We had another classic delay this morning. All at my fault. All at my fault. But I will also say the one technical thing that I can't figure out, Rob, and I always come to you as the IT guy. Basically, that's what this podcast has become. But there's no solve. It's the eternal hunt for...
Yes. The big picture. The big picture. The big picture. The big picture. And Marty Short, Martin Short plays his. Dude, I know. He's one of my favorites. And he says, I've read half of these scripts almost all the way through, and I think you're perfect for him. Dude, my favorite is, I don't know you. I don't know your work. I think you're very talented. It's so funny. One of my favorite parts. That's what Borja's answer was. And you know this is improv, but Martin Short is sitting there having lunch with Kevin Bacon.
And so I have to do it like I'm talking to you and we're facing each other. And then he just off camera goes, oh, no. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, no. Not right now. Not today. I'll call you later. But like it's hilarious.
No, I don't remember that. Okay. She was so funny. Kristen Wiig's funny in everything. I went to my neighbor's house, the wonderful Lisa of Lisa and Ian fame across the street. Wonderful people. They were hosting a movie night. They started the
A little Sunday night cinema club where they invite, well, they invited Joe and Tam. And Joe and Tam were the first invites. And this is important to the story. Joe and Tam, you know Joe and Tam.
And, I mean, Rob does. I don't know if the... Yeah, I do. I don't know if everybody's going to... But Joe and Tam... And Joe and Tam then proceed to give us grief on the text chain. Well, what's the matter, Spates? Not going to make it? Not going to make the debut? Because Joe had kind of pressed for this whole thing because he's a cinephile. I'm already rooting for them. Yeah. And so he's like, what are you going to... Come on, Spates. Clock in. And so Jason and I look at each other like, you know what? All the boys are...
otherwise engaged, let's, yeah, let's do this. Frank literally is at a sleepover somewhere else. Let's go. Let's do this. It's Sunday night, movie night. We can hang out with other people that don't live at the very top of the hill. Well, except for he lives, Lisa and Ian live at the very top. They live across the street from us. Higher than you? No, like parallel, parallel. But anyways, we say, all right, we're going to go over to Lisa and Ian's and for a cinema night. And, um,
An hour before the thing starts, Joe and Tam bail. No way. Joe and Tam bail. They're like, oh, we double booked. Got to scoot. We're out. No way. That's crazy. And I'm like, Joe and Tam? I blame, no, I don't know who is responsible, but I'm blaming Tam. Okay. Because Tam is the lovely and hilarious British person who seems like maybe she might have forgotten everything.
Whereas Joe, the cinephile, feels like he takes his stuff way more seriously. And he was the one giving you crap. He was the one chiming, lighten into me. So anyway, we went. And originally, we were going to maybe watch Goodfellas. That had been the movie of choice. But we couldn't do that. Joe and Tam had lobbied for that movie. So we're like, well, maybe we'll put that movie aside, wait for them to be able to join next time. Right? Make sense? Right. Fair? Yes. Yeah. So...
We get there, and Lisa says, hey, I think maybe we'll rent the drama. The drama. Now, who knew about the drama? I knew. I'd seen the ads all over town. So the drama stars. So how much of it was because you think she's hot?
I don't you're going to this is I've never lied to you. She does not ring my chimes. Not one iota about her. OK. She looks like a child and I just don't get it. So but I have seen the billboards and it's Robert Pattinson from of Twilight fame.
Sure. And Zendaya, who seems to be in everything on TV. Yeah. Utopia and, no, Ethiopia. Utopia and Ethiopia. What's the name of the show? She did the Utopia. What's the name of the show? Just tell me the name of the show. Zootopia. Okay, she did Zootopia. I know that's not right, but I don't know. Euphoria. Euphoria, right.
That's definitely not Ethiopia. Oh, man. Utopia, Ethiopia. Hey, I had the, yeah, right? I had the, yeah.
What's it called? Euphoria. Euphoria. So I had the... Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the U. Yeah, I got the U. The U. Okay. The U. There's a U in Zootopia. Anyway. Poor Europe. Freeboard. Okay.
So they're both talented young people. And, by the way. So you're watching Zootopia. So I turn on the cartoons, and I'm like, where's the panther? Where's the coogs? I don't want the coogs.
No, what's the, I really like, I know Robert Pattinson gives a lot of grief. We're like, oh, it's Twilight this, Twilight that. No, he's a great actor. Dude, I watched him in The Lighthouse with Willem Dafoe. That was brilliant. That Robert Eggers movie, I think it is. Yeah, David Eggers. David Eggers. So good.
yeah so good yeah he's also he's good and i liked him in mickey 17 or whatever that was i didn't see that one but he's make what i what i like about him is he's a he's basically a teen idol came out of teen idol uh that teen idol phase of life and is making cool cinema choices yeah he's pushing himself good time there's an indie movie called good time he's really like he and zach efron both are doing cool stuff they're trying stuff they're pushing themselves sure they tried they tried yeah
So I love it because otherwise they could just rest on their laurels and print money making movies about them being hot. Never knew you were such a big Efron guy. Dude, I liked him. He did a great, is it miniseries? He played Dahmer in a movie about him before they did a miniseries. He did a really nice job. Yeah. Man, that guy's had a lot of movies and books and shit about him. Dahmer? Yeah. No kidding. No kidding.
Ted Bundy. Oh, that's who. Dude, sorry. I'm wrong. Zac Efron played Ted Bundy. He did a Ted Bundy movie. Not Dahmer. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Ted Bundy. He was the handsome guy that honestly kept getting away with it because his lawyer would fall in love with him. He had this weird...
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah, it was trippy. So anyway, Zac Efron, what's his face? Patterson making cool choices. I love it. I think it's really admirable in an era where they could just literally rest on their laurels and post content. They do cool stuff.
