About 15 seconds of both
As soon as you cave
You were done
Well you wouldn't let me watch anymore
You're like Brian
Because you're all filming tomorrow
You can't say who you're filming with
Yes
It might be a little fella called
James Cameron
That's right
I'm in Joker 3
Be directed by James Cameron
Yeah
Do you know I hear Tim Dillon's in Joker too
that's the rumor that's the rumor yes
because they got uh what's the name
that other guy in joker one
uh what's his nod
Brian Callan on Samarelle
Sam Marell that's a yeah they got Sam Meryl
so that could be a running team in it
I don't think he's playing a comedian though
but anyway apparently the director
kind of shouted at him what's his name
Todd Phillips Todd Phillips yeah
well I try to direct him
yeah basically because he wasn't like
Todd Phillips was like you're meant to do it the same way
every time he was getting the blocking wrong
and he, you know, he's a fat gay cokehead, you know, he's lucky he's still alive.
Come on, Todd.
It's what I'll be saying about you someday, but you won't be alive, that's the thing.
Hey, I'm not gay most of the time.
I'm pretty fucking straight, 90% of my life.
I'm just gay for pay, but no one will pay me.
That's the problem.
That's the issue, buddy.
Anyway, look, so we got stuff to talk where we're going to talk about David Lynch movies.
Right on.
I have watched, um, so yeah, we're talking about Sweet Life as Zach and Cody at David Lynch.
we know our demo we know what they like
maybe a bit of comic books and star trek afterwards
no just the really okay right okay even even you draw lines
yeah you can't let me go full autism yeah well as I said
I'm not gay all the time so no Star Trek here so I have
watched last highway yes and straight story and
what have you watched I've watched also Lost Highway and rewatched
Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet
You rewatch Maloney Drive?
Well, okay, I watched
I rewatch that a while ago.
Don't lie to me.
A couple of months ago.
I've never seen it.
No, I rewatched Mulholland Drive a while ago
and then the other, over the weekend,
I watched Blue Velvet and Lost Highway.
And I had never seen Lost Highway before.
That's awesome, isn't you?
Yeah, it's fucking great, man.
I just want to check my notes and see if there's anything we can talk about
before we talk with movies.
Just real quick, though.
So, sweet life of Zach and Cody Universe is interesting
because start off as Sweet Life, Zach, Zach,
We're living at a hotel, is a hotel suite.
Yes.
That's like the pun right there,
which I didn't get for years.
Well, you're dyslexic,
so you didn't get that they spelled sweet in a different way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They spelled it as hotel suite.
And then that's sweet life on deck.
Yes.
Well, I forgot, we were just watching downstairs.
Is it still a sweet life?
They're on a boat.
It's a boat.
They got sweets on a boat.
And also, they're going to Seven Seas University,
which is a real, come on now.
That's a bit on their nose.
Even for Disney channels, like, come on, you can do,
just say they're working on the boat.
boat. They go to school in the boat as well.
So they got boat prom? Come on
guys. Yeah, what is it? They're just
on a year-long cruise, is it?
Yeah. Why? I forget
now. Should we watch it there? We sold out.
Well, you watched like five
minutes of it. I've never seen it before.
Yeah, I watched it, but I didn't pay to... I was too
old for Zach and Cody, you know?
See, I was too old for Zach's Sweet Life
on deck. That's my... You know, you have that moment
where you're, like, you're too old for
Zach and Cody. Yes. And you have to re-evaluate
your whole... And then you get a young girlfriend.
Yeah.
for me I think they did their best work in Big Daddy
They were the kid in Big Daddy
Oh man they've got such an interesting career
And they played Ross Geller's son on Friends
Yeah, both of them
Because the things, the two of their identical twins
You could fucking, you know
You can fuck both
And it's not illegal
Yeah, Matthew Perry, he had to go, don't worry
Well, you know what's interesting is
That's still funny, you know, like Matthew Perry
is a member like whole seasons of friends
Yeah
He's a member like fucking one of them
He only remembers
what fucking one
The kids
He's like
That's when you
That's when you
That's when you
That's when you
The drugs
Have taken holes
I didn't know
Where Cody's
Asshole ended
And Dillins began
No what are they called
Dylan and
Cole Sprous
Coal Sprouse
Yeah
Yeah
Anyway
And then they did a movie
The Sweet Life
Is that Cody movie
Oh right
But there are superheroes
What
I'm not joke
They got superpowers
Even the fat one
Well what fat one
Well he got a little
He was chubby for Nickelodeon
Yeah
I'm just saying, you know.
They probably gave manorexia on purpose.
They even made Josh Peck lose weight, you know.
It was like, no piggies, no hogs or Nickelodeon.
Dan Schneider knows what a sexy child should be, you know?
Yeah.
Anyway, so, like, what else can we talk about?
Before we talk about that there, I already got a sense that this episode is going to be a bit of a drag for everyone involved.
Good, good, really, setting the tone there, Brian.
Well done.
Yeah, it's good, yeah.
Just keep you on your toes, buddy.
So I'll tell you what, let's just go straight into
Oh, watch About My Fader
First of all
About My Father is not memorable at all
So it's Sebastian Mano
Whatever the fuck are out
Sebastian Man Oskalco
Who's like a very famous
If You Live in America
Comedian, he's like Italian-American
He's like, eh, oh, the bastard's oldie
Yeah, he's kind of dancing on the mainstream
He's not mainstream per se
Like the way Russell Peters
sells out arenas, but like most
normal people don't know who he is.
Yeah, most good fashion, you know.
So Sebastian Man Oskalco, obviously
he plays to the Wops and the guineas.
They all love him, you know.
He's all like, hey, my pop, he's a real Italian guy.
Oh, my mama play.
She made a meatball every night.
Yeah, it's real Uncle Tom stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uncle Pappy shit out there.
So this movie, it's like,
it's such a non-event.
Like, it just feels like, I can't believe it's released in
Yeah.
Like, nowadays, I don't watch movies.
It's so weird to think of, like, just being released and, like, you know, you go, what,
you take your gal out to watch About My Fader.
Yeah.
Like, De Niro, it doesn't do anything funny in it.
So, De Niro plays his dad.
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure De Niro is, like, he's a bit of a Joe Biden, like, slipped into dementia, I think.
He's just saying yes to these roles.
He doesn't know what's going on.
He's tripping over sandbag.
But, like, there's no, like, big,
hilarious laugh out. So the whole
pro is, okay, so
he, Sebastian Manico
or whatever is, Sebastian,
right? Yeah, yeah. He's married a girl and she's white.
She's a waspy broad. She's a wasp. Yeah, so now
they've got to meet the family. Right.
So it's him and the dad got to meet the rich
parents, and Kim Cottrell plays one.
David Rash is the other.
David Rash. From Succession.
Who? From Succession.
Who do you MP? He's like either Carol or Frank.
Oh, Carl, right. Yeah, Carl, yeah. Yeah.
And he's like, he's kind of funny
and she's kind of funny, Kim Cottrell.
But there's not much goes on.
Like, the trailer reveals
it's a big kind of laugh-out, like moments.
Sebastian Manuscalco, isn't he, like, 50?
I think he's even older than that.
I think he's older than the Nero.
Gotta meet the parents, Dad.
Will you come with me but don't embarrass me?
Yeah.
It's like, mate, you've got a colostomy bag,
all right?
They don't care.
I would have more respect for him
if he actually played like a high school student.
I think that would actually be funnier.
Hey, pop, I just got out of college, you know?
Yeah.
That would actually be hill.
hilarious,
by the way.
If this is like a full-on,
like, you know,
I'm just out of college,
don't know what to do in my life.
Hey,
I was the Pran King,
man,
how's the Pran King?
Yeah.
Yeah,
I've got a receipt and hair lying
and crow's feet,
but you know.
And Crohn's.
Yeah.
Okay,
so he,
so is it just De Niro?
Where's the mother?
I think the mother's dead.
Okay, good.
Yeah.
And it's just like,
at least one family member
has some dignity.
And literally,
just go to the meet the family,
all right?
It's like,
there's no big,
laugh out loud moment. So in the trailer
to reveal the big kind of like set piece
is to do a thing where
they hook up like things
to his foot and he can
kind of walk on water. Have you seen that in the trailer?
No. I haven't seen the trailer. Okay. So it's a thing
where like it's like a big hose
attached to your feet and it projects
you out of the ocean. So it's almost like
you're kind of flying around.
Oh like east pounded down. Yes
like that right. But his pants fall
off, right? So they all see his
penis. That's like the big funny
moment. Robert De Niro's penis. That would be
funnier, but no, it's Sebastian.
Sebastian Manuscalto. Now here's the thing.
So, this all see his penis, and then it kind of
he crashed into the window of a boat
and they can all see his penis, you know.
His big Italian salami.
Yeah, exactly. His big old sausage.
But that's it. You know,
if it was like a case where like,
Yeah, my spaghetti and meatballs
for all the little kiddies on the boat
to look at. But you know what I would have done now?
Because I think in this day and age, with comedy,
you have to go
Freddy got fingered style
you can't just have like
his pants fall down
to see his penis
right
because we've seen that
100 times
yes
we've seen Sebastian's penis
a hundred times
I mean
I've gone
I tell you
if I had a nickel
for every guinea cock
I saw
Jesus
I'd be a rich man
Brian
and I'd be jealous
is giddy a slur
well you're gonna find
what about
what about Wap
I have to say
at least one of them
no I can't
choose. I'm legally
binded. I can't choose.
So it's going to be Giddywop Central.
Come on. It's funny.
But my point is... If you keep laughing, it's funny.
My point is, in this stage, you have to go
really over the top.
Yeah. So Iowa done it where he's kind of
floating above the ocean where his kind of thing is like
almost like...
It's like a... Cover boots.
Yeah, it's like a jetpack, but on the ocean.
Yeah, like a jet ski on your boots, okay?
Yeah. And him and the Niro are both doing it
and both their pants fall down.
and they crash him each other
and he sees a sexy lady on the beach
and his penis goes into De Niro
and he rapes his father
like that
Wilder mid-hares
Are you fucking my ass?
Are you fucking my ass?
There's nobody else here
You gotta be fucking my ass
You fucking my ass
Yeah
But that's like yeah
And then the parents are like
Ooh
And it's like you know
He's like
Oh no
And then the mom's like
My parents don't like you now
I can win him over
Like, you have to really go above and beyond
So there's another scene, okay.
Seby, bring daddy his donut.
My asshole is obliterated.
I got to sit down.
Dad, I'm sorry, I fucked you in the ass.
I hope it doesn't come between us.
Do what?
Fool you?
Fool me what?
Shame on me.
Yeah.
Like, there's another scene, okay,
where they get, um,
so the brother of the girl he wants to marry.
Yeah.
It's like this douchebag, rich guy.
He's one of the workaholics.
Oh, Anders.
it's the white one
yeah yeah okay
I can know because
Anders he's got that
he's tall blonde blue eye
he has the waspy love
yeah yeah it's not Adam the Vine
he looks like he could
play Brock Turner
in the movie you know
if they got Brock Turner
that'd also be funny right now yeah
also yeah again like
if they made the brother like
just a full on rapist
yes
I'm starting to notice a pattern
in what you find funny
so Sebastian
rapes to there
And then Anders rapes somebody too.
And Tim Cottrell, nobody wants to rape her because she's an old dog.
No, I'm just saying, like, if they're like a script doctor's like, hey, they bring me into punch it up.
You know, I know what America wants.
I know what gets people laughing.
I'm just saying like, if they had, it could be a satire of rapists.
Okay.
No, it's like we're fighting, punching truth of power.
Yeah, we're punching up with the rapist's got.
So, but like the bit of it were like,
hey hey sis why don't take this new fiance you was up in the chopper and they go in the helicopter
right and they're flying around you know De Niro's there as well and he's like he's a pretty good chopper
hey look I'm in the air over I'm like a bird over here yeah you know but Sebastian's like oh I feel
sick and they're like hey don't worry I'll land it and he's like no get that open the window
I'm gonna puke okay and this land the plane does he puke no oh I mean come on yeah because
why wouldn't why why not do that yeah and so then the kind of
funny thing is
in afterwards
so like
so the joke
is he was
nauseous
oh I feel
nauseous
oh no
exactly
the funny thing
is that
and even then
like
driving away
and he's embarrassed
and the
you know
the fiance is like
don't worry
honey
it's okay
and that's it
right
now how much
fun you will be
if he
you know
he's gonna puke
he's like
I'm gonna
I'm okay
and he goes
you know
like that
he shits himself
you know
like that
or something
or how about
like
you really over there
where he just
pukes
everywhere
and now he can't
see
in front of him
It goes into the guy driving a helicopter, brother.
It goes to his eyes, okay?
And he's allergic to puke.
And then, because he's got puke in his eyes,
he can't see where he's going,
and his cock goes into Niro's ass.
Like, oh, whoa, I'm really not having a good time this weekend.
This has not been fun for me.
I don't like it.
That's what happens when you leave the city.
This wouldn't happen in the Bronx, let me tell you.
And there's no other real funny things in there.
There's a lot of just like, you know,
they play tennis.
and the family are better than him
Right
Yeah, wasps are good at tennis
That's it
Or like, let's see what
Are there funny things happen
They got like a prized peacock
And I think the accident
He ran over to peacock
And you have to bury you
Oh
And I thought that would like come up
Or something, you know
Yeah, but it never does
At the very very end
The dog is found the feathers
Okay
And they're like
Oh, the dog did it
We got away with that pops
Bump bum bum
The dog starts sniffing around
De Niro's eyes
asshole that rips out the dead peacock.
Oh, I did want to the fight it, son.
I'll do it for you.
I want you to smash.
It was so lame.
Not doing a good De Niro, my De Niro sounds like Dangerfield.
It's too hot, you know?
No one's going to criticize yet.
You start taking steroids.
Who plays the daughter?
Who's the...
Some random bitch.
Who's a nice little piece of coo?
It's not a cool...
It's not Judapitao's wife or anyone like that, you know?
It's just some random...
I picture in Alexander Dodario.
No, her name's like Leslie Bibb.
And she's all of age.
Well, I mean, age appropriate, I should say.
She's like, she's like 32.
She's not, it should have been Sydney, Sweeney.
Again, that would be, he did that.
See, again, like, how much funnier would be
with Sebastian Manacucal, all right?
And he's dating a girl just out of high school.
And they're all crazy.
Hey, I'm Italian.
It's what we do.
We break the laws of consent.
Hey, pop, don't look and down on me
because I'm working class Italian.
He's like, oh, I think because she's only 16, Sebastian.
But then, here's the punchline then.
De Niro has you got an even younger girlfriend
Right
Yeah
Who would that be no
Who would you cast
Oh
Who'd be a good one now
I don't know what you ask me
Name any good 15 year olds
Billy Elish
Yeah Billy Elish
Yeah Bobby De Niro
Was banging Billy Elish
Back
They're great and dirty grandpa
Oh that was some sexy sex
In that movie
Get Plaza out of the way
I just want to see
Fucking De Niro with no shirt
That was fucking hot man
He does yeah
He's looking
older than this than he did in
the movie that came out 10 years ago.
Fucking 78, right?
But fucking Pacino just had
a kid. Yeah, they're still going hard man.
That's hilarious, man. Fair play to him.
Yeah. I can't think of anything
funnier that happens in about my father.
There's not too much. There's a lot of narration
and a lot of like,
so it starts off at you're like, hey, these
are these pictures of my
family, because they look, Italians
we had our trouble. No
race of people's been treated.
than Italians
and then like
look at these
pictures here
of my ancestors
they all had
resting bitch face
oh
and another bit
was like
hey
they're talking about
you know
his fiancé's
parents
like his name
was Richard
Rutherford
the third
hey
the only Italians
I know
with letters
at the end
was Rocky
Balboa
Hey
hey
all right
I got something
out
yeah
I got something out of
yeah
there you go
it was your
Deliver you, Brian really. It did it
for me. Thank you. It's the vast you would have ruined it.
But the way I heard about this movie
is on, we talk about Tim Dillon
there, Tim Dillon did a whole episode just
shitting on it on Patreon
because apparently
over the, like,
Tim Dillon is like kind of done
weird impressions of Sebastian Manuscalco
basically doing the same stuff
I knew as like, hey, I'm a guinea
wap and I love pasta.
And apparently, but Sebastian,
the thing is they're in the same room together
in different comedy clubs
so Sebastian apparently really doesn't like
Tim Dillon whereas me
I'm nowhere near him
should I get away with it
the Guinea Whop Queer
I win
I'm a bit of Sebastian I think now
you're a bit of a Tim Dylan
I think that works out
yeah I'll take that now
yeah I get to bang Leslie Bibb
yeah and I get to bang
whatever 19 year old
Boy, let's me.
It's a good life.
Yeah, so I watched that.
We'll talk about Lost Highway now.
Okay.
I'll tell you what, let's leave Lost Highway to the end.
I want to talk about Straight Story first.
Right on.
Because Straight Story is a pun, because the guy is about Albert Strait.
That's the guy's name.
It's based on the real guy.
Now, what is this?
He drove across country on a lawnmower.
I didn't like this.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I was kind of annoyed by this, you know?
Right.
Because he were meant to think he's, like, cool or something like that or, like, heartwarming.
And he's like, just fucking take a bus, would you?
He's just a mentally ill old man.
You have a fucking mentally ill attention seeking, tramp.
I mean, imagine getting stuck behind Hayman traffic.
He take it on the highway.
So basically, he's this old fella who's got, like, a daughter with, like, a mental illness, something like that.
Right.
Played by Sissy Space Act.
So he needs to get away from her, so he hops on the lawn.
Well, it's a kind of a kill two birds at one stone, you know.
so like his brother has a stroke
and his brother lives you know
miles and miles away
and he's got diabetes
so he can't get
he's got the diabetes
right so he can't get
driver's license
so he's like I'll show you
and he gets his law and his law more
can he actually drive though
nah he can't
he's fucked you know
he's dying as well
you know he needs a walking stick
actually the actor
literally was dying when they're making it
well I know the actor
yeah he had cancer
and he didn't tell anyone
he just shot himself
that's awesome
yeah respect to that guy
huge respect for that right there
He didn't tell anyone he had cancer
He basically kind of like
Woody Harrelson in three billboards
He just wrote a note saying
Hey I'm sorry
But you know what
It's better than you're having to
Cark me around
So I'm just gonna check out
You know what?
There is a selfishness door
It's like you know what
It's for the best
I don't want to be in the way
I don't cause any kind of trauma
I'm going to shoot myself
And leave my bloody corpse
With brains everywhere
Out near the horses
I want to spook the horses
You know
He put a bag over his head
That's Curtis, Cardius
Isn't it?
That's Cornice of Sullivan right there.
Inside baseball there, buddy.
I'm just saying like,
it's still messy.
Jump in the ocean.
That's the best way they do.
Yeah, maybe actually, yeah.
Yeah, the ocean is the best way I do.
Just disappear.
Like the woman we know,
I think her dad jumped in the ocean.
I think that's the best thing to do right there.
Yeah, yeah.
But the other problem is then the tide comes back in.
And you've been raped by a dolphin.
You got just,
a school of fish pulling
a train on you, you know?
The indignity, Harry.
But anyway, so
he gets on a lawnmour and he goes
like, you know, something silly, like a thousand
miles across America, right?
On these little roads. And he becomes
like a folklore kind of story. So it's like
Forrest Gump on a lawnmour, basically.
Yeah, yeah. But, and like, you know, like,
so there's all these little vignettes of things.
So, like, you know, he meets this woman hitchhiking
and she's pregnant.
And it's, uh, it's like PG.
though, right? Yeah, fully PG, yeah.
That's the thing about it
it was a real kind of left turn
for David Lynch, because his movies were so
like, on top of being very
bizarre and surreal,
there's always usually like some
hardcore sex and
violence elements. Well, it's a bit of a
zig there, or zag, where like
it's also, it's called a straight story.
And the pun is that it's a very, very,
he's going straight, literally. And also
it's a very kind of similar, I'm sorry,
a basic like, A to B,
I gotta go meet my brother
And at the end
No spoiler
He just meets his brother
And the brother's like
Y'all better come on in
And you go in and close the door
And that's it like
It's a linear narrative
Yeah exactly yeah
There's no crazy stuff
There's one funny bit
Where like
He meets a woman who's like
Ran over a deer
And she's like
You know
She's killed like
Five deer this week
To keep jumping out
And she's all upset
And she's like
I've tried scaring him away
I've tried playing public enemy
Very loud
But they won't go away
To keep jumping in front of my car
She's like crying
and he's a bit like, oh, okay,
and just drives off.
That's the only kind of,
like, weird David Lynch-style thing in it.
The rest of it's very kind of basic,
you know, like, he meets the girl that's pregnant,
and she's like, I'm scared to go home.
He's like, well, you know,
you gotta go home and raise your kids.
Hop on the lawnmower, baby.
Take my sausage.
Let's get out of here.
Well, he eats sausages the whole time, like a fucking dog.
Like, it's so funny,
he's like, I gotta bring my supplies,
and he brings, like, you know, 400, a bag of 400 sausages.
I was starting to see where the,
diabetes came in
I got diabetes
I don't know how
he's on the carnivore diet
he listens to Jordan Peterson
it's like
you gotta eat sausages there
pucco
yeah if you don't
the tratties win
that's what you gotta do
a poe
Bill C-16
and eat some damn sausages
I do love to
like people are like
you know
I'm going to go on the carnivore diet
like Jordan Peterson
like wasn't he also taking
hardcore drugs
yeah he was like a dick
the Clonopoon.
Yeah, the Clonopin kind of outweighs the sausages.
Oh, Jesus.
So there's no plot in it at all on purpose.
You know, he goes to places like, you know, he stops in the bar and he's like, hey,
oh, time, I want a beer, and gets a beer and talks about the war and stuff like that.
It's like, the war was bad.
So after you being in a foxhole and people shooting at you, drive on a tractor and eating sausages don't seem so bad.
He was in World War II, was it?
Yeah, World War II.
Yeah, when is it actually set in?
Maybe the 80s, I think.
I think it came out in the 90s, I think.
Yeah.
And it was a big success, actually.
A lot of people were surprised by it, and it did well.
And this guy, like, his name's Albert Strait or like that.
Like, he's something that, like, he's someone that people knew way before, like, this movie came out.
He's kind of like a...
Like an urban legend or...
Word of...
Word of mouth thing.
A lot of people would talk about him.
And even, like, the guy, the real-life guy, actually, interesting story.
He hated his letter.
He was just like, I just wanted to meet my brother.
And he could have gone David Letterman.
He probably could have got some serious pussy off of, yeah.
We could have fuck some, uh, probably could have fuck Farrah Fawcett, you know?
Or Anna Nicole Smith, but she'd eat all his sausages, wouldn't she?
A greedy pig, gobbling them up.
But then I was reading up about him.
He tried like two other trips like that, and both times he said got too cold or like, you know,
he forgot his sausages, you know.
Like, he did, he tried, I think he tried to drive his lawn more.
to England or something like that
and then he got like two miles
and was like oh shit
yeah yeah
how long did it take him then
I think days and days you know
and for a while
in real life and the movie
he just ran out of gas
so he just waited for a social security check
to come in and he got his daughter
to mail it out to him so he just like
camped out in like L.A. for a while
you know like the all the homeless in L.A.
Yeah they're all just waiting for
your tractor money
and then they can drive off
Oh, and then they get addicted to fentanyl and they just stay there, you know.
They don't need sausages anymore.
I want to see the straight story, 2023 version, though.
That'd be pretty cool, yeah.
Where what's the drug they're on now makes your skin fall off?
Oh, Trank.
Yeah, they're on Trank.
Yeah, that'd be awesome.
So I wouldn't recommend it.
It's an interesting kind of like diversion in David Lynch's filmography, but it's definitely not like essential viewing.
It's not something, you know, like, well, a lot of David Lynch.
Lynch movies and TV shows
when I watch it I feel like I'm getting
an interesting insight into
David Lynch's weird mind
I actually really
hate and I try to stay away from like
interpretations of David Lynch
like if someone has an interpretation I'll chat with them about it
but like there was a thing going around a while ago
where it's like this four hour video
explaining the 100% true
meaning of Twin Peaks
I don't want to watch that I don't
it's a vibe you know it's like explaining a song
well you can't explain a song
James? Yes, you can.
All right, yeah. You can explain, that's the whole
point. That's like knowing the lyrics of a song, James.
It's ruining. Well, see, you always
sort of chastised me when I try to
deconstruct something, you know, be
analytical about film. I would never chastise you, James.
You have. You pig.
But you were telling me some interesting
stuff about Lost Highway. Can you
tell me more about this? Okay, right?
I've learned my lesson there.
Yeah, no, because this is what you like. No
discussion. No, I hate when
fat retards try to tell me they're
opinions of Philips. Hey, Fannie, open your big cake hole and tell me what you think.
No, well, I heard there's a bit in Lost Highway that...
Wait, sorry about this, still really improved yet. Lost Highway is before Mulholland Drive.
Yes. Okay, I'm just trying to get the order in my head. Yeah, Lost Highway was 97. I believe
Mulholland Drive was like 2001. Lost Highway feels a little bit like practice or like a prelude to
Mulholland Drive in many ways. Now, I haven't seen Mulholland Drive in a few. I haven't seen Mulholland Drive in a
few years.
Yeah.
But in the kind of like, you know, people play multiple characters and like the switches.
Yeah.
I was thinking about this.
This is going to see a very dumb analogy.
But you know the way in The Simpsons, they kind of start off with like a separate plot where
they all go to like, let's say a gardening contest and then something bad happens and on the
way home to see a casino and it's a casino episode.
Right.
Something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like that's a bit like David Lynch or starts off one way and switches very suddenly.
Completely changes.
Yeah.
Well, it's interesting. Mulholland Drive, as weird as it fucking is, is almost a little bit more accessible than Lost Highway. Lost Highway is fucking bonkers, man. Like, I was, I mean, I loved it. I was, I actually was surprised by how much I liked it. What was your reasoning for watching this? Because you were being a pretty bad place recently. So, well, I think that's why, though. Yeah, yeah. I think, you know, I have been in a bit of a bad place, and I was kind of like, I just want to watch something that just really horrible.
and disturbing. I'm going to watch
some David Lynch. That's great. I'm telling you,
Twin Peaks to return. Yeah, I think
I'm going to re-watch all of Twin Peaks.
I think... At the same time, season
one, season two, season three
on three separate devices all at once.
And I'll put a blindfold on, you know?
That's the way it's meant to be seen, Brian.
I think it'd be interesting now if you just
watched The Returns.
But that'll be almost like,
that would be just for my own amusement.
Yeah. That wouldn't be for your amusement at all.
What that supersedes your enjoyment
It does, yeah
You know, actually don't do that James
I won't
It's a very stupid idea
If you're wondering by the way
Watch Twin Peaks
One, two
Then Firewalk with me
Then watch the missing pieces
Ah
Then watch the return
Where did the missing pieces come
Like where was that released
The missing pieces was rumoured
For years and years
So there was all these deleted scenes
from the movie like the movie
the original Firewalk of me was like
I think about three hours long
something silly and they got it down to like
you know two hours
yeah there was a whole extra hour missing
plus a load of stuff that was rumored
that was shot
in the final episode of season two
yeah yeah left out as well
I was this thing that I remember literally hearing
these people like talking about like
yeah interesting there's all these like
you can look up interviews people talking about
these things they shot but you know David Lynch
is like we'll never see it right
and then in like 2014
they released
they put all the scenes together
and the thing is like
you know what David Lynch thing
it's basically a movie
because it's not like
a normal David Lynch film
is like coherent
so you can stick all these
scenes together
and it basically just works
in the movie
yeah yeah
because it's his style
and it's great as well
because you get loads of extra
Keith or Sutherland
there's a lot of people
in Firewalk with me
that show up for a few minutes
are like what the hell
like Bowie and Keith or Sutherland
or in it for like
literally like two three minutes
you're like what the fuck
and there's like
there's all these extra
scenes with them now in missing pieces and that helps to explain the return a lot okay so i think they
deliberately put it out right before the return to kind of generate interest and then the return came out
as well well i you know lost highway apparently now he said he he wrote it when he was in a
very dark place just after did he he walked away from season two of twin peaks right because the
studios or whatever the you know the network were being caught so the network wanted him to have
a definitive like who killed Laura Palmer
and also they moved his
show so they had it on a good time slot
and it moved like a debt slot
you know they moved like late night on like
so he walked away from it
and then the tone really changed right
yeah so he said he wrote lost
that way based on that and look there's
no point really trying to explain
the narrative shivered the cracks we try though
fucking no
well this I'll try my best
yeah yeah I only watch this like on Sunday
I had a lovely Sunday morning
I woke up ate a pot noodle
Watch Lost Highway
You're a bit of an Albert straight yourself
Instead of sausages, it's coffee and pot
noodle with the occasional
Subway. And then your girlfriend
will drag you to a Korean restaurant
You're like, where's the pot noodles?
Give me a pot noodle and sausages.
Where's Lost Highway?
You're watching the football on TV like, will they change
the Lost Highway? I want to watch this
What's the name?
I brought the Blu-ray 4K edition.
Bill Pullman, come on.
Bill Pullman, what's the other of the guy's name?
Balthazar Getty.
Balthazar Getty.
I knew you'd know that.
Of course.
Of course.
Look at you talking to here.
But what was my point?
So it starts off.
Bill Pullman is this like
jazz musician?
Let me do it.
I'll take over.
I want you to criticize me.
I think it'll be funnier for the audience.
So Bill, Bill Pullman.
Oh, nice one.
You got that right?
You're fucking dumb.
That's too much now.
He's a jazz
kind of jazzophonist.
saxophonist.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he's got this bitch wife,
who's actually very lovely.
Patricia Arquette,
the nice big jubbly titis.
And they're getting weird videos
of them sleeping.
That's basically a plot.
And also he's having weird dreams
with a strange man,
this white-faced man, all right?
The mystery man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which, by the way,
you know the mystery man.
I don't know the actor's name,
but like that...
Robert Blake.
That was all him, by the way.
He just showed up looking like that one day.
He literally did, yeah.
Really?
So Lynch was like, you know, very, like,
hey, do what you want.
dress how you think the character would dress.
He was like, I'm going to wear fucking white makeup
and like that. And he's like, I love it.
And shave his eyebrows. He looks freaky
as fuck, man. He does, yeah.
Freaky little motherfucker in that. But he's great.
He's so good, yeah. So he's having these
weird dreams, this white face man. He's
having dreams as a honky man.
Yes. Okay.
The white man. See, he's a
wigger at heart. He's playing
and playing jazz. I'm a saxophone
guy. He's fucking a white bitch as well. Don't get
more black than that.
No, it's Patricia Arquette. I think I said
It's, yeah, Patricia Arcade is his wife.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I could have gaslighted there and said,
you said, you said Rosario Dawson, you idiot.
But, uh...
And then they called the detectives and they're like,
hey, this guy broke in their house to film the sleeping.
Yeah.
And detectives are real kind of like, hey, well, you know,
uh, I don't know, maybe try a lock in the door better or, you know,
what do you want me to do about?
Leave me alone.
Yeah.
And then, um, to go to a party then,
yeah.
He meets the stranger at a very spooky scene.
The mystery man.
Yeah, and he's like, I'm in your house right now.
It's very dreamlike in that sense
It's very weird
It's unsettling
So fucking yeah
The mystery man goes
I'm in your house right now
Don't believe me
Hands of my cell phone
Gets Bill Pullman to call the house phone
And the same guy picks up
It's like I told you I was here
And laughs at him
And he's probably laughing at his little dick
Brian
I assume
A little white penis as well
But yeah it's very freaky
It's unsettling
But like a dream
It's not like he's like
What the fuck?
You know, I was like, guys, this freak, he's just like, hey, that's weird.
Hey, what?
Who is this guy?
You're crazy, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
Why do you think of Bill Pullman in this?
I was an independent state.
What do you think of Bill Pullman in this movie?
I think he's good in this movie.
I think, because he was neighbors, I think, fucking.
I think he just, like, was hanging around nearby Lynch.
And he's like, okay, I'll give you a fucking.
I think it works because Bill Pullman isn't too good.
He's not very, he's not very, he's kind of,
He's almost like a blank slate in a way in this, yeah, yeah.
He's not like, if you go like someone too likable, like even Kyle McLaughlin a little bit,
like he'd be too good, you know, you need someone's a bit weird.
And, um...
And like, because the thing is, Bill Pullman, he's like, he's a good enough looking guy,
but he's not, you know, amazing looking.
Well, I mean, the fact is Bill Pullman and Baltazar Gatti.
Yeah.
It's not exactly like the heavy hitters.
The Balthasar Getty casting, I think, is intentional and that's, uh, people have...
Tell me more.
Okay, so
people say that
you know the tailgating scene
in Lost Highway
So there's a tailgating scene
Where Robert Loja
Yeah
It's the heat man
We're not an array game right now
This is so hard to try and discuss this movie
It's okay
Normally we could talk about Lost Highway
Let's just go linear real quick
Bill Pullman
He wakes up
He basically finds
He wakes up
He's killed his wife
His wife's body
And bit guts
are everywhere. He goes to jail. He has this like spastic attack. He's having migraines in jail.
He has like a weird vision and then he changes. And Bill Pullman has now turned into Balthazar Getty.
And there's this a stranger in a cell where Bill Pullman was. And like the fucking prison guards
are like, hey, where's Bill Pullman? You're Balthazar Getty, basically. And they let him-
everyone's favorite Baltazar Getty. Yeah, yeah. So they let him out of jail. And then now all of a sudden,
the movie, we're following
this new character called
like different name, different guy, different
life. So they've, you know,
they've swapped roles or whatever. It's very
weird. But so
people say that Balthazar Getty
been cast in this movie, because again, as
bad as Bill Pullman is,
Balthazar Getty is way worse of an
actor. Like he is not good
at all. Now they say
that him being cast in
this movie is intentional. Lynch
is making a commentary
about Oliver Stone
and Quentin Tarantino in particular.
So the tailgating scene is like
don't tailgate, right?
Robert Loja,
you know, some guy tailgates him,
Robert Loja like pulls him over
and beats the shit out of him.
They're saying David Lynch is making a commentary
about like shitty hack filmmakers
who are basically like taking his original ideas
bastardizing them for commercial success
and the reason that they point
to those two. Okay, so Twin Peaks, right?
Yeah. Everyone knows Twin Peaks. There's also
there was a show similar to Twin Peaks called
Wild Palms or something like that. And that's Oliver
Stone. And everyone said that was just a fucking rip-off of Twin Peaks.
But then also, David Lynch's movie Wild at Heart,
True Romance and Natural Born Killers.
It's basically the same framework. It's just like Bonnie and Clyde,
but it's like their 90s and grunge.
and sexy and it's all fucked up
on drugs. Balthazar Getty
was in Natural Born Killers
as a mechanic
and his character is a mechanic
in that as well. Robert
Loja was in the Wild Palms
TV show. Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a few different
links like that. So a lot of people
have said there's so many like
the too many
similarities or crossover
things for it to be coincidental.
And then they look at the don't tail
gate you see the driving manual
I want you to learn this fucking driving manual
that's basically David Lynch saying
you fuckers are hack filmmakers
you have no creativity or ingenuity
you're just like taking
ideas from real filmmakers like me
and like cashing them in
and like going for the real like the sex
and the drugs and the violence and the pure
base level basically you're trying to race
to the finish line and there's no like
artistic merit again this is the analysis
is like a well known theory
this is a theory that has like a top gun
gating or is it like, yeah. Well, look, again, I mean, you're going to, as you said, you're going to find
hours and hours of people, you know, like, like, analyzing. Here's the thing I think with David
Lynch. Also, Critton Tarantino was very vocal in his disdain for Firewalk with me. Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like at Cannes Film Festival, he was like, I just watched two hours of David
Lynch disappearing up inside his own ass. It's pretentious and depressing. I don't understand the
reaction to Firewalk
of me is so interesting
people literally
booed that
like people like
you know
people basically
were lynching him
yes
yeah
pardon the pun
you know
like that
what pun
what is that
I don't get it
you're going all weird
David Lynch on me
it's like
it's like
it's like a morbious strip
how do I
decipher
it's actually
here's the thing
again with
Firewalk and me
it's actually
kind of a standard
not standard
movie
but like
it's obviously weird
it's a bit like
lost highway
where it starts off
and it's like
it's kind of weird detective thing.
Yeah.
And then it just switches
and then we're in Twin Peaks
and it's about a girl and her father
and the father is abusive
and stuff like that, you know?
Right, right, right.
It's kind of easy, not, like,
it's not like, you know,
it's not 90210.
But like, it's kind of semi-interesting
and, you know, it's not like,
a little more accessible
than his other shit.
Yeah, yeah, so like,
I heard about it and I taught,
like, it must be like,
more lynched than lynch.
You know, must be like super weird.
It's like, you know,
and some parts of the return are like that.
We're like, in the return,
there's like, you know,
long, long scenes are just like,
like just an explosion bit.
It's very famous, I think episode seven or something like that,
they go back to like the nuclear test site.
Yes, and it's just...
It's a big explosion for like literally like 12 minutes.
Yeah.
It's just a big...
Like a mushroom cloud and you zoom in.
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
The thing is, like,
Lost Highway when it came out,
again, because it was just after Firewalk with me,
like, it's obviously considered like really great now,
but at the time, like, the reaction was mixed.
see lynch initially like you know people were like wow he's great and then it's like oh now he's too weird and pretentious but now he's just been around for so long basically like adam sandler it's like we've criticized him for so long that now we just love him for what he does regardless
david lynch is adam sandler if he stick to something long enough now and i cannot wait until sandler has that kind of like you know is he the greatest american actor you know that's the crossover we need david linds
and Adam Sandler.
That's a link up right there.
We need that.
I think as well,
you're talking about like cast
in Baldazar Getty.
That's pretty similar
like Starship Troopers.
Exactly.
We're deliberately cast like
Vapid kind of bad actors.
And that's the thing with
Balthazar Getty.
He's like he's not just a Nepo baby.
The Gettys are like
Army Hammer.
Like they are like
old money wealthy.
You ever hear of John Paul Getty
the third?
Of course, yeah.
So he's the guy who is like
kidnapped and like tortured
and held for ransom.
That's Balthasar, get, his dad.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And somehow it also became successful and famous.
Yeah.
But that's interesting now.
You know, like, here's the thing with Lynch, okay?
It's like, I do think this.
There is meaning to a lot of his stuff.
Yeah.
I think he doesn't really care.
So I think he's very big in, like, the subconscious.
So I think subconsciously maybe he's like,
ah, fuck them, you know, to stealing my ideas.
And he's like a little bit of him as like, you know,
this.
But I think he's very big in the idea of, like,
I don't think he's
consciously going like
will this all go together naturally
I think he's very big
in the idea of like
I have this idea here
and I'm going to trust myself
and just follow true with it
and make it work
like I mean obviously
there is a lot more
like there's way
like that's kind of
what I just said
is very like surface level
analysis
like people really go
into the weeds
with Lost Highway
with the stuff that they
that like
you know people
the kind of surface level
like Bill Pullman, he
gets put in prison for murder
and his wife, so he then begins to
fantasize that he is
this new character. And people
are like, yeah, that's okay for the service
level, but it's like, no man, the Lost
Highway, it's not, it's actually
celluloid. Look at the way the film
is, it's like a strip of celluloid.
It's like the film is actually
the film, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's so interesting.
The characters in Lost Highway
are, like, they're saying that the
people that are stalking Bill Pullman and
his wife at the start, it's actually
the filmmakers of Lost Highway, because
the scenes where they're being
filmed in bed, the camera
is really high up and
also way too smooth
to be handheld, so they have to say
it's coming from a steady cam,
and then later on, when Bill Pullman
comes back, and he's confronted by the
mystery man who's holding a
camera, but then when we've cut to the
POV of the camera, it's way
high up again to indicate a
crane shot. You'll what, James, I take it a
back. I love this.
Yeah.
This is so much
better than, what was I saying?
I don't know.
You tell me.
I would be like, oh man,
leave you up to interpretation.
Fuck that.
I love this now.
No, so they're saying like the kind of
the,
the,
I was so gay earlier.
You were.
You were.
That's, you know,
that's the cadden twist.
Brian admits he's gay.
It happens every episode,
but he never remembers.
I like ringing the doorbell
is like Brian's gay
and hear someone driving off.
Ryan O'Toole is gay
Yeah
So yeah
There's lots of stuff like that
So like the characters are being stalked
By the actual filmmakers
By David Lynch and the camera crew
And they're like
Who's filming in us?
And like they even go into like
There are characters in a film
That only exist within the reality of the film
So they don't exist outside it
So another scene is like
Patricia Arquette tries
She wipes off her makeup
Right
In the bathroom mirror
And then she turns around
The makeup still there
Is this
She can't be without makeup
Because she's not a person
Yeah
She's a character in the world
Of the lost highway world
The film itself
Give me more to love
They're trapped in the film
You know
There's like
There's loads of shit
And it's like
Initially you can go
Oh that's really reaching
And speculative
That's why it's me
But then you
You go back
can you actually look at the film
and you know the evidence as it were
and it makes her a very intriguing case
I will say that's another thing I've noticed
like there is a lot of times with like movies
TV shows they're like oh actually you know
Pulp Fiction the Gimp was a ghost
yeah you're like we doesn't make any sense
at all the Gimp was Ving Rames
yeah yeah
and he was in the briefcase
the Gimp was Ving Rames
and he was in the briefcase
there's a big black man the briefcase
that's why Travolta was so happy it's like
Vincent, we happy? Oh, we're happy, baby. Oh, yum. I don't want any hamburgers, but I've got
a hankering for some hot dog. There's a lot of things in like, uh, Pul fiction, not Pulp Fiction, in Twin Peaks
and like David Lynch movies where they go like, it's like this. I mean, you watch it,
you go like, it is like the camera thing, all right? Yeah. That's a, feels like a very
conscious, you know, this, as not just a happy coincidence, you know, like that. Like, he's a
fellow maker. He knows what a POV shot is going to look like. Yeah. So that's a big thing.
like when they're sitting down and looking
at the somebody stalking us with a
video camera but you look at the footage
it's a really high up shot somebody's
in the bedroom very high up
but it's a very smooth camera shot
so it can't be handheld or low
down it's obviously a crane
and it's just shit like that like there's loads
more stuff like Lost Highway in particular
is a movie that you can just
kind of you can go hours and hours
purposely it just have that looping ability
to over it. So it has been referred to as a Morbius
strip yeah which is like the
loop of paper that kind of doubles in on
itself. I really want to watch
Mulholland Drive again now. Because I only
watched at once. I was such a great time watching it
because I was high at the time.
It was around Christmas, I remember.
Everyone else was singing carols, like,
bah, humbug, shut up.
But like,
I remember watching at one stage, I was
pretty high and I was like,
I've figured out this movie.
I got you, David, yeah.
Lynchie, I got you.
I figured it out. Just writing the post-it
Joe's run Hollywood
I figured it out
The dark deep twinned
Look at the way the camera's moving
That's the Jewish guy
His Jewish guys move like that
Look at Justin Thoreau
He's a hebe I'm telling you
But like
So let's move on to a minute
Is there anything else I'm going to say about
Lost Highway
You got Richard Pryor in as well
Yeah Richard Pryor
He's great in it
And you know another thing that Lynch does a lot
Especially in your turn
He's not afraid to hire
We're looking actors
freaks. Notably dying actors.
Yeah. Like, in the return,
there's so many actors that, like, they filmed
their scenes. I'm not joking, like, a week
before they died. He's the first
guy that had a casting couch in a hospice.
So, you gotta respect it for that. There's a number of characters
in the fucking, um, in the return
that literally have tubes in her nose. Toob in her nose.
It's like, they're like,
oh, yeah, yeah. Welcome to Twin Peaks. And just die
on screen, you know?
That's great. So he's not afraid. So like, same with Richard
Pryor. He's visibly MSing
all over the place.
Yeah, he's proper. I
believe you're back.
It's so good to have you.
He's not talking like that.
No? Okay.
He's talking like Bobcat Goldthwaite.
I remember reading the thing about
Richard Pryor where he got on stage
and pissed himself one time.
Yeah, like he was in the wheelchair
or like it's like a mobility
scooter and they had to like
pick him up and carry him on to the stage.
He was like,
he had some.
me
better
no he doesn't
of course that
but yeah
he's proper
I mean
it's hard to
sit through that
you know
there's a nice
collection
of little
little character actors
in the movie as well
it's actually
okay to make
that joke
because he was
abusive to women
Brian
so aha
even at the end
yeah
even with his old
MS hands
he's still slapping
him
but yeah
there's a lot
of Gary Busees
in it
as you said
Henry Rollins
Merlin
Marlon
Manson
and Twiggy
Ramirez, played the
porn stars. You can't forget Twiggy.
Yeah. Robert Loja is fucking great in it
as well. Robert Loja is awesome. Lynch is
also great getting actors
and making them just completely deranged.
Especially old actors that you wouldn't
think Robert Loja would
go to that, you know? By the way,
a bit of Robert Loja is on the phone with
the stranger. I thought that was so
cool, man. Creepy man. Yeah.
This guy is like the devil
almost. Robert Loja is like, I'm going to hang out with
this guy. And he meets this weird wife
face guys, like, do you want to fuck people
to get?
Mr. Ayman, do you want
to get pushy with me?
Robert Losey, come on.
Well, okay, Robert,
but I'm actually inside
your asshole right now.
What? What are you talking about?
You're in my ass. Don't believe me.
Here's the phone. Ring your
asshole. Oh, who is that?
Hello, Robert. It's me. I'm in your asshole.
Oh, who am I, Bobby De Niro?
Why is everyone in my ass?
You think it's a pretty neat magic trick.
Do it again.
But yeah, no, it's, I had so much fun.
It pulled me out of my depression.
It fixed you.
I feel great.
I flushed all my medication.
I'm just watching Lost Highway every day.
Twice in the evenings.
You're driving on the M50 watching it.
You're not looking at the road.
You put a screen in front of the windows.
Yes, yes.
So let's talk about a Mulholland Drive.
Do you watch it?
What else do you watch?
Watch Mahal and Drive
Blue Velvet.
Oh, I haven't watched Blue Velvet either
a long long time
which is better.
I mean...
I think Mulholland Drive
want to watch again.
I'm not saying it's better.
Have you re-watched it recently?
No, it's been like two years.
Mulholland Drive.
Yeah.
Same as blue velvet.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Well, I don't know,
blue velvet as fucked up as it is,
it's a bit more accessible.
Yeah, it's more standard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Blue Velvet is like almost purposely,
you know, it's the,
isn't that the whole thing?
It's the white pick a fence, literally.
meeting the weirdness
so it's almost like
it's that's like
foreshadowed you see the nice
picket fence and it's the nice
music and then it goes down
underneath the ground
and you hear all the cockroaches
and like even the audio
it just turned up so loud
just the like scratching
of the cockroaches
and we follow the protagonists
or whatever it's funny
because we follow the protagonist
to the weird world
and it's like we never leave
the weird world then
the weird world
it then is constantly
it's just like you know
Mulholland Drive and lost highway
and a guy with diabetes
driving a tractor. It's just like awful
terrible stuff. Just the most disgusting
shit you can imagine. An old man eating sausages.
Richard Pryor
with MS.
Yeah.
So what's the crack with
Mulholland Drive? Have you, what's the meaning of it?
No, I haven't.
Is that film as well? I watched that a few months
ago. So the whole thing is like
yeah, again, that's like a thing
where like, so it's new
the thing about Lost Highway, it's
like new characters but also new
actors, whereas in Mulholland Drive
it's new
characters played by the same
actors, right? So, but I
think that's the thing of like it starts off
You know, by the way, just interrupt you. Yeah.
So Lost Highway is a movie.
Yeah. And it was meant to be a movie.
Right.
Mulholland Drive was a pilot.
Do you notice? Yeah, it was an hour
long pilot. Oh. And he shopped around
the showtime and HBO and then. They were
like, this isn't Oz.
This is weird.
This is not the Sopranos,
we told you to make
another Sopranos David Lynch,
and this is not that.
He's like,
well, show you.
And then he shot the ending.
So you know the way
like Forrester's in the start?
Yeah.
Robert, is it a Forrester?
Robert, is that name?
Robert Forrester.
Yeah, Robert Forrester.
Like, he was meant to be
a recurring character,
but there's no episode too off.
Yeah, he's just like a cop
at the start when the car crash happens.
And I think you can find
somewhere online,
maybe on the DVD,
the actual pilot itself,
which is just like the first.
I think it's like the first hour
the movie. So before the actual switch
then? Yeah, I think it might be some
extra stuff in there as well. You might like
jiggered some stuff around and fixed it.
So what happened? It starts off. There's an actress
in a limo but her car crashes
on Monholland Drive and then
she's wandering around with amnesia
and then she meets
she just like starts living in a gaff and what?
She meets some new like
aspiring actress who's come to Hollywood to
find her dreams
and they sort of start this
like kind of Nancy Drew
detective kind of thing
but they also fall in love
with each other and start
scissoring bumping tacos
smashing clams Brian
lesbian sex
when I was high on weed
that was scary
I had to call my mom
I tell even when you come down
from your drug trip
it's still terrifying
they don't need me
but like
who's out there laughing at us
I don't know probably some
it's called film analysis
you freaks
they're filming us
they're on the road
I'm gonna close the window
because there's people outside laughing
and it makes me
yeah
it makes my penis
we can hear them
they can hear us
they're getting the podcast
for free
the cunts
this is the free one
yeah well they didn't
you know
click a link
or whatever the fuck
so they don't deserve it
what was my point
oh yeah so I remember
watching it
and I was like this is great
but I'm to switch over
explain the switch over
okay so yeah
the first half of the movie
we think we know
what's going on
it's like
sort of neo noir
they're trying to find out
the woman with amnesia is trying to find out
her identity but then there's
a switch that happens where a character
takes a blue box out of a
closet and opens it's like
a little jewelry box she opens the lid
the camera zooms into it
and then it's like
we've like traveled inside
the box and it's a totally
new world it's new characters
it's a new kind of thing
but it's the same
actor as playing different characters
so I think the kind of...
This is a big thing in all his work
is he loves having
like
either a character
played with two different people
or someone playing multiple characters
you know like you know
an evil character
and a good character
like a weird character
a normal character
so I think the accepted version
is all the stuff
that we saw initially
where like the two of them
are working together
and it's all good
that's kind of like
the dream or the fantasy
and then the later stuff
with like
one of them hires another
like a hit man to kill them because they're a jilted lover
or something. So one half was a dream and the other half
was what actually happened. And it's almost like take your pick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But isn't there like little people
in the end? Yeah, there's like the old couple that she met at the start.
They're like little shapeshifters that are like terrorizing her.
And Justin Theroux's like a film director. But then he's like
he says, I'm not doing this. I'm not, you know,
you're compromising my integrity as an artist. And then he's brought into a room
where just some old man in a wheelchair is like
Do what you're told
Or I will fuck your asshole
With my cock
Or something like that
Yeah
There's that great bit
We're like just like
Remember that the bit that all scare me like
The disgusting freak
The hobo
The homeless
Yeah yeah yeah
It made me sick
Yeah
It actually is like a proper
terrifying jump scare
First time I saw it
I proper like freak
Yeah
It freaks out way more than like
You know like
You know like
Oh my God
It's the Yeti
It's a big CGI yeah
You see all these things now
You don't even pay attention
There's like a scary movie
He's got like a guy with tree heads
And claws and he's like ah whatever
But this was just like
This is a hobo
Because you see those unreal
But it was like a really disgusting
Horrible deformed looking homeless person
And they come like it's like
They come out of nowhere
And they go right into the camera
And they're like yeah
And the music like spikes
And it's a proper jump scare moment
You know
And it's like you reach for your wallet
but then you're like oh thank god
just a movie
see when you're watching white men can't jump
there's a
like about lynch as well
there's not too much of them
there's not too much material
you can bang it all out
Twin Peaks is the long thing
or everything else you can get like
didn't he walk away from the Twin Peaks
the return as well
only for like a day
and that was like before like to actually start filming
it was like preparation because he
so he basically wanted
and he's earned it at this stage
He was like, I want to just film it.
They're like, how many episodes?
No one else can get away with this.
They're like, how many episodes?
Like, I don't know.
I'm going to film it.
Yeah.
And we'll see after I finish filming it.
How long is a piece of string, basically?
Yeah, exactly.
So they were thinking, is it going to be 12, David?
I don't know.
They're like, can you please?
Do you have any idea?
Is he like, I'm walking away now.
Okay, come back.
I mean, look.
And it turned out 18.
Yeah.
Which is a lot for modern television.
For modern prestige TV.
Yeah.
Like, with big budget.
they're all like an hour each right yeah yeah but in fairness a lot of it is like music so i've
told you for like the um you don't listen no no i'm joke i'm joking uh the bit the kind of way
to break up episodes is the cut to the bar and they're a band yeah so they're nine inch nails
everyone the nine inch nails or like whatever and they play so because trent resner did the music
for lost highway yeah yeah so uh that's kind of the way to break it up so a lot of it is
just music and you can skip past that don't worry or you just chill out the
It's pretty good music, you know?
Yeah.
David Lynch's son is one of the bands in there.
Oh.
He's not bad.
He's not like the main singer.
He's just in it.
You know, he's like...
Yeah, yeah.
He's like the...
He plays the triangle.
Yeah, exactly.
Not you, David Lynch was your dad.
It's like, I have to ground you, son.
But I'm going to do it.
Dressed as a Victorian landlord.
And it will become a parent.
Why?
Look, dad, I got, got, got jacket off the gay porn.
It's not a big deal.
just send me to my room like other parents
now son you're gonna they sound exactly like each other
that's the thing hey dad it's me
you're I'm David Lynch Jr.
Yeah I know who you are son I named you for God's sake
I film you coming out of your mother's pussy
Imagine like you know like you know
Dad's like to film the birth of their son
Imagine David Lynch in there
There's like an orchestra and a midget on a tricycle
it's like, don't worry, yeah.
He shoots a black and white and the elephant man's in the room as well.
He puts the elephant man makeup on the wife.
Yeah, the elephant man is the gynecologist.
I am not an animal.
I am an OBGYN.
Have you watched the Inland Empire?
No, actually, I've never seen that.
That's his final film.
Now, that's even, I actually gave up on that.
Yeah, I think that's the one where everyone is like, all right, mate.
Just fucking.
The whole thing is, like, a lot of.
of that is this stuff that he was putting out. So he got really
into his website for a while.
And he started releasing these art projects on his website.
So one of them is called Rabbits. I've seen rabbits.
Again, rabbits was, uh, yeah.
So that's just like, it's just a collection of that, you know, and there's no even like,
um, there's not much kind of like, like, link from one to the other to the other.
It's kind of like just happens, you know.
Yeah.
And there's a lot of like changing from like very, very bad handheld camera to like film and
it just looks kind of bad. And I was not one of.
over by that. That one, I think
that's for the real purists, you know.
Hey, look, you win some, he takes
a big swing, sometimes he misses.
What's, like, um, what's even
like the basic framework narrative?
I don't think there even is a framework. I think it's like
an actress. Right. I think it feels
with samey as well. It's definitely the weakest
out of the kind of tree. Yeah.
Lost highway. Yeah.
Mulholland Drive and this. Like, I think it's like
an actress walking around and then like, you know,
random shit happens. And then they're like
in the woods and like, it is, I might go
back and watch it.
What about Wild at
heart?
Have you seen that
recently?
Long time ago.
Yeah.
All David Lynch
movies I watched
like years ago
when I started watching
Twin Peaks
and I was like
I went against this guy.
Yeah.
And then I kind of like
dropped.
What age were you
when you were trying to get
into Lynch?
Uh,
I'm not too sure now.
So I watched it
I watched Twin Peaks
I don't know.
It was on Netflix anyway.
It was back when I was on Netflix.
Oh.
I was,
I think it was in secondary school.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So.
You're trying to
to get puss.
Yeah.
I was like,
"'Lady, stay away from me.
I'm a bit of a
Kyle McLaughlin.
Do you know Robert Loja?
No.
Well, don't suck my
dick, then.
You will be
my Isabella Rossellini.
Yes.
What's that?
You ought me to hit you.
No, get away
for me.
You whore.
She wore
blue.
Velvet!
You tried to serenade
women.
Yeah.
Yeah, so that's David Lynch right there.
Now, you've really got me going now.
I think it'd be good for you to start watching Twin Peaks.
I think I'm going to.
I think it'll be good.
You can do like your little Twin Peaks report every week.
Yeah.
It's fucking weed.
It's daft what's going on there.
Actually, speaking of weird real quick, just before we go, right?
Yeah.
I was just going a little memory hole right there today.
Do you remember a nice thing to call your girlfriend, Brian?
Oh!
Oh, ho-hoo!
Do you remember the artist taxi driver?
No.
Yeah, because I was joking with someone there
He was a guy on YouTube back in the day
And I was joking like, he's probably dead now
And he's still going
He's this guy he grew the
He became big in YouTube in the early 2010s
He was like, I am the artist taxi driver
The Tories are bad
The Sunday mirror
The scum day mirror
Okay
He just kind of rant in his taxi
And be very kind of basic stuff
You know like Boris Johnson
Get out of this country
he's called the artist taxi driver
so he's an artist all right
so I just kind of watched him
and he kind of became semi big
where he got Russell Brand on the show
so he's just filming in his taxi
screaming
and then like they get people on
and he got like some random celebrities on
and they kind of got him on BBC News
a few times being like
you're a working class aren't you
why do you think about Brexit
Brexit is bad
well there you go
he's one of you and he thinks it's bad
so there you go
and you'll never be on the TV again
there are we three
you fish, you happy?
Slap your fins together.
I'd fuck off, you dogs.
I kind of forgot,
this is the early 2010s.
Before that, though,
he was a performance artist,
and he became known for doing
these unconventional
protest art pieces.
Right, right.
I kind of like half, remember this,
I was just looking up here, like,
what he did, and like, some of this stuff,
I want to get your interpretation of this,
because you know at the moment
to have, like, the gist-stop oil stuff,
and people get up on a snooker table
and make a big mess.
Yeah.
I don't know why.
That makes me so angry.
I don't care about Snoke or toll, but I'm like,
kill his family.
So these are some of the things he did, the protest things, all right?
So the first one in 2002, it's 2002, should say.
Right.
He did a protest called Roll Over,
where he rolled a distance of four and a half miles,
dressed up like a big rubber cleaning glove,
while saying, we wish you a Merry Christmas.
Why?
just to protest the government
oh that's retarded
then he did another one 2003
called poor little lamb
where he pushed around a dead sheep
and a pram
and this was to
this is a protest
this is the protest cuts and child benefits
sure yeah so that's something there
yeah Mary had a little lamb
it tracks yeah
so I'm just looking at some of the good ones here
there's a lot of these by the way
then he did 2003 again
he did chips and beans
where he turned himself into a full English breakfast.
What do you mean?
He sat in a bathtub full of baked beans and tomato sauce
with two chips up his nose.
Yeah.
And seven sausages wrapped around his head.
Right.
All of this sort of performance art shit
is like just so pretentious and stupid
and, you know, maybe I feel attacked intellectually
because I don't get it.
But you know what?
I don't even care.
Even if you do get it, I think that's almost worse.
If you can see some fucking retard
in a bath of beans and sausages
and go, I know exactly what he means.
Like, you're the biggest freakle.
You should be, both he is go in the bin.
It makes me sick.
I don't like it, and I'm never going to like it.
Some of these are pretty funny, though.
Like, he just, uh, he glued a little toy bust to his foot
walked around the protest congestion charges.
Okay.
Uh, you know, what's this here?
How is this?
Why is this of note, though?
Who's actually paying attention?
It seems to go a Wikipedia page.
People like you, man.
Yeah.
He's probably a Napo baby.
Let's be honest.
No, I think he's like,
you think he works in a chipper.
It's probably where we've got the chips
to pop his nose, you know?
Bro, bro, did you steal chips for your art exhibit?
We need to sell the chips, bro.
What you're doing?
I'm sorry, I've got a Poutesh.
Chow Benefits being car.
Your benefits be cut.
I caught your benefits now.
He looked, I'm looking up some of the cancelled ones.
He was going to leave a car engine
running for a full year.
Oh.
The protest climate change.
That's only going to contribute to it now.
Another one, he was going to drag
300 KG of potatoes
through the streets of Dublin while dressed as
Bertie O'Herm. Why?
To protest Bertie O'Hern, you know.
Okay. And...
Well, don't work. We'll do that, mate.
You just stick to your own, you fucking
Prost.
Yeah, and he's still going, by the way.
I thought he was dead. He's still going.
He's like 60-something, you know?
he's one of those old school
British guys that were like they're working class
but they support labour
you know and there's not many of those left anymore
look I'm just like there's no way that he
works in a chipper but has like
a Wikipedia about his performance art
he's definitely he comes from money
I don't think he does I've seen the way he talks
you know oh you're right yeah we'll get to the truth
right there yeah I don't care
I just I like all that kind of
performance art shit it's just so pretentious
I used to watch a lot of them back and self-indulgent
why there was a time back
back in there, I was watching Twin Peaks and Artis taxi driver.
Why? I was getting no pus.
Why were you watching him?
Because I was like, I need to find out the truth.
Even as a child, you must have realised
this is retarded. No, I thought it was cool.
I was like, I want to be like that when I grow up.
Right, right. I still could be. You can't stop me.
Hey, you're closer to it than you think, you know?
Yeah, you're going to walk around dress as a big pot noodle.
Oh, man, I went to NCAD. I can't say too much to doing a work event,
but they're all freaks, man. I hate them.
And just the way they're so condescension.
ending and you just know for that they are all going to be the rapist or finagale politicians yeah i agree
yeah zero pushback on everything you just said i'm glad i'm worried you're going to turn there like
no james they're helping society i would say no james oh god you've got a bit of a david litch there
so you're catting now and i'm brian your belt is our guinea oh hello i'm brian oh oh i pretend you like
fuck balls and nobody calls me gay it doesn't work no it doesn't at all you're not fooling no one
before we go i'm just seeing there's any leftover topics we can talk about real quick how are you getting
on are you still hot yeah i'm very hot i'm sweating it's disgusting yeah it's not good is it
no i don't like it it's hard work yeah uh any plans i think next week you watch twin peaks
yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna tell i'm gonna start reading uh ted kizinski's manifesto
here i bought and kindle did you actually it's it's
six quid.
Wow.
Who's that money
going to?
I don't know.
Some computer probably.
Probably not to him.
He died by suicide.
Was it?
Why would you commit suicide this age?
You're so old.
You might as fucking...
I think because he was terminally ill
and maybe he was just like,
I don't like being in prison with cancer.
Because I think...
Oh, pussy.
Even being in a big comfy bed
with cancer is pretty uncomfortable.
So I reckon if you're, you know,
in a prison with a bunch of mentally ill rapists,
you know who are like
smearing beans on their cough
to protest climate change
you'd probably go fuck it I'm just going to kill myself
yeah
it's funny how like some people love him
he's really growing and he's big with Nazis
he didn't like Nazis
he's also kind of like
half trans he had like
yeah well it's funny because they're like
that's what all the trans people do
they all Kaczynskied themselves
he was gonna well there's a lot of things
like there's almost like that's almost like
a moral right there it's like
you don't let someone be comfortable
in their gender
to end up drawing a beard
well he
it was actually
he was gonna transition
but then he decided against
that he was like
I had an epiphany
where I realized
I didn't actually want to
It was the computers making me trans
Yeah yeah yeah
It was the industrial revolution
That's what did it
Yeah
It's funny as well
The only is a guy
Who's like responsible for him
You know like the MK Ultra program
Yes
It's all connected
It's like Harvard
Isn't it?
Yeah in Harvard
So I taught
Or MIT
No, yeah, it was Harvard I think
But yeah
So he was like
A brilliant mathematician
And then in college
He's like signed up
For like
Social psychological experiments
By the same people
Who were responsible for MK Ultra
Also as a child
He was separated
Like he was basically put in
Yeah what was that
Because that's on his Wikipedia page
Yeah he had like
It must have been like polio or some
It's like some really bad illness
Where they had to quarantine him
for like months but they say that like when he was born he was a normal healthy happy child
you know but then after that like six months to a year after that isolate isolation period
he came back and they just said he was never the same he completely changed and like basically
withdrawn i think he probably like started developing some sort of disassociative mental illness
it's funny that like he goes through this very traumatic thing yeah and but then he goes to school
and he's very good at mats
and he's actually one
the briefcase boys
do you hear about that
no who's that
the briefcase boys
was a cool group
in school him and some friends
there were the kids
they're really good at mats
so they all carry
briefcases full of papers
and calculators
and they probably got more pussy
than me I'll be honest
but so it's funny
so then he actually becomes smart
they say no idea
just hit them with the briefcase
and you do a math equation
like goodwill hunting
but actually you have to fuck me
look at that
so yeah
so then the thing is
like, so he's very good at maths, and it's almost
like he could have
gone a healthy lifestyle.
And he just signs over the thing where it's like, can
a Harvard professor abuse me for six months?
And it's like, yes. Yeah. And he was
all... That will help. He was all in on it.
But he became a professor himself.
But he was known for being
a really terrible professor, just
in that. He was obviously very smart, but
just had no desire to teach
or like, he didn't take
questions. He would just read from the
he just read from the textbook. I
loud is like yeah anyway
the test is next week
don't lock me in the eye
Michael Shannon vibe
yeah exactly yeah
and so then yeah he's like right
that's it I'm gonna he quits his job
and he goes to live in a cabin in the woods
that he built himself
and then he says oh there's somebody
over there with a digger
well I better send bombs
in the post
he heard one shane
so I was like well that's it
that's it I'm done
but like if you go on to like any
your reviews for his books
and you only kept publishing books
he published a book in like
2022. Oh really? Yeah, I'm going to
start reading them all now. How to be
a throat goat
and a size queen.
You're too much cock in your mouth
too much cock.
Cock on the brain
and cock on the tongue.
What was going to say now?
Well, he got a new book.
Yeah, he got a new book and all the
reviews are just so positive man.
Yeah, he's a little bit kooky, like
Phoebe and friends. But
everything he said was
all right. And look, you all
made fun of them. You all said
letter bombs were bad. Well, there's egg on your
face right now. I tell you now. Because now we
got, you know, TikTok. You can maybe argue
that some of his points about how
technology actually contributes
to people feeling more isolated
has merit, but then also
getting your fingers blown off by a bomb makes it feel
sad as well. Yeah, sure, yeah. But also
like you're completely discounting
all the really undeniably
positive, you know,
evolutions like sanitation and medicine and plumbing
I can watch the Andrew Shultz podcast anytime I want
anytime we need Andrew Shultz
if I'm driving I need a dose of Andrew Shultz
I can just pull over watch Shultz
Oh pull over
That's not flagrant too
That's pure flagrant one behavior
You're right
No I take it back
I was a test okay I speed up
I put it on
You put your foot down
And you just blast flagrant two
It's like what up you
it's your boy, Shultzzi, we're here
with Arcah, and uh, what's
going on, guys?
Um, hoars are dumb hoars.
Yeah, no way, dog.
I can't believe you said that, fam.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah, he was a cool guy.
He makes me embarrassed to be a wigger.
I'll tell you that.
Andrew Schultz, I mean, not Kaczynski.
Kaczynski was the coolest wigger
around, you know?
It would be pretty funny if Kaczynski
loves public enemy, you know?
we'll wrap up there
so you're going to watch Twin Peaks
any fun things coming up
I've got a lot of fun things coming up
that I probably can't talk about
okay
they're all kind of work related stuff
so yeah not only did you not want
to hear the answer to my question
you didn't want to hear me say
if I had fun things
you needed to say
have you got fun things
because I've got loads of fun things
but I can't even talk about them
because they're so fun
and you're too stupid to like it
I can't say much
but the CIA would kill me
if I told you
No, I've got no fun things, Brian.
He's just going to sit in the room and watch Twin Pinks.
That's the way better.
You can eat cherry pie.
Yeah.
Because that's what they eat.
Damn fan coffee and cherry pie.
Yeah, exactly.
I think you need to eat more cherry pie.
I think my doctor would disagree with you on that.
But I don't know.
Do you want to go downstairs and watch some more sweet life as Zach and Cody?
I thought you'd never ask.
Yeah, let's do that.
I am sweating.
It's so warm.
It's getting very uncomfortable.
disgusting well this is how I feel all the time
the way you feel right now
is how I feel in October
so I don't even want to tell you how I
feel in this heat right now because
dear God
it's awful it's been a fun time
I think oh fuck remember the hot box from
Django on chain that's what I'm feeling
like right now Matt I fuck I forgot
I watched Spiderverse right well
look we can't go over now
I'm going to watch the flash
okay we go watch the Flash
together oh okay you're right
You go watch something gay like Asterois City
Oh look
Oh look at all the headroom in that shot
Usually that would indicate
You know poor composition
But Wes Anderson is an autour
So I'm going to watch the Flash
Look that fucking weird kid has a gay mustache
That means this is art
This is art
Yeah I'll watch Asteroid City
Which apparently is good
Uh yeah
It's not the Flash though
No
I've heard the Flash is going to be
not good, it's not doing well in the box office
Really? And early tracking
show that Indiana Jones is going to be
a failure. Yeah. People do
not care about Indiana Jones. It's weird,
you know, because there's got too much stuff going on.
He's got Spiderverse to take it, and Transformers.
Also, I... People rather watch Optimus Prime
than old man Indian Jones.
Also, another aspect of it, and although I find it
very funny, but Harrison Ford's
complete contempt for any
person who's ever liked
a single film he was ever
in. It's like, I loved you in Star Wars.
You're a fat loser
who gets no pussy. Only fags watch that shit.
Oh, okay. Well,
my son with leukemia died
and you were as fair as I...
One less nerd in the world.
It sounds like we're
doing pretty good. Yeah.
Your pussy probably
looks like Chewbacca, you dumb
grunt.
