I'm here to talk about Rampart.

John: Yeah I guess I was pretty f-ing horny when I was a teenager and that's the experience I was drawing upon as an actor.

Justin: How did it feel by the way? because I remember when we were shopping for franks and we started making Better Luck Tomorrow you were the MILF guy.

John: Yeah it was so weird -

Justin: American Pie

John: I do remember being like - oh! I was out of the country when that movie was released. And when I came back people were just like shouting "MILF" at me and I was very confused for a few days. Because I...I didn't make that connection. And that movie was so big, I mean I had a line in the movie and I was famous for that line and it was very bizarre. And I always say that being recognized for that movie let me know that fame wasn't all it's cracked up to be early on.

John: It feels like one in a million, in terms of these alternate timelines (I've been thinking a lot about alternate timelines lately), that it would happen this way. It's bazaar and special feeling to get started with someone, then watch them take over the world, and then come back together and not just work together but work together on something meaningful. That's the weirdest twist in this strange tale and it was an honor.

Justin: Yeah, very much an honor. I remember just starting off, working with John, back then there weren't a lot of opportunities for Asian Americans, especially on screen. As my career progressed I would sit in on auditions and it was very clear to me that it was an issue of opportunity. I knew the talent was there. In the last 15 years I remember moments, I was in the Dallas airport when I found out that John was gonna be Sulu and I was so happy. It was really cool, I remember getting that call from JJ and deciding to do Trek. I just couldn't wait to meet up. It's been great to work with someone but at the same time be a fan from afar. To know that he always had it but just seeing him grow. That's the thing that I really enjoy, the fact that it's been a decade and a half and to see John grow and know that there is still a lot in the tank. It's definitely very emotional.

Justin: I can 100% confirm that the people that I work with in post editing editorial are definitely the best in the world. The only thing they're a little weak on is consuming fast food with me late at night. Like they all puss out at some point.

I could answer with certainty that John Cho would fall first. Who would be the last man standing? I want to say Sulu is a winner. I think he is super ambitious, resourceful, and trained in a lot of things. I feel like he has a skill set, Starfleet is obviously a military but he has a lot of combat experience, plus he's got scientific know how...I'm going with Sulu.
