The film was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg when they were 13. Obviously the script has gone through changes and jokes have been altered…but the original characters are still the same. Seth and Evan. And yes, they are based on themselves.

If you need to know more, you can watch the movie clips I’ve already posted, read a story on the Comic-Con screening and Q & A, you can even watch a video interview I did with Evan Goldberg on this film and his other projects with Seth.

But those things are not the reason you’re here, as if you clicked on this story, you want to read or listen to the roundtable interview that I participated in with Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, soon to be known the world over as McLovin!

Seriously, McLovin t-shirts are going to be the rage in about a month.

Anyway, here’s the interview with these two and we discuss everything under the sun – from the movie to what they have coming up.

And since I might not have time to transcribe the other interviews I did for “Superbad,” I wanted to at least offer them as MP3s. So just click on the names if you’d like to hear the interviews - Judd Apatow, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Emma Stone, and the last one is with the director Greg Mottola.

I cannot say loud enough how you have to see the film this weekend. And now, Michael and McLovin.

DID YOU KNOW THAT SONG THAT YOU DANCED TO?

CERA: Yeah. I'd heard it.

ARE THERE ALTERNATE VERSIONS?

CERA: Yeah. There's one where I'm singing 'The Thong Song.'

QUESTION: MICHAEL, DID YOU AND JONAH HANG OUT BEFORE THE FILM? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN AND WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO TOGETHER? DID YOU GUYS BECOME FRIENDS?

CERA: Yeah. We drove around together a lot, talked about the movie; talked about other movies; and ate food; played video games. We all rehearsed together. We went to CPK and I got the barbecue chicken chops. Then we did a shot of wheat grass at Jamba Juice. That's the first time either us had ever tried it. Didn't feel any better. Also, we rehearsed in Greg's office a lot,

M-P: They taped that. I want to see it.

CERA: Maybe it'll be on the DVD. That was it. Yeah. We're pretty comfortable with each other, by the time it came to, time to film on tape.

QUESTION: CHRIS, I HEARD THAT YOU SHOWED UP JONAH AT THE CASTING SESSION.

CERA: That'll be in the DVD hopefully.

M-P: I didn't know until maybe two weeks ago that after my audition Jonah was like, I don't want that guy.

CERA: Literally, right when you left the room everyone was laughing at Chris, and Jonah was like, no. And we were like no, seriously. That's why it's funny. Actually that day, we went and watched the tape. After we had auditioned, we went to Seth's house and we all sat around and watched the tape and Jonah already saw it. He was hardly amused though.

QUESTION: CHRIS, ARE YOU READY FOR THE WOMEN WHO’LL WANT TO SLEEP WITH MCLOVIN?

M-P: Bring it. Bring it on.

Cera: He's not unprepared.

M-P: I'm not the only person that's going to get the lady action. The Comic Con girls were after Cera.

Cera: But it was Comic-Con.

QUESTION: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE OF GOING TO COMICON AND WALKING AROUND?

CERA: Yeah. I met Ernie Hudson and got a signed headshot.

QUESTION: HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY YOU FOR IT?

CERA: 20 bucks, and I lost it too. But I have it on tape. I have it on tape, me talking to him and getting a signed headshot. He's really friendly. He looks like he hasn't aged at all. Yeah. He hasn't aged a day. He looks great. He's in a booth.

QUESTION: WAS IT A GHOSTBUSTERS HEADSHOT?

CERA: Yeah, as Winston.

QUESTION: WHAT DID HE WRITE ON IT?

CERA: "Michael, who are you going to call?" It was real cool, and I lost it. I met Harold Ramis too. I met Harold Ramis and for some reason Ernie Hudson-- Maybe because he looks exactly how we did doing the Movie, Harold Ramis looks like a completely different person. I was like really nervous for some reason around him. It couldn't even talk. It took so much for me to go up to him and ask him to sign a head shot.

QUESTION: ERNIE?

CERA: Yeah.

QUESTION: DID HE RECOGNIZE YOU? KNOW YOU ARE?

CERA: No. We talked for a while.

QUESTION: YOU'VE BEEN DOING A WEB SHOW CALLED 'CLARK AND MICHAEL'? CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THAT?

CERA: Oh, just talk about it?

QUESTION: I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE REACTION HAS BEEN SINCE IT'S BEEN COMPLETED. WILL THERE BE ANOTHER ONE?

CERA: I'm not sure. I have no idea what they're watching. I don't know how many people are watching it or what people think of it. The only thing I can go by are their comments on the actual page, which is kind of cool. You know? What was the second part?

QUESTION: DO YOU THINK THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER ONE?

CERA: I don't know. I don't think we're going to do anymore.

M-P: Clark seems to Hollywood now.

CERA: Yeah. And Clark's doing the TV show now too. He's doing a series called 'Greek' that he's in contract with. They probably wouldn't let him make anymore if he wanted to.

QUESTION: CAN YOU TALK A BIT MORE ABOUT CLARK'S CAMEO?

CERA: Yeah. Clark had a cameo in 'Superbad.'

M-P: No, it wasn't a cameo. He kind of hung out on set because he's good friends with Mike we just put him in the movie.

CERA: He auditioned a bunch of times for Fogell actually. And they wanted him in the party scene.

M-P: Really? Cool.

QUESTION: MICHAEL, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE DANCING?

CERA: In the beginning? Yeah. We recorded me dancing for an hour straight. It was Evan's idea. For the DVD menu, he wanted the DVD menu to be-- I think they can do that. If it's like a Blue Ray disk, they can have menus that long. It would be an hour of me dancing without looping. So the people would be like, 'Oh, how long does this go on for?' They would wait for it to loop and it never would. It's actually a great idea. So I danced for an entire tape, which is like 53 minutes. And it's just a menu in front of a green screen. Then someone made, I think it was an Editor's Assistant made that intro of me dancing with like a silhouette. It was the intro of the movie. It was exactly like that. They made the actual. They hadn't changed it at all. Then they recorded Jonah dancing because they liked it and decided to use it at the beginning of the movie, which I love. I think it's really good. So they recorded Jonah dancing and then put it in. It was only done for the DVD menu. It was like at midnight one night. Evan felt really bad about making the cameraman stay just to watch me dance. I felt like an idiot too.

QUESTION: DID YOU TAKE ANY DANCING LESSONS?

CERA: No, no. Not really.

QUESTION: WHAT ARE YOU DANCING TO?

CERA: They were playing music. They were playing the Unicorns over the loudspeaker, just so that...

QUESTION: PLAYING THE WHAT?

CERA: The Unicorns. It's a band. It wasn't any kind of...

QUESTION: It was all improvised?

CERA: Yeah. Evan was like shouting things out at me to do. 'Pretend you're using a lawn mower.'

QUESTION: JONAH WAS SAYING THAT HE DID NOT TRY TO BE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM TO CHANNEL SETH. THE FACT THAT YOU WERE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH EVAN, YOU SAW HIM. THERE WERE SOME QUIRKS AND SOME MOVEMENTS THERE THAT LOOKED SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THE THINGS EVAN DOES.

CERA: Yeah. Maybe that just came from me hanging around those guys and accidentally becoming like them. It wasn't like based on him. It didn't matter. Nobody would care. Because nobody knows those guys in real life, knows what they like. Most people who are watching the movie don't. It was more about seeming real instead of seeming like a bad impression of, seeming like just a person that actually exists. I don't think that was ever their intention was to have the characters sound like them or be like them.

QUESTION: BUT THERE MIGHT BE SOME QUALITIES, AS YOU SAY, JUST HAPPENED FROM SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH SOMEBODY AND IT BECOMES, SUPPOSEDLY, SOMETHING THAT HE WROTE ABOUT HIMSELF.

CERA: Yeah. If anything, I think the dynamic between the two, the way they talk to each other. That's probably the closest thing to real life like them. Otherwise it was more. They were more concerned with how it actually looks. How would you say this in real life.

QUESTION: WHO DID YOU RESEMBLE MORE AT SCHOOL, EVAN OR SETH?

CERA: Probably Evan. I was not too bitter about school.

M-P: I was like Seth. I had a dirty mouth in high school.

QUESTION: THIS WAS YOUR FIRST FILM.

M-P: Yeah.

QUESTION: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT MIGHT BE COMING UP FOR YOU GUYS? ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE ACTING?

M-P: In January, I'm working on a movie with Harold Ramis. I think he's directing. Jack Black is in it.

QUESTION: ARE YOU GUYS BOTH 18?

CERA: I'm 19. He's 18.

QUESTION: HOW MANY AUDITIONS HAD YOU GONE OUT FOR BEFORE YOU GOT THIS?

M-P: This was my first audition. I'd been doing drama in school since I was eight. I was on an improv comedy team at my high school, so that helped.

QUESTION: DID YOU GUYS EVER DO ANY METHOD ACTING WITH THE ALCOHOL?

CERA: No. I think it was all apple juice or water.

M-P: Or non-alcoholic beer.

QUESTION: OF ALL THE ACTORS IN THIS FILM, YOU PROBABLY HAVE THE MOST HIGH PROFILE BECAUSE OF 'ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.' IS THERE ANY SENSE THAT YOU HAD TO MAKE THAT A DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE, TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THAN PERHAPS PEOPLE EXPECT FROM YOU, FROM GEORGE-MICHAEL?

CERA: I didn't really think about that. I think there's a difference. It's a lot more vulgar. I really hope that the people that liked 'Arrested Development' will like this. That would be great.

M-P: They definitely will. (laughs)

QUESTION: DO YOU WANT TO DO THE WRITING AND PRODUCING THING AS WELL AS ACTING LIKE YOU DID WITH 'CLARK AND MICHAEL'?

CERA:  I'd like to, yeah. That was a really easy show to direct. We both knew it really well and we were playing ourselves. We had written it, so nobody could tell us that we weren't doing the characters properly. Also we did it like a fake reality show, so to direct it was really easy, because we could see booms and stuff and we could look in the camera. Yeah. I like to do that. I just want to make sure I'm competent in doing it before I ever actually do it, so it's not awful.

QUESTION: HOW'S YOU'RE WRITING?

CERA: Yeah. I've written some things. I'm always kind of writing.

QUESTION:  SO HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED DOING THAT?

CERA: When I wrote it, I was, I think, 17 and Clark was about 20. Yeah.

QUESTION: SIMILAR IN A WAY, TO THESE GUYS, WHO WERE TEENAGERS WHEN THEY WROTE SUPERBAD.

CERA: Sort of, yeah. We wrote it long before we ever actually made or had any aspirations to make it. We just kind of wrote it to make each other laugh, and for something to do.

QUESTION: I SAW YOU AT COMIC-CON WITH A VIDEO CAMERA. HOW MUCH FOOTAGE DID YOU SHOOT AND WAS THAT JUST FOR PERSONAL REASONS?

CERA: Yeah. It was for personal things. Yeah. I just thought it would be fun, because we're going to be on the road for a while, to tape it.

QUESTION: WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GOING IN EUROPE?

CERA: All over. Australia. Oh, right. Australia's in Australia. We're going to Australia as well. We're going to like London. Spain, somewhere in Spain. Eventually we're going to Rome and Paris, and Madrid and maybe somewhere else.

M-P: Wherever Sony tells us to go, we'll go.

CERA: All I know is what time I have to wake up in the morning.

QUESTION: IS THIS JUST THE TWO OF YOU?

CERA:  Jonah, and-- Anyone else?

M-P: My friend's coming with us.

CERA: I think other people from the cast.

QUESTION: WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON MCLOVIN?

M-P: He's kind of a nerdy character. He thinks he's a lot cooler than he is. He has a confidence about himself that you see in the movie. Later on, when he gets taken away by the cops, he thinks he's more badass. It's like McLovin unleashed, and he becomes cooler as the movie goes on.

QUESTION: YOU DID GO TO A FIRING RANGE, RIGHT?

M-P: We went to the gun range and got to shoot shotguns and machine guns.

CERA: Tommy guns.

M-P: The shotgun pushed me back because I'm a small guy.

CERA: Hopefully that will be on the DVD.

QUESTION: HAVE YOU GOTTEN ANY OF THAT FAN ATTENTION YET?

M-P: I think so.

CERA: People show up to the screenings for a t-shirts with his face on it. It's true.

QUESTION: CAN YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT DOING SOME OF THIS? THEY'VE SCREENED THIS MOVIE A TON?

CERA: Yeah.

QUESTION: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT GOING TO SOME OF THESE SCREENINGS AND SEEING THE FANS REACTION TO IT?

CERA: Yeah. It's doing really good. We went to a bunch of screenings in different cities in the past two weeks.

M-P: We've seen it about seven times, I think. Every time we've walked down for the Q&A, we've gotten a standing ovation.

CERA: It's always been good, people staying to ask questions and stuff. It's been really positive so far.
