Spree director and co-writer Eugene Kotlyarenko says there's thing we all have in common: "We wake up in the morning, and we kind of look at our phones first thing to see if we got any notifications, any sort of news that could be pertinent to how much people care about us, right? It’s the perfect sort of like narcissism-like reflection machine. And it gives us dopamine hits we need to make us feel loved.”Spree examines the extreme lengths some of us will go to in search of that love — while mocking lead character Kurt (Joe Keery) for his attempts to impose his narrative on everyone around him, especially a successful comedian named Jessie (Sasheer Zamata.)We also talk about critics getting it wrong, Paul Verhoeven, and lone-wolf shooters with dumb manifestos.
