00:00:03.159 --> 00:00:06.139
Welcome to A Little Unscripted, the show where

00:00:06.139 --> 00:00:08.619
we pull a random title, spin a random genre,

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.419
and then try to create a film that honestly shouldn't

00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:15.740
work and is impossible and is way too expensive

00:00:15.740 --> 00:00:18.440
and no one's asking for. But that's the fun.

00:00:18.579 --> 00:00:23.120
One idea. One hour. And zero guarantees. Let's

00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:30.170
make this thing. Good day, everyone. and welcome

00:00:30.170 --> 00:00:33.149
to a little unscripted my name is ryan and i'm

00:00:33.149 --> 00:00:36.490
logan and no matter what we are going to make

00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:39.130
a movie today that's the plan 60 minutes one

00:00:39.130 --> 00:00:42.270
hour yes one movie and as we said in the intro

00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:44.909
or it was said in the intro nobody's asking for

00:00:44.909 --> 00:00:47.229
this but if you are asking for it if you want

00:00:47.229 --> 00:00:50.409
it we'll gladly need it Right out the gate, we're

00:00:50.409 --> 00:00:52.869
asking you to ask us for more. Yep. Look at us.

00:00:53.609 --> 00:00:56.450
And again, thank you for being here, Logan. Of

00:00:56.450 --> 00:01:01.090
course. And for doing this wacky show. And since

00:01:01.090 --> 00:01:03.310
it's our inaugural episode, we thought we would

00:01:03.310 --> 00:01:06.609
lay down some rules. Yeah. Rules and regulations.

00:01:07.510 --> 00:01:10.530
You lead Dungeons. You know what this is about.

00:01:10.530 --> 00:01:12.269
You got to have some rules. I'm in the presence

00:01:12.269 --> 00:01:14.349
of somebody who knows what's what. So I'm going

00:01:14.349 --> 00:01:17.579
to keep myself in check. I try. So some things

00:01:17.579 --> 00:01:22.219
that we must complete after we randomly are generated

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:26.439
a movie title and a genre, we are going to come

00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.799
up with an entire movie concept, top to bottom,

00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.640
from our brain pans. Yep. And we thought we would

00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.659
have, because we did some work here. We tested

00:01:35.659 --> 00:01:37.939
this. Some requirements, a list of things that

00:01:37.939 --> 00:01:40.459
we need to do in this hour. Yes. No matter what.

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.079
Couple of things. We didn't come up with a punishment.

00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:48.560
Ooh. I don't know if we want a punishment. I'm

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.480
very, I'm results driven and I'm fear driven.

00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.719
I could be motivated by that. Gotcha. So what

00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.599
we must do is create a plot to conclusion. Yes.

00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.040
In maybe three acts. Hopefully three. Okay. Not

00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.959
five, maybe seven. It depends on how feisty we're

00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.719
feeling. However many acts we get into, we must

00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.599
have in this film of ours, a character. One person.

00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.400
At least a character. Somebody to root for. Otherwise,

00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.159
what's the point of the movie? Or not. I don't

00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.419
know. Has there ever been a movie that didn't

00:02:20.419 --> 00:02:21.819
have a character? That's what I'm kind of musing

00:02:21.819 --> 00:02:23.900
on right now. I don't know. Is that possible?

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.020
Is it just like staring at a blank wall? It's

00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:29.879
got to be animated. And it's probably a porn.

00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.460
It's a huge section of porn, actually. It is.

00:02:34.099 --> 00:02:38.479
It has to have a director. At least, yeah. And

00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.860
so we'll name a director. And again, we're casting

00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:45.219
this with actors and using their names and preferably

00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:48.219
alive. Yeah, maybe alive. I'm kind of hoping

00:02:48.219 --> 00:02:50.060
dead. It'd be fun to have some dead ones. You

00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:52.159
never know. Yeah, okay. I don't know. I think

00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.639
Betty White zombie movie would be killer. It'd

00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.879
be so fun. In like a period of them. Yeah, yeah.

00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.639
In a moment of them. But like 60s Betty White.

00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.460
Like before we all knew her as the lovable grandma,

00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:05.060
like when she was just... Was she hot? Did she

00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:06.939
have a hot period like Helen Mirren? I mean,

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:10.139
have you looked up any way? I don't know. No,

00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:14.860
I have not. Why? I'm a fan. I own several copies

00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:17.960
of Lake Placid. I was in the theater before most

00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:24.139
jokers got hip to that movie. gatekeeping oh

00:03:24.139 --> 00:03:28.419
no i know you know people yes but did she have

00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:31.060
a hot period when she was like different strokes

00:03:31.060 --> 00:03:33.539
different folks really okay i'm not gonna swing

00:03:33.539 --> 00:03:35.800
about that's interesting you're gonna do your

00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.360
own research fascinated by that uh and we must

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.699
have a tagline yeah i think the tagline is my

00:03:42.699 --> 00:03:45.520
secretly favorite part i for sure only because

00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.159
i think the tagline makes or breaks a movie page

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.000
that's interesting i really do How many movies

00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.939
do you think were actually pitched and greenlit

00:03:54.939 --> 00:03:58.599
on a tagline? At least all of them. I, you know,

00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.620
I bet there's some, I, I, I mean, the, it's gotta

00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:04.039
be higher than zero, but I don't know about a

00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.520
hundred percent, but for sure marketing. Yeah.

00:04:06.539 --> 00:04:08.699
And that's what gets it. Do you think the PR,

00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.699
like they had a pitch and they had a tagline

00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:11.939
and then they're like, that's a terrible one.

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.000
And then somebody in the room was like, this

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.000
is a better one. I wonder how many times it was

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.300
like back in the day. It's like, all right, it's

00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:19.759
a, it's John Wayne, but he's doing this. Yeah.

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.100
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, let's be real. How

00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:25.319
many cigars were being smoked in the room? Who

00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.300
now commands that? It's this person doing that.

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.279
And everyone's like, yep. For a while. There's

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.680
always that actor of the times. Well, I know

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.740
that titles change and taglines are not. Sometimes

00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:43.550
the writers. So it's not anybody's, and sometimes

00:04:43.550 --> 00:04:46.910
they hate them. That's fascinating. I think that's

00:04:46.910 --> 00:04:48.569
cool, and that's the huge amount of pressure

00:04:48.569 --> 00:04:50.569
to put on us, and that's amazing. In one sentence,

00:04:50.629 --> 00:04:52.149
we could do it. And if we can figure it out,

00:04:52.170 --> 00:04:55.290
we'll get a composer for it. We'll assign writers.

00:04:56.329 --> 00:04:58.629
Locate anything that we can figure out to make

00:04:58.629 --> 00:05:02.110
this a truly great and inspiring film, movie.

00:05:02.769 --> 00:05:06.269
Short, maybe. Short in there? We might get short.

00:05:06.290 --> 00:05:07.870
We might get short. I mean, let's be real here.

00:05:07.930 --> 00:05:09.930
There are full sections at film festivals that

00:05:09.930 --> 00:05:12.509
are dedicated to just the shorts. We are prepared.

00:05:12.790 --> 00:05:14.910
We're just a little meant to be mysterious for

00:05:14.910 --> 00:05:16.889
the fun of the show that we do not know what's

00:05:16.889 --> 00:05:20.110
coming. But we have confidence enough in ourselves

00:05:20.110 --> 00:05:24.509
because we're friends and lovers of movies. I

00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:25.629
thought you were just going to end at lovers.

00:05:25.769 --> 00:05:28.370
Friends and lovers. Which I was like, I'm willing

00:05:28.370 --> 00:05:33.089
to roll with. And you love movies kind of the

00:05:33.089 --> 00:05:36.810
same way I do, semi -obsessively, but you like

00:05:36.810 --> 00:05:38.649
to know a lot about them. Yeah, I'm one of those

00:05:38.649 --> 00:05:41.829
ones that's like... I love the back of like the

00:05:41.829 --> 00:05:44.550
extra DVD commentary, like deleted scenes and

00:05:44.550 --> 00:05:46.350
stuff like that. When I was younger, I avoided

00:05:46.350 --> 00:05:48.209
that like the plague because it was boring. But

00:05:48.209 --> 00:05:50.230
now as I've grown and kind of matured into it,

00:05:50.230 --> 00:05:52.389
it's like actually seeing the movie be made is

00:05:52.389 --> 00:05:54.810
kind of half the fun because it is legit magic

00:05:54.810 --> 00:05:57.509
to be like, hey, there's like 3000 plus people

00:05:57.509 --> 00:06:00.129
making this one movie. And then you're like,

00:06:00.209 --> 00:06:02.209
oh, cool. How much do they shoot today? And you're

00:06:02.209 --> 00:06:05.290
like. uh they got 30 seconds of real time and

00:06:05.290 --> 00:06:08.589
you're like that dude sat in makeup for six hours

00:06:08.589 --> 00:06:12.230
or more and he got 30 seconds of screen time

00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:14.829
and you're like madness but then you're like

00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.959
That's called passion. That's legit passion.

00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.360
That is cool. I mean, it's amazing what it does

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.920
take. That anybody gets a movie made is amazing.

00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:25.879
But what we're going to do is we're going to

00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:27.540
generate these numbers randomly. Let's hear it.

00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:29.319
I'm ready. Can we get this going? We're going

00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:30.839
to do this one. We're going to make this happen.

00:06:30.860 --> 00:06:36.600
So our numbers between 1 and 100 and 1. All right.

00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:42.220
So 68. In 29. So 68 is our movie title. 29. What's

00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:46.360
our genre? All right. 29. Ooh, that'd be a lot

00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.800
of fun. Political drama slash political thriller.

00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.939
What do we got for a title? Is this gold? Is

00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:57.019
this gold? Political. 68. Whistle while you panic.

00:06:57.180 --> 00:07:02.139
Whistle. Oh, while you panic. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

00:07:02.220 --> 00:07:05.319
Political drama. Yeah, I got this. You ready

00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.149
for the tagline? It's a tagline already. Done.

00:07:08.170 --> 00:07:09.829
You ready for this? It's only because I have

00:07:09.829 --> 00:07:11.970
a friend. This used to be his quote, and I love

00:07:11.970 --> 00:07:13.730
this quote, and I just quote it back and forth

00:07:13.730 --> 00:07:14.829
with my friends all the time. The title sounds

00:07:14.829 --> 00:07:16.670
like a tagline. We're going to get that right

00:07:16.670 --> 00:07:18.569
out the gate. This is hard. Yeah, yeah. But you

00:07:18.569 --> 00:07:20.449
ready for the tagline? You ready for this? Have

00:07:20.449 --> 00:07:23.990
you tried panicking? Tell me it's not cold. Yes.

00:07:24.089 --> 00:07:26.810
Have you tried panicking? Tagline. Have you tried

00:07:26.810 --> 00:07:28.870
the panic? Have you tried panicking? So like

00:07:28.870 --> 00:07:31.129
he would always say it as a thing, like in a

00:07:31.129 --> 00:07:33.509
chaotic situation at work. So you'd be at work

00:07:33.509 --> 00:07:35.430
and it's like things be going wild. And you just

00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:37.069
look at you dead in the face. Have you tried

00:07:37.069 --> 00:07:39.170
panicking? And it's like the most calm thing.

00:07:39.290 --> 00:07:41.089
And he knows things are going wild. So it's like,

00:07:41.089 --> 00:07:43.269
it's the best line. So it's like, have you tried

00:07:43.269 --> 00:07:45.810
panicking? With the whistle while you panic?

00:07:45.829 --> 00:07:47.290
And then it's like, have you tried panicking?

00:07:47.350 --> 00:07:49.910
That's fun. That's a killer line. That's perfect.

00:07:50.730 --> 00:07:53.490
You know, it's a political thriller. Yes. Do

00:07:53.490 --> 00:07:55.569
you have a favorite political thriller? That

00:07:55.569 --> 00:07:57.850
may be an age question. Yeah, I don't. Because

00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:00.810
there was an era where they were hot in the 90s.

00:08:00.810 --> 00:08:02.389
Yeah, I was going to say like late 80s, early

00:08:02.389 --> 00:08:04.829
90s. You're talking like JFK, stuff like that.

00:08:04.949 --> 00:08:06.910
Well, no, no, no. I'm talking about, you know,

00:08:06.970 --> 00:08:10.870
like, well, one of my favorites, honestly, is

00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:14.050
Murder at 1600 with Wesley Snipes. There's a

00:08:14.050 --> 00:08:17.019
murder at the White House. Clint Eastwood was

00:08:17.019 --> 00:08:20.699
in a bunch. He's a thief and watches the president

00:08:20.699 --> 00:08:23.620
doing some dirty stuff. I like a political thriller

00:08:23.620 --> 00:08:27.579
because I feel like you get a lot of... Enemy

00:08:27.579 --> 00:08:30.100
of the State is maybe one of the best, probably.

00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.399
You know what I mean? What do you like about

00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.340
a political thriller? I think the political thriller,

00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:38.399
you definitely got to have tension. I think that's

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.240
number one thing. Because if you can't have ratcheting

00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.899
tension in a thriller... you're not being a thriller.

00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:45.820
Like that's the same rule with horror. Otherwise

00:08:45.820 --> 00:08:48.279
it just kind of becomes a comedy errors, which

00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.480
is not bad. It's just, that's what it needs.

00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.379
Right. And so it's like, if you fail that part,

00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.440
so it's like, so I think we need an inciting

00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.179
thing for sure. We need something that like who,

00:08:57.259 --> 00:09:00.120
who. what is the story that we're looking to

00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.039
tell because like i could see this as being a

00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.399
comedy of errors like just like some intern misses

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.080
something and like it's like they're supposed

00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.700
to get the president the thing this mcguffin

00:09:09.700 --> 00:09:13.539
feeling like the title makes this movie a comedy

00:09:13.539 --> 00:09:16.259
right i feel like okay i feel like fun it'll

00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:19.210
be a comedy out the gate but In the sense that

00:09:19.210 --> 00:09:21.330
you're playing it 100 % straight. You're not

00:09:21.330 --> 00:09:24.169
playing it like, oh, we're 21 Jump Street. You

00:09:24.169 --> 00:09:28.009
just talked about this. There's a near miss the

00:09:28.009 --> 00:09:29.970
whole time. Is that the fun thing about this?

00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:33.409
There's just this near miss. Everybody's miscommunicating,

00:09:33.429 --> 00:09:37.389
and that's the comedy. It's just like nobody's

00:09:37.389 --> 00:09:40.850
getting this one thing. Yes. There's some MacGuffin.

00:09:41.470 --> 00:09:44.950
somebody up in the president needs. It turns

00:09:44.950 --> 00:09:46.690
out it's like a donut or something like that.

00:09:46.690 --> 00:09:49.970
Going backwards. Yeah. It's just something wild.

00:09:50.409 --> 00:09:52.909
It comes down to catering. It comes down to catering.

00:09:52.909 --> 00:09:55.610
Now, do you want this within the traditional

00:09:55.610 --> 00:09:57.909
framework, let's say, of United States politics?

00:09:57.909 --> 00:09:59.990
You mentioned a president. Is that kind of where

00:09:59.990 --> 00:10:02.129
your energy is? We could. We could even do it

00:10:02.129 --> 00:10:04.809
really small, like localized. You could do your

00:10:04.809 --> 00:10:07.690
mayor. Welcome to Mooseport. It would be so funny

00:10:07.690 --> 00:10:11.629
to play it like that. We're in a... resort small

00:10:11.629 --> 00:10:15.870
resort town like what's fun about you know small

00:10:15.870 --> 00:10:19.129
resort town politics that might generate interest

00:10:19.129 --> 00:10:21.470
because you can make this indie what yeah what

00:10:21.470 --> 00:10:24.529
if we like let's say you filmed it all in a hotel

00:10:24.529 --> 00:10:27.009
like it's a political campaign and like what

00:10:27.009 --> 00:10:29.990
if what if there's a night of yeah like there's

00:10:29.990 --> 00:10:32.210
some event going down and it makes yeah it's

00:10:32.210 --> 00:10:35.419
a huge deal they need this thing Like it's the

00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:37.740
key to the city or some nonsense. You know what

00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:40.379
I'm saying? Like it's, it's some McGuffin. Oh,

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.639
I love it. Yeah. Right. Okay. Presenting the

00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.700
key to the city. That's a big deal. That's a

00:10:45.700 --> 00:10:48.840
big deal. Now, do you want to, oh, well now we

00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.480
have our conspiracy. Yeah. There's cocaine in

00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.460
it. Yeah. Why is that? Why is there's, you know,

00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.019
like small town bullshit secrets, but like, what

00:10:57.019 --> 00:10:59.220
is the key to the city is an actual key to like

00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:02.360
this safe or some nonsense. Oh, like there's

00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.600
another comedy. Yeah. Like they gave the wrong

00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:06.919
thing. No, no, no. Like it's the right key. Just

00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.980
the key has a secondary feature. Like it actually

00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:12.059
opens something. But they're like, we didn't

00:11:12.059 --> 00:11:14.399
know that it actually opened this thing. And

00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.799
that's where your cocaine or drugs are. Well,

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.179
interesting. OK, I love that. OK, I like this

00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:24.360
idea of it being in a hotel in the whole premise

00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.620
is the key to the city being delivered. And it's

00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:31.129
it's missing. But it also has a tie. To something

00:11:31.129 --> 00:11:33.009
that's criminal or something. Yeah, we could

00:11:33.009 --> 00:11:35.230
definitely almost do it like as a spy thing where

00:11:35.230 --> 00:11:37.950
like. I don't know. It feels like the key is

00:11:37.950 --> 00:11:40.870
being delivered by bodyguards or something like

00:11:40.870 --> 00:11:45.350
that. This is the most protected thing the city's

00:11:45.350 --> 00:11:49.429
got. Well, you know how in these things, you

00:11:49.429 --> 00:11:51.870
hear about that. The key to the city could be

00:11:51.870 --> 00:11:53.830
a big deal. You know what I mean? We don't just

00:11:53.830 --> 00:11:56.190
hand that to anybody. And there could be other

00:11:56.190 --> 00:11:59.149
underlying factors that are going on in a town

00:11:59.149 --> 00:12:01.960
like this that makes it kind of a... Yeah, like

00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.480
the person handing the keys, a corrupt official

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.740
or something. I don't know. We discovered it

00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:09.659
along the way. Is this movie rated R, PG -13?

00:12:09.659 --> 00:12:12.799
What are you feeling? I would love to say R just

00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.559
because then you get to use the swears. I like

00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.740
using the swears because adults be making movies.

00:12:18.059 --> 00:12:21.230
And I think... I think sometimes the problem

00:12:21.230 --> 00:12:22.750
is they want to cater to everybody. So like,

00:12:22.750 --> 00:12:24.470
we're going to make a PG 13 movie and it's like,

00:12:24.490 --> 00:12:27.190
it's not as bad, but I feel like sometimes you

00:12:27.190 --> 00:12:29.549
can actually elevate it because you can say adult

00:12:29.549 --> 00:12:31.629
things about the adult themes that you're like,

00:12:31.669 --> 00:12:33.929
well, we watered it down. So more people go watch

00:12:33.929 --> 00:12:36.769
this. And it's like when you try and cater to

00:12:36.769 --> 00:12:38.750
everybody, you cater to nobody. So why don't

00:12:38.750 --> 00:12:40.929
you just cater to yourself? So I don't know.

00:12:40.929 --> 00:12:44.230
I feel like an R rated buddy comedy or a comedy

00:12:44.230 --> 00:12:46.990
of errors with the tagline. Have you tried panicking?

00:12:47.149 --> 00:12:49.700
We can like, I don't know, Bullet Train meets

00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:53.679
John Wick meets Office. You have this. I love

00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.159
the energy of Bullet Train. Yeah. Because the

00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.980
idea that you have the small town, you have this

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:01.320
mission -driven thing, and you have so many bit

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.279
parts for characters. You can put anybody. Within

00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.019
a hotel framework, within a small town framework,

00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.500
whoever's receiving this award, which... So,

00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:14.179
all right. I'm seeing a main character who is

00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:18.159
a female and is frazzled and is just trying to

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.139
get this thing done. Caught in the middle. Intern?

00:13:21.899 --> 00:13:24.279
Or like administrator, assistant? Here's the

00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.519
thing. You're kind of behind the curtains on

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.240
this. I don't want to say too much, but I think

00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.620
that's an identifiable character is somebody

00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:36.820
who maybe knew intern, and this is a part of

00:13:36.820 --> 00:13:39.360
their responsibility. that maybe not to their

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.159
fault okay this key has been like taken and that's

00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:45.179
the problem you know what i mean it's been misplaced

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:47.159
but maybe it's been taken but like what if it's

00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:49.419
like the like somebody's like stoner kid like

00:13:49.419 --> 00:13:51.519
took it made a bong out of it you know just we

00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.519
somehow we turn it into a stoner comedy too boy

00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.960
oh boy that's that's a risk that's a risk for

00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.980
sure no i like the idea i like already i'm like

00:13:59.980 --> 00:14:02.440
in the tone of this yeah um for some reason i

00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:06.299
see like samara weaving okay i i I had a feeling

00:14:06.299 --> 00:14:08.539
you were going to say that. She is the coolest,

00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:12.200
and I think she's brilliant. I think she's great.

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.379
I did have another suggestion, and I want to

00:14:14.379 --> 00:14:16.820
get her name right, so I'm going to let you speak

00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:19.259
for me while I pull it up because I need to figure

00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:23.360
it out. So I say Samara Weaving because I was

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.200
impressed. I've been impressed with everything

00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:32.120
she's done, but Mayhem was incredible. Ready

00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:35.299
or not movies. Yeah. She just has this really

00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:38.500
cool commanding presence. I can see it. I think

00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:41.080
she's got the ability to play it straight and

00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.980
to play as fucking unhinged as you've ever seen

00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:49.299
on another level. She's funny. She is. Fierce.

00:14:49.460 --> 00:14:53.320
Definitely underrated. Seeing her restrain. And

00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:57.220
then I think she is generating notoriety for

00:14:57.220 --> 00:14:59.820
this scream. That she does in Ready or Not. I

00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:02.919
just saw the trailer. I'm super stoked. It's

00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:06.440
featured. It's this otherworldly thing. So that's

00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.139
why. Okay. Okay. I could see it. You have a strong

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:13.080
vote for my end. That kind of age range. I only

00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.299
had one. I immediately went to this person when

00:15:16.299 --> 00:15:18.940
we started thinking about it. And she's known

00:15:18.940 --> 00:15:21.340
for starring in The Bear and whatnot. It's Ayo,

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:25.279
Eddie Brie. Eddie Brie. Oh, boy. I think she

00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:29.649
would destroy this role. I think. She would nail

00:15:29.649 --> 00:15:32.090
this role because she has the chops to do it.

00:15:32.370 --> 00:15:35.649
She could hit everything. And also, I don't know,

00:15:35.669 --> 00:15:37.389
all the movies that she's been in recently have

00:15:37.389 --> 00:15:40.929
not been terribly great to her. Can we cast her

00:15:40.929 --> 00:15:43.649
as the lead and then have Samara Weaving, if

00:15:43.649 --> 00:15:49.850
we can, as her local friend? Just a friend? Let

00:15:49.850 --> 00:15:55.149
Samara Weaving go unhinged. Maybe she runs a

00:15:55.149 --> 00:15:57.169
local bar or something. There's a friendship.

00:15:57.899 --> 00:16:00.820
She, she has, but she's like, let, let some,

00:16:00.899 --> 00:16:02.879
like if she's not going to be restrained. If

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.740
she's going to be the wild person, can she be

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:08.370
like the local drug dealer? Like a bad guy? Not

00:16:08.370 --> 00:16:11.269
a bad guy. Every small town's got a drug dealer.

00:16:11.450 --> 00:16:13.370
Who's a drug dealer anymore? I don't know, but

00:16:13.370 --> 00:16:15.730
it'd be really funny if there was a drug dealer.

00:16:16.090 --> 00:16:18.149
She's out there for no reason? She's literally

00:16:18.149 --> 00:16:20.049
just every day you see her at the hotel hustling,

00:16:20.090 --> 00:16:21.549
trying to get this thing. What are you doing?

00:16:21.629 --> 00:16:24.710
There's a dispensary. Come on, man. I'm trying

00:16:24.710 --> 00:16:28.129
here. The funny drug dealer for no reason. Yeah,

00:16:28.149 --> 00:16:30.190
just this person who's like, I refuse to grow

00:16:30.190 --> 00:16:32.049
up, but I make enough money slinging on enough

00:16:32.049 --> 00:16:34.929
drugs here on this hotel corner that I'm fine.

00:16:35.129 --> 00:16:37.340
Don't worry. about it however it's so there's

00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:39.799
some mystery to it yeah yeah like she's she's

00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.120
she's our mystery character always gotta have

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:45.919
that um was it on in in keanu did you see i did

00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.100
not see keanu ferris like plays like a version

00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:51.679
of herself okay one of the funniest things i've

00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.460
ever seen in my life no i've not seen that that's

00:16:54.460 --> 00:16:58.000
incredible all right can you uh uh our lead actress

00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.740
again um oh you want to spell it say her name

00:17:00.740 --> 00:17:04.869
oh all right it's a -o -a -y -o At least I hope

00:17:04.869 --> 00:17:07.329
I'm saying it right. And then Eddie Bree, E -D

00:17:07.329 --> 00:17:12.450
-E -B -I -R -I. I was just brought into the world

00:17:12.450 --> 00:17:16.130
of that fucking beautiful show. Oh, it's chaos.

00:17:16.690 --> 00:17:18.250
And did you ever work in a restaurant? Well,

00:17:18.289 --> 00:17:20.750
that's the problem. I avoided it like the plague

00:17:20.750 --> 00:17:23.849
because I worked in hotels. Oh, yeah. And it's

00:17:23.849 --> 00:17:27.980
just a stressful fucking watch for me. yeah you

00:17:27.980 --> 00:17:30.259
know i feel that way like when i i watched the

00:17:30.259 --> 00:17:32.539
salmon or the slam and salmon now and laughed

00:17:32.539 --> 00:17:35.019
like i worked in a restaurant i was like oh yeah

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:38.700
this is oh god yeah i was like that or waiting

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:41.759
i was like you guys we have no idea but even

00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.119
in a comedy setting yeah it gives you the heebie

00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.539
-jeebies oh yeah that's interesting yeah all

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:51.119
right um i love that as that character and then

00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:57.289
samara weaving could be the local drug dealer

00:17:57.289 --> 00:17:59.730
on the corner. Just a friend that didn't want

00:17:59.730 --> 00:18:02.569
to grow up and somehow they're the saving grace.

00:18:02.670 --> 00:18:04.829
Somehow she's going to save us. I don't know

00:18:04.829 --> 00:18:07.769
how. What is an opportunity maybe, and again,

00:18:08.109 --> 00:18:10.789
there doesn't have to be a love interest, but

00:18:10.789 --> 00:18:13.430
could there be a counterpart for her? Maybe an

00:18:13.430 --> 00:18:16.869
ally on the other side of a political spectrum?

00:18:17.009 --> 00:18:19.730
Maybe it's not a romantic comedy or a romantic

00:18:19.730 --> 00:18:23.359
movie, but it's more like... What are we thinking?

00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.019
Is it a drama or did we say comedy? We said comedy,

00:18:26.059 --> 00:18:28.240
sorry. We're taking the political thriller and

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.680
we're adding a comedy mix to it. Political comedy

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:32.660
thriller. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so hold

00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:34.160
on. So instead of being like the keys to the

00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.880
city, what if it's like the two political campaigns

00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.720
are having like each in the hotel in separate

00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:42.400
events? Double booked. Yeah, they're in separate

00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.410
event rooms. This plays to my skills as a hotel

00:18:45.410 --> 00:18:47.650
person. It definitely plays to that. But you

00:18:47.650 --> 00:18:49.690
know what? Rules state you stick to what you

00:18:49.690 --> 00:18:52.730
know. So why wouldn't we? We need to maybe create

00:18:52.730 --> 00:18:55.230
a counterpart for our lead. What if Samara Weaving

00:18:55.230 --> 00:18:57.549
and her are like, they have the same job. They're

00:18:57.549 --> 00:18:59.569
best friends, but they have the same job. Put

00:18:59.569 --> 00:19:01.289
them against each other. Yes. There we go. We

00:19:01.289 --> 00:19:03.329
did it. I love your character of the funny drug

00:19:03.329 --> 00:19:05.349
dealer. So can we cast that real fast? Who do

00:19:05.349 --> 00:19:08.869
you want? Like, all right. Rule one for casting

00:19:08.869 --> 00:19:11.410
is always against type. I hate casting for type.

00:19:11.630 --> 00:19:13.470
So you've got to go somebody who you'd never

00:19:13.470 --> 00:19:16.170
suspect be like a drug dealer and just be hysterical

00:19:16.170 --> 00:19:20.569
to be like, wait, that's them. I think if. And

00:19:20.569 --> 00:19:25.670
she would do her actual voice, Emma Roberts from

00:19:25.670 --> 00:19:28.069
the Harry Potter series. Is that her name, Emma

00:19:28.069 --> 00:19:30.109
Roberts? Emma Watson. Emma Watson, sorry. Emma

00:19:30.109 --> 00:19:32.769
Watson. As the drug dealer? And as a British

00:19:32.769 --> 00:19:34.910
drug dealer, like a thug, a full -on British

00:19:34.910 --> 00:19:38.069
thug in this little northern Michigan town. How'd

00:19:38.069 --> 00:19:40.109
she get here? I want to tell that story, too.

00:19:40.289 --> 00:19:42.349
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Okay, so

00:19:42.349 --> 00:19:45.130
real question. Is a character like that, is that

00:19:45.130 --> 00:19:46.930
too ridiculous? Or is that like one of those,

00:19:47.009 --> 00:19:50.329
like, there's a bit role. With a celebrity like

00:19:50.329 --> 00:19:52.690
that, and you're like, I'd love a spinoff, like

00:19:52.690 --> 00:19:55.390
the Tropic Thunder spinoff for Tom Cruise. I

00:19:55.390 --> 00:19:58.490
think you could do it. I think the secret would

00:19:58.490 --> 00:20:02.450
be you almost have to disguise them. Yeah. To

00:20:02.450 --> 00:20:04.589
the point where you don't recognize them. And

00:20:04.589 --> 00:20:06.829
so when... Because the Tom Cruise... And Robert

00:20:06.829 --> 00:20:10.250
Pattinson. Yeah. When you reveal it, it's fun.

00:20:10.450 --> 00:20:12.289
And then you're like, that's with us forever.

00:20:12.289 --> 00:20:14.720
But if you... If you don't know, it doesn't take

00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.059
away. If it takes away from it, it ruins the

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:19.160
movie. Like it pulls you away from it because

00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:21.019
you're like, look, it's Emma Watson. And you're

00:20:21.019 --> 00:20:22.259
like, oh my God, it's Emma Watson. It's like,

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:24.980
that's awesome. But also like if they're playing

00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:28.460
a character that's not them, I feel like you

00:20:28.460 --> 00:20:29.660
kind of lose it. What about a character actor

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:32.920
that's just amazing? You know, like from TV to

00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.119
give a show. All right, you ready? I'm going

00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.380
to go out on another one. Have you seen Atlanta?

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:41.980
No. Oh, you have not seen Atlanta? The show from,

00:20:42.019 --> 00:20:45.309
oh my God. That's Donald Glover, right? Yes,

00:20:45.309 --> 00:20:48.329
sir. But it's not him, obviously, that I wanted.

00:20:48.430 --> 00:20:51.369
Because he'd be fun. He'd kill it. He'd be very

00:20:51.369 --> 00:20:53.309
overqualified. Hold on. Let me see. I want the

00:20:53.309 --> 00:20:56.470
cast here. Who's the cast? It wasn't them. That's

00:20:56.470 --> 00:20:59.970
who it was. I would do Zadie Beetz. Oh, Zazie

00:20:59.970 --> 00:21:01.730
Beetz? Is that who it was? Zazie Beetz. Okay,

00:21:01.809 --> 00:21:07.470
wait a second. Why? Okay. No, no, no. I am in

00:21:07.470 --> 00:21:10.839
love with this. this actor yeah um it's well

00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:13.500
documented on another podcast that i do like

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:15.980
i'm obsessed with her she's great we did slice

00:21:15.980 --> 00:21:18.859
oh is she a slice yeah do i need to watch it

00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:21.059
all right no i've not seen it but no uh just

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:23.480
from that show she's great she was also what

00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:25.940
she was domino in the deadpool 2 movie so it's

00:21:25.940 --> 00:21:27.420
like she's done some stuff but it's like yeah

00:21:27.420 --> 00:21:30.339
no she needs to do some more stuff and uh i don't

00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:31.900
know okay feels like it'd be a fun way to get

00:21:31.900 --> 00:21:33.880
her out there and also she could still do the

00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.460
british accent yeah i think I'd like for this

00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:39.779
character to be British. Or, no, I'm going to

00:21:39.779 --> 00:21:41.160
hit you with the... Because I think she actually

00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.460
has a German heritage. Her character in Atlanta

00:21:43.460 --> 00:21:45.759
actually does. And accent. Yeah, so she could

00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.319
do a German accent. So it would be really fun

00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:50.859
to have a German accent in a small town. Yeah,

00:21:50.859 --> 00:21:53.000
whatever it is. Just out of place. That's our

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.660
local person. Because we have the running guy

00:21:55.660 --> 00:21:58.039
who smells like apple juice around Traverse City.

00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:00.799
There's a guy who smells like apple juice? Didn't

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.640
know. That's a whole thing. That's a whole thing.

00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.259
I love this. So we are in a hotel. They've double

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:09.940
booked these these type of fundraiser things.

00:22:10.059 --> 00:22:14.140
Yes. I always like when there is I mean, I think

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:16.880
we need a bad. So we need the thriller element.

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:21.210
So are you feeling like could there be. You know,

00:22:21.230 --> 00:22:23.509
a murder is always shocking. A murder is always

00:22:23.509 --> 00:22:26.109
shocking. You know, and then that's what brings

00:22:26.109 --> 00:22:28.089
them together ultimately if you want it to be

00:22:28.089 --> 00:22:29.910
a feel -good type of thing. Do we want it to

00:22:29.910 --> 00:22:31.769
be feel -good? Well, Only Murders in the Building

00:22:31.769 --> 00:22:34.509
seems to be like a show that works well within

00:22:34.509 --> 00:22:36.829
the confines of like all this thing, this whole

00:22:36.829 --> 00:22:39.849
thing happens. But, you know, think about, you

00:22:39.849 --> 00:22:41.589
know, depending on the hotel floor rooms, like

00:22:41.589 --> 00:22:44.069
you could have a litany of stories happening.

00:22:44.529 --> 00:22:46.670
Yeah, yeah. It depends on how you want to tell

00:22:46.670 --> 00:22:51.000
it. I feel like... Who do you want to be the

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.579
star star? Like, do we go with Ayo? Because I

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:55.759
feel like she definitely carries it for sure.

00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:59.980
It may be if you could do it as like a buddy

00:22:59.980 --> 00:23:02.720
comedy. Oh, so you're thinking like they're both

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:05.119
small town and they both got like hired for these

00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.140
separate events. Or what if they're both working

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:13.400
for the hotel? I think the idea that they're

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:15.079
working for their candidates is more interesting.

00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:17.140
I think so as well, but I'm thinking what if

00:23:17.140 --> 00:23:18.880
they're for the hotel but it's still something

00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.559
to do with... It's more fun as the client to

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:24.400
get screwed over than the hotel. The hotel is

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:27.740
just stressed. They're upset because they fucked

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:30.960
up and they're just covering their ass. That

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.799
could be its own separate movie if you want.

00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:34.839
Probably upsetting and triggering for a lot of

00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:39.680
people. The idea that they're just trying to

00:23:40.430 --> 00:23:42.990
uh you know make the best of this and then a

00:23:42.990 --> 00:23:45.690
an incident happens like you need something to

00:23:45.690 --> 00:23:48.049
like bring what is what's the inciting incident

00:23:48.049 --> 00:23:50.609
what if like the votes are stolen or something

00:23:50.609 --> 00:23:52.230
like they're gonna read it out of a box like

00:23:52.230 --> 00:23:54.710
the envelope is stolen well let's say they're

00:23:54.710 --> 00:23:56.490
having fundraisers that's always fun because

00:23:56.490 --> 00:23:58.369
money is involved and then you have rich people

00:23:58.369 --> 00:24:00.910
oh yeah you know what i mean so what rich people

00:24:00.910 --> 00:24:04.769
problems are coming into this situation so we

00:24:04.769 --> 00:24:10.230
need i think a a dude Who's a bad, who's, like,

00:24:10.230 --> 00:24:12.990
making it all happen. And this is, like, a good,

00:24:13.009 --> 00:24:15.369
juicy role. A good, juicy role. And let's say

00:24:15.369 --> 00:24:18.930
it's a major donor in the community. Ooh, local

00:24:18.930 --> 00:24:22.309
head. You know, and who has, like, who, and who's,

00:24:22.329 --> 00:24:25.950
like, fiendishness is just outed because of this

00:24:25.950 --> 00:24:29.269
thing. So it's this, whatever this local person

00:24:29.269 --> 00:24:33.289
is who maybe on the outside is good and is just

00:24:33.289 --> 00:24:36.049
a total fiend. And that's the person that, like,

00:24:36.049 --> 00:24:39.210
kicks. Because they're fundraisers. So there's

00:24:39.210 --> 00:24:43.390
tuxedos. Because you can have all these different

00:24:43.390 --> 00:24:47.109
things. We booked a comedian who's PG. And then

00:24:47.109 --> 00:24:48.890
there's other hotel stuff. But getting to the

00:24:48.890 --> 00:24:52.009
inciting incident, I think it would be cool if

00:24:52.009 --> 00:24:56.750
it's tied to this big bad. Are you thinking the

00:24:56.750 --> 00:24:59.730
big bad is one of these guys who owns the town

00:24:59.730 --> 00:25:03.609
in the sense of what is the movie I'm thinking

00:25:03.609 --> 00:25:06.910
of? The Roadhouse? Oh, yeah. Brad Wesley. Yeah.

00:25:06.910 --> 00:25:08.809
Brad Wesley type. I'm not saying necessarily

00:25:08.809 --> 00:25:10.750
Brad Wesley type, but I'm just saying like in

00:25:10.750 --> 00:25:13.029
the arc of his character, like he kind of owns

00:25:13.029 --> 00:25:15.289
a town and it's his way or the highway. So what

00:25:15.289 --> 00:25:17.950
if it's. But there's a benevolence. Like, I think

00:25:17.950 --> 00:25:20.450
it's more fun if like if the. What if he's like

00:25:20.450 --> 00:25:23.329
the news anchor? Like he's he's he's like a form

00:25:23.329 --> 00:25:25.529
like he's a he was a big star actor. And now

00:25:25.529 --> 00:25:28.049
like he's, you know, a local celebrity, a local

00:25:28.049 --> 00:25:31.549
celebrity. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's a reclusive

00:25:31.549 --> 00:25:35.339
celebrity who is drawn out. Yeah. Like. Maybe.

00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:38.779
I could see it. And they die or something? Again,

00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:41.000
we're surrounded by this here, which is kind

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.119
of interesting. You play into your strengths.

00:25:42.900 --> 00:25:46.680
That is interesting, but I like the idea of...

00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:51.240
Small town celebrity? Yeah, that would be...

00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:54.039
There's some archetypes for that. So the small

00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:57.140
town celebrity comes out who everybody thinks...

00:25:57.140 --> 00:26:00.839
I'm imagining a weatherman. I think maybe it's

00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:05.059
somebody who rarely makes appearances, but That's

00:26:05.059 --> 00:26:07.180
the disturbance. Okay. They make an appearance.

00:26:07.180 --> 00:26:09.559
It's notable. This is like a Bruce Wayne showing

00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:11.579
up at your house party kind of deal. Oh, and

00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:14.059
what's happening is like everybody's thinking,

00:26:14.099 --> 00:26:15.980
well, this person's like there to see who they're

00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:18.980
going to give money to. And so like that throws

00:26:18.980 --> 00:26:22.599
everything off balance. Okay. So now it becomes

00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:24.240
a story of like how they're going to sway this

00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:28.279
rich blood. But what you find out is more sinister.

00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:31.079
Okay. That's the idea. So maybe it helps to cast

00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.869
the rich. ex -celebrity i was gonna suggest john

00:26:34.869 --> 00:26:37.250
ham and maybe somebody who's playing themselves

00:26:37.250 --> 00:26:40.410
i think john ham would be great and he's let's

00:26:40.410 --> 00:26:42.890
say what kind of celebrity is he maybe it could

00:26:42.890 --> 00:26:45.369
be an author or somebody like like something

00:26:45.369 --> 00:26:49.089
he's a he's a he's a retired author and just

00:26:49.089 --> 00:26:51.890
he's been resting on his laurels yeah i could

00:26:51.890 --> 00:26:54.849
see that yeah so john ham and an ascot with like

00:26:54.849 --> 00:26:57.779
a little like pocket square heck yeah All right.

00:26:57.819 --> 00:26:59.779
Jon Hamm is the bad guy. I don't know if it has

00:26:59.779 --> 00:27:01.279
to be him. That's my suggestion. Yeah, I love

00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:03.559
it. I love it because he's so charming. He's

00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:05.480
got the charisma for sure. And he would have

00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:08.799
so much fun, I think, just being ruthless somehow.

00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:11.259
Yeah. How do we make him ruthless? Like, what

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:14.740
is his end goal? So, like, he's our big bad.

00:27:14.980 --> 00:27:17.940
Well, if he's an author who has maybe, you know.

00:27:20.429 --> 00:27:22.730
Maybe he's tied to something that nobody knows

00:27:22.730 --> 00:27:26.730
is really bad. Yeah. There's a new project going

00:27:26.730 --> 00:27:29.009
out that everybody's excited about, but it's

00:27:29.009 --> 00:27:31.769
really bad. He's fundraising. Oh, okay. Here's

00:27:31.769 --> 00:27:33.750
what it is. He's going to build something. He's

00:27:33.750 --> 00:27:35.730
an entrepreneur. He's building a business or

00:27:35.730 --> 00:27:37.750
something. And the whole time, everybody thinks

00:27:37.750 --> 00:27:40.210
it's somebody else, but it's him. Turns out it's

00:27:40.210 --> 00:27:42.009
him. He's the one poisoning the waterhole. He's

00:27:42.009 --> 00:27:45.069
written some... He's used his talents because

00:27:45.069 --> 00:27:47.150
he hasn't written in years, and he's used...

00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:52.140
like writing to create a whole like a whole fiction

00:27:52.140 --> 00:27:55.180
so so what you're suggesting i know this is flimsy

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:57.059
but maybe it's interesting so you have to think

00:27:57.059 --> 00:27:59.359
like what's the thing that's being developed

00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:01.460
in a small town that's more everybody what if

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:05.799
he's a non -profit like ceo or some nonsense

00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:08.299
or is the silent backer of a non -profit yeah

00:28:08.299 --> 00:28:10.559
yeah like he's the silent backer of a non -profit

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:13.019
and everybody just knows that he's got deep pockets

00:28:13.019 --> 00:28:15.200
but nobody knows what from and it turns out like

00:28:15.609 --> 00:28:18.049
You know, we reveal it over the course of whatever,

00:28:18.210 --> 00:28:20.630
like he's actually turns out like an assassin

00:28:20.630 --> 00:28:22.470
or some nonsense, you know? Oh, interesting.

00:28:22.630 --> 00:28:25.069
You know, because it's a political thriller.

00:28:25.089 --> 00:28:26.809
And like, so where's the thrill part? Because

00:28:26.809 --> 00:28:29.109
right now, like we were still doing, I could

00:28:29.109 --> 00:28:31.309
still see the comedy of errors kind of happening

00:28:31.309 --> 00:28:33.789
within this. I'm like, there's maybe straight

00:28:33.789 --> 00:28:36.309
a little bit because we could simplify it. And

00:28:36.309 --> 00:28:39.450
it's just two complete competing incident to

00:28:39.450 --> 00:28:44.940
competing. And then this high profile donor recluse

00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:47.940
comes in and causes havoc. I love the idea of

00:28:47.940 --> 00:28:49.660
like, so maybe simplify that. So what if the

00:28:49.660 --> 00:28:51.700
whole thing is like, they have, they each have

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:53.619
a room, but like the room is one of those ones

00:28:53.619 --> 00:28:55.160
that like has a divider and they literally just

00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:56.920
have a stage on each side, but like, there's

00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:58.579
no, they can't put the divider up. Like they

00:28:58.579 --> 00:29:00.839
just, they can't do it. So like you have like

00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:02.859
your political opponents literally across the

00:29:02.859 --> 00:29:05.559
room from each other. And like, this is where

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:07.660
we get our leads interacting with each other

00:29:07.660 --> 00:29:09.880
because they're trying to like snipe donors from

00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:14.630
these tables. Well, what is the intrigue? Does

00:29:14.630 --> 00:29:19.250
it have to be bad? I just assumed it had to be

00:29:19.250 --> 00:29:22.029
that this person had to be bad. No, I think step

00:29:22.029 --> 00:29:26.269
one, what if one of the politicians isn't there

00:29:26.269 --> 00:29:30.460
on time? We start with Ayo. pounding on a door

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:32.279
trying to wake this politician up and they answer

00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:34.759
the door is one of them yeah just like cocaine

00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:38.099
riddled like okay well we're in a hotel like

00:29:38.099 --> 00:29:40.180
we're in a hotel like we're doing a comedy of

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:42.420
errors and we need tension lots and lots of tension

00:29:42.420 --> 00:29:44.880
so everything's being ramped up so i think if

00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:47.039
we start it right we start out very peaceful

00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.859
and idyllic right we in a movie sense you would

00:29:49.859 --> 00:29:52.480
pan in on the hotel right and you're like and

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.140
then like you go into the event center and everybody's

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:56.839
setting all up and everything's kind of just

00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.039
going organized chaos and then And we like legit

00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.900
cut to just her pounding on the door. So just

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:07.759
to solidify that we have AO's character. Her

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:12.579
candidate is a mess. Yeah, I think so. Do you

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:14.579
want to take a stab at who that candidate is?

00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:17.000
We talk in male or female because I think female

00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.940
would be fun because we don't ever get to see

00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:21.900
coked out female politicians. That's great. I

00:30:21.900 --> 00:30:24.160
just like a Michelle Pfeiffer as a coked out

00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:28.089
female politician would be a hell. Yeah. Oh,

00:30:28.109 --> 00:30:29.430
my God. When's the last time you've seen Michelle

00:30:29.430 --> 00:30:31.190
Pfeiffer coked out? And you're going to say Scarface,

00:30:31.269 --> 00:30:33.230
and I'll be like, you're right. That's great.

00:30:33.710 --> 00:30:37.349
Perfect. Perfect casting. All right. And Samara

00:30:37.349 --> 00:30:40.589
Weaving, is it funnier that you have the exact

00:30:40.589 --> 00:30:43.960
opposite, a real uptight? But again, we're going

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:45.799
to go against type. So I feel like we got to

00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:47.559
get somebody who you would imagine to be like

00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:50.660
a wild person, like just as a character. We just

00:30:50.660 --> 00:30:53.259
talked about him and maybe to give a little Jack

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:56.339
Black. Oh, Jack Black. Nah, I don't think I give

00:30:56.339 --> 00:30:58.059
Jack Black that chance. I could see a Paul Rudd

00:30:58.059 --> 00:31:00.920
doing it like Parks and Rec style. Just this

00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:03.559
innocent. Oh, and he's got good. He's got good.

00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.440
Yeah, I guess. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And just

00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:08.880
really straight laced. Maybe do something. Don't

00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:12.839
even let him have something. Yeah. He gets zero

00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:15.720
jokes. Because he's known for being such a nice

00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:21.559
guy. Uh -huh. He's an asshole. No. Yeah, I like

00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:24.299
Paul Rudd, but maybe try to, like, no jokes,

00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:27.980
no nothing, deadpan. Just deadpan. Yeah. Just

00:31:27.980 --> 00:31:33.180
stays by the rules. I want him to do, who's the

00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:35.160
comedian? Why Norman? Why do you want him to

00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:38.220
space on his last name? SNL. Norm Macdonald.

00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:40.240
Oh, Norm Macdonald. Yeah, I want him to do his

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:42.859
best Norm Macdonald. That's what I want. Oh,

00:31:42.859 --> 00:31:45.079
yeah, Paul Rudd doing Norm Macdonald. Would be

00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:51.700
amazing. Or even more intensely doing, you know,

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:53.299
the other side of that would be Sam Kinison.

00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.619
I was thinking of Stephen Wright. Okay. Like,

00:31:56.619 --> 00:31:58.839
even more muted. Okay. Like, yeah, I don't know

00:31:58.839 --> 00:32:01.339
what you're talking about. And if it wasn't,

00:32:01.339 --> 00:32:04.819
I mean. I guess Mark Maron would be pretty fun

00:32:04.819 --> 00:32:06.680
if it wasn't Paul Rudd. Mark Maron would be pretty

00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:08.440
fun. Oh, Maron would be great. He'd be great

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:11.920
in the role. So I feel like that's our list.

00:32:11.980 --> 00:32:14.079
Paul Rudd, Mark Maron, either of those guys would

00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:15.660
knock this out of the park for sure. That's great.

00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:17.539
I can see Jon Hamm doing it, but it feels too

00:32:17.539 --> 00:32:20.240
difficult. Well, no, Jon Hamm's the retired author.

00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:24.680
Yeah, yeah, a recluse billionaire. Yeah, and

00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:27.500
it's kind of fun, the idea that this thing draws

00:32:27.500 --> 00:32:31.039
this mystery person out. And then what would

00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:34.000
people do like working in a nonprofit? Yeah.

00:32:34.059 --> 00:32:36.339
I know what you do to get close to people. Yeah.

00:32:36.420 --> 00:32:39.420
It's how many, how many sneaky painful fun. Yeah.

00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:42.460
How many, like where, where, who's he going to

00:32:42.460 --> 00:32:43.759
choose? I feel like we've got to have a lot.

00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:45.900
And why is he here? We got to have them both

00:32:45.900 --> 00:32:48.180
actors, like somehow try and break into his room.

00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:51.680
Right. Oh, wait. So he's staying over. Yeah.

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:54.019
Oh, interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wait.

00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:58.480
Oh, so the big fracas is like somebody. book

00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:02.539
the top floor. We couldn't do it. That's one

00:33:02.539 --> 00:33:05.380
of the problems. This guy's done it. We don't

00:33:05.380 --> 00:33:07.720
know who it is in the pseudonym. Something like

00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:11.720
Harry Armpits. Like a T .S. Eliot. T .S. is coming

00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:15.920
down. Oh, that's cool. They try to break in.

00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:21.670
A big crux of the movie is trying to... figure

00:33:21.670 --> 00:33:24.410
out you know if if this person's going to donate

00:33:24.410 --> 00:33:26.470
who they are who they're going to be attention

00:33:26.470 --> 00:33:30.910
to while you have the tension that ao's character

00:33:30.910 --> 00:33:35.049
and is having but samara yeah we didn't really

00:33:35.049 --> 00:33:38.410
talk about her character too much so um should

00:33:38.410 --> 00:33:42.109
she have some um we need to figure out her her

00:33:42.109 --> 00:33:44.670
tension if it's a buddy comedy right i feel like

00:33:44.670 --> 00:33:46.809
somehow she's also trying to get into the room

00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:49.279
but it's like for a separate reason. And like,

00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:50.940
they're competing against each other. I feel

00:33:50.940 --> 00:33:52.819
like is we're going to have, maybe she, maybe

00:33:52.819 --> 00:33:56.819
Samara weaving had a very checkered past and

00:33:56.819 --> 00:33:59.799
she aligns herself with Paul Rudd's doing Norm

00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:01.859
Macdonald because he's so straight and she is

00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:06.799
so in the, the story is of her unraveling. Ah,

00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:09.260
okay. Because that's fun to see. So she gets

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:11.659
to start out with, as we talked about at the

00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:15.920
beginning, repressing and it's, uber repressed

00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:19.900
by the numbers um and and that's part of the

00:34:19.900 --> 00:34:22.420
comedy so what you're thinking is like her her

00:34:22.420 --> 00:34:24.920
call to action is like paul rudd's character

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:28.030
is just is not taking this No, she's keeping

00:34:28.030 --> 00:34:30.829
everything from him. She's unraveling and he

00:34:30.829 --> 00:34:33.329
can't know. So she's got to fix her makeup all

00:34:33.329 --> 00:34:35.889
the time. She's campaign manager right now. He

00:34:35.889 --> 00:34:38.590
knows nothing about what's going on. It's like,

00:34:38.809 --> 00:34:41.489
at times, Mrs. Doubtfire going back and forth

00:34:41.489 --> 00:34:44.110
in the restaurant. I can see it. He can know

00:34:44.110 --> 00:34:46.750
nothing about this. She's just keeping a bunch

00:34:46.750 --> 00:34:47.610
of secrets from him. And it's brought out to

00:34:47.610 --> 00:34:49.650
her because they're childhood friends. That'd

00:34:49.650 --> 00:34:52.289
be gold. That's gold. I'm down. So there's comedy

00:34:52.289 --> 00:34:55.710
there. And then Ayo gets to play to, I think,

00:34:55.980 --> 00:35:01.119
Side note, I know this is not about TV, but everybody

00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:04.840
on The Bear is so sad. Do you know what I mean?

00:35:05.099 --> 00:35:08.420
Their characters, and I truly believe this, Logan,

00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:11.840
in my heart, all of those actors are in their

00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:16.519
hearts really sad. Especially the lead. You watch

00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:19.099
interviews with them, they're sad. That's not

00:35:19.099 --> 00:35:22.659
playing. They're the saddest. most realist, most

00:35:22.659 --> 00:35:25.539
profound group of actors I've ever seen. It's

00:35:25.539 --> 00:35:28.239
quite a show. That show kicks you in your nuts.

00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.619
It does not let up either. In your soul. Even

00:35:30.619 --> 00:35:32.699
the good episodes are downer episodes. And you're

00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:35.059
like, geez. And it's intense. I honestly stayed

00:35:35.059 --> 00:35:37.260
away from it for a while. I had to let it go

00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:39.420
for a bit. I crossed the living room and dip

00:35:39.420 --> 00:35:41.260
in and I'm like, holy shit. Anyway. Also, it

00:35:41.260 --> 00:35:43.880
ruined me saying yes, chef. My wife hated me

00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.780
for that. Do you know? Well, yeah, that's used

00:35:46.780 --> 00:35:52.179
in the... in the gay community to, uh, to admit

00:35:52.179 --> 00:35:55.940
that, uh, Hey, good job. You know, I can't wait

00:35:55.940 --> 00:35:59.039
to hear it. I hope I'm working for it. So I like

00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:02.920
the idea of Jon Hamm and this retired author.

00:36:03.420 --> 00:36:07.480
Um, and we have, so have we fulfilled the idea

00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:10.780
of what is it? Thriller intrigue? I don't really.

00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:12.400
Yeah. Yeah. I feel like, cause the whole thing

00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:14.860
is about, but it's a comedy thriller. Yeah. Yeah.

00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:17.210
Yeah. It's which. That's a hard genre. Yeah.

00:36:17.250 --> 00:36:19.449
That's a tough genre. Have we done that? I don't

00:36:19.449 --> 00:36:23.289
know. Have you seen her alibi? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:36:23.429 --> 00:36:26.130
I'm going back. Yeah. It's possible. So we need,

00:36:26.170 --> 00:36:29.670
I think we need, um, we need a director. We need

00:36:29.670 --> 00:36:34.469
Jon Hamm to be bad. We need a director. Oh, Jay

00:36:34.469 --> 00:36:37.650
Roach. Jay Roach. Okay. Give me other movies.

00:36:37.750 --> 00:36:40.429
Well, um, Rush Hour. Did he do Rush Hour? Is

00:36:40.429 --> 00:36:43.300
that who it was? We can look it up. We have the

00:36:43.300 --> 00:36:46.639
technology. Yeah. I'm just thinking out loud.

00:36:46.739 --> 00:36:50.920
Yeah. No. Right away. Newer directors maybe.

00:36:55.380 --> 00:36:58.219
Just as a weird idea, I'd like to see Ryan Coogler

00:36:58.219 --> 00:37:00.780
do it. Ooh. I was honestly kind of like I was

00:37:00.780 --> 00:37:02.099
right there. I was thinking kind of like that.

00:37:02.099 --> 00:37:05.059
Just because of his atmosphere. Yeah. But he's

00:37:05.059 --> 00:37:08.579
just that's overqualified maybe. I don't know

00:37:08.579 --> 00:37:11.420
because you never know with some guys. Okay.

00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:13.320
I mean, if we're going to be clinical about this,

00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:16.019
we have a little time. I mean, we're doing okay.

00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:19.659
We have 30 minutes left. Plenty of time. The

00:37:19.659 --> 00:37:25.840
movie feels kind of mad cappy to me. All right.

00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:29.639
You ready? I think I have the saving grace in

00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:31.900
the direction that we need. Yeah. I think we

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:35.969
asked the Daniels. Interesting. You know the

00:37:35.969 --> 00:37:38.409
ones who did Everything Everywhere All at Once?

00:37:38.590 --> 00:37:41.809
Yeah. I think those guys could handle this chaos

00:37:41.809 --> 00:37:45.409
of this movie and also land all the fine points.

00:37:45.909 --> 00:37:48.949
That's interesting. Yes. They also did Swiss

00:37:48.949 --> 00:37:51.210
Army Man, if I remember correctly. That's a great

00:37:51.210 --> 00:37:55.309
one. When I saw that movie, I for sure, I told

00:37:55.309 --> 00:37:57.389
all my friends, it deserves all the awards. And

00:37:57.389 --> 00:37:58.809
one of my friends was like, even the worst movie

00:37:58.809 --> 00:38:01.170
award? I was like, yes, but also the best movie

00:38:01.170 --> 00:38:03.710
award. Swiss Army Man? Yeah. What the hell is

00:38:03.710 --> 00:38:06.550
wrong with those people? Nothing. No, there's

00:38:06.550 --> 00:38:08.789
a lot more. That is one of the best movies I've

00:38:08.789 --> 00:38:10.070
ever seen. That movie hits on the feels for sure.

00:38:10.590 --> 00:38:14.780
Well, it's hilarious. It is great. But also,

00:38:14.820 --> 00:38:17.260
back to the thing, I think that they could definitely

00:38:17.260 --> 00:38:19.860
make that happen. I think that they can bring

00:38:19.860 --> 00:38:23.539
this wild, zany idea of a comedy of errors happening

00:38:23.539 --> 00:38:25.360
inside of a political thriller trapped inside

00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:30.320
of a hotel to life. Jay Roach, I'm trying to

00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:33.099
go like, so he's known for the Austin Powers

00:38:33.099 --> 00:38:36.639
movies. He did Meet the Parents. Most recently,

00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:39.889
and we watched this, he did The Roses. I have

00:38:39.889 --> 00:38:41.730
not seen the Russians. With Cumberbatch. And

00:38:41.730 --> 00:38:44.809
he's good with, you know, ensemble. All right,

00:38:44.809 --> 00:38:49.030
all right. I don't know. He's great with humor,

00:38:49.190 --> 00:38:52.030
with this kind of humor. So I went a little older

00:38:52.030 --> 00:38:53.789
school because he's been around a while. That's

00:38:53.789 --> 00:38:55.210
fine. I think those are two really good ideas.

00:38:55.210 --> 00:38:57.849
I think those are two really solid choices. Holy

00:38:57.849 --> 00:39:04.769
cow. That's really good. Music -wise, do you

00:39:04.769 --> 00:39:09.010
hear something kind of... Well, I'm feeling like

00:39:09.010 --> 00:39:10.889
if we're going thriller, we got to go something

00:39:10.889 --> 00:39:14.329
tight paced for sure. Yeah. But it's a comedy.

00:39:14.449 --> 00:39:17.090
Yeah. But that doesn't mean you can't have pacing.

00:39:18.849 --> 00:39:22.489
Okay. So maybe do music against type as well.

00:39:22.670 --> 00:39:25.489
Music against type. Maybe. Because I mean, we're,

00:39:25.530 --> 00:39:27.670
we're setting a hotel. So like, it depends on

00:39:27.670 --> 00:39:30.090
like setting, like I'm, I'm kind of interested

00:39:30.090 --> 00:39:32.289
in expanding on our casting a little bit because

00:39:32.289 --> 00:39:36.840
we're so, um, An integral person to the hotel

00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:39.820
chaos can be a fun character. Who are you thinking

00:39:39.820 --> 00:39:42.679
for hotel manager? A hotel GM, a Billy Zane.

00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:47.739
Yeah, Billy Zane for sure. And that could be

00:39:47.739 --> 00:39:50.059
a good link to some of the hotel chaos. Yeah,

00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:52.019
because the hotel chaos I think is going to feed

00:39:52.019 --> 00:39:53.539
into the rest of the thriller bits. Could Jon

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:58.980
Hamm have a personal assistant? Oh, for sure.

00:39:58.980 --> 00:40:02.360
Like a really eccentric... Like, he's not a guru.

00:40:02.739 --> 00:40:06.139
I don't know. He has a guru he brings with him.

00:40:06.139 --> 00:40:07.119
Because now I'm thinking about Austin Powers

00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.380
and Mike Myers. But, like, does he, you know,

00:40:10.380 --> 00:40:14.280
to allow for some different energy around him,

00:40:14.380 --> 00:40:17.300
to allow for some mystery, have him have, like,

00:40:17.300 --> 00:40:21.420
a PA, a personal assistant, somebody. Somebody.

00:40:21.659 --> 00:40:25.460
But maybe with a really wild quirk. Of their

00:40:25.460 --> 00:40:28.800
own. Of their own. That, like, makes him interesting

00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:32.809
and strange by proxy. a partner and like a husband

00:40:32.809 --> 00:40:36.469
wife you know could could be like that oh yeah

00:40:36.469 --> 00:40:38.909
because like if we're gonna play him to be this

00:40:38.909 --> 00:40:41.070
like recluse you know like nobody knows anything

00:40:41.070 --> 00:40:44.369
about the mystique of this author john ham or

00:40:44.369 --> 00:40:48.809
whatever he ends up being yeah i i have a perfect

00:40:48.809 --> 00:40:52.070
example yeah it's from a movie i just watched

00:40:52.070 --> 00:40:54.010
called don't mess with grandma and i'm gonna

00:40:54.010 --> 00:40:58.969
because i'm obsessed uh yeah With the character

00:40:58.969 --> 00:41:05.489
of Pam, played by S. Holdmoser. And they are

00:41:05.489 --> 00:41:10.769
just amazing. Okay. And they play the love interest

00:41:10.769 --> 00:41:14.030
to Michael Jai White, in a way. Okay. Very much

00:41:14.030 --> 00:41:19.309
younger. And just an awesome, fun character.

00:41:19.610 --> 00:41:23.639
They're me -cute as a fight. And they're much

00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:26.920
smaller. I mean, it's just... Are you thinking

00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:29.920
like just manager? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it could

00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:33.619
be a bodyguard. Because of their stature, they're

00:41:33.619 --> 00:41:36.340
like, again... Because Jon Hamm's six foot plus,

00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:39.480
I'm sure, right? Yeah, I think S. Holtmoser,

00:41:39.579 --> 00:41:41.880
and forgive me if I keep butchering the name,

00:41:41.940 --> 00:41:45.519
but S. would be perfect as a cool bodyguard.

00:41:45.780 --> 00:41:47.960
That'd be fun. To add some mystery to the Jon

00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:50.780
Hamm character, which could either way make them...

00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:53.539
like a good person or a bad person all right

00:41:53.539 --> 00:41:55.099
because we haven't figured out what our thriller

00:41:55.099 --> 00:41:57.079
aspect is i was gonna say that was the next part

00:41:57.079 --> 00:41:58.820
i was like because i think we got we got our

00:41:58.820 --> 00:42:01.099
actors we've done more than one we definitely

00:42:01.099 --> 00:42:04.380
have figured out our cast pretty well we gotta

00:42:04.380 --> 00:42:06.219
figure out our hotel manager but that's no big

00:42:06.219 --> 00:42:08.780
deal no we did that's oh that's our hotel manager

00:42:08.780 --> 00:42:10.500
right there all right all right billy's name

00:42:10.500 --> 00:42:13.039
is our hotel manager so that's fun because you

00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:15.659
can like add to the hotel all right so we got

00:42:15.659 --> 00:42:19.010
that uh Which director are you thinking? Who

00:42:19.010 --> 00:42:21.190
are we thinking? I like your idea of the Daniels.

00:42:21.190 --> 00:42:24.590
I think the Daniels can do it. There's good energy.

00:42:24.829 --> 00:42:27.949
I see this movie as having pop and energy. You

00:42:27.949 --> 00:42:32.130
know what I mean? Madcap. There's a lot going

00:42:32.130 --> 00:42:34.070
on, but I think it can be contained. We just

00:42:34.070 --> 00:42:37.170
have to figure out what the central conceit is

00:42:37.170 --> 00:42:39.909
because you have the competition for this donor

00:42:39.909 --> 00:42:42.230
and that's kind of the main thrust of the comedy

00:42:42.230 --> 00:42:43.969
of things going wrong with the campaign people.

00:42:46.460 --> 00:42:50.900
What could be the thing that makes this a thriller?

00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:53.860
Yeah. There's got to be like some countdown or

00:42:53.860 --> 00:42:56.699
something happening, right? Because ratcheting

00:42:56.699 --> 00:42:58.619
tension, usually there's something we're building

00:42:58.619 --> 00:43:01.659
to. So like they need it by midnight or something.

00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:04.659
Like why? What's going down? With money involved.

00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:08.659
I mean, we could have a subplot with online donations

00:43:08.659 --> 00:43:11.760
being like stole virtually. Oh, could you know?

00:43:11.780 --> 00:43:14.340
And so they're in having to do what if the manager

00:43:14.340 --> 00:43:16.760
at the hotel? Here it is. What if both of the

00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:18.960
what if both candidates are running for like

00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:21.159
the same party and they're like we're in like

00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:23.099
he's the campaign like he's the one who's going

00:43:23.099 --> 00:43:25.440
to decide. I think you'd know that ahead of time.

00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:27.480
He's just like whoever gets the most money is.

00:43:27.500 --> 00:43:29.980
But I think the hotel manager is stealing the

00:43:29.980 --> 00:43:32.920
online donations that are coming in. That'd be

00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:35.690
funny. And that's, it's a heist movie. It's also

00:43:35.690 --> 00:43:37.070
a heist movie. It's a political heist. It's a

00:43:37.070 --> 00:43:41.030
political heist. And the thriller is that it's

00:43:41.030 --> 00:43:43.750
an inside job. And like the person who's being

00:43:43.750 --> 00:43:48.110
most helpful at times is the one doing the dirty.

00:43:48.110 --> 00:43:50.710
I could see it. Always. All right. In concert

00:43:50.710 --> 00:43:53.429
with Jon Hamm, question mark. Ooh. Like he's

00:43:53.429 --> 00:43:56.050
actually stealing from both sides. This is why

00:43:56.050 --> 00:43:57.570
he's so wealthy. And they're the same person,

00:43:57.670 --> 00:43:59.909
question mark. I don't know how you're going

00:43:59.909 --> 00:44:02.289
to. Yeah, they're twins. The hotel. Have you

00:44:02.289 --> 00:44:05.010
seen what Billy Zane can do? Have you seen? I

00:44:05.010 --> 00:44:08.349
like the idea of it being a heist type of thing.

00:44:08.389 --> 00:44:10.909
I do like that as well. It being money. And if

00:44:10.909 --> 00:44:12.849
there are fundraisers, you have the opportunity

00:44:12.849 --> 00:44:15.909
for checks. You have the opportunity sometimes

00:44:15.909 --> 00:44:19.000
for cash. Flashy. And then a lot of it's online,

00:44:19.380 --> 00:44:22.219
auction items. So there's stuff that gets stolen.

00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:24.380
You can have thievery going on. It'd be really

00:44:24.380 --> 00:44:25.940
fun. I could see that. It'd be pretty fun. But

00:44:25.940 --> 00:44:29.039
if the rub is like stealing the online donation,

00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:35.800
somehow it is exciting because we know that Jon

00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.280
Hamm is going to drop a huge sum of money. Let's

00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:41.719
do this. Let's start from Act 1. Because we at

00:44:41.719 --> 00:44:44.079
least get to build an act one, act two, act three.

00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:45.880
All right. So what's act one? What are you thinking?

00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:47.820
Where are we starting? Well, we have to introduce

00:44:47.820 --> 00:44:50.340
characters and get kind of that. And that's going

00:44:50.340 --> 00:44:53.460
to be fast and quick. Yeah. I think we start

00:44:53.460 --> 00:44:56.440
like in the hotel kitchen. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah.

00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:59.179
I think every good movie starts like with a montage.

00:44:59.820 --> 00:45:02.880
Always. Fast pace. You set the tone early. Wow.

00:45:02.980 --> 00:45:06.280
Interesting. A montage. A montage early. A montage

00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:10.119
way early. We're following one of the politicians,

00:45:10.260 --> 00:45:14.619
the coked out politician. You have to move the

00:45:14.619 --> 00:45:16.679
intro has to move to the reveal that they're

00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:19.940
double booked. So it could go from the hotel

00:45:19.940 --> 00:45:22.980
kitchen into the sales office to the GM who's

00:45:22.980 --> 00:45:25.599
going, fuck. And that could be your first line

00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:27.780
of the movie is fuck, which is maybe funny. I

00:45:27.780 --> 00:45:29.619
think you could have it where the kitchen gets

00:45:29.619 --> 00:45:33.210
a call for room service. and then we kind of

00:45:33.210 --> 00:45:35.150
just follow like the silver platter because it's

00:45:35.150 --> 00:45:37.909
we're fancy going to the top room yeah we're

00:45:37.909 --> 00:45:39.869
going to the top room but along the way like

00:45:39.869 --> 00:45:42.869
we catch like our main characters both on like

00:45:42.869 --> 00:45:45.710
the elevator and like one gets on oh see little

00:45:45.710 --> 00:45:48.869
peaks of them yeah yeah and then like you say

00:45:48.869 --> 00:45:50.949
we have it where like the food walks by like

00:45:50.949 --> 00:45:53.050
the okay so that presupposes that they're already

00:45:53.050 --> 00:45:55.449
in the hotel and things are happening yeah Is

00:45:55.449 --> 00:45:57.869
it more fun... To have one of them show up halfway?

00:45:58.090 --> 00:46:01.230
No, to go to the moment where both our lead characters

00:46:01.230 --> 00:46:04.530
find out they're double booked. It would be fun

00:46:04.530 --> 00:46:07.610
to have them... The hotel's not that interesting

00:46:07.610 --> 00:46:12.119
maybe until later. So maybe if by way of introducing

00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:15.360
your characters, you see them both like co -side

00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:18.440
getting ready for this. Oh, like a split screenshot?

00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:22.539
And if you're going for reality as an idea, if

00:46:22.539 --> 00:46:24.980
you're going for reality, they know they're double

00:46:24.980 --> 00:46:26.840
booked a little bit ahead of time. There's nothing

00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:29.099
that can be done. The hotel is just rolling with

00:46:29.099 --> 00:46:30.719
it. It's like we're hoping that one of them falls

00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:32.960
through. You're just finding out like you're

00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:35.199
seeing them as they're both getting the call.

00:46:35.579 --> 00:46:38.780
And then they're both like, fuck. Are you kidding

00:46:38.780 --> 00:46:41.980
me? And then you can kind of kick things off

00:46:41.980 --> 00:46:43.460
that way. And that's when we have them both pounding

00:46:43.460 --> 00:46:45.900
on the door or something. Cut to AO, you know,

00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.400
going to the office and Jody, Michelle Pfeiffer's

00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:52.579
like, what? What? We're double booked. And then,

00:46:52.579 --> 00:46:55.320
you know, you can choose to spend more time with

00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:58.000
each. But act one is getting them ready to get

00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:01.840
into the room. And then the rumor is Jon Hamm's

00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:03.699
going to be there. And they're all like, what?

00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:06.440
So, like, initially there's crazy tension and

00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.710
anger about the thing. But then they're like,

00:47:09.789 --> 00:47:11.730
all right, we're just going to make it happen.

00:47:11.829 --> 00:47:13.929
What if Michelle Pfeiffer's character has a love

00:47:13.929 --> 00:47:16.650
interest and it used to be Jon Hamm? Oh, great.

00:47:16.849 --> 00:47:19.349
She can't let him know. She's like, there's somebody

00:47:19.349 --> 00:47:22.309
in my room and he's coming by later and I need

00:47:22.309 --> 00:47:23.769
you to get him out of here. And Ayo's like, what

00:47:23.769 --> 00:47:26.190
do you mean? I thought you said you dumped him.

00:47:26.989 --> 00:47:30.269
But do we want her to be a real scumbag, Michelle

00:47:30.269 --> 00:47:32.429
Pfeiffer? I don't know if a real scumbag, but

00:47:32.429 --> 00:47:34.429
we should definitely have her be real, right?

00:47:34.590 --> 00:47:39.440
Is she redeeming? Ooh. Is anybody running in

00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:42.639
politics? Well, I think our villain in the movie

00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:47.159
is Billy Zane, maybe with Jon Hamm. Maybe with

00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.940
Jon Hamm. Yeah. So if she knows Jon Hamm or used

00:47:52.940 --> 00:47:55.780
to be married to him, him being there would be

00:47:55.780 --> 00:47:58.679
a real bummer. Yeah, but she's got to keep cool.

00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:00.820
What if it turns out this is where he's been

00:48:00.820 --> 00:48:03.460
living? Like they had a divorce and he's been

00:48:03.460 --> 00:48:06.929
living at this hotel? I can see that. Yeah. So

00:48:06.929 --> 00:48:10.909
we can tee things up. Act one is kind of, hopefully,

00:48:11.030 --> 00:48:13.469
if we're not inarticulating, you know, it's like

00:48:13.469 --> 00:48:17.650
them getting to the event and figuring out that

00:48:17.650 --> 00:48:20.809
mystery person is going to be coming to us. What's

00:48:20.809 --> 00:48:23.750
the ratchet after that? How do we ratchet up?

00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:27.300
Because once we reveal Jon Hamm to Michelle Pfeiffer

00:48:27.300 --> 00:48:29.920
and all that and our other characters, what now?

00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:32.500
Well, that's interesting because did you talk

00:48:32.500 --> 00:48:37.199
about it maybe being a single location -ish movie?

00:48:37.340 --> 00:48:41.519
So once you have the initial thrust of it, the

00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:44.860
bulk of it's in the hotel. Yeah. That's a good

00:48:44.860 --> 00:48:46.760
point. So act one is going to have to be a little

00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:49.679
bit of both. Then you need something secondarily.

00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:53.980
That's going to also keep the tension high. Well,

00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:56.000
I mean, you can have things that are funny as

00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:58.159
they're logistically trying to figure out how

00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:00.000
they're going to cohabitate in this space. Yeah.

00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:06.260
Which is kind of fun. And, oh, I kind of wonder.

00:49:06.420 --> 00:49:08.420
Yeah. Like, what do we need next? Something else?

00:49:08.420 --> 00:49:12.920
Well, you could have, you know, some challenges

00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:15.480
with the technology. And that's your early clue.

00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:17.539
So you can have another character. Like the online

00:49:17.539 --> 00:49:19.679
stuff isn't happening. So like your computer

00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:23.139
tech guy is like, you know. We could just have

00:49:23.139 --> 00:49:26.119
them up on stage and just be like, why isn't

00:49:26.119 --> 00:49:29.119
it working? Why is my screen? It's black. Just

00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:32.699
something nonsense. So you can have the AV tech

00:49:32.699 --> 00:49:35.579
guy from the hotel be like a Matthew Howard type.

00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:40.559
Okay. I can see. What simple creatures we are.

00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:43.699
It'd be so fun. But that could be, you know,

00:49:43.739 --> 00:49:45.820
there could be start. You could start to have.

00:49:46.809 --> 00:49:50.349
insecurity with the hotel um which clearly alludes

00:49:50.349 --> 00:49:52.210
to the fact that they're up to something yeah

00:49:52.210 --> 00:49:55.550
okay uh do we have a point where michelle pfeiffer

00:49:55.550 --> 00:49:57.550
and zazie beats are like outside doing drugs

00:49:57.550 --> 00:50:00.150
together because like um oh yeah i feel like

00:50:00.150 --> 00:50:02.530
that has i think that should happen several times

00:50:02.530 --> 00:50:04.929
like that has to be part of the ratchet i think

00:50:04.929 --> 00:50:06.710
is that okay what if she keeps trying to get

00:50:06.710 --> 00:50:09.110
into the room no hear me out at the end of the

00:50:09.110 --> 00:50:11.510
movie zazie beats is a part of michelle pfeiffer's

00:50:11.510 --> 00:50:14.550
like cabinet Like throughout the movie, Zazie

00:50:14.550 --> 00:50:16.570
keeps getting closer and closer to the whole

00:50:16.570 --> 00:50:19.610
thing. And she's the bad guy all along with Jon

00:50:19.610 --> 00:50:22.769
Hamm. We sneak it in. All right. Run me through

00:50:22.769 --> 00:50:25.670
it. Let's hear it. She and Jon Hamm are in cahoots.

00:50:26.570 --> 00:50:31.809
Well, okay. I love this now. She's the one all

00:50:31.809 --> 00:50:33.469
along because we've just kind of forgotten about

00:50:33.469 --> 00:50:34.809
her. You brought her back in. This is perfect.

00:50:34.909 --> 00:50:37.570
So she's the one all along who's in cahoots with

00:50:37.570 --> 00:50:40.010
either the hotel manager or Jon Hamm. And maybe

00:50:40.010 --> 00:50:43.409
she's in cahoots. with john ham and they just

00:50:43.409 --> 00:50:45.650
disappear forever you know what i mean like they

00:50:45.650 --> 00:50:49.670
just met and he's like yeah you want to do this

00:50:49.670 --> 00:50:52.949
you want to do this thing or no maybe maybe what

00:50:52.949 --> 00:50:56.489
if yeah or it's the hotel manager You know, she's

00:50:56.489 --> 00:50:57.769
been outside the hotel the whole time. She's

00:50:57.769 --> 00:50:58.750
been outside the hotel the whole time. And they

00:50:58.750 --> 00:51:01.090
just figured out, like, let's do this thing and

00:51:01.090 --> 00:51:02.809
let's leave. Yeah, that's kind of fun. The hotel

00:51:02.809 --> 00:51:05.949
manager is just like, hey, I know Michelle Pfeiffer's

00:51:05.949 --> 00:51:06.809
character is a co -con. They know they're going

00:51:06.809 --> 00:51:09.369
to leave with $5 to $10 million. Do you know

00:51:09.369 --> 00:51:10.690
how much money is coming in here? Yeah, yeah,

00:51:10.789 --> 00:51:11.670
yeah. Do you know how much money is going to

00:51:11.670 --> 00:51:13.329
come into this thing? And then she cozies up

00:51:13.329 --> 00:51:15.710
to get in, and then they're, oh, yeah. That's

00:51:15.710 --> 00:51:17.769
fun. I think we found it. We found our story.

00:51:17.969 --> 00:51:22.730
So Zazie Beetz's drug dealers are bad guys. And,

00:51:22.730 --> 00:51:27.130
all right, so I think. Act one, like you say,

00:51:27.170 --> 00:51:30.590
is them getting ready. Act two, I think, is Zazie

00:51:30.590 --> 00:51:32.769
Beetz somehow getting tied up with Michelle Pfeiffer.

00:51:32.769 --> 00:51:36.030
I like it subtle. The idea that they're just

00:51:36.030 --> 00:51:38.590
smoking a joint outside and then she keeps popping

00:51:38.590 --> 00:51:40.570
up with her. But I think what needs to happen

00:51:40.570 --> 00:51:43.670
is they need to have a speech, but somehow Michelle

00:51:43.670 --> 00:51:46.469
Pfeiffer's character is blitzed and can't make

00:51:46.469 --> 00:51:49.349
it. It's all about Ayo calling off. It also really

00:51:49.349 --> 00:51:52.710
helps. It's all about them competing against

00:51:52.710 --> 00:51:56.659
each other. I think we found it. I think we found

00:51:56.659 --> 00:51:59.800
it. And the tension that's happening. I mean,

00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:02.139
so the Samara Weaving and Paul Rudd character,

00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:05.679
they're kind of the counterpoint to all this.

00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:09.239
Yeah. But I like the idea of trying to break

00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:12.840
into the penthouse. Oh, no, shoot. That's our

00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:17.239
act, too, is the Ayo and Samara competing against

00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:19.000
each other to try to figure out who this guy

00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:21.039
is. That's another thing we've got. So, like,

00:52:21.059 --> 00:52:23.739
you can have them. So, Samara starts to unravel.

00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:26.099
We don't even have to say, like, we can just

00:52:26.099 --> 00:52:27.880
have, like, Michelle Pfeiffer's character just

00:52:27.880 --> 00:52:30.699
be like, that's my ex. And she's like, he's still

00:52:30.699 --> 00:52:32.699
got my shit. Like, something, like, that she

00:52:32.699 --> 00:52:35.739
wants back. I like the idea of Samara weaving,

00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:40.860
like, reluctantly having to be bad because her

00:52:40.860 --> 00:52:43.280
friend is bringing this. I like the idea of,

00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:45.860
like, or more like Paul Rudd's, like, I need

00:52:45.860 --> 00:52:49.659
this thing. He took my class ring or something

00:52:49.659 --> 00:52:53.320
else. But what if the room is just bare? There's

00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:56.579
nothing in there. There's not even sheets. Dude

00:52:56.579 --> 00:52:59.059
spends pawn shopping in hotel sheets. Everything

00:52:59.059 --> 00:53:01.260
we can do to make Jon Hamm's character weird.

00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:05.659
There's a turtle on the counter with a balloon

00:53:05.659 --> 00:53:08.800
attached to it. Or they have to break in another

00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:12.329
time and it's completely different. What's going

00:53:12.329 --> 00:53:15.130
on? That would be fun. That's slapsticky. That

00:53:15.130 --> 00:53:17.849
is very slapsticky. So you have that kind of

00:53:17.849 --> 00:53:19.889
happening. You know how you could get it to work?

00:53:20.010 --> 00:53:23.550
Like if they both somehow got drugged. Oh, yeah.

00:53:23.710 --> 00:53:26.409
Because we have this drug gang. Yeah, and Zazie

00:53:26.409 --> 00:53:29.309
Beat's character is making her way in. Yeah.

00:53:29.309 --> 00:53:31.869
With a hotel manager's help, they can infiltrate

00:53:31.869 --> 00:53:36.300
and manipulate everything. Yeah. And the fact

00:53:36.300 --> 00:53:39.280
that I think it should be hilarious that Zazie's

00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:41.659
character at one point is just like by their

00:53:41.659 --> 00:53:47.159
side. Just on stage. On stage with them. But

00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:50.300
I think if it's written and acted right, it will

00:53:50.300 --> 00:53:52.760
seem absurd, but completely natural. And your

00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:55.219
eye will be totally off of it. Yeah. With the

00:53:55.219 --> 00:54:00.599
chaos. And then again, Paul Rudd and his stalwart.

00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:05.320
staying like totally oblivious just clueless

00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:07.500
completely oblivious but a good you know a good

00:54:07.500 --> 00:54:12.260
guy ish but like and Samara her character unraveling

00:54:12.260 --> 00:54:15.500
Io's character unraveling differently and they

00:54:15.500 --> 00:54:17.659
kind of rediscover their friendship and like

00:54:17.659 --> 00:54:21.000
you know small time politics you know the outside

00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:27.460
oh maybe the last scene is like a note from Zazie

00:54:27.460 --> 00:54:31.800
their character like Like a little, like the,

00:54:31.860 --> 00:54:33.659
you guys should do together. You guys should

00:54:33.659 --> 00:54:35.739
work together or you guys are really good together.

00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:38.559
Like it's a total mystery. Everybody gets ghosted

00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:41.460
except for them. And they find this, like, I

00:54:41.460 --> 00:54:43.059
don't know. It's, it's, it's a bunch of money

00:54:43.059 --> 00:54:46.159
or thanks. It's something like that. That like

00:54:46.159 --> 00:54:49.119
makes them like, fuck all this. You guys should

00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:52.900
do something else together. I feel like there's

00:54:52.900 --> 00:54:55.780
the spinoff movie. We get the buddy cop movie.

00:54:56.059 --> 00:55:00.429
Well, you know, again, you can have. violence

00:55:00.429 --> 00:55:03.070
in this with fights with hotel staff. That's

00:55:03.070 --> 00:55:05.110
what I'm saying. Other guests who are accidentally

00:55:05.110 --> 00:55:08.949
booked. So, all right. What is the weird ass

00:55:08.949 --> 00:55:12.889
cameo? Ooh, our weird ass cameo? Yeah. I don't

00:55:12.889 --> 00:55:16.170
know. In a movie like this, and I feel like it's

00:55:16.170 --> 00:55:20.170
focused, but you could have just as another guest

00:55:20.170 --> 00:55:22.530
in the hotel just walking by. Just walking by.

00:55:22.550 --> 00:55:25.710
Let's say we have anybody that we could do as

00:55:25.710 --> 00:55:29.519
a... either playing themselves, a real politician.

00:55:30.219 --> 00:55:32.960
You know, this is a political movie. Uh -huh,

00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:35.059
uh -huh. I'd love to have Gretchen Whitmer in

00:55:35.059 --> 00:55:38.320
this. She's so hot. A local politician. Melissa

00:55:38.320 --> 00:55:41.980
Slotkin, too. She's getting... Let's see. All

00:55:41.980 --> 00:55:45.579
right. All right. I don't know. Like, because

00:55:45.579 --> 00:55:48.519
you'd get a lot of good smiles in this movie,

00:55:48.579 --> 00:55:50.139
as long as it's paced well. Yeah, as long as

00:55:50.139 --> 00:55:53.099
it's paced right. A little bit of a little, hey,

00:55:53.260 --> 00:55:57.070
who's that? Yeah. Is kind of fun. Are there any

00:55:57.070 --> 00:55:59.309
politicians that like have any positive press?

00:55:59.389 --> 00:56:01.369
I don't know. I don't know if there's any right

00:56:01.369 --> 00:56:05.250
now. Politically, but yeah. Just as a fun cameo.

00:56:05.250 --> 00:56:11.789
How about a cameo? Eminem as a standup comedian.

00:56:13.889 --> 00:56:17.670
Like he's the roast master. And he's bad. He's

00:56:17.670 --> 00:56:20.130
real bad. Kind of like a wedding singer style.

00:56:20.769 --> 00:56:23.769
Because again, both of these political parties

00:56:23.769 --> 00:56:27.550
have booked entertainment. I can see that. And

00:56:27.550 --> 00:56:30.250
some of the fun is I'm trying to do these events

00:56:30.250 --> 00:56:33.510
because once they realize, I think what's important

00:56:33.510 --> 00:56:37.519
is once they realize Jon Hamm. um is going to

00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:39.619
be there it is in their best interest to work

00:56:39.619 --> 00:56:42.559
together yeah so the fun it couldn't be fun for

00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:44.760
them to just be pissed the whole time but i think

00:56:44.760 --> 00:56:48.000
it's more interesting to have them work together

00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:51.159
yeah have that go in billy zane's favor because

00:56:51.159 --> 00:56:55.699
he's like what the shit okay so comically you

00:56:55.699 --> 00:56:57.539
know as you look backwards you're like they've

00:56:57.539 --> 00:57:01.019
just helped you in so many ways Zazie Beetz is

00:57:01.019 --> 00:57:05.960
now Michelle Pfeiffer's chief of staff. And Rich.

00:57:06.059 --> 00:57:09.280
AO has been promoted. You know what I mean? And

00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:12.820
it was, I mean, so that's super, I think that's

00:57:12.820 --> 00:57:15.219
super fun. It's either that or somebody dies

00:57:15.219 --> 00:57:18.539
right at the end. But Eminem is the hilarious.

00:57:19.159 --> 00:57:21.579
What if he's like the MC? He's not even like,

00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:25.510
he's just like a hotel staff guy. Hotels really

00:57:25.510 --> 00:57:28.210
don't have MCs. I wish they did. I tried to be

00:57:28.210 --> 00:57:30.309
one a lot of years. That's what got me fired

00:57:30.309 --> 00:57:31.869
a lot. You can always go for the bullet train

00:57:31.869 --> 00:57:33.670
thing and we get somebody in a mascot outfit.

00:57:34.030 --> 00:57:36.730
Can we get Brad Pitt? I'm just going to say Brad

00:57:36.730 --> 00:57:42.269
Pitt in a walk -on. He's there an hour. What

00:57:42.269 --> 00:57:47.389
do we do? We've gotten here. We've rubbed up

00:57:47.389 --> 00:57:49.809
against each other for a while. Logan, you have

00:57:49.809 --> 00:57:52.110
Brad Pitt. You have him in our movie for an hour.

00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:55.280
what are you doing with him he's in a hotel there's

00:57:55.280 --> 00:57:59.219
two political groups happening uh well this is

00:57:59.219 --> 00:58:01.039
a vastly different movie but now he's in the

00:58:01.039 --> 00:58:03.679
penthouse suite in a scarface bathtub for a second

00:58:03.679 --> 00:58:06.539
oh fuck yeah you did it yeah you're a goddamn

00:58:06.539 --> 00:58:09.840
champion you're a fucking champion of course

00:58:09.840 --> 00:58:12.699
himself or not who fucking knows he's he's one

00:58:12.699 --> 00:58:14.860
time they break in they're like yeah it's just

00:58:14.860 --> 00:58:18.760
this is brad pitt god damn it Topless in a hot

00:58:18.760 --> 00:58:21.219
tub with bubbles. I think he'd do that a million

00:58:21.219 --> 00:58:24.179
percent. If we asked him nicely, if we made him

00:58:24.179 --> 00:58:28.079
a Scarface gangster role for that, 100%. Is that

00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:29.980
the move? Do we kick out Jon Hamm for Brad Pitt

00:58:29.980 --> 00:58:32.079
and make him a gangster that's just like he's

00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:34.340
trying to buy his way into the political game?

00:58:34.500 --> 00:58:36.579
I have no idea. I feel like that could definitely

00:58:36.579 --> 00:58:40.280
work. This is great. I love this. Both movies

00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:46.550
sound really fun. Okay, so we've got nine minutes.

00:58:46.630 --> 00:58:48.969
Okay. So what are you thinking it sounds like?

00:58:49.070 --> 00:58:53.269
Is there a score? I mean, so it feels kind of

00:58:53.269 --> 00:58:58.849
modern, small town. Yeah. I think music, it's

00:58:58.849 --> 00:59:00.869
important in every movie. Always. Like Super

00:59:00.869 --> 00:59:02.989
Make or Break, but are you feeling like it's

00:59:02.989 --> 00:59:06.769
a score? Is it like indie rock? I feel like it's

00:59:06.769 --> 00:59:09.489
definitely, instead of being a score, I feel

00:59:09.489 --> 00:59:12.300
like it definitely has to be a soundtrack. If

00:59:12.300 --> 00:59:15.440
that makes any sense. I don't know them, but

00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:18.679
Panic at the Disco? Should it just be bands that

00:59:18.679 --> 00:59:22.179
have Panic in their name? They do have one song

00:59:22.179 --> 00:59:25.239
that I feel like I know nothing about them, but

00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:27.780
are they right for this movie? I mean, having

00:59:27.780 --> 00:59:33.619
seen him live, yeah, he's pretty great. So Panic

00:59:33.619 --> 00:59:35.280
at the Disco is my wife's favorite band, so it's

00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:39.780
kind of surprising. Shout out Zoe. But he does

00:59:41.320 --> 00:59:44.159
his live version, he does Bohemian Rhapsody and

00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:47.559
Freddie Mercury reincarnate. I swear. Yo. So

00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:50.599
this sounds kind of, he's very orchestral. Like,

00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:52.639
so, so you can do it all. You get to an artist

00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:56.039
like that. Um, like one of my favorite soundtracks

00:59:56.039 --> 01:00:00.039
of all time is by Daft Punk and it's Tron legacy.

01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:02.420
Yeah. And it was kind of an interesting deal

01:00:02.420 --> 01:00:06.659
to give Daft Punk a soundtrack. uh m83 did the

01:00:06.659 --> 01:00:09.380
soundtrack for oblivion that soundtrack fucking

01:00:09.380 --> 01:00:12.719
rules there is uh there is a guy he's i would

01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:15.960
i would say he's a classic classic hip -hop artist

01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:17.619
uh i don't know if you've heard of him he's called

01:00:17.619 --> 01:00:21.659
asap rock not asap rocky but asap rock uh he

01:00:21.659 --> 01:00:24.760
actually also does music production and uh is

01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:27.260
available i think for like composing like actual

01:00:27.260 --> 01:00:29.559
film stuff and he'll do that kind of stuff and

01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:32.280
that'd be like an 80s it would be like I don't

01:00:32.280 --> 01:00:34.420
want to say synth pop, but I could see how it

01:00:34.420 --> 01:00:36.760
could definitely have that kind of vibe to it

01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:40.079
from like, but like, I don't know, classic vibes

01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:43.639
from like hip hop. I mean, it's, it's, it's fairly,

01:00:43.820 --> 01:00:48.559
um, decent stakes here because if we're looking

01:00:48.559 --> 01:00:51.800
at like a small town, you know, that's sad people

01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:54.900
losing their money, but you know, hopefully it's

01:00:54.900 --> 01:00:58.480
mad cappy enough and you have the, The little

01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:04.440
cuff at the end with potentially Zazie and Billy

01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:08.659
Zane going like, you know, here's a little something

01:01:08.659 --> 01:01:12.380
for your troubles. Start your own thing. Thanks

01:01:12.380 --> 01:01:15.800
for the help. But I like the 80s synth pop idea.

01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:17.840
I kind of like it, too. I think it fit well.

01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:20.420
I'm thinking like John Carpenter almost, which

01:01:20.420 --> 01:01:23.139
not quite. That would be a dream. Right. Give

01:01:23.139 --> 01:01:26.269
John. Okay, we're dreaming, right? Yeah, we can

01:01:26.269 --> 01:01:28.389
dream. No, he's alive. Is he still alive? Is

01:01:28.389 --> 01:01:29.869
he still going to compose? We can do it? And

01:01:29.869 --> 01:01:32.809
his son's composed with him. But what if you

01:01:32.809 --> 01:01:38.809
asked John Carpenter and company to do... This

01:01:38.809 --> 01:01:41.309
would definitely ramp the tension. No, no, no,

01:01:41.309 --> 01:01:43.130
not at all. No, I think it would because dude

01:01:43.130 --> 01:01:45.690
did Halloween. No, I know that. I'm saying ask

01:01:45.690 --> 01:01:48.550
them to do something lighter. Like have your

01:01:48.550 --> 01:01:51.730
sinister tone, but do an 80s synth pop comedy.

01:01:51.969 --> 01:01:57.650
Yeah. And he may say, fuck you. But it might

01:01:57.650 --> 01:02:02.070
be fun to ask. Because I celebrate the work that

01:02:02.070 --> 01:02:04.949
he does outside of the film soundtracks. I'm

01:02:04.949 --> 01:02:07.769
not that big of a nerd. Because it's really good.

01:02:08.070 --> 01:02:10.989
He's a really talented man. And when I learned

01:02:10.989 --> 01:02:15.909
he was doing work with his sons, they're still

01:02:15.909 --> 01:02:20.309
just Casio keyboards to this day. That sounds

01:02:20.309 --> 01:02:22.159
like our winner. Just them. That's the winner

01:02:22.159 --> 01:02:24.440
right there. But if you ask him to a little lightness,

01:02:24.539 --> 01:02:28.639
because it's funny, and forgive me, he may have

01:02:28.639 --> 01:02:32.079
done a comedy score. I don't know. I know he

01:02:32.079 --> 01:02:34.000
scores most of his own films, but he may have

01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:36.380
done a comedy outside. That'll be fun to look

01:02:36.380 --> 01:02:39.139
at. I don't care if he did or didn't. This is

01:02:39.139 --> 01:02:40.760
the movie that we're dreaming of, and I dreamed

01:02:40.760 --> 01:02:42.920
John Carpenter would do this. Now, I'm bringing

01:02:42.920 --> 01:02:45.480
something in late to the table, but we have five

01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:48.139
minutes. Five minutes. Our title, once again,

01:02:48.199 --> 01:02:52.739
is Whistle While You Panic. Does whistling have

01:02:52.739 --> 01:02:56.380
to come in? Is it too easy? Is it super hard?

01:02:56.559 --> 01:02:59.300
How do we make whistling happen? We make Sassy

01:02:59.300 --> 01:03:01.960
Beats whistle during the intro and at the end.

01:03:01.980 --> 01:03:04.539
And that's just like her mark. Yep. When she's

01:03:04.539 --> 01:03:06.519
hanging out in front of the hotel, she's whistling.

01:03:06.639 --> 01:03:09.179
And then when we show her leaving, she is also,

01:03:09.239 --> 01:03:11.579
you know, Kaiser Soze kind of stuff. Like strategically

01:03:11.579 --> 01:03:14.880
make it that she's whistling while like, and

01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:16.760
that's what endears her to Michelle Pfeiffer.

01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:18.940
Like she's whistling like her favorite song or

01:03:18.940 --> 01:03:22.219
something like that. That's wonderful. Have you

01:03:22.219 --> 01:03:26.340
tried panicking? And I like that tagline a ton.

01:03:26.659 --> 01:03:29.539
I think it works great. Because some of the charm

01:03:29.539 --> 01:03:33.559
is her calm throughout it. The calmest person

01:03:33.559 --> 01:03:35.480
in our cast is the drug dealer. That could be

01:03:35.480 --> 01:03:39.199
the line. Have you tried panicking? And do you

01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:41.320
envision it being a line and who's saying it?

01:03:41.739 --> 01:03:43.719
Zazie Beetz definitely says it, and she's the

01:03:43.719 --> 01:03:45.579
calmest person in the whole movie. Have you tried

01:03:45.579 --> 01:03:47.099
panicking? Every time she hooks somebody up,

01:03:47.139 --> 01:03:50.340
it's like, have you tried panicking? Okay, so

01:03:50.340 --> 01:03:52.300
we're going back to the beginning. This is a

01:03:52.300 --> 01:03:55.039
friend of yours. Yeah, this is his line. That

01:03:55.039 --> 01:03:56.780
you are honoring now with this. I think this

01:03:56.780 --> 01:03:58.760
line is great. I think it's perfect for the movie.

01:03:59.000 --> 01:04:02.900
Have you tried panicking? She would deliver that

01:04:02.900 --> 01:04:07.900
so well. Yeah. And again, the idea that there's

01:04:07.900 --> 01:04:12.440
a little sneak -a -roo is fun. We said R -rated.

01:04:12.500 --> 01:04:16.710
Is there nudity in this? Only, only if we get

01:04:16.710 --> 01:04:19.429
to show male or female or otherwise, I feel like

01:04:19.429 --> 01:04:21.829
if we're going to have Michelle Pfeiffer, if

01:04:21.829 --> 01:04:23.389
Michelle Pfeiffer is going to be a coked out

01:04:23.389 --> 01:04:25.230
politician and she's got to have like her male

01:04:25.230 --> 01:04:27.610
escort, just like naked on the bed when she opens

01:04:27.610 --> 01:04:29.809
the door, just like Coke dripping from her nose.

01:04:29.889 --> 01:04:32.210
Cause that'd be the funniest thing because we

01:04:32.210 --> 01:04:33.730
got to subvert the trope. Everybody's like, it's

01:04:33.730 --> 01:04:34.829
going to be a lady. It's like, no, it's going

01:04:34.829 --> 01:04:38.469
to be a dude's ass hanging out. A Sebastian Maniscalco

01:04:38.469 --> 01:04:44.760
bit that he talks about. He's at a bachelor party

01:04:44.760 --> 01:04:47.460
in Vegas, and he says the stripper shows up at

01:04:47.460 --> 01:04:52.099
their door of the hotel already naked. No narrative

01:04:52.099 --> 01:04:54.820
is what he says. Just good to go. Now, it's already

01:04:54.820 --> 01:04:57.659
funny when he says already naked, right? He gets

01:04:57.659 --> 01:04:59.679
a laugh. But then when he says no narrative,

01:04:59.840 --> 01:05:03.539
he gets a second laugh. But that image of just

01:05:03.539 --> 01:05:06.380
already, like, you don't give a shit. You're

01:05:06.380 --> 01:05:09.460
already naked is funny. So, like, in a way, they're

01:05:09.460 --> 01:05:12.630
already. arriving you know naked you ready for

01:05:12.630 --> 01:05:15.969

of, you know. distinct happiness at times, you

01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:11.579
know, but I feel like this is a very happy movie.

01:06:11.800 --> 01:06:15.420
It's uplifting in a way. We end with the bad

01:06:15.420 --> 01:06:17.699
guys winning, but everybody being okay with it

01:06:17.699 --> 01:06:19.900
somehow? I don't know. Yeah, I mean, and not

01:06:19.900 --> 01:06:21.980
to say, I mean, like stealing from non -profits

01:06:21.980 --> 01:06:23.900
and all this kind of, oh no, they're stealing

01:06:23.900 --> 01:06:25.079
from political candidates. We're stealing from

01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:26.559
politicians. That's right. We took the non -profit

01:06:26.559 --> 01:06:28.519
thing out of it. Thank you. That helps me. That

01:06:28.519 --> 01:06:29.860
makes my heart feel better. We Robin Hooded it.

01:06:29.860 --> 01:06:35.909
It's okay. We did Robin Hood it. See? I don't

01:06:35.909 --> 01:06:37.889
know if this is a good or a bad thing, Logan,

01:06:38.010 --> 01:06:39.750
but I really want to see this. I want to see

01:06:39.750 --> 01:06:42.250
this movie. Can we make this movie? Super bad.

01:06:42.250 --> 01:06:45.150

01:06:48.820 --> 01:06:50.659
Anybody who knows anybody in Hollywood that wants

01:06:50.659 --> 01:06:52.400
to also see this movie or any of these actors

01:06:52.400 --> 01:06:56.539
or actresses. I'm tremendously thrilled with

01:06:56.539 --> 01:07:00.500
this and with 48 Seconds to Spare. Man, just

01:07:00.500 --> 01:07:02.460
on time. I don't know if it's a good movie or

01:07:02.460 --> 01:07:04.539
a bad movie, but it's definitely going to be

01:07:04.539 --> 01:07:07.889

01:07:18.829 --> 01:07:21.590
