That movies on a plane I'll be like I'll watch Transformers 4 which I wouldn't watch on land but in the sky I'll do it. In air or sea I'll do it on the sea as well. What do you call it international waters you know. Well we're joined by Allison Bray we're very excited to have you here. Thanks for having me excited Excited to be here. What do you think about my mic placement? That looks pretty good. Solid. A little closer.

Easy, Matt. Bring it in. There you go. And we have Steph guest bartending here today. Thanks for joining us, Steph. All right, Steph. Best hair in Bed-Stuy. And you guys have a Google search of me up for me to look at?

Just in case. During a passionate scene from your new movie, Somebody I Used to Know Now streaming on Amazon. Check it out. You got that right. Directed by your husband. That's right. And co-written by he and I.

That's cool. Is that awkward? Him and me. It was awkward. No. Wow. It was great. I couldn't write anything with my wife.

She would just be like, that line you have sucks. Really? Yeah. I like my line. That line you did sucks. You run bits by her though now? Yeah, I run bits by her, but we couldn't write a movie. That would be tough.

It's tough to work with someone you date. That can't be easy. Well, that's why we're married. Yeah. It's true. That's the only reason we got married, because we were like, we got to work together. Yeah. But I think it helps.

My wife is also a comic, so it helps and it hurts. Sure. Some places you're like, this is great. We can talk comedy. You understand the lingo. But then also you're like, I could have gotten that gig. Oh. No, just kidding.

I don't know if Dave and I are ever competing for roles. But I'm not going to take it totally off the table. There could have been. Yeah, could he have have been it was Jay Ellis who's by the way a fucking hot dude Jay Ellis is very attractive I was lost in his eyes me too

was there any point where you were writing where Dave was like I could play this guy and then you're like he's got to be black yeah I was like I would prefer Jay Ellis there really never was because I think, you know, Dave's directorial debut was The Rental. It's a horror movie. And I got to act in that, which was awesome. And I feel like he realized on that he didn't act in it.

And it was the saving grace. It was like when you're directing, you just want to be fully focused on that one thing and not have to be thinking about your performance. And it slows everything down, having to watch playback and do all of that stuff. And I just think that worked so well that going into this, that was the genetic makeup of it from the start is like, oh, now let's write something together and now recreate that same,

you know, way of working with him directing and me. Right. But so he wasn't going to play the role now. Jay is so much hotter. Whoa, whoa, I didn't say hotter. I did not say hotter. Dave's no slouch.

I said attractive, period. Did you meet Dave on a movie or no? No, Dave and I met at Mardi Gras in New Orleans. My hometown. I love New Orleans. Hell of a town. And Mardi Gras, my favorite holiday. I love. Really? Yeah, yeah. I love New Orleans. Hell of a town. And Mardi Gras, my favorite holiday.

I love Mardi Gras. I used to go all the time with my community crew. Oh, yeah. Went down there with Danny and Donald and Ken and Joe Russo. That was the first trip. And then we went down the next year with Joe and a couple of my girlfriends. And one of my friends knew Dave. We ran into him at the airport

actually on the way there he was just heading back he was shooting a movie there um heading back from like a weekend home and she invited him to dinner with us and he came to dinner and then she did a little setup so we're at dinner Dave gets to dinner late he's got a whole other side of the story where he actually said he couldn't come to dinner because he had plans. All his plans got canceled when we landed in the city for some reason. So by the time he gets to dinner, we're all drunk. And he sits next to my friend Jules. And I'm across the table. And I get a text from her.

And it's like, you should hook up with Dave. Whoa. And I was like, yep. Yes, please. I'm in. I would say yes to that. I was super single. I was hooking up.

And it's Nola. You get crazy at Nola. What else am else am i gonna do this weekend it's like flights there's no rules in new orleans exactly new orleans nashville there's certain cities where you're like wuhan i'll take your word for it um so i text back enthusiastically meanwhile across the table she shows the exchange to dave she's like points at me that's the gal like what do you think and he's like i'm in she's like don't tell her that i showed you this text exchange 10 minutes later she and i get up to go to the bathroom she's like maybe you and dave and i'm like i mean i'm into it i don't know if he's would be interested and she's like he's interested i showed him your text under the table. Don't tell him that I told you that I showed him.

So we left the restaurant. We both had a sexy secret. Knew that the other person was on board. At the next location, I kind of sidled up to him at the bar with a beer. And I was like, there's Molly in this beer. I think we should split the beer and have a great night together.

What do you say? Holy shit. And he said, yeah. Wow, this should be the movie. This is amazing. But with a black guy. But what do you think about, is Molly, what is that like? You've never done Molly?

No, I've never done it. What? Hold on. Well, speaking of drinks, can we get some of these drinks over here? Oh, yeah. And we're doing mimosas. You heard Molly and you had to take the edge off.

Yeah. Oh, thank you. All right, all right. Gracias. We're doing mimosas to get our vitamin C in because we're classy ladies. And you're doing a press tour, so you have to stay healthy. I'm trying to stay healthy. Cheers.

Hey, Mazel. Cheers. 12 years sober down the drain i'm glad i could be the one to break that cycle i am on the road with a sober guy and it annoys me he's my opener sober and it annoys me and i because it just bugs me i want i have two other people pure of a lifestyle i's got his life on track too much. He's married, he's got two kids, but it still bugs me. And I have a tour manager who will drink with me and I have James who films who drinks with me.

But I want Gary to drink with me. And I asked him, you've been sober for how long? And he's like, it's like a year. And I said, if you had one sip, it'd be all down the drain though. So I kind of wanted to trick him into drinking. Oh my God. I don't condone it.

If he takes one sip, he's back in the game. That's true, and he's a little guy. Oh, wow. He's a lightweight. You're just slipping into his sparkling, a little vodka into his sparkling water. Just half an ounce. The sobriety's done. That's not Cosby bad.

I don't condone it. This is how Matt Lauer started. I'm just going to get a a button it's just a button you know so that's a great story though I mean that's that's pretty cool yeah

it was a great 48 hours let me tell you wow man that's a hot start and that was 11 years ago wow so ladies

you should hook up the first night because you never know that's my motto yeah Ladies, you should hook up the first night because you never know. That's my motto. And it worked out. There you go. See that, don't you find sometimes that, because that text message and the hookup and the flirting and the knowing it's going to happen is almost hotter than the actual intercourse.

Yeah. It's like you don't want there to be too much buildup. I say you want to kind of go in for the kill right away and see if it's going to work out. I agree with you. The consent is hotter than the sex. Yes. I just want to know it's possible.

Right, because I'll disappoint you later. But that moment, I'm still good. Ultimately, yeah, I'm tired and I want to go to bed. But you're in? Oh, great. Literally. Is he doing the press tour too? He's doing it.

He's doing it too. We're sort of dividing and conquering. Nice. Smart, smart. Two fronts. Literally. Is he doing the press tour too? He's doing it. He's doing it too. We're sort of dividing and conquering. Nice. Smart. Two fronts. Yeah. I've been re-watching Community just randomly. So it's weird that you hit us, you know, that your people hit us up and we're like, oh,

I've just been watching it on the road. I need a light, I need a light road show. Yeah. That's a good one. Such good writing. Thank you. It holds up. I recently rewatched some of it because I love to watch my own work. No, they, you know, it went up on Netflix during COVID and I just rewatched a bunch of it and I loved it.

It's great. It's full of jokes. It's a great cast. It's very edgy too. You know, I think like a lot of the writing was towing that line for a network comedy. For sure. Of, like, getting in some good jabs. I don't know.

Is there... It might have been the last kind of edgy, jokey, punchy comedy on network. Yeah. Well, I mean, even, like, Atlanta is now FX. Now it's FX. And that's a different type of show. That's a really different type of show. Yeah, that's true.

Beautiful. Great show. Great show. But it was, like, The Office. Yeah, that's true. Beautiful. Great show. Great show. But it was like The Office and 30 Rock and Arrested Development and Community. We were in that block. Yeah. We were in that block of 30 Rock. It was The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, and then Us.

That was like the dream three years or however long that block was going. It was like, whoa, this is awesome. Yeah. But even The Office, i feel like had like new life on netflix true true number one show yeah all the gen z's are like what is this show i'm discovering it look what i found you guys gotta try taxi you gotta show like a real old show the seinfeld right it's really cool show people probably discovered oh for sure i mean i'm I'm honestly, Dave and I have been watching an episode of Seinfeld every night before we go to bed just to get it back in our system.

And it's so great. It's the best. It's incredible. And you see all these other shows now doing a lot of their storylines. Totally. Well, it's so funny having not watched Seinfeld in a long, long time. And I don't think I ever even saw all the episodes because you didn't have a Netflix or somewhere, right?

You would just catch them whenever they were on. But I've probably seen all of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which is obviously amazing. And, of course, Larry David. So then you go back and watch Seinfeld and you see a lot of the storylines. You're like, oh, the person who says Happy New Year for too long. Like a lot of those little jokes come back around and I love it. It's called Jewish comedy.

Larry, I was watching a Curb yesterday, the accidental text on purpose on my flight back. You hung over, you're like, thank God for Curb because the selection on Delta is not that great right now. Not great. Oh, interesting. And it must be fun for Gen Z to go back and be like, whoa, a gay joke?

What is this? Sorcery. Holy hell. But The Office was chock full of dark stuff. Yeah. Some of it's, yeah, now it's all the game of like, did this age well? Like, where are we? You know what?

It's a dangerous game to play because it's comedy. If it worked, it worked. You know? And that's how you view it. You view it through the time cap. So when you know and that's how you view it you view it through the time cap so when you start analyzing that stuff you go you go nuts all right definitely and i don't even really have i can't have perspective on it because it's stuff that i loved and watched always totally right sometimes it's even hard for me to be like oh okay i guess

i understand why yeah people are finding that offensive now you know yeah sometimes i don't it is funny when you watch, I was really hungover a couple weeks ago on a flight and I was like, let me just watch something light. I'm seeing a pattern here with the hangovers. We have a drinking podcast. I'm not judging. Doing research.

It's called research. But I put on that movie Just Friends and I'm like, I feel like eight of the punchlines are just, you're gay. Oh my God. Every joke was just like, you're gay. That's half of Apatow too. Yeah.

That's why his movies are so long. You gotta get enough of those gay jokes. We gotta edit in 20 minutes of unedited. We're going to add them in post. Yeah, yeah. I love that movie, Just Friends. Did you notice, well, clearly you've maybe not watched our movie yet, but Julie Haggerty. No, we watched it.

Oh, Julie Haggerty, who plays the mom Julie Haggerty. No, we watched it. Julie Haggerty who plays the mom, is the mom in yours. Plays my mom. Yeah, she's great. Be yourself. Be yourself. I love her. You have all these great comedy cameos in this.

There's Amy Sedaris is in this. Yeah. Sam Richardson. Yeah. Are these, did you reach out to them or are they? Yes, we just called in a lot of favors, especially for those parts. Sedaris and I worked together on BoJack Horseman for years, but we never met in person because she lives here in New York and we did that show in L.A.

That's crazy. And it's a voiceover show. But you were reading back and forth. We did. We always would do table reads together. It was funny because it was like the one animated show that I've worked on where they made such a point to do table reads with all of the actors there. Oh, that's great. Except Amy Sedaris, who would call into this speaker phone that was in the center of the table. And she was so funny. They would always ask us to read all the other

characters that they maybe hadn't cast yet. And sometimes we would also voice some of those side characters. And Sedaris would just do all these different voices but on a slight delay because she was on a conference call um anyway she's so funny and she was so game to do the movie which was so nice considering we had never met in person and she came in half the scene is improvised by her you know she had a different button every time she goes to leave the room I gotta go get my tubes untied every time she, it was a different joke. It was gold. You know you're funny when you're killing on speaker.

That's a tough sell for comedy. Strangers with Candy also was the funniest show. I love that show. I grew up on that. That was when Comedy Central was really chugging along. And weird. Kids in the Hall. That was like pre-Colbert Colbert.

Yeah, right. Principal Blackman. That's just a character. South Park. South Park, yeah. All that stuff was fun. Great, great show. What was that animated show that was like- Drawn together?

I don't know. The episodes were short, like 15 minute episodes. This is a great story. Let's just wait until we figure it out. Well, BoJack's a great show to be on too. That's an awesome- BoJack was great. That was a great show. That was a great story let's just wait until we figure it out bojack's a great show to be on too that's an awesome that's an awesome great show that was a great show that was i mean so many jokes permitted on bojack and then still they managed to make it really dark and deep and it was like exploring themes of depression and sexual harassment and all of this that's a show i can't it's like i respect the hell out of that show addiction. That's a show I can't,

I respect the hell out of that show, but it's like a show where it hits me like Barry, where I'm like, I can't watch this shit before bed. This is not your I'm hungover, I'm just gonna blow through some episodes show. No hope for life. But I loved watching BoJack because also, the table reads were so funny.

And then I'd watch the episode and they would sneak jokes just into the animation, plays on animals in the background. Visual gag. Yes. There was so much going on. There was a great one. Great show. That's the thing you can do with animation.

Animation can go so. Family Guy says stuff where I'm like, holy moly, how did my power not go out when that joke came on? Totally. But it's animation. Yeah, you can get away with a lot. Yeah. Maybe we should do a cartoon. That's animation yeah you can get away with a lot yeah yeah maybe we should do a cartoon like getting away with things yeah i just farted no one caught it i caught it i wasn't gonna say anything i tasted it oh no by the way amy sedaris underrated a hot lady i don't know if we're allowed to say that you know what i i'm glad you said that actually because i was gonna say what i love about her comedy and especially like strangers

with candy she loves making herself unattractive yes and doing roles that are so quirky but she's super hot super hot yeah sexy fun i admire that she has like a great wig closet you know she puts like maybe i'll do even doing this movie, she was like, I don't know you guys. Could I, should I have fake teeth? We were like, no, no. We just want you to look like you. But like everything, she always wants to amp it up.

Right. You're like, it's a cartoon. I love it. I respect it. Yeah. She is great. Oh yeah. And she's killing Letterman.

She was so good. She is so funny. Her Instagram is great too. Yeah. I gotta, I gotta check that out. She was so good. She is so funny. Her Instagram is great, too. Yeah. I got to check that out. She posts funny clips and stuff. And then I saw a spread in New York Magazine of her at her apartment, and her apartment's crazy. Her apartment's kooky.

Kooky. Because she collects stuff and does arts and crafts and all sorts of things, I think. Yeah, she's like, here's my room full of old sewing machines. And you're like, what the hell? It's just kooky. There it is. Look at that. Oh. Fun. Nice. Look at that.

Fun. Nice bookshelf, though. All right, that just looks kind of normal, but I swear to God. I like a color-coordinated bookshelf. Ooh. Look at that chandelier.

I mean, look how cute she is. You couldn't date her because there's no room. There's too many knickknacks. That's true. Look at that. Wow. You have to slide some things

over in the bed. Yeah. Oh, that's great. I haven't seen a TV yet. Classy. Look at that. My God, that is wild. Beautiful.

I like a couch like that, spaced out. Yeah, look at that. Somewhere Wes Anderson just came. So the first place I ever saw you was Mad Men. Oh, yeah. We talk about Mad Men a lot on this podcast. Oh, good. It's just a great show.

It's a great show. Great drinking show. It makes me want to drink. It's like when you read Hemingway or Bukowski or something and you're like, I should drink in the afternoon. It really is glamorizing. Drinking, smoking, demeaning women. I should get a secretary.

The heyday. Those were the days. No blacks. Joking. Just went silent. That's my comedy. Couldn't give a supportive chuckle even. I know. It really was.

How was that clip going around? The, I mean, it really was a perfect show. And it was just the way that they would drink. I feel like Don Draper made old fashions cool. Just even the way he would hold it. He didn't even care if it slipped from his hand and broke on the floor. It was a delicate touch to that hold. A lot of hair out of place.

Was that a fun character to play? Yeah. Trudy Campbell, great. I mean, the show had such great writing. There was so much nuance to all the scenes. And that was a really early job for me. I think I had done just like a couple other. I did a B-horror movie, which there's a lot to say about that.

It was called Born. I played a young gal who gets impregnated with her demon brother's like demon spawn fetus mardi gras totally it was like it was like i was at mardi gras and then the fetus possesses her and also kills there's like a lot of great set piece scenes like where i have sex with a guy and the demon fetus like bites off his dick and he dies where... This is great PR for abortions. I, oh my, well I do support them. Yeah, same. We do.

There's a scene where I make out with my, I'm just powering through. All right, sorry. I'm just powering through. I make out with my roommate, who she's like a phone sex operator. Wow. And then the demon,

she kisses down my body to my pregnant belly and the demon fetus punches through the center of my pregnant stomach, rips her tongue out of her head. Whoa. She dies. That sounds great.

And then I take her head off and I eat her organs. It's awesome. Holy moly. Guys, my first job. Wow. Mad Men, different vibe. It was slightly different.

Although I'm pretty sure the demon fetus eating the dick scene is what got me the role on Mad Men. It's a fun reel. Because you play a lot of characters like that, not quite Trudy Campbell level. The type A kind of, yeah, but there's a little uptightness sure to a lot of the characters i play i feel like we're sort of playing with that in this movie yeah and like the way my character is at the start of the movie is how everyone thinks that i am based on the roles that i play and the way the character is at the end of the movie is more like how i really am a little looser a little more chill yeah but um oh and yeah you talk about in the movie there's a part where you were

uh i don't want to give too much away but there's a part where one of the characters says, you're not going to best friends wedding me. So that was like, I'm guessing that's a movie you like. I'm guessing. I love it. I love it. Great movie. Definitely. We pay a lot of homage to my best friend's wedding in the movie, and we just wanted to be upfront about it.

But we were kind of channeling all of those movies that we love from the 80s and 90s. When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle. When Harry Met Sally is a real go-to airplane movie for me. Oh, Nora Ephron. We were talking about that. We love her. So good. I just actually watched her recently on an airplane.

It's a great airplane movie. My other favorite airplane movie, The Departed. Me too. That's so weird. I love watching that on screen. Interesting. Anytime Alec Baldwin pops on screen in that movie or walberg so many funny lines yeah the whole opening and then it cuts into that song yeah i remember seeing that with my dad and he he

couldn't tell leonardo dicaprio and Matt Damon apart. Ah, racist. It's a really confusing movie for him. He thought it was like Inception for him. Right. Too many Irish people. That's another good plane movie. I don't mind Inception on a plane the way Matt Nolan intended. Yeah.

Chris. Sorry, Chris. Matt Nolan. Oh, Matt Nolan is a friend of Dave's from college that we name check in the movie. Matt Nolan. We put a lot of our friends' names. We just named every random character

like one of our friends' names in the movie. So that's really fun. That's fun for them to get to see. Shout out to Matt Nolan. Yeah, Matt, great director. Yeah. One of my favorite directors of all time. Can't wait for Oppenheimer.

I do want to see that. Oh, yeah, me too. That looks awesome. Guys, in all seriousness, Chris Nolan. I mean, come on. And Oppenheimer. My dad read that book and never shuts up about it. Yeah, that's a real dad book.

Real dad book. Any dad book. It's like, have you read LBJ, the six-part series? I'm like, Jesus Christ. Exactly. Read Robert Moses, The Power Broker. All right, let me pick it up. 2,000 pages.

I know. Jesus Christ. That's the kind of book Let me pick it up. 2,000 pages. I know. Jesus Christ. That's the kind of book where I'm like, I'll see the movie. Yes. I'll wait to see the movie. Yeah, all Wikipedia. Can we get a doc? Right.

A doc makes it easy. Is there a podcast based on that book I could listen to in my car? I am listening to this podcast called Founders. Got to give a shout out. It's amazing because it just goes Coco Chanel, how she made it, Andrew Carnegie, whatever. And the amount of bad parenting that leads to success is really a through line.

Yeah, well, you have good parents. No, they're good eggs. I've met your parents. They're good people. Nice people, very nice. But the molestings, I'm still hurt. I've met your parents. They're good people. Nice people. Very nice. But the molestings. Yeah. I'm still hurt.

Seems like they worked out for you. Yeah, that's true. They knew what they were doing. They got in this unwrinkled shirt. But yeah, nice people. Good people. But yeah, I'm sure Oppenheimer was diddled. That's my point.

Yeah. No, you look at like Howard. I'm just going to sit with that. The silence is this one. We'll have a good silence breakdown of this. How dare you. Oprah, Tyler Perry. I mean, the list goes on.

Yeah. A lot of bad childhoods. Oh, yeah. Anytime you see a biopic, you're like, fuck, man. I know. Why is that so? Why is that always the case? I just watched the Pamela one.

Oh, I haven't watched that yet. That's a deal. Yeah. I could tell it was going, I haven't watched that yet. That's a deal. Yeah. I could tell it was going to be dark, and that's why it's before bed. I can't do the before bed dark. It's heavy. I've been going light. Yeah.

She's having a nice little resurgence, which is nice. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm excited to see that. It's fun. I'm going to watch it for sure. It's well done. Is rom-com like your top genre for film?

This is going to sound crazy, but it's rom-com and horror, I think, are right at the top for Dave and I both. And it's like he has always liked rom-coms, but I feel like more and more I've brought him around on the rom-com side. And he is like a horror fiend and has brought me around. And I mean, when I was a teenager, I loved horror movies. And some of my favorite all-time films are horror thrillers like The Shining, Rosemary's Baby. I was about to say Sleepless in Seattle. There's a horror to some guys. A woman hears a guy on the radio, stalks him, hires a private eye,

like watches him outside his house. Silence of the Lambs, great. Oh, one of the best. It was on TV. That's why I love cable by the way I stopped having cable for years and I was like

let me just get cable again it's like the radio I'm into cable my brother's over and I was like let's watch the last three scenes of Silence of the Lambs

great three scenes the other day I'm flipping channels Terminator 2 I love that I was just like well I'm gonna settle in I know what I'm doing

this afternoon there's a couple where you just leave it on like like Shawshank, Casino. Casino is like a three-hour violent music video. Casino and Goodfellas are both on that list. Oh, shit, they're doing the one-er through the restaurant. My ex was younger than me, so I had to – I remember we saw The Irishman. She just had never seen –

Robert De Niro act in a movie. She's like, is that the guy from Dirty Grape? She saw The Irishman. She just had never seen... Robert De Niro act in a movie? Is that the guy from Dirty Grandpa? She saw The Intern. Yeah, I mean... No, but she saw... She'd never seen Goodfellas or Casino. So we said that the... She also just wasn't a big film person.

Her dad was super strict growing up. She sounds great. Well, it didn't work out. But the point is... She's a shut-in. The point is she the point is, she saw that first and then you go back

and you watch Goodfellas and then you watch Casino and she was like, all these movies are the same. Boo! Not true. But that was a takeaway. I mean,

I hear where she's coming from and then I feel for her that she started with Irishman because then it took away from her experience on the other two. And Casino, he's a Jew.

That's different. That's true. he's a Jew. That's different. That's true. That's really different. What a stretch. Well, the stretch was in Irishman where he tried to kick that guy. Remember that scene? That was rough.

The Jussie Smollett tape was more realistic than that with the aging. You can't get a younger actor. The aging thing was weird. They were talking about how much money it cost, and I was like, well, it didn't work. I know. Maybe you should have spent a little more.

I guess people want that star power. You want the De Niro name on the poster. Yeah, I don't want to see some young actor playing young De Niro. That's bullshit. Yes. Although, you know who could have done it really well? Shia LaBeouf?

The guy who went to prison. He played his kid in Bronx Tale. Oh, yeah. He was on The Sopranos, too. You know who I'm talking about. I know who you're talking about. Very Italian-looking. He plays his son in Bronx Tale.

He kind of looks a little De Niro-y. That's him. He looks De Niro-y. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But he's maybe even too old. Lilo Brancato? What did he go to jail for?

I think he killed someone. He's Colombian. Wait, real jail? Yeah. Oh, jeez. But like, what did they do? You know what I mean? That's a good question.

Yeah, good point. Yeah. Sorry, guys. What was he wearing? I love it. Again, now you guys did the silence on me, and it doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel good. Wait, he's not Italian?

Isn't that a- Attempting to break into a home. It sounds accidental. Oh, I, he's not Italian? Isn't that a- Attempting to break into a home. It sounds accidental. Oh, I thought he killed someone. I feel- Well, yeah, he did, but it was accidental. Self-defense. You know, it's like when LL Cool J beat that guy up for breaking into his house.

We don't need to- Imagine breaking into someone's house and it's LL Cool J. Oh, LL Cool J. That's got to suck. Something broken at LL Cool J's house. Yeah, yeah, and he beat him up. Oh, that's awesome. It was awesome.

Yeah, that must suck when you're just like, I'm going to get my ass kicked by a famous dude. I know. I should have broken to Woody Allen's house. I could have taken him. LL's from Queens. Yeah. You don't want to mess with a ladies love Cool James.

Oh, yeah. He's an attractive fellow. He is a hot guy. Wow. If you wrap shirtless, you got to look. Oh, my God. One time years ago, probably 20 years ago, I was so young and it was still like where you could be late for a flight and like run through the airport and make it on your flight.

Those were the days. Ran onto the plane. I was like the last person to get on. Like catch my breath, look. And the first person I see sitting in first class is LL Cool J. And you know how sometimes when you see famous people, you think it's just a person you know because you're so familiar with their face? Yeah.

And I just was like, hey, oh my God, good to see you. And it was just a deadpan straight face. Didn't say a word. It took me a beat. and then I was like, Ella, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, Ella. Excuse me. He's like, did I bang her in 88?

What is that? I did that to Catherine Keener once on a flight. Really? Yeah. Oh, good one. I opened the door, and she was right there, and I go, I love you. And she was like, ah!

I'm like, sorry. She's great. But after she shrieked, she said thanks. Oh, good. I got a thanks after the shriek. I got like a get to your seat so we can take off kind of face. It didn't work out well for me. Saw Warren Beatty and Annette Bening on a flight once.

Whoa. Oh, my God. That's a good one. Like a married bicker, and it was fun to watch. That's cool. That's an on-set meeting, right? Bugsy? Isn't that where they met?

Is that right? I think so. Is that true? I think so. Annette Bening stars in my all-time favorite movie and all-time favorite rom-com. What is that? The American President. It's her.

It's Michael Douglas. It's written by Aaron Sorkin. Oh, yeah. Okay. It's directed by Rob Reiner. Wow. It's so good. Michael J. Fox.

Excellent. Okay. Martin She directed by Rob Reiner. Wow. It's so good. Michael J. Fox, excellent. Okay, Martin Sheen not playing the president. This is like an Aaron Sorkin Martin Sheen pre-The West Wing where he's playing the right-hand man. I've never seen it. To Michael Douglas' president. You've never seen it? No. They do that dance. She's in a beautiful strapless blue dress.

She's a hot lady. Oh, yeah. She is so beautiful. I remember seeing The Grifters with my mom. Full frontal. Full frontal. Full frontal. I didn't get to see them. I had to re-watch it after she went to bed.

Did your parents, when I was a kid, they would just go, oh, oh. They'd go stand in front of the TV, their bodies. Like, they wanted to watch the nudity, but we couldn't see it. They'd block the TV, and then we would, they'd come sit down, and then we would watch like eight guys get their faces shot off. I know. Like, the standard was weird. Yeah, that's hilarious.

It's like don't see somebody's butt. You might see somebody's butt while they're making out, but now you're gonna watch this person's throat get slit. So true. Gators is dark. That was HBO in the 90s. I would say the same with Survivor. You know, they're like climbing up a rope

and you could see like butt cheek getting blurred, but then they'll eat dick from a bull or something. Fear factor. It's weird that we're allowed to watch this horrific guy puking up his guts, but his under boob. That'll ruin you. Either way, though, you're numb.

I think you should let the kids watch the tits, because that way they'll be numb to it and it won't mean anything. It's like, why are we so afraid of the human body? You're not. I am not sir. I was not expecting that. Thank you. I love a little non-sexual nudity in something. Sure.

I love to watch it and I like to participate in it. Yeah. Cheers. To an unexpected bush. It's a fake bush I hate to tell you. Oh really? It's a mer bush, I hate to tell you. Oh, really? It's a merkin. Guys, when I was working on Glow,

I lasered off so much of my pubic hair because we wore these really high-cut leotards. Is this the kind of content you're used to hearing? Yes, actually, yes, we do like this. It's Stephanie's pants. So now I have to wear a merkin because there are laws about not showing labia on screen. We didn't want the movie to be rated NC-17. Sure.

Wow. So I wear my little merkin. I've worn that same merkin in a couple films now. It's reusable. I think two and we're out. I don't know if I can do more than two movies with the same merkin, which in case people don't know,

it's a pubic wig, ladies and gentlemen. Merkin the Magnificent. Get your groomer to groom it. Do you have a little pick? Yeah, I get my little pick out, a little hairspray. Yeah, Dave's like, your Merkin's in the sink again. Yeah. I never realized how much Sorkin sounds like Merkin

until we just said Aaron Sorkin. Oh, yeah, Aaron Merkin. Sorkin, Merkin. I can hear it. Sorkin, man, he's a beastkin. Sorkin. Merkin. I can hear it. Sorkin, man. He's a beast. Yeah. A lot of great stuff.

Excellent. There was a big president. Remember Kevin Kline was in a president movie. Dave. Dave. I don't remember that one either. That's another great plane movie, by the way. Yeah.

Does plane movie mean it's slightly worse? No. It actually, to me, doesn't. It feels like it's kind of a comfort sweet spot. Like The Departed is a great film. I love The Departed. I'm honestly listing most of my favorite movies. But Dave is the kind of movie that I could watch again and again.

Oh, yeah, Sigourney Weaver as the First Lady. Yeah, the 90s. It's so good. We still liked politics. Ivan Reitman, you guys. Oh, legend. It's true. But now you go back and watch all these movies, The American President, this, even The West Wing.

It's like an amazing fantasy show. Yes, yes. Of a better world. We talked about Air Force One last week or the week before where you're like, that was when you rooted for the president. Yeah. Totally. You can't make a movie where Biden's just fucking up terrorists.

Yeah. You'd be like, whatever, dude. I mean. I mean, I would watch it. You'd watch it for about two minutes until he got killed. You'd have a bit of an Irishman situation, I think, in the action it. You'd watch it for about two minutes until he got killed. You'd have a bit of an Irishman situation, I think, in the action scenes. That's true.

That's true. I want to see the one where Hunter is taken down. Give us your laptop. Fuck you, terrorists. Yeah, that's fun. Ian McKellen is Joe Biden. I want to see Kamala kicking ass. That would be a good movie.

In her Timberlands? Yeah. That would be a good movie. In her Timberlands? Yeah. That would be fun. Stomping. Stomping ass. I've never seen Dave. He also- I love Dave.

So he plays a president impersonator. And then the president has a heart attack while having an affair with Laura Linney. Whoa. A great, crucial cameo in the movie. And while he's under, the powers that be are like we'll bring in this lookalike so that we can control the government but in the meantime he like re falls in love with the president's wife played by sigourney weaver and he does a lot of good for the country wow there you go so there you go kevin klein solid solid actor that was you're like an

info button on a remote. That was amazing. Anything that was on HBO in the 90s, I have a real encyclopedic memory about it. What are the other ones? What are the other top Alison Brie? I think about Defending Your Life. Oh, great. Albert Brooks.

I can't believe I haven't seen that. What? I know. You've never seen it? You hate it? No, I've never seen it. I love Albert Brooks. I gotta see it.

It's so high concept and creative i know it's one of my friends favorites very grounded considering like when you tell people the premise which is 97 when you die you go to this place it's like limbo it's like a holding port before you would go to heaven or wherever or go back to earth right and you have to go through like a trial where they show clips from your life. And you have like an attorney. And they decide whether you'll go on to heaven or if you have to go back to earth and do it again. Yeah. And these two fall in love.

But it's like Albert Brooks, of course, was like a really shitty person. So all the clips from his life are like of him like falling off a roof or like, you know, they're just all doing like not the best of things. And Meryl Streep is like saving her kids from a burning building and stuff like that it's very sweet great movie really it's a great movie i've heard a lot about it rip torn plays his attorney yes really funny oh yeah and i gotta re-watch it he had a cut what was that one about the road trip in the rv oh i think it's like is it about no something about america on the road in america it's incredible it's just so many great jokes i think he was like a ad man and he hates you know

having a cubicle and being in an office and he said i'm gonna travel the world we love to quote rip torn um larry sanders from the larry sanders show gives a great read of a tough titty. That is like my favorite Rip Torn quote. Yeah, he's incredible. One of my favorite Rip Torn quotes from that show is when Larry Sanders finds out that Alec Baldwin fucked his ex-wife. And he's on the show and he's like, I can't interview him. I just have these images of him fucking my wife. And the worst part is she's on top. And Rip Torn goes

lazy bastard he's got his back no matter what I love that that is a perfect show that's a great rewatch oh yeah I've rewatched it

probably five times every episode and the people who pass through are incredible also hey now Stiller Garofalo

oh yeah Dana Carvey yeah john stewart yeah some are playing themselves and some are just playing like office writers and interns sharon stone yeah jay i wonder who wrote that episode by the way i get to bang sharon stone yeah that show needs a pickup i feel like it's not so good oh you mean just to put those episodes i thought you meant like a reboot and i was like no we're missing a pivotal element yeah yeah good point i don't think you can recreate it well it's probably got to be on hbo max right it is oh is it okay okay oh they removed it holy shit i just saw it on youtube

i rewatched it on youtube because i'm such a fan. No, it's on HBO. Okay, all right. HBO Max. Yeah. Yeah. I'm Alison Brie for HBO Max. We've got the Larry Sanders show, all episodes of Sex and the City,

including the two movies. Are you a big Sex and the City person? I'm a huge Sex and the City fan. The original show was incredible. I didn't love the later. The movies went awry and the reboot, you know, I don't want to, look, I love them. I didn't love the later. The movies went awry and the reboot, you know, I don't want to, look, I love them.

I'll watch it all. I watch it all. I watched all the reboot. I'm down for the season two. I watched it. I'm married. But it's not quite the same. I still love to go back and watch the old original episodes,

which, talking about aging, they don't all age well, but what I find amazing about it is like- I think all the women look beautiful oh okay how dare that's not what i meant even control it wasn't in the last season but the jokes that show in one monologue will have like the cringiest line that like doesn't update well and it will be followed by like a really prescient you know what i mean there's like an episode where carrie dates a bisexual whoa and the whole episode is like oh my god i mean he's bisexual and i said i was okay with it and her friends being like why

you're not okay with it and it's like there's lines like that but then she'll do some monologue that's like what even is gender like won't there then she'll do some monologue that's like, what even is gender? Like, won't there come a point where we don't even need gender at all? And you're like, wow, Sex and the City ahead of your time. And then five minutes later, she's like, oh, my God, they want me to kiss a girl. Like, what am I going to do? That was a pretty good carry right there. Thanks.

I was only half-assing it. I could do a better impression. That was pretty good. But I won't. I like to tease you. I was only half-assing it. I could do a better impression. But I won't. I like to tease you. I love that show. Nothing but love for that show. Great show. It's a great show. I remember seeing

Kristen Davis in a coffee shop. I was in seventh grade and I watched the show because I was like, oh my God, this is like New York. It's like shocking. I remember I was with my basketball team. We just see her in a diner and I was like, I seen your show a bunch and she goes you're too young to watch I said oh yeah then how come I know your husband can't get hard everyone the diner big laughs in the diner and she goes all right I respect

that Wow myself yeah rapscallion fucking were. Yeah, dude. Fucking, I told it right to her. Wow. It was pretty cool. And then the waiter came up and said, your credit card declined. They said, sir, it's 18 or older in here. You have to go home to your mommy. What are some other Alison Brie wrecks?

Like top movies, shows, like stuff. I mean, I love that you love Larry Sanders. Wow. We quote it constantly. Larry Sanders. I love that you love Larry Sanders. We quote it constantly. I love the show Dave on FX. Do you guys ever watch that show? Yeah, our friend is on that show. Santino's on it.

Oh, yeah, he's great. Yes, he was in a movie I was in, The Disaster Artist, that my husband Dave was in as well. Hello, Mark. Yeah, great story, Mark. The guy who shoots Dave the Cinematographer

shot our movie. He's tying it back around. It looked great. See her movie. It's on Prime. Somebody that I used to know on Amazon Prime right now. That's right.

On Friday. It goes up on Friday. Well, no, it'll be out. Oh, out now. It's out right now. Watch it now. What else do I love? Are you watching Last of Us?

Yes, we are. Oh, I love it, but we're behind. Don't spoil it. We've been traveling, so we've only watched the first couple episodes. Have you seen three? No. Oh, it's breaking the internet. Are you watching this?

I have. All right, I won't say anything. I mean, I did read that people had a problem with the landscape or something. A couple people. The terrain. The praise is more than the hate the landscape or something. A couple people. The terrain. The praise is more than the hate. Oh, good. Okay, good, good, good, good.

I'm loving it. Love that. Obviously, we loved White Lotus. Sure. You got to watch these shows if you're single. I mean, that's all you can talk about on dates. I know. I get that.

What are you watching? I went on a date the other night, and a woman took out four vape pens on the table. No. Four. Was she sharing? Yeah. She was like, try these.

It was like a white trash wine tasting. It was kind of fun. This honestly sounds like a great date. It was kind of fun. Were they like weed vape pens? No. Oh, never mind. No, it was like menthol, lemon, banana.

I was like, I, just try it. I don't like it as much, but it is actually, yeah, that's kind of fun. It's very sharing spit. Did you guys make out after? It was like the preamble. No, I went for it, and I got cheek. And here's the fucked up part. Cheek after sharing vape?

You got cheek? She put her ass in your face? I got cheek and a little bit of butter. That's a vape But uh Yeah a lot like a vape Eating bud Yeah

Sober disgusting But after a few drinks Yeah Not so bad It doesn't taste so bad You can't do it on a plane So it wasn't like the wet hot American summer Piece of gum

That means like As soon as it touches your mouth You're gonna just make out. You know what? This is the weirdest part. She kept telling me that I felt like she was fucking with me because the whole time she was like, I don't respect men that don't just go for it. That was like a monologue about this. Dead eye contact.

I don't respect men that don't just go for it. I put my consent forms in my pocket. Then you leaned in for a kiss and she fully cheeked you? Cheeked me. You went for it. But then said, let's do it again Monday. I was like, what, get blue balled?

What the fuck? Yeah. I didn't say that. Are you going to do it? It was lovely. You said absolutely. No. That's the worst vape flavor, blue ball.

Damn, that's tough. It was weird. But now you're probably going to see her again. Nah. All right. Whoa. Did she have a vape holster? It wasn't like an amazing day to begin

with there were other problems yeah yeah the four geez when did this turn into my therapy session i didn't know you were a vape apologist she wasn't you know meeting your needs in in an emotional way i'm never home anyway so it's like it doesn't make sense to i'm home like two days a week and then when i'm home i'm just like the date is a risk When you're home two nights a week And you go on a date One of those nights And if it's bad If it's a bad date

This is the best litter you seem risky I mean you you're nude in movies that's risky yeah that's based on my life too because I used to love to streak in college in my adult life and last week at the hotel before the we met you at the wrong time I know what the hell I'm still streaking plenty now All right. Now it's on camera. You can enjoy it anytime on Amazon Prime.

You're streaked in college. That's exciting. Well, I went to an art school, CalArts, and clothing was optional everywhere, but the cafeteria. What? So nudity was very much encouraged and supported. Whoa. For art.

Yeah. That is crazy. I will say, it's not like kids were going to class naked all the time. Sure. But there were naked kids in every class. No. Oh, OK. But there was, at all of the school functions,

that is a really small school, and there's kind of one main building. And at all of the functions that took place in the main building, there was always the naked guy who came in shoes and a necklace. He came, and he also attended the party. Wow. That was the necklace. He came and he also attended the party. Wow, that was the principal.

He, yeah, so there was that guy. Mostly people were naked at the pool and it wouldn't be uncommon to see people, you know, it was an art school and I think they just wanted everybody to have that artistic freedom. It was not uncommon to see, like between classes, you'd walk past somebody doing some art installation

where they're nude and like painting their body in chocolate or body paint. Right, right. So I like to run around and streak. And I like, I thought it was funny. Made my friends laugh. Also,

we had like a very risque Halloween party. Oh, I bet. Where people would go naked and body paint or like it, you know, my first year, my freshman year, I was a sheriff.

So I wore a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, little like frilly underwear, and some sheriff stars taped to my nipples. A complete costume. We got to go back to vaping. Trying to channel that in the movie. It's the mimosa. I have a sheriff fetish. Oh, I didn't even realize.

Yeah, yeah. You play an Eric Clapton song. I'll get hard. Truly just Burt Reynolds. Yeah. I did have a mustache, too. Did you? I'm into that.

It was natural. I love Greek women. But, yeah, I was Woody for Halloween one year. The Toy Story. Oh, cool. Not the erection. We did that one. Oh, yeah, that's right. And you were Buzz? I think I was Story. Oh, cool. Not the Erection. We did that one. Oh, yeah, that's right.

And you were Buzz? I think I was Woody. Oh, you were Woody. Yeah. So we know what it's like to dress up as... Great story. We showed some balls. Yeah.

Cool story, Mark. Dude, you're getting nagged by Alison Grie. What the hell? Hell, yeah. All right, guys. Other movies we like. I like this. Tarantino.

I feel like I always rewatch, now that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is on cable a lot, I've been watching that. That's another one in the rotation. Leave it on. Every couple years, I like to go back through the full Tarantino catalog and just watch them all in order.

Excellent. I still love Hateful Eight. I know it gets a lot of bad love. You've never seen it. Maybe I'll watch it tonight, actually. It's long, but it's good. It's long. I saw it in the theater,

and they did a full, like a real intermission where music played, and we all went and got a snack, and that helped. Oh, yeah. I think I liked it much more because we actually all got to go pee,

refresh our popcorn and candy, and then come back for the back half. I think a pee break is necessary. Some of these movies. Well, these days, these three-hour movies go up on Netflix. I'm like, who's watching this straight through? Oh, my God. I'm watching it over the course of multiple nights.

Do you still go to the movie theater? Yes. Good. I love to. I do, too. But I don't have a problem with movies going straight to streaming. Case in point, somebody I used to know. I feel like comedies don't hit in the theaters anymore.

Well, it's a shame. Yeah, at the box office, I guess they don't. And it's a bummer because comedy and horror, not to bring it back to my two favorite genres, are the best to see with an audience, right? Of course. Dave and I have been traveling around and watching this movie in some theaters and it's so fun to hear everybody laugh and even during like the serious moments right to hear people give like a like a oh no it's really fun and horror movies we just saw

maybe the last horror movie i saw in the theater was barbarian oh that Oh, that was wild. So good. So good. That was so fun to see in the theater because everybody, it just makes it more fun. It honestly makes it, I think, slightly less scary. Yes. Because you're along for the ride with the whole audience. I'm like, you're not like watching it at home. Like, Barbarian's going to get me. Yeah.

Like, Barbarian's coming out of the closet. Right, right. And I watched that with a big group. Have you seen it? No. I don't want to give too much away. But when her jugs came out, everybody was like, what? It was like a collective, huh? Where would you rank her jugs compared to my jugs?

This is good. If we're doing a jug off. I would say hers are a little more longer. Sure, sure. Hers are longer. Sure, sure. Hers are longer. Okay, good. Good review of mine. Yeah, you're-

Not so long. You're doing great. Yeah. I have no basis for comparison, but I thought they looked excellent. Thank you. Yeah, great cam. Thanks, you guys.

So if I wasn't gay, you know. Thank you. The movie theater is so- I don't go enough, and I gotta get back into it. Yeah. I do love it still. It is really fun.

It's fun. I love seeing movies in the theater. It's great. I just saw The Banshees of Indus Sheeran with my mom in the theater, and that was a good theater watch, because there's a lot of discomfort. It's a good one to see. It's a funny movie. I mean, it's dark as hell.

It is, and it's beautifully shot, which is why it's fun to see on a big screen. I once saw the movie Unfaithful starring Diane Lane. Oh, that's a hot one. I've seen it a bunch of times. Selected parts only. The first time I... That is a hot movie. The first time I saw it...

What's that guy's name? The hot Hispanic guy? Sorry. Keep going. What is his name? I know it. Something else. He's so good um oh olivier martinez oh yeah he may be french oh yeah maybe he's got he's got yeah there's a lot going on yeah um the first

time i saw that in the theater i saw it in the theater with my dad oh. So I couldn't fully enjoy it. And I don't know how that happened. Were you sitting on his lap too? Jesus Christ. That's brutal. Right, it wasn't my birth dad. It was like my daddy. My zaddy.

Jeez, yeah. We did full penetration during the movie. It was great. That was a hot movie. Hot. That movie is so hot. When he fucks her on the stairwell. I know.

Am I allowed to say the F word? It's encouraged. Oh, in the bathroom? When she fucks her on the stairwell. Oh, the bathroom is great, but the stairwell is my favorite one because he pulls down her jeans just enough. Right. Not too low.

That ass is popping. Oh, it was Merkin level. Yeah. It was perfect. Just under the Merkin. Pull it up. I mean, I really, but I like it because of the performances, the grounded performances, the character arts.

I saw Species in the theater with my mom. What? There you go. Now we can relate. Yeah. That's like all, you've seen that. Oh, yeah. It's all banging.

But not in a long time. It's a silly movie. Michael Madsen, Natasha Henstridge. Yeah. But it's just. It's a lot of full frontal because she's just like, I must be, like, check out this specimen. Yes, yes, exactly.

It was brutal. I made my mom see Exit Wounds with me, and I feel horrible about that one. Oh, I've never seen that. What is that? It's Steven Seagal and DMX. It's one of the worst. And let me just say DMX blows

I like your mom For being open to that He blows them off He blows Seagal off the screen DMX had some acting jobs Oh that I believe Oh yeah It's such a bad movie

That it's good It's one of those like Over the top pieces of shit Sure The crazy thing I saw Brown Bunny in the theater With my mom Just kidding

We'll do a two girls one cup On a family reunion I saw Brown Bunny in the theater with my mom. Just kidding. We'll do a two girls, one cup family reunion. Oh, wow. Brown Bunny. That's a good pull. Gallo. Thank you. Oh, yeah. Chloe Sevigny.

Oh, yeah. She's fun. Oh, yeah. Great. Her and Natasha Hench. No, not that. Natasha Leone. Yeah, I put them in the same kind of fun, weird blonde gal. They've worked together a lot. I feel like they're close friends, yeah. Great. Her and Natasha Hench- No, not that. Natasha Leone. Yeah, I put them in the same kind of fun, weird blonde gal.

They've worked together a lot. I feel like they're close friends, too. And they're also like early aughts icons. Yes, yes. You know? Yeah. Remember Slums of Beverly Hills? So good.

Nude, full boobs. Oh, good. Boobs and bush? No, but I don't think there was a bush. Just saying. That was what you did as a kid. You would just try to find which ones had Yeah it was pre-internet porn. I mean Wild Things was big.

Oh wow. I mean. That was shocking. Come on. And then Kevin Bacon's. Was that his real dong at the end? I believe. I hope so. Because it was not perfect. So I think they wouldn't have a fake. You didn't think it was perfect? It was like him. It wasn't perfect but I'll be damned if it doesn't get the job done. Yeah.

I'm on board. Yeah. I'd high five him. Yeah. High five that dong. Just give that dong a little. It's no Jason Segel. Tap.

Now that's a dong. He is a good dong. Great. Pull it up. He likes to flaunt it. He likes to flaunt it. He really does. Yeah.

He's a fan. A lot of confidence there. Yeah. You can't write yourself into a dick scene. That's pretty weird. Yeah. Yeah. It's confident flaunt it. He really does, yeah. He's a fan. A lot of confidence there. Yeah, you can't write yourself into a dick scene. That's pretty weird. Yeah, yeah. It's confident. Chris Evans, too.

I feel like that was leaked. Oh, I don't know that. I'm not familiar with the... Oh, he's got a beautiful, beautiful hanger. Oh, wow. Jason Segel. You could have done a sit-up there, Segel. I know you're happy with your dog

He was focusing on the wrong thing Yeah But hey he's doing great he's sober That movie is a great but that's a great romcom Great romcom Yeah that one's so good so funny So funny what year was that Cause that was kinda

It was like 07 or 06 maybe 2013 is when things kind of stopped Comedy, it bums me out that comedies don't do well Like they used to I mean I feel like a lot of those people Who would pay to see comedy movies Are now just like I'll go see stand up Or I'll go see something else

Which thank god for that That's great But at the same time But everybody wants to watch comedy at home Yes And then it's cyclical Because it's like then the studios Don't want to put as much money into

the comedies. Right. So all the comedies become more indie comedies which is great but that's why then they get sold to streamers. It's like the cycle just keeps going on. But I do miss a big comedy like The Hangover or Bridesmaid. Well but the reason they were big is because they had those budgets

to them and they could really like blow shit up and make them look big and expensive. Totally. Yeah. Totally. Yeah, you're right. But they've had to go independent. But I see shit on TikTok where I'm like, this is funnier than anything I've seen in a movie

theater in 10 years. I honestly think that's why. Yes. It's TikTok and YouTube and people can watch funny, and people's attention spans. They're like, I'm laughing so hard watching this two minute video. funny get and and people's attention spans they're like I'm laughing so hard watching this two-minute video right 30 second 15 second video that they don't want to go see it but it's a bummer it's a bummer comedy movies man we watch something about Mary on the on the tour bus like

we were we were howling one of my we were we picked we picked movies were like oh you haven't seen this movie yet my friend James has never seen something about Mary. Crazy. So we watch it. And watching him howl. I mean, the scene where he's just beating the shit out of the dog. Oh, my God. That was insane.

It's so good. To go that big and to just fucking nail it. The commitment. Talk about also saggy boobies. Yes. There's a great binocular mislead where he thinks he's going to see switches to the heavier binoculars as cameron diaz is changing his shirt but he comes up on the neighbor yes yeah magda great magda that's great

gross out with heart is a good recipe for a big comedy yeah yeah yeah matt dillon stole that for me oh my god the teeth alone we watched the extended version uh because my friend i had it on dvd but i couldn't find it so he downloaded uh it illegally and it was an extended cut what's in the extended version everything they should have cut it was weird oh wow like you're like i do not appreciate having this stuff in no but there was there was one scene that they cut where you see some of them in the credits you know where you're like what's that right there oh sure that shit they cut so there's one where matt dylan on the date with cameron d as he walks her to the door and he goes can i touch your boobs and she goes okay and it's just

him squeezing her boobs i'm like it falls so flat matt dylan on the day like could i do a little improv in the scene i'm gonna just improv something okay Were you gonna yes and it? Cameron, are you in? Right. It usually is that way, right? Whenever you watch the extended cut or something like that and you're like, yeah, I see why. There's a reason this stuff made the cut. Whoever edited this, I'm like, they fucking

knew what they were doing. They found the good stuff. I'm such a Seinfeld psycho nut that I have the DVD box set thing that came out, and they have all the deleted scenes, and they're all horrible. Are they? It's so bad, which you're like, oh, it's weird seeing. You're like, oh, these guys are human.

Even the Seinfeld deleted scenes are bad. And again, yeah, you're like, maybe we shouldn't put the deleted scenes out. Right, right. Just let it live beautifully. I know. As I say that, I'm'm like there's a couple scenes in this movie and the last movie that i like wrote and produced some a couple of my favorite scenes that we ended up having to cut just for time not because they weren't playing well or anything but

it was more just like story-wise it didn't make sense like in this movie we ended up cutting a scene with me and danny pootie that came at the end of the movie and everybody loved it and it had like a great joke in it but it was just it just didn't quite make sense it just didn't make sense for the plot do you know what I mean it was like everybody a little bit and it also was like too much yeah I guess it was probably because once we wrote the role for Danny and and once we got him on board to do it then of course we wanted to like add even more stuff for me and danny to do and have like a sweet moment between our characters but like nothing's resolved yet in the movie and you're like why they're like leaving down the hall so happy and then in the next scene she's really depressed like it just

didn't make sense yeah that's tough though when though. When you got to cut a joke. Some of your best stuff. It's tough for them too. Cause they have to be like, we cut the scene. We shot it. It felt so good. We all loved it. You know? Yeah.

It's hard to, but it's also nice. I think for me, um, it's nice being on the other side of the camera and realizing how little of that has to do with you. Whereas like early days acting, you're like,

Oh my God, they cut a lot of my scenes. I guess I suck you know and now you're like oh it's not about me there's so much other stuff going on totally totally but you know we're artists so we still and also personal yeah because also sometimes it means like you're bad yeah for sure but the dramedy the fact that it has to i I mean, if it was a pure comedy. We would have left it in. Right. But you know. Good point.

But it's also good to know when to pull back, right? Like you'd rather leave people wanting more than being like, that was a really long comedy. Right. I love a 90 minute comedy. Good point. Yes. We're clocking in at like an hour 45 with credits, which means it's actually like an hour 40, 41. I feel like over two hours for a comedy,

I'm always a little bummed. I agree. I agree because it tends to fizzle out. I also feel like I'm that way on the road. If I do like, I see comics will do like an hour 30 sometimes. That's a fucking lot to ask of an audience. Wow. And an opener and a host.

And an opener. I keep my show. 90 minutes of comedy. My opener does 25 and i'll do usually like an hour an hour five i'm like that's like a 90 minute show same maybe i'll do a little more sometimes if it's like if i'm trying to work things in but i do think like there's something to a tight show because you're asking a lot of a live audience yeah definitely to laugh over and over that's a lot of energy i mean i guess it depends how much stuff if you're like working stuff out if you're sharing personal stuff i think about like um mark maron i feel like when he's on the road i'm sorry i have a little mimosa burp excuse me you want another one yeah i'll go over that i'll do one more i'm okay

for now no pressure um there There's Molly in this one. Oh, well, in that case, anything could happen. I know I haven't, I've seen Marin definitely live a few times, and we worked together on Glow. Right. And I love his comedy. I'm really excited for his new special. It looks great.

It looks so good. That trailer is awesome. He will talk about doing 90 Minutes on the road, but maybe no opener. Oh, yeah, yeah. And Marin's style of comedy, because it's so personal and he's dipping into some serious stuff, I feel like that you are more into the length is okay because it feels like you're watching like a one-man show. Yes, yes. It's like the Birbiglia.

Exactly. It's one step away from the Birbiglia. It's almost conversational. It's like we're all in this together. It's like the Berbiglia. It's one step away from the Berbiglia. It's almost conversational. It's like we're all in this together. It's interactive. And each of the audiences maybe feel kind of special that they're like, ooh, I'm seeing some of the inner workings, and maybe not all of this is going to make the special,

but I'm hearing the intimate stuff. And his style is very venti. Ranty. I connect to it a lot. It's like Jewy. I love it. Even though he still feels like a New Yorker to me, even though he's- Oh, yeah.

Well, he cut his teeth here. Yeah. He'll always be. Yeah. Yeah. I think he grew up in Arizona. He grew up in Arizona, but he's got family in Jersey. Oh, there you go.

That counts. Yeah. All right. He has an East Coast vibe, though. He really does. It's the pessimism. Yeah. Cynical.

Yeah, cynical. Yeah. Angry. But his early stuff, his early album titles are so funny. They were all called like Tickets Still Available. Yeah, cynical. Yeah. Angry. But his early stuff, his early album titles are so funny. They were all called like Tickets Still Available. Yeah, yeah. Not sold out. Not sold.

They were all like the most negative. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. I didn't know that. Do you do, this is a dumb I'm not in Hollywood question. Is this a myth or do you guys really do the focus group? Like the, what do you call that? Oh, like to test the movies.

A test show, yeah. Yeah, we did a couple test screenings oh my god well because of covid you know we shot this in 2021 so it was still sort of covid stuff and i guess we only did a couple test screenings for this movie and the first one we did over zoom you guys hate the zoom okay i'm i dave and i were separate from one another so i was on location in columbia for a shoot dave's in la the audience doesn't know that we're on the zoom also watching and everybody is logged into zoom so they're watching the movie on their computer they like get prepped beforehand and they're asked like not to go to the bathroom and so they have to really sit through the movie

and we're watching them watching on their computer and it is the worst thing i have ever experienced in my goddamn life that's brutal let me tell you i've sat in on test screenings before. Here's how people watch a comedy in a test screening live in the theater. A joke happens and they go. And on a Zoom, a joke happens and they go. We did Zoom shows. We know. Right? There's like a nod.

Maybe there's a nod. One woman like had a baby on her arm it's like people look it's not even saying anything about the movie it's like the natural state of like think of what you must look like when you're just like watching something on your computer right resting bitch face like you look bored of course in the pajamas the double chin they're eating they're eating i'd rather watch jeffrey tubin for the first like 10 minutes of that i was texting dave oh thank you just being like this is the worst experience of my life like why are we even doing this and then i will say also you have pages and pages of zoom people watching that you're scrolling through

eventually we just had to hone in on a couple that were actually giving great reactions. You go like, go to page five. There's a great woman in the upper left corner. Jesus. I know. And then we did one live screening in LA, but I couldn't be there. But Dave said he enjoyed it. And we actually did a little additional shoot after doing those screenings.

So they're helpful for sure. I think for comedy, it is essential it is it's brutal but helpful it's nice to know what's track even for the story to kind of know what's tracking and if there's one thing that's not landing you know what i mean like you want to sink the landing at the end and like are people connecting in the right way for that so like it was helpful yeah our whole, our whole job is focus grouping. Our whole job is focus grouping. I mean, you think about the road, and when you see a comedy special

and it's a little loose and disjointed, I always think, oh, that's a comic who didn't do the road. Yes. And then run it through the mud. So I'm a big believer in focus grouping for comedy. Let's take the air out. Let's find those. Because also when you're sitting with an audience,

you can tell when you feel uncomfortable that you're like, uh-oh, this is a moment that's, we're taking too long. Right. It's lagging. Like I can read based on my own body chemistry that something is awry. Yeah. Yeah. That's what's great about being married is the sexual. The body chemistry.

Well, the focus group has been done sexually. Yeah. So I know what not to do, what to do, and then you stop having sex. But, you know. Not me. Pull it up. Yeah, there's something about those Zoom shows when we were doing, during the pandemic, we'd have to do these shows on Zoom. They were the worst experiences because of what you were saying oh yeah and i remember one of them feedback is

nil they're tight but sometimes they would type feedback oh god i'd be doing sets one woman wrote uh this new stuff is just horrible and then uh and i was like well i haven't you know i have to address that now so i'm like going back i back. Because everyone can see it in the chat. And then someone else is like, fuck you, bitch. And then they start going at each other. And I'm just like, uh. Getting heckled in a Zoom chat sounds terrible. It's like performing on Reddit.

That's what I felt like I was doing. It was awful. At least you can hit mute, I guess, on the mean lady. But then everybody else sees it. You got to address it. Good point. No, no. She was typing it.

She wasn't. Oh. Yeah, dude. Brutal. Sorry. Also, there's a delay. So it's like three jokes to go. Oh, you didn't like that one.

Horrible. Horrible experience. And there were those psycho comics who would say things like, I actually like the Zoom shows. And I want to be like, quit. Yes. Go do that then. Yeah, be a, quit. Yes, go do that then. Yeah, be a Zoom comment.

Doing it for the wrong reasons. Yeah, and there's nothing worse than bombing in your home. You can bomb in a club and then go home and be like, ooh, that was rough. But now you're at home. Now you're in the same room

after the computer turns off. It just sullies your whole house and the bombs stink on it. It does. Exactly, exactly. You have to find a new corner to do your next set in on your next zoom i gotta change that background yeah you know do you think you're gonna continue to make

projects with your husband definitely definitely it's honestly gone so well we have in fact there's a couple things that we have in the works already that i won't say any more about but like we kind of started writing something recently and like signing on to another thing to do together. So yeah, we love it. Mostly, I mean, this sounds really corny, but mostly we just like being around each other. We've spent a lot of time as actors

having to shoot things and be apart for months at a time. And that sucks. Like when we make stuff together, we bring our two cats. We're like our own little traveling circus. It's great. time, and that sucks. Like when we make stuff together, we bring our two cats. We're like our own little traveling circus. It's great. Oh, that's fun. Yeah.

And if you're writing with someone you love and know, you can be honest. Totally. If you're writing with someone else, it's kind of like, oh, I hate that line, but I don't want to get friction. I don't know. Actually, I feel kind of two ways about it because I've written two movies with Jeff Baina, who's another director. So we've had the same dynamic of like I've written with him.

And then I star in the movie and he directs it. And we've actually made four films together. And I feel the opposite. Like because he's a friend of mine, I'm more just like, oh, we can be super blunt with each other about all this stuff. Like with my husband, I'm like, should we just in the way that we speak to each other about notes? Except Dave always knows. Because I'll be like, why do I have to preface anything I don't like with like, honey, I love you. You're the love of my life.

He's like, just say it. What did you like about it? Sweetheart, love of my life. On page 47. That is cool to have that, though. I mean, you know, you just get to work together. That's another part of our life. They're like,

we're never home. True. Truly. Yeah. It makes a difference just to be together and be around each other. And I think also because we watch so much stuff together that we have the same taste and sensibilities. Like it's not often that we're disagreeing on story points or dialogue.

It is funny. Every so often you'll get real, I don't know, one of us gets like really attached to a character, right? And me, I'll get all fired up. She would never say that. He's like, calm down. That's fine. We can change it.

I still can't believe Dave wanted to cut that great pootie joke. Well, geez, we got to wrap it up. We're getting a signal. Big Al, you're a mensch. This was great. Thank you. This was a lot of fun.

Thanks for having me. This was so fun. Yeah, watch Allison's new movie, Someone That I Used to Know. Somebody I Used to Know. Somebody That I Used to Know, I'm sorry, on Amazon.
