Last Looks, where you, the listener, get to voice your issues on Bait 3D, a movie that Discord user Vinod S. thinks could have been called Super Shark It Sleep. I tried to do it as best as I could.

Super Sharket Sleep, yep, that's right, great. Thanks, Manod, for that alt title. And remember, if you have an alt title or a tagline, submit it to us on our Discord, our very active Discord. I wanna give a big shout out to our Discord mods for running that place perfectly. I love getting on the Discord, I love getting on my Discord. We are nice people there. It's good social media. So thank you Discord mods. Thank you Discord

We're gonna talk about movies, TV, you know how we do it. And after that, Jason's gonna join me. We're gonna talk about movies, TV, you know how we do it. And after that, guess what? Yeah, you know the drill. I'm gonna reveal the movie for next week's episode. But before we get any further, I want to announce that a couple of weeks ago, we started talking about

a new theme song for the show. And the theme song that you heard that brought us in today by the Action Jackson 5 is going to be the theme song you're gonna be hearing for a little bit. That's right, Action Jackson 5 is the winner of our Last Looks theme song contest. Congratulations, Action Jackson 5. We'll be using your song to open Last Looks for the rest of the year. theme song contest. Congratulations, Action Jackson 5.

We'll be using your song to open last looks for the rest of the year. That's right. You and Biden get to sail out the rest of the year. Anyway, I wanna give a huge thanks to everyone who submitted themes to us. They were all amazing, but I especially wanna shout out Matthew Fountain,

the Balloon Ride Fantasy, John, and Rob from Long Island, who had some of our other favorite songs. Now we may open up submissions again for the main theme songs at some point. We're going to need something past January, but right now all you musicians can just send in themes for corrections and omissions, Just chat. You win nothing. And you can always send them to how did this get made at earwulf.com or post them on our Discord. But keep them short 15 to 20 seconds is best. Heads up, I will be in Santa Cruz. That's right. I'm doing a little pop in at bookshop in Santa Cruz this August. Go to my website, check it out. It's a free event. All

you have to do is RSVP and then you can come see me in Santa Cruz. Also, How Did This Get Made is going to be returning to New York City on Friday, November 15th at Town Hall. I think we're down to just like 100 tickets left, but you go to HDTGM.com for the ticket purchase link. And I wanna let you know, we have a live show coming up, but not just a live show, a virtual live show. You asked for it, we're gonna do it. A virtual live show, get ready for it.

And I wanna say one more time, if you've read my book, please keep on reviewing it. The good read reviews are amazing and the Amazon reviews really, really help. It's been blowing me away. So thank you so much. And if you've not gotten my book as an audio book or as an ebook or as a regular book, it's called Joyful Recollections of Trauma. Jane Fonda liked it. Amy Poehler liked it. People have liked it. And I've found that people are giving it to their friends. And if you want a personalized copy of it, you can just reach out to Chevalier's, go to my website and you can tell them what you want me to write in it or some version of that.

And I will write a personalized thing just for you for the price of the book. Anyway, oh, and an important plug, whoever you're voting for, just make sure that you are registered to vote. That's right. Get out and registered to vote. It's very simple. Just head on over to vote, save America to find out if you are registered. That's it. Just go and just find out that you're registered. Have the ability to participate because when we all participate, everybody wins.

And especially it's important in the state and local elections. I'm a big believer in that. The website again is vote save America. They will make sure or you can make sure that you are registered simply by going to that. That's it. That's it. Okay, very simple, very easy.

I love that. I love it. Anyway, let's go people. Let's get into bait 3D. There's a lot to unpack. It is now time for corrections and omissions. For all the things we talked about, there were things we did leave out.

So now it's time for corrections and omissions. Thank you Dornheim for that theme song. Let's go to the Discord. Funfacts47 writes, why did Doyle, aka NipTuck, casually, thank you for reminding me of who they were, casually walk into the grocery store face exposed only to put a ski mask on right before entering the manager's office? There has to be security cameras pointing at that entrance and throughout the store so there'd definitely be video evidence of him as the

robber. I mean if this is his last job it means he's done this before so it's unbelievable that he'd make such a rookie mistake. Now I get it. I get why he wouldn't and I get why. I get your point too. I don't know how to bridge the gap because if he went in wearing a mask, everyone's freaking out. If he goes in without a mask, he can sneak in. Maybe what he does is he doesn't wear the mask, sneaks in, robs him and then casually mixes in

and then exits, right? Maybe that's part of the plan. I don't know. I don't know. But Vetrio, AKA the Bait Pomeranian, ah, the poor Bait Pomeranian, actually has a better theory than me. Okay, Nip Tuck is not doing the heist as a last job.

He's doing it to get his brother out of debt with a psycho guy. When they stop at the car park, Nip Tuck says, when this is done, we're straight. My brother's clean and I don't ever wanna see your face around him again. Looks more like Nip Tuck says when this is done, we're straight my brother's clean and I don't ever want to see your face around him again Looks more like nip tucks brother was in a gang with psycho and in order to get him out Nip Tuck is doing the supermarket job on his behalf All right, vitro. I get that but the mask is still in question

Anyway, we can't figure it out right now blonde monster writes I can't stop thinking about when the water goes away and the cleanup crews start cleaning up bodies. I mean, there will be one man in a metal cage with beans and carrots duct taped to his legs. This cleanup crew has to be like, what the fuck? You know what? If you're gonna go in a tsunami shark attack, I think that's the only way to be found. Anyway, let's go to the phones. Dale from Arizona, what do you got? Listen to your episode, bait episode.

Her June say something, now she's usually spot on with her information, but she did say in this episode that in order to get charged with a shoplifting, you have to leave the store. I happen to be a prosecutor. There are generally also statutes that say that if you conceal an item with the intent to steal it you can also be charged with a shoplifting. So you don't necessarily have to leave the store. Love

you three. Love the show. Thanks. Bye. Huh. Intent to steal. I like it. I believe you. You're a professional. I think this is really good. And Dr. Gutz actually chimes in on the Discord about that, that according to criminaldefenselawyer.com, to commit the crime of shoplifting, all someone needs to do is move the property or exercise control over it in a way that is inconsistent with the shop owner's reasonable expectations about how shoppers will handle the merchandise. However, store security often won't apprehend a suspect until that person has left the store to make sure they have an open and shut case. So do you want an open and shut case or you want to go litigate it? Either way, let it be known shoplifting happens at intent.

Another Dale from Toronto. Hi Paul, calling about the live bait episode. First though, I want to mention your book. I loved it. It was so funny, so unique, very poignant, so well done. Okay, so I have a minor correction and maybe a slight omission. In the episode, you wondered why the water

never receded in the grocery store, but when our hero was coming in to work at the start, he entered at street level and walked down some stairs. So the store is definitely underground or at least one level down. They also show a few customers using those stairs to get in. And then at the end, when those final hopes for humanity were trying to get out, they have to blast and work their way upward to get out onto street level. The omission, I think, I was a little surprised I didn't hear any mention of how friggin' often

that injured cop dangled his bleeding leg and feet over the edge of the shelving, knowing a chum loving great white has been circling just below the whole time. Then again, maybe they didn't cover that in his police training. I don't know. So thanks for keeping us all laughing. I hope to see you, June and Jason at a live show one day and justice for Bowie. Thanks. Bye. Bye Dale thank you so much for the lovely things that you said about my book and you know what yes if you say nice things about my book you are gonna get on the show that's fine and fair okay so yes I agree with you that cop was stupid to

dangle that leg there blood does attract a shark we know that most people know that if you're not even in the shark world. In the shark world. We know it from movies. Anyway, I guess you're right. There was downstairs to get in the store. We didn't call it out. So I'm sorry. And finally, this next call is from anonymous, but because we already had two Dales, let's make it a third. Here's Dale. and at one point a nearby river flooded and washed about half a dozen bull sharks into the lake. And because bull sharks can live in freshwater, they actually lived there for a number of years before they were presumably washed out back into the river by a subsequent flood. If you Google shark golf course Australia, you'll find tons of videos and articles that talk about this.

And the second example coincidentally happened in Massachusetts, and it took place in Cape Cod where a great white shark, also presumably because of flooding, got trapped in a small saltwater pond near the beach. And that one too, if you just Google shark Cape Cod salt pond, you'll find articles and videos of it. So although the premise of a shark getting trapped in a grocery store is absolutely ridiculous, the idea that it can be displaced and trapped somewhere other than the ocean from a natural disaster actually is viable. Thanks so much.

I get it. I get it. Sure. You know what? If the point is that this could happen. Yeah, you got it. But I'm also going to say that the shark would have had to have gone through a door downstairs and through a door. I mean, I get that the power of it may have displaced it or doors may have broken.

I don't know. I get it. The big old gator bad boys Bad Boys 4. Oh man, I love Bad Boys 4. Anyway, back to the Discord. Sean McB writes, Paul in June said that they couldn't tell the two main characters apart, but the actor who played Ryan from the car park actually appeared in an episode of NTSF SDSUV in 16 Hop Street, which is our 21 Jump Street parody, which we became a spin-off of Filthy Sexy Teens or Filthy Preppy Teens is I think what we had to retitle it. Wow cannot believe that we did not

Recognize an alum from Nick Cannon High School there Look at him. We should have asked him. Well, I guess this is we gave him a start He was very good. Just couldn't tell the difference Looked too similar Corgi Herder writes some of the of the Bates sequel were mixed up. It's true the sequel, oh, this is about me. The sequel was shelved after the Malaysian flight crash, but Reni Harlan didn't shoot scenes with Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley yet. The original project in 2013 was being directed by Alastair Gryson before Reni Harlan took over later. The Reni Harlan project now called Deep Water is still actually alive with the

two aforementioned actors. They were just shooting in the Canary Islands last winter and here is a picture of it. Corgi Herder puts a picture of it up there. All right, so this is going to still come out. There's a fun detail left out too. The movie is being produced by Gene Simmons Production Company. Gene played the villain in two How Did This Get Made movies, Runaway and Never Too Young to Die. Corgi, you don't got to remind me of that. I love this. So many great corrections and omissions this week, but there can only be one. One winner, one person to walk away with the best call. And you know, a lot of people brought up issues, but they didn't nail down anything except for First Dale. He is. He's in the world of criminal defense. I don't care.

I like First Dale. I think First Dale gets it anyway. You get this amazing song from Homonym. Hit it. Thank you Homonym for that song. Remember, if you want to chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode hit up the discord at discord.gg slash HDTGM or call us at 619-P-A-U-L-A-S-K. Alright coming up after the break Jason stops by to chat about all the movies, TV and comics

that we are both currently loving and as always I will announce next week's movie we will be right back. Alright people here's the deal. Every Monday, we like to call it Matinee Monday. And this week we have a really great episode. The 2015 action flick, Dragon Blade, it starred Jackie Chan, Adrienne Brody, and John Cusack. We had special guests, Daniel Radcliffe,

and Aaron Darkie on the show. I loved this episode. I loved having them on the episode. They are fans of the show, so they came prepared. And I want you to make sure that you're listening every Monday to find some of those back episodes that have been elusive for far too long. Anyway, I'm getting tired of talking to myself.

So let's get Jason over here for a little Just Chat. Seth Chatfield, play us in. Is it this? Could it be that? A little swing of the cane? A little tip of the hat? No, it's Jason and Paul just getting into it all in the segment that we call Just Check.

Yeah. Jason, how are you? You know, Paul, I'm okay. I, uh, here we are. We are here. We've been traveling. We've been traveling, we've been around. I gotta tell you, we took Dinosaur out to Portland

and Seattle and now we've been in Boston, we've been in Nantucket. It's been a blast to be on the road a little bit this summer. It's been fun to see all you fucking gross monsters. And I gotta- All sweated up. And I gotta tell you, we are gonna come back up to the Pacific Northwest. That was the one thing,

when we came up there with Dinosaur, people were mad that we haven't been to Vancouver. People were mad that we haven't been- Really mad? Oh, mad. Because wait, is it 2019? Is that when we were there last? Faithful Findings.

I remember more by how long ago we did movies. So Faithful Findings, I remember, that was at the Moore Theater in Seattle. So that was- Oh, that's when the bodies hit the floor, right? That's Hubel? Hubel was there? Yes, no, bodies to the floor is the Jason Ten.

Oh, that was a different Seattle. That's at Largo. That was also Seattle though, right? No, that was at Largo. Oh, that was at Largo, but it was Hubel. It was Hubel. Hubel was in Seattle, am I wrong? Yes, he popped in and that was in-

Okay. So we released that- I just had the movie wrong. Okay, got it. No, it was 2019. You're right, 2019 we recorded that. Faithful Findings in Seattle. So we haven't been there for a long time.

So we gotta get back up there for sure. I loved the Moore Theater. I thought that was great. Oh, it was so fun. I remember that theater was exploding. And I loved the Neptune Theater that we did Dinosaur at. They were great. I thought both the Neptune and the,

what was the Revolution Hall in Portland, gorgeous room. And you know, they were, I just love those crowds. I love everything. We had a great time up there, so. I didn't care for the crowds. You know what? If you're gonna show up to a comedy show, show up to laugh crowds.

I'm just kidding, the crowds were fucking dynamite. I will say that the thing that has really thrown me into a tizzy is in Portland, everyone there is so lovely. And you might even say they're too conscientious on some level. When that one woman that we interviewed in the crowd was talking about her find at the thrift sale. At the estate sale?

The estate sale. And she said, you know, I got a lazy Susan. And oh, I know we're not supposed to say that anymore. Yeah. That to me has been- We're not supposed to say lazy Susan anymore. Everybody I've brought that up to is like, what, what are you talking about?

I don't understand. I understand. That's insane. I am for every kind of, let's, you know, embrace and change, but lazy Susan feels like... Here's the thing, here's the thing, and I'm willing to say this, Susans are lazy.

Amen. You know what? I've never met a Susan that wasn't so lazy. And by the way, Lazy Sam, Lazy Susan, whatever you wanna do. I'm just saying, I love the idea. I also just love the idea of a Lazy Susan in general. It's a great device.

Oh my God. Spin that around the table. As a kid, I loved that idea that you could just get whatever you needed. When the first time I got a Scrabble board that was on a Lazy Susan, remember how incredible that was? Oh boy. That's the stuff. That's gaming.

Yes, but those cities were incredible. Those crowds were fantastic. I had, after you guys all left, I stayed an extra day and had an incredible meal in Portland at Con, K-A-N-N. Wow, incredible meal. Thank you, Con. Ooh, I love that.

I had to run to San Francisco and I had a great time in San Francisco and I will tell you this, you can hear my full thoughts on this and I know it's a couple of weeks old now, but I was on the film cast and I got to talk about Bad Boys 4, which I texted you the minute I got out of the theater

because I believe that we have to cover Bad Boys 4 on How Did This Get Made? I really was thinking about it because it might fall into the category of thank God it got made. I don't want to blow it out right now because you haven't seen it, I know, but it is, it feels to me like when that comes on VOD, it might be perfect because it's got, it's like Fast and Furious meets the, the R-rated-ness of Beekeeper. And you have these like two things that I think are really fun.

And as an action movie fan, I'm very much on board. Yeah, no, and I mean, listen, I enjoyed the last installment, three, right? This was four. Which is sadly, three is called Bad Boys 4 Life. If only they waited. Oh, that's so funny. Will Smith movie in a post slap world, which feels nuts. It's kind of funny, cause I think in a weird way,

watching the movie, he's like, why were we mad at him again? I was like, I guess I understand. But it's like, when you look at the grand scheme of things, you're like, all right, it was the slap. It wasn't the best thing. I get it, I understand. But at the same time, I was like,

and the movie does a really good job of oddly addressing it. Oh really? Oh wow, okay. Oh, really? Oh, wow. Okay. And again, I'm not minimizing what he did, but I think that there is an energy around the whole, even people writing reviews are like, yeah, I mean, it was just a slap. I mean... Oh, God. I gotta engage with this.

I can't wait to see this. But don't go too deep, because I think when you see the way that they deal with it, yeah, I mean, there's a lot. There's a lot there that I would love to unpack. I'm excited to get into it. Yeah, I would love to unpack it with you. Okay, so there's a bunch to talk about.

I know that you have not gotten a chance to kind of share what you've been up to, but tell me what you have been looking forward to what you've been watching, all that sort of stuff. Such a good question here. Let me look at my list. We are in a pretty fun time right now of some shows returning, some new stuff

that I've been watching that's just, I think, dynamite. So- Have you watched The Acolyte? The Acolyte? Yes. Let's shout out Leslie Hedlund, fan of the show, past guest, future guest, I will say. She'll be back, don't worry, we're gonna get her back on. Written, directed, Leslie Headland crushing it on the Acolyte, absolutely fantastic.

What I love about Leslie is, and I read a lot of stuff online, because you know, look, the online is a very safe space for creative people in the star wars world. It's such a cool space, especially Star Wars fandom. It seems like that seems, you know what? The internet is a pretty rough place. Star Wars fandom is safe though.

Very safe. And, uh, people would say I'd read people online going, she doesn't know about Star Wars. I'm like, literally this is the person who knows so much. A person who wrote me an email when I said, Star Wars came out in, I think I believe I said, oh yeah, Star Wars came out in 76. And she was like, 77.

I was like, wow, all right. I was like, got it, note taken. I love it, but she's right. She's honest. She know what I mean? She's honest. She is somebody who has like a depth of knowledge about Star Wars that is incredible. And she is, you know, she is doing something.

I love the High Republic era. I don't know if you've read any of those books or the comics or anything. So I'm so into this period. I love that we exist in a time without any dumb skywalkers, without any of the stories that I'm just a little bit tired of exploring, frankly. I'm so happy to be hundreds of years in the past

from those stories. And I think you also have these great people, I mean, that you love. I mean, whether it's Carrie Anne Moss, who I think is just amazing. Charlie Barnett, who you know from Russian doll, so good. Uh, Manny from, uh, the good place. I mean, it's

Manny Jacinto is having a blast in this show. It looks so fun. I remember one night I was texting with, uh, uh, Leslie's like number two writer out there and he was like, let me just tell you, we are in the middle of a forest shooting a lightsaber scene. And I'm like, oh my god. I'm like, this is the best. Well, that's the other thing that I like about it is, there's a lot of stuff that's clearly real.

You know, there's been a lot of the Mandalorian, a lot of stuff that's been coming out lately, the Obi-Wan show feel very much like they're shot in the volume completely almost. Yes. And while there's certainly elements of the Acoly much like they're shot in the volume completely almost. Yes. And while there's certainly elements of the Acolyte that are also shot on a volume, there's a ton of practical,

we're out in the middle of a forest type of stuff. And that, I think, lends it like a real weight. And it feels, it just feels new. It just feels like new Star Wars stuff. Even though there's stuff that we're familiar with, it just, like, some of the planets feel new. The fact that there's so many Jedi in the High Republic era is also new and cool, and that the Jedi are kind of shitty.

I love... I love, like, the... I love how Leslie is framing the Jedi as, you know, they are in a time of peace, so they are just kind of like assholes. They're kind of like... Yeah, they're like of like, like entitled pricks, which is fun. I mean, it's such an interesting way that we're attacking Star Wars right now. I know we talk about it a bunch on this show, but these outlier shows have been really fun.

The one I realized I did not watch was Ahsoka. I did not watch Ahsoka. Oh yeah. Oh, you didn't at all? Oh yeah. I don't know why it just like missed me. I don't, you know, sometimes you're in these like little zones and I'm like, I remember seeing the billboards for it. And then I just, so I am going to go back

and watch that as well. Yeah. And that's the thing is like, and what I want to recommend, one of the reasons I want to recommend the acolyte to people specifically is, and I really enjoyed Ahsoka, but Ahsoka really is an installment in a story that Dave Filoni has been telling for 15 years now. You know what I mean?

Dave Filoni created Ahsoka Tano, Anakin's Padawan, she's like a 14 year old Padawan when she's introduced in the Clone Wars animated show, and now in live action, we see her much, much later in life. So that series exists in a space that really benefits you, having watched Clone Wars, Rebels, Mandalorian, all this stuff. Versus the Acolyte, you can just turn on the Acolyte.

You can have watched no Star Wars in the last 10 years, and you can enjoy the acolyte, you can have complete access to this story because it's not beholden to any stories that have come before. It's great. Not going to still get June to watch it, but, uh, at least I can try with that. I mean, I can, uh, I can give a soft pitch, but yeah, so you're talking about things are coming back, new things are happening right now. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm gonna throw out,

I'll throw out a couple of things just because I think there's a lot of great stuff. Returning shows, We Are Lady Parts, season two of We Are Lady Parts is up on Peacock. Boy, it is just absolutely fantastic. And I feel like it's getting a lot of press this season. Thank God, I'm so excited. It's really fantastic. I love this show. And I feel like it's getting a lot of press this season. Thank God, I'm so excited. It's really fantastic, everybody's killing it,

and the songs are great. It's really hard to do a show about a band and have the music make sense, you know, in that way that it was always hard for like studio 60 or 30 Rock to try and perform sketches and have them make sense. It's hard for, you know, music in shows, but these songs are great. I love We Are Lady Parts.

Nita Manzoor, incredible, incredible writer, director, creator, just fantastic. If you're interested and like the show, I've recommended it before, but please watch her movie, Polite Society. It's dynamite. I'm excited about that. We've talked, I've mentioned before, this show, Mum, Polite Society. It's dynamite. I'm excited about that. We've talked, I've mentioned before,

this show, Mum, is so beautiful. I think you guys would love it. It's on BritBox though, which is my only question. If you get it, great. It's Leslie Manville from Phantom Thread and from a million other movies. And it's just a beautiful, like, quiet British sitcom that's really beautiful.

I feel like we don't make sitcoms anymore and that to me really bums me out. Like it's like, there is like this, we are so content, we're so excited to make these bigger things that like we just- Or to make things that are so, that have more drama or more, the stakes are so big versus, boy, isn't like something like Dead Pixels

or Extraordinary, aren't these just hilarious? These are funny shows. Girls 5 Ever is hysterical. Full stop. I, uh, as a matter of fact, when I was in New York, Buzzy Phillips did my book event there. She was awesome, we got to talk a little bit about that. It's such a funny show. So funny. Busy Phillips did my book event there. She was awesome. We got to talk a little bit about that.

It's such a funny show. So funny. Now I was wondering if, cause Danielle Schneider, she turned me on to a show called Fisk. Have you heard about that? Don't know it, never even heard of it. Okay. What is it?

So basically this, it's basically a lawyer who's very high end, who is forced to take a job at like a local like shitty law firm like that you would pass on the street after like a marriage breakdown. And like it's it has elements that reminds me of what's that show that you were on, the Mike White show. Oh, enlightened, enlightened. It has it's like enlightened, but lighter. It's super, super funny. Yeah. enlightened, enlightened. Yep. It has, it's like enlightened, but lighter.

Uh, it's super, super funny. Yeah. Okay. Great. And it's a kiddie flan again. It's on Netflix. Uh, and they had like two seasons of it. It's really, uh, really, really funny.

Ooh, I love that. Okay. Great. That sounds good. Anything else that have you watched any of the Ren Faire show? Uh, no, because June said that she hates Ren Faire stuff, so I have to watch that privately. Oh, dude, get involved.

I can't wait. You're gonna like it. I bet June would like it only because it's wall to wall characters. Well, that's what I thought. It's like Tiger King in that, it's like Tiger King or it's like any, it's just, you're there for characters, not Ren Faire.

Ren Faire is the backdrop for a Palettes Intrigue show. It's fucking nuts. It's like secession, right? So I'll tell you this much. What, when I pitched Ren Faire to June, she said, no, we're gonna watch Hitler and the Nazis Evil on Trial, which is a new Netflix new Netflix by a docu series by Joe Berlinger who did like, yeah, you know, um, and it, and I was

like, the last thing I want to do is watch Hitler and the Nazis. And I have to tell you, it's very good. It's very good because they do real life reenactments mixed with doc footage, uh, not real life, but they have actors and it's really cool. What's it on? It's on Netflix. Okay, got it. So, you know, Joe Berlinger did Paradise Lost,

Metallica, some kind of monster. And yeah, he's also done these like other true crime shows like Jeffrey Epstein, Filthy Rich, and Conversations with a Killer. So yeah. I love that, that sounds great. It's really, it's way better than you thought it would be.

Or I thought it would be. Okay, I'll watch that. I like that we're in a documentary corner, so I'll throw a couple of other docs in the mix. Ren Faire, I think, is a blast. It's just fun. It's silly fun. It's characters, characters welcome, USA.

The Stacks documentary, Stacks Records documentary, it's four episodes on Max, is just incredible. Um, Otis Redding, Rufus and Carla Thomas, you know, Booker T and the MGs, it is like a just non-stop litany of incredible songs, incredible footage that they've got, incredible live performances, it is terrific. I was very into that documentary. As into that documentary as I was,

I did not love the Beach Boys documentary on Disney. So I can't quite recommend it. And I- I can tell you a good documentary that just came out. The disappearance of Sherry Papini. Again, June is bringing me into these things, but I don't know if you know about this. This is-

Not even remotely. Okay, this woman has this amazing life. Everything's good, right? And then she vanishes. And why she vanishes? It's a real twist. It's a real twist of a doc. Well, you know what?

Let me just be honest. It's a hoax. Wow. Okay. So it's a kidnapping hoax. It's very good. It's very, very good. And again, sometimes I'm not into these true crime things.

Sometimes I'm being forced to watch them. And I watch a lot and these are the ones that pop up that I'm like, oh, this is better than normal. That's great. Okay, that sounds good. I'll also throw into the mix, what's the name of the thing that I just thought of? You said that, and then, well, I'll throw the new,

I mean, Frederick Wiseman, incredible, like, prolific, not prolific, but incredible, like, grand master of documentary filmmaking made, like, hospital and salesman, no, no, salesman is the mazes, but it doesn't matter, you know, Frederick Wiseman, he has a new documentary that's like a four hour documentary about a restaurant in France. It's called Menu Plaisir Le Trois Gros.

And it's about like a family restaurant that, and it's just a true fly on the wall, beautifully shot documentary that's like hours long about this restaurant. And the family that is, that has, you know, that's owned this restaurant, runs this restaurant, the sons and the father, it's great. It's really good. Uh, I can't recommend that enough as well.

The Ennio Morricone documentary that's just called Ennio is gorgeous and has great, uh, great stuff in it. Well, you know, you're talking about docs and I was thinking about this book I've been reading. It's a book about Elaine May. So it's not a doc. It's on my list. It's so good.

I am so into it. I really love it. I got the audio book. Yes, I've been reading different chapters. I just kind of have been jumping around and not reading it linearly in a way, this, cause I was like, oh, I want to know about this. I want to know about this.

Yeah. I love it. It's really, it's not as good as the Mike Nichols book, which I think is so- The Mark Harris one? Yes. I mean, that is unbelievable. This is like, I think what I've liked about this is

when I've gone down rabbit holes of Elaine May, there's a lot of different things. I'm like, okay, what is this? Okay. And this author, her name is Carrie Corrigan. Okay. She does a great job of like kind of distilling and getting the, as much of the truth as it can possibly get. Cause especially when it comes to something like Mikey and Nikki, holy shit, it's bonkers. What's going on there? Well, those are such, it's yeah, you know, Nichols and May couldn't have been a bigger influence

on me, me and St. Clair especially, you know, early on those albums. Oh, you guys so captured that vibe in so many ways. Yeah, they were huge to us, you know, and to me, you know, that they then became these prolific writers and directors in that era. But yeah, I've only just started the book, so I can't even really speak to it, but I love it.

It's really fun, and you know, for me, what I was doing was I hosted this thing of video, so I wanted to make sure that I had- Oh, cool. About the book or about the- Mikey and Nikki. So I just wanted to, like, I had- About the book or about the- Mikey and Nikki. So I just wanted to talk about it a little bit. So it's-

I still have not been to Vidiot. Oh, it's great. Truly like a wonderful space, some fun food, great drinks, great atmosphere. It's really, really great. And what I've done there, I don't know if I've ever announced this officially. I have made copies of things that have not been available to stream.

So for example, you can rent or whatever they call it there, because it's not renting, it's a library. It's like season one and two of Human Giant. Season two is unavailable to Human Giant. I see. Oh, cool. And so I've reached out to a lot of other friends who have created shows. I'm like,

what has been pulled off streaming? Give me DVDs and we put them on a shelf. So we have a section there full of weird things that you can't find anywhere else that are just not on streaming. So like, you know, so that's- Let's get close enough up there. Let's get JG Quintel's show close enough

that I was on that got pulled. If you just talk to him and then, yeah, and then that's great, because it's like, then we'll put it on the shelf. And that, to me, is what we need to be. I'm... Oh, yeah. What I really want is,

I want like a digital streaming library of everything that people can't monetize, because it should be available. It should just be available for all of us. Yeah, like as a resource. You should be able to pull up and watch all these things. If you're like buying bankruptcy on it, don't make money on it, but just let me see it.

Yes, I agree. I think that's very smart. That's great. I love that. Ooh, that's cool. That's very, I wanna watch the Human Giant. I was so excited to have it out there. I was like, this is great, just have something.

I love that. I also watch movie pass, movie crash, or movie crash, movie pass. I started that, I got like half an hour in. I was enjoying it. I then had to leave the house. Very bare bones, kind of interesting doc. Yes, it's interesting.

And I guess what I'm realizing in all these documentaries, like what happened? Oh, rich white guys took over and decided to like hire 50 cent. Yeah, like it's like the stupid, of course it failed. Like it failed in such an insane way because it's like the money was spent like stupidly and with no reason.

I mean, yeah, it's comical. It's like you always. No, no, I enjoy it. And it's another thing that is just characters. Yes. You know, like all those guys that come in and turn it into this disaster, they're all such characters.

They're all such blowhards. I mean, and did you also, what did you, did you watch Jinx 2? I didn't, no. I'm kind of mixed on it, but I also am like, man, that one is really fascinating to me because Jinx is like, he's like,

okay, I think I know what this is gonna be and you never quite can get ahead of him. It's like, and there is still, I feel like the problem with that documentary, in my opinion is they didn't quite give you that, like, and we don't know either. Like it's sort of like, I feel like it leaves it open a little bit.

Like there are just things that you just don't know. You can make a pretty solid assumption on, but like I didn't find it to be as fulfilling as the first one. It was more time with this character who's a crazy sociopath. I mean, you know, in many ways. How funny.

Yeah. Oh wow. Okay. I got to, at some point I'll catch up with that. I mean, one of the funniest things that I mean, you know, in many ways. Uh, how funny. Yeah. Uh, okay. Yeah, I got to, I'll, at some point I'll catch up with that. I mean, one of the funniest things that I love is they, they do do a, they show a moment on the trial and they're like, uh, you know, did you kill so and so he's like, no, and he's like, if you did kill so and so, would you lie about it? Yes. Amazing.

Amazing. Amazing. It's like the OJ, if I did it, book. Yeah, it's so funny. It's like, I mean, but he's also like, but there's something about that honesty that is also fascinating too. It's like, of course, of course you would lie. Like, you know.

Oh my gosh. I love it. That's great. I was going to say, the other, one of the other things that I, what is it gonna say? Did I, I can't remember if I shouted out the Dave Attell special Hot Cross Buns. Oh yeah, we talked about that. Maybe we talked about it privately even.

It's great. Okay, got it. Good, good, good. I really enjoyed that. I'm gonna, and then you know what? I'm gonna shout out just a couple of, if you don't mind, comics. I'm loving Ed Brubaker, our friend Ed Brubaker,

who was up at the Portland show, up in Portland filming his show, an adaptation of his book, Criminal. Great cast. One of my all time favorite ongoing series of books to tune into. His reckless books are still coming out and are fantastic. He had a great book called Follow Me Down recently

that I liked. Batman Detective Comics right now, Gotham Nocturne. Fantastic. Rom V. writing, absolutely great. I'm really enjoying that. What else was I gonna say? There was something else. Night Fever, that's last year's Brubaker book that I

really liked. He has a book that we were just talking about the other day. I can't remember the name of it. It's coming to the end. Oh, The Body One. The Body, what's it called? I love that book. Yeah. Well, you look that up. I'm gonna shout out a couple of other books. Tom King's Penguin Book is great right now. Oh, I love that. That's great, yes. Where the Body was is the Ed Brubaker book. Oh, I was thinking about Friday Book One. Like they're doing the three books for that. Really great.

All the Friday books are fantastic. All the Friday books I love. And I will also, while we're shouting out Friday books, because Friday has a real Nancy Drew vibe to it, some books that I love, The Hobtown Mysteries, that are also kind of Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, have also just come out in color versions. They were previously not color, and so they've put them out in color versions

and they look gorgeous. I can't recommend that enough. Anyway, and it was great to see up in Portland, Brian Michael Bendis came out to the show, Ed Brubaker came out to the show, Matt Fraction came out to the show. Ed Brubaker came out to the show. Matt Fraction came out to the show. True, like, comics legends at our Dumb Improv Show. I mean, they were so fun to see them all.

And I was doing a signing post show, so I couldn't be backstage hanging out with you guys, hanging out with all of them. And when they exited, they walked by the line to say hi to me. And literally, it was like watching the Beatles of comics walk by. People were losing their mind. Because it was so, they were just like, oh!

And I was also, you know, I love, I talk to Ed a lot, but I see Brian Michael Bendis, who I'm such a fan of. And it's such a... Oh my God. and Fraction too. And like, you know, Fraction's been doing that Monarch show. Yes. The Godzilla Monarch show.

Which I really, I think is really fun. Kurt Russell and- Wyatt Russell, right? Yes, yes. Yeah. So it was really, that was neat. Great to see them and all of them, like, fantastic. You know, the stuff they're doing is just so good.

I love it. Yeah. Well, this is great. All right, we will talk again soon. All right, goodbye. All right, people, I hope you enjoyed my chat with Jason, but it's now finally time to announce our next movie. Next week, we'll be going from sharks that scowl

to, get ready for it, farts. That's right, farts that are foul. Next week, we are watching the 2002 classic, Thunder Pants starring Rupert Grint, Paul Giamatti and Stephen Fry. And to say Paul Giamatti stars is, you know, it's true, I guess. Okay, here is the breakdown of Thunder Pants,

which we watched and we did, this is a crazy movie. An 11 year old boy's amazing ability to break wind leads him to fame and then death row before it helps fulfill his ambition of becoming an astronaut. Yes, all this is true. Rotten Tomatoes gives this film a 67% on tomato meters.

Yep, no problem there. There are only six reviews, that's why it might be so high. Letterbox user Alec S writes, Thunderpants is the best portrayal of Great Britain I've seen in quite a while. And the user Krimbq writes, he might be passing gas, but he's certainly not passing the Bechdel test. All right, let's take a listen to the trailer.

Get ready for a film that will blow you away. In an incredible story. Panda Pants. Seven. Of a boy. Six. With a unique gift. Five.

You're going to be a spaceman. Four. And one. Three. Big. Two. Three. One. Genius. And one, three, big, two, three, one. Genius. Thunderpants is available to rent on Apple TV plus and Amazon Prime Video, but it's also
