Speaker 1: Welcome to Get It to Dutch, A screenwriter's Journey. I'm
Speaker 1: Mark and Brendan and we're missing Greg. Or put another way,
Speaker 1: Greg is missing, but.
Speaker 2: We'll get into that. We are well.
Speaker 1: We were a team of Hollywood screenwriters who meet every
Speaker 1: week to read from an original screenplay that one of
Speaker 1: us has written. We give notes and rank the scripts,
Speaker 1: and at the end of the season we were going
Speaker 1: to pitch the best script to the now deceased Dutch Huxley,
Speaker 1: and then we were hopefully going to pitch to his son, Duck.
Speaker 1: But as fate would have it, Duck is also missing,
Speaker 1: probably also with Greg's right, and Duck is gone. We
Speaker 1: know that for sure. It's all over deadline.
Speaker 3: Here is the deadline headline, Duck Duck loose Hollywood featherweight
Speaker 3: Huxley flies the coop.
Speaker 1: That's not fair to call him a featherweight, isn't I mean?
Speaker 3: I think that's a duck play on duck.
Speaker 2: Got it?
Speaker 3: Ducks have feathers.
Speaker 1: A clever duck reference, Well, here's one from Variety Duck
Speaker 1: Quacks under pressure huckster Huxley hides from hot lights of Hollywood,
Speaker 1: so they're assuming he's alive, which I guess is a
Speaker 1: good sign.
Speaker 3: No mention of Greg and any of the articles, but
Speaker 3: we are assuming that they're together.
Speaker 1: And we pitched a tip about Greg being with Duck
Speaker 1: to Deadline, but they passed. They did say that they
Speaker 1: were big fans.
Speaker 3: Though, Oh that is nice to hear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was an auto reply.
Speaker 3: We're pretty sure that Greg's alive because he keeps dick
Speaker 3: downing Duck butt picks.
Speaker 1: If that didn't make sense, his dick is dialing butt
Speaker 1: picks of Duck. We think, yes, it must be Duck
Speaker 1: because somebody's Yeah, it's not Greg's long butt crack. But
Speaker 1: he's also I don't know. He thought he was so
Speaker 1: clever he trained himself to open his phone with his
Speaker 1: own dick.
Speaker 3: Well, he said it was in case of a hostage situation.
Speaker 1: So well, it might be a hosted situation. Whatever the case,
Speaker 1: none of this is good.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that. I think they're out there
Speaker 3: passing out our first look deal. I mean yeah, I
Speaker 3: think numbers on the pig.
Speaker 1: Maybe. I think Greg is out there trying to cut
Speaker 1: us out of the deal all together.
Speaker 3: Now, Mark, he wouldn't do that to you. You guys are roommates.
Speaker 1: We're not roommates. He's staying on my couch.
Speaker 3: Not anymore though, Right, you got the place back, so
Speaker 3: there's some good news here too.
Speaker 1: Kind of, I sort of have the place back. But
Speaker 1: now chris Pine is here.
Speaker 3: What the chris Pine?
Speaker 1: No, that's the dog that Greg brought in to save
Speaker 1: his place, chris Pine. High.
Speaker 2: It's a mastiff.
Speaker 1: If you don't know what that is, it's a fucking
Speaker 1: huge dog that slabbers all over the place.
Speaker 2: Of course you're a big don't pet him. He slabbers.
Speaker 3: O chris Pine slabbered on.
Speaker 1: Me, ate all my pretzels.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, look.
Speaker 1: He's bringing me some.
Speaker 3: Oh it is like Greg's here. What a good dog,
Speaker 3: Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 1: He's a fine dog. And he barks at me when
Speaker 1: I get up to pee at night.
Speaker 4: You're a very fine dog.
Speaker 1: And then he peas on the couch. I have to
Speaker 1: pee on a plant in my room. Did you know
Speaker 1: that that plant is the last thing my wife gave
Speaker 1: me before she jumped off a cruise ship.
Speaker 3: You mean that bucket of dirt that's next to your bed,
Speaker 3: that's the plant your wife gave you.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I died a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: Wow. Kind of like your wife.
Speaker 1: Well, we don't know that's true. Okay, we're not one
Speaker 1: hundred percent sure on that.
Speaker 3: Right, hold out hope. Well, until we hear from Greg,
Speaker 3: we must soldier.
Speaker 1: On that's true, because Greg has left us high and dry.
Speaker 1: And this was Greg's week to write a script. We
Speaker 1: were all set to hear his Star Wars script, which
Speaker 1: was just a craven attempt to cash in on the
Speaker 1: woke movement. He called it R two.
Speaker 2: Me too.
Speaker 1: But now we won't even have the satisfaction of trashing
Speaker 1: that to his face.
Speaker 3: You know, we could just play the tape.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, What what Brendan is talking about is
Speaker 1: last week we all went on a general meeting and
Speaker 1: we recorded it. But I don't think it puts us
Speaker 1: in the best light. So alternatively, we could fill the
Speaker 1: time with, you know, our witty banter.
Speaker 3: Just play the tape.
Speaker 6: It's there.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, don't you have a you know, thoughts
Speaker 1: on the news of the day. But you can't shrug?
Speaker 1: No one can hear you shrug. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: talk about sports or politics or movies?
Speaker 3: Oh god, else we do this, talk about movies. I'm
Speaker 3: sick of movies.
Speaker 2: No really?
Speaker 1: Ah fuck?
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 1: We'll just play the tape. My apologies to all of
Speaker 1: our listeners. Here's a recording of our general meeting. And
Speaker 1: if you don't like it, blame Brendan and Gregg because
Speaker 1: I certainly don't stand behind the decision to air it.
Speaker 2: So here you go.
Speaker 6: Okay, get out of the way.
Speaker 1: Man, All right, let us set the scene for you.
Speaker 1: We're in Gregg's least slingshot. That's right, and I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm in Batman. I would try to describe it, but.
Speaker 6: Just tc three wheels, tons of fun go zero to
Speaker 6: sixty in about five seconds.
Speaker 1: Brendan is riding on the fuselage.
Speaker 3: I really feel like you guys should duct take me
Speaker 3: down or something. I need a belt.
Speaker 2: This has gotta be a lead.
Speaker 1: It's a short trip, so we're currently coasting down beautiful
Speaker 1: Santa Monica boulevard.
Speaker 3: I'm boiling. How come you guys aren't wearing suits. You're
Speaker 3: wearing like T shirts and stuff.
Speaker 6: I don't ever wear a suit to a general meeting.
Speaker 1: Man. We're on our way to Tyson Studios.
Speaker 2: Yes, for a general meeting.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 1: Set the scene for us, Greg, what are we getting into?
Speaker 6: We have a general meeting? Mark is very fun. And
Speaker 6: this is with an old contact of mine. And she

Speaker 6: They're doing movies, TV, film, video games, they're doing virtual reality,
Speaker 6: augmented reality, they're doing it all.
Speaker 1: Man, that's cool. You didn't say it the Chicken place.
Speaker 6: Don't just always it doesn't have to be the Chicken place.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't seem like a very good opportunity if
Speaker 1: it's If it's chicken forward.
Speaker 6: Guys, look at Netflix fifteen years ago, they're sending DVDs
Speaker 6: through the mail, and now look at them. They took
Speaker 6: down Blockbuster, they took down movie theaters, they took down TV,
Speaker 6: they put every middle class actor out of work. They're
Speaker 6: the ruthless bastards of Hollywood. So we need to hitch
Speaker 6: our wagons to a warlord on the rise, just to
Speaker 6: protect ourselves. Let us be child soldiers to the Chicken Empire.

Speaker 6: you know, this is this is the lifeblood of Hollywood,
Speaker 6: the general meeting.

Speaker 6: Then our goal, Brendan, is to make some fans. And
Speaker 6: remember we're going in there. We're just catching a vibe.
Speaker 6: We're not pitching. You're just making fans. Yeah, we just
Speaker 6: wanted to develop something in the future.

Speaker 1: I need a water? No?
Speaker 6: No, never take water at a general meeting. Why what?
Speaker 6: It's a power move. It shows that we don't need
Speaker 6: anything from them. They need everything from us.
Speaker 3: What about this chicken?
Speaker 6: No, do not take the chicken.
Speaker 1: It looks like a display bowl of chicken.

Speaker 3: You're in touchy people.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I spent ten years in Chicago. I don't remember anybody
Speaker 1: touching me.
Speaker 6: But you spend ten years in Chicago? Was that before
Speaker 6: your wife?

Speaker 4: Oh tell me everything.
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 4: Know you've seen the Chicken chronicles.
Speaker 1: Do you know that's a funny thing that's sort of
Speaker 1: out there is a thing that is a thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was one. Now that was just off a
Speaker 4: general meeting, just like this.
Speaker 3: Oh holy okay, so you can think, I mean.
Speaker 4: You really can. Why are you touching my knee? I
Speaker 4: just want to I said, I touch you. Phey, if
Speaker 4: you're not from the Midwest, get your filthy pods off list.
Speaker 3: Sorry, man, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4: Well I should give you guys our spiel. You know
Speaker 4: the great thing about us, we don't have a mandate.
Speaker 4: Our mandate is no mandate.
Speaker 6: Cool that I saw that over the door. Yeah, that's
Speaker 6: a heat creative, creative, free, creative freedom, can do anything
Speaker 6: you want.
Speaker 4: That's the freedom with just a few little rules.
Speaker 6: This fellow hair has no woman beats. You need a
Speaker 6: sandbox to play Brendan.
Speaker 1: I don't want to play Matchmaker, but maybe there's a.
Speaker 3: Sparkle here a little chemistry.
Speaker 4: You remind me too much of my second husband.
Speaker 3: Oh he was a ginger.
Speaker 1: Oh not gingers.
Speaker 4: Huh, No mandate, But we do have a set of
Speaker 4: ironclad rules hand. Oh, here they come rus sandbox.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 4: Well, this is what we need in any script we produce,
Speaker 4: and you can put it in any old way you want. Okay, okay,
Speaker 4: you can. This is where I love to meet with
Speaker 4: the creatives. All right, we do need somebody eating chicken,
Speaker 4: even if they didn't have to refer to it at all.
Speaker 4: It just happens to be on a plate. They take
Speaker 4: a bite, it's a wing, it's drilled. They're grilling. Maybe great,
Speaker 4: how about that? How about even just touch chicken?
Speaker 2: And every scene of every scene.
Speaker 4: I think, every scene. Yeah, that's kind of our deal.
Speaker 1: Sure, and I don't mean to push back at all.
Speaker 1: Let's say we're doing a movie like the Fuck, like
Speaker 1: Reservoir Dogs. Yeah, every single scene someone has to be
Speaker 1: eating chicken.
Speaker 4: Well, they're at the diner, they're eating chicken. That's great,
Speaker 4: They're heading into what about the jewelry store, they're chewing chicken.
Speaker 4: They throw it. Yes, this is what you should be doing.
Speaker 4: But I'll tell you how in reservoir dogs. Every scene
Speaker 4: he's cutting off his ear while he's got a bone
Speaker 4: of chicken hanging out of his mouth, it actually entices
Speaker 4: the dramas.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I didn't I didn't mean to. I didn't mean
Speaker 2: to upset you.
Speaker 1: I just sometimes it's hard for me to to picture how.
Speaker 6: That would work. And I think we could definitely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we could too.
Speaker 1: I just want to state for the record, absolutely we
Speaker 1: could put chicken someone eating chicken in it.
Speaker 4: That's it. That's how hard. There's a few other little ones.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 3: Hey, I just want to say, just because Mark's face
Speaker 3: and his voice and his smile sound awful.
Speaker 1: His lip is quivering, I'm cold.
Speaker 4: Well, there you have it, cold chicken. They could be
Speaker 4: in a meat locker. Do you stand? You do the work.
Speaker 3: Just put the chicken in there.
Speaker 4: Ye, put the chicken.
Speaker 3: That's easy enough, that's an easy face.
Speaker 1: We're in the Yeah, it's a great rule.
Speaker 6: Great chicken.
Speaker 4: Can't name the chicken, you can't personify the chicken. And
Speaker 4: if you're working with an actual chicken, it has to
Speaker 4: be either you know, ill tempered or miserly. It has
Speaker 4: an attitude, and the chicken can't have family, you can't
Speaker 4: have friends. I'm talking solo chicken. Put it in different places,
Speaker 4: whatever you want, but it's a chicken. Now. The chicken's
Speaker 4: goal is it has to be eaten.
Speaker 6: Mmm.
Speaker 4: So there's an obstacle, right. The obstacle is what about
Speaker 4: the people that don't eat chicken? That's where your drama
Speaker 4: can come in.
Speaker 2: Sense.
Speaker 4: One scene has to be about how the election was stolen.
Speaker 4: The whole thing has to be live action, and you
Speaker 4: could direct it if you will get directed. Wow, you
Speaker 4: can direct, you directed, You can direct it, write it,
Speaker 4: and your names have to be on it in the credits. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: sounds easy, right.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't Okay, I think this sounds great. I want
Speaker 1: to preface by saying this sounds super cool. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: was like three back there was one that kind of.
Speaker 4: One scene has to be about how the election was stolen.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, coming out may maybe work with that.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's and can we take the.
Speaker 4: Chicken could be part of a militia? Why am I
Speaker 4: doing your job?
Speaker 2: You don't have Sometimes.
Speaker 4: It has the chicken is at a meeting and they
Speaker 4: have dartboard with a picture of a lazyge out and
Speaker 4: the chicken is at the meeting.
Speaker 2: We can't.
Speaker 1: We can't personify the chicken though. The chicken is just
Speaker 1: sort of there as a chicken would be correct. So
Speaker 1: like the militia members, militia.
Speaker 4: Is on the farm. You've got your low key one
Speaker 4: of you should be writing this down if you want.
Speaker 1: To write down down by a co creator on this
Speaker 1: we are recording.
Speaker 2: And so you said that we can direct it.
Speaker 4: You can direct it, and you have to put your
Speaker 4: names on it.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we want to put our names on it.
Speaker 1: Of course we'd put our names on it.
Speaker 4: Well, you should see the script.
Speaker 6: Oh, there's a script.
Speaker 2: There is a script.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're just my musings. But yeah, here you go.
Speaker 4: Take our names on the script.
Speaker 2: It's a full script.
