Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, friends. As we put the finishing touches on our next exciting adventure for you, we thought it was the perfect time to replay our second season of the podcast where we watch Sex and the City 2 every week for a year, hot off the back of the tragic news that and just like that will not be returning. Please enjoy. It's the worst idea of all time It's the worst idea of all time It's the worst idea of all time Season two Hello ladies and gentlemen
Starting point is 00:00:43 Welcome to the worst idea of all time Episode 19 We've just watched Sex in the City 2 For the 19th time That is 100% accurate Tim My name is Tim Bat My name is Guy Montgomery I am so
Starting point is 00:01:00 relieved it's over you were so angry this watch guy worried about what lies in front of us if you've just um for the first time stumbled across this little pedcoast of ours um this is a podcast where for one reason or another myself and guy watched the same movie
Starting point is 00:01:16 every week for a year and we've already done it once we did it with grown-ups too an adam seaman movie um which was like reasonably painful but we thought we knew pain you said 15 minutes into this movie you said god on I'd love to get my dick wet in a bit of grown-ups, too. That wasn't for sharing on the mic, but you're absolutely correct. I'll own that.
Starting point is 00:01:36 I did say that. I was in a desperate place. I want to get back there. That is hilarious and insane, but I completely agree. That's the big question I'm asking right now is why. Why what? We've just bitten off too much. We've bitten off far too much.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Way more than we could ever possibly hope to chew. For how funny we thought it would be when we told everyone we were going to to watch sex and city too that is and like most of the reason that decision was made was because of how hilariously long it is yeah and bad as well you can have a good long movie yeah just look at interstellar i've mentioned it before i'll mention it again long movie great movie to look at it as you know as a funny idea because it's really long and that will be hard is fine in theory but in practice it is just unspeakably arduous we were kind of like um you we considered the fact that
Starting point is 00:02:31 the reason why everyone cracked up and thought it was so funny and outrageous when that sex in the city two poster came up we were like, oh great, people are into the idea and now we're like, oh, now we know why this was an insane manoeuvre on our behalf. This was a crazy thing to choose for ourselves. But the misery I feel in this movie on
Starting point is 00:02:49 is I can't necessarily remember how it felt during grownups too, but this feels deeper. It's a more profound sadness. Yes, you're right. It's like a, um, it's dragged out and it's like just dread. It's just, I can't watch this movie without the specter of 33 more viewings hanging over it. You screamed in my house at a very, well, you know, an early part of the day.
Starting point is 00:03:17 You just, you screamed. I let out a primal, a couple times. A primal scream of frustration. Freaked out the cats is what you did. Yeah. Well, the cats will freak me out. That's why I screamed the second time. man alive
Starting point is 00:03:31 the first time was the movie but it's just yeah it's hard I think it's harder to get I think it's harder to get anything good out of this there's just not enough meat on those bones yeah which is weird after two and a half hours of movie
Starting point is 00:03:46 it's like this this movie could easily have not existed but it also easily could have existed in being an hour 25 I reckon you could get pretty much everything in there in an hour 25 what have you got to get in
Starting point is 00:04:00 there you got to get in you got to get in yeah okay unhappy you got to get in main bits of the movie we've got a gay wedding to start so we spend three minutes there probably if we trim the fat three and a half minutes i reckon oh no we open on the jewelry store i like what they've done with the pace there at the opening of the movie that's all good that is misleading oh wait it's not is it a jewelry store yeah it's a bird off goodman or something like that so we're at the jewelry store and it's a very efficient piece of storytelling boom we're at the wedding boom we only need to Burt the wedding for, yeah, let's say four minutes. Then we've got a quick, hilarious shot of Samantha having sex with Nicky, the concrete layer.
Starting point is 00:04:37 You're going to lose that. Oh, it's a good visual gag. We don't even spend too long on it. We can just, we'll have that. And it's a good bit of flavour. And it sets up Carrie's amazing line because we've got Rose who's screaming and yelling, which is Charlotte's child, and we've got Samantha screaming in ecstasy, and then the big says, I don't know what's worse, Samantha with a baby, and Carrie hilariously quips.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Samantha the baby will tire eventually That's funny Which is pretty much When Michael Patrick King Wrote that line down Yeah That's when he started getting drunk
Starting point is 00:05:09 To celebrate And wrote the rest of the script Hammered as Pretty much He reversed engineered An entire movie From one decent gag Yeah
Starting point is 00:05:16 Yeah you do get that sense With this film He just hung The entire film on the gag It's like It's one of those movies Where you get the sense That maybe Michael Patrick King
Starting point is 00:05:26 Hanged What? I think hanged is the right word not hung sorry only if you're talking about people like capital punishment for people no I think it's always hanged is it with everything
Starting point is 00:05:36 we hanged out no that doesn't sound we hung out it's hanged if you're doing it to it like if it's the you know you're killing some Michael Patrick King is the writer-director and producer of this film which I've said before
Starting point is 00:05:49 it's always a red flag when you see that coming up in the title credits it's one guy's name who's done everything you're like oh oh this won't end well and it's like what he's done is he's had little visions of stuff that he wants to see in a movie
Starting point is 00:06:01 and then hasn't quite fleshed out how to get there properly and that's what this movie is is like I want a shot of a really lavish hotel in Abu Dhabi and then kind of glossed over a good reason to put them there yeah
Starting point is 00:06:14 and there's just I feel like in that if we follow that theory so he just picked up like he didn't quite know what the movie was when they were shooting so he just picked up a bunch of establishing shots and like you know options and just
Starting point is 00:06:27 he'd just make the actors go on for a bit longer just so he could get extra bits that he might or might not put into the movie because he didn't quite know what he was making What are the visions that gave it to Like what are the frames that stick out for you That go This is what he was going for
Starting point is 00:06:40 Okay you build a movie around The four girls Walking over like Walking into frame over a sand dune But before like let's go see me chronological I want to see Liza Manelli And I want Swans Yeah
Starting point is 00:06:53 Boom gay wedding done Okay I want to see I think that this is that thought is that it would have occurred early because he's like, oh, yeah, that sells our movie. Yeah, that's the, that's Trailer Fodder right there. You know, that gives you everything you want. What else do you want? You want Kim Cottrell having sex? Of course, a given.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Preferably on a Jeep with fireworks exploding in the background. I think that would be a nice bit of pizzazz. Someone really giving it to her on the bonnet, really giving her the business. Yes. And then so we make up this stupid storyline about a Danish architect named. Ricard Spurt Yeah Reverse engineer
Starting point is 00:07:30 Up a storm there There's a lot of Like shows Which have a lot of fun With their names And Sexton City 2 isn't one That like should have Like tonight
Starting point is 00:07:38 Dick Spurt All those all those Mighty Boosh style shows Like Dixon Bainbridge And you know Toast of London Like Richard Toast Whatever his name is
Starting point is 00:07:47 Great names Clem Fandango That's a fun name to say But you can't Like You can't Like that's Can you?
Starting point is 00:07:56 It's one of the few bits of fun in there. It's also so great. It's not a funny name. Like it's not funny, but they've gone for a funny name and just ended up with something really childish and crass. Dick Spurt.
Starting point is 00:08:08 It exists purely for that joke. Could you be any more American? I don't think so. I think that. I had a good, I want to say this while I remember it because I really enjoyed it. I had a late bloomer shining light today. Please.
Starting point is 00:08:25 When Miranda's on the rooftop happily while true colours plays um one of the so she's giving a speech or something at a workplace which is obviously accepted her and i think we've speculated before it's it's a workplace which looks like a sort of like um stock photo oh yeah diverse workplace is meant to look like it is a paint by numbers diverse workplace shot and uh one of the waiters is coming out uh and he drops off like an entire fruit bowl in the middle of a lunch table and they've all got their settings there and stuff yeah And it's just, because, like, all of the fruit is, it's just pears.
Starting point is 00:09:01 He pretty much just dropped them a big bowl of pear, unwashed, unsliced pears in the middle. It's like, this is insane. I love it, I love it. I love the absurdity of it. You don't drop off a fruit bowl, as you said earlier. Fruit bowls is supposed to be there. It's supposed to be there waiting for you. If you go, you walk into a, you know, you walk up to a table.
Starting point is 00:09:20 There's either a fruit bowl already on it or there's not going to be a fruit bowl on the table during the meal. Totally. And never the twigs, never the twain shall meet. You should never see a fruit bowl in transit. That's the rule. Yeah. Fruit bowl needs to be there or fruit bowl needs to not be there. But fruit bowl cannot get there.
Starting point is 00:09:34 I think in the state of New Hampshire, it is a federal, it's a federal law that you cannot have a full fruit bowl in motion. Really? Yeah. Punishable by. I'm not real confident New Hampshire's a state. Newtown or a state? It is, I think New Hampshire is one of those places that is what you want it to be. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:54 It's a mood. It's utopia. It's a vibe. It's a state of mind. Like New Hampshire. New Hampshire, as they call themselves. Yes. Of course, after their state bone, the shin, they're known for this carefree sort of lifestyle.
Starting point is 00:10:12 And this really sort of take it as it comes approach to life. Very happy-go-lucky people. Yeah. I mean, and yeah, it is, if you would identify it as a sort of a normal town before the vibe that it is, that would upset them. I would be surprised you've got some irate letters from New Hampshire It's a state
Starting point is 00:10:32 In the same way that happiness is a state To be a New Hampshire Is just to vibe it Yeah To a state of laissez-faire positivity Yeah New Hampshire
Starting point is 00:10:43 You wear open-toed shoes It's what you want New Hampshire You wear open-toed shoes 10 months of the year What do they do for the other two? No shoes Nothing
Starting point is 00:10:54 Nothing Naked foot yeah that's sexy man you like that yeah I do it's very it's very to walk around we've got a lot in common
Starting point is 00:11:03 with the New Hampshire we've always known this we've always had a very close connection with the New Hampshire's New Hampshire's of course the only other big rugby players
Starting point is 00:11:11 in the world apart from us are they are New Hampshire's huge rugby players big old rugby players really yeah they have a
Starting point is 00:11:21 like an internationally ranked team yeah And you're telling me they're second in the world The New Hampshire Fasants The second rank rugby team in the world Yeah they trade places with England a little bit You know
Starting point is 00:11:34 England's giving them a run for their money You know and years gone by Those New Hampshire is very proud of their rugby heritage Though Tell me that for free I didn't know that about New Hampshire's Yeah well you see we're all learning today We're all learning something new
Starting point is 00:11:48 You also had a cracker of a At the near the end of the film You kind of just zoned back into what Carrie is saying and her mindless diatribe of voiceover and the epilogue of the film. And she pretty much just is like, you know, to try and put a bow on this thing and like, you know, take,
Starting point is 00:12:05 have a takeaway message from it. She's like, you know what? I'm going to treat marriage like that lady in that foreign country treated her knee quab. She put stuff on it. And like, those are your, that's your paraphrasing of what Carrie said. She took the tradition of a knee quab
Starting point is 00:12:19 and jazzed it up. And I'm doing that with marriage. Yeah. So then that's led to, what I hope will take off. Well, this was the working title of the movie. Sex in the City, too. Decals on the knee quab.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Dequel your knee quab. Yeah. Putting decals on the knee quab. That's what this movie's all about. That should have, like, too fast, too furious. That should have been what this was called. Hard out. Sex in the City, two, decals on your knee quab.
Starting point is 00:12:45 On your knee quab. Do you prefer decals on your knee quab or decal your knee quab? Because it's more of an active voice, because there's the verb right in there. I kind of like the latter Dekwab your knee quam It's a word economy Dequab your knee quab Decal your knee quab
Starting point is 00:13:01 I like decarb your knee quam Okay It's nonsensical But you like the rhythm of it You like the time Feels like a line from a Spike Milligan poem It's very New Hampshire You know
Starting point is 00:13:11 It's You just feel it They're hard to understand Because they swap the Back end syllables of words They just run with stuff That feels good to them No respect for the laws of language
Starting point is 00:13:22 God bless them too you know got a lot of time for New Hampshire yeah a lot of time none for this movie anymore I think I've expired
Starting point is 00:13:30 all of my patience in time that I once had for sex in the city too I think it's gone it's gone away it's really razzed me you know yeah it's difficult
Starting point is 00:13:39 what happens now and I think it's appropriate to have total honesty with you kind listener level with me guy
Starting point is 00:13:47 is we watch the movie and you just like it's there's some sort of force field which stops you from actually being able to penetrate at just being something happening in a room
Starting point is 00:13:58 like in the background like I cannot physically I cannot get in the movie it's just and this is with this is this is with Guy and I both looking at the movie not talking to each other looking at the movie I'm not going to say watching
Starting point is 00:14:13 because watching implies that it's getting in there like our eyes are directed at the screen our ears are in tune to what's happening coming out of the speakers but we it you can't our brain have some automatic safety function to them
Starting point is 00:14:27 where they're going don't do it again boys don't do it that's true and you can't get whose head was I pasting oh Bernie Sanders I was just pasting
Starting point is 00:14:35 Bernie Sanders head on all the characters in my brain today for some reason I was seeing him everywhere speaking of New Hampshire but yeah it was everywhere man
Starting point is 00:14:44 there's weird stuff going on in my brain when this movie happens now it's like taking a really minimal acid trip a bad trip it's just there Oh, you sassy cat
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah, I'm a Sex and City 2's review by Guy Montgomery It's like a bad acid trip Well, I was amending it Your review of it was it's like an acid trip Which would, it probably entice some people To at least experiment with it I'm saying this is a class A narcotic We need to get it off the market
Starting point is 00:15:12 Yeah, this is a control film We need to stop selling this stuff to our children Shut it down I wouldn't be comfortable with my children watching this I wouldn't be comfortable with any human in my sphere of influence watching this. If you could make one person in the world watch this movie? Yep.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Who would it be? Gandhi. Oh, do you mean alive? Well, yeah, preferably. Maybe the Dalai Lama, because then I feel like he would see this and then be forced to comment on it, such as the depravity of its consumerism,
Starting point is 00:15:45 and there would be something very satisfying and hilarious about the Dalai Lama having to comment on sex in the city. as a franchise it's just quite funny and the thing that that was influenced by you would be tremendous oh I wouldn't need that I wouldn't need that component to it I know I would know for myself and that's all I need and it's such a you know it's a very long-winded way
Starting point is 00:16:06 of impacting social change yeah it's a long pawn watching sex in the 32s to get the Dalai Lama to mention it one time it'd be worth it though it's a roundabout course of action if something I did I felt like impacted the Dalai Lama
Starting point is 00:16:21 in some way like I'd be pretty stoked but then I guess you know butterfly effects man we're all affecting the Dalai Lama in some way
Starting point is 00:16:27 me going to Subway and getting a 6 inch chicken fillet that's that's had an impact on him yeah he might buy a new car because I bought a 6 inch
Starting point is 00:16:40 chicken fillet from Subway I mean yeah you're picking up what I'm putting down it's probably a Prius because he's conscious about the globe he get a Tesla
Starting point is 00:16:48 oh now we're talking for sure What does the Dalai Lama drive, do you reckon? He doesn't drive. In my head he's on like a horse drawn cart. But that can't be right. He's on a scooter, but one of those scooters with a big windshield. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Like the Pope Mobile, but just the plastic. Open it at the sides. Yeah. So you can get the breeze in. Yeah, I got you. Imagine if the Pope commented on sex in the city, too. Wouldn't that be a trip? Anyway, he's probably walking around commenting on everything.
Starting point is 00:17:19 It wouldn't surprise me. I like this Pope. He'd get home over to one day of, like, denouncing everything Catholicism is stood for forever. Yeah. He'd be tuck it out. He wants to kick back. He turns on the television. Just by chance, sex and the city two's on.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Yeah. He sort of was like, okay, I'll, you know. I've heard bad things. I'm tired. I'll put it on. I'll see. I know my close friend and colleague, the Dalai Lama, has spoken out against this. I should see what all the fuss is about.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Yeah, true. And so then we've got, uh, what's this? I keep thinking it's Benny, but Benny was the last one. Oh, Pope Egs Benny. This one's Francis. Pope Francis, he's got his slippers on. He's in bed. He's in his robe.
Starting point is 00:18:00 He's wearing his slippers in bed. Yeah, he's on top of the bed. He's flopped down. He's on top of the bed. And he's got it on. What's going through his head is the Pope, do you think? He's like, oh, well, you know what? Everything is probably a bit fucked.
Starting point is 00:18:16 So I'll just keep, I'm just going to really throw all my things at this Pope. Pope's ship And Oh you think it would kind of Draw out Another excitement Another burst of energy Yeah I think
Starting point is 00:18:26 Well I think To be like There's so much evil in the world I really need to get out I need to up my game Yeah When there's stuff like sex In the city rolling around
Starting point is 00:18:34 The Pope's got to be on his guard That's what's going through his city too He enjoyed the TV series Oh I didn't know that Yeah He's known for it You know he was a chemist Before he was Pope
Starting point is 00:18:46 Obviously Much before he was Pope yeah he trained as a chemist you're looking at me incredulously like you're trying to determine whether I'm making up a story he's legitimate Pope Francis was a chemist in his earlier days I don't know anything about
Starting point is 00:19:01 despite being the Pope or popes in general but it is insane to me to imagine that someone who's the Pope who I guess in my mind I've always imagined just doesn't work for 80 years and then gets hired like someone was just coasting for 80 years in the hopes that they'll get chosen to be Pope
Starting point is 00:19:17 for a little bit. The hope for Pope yeah that's a lifestyle I think it's almost entirely backwards because you've got to work so hard to make something of yourself to be considered for the papacy I just can't imagine
Starting point is 00:19:30 because everyone's called the papacy papal see all popes are just 80 year old white men right so I can't imagine any of these 80 year old white men as chemists but yeah so he did it when he was in his 20s they're agedless popes
Starting point is 00:19:44 they're born looking as they are when they become pope so they're born like Yoda as a blank canvas but in the body of an 80 year old like a blank mental canvas but in the body of an 80 year old white man huh it's crazy huh i guess up until now we haven't been in like a technological age where photos like a lot of photos could exist of them but you know half a generation forward 30
Starting point is 00:20:09 years from now there'll be these like facebook photos of the current pope growing up and like doing um at their 21st doing yardies and stuff drinking out of gumboots that'll be kind of cool that'll be very humanizing it'll be like the person who's at the center of one of the world's largest religion or the head of one of the world's largest religions hears him doing a yardie
Starting point is 00:20:28 if you don't know what a yardie is by the way for our American compatriots A yard glass of beer A yard glass Like you drink just a stupid amount of beer In one go And it's a condes to see you can do it the fastest Crazy tradition
Starting point is 00:20:40 Because you're grown up now The New Hampshire The New Hampshire's The New Hampshire's know what we're talking about It's huge in New Hampshire It is insane yeah it's ludicrous what a bizarre it's kind of out of vogue now
Starting point is 00:20:51 I don't think it's as big as it was but maybe I'm just getting old you know I'm 27 now guy I'm 27 years old this is what I'm doing with my life watching sex in the city two week after would you rather be a 21 year old
Starting point is 00:21:03 who's just drank a yard glass of beer and thrown up six times with the future ahead of you or a 27 year old who doesn't have to do that but knowingly has to watch sex like would you rather would you take back some choices
Starting point is 00:21:15 at 21 to maybe not enable this course of action and lifestyle do you regret this definitely think about it do you regret choosing sex in city too I don't like having regrets I'm not a guy who enjoys there's no point in regrets
Starting point is 00:21:35 what has happened has happened you've got to move forward you're a plan for the future not dwell in the past but this is still part of your future that being said I think I might I think
Starting point is 00:21:47 all things know and now everything on the table I think I would probably not want to do this one I Our eyes I mean
Starting point is 00:21:57 Our eyes were bigger Than our stomachs on this Definitely We got ambitious The whole thing is This is that This is funny Because it's so painful
Starting point is 00:22:05 Like it's an absurd course of action But this isn't But this is beyond that This is too Too much The pain of this Is as I see at the start this episode it's greater than what grown-ups too was inflicting on us yeah see nick have a good day at work
Starting point is 00:22:22 thanks mike take it easy sorry have work see you later yeah i think we shouldn't have um yeah like i want to say we shouldn't have done it this is kind of what you're inferring that's kind of how i feel um well look let me dig us out of this pip with my shining light. Please. It's the teacher who awards Brady the first place ribbon.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Yeah, she's great. For his mouse maze. I do like that delivery. Excellent articulation of her line, which is probably about six words in the entire film. Well, you get paid by split second
Starting point is 00:23:03 in America as a unionized actor. And so she's, obviously, she's very cleverly. Because they actually, I remember in the editing suite, I was there when I was cutting the scene and they had to speed it up one and a half times.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Is that right? what we're saying is actually faster than how she delivered it. Yeah. Wow, way. She's good though. I buy her being a school teacher. Yeah. Well, she went to a very specific acting school.
Starting point is 00:23:25 She went to the, I think it's, the institution is in Baltimore and Maryland, and it's very small, very prestigious school. And it's called the Academy of Arts of Teaching in Slow Motion. And you learn that one role of a teacher who speaks in slow motion. That's so specific. Yeah. Is that how drama schools are set up in the States where it's like you go to the the school for the role.
Starting point is 00:23:46 You plugged the niche, yeah. That you're going to play forever. Yeah, yeah. So what school did Sarah Jessica Parker attend? She attended the school of being a, a draw, a movie star, movie star school. A drawer? Like a draw, like a draw card. Oh, so there's schools for like superstars.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Yeah, I mean, it's crazy to me that more people don't go to those schools. Yeah, it just seems to me like that would be the better option. Well, I agree. But then again, we can't all be superstars. Not everyone's going to get a job. This lady's been really intelligent by hedging your bets and gone, you know what? Maybe I'll be a superstar, but it's unlikely.
Starting point is 00:24:23 But you know what's really likely? I'll get a lot of work being a slow speaking school teacher. And that's what she did. And God bless her. She's wound up in this movie. She's probably in others. I don't know. I haven't seen her before.
Starting point is 00:24:37 She'll show up in all movies. All of them. She's in every movie, yeah. Fuck. Isn't the industry strange? I'll never understand it. What happens with that school is it's quite rare and progressive in that you get, so you graduate and then you get meetings as part of your graduation package. You get meetings with every director of every movie for 20 years and you get to pitch your character.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Wow. Yeah. The movies have to be over a $5 million budget. But yeah, so pretty much. And she's very good at pitching. Right. Because she went to. It might be quick.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Like she might be teaching in the background of frame. Pitching School of movie auditions, if I'm not mistaken as well, this woman. That was her post-grad study. She got a diploma in it. Her degree was in slow-motion teacher acting, and then she got the pitch post-grad stuff afterwards at the JFK school. She's done a lot of studies, what I'm trying to say. And that's why she's my shining light.
Starting point is 00:25:35 She's invested in herself, and I respect that, because people who don't are dummies. People who don't get out there and pursue bits of paper that will cost a lot of your time and money and you'll be paying off for the rest of your life. People who don't do that? Dummies. Dummies. You got to put decals on your knee quab. Your knee quab is your brain. Your decals, your quals.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Chuck them on. Hashtag decal your knee quab. Well, you of course made serious national waves and headlines when you showed up your graduation ceremony with not just your degree, but all of your graduating classes' degrees stapled to your head. Correct. I was decal and my knee quad. Well, yeah, and you said you were bleeding a lot. You're bleeding all over the certificates.
Starting point is 00:26:20 I was making a statement. Yeah. I bleed for my betterment. I bleed for my self-improvement. I bleed for a better, more superior, educated youth. That's what I believe. You really took the shine off a lot of people's day that day too. I know, but sacrifices have to be made sometimes for the greater good.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Wow, I mean, I know that's your. version of events but I mean if you dig up the old newspaper articles they're painted a very different picture there is one thing
Starting point is 00:26:49 I do want to bring up with you got a little issue drawn by you yeah yeah scroby-b-bba ba-ba
Starting point is 00:26:56 shoo-da scuba-da- bha-da-doo-dib-dib do-dib-dib-dib-dab ba-da-da-da-da-bda-bda-bda-bda-bda-bda-bda-bda-a-bda-bda-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-a- Super bar. Where's he doing, where's he doing? Where's he off to?
Starting point is 00:27:26 That is the question. It's always the question. The question never changes, folks. You've heard the question. You love the question. You've got the question written down on a legal pad on your desk. So you wake up every morning and you want it to yourself. What am I doing?
Starting point is 00:27:39 you have what are you doing you've wondered that you've decaled it decailed it on your knee quab is what you've done that question is tattooed on you you've you've got a tattooed on your leg coffee guy um he's a guy who's in the movie you know him you love him i certainly do he's a worshipper of the one true god the god java and what he does is he slams a lot of coffee and then he gets the hell out of there because he's opening an acting school an acting school for slow motion teaching is he
Starting point is 00:28:12 he is well he because he tried to challenge the market previously i mean he sunk a lot of money into another acting school filling what he thought was the only remaining niche in the acting market what did he was he cast fast forward swimmers fast forward swimmers so like fast swimmers yeah so i think what he didn't understand is not only would he have to teach the act
Starting point is 00:28:34 of swimming as to actors but he also had a lot of swimmers coming into his school to learn how to swim faster. So he didn't clearly enough differentiate between the acting and the act of. The curriculum was sort of, it was confusing. Does he strike you as a guy who's decaling his knee quab a lot? This guy? I feel like he is.
Starting point is 00:28:55 I think if you're opening that school, you're putting a lot of maybe too many decals on your knee quab. Oh, you think? Well, yeah, I mean, just look at what happened. The thing folded in on itself. Yeah, but he gave it a guy. He slowed a lot of swimmers down. I had a lot of actors
Starting point is 00:29:08 faster swimmers. Yeah. But, I mean, no one got what they came to learn from. You know, none of the actors became, they didn't get cast as fast as swimmers. They just became sort of semi-competitive amateur swimmers. But he's getting out there and he's starting schools. That's what America's built on.
Starting point is 00:29:22 He's touching people. He is. Starting schools. You've got to start schools and then you've got to burn the schools down when they don't work. And he did? Of course he did. He, what he did is he took all of the chlorinated water out of the pool, filled it up with kerosine.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Yeah. And he burned that. motherfucker to the ground. He didn't, he loved it. He loved watching it burn. Catharsis. His failure went up in smoke and he was able to release his inner demons of disappointment in himself and letting his father down as he watched that structure burn to rubble. He was able to release it. He was able to get past the guilt and started fresh as an actor to drink coffee in many movies. His first mission, sex in the city too. A script that had been floating around Hollywood for a long time
Starting point is 00:30:06 looking for funding that hadn't been made allegedly because the script was so poor he wasn't sure he hadn't read it that's just what he'd heard and look at him now he's famous guy he's a famous actor in a big Hollywood movie
Starting point is 00:30:19 he went from an unsuccessful school starter and arsonist to a very successful movie artist the irony of course being that while he was shooting the part on sex in the city too which he trained so hard for it occurred to him that he should open
Starting point is 00:30:35 yet another actor school. That, of course, being the second school, it's a branch of the Baltimore, Maryland branch of the Academy of Acting in Slow Motion Teaching. And you can actually see the light bulb moment where the idea occurs to him on camera and he races out of the cafe. And that's why they had to use that take, it's because that actor, that very specifically trained actor that they'd hide. He didn't come back. He didn't come back. That was it. That was his one take. God bless him. I'm so glad we've got him on Sally Lloyd. They probably shot this digitally now that I think about it. No, they struck me.
Starting point is 00:31:06 is the kind of movie when they shot one digitally and they also shot the entire movie on Sally Lloyd they had two cameras next to each other oh fantastic that about does it for this week guy
