“At the end of the day, I’d rather make stuff period than make stuff how I want to make stuff.
And specific to us, I’d rather make stuff together even than stuff alone.”
- Evan Goldberg
My guests this week are the comedy duo Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
You've probably heard of their movies Pineapple Express, This Is The End, Neighbors, Superbad, Sausage Party, and most recently Good Boys. They’ve also ventured into the entrepreneurial space with their own cannabis brand, Houseplant.
I’ve known these guys are a while, and have had the pleasure of working with them on 50/50 and The Night Before. Seth and Evan are unique in that they do a vast majority of their creative work as a duo.
Because of this, I thought they would make the perfect pair for this week’s question.
For this episode, Seth, Evan and I discussed a question from Pretince Martin Southwell from Springfield Illinois.
Pretince asked, “Have you had people you didn’t get along with personally turn out to be good to work with professionally, or vice versa?”
We talked about the origin story of how Seth and Evan’s working relationship began, how their dynamic changes when they work with or involve other people, how they navigate disagreements, and we even debated the existence of extraterrestrial life.
