EP. 341 — Ronal the Barbarian LIVE!
Paul, Jason, and a delighted June dive balls deep into the 2011 raunchy Danish animated comedy Ronal the Barbarian—a film that asks, “What if you took a kids movie, but made the villains Lord of the Rings style leather daddies?” LIVE from Brooklyn, they discuss the boob slap scene, the villain’s hairy butt crack, how this is actually a movie for women, and so much more. Plus, Paul asks the weighty question, “Are men’s boobs boobs?” and we’re introduced to John Dillermand—a Danish cartoon about a man with a long, sentient penis.

Transcript
Paul Scheer [00:00:00] It’s How To Train Your Dragon, but replace dragons with balls. No, literally there are balls in this movie. We saw Ronal the Barbarian, so you know what that means.
Music [00:00:17] [Intro Song]
Paul Scheer [00:01:08] What’s up, people of Earth! And what’s up, people of Brooklyn! We are live at Bam. To talk about the first animated movie ever on How Did This Get Made. Ronal the Barbarian is about a weakling barbarian descendant from a long line of the strongest barbarians who goes on a quest to beat a bad guy? I don’t know. This movie is R. It’s weird. It’s really just a simple kids movie, but with a lot of shits and fucks. And like I mentioned, balls. It’s like what a 12 year old might do in his bedroom to, like, fan dub a movie. Like, fuck you, you asshole. Eat shit, cock sucker. It feels like the curses are just snuck in there willy nilly. And I loved it. And to break down this movie tonight, I have two of the best. Two of the best animation experts. Two of the best barbarian experts. Please welcome to the stage, Mr. Jason Mantzoukas.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:02:32] What’s up, Jerks?! How are we doing, Brooklyn? That’s right. Bam! Why did you make me watch this movie? It was a beautiful day in New York. I sat in a hotel room and I watch this piece of shit for you.
Paul Scheer [00:02:51] Jason.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:02:51] Paul.
Paul Scheer [00:02:53] I felt like this movie was going to be right up your alley.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:02:58] Why? What? I take offense to that. I feel like that’s the meanest thing you’ve ever said to me. I just see you watch it and be like, oh, Jason’s going to love this.
Paul Scheer [00:03:15] I think people thought you might have picked it.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:03:19] I don’t pick anything. I’m just. I’m subjected to these just as much as you are.
Paul Scheer [00:03:25] Sure.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:03:29] I did not like this. I didn’t like I, you know. Is it really the first animated movie?
Paul Scheer [00:03:34] Yes, the first animated movie.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:03:36] I was like, okay, cool. Animation movie. Great. I love animation movies. Put it on and within. I’m going to say one minute. One of my very first notes is, what the fuck is this?
Paul Scheer [00:03:48] It does jump out at you, but I’ll tell you, I know you watch this in your hotel room. Our next co-host. Well, we watched it together while eating brunch.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:04:01] In a restaurant?
Paul Scheer [00:04:02] In a restaurant. On separate iPads.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:04:08] Oh, those that wait staff has a lot to say to each other.
Paul Scheer [00:04:13] And we both were laughing pretty loud. And I got to tell you, I think she might have enjoyed it more than all of us. Please welcome my other co-host, June Diane Raphael! Welcome, June.
June Diane Raphael [00:04:39] Hello, Paul. How are you?
Paul Scheer [00:04:40] I’m well. How are you?
June Diane Raphael [00:04:42] Okay, I am I’m going to say it right here. I’m going to say it loud and I’m going to say it clearly. I enjoyed this film.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:04:55] No! Holy shit.
June Diane Raphael [00:04:58] I enjoyed it.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:04:59] Is it possible we have Freaky Friday’d this tour? I liked last night’s horny romance movie and thought for sure you would.
June Diane Raphael [00:05:08] I hated it.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:09] And Paul thought for sure that I would like the animation. And you loved it.
June Diane Raphael [00:05:13] And I was with you, Paul. I was like, as I was walking here, I was like, Jason’s going to be so happy. Jason’s gonna have loved it.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:21] Who do you think I am? I’m going to talk in therapy about this.
June Diane Raphael [00:05:27] Listen, it flew by.
Paul Scheer [00:05:30] Well, it’s an hour, 28 minutes.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:32] Thank God that’s the best.
June Diane Raphael [00:05:34] You’re telling me. You’re telling me you didn’t have some real laughs during this movie?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:40] No.
June Diane Raphael [00:05:43] Paul did, I did.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:45] I’m sure I did, but I not. I was really, like, shocked at how absolutely dogshit this was.
June Diane Raphael [00:05:52] Honestly, Jason loosen up.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:54] That being said, you’re right.
June Diane Raphael [00:05:56] Chill out.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:57] I was in the hotel in bed, suffering from jerk off elbow. So.
Paul Scheer [00:06:04] The tagline for this movie, is Babes, Balls and Muscles in 3-D for the whole family.
June Diane Raphael [00:06:15] Oh, wait, there’s a 3-D version of this?
Paul Scheer [00:06:18] 3D animation.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:19] Were you guys watching with 3D glasses at brunch?
June Diane Raphael [00:06:23] Wait, what is 3D animation?
Paul Scheer [00:06:25] 3D animation is this style of animation. Like like 2D animation is more like, beauty and the beast. And then 3D animation is like Toy Story like that. You’re a little bit more dimensional. Now here’s what I’ll say. This movie came out in 2011, and if you go to find it on your Amazon or anything like that, a streaming service, it is put next to children’s films.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:48] One of my main questions was, who is this for? Because it presents like it’s a How to Train Your Dragon.
Paul Scheer [00:06:57] Yes.
June Diane Raphael [00:06:57] Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:57] A Croods, a something like that. And boy oh boy, is it not. It is from the jump. Close ups of balls and crotches and titties.
Paul Scheer [00:07:10] The first joke is, I mean, the opening is kind of a very traditional. Right? You’re seeing this, this opening of, like, this big battle, cool characters, and then someone.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:07:19] Cool characters?
Paul Scheer [00:07:21] I thought they were kind of cool looking, right?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:07:22] Yeah. You’re a big Cron head. You love Cron. You won’t stop talking about Cron.
Paul Scheer [00:07:29] I mean, come on. When Cron’s fighting, I’m like, cool.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:07:33] When Cron bleeds for seven days and seven nights and everybody drinks is blood. So cool. Everybody. Kids, right? This is for you, right?
Paul Scheer [00:07:43] But here’s what I would say. That open. You have a little kid drinking and he’s like gets muscles. And then that little weak, like barbarian drinks just a drop. And either his dick or balls grow big. I don’t know which one.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:07:58] That’s when I read that is literally when I wrote, what the fuck is this movie?
Paul Scheer [00:08:02] Right?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:04] I rewound. I rewound to be like, is that what happened?
June Diane Raphael [00:08:07] Well, I think one of the reasons why I, I enjoyed it and I’m not too proud to say that I enjoyed it. Maybe the movie is for me, maybe I’m the intended target.
Paul Scheer [00:08:18] We have finally broken June.
June Diane Raphael [00:08:20] This movie is for me.
Paul Scheer [00:08:22] It’s taken 13 years.
June Diane Raphael [00:08:23] Also, Paul, you had, there was a lot of setup going into this movie. There’s a lot of talk about it’s an animated movie, June, like get ready. And I was.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:33] You had to be prepped?
June Diane Raphael [00:08:34] I did I was like, Paul, I got to work out this morning because I’m going to have to let some energy out before I sit down and watch this. I mean, I was prepped for such a nightmare. And again, because we had done Jonathan Livingston Seagull here in New York.
Audience [00:08:51] [Booing]
Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:52] You’re welcome. You’re welcome.
Paul Scheer [00:08:55] They loved it.
June Diane Raphael [00:08:56] And I was like, I guess we’re giving another gift to the city we love. And I’m going to have to suffer through this. So I and you would also said it’s a sex comedy. You said those words a number of times.
Paul Scheer [00:09:07] Well, I do think.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:09:09] A number of times?
June Diane Raphael [00:09:10] He kept on saying, we’re going to watch an animated sex comedy.
Paul Scheer [00:09:14] I said it once. Once, maybe twice.
June Diane Raphael [00:09:17] And I was like, oh, okay, I don’t know what that could mean. I don’t know what this was going to be. So then when it went down so smoothly.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:09:26] This movie should be in the restricted section with the pornos at the at the rental store, if that exists.
June Diane Raphael [00:09:34] Here’s what I want to say about the comedy and why I believe this movie sense of humor is elevated.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:09:42] What is happening?
Paul Scheer [00:09:42] Wow.
June Diane Raphael [00:09:43] There’s the comedy and this is what you might have missed, Jason, if you weren’t watching closely. There’s the comedy.
Paul Scheer [00:09:49] This is my favorite episode of the show, so far.
June Diane Raphael [00:09:52] There’s a comedy.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:09:53] You are tearing Team Fred apart.
June Diane Raphael [00:09:54] Sorry, there’s the comedy in the foreground, the scenes, and there’s some built in comedic beats to those scenes, some funny lines. But what you may have missed, and I suspect you did, is the background comedy in this movie.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:10:11] The BGC?
June Diane Raphael [00:10:12] Yeah, the background pieces, the the ADR, the things that are on the the throwaways on the side, the stuff they added in months after the animation had ended. That’s where the real jokes were. And that’s where it was like genuinely very funny.
Paul Scheer [00:10:31] Well, what I found about this movie is it’s kind of like all the perverted jokes that you hear. It’s like, oh, did you see, like in The Little Mermaid the castle actually looks like a dick, you know? Or like in the sun, there’s like an image of tits in Lion King.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:10:45] Also, please stop sending me those.
Paul Scheer [00:10:48] But did you see them?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:10:51] I’m aware of them now. You don’t need to keep sending me those images.
Paul Scheer [00:10:52] But sometimes they’re HiRes.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:10:54] Joe Camel’s nose has a dick in it. Joe Camel is still a thing.
June Diane Raphael [00:11:00] I’m gonna say, Jason.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:01] No, no, Joe Camel heads?
June Diane Raphael [00:11:02] And Jason saw this right before the show started. I said, I want to go back and watch the opening scene again.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:10] When I tell you. And never in my life have I witnessed June rewatch part of a movie willingly in the green room, interrupting a delightful conversation we were having about New York City. She was like, excuse me, I just need to rewatch the beginning.
Paul Scheer [00:11:29] I saw that before I went out here, and it unnerved me. And I’ll say this.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:37] And she’s there like.
June Diane Raphael [00:11:38] And not only that. Sorry, Paul, but Jason said, oh, I’m so sorry you haven’t finished it? And I go, oh no, I, I’m just, I just want to watch the first scene again.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:47] Oh yeah. Because it’s not uncommon. It’s not uncommon for us to need to finish the movie when we’re in the green room or something in the last ten minutes or something. But for you to have finished it and want to bring all your gear. That means you brought your iPad to the–wow, forget it.
June Diane Raphael [00:12:06] I did. And not only that, but what I just wanted to say is, on second viewing of that opening, the first ten minutes.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:12:13] Is this a second opinion?
June Diane Raphael [00:12:14] The second viewing of the first ten minutes of the film, I, I have noticed one of our, one of our villains had like, red marks on his ass, and I didn’t know why. And then when I rewatched it just about 20 minutes ago, I saw that to get the horse going, he had been sitting here and whipping his own ass.
Paul Scheer [00:12:37] And if you forgot that scene.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:12:39] You missed that the first time?
June Diane Raphael [00:12:40] I missed that. I missed that in the first viewing.
Paul Scheer [00:12:42] By the way, I did, I did too and I’m going to say that’s even longer than the first ten minutes if you watch that deep in, because check out scene four just so if everyone can get on the same page as June. Here we go.
Movie Audio [00:13:02] All sons of Cron are gathered Lord Volcazar.
Movie Audio [00:13:05] Then the time is come.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:13:06] Crotch.
Paul Scheer [00:13:12] Pretty cool characters. Now I will say, what I noticed in watching that again is that that character is kind of an S&M character. I didn’t get that.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:13:21] (Saracastic) Oh, is it? Oh, Ellie. Oh. Oh, I didn’t get it.
Paul Scheer [00:13:25] I didn’t notice.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:13:26] Now, I love the movie.
Paul Scheer [00:13:27] Until seeing it on the big screen, I didn’t notice. That is.
June Diane Raphael [00:13:32] This is a movie that needs to be watched on the big screen.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:13:34] This is, yeah. We should. I advocate we stop doing the podcast and just watch the movie here. And I am shocked that no one’s here dressed as characters from this movie. This movie is like, what if a kid’s movie, but the villains are Lord of the Rings style leather daddies and and that’s what we’re doing. Later it’s ball gags, and I was like, what? Even the book, the the where the book is on the roof of the Elvish thing is somebody like.
June Diane Raphael [00:14:06] I loved it.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:08] The lectern?
Paul Scheer [00:14:11] I thought that was clever.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:13] What?
June Diane Raphael [00:14:14] I did to Paul, I did too.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:16] Show your sons this movie.
Paul Scheer [00:14:18] That’s what I’m afraid of, but I will. I will argue this that, you know, maybe June is on to something because according to the Nordic Film and TV website, this film, opened very high. And not only did it open high, it is in the top five.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:37] Hang on. Where?
Paul Scheer [00:14:38] The Nordic film and TV website.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:40] Where is that?
June Diane Raphael [00:14:42] In the Nordic area.
Paul Scheer [00:14:45] You know, we often.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:46] Top film where?
Paul Scheer [00:14:47] In with youths 11+ in Denmark.
June Diane Raphael [00:14:51] Denmark.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:52] This is a Danish movie isn’t it?
Paul Scheer [00:14:54] Yes, yes, yes.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:56] It’s a goddamn Danish movie. I said when we started this podcast, I will, I said, I will never do.
Paul Scheer [00:15:07] You just got Daned.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:15:09] If Dane DeHaan is here, I’m going to be furious.
Paul Scheer [00:15:16] Danes love this movie, and it was a movie that was already supposed to be for English and Danish audiences. And and what I found weird, though, was, yes, we’re in this Conan the Barbarian world, but the English dub and I watched both. No, I didn’t, they really lean into the New Yorker version of this world, like, hey, yeah, what do you want over there? Like, I was like.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:15:42] I thought you meant the magazine, The New Yorker, which I also would have loved. They have a monocle.
Paul Scheer [00:15:49] But there was like, this energy where it was like their stereotypical American voices. There wasn’t, like, an energy to be like. We are all these kind of characters. It was like, no, no, we’re just going to do like, hey, you piece of shit. You know, it’s like.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:16:01] I and I will now say, I did Google it, looked it up and saw that all of the cast were Danish actors, including my boy, Grand Admiral Thrawn himself, Lars Mikkelsen. Yes, it’s a voice, I guess, in that he’s not in the version we saw, though, is he?
Paul Scheer [00:16:20] No, the one that we saw did have Brigitte Nielsen. She’s the head of the Amazon.
June Diane Raphael [00:16:25] She was amazing.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:16:27] I will say Amazon section was phenomenal. It’s fantastic. I have no problem with that section. If they want to spin that off.
Paul Scheer [00:16:34] I, no. Here’s the thing. Honestly, like this.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:16:38] Amazons jumping rope.
Paul Scheer [00:16:40] But I will get into it because I’m I’m like if we’re going to go there, let’s fucking go there. Like this movie feels like it is like we’re an adult movie, but they don’t show.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:16:53] That’s what I’m saying. The movie is, thinks it’s so close to being Heavy metal: The movie.
Paul Scheer [00:16:59] Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:16:59] And it is not Heavy Metal: The movie. It feels more to me like How to Train Your Dragon, unfortunately.
Paul Scheer [00:17:06] With balls.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:17:07] So much balls. Balls have their own set piece.
June Diane Raphael [00:17:11] And it works.
Paul Scheer [00:17:12] By the way.
June Diane Raphael [00:17:14] It works.
Paul Scheer [00:17:15] That set piece. That set piece.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:17:18] This is the most insane June take in history.
June Diane Raphael [00:17:21] You’re telling me that that scene of those balls going up the stair case.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:17:26] Jumping around too much. It’s funny.
June Diane Raphael [00:17:27] That’s funny. That’s what I call comedy.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:17:29] And then they get shot with tiny arrows.
Paul Scheer [00:17:31] I love those balls. I had trouble.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:17:34] What? Pull that quote. Pull that quote put it in a song.
Paul Scheer [00:17:38] Keep it in. But I couldn’t figure out the physics of where the body was. I was following the balls, but I was like, how would where would the body be to get the balls?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:17:49] Frankly, the body hit the floor.
Paul Scheer [00:17:52] But that sequence of of the balls being out like little bouncy things on a karaoke, you know.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:18:02] Follow the bouncing balls?
Paul Scheer [00:18:03] Yes. I thought it was such a crazy sequence. But it made me uncomfortable. Especially when the codpiece stared and we saw some fleshy balls. I was like, no no no.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:18:13] Well, okay. So that was my question. Is, why was he still? Why was his? Why were his balls still covered by a leather satchel?
June Diane Raphael [00:18:24] So I think.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:18:28] Because musn’t he hath to get naked to rub the invisibility stuff.
June Diane Raphael [00:18:29] No you don’t. You just have to. You just have to rub it on yourself, I think. And then things get invisible, so.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:18:36] Okay.
June Diane Raphael [00:18:36] Yeah, that’s where it ran out.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:18:38] I thought he walked around the stone so that he could take all of his. Not all of his clothes.
Paul Scheer [00:18:43] Him walking behind the stone appeared for no reason, because it seemed like they just needed to get him off screen so we wouldn’t see him not rubbing his balls, I guess. I don’t know.
June Diane Raphael [00:18:54] I feel like what you were after Paul was you wanted to see more like animated full sex scenes. And I think what must have happened, and maybe that’s twhat both of you wanted.
Paul Scheer [00:19:06] I’m cool. Yeah sure. I’m an adult.
June Diane Raphael [00:19:06] But that must. What must have happened was they must have for that rating had some sort of like negotiation of like, well, we can show balls, we can show real balls at one point in flesh, but we can’t have these others, like we can’t have the scene actually with the Amazon women.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:24] My question would be because this has got to be rated R.
June Diane Raphael [00:19:28] It is.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:28] Just for language alone. So why couldn’t you have like nudity? I’m not saying like show penetrative sex, although please show penetrative sex. We’re in a world in which everybody was like, I don’t want sex in my movies, no more sex scenes. And I’m like, show penetrative sex in animated movies now.
June Diane Raphael [00:19:50] Such a tough platform to run on. And yet you are.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:53] I am. I need your votes.
Paul Scheer [00:19:55] His name is Woody for a reason.
June Diane Raphael [00:19:57] You’re running for speaker of the House.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:59] I’m running for speaker of the House.
June Diane Raphael [00:20:03] Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:20:03] That’s right. My only platform. We need. Congress needs to get back to work. And we need full penetration in our animated movies.
Paul Scheer [00:20:13] Full funding, a full penetration. Animated. Pixar.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:20:17] That’s it. That’s it. Bring it. Happen. Oh, boy.
Paul Scheer [00:20:21] There is. But to me, I felt like I don’t need to see sex. But maybe some boobs too. Maybe some dicks.
June Diane Raphael [00:20:28] Okay.
Paul Scheer [00:20:31] Why are we. Why are we seeing boobs? That don’t even make them sexual. But, like, it’s just like.
June Diane Raphael [00:20:36] I feel like I saw a lot of boobs.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:20:37] I didn’t see any. And I wanted to.
Paul Scheer [00:20:40] Covered.
June Diane Raphael [00:20:42] They were barely covered.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:20:44] They were barely covered, but covered. Still. Gross.
Paul Scheer [00:20:46] When they go to that Amazon tribe. And he was used as a mating device.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:20:51] Show us that, you cowards! Show us that, you Danish cowards.
Paul Scheer [00:20:57] I did feel bad for him because he’s clutching at his dick and balls for that whole scene.
June Diane Raphael [00:21:01] I know. What could have happened?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:21:04] The best night of his life.
June Diane Raphael [00:21:10] Well, okay, so I. This was the only problem I had with the movie. And I mean, only is I never knew if Ronal?
Paul Scheer [00:21:18] Ronal.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:21:19] Ronal. Scronal.
June Diane Raphael [00:21:23] Was like 14 or 42. I was like at first when we first saw him, I thought, this is it. This is a 12 year old or a 16 year old. And then as the movie progressively had some close up shots of him. And I did think the way that this movie deals with body hair and animates it, I found it to be so almost too realistic, you know?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:21:51] The scene that we just saw in with the ass whipping on the horse, he has a hairy buttcrack.
June Diane Raphael [00:21:58] That’s what I’m saying.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:22:01] Somebody in Denmark animated a hairy butt crack. Cell by cell.
[00:22:06] This is what I’m saying. They took all the freaks that put all that crazy shit in Disney movies. Like, come over here and let your freak flag fly. Like there were a team of animators for months working on little balls, a ball sack, just running around.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:22:23] What are you working on? Oh, I’m working on the the ball set piece.
Paul Scheer [00:22:27] To the Nutcracker Suite.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:22:29] By the way, incredible..
Paul Scheer [00:22:30] Talk about layers of jokes. There it is.
June Diane Raphael [00:22:33] Yeah, that’s exactly right. Like you have to be awake for this movie. Have to be awake and watching. You miss it. It’ll fly by you.
Paul Scheer [00:22:41] I did like they’re talking about some of the background stuff. I did write this down. I didn’t laugh at, like when they saw a scene of, like, warriors being attacked. There was an arm coming out of somebody’s asshole.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:22:54] What?
Paul Scheer [00:22:54] Well, no. A sword put in somebody’s ass and then an arm, like, shoved into someone’s mouth. So that’s the background you got to watch. And that’s some solid jokes.
June Diane Raphael [00:23:05] It’s in the. It’s in the background. Let go of the foreground, you know, as a concept and really train your eyes to see the background.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:12] Maybe we need to rewatch this in a future episode. But just the backgrounds.
June Diane Raphael [00:23:17] Anyway. But but what I was going to say about body hair is that is that Ronal.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:21] Careful.
June Diane Raphael [00:23:22] Ronal and the close up shots like he does have, a lot of facial hair.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:31] Well, in fact, in the Amazons, they pluck one out of his face and they’re like, this woman has hair on her face.
June Diane Raphael [00:23:37] That was a funny sequence that they.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:39] Again, 10/10 for the Amazons.
June Diane Raphael [00:23:41] When Ronald said, I don’t know if it was Ronald or oh, Alberta, when one of them said.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:49] You know the other names?
June Diane Raphael [00:23:51] The Bard. I don’t know what his name was. The other guy. Alberta?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:55] Is it Alberto?
Paul Scheer [00:23:56] It’s Alibert.
June Diane Raphael [00:23:58] Alibert. When Albert says.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:24:03] Can I just say for a brief moment, it is absolutely, categorically insane that you remember side character names from one of our movies.
June Diane Raphael [00:24:13] Stayed with me. He stayed with me.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:24:16] I love, I love every minute of this.
June Diane Raphael [00:24:18] But when he said, “Wait, we’re women?” I laughed so hard, I. I mean that fully. Like soup to nuts. That’s a great sequence. The Amazon sequence, a great sequence.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:24:34] Soup to nuts.
Paul Scheer [00:24:35] Soup to nuts? Well, let let’s let’s see. Let’s actually see that Amazon scene. Scene 9.
Movie Audio [00:24:45] Are those real?
Movie Audio [00:24:47] Of course. I just had to see you. For the first time, I laid eyes on you I wanted to rub my naked body all over your manly chest. Forget the silly rules. I just got to have you now sexy boy.
Movie Audio [00:25:01] Just a second.
Movie Audio [00:25:01] I’m about to lose control. Take me! You bring out the woman in me! Spank me hard.
Movie Audio [00:25:19] I find you very sexy, miss Queen. But my friend needs me, and I have to go.
Movie Audio [00:25:22] What?
Movie Audio [00:25:24] Listen, just have you girls capture me again on my way back?
Paul Scheer [00:25:28] I didn’t, I wanted Alibert to get love at the end.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:25:32] I agree.
Paul Scheer [00:25:34] And I felt like they had a connection there.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:25:36] I’m glad he chose to say to go and help his friend. But yeah, I mean, like, he can get at least something going.
June Diane Raphael [00:25:42] I wasn’t worried about him. I wasn’t focused on him.
Paul Scheer [00:25:46] Here’s my issue with this movie.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:25:48] You’re all Ronal. All the time.
June Diane Raphael [00:25:49] All the time, all day long.
Paul Scheer [00:25:51] But there’s a there’s a thing. And I guess, by the way, Brigitte Nielsen only did the Danish version because that’s definitely not her voice.
June Diane Raphael [00:25:58] It does look like her, though. They definitely animated to her.
Paul Scheer [00:26:03] Yes. And it’s odd they didn’t just take her to do it and they have a southern woman being the head of the Amazons. Bizarre choice.
June Diane Raphael [00:26:09] Sorry though, when she takes one boob and slaps him across the face with it. What more? We work so hard. We have such difficult lives. Like that made me laugh. Is that so wrong?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:26:23] No. And I’m sure for some people. For some people, that is how a fetish is born. I want that to happen to me.
Paul Scheer [00:26:35] There is something though, about this movie where I feel like, again, I just want to go back to this idea that I just wanted them to push it a little bit more, because at the end of the movie, it just becomes a straight up Lord of the Rings, like the end of the movie is just like, oh, we’re just watching a battle. Nothing. It’s just like Shut up, you fucking dick. Like that’s on you. Like those are just shot in to be like, no, no, it’s still adult. Don’t worry about it. Like when I feel like that’s the thing that bums me out, that the bookends were just a basic movie with weird ADR in the background. And I really just wanted, you know, maybe defeat him with your dick, defeat him with your balls, like, let’s do that.
June Diane Raphael [00:27:14] Right.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:27:14] Do you think these do you think the they thought they were making a sausage party esque, raunchy blablabla, or were they making a, you know, slightly more risque movie for young people?
Paul Scheer [00:27:29] Well, I will tell you that this is what the director said after decades of Pixar. Now Rango and Wreck-It Ralph. Which are solid movies.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:27:38] Love Rango.
Paul Scheer [00:27:39] Rango is great, which are solid movies. Audiences have matured.
June Diane Raphael [00:27:44] Yes, we have.
Paul Scheer [00:27:46] And people are catching up and trying to make films that match American movies in terms of story and character. So that was his idea. He was like, hey, if you saw Wreck-It Ralph, now you want to see Wreck-It Ralph’s balls. Like, let’s grow with the audience, like Taylor Swift. Let’s start them young and then pull them into their 30s and 40s.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:08] I’d rather see Fix-it Felix’s balls. I’d rather Jack McBrayer be like, Y’all this is crazy. Bonk, bonk, bonk, Fix it!
Paul Scheer [00:28:19] By the way, in 2016, a Chinese company did buy the rights to this film because they are going to make it live action remake.
June Diane Raphael [00:28:28] Fantastic.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:30] That will be can we just announced that will be the final episode of the podcast? Whenever it comes around to it. Probably not for a while. That will be the final episode.
Paul Scheer [00:28:39] Oh my God.
June Diane Raphael [00:28:41] You’re going to tell me though, Jason, in the world of like, all of the movies we’ve had to watch.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:45] Oh, yes.
June Diane Raphael [00:28:45] You didn’t enjoy this?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:47] Oh, it was fine. It was fine. It was just it, I’m I’m. I guess I’m butting up against a little bit of it. My sausage party question is kind of what I wanted. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it was just a complete embracing of the insane, gonzo nature of it. Sure. That movie I could have gotten on board for the version of it that is an actual like, that I’m meant to care about the Samwise character coming to the rescue and the fellowship, coming back together and defeating the bad. Like all of the plotting. I was like, no, no, no, no, just give me nonsense set pieces and I’ll enjoy this more. But I think the movie wanted us to care about the dumb quest.
Paul Scheer [00:29:30] The quest.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:29:31] Which in the back, when you were playing the, trailer and we were listening in the back, June said, why couldn’t he just go on a quest?
June Diane Raphael [00:29:39] I did ask that.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:29:41] Which is a valid question.
June Diane Raphael [00:29:41] I did ask like, why was he so against going?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:29:46] Why is he so quest diverse?
Paul Scheer [00:29:47] Yeah, they never really underlined a couple of things that we needed. Like he didn’t want to be a part of it.
June Diane Raphael [00:29:53] But what? I guess that’s my question for the barbarians. You know what?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:30:00] The barbarians that are here tonight?
June Diane Raphael [00:30:01] All of them. Well, they’re all up there. They’re all on that.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:30:04] Oh, yeah. No, they’re the barbarians. They’re all. They’re barbarians are up there. This the mezzanine. These are very respectful people.
June Diane Raphael [00:30:12] But why? I wanted to know what kind of quests had they been on before? What happened?
Paul Scheer [00:30:19] Well, the barbarians are super strong. They defeat everybody who comes to them.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:30:23] But we never see that. And the minute they are challenged, they are so easily crushed. Like, yeah, it is really like, you know what? I think they deserve to go extinct. You know.
Paul Scheer [00:30:37] They’re literally defeated by like Lord Zurg. It does look like somebody who saw Toy Story’s like, that’s our villain. Like, it’s like this is the Lord Zurg. But I will talk about the shield maiden because that’s our love interest and that’s our heart of the story. Shield maiden was interesting to me because she was a fighter, but it seems like if you’re a shield maiden, you wouldn’t have a sword.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:00] You have a shield?
June Diane Raphael [00:31:02] A Shield Maiden.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:02] Now that’s interesting.
Paul Scheer [00:31:05] I wouldn’t go to all the now that happens as a shield maiden. Shield maiden and then be like, but she fights and looks exactly like anybody else in this movie that we’ve seen.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:15] She is dressed just like a barbarian.
Paul Scheer [00:31:17] Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:18] She’s looking for the barbarians.
Paul Scheer [00:31:20] Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:20] And in the very brief flashback, because I was like, oh, maybe we’ll meet more shield maidens or. And everybody seems to know immediately upon seeing her. Oh, you’re a shield maiden.
Paul Scheer [00:31:28] Nothing distinguished her.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:29] I don’t ever understand anything about it. Okay, that’s fine. But yeah, it doesn’t. That just connote that she would be carrying a shield?
Paul Scheer [00:31:38] Simple as that. Just give me a shield. For a character who is called Shield Maiden. Like, it does seem like..
June Diane Raphael [00:31:47] Listen. It’s a movie, you know? Not everything’s going to.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:52] Like I’m gonna remind you of this.
June Diane Raphael [00:31:56] Just let it go.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:58] What was last night’s movie called?
Paul Scheer [00:32:00] Beautiful Disaster.
June Diane Raphael [00:32:02] Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:03] I would so much rather the nonsense and the jokes, the hilarious jokes in that movie than in this movie, because I laughed so much more.
June Diane Raphael [00:32:12] Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:12] We are having. Wow, June. We need to talk.
June Diane Raphael [00:32:13] I don’t know you.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:14] We have to go to couples therapy.
June Diane Raphael [00:32:16] I don’t know you at all.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:17] We have to go to Team Fred therapy.
Paul Scheer [00:32:19] We will show this in couples therapy. We should go in the Showtime show Couples Therapy and show clip five. And then see who found it funny. Because I think that therapist on couples therapy would find it very funny. Here we go.
Movie Audio [00:32:29] You know what? Your tits look a bit heavy. Can I hold em for ya?
Movie Audio [00:32:33] Your mom has the sickest tits around.
Movie Audio [00:32:40] Shut the fuck up, ugly. What do you want?
Movie Audio [00:32:46] We were looking for a guide.
Movie Audio [00:32:49] There’s only one left in the back behind the shitter. Ask for Elric.
Movie Audio [00:32:57] Okay, thanks.
Paul Scheer [00:33:01] Great character, fun character.
June Diane Raphael [00:33:04] Love that woman.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:04] That fairy is stacked.
Paul Scheer [00:33:07] That fairy also is serving Manhattans.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:12] A double Manhattan.
Paul Scheer [00:33:13] Yeah.
June Diane Raphael [00:33:14] Well, she can never find its rightful owner.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:17] Including when the place blows up. She dies trying to deliver a double Manhattan.
June Diane Raphael [00:33:24] The women of this movie, you know. I do think that the movie has more of a feminist bent than maybe both of you are ready to see.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:34] Oh, no, I think you’re right. I think it’s there. I mean, the most the fiercest warriors in their in their party is the female character. Absolutely.
June Diane Raphael [00:33:41] Yeah. And also like, there are these side characters. Her. And I would watch an entire movie about this bar wench. I would love to know how she ended up there.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:53] I’m with you.
June Diane Raphael [00:33:54] And also, like we never I wish.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:57] Paul. Now we’re back. June and I are back. We want a side movie of the fairy waitress who has human sized D tits.
June Diane Raphael [00:34:07] Just her.
Paul Scheer [00:34:08] I’m listening. I’m listening. If I’m going to get any side character, probably be the oracle who needs his asshole wiped.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:14] Are you the nurse? The nurse to just wipe his ass? What?
Paul Scheer [00:34:19] Who comes intermittently when he shits? But anyway. Go ahead. Like he goes. Are you the nurse? As if she shows up occasionally. Like it’s like, oh, like it’s like. Almost like he has a medical alert bracelet, like, time to take a shit, you know. And then the nurse comes in and be careful of the hemorrhoids. What I found disgusting about this movie.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:43] Everything?
Paul Scheer [00:34:45] Well. It goes there with that, like little arrows into balls. You, you know, and I’m like. And then in that moment where he wipes the character’s ass, the next scene, he’s like, sniffing his own finger.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:56] He’s wiping it. He’s he’s washed, wiping his finger so much. I was like, what is this?
Paul Scheer [00:35:04] But then he gags, he gags on smelling the shit finger. And I’m like, oh, that’s more upsetting to me. Yeah, than anything I could possibly ever see.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:35:15] I feel like this movie is about leather daddies, shit play, cock and ball torture like this entire movie is built off of Pornhub categories.
Paul Scheer [00:35:27] Now, would you be surprised? Would you be surprised to know that in the new Saw movie, Saw 10, every one of the characters being held hostage is being forced to watch this. That’s the only trap.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:35:39] I would not be surprised. Are you leaving?
June Diane Raphael [00:35:41] Where are you going?
Paul Scheer [00:35:42] To talk to the audience.
Jason and June [00:35:43] Already?
June Diane Raphael [00:35:48] We just got started.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:35:49] I’m so sorry, Paul. Do you have somewhere to be? Paul’s like I’m trying to second. I’m kind of second at Gothenburg tonight.
June Diane Raphael [00:36:01] Sit down. Relax.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:36:05] I’ve barely touched my notes. These people, most of them, probably a lot of them probably got a sitter. Let’s hear from whoever got a sitter. Yes, parents night out getting sloppy at Bam. Handjobs outside.
Paul Scheer [00:36:22] I will say, for the record, this is the time I normally go out, but, I will sit here because I have a lot more notes myself.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:36:34] There’s so much titty twisting in the movie that I was like.
June Diane Raphael [00:36:38] And and it’s wonderful because there’s so. It’s wonderful. It’s wonderful because. I will say it’s not every day where you see a movie present like men’s nipples.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:36:56] Pierced.
June Diane Raphael [00:36:56] As such. Pierced nipples is such a.
Jason and June [00:36:59] You guys were right, I should not have gone into the crowd. This is great. Continue.
June Diane Raphael [00:37:01] As such an area of like fixation. Like. We really got to spend a lot of time.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:07] Everybody’s gotten full on nipple clamps. That’s harnesses.
June Diane Raphael [00:37:11] And by the way, that’s when, when when you guys said there aren’t enough boobs in this movie, I was like, I feel like I’ve saw many boobs.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:18] You’re right, you’re right.
June Diane Raphael [00:37:19] They were men’s boobs, but there were boobs.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:22] Are men’s boobs boobs?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:29] No. Now we’re. See now, I’m glad you’re not in the audience.
Paul Scheer [00:37:33] I agree.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:34] Because it’s Are men’s boobs boobs?
June Diane Raphael [00:37:36] Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:37] Is the t shirt. Without a doubt.
Paul Scheer [00:37:40] That seems like it borders on the dirty.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:43] But I think it’s “Are men’s boobs boobs? -Paul Scheer”.
June Diane Raphael [00:37:49] It’s very much so. Where does the butt start? Yeah, in that area.
Paul Scheer [00:37:55] Can you call men’s boobs boobs?
June Diane Raphael [00:37:57] Of course.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:58] Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:58] Really?
June Diane Raphael [00:37:59] Yes.
Paul Scheer [00:37:59] Wow. Audience?
June Diane Raphael [00:38:02] Well they’re breasts. Their breasts, their breastplates. Yeah.
Paul Scheer [00:38:06] Or do we call men’s boobs like a chest or something different?
June Diane Raphael [00:38:12] Pecs.
Jason and June [00:38:12] Balcony is with me.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:38:15] What can we get house lights? What is the or somebody? Some some librarian. I’m going to guess. Is there a librarian here? Can you tell me the etymology of boobs? Where did we get boobs from?
June Diane Raphael [00:38:25] Don’t force a librarian to.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:38:27] No, I only want to a librarian.
Paul Scheer [00:38:28] Is there a medical doctor in the. We have to have a medical doctor in the house.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:38:32] Oh, is there a boob doc in the house? No? Cowards.
Paul Scheer [00:38:38] Oh. All right. Here. Oh, there. Back there, I see one. Okay. Hold on, I’m going.
June Diane Raphael [00:38:41] What are you going to ask?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:38:43] Are men’s boobs boobs?
Paul Scheer [00:38:46] All right. Where, where who do we have? Hi. How are you?
Audience Member [00:38:48] Yeah. OBGYN family medicine.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:38:52] Give it up.
Paul Scheer [00:38:53] What’s your name?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:38:55] And to true or false, you’ll be doing pap smears in the in the, lobby after?
Audience Member [00:39:00] All night.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:39:00] Great. All night paps, baby.
Audience Member [00:39:02] That’s right. Best part. So, yeah, men have breast tissue, and, those are moobs. Those are big.
Paul Scheer [00:39:11] That’s a technical term?
Audience Member [00:39:14] No.
Paul Scheer [00:39:16] What? But. Yes. So breast tissue on both?
Audience Member [00:39:19] Yeah. We got to do, like. Like, if you have a mass in a male, you have to still do a mastagram.
Paul Scheer [00:39:23] Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:39:24] And it’s still breast cancer, I assume.
Audience Member [00:39:26] Yes it is.
June Diane Raphael [00:39:26] Thank you.
Paul Scheer [00:39:27] All right. We did it. Thank you.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:39:30] Great work.
June Diane Raphael [00:39:31] Fantastic.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:39:32] Great work. And it always makes me worried when doctors listen to the podcast.
Paul Scheer [00:39:39] We need it. Well, I answered that question. I should have asked her about the butt too.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:39:44] I like the idea of a doctor performing surgery and being like, you know, I’m just going to play something. While I do this as they’re they’re putting the propofol in there, like come back from ten, ten, nine and it’s like, boom, How Did This Get Made.
Paul Scheer [00:39:59] Oh my gosh.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:01] Well, I did have a colonoscopy recently. And the anesthesia is so cool. I know. And the anesthesiologist literally seconds before putting the propofol in my body went, Big fan man.
June Diane Raphael [00:40:13] No. No.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:17] Big fan, man. Big, big fan man. And I was like, cool, bro. Get ready for the inside of my asshole.
June Diane Raphael [00:40:26] That’s crazy.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:29] Wild stuff.
Paul Scheer [00:40:31] Big fan. I can’t believe I have the chance to kill you.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:35] Big fan, man. You’re gonna feel a little cold, and then you’re gonna have the best sleep of your life.
June Diane Raphael [00:40:42] Oh, no. I didn’t know you could be put out for colonoscopy. That’s great news.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:48] You can be. I simultaneously had an endoscopy as well. Not simultaneously, but in the same. So that’s that. You don’t have to be put out for a colonoscopy.
June Diane Raphael [00:40:57] I prefer to be.
Paul Scheer [00:40:59] And you guys didn’t want me to go out into the crowd.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:04] See, we would have missed all of this gold.
June Diane Raphael [00:41:08] Would never have gotten that.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:09] Cut out all of the stuff about my colonoscopy from the podcast. That’s just for you, Brooklyn. Oh, man. That’s right. Brooklyn gets the butt stuff. Brooklyn loves butt stuff.
Paul Scheer [00:41:24] There are some weird turns of phrase in the film. It’s it’s like “mama’s tits can’t save you now.”
Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:33] Could they ever?
June Diane Raphael [00:41:35] Yes. Actually, I and I felt like that was an interesting moment because, again, you guys, you might have missed a lot. You might have really missed a few things, because when we cut into that bar scene, there’s a whole discussion and there’s like a lot of mom jokes. And then that one villain guy who threatens to fight, Xandra at the end. At the end of that. Yeah, I know our name.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:03] Never before.
June Diane Raphael [00:42:04] Yeah, I know her name.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:05] Never before. Never.
Paul Scheer [00:42:07] You don’t remember peoples’ names.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:09] You don’t remember my name sometimes.
Paul Scheer [00:42:13] Wow.
June Diane Raphael [00:42:14] But that guy who comes out, you know, swinging at the end, wanting to fight her and conquer. And we cut into that scene. He’s having a conversation where he’s he’s making some your mom jokes and specifically like, your mom’s tits jokes. But then, strangely, there’s like a little pause and he goes, yeah, but I really do love my mom.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:36] Yes. Yes, I heard that too. And yeah, I will say to your kind of background point, there is a there are a ton of funny side weird jokes.
June Diane Raphael [00:42:50] Gotta be awake for them.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:51] I only got because I had closed captioning on. Because they were a lot of times conversations that we were passing by.
June Diane Raphael [00:42:58] I love the applause for closed captioning.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:59] Every time. Every time I mention turning on closed captioning, big pop from the audience, that’s like. That’s a middle aged audience right there.
Paul Scheer [00:43:13] By the way, last night, last night as we were driving.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:43:18] Not a Gen Z in the house, everybody’s like, colonoscopy, yay! Closed captioning, yay! That’s my story too!
Paul Scheer [00:43:28] Gen Z has brought in closed captioning because of social media. It’s a social. It’s a young thing. Closed captioning is a young thing.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:43:35] Wait a minute. Are there Gen Z people here?
Paul Scheer [00:43:39] Thank you.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:43:39] Get them out of here.
Paul Scheer [00:43:43] I will say this, just talking about Mom and mom jokes on the way home last night from New Haven to here, our son called us and very seriously said, can I talk to you guys in private? We said, yeah. He goes, okay, now, this is not true. Right? Okay. He’s like, yeah, it’s not true.
June Diane Raphael [00:44:00] And he pulled himself away from our nanny who was in the house, his little brother. And I was like, oh, here we go. Whatever could this be?
Paul Scheer [00:44:09] And he goes, okay, but this is not true. And so, okay, all right. He goes. Your mom is so fat. That when she sweats, it’s maple syrup.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:44:32] Did he deliver it just like that?
Paul Scheer [00:44:34] Just like that.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:44:35] Oh my god.
June Diane Raphael [00:44:36] He really wanted to make sure we knew it wasn’t true.
Paul Scheer [00:44:38] He’s like, not. That’s not true. It’s not true. Oh. And then did like four more but in that cadence.
June Diane Raphael [00:44:46] Yeah. Like there was a sadness to it. Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:44:52] Just. I’ve got. I have to get these out. I’m so sorry.
June Diane Raphael [00:44:55] I’ve got to say, all of them.
Paul Scheer [00:44:57] Your mama’s teeth are so yellow that when she smiles at traffic car. Slow down.
June Diane Raphael [00:45:04] And I did say to him, I said, well, my mom’s dead. So this is really hurtful, actually.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:45:11] Please tell me, please tell me he had dead mama jokes because that’s where this is going.
Paul Scheer [00:45:16] It was. But now, how about this joke? I know that you like that mama joke, but what about the jokes? Like you’re as boring as a yeast infection? That felt to me like, boring, not a woman, but boring doesn’t seem like the way you would describe a yeast infection.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:45:35] Ugh, I’m so bored of this yeast infection is boring. How’s your yeast infection? Boring.
June Diane Raphael [00:45:45] Honestly, I’ve never had one. I can’t speak, I don’t know, maybe they are boring. I’ve never had one.
Paul Scheer [00:45:49] That was. My friends are The Who at Madison Square Garden. And Roger Daltrey, was on stage and the audience is like, Yeah. He goes Viagra never needed it. Never will. And then. And then the audience. Something like this.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:07] Huge mistake.
Paul Scheer [00:46:09] And then he had to be like, but it’s okay. All right, now I’m going in the audience.
June Diane Raphael [00:46:21] All right.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:21] What?
June Diane Raphael [00:46:22] Okay. It’s okay.
Paul Scheer [00:46:25] All right. So who has questions you want to have a question. Come here. All right. You come to me. All right. Your name?
Audience Member [00:46:31] James.
June Diane Raphael [00:46:32] James. All right, give me your question about Bruno the Barbarian.
Audience Member [00:46:36] Speaking of penetrative sex, was the implication in the scene in the tavern? The man was going to fuck the goat on the second floor, or the goat was going to fuck him.
Paul Scheer [00:46:47] Great question.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:51] June?
Paul Scheer [00:46:51] Is to the background jokes that.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:54] June is the scholar of this movie. June studying this movie like the Torah.
June Diane Raphael [00:47:03] I actually don’t remember that scene. I. I don’t remember.
Paul Scheer [00:47:11] I remember it and it felt to me like the movie was going for the goat fucking him.
June Diane Raphael [00:47:16] Great.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:47:19] You know what? We need more goats fucking dudes.
Paul Scheer [00:47:22] I am in balcony one.
June Diane Raphael [00:47:25] Be careful, Paul.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:47:27] Where are you? Which, that. Oh, there you are.
Paul Scheer [00:47:29] All right. I have a question here from balcony one. Balcony one. Okay. Yes. What’s your name?
Audience Member [00:47:34] Luna.
Paul Scheer [00:47:34] Luna, what’s your question?
Audience Member [00:47:36] If you were in charge of making a Happy meal for this movie, what would you make the toy?
Paul Scheer [00:47:44] What would you make of the toy?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:47:46] There’s gotta be a couple of toys. There’s got to be a couple of toys. Because I feel like there’s a couple of big items.
June Diane Raphael [00:47:51] Yeah, I definitely think that some sort of, like, strap on balls.
Paul Scheer [00:47:59] I was literally going to say Benoit balls would be a great.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:03] No, I think like a, I was going to say like a pouch for your balls, like a ball pouch or or just straight up nipple rings.
June Diane Raphael [00:48:12] That’s great.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:13] Everybody’s got them. Yeah. It’s not a character in this movie doesn’t have pierced nipples. It’s everybody.
Paul Scheer [00:48:19] I would say a cigaret. So you could act out your little fantasies like that bar wench.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:26] A lute, I guess.
June Diane Raphael [00:48:28] I think she was smoking a joint.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:30] Really? I thought a cigaret thought a cigaret as well. But I wish it was a joint.
Paul Scheer [00:48:34] They definitely smoke out of bongs. Like. Oh, yeah, like Skull bongs.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:38] And they’re like, good stuff, bro. It’s like, what the fuck is this movie? Did anybody watch it in Danish? Are there any Danes in the house?
Paul Scheer [00:48:49] Remember, Jason hates Danes.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:52] No? Fine.
Paul Scheer [00:48:52] All right. Yes. You’re. Who? Yes.
Audience Member [00:48:54] Patrick Murphy. Thank you.
Paul Scheer [00:48:56] Yes. Full names everybody.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:58] Are we doing first and last names?
Audience Member [00:49:01] Full name and profession like you’re in the movie Old.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:05] And address. Guys, don’t dox yourselves.
June Diane Raphael [00:49:07] What’s your security number?
Paul Scheer [00:49:09] Last four digits in your Social security number. And then go ahead and ask your question.
June Diane Raphael [00:49:14] Mother’s maiden name.
Audience Member [00:49:17] Patrick Allen Murphy. I apologize for not remembering his name when Ronal mounts his dying guardian. Did you notice, I wondered if you noticed that he did full face waterfall?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:26] Yes he did. It was awesome. I wrote that down.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:30] Was it awesome, Paul? It was awesome?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:34] What?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:34] It was awesome?
Paul Scheer [00:49:36] Well, we don’t get to see face waterfalls in everything.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:39] Oh, yes. No, we need more. We need to. Actually, the three of us need to commit to putting face waterfalls in as many projects once we’re back to work as possible.
June Diane Raphael [00:49:50] Listen, I don’t know, this is a real Easter egg, but in Burning Love I did face waterfall, Michael Cera and nobody ever picked up on it.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:59] Wow. Oh that’s awesome.
Paul Scheer [00:50:01] Here’s a guy in an outcast shirt from our Jonathan Livingston Seagull episode.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:50:06] Great work.
Paul Scheer [00:50:07] All right, your name, your question.
Audience Member [00:50:09] Jason asked if there were any Danes in the house. My name is Dane.
Paul Scheer [00:50:15] Boom! You did it.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:50:17] Hey, Dane. You know that’s not what I meant.
Audience Member [00:50:19] So my question is, especially for June, what age should this be shown to children? What? What age? When do we start?
June Diane Raphael [00:50:32] Yeah.
Paul Scheer [00:50:32] When do we start showing this to children?
June Diane Raphael [00:50:35] We don’t have not a children’s movie. Let me say that clearly.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:50:39] Dane, do you have children? Okay, so don’t worry. So for you. Never. Yeah. Don’t worry for you. You shouldn’t be showing this to any children.
June Diane Raphael [00:50:52] Totally fine.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:50:53] Dane. Yeah. Balcony one is fucking creeps and weirdos. Who knew? Hey. Hello. When can I start showing this movie to children?
June Diane Raphael [00:51:08] Not ever.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:51:09] Hey, kid, you want to see a movie? It’s got balls in it.
June Diane Raphael [00:51:13] Not ever.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:51:14] Hey, guys, wanna see a movie? I’m Dane.
Paul Scheer [00:51:21] And now I’m in the real balcony. The upper balcony where the real balcony monsters are.
June Diane Raphael [00:51:27] Wow.
Jason and June [00:51:28] And a place that I had to take an elevator to get to it. Did not realize that now someone here has a ball gag in. Am I right in that? There you are.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:51:38] Has a ball gag in their mouth?
Jason and June [00:51:39] Yes, yes. So I’m going to come over to you. Great job. This is a tough costume to pull off. And I’m glad you did it. Hi. How are you?
Audience Member [00:51:51] Hi, Paul. I’m well. How are you?
Paul Scheer [00:51:53] What’s your question?
Audience Member [00:51:55] Okay, so I’m I’m going to give a little bit of context for this. So at the beginning of the film, we see the whole sequence when, everyone drinks the blood of Kron. Right? When the little weakling gets the one drop, the only thing that gets big is his dick and balls, right? I kind of went into this assuming that Ronal is, like, descended from this person, but his uncle doesn’t get the loser gene. So it’s like, does it like, skip a generation? Is it a recessive trait? And if so, why hasn’t this been like eugeniced out of the barbarian race?
Paul Scheer [00:52:42] June. You have met your historical match.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:52:45] Wait. So your question is pro eugenics? You. To be clear, you took the ball gag out of your mouth to do a assert a pro eugenics theory. This is. Wow. Just what I thought balcony one was nuts, upper balcony, absolute fucking heroes. Holy cow!
Paul Scheer [00:53:13] It was great.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:53:15] Shouldn’t Ronal be put to death? Because he’s weak.
Paul Scheer [00:53:22] She does ask a fair question in in the sense that these barbarians. He doesn’t seem to have offspring. Or where did it? You know what happened? I also don’t think that his dick and balls are that impressive.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:53:35] Ronal?
Paul Scheer [00:53:37] Ronal.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:53:38] How do you know?
Paul Scheer [00:53:39] Because he doesn’t use them to do anything.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:53:41] He fucks all the Amazons, Paul.
Paul Scheer [00:53:44] But that’s a side quest.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:53:47] By the way, sign me up for that side quest. He. He’s so anti quest. But he’s like, I’ll quest in this pussy.
Paul Scheer [00:53:56] Your question.
Audience Member [00:53:57] So this is a fairly horny movie.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:54:01] Really?
Audience Member [00:54:03] Why does everyone have flat Hank Hill asses?
Paul Scheer [00:54:07] Great question. Where them juicy asses at?
June Diane Raphael [00:54:12] Honestly, I thought about that too, because there were a lot of.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:54:16] What?
Jason and June [00:54:16] I did. I had that same question because there were, again, there was a lot of like, nipple play in the movie, and there were a lot of emphasis on the male breasts, the male breast tissue and nipples, and not a lot of emphasis on the male buns. And I appreciated that new framing of the male body, like, let’s let go of the asses as an idea and let’s focus elsewhere.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:54:47] Here’s what I’ll say. I felt like those are some flat pancake Danish butts.
June Diane Raphael [00:54:53] Oh, you think so? But then. But then all of the Amazonian women had high and tight and high, high, high asses.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:02] They’re not Danish.
June Diane Raphael [00:55:05] So you’re saying all of the animators just drew themselves?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:09] Correct.
June Diane Raphael [00:55:09] Oh, interesting.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:10] Absolutely. Every single one of them.
Paul Scheer [00:55:14] Would it surprise you to know that, the director and writer of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the Danish version was a script consultant on this film?
June Diane Raphael [00:55:23] No. It wouldn’t.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:25] Wow. Holy shit. What?
Paul Scheer [00:55:30] I’m going to go to our other costume person in the audience. Your name and your question?
Audience Member [00:55:33] My name is Brooks. And my question is, I’m wondering if you guys noticed in the credits there is someone named Troels Christopherson who is listed as.
Paul Scheer [00:55:44] No one would ever know.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:46] Oh, you were wondering if we noticed this?
June Diane Raphael [00:55:49] Were you surprised we haven’t talked about it yet?
Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:52] Yeah. Oh, I’m just so surprised you guys haven’t mentioned.
June Diane Raphael [00:55:55] Just a little surprise.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:56] In the credits, there’s someone named chair Will Christofferson.
June Diane Raphael [00:56:01] I’m a surprise.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:56:02] Research. You might find out. I’m surprised.
Audience Member [00:56:06] His title in the movie is Reindeer Wrangler. And I’m wondering what you thought his role might have been in this film.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:56:15] Wait a minute. That’s a. Oh, okay. Hang on a second. That’s. Whoa. A reindeer wrangler for. That’s the. He plays the voice of the reindeer wrangler?
Paul Scheer [00:56:27] No, it would mean like he’s wrangling reindeer.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:56:31] What? It’s an animated movie.
June Diane Raphael [00:56:32] I know, but maybe there was some sort of like one of those mocaps? Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:56:38] You think there’s reindeer with mocap suits on for the movie?
Paul Scheer [00:56:41] I think the Danish people, the animators get hungry and they want fresh meat. And that’s like craft service to them. So like, it’s sort of like, oh, yeah, I’ll feed the animators while they’re working on this ball sequence.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:56:51] Think the title is misleading. It’s Chef.
June Diane Raphael [00:56:55] Paul. Is it raining outside? You’re soaking wet.
Paul Scheer [00:56:58] I just ran up, like four flights of stairs and ran down four flights. I’m wearing a sweater. It wasn’t a good choice.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:57:05] You look great.
Paul Scheer [00:57:08] It was a lot of stairs. It’s hot up there.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:57:11] You’re getting a workout tonight. This tour. You’re getting a workout.
Paul Scheer [00:57:14] I shouldn’t have done the push ups to open the show. Okay, here we go. Obviously we have opinions about this movie, but there are some people who just agree with June. It’s now time for second opinions.
Audience Member [00:57:33] Isn’t he scrawny? This barbarian? Horny Pixar. Come on Ronal. He quests far, so we go online and give it five stars. Because if there’s something missing in my life, it’s a floating ball sack.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:58:05] Great job.
Jason and June [00:58:06] Amazing job. Our last one. Here we go. You ready for it? I feel good. I feel good about it. So here we go.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:58:14] Yeah, I’ll be honest. This is going to go great. Everybody else has sucked. Only up from here.
Paul Scheer [00:58:27] And now it’s time for second opinions.
Audience Member [00:58:30] I’m Ashley. Five stars. Give it five stars. When I rate this film on Amazon, write it all in caps Lock so you know that I can be wrong. I watched this whole movie with my kids despite all the animated dick. Five stars. Give it five stars. Cause I think it is a good film. It is a great film. It is my favorite film.
June Diane Raphael [00:59:06] Honestly perfect! Thank you, Ashley. New York.
Paul Scheer [00:59:10] Brooklyn, you brought it. You always bring it, you know.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:59:13] Wait, a What’s up, jerk shirt?
Jason and June [00:59:15] Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:59:16] And a what’s up, jerk shirt? Killer. You’re doing great.
Paul Scheer [00:59:18] Everybody did great.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:59:20] Holy cow.
Paul Scheer [00:59:21] So just so you know, normally when we do this.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:59:24] What about a Flintstones adaptation in this style?
Jason and June [00:59:27] I would see that.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:59:27] Horny Flintstones.
Paul Scheer [00:59:29] What was that comic that they made? They made like, the adult.
Jason Mantzoukas [00:59:30] Oh, Mark Russell’s comic is fantastic. So that’s a great comic book. Okay, I will just add, there is an incredible Flintstones comic book by Mark Russell. There’s he also did an incredible Snagglepuss comic book that is fantastic. I urge everybody to read them.
Paul Scheer [00:59:46] Okay. Normally when we do this we’ll see like how popular a film is. So say like a very a smaller film that we do on the show, 400 reviews. You know more popular film couple thousand this film. 20.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:00:07] Are there? Is it just that it is. So is it. Has it been out in English since 2011?
June Diane Raphael [01:00:13] Yeah. I mean, I never heard of this.
Paul Scheer [01:00:15] Yes. It came out in 2011. Most of the reviews I’ll be reading tonight are from 2013.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:00:21] Okay. Any of them going to be in Danish?
Paul Scheer [01:00:24] They are. And a lot of, some of them are in French, some of them are in Danish. They’re translated. So I won’t read you the French or Danish. But, M David wrote this “Ronal the Barbarian is one of the funniest animated movies I’ve ever seen.”
Jason Mantzoukas [01:00:41] June, is this your pen name?
Paul Scheer [01:00:44] “A movie that deserves to be known, but not for children. Pass it on. Five stars.” And that’s from French. That’s that’s a French reviewer. Okay. Reviewed in France. Get ready for this next one. Just want to kind of lay the groundwork with this. Rush and Shill in November of 2013, wrote a review titled Great Movie and here we go, “The Young Mariner Society is a small nautical league of aspiring seafaring boys that I run from my boat here in Iowa.”
Jason Mantzoukas [01:01:22] Hang on a second.
June Diane Raphael [01:01:23] This is a confession.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:01:24] I’m so sorry. True or false? Iowa. Landlocked?
Paul Scheer [01:01:32] “We spend countless nights on my boat just a few yards from the lake.”
Jason Mantzoukas [01:01:38] Is this admissible in court? I’ll turn it over to Lockhart and Gardner to figure out if they can figure it out. That’s right. I’m into season five of The Good Wife.
Paul Scheer [01:01:52] Get ready when I show up. Who am I? Oh, I’m a lawyer. Okay. I love that show. “Eventually, when the repairs are complete, we’ll take the boat out on the water. I know I work those boys hard this summer, but it was the only way I knew how to prepare them for manhood. Much of their training was based off the television show Deadliest Catch, along with movies Cabin Boy and Down Periscope.”
Jason Mantzoukas [01:02:19] What? Kids should not watch some of those.
Paul Scheer [01:02:24] “Upon graduation, several of my well instructed little seamen have taken upon themselves.”
Jason Mantzoukas [01:02:32] No. Little seamen? That’s the t shirt.
Paul Scheer [01:02:36] The Young Mariners Society. Little seamen. That should be a shirt. Yeah. “Upon graduation, several of my well instructed little seamen have taken upon themselves the distinguished title of mariner, winning the rope swinging competition this past summer with my boys. I gave them a night off from our rigorous activities.”
June Diane Raphael [01:02:52] I just got to remind everyone, this is an Amazon review. Yeah, it just don’t want to get lost in the sauce like someone wrote this.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:03:00] This isn’t an article where they’re like, we uncovered this journal entry from the most prolific Iowan pedophile in history.
June Diane Raphael [01:03:11] Amazon review. Okay.
Paul Scheer [01:03:13] “Winning the rope swinging competition this past summer with my boys, I gave them a night off from our rigorous activities to enjoy a little R&R with a movie night. Without a doubt, they earned it. This movie was selected for its theme of maturation from boy to man. To everyone’s delight. This movie was a hit. Family values galore and no home should be complete without it. Five stars.”
Jason Mantzoukas [01:03:45] I don’t know what’s going on unless that has been written from jail. I am flummoxed by that.
Paul Scheer [01:03:52] Now. I think a lot of you want to know where this came from. And you know what? I said this earlier today, that, this film, out of a list of 542 titles, the most popular films in Danish animation, Ronal the Barbarian is the second most popular film in their list, after Ninjago Masters of Spin Jitsu. So it’s Ninjago.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:04:22] That’s a Danish production?
Paul Scheer [01:04:24] No, no, this is like the most popular films.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:04:27] Oh, I’m sorry. Yes. I thought you meant that they themselves had produced. But now I understand.
Paul Scheer [01:04:31] No, this is just the list of the most.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:04:33] So Ninjago movie. And then Ronal, before Toy Story and Disney Animation.
Paul Scheer [01:04:39] A list of 542 movies. These are the top two. Now you might be thinking, well, how did this movie come to be? Well, I want to tell you.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:04:46] I would ask, how did it get made?
Paul Scheer [01:04:49] Well, I will tell you that the director of this movie was known, for kind of pushing the boundaries and continues to push the boundaries, because in 2021, he released a new TV show called John Dillerman. Translation John Penis man, or John Willimon or John Dongman. And it’s a Danish stop motion animated television series about a man and his very long penis.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:05:18] Long? I don’t like long as a descriptor. Okay, long.
Paul Scheer [01:05:25] John Penisman.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:05:26] Concerning.
Paul Scheer [01:05:27] John, penis man is a middle aged man who wears a red and white striped bathing costume and has a penis that can extend to a length of dozens of meters. Whoa. He uses his prehensile penis, stretches through his clothes as a tool to tame lions and fly like a helicopter.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:05:45] What?
Paul Scheer [01:05:46] But his penis.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:05:47] Please tell me we’re going to watch the first episode right now.
Paul Scheer [01:05:50] But his penis also acts independently of John getting him into trouble.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:05:55] He has a sentient penis?
Paul Scheer [01:06:01] The series is aimed at 4 to 8 year olds. It was on for two seasons, had about 40 episodes, and upon release over 250,000 children viewed it.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:06:15] But mostly all on a boat in Iowa. All of those views from a boat in Iowa that is up on cinder blocks.
June Diane Raphael [01:06:29] I don’t like that one bit. And in fact, like the more I use it with this movie, the more I like I think. I think only adult women should watch this. I don’t want anyone else watching it.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:06:43] You don’t want them getting the wrong idea?
June Diane Raphael [01:06:45] This is a movie for women. That’s it. I don’t think it’s right for anyone else. This is for us.
June Diane Raphael [01:06:58] I would love it if groups of women, like they were going to the Barbie movie, started going to the Ronal the barbarian movies.
June Diane Raphael [01:07:05] That’s it. I don’t want other people watching it and getting the wrong ideas.
Paul Scheer [01:07:12] And now we will watch the opening of John Penisman.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:07:16] Thank you. Thank you Paul. Thank you for this gift.
John Penisman Audio [01:07:20] Today. Dear John. [Intro Music]
Jason Mantzoukas [01:07:50] Here’s what I’ll say. I’m on board for that. That’s. That looks great. I’ll watch. I’ll watch. How many episodes do we got?
Paul Scheer [01:08:00] 39 episodes.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:01] I’m in! I also like that he’s somehow dressed like Waldo.
June Diane Raphael [01:08:07] He looks a lot like Waldo.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:08] Yeah. Waldo with a big, long dick.
June Diane Raphael [01:08:11] Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:11] What the fuck? That’s a kid’s show.
Paul Scheer [01:08:15] 4 to 8 year olds.
June Diane Raphael [01:08:15] It’s not.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:18] Imagine if they tried to do an American adaptation of that, how much people would lose their fucking minds.
June Diane Raphael [01:08:25] Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:25] They’re trying to show us kids a man with a 12 foot dick.
Paul Scheer [01:08:30] Well, now I’m going to say.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:31] I’m like, obsessed with that, that that is some nuts level stuff. Guys, we really fucking did it today. Yeah. This is this was I would I am shocked beyond belief by so much of what has transpired on this stage. And isn’t it wonderful that 13 years in we can still delight in this absolute trash together?
Paul Scheer [01:08:55] And I will say this.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:56] Cut that from the podcast. Don’t put out videos of me saying nice things.
Paul Scheer [01:09:03] I will say this. We put this show on sale at the very last minute in New York. You always come out. We appreciate it. We’ll be back and we’ll torture you more. We’ll find other ways to do it. I’m so excited that you’re here. We love being at Bam. I just want to give a shout out to our amazing tour manager, Beth Thomas.
John Penisman Audio [01:09:20] Thank you, Beth.
Jason Mantzoukas [01:09:21] Give it up for Beth.
Paul Scheer [01:09:23] Give it up for June Diane Raphael! Give it up for Jason Mantzoukas!
Unidentified [01:09:26] I am Paul Scheer. Thank you everyone. This was amazing. Thank you. Good night!
Jason Mantzoukas [01:09:32] Eat shit, Brooklyn.
Paul Scheer [01:09:34] Thank you so much to the staff of the Brooklyn Academy of Music and our amazing tour manager, Beth Thomas. If you want to feel like you were a part of the show, you can get yourself a t shirt. That’s right. We designed it live with the audience that night. It says Ronal the Barbarian, a movie for women with an image of barbarian June standing on top of a pile of skulls. And yes, one skull does have Jason hair. You can snag that shirt in all of our shirts at teepublic.com/stores/HDTGM and people, it’s time. It is time to buy my book. I know you might be putting it off because it doesn’t come out until May, but guess what? You gotta buy it now and then when it comes out May, it will be a surprise, a beautiful surprise. And if you preorder, you can get access to a very special part of my website where you can see videos and clips and things that have never been seen before. Plus, if you get the audiobook, there are tons of bonus features in there. So there you go. I will not be able to record a brand new Last Looks next week since we will be on tour in the UK. So instead we will be rereleasing a How Did This Get Made classic episode in its place. I’m talking about the only movie in the fast franchise we haven’t yet pulled out of the vault. That’s right, Hobbs and Shaw featuring all star guests Adam Scott and Nicole Byer. So if you want to find out what our next movie is going to be, make sure you tune in to that Hobbs and Shaw rerelease, because I will announce it at the top of that episode. And don’t worry, we will still be following up on Ronal the Barbarian on a future super size Last Looks. And don’t forget to send us your corrections and omissions by leaving a voicemail at 619-PAUL-ASK or writing a comment on our discord at discord.gg/HDTGM. All right people, we are going to be in Europe and we want you there. Tickets are still available for some locations. And remember you can find us online everywhere @HDTGM or visit us at HDTGM.com. If you love the show, tell your friends to listen to it too. Seriously. Word of mouth is the best mover of this pod. And you know what? It’s a lot more fun arguing about bad movies with a buddy. And last but not least, I got to say thank you to all your listeners who support this show every week and our entire team who this show couldn’t be done without. I’m talking about our producer, Scott Sonne, Molly Reynolds, our movie picking producer Avril Halley, our engineers, Casey Holford and Rich Garcia, and our associate producer, Jess Cisneros. That’s all I got, people. We will see you next week. Until then, bye for now.
