Hey, I'm Peter Rubin

And I'm Kelli Rubin

And if you watch this show for Crosby the dog,

he's not here this week.

Nope, but this is still Split Screen

Because there's always more than one side to every story

And every movie

And every game

And every TV show

Or television event.

Television event?

[Peter] Like, Wayward Pines, which started

last night on FOX and it's this very creepy thing

and it's got Terrence Howard as the sheriff

of this creepy town and you

seem creeped out right now.

Yeah, so Best Man is one of my favorite movies

and he was my favorite thing from that movie

He's great

And I said, Oh my gosh, I love Terrence Howard,

but then every other thing that I learned about

Terrence Howard: the things that supposedly go on

in his personal life, his attitudes towards women,

all of those things go and taint

my viewership of all of his work.

So there's like a big, swirling mass of

some real, some performative things but they

have all colored your view when you see him in a role.

Yes

Sometimes, if all I know of somebody is the characters

or even the archetypes of the characters they play,

I tend to associate those with the performer themselves.

Like--

Oh, I see what you're saying.

Jenny, Jenny Slate, right?

Yeah

So you knew her on Parks and Rec as John-Ralphio's sister

and she always plays someone who's either really selfish

or just hubristic or whiny or whatever

And she is so good at it.

She's great at it and this, of course,

is because of her comedy chops but,

in my tiny pea-sized brain, I'm like

oh, that's who she really must be--

Right

I don't like her. (Kelli laughing)

and it wasn't until she was in Obvious Child

last year and I got a chance to hear her being herself

on talk shows and on podcasts--

Yeah

Where I realized how unfair I had been being

and now, I'm like, super fan.

So, it's like, yeah, seeing her three-dimensionally

helped in that regard.

Yes.

But often, for me, it makes it worse.

Yeah, and I think we just have so many more

opportunities to see candor and it can cut both ways.

One way for you, another way for me but,

no, I think you're absolutely right.

With social media and so many more opportunities

for us to see celebrities being kind of

candid or unvarnished,

there's just a thousand ways for them to show their ass.

Yes, and a thousand ways to be offended.

And Terrence Howard found the perfect way to offend you.

That's right.

But we hope you're not offended by Split Screen.

Why would you be?

We're innocuous.

We hope you'll stick around, see us next week.

Bye.
