stranded in rural nowhere during a torrential downpour. These two Americans, who are used to being catered to, are now in a foreign land with no cell service, zero comprehension of the Italian language, and, as fear takes over, escalating turmoil that could explode at any moment.”
Nick and Andrew discuss bringing together different genres and tones for this film, and Morgan discusses his thoughts when he first read the script and learning a new language and dialect for his role.
Watch the full conversations with Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells, and Morgan Spector below.
