Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey react to and review the outrageous 2013 apocalyptic horror comedy This is the End, written and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Known for its wild mix of raunchy humor, meta satire, and shocking horror elements, the film follows a group of celebrities playing exaggerated versions of themselves as they face the literal end of the world while trapped inside James Franco’s Hollywood mansion. The cast features an all-star lineup of comedic talent, including James Franco (127 Hours, Pineapple Express) as himself, Seth Rogen (Superbad, Knocked Up) as himself, Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street, Superbad) as himself, Jay Baruchel (How to Train Your Dragon, She’s Out of My League) as himself, Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down, Tropic Thunder) as himself, and Craig Robinson (The Office, Hot Tub Time Machine) as himself. The film also features scene-stealing cameos from Emma Watson (Harry Potter, Beauty and the Beast), Michael Cera (Arrested Development, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), Rihanna (Ocean’s 8), and Channing Tatum (21 Jump Street, Magic Mike). Some of the most talked-about and highly searched moments include Michael Cera’s shocking death scene, Emma Watson wielding an axe, the demonic possession of Jonah Hill, Danny McBride’s insane power struggle over food supplies, and the Backstreet Boys’ unforgettable Heaven finale. Combining horror, satire, celebrity self-parody, and end-of-days spectacle, This is the End has become a cult comedy classic that balances absurd laughs with surprising scares. Join Aaron & John as they break down the wildest jokes, biggest surprises, and goriest moments in this one-of-a-kind comedy horror hybrid!

Saturdays comes your way

on a horror Thursday or sci-fi Sunday
who knows but either way
You knows.
Also, big thanks to the team over at Prepper
for taking on the hellish task of
chopping these highlights down, getting them visible up on YouTube,
blurring all the things we cannot show you here.
Contrary to popular belief, we don't like censoring stuff.
But that's the only way to get up on YouTube.
So props to them for cutting around.
All of the suggestive imagery, all of the coarse language,
all of the various suggestive scenarios brought to pass.
We appreciate them mightily.
Thanks, Preper Team.
Also, if you happen to be listening to this talk portion, this review, this assessment on a podcast platform if you're choosing, go ahead, leave us a little bit of a rating if you could.
We would very much appreciate you doing that.
Our run, as we await to see if a post-credit scene makes its way our way.
How are you feeling just some basic thoughts before we hop into the patron questions?
We'll let those guide most of our chat here, as we are.
often do. But yeah, first impressions of this is the end as the movie washes over you.
Credits roll. How you feel? I thought it was fun. It was definitely a interesting ride, to say
the least. There are a lot of funny bits, but I wouldn't say all of the comedy landed for me.
Some of it aged not great, but you know. What do you mean?
But still, it was a fun time. It's interesting you're getting a meta.
a movie like this years after it was intended to come out because of that factor it's like
specifically in like the 20 early 2010s um but yeah you know i enjoyed all the actors in it and
it was just it felt like a uh like a fun film that's friends wanted to make it i felt like truly
like a friend's project that nobody necessarily asked for this movie but like you know what
we want to bring this to you guys because we all love each other we want an excuse to work together again
And we're going to present it to the people.
And you know what?
I felt that, that energy, that dynamic, that camaraderie on screen.
And filmed on location in Louisiana.
Wow.
Look at you.
Silly shit.
I would have never thought it so.
That is wild.
Oh, Alex Pardee, too.
Let's go.
Hey.
I mean, you know, that's movie magic right there.
But also, Loll, Hollywood Hills movie.
Hollywood, Los Angeles, Louisiana movie.
Anyway.
Yeah, well, I'll say I liked it well enough.
I wouldn't say it's in my top Seth Rogen comedies, but I wouldn't say it's at the bottom tier either.
It's like right there nicely in the middle sector.
So it's above your highness is what you're saying.
I haven't seen your highness.
I couldn't even.
Need it too.
I have not seen it.
Hey, maybe we watch it here.
But yeah, I wouldn't say I like it as much as neighbors, but I'm sure it's better than some of the other not as fond ones.
But yeah, that's my short thoughts.
What about you, man?
What do you think?
No post credits?
Wow.
They made it to heaven.
There's nothing after heaven.
It's it.
I suppose.
They're just going to dance forever.
I thought they could get one more dick joke in on us or one more like, I don't know,
Jonah Hill bit of hijinks or something like that.
But it's fine.
I guess I'll just share my thoughts on this film and not be rewarded for caring about who made it.
The jinx are as high as they could possibly be.
Dude, the stakes could not be higher.
And people really showed up to ask questions about this movie.
Oh, wow, really fake boy your questions today.
Yeah, I mean, this was definitely quite a madcap experience.
I think the thing I appreciate the most right now is just that this does feel like kind of a unique once in a maybe generation kind of movie where like clearly all these guys had to be kind of on a hot streak simultaneously and, you know, they're already in so many other movies and there's, you know, this growing lane of these.
you know, Judd Apatow produced and then, you know, further down the line, very much associated with like Seth Rogen comedies and stuff like that as he and Evan Goldberg start to become more prominent voices. And so, yeah, it's like all that kind of coming together and then this equating to me to being, yeah, something of a dream project of like, what would we do now that we're all like sort of able to cash in that sort of chip of like, okay, here's some kind of crazy project that would never get made unless we were all fortunately in the right position with.
It seems like they were.
So, yeah, I kind of admire the audacity of it and the kind of fun abandon of it
and everyone being game to show up and, you know, make fun of themselves.
Take the piss out of themselves, as the Brits would say.
I think, you know, your mileage varies on how much you like each of these guys,
how much you like this kind of comedy.
It's definitely a movie.
I felt a bit of the runtime during, but I admire it, even if I wasn't all.
always like, yes, this is 100% my humor.
Sometimes it was, and certainly there were some moments that were just so kind of wild that you can't help but laugh.
So I certainly had a good time.
Yeah, I don't know if this is my favorite kind of movie or my favorite flavor of comedy,
but I can definitely appreciate what they've done here.
So, hey, let's jump into some Q&A without further ado.
Thank you guys all so much for jumping in.
Let's see.
Let's just start at the bottom slash the top
and move our way on up.
Let's see.
We'll start with Linden Miller.
This movie has always been one of my favorite comedies.
Glad to hear that.
I have to ask, which actor playing themselves
do you guys think was the funniest version of themselves?
Hmm.
Definitely Michael Sarah.
Yeah, it's hard to beat Michael Sarah, honestly.
It's hard to beat him because, yeah, he's so unhinged.
And, like, he gets a lot of really good bits before they, like, murk him off the top.
And he is memorable past that point.
You are kind of thinking of him.
Yeah, and especially because in that era, the early 2010s era of Michael Sarah,
he's still, like, he's like the innocent guy.
So for him to be so extreme is just so funny.
and that's one of the things for me that still holds up today
because he just has that baby face kind of look to him
so for him to be so vile and just debauchrous
was insane and hilarious and I think it will always be hilarious
I think there's some kind of viral story that Rihanna tells about like
smack at him or somebody tells about them being in the scene
and like they had some kind of
they worked out some kind of game and he's like oh can I do this
and she's like yeah if you let me smack you
and apparently she like
full on like smack them
in whatever scene
I don't think we got that here
I'm not sure
but yeah
Michael Michael Sarah
definitely was like a scene
stealer up top
in terms of the core cast
in the house
I would say
Craig may have been
the funniest person
who didn't like
I think Danny is like
transcendent in just
how unhinged and wild
he is as a character
and like there are times
certainly intentionally where you're like
where you're like overwhelmed
by him and he becomes so vile
and so belligerent and so
sort of
he's
he's a very sort of I don't know what word I'm trying
to look for other than like libertarian
he has this kind of like
very
I don't know he's very
much embracing the anarchic
spirit of just like hey there's no more rule
of society's collapsed I'm just going to do my
shit and you know if you guys have a problem
with that then we can fight about it and just yeah being so unhinged was very striking and i felt
like he yeah definitely like took this and ran with it as a character i uh caricatured version of
himself yeah and i'll say he probably is also my my secondary follow-up because like all of them
were cool but none of them i guess outside of him were extremely outrageous like you can
make an argument like jonah hill was like putting on a persona but i feel like
Like, Dan McBride definitely was the most chaotic out of that, that core six of dudes.
And just the, the, when they're having the come-off conversation with him and Jonah, Jonah Hill.
I was with him, James Franco, was really great.
Yeah, and I'm sure they'll ask us what our favorite bit is later on, but I already have mine in mind.
Okay.
All right, all right.
Well, then let's move on down the line.
let's see beast games contestant number five if that is true well done on competing in beast
i don't know how far you've gone honestly i haven't seen beast games unfortunately but i will have to
watch it now that you're here to support you uh this is the end is so slept on it's my favorite
comedy next to the wolf of wall street wow yeah okay two movies exploring certain versions of excess
for sure yeah um but out of as far as raunchy comedies go which ones are your guys personal
Favorites. Favorite raunchy comedies.
I like the First American Pie. We watched First American Pie. That was really fun.
Yeah, American Pie was a good one. That series surprised me a couple times in, yeah, having a good amount of heart to go along with the raunch.
I mean, super bad. I always remember when that movie came out, and that movie was like such a moment.
And that was a great example of how a movie could be like super duper raunchy, but also have, like, again, a lot of heart.
and have, like, more filmmaking in mind than you might expect, I guess.
Oh, I love Wedding Crashers.
I watched that with Tara.
Yeah, Wedding Crash is a good one.
I mean, it's not crazy, Ranshee, but I'm a big fan of my love you, man.
I think that movie's hilarious.
21 Drumsheet is awesome.
I want to watch Harold and Kumar.
Me too, dude.
I don't remember anything about them.
I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying to think.
Love Book Smart.
Oh, see, that's another one I got to see.
We had some real fun, Tara and I watched some of the scary movies.
which, you know, are certainly raunchy
in their, you know,
Madcap parodyness.
I mean, you know, gold member.
It's pretty great.
Austin Powers 3.
The hangover movies.
You're pretty raunchy.
Yeah.
I'm just trying to think.
Yeah, there are more good ones,
but those are the ones that I think upon.
I'm like, yeah.
I want to see bottoms.
I think bottoms is really fun.
I like the bottoms a lot.
Hey, you like bottoms.
You know what?
Not another teen movie, actually, was better than I expected.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
We did watch that one.
That was fun.
But, yeah, I guess faves probably, like, yeah, super bad or I love you, man, I want to say.
Still need to watch I love you, man, and knocked up.
American wedding was pretty great from the American Pie franchise.
Or, no, was it Reunion?
What was the last one?
Reunion was great also.
I think the first one in reunion, but I think Reunion is my favorite out of all of them.
Yeah, leave us your favorite raunchy comedies, though.
There's a lot in that lane to pick from.
Appreciate your chiming in.
Clayton Crook.
What was your favorite interaction or cameo
from the party at the beginning of the movie?
Anybody else or any other exchanges besides Michael Sarah?
Ollie, so sadly, died too.
Very unsettling.
I was hoping he'd be part of it.
I think the scene with Christopher Ments' plots
where it's like the super bad guys
reunites yeah that was pretty fun um goodness kevin hart was fun yeah yeah yeah yeah i enjoyed
because he died trying to get aziz and sorry off of him yeah because he didn't want to save him and then he
dies anyway and the whole thing with david crum holds where he and j are going back and forth like grab my hand
and i'll swing you across okay you sure you sure you can support my body weight yes grab my hand
but you're sure though my entire weight and then the second they reach
as I just falls right in.
This is very funny.
Very funny.
That was awesome.
Yeah.
That whole thing.
I mean, the gluten joke is like well played out by now as we're watching this.
And even by then, with like a very common joke.
But the hard cut to them just throwing down on Carl's Jr.
That you know has got to be like glutened the fudge up.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, this is a very funny cut.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of anybody else comes to mind.
Jason Siegel talking to Kevin Hart.
Yeah, it was pretty funny too.
But yeah, leave us your favorite
interactions from the first part
of the movie. I'm trying to think of any other
celebrity cameos were in there. There were a couple
of people who were just in the background
who, you know, I know
I've seen in other
places that seemed...
The thing with the guy... Oh, but that's not even
from the beginning part, never mind. I'll save that for
some other thing. The guy at the door.
But anyway, appreciate
y'all.
Haina Ali
Which celebs would you like to be stuck in a house with during the apocalypse?
It doesn't have to be celebs from this film.
I would probably pick Keanu just because absolutely.
Keanu Reeves would be a good one.
Let's see.
Who else?
Maybe
Willie Nelson.
Good chill dude to have at your friggin apocalypse.

John Brunthall
he lets us take naps
sure
he doesn't know he's anti-nap
John Berthal
hates naps
he does not believe
in naps
okay why is he so
I don't know
he thinks it's just
he thinks it's a waste of time
he's like vendetta
depends on the day
depends on a lot
of things
I think that's a decent amount
I'm sure I got other people in mind
I can't think of at the moment
Ethan Hawk
Okay
Um let's see
Child is gonna be no be on there
That'd be a cool one Donald Glover
Would be cool to hang out with
Um

He'd be a chill guy to hang out with the apocalypse.

Your thoughts on who else should come
and shout to Sardinia, Gabriel!
Reject Nation, at the start of this year, I was sitting in over 20% body fat, 218 pounds of his end of January.
As of a couple weeks ago, finally took the photos I've been talking about it all year.
I completed the mission.
Six-pack abs came in, 8% body fat, 170 pounds.
You could check out all the transformations on Instagram, but that's not why I'm here today.
I'm here today to tell you that a big part of how I accomplished that journey was about staying.
consistent with my nutrition.
And the best way to do this is by keeping things simple, like having a
Hewell Black Edition ready to drink a complete meal in a bottle.
Have these a couple times a week.
That first crack.
It's always amazing.
It's a full meal in a bottle packed with 40 grams of protein.
27 vitamins and minerals, slow release carbs, low sugar, no prep, no cleanup.
Just shake it and go.
I've got a fridge full of these.
We've got three fridges and they're all full of them.
I'd like to grab them on shoot days, gym days.
or I'm just too damn tired to cook, which is an often Greg thing.
But more importantly, they taste good.
Chocolate and vanilla.
Classics are my go-toes.
Smooth taste like actual milkshake.
But they got a whole bunch of other flavors you can catch on their website.
Plus, it's under three bucks a meal, which has helped my gains and my budget.

Ironically asking
a question about heaven, what band
do you hope would greet you in
heaven and what band do you fear
would greet you in purgatory?
Oh boy, that's a tricky one.
In heaven, I feel like you would have like a super
group. It's got to be like Prince and
Ozzy and freaking a bunch of other
people. Brent Hines is there.
I don't know.
Who else has passed if not long ago?
Yeah, which band is going to greet you in heaven?
That's tough.
I don't know about a lot of bands.
It's a very tough one.
Well, I mean, in this case, the Backstreet Boys hadn't all died.
So I think we can ride the rapture wave.
If you want to get raptured and you hope another musical artist is also raptured, who would it be greeting?
Like, okay, it's a band that already exists.
It would be guerrillas greeting me in heaven.
and the actual band could be there,
but I want the characters to greet me first.
I want the entire cast of Hamilton to greet me.
Definitely.
Definitely.
That's a good call.
I think that would be a very fun heaven.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
And they're just, they're all, like,
like, have that mental connection.
So they don't even have to do the songs from Hamilton.
They can make up their own songs.
Like, just the heavenly songs on the spot.
And Lynn Manuel Miranda is, like, improvving.
freestyling raps in the moment
and they're all like
joining in and dancing
and then they have
their own verses that they're saying
that he like wrote but planted in their
own brains it'd be a great time
hell yeah dude that's what I want I like to sound
of that leave us yours in the
comments below what purgatory
oh in purgatory what band would I fear
would greet me in purgatory
ooh
this is a good question
who's a band that's never done anything
for me. I feel like in purgatory
it's got to be a band that you're very ambivalent
about, right? Or should it be a band
that would actively
aggravate you?
That's a tricky one.
I feel like if I was in high school I would have better
answers for this because I
actively disliked more things back
then. I feel like the edgy answer
to say is Nickelback, but I actually don't hate Nickelback.
Yeah, like, I don't know. Everybody's
to be popular as shit on Nickelback. I'm like,
they're not bad.
yeah who i fear greeting me in purgatory um i don't know like tom macdonald or something
like one of those dudes who's just like out here angry making music about being angry but not in a way
that's like cathartic just like purgatory or hell yeah this is purgatory is like the liminal
space between the two yeah yeah yeah so part of me is like what i just is this a band that i just
kind of like would be completely tepid
about like completely kind of
not angry but just kind of like
indifferent. Yeah it's like I can't
get any satisfaction from this. I'm just bored
trying to think of who that would be
it's a tricky one. The purgatory ban
is a tricky one honestly. Yeah that's harder than
hell because I don't know I think I can think of hell
who I would think would be there.
I don't like. Who don't I like?
I don't know. That's tough.
You know what? Pergatory 30 seconds to Mars.
yeah oh there you go that's a great one yeah that's a great one or uh or that side project that
tom do long started where like every time i hear the song title i'm like this is going to sound
badass and then it just kind of sounds like a soundtrack to some some sci-fi movie that thinks it's
more profound than it is oh i don't know angels and airwaves that band no i'll go with you i'm with
you what'd you say it's a 30 seconds 30 seconds to mars would definitely be a good one
that's definitely the band
I don't want to see
a purgatory
thank you very much
I will pass
I would rather see Nickelbag
you at least
get the beach ball
going at that
at that show
hell give me creed any day
that's funny
all righty
thank you Gabe
Kevby
if you were suddenly
trapped in that
celebrity apocalypse house
which actors
quote real personality
would you trust
or avoid the most
and how long
do you honestly think
you'd survive in that group before losing it in that group of people i lose it pretty fast they
they seem like a tough group to yeah as this movie documents it they seem like a tough group to
chill with i feel like it'd be okay relatively until dana mcbride got there then i probably
have to get out i would try yeah i would trust craig the most i i i i it's weird it's like danny you
kind of know what to do, not what to do, but he's so chaotic and so maniacal in some ways that
you kind of get it. Whereas like a Franco, I don't know, man. I'm like, I don't know if I trust
you, man. Yeah. I don't know what's lurking under your, you know, like, you know,
nice guy demeanor or whatever, you know, like Jonah, the Jonah personality. But do you feel
like you would pick up that in the moment or only the knowledge of what we know now from 2025?
You know, it's a fair question.
I probably wouldn't have it
as strongly. But as he presents
himself here, I mean, he is not
He's kind of in the middle
of savoriness. No, he didn't. He almost did, but then
yeah. It'd be petty about it. And he just had
to be petty. Yeah. But
I don't know, Danny McBride, yeah, seems like
the fastest track to getting yourself
maimed or killed would be just to hang around
him for a few minutes. Yeah, I think out
of these guys, I think Seth and
Craig Robinson are the only people I'd actually
kick it with. Seth and Craig, I would, yeah, I would
at least trust i mean i might trust jay but i don't know if he would really care that much about me i'm just like
an energy vampire i'm just like negative about a lot of shit yeah i don't want to want to be around him
team craig team set yeah that's that's probably how that shakes out but leave us your thoughts
oh and we also got a little bit trivia from kev i love a little bit trivia uh actually here's
what we'll do we'll read these last two questions and we'll circle back around for trivia at the
very end. There we go. All right. Jay Rushden. So, you guys watch the studio yet. And what's
your take on Seth Rogen with Apple and the big awards win? Question. Also, what song would
you like to see in the credits there? Oh, man. I have not seen the studio yet. Same here.
For a clip it or two. Back when it was airing, I think there was like, okay, maybe you shouldn't do it
because maybe what if, what if you end up in this position skipping a lot of things just in case,
because it seems like it would be fun to do a reaction or whatever.
So, yeah, as of yet, I have not seen the studio, would love to.
I'm psyched that they won so many awards.
I know a lot of people love the show.
Yeah, let us know if you guys want us to react to the studio.
And what song in the credits?
I'm going to take it, you mean, like, for this movie, not for the studio.
Like, what song would I like to see in a credits for this kind of a hell, you know, comedy?
That's a great question.
Um, what lurks on Channel X by Rob Zombie?
It just seems like the crushing vibe of a movie like this.
For, oh, what song I want in the credits of this movie?
I think so.
I mean, like, the studio would be much harder to comment on
because I don't know really what tone I would go for.
I feel like there's a funnier choice I could be making on this.
Mine is the one creed song.
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see.
It's my credit song.
Definitely, Creed.
I take it back.
I support you.
I think Creed's the way to go.
Yeah.
If something else comes to me, I'll let you know.
But yeah, we're going to Crewe on this one.
Thanks for the question.
Yeah.
Jaden Rhodes.
Love this movie.
For a while, this was a comfort movie for me.
I think all the actors play off each other so well.
But my question is, do y'all have an actor that stood out to y'all the best or a person?
It was just the most funny.
For me personally, it's Danny McBride.
Cannibalism scene will always make me roll with Lafferterre.
Absolutely.
I would say probably, honestly, like Danny McBride is in some ways like the most galvanizing character
and like his intro is really fun
and it's like oh shit
act one down now we have a whole new
character to contend with and
in terms of like
people playing characters
on screen I thought yeah he like
his performance sang
as like as chaotic as he is and as
much as after a while you're like I don't want
I would not want to be around you
at the same time like his audacity
and like just the the fearlessness
of his vileness as a character
is very striking and I got
applaud him for that because again
in a movie where people are playing
like caricature funny versions of themselves
or you know takes on themselves
you know gloves off for him
like really no holds barred
yeah no I think
him and Jonah uh not Jonah Hill
Michael Sarah and Kevin Hart
for Kevin Hart's fun moment
that was hilarious and then
yeah every second that Michael Sarah
was on screen had me dying but it's
far as like the main cast, Danny McBride is definitely
the most standout of all of them. Yeah.
And yeah, that scene with the cannibal stuff was really
funny. Thank God. All the
self. Bless, bless
all the set designs, all the
costume work, all the, you know,
crazy bones in hand. Like, there's some
stuff in there that I want to go back and like scrub
and examine just for the little details alone.
But yeah,
there's a lot in that
cannibalism moment alone that was
just like bonks. And they like
eat Franco's face. It's crazy. Yeah.
Narlay.
So, yeah, leave us your takes on who stood out the best.
Finally.
A little trivia from Kev B.
Two quick facts.
Michael Sarah actually, oh, here we go.
Here we go.
Michael Sarah actually asked Rihanna if he could slap her butt for real during filming,
and she agreed on the condition that she got to slap him across the face for real.
And I guess they shot that.
I don't really recall seeing that.
It wasn't there.
Was it there?
Yeah, she's left a shit out of them.
Oh, yeah, because we see that across the room, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember seeing her slapping him.
Yeah, yeah, I remember seeing her slap him, not the other way around.
But, yeah, I guess that was, yeah, a real friggin, real, I don't know, haymaker.
There you go.
And the massive sinkhole scene in This Is the End was filmed on a full-scale practical set built on a soundstage,
allowing the actors to physically fall and react,
which made the panic feel much more real than relying completely on CG.
eye. That's wild. I would love to see
the BTS of what that looked like.
Yeah. It did look kind of real the single.
Yeah, it did. And to segue
into the final sort of thoughts here, I do
want to at least touch on. Like, yeah,
as far as a comedy
goes, this one does
seem a bit special
circumstantially because it seems
like they had a budget for this, not only
to get all these dudes together, who I'm
sure would be willing to work something out
for the opportunity of making this
madcap, like, yeah, get together with your friends,
and a bunch of expensive equipment
and let's make a movie.
You know,
like the professional grade equivalent
of a backyard movie with your friends.
And, yeah, I appreciated that
while, yeah, there are times
where you can feel the scenes
in certain sequences and stuff.
It's not like it's got the full budgetary,
you know,
breadth that, you know,
a more high profile
sci-fi horror movie might.
But at the same time, yeah, like the demons
I thought looked pretty good for the most part.
and they did a good job of making this feel like a sort of hellish apocalypse scenario.
They used a lot of the fun, like the, you know, house elements when they're trapped in a fun way,
and then, you know, what little glimpses you get of the outside are pretty nicely handled.
There are a lot of, like, fun sight gag details in the backgrounds of places and stuff like that.
They sold the circumstance well, and they had some solid, yeah, a budget to render some sets and some effects in a way.
way that might have looked jankier in a, you know, movie with lesbians.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I need a great job.
Yeah.
Some fun needle drops, good ensemble.
Yeah, definitely.
Not my 100% like my favorite flavor of comedy because it's a lot of just like angry
guys stuck together being odd coupley and, you know, ragging on each other.
And, you know, there's a mean streak there.
But, you know, I found this also appropriately fun and silly and wacky and, you know,
audacious and you know once they finally get to heaven at the end there is a bit of relief and you
were like oh you know like they did it and i do like that it seems like they as much as there's a lot
of improv and i'm sure this movie was largely made in the editing room in some respects this is
definitely a movie where you know you're relying heavily on improv and i could feel the time some
of the time uh but for that fact they also put in a fair amount of you know some pathos with
especially Seth and Jay.
And I appreciate that, you know, at least it had to come back around to like, no, we got to, if we're going to be saved, we need to, you know, find some means of doing something redeemable in order to do that.
And, yeah, that whole bit where, like, Franco loses that opportunity or, yeah, Rogan is trying to ride Jay up the thing when he's really got to, you know, make that path for himself.
I thought there was some nice flourishes in here amongst the craziness.
100%.
Yeah, no, I think they did.
are all really
they did
you know
they did
they did it did they did they did a good job
I didn't love the movie
I thought there was a lot of funny moments
I think my favorite bit was probably them kicking the head
around
a bit of dark
that poor guy that guy was very funny
that actor whoever that guy is
and then like the what's it called
his one line about like
like he'll like
suck him off good or something like that
Or, like, get the, like, titty fuck over something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
It's great.
But, yeah.
So for some reason, yeah, this is not my favorite,
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg collaboration as far as things go, but I think it was still
really fun.
And, yeah, I would show people this movie.
I would watch it to show people who haven't seen it before, show how crazy Michael
Sarah is.
but yeah overall it was a good time absolutely dude shouts out to brian husky stealing that scene
brian husky he's in a bunch of stuff he's in a freaking commercial too he's somebody's mascot so uh yeah
we did it we we ended it up we this is the ended uh shouts out to every celebrity who stopped by
to lend their talents to this uh martin star i'm sorry we didn't clock you in there uh man hope paul rudd's
still alive and well out there.
Also,
Thunderbolts totally stole the poster for this movie.
They did, dude. Totally. Oh, my God.
This is the Thunderbolts, more like.
But yeah, gang, leave us your thoughts on this
is the end, and we'll catch you
on the next one. Oh, Evan Goldberg
was in there uncredited.
Wow. So many uncredited people in this movie.
Jason Segel, uncredited.
J. Troe, Uncredited.
B. Trow, Brandon Tross, who shot the movie
uncredited. Sid Wilder,
who we collabed with way back
in the day, also in this movie.
That's just crazy. Well, anyway, gang,
leave us your thoughts on this is the end. Thank you for
joining us on this raunchy
edition of Comedy Saturday.
Or romance, really.
It's Channing Tatum, Danny McBride, romance
for the ages. Anyway, stay
safe out there. Save your soul
and we'll catch you on the next one.
Don't go to hell.
Thank you.
