TV Exclusive: Watch Commentary for THE RESIDUALS- New Season Airs 6/16!

Welcome to the residual season one commentary

I'm Michael Paul Smith. I play Pete Hamilton. Hi, I'm Julian Pentevali. I play Valerie

I'm Kelly Warren. I play Ellen. And I'm Nicausta. I play Keith. And you can kind of see my balls in this shot

A little. It's a recurring theme goes into season two as well

It's a hell of a way to start show. You know? You got a gravel

I don't know if you can see there, but there's no... The balls are the odd

I see. There's one thing that really annoyed me as a gamer

In that shot, I don't have a battery pack in my controller

Which I now know, and now that's going to drive me crazy. Yeah, me too. I cannot believe I didn't catch it

They revoked your membership card. Sorry about that, Nick. Good luck with your life

Good luck with your board games. Forever. I've heard that Yassi is really fun

Now, does electronic talking battleship count? Is that a board? game or is that a video video? Oh

It's a hybrid. I've said bored. I had that. Prepare for battle

Yeah, I could still play that. That's, uh... I would never take that away from it. I think that's our first Game of Thrones reference

It is. Yeah. How's a Stark t-shirt? Gillian would not wear a Lanister t-shirt, so don't buy her one

It's not gonna fly. Don't even ask me about it, really? Just all stark all the time

And that's... Have you been Jamie? You don't love Jamie? I love, I do love Jamie

I love, especially the books, maybe, love Jamie. His name is Jamie. His name is Jamie

That's tough. I do love Jamie, but. So would you wear a Jamie Lanister t-shirt

Is that something you would be? Just said like my name is Jamie Maybe I wouldn want people to think I was Team Lanister though My name is Jamie Oh God so good That by the way speaking of So Good is Emily Tarver Not that and that Jillian

But right on the other side of this, there she is. And she is one of the funniest women on the planet

True story. Right now playing the actor girl that we often see in auditions that makes everything not funny

But she tries to be funny, even if the audition doesn't call for that. So this is supposed to be a serious audition for a medication

and she just can't not ham it up. Just looking into the camera and smiling, totally inappropriately

It's amazing. I love her Bobby Sox her shoes, too. Yeah, I was just noticing her shoes

Just want to jitterbug the night away in those. And her catchphrase that she... Wait

There it is. See you at the call back. Patrick Jones, Allison Levering Wong, and Joel Walker

Three wonderful actors and friends, and there's Jeremy Redleaf. Yay, indeed. Yay

And did you and Allison Plam I'm wearing the same color? Is that a thing that, like, a directorial note that you gave to her

I've been told I look good in blue. That's just me. And I told them to overdress for this scene, because a lot of actors either overdress or they dress

for what they think the character should be, should look like. Some of them actually wear costumes

Really, you're just supposed to wear like a solid color and you're good to go. I want to say also for the record, Allison also looks great in blue

Amazing. She does. She does. I just going to say that. Fact But no I did not tell her what color to wear No Because I not that much of a control freak Yeah This whole bit with the vitriol came about because Michael had me do the scene with him in Mike

and Gillian's living room. He had like the basic tenet of what the scene was and then we just did it

And it was so cool to get the final shooting script and see some of that stuff actually make it into the script. Mm-hmm

So the vitriol was very organic. Yeah. It was a fun word

It is. It is. It's a fun word. one of my favorite scenes just in general in the show because it was so easy and natural

to do because it had already happened naturally. Yeah. Right. So it's easy to make it sound like

it's coming out of your mouth for the first time when it actually has already. When you've already, you've already done it. You've already said those same

things already. What are your other favorite words to say? My other favorite word is Shuiadel. I just like that word

how it sounds. What does that even mean? It's an Italian dessert. Oh, wow. Yeah. A shout out to champ the dog

Chant the dog. Yay! What a sweetheart that pup is saying it

He's a good boy. He is. And he loves Nick. And handsome

Oh, very handsome. I mean, the camera loves him. You could see him in a 16th century portrait

next to a British nobleman or something. Or a Kira Knightley movie

Polly. Or she plays a 16th century nobleman. Yeah. She can pull it off

It's in her wheelhouse. This apartment is beautiful on campus. We get a lot of comments and compliments

That's my old apartment. That is my own apartment. It was an enormous four bedroom apartment in Harlem

And we could afford it because it was before Harlem got cool Nick also does all of his own stunts I do And there were four of you which I have You can see craft service in the background

And yes, Nick had three roommates when he lived there. And so Pete and Keith probably couldn't afford that space

Including Champstad. Champs Dad. Champs Dad, yes, Eric Smith. Eric Smith. They all get shout-outs in the special things

They do. They do. Ross and Sala, Eric Smith, and Steve Schulte. yeah

wonderful gentleman dracarus oh game of thrones reference number two and champ was only paying attention to me

because I had cheese behind my head in that scene the magic of movie making yeah

house of stark again does that count as a new reference but it's the same shirt

as the same we gotta be we gotta be sticklers about it

Valerie's exhausted if there's one thing you are Kelly Warren it's a stickler

how long do we think Valerie been doing. This is like... All day

All day. This is like the last one of the day, I think. And now Jeremy Redleaf is playing this guy that

goes douchey with his acting choices because he thinks it's cool or thinks it's funny

but it's really just douchey. And I guess Ellen has been waiting out there for hours

which is also a thing that happens. Sometimes you're there all day. I love that Jeremy was breathing through his mouth just then

He's like literally a mouth breather character. Jeremy is so funny. He's so funny

Every take of that was like torture for me not to laugh. And I still, even at the end there, you can see you start to smile

Which makes sense, though. Like, what a ridiculous thing to say. Yeah. Thanks for watching and listening

Yay! Yeah. Join us for the other Epps. Yay. It's going to be amazing
