The video offers a sharp insight into how a film's commercial failure can be recontextualized as a triumph of pure absurdity. It proves that cinematic value is often found in the wreckage of a failed vision rather than in box office success.

>> What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the Crown Cinema Podcast. In this episode, we are breaking down >> and literally just watched the Land of the Lost.
>> Land of the Lost.
>> You guys never seen it? I love this movie. seen it countless times.
>> Yeah, this is my first time. Uh, makes sense.
>> It's funny when I watch this movie, I literally care zero for the plot. I do not care anything happening in the story line, but I just love the scenes. I just love Will Frell in this movie. I love Danny McBride. Re-watching it, I'm just looking forward to like every scene of just whatever the hell Will Frell is about to come out, whatever the hell's about to come out of Will Farrell's mouth. I think it took me about 30 to 40 minutes and then I just finally had the mindset of, you know what, I don't care.
I'm gonna enjoy this movie. I don't care what happens. It's not going to ruin my Friday. We're we're we're filming this on a Friday. And I mean, damn it, it's it's Will Frell and Danny McBride.
>> Their only movie together.
>> Yeah. So, like they are funny, you know, no matter what you try to do to them, you know, they're going to be funny.
Here's the other thing. I feel like this is just I feel like you could watch this movie on drugs. Part of me thinks you're supposed to kind of be on something.
>> You need what? Chaka. And they all took need the chaka drugs. The chaka drink.
>> Like it's just that absurd. So once you just kind of accept it, just give into it, you can have a good time watching this movie. If you don't like this movie, that's your fault.
>> Well, if you don't like this movie, you're five watches away from making it your funniest your favorite comedy movie. It like ex gets exponentially funnier every time you rewatch it.
>> It has to have a cult following because I I'm just like >> I mean it was a massive flop at the box office. [laughter] Like I mean I have some stats here about just why this is like the worst movie ever that people >> come on the worst movie ever.
>> I but again like I think it's one of those like I think it's so bad that it actually makes it funny. Like I think they buy into it.
>> Yeah.
>> Like just in the movie like I feel like you can see at some certain point they were like all right [ __ ] this like just to hell with it. Let's >> I can't believe it's PG-13. One of the Google suggested questions is, is Land of the Lost a parody movie?
>> Is it? I mean, so it's based on a show, right?
>> So, it's based on a show, an original TV series is a Saturday children's show that would come on called Land of the Lost.
>> Okay. So, it was a children's show.
>> Yes. It was like a cult classic, you know, beloved show for kids back in the day, 50s. I don't even know when.
>> Okay, that's funny. And so, but the so the obviously the creators of the show sold the rights off for Land of the Lost. And when they saw the movie, they were so mad. They were like, "That is not Land of the Lost." Like, they were pissed about how this came off.
They like disowned this movie as a part of what their [snorts] world they created was. [laughter] They called it the worst movie ever made. And but Universal Studios bought the rights to this movie with the entire and sole intention of putting Will Ferrell in it. Like they wanted to make Land of the Lost a Will Frell movie. So Universal knew what they were doing when they casted Will Ferrell in Land of the Lost. They didn't really care to follow the blueprint of the show.
>> I mean knew what they were doing. I think that might be a bit of a a bit of a stretch. Like >> yeah, >> look what I like everybody knows what they're doing. I mean, this movie came out in 2009, so they start filming in like 2008, maybe 2007, >> which is peak Will Ferrell.
>> So, you're just trying >> to the top of the game.
>> Yes. You're just trying to just trying to get him like, you know, it's just the idea that anything he touches right now is going to be gold. Mhm.
>> And Danny McBride, I don't know what he would have done at this point besides the movie he made with Jody Hill, the the kung fu movie, >> which Fist Foot Way, >> Fist of the Fury. I don't know. I still I got to watch that one. I feel kind of like a fraud cuz I do like Danny McBride a lot. Um, Eastbound and Down had a lot to do with college for me, but I have not seen that movie.
>> I have not seen it either. Um, obviously like I love him. Pineapple Express the foot fist way 200. Oh, he did Hot Rod in 2007 >> and Pineapple Express >> and Pineapple Express. Okay, never mind.
>> Okay, so they are trying to they're just trying to put these two guys together and be like, "All right, this has to work, right?"
>> Yeah.
>> And you know what?
>> If you go into if again if you just let go, it does work. I once I realized that it just the movie sucked. you cuz you told me before we watched it. I was like, "Dude, I can't believe like I've never, you know, I I don't think this is good cuz I would have heard of it, right?" You're like, "My sucks, but they're funny." I was like, "The movie sucks, but they're funny." Okay. And I see.
>> Yes.
>> I understand you. You won't understand what that means unless you go watch it.
>> I love this movie so much that one person commented on one of our recent episodes and said, "Land the Lost next."
And I said, "Done. [laughter] I miss that. I think that's also why I like this movie more is I think it's hilarious that you love this movie.
>> Yeah, because it's I love it.
>> It's so funny that this is one of your hidden treasures.
>> Like me and my brother freaking love this movie. Like we've seen it together probably at least 10 times.
>> What do you think?
>> I'm sorry I'm yawning. It's Friday.
[laughter] >> This is not the time to yawn. This is the time to get after it.
>> I'm sorry. Uh when do you think was the first time you watched this movie? Cuz that obviously has a big factor in it.
I've watched it so many times I couldn't tell you.
>> I don't know honestly. Like it's always been >> Let's say 2009. So you and you and you and Jacob were too young to watch it at that point.
>> It's PG-13. So you were probably like 12. He he might have been 11 would be my guess.
>> Yeah, probably. I think it was recommended to us and we watched it. It might have been a time when like you know when you have like hang out with your cousins or your friends and like you at night you always watch a comedy movie just to laugh. So once you run out of Step Brothers and you seen that and you seen like all the other ones, you're kind of like looking for like what what else can we see that we haven't seen together? Yeah.
>> And I'm pretty sure Land of the Lost made its way in that rotation and then we were like, "Wow, this movie is hilarious."
>> That is so I mean I think that has to do with everything. I say that, but like I think of all the funny movies that I enjoy, like I'm just looking at this Danny McBride list, like Hot Rod still holds up. Like I feel like if you show anybody Hot Rod, they're going to laugh.
Yeah, >> Pineapple Express. Same thing.
Let's I'm just looking at This Is the End. I feel like everybody loved that.
>> But then, you know, I So, Land of the Lost kind of reminds me of 30 Minutes or Less. I doubt you've seen that.
>> Have not.
>> It's uh Oh, man. Who is it?
>> I forget. Jesse Jesse Eisenberg, I think, is his name.
>> It's definitely Jesse Eisenberg. Uh Mark Zuckerberg.
>> Yes. And the comedian uh there he is. Aziz.
>> Aziz. Aari.
>> That's right. Yeah. This movie kind of gives me Land of the Lost vibes where it's like there's so many funny moment or funny moments in it.
>> Mhm.
>> But it's actually like, you know, I think it just didn't have the it factor.
M.
>> And it's so weird to capture that, especially in comedy. I feel like it's so hard to actually do that.
>> See, but that's Will Frell, old school Will Frell's mastery is he knows exactly how to capture that.
>> Will Pharaoh and Danny McBride are awesome in this movie.
>> So, which obviously, you know, that that works out great. But it's just it's funny that as I'm watching it, it's as if there wasn't a script. They just like gave him a basis of like this is what kind of has to happen and anything can happen but you none of you can die >> and so like you're invincible on in this film and so it's just like oh okay and and now it's just Will Frell and Danny McBride just running around.
>> Yeah. Most of the plot isn't bad in the sense of like how they get to the next step but there was one moment in the movie that just is literally so dumb.
Like it's just a copout in writing. It's when they're getting attacked by the sleeve stack while the lizards are coming and surrounding them the first time and they go to and they're holding onto the vibrating glass thing.
>> Mhm.
>> And she takes out her belt. Holly takes out her belt to like beat him off and like the [laughter] to beat them up.
>> That's not what you said.
>> That's not what I said. And so before she beats him off, her uh >> You said it again.
>> Her belt is like reflecting >> and then out of nowhere, Dr. Rick Marshall has the idea to shine it on the stone eyes that'll then reflect and open up a safety net. Like that's the dumbest writing. That's the most laziest way to get out of that possible. But who cares?
>> I agree. But I can't believe like that's your one example. Like I'm also thinking of other dumb things that happen.
>> Two just right off the top. The fact that they keep outrunning the T-Rexes.
Yeah.
>> Like multiple times the T-Rex is like close to them >> and then like it changes camera angles and now they are like >> miles. football fields away from. But again, like I'm not going to pick it apart. But then I am going to pick it apart at the same time.
>> But that one's that one is okay to me because it's just kind of chops up the movie magic and it's not a serious movie. So like whatever.
>> Like that's why again I accept it. I accept that they're not actually going to like >> make it dramatic.
>> They're Well, they're not going to like let these characters think of crazy ways to get out. It's just like just everybody [ __ ] relax. All right, this land of the lost. Like they're they're not going to die. We're not going to kill him by a dinosaur. The other thing that I noticed >> is like at one point >> Danny McBride's character like hits the the >> the slee stack >> the slee stack and they're like not budging. So it makes it seem like they're just incredibly strong and then the woman just starts beating the [ __ ] out of them like a few minutes later.
Now, one could say that could be funny because like Danny McBride's character is like secretly weak.
>> Yeah. He like tries to be a tough guy.
>> I think the other thing I I don't think I said this while we were watching the movie. I was like, how are they not starving, >> right?
like just never I mean they finally get the crab when they're high on drugs which that was an awesome scene but like I think there was just levels of whenever most times whenever you watch a movie about like characters that are thrown onto a new world or just a new setting and they have to survive the number one thing that like starts to set in is like damn like through all the BS like I still got to eat.
>> Yeah water.
>> Yeah. And they just don't do that.
>> Yeah. Yeah, just they're just they're not hungry. And I think that kind of like I just noticed it more because I thought that was going to be such a big thing in the beginning.
>> Like a joke.
>> Yeah. Because Yeah. Will Frell, >> his character Rick Marshall >> is hungry. He eats a lot.
>> They like threw that in there just for it to not mean anything at all. Right.
That's just Will Frell just eating like explaining like it's a glazed donut with M&M's so you can eat the donut and then not eat the M&M's after. [clears throat] >> So you don't have to eat M&M's after you eat a donut.
>> And then she just randomly finds him in a food coma. And he explains like how he was working so hard that like he needed Arby's and then that wasn't enough. So then he went to Popeye's that wasn't enough so he went to Subway.
>> That quarter inch on rye.
>> Yeah. So that >> quarter pound, whatever he says.
>> So that all happens just for it to mean nothing.
I'm just saying, you know, >> that's dumb. It is incredibly dumb the entire movie. But that's kind of why I love it.
>> I kind of look, I accept it. I was like, "Okay, that's kind of funny that they're just not going to that just didn't mean anything."
>> The writer for the movie, he admitted when they were talking about it, he's like, "Yeah, we didn't we weren't really uh dialed in on that movie. We're pretty we failed. We failed big time on this movie." He said because they were somewhere in the middle between a runchy comedy but then also a familyfriendly movie and they did not pick either side.
So they're like very much in the middle.
So audiences that want a runchy comedy, this movie is too childish. Family movie too runchy. Kids kids can't watch it. So it's in this weird middle ground to where it really doesn't really have an audience.
>> Dude, you had Danny McBride like showing his titty cups at the beginning of the movie and I'm like damn, dude. This is not PG-13. I think it's like I think I want to say it's labeled as a family friend movie. Like I think on Apple TV they call it a a family movie.
>> That's I mean that's funny.
>> Which again it's like they literally that >> you can kind of get away with it. I mean you know the titty cup thing that just kind of gives me like Chevy Chase vibes.
>> Mhm.
>> In Christmas Vacation.
>> Yeah.
>> You know so like whatever. No big deal.
Uh that's not like the end of the world.
But I also don't know. Oh yeah. Like then I I do think of uh what's the the ape the caveman? What's his >> chaka?
>> Like he's explaining to Danny Danny McBride that as the prince of his kingdom when he goes back home he's got thousands of ladies that serve >> him of 7,000 women that serve him.
>> Yeah. Like sexually. And then >> I was like, that's not family friendly.
[laughter] >> Yeah, exactly.
>> That's, you know, I you you talk about the uh the writers just being like, >> part of me thinks that maybe they knew that halfway through because Will Frell's character at like the middle of the movie is just like, I give up.
>> Yes.
>> I'm done.
>> That was the writers talking to us.
>> Well, I wonder if that was just them on set. They're like, "This is the dumbest [ __ ] ever."
>> Yeah.
>> And they were just like, "What if we just gave up, >> you know?" And then Will, he's just like, "Yeah, I give up. I'm gonna put my hand down my pants." And, you know, that's that's about all I got.
>> This episode is sponsored by Lock Lab, the hair growth supplement. 90% effective at improving hair coverage in men. It took Gray from a sad, thinning-haired man to eventually having him just give up and go completely bald.
>> I'll tell you what, it happens really fast. After taking Lock Lab, three to six months later, he's thriving. Full head of hair.
>> What happens is you look up and all of a sudden your hair is just gone. Remember, I went bald for a year. I threw in the towel, dude. Then heard of this little pill called Lock Lab. Gave it a shot and I'll be damned. It worked. This is a true ad. This show will not sponsor anybody whose product we don't use. I understand you're going through the ads and you're thinking there's no way that they've actually found a way to fix it.
They did.
>> And you don't have to go to Turkey.
>> It's so nice. One pill a day. So easy.
>> locklab.co to regrow your hair and stop your thinning now. But the thing about this movie, it the story line does suck and whatever. But it's funny. But >> it sucks so bad that it's funny.
>> It's a massive budget movie. Like they put all their cars into this movie.
>> It was a hundred million dollar budget.
I think that's what makes it even funnier. That's so funny.
>> They made like 60 million and they spent a hundred million on it. They lost $40 million.
>> You can't you can't hit a home run every time, Kade.
>> Now, when they released it, they really didn't plan it out the release very well because Well, honestly, this isn't honest. It's in hindsight, it's it's a fair point to make, but at the time, it doesn't make sense. This movie was released on the same day, same weekend as The Hangover.
>> Yep. Now in retrosp or at that time Bradley Cooper and all the actors at Helms all them in The Hangover were not famous yet. That's like Bradley Cooper's first big movie was The Hangover.
>> Was that the first big one? I mean he was in uh >> he's been in movies but like that was his first like massive hit. Yeah. So he became >> and it's a comedy at that you know I think Zack Galifanakis like he's definitely a nobody. Yes. You know like this is a big risk for him to >> Yeah. No, I see it. Going against Will Frell and Danny McBride. Exactly.
Powerhouses.
>> So, they didn't think that would be a problem, but because again, no name comedy, like nobody's gonna watch that.
>> Yeah.
>> Massive hit. I mean, completely destroyed Land of the Lost. And also, Up came out the same weekend as well.
>> So, now you have runchy comedy >> versus family.
>> Two distinct genres, and then you have Land of the Lost in the Middle. And if somebody had to pick a movie, they're going to pick the one they want, not the one that's half both. Mhm.
>> So, it's just a perfect storm to make that thing get erased from the box office to where like nobody cared about the movie. I mean, >> Will Frell, top of his game, doesn't even make back the budget. That's insane.
>> That is crazy. It's It's so funny that you did decide to do this. So, Danny McBride has his book that he's got out right now. So, >> the short story 10 short stories he wrote.
>> Yeah. So, >> I ordered from Amazon coming in tomorrow.
>> Nice. So, he's like kind of on his big tour right now doing all his interviews, promoting his book. And I did not realize this, but it is hilarious to think about, but he did an interview and he admitted like he passed on the hangover.
>> Yeah. [laughter] >> He passed on the hangover and did Land of the Lost, which why would he not, you know, why would he not go toe-to-toe with Will Frell in the prime? You know, like we just said, >> makes so much sense that he chose to do this. But he was like, "That was one of the more humbling careers of my move."
Because you think about it, he read the script. He probably was like, "Kind of sucks." No. Yeah. Like he probably told his team that. They were like, "Yeah, but like it's you and Will Frell. Like y'all will make it funny. Like maybe it doesn't, you know, but like once you get in there and y'all start saying your lines and you'll have a chemistry about y'all, it'll probably kill." He's like, >> "Okay, interesting." But this hangover script is actually, it's funny. Like it's good. They're like Bradley Cooper, he's a pretty boy, you know, he can't he's not funny. Zach Galanakis, who the [ __ ] is that?
>> It's also at a time when the IP type movies that we see so many times today, like redoing an old show, redoing an old movie, you know, that kind of stuff, emoji movie, that kind of [ __ ] that was before that time. [laughter] >> That kind of [ __ ] >> It was before that time. And so Land of the Lost was a very popular >> intellectual property. And so Will Ferrell attaching to it already has like an audience built in. So like people in theory should be excited to go watch this movie of Land of the Lost. That's a comedy with Wolf Frell. But so Danny McBride, you know, logically made the smart choice and then just the movie industry is very volatile. So you don't really know what's going to connect, what's going to hit. That's what's risky about that industry.
>> Yeah.
>> You never really know.
>> I I definitely think it's more of just the back and forth that like they could not figure out if this was going to be runchy or family.
>> Yeah. which you guess you have to make that distinction >> like >> mom I feel like moms with kids kill movies when it comes to this territory.
>> What do you mean?
>> If a mom takes her kid to the theater and in the first 5 minutes or 10 minutes she sees Danny McBride talking about like it's my favorite kind of woman, you know, titties with no head, no talking.
You can even hold her with a handle.
She's gonna go like blast on Facebook like, "Do not take your kids to see this movie. It's misogynist." There's gonna be groups of mothers talking about like, "Do not take your kids to see it. It's so incredibly inappropriate. Nothing like the show we grew up with.
>> Don't do it." And dads are like, "Fuck yeah, that Hangover movie looked awesome." Anyways, I'm going to go sneak and see that.
>> The one of the guys that played So, all the characters are named after the actual characters that start in the show. Dr. Rick, Marshall, Will, Holly, it's all the same except they're playing different versions. Like they're just the names are the same. They're kind of in the same roles, but like the characters like kids like I think Holly's a kid. I don't really know the exact relationship between between them all. But um at towards the end of the show, the actual show, Rick Marshall's brother was on there for like a last like one season or two seasons or something like that and he was invited to be on a be as a cameo in the movie and he declined it and he said and quote, "I have this problem with dinosaur urine jokes." That's why he didn't [laughter] get in the movie because he has a problem with dinosaur urine jokes.
[laughter] Like what? That's a hard line. That's That's what made you not want to be in this movie?
>> Cross the line. Dinosaur urine is not something to joke about.
>> That's what made you not want to join the powerhouse of Will Frell and Danny McBride and potentially restart your career?
>> Like that was the That was the crew joke that went over the line.
>> Yeah, that was the one. Yeah.
Hollywood. I don't know.
>> Makes it just literally what a bunch of oddballs. That's so like cuz I'm just trying to think, you know, 2007 Danny McBride. Look, I don't know the guy, but I would just kind of assume that he was probably partying his ass off.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, maybe just I mean, party rocking.
>> I'm just thinking about like a set with him, >> you know? I'm just thinking like the character that he displays like in This is the end like cocaine and hookers.
>> Mhm. But this guy probably hopped on set and saw them do the piss scene and he was like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. I can't be a part of this."
>> Yeah, this is too far.
>> Whoa. This is horrible. Danny, get this woman off of me. I can't do this.
>> Yeah, >> this is horrible.
That's so That's hilar.
>> I think the original cast members as well, I think they shot a cameo with them, but it ended up getting cut out of the movie. So, I mean, they just took this they took this old show that was a fan favorite and just [ __ ] [ __ ] all over it.
>> So, like it was actually that popular of a show. I've never heard of Land of Lost.
>> It's like a cult classic show.
>> Like when 80s?
>> No.
>> '7s.
>> Well, let's see. 74.
>> 1974 Land of the Lost.
>> It lasted three seasons.
The sle god chaka [laughter] chaka's in it. Lizard men Will and Holly are captured.
They uh name they name a T-Rex Grumpy.
So, all the little things of the show are in this movie. I think that was another thing that they were uh banking on landing that is funny, but you kind of force it to be funny is Will Frell having beef with a dinosaur.
>> Yeah.
>> Like having beef with the T-Rex.
>> Like that's the kind of kid humor.
>> Yeah.
>> Like the brain walnut and then they drop a giant walnut. It's a walnut. That's a kid joke.
>> Yeah.
>> And then you have runchy jokes. Another kid joke is uh like the show tune seeming like singing and performing like Chaka singing like that's kind of a more of like a familyfriendly kind of joke there. The kids might crack up at.
>> So they literally are just like cannot pick what this movie is about or what this movie's vibe is going to be.
>> Well, and then I think just at the beginning of the movie when uh Rick Marshall's machine like starts playing music >> and uh what what's the lady's name in Land of the Lost in this movie? Oie.
Yeah, Paul's like, "Oh, that's gay."
Like caught me off guard. I was like, "Oh, okay." Like, "That's not kid-friendly."
>> Yeah. [laughter] Also hilarious that George Takone plays Chucka.
>> That dude, >> I didn't know that until honestly like looked at the cast before this episode.
I'm like, "Holy [ __ ] I didn't know that." Cuz you just, you know, when you have a movie that you grew up on, you don't >> kind of feel like you already know it.
So, you're not like looking into it anymore. I was like, "Holy [ __ ] Jordan."
>> And he I mean, he's awesome.
>> Yeah. He So, what movie does he have out that you went and saw at Southby?
>> It's called Over Your Dead Body >> and y'all liked it.
>> It was really good.
>> You and the crew went and saw it.
>> It's like not talked about by anybody, but you can rent it, I think, right now.
And it's for like six bucks and it's so good >> cuz it doesn't have any doesn't have any like big big hitters. G Jason Seagull's in it, but he it's about a husband and wife who go on this >> little ex like couples retreat together, not just but themselves at like their parents like old cabin like his, you know, there's like a lakehouse that they always go to in the summertime. So like they go to it to kind of re try to rekindle their marriage, but each of them both have a plan to kill each other while they're there. And so you watch that unfold as like are trying to kill each other and crazier things happen.
And it's just like a wild story, but it's so good. And nobody's talking about it.
>> Nobody's talking about it.
>> I get it, dude. Sometimes like I I remember at South by, you know, I was I was working it, but I got to sneak away and go watch some movies. And I watched one movie uh with John Goodman, and it's called Chili Finger. And it's actually it's based on a true story and it's pretty much like uh this chilly this this lady is a lawyer ex lawyer but now she's a mom and her daughter is like leaving the house so she's like bored so she's like just looking for [ __ ] to do and she pretty much finesses a way to sue this fast food restaurant because she found a finger in like a chili bowl.
>> And so she like sues the company for everything and then like kind of blackmails them and this sort of thing >> and it's done really well. And as I was watching I was like this is so good. I'm like so into this movie. The lines are delivered perfectly. Like the comedic timing is really good >> and you know it was kind of like a dark comedy with the blackmail and everything. Sure. you know, there's there's like some kind of wo moments with like some characters dying >> and it's like what?
>> But then at the end of it I was like nobody's going to watch it.
>> Yeah.
>> Which sucks cuz it's it's so good. But you know that just it's it's so hard >> I think because there's so many movies like just always coming out >> and most movies suck and so people >> it's hard to find like a real gem. We're in a spot in the like movie industry where people don't trust new movies.
Like it's going to be ass.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm not even going to waste my time trying to watch it unless somebody tells me it's good. I'll go watch it.
>> Yeah.
>> Like you know obsession is that rare breed that just spread like crazy.
>> Truly. I can't even I really I think of obsession and I do think the last time that I remember people were like holy [ __ ] we got to go flood the theaters for like a horror movie that also like kind of is funny meaning anybody can watch it >> you know cuz if it's just like straight hor like I think of Hereditary >> there's no funny moments in Hereditary I mean you're just constantly like god this is draining like and I'm just scared the whole That's how I feel about Midsomar. Like phenomenal movie, I guess, but I hate that movie.
>> Like I will never watch it, never recommend it. I'm like, and when I brings up Midsome, Midsummer, Midsomar, >> Midsomar, I think >> Midsummer, whatever. I'm like, don't watch it.
>> Yeah.
>> Don't do it. Don't torture yourself with that, >> right?
>> It's like literally just so disturbing.
>> Yeah. But then a movie like Get Out comes comes out and obviously there's just the interest of a dude that did YouTube sketches.
>> Yeah.
>> And then he comes out with a horror movie and it's good and the premise is really good and the execution is done really well, >> but like there is some relief in it. You know, he's uh the the guy that's going through it has his old his roommate back home. It's like don't go to that house.
What the [ __ ] Get the [ __ ] out of there. You know, that whole thing. And then he, you know, not going to spoil it and maybe there's people that haven't seen Get Out, but it's nice and you can go watch. I remember Get Out like everybody flooded the theaters.
>> Yeah.
>> Cuz you know that just doesn't happen that often.
>> But Get Out was came out around the time where theaters were still relevant.
>> I don't think I don't think they've ever actually been as irrelevant as you might think that they are. I think >> I just mean from like the average American like the box office has been failing like the Hollywood's like losing money every year >> cuz like people aren't ticket sales are huge and so people aren't like people are waiting for it to get on streaming services.
>> Yeah.
>> Like they're going to wait for that to get it so they can watch at home.
>> I guess so. I don't know. It's just cuz I've always gone to the theater and like I always feel like I still see a decent amount of people going to the theater but as far as the numbers go >> I don't think I've ever looked. But then I think of like Alamo Draft House.
>> I think he's coming back a little bit.
>> I do too. I do too. I think because there's like a certain type of pressure, people are like, "Dude, go to the [ __ ] theater." Like you don't you don't want to lose the theater because you didn't like go check any out, you know? You like you have to do your part.
It's almost like a like a volunteer work at this point. Well, also the movie theater back in the day, like I was growing up, at least like middle school, high school, like the Marvel movies were coming out and those are like so cool as a kid. And so like you had to watch every movie to follow the story. They all had like a big arc they were leading to with like little teasers for the next one. So like you're excited for all the movies cuz like kind of your first time seeing Captain America, then you get to see or you see Iron Man, then Captain America and like all these other superheroes. So you like constantly want to go to the theater like, "Oh, this one's coming out. Let's go. This weekend we got to go see it opening night."
>> I I feel like they still make good war movies. Yeah, >> I I went and saw I've seen a decent amount of war movies like with my dad because he would not go see superheroes movies with me. He's always hated them.
>> But like if there was a war movie >> like come on, let's go. Let's go check this out.
>> Like it's always for me there's always been enough to go to the movie theater.
>> Mhm.
>> And there's always one where I'm like, "Come on, we got to go check this out.
We got to [clears throat] go see Yeah.
You know what it's about. But Land of the Lost makes sense that it just got kind of swallowed because here's the thing. Up, such a good movie.
>> Great movie.
>> Such a good movie. We're talking about The Hangover, but Up is so good. Like undeniably good. Who's actually [clears throat] going to say that Up is a bad movie, >> right?
>> Who which one of you are going to do it?
>> Sorry. I'm always I'm always ready. The hate comments are coming back. I don't know if you've noticed.
>> I've not noticed. Oh, I've noticed they've been Dude, they've been I mean, they've been coming for me.
>> You're back on the list.
>> Seriously, like they are they like it's like maybe I dropped off their algorithm >> now. You're back >> and now I'm back and they're like this is still going.
>> He's still going. He still has a mic. I love it.
>> Kind of missed them.
>> Yeah, Land of the Lost. I mean, they were taking shots from literally everybody. So, box office, like we said, was dog [ __ ] [laughter] But even the American Medical Association, like they condemned the movie because of the use of drugs in it, like the drink.
>> What?
>> I know. Like even they hated this movie so much. They're like, "We condemn this movie."
>> But they didn't condemn the hangover.
>> Yeah.
>> Zach Gallanakis rofies his friends >> and then they don't remember what happened. But think about how absurd this [laughter] is. The American Medical Association condemns a PG-13 dinosaur movie for its use of drugs.
Isn't that just absurd?
>> Like they were taking shots from literally everybody. It won a It won a Rzzy award. You know what that is?
>> Uh it's like horrible.
>> Yeah. Like the worst movies.
>> Yeah. The worst movie. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Which that list is really funny. The Razies. I think I've uh was it Amy Polar has a podcast. I think she talked to somebody about the Razzie and that's how I >> got introduced to it.
>> Probably Dakota Johnson. She won the Razzie for the worst picture for Madame Web. [laughter] >> I forgot that movie came out which makes sense.
>> This Land of the Lost won the Rzzy for worst remake, ripoff or sequel.
>> Pretty good. But >> look at some of these. These are hilarious. Like they're special categories. You have uh worst reckless disregard for human life and public property. Conair in Rambo Last [laughter] Blood.
>> Uh worst excuse for an actual movie, The Cat in the Hat.
>> Okay. Yeah. I also like most flaunt teen targeted movie. Jackass the movie. Like you're clearly just going after that's good.
>> Worst excuse for family entertainment.
RV.
>> Which one was RV?
>> That's what Robin Williams. It's kind of like uh It's kind of like Vacation.
>> This movie didn't do good.
>> I I mean, I thought it was funny as a kid.
Of course, it takes you to the Let Me See the Pictures.
You watch this movie?
>> No.
>> It's kind of a rip It's kind of a ripoff of uh Vacation.
>> Really?
Like there's a joke with the whole, you know, getting the [ __ ] out of the RV goes everywhere.
>> Gotcha.
>> Classic joke, you know.
>> Okay, I'm already seeing what's happening here. Yeah, just by just by the poster.
>> Worst eye gouging misuse of 3D. The Last Air Bender.
>> Amen. If that's the Yeah. 2010, dude.
>> Bro, that was Isn't that crazy though?
Did you see The Last Air Bender when you were a kid? The movie?
>> Yes.
>> And you knew it sucked, >> bro? I love the cartoon. We all love the cartoon. You watch that in the theater, you're like, "What the fuck?"
>> I know, but like that's insane because think about think about RV. What you just said, you're like, I liked it as a kid, >> but it probably sucks.
>> Probably sucks. As a kid, you see The Last Airbender live action and you hate it.
>> I mean, you made the you made the worst movie ever. If you didn't even have kid if you had kids criticizing the CGI, >> they're like, "Oh, this just looks bad."
Like, damn. cuz uh one of my cousins he we're he was little he's like seven or eight we're asking him like what's your favorite movie or he maybe he even g me he gave us a podcast recommendation he's like oh y'all should watch the Meg too it's so good >> like the the megalodon movie Jason >> Jason Stathithm and Rain Wilson the it's the sequel to the Meg >> did you just say Rain Wilson >> he's in it >> what is like a main character >> oh yeah >> they put Rain Am I Dwight >> Dwight >> Dwight Shroo >> is fighting the Meg with Jason Stathithm.
>> Yep.
>> Get the [ __ ] out of here. I did not know that.
>> Look at I mean, look, jet ski megalodon right behind him.
>> No, no, don't get me wrong. I've seen the Meg uh like When I go to the gym, that's one of the main movies that they have like kind of replaying, you know, amidst Adam Sandler films.
>> Okay. He is in the first Meg, not the second one.
>> He got eaten.
>> He got eaten.
>> He must have.
>> Yeah, he had gotten eaten. Um, >> but it's just like, you know, so this movie is dog [ __ ] obviously.
>> And so a kid watching it like this movie is so good. Like you have to do a podcast on it. It's so good. Like he literally told me that.
>> That's hilarious.
>> It was Jace.
>> And so, >> you know, if you go to a movie theater as a child, like you're saying, and you hate a movie, that's a feat.
>> Well, dude, it's one of those things where like I remember um I was actually thinking about this on the way over here randomly. I have never I still haven't seen Tokyo Drift Fast.
>> I actually have not either. Someone told me when I first started watching them to skip it. Okay.
>> So, I just listen to them and never watch.
>> Okay. So, I that must have been what happened to me. I don't know why that was the case.
>> You're like it doesn't even connect to the fourth one. Don't even watch the third one.
>> I think for Yeah. I think for me as a kid I was so obsessed with honestly Vin Diesel and like Paul Walker. I just thought those dudes were badass. Like all the guys >> for like to a 10 to 12 year old boy. I was like, "These guys are [ __ ] men."
>> And like that I only I only want to watch like badasses. So like if they're not in the Tokyo Drift movie, I'm out.
>> I'm not going to watch it.
>> Right.
>> But now I got to watch it. But um so I'm thinking about Jay saying like, "Dude, you got to watch me." Like because for him, he's like, "Jason Staithm is beating a giant shark. It's [ __ ] It's awesome, dude. Do you not >> how could it be bad?"
>> Yeah. How how how could it possibly be not good?
>> Right.
>> This is the coolest concept of [laughter] all time.
He's riding a jet ski fighting a megalodon.
>> I'm sorry. Are you not looking at the poster? Do you see what is happen? Giant shark and Jason Staithm.
>> You do realize that the shark is massive. It's not just a big shark.
[laughter] >> We're not talking jaws. All right, you [ __ ] >> You know that this shark eats whales, right?
[laughter and gasps] >> Oh, again like I wonder I I don't know. I'm just thinking like at what age you had to be to like make sure that Land of the Lost hit, but I guess you had to be like 10 or 11.
>> Yeah, you got to be like a middle schooler.
>> I also think that because I'm cuz I'm really imagining that what happened is you were with Jacob and then maybe a couple cousins and it was like late at night and it was a sleepover.
>> Yes.
>> Had to be funny.
>> Yep.
>> You know, everything is perfect right now.
>> Yes. You're probably just in like that good old kid giggly state.
>> Yep.
>> We're just like, "Y'all been laughing at the stupidest shit." Which, by the way, kids laugh at the dumbest [ __ ] >> We just got done wrestling. Now we're ready for bed to watch a movie.
>> Yeah. And like, but y'all just laughing at something so stupid and then you put on this movie and you see I don't know.
I I'm literally just thinking of like all the stupid things that happened in this movie and y'all are probably like, "What?" But it's so funny.
>> So good. They just for the last thing on the Razies. I love this. Worst actor of the 1980s, Sylvester Stallone. Worst actor of the century, Sylvester Stallone.
Taking shots, Sylvester Stallone.
>> Kind of happy to see that. I also Can we go back up? Whoa. Worst actor of the decade. Interesting. I There was one I saw about Baywatch, the 2017 one.
>> Yes.
>> Which is >> the Rzzy nominee. So rotten you loved it, >> bro. Was that a bad movie? Am I tripping?
>> It's one of those like bad movies that's funny.
>> It's Zack Efron.
>> The Rock. The Rock and the girl from True Detectives. I will always see her.
>> I think Wait, I see her from uh Percy Jackson, right? That girl.
>> Oh, you innocent boy.
>> What's her name? Alexandra Dario.
>> Dario. I no I always think of her as Woody Harelson's uh mistress in True Detective season one.
>> I gotta rewatch that [ __ ] dude.
>> Yeah, >> I don't remember like the details, so it'd be a nice watch.
>> Like I know how it goes and I know the memorable moments, but >> anyways. Yeah, like she's, you know, she's good-looking in that in that show and obviously she's good looking in this movie, but she's the whole point as hot as possible, >> right? She's actually like she's really funny, too. I can't believe this movie did bad. I saw this in college and I thought it was funny.
>> No, I think it did good. I think it's like I think my dad loved this movie.
>> Got a 5.5 out of 10.
>> I mean, yeah. Story sucks probably, but it's like funny and it's corny on purpose and that's why you like it.
>> I didn't think it was like bad. I thought I mean I don't know. Zack Efron.
Okay, you know what? Now that I am thinking about it, like Dwayne the Rock Johnson plays like the best lifeguard and then he tackles major crime wave that hits his beach.
>> Yes.
>> Okay. That is kind of stupid.
>> It's dumb, but it's >> And Zack F1 is a ex Olympic swimmer, I believe.
>> Name's Matt Brody.
>> Matt Brody. Surfer. That's funny.
>> That's funny.
>> So, it's the girl's name is Summer Quinn.
>> Yeah.
>> So, I mean, obviously, >> David Hassoff is the mentor.
>> Mitch Buchanan.
>> I can't believe that was bad cuz Well, I guess I didn't see what the other nominees were. I think I saw that Fifty Shades of Gray was in there. Thought people love that [ __ ] Thought the women the women crave.
>> I didn't Yeah, I didn't watch 50 Shades of of Gray.
>> The emoji movie.
>> 50 Shades Darker.
>> The Mummy in Transformers the last night.
>> Okay, you know, whatever. Maybe Baywatch was that bad.
Um, we keep getting distracted on this one.
Land of the Lost.
>> Yeah, this one. Okay.
I have taken so many lines from this movie then and like absorbed it into my vocabulary of the things that I say. You might even recognize some of them. A few of them are I don't maybe you don't know this one but I all the time >> with bl of lost.
>> Yeah.
>> Look, I'm telling you, dude. I dialed in. So, hit me.
>> I say this with Jacob a lot, my brother.
>> Here comes Will. Like when he's like they're traveling through the river.
It's like Ernie, aren't they?
>> Aren't they?
Aren't they?
>> Are are you asking us?
>> No. No.
>> Ernie, AREN'T THEY?
>> HERE COMES WILL.
>> OKAY, HERE it goes, Will. That's funny to me.
>> All right.
>> You're paying for that.
>> Okay.
>> I say that one a good bit.
>> OH GOD. WOO. OH, the lift.
>> You're paying for that.
>> You're paying for that.
>> Yeah.
>> That's just hilarious to me. Same scene.
>> Oh, yeah. I was about to say Danny McBride.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. My favorite scene in this movie is the dinosaur pee when he's like putting it on his face. I >> That is such a good scene. Okay. Like that is a funny scene.
>> What I love whenever he repores it.
>> Yes. Yes. When he reppor it on his face immediately made it worse. [laughter] That is so >> That is strong.
Maybe a second splash reduced some of the effects.
Immediately made it worse. Or when he takes a slug out of the pee and he's like, "Oh, don't do that.
>> Don't do that." Yeah.
>> Make sure to ingest some. Get that in the bloodstream.
[sighs and gasps] Don't do that.
Everything cuz okay, a joke in the movies that he's constantly he's always wrong.
>> He thinks he is the most intellectual doctor, PhD guy ahead of the curve on science, but he's always wrong in [laughter] everything he does. So, like in that scene, every single thing he does, he takes back.
>> Yeah.
>> He like puts a dinosaur pee on. He's like, "Oo, got to hurt the eyes. Get the bloodstream. Nope. Nope. Don't do that."
>> Second splash will reduce the efforts.
Media made worse. [ __ ] And then especially like when he's running around with the dinosaurs. And then a big one I say honestly all the time. That blows.
That blows.
Oh, that blows.
That blows.
Oh, whenever the pterodactyl takes the machine.
>> The tachon amplifier.
>> Yep. Yep. Okay. Those are those are good. Uh you're t you're talking about lines right now. I think it's so funny that really one line in this movie just tied I mean it it made everything okay for me. Made everything >> cuz I dialed in and I accepted my fate that all right, it's a bad movie. All right. They didn't they didn't know what they were really doing. Whatever. I'm just going to enjoy Will Ferrell and Tanny McBride. Just go back and forth.
That'll be okay. And then, you know, Chaka, he kind of started to grow on me, too. At first, I was like, dude, Chaka sucks.
>> Yeah.
>> Um, but then they finally get back and I can't even do it justice. I We can't even do it justice. But they get back and the guy that Dam McBride like runs the the shop with, you know, who he tell Yeah. Ernie, he's like, he tells Ernie like at the beginning, you know, he's like, "Close your mouth. You're making everybody uncomfortable. Don't do that."
All right. So, then at the end, they come back without Danny McBride, and Ernie's just there. He's like, "Where's Will?"
And Rick Marshall says he he stayed behind.
>> He says he's in a better place now.
>> He's in a better place.
>> He's in a better place now.
>> He's in a better place now.
You killed him. [laughter] And me even just attempting to do the line.
>> Not as funny.
>> I don't know how you I don't There's a magic in the way that he said it.
>> I'll cut it in cuz you you got to hear it. He went to a better place.
>> You killed him.
>> There's There's no I don't even like that moment. I think it just caught me so offguard even because I kind of knew that they were going to make the joke >> as soon as he said like he's in a better place.
>> But the way they the way that it went just topped was in your head, >> right?
>> Like it's a dumb corny joke. You see exactly where the punch line is going cuz he says >> I don't think I expected Ernie to just be so direct like you killed him. Like >> it wasn't like he was qu not like he was mad about it.
>> He's just like full of like it's almost like he's full of wonder.
>> Oh you you killed him. You killed him.
>> I We can't We can't even get it right.
No, >> but I'm tell We literally He said it me I >> obviously I had no idea it was coming and I just started busting out laughing.
You did too cuz you knew it was coming and then you I think are just happy that >> Yeah.
>> Like I am finding it funny and I immediately said like replay that like what why did that just catch me so off guard but it did >> and I I can't even explain. I'm telling you, in a couple months or so, re-watch it. Like, re-watch it like at least twice this year.
>> Oh, Kate, I I doubt I ever watch this movie again.
>> Come on. [laughter] >> I'm going to bite to it for a sleepover and we're going to watch Land of the Lost again.
>> Dude, I I >> I'm telling you, bro, it gets way funnier. It's so The more you watch it, the funnier it gets, >> bro. I'm I'm 27 watching this. Okay, you were 11 and >> I'm 25 right now watching this show and I still love I know, but I'm just thinking like, you know, you watched it with your cousins and your little brother and then like you maybe watched it like a year later with your brother.
Like, dude, remember how funny this was?
Like, remember how stupid and funny it was? Like, let's see if it holds up.
Then you watch it again. You're like, y'all were probably crying, laughing, like, damn, this is so funny. And then from that moment on, it is funny to you.
>> Honestly, you this will change you. If you watch this movie with Jacob, you know how Jacob's a giggly boy.
>> He's Yeah, he'll giggle.
>> You watch it with Jacob, he laughs the entire time. He never stops laughing.
>> I think that's hilarious that the that the Harvey boys [laughter] just find Land of the Lost to be comedic genius.
>> I think that's so funny that this is the one that gets y'all.
>> Nothing tops this.
>> I love it.
It's funny how like just some of those random movies out there just connect with you for some reason.
>> I I think it's important for um people to have like that shitty movie that resonates with like them and like a family member.
>> Mhm.
>> You know, and right now I'm kind of freaking out because I can't really think like me and my brother and my sister, we love Hot Rod.
>> Yeah.
>> Like I've been quoting it my entire life, >> you know? It's just one of those. But like that's like universally funny.
>> Our movie is not comedy, but our movie together that we both enjoy that's dumb is Rain of Fire.
>> Rain of Fire. Yeah.
>> Like that's our like guilt like shitty movie, but we just rock with it. Been a while. Honestly, we need to run that back. But like I'm thinking like me and my brother and my sister. Like what is our stupid ass? Nope. Major Pain. But Major Pain I think did well. I think people enjoy Major Pain.
>> That's a dumb one though.
>> Major Pain is so funny.
>> Yeah, I know. I don't think people like >> I don't think I've ever seen it.
>> Damn.
>> I've seen clips.
>> My turn. You showed me Land of Lost.
It'll be my turn in a few weeks. We'll do Major Pain.
>> M. Yeah.
>> Major. I think Okay, I'm going to I'm going to go with that. Major Pain.
>> Yeah. I haven't I don't think I've seen it.
>> Okay.
>> But just the funny clips.
>> Yeah.
>> I don't even remember the funny clips, honestly.
>> He's got a really interesting voice.
>> Yeah.
>> But uh Yeah. Major pain. Is it like a spoof on like Full Metal Jacket?
>> No, I don't think so. I'm trying to >> It's just a spoof on the funny or the overbearing instructor. Drill instructor.
>> Yeah. Yeah. He's Yeah. He's a drill sergeant that is like, you know, the best soldier that the United States has.
And they pretty much make him quit because he's too deadly. So then they send him to be a teacher for children, which is in itself funny.
Um, but just the the voice that he has is iconic.
>> It's one of the Ways brothers. Yeah.
Damon Waynees.
>> Yeah. Major Benson Payne lives lives, breathes, and sleeves war. But after being honorably discharged from the Marines due to a lack of wars, Payne, the naturalborn killer, has absolutely no idea how to cope with everyday civilian life. Fortunately, before he completes completely breaks down, Payne finds his way back into a military capacity at Madison Preparatory School, leading a group of misfit JRTC students who don't want to be led. Whipping these kids into shape might be his toughest battle yet.
>> It's a classic. Damn, I can't believe >> summer.
>> Yeah, I can't believe it's 1995.
You weren't even around when that movie came out.
>> Neither were you, big boy.
>> [laughter] >> No, Major Pay, I I already know our audience is uh going to give me props for that one.
>> Orlando Brown, >> but look at that [ __ ] Look, 6 point.
Okay, wait, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. 29% Rotten Tomatoes.
>> That's critics, though. Let's see what the audience is talking about. 8 68 on So, not super strong. 68% on Major Pain.
Let's see what land of the loss is on Rotten Tomatoes for the audience score.
It's got to be worse than Major Pain.
32. Okay.
>> Okay. There it is.
>> All right. There we go.
>> Maybe nobody watching this episode.
Nobody's ever going to click on [laughter] this episode.
>> We can say whatever the hell we want.
>> Freedom.
>> Um, that makes sense. That makes sense.
I That is so Also, I clicked on uh Anna Freel.
>> Mhm.
>> She has been in nothing that I've ever seen or even come close to seeing. I've never even heard of the things she's been in.
So, I find it interesting that she somehow found her way in between Will Frell and Danny McBride in what they thought was going to be. And look, I know she's in Limitless. I don't know who she's in. Who is she in Limitless?
>> She might be Riley Cooper's ex-wife.
They get some hooked on the on the drugs.
She might just be a little side character. Oh, Melissa. Who's Melissa?
>> I think Melissa is the one that's like his ex-wife that he's married to for a day.
>> Okay.
>> She says, "I don't think this is working." And he meets up with her at a bar and finds out that she's addicted to drugs, which we got to do Limitless, too.
>> That's a good movie.
>> That's one of my go-to like Comfort, like know I'm going to love Limitless.
Um, >> not much popular stuff.
>> Yeah, I know. I was going through it. I was like, who is this girl? Cuz she's a good-looking woman. We were watching this movie. I was like, damn. Like, nice.
>> You got the same vibe. Maybe it's just because of the plot of this movie, but she could be like an Indiana Jones love interest, >> right?
>> I think it's literally only because she's dressed like that in this movie.
>> I see what you mean.
>> She could be Marion.
>> Uh, yeah. I'm thinking like >> the the your your version of Indiana Jones writers of the Lost Dark where it's Robert F. Kennedy was everybody and this chick is Marion [laughter] >> always. I'm I I'm also trying to think with Land of the Lost.
I didn't know how to put this the right way because it's actually not the right way to put it. But I was thinking like I don't know how I feel about Will Frell playing the main character that's getting people out of the predicament.
But that can't be true cuz he's played other characters like that, right?
Hasn't he?
>> In a sense he does. Like Talga Knights, he's the hero.
>> Tala Knights is the first one I thought of. But >> I mean >> that's also with Adam McKay. I feel like Adam Mccay just knows how to make that land. Or like if >> Adam McKay was set to direct this, but he ended up just executive producing it instead. Wonder what we would have gotten if Adam McKay was on this bad boy. A couple rewrites, a little bit of improv. I There's definitely some improv in this movie. There's me and Greg both believe that in the scene when they're eating the crab, they had to have just been rolling and they just like let him roll. Let him just talk. Improv.
>> That was funny. That was good just because of the improv rule. There's a good >> Danny McBride just, you know, and he's also got Will Frell who Will Frell kind of made his comedic presence known for being the guy that will do anything. He has no shame, you know. I'm thinking um in on SNL. He would play so many different roles for like pretty much like lack of clothing in front of the entire country >> and his body is pretty funny.
>> Yeah. You know, he he had no shame. So Danny McBride finally has him in like a Will in a in an improv moment where they're on drugs. He's like, "You two should French kiss >> just looks at him." Will's like, >> "Yeah, I [ __ ] it. I'll do it for free."
You know, like I think that whole thing is just improv.
>> Mhm.
>> Uh Adam Mccay didn't direct this movie because he didn't want that to be a stain on his career.
>> I don't know. He would have rewrote it.
He writes all the scripts that he makes most of the time.
>> Yeah. So, I'm sure he got this and was like, "Oh, no." They they had no idea what they're doing.
>> But if he was attached, he would have been like, "Okay, but I have to rewrite the script. We got to change some things."
>> He was attached. Didn't you just say he was executive producer?
>> Yeah, but I'm saying if he's attached as the director, he would have been like, "If he's going to be the director, he's like, "I got some rewrites."
>> Yeah, but I bet they tried to make him the director because why the [ __ ] would they not? If it's Will Frell and Adam McKay at the top of their game, >> they've got this.
>> And Adam McKay, they were like, "Yeah, this is what we're thinking." He probably looked at you. He was like, "Good luck, Will. Go make a paycheck.
I'm not touching this. I'll be executive producer, which means nothing."
>> He uh And they also wanted Robert Rodriguez. He met with Will Frell to direct this. That would have really ruined this movie.
>> You think that would have ruined it?
>> Oh my gosh. Yes.
>> Not a Robert Rodriguez guy, huh?
>> No, no, no. I think it's fine. But Robert style within this movie. It would have been too like think about Spy Kids and then Willf Far trying to be funny with then like a It would have been too trying to be cool. I think >> I think I haven't seen Spy Kids in so long. So maybe I don't know what you mean. And really I do agree with you.
>> Rob style in this movie would have really tanked.
>> I would not enjoy this movie probably.
>> Yeah. I think I >> think about Dust till Dawn like he would have done something crazy like got creative and like no no no this is good and then >> Will Farrell's like what >> I'm talking >> I think I'm honestly now I'm just curious to like I just want to imagine Will Frell in like a Robert Rodriguez what >> he's just confused the whole time he's like >> you know it's a PG-13 movie but you know hopefully you get one [ __ ] out of Will Frell you know I feel like if you had gotten a Robert Rodriguez version Will just it would have just been Will confused the entire time like what is happening?
>> Yeah, >> this is not what I signed up for. And that's that's what you would have gotten with Robert. But we got this piece of [ __ ] instead. But it works. It works.
>> Piece of [ __ ] >> That's okay, dude. All right.
>> It's dressed pretty.
>> It's dressed pretty. I like that. That's a good way of putting it. It is. Got Will and Danny, >> their only movie, a complete flop, potentially ruined their career of ever working together again. People like, "No, no, no. When y'all two get together, that [ __ ] blows."
>> Well, it's not entirely true. You know, he was he was a main character in Eastbound and Down. So, they still, you know, they shared the screen, just not a movie.
>> Yeah. Not a movie.
>> And Will Farrell Danny McBride in Eastbound Down is hilarious.
>> It's the best. Well, that's cuz Danny, he was running the show. Well, actually on the on the Will Ferrell episodes, it's Adam McKay directing those episodes.
>> Nice. Okay. Nice. That makes sense.
That's funny that Adam McKay like pops in. Yeah. Like I noticed he did that with uh >> uh the Showtime Lakers show that came out on HBO.
>> Winning Time with Yeah. Winning Time.
Yeah. With with John C. Riley, which slept on show, but like Adam McKay would just randomly direct episodes, >> which was the breaking point of Will Frell and Adam McKay's relationship.
>> Sadly. Sadly. I can't believe it wasn't Land of the Lost.
>> Yeah.
>> Can't believe Adam McKay was like, "You sell out."
>> No, they still had they had some gold to mine still.
>> They had some fire.
>> Also, let's not forget Danny McBride like kind of fell in with the Seth Rogan crowd.
>> You're right. Yeah, it's different avenue comedy.
>> Totally different.
>> Will Ferrell Avenue, Seth Rogan Avenue.
>> Yeah. You've got and you've got >> Yeah.
>> Um Yeah. So like Danny kind of like went in that direction and then ultimately went and did his own thing.
>> Mhm.
>> So yeah, there's enough there's enough uh there's enough food at the table for everybody to go eat.
>> Yep.
>> Everybody can go do their own thing. But I'm hoping that Will Frell is on the comeback of his career.
>> We'll see with that new movie. He's starring with Jimmy Tetro, who I've literally been I I think I've talked about it on this podcast before. Jimmy Tetro should be a movie star. He is so funny.
Doesn't matter if you put him in a bad movie, he's still funny.
So, I'm I'm hoping that this is good.
But I'm I'm going in with low expectations, I will admit.
>> Yeah. See, like I don't know because Will Ferrell like I just don't know like why it's different. It just feels different. Like you look at these interviews like this isn't like incredibly funny but you just see how Will Frell is >> play.
>> Wait. Yeah.
>> And your shirt sounds good.
>> Cool.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I like your shirt too.
>> Nerd.
[music] Even then, I'm already getting like the Will Ferrell sound.
He's really good at playing like the [music] victim loser.
>> I don't know why this.
>> Welcome to Movie Phones Unscripted. I'm Will Frell. Yes, the Will Frell. I'm here with Anna Freel.
>> Hello.
>> And Danny McBride. And we're here to talk about our movie Land of the Lost.
Uh we are going to ask uh some of your questions as well as some of our own.
No, we're going to ask each other some of your questions as well as some of our own.
>> Yeah.
>> Does that sound >> that seems like that's how it was explained.
>> And uh I think I'll start with the first question. This is from Shannon in Toledo, Ohio. Uh Shannon, I hope you're doing great. I hope you're recovering from your hip surgery. Anna, what was the most surprising thing that you learned about Will during the filming?
That's what Shannon wants to know.
>> I I learned that he's a really fantastic kisser.
>> You wouldn't have expected it from him, but he is. He's a good kisser, and he's got really twinkly blue eyes, and he's more uh he was more gentle than I thought he might perhaps be.
>> I could have told you that.
>> You could tell that. [laughter] >> There you go.
>> Thank you. Wow.
>> So, if you want a good kiss, you get on the phone and give me a call. Y >> there you go.
>> Or I'll fly into Toledo, Ohio. Yeah.
>> Either way.
>> All right. So, you got that vibe. You can already see it. And then what's the new movie called? Stick or no? No.
That's the That's the >> I could not tell you the name of the new movie. Just look up Will Ferrell golf movie. The premise is that he's a retired golfer and he doesn't want to be done. But now his son is like on the rise to the top.
>> Yeah. So, let me see if I can find this.
It's him sitting at a table. It's like he's kind of joking playing character and >> you just don't like it. I just don't feel like it has the same van. I don't know what's going on. I can't put my finger on I love Wolf Farrell. It makes me sad.
Where is this [ __ ] video?
>> Can you explain it to me? Like >> it's not memorable.
[laughter] >> I don't know what to say. It just sucked.
>> Let's see what this is.
>> What channel are you in?
>> NBC Sports.
>> Oh no. Sorry.
>> Oh, come on. Well, I was going to say >> that's funny.
>> That's funny.
>> That's funny.
>> Hey, come on. All right.
>> He's got the magic still.
>> That's good. That was good.
That was good.
>> You win at both. I I do want to Is there What?
>> Oh, wait. July 16th.
>> Yes.
>> July 16th.
>> YES. [cheering] >> It's next week, dude.
>> Netflix.
>> The Hawk.
>> The Hawk. Yeah.
>> Lonnie the Hawk Hawkins.
>> Why do you enjoy doing sports comedies so much? What is it about?
>> Uh I love sports.
>> Obviously I grew up you know one of one of the best things.
>> Okay.
>> Any damn I don't know if I can find this but >> I like the tenac. I mean you are not going to give up.
I just want to make my point clear. So not I'm just hating on Will Frell. I love you Will. I truly love you.
>> Well, not that Will Frell brings his golf alter ego. That one actually. Yeah.
>> Frell is here sitting not too far away from me.
>> I mean it is just, you know, the architecture, the people, the food. It's glorious.
>> Hawk has been making the rounds. This is going to be this guy's video. Okay, this is getting cut.
>> Quiet.
>> Quiet on the set, please.
>> Quiet.
[music] >> Lonnie, the hawk Hawkins. Is the hawk at the top of the food chain of all these other animals?
>> I would have to say so. I mean, you know, the hawk >> shark. Well, but here's the thing. A hawk could swoop down over the water and claw a shark's eyes out.
>> Think about that. Yeah.
>> And then fly away. Now, would it kill the shark? No. But it'd be a blind shark, [laughter] >> which that could be the difference. You know that old phrase, nothing like a blind shark in the middle of the ocean.
>> Sure.
>> You don't want to be a blind shark in the middle of the ocean. Classic phrase.
>> He still got it. There's still >> You compare that to the lion rant.
>> There's still some There's still some magic in there.
>> We'll see if he can bring it out. I'm I'm hoping. I'm rooting for it to be brought out.
>> Hoping.
>> I'm just worried. That's all. I'm just worried.
>> Do you want to write Land of the Lost?
>> Let's do it. All right, Greg. What do you have for Land of the Lost?
>> Surprisingly, pretty high score.
>> Nice.
>> But, uh, acting just starting up there, eight out of 10.
>> There you go.
>> You know, I mean, you've got >> you've got this star-studded cast that no matter what whatever in God's name, the the the crew was throwing their way. Yeah.
>> What the what the producers were throwing their way, >> uh, they still came to play. They showed out and they did the best they could with uh the [ __ ] that that they had to go through to finally finish this movie.
With that being said, writing two out of 10. Um I mean just god awful. I don't you know what's happening. There's no bad. It's so bad. That's okay. That's okay. You know, take pride in the fact like I love the fact that the writers just came out, >> yeah, we kind of failed.
>> Yeah. So, [laughter] like nobody's going to be like, "What the, you know, [ __ ] this guy." Like, >> it's okay. It is what it is. It seriously, it's all good. It's all good.
>> Editing six out of 10. I really, you know, one of those I just don't even know.
>> So, I'm just kind of throwing that one out there.
>> You're just kind of picking a number, rolling with it.
>> I think cinematography is five out of 10.
>> Just regular.
>> Yeah. You know, not good, not bad, just whatever. Uh, enjoyability is six out of 10.
>> What?
>> Yeah, it could have been lower, but you know, I was thinking of you and I didn't want to make it below a five. So, with that being said, my total score is a 5.4 out of 10. And you know what? It feels good. It's been a while since I've given a movie this low of a rating. I kind of forgot how much I enjoy it.
>> So, slightly above mid.
>> Correct. Slightly above mid. I have acting seven out of 10. Very just solid funny acting. Nothing insane. Sure. It's not Oscar.
>> I think I gave it a higher one because of the [ __ ] movie.
>> But you're you knew what you were about to do >> on the rest of the ratings.
>> No, no, no. I I'm serious. I gave them a good acting rate because like that they did go through a [ __ ] storm and they still because of them it's funny.
>> Yes. If you put anybody else in this in this plot >> and say good luck make this movie. It's not funny. So >> writing four out of 10. Story line terrible.
>> Editing 7 out of 10 solid.
Cinematography 7 out of 10. Solid. And enjoyability a smooth 10 out of 10.
>> Wow. I enjoy the hell out of this movie.
for a total score of seven out of 10, which I believe reflects perfectly this movie, including my love for it. It's a seven out of 10 movie.
>> Okay, >> I would say within our ratings that are very high normally. That's why we're trying to get rid of this rating system because we're really bad at it.
[laughter] >> We give a score, it could be good or bad.
>> I think it's interesting that right now you're saying like, you know, it's fair.
I think it is what it's supposed to be, you know, just given what it is and like it the audience gave it like 30%.
>> Yeah. So really my 5.4 is me just already like what? No, nobody else sees it as above mid.
Everybody else >> humor makes it above mid, >> right? But ultimately the audience says, "No, this is just a dog [ __ ] movie all around."
>> Yeah. Audience hate this movie.
>> So 5.4 out of 10. They can't all be home runs. They can't all be grand slams. You know, sometimes you strike out at the plate and that's the name of the game.
But yesterday's home run does not count for today's ball game. So Will Frell and Jimmy Tetro got a movie coming out on Netflix. Come on, Will.
>> Come on.
>> Let's go.
>> Will it like in baseball, Will Frell is not bad. He's not in a slump. He's overdue. He's overdue to hit one out of the park.
>> Yep.
>> And I'll leave it at that.
>> All right. Thank All right. Thank you guys for listening.
Comment below your thoughts on Land of the Lost. Let us know if you absolutely hate this movie or let me know if you're on my side and you just are fond of looking back at the scenes in this movie and how ridiculous they are and Will Ferrell in his glory with Danny McBride to be there to support him on this comedic endeavor. As always, we will see you all next week. Don't forget to go to showc.tv to subscribe for $19.
Who the Who the [ __ ] made it to the end of this?
>> Not a damn soul. Except for my father.
Shout out.
>> What's up, Scott?
>> Shout out, [music] Pops.
>> What's up, Scott?
>> We will see y'all next week. We are out.
[music] [music] I've been working like a dog trying to find my next meal. It seems [music] all I do is drive. And when the bossman [singing] sends my next check in the mail, I'll have enough for closing time.
I've been cursing like a sailor since I ran out of weed. My tank is running
