Chapter 1: What exciting news do they share at the beginning?
Hey, everybody. The podcast is about to start, but before it does, we have some very exciting news. Which one of you wants to tell them? I'll say it at the same time, guys. One, two, three. Pop stars on Netflix right now.
Man, I felt like that was a cruel tee-up, Seth. It seemed like maybe it was going to be something.
I'm sorry, bud. Pop Star, which is a fantastic film, and I look forward to doing what I'm certain will be a two, if not three-part episode of this podcast. Pop Star is now available on Netflix, and it's never been on Netflix. And a lot of you are going to watch it for the first time based on, you know, how it did in theaters. Thanks for calling it a film, Seth. That was nice of you.
It's a great movie. I love it so much. I'm genuinely so excited that it's on Netflix.
Chapter 2: What is 'Pop Star' and why is it important?
We got all kinds of credits on that movie. Producers, actors, writers. Two out of three of us were directors.
And fucking real producers, too. PGA fucking approved, guys.
Oh, yeah. Full-on PGA. Everyone knows what that is.
And unlike NYPD Blue, you guys had the courage to show a full dick.
That's right. We show butt right away. We get that out of the way in the first, like, three minutes there's a butt.
I was like, where's he going with this? Again, they paved the way, though. All respected. Yeah. Without Blue, Blue walked so you could run.
We name check Dennis Franz and we show. And like NYPD Blue, we had the courage to drop our Chicago accents.
Wait, there's something I want to say. Oh, I just feel like, you know what? We've never actually called on you, Quaid Army, but this is it. Quaid Army, let's get the views on this. Get it trending, guys. Trending.
Top 10.

Chapter 4: What memorable sketches did they discuss?
Yeah. One is just untouched and one of them is lightly touched, but it's still the same thing. But yeah, I just changed the timing of it. When you did that shot though, Keev, I remember being in edit and it's the closest we've ever been to like being like how Travis Scott's friends all are when he first plays them his songs. Yeah, being like...
Like, oh, fog! It's fucking so dope! It looks so huge! I'm like, oh, we're about to run this shit! Like, we were so amped.
You slid the shot in half of the split screen!
I remember feeling like that when it played at air, too, of just, like, even though, because I did feel like it had sort of stunned the audience a little bit, and so there maybe wasn't the laughter necessarily, but it felt like it was like, oh, shit, I think that this is going to really hit in a different, I mean, it was it was it's always crazy to see it play live.
But that one in particular was like, oh, shit.
But if you want to jump to that night to what Seth was talking about and what you're talking about, I remember feeling disappointed. Do you want to talk about the footage situation? I mean, we could talk about for a second. I don't know how interesting it is, but yeah. So one of the crazy things along the journey of the video was that. I guess the DP made the choice.
Yeah, who we used again. What did we use Aaron Platt? It was Aaron Platt. And we used him again on something more recent. Oh, you know what he did? When we did a reshoot on Popstar, when we were getting additional stuff for videos, he shot like the Emma Stone music video on Popstar, right?
Nice guy, fun dude. Yes. And could really shoot. Keeve specifically, I believe, had asked him to make it feel really frenetic and crazy. Yes. And he was doing this trick while he was shooting footage where he was popping the lens in and out. Which is great. He was popping it off of the camera. Yes.
So I just have this vivid memory, Keith, correct me if you feel this is different, of going in there the first day of looking at the footage. We shot it on an off week, and then top of the week of SNL, we started cutting at 30 Rock. and going in and looking through the footage and being like, we can't make the video. It's all just fucking flares. There's no fucking footage.
