ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Speaking of hip-hop, are you on Team Kanye or Team 50?
ANDY MILONAKIS: I like both of them. So far I only have Kanye's album. I think it's great. I really like how he's kind of flipping hip-hop on its ass. I think so much of hip-hop is really, really generic music that's derivative and it's all about the same topics: about bitches and bling and cars and money. And although he definitely has those topics in his songs ... he brings a different style to it. It's amazing that he produces most of his own music. He's just, like, one of the top guys out there right now, doing different stuff.

Are you going to have any collaborations on your album?
Yeah, I'm going to really try to base it not on star power, though. I really want someone who can be really unique and we can kind of mesh well.

Do you have anyone in mind?
I've been talking to this Bay Area group called The Federation who've heard my stuff, and they're interested in getting down on a track. I've talked to [Wu-Tang affiliate] Killah Priest. He's down to get on a track. MF Doom, I think, would be really dope. MF Doom is like so out-of-the-box and just crazy.... I just don't want a traditional rapper on it that plays club music about their car or about a new dance. I want to rap about, like, having sex with Martians on Mars and building a mansion on a different planet, on a different dimension, and like, you know, having sex with spirits or something. I just want to do some next-level sh--. I don't want to rap about my car. How generic is that? Be creative. People are just not f---ing creative enough.

Are you a Britney fan?
[Laughs] Obviously.

Did you see the monologue that Sarah Silverman did after Britney performed at the VMAs?
No, but I heard some of the things she said. I really like how [Silverman] pushes people. I think it's important. There's so much to make fun of in Hollywood and there's so many people that are scared about pissing off people.... Only a few people will be that hard core with their insults. I think it's important to do that, just for the sheer fact that not enough people do it. And they should — those people need to get their asses handed to them.... You need to shake them up a little bit.

You mentioned filming the sequel to the indie film Waiting... this fall. For people that haven't seen the first movie, what's your character like?
Basically, I just play like a wannabe rapper, totally faker, trying to ... be cool and smoke weed. [Writer/director Rob McKittrick] said that even though there's nothing much to me and T-Dog's [played by Max Kasch] characters, he still didn't want to take it out of the movie, and he thought it was good, even though he thought they were kind of one-dimensional. He made a joke of it in the movie like when he had a Bishop — the wise dishwasher — tell us that we're one-dimensional. In the sequel, it's gonna be a little bit different. We're going to get to do a lot of funny stuff. I don't want to give any of it away.

Is there anything else you want EW.com readers to know about you?
I want them to know that I'm double-jointed. And I'm a really huge fan of papaya juice.
