1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.839
I'd like to begin today's episode with a poignant quote

2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:09.599
from former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt in nineteen thirty six,

3
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:17.160
America is all about speed, hot, nasty, badass speed. Let's

4
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.760
talk about a film by Adam McKay, his two thousand

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.679
and six NASCAR comedy celebrating its twentieth anniversary Believe it

6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:52.640
or not, this year Talladegait's The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

7
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.600
Hello everybody, I'm Jeff Johnson and this is a film

8
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.200
by podcast.

9
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:01.320
I have got a treat for you today.

10
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.799
My two guests go together like Chinese food and chocolate pudding.

11
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.879
I mean they they are cocaine and waffles. And they

12
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.159
happen to be the hosts of one of my new

13
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:19.640
favorite podcasts, Accidental Legends. Matt Brent Derk Smith.

14
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:21.280
Welcome to the show. Guys.

15
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.159
Hey, Jeff Hels are going Wow, what an intro.

16
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.159
Right, Thanks Jeff Man. We're we're so glad to be here.

17
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:30.799
Well, listen, we've been talking.

18
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:33.879
I know we we kind of met back last year

19
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.560
in the fall or at the at the Shirley Fest

20
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.640
two and you guys were just now you were starting

21
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.040
to talk about the podcast and like Hey, we're gonna

22
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.799
make this happen. I was, I just I couldn't wait.

23
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.879
I was looking forward to it. I'll just I'll just

24
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.959
be honest. A few of my favorite episodes bon Jovi's

25
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.680
Living on a Prayer, your two parter that you did

26
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:02.200
for Flash Gordon. But give us, guys, give us an

27
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.959
idea of what we're in store for when we when

28
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.040
we tune into the Accidental Legends podcast.

29
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:08.759
Matt, you want to you want to.

30
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:09.840
Do that, I'll take it.

31
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:10.120
Well.

32
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.840
You mentioned Living on a Prayer, that that was the

33
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.439
song that kind of birthed the whole idea of Accidental Legends.

34
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.319
You know, Jon bon Jovie didn't want Living on a

35
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.840
Prayer as a song. Oh and by the way, it's

36
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.199
his biggest song of all time, so that concept of

37
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.680
the artist hated it, didn't like it, didn't think it

38
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.800
would go versus what actually happened. It's actually his biggest

39
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.360
song ever. And that was what captured me about the

40
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.759
whole idea of the Accidental Legends.

41
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.919
And the whole the whole idea behind your show is

42
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:52.520
these are big songs, big movies, big whatever it is,

43
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.919
it's big, but it shouldn't.

44
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.080
Have been, right, it. It probably should not have worked,

45
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.280
but it did. And I absolutely love what you guys do.

46
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.639
I've always been fascinated with the biographies in the entertainment

47
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.879
industry of you know, all the cards were stacked against

48
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.560
them and they couldn't get the budget for it, and

49
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.759
they had the dream and nobody believed in it. But

50
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.639
for all of us, like in our generation, Generation X

51
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.479
or whatever, it just simply existed and was like a

52
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.039
part of our lives, like Star Wars, like Raiders of

53
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.560
the Lost Start we didn't know any better. But when

54
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.400
you dig in, you realize that, you know, every idea

55
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.199
has a beginning, And it's just fascinating to me that

56
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.199
if you don't go for those dreams, if you don't

57
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.919
push a little farther because you believe in yourself, these

58
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.919
things could have just as easily gone away and we'd

59
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:42.840
have never heard of them.

60
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.080
Well, I'm glad you guys aren't going anywhere. I know

61
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.280
you just kind of wrapped up on season one. Not

62
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.080
too long ago, you did this cool like an April

63
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.000
Fool's thing.

64
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:53.000
I was listening to it.

65
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.199
Not too long ago, you guys covered spies like us,

66
00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:02.159
which I gotta say, I own it. I was like,

67
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:05.439
and it's one of those like this is a situation

68
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.080
where you guys kind of turned the tables. It's like,

69
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:09.879
this should have definitely worked, this should have been everything,

70
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:11.840
and yet it kind of wasn't.

71
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:12.360
It was.

72
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.039
It was a misfire, right. I love what you guys

73
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.720
did on that one. I'm kind of like, it depends

74
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.160
on the day. It depends on the mood you catch

75
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.000
me in. I'm either I'm either a big fan of

76
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:23.600
spies like us, or I'm like that movie.

77
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:24.519
That movie sucked.

78
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.959
But when you see the DVD for five dollars and

79
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.720
you're like, I know, I laughed at that when I

80
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.519
was eleven, so I'm gonna buy it.

81
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.720
It goes back and forth. But uh, one other thing

82
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.360
I'll give you guys heads up.

83
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:39.720
I know you guys were talking a little bit about

84
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.160
SCTV during that episode, and you guys were like, ah, man,

85
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.920
I'd like to like to find that, like to catch that.

86
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.399
Sources indicate it should be available this year on Prime

87
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:54.480
sometime very soon, So cool, keep your eyes peeled out.

88
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:55.439
Adam McKay.

89
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.560
He is the director of Talladega Nights, The Ballad of

90
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.839
Ricky Bobby. Three Things that You guys and our listeners

91
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.439
may not know about Adam McKay, and I'm going to

92
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:11.240
drop you a quote. He got his start as a

93
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.480
stand up comic before writing and directing for Saturday Night

94
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.920
Live back in nineteen seventy five, which honestly surprised me.

95
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.680
I just assumed he's a buddy of Will Ferrell, so

96
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:21.879
they're probably the same age.

97
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.920
But this guy is auditioning.

98
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.279
For Saturday Live back when it was not ready for

99
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.800
prime time players. He didn't make the cut, but he

100
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.160
was strong enough to get a writing gig, so that's

101
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:39.040
where he ended up. You know, in television, he was

102
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.879
a founding member of comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade, as

103
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.720
well as an alumnus of a Second City improv company

104
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.000
in Chicago, Illinois.

105
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.639
Not to be confused with SCTV those guys, but.

106
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.879
Surprisingly because everyone you know, you think Adam McKay and

107
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.480
you think I'm going to laugh. But he has directed

108
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.519
three films that have been nominated for Best Picture Oscar.

109
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:07.000
I'm talking about twenty fifteen's The Big Short, twenty eighteen's Vice,

110
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.240
and most recently, twenty twenty one's Don't Look Up.

111
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.000
So if you've seen them. You know the guy, The

112
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:14.920
guy knows what he's doing.

113
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:21.480
You accept, Yeah, except for one thing. On making sequels,

114
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.560
Adam McKay had this to say, I'm quoting him here.

115
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.079
Sequels are desperate. We're cooler than that.

116
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.680
We kind of thought, wait a minute, if we do

117
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.920
a sequel, we'll have enough cred from the first movie

118
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:34.199
that we could do.

119
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.199
Crazy ass shit.

120
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.000
We won't have to establish new characters and story and

121
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:39.399
jump right into what we want to do.

122
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.000
And the second part was can we make a good sequel?

123
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.639
There are a lot of flat comedy sequels. Can we

124
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:46.199
make one that?

125
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.839
Does it suck? If you've seen the sequel to Anchorman?

126
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.720
I think you have that answer, and I'm just calling

127
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:54.480
it like I see it.

128
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.120
So you guys, look, you guys.

129
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.800
Are you guys do a great job digging deep on

130
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.680
your on your episode. Anything that we that maybe maybe

131
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.639
you could offer on Madam McKay a couple Maybe you

132
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.600
guys have a couple of things we don't know which

133
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.600
I go ahead.

134
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.720
Sorry, no, I was, I was saying what you got, Derek.

135
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:12.959
Well, I do have a little bit of an accidental

136
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.480
legend spin on McKay. So you had talked about The

137
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.759
Big Short, and before he had done comedies, so he

138
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.600
had intentionally pivoted from the absurd comedy and wanted to

139
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:28.240
move more into the serious, you know, the information heavy storytelling,

140
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.279
starting with The Big Short and then his movies after that.

141
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.199
Many movie studios at the time thought that this was

142
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.720
going to fail. How can you go from making super

143
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.839
comedies to more serious based films. That's kind of a

144
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.959
hard thing to pivot. So I just thought, well that right,

145
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.279
there is a is an accidental legend slant that is absolutely.

146
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:49.600
I'll be honest.

147
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.800
I get I get recommended to see The Big Short,

148
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.879
and I'm like, The Big Short? Who autam Adam McKay

149
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.480
And I was like, I don't know. You know, Anchorman

150
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:06.600
Ron Berget, you know, step Brothers is like, oh okay, yeah,

151
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:10.279
that dude's awesome, Like his movies are hilarious, and they're like, yeah,

152
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:11.120
check out The Big Short.

153
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.639
I was like yeah. They're like, you won't laugh at all.

154
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.279
I was like yeah, and I just thought they're being sarcastic,

155
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.199
like like I'm gonna laugh NonStop.

156
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:19.360
They're right.

157
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.759
It's it's like, you know, it's a pretty serious film

158
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.360
and it's pretty damn good.

159
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:27.160
So right, yeah, yeah, yeah, So you said he was.

160
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.039
A writer on Saturday Night Live. He was the head

161
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.200
rider as Saturday Night Live at the age of twenty eight,

162
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.480
so the last two years he was on he was

163
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:48.120
on the show. He wanted a specific nonsensical credit on

164
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.519
the closing crawls as the as everything was closing out.

165
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:57.200
He didn't want to be listed as writer because who

166
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.559
really wants to be listed as rider? How boring is that?

167
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:06.360
He wanted to be the coordinator of falconry, the coordinate

168
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:11.440
the coordinator of falconry and there were no falcons or

169
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.039
hawks harmed in the making.

170
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:19.080
Will that that says a lot If you've ever listened

171
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.159
to one of his audio commentaries, I'm a big audio

172
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.639
commentary guy, and I'll tell you I don't mind when

173
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.759
they're fun and just two buddies hanging out like a

174
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:32.600
like a John Carpenter Kurt Russell situation. And I love

175
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:34.679
when it's gonna be a deep dive. I'm gonna tell

176
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.440
you everything about this movie and every scene.

177
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:37.200
I love that too.

178
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:42.320
Adam McKay, he's he's not deep diving, and he's he's

179
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:46.360
he's having conversations, but he is just just sarcastic and

180
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:51.000
just playing a character and just I mean it, it's

181
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.600
something to listen to. I don't know if you'd love it,

182
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.120
but you know he makes it.

183
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:55.960
Uh, he's entertaining. I'll give him that.

184
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.320
I got a couple more things for him. Lay it honest, man,

185
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:00.919
if you want him, if you want them.

186
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:02.320
You're the guest.

187
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:06.720
Please services You guys talked about the whole idea of

188
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:13.919
him doing serious films that really became kind of the

189
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:14.919
bridge too far.

190
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.679
He was he had a production company with Will Ferrell

191
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:24.240
and it was called Oh, don't ask me, Gary Sanchez Production. Yes,

192
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:31.039
Gary Sanchez was this fictional Paraguay and entrepreneur that Will

193
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.559
supposedly had in his BlackBerry back in the day. But

194
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.519
the way that Will describes it is they got on

195
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:44.960
different bandwidths and kind of the last straw was when

196
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.600
McKay cast Adam c Riley is Jerry Buss in Winning Time,

197
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.759
And so that was just kind of the straw that

198
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:59.320
broke the camel's back in terms of their productions and

199
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:04.000
ship It lasted like fifteen years and in twenty nineteen

200
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.039
they broke up.

201
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.399
Yeah, which is unfortunate because I thought they were doing

202
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:12.360
great work, but you know, maybe we get the band

203
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:16.440
back together someday, but who knows until then. So we

204
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.279
kind of we're doing something a little different this season.

205
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.559
We always talk about our favorite directors, big directors, but

206
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.240
we talk about we focus on their underrated hits, and

207
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.639
we usually do a pretty good synopsis on what these

208
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.799
underrated movies are. This year, we kind of did what

209
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.039
you guys did with your April Fool's Day, Like we

210
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:37.639
turned the tables on everybody and we said, hey, we're

211
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.320
gonna talk about big movies, blockbuster movies, which is why

212
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.559
we're talking about Talladega Knights, the Ballad of Ricky Bobby,

213
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.559
and we're focusing on the twentieth and twenty fifth anniversaries,

214
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.039
so it's two thousand and one movies, it's two thousand.

215
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:48.440
And six movies.

216
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.200
But we just said, let's not bore everyone with a big,

217
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.399
long synopsis because everyone's seen these movies. So the challenge

218
00:11:55.440 --> 00:12:00.159
this year this season, tell me what Talladega Knights is

219
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.159
is using exactly five words.

220
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.519
So, h Dirk, I'm gonna I'm.

221
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.399
Gonna put you, uh, put you on the up for

222
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.039
grabs first and tell us, Dirk, what is Talladega nights

223
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.120
in five exact.

224
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.240
Words, overconfident driver learns humility kind of.

225
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.480
I like that. I like that, all right, Matt, what

226
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:23.039
do you got?

227
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:28.720
Mine is a bit more poignant, to the point speed

228
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.000
redemption and pissing. Excellent.

229
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:35.080
Oh that's good, that's good. Drop it, drop it.

230
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.320
A little bit of the dialogue from the film, I went,

231
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:39.720
I'm very on the nose of mine.

232
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.759
I got I got one for you guys. How about

233
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:47.879
Days of Thunder but hilarious exactly.

234
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.240
Yes, indeed, Days of Thunder is coming up later too.

235
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:53.159
Yeah, are you are you guys? Go in a cover

236
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:53.799
Days of Thunder?

237
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.720
No, I've got some I've got some Days of Thunder

238
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.080
crossover with this.

239
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:02.000
Oh okay, perfect, okay, all right, perfect, all right.

240
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.440
Well let's uh, let's take.

241
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.279
A quick break, and when we get back, we're gonna

242
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:08.559
talk about some of our some of the cast members

243
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:10.080
that we absolutely love in this movie.

244
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:11.159
We're gonna do a little.

245
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.320
Bit of background on the film, and uh, we'll be

246
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:15.039
back with Accidental Legends.

247
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:22.720
Welcome back. I am here with Matt and Dirk of

248
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.480
the Accidental Legends podcast.

249
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.879
We are talking about Adam McKay's two thousand and six

250
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:29.879
NASCAR comedy.

251
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:33.000
Ricky Bobby the Ballot, Ricky Bobby Talladegad Knights, none an

252
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:38.360
other Will Ferrell. So he is, He's Ricky Bobby Our

253
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:39.240
He's our hero, right.

254
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.399
He's driving the twenty six car, the Laughing Clown Malt

255
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:44.320
Liquor car, which what a sponsor.

256
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:46.480
We've seen. At this point.

257
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.240
He has dominated Saturday Live. He's he's made the break

258
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:53.440
in the movies. Tell me, like, walk me through your

259
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:57.519
guys's feelings about Will Ferrell, whether it's Will Farrell in general,

260
00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.840
like his kind of comedy or or what he's doing

261
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.960
this movie, Matt Let's uh, let's let's let's start with you.

262
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:08.120
So my feeling on Will Ferrell, I think his some

263
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.200
of his best work is a body double as Chad

264
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:14.840
Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Personally, that's my

265
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.799
personal opinion. Again, I love me some Will Ferrell. I

266
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.519
think probably my favorite Will Ferrell movie is The Wedding Crashers,

267
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.639
that role that he plays as. Yeah, it's just a

268
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.759
it's just a little cameo, but he's asking for me.

269
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.399
But that's uh, that's one of my favorites.

270
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.840
When you when you when you're this mythical, this this

271
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.519
legend right that that has seen a million faces and

272
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.399
rock them all. And you come down the steps and

273
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:53.919
it's Will Ferrell with some nunchucks screaming as mom for Meatlow.

274
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:55.320
If you're like, we just.

275
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.600
Went to a whole other level and this is awesome. Yeah,

276
00:14:58.639 --> 00:14:59.399
what what about it?

277
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:00.600
Derek Will Ferrell?

278
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.120
You know, for me, I started him watching him on

279
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.919
S and L and he was kind of the next

280
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.080
generation of what you know, the handing of the torch

281
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.960
at that time. So at first it.

282
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:11.799
Was an acquired taste.

283
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.639
I wasn't quite sure I understood, but you know, once

284
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:16.919
he kind of did the cheerleaders and then you know,

285
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.360
the duet with I think it was Kristin wigg They

286
00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:23.279
used to No, No, No, was Ella Gastire, Yeah, and

287
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.480
they would do the singers, and then I started thinking

288
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.720
that was pretty hilarious. Old School was really what turned

289
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:33.399
it around for me. Loved Old School. And probably my

290
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.200
favorite movie with him is It's kind of traditional, but

291
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.120
I like Elf. Everybody in my family has that traditional

292
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.480
movie for Christmas, so we just watched that a lot.

293
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:47.679
I've got a complicated relationship with Elf because it's a classic.

294
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:52.519
It's a fun Christmas movie, but we as with the conment.

295
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:54.360
You know, we like to go to these conventions and

296
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.840
you know, we like the rubbed shoulders, elbows with the

297
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.120
some celebrities, you know, get some sound bites here and there,

298
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:00.360
and just go through fun.

299
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:02.320
Oh thank you, thank you. Matt Uh.

300
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.799
This guy we we actually we got kind of lot

301
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.919
like lumped in with a bunch of other media guests.

302
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.240
This guy is in full cosplay as.

303
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:15.720
Buddy the Elf.

304
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:17.759
And at first I was like, oh, that's.

305
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.320
Fun, but then he he was Buddy the Elf. So

306
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:27.159
he's screaming and he's just being obnoxious. I'm sorry, I mean,

307
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.279
I mean, but you know what, he was making it

308
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.559
work because he was getting people's attention and they were.

309
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.159
Like, ah, Buddy, you know what's your favorite color? You know.

310
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.440
So but ever since that day, and it's just because

311
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:39.440
I had a lot of Buddy the.

312
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:42.919
Elf for like six hours straight, and I'm just like,

313
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:44.799
I'm this become Christmas time.

314
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:46.320
I'm probably skipping it for a.

315
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.799
Year or four, I don't know, but that's fair.

316
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:50.399
Yeah.

317
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.879
Yeah, but listen for putting up as long as you did.

318
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.960
And you know, listen, shout out to that guy because

319
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.279
he was having a great time and that's what those conventions.

320
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:02.240
Are all about. And people were eating up what he

321
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.720
was doing. So he you know, well, I may have

322
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:06.759
been like, dude, dial it back a little bit.

323
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.000
He was, he was, he was, he was living it up.

324
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.880
So I committed for that, Jeff.

325
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:14.880
It's one thing we can say about the Crazies. At

326
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:15.759
least they're committed.

327
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:20.960
Yes, Derek, they are definitely committed, uh speaker committed. John

328
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.279

329
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.480

331
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.160
what he can do with Will Ferrell. You know, they've

332
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.000
done well. I think they've done three movies together now.

333
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.039
I think cal Naughton Junior is my favorite of of

334
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:40.920
the Will Ferrell movies.

335
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:42.559
You know, what, what do you guys think?

336
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:45.480
Like, what, what how do you feel about mister uh,

337
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:46.759
mister old spice himself.

338
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.519
I'm gonna let you go on this one, Okay.

339
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.279
John c Riley's He's got to be one of my

340
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.079
favorite character type actors. I mean from Boogie Knights all

341
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.039
the way to something like Talladega Knights. He can do

342
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:05.680
everything serious, drama, ridiculous, comedy. I really liked him in

343
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:10.680
the Oh he did a spoof on Johnny Cash.

344
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.799
You know what I'm talking about, Uh, Dewey Dewey Cox.

345
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:15.759
I think dew Cox.

346
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:18.359
Yes, I hadn't seen that one. That's a pretty good

347
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.119
one too, That's pretty funny. He's just hilarious.

348
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:25.519
The thing you know before, Matt, I want to I

349
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.519
want to hear from you. But the thing think about Riley,

350
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.160
I think he's amazing when he's a dramatic actor and

351
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:33.519
I know he's he's we're laughing at him in Boogie Knights,

352
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.119
But I think about him in like something like what

353
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.279
Meryl Streep's the River Wilde where he's playing secondhand to

354
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.599
Kevin Bacon. Or if you guys have ever seen a

355
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:47.359
film called Casualties of War with Sean Penn and Michael J.

356
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:48.799
Fox a long time ago.

357
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.559
Yeah, Yeah, he's that's a that's a young John c Riley.

358
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:54.799
But he's he's he's a damn he's a damn good actor.

359
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:56.839
I'll give him that, Matt. What do you what do

360
00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:58.079
you think about Riley?

361
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:03.000
So I was telling a little earlier, the bane of

362
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:08.039
my existence is awkward comedy. Yeah, But John c Riley

363
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.359
is one of the or Adam c Riley is one

364
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:14.480
of the few guys that I can take it from.

365
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:19.400
So he just but he just kind of looks the part. Now.

366
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.160
Steve Carell is the other guy that I just kind

367
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.279
of take it from and enjoy it from. But I

368
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.079
I agree with you on the serious because I am

369
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.519
a fan of Winning Time. Okay, he's really really good

370
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.519
in that as Jerry Buss. He's excellent in that.

371
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.559
I uh, I think one of the things that he

372
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:46.279
does well is this is an absurd comedy, but he

373
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.119
is so committed to playing it straight.

374
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.440
It makes him hilarious.

375
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:54.440
It's you know, I think about like when he's later

376
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.160
in the movie when they've had their falling out and

377
00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.839
he's just calling him and you know, he's just just like, hey,

378
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.039
you walk come over and played gi I Joe's which

379
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:03.160
how about which?

380
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:04.000
Which car you miss?

381
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:05.799
I'll pick you up in the car you miss the most,

382
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:07.920
you know, after he stole it his life basically and his.

383
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:10.240
Wife and he said, oh, come on man, that was

384
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:11.240
that was a week ago.

385
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.160
You know, you know, it's just he's he's hilarious. I

386
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:16.119
love what John c Railey is doing in this movie.

387
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:19.079
I'm gonna be I'm gonna be honest, like for me,

388
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.400
another amazing comedian.

389
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:24.039
Uh, most people would have that opinion. I don't know

390
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:25.480
that I do. Uh.

391
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:31.359
Sasha Baron Cohen as a Jean Gerard. Admittedly I'm not

392
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:32.920
a fan of Sasha Baron Cohen.

393
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:38.200
Uh the Borat stuff, Yeah, the Borat Ali g and

394
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:45.240
the the who is the fashion uh Hugo or something

395
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:47.960
like that. I can't remember what he was called. It's

396
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.599
not my thing. But he is amazing in this movie.

397
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:53.160
And he's hilarious in this movie.

398
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:54.720
And I don't know what it is about this role,

399
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:58.519
but him playing the main antagonist and just how he

400
00:20:58.599 --> 00:20:59.720
challenges Ricky Bobby.

401
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:02.519
I think it's hilarious, absolutely hilarious.

402
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:02.720
What do you?

403
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.799
What do you guys? Is is this like the the

404
00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:07.519
adversary we needed for a movie like this.

405
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.920
I like the way that you talk about, uh playing

406
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.519
it straight, because this guy plays it straight as well.

407
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.160
He's just kind of within himself. He's within his character

408
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:23.559
and it's just funny because it's so serious and it's

409
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:28.279
so outlandish, and I I can appreciate those things.

410
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:32.200
The Matthew irony of you saying that he's playing it straight.

411
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.319
Uh is is not lost on me since he his

412
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:42.279
character is an openly gay French formula uh driver Vicky

413
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:47.119
did Yeah, you got about full of peanutburgser sir, Uh, Derek,

414
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.359
your your thoughts on Sasha Baron cohen A you have

415
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:49.799
you have you?

416
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:52.279
Were you always a fan? Or did this movie change

417
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:52.680
your mind?

418
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.799
Or I'm gonna well, first of all, I'm gonna put

419
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.240
him in sort of the the Riley kind of category.

420
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:01.880
I don't know if you've ever seen. There's an Apple

421
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:07.160
TV show called Disclaimer, and it's very dramatic. It's a thriller,

422
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.240
and he plays sort of this tortured husband having to

423
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:13.079
deal with you know, the storyline plot.

424
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:13.880
I don't want to give any.

425
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:16.319
Of it away, but it's very serious. It's very grounded.

426
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:20.400
So yet again, he's another guy that can play over

427
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.559
the top characters but also be very grounded in drama.

428
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:26.720
I was not much of a fan. I think before

429
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:32.640
even Borat you had DOLLI G show on HBO or

430
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.160
something like that. I never really got any of that.

431
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:39.720
But I think he's a great villain in this. I

432
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:42.759
think he's he's kind of he plays the camp correctly

433
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:47.400
because he is living the character in this universe thinking

434
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:50.799
that this universe is normal, and I think that's hilarious.

435
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:52.160
Yeah.

436
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:56.000
Absolutely, I'm gonna ask you guys, because listen, we would

437
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.799
need like a mini series to cover everyone that's in

438
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:02.480
this movie. So there's there's one person I definitely want

439
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.240
to mention, uh before we move on to doing a

440
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:08.119
little bit of background on this one. But I want

441
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:11.039
to kick it to you guys first. If there's one

442
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:13.119
person we haven't talked, we're not talking about yet that

443
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:14.720
you're like, we gotta we gotta call.

444
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:16.880
This actor or this actress out. Who is it?

445
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:18.720
I want to take a guess at which one your

446
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:20.799
pick is? Is it Gary Cole?

447
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:22.559
Oh, It's definitely Gary Cole.

448
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.720
That was gonna be mine. Okay, Okay, He's one of

449
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.519
my favorites and everything.

450
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:29.759
So yeah, matter you were you going Gary Cole? Or

451
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:31.400
did you have someone else that you wanted to call out?

452
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:35.279
So if we're calling out so my my two favorite

453
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:39.400
actors in this movie besides the obvious ones that we've

454
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:44.480
been discussing, would be Amy Adams and I love Molly

455
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.640
Shannon in this and she she does what she always does.

456
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.119
She takes a little bitty tiny part and she makes

457
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:53.559
it larger than live. And that's what I love about

458
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.279
Molly Shannon. You know, she might as well just kind

459
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.319
of be, you know, sniffing her armpits and her finger. Yeah,

460
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.400
and so yeah, those would be my callbacks, huh.

461
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.079
Her her role is so minimal but so memorable.

462
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:10.000
And it's not even so much her, it's just what

463
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.160
I what I would assume is an ad lib on

464
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:14.599
set that day when when we first meet her, and

465
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:16.519
you know, Ricky Bob was like, all right, what I'll

466
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:18.119
tell you what you you and your wife, missus Jim

467
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:20.519
Beam you said on out and.

468
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:23.480
I'll do what I do. But yeah, Shannon's hilarious.

469
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:28.960
Amy Adams absolutely adorable in this in this movie, and

470
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:32.799
you gotta remember this is this is maybe maybe this

471
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:33.960
is the movie that kind of put her on the

472
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:36.079
map a little bit because she had done some television.

473
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:38.640
I remember she had like a three three episode arc

474
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:43.200
on the Office playing like Jim's girlfriend, you know, like

475
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.039
a girl he started dating. I know she had done

476
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:47.880
one or two small movie like you know, small roles

477
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:50.640
in some some decent movies. But I mean it's after

478
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:54.119
this where you know, Amy Adams is Amy Adams.

479
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:58.720
Right, so well, oh I'm sorry, go ahead, Oh please please?

480
00:24:58.759 --> 00:24:59.759
No, no, no, no, no.

481
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:02.440
Well no, it was it was this movie that was

482
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:06.880
right after June Bug and June Bug that was released

483
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:08.960
in two thousand and five. This was released obviously in

484
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:13.400
two thousand and six June Bug. She got nominated for

485
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:18.519
the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. So while she was

486
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:21.799
filming this and while June Bug was out, she was

487
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:25.279
still kind of just you know, in the background. But

488
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:29.000
then after these two movies, after she got nominated for

489
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.440
the Oscar, then she started picking up, you know, she

490
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:34.519
picks up you know, more lead roles.

491
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:36.920
Yeah, well, I think like Amy Adams. I think like

492
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:39.400
movie star Amy Adams.

493
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:40.599
I think of I.

494
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:43.240
Think a movie is obviously you know Superman where she's

495
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:48.079
playing Lewis Lane. You can't not see that one. What's

496
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:50.319
she does The Fighter with Mark Wahlberg, where I think

497
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:54.599
she's amazing, you know, American Hustle with Christian Bale. So

498
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:58.240
she's she's becoming a she's a big star. Obviously she's

499
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:00.519
a big star now. But I kind of look back,

500
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.599
like even watch watching this recently doing a rewatch, I

501
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:06.400
was like, holy shit, that's Amy Adams. I forgot that

502
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.880
she was in it because she's her character is such

503
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.920
a small role, but hilarious.

504
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:14.079
You know, Leslie Bib, Jane Lynch.

505
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.599
There's a lot of hilarious women in this movie. We

506
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.240
talked Molly Shannon. But back to our guy, Gary Cole,

507
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:27.200
who's playing Reese Bobby Ricky's dad. This might be one

508
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.680
of the greatest intros for a character when he kind

509
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:32.359
of dips into career day.

510
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:34.400
You know, hasn't seen his son in ten years. Say, boy,

511
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:36.440
you've grown. What's it been three or four months? I'm

512
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:37.000
ten years old.

513
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:41.079
Dad smoking a cigarette so you can't smoke it here.

514
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.640
It's okay, darling, I'm a volunteer firefighter.

515
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:46.799
Dude crushes this role.

516
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:49.880
I mean, he's my favorite. He might be one of

517
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:52.400
my favorite parts of the whole movie. And this is

518
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.720
another guy hilarious when you look at something like what

519
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:01.119
office space where he's Lumberg can be very scary if

520
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:03.160
you've seen if you've seen a Sam Raimi movie called

521
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:06.640
A Simple Plan, which we covered gosh way back in.

522
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:08.200
Season one a long time ago.

523
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:10.039
Oh, I haven't seen that one at all.

524
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:11.720
He's a little he's a little scary he's a little

525
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:12.799
he's definitely intimidating.

526
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:18.319
Uh he kills you. Mike Brady, he does, Yeah, come on.

527
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.920
He is he he was Mike Brady. And then surprisingly enough,

528
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.400
even he does like a small role on Fraser where

529
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:28.680
he's playing like this lothario and when I see, like,

530
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:31.240
when I go back and I watch Fraser, I'm like Lumberg.

531
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:35.039
But then I'm like, the dude is suave, he's cool,

532
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:35.759
he's good looking.

533
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.920
You know, you believe that he's this lady's man on Fraser.

534
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:41.160
You know that Fraser wants to hang out with and

535
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:42.359
and be best friends with.

536
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:46.119
So the guy, I feel like, this guy can do anything.

537
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:48.880
He's very underrated. H I love him and everything.

538
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.839
But yeah, Reese, Bobby is one of the coolest characters

539
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:54.279
I've ever seen in a comedy.

540
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:56.200
It's just that's just where I'm at with him.

541
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.200
You think he was born with a half drunk can

542
00:27:59.200 --> 00:27:59.960
of beer in his hand.

543
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:03.599
Maybe, I think it's like that.

544
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:05.839
In every scene he's in, he's got a can of

545
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:06.400
beer in there.

546
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:11.319
Yeah, it's our mangy transient granddad, well said grandson.

547
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.240
Yeah, the dude is just you know, that's a that's

548
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:16.799
a that's a Cougar. I know it is.

549
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:18.359
I put it in the car, you know, like, yeah,

550
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.640
I believe, Like like Reese, Bobby hypes himself up so much,

551
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:25.079
but I believe everything that he's said or done.

552
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.759
I'm like, yeah, he could, he can do it.

553
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.400
You know that was going to be my my part

554
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:35.160
two of the five Words synopsis was Cougar's Redemption and.

555
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.799
Oh man, yeah, Gary Cole, dude, but this is gonna

556
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:43.079
be coming before it becomes a Gary Cole episode. We're

557
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:45.359
just we're gonna move on. I want to talk a

558
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:47.200
little bit of background. I got a couple of things

559
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:49.920
I want to share about this movie. And I have

560
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.839
to believe you guys. You guys, like I said, you're

561
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:54.640
the accidental legend. So I know you guys probably have

562
00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:58.400
a couple of cool things for for our listeners. So

563
00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:03.279
McKay and Ferrell they begin throwing ideas around for a

564
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:10.160
NASCAR comedy while Farrell's making Dirk's favorite movie Elf. After this,

565
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:12.920
one of their buddies, one of their producing buddies. There,

566
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:14.559
he says, let's let's go to a NASCAR race. I

567
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:16.640
want you to see what's up. They go to the race,

568
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:20.119
They love it. They write the script and they go

569
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:23.119
around town. They're visiting all the studios to pitch the idea.

570
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:28.920
And it's a simple six word pitch, which is Will

571
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:31.759
Ferrell as a NASCAR driver, and I want you to

572
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:37.559
think immediately, Yeah, a bidding war breaks out based on

573
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:40.960
those six words. Every studio is wanting it because the

574
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.440
guy is a hit machine, right, He's he's a proven

575
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:46.839
talent from Saturday Live. All of his movies are box

576
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:50.519
office gold at this point. So yeah, so they're you know,

577
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:54.160
six words, and they're like, yep, seventy five millions, that's

578
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:57.480
that's what we need. We'll do it, We'll do I

579
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:01.920
know they So, you know Nascar, you gotta have Nascar

580
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:06.359
in this. Outside of one week shooting at Talladega super

581
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:09.319
Speedway in Alabama, the entire film is shot in North

582
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:14.160
Carolina at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Rockingham Speedway. And if

583
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:16.000
you I don't know, are you guys Nascar fans?

584
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:16.559
My chance?

585
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:20.319
I wish I was after this movie, but now, yeah,

586
00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:21.519
I don't really follow it much.

587
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:24.440
So I grew up as an Earnhart fan, which made

588
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:26.400
me an Earnhardt junior fan, you know.

589
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:27.640
So I've always loved it.

590
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:31.200
But what I dig like, especially like when you do

591
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:33.240
like a sports movie and you get the cameos from

592
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:38.759
real life sports figures, athletes and such. Broadcasters and real

593
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:42.920
life NASCAR drivers are seen throughout this entire movie. Greats

594
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:44.319
like Daryl Waltrip.

595
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:44.799
Dal Larnhart Jr.

596
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:50.039
Tony Stewart, Casey Kine, Jimmy Johnson, I think Jeff Gordon's

597
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:51.680
in there. There's a there's a ton of I'm leaving,

598
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:54.200
I'm leaving a bunch of guys out. But I, for one,

599
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:58.000
like I love seeing that kind of stuff. But I'm

600
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:01.599
curious anything from the accident in legends, like what did

601
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:03.759
you guys dig up anything on this on this movie.

602
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.720
I found this one factoid actually just today when I

603
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:08.880
was kind of fine tuning and going back on this.

604
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:15.319
The Wonderbread deal. The sponsorship. Okay, so it's kind of interesting.

605
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:19.759
The Wonderbread sponsorship. It was a handshake deal. They wanted

606
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:23.359
it because the company was actually bankrupt at the time,

607
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:27.200
so this allowed them to participate with minimal formal constraints

608
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:29.480
any of that kind of stuff, and give them advertising.

609
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.319
So just just kind of one of those perfect moment situations.

610
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:37.359
We need you as much as you need us basically, yeah,

611
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:39.200
so there you have it.

612
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:40.119
That's there you go.

613
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:41.400
Right.

614
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:46.119
So what I found on this was Earnhardt Junior was

615
00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:50.559
the slam dunk because when the Days of Thunder folks

616
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:56.039
showed up to see his dad Senior, Yep, he was

617
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:59.759
fifteen or sixteen years old, and they wanted him to

618
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:07.319
be what's the guy's name, Oh, don't ask me, Rowdy Burns.

619
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:08.480
I'm sorry, Rowdy Burns.

620
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:10.359
Okay, oh yeah yeah, yeah.

621
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:15.000
So they they fashioned Rowdy Burns after Dale Earnhardt Sr.

622
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:20.440
Absolutely and Earnhardt said, no, I don't want to do it.

623
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.559
I don't want to be the bad guy. So he

624
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:26.480
he consulted on it on Days and ann but he

625
00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:30.359
didn't actually do it. So they show up for Talladega

626
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.519
Nights to Junior and Junior's like, yes, right now, I'm

627
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.119
in take me take me to where it is? And

628
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.759
I think it literally happened within a day or two

629
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:42.240
of them talking. He was like, where do I show up?

630
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:44.799
And he goes, and he shows up and he goes

631
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:45.160
for it.

632
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:45.839
Yeah.

633
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.640
Well and it's a it's a fun little cameo because

634
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:50.480
he's there to get Ricky's autograph. Like after Ricky breaks

635
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:51.839
out and has it, you know, starts to getting the career.

636
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:55.079
He's like, oh, Dale, He's like, yeah, man, just I

637
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:56.480
just want to I'm a big fan. But don't don't

638
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:58.720
don't tell you, buddy. You know he's in and out.

639
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.680
You know, I love it, Matt, you're talking Days of Thunder.

640
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:02.960
Uh.

641
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:05.799
You know, Adam McKay knew this movie does not work

642
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:10.480
without NASCAR's full embrace and and you know, an acceptance

643
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:13.400
and endorsement of it. Yes, a lot of NASCAR guys

644
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.480
were hesitant because they they didn't like what.

645
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:17.599
They saw with Days of Thunder.

646
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:21.519
You know, Yes, there's only there's maybe a handful of

647
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:24.480
cameos in that one. And listen, Days of Thunder kicks ass.

648
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:25.359
I love Days of Thunder.

649
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:29.559
And to your point, anyone that watches that knows we're

650
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:32.200
watching a movie about Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt.

651
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:35.039
That's that's what Days of Thunder is truthfully.

652
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:39.880
Right, Well, and it was panned for lack of authenticity

653
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:43.519
and for it being over the top on drama and emotion,

654
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:48.119
but yeah, you know, and strategy kind.

655
00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:49.920
Of yeah, I think it's one of the situations though,

656
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.039
because obviously it's gonna paint a little bit of a

657
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:54.400
negative look at NASCAR.

658
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:56.880
And you know, and I'm paraphrasing here.

659
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:58.359
I don't have the I don't have the exact quote,

660
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:02.000
but but Adam McKay and they're like, they're talking about

661
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:04.039
what this movie needs to be and they said, hey,

662
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:08.639
it's important to us that NASCAR understands. We don't want

663
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:11.599
to make fun of Nascar. We want to have fun

664
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:12.639
with Nascar.

665
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:15.119
And I gotta be honest.

666
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:18.639
Like, yeah, the movie is hilarious, But the the scenes

667
00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:24.000
on the track, the action in general, it is damn good.

668
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:24.679
It is.

669
00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:28.119
It's it's right up there in some scenes, in some

670
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:30.400
scenes maybe better than what you see in Days of Thunder.

671
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:32.559
I mean, they did not hold back. They're on the

672
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:35.239
real tracks. I know that.

673
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:40.159
Uh, Farrell and Riley had you know, McKay said, you're

674
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:42.639
you're going to uh what I think it is?

675
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:43.199
Is it?

676
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:44.960
Is it Jared or Waltrip one of one of the

677
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:46.239
one of the racing schools.

678
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:49.719
It was the Richard Petty Richard experience.

679
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:51.880
Yeah, that's what Thank you, Derek, That's what it was.

680
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:55.559
And Farrell has many times said, I was terrified being

681
00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:58.480
in that car. You have to be, you're going two

682
00:34:58.519 --> 00:34:59.719
hundred miles an hour And now I know they're not

683
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:02.079
going to hundred miles an hour, but you know, I

684
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:03.599
mean think about like when you get on the highway

685
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:06.039
and you're like, oh, I'm cruise, it's ninety, I'm ninety

686
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:07.880
miles an hour, I'm cruising, I'm rolling.

687
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.800
Yeah, but then that's ninety.

688
00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:14.920
Imagine something roaring right past you at two fifteen to

689
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:17.800
twenty like that that his scene when he comes back

690
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:19.280
after his rehab and he's just like.

691
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:20.480
What was that?

692
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:22.920
You know, like, how fast is it going.

693
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:28.159
Twenty six miles an hour? Just like it's gotta be scary.

694
00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:32.639
Yeah. NASCAR even was consulting on jokes for that.

695
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:32.920
Yeah.

696
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:35.679
So they would hear a joke and they'd say, hey,

697
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:42.360
here's a here's a better kind of idea, and McKay

698
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:45.000
kind of groused that they can drive one hundred and

699
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.760
fifty two hundred miles an hour and make better jokes.

700
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:51.599
So an example of this would be the Applebe's cut

701
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:58.000
away in the final scene where a Gerard and Bobby

702
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:01.480
were crashing and they do this Applebee's break.

703
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:02.599
Yeah.

704
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:05.719
And so the problem was that the fans were always

705
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.639
complaining that TV broadcast would cut out the commercials, like

706
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:12.559
right in this middle of this huge dramatic, exciting moment.

707
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:17.760
Yes, yeah, it's a I mean, I listen, I've watched

708
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:21.400
plenty of Talladega races Daytona and like something.

709
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:24.639
Yeah, you're right, like something majors happened. We'll be right back.

710
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:26.920
It's like, no, what are you doing?

711
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:27.559
Hold on?

712
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:31.239
Hold on? You know who's producing this segment? Like keep it,

713
00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:31.960
keep us here.

714
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:35.400
Uh, I know, we got to take another break, but uh,

715
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:37.880
before we do, can we just spend a little bit

716
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:42.800
of time talking about the music of this movie, because again,

717
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:47.679
if the racing scenes, the action on the track admittedly

718
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:51.280
should not look this damn good. A movie like this

719
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:55.440
should not have a soundtrack like this. It's banger after banger?

720
00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:56.320
Am I am? I wrong?

721
00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.239
No, you're You're not wrong at all. In fact, later on,

722
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:03.199
as we're talking about you know you, you said you

723
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:07.559
wanted to talk about the scenes, and that was going

724
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:10.800
to be basically the the crux of what I was

725
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:15.400
talking about was how they strung the music together. Okay,

726
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:18.719
and the selections that they made just in that final

727
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:19.960
scene were just amazing.

728
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:24.239
All right, Well, I'll pin that for a minute then

729
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.239
until we get back. But Dirk it any quick thoughts

730
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:28.519
you wanna you wanna, you want to say it?

731
00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:30.199
Well, we'll just talk about it all in general. What

732
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:30.599
do you think?

733
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:31.559
Well?

734
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:34.440
On our show Accident Legends, Matt usually takes the reins

735
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.519
of the music. I'm more the movie guys, so I

736
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:39.280
don't really have much to say on the music. I

737
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:41.119
can't even really think of any songs. I was too

738
00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:44.679
busy trying to activate the stereo volume while I was

739
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:46.920
watching the TV because I liked to party, and I

740
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:49.960
just I lost my focus. So I'm gonna leave it

741
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:50.639
to Matt.

742
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:53.079
Okay, all right, I will tell you what.

743
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:59.239
Yeah, so there is supposedly now, I went back and

744
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:02.519
looked for it specifically because all of the clips that

745
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:05.239
I found for were a minute twenty one a minute

746
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:09.119
twenty two. There is a song called Goodbye Cowboy is

747
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:16.559
supposed to be with the career day scene. Okay, but

748
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:22.280
it's written and performed by not by a Hollywood composer,

749
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.519
but by Roy Lee Farrell.

750
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:29.159
Yeah, okay, Will's dad. Will's dad Okay.

751
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:34.480
So, who actually was a longtime musician and keyboard keyboardist

752
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:35.920
for The Righteous.

753
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:40.039
Brothers see this is why you guys, I got to

754
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:42.320
I had to have the Accident of Legends podcast.

755
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:44.960
Guys. I had to invite you guys over.

756
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:47.599
For an episode because I was like, you know, let's

757
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:50.199
have some fun with Talladega Knights. There's no chance I'm

758
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:54.239
ever connecting Talladega Knights and the Righteous Brothers together.

759
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:55.440
So it's there.

760
00:38:55.639 --> 00:38:57.000
It's there, just awesome.

761
00:38:57.360 --> 00:38:58.960
I told you Matt would bring it. For the music,

762
00:38:59.239 --> 00:38:59.880
He's gonna.

763
00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:02.519
Bring right well, listen, we uh will continue to bring it.

764
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:05.400
We're gonna take another quick break and when we get back,

765
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:08.159
we're going to talk about the music, probably a little

766
00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:11.199
bit more, and we're definitely gonna talk about the scene.

767
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:16.559
We'll see it when we get back, all right.

768
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:19.800
So I know, we we got to get to a

769
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:21.400
couple of scene or two that we want to share,

770
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:22.880
we want to talk about, but before we do, I

771
00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:25.679
just want to talk more about the music, because again,

772
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:27.320
like I said, the soundtrack should.

773
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:32.000
Not be this good for an absurd comedy like this.

774
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:35.920
But right when we hit the racetrack first time and

775
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:39.599
you've got sound gardens coaches, I'm in, I'm like, okay,

776
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:40.719
what are we doing here?

777
00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:45.119
You know, and it just It's banger after banger from

778
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:45.519
there on.

779
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:49.679
Matt tell you know you're you are the music behind

780
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:53.239
the Accidental Legends podcast. As Derek was telling us, walk

781
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:56.360
me through this soundtrack, what you know what stands out

782
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:56.559
to you?

783
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.360
So the thing that just kept hitting me over over

784
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:02.719
and over again, and it really came home in that

785
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:06.760
final was this is freaking racing.

786
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:08.039
It is.

787
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:12.440
It is a small encapsulation of Motley Cruz kickstart my heart,

788
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:17.320
I mean, go fast, Let's play all the rock and roll,

789
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:22.239
let's play all the bangers. And that's exactly what they did.

790
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:25.840
I mean it. It is nuts to me all of

791
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.880
the good songs that they collaborated and they pulled into

792
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:34.440
this movie and I couldn't find it. But I think

793
00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:39.519
they may have even done some special recording with some

794
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:42.280
of the some of it just the instrumental parts, and

795
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:46.039
I'll talk about that, but I couldn't find anybody to

796
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:50.800
confirm or deny that. But I think it's got to

797
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.480
be true. I think they've got They had to have

798
00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:57.360
had maybe had these bands in and say hey, record

799
00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:02.639
this part in or or take the vocals out. Yeah,

800
00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:05.039
and just give us some just give us some music

801
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:07.239
that can kind of be a music bed. There were

802
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:08.960
two specific songs that were that way.

803
00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:11.639
Give it Lammy, Okay.

804
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:15.480
So in the in the final scene, they've got a

805
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:21.320
song called Shipwrecked Sailor by four hundred Blows, and then

806
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:28.079
they've got another another song called Desperate Cry by Sepultura.

807
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:31.159
I don't know if I'm saying that right, Suppultor. Yep.

808
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:33.719
If you listen to the Accidental Legends, you know that

809
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:39.960
one of my calling cards is mispronouncing things. So those

810
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:46.360
two specifically were instrumental. And as I listened to those songs,

811
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:49.400
as I went back, I had to find them. And

812
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:51.480
it's one of the great things about renting this on

813
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:57.599
Prime is you can find the uh, the the commentary

814
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:00.440
and figure out what's playing because it'll actually tell you

815
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:03.519
the song that's playing when they do it. And I

816
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:07.280
really had to dig for that Shipwrecked Sailor. But they

817
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:11.920
had just these these great instrumental parts that I'm pretty

818
00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:15.440
sure aren't in the songs at least by themselves.

819
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:20.159
Okay, Matt, I'll tell you something. I know.

820
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:23.559
We bonded at Shirley Fest over over Bourbon, and you know,

821
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:28.679
being bearded and shaved heads and ball caps. Thank you,

822
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:31.000
but I'll tell you something else we have in common.

823
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:35.239
It's the mispronunciation of things. So if we're if we're

824
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:38.360
talking to like this show a film by if there's

825
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:43.039
anything French, amber Lewis, the voice of reason herself, is

826
00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:45.800
going to I'm gonna need her to correct me. And

827
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:48.000
you know, because she's she might as well teach French

828
00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:51.400
as far as I'm concerned. But and then I'm finding

829
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:54.840
out I'm quickly finding out that on our YouTube show

830
00:42:55.320 --> 00:43:00.519
previously on where we cover television shows, Garrett Gibson, our

831
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:04.239
good buddy, Garrett Gibson is quickly uh being the one

832
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.679
to correct me on all the things I'm mispronouncing there,

833
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:13.079
which memorably we're talking about a small town in Canada, uh,

834
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:18.639
which I read as Saskatoon. Guess what He's just not,

835
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:21.280
hey man, I think the people of Saskatchewan are really

836
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:26.119
getting pissed by. I was, like, I wrote it down

837
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:29.199
and you know, so, Matt, I told, I'm with you,

838
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:32.280
But can we all agree, Derek, I mean, we're all

839
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:38.079
gen X Motley Cruz. Kickstart My Heart is the track right,

840
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:42.119
It's it had to be this movie absolutely? Oh yeah,

841
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:44.599
And I'm not lost on like there's some really fun

842
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:48.960
stuff here, like the stones painted black being covered that

843
00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:52.679
that that French version of it, I really dig I'm

844
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:55.719
loving that one too. But yeah, a lot of great

845
00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:58.039
music in this, a lot of great scenes, and we

846
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.199
got to talk about scenes. So guys, I'm want to

847
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:03.639
ask you, uh, and Derek, We're gonna start with you.

848
00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:06.079
Let's talk about a scene that you want to call

849
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:08.880
out and listen, tell me why are we talking about

850
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:09.199
this scene?

851
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:09.800
Is it?

852
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:12.920
Is it for a great performance? Is it for the direction?

853
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:16.920
Is it for the cinematography? Is it something that you

854
00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:18.679
think Amber Lewis would have been pissed off about? You

855
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:20.960
let me know, Like, what do you think? What's the

856
00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:21.760
scene you want to talk about?

857
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:22.119
Derek?

858
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:26.400
Okay, well, the scene I've chosen. I'm gonna let me

859
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:29.639
do a little backstory because the scene I've chosen is

860
00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:33.800
for nostalgic reasons. Uh okay, it just makes me smile.

861
00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:37.400
So a little background about Matt and I. We've actually

862
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:40.440
known each other since well I was in second grade,

863
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:43.679
so we were kids on the block. So when we

864
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:46.000
say in our intro of our show, we're just riding

865
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:48.440
our bikes on the clas Yeah, that's literally what we

866
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:51.039
would do, and we would talk about what we saw

867
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:54.440
on HBO. And did you see that MTV video we

868
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:54.800
did that?

869
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:58.639
You guys are Calnughton Junior and Ricky Bobby like that

870
00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:00.599
elementary school friends?

871
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:01.199
This is all Yeah.

872
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:03.519
I always thought that was like, that's a clever opening

873
00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:06.440
to their their show. But I dig the fact that

874
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:07.559
that's that's real.

875
00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:10.320
That makes somese. That's that's all the more better, Derek. Okay, sorry,

876
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:11.239
didn't mean to interrupt you.

877
00:45:11.239 --> 00:45:14.239
Please, And and and so yeah, we've we've kind of

878
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:18.119
you know, lived experienced life together and all of that.

879
00:45:18.239 --> 00:45:20.199
So the scene I've got it's kind of two scenes,

880
00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:23.039
but it's basically the same scene. Okay, it's it's after

881
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:26.679
Cal's taking the wife moved into the house, but he

882
00:45:26.760 --> 00:45:30.800
keeps calling, he keeps calling Ricky, Hey man, how's it going? Oh?

883
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:31.280
Going pretty?

884
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:31.480
Hey?

885
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:34.079
Wait a minute, I remember I don't like you.

886
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:36.079
I hate you?

887
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:38.239
No, man, come on, that was that was the other day. Hey,

888
00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:40.920
there's a Bennegan's Got All you Can Eat not shows?

889
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:42.920
Hey man, that sounds pretty good. And I was just

890
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:44.880
telling Mat before we got out of here. I love

891
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:49.559
Cal thinks he's being nice. Yeah, and he says things

892
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:52.719
that are completely inappropriate. He says, come on, man, I'll

893
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:55.000
pick you up. What what what's your favorite carguing miss

894
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:56.960
and I'll pick you up in it. It's like pour

895
00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:57.880
some salt in it.

896
00:45:58.000 --> 00:45:58.280
Much.

897
00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:01.800
But what does Ricky Bobby do? He goes, He goes, Oh,

898
00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:04.960
pick me up in the hummer. That'd be great. Wait

899
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:08.559
a minute, but at the end of both those conversations,

900
00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:11.320
it's remember, I hate you. Okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Yeah,

901
00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:12.800
I'll talk to you tomorrow. Okay, bye.

902
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:13.559
Yes.

903
00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:16.320
So when Matt, when Matt and I were kids in

904
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:19.360
elementary school and maybe even middle school, you know, we'd

905
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:21.320
be playing a lot together. We'd have sleepovers or whatever,

906
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:24.360
and as with any friend, you just get a little

907
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:26.599
too much of each other. This is too much time,

908
00:46:26.719 --> 00:46:29.360
and we'd start fighting in our again, and and one

909
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:31.119
of us invariably would say, well, I'm just gonna pick

910
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:34.079
up my toys and I'm going okay, fine, get out

911
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:35.559
of here. See tomorrow.

912
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:42.119
Yeah, Ricky, your marriage is a sham.

913
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:45.840
It's over. We're getting married. I want you to be

914
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:48.000
my best man. What makes you think I do that?

915
00:46:48.159 --> 00:46:50.960
Come on, man, that's not how it works.

916
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:51.920
That's how it works.

917
00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:55.440
Don't call like he's calling him to find out how

918
00:46:55.480 --> 00:46:57.760

919
00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:00.360

00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:01.480

00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:03.320
Don't let's don't be pressing the buttons.

922
00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:05.039
Don't be pressing the buttons. Yeah.

923
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:09.719
I gotta live in this house, this big old house

924
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:12.119
with all your stuff by myself, and you get to

925
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:14.199

926
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:14.840
pretty awesome.

927
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:18.679
That's awesome. It's not it's not all Yeah.

928
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:23.480
Yeah, they they nail that that best friend vibe truly,

929

00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:29.000
your best friend from time to time, and but at

931
00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:30.559

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.119
Yeah, Matt, Uh tell me about a scene.

00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:41.639
Okay, So I have a confession first. Can I give

Rather forgive me or I have I have sinned? Oh boy,

940
00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:52.159
it's been uh well, it's been a long time since

941
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:56.159
my last confession. I am not a huge fan of

942
00:47:56.320 --> 00:47:57.920
Saturday in ACoM I'm.

943
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:01.559
Just okay, before we go, word because I want to.

944
00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:01.840
I want to.

945
00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:03.320
I want to. I want to. I want to. You're

946
00:48:03.360 --> 00:48:04.559
you're on the edge. I want to. I want to

947
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:06.559
make sure I grab you and save you, hold you in.

948
00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:07.280
Yeah, help me.

949
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:10.559
Are we talking like modern Saturday Live where you're not

950
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:12.679
a fan? Or is it like the eighties, the nineties

951
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:15.440
or the seventies, Like what are you just not a

952
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:17.480
fan in general of any of it?

953
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:20.880
Or is it just like they lost its way anything

954
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:27.559
that lays its foundation on awkward humor. Okay, I'm just

955
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.480
in physical humor. I'm just This's why I didn't.

956
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:33.159
Like spies like this, Okay, in that Soul you were

957
00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:34.639
not kind of spies like us.

958
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:37.400
Matt Soul died back in seventy seven, so you have

959
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:38.159
to understand that.

960
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:42.320
Yeah, okay, sorry, sorry to interrupted bad.

961
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:42.800
Please.

962
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:48.960
That is my confession. So this movie, I enjoy recapping

963
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.760
it with you guys more than I enjoyed actually watching

964
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:56.199
it for myself. Okay, So as I was kind of

965
00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:58.639
going through and writing it, this is this is what

966
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:03.320
I wrote the movie and the final race scene was

967
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:10.599
redeemed by the music selection. So anytime you start any

968
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:14.679
scene with click click boom. I mean, I mean you

969
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:15.000
got me.

970
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:19.920
Saliva is awesome, right, yeah, absolutely awesome and shout.

971
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:22.559
Out to the Fast and the Furious. In fact, I

972
00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:28.159
did a search on what other movies have used click

973
00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:31.880
click boom, because that was the first song. I was

974
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:36.280
a varsity pastor back in the day, and they said, pastor, Matt,

975
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:41.599
your music guy, make us a kick ass playlist, and

976
00:49:41.719 --> 00:49:45.400
click click boom was probably the first song in two

977
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:49.480
thousand and eight, and so it started with click click boom.

978
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:52.280
By the time it got to We Belong by Pat Benatar,

979
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:57.639
I was laughing out loud because watching Will's face, Ricky's

980
00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:02.719
face go, we're both craf. This race is not over.

981
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:06.159
You can see that on his face. And they start

982
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:09.519
running and they're playing we Belong, and I'm like, are

986
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:24.639

00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:22.000
song over anything I saw in Chariots of Fire or

1002
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:27.840
Prefontaine or any other movie about you know, Walter marathons or.

1003
00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:30.400
Racers or whatever. It's just too good.

1004
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:33.599
And you know, even the commentary is like, yeah, this

1005
00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:35.199
is highly I legal, none of this is gonna count.

1006
00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:36.920
But damn, what a great what a great fish.

1007
00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:40.239
You know. It's just like it's in the camera angles

1008
00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:42.960
when they when they reached out, Oh yeah, and uh,

1009
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:46.960
Jean was was short, and then it pens to Ricky

1010
00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:50.119
he's short. Oh no, but there's on his right hand.

1011
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:55.559
Yeah, yeah, that's amazing so I love the fact that

1012
00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:59.199
we all have kind of anchored onto different scenes because

1013
00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:02.119
the scene I want to talk about, and listen before

1014
00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:06.199
I begin, it's, you know, it's you're trying to say grace.

1015
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:08.960
You say grace, whichever Jesus you want. I like the

1016
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:13.719
biblical Jesus, so you know, the dinner prayer.

1017
00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:19.800
You know, Matt as a pastor, this has gotta you

1018
00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:21.199
gotta be grinning over this one.

1019
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:28.519
I did, in fact, and this kind of funny. There

1020
00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:33.440
was there's a there's a rule that McKay lives by

1021
00:52:33.679 --> 00:52:39.639
called the third thought. Okay, and so if you'll notice,

1022
00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:44.599
baby infant Jesus was not called the same thing twice. Never,

1023
00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:48.960
So here's the idea. The first thought is, you know,

1024
00:52:49.719 --> 00:52:54.719
the normal whatever first reaction. The second thought is the

1025
00:52:54.880 --> 00:53:00.400
neat reaction. The third thought is when it gets interest sting,

1026
00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:04.079
and when it gets strange, and when it turns into gold.

1027
00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:07.320
So the reason that they did they never said the

1028
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:11.079
same thing twice is they were trying to get through

1029
00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:14.079
that third thought. Okay. The second thought is, all right,

1030
00:53:14.159 --> 00:53:19.079
let's argue about what to call infant Jesus. As we're arguing,

1031
00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:23.760
the third thought is, well, I envisioned infant Jesus wearing

1032
00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:27.679
a tuxedo. Yeah, you know that kind of thing that

1033
00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:30.440
that that's it. That's the example of the third thought.

1034
00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:33.440
I like seeing Jesus in the with the eagle wings.

1035
00:53:33.480 --> 00:53:35.840
That's kind of wings, and there's.

1036
00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:38.760
A he's he's singing for Leonard Skinner and there's a

1037
00:53:38.760 --> 00:53:44.280
backup angel cal Naughton Jr. So so great. He just

1038
00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:47.840
his interjection to that, because my Jesus is formal, but

1039
00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:50.480
he's saying, hey, I also like the party. It's just like,

1040
00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:53.199
but mat dude, that's a brilliant point that you're that

1041
00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:55.639
you're bringing up because like by the time we finish,

1042
00:53:55.880 --> 00:53:59.960
you know, uh, John c Riley has interjected, Leslie Bibb

1043
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:02.000
has kind of like, hey, he grew up.

1044
00:54:02.400 --> 00:54:02.960
He's not a baby.

1045
00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:05.280
You don't have to And when he gets back to it,

1046
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:11.519
dear nine point nine pounds five ounce baby Jesus laying

1047
00:54:11.559 --> 00:54:13.280
there in your crib but still omnipotent.

1048
00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:14.440
It's my favorite.

1049
00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:15.679
It's my favorite.

1050
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:20.239
Jee Yeah, even the grand dad, he's an adult, he's

1051
00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:20.800
a man.

1052
00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:27.159
This whole scene it just I think it's my favorite

1053
00:54:27.199 --> 00:54:29.400
scene of the whole movie because it just continues to

1054
00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:34.559
build upon joke after joke, and just when you think, okay,

1055
00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:38.800
wait it's farh is is opening things up. He's giving

1056
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:41.280
people a chance to play in the space with him.

1057
00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:44.840
Then these little kids, you know, I'm all jacked up

1058
00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:48.360
Mountain New Ye come at you like a spider monkey. Chip,

1059
00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:51.760
you know, call their granddad Chip, and I'm ten years old.

1060
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:53.960
I whoop your ass. It's like, what are we doing?

1061
00:54:54.119 --> 00:54:57.119
Like everyone has a shot at the table to take

1062
00:54:57.159 --> 00:54:57.800
the spotlight.

1063
00:54:58.199 --> 00:54:59.679
And that's what makes it hilarious.

1064
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:01.639
It's a free for all.

1065
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:03.119
That's what I know it is.

1066
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:06.519
It is absolutely you gonna let go let your son's

1067
00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:08.360
talk to their grandfather, like absolutely Chip.

1068
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:11.920
They're winners. Winners get to do what they want.

1069
00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:15.320
Yeah, Jeff, another comment I'll have on that scene. It's

1070
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:18.280
kind of another layer of comedy, is just the whole

1071
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:24.079
look and the satirizing of commercialism, materialism, Oh gosh. Yeah,

1072
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:27.519
everything on the table is from a sponsorship. Nothing's home cooked.

1073
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:30.840
And he's even doing a commercial in his prayer, we

1074
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:32.880
thank you for Dominoes, and we can't wait to dig

1075
00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:34.199
into this taco bell and.

1076
00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:39.239
Yeah, yeah, well it's even Leslie Bibb, who who's doing

1077
00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:44.880
amazing work. Is this f HM model slash kind of

1078
00:55:44.880 --> 00:55:52.000
white trash slash terrible mom, terrible wife where she's she's screaming, get.

1079
00:55:51.760 --> 00:55:53.440
Get in there and get dinner. I've been slaving out

1080
00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:54.000
it all day.

1081
00:55:54.519 --> 00:55:58.760
And it's Domino's Pizza Taco bell and there's two leaders

1082
00:55:58.800 --> 00:56:01.360
a mountain dew and it's just yeah, the commercialism is

1083
00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:02.079
off the charts.

1084
00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:05.480
It's it's hilarious. Guys. Let's run the numbers real quick.

1085
00:56:05.519 --> 00:56:07.280
And I got I got a brief question at the

1086
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:08.920
at the end here, I'd love to get your opinion

1087
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:13.239
on Talladega Knights, released August fourth, two thousand and six,

1088

00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:20.920
minutes unless you're watching the unrated, uncut version on physical media,

1090
00:56:21.440 --> 00:56:25.760
which has thirteen extra minutes. And I absolutely, you know,

1091
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:27.280
suggest you check.

1092
00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:30.280
That one out. Film opened at number one at.

1093
00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:33.159
The box office with a forty seven million dollar weekend

1094
00:56:33.440 --> 00:56:35.920
before going on to gross one hundred and forty eight million.

1095
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:38.599
And this is off a budget official budget of seventy

1096

Fresh Cinema score grade B, and an IMDb score of

1098
00:56:47.400 --> 00:56:51.239
six point six out of ten, which I'm a little

1099
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:54.840
a little confused by because this is a it's a

1100
00:56:54.840 --> 00:56:57.639
big hit in two thousand and six. It's it's you know,

1101
00:56:57.800 --> 00:57:00.599
like you know, to like you as we're talking about

1102
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:03.719
spies like us. All the major players are involved. It

1103
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:07.760
should be like critically, well maybe not critically adore, but

1104
00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:09.559
everyone should love this. So when I see the scores,

1105
00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:12.199
I'm a little a little confused. Are you guys on

1106
00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:13.719
this one? Maybe?

1107
00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:15.679
No, No, that's not man.

1108
00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:18.679
I give it a solid B plus comedy for me? Okay,

1109
00:57:19.039 --> 00:57:21.559
which is happened in sixty six? I mean okay, I

1110
00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:23.320
would at least give it maybe seventy seven out of

1111
00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:24.199
one hundred to be fair.

1112
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:28.719
Maybe okay, you know, seventy eight, Matt, seventy eight, Okay.

1113
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:31.039
Okay, Matt, Matt, I'm just just a quick not to

1114
00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:33.239
put you on the spot, but because we know what

1115
00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:35.800
kind of comedy you don't approve of, or you don't

1116
00:57:35.800 --> 00:57:39.519
you don't really care for what Matt, Brent's the go

1117
00:57:39.559 --> 00:57:40.159
to comedy?

1118
00:57:40.159 --> 00:57:42.679
What would that be? You got a certain movie in mind?

1119
00:57:43.519 --> 00:57:45.000
So if we're if we're.

1120
00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:51.159
Going the Saturday Night Live route, yeah, Happy Gilmour. When

1121
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:53.559
it can't go wrong with that one. When he gets

1122
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:57.239
in a fight with Bob Barker. Yeah, every time I've

1123
00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:00.280
ever seen that scene in my life, I fall over

1124
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:03.760
laughing because I grew up watching Bob Barker.

1125
00:58:04.400 --> 00:58:07.800
Yeah, yeah, very out of character. No one expected that

1126
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:09.920
to happen. I'm just curious.

1127
00:58:11.039 --> 00:58:14.480
Here's something I'm curious for you guys though, assuming you

1128
00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:17.199
guys have seen you know, we're talking about step Brothers,

1129
00:58:17.199 --> 00:58:21.199
we're talking about Anchorman, We're talking about Ricky Bobby Talladagan Knights. Obviously,

1130
00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:23.800
I think, and I kind of alluded to this. I

1131
00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:28.960
think Farrell's movies work because he surrounds himself with very funny.

1132
00:58:28.679 --> 00:58:31.400
Comedians and comedians he.

1133
00:58:31.480 --> 00:58:35.519
Lets them share the spotlight with him. And to that end,

1134
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:38.360
I want to ask you, guys, which character from a

1135
00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:42.719
Will Ferrell movie steals the movie from Farrell himself. I'm

1136
00:58:42.719 --> 00:58:44.840
gonna give you three choices here so that way you're

1137
00:58:44.840 --> 00:58:47.960
not completely on the spot is it? Is it Paul

1138
00:58:48.039 --> 00:58:52.119
rudds Brian Fantana from Anchorman, The Legend of Ron Burgundy,

1139
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.960
And let's remember sixty percent of the time it works

1140
00:58:55.000 --> 00:59:00.599
every time, right, is it? Adam Scott's Derek Off from

1141
00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:04.320
Step Brothers The Greatest Older Brother, Like, this is the

1142
00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:08.960
epitome of older brothers being being shitheads in movies. I

1143
00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:12.519
put that up against Bill Paxson's chat from Weird Science Derek.

1144
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:15.320
Derek is such a dick, but he's so fun to watch.

1145
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:16.079
He's great.

1146
00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:20.440
And then lastly, Gary Coles Reese Bobby from Talladegan Knights,

1147
00:59:20.480 --> 00:59:24.480
who is the character that that steals the movie that

1148
00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:26.719
or you know, mostly steals the movie from from Will

1149
00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:28.199
Reese Bobby.

1150
00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:33.159
Yeah, Matt see, I'm going anchorman go.

1151
00:59:33.159 --> 00:59:35.199
On Brian Fantana to watch.

1152
00:59:36.679 --> 00:59:39.320
The mood is intense, Yes, I mean they're just talking

1153
00:59:39.440 --> 00:59:42.519
when they're talking about the cologne and all of what

1154
00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:46.039
was that sex over the top that's yeah, I mean

1155
00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:47.000
I love that part.

1156
00:59:47.800 --> 00:59:49.599
Yeah, I can't.

1157
00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:52.159
I can't not watch that and start cracking up when

1158
00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:54.079
that one the one lady in the background, she's.

1159
00:59:53.920 --> 00:59:55.639
Like, smells like Bigfoot's dick.

1160
00:59:57.760 --> 00:59:59.440
Just it's.

1161
01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:01.199
Yeah.

1162
01:00:01.360 --> 01:00:03.519
I think I think the true tragedy is we didn't

1163
01:00:03.559 --> 01:00:05.559
get we never got an Adam McKay movie that had

1164
01:00:05.719 --> 01:00:07.840
Paul Rudd, Adam Scott and Gary Cole in it together,

1165
01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:10.639
because that's that's what I want to see and that's where.

1166
01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:13.800
I was drawn a blank for whatever reason.

1167
01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:16.920
Paul kind of where I was heading with that one. Well, guys,

1168
01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:18.440
let's let's wrap things up.

1169
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:19.840
We'll tell you what.

1170
01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:22.000
We'll take one last break, and when we do, when

1171
01:00:22.039 --> 01:00:23.559
we do come back, we'll wrap.

1172
01:00:23.360 --> 01:00:27.960
Things up for you. Welcome back. We're about to wrap

1173
01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:28.480
things up.

1174
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:32.599
I need some suggestions from the accidental legends.

1175
01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:35.880
Uh so here's my question to you.

1176
01:00:36.519 --> 01:00:40.320
Someone watches Talladega Knights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. They

1177
01:00:40.360 --> 01:00:43.960
love it and they're like, this guy, Adam McKay, this

1178
01:00:44.079 --> 01:00:44.960
director is amazing.

1179
01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:48.039
Is there what can you derk? What can you recommend?

1180
01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:53.800
Like? Is there an underrated Adam McKay project? Did he

1181
01:00:53.880 --> 01:00:56.119
direct something? Did he did he write something? Did he

1182
01:00:56.199 --> 01:00:59.400
star on something? What's your recommendation if I got to

1183
01:00:59.440 --> 01:01:03.440
see something underrated from Adam McKay, Well, I don't know.

1184
01:01:03.960 --> 01:01:06.679
I don't know if it would be considered underrated. I

1185
01:01:06.679 --> 01:01:09.800
certainly know in the genre it may be a little underrated.

1186
01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:12.360
I would always tell everybody to go see ant Man.

1187
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:13.119
Uh.

1188
01:01:13.159 --> 01:01:15.119
It doesn't really get a lot of love in the

1189
01:01:15.159 --> 01:01:17.800
Marvel universe as far as all the movies go. But

1190
01:01:18.599 --> 01:01:21.039
I think it's pretty funny and and I didn't even

1191
01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:24.280
realize he actually was responsible or part of the creating

1192
01:01:24.320 --> 01:01:26.599
of ant Man. But now that I saw the connection,

1193
01:01:26.719 --> 01:01:28.400
now I'm like, oh, yeah, of course he is.

1194
01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:29.440
Okay.

1195
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:30.960
You know what, when you when you look at the

1196
01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:34.920
MCU as a whole, I would definitely say ant Man

1197
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:37.480
is the under one of the underrated movies. And I

1198
01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:39.079
say underrated, I don't say one of the bad ones,

1199
01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:41.599
because there's I'll listen, I'm a Marvel fan. I love them,

1200
01:01:42.159 --> 01:01:45.199
but there's some bad ones. But ant Man definitely not.

1201
01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:48.199
It's I would say that's an underrated, fun, fun movie.

1202
01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:49.960
It's it's it's right back there on the wall.

1203
01:01:50.079 --> 01:01:56.039
Oh shit, damn it, hold on, I hate you.

1204
01:01:56.679 --> 01:01:59.760
Yeah, hey, this this camera, you know it just it

1205
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:02.280
certain gestures.

1206
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:05.039
It'll do it'll do stuff. But I'll do that again.

1207
01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:10.159
Yeah, it's back there, right down the wall, all right

1208
01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:13.559
back there on the wall. And then if maybe you

1209
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:18.119
know what, I'll probably I'll probably keep that in. I

1210
01:02:18.119 --> 01:02:22.440
didn't expect the camera to do that. So all right, cool, Matt.

1211
01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:26.719
Underrated project, whether it's written by, directed by, or possibly

1212
01:02:26.719 --> 01:02:28.639
starring Adam McKay, what.

1213
01:02:28.519 --> 01:02:29.400
Would you recommend?

1214
01:02:29.880 --> 01:02:33.239
I've got two Okay, I didn't understand the assignment. And

1215
01:02:33.280 --> 01:02:34.119
I'm going to give you two.

1216
01:02:34.880 --> 01:02:36.599
You must be friends with Amber Lewis, the voice the

1217
01:02:36.599 --> 01:02:38.880
reason who loves to cheat when it comes to these things.

1218
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:41.800
And I got three. I got two.

1219
01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:46.280
You ain't cheating, you ain't trying. Oh okay, So uh

1220
01:02:46.519 --> 01:02:49.280
the first one. Uh, I am more of a TV

1221
01:02:49.400 --> 01:02:55.320
guy than a movie guy. Okay. And so I will

1222
01:02:55.360 --> 01:03:03.559
recommend Succession, the HBO series. Yeah, and I did not

1223
01:03:03.760 --> 01:03:07.079
know that. Uh that logan? Who am I thinking about?

1224
01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:11.039
I didn't know not know that. Adam McKay was an

1225
01:03:11.079 --> 01:03:16.119
executive producer on it also also directed the first episode,

1226
01:03:16.760 --> 01:03:21.199
so he was kind of the stability behind that series

1227
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:24.239
throughout the whole thing, and as it went on, he

1228
01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:26.320
kind of he kind of got more and more hands off.

1229
01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:29.400
It looked like. But I will recommend Succession.

1230
01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:34.880
You are the tenth or twelfth or I've lost count

1231
01:03:35.519 --> 01:03:38.760
person that has told me has asked me, why aren't

1232
01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:40.000
you watching Succession?

1233
01:03:40.280 --> 01:03:42.239
And when are you gonna start watching Succession?

1234
01:03:42.280 --> 01:03:43.519
So I've seen it twice?

1235
01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:46.280
I okay, Well, if you're if you're on a if

1236
01:03:46.320 --> 01:03:48.639
you're prepping for a third, third track, do it. I

1237
01:03:48.639 --> 01:03:50.519
gotta I gotta get it on. So yeah, I will

1238
01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:53.280
definitely put that on my watch list and check that out.

1239
01:03:53.639 --> 01:03:57.199
Yes, so the second the second one, Yeah, I'm gonna

1240
01:03:57.199 --> 01:03:58.960
I'm gonna I'm gonna stop you. I'm gonna cheat.

1241
01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:00.000
Oh that's right, that's right.

1242
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:06.920
Your Sharp Objects with Amy Adams. Also an HBO show just.

1243
01:04:07.000 --> 01:04:08.760
Wait, Wait, wait wait this is the Seat.

1244
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:11.119
Yeah, it's a mini series where she kind of goes

1245
01:04:11.159 --> 01:04:12.599
back home and there's a mystery.

1246
01:04:13.119 --> 01:04:14.480
Yes, I watched that.

1247
01:04:15.519 --> 01:04:17.320
I went back and forth on it, but in the end,

1248
01:04:17.360 --> 01:04:20.960
I was like, I'm glad I seen this. This was damn good.

1249
01:04:20.440 --> 01:04:22.480
Yeah, we get a little bit more.

1250
01:04:22.840 --> 01:04:25.440
Yeah, who was who was the guy? Who was it?

1251
01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:28.559
What they're in that? Okay?

1252
01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:31.840
Well I sure Amy Adams. That's that's all you need

1253
01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:33.840
to know for as far as I'm concerned.

1254
01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:39.360
Yeah, that's Amy Adams doing just incredible dramatic work in that.

1255
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:40.119
Movie, you know.

1256
01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:42.320
Yes, Yeah, all right, all right.

1257
01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:46.000
I hinted at this at the top of the hour.

1258
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:50.320
I'm gonna go with twenty Sixteen's The Big Short, which

1259
01:04:50.360 --> 01:04:53.000
was written by and directed by Adam McKay.

1260
01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:53.719
Uh.

1261
01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:55.920
This is that docu drama about the two thousand and

1262
01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:59.440
eight housing crisis where the market just completely with the shiit.

1263
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:01.760
It has got a stelle if you haven't seen, it's

1264
01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:04.599
got a stellar cast. I'm talking Christian Bale, Steve Carell,

1265
01:05:04.679 --> 01:05:06.079
Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling.

1266
01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:10.320
There's cameos and uh fun fact for you guys.

1267
01:05:10.559 --> 01:05:15.280
Uh, this incredible film was made by Paramount on the

1268
01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:19.480
sole condition that Adam McKay agree to make a sequel

1269
01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:25.960
to Anchorman The Legend ron Burgundy and I. So the

1270
01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:28.719
angles on that deal well, and I think he kind

1271
01:05:28.760 --> 01:05:31.039
of worked them too, because it's kind of like, Hey,

1272
01:05:31.079 --> 01:05:32.679
I got this amazing movie and I want to make it.

1273
01:05:32.719 --> 01:05:36.840
They're like, yeah, we want Anchorman. He's like, no, it's well, okay,

1274
01:05:36.880 --> 01:05:38.159
we'll do Anchorman.

1275
01:05:37.840 --> 01:05:41.679
And we'll do it. I listen, I love Anchorman. The

1276
01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:44.960
sequel is terrible. I'm just I'm calling. I'm calling. I'm sorry. Sorry,

1277
01:05:44.960 --> 01:05:48.079
Adam McKay. I don't mean to be so uh.

1278
01:05:48.119 --> 01:05:50.400
Firm, but but I'm being fair if I if I

1279
01:05:50.440 --> 01:05:53.599
am agree, all right, So I think we know where

1280
01:05:53.639 --> 01:05:57.840
Matt's possibly heading with this one. But uh, Derek, we'll

1281
01:05:57.880 --> 01:06:01.960
start with you first. Uh your recommendation on Talladaga Night's

1282
01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:04.159
the ballot of Ricky Bobby, because it's right now, it's

1283
01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:08.920
I believe it's streaming on Peacock, it's on Netflix. You

1284
01:06:08.960 --> 01:06:12.840
can watch it on t B free with ads. You know,

1285
01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:15.800
where'd you watch this one, Dirk? And would you recommend it?

1286
01:06:16.400 --> 01:06:19.679
First time I watched this was Netflix DVD way back.

1287
01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:24.239
Okay, oh when back when they before they are bloodsucking parasites,

1288
01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:25.000
and you know.

1289
01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:28.079
I think it was a good deal for everybody. Yeah,

1290
01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:31.199
first time I saw I thought it was okay. But

1291
01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:35.639
for me, like a lot of comedies, upon rewatching, letting

1292
01:06:35.639 --> 01:06:38.960
it marinate, I've decided I really enjoyed this one, and

1293
01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:42.719
I think it's a definite ce. There's a lot of

1294
01:06:42.800 --> 01:06:45.119
funny stuff going on here, a lot of different layers.

1295
01:06:46.239 --> 01:06:49.960
It's that if you like NonStop sketch type comedy improv,

1296
01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:52.519
this is. I put it in a caliber of like

1297
01:06:52.639 --> 01:06:55.800
Off the Space or Dodgeball or Tropic Thunder. If you

1298
01:06:55.880 --> 01:06:58.599
like those kind of movies, you're gonna like this movie,

1299
01:06:58.760 --> 01:06:59.079
all right?

1300
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:03.000
Yuh yeah. Listeners is probably like, what what's his deal

1301
01:07:03.039 --> 01:07:03.559
with Netflix?

1302
01:07:03.559 --> 01:07:03.599
What?

1303
01:07:03.719 --> 01:07:05.400
You know, let's let's not forget uh.

1304
01:07:06.199 --> 01:07:12.119
Netflix just got two point eight billion dollars to do

1305
01:07:12.199 --> 01:07:16.760
nothing with Warner Brothers. It was a breakup fee, and

1306
01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:20.760
they celebrate this by raising the price of our subscriptions.

1307
01:07:20.960 --> 01:07:24.880
Oh yes, like a week later so and charging nine

1308
01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:29.079
dollars and ninety nine cents for adding extra people to

1309
01:07:29.159 --> 01:07:29.719
your account.

1310
01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:31.599
I'll never do it.

1311
01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:34.360
It's fantastic. And I don't even know this movie is

1312
01:07:34.519 --> 01:07:37.559
on Prime or it's on is on Netflix?

1313
01:07:37.800 --> 01:07:38.679
Oh is it not? Okay?

1314
01:07:39.159 --> 01:07:42.119
No, I am not. I am not a physical media

1315
01:07:42.159 --> 01:07:45.920
whorror like a lot of people are. So I had

1316
01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:48.599
to stream and the only place I could find it

1317
01:07:48.639 --> 01:07:51.119
was on Prime. I mean you could go, you could

1318
01:07:51.119 --> 01:07:53.519
go through you know, Apple TV, to Fandango and all

1319
01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:55.559
that kind of stuff. And I just went to Prime

1320
01:07:56.239 --> 01:07:57.880
and I rented it for three dollars a nine and

1321
01:07:57.920 --> 01:07:58.559
nine cents.

1322
01:07:58.880 --> 01:08:01.599
Right, And as you said, you you watched it, you

1323
01:08:01.719 --> 01:08:04.239
enjoy talking about it. But that was you you enjoy

1324
01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:06.639
talking about you, not so much watching it and enjoying it.

1325
01:08:06.679 --> 01:08:08.719
So maybe maybe you're not recommending this one.

1326
01:08:09.039 --> 01:08:11.679
No, I will recommend it. I've got the I've got

1327
01:08:11.760 --> 01:08:14.360
