And you know, what was more kind of interesting to me is, how has this guy been so popular and endured? And I think you sort of get it when you watch his shows. And in getting ready for the movie, you know, I started to watch some of those Bob Ross things. But I see the Art Garfunkel reference also. WILSON: Not so much growing up, but, you know, we've been talking about, certainly, his look, as Carl's look is inspired by Bob Ross and Gordon Lightfoot. He's got the Art Garfunkel hair, the soothing voice, the nature paintings - like, did you ever watch him growing up? And Carl Nargle seems to be a lot like him.
RASCOE: There was a painter in the '80s and '90s, Bob Ross, who had a painting show on PBS.
And there was a tobacco shop in town, and I went in there and got a few tips and pointers on how to look convincing with the pipe. And my character, Carl Nargle, smokes a pipe, and I've never smoked a pipe before. I mean, we did film it in a small town in Saratoga Springs in New York, which - I think, you know, they really welcomed us. I mean, did you have a lot of fun with that? I mean, it's set in Vermont, and everybody is watching this painting show. So this movie is this, you know, really cool sendup of small-town New England. RASCOE: (Laughter) Well, I'm glad that we got a nice little description in there. And the way you described it - I can't do any better than that. People keep asking me to describe the movie. The film stars Michaela Watkins, Ciara Renee and, as Carl Nargle, Owen Wilson, who joins us now.
RASCOE: Under all that paint is a story of lost love, ambition and creativity. More power to Ambrosia if she can pull it off. What I'm trying to say is the young bull is happy to learn from the old bull, though inevitably, the young bull will kill the old bull. STEPHEN ROOT: (As Tony) Obviously, there's no competition between you and Ambrosia. Then a younger, shinier new painter comes to town and reveals the cracks in Carl's happy little life. Fame, the adoring public, $46,000 a year and his own show on a local public television station in Vermont in which he paints pictures live on the air.
