It's a bit of a spoiler in the title. It's true. But in a lot of ways, it's your classic, you know, unicorn horror comedy. Yeah, right? Just your run-of-the-mill, yeah, unicorn horror comedy.

Oh, my God. That's been this entire, like, press campaign, is, like, unicorn blood for Paul. But, no, I mean, no, truly, these things, I mean, because there were a lot of practical effects, which is, I think, what are people going to, you know...

Well, you know, they built them. They built the unicorns. They looked cool. They looked like they were real. But they were huge in these massive set pieces that were just so cool to look at. And it's kind of a throwback to like Jim Henson in like 80s and 90s movies.

Listen, it's still early in the year, so who knows really what's going to happen.

1222.355

You know, funnily enough, it's pretty much just listening. What? Yeah, it's just listening. Say that again. I know, I know, truly, it's just listening. It's just a lot of showing. I mean, you know, need to know all the beats. You actually have to kind of know what's going on more because you don't have any lines to kind of fill fill things with, fill the moments with.

So instead, you kind of have to be really paying attention, listening, and knowing what's up.

My character was supposed to be killed off in the first episode. And, yeah, like, my character gets shot. Sorry, spoiler from, like, eight years ago. Yeah, come on, stream it, you guys. Catch up. But, yeah, then Bill just decided, you know, after I was shot, you know, because it was in a car, he was just like, just open the car door and fall out. Really?

So he opened a literal door for me to survive.

1300.872

I guess so. I don't know. He just liked my goofy accent and what I was doing, so... You hide behind goofy accents. I sure do. Yeah, we're really kind of coming to the crux of it.

1314.363

No, no, which is a big surprise to a lot of people. You even throw a Scottish accent in Death of a Unicorn? I sure did. Yes, I sure did. I mean, I auditioned with it, and then it was like months until I got the call to come do it, only at which point I realized, oh, no, my God. I have to now do a Scottish accent. Like, what am I going to do? What are you hiding from? Yeah, truly.

1336.241

Yeah, just, I don't know. I'm from Massachusetts, and maybe at some point, you know, yeah, I'll do the mass accent.

Probably, yeah, probably, you know. Yeah.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

DOGE Protestors Turn on Tesla & Astronauts Make It Home | Anthony Carrigan

1355.457

That's right. Right? Yes, yeah. Ooh. You are Metamorpho, is that correct? Yeah, I play a character named Metamorpho. And I feel like I've already talked too much about the movie because it's so top secret. But honestly, it was such a blast to work on. James Gunn is just a phenomenal director.

And even though it was just this massive movie, it really did feel like really small and intimate and like we were doing something really special. Had a lot of heart.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

DOGE Protestors Turn on Tesla & Astronauts Make It Home | Anthony Carrigan

1395.559

Yeah, there's that. That was pretty much it. I think the... I try to find just kind of some level of pathos in whatever character I'm playing. Yeah. Pathos. Pathos. Pathos draws you to it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just trying to find the humanity in whatever person I'm playing. That and an accent, you know? Yeah.
