Yeah! How did this get made? Yeah! How did this get made? Yeah! How did this get made? Yeah! How did this get made? How did this get made? How did this get made? How did this get made?

Once again, a new persona made A crazy movie that ain't gonna break down again Should I go like Black and the Monsters? The weights are huge, but Alexis Benz Does Marcus Flick make no goddamn sense today? I said I'm gonna go and ask this question How did this get made? I got first, second, and third. Are you telling me this is a Jacob's letters video? How did this get made? How did this get made? How did this get made?

How did this get made? Bonjour, Madame and Monsieur Webb. I am your blood uncle, Paul Scheer, and I hope you all enjoyed your blood aunt, Jason Manzoukis, filling in in the last episode. But unfortunately, Cassandra Webb hit Jason with her ambulance, so you are stuck with me once again. Welcome to How Did This Get Made? Last Looks, yes, where you, the listener, get to voice your issues on Madame Webb, a

movie that Discord user Scully thinks should have had the tagline, all of the paramedics in this movie still couldn't save it. Way to go, Scully. Alright, later in the show, I'm going to tell you all the things I'm currently loving and want to recommend. And I will also share with you an exclusive deleted scene from our Madame Webb live show. And as always, I will reveal next week's movie. But first things first, a big shout out to Teddy Love Supreme for that opening theme song, Teddy.

That was awesome. I love it. We love these songs. If you have a last looks theme song, send it to how awesome, I love it. We love these songs. If you have a last looks theme song, send it to howdidthisgetmade at earwolf.com, but keep them short. 15 to 20 seconds is best. People, How Did This Get Made is going on the road.

That's right, in June on Father's Day, How Did This Get Made is live in Boston for the film Communion with Christopher Walken. If you've read my book Joyful Recollections of Trauma you know that I have a very strong connection to this movie. We cannot wait to be there in Boston at the Wilbur Theatre. Some tickets are left. I will be doing a book signing after the show so that will be a lot of fun and then just a few days later on the 20th we will be

at the Nantucket Film Festival. That's right. We're doing a movie called Bait. We're going to be in a very fun venue. They call it a casino, but it looks like a wedding venue. Get tickets wherever you get your tickets for the Nantucket Film Festival. You can just go to HDTGM.com. I'm also going to be doing a book signing out there in Nantucket as well.

I can't wait to see you all for a little East Coast, how did this get made? And in July, guess what? We're coming back to Texas. You heard me. Can't announce it yet, but that's my little sneak preview of it. Also, if you're in LA, you can come see me. That's right. And Jesse Thorne, you know know the great Jesse Thorne.

We are gonna be doing a show on the 13th in Pasadena. You can just go to hdtgm.com or paulshear.com to find out what that's all about. It's a bullseye live. Ticket prices vary from seat to a seat with a book or even pay what you want. So come check out Jesse and I at Crawford Theater in Pasadena on June 13th.

Okay, so let's get into it. Last week we talked at length about Madame Webb. Well, we had questions and we might have even missed a few things. Here is your chance to set us straight. Fact check us if you will. It is now time for Corrections and Omissions. ["Corrections and Omissions"]

Correction van-a-bish-ah. You were wrong! Thank you, Mad Licks. Love that theme. Way to go. All right, let's go to the Discord. John Notconner writes, "'Another weak name drop in Madame Webb was in the taxi

when Maddie Franklin says she's about to call my uncle Jonah for help. Who bothers giving their uncle's name in casual conversations when seconds matter? This, of course, was a veiled reference to J. Jonah Jameson, who is in the comics a family friend of Maddie Franklin, not a blood uncle. Sorry, Paul. But, of course, because because this is Sony she can't come out and say I know the editor of the Daily Bugle. He can help us. That's right It's just all under the surface and why because if they can't say it they can't make a movie about it So why even tease it anyway? Cameron H continues with the Jade Jonah Jameson talk something

I thought would have been really cool and probably couldn't have been done due to a rights issue is if jay jona jameson had been One of the people terrorized by ezekiel it would explain why later on in life when he sees another Costume person dressed as that same exact spider kind of creature his immediate reaction is that man is a menace Cameron H get yourself a plane ticket to Hollywood. That's a brilliant, a brilliant fix. I mean, even for Marvel comics, that's a great, I love that twist. BX Quinn writes, as a paramedic,

everything medical bothered me. But they couldn't even get the uniform right. They are paramedics wearing EMT patches on the shoulder instead of paramedic patches. And ambulance drivers are just ambulance drivers. They have no medical training. The movie calling a paramedic or an EMT an ambulance driver is like calling a nurse a doctor's helper.

Bam. I like that. I like that. I like that you really come down. Did you chime in on our episode of ambulance? Because I'd like to hear what BX Quinn has to say. And I actually believe as I'm saying your name, you might have. All right. Dr. Guts, let's talk about the game at the baby shower where guests try to guess the baby's name.

I can't believe this would be a game anyone would play. I mean, where is the fun in just shouting out a random name and having the expectant mother just repeatedly saying, nope, nope, it just felt like a lame meta reference on the writer's part since the audience is ahead of the characters in knowing what the baby's name will be. You know, I didn't think about it like that.

I didn't even really read that it was gonna be Peter. I thought it was just a baby. I mean, this is where my brain kind of shuts off to small details. I just thought they were playing a game of like, give the mom good advice. Oh boy, oh boy, I missed it all. But there we go, Peter Parker, we get it. Joe Tangelo writes, I like how she stole the cab in an emergency,

then proceeded to drive it around for a good stretch of the movie, like it Was her personal car. I mean the perfect car for staying inconspicuous while the police and an evil spider-man are after you is definitely Unmarked cab well Joe. Yeah, you really nailed it. I guess they thought oh, yeah cabs They just blend in but she was like out in the middle of a forest they thought, oh yeah, cabs, they just blend in. But she was like out in the middle of a forest. Stinkpot Turtle writes,

Madame Webb was born with the disease and I'm gonna mispronounce it because I'm not gonna go back and listen to it to get it right. Methicinia gravis. And Paul did mention that you can't detect this disease in the womb. But one other piece of info about MG

is that it breaks down the communication between the brain and the body's voluntary muscles. Or did I say body? I meant body and face. One of the most common symptoms is expressionless, mask-like face. Another is speaking monotone. Quoted directly from the MG foundation of America's website voice problems seen in MG include vocal fatigue difficulty controlling pitch or a monotone voice

So maybe the spider didn't cure Cassie after all oh my god stink pot turtle I Don't want to laugh at that that obviously anyone who has this, but way to go. Cameron H. again chimes in. The moment which truly solidified for me that perhaps no one involved with this movie cared was when Cassie takes her Cessna jaunt down to Peru for the afternoon

and she tells the Peruvian Spider-Man how her mother wrote that las Aranjas were a myth. He asks her, and what did you think? And her answer is, I think she was crazy to come down here by herself. First of all, fucking rude, Madame Webb. Second of all, she wasn't alone. The man she hired for her security killed her.

And lastly, you currently are alone in Peru yourself. Cameron H, way to serve it up to Cassie. All right, we currently are alone in Peru yourself. Cameron H. Way to serve it up to Cassie. Alright, we're gonna take a quick break and when we're back we will hit the phone lines for more corrections and omissions and of course we will announce our next movie. Stick around. How did this get me? How did this get me? Welcome back to Last Looks. We have some very important corrections and omissions to go through from

Madame Webb. Let's go to the phones. First up, Kelly. Hi, Paul or Jason. I don't want anyone to be mad at me if he is posting another episode. I have an omission for Madame Webb. Something that was not mentioned, which was very confusing to me, was how there was a headline on the newspaper was a headline on the newspaper the very same day that the girls were supposedly kidnapped. I'm pretty sure it was the same day. And then this brings an alternate question, which is if it is the following day, that means Madame Webb left the girls in the forest overnight and they slept where? On what? Just, you know, something I've been thinking about a lot.

Thanks. Yeah. Well, you know what? These newspapers have to keep up with the internet. I hear that current newspapers print five to 10 copies a day just to get the latest headlines. I mean, the newspaper work in this movie was bad, but let's go back to J. Jonah Jameson.

Maybe he is, that's how he becomes That's how he becomes like a great newspaper man He releases not only an evening and a morning edition Which by the way if we want to give the movie some benefit of the doubt that was a thing an evening edition and a morning edition I think am I making that up? I might be, Kelly, you're fucking right. I don't care. But J. Jonah Jameson, he released three editions a day. Yes, he lost a ton of money, but he had the latest news always. All right.

Anonymous. Ooh, I love an anonymous call. What do we got? Hey, Paul or Jason. I guess this is for the Madam Web episode. Sorry. It's for the Madam Web episode. The reason why Ezekiel is trying to kill the or Jason. I guess this is for the Madame Web episode. Sorry, it's for the Madame Web episode.

The reason why Ezekiel is trying to kill the girls is not because, well, in the movie they've conflated it. What happens is that they combine two characters. Ezekiel is also combined with a character called Morlin. Morlin was in the comics was going around killing the spider people to absorb their powers. That's why he was trying to go after Maddie, Julia and Aranya. He was to kill them and steal their powers. I don't know why they never put that in the movie because it would have made the movie so much more interesting as opposed to I'm gonna kill them because I had a drink. But anyway, great show. Thank you so much.

I love the show. Have a great day. Yes, yes, yes. That's what this movie needed. I mean, really, this movie needed something. You can clearly tell that they just re-edited it and rewrote it in every step of the process. And they just made it so fucking dumb and

simple and the simplicity of it is so lame it's like he just is afraid to die and why would he be dying because we don't even understand what he's doing that's bad oh gosh it makes me angry all over again Catherine from Paris what do you got? Hi Paul, this is Catherine from Paris. I just listened to the Madame Webb episode and I don't understand why it's called Madame Webb. Like I thought you would have some explanation but she's not French. She likes pigeons but she's not French. So that was well took. And so yeah, I can only recommend doing a colonoscopy because I'm not that old. And there was something, they found something and it was not spider webs or any super power. But I'd say to anyone, even if you're not 50, you could have something going on in your

bum that is not spider magic, so get screened. That's all, and thank you for making such a fun show. Bye. All right, I believe that. Talk to your doctor about that. I asked my doctor about a colonoscopy. He told me I didn't show any signs that needed one under 50, but we should be checking it out.

Talk to your doctor, get yourself a colonoscopy Okay, and let's get to your big point, which is why is she Madame Webb if she's not French? I mean, maybe a more appropriate name would be like la reina right la reina You know happen there, you know happen in a Spanish-speaking country. Why do we go to French? I mean, that's a Marvel thing. So I I don't want to blame this movie too much about that. They just had to take what they had. So send that to, you know, send it to your local Marvel editor and find out what they're going to say. Let's go to Addie from St. Louis. Wow, lots of calls this week. Addie from St. Louis, what do you got? Hi, there are two things this movie does

that just a lot of movies do and it's so inaccurate, drives me up a wall, the first is giving cat milk. Once cats are weaned, they are lactose intolerant and should not have any kind of dairy, especially milk. And movies keep doing this, I'm like, you're putting bad information out there, please stop showing cats drinking milk. The second one, which I more recently learned, was that when a woman's water breaks, unless it's like a weird color or smell,

there's like blood or something, you don't have to immediately get to the hospital or the baby's gonna come out. I am 38 weeks pregnant and just recently learned this because I always learned from movies, like, oh, the water breaks, you got to go. And it's like, no, you usually have quite a few hours before that baby's going to come out.

And also, usually a trickle, not a giant gush, if your water breaks. So my question kind of is, why do movies keep showing these things as facts and, you know, making people think, like me, that they're real. I just like some insight. Thank you. Bye. Finally a cat and I share something in common. We are both lactose intolerant and uh yes I think did we talk about this a little bit in the show about the pregnant woman uh thing because that was something that was a huge misconception for me until we had our first child.

It was like, oh, you could take your time. That never, I never knew about movies. Really warp your brain about all sorts of things about getting pregnant, having babies, so many things there. Don't, don't watch John Hughes movies to, to learn about all that sort of stuff. Um, all right. Wow. Another call. Jeremy from San Francisco, what do you got? Hi Paul. I'm in the middle of watching Madame Webb because I did the reverse.

I listened to the podcast and now I'm watching the movie. At minutes 55 when Dakota Johnson is looking at the notebook from her mother, there's a bunch of molecules and I have a PhD in chemistry and the way that nitrogen is in those molecules, it can never form like those molecules that do not exist. It's just flat out false bad science. And I'm just really surprised that nobody got that. Thanks.

Bye. Fuck yeah, Jeremy. I love that you are pausing the movie to figure this shit out. And let me tell you, I work with a bunch of great prop masters and that just seems like super ass lazy because normally they have these things that they can pull on. The fact that they didn't even go to somebody to make it even kind of right. Wow. These corrections and omissions are stunning. I don't even know if I can pick a winner. I mean, there are so many in here that are so good. I have to say though, and again,

I don't want to make fun of anyone with Mythicenea Gravis, but Stinkpock Turtle, you, I think, might have busted open the funniest reveal of this entire movie that ties everything together. So you are our winner and you get this amazing song from the action Jackson 5. Hit it! You win. As this week's winner, you will receive the admiration of dozens, if not hundreds of listeners. Otherwise, you win nothing. Thank you, Action Jackson 5, for that winner theme song.

Remember, if you want to submit an alt movie tagline or 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. That's 619-Paul-ASK. Coming up after one final break, I'll recommend all the things I'm currently enjoying and then I will announce next week's movie. But first, I've got some bonus audience questions from our Madame Webb live show to play for you. Check out this deleted scene. How are you? I'm good.

I'm John. So Cassie, Cassandra, thank you. Yeah. Put some respect on her name. Cassie Webb. In Greek mythology, there's this character, Cassandra, who can see the future. OK. But she's also cursed so that no one ever believes her. In Greek mythology, there's this character, Cassandra, who can see the future.

But she's also cursed so that no one ever believes her. But that's not what's happening here. No, I mean, that's an interesting observation, but is that in the comics? Do you know if that's in the comics? Okay, anyone? But I do think that's probably why she is named Cassandra, yes. Okay, well thank you. All right, great. We learned a little bit here tonight. OK. Well, thank you. All right, great.

We learned a little bit here tonight. All right, I love it. All right, yeah. OK, your name, your question. I'm Sandy. My question is, in the beginning of the movie, when the ambulance gets hit by the trash truck or whatever, it pans out and the trash truck is headed straight

into a river or stream or something. it's going straight into the water. There does seem, there seems to be a lot of trucks flying into water. A lot of things, like I lived in New York for many years. I never saw cars jump off as many bridges as this movie shows. All right, your name, your question. Sean, this might be more of an unspoiled question, but why... Get out.

That's not this podcast, buddy. Well then ask it on unspoiled, Sean. Take it, Will, take it. Paul, walk away. Walk away. We'll let Amy Nicholson answer. Why in the motel room was the wallpaper in the motel room matching the carpet from the shiny? Yes

We all noticed that you're smart. We get it Okay, you're oh though it was a callback to the the wallpaper and the rug Welcome back by now. I'm sure you've noticed that every Monday we re-release old How Did This Get Made episodes back into our feed. This week's Matinee Monday was our episode on the first ever Marvel movie. You see how we tied that together? Howard the Duck with guest Kristen Schaal and next week's episode will be Solar Babies. That's right with John Mulaney. John Mulaney and Solar Babies, a fun episode. And we even have an interview with Mel Brooks about that episode. Maybe we can get that out there and re-release that as well.

That was done by our great friend Blake J. Harris. Alright, so keep on checking out these replays of classic episodes every Monday. Now, we have spent a lot of time hearing from you, but no one has asked me about me. What am I up to? It is now time for Paul's Pick of the Week. ["Pick of the Week"] It's Paul's Pick of the Week, man. He's teaching his fans a freak and we know that Paul got comfortable days.

Doin' it to the same people's shame. Doin' it to the same people's shame. Thank you, Jonathan Apgar. Wow, that was a great theme. People, thank you. Thank you for coming out for my book tour. You made me a New York Times bestseller. I mean, truly, I am floored by that.

You know how hard that is? I didn't realize how hard that was, uh, until I had a book. I came out in a week where there were, uh, five nonfiction books released. Three of them were memoirs and I still got on the New York Times bestseller list that is an impossible task. I got on the indie bookstore bestseller list, which means that you've all been purchasing from indie bookstores. I can't thank the indie bookstores enough from The Strand to Elliott Bay to Powell's. Everybody who has been so supportive Word Bookstore in Brooklyn, I have just

been completely blown away. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for buying the book, buying the audiobook. Thank you for reviewing it. I mean, that's the other thing. You all have been reviewing this book. It's been amazing your responses to the book. I am full, full, full, full of gratitude. I will ask one more thing and say, if you have not reviewed it yet, please do review it

and recommend it to your friends because something kind of crazy is happening with this book, which is I think that people didn't expect this book to be what it is and now they're really enjoying it and people are excited about that. I'm excited about that. So yeah, let's keep it going. I just wanted to say though, from the bottom of my heart, one of the best parts of this entire tour for the last two weeks when I've been away was meeting

all of you, whether it was in San Francisco or Brooklyn or New York or Chicago. I've just been completely overwhelmed by how wonderful everybody is and I will still get chances out there to meet you and I will be hiding books and stores. You can go to my website to see all the different independent stores that I have left signed books and special gifts in. You can go anywhere from San Francisco to Chicago to New York. Every place that I've been I've been trying to give a good amount of signed books. So I will keep on updating that list on my website and I will have that on the discord as well. But I just truly truly truly blown away loved meeting you all love getting amazing gifts Pete the s

man gave me his collection of Batman trading cards I got the most expensive popcorn in Chicago I signed in airports I met random people I had the best time and it's not over it's just the big chunk of it is over So I just wanted to say thank you. But now enough about that. Let me get into some stuff that you need to get into and First of all, I want to highly recommend Ryan North he is writing the new Fantastic Four So I I want to recommend him as somebody who I think is very funny, but I also think that his Fantastic Four run is genius. He's written some books. I

love his books. Like he wrote a book called How to Overtake the World, How to Invent Everything, but this Fantastic Four run is truly a plus-plus. I got my son into reading comic books and it got me into reading comic books with him which is great because it's our first time that we've been able to do it. If you're looking for a movie that's fun to watch with your kids, I'm gonna recommend Wish Dragon. It's a new Sony movie that's on Netflix. My son went nuts for it and I was a little bit nervous about it because he made me watch that Woody Woodpecker

movie and I didn't really love that one. But I get why it could be fun, I guess. Anyway, Wish Dragon, I enjoyed so much more. It's kind of like Aladdin, but with a little bit of a different spin on it. I really, really enjoyed it. All right, let's also talk about books. People, I am a New York Times bestselling author.

So yeah, I'm gonna recommend some fucking books. Chelsea Devantes, you heard her on our 50 Shades of Grey episodes. She has a brand new book out. It is called, I Shouldn't Be Telling You This, but I'm Going to Anyway. Chelsea is absolutely fantastic. Her book is perfect. If you want

to listen to it, go to bookshop.org or libro.org and they will give money to independent bookstores, but support her. Her book is coming out. I'm also reading and I got to say it's pretty fucking great. Um, eruption, which is essentially a Michael Crichton book, but he passed away before he was able to finish it. So they got James Patterson to finish a Michael Crichton book about the biggest earthquake of all time happening on Hawaii's big Island. Uh, it is so fun. I'm in the middle of it right now and I'm loving every single moment of it.

It is so, so good. I know I'm a little bit late to the game on this one, but the wager is a fantastic read. And if you don't want to read the wager, it's a true story about, um, about a British maritime ship that is lost at sea. A year later, the, uh the survivors of the shipwreck arrive and then a year after that another ship of survivors arrive and are like fuck those first survivors that's how the book starts it is great

it's I think one of the books of the year the wager it's written by the same guy who did killers of the flower moon but the books of the year, The Wager. It's written by the same guy who did Killers of the Flower Moon, but the audiobook of that is really fucking solid. I love it. I'm cursing a lot, probably because I'm tired. But I really, really wanted to recommend those. If we're talking music, I want to recommend Chief Keef's new album. I think it's new, Almighty So Too. I really have been digging that. Also, I mean,

there's so many things I've been doing. I gotta recommend people to get up on Summerhouse. It is, I think, one of the best Bravo shows. It really is a fun one to start off on. I'm all on board with all the drama going on there. I think this is a good season. You could start on this season. I really do think you could start on this season and you would just enjoy it for all that it is. Somebody asked me when I was on Watch What Happens Live, they're like, how do I tell my husband to watch Bravo with me? I think that Summer House might be the best entry point. I really do believe that. I'm a big believer in that show and the positive power of it. I also really, I'm in a Bosch hole right now. Bosch season five and six just devoured them. I'm late on the game to Bosch a little bit and I've

been loving those. And I will say that on Unspooled, we went back and watched the original Mad Max, and now I've been on a Mad Max run. So I've watched Mad Max one, two, and three, getting geared up for Furiosa. And gosh, I gotta tell you, Bad Boys 2, let's talk about it. I'm actually gonna be on, I think, Dave Chensky's podcast

talking about Bad Boys 2 next week, so take a listen for that. All right, I think I've given you a bunch of different things. I'm never gonna be as thorough as Jason is, but let me tell you this. I will say that you know that I'm a huge Survivor fan, and I almost lost my shit when I saw our friend friend of the pod John Lovett

as a cast member on next season's Survivor it's a must tune in I hated the ending of this Survivor I think these people played a very dumb game I'm very angry at it but this is not a survivor podcast so I'm not gonna go into detail about that as well but hey maybe next season I should. People say I should. I want to. Anyway you can subscribe to my sub stack. Maybe I can go in there and bitch about Survivor. Alright next week's movie. I know you're waiting for it. We are gonna be going from Madame Webb to Drop Dead Fred. Wait what? No not Drop Dead Fred again. No we'll be watching the 2000 fantasy adventure film, Merlin, The Return, starring Drop Dead Fred himself,

Rick Mahal, but shh, don't tell June. Here's a breakdown of the plot. The sorcerer Merlin awakens King Arthur and his knights in order to stop a scientist from freeing the evil Mordred from his prison in another world. Oh, I love this movie. Rotten Tomatoes doesn't have any reviews for it, so instead we turn to letterbox user WM Connell who writes,

The scene in where the knights attack a truck with swords because they think it's a monster or something was actually pretty good. And honestly, William McConnell, that is the dumbest scene I've ever seen in my life. Anyway, listen to the trailer for Merlin the Return. Yes, it's come. Now, to save the kingdom, they must travel across time itself. Patrick Bergens. For the dragon! Tia Carrera. And Rick Mael. I am too old for this.

As Merlin. Merlin, the Return. You can currently stream Merlin the Return for free on Tubi, Freevy, Pluto TV, and Roku. It all sounds like made up places. And Roku, and you can rent it on Amazon Prime Video. Separately, I will encourage you to check out Hoopla and Canopy, which are digital media services offered by your local public library.

And I'm loving my librarians. They've asked me to go to their association of a librarian event in San Diego. I'm very honored to be there with my book. Support your local public libraries. I know the waiting list for my book at these places is stupidly long, but I appreciate that they have a couple of copies in stock, but it looks like you may have to wait for a couple years to get it on the rate that I'm seeing people get these books. So keep on asking your public library, write a review for me on Joyful Recollections of

the Trauma and keep telling your friends, I really appreciate it. Again, I'm overwhelmed and I'm not even being, I just don't know how to even spin it more than just saying I'm just overwhelmed by the reviews, by you all, by what you've been writing to me privately, publicly, it's really been awesome. Anyway, that is it for the show. Please remember to rate and review. It helps.

And if you listen on Apple podcasts or Spotify, make sure you are following us and that you have automatic downloads turned on. You can visit us on social media, all platforms at HDTGM. A big thank you to our producers, Scott Sonny and Molly Reynolds, our movie picking producer Averill Halley, and our associate producer Jesses Nerus, and our engineers Casey Hulford and Rich Garcia. We will see you next week for Merlin, The Return.
