Sam! That is such an interesting thing to say after you’ve written, produced, and wrapped an episode, aired it to millions of people, and filmed an additional behind-the-scenes segment to explain said episode. And then, the notoriously singular creator casually dropped this line: “Like, I’m never quite sure if this is exactly what Lexi’s putting on, or if it’s interpretation of it.” Following “The Theater and Its Double,” Levinson said that the episode doesn’t only depict Lexi’s play, but also the subjective experience of all the characters watching themselves onstage. Screenshots via HBOīut even more than a memory, the audience’s reaction to Our Life seems to be Lexi’s fantasy that we’re watching play out on a parallel track to her actual production-and if the two happen to cross paths in the Venn diagram of fantasy and reality that is Euphoria, then so be it. And in that case, a theater kid putting on a play so eviscerating yet so simultaneously lauded by one’s peers that it sends the two prettiest people in school running from the auditorium could feel pretty gratifying in the ol’ memory bank. In Euphoria’s behind-the-scenes segments, director of photography Marcell Rév has repeatedly said that Season 2 is intended to function more as a remembrance of high school than a realistic representation of it, which is how they “get away with exaggerated, stylized moments.” That’s just, like, your opinion man, but we can agree to say that Euphoria consistently pulls off its most stylized moments because Euphoria isn’t about high school, it’s about how high school feels-or felt. Euphoria may not glamorize drug use, but it sure as hell glamorized high school theater.
Yeah.If you felt a small rumble in the earth’s atmosphere on Sunday night, you can blame the collective sound of every current and former theater kid in your area crying out in perfect harmony: “Wait- is this fucking episode about this fucking play about us?” (For the record, we achieved perfect pitch, and expect a glowing review in the Euphoria High School newspaper come Monday.)Īn improbable amount of people are watching Euphoria each week, and in the seventh episode of Season 2, creator Sam Levinson dared to ask the question: Exactly how many of those people have participated in a senior showcase of Arsenic and Old Lace? After watching Euphoria’s play-within-the-show, Our Life, there’s no doubt that this one was for them-for every character shoe they wore, for every set they painted to look like a castle wall, for every line of old-age makeup applied to a teenager by a teenager without any practical knowledge of a glabellar line, and for every fake-puff-cigarette they insisted was integral to their character. When the outlet asked if fans should remain hopeful for the future of the couple, he gave a simple response: "I would say, 'Yeah. When it comes to the upcoming third season, Angus confirmed that there may be more Fexi developments in an interview with Vulture.
It all felt right as soon as we started talking about it." "And Angus and I, in real life, have a funny friendship. Once we started talking about it, it totally made sense," she said. "I can't remember specifically how that went down. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Maude Apatow shared that Fexi came about after an hours-long conversation with Euphoria showrunner, Sam Levinson. So I think the letter was just being like, 'Yo, good job for f-king doing you.'" "Definitely taking it to the next level with them flowers and whatnot. "I think both know there's a vibe going on," he told Variety. "Pretty sad, right?" Angus told the outlet.Īngus has openly been the #1 Fexi shipper on Twitter, so naturally, he said the letter may have had romantic intentions.
The envelope with "Lexi" written across the front was a key focus during the scene where Fez's little brother, Ashtray, was shot to death. Fez had been so close to gifting Lexi roses and a letter at her play before the intense raid transpired. The actor expressed that the SWAT raid from the season 2 finale was filmed in three 12-hour days because of "technicalities" behind the prop guns and bullets.
