'I watch the news, I see the airports packed with people saying, 'Well, I haven’t seen my mother, you know, for 10 months.' I think, 'So what?' The unfortunate thing is we have to live in the same world with these morons' - Fran Lebowitz to MeredithBlake

I loved the movie, and I loved making the movie. Every time I was editing the film, I still had the same reaction each time, to every story, every line. All the inflections, the tone, the dialogue, the music. I became very entranced by the form of it. I said, “Well, why don’t we do this again? It’d be great to have a running commentary every week, so to speak.” We tried a couple of things. Fran, you came up with the idea, ultimately, of the title and what it means.

You have both lived through numerous difficult periods in the history of the city. How do you think the pandemic has changed it?Of course, it’s completely changed. But “change” is probably not the right way to put it, because change implies “and now it’s this.” It’s in flux. It’s not gonna stay the way it is now, because the way it is now is different than it was last week and certainly different than it was the beginning of shutdown.

in New York than someone who would do that. It is so dopey. People who say New York is not going to be the center of the culture anymore, I would say, “Really, where do you think it will be? Do you think it’s gonna be Sarasota? Omaha? Honey, it’s gonna be here.” By the way, not everything was perfect before the virus. It was perfect from the point of view of no fatal virus. That was definitely much better. But there might be things that improve.: I come from the Lower East Side. Elizabeth Street, just between Houston and Prince off of the Bowery. And back in 1950, you couldn’t tell me that those buildings would still be there 70 years later, and the neighborhood would become rather chic. My building that I lived in is still there.
