Jason Bateman Interview

Ozark is close to its end. The fourth and final season will be coming to Netflix next year. The show only increases in quality as time goes by, so fans are highly anticipating the release of season four. This has most viewers wondering, what will become of Marty Byrd? We were able to score an exclusive interview with Jason Bateman. Lucky for us, he had five rounds of old fashions with us before our interview. We were able to get Mr. Bateman to spill all the beans. Spoiler alert, as here comes a ton of Ozark spoilers. This is our exclusive interview with Jason Bateman.

Exclusive Interview With Jason Bateman: The Ending Of Ozark Revealed

Dr. Williams: Hello Mr. Bates. I am so excited to have you here with us today.

Jason Bateman: Did you just give me a nickname?

Dr. Williams: No, I thought your last name was Bates. My apologies. I hope you can forgive me, and that we can move forward with this interview.

Jason Bateman: *Laughs for 3 minutes* You’re kidding. You are such a jokester. You know my last name! Don’t be sure a comedian. I am glad to be here.

Dr. Williams: That was a close one. Anyways, I have been re-watching Arrested Development and I have to say it. I totally see Michael Bluth and Marty Byrd as the exact same human being.

Arrested Development X Ozark?

Jason Bateman: Are you saying I have no range as an actor? *chuckles and grins*

Dr. Williams: Of course not. I am suggesting that this isn’t a coincidence. Everyone knows you love Arrested Development. Do you have some head canon regarding Michael Bluth and his similarities to Marty Byrd?

Jason Bateman: Oh I for sure do. In my mind, Marty Byrd is Michael Bluth. I just took the character and went an alternate direction with it. Consider this a story of what would happen if Michael Bluth got into some cartel business.

Ozark’s Striking Similarities To Breaking Bad

Dr. Williams: Thank you for finally clearing this up. So basically you wrote a show that combines Arrested Development and Breaking Bad and just passed it off as your own thing?

Jason Bateman: Yeah pretty much. I consider myself a huge fan of both, and I kind of just wanted to combine my two favorite series. Ozark is basically just a giant fanfic.

Dr. Williams: So this isn’t a coincidence? The show is purposely similar to Breaking Bad?

Jason Bateman: Oh totally. In my head canon, Walter White is creating meth as Marty Byrd (aka Michael Bluth) is laundering money. The whole thing just really comes together when you think about it. I hope one day Breaking Bad’s canon acknowledges us.

Dr. Williams: Wow that sure sounds like a pipe dream. Thank you for being so honest today. Speaking of being honest, would you be able to give us a little peek into season four of Ozark?

Ozark Season Four: The Fate Of Marty Byrd

Jason Bateman: Of course I can. In fact I can’t hold it in any longer. Can I just tell you off the record what is going to happen?

Dr. Williams: That is a great idea. I am going to shut off the cameras and put away my notes. Give me everything!

Jason Bateman: *Laughs in excitement* Oh yeah! That is what I like to hear. Let’s get another old fashion first, and then we can have story time.

*some time passes*

Dr. Williams: Alright how about we get into it. Mr. Bateman what do you have planned for Ozark season four?

Jason Bateman: We are pulling all the shots. We are going out with a bang. Breaking Bad only had five seasons, and we are aiming for four. We will one up them on this one.

Dr. Williams: That’s the spirit Mr. Bateman. So how do you plan to do this? What exactly will happen to the Byrd family?

Ozark’s Final Season: All Is Revealed

Jason Bateman: The final season of Ozark will be the darkest ending a show could ever have. I purposely watched a ton of horror films just to get some nasty thoughts.

Dr. Williams: Wow this sounds intense! Please tell me more.

Jason Bateman: Marty Byrd (AKA Michael Bluth) is going to go absolutely insane. He will have to commit the worst acts he has ever done in order to survive this one.

Dr. Williams: What happens exactly?

Jason Bateman: As alluded to at the end of season three, both his wife Wendy and his son Jonah are going off the deep end. The finale will pin the family against each other. They survived the cartel, but can their survive each other?

Dr. Williams: Wow this one again sounds like Breaking Bad. Walter White gets in a physical altercation with his wife and son. Is this going to be pretty similar?

Jason Bateman: Oh yeah. It is almost redone scene for scene. That is until we one up them and go even further.

Dr. Williams: Wow okay what happens next?

Who Survives The Finale Of Ozark?

Jason Bateman: Marty (AKA Michael) will have to kill Wendy and Jonah just to survive. They have lost their minds, and the innocent wife and son he used to have are no more. Charlotte will show up after, and she will be forced to either end Marty as well, or accept the loss and move on.

Dr. Williams: Well don’t stop now. What happens?

Jason Bateman: Well Walter White died, so of course Marty Byrd (AKA Michael Bluth) dies as well.

Dr. Williams: I should have known.

Jason Bateman: Yep, Charlotte shots him and kills him. The show ends with Charlotte driving off with tons of money.

Dr. Williams: Sounds a lot like what Jesse Pinkman did.

Jason Bateman: It sure does. So what do you think?

Dr. Williams: I think we need another old fashion!

Dr. Williams And Jason Bateman Share Another Drink

Jason Bateman: *Laughs for 8 minutes straight* Man, we need to have out more after this.

Dr. Williams: We sure do! Thank you for spilling the beans today Jason. Let’s go get another round of drinks.

Jason Bateman: Any time Dr. Williams! Let’s do it!

Wow that was the most fun interview I have ever done. I hope Jason doesn’t get mad at me for posting these spoilers. I would love to get some more old fashions with him!
