What's up, jerks? How we doing tonight? Did you watch the flicks? The time is right with Jason June and poke it into it with your team sanity. With your team Fred.

Jason Mantzoukas
Did you take some notes? Would you scratch your head? How'd you get through it? Did you ask yourself?

All the people yelling Jesus, don't say, how did this get made? How did this get made?

State the math of farmers market sane. How did this get paid? How did this get made? The dog John chasing the junior gonna come in and rock the room so singing, clap your hand, say, how did this get made? Whoa, that was a good one.

Holy shit. That was great. Started off as a real slow jam. Real, like, bedroom vibes. I was like, oh, fuck.

Our listeners. Get down. Our listeners. You know what? Let us know if you guys are fucking to this.

To these. To these theme songs. I'd like to know. Thank you to Casey Alexander for that opening theme song. Wow, wow, wow.

Anyway, it's me, Jason Manzoukas. I'm going to be your host today. We're going to be going through the ugly truth, corrections, omissions. There's going to be voicemails. I think there's going to be songs to help me out.

Producers Scott and Molly are on the line, so we'll all be chopping it up. Is that what people say? Chopping it up? Now they do. I wish I hadn't said it, but leave it in.

We're going to be. We're going to be chopping it up about the old ugly truth. God damn it. I hate this. Anyway, we're gonna be talking about the ugly truth, and then later, I'm gonna go through a bunch of recommendations for movies and tv and a bunch of podcasts and all sorts of.

All sorts of crap. Spoiler alert. I've already recorded that part of it. I'm punching this in right now. I've already recorded the whole episode, but in order to make it go smoother, Scott said I needed to punch in and do this.

He said, these people are idiots. They don't understand what this is. You've got to walk them through it beat by beat. And so I've done that. Also, don't forget, at the end of the show, I'm going to reveal what next week's movie is, which you already know by now.

You already know these are not reveals. Scott's pointing at it. Like, make sure you tell them it's not a reveal. They know already. These are notes for all the newcomers to the show.

Scott Aukerman
Paul's off on Colbert, Good Morning America, CB's Saturday morning. Maybe we'll get some new people who don't know how last looks runs. Okay. Okay. You know what, Scott?

Jason Mantzoukas
Actually, this is the first time you've said anything that's worth watching, and I would like to. Yes. And that in the parlance of improv, if you are new to the show, if you have just arrived after seeing Paul on one of the shows that Scott mentioned, or one of maybe a reading or in any other way, shape, or form, if this is your first ep, if this, this right here is your first episode, let us know, because this is not normal. This is not a normal episode. Please go.

Go back. Listen to the ugly truth. Made episode before listening to. Don't listen to this. Don't listen to this.

That's. It's good. We're punching in. Don't. If this.

If you've never heard the show before, stop listening immediately. Listen to a real episode where we're all on talking about a movie. Then sometime later, listen to this. But not right now. Anyway, we're here.

We're doing this dumb thing. We're talking about the ugly truth. Apparently, that's what the cursor on the thing in front of me is telling me to talk about. They sent me a script ahead of time. Did I look at it?

I didn't. So we're cold reading the episode. Here we go, plugs. New tour date. Ba ba ba.

We are returning to my hometown, Boston. What do you think you're better than me? Sunday, June 16. We're going to the Wilbur Theater. Love it.

Love the Wilbur, one of my favorite theaters. I saw many bands there when I was growing up. The Wilbur, the Orpheum. I saw Huey Lewis in the news. Don't worry about it.

We're coming to Boston. We'll be hanging out. We're doing that. I believe I will also be there in the days leading up to it for the comedy bang bang tour. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say that, but guess what, shitheads, I'm doing it.

So, boom. I'm going to be for the Boston dates at Bang Bang as of now, as all of this could change. But we do know. Sunday, June 16. How did this get made?

The Wilbur Theater in Boston. And boy, do I like it when Boston shows live up to their bostonness. Please don't stop being absolutely wasted wearing hockey jerseys in the audience. I've never been to a how did this get made? Show where there were so many hockey jerseys.

It really Boston. Thank you for making me feel like any comedy podcast I'm a part of is about to become a fistfight. Okay. Also, get ready. Nantucket Film festival ba ba ba.

Thursday, June 20 tickets are on sale now@nantucketfilmfestival.org. dot yes. We're gonna fuck it in Tuckett. Get ready. We don't know what we're doing.

We're part of a film festival, no doubt. It's gonna be a whole situation. It's on the tiny island of Nantucket, so very easy to get to. Very easy to opt into this show. So I expect everybody to be there for the Nantucket Film Festival, Thursday, June 20.

How did this get made? Nantucketfilmfestival.org. bam. Okay, I'm already exhausted. Already exhausted.

Paul's book, Joyful Recollections of trauma, is finally out. Buy it. If you haven't bought it by now, I swear to God, I will come to your house and I will punch you in the dick. God damn it. The book is great.

So many plugs. That's all the plugs. Okay, great. So apparently we're going to a break now. It's got, you know, it's in.

It's highly lighted in yellow. It's bolded. It's in a much higher, much bigger font than the rest of the script. Break number one. So after this, we're coming back with your questions, your comments, all about the movie the ugly truth, which, I'll be honest, I have already forgotten.

Jason Mantzoukas
All right, here we are. We're back. We're here to talk about guys. The ugly truth, a movie that discord user fun facts 47, a bunch of words that don't make any sense together. A movie that discord user fun facts 47 thinks should have had the tagline the ugly truth, jagged little red pill.

By the way, Scott, I don't mind telling you, terrible introduction to this section of the show. Just a word salad of nonsense. I don't, I can't make heads or tails out of any of that, but maybe you guys can anyway. So you guys had stuff you wanted to talk about regarding the ugly truth you sent us in, I'm assuming voicemails or maybe just notes that we're going to check in in terms of, you know, maybe what we got wrong or things we left out. You know, you get the fucking deal.

If you're listening to this, you know what corrections and omissions are, so why don't we, if you don't mind, Scott, hit him with the theme take it away.

Okay. That's a banger. That's a ten. If it had said take it away, Jason, the fact that it said take it away, Paul makes it a three. That is from Carlo Teofilo.

Thank you, Carlo Teofilo, for your corrections and omissions. Theme song, which I loved. It had a real. It's a bop. It had a real vibe.

I enjoyed the hell out of it until at the very end, it was personally an egregious personal failure by me, by naming Paul and not me. So fuck you, Carlo Tafilo. Eat shit. Now let's go to the discord. I.

How do we go there, Scott? How do we go to the discord? It's like we're going to never never land. How do we get there? We're already here.

Scott Aukerman
I brought the discord to the script. What? Ooh la la. Okay, so first up, Naseem. Naseem writes, you guys pointed out that Catherine Heigl's cat is named D'Artagnan, after one of the three Musketeers.

Jason Mantzoukas
And Jason joked that could mean she has two other dead cats. I remember that. Solid joke. That's me putting that in. That's not what Nassim said.

Anyway, picking back up with Nassim, while d'Artagnan is the main character in the Three Musketeers, he is not one of the actual musketeers. Oh, boy. Is this a gotcha? Is Naseem writing in a gotcha? Yeah.

Oh, God. Am I the. This is embarrassing, Jason. I guess I'm an idiot. Okay, so Nassim writes, they are Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.

Those are the Three Musketeers. D'Artagnan antagonizes them at first, but then quickly befriends them and becomes the fourth musketeer of the story. Bottom line, there might be three dead cats, not two. Got it. So it's a bit of a gotcha.

And it's also a, you know, so, in fact, my joke would have been. Maybe. Maybe my joke would have been funnier and landed if I had instead said D'Artagnan. Of course, the main character. Here's.

Let me. Let me try my joke again on you guys. Oh, her cat's d'Artagnan. Which must mean that there are at least three other dead cats somewhere around, I. E.

The titular three musketeers. As we all know, D'Artagnan was the main character in the Three Musketeers, but who was not down with the three musketeers until he befriended them and then became a de facto fourth musketeer and joke. Good. Better. I'm laughing.

I mean, I'm crushing. Crushing it. I think I'm going to edit that version in and re upload the episode. Please do. Oh, man.

I wish I could go back and redo a lot of my jokes based on the fact checking and gotcha journalism of discord. Thank you, Naseem, for that correction. It is, in fact, paramount to understanding why my joke didn't work. Thank you. Johnny unusual writes.

So Gerard Butler's character is named Mike Chadway. Around the time of the film, Chad became Internet slave, playing especially in incel spaces, parenthetically meaning a young, sexually active alpha male. So Mike Chadway is literally showing everybody the Chad way. Okay, Johnny unusual. Yes, Molly, are there a lot of incel spaces?

Molly Reynolds
Is this like a community that has interaction with each other? Oh, I think that. Yes, I think that's quite a bit of what's happening. I think that that's, like, what? I think that is what's going on.

Jason Mantzoukas
I think that that is those kind of Reddit, four Chan communities looks maxing, you know, all that kind of stuff. I think that is part of a. I'm sure. Listen, Johnny unusual, maybe you can write back in with more clarification on incel spaces. Incel, Johnny unusual puts in quotes anyway.

Yes, I'm certain. I mean, the Internet is a gathering space for, you know, for, you know, me to talk about Joni Mitchell with other Joni Mitchell fans and for, you know, I guess, incels to talk about incel stuff, I would assume. I mean, I always thought it was a very, like, solo activity or, you know, very insular. So I'm happy to know that they have community, I guess. Oh, yeah, no, I think that a lot of the reason that, like, some of this stuff takes off is because people find each other on in online communities and perpetuate stuff that is, you know, you know, listen, if you're a flat earther out there and you're listening to the show, I'm curious, what's up?

How how, how, where, why, you know, send us a song. Send us a theme song. Send us a theme song that illustrates for corrections and omissions why you believe the earth is flat and how you think it's not. That would be great. I would love that.

Scott Aukerman
You would love that as the person who doesn't have to screen all the phone calls. Yeah, you know what? Here's the deal. Give Scott more work. Hey, Molly also helps with phone calls as well.

Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, okay. But don't give Molly more work. Oh, no, just give Scott more work. I'm brutal. Anytime they start talking about, like, thirst.

Molly Reynolds
Comments about Jason. Deleted. Get him out of there. Not interested. Get him out of there.

Jason Mantzoukas
Okay. Sean McBee from discord writes for the vibrating panties scene. It was my full expectation that there would not be a remote in the box at all, because Gerard Butler would have taken it. This would not only explain the opened box and allow for him to have been the one controlling it, but it would also give the opportunity for him to gloat that he knew she would put the panties on, further establishing him as a man who has women. Totally figured out.

When he was surprised that she was wearing them in the restaurant, I was entirely disappointed. Well, sean McBee, I'm not going to lie. I thought the exact same thing that you did. I thought that for sure Gerard Butler was going to have the remote and was going to then be able to use it. I assumed when they were not together, right.

That they would be separated. She would be at the business dinner, and he would be remotely activating the thing from someplace else. And that's the. Would be the funny scene. Now, you are saying that the.

You are disappointed that that wasn't the case, Sean, and I'm saying disagree strongly. Your disappointment unfounded. Because, boy, was it so much better that instead it was a child. A child that was making the vibrator work. A child that was causing Katherine Heigl to have a full body orgasm in the middle of a crowded restaurant, where a child is present with the remote control for the vibrated underwear.

That's a scene we wouldn't have gotten if your version, Sean, was true. So that makes your version much worse. So your disappointment. Well, you're totally entitled to it, I think is wrong. We got what we got.

Thank God. Even though I can't even imagine why they made. The choice they made to give that remote control to the child was easily the most insane. How children. What children are given access to in the movie.

The ugly truth are. Is bananas. Truly. I don't understand why there's even kids in the movie. Shouldn't be.

Get them out of there. Get kids out of my movies. How about that? Okay, so that's what people were writing about on discord. Now we're gonna go to the goddamn phones.

Scott, play me down. All right. And for this first call, just a little backstory in case what? In case you don't remember. Cause I know you taped this a long time ago.

Why do we even need backstory? We shouldn't need backstory for phone calls. I gotta be honest. If your phone call needs backstory, don't make the call. This phone call is in reference to June mentioned she got some dating advice from an unnamed friend that was essentially to be a lighthouse when texting a guy, which was sending the guy kind of a fake, accidental text to kind of guide them to you later.

What? Okay. I don't remember this, but. Okay, go ahead. This is anonymous.

Unknown
Hi. This message is for June, specifically about her relationship advice about being a lighthouse. And I once heard this same advice. I believe it was given originally on a bitch sesh episode, and I would tell all my friends about it. I'm like, oh, my God.

Listen, this is great lighthouse advice. Until one of my friends told me that lighthouses are actually to deter boats, and they actually are supposed to warn ships of, like, dangerous coastlines. So maybe don't be a lighthouse, because you may never get the ship to come close to you, if that's what you would like. Just thought I would share. Bye.

Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, no. Wow. You know what is interesting? When. Whenever I drop into this is how seriously people take the stuff that I don't think is meant seriously.

And. And maybe I'm wrong, anonymous, but because I agree with you, in the context of what you're saying, a lighthouse is a warning. It's saying, hey, don't come here. Don't come over here. Here is land.

You might not be able to see it right now because it's dark, but that's why we put this light, hit this lighthouse here on this promontory. So you don't come close and. And. And get fucked up on the rocks. Okay?

So that's what a lighthouse is. You're absolutely right. My. Now maybe I'm wrong. Now, to be a lighthouse, that's not what June was suggesting as a.

It's not a warning. Right. It's. It's. What is.

What's the. What's the issue? Yeah, so that's what they're saying, is essentially the phrase to be a lighthouse, as June was saying, was incorrect, because she. She was saying that, like, once you. Get a guy's number, you're saying, Scott.

You're saying, Scott. I want to make sure you're saying correct. June was incorrect. This is anonymous. You just said it twice, Scott.

Scott Aukerman
Nobody loop this and post it anywhere, or June is gonna ream me. No, I mean. I mean, I don't know. I think we're drilling down too deep into this. I don't think June meant, I don't think June meant it the way you're taking it.

Jason Mantzoukas
Anonymous. But I agree with Anonymous that a lighthouse is meant to be something that warns people away from. That would be like saying, you know, in order to attract someone, you should, you should, you should wave red flags at them. But no, also, though, like a lighthouse would cause the gentleman in this situation, or the other person in the situation to chase after you, to look, to chase after you. Well, what's interesting, I think what you're chasing is right, Molly.

I think that's what's behind this idea is like, shine a bright light, you know, shine your light onto someone, let them see how bright your light is, and then they will find you or whatever. That's my guess, is what it is, is to be, is to stand out and to shine a light on something. But I think, I do think it's confusing only because if you drill down into it, yes, a lighthouse is there to warn people away from that exact location. So you shouldn't be like a lighthouse warning people away from you, but you should be like a lighthouse. Let your light shine.

Let your light shine on the people that you want to shine it on. Right? Does that make sense? Or crazy? Be a north star.

Scott Aukerman
Gotta be. Wait, what? Be a north star. What do you want now? Be a north star.

The North Star guides you. The standards for women are so impossible. We cannot be north stars. We cannot be lighthouses. Just be you, bro.

Jason Mantzoukas
Just be you, bro. Thank you, Molly. That's very well said. Just be you, bro. And that's what we're doing.

Graham from Saskatchewan, go. Hey, Paul from Sandwin here. Great job on the show about the ugly truth. Just want to give you a little tidbit about Sacramento. Those who follow canadian football here in Canada think of only one thing when we think of Sacramento.

It's the city that was the very first american city to ever play in the CFL was the Sacramento gold Miners in 1993. They lasted two seasons before they moved to San Antonio, where they eventually folded. And. Yeah, so Sacramento isn't good enough to even have a CFL team. Have a good day, guys.

Okay, Graham from Saskatchewan giving us a lot of an info dump on canadian football. Just I. Wow. I know. He said a bunch of stuff.

Sacktown apparently had a team, canadian foot. I don't know what's up. I'll be honest, this is the first time I'm finding out there was a. Canadian football team, I'm really upset right now. Why?

Because I don't know about football. Grant from Saskatchewan, trying to, like, throw shit on Sacramento's name. Fuck you, Graham. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on, Molly.

Go, offender. Let's go. I'm pissed. Okay, first of all, I. Yeah.

Graham from Saskatchewan, sit down and take it. Listen to me. A person who doesn't care about sports, talk about sports. Yeah, Saskatchewan. Do you guys have an NBA team?

Molly Reynolds
Do you guys have a basketball team that can light the beam up? No. So fuck you. No one cares about football. Yeah, he.

Jason Mantzoukas
Shit. Graham from Saskatchewan, do you have a. Minor league baseball team called the River Rats? No. Yeah, Graham.

What's up with your curling league? Graham. Lame.

Molly Reynolds
Sorry. I'm pissed. The ugly truth, though, did show Sacramento in a very excellent light, as opposed to beautiful disaster, which was shot in Bulgaria. The ugly truth. Oh, that's right.

Actually shot in Sacramento, which is pretty cool. Wow. Okay. I mean, Molly, is this where I am finding out that you are from Sacramento? Yeah, unfortunately, yeah.

Jason Mantzoukas
Wow. I had no idea. Huge reveal. Huge reveal. Yes.

Wow. Wow, wow. Okay, so, Graham. Wow, you really got it. Like double barrel from Molly.

And you know what? We don't need to hear. You know? You guys know how I feel about Canada. Not a fan.

Also don't like football. You're telling me. Graham from Saskatchewan's calling about Canadian Football league? Pass. Hard pass.

No. Next call. Go to the calls, Scott. Go now. There's no more calls.

Scott Aukerman
We're going back to discord. We're going back to the discord. Back to the discord. I already said we finished the discord. You're making me look like an idiot.

Yeah, we do. A little discord sandwich. Discord. Call discord. Wait, why.

Jason Mantzoukas
Why didn't you say discord sandwich? Because I'm. Now I look like an asshole. Because I said we were done with the discord, and now I'm. Now it's written in here.

Back to the discord. No, we should have one discord section, then phone calls. There's too many back. We're going back and forth too much. Here we are.

Here we are. I'm going to read these things from the discord. More discord things. Okay. Doctor guts 1003 writes, if Gerard Butler is so confident in his skills at helping Kathryn Heigl get together with Colin, why hasn't he helped his sister find a man?

So I believe Doctor guts 1003. And I'm shocked that this wasn't clear to you. I believe he's helping Katherine Heigl get together with Colin, because they have the sexual chemistry and they are the leads of the movie. I think if in the movie, I think if in the movie, he had eschewed helping Katherine Heigl and Colin get together, and instead it had been focused on him helping his sister find true love, and then by your rationale, he would have fallen in love with his own sister and realized she's the one for him. Doctor guts 1003.

I understand you're trying to promote a pro incest version of this movie. Respectfully, I disagree. I think the movie is the way it should be. It should be a love story between Kathryn Heigl and Gerard Butler. I don't think it should be about Gerard Butler and the.

And Bonnie Somerville, who played his sister. I think that would be just gross. Back to the discord. Wait, Johnny unusual again, he's back. Johnny unusual coming in hot.

Apparently loved this episode. Johnnyunusual writes, as a straight dude, I need to say having Katherine Heigl sexually suck on a hot dog isn't sexy. I won't yuck the yums of anyone who this works for, but I feel like of all the phallic food, a hot dog is a bad idea because of the condiments, the bun, and the choking hazard element. Johnny unusual. I gotta disagree with you there.

The choking hazard element is a plus. I think that's a feature, not a bug. I disagree with you wholeheartedly, Johnny unusual, because I think hot dogs are easily one of the most easily phallic things. That also goes at a baseball game, aren't they? At a baseball game?

Scott Aukerman
Yeah. Imagine so what? Johnny unusual. You think they're at the baseball game? She needs to have a phallic thing.

Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, she just happens. Maybe there's a guy walking around. There's a guy walking. Peanuts here, popcorn here. There's a guy being like, bananas here.

Bananas get, you get your, get your ripe bananas here. What do you think, Johnny unusual. You're at a baseball game. You need something. You're telling me, and your rationale is because of the condiments, the bun, and the choking hazard.

So you're saying that takes you out of imagining the hot dog as a dick. You're like, it's too dressed up. I don't like my dicks dressed up with. With clothes and condiments on them. Guess what, Johnny unusual.

Get out of here. There's no other food that could have normally been served. I mean, a corn dog, maybe I. Maybe. You know what?

I take it back. Maybe I can imagine a corn dog being served at a ballgame and her using that. But you know what? Then Johnny unusual would be writing, you know what? I didn't like the corn dog to suck on, because, you know, it's dressed.

The dog is dressed in all that corn. All that corn bread, all that breads around it. I don't want. When someone is sucking my dick, my dick doesn't have bread all around it with condiments on it. Says, johnny unusual.

You know what? No, disagree. The scene. I don't think the scene works sexually. Let me be clear.

Johnny unusual, I think you're. You're not wrong. I wasn't turned on, but you're 100% wrong as to the why. I think there are other people who could. I could.

Here's you know what, Johnny unusual, I'll put it back on you. Why don't you watch a few scenes from a tv show that people call the league, where my character, Rafi, pulls hot dogs out of his pocket all the time and chows down on them sexually? Watch that and tell me if you're not a little turned on. Johnny unusual. I'm not trying to yuck anybody's yums, but you're gonna be yummin all over the place when you watch those scenes from the league where I eat hot dogs.

There are so many of them. Anyway. Okay. Wow. Okay.

Here's what it says in the script. I'm just gonna read it. So many great corrections and omissions. Were there so many great. Okay.

No, there were. Here's what it should write. Here's what it should read. Well, many corrections and omissions this week, everybody. Okay, but guess what?

There can only be one best. And this week's best is Naseem. Naseem, you win. Because you know what? Even though it was a bit of a gotcha, and it was a bit of a hey, you got it wrong to me, directed at me, it was nonetheless directed at me.

Everything else was for Paul. Hey, Paul. Hey, Paul. Hey, Paul. Hey, Paul.

Paul. Paul this, Paul that. Guess what? I'm here today. And the same helped me gain clarity on exactly what's going on in the three Musketeers, and correcting me to know that the three Musketeers are three other people, and D'Artagnan was the fourth, who was their enemy and then their friend, and thus became the fourth musketeer.

So I don't understand. I'm not going to go back. I'm not going to read it. But, Nassim, you win the week. Great job.

Thank you for participating. And here inexplicably, is a song that is just winner's theme. There's a winner's theme every. Come on, everybody. We gotta stand on our own 2ft.

Okay? We're gonna get pumped up here. Rob from Long island has it. It's the winner's theme. Hit it, Scott.

Hey, you. Congratulations. You won a nice vacation. And an in ground pool and a car. But we gave it away to a charity.

Because we all know just how selfless a person you are. But we don't want to send you away empty handed. That's not what this all is about. So here, take the garbage with you as you leave. And don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

You win. Great, great. Rob from Long island home run. I loved it. I loved great, great vibes.

I liked the message, you know, good work. Okay, if you've got thoughts about our latest episode, hit up the discord at Discord Dot GG HDTGM. That's where to go to find us. I'm assuming the GG stands for Gilmore girls. So Discord dot GG, aka Gilmore Girls Slash HDtGm.

That is where you go to go on the discord for this show. Our show. How did this get made? Not Gilmore girls. I'm sure there's one for Gilmore girls as well.

And you can go figure that out. But you can also leave us a voicemail, as so many people have at six one nine. Paul, ask. That's 619. P a U L A s k.

Leave us a voicemail. Make them short. Get to the point if you want. It might be smart to maybe write it down a little bit. Write down what you want to say so you can be cogent, thoughtful, concise, and really get it out there so you're not just, like, logging onto the zoom and freestyling a whole episode without having once looked at the script.

You know, maybe, like, maybe you respect the people you work with and, like, write it down a little bit and do a little bit of legwork beforehand. You don't have to be such an asshole.

Hold on. Okay, come. Okay, here we go. Okay. Leave all this in.

Okay, coming up after one final break. Wow, we still have a break, so too many breaks. Okay. By the way, keep all this in still. Okay, coming up after one final break, I'll reveal next week's movie.

And I'll also recommend a few things that I'm currently loving. But first, the audience in Glasgow had so many great questions about the ugly truth that we wanted to share more of them with. You. We cut some out. That's what you don't know.

You know, there's a lot of stuff we cut out of the episodes, and. And you guys at home, you don't get to hear any of that shit except for right now when we're giving you a couple of morsels. So here we go. Bonus deleted scene from the show. Check it out.

Hi. My name's Claire. Okay, what's your question? So my question is, what did you think of Jared Butler's accent, or lack thereof, and why was he speaking from. The corner of his mouth for the whole time?

Advertisement
Yeah, so we did touch on this a little bit, right? Was he doing an accent? Was he not doing an accent? I do think he was trying to. I mean, listen, the exposition about his entry into this country was also strange because it sounded like he came here on a little league scholarship.

Jason Mantzoukas
I couldn't understand what that was. One of the. One of the facts about him was that he urinated on someone. Wait, wait. Gerard Butler.

Advertisement
Or he got charged with public urination on some. Mike. Yeah, Mike. Sorry, not Gerard Butler, but maybe. I mean, here's the thing.

Jason Mantzoukas
He's clearly. This accent, this beautiful, mellifluous accent that you all have. Beautiful. He clearly can't get rid of, so they had to put some little line to explain it there. And by the way, boy, did it make him charming for me.

I'm in the bag. I'm in the bag for Jerry. I watch. That's why I was like, just make his sister have the same accent as his. Insane that.

It's Bonnie Somerville just being like, I don't know what he's doing. I literally watched a movie where Arnold Schwarzenegger played a border patrol cop on the border of Mexico. With that accent, I didn't question a goddamn thing. Does it? I didn't think, tell me he's american.

I got second. I was like Sacramento's own Gerard Butler. Absolutely fine by me. All right, your name. Your question.

Jason Mantzoukas
My name is Raymond. The logic of the film is that butler becomes a prick because women. His heart's breaking. By women, does that mean Colin is going to turn into a prick because we don't find his story?

And one last thing, another title for the film. Gerald Butler. Be no storm. Wait, wait. Say it again.

Wait. Oh, no. Beano Storm. Thank you. Thank you.

There is. It's incredible how many syllables the word film has in this accent. I know I was really trying to understand. That's where I got lost. When you put, I think, four syllables in film, which is one.

Wow.

All the gurus, all the coaches out there, they've never said the words eat more Reese's. I mean, the combination of sweet chocolate and salty peanut butter, I mean, this is something that brings other people and ourselves joy. That's why there's two in a pack shop. Reese's peanut butter cups. Now, at a store near you, found wherever candy is sold, and often in my pantry, because I love these.

Jason Mantzoukas
All right, welcome back now, I'm sure you've noticed that every Monday we put out an old how did this get made? Episode back into the main feed. This past week's matinee Monday was Ernest goes to jail, a conversation that I barely remember, except for June expressing her desire for earnest, that he is when he's evil earnest, that he's handsome. And that's this episode so long ago that it is part of the opening theme song. The current opening theme song, bad Jim Varney looking kind of nice, I believe, is the the lyric in the theme song.

And next week, another how did this get made? Classic. Certified classic. Moonfall. Moon.

Guys, guys. Moonfall. Moonfall is awesome. Moonfall is absolutely perfect for this show in that way that geostorm, it's got big geostorm energy. Moonfall.

Loved it. Check it out. Watch it. To me. Moonfall.

Absolutely one of those movies that you've got to watch. Don't be like, I'm not in the mood. Watch it. You're not going to regret it. It's a goddamn home run.

Okay, it's finally time to announce dun dun dun, our next movie. Oh, you're all waiting. Everybody's listening to the whole show. Show just to wait for this one moment. And you're right.

Next week's movie is the big one of the biggest box office flops from this year, 2024. That's recent. This movie is only months old. It is called Madame Webb. Madame Webb, which also features.

I'm not gonna lie to you guys, how did this get made? All star, certified all star Adam Scott. Wow. From, I mean, who's watched all the fast and furious movies with us except for the last one and an integral part of the how did this get made? Team.

He is a dear friend, and boy, did we just go to town on him in this Madame Webb episode. So if you want to hear what we said full blast, you better listen to the app. Rotten Tomatoes rates this film at 11% on their tomato meter. Please, come on. We gotta stop talking about Rotten Tomatoes and the tomato meter.

It's flawed science. Get rid of it. David Sims from the Atlantic, personal friend, a past guest of this podcast, and I am a past and hopefully future guest on his podcast. Blank check. Quote, David Sims.

I almost admire the sheer lack of effort on display in the acting, storytelling, and set pieces. To say that Johnson in particular phoned in this performance would be an insult to Alexander Graham Bell, unquote. Whoa. Savage takes from Sims. Wow.

The Atlantic. You know, David Sims is just one of the best in the biz. Read him in the Atlantic. One of the most interesting people writing about film these days. Okay, so I gotta be honest with you.

We've already recorded this episode. It's dynamite. I had a great time. Spoiler alert. I loved it.

I loved the movie. I'm sorry. I'm a week early and I'm telling you already, I loved it. Five stars. Five star movie.

Madame Webb loved it. Oh, so we're gonna play the trailer for this now? Do I have to. Do we have to listen to it? No, you have to throw to it.

Scott Aukerman
But we don't have to play it. We'll insert. All right, let me now throw to the trailer. Madame Webb. I can see the future.

Jason Mantzoukas
Ezekiel sins. He's got these crazy powers I'm more interested in and why he's trying to kill us in the future. Those girls are going to destroy me.

Unknown
If you want to live, you have to trust me.

Get down.

Jason Mantzoukas
Madam Webb. Coming soon. Exclusively in cinemas. Okay, so that was the trailer for Madame Webb. You can stream it, you know, all over the place.

It's free on Netflix. If you want to, you can rent it all over the place. Any streaming service will have it for rent, but you don't have to. It's free on Netflix. Also, you can watch it on Hoopla or canopy if you.

What? Scott, why are you interrupting me? What do you possibly want? I'm talking about libraries. It's not on hoopla and canopy, but we like to plug those services separately as just free services.

Scott Aukerman
You should check out. Cause you can. But it's not on there. It's not on there? No.

Jason Mantzoukas
Okay. So what? A fucking bait and switch. What a rug pull. Oh, also, we would love to shout out Hoopla and canopy, but guess what?

You can't watch this movie there. See, Scott, that's that. I don't like that we're giving people a problem. All right, I'll admit it. I've invested in Hoopla and Canopy.

Yeah, I knew it. I knew it. Anyway, I agree. Houplan, canopy, canopy, especially free service provided by the library. We love libraries.

We love librarians. We love. We love everything that's going on at the libraries these days. So if you want. If you didn't know, let me be the first to tell you.

A lot. A lot of the movies that we do on this show are available for free on these library supported apps. So what are you doing? Wasting your time renting them or watching them with commercials? You're out of your mind.

Get to the library. Oh, okay. Did we do the I'm sorry, did we need to. Is there a section for the discord about libraries, Scott? Is it?

Do we have more? Do we have more discord, people? Does doctor guts 1003 have any thoughts about the library? About hoopla and Canopy? Scott?

God damn. He sent a couple of pages in, but I'll skip him this week. We'll get it apart next time. Okay, so this section says Jason's picks segment. Great.

So before we wrap up, I've got some stuff that I want to talk about. I wrote a bunch of stuff done. I thought this was going to be most of it. Honestly, I wrote a whole bunch of stuff done because I thought I was going to do this for most of it, but instead I had to read all this garbage from you guys. So I hope you're happy.

Well done, assholes. Rip David Sanborn. You know, you've heard me talk here about night music, the tv show night Music, the Sunday night companion piece. Two seasons companion piece to Saturday Night Live. Produced by Lorne Michaels and Hal Wilner and featuring.

Hosted by David Sanborn. Saxophone. Alto saxophone player. David Sanborn. Incredible musical host, incredible musician.

One of my favorite shows. I've been watching it. There's a ton of episodes on YouTube. Night music is the song. I can't recommend it enough.

I guarantee a band that you like at some point was on that show. If you want to watch the pixies or sonic youth, from Sun Ra to Sonny Rollins. This is an incredible collection of live musical performances from such an interesting variety of acts that I cannot recommend it enough. It's night music. Rip David Sanborn.

Fantastic tv shows. I want to shout out some tv shows. These are all british tv shows. Okay? I've talked about such brave girls before.

The show is fantastic. They just got ordered for season two. Now's the time to watch season one go. Extraordinary. Season two shows.

Fantastic. I think both of. I think both of those are on Hulu. I didn't write down where these are. Uh, so.

But look in the show notes. I'm going to make Scott make links to all of these. Such brave girls. Extraordinary. The John Brown show, dead pixels.

Fantastic. The. The show. There's two seasons of a beautiful show called Mum on Britbox starring Leslie Manville. It is absolutely fantastic.

It's very funny, but also very sweet and heartbreaking. It's giving me big Roger and Val vibes. If you've heard me talk about Roger and Val are getting home before. Fantastic. Incredible show.

Alfred Molina and Don French. Beautiful half hour show. This gives me a lot of those vibes. Great, great show. Mum.

Mu m on Hulu. British tutor set. Murder mystery. Shard Lake. Shard Lake.

That's the detective. It's apparently books. Haven't read them, didn't know it, but it's a murder mystery set in Tudor, England. You've got a bunch of great players in there. It's a blast.

Shard Lake. But here's the. Oh, also, I'm going to, I'm going to just, I'm going to keep running the board here. I don't care. We are lady parts.

Season two out now. You're a fool if you're not watching it. It's one of the best half hours of television going season one and season two, both on Peacock. Absolutely dynamite show. And the show creator, Nita Manzur also had an incredible one of my favorite movies of last year called polite society.

I can't recommend it enough. It's available to stream. It's a great movie. And we are lady parts. Back for season two.

Season three of Shorzy coming up soon. I'm just putting it on your radar, guys. Shorzy coming up, season three. I'm rewatching and, and really want to talk passionately to everyone in our audience about the Andy Dailey show. Review this show was on Comedy Central many years ago.

I'm in an episode of it, full disclosure, where we smash. Andy and I both smash cars into oblivion. I spent an entire day smashing a car to bits with an iron rod and have never been so sore in my entire life for like the three days afterwards I was destroyed. The show is top to bottom. T two b.

One of the funniest, silliest, smartest, most absurd shows I've ever seen. I loved it then. I love it even more now. It is a slept on gem. It is a classic.

It is absolutely one of the most hilarious shows of the last 20 years. Review. It is now available to stream on probably Paramount Plus. Paramount Plus. I bet you're right, Scott.

Paramount plus. You're right. I bet that's it. So review on Paramount plus. Also, pound for pound, the funniest show that's working right now.

Girls five ever. Season three just came out and it's a banger. It's. The show is absolutely hilarious. You guys know I love the kings.

Good wife, good fight. Elsbeth. Coming off of Elsbeth Tasioni, one of the side characters in all these shows, has her own show now. It's fantastic. It's called Elsbeth.

There's ten episodes. Go watch them. It's a blast. And also, season four of the Fantastic King's show evil has just come out or is just coming out. I can't remember.

I don't know when it is in relation to this dropping, but that show is available on Paramount plus and they're four seasons in. This fourth season is going to be the final season. It's fantastic. The show is a blast. Last but not least, I was on John Gabriel's podcast high and mighty recently and we talked about a whole bunch of stuff, dad, tv, all sorts of stuff.

But one of the things we talked about was being a middle aged guy who is only now starting to get into or try and figure out anime. I now have a crunchyroll submission subscription, so. Oh, actually that's a good question. So if you're out there now, don't go crazy with this, guys. But if you're out there, I'm watching a show called free Run that is, I think, absolutely incredible.

This show is, this is a absolutely stunning, beautiful show about friendship and the found family. And it's about, you know, a fellowship of adventurers that are, that are, you know, fighting demons and dragons and all sorts of stuff that you would expect from high fantasy. But it's also a show that's about human connection and aging and it's about the relationships that we have and what it takes to maintain them and what it feels like to lose touch with people and then find them or find them too late or it's, it's such a human show told through the. It's a show about being human told through the eyes of an elf, an elf who is essentially immortal. And so what is it when you are, when you live that long?

And time is so, it seems to just stretch out in front of you. What is the lifespan of a human? It's a blink and their life is done. And so it's about this elf named Freiren who kind of jumps back and forth in time to these two different fellowship, these two different fellowships she has and how she is dealing with them and learning how to be more engaged and a better. Anyway, I don't want to drone on about it, but boy, it is absolutely stunningly beautiful.

And nothing, you know, they still fight dragons and do all that stuff, but it's about so much more. It's called Freerun beyond Journey's end and it's absolutely dynamite. Okay, so on here, I've asked a couple of times if anybody could help me find the Judy Sill documentary. And guess what? It's out.

I've seen it and it's fantastic lost angel, the genius of Judy Sill. Judy Sill, seventies era singer songwriter. An incredible story. A heartbreaking story in many ways. She puts out a number of, like, absolutely stunning records.

And the documentary has interviews with, you know, the peer group at that time. For Judy Seale in Los Angeles is your Jackson Browns, your Linda Ronstadt's, your James Taylor's. Like that era of LA, the troubadour, that era of that seventies La scene. And Judy Sill, an integral part of it, but like a kind of lost to time person. And those records are a little lost, and they are absolutely beautiful.

She's an incredible singer songwriter. I can't recommend the documentary enough, but even more so, please, if you. If you don't watch the doc, seek out the albums, go to wherever you listen to music and listen to some Judy silly. Um, you won't be disappointed. It's fantastic.

Okay, here's the thing. So a number of times I've come on here and asked for people's help finding stuff, and, boy, have you guys helped on multiple occasions. Because of you, I have now access to Roger and Val, for example, or because of you, the audience. I now have access to 30 something. Thank you.

Thank you. If you've helped get me the stuff that I'm looking for, and guess what? I'm still looking for stuff. So one of the things I'm looking for is Smiley's people. The John le Carre miniseries, the.

The Alec Guinness miniseries of the John, the. The smiley story. I can't find it streaming anywhere. Can't find it. So if you have a way to get Smiley's people, let me know.

I'm also looking to see, and maybe this is just obvious, and I just don't know. And maybe the answer is, I gotta get acorn tv or something like that. But I would like to see the adaptation of Jeff Lemire's Essex county. It was done in Canada. I love that comic or that graphic novel so much.

I'm a big Jeff Lemire fan. I love everything he's doing with Andrea Sorrentino, tenement and the black barn stuff. All this stuff, I think, is great, and I love his writing. And I'm so intrigued that they made an adaptation of this book, Essex county. Can't find it anyway.

So if you know how to get me Essex county, the tv show, send it away. I know it's canadian, so it's probably, I'm sure what's a Graham from Saskatchewan is going to have something to fucking say about it. God damn it. Okay, those are the things. And I'm still looking for 32 sounds, the documentary, 32 sounds.

So somebody send me that. Okay, great. So those are the things I wanted to recommend. Actually, no, there's a couple more things. Podcasts.

I recommended it. A couple of. I recommended it, I think, the last time I was on, but, boy, it's in full swing. And this season of Dissect about MF Doom is fantastic. I can't recommend it enough.

It is a. It's an incredible show. It's an incredible deep dive into MF doom and mad lib and the mad villainy album. But MF doom as a whole, as starting a camd and going all the way through it, is absolutely riveting stuff. Fantastic.

I think it's a great show. Dissect already one of my favorite shows, um, the. From the Kendrick season to the Frank Ocean season to the recent Radiohead season, I think it's one of the. It's pound for Pound, uh, one of the best music podcasts out there, I'd say that. And song exploder, uh, and all songs considered are some of my absolute favorites.

And here's a plug. I will be a guest on all songs considered, I believe, next week, I think, or within the next few weeks, I'll be honest. I'm not sure if I'm gonna. I'm supposed to say that or if I'm supposed to announce that I'm doing it, but I recorded an episode, and I hope they put it out soon. We talked about a lot of great music, and I had a great time, and I was truly, absolutely delighted to be on a show that I listen to every week.

So absolute blast. I will also recommend the brand new podcast from friend of the show Alan McCloud, aka molasses boy. You've heard him on doughboys. You've heard him on myriad other things. He has a new podcast called walking about.

I love this. Conceptually, it is just him on a walk with a friend in Los Angeles. So far, there's only two episodes. Janet Varney and Mike Mitchell. Both are fantastic, and they are just friends on a walk, shooting the shit.

And boy, do I enjoy that. You know, it's. It gives me that those vibes of two johns don't make a right, you know, it is a true hangout show, and it's great. And. And Alan McCloud, one of the funniest people you might know him from.

You're the worst. Or from many other things, but I think it's great. So that's walking about with Alan McLeod. You guys gotta check it out. And I mentioned it earlier, but I do want to give a special shout out to an episode of High and mighty that I did recently with John Gabris.

It was a live stream. I don't think the live stream is available, but the podcast episode is out. We talk about a ton of television. We talk about a ton of stuff. Sean Clements and Carl Tart stop in for a chat, check out John Gabriel's podcast, high and mighty in general.

But that's a good jumping on point if you haven't listened to it. We talk about a lot of the stuff that Paul and I have talked about here, including Bosch, including a lot of other dad tv. So get involved, and then if you like it, subscribe to John's podcast and then also sign up for his Patreon, which I've talked about a lot here. The action boys. Uh, Gabriel does it with Ryan Stanger and Ben Rogers.

It's three dudes talking for like 3 hours, plus about like seventies, eighties, and nineties action movies. So if you want to listen to three very smart, funny people goof around and talk for 3 hours about Jean Claude Van Damme movies, this is the podcast for you. It's called Action Boys. It's only available on Patreon. That's the deal.

Okay, here we are. We're at the end of the show. We're racing to the end credits, and end segment is what this section is called. That's it for the show. Rate and review us, guys.

I swear to God, it helps. It makes no sense, but it helps. Take a brief moment now to rate and review the show. If you listen on Apple podcasts or Spotify, make sure you're following us. Follow us on those platforms, but don't follow us on any other thing, especially in real life.

Don't follow us. Visit us on social media at hDTGM. I'm assuming that's on everything. So whatever social media it is, go to at HDTGM, right? Is that for everything?

Yeah, that's a catch. All right. Okay, great. A big thanks to our producers, Scott Sanni and Molly Reynolds, our movie picking producer, Avril Halley, our associate producer, Jess Cisneros, and our engineer, Casey Holford. We'll see you next week for Madame Webb.
