47
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 5: Lots of chugging. There's a lot of chugging that goes on.

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: And you can still handle a chug.

49
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 4: You have to be prepared.

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 6: There's certain conditions and like sometimes somebody will hold you,

51
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 6: hand you a freezing cold beer and want you to

52
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 6: chug it, and that that's not fun.

53
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 5: I chug any temperature, guys, Kevin's the fastest chugger.

54
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Do You have to be cautious of the drinks that

55
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: people give you. Sometimes you have to see it be poured.

56
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: You're worried about none of.

57
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: Us has been roofed so far. We're not handsome enough.

58
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 6: But Johnny Knoxville showed you a trick where you throw

59
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 6: a shot, you get the shot that you throw it

60
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 6: over your shoulder while the other person's did.

61
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: I showed him that trick.

62
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 5: You know, I thought you chrick on the egg.

63
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: People kept buying me shots in that and rouge, and

64
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 4: I can only drink so many, so eventually, after one

65
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: or two I would throw the third one over my shoulder.

66
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 4: But I was usually so drunk that I would occasionally

67
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 4: hit someone right in the face.

68
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 6: Right, And then when we did Irish car bombs.

69
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well what happened was I did hit somebody right

70
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 4: in the face. They go, oh my god, oh super Troopers,

71
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: I got away with it.

72
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: I imagine that's the same effect with like police officers.

73
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: They see you, guys, and you're like, oh, supertroopers, guys.

74
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, we get out of a lot of tickets, get

75
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 5: out of jail free cart.

76
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 6: Oh man, I was so busted in New York City.

77
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 6: Sometimes you're out running around New York City and there's

78
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 6: no place to go to the bathroom.

79
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: So I ducked into like I ducked into a.

80
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 6: Construction scaffolding, and as I'm still in the middle, you

81
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 6: can be in the middle of taking a leak and

82
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 6: feel when a cop is right behind you. And I

83
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 6: was like, oh man, I'm so screwed. And I turned

84
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 6: around and the guy's eyes got huge. He's like, you

85
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 6: have no idea how lucky you are, buddy, that I'm

86
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 6: a big.

87
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 7: Because you'd go to the see why you wrote the movie.

88
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 7: You're like, we're gonna get out of all the things.

89
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought it would be the opposite. We thought

90
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 4: they were really unhappy with us.

91
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 5: We're nervous.

92
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: So I saw the movie last night, and good. There

93
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: is this weird thing that happened in the theater that

94
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: I haven't experienced when going to see a comedy in

95
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: a while. It was this sound that I'm not I

96
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: wasn't used to. It was lasting laughter the entire time.

97
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: People were laughing throughout the entire movie.

98
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 5: That's great.

99
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: I know.

100
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: I feel like from like the maybe like ninety nine

101
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: to two thousand and seven, they were just comedy banger

102
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: after comedy banger, just NonStop. Yeah, but now I feel

103
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: like there are very few and far between. Why do

104
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: you think that is as creators of comedy movies? Why

105
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: do you think we're seeing less right now?

106
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 5: Some of its budget.

107
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 8: I mean, there's there's a bigger focus on these bigger

108
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 8: tent pole movies, right, so comedies, well, they think the

109
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 8: comedies aren't as.

110
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 5: Lucrative for them, so they don't make as many.

111
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 8: And then I think, since you know, COVID was obviously

112
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 8: a problem, but comedy movies haven't come back since COVID.

113
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 4: Laughter, it spreads COVID easily, oh.

114
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 6: Yeahd ten times as fast.

115
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, But I mean there hasn't really been a

116
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 8: big comedy yet. Right, since we've come back, there hasn't

117
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 8: been a Maverick sized comedy.

118
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I was thinking the last big theatrical

119
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 6: comedy was like Crazy Rich Asians. Is like the last

120
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 6: time something came in and did gigantic.

121
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 9: But that's not really like a comedy.

122
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like, yeah, not like a traditional ur ur

123
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 6: kind Offinger or whatever, but just in terms of something

124
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 6: that isn't like action genre, comical genre, gigantic ip.

125
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

126
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: Is it also that you have to worry about what

127
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,559
Speaker 1: you make fun of? Like in a canceled culture world?

128
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Is it harder to make a comedy in twenty two?

129
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: Don't worry about it.

130
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because I feel like your movies

131
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: they're very It's kind of all the comedy is inflicted

132
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: towards the characters. You don't really go outside of it,

133
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: you know, have a whole lot of pop culture references.

134
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: It's all like within the characters.

135
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: So I feel like that's why a lot of the

136
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: Broken Lizard movies have stood the test of time.

137
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, our philosophy has always been to try

138
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 8: to make a movie where you feel like it's a

139
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 8: group of friends hanging out, you want to hang out

140
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 8: with them, so it's not likely mean spirited. The idea

141
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 8: is to you know, be kind of good natured. And

142
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 8: I think, you know, the Cancel Cultures thing seems to

143
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 8: focus a.

144
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 5: Little more on the mean spirited humor, I think, which

145
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 5: we don't really bring.

146
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 4: To the hunchback in this movie.

147
00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 5: He's the hero. What are you talking about?

148
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: Because we insult them a lot.

149
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 6: He's there are We had to get him to zero,

150
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 6: go from zero to hero, so we needed some zeroism

151
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 6: and so you know, you get some stuff chucked at

152
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 6: him or you know, gets.

153
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 7: It's hilarious that like the only real issue on the

154
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 7: movie was the thing with the oysters.

155
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 8: Yeah oysters, Yeah, we had we had a problem.

156
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 5: We got a letter from the SPCA.

157
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 8: There's there's a lot of oyster eating in our movie,

158
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 8: and we got a letter from the SPCA saying that

159
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 8: we were not allowed to shoot those scenes because we

160
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 8: would be harming animals in the making of that of

161
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 8: the movie, which has wass do No animals were hard

162
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 8: to making this movie and apparently you know, the oysters

163
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 8: are live when they're in the shell, and if you

164
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 8: eat them then you'd be violating that rule.

165
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 5: So they told us we couldn't do it.

166
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 8: So we had to either shuck them first, or we

167
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 8: made a kind of gross concoction of mushrooms and lemon juice,

168
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 8: and that was the oysters that we ate those.

169
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 9: Paul just recently started eating oysters again, right.

170
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, guys, finally back onto oysters after like it, truly,

171
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 6: it was so part of it was the joke in

172
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 6: the movie is that it is the ultimate status symbol, oysters.

173
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 6: You have really made it if you're eating oysters. And

174
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 6: then I think when they sourced the oysters for the movie,

175
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 6: their logic was then, well, then the biggest oysters would

176
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 6: therefore be the best, which isn't the case at all.

177
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 6: When we were scarfing down you know, yeah, twenty thirty

178
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 6: oysters in a take, they were the size of your fist.

179
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 6: Like I've never had to chomp, chomp, chomp an oyster before,

180
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 6: you know, like and you so yeah that that that

181
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 6: experience really took.

182
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 5: Me off for a while.

183
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 6: Reflex fact now and we realize I'm glad because a

184
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 6: lot of are promoting now people bring oysters who have

185
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 6: seen you know that when we do.

186
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: Different media tickets you get free.

187
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, but this is funny now because it's almost like

188
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 6: the maple syrup thing, like these guys have been haunted

189
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 6: for the last whatever twenty years, never.

190
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 5: Again, chugging maple never again?

191
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: Is that the one you regret the most? Putting the

192
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: maple syrup in the everybody now, everybody wants.

193
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: To that one really almost killed us?

194
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 5: Syrup.

195
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. I drank two and a half and I made

196
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 4: him drink three and a half because I'm like, you

197
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: don't have it yet, Well, let's do another couple of takes.

198
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, afterwards I had to go shoot

199
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: a love scene which didn't even make the movie. But anyway,

200
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: he went, I mean we were we at lunch. We

201
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 4: laid down in the dark in my trailer and just

202
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 4: shook all for the entire thirty minutes, just shook. And

203
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: then and then when I got back to the hotel,

204
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: he I saw him coming out. He goes, have you

205
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 4: pooped yet? And I'm like no. He goes, report back

206
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 4: to me after you wait, and he goes, there's a reason.

207
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 4: It's part maple syrup is part of the of the

208
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: Master Cleanse. And you know, like things came out of me.

209
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: I don't remember putting in like like a fossilized robin fetus.

210
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't remember that.

211
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 5: One.

212
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: Jay is a director.

213
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: Do you ever ask for another take when you really

214
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: don't need another take, but you just want to mess

215
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: with the guys?

216
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, if it's something, if it's something that's uncomfortable for them, sure, yeah,

217
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 4: I'll do it just for fun, just for fun.

218
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: Another main focal point of Quasi is the torture. What

219
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: part of filmmaking feels like torture to you, guys?

220
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 5: That's an excellent question, that's a.

221
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 8: Good question, But I don't know that any I mean,

222
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 8: it's it's such a rare thing that we get to

223
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 8: that point where you're actually shooting.

224
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: You know, it's not really that bad.

225
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: They say, You know, we had we had an assistant

226
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 4: director who used to say that, because you they end

227
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: up calling you to the set hours and hours and

228
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: hours before you actually work.

229
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: It's the waiting.

230
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: It's the waiting. And this assistant director said, uh, you

231
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 4: get paid to wait. You act for free.

232
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: People think that behind the scenes of a movie there's

233
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: a lot of fun things happening, but it's really just

234
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: hang out and trailer waiting.

235
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 3: To the next scene.

236
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and and yes, sometimes that is painful. I

237
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 6: think what is nice though, what mitigates it is you're

238
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 6: with your buddies in that downtime, if even if it's

239
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 6: in holding and you're on the side. And then when

240
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 6: we get somebody who joins us, that becomes the time

241
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 6: that we get to know each other and make friends

242
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 6: and like and like all the time that we spent

243
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 6: hanging out.

244
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 5: Compare our downtime to other downtime that you haven't.

245
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 7: Well, and then that's the thing, like this, who gives

246
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 7: who gives the best downtime? I've actually sat and hung

247
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 7: out because I usually am walking around or trying to

248
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 7: keep my energy up. But the energy was just coming

249
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 7: from talking to you guys.

250
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 10: You know.

251
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 9: It's like that's that's the that's the key, Agre.

252
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: What is it like to get the part, to get

253
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: the call like you're going to be in the movie.

254
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 9: I was shocked.

255
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 5: We were shocked, said yes, I mean shot.

256
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 7: They called and they you know, had I had an

257
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 7: offer and you're like, you know the Broken Lizard. Guys,

258
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 7: was like yeah, huge fan, Like they want you to

259
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 7: do this movie. What it's a movie about quasi motive.

260
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 7: What okay? So I read it thirty pages in and

261
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 7: I'm like, this is such in the vein of money Python,

262
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 7: which I'm a huge money Python fan and and you know,

263
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 7: a fan of theirs, so it was like, hell yes,

264
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 7: But then I was also petrified they're the real.

265
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 9: Deal, you know what I mean?

266
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 7: And I'm just coming in and hoping that I can

267
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 7: be funny and keep up up. And everybody was so

268
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 7: warm and welcoming. From the moment I met everybody, it

269
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 7: was just boom boom boom boom boom boom.

270
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: Another part of the movie is the winning of a lottery. Now,

271
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: if you guys won the lottery, which is like half

272
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: a billion dollars right now, and you were able to

273
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: make any movie you wanted with that budget, what kind

274
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: of movie would you make?

275
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 5: Oh boy, a really sad drama.

276
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 4: Isa, we have a movie set in ancient Greece with

277
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 4: the Plato and Socrates and Zeus, Poseidon and haighties, and

278
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: it's got some visual effects. It'll probably be.

279
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: Is that what takes up most of the budget, the visual.

280
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: Lie and that one and that one. We're gonna need

281
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 4: some some green screen.

282
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 9: Do you need an Athena he always always need a goddess.

283
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: I was saying to Medusa to I never.

284
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 9: What are you trying to say?

285
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 6: Okay, I never get jealous about somebody else winning the lottery,

286
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 6: But that last big two billion one, the guy was

287
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 6: a mile from my house. It could have been in

288
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 6: my town a gas station that I go to. And

289
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 6: I'm still mad about it, which is terrible, you know,

290
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 6: but like coming, it's coming, that's close, which still.

291
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 5: How many takes you buy?

292
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, did you buy one?

293
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 6: I did buy yeah, at that gas No, because there's

294
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 6: also a donut shot. My logic was a lot I'm

295
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 6: not gonna win the lottery, but at least I'll get

296
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 6: donuts if I don't buy my ticket at the donut shop.

297
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 6: And so instead of going to the gas station, I

298
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 6: went to the donuts.

299
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 4: My uncle won the lottery twice. Twice he won a

300
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: million and a half. Once he kept playing the same

301
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: numbers for years, and then he played the same number

302
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 4: and won fifty thousand more. And his name was Money,

303
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 4: and they and he invested in our first film.

304
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 8: Wait, he a million, the first million and a half

305
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 8: and then and then fifty thousand.

306
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a lot of money.

307
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 5: That's pretty good, pat for the tickets bought himself the corvette.

308
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: I think Quasi is also the most visually studying movie

309
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: you guys have made, and ironically it's going straight to streaming.

310
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: So I wonder, as filmmakers, where do you stand on

311
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: that debate of if it comes out on streaming or

312
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: if it comes out in theaters.

313
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: How do you want your art to be seen?

314
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously, I think we would love it always

315
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 5: to be in theaters.

316
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 8: I mean seeing on the big screen like we did

317
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 8: last night is great, it's fantastic, but you know, the

318
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 8: realities of the world. You know, we made the deal

319
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 8: for this movie when the pandemic was going on. There

320
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 8: was no theatrical and so you know, we didn't even

321
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 8: know how the movie would get seen, you know, So

322
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 8: it was a good it was a blessing that we

323
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 8: were able to do this thing through Hulu. But ultimately

324
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 8: for us, you know, people discover our have discovered our

325
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 8: movies with watching with their friends and their living room

326
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 8: or their dorm room or whatever it is. You know,

327
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 8: we we they really kind of grooved prominence that way,

328
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 8: and so I think, however we can get it to them,

329
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 8: We're happy.

330
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 5: We're happy about that.

331
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: Another part I really enjoyed was in the credits.

332
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: You have all the bloopers, and what I noticed is

333
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: there are different lines, there are different jokes, and so

334
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: do you just shoot a bunch of different jokes and

335
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: then how do you pick the one that ends up

336
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: making it in the movie?

337
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, we do. People.

338
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 8: People come with alts, or they come with you know, options,

339
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 8: or we'll be sitting there and think of them on

340
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 8: the spot and do it and then in the edit

341
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 8: room you kind of decide, you know, which one lands.

342
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 5: Like the funny thing was.

343
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 8: That thing you have where he's down, he falls over

344
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 8: the railing and you look down and you have that

345
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 8: Schwarzenegger type line. And we shot like six of them. Remember,

346
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 8: were shooting at the end of the night. He was

347
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 8: like two o'clock in the morning. Me, you and Lemmy

348
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 8: were standing off camera just ye say this, say that,

349
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 8: and the crews like rolling their eyes, They're like, come.

350
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 5: On, we want to go home.

351
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 4: I was texting for that one. Yeah, yeah, and.

352
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 8: They were there were We had the eddit room and

353
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 8: we tried all of them, and I liked a different one.

354
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 5: It was had the word shucking it what was. It

355
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 5: was like a hucks to be You. Yeah, shucks to

356
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 5: be you. I like that one. Uh, but the studio

357
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 5: hated all of them. They hated all They're like, they're

358
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 5: terrible lines, and we're like, well they're supposed to be there.

359
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 5: That's it's a Schwarzenegger line. You know what I meant?

360
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: You know, I mean I love the one.

361
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 5: I love it too.

362
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: I guess you fell for me.

363
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

364
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 10: We had a scene when Michelle's Tawney gets shot in

365
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 10: the neck and we and then Gabe improvises a line

366
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 10: and then we react to it.

367
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 4: But we just went off for maybe twenty thirty minutes.

368
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, it wasn't in the script or anything. Every character

369
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 10: just was reacting, making scenes character and you had to

370
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 10: be in that room.

371
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 5: I brought a bunch of times, gave breaks, breaks all

372
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 5: the time.

373
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 6: Did you ever cut together a version that just sort

374
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 6: of made a whole scene out of us yelling at

375
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 6: the guard who shot Michelle.

376
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 5: And the neck.

377
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 8: The editor cut has that I would love you with

378
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 8: everyone's thing.

379
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 5: And then there's a longer version of the one where

380
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 5: he stabs.

381
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 8: The guy and the guy's not dead and he stabs

382
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 8: there's a longer version of that I cut.

383
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: So super Troopers came out when I was ten years old,

384
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: and I feel like it was very influential on my

385
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: sense of humor rewatching it as an adult, I feel

386
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: like you guys don't get enough credit for the writing.

387
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: The writing is just so solid and every single one

388
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: of your movies. So I wanted to share with you

389
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: the top three quotes that I use in my everyday life.

390
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: Oh yes, and it is from all your movies. So

391
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 3: and number three I have he can't pull over any farther.

392
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 7: You get.

393
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: Is it true that that opening scene was based on

394
00:15:59,360 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: a true story.

395
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a true story.

396
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 8: It was I think it was Lemmy or They were

397
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 8: trying to go over the border into Canada and these

398
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 8: guys got pulled over and they had mushrooms and some

399
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 8: guy ate all the mushrooms and then they got thrown

400
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 8: in jail and the brushrooms kicked in.

401
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 5: When the guy was in prison.

402
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: He ate mushrooms for six people.

403
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, terrible. I've had a.

00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: border too. One time, I was trying to get back

408
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: into the United States and somebody with my exact same name.

409
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: I think they were charged with murder.

410
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: You know, they had to like identify that I was

411
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: not that guy, so they held me at the airport

412

Speaker 4: get to watch it up close. Was it's It's one

426
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 4: of my favorite scenes we've ever done, because not only

427
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 4: is Kevin great in that scene, but the kid who

428
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 4: plays the burger dimpestburger guy is also one of my

429
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 4: favorite actors.

430
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 5: He's great, and he's just Charlie Finn.

431
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: The two of them, Charlie Finn and him are just

432
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 4: going at it and I'm like, I'm right here.

433
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 5: It was so fun because I said to him, I'm

434
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 5: gonna I'm gonna tackle.

435
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 8: He's like, okay, here ye are, and then I did

436
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 8: it and he's like, oh my god.

437
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 5: And it was a you know, that's the take that

438
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 5: we used.

439
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 1: You know, my number one is from Beerfest And this

440
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: is one of my wife hates because I do it

441
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: every single time. She cannot say the word frustrating, saying

442
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: it's frustrating, it's frustrating.

443
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 6: Frankly, I find the whole thing a little frustrating because

444
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 6: I can't figure it out.

445
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 8: It's frustrating, frustrating, it's frustrating, it's frustrating.

446
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: He improvised liner is that in the script?

447
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 5: It was improvised. It was improvised.

448
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 4: It was just a matter of originally my line, yeah,

449
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 4: and I couldn't it was your bit. Yeah, I couldn't

450
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: quite get my mind around on how to make it funny,

451
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: and so I'm like, you do it, and so he

452
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 4: did it, and he started doing it. I'm like, yeah,

453
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 4: that's good, that's better. We'll do that, and so then

454
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 4: they riffed on it on that frustrating.

455
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's that's another one of those things where there's

456
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 8: probably a lot on the editing floor about me messing

457
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 8: on him.

458
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, with trying to make it a snap.

459
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: So between Kevin and j how do you decide who

460
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: is going to direct the movie? Because you directed Quasi

461
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,160

00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

463
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,400

00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 4: Koy and when this movie got greenlit, so I just said,

465
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 4: why don't you direct it?

466
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: You said, okay, simple as that, simple as that.

467
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,080

Speaker 1: twenty minute TV show?

475
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 4: Our process is too thorough to crank television out at

476
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 4: the rate it needs to be done, I think, I mean,

477
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 4: because we write thirtyfts of scripts and it's it's possible.

478
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 4: I mean, that would be a good show. I agree

479
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 4: with you. I just don't know if we'll ever I

480
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 4: don't know that we'll ever do it.

481
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 8: No, No, I mean originally it was conceived that way.

482
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 8: There was a there was a moment time where we're

483
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 8: going to do it as a as a TV show

484
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 8: and then and then Fox past, so screw them and pilot.

485
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: And then where are you guys on the Superture Verse

486
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: three D script right now?

487
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: And drafts?

488
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 3: What does that mean? What are the draft what does that?

489
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 4: It's about a month.

490
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 8: It's a full script, you know, and it's just it's

491
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 8: just in an early form, you know, we keep going

492
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 8: through it.

493
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 5: We had jokes and we you know, fixed plot stuff and.

494
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 4: Mostly trying to get the structure working, and then we'll

495
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 4: just pour jokes on top of it.

496
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 7: I'll say, as an actress like coming in and not

497
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 7: being a writer, like in the writing room, to get

498
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 7: to experience that, because every time there was a different version,

499
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 7: we did another table read and then watching you guys

500
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 7: just you know, pitch more ideas back and forth to

501
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 7: each other, and it's just it's a really cool process

502
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 7: to watch.

503
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: It's.

504
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, as much as I enjoy shooting stuff, like those sessions,

505
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 6: you get past, Like what Jay was saying, the initial

506
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 6: sessions are about structure and storytelling and character and plot,

507
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 6: and then those sort of second ten drafts are just

508
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 6: riffing and riffing and riffing, and that's when the miles

509
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 6: get put in, you know, that's that's when the random

510
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 6: ass stuff gets put in, and those sessions are the

511
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 6: best in the world.

512
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: So Quasi comes out on four to twenty. If you're

513
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: listening to this at any other point, it could already

514
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: be out. Go watch it right now.

515
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's twenty.

516
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: The new Broken Lizard release day March.

517
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 5: We trademarked I think, so it's become our holiday.

518
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 4: We write these movies occasionally with a little bit of weed,

519
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 4: so watching them on weed is really it unlocks their true,

520
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: true potential.

521
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: That is the true meaning.

522
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I appreciate the time, guys, thanks for hanging out.

523
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you.

524
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: So since we just talked to the cast, I felt

525
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: it was only appropriate to do my review this week

526
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: on the movie Quasi that we've been talking about. I

527
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: almost thought about, for the first time ever, reviewing a

528
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: movie with the people who created it, but realize that

529
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: would probably be entirely awkward. I also want to share

530
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: with you my entire experience going to my first ever

531
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: movie premiere.

532
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: I am just a big fan.

533
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: If you can't already tell of the Broken Lizard, guys,

534
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: so I already feel I am coming from a bit

535
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: of a bias place of I am just their target

536
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: audience when it comes to these movies. When I walked

537
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: into this theater, it was all a bunch of people

538
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: who looked like me. That combined with getting to sit

539
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: down and talk to them, It's an entirely different environment

540
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: when you go to a premiere and the actual people

541
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: who made the movie are watching it with you. So

542
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: I know that going into this review, I'm wearing the

543
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: freakin T shirt of all things, but I will still

544
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: give you my honest opinion on their new movie. Before

545
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: we get into that, here is just a little bit

546
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: of the Quasi trailer, which is a spoof on the

547
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: Hunchback of Notre Dame, a spoof on Quasi Moto broken

548
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: Lizard style. Here's just a little bit of Quasi.

549
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 5: WHASEI why they wase gonna be late?

550
00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 4: You know what your problem is?

551
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 6: Is it that I've got a fatty deposit the size

552
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 6: of a giant gord.

553
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 5: On my back? Hunchback?

554
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 8: Morning four twenty Get a Tale of Love.

555
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 4: I very much like Phil Rats and I yours the trial.

556
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 4: I'm scandal.

557
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: So it's from the guys who brought you super Troopers,

558
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: the guys who brought you beer Fest, and it is

559
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: an R rated spoof on the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

560
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: In this version of the story, you have Quasimoto aka Quasi,

561
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: who is trying to live a normal life, trying to

562
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: find his purpose in the world in midieval France, and

563
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: then he finds himself in this ordeal where both the

564
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: king of where he lives and the Pope who comes

565
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: to visit in town. The first thing I had to

566
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: get used to watching this movie is all of the

567
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: Broken Lizard guys play two different roles throughout the movie.

568
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: It was a little bit jarring to see them go

569
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: from one roll to the other and try to focus

570
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: in on what the story was trying to be early

571
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: on in the movie. So once I got used to that,

572
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: it really allowed me to enjoy the movie. But what

573
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: really helped watching a comedy like this a very over

574
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: the top, a very raunchy, a very I don't want

575
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: to call it low brow, but it's very goofball. If

576
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: you know the Broken Wizard guys, that is what they

577
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: go for. And I feel like it's a very fine

578
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: line of you finding it funny and you finding it dumb.

579
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: I am the target audience. I find this stuff hilarious,

580
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: and I was worried about that because when you go

581
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: watch a comedy, the way you judge it on whether

582
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: or not it's a good movie or not is doesn't.

583
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 3: Make you laugh.

584
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: And what really helped with this movie and the ironic

585
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: thing we talked about earlier, is that it's going straight

586
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: to Hulu. I have an experience watching a comedy like

587
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: this in a very long time, and I wonder if

588
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: I would have watched this movie at home on Hulu,

589
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: like everybody else is going to have to do, would

590
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: I have the same experience. Because this was the first

591
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: ever movie premiere that I went to. I've been doing

592
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: this thing professionally now for probably seven years. I've gone

593
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: to screenings before, but it's a much different environment when

594
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: the people who created the movie are actually there. So

595
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: the entire Broken Lizard cast was there. Adrian Pilecki was there,

596
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: so they came out before the movie, did a little

597
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 1: intro talking about the film, watched the movie there in

598
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: the theater, and then came back and did a Q

599
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: and A afterwards, and I just felt like I was

600
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: in this group that was a very safe place, and

601
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: it was all these fans of all their movies that

602
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: it just felt so much more welcoming, and there was

603
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: laughter throughout the entire movie, and when you hear other

604
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: people laughing, it is infectious and I felt good laughing

605
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: at things. And it was just an experience I had

606
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: to where I completely turned off my movie critic brain

607
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: and just allowed myself to watch something fun for the

608
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: sake of it being fun. And that is something that

609
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: you don't really get when you watch a movie alone

610
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: at home. So I wonder how this is going to

611
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: translate to all of you who end up deciding whether

612
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: or not to watch this movie, how that experience differs

613
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: because this is their first movie not coming out in theaters,

614
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: and I really feel like a comedy needs to be

615
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: seen with people. And we talked about in the interview

616
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: how comedies are being made less and less, and I

617
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: think it's because during the pandemic, we had that time

618
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: where we stopped spending time with each other and we

619
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: got used to it, and we got used to watching

620
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: different types of things, and comedies were not being made

621
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: that we forgot how to watch comedies. Comedies are the

622
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: best when you go and watch them with your friends.

623
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: It gave me, you know, feelings back to when I

624
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: would go watch a movie on Friday night, you would

625
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: want to go watch a comedy. You don't really do

626
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: that anymore. We are so focused now on, you know,

627
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: consuming things on our own and telling other people about them.

628
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: When it comes to comedies, when you experience something by yourself,

629
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't hit the same way, especially with a

630
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: broken Lizard type comedy. Although a lot of their comedies,

631
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: what they said earlier, a lot of people discovered them

632
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: at different times. I never watched super Troopers in theaters.

633
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: I never watched beer Fest in theaters. But it came

634
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: through the power of word of mouth, people telling me

635
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: about that movie at school. It's a movie that people

636
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: passed around the VHS tip so you could experience it

637
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: by yourself. But then from there you go back and

638
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: you quote all these movies with your friends. A comedy

639
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: is meant to be experienced among friends, and that is

640
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: exactly how I felt watching this movie. It was watching

641
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: it with other like minded people and then also having

642
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: the people there who created it and seeing them be genuinely.

643
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 3: Excited to share this with people.

644
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: I found that was an important factor for me too,

645
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: because for somebody who watches and talks about movies all

646
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: the time. It's all I think about is movies. I

647
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: don't always put a human element to it. I think

648
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: if I come on and talk about a movie I

649
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: didn't like, it's not going to affect them. But they

650
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: have so much passion for their movies to the point

651
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: to where they're out here doing this tour promoting this

652
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: because they believe in it so much. It really gave

653
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: a human factor for me too. Route for it still

654
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: had to be a good movie. I wasn't going to

655
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: enjoy it if it was terrible, but it definitely felt

656
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: like a personal touch that I haven't really experienced with

657
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: any other movie. I know. They try to put these

658
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: teasers now at the beginning of movies, where it's the

659
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: actors coming on before it starts, saying thank you for

660
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: watching it in the theater the way it was intended

661
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: to be seen. But it's a whole different level when

662
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: they're actually there with you. It actually feels like they

663
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: care about their art. But when it comes to period pieces,

664
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: I will have to say that is a genre that

665
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: is right there at the bottom. It goes Christmas movies

666
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: and period pieces of movies. I just can't get into

667
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: the only period piece movie that I just straight up

668
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: love and would consider one of my favorite dramas. Is

669
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: the favorite a movie I was not expecting to love.

670
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't like classical music. I don't like movies where

671
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: people are dress funny and talking in weird accents. It's

672
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: just hard for me to get into a movie like that.

673
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: I was also just coming off with Dungeons and Dragons,

674
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: so I'd already been in a similar pool of a

675
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: type of movie like this, But that really kind of

676
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: gets thrown out the window when it comes to this

677
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: movie because it's so off the wall, because it's so zany,

678
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: because it's so crude. It didn't feel like any of

679
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: those type of movies. Other movies have done this before.

680
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: They took off a lot of inspiration from Monty Python,

681
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: which is why I believe this movie was so self aware.

682
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: They make jokes about the same actors playing different characters

683
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: throughout this movie. And while it is a spoof on

684
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: the story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, it's really

685
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: a story about two friends, and that is what is

686
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: at the center of every single Broken Lizard movie. It's

687
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: a story about friendship, about people you just want to

688
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: hang out with. It was a little bit tougher to

689
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: do that with medieval characters, but they got there at

690
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: the end. I will say the only part of the

691
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: film that lost me a little bit was the third act.

692
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: It got a little bit clunky there towards the end.

693
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: Unlike all of their other movies, where the third act

694
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: is where they really win you over, where something very

695
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: ridiculous happens, this movie kind of walked off in a

696
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: stumble for me. First act, second act kept the plot moving,

697
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: kept the laughs coming, but it was almost like they

698
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: didn't know how to end this movie. That being said,

699
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: I still enjoyed every other aspect of this movie, and

700
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: it was maybe because I wasn't expecting to as much

701
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: as I did that I would say this is a

702
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: top three broken Lizard movie for me. It's hard to

703
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: knock Supertroopers out of that number one slot. Beer Fest

704
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: on any other given day could probably be number one

705
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: for me, but for the sake of this right now,

706
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: I'll put it at number two. Although that is the

707
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: movie of theirs that I have rewatched the most. It

708
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: is kind of my comfort movie when it comes to

709
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: broken lizard movies. Supertroopers is obviously more iconic and the

710
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: one that put them on the map. So that being said,

711
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: I would put this at their number three movie, although

712
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't think if they put this movie out first

713
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: that their career would have been on the same trajectory. Now,

714
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: Quasi is their oldest script and this is the movie

715
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: they pitched before they did Supertroopers, So I will say

716
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: things worked out better for them that they didn't make

717
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: this movie first, because I think if they put out

718
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: Quasi first, I don't think they would have got the Supertroopers,

719
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: they definitely would not have got to beer Fest. So

720
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: sometimes things just work out the way they are intended to,

721
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: and this is an example of that. I think it

722
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: was also important that they made this movie now because

723
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: it does look the best out of any other movie

724
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: that they've done, and that adds a great deal to it.

725
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: Because a lot of it is set design, a lot

726
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: of it is costumes, you obviously have to make it

727
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: look somewhat like they are in medieval France, and it

728
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job at that, given it is

729
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: a comedy, so it doesn't have to look entirely correct.

730
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: They're not full on making game of Thrones here, so

731
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: I think this was the perfect time for them to

732
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: make this movie. Now that being said, I think if

733
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 1: you are a fan of Broken Lizard and all their

734
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: other movies, you're going to love this one. It's a

735
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: lot of what they have done in the past, and

736
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more refined when it comes to the production.

737
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's as memorable as all of their

738
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: other movies. It doesn't have it's not the same setting

739
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: to create those memorable quotes that they are known for,

740
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: but it definitely shows a different side of them that

741
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: they can really go outside of their genre and still

742
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: be funny. I don't think it's gonna win you over

743
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: if you haven't enjoyed any other Broken Lizard film, if

744
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: you're not a fan of super Troopers, if you're not

745
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: a fan of beer Fest, this one is not going

746
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: to be your next favorite movie. Comedy out of venue

747
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: genre is very subjective, so I'm not saying you're going

748
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: to be rolling around on the floor with side splitting laughter.

749
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: But if you watch this with some friends with just

750
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: the intention of having a good time, I think.

751
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 5: You will enjoy it.

752
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: So for Quasi, I give it three point five out

753
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 1: of five Hunchbacks.

754
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: It's time to head down to Movie Mike Trailer Paul.

755
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: If you are new to the podcast, this is a

756
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: portion where I break down a trailer of a movie

757
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: coming to you very soon in theaters or streaming. And

758
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 1: this week I want to talk about Barbie. I've had

759
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: a couple weeks now to sit and think about this

760
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: trailer and what exactly this movie is going to be about,

761
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: and two weeks later, I still don't really have any idea.

762
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: What they say, just based on the plot, is that

763
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: Barbie is going through an existential crisis. She wants to

764
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: leave Barbie World and goes into the real world. But really,

765
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: what this trailer does is just give us the aesthetic

766
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: of Barbie World, what that looks like, what goes on there,

767
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: how they speak in that world, and doesn't really offer

768
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: us a whole lot on the plot. But I am

769
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: okay with that. That is what a trailer's supposed to do.

770
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: It's just supposed to tease us and make us want

771
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: to watch this movie. Mission accomplished with this Barbie trailer

772
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: because even though I don't know exactly how that is

773
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: going to translate to a full length feature film, I'm

774
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: already into the aesthetic. I'm into this entire cast. I'm

775
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: into the look of Barbie. So they are doing a

776
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: really great job on that front. So before I get

777
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: into my full thoughts about Barbie. That just sounds kind

778
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: of weird to say they're making a movie about Barbie.

779
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: But there are so many times we say that I

780
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,479
Speaker 1: can't believe they're making a movie about that, and then

781
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: we get proved wrong. We just had that with Air.

782
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: So here's just a little bit of the Barbie trailer.

783
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 4: I thought I might stay over tonight.

784
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 5: Why because we're gross, boyfriend?

785
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 9: See do what?

786
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 4: I'm actually not sure what are you doing here? I'm

787
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 4: coming with you.

788
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 9: Did you bring your role with Blates?

789
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 5: I literally go nowhere without them?

790
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 3: Oh, looks like this was a little too much Beach

791
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 3: for you.

792
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 10: Ken.

793
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 5: If I wasn't severely injured, I would beat you off

794
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 5: right now.

795
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 4: Ken.

796
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 5: I'll beach off with you any day.

797
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: Ken.

798
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: Anyone wants to beat him off has to beat me

799
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 3: off first.

800
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 9: I will beat both of you off at the same time, beach.

801
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 4: Both of us.

802
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 6: All.

803
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: Nobody's gonna beat anyone off. So you have.

804
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: Margot Robbie as Barbie. You have Ryan Gosling as Ken

805
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: You have Dua Lipa as a Mermaid. The list of

806
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: a list actors in this movie goes on and on.

807
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: The movie is.

808
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: Directed by Greta Gerwig, who has become one of the

809
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: directors that I will watch any movie they put out.

810
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: There's a very short list of directors like that for me.

811
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: Up there on that list is Greta Gerwig, who has

812
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: done movies like Ladybird, Little Women. She is a writer,

813
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: a former actress, and this will be her third major

814
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: film and I am just so drawn to her work.

815
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: When I first heard she was attached to this project,

816
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna be good. Also on that list,

817
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: I would have probably put Olivia Wilde, who won me

818
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: over with Book Smart, who I felt was really ambitious

819
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: in making Don't Worry Darling. Even though that movie didn't

820
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: an entirely hit for me, I do believe it was

821
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: one of the most noteworthy movies of twenty twenty two,

822
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: making her a very noteworthy director. And also on that

823
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: list is Jordan Peel, who was probably just my favorite

824
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: director right now. But the movie is also written by

825
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: Noah Bomback, who is a great director and writer in

826
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: his own right. He wrote and directed Marriage Story on Netflix.

827
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: Also co wrote The Life Aquatic with Wes Anderson. Noah

828
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: Bomback also wrote and directed The Myrowitz Story, so he

829
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: definitely has a writing style that I am also drawn to.

830
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: And the movie was also co written by Greta Gerwig,

831
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: so all the credentials are there for me to take

832
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: away from my cynical brain thinking this is just a

833
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: cash grab movie of Warner Brothers and Mattel trying to

834
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: cash in on one of their most iconic brands that

835
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: they have ever created. Just by the look of this trailer,

836
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: it feels like a work of art to me, between

837
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: the costume and set design, probably already oscar worthy in

838
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: its own right, and then that leads me to all

839
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: of the performances I'm seeing so far from just the trailer,

840
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: and it kind of looks like a comedy version of

841
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: La La Land. Maybe that's because I see Ryan Gosling,

842
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: I see dancing, and I see and even though they

843
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: aren't fully singing in this trailer, it has that kind

844
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: of musical vibe of everybody dancing, and it's just cool

845
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: to see how they created Barbie's Town, all of the accessories,

846
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: all the clothes.

847
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: It looks like a child's playset come to life.

848
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: The interesting aspect of it that I might have to

849
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: get used to while watching this movie, and I hope

850
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't become tedious to watch.

851
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 3: Is the level of acting.

852
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: But you have to think they are playing dolls, and

853
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: the way they are speaking feels a little bit cheesy.

854
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: It feels a little bit unnatural. But when you think about, yes,

855
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: they are playing plastic things, and how those things would

856
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: interact if they came to life, it starts to make

857
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more sense. But I wonder in context,

858
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: is that gonna feel a little bit weird to sit

859
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: and watch a two hour movie like that. It kind

860
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: of reminded me of Toy Story three and the plotline

861
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: between Ken and Barbie in that movie.

862
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 3: It's like they plucked that out of.

863
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: Toy Story three and met an entire movie based on

864
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: those sims their personalities. But this is one of the

865
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: best looking trailers I've seen in a long time, not

866
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: just the set design and costumes, but everybody in this

867
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: trailer is so attractive. It's like they went out and

868
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: got the best looking actors to play everybody in this movie.

869
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: So I definitely feel like that is by design. And

870
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: then you also get a glimpse of Will Ferrell in

871
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: this movie, who seems to play an actual human living

872
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: in the real world. There towards the end of the

873
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: trailer that we heard there, it is Ken tagging along

874
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: with Barbie as she is leaving in her pink car going.

875
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 3: To the real world.

876
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: So it appears that after her existential crisis, she will

877
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: go in what resembles a city like Los Angeles, and

878
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell is there, possibly as the creator of Barbie

879
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: or somebody working out Mattel. That plotline feels a little

880
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: bit familiar to me. It could kind of have that

881
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: Truman Show vibe of where Barbie realizes that she has

882
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: actually been a doll this entire time, goes out into

883
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: the real world and sees herself completely differently and has

884
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: to come to grips with the fact that she is

885
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: this imaginary thing. So for that reason, I think this

886
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: could be a low key sci fi movie, or maybe

887
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers is setting us up to merge this with

888
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: the Lego movie and at the end of this we're

889
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: just going to get one big Avengers Mattel type movie

890
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: where it's Barbie where it's Hot Wheels where it's legos

891
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: all coming together and forming one super movie. So we

892
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: will have to wait and see, but I'm excited about

893
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: this one. The Barbie movie sets to come out in

894
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: theaters on July twenty first.

895
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 6: At that for this week's edition of Movie Line Framer

896
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 6: bar and that is going to do it for another

897
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 6: episode here of the podcast.

898
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: Since we had an interview on this episode, what I

899
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: like to do is create a secret emoji. So if

900
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: you listen to that interview you enjoyed it, go and

901
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: comment on my socials with the lizard emoji. I feel

902
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: like that it's very appropriate for this episode. Drop a

903
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: lizard in the comments. Let me know you listen, let

904
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: me know what you liked about that interview, and then

905
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: I'll pick one of those comments to shout out on

906
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: next week's episode. But for this week, I want to

907
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: go over to my YouTube page, which is YouTube dot

908
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: com slash Mike Distro, where you can watch all my

909
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: individual movie reviews. Over in that comment section. I got

910
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: a comment from the James Rambling Show who said, I

911
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: only discovered your channel recently, but you make good points

912
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: and try to find ways to not be so negative

913
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: and be fair in the process. Shizam two didn't deserve

914
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: the hate. Yes it is fun, but it's not a

915
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: perfect movie smiling emoji. So listener shout out of the

916
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,560
