Speaker 1: me Brett Goldstein, and I am joined today by an actor,
Speaker 1: a writer, a producer, a podcaster, a director, a comedian,
Speaker 1: a big mouth, a Brooklyn nine niner, a crank yanker,
Speaker 1: a hero, a legend, a superstar, and a human being
Speaker 1: in her own right. Please will you welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: I can't believe she's here, can you? Well? She is.
Speaker 1: It's only Chelsea Paret.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you? What an instro? My god, Hi Chelsea,
Speaker 2: you can see the stand up background.
Speaker 1: Lovely to see you. Thanks for doing this for those
Speaker 1: of you who can't see. There is a dog in
Speaker 1: this particular episode. It's a very nice dog. It's a
Speaker 1: new dog.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's from the streets.
Speaker 1: No, we can't talk about the dog.
Speaker 2: Yeah we can. I just don't usually, you know, share
Speaker 2: his name. But he's a dog from the streets. He's
Speaker 2: very barky and growley, so I'm just trying to keep
Speaker 2: him under control.
Speaker 1: Now, Chelsea, you've done lots of things. You were beloved.
Speaker 1: I had a gig with you at Lago and you
Speaker 1: hadn't done stand up in a long time, and you
Speaker 1: were like, oh, I don't know, I fucking know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. And then you went on and was so
Speaker 1: insanely amazing and so funny, and then you came off
Speaker 1: and that was shit.
Speaker 2: That but that's amazing, that's so nice of you. And
Speaker 2: I really I think this is why I don't do
Speaker 2: a lot of stand up anymore. It's like I realized,
Speaker 2: like I just don't feel good about it. Most of
Speaker 2: the time. I feel good about it like one out
Speaker 2: of ten times, you know.
Speaker 1: Like as in can you see I mean I totally
Speaker 1: get it, by the way, but as in objectively those
Speaker 1: ten times you do it. In the nine times where
Speaker 1: you don't enjoy it, are you thinking it's going badly
Speaker 1: or is it going well and you're still not enjoying it?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think once you get to a certain
Speaker 2: experience level, you're not going to be like fully bombing,
Speaker 2: but it's not going to be exhilarating, like you know,
Speaker 2: the feeling when you feel like you have the audience
Speaker 2: in the palm of your hand. And for me, I
Speaker 2: just feel like, yeah, where we can go off on
Speaker 2: tangents and we're laughing together and stuff. That's the funnest
Speaker 2: time for stand up. But so much of the time
Speaker 2: I feel like a substitute teacher, you know, and I'm
Speaker 2: like trying to prove to the class that I'm a
Speaker 2: teacher or something, and it's just like thisses me out. Also,
Speaker 2: I'm moody, and I feel like moodiness doesn't go that
Speaker 2: well with stand up, Like you know, you got to
Speaker 2: put on the mask and dance. And sometimes I just
Speaker 2: feel like we're all moros certainly right like the times
Speaker 2: and they're like, no, we want to just be laughing
Speaker 2: and you're ruining our night out, you know.
Speaker 1: So I mean I have to I have to disagree
Speaker 1: because I think people love it. But if you don't
Speaker 1: enjoy it, that's interesting because you're very Vegas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think like the people that I see
Speaker 2: that get up every night, it's like they feel great after.
Speaker 2: And if I felt great after, I could see where
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I have an addictive personality, Like if
Speaker 2: I felt amazing after doing stand up, I would want
Speaker 2: to do it all the time too. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so is that why you've not been doing it?
Speaker 1: Much because you just don't enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Well, it started off like Brooklyn nine to nine. My
Speaker 2: call times were like six thirty in the morning, and
Speaker 2: I had, I think before that, had done my hour special.
Speaker 2: My only one that I've done, and I was like
Speaker 2: kind of on a roll was stand Up at the time.
Speaker 2: And then being on Brooklyn, I was had six thirty
Speaker 2: call times pretty much every day for twenty three episodes,
Speaker 2: you know, a year for five years. It felt like
Speaker 2: it kind of took the win out of my sales
Speaker 2: for stand Up in a certain momentum way. Although if
Speaker 2: I had been touring then it would have been really
Speaker 2: smart and great. But I didn't do that, probably because
Speaker 2: I had a small child and I was exhausted. And
Speaker 2: but yeah, I don't know. I know, don't wind dog,
Speaker 2: I just call him dog.
Speaker 1: Don't do it. You said you wouldn't say his name.
Speaker 2: I know his name is dog, and now it's out.
Speaker 2: Don't do it, please, you can't come here. It's a nightmare.
Speaker 2: I really don't actually know what to do because if
Speaker 2: I put him in a back room, I think he
Speaker 2: would just bark the whole time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of hear him say, oh great, all right,
Speaker 1: So maybe.
Speaker 2: Just shut up, all right, I will, but anyway, so yeah,
Speaker 2: then I kind of fell off. And then it's like
Speaker 2: you kind of feel behind because the peers that you
Speaker 2: came up with have progressed and you're like, oh, they've
Speaker 2: done ten specials and I've done one. And now it's like, literally,
Speaker 2: I feel like everyone is doing stadiums, like every community there,
Speaker 2: you know, he does stadiums. Now, I'm like, what, Like
Speaker 2: when I was coming up, it was like two people
Speaker 2: that could play venues of the massive size like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I still do like I did
Speaker 2: have fun doing the tour that I did leading up
Speaker 2: to my hour special, and that is a bit of
Speaker 2: a different feeling because it is like your.
Speaker 1: People, and yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe I feel like maybe I'll do it again when
Speaker 2: my son is a little older.
Speaker 1: I think the world needs you and it's important.
Speaker 2: God, this is the best podcast I've ever done.
Speaker 1: Now tell me this in other news, you've only made
Speaker 1: a bloody film, I know. Do you write and directed
Speaker 1: and you're in it? I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Actually, in preparing for your podcast, aside put from
Speaker 2: from like putting on tons of perfume, we.
Speaker 1: Could tell we can tell and we appreciate it. You
Speaker 1: smell it, mate, Thank you.
Speaker 2: I was literally driving from my workout to get ready
Speaker 2: for this podcast, looking at your list of questions and thinking,
Speaker 2: I'm really not a movie snob. Like know in my
Speaker 2: movie went to Tribeca, which I'm very thankful for, but
Speaker 2: it really was like a wake up call for me.
Speaker 2: Like I think, I don't know what is up with me,
Speaker 2: but like I just I was like, oh, yeah, like
Speaker 2: Tribeca or like festivals, like people are movie snobs like,
Speaker 2: but people like are so obsessive about films in a
Speaker 2: way that I really actually am not. I have my
Speaker 2: own way of obsessing about films, but it's usually about
Speaker 2: a line that's stuck with me, a character that's stuck
Speaker 2: with me. I think I'm more about parts and pieces,
Speaker 2: whereas I think a lot of people are about shots
Speaker 2: and are about plots.
Speaker 1: Shots and plots.
Speaker 2: You're a Yiddish podcast, shots and plots, But I'm about
Speaker 2: like moments, lines, characters, And so I think that helped
Speaker 2: me also understand like my movie's not going to be
Speaker 2: for everyone, but then for people like me, it will
Speaker 2: hopefully be for them. This is great promo for my movie.
Speaker 2: It's not good. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: If you like shots and plug it's not for you.
Speaker 2: Not for you.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I like simple stories, and like even being in a
Speaker 2: writer's room, like the pressure for stories to be super complex,
Speaker 2: and you know, I myself actually enjoy very simple stories.
Speaker 1: What is your what is your film? And what was
Speaker 1: the What was it like being a first time director,
Speaker 1: dealing with crew and actors and everything? Were you Was
Speaker 1: it a nightmare? Was it a pleasure? You know what?
Speaker 2: I really, I honestly really did love it, which you know,
Speaker 2: like how I'm very upfront, like stand up A lot
Speaker 2: of times I don't love it, but I really really
Speaker 2: loved it. It's like summer camp or something. Compared especially
Speaker 2: to television in which, you know, especially a show, a
Speaker 2: network show that's twenty three episodes. I mean that is
Speaker 2: like a major, major grind. Yeah, and as you know,
Speaker 2: I guess how many it's a ted last.
Speaker 1: I was, no, it was only ten, ten to twelve.
Speaker 2: Well that's that's perfect because then you can pursue your
Speaker 2: other projects.
Speaker 1: You can still stand up.
Speaker 2: By the way, I got a part in a Marble movie.
Speaker 1: Hey, congrats Marble.
Speaker 2: Marble it's a competitor to marble. That's one of my
Speaker 2: new jokes.
Speaker 3: Anyway, this is why we need this is why you don't.
Speaker 2: That's exactly why you don't.
Speaker 1: Wait.
Speaker 2: Oh so yeah, so I loved it. I mean I
Speaker 2: really did. It's funny like I went into making a
Speaker 2: movie like finally everyone will listen to me, and then
Speaker 2: you realize, no, there's all these experts and department heads
Speaker 2: and people who have vastly more experienced than me, and
Speaker 2: they have our two stick opinions, and they're good to
Speaker 2: listen to and they're helpful to have, so making it better.
Speaker 2: And now he starts barking.
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I want you to be comfortable.
Speaker 2: But can you hear him barking?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: If he's picking up, it's like I'm going mad.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What's funny about it is if I don't know
Speaker 1: what's being recorded, but from what I can hear, if
Speaker 1: people are listening to this just as an insane person
Speaker 1: who has an imaginary dog, that.
Speaker 2: Makes like, did you know she doesn't even have a dog.
Speaker 1: There was no dog. People are looking at scouring the video.
Speaker 1: I don't think that was a.
Speaker 2: Dog scrubbing through. Look there when she carries him off
Speaker 2: quote unquote there's nothing in her hand.
Speaker 1: She also just kept calling him dog dog. The name
Speaker 1: was dog, it was never a dog.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's actually absolutely mental. So where were we were
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 1: You were saying about department heads.
Speaker 2: You thought, oh, yeah, yeah, But then you know, I
Speaker 2: do love collaborating, Like I've been in you know, writers rooms,
Speaker 2: a lot of writers rooms, and I really do love
Speaker 2: the process of brainstorming with other people that are creative
Speaker 2: and smart, and you wind up at like something you
Speaker 2: wouldn't have wound up at on your own. So I
Speaker 2: do love all that. And I loved the people that
Speaker 2: worked on the movie, and they were all very like
Speaker 2: they added everyone added something special, right, and it's just
Speaker 2: cool that it's one month of like insanity, like I love.
Speaker 2: The pre production is like all this strategy, which now
Speaker 2: in hindsight I would do even more so, but but
Speaker 2: so much strategy and planning, and then there's this explosion
Speaker 2: of extroverted intense like I mean, directing is insane. It
Speaker 2: literally is just everyone's just like we're running out time.
Speaker 2: We're running out of time at every second. But the
Speaker 2: camaraderie and the socialness and also just laughing so much
Speaker 2: was so fun. And then The editing is probably the
Speaker 2: hardest part for me because it's so painstaking and I'm
Speaker 2: obsessive of like pouring over things, and I still feel
Speaker 2: like I probably missed a bunch of stuff in the footage,
Speaker 2: but marking every little moment that I like, and then
Speaker 2: you know, trying to fix a lot of things because
Speaker 2: there was a lot of things we didn't get. And
Speaker 2: you know, but making magic sometimes out of this, and
Speaker 2: that is also you know, it's it's a special alchemy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you have, because I do believe that thing
Speaker 1: of like you make the film three times, You make
Speaker 1: it preproductions, make it in the shoot, you make it
Speaker 1: in the edit, the final film that you have. How
Speaker 1: far away for good or bad? Do you think it
Speaker 1: is from like how you had it in your head
Speaker 1: at the beginning, Like when you look at the find
Speaker 1: and you're like, this is nothing like how I thought
Speaker 1: it would be, or this is very close.
Speaker 2: Well, well, you know, I think that one thing that
Speaker 2: I really wish I had had was a storyboard. I know.
Speaker 2: I've talked to people who have different feelings about it,
Speaker 2: you know, like some comedy people don't like it because
Speaker 2: they feel it makes it really rigid and stuff. But
Speaker 2: being that I was in the scenes and directing, like
Speaker 2: I really I had a very naive idea that I
Speaker 2: was going to be watching playback all the time, and
Speaker 2: I was not able to do that so do it.
Speaker 2: I mean literally, I was just fucking flying blind, like
Speaker 2: I really was. Like I learned, yeah, half the time,
Speaker 2: and like then in editing, I'd be like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I didn't know this actor was doing this thing every time.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it was an amazing thing, and sometimes like, oh,
Speaker 2: someone walked in front of the person saying their line
Speaker 2: on every take and I didn't know, So it was
Speaker 2: crazy and I definitely learned a lot. What I think
Speaker 2: is true to the original vision is the casting, which
Speaker 2: I really wanted comedy people like through and through, and
Speaker 2: I think there's so many funny moments. I have my
Speaker 2: favorite scene that I think has a lot of comedic drama,
Speaker 2: which is like kind of a tone that I really
Speaker 2: like and I like how it looks. Yeah, So there's
Speaker 2: a lot from the original energy that I think came through,
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of the tone came through
Speaker 2: that I wanted to. And then there's a lot I
Speaker 2: learned for what I would like to do for the
Speaker 2: next one?
Speaker 1: Do you have a next one?
Speaker 2: It's not on not on the books. No, I mean
Speaker 2: I certainly have not written one. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: the writers strike, great, and then I didn't write anything.
Speaker 2: So I have I have a number of ideas and
Speaker 2: one that I like, but I haven't like outlined or
Speaker 2: scripted it.
Speaker 1: So when you I've always wondered this, when you're acting
Speaker 1: but you're directing, are you in the scene like you're
Speaker 1: doing your acting but your opposite act to are you
Speaker 1: like with your eyes like willing to do that fucking
Speaker 1: in the scene.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there was some moments like that. Yeah, it's weird,
Speaker 2: but uh, I mean no, I think overall I was
Speaker 2: able to try to conserve that to between takes. But
Speaker 2: I don't know. I saw this play in New York,
Speaker 2: but it was an English cast. It's called like the
Speaker 2: Play Gone Wrong or something like that.
Speaker 1: It was something gone Have you seen it?
Speaker 2: It was pretty funny. There was lots of moments like that,
Speaker 2: where like there is one where this actor's like stuck
Speaker 2: in a doggy dor He's dressed up as a dog,
Speaker 2: but he can't get through it, and so the actor
Speaker 2: keeps the other actors saying to him like come here
Speaker 2: or something like that. He's like looking at him like
Speaker 2: I clearly can't. Anyway, we brought my kid to it,
Speaker 2: and honestly we were laughing way more than he was.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: I think just because performance nightmares feel really familiar for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, got many more things to ask you, But there's
Speaker 1: something I forgot to tell you, and I should have
Speaker 1: said to you up front. You have. It's not that.
Speaker 1: It's sort of much.
Speaker 2: Thank god.
Speaker 1: Well, on the other hand, you're dead. You've died, My god?
Speaker 2: What how?
Speaker 1: Well, that's the question workout? How did you die? How
Speaker 1: did you die?
Speaker 2: Lifting lifting too much poundage?
Speaker 1: What in your arms fell off and your bled you.
Speaker 2: Bled out, bled out into the gym?
Speaker 1: Fuck? Yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 2: It all just came back to me. It's pretty fucked up.
Speaker 1: Did everyone scream it with? It?
Speaker 2: Cool that? Like, even in the afterlife, I'm just fucking
Speaker 2: doing podcasts.
Speaker 1: The dream of millions, the.
Speaker 2: Dream, so there is something to look forward to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's it like on the other side, some admin
Speaker 1: and some podcasts and you have.
Speaker 2: To a podcast ghost casts?
Speaker 1: Do you worry about death, Chelsea Prey, Oh.
Speaker 2: My gosh all the time, don't you talk to me.
Speaker 1: Well, yes, I do. That's why I do this podcast.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about.
Speaker 2: It was about you worry about death. Yeah, you seem
Speaker 2: like you worry about death. And yeah, and let's say,
Speaker 2: before the pandemic, I was like, when's the other shoe
Speaker 2: gonna drop? And then the pandemic happened, then the strikes.
Speaker 2: You know, now everyone's fucking there's just no end. It's
Speaker 2: it all makes it feel like, wow, all my worst
Speaker 2: fears could happen at any time, you know.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, what do you think happens when you die?
Speaker 1: Do you think there's enough to life of any kind?
Speaker 2: That's a tough one. That's a tough one. I do
Speaker 2: love the idea of like reincarnation or some sort of
Speaker 2: energy exchange, Like your energy doesn't just disappear, it goes
Speaker 2: into like a plant or a tree, you know, or
Speaker 2: something like that. And you know, when my grandfather died
Speaker 2: when I was little, I would hold this little lion,
Speaker 2: ceramic lion that he had and talk to him at night.
Speaker 2: You know. So, I don't know. I do believe like
Speaker 2: when people I know have died, I will talk to
Speaker 2: them a little bit sometimes. Yeah, I bet you weren't
Speaker 2: expecting this answer. Oh yeah, and then I just do.
Speaker 2: I feel nature makes everything makes sense. So when someone dies,
Speaker 2: there's like there's some feeling for me that they still
Speaker 2: exist in nature or something.
Speaker 1: Do you still have the ceramic lion?
Speaker 2: I do you want to see it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I wouldn't see it.
Speaker 2: I'd have to go get it.
Speaker 1: No, you don't have to get it. But do you
Speaker 1: still think your granddad's in it?
Speaker 2: I don't really think he's in it. I'm not like
Speaker 2: knock knock. I'm not really three too.
Speaker 1: You're way hello. No, I don't now, Chelsea. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to not.
Speaker 2: I don't really still like hold it and talk to
Speaker 2: my grandfather. That'd be funny if I maintained that for
Speaker 2: so many decades. I think it helped me, you know,
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, right after he died. But no,
Speaker 2: I do like having things from my grandparents in my
Speaker 2: house and remembering them.
Speaker 1: I do. As much as I joke about it. I
Speaker 1: do also think I totally buy it, as in, you're
Speaker 1: talking to people. When you talk to the dead, do
Speaker 1: you visualize like, how do you visualize it that they're
Speaker 1: they're listening, that they're in the room, that they come
Speaker 1: visit like or is it not really?
Speaker 2: I kind of do. I kind of. It's like I
Speaker 2: kind of know that they're not necessarily a sentient being
Speaker 2: or something, but I just kind of think maybe they
Speaker 2: can feel it or hear it if you talk to them.
Speaker 1: Well, I got news for you, Chelsea. They don't know
Speaker 1: there is a heaven. They're listening, Yeah, they're listening. They're
Speaker 1: engaged in. Sometimes your granddad is in the line. Sometimes
Speaker 1: he pops in just to have a chat.
Speaker 2: How do you know?
Speaker 1: Because I run this I run this place, you run heaven.
Speaker 1: I'm sort of in charge of admin and whatnot and
Speaker 1: admissions and anyway.
Speaker 2: You're obessed with admin.
Speaker 1: You are welcome. It's just it's hard to escape, and
Speaker 1: you are welcome in Heaven. Welcome, They're delighted to see you.

Speaker 1: sat in Carbonara? This carbonara as far as I could.
Speaker 2: Say, Princess cake and Carbonara, ice cream, Sundays, Hot fudge Sundays,
Speaker 2: caramel apples with almond, roasted almond?
Speaker 1: Is anything else? One more thing do you like eating?
Speaker 2: You seem like you probably don't.
Speaker 1: It's not. It's not my number one exactly.
Speaker 2: I knew it, I tell you I have. I think
Speaker 2: I'm good at reading people. I knew you think about death,
Speaker 2: and I knew you're probably not into food that much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's too many other things to be into. Well, anyway,
Speaker 1: you're welcome in Heaven. Carbonara, Princess cakes, ice cream Sundays,
Speaker 1: candy apples. It's quite Oh, it's also got everyone. You're
Speaker 1: loving it and they're very excited to see you. Everyone's
Speaker 1: a huge fan. Want to talk about your life through
Speaker 1: the medium of film, and the first thing they ask
Speaker 1: you is what is the first film you remember seeing?
Speaker 1: Chelsea Perree.
Speaker 2: Okay, now this is really weird. Okay, I often feel
Speaker 2: this way. I don't remember my childhood, like I want
Speaker 2: to say, like the first movies I remember watching probably
Speaker 2: is like in high school with my high school friends,
Speaker 2: like Adam Sandler movies, right, water Boy, you know you
Speaker 2: got your water Boy, got your Happy Gilmore So it's weird,
Speaker 2: like I hate eighties movies, like all the ones that
Speaker 2: all these people just like love in general, I don't
Speaker 2: really love them. Actually, you know what I would say now,
Speaker 2: that I think about it probably the first movies that
Speaker 2: I remember seeing. I don't know if it's the first movie.
Speaker 2: Cocoon had a huge impression on me.
Speaker 1: I love Cocoon. Tell me. No one has mentioned Cocoon
Speaker 1: on this podcast ever. We've done hundreds. Of course, not
Speaker 1: about time. I mean it was time.
Speaker 2: You It was just an inspiring concept. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: so Cocoon I think big, you know, like conceptual as well,
Speaker 2: and also about aging. Two movies about aging. I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess as a kid, I was already worried about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, and ultimately I was right to worry.
Speaker 1: Okay, your instincts were right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: My instincts were right. So Cocoon and okay, Pee Wee's
Speaker 2: Big Adventure. I don't know what year that came out,
Speaker 2: but that's another early one that I remember. That's it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for coming. What is the film
Speaker 1: that scared you the most? Do you like being scared?
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't like being scared. Yeah. So what's
Speaker 2: interesting is recently everyone said Exorcists so scary, and I
Speaker 2: watched it like a year or two ago, and I
Speaker 2: was like, not really scared. And I think it's because like,
Speaker 2: I wasn't raised with Catholic iconography, Like I think that's
Speaker 2: why it's so scary for people. Twenty eight days later,
Speaker 2: I really loved and that's I didn't find that scary,
Speaker 2: which Jordan thinks is weird. But I didn't think it
Speaker 2: was that scary. It was more like intellectually like stimulating.
Speaker 2: But let me see, what did I write down? Oh,
Speaker 2: you know, recently, there's a lot of movies I walked
Speaker 2: out of, So recently Zach Kraiger's movie what is it called?
Speaker 2: I always forget he did a horror movie with.
Speaker 1: This off film? No, oh, sorry, h fuck, it's code
Speaker 1: with the Abba. Yeah, and yeah, it's brilliant. Was he
Speaker 1: fucking good?
Speaker 2: Okay? He showed us an early cut of it and
Speaker 2: I had to leave at a certain point, and I
Speaker 2: thought it was really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was like, I.
Speaker 2: Don't want to be this scared. And also like Airbnb's
Speaker 2: just feels a little too Like I don't like scary
Speaker 2: movies where it's like something I could be in, like
Speaker 2: an Airbnb I could be in, or like someone hunting
Speaker 2: someone in there. I'm like, I don't want to see
Speaker 2: those kinds of things. I walked out of Fight Club
Speaker 2: when that came out because I couldn't take the violence.
Speaker 2: I also walked out of Heat with it like someone
Speaker 2: got shot in their head in the very beginning of Heat.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't even I don't think I had
Speaker 2: a movie that scared me.
Speaker 1: Barbarian, Barbarian, Barbarian, thank you.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean I can't believe. I just couldn't remember
Speaker 2: the name. But it was good. And then once they
Speaker 2: started going down into that basement, I was like, you
Speaker 2: know what, I might not be able to do this.
Speaker 2: I was a good school.
Speaker 1: So you don't like seeing people be either, I get that.
Speaker 2: No, No, I don't. I don't like people being hunted.
Speaker 2: I don't like people being hurt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that. May I ask you, you're married
Speaker 1: to a man who seems to very much love horror.
Speaker 2: I'm you make well. First of all, his are more
Speaker 2: in the vein of twenty eight days later for me,
Speaker 2: where they're more intellectually stimulating, and that helps me with
Speaker 2: the fear. But when I met him, I mean, it
Speaker 2: was Key and Peel. He was like on camp Peale,
Speaker 2: I was on Brooklyn nine to nine, And I'm like cool,
Speaker 2: Now I'm married to like a horror tour.
Speaker 1: It's like a very different I love that you'd be
Speaker 1: giving him night skin. Make it less scary. It's too scary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that still feels that's still reading scary. Let's trim
Speaker 2: that up.
Speaker 1: Want to leave?
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, no, but it's hard because I'm like,
Speaker 2: I literally don't like horror movies, but I do like it.
Speaker 1: What about crying? What's the thing that made you cry
Speaker 1: the nice? Are you a cry? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So okay. The funniest answer to that is short
Speaker 2: Circuit too. That Okay, I thought the little robot guy
Speaker 2: was dead and then he busts out of the back
Speaker 2: of that truck and I was like, oh that made
Speaker 2: me cry. Oh you know what else? You know what
Speaker 2: might be one of the earliest movies now that I
Speaker 2: think about it, probably Et because I cried the net
Speaker 2: like crazy and also never ending story when that horse
Speaker 2: or unicorns like sunk into a bog or something that
Speaker 2: was a nightmare, So those were earlier. Bent. Have you
Speaker 2: seen this film Bent?
Speaker 1: I think it's called The Guys in Prison.
Speaker 2: It's a Holocaust movie. It's I think it's called Bent.
Speaker 2: It's a gay love story. I me and my brother
Speaker 2: were in New Orleans and happened to go see it,
Speaker 2: and I honestly felt like it was like being beaten
Speaker 2: with a crowbar seeing this movie. It was the saddest
Speaker 2: movie I've ever seen, And it was this kind of
Speaker 2: movie where we just walked around for hours afterwards, just
Speaker 2: absolutely melancholic. So that was really one kind of cry.
Speaker 2: Of Short Circuit, too, was a very different kind of
Speaker 2: I also cried a Glitter Mariah Carey movie where there
Speaker 2: was something like her mom was homeless, and also the Notebook.
Speaker 2: I wept heartily.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that, You're you're supporting Glitter.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: You know that the awful tragedy of Glitter, Well, I'm
Speaker 1: about to say I'm about to say, well, I realized
Speaker 1: the way I've set this up is problematic. Is that
Speaker 1: Glitter came out like a day after nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: and it became so it became on late night talk shows.
Speaker 1: The only joke was Glitter because there was nothing else
Speaker 1: to joke about. So for like, that film was like
Speaker 1: batter and battered and like because they couldn't make any
Speaker 1: other jokes. So I always felt sorry for Glitter because
Speaker 1: good or bad, it was sort of used as well,
Speaker 1: we got a joke about something and it'll have to
Speaker 1: be Glitter, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Well, honestly, it is crazy that how much timing matters
Speaker 2: for whatever you make, and with movies there's like all
Speaker 2: this lead time. I mean, just timing for art makes
Speaker 2: all the difference in the world, and that is crazy.
Speaker 2: I mean, I bet Mariah Carey was so bummed about that. Also,
Speaker 2: speaking of nine to eleven, I was also going to
Speaker 2: say a movie that I saw after nine to eleven
Speaker 2: was Zoolander, and I saw it in the theaters and
Speaker 2: I was you know, I had been in New York
Speaker 2: on nine to eleven and went to go see that movie,
Speaker 2: and I mean, I thought it was so funny, and
Speaker 2: I think in part because I needed to laugh so bad. Yeah,
Speaker 2: nine eleven, we're just talking about. You're like, do you
Speaker 2: want to come to my podcast? And kind of me
Speaker 2: on nine to eleven through Zoolander and Glitter, Glitz doesn't
Speaker 2: seem advisable, But yes.
Speaker 1: What is the film that you love? It is not
Speaker 1: critically acclaimed. Most people do not enjoy this film, but
Speaker 1: you love it unconditionally.
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting. I feel like there's a better answer,
Speaker 2: but I did love Walter Middy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that film so wide and the right lust.
Speaker 1: It was great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I don't know. I thought it was cool
Speaker 2: because it inspired you to live life to its fullest,
Speaker 2: and like how many movies do that? Like I don't know,
Speaker 2: I just thought it was cool, and I don't know,
Speaker 2: it was just funny because I walked out of there
Speaker 2: like you gotta live your life, and then like everyone
Speaker 2: around me was like not into the movie at all.
Speaker 2: So it was just like a real like shock to
Speaker 2: my system because I was walking out all full of
Speaker 2: joy and optimism and looking around people were like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: That film I really didn't get. It was one of
Speaker 1: them films I saw early, like like the day came
Speaker 1: out and I was like, this is going to be
Speaker 1: a hit. Everyone I loved this film, and then that's.
Speaker 2: What I felt.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: And then another one, my friend John Francis Daily, he directed, Well,
Speaker 2: we were talking about comedies and he was saying he
Speaker 2: doesn't do comedies that much anymore because they get so
Speaker 2: fucking skewered when you you know, critically and stuff. And
Speaker 2: he did a Vacation remake and he said it was
Speaker 2: you know, and it got shot on and all this stuff.
Speaker 2: So then I went to go watch it. Me and
Speaker 2: Jordan watched it and we were cracking up. It's actually
Speaker 2: really funny.
Speaker 1: You need to tell that guy. I would say a
Speaker 1: very large amount of times that film has come up
Speaker 1: on this podcast and people saying it's really film to
Speaker 1: the funniest film.
Speaker 2: People like it's that's so funny.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was cracking up. There was a
Speaker 2: lot of great jokes and really funny performances, so that
Speaker 2: that's interesting. I didn't know because I haven't had anyone
Speaker 2: mention it.
Speaker 1: To me, But that's interesting that that's come up with
Speaker 1: we love it. What about the other side that it's
Speaker 1: a film that you used to love, you loved it,
Speaker 1: you've watched it recently and you've gone, oh no, I
Speaker 1: don't like this.
Speaker 2: You know, before Sunrise, I loved it, Like I think.
Speaker 1: I was prob.
Speaker 2: I don't know what year it came out, but I
Speaker 2: was probably like college y, like just experiencing love, you know,
Speaker 2: so it's probably right at my alley. Like watching it now,
Speaker 2: I was like like a jaded older woman. I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is like some college kid bullshit or something also
Speaker 2: Bottle Rocket I loved, and then that I didn't feel
Speaker 2: like held up as well. I just showed my kid
Speaker 2: to Austin Powers, and I don't know, I remembered it
Speaker 2: being so hilarious. There's some good bits in it, but
Speaker 2: I wasn't. I was feeling it was overall more just
Speaker 2: like you know, big production, lots of you know, but
Speaker 2: the hardcore bits. But also maybe I'm just so used
Speaker 2: to those bits that I don't know. My son was
Speaker 2: cracking up at like the you know, I forget the joke.
Speaker 2: There was a whole He keeps reminding me what the
Speaker 2: thing is.
Speaker 1: But that's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, but those are my don't hold ups. Interestingly,
Speaker 2: the opposite of truth is true. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you ever talk about this on here, but I hated planes, trains,
Speaker 2: and automobiles when I was younger. I think I was
Speaker 2: too young for it. And then I watch that a
Speaker 2: few years back and I was like, this is so good.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 1: That is an excellent question that I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: use one day, So thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 1: What about what is the film that means the most
Speaker 1: to you? Not necessarily the film itself is any good,
Speaker 1: but the experience you had seeing it always makes it special.
Speaker 2: Well, you set it up a little different than I
Speaker 2: thought you were going to. But there's two that come
Speaker 2: to mind. One, when I was I think like about
Speaker 2: thirteen kids came out and it was rated R I believe,
Speaker 2: and so me and my friends snuck into it. So
Speaker 2: that was an exciting experience, you know. And the line
Speaker 2: that did you like it? I think I did. I
Speaker 2: mean there was that guy Telly, that character is like
Speaker 2: almost fuck dowsy O watermelon juice of dripping down the
Speaker 2: mouth and shit, that's the line that's stuck with me.
Speaker 2: But I mean, I think it was a that would
Speaker 2: be an interesting one to read watch, especially as a parent.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it was exciting and it was
Speaker 2: like I don't know, I think when you're a teenager,
Speaker 2: you want like things that tell it more like it
Speaker 2: is instead of trying to sugarcoat it. So I think
Speaker 2: that was exciting. Also, the Perfect Guy, which is a
Speaker 2: Michael Eely horror movie where he's the villain. Interesting for
Speaker 2: someone who's such a heart throb. You know. I went
Speaker 2: with a huge group of comedians to that movie, and
Speaker 2: so I mean, people were just being hilarious, so I
Speaker 2: laughed so hard, Like That's one of my favorite movie
Speaker 2: memories was going with a huge group to the arc
Speaker 2: Light now Rip and just cracking jokes loudly throughout the
Speaker 2: entire movie and crying laughing. It was. It was a
Speaker 2: great time.
Speaker 1: What is the film you must relate to, Jessea Corrett?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if I would say of all time,
Speaker 2: but the movies that came to mind with that question
Speaker 2: were I remember seeing LA's story and going, oh, like
Speaker 2: Sarah Jisca Parker, like she kind of like I felt
Speaker 2: like I felt like I was kind of like her
Speaker 2: or something. No, she was like kind of a valley girl,
Speaker 2: but like I guess I just kind of felt like
Speaker 2: she looked like me a little bit. And and there's
Speaker 2: a lot of funny jokes in that movie. So I
Speaker 2: think I liked that bean John Smelvich.
Speaker 1: That said my top ten La story. I love that
Speaker 1: film so hard. That holds up.
Speaker 2: And also like did he ever do it again?
Speaker 1: Like right?
Speaker 2: And did he?
Speaker 1: He didn't direct it, He didn't direct it, he writes it.
Speaker 1: He also made a film that I really love called
Speaker 1: chop Girl that he wrote. Is that really funny. It's
Speaker 1: not so funny. It's almost like the opposite of La Story.
Speaker 2: And now Star is a dead person? Right, Star is
Speaker 2: a dead person. Didn't she die in a car crash Danes?
Speaker 1: She's a right?
Speaker 2: Oh? I thought it was Anne Hash in that movie.
Speaker 1: Oh, No, she didn't.
Speaker 2: She's in some other one with her.
Speaker 1: No, he just dated her, I believe. I thought.
Speaker 2: I thought they met on a movie maybe. And Okay,
Speaker 2: being John Malcovich, I related to the Katherine Keener character.
Speaker 2: I was like, ooh, this is like I think when
Speaker 2: you When I saw that question movies you most related to,
Speaker 2: I thought about characters that I related to, so Katherine
Speaker 2: Keener and being John Malkovich, I think Bridesmaids. I just
Speaker 2: felt like it was all these funny women. And I
Speaker 2: honestly I had never seen Melissa McCarthy before that movie,
Speaker 2: so I was like, who is this person? Because she
Speaker 2: just like blew my mind in that movie. And I
Speaker 2: felt like it had such hard laughs and it was
Speaker 2: all women, which, like you know, as a teenager, I
Speaker 2: was seeing Adam Sandler movies with all my friends who
Speaker 2: were largely guys, and seeing movies that were largely guys.
Speaker 2: So like Bridesmaids was like revelatory for me and then me,
Speaker 2: you and everyone we know. Miranda July's movie, I did
Speaker 2: think was like cool in that it was so sort
Speaker 2: of smart and funny and weird, and I think I
Speaker 2: really related to her tone. Excellent, Oh my gosh. Also,
Speaker 2: I forgot to say that bo Is Afraid that was
Speaker 2: a movie I really related to. I actually haven't finished
Speaker 2: it because it was so intense that I needed a
Speaker 2: break and I was like, I'll finish this this other
Speaker 2: part of it later, and I haven't yet. But I
Speaker 2: actually was trying to write a stand up special that
Speaker 2: was very much like that movie Wow at one point,
Speaker 2: like a kind of an anxiety dream heightened reality anxiety
Speaker 2: dream where it was it was like a stand up
Speaker 2: special that never had any stand up in it because
Speaker 2: it got derailed instantly. But I never do it.
Speaker 1: Well as in you you don't get to the venue
Speaker 1: type thing.
Speaker 2: No, I'm on the stage, but then something happens and
Speaker 2: I have to deal with it, and then it just
Speaker 2: leads to a million other things happening. But it was
Speaker 2: very much and very totally felt like how bo Is Afraid.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, in my mind, amazing, that was a fucking
Speaker 1: film that I was like, this is amazing and where
Speaker 1: is it? Why didn't everyone kind nuts for it? Well?
Speaker 2: It is intense as fuck. It reminded me of Lost.
Speaker 2: Did you ever watch Lost?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So remember when they were like torturing people with like
Speaker 2: all these images and sounds in that. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you remember, but that's kind of how Bo's Afraid felt.
Speaker 2: I mean it was just like so intense. It felt
Speaker 2: like like crazy, like getting like five of the botomies
Speaker 2: at once or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The next question is the one that everyone really
Speaker 1: only cares about. What was the sexiest film you've ever seen?
Speaker 1: Chelsea Pray?
Speaker 2: I think Out of Sight, yes, with Jennifer Lopez. Correct,
Speaker 2: but it was very, very sexy.
Speaker 1: Does that come up a lot or not not as
Speaker 1: much as it should, because that is a very very
Speaker 1: good answer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what's funny. Also, Skyfall was pretty not
Speaker 2: necessarily sexy, but I just remember watching that movie and
Speaker 2: I'm like this, everything looks so cool, this is so cool.
Speaker 2: And then I think you said, like, what's the one
Speaker 2: you shouldn't have thought was sexy? And I actually we recently,
Speaker 2: I recently had a meeting and we were talking about
Speaker 2: a history of violence, and I was like, doesn't that
Speaker 2: have like a stairwell scene. I couldn't remember anything, but
Speaker 2: there was a scene on a stairwell, and he was like, yes,
Speaker 2: that's a controversial scene. But I feel like I think,
Speaker 2: I think that scene stuck in my head and perhaps
Speaker 2: a sexy way. I can't remember the scene, so I
Speaker 2: don't want to stand by it fully.
Speaker 1: Well. I think if I remember, he has sex with
Speaker 1: his wife on the stairs, but it's possibly nonconsensual, non
Speaker 1: consensual or bodyline, big.
Speaker 2: Rt me let me retract that. Then let me retract it.
Speaker 1: But I do.
Speaker 2: Feel like I can't remember. I have to see it again.
Speaker 2: I'll take it back, okay, but definitely out of sight.
Speaker 1: But what is your worrying? Why don't I mean that
Speaker 1: was a perfect worrying.
Speaker 2: Why don't Well, I guess I just don't remember the
Speaker 2: scene at all. So it's like feeling like you have
Speaker 2: amnesia and referencing something that might be like hotly controversial.
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, Chelsea PERETTI was the Yes, objectively the
Speaker 1: greatest film of all time, might not be your favorite, Okay.
Speaker 2: So this for me, this is the hardest one for
Speaker 2: me because I really don't believe in bests like best ever,
Speaker 2: you know, Like my joke answer would be The Godfather,
Speaker 2: because I feel like men are so into bests and
Speaker 2: they're so into the Godfather, So that would be my
Speaker 2: joke answer.
Speaker 1: Is this why you named your special that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: One of the greats? Yeah, like that energy of like
Speaker 2: believing you're the best and believing things are the best
Speaker 2: in the category and blah blah blah. So I think
Speaker 2: the most honest answer that I could say is Holy
Speaker 2: Grail because it's had staying power for me. It's the
Speaker 2: jokes have held up for me. I think it's such
Speaker 2: a hard thing to pull off, you know. I read
Speaker 2: about it a little bit more recently, and like it
Speaker 2: sounded like they had a super low budget. It rained
Speaker 2: every day while they were trying to shoot. Like it
Speaker 2: just seems like to me, like a perfect timing of
Speaker 2: this group at like their peak against all odds, making
Speaker 2: something that's so silly and has so many memorable performances
Speaker 2: and jokes in it. But again, movies are so different.
Speaker 2: How do you compare Short Circuit Too to Holy Grail?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean hard to say which is which is great?
Speaker 1: But yeah, but I think that's a very thoughtful answer.
Speaker 2: Is your best movie?
Speaker 1: Me? What do I think?
Speaker 2: Do you have the same one every episode?
Speaker 1: But it annoys me? You're right, A lots of people
Speaker 1: say The Godfather and it always annoys me. So I'm
Speaker 1: delighted that you haven't said that.
Speaker 2: But what's yours?
Speaker 1: Objectively? The great? It is not my favorite, but the
Speaker 1: great it's a guy like this is the best. The
Speaker 1: best of cinema I think is Don't Look now. It's
Speaker 1: a scary film with Julie Christi and Donald Sevelyn.
Speaker 2: Okay, I've never seen that, so when when was that made?
Speaker 1: Seventies? Late seventies?
Speaker 2: It's maybe I would like that, I think you would.
Speaker 1: It's more I would be lying if I said it
Speaker 1: wasn't a bit scary. It's a bit scary, but it's
Speaker 1: about stuff, and it's deep, and it's sexy and also
Speaker 1: out of sight, out of sight it steals from it homage.
Speaker 2: Is it really?
Speaker 1: The way the sex scene is and the way they're
Speaker 1: playing with time? Yeah, you might like sexy?
Speaker 2: Response? All right, Well I would look at that. I
Speaker 2: guess I could try it. What is it called again?
Speaker 1: Don't look now?
Speaker 2: Don't look now? So you say that on every podcast.
Speaker 1: No, I don't answer. It's not about me, it's about you, Chlse.
Speaker 2: This really is like therapy.
Speaker 1: What what is the film that you could or have
Speaker 1: watched the most over and over again?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think ironically it could be groundhog Day.
Speaker 2: Also Holy Grail. I don't like watching movies over and over.
Speaker 2: So those are the two that I could probably say
Speaker 2: I have watched repeatedly.
Speaker 1: Now, we don't like to be two negative, so let's
Speaker 1: not dwell on it. But what's the worst film you've
Speaker 1: ever seen? So well?
Speaker 2: I wrote down Bent because it was the worst in
Speaker 2: the sense of I don't think I've ever felt so
Speaker 2: bad after seeing a film, but it was well made.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: Another one is Schenectady. Okay, now this movie I'm sure
Speaker 2: you did. I could tell that you probably would. Now
Speaker 2: here's the thing. I went to see it in New York,
Speaker 2: walked out of it, couldn't handle it. Then later I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know what, this movie feels like it would be
Speaker 2: something I would love. Let me try it again, try
Speaker 2: it again. At first I'm like, I love this, I
Speaker 2: love it, And then very quickly it turned a corner
Speaker 2: where I'm like I am not this depressed, and I
Speaker 2: also don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: That's the closest to Bobie's Afraid of the Things that
Speaker 1: bib It's like, so it.
Speaker 2: Was afraid is a more accessible version. Yeah, that adds
Speaker 2: a bit more humor to it, I think in the
Speaker 2: little more. I don't know, but yeah, they're in the
Speaker 2: same wheelhouse. But also, you know what, this is another
Speaker 2: controversial one, but like the Lobster was like that for me,
Speaker 2: Like I was like tonally like at first, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is going to be so up my alley, and
Speaker 2: then as it went along, I was like, no, no, I
Speaker 2: just remember feeling it feels so unrelentingly dark, and yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I wanted more comedic relief in it.
Speaker 1: You know, speaking of weight, what's the film that made
Speaker 1: you laugh the most? Might not even be the funniest film,
Speaker 1: but you laughed, is it okay?
Speaker 2: So I mean, yeah, the Perfect Guy. I truly did
Speaker 2: laugh so much. But it's sort of external why Bride'smaids
Speaker 2: one hundred percent? Like when I think about what comedies
Speaker 2: have made me laugh out loud in my life, that
Speaker 2: is up there. And more recently, I had never seen
Speaker 2: dirty rotten scoundrels and why that? And yeah, that was
Speaker 2: that was a lot of giggles, a lot of giggles.
Speaker 2: There was a lot of I mean, I do like
Speaker 2: Steve Martin movies. So the jerk is a funny one
Speaker 2: because my family we watched it, We're like, this is
Speaker 2: awful when I was younger, you know, and then we
Speaker 2: were like kept talking about it and kept referencing all
Speaker 2: the jokes and then we're like, wait, maybe this is
Speaker 2: really good and funny. And then we watched it again.
Speaker 2: We loved it, but it was like somehow our first
Speaker 2: reaction was like we didn't like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just so you've been an absolute delight. However, when
Speaker 1: you were training this morning, and you know what, you're like,
Speaker 1: you're you like, they say, listen, can you lift three
Speaker 1: hundred pounds? And you said three hundred. I can lift
Speaker 1: four hundred. Put an hundred.
Speaker 2: Spit in my trainer's face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, three hundred, he said, get fucked. Put another two.
Speaker 1: He said, you know what, double it? He said six hundred,
Speaker 1: double it, and again yeah, and then twelve it was
Speaker 1: twelve thousand, twelve thousand kilograms, and you and you pounds
Speaker 1: and you come and you hold it and everyone gathers around,
Speaker 1: and your train is like, honestly, I have to say,
Speaker 1: I think this is a bad idea. And you go
Speaker 1: fuckingly spit this face again. He says, please stop speaking
Speaker 1: out her face.
Speaker 2: Her face fact, So I go, fuck yourself and then
Speaker 2: I spit in her face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you spin her face again, and then she goes,
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is we insured for this.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, you go shut up everyone and
Speaker 1: watch me lift and you reach down to your twelve
Speaker 1: thousand pounds and you pull up hard and your both
Speaker 1: arms rip out of their sockets and blood gushes out.
Speaker 1: Everyone screamed. Everyone screams like mcaulay cockin ah and you
Speaker 1: go ah like you're like you achieved it. You think
Speaker 1: you've achieved it, and they go no, look and down
Speaker 1: the phone.
