Mike Mills is an artist and filmmaker living in Los Angeles, his newest film C’mon Cmon on A24 starring Joaquin Phoenix is out now. We chat about the Olsens being the greatest twins of all time, some troubling zoom filters, buying his Silverlake home in 1999 and how much it changed since then, filming in New York vs Los Angeles, black & white is a choice, being jealous of other peoples childhoods, what Mike’s learned from his own child, time doesn’t exist in New Orleans, a critic calling Mike “sententious,” we ask if Joaquin plays a podcaster in his new film, what it’s like to have your kid hide from you in public, and how much Mike knows about Dimes Square.
