Welcome to This Is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we talk about what's obviously most critically, crucially important. Today on This Is Important. Why are you so convinced that Shia LaBeouf throws the dick down so hard? It's so important. It sucks that you guys aren't Eugene Levy. Guys, what the fuck is happening? Let's go! Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Blake, go through it. Go through it, Blake. Another one. Another one. Go. Smoke weed every day. Please don't stop the music. Remind them. I was intoxicated. Okay. And we're done. He said we're done. No, we're done. That's it. We're done. That's it. What is up, guys? This podcast may or may not be on Netflix. Netflix. Hit us with that dum-dum. I do not have that prepared. Whoa. Whoa, dude. What? I do not have a Netflix dum-dum. Embarrassing. I will get it as soon as we're live. Because we signed a deal with Netflix to be on Netflix. We did. But we don't know when. We don't know when officially we're starting that deal. So we don't know. But we are going to be on Netflix. We're pretty excited about it. I'm going to do a whole revamp. A studio zhuzh. I'm very excited. I'm very excited. It's crazy to me. And we've talked about this before. That you have our poster. That's what we do. Yeah. On the ground directly behind you where you can see it. And then when I brought that up to you, you said, well, I don't want behind me to be all about me. And I'm like, we still see that. I don't see the poster. It's just not hanging. Notice me, Senpai. Notice me. I think I told you that I don't hang things up around the house of me. Wow. Okay. Why not? But I also, I just don't want to. I'm not going to hang that up. That's not what I'm going to hang up. It's going to stay on the floor. Okay. Hang it up. I mean, it's literally, you can't even see. It's still wrapped in. I don't think I have that. I don't think Isaac sent that to me, which is pretty cool. I'll send it. You can have it. I have it. I have it up in my garage. Dude, if you get a Navigator and come over, throw it right in the back. I might. And that is the Game Over poster. If you're still listening via audio and not possibly Netflix, if and when that deal finally closes. Cannot wait. Cannot wait. Can't wait. It's my, he's, I think Papa Netflix is my favorite corporate overlord. Okay. What would you say, what's your favorite corporate overlord? Well, I'm trying to coin the evil. Empire. I'm trying to coin that. The evil empire. Okay. And how does that, how do you do that? How does one do that? And they're evil to you because they give you bigger paychecks than you've ever gotten in your life. And they're how you pay for your family, feed your family and afford your mortgage. Well, because it doesn't sound cool to say like the awesome empire. It's got to be the evil empire. It's a cool Rage Against the Machine album. Yeah. Like, come on. Okay. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I mean, evil in a nice way. Yeah. Like Dr. Evil. And it's cool. It's cool. Like we're, we're, we're like teaming up with Darth Vader, sort of. That's cool to me. I like being the bad guy. Oh, that's right. You got a bad boy streak. We're the bad guys. Don't you guys like to be the bad guy? I guess so. I can only think of one other evil overlord, Adam, and that's Zaslav. Yeah. Zaslav is a good sounding name for a. Evil. Evil overlord. Yeah. And I think that's just a fun one to say. Zaslav seems kind of like evil. And throwing up the Z is kind of sick. All hail Zaslav. Yeah. Remember when we did that? We did like an all hand. They called it all hands. And I still don't quite know what that means. But it was a for Viacom where they have a bunch of their people on their hit shows come in and do perform basically for all the head marketing people. That then spend. It's like an up front. Yeah. But they called it all hands. Yes. And so for whatever reason, Anders couldn't go. So Blake and I just went by ourselves. Yeah. And our bit was that we just came out doing this and we just go, all hail Viacom. All hail Viacom. And then got the crowd of 500 or so like ad executives to all put up their V's like this and chant all hail Viacom. Yeah. It was very fun. Yeah. And it crushed. It crushed. Turns out. It did. That worked. You know what? Did we even talk about some of the saddest news to hit the airwaves? MTV ending. MTV is gone. I knew it. I knew you were going to say it. Dude. Speaking of Viacom. And Blake just got into it a couple of years ago. Oh, dude. You're like a channel that's fully dedicated to Rob Dyrdek's ridiculousness. Yeah, absolutely. Man, does it get any better? Dude, that is crazy. It's sad to me that somebody there, and I think we've covered this, but like some programmer there was like, I crunched the numbers and if we just play ridiculousness all day and catfish all night, we do better than any other possible combination of TV shows. Perfect. And then they did it. Yeah. They did. They didn't go, we know, we know that does the best, but we can't just do that. We're MTV. We got to. We got to at least do something that resembles a specific voice. And that's, and that is why Viacom, and I don't know, maybe they're under new ownership. Maybe it'll change, but they were the worst. The worst. Soulless. Soulless. It is a giant bag fumble. Like, do you remember how, like MTV controlled culture? It literally was, the entire culture was through MTV. Mm-hmm. And it was mostly Ja Rule and Ashanti based. And Cisco, a little Cisco. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Thong Song was off the chain. True, true, true, true. Like, the spring break, beauty and the beach shit raised me. I used to record that on a VCR just to watch it back. Dude, the grind on the beach was wild. Hey, Blake, how many times did you jerk off? Yes, sir. Through beauty and the beach. Ten minutes in. Spring break, MTV. An insane amount of times. Crazy. on youtube i might have to throw that on tonight i bet blake has masturbated more to things that weren't pornography than any than any other friend that i have i i think you nailed that one i think you are right i definitely yeah i like my imagination to do a little bit of the The walking, you know what I mean? Do you like a story in your porno? I, yeah. Do you really? Yeah. I used to, I enjoyed when porno had a storyline. I wish that would come back. I think we really. They still do, but the storylines are fucking stupid. And you click through it. It's always just like. Where? Stepbrother, get out of here, stepbrother. That's not a story. And it's like, stepsister, I have to, mom says I have to be in here. Meanwhile, they're both 36 and you're like, what is, what are we doing? Right. And then the stepmom shows up and somehow she's younger. Yeah, she's 27. That's not a story. Like getting stuck in like the washer or dryer or whatever. That's not a story. Those are good. Tale as old as time. Maybe you could count the, like the real estate ones. Those are kind of a story. I'll count that as a story where they're like, oh, like I, I love this house, but how am I going to pay for it? It used to be epic tales. It used to be like. They were shipwrecked. Respionage. Right. Yeah. I remember this one called Ravenous. Oh man. It had this dude named, I think his name is Randy Spears. He's one of my favorite porno actors. This dude was killer, dude. So Isaac just wrote a very cryptic, doesn't make much sense chat here in the chat. He goes, that's main MTV is not gone. It's just the MTV music channels, MTV classic MTV. 80s, et cetera. Punk rock, getting radical. That doesn't make any sense. I don't know. What is that? That's main MTV is not gone. Well, when you put it like that. That's main MTV. And by the way. You are so dumb. Sorry. The main MTV channel is not dark. Then what is everyone talking about? I don't feel like there'd be like an international RIP for MTV 80s or MTV like classic or whatever the fuck. They call it. Yeah, right. It's just the channels that play music videos. That's MTV, isn't it? Okay. Are you saying ridiculousness lives on? So wait. So the AI video that I posted wasn't exactly truthful. Cheers. Yeah, exactly. Adam is okay. Wait, no. What, what? No, this makes no sense. No. MTV is gone. So did everyone take everyone is following the wrong story. Then Isaac, everyone just heard and ran with it. Allegedly MTV isn't is gone. It's gone. Then, then turn it on right now. Isaac, if it's still there, turn it on right now. Right now. She gone. Okay. Well, maybe I, I mean, maybe Isaac's right. He does know some stuff that AI thing you posted. It was dope though. Cause I totally forgot about celebrity death match. That show used to kick ass, dude. Oh yeah. There they went down. Like I was trying to find it, but I, I posted it, uh, more than 24 hours ago. So it's no longer in my story, but it, you saw Kurt loader, you saw, yeah. Uh, Carson Daly, you know, his celebrity death match. It was the jackass guys. Yeah. It kind of went down the little laundry list of, of classic MTV stuff. And you're like, man, there were some, these guys were juggernauts. Yeah. These guys were major, major stars ended with Simon Rex. Yeah. I don't think Simon made it. I don't know. Then maybe I saw another one that ended on him. It had unplugged. Remember unplugged was off the fucking hook and Nirvana unplugged. That one was great. Great. This is important. This is important. Thank you. Yes. Favorite MTV unplug. Ooh. That's you guys can't say Atlantis. That's mine. No, but go ahead. Go ahead. Go off King. I, you know what? I really like Jay Z's Jay Z's unplugged album is fucking dope dude. With the roots were his backup band. Yes. I believe they are. Yeah. It's really good. It's very good. Erykah Badu comes out on it. Yeah. Someone comes out on it. Are you at Lauryn Hill? Did Lauryn Hill have one or did she come out on his Mary J. Blige says Todd? It's Mary J. Blige. I mean, this is so basic, but I, I think I just have to say Nirvana and I know that that's the one that everybody thinks of, but it's great, but I'm a basic rich and I, I do admit that. Adam, that's kind of right where you're at. No, that's okay. That is great. That one is great. And that album is, is perfect. It was so good. And that, that, that song. Yeah. That they sang by the Meat Puppets where they go, where the bad wolves go and they die. They don't go to heaven where the angels fly. Perfect. Go to a place of fire. Yeah. Yeah. Adam, what about? He does the whole song. That one. What's going on? And then he finishes and goes, I like that one. Oh, the 4th of July. That's probably the one song I, I didn't like. I love that song and I still love that song. Why do you love that song so much? Dude, it just tickled me. Give me a little tickle. Give me a little tickle to my pickle. I don't like Polly Wants a Cracker. Oh, that one's sick. Polly Wants a Cracker. That one's dark, dude. Yeah. That one's dark. Cause it's, when you're 12, it's cool. Cause it's like, she won't get off or whatever. You're like, oh. That one's dark. Um, and they were the first ones to do covers that kind of set that trend or am I crazy? Am I, am I off my rocker? Oh, cause they, they did a David Bowie cover. Well, they did like four covers, I think. Well, and also Meat Puppets, that song, that's not Thursday. Bam. They did a bunch of covers. Yeah. I don't count the Meat Puppets one, really. And, and that's always been your thing. I'm always talking Meat Puppets. No matter what, he never counts Meat Puppets. Yeah, no. Maybe I say Meat Puppets top, top five favorite bands of all time. What? Dude. Whoa. Big swing. I like that. Them and Butthole Surfer for Adam. It's a real, it's a real, if you know, you know. The presidency of the United States of America. Yeah. Okay. I like that. Specifically Trump. I like that. Have you guys ever had a moment like this? And this is regarding this. Okay. When I was an assistant in Bones, I was, I was pretty, not like super tight with a writer, but like we would hang out and like throw the football like outside the office and like kick it when we were bored or whatever. And we were talking about The Man Who Sold the World, that song, the Bowie song. Great. It was like, yeah, like, I mean, it's such a good song. Even Bowie covered it. I don't know that song. It's so good. It's the, it's the famous one from that album. Oh, that's The Man Who Sold the World. So that's a Bowie song. Oh, that's not their song. No, that's a Bowie song. And he was like, such a good song. Even Bowie covered it from them. And I was like, no, they covered Bowie and he goes, no, they had it first. And I was like, you're telling me that The Man Who Sold the World was a Nirvana song and not a Bowie song first? And he's like, yeah. Why would he dig his heels in? I don't know. I don't know. But you're wrong. You are so dumb. It's a Bowie album. He looked it up and then he was like, all right. And we never threw the football again. We never threw the football again. After that, it was just a little awkward. Like the power dynamic because I was like the assistant and like whatever. Wow. He'd be like, hey, let's go throw a football around. I'm like, you're a writer. And I liked the guy. Nice guy. Yeah. But like. Why didn't you just let him have that? And now you threw the. No, no, no. Dearest doesn't let people have things. No, he doesn't. No. You're not going to have a thing around him. If there's one thing I know about Dearest, he ain't going to let you have. Shit. No, you're not having it. My boy is coming for your throat. He's going to let you know. And by the way, he wasn't really catching the football at all. What? What? No. It's like, you know, now I'm just throwing shade. But I do remember being like, oh, fuck. See you around. There it goes. And that's how Hollywood works. That's how Hollywood works. But that, no. Great album. Great album. David Bowie. That album came out in 1970. Yeah. Bam. Bam. I love that album. Yeah. What are you, siding with a writer now? I love that album. Adam's like, give him some grace. Give him some grace. Well, you know what? I started to, for the first time, I think we talked about on the podcast, I have not seen Spinal Tap. I've never seen it. Oh. It's time to tap out. Dude, that's a great, that has great music in it as well. Stonehenge. That one's so good, dude. And I wrote a movie this past year, or we wrote a treatment to a movie that we hope to write. It's called Jerry Zucker of the Zucker Brothers. Okay. And he's so funny. And he's an older guy. He's 75 years old now. And I'm like, he's so fucking funny. And I'm like, I think I have to give some flowers, not to him, but to- Careful. It's hard to, you know, Jerry, if you're listening, don't, I'm not not giving you flowers. And you know that he is. But if I give flowers, people pass away. So I'm not giving you flowers. Right. It's science. But I'm like, I think I have to go back and watch some of these older, older, older, older people. I'm not giving you flowers. I'm like, I'm not giving you flowers. Fast forwarding. That's all part of the experience. It's really good. But it's so fucking funny, dude. And it's so well done. It's hilarious. Smell the glove. Your album, Smell the Glove. That is so good. That is so good. When they get lost, when they get lost trying to get to the stage. Yeah, right. Has the egg happened where he's like, has that happened yet where he's trapped? No, I don't think that's happened. Stop, stop, stop. It's so good. The 18-inch Stonehenge has happened. Dude, it is a very, very funny movie. It might be one of the funniest movies of all time. Yeah, and I don't know why I never, it's not that I didn't give it love. Everyone said that it was great and very funny and I just hadn't seen it. I was like, I don't know if I want to watch this old movie. To your credit, to your point earlier, it is old. It's from 1980 or 81 or some shit, right? Is it? Yeah, I thought it was even earlier. It's way old and it wasn't a normal movie. Uh-uh. Like it was a mockumentary. And so like, you really got to re, like now mockumentaries are, we all know it, right? Yeah, sure, sure. But back then, as a kid especially, you kind of had to like reframe the whole like concept of like, okay, got it. They're making fun of this band. It's not just like a straightforward, silly movie. What was the first mockumentary? Was it Spinal Tap? It's some Italian movie. I think there's some movie where they say the original mockumentary was like, well, it's, it's fucking awesome. And it made me go and have a deeper appreciation for older comedians and how fucking trailblazing and funny they were. And I watched the John Candy documentary. I got to watch that. All of those guys were just so damn good and they all came up together and it made me, you know, just be. It's that your friends aren't as funny. Yeah, I'm like, it sucks that you guys aren't Eugene Levy. Yeah. You said they. Well, Adam, to your point, to your point, and by the way, I think it was the one I'm looking, the one I was thinking of was Fellini's The Clowns. There's some, someone talks about that movie. Okay.

The amount of funny people who I'm like, in all, like I thought were funny then, but now after working in the business and being like, oh, you guys were all super talents. Not only were you funny, you played instruments. Oh, yeah. And like, wrote this, and like, this was all improvised. Like, even the people who were like the eighth banana in a movie, like, like a Martin, even, because, like a Martin Ball. If you go back and watch early Martin Ball. Which bro is that? This dude's out of control funny. He's not even in, in, this is Spinal Tap. But then like, the dude who shows up is like the captain with like the captain's hat. Who's in like every Christopher Guest movie. But he just pops in and like lights it up and then peaces out. Yeah. Super funny. I mean, just like, I mean, there's so many funny people in that movie too. And it was cool. It's, it's what they used to do with comedy and, and they, they still would if, if they made comedy movies, but they've, they've stopped making them. And I like when you say that people get mad. People are like, they fucking still make, they don't, they don't make them. No, they don't. No, they don't. And by the way, those people, Adam, were like stage comedians. Like they got, like whether they were standups or like improv comedians, they got in fucking reps back when like that was it. And then they got put on. Now you get put, you do your reps in front of the world and you can make it and be funny. And there's plenty of Instagram or TikTokers who are funny, but there's a, but you're doing it out into space. There's a different muscle that you can't get when you do it on stage. When you're doing it on stage for sure. And you hone it and you hone it and you hone it with your homies and then you have like a thing together. So when you are doing it in the void, AKA a camera for a movie, you know what worked and you know the rhythms and all that shit. That's what I think they have that is missing from comedies now. I think comedies now are made with an editor. You know, like they, they, they let it roll in those movies in a way that you're like, the timing is less edited edited then. And also they stopped making comedies. Yeah, because they used to make they're manufactured now. They truly used to make 50 a year. Yeah. And now there's like three that come out in the theaters, like huge releases. And that obviously that's a lot less. Yeah. So people aren't breaking from, they used to like, you know, some funny, funny kids, they make a movie, they put it out. If it pops, they get to make more movies. And now they don't do that. What do we think the science is behind this? Does anybody have a theory? Not having comedies? Besides like the executive reason where it's like, hey, comedy doesn't travel and we don't want to make a movie just for here. It's got to play so we can make our backup. I think that's a major one. I think that's a lot of it. And then I think it's DVDs. Yeah. The fact that there's no DVDs anymore. So that's where comedies made a lot of their money was even it came, if it came out, out and made some money in the theaters, then. If it's a hit and they have a cult following, like, it would make all their money and plus. Right. But what's the difference between DVDs and streaming? The amount of money. You have to pay. Yeah. You have to pay for the DVDs. So, you're saying they don't recoup as much. But if you're… Because streaming is… They wanted every movie to be worldwide because that's how they get new subscribers. Right. So, if they just release movies that are only successful in America, America is saturated. And there's no A24. There's no A24 for comedy. Yeah. Like, A24, they're like, we don't want to make that much money. David Gordon Green, I guess, he was telling me that Blumhouse. So, he's friends with… What's the Blumhouse guy? What is his name? Jason. Jason Blumhouse. Jason Blum. Jason Blum. Big Blum. Yes. The big Blum. So, he's friends with… David Gordon Green is friends with Jason Blum. And I don't think I'm speaking out of turn because he told me this. He… Jason told him… To say that he should do Blumhouse but for comedy. Make them super dirt cheap. Right. And then, once one hits… Right. Then, they're off to the races. Mm-hmm. You know? Well, is that the answer? Sorry. I thought Jason Blum was going to go, we thought about that, but here's the reason we don't do it. No. I mean, I don't know. He says Jason Blum was like, it could work. Like, it needs someone like a David Gordon Green with a pedigree and with… Because, you know, David's directed a lot of big movies. Do you think there's anything to just the style of consuming comedy has changed so much because of phones and scrolling? Absolutely. The funniest stuff. That's the other thing. And, like, physical… Like, physical gags. You used to have to go to the movies to see, like, somebody fall off a roof and, like, land on their nuts or whatever. And even if it wasn't, like, fully accurate, if it was good enough, slapstick, whatever, stuntman, you lost your shit. And that's… And I'm speaking base level comedy as opposed to… As opposed to, like, smart guy comedy because I still think there's a place for that. But just, like, baseline 12-year-old boy comedy, you kind of can't beat the real shit you see on the internet with somebody just really falling off of a roof and landing on their nuts. It's like we have America's… And then you scroll up. Yeah, it's America's Funniest Home Videos. America's Funniest Home Videos 24-7, which was the greatest show ever. Or Jackass. Totally. Like, you can't do Jackass anymore because you're competing against… Against the population of planet Earth, right? Right. Well, kind of, remember, because there… Who was that one dude, remember? He would, like, squeeze lemons in his eyes all the time. Remember him? Supreme Patty or something. Remember that dude? This is an internet guy? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Internet guy. I remember him. I think you're right. That was kind of, like, the next wave of, like, Jackass. It was just people, like, fucking themselves up. Well, now it's just you have your YouTube channel or you stream constantly and that's… It's your Jackass. Right. And those… By the way, those guys have made more money than Johnny Knoxville. Like, they… You know what I mean? So, and Johnny Knoxville has to, like, piss in a bag or whatever. I don't know if he still has to, but for a long time, he did. Right. So, I don't know. Yeah, things have changed. It does suck because I do really miss comedies in the theater. Oh, for sure. What's the last funny comedy you guys saw? Naked Gun. Oh, yeah. Naked Gun, yeah. Yeah. I haven't seen… I have not gotten to go to the theater yet, but I plan on going to see Anaconda. Oh, that's funny. But I've yet to see it. Oh, yeah. It's funny. What the hell? That's right. That's a comedy, right? Yeah. Hell, yeah. Yeah, Blake. Yeah. That came out. But it hasn't… But here's the thing is that… Well, the original wasn't. It's a horror comedy. Like, it's got a killer snake. So, it's… Yeah. It's not more that than it is a comedy, but it kind of rides the line in a way that you're like… Yeah, you have to do… You have to be… You have to be something else that isn't just a comedy. Right. Even when we did Game Over Man, it was like… It was action comedy. It was an action comedy. So, you… Did you guys see Just One of Those Days? Or Just One of Them Days? What's that? No. That was the one with Kiki Palmer. Oh, I heard it was very good. Super funny. Yeah. Super funny. That's the last funny movie I've seen. I want to check that out. Where I'm like, this is it. And by the way, it's just about getting rent. There you go. Classic. Love it. It's just about getting rent. Love it. I love it. Through a new lens. Girls in the Hood. Figuring it out. Very specific. So funny. I got to check that out. I'm trying to… I'm really trying to watch a lot of movies right now. I just saw One Battle After Another. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Really? Yeah. You weren't in on that one? No. That movie's stupid. That movie… I was watching it going, I hate… What? I hate that this movie feels kind of stupid. Stupid? Stupid? Yeah, like, what do you mean? Well, I thought it was, like, funny in ways. Like, it was making me laugh. Is that what you mean by stupid? Yeah, what do you mean? No, like, kind of not thought out. Like, just not good. I didn't… I just didn't believe anything. Hey, it looks like PTA's not going to call you back. He's mad because he cut him out of that movie. Yeah. Yeah, he's mad because he got… That also wasn't that good. I like Licorice Pizza. I thought that was good. That was great. But this seems like it was the year of dumb movies. I just watched The Long Walk on the airplane from Mexico. Oh, that one's about literally, like, a long walk. It's a Stephen King movie. It's literally, like, Running Man or, like, Hunger Games where it's… The society has crumbled. Everyone's poor. So, you sign up to walk and… Okay. I like taking a walk. I'm not… Whoever is the last one standing wins a bunch of money and then one wish. And I haven't finished it. It's going to take a lot for me to go back and turn this on. You know, I watched The Running Man. They're like, Mike, keep… Oh, The Running Man is also just dumb. Dude, I wanted to love it because I love Edgar Wright. I think Glenn Powell's great. Like, I like him. And I was really excited for it because it looks really cool. Like, it looks… Fucking sick. Like, a fun movie. A world you wanted to live in. And it just didn't get me. I was just like, oh, yeah. I mean, it was fine. I didn't hate it. I, like, enjoyed my time watching it. But I wasn't blown away like I was by some of his other movies. Like, Baby Driver I thought was sick. That was a good one. Baby Driver was cute AF. That was fun. But there was no, like… Into The Running Man? There just was no, like, intelligent move. Like, there was no part where I was like, oh, this guy's a smart character. He did something really genuinely intelligent about this whole… Not like here and there. Like, oh, he outsmarted him there. I'm saying, like, satisfying at the end where you go, yeah, this guy fucking rocks. Well, Arnold didn't do that. It's like the reason The Fugitive is fucking cool is because he does things throughout that you're like, oh, what a brilliant idea. And it's a detective movie at the same time. Right. Right? Well, that's true. And by the way… The Running Man for me, they're like, he's like a tough guy. And he's like walking around like, tough guy. And I'm like, just chill. Just chill. And then he gets cattle prodded and, like, holds on to it. And he's like… And they're like… Don't do that again. And they're like, whoa, you're just pissed off at everything. And I was like, okay, so that's going to be the thing. He's just like an angry, pissed off guy. And then they kind of just abandon that. And he's not that… What? I got to watch it. It just is starting to sound kind of cool. Cool. I just… These movies… And by the way, I know if you're listening, you're like, well, then fucking write one, dude. I'm trying. It's really hard. And when you write something that isn't stupid, they don't want to make it. Okay. Here it goes. They give you a note that goes, hey, can you just kind of not… Let's stupid it up. Can you explain this scene? They do. Because now… Don't write no. They go, can you explain this? And I go, well, you don't get it? They go, no, no, no, we get it. But like… No, no, we get it. It seems like you need to have the character say it out loud. You can't just have him punch the wall. You got to have him go, I'm pissed because of the thing. And it's like, well, the thing just happened. I'm pissed now. And then he punched the wall. Because of the thing. It is. I think you guys are also explaining why like comedy is on the internet and on Instagram is because it's people's pure comedic perspective. It's no notes are given. They're just… This episode's fun. They're giving you the funniest… The funniest shit. So they don't… It doesn't have to go through any of those filters of people going… Can you explain this or… I know. But also, the annoying thing is it doesn't tell any sort of story. Like, I like a story. And when the guy takes his mask off, you're like, wait, who's the guy? I've never seen this. The like main hunter or whatever? I'm like… No, I'm saying on the internet. Sorry. I mean like on the internet, I'm like there's no story to it. It's just like girls be walking like this and guys be like… And you're like… And you're like… Yeah! Yeah, Blake likes it. But I'm like, I like it. I like it as some kind of story, but… Or just a guy dressed as a bush jumping out at people like at the fucking boardwalk. No, you know what's hella funny? You know what's really funny? But you know what? I want to see that movie and we follow him home. Right. And he takes off the bush costume and you see how sad his life is. He's got nine children he can't feed. Yeah. Dude, you know what's really funny? I love those videos. His wife screams at him. The golfers where they like tie snakes. fake snakes to the people golfing. Dude, I can watch those for months. Yeah, you're the reason comedies are out of the theaters. Thanks, bud. You need to watch those fake snake videos. They are very good. I will say I watched Weapons, which I really liked. I thought that one stuck with me. That was a really cool movie. Yeah, Weapons rocked. Weapons was probably my favorite. My mom goes, well, that was stupid. And I'm like, she gets it. And she goes, that was just one of those silly movies that you just watch. And you go, stupid. And I go, I don't know. I think people like it. And she goes, no, this is one of those movies that you just put on and go, stupid. And I'm like, mom, this is the biggest movie, like horror movie to come out this year. People really liked it. And she's like, I don't know. She was like, she couldn't believe. That anyone likes the movie. Here's what I'll say. I saw, again, the internet. Somebody just go, so no one checked the basement of the house. And no one thought those parents. No one thought those parents. Stupid. The fact that the parents were missing and couldn't come to the school. But an insane, deranged seeming woman came. And everyone seemed cool with that. That. Yeah, man. Hey, maybe your mom was right. I went, stupid. And so I do think like. Stupid. I do think that the premise. Goofy. The premise was thinner than the execution. I think that movie was executed really well. With the exception of the gun over the house at that one moment. Gun over the house. The like AK-47 shadow. I forgot about that. And I was like, I feel like we've covered this. Because I was like, I saw that and I go, forget it. You didn't see it. Don't worry about it. Don't let it ruin it. And then I liked the ending. I thought it was fun and blah, blah, blah. But man, the movies this year, I'm like, I don't care about these movies. I don't care about these movies. Well, come on. I love how you say movies. Durst says movies in such a specific, fun way. What do I say? Movies. Movies. You say movies. Movies. Here's what I would have liked. Movies. One battle after another. I thought we'd go. If instead of Leonardo DiCaprio, they got Shia. Shia LaBeouf. That's your hot take. So instead, you would have liked this movie. So instead of the biggest movie star, who's also a great. Great actor. Leo wasn't good. Here's my hot take. I'm not saying he's a bad actor. I think he was miscast. Great actor. We get a certified Looney Tune. Who is also a great actor. Here's my take. Isn't he our best for his age, for his generation? Shia LaBeouf? That's a good question. I'll stack him up. I'll stack him up. Who are others of his gen? Let me just. Let me. I'm willing to get in. But I do want to just say, I think the movie didn't work for me because fundamentally, Leo just seemed too sloppy. I'm like, this girl's not fucking this guy. There's no fucking way in the world. This tough, beautiful, has her fucking shit together, doesn't take shit from anybody is like, yeah, but I fuck this clown. There's no way. Dude, she loved him for his mind. It wasn't just because. What mind? He was. I'm the bomb guy. He was. He was devoted, man. This is my take. Is that. Well, then maybe she was miscast because you're right. She was. She was great. Stunningly hot. She was awesome. I liked her. I liked her. Maybe we got to hug her up a little bit. No, no, no, no. I think she popped. I don't think Leo popped. But here's my take is that Shia has a more like rigid kind of militantness to him. Sure. I would much have rather. Seen a militant, dumb guy. Okay. Hang on. Who loses everything, becomes an alcoholic stoner, but then is like hell bent on getting his daughter, but is a dumb militant guy instead of like a sloppy, dumb guy. But that's what that's what Sean Penn is. That's why they're the opposite. No, no, no. But who? It didn't work. Well, and didn't work. Producer. Anna is saying, I don't know. Girls stay fucking doofy ass dudes, which is true, which is true. Dude, girls do be fucking doofy ass dudes because it's not like he probably had good. Well, look at my wife. My wife. I've got a beautiful wife. And look at me. I know you're rich. You're rich. Adam, you're rich. You're rich. Adam, get over it. You're rich. I'm not over it. This guy's living in the fucking middle of nowhere building bombs. Dude. That's true. But he's great at building bombs. He stood for something. I'm just saying. It's better than I am. He was rich. I'm just saying. Rich in his beliefs. Come on, man. And it just didn't seem like a world that I was believing. I'm like. Yeah. And also, underneath the doofy ass, he's Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah, he's gorgeous. She probably saw him shaved once. And he was shaved. He wore a suit. He had to go to a wedding. And she saw what he could be. And she was like, Jesus Christ. When he. He pulled his hair back. He was hot, dude. Fucking wolf. Let me just say this. Shia's hitting it. Leo's not hitting it. Shia's hitting it. Very shaggy dick. I'm not saying he throws the dick down. What I'm saying is. I'm saying it. He's crazy, dude. He wants to. Like, he's into it. I don't think. Leonardo DiCaprio's laying down and that chick's riding him. She can get that anyway. Why is she married? Like, why is she? No. See, and now I've turned the page and I'm with you, bud. Thank you. Because when you broke it down like this. I love this critique. When you broke it down like this, this makes perfect sense. Because Leo, he just is a guy that has been with thousands of women. And as good of an actor as he is, he's bringing that to a performance. He's bringing that to a performance. So he's lazy. He's lazy. He's lazy in bed. He's not giving it at all. Shia, I don't know. He's the kind of guy that I can see him. He's a giver. I could see him just going on like a pussy fast. It's a mission. And he does it. He's like, I actually haven't had sex in six years. Right. And then when he dives back in, he's going to be such, such a fucking lover. Oh. And these women will be pleased left and right. 69, dudes. This isn't even what the movie's about. Yeah, but then they're bringing that to the performance. See, that's, you know. In five years, when AI gets there, I'm plucking, I'm plugging in Shia to this movie. Plucking and plugging. And it's going to be better. See, no, because that's not even what the movie's about. Can you imagine a serious, a serious dumb person trying to save the world? It's so much better than a guy who's like, I got a long jacket. I don't know what I'm doing. You're worried about the wrong relationship. It's about a father. And his daughter. It's not about the lovers. I don't believe that this guy's a good dad either. I think that a serious. Oh, man, he's trying his best. I, no. I'm telling you. Well, he's just a stoner, dude. He's just a stoner. I know, but he's, he seemed like a stoner already. So then for him to become, what, more of a stoner? It's not a turn. That's a cool movie. I want to see a guy who, like, is fixated on doing this thing and fighting the revolution. Who is too stupid to do a good job. No, but he. He wasn't fixated on fighting the revolution. He was fixated on pleasing his psychotic girlfriend. No, he wasn't, though. He was, she was like, let's fuck right here. Let's do this. And he was like, gotcha, bitch. All right. Yeah. Well, he was, I mean, he was trying to please her. She's a absolute psychopath who wants to lead the revolution. By the way, who turned on his ass. Fuck her. And I'm, and I'm wondering why. And I'm asking. Okay. I'm asking, and I'm not like, uh, this is not like, uh, me. This is not a takedown. And if you haven't seen this movie, uh, sorry. Sorry. Oops. It's six 47 on a Friday.

ohio.com and what's the girl's name what is her name tina taylor is that right tiana taylor tiana taylor tiana taylor she's great um why she's fucking sean penn and like you can get into the like the like the power dynamic but like gross like yeah there's got to be somebody else you want to overpower who isn't that guy well and also it's because she was an absolute psychopath and by the way tiana taylor i'm looking at her she was strikingly she's a striking looking woman she's on mail she's gorgeous but so here's my thing you're letting that guy come in you fuck it because it's stopped it ends up being his daughter right it's love i guess my whole my whole thing is that chick that they illustrated that they kind of defined as this thing is not letting that guy come inside of her when they show this when they show the sex she pulls a gun out and i'm guessing puts it in his asshole is what they're kind of alluding to right i guess i gotta re-watch it i'm like so so like okay yeah you're getting me fucking a little chubbed up over here explaining so that i understand i go okay so she sticks a gun in the asshole of a militant white guy love that but then she lets him come in her don't understand that that's a huge leap for me i don't know bro maybe maybe she scooped it in herself maybe she scooped it in herself as a power move we don't know even i think you guys are i i think you're getting hung up on the wrong things there's it's a father-daughter movie it's not about cum he's not even the dad dude for ders it's always about cum dude it always every movie that's why he couldn't watch wonka that's why wonka fell off for him it was it was too cum based comedy make comedies make comedies great again and i i thought i i found it super boring until they had the like device super boring until they had the device where it's like is it his kid or or the other guy's kid also isaac's chiming in with a thing that i brought up 15 minutes ago she also snitched on all of her friends we know isaac i i liked the movie a lot i thought it was really awesome i thought it was reminiscent i liked it too i i yeah i thought it was dope i wasn't and people are like best movie of the year i was people call it a masterpiece and i'm like what are we doing what are we doing i thought it was really great a little underwhelmed by that because i'm like i liked i i liked it but i wasn't like this is the best we have all year long this is number one i think weapons is one i liked weapons for him let me ask you guys a question would you ever watch that movie again yes because benicio del toro bro dude's a fucking man he's lukewarm in that movie what he kills it he's a nice guy he's a cool guy he's like i got a beer let's go and you're like great yeah and he's helping you know he's helping out that's it not enough i don't watch a lot of movies twice so that's a odd question but i would watch it yeah i liked it a lot i put a gun to your head you would watch it like i'm surprised you even watched these movies when you're too but when guys are fucking getting their nuts kicked on the internet and when guys are putting lemons trust me seeing lemons in their eyes on the internet well i watched the movie while i was on instagram but yeah okay it was really good in the background that checks out and by the way pta made many masterpieces pta rock many so he's he's good he's good to go this just for me i was like sitting there going no interesting no that ain't it the whole time he's just like i wish it was shia labeouf as soon as i walked out i go buff boy should have been shia should have been shia or like a john barrenthal some like i don't think he works anymore hard-edged guy is way funnier to watch failing because they're stupid because they so seriously want it that to me is because for me the comedy of it is like a guy who's incapable of saving the day all right he's just he's really trying to save the day and he's failing he can't remember the i don't know the password it's funny one time i think they did it three or four times and i'm like we know he doesn't know it that's funny it would and adam it is funny the first time and then when he doesn't know the second time i liked it the second and third time too i like to beat a dead horse though but uh any takebacks any apologies any epic slams uh just a bunch of double downs for me weapons is number one for you blake or you adam i think so i think that was my favorite movie this year of the handful of movies i've seen uh yeah weapons weapons was really good yeah i don't even know what i've seen this year my mom thought it was so dumb stupid stupid she's like oh gosh well that was just a goofy movie to watch and i'm like yeah it's it's a big hit mom couldn't wrap her head around it yeah but that doesn't make it good sinners also awful wow dears you're on a ramp sinners is the other big movie i like sinners laugh out loud i laughed so hard at that movie i was like the the white guys like doing like irish jigs uh was pretty funny howling in the theater i'm like we're really watching these white people irish jig as vampires outside of a house that they're trapped in where's the tension this is a bad movie wait a second you've been walking in and out of here all night and now you're asking me if you can come in and you're not just coming in you guys you guys pick up on this shit i'm like what are we doing here and then when the woman just screams and lets everybody in well it's in the other room the guy's already turned into a vampire so it's that's already happened and now they're like wait and for anybody i know the audience is already we already know like you want for anybody who hasn't seen these movies i would like to take back yeah talking about them and ruining them for everybody that's right um we did and by the way if you haven't seen these movies what are you doing get into the theater support the art well by the way they're all on streaming now they are just streaming yeah you could easily watch it what did i watch this year i'm like i'm online now and i'm looking at these movies and i'm like what was good i did like weapons i

it wasn't eventized at all so i don't remember it in the same way i saw eddington i thought eddington was okay until i saw uh one battle after another and now i really like eddington i think that's
