In every young man’s life, the moment he experiences comes at some point what the name Pearl Jam means. It was time for the Oscar-nominated actor Austin Butler when he was with his “Caight Stealing” CO actress Zoë Kravitz A nineties-trivia player played.
Trivia, shots and nineties-vibes
“It’s sperm, age,” explains Kravitz dryly in a new video for the Rolling Stone. (As moderator David Fear, film critic of the magazine, notes, there is also the legend that “Pearl Jam” was a hallucinogenic brewed with Peyote that is said to have brewed Eddie Vedder’s great -grandmother. Here the real story.)
The Pearl-Jam/Sperm/Peyote Discussion arises from an initial question to Grunge front men. The game itself is inspired by Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming film “Caugh Stealing”. A crime thriller via an burned-out ex-baseball player (Butler) who gets into the criminal underground of the New York in the nineties.
Between questions about nineties icons such as “Friends”, “Space Jam”, “Beavis and ButtHead,” the Spice Girls and Sir Mix-A-Lot-in which Kravitz collects many points and Butler tilts many shots-they also talk about working on “Caugh Stealing”. They tell which nineties artists heard them on the set. Portishead, Massive Attack, Björk, Radiohead, Alanis Morissette. Butler remembers his role training as a bartender. Both rave about working with co-star Bad Bunny.
Praise for Bad Bunny and New York memories
“He surprised me how funny he was,” says Butler. “He was prepared. And he was available for everything.”
“And he takes risks,” adds Kravitz. “He made a real character decisions. What is brave.”
Both also share formative memories of New York City. Kravitz remembers how she crept out of high school during the lunch break to smoke grass in the Central Park, and the punk shops on the St. Marks Place. “When St. Marks was not a pinkberry,” as she jokes.
Butler tells of his move to NYC just before Hurricane Sandy and how his neighborhood gave two weeks together without electricity. “It was moving to feel the energy of New York and how the city came together in such moments. People gave each other food. Restaurants had to cook because the refrigerators didn’t work. We made barbecues on the street, and I felt welcomed by New York at the time.”
