Hello, and welcome to Kump.
Hello.
It is the last week of the year.
It seems very clear to me that the government's not going to release anything about this case.
this Epstein case that we don't already know.
They're holding it all in.
We're just going to get blacked out file after blacked out file.
They found a million more files in New York somewhere, probably in a sewer.
And they're going to spend a few weeks looking through those blacking them out.
So that's just what we're going to get.
So in light of that, I feel like maybe there's one thing we can get that we have been denied for years now,
which is an Epstein movie.
I don't know how we don't have an Epstein movie.
We had a Waco movie, like, before the thing even burned down.
There was a movie with a guy from Wings.
You remember Wings on NBC?
Yeah.
There was a Waco movie they made after the ATF raid.
There was two raids on Waco.
Oh, wow.
So before all the children burned, before all the carnage.
They greenlit a TV movie with the guy from Wings.
And he wasn't bad.
And they had a little title card at the end and said, you know, subsequently,
burned out you know
sorry we didn't include that in the movie
so I'm just saying why is there not
been a major motion picture
about this Jeffrey Epstein
case I think that
I think that we're owed that
maybe more
we're owed more but we're not going to get more
so I just want I would like to kind of
work with you lose the
maybe it's kind of pitch
you know about writing things
and pitching things
how you know whether we
that's not casting for
Yeah, let's talk casting.
We're here to make an Epstein film, and we get to the plot later.
We can get to the elevated stakes and the, you know, the hero's journey later.
We can map all that out.
Right.
Jeffrey.
All right, so who are we thinking of for Jeffrey Epstein?
Epstein is the hardest one.
He's the number.
He's the main muchado.
I think we have a couple of options.
you can go over the Tim Robbins
That's a good pick
Tim Robbins
He can you know
He's such a great man
You know he him and Susan Sarandon
His old wife
They just do all the good in the world
Right and there's an eerieness about him
There's a you know
It's like he I feel like he usually plays
You know a sort of a hero
Well in Mystic River he killed the girl
Oh okay right yeah
And I'm pretty sure in Shawshank Redemption
he also killed his wife.
I don't buy that.
I don't buy that he was innocent the whole time.
I'm not sure what the contrivance of Shorchang is.
I think it's all in his head.
And the reality is he brutally shot his wife.
And he would never actually like separated at the time.
I forget.
Is it supposed to be ambiguous at all?
Or is it just like,
or is it just supposed to be no he was falsely convicted?
I think he, I think most of the way through he claims he's innocent.
and everyone's like, yeah, everyone's in here.
And then later on, that guy who they shot
said he talked to a friend
again, the cellmate in a different prison.
And he, and he's like, oh, he admitted to the murder.
Why he admitted on some banker, remember?
And there seemed like a weird detail.
I feel like he made that up.
I feel like he shot his wife in cold blood.
I mean, he's a cold blood if you find her cheating?
I don't know.
They were separated, though, in my version of events.
Whatever.
He's a bad, he can play a bad guy.
Tim Robbins is a good pick.
I have an idea, too.
Yeah.
It's a little bit of a counterintuitive casting.
Sure.
But what about, what have Paul Rudd played?
Paul Rudd.
That's a, I mean, you're doing him a little bit of a favor, Jeffrey Epstein.
For sure.
Some people find him attractive.
Yeah.
I've seen women say, you know, ooh, what an attractive man when they see him.
And I thought it was really inappropriate.
and you're really underplaying the whole the scope of the child trafficking and whatnot.
But I digress.
Yeah.
But, you know, there's always ladies like that.
Yeah.
You want to talk about how much, how much they love the guy who heard a bunch of women.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't care what he did.
Well, wait a second and find out.
I don't care if he stole bread, wasn't it?
A little salt and pepper, Paul Rudd.
Yes.
Yeah, I feel like he would capture the kind of, um, the aspect of Epstein that was, you know, the party guy everybody liked.
Right.
Right.
Like, do you think he was a party guy?
He seemed like a weird, a slightly weirder party guy.
I don't think he was the guy.
I feel like the guy, whatever set he was in, you know, uh, party, you know, New York's social scene.
I don't, I mean, I get he, he would show up at events, but I always got the impression of him and Jelaine.
were like, oh, those two oddballs
who have a lot of money and, you know, they're connected
and a lot of dirt on me.
Yeah, right, right.
But, like, I didn't get the impression
that they were like, rock on tours.
They were like, oh, yeah, she's always
grabbing his feet on the plane.
That's weird.
I mean, look, no, I could be wrong.
I mean, they, you're right.
They do seem to be a lot of pictures
with Jeline with a big cans out,
you know, arms around some, you know,
with a male debutante.
Bill Clinton.
Trump, whatever.
Look, I don't personally think it's side-splitting
that, like, Epstein made a little cartoon
of a naked woman or naked girl, whatever, whatever it was.
Or Trump, oh, Trump was a woman.
No, Trump's the artist.
Okay.
Yeah. Don't forget that.
Oh.
Trump's the gym.
Who's the guy made Garfield?
You know, I completely mixed that out.
I thought it was something like Epstein drew for Trump or something.
You think he was like, he was hired by Trump's writing a comic book?
But, uh,
Either way.
Who did it, Paul Rudd?
No, Paul Rudd could do it.
I mean, does Paul Rudd ever play any kind of dark evil?
Not really.
He's so light.
But that's why he's due.
He's due for something like that.
I guess happy to see that a little bit of darkness of him, but not much.
What about a Ben Stiller?
Now, that's good.
I feel like Ben Stiller could be a little creepy, could be a little, you know,
or just getting older
kind of weird
He can play a rageful basket case
Right and kind of like a
A slightly like
Because Epstein's not like a great looking guy
He's a good guy, he's not an ugly guy per se
But he's got like in the same way
Ben Stiller's not like a you know
I guess Ben Still was probably more traditionally attractive
Maybe
But I'd say they have a similar kind of vibe
Like a strange head
Right
You know
Uh
rectangular head rectangular head um i hope i hope it's only have in common who would know right i don't hang out in holly weird um one more he's done something like this i feel like he wasted his chance on the guy no one cared about this guy i'm going to mention beloved guy uh he could probably anchor i don't know what we want him because maybe he brings too much like you know like you know the traditional logic would say you want some
someone that the audience can, you know, root for even though he's evil.
I don't know if we want that in this case.
Right.
Perhaps why they haven't made the movie yet.
Steve Carell.
Steve Carell.
He did Foxcatcher at No, DuPont, Jim DuPont or whatever guy's name was.
Very good movie, but no, who's hell knew?
Like, you know, it's a weird case.
He played it very creepy.
He could just take that same makeup job, just having to be Epstein.
Right.
Doesn't matter.
Like, honestly, I would take Carrell on a heartbeat.
Yeah, I think he would add a lot of.
humanity to it.
Do we want that?
I don't know.
I feel like, I feel like, I mean, there's humanity to, I mean, there's been,
humanity has been injected into worse people, arguably, in the movies.
Sure.
Like, like, who?
I mean, I mean, Hitler in downfall has some humanity.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, look, well, he was a human being.
If what you mean is that he had a dog.
Yeah, no, I'm not looking, I'm not looking to make a movie where Jeffrey Epstein is
literally like, you know,
dressed like Satan and he's got a little
pitchfork. No, I think
action speak for them. I think, you know, you can have
a dog and still be evil. Right.
That's, you know, I mean, people who get
to this whole, I've heard
that, well, they humanize him.
Humanize him because he, you know,
he showed he used a bathroom.
He had digestive problems. Oh, what a,
what a great man. I don't understand people.
Like, what you, who do you think
does things? Animals?
Weird aliens? We're all,
humans. Everyone evil in history
has been human. That's true. What he would talk
humanize them? We're all human.
Humans do terrible
things.
Well, yeah, that's true. It is all
human beings to do evil things.
For some reason, we're dumb and we
can't. It's hard for us
to relate that.
It's hard for us to, it's hard for us to admit
to ourselves that
that everyone in our government abuses
children. Every single person.
It's hard for us to
that. Every single person who's
ever had power in this entire world
is a PDF
file.
What about
the victims? Who should play the victims?
I have an idea for that.
I think, but first we should get
a very good idea for that.
Okay. But first we should get to
the
the body to with Clyde.
Oh, yes, of course.
the the the jiggith who is what that makes sense no i know the jaysie anymore uh the jane
who should play jane maxwell i think we're looking at we need we need someone fiery i i
who's the one oh i know who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one play tar oh oh uh that's
i always forget i always just there's three of them oh kate lanchette knock out of the park perfect
give her the part or
Tilda Swinton
Tilda Swinton is a little
weird
She could do it
I would take it
You need someone who's kind of like
attractive but kind of an odd ball
Yeah Jolene wasn't a bad woman
You know those shots
You know it's like it's
Little androgynous
I would call her antrogynous
What
Jeline?
Ever so slightly androgynous
I don't think she didn't try
I mean yeah I'm not saying she's a
She's the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model
But you know
She was an attractive
of enough woman.
Maybe I'm confusing and drudeness with just...
You think she's not binary?
You think she's the they, them?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, she sleeps upside down like a bat.
Who does?
Jislane.
Delane sleeps upside.
I never heard this.
She sleeps like a bat?
Yeah.
Where you've heard this?
She was rumored to sleep upside down like a bat.
I didn't know that.
For her complexion.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that changes things, I guess.
I guess it's supposed to resist
gravity or something? Do we, do we factor
in some kind of plot point where she
talks to bats?
Where she plays with bats.
That is supernatural element.
Maybe the bats factor into the
abuse, I don't know.
You know? Right.
Maybe she uses, you know, bats to communicate in prison.
Maybe this whole thing's told through flashbacks
of Jolene in prison.
And she's like bats all around.
She's like, oh, my bat friends, hello.
You believe, you believe that I'm innocent.
and they go, meh-h-no.
Oh, my pardon's going terribly.
I do think the island should have some kind of supernatural element.
The island, look, I don't want to make anyone feel like a certain way about anything,
but the island should have a castle, like a dark castle on it.
They go, oh, it's kind of, you're disgracing people.
I don't think I am.
I think it's fine to change facts.
I mean, I'm telling, I'm telling the story.
of Jeffrey Epstein, whether or not, you know, like, you know,
and whether or not I have to lie a little bit to get, you know,
visually to put you in the scene,
wait, you want to just be like, you know,
what, like a bunch of tents and a villa?
You're like, you're like Nolan.
I'm like, I'm like, you're trying to create a myth.
Oh, you're not just trying to be accurate.
You're trying to create a new American myth.
Right.
I'm trying to make tenant too.
I want to be time travel involved.
I want to have time to.
whether it's dream time or it's or maybe maybe it's a thing where when you abuse someone
they perceive time differently and you can use because you could use them to time travel
well that's a little bit true right like isn't that what it's supposed isn't that YMK ultra molested kids
or something well I think that that was more to create Manchurian Canada type things I think
called like personality alters where you're like where you'd be like I guess the end
it's not because time slows down from your perspective and you get superpowers no I think
the idea that they claim is that
we, well, the idea, that we
abuse the kids to
create a situation, like, where they have a
separate personality, that we could trigger,
I guess, by abusing them again.
And then, like, and then they can go shoot,
you know, some, some dictator.
Yeah. Or some guy, some labor,
some labor leader, whatever,
you know. I do think
that that no one actually believed that would work, and it was just
an excuse to abuse kids at work. Right.
Yeah.
Or it was like
It was really the acid
Making them do that
But it's like
You know
They were just taking the acid
They were supposed to be dosing people with
And that's why they're pedophiles
Maybe
I was saying the acid is what actually made someone
Under your control
But it was just like
At that at that point
They're a perfect
Molestation victim
Well sure
Because their brain is broken by acid
Right
Yeah I don't know
I mean look
It sounds crazy
There were guys like
sir-hand, sir-hand seems like a weird guy.
His whole situation seems very weird.
Maybe some other ones.
There's probably some other ones, too.
Where, like, I'm not saying he was part of this abuse thing.
Maybe they just drugged them.
Maybe whatever.
I don't know how anything works.
It just seems like some people seem to be real-life mentoring candidates, for lack of a better
return.
Right.
And that's fine.
That's not fine.
It's horrible, but in my in the movie, I feel like time travel could be a night
It'll capture the imagination a little more
No, it's good, you know, it's like people gonna like what is this a reboot of Meriturian Canada?
No, that was a movie. We're talking about a real
You know, we get into that whole situation and we call you hold this
Uh, account, you know, compare against that film. Just make it time travel. It's our that's our they're doing like a time
Heist maybe like an Avengers. I like that. Yeah, it's still I mean, they're still abusing kids
You can still, like, it's, no one's trying to hide what they're doing.
We're just changing the motives around a little bit.
It's Hollywood.
Hollywood still exists for now, right?
Yeah.
It's going away.
But, you know.
I'd say so.
But we, you know, these are the rules of Hollywood lives by.
You don't make it 100% accurate.
You can just watch the news if you want that.
You know, this guy probably taped everything he ever did in his life.
Go watch his blackmail tapes if you want to see what really happened.
kidding they won't show them to you
blacked out
so we have we have Ben Stiller
Ben Stiller or Steve Correll
or Steve Correll and Cape Blanchett
Cape Blanchett and
Playing the evil couple
And then we have
Maybe Philipsymore Hoffman's kid
Is just that hanging around
As an extra guy
I like the idea of him being involved
I mean I'd love to have the real
Philip Schumer Hoffman
But he's you know passed away
Unfortunately
and I don't like nepotism, but I mean, I just kind of want, like a Phil C.
Seymour-Hoffman-type guy hanging around.
I kind of like the idea of his son might actually make a good Matt Greaning.
Oh, the Simpsons creator.
Wasn't he on the plane at one point?
Look, he was.
Who knows what he did?
But yeah, why not?
Look, I love The Simpsons.
I don't want his crimes, whatever they may be, to be some huge part of this.
but I think it's good to acknowledge
the cultural range
If I was on that plane
And I didn't do anything
I would be like
That's all I would talk about
By the way you know I was on that
I was on that plane
I didn't I didn't go on any island
I don't know what's talking about
I was just every time I talked to me
Yeah I was on that Bepstein plane
And nothing happened
It's so weird
I mean it was just
They could not believe me
But I would never show
These people like just take quiet
all the time hope it goes away and it seems to be working so i don't feel bad at my point yeah
whatever he's also got other stuff doesn't he um accusations i don't care i'm not trying to do
a scarlet letter right but i mean yeah you're right put put him there put stephen pinker
the guy who he woke up he's like where am i what am i doing all i'm playing oh malcolm gladwell
yeah noam shomsky what am i doing on his plan i think noam shamsky should be in the film
He should be played by
Who's, like, a nerdy guy who he can get?
Maybe Niles from Cheers.
David Hyde Pierce plays Domchomsky.
Oh, I like that.
And his whole thing, he's kind of the, of the heist.
He's like the brains of the heist.
You know, he's the guy putting, like, Jeffrey Epstein's kind of the Danny Ocean,
the George Clooney of it all.
But he's more like the guy with a plan, Jeffrey, Domchomsky,
the famous linguist in MIT.
I like that.
what do you think uh i i feel like a lot of these narratives they work especially well if you have
somebody who's kind of a fish out of water yeah somebody who's just getting introduced to this world
somebody who's uh right you need like an ingenue i mean in this case that sounds horrible well you know
is it is it one of the victims right well i guess yeah i guess it could be uh that seems that seems
that seems callous though maybe maybe there is like a um do we do we set it up as if they're part of some
secret society of swindlers and child abusers.
You know, and some guy, I mean, we have to probably bring someone, if we're going to
bring someone along, the audience is going to care about it.
They can't be a real person, like real, they should be a real person, but they can't be a real
player.
Player on the Epstein situation.
It should be, you know, we passed on them for this.
Paul Ruther
playing himself
getting recruited
into the Epstein circle
and he's not liking it
that's why he would take the part
perhaps
he might say
and his agent might say
this is a real career killer
this is a horribly
inappropriate film
and should never be made
he's going to do everything
and can not get made
maybe
but he might like it
because he's the moral compass
of the whole situation
he's the one who says
this is wrong right
He's the whistleblower.
In reality, I don't think there was a whistleblower.
I mean, there was like a victim who could like hold the cops or something.
There was no pull-rod type.
But that's a little bit.
This is like we went.
It would be kind of interesting if there was like a little bit of a,
of a, this is the end element to it.
Sure.
There's a whole cast of people who play themselves.
Yeah.
Heightened versions of themselves.
Who have different levels of involvement in the ring.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Now, the problem with that is a very few people who actually have any
involvement in, you know, Jeffrey
Epstein will take this part.
Also, anyone else
might not. But I mean, definitely
if you're, if anyone who's on the plane,
I mean, that would be
so crazy if they did.
I mean, imagine if they, imagine if like
Bill Clinton agrees to be in the film.
I don't know. Maybe he's just, he's like,
oh, man, he'll get me some, you know, some girls.
There'll be some girls on the set.
There'll be some women.
Young women?
I think, sure.
maybe, you know, youngish.
You know.
That also kind of remind, that reminds me that could be like an interesting dynamic in the movie.
It's like if, I don't know who we want to have play Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Yeah.
That's a big casting decision.
Sydney community plays Hillary Clinton immediately 100%.
Honestly, it's not that bad.
I mean, it's flattering to Hillary, but I mean, it's just, but she is like a bustier.
Like, she wasn't that bad looking at her youth.
Right.
But this doesn't happen.
her youth. This isn't happened. This wasn't in the 60s
at Harvard or wherever she went
or Yale, what did she go?
This happens like, yeah, when she was
kind of an annoying, brash woman in the 90s or
2000s. Do we age up Sidney
at all or do we just let her be? Well, we're going to be doing a lot of age
manipulation. It sounds terrible
in this film because I forgot we put a pin in that
before. So we might as well just
you know, yeah, age her up. Because
what I want to do with the victims,
the parts of the film, it sounds terrible.
I'd like to use technology that was featured in, like, the Irishman, for instance, de-aging technology, and we de-age known actors to play victims.
So no one feels weird, right?
Yeah.
We get, like, a Kevin Spacey.
He's, he needs some money.
He'll do, he'll, look, look, here's our, actually, you know what?
Our break the glass choice for casting is Kevin Spacey.
He'll play apps to you.
I mean, it's not the best visually look
He's a good actor
And he'll do it
He needs money
I bet he would do an amazing Epstein
Even though he looks nothing like him
Well, we'll grate his hair
Whatever, yeah
It's not the best visual choice
He's a great actor
We'd be lucky to get him
Maybe
I mean we can probably make a random movie right now
And get him
If we put the money out
How much money do you think he would cost?
How bad is it for him?
50 grand
I know that
I know that when he was at the top
of his game.
Oh, well, yeah.
He did sometimes, like,
he would do these, like, short films
or something for, like, not, you know.
Oh, really?
Like, just to support smaller artists.
I know he did that.
He might not be in that position anymore.
Yeah, I don't.
I think he's doing that to support his mortgage.
But, uh, yeah,
though, he's our break the glass guy.
Yeah.
But if we do get, uh, if we do,
who do we say, Ben Stiller?
If we get Ben Stiller, then maybe we'll have,
will have a de-aged Kevin Spacey play a victim,
which will be kind of ironic for most people.
I mean, that would be really, really bold.
It would, because he's been accused of a lot of things.
He's been accused of a lot of things himself.
He is not female.
Oh, right, they're all female.
I forgot.
It's all, they're all for your own female, right?
But it's so strange.
It says a strange idea.
I do kind of really want to see it.
more than anything else.
That's an interesting thing.
I mean,
what we know about
the Epstein situation.
Imagine if he played Epstein
and a D.A.H.
victim.
I mean, honestly,
the way things are looking
with this script
that we're developing,
he might have to play everybody.
He's just going to be
a one-man play
movie.
The one man who has nothing to lose,
Kevin Spacey.
Oh, man.
He's the only man
who can speak the truth right now.
I mean, here it's a good, you bring up a good point.
I know the Epstein thing was always these girls, right?
The ideas, though, that they were also catering, you know, catering.
I mean, like, you know, supplying victims to powerful people.
Right.
Was there no young guys?
I mean, it probably was, right?
Yeah, we always hear about young girls being a thing.
You would think that if he was a career trafficker,
he might at some point get into the business of boys.
Yeah.
But yeah.
But I guess he didn't.
It probably had, yeah, maybe not.
You know, I guess even in child sex trafficking, there's specialization.
You think he got to, you think he priced himself out of the market?
So, right.
So let's get a pool of people who can play D.A.
All right, so it's not, so no, no, because I was going to get, like, a Dame McBride and D.H.M.
I was going to get, like, a James Franco and D.HM.
All those Appetal guys who don't do that much anymore, you know, Franco's brother.
You know, all those guys would be greatness.
So you were thinking of only men.
Well, I, you know, that will not recalibrate.
I'm sorry.
I'm, I'm in a sarcastic, I guess.
I wanted to cast Dave Rango as a pregnant victim, the age's victim.
um so who do we got we're de-aging so i mean the sky's the limit i don't know if we can get
like jame dutty dinch but maybe honestly what if we did get james jame judey dinch to play a victim
it would be an interesting cast i mean she's not i i iron the height of irony right i just
imagine the victim's tending to be kind of vulnerable yeah young young girl she's not sure she can
play vault you know hey judy play vulnerable please
Have us, have less demure.
And, uh, Dame Judy Dench, like, she usually plays powerful, kind of matriarch figures.
Well, because everyone wants to see a cowering old woman.
Right.
You know?
It's just, yeah.
It's gross.
Yeah.
Nothing like, nothing I want less is an old woman, Mrs. Doubtfire, trying to, like, get, you know,
trying to boss James Bond around, you know.
You just feel like, get to fucking out here.
I'll kill you.
I'm a spy.
Uh, no, but yeah.
So who are, so what?
That's a good point.
There should be more Sands than James Bond.
Right.
Where she tries to tell him what to do and he's just like, don't talk to me like that, you
old bag.
I'll break every bone in your face.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, James Bond should, there's no reason he would not hit women.
This guy.
We've built up as a society.
He's just, you know, he was, he, the real of him would just be like, you know, you
You can't give a guy a license to kill, and then, like, tell her that boss be as a woman.
Yeah.
You know, she's going to kill her.
Yeah.
Who else is elderly?
That we, that might be better.
Helen Mirren.
She's still alive, right?
She's, people like her.
She's, she's elderly, and she's pretty attractive.
You know, honestly, you could de-h her.
She'd be great.
She was in Excalibur.
you know just get i mean have her be like how she was next caliber maybe younger she's a victim
i mean we're not showing scenes here you know we're not we're not having like awful abuse scenes
right yeah we're not going to be graphic i just you know disrespectful but i don't even want like
you know actual teenage women or even in the 20s in this movie right i don't want you know i don't
give them the satisfaction oh yeah you don't even want the people who did this yeah of impropriety
Right.
This is not going to be something you get titillated by.
You can be watching old women play young girls.
So good luck getting titillated by that, you pita bastards.
There's a lot of integrity than that.
I like that.
Thank you.
Robin Wright.
See, on the Patreon recently, I got a lot of flack because I just said, you know,
in Princess Bride, I thought Robert Wright was perfectly attractive, beautiful.
But, like, not the height of, like, you know, she wasn't the end-all be-of-women.
You basically called her a mid-pegy.
I don't know, but, you know, but I'm saying Robin Wright, you know, famous for Princess Bride and then have some cards.
She's got a prior relationship with the, with Kevin Spacey.
That might help.
It might hurt.
But she would be great.
D.H.
Sure.
Or should we not even de age it?
We just have old women.
Is that part of the trope of this film?
Right.
So old women are playing young girls getting abused.
I mean, it's, it's adventurous for sure.
I mean, I think they should at least.
be old women dressed as young girls.
Yes.
How we're like a school girl after?
We don't know how we do this.
We'll put Dame Judy Denshan pigtails or something.
Does she have one of those like, you know, like bubble chains?
You know, like girls had in the graves back in the day.
Right, yeah.
I was that raves, you know.
The little bubble.
I don't know.
Stuff like that.
She's a rave girl.
Right.
She's a rave girl who gets ensnared in Jeffrey Epstein.
island claimed by Ben Stiller.
Interesting.
One more. We need one more woman.
One more elderly, kind of old woman.
How about Viola Davis?
Yeah, I mean, sure.
They're going to want, you know,
she is a great actress.
They're going to want, not everyone to be white.
I wonder if in this case, if they still want that.
He still wanted, you know, diversity in this film.
He wants to force diversity on this one?
Are you cool?
without it.
I feel like I feel like I get a pass.
Maybe one thing.
Paul Dano.
He can play a woman.
Yeah.
He's a delicate guy.
I'm not thinking a shot at him.
He's a good actor.
You know,
it'd be bold.
And he's looking for allies probably now.
Yeah, because Tarantino's trying to swipe.
Tarantino's trying to swipe him.
So, you know, he's on these other.
I mean, I think everyone's kind of rallied around Paul Dano.
he's having a moment time to cash in paul we're we're team dano we're team dano how about you be team
us play one of abstein's victim sign on sign a letter of intent i need to get financing
play a victim please that'll be huge if we get james duty dinch james james judey dinch and paul dana
was victims and we go this movie to the money people and then we here's our wish list
Ben Stiller.
Tilda Swinton.
Cooper Hoffman.
Not Cooper Hoffman.
That's the other one.
Oh, yeah, Cooper Hoffman.
This is great.
What should the plot be?
It's something on a time travel thing.
I think, well, first of all, who's going to play Bill Clinton?
Right.
We need to figure that out.
Again, if he says no.
If he says no, yeah.
Right.
I know if he got an opportunity to play against Sidney Sweeney.
Oh, yeah.
He was a very well made.
Right.
So, yeah.
Oh, right.
We're getting Sidney's playing Jolene?
Mm-hmm.
Was that what we said?
Oh, he's playing Hillary.
Hillary.
Right.
Well, he's never going to touch her.
How, why don't you have played Jolaine?
Everybody should rub my feet.
Um, yeah, let's see.
Let's see.
Who's like a chubby-ish kind of, you know, like a guy.
who's got
he wasn't like
it wasn't a tremendously fat guy
he was a little
little soft
right
yeah a little fluffy
we still have guys like that anymore
not a lot
about Zach Galaphanakis
I'll like that
yeah right it could work
Zach Galaphanakis and Sidney
I feel like their love
the way their love is tested
yeah should be part of the plot
right okay so this is this is
really Bill Clinton's movie.
Yeah, but
No, no, I think it should be part of it.
Okay.
It should be an ensemble,
kind of like,
kind of like dead poet society.
Kind of like vignettes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was interesting because at the end,
you know,
I didn't know,
I didn't that movie
someone was used themselves.
Yeah.
Oh, and that was also
very unrealistic.
Um,
okay,
so we have,
so that Bill Gates
should be in the movie,
I think.
Bill Gates gets his computer ideas
from Epstein,
maybe.
Maybe,
maybe Jeffrey Effey
scene comes up with the
with Clippy
You remember with Clippy for Microsoft
Yes
Why don't you have an assistant
It's so hard to use these computers
Bill
Why don't you have an assistant
That you know
That teaches me how to use it
Maybe a paper clip
Like I like that
Because Clippy's taking a whole new thing now
This is the guy
You know that guy Louis Rossman
And I watch sometimes
He's got a channel
Everyone go watch Louis Rossman
He's a guy on YouTube
Who does like privacy advocacy
see stuff and right
to repair.
He's got a whole
clippy movement going on.
So I want to be, you know,
just acknowledge him that.
What do you mean clippy movement?
He's using that as a,
he's telling people to change their profile
pictures as a clippy.
Do you remember clippy?
Oh yeah, of course I remember clipping.
Because I forget the exact rationale,
but it's a way of protesting something.
Okay.
So I'm just, I'm just going to shout out
because I wasn't trying to steal his
clipy thing, but it's a real thing.
So you think Epstein at some point
and Vince Clippy in this movie.
I think it would be a fun little thing, yeah.
Is he, are you imagining him as sort of a Zellig?
Like, sort of, sort of a person who, like, he's there.
He's there.
For people who have him, Zellig's, like, as Woody Allen's, like, Forrest Gump
before Forrest Gump, kind of, right?
Yeah.
Like, a guy who just kind of, is everywhere.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
Like, he's just kind of there at the, you know, the inception points of all these.
That would be an interesting way of kind of establishing that, you know,
Everyone is involved in this.
You know, it's a little metaphorical, it's a little whimsical.
It's a little bit, it's one of those things where it's like it's technically untrue, but actually reveal it, it makes it more true.
Because in a movie like this, we're not going to have time to put every single person, like what we're going to have like the CEO of Microsoft and CEO of this, like all these different CEOs and plot points that make the, no, but he could be, it'll be a fun scene here where he's been inventes clipy and a fun scene here where he, you know, events the, the mortgage back security.
or something.
Right.
You know?
And just as a way of showing
how deeply entrenched
into American society
on every level
this kind of thing is.
Yeah.
Zellig.
I guess Woody Allen
should be in it, right?
Yeah, I mean,
we could probably get him
to direct it.
Right.
Oh, I thought I was going to direct it.
But I guess we'd get a lot
Worthy direction.
I don't know.
I mean, it would be very problem.
I mean, it would be very...
I don't know if we're not even going to use, like, child actresses.
We probably won't want to be involved then.
Right.
Yeah.
No, I mean, I'm just...
I'm not saying anything.
I'm not accusing anyone.
I'm just saying he might not like that idea, artistically.
You know what I mean?
Sure.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, I do.
Okay.
And...
But I...
But if we're not even going to use trial that, I mean, we can't.
The appearances of having Woody Allen direct it would be crazy.
Oh, I thought you were saying he wouldn't want.
Oh, you're saying that...
He also wouldn't watch it.
You were saying it would look bad?
Yeah.
Why?
Because these accused of many of the same activities.
Right.
No, look, I would feel bad having a set where anyone, you know, even the crew would have to deal with this guy.
Mm-hmm.
You know?
Maybe.
sure but yeah I agree yeah no sure um but what what if he gets the Academy Award
because all his movies lately haven't been that good I haven't seen his new ones
like if anything he's gonna get us the palm uvra or whatever like he's the Palm Dior
the Palm Dior that's big I think yeah he'd get us some European shit he's not gonna get us
an ask you know they say about the Palm Dior I can if they if they if you if you
if you're in your ovation last less than 10 minutes it's bullshit
which that was crazy
and how performative are these people
the standing clapping
North Korea
yeah
I thought they're all like weird dilettons
like rich kids
they all just give 10 minutes standing ovations
I can't imagine anybody
like in the upper crust in this country
giving anything a 10 minutes standing ovation
I can't imagine not being on free in fentanyl
you know they're all just on like you know
IVs with all that approved
it's not part of the culture anymore
but I was a kid I remember I remember as a kid
people clapping when the plane landed.
What? That doesn't happen anymore.
People clap when the plane landed? Yeah.
Patronizing.
I thought it was the bad clapping at the movie theater.
That became a thing. I mean, honestly, that became a thing when we got older.
You know, no one did that when I was a kid.
And now when people clap at the end of a movie, which is insane.
Who you clap for?
The scumbag who didn't clean the theater?
Sticky floor.
Well, you know, for a particularly good movie.
Who's?
it's a movie theater who are you clapping to who's hearing this you clap even why do you clap at home
then you might go clap at home you know it's like you clap so that the people who who did the
work can hear it you've never clapped at home for no what have you I think I have yeah more movie
I mean I forget but I feel like I've seen a couple of movies that were just really good and I
clapped well that look that's very i i don't have a problem with that i don't i don't want to
like you know squash out your your hope and dreams don't you ever have the desire to just say
bravo i mean look i have been moved by films at home very much you know 2001 space
honestly year in the first three years ago all sorts of films the greatest films of all time i've
seen at home most of them at least it was you know before i was you know of age to watch films
I don't think I have a clap right even though
Does that make me a dead person inside
Maybe a bit
Well maybe I should
Or it's hard to impress
Look if Stanley Cooper was in my apartment
But I'd clap
You'd be a great
Beautiful lady
What? What?
What?
What are you talking about?
If you were a beautiful lady
Like your standoffishness
My standoff it
It would be very intriguing
Well, you're a woman
You can just kind of clap at a movie
That someone played off of a Kulu
And everyone's like, oh, that's cute, she's clapping
If I do that, they'll put me in a freaking home
They'll put me in Bellevue
There's millions of people out there
Who want me in an institution
Just know that
So the plot of this film
they're trying to steal
maybe it's like a national treasure kind of thing
they're trying to steal like a heist
well they have to steal
Statue of Liberty
that's too big
but something big
but who has to steal it
Epstein
yeah it's crew
maybe they have to steal the ruby slippers
and Smithsonian Institute
you know
that'll be
I like that
That fucking Wizard of all shit
It's very big now
Now by the time we get this movie going
I'm not sure if it will still be
Popular
And who does he have to steal it for
For one of his
For one of his
Yeah I don't want to disparage
I'm a gay guy send to like that shit right
They're like the whole Wizard of Rot Dorothy thing
Right
Yeah or I guess they used to
It's a rich gay guy
Yeah
It's a very rich gay guy
Who's this for
The wealthiest gay man
ever lived and then like maybe maybe later on you reveal he just wanted himself but whatever it's like
you're stealing for yourself like it's like yeah whatever you know it's intrigue you seem it just seems like
you're picking a lot of things you're picking plot points that are interesting don't get me wrong right
well yeah but they don't seem related to what epstein is really most infamous we can't just have a film
where he's just going on island and abusing kids for two hours there's got to be more he's got we have
have a skeleton of a plot
that we hang that on. Okay.
You know? It's sort of like
that, you know, the Paul Rudd
character will be like, oh, this
is great. And then he goes, you're in the hotel
or whatever, some fancy, the posh hotel,
and he sees Epstein going into his room
with some young girl, ah, I go with the face
of black. And he'll go up next day, and it's like,
dude, how was your night? Like, oh, it's great.
Anyway, now we have to go, this part of the plot
where we have to turn off the power in D.C.
You know?
You have these moments, right?
Yeah.
We can't, this is why no one's made the film yet.
You can't have two hours of kids.
You know, this is just going to be too much.
Right.
You need like a lighthearted heist where, you know, D.H old women are getting abused.

I'm saying.
This does sound, this sounds crazy.
Well, I know you're on board with this.
What is your counter argument?
What's your counterproposal?
I mean, maybe we can,
I'm saying maybe we can tell the story.
yeah through the perspective of a of a person who's uh you know like working on the island but
like not like they're they're not one of the pro one of the child they're just they're caterer
they're they're uh they're serving uh right yeah like somebody had to serve the food right
yeah probably probably people don't speak english i imagine i just i mean but yeah some kind of
cater maybe maybe they were uh government government people some government don't
Or somebody
Wasn't there an altar?
Was there an altar?
There was some kind of thing there, right?
A ball or something.
Yeah.
Somebody had to prepare that.
Yeah.
I'm just the guy building the Titanic Temple.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just the guy who,
I'm just the guy who makes the chocolate fountain
for the ball,
for the, for the satanic altar.
You did a chocolate fountain on that thing?
I mean, they put gifts.
You put gifts on an altar, right?
What?
Do you?
I mean, in the old days, they put, like, meats and stuff, like animals.
Well, there's sacrificed animals to it.
Yeah.
You sacrifice as a chocolate fountain?
They plug it into the chocolate store?
I don't know.
I mean, so how does that work in your mind?
You, like, usually in the old days, there'd be, like, a temple priest, right?
Right.
I think you're describing the old temple, the Jewish temple.
When they come in and it'd be a priest, and you have to, like, buy animals upstairs, I think.
And then you come in, you hand it to him and he'd butcher it or something.
I've never been, I didn't, it's famously not there anymore.
In your mind, you're going there and you're bringing,
I have to plug this in first.
I'm like, all right, like, be quick.
You're like sitting it up.
I just add the chocolate now and you're pouring chocolate into this fountain
to make a chocolate fountain runs.
And he would think of what, like cut in half?
Look, I was maybe thinking that people were partaking in the chocolate.
the fountain, like, while they were gathering around the altar.
This idea got away from me, but I...
There's a treat table, what you're saying.
Yeah.
All right.
Sure.
You know, it'd be kind of funny if, if the Paul Rudd character was like, I mean,
you really, we need a treat table here?
I mean, we have treats all day.
And he's like, what's what they want.
They want a try of a fountain.
Just to acknowledge that it's kind of like it's, you know,
you would think.
that if all these they have everything they want
but even in the satanic temple they have a little treat
table with donuts and chocolate
yeah
what do you think should be the
what should the climax be
I mean it should be
him
him uh
him being like you know hung by
unknown man
yeah just do the hang
or kill or it was you know
killing himself, I guess you could say.
It should be ambiguous, kind of.
Right.
Like, it should be
like, like there should be
the guy, you know. Like Wolfman, kind of.
The action happens off screen. I mean, maybe
we should go, maybe the whole thing should be so over the top
where it's like just, it's like the Leon, it's
a professional, that movie.
Where like, the Brooklyn Attention Center
or whatever was. The guy's like, you know, shooting
guards, loves and right, because in reality, just
the camera wasn't even on.
You know, it was like, she's on cops.
Right. So we make it this really elaborate.
like killing
where like a bunch of people
who have to get shot
to get the kids
Epstein
you know
because the opposite
of what happened
that's a dramatic irony
that's the plot
but that's kind of
that's kind of a post
you know
the problem is
what are you saying
we're going to do
we're going to tell
the story of Epstein
where you want to get rid
of the heist
um
no I like the highest
so the height should stay
so the heish should happen
and
should go back. Maybe that's why they finally
arrest them. Because we tolerated
you when you were just a child of abuser.
And now you're trying to steal the ruby slippers from the
Smithsonian Institute. You know, the
Museum of America. Now we're
going down. Now we're
calling in our chits.
And then they arrest them.
They hang him.
Like, Hamon
prison for that. I do...
Should the person who hangs him
be relevant to his life.
It should be Donald Trump.
Donald Trump played by
Who's gets to match you stand the flame again
You know that friend's movie
I think he did a good job
Or we get Daryl Hammond
I don't you know
A lot of people do Trump now
Shane Gillis might do it
That's the way I don't wait
We got Shane Gillis
He does a funny Trump
He's just
Now you're dead
I've got the ruby slippers
Do we show
Yeah
Is this too insensitive
Or do we show
The
Either official cause of death
Or the rumored cause of death
Of one of the victims
Because it's rumored that one of the victims
Was maybe
You know
What?
Killed?
Assassinated
Yeah no we'll just have that happen
I don't care
We assume many
There's a lot of things you can see me for
Yeah
I mean
They're going to probably kill me to make
If I make this movie
Just because it's like weird
You know
Sure
You think they'll let me make this movie
Not real, no
No
They're gonna, you know
I'm gonna be a famous like martyred artist
If I make this
Like Picasso
He was like he was killed
Picasso was killed
Wasn't he?
He probably was
I thought he died of old age
I thought he died
And he cut his ear off
Oh that's Van Go
Right, right, right.
I didn't confuse us.
There is that anecdote about it.
Maybe this might be what you're thinking.
There is that anecdote about Picasso.
Yeah.
Where he painted Guernica.
Right.
You know, that big kind of like crazy scene of all this death.
And then like there's a rumored interaction where some fascist or whatever, Spanish fascist or something was like, you know, did you do this painting or whatever?
And then Picasso was like, no, you did this.
Like, you did the, you did the massacre.
Wow.
No, I went to Peyton.
No, yeah, but I met at the panic.
Right.
It's good, it's good, it's well painted.
I did, I did, I did kill some people, you're right.
But, uh, I have to give me a dick about it.
I was just going to pay a compliment, but whatever.
I was going to say it's got a cool.
Yeah.
You got it right.
it nailed it
um
what
who should score the film
was that important
should we get like a popular pop artist to score it
the way you have like you know
music by
like the Riza
like the Rizzo
right right yes
maybe maybe can we get like a
chopper roan
who or um
or Britney Spears
I would kind of like it if Pink Pony Club became, like, the official song.
There should be a slow-motion Pink Pony Club, you know, a slow-down-up, and just Epstein's
like the Ruby Slippers, and it's just like, I don't know why I decided, it's a ridiculous thing to steal,
but I like the image of it.
That would be the poster, him wearing Ruby slippers.
Yeah, it's provocative.
Right.
There's no place like home, but it's the White House or something with a conness.
I don't know.
Both.
Boat.
But what bag of Britney Spears maybe?
Yeah, like a...
You probably get her.
Should I probably do a music video for this.
I mean, what should the song...
First of all, what's your...
I'm trying to figure out what...
A pop song, based on this movie, it would be called.
Hit me a one more time.
You just wanted her to do.
Hit me a little more time.
Toxic, it's good, you know.
Yeah, no.
to me, but you know that I'm toxic.
It's just him like, yeah, it's all we got to do.
Like, almost like a horror movie version of taxis.
He can do it when she can rework the, that's why we want to get hurt.
We don't want to chat.
Shop of Rome's like that thing is going on.
She's too busy.
We get Brittany and she does a candle in the wind, but she rewrites the lyrics.
You know?
Like, you know, he wrote that, like, Elton John wrote that song about who?
Uh, Barrel Monroe.
And then Prince Dan and died, he's like, oh, just reworked this song.
Why not use it twice?
Use it for her, too.
made new lyrics.
We'll just do that with toxic.
And maybe more time.
That's why
you don't pay for the best
artists, because they won't customize
it for you.
Or the most relevant artists.
And it's also, she was also
probably, you know, in many ways, was
abused. Or maybe she's just crazy. I don't know.
It doesn't seem like people treat them well.
no
yeah
what uh
what academy awards do you think will win
we're getting ahead of ourselves here but
I mean if we do this if we do this time
manipulation thing yeah I feel like we're shooing for
best editing right
okay it's gonna be like paul fiction but better
or like world memento you know it's gonna be also
three different way it's gonna be told through multiple time periods
but also multiple dreams
and multiple
his dream heisting
it's all that shit
they're doing a tenant thing
they run backwards
you know
and shit like that
we're gonna do all the tricks
all the tricks
the story within a story
yeah that people love
from a princess bride
right
well Fred Savage
telling the story of Hepstein
he's a 50 year old man
or 60 year old man
it's fine
we'll have a
you know at the end
we'll do like
you know tribute to Rob Brynner
yeah
No, RIP, Rob, Meathead, we miss you.
Do you think it's wrong to call him Meathead?
Yeah, I mean, I think people will just assume that, like, that's something you call them because you were close.
No, it's, it was on TV for years.
You just didn't watch the old in the family.
It was his name.
He was the Meathead.
He would say, Mehat, shut out, Meathead.
What, you don't believe me.
You think I'm lying.
I mean, I'm lying about that.
Just talking.
where Amanda was killed.
I don't think you would lie on purpose.
But I, what do you think it should be called?
It should be called, um, the shape of water.
Um, no, it should be called, um, I mean, like, look, we'll make a, some options.
I mean, it was just the standard way I just call it Epstein, right?
That's one.
Um, or Jeffrey.
you know uh
what about
what if it was called jeff app
that's so dumb
jeffat
uh
sometimes like in the movie like people who are really close
to him like
you try get that go like hey jeffap what up
hey
hey
and they put the Polaroid character was like
oh the guy just called you Jeff App
yeah it's kind of something my friends calling me
oh can I call you Jeff Ep
and like not yet
but then it turns out everyone calls him Jeff Ep
the child abuser
hmm that's it's a metaphor or something
allegory right yeah
cram full of this stuff
um
now so those are all names of the movie
we're following around the name
but maybe it should be some other ones like um the cost of doing business that's not a bad name that's
not a bad name yeah that's actually a good name I mean that's actually too good the cost of doing
business that's actually it means a lot but also it's nothing you know it's evocative it's actually
I might call it that the cost of doing business I like it a lot yeah it's kind of reminiscent of
like all the money in the world or
sure this actually means something but this is
actually great this is actually cutting
because it actually is behind
it's the currency behind the currency
the Federal Reserve
should be in this film
Ben Bernanke I don't know if he's involved in the case
but Ben Bernanke yeah
Paul Giamaldi played Ben Bernanke again
he played in that HBO movie
he was really good
just getting we're running back
they'll probably say no
what if
what if Paul Giamaldi played that obscene
he's a great to watch
he's a great actor
he's a great actor
oh shit you know I left out
Bishammy
well Bichette could be
yeah Bisham could be Vince Vaughn
Vince Vaughn
could be a good Epstein
he could be
you gray him up
and he's like and you make him
likable
but like it'll sleep
easy?
Yeah.
I take him over
Ben Stiller.
I think we're doing this.
You know what?
John Favre could play Bill Clinton.
That's kind of great.
Thank you.
We're doing this.
The cost of doing business.
It comes out.
Let's be conservative.
2030.
Yeah.
That's true.
You know, we did on the Patreon,
you know,
the other day, we pitched the
idea for Ben Affleck to play more
at Luzer King, and that was going to come out in 20th, 30
to just push that, or do you think
that's going to out first?
I think the world needs this
more. Yeah, it's more pertinent.
Yeah. Yeah, okay, so we're pushing back to
MLK Ben Affleck movie. People think they want
justice. They think that they want
people to go to prison for people
to face consequences. Right.
But really, they just want someone to give voice
to their pain in the form of a movie.
Yes, and they want the movie to have
No one wants a boring movie
Victims aren't going to be happy if your movie sucks
They want a hit
They want a hit where they're acknowledged
They don't want a realistic bomb
That's terrible
They want sensational movie
You know William, you think William Wallace's descendants
Would prefer it if you told a real story of William Wallace
Instead of Braveheart
They would spit in your face
They love Braveheart
People glaze them all the time
Because they're the Wallace family
The real William Wallace is just very different
I forget but it's just not like that movie
But they prefer the fiction
We get it when they read Academy Award
I mean blacklisted from Hollywood
Are you ready for your whole world to turn upside down
I can't weigh it
What
All the money
Costume business
what are you going to wear
the red carpet
I'm going to wear
I'm going to dress up like
can we dress up like a Batman and Robin
ooh I was going to say I was going to dress up
like some kind of weird king
like from the playing cards
but that's
you know like an Air Austin Waldenland kind of thing
but yeah Batman and Robin is also good
will I be Robin or you probably be Batman
that I'd be Robin
Okay, that's good.
I'll do a costume change halfway through the award show and I'll also be the penguin.
What?
So do we leave anyone out?
There's a lot of people involved with this.
There's too many, really, to be in the game, but.
Jeff Daniel should be in somewhere.
Oh, yeah.
He should play, uh,
he should play some prosecutor he's always prosecuting people
it's about it's a bad justice
I'll show you justice
he'll less them
he should play a prosecutor with a child
wife
but it's somehow a legal child wife
how is it legal and that's his whole identity
it's like he's like I you know
it's like I follow the law
I'm sure
I don't have a heap of file do but I followed the law
this is actually legal and like he went to like
some country you did it.
Terrible.
Wow.
Yeah.
Just to show that everybody's a little bit seedy.
Everyone's a little bit morally compromised.
Everyone's involved.
Turn the lens back on the audience.
Yeah.
Jack Nicholson isn't it for a minute.
You're no better than the epithelic,
hypocritical prosecutor, are you?
Jack Nicholson's like, you can't handle the truth.
We just do AI for that.
We get sore to do it.
Yeah, you know, like a suit, but I wanted to have, I wanted to have a kind of a space jam too kind of vibe where everyone's in it.
Every character is.
Oh, man.
Yeah, there's a lot going on.
Yeah.
The cost you in business coming.
Christmas, 2030.
