Speaker 1: a couple of times. You're right bloody laugh you the
Speaker 1: thing that I just found out which I didn't know
Speaker 1: about you, and now it's all I want to talk about.
Speaker 1: That we can talk about what a series bringing next
Speaker 1: to you. How is you do stand up? Or you
Speaker 1: did stand up? On your wikipedias that started stand up
Speaker 1: at sixteen? Tell me everything. I started doing stand up
Speaker 1: comedy at sixteen, and I would say about three to
Speaker 1: four years ago, I kind of let it go. I really,
Speaker 1: I really stopped doing it about four years ago, and
Speaker 1: I just never broke in. I just kept doing bringer
Speaker 1: shows where you got to bring all these people. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I have a ton of friends, and
Speaker 1: my film credits would also help me get film or
Speaker 1: TV credits would help me get some people there. But
Speaker 1: like nobody ever invited me to like be on a
Speaker 1: showcase where I get ten minutes with five other highly
Speaker 1: respected comics like that just never happened. So I kind
Speaker 1: of stopped doing it. But I love doing it when
Speaker 1: I did do it, and I kind of went from
Speaker 1: I think the first seven years it was me trying
Speaker 1: to sound like somebody else, and then like eight or
Speaker 1: nine years in, I really hit a stride of like
Speaker 1: this is who I actually am. I'm able to talk
Speaker 1: to people the way I would with my friends, and yeah,
Speaker 1: and that was really fun. You know, I did the
Speaker 1: comedy Store. Uh, what's the place in Santa Monica. My
Speaker 1: brain is fried from years of smoking weed. Um, but
Speaker 1: I you know, I oh the cafe. For most of
Speaker 1: the cafe, the comedy store, meltdown comics, Like there were
Speaker 1: places in LA that I would frequent and hit. But
Speaker 1: I feel like a place with the Comedy Store. You
Speaker 1: kind of have to like be their slave for seven
Speaker 1: to ten years to like become one of them, which
Speaker 1: I wasn't really willing to do. You know, if I
Speaker 1: said to you, I'm doing a gig coming day ten minutes,
Speaker 1: would you cool? Now? You'll kind of a bit more.
Speaker 1: Here's my hot tank on you. You'll sow tip if
Speaker 1: we had to put you in Monkareat. I think most
Speaker 1: people now you is a Vice series, very gifted, talented actor.
Speaker 1: He does very serious dramas. But I met you in
Speaker 1: two seconds and I was at least fucking funny, And
Speaker 1: who say, You're in my favorite comedy show all time.
Speaker 1: I think you should leave. And I think that funny
Speaker 1: you've ever had. I'm obsessed with Tim Robinson. I think
Speaker 1: he's so funny when I when I met him though
Speaker 1: that even when I worked with them, he was so
Speaker 1: kind of withdrawn and shy, and I think it was genuine.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was anything bad. I think he
Speaker 1: kind of seems to save his crazy either for performing, writing,
Speaker 1: or maybe his close personal relationships. But I just like
Speaker 1: meeting meeting and working with Tim for me was like
Speaker 1: how a dramatic actor might feel about getting to work
Speaker 1: with like ang Lee, Yeah, yeah, it was, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a big deal for me. Man, it's one
Speaker 1: of the best catches. You went, that's a fucking phenomenal
Speaker 1: say the best, the best. Anytime I'm depressed, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was having a really bad day doing press, which
Speaker 1: is a first world sent tens if I've ever heard one.
Speaker 1: But I was having an emotional sort of broken roller
Speaker 1: coaster moment, and I just stopped in the middle of
Speaker 1: the hair and makeup stuff and I go, I just
Speaker 1: I need a minute. I just have to watch this.
Speaker 1: And I've planned a sketch from I think you should leave.
Speaker 1: I did the Detective crash More trailer and then him
Speaker 1: talking at the junket thing, and like immediately, I don't
Speaker 1: know if it was zero to sixty, but like I
Speaker 1: went from zero to forty within five minutes of watching
Speaker 1: Tim Robinson. You know, it's a wonderful. It's really really wonderful.
Speaker 1: Little Buff Boys is maybe my favorite thing of all time.
Speaker 1: I can't get over a Little Buff Boys. I don't
Speaker 1: know him. No, don't pick him, you can't wait it,
Speaker 1: don't pick him anyway. The point is this so when
Speaker 1: you did Black Bed, which is an excellent show, and
Speaker 1: you did it with the excellent tarrent Edgerton, and you're
Speaker 1: both excellent together. So my sort of I genuinely would
Speaker 1: be curious, Tony, I'm assuming that's a very you're playing
Speaker 1: a very intense some things we haven't seen it. It It
Speaker 1: essentially a possible pedophile serial killer. And yeah, it's not
Speaker 1: the nice fun. It's very very intense. You have lots
Speaker 1: of very brilliant, intense conversations with each other, and you
Speaker 1: seem fun. He seems fun in real life. Did you
Speaker 1: have fun or were you very like like between takes
Speaker 1: so you laughing and you're messing around, or was it
Speaker 1: very like focused and moody like what was it actually
Speaker 1: like to make? It depended on the day man, As
Speaker 1: you well know, some days are lighter than others. You're
Speaker 1: an actor, so it's like if one of us had
Speaker 1: a monologue or we're just say something particularly gruesome, we
Speaker 1: will kind of keep our distance and just making about
Speaker 1: the work and right not go method where it's like
Speaker 1: I can't talk to anybody, I don't give me the
Speaker 1: cheese sandwich. Like. It wasn't like that, it was it
Speaker 1: was just us being withdrawn into into focus. But I
Speaker 1: would say out of every if there are five shootings
Speaker 1: in a week, I would say three of them we're
Speaker 1: spent cracking jokes or taking selfies or talking about movies,
Speaker 1: versus the other two where we were a little more
Speaker 1: focused in. By the way, tarn is really funny, and
Speaker 1: he's got kind of a smart wit where mine can
Speaker 1: be a bit buffoonish. He's got a smart wit, and
Speaker 1: he's a great singer. And you know, we really had
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, especially when we're off off camera.
Speaker 1: What was it like with the other prisoners? You're over
Speaker 1: there all the time with you? Did you overcome one
Speaker 1: big gang? Or did he never spats? Did they have
Speaker 1: a prisoners? I always talk to the background actors. I
Speaker 1: never make them feel less than I'm always thinking selfies.
Speaker 1: One guy I got his addressed and sent his kids
Speaker 1: a Cobra Kai picture and autograph. Like I try to
Speaker 1: crack a few jokes and chat with them and ask
Speaker 1: them what else have you been doing? Have you ever
Speaker 1: done theater? All right? Have you ever got a speaking part?
Speaker 1: But I also don't over engage, because sometimes if you
Speaker 1: over engage, then they're like I'm gonna send you a
Speaker 1: script I wrote, and I'm like, yeah, no, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: fake COVID and stars and keep you away from me.
Speaker 1: And that's not because I hate on them. It's because, dude,
Speaker 1: life is short. Time is valuable, and I can't even
Speaker 1: get my own ship made when I have like famous
Speaker 1: people attached to my movies and TV stuff. So if
Speaker 1: I can't get mine made, I'm probably not gonna get
Speaker 1: Ricky from New Orleans who did five Days on you know,
Speaker 1: fucking Blackbird. Do you have stuff you've written? I've written
Speaker 1: twenty one features since I was sixteen years old. I've
Speaker 1: written six original five or six original TV pilots, and
Speaker 1: I've written probably twenty five thirty sketches. And how many
Speaker 1: of these have been made? That is a stunny hit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it sucks, but also like I'm in it
Speaker 1: for the long haul. At this point, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: quit my job with six children, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep fucking going. I also just love it.
Speaker 1: I love writing, and I feel like some damn gonna
Speaker 1: wake up and God's just gonna throw a crazy blessing
Speaker 1: in my lap and it'll all be worse it in
Speaker 1: some really cool way. The thing is, at some point
Speaker 1: one thing you do will get made, and then the
Speaker 1: people will be like, have you got anything else? And
Speaker 1: you'll come in with the fucking truck for the scripts
Speaker 1: and guy, oh, I've got fucking something else, you fucking
Speaker 1: light coming shits. Well here's here's the thing too, is
Speaker 1: like some of them are terrible because I wrote them
Speaker 1: when I was, you know, twenty twenty two years old.
Speaker 1: But but I would say reason reasonably, there's probably one
Speaker 1: pilot and two or three features that are really good
Speaker 1: that are just kind of like waiting for someone to
Speaker 1: give a damn or give a budget, which is giving
Speaker 1: a damn. I became buddies with Mark Duplas. He and
Speaker 1: I are talking trying to do like a really low
Speaker 1: budget thing together that we can just get made with friends,
Speaker 1: and like everybody who participates does it for scale and
Speaker 1: then they get like five percent back end and we
Speaker 1: all share in the profit, you know, right. I like that. Ooh,
Speaker 1: I forgotten to tell you something that I should have
Speaker 1: probably said at the top. You've died. You're dead. You're dead, man,
Speaker 1: You're dead dead, You're dead. Yeah, how did you die. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's take a moment. Oh sorry, I'm sorry. This is
Speaker 1: when you when you die, you don't know you're dead, right,
Speaker 1: because you're still you're you're Give me those nbis, Give
Speaker 1: me those ABIs. That's so fucking funny. I die. I mean,
Speaker 1: do you want it to be painful or quick? I
Speaker 1: have an option for both. It's entirely your your choice. Like,
Speaker 1: this is how you either think you're going to die
Speaker 1: or would like to die. So let's say both and
Speaker 1: we can make a decision. My thought is, I'm either
Speaker 1: dying in my sleep at ninety three no pain, basically
Speaker 1: in a media transition from a dream about heaven to
Speaker 1: the actuality of heaven. Wow. Or I die from tackling
Speaker 1: a mass shooter off of a balcony of a hotel. Wow.
Speaker 1: Everybody's like Howser. Wowser died at fifty one, but he
Speaker 1: tackled a mass shooter and they both fell thirty two
Speaker 1: stories down to their death. Wow. That'd be dope. That's
Speaker 1: pretty Shooters aren't dope. I mean killing one would be yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, And killing one without using a gun would
Speaker 1: also be really great. It would feel like really like
Speaker 1: you made him quite a profound point there. Do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Some real die hard shit. Yeah
Speaker 1: fifty one you say, do you think that's enough? Speak,
Speaker 1: you've had it by then. It's not enough. But that's
Speaker 1: the idea of heroics. There's a sacrifice to be made.
Speaker 1: You die in ninety three in your sleep. It's not
Speaker 1: much of a sacrifice. It's pretty cush. Well. I don't
Speaker 1: believe in the peaceful dying in this sleep. I think
Speaker 1: that might be lads of pain. You just don't know
Speaker 1: because they were they died, you know, no one ever guys,
Speaker 1: Oh I died peacefully. You might like it, but they
Speaker 1: might be screaming on the inside. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Oh? Probably, yeah, yeah, for sure. So my
Speaker 1: guy with the tactating the mess sades. Do you worry
Speaker 1: about death? Yes? And no. I'm a bit ambidexterous with
Speaker 1: my feelings on death in the sense that I really
Speaker 1: do believe in God and heaven, and I've already lived
Speaker 1: a really charmed existence and I've been very spoiled in
Speaker 1: friendships and creative work, and the fact that I'm healthy
Speaker 1: even though I'm overweight, Like, there's a billion reasons to
Speaker 1: be grateful. But yeah, I feel like I've been given
Speaker 1: a lot, and I genuinely feel like something good will
Speaker 1: happen when I die. Having said that, every time I
Speaker 1: act like I'm willy nilly and super cool about dying,
Speaker 1: for every moment I say that, there's always another moment
Speaker 1: where you know, I get a headache and suddenly feel woozy,
Speaker 1: like like there was a moment Brett back like five
Speaker 1: years ago, I accidentally took a muscle relaxer with like
Speaker 1: a hard or a beer, right, and I called my buddy,
Speaker 1: who's a doctor, my buddy, Chris Archangeli. I immediately called
Speaker 1: them because I didn't know what was wrong with me.
Speaker 1: And then I realized, oh shit, I forget I wasn't thinking,
Speaker 1: and I call my buddy Chris. I go, I feel
Speaker 1: really messed up. Here's what happened. And he said to me,
Speaker 1: he goes, how many did you take? I said, like
Speaker 1: one muscle relaxer and like one beer or cider. He goes,
Speaker 1: how do you feel? I go, I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: getting a lap dance from a demon. And he said
Speaker 1: to me, he goes, Paul, there are senior citizens, elderly
Speaker 1: folks who take two three muscle relaxers a day with
Speaker 1: a menu of cocktails throughout the day. He's like, you're
Speaker 1: an idiot, you made a little mistake. You're gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: You don't have to call an ambulance, because I was
Speaker 1: literally ready to call an ambulance. So it's just funny
Speaker 1: how I try to play a tough guy and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I believe in God. Everything's cool, But like I definitely
Speaker 1: flip out on occasion when I realized, oh I could die,
Speaker 1: or do I think I'm going to It's it's it's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a dishonest amount of confidence I have.
Speaker 1: You know, but you think there's a heaven? Yeah, gune
Speaker 1: in my head. Yeah. I also think a lot more
Speaker 1: a lot more people are there than people think. I
Speaker 1: think it's a very inclusively place. I open do policy.
Speaker 1: Do you think everyone's allowed in? I think it's like
Speaker 1: open during the sense of like, even if you don't
Speaker 1: believe in God while you're alive, Like, who's to say
Speaker 1: that the mercy of God doesn't allow people in their
Speaker 1: final moment of breathing or death where God's just like, yo,
Speaker 1: I know, I know. Shit was fucked up with your
Speaker 1: dad and he abused you. I know that people what
Speaker 1: the church you went to were really judgmental and you
Speaker 1: stopped believing in me. But like I am not my followers,
Speaker 1: I'm greater than them. They're broken too. I love you,
Speaker 1: you want to come hang out and then like, we
Speaker 1: don't know. But if I was a betting man, I
Speaker 1: bet that God's love is unknowably boundless. That was what
Speaker 1: I would bet on. I love it kind. I ask
Speaker 1: the difficult question, then, is Hitler guying in Hitler and heaven?
Speaker 1: God says Avin sent coming in Hitler in Heaven once again?
Speaker 1: If I were to bet, I would say no, because
Speaker 1: I think he was bent on destruction, and I think
Speaker 1: there's a difference between There's a difference between being bent
Speaker 1: on the Hayden destruction or being a product of Hayden destruction.
Speaker 1: I think most of us are products. I think the
Speaker 1: ones that stick out are the ones who who are
Speaker 1: orchestrating and constructing and planning and doing so. I have
Speaker 1: a great great amount of mercy for the vast majority
Speaker 1: of people, but the ones at the very top, who
Speaker 1: have the most money, who pretend to care about people,
Speaker 1: and who all forever alter the shape of existence and
Speaker 1: the quality of life. For many, those are the ones
Speaker 1: that I go, well, they're probably going to fucking hell,
Speaker 1: and so you think there's a hell as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's kind of the Christian thing, you kind of buying
Speaker 1: them both. Love. Well, listen that, buddy boy. You're right.
Speaker 1: There is a heaven. It's true. It's so true. You're welcome,
Speaker 1: and it's busy. You're right, it's pretty busy. It's a
Speaker 1: little it's a little Dare I say it's a little crowded.
Speaker 1: You're like, I thought they'd be. I thought there'd be
Speaker 1: a bit more space. This is heaven. It's lovely, but
Speaker 1: occasionally you're like, you're sighing a bit because people everywhere,
Speaker 1: but it is filled with your favorite thing. What's your
Speaker 1: favorite thing? Puppies and babies. Okay, well let me tell you.
Speaker 1: There's puppies and babies everywhere everywhere. Yeah, I'm into it.
Speaker 1: You said it was crowded. It's crowded with puppies and
Speaker 1: babies climbing. I've reach other jumping around wanting your attention.
Speaker 1: It's great. They're delighted to see you, but they want
Speaker 1: to talk to you about your life through film. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine that? Weird puppies and babies. I'd buy it.
Speaker 1: The first thing to ask you is the first thing
Speaker 1: to ask you is what's the first film you ever saw?
Speaker 1: Paul Walter Houser, star of TV and film. I would
Speaker 1: say to the pug and the one year old, do
Speaker 1: you mean in deers or just in general? I think
Speaker 1: they'd go, you know what, let's hit Yeah. So in
Speaker 1: the theater, I think it was Home Alone. I believe
Speaker 1: Home Alone in nineteen ninety I was four years old
Speaker 1: and I saw it in a movie theater, back when
Speaker 1: you could smoke cigarettes in a movie theater. Wait, so
Speaker 1: there was a guy smoking a cigarette. There was another
Speaker 1: guy drinking a glass of beer. It was like a
Speaker 1: movie theater owned by mobsters or some shit. It was.
Speaker 1: It was pretty archaic, you know. And then as far
Speaker 1: as the first film, I remember seeing the Art Adventure,
Speaker 1: I guess I would imagine it was like The Little
Speaker 1: Mermaid or something. It was probably an animated film. At
Speaker 1: age two or three, did you guy to the cinema
Speaker 1: with family? Do you have siblings and stuff? He took you?
Speaker 1: I did, Me and all my siblings went. I don't
Speaker 1: even know if my little sister Elise went. She would
Speaker 1: have been two, but maybe I'm one of four. Older
Speaker 1: brother Matthew, older sister Julia, myself and my younger sister Elise,
Speaker 1: and our babysitter took us to Home Alone. And my
Speaker 1: mom was su propissed because it became the family's like
Speaker 1: favorite movie, and she's like, I shouldn't been the one
Speaker 1: to take you guys to Home Alone. She was really bummed.
Speaker 1: Uh do you remember thinking, oh, I want a bit
Speaker 1: of that when you went to the cinema? Did you
Speaker 1: think I'd love to be in this year? What is
Speaker 1: this magic thing where I get to partake in somebody's
Speaker 1: story and be entertained and then it becomes a craving
Speaker 1: where you crave stories? You know? That was my indoctrination
Speaker 1: of that. And uh and yeah, I mean my big takeaway,
Speaker 1: McCauley Culkin was not my favorite person in the movie
Speaker 1: even as a child. My favorite person was Daniel Stern,
Speaker 1: who of course plays Marvin Home Alone. Yeah, I got
Speaker 1: him tattooed on my arm with a bunch of other guys.
Speaker 1: These are my childhood comedy heroes, right, I'm reading this
Speaker 1: for their audio listeners. Show and Stan and Farley and
Speaker 1: Vanny and Carrie and Williams. Wow, do you know what?
Speaker 1: And well Martin Shaw, Ye, Daniel Daniel, Chris Varley, Vannie
Speaker 1: is that Ernie? Any guys to Ernest? Yeah, Jim Varney, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey and Monte Williams. No, Vanessa Okay, Vanessa Williams,
Speaker 1: Um no, I'm kidding, Serena. Um. I think Robin's the goat.
Speaker 1: I think Robin's the number one comedy drama actor of
Speaker 1: all time. Yeah, nobody did it at the height of
Speaker 1: like The Fisher, King, Dead Poets, Society, Goodwill, Hunting, One
Speaker 1: Hour Photo and then Missus Doubtfire, Morkan Mindy a Laddin Hook,
Speaker 1: which I know I'm not supposed to talk about because
Speaker 1: everybody talks about it, but I love her. We can
Speaker 1: talk about it. It's been a while, But dude, Robin
Speaker 1: Williams is the ge. He's the number one. Great Chap,
Speaker 1: Great Chap. What is the film that scared you the mice?
Speaker 1: Do you like being scared? I love being scared, not
Speaker 1: as a child, though, I mean the film that scared
Speaker 1: me the most was the miniseries of It with Tim Curry.
Speaker 1: I caught like five minutes of the film. I crept
Speaker 1: into the living room while my dead and older brother
Speaker 1: were watching it when I caught the scene in the
Speaker 1: beginning where he's in the drain and he's inviting the
Speaker 1: kid to come join him, and then his mouth turns
Speaker 1: into a giant like yellow fanks. I really kid you not?
Speaker 1: I really kid you not. That messed me up. For
Speaker 1: about a year and a half two years, I was
Speaker 1: so afraid of Tim Curry as the clown, and in
Speaker 1: that it went from me not being able to sleep
Speaker 1: at night and like praying to God being afraid. At
Speaker 1: about a year in I just started talking to it,
Speaker 1: the clown. I talked to it to try to take
Speaker 1: the power away from it. So I would act like
Speaker 1: I was undisturbed or undeterred by it by its presence,
Speaker 1: and would talk to it just so that I could
Speaker 1: then go to sleep. And I'm telling you, this is
Speaker 1: the mind of a seven, eight, maybe nine year old
Speaker 1: at the most. I never heard anything back, but I
Speaker 1: would talk to it as if to say, like, I'm
Speaker 1: not afraid of you because I'm making conversation with you,
Speaker 1: but like, I think that's pretty pretty fucking astute for
Speaker 1: an eight year old, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: you'd have. You'd be like, hey, I'm kind of sleep now.
Speaker 1: I know you're in here, but I'm not scared of you,
Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna go sleep. Something like that, combined
Speaker 1: with telling him when I did that day, like how
Speaker 1: my day was, like, he would let your pen path.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's call it what it really is. It's
Speaker 1: Stockholm syndrome. Hey Stockholm? Yeah, had nice? Did it today?
Speaker 1: That was your day? It never had a bit of
Speaker 1: beef and potatos. Had a bit of beef and potatos. Um,
Speaker 1: And I would make love jacket. No, I'm kidding, I
Speaker 1: won't take you that first. Um, but no, I that
Speaker 1: movie is scaring the holy shit out of me. And uh,
Speaker 1: I would say as an adult, the film that just
Speaker 1: I'll say disturbed me the most was Ari Astor's film Hereditary. Me.
Speaker 1: I walked out with two minutes to go. Something in
Speaker 1: my so you know when you have to throw up
Speaker 1: and you feel the like the warm spit come up
Speaker 1: in your mouth. Yeah, and your stomach changes, It's like
Speaker 1: a temperature change in your body. I had that moment.
Speaker 1: This has never happened to me since or before. I
Speaker 1: had that moment watching Hereditary. Where As the and spoiler
Speaker 1: alert if those are listening who want to see the film.
Speaker 1: Spoiler spoiler spoiler. But as the sort of spirit ghost
Speaker 1: body flies into that like a treehouse where they're bent
Speaker 1: down and they're they're worshiping mock idols of Christ, something
Speaker 1: in my body literally turned up like like a stovetop.
Speaker 1: And I walked out of the theater like I was
Speaker 1: gonna fight somebody. I was like, my spirit had been disrupted,
Speaker 1: not even my mind, my spirit. And I stood up
Speaker 1: and I walked out of the film and never saw
Speaker 1: the full ending. And I just assume that's because you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a Jesus guy. I believe that all people can
Speaker 1: easily have this holy spirit in them if they believe
Speaker 1: in God. And I and he was being openly mocked
Speaker 1: at the end of this film, and it was really dark.
Speaker 1: They were like macket bent down, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm fucking not into it, not into it. And I
Speaker 1: say that, by the way, I say that with no
Speaker 1: judgment on Ari Asker. I think he's a brilliant filmmaker
Speaker 1: and he made what he wanted to make and it
Speaker 1: was very effective. But not for me, oh Man, that
Speaker 1: film gave me proper nightmare, like that fucked me up.
Speaker 1: That film for a solid Wait, it's really too really
Speaker 1: fucked me up. That's the Mice skit I've been me
Speaker 1: and me and my friends. Really we were very negatively
Speaker 1: affected by it. For like weeks after we were all
Speaker 1: talking about it. Yeah. Interesting, What about crying? What's the
Speaker 1: film that might you cry? The mice? Do you cry?
Speaker 1: A lout? Do you cry? I'm a big crier. I'm
Speaker 1: such a I'm the biggest wos ever. It's a wonderful
Speaker 1: life consistently makes me cry, Like I've seen it thirty times,
Speaker 1: but somehow I right at the same parts every time,
Speaker 1: kind of unprovoked. It's not like I'm like getting ready
Speaker 1: to cry. It's like it just has the effect, you know.
Speaker 1: It's it's like I'm cutting onions all of a sudden. Sorry,
Speaker 1: you don't say onions there, right, scallions? What are they?
Speaker 1: What do you call him? Carrots? Carrots? Listen, carrots, corgets? Rocket?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I know, rioty shepherds fucking pie. Um.
Speaker 1: You know what movie made me cry to the degree
Speaker 1: that I was almost worried about myself. I saw Interstellar
Speaker 1: in theaters the Chris Nolan movie, Yeah, and the scene
Speaker 1: where he spoiler spoiler spoiler if by the way, anybody
Speaker 1: who's watched listening to this like you're a movie fan,
Speaker 1: assumedly like, watch these fucking movies. Interstellar has a scene
Speaker 1: where McConaughey is like a little mini ghost in a
Speaker 1: bookshelf from another dimension calling out to his daughter played
Speaker 1: by Jessica Chastain, and I wept, and once again, similar
Speaker 1: to the Ariascar thing, I wept suddenly. It was just
Speaker 1: like it was a sudden thing that shifted. And the
Speaker 1: only thing I can equate it to is I told
Speaker 1: my buddy at the time in the theater, sitting next
Speaker 1: to me and looking at me, like the fuck um
Speaker 1: I equated to this. I felt like I was seeing
Speaker 1: something that I wasn't supposed to be seeing. It felt
Speaker 1: like some it felt like some bigger, grander, secret truth
Speaker 1: that was being exposed to the masses. And I don't
Speaker 1: know why I felt that way, or I haven't really
Speaker 1: I haven't unpacked it. I'd have to rewatch it and
Speaker 1: kind of emotionally mentally unpack it. But but that really
Speaker 1: got to me, I really, I really, I wept pretty hard. Wow.
Speaker 1: And that's not even the same the same I would
Speaker 1: seeing you're talking about his when he's watching in the
Speaker 1: video of who he is, he's missed. I didn't write
Speaker 1: that as much as the Bookshelf. The Bookshelf because you
Speaker 1: saw another dimension you didn't think you were suppiced to,
Speaker 1: because it broke the natural loader of things in your head.
Speaker 1: Is that it's like a yeah, it's like a broke
Speaker 1: a spiritual fourth wall. It was really really strange for me.
Speaker 1: Do you watch Twin Peaks? Never seen the old or
Speaker 1: the New? Which I know is true blasphemous reality as
Speaker 1: a movie TV guy. But but I do like David Lynch.
Speaker 1: I've seen a few of his movies. I think I
Speaker 1: think that would ruin you. I see, maybe you should
Speaker 1: avoid it. What is the film that you love? Most
Speaker 1: people don't like it, it's not critically acclaimed, but you
Speaker 1: love it uncondicently easy. I love nineteen nineties family comedies
Speaker 1: like for Kids and families like an Obsessed Seen It
Speaker 1: a thousand times, Beethoven and Beethoven Second, which is a
Speaker 1: little edgy where Rice, Charles Gronen and Bonnie Hunt's daughter
Speaker 1: almost gets raped in Beethoven Second. Do you remember that
Speaker 1: I remember that she said a house party on vacation.
Speaker 1: That's no. I remember puppies. No, well, rewatch Beethoven's Second
Speaker 1: It should have been rated art. I love Cop and
Speaker 1: a Half with Burt Reynolds. Yes, have you seen and
Speaker 1: a Half? Yes, it's so funny that kid Norman D.
Speaker 1: Golden the third, the kid playing opposite Burt Reynolds. Incredible.
Speaker 1: I love three Ninjas. Have you seen three Ninas? Yes?
Speaker 1: Three Ninjas, Rocky loves Emily and another one is house
Speaker 1: guest was Sinbad and Phil Hartman house guests? Yes, house
Speaker 1: guest so so funny. Sinbadd Simbad wore the crown man.
Speaker 1: Simbad had the crown for a couple of years. He
Speaker 1: was like one of the funniest duds going, and then
Speaker 1: it kind of fizzled. I had the Sinbad, who I
Speaker 1: never seen live, would do entirely improvise stand up every
Speaker 1: single time. That was the word on the street. Same.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite stand up specials of all time
Speaker 1: is Sinbads. I think it's called brain Dead. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's incredible. Do you think he write it? I think
Speaker 1: he wrote it, but I'm sure he riffs during it.
Speaker 1: There's some stuff that you know is rehearsed just watching it.
Speaker 1: He does like a musical number to some motown song,
Speaker 1: and it's like it feels more like sketch comedy than
Speaker 1: done stand up, which is kind of what I relate to, right.
Speaker 1: What about a film that you used to loup but
Speaker 1: you've swasen it you gona No, I don't know this
Speaker 1: anymore for whatever reason. That could be the Pinocchio animated
Speaker 1: film from nineteen forty, the original Pinocchio the Disney Yeah,
Speaker 1: go on, because he's creepy as fun. Yeah, it plays
Speaker 1: like a child trafficking manual. It's the weirdest thing I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. I don't know how it's a family film.
Speaker 1: There's also just like in general, like there's something very
Speaker 1: weird about all the parents being dead and kids animated
Speaker 1: films at Disney. I just find it very bizarre, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would like I would like to know what because
Speaker 1: if something has done too many times, you just start
Speaker 1: to wonder, like these people have to be aware of it,
Speaker 1: Like why is that a consistent thing? You know, not
Speaker 1: as much anymore, but it was for a time. I think.
Speaker 1: I think that's like Oh, fairy tales though, and it oh,
Speaker 1: fairy tales of their parents are dead. I think it's
Speaker 1: not them. That's true, because maybe because it makes the
Speaker 1: kid have to guind day sounding because now he's looking
Speaker 1: after it makes perfect sense. Yeah, yeah, but Pinocchio, Pinocchio.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of Disney animated films. I love,
Speaker 1: I Love robin Hood. I think it's from the robin
Speaker 1: Hood one. I love, I Love Beauty and the Beast.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of great ones, but Pinocchio's kind of
Speaker 1: fucked up. Pocio's weird. What like I I got, I'll
Speaker 1: give you. I'll give you an example of how deep
Speaker 1: my conviction is on this film I got. I got
Speaker 1: an audition to do the voice of Jimminy Cricket for
Speaker 1: the new Pinocchio movie of Tom Hanks, and I didn't
Speaker 1: do the audition. I just didn't do it. I gotta
Speaker 1: something feels fucked up. Yeah, they were part of your
Speaker 1: trafficking menu. I will say, for the record, Giammo doubts Pinocchio,
Speaker 1: which I believe is now on Netflix, is fucking phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Five stars. That doesn't surprise me. I wanted to take
Speaker 1: my nieces and nephews to that in theaters, but we
Speaker 1: all got sick with people are having COVID and flues
Speaker 1: and colds and became a real nascy fare at the
Speaker 1: Houser House on Thanksgiving. A lot of sickies. That sounds grass.
Speaker 1: What is the why is the film that made its
Speaker 1: device to you? Not necessarily the film itself is any good,
Speaker 1: but the experience you had around seeing the film will
Speaker 1: always make it special to you. Poof to Hauzar, what's that?
Speaker 1: I would save the remake of The Lion King from
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That was the movie my wife and I
Speaker 1: saw on our first date. No way, that's nice. It's
Speaker 1: very nice, very nice that we went and saw it
Speaker 1: at the Midtown Arts Cinema in Atlanta, Georgia, while I
Speaker 1: was shooting Richard Jewel the Eastwood thing I did. So
Speaker 1: that will forever be a very important film. And I
Speaker 1: love the original the cartoon, which is technically better than
Speaker 1: the live action, but you know, it's it's still a
Speaker 1: good movie. That you went dating, then, yeah, you did
Speaker 1: you kiss that day on the first day? No No.
Speaker 1: I really deemed her to be a pretty conservative woman
Speaker 1: in some regard, and she was in the dating sense
Speaker 1: of like, hey, I'm not just gonna, you know, go
Speaker 1: home with you type of thing. I did put my
Speaker 1: arm around he at one point, and I definitely bought
Speaker 1: a glass of wine at the theater drinking wine watching Lionkin.
Speaker 1: Did you put your own around during can you feel
Speaker 1: they left tonight? Did you time it or was it
Speaker 1: during a stamp page? No? But I did do the popcorn.
Speaker 1: I did do the popcorn trip though. Okay, that's fine. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I will also say that two experiences that were very
Speaker 1: important to me film wise were Children of Men, Love
Speaker 1: It and Napoleon Dynamite. I saw a Children of Men
Speaker 1: in Napoleon Dynamite three times each and I took new
Speaker 1: people every time I saw it. That's how passionately I
Speaker 1: felt about those movies. Good Time the Safty brother movie.
Speaker 1: I saw that three I saw that three times in theaters,
Speaker 1: and I took new people every time. And like that's
Speaker 1: kind of the benchmark of whether or not I think
Speaker 1: a movies truly extraordinary, as if I keep going to
Speaker 1: see it in theaters and new people. Can I ask
Speaker 1: you a question, maybe you don't answer it. I didn't know.
Speaker 1: If you don't, we can cut it. How was Clint Eastwood?
Speaker 1: Was that an easy film? I hear he does two
Speaker 1: takes one take? Was it lovely or was it tough? Scary? Lovely?
Speaker 1: Tough and scary? Because I was starring in a forty
Speaker 1: million dollar Warner Brothers biopick directed by Clint Eastwood, that
Speaker 1: was why it was scary and top But the actual
Speaker 1: on set environment was amazing, radio great. His crew is
Speaker 1: like a family. Clint only does like one or two takes.
Speaker 1: He tries to keep it to one. But his camera
Speaker 1: operator Steve Campanelli, who was one of the best in
Speaker 1: the game, he always tries to push Clint to do
Speaker 1: another one just for everyone's sake, and he'll say stuff like, hey, boss,
Speaker 1: I think we can get that pan or that tilt better.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I got that perfectly that sun or
Speaker 1: you know, blame it on the focused puller, so we'll
Speaker 1: do another one. But yeah, I love working with Clint.
Speaker 1: He threw great dinner parties. He was very self deprecating,
Speaker 1: very cool, and for whatever reason, he barely knew me,
Speaker 1: but he had a hunch and he vouched for me
Speaker 1: to the studio when they wanted a movie star, he said,
Speaker 1: I want Paul Hauser, which is crazy love that what
Speaker 1: is the film you might relate to say, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say Waiting for Guffman. Waiting for Guffman from Christopher Guest
Speaker 1: was one of those one of those moments where I
Speaker 1: watched a movie and I said, this is my exact
Speaker 1: sense of humor. I love that people are giving committed,
Speaker 1: straight performances. I'll be it funny and that kind of
Speaker 1: stripped down budget ensemble thing like that's to me. If
Speaker 1: I could just make those movies for the rest of
Speaker 1: my life, I'd be fun I would love that. Love
Speaker 1: it is why people chain in here. We guy, what's
Speaker 1: the sexiest film you've ever seen? And the Lion King.
Speaker 1: There's a lot, there's a lot. Part of it's you know,
Speaker 1: I went back and forth. I'm possibly telling you Collateral,
Speaker 1: the Michael Mann film from two thousand and four, because
Speaker 1: the whole time I'm just thinking our Jamie and Tom
Speaker 1: gonna get it on in the taxi carum and I
Speaker 1: know I'm not the only one. Yeah, it's tense. It's
Speaker 1: tense between delicious. I'm with the salt and pepper hair,
Speaker 1: just waiting for him to choke Jamie while mounting him.
Speaker 1: Ten I'm gonna say. In the movie The Mask, I
Speaker 1: remember seeing the mask of Jim Carrey when I was
Speaker 1: probably ten years old or nine, and Cameron Diaz's performance
Speaker 1: in the film and how they kind of captured her
Speaker 1: on screen. I think that was kind of a growing
Speaker 1: up moment for me of being like women take care
Speaker 1: of children to being like, I want to have sex
Speaker 1: with a woman. You know what I mean? That entrance,
Speaker 1: the one shot, I don't believe it's a steadicam or
Speaker 1: it's a crane that rushes towards Camerdez guys up by
Speaker 1: leg over a boddy to her face, she shakes her hair.
Speaker 1: I'd say that's the defining moment in half the world,
Speaker 1: in half the population of the world. That image, that
Speaker 1: shot is see it into our brains forever. What's crazy
Speaker 1: is I know what you mean? And if there are
Speaker 1: going to be people that listen to this who are like,
Speaker 1: he's being funny, and there are going to be other things,
Speaker 1: go no, and my grandfather, my dad mean, someday my
Speaker 1: son will see it. He will be Yeah, you will
Speaker 1: be affected in the same way that nine other generations were.
Speaker 1: It's it wouldn't you really think that it's like it
Speaker 1: is powerful. That is a powerful place of for this.
Speaker 1: It's very powerful in the same way that's seeing something
Speaker 1: shocking or upsetting might stay with you. That image is forever.
Speaker 1: I think the reason I think it's powerful is not
Speaker 1: because of what it purely is. You know. Really, it's
Speaker 1: just like, here is a beautiful woman. But what it is,
Speaker 1: what it is for men, is in our psyche at
Speaker 1: that time, we're going, Wow, if I could only be
Speaker 1: with somebody who looked like that. So it's not even
Speaker 1: about the image. It's about some weird aspirational thing in
Speaker 1: which men are like, I want to play the human lottery,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. There's something sick there. There's
Speaker 1: something really sick there. Oh yeah, it's definitely no way.
Speaker 1: Speaking of sick, what's that? There's a subcategory traveling by
Speaker 1: and is worrying? Why dunes? What's the film? You found
Speaker 1: it rousing that you went? Sure you should? Eric, he
Speaker 1: put the bunny back in the box? No um, I
Speaker 1: that is very euphemistic phrase. No con Eric's a bunch
Speaker 1: of dudes. We're all like, we're finally out of prison.
Speaker 1: Instead of getting laid, we're all gonna be on this
Speaker 1: plane together, which is kind of dick shaped, and uh,
Speaker 1: we're all excited about freedom, but we're not really experiencing
Speaker 1: it yet. This is kind of like a prison in
Speaker 1: the air. Yeah, you like men in confined spaces. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: reservoir dogs. That's kind of sexy. We're all wearing suits,
Speaker 1: We're gonna kill each other and were part of a team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll split the diamonds of you. We'll run off
Speaker 1: together and split the money two ways instead of five.
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, there's an energy there, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, tense, you like tension between men in
Speaker 1: confined spaces. I mean, Black Pep would be on your
Speaker 1: list if you went in it. Maybe it is. It's
Speaker 1: a weird sexual energy in Blackbird. Yeah, it's a weird,
Speaker 1: like funny thing of like these guys who are you know?
Speaker 1: I think my character at least has like a weird
Speaker 1: affection toward Jimmy that like starts off like you're the bully,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm the nerd. We're from different tribes, and then
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we can become friends, and then they
Speaker 1: start talking talking about weird stuff with women. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's like it almost becomes this thing of like sharing
Speaker 1: my perversity. It's like almost weirdly sexually tense in a way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's Yeah, I think that's true. What is
Speaker 1: objectively the greatest film ever? Objectively? It might not be
Speaker 1: your favorite, but it's the greatest. I would probably say
Speaker 1: Sidney Lamitz and Patty Schaevsky's Network. Excellent answer. That has
Speaker 1: I don't think ever come up on this podcast. Ten
Speaker 1: points for you. Pretty prophetic film. Yeah, great answer. You've
Speaker 1: seen that a lot, probably twice. It's the kind of
Speaker 1: film that the first time I saw it, I was
Speaker 1: just jaw dropped. Second time I saw it, I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: this is as good as I remember. I'm excited for
Speaker 1: the third. What is the film you could or have?
Speaker 1: What's the most ever and ever? Again? I mean Christmas
Speaker 1: movies are often what I watched the most because it's
Speaker 1: a yearly watch. But I'd rather go to nine Christmas
Speaker 1: film and say days didn't confuse. Really, I adore hangout movie.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with hangout movies. I love them, Empire Records,
Speaker 1: American Graffiti, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Once upon a
Speaker 1: Time in Hollywood Diner. Like I love hangout movies, Love Dinah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: love Dinah. What about Dina to be negative pole to?
Speaker 1: So we do it fairly quick. What's the West family
Speaker 1: ever say? There is a film that was made, I
Speaker 1: believe in South Africa by an independent financier and the
Speaker 1: foreign wealthy financier who made this film thought, oh, we're
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna piggyback off the success of ET and
Speaker 1: we're gonna make this um this other alien adventure film,
Speaker 1: and it was called Nuki. I think the most famous
Speaker 1: people in the film are probably Glennis John's from Mary
Speaker 1: Poppins and Steve rails Back. Not a real famous cast.
Speaker 1: But this movie Nuki and Ukie is the craziest, worst
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen, but also to the degree that,
Speaker 1: like I've made so many people watch it with me
Speaker 1: and just they're laughing thirty percent of the time, thirty
Speaker 1: percent of the time they're laughing, and seventy percent of
Speaker 1: the time they hate me and they're angry. It's it's
Speaker 1: pretty great when you wait on your first night with
Speaker 1: your wife, you've met it before you No, we met
Speaker 1: on a dating app called Hinge. She met on the app,
Speaker 1: but she'd been chatting for a bit and then you're like,
Speaker 1: let's go see Lion King. How much time did you
Speaker 1: spend together before you went into the cinema. Well, we
Speaker 1: had dinner before. I bought her dinner at a topless
Speaker 1: place topas tapas, not topless. I bought her dinner at
Speaker 1: a tapas place called who is but Hooters Chicken Wings, Owls,
Speaker 1: not breass a place, A place called Bulla in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: It's a really good tapas place. We had a good meal.
Speaker 1: She showed up late because she was in traffic, and uh,
Speaker 1: I think she showed up like thirty minutes late, so
Speaker 1: we really only had about forty minutes forty five minutes,
Speaker 1: I would say, of dinner, and then we headed to
Speaker 1: the theater. I think she just wanted to talk more,
Speaker 1: but I was helped. And so I'm going to a movie.
Speaker 1: You realize the Lion King. Stop talking. It's the Lion
Speaker 1: King bit. I want to know what happens. It's the
Speaker 1: same as the animated. Shut the fuck up. If this
Speaker 1: is gonna work, You're not gonna talk through films, Okay.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately that is kind of a deal breaker with me,
Speaker 1: where like I'll answer, I'll give a ratio where it's
Speaker 1: like you get to ask a question every seven or
Speaker 1: eight minutes. I can do seven to eight minutes. That's
Speaker 1: but well, I'm merciful. I get one, you get one,
Speaker 1: you get one, you get one. And even that I'm
Speaker 1: mad about. I'm really mad. And when I answer it,
Speaker 1: which I will, I'll do it with a death stet.
Speaker 1: The worst is when you watch it with somebody's parents
Speaker 1: or your own parents, because they want to ask a
Speaker 1: question every forty five seconds. It's like a third grader
Speaker 1: trying to do the math of the university student. It's
Speaker 1: the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. It's
Speaker 1: so bizarre, it's unacceptable. It's like they're not even watching it.
Speaker 1: I get so mad about that stuff, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: the reason you're asking question is because you're not paying attention.
Speaker 1: This is a fucking pointless Also, sometimes it's really obvious.
Speaker 1: I don't mind. If it's like whose guys are so z?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm still trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1: Like it's different when it's like where does this? What
Speaker 1: city is that? And it's like, well there's the Empire
Speaker 1: state building. Stupid idiot, bad stuff. Snow, what is the
Speaker 1: film that made you laugh the most. You're in comedy.
Speaker 1: You're very funny. What's your funniest film? I remember the
Speaker 1: first time I saw a Team America World Police. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the first time I saw Wet Hot American Summer.
Speaker 1: For my money, those are the two funniest movies I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. Really solid, really solid dancers. You can have,
Speaker 1: you can have paid for them. Pool to Haza. You
Speaker 1: have been amazing, A joy a treat. However, when you
Speaker 1: were fifty one years old, there was a mass shooting.
Speaker 1: Let's say it was about to take place, rather than
Speaker 1: it had happened. No one had been shot yet, but
Speaker 1: there was a man on the roof. He had a gun,
Speaker 1: and you you were doing Shakespeare in the park. You're
Speaker 1: actually on stage. This was happening, and you were mid Hamlet.
Speaker 1: You were doing Hamlet at fifty one, and everyone was like,
Speaker 1: but you're funny. Why are you doing such a dramatic piece,
Speaker 1: And you were like, I could make Hamlet funny, and
Speaker 1: you walked. You go, hang on a second. You walk
Speaker 1: through the crowd, and up on a roof is a
Speaker 1: man with a gun pointed at this crowd. You climb
Speaker 1: up there, you say not today, buster, and you throw
Speaker 1: yourself out. I wouldn't say that and grab him and
Speaker 1: you both full thirty one floors to your death dead.
Speaker 1: I'm walking along people by the way clap. They think
Speaker 1: it might be part of the play, but it's only
Speaker 1: later they realized I no, that was real. But you're
Speaker 1: very convincing either way. I'm walking along with a coffee,
Speaker 1: know what. I'm like, I'm like, what's that mess down there?
Speaker 1: I come over, I go bloody, Oh it's not Paul
Speaker 1: Walter Hauzar, is it? He's not taggled a mass sutor.
Speaker 1: Is he? Blood everywhere? Your body's an absolute state. You've
Speaker 1: been squished into the ground. I have to get a
Speaker 1: concrete digger to get some of you out because you've
Speaker 1: like gone right in the pavement anyway, chopping you up
Speaker 1: stuff all I can in the coffin. But there's more
Speaker 1: of you than I was expecting. What we ller concrete
Speaker 1: and the bits of the other guys on you anyway,
Speaker 1: put you in the coffin. It's full, so busy in there.
Speaker 1: There's really only enough room to slide one DVD into
Speaker 1: the side of the coffin for you to take across
Speaker 1: to the other side and on the other side, it's
Speaker 1: movie night every night. What film are you taking to
Speaker 1: show the puppies and babies in heaven when it's your
Speaker 1: movie night, mister Paul water Hauzar, It's tough, but I
Speaker 1: think I have to go with the short film The Rope.
Speaker 1: There's there's this one, There's this one. There's this one
Speaker 1: performance by this actor. He plays the man tied to
Speaker 1: the woman, and yeah, really something. I encourage everyone to
Speaker 1: find it, you know what, It's weird. I was thinking
Speaker 1: about the short film the right this morning, because I
Speaker 1: did as an actor for those of you Paul Wolter
Speaker 1: has was obviously just looked on my OMDB years and
Speaker 1: years ago. In the early days, I did a s
Speaker 1: called The Rope with like a French film director and
Speaker 1: it's a really beautiful film, except I play the back
Speaker 1: of a woman is tied to a man, and the
Speaker 1: entire film is on the woman. So I was literally
Speaker 1: sort of just a stunt man carrying around this woman.
Speaker 1: And I remember doing an awful lot of acting, but
Speaker 1: you don't see anything. You just see my back and
Speaker 1: it was like a week. Literally the woman is sort
Speaker 1: of tied on me back to back, and I'm just
Speaker 1: carrying her like a like a sack for a week,
Speaker 1: and I really injured my back at the end of that.
Speaker 1: And I remember thinking when I saw it that probably
Speaker 1: wasn't worth it. But the people that haven't really going
Speaker 1: to enjoy it. I love that I dug that up
Speaker 1: for you. I not my my co answer real answer
Speaker 1: would be Pearl Harbor, the Michael Bay film. Okay, because
Speaker 1: it's the second movie, the second movie my wife and
