We’re Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg here to talk our new sci-fi action-comedy on Hulu: Future Man!
We’re Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. We’re the executive producers of Hulu’s new sci-fi action-comedy Future Man. It’s about a janitor who beats an impossible video game, and finds out the game is actually a training tool to find the savior of humanity. If you’re thinking “Hey that sounds like the Last Starfighter,” it’s intentional. He then goes on a journey through time to prevent his boss from curing herpes. Aiding him along the way are Tiger, a no-nonsense resistance commander from the future, and Wolf, another future warrior who likes hanging out in the past a little too much. It’s inspired by movies we loved growing up. Here’s the trailer and you can watch every episode on Hulu now: https://youtu.be/vJaUfpbEYIU.
Ask us anything. About Future Man. Or anything else. Ask us anything about anything.

Hi Seth!! Do you remember when Eric Andre posted your number on his show? Was that actually your number because I left you 100 million voicemails of me doing an impression of you pretending to be you from the future..
cocohaze2047 karma
can you name any famous actors who have turned down roles in your films?

Hey guys, any future interest in venturing into darker/more serious comedies? Would love to see a super dark and realistic comedy come from you 2.

Nick Offerman said on an interview that if he ever played a superhero he wanted it to be from The Boys. Is it possible to make this happen?????

Seth, Is your mom as cool as she seems? And Evan, is your mom as cool as she seems?
SethAndEvan2971 karma
we tried. you can probably find the email in the sony hack where they decided not to do it.

I'm allergic to wheat. My sandwich days are over. Aging is a real drag.
SethAndEvan998 karma
HEY EVERYONE! THANKS FOR ALL THE FUN! WE HAD A GREAT TIME! UNTIL WE REDDIT AMA AGAIN, ENJOY FUTUREMAN!
WigglestonTheFourth916 karma
Are you worried that, 30 years from now, someone will make a movie about playing video games only to become the savior of humanity and they'll reference Future Man in the trailer as a joke?
daarock866 karma
Hi Seth, is there any chance in the future that you would be keen on doing a comedy of some kind with Jermaine Clement (Flight of the Concords, What We Do in the Shadows) or Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows, Thor Ragnarok)?...They are hilarious together and it would be comedic heaven if the three of you were involved some way
chachawhore755 karma
Seth! Congrats on Future Man. Unrelated question: I go to University of Vermont, and did you know that literally everyone of your frat brothers has you in their tinder pictures? No joke I see a picture of you on Tinder everyday.
SethAndEvan1024 karma
this has recently been brought to my attention. I hope people don't think they're going on a date with me instead.

Would you rather have fingers the length of legs, or legs the length of fingers?

Hi Seth and Evan,
This summer, my friends and I watched 50/50 50 straight times. Still a great movie on the 50th viewing. Do you have any advice for how to continue our lives going forward?
Sir1234514 karma
How did your show end up on HULU? and how much creative freedom did they give you?
SethAndEvan1234 karma
they seemed like a good fit and they let us do whatever the fuck we wanted.
Skydolize511 karma
I loved Future Man, binged it within the first 24 hours. Since you now have 2 hit shows, are you going to be able to keep pumping out hilarious movies??? That's the one bummer of binge watching a good show, no big audience to laugh and experience with.
SethAndEvan698 karma
We will NEVER stop making movies for the theatre! We'll just do both!
unique_useyourname485 karma
Seth if you're ever in Edmonton you should hit me up. Wanna get hiiiiiigh?
daddd452 karma
my friends and i watch "the night before" every xmas since it came out! gonna live on forever i swear!
im a huge michael shannon fan. did you guys know him beforehand and write the character with him in mind? he's so great in comedy.
SethAndEvan496 karma
We did not know him before hand and it was awesome working with him. He's just so damn good.

What's your number 1 favourite thing to do while stoned?.. Apart from eating!
ogcha342 karma
seth, who’s your comedy idol? and can I buy your laugh to keep in a jar at home?
Khan4Prez277 karma
During Pineapple Express (or any other major film we see people smoking) are you actually smoking weed?
alixsyd211 karma
Hi Seth, Are you still being harassed by trolls on Twitter after trolling Bill Mitchell? You should do it again! That was hilarious.
canonm8161 karma
Are platform-exclusive shows like Future Man the future of TV? Do you see the big studios and distributors being relevant 15 years from now?
serenisms146 karma
Hi Seth and Evan! The two of you are brilliant. Simple question: what's the highest you've ever been and what are you most excited for in the future?
SethAndEvan430 karma
I once ate too many shrooms in the woods in high school and I'm most excited to see this new thor movie.
sharks-spiderman138 karma
Hey guys, so I've been a fan since i was a kid and you guys are the reason i want to work in the film industry so what advice would you have for someone who wants to make their own movies and scripts?
SethAndEvan501 karma
Finish them! DOn't be the guy that writes half a script. Write a full script or make a film and post it! you have so many cool avenues these days! But no matter what, finish! Even if it's bad, then you have something finished to work off of and show others and get their thougths! Finish, then show others and take their precious free thougths!
SteveMcJ75 karma
Hey Seth! As a kid in college aspiring to be a comedian/actor, what’s your advice on how to be successful? More specifically, what’s the best way to someday work on a project with you?
P.S. Preacher and Future Man are dope. Keep up the awesome work.
Chalupaca_Bruh74 karma
Hollywood seems to notoriously suck at adapting video games. Would either of you ever consider bucking that trend and taking a crack at an adaptation since you’re doing a doc on the Console Wars? If so, what franchise?
coltonkemp63 karma
Long-time fan, first-time poster – here’s my piece. If weed isn’t legal in all 50 states in the next five years, i have no faith left in humanity. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not gonna stop anytime soon. It makes everything better. It makes food better. It makes music better. It makes sex feel better, for God's sakes. It makes shitty movies better, you know?
MichaelG20562 karma
what movie or movies did you see that made you think, "That's what I want to do."?
FearedGinger48 karma
Hello Seth and Evan! Thank you both so much for providing us all with such extensive opportunities to laugh. Your senses of humor are irreplaceable and unmatched. My question for you is a bit odd and self-serving. My last name happens to be Kronisch, not one that you commonly come across, if ever. When I saw the trailer for Future Man and my name being used in the show I thought I was either dreaming or someone was pranking me (perhaps it was some new advertising tech that inserted the viewer’s name into the video somehow?). Not the case. I neeeeeed to know: what is the origin of coming up with the name Elias Kronish? The fact that you have both said my name out loud is still mind blowing to me.
SethAndEvan68 karma
It was just a cool name that was also clearable! You submit names sometimes and they say you can't use it for one reason or another and of the names we liked most this one stuck!
mrrobledo1232 karma
Hey Seth & Evan! Are you interested in doing This is the End 2? Haha, cheers guys!
SethAndEvan151 karma
I don't think we'll be doing that! Our ending is pretty final. We can't top the backstreet boys.
SethAndEvan97 karma
Thor:Ragnorak! Granted, I haven't seen it yet, but I think I'm gonna like it.
elmatador1224 karma
Hey, so in the pilot episode of Future Man, is the line "Time out stop the bike" a call back to Terminator 2?
Follow up, how many times is too many times for watching T2?
Charpybro15 karma
Hi guys, huge fan.
I grew up sneaking into your movies (Superbad, Pinapple Express) and you guys pretty much shaped my sense of humor. Now I am attending Vancouver Film School to become a film maker so my question is, how do you feel that your films have inspired future film makers?
SethAndEvan39 karma
Love to hear people are diving into it! Making movies is fun! Writing is the jam! DO IIIIITTTT!!!!
tisha31915 karma
Hey guys! Big fan of This is the End and now of Futureman! Love it so so much and I'm cackling, yes cackling, every episode so far. I've just finished episode 7 so I have a few more left. Question: have you started talking to Hulu about season 2? Any news?
SethAndEvan48 karma
I loved most of them but superbad, This is the end, and Sausage Party were awesome.
noahhhh5213 karma
What did you have more fun making, This is the End or The Disaster Artist?
SethAndEvan70 karma
Probably this is the end. it just felt special because ALL of our friends were in it.
Mango_Fett6 karma
WHAT'S UPPPP GUYS! Love your shit! You guys look like you have the best time on your sets. Can you tell me you love me?
jaydb955 karma
Hey Seth and Evan,
Love all your movies! What was it like working with such a huge cast (who are also your friends) for This is the End? Would that be something you guys would consider doing again for a sequel or similar film?
Also can't wait to watch Future Man and The Disaster Artist!
Edit: Forgot to add that your Superbad anniversary trivia this year was really interesting so thanks for that too!
SethAndEvan10 karma
It was super tricky to work with that many friends at the same time as our directorial debut, but ultimately that's why it was a good movie so we regret nothing!
Bisessar32 karma
What else do you guys think you would be doing If you never got into the entertainment business?
SethAndEvan3 karma
I'd be a history teacher. Love history. And always writing fiction, if I was getting paid or not.
themargolis9095 karma
It's a long shot, but I'm the kid you guys casted as Young Seth in Superbad (Casey Margolis), remember me? How're you fellas doing?
