>> I know, I never do that.

>> I know.

“>> Are you going to allow people to come in for a guest paragraph?”

>> This is the second time that you asked if you can come in for a guest paragraph. >> Well, that's all I'm capable of as a paragraph. >> Yeah, you say that, but then you're going to be like, actually I just kind of let it. >> That's five thousand worth. >> Yeah.

>> Yeah, what are you up to, you still working? >> My real passion is my hobby. >> [LAUGH] >> We're just working with Andy Greenwald on the watch. >> That's great.

Apple Watch is not a medical device, and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice. >> [MUSIC] >> All right, hardest I've ever laughed at a movie theater. Not Rushmore, they could gun, okay? There's something about Mary, the hangover, and Buffalo Bill and Silence of the Lamps.

That's my top four. Three of them are companies, simply in this one. >> Hereditary, in the mix there at all, or no. >> [LAUGH] >> [LAUGH]

>> Those are my top four, but I saw this in the theater with my future wife, and just rock his laughter. People just love this movie.

“>> How long have you guys been together when you saw this?”

>> The first summer we were together.

>> Oh, wow. >> The first movies you guys saw together, probably. >> Yeah, one of them. >> Do you think of it like a test in any way, like if she likes this, we're good? >> You know, I didn't think of that at the time, but I do feel like I was probably destined

to be with somebody who would have laughed during a lot of this movie, right? If you're sitting next to somebody who's like, uh, probably a bad sign. >> What do you see? >> What do you see it? >> Still one of the most memorable theater-going experiences in my life.

I saw this one, I believe in Boston. I think almost as soon as it came out, and it was like, it was like watching like people go through like a religious experience, like falling into the aisles, people crying, like sodas and popcorns flying in the air, and that's that kind of two track mind you have watching it where you're laughing at it, and you're also like,

I can't believe they're pulling this off, or I can't believe it going for this. So yeah, just definitely like burned into my memory.

>> I vividly remember seeing it for the first time.

I saw with 10 friends, it was in the summer of '98. I was 15 turning 16, and it was like going to church for a bunch of teenage boys. It was like the apotheosis of what was happening in comedies at this point. >> Yeah. >> And rock is laughter.

“I think as I look at the movie now, which I still think is so funny, I actually don't”

think it's really lost an inch of how much it makes me laugh, but I don't think I really understood what the movie was trying to accomplish at all. Like I could only react to the set piece, it's like I wasn't thinking about the ideas, I wasn't even thinking about the weirdness of the characters, and so it's funny that it still has the power that it had when I was with 10 other dudes in a movie theater.

>> It was a really weird rewatch because I was like, oh, I'm going in, and it's frank and beans and it's hair gel, and I was like, is Matt Dylan in this movie, one of the greatest comedies in some way, it's true, I was like, this guy is throwing a perfect game in this movie. >> Yeah, I remember Goldman wrote about this in a couple different ways, but he who is obsessed

with this movie, how like smartly constructed it was. He did the more adventures screen trade and did a whole thing about the zippersin and just

I think that's what it's been on a million times.

I was good sucked in, just structure of it, how smart it is, how well constructed it is from start to finish, how good the characters in, like we had the D on waiters award, it's probably 10 D on waiters in this movie, and they're all coming in hot, and the movie just doesn't let up, and I don't think a Peter's off at all. >> No.

“>> The first hour is probably a little funnier, but I think it just rides, and then you have”

like great performances, including Cameron Diaz, who was like, became an A+ list or after this movie. >> Yeah. The funniest thing about watching at this time was how gutsy it is for stiller to basically do this movie, and in the entire film, is him reacting to stuff.

It's like, it is the most straight man lead performance in a comedy that I can think of in a lot of ways, because it's so thankless he's going to basically get his balls caught in his zipper, yeah, he's going to flow his load, and he's going to get, like, run through the ringer of this entire movie, and everybody else is going to give him a rest stop, the bath houses of the night, it's going to be, hey, wait your turn, J-J-Kids in this room, but

it's just a great lead performance, because he's just like, I'm going to let everybody else cook while I move through this movie. But by the same token, you can feel him making a choice that's like, I found my movie star persona. >> Yeah.

>> I think this is the movie that unlocks the similar kind of character he plays in, like, 10 consecutive studios after this. So it's actually really smart on his part, because before this, you know, he's in some interesting movies, and he's still trying to figure out he's balancing a lot of these, like, independent dramas, the same year as permanent midnight, same year as Lesson Zero.

>> Don't forget, we're friends and neighbors, you're friends and neighbors. >> J-J-Kids. >> It's a ton of long story about the guy in high school. >> And he's already directed reality by its, and he's had the TV show, but he, this isn't the guy from meet your, meet the parents, you know, this isn't the guy from

night to the museum yet. >> So he's gonna do this later, but we can do it now, he had not carried a movie yet. He was Ben Stowler show reality by its heavy weights, if Lucy fell flirting with disaster, directed the cable guy. The year before he did episodes of friends and layer of Sanders, he was the second lead

of zero effect in 1998 with Bill Paulman and Ryan O'Neill, I don't know if I shot on that I'm 4K. >> Really funny movie. >> Really? >> Yeah, it's like, Detective comedy that's played very straight.

>> But I didn't think Ben Stowler could lead a movie, I didn't know what he was, and he goes from this 11 year run of, there's something about Mary, meet the parents, Zulander, world-tannabombs, along Kampali, Starskin Hutch, Anchorman, Dodgeball, meet the fuckers, Harperick, Kid, Troppin Thunder, just all in a row.

“>> Yeah. And he becomes the biggest comedy star we have, which I think the odds in 1998”

of like our next giant comedy star would be Ben Stowler, would have been a hundred to one.

>> No, I never would have guessed it.

>> He was doing things outside of movie roles though, he was hosting the MTV Movie Awards, and he was doing that, the famous, the Tom Cruise stunt double thing. >> Yeah. >> He did have cool comedy guy, and he was making himself known. >> But I almost could have seen him having like a secondary like Albert Brooks type career,

where it's like kind of a fringe character, who directs his own stuff, but it's like a very niche kind of thing. For some for him to be this mainstream is pre-surprise. >> Well that's why your friends and neighbors are so interesting, because it almost seems like he's wondering if he should be a serious actor.

>> The permanent men, I think, too, very, yeah, both of those are very tough things. >> Yeah, very serious, like looking at like sexual perversion among couples. >> Yeah. >> I think addiction, like you can feel him trying to figure out like what's the right path for me. >> Which ironically John Stewart was a little like that too, he was, and he was one of the runners

up for this movie, but he was also like am I an actor or what am I? Still, I remember when he was on SNL for like the all-time cup of coffee, I don't even think it was half a season, but did Eddie Munster, and he did a Tom Cruise, and people knew he was

still our mayor's kid. I never saw the bench that we're showing, I'm not going to pretend.

“I was like, oh yeah, I didn't even really remember that happening.”

>> That was on Fox where some Fox it kind of came and went, and it wasn't until reality bites, which we talked about. >> There's some funny stuff on that show though, and it had, you know, cross-node and Kirk and Jean Garoff-Load had a bunch of people who went on to be like that. >> Did that like a crazy writing staff to Rose?

>> I think so, yeah. >> Funny as movies of the 1990s, I'm going to give my list from seven to one. Funny as movies of the 1990s, you're just going to give this away right now. >> Yeah. >> Just put this on subject.

>> This is going to be the new running joke. >> Just say kids, don't if you like it. >> You'll have to read it on projections this Wednesday. Number one, coming Thursday, you know? >> Actually, I give you a topic, because I bump dirty work.

We've done that and rewatchable. >> Yeah. >> Groundhog Day seven, happy go more six,

Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy, there's something about Mary.

That's what I have.

“>> Sorry, Billy Madison was not on the list.”

>> It was not. >> That's my top shameful. >> Doesn't mean that the shouldn't have had 20 movies, but I think Mary was one of the fun, I think it was the funniest, but then he's leading me to my next list. Funniest movie by decade.

>> Oh, how far back did you go? >> 70s. >> Okay. >> They didn't know comedy in the 60s. >> Funniest movie of the 1930s, go.

>> Is that bringing a baby in the 30s? >> Sure, yeah, 39. >> Got it, nailed it. >> Got it! >> Is it 39, I don't even know.

>> I think so. >> What do you have for the 70s? >> The 20s movie, the 70s movie. >> Funniest movie.

>> Here's my comedy tastes tend to go more towards character stuff than it is like Tommy Boy.

Like, I think. >> I would say young Frankenstein, it's probably my favorite. >> All right, I had it in the miles. 1980s, Catyshack, Nick, and Gun and Airplane were met through finalists, and I need more time. But those were the three I had.

>> When will you be deciding? >> I didn't maybe, maybe like, seven podcasts from now. >> I'll let people know where I land.

“>> You should be doing a part of a fan in Joe and be like,”

just want you guys to know I have to decide it. >> Yeah, I talked about this with Chris and Sean. >> I don't know if he knew, but three weeks ago. >> 90s, Mary, 2000s gets really hard with anchor man's super bad in the hangover, and I need more time to decide on that.

>> I think it's anchor man too. The hangover, which has many complexities in this day and age, did have a very similar feeling to this movie, theaters. >> Yes. >> In theaters where it was like, this is a rock concert.

>> Yeah, like when he gets tased in the hangover, you're just not in the face. Not at the table Carlos is still the funniest thing that's ever happened. >> Yeah. >> In the 2010s, I actually think it's Brad Smith's.

>> It's Deborah's 2010s? >> No, that's 2008. >> Oh, that's so separate others could be in the 2010s too. >> So what's your 2000s movie, Craig? >> My God, at the pick one?

>> Yeah. >> Now, quickly, Bill gets to wait seven weeks, you go now. >> I mean, anchor man, I think, has like the most quotes that I've taken with me throughout my life. And then maybe Superbad and forgetting Sarah Marshall? >> Oh, yeah.

>> It's impossible, stepbrothers and hangovers so good. >> You must stay in more time with it. >> I do think it's Brad Smith's for the 10s. >> He's at any time, that would be good. >> Brad Smith is so fucking funny.

It's like clearly the champ of that year. Anyway, I don't know if you had any quibbles. >> It wasn't prepared for this query. >> Do we have a point in 20s? >> Do we make comedy anymore?

>> Do we have comedies anymore? What happened to comedies?

“>> Yeah, we just, well, what Craig and I were just talking about when this coming out in June?”

Called the Invite, which is pretty funny. >> Yeah. >> Seth Rogan, Olivia Wilde, Edward Norton and Billby Cruz. >> God, what is the funniest movie of the 2020s? >> How sad is that?

We can't even think up top of our heads. >> There was just a big, big-ish comedy. Small-ish comedy this year? What was the 2026 comedy, the one comedy? >> Well, then the naked gun remake came out.

>> That was in 2025, yeah. >> Which you said you were in? >> 2026, something like a comedy this year that did well. >> Yeah. >> Well, the drama is pretty funny.

>> Yeah. >> Is it? I haven't seen that, I don't know. >> No, no. >> It's different kind of festivals, thank you, guys.

>> It's the movie that made $100 million. It's been out for like weeks. You could have just got-- >> The drama? >> Yeah. >> It's a fucking basketball playhouse.

I'm not going to the movie. >> Yeah, I'm not going to the movies. >> It was out there. >> It's Pattinson and Zendaya. >> You're the consumer.

Here's a guy who's got four screens. >> I'll see it when it's on a streamer. >> Did you see Netflix's new film, "Whoops, I pooped my pants, and also killed my daughter's boyfriend?" >> Does that exist?

>> If you go on publics, it's-- >> That was a great time. >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They should do that. >> But it's like-- >> You can talk publicly about how you watch things called, like, "I'm my own mother on Netflix," and you're like,

you're sending texts?

>> I've never seen that one. >> As if you're like,

you guys off on this yet, like me and Shonar said, "I like to-- that you guys said what the comic book was. >> Yeah, yeah. >> Nobody dumps my daughter or something you guys didn't know about. >> Yeah, it's always like-- >> It's been father killer.

>> I just stabbed a drifter with a tire iron, and also I found my mom to when he 32-- >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. >> Nobody dumps my daughter or is the best title of all time. Just wait till we're new to our rewatchables next year.

This movie laid the ground for the 2000s are really comedy boom. >> Yeah. >> Really starting with American Pie and Road Trip, but then old school really officially kicks it off. But I think this pulled the seal off.

Committees cannot be already because they won't make as much money. This movie made a shitload of money. >> See, I thought of another movie that I chose for my double feature, but I feel like is in concert with this, which was American Pie. >> I felt like-- >> Is it American Pie came--

>> That's one year later, and it was like those two summers. >> But did American Pie part of the reason

and they were like, "No, maybe he can fuck a pie."

>> Yes. >> Totally. I think it did help. >> Yeah, I think that's right.

“>> The stories about the test screenings for this movie and how the fairly”

brothers were completely open to the idea of maybe this will be too far. And maybe this won't work. And then them showing it in peer-churning just being like, "Yeah, don't change a thing." I was disgusted, but don't change a thing.

>> Well, they filmed the two different versions of the hair gel. You know, that was the deal they made with Cameron Diaz. It will have this, too, and if it doesn't work, or however they did, not knowing if people would be like, "That's disgusting, I'm leaving." And it was the opposite.

It was, and if you watch that scene when it cuts to her with the hair, like not a lot's happening in the dialogue because they know how fun it is, and nobody's going to be laughing. So it kind of does even matter what it is. >> Yeah, I have no idea what it's said in that.

>> Yeah. >> Cameron Diaz, who did the mask in 1994 out of modeling,

it was like the first thing she ever did.

>> 1996, she's the one, which I considered the dream team too. A lot of people think it's the Olympic team that year we had. >> No, no, no, no, no, no. >> It's actually, it burns, it burns. >> It burns, it gets angloone, practicing bonds, Aniston, Cameron Diaz,

and Leslie Mann. >> Leslie Mann. >> And Leslie Mann. >> Tom Teddy on the sound. >> Don't forget John Boney, a man in the P, Man of P, yeah.

>> Well, that's my 1996 dream team. >> My best friend's wedding. >> Mm-hm. >> Good film. >> She's fantastic and that, too.

>> Really good, very fun. >> And then Mary and I, okay, and she becomes a L.S. star, ends up in being John Malkowicz, any given Sunday. Charlie Zangels, Shrek, Benel Sky, tough casting and gangs in New York. Maybe that's what it redo.

>> Sure. >> And it just keeps going from there. And she also had high profile relationship, Sean, with Matt Dylan, Jared, Lato, Justin Timberlake, and A-rod. >> Mm-hm.

>> You know what I've learned? She doesn't have a type, she married Benji Madden. She just love his love for her, doesn't matter who it is. She could have fallen for Craig. Could have been anybody.

Matt Dylan, Jared, Lato, Justin Timberlake, and A-rod. >> That would be weird if she fell in love with 13-year-old Craig in 1999. >> I was five. >> Five, okay. >> It would have been really weird.

>> Yeah. >> Is she married now? >> Benji Madden. >> Yeah. >> Well, I mean, you know, you're not checked up on me.

>> She's back, by the way. >> She's back. >> She's back. >> She's back in the journey home of you, right? >> And one last year, Jamie Foxx.

>> She was back in action. Was last year, and this year was outcome. >> Where do you stand on Mary as the perfect girl? Because this movie does a lot of check.

“>> I think it's the most interesting conversation that's probably”

come out of the couple of decades of discourse. About this movie is how knowing it is about the different ways you can read it. >> So you can read Mary as, I think there's a Dave Corline, the critic Dave Corline, who said that she was like a fantasy of flawlessness, and that everything Mary does is like the exact dream scenario for a guy.

>> Dave Corline sounds like a fun hang. >> And that's very good critic. >> But then you could also flip it and say that the funniest thing about this movie is how it's the guys who are doing all the acrobatics to like bend their personas to what they think Mary wants from them.

I don't know, I mean, that's the ingenious idea of the movie, right? Is that she is supposed to represent this like ideal of male desire, right? Where it's like she's in a sports, she just wants to eat hot dogs. >> Yes, she loves beer. >> She gulfs on in her free time, you know.

>> I really want to dive into this, loves football. >> Yeah. >> 85, she's in on the nine hours, what does it look like? >> She smells the diamond one, come up stairs and watch sports at it. >> Yeah, she has taken on Montenegroft status.

>> She has a fucking great golf swing, that's really her. Apparently they had a golf stand-by, stand-in person. >> She overroaches, but yeah. >> And you think so? >> Yeah.

>> I'll see are with golf tips. >> Well, I just think, I've been in the YouTube minds with golf. >> I mean, I thought we'll talk about it. >> I thought we'll talk about it, we'll talk about it. >> I've been studying under the two-dolage of a man named Mr. Tropicano.

>> Thank you. >> [LAUGH] >> He was talking to me a lot about it. >> When you say studying, you mean just watching his video. >> Yeah, I was like, you don't know them.

>> No, I don't go to Kavina to get his tips. >> Great golf swing loves meat on a stick. >> Yeah, sure. Really underrated cigarette smoker on this? >> Yeah. >> I don't know if she didn't arrow it.

Did you see that? >> Which is an odd for an orthopedic surgeon, even at night. >> Yeah. >> She casually has like checking out people in the Copacabana, what part was he in?

>> I think so, Copacabana, yeah. >> Great person, works with special needs and delts. >> Mm-hm. >> Gives apples to homeless people.

“>> I think that's just as a guy with a boat.”

Is he homeless? >> He's not homeless. >> Yeah. >> Was he-- >> I thought he was like the dock master. >> He's in the IMDB as homeless man.

>> Okay, so I don't know what he's been doing. >> Maybe there's a miscalculation.

>> But yeah, she's basically great hang,

laughing at everything. >> But the idea that all these guys have to lie about who they are

If only, you know, my wife could be like this. >> Right. >> That's like the whole genius idea of the movie. >> I guess they-- >> These guys are all losers who don't really deserve her and they have to come up with these elaborate,

“stupid ways to get her, that's I think the joke of the movie.”

>> Yes, and but it's like, I think that there is like, you could probably do the opposite read, which is like, this isn't a real person, so then there's the character work. But I tend to believe to be opposite. >> You know, in the summer of 1998, I was just thinking about the laughter.

>> Yeah, I think we all were, I think we all were. >> I definitely did not realize that this was a high level stalker comedy in 1998. >> And that is what the movie really is, it's about a bunch of guys that saw me in this movie. >> That's the funny other funny thing is that you could say that this is like an update of a Preston Sturgis plot, like a real screwball comedy,

like you're never going to believe what happens next kind of story.

But I do think that all the guys are basically should be in jail by the end of the movie, including debt. >> I wrote down, this is when Harry Metelli for Weirdos. I mean, that's really the premise and plot of the movie. >> So, Matt Dylan, in an all-time elite scumbag in this movie, phenomenal.

And was dating Cameron Diaz in real life. Career resurgence of in and out wild things and there's something by Mary, we just did wild things. He, as a kid actor, he was in three S.E.H. in movies. He was in my bodyguard, which was the first time I saw him, and women just love Metelli. >> Drugs or cowboy, right?

>> Over the edge. It's kind of all over the place with the Xiam D.B. with a lot of twists and turns. He never really done a comedy like this before. He was the original choice for butch and pulp fiction, which we talked about when we did the pulp

“fiction that I think would have been a huge, an important thing for him.”

>> Yeah. >> I think he would have been good in that part too. >> I also, I don't know why he wasn't an entourage, is their older brother. Why he couldn't have come in and done a three episode arc. >> Yo, bro, I can't believe you hear.

>> I think if he was like playing that Dylan or would he be playing >> I think he's playing drama as older brother. They're like their half brother. >> Steve drama or Steve drama? >> Steve drama, Steve drama.

>> Yeah, Steve drama. We're career in the sense that it feels like there should have been a TV pivot

to some sort of prestige show in like 2014 that never really happened.

And I don't really know what he's been doing in the last 15 years. >> He never did like his version of like that Kevin Bacon show on show time. Or eight nine years ago, he did a Lars von Trueer movie. >> Yeah, the house of Jack Files. >> No, it was a movie, it's like a movie about a serial killer, it's a crazy movie.

>> Oh, I thought it was a split out, I never saw it. >> No, no, he did an apple show with a picture show arcette. That was kind of like a crime show, like a noir desk show.

“>> Was it a show where somebody dies in the beginning and then you go backwards?”

>> It's called High Desert. >> Did they solve it? >> Well, I think they only did a season of it. I remember, William Watcher, we'll never know. Craig, have you seen that apple show when somebody dies in the beginning?

>> I think so, yeah, I saw that one. >> We don't know who did it, but then each episode ends and then could have been that person. >> And then there's another season, it's a whole new cast, but there's also a murder. >> But it's actually under the same umbrella for season. >> It's like the same theme song, but a little different every time.

>> And every actor peaked like six years ago, but their agent definitely told them it was going to be a great idea. >> Yeah, I like that show. >> That's the one feels like he's primed for a white lotus appearance. >> That's the thing.

I feel like if Matt don't get dropped into any sort of cool, if he'd been in beef, anything, people, the reaction of him, and hey, Matt Dylan, sure.

I love Matt Dylan, but he's always kind of existed in that world where people like him.

I don't know, I feel like he's too movie short, John. >> I know what you mean, you know, it's a little like McCail Bridges on the next round. >> All right, all right, just settle down. It's only six years later that he's in crash, which is a joke now. But at the time, one best picture, and he's the handsie police officer.

>> And he's good in crash. >> Yeah. >> Either you like the movie or not, he's good, but not, not a great character. >> Not a good character, but he's the performance performance. But then after that, here, here are the movies he makes. After crash, lover boy, you see that?

>> Fat, the curse, the alleyway. >> No, fact totem, which is a boochowski adaptation. Herbiefully loaded, you me and do pre. >> Oh yeah, nothing you mean, do pre. >> Nothing but the truth, the Cape Beck and Sale political drama.

Old dogs with Robin Williams and John Travolta? >> I don't know, old dogs. >> Did you get the motorcycle movie? >> No, no, no, that's wild hogs. >> Oh, come on, old dogs is about.

>> Wild hogs, yeah, wild hogs and old dogs is a killer double, though. >> Takers, you seen Takers? >> Yeah, the wheel. >> Oh, really what a walker. >> Can you have been prisoners instead of you just like-

>> Is he in like 1-8-7 or what is the, like the thriller he's in?

It's like Anthony Mackie, one, that's pretty good. >> He's like put the wheels up, come off. >> Yeah, he plays like an armored truck security guard. >> Yeah, that's called armored. >> Yeah.

>> He plays Mike Cochran, opposite Lawrence Fishburn, John Renault, my love into Miglia, Skit, Ulrich, and Columbus Short. >> Okay, this is like when I texted you guys a couple of days ago with Mark Wahlberg's IMDB in the 2020s.

“And it's like, when did Mark Wahlberg just give up?”

It's seven straight years of just, ugh, yep, it's just, and I didn't realize it was over, but apparently it was. Sometimes I guess that happened. >> I think it's, I think, for, do you want to have the Mark Wahlberg conversation with Matt Tillett, conversation?

>> Oh, either, okay, so it's a hard-to-all thing. >> I think he used to work routinely with really interesting and challenging directors and now no longer does for the most part. >> You know Matt Tillett was an asteroid city, the West Anderson movie.

>> You didn't see that. >> Were there really fun stuff, right? >> Like he isn't mechanic. >> He's the mechanic. He's phenomenal in this part.

It's really, really funny. I can't even think of anybody else who would have been good in this in the same way.

>> So he's like always likable and interesting,

and he's a, I think he's a good leading man in all those teen movies in the '80s. But do you think that because he was dating Cameron Diaz, he was felt like more free. He's never been this funny.

>> Yeah, like what explains, you know, doce, doce in the half, like his, his facility with the jokes is so good. >> The final image. >> [LAUGH] >> That's not my work for Raceroni.

“>> I think it's always fun when a actor is known for dramatic parts.”

Does a comedy and is in the comedy treating the part as seriously as he would and drama. >> But he, Matt Dillon knows how fucking funny this is. >> Right. >> But he's like Pat Healy, private eye falls in love with his own subject.

I'm like 110% committed to it. And even when he's mugging, it's funny. >> But he's willing us to do it to put on the veneers and to wear the stupid shirts. It's just unreal. >> When Tucker is telling Mary, all the fake stuff about him,

like he killed the guy and he's just in the car like. >> [LAUGH] >> Like just, he just knows the jig is up. >> Yeah, he's really great in there. >> Do you feel like this movie, when you, when you were like, let's do something about Mary, I was like, absolutely.

This is such a singular experience watching this thing. Do you feel like it's second life has been more muted than you would have thought? And when you first saw it, >> I had a follow-up related question to this. If you had to guess what number in terms of popularity is this movie for

the camera Diaz on Letterbox? >> Interesting.

>> Because you could make the case, this is her biggest and most important movie.

>> I would have said the holidays first. >> How old is ahead of it? >> No, I'll go picture the ahead of it probably. >> Charlie Zangels is probably ahead of it, because people are dope, they're move is awful.

How far is it? How far down is it? >> 14. >> That's wild. >> How is it measured?

>> It's a top popularity on this app.

“>> It's just how many people have starred in the movie?”

>> Yeah, I think we like it. The ratings, all those things are taken into consideration. But it is, you know, you've got some weird outliers. So you've got like fear and loading in Las Vegas. She's in like one scene in that movie.

But like, Gangs of New York is ahead of it. The mask is ahead of it. All the shrek movies are ahead of it. Vanilla Sky is ahead of it. My best friend's wedding is ahead of it.

In 1998, we were like not only as she had the new Julia Roberts, she's like the new Audrey Hepburn. Like, she's like, this is a person who's on the collision course. >> Well, it's Megan Start. >> And from 1998, this movie is standing on its own two feet against Titanic,

Private Ryan and Armageddon. Titanic, Private Ryan and Armageddon have gone on to all be rewatchables. I believe, all be rewatched by people like routinely all the time. And this, I feel like when you mentioned it to me, I was like, oh, yeah. But I haven't watched this movie in forever for some time.

I think part of the problem with it, other than there's probably some stuff that people feel like has an age, well, it's like big set pieces that people feel like they don't need to see it because they know what the set pieces are. But it's like, oh, yeah, there's going to be the two scenes with the dog. And there's going to be the one, the hair gel scene.

And there's going to, you know, the zippers scene. And they have seen that. But I don't think it gets enough credit for how smart the school is. And how good the actors are. And it also feels like it belongs through different generations.

Yeah, because I was looking at the 98 movies that were comedies. There's something about Mary Big Lebowski, water boy, rush hour, wedding singer, night at the Roxbury, half baked, dirty work and baseball. Just feels very 90s, you know, and then I lapowski has endured. You know, like some sometimes movies have been on the line.

Well, look at the comments, it became, it was a cult movie that, you know,

“I think, grew some legs for the years past and has a bunch of fun people on it.”

It does, I had the same thought though, well, watching it. We're like, it has kind of turned in a little bit of an artifact, which is an interesting, for me, it's probably one of the first examples of a movie that when it happened, I was very aware of it. I was consuming a lot of media around it, a lot of reviews of it.

Amazing stories about it.

And I felt like, well, this is just an absolute neutron bomb for a teenage boy. Like, this is a huge thing. And now, and I think some of it is what you're describing, but the thing about this stuff that is insensitive or has an age-reall or whatever is the only people who are doing that stuff are the people who were meant to believe are buffoons in the movie.

Like, the movie is relatively sensitive to some of the ideas that are, it's portraying for the people who are impacted by it and understand that they're in that world, the family, for example. It's all the guys who are made to be the butt of the joke throughout the movie, who are the ones who are insensitive. So like, that can be the only reason why it's come down to what I was,

but also wondering, like, you know, it's such a sincere movie. And so many ways, like, the soundtrack, the colors of the movie, it feels very pop. It feels very, kind of weirdly optimistic when you're watching it. You kind of have a mild grin on, even when it isn't one of the big set pieces. And for better or for worse, so much comedy has gravitated towards, especially on screen comedy.

Not only is it on TV, but it's like, Nathan Fielder and Tim Robinson and this kind of, like, if you're going to do something that's got an incredibly extreme psychic, it has to be, like, really weird. You know, like, there can't just be, like, this is really funny that this guy thought, like, masturbating before a date was a good idea.

Yeah. But it would be, like, flug in the dolphin.

“Then he gets caught by, like, a local newspaper if it was Tim Robinson, right?”

Yeah. I just even tuck her, like, wobbling back and forth. I think that's something just, like, that's, like, three stages. You know, it's just pure psychic comedy. Fairly brothers, the dumb and dumb are Kingpin and there's something

by Mary in a row, basically.

But this is the, they had to save themselves after Kingpin. Yeah, Kingpin bombs. But I forgot, it just an all-time classic. I popped it in immediately after watching there's something that Mary, I love that movie so much. That was Ed Dector and John Strauss, friends of the Fairly's wrote the script,

Fairly's bought it, ran with it, and they wanted to do something more for adults in a miles down. They knew this was their last chance, basically. This doesn't work. It's not going to happen. We'll take a break, and then we'll talk about a couple other things, including the Oscars for that year. This episode is brought to you by McDonald's.

Right now, McDonald's, you can get great deals all day with McValue. That's right. Jumpstart your day with the under $3 menu featuring a sausage, McMuffin, for just $1.50, or grab perfect lunch with the McDouble for just $2.50.

prices and participation may vary. Prices may be higher for delivery. So Goldman was adamant that this movie should have been nominated for Best Picture and that Cameron Diaz should have been nominated for Best Actress.

“I'll give you the best picture that year. Shakespeare and love, Elizabeth, life is beautiful,”

save and primer Ryan, and the thin red line. Who you bump in Sean? Easy life is beautiful. Get it out. Yeah. People, at the time. If you mean you also got nominated for directed, our director, he won for Best Actor, Best Actress in a leading role, Queen of Poutroins for Shakespeare and Love, Cape Wanchette, Elizabeth, Fernanda, Montenegro for Central Station.

Way to go. What do your thoughts on that one? So Brazilian cinema classic. In fact, her daughter Fernanda Torres was nominated two years ago, for Best Actress. Street, one true thing. Kind of like when Kobe would make the all defense near the end of his career. I've got to be automatic now, but they're the first I'm hearing of one true thing. Yeah, I don't even remember what that was. Well, you haven't

listened to our metal street polyphenemen. I'm sorry. Oh, sorry. Just now did I'm sorry. It's basketball play. Yeah. What is one of your things? He missed the drama. I missed the metal street. Um, that's the one with William Hurt, right? Where she gets Kansmarl Streep's character gets cancer. And Renee Zellweger has to come home to help take care of them. Renee Zellweger, I think. Oh, my wife is Wayne Wright's movie. I know. Very sincere drama. Yeah.

What did you just tell me for that? Emily Watson and Hillary and Jackie, but as we've discussed many times, the rewatchables comedy performances and comedies in general is to not get treated with any sort of reverence from the Academy. Although I think it was harder to get Dylan into supporting actor because it's covert and devolversive action.

Ed Harris Truman showed Jeffrey Rush Shakespeare in love and he was pretty amazing in that

and Billy Bob Thornton for a simple plan. So it's hard to know who you would kick out. But

That's all. I would have had a simple plan and Truman showing my best picture race that you're

“too. Well, if they had the nine films, I wonder if those two get added with their”

something about Mary. So anyway, nothing happens. They're not getting nominated for screenplay either. 23 million dollar budget made three seven day crazy. Fourth biggest movie in 98, Roger Ebert, three stars. What's a blessed relief is laughter. It flies in the face of Manor's values, political correctness, and decorum. It exposes us for what we are. The only animal with the sense of humor. We're not for sure. I don't know. I mean, cooking. Could add it a half star.

We had Goldman wrote, my choice for best picture was there's something about Mary. I would have

given a best actress and best screenplay as well. The academy is always ignored to the hardest

genres to create comedies and adventure flicks. He just loved this movie. Anyway, categories. Most of we watch most scene, piggyback ride into, he's only two thirty, huh? He's just like his backs destroyed by Warren. Just the noise of his back cracking when Warren jumps on it is weird. I don't know when we want to talk about Warren, but W Earl Brown.

“I think Warren's incredible in this movie. I think it depends on what maybe some of your background”

is with the special needs community. We've had my wife has that in her family, her uncle David. My dad worked with special needs people for her 15, 20 years. I love the way it approaches the whole concept in this. You're always on Warren's side. I feel like they're not making fun in many ways. He's just a comedy machine. But then, as the years passed, it became the feralies that we've been talked about. I think it's just the issue of casting some of that side of

that. The feralies, basically, in the 2010s, we tried a million people. This was the best

performance. It was a key part by the 2012s. They're like, yeah, we blew this. I get it. It's a complicated thing because that was not how people were thinking about it at the time, that that's who should be cast in these parts. That's changed pretty dramatically in Hollywood. So it's really hard to come down on it. I guess that's the only thing I like about the movie is it's like, "Mooze not making fun of Warren. You could misconstru it, though, if you were a teenager.

I will say that." It was pretty easy for people that I knew to misunderstand what you were trying to do. You also have special needs family members who were upset by that. It depends on your personal experience and your taste level. It's a very different experience watching this movie in a theater and 350 people are clearly laughing at Warren and you're like, that's fucked up versus watching it at home and being like, "I see what they're doing here and how they're celebrating this guy.

They're not making fun of us." The Fairleys who have done this in a lot of their movies have about all types of people and women, all different types of handicapped people.

“He's actually the key to the movie because he's the barometer of Warren.”

He's the barometer of Warren. He's the key to the movie. He's the barometer of Warren. He's the key to the movie. He's the barometer of Warren. He's the key to the barometer of Warren. He's the key to the barometer of Warren. He's the key to the barometer of Warren. He's the key to the barometer. He's the barometer of Warren. He's the key to the barometer. He's the key to the barometer of Warren. He's the key to the barometer of Warren. He's the key to the barometer.

He's the key to the barometer. He's the key to the barometer. He's the key to the barometer. He's the key to the barometer. He's the key to the barometer. He's the key to the barometer. He's the key to the barometer. He's the key to the barometer. He's the key to the barometer. I'm sorry. Immediately got like my energy up, just watching him fucking with Ben still.

The wedding photo of them from the 70s is funny. Which was clearly taking like one minute before they started writing. Mary comes out of the stairs and keeps saying, "Oh, shit. Look at that." And then Warren attacking Ted is so fucking funny. He's going to the bathroom. So she's a dental hygienist. She'll know exactly what to do.

And her answer is to get back to him. And then when she sprays the back to him. I don't know what the technical name is when you're doing comedy. They just like keep adding layers and layers on top of the same punchline.

They're like, "And then the fireman and then the cop." It becomes like naked gun for a second.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's climbing through the window and the fire department shows up. And Warren's throwing 110 because he hears the Franks of beans. He was masturbating. He's hilarious. Lenny Clark pops in and I don't know where this is just an A+ combination. Sure. I just have no notes.

Every part is great. And even when you see the zipper for a split second, they don't stay in it too long. It's like, "Oh, ow!" Also, it's just a decision to have every actor just be playing their teenage self.

as a teenager makes his character so funny immediately.

“Yeah. I think Keith gave it especially wanting to get in there and take a good look at it.”

I can't put his glasses on. It's correct to me. Perfect, obviously. And then it goes right into the therapy appointment with our guy Richard Jenkins. This is like a dark horse for me, but Jenkins is only one. Look at the food now. He doesn't have anywhere to wipe his hands.

The series are almost sexualized. Highway Westeres are the bad houses of the 90s. Bathas of the 90s. One of the funniest ideas of any comedy. For many, many, many, many gamers. It's the insinuation when he's like, "We'll talk about this more next week."

Isn't that he wants to talk about it? Yeah, we'll delve into that next week. This is only seen, right? Yeah. It's like uncredited. I think he lived in the area and they were just like, "Do you want to do a day?"

There's a funny cutaway to him in the montage at the end too, where he's rubbing stillers back

from behind that is also very funny to this joke.

Jenkins, like, underrated comedy actor. He's speaking to several of them, right? The therapy appointment with Jenkins, and then the next one is Healy lies to Ted about Mary. After he comes back from Mary.

“She's about to do Student Half. Ted, don't you want the name of the housing project?”

Just that two minutes is really great. My favorite part of it is about a dude's student half as me. He's like, "Not bad!" Healy ropes Mary in at the golf course. Every part of this is, my real passion is my hobby. He says the artwork with returns and she goes, "Is that a little political incorrect?"

Well, to hell with that, no one's going to tell me who I can and can't work with, right? We got this one kid, Mongo. That scene is at a control. I love those goofy bastards. A leash, plenty of room to dig.

Yeah, that kid is really blossomed. I haven't had they did that scene. That scene's unbelievable.

The crazy dog scene went puffer passes out.

Passes out. He dies. He's like, "That's a life." That's also got Healy telling them, "In Paul, the villagers, they're called me King Tanty." Which means noble man who is love by many animals.

Who in kind, he loved his team. The hit checker scene, where to stand on that one, see our seven minute abs. 11 out of 10. People don't know about Harlem Williams. Yeah, do you know about Harlem Williams Craig?

Yes, because the movie where he's the astronaut was one of my favorite movies. I can't unblank what's the name of that movie? Is it Spaceman? Is it Spaceman? I love that movie.

Yeah, it's really funny. Seven miles is because you're fucking fine. Seven's the key number here. Think about it. Seven 11, seven doors, seven man.

That's the number seven chipmunks, twirling on a branch. Eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tail from the sea? Rocket man, father.

It's like you're dreaming about Gorgon's old cheese. It's free time, baby. He comes in hot. Damn waiters, it's going to be impossible. Yeah.

The Joe Jackson scene with the flag football. Spipes the box. Septional bias. He cheats and checkers. The video goes right.

It gets his teeth cap, because he overhearder is talking about big white teeth. Chris Elliott goes to see Ted. Is the next one?

“You choked the chicken before any big date, don't you?”

Tell me you expect the monkey before any big date. You got baby batter on the brain. You're going out there with a loaded gun. I do love the most honest moments in a man's life as the few minutes after he's blown its load.

It's a medical fact. Says that we get the hair gel seen. The cut is great to the hair. We get Puffy and Magda going Bakters on speed. And then Puffy attacking Ted.

I like when he throws the fourth one. He's like, you're going to kill him. Don't throw another one. He looks at him and just whips another one out. We get the big confrontation when all the stalkers are all together.

And then the closing credits are really good at this movie. I like how much foresight they put into just filming on location as they were finishing scenes and then forcing everybody to do buttercup. All right, see how we got most rewatchable scene. Man, I'm so tempted to go to go with Richard Jenkins.

But I think the healing meeting Mary for me, honestly, the gulf. Yeah, that's from me as well. So funny as stuff. And he's like, how do you know my name? It's written on your gulf bag. Yeah.

And she's so likable in it too. Yeah. Or it's like it's actually believable that she might fall for this time. Well, it's also like he's trying to do the game. Though, like, I'm going to nag you a little bit.

Yeah.

But just that their their chemistry is very palpable.

“And outside of the major set pieces, that's my, you don't know.”

You don't know. It's impressive about that whole scene. The first driving range shot he takes off the wall. Yeah. He goes and it goes off his bag. Like, kind of hard to do. I don't know how they did that. And he's dad was a gulf pro. Yeah.

So it's only about some attention they did. What do you have? That's my favorite scene.

I will say anytime Ted and Pat are talking to each other is incredible.

But specifically when he's updating him, the do's do's in a half scene. There's a moment in the end of it where he gets handed up. But why, sir, when they're sitting outside and he goes, excuse me, I ordered a whiskey sour. We don't watch things like that, whatever. There's also that killed me this time.

When Ted goes to see Pat to tell him, like, actually he does want to get in touch with her, but Pat's in the middle of quitting. Yeah. And he's just, that's the whole, like, go to Miami. I got a job with rice running.

He doesn't seem to go treason. Well, they're changing their image. It's a big amount of weight. It was like, it was the smoke thing. It's like, she's a male order bride.

What do you mean? Probably the golf scene or I do think any scene in Mary's apartment is really good. The first time I saw this movie, the dog stuff slayed me. Yeah. It's like a 13 year old, just the physical comedy of that, of, like, pile drive.

Yeah. When he puts the dog in the side headlock, it drops him down. That's sure got busted. Wake? Prop.

The dog prop is really good. The dog went up the dog's lap. So we're from the light. Yeah. So that's for a butt cake when they ask if she wants anything.

Yeah. Do you want to hide again or a butt wiser? What's the most, 1998 thing about this movie? I have some runners up being excited about giving somebody a tonic in the glare. I signed baseball.

Sure. Good one. That had a shelf life of about maybe 2003. Brett Farve, cool Brett Farve, Brett Farve being a goody two shoes. Yeah.

Cool Brett Farve. Any part of Brett Farve? Yep. Got it. Magda smoking cools.

A whole carton of cools. Yeah. I think cools are still around. I have a winner, but would you have? I had just, like, watching sports highlights at the end of the night being something

that you build towards in your life. It's like, let's go home and watch game highlights. Pick it up, Hitchhiker. Sure. That's good one.

I mean, there's the tremendous amount of gay panic jokes in this movie. Like, like, a hundred of them. Yeah.

You would never find that in, like, to a 2020 movie.

Well, our winner is cops, the TV show being from the involved in a scene. Yeah.

“That's not the only thing that's happening in that scene.”

Yeah. Woogie, getting his knob polished while watching cops is silly. Completely uncommented on. It's also the last moment the wife is in the movie. Well, the wife, only, she's, like, the ideal crazy perfect wife.

But he still does make her face. Yeah. Yeah. Would say it's the best. Right there.

Can I say one more thing? Yeah. The way that bad taste is played for laughs instead of, like, dramatic thrills is something really interesting to be about this movie. Like, bad taste is a skill, and you can display it in a clever way.

The fairly always do that. But like, now bad taste to the point about the drama or, like, adding to, like, then, like, those taboos are things now that people play for, like, like, like, is it okay to be talking about this? Where is it?

Oh, yeah. And there's something about Mary. It's just pure comedy. Yeah. They're just going for it.

Would say it's the best. Rest area is being the bath houses of the 90s. That joke is just as funny as it was in 1998. I don't know how you even come up with that. Also, from a would say it's the best standpoint.

Just stopping at a rest area. You got, like, 10 years out of mileage of. Yeah. Yeah. Rest area.

Go up there. The musicians popping in, which we did not mention yet, Jonathan Richmond. Yeah. I can't believe this worked. But I really didn't think it worked.

Yeah. Thought it was a really funny, distinct part of the movie. It's such an unlikely choice. Obviously, a new Englander, right? So the fairly is very new England filmmakers.

And, but I can't, for whatever reason, picture Peter fairly rock.

And I'm just like, an amazing, like, Jonathan Richmond commitment to a bit.

“Because if that doesn't work, you're like, what the fuck?”

But like, that kind of speaks to one of the things I have for what's aged the best is the regional specificity of it. The Rhode Island Boston. Yeah. He's got a Providence Bruins poster.

Yeah. And the Miami stuff is just like, they find a lot of humor in those places. And I think one thing that's really been lost in more modern movies is, like, you know, the drama is set in Boston. But it might as well be set in Copenhagen.

Like, it doesn't really feel like Boston. It's a great point. We've talked about this with other movies. Like, that we were just better in the 80s and 90s that going into location. Well, I feel like they just, in a couple of places in the country.

And then they're like, yeah, they're still standing for this. Or, or it'll just be any city.

And you can get a lot of jokes.

I mean, you're setting Lenny Clark in this movie. Yeah. It's like a very annoying wink to the New England. And Steve Swaney. Yeah.

I forget about him. You have any of what's aged the best, because I had a couple more. I just think most comedies age really badly.

“And this one, I think it's still really, really funny.”

Yeah. So it actually makes me laugh out loud. So I have a few, because this was a big movie for me, my wife. Magda jokes about anyone. You know, in your life, who got way too much sun.

Like, ugh. We're in a little tour of the Magda side. Magda has just become a 28 year over Sun Tanjuk. Markey post. I'm just so glad she's in this movie.

Just an absolute 80s icon. And then a legend and was trying to think her, her MBA example. Like, kind of like the Dominique Wilkins of the 80s. Didn't get her just to everyone's talking about that. She had that lower killer.

As a Thomas, Heather Lachler. Some of the greatest. Yeah, I don't know. Markey, I don't know. Everyone loved Markey post.

Yeah. But Dominique, what's on the resume from Markey post? Would you like four. Naquar. Right.

Naquar. Like that. Some killer posters. Yeah. A good TV movies.

She went in and done contests. Where's she on the all time scoring one year ago? She had to have his way. So maybe she's more like a parent standsberry. I don't know.

That's nice. Yeah, that's good. I was like, don't get me wrong. I think she's great. She had an unbelievable.

Sheers episode. When she came in as Diane Chambers is best friend from college and hit on Sam Malone. And it might be the single best cheers episode.

And Diane finally flips out because they're flirting with each other the whole episode.

She apparently was like pre-scandalized by this movie. It was like really nervous to do it. But then was very happy. She did. Yeah.

I'm glad she's in it. She's known to the only people that really, really, truly pulled off 80s hair. Because she had some real 80s hair. Yeah. For sure.

And it, where you have that, basically the same haircut as Patrick Swazie and young bud. Yeah. Yeah. Flogging the dolphin for a big date. That's age well.

It's just a running joke now. Flogging. And then going out. Pat Haley teeth. Another running joke.

Whoa. Some big choppers. They're more common than ever. The lie that becomes a way bigger cover-up lie. I think is age the best for me.

But we grew up with this with 70 seconds. And now I don't feel like we do it anymore. It was like the staple of half of the comedy for 20 years. Yeah. I also, I feel like in my life after this movie came out.

If a guy ever came home, it was just like, you know, she lives with her sisters. If they like that, people would be like, first chicken the armored day. Right. What about Brett Farvra? When Stower says that at the end, the Brett Farvra thing.

“I think kind of came with him for five, six years.”

And then people forgot. Like that they have young Cameron Diaz and young Ben Stower with the wig and braces. Yeah. And it actually works and they look younger. Sometimes when comedies do this, it looks ridiculous.

There's also something very sweet about opening with that aside from the freaks and freaks and beans thing. And like, Ted's, you know, inciting incident. Is to have that like idea of the him as a character as a kid. And be like, oh, this is like this sweet teenage love story. And not just this deranged middle-aged man who's like,

"Time for me to stalk my high school girlfriend." Yeah. Well, the key is that he still wants to see her, even though she's being told she's the dosen half. That's right. Tucker calling sex a good ragering.

I'd never heard of before since, but it always makes me laugh for just laying.

Maybe he would give you a good ragering. Is there a ragering gag in Austin Powers? I've never heard him phrase ragering. Mary's theory that we need more meat on sticks. Does make make you wonder why we don't?

Can we talk about it? I just the corn dog. Let's talk it out. I don't think I've ever seen you eat meat on a stick. Well, what's the other one they have?

Like a long. Well, it's like kebabs. Well, the stereotype beef and appetizers. Yeah. I always like having this stick.

Yeah.

“What do you think there should be more corn dog style?”

Like, should there be like a steak dog of some kind? I mean, I just, it's, I was just more surprised that this is something that's aged the best for reveal because I don't often see him indulging in corn dog. I think this theory age great for me because I do like corn dogs. You have one in Santa Monica Pier that my wife has stopped my wife.

Let's talk. She know. Um, but they have a, as you know. Well, I've discussed before. It's a big hot dog.

Hot dog fish. It was a misunderstanding. I know a lot about your wife. Did you know the hot dog? She loves hot dogs.

Because the best part about hot dogs is when we have little kids. You get to relive the hot dog experience through the kids. You get hot dogs back. You get mac and cheese back. You're on the side of that Sunday.

You little mini chicken nuggets. Yeah. One day things you just stopped eating. I will say it is okay for you. My college child, even though you don't have a child.

But what you're saying is true that like they're like a weekly current. People don't go out of their way to have hot dogs unless they're at a baseball

“guy. I think it was like during a right after COVID would have like, like,”

cook out nights, but it would just be the two of us. And I would make hot dogs and I'd be like, It doesn't hit the same when you're not with the future community. Like we're making hot dogs as our dinner. It feels a little beaten down.

It's just, it goes quick. Yeah. It's not a luxurious meal. When we went to the Giants game a couple weeks ago, I couldn't decide whether I wanted a kill boss or a hot dog.

Got them both double fisted. No kidding. Yeah. Many people have told me that we really fucked up by not getting the crab sandwich. Oh, really?

Yeah. I was so close. I wasn't going to do it. God, dead. Like the lady next to me was like, you don't want to break that.

Baseball stadium crab. I don't care if we're having it on the bat. We're on the bat. Come on. Yeah, sure.

Lots of stuff happens on the bat. Great ballpark though, right? Awesome. My last one says the best is when Pat Haley is pretending he built the soccer stadium. Yeah.

That's it. I have one more which was when when he goes to when Ted goes to see Wogi dumb at his law office. And Chris Elliott's got the poster of this. Bus crash 12 kids killed. What does that cost us?

It's on the whiteboard. We didn't talk about Chris Elliott yet. We have a couple spots. You want to do it now? I just think that like there's there's the Lee Evans like there's the Tucker character.

And then I found Chris Evans to be fucking hysterical this time around. I don't know. Chris Elliott. Sorry. Chris Elliott.

Yeah. It was hysterical this time around. It's funny because I was a. And he was a writer and they started using him on the show. It was the first time.

So he initially he was the guy and the guy underneath the stairs and he would come out. He'd like pop up and it was like this running bit. He would interrupt the show is like the psycho who lived in the stairs. And then he did the fugitive guy. Yeah.

Which was basically every episode would end like the fugitive.

But it would be three minutes. And then everything peaked when he was Marv Albert. And he would come on and do the Albert achievement awards. In this Marv Albert wig. And I just would have bought all this.

I had all the Chris Elliott stock. It like 1986. So this guy is going to transform companies. We know it. And this I think was his biggest movie.

I think.

“And this is after get a life and after Captain boy right?”

Yeah. Like it kind of. It happened and it didn't hit. He had like a year in S&L. Yeah.

So this is kind of after all of that. And he's still. It's such a fearless performance because boogie is so gross. All the hives and stuff. Yeah.

He tried to do Marv and Brando was another running character. He tried to let her maintain. But he was just. Captain your toes. Matt Damon and your trip award for most unexpected day.

Lister came here. Brett Farbra. Mm-hmm. Great shot, Gordon Award. But he got CR.

You know what? Do we just go for the ball shot? It was my first one. I wrote down. Yeah.

I think it's just the most confrontational pieces in a life ever seen. Yeah. Yeah. It's like several moments in cruising. Right.

A torsion statistical. I have a better answer. Okay. Better. Yeah.

“I think how they hide the giant water come on.”

On Ted's left ear. For 12 seconds. And she's like, what's on your ear? And he turns. If you actually watch it, they do a really good job of.

You only seen from this side.

You never see the left ear.

And so they really spring it on you. And I think it's impressive. Yeah. A lot of leering shots of Cameron Diaz through binoculars in this movie as well. I don't know if you guys picked up on that.

I like when he got the bigger binoculars. Yeah. Then sees Magda. It's like it's not his binoculars. We're going to know if he needs like the whatever.

Chess Rockwell Brocklinners were for best character named Magda. I had Dom Ogui Woganowski. Oh, that's good. All right. Keep kind of stood up and it's where a best needle drop.

You love this soundtrack, don't you? I really like Mary's prayer by Danny Wilson. I have every day should be a holiday by Danny Warholz. Guys, this is building me up buttercup, please. Come on.

Buttercup stands are the end. Okay. See how you have Flex category? Uh, Brandy Booth. A word for the best performance by Pat goes to Puffy.

Uh, absolutely amazing dog performance.

You know, I don't know how often they were using a dog puppet or dog zombie. You know, like zombie. Yeah. Zombie. Is it like you want to get a dog this movie?

No. Okay. No. But I like to observe from a distance and it's just one and it's just one. One of the funniest dog characters I can think of.

Dorfler's door word for how much did that hurt.

The Franks get no, the beans get over the Franks in the zipper. Ever had a friend who had some sort of like injury down there? Obviously. No. But think about this.

“I think it would have been the most important thing that ever happened any of my friends that that happened.”

You were saying about how when you have young kids that mac and cheese and hotdogs come back in your life. The other thing that comes back in your life when you have little kids is accidental nut shots. Which, like, I just sometimes they're not accident like that. I have a daughter on the sun. So I'm fortunate to not get the purposeful ones.

Ben had six months where he was just like, this is the one area. I know. I'm a part of the funniest thing in the world. And they're like the same height. And that's like, that's the true human, the true male frailty.

Yeah. You surprisingly get hit in the nuts and you're like, I, perhaps I should just die now. Like there's no recourse from that. So just pump that up. This is just such a great, like, depiction of everybody in the 90s and the 80s.

I'm sure like had the story about the kid in the other town.

Over who hadn't pooped all summer, you know?

Yeah. Like it was just like the kid at prom who zipped his balls up and had to be taken away by an ambulance. It's just so, it's so resonant. That's actually what that movie I told you about. Oops, I pooped my pants and killed my daughter for a friend.

Exactly, that's about it. It's about that kid. I almost said that guy's name on the real life. Some of the real guys. Well, just say it.

Just say it. What's like to say it? See a life? He is. You didn't die from that.

No, but he had to go to the hospital. He did. Yeah. What they do. We forgot to talk about how funny it was when they do the 1, 2, and then it cuts the air.

We had a bleeder. It's a great cut. You don't have a zipper story, do you, Craig? I don't. Unfortunately.

He come up with one later. It's so good. I had a, I'm throwing in here. It's a book about metals award for believely best quarter exchange. I took a job with rice eroning.

Isn't that the San Francisco treat? It was. It was. It was kills me for some reason. He's like, no, no.

It's over. It's not the San Francisco treat. I really enjoy that. And then the Billy Bats jackwalt's aware for most biting and scalable insult. Come on, cough it up, chopper.

Would that tell her. Pat Haley won't pay as check right away. This one isn't directly to someone's face.

“But when Pat and Ted are talking, and he goes, who roller-pig are you nuts?”

It's intense. As you said, she was a real spark plug. No, I said butt plug. She's heinous. You can't forget it's a sumo culture, Ted.

They bathe by the pound over there. Right. Sort of like, I'm doing it. My favorite Billy Bats is actually far-be-like. I'm in town to play the dolphins you don't answer.

But she's girlfriend or we click on the film. I got this one. What do you got? The theatrical cut solely. The Jeffrey Tambour part.

So, and this is also because after you've watched like the rest of development, you're like Jeffrey Tambour's in this movie. It must be like a really significant. In the extended cut, he has an entire plot line about him falling off the wagon and being eaten by a python.

But in this theatrical cut, you're just like, why is he in this movie? And what was this whole, what was appointed this? Which one did you watch to prepare for this? I watched the theatrical, and then went to the just the Jeffrey Tambour scene, so the extended cut.

It's tough to cut Jeffrey Tambour, but I don't think this movie needed more stuff in it.

“No, he's very funny when he picks Pat up from the airport as well.”

What did you have for week length? I mean, there's not really like a person in this night. What do you think you have? I have a strong week length. I like week length.

I like week length. You're about to go in on the heavens? That's here. I have Tucker. Oh, no.

It's a nitpick as well. I just don't understand Tucker's plan. Well, okay, but that's. To meet. To meet.

Tucker's plan. That's it. I have that in the category. So, that's he needs Mary. He falls for her.

He pays somebody to break his bat with a baseball bat, so then she could treat him as north of the pedic surgeon. Pretencies in English.

Guy with a cane who's who's basically crippled now from this injury.

But he's also delivering pizza on the side, and he thinks this is going to land Mary. But what happens when he actually lands Mary? Like, he is the worst plan of anyone. And Mary is an orthopedic surgeon when she look at new x-rays of his back and be like, your back has been healed.

Because clearly, all of the falls are suffering. I don't understand really any part of it. Yeah. What is up to it? But it's only one of the things you noticed after watching this movie,

12 times. I'm taking it seriously when it's not meant to. Yeah, I just felt like Tucker could have maybe three more hours in this pitball session. I'm Tucker. Maybe Tucker got injured on a motorcycle.

Mary treated him, and then he'd be. Yeah, there's some better.

I think he's a little bit turned up. I know the movies are ridiculous, but Sean, what you were saying earlier about how Matt Dylan's character is taking it seriously. Chris Elliott. I feel like he's taking it seriously.

I do feel like Tucker is the only character where I'm like, this actually does break the world a little bit. He is like, doing something bigger than the rest of the characters in the movie. It's a little more slapstick and screwball than anyone else. Yeah.

I also had him for the Ruffalo Henry Rubin or Purcho Job Reacting Award. He really doused it up. One of the times. It's weird what happened with him because he was the star of mouse hunt. Remember, the movie mouse hunt in 1987?

Do you ever see that movie? Hmm. And then there's something about Mary and then he's in the least. He's in the fifth element. He was in a bunch of stuff in the late nineties.

He was a big stand-up comic in England.

And then basically never acted in movies again.

He's only in a few more movies. Yes. The world agreed with you. Wait, what was your weakest link? You just didn't really happen.

“There's not really an actor in this that I think is bad.”

In fact, I think it's like over-stuffed way over qualified actors. Yeah. You guys all like the musical interstitials? I personally do, but I'm used to them. I can see why.

It's one of the police signals. Also that there's another... I don't know if it catches this. There's another POV on the story of the movie. That's kind of like tongue and cheek.

You know what I mean? It's like a thing. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, yeah.

You're just not a Jonathan Richmond guy. It's okay. I feel like that's such an easy, like, four minutes that you could take out of the movie. I don't think that's always thinking about length. Well, it's not even that.

I just like those are the moments in the movie where I kind of like, okay. I guess I'll check my phone until they're done. You don't find a funny one for this sniper. That was funny. Sure.

Yeah. The gag at the end. Maybe it's all worth it for that. But I didn't feel that. I felt like that was a little bit.

The second time in your, like, okay.

I kind of get this. Craig, I forgot to ask you what the horrible skill was for this. It's two hour movie. I think you're the 90 minutes. So we're plus 19.

I do think you could probably shave five ten minutes of this movie. And it should maybe.

“So what would you take out besides Jonathan Richmond?”

I think I would, you're probably going to hate this. I would probably, I don't, I don't think you need the hitchhiker scene. And I think you could get rid of the musical stuff. And it's probably like an hour for it. No, the hitchhiker scene is.

How could you not have the hitchhiker scene? It doesn't have anything to do with the movie. It's good. Listen, he's just horrible back in and up. Can I give you this on the Jonathan Richmond?

Uh-huh. Is that the musician? Yeah. The music stuff. It walks of the Danbang and could then run.

Fair with the hangover and what was the other movie they were? They were in a bunch of stuff. They were in two big ones though. Oh, forgetting Sarah Marshall? No.

I mean, no. Wedding crashers? Wedding crashers. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Okay. It's worth it if I get the Danbang. I think it's a great choice. The Jonathan Richmond stuff. It was very 90's.

It does. Cutting the hitchhiker and then the subsequent interrogation scene is not negotiable. When we do get the kindergarten cop guy speaking of it. Which I like. We don't care if we'll be able to handle Hannah Ruback is a Richard Tyson.

This is what I'm detective. Just tough. He's got really tough work on the rewatchables for Richard. What do you think? He crushed it in his movie.

We're going to take more break. And then, uh, do what's at your worst. All right. What's at your worst? Brett Farbra?

Yeah. It's a great casting in 1998. Now, who kind of weird to see him? Yeah. It's tough.

Tough times for Brett. Also. What's going on with the jets?

“And then, uh, Warren Warren, I think, even the fairlies are like, yeah, we probably”

fuck that up. We should have cast somebody who is special needs. Yeah. That's not how they thought in the 90's. Peter said, I wouldn't do that today.

I would hire an actor with intellectual disabilities. They're all over the place. At that time, they weren't didn't get the opportunity to get into that. I don't have any other would-sager words. Uh, I didn't really have- I mean, once you go in on the premise of this film, it's-

Yeah, it's a comedy. Um, Sean, you have fucks category. Yeah. Usually this category is reserved for thrillers and horror films, but when would I have died? Um, it's not the zipper.

It's not when my dates father would have come into the room. It's when the police officer would come through the window. That's when I would have died from zip in mind. Johnson up in my zipper. Police officer would have been timinated in.

Yeah. I think he would have just sort of let the shared stiff feel. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I would have died.

I like it. The CR thinks Luke Wilson could have been Harrison Ford. How does take a word? What do you got here? Is Ted the most arranged of all these guys?

Is Ted sitting around?

Well, I, you know, obviously, I would rank Tucker first.

I think Tucker. But it's why he could not take. It's not like, here's the, here's the mid speed. Ted's lies are just kind of armless. Ted is just kind of a job.

He's a magazine writer. Yeah. Magazine writer. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm curious what kind of pieces he writes. It's funny when it comes to work. Whatever. Is like you could just work from anywhere. Yeah.

Searing explorations of fascism in the New Yorker. Yeah.

So what's the case for Ted being most? Well, I mean, hanging on to that obsession for so long that you're still in therapy about it. You harfied her entire family. Yeah.

In 15 minutes. Like, it's not really, I understand why this severity of your injury made you go retreat within yourself. But like, at point of opportunity, he's probably to reach out. You stalk her.

You use a private investigator to go after her. That private investigator winds up lying to you about it. Yes. You assaults. But then you still pursue her all the way down 905.

You really get arrested from murder. And yeah, obviously, learn some lessons.

“But I think that there's something about the lengths of what he goes to that suggests he might be like the craziest one of the three.”

Solid tech. What do you got? Ben Stiller is the greatest cuck actor of all time. Wow. Who is this company?

If you need a cuck. Yeah. If you need a guy. If you need a bitch boy. Right.

If you need somebody who is like some of a sense. He not only does he make the most sense, but there actually is like not a second choice. There's not a comic actor. Who you could be like. Yeah.

The whole premise of the movie is this guy is a loser. And we'll lose all the way until the end of it. I'll get the girl.

But that's the premise of like nine one hundred million dollar Ben Stiller movies.

Really good. So mine is also a casting would have. The fairly brothers wanted to cast Drew Blitz. And he did a cast. As the Brett Farf character.

And he passed because he had just had this mosh club. Yeah. Which was a big deal. What was the concert? I forget who was playing.

It wasn't ever clear. I think it might have been ever clear. I think it was in Providence. Yeah. I don't remember what city was in.

It was ever clear. Yeah. It was just bad. And it became a huge deal. And like the pay.

This was peak Carol was the coach. This this the inmates are running the asylum kind of stuff. And um, right around then he got any of it. I better not do it. My hardest take is.

“I think this is the most underrated thing that ever happened to Patriot fans.”

Because if he takes this movie.

And it makes three inch and eighty million dollars.

And he becomes a little bit cooler. That confidence then goes on the field. And I don't know if Tom Brady ever happens. Do you think that this does he still do the Everclear concert in this version of that? He'd already done it.

That's why. Yeah. He just said. He does this movie. Redeems himself somehow.

Redeems himself. He becomes. He goes. Jeremiah in this. He's got his mojo back.

Tom Brady's right there. He's like, you know what? I was in there. Something about Mary. I mean, $350 million.

I'm not. I'm not afraid of you. He's. Yeah. Maybe he doesn't run out of bounds.

He just runs out of bounds. Instead taking the hit from my lowest because he's not like insecure. He's just out. Yeah. And this version of events.

It's like Cameron D.S. Dates drew blood. So then Neil deGrasse Tyson. And then. Right.

And then we don't get six super balls. But have you considered that that level of confidence. In drew blood. So it could have led to super balls. From drew blood.

So like it's very possible. I'm just saying it's an answer in universe for the past fence. Would you have? You'd rather have Tom knowing what we know about. Super balls.

And I'm fine with Brad fire being. What about what about six super balls from drew and then not Tom. You know, not choosing a rooting interest in the Super Bowl. You know, some of the deflate gate stuff. I don't know.

I don't think you could have won the six. Bringing in his health consulting one. That's where. Getting cocked by just a bunch in like all these things that happened. You know.

That'd be all. That was a tough one. Yeah. So it's just a kid on video. You don't get tired.

Pretty roasts happen in Tom Brady. Some other stuff. Oops. I brought this up. You may be not the warmest room to do it.

Yeah. Casting what ifs. Owen Wilson and John Stewart were there. The two candidates for Ted. Bill Murray was considered for Pat Haley with fairly studies.

Two old. Vince Vaughn. Cube Gooding Jr. Also considered for Pat Haley.

“I think Vince Vaughn could have done this.”

I think he could have. But I think. I'm glad we ended up there. There's an element of Vince Vaughn. That I think also would have been like a little mug into the camera.

Like. Yeah. Is he. Is he too tall? He was going to be Ted.

Yeah. No. He could have done Pat. Yeah. I think in the pat.

And then they also offered the Mary part. They bread far apart to Steve Young. But he turned it down to the film's course nature. Because he said the Mormons would all come out and see it. And that they would they would reject him.

What do you stand on Steve Young? Uh.

Always admired that you knew when to hang them up.

Yeah. Yeah. The weirdest what it is. That's why it's not as bad. I did not know this one.

Chris Farley turned down Warren. This would have been a real pain.

And it's sure to many way.

He did dirty work. And then he died as they were making the movie. So it probably a good miss by all parties.

“But I think that that would have been really distracting.”

I think that ruins the movie. Yeah. Yeah. I think he would have been seen as more. It would have aged worse.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Best act. I word.

Not eligible. Lenny Clark and Steve Sweeney Richard Tyson. Why are they not eligible? Because I'm making them not eligible. Richard Tyson is not eligible.

We just covered him two weeks ago. He was crisp. People know Richard Tyson is. Okay. Right.

Do I think people know his name is Richard Tyson? No, they probably don't. Fine. He's eligible. I don't.

Did you know who played Magda? Yeah. Yeah.

We also have Sanford from Sex in the City.

Okay. Willie Garcin's right. We're in the long wig with like big sits on it. That's who I had. That's a good one.

I think the winner is W Earl Brown is Warren. He's up there. Deadwood fans are Joyce. The master was Kenny the cameraman in scream. He was in deadwood.

He was in the master. And he apparently had three years in NYPD blue. Lockings. Locking in him getting the fight in the mastery. That's right.

“Um, real ones would go, I think Rob Moran, who is in dumb and dumb or kingpen.”

And then there's something about Mary. He's the bartender and dumb and dumber. Yeah. He's one of the bad guys Stanley Osmansky and kingpen. And he's clearly a fairly brothers extended player.

He's in the troop. He pops up in a bunch of their movies. He's in shallow. He's in my arena. He's the other cop.

He's. Oh, that's Tyson's partner. Oh, that's a good. Yeah. Okay.

I don't know why he's. I don't know why he's. I don't know why he's. He's in here anyway. Sure.

And then Jonathan Richmond. What do you got here? I think it's Jenkins. I don't. Did you say keep David?

Oh, I didn't. I don't know why he's. I said. I said every Brooks and I meant keep that. Just got every Brooks and keep.

They've been confused. We did a whole podcast. I think it's a very Brooks. Yeah. Yeah.

Keep David. We did a whole segment before about how those guys. You could have swapped them in different ways.

“I think there will be a contingent of listeners.”

You think it's Harlem Williams. I would go for. They're the same people who don't think Richard Tyson is of that guy. You know. I think my answer.

Harlem Williams is pretty good. You know that old children's tail from the sea. What do you pick? Keep David. Keep David.

I think it's keep David. Okay. I'll now. I just caught a favorite Brooks. Recast and catch director, city.

Can I test drive Norm McDonald as Tucker? For you guys? Oh. Yeah. Doing the British accent.

Maybe we get rid of the British accent for Norm. But he's just doing Tucker pretending he heard his back. Now he's delivering pizza. So Norm is Pat. Norm is Pat could work too.

I just found Norm McDonald could have been in this movie. Could he have been the Richard Tyson. Could he have been working? He's could have been. Like I just felt like we needed him in this somewhere.

I get it. I mean, Norm fits in perfectly with this movie. If Norm is Tucker, this movie, I think is better. Can I make a suggestion in this category? Yeah.

I want to recast the genre. Because I think you can remake the movie exactly the same. But as a Lord thriller. Oh, my God. It would be such a great from hell.

From hell move it. Yes. But it's like five stalkers from hell that are all going after. Yeah.

He's basically like a sham.

Like opening up her heart and getting it. And then finding out the guy is a complete lie. Exactly. I feel like black stars might be making this right now. It's like power season seven.

Or MGM. MGM plus you. MGM plus. Yeah. I mean, the Chris Elliott turn is legitimately chilling in this movie.

That's right. He was two minutes, where it's very kind of scary. Yeah. When he's got like his faces full of boils, like twitching and he's got the eye boil. Yeah.

Yeah. The shoot thing really deflated. They're very smartly pivoted to having it. Because you obviously think it's going to be like him doing something physical to her. And he's just smelling or shoot soul.

Yeah. Craig, you have a flex category. I'm going to work put on my van hat. And I'm going to do a top five list. Top five most shocking and hilarious.

Male nudity and a major comedy. Okay. Does it proceed in there something about Mary? Mm-hmm. The ball sack on the drum set and stepbrothers.

Yeah. Jason Seagull full nude surprise. Yeah. And forget it's very Marshall. Yeah.

The Borat naked hotel fight. Yeah. And Ken Jong naked crowbar scene in the hangover. So those are all comedies. Yeah.

That's the category. Oh, it was just comedies. Yes. funniest naked. Yeah.

Well, shocking and hilarious. And LA when Peterson is just like, let me go. I laughed. The other contenders. MC Gany and sideways.

Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. That's a really good one.

Yeah. We get to see him running. And then the giant devil penis. And this is the end. I don't know.

I don't know. They do. Yeah. How do you Google? I delicately.

And that's what he did. Yeah. Hey, Claude. Yeah.

“You'd be surprised if you'd be surprised if you'd be surprised if you'd be surprised if you'd be surprised.”

This is the first time you talked to Claude.

Okay. Was the circus? Yeah. But curious about it. I made sure that Google knew it, like humorous male nudity scenes that are jokes.

Funny male nudity scenes. Let's get your search history up on the screen right now. Can we get that? I got nothing to hide. I stand by this time.

It's just like I let an end date. Can I give you the answer? Okay. First of all, great category. It's not on this list.

Your answer? No. The answer is Borat. That's the fucking funniest. That's why it's Borat.

Never. With the fucking Osama. Like that. That's it. That's the peak of everything.

Another movie that had the same kind of energy. Yeah, Borat. Yeah.

The theater is the same thing.

Half out of the internet research. The scene when Ted gets his skirt of stuck in his pants was inspired by a real incident. Fairly brothers. Their sister was listening to records.

“And one of the kids went to the bathroom.”

Friends with their sister had that happen. Not the same thing with some of it. When Ted falls up the stretcher, not scripted. They kept it in. Some mistake bent still or fell off.

The waterfront of the scene grabbed his arm. Yeah. Realistically, the waterfront house where Mary lived in Miami was destroyed in 2008 by a construction accident. It's gone.

High school scene in the beginning was shot at plantations city hall in Florida. They saw a rough cut. They thought it was too rachi. And they requested to not be acknowledged in the credits. When you offend Florida, you've really pulled something off.

And then we mentioned the tambour scene. And then the DS worried that the jail scene was going to gross people out. So they shot two versions. There's also like a pretty pointless. But like, I guess, you know, it's like, if you're curious,

there's one of the extended cut scenes is about like Ted's family. It's like, oh, Ted's brother and like donating kidneys to the brother. There's like, like, they build it up a little bit more. But what has been doing between apex mountain still or no. We're not there yet.

Okay. I don't have a store. Diaz, I think yes. I think she comes out of this. Is this her biggest movie?

Because it's my best friend's one in the year before then this. And I feel like she has the juice. Now that leads to Charlie's angels.

She gets 20 million for Charlie's angels too.

I think sure. It's not Charlie's angels. Might be. But I feel like she was the acre. She kind of takes Julia Roberts is ironically like probably her title here.

Right? She could have done whatever she wanted after this movie. Yeah. She's like two rom-coms late when I was looking at the IMDB because that she eventually doesn't know how it is.

Sweetest thing isn't really rom-com, but. You know, she. She. Well, it's like, it's a comedy. She just made more sex comedies than rom-coms.

Yeah, she was not really a rock. She's in the holiday, but she was not really a rom-com person. She's been making like a while. You were sleeping. But she really should be like sex tape.

You know, she. She made the mouth of the movie. Yeah. She did the. Thanks in New York.

Yeah. Matt Dillon. What's Matt Dillon's effects mountain? I think it's the 80s. Do you think it's outsiders?

I think a rumble fish or whatever. He felt like he was the biggest teen actor in the world in the 83 84 range for a couple years. Mm. The fairly brothers.

Yes. Oh. This leads to me myself. And I read a year later, which is some blockers movie. A year now.

I wrote down the fairlys. And I think it's probably the answer. But. You know, Peter fairly one. That's picture.

Mm. Like whatever 20 years later. What? So would you say this was Bobby Farley's Apex Mountain, but Peter Farley was winning for Green Book?

I think it's.

“I think it's theirs just because as a combo, this is it.”

I think Peter Farley and Bobby Farley probably go out. Like they could do a screening for this movie tomorrow. And it would be full. And they would be like arts. I don't know that Green Book has that.

That, like, you can't have a comedy. Do better than this. I don't think. If this movie was an absolute comedy phenomenon. The made a ton of money.

Yeah. And created. Either created stars or mids. There's bigger. It's also just so striking.

Because like we just did Ghostbusters and the watch and movie where it's like. Ghostbusters still at the last 20 minutes is like kind of a sci-fi movie. Yeah. Like a lot of the jokes and jokes. Ghostbusters are said to the side of like the plot.

This movie is like every scene is a gag. Every scene gives up to a big, big punch line. The Providence Bruins. No. Chris Elliott.

What was the Providence Bruins? A huge poster in the Ben one bedroom scene with Ben Stor. But I'm saying, was there another apex now? And they want a couple of age child titles. Okay.

Chris Elliott.

Yeah. I think it's letter. Eightpacks. It's probably this.

I mean, maybe that first episode of Get a Life where I was like, it's happening.

Like you played for like the premiere episode. It's like it's on Fox. Was it Sunday night? Like again. That's probably after the seasons, right?

Like that was. Right. Herman. I was more of a Herman's head guy.

“Would you go funny come scenes or something else here?”

I mean, Buffalo makes it pretty high up there for funny come scenes. But it's unintentional comedy. This is the most intentional come. See in funny. What are some other come scenes?

Craig. What are you going to do that for us? Yeah. I'll pull that up. Funny.

It's come scenes. Hold that, guys. Uh, Frank's in beans. Eightpacks mountain for the terminology. The phrase or Frank's in beans.

I think it's the funniest penis injury I've ever seen on. I will say this. Frank's in beans has been a running joke on my house ever since about actual Frank's in beans. And like, uh, you know, changing. You could change you go anywhere.

Like, I don't know where you're going to take it. Changing our son's diaper. Okay. Okay. Like, make sure you get under the Frank's in beans.

Like that. It's just been in the next comment. Sorry Ben. Um. Miami comedies.

I'm going to say yes. Uh, yeah. Okay. Miami vices hilarious to me. Miami movies gets a little more shit.

I think it's Miami vices. Oh, I'm just excited. It's my car face for Miami vices. You've talked about it. Okay.

“Did you want you want to do like a separate little segment at the end of this?”

Did you hear Sean's idea? Flip it on. Flip it on. Oh, making. Oh, making.

Oh, making. And be jealous. MBJ is Crackett in Austin Butler is tough. Steck out me excited. Right.

Isn't that the move? That is the move. I don't think Austin Butler can be sunny Crackett. But MBJ can be sunny. Have we ever seen him smoke a cigarette?

Uh, I feel like he smoked cigarettes and caught stealing, right? He does. And then has that not what they're doing? It's not MBJ is sunny.

I don't know. I feel like it would have to be. Uh, that would be weird for Michael B. Jordan to be like,

I'm happy to play second.

A great fiddle to Austin Butler. I just want to ask her. Jamie did it. Yeah. And he was bigger at the time.

And had come up with coming off the right way. Crazy sentence. And it's actually the same things coming off the right way. Crazy brown sentence.

“I think yes, Jonathan Richmond definitely is.”

Cruise or hanks. I cruise. Cruise as, as Ted or somebody else. I would like to see cruise with the jumpers as healy. See, I think actually 80's hanks could do pat healy.

Yeah. Oh, interesting. I had hanks either as, as Ted or pat healy. Hanks could have done either. Cruise could have done the, the hitchhiker.

[laughter] Seven minute abs. I think hanks is the answer. Score says you're Spielberg. Tough one for these guys.

I think it's Marty and it's Cape Fear. It's basically a good thriller. That's good. The Catherine Tremel, would you throw your life away for this. I'd be a stay away award.

Is that for Mary? Who's the stay away? I think it's Mary just because she is all these psychos after her. Oh, yeah. Oh, once you find out her dating history and it's like, you've dated an F.L.

Quarterback and re-guys. Yeah. She's the main anchor track to show the entire time. Yeah. You get murdered by some stalker.

Yeah. I would still throw it away. Picking it's, why does Mary's an orthopedic surgeon, but lives in this weird complex where she shares about. Is there a, what's going on here?

I, I, I, I, I feel like this is like basically right out of like 90 sitcoms.

Where it's like, yeah, they all live together. I was like, why would they all live with Magda? Wouldn't she be in like a, on the 34th floor of some high-rise? Is it supposed to be that she's back this next door neighbor and is like kind of shares a balcony.

Yeah. That's what it is with Magda. No, she lives next door. Yeah. She explains it, right?

Yeah. It just has been dies and was lonely. And Cameron Diaz is like the most outristo human that's ever lived. Right. So it's doing her a favor keeping her company.

And then Magda starts nailing the, the homeless die doc worker. Speaking of Mary does, does she have patients? Is she working? What's going on here? She seems to like, she's Tucker in her office.

Yeah, but that's the, otherwise it's like during the day. She's like driving around the surgeries. Like golf and buy like checkers for her. She's working at the camp. Yeah.

She's checking out her golf. You wanted more scenes of her. Well, that might explain why she's living in a small apartment. Not getting a lot of business. Yeah.

Would it like to have seen her at least like move somebody's knee around. I'm like, how's your ACL feel better? Um, that's what happens. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Wouldn't Ted have known that he went to the same high school as Wiggy. Well, you went to Borington Falls or whatever. But she knew Mary's, okay, same sit, same town. Yeah.

We heard about it four towns over it.

Yeah. He knows this guy's name is Don Wuganowski.

Never put the tune together.

I guess Ted's on a record set. Yeah. He's just a magazine writer. I have one more big one. But do you have it?

Yeah. I know what Dom's plan here was. Dom gets the ball rolling downhill. Yeah.

“Why isn't he helping Ted but trying to sabotage him?”

He's a mania. But he wants he lead a fine Mary. And then he's going to go. But like when he's home watching cops was he like, I might go down there anyway. Or is he only go down there once Ted gets arrested?

Well, he's relieved earlier in the film when he hears that Mary is overweight. And he is only interested really in coming down when he finds out it's a ruse, right? Yeah. So then when he learns and Mary says that it's breaking out. Yeah.

Yeah. How would Ted ever get a hold of Brett Farb, the week of the Dolphins game? Incredible question. Brett Farb's like 30 million people are watching NFL games. I don't know.

Like back in '98, those guys have to go through massive film sessions.

Wasn't it just kind of go out there and throw some frozen ropes? Out of all 30 starting corebacks, man. And I fell. Who's the one you think you get closest to getting in touch with right now? Oh, this is a fucking awesome question.

Not jail and hurts, I'll tell you that, man. It's for darn sure. I would have said, darling. A week. I don't.

They're super bull. Why not? Because he seems like a regular guy. He seems like the kind of guy would be like, I also like prestige television. I would be like, and maybe DM once.

What do you think?

“I think the answer is Drake, man, because you go through his wife.”

I mean, when I just bury you. No. You go through Drake, man. He's a wife. And she's on social media all the time.

- I just do like, I want to help. - Hi, I'm Chris Ryan. - Hi, I'm the watch. - You see that? (laughing) - Is that how you introduce yourself

the new purpose right out of the watch? - No. - No, who's like the least successful act. - I bet Bryce Young. - Bryce Young.

- Number one over 10. - Oh, this is stupid, Baker. Baker would definitely have to answer. - Baker. - Isn't the answer Tyler Schuck?

It's like 25 happy to be here. - No, but Baker actually would be good. - Baker would be good. - Yeah, I mean, I'll come hang out on like a Thursday. - Yeah.

- Actually, Baker does like three pods a week. - Any other pickin' nits? - To me, the biggest one is like, I get paths move here. Okay, let me go back. Is paths move to have sex with Mary?

Or is it to be in love forever? - I think he loves him. - I think that's a Mary Mary. - Yeah, he loves him.

“- Okay, so that plan is gonna fall apart as the end point, right?”

- And he's probably got an uncappest teeth. - Right. - And then you already pointed out Tucker Norm's long game is just baffled. - Yes.

- But speaks to Mary's flawed orthopedic surgery career. - Right. - Sequel Priko Prestige to be all black cast around touchable. I think it's untouchable. Is this movie better way?

- Do you sure you don't want to do all black cast? - I think it's an untouchable. Is this movie better with Wayne Jenkins, Furgy the Flores, Zainlow, Robert Evans, Ryan Ruko, or somebody else?

- I definitely think that there was some space here for Furgy because of the new one. - Yeah, and it's just like Furgy being like, you're gonna do this for me. You're gonna go down to Miami and find this Mary.

- Okay. - Or I'm gonna clip ya. - Furgy like my little head? - Yeah. - Furgy is, I don't think I can handle

for Furgy is wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo. Furgy the Flores watching cops is not okay. - You don't want to do Robert Evans explore it, Mary? (laughing) - When did Robert Evans come back here?

- Robert Evans is back. - Okay, give me. - I don't know if you want to do it. - Robert Evans, Robert Luzia. - Robert Evans.

- Was Robert Evans ever in the mix here? - I don't know. - I just thought we'd throw that. - Mary had the kind of legs that could stop a room. - She had Kelly Court his golf swing.

(laughing) - She loved being on a stick. It's she could hit a three-iron, hundred-and-any-earth. (laughing) - Where did Robert Evans go?

- I introduced it to Steve McQueen

and I never saw him in the mix yet.

- I introduced it to Brett Fox. She was living in Green Bay this time next year. - Brett Fox, never one of the game that year. - Just wanna ask her who gets it. You go Dylan?

- Yeah. - I'm going the prop master. - Oh, I'll go the script. - We got a puffy. We got, we got low-become, you know?

- Yeah. - Probably an answer for questions. What replaced rest areas as the bath houses of the 90s for the next three decades? - It's a great question, Bill.

- Well, we're in the zero zero. (laughing) - I don't know, I don't answer that. - I'm not sure I know. - Yeah, I don't know, I don't really know either.

- Maya, a question was-- - I think Tinder hopped in there. - Yeah, I think online, like, swipe-lifts, like, swipe-lifts. - Or swipe-lifts. - Or, yeah, one of those swipe, yeah.

- What's the podcast equivalent of emptying the baby batter before the date? It's like, is that like when I do the watch before the rewinds? - Before we recorded, Bill was like,

you guys fresh, done the podcast today? There's one, don't want to be all used up. Just trying to squeeze a second one out. - Well, I had Zach last night. We recorded most of the podcast,

but then we did the top late night. And he's like, groggy and half asleep. - Yeah, that's the best version of Zach. - I think you guys will talk about I/O. And he's just like, I don't know what the fuck you do there.

- I love groggy's Zach. - Did Ted and Mary get married?

“- I think they date for like six weeks and break up.”

- Yeah, 'cause he can't carry this. - What do you mean? - Now, she's, she's like, marrying Ronnie. - I also think he gets nude by we didn't talk about this by Sarah Silverman and Katie Alexander.

I don't think he lasts five seconds with them. - Oh, true, we forgot to mention them. They're two very stereotypical 90s rom-com comedy, girls hanging out seeing this. - Yeah.

- This is my big one. How did this movie not have a sequel? - I assume they had a chance to do it. - This is just good thinking. This is like, like, let's not fuck with this.

Like, a sequel, a bad sequel, this movie screws up the integrity of this movie. - All right, you're saying that rationally. - Like, I'm surprised to you. - Like, somebody that is treated in the movie industry,

like something that's not gonna bastardize good IP, the moment they feel like they sniffed some dollar signs. It's crazy to me, Ben Stower is a much bigger star. Cameron Diaz is a much bigger star for this movie. The fairly brothers probably needed some sort of comeback

thingy in the around 2005, six range.

And they never thought about doing a sequel.

- It's crazy, they did a sequel to Dumb and Dumber. They did the three stages movie. They remade the heartbreak kit. So it's not like they were above this kind of thing. - I just did it.

- It's the all-time lamp. I can't believe they didn't do it. - And you haven't been still now. - To the idea. So they basically, this movie comes out in '98.

They essentially need to make this movie before '08 to get it under the social media wire. Because after that, it's just like, yeah, I know what Mary's doing. I walked by looking around Facebook.

- Right. - And so like, there's only a small window to kind of pull off that premise. - Cameron Diaz is only 53. I mean, you could easily,

we're going to spaceball seek.

“- Well, we're going to meet the Focker's grandkids movie, right?”

- Yeah. - Oh, that's, yeah, that's right. Meet Focker and Law. - Focker and Law. - The secret handshake memorability

you'd want from this movie. I have a great one for this, but you go. - Mary's signature golf bag. - Oh. - And Warren's earmuffs?

- That's really good. - That one's right. - So earmuffs are the red earmuffs, yeah. - This is what Peter said about the hair gel. Somebody hired a guy to make different loads.

He showed up with a leather briefcase, like a business bed that had 30 or 40 loads at it. We called Ben over and would hold one up at a time like an airing. People would say no to small, kind of lumpy.

That's how we decided afterwards.

We never saw the crew member again.

He shed his briefcase and left. We were laughing like who is that guy and how does he have that job? I'd want the briefcase. - The briefcase full of loads.

- You want the loads in the briefcase? - I want the whole package. (laughing) I want everything.

“- They probably, like calcified since I did it.”

- What's every day used for the loads for you? What do you, people come over and they say, "Hey, do you like something about Mary?" (laughing) And I love my loadcase.

- Flood gone down, I put her on my ass, lovely pops up my mouth, the word for something I just enjoy. A loadcase. - I like a movie where everybody has a job,

but nobody works. So like Cameron Diaz is an orthopedic surgeon, but spends the day hanging out at the driving range. Ben Stiller apparently has just a team amounts of pTO to like stock his ex-girlfriend.

I don't want to spend a lot of time working with these guys. - I love when a movie introduces a character who seems completely ancillary and incidental and turns out to be the psychopath at the center of a movie.

- Yeah. - The wookie reveal is good. - The theaters are pretty great. - Double feature? - I would go kinkin' just to get the fairly brothers

over it. - I said American pie. That was just held us down two summers, two July's in a row. - What do you got?

- Dumb and dumber. - Okay. - What's just laugh, for three and a half hours. - Who won the movie? - I know it's the fairly brothers, but it's doing.

Interesting. For this viewing. So there's four candidates for this.

And I should think the answer is Ben Stiller.

Because he goes from, I didn't know you could be the lead of a comedy to then ripping off 11 straight years of comedies. And it's because of this movie. And I don't know if it happens without this movie.

- Are you the deciding voter?

- I think it's Cameron Diaz. - There you go.

“- I think there's a really good case for both of them.”

I think Matt Jones of Funniest part of the movie. I think Ben Stiller goes on to the greatest amount of success in the movie. But it's Cameron Diaz on the poster. It's Cameron Diaz's movie.

It's hard character's name in the title. This is the thing that catapults her. - I thought about her, but I feel like she's gonna win the next 15 years anyway. - I'll tell you what it was supposed to be.

- I don't know if Ben Stiller wins the next 15 years.

- She never nominated for an Oscar.

You know, not really remembered. - She's never done an Oscar beat. - Yeah. - Gengs of New York and being John Nuke. But she's nominated for a globe for being John Nuke of it.

And she's, she's been nominated for awards before, but never quantified to that mountain top. - The inner fairs thing was, I felt like that was bad for a little bit. - Yeah, that was a shot.

- What was the inner fairs thing? - In Boston Translation. - Oh, yeah. - She got a globe nom for something but there. - For this, yeah.

- A globe nom. - And now it's time we go to Craig for his take on the movie. - You'd say we didn't decide who won the movie. - Who do you think won the movie? - Uh, we didn't get the movie.

- We didn't get the movie. - In the moment, it's Cameron Diaz. But I think if you watch the movie now, it's Matt Dillon. Because you're going back here,

just so surprised at how funny he is.

And I can't believe that he didn't go on to do more comedy. - Well, this is like, this is a little apex mountain because it's like, who won the movie is different than who won the movie? - Right.

- Right. - Like, there's the best part of the movie and the person who benefited most from the movie.

“- Which I think we do in that, I think it's Ben Stower.”

- It's still. - Well, when you walked out of the movie in 1998, probably Diaz being like, wow, who is that? - Yeah. - Well, also, the fairly brothers I would have been like,

give me season tickets now with you guys. - Where do you stand on the like, the run after this? - Me myself and Irene shallow how. Hall pass, all those movies. - I didn't like shallow how.

I did not like, what was the other one? - Me myself and Irene was carried as peak. Like, that was where Stower. - Shallow how and stuck on you. I wanted to like, stuck on you, it just didn't work.

- Yeah. - It's just, it just didn't happen and then fever pitches in the front. - I still like fever pitch. - You know, that's fine.

Oh, I can do it. - Craig, what was your take? - I love this movie. The script is just really impressive. Like the amount of callbacks that they're able to weave

back into the story. Like there is no stone left unturned. It's really impressive. Like every little mention, her having an export for a name Brett, everything ties up in a really--

- Really in. - Yeah, in a really, really impressive way. It's just a great set piece comedy. And I think the, I think there was a sweet spot for set piece comedies and I think CGI kind of ruined them.

“Or I think when you have to live in like the reality”

of what you're literally physically able to do while shooting a movie, I think set pieces were just way funnier because it was like real humans doing real stuff. And this is like a perfect sweet spot with that.

And then what you got past certain, like, 20/10s, there was like way more CGI in things in the humor to me felt more artificial. - Oh, and Warren beats up Ted. - It's real.

- It would be so fake now. - Yes, probably. - And I think there's like-- - The way it looks like he took those bumps. - But they would do it the way they do like those fake,

like this John Wick movies, like Bob Oden Kirk, action movies where it's like, "Oh, I'm flying through the window."

- Because they always think bigger is better.

And then with CGI, you can go huge. But I actually think it takes away some of the humanity of it. And so that this movie is within like a 10/15 your sweet spot of all the set piece comedies. - Mm-hmm.

They might be. - I forgot to mention, I like when they try on the outfits and Warren's dress as like a cowboy and then Ben Stoward comes out with a big super hair off it. - Also a driving range on the waters,

it's like the coolest thing about showing the life. - Yeah, how many of these are there for the body of water? - Why isn't there one of those in LA? - I bet there is somewhere in the valley. - So that is the idea that you've got

of underwater ball scooper. - I guess. - That seems like-- - It would only improve the water. - It would only improve the water. - Or just like there is, you know?

- See, our film, it was a pleasure. - It was a pleasure, yeah. - I'm sorry you didn't like my day of having the suitcase of all the stunt come loads. - I just wanted to know what you were gonna do with it.

Like I think it would be, if you did a series look at it if I had in the house. - I would check it out. I would be like, how can we ruin Ben's night with this? - I don't think they made 30 of them.

I was just so fascinated by this. - I mean, good like Halloween. - Hand in those eyes. - Yeah. - Do you think the guy who made the loads has like had a good job?

Do you think-- - I think he said he was in props. But now, I think probably about 2007, probably moved back to where I really came from. It was like I'm moving back to New Jersey. - Yeah. - Yeah.

- Like into his mom's house, or do you have him? - I just don't think it really probably worked out. - Maybe we were as low as that. - Yeah, I think it was a quick point to G.I. came in. - Yeah, yeah.

- You might say he was load bearing. - Sean, new newsletter. - Yeah, hey, hey. - Hey, projections. - Yeah, that's it.

- They do like a paragraph, but they're something about Mary. - Oh, it'll be nice. - I would love to promote this fine podcast. - Dude, that's little better.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Thanks a lot for those numbers out.

- Thanks for your help.

- Thanks Craig, we're back as well.

Thanks to Gahau and Eduardo as well.

“- Thanks to Lewis K for hanging out with me”

for the first time in two years.

- I was thinking of him. - Yeah, that was nice to him. - And we'll see you. We're doing all comedies this month, so we'll see you.

“I'm not sure what the comedy's gonna be next week,”

but we'll see you next week. (upbeat music)
