Hes behind many of the funniest movies at the Box Office Like 40 year old virgand super bad. And now hes got a new book. Its callsick in the head, and its about interviewing top comics starting when he was only 15. He chats about what fuels his comedy obsession. Shad and asif kapadia, the director of senna is back with a new doc called amall about the incredible and tragic story of Amy Winehouse. Asif kapadia coming up. Asif kapadia i wasnt particularly shocked when i heard, sadly, when i heard that shed died, it was like, it was going that way. Shad you kind of saw that . Asif yeah, everyone did and yet nobody stopped it. Shad and algiers. Theyre gospel punkrockers who arent afraid to mix politics with contemporary music. They directly address the issues coming out of ferguson and baltimore, america and theyre here to perform from their debut record right here in studio later in the show. Im shad. This q. Ben stone okay, what, do i feed your bear the grass . Okay. I know what your bear would also like to do with some grass, smoke it. [laughs] alison scott what do you think of him . Hes funny, right . Debbie mm hmmm. Ben fetch. All right, bring it back. Debbie hes playing fetch with my kids, treating my kids like theyre dogs. Alison no, hes not. Ben go get it, fetch. Debbie who plays fetch with kids . Alison hes trying. Hes making an effort. Ben all right, bring it back. Debbie hes overweight. Where does that end . How old is he . Alison 23. Debbie looks 33. He can barely get in and out of that little house. Imagine how much bigger hes going to get. That means he has bad genes. Ben oh shad that was a clip from knocked up. Judd apatow was behind that film. He was also behind anchor man, freaks and geeks, bridesmaids, the list goes on and on. Hes one of the defining voices in comedy in the last 15 years. What most people dont know about judd apatow is that he also interviews comics. Hes been doing so since he was 15 years old. And he recently compiled those interviews into a book called, sick in the head. He dropped by studio q to talk about that book and the incredible conversations hes had over the years with comics. Judd apatow in studio q. Hello. Judd its a pleasure to be here. Shad so, i love this book. I like the title of the book a lot. Judd yeah. Shad sick in the head. You talked to so many different comedians, theyre all very unique. Is there a common sickness . Judd you know there are two different of comedians. I think, you know, some are driven by neurosis and pain. Some of them have a lot of rage or some inferiority complex that makes them want to work it out in front of people or get approval. And other comedians are just funny and you spend your whole life going, how come nothings wrong with that guy . Will ferrell is like that. Steve carell is like that. You know people who just seem just smart and sharp and witty, and you can never find the source of it. Shad in your book you say jimmy fallon is that. Judd yes. Shad and the first thing you write about him is, i dont understand this guy. Judd yes, its hard to understand. And then in the interview he talked a lot about how his parents, you know they were irish, and they would throw these parties and they would sing and tell stories. And he was talking about singing around the piano and i thought, i cant even imagine my parents singing and a piano. Like i had a very different experience of childhood, and so then i thought, well maybe thats whthe tonight show is. Its just a version of that party singing around the piano. Shad is that endlessly fascinating to you that people can approach comedy from two very different places . Judd yeah, im always interested in why people do it, why they continue to do it, and what keeps refreshing them, you know, with new ideas and new energy to want to be funny. cause you know sometimes i think, you know, is comedy a great way of expressing our feelings about our lifes journey . And other times i think or is it just another way to avoid being completely honest and sincere . That you need this one filter where you make fun of it all because, you know, you might just be too uncomfortable to just say how it feels. Shad is that part of why you want to be funny . To be larger than life . To be i. I loved comedians. I wanted to be around them. And the only way i could be around them was if i collaborated with them. And so i needed to be good enough to be allowed in these rooms, and to be allowed to make these movies, or to do standup. And that was the goal, was to be in the process with everybody. I didnt think, oh, i hope my movie does really well. I just thought, oh, i hope my movie does well enough so i dont get kicked out of the business cause i wanted to be part of this. Shad ive heard louis ck say the exact same thing, he just wanted to be in the club. Judd yes. Shad how much courage does it take to write your first joke, to take that first joke to being in the club . Judd well, its terrifying. You know when i was a kid i was obsessed with comedians. And my mom was a hostess at a comedy club one summer after my parents got divorced. And i always thought, why would she take that job . Its a terrible job. What could you pay someone to just seat people at a comedy club . And then i thought maybemaybe she did it for me. Maybe she knew i loved comedy and thats the only reason why she took this job. She never said that to me, never intimated it at all, or just cosmically she had a destiny to get me in that room. And so i really wanted to be a comedian, and i wanted to talk to comedians and ask them how to do it. So i started a radio show at my High School Radio station. And the signal barely got out of the parking lot, but i would lie to everyone and say it was a real radio station. And i never said it was a High School Radio station. And that was how i got people like steve allen, and john candy, and martin short to do interviews with me. This is like in 1983, 1984. And it was because i wanted to be a comedian. I was afraid to admit it, but i was doing research to figure out how to do it. And then finally senior year of high school i started going to open mic nights at comedy clubs on long island. And it was hard because when you admit you want to be a comedian its the first step of attempting to do it. And usually youre terrible at it for a few months or years. So you have to say, i want to do this, hey, check me out, oh, by the way, im awful. And you have to be willing to suffer through a period of learning how to do it. Its literally like if somebody handed you a violin. Shad yeah. Judd youre going to be bad for quite some time and you may never play it well. Shad and youyeah, youve gone back to standup. Hows it been . Judd you know its been really, really good. Because when i was a kid i had nothing to say. I had no anger. I had no stories. I had no positions. And now that im 47 years old i have, you know, a lifes worth of experience to turn into standup so its fun. And i have tons to write about and its been really hilarious for me. Shad the journey continues. Thanks, judd. Judd thank you so much. Shad coming up on q a performance from algiers. But first, asif kapadia on the compelling troubled life of Amy Winehouse. Asif its like something that you do a bit of homework and you go, every single song is telling us, like another chapter in her life. Following the conversations and the research i found myself sitting in a room talking to nick going, oh, that songs about you. [theme] life as spokesbox is great. People love me for saving them over half a grand when they switch to progressive. So im dabbling in new ventures. It was boardgame night with the dalai lama. Great guy. Terrible player. Go paperless dont stress, girl i got the discounts that you need its a balancing act, but i got to give the people what they want more box. Any words for the critics . What can i say . Critties gonna neg. [ applause ] the what . [ laughs ] woman she was a highly intelligent, the most competitive person i knew. Man she was so awfully authentic. Man amy, give us a smile and then we can turn the camera off. Amy you promise . Man she had such an emotional relationship with music. Man and becoming an artist in the public eye. Amy the more people see of me the more theyll realize that all im good for is making music. Announcer and the grammy goes to Amy Winehouse man she was one of the truest artists that i ever heard. Man the world wanted a piece of her. Shad she was the leader of the old soul revival in the u. K. In the mid2000s until her life was cut short. Amy winehouse died of alcohol poisoning at the age of 27. Director asif kapadia got rare access to those closest to Amy Winehouse, the people who knew her best. And he made a new documentary film simply called amy. Asif kapadia dropped by studio q to tell us all about it. Hello. Asif hi there. Shad so youve talked about the secret to making a good documentary being finding a good character. What drew you to Amy Winehouse . Asif when i got a call from my producer on senna, jamesjames garice he said, look, ive been offered this opportunity by universal music and they said, would you be interested in making a film of Amy Winehouse . He said, what do you think . And i thought about it. I knew she was a good singer. I knew about the music. I had the records. She was a local girl, theres something about that. But there were a lot of questions. Really i think for a good subject you need questions that you want to answer. For me, i didnt really understand why the ending happened, how did it transpire that she was on stage in that state . Why did no one stop it . What was going on . What was this long drawn out thing going on . I wasnt particularly shocked when i heard, sadly, when i heard that she died, it was like it was going that way. Shad you kind of saw that . Asif yeah, everyone did and yet nobody stopped it. So there was that element. And then i just had a gut instinct that this film said something about my city, where i live, the area that i live, the city, and the world that we live in now, that we all somehow seemed a part of this. It was an instinct really. And then you just have to have enough questions that you want to answer. And then we start the research process. Shad you spoke to all these people, her exhusband. And ive read you say that gaining these Peoples Trust was your biggest job as a director. Asif yeah. Shad how did you do it . Asif really the first person that kind of opened the door was her first manager, nick shymansky, whos like a mate. He was only a couple of years older than her. And he was an a r guy who kind of ended up becoming like a pseudo manager. And nick, interestingly enough, nick had seen my previous film, senna, had liked it, and had said walking out of the cinema, you know, wouldnt it be great if one day, one day, someone made a film like that about amy. A year later i call him up and he says, im really annoyed that youre calling me, one cause i really the film, but two, cause this is too soon, and i dont want anyone making a film. Its too painful still. But i just said, lets just meet for a coffee. And we met and we started to talk. And i think once we started to talk he kind of understood where i was coming from. I invited him into the edit suite where we were working, just a few of us in the room, kind of ordinary people. Its not the big studio film or anything. On the wall we had lots of postit notes and bits of paper of just trying to work out who was who, trying to figure out the story. And like nick only recently told me that was really a key point for him, cause it looked like wed put in the work. It was like, you know, a bad cop movie and we have a motel room with all the lines drawn over here and everything trying to connect up who did what. Well it was exactly that kind of thing, a visual reference to the story. And he said, no ones every connected the dots before. And he could tell that already, without knowing anything, wed done more work than anyone that had written about amy previously. So he started to talk. And once he started to talk he couldnt stop cause he had so much to get off his chest. Shad and what did you discover about the role that the people around her played in her downfall . Asif i wouldnt say that not everybody played a part in the downfall. I mean what happened was theythey were all friends that were around her. They could see it happening. I mean she played a part in her own story. You know, she was key. She fell in love with some person. She wanted to be like a certain person. She made a lot of decisions. But what happened is as things get more and more complex and she gets more and more famous i think the fame just got so big, and like youre on a particular mission. Youve got to keep going. You got to keep promoting this record because its huge. Its like one of the biggest records in the world. You dont stop touring at that point. And thats what happened. It was like a lot of performances, a lot of shows. Just kind of milk it while its good. And somewhere along the way other things start happening like her grandmother died. And you know, just personal things are going on, which then start to get to the point where it feels like people are making decisions which are just blatantly not so really the best for amy anymore. Shad mm hmm. But there does seem to be these Pivotal Moments like her exhusband gets her into crack cocaine. Her father chooses not to take her to rehab as we all know in the song. There does seem to be these pivotal movements. Asif yeah, there are a lot of them. Shad yeah. Asif thats the thing, there are a lot of those moments. There are a lot of opportunities. There are a lot of Pivotal Moments which happen and then they just add on top of the last one and the last one. Because right from the beginning, you know, we learn from her mother that she had bulimia at a very young age. You know we know that shes got a drink problem. We know that she tells us shes got depression. So theres all of these things already lying latent that shes somehow managing. Nick would say shed talk about having kind of dark periods, like literally having to go and sit on her own somewhere because she had like a mood or a darkness about her. There are issues to do with selfesteem. Whenever you see her, even when shes happy in the earlier years and shes talking to herself on camera, every time she sees herself shell comment on how i look ugly, i look terrible, i look hideous. You know theres just an issue about the way she saw herself. Thats already there long before she meets this guy blake, long before Everything Else starts happening. It just multiplies and multiplies, multiplies. Shad did you feel like you got a glimpse into how these things happened generally . Because there are Amy Winehouses in everyones life, right . Asif yeah. Shad and we let these little cues slip by us and we enable in these small ways. Did you feel like you got a glimpse into that . Asif yeah, i think what you find is its really complicated. You know like its not like a bad movie that just says, oh, thats the turning point in their life, if only we could rewind that. When actually everything that happens, and everyone that shes dealing with has obviously got their own personal experiences in it, it all just comes together. Man how big do you think youre going to be . Amy i dont, at all. Because, you know, my music is not on that scale. The music is not on that scale. Sometimes i wish it was but i dont think im going to be at all famous. I dont think i could handle it. Id probably go mad. You know i mean i would go mad. Shad now earlier i mentioned this doc explores our complicity in amys downfall. The lyricslyrics are used a lot in this film. The lyrics for rehab in particular you mentioned earlier. This is a song we all partied to. It was a massive hit song. And its a detailed story of a Pivotal Moment in her life that could have changed her life for the better, could have saved her life. Why did you want to reveal that . Asif well, its just one of those things where, again, following the conversations and the research i find myself sitting in a room talking to nick going, oh, that songs about you. Youreyoure that guy that tried toactually, there was an incident where he tried to take her to rehab and she then said, ll go if, you know, my dad thinks i need to go. And then she talks to her dad and that all happened. Stronger than me is based on the real guy that sheslike i need you to be stronger than me. And that like sums up a chunk of her life. Love is a losing game kind of sums up, sadly, her whole live. What is it about men, she wrote really early on. Its likei mean its all there. Its like suddenly you do a bit of homework and you go, every single song is telling me, its like another chapter in her life. Its almost like amy knew whats going on. She was able to express it through lyrics. And then it became a songs. But then when it became a song it becomes something else. And you know we just werent paying attention. Shad and in terms of our complicity we were raising a glass to it, right . Asif you know the irony is notits not funny is it . Shad yeah. Asif not only that, people were dancing and making her sing the song, which really for me when you look at it now, its like a massive cry for help. Shad awesome again. A very powerful film. Thanks so much for being here. Asif thanks a lot. Shad still to come on q algiers perform their special blend of punk rock and gospel. It appears. Is that a dark spot .
