I’m here now with Josh Radnor, you all know him best from the sitcomhow I met your mother, he’s also making his mark in the movies, writing, directing and starring a new film liberal art, it’s about a 30 something romantic goes back to his old college and falls into a complicated kind of love, take a look.

  So I should tell you, I feel a little weird1 about being here.

  Why? Don’t.

  Well, I don’t know if you know this, but I’m a few years older than you.

  You are?

  Just a few, yeah, and I’m not necessarily say, I don’t wanna get ahead of myself here, it’s just…

  Oh, wait, sorry, you, did you think this was like a romantic thing? Just kidding

  Oh, my god,come here. And Josh Radnor joins us now, so I said they say right what you know, this was all inspired by a trip back to your college, Kenyon.

  Oh Yeah, I went back to Kenyon in Ohio, which is my almamaterto show my first film, “happy, thank you, more please”, this was about two years ago.

  And I was 35 at the time and suddenly I realized that was nearly twice as old as the students there.

  It’s hard.

  And it was a little confusing for me, I had not planned on aging, but it happened anyway, and so I started to think about you know, aging, and nostalgiaand how much my college years had meant to me and you know, it’s not an autobiographical tale, but I started to think about this, this guy.

  And your character is one of those guys who just, you can say now you’re peaked in college but loved it, and hasn’t yet found his way in the ground world.

  Yeah, he loved it in a kind of outsized way, and just misses the kind of exchange of ideas and the meal plan and the, you know socialization of college. And yeah, he’s just a little lost and he’s kind of burying his head in the books you know and not really engaging in life in a really …way.

  But then he meets this wonder of a girl, Elizabeth Olsen is so charming

  She’s amazing, yeah, yeah, so yeah, he meets this 19 year old girl and they’re very drawn2 to each other and it throws him into a tailspin and you know,

  So I gotta ask you, we only have a couple of seconds left, I gotta ask you, what do you have against twilight3, there’s a set piece in the film.

  Well, I don’t have anything against twilight, the character of Jessie has something against twilight. There’s a very spirit of the exchange over the value of reading, you know, whether we should read things that are just good for us, or whether we should be reading things we enjoy, you know just for enjoying, enjoyment4 sake, and you know, I just had fun writing this argument, I think, you know, she wins the argument, defending twilight

  She does, she definitely does

  She totally wins the argument, but I just thought Jessie was a type of character that would completely judge people based on what they read.

  So all you twilight defenders5 out there, see liberal arts.

  Yes.

  To gig your talking point, Josh, it’s a lovely film, Thanks all for coming.

  Oh, thank you. Thank you.

  It opens on 14 September.
