the settling of the West and making their way across the plains in particular and dealing with the kamane and the Plains Indians like it is one of the most brutal experiences in human history they couldn't look at it in film back then there's no way people have asked like well you know when when I was making it is there going to be sex in the film like Isaac and Sarah are they going to fall in love are they going to have sex I'm like are you can you imagine what they would have smelt like just
think about just odor from head to toe there's no way these people were going to have sex there's no way they were going to smell each other or taste each other in any way and and that was like you know when we were talking when we're putting it together and we're writing it and you know Mark and we're like well should they have sex and we're like there's no way just that alone right would have been it's amazing to me that people did have sex like that world wanted to each other like like get the
away from me yeah they barely washed back then bar they and they never brush their teeth and making their way across the country there's I mean you're months on end same clothes no sanitation women didn't there were no tampons right like there was no toilet paper they didn't have Japanese toilets to blow water up your ass and you can dry yourself like they they this was a best in the world and they were not going to make and I wanted to do a scene where where uh Taylor sh uh Taylor sh Taylor Kit's character has
to and he's constipated and and he's got to use sticks to help him get it out cuz that we'd read about that about that was how you had to sh because you were constipated all the time so you would have to stick wood up your ass and and break it up and force it out and we we had that scene written um and I I called that one off when you have this convergence of a American you know this this emergence of these settlers trying to make their way across this country and dealing with the
Indians and it's just it's just phenomenal I mean it's it's a crazy time in human history and a very brief time if you really think about the impact that the West has had on American culture we think about wild west every kid grew up playing Cowboys and Indians like this is a time that was a very short window it was only a couple hundred years and it really changed the entire world cuz the the successful settling of this country by the Europeans changed everything the establishment of America changed everything and the only way it was
going to happen was you got to get through the the Indians so we're doing the next one on uh this is a this is a um announcement yeah the next American primeval is going to be on General kuster yeah man and we're going to focus on a period short period of time leading up to Little Big Horn and how when you know cuz he is a very misunderstood character from American history and I'm sure you know a bit uh are you a cust fan I mean he was a beast and he was a you know
warrior in the Civil War who was leading in the front of the Cal and he started Cavalry Charges and I've like to can you imagine being in a cavalry charge like [ __ ] 500 guys on your side 500 on mine and we are just Galloping full speed at each other and just smashing and he would just and he just kept doing it all through the Civil War and was just a badass the war ends and he's a warrior with like he starts losing his mind because he doesn't know what to do with himself so
they send him out west to deal with the Indian problem so have you thought about multiple versions of American primeval with different characters throughout history yeah so the goal would be to do um like what one of the things was cool about American primeval and reaction is people like whoa I didn't know that about Brigham Young I didn't know this about Jim Bridger I didn't understand right and and so you get something that works hopefully as you know entertaining cool show that's just awesome but you're also like oh wow I'm learn about the country right
so you I like the idea of taking moments in American history not necessarily all about the West although kuster is something that markl Smith and I are both kind of obsessed with and there's so much cool around the story of general kuster and Crazy Horse and building a fictional story around those characters and having some great actor Play custers exciting
