Speaker 1: clever boy and you're all you know, you got a
Speaker 1: good brain on it for the comedy, but you'll comedy
Speaker 1: both specialists, very emotional, very emotional.
Speaker 4: And then it was that put.
Speaker 3: It was not hard for me because I'd done and.
Speaker 5: Not emo and people didn't really care, like I just
Speaker 5: did the classic an hour of glib confident ideas.
Speaker 2: That I'd worked out and it's a because I'm a
Speaker 2: longer story, which is because I did Chappelle Show with Dave.
Speaker 2: I created Sposha with Dave, and so when I started
Speaker 2: doing stand up, people were kind of like, who's this
Speaker 2: guy thinks he can And I was doing it because
Speaker 2: I wasn't work with Day anymore and I didn't want
Speaker 2: to be a I didn't want to like work too
Speaker 2: much in show biz, so I was like, let me
Speaker 2: just be a comedian. And so I felt like I
Speaker 2: needed to explain myself a little bit. I seemed like
Speaker 2: kind of like a cocky like M and that, and
Speaker 2: which people thought I wasn't. I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm quite sad inside. So I'm I did it
Speaker 2: mostly as a explainer for who I actually am.
Speaker 1: That's like when I stand up, I did it to
Speaker 1: show people that I wasn't a terrorist, which was a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 3: Listen him from my head shots, well yeah, in your eyebrows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys can't see his eyebrows. Imagine if al
Speaker 2: Kada made eyebrows. Okay, if Alcada came out with branded eyebrows, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, not the worst thing I've ever heard, Like.
Speaker 3: Not that close to you.
Speaker 2: I've seen closer together and I don't know what you're doing,
Speaker 2: if they're waxed or what's happening.
Speaker 1: This is all on that sural this, but shaved them
Speaker 1: up in the morning and.
Speaker 3: Are but intense intense eyebrows. There's a word for you
Speaker 3: which is here soot h I R s U T E. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it just means Harry.
Speaker 2: But to quote uh the guy I already mentioned one
Speaker 2: stage Chapelle, White people have too many words for things,
Speaker 2: and hears soot is a good example.
Speaker 3: What do you make of I've been canceled culture? Thank
Speaker 3: you for ad.
Speaker 1: What now that you've done two shots in which you've gone,
Speaker 1: I'm a sad right, what's your idea for your next time?
Speaker 3: I don't act so strong.
Speaker 2: I look at these glutes a lot of glue shots.
Speaker 2: I don't have another sad premise. I may do a
Speaker 2: thing where I take it all back.
Speaker 3: That's right where I'm like I psych yeah like that good, Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like I take it.
Speaker 2: All back because I have not changed my mind. But
Speaker 2: I feel like the mental health movement in America has
Speaker 2: gone so far past anywhere it should have gone. It's
Speaker 2: so commodified. Like I was saying, earlier. It's like we're
Speaker 2: turned in an arms race on social media. It's up
Speaker 2: there with like astrology in terms of like goofy motherfuckers.
Speaker 4: Talking about it.
Speaker 2: So a lot of my new act is kind of
Speaker 2: about like how silly it all is.
Speaker 4: You're so like we need to t enough and stop
Speaker 4: talking about how I feel this is.
Speaker 2: It's more about, like there's a big movement for good
Speaker 2: mental health and sports in America, and I was like,
Speaker 2: I want mental health for everybody, but not athletes. You know,
Speaker 2: what I call an athlete with good mental health and
Speaker 2: assistant coach is.
Speaker 1: What I call.
Speaker 2: So like that's a total contradiction from what I've been saying,
Speaker 2: but I actually totally believe it.
Speaker 1: This Yeah, this is a great heel tad, as I say.
Speaker 1: In America. Yeah, we don't say it that much.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't you think you.
Speaker 1: People?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like people oh you over here at restaurants and
Speaker 2: some people with gas stations. It's a wrestling term and
Speaker 2: maybe it's like a real screenwriting term, which are your world.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so it would be a funny. I take
Speaker 2: it all back, Neil Brennan, I take it all back, right.
Speaker 4: I did great, Neil. That's thing.
Speaker 1: I forgot to tell you something, and I should have
Speaker 1: told you when I got it by your backside, but fu,
Speaker 1: I should have said it, earl, you've died.
Speaker 4: You're dead, You're dead?
Speaker 3: Oh fuck? Yeah I thought something was off. Yeah, do
Speaker 3: you know?
Speaker 4: How did you die?
Speaker 3: We are we talking? Are we you want to talk about?
Speaker 3: I wantska? Is that what this is about? Talking about? Again?
Speaker 3: This is yours your dream die, a dream death. Well,
Speaker 3: this idea of people's fear of dying alone.
Speaker 1: I do not share one hundred about it.
Speaker 3: Why would I want?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of cruel to have, Like, Hey,
Speaker 2: the thing you're most terrifying of, come watch it, Come
Speaker 2: watch me do it? Come watch someone you sent that
Speaker 2: you worship. Probably come watch someone that you like, you
Speaker 2: did like, Yeah, there's so many like experience the thing
Speaker 2: you're most terrible. It's like you want to you want
Speaker 2: you guys want to watch me choke and there's nothing
Speaker 2: you can do about it.
Speaker 1: Uh, you don't.
Speaker 2: There's no pine lick for this. I'm gone. I think
Speaker 2: it's rude. I also think it's uh notcissistic. It's not scissistic. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I also don't think when people go, oh you died alone,
Speaker 2: or she died alone.
Speaker 3: I hate, I'd rather I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna judge my life by it's like an
Speaker 2: amazing meal and then the dessert's not great, or like
Speaker 2: the last bite of the desserts.
Speaker 3: Not great, and that right, it doesn't like fuck the
Speaker 3: whole meal, fuck all of it.
Speaker 2: I'd like to die like old at this point and
Speaker 2: not not. I don't want any sort of decline whatsoever.
Speaker 2: So southern death, sudden death at like a hundreds, but
Speaker 2: that has that happening working to you.
Speaker 1: Hit by a problem, fucking right, your heart tach fucking
Speaker 1: so you're not alone unless it's dead by this.
Speaker 3: Point, which, let's be honest, probably.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a sexy Probably, maybe you break through
Speaker 1: the skin and it expeded you and you die.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because my cock was too powerful. Yeah, like it
Speaker 3: was going like hey hey, hey, hey hey. The last
Speaker 3: romances last words were hey hey, hey, hey hey. So
Speaker 3: that's pretty cool for me.
Speaker 1: It's not bad.
Speaker 3: It's not bad.
Speaker 1: Way to guy and you were a hundred.
Speaker 3: Okay, you do you worry about day? No?
Speaker 2: I used to not believe in any god or after life.
Speaker 2: Tell the people briefly, I did aahuasca a bunch of times,
Speaker 2: and then I did DMT once and it absolutely broke me. DMT,
Speaker 2: but when I was reconstructed eight months later, half a
Speaker 2: percent better every day for around eight months, I'm better
Speaker 2: in every single way as a result the DMT breaking me.
Speaker 3: And but from ayahuasca and ad that stuff, I.
Speaker 2: Believe in a god and I believe even U in
Speaker 2: after life. I'm like positive that it exists based on
Speaker 2: my experiences. So it doesn't mean it's true. It just
Speaker 2: means I believe it. But it's probably true. I come on,
Speaker 2: come on, look at me. I'm wearing a patirt. So yeah,
Speaker 2: So now I believe in all that stuff. But for
Speaker 2: a second, I was terrified of it after the DMT
Speaker 2: because my experience, I was kind of there and uh,
Speaker 2: it's incomprehensible.
Speaker 3: To a human spirit. So I was really terrified of it.
Speaker 2: But now to the point of I'm not gonna say
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not afraid of it.
Speaker 1: But when that sex, When you hear that, don't turns
Speaker 1: of the sex program saying hey hey, hey, hey hey,
Speaker 1: You'll be like yeah, all right, yeah, so you can't
Speaker 1: comprehend it.
Speaker 3: But but I'm not that you know. Yeah, I also
Speaker 3: don't think being a hurt person's easy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, straight up, I don't think it's like easy. So
Speaker 2: I don't know what the other what the next thing
Speaker 2: will be, but I I mean, look, help, it's you.

Speaker 2: was a re release.
Speaker 3: Like if you're young, They used to just re.
Speaker 2: Release movies in the theaters because there weren't enough movies
Speaker 2: and there wasn't enough TV, and there weren't enough albums,
Speaker 2: so they would just.
Speaker 3: Go like, ah, put that out again.
Speaker 2: So I saw Jaws in the theater, but it came
Speaker 2: out in seventy three, so or seventy five, so I
Speaker 2: would have been I wouldn't even too at that point,
Speaker 2: so it was probably seventy nine, eighty eighty one.
Speaker 3: I remember seeing et gotta say, not that into it.

Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Just like they lacked logic,
Speaker 2: which I'm still hung up on.
Speaker 4: That's quite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like either the first or second scene. I
Speaker 2: think it's a firstning like come on mom, it's the eighties,
Speaker 2: And I remember getting a huge laugh and going like

Speaker 2: and deal with it in that way, because it is
Speaker 2: a bit of a Vietnam situation where it's like, hey man, whatever,
Speaker 2: you got to exercise every day, you want to do heroin? Whatever,
Speaker 2: no one does heroin. But I'm saying like, whatever, however,
Speaker 2: you need to deal with it. You want to if
Speaker 2: you you go to therapy, you got everybody deals with.
Speaker 1: The different one. But do you want this view?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do you want like as in, if none of them
Speaker 1: at a Puvia game. Would you be like I miss
Speaker 1: my family or because you always seem by self blah blah, But.
Speaker 2: I think that family is like valuable, like as a
Speaker 2: like old friends, you know what I mean for like
Speaker 2: context or they're good for just like Hey, was that?
Speaker 2: Am I miss remembering that? Or did I really see jewels?
Speaker 2: Did I see jow? Is it possible? Did I love
Speaker 2: that line?
Speaker 3: At eighty? I remember not liking it? So am I miss?
Speaker 3: Did I? Am I wrong on this? Did I laugh just.
Speaker 2: As hard as the rest of those suckers at an
Speaker 2: eighties joke in nineteen eighty one?
Speaker 3: It still makes me mad.
Speaker 1: You said a lot on your podcast, looks that you
Speaker 1: want bone beds, good people that you work with, Yes,
Speaker 1: that you are like sad bone people.
Speaker 3: I think the word you're looking for is codependent.
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm bad with boundaries. You're independent dependent? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: a Yes, I'm like an avoidant codependent or independent codepend
Speaker 2: It's a good way to put it. I tried to
Speaker 2: rewrite it and realize what a fool I was for
Speaker 2: trying to rewrite the.
Speaker 3: Great bred Gold Simmy the Man's one Emmy None Where
Speaker 3: did you win?
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you've loved television. I love letters and arranging
Speaker 2: them in certain ways.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm getting better with that.
Speaker 2: Here's the issue with codependency, though, or with like it's
Speaker 2: the thing I'm talking about on the podcast, which is
Speaker 2: I don't want to learn some of the lessons I'm learning.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, I don't want to be I don't want to
Speaker 2: think less of people. I don't want to think. I
Speaker 2: want to think that relationships are infinite. But the lesson
Speaker 2: I'm repeatedly learning is like they're, oh, they're quite finite.
Speaker 3: People are quite finite.
Speaker 4: So like, is in your life you change, they don't change,
Speaker 4: they change, You don't.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's the line I cut from Blocks, which
Speaker 2: is like, you want to fuck up a friendship?
Speaker 3: Grow like you grow, they don't. They grow. I mean kids,
Speaker 3: people have kids.
Speaker 2: People get jobs, people move, people like there's a lot
Speaker 2: of complicators. And then I also have a hard time
Speaker 2: negotiating what is what I can ask for, you know,
Speaker 2: because you know people have different standards, and you go,
Speaker 2: am I.
Speaker 3: An asshole for asking for that? Or are you an
Speaker 3: asshole for saying no?
Speaker 2: Like if somebody doesn't text me back relatively expediently. It
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be like five minutes, but like you
Speaker 2: have to text me back at some point, like within
Speaker 2: twenty four hours, right, that's even Let's I'm being generous.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to seem reasonable.
Speaker 3: I think I ten.
Speaker 4: I think I missed one. If you text one, I.
Speaker 3: Don't think that's true.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't be here if you have Well no, if
Speaker 2: you want them, you get, you get one grade, yeah
Speaker 2: you get yeah, no yet, So I I don't know
Speaker 2: if I'm an asshole if am I an also for
Speaker 2: asking for that?
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Are you an asshole for not or should I just
Speaker 3: be like, I don't know many people.
Speaker 2: I understand people are busy, and I personally missed text
Speaker 2: from penitent I don't know. That's just that's kind of
Speaker 2: a bad knickknack example. But boundaries, expectations.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not great at it.
Speaker 4: Crying was the film that Cried and now you have
Speaker 4: there's a.
Speaker 3: Couple that come to mind.
Speaker 2: The Amy Winehouse documentary made me like yelp, cry like yelp,
Speaker 2: like wow, I'm crying hard, Like I'm crying a little
Speaker 2: bit thinking about it.
Speaker 3: The opening scene where she sings Happy Birthday and you're
Speaker 3: just like.
Speaker 2: What the fuck it's coming out of the small body,
Speaker 2: like Ella Fitzgerald's coming out of this tiny British body.
Speaker 2: And there's an athlete named Bo Jackson in America and
Speaker 2: he played baseball and football.
Speaker 3: He is professional and he was like a just a crazy.
Speaker 2: He basically injured himself because his muscles were too strong,
Speaker 2: and that's kind of what happened everyone else. Her muscle,
Speaker 2: her instrument was too big for her. Boy her experience
Speaker 2: like like they could, yeah for a human beings and
Speaker 2: even like well that should have it's actually a who
Speaker 2: wrote London Fields and Rachel Diaries from right British author.
Speaker 3: Yes, you went very British on the first pronunciation.
Speaker 2: He had an observation that actors are all short because
Speaker 2: they're basically six feet of person condensed into five foot
Speaker 2: six Like it's so you've got six feet of presents condensed.
Speaker 2: But that's what Amy Winehouse was like. She had like
Speaker 2: she had like basically fifteen feet.
Speaker 3: Of talent in a five foot body.
Speaker 1: It was like you in the afterlife, your buddy, your
Speaker 1: humanness couldn't.
Speaker 2: It was too much for the robot yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 3: And the other one anyone. I cry every time I
Speaker 3: see it.
Speaker 2: There's sections I cry in the beginning, I cry in,
Speaker 2: I cry the body bag, I cry it. There's some
Speaker 2: paparazzi photos where you can see her almost like pleading.
Speaker 2: There's a guy, there's a producer named Salaam Remi who
Speaker 2: talked about her like wanting to work with her, where
Speaker 2: they're like, who's gonna pay already? He's like, I'll pay
Speaker 2: for it myself. I just want to fuck with this girl.
Speaker 2: Like that makes me cry. Just the whole story is
Speaker 2: like just incredibly said. And then there's a This is
Speaker 2: where the codependency comes in. There's a movie called Clean
Speaker 2: and Sober starring Michael Katon about sobriety and AA. Somebody
Speaker 2: in AA like uses and gets in a car accident
Speaker 2: and it's a nice shot, so I think it's overhead,
Speaker 2: but it's like when I it was like someone I
Speaker 2: was counting on to not drink head drunk.
Speaker 3: My father's alcoholic.
Speaker 2: So that's why I get like a little when people
Speaker 2: have drug or alcohol problems that they can't either are
Speaker 2: not interested in or can't solve. Are they're not interested
Speaker 2: in solving or are powerless to solve it. It hits
Speaker 2: me in a certain way. It's a it's a hope
Speaker 2: that I have with most people. If somebody has a
Speaker 2: drinking problem or a drug problem and they tell me,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I have to divorce myself from this because
Speaker 2: I will. This will make me insane.
Speaker 3: Even I gotta be asked.
Speaker 2: When people lose weight, I can't even engage with it
Speaker 2: because I'll be If they gain it back, I'll be pissed.
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm alone in that one, because it's
Speaker 2: a bit of like, hey, everybody, it's a bit it's
Speaker 2: you're reminding me to a wedding and then getting divorced, basically, Like,
Speaker 2: I don't like that either, you're tricking me, You're wasting
Speaker 2: my time.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Well about being scared, what's the scaredy device? And do
Speaker 1: you like it not?
Speaker 2: I don't tel like you're changing the subject. I feel
Speaker 2: like you're rushing out of the subject.
Speaker 4: No, I'm not doing that. I'm just aware of how it's.
Speaker 2: Constraints of human of the finite. The movie that scared me.
Speaker 2: You're giving me nothing but go, I mean, get your
Speaker 2: shovel motherfucker England, Get your shovel. The movie that scared me,
Speaker 2: I believe it's called The Changeling with.
Speaker 3: No it's an old Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's like all in one house, I believe, and amity
Speaker 2: the horror scared the absolute absolute fucking like tar like
Speaker 2: to my But you know what, by the way, you
Speaker 2: know what movie newer movie The Ring. When The Ring
Speaker 2: came out, I watched it in a hotel I was
Speaker 2: on the road with Chappelle. I watched in a hotel room.
Speaker 2: And then maybe two days later he called me terrifying
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 3: You watched it Ring, didn't you like?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Like I that movie scared the ship out of me,
Speaker 2: like a nice a good scare and a good like
Speaker 2: a good a movie, a horror movie that's got something
Speaker 2: ethereal and logical. I'm like, yes, it's like if it's
Speaker 2: ethereal with if it's consistently ethereal, that's like you got
Speaker 2: me and with a good score, sign me up and
Speaker 2: has to I'm kidding. And an actress under thirty five
Speaker 2: in her prime.
Speaker 1: You you direct, but you don't direct films.
Speaker 2: No, I direct one Jeremy Piven car movie called that
Speaker 2: Adam McKay and Will Ferrell produced and Will Ferrell's end
Speaker 2: called The Goods and it came out in two thousand
Speaker 2: and nine and they were like, that's.
Speaker 3: Enough for you. I found directing it was for Paramount
Speaker 3: Division Paramount. I didn't really enjoy it in that it's
Speaker 3: just did you enjoy some of it? Aspects of it
Speaker 3: to how the thing was just stressed.
Speaker 2: It was a lot of stress. Well, I enjoyed the
Speaker 2: I enjoyed. I enjoyed the shoot. I enjoyed the It's
Speaker 2: just I didn't have much power, but I got the
Speaker 2: full brunt of the blank. So it's like, well this
Speaker 2: I don't like, Like why would I? This is not
Speaker 2: and I just dune a pup show. So I had
Speaker 2: like full up to a point. Say, I mean like
Speaker 2: there's an old Tom York one time said that Radiohead
Speaker 2: is the UN and he's the United States.
Speaker 3: Which is like the funny thing said, and that's with
Speaker 3: me and Dave's deal.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, you know, it's like if he
Speaker 2: didn't like if I didn't like it, probably wouldn't get on.
Speaker 3: If he didn't like it. It definitely so like it was
Speaker 3: his show. But I had a lot of sweat.
Speaker 2: So going from having like forty seven percent of the
Speaker 2: power to three percent was like, oh, this is not
Speaker 2: enjoyable whatsoever.
Speaker 4: And you you're you wouldn't want to do it again.
Speaker 3: I doubt it.
Speaker 2: I mean at this point, I don't really I barely
Speaker 2: watch movies anymore. I know it's insane, but I just like,
Speaker 2: I'm doing this. I'm pretending I like them for you.
Speaker 2: But I watched documentaries and stand up and sketches and
Speaker 2: like Late Night it's kind of more and this is kind.
Speaker 3: Of what I watched.
Speaker 2: And by the way, the best comedy movie is the
Speaker 2: last twenty years of all been like based on TV
Speaker 2: shows or at Team America forgetting some to America of
Speaker 2: south Park. But it's like it's basically like south Park logic.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's not, it's a it's I'm stretching the the metaphor,
Speaker 2: but like south Park movies were funny, Like, so, yeah.
Speaker 1: What is the film that you love Critically? It's not
Speaker 1: a claimed most people don't like it. You can keep
Speaker 1: it as a.
Speaker 3: Fucking idiot any given Sunday.
Speaker 4: I like, it's a shitty movie.
Speaker 2: I like it, I know, but it's it's the most
Speaker 2: cliche everything in it is a cliche. Yeah, literally every
Speaker 2: the guy's wife who's like you get out there and play,
Speaker 2: and yet it works.
Speaker 1: I buy it. It's great.
Speaker 3: I mean every line is horrible, like it.
Speaker 6: Just should not and I hate hates it like any
Speaker 6: given Sunday. Yeah, it's not. It defies every it's like
Speaker 6: way too long, it's.
Speaker 2: Like not shaped correct screenwriting wise, It's got zero redeeming qualities,
Speaker 2: and yet it.
Speaker 3: Totally works at chet. Yeah, it's like it just it's.
Speaker 2: Got it's got nothing going for it, nothing going for it.
Speaker 2: Like Jamie Fox and ll Cool Jay are in it,
Speaker 2: like who are sort of like from the same They're
Speaker 2: like the same type in terms of like like they
Speaker 2: both shouldn't be in the movie, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Does it did?
Speaker 2: Jamie Fox does has a Willie Beeman song that he
Speaker 2: was like super into Alpacino. You're not gonna believe this
Speaker 2: a little broad cam and Dia is like mad or no,
Speaker 2: she's an evil one. I mean, just like everything's a cliche,
Speaker 2: and yet I'm like, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really good answer. What about a film
Speaker 1: that he used to love? But your boys fings in you?
Speaker 2: But I feel a lot of those uh, eighties comedies,
Speaker 2: Trading Places is doesn't make sense. A lot of them
Speaker 2: just don't make sense, Like what just they would have busted.
Speaker 2: I mean, I hate drag.
Speaker 3: Movies, right, something like it odd to me. It's so awful.
Speaker 3: It's the fact that people like it. I'm like, what
Speaker 3: are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Like this is so fucking bad and broad and like
Speaker 2: oh and then like I'm wobbly and my heels and
Speaker 2: just like I just missus down fire. I didn't even bother.
Speaker 2: I was like, this is I'm going to punch the screen.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bite the screen. I'm going to charge the
Speaker 2: screen and bite it. If it's a drag movie. I'm
Speaker 2: just like, no, this is so dumb.
Speaker 3: Trading Places is uh.
Speaker 1: I came to it very late, wheneverone's telling me they
Speaker 1: loved it and I want to sit and I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: it takes an hour to trade places, an hour of
Speaker 1: people talking about let's make the trade places and you're
Speaker 1: like yeah in the title, yeah yeah, and then the
Speaker 1: second half is about beans or something else.
Speaker 2: Like it's also like the thing at the end where
Speaker 2: we're gonna stock and we're going to take trade and
Speaker 2: you just like.
Speaker 6: What now, this doesn't make sense, not for me that one, Yeah,
Speaker 6: what is the film that means the most of you?
Speaker 1: Not necessarily the film itself is good, but the experience
Speaker 1: you had seen the film make it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go ahead and say train Spot.
Speaker 2: Jam because it's great and the reason the short and me,
Speaker 2: me and Chapelle saw it and he was like, we
Speaker 2: could do that for Weed, and then we ended up
Speaker 2: writing hatpics, so like that's that's why. That's like why
Speaker 2: it's personal or whatever. But I like it's like an essay.
Speaker 2: It's very vignette, and it's like sections. It's like chapters, right,
Speaker 2: chapters with score and incredible sequences, and some of them
Speaker 2: are like nonsense, like the one where they moved when
Speaker 2: they just opened hot. It's like the last third when
Speaker 2: he moves to London, it's like that it opens too hot,
Speaker 2: and Danny Boyle said in a voiceover that like he
Speaker 2: was going for a commercial for London. It was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: fucking was weird. But I respect like the impulse. It's
Speaker 2: like you couldn't make. I just liked how sequency it was.
Speaker 2: The whole thing is like feels kind of storyboarded and
Speaker 2: music video ly in the best way, and then Fight
Speaker 2: Club same like same like oh like sequences and like
Speaker 2: this like montage when ifs thing burns down and they
Speaker 2: do the.
Speaker 3: Ikea ye pan which early.
Speaker 2: CG too, so like, and there's stuff that they sort
Speaker 2: of innovative things where they did they shot on like.
Speaker 3: Still cameras because the cool thing.
Speaker 2: I direct commercials and they'll say who would you like
Speaker 2: to be the DP? And the first commercial I director
Speaker 2: was for Nike and they go, ship is Jeff Cronoworth Okay?
Speaker 3: And I go, well, what's he done? They go, you know,
Speaker 3: bight Club. I'm like, he'll be okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he told me shit from that like innovative
Speaker 2: things to me.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So there's a push in on Helena Bottom Carter that
Speaker 2: it's like still shot, still shot still it's pushing.
Speaker 3: But it's she's moving right.
Speaker 2: I'd have to show it to you, but I remember
Speaker 2: Jeff telling me like, oh yeah. And City of God
Speaker 2: means a lot to me, just because it's the types
Speaker 2: of scenes back to back that kind of shouldn't work,
Speaker 2: like it's like a coming of age movie. And then
Speaker 2: it's the most violent scene you've ever seen.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Then it's like a great chase. And then it's it's
Speaker 2: like just so many cool freezes and voiceover. I like
Speaker 2: freezes and voiceover Like that's just my shit because it's
Speaker 2: like it's probably the most like stand up yeah, and
Speaker 2: it's also the most like it's the most novelistic. The
Speaker 2: thing that I don't like my movies is you don't
Speaker 2: exactly know what the life of the character is. You
Speaker 2: don't know exactly what they're experiencing other than like emotions
Speaker 2: on the face are like.
Speaker 3: I gotta get on that plane. I'll tell you why
Speaker 3: that there is a Harrison Port that you may recognize
Speaker 3: that from your work with it.
Speaker 1: Get on my plane?
Speaker 4: Can I?
Speaker 1: Can I get back on the play?
Speaker 3: I love my.
Speaker 2: Umbrella in the terminal, So voiceover the great thing with voiceovers,
Speaker 2: and they voiceover it's kind of slagged in the movie.
Speaker 3: Can you which I?
Speaker 2: It's like they always say movies that show me medium,
Speaker 2: not to tell me medium.
Speaker 3: I like telling people shit. I like Yes.
Speaker 2: I like Paul Schrader's movies because like he did Taxi Driver,
Speaker 2: he did a movie called Light Sleeper.
Speaker 3: He did he does movies where like you hear what.
Speaker 2: The character's thinking and I think it's like Kilsa, the
Speaker 2: best movie about alcoholism and codependency called Affliction. That's fucking yeah,
Speaker 2: it's excruciating.
Speaker 1: That movie.
Speaker 2: So I like movies that have a voiceover and a
Speaker 2: freeze frame and a you know interested Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well it's the Pills relates.
Speaker 2: In some ways the Heartbreak Kid the original, right, but
Speaker 2: what it's a guy who's trying to do the thing
Speaker 2: you're supposed to do, which is like he was supposed
Speaker 2: to get married, it's supposed to be normally supposed to
Speaker 2: and then he's just the end of it. It's just
Speaker 2: he's so fucking lonely, and he's like talking to a
Speaker 2: bunch of little kids. And my favorite ending, and I
Speaker 2: hadn't thought about this, but the end of Once Upon
Speaker 2: a Time in America. It's a de Niro smoking opium,
Speaker 2: and there's a freeze frame that makes you want to
Speaker 2: do opium, where you go like, boy, boy, that looks great,
Speaker 2: and like really perfectly perfectly happy. So I think it's
Speaker 2: they're both alone and one of them satisfied and one
Speaker 2: of them's deeply dissatisfied and yearning, and I'm somewhere in between.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Hey A guy this is ny
Speaker 1: makes a nice did his book cuts? No, I think
Speaker 1: what's the sexiest film? You have to say it's a.
Speaker 2: Gang bang and it's unborn hub type in gang b
Speaker 2: h No, uh, the risky business, I think really, I
Speaker 2: still think some of those scenes with Rebecca de Morney
Speaker 2: are like on the Train, it's such a weird movie.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a it's like kind of a comedy.
Speaker 2: It's not that funny though. It's like a producer. They
Speaker 2: guy produced that big, a guy named Bob Simon's. He
Speaker 2: produced a lot of Salmo movies as well, and a
Speaker 2: bunch of stuff. He now has the studio. He one
Speaker 2: time said most comedies take place during the day, and
Speaker 2: when he said it, I was like, the fuck out here.
Speaker 2: But the more I thought about it, I was like,
Speaker 2: he's right. Even the hangovers the next day. Isn't that
Speaker 2: fucking fascinating?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, And he's right.
Speaker 3: If you think about it, you're like, oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Because I didn't want it to be right, I was like, no,
Speaker 2: it's cool and night shoots and all that stuff.
Speaker 3: Day.
Speaker 2: That's why comedies are mostly kind of just bright, and
Speaker 2: they're bright and flat. They don't have to be flat
Speaker 2: but they're mostly bright, the Fairly Brothers being the best
Speaker 2: example of like a lot of primary it's bright, and
Speaker 2: there's a lot of like peach.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to find I'm thinking of spine. It's
Speaker 1: happening other than songs happening at night. It seems of
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so Risky Business a lot of night Ghostbusters
Speaker 2: four day And you think the endings at night.
Speaker 4: Seems very nicety.
Speaker 2: I don't remember interesting beginning is day library, nextterior library,
Speaker 2: unsuccessful comedy night seems very natys Wow. Yeah, No, so
Speaker 2: Risky Business is very nightty and really moody and really
Speaker 2: like Hayes smoke machiney. It's like a dream sequence. It's
Speaker 2: like an adolescent male dream sequence kind of so that
Speaker 2: and and the sex stuff is like really sexual, like
Speaker 2: really sexual. What are some common answers for this and
Speaker 2: tangerine dream music?
Speaker 4: Yeah, cominans is you know the mosque or it comes up?
Speaker 1: It up?
Speaker 3: Ah? Yeah.
Speaker 1: What the subcategory is troubling by is worrying? Why dunes
Speaker 1: the film you found the rousing you would show you ship?
Speaker 3: Can British people understand you?
Speaker 2: Because there are sounds where I'm like, what it's it's like,
Speaker 2: it's not a sex it's it's English, but.
Speaker 1: Not by much troubling, worrying.
Speaker 4: Why does a film you found a rousing?
Speaker 2: Do you think that there's a reason why your character
Speaker 2: talks nothing like you? Do you think that's part of
Speaker 2: the success of the character. Yeah, it's a different register
Speaker 2: the character. I've seen clips I this. I couldn't think
Speaker 2: of an answer for him. No, tons of shame. I remember, Well,
Speaker 2: it's when you're a kid, you're just looking for boob.
Speaker 2: You're just like on the hunt, and you can't believe
Speaker 2: them when you're when you watch like Late Night tell
Speaker 2: them here. We have to think called Cinemax a cable network,
Speaker 2: and you would just you could we would call it
Speaker 2: skin a Max and you would just it was a
Speaker 2: steakout for you were on a steakout for for for
Speaker 2: tips and like it.
Speaker 1: Was and they were it were always it was always
Speaker 1: worth it success.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember that movie called Amazon.
Speaker 2: Layman on the Moon had a bunch of boobs and
Speaker 2: it was like a comedy so that it was kind
Speaker 2: of fun.
Speaker 3: Airplane had boobs, said, I agree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and maybe the funniest movie shit, but it is
Speaker 3: a parody.
Speaker 4: And it's brightening it within the play.
Speaker 3: Itself, not exactly. I mean it's pretty.
Speaker 2: There's pools. There's like a lot of pools of light.
Speaker 2: It's a it looks like an airplane. It's not like
Speaker 2: sole plane where it's just all blown out. So yeah,
Speaker 2: like you would just look. I mean, forty eight hours,
Speaker 2: no trading places, Jamie Lee Curtis takes his shirt off
Speaker 2: for no reason, and she had the best like hall of.
Speaker 1: Fame, yeah, rest yes, hall of Fame. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So like that was one of those where it was
Speaker 2: like I remember I was. I watched it at my
Speaker 2: neighbor's house and it was rated R and I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm allowed. So they called my
Speaker 2: parents and my parents are like, he can, and I
Speaker 2: was like, what just happened?
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I still don't understand what happened.
Speaker 4: I think didn't care about you, and they're.
Speaker 2: Just, oh, oh that checks out.
Speaker 1: Well, it's objectively the greatest film of both time, favorite
Speaker 1: but the greatest.
Speaker 6: I kind of think City of God. I know, it's
Speaker 6: like you can have it, You're gonna like.
Speaker 3: I don't think it.
Speaker 2: I don't think it wouldn't I know it's in the
Speaker 2: top one hundred, so I think anything in the top
Speaker 2: hundreds fair game, like obviously The Godfather.
Speaker 3: There's movies like that that like yeah, I could, I
Speaker 3: know what you mean, or Boniflide.
Speaker 2: I think it's not amazing, but I don't think it's
Speaker 2: like the best, but I think it's like context wise,
Speaker 2: it's great, Like if you saw it then, it was
Speaker 2: great Chinatown. It feels like the afternoon in nineteen thirty
Speaker 2: nine or whatever, you like, it really feels like you're
Speaker 2: alive back then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was nothing to do.
Speaker 2: They didn't even have I mean, you go to the movies,
Speaker 2: but they didn't have tell that like they didn't there
Speaker 2: was nothing to do but China.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a bit boy, but that makes it.
Speaker 2: But the ending you want to talk about the most
Speaker 2: cynical grand the most cynical. Yeah, but yeah, like that's
Speaker 2: a that's an amazing movie. And then like do the
Speaker 2: right thing in terms of like effect on me, do
Speaker 2: the right thing. I'd put up there because when I
Speaker 2: saw it, I started like researching Spike Lee and then
Speaker 2: he said he went to film school, and I was
Speaker 2: like film school, and then I went to n y
Speaker 2: U Film School, yeah, so it was like, Oh, I
Speaker 2: didn't even know that was a thing you could do.
Speaker 2: And then because of that movie that I loved and
Speaker 2: then him doing press for it, I was like, ah,
Speaker 2: so it had like a arguably biggest effect on my
Speaker 2: life of anything besides childbirth and this podcast.

Speaker 4: the right thing.
Speaker 2: It seemed like that, well train Spotty or do the
Speaker 2: Right Thing are in that category. Oh good films, Yeah,

Speaker 2: also a movie like, uh, that's a what's your favorite
Speaker 2: slow movie? Any An? I hate David Lynch movies. I hate,

Speaker 3: There's no payoff.
Speaker 2: It's just like more more vibes and mystery, and I
