Mr. Mystery. Give us your first hint. My first hint. Who are you? Who am I? Well, I was born in Sydney, Australia. I said that. One of the most exciting cities in all of the country.

Can I ask you a question? Of course. And I shall answer honestly. Were you born in the peak Sydney era, sort of between... You know, crocodile, dandy, and the 2000 Olympics. I am a lenial, that is correct. Okay, cool, cool.

Cool, cool. And I even went to the Sydney Olympics. Oh, I am the millie with Sid, Milly and Oli, the all-star team of the mascots that brought our city to the forefront. And I even remember Lizzie, the Paralympic mascot that does not get as much attention. Yeah, I don't give way too much, Mr. Mystery.

I can't say so, we know. Because I'm getting starting to pick up on who you might be. From that. Oh, no, I've revealed myself as a frill, that collision enthusiast. There's only one around town that can be known. Mr. Mystery, we know no so far there from Sydney. We know that they are the Lenny.

Yeah, they know about the Olympics. They probably know too much about the Olympics. Sydney Olympics. Next time, you bet so by the way, but go on. Well, Fatso, or he was my hero's growing up. Fatso, the Fats won that right in that she, yeah. Oh, okay. Okay, no, no, please go.

We have a comedy fan. Oh, okay. Okay, no, no, please go. The comedy fan. Oh, I actually love the comedic art. Oh, okay. Do you want to give any more hints? Or should we just ask questions? Oh, I love these probing questions. Okay, I love to be probed, that's another. I love eating facts.

Oh, he loves to be probed. Yes. Okay, here's a question. Um, are you an enthusiast? Oh. And here's an answer. I simply adore cinema. Cinema, you say?

Yeah, I love movies, filmmaking, the techniques directors employ to elicit the motions from their audience members. Cameras? Cameras are the capturing device. They capture the drama or may even comedy. That directors have blocked and planned out, and script writers have brought to you

through the wonderful work of actors. They like smoothy, they like improvises. Wow. And also sometimes regular day people, heck documentaries are format too. Oh wow. You know what? I want a riff, but I've gotta keep guessing.

You can have a riff. I was just gonna say, I don't care about movies, I only like my big action Marvel movies. So I don't understand what this history of cinema has got to do with that. Oh my Lord, okay. Let the record show steam is pouring from my ears right now

as I hear such atrocities. There is such a rich history to cinema that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a racing moment by moments, taking up the data on the streaming websites that could be going to classic such as the work of Peter Bogdanovich and other authors from the American New Wave movements.

Okay, so I've gone a lost track. I believe you are Martin Scorsese, I'm director on film Archivist. I am a beautiful Archivist, you may know me from the Martin Scorsese cinema project where I restore and look after some of the great works of authors from around the world Well, it's Martin school say that we got into that and I made Kundorn people know me from Kundorn a movie about that ballet llama He's life growing up and what he did in his early years. I love I imagine I've never seen any of them But I imagine I you my favorite movies by you are the long ones where you explore your faith. Oh, of course you know me from the last temptation of Christ

They explores Christ as if you were a real man that grew up in the early days of the early O's yeah Yeah, it was great work with my buddies Harvey Cartel, Willem Dafoe and Barbara Hershey. And then a special appearance as Pontius Pilate, David Bowie. Well, we really tried to get sting for that role. I'm available. Who, busy sting, probably having tantric sex or something in that era. Yeah, Bowie was so good. I can't believe he wasn't your first choice.

No, that's the other one. I like to explore who they can bring with different stuff to the roles and stuff You know, Marty can I call you, my god. Of course everybody does darling Marty Don't worry. We'll plug the real you and your project maybe in the intro, but I think we've decided you're playing Of course, it's a flawless, flawless characterization. Marty. Yes, of course, bro, then.

You are still. Thanks for knowing my name. It's incredible. Yes. Hello. Marty. Yes. Marty, you are still working.

You're how old are you now? I'm approximately 77 years old. Yeah, you're an old. And I guess you're 79. 79, you know a kid. Oh, I guess? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're 79. 79, you know, a few years, like, canoff. I don't count the coronavirus years. I think it to make my projects.

Yeah, I'm coming up on you. I mean, you don't want to advice a lady. Oh, of course you would have been a high risk. I'm a knoll fella. I'm living with my daughter Francesca looking after me. She's my wife, whose name I don't know. Oh, of course Helen. Helen, of course, Helen scores as course Helen. Helen, of course Helen Scorsese presumably.

Helen Morris. Can I ask you a question? I really shouldn't take my name. I'm so famous in my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting. Well, maybe she's her own woman. Well, you know.

Kate Blanchett. I'm a different era. Yeah. Kate Blanchett goes by a different name, I believe, in private life. Really not one of her characters. Kate Upton, okay. Yeah, she goes by Kate Upton. Wow.

So the funny story is on the aviator. Oh yeah. And she didn't go by Kate Blanchett or Kate Upton's shoot by Catherine Hepburn. Now is it hard getting that technical effect even though the technology is now the fuck? I'll tell you this mate, it was fucking easy. Oh really? Yeah, we just put it in the computer. I'll tell you this mate, it was fucking easy. Oh really?

Yeah, we just put it in the computer, did some magic move on there. Let me just keep you right now, see if you can. So we hit Cp, you know, chucked it on, chucked it out. You know? Wow. You cut the whole movie, you do the whole movie, cut it all up according to the script

that I put together, my storyboards, and at the end I just said, command A on all of it. Right click, go down, see if you click it, but it being valuable. Beautiful, beautiful stuff. Now I hope this isn't rude to say Marty, I can't call you Marty. You can call me Marty and I'll warn you if this is a rude, I'm known for my fiery Italian passion. And I will waste to you brother. Well I hope I'm not overstepping along, but it would be wrong to say that you like a short film. Is that fair?

Well, I was prepared to be insulted by a question. Yeah. And I may be there's some insinuation that I have been known to make a rather large scale film with a lengthy runtime, such as my work on the Irishman. The recent film of my 2019, worked with Netflix. But that's how we linked up. I would say, I mean, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we both, we He always ban a Russell and a Cell Brace. All our colleagues.

And then we, yeah, that's how we linked up. But I would say that I do like short films as well. I've made many short films. The big shave was a movie I made in film school. And that was a guy shaving in front of the mirror. And he keeps shaving after he's got all the beard off, begins cutting to his head and blood come out. How long does this go for?

About six minutes. What are your feelings about films then between half an hour and two and a half hours in length? Wow, okay, I like them. Yeah, I like them. I like to watch every movie. I'm a big sinner for myself. Yeah.

Even though I make other movies, I also like to watch the movies. And so I like the Italianness coming there. I have a little bit of Italian accents, you know, my parents were Italian. Yeah. Catherine, my mother. Oh. Catherine, my mother. You made her farm good fillers. She plays Joe Pesci's mom in that. Really? She plays my mom in real life. I got a question for you. Of course. And I have some answers. Before you're directing and you're being a film writer. But a lot of people don't know.

You're also a bit of an actor. I've acted in many things. Yeah, you acted in that movie about the, I think you're, were you in that movie about the quizzes where they were faking the quizzes? Quiz show by Robert Redfield. Were you in there? I'm in that for a moment, I believe.

Yeah. I believe I'm in that. Often I pierce talking heads in documentaries about old movies and shit like that. Yeah, you were there. I mean that for a moment, I believe. Yeah. I believe I mean that. Often I pee as talking heads in documentaries about old movies and shit like that. Yeah, you love that. And every now and then, I love to act. I've been in public enthusiasm. I've played myself directing Larry Davis, if you were a gangster in one of my pictures. Sharktail.

And a voice over for Sharktail. As what? I played a blowfish, a puff of fish. And what did you for Sharktail. As what? What are you expecting? I played a blowfish, a puff of fish. And what did you do to prepare for that role? I really went back and looked at every puff of fish that I could find. So either in fish mongers warehouse,

I would go examine the puff of fish. I would talk to aquamarine biologists and go ask some questions. So what's your favorite fish life? That far. Of course. Were you talking to Daniel Day Lewis getting some hints?

Well, he's a friend of mine. Yeah. I collaborated with him several times on movies. Yeah. Of course, gangs of New York. Yeah. She's setting my hometown of New York City.

Yeah. Exactly. I know you would know all of your life. I was sitting by. Oh, yeah, that was a character. I was playing at the start of the show. I was trying to throw you off. But you do know a of your life. Oh, you know, that was a character. I was playing at the start of the show. I was trying to throw you off. But you do know a bit about the Sydney Olympics.

Yeah, of course I was there. Were you actually? Yeah. Oh, that's incredible. We ended up doing down. But I know you would know everything about your life. Yes, I lived it after all. Yeah, but the fact that, you know, it, you know,

I have perfect recall of it immediately. But you have perfect recall of this person's entire life and portfolio. Yeah, so tell us more about who else was in, what was it called, Gengs of New York? Oh, Gengs of New York, I was working with the great Liam Nissen. People would know he's a work form Schindler's List

and taken to. But I would be working with Liam Neeson day to day. And I've got one of my modern musics. It was the first time I worked with my modern musics, Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio. And he is a magnificent talent. What do you like about Leonardo DiCaprio? He is sexy. He helps with finding his. He's sexy. He's sexy.

He brings the teen girls to my movies. Oh, that's it. And that's why I key audience. That's how you can at least survive against the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which I think is trash and roller coasters. But the only way you can get those big audiences is by having a beautiful, hunker spunk, like Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah.

He's your captain, Captain America kind of thing. I guess we have to put in the parlance of the everyday language you speak. I would say that. He's my captain Marvel. Do you use IMDb at all? Oh, I have DB. I don't need to use it. I've seen every movie. I have DB. It's a fist thing you've ever seen, Alex. I have deep pain. We reveal who this really is. Okay, you're fair enough. Oh, you can't go with this. I think I'm amazing. Yeah, no, let's take a right hand turn.

We're here with Alexey Tolyop, who is the real. What a twist. Wow, yes. I can finally reveal the facade, believe it. I am Alexey Tolyop, and I shall begin to speak in my normal voice. It's slow. I'm going to be facade, believe it. I am a lexitoidopolis and I shall begin to speak in my normal voice.

Slowly as I leave the character. Wow. Yes, I've quite a different intonation than I was using for Marty. So you were hinting when you said things about Sydney Olympics. Those were actually hints towards you, Big. That was the real me. And then there was a moment in our discussion where you had a wrong guess, perhaps a comedic purpose. That was really just the bit. Yeah, that was really the whole bit. But then we decided

as a threesome here at this table to embrace the chaos of our moments. There's actually a lot of people that know this, there's a fundamental rule with implementation. It's called yes and yes. And we did it. We did just that. Now, I think anyone who's been listening for the last 15 minutes knows a little something

about you already and that's that you love Flix. I love movies, I love to watch them. I love to research them. I love to research them. And I love to celebrate them with my friends and audience. Can I ask, this is a tangent. What's the best time of the week to see a movie? Oh, holy synomokes. And I want your opinion on this too.

Because your movie guy too. It's actually a synophile. You're a synophile. No, no, no, look. You couldn't have, listen here, you know, sure, I love a movie as much as the next fella. I've got to sit next fella, it's me. Unless the next fella is this guy, this guy is a bloody walking encyclopedia and I don't know how to do that.

I mean, my end DB. You are DB. There's a quite work with it, it's in the second passage. He used DB again, purpose only in the first passage that, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big I don't know. He probably went by Benay for a short time in high school. He seems like that kind of guy. I'm going to be Benay for now. One time, in year 11, my school didn't offer drama, but I'm going to be an actor when I grow up.

So I had to go into the middle of the city to do drama as a unit of... As a unit? Yeah. And it was with like 25-year-olds doing a higher school. And that was me and Tom and a bunch of other people, Tom, who does their recording, hi, Tom. Hi, Tom. Hi, Tom.

And I decided that when she's like, let me know what nicknames you want, or if you go by something else. And I said, I go by text. I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I's so good. How'd you ever use texts before? No, never before. I just decided that I'd be text from then on. How'd you dream of a third? How'd you dream of being texts? I guess I'd probably dreamed of it.

It's a pretty good thing. I think you could call your texts. I'd really like that. And then for like no one ever called me in that again, apart from the teachers, middle age lady, you just go, okay, text. Now it's time for your text Kelly. Can you come over here? Brodym, text Kelly the teacher's middle age lady, you just go, okay, text. Now it's time for your... Text Kelly, can you come over here?

Brodom, text Kelly. That's so good. I will, because we are in the same room sharing today, I'm going to say, at about the same time, I decided that I was going to change how I pronounced my A sound, so I went from dance to dance. Wow. And Tim and Dan, I just thought I had a cut,

a certain, a genus said, quiet to it. Of course, it's a squashedness to it. I was dating someone at the time who I was still end dating, but there was a gap. And they had new South Wales parents, and they pronounce things that way. And I kind of liked the ring to it. So I was like, fuck it, I'm going to do it.

And I kept doing that for maybe four or five years until second- year drama school when our acting teacher didn't directly say it. He just embarrassed me enough because I was saying dance in a scene. He was like, and then you say dance or dance or whatever you're saying, but dance. Anyway, dance, dance, dance.

There was a cold chill that went through me. And I knew it was deliberate and I never did. But, oh my, boys. I was shared with you as well. I have a story not to speak to you as well, but where or text I should say. When I started high school, I have a vivid memory of being in the car with my father, first day being taken to high school.

And in primary school, I was well loved, but I was very nervous. I was going to high school and being like, well, what if I'm a fucking loser? What if everyone thinks I'm a fucking bitch? Sure, a fat shit loser. And I would not to be make a friend in high school. I was very nervous about that.

So in the car and the way of them thing, like what is the one thing I can guarantee to make sure I'm cool day one? And I was like, the name Alexi, I've lived it for long enough. It's a bit lame. It's not very cool. This is great, but.

Well, thank you so much. Now I've embraced it, but I was like, what can I do? My, you know, Alexi's from Alexander, Alex Zandross, and I was like, okay, well, I'm gonna go Zander. I'm gonna do Zander. I'm gonna be Zander from henceforth. I'm like, the name Zander, I decide this

on the way to school, and then I'm like, okay, I'm Zander, I'm Zander, I'm Zander. I'm gonna introduce myself to people as Zanda, that's who I am now. That's a cool version of my name. And then they did the role in first class or whatever. And like, and Alexander, and I'm like, oh, it's actually Alexi. And I then immediately the guy sitting next to me was like, Alexi, that's a girls name. And it was too late.

So I never went by Zanda. My dad picked me up from school. Hey, Zanda, that's Alexi, that's a girls name. And it was too late. That's I never went by, and my dad picked me up from school. Hey, Sandler, I said, Alexi still. Oh, oh my God. You could put that as a scene in a movie and it wouldn't read true.

Yeah. Well, you know, sometimes life is stranger than fiction. That's what they say, Alexi. I think this has been a beautiful sharing that we've done here. And I think we've really neutralized the threat. That was the best thing about that. We've all shared to a level that no one

is ever going to bring it up again. Exactly. It's full fear of the other thing being brought up. Exactly. I mean, the Reddit will. Yeah, the Reddit. Let it be known. I never want that story to be repeated

Yeah, we respect the Lexi Zanda yeah, you can call me Zanda. What do you think of Zanda now? It's an odd choice I'm glad I don't think it would suit me And the toilet is and the cage. There's some pretty cool sanders. Oh, the Sandic Cage, of course, from the triple X movies. Triple X 2. Yeah.

That's maybe it. Triple X 2. Well, he's in, not in Triple X 2. Is he first? That's ice cube. Oh, Return of Sandic Cage. Yeah, it's Grace. Yeah, that's Vin Diesel.

That was the Vin Diesel pattern. He said no to sequels because they weren't enriching the car. I'm not back for two. Vin Diesel said that. Yeah. He said no to sequels because they weren't enriching the crowd. I'm not back for two. Vin Diesel said that. Yeah, he said no to fast and furious because it wasn't enough like, it wasn't enough like the Godfather II in the way that it didn't reach out. Well, the youth was a furious F9 years like Godfather II where they cut back to old and young Vin.

Yeah, yeah. They know they did, it's out. And they got a space. They got a space? Oh, nine, yes's out. And they go to space. They go to space? Oh, nine, yes, nine. I thought you meant John Cena. I'm coming 10. There's rumors of time traveling.

Wow, wow. Wow. Wow, okay. This is the first time hearing of this. I'm hearing this for the first time. Yeah, rumors of time. I think it's a great idea. Whatever you say, that's a great idea, I think.

What are we doing here? Oh, I didn't answer your question. The best day to see a movie. Oh, yeah, please. I love to go Monday night. Monday night, yeah. Is that a price point thing? Usually it's when I get to go for free.

Oh, that's what I like to go to most. That's when they love a little premiere. They do a premiere, they do a preview, and that's when I like to go to most. I'm pretty new to the premier world. I'm pretty new to the premier world. I, and I remember the first time I went to a free movie and got like a free popcorn and a free... Coke, warm Coke.

No, it was a themed cocktail. Oh my gosh. That was really bringing out the gun. We'll show you a guess from the cocktail theme. Okay, yeah, I'll try and get let you guess from the cocktail theme. That was 70 star cocktail. Okay. There were two choices. One was like pretty fruity fun, sexy, the other was rugged, like, you know, musky kind of stuff. And it was about

those two pairs. Wow. And that in quite work together, as well as you would have hoped from the script. Oh, wow. Like those are the two cocktails they represented the two leaves. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Wow. Close though. Wow. Is it once more time in Hollywood's? No, it was early in that.

Oh, really? The other funny layer is I got this invite while I was still working at Village Cinemas. And I got this invite through my agent. And but it was at another village cinema that I'd done a shift out a few weeks ago. Are you walking the red carpet in the way in? And I was like, all right, I'm gonna only go to ones

at the other cinema. And then they got me, they saw me on the list, one of my managers saw me on the list. And he was like, he works here. And I was like, you fucking dog. What was the movie? Oh, I can't remember his name. Who's in it? And he was like, he works here. And I was like, you fucking dog. What was the movie? I can't remember his name.

Who's in it? Russell Crowe and Pretty Boy. And the Mortar de Vos. The Mortar de Vos. No, the new guy. The new guys. Oh, the other guys. The other guys.

The new guy is pretty other guys Mark Warburg will fail the new guy is It's DJ Quols Yes, and then and nice guys is Russell the night the nice guys are Ostal crew and of course mug a quality She's in it and then glory right

And glory right isn't it. Yeah, I left that movie and I was like that's the fucking best movie I've ever seen Wow, and then I think over a few weeks I'm like, I might have been the cocktail of this free podcast. I, uh, this is different for a Donut podcast, but I think we're going to go with this. I've got a story I think that our audience will appreciate about the level that we're at to the premieres that we get in the wine too. So we got an email from our manager saying, uh, you're all invited to the premiere of Top Gun Maverick. Wow, okay.

This is all true. Yeah. And I'm like, that's gonna be fucking incredible. I'm gonna take my dad, he doesn't go to movies anymore.

He goes home, I'm like getting the car, I get in the train home, pissed off, get home, very upset.

I'm like, oh, no, what are we gonna do? I get in bed, look at my phone. This can't have just shown up, not checked his email, and just walked in and sat down. Got a photo on the press wall, and just seen the movie in its entirety, with no one stopping him already. So I'll tell it from my perspective, right?

So there were some issues with, we also got invited to a Bob's Burgers premiere. Oh, I got invited to a Bob's Burgers premiere and I turned it down. Yeah, right, right. We haven't seen the series. You know, they make it work. They keep looking. They show Bob's pecker in it the same way the Simpsons did with Bart and Simpsons movie. That's why I would see it on the big screen.

Thank you, I said Bob's pecker. It's a pay to play. So from my perspective, right, I had, there was an issue with the tickets for that. And so then I had thought I'd seen a confirmation. There was a chain of emails, you know, where it was like, don't worry, it's all good for the other one. So I thought I'd gotten that confirmation. So was a chain of emails, you know, where it was like, don't worry, it's all good for the other one. So I thought I'd gotten that confirmation.

So I didn't feel the need to check, right? And I'm like, I'm like, I need to read, just to play on the top gun line, the need for speed. So I'm like, I'm at work, I have a big day, and then I get in and I'm running late, I'm running so late, and I was like, I can't cancel though,

because I don't want them to be mad at me. I know, you'll never get another so late and I was like, I can't cancel though, because I don't want them to be mad at me. I know, you'll never get another premiere. Good Lord. So, I'm in my like casually clothes. What are you wearing? I'm wearing this, exactly the same outfit. And who is it?

Bit of a mark, Zachabird. I'm mocked up a bird. Mock is a good bird. And I broke up and I'm like, I'm running late and I just like, fuck it, I've gotta go and wear my normal clothes. I wanted to dress up a little bit for it. My partner can's also on my own.

I'm like, I actually, this is not fun for me. So I roll in, and it's the weirdest energy. They're just like, hi. And I'm like, hello, me to see Top Gun. And they're like, okay. And then one of the guys there was like, hey, I'm a big fan. And she's like, oh, I'm like, this is a weird energy.

She's like, come on through. And I'm like, all right, then I go in and they're like, do you want to get a photo? And I'm like, it was this weird energy the whole time. And then I do the photo, and then I like go in, and the cinema's full, right? There's no seat. There's hardly any seat.

And I'm like, I can't see a seat in the cinema. And then I see one seat right in the middle of the cinema in the perfect spot. Yeah, and then I go in I'm sitting next to next to next to the big wig next to you. No, it's it's the mum of a comedian and she loves top-gun So she's telling me all about it. There's mom. Who's all more famous than us? Oh, probably. Probably. Oh, what? Yeah. Who's more famous than you guys?

Jamoan? Jamoan? Jamoan? Mamooan? And they're telling me all about how great top gun is. So I'm getting all that context. I sit down, it's like an iMac, not VMac. It's a big one.

And I have one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life. I get, leave the cinema, I get on a train, and then I go, oh, I best do a post to thank them for the, and then I check the email to make sure that... What the hashtag is. Yeah, what the hashtag is, what the deal is, and then I see that email.

And I realized that, because the whole time I'm thinking, God, bro, no, it just didn't show up. They asked for tickets. I'm like, you guys should show up to these premieres. We won't welcome you. We won't welcome it. Paramount Plus is launch of a new movie. And I'm like, this is, you guys should really show up.

I'm feeling a bit of, and then I see this email. And I'm like, oh my God. And then I have this dilemma where I'm like, I have to post that. That's about you. But then I also don post, that about you. But then I also don't want that to see, but there's this weird deal I got going on

with Paramount that like, and piss these guys off. So I'm like, I gotta like make this a joke and it took me a really long time to write. What did you write? I just, I played it a lot more like not so long. I was like, I just rolled in. Where it's actually the whole time. It was just like, hello.

Hi. Hey. That's a good in. Where's actually the whole time? It's just like, hello. Hi. Hi. Hey. That's a good movie. It's a fantastic picture. It's a fantastic picture. Best cinematic experience. It is wonderful.

I saw it in a 4D X star, which is a cinema of movement. I think it was, it's called D-Box, the one I went to go see. Is that just vibration or is it chair moving? It's the vent. It's the vent. I believe it is hoist, the hoist D-Box. And there was a moment where the chair lifted my feet off the ground for the first time. It's a plane was taking off. That's like, this is one of the more magnificent experiences

I've ever had sitting down. Did you say, did you think I'm in a plane? I'm on a plane. My brain thought it did. I, as a rational human being, who's lived many years on this earth, was like, I know I'm watching a movie. There was literally a point where I thought,

Oh, there was an animal instinct in my head that said, you have taken flights. To like a bird. Why are we just do the, I reckon we do the tenant thing now, and then do the other one for the next podcast. Because we've got Alexi here.

Yeah. We've got Alexi here. Alexi, your film, that's, we've done 30 minutes. How have we done 30 minutes? This is that you were just said that the exact time we made an internet. It's like,

oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. So we can just keep rolling if you want. Um, factor tenet thing. I like the other idea, Ben. What's the, I just the movie's one. Yeah, great. Alex, you got anything on?

Oh, yeah, I've actually fully turned into Larry King. Just no, if not no fucking. Yeah. Yeah, I'm actually here for a reason. I'm here for a Larry King. Just no, if not no Kings. Yeah. Yeah, I'm actually here for a reason. I'm here for a reason to plug a promotion. Yeah, we plug it. I'm plug in the series. A series of web episodes.

I'm made for finding users with a wonderful production company called Having You Done Well, PTYL TV. Is that so? And so we have a vested interest in bringing one. Yeah, of course. And you both appear in this series. Oh, wow. It is, oh, you know about it.

I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to,

Me and my comedic partner, Cameron James, we are investigative journalists as well as comedy people. Cameron James, you say, well, he's been on our podcast

a fan favorite. He's a fan favorite. He's a fan favorite. He's a pretty funny guy. I know, and you've heard us separately. Imagine the wonders of us together. That's what I'm gonna implant in. I've seen it, I'm wondering if you're gonna see it.

I can't imagine. So this, what it is funny, we have a repertoire with each other. We have a certain chemistry that comes along. That's important. Yeah, it's very important. That's like Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Yeah, in Lala Llan. And extra squad.

And sort of what was lacking a little bit between Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe. Yeah, really I think they're wonderful together too. Oh, I'm a big Russell Crowe fan. Yeah, love the intro. And he's a big boy. I love him. He's a big boy now, though. It's I love that about him.

But we camera and I, we make invested documentaries into pop culture, little interesting things there. So we made a new one, if you guys are the first video web series in the history of mankind made by camera and I. And it is about a video game called Kanye, Quest 3030, which was a Pokemon theme style game about Kanye West, battle wrapping other rappers. It came out in 2013. people liked it, disappeared.

But two years later, the game re-emerged. We're someone found at hidden level. And this hidden level gives you all these hints. We have to answer all these interesting weird questions about philosophies and stuff. And it was seem to be a recruitment tool for a new age cult called ascensionism. Wow.

So we investigate Kanye Quest 3030. Well, I'll have to check that out, find out. We will win this story. It will actually, so you know quite a bit about it. Yeah, yeah. And you can vouch for its quality to your... Is that probably... Is that the better thing to do? I would say the one thing I would say having seen it is what I would say to people who are going to go watch it. It's in an email, man. You could go watch it. I know the end. You don't remember what it was. I remember what they filled the end people who are gonna go watch it. It's in an email man. You could go watch it.

I know the end. You don't remember what they filled the end? They were telling me about it. I think I picked the choice here and I'm gonna stick with it. What I was saying there for a lot of them. You were there. I was next door. What I only wanna say is this legitimately true.

It all is real. Yeah. Which is incredible to believe. Yeah. It's all real. It's all real., which is incredible to believe. Yeah, you know, it's silly. It's all real. Every moment is true. There's not a moment of me being false on camera.

Not like you pretending to be Martin's gonna say it. No, no, I'm Alexa tollyop us throughout it. Wow, yes. I imagine the EPs when they were pitched this idea, they must have bid at it because it's got a bit of everything. It's serial, it's strange comedy. They must have said, we have to make this stop-sack, stop-sack.

Where can you watch this? Well, you can find it on the Grouse House YouTube channel. Oh, what's that? It's up to you. Like, you had to do this. What? I believe it's initially a form the sketch group on a dollar two.

You know, we're in a great, yeah. To kind of give different people and comedic people a chance to... You don't have to do this at length, and you don't have to do it. And to use your audience to... Zanda. To...

I've been activated. I've been activated. I'm actually really fucking... I'm zanda, and I'm really fucking... Yeah, you're actually having me on the show, man. I mean, like, not a big deal, whatever. The twist is the coolest thing you can be is a Lexi And that's what we'll say to you people wow listening that you could be a Lexi to you can

What takes is to study film a lot and really not care about the other parts of your life? You got a lot of blue race. I got to have at least probably two thousand. I'd say you got a lot of blue race. I got to have at least, probably 2000 I'd say. You got a lot of blue race. 2000 blue race. Well, that's a, I understand. I said at least, probably 3000. You got to have at least to call yourself a Lexi. He's been gubbed a blue race.

He's like a black goat, Alexi. I've actually never changed. I've been the same since day one. I've never gone through a metamorphosis of character in my life. You were born with 2000 Flores. Yes. It just took me a moment to find them. You were born in a lot of different Flores. Yes, I'm like, Kundal.

I was already lived this well, then I just had to go back and find my belongings. We'll do another one with you. Next week. See you next week. See you next week.
