Thanks to Marie for this exclusive file during a live press conference with Josh during his promotion of BOBBY.  Marie has provided a small synopsis of what's going on and when she cuts into asking her own questions to Josh.

 

1) The quality is not super, it's okay and definitely listenable, but there is this weird whirring noise in the background that sounds a lot like a tape rewinding. But it's only intermittent.

2) I cut out some of my worst bits. Sorry I just had to do it. Essentially I only ask one question (it's the one on the contradictions in the type of Americanness in Wade Buckley's character which perhaps shadows Kennedy's own).

(i) I have cut half of the question, so it might not make entire sense when you do listen to it.. Why i cut it is because I go on too long and I don't properly make my point and so Josh only answers half of it.
So the bit of the missing question is:
you have an Americanness that is progressive in i.e. Kennedy's black civil rights legacy which is perhaps reflected in Wade Buckley's relationship with Dwayne (Nick Cannon) but you also have an America that is closed minded and intolerant i.e. Wade's initial interaction with the Czech journalist ("Communist socialist, it's all the same"). Can you comment on that?
Unfortunately what I do actually say is embarrassingly waffly, which is why I cut out!

(ii) Sadly I haven't cut out the bit where I make the "white-man-in-Africa film" comment. It's not that I shouldn't have said it, it just that I'm a bit frustrated that I was so ineloquent! But Josh, being the smart guy that he is, gets the gist of what I'm saying. In this bit, you can hear my voice shake a bit and really, when I pause and stammer it's because my mind has gone blank and those blue eyes are staring me down!
What I mean to say but don't say is something like: (on Christian Slater's character) But don't you think there is a real clichéd Hollywoodisation of certain race issues, as exemplified by some recent "white-man-in-Africa films" which only serve as models of redemption for those characters.
Then he proceeds to disagree with me and the films I mention (though I must say I utterly disagree with him here, particularly Blood Diamond which is all about redeeming the LDC character)
