It's cool cuz South by's always unleashing like new things. They unleash, you know, Twitter a couple years ago. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Do you guys know what the new thing's going to be this year?

We do have a sneak peak actually. Our friends hooked us up. It's actually kind of cool. Really? Can't give it be too much, but Wow. No one has this yet. What?

RJ here. We are continuing our coverage of South by Southwest. We're still at the four seasons, and there's actually a lake like at the hotel, which is kind of crazy.

With ducks.

With ducks. You don't see that every day. With Katherine Hardwick, one of like the biggest directors and like you are the young Hollywood director. I mean you really are though. When you think about what young Hollywood's all about, it's like Twilight. That is like the young Hollywood movie, and you just continue to keep doing it. I mean she's discovered everybody from Emil Hirsch, Robert Pattinson. I mean Taylor Lautner. This kind of fun. So when your your hometown here, Texas. I know. Austin, I'm never been. Oh, isn't it beautiful? It's amazing. And you're like in the Austin Hall of Fame or something.

I'm in I'm in the Texas Hall of Fame.

So what is that exactly? What does that mean the Texas Hall of Fame?

Uh, well, they have like all the different filmmakers that have come from Texas. It's kind of fun. It's like a lot of cowboys and a few cowgirls.

That's pretty cool to be in the Hall of Fame. So South by Southwest. Any particular technology you're liking?

I haven't done a movie like on the red yet. I haven't done a high-def film. So I'm dying to do that sometime. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And it's cool cuz South by's always unleashing like new things. They unleash, you know, Twitter a couple years ago. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Do you guys know what the new thing's going to be this year?

We do have a sneak peek actually. Our friends hooked us up. It's actually kind of cool. Really? Can't give it be too much, but Wow. No one has this yet. That looks pretty rad. Okay. Okay. Okay. It's actually really cool. Very high tech. I like it. Very, very high tech. That's what it's all about. That's the the top secret item for this year's South by Southwest is the playbook.

Since this is your hometown, if you were to like create a playbook of like three things you have to do when you're in Austin. What are three things you absolutely have to do?

Okay, well, right here, we're right near the bridge where the bats come out. I I guess when they built that bridge, they didn't know that the little cracks in the concrete are the exact size that bats like to hide in. And so every night, I think it's 750,000 bats fly out of there when the sun goes down. Barton Springs, have you heard about that? Oh my God, it's like this cold this pool that's all like cold springs come out. Everybody hangs out topless. You know, you'll love it. Okay. To doesn't suck. Okay. South Congress, you know, like the super cool funky like food trucks and all that. But the state Capitol. And UT. UT.

That's like five things, Katherine. You're supposed to give me three for the play. You five. All right. We got a lot to do in Austin now. We got to talk Red Riding Hood. I mean that's like that's a classic. What are you doing? My grandmother's coming for me. Don't come near me. Do you think I'm the wolf? You're talking about making it cool though. You would even turn something like Red Riding Hood, you wouldn't think was cool, and you figured out a way like I mean you get Leonardo DiCaprio as as a producer, which is kind of a cool thing to do. Yeah. All the cool things to do. What is his idea?

From the beginning. It was his idea.

Get out of here.

To put the werewolf back in Red Riding Hood. Because the old versions, even before the Brothers Grimm, it was a werewolf. So by adding that, it adds a layer of like a shapeshifter that somebody is the murderer. There's a mystery.

Katherine Hardwick, thank you for hanging out with us. Yeah. You've got to love this. Oh my God, it's beautiful. I see why she keeps coming back and back to Texas.
