Thank you to Huell for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit.

Starting point is 00:00:37 Without further ado, let's jump into what I'm sure is about to be a lighthearted comedy where there's no conflict or dysfunction. Nope. My Seth Rogen laugh. Let's do this thing. All righty, gang. If you happen to be watching this and you made it to the end of the video, leave a like.

Starting point is 00:01:11 Also, big thanks to the folks over Prepper for chopping this movie down because this must have been a real task and, you know, we appreciate them mightily for it. Also, if you happen to be listening on Apple or Spotify, you know, leave us a little bit of a five-star rating. you could, or, you know, however many stars you think is fair. We'll just go with that. But yes, as always, we got some questions from our patrons to kick things off to guide our Convo. And, God, my mind, I'm still reeling a little bit. All right, let's find the first question here. Goodness gracious, there's a big, thick boy of a posted day.

Starting point is 00:02:00 All right. Oh, we got a lot of questions? Well, it's a big old post. Oh, okay. Making sure that we got the correct questions pulled up. All right. Here we go. We're back.

Starting point is 00:02:18 We've done it. Jules R. Thank you so much for jumping in and joining the conversation. A little clappy for the editors. All right. For neighbors, what did you think? of the Zach Efron and Seth Rogan team up would you like

Starting point is 00:02:34 to see more of them oh yeah they're great this was a really fun movie they surprisingly had a very great chemistry and I think that I believe there's a neighbors too I'm not mistaken but yeah you just confirm that but yeah I think that you know

Starting point is 00:02:51 I associate Zach Ephron with doing more serious stuff than comedy so for him to enter this comedy lane I think he fitted it perfectly and not only him and Zach Ephron had great chemistry but Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne also had amazing chemistry so yeah I really enjoyed them and I would definitely want to watch

Starting point is 00:03:10 neighbors too and anything else that they just had to do together yeah absolutely this was a good you know mix and match because obviously they're a little bit opposite of type but I felt like you know while Zach Ephron certainly gets to play the handsome sexy guy like they both got to do comedy they both got chances to be funny both got chances to be the wacky guy and the sort of straight man at times

Starting point is 00:03:33 and yeah I thought their rivalry was really fun and their back and forth was really infectious the improv seemed pretty on point and yeah like I love a good like I haven't seen Zach Efron in a ton of stuff you know I'm very aware of his presence and the various things he's been in but yeah this was really fun to watch

Starting point is 00:03:52 anytime an actor that you associate with one thing jumps into a different genre it's always a tree and, yeah, to have, you know, teen heart throb, Zach Efron, then jumping into this world of raunchy comedy. Very funny, and he's got the chops, man. I thought it was a very fun, both physical role, but also character performance. So, hell yeah, and I'm excited.

Starting point is 00:04:12 I hope we get to watch Neighbors, too, because, I mean, yeah, this was a delight. And it also didn't quite wrap up the way I had expected it, too, which was kind of nice. So, yeah, absolutely. Next up, we got Kev B. Kev B says this for Neighbors 2014

Starting point is 00:04:32 Trivia Seth Rogen and Zach Effron actually took big pay cuts so the film could spend more on those insane party scenes Oh wow That's awesome Yeah absolutely

Starting point is 00:04:42 Meanwhile that's good too That's how you know people Are invested in the project All right Judd Apatoe with the thanks there on the credits Okay okay Because yeah Evercrombie and Fitch

Starting point is 00:04:53 That's funny Johnny Rockets Got to get those CityWalk credits in there All right, so trivia. Seth Rogen and Zach Efron actually took big pay cuts so the film could spend more on those insane party scenes.

Starting point is 00:05:05 Meanwhile, the twins playing their baby barely even cried on set, totally unfazed by all the chaos around them. Aw. Question. How do you think the mix of real family and wild party madness worked? Nice little tag at the end there

Starting point is 00:05:25 with the I'm going to butcher the Hebrew there so if Hamish Haq means game over not bad yes but anyway how do you think the mix of real family and wild

Starting point is 00:05:37 party madness worked for you? Did it feel balanced or weird at times? No I think it felt great you know this is a situation new parent having to be next to a fraternity that's too loud it's something

Starting point is 00:05:53 that you know I'm sure has happened at some point in time and this just pitched up to the key of comedy and yeah i think it it was really hilarious you know obviously you have to stretch your disbelief for some circumstances to kind of unfold but even in that it was not a uh stretch i was that was resistant towards towards watching because it only made the movie funnier so i was yeah i was thoroughly surprised and entertained and yeah it was laughing almost at the point of tears multiple times in this movie so yeah definitely worked. Yeah, I think it's well pitched for what it is. I mean, obviously

Starting point is 00:06:27 it's a bit outlandish. It's certainly over the top and, you know, you have the back and forth of you know, these people kind of resisting their transition into parenthood, into a quieter life, into, you know, leaving behind some of their wilder

Starting point is 00:06:43 days and whatnot. And then yeah, combine that with, you know, the insanity of the party. I mean, it definitely is more modern. Like, you know, you, at the end there, when they're with the baby and they're having their nice little intimate coda moment like you know you see some paraphernalia on the table all right this is like a modern parenting portrait um but i thought yeah i didn't feel it was too weird i mean you know anything that's supposed to be you know shocking or outlandish is played as such i felt like and you know yeah i thought it was a fun back and forth of how much they want to be cool and accepted by these kids but also how much they realize that yeah like this isn't going to be on harmonious union. These guys are way too rowdy and this situation is not ripe for a neighborhood like this. Yeah, I mean, I feel like the party madness was appropriately mad and silly and outlandish

Starting point is 00:07:37 and it never, I don't think there was anything that, you know, broke too far beyond that. You know, I think you got to ride the line a little bit, but I never felt like they either tried something that just absolutely fell flat and did not work or like they, you know, went way past the line of what's appropriate. Like, you know, it's a bit edgy. But, yeah, I thought it was pretty decently handled in terms of, you know, the wildness.

Starting point is 00:08:04 Certainly, you know, you've got to keep that baby away from certain kinds of contraband, but, you know, they did that, so you're fine. Yeah. Great. Yeah, I think it was pretty nicely handled for the, you know, wild, madcap kind of comedy this wants to be. So, yeah, not too disturbed, but curious to hear your guys'

Starting point is 00:08:21 thoughts on this. Alisa S. Thank you for chiming into the Convo for Aaron and John on Neighbors. How would you rank this among the other raunchy comedies you've seen on the channel? Do you have any nightmare neighbors stories like Greg shared once about the party house? Oh, goodness. Not really any nightmare neighbor stories in particular. I mean, I've had some crazy, there were some crazy, like, dorm experiences back in the day living at school. But thankfully, most of the places I've ever actually.

Starting point is 00:08:53 actually lived, haven't had much in the way of, like, neighbor-related chaos, thankfully. No, I've never experienced something crazy like this to this degree. I've never had a neighborhood rival. Yeah, no, I'm not particularly, never experienced that. But what I can say is that we watch a lot of movies here at this channel, as you guys know, multiple upload today. And, you know, we've seen a variety of different types of movies. That said, I have to say this is probably in my top.

Starting point is 00:09:23 three comedies I've watched on the channel. Hey, all right. Yeah, okay. This stands up with airplane, with Koi, and then Blues Brothers with you. Blues Brothers was, I mean, you know, that's got, I wouldn't necessarily say

Starting point is 00:09:37 that, like, raunchy comedy is the main subcategory of comedy, but I would say, like, there's definitely raunch in that movie, and that was one of the most fun, crazy, wild, you know, unexpected experiences. For sure. Yeah, on this channel, certainly.

Starting point is 00:09:53 uh so hell yeah to that i'm trying to think of any other like super raunchy comedies we would have watched i'm trying to pull up the comedy playlist to jog my memory right now um because yeah i mean you know like i know who is it did you guys watch super bad somebody watched super bad on this panel me and terah watched super bad was really fun i would like super bad as well heck yeah watch a ton yeah bring in uh that's the thing is you watch so many movies on the channel that after a while you're like okay wait so what have i What did I watch here? Yeah, obviously because we watch so many movies, the ones that stick out

Starting point is 00:10:26 immediately are the ones that take priority in my mind. So when the question was posed, those were the first three to pop up, or the first two, you know, in relation to this one to pop up. Yeah, I liked Euro Trip. The Naked Gun movies have been fun.

Starting point is 00:10:43 But yeah, movies have gotten me so close to crying tears, this airplane and Blues Brothers. Yeah, you guys have checked out a lot of, like, comedies that I love on this channel. There's a lot of comedies that, I mean, Team America was pretty fun. I feel like, yeah, the raunchy stuff is mostly been to people who aren't me on the channel. Good boys. Good boys was a lot of fun.

Starting point is 00:11:10 I do remember, yeah, watching the good boys. The American Pie series. Yeah, that one. See, that's the thing is, yeah, you watch so much stuff. You're like, you need a memory jog. But, yeah, the American Pies caught me by surprise and did a nice job, I thought, especially given the fact that yeah like time is a little different now

Starting point is 00:11:24 and like sensibilities are a little bit different now like that could have gone kind of wrong but I felt like for the most part it's easy to see what hasn't aged perfectly but also those were really charming really fun and yes appropriately quite quite raunchy you know we've had a good amount

Starting point is 00:11:40 of the Sandler movies that have been very fun to watch Happy Gilmores were great yeah happy Gilmores both were very enjoyable and whatnot but yeah I guess you know the comedy that always comes direct to mind on this channel for me is Blues Brothers

Starting point is 00:11:54 and then yeah something in this vein I feel like you know the most this kind of runchy comedy I feel like I have seen on the channel would have been good boys and good boys was very funny so you know dumb and dumber but then you're getting out into more like broad wackiness

Starting point is 00:12:10 Reject Nation I have officially lost over 45 pounds this year I am still working on a couple of extra goals for body composition development.

Starting point is 00:14:08 It's, you know, it's in some ways, you know, the B movie, you know, I don't think White Chicks is as well kind of regarded as something like a neighbor's but it was still madcap and very funny so despite so appreciate that would be curious to hear some of your guys's favorite raunchy comedies um let's see who else we got here on the q and a gabriel thank you so much for chiming in neighbors without naming them i'd like to hear a bad neighbor's story from both of you bonus points if it's not safe for weik oh lord

Starting point is 00:14:48 Man. Okay, well, I have a neighbor's story, but it's not like a bad story necessarily. I was out for a walk in the neighborhood. This is just kind of neat. This isn't a bad neighbor's story, though. I feel like I haven't had it. I've had tricky roommates. I guess I guess one time I came home to the dorm, and I found my roommate in the lobby.

Starting point is 00:15:18 and he was like headed out but he was clearly quite intoxicated and you know I went back up to the room where the other two guys were we were four people to a room and then like five minutes later there's a knock on the door and I come to the door and I peered out the people and I just see our dude on the ground with like two officers and it was a very much like is this yours situation and then it came down to this conversation about like you can either keep him here

Starting point is 00:15:49 but I think the best thing for us to do is just to take him and let him sleep this off and then help him sort of the life out. Oh, geez. So yeah, I mean there were, I have a lot of like, yeah, wacky dorm stories like that but not, yeah, a ton of like really bad neighbor scenarios.

Starting point is 00:16:08 Thankfully, I mean, you know. So, yeah, I've never had any destructive neighbors per se. Yeah, I wish I had like a juicy story. No, the one thing I can think of that came to mind was there used to be my neighbor that lived across the street for me, which I never saw. Like, I can rarely ever even recall seeing this person when they lived there. But I remember one day out of nowhere, there was a police raid at that house. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:16:39 But I remember the garage being open and it was just like filled to the brim with like boxes. And crap, like, it seemed like they're, like, a major hoarder. And from what I remember, I think they were, like, a cybercriminal. Like, they were like, yeah, they're on the FBI list. Hell yeah. So, yeah, that's the only thing. Not a good neighbor. I never saw the guy, at least not I can remember, but he definitely did some stuff that the P-P, that the Popo were not happy with.

Starting point is 00:17:03 The Pope did not appreciate. No, sir. All right. I'll keep racking my brain, but, yeah, unfortunately, I don't have many juicy bad neighbor stories. It's just been too many polite people. around me. But appreciate you guys, and hey, leave them down the comments if you so desire.

Starting point is 00:17:21 All right. Clean clap, there we go. Jay Rushden, thank you so much for jumping in. Neighbors. Speaking of geographical neighbors, would you guys ever visit Canada or Mexico? Definitely not. Either one. Not about it. Yeah, I would

Starting point is 00:17:36 love to. Mexico is the only place I have ever visited outside the country at this point in time as a few Really? Yeah. Been to Mexico. one time. Never been to Canada. I would love to go to Canada. Oh, dude. I would also love to go to Canada. Go back to Mexico. I'll go Canada first time. I've only been to Mexico

Starting point is 00:17:52 technically on cruises, but I would love to just go just to see what it's like overall. You know, particularly, preferably the parts that aren't run by the cartel. But the other parts, yeah, I'd be down for that. Same thing with Canada.

Starting point is 00:18:08 I don't know what's going on over there. I need to try some authentic Canadian bacon. Some authentic. authentic maple syrup. Some authentic poutine. Yes, yes. Go to the land of Drake and Ryan Reynolds. See what's going on over there.

Starting point is 00:18:23 That's what I'm trying to find a grout. There was one time there was a guy being surveilled by a private eye on our block. Oh. Never really found out what it was about, though. Private eye. Watching you. Private eye. They're watching you, watching you.

Starting point is 00:18:40 Oh. You know that song? Yes and. What? That's a great song. If only, you have to send it to me afterwards. I will. But, yeah, absolutely. Canada, Mexico. Let's do it.

Starting point is 00:18:52 Sign me up. Thank you so much, Jay. All righty. Moving right along. Lots of questions for other movies. Neighbors. Here we go. Jaden Rhodes. Thank you so much for chiming in.

Starting point is 00:19:08 Neighbors. I love to see Seth Rogen in this role because 10 years prior, I feel like he would have been the Dave Franco, he would have been Dave Franco's character while Zach Efron would be played by James Franco. But how did y'all feel about Seth Rogen playing this type of role?

Starting point is 00:19:24 I would agree. I mean, this is, yeah, it's the perfect way for him, or it's a very conscientious way, for him to be in, again, you know, a kind of comedy that he got famous for making, a very raunchy, you know, sort of character, banter-based comedy, but also, yeah, to embrace.

Starting point is 00:19:43 race the fact that he's a bit older now he's in a different walk of life and so yeah instead of being the young you know irreverent dude he's the middle-aged irreverent dude and it works yeah i thought it worked great yeah absolutely i would like to see more of these mature immature comedy well considering this movie is now 11 years removed from the time we're watching it it's only going to get more mature that's right that's right get him in like you know four 1K mode in the next one. Check in with them in their 50s when they're moving into a retirement home

Starting point is 00:20:19 next day. People in their 50s moving to retirement home. I think that's all for our Q&A today. Thank you guys so much for chiming in. I'm sorry we didn't have any more bad neighbor. I'm going to just be racking my brain the rest of the day for bad neighbor stories, but any other stray thoughts on the film? No.

Starting point is 00:20:35 I thought it was a great time, really funny. I think everybody had great chemistry. Some characters are out of pocket and I'm excited to see more of them. Absolutely. I enjoyed the main cast. Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen have great chemistry. I love that Roseburn is so game for so much comedy, especially because, like, you know, my main introduction and association with her was through dramatic work. Yeah. She's a great dramatic actress. And oftentimes, you know, people with those level of chops can make comedy that much funnier. Eich Berenholz was crazy in this. You know, Zach F. Ron, obviously really funny. And the supporting cast of characters, I think Dave Frank. and Zach Evron

Starting point is 00:21:16 had a really fun relationship and there were just elements that didn't quite go the way I was expecting the escalation made a lot of sense and the fact that it doesn't end off in a way where it's like oh you know what actually we are going to live next door with each other in harmony you know it makes me wonder what neighbors too could be

Starting point is 00:21:32 and you know how they will maneuver you know these characters back together but yeah I thought it was really fun comedy it was you know like you see certain people on screen like Chris Minz Plus or drug Carmichael Hannibal Burris I like that they all got moments Part of you is like oh man cool they're going to be part of the ensemble

Starting point is 00:21:49 It's not so much of an ensemble movie that way Like it's really kind of like The triangle at the center is Seth Rogen Roseburn And Zach Efron and then you have you know your sort of cluster Of supporting characters who are fun Like Lisa Kudrow fun to have them appear Not the main focus though But yeah like very much lived up to the raunchy

Starting point is 00:22:09 Fratboy friggin vibe And yeah like and just a sort of character debate about, you know, yeah, growing up, accepting that you're growing older, not wanting to grow older. I thought the little crossroads represented by the space between their two houses and what the two lifestyles represent was like kind of nice within all these crazy hijinks.

Starting point is 00:22:29 Yeah, they're both in their own way represented fear of change and fear of the next chapter, which I appreciated, you know, it kind of took a turn for Zach Efron's character towards the second half of the movie for that being the pivot rather than, you know, being, be able to maintain the legacy of the party but then underneath that was fear of what happens beyond the party so yeah I think they added some

Starting point is 00:22:49 nice nuance and real life concerns and fears for people that are of that life and of that age and same for the parents so yeah it was truthful in its own way but also ridiculous in the best way absolutely and to close us out

Starting point is 00:23:06 I'm going to tell you a cool neighbor's story has happened to me I don't live in this place anymore, and neither does the person who this was about, but I was out for a walk, my mom, like a long time ago, and we were strolling up, you know,

Starting point is 00:23:21 this one little cul-de-sac street, and all of a sudden, this car rolls out of the drive, backs out of the driveway, and, you know, we're turning around the cul-de-sac, didn't think much of it, but by the time we got back down to the halfway point of the street, couldn't help but notice, this car is just chilling here, just kind of chilling where the curb meets

Starting point is 00:23:38 the street, you know, that little, like, you know, point where the radiance starts. So the tires are just resting on that, and it's at an angle. And I'm like, okay, this is very strange. Someone, did they get out? Do they move? Car's not running. Cars not moving at all. Cars are doing nothing. So we're like, okay, this is strange.

Starting point is 00:23:54 There's no evidence of people here, except for the fact that this car backed out. And when we were walking up the street, it looked kind of like someone was actually backing out their car. Not so. So I went to the front door. And I was looking through the window. I was like, oh, dang, Houdini posters and shit. This is crazy. So I knock on the door,

Starting point is 00:24:10 wait for a couple seconds. And, you know, ready to tell the person that, you know, go get their car. Who should come to the door? But Neil Patrick Harris. What? And it was just one of those things. And I was like, your car. We just found the car on the street.

Starting point is 00:24:27 And he was like, oh, my God, thank you so much. And he, like, ran out and fixed the car. And that was that. And that wasn't the first neighbor story that came to your mind. But it's a good neighbor. Like, it's not a bad neighbor's story. It's a good neighbor's story. So, near Patrick Harris, was your neighbor?

Starting point is 00:24:40 For a brief moment. for a brief shining moment and his house was a really cool Halloween stop. They would do cool things in the garage. He just had Houdini posters everywhere? He just had Houdini post. He's a big magic guy. He's well renowned as a magicman.

Starting point is 00:24:55 He's like on the board of the Magic Castle I think even too. I would have never guessed that was at the door. That's who was at the door is that clue. Would it make sense? NPH-H bro. Freaking-Aid, dude. Maybe the, you know, private eyes were watching him trying to see what next project was coming out.

Starting point is 00:25:11 I'm trying to get those way before the Matrix resurrections so they wouldn't be able to get those secrets. But anyway, that was a fun neighbor's story. That was a very delightful neighbor's story. But yeah, leave all your good and bad neighbor stories in the comments below, and we will catch you hopefully for neighbors too at some point and whatever else is coming your way.

Starting point is 00:25:31 Much love, people. Do you well. Duce's. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:25:53 Thank you.
