JUSTIN BIEBER SNL MOTHER LOAD MOVIE
Kelly: When you are casting a TV show it’s a little different than a movie because if this goes on for a couple of years, you really want the people you’re casting to be good actors, but you also want to want to see them at work. It’s very rare that you work with someone, who could be like such an a–hole based on their talent level, and isn’t. How integral is former “SNL” cast member Molly Shannon, who plays the siblings’ mother, to the show and the process? So all we can do is be like, “We like this and we think it’s good.” I hope people like it but we try not to get bogged down with expectations or anything like that. Kelly: I don’t think about pressure so much as - this is going to be cheesy, but I just really trust Sarah and I think she trusts me. Is there any pressure that comes with doing your first show together, post “SNL”?
Schneider: We went into it consciously with that thought, but we also loved writing stuff that just felt topical and political in a completely different way and so we couldn’t help ourselves with bringing up some things that felt timely, about sexuality, about identity. Is it a relief not to talk politics on this show, versus on “SNL”?
JUSTIN BIEBER SNL MOTHER LOAD FULL
We just added this dumb pop culture celebrity fame on top of it, like how would these real dramas change because he’s famous? Chase in Episode 4 releases a song about Cary being gay and it’s just called “My Brother’s Gay And That’s OK” and he says Cary’s full name, he says “My brother Cary Dubek is gay.” That song forces him to deal with things that he had never really dealt with, faster. Kelly: If Chase wasn’t in the show, all of these characters would still be having to go through the same things - like Cary would still be trying to figure out his identity. But we also think it’s insane and dumb and crazy because we’re old and don’t understand it.īeyond satire, how deeply do you explore heavier things such as both adult siblings’ struggling careers? We like showing both sides, that that world is insane and dumb and crazy. A lot of them have empires they have a brand. There is a full parallel entertainment industry of people that we’ve never heard of and they’ve never heard of us, but they have millions of followers. Kelly: We wanted to make fun of it a little bit, but we also wanted to legitimize it. Schneider: Yeah … we definitely deep dove into it. Have you watched musical.ly or TikTok videos for research? Schneider: It almost never feels authentic, it always feels like “Okay, well the response we’re getting from people is that you’re a little too risque now, so we should pull it back.” Or Taylor Swift’s songs are all about being in love and breakups, so that’s what I have to do, even though I’m 9-years-old and that’s a completely foreign concept, where I’m emulating these adult ideas. Now he’s doing a socially conscious song. So we do that in the show, where it’s like: He’s sweet now. Kelly: Watching any pop culture celebrity or any celebrity, you can see their phases as an artist, and you can tell there’s a team behind that. How much did you want to use this show to comment on the entertainment industry, such as the sexualization of teen stars? In the pilot he’s a sweet kid and then from that day on he never makes a single decision himself. So we put that into the show a little bit. That egg joke made us think about like, “Oh poor Justin Bieber.” He is one boy that an entire team of people is moving around the world and telling him what to do and when to eat and what to wear, so that got our brains churning. Other than that exact specific, we don’t really think that Chase Dreams is supposed to be like Justin Bieber or his manager is supposed to be Scooter Braun. Kelly: That specific one-liner, we stole that. There’s a scene involving eggs that was inspired by your own interaction with Justin Bieber’s manager at “SNL.” How much of Bieber or real pop stars do you draw from on the show?
