Speaker 1: is Brett Goldstein. I'm a comedian and actor, a writer, director,
Speaker 1: a bobblehead, and I love films. As Noam Chomsky once said,
Speaker 1: I was never aware of any other option but to
Speaker 1: question everything, except for during the film The Beast, I
Speaker 1: had no questions watching that. It was very clear to me.
Speaker 1: Me too, I loved it nice one. Every week I
Speaker 1: invite a special guest over. I tell them they've died.
Speaker 1: Then I get them to discuss their life through the
Speaker 1: films that meant the most of them. Previous guests include
Speaker 1: Barry Jenkins, Mark Frost, Sharon Stone, Jamie Lajamal and even
Speaker 1: bed Dambles. But this week it is the brilliant and

Speaker 1: currently the host alongside her hister, Lacy Lamar, of the
Speaker 1: Amber and Lacey Lacy and Amber Show, a weekly podcast
Speaker 1: produced by Our Heart Media and Will Farrel's Big Money
Speaker 1: Players Network. Me and Amber had met a few times.
Speaker 1: I love her. She's fucking great and it was so
Speaker 1: nice to be able to hang out with her for
Speaker 1: a while on zoom. We recorded this a few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and what a great time. I think you're going to
Speaker 1: love this one. So that is it for now. I

Speaker 1: of Films to be Buried With. Hello, and welcome to
Speaker 1: Films to be Buried With. It is me Brett Goldstein
Speaker 1: and I enjoined today by an actor, a writer, and
Speaker 1: late night a superstar, a podcast, a person with her
Speaker 1: name in the title of a show, a person who
Speaker 1: works with her sister, a legend, the io, the boom, Chicn'go,
Speaker 1: the seth Meyers, the TV, the radio, the stage. If
Speaker 1: you've seen her, you can't believe her. She's real. She's here.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. She's a legend in her own lifetime.
Speaker 1: Please welcome to the show. It's the Brilliants that a rubbidh.
Speaker 2: That intro was not long enough.
Speaker 1: I ran out of breath.
Speaker 2: Brett, Hi, I love you so bad.
Speaker 1: I love you so bad. I'm so happy to have
Speaker 1: you here. Tell me everything to this morning. I listen
Speaker 1: to your latest podcast. You do a podcast with your sister.
Speaker 1: I think it's very nice that you do it with
Speaker 1: your sister. You're both very funny together. I like that
Speaker 1: it seems like there's no plan. It's just two sisters
Speaker 1: being very very funny together. Dude, I'm saying everything.
Speaker 3: We were like calling each other every day and that
Speaker 3: it takes an hour to say everything that needs to
Speaker 3: be said. Yeah, and we were like, some fool pay
Speaker 3: us to do this shit, and then.
Speaker 2: We found one and they do and it's so fun.
Speaker 1: It's so fun. It's really fun. And then I wondered
Speaker 1: if I haven't listened to all of them. I've listened
Speaker 1: to a few of them. I wondered, if you ever
Speaker 1: have like proper family feuds and they end up in
Speaker 1: the podcast, or if you've ever fallen out. You seem
Speaker 1: incredibly close. Have you ever not been close? What happens
Speaker 1: then to.
Speaker 2: The rest of the family. No, man, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't say anything. I just use cuss words. And
Speaker 3: then every time I go home, I get in trouble.
Speaker 3: But I'm too old to be so it's fine.
Speaker 1: Also, I like that you know the words to the
Speaker 1: Gumming Bears theme tune, and you're correct. It's the best.
Speaker 2: It's the best, it's the best. It's the most beautiful
Speaker 2: theme song.
Speaker 3: And they worked really hard on that, and they don't
Speaker 3: do theme songs like that anymore.
Speaker 2: These children don't know, they don't know.
Speaker 1: Everything moves so fast. It's very sad. Also, the connection
Speaker 1: that we have is that you did Boom Chicago with
Speaker 1: the likes of your Brendan Hunt and your Jason Sideki's
Speaker 1: true or False and Joe Kelly.
Speaker 3: I did Boom Chicago with none of those people.
Speaker 2: Actually they were all. I did Boom Chicago.
Speaker 3: Much later than them, much later than Joe Kelly and
Speaker 3: Jason Sadeikis. But I did overlap one day with Brendan
Speaker 3: like his last week was my first week, and.
Speaker 1: He has been writing that story. Oh do I in
Speaker 1: the bank one day crossover be and over raffish best
Speaker 1: friends for life work together for years.
Speaker 3: Brettan Hunt did though, I wrote a musical version of
Speaker 3: a documentary called King of Kong. It's the best documentary
Speaker 3: of all time, and agreed. I wrote it with my
Speaker 3: friend Lauren and and Brendan directed it and it is
Speaker 3: the best documentary of all time.
Speaker 2: And then we me and my friend.
Speaker 3: So the documentary King of Kong a fistful of Quarters
Speaker 3: is about two grown men vying to see who can
Speaker 3: become the Donkey Kong Champion of the world the arcade game.
Speaker 3: And there's one guy who's a angel center Earth, and
Speaker 3: then there's one guy who is the devil himself. And
Speaker 3: it's a documentary, so none of this is planned. They
Speaker 3: just happened upon the nicest guy and the worst guy.
Speaker 2: So I play.
Speaker 3: It's a two man musical where we play all of
Speaker 3: the parts, but mostly I play the bad guy and
Speaker 3: my best friend she plays the good guy. So Brendan
Speaker 3: Hunt directed it and it is the best thing you
Speaker 3: can see and do his best, absolute best. Will will
Speaker 3: you bring it back take it the Broadway? We absolutely
Speaker 3: will not, because we got told by the people who
Speaker 3: produced it to stop doing it. They came to see
Speaker 3: it and they were like, we like it and it's
Speaker 3: good and you did a good job. The two of
Speaker 3: you can do it sometimes, but you can't be making
Speaker 3: money off it and you can't like have other people
Speaker 3: perform it.
Speaker 2: And we were like, Okay, yeah, doesn't that suck well?
Speaker 4: And that's because I think that's a secret Breton, I'm whispering.
Speaker 4: I think that is because they were going to make
Speaker 4: a musical about it, and that was like ten years
Speaker 4: ago at this point, so I think that musical fell apart,
Speaker 4: and my musical is ready to go. I'm gonna write down,
Speaker 4: call my Broadway agent, see if we can't get that
Speaker 4: one bad.
Speaker 1: I didn't stop. Mm hmm, you crazy. They basically came
Speaker 1: to see your show. They were like, fuck, this is
Speaker 1: much better than the show we've been writing. That's it.
Speaker 1: They're like, fuck, well, we'll just tell them they can
Speaker 1: never do it. No one will ever see this better show.
Speaker 1: And then they did their show and it was shit,
Speaker 1: and then they're like, fuck, I wish Amber would call
Speaker 1: and we could just say we wrote her show.
Speaker 3: I wrote so many Piece of Ship musicals before there,
Speaker 3: and Brendan Hut was in all them, but King Dong
Speaker 3: was that one of them.
Speaker 2: That was a good one.
Speaker 1: How did you end up and how did you cope with? Here?
Speaker 1: Is a serious if I may ask you one serious
Speaker 1: question because of how the world is. I always i'm
Speaker 1: sort of always impressed with people who do kind of
Speaker 1: satire and political humor because I know people are fucking
Speaker 1: horrible and scary online, etc. And doing something like The
Speaker 1: Daily Show or Late Night, I think you get a
Speaker 1: lot of very scary at least things pointed towards you.
Speaker 1: And I wonder doing your first late night show, which
Speaker 1: was which is fucking excellent, and I want you to
Speaker 1: do it forever and ever. You seem like a very lovely,
Speaker 1: fun liked person. But that's scary stuff that guys with that, I imagine,
Speaker 1: how do you deal with that? If at all?
Speaker 3: I am very lucky and that I am so black
Speaker 3: and so lady and so left that the haters don't
Speaker 3: really reach me that easily, Like then I'm gonna see
Speaker 3: my black face and my kinky here and click on it.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's e me, So.
Speaker 3: I really like I live in this area kind of
Speaker 3: outside them. The worst I'll get was like I did
Speaker 3: a bit about something and it was like everything I
Speaker 3: used to do on the air. Rufford Show would be
Speaker 3: like it had a silent now kids before it. You know,
Speaker 3: it was just kind of like as if I was
Speaker 3: talking to kids.
Speaker 2: You know, it was a.
Speaker 3: Whole odd vibe and h if you take what I
Speaker 3: do outside of that, it kind of just seems insane.
Speaker 3: So only learn that a little too late. And then
Speaker 3: you know, we started writing to kind of cover it up.
Speaker 3: So like for a while there that gap. They liked
Speaker 3: to rip me a new one inside of the gap
Speaker 3: of that. And I'm like, yeah, if you don't know,
Speaker 3: that's where I'm coming from, you right?
Speaker 1: Interesting? And how was it going from being a writer
Speaker 1: to being the head person? How is it managing the people?
Speaker 1: How is that part of it?
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't absolutely nothing, because it was the exact
Speaker 3: same thing we would do at late night, Seth. It
Speaker 3: was all the same people, like anytime you had a bit.
Speaker 3: Anytime we do have a bit on late night, we
Speaker 3: write it, we give it to Seth. He goes, okay,
Speaker 3: and that's the only part of it that's missing. Then
Speaker 3: we take the script, we go to wardrobe and go,
Speaker 3: I need to be a dinosaur. Then we go to
Speaker 3: audio and go, I need a dinosaur roar. Then we
Speaker 3: go to you know whatever and go, I need a package,
Speaker 3: an opening package that's like a dinosaur smashing through the town.
Speaker 3: And then I call my friend Schmole on the phone.
Speaker 3: I go write a dinosaur song that goes like this,
Speaker 3: Roora rora, I'm a dinosaur. And then we have it
Speaker 3: already by you know. So we've always been we had this,
Speaker 3: hand the script to que cards and then they do it.
Speaker 3: We've done everything from the very beginning, so this was
Speaker 3: just like the same, but you have way more time
Speaker 3: to do it because it was only every Friday instead
Speaker 3: of every day.
Speaker 2: So I was like, this is the easiest job I've
Speaker 2: ever had.
Speaker 3: It should be forty times as hard, but it really wasn't,
Speaker 3: because you know what you like, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: You just do that. God no idea.
Speaker 3: It was so fucking easy, but so easy, especially after
Speaker 3: you did Boom Chicago, where people would shout out lemon
Speaker 3: and you look in three hundred people in the face
Speaker 3: and you go, okay, a song about lemons in the
Speaker 3: style of reggae and you have to sing that shit right.
Speaker 2: Now, you know.
Speaker 3: Instead of that, you can sit down take days men
Speaker 3: to write a thing. It's the luxury of lifetime. It
Speaker 3: really is.
Speaker 1: I'm right on the board. Things that rhyme with lemon
Speaker 1: that can be a whole day. You can.
Speaker 3: There's a rhyme zone which I do often.
Speaker 1: Rhyme zone. Okay, so now you do a podcast with
Speaker 1: your sister and are you going to get back on stage?
Speaker 3: Am I ever going to get back on stage? Great question?
Speaker 3: Probably because I don't get enough attention.
Speaker 1: I feel that for you.
Speaker 3: Also, I don't like the thought of memorizing anything is
Speaker 3: terrifying now because now I don't seen que cards.
Speaker 2: And I'm so mad that anyone has to live without.
Speaker 3: Them, and I'm willing to take this harshest stance Brett.
Speaker 3: Everyone who does a show of any kind without que
Speaker 3: cards is bad and dumb. They're bad and dumb. Why stress?
Speaker 3: You don't have to stress all. You could just be
Speaker 3: looking at a cue card and I know what you're thinking, Well,
Speaker 3: then the sight lines will be off. Guess the fuck what?
Speaker 3: We already fixed it. Every late night person can fix
Speaker 3: your cue card so that they're in your sightlines. Any
Speaker 3: show could do it. Everyone should be doing it. Shouldn't
Speaker 3: be the silly stories about who's the who's old old
Speaker 3: Italian man, stories about old Italian man having people like
Speaker 3: wear his lines on their shirt and stuff and refreshed shots.
Speaker 1: And sit malon Brandai.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think that it's good that I call
Speaker 3: them old Italian guy are bad?
Speaker 2: I think it's good.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's accurate.
Speaker 2: I don't know that it's agate, but I do think
Speaker 2: it's good.
Speaker 1: But it sounds like it is. Here's the thing, okay, listeners,
Speaker 1: I don't know that I agree or disagree. I'm just
Speaker 1: thinking it through. So you're saying, we go, and by
Speaker 1: the way, I would never do this, but let's say
Speaker 1: we were people that guys see Shakespeare play. I would
Speaker 1: never do this voluntarily unless I had to either the
Speaker 1: gun to my head. But great, Oh it's great a
Speaker 1: Shakespeare play. Right, you're saying, do the Shakespeare play. But
Speaker 1: there's a geezer mid row. Mid Row is holding up
Speaker 1: and these cards are heavy. They got a lot on it.
Speaker 1: But he's just nestled in the mid middle of the audio.
Speaker 2: Brett, you get me.
Speaker 3: Finally someone understands what even trying to say. Yes, Yes,
Speaker 3: it's fine.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a bad idea.
Speaker 2: It's a good idea. Take some of the pressure.
Speaker 1: Because the mad thing is when people go and see
Speaker 1: people in plays. I know this for a fact. One
Speaker 1: of the things that an audience, if they meet them afterwards,
Speaker 1: will always say. They won't say, oh wow, that was amazing,
Speaker 1: such an amazing actor, that say how do you learn all
Speaker 1: those lines? And the actor thinks, fuck you, that's the
Speaker 1: least of the job. So if we have the Q cards,
Speaker 1: then then the actor will finally start getting some respect
Speaker 1: for the acting rather than just learning all those lines.
Speaker 3: Brett finally someone who sees things my way. Yes, you
Speaker 3: are right, and I am right, and we are right.
Speaker 1: But the only place I would say maybe don't like
Speaker 1: is if you're you're an improviser, if you're doing stand up.
Speaker 1: Let's say, I don't want to see you with Q
Speaker 1: cards because you don't have to remember your lines. I
Speaker 1: don't mind if you forget your lines. It'll be funny.
Speaker 1: If you forget your lines, then you can just be
Speaker 1: funny about something else. Talk about lemons again, go back
Speaker 1: to the old safety levels.
Speaker 3: You're right, you also wouldn't want to blow the punchlines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people looking at the gays in the middle right
Speaker 1: whispering to their wife much going to be interesting. I've
Speaker 1: forgotten to tell you something, and it's mad that I
Speaker 1: forgot to tell you this. I should have said it earlier, actually,
Speaker 1: but maybe sort of catching up, I'll just say it.
Speaker 1: You've died, You're dead, You're dead.
Speaker 3: Right, right, that's true, I have to Yeah, I died
Speaker 3: exactly the way you think. I was at cheesecake factory
Speaker 3: and I had asked for my fifth loaf of brown bread.
Speaker 3: And the waiter I get every time, not the fun one,
Speaker 3: the mean one. He took the loaf, the fifth loaf
Speaker 3: of brown bread, and he shoved it down my throat
Speaker 3: and I died.
Speaker 2: It was a murder. It was really violent.
Speaker 3: And I can't say that I didn't deserve it, because
Speaker 3: I was kind of pressing him.
Speaker 2: But you don't fucking bring me my brown bread when
Speaker 2: I say bring it to me.
Speaker 3: I don't have all day after read beneath his brown
Speaker 3: bread so that I can eat my buffalo blast.
Speaker 2: Either way, I died.
Speaker 1: So you pushed the main ways a little too hot,
Speaker 1: and you said bring me by brown bread, and he
Speaker 1: brought you your brown bread, and he's stuffed a life
Speaker 1: into your face. So it's sort of I'm assuming some
Speaker 1: of it spread out the middle, went into your esophagus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: cut off the air. He pushed it down. You explained it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that were the rather baby there or you
Speaker 1: were just one it?
Speaker 2: No, I was there.
Speaker 3: I was like there by myself, like taking up a
Speaker 3: whole table, which also got on his nerves.
Speaker 1: So what was the rest you were trying to get to?
Speaker 3: Well? See bread, They're going to bring out the main
Speaker 3: course whenever it's done, so you only have that interim
Speaker 3: time to eat bread. So the faster the bread comes,
Speaker 3: the more you can eat. But if he's slow on
Speaker 3: the bread, they're not going to continue bringing bread after
Speaker 3: your main course comes.
Speaker 2: So he's got to go fast.
Speaker 3: Also, like, this is my fiftieth time with this specific
Speaker 3: guy at this specific cheesecake factory, so he ought to
Speaker 3: nobody now to not be messing with you.
Speaker 1: Is it the one in the ground.
Speaker 2: I live in New York?
Speaker 3: Otherwise it would be because I have gone to that
Speaker 3: one a million times. It's not as good as the
Speaker 3: one in Beverly Hills, which is the one I love
Speaker 3: and also quite possibly the first cheesecake factory. Now we're
Speaker 3: both sitting at computers right now, we will never know
Speaker 3: what I do.
Speaker 1: Not touch the keyboard, don't touch it.
Speaker 2: But in my heart, it's the original.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the first factory. It seems like they
Speaker 1: were born as a group, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like you can't imagine one cheesecake factory and they go, well,
Speaker 1: I think we're done here. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: They just all sprouted at the same time, like a
Speaker 3: field of cabbage patch kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, imagine just the first one on its own, just
Speaker 1: on its own, looking like a chain, but it's one.
Speaker 3: It would be flooded with people clamoring from all over
Speaker 3: the globe.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sort of I'm devastated. Did do you worry
Speaker 1: about death?
Speaker 3: Some times I do a little bit, but not enough,
Speaker 3: not like I should. I think that I'm still like
Speaker 3: remember when you were a kid and you were never
Speaker 3: gonna die. I'm still a little bit like that. I
Speaker 3: still feel a teeny bit untouchable. But except now my
Speaker 3: body is falling apart at a rapid pace. So soon
Speaker 3: my mind will catch up to the fact that this
Speaker 3: is a temporary vessel.
Speaker 2: But as for now, you know, I'm gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I think if you, if you were nicer to wait
Speaker 1: as you could live forever.
Speaker 3: I am nice to waiterstient, but not that bitch. I
Speaker 3: will never be nice to him. I don't care for
Speaker 3: his behavior.
Speaker 1: Do you know his name? Do you ever asked his name?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I haven't, but I bet I can.
Speaker 3: I see his name tag and it's like empty, it's
Speaker 3: la la, I'll never remember.
Speaker 1: What do you think happens when you die? Do you
Speaker 1: think there's enough to life? Oh?
Speaker 3: Brett fucking I used to live in Amsterdam and a
Speaker 3: million years ago we were all friends with this guy
Speaker 3: who cooked his own everything so you could get really
Speaker 3: clean drugs off of them.
Speaker 1: You meant like you're in everything.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, I mean something much worse than that, sweetheart.
Speaker 3: He cooked his own drugs, so like, so if you
Speaker 3: wanted e. No, someone's like leaf blowing and I'm like,
Speaker 3: is this gonna be a real thing?
Speaker 2: Can you hear it as loud as fuck? Oh? Great?
Speaker 3: No one's blowing anything. Sorry, I said it like that.
Speaker 3: The guy is cooking his own stuff. So he's like, okay,
Speaker 3: So there is this drug called d MT. You know DMT,
Speaker 3: and he's like, it's the release. It occurs naturally in
Speaker 3: human beings and also plants, and it's released by your
Speaker 3: brain when you're born and when you die.
Speaker 2: So it's why people.
Speaker 1: When you're as well. But it was just when you die.
Speaker 3: Sir, both, So it's why people think, you know, there's
Speaker 3: an afterlife is this compound.
Speaker 2: So we smoked that shit, and I okay.
Speaker 3: So when you smoke DMPT, the same thing happens to everyone.
Speaker 2: You you know, like, leave this world and you go
Speaker 2: to you know, crazy.
Speaker 3: Town, and it is a beautiful, beautiful wall. The wall is,
Speaker 3: you know, the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. So
Speaker 3: you can either talk to the wall or you can
Speaker 3: go through it. If you talk to the wall, the
Speaker 3: wall has all of life's answers, so you can talk
Speaker 3: to it and you can know everything. Or you can
Speaker 3: walk through the wall and it's like, you know, magical
Speaker 3: and little beings show you things. And that's the same thing.
Speaker 3: It happens to everyone who's ever smoked DMPT. Well, if
Speaker 3: you smoke enough of it, if you just smoke a little,
Speaker 3: you just have a crazy time. But if you smoke
Speaker 3: enough of it, that's what happens. So Brett, long story longer,
Speaker 3: I smoke this shit first time. It was just a
Speaker 3: little scary. And then the second time I got to
Speaker 3: the wall, the wall is like this neon. I'll never
Speaker 3: be able to explain it, this neon bunch of squares
Speaker 3: that has like pretty people in them. So I'm talking
Speaker 3: to this wall, the wall. I ask it what happens
Speaker 3: when you die? And the wall tells me it's basically this,
Speaker 3: and I go, well, this is nice and all, but like,
Speaker 3: how long is it? Like what's time? And the wall
Speaker 3: goes time works in a way that you can't grasp
Speaker 3: and I go, okay, well where is it? And it
Speaker 3: goes well, like if your two fingers were to touch,
Speaker 3: like the space in between, like rite exactly where you are,
Speaker 3: but also a completely different dimension.
Speaker 2: I was like fuck. And then I said, well, how
Speaker 2: does it feel?
Speaker 3: Because remember how people are like, well, well I'm dead,
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna miss my family and they're looking down on.
Speaker 2: Me and blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: I said, oh, well, that sounds like torture, and that
Speaker 3: can't possibly be true of the afterlife, right, I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna be dead thinking about my children, right, that would
Speaker 3: be horrible. And the wall goes, no, you absolutely won't
Speaker 3: be and I go prove it turn off all my
Speaker 3: feelings for everyone I've ever known and loved.
Speaker 2: And it did.
Speaker 3: And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, bring
Speaker 3: it back, bring it back, and it did. So I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure you end up exactly where you are when
Speaker 3: you smoke DMT. Because also, that high last twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: But when I was in there, I was talking to
Speaker 3: that thing, and I said, so, you know, I can
Speaker 3: understand how time works because we've been in here, what
Speaker 3: three months? It had been twenty minutes, And when I
Speaker 3: remember it, I remember months and months of time. But
Speaker 3: that's not what it was, but that's what it takes up.
Speaker 2: In my brain.
Speaker 1: It was little people in the walls. But the war
Speaker 1: was just like talking.
Speaker 3: I never went through the white. The wall was talking.
Speaker 3: The wall answered all my questions.
Speaker 1: Can you do an impression of the voice of the wall?
Speaker 1: Did it have an accent? Was it Brooklyn? Was it Brittalian?
Speaker 1: What did the wall?
Speaker 2: It was my voice because it was your voice.
Speaker 1: It was your voice. Yeah, dude, So when you die,
Speaker 1: you go to the wall. You can go through it,
Speaker 1: or you can just hang out the wall some more.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you just then you have the party.
Speaker 3: Yeah, little people party everyone everyone else went through the
Speaker 3: wall and had the time of their lives.
Speaker 2: But I was like, I got all my life's questions,
Speaker 2: he answered.
Speaker 1: And when your feelings were turned off for a second, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what what that feel like?
Speaker 3: It was a little bit comforting because then I knew
Speaker 3: that I wasn't going to be trapped in another realm
Speaker 3: being like I want my mommy, you know, which to
Speaker 3: me is the nightmare of death.
Speaker 1: So I mean, the only I guess sort of difficult
Speaker 1: part is for the people left behind to know, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: when you lose your your loved ones, they could just
Speaker 1: switch you off.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: I don't want anyone to die and then be like
Speaker 3: I wish I was hanging out with the Amber. I
Speaker 3: think that's stupid. I think that would be torture. That
Speaker 3: would Hey guys, here, let me offer you something. The
Speaker 3: onst thing about you. They are on a cloud having
Speaker 3: a party with a little furry animal.
Speaker 2: They're having a blast.
Speaker 1: Looking talking to this clys to the world and this
Speaker 1: close to you right now, they're in there. I love this. Yeah, fascinating.
Speaker 1: And when you came back, was it like sudden or
Speaker 1: was it slowly? You're coming back to this, to this realm,
Speaker 1: and did you feel like I want to go back?
Speaker 3: It was just a teeny bit slow, but because it's
Speaker 3: naturally occurring, like I could have stood up and driven
Speaker 3: a car. There was no like, you're not drunk in there,
Speaker 3: and you're not crazy on drugs. You're you. But the
Speaker 3: world has changed. So that's why I like, I can
Speaker 3: remember everything I said. I can remember everything the wall said,
Speaker 3: and I wasn't like feeling loopy. I had a list
Speaker 3: that I had made to ask the wall, and I
Speaker 3: asked it everything on the list.
Speaker 1: So you think the wall is like the edge of
Speaker 1: the other realm. This is the door. You get to
Speaker 1: the door, any question before you go in, and then
Speaker 1: you go in.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm not spiritual at all. What I think
Speaker 3: is it's just a thing that just so happens to
Speaker 3: happen inside of your brain, and it bends time and
Speaker 3: it feels like eternity, but it's not. It's just a
Speaker 3: way that your brain can misconceived time and then that
Speaker 3: feels like forever and it makes you feel good as
Speaker 3: you die.
Speaker 1: Oh so you actually think, then you die and then
Speaker 1: it's nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, take.
Speaker 1: Away from your views.
Speaker 3: But you know.
Speaker 2: You don't know that you're just you scooch in there.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 1: So you're like it go come through the wall. And
Speaker 1: then you go through the wall, it's like blackout.
Speaker 3: Or the amount that is released in your brain makes
Speaker 3: you feel like it's forever. Because of twenty minutes felt
Speaker 3: like months and months. Then certainly a larger amount could
Speaker 3: make it feel like forever, because that's what's isolated in plants.
Speaker 1: Now, people, how old were you when this happened? How
Speaker 1: long ago has this happened?
Speaker 3: It had to be two thousand and five seven, something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: So my one other question, which I think is interesting,
Speaker 1: is your first time was well scary? What made you
Speaker 1: do it a second time?
Speaker 2: I got it? I had to talk to the wall.
Speaker 1: Right, you were like, I didn't get to the wall?
Speaker 1: Is good? Okay? Well, Amber Roughin. A lot of what
Speaker 1: you said is true, it turns out, except for the
Speaker 1: bit about nothing, it was all alie in your brain.
Speaker 1: It is true. There's a heaven and it's behind the wall.
Speaker 1: You just have to step in, Okay, step through the
Speaker 1: wall and believe in it. But on the other side
Speaker 1: of the wall, it's heaven. And in heaven it's filled
Speaker 1: with your favorite thing, what's.
Speaker 2: Your favorite cotton candy? Probably all right.
Speaker 1: The wolves are cotton candy, The couches are cotton candy.
Speaker 1: The people are cotton candy. They float around at that.
Speaker 1: They're not scary, they're friendly, they try and hug you.
Speaker 1: Then they're not like damp, so they don't get all sticky.
Speaker 1: They're just like fun, you touching mel And they're all
Speaker 1: very excited to see the cotton candy people. And they
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about your life. They're big fans,
Speaker 1: but they want to know about your life through the
Speaker 1: medium of film, which is odd. The first thing they
Speaker 1: ask you is Amber Ruffin. What's the first film you
Speaker 1: remember seeing? Amber Ruffin? They keep calling you Amber Ruffin.
Speaker 3: That is odd that they keep calling me that. I
Speaker 3: think the first film I remember seeing is The Wiz
Speaker 3: because it's just on in the house one hundred percent
Speaker 3: of the time because you have the VHS tape. But
Speaker 3: then for a while, like I feel like it played
Speaker 3: every Saturday or Sunday for a while on like PBS
Speaker 3: or something, but like every weekend it was on. And
Speaker 3: also when you're sick homesick from school, you can watch
Speaker 3: it if you want. So there's a lot of that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I feel like I can remember seeing The
Speaker 3: Wiz because I remember being scared of parts of it
Speaker 3: that are in no way scary at all.
Speaker 2: So I think I was quite smart.
Speaker 1: Are you forgive me if you not knowing this? Is
Speaker 1: it just you and your sister or do you have
Speaker 1: other siblings?
Speaker 3: We have other siblings. I'm the youngest of five laciers
Speaker 3: in the middle.
Speaker 1: Well, what do the others are? The others like, why
Speaker 1: don't we on your podcast?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: They know why?
Speaker 3: No, that's not nice. We should have the mother podcast.
Speaker 3: But they're just gonna act bad have three of us?
Speaker 3: My god, Well, I'm putting in a request. I would
Speaker 3: like one episode where all five everyone.
Speaker 2: It's just gonna be a wall of sound.
Speaker 1: Sorry the Wiz. Do you remember the bit thats scared you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, when they're down in the subway and then the
Speaker 3: subway trash comes to life and it's like babe boo
Speaker 3: boo boo boop and he's got those scary long arms.
Speaker 2: That was scary.
Speaker 1: I think that is scary.
Speaker 2: I didn't like it.
Speaker 1: Did it make you want to be a performer or anything?
Speaker 3: I don't think it did. I feel like The Wiz
Speaker 3: is one of the few movies. You know, you get
Speaker 3: older and you're you're like very aware that you're watching movie.
Speaker 3: But I think the Whiz was like before I could
Speaker 3: be like, this is people on a set and this
Speaker 3: is a lady named Diana Ross, and shit, I was
Speaker 3: just like, I can't believe this is happening to these people,
Speaker 3: and I get to look at it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really did.
Speaker 3: The way I think about it even still, it's like,
Speaker 3: when that happened to that young woman, I was really fearful.
Speaker 1: For her safety. What is the film that made you cry?
Speaker 1: The micet Do you like crying? Are you a crier?
Speaker 1: I'm a ruffian.
Speaker 2: I am in no way a crier.
Speaker 3: I almost never cry unless it's Gray's Anatomy. Then I'm balling,
Speaker 3: like I know these people. God, the last time I
Speaker 3: cry that made me cry the most.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It has to be something, But do you remember it?
Speaker 3: Did the wall kind of did turn off my tears?
Speaker 3: Oh no, the truth it did though, because man, everything's
Speaker 3: gonna be all right. But I watched a movie called
Speaker 3: Remember that movie that's like about the delus Mortos, and
Speaker 3: it's that little boy playing the guitar, Go Go, I
Speaker 3: remember the song remember Me. That song made me cry
Speaker 3: so fucking hard. Oh, speaking of death, that song made
Speaker 3: me cry myself sick because then when they second again
Speaker 3: in Spanish, I understood it a little bit that they
Speaker 3: can be double cry. They got me, Disney will get you.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 3: I don't think Disney should count because if Disney wants
Speaker 3: my tears, they're gonna get them.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Pixar and Monsters, I think Pixar. Yeah, they're a
Speaker 1: sort of evil organization designed to destroy us, so through tears.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean now that you say that, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're absolutely right.
Speaker 2: And I was destroyed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they knew exactly what they were doing, and
Speaker 1: they fucking targeted us. The people who are like, I
Speaker 1: don't care, it's just the thing.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to look cool in front of my baby Nieces,
Speaker 3: I look like a fucking asshole crying her room there.
Speaker 3: They don't know what death is.
Speaker 1: They don't know, they've not seen the world. Tell me this,
Speaker 1: what about being scared? Now? I already know something from
Speaker 1: your podcast, But what's the film that scared you the most?
Speaker 1: And do you like being scared? Spoilering that? I don't
Speaker 1: think you do.
Speaker 3: I felt like being scared. The world isn't scary enough place.
Speaker 3: Every movie has scared the mess out of me. I
Speaker 3: get nervous at the point of the movie where we
Speaker 3: don't know if the guy's gonna make it.
Speaker 2: That I want. That makes me want to turn off
Speaker 2: the movie every single time.
Speaker 3: I can't. Will he become the number one golfer in
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 2: I can't, I can't. He's facing an ounce of hardship.
Speaker 2: I hate it. I do feel that way. But the
Speaker 2: movie that scared me, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: So when I was a kid, how old of I
Speaker 3: I have to be a teenager in high school? I
Speaker 3: imagine when Scream came out, So Screama's children. Scream was
Speaker 3: a highly anticipated film when it came out, and it
Speaker 3: was all any teenager wanted to do. And me and
Speaker 3: my friends, I feel like two of us snuck in,
Speaker 3: but it was like eight of us. So then eight
Speaker 3: of us were sitting in six seats, so we were
Speaker 3: all kind of like squished into a pile.
Speaker 2: And that movie started.
Speaker 3: The only people scaredier than me are my little best friends,
Speaker 3: and it was me and a little scared sandwich and
Speaker 3: we were just terrified, screaming, and then I'm screaming because
Speaker 3: she's screaming, But then I have a fresh scream because
Speaker 3: I noticed something she didn't notice while she was screaming,
Speaker 3: and we were just it was as if we were
Speaker 3: in a studio audience, like for a live show with laughter,
Speaker 3: but with screams of terror. It was the scaredest I've
Speaker 3: ever felt my entire life. I was terrified during the movie.
Speaker 3: You remember Scream, the same movie that you watched and
Speaker 3: had the feelings you had.
Speaker 2: It scared the shit out of me. Terrified.
Speaker 1: Is that the last time you watched a scary movie?
Speaker 1: Was that? Right?
Speaker 3: It has to be. I don't watch a lot of
Speaker 3: oh what I did see? I will watch every Jordan
Speaker 3: Peele movie. Okay, So get Out was really good. It
Speaker 3: didn't scare you like you're gonna go cry, but dang,
Speaker 3: it scared me good. It scared me pretty good and
Speaker 3: I didn't like it.
Speaker 2: Oh, Candy Man was also good.
Speaker 3: Okay, So except for Jordan Peele, that was the last
Speaker 3: scary movie?
Speaker 2: Probably?
Speaker 1: Okay, what is the film that you love but critics
Speaker 1: don't like it? Most people don't like it, but you
Speaker 1: stand by it unconditionedly.
Speaker 3: Amber Rough every Adam Sandler movie, every last one of
Speaker 3: them motherfuckers.
Speaker 2: And I don't know.
Speaker 3: What happened because I think it might be my age.
Speaker 3: But Adam Sandler is the fucking shit. I think he's
Speaker 3: the funniest personal live. I love him so much, and
Speaker 3: I remember looking up to him when you know, I
Speaker 3: was young. He just was what comedy was and I
Speaker 3: loved it. And I'm still like very much a piece
Speaker 3: of shit in an Adam Sandler way. Like I act
Speaker 3: as bad as I act because Adam Sandler existed.
Speaker 1: You are Billy Madison.
Speaker 3: I'm a hundred percent Billy madisone like all my good
Speaker 3: guy friends.
Speaker 2: Know you know, my Omaha guy friends, the ones I
Speaker 2: grew up with that.
Speaker 3: I'll tap you in the balls because I think it's hilarious.
Speaker 3: Like I'm I am just a different I'm Adam Sandler,
Speaker 3: but in a different body.
Speaker 2: I just like I like engraved chaos.
Speaker 1: I get it. I love that you're Billy Medicine. I
Speaker 1: love Adam Sounds so much. He's just lovely. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: very funny and lovely. What a guy.
Speaker 3: And everyone who has worked with him is like, he's
Speaker 3: actually a delight, and I'm like, good, I don't care
Speaker 3: if he was bad, I still wouldn't care.
Speaker 2: I love him. I love him too much too. It's
Speaker 2: too late. I'm too far gone.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, what is a film that you
Speaker 1: used to love, you loved so much, and then you've
Speaker 1: reasoning and you've got I don't like this no more?
Speaker 1: You might have changed, well.
Speaker 3: A lot of like I mean, my answer should be
Speaker 3: like any of those like White Savior movies, like those stuff.
Speaker 3: You can't you can't get through one minute of the
Speaker 3: blind Side, you can't watch.
Speaker 2: It for one minute.
Speaker 3: But also I'm the same person who watched it and
Speaker 3: was like, how lovely like? It didn't like change my
Speaker 3: life or anything, but it certainly didn't set off the
Speaker 3: myriad of alarms it should have.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I guess a safe answer is Austin Powers probably didn't
Speaker 3: age well.
Speaker 1: Listen, I fucking weirdly, just this very morning was sent
Speaker 1: someone the scene from Austin Power's gold Member where Dr
Speaker 1: Evil and Minime Wrap hard knocked life. It isn't, And
Speaker 1: I think to myself often is gold Member the most underratedity?
Speaker 2: That's a great.
Speaker 1: Always bagging on about toy story Free have we forgotten
Speaker 1: Cold Number?
Speaker 3: Oh my god? That's true. Wait, Brett, question for you,
Speaker 3: what's the most underrated movie of all time? This is
Speaker 3: what you do to other people?
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I've talked about this many times on the
Speaker 1: podcast because I still I think it's finally starting to
Speaker 1: get it's props. But Greece too is obviously. Oh that's
Speaker 1: stone cold masterpiece of lawless, work of genius. It wasn't
Speaker 1: embraced at the time.
Speaker 2: Excellent.
Speaker 1: What's your answer?
Speaker 2: Easy?
Speaker 3: My answer is correct. It's pop Star Never Stop Popping.
Speaker 3: Ah fucking great, fucking brilliant, brilliant comedy. That might be
Speaker 3: one of the funniest movies. And I can't, I cannot
Speaker 3: believe I But you know what, I do take a
Speaker 3: lot of solace in the fact that that movie is
Speaker 3: exactly what they want. It turned out exactly how they
Speaker 3: wanted it to turn out. Like I feel that way
Speaker 3: about that movie. And what's the movie you can only
Speaker 3: watch once because it's so horrible American History X.
Speaker 2: Like those two movies and they had.
Speaker 1: They were a lot of doll.
Speaker 2: It made me feel exactly the way they wanted.
Speaker 3: Me to feel. I'm like, you did it. I don't
Speaker 3: ever have to see American History X.
Speaker 1: Again. You know what there is shockgo Steve Martin's Shockgirl.
Speaker 3: Oh that's a clear sir, sir. Oh yeah, well received.
Speaker 3: I could watch that again.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Beautiful, beautiful, phil beauty.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Oh but wait, let's what time is it? Forty
Speaker 3: three minutes for me to imitate your accent? It took
Speaker 3: forty three minutes, and I feel pretty.
Speaker 2: Good about that.
Speaker 1: I'm sort of impressed.
Speaker 3: I made a conscious note to not repeat the way
Speaker 3: you sound back to you, and it took forty three
Speaker 3: I almost made it, almost made it.
Speaker 1: I'm impressed. I think I was expecting it earlier and
Speaker 1: I was going to embrace it. I was happy. I
Speaker 1: made a conscious note some place is going to do
Speaker 1: your voice and you're going to have to enjoy it.
Speaker 2: That kind of goes with me and anybody now that
Speaker 2: I think about it.
Speaker 1: What is the film that means the most to you?
Speaker 1: But not necessarily because the film is good, but because
Speaker 1: the experience you had seeing the film will always make
Speaker 1: it special to you.
Speaker 2: Amber Ruffin, thank you for asking.
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening.
Speaker 3: The film is probably Black Panther two because I saw
Speaker 3: the first Black Panther and I was like, I will
Speaker 3: devote my life to this franchise, and I'm going to
Speaker 3: try to have a career that makes them. Let me
Speaker 3: go to the premiere of Black Panther two, because I
Speaker 3: know there's kind of be sick.
Speaker 1: After that movie came out.
Speaker 3: I really worked hard and then I got to go
Speaker 3: to the New York premiere of Black Panther two, and
Speaker 3: it was a fucking dream. Everybody was there and I
Speaker 3: got to look at all of them, talk to everybody,
Speaker 3: and I fucking everyone was, Oh my god, this happened
Speaker 3: at that premiere.
Speaker 2: Minding my own business.
Speaker 3: Me and my little girlfriend Joeyell are in the corner
Speaker 3: laughing and whispering about this, and that Maxwell comes up
Speaker 3: to me and says, hey, aren't you Amber Ruffin. Wow,
Speaker 3: I really enjoy your work. I grabbed this man so
Speaker 3: hard by the hand. I was like, oh my god, Maxwell,
Speaker 3: I love you so fucking bad. And Maxwell laughs and
Speaker 3: he goes, you talk how you talk? I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it sounds silly, and I'm sorry, I love you so bad.
Speaker 3: And then the whole movie as a whole role a
Speaker 3: bit I'm not doing a bit tarier sound sorry. It'd
Speaker 3: be a pretty weird bit to do, but it would
Speaker 3: be like me to have a bit and then just
Speaker 3: do it forever.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 2: That's something I would do.
Speaker 3: But yeah, and then we sat in a row of
Speaker 3: like black celebrities like Ascended to Heaven. I couldn't even
Speaker 3: tell you what happened in that movie. I was just like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: we did it. Yay, I should go back.
Speaker 1: You're at the after party, everyone that asks you to
Speaker 1: your favorite bit, You're like, I wasn't. I didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't pay any attention to the film. So sorry, I
Speaker 1: was just I was just having a beer.
Speaker 2: Just looking at Queen Lativa. Sorry, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's nice. Well that's a fucking motivating thing in it. Now,
Speaker 1: that's a good way to get out of bed. In it.
Speaker 1: If I work hard enough, I get to go to
Speaker 1: the Black Panther too premier. But then what do you
Speaker 1: do now? Now you've achieved your dream, you just sort
Speaker 1: of take it easy.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, and I should be working harder. You're right,
Speaker 3: but you need a new goal, I do. Do you
Speaker 3: have one for me?
Speaker 1: Yes? Okay, my new goal for you is that you
Speaker 1: develop your acting career. Right. Well, however you want to
Speaker 1: do it. It's not up to me how you achieve this?
Speaker 1: But I want you to do a dramatic part in
Speaker 1: a film opposite Jeff Bridges.
Speaker 2: Opposite Jeff Bridges, Okay, I'll do it.
Speaker 1: I think you two together is what cinema needs.
Speaker 2: Doesn't he seem like good people?
Speaker 1: He does, absolutely, That's why I think you'd be good together.
Speaker 3: I do feel like I could get along with Jeff Bridges.
Speaker 3: Yeah for a little while. Then I get on his nerves.
Speaker 3: But for just like a short shoot, I could do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a five weeks shoot. You just got to
Speaker 1: behave for five weeks. I can do that one way.
Speaker 1: I don't flick him in the bulls if I may
Speaker 1: put that, are.
Speaker 2: We becoming close or not? Wait? Why you gotta tie
Speaker 2: my hands like this?
Speaker 1: I just think for the five weeks she's probably sensible.
Speaker 1: He seems like such a lovely guy. But I don't
Speaker 1: know if he'd enjoy that. But who might to say?
Speaker 1: You try it, agree to disagree? Okay.
Speaker 3: Jeff Bridges is like, oh my balls, think it, but
Speaker 3: you did it perfect, perfect, they'll write it in the script.
Speaker 1: Okay, what is the film he most relates to hamber Roughing.
Speaker 3: The film I most relate to is a special condo film.
Speaker 3: I'm never Oh, yes I have. The film I most
Speaker 3: related to is fucking Jumping Jack Flash one thousand percent.
Speaker 3: I am woo Pee Goldberg and Jumping Jack Flash to
Speaker 3: a fucking tea. That's exactly who I am in real life.
Speaker 3: I could see all of that happening to me. But also,
Speaker 3: like when I was a kid and I was watching
Speaker 3: that movie, like, I don't know that I'd be doing
Speaker 3: this without having seen Jumping Jackflash, cause like, you're not
Speaker 3: supposed to be a black girl who's a little androgynous,
Speaker 3: who has kinky hair, who is very very silly, Like
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to be any of those things. And
Speaker 3: there wasn't that combination. It was a long time after
Speaker 3: Jumping Jackflash that I saw a second one of those,
Speaker 3: and so I held onto that and I squeezed all
Speaker 3: the juice out of it because I needed an example
Speaker 3: so bad, and I would reest. I reach back to
Speaker 3: that movie today and I'm like, remember she was doing it,
Speaker 3: Remember she was talking like that and dressing like that,
Speaker 3: and it's perfectly fine. But yeah, jump in Jack Flash.
Speaker 3: Final answer, great answer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the premise of Jumpy Jack Fast? I saw
Speaker 1: it when I was very little.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she that's a great question.
Speaker 1: It's like she gets into trouble, right, and she's got
Speaker 1: to fix some business in the city.
Speaker 3: She is reached by a man who is British and
Speaker 3: he is getting her to like deliver the film or
Speaker 3: get the goods or you know, do some heist for him.
Speaker 3: And they can only communicate online, which was a very
Speaker 3: big deal back then, so it's just her. It's like
Speaker 3: a one lady heist. So it's really really cute. And
Speaker 3: then you would think that they'd like fall in love
Speaker 3: a little bit, but I'm ninety percent sure this is true.
Speaker 2: They do not.
Speaker 3: And it's just like that thing you know sometimes in
Speaker 3: movies when people are a little gay and then they
Speaker 3: like just like share a knowing glance and then that's it.
Speaker 3: It's like that because that's kind of about like a
Speaker 3: mainstream black women were back then. It was just like,
Speaker 3: I'm not sexual in any way, but hello, and it's.
Speaker 1: Look, I can look into the distance. Have you ever
Speaker 1: met with me, Goberg? I did did you tell her this?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: When I met Woopi Goldberg, I did exactly this.
Speaker 1: Hi.
Speaker 2: I love you, I love you, I love you. Okay,
Speaker 2: I love you.
Speaker 3: I love you, I love you, I love you, I
Speaker 3: love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.
Speaker 2: And left. I couldn't.
Speaker 3: I could only say I love you when I said
Speaker 3: it for it to night while she was going, oh,
Speaker 3: thank you so much, thanks, that's so nice.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, what's your name? Oh? All right? What's your name? Okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love you you but all right in your name?
Speaker 3: And it was a full nightmare. But also I didn't care.
Speaker 3: I love her so bad.
Speaker 1: I bet she turned to her friendly. She talks like
Speaker 1: that in real life, I hope. So I have a
Speaker 1: roughiin what is the sexiest film ever made? The sexiest?
Speaker 2: I truly do not have an answer.
Speaker 1: Get out of here. I don't accept it.
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, you're right. The sexiest film is magic, Mike.
Speaker 3: The sexiest film isn't, as yet unmade film where it's
Speaker 3: like a queer black lady.
Speaker 2: I haven't the sexiest film. I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 3: Gosh what could it be? But for real, wait, let's
Speaker 3: just think for one fucking second. Oh you know, what's sexy?
Speaker 3: What was sexy? And also the film I've seen more
Speaker 3: than any other film Spanglish, idam a Sandler and beautiful
Speaker 3: Lady Penelope Cruz also like, I don't know how that
Speaker 3: is if I were to watch it today, But OK,
Speaker 3: but I when I lived in Amsterdam, it was I
Speaker 3: had one DVD and it was Spanglish. I didn't buy it,
Speaker 3: it was just in the apartment. So I watched that.
Speaker 2: Mug all of the time.
Speaker 3: And then I started to love it, and then it
Speaker 3: became part of my routine. And then when I got
Speaker 3: back to America, it was like the Sunday that every
Speaker 3: Sunday it would be like overboard and Spanglish. I watch
Speaker 3: it all the time. But like watching them be like
Speaker 3: flirting a little and being in love but not being
Speaker 3: able to really talk about it, that really got me.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. I thought, oh god, I hope they
Speaker 2: kiss on the mails then, not to ruin it, but
Speaker 2: they kissed them.
Speaker 1: Well are you going to handle the subcategory which is
Speaker 1: traveling by worrying white ones? A film you found arousing
Speaker 1: that you weren't sure you should. That's such a film exists.
Speaker 3: A film that I was aroused by to hear me
Speaker 3: say it is hilyrious. See let's see this think less
Speaker 3: think Oh am, I roused by Oh my god, yes,
Speaker 3: the real answer please is Little Monsters. Oh so she's
Speaker 3: so gorgeous in it. She's gorgeous. I feel like that.
Speaker 3: That got me. Even though she's like twenty, I'm running
Speaker 3: from the thing and all covered and blowed.
Speaker 2: I was like, she's.
Speaker 1: Hot, She's yeah, she is unbelievable. Okay, that is a
Speaker 1: really good answer. Hey, we did it. Hey, what is
Speaker 1: objectively the greatest film of all time and might not
Speaker 1: be your favorite?
Speaker 3: Very Gordy's the Last Dragon? It is, Oh, Darling Brett Rebrettiford,
Speaker 3: that's your full name, Bredifford, Rebrediford.
Speaker 2: It is a movie from nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, with Timeak and vanity, you can't call
Speaker 3: it a blaxploitation movie because it's made in nineteen eighty
Speaker 3: It has him in the soundtrack, but it is the song, oh,
Speaker 3: you know, the song Philip beat of the Rhythm of
Speaker 3: the Night instant that the barge song is in the soundtrack. Now,
Speaker 3: back in the eighties, there was like this whole bunch
Speaker 3: of movies where it's like all it's like black people.
Speaker 2: In music, you know.
Speaker 3: It was like, you know, break in and break into
Speaker 3: electric Boogloo and this was in there, and like Beat Street,
Speaker 3: this was in that Schlana films and it was about
Speaker 3: a young kung black kung fu master who falls in
Speaker 3: love with a pop star and then has to save
Speaker 3: her from the bad guy.
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard the phrase who's the master?
Speaker 3: Show? Noof have you ever heard that show? Nuf is
Speaker 3: the bad guy from Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon. I
Speaker 3: got to see this, Oh buddy, it's so beautiful. I
Speaker 3: feel like I love it because I'm not like old
Speaker 3: enough to love it for real, but because I'm the
Speaker 3: youngest of five. My older sisters would watch it all
Speaker 3: the time and quote it all the time. And you know,
Speaker 3: this was like a really big deal for them because
Speaker 3: this was like the first black movie that they were
Speaker 3: old enough to go to to like go to the
Speaker 3: movie and see us so and you know, they describe
Speaker 3: it as like the theater was packed and everyone was
Speaker 3: screaming about this and that and yelling and standing in rah.
Speaker 3: So it was a very big deal to them, And
Speaker 3: I think that vibe was kind of in the room
Speaker 3: as we were watching it in the living room growing up. Oh,
Speaker 3: in the Amber Ruffins show for the for one Halloween episode,
Speaker 3: I dressed up as show Enough and it made Arrek
Speaker 3: dress up as the last Dragon, Bruce Leroy, Bruce Lee Roy.
Speaker 3: And then they had the forty year re release DVD
Speaker 3: and me and Lacey did DVD commentary on it. Well, yay,
Speaker 3: because we love that freaking movie.
Speaker 1: That is a really, really good answer. You're going to
Speaker 1: get twenty points for Yes.
Speaker 2: I love this.
Speaker 1: So done, Yayne, you've started scoring. Yes. What is the
Speaker 1: film that you could or have watched the most over
Speaker 1: and over again?
Speaker 3: Well, that's spanglish Alreadie biffed it. I've seen that movie
Speaker 3: more times than I cocc count. And second is Overboard.
Speaker 3: I've seen Overboard a million times. Anytime I click past it,
Speaker 3: I know exactly how far along in the film we are.
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 3: I just feel like, yeah, I might have seen it
Speaker 3: the most, but it is the most shown movie of
Speaker 3: all time. I bet, I bet a billion dollars every
Speaker 3: I think they just made a deal to be shown
Speaker 3: across every fucking platform. It is constantly on. It's constant,
Speaker 3: and it's right because the movie's great.
Speaker 1: We don't like to be negative, do we. But what's
Speaker 1: the worst film you've ever seen? You can do this
Speaker 1: one quickly.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what is that movie? I'll never remember it?
Speaker 3: Oh fuck ah, dang it, it's let's see if we
Speaker 3: can get there. It's the movie.
Speaker 2: Fuck, there's no way to describe it. That's like it
Speaker 2: I have no answers for you.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh oh, it's like it's like Spain or
Speaker 3: like like like my Yorca or what what is the movie?
Speaker 2: And it's like, oh, no, it has the vibe of Brazil.
Speaker 2: Am I right?
Speaker 1: Brazil?
Speaker 2: Is it? Brazil?
Speaker 1: Brazil is your worst film made? Brazil? The Terry Gillian film.
Speaker 3: Uh abs a fucking lutely, this dumb piece of shit
Speaker 3: wasted my goddamn time.
Speaker 2: Everybody I know I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: Oh, if you like films, you've got to see Brazil.

Speaker 3: is The Emperor Has No Clothes, the dumbest shit I've
Speaker 3: ever fucking seen.
Speaker 2: Made me so goddamn mad. That's the worst. That's the worst.
Speaker 3: It's the worst movie of all time, so fucking stupid,
Speaker 3: What a waste of everyone's time. And also like it
Speaker 3: just makes me mad because you know, so many people
Speaker 3: had better ideas than that. So it's only saving grace
Speaker 3: is that it's a big swing. I love a big swing.
Speaker 3: I try not to cuss out a big swing. But
Speaker 3: it's everyone else's fault of mine, the amount these people
Speaker 3: talk this thing.
Speaker 2: On My whole life. People are talking about this ship and.
Speaker 3: I saw it not too long ago for the first time,
Speaker 3: so mad. I cussed the whole movie out and I
Speaker 3: waited brit I thought, oh, it'll come around, and it
Speaker 3: never did.
Speaker 2: So stupid, so stupid. Everyone who likes it is bad.
Speaker 1: Did not expect that. Outside I'm so good, I would
Speaker 1: never have. I'm really really bad of you. You're in comedy,

Speaker 3: him do whatever he feels.
Speaker 2: That's a miracle. Miracle.
