![]() It was just Sam and Cait just with the cameras rolling. Vartholomeos: Well, that was the last day of shooting. Did you get to know each other a little bit before you shot that or was that the first thing you filmed? ![]() The first scene in the show features the two of you in a very intimate situation.

But once I got my nails done, it was actually pretty easy. We’ll let the f*cking New Yorkers decide. Vartholomeos: She did it all day, 24/7, this girl was in her New York accent. Stasey: And I had to do the opposite, where I couldn't speak in my own accent the almost entire time we were filming, even off set, because I was too scared I would lose it. Everything was heavier, everything was bigger, everything was just so gritty. But yeah, just feeling how things work, you feel the clunkiness of it, the doors, the heaviness. And not having a clicker for your car or a remote, having to use a key for every single opening. Really feeling the shutter and feeling all the little dials and focus. Vartholomeos: I got to use a really, really old camera, and it's something dad tells to get out from his Navy chest, and it's not particularly from the '80s, but just holding something so mechanical is so comfortable. I always think of the '80s and '70s and '60s being very primitive, but you did put a man on the moon in the '60s, right? So pretty cool. I was like, "Are you sure? This doesn't look - Okay." I was convinced that that was of a different decade. Stasey: I didn't know they even had those in the '80s. What about using those props? The rotary phones and Jill, at one point, uses one of those brick phones.

Also, everything I've been in is so low budget, they can't afford good music, so this has been really nice. ![]() And I don't think you ever really get used to it, or at least I don't. There's memes about imagining you're the star of a show and a sad song is playing or a happy song is playing, so when it's actually your life, it's surreal. It's something that all people dream about. And so it might sound simplistic, but it's cool to be a part of something and see your face onscreen, and there's a song playing that you really love, and it's like your feelings. I think we're seeing some things that definitely are, I think we're launching into new territories all the time, but the '80, music-wise, is one of my favorite decades. I'm obsessed with fashion, and that's something I have in common with Jill, and I think that that period - barring the shoulder pads and the crazy makeup and the crimped hair - there's some very, very essential pieces to come out of the '80s that I'm a huge fan of.Īnd not to be cynical, I think that a lot of amazing art is made now, I think a lot of amazing music is made now, but it isn't the first of its kind necessarily. But every stage of the '80s is very different. It was sort of like when America was at its most fist-pumping it's ever been. But yeah, I mean, the '80s is such a romanticized period, isn't it? Everything is set in the '80s I feel like. I mean, I was born in the '90s - I won't tell you which one. And doing a New York story with a New York guy like Ed Burns, just that was the ticket.ĭid you go in having any sense of New York in the '80s, because it is very specific? Cait and I have multiple phone calls together and just holding that and working that rotary phone. But they were the bands back then." And looking at all the technology or lack thereof. Walking into my room the first day, Jimmy's room, and seeing all the posters on the wall, and just you're like, "Oh, man. And being in New York in that time period was really cool. Sam Vartholomeos: Yeah, I think the time period was really attractive to me. I don't want to film anything about the current situation, so that was a massive appeal. And it was set in the '80s, I'm excited to be part of a period piece. I think that he gives them kind of this interesting outline and then lets you sort of fill in the texture. I also just like the way that Ed writes people.

In an interview, Vartholomeos and Stasey spoke to CBR about what they loved about shooting a show that centered on '80s Long Islanders, using all those period props and how COVID changed how they filmed their sex scenes.
