I'm pro football Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins and I live for a long time with something I did not know the name of major depressive disorder. I carry sadness and anger because I thought I could handle it alone, but I couldn't. Now I want to make sure others know that that support is out there. If you're experiencing similar symptoms, talk to a health care professional. Visit MDDLIs.com to watch my story. Paid partnership with Johnson & Johnson, Brian Dawkins has not prescribed capillata luma tepyrone. I needed more from my antidepressant, so my doctor added capillata luma tepyrone, proven to provide greater relief from depression symptoms than an antidepressant alone, building on my progress without starting over. Capillata is for adults with major depressive disorder when used with an antidepressant and is available by prescription only. Individual results may vary. In clinical trials, weight gain was not common. Elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. Capillata is not approved for dementia-related psychosis. Call your doctor about new or sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. Antidepressants may increase these risks. Report fever, confusion, stiff muscles, which may be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. High cholesterol and weight gain may occur, as can high blood sugar, which may be fatal. Monitoring is recommended. Common side effects are sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth feeling tired, and diarrhea. These aren't all the side effects. Ask your doctor about capillata.

I am such a fan of her work, and we are going to get into it today. We're going to talk about opera. We're going to talk about musical theater. We're going to talk about how to do a good Boston accent, and we're going to hear how Al Pacino made her cry in a good way. It's a great convo, and I can't wait to get started, but before we do, we always talk to somebody who knows our guest and has a question to ask our guest. Joining me today is a director of the film Eternity, a film that Dave Vine is in, and I believe he is calling from another country. He's zooming from another country, another time zone. David, can you hear us? This episode is brought to you by Zoom. Many of us have been there. The calls were you zone out for one second and miss six key points. The quick check-ins that are anything but quick, because here's the thing. Every conversation creates work. With Zoom, though, the conversation itself can actually move work forward. Zoom is now a full system of action that can actually complete work from the context of your existing meetings, calls, and chats. No more post-call panic. No more inbox avalanche. You talked about it. Zoom got it done. Visit zoomahead.com to learn more. Hello? Hi, how are you? Hi, so nice to meet you. So good to meet you. We're talking to Dave Vine today. It's fun because Dave and I have to say, it's one of, I really don't know very much about her we've never met. We have friends in common and people in common, but I've only watched her as a fan and watched her stuff. I'm interested to get to know her today and to talk about her today. Before we do that, I just wanted to say congratulations on your film. Thank you. I'm always looking for comedy in theaters and in film. It's been not to be very honest, not always the easiest genre of the last decade to get good things out in the world. Comedy is music. It's so subjective. People have big, strong opinions about it. Where were your comedic influences? When you started writing and directing, who were you looking to at the time? I grew up loving Billy Wilder was my idol. Then 30 Rock and Parks and Rec and those great iconic TV comedies where you get such a high joke rate per minute, which I think we don't get very often. I always looked at that and I think with eternity, we wanted to make sure it was laid down with jokes, just like joke after joke after joke. I miss really hard comedy. I think that's going to Dave Vine and my incredible cast. You can write as good a script as you want, but that's the delivery. That's the actors. Some of the best dramatic actors in the world cannot land a joke. I think that holy grail is fair. You can't do it all.
