“I fear that it's going to take a Hiroshima Nagasaki type event for everybody to wake up. And I fear that that will be the reckoning for us to find accountability. But clearly, these people elude accountability and deflect accountability and are, in a sense, post-accountability.”

I shouldn't have the last word in this interview, so we should give it back to Aaron. But, you know, I don't have a great answer to that. You know, I mean, perhaps this film is a form of that reckoning, you know, a cultural reckoning. I fear that it's going to take a Hiroshima Nagasaki type event for everybody to wake up. And I fear that that will be the reckoning for us to find accountability. But clearly, these people elude accountability and deflect accountability and are, in a sense, post-accountability. You know, I played Donald Trump's mentor in a film a few years ago who was sort of the progenitor of fake news and misinformation and had no conscience whatsoever and no shame. And we see everything he believed in coded in everything our president does. And so a lot of these things have been with us before social media and are endemic to us as human beings. But I fear that the reckoning, unfortunately, might be a catastrophic event that is brought about by this Promethean fire that we are all really unwisely playing with.
