Speaker 1 (00:00):
If I'm out of the group, I'm actually walking right
out the door. And as a parting gift, I'm gonna
take all of these movie posters The Godfather. Have you
ever seen it? Rachaman, do you know who directed it? Vertigo?
Do you have it? These are not posters for you, Okay, taking.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It back to my.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
In North Hollywood. Had to watch.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, and you're not allowed to be there.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
The posters are drilled into the wall.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
He's an absolute fuck off.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
If anybody needs me, don't come anywhere near me. Welcome
to get it to Dutch a screenwriter's podcast. I'm Mark
and that's it. Well, you just heard was a snippet
of a pitch meeting that we had about an hour
ago at Victory Pictures. And I'll tell you what, folks.
The Dream is dead. The curtain has been lifted. Hollywood
(00:50):
is dead. That means the Dream and Hollywood, both of
those are dead. But not me. I'm alive. The last
man in Hollywood, which actually that is a pretty good idea.
The last man in Hollywood, last man in Hollywood, he
wakes up, can make any movie he wants. That would
be he could go to all the prop houses he
could go, he'd have to know how to make sense
(01:12):
which would he could use existing sets or he could
go on location. Well, he'd have to get how does
he get into the prop houses. He'd have to find
a lock breaker thing, which he could find. You can
rent those at home depot. He could just take it
because no one would be there to rent it to him.
What makes him tick? He has twenty four hours to
(01:32):
make a movie. Yeah, that's a good idea. So why
twenty four hours? Why twenty four hours? It's a contest,
but there's no people. Did he make the contest? Why
would he create a contest? Why is it this guy? Ah?
I don't know. Another classic that never gets made? Not
here anyway, Maybe in Austin, Texas. I have a friend
(01:54):
down in Austin who says everybody's running around with iPhones
making great movies. So that's where I'm heading. And you
know who else is? Greg and Brendan are dead, not literally,
They're fine, but they fucking suck. And I guess when
they said they wanted to change the world, what they
meant was they wanted to latch onto the teet of
Hollywood mediocrey and diary escort their shit into the diaper
(02:15):
of commerce. As you may recall, we started this podcast
to document our screenwriter's journey. But now I've decided that
this podcast has an even bigger mission to expose the
rot at the core of this degenerate industry. And as
I teased it before, but here's my new business. I'm
moving to Austin and from here on out, I will
(02:36):
only be taking sponsorships from small, independently run businesses like
dan Cola. Dan Cola is run by my neighbor Dan,
and he doesn't ship it yet. But if you email
promo code or a boros to the show, I can
provide an address to get a free jar of dan
Cola and bring your own jar, folks. Because he doesn't
do cans, he doesn't do bottles. This is sota like
(02:58):
it ought to be, like it used to be, like
your grandfather used to have it in the container you
want out of a sink. The great thing about dan Cola,
Dan tells you exactly what's in it. And I'm looking
at the ingred and says corn syrup sprite, and well,
that's it. It looks like. But if you're looking for
a cola with that lemon lime zing and a little
corn syrup booster soup. Ladle yourself a mason jar of
(03:20):
dan Cola right out of his bathroom sink. Oh yow's
that is hi? That's sweet. Aye, that is uh. That's
a regular Grandma snake bite remedy right there.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
That is a real.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Throws your coat is what it does. But you can
taste this thing hasn't been regulated.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's like soda soup. It is what it tastes like.
You don't want the FDA telling you how to drink soda.
I love it. I'm not gonna finish it. Wow, this
is a thick film on my tongue. You can be
put this on pancakes. Good god, Dann, what you were
about to hear is it's personally humiliating, but it is incendiary.
(04:06):
It's possibly illegal. I've got to look into that. And
if I was in this for me, I would never
play it. But this is bigger than me. This is
bigger than all of us, and it's like I said,
it's time to expose the rot, which may be the
new name of this podcast. Let me just google real quick,
expose the rot. Uh Yeah, now looks like that as
(04:29):
a German troll metal band. Oh yeah, they sing about
some controversial stuff. U Plus, I got about one hundred
and fifty T shirts. So for the time being, it's
still called Get It to the Dutch Let me reset.
It's day one. Welcome to a revolutionary new podcast, still
called Get It to Dutch Man. I wish I had
a new name, but you'll see the content is explosive
(04:52):
and we're stirring it up on this one. We're kicking
things off with a secret, behind the scenes recording of
my final act in Hollywood. It's a pitch meeting. I'm
not going to say anything else about it except that
it starts with the three of us in the lobby
and this is where the fuse is lit. It's kind
of a long fuse that explodes closer to the end.
But take a listen here it comes right now. Smash
(05:16):
like and subscribe. Wow, this is nice. Yeah, this is
this is this is very big. This is big. All right.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
So let's tell everybody at home the difference between a
general meeting, which were on before, and what this is,
which is a pitch meeting.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
It's a good idea, okay, So this is a pitch meeting.
It's very different from a general meeting.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
This is this is an.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Official at that where we get to tell the executive
in this case Lily Jackson soorbo about our idea from
start to finish, and she either gives us the money
to write it or tells us she's a big fan.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Okay, So we have run this pitch about six hundred times.
We have scripted everything right down to the small talk
at the top.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I think it was a great move. It's completely air tight.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah, although I of course would have know because I
have never pitched before.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Well, it's relax.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Think of it like an elevator pitch, but you stretch
it out for like twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Why would you be in an elevator for twenty minutes? Well,
if another nine to eleven happens, oh boy. Okay, let's
bring the energy of a twenty minute elevator pitch during
nine to eleven.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Right, should we be freaking out during the night.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
No, nobody should be freaking out. Nobody's in any danger.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Okay, you know, I'll reassure at the top that she's
not in any danger.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah, No, we don't have to say it, don't Yeah,
don't do that. Just just just do it like we
rehearse it. Just relax, Sit down. Read one of the
trade magazines they have on the table here.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Whoa look at this cover a variety. Dolf Matti signs
a three picture deal with Tyson Studios.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
What wow, those two are made for each other.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, Now our two biggest problems are each other's biggest problems.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know what, I actually think this is great. I'm serious.
I wish him well, yeah, he's where he's supposed to be.
And look it up, we are where we are supposed
to be. This is great. It's all good. We've got
a air tight pitch. We're pitching a movie we believe in. Guys,
we're gonna crush this.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yes, how are you, Brendan?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You there? All right? Thanks so much for having us.
This is real excited to be here.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That was the chair. I didn't part.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
It really was the chair.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Okay, thanks for coming in.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You so duck told me a lot about one of you. So,
which one's grape?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Greg? Greg?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Greg? Where's grape?
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You know, I don't think it's grape. I'm Greg.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
So is grape coming?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
You know?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
I think sometimes people mix up the name Greg for
Grape because there's there's actually no no grape, and I'm
Greg and it happens all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's probably auto Greg.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
So hm hmm, sad.
Speaker 9 (08:03):
I'm already disappointed. I wanted to meet someone named Grape today.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Who are you, guys?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I'm Mark, you could call me Grape.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I was was going to do the grape joke, but
you said it first. But you know something right off
the bat I want you to know is that you
are not in any danger.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Why would you say that.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I just wanted you to know that.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
You know, we're not stuck in an elevator. This is
nine to eleven.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, that was just a stupid thing we are talking about.
He's nervous. It's his first pitch. He's never his.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
First pitch too, and he's never pitched before.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
You.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Actually, I have done some pitches. You guys can punch
me Grape.
Speaker 9 (08:48):
Guys, can we just get into it. I'm doing this
as a favor for Duck, so let me just.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Hear the pitch.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Oh great, well, yes, love love Duc love you.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
And I barely know you.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Mark. You wanted to go ahead and kick us off.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
I think you know it's a it's funny in La
it's uh, there's always a lot of traffic, which is
something Mark can relate to this morning.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, I think I think we can all relate to
the traffic in southern California, and today it was nuts.
You know the thing about California.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Let's not do the small talk, all right, I'm doing
a favor, so let me just hear the idea.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, yeah, totally so. Uh and that's why you shouldn't
take ka during Russia.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
That is great, Mark, But we're not here for small talk.
We're here to talk big, and we think you're gonna
love this big idea. It's called Adam Sandler's Ship for Brains.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
Pass hard pass. Salmon's doing smart ass at gas Station TV.
It's the one where his butt's a genius. Oh so
what else you guys got? Let me hear some then else?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Come on, he.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Plays the butt, Yeah, he plays the butt.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
But who's the guy the genius butt?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Who's the actor? Oh? Is this the one with Michael Fastbender?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Assbender?
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Is that a movie?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Do you guys have other pitches? You have other pitches?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Right? Yeah, yes, I mean we're trying to figure out
what's maybe the best one. To start with, we have
so many ideas.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
We have one that's called The Winds of Bellinore. It's
a high fantasy.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
That one's kind of like a kid's movie, which I
don't know if you're into the kids movies, but we do.
We have one that's like, yeah, not a lot of
folks are. But we have one called the Edge of Desire,
which is a.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Thrill, a kind of playing second fiddle if you think
to our best idea, Mark, which is called The Boy,
the Girl, and.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
Guys, let me stop you right, there are any of
these ideas like Taken.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Our mandate is to make our version of Taken taken.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
No, when's the bills?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Wow, that's certainly not you know what.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Actually, we do have a story that's like Taken.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Better let me hear it, ye hold on, hold on, hello,
you gotta be fucking kidding me.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah, okay, I'll be right there. Guys, I'm sorry, I
have to go.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
I am doing this sitcom with Logan Paul and Bella
Hadid and they are it's basically just a very fun
like you guys know, family Guy. It's like the live
action version of that. It's fantastic, but they're not getting along.
Logan keeps trying to fight her. I don't know, I'm
(11:57):
gonna go. I'm just gonna go check on that. I'll
be right back.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Okay, Jake should have cast Jake.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So what the fuck man desire is clearly the most
like taken.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Image gets dark imag and literally gets taken by taking.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
We spent hours working on this thing. I say, we
shove it down her throat. We pitch it for brains.
What do you say?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
We know?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
The pitch backwards and forwards's hard past on ship.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
You don't go and pitch something as soon as somebody
passes on it. Guys, here's the hard truth. None of
our movies are like Taken.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think you're right, and we have
to come up with a brand new movie on the spot. Okay,
all right, yes, deep breath, Yeah, we.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Can do this. We can do this.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
This is what we are.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Creative tights.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Huh, put the melting pot together, let a bubble be
all right?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Cool? All right, follow my lead. I gotta take an idea.
That's an absolute mind ben No, on this spot.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
How about we follow my lead? Nobody ever follows.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
You're never meant to lead.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Oh, my god. Oh I got it.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
We're you about to take a shit. Guys.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I can do this. I don't know what this is,
but I have never been more sure of anything in
my whole life.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I can pitch this. We're gonna do this usual suspect style.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I'm gonna look around the room and just boom idea
boom character named Boom. I'm in the zone, baby, give
me the ball, let me run with it.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Wow wow uh okay, yeah, I've never heard you talk
like that.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
How do you go? Man? Yes, I believe in you. Yeah,
the ball is yours.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Guys, run like the wind. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Crisis averted?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Where she is?
Speaker 9 (13:47):
It turns out that Bella actually was beating up Logan,
which is fine because he wanted to train.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
So it's all good. We're all fine. But where were we?
Let's get back to it. I want to hear this
taken idea. Okay, come on.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Great, I think who please? Brian.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Brian is played by Jonah Hill.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I thought that that was very well, Cassie. So funny.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
He's into like the suit, right, the dog?
Speaker 9 (14:13):
You dress him up like a dog. Yeah, all right,
So let me hear the taken idea.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yes, Brandon is gonna lead us off, and he's ready
for his clothes.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Okay, okay, cool, Now that I have here undevoted attention,
I want you to think of this.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
We open on an office.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
And there's all these cool movie posters on the wall,
and sitting behind a desk is an executive and I
look at her feet, her stinky little land hands five,
little Peggy.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Oh, hold on, all right, I got another call here.
What is it? Okay, Sorry, I've got to go. Jonah.
Speaker 9 (14:57):
His therapist is there. He needs to talk to his therapist.
It's a big thing. So the therapist is saying he
shouldn't play dog. He thinks it's demeaning.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I don't know. I'm just gonna go.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
I'm gonna go ahead and talk to them, but I
will be right back.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Hands, land hands, you know that's okay?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Listen to fetish community.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
They're called landing.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Okay, fall in line, gentlemen. Let me take the lead
on this one. It is a movie that is a
Taken movie, and it's actually three movies at wal Mart.
And I am not gonna let you do this. She
wants a straight up Hollywood hit. Guys, this is my milia.
What I have a very particular set of skills. Just
(15:40):
follow me for the court changes. For God's sakes, boys,
try to keep up. That's fine, but it cannot just
be a rip off of Taken. It has to have
some unique twist to it. And it makes it it will.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
You, guys?
Speaker 9 (15:56):
Well, it turns out Jonah just needed to take a
bunch of pills and he's my goodness, Hollywood psychiatrist.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Let's get back to it. Go ahead, give me a thrill.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
So pictured, this ex Navy seal Dirk mulroney travels across
Europe and he relies on his old skills, his special
skills to save his daughter who's been kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Which sounds exactly like Taken.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
But there's a twist mark, yeah, because she was taken
from her own wedding. During the father daughter dance, how
a terrorist taps Dirk on the shoulder and says, do
you mind if I cut in? And that's what the
movie is called, do you mind if.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I cut in?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Wow, guys, that's actually a really good idea.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, Wow, such a good story. Yeah, it's it's such
a good millieu. You know, here's the thing. Greg has
all the answers to all of your questions, and I'm
sure you have a thousand because I do, and you
might be one of the questions you might be asking,
who was the guy who took the daughter?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Well, uh, not to speak for Greg, but I assumed
it was Russia.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It was a Russians. And did you assume that that
makes sense?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Yeah, Russians? Okay, usually like making them the villains.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, and so that makes sense, which we all love.
And I love another part of it, which is that
this guy, mulroney, he's ex Navy seal, and he didn't
pick up on the fact that the bad guy was
a terrorist.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Tell her why, Greg, Well, he didn't because the well,
we talked about it, yes, and and.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Well, it's interesting because when we were talking about it,
we decided that maybe this guy just looked like he
was Russian, but actually he was.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
An intergalactic light being, an intergalactic light light being sort
of a holographic yeah, space alien.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Yeah, an intergalactic space alien that we can render using
AI and it can look exactly like a wedding guest.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Well, I love AI. We love AI.
Speaker 9 (18:08):
Here here, you guys, everybody here, we've just been talking
about we love it, so it's.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
So easy to an idea.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Hey, I don't have an idea.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I like you, you're fun. I like you, but guys,
don't leave me hanging. Give me the meat. That's the meat.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
What's the meat?
Speaker 7 (18:40):
Meat?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Such a good question, Greg, Yeah, tell her the meat,
give her the full story, like every specific detail that
we love.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
I will mark totally because the whole story is pretty
much on the table ready to up. And the whole
story is like taken, but of course it's different and
better than taken, much better because it's exciting.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It is exciting. And I'm sorry, Greg, I.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Could what is going on with your face? What is that?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Oh yeah, there's a smile you have it or something
you might if I cut it.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
And he made a joke, and now I think he's honest.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It doesn't get motions that looking at it was a joke,
but sometimes it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You not like me or something that you're looking at
me is just making me feel like you don't I
feel attacked?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Yeah, no, sorry, I'm doing this with your face.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
It's just how I look.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
Sorry, it's not how people look or smile. Okay, you
look like you're transforming into a were wolf. You look
like when you're stuck between a human and a werewolf,
you know, were wolf like going through puberty or something
not fully developed.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
It's it's like only halfway there. Okay, it's really like uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Okay, can I say a little more?
Speaker 9 (19:51):
Yeah, you can talk, but I'm just going to look
at him instead, because it's kind of it's disturbing.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It's disturbing stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We cannot talk about.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Light highlight with ugly people.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Can I just reboot the system, restart.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
The whole time. I can't. Somebody better talks soon, because okay,
so what.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We really wanted to have was a well rounded female character,
which we all are great at writing. That's one of
our main things that we like to do, except Greg
is a little bit anti, but I love writing any event.
When Dirk goes to Paris in search of his daughter,
the first person he meets is a well rounded female
character who's she's tough as nails, but she's also beautiful,
(20:33):
and she's a cabby named Lambeau. Not a name, It
is a name, and that's what her name is because
it's French and she's French. So it's perfect.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
It's Lamboo Limbeau.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
She gets it. It's Lambeau. It can change, it can,
but it won't because it's a perfect name. And just
one look at her and you know she's trouble. She's
the toughest and the best and the smartest, and she
doesn't need a man, but she could have one if
she wants, but she doesn't want one right now because
she's just finding herself. And she plays in the men's
soccer League for Paris Saint Germaine. She's the best team there.
Speaker 9 (21:05):
So okay, I just want to make sure I have
this straight. So she's a cabby and she's also a
professional soccer player.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Well, she just practices with the guys so that they
can get better.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
She plays with them. No, she doesn't know she does.
She's the best of all of them. How could that
possibly work? How could she be the best? How are
you questioning a female but being the best soccer player?
Are you asking me how soccer works? Because what you
had to do is you kick a ball into a
net and she's the best at Oh, I'm sorry, do
you mind if I cut in? I think he means football.
Nobody in Paris is going to be calling it soccer
(21:37):
it yeah, and American is her favorite. Oh, so she
calls it football. She calls them whatever the fuck she wants.
She speaks of them anyway, anyway, Anyway, this well rounded,
cabby soccer player genius is so sick of being in
movies where the helpless.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Little girl gets shaved by a man.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
But of course she doesn't know she's in a movie, right, Mark,
Now that would be insane.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Right, She's a yes, of course, and it's not insane.
She hears Dirk's story when he gets in the cab
and so immediately bored. Here's the thing, why is she there?
Why is she there? To show that movies, Lily, can
be so much more than just generic action bullshit, That
movies aren't just mad libs where you take whatever's already
(22:20):
there and you just plug in your own pooping fart jokes.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Well that's interesting. Actually, just greenlit a mad libs movie that. Yeah,
I'm excited about it. Oh, it's so funny. You should
see the fart jokes.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I was. I'll do the Sunday New York Times mad
lib every sing.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
My god, they really are the best challenging.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
So what happens to the daughter.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Great questions, that's what I want to do. Great question
the movie and this.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
One, guys, everybody shut it down. The daughter turns out
she was the bad guy.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
All okay, So she kidnapped herself from her own wedding.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yes, I think, yeah, I think that would be a
good thing.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Yeah, I wish someone had kidnapped me from my wedding instead.
I got married to Kevin Sorbo. It was either him
or Gene Simmons from Kiss. Yeah, those were my Hollywood suitors. Wow,
I can't wait forever for fucking Slater from Saved by
the Bell.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
You know what I mean. So I've lipped a banana
nut muffin and it landed on.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
That's fine, flipped a banana nut muffin.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I did. It landed on its side, So you know, sor.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Mark, she flipped aff just round everywhere.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Well, yeah, are you asking me how muffins work?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Earlier soccer?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
That was a perfect call.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
I prov class a few years ago with Sharna was
one on one.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Were really, I can tell you're so well around it
a lot. Yes, I'm saying there's there's more than two
sides of a muffin. No, there's none. There are. It's
just because if you look at it, there's no side
on a muffin.
Speaker 9 (24:12):
Well it landed on side and I know so, so
I'm just gonna I'm gonna stop you right here, guys.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I am obsessed with this pitch. I love it.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
Obviously you know I have to share it with my boss,
but I can guarantee he's gonna love it.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
So congrats, congratulations, amazing.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
I don't know it, but I feel like we uh
we just are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Thank you, ma'am? Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
No drop the formalities. I am not ma'am.
Speaker 9 (24:46):
Okay, And we're probably gonna be working together a lot
now on the ground, So let's just be buds, you know,
let's be chums.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Yes, yes, I love that. I love friend work relationships.
Is this business without good friends?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
My mind? You know this is so exciting.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
You know they say nine to eleven never forget, but
I've got that nine ten feeling all of me too.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Oh yeah, well, what do you guys say? Let's just
go grab some drinks, agin as a pot and celebrate.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I want cocktail, Thank you very much. Pull the car around, let's.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Go now, let's uber because I'm gonna get absolutely bombed.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I mean, sorry, and this is I'm glad we're all
having fun, but yeah, I mean we don't even have
really a full idea this. I mean right, there's like
we have to if we're going to actually make it.
I wouldn't wanted to feel like I don't know an
idea that we just came up with on the spot
two minutes ago. Mark, I'm just saying we should go
(25:41):
around and maybe rate the thing to see if we
like it, Because if we go around and rate it,
we would actually see it's not a good movie.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
Guys, this is gold. I'm obsessed with this. Everybody here
is talking about it already. I'm absolutely floored by it. Obviously,
we're going to cut the whole weird soccer player lady
and everthing that Mark said. Maybe we're going to add
back in that stuff that you were talking about him
on my sexy little feet, you know, and then you
know it's a go picture.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh hold on, hold little let's just put the brakes on.
Why are you cutting the stuff that I'm a part of.
We're not doing a bullshit movie, you guys?
Speaker 3 (26:16):
All right? What is going on? Guys?
Speaker 9 (26:19):
Literally I'm so confused. Everybody here is on board, and
all of a sudden, I'm picking up all these mixed messages.
It doesn't feel like we're on the same page.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
We're not. We're not.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
We know we are, and I have got to do
something that I should have done a long time ago. Mark,
you're ahead of the group, man, what probably for the best?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
You can't kick me out of the group. I am
the group. You are staying on my.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Cout not a couch. Okay, stop calling it a couch.
It's a love seat, Okay, sciatica, screw you.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Greg, you fucking wow?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Okay, Hey, different brides. That was my Nobel Prize for
Best Animated Shorts.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Oh, we'll fix it.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
What are you talking about. That is not a fucking thing.
Did you get it at the UN?
Speaker 9 (27:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I did.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
They flew you to the UN to give you an
award for Best Animated Short.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
Wait, oh my god, there's chocolate in there. Oh god,
it was an April fool's joke.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I believe they flew you all of the group. If
I'm out of the group, I'm actually walking right out
the door. And as a parting gift, I'm gonna take
all of these movie posters that are on your wall.
The Godfather? Have you ever seen it? Rachaman? Do you
know who directed it? Vertigo? Do you have it? These
(27:41):
are not posters for you.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Okay, he's doing that thing where men ask women if
they've seen movies.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I'm taking that.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I'm taking it back to my watch.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, you're not allowed to be there.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
The posters are drilled into the wall. He's an absolute commass.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Keep them, but don't look at them. If anybody wants me,
I'll be making real films in my new creative home
base of Austin, Texas.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
I know we want you.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
We can look at whatever pretty commercial these days?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Isn't the scene in Marfa? Now?
Speaker 8 (28:15):
For If anybody needs me, don't come anywhere near me.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So there you have it. I said forever this was
a team podcast, but it's not. It's my podcast. So
from here on out, it's about my mission to make
our boros. I'm cinema forward. I will never compromise my art. Well, well, well,
(28:42):
can can we come in? Oh you're already in. Don't
bother knocking. Just waltz right in. And we just wanted
to make a peace offering.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Oh yeah, here it's a bag of cashews.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It's already open. Is this my bag of cashews? We
took it in the car ride for snaxt.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
The bigger point is is that we don't want this
town to tear our friendship apart.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
No, you don't need me as your friend. You got
your new friend, Lily Jackson Sorbo from the.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Pitch that all fill apart after you left.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Yeah, when you were there, it was like we all
had a common enemy. But after she turned on.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Us pretty fast.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
She's a pretty mean drunk.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Maybe it's for the best. I mean, you were right, Mark,
it was a pretty half baked.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Idea, I guess. Well, thank you for saying that, But
I don't think it was the idea. I think I was.
I was mad that Greg was getting all the attention,
I will admit it. When I imagined us finally getting our
big break, I imagined that it would be because of me,
you know, And so it was a petty, petty thing
I was doing. Yeah, well, I imagine the same thing me too.
(29:46):
You guys all imagine that I got us there, No,
that I got us me. I get us there, or
at least fine. Yeah, here's my bigger point. At the
end of the day. We don't need this town. No,
we don't. We don't don't. We could miss town needs anywhere,
any town like Austin. Yes, that sounds Vancouver.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yes, this is too cold and too hot. Somewhere right
in the middle.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
San Diego, San Diego. Oh, San Diego is like a
filmmaking town, San Diego. I have a summer place there,
Not San Diego. You have a summer place in San
Diego when it's the hottest. Hold on, I'm getting a
phone call. It's Al calling.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
Okay, hey, al, hey, guys.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Okay, how do you tell when spaghetti is done?
Speaker 1 (30:34):

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Well, how do you tell?
Speaker 7 (30:38):
No, that's that's not a joke. I'm actually asking.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Oh, throw it against the fridge.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Ah, there's water noodles everywhere.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
That was a stupid suggestion I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
You're only supposed to throw one noodle.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Oh, well, it's done, guys. I have great news. Remember
my idea for Chopper cop.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
I just saw the gas station TV.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
They want to split it into two thousand, thirty second installments.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (31:09):
It's a high seven figure deal.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
That is a reasonable amount of money.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Well, if you count the Commas on the dollar sign,
which I always do.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
But it's gravy.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
Baby, it's still not a good catchphrase. Out on me
too late. It's already on my bus bench.
Speaker 7 (31:27):
Ad. Okay, guys, what can I do you for?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
You called us out?
Speaker 7 (31:32):

Wait wait wait, how do they know about roboros?
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Oh? Nuts?
Speaker 6 (32:08):
A bunch of feral cats came through my dead dog's
doggy door.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Bet you one hundred bucks. They want the noodles.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
Yep, sure enough, there goes daddy's lunch. Hey, you guys,
owe me one hundred bucks. We didn't take the bet,
I said, bet you that's legally binding in California.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
You don't like it, take it up with a Gavinatory.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
We don't know the Gavinator.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
We don't have a hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Ah, what the hell? You guys pitched oraboros? We we
let it slip during drink loved it.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
That's my movie that legally you weren't there for the pitch,
so you don't get any credits.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Oh my god, I'm fucking suing you guys.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Can we just celebrate for a second before we get
into another legal battle? I mean, I promise we're gonna
to take you along for the ride somehow.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Oh thanks, you'll let me in on the movie that
I wrote and you stole. We're going to give you
story by credit.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Or maybe we make it an extra or something.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Greg's directing, what easy?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yuck?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Don't yell at me. I'm the director. Your extra work
is hanging in this balance. Do you want to piss
me off?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
I cannot believe this, So I guess the podcast can continue.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I guess it's all I got at this point.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
We'll see you next season when we're on set.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Until then, it's lights camera action. But for writing, yeah, directing,
I wish I was the last man in Hollywood. That's
a good it's a really good idea. It's a good idea.
I just came up with it, The Last Man in Hollywood.
He's got twenty four hours to make a movie. Why
they have twenty four hours because it's a contest. I
know somebody who would buy a movie like this. Do
you think Lily would be interested in them?
Speaker 7 (33:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Well, now that I've heard more, I don't think anybody
would buy this. Oh well, what's your fucking idea? Well,
it's called The Last Man in Hollywood. In the sas
still at the Sandston
