this also being the scene he auditioned with!
A screenshot of Charlie Heaton's interview with Goldderby: The climax of Episode 4 is shocking and tragic. What was it like filming those drug-induced conversations with Sagar Radia? It’s a real highlight of the season. Charlie Heaton: That was my audition scene! I knew that was coming up. Luckily, we got to film that at the very end. It took a whole day to shoot that scene, which is a pretty long time. In the beginning, it was just about mechanically learning the dialogue; I needed to have it so ingrained to the point that I was not thinking about it. And then also understanding it and breaking it down. The show kind of zooms in and out, but we wanted to perform it almost like this one long tangent thought. Obviously he's experiencing a coke binge, but his subconscious is also spewing out these thoughts, and when you break it down and listen to it, he talks about seeing Rishi’s wife dead, and what that feels like. He’s basically comparing it to how desensitized we are now. And that hits, because Rishi’s actually seen something like that. The rest of us, we just see life through a screen, which we all do in the modern age. We experience life through a screen, and it’s like, "How f--ked up is that?" There’s a great line when Jim says: “Our granddads used to paint Marilyn Monroe on the side of a f--king plane, and then they’d use that plane to firebomb Dresden. They’d be lucky enough to meet one Marilyn-class type lady in the flesh in their lives. We’ve built an interface with the world which gives us what we want, but not what we want to want.” There’s all these pearls of wisdom, and when you really think about it, he’s not wrong. That just comes from Mickey and Konrad’s writing. It’s really on the pulse, and it’s just so sad. A screenshot of Charlie Heaton's interview with TheWrap: What were those scenes in the apartment with Rishi like to shoot? The scene may fade in and out but Jim is going on one long drug-fueled rant for quite a while. That was my audition scene, and I didn’t have context. So when I auditioned, I was really angry. I was like, ‘So what the f–k is this?’ I was so angry as well because it’s so much dialogue, and I did not want to read it off book, but I guess I did an OK job enough for them to see something in it. I was in Cardiff for about three months, and I had a lot of time to prep. Initially, that was mechanically learning it, even if I didn’t understand it — just reading it and reading it because I just needed to know that. I knew that it would be the way that it needs to come across — this is coming out faster than you can think it. So I just need to mechanically know these words and then as I got closer to the timeframe it’s breaking it down and understanding each thought. The great thing about the way they shoot, and I think this adds to the intensity of the show, is it’s not traditional. You are encouraged to move in that space wherever you want. So I could get up, I could move around, I could pour myself a drink, I could come back to the couch, I could stand up, I could do all these things while I was ranting. It was just about keeping the ball in the air with me and Sagar. Coming off “Stranger Things,” where the intensity of the dialogue is never that level, I was scared. I think I really did come off that step, proving to myself, like, ‘OK, you can handle bigger, heavier dialogue.’ It just taught me to jump sometimes, facing those fears, and then when you don’t fall on your face and you actually kind of manage to get through it — it was very rewarding.

I’m getting such a kick out of how badly the grotesque piece of propaganda that is “ #Melania”, is bombing. Lots of media & film critics went to see it, as well as people being paid $50 bucks to fill seats. Otherwise it’s a well deserved bomb. That doesn’t stop the RW lie machine going into action.
