Relatively little of it's about Good Omens -- though a fair chunk of it is Sheen's Neil Gaiman stories, which are amazing. But it's honestly one of the most fascinating interviews I've heard in a while, and they go deep into acting process, among many other things. And it sounds like two people who know and like each other having a genuine conversation, which is a rare and nice thing in an interview.
(Content note: they discuss experiences of stage fright and blanking on stage in a way which is liable to give anyone with anxiety the vicarious horrors in sympathy.)
I actually have a very poor visual memory, so I have to spend a lot of time scrolling through scenes in microscopic detail - rather than just going 'oh, I know he smiles in that scene in ep 3' and going straight to it.
Huh, that's fascinating. Not what I would have imagined at all -- I'd have assumed without thinking that good vidders must have excellent visual memories -- but it makes total sense now you've said it.
I have actually visited that church!!
Likewise; it's so lovely.
*I'M* embarrassed by how long it's taken me to reply to you each time, but that is because I am a human disaster who is not very good at dealing with compliments and need to work up the courage to look at them
Completely understood, no stress! My personal failure mode tends to be "Oh wow, this person has written me a long and thoughtful comment, I will put it to one side until I have the mental energy to write them an equally thoughtful reply, oops it's been two months."
But FWIW, one of the things I love about formats like DW is not having to have conversations in real-time, and I love it when people reply to something I've said weeks or months after it was posted: the conversation can keep meandering on in its own time! it's great!
