Wow Last looks motherfucker All showy folks from my house Last looks motherfucker Toon is punching robots out
Starting point is 00:00:34 Last looks motherfucker Jason's dick is probably out Last looks motherfucker How did this get made? Wow Hello people of Earth and hello all my poo-chees. It's me, Paul Scheer, and welcome to How Did This Get Made? Last Looks. Here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Yes, we all know this is the episode where you, the audience, get to voice your opinions about Sinbad and the Seven Seas. But did you also know that this is an episode where I'm gonna talk to John Gabers about summer movies, and I've seen a couple ones that aren't even out yet. I'm gonna give to John Gabers about summer movies, and I've seen a couple ones that aren't even out yet. I'm gonna give you the inside scoop. Jessica St. Clair talks about her butt rash
Starting point is 00:01:10 and how that relates to Eddie Murphy in a deleted scene that will be coming up in just a little bit. Plus, we didn't have time for all the great songs in the live show at Boise. We're gonna play you an extra special one in just a little bit. But first and foremost, let me tell you this.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Simbad of the Seven Seas probably should have had the tagline, Simbad of the Seven Seas, Long Tails, High Sales, and Coke Nails. And how do I know that? Because Frosted Jafar came up with that tagline. And if you have a tagline like Frosted Jafar did, and it's funny, we'll put it here on the show. You just submit it to our Discord,
Starting point is 00:01:47 Discord.gg slash HDTGM, and I might read it. Okay, people, big episode coming up. Let's break it all down. But first, let's give a big shout out to LatexDruil for that incredible last looks opening theme. Now, you know, I love these songs. They're great. I want more of them. I want to meet more latex drools. So what do you do? Well, you just hit us up on our website. You go right to our website and there's a little area called
Starting point is 00:02:16 submit a song. You just click that and you go there. 15 to 20 seconds is best. Now, here's what I need to tell you all. Our dear Averill Halley has been going through a battle with cancer and she recently received some very intense treatment for brain cancer and we are here to support her. We want to send her a lot of love and that's what she wants right now as well. You can tag movie bitches or just DM Movie Bitches wherever you are on social media, whether it's YouTube or Instagram, and she will get them.
Starting point is 00:02:53 You can also go to our Discord where we have a mailing address for Avril, or you could just email andrew at moviebitches.xyz. She's not asking for anything more than fan art, love, good wishes, anything at all to keep her spirits up. We love Avril so much. She's such an integral part of our show. We just wanna continue to keep those good wishes,
Starting point is 00:03:17 those good spirits flowing towards her. So get better soon, Avril. We're thinking about you every single day. We're gonna be in Vancouver in July, so I wanna make sure that you get your tickets for our Vancouver show. Tickets are on sale now. Just go to HDTGM.com.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Now, I know a lot of people have been asking about this. I ran out of books at the last couple of shows. My paperback is out. It has 20 extra pages. I created a brand new part of my website that has videos from UCB, things that people have never seen before, pictures from my childhood.
Starting point is 00:03:52 It's kind of like the show and tell version of my book. It's like if I was Will Smith, my book would have had all that stuff in it, but it's apparently very expensive to produce a book with a lot of pictures in it, so I opted to go the other route, which is to just do it all in my own time on a Squarespace website.
Starting point is 00:04:09 That's not an ad, I just did it that way. Jason is on Taskmaster. You can watch that every single week on YouTube or on the Taskmaster app. Now, people, when we were in Boise, we really battled. We battled with an audience that was coming to play a game that we were not totally on board with. We didn't know what that game was. We edited down some of our audience Q&As because they were really just statements and not even about the movie.
Starting point is 00:04:42 We love Boise and the people that came to play were great, but you know what? We need to interrogate this movie a little bit more. So now it is time for Corrections and Omissions. Sinbad sailed the seven seas, but the real hero is little Poochie. Corrections and Omissions. Thank you Frosted Nebula for that amazing Corrections and Omissions. Thank you, Frosted Nebula, for that amazing corrections and omissions. Another brand new band. Could it be that we are now letting you submit just via the website?
Starting point is 00:05:13 I think this is great. I love it all. Let's go to the Discord. Mitch Cappa, aka Chunkstyle, writes, Like Jason, the Lou Ferrigno Hercules movie was big in my childhood. So I noticed immediately that there was a shot in this movie that was lifted straight from Hercules.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Ooh, drama. When the camera is down below him as he is swimming in the open water, we see that this film is lifted straight from Hercules. The dead giveaway is, when you look closely at Lou Ferrigno, he has a beard. Well, that is a pretty big shocking omission. Thank you, Mitch.
Starting point is 00:05:47 I did not notice that, probably was averting my eyes. I can't take a swimming scene. Danny of the Wall writes, the crew seemed fascinated with the wizard Nadir and his gibberish and wondered if they missed out on the connection to the Italian theater tradition of commedia dell'arte. Yes, the art goes back to the 1500s and Renaissance time
Starting point is 00:06:08 when Italian theater relied on stock characters, who we still recognize today. Speaking in gibberish is a key feature of Commedia dell'arte, which relies on pantomime and physical comedy. Nadir's actor was Leo Guletta, who seems to have had quite the career in Italian comedy and surely seems to be drawing quite the career in Italian comedy and surely seems to be drawing on these traditions.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Okay. Thanks, Danny. These comments are reminding me of why I was afraid of the Boise audience. All right, let's go to the phones. Hi, Paul. I'm just calling about the most recent episode, the Sinbad episode. You mentioned both Aladdin and the thief of Baghdad, which I thought was kind of funny because actually I'm pretty sure that Aladdin is inspired more by the
Starting point is 00:06:51 Thief of Baghdad than it ever is by the 1001 Nights version of Aladdin. The one thing the 1001 Nights version of Aladdin starts with, Aladdin was a young Chinese boy, so the Disney movie is much more inspired by the thesis of five dabs, things such as a character named Jafar, a character named Abu, things like that. So yeah, thought the connection was funny, thought I'd mention it. All right. I like it. I have nothing to add to it, but thank you for that correction. We're learning.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I mean, you know what? Sometimes these aren't always about technical gaffes, these are just about taking a moment to better ourselves. Yes, we watch bad movies, but we could also be learning. So now take that nameless person's information and do with it what you will. All right, next up on the phone, let's go. Hi, Paul, it's Katie from Seattle, but I think anyone listening to this
Starting point is 00:07:45 probably knows me better as Jafar from the Boise audience. I have a correction and an omission for you. My correction, a little while after I asked the agent's question, what 82? Audience member Mark asked about Nadir threatening to have Jafar's magician accreditation revoked, with you, Jason, and Jessica all asking, accreditation from who? Well, I think the answer is pretty
Starting point is 00:08:06 obvious. That has to be the function of the Baghdad fraternity. But that brings up even more questions. Because apparently, evil sorcerers are jumping through bureaucratic hoops and like paying dues to keep their accreditation active. That doesn't make much sense. As for the omission, I seriously can't believe we didn't talk about the horse coming out of the gravel pit and then getting choked out by Simbad a few minutes later. My note for that part said I'm glad June wasn't here because I'm pretty fucking sure they actually buried a horse in
Starting point is 00:08:35 gravel. Anyway, thanks again for a great time in Boise. I can't wait to hear the Seattle episode, and you know what? I'll see you guys in Vancouver. Take care, bye. Katie, killer question, but killer costumes. This person came dressed up at our shows, two of our shows on the road and now threatens, but I mean in a nice way, to be there once again. A reminder to everybody, please wear your costumes when you come out to the show. It makes it so much fun for us.
Starting point is 00:09:04 And you bet your ass they buried a horse in gravel, okay? No PETA in sight on these films at all. I do appreciate you breaking down some of the magician accreditation. I do wanna get more into that. That should be a spec script that I'm writing. I'm just part of like the magician. Like I'm like next to the Ministry of Magic. I'm doing a lot of like, oh, well I got it. I'm just part of the magician. I'm next to the ministry of magic.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I'm doing a lot of like, oh, well I gotta get this accreditation. Oh, well they got a summer, they did some summer credits. I love just the put upon accreditation of magic school. Again, I will be in the HBO Max spinoff, I bet. But then I'll get it and I'll feel really conflicted because I'm like, oh, JK, I can't really support her point of view
Starting point is 00:09:48 and then I have to make a statement about it but then I'm gonna feel really conflicted and the people in my life are like, what are you doing? I'm like, all right, I won't do it. I won't be the accredited magician character in the brand new Harry Potter series, even though I feel like it was a role built for me. Oh man, and I said no to Devil Wears Product 2 at this point.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I'm really just spiraling. Yeah, I will be playing the Meryl Streep character in Devil Wears Product 2. Anyway, what do we got next? Oh my gosh, Carrie, the librarian. Hey guys, it's Carrie, the librarian. I am calling regarding your question about volcanoes, lava, and magma.
Starting point is 00:10:26 So you were wondering if lava exists independent of volcanoes, and it does. It can come through cracks and fissures, both on land and underwater. The ones underwater are what cause tectonic plate shifting. The lava comes out and pushes the plates away from each other.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Pretty cool. Regarding magma, however, interestingly lava and magma have a very very minor definitional difference. They are both molten rock. However, a volcano has magma inside of it, but once it erupts out of it, it is spewing lava. Underground, magma. Overground, lava. Have a great day. That's the kind of knowledge that I need. It's like stalactites and stalagmites, which I don't actually remember now.
Starting point is 00:11:13 But I get this from Carrie. Carrie the Librarian, way to go. Just another reminder to get our great library shirt from this show. You just go and get it in our merch store. I love it, the Sucra and Pucci shirt, which is one of my favorite shirts that we have made on this entire tour.
Starting point is 00:11:29 All right, let's go back to the Discord. Nicky the Gnome, this is going to go beyond what this film is about, but Italian cinema is fascinating and there's so much gold for a show, like how did this get made? To mine from it. In the post-war period in Italy, wages grew by 50% during this period, only a few Italian households had TVs,
Starting point is 00:11:46 something like 20%, and that changed by the 80s, and that number jumped to 80%. So that's why there are so many films being produced. When you have a relatively young population with money to burn and only a few places to spend it for entertainment, they invariably head to the theaters, which were more ubiquitous.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Simbad, being filmed in 82, was chasing the second wave of Pepla films coming from America, namely Conan Clash of the Titans. It's coming out in the 80s. It must've just been bizarre since it was already out of vogue as a genre piece in the States. Well, look, again, Nicky the gnome, just dropping knowledge. We're learning, we're learning in this episode.
Starting point is 00:12:21 And that's not a bad thing. Put us in the educational podcast category for this last looks. Okay. The angriest Hikie writes, Paul asked if Sinbad existed in a post Old Testament world. Yes, the original 1001 nights, which we understand there's an issue with, were compiled during the Islamic golden age, though there are elements that go back to ancient Sanskrit fables. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Sometimes this is what happens and this is kind of the Boise effect on this show. Different than what we were expecting. Not bad. Different. Learned a lot. And you know what? Let's
Starting point is 00:13:02 just thank everybody for that and let's end our learning by Looking at some actors. They're gonna round it out here because Ryan says has been keeping some how did this get made stats? And he wants you to know Lou Freigna has been on the show three times Sharknado three Hercules and Sinbad of the seven seas Luigi cozy the director three appearances Hercules and Star Crash and Simbad. Well, there we go. Not that much. Not numbers really worth sharing, but why am I keeping it? I don't know, because now I'm on this page. I don't know. I'm not gonna say so many great corrections on missions this week. I mean, there was some interesting ones, but like, yeah, we could also have a little spin on it. I mean, I'm learning. I feel good. I
Starting point is 00:13:47 feel good about where I am, but maybe I don't feel that good. I don't know. I don't know where I'm at. I don't know where I'm at with this. Uh, with how I felt. You know what? I'm going to say this. Katie from Seattle, who came in costume, you're the winner because you brought up something that no one talked about that, yes, they buried a horse in gravel. And I haven't thought about that. And that made me think of it a little bit differently. So Katie from Seattle, you are our winner. John Astonish and Trey, give her what she deserves, which is a song. And that's it. Nothing more than this song. Hit it. Nothing more than this song. Hit it! You... How to Dis-Kick Me Win
Starting point is 00:14:26 How to Dis-Kick Me You... How to Dis-Kick Me Win How to Dis-Kick Me How to Dis-Kick Me You... How to Dis-Kick Me
Starting point is 00:14:34 Win How to Dis-Kick Me You... How to Dis-Kick Me Win Okay, as always, if you want to chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode, hit up the Discord at Discord.gg slash H-E-T-G-M or call us at 619-PA-UL-A-S-K. Coming up after the break, John Gabris will stop by to chat about summer movies. But first, let's take a listen to the bonus deleted scene.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Oh, this is a good one. From our Simbad of the Seven Seas episode, where we talk about Jessica's experience with Eddie Murphy and her butt rash. Yep, you heard me right. Take a listen to this deleted scene. Can I just tell one story about Eddie Murphy? Yeah, sure. Eddie Murphy has somebody who travels with him.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Okay, wait a second. Before you say this, we're cutting this out. Yeah, cut this out. You don't have to. I put it in a book. Okay. All right. I put it in the book, The Art of Small Talk.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Eddie Murphy has a man that travels with him, you know, Paul. Yes. That I call fake Eddie Murphy. He looks exactly like Eddie Murphy. And he does his, a lot of his press appearances. I call him, Eddie Murphy.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Okay. Eddie Murphy. But he looks exactly like Eddie Murphy. He, I was on the line to get food, and I was like, this is so cool. Eddie Murphy's getting like food with the rest of the cast. Nope. It was Eddie Murphy. I'm doing, I did a scene.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I think I'm with real Eddie Murphy. I looked to the shadows. There's fake, no, I'm with fake Eddie Murphy. I see the real Eddie Murphy peeking out, watching. He doesn't come on until time. Anyway. But can you tell the reveal of that story? When I was talking about my vagina and okay, so then So and I love that Paul knew it
Starting point is 00:16:12 I don't know. I read that up the vagina story and we're all grateful. Aren't we Boise? So so I get into the van to go back. Now Eddie Murphy has his own like double-decker trailer. He would not be in the van with you, but you know, I thought so. There's fake Eddie Murphy, I think, in the passenger seat, and I get a call from my gynecologist. I'd had a rash that had been resistant to several creams.
Starting point is 00:16:43 And I was awaiting the results of what kind of microbe was growing in between my ass cheeks. So she's delivering me the information. Is this in the book? Yes. Is this part of the book? Yes, yes, this is the truth of life. So I go, well, it's good to know what's in my asshole,
Starting point is 00:17:00 but is that cream gonna work? Well, we get out. So you took the call. You took the call in the van? I took the of other people I wasn't gonna get the doctor again for another couple days call in a packed van about your ass rash things were so bad anyway we get out of the car and then we get on to set and I realized it was real Eddie Murphy the whole time in that car And he heard you talk about the ass rash that Luke Friggo gave you I wish All right, get back to the movie
Starting point is 00:17:30 But that's wait until Eddie Murphy's on this show and he tells the same story from the other side And then we're like we know her I Like is she okay I Will say this I like is she okay I will say that you wear your yoga pants too long that's it really a cautionary you should that shit that's an easy that's an easy one you should be able to avoid you know I know now I know anyway moving on boys II that's just Eddie Murphy story for you okay all. All right. So can I say one thing? Say whatever you like. Oh please. Can I say one thing? You're the one talking. You're asking yourself if you can say one thing because you've only interrupted yourself. But by the time we get to Portland, Paul and I won't
Starting point is 00:18:20 even be on stage. It's good. It's just St. Clair for four hours. Like a one-woman show at the Lanes Trich. Just showing videos of her ass rash. And selling yoga pants in the lobby. Heavily used. Heavily used yoga pants. That's a fetish. How to Discovac- How to Discovac- Welcome back. By now I'm sure you've noticed that every week Yoga pants. That's a fetish. Welcome back. By now, I'm sure you've noticed that every week
Starting point is 00:18:49 we re-release old How Did This Get Made episodes back into our feed. These matinee episodes come out every Tuesday. This week's matinee was Hercules in New York with Abbey Jacobson. Next week's will be a John Claude Van Damme classic, Bloodsport with Nicole Byer. So keep on checking out all of our replays every Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:19:06 And without any further ado, let's talk to our friend, our good buddy, John Gabers, who recently joined me on Unspooled with the Action Boys to talk about John Wick 4. Suffice to say, they do not like it. It's a fun episode. If you've not listened to Unspooled in a while, check that out.
Starting point is 00:19:23 But he is here talking about his brand new podcast, Stayin' Alive with Adam Pally, which is a new must subscribe, must listen, must follow. But, Gabris, a legend, high and mighty, amazing show. Gino Lombardo, fantastic. We've worked together for many years, and there's one thing that Gabris and I love, summer movies, and we're gonna talk about all of that.
Starting point is 00:19:44 And I've seen a couple of ones that John didn't know I saw and that I'm revealing for the very first time here. So enjoy it. Jason and Paul, Just Chat. June and Paul, Just Chat. Tall John Sheer, Just Chat. How did this get made? Last look, Just Chat.
Starting point is 00:20:00 John, last time we saw you, you were eating a live spider on stage at Largo during the TORQ episode. Oh my gosh, yeah, I forgot. A spider dropped down from the ceiling and June and I made eye contact that we both saw it. And for some reason, my impetus was to stand up and bite it out of the sky, hands free. It was very much like an 80s movie moment. Like I felt like, it was like, oh man, this guy eats live spiders.
Starting point is 00:20:29 It was probably the most exciting thing that happened. I tell people all the time. Watching TORC, it's certainly more exciting than watching TORC. I was telling people all the time, I'm like, you don't have to take out your phones during live shows, nothing is gonna happen. But then I forget that that did happen.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Something can happen. is gonna happen, but then I forget that that did happen. Something can happen. You and I just spent a long time last week talking about John Wick 4 on Unspooled, which is the podcast we don't talk about on how did this get made, but it just gave me a greater appreciation of all the things that I love about Action Boys, which is one,
Starting point is 00:21:03 you have a podcast empire, and one of your podcasts. Hey, I learned from the best. I learned from my fellow 131 Long Islanders. I'm just jumping in the, you know, standing on the shoulders of, well, they're not giants, they're smaller than me, but they're there. Paul Scheer. It's such a blast to hear you guys talk. I was putting a piece of Action Boys into the unspooled newsletter of you guys breaking down Clubber Lang's apartment from Rocky, because you mentioned it, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:21:34 I gotta find that, and it was just Clubber Lang dealing with bad roommates, trying to bring a woman over there to have sex with. It's one of the best parts of the action boys, just the tangents and stuff. Yeah, and it's always fun to talk to you about movies and then John Wick 4, and in classic movie head fashion, we talk about it on your podcast,
Starting point is 00:21:55 the one that Voldemort won't be named, but we then text about it after, and text about it. Yeah. It's just not enough, the two hours that you edit out, you have to edit and get taken care of it's still not enough we still have to text like wait I just saw this new Tom Cruise clip or John Wick talking about blah blah blah literally was gonna send you all like I wanted to get you all in text messages like we've just talked about this for two hours but it's always a blast and I gotta gotta tell you, your new podcast,
Starting point is 00:22:26 Staying Alive, has been, I just love it. It's in my rotation now, it's you and Pally talking to people. Hell yeah, and one of our most recent episodes is the wonderful Paul Scheer is a guest, which is true. I love that guy. I'm a big fan. But no, it's such a fun podcast.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Let people know what it's about, instead of me pitching it, but. It's a health and wellness podcast hosted by the physically unhealthy and the mentally unwell of me and Adam Pally. Two guys who are on a journey to try to live longer and undo some damage we've done in the past. And we thought what better way than to monetize it
Starting point is 00:23:00 by talking to both health and fitness experts. Another thing that people don't talk about is, once you're in your like mid 30s, all of your conversations, even with comedians is about like, Oh yeah, I'm doing a Thai bow at home or like, Oh, do you not do hot yoga? Oh shit. I, I, I hike three times because we just eventually get into this, like I'm an Asahi bowl guy now, you know, like everyone gets into these things. So we realized it's like, we should have these conversations with all of our friends who are smart, interesting, funny people
Starting point is 00:23:29 who are also pursuing health and wellness because we're all growing up. We haven't had any young people on the pod on purpose. I think it's interesting because you're always struggling to figure out what can you do. There's this whole idea of biohacking, the guy who's aging at one third the rate of everybody else.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And it gets mentally overwhelming because I'll do that, I'll sleep in cold sheets, I'll go over here. And I think the thing that I love about your show is it's not like prescriptive, like you're not trying to be gurus, you're just talking about things. And hopefully at the end of it with a mix of people like,
Starting point is 00:24:03 what was that guy that you had on, like is it Dr. Radowitz or something? Oh, Dr. Radowitz, yeah, the ketamine therapist, yeah. Like, yeah, we're not saying like, you should do this therapy, but we are learning more about it. And me and Adam left wanting to do that therapy. I mean, probably just wanting to do ketamine,
Starting point is 00:24:20 but yeah, the therapy hits. Why not? Yeah, throw that on top, why not? But I mean, you are talking to, like yeah, I think that's the fun of the show, is like you're talking to like, you know, somebody who works for the NIH. Yeah, is an NIH immunologist.
Starting point is 00:24:33 And she was, we ended up talking to her for way too long about Omakase. Like that's how stupid our show is. Well, I am a fan and produced by a former, how did this get made producer, Devin Bryant. Yes, we got Devin and that's why our theme song rips so hard, yeah. One of the greats, made many
Starting point is 00:24:53 How Did This Get Made theme song as well. It's summer and I'm excited about these movies that are coming out. Bro, me too. It feels like we turned a corner after the last couple of months. I know, I know. And I was talking about this, I don't know if you and I talked about this yet, but I got to see Naked Gun, which comes out in August. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:25:12 I saw a sneak peek of it. It's great. It's really funny. I trust the people who made it, their butts, and it's like, it seems fun. The trailer that's playing before, I saw it on IMAX, the trailer on IMAX before Final Reckoning, and the crowd went ape shit for it. It really captures to me the jokey style of Naked Gun, which I haven't seen in a movie in such a long time. Right. And then it also has not those style jokes as well. It kind of balances both, but it feels like a true sequel,
Starting point is 00:25:43 which I think is the hardest thing to do. Yeah, I'm so intrigued. I can't fucking wait to see it. Yeah, I think you're gonna really, you're really like it. And I went in there knowing I like all the people involved, but I laughed like genuinely hard laughs throughout. So that's coming out August 1st.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I'm excited about that. I'm excited about that. Have you seen, speaking of hard laughs in the theater, have you seen Friendship? This is the movie that I've been dying to see. And I can't, I am a father of two and I'm currently single parenting because my wife is away shooting the Elle Woods.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Prequel or Poquel. Yeah. Yes. And so I wanna go see it if I want to see it at night when there'll be a theater. I don't want to see during the day. I've had a few moments where I oh, should I go see it? I can go see an action movie during the day. It would be fine. It's fun.
Starting point is 00:26:34 But I want to see that with like people around me laughing. I've only heard it's like the best way to be seen. It's such a funny fucking movie. Tim, people are so primed to laugh at Tim, which is because he's a brilliant genius. But but I think you should leave his pierced pop culture so hard that people are showing up that the first time we see his face on camera in the movie, the whole theater I was in started laughing like they were just so fucking excited. I went on like a random Tuesday night at like nine o'clock and it was full. Oh great. At Century City and dude the movie is funny.
Starting point is 00:27:08 It carries. Connor O'Malley is great in it. Tim is amazing in it. Kate Mara is great in it. It's a real treat. It's beautiful and the score is awesome too. Like Andrew DeYoung, I don't know Andy DeYoung. I don't know him but he's like in the comedy world.
Starting point is 00:27:24 It's fucking gorgeous. Like it's crazy. Comedies don't know Andy Dayoung. I don't know him, but he's like in the comedy world. It's fucking gorgeous. Like it's crazy. Comedies don't look like that. And then it's so joke heavy and character based jokes on like Tim's interesting character, Craig. It's so fucking good. I'm so excited that somebody was telling me this story and I'm gonna maybe mess up the anecdote,
Starting point is 00:27:42 but it was basically like that score is from an album called like Cocktail Music, and it was a Japanese album. It was like, it was four people in Japan to put on when they had cocktail parties. Like that, is that something? Yeah. I think the anecdote, and maybe we both heard this from Ben Rogers, cause this is who I heard it from.
Starting point is 00:28:01 It is, yeah, that's who I heard it from, yes. Like whatever the artist's name is, it's like Yoshimori. This makes me sound racist trying to guess it, so I'm not gonna do that, but it's given as a housewarming gift traditionally in Japan, the album. And I've been listening to the artists like non-stop and it's very like ambient Japanese kind of electro pop and it's really great. And that's the chunks of that is used from the score, according to Rogers, I'm quoting him. Yeah, I mean, we're quoting,
Starting point is 00:28:25 we're both quoting the same source. We're all like, and both of us have different interpretations and we don't even know if he's right. But you know what? All I know is that Ben bought that album after. Now, I will say there's so much good stuff coming up over the, my friend is a producer and he made How to Train Your Dragon.
Starting point is 00:28:44 And I saw an early cut of it before the effects were done and I gotta say that also was very very good. I'm excited for that I like the first one I like the animated one my only complaint and you can take this out depending on how your friend feels about it is I if you're calling it live-action, give me a puppet toothless. I'm sorry Like I don't I hear what you're saying Like I say go fully and like it maybe it doesn't look as great as you think it does But I think if you're calling it live-action That's my whole complaint with all the Disney live-action where it's like if you have a digital lion It just looks more realistic than the Mufasa drawing that doesn't count as live- action. You know, that's my only issue, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:25 No, you know, I have that same issue. I think that you could never ride the dragon no matter what. Like, unless you're doing it... I mean, we're talking fucking fishing lines, models. We can figure it out. I was gonna say, you're gonna do it like Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind like that, what's his name? I don't know, what's...
Starting point is 00:29:42 Michelle Gondry. If you do it the Gondry way, like, I would like to see the Gondry version of how to train your dragon I think It would be kind of cool. Like you have a yeah, you could do all puppetry. It'd be great But I will say that seeing it regular draw butlers in it. I mean, I fucking love Gerard You know how much I love Gerard Butler. I know how much you do and I'm so fucking excited What else is jumping out to you? I'll say that- Fire and ash, of course. Yes. I'm not even sure.
Starting point is 00:30:06 That might not even be till like the winter. I'm not even sure when it comes out. But it's, yeah, I don't know what exact the release date is, but that's the next thing I'm super hyped about. It looks like it's not till December. It's our Christmas movie. But you know, we can get excited for Christmas as well. I'll tell you that the things that are like on my radar, F1, I have no interest in that style of racing,
Starting point is 00:30:26 but that trailer was sold, I'm in. It's funny that you haven't gotten caught up in Formula One just based on how polymathic your tastes are, and how many of our friends are really into Formula One. So many mutuals are so into it. Not at all, but I am very into Brad Pitt. So I, and what's the guy's name who directed Top Gun? Or Matt?
Starting point is 00:30:46 Oh yeah, it's Kaminsky. It's Kaminsky. Yeah. He's Joseph Kaminsky, it's so good. I like his style, I love Brad Pitt, so I'll be hyped for F1 for sure. By the way, did you see Thunderbolts? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:30:59 I thought that was really good. I thought it was, it was A, better than I thought it was gonna be. Yes. And it, not that we're supposed to be comparing these movies, but so much better than the Harrison Ford President Holt movie. That one I went to going not expecting much
Starting point is 00:31:15 and it landed around there. I thought Mackie did an okay job. He wasn't, like his acting wasn't the problem. I just didn't care about the story or anything like that. Yeah, it felt like weirdly rushed. like weird Thunderbolts. I was yeah I felt weirdly rushed the all the Giancarlo Esposito stuff felt like it was shot like on an iPhone on an which was the case Like he was not in the movie until the reshoots like and it's like oh, yeah, that makes sense There's a great moment where he's like he's like, let me go talk to him alone
Starting point is 00:31:43 He's a bad guy, oh, okay, I guess, because we can't get everyone back for reshoots. But I really enjoyed Thunderbolts. I thought that all those characters were really fun. I liked the idea that none of them could fly or had really interesting powers, you know what I mean? It made it for a fun, and it's true, you kind of run out of, how do we end these in the third act?
Starting point is 00:32:04 And I think like Making it like a weird emotional escape room kind of like it I don't know if it's my favorite ending but it it's just made it feel different than everything else we've been watching for a couple what it felt like to me was the way a comic book might be because it's a very like Like it's a it's a little heavy. Yeah. Yeah. You could, you could see like the panels going like, meanwhile, and it's like Red Guardian dealing with his nightmare world or whatever. I just love that someone said, yeah, yeah, yeah, we can have
Starting point is 00:32:34 this take place in a emotional escape room in your mind. It's like, great, great. And it's like, and it was, and it got to the point of what you want, which is, I think, honestly, like, just connections among these people, it's like and it was and it got to the point of what you want Which is I think honestly like just connections among these people It's not like just beating the shit out of an alien like you know it's like which we know and Florence pew I'm not saying anything no one doesn't know she's a fucking movie. I she is so hot. She's so talented She's funny. She moves well in the action sequences. It is just like, I'm not saying anything, but she's something special. Like that's not new, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:09 I can't get over it. I can't get over it, I'm excited about it. I was like- I didn't like Black Widow at all, and I thought her and Harbor were so good in Thunderbolts. I thought they got a second chance to do something. And also talking about who wasn't that brave new world, when they brought back Bucky
Starting point is 00:33:25 I was like, oh what a bummer of a cameo that he has and then in this I'm like, this is what this is it He's great in this. Yeah, he's great in this. It's such a fuck like it the cast is fucking awesome Pullman's son is yeah, whatever. Yeah as century now Superman is the one that I feel like is the biggest question mark for me, because I've seen a lot of trailers with a dog, and I'm like, that doesn't seem like it's what I wanna see.
Starting point is 00:33:55 I have a lot of faith in James Gunn. James Gunn taking a little bit of flack recently because I guess they found some Facebook posts where he was shitting on Nolan Batman movies, saying these are not good Batman movies. So he definitely has an uphill battle. He's gotta save this entire, like the DC universe on the back of Superman.
Starting point is 00:34:13 I know, but I will say I liked Peacemaker. I liked his Suicide Squad. I think he's got a track record that works. I will say this. I will be glad that the weekend that Superman's coming out, I will be glad that the weekend that Superman's coming out, I will be there opening weekend and I will be happy to see a big movie that isn't Star Wars or Marvel.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Now I know it's also a comic book movie, but just the fact that it just feels like I'm watching at least like the first one of that, you know what I mean? So I'm looking very forward to sitting down. And just even in the trailer, seeing the Fortress of Solitude, snow stuff, I feel like this already just looks different than other stuff. I'm so stoked to go check that out for sure.
Starting point is 00:34:52 I'm always a fan of his stuff, and I think I'm better being a fan when I'm like, I don't know what to expect of it. I feel like that's how I feel about every one of his films. I'm like, all right, we'll see. Guardians of the Galaxy 3, I was like, oh, whoa, okay, this is different than I thought. And same thing for Peacemaker.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Like I've liked everything, but I always go in going, I don't know, I don't know. And I think that's a good way to go in instead of expectation, super high, know what's gonna be the best. And I'm like, because he kind of hits you from the side and I feel like he's gotta, for this movie, deliver trailers and a tone
Starting point is 00:35:24 that does not show you much of anything. It's almost like, come on in, trust me, by the end of the meal, you're gonna leave feeling like that was a great meal, but I can't tell you too much of what we're serving before you're sitting down and ordering. I kinda like to just show up hungry and go, I'm gonna be happy with whatever I get,
Starting point is 00:35:42 but I'm excited to be surprised. Yes, I feel that way. I'm more, like, I love the John Wick movies, but I'm more excited for Superman than I am for Ballerina. Ballerina. You know what I mean? Just because Ballerina seems like more of the same, and not in a bad way. Give me more of my favorite food, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:36:00 But Superman just looks like it's gonna be something a little different. I'm curious about Ballerina. I'm coming into Ballerina with an expectation that may be fake. First of all, I realized for a very long time I was thinking that this is a continuation of a character that was introduced in John Wick, and I realized, no, that is her character in James Bond
Starting point is 00:36:20 that I'm thinking of. Right, and she's awesome. Great, and I was very excited about that, and I was like, oh, OK, so this is something different. And then knowing it's a ballerina, I'm thinking about Scarlett Johansson and her whole kind of like in that society of like, you know? And I'm like, so I am, look, those guys
Starting point is 00:36:38 make great action movies. I think that we know that she can do great action. I just don't, I have not yet felt the need to go see it. Besides, I guess, maybe felt the need to go see it besides I guess maybe seeing a little bit more of John Wick and Lance Reddick who is back in this because he shot it before. Back from the dead.
Starting point is 00:36:55 And then I'm like, well, this is crazy. They shot this before John Wick 4 or like, or. That seems crazy. Or at least it takes place before. Well, I mean, but John, but like Lance Reddick shot his scenes at the same time he was shooting John Wick 4 or like or that seems crazy or at least it takes place before I mean But John but like Lance Reddick shot his scenes at the same time He was shooting John Wick 4 and John Wick 4 feels old came out a year. Yeah a year and a half ago easily So I'm interested. What about Fantastic Four again question mark. I'm I don't know I give it the same thing I give Superman. I appreciate that. It looks different
Starting point is 00:37:23 I have less confidence in this than I do in Superman, but I will be seated because I love cousin even Yes, I think he's so good in everything and Like Pedro Pascal obviously and Vanessa Kirby Vanessa Kirby. I love I love her I was talking about Vanessa Kirby. I think one of the most underrated performances, and you're never gonna give it an award, but in Mission Impossible 7, when they're on the train and she is in the mask.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Acting as Grace. I'm like, this is truly, like one of those times where I'm like, oh, that's Haley Atwell being, it worked. You believe the mask stuff. Yes. where I'm like, oh, that's Haley Atwell being, it worked. You believe the mask stuff. Yes. So I'm excited about Fantastic Four. I like the fact that it looks a little different.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Yes. And this is, here's another movie that I'm like, we'll wait and see. Happy Gilmore 2. I'm just really curious. I want it to be great. I trust New It Check so much. I love Sandler's straight to Netflix stuff
Starting point is 00:38:24 isn't going straight to Netflix because it's not funny like his other shit No, it's the only thing that yeah, love the wrong missy It's like I don't care about comedy sequels But but Sandler has a higher hit rate than almost anyone else that in the comedy world that I would my kids are So pumped about it. That's good. That's cool. Yeah. I went to a taping of one of Sandler's, the last Netflix special. And I was up in the green room and I was talking to Tim Hurley, who wrote it. And he got me excited for it. Like I was like, Oh, okay. Like it doesn't feel like they have to make this movie in any way. Right. There's like, it's not a desperation attempt.
Starting point is 00:39:04 I feel like there's something real there. It's not a cash in. We know Sandler doesn't feel like they have to make this movie in any way, right? It's not a desperation attempt. I feel like there's something real there. It's not a cash in. We know Sandler doesn't need a random paycheck. It's like there's no desperation there. This is what I will say that I heard that I think is a good sign. Someone saw a test of it that was over two hours and they were like, it's really funny and it's really good.
Starting point is 00:39:25 The hardest thing is gonna be what do they keep in and what do they take out? So if you're watching Happy. I like that inside scoop. Yes, if you're watching Happy Gilmore at two and a half hours and feeling like, oh, it's really good. It's like, I wonder what it will be
Starting point is 00:39:38 cause it will never be, it will be a 90 minute movie. Like. Yeah, yeah. It'll be a hundred minutes on Netflix. Yeah, like that to me makes me go good. You get worried, because we've both been to screenings and tests and you hear stuff like, ah, they're gonna find it. You get caught up in the house too.
Starting point is 00:39:56 You see a premiere of a movie and everyone who's worked on it is there, and it's electric and you're a little buzzed and you're like, and then when you recommend it to friends, you're like, okay, yeah, I saw it in the best way you could possibly see it. Well, this is the thing that bums me out about Happy Gilmore 2, which is like, I'm not gonna get to see this in a theater.
Starting point is 00:40:12 All I wanna do is see this movie in a theater. It's almost like we should be coordinating with a friend who's got like a big movie situation in their house. Yes. And we should all go over and watch it. Like 20 of us should watch it at someone's house. I feel like, because it's like, that's the best part of those movies. It's like, here's me just trying to get invited to your house. I'm like, yeah, one of us should throw a party.
Starting point is 00:40:32 One of us. All I want is to have a theater like that. Like, June and I were like, I'm like, it would be the best thing. We have one friend who has it and he's always out of town. I'm like, can I tell you the movie that I think is gonna blow your mind? This is the one, I saw this one, so I can speak to it confidently, Weapons. Oh, bro, I'm very excited about Weapons. I'm very excited about Weapons.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Weapons, Zack Craigers, follow-up to Barbarian. I will not say a word about it. Please don't, I don't even wanna know a thing about it. I went into Barbarian not even seeing the trailer and it was such an amazing, I haven't even seen the trailer for Weapons yet. I'm trying to avoid, I'll catch it by accident on some point in the theater,
Starting point is 00:41:14 but I'm trying so hard to know nothing about the movie. I will say nothing about it, but to say bravo. It was a movie that also like Jude and I talked about like for days after. Like it was just like one of those. So again, I knew nothing. I was surprised at every little bit of it. I'm psyched for him.
Starting point is 00:41:36 I'm psyched for him and I'm psyched. Like I think it's just announced that he's doing Resident Evil now. Like, right? He's like, yeah, that's like his next films. I'm like, oh, whoa. Like he's putting it together in, right? That's like his next films. I'm like, oh, whoa, he's putting it together in a really, really cool way.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Yeah, I'm really hyped for that, for Weapons. It looks really exciting. That makes me very, like, Zach, I can't believe a guy from The White-est Kid You Know is who I'm most excited about in the auteurship filmmaking world, yeah. When you look at him and Jordan going, these are guys that were doing sketch comedy
Starting point is 00:42:14 less than five years ago. And they were so good at that that you couldn't even imagine that they flipped to becoming these kind of guys. I know. It's crazy. Yeah, so I won't say any more, but I will say that that's coming out in August and I, yeah, that's my little sneak peek of it is very, very good.
Starting point is 00:42:33 I'm stoked for the highest to lowest. What's that? Just rattling up. That's the new Spike Lee that Denzel's in. Oh, yeah. It's like a remake of a movie. I don't know any details, but Spike and Denzel working together has just got me excited. And people are saying it's good. People are gonna like it. I mean, look, I will always go see a Spike Lee movie. And I feel like I like them more when they are like little genre-y.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Like I feel like you can really nail genre. I think people don't think about Spike Lee like that, but you know, like the Inside Man, I always like it's one of the best. That's one of my favorite spikes for sure. What do you think about Fast 10 Part 2? Are we ever gonna get Fast 10 Part 2? Because we just saw Mission Impossible,
Starting point is 00:43:15 the final reckoning has come out, and that was a Part 2, but not really a Part 2. It was kind of build, I mean, the narrative around that movie has changed a little bit. Like it was gonna be one and two, now Fast 10 part two, I am losing faith that this is ever gonna happen. I'm losing a little faith in it too, but you know Vin won't let it drop.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Right. You know what I mean? Like Vin is a businessman. Right. He is posting like crazy about it and like pictures of him and Helen Mirren, pictures of him and old cast members saying that the script is where it's at,
Starting point is 00:43:50 this, that, the other thing. Yeah, see, like his Instagram is all this kind of shit. And like he's making it seem like the movie's made already. We know it's not even like written. No. But we know that he's like, it's locked in and we know it's not even like written No, and but we but we know that he's like it's locked in we got it and I talked about this with fellow fast head Griffin Newman at length But at the Emmys was it or the Oscars when he's like hey doing yeah, and and that is just
Starting point is 00:44:18 They're doing wrestling like kayfabe to each other That will at some point culminate in the rock making a deal for fast 10 part 2 and them doing some big like Well, brother, we decide it, you know and making it seem like they're gonna give the rock like the feeling that he got it greenlit they're gonna like it's it's the marketing that the The behind-the-scenes pseudo marketing is happening as we speak, I believe. What you need is for both guys to be low enough to have to agree to do it.
Starting point is 00:44:52 And we might be there if the Safdie movies with The Rock, if that Safdie movie with The Rock doesn't do what we hope it does for The Rock. Right, and even if it does, it's gonna be an indie. I'm not 100% confident in Dwayne Johnson. It's gonna be an indie, it's not gonna be the one that is gonna bring him back into like I think if anything It will be like uncut gems in the greatest success, which is a great thing But that uncut gems is not like a it's not like welcome to blockbuster Xandler can go in and out
Starting point is 00:45:17 But that's I don't think that that helps him ultimately Right, right It just gives him a little bit of like real acting cred and The Rock could use like a couple of doses of that in his resume. Cause he's, it's just been so fucking blockbuster, aiming for blockbusters and failing at times. It's just too much. But there's this weird thing where it's like,
Starting point is 00:45:34 you put this fucking cliffhanger in and everything I've been reading that Vin Diesel's been saying has been stuff like, oh man, we're going back to basics. We're going back to basics. It's back to California. I'm like, great, but you can're going back to basics. We're going back to basics. It's back to California. I'm like, great, but you can't go back to basics when you've ended the last one on a cliffhanger
Starting point is 00:45:51 of you driving down the side of a dam. Like everything about- That's blowing up, yeah, yeah. So crazy. Thinking about how that last one ended, like probably one of my least favorite of the franchise. Yeah. But it is also the back to basics thing.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Saying that now is a solid rebrand of huge budget cut. Oh, 100%. And this is- Back to basics is just like, look, Cena's not coming back, so and so's not coming back, so and so's not coming back, so and so's not coming back. It's gonna be us. Back to basics.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Me and, yeah, it's gonna be me. Tej and Roman. Yeah, and it's like, well, here's the thing that I worry about. I don't know if you ever picked up on this, but like there was a time when Bruce Willis would talk about Die Hard after like Die Hard 3. And I remember this quote. It was like Bruce Willis on the stoop with Kevin Smith
Starting point is 00:46:39 and Kevin Smith was interviewing him probably during the making of Cop Out or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And Bruce is like, you know what people never got was, you know, the reason why people love Die Hard is because the New Jersey sense of humor of John McClane. And I was like, oh, no, no, no. That's not why we like Die Hard. I don't like, I don't even associate McClane with New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:47:02 No. And that was like to me, a clarion call of like. I don't like I don't even associate McLean with new no and And that was like to me That's so funny like I always thought I assumed he was like a new Jersey I think that there's these moments where these actors sit with these characters for too long and they start to overanalyze their impact on film. It's like, yeah, the reason why people like Jaws
Starting point is 00:47:31 is because his cultural hatred of the 4th of July being a tourist, we're not celebrating independence. It's like, no, no, no. And it's like. We like the music and the fact that we don't see a shark for a while. Yeah. Like that's sorry, but that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:47:47 So I think that people get their heads up their own ass in these things and I think that we, like I hope, and this is why. For sure. You think, the idea of putting Fantastic Four in the 60s, that feels fun. It's like, all right, we're not worried about MCU shit. And that, I like that.
Starting point is 00:48:01 We're Superman, we're just kind of, we're not, we're just kind of jumping ahead. It feels like, it doesn't feel like we're starting in from scratch, which is great. We've already seen that story. It's like what I said was good about Make a Gun. It's like, give me the thing that I want, but just slightly, but inject some new stuff in there
Starting point is 00:48:16 that I didn't know I needed. It's like, we're trying so hard to reinvent the wheel. It's like, no, I want the wheel, just give me new- New rims, yeah. Yeah, new rims, yeah. Well, it is kind of like, give the audience what you want, but also as the creator, make what you want, too. See if there's that, find that middle ground.
Starting point is 00:48:31 You know what I mean? Well, and I think the problem is, is like they go, they're thinking too much. It's like, what is, what is my character? Like, what is, like, what is Tej? I'm like, we don't care. We don't care. We just want you to be the guys on the computer.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Just have him make fun of Roman once and just then like, and then hack into the fucking DOD. Yeah, we don't need the bigger backstory. Now, you know, we will see what we will get. All that to be said, before we get Fast 10 part two, we will get Kojak Vin Diesel as Kojak. Oh man, who loves you baby? That's a great, that's a great. And I just hope, I hope, I hope.
Starting point is 00:49:09 I'm into that, I'm into that a lot. All right, so John, we can find you on Action Boys podcast. We can find you on Staying Alive, wherever you get your podcasts. Anything you have, shows, anything else that we could? I would just throw out that I did 30 episodes of the Gino Lombardo show. Oh, this is great.
Starting point is 00:49:27 I love this, yeah, go ahead. And I'm selling it now as like a collectible cassette tape that's really a USB drive with all 30 tracks on it. Three seasons, each season has its own arc. Insane guests, including Anthony Scaramucci and like Sarah Sherman and a lot of fun people. Yes, I said Scaramucci. Yeah, it is wild. And it's also just a great, if you're a lot of fun people. Yes, I said Scaramucci. Yeah, it is wild.
Starting point is 00:49:46 And it's also just a great, if you're a collector of things. Yeah, I hired this great Long Island artist, Ian Cinco, to make me like a Jerky Boys inspired kind of, and he's a Long Island guy and it's got a lot of cool shit on it. You can get it for sale at gino.gabris.com. I'm getting back into physical media personally.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I just blew money at the Criterion sale. I'm just getting back into it, so I'm like, fuck it, I wanted to make something physical for people to buy too. I love it.
