Starting point is 00:00:00 changing your safe word comics and culture and the best music docs you're not watching all this and more on today's last looks places people hello my sex club mannequins and shirtless Dorito munchers the password to this episode is cumquat I'm yours Paul shear and welcome to how to this get made last looks where you get to voice your issues on open marriage not open marriage in the general sense but the movie and Jason and I chat about all the stuff that we are currently into plus we are gonna play an exclusive deleted scene from our last episode and reveal next week's movie and as always
Starting point is 00:01:07 I will try to solve your problems on Paul's outline but first things first a big shout-out to War Widow I love that opening song and if you want to make your own song for the show please do we're looking for second opinion themes you can bring them to us we also are looking for themes for this last look that's right send them here to how did this get made at your wolf comm keep them short 15 20 seconds is best let's get into it I know we talk a lot about movies but there are bigger things out in the world you got problems let me solve them it is now time for Paul's helpline thank you AC gravy for that
Starting point is 00:02:09 theme I love it themes are getting better and better every single week I love all these and we have a true great call coming up I mean all the calls this week have been really stellar but this one was a particularly interesting one why don't I let anonymous take it away but he's in the 70s and I just found out looking at Twitter that if you look at his tweets and replies that he's replying to a lot of these like spam you know these spam porn things you get saying really nasty things like you don't know if you want to bleep some of this or whatever but you know I would if you I'll bleep it myself and I would you
Starting point is 00:03:01 know yeah your sexy nice camel toe nice that's you know stuff like that sorry I didn't bleep myself there but anyway um so I was wondering what should I do should I tell him that everyone can see that but then I risk embarrassing him I don't know or is there a better way of telling him I was trying to think of a way of showing him that they're you know not his but someone else's I don't know so anyway I thought I'd get your advice love the show thanks bye wow I was not expecting this and I totally get your dilemma I mean this is a tough thing to do how do you bring it up and I have a solution because this was just in the
Starting point is 00:03:47 news Sam Jackson had been liking a lot of posts from porn sites on his Twitter and people started commenting on it there's been a few other celebrities that also have done that and I think you can casually bring up oh my gosh did you see that story about Sam Jackson and then he'll be like what do you mean oh well whenever you like or respond to something everyone can see it and then let it dawn on him that okay wait a second now if he keeps on doing it he's been fairly warned but that way you get to have a funny little story with him you don't look down on it you don't make it like a big deal but you just let him
Starting point is 00:04:31 know that yeah it was it was embarrassing for everyone to see what Sam Jackson was into and I think that might be the best way to handle it tell me how it goes please call back I want to hear okay next up we have Chris from Illinois he's a teacher that's a great question Chris take it away hi Paul this is Chris from Illinois I have a comics question for you since I know you you and Jason are avid readers I teach in a school district that has a program for teachers to teach other teachers I want to present a class on how American comics have reflected American history the topics I have thought of so far our
Starting point is 00:05:10 World War two the comics code authority civil rights and the political use of the Punisher symbol what topics can you think of that I should present maybe Jason has some ideas too thank you so much bye bye wow I love this and I think you've covered a lot of interesting ground already one that just jumps out at me is the Watchman right because the Watchman really I think is a reflection of a lot of questions that we are asking ourselves about morality and what is good and what is done for the greater good there's a lot there obviously steeped in history as Nixon I believe is on his fifth term as president when Watchman
Starting point is 00:05:54 takes place so that would be one that I feel like is so chunky and you can really take away a lot of different lessons there that one is a perfect one to be pulled apart I also would recommend maybe looking at the idea of acceptance across the board you know comic books did things in really interesting ways like for example the X-Men had a gay wedding and that was a big deal I think you know to have this issue of the X-Men in 2012 come out that tackled something like that it may have introduced a lot of people to something in a way that might have given them a way to accept it if they were against it and I think that
Starting point is 00:06:35 continues on and on as you see these heroes these Marvel characters changing like whether it's in 2014 when Thor becomes a woman or how Spider-Man becomes Miles Morales you know the idea of the reflection of the culture and the changing times and not every character has to be a white man I think is really interesting and you could really step back and just do a whole feature on Ms. Marvel which is you know this amazing character obviously the Disney Plus show there too but the story behind it is really interesting as well because there had never been a reflection of a character like this in the
Starting point is 00:07:14 Marvel world before so I do think that we could talk about the idea of you know taking the modern world and fusing it into our comic books I think that there's so much here and this is just off top of my head I will ask Jason about it we'll get back to you some more all right great question but we are always looking for more of Paul's helpline voicemails so if you need some advice give me a call at 619 P-A-U-L-A-S-K that's 619-728-5275 last episode I put a call out to anyone who needs help with Valentine's Day ideas and I got zero calls come on I'm the love doctor give me a chance to give you some advice about
Starting point is 00:07:53 sweeping your partner off their feet or if you just want to vent about shitty past Valentine Day gifts shitty Valentine's dates I want to be your sounding board you don't have to even call with a question you can just call to bitch about how much you hate Valentine's Day again the number is 619 P-A-U-L-A-S-K all right people we are going back live at Largo that's right in February the movie is ambulance check the Largo calendar to see if tickets are still available and you can always check out Jason and I doing a live improv with our group dinosaur pretty much the last Thursday of every month
Starting point is 00:08:31 on stage at Largo go to Largo-LA.com for tickets and info and every Thursday night Rob Hubel and I go live on Twitch and YouTube and Facebook to do a show with our special friends and just kind of fuck around and have a good time so check that out at twitch.tv slash friendzone but coming up we'll get into your questions and comments and concerns about open marriage but first you've probably noticed in the podcast that I often introduce myself as tall John Shear and if you are a newer how did this get made listener we realize that you might be perplexed by this moniker so every now and then we will
Starting point is 00:09:08 help explain why I call myself tall John and Dishes Queen on our discord pulled some clips from our old Jaws 3d episode and Serenity episodes that explain the origin of tall John Shear so courtesy of Dishes Queens will be right back after this brief how did this get made history lesson I also was a lone name person there was no Paul talking about you both have very common barely ever heard it I was very special June I was very special I was alone in the world as a Jason you know it was so hard for people to pronounce my name do you pronounce the L is it a strong L well I do remember not to sit not to get off on too
Starting point is 00:09:51 much of a tangent but Paul and I had to pick up a pizza and oh hi once and oh my god we're staying with a group of friends over Thanksgiving but it was like the day after nobody wanted to cook Jason you weren't invited I guess but I must not have been there at this house in oh hi that apparently a group of you are at yeah remember why your best friends so the next night after Thanksgiving we ordered pizzas so we don't have to cook and that's the way we roll yeah because otherwise you cook to the whole time I mean we got it I mean you know put on that apron yeah so we go to get the pizzas Paul and I go to get them
Starting point is 00:10:27 everybody else days back and people are hungry people are hungry people are hungry and we get to the pizza place and well we go in there like yeah we're waiting we're waiting and Paul says I'm sorry I'm just checking in on because we ordered like five pies a lot of people were there I'm like and yet I didn't get invited you were you definitely weren't there wow yeah so many people I've ordered five pies for Paul she's like I don't have that order and we're like what and she's like I don't I have nothing here for Paul and we're like we just called what do you mean you said to come by in 40 minutes she's like I'm so
Starting point is 00:11:17 sorry I don't have anything here for Paul and I'm like freaking out I'm like Paul all of our dear friends are back there everybody's so hungry all of your dear friends let's just say the people in our life that we choose to holiday with holiday holidays not like vacation holiday holiday holiday like a bank holiday yes we bank holiday group yes it's a very odd group great people odd group so then she says I don't have anything here I I guess I have an order for five pizzas for tall tall I'm enjoying watching Judo story I love that somehow the story is getting slower and slower I hope your answer was like
Starting point is 00:12:30 well that's not us cuz we are Paul I think you misheard me and she's like no no no I this is for a tall tall the name the common name TL tall wow it was a wild that's alright it is now time for second opinion this movie was horrid don't know what the hell I just watched let's head on off to Amazon to see what other people thought June John and Jason read second opinions June John and Jason read second opinion John ever Dana who thought my name was John John and Jason get me that's a shirt I think I see what's happening that's the shirt June John and Jason she might have been mistaken for June and I's other
Starting point is 00:13:46 podcast oh June John and Jason which we do with the film critic you do with John Ratzenberger from Cheers Cheers that's the t-shirt June John and Jason we should decide who John is the you take John Lennon I love that I want to leave that one in just because it's crazy wild was it and repeated it so many times it wasn't a slip of the tongue here's the thing it's easier to say John in that structure yes June John and Jason right rather than June Paul and like yeah hard pee stops you yeah continuing forward I mean I understand for song reasons why she changed it there's no world in which you just let go of Paul from here on out
Starting point is 00:14:41 or you guys become poon Paul and pacing last week we talked at length about open marriage we had questions and we might have even missed a few things here is your chance to set a straight fact check us if you will it is time for corrections and omissions thank you madlix for that great theme okay let's go to the discord Jake Z 23 writes the first time the couples go to the sex club vulvania says tonight's safe word is suspenders why change the safe word every night I get changing the password but why is it necessary to change the safe word to wouldn't it be better to have a standard safe word all the time
Starting point is 00:15:29 Jake holy shit I can't believe we didn't pick up on that yeah they shouldn't change the safe word that should be the only thing that is consistent maybe she was reminding them like oh the safe word is always suspenders but also suspenders well I mean look you're cutting out a large portion of pleasure if you you know can't use suspenders and whatever you want to get up to in those rooms I would say use something you would never use there you know maybe like brother p-touch label printer is a safe word that would be something that you probably wouldn't use in you know group sex or you know swinging or maybe
Starting point is 00:16:07 you would because maybe you'd have to label like who's my partner who's not I don't know anyway nothing is really safe so there we go Cameron H I love the fact that Dylan doesn't even try to cover for Becca when Ron calls the hospital asking after her I mean he knows they're having marital problems and it's clear that Becca has lied to her husband about her whereabouts and he's like nope she hasn't been here for three hours bye he doesn't even do Becca the courtesy of texting her up by the way your gels husband is checking in on you so be prepared for some questions when you get home Dylan is a supportive
Starting point is 00:16:36 and resourceful friend but he clearly loves to stir up some of that shit too amen Cameron great call and I think that really speaks to the actor Dylan who shows you that he is a friend but you know what he's also a little mischievous alright grayest hound writes regarding the paternity test Becca takes a hair from a hairbrush to use as a DNA sample Dylan referenced watching true crime shows to know how to get a sample from someone without them knowing but anyone who watches true crime would know that a shed of hair is a very poor source of nuclear DNA and it would be useless in a paternity test gigatastic chimes in says
Starting point is 00:17:12 well you know you can actually get what are called non-invasive prenatal paternity tests where you need to take blood work from the mother and it's important here a cheek swab from the father so there's really no way that they got the DNA needed to find out if shirtless Ron was the father I'd like to think that Dylan's ex-boyfriend just kind of faked up the results to give her a piece of mind and you know what back to Dylan that's where he's a good friend he's mischievous he's gonna maybe screw you over about your jealous husband looking for you but he's also gonna make sure that that jealous husband feels
Starting point is 00:17:45 like he has a paternity over his son you know it's it's it's hard it's hard out there ginger writes in the first sex club scene the bartender asks what drinks they want after the two female state they aren't drinking Ron says nothing for me I'm the designated driver guess what Ron 50% of your party just that they're not drinking you don't have to be the designated driver anymore well look maybe Ron is like I we are agreed to it so I'm mentally ready to be it and now that you're not drinking that doesn't mean that next time we go out I won't drink I don't want to switch back and forth maybe he feels like when they go
Starting point is 00:18:22 out next time he'll be more ready to drink who knows but yeah Ron doesn't really need to like lean into the designated driver when the majority of the parties and drink I think that's the thing he doesn't have to announce like I'm the hero here because no one's drinking so good call there all right let's go to the phones we have a great call here that kind of describes what it is like in sex clubs in LA take a listen about the sex clubs in LA I am experienced in this area it is technically legal in LA but they do the police are constantly shutting down various sex clubs I know someone who
Starting point is 00:18:59 was literally in the middle of a party while when the police raided it here in LA a few years ago mostly they're in houses people get Airbnb's and they send out emails and also there's never there's no sex clubs where there's no rules wow they're always rules trying to think what else I've never seen people wear masks there's usually some kind of buffet area which I find a little gross and I've never seen anyone fall asleep in one of the back room but you know it might happen wow I love this thank you for sharing the buffet does seem unappealing on some level but I do love what you kind of brought up here you've given us
Starting point is 00:19:50 more details and honestly have made it more interesting than the movie did because how interesting would it have been if they just were going to different Airbnb's that's why you need the text to know where the club is because the club's constantly moving and of course all clubs have rules and I doubt they changed the safe word every night although if they do let us know anonymous all right back to the discord from friend of the pod just pointing out that vulvania is played by the amazing Debra Wilson who is the longest serving original cast member on mad TV yes so many people brought this to our attention
Starting point is 00:20:26 Rocket Wesker chimes into add Debra Wilson is a prolific voice actor including voice and characters on Star Trek Prodigy a show that Jason also appears in yeah I love Debra Wilson and honestly I did not put it together sometimes it just goes over my head too so hats off to Debra Wilson who had I think the most interesting character in this entire film and really carried it with an ease and didn't make her character out to be something weird or stereotypical way to go Danny the wall writes despite the awesomeness of the name of alvania I'm conflicted by the character it's great to have a person of
Starting point is 00:21:03 color as one of the only six actors in the story but disappointing that's in a role that's meant to be exoticized as the other she's bald black tattooed placed in the world of the story to represent the bad and evil side of this not mainstream world and isn't it strange that the only ones who quote unquote belong to the seedy open relationship world are the outsiders the gay Dylan and the exotic vulvania further proof that this is conservative propaganda trying its hardest to show how terrible anything is other than traditional white marriage making babies Danny the wall I can't argue with you
Starting point is 00:21:40 that is a very astute point and I think you are right I think it could be read that way I also feel like based on the conversation we've been having here that vulvania and Dylan are the most interesting characters so through the eyes of what you're saying like a conservative I I could see how they are dangerous or exotic but from somebody who may be a little bit more open they also seem the most three-dimensional I don't know if that solves anything but just a different way of looking at it but point taken this shit is bananas Anna as I think the name that was she's trying to get out there if Ron and Becca are
Starting point is 00:22:20 out of the open marriage why do they still have the Caligula app why do couples go to the club in the first place when they're just gonna be with each other again why not stay at home hmm that is a good question maybe it's like those apps you just never delete I mean I have plenty of apps on my phone that I never delete and then every now and then I'm like why is minion rush still on here why do I have potbelly the app that's like a sandwich store that I love but there's none nearby so I don't need that app it was just when I was shooting something in like Boston that I had that app so I buy that they just
Starting point is 00:22:57 didn't get a chance to erase it Cameron H writes I adored the scene wherein Mindy's machinations are revealed she orders them all to strip and forms them she's going to murder everyone after they all have sex one last time and Max's first response is indignation that her Caligula text got Ron fired bro I think you got bigger issues in the moment yeah Cameron H you're right there are look sometimes you just don't want your friend to get fucked over at the job maybe he would just get a you know maybe he was basically taunting her like Mindy you will try to kill us but we will survive
Starting point is 00:23:35 and truthfully he was right he was right so I'm glad that he got a dig in about getting Ron fired wow so many great corrections and omissions this week but there can only be one that is the best and this week the best is our anonymous from LA thank you for opening our eyes and you don't win anything but you do get this amazing song from Garrett Parker hit it Garrett all right thank you anonymous for sharing a true look at the world of LA open relationships and sex clubs if you want to chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode hit us up at the discord at discord.gg slash HDTGM or call us at 619 PAUL
Starting point is 00:24:24 ASK that's 619 PAUL ask coming up Jason and I chat about all the things that we are watching but first here is a bonus deleted scene from our open marriage episode where I tell a brief story about running into JK Simmons at the dentist back after this JK Simmons awesome dude lovely guy came on NTSS early on in the series before we knew it it was got the comedy killed and I've always had a really nice relationship with him we share the same dentist and my dentist says oh JK's here you should go say hi and I go I don't want to and they're like no no go say hi to JK I'm like well I mean not really I don't want to go go and they
Starting point is 00:25:04 bring me into JK's room where JK is getting you know dentistry done his mouth is open he's in a chair and it's like JK Paul's here and I'm like hey how I'm like it was the most awkward I feel like my dentist messed up my relationship with JK to comb into anybody in the middle of dentistry that's and have a conversation that's like a hippo violation must be that's insane that's utterly insane that's really upsetting yeah I don't want anyone to see me at the dentist I mean I had to go to obviously Dr. Mario Paz might worth the dentist as an adult and it was just like sort of an open floor plan
Starting point is 00:25:41 situation where there were it was me and like 15 10-year-olds getting braces at the same time so I had to get all of my orthodontia work done in community which was very embarrassing but also you that's when you started working on your highlights magazine you were afraid you were this and that a frickin right goofy singa what was her name? Gallant? Gallant? All right people you know that How Did This Get Made is double dipping that's right every Monday we are re-releasing an older episode from the vault this week's matinee Monday was body of evidence and next week we are going all
Starting point is 00:26:21 the way back to 2013 for our episode on Congo with Nick Weigar so check that out and try to figure out why we picked Congo it might be about a film coming up which we'll announce in just a bit okay we have spent a lot of time hearing from you but now it's time for me to just chat with my good friend Jason Seth Chatfield play us in Jason it's been a while and I know I've been anxious to get into what you've been up to because I know that right now this kind of end of year beginning of New Year is a time where I really get to watch and pull things in and I feel oh yeah full and excited by what I've been watching and
Starting point is 00:27:23 old stuff and new stuff I'm still arguing that you should get a letterbox account because I don't even think that people you can have a fake one I would just follow you that's what I was gonna ask you I meant to have this conversation with you offline but yeah is is there a way that I can because I know it's a social it's a public facing thing but I mean like let's say for example we're gonna watch open marriage for the show yes right which we did does that mean can people search open marriage and see who watched it and be like oh I bet that's well you could you don't have to log everything that you watch I mean
Starting point is 00:27:54 it's not like oh right oh I thought it automatically knew no no no no no you entering it you enter it when you got enter it now I do like to put how did this get made movie up there every now and then because I feel like for fans of the show they get a little sneak preview but I don't write I don't really write anything about all this stuff but I kind of keep it more as like a log of like what have I watched for just logging purposes it's all there well I do that anyway I keep I keep I keep track well I mean it's a good interest is a good way to get into it Steven Soderbergh just last week put out his end of the year
Starting point is 00:28:30 what it what he watched read yeah the whole thing it's fascinating and he's been doing this for years and as a result I started doing it years ago so I just I write down everything I watch read or listen to I I would like to keep a track of what I read because I read so much and I feel like I don't ever keep track of it and that bums yeah you know it not bums me out but I'm like oh but I think it's smart just why not I mean it's so easy to open up that letterbox and I just input it or get inspired by it which I like I like that I like that okay what do you got well I want to just talk about one movie that I really got
Starting point is 00:29:06 excited about that's old and I want to know if you have any like connection to it have you ever seen the in-laws oh of course Peter Falk yes incredible movie this is a legendary comedy serpentine legendary comedy from my childhood same and June 2 and Alan are this is an Alan Arkin Peter Falk you know it's not a romantic comedy it's a comedy about their kids are getting married and they get sucked into like a like a foreign dictator complete insanity CIA spy mission basically yeah it really is like a buddy comedy where Alan Arkin plays the best straight man of all time the the the dynamic between the two of them
Starting point is 00:29:57 is awesome and you don't know what Peter Falk's endgame is but Peter Falk is involved in some bad business and the action scenes might have been oh they're so fun and so fun I think this might have been the first time I saw either of these I think so too I might have known Colombo I might have yeah you're right maybe I did maybe I did but Colombo wasn't funny like this and I just had revisited it and I was like oh my god this movie makes me laugh so hard the action is really great but the thing I realized and Junie and I were talking about this a lot is the scenes are incredibly static like the camera kind
Starting point is 00:30:34 of just stays in one spot and they're running around and it you know if that makes it better but there is something about the comedy in just a locked off shot that made me yeah just like you're watching the frames are big and wide and they are entering and exiting it's a I was just gonna look up who did you look up directed Arthur Hiller I believe oh okay or I want to say Arthur Miller but maybe I think it is Arthur Hiller or maybe I'm wrong you're right okay no no you're right Arthur Hiller okay what a this movie is fantastic oh he did the hospital see no evil the in-laws Silver Streak another great buddy comedy
Starting point is 00:31:14 movie with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor interesting and also love fortune yeah holy shit but yeah author author what a what a wild list he's got a really anyway yeah I went back and looked and then I actually just bought the criterion DVD of it because there's like Alan Arkham doing commentary on it and yeah and there's some really fun little things like Ed Bigley juniors in it he's very young and he I gotta watch it I haven't watched it in years but that was a real favorite in my family same my dad loved yeah yeah it's this one that another movie to go back to I'm gonna blast from the past you and see
Starting point is 00:31:53 if you have any allegiance to this movie which I've been looking for for ages and has just not been available but now is streaming I think on maybe HBO uh-huh which is Johnny dangerously oh I loved this movie this is a Michael Keaton mobster like 30s era mobster kind of aping all the gangster tropes like airplane or top secret it's yes it's a spoof movie of mobster movies except it's it's not so spooky as to be sketches no it still has a propulsive narrative directed by Amy Heckerling who it's an Amy Heckerling movie you know weird Al music in it it's fantastic it's really funny Joe Piscopo Danny yes I remember Mary Lou
Starting point is 00:32:42 Henner super clearly which is like they're in a car chase and one of the ways that they're getting away is they have like different wallpaper on the car so they can it was like a black car then it became a different it was like it's very visually fun but also like I love Michael Keaton I was a kid hello he's so good he's so good in this movie this movie mr. mom he was so good and mr. mom I remember he was just so funny yeah these are I watched that and I watched better off dead the other day oh wow though like these are movies that better off dead to me that and one crazy summer which we're both directed by the
Starting point is 00:33:19 same guy both starring John Cusack I mean essentially had a little bit of a Preston Sturges vibe in the sense that a lot of the cast are merger there yeah and those movies I always felt like we're the ones that I knew that no one else knew because they were just like these little weird they were funny but a little weirdo yeah savage Steve savage Steve Wilson right there's a savage no no you're right it is Holland sorry sorry I misheard you yeah and he also I think has gone on to like direct like a bunch of Disney stuff now like that's his oh wait I didn't look that's right his big cray claim to fame but I love those
Starting point is 00:33:58 movies and John Cusack again John Cusack being like that I love there's like oh that's my favorite yeah that's my favorite like like that era of and then say anything and like that era of John Cusack and then of course the adult John Cusack of you know gross point blank I loved gross point blank oh my god but then the Nick Hornby oh yeah yes high fidelity is what I'm thinking of and then all the way I just watched serendipity recently how is the rom-com with me Kate Beckinsale fantastic absolutely terrific there is a great clip I should try to find it if we do I'll pop it in but where John Cusack was on like Conan
Starting point is 00:34:39 and he was in this movie called like must love dogs yes Conan was like must love dogs you know tell me about it and goes well let me tell you you get a bunch of scripts and sometimes you look at the paycheck of them and the one that has the most you say all right must love dogs very like wow that was it like and it was like I always am amazed at that because I feel like I'm so conscious of respecting even if I don't believe in something I will at least do due diligence but to go out on a major late-night talk show and where you're promoting it yes we are promoting the movie actively in the moment that's why it's such a fuck
Starting point is 00:35:25 you and I and I can also see how that like not kills your career but like gets people so nervous about anything yes absolutely oh my god yeah I mean it's holy shit it's but I mean junk is like I remember when I live in New York City they were shooting City Hall that Al Pacino movie with Bridget Fonda in front of my house and I was so excited I lived on park in 20th so everything that shot in Gramercy Park all the trucks lined up in front of my house so it was like Harrison Ford and John Cusack and it was just great to I had to walk there and I like no one could shoot me away because it was my front step and it was
Starting point is 00:36:07 I like I felt like I was always getting I could hang out my lobby and just wait to see that very cool Sam Jackson the only person who would not sign an autograph for me but but also respectful like looked at me sure and was like no like not and not even in like I think if I was a child he would have done it it was like you're too old sure yeah yeah yeah not into that and I respect as I get older I kind of respect it I do like in the moment I was crushed but also he didn't see like I don't know he wasn't rude about it or he wasn't you know mean or anything he just wasn't sometimes people ask me for something like if
Starting point is 00:36:46 I'm working or something I'll say oh I'd rather run I'd rather not right now yeah you actually do a great job yeah very polite but I mean I'd rather not right now I'm not this moment I was telling Hubel about this last week that there was a this moment where I lost track of my kids on vacation and by losing track of them it was they were out of sight right and yeah and I went to go look and I couldn't see them and I was in a moment of panic the whole thing probably took about three minutes but in that moment of panic walking up and down these stairs this guy came up to me was like Andre I was like dude I can't talk
Starting point is 00:37:28 I was like I can't right now I gotta go like it was like and I've never been help me set my line up I was like I need to find my kids but yeah those are those moments where it is like I mean it is it's just funny to see how different people react and I've seen certain people reacted in crazy ways have you been diving into any of these Oscar movies or have you been doing that kind of world not and you know what I've barely scratched the surface that is I just have been setting up my screeners and getting all that going I've been sucked into I've been really heavily watching like a lot of
Starting point is 00:38:10 dad TV a lot of like a lot of slow horses season two a lot of SAS rogue heroes season one I mean like some really but then also I will say I'm also Lou you know I watched all of letter Kenny season 11 came out I saw that I'm so good to that what else oh you know what I I've been watching a bunch of music documentaries all of which are fantastic even if they're not about necessarily artists or stuff that I am super passionate about so like I watch the Ronnie James Dio documentary oh wow dreamers never die it's absolutely fantastic the meet me in the bathroom documentary which is about the Williams Burt
Starting point is 00:38:58 musics yes I read that book and I yes exactly because great there's something about that book that reminds me of what we were doing in comedy and I don't mean it to be because it's the same time and we were just not as cool as that but we were working kind of the same spots Paul when I tell you when I'm watching the documentary there are a number of occasions where I'm like oh wait I was at this show that's what I guess possible it's possible I might be in this crowd it was it was so it was really weird to be watching a thing that is demonstra documentary that is demonstrably about the past and recognize it
Starting point is 00:39:38 as my youth well I'm like oh the that past is my I was present for well I remember like the strokes yeah being at UCB and I remember like oh yeah Julian Casablanca's being somewhere or like oh he was just here like there was this like yeah the TV on the radio guys James Murphy I remember talking to James Murphy you know a thousand years can I tell you the weirdest moment for me you know obviously we like a lot of similar music I mean you obviously know a lot more than I do in that world but I will say that I was a huge fan of like all these bands we're talking about but especially yeah yes and when I go to my
Starting point is 00:40:16 kids preschool handful years ago I realized that Karen O is also going to my kids preschool and so for one of their like events the yeah yeah yes played at the fucking incredible for 50 people and it was the best I have also friends who go to a very rich school out here that Beyonce and Jay-Z go to and like Beyonce did the Christmas concert like I was like whoa that that this was amazing this was very chill it was like oh yeah we'll play some songs and I was like oh this is great it was I really enjoyed that documentary because it really was like it was both really cool it's a lot of music that I like but then also
Starting point is 00:40:56 nostalgic for my twenties and thirties frankly and then incredibly a band I absolutely love and have seen numerous times with our good friend Owen Burke there is a 50th anniversary for King Crimson called in the court of the Crimson King and it is fantastic oh I love I know that you guys go to that and every now and then I do I do want to know what's going on not what's going on there but it's like bond I love that you have that bond it is all like it is all like 65 year old dudes with long gray ponytails me and Owen and just like and then like two and a half hours of intense progressive rock oh I can't get
Starting point is 00:41:41 enough the best I know that we have to keep this one short but I will tell you one thing that you should maybe put on your list it's kind of bridging the gap of music and movies Matilda the musical on Netflix you saw it you know how I feel about music I know I hate them I know but boy is this dynamic and electric to watch it's so good and has one of your favorites in it I mean Emma Thompson is the queen and unrecognizable like I was like oh it was I saw this on stage in London years and years ago and it was one of those shows that really resonated to me because very rarely do you see a show about kids where adults
Starting point is 00:42:22 are wrong like that's one of the idea and I thought I was like and the way they captured it the way it looks I don't keep us but I was like that is no it's really and this is coming from someone who hates musicals I was I thought it was in like impeccably done really very very immersive and compelling the kid performances are incredible I thought it was great I know it's really good alright so Jason will do more quart chat absolutely we'll talk soon all right thank you Jason and thank you Seth Chatfield for that amazing just chat theme that brought us into the section any singer songwriter out there if you
