Hello, people of Earth, and welcome to How Did This Get Made? I am Paul, joined as always by Jason and June. How are you both? Good. What's going on? Very good. We have...

a pair of special guests today. These two hilarious women are on a brand new show called Best Friends Forever. It's on NBC premiering April 4th, right? Yes, at 8.30, right after Betty White's Off Their Rockers. That's for real. That's right. That's happening, America.

Please welcome Jessica Sinclair and Lennon Parham. Thank you for having us. And you guys are here to talk about Betty White's Off the Rocks. Yes, of course. So is it like Kelly Mandel's show, but different and old? Because it's a prank show, but with old people. Old person prank show. Old people. Now, Lennon, do you know if old people prank young people? Yeah, I think that's the concept. That's what's going on. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm very excited. It's not a one-time special. It's a series. It's a series. Fantastic. Uh-huh.

And you guys have been paired with it because you guys are appealing to a similar elderly demographic. Yes, of course. Elderly women and gay men are our target. That's true. That's huge. That's true. This is not a bit. That is true. And if we get those people that I don't need, I can retire. Is that who you're marketing towards? Yes. CBS has made a fortune basically doing that. Yeah, they have. That's true. Yeah, they have. I'm hoping to see a remake of Designing Women. What is their gay people show?

CBS. Blue Bloods. Blue Bloods. Blue Bloods. Oh, my God. That's Tom Selleck's mustache, I guess. Tom Selleck? Tom Selleck's mustache. No, you said Tom Selleck's mustache. The emphasis was in a really weird spot. Wait, I said Tom Selleck's mustache. You know what, guys? Screw you guys. Starring Tom Selleck. Tom Selleck's mustache. All right, so Pluto Nash, the adventures of Pluto Nash. I just want to open up with my first question, which is,

How would you classify this movie? Is it a comedy? Is it an action movie? I don't know. I was confounded by almost every element of this movie from the beginning to the prologue to the seven years ahead. I didn't understand if Alec Baldwin was in it or not. Yes. Like I was completely mystified by what was happening. And all of it seems to be predicated on this action. He shoot him up. He's going to be killed just for like moon gambling. Well, that's.

I would also like to know if anyone could describe just like a one line. Yeah, what's the pitch? In one line, what is the movie? Yeah, yeah. You're Black Han Solo on the moon. I guess so, yeah. Because of that jacket in the first scene. He was a smuggler. Was he a smuggler as well? Yeah, he was a smuggler. He was a smuggler. Just got out of jail. On the moon. And you also are a very famous club owner. Exactly. Then you give up smuggling to become a very famous club owner. I'm sorry. No, no. Can I ask you this? Yeah. Was he a famous smuggler?

club owner before he got behind Joe, then there is a timeline problem because by the time he arrives with Jay Moore and he's in the kilt in the very beginning, everyone's like, ooh, the Pluto Nash. Because he was smuggling. He was the famous smuggler. I didn't know that. I thought he had had, and I kept

thinking to myself during that first scene. - What was the movie you watched? I wanna know. - During the first scene, I thought to myself, well, who ran his club when he was in jail? - Sure. - And that wasn't clear. So now that's cleared a lot of things up. - He was maybe an agent. - It also wasn't clear though. - I almost. - To start out. - It also really wasn't clear, did he always have designs to become a club owner

It was his dream, he said. When the gangsters are torturing Jay Moore, he says, it's always my dream to open a club of my own. Oh, he buys Jay Moore's club that he's singing in. Is that correct? He settles the debt. I would pay upwards of $1,000 to just listen to Jessica St. Clair describe the movie she thinks she watched. Guys, I feel like...

I feel like someone had given me the date rape drug and then I woke up. Well, it doesn't make sense. And my butthole was sore and I had some vague memories of having screened Pluto Nash. That's the experience of watching that movie. I thought when he said it was always my dream to open a club that he was lying just to get Jay Moore out of a pickle. Maybe. That's possible. Well, the opening scene is Jay Moore on stage

Being a Scottish crooner named Anthony Frankowski on the moon. It's on the moon. Just so everybody knows, this movie takes place on the moon. You never see it in 2080. It takes place in 2080 for five minutes. Right.

It jumps seven years ahead. I also want to say that Rosario Dawson in one scene keeps referring to back in 76. That's only four years ago. That's like if we were back in 2008. By the time we see Rosario, it's 2087. I didn't know that. I didn't know what was going on. She's probably at nine years old. I really wish you could just describe what you think you saw.

Who do you think Rosario Dawson was? Do you know St. Clair? She was just a girl who was trying to make it big. She'd come from Salt Lake City. I know she mentioned that. You're right. That's pretty good. And also her dad was a famous smuggler? Wait, her dad was a smuggler?

Her dad was Nicky Legs or somebody? Nicky Sticks. Isn't that a famous singer? Nicky Sticks is the guitarist for Molly Crew. Basically what we're saying is this movie from moment one absolutely

doesn't make any sense and it is definitely not a comedy. I counted one and a half jokes. I laughed out loud. I want to know what the half was. I laughed out loud once. Oh, really? Let's see. That was when Eddie Murphy did that really long pause after Jay Moore described how he was going to make it to the other elevator. Yes. I thought that was a joke. That was a solid joke and I considered the half joke the robot maid who

would bend over they called that the oops program they could look at her robot vagina like that was basically like what Eddie Murphy gets off on looking at robot vagina I'll tell you what's a disturbing moment of the film is when who's that who's that Louis Guzman talks about renting a robot to rape that robot and then it turning on him Terminator style he references the Terminator movie what's wrong with that

It's terrifying to me. That's not right. That's a message we're sending that isn't right. It wasn't like he rented a tiny child. Oh, no. My understanding was he had a robot that he was the pimp for. No, he tried to have sex with that robot and then the robot turned on him. Yes, then the robot turned on him.

And went Terminator style, which is a reference that at that point is hundreds of years old. It's like referencing a talkie now. But at the same time, there's a point in the movie where Eddie Murphy is watching a Jimmy Cagney movie. So I guess all time is funny. Yes, but nobody remembers Frank Sinatra. Oh, right, yes. So, yeah. The timeline is up for grabs. We're not going to go step by step for the movie because it's going to make... We are already... By the way, if you're confused by what's happening in the podcast... Four weeks!

The movie is a billion times more confusing. Basically, all you need to know is that someone wants Eddie Murphy to sell his club. He says no. They blow it up. And then the whole movie is running, running into a cameo.

Explosions, running into a cameo, explosions, running into a cameo. Space gunfights. Eddie Murphy fighting himself. Oh, and then that. Murphs on Murphs. Spoiler alert. I think I knew from the beginning because they started off with a hip-hop version of Blue Moon. Yes. And then the soundtrack never failed me for the rest of the time.

The soundtrack is one of the worst soundtracks of all time. It's like Saved by the Bell, underscoring, but jazzy hip-hop. The Blue Moon thing in the beginning was like, hip-hop Blue Moon is really bad. It's like... Whatever.

What about when they show their... They actually say rap in Blue Moon. They go like, rap. Like the hip hop track over the Blue Moon who calls out that rap. But mad props, mad props to Rosario and Jay who both did their own singing. Well, Jay Moore probably shouldn't have done his own singing if he was like that. I mean, I thought that was an odd choice. It was an odd. And was Rosario trying to launch a singing career?

career? Well, you know, she was in Rent. No, I mean in real life. She was? She is a singer. I wrote those lyrics down for that last song because I love them. Do you want to please sing them? I don't remember the tune, but it was, we be getting crunked up. We be getting pumped up.

We put that fire out. I don't know why that's a good thing. We lift your glasses higher now. Isn't the chorus, everything is all right? The movie ends and that song lets you know that, hey, everything is all right. That is a pretty amazing thing. Did you know that this movie was ranked the 79th worst film in 2000? But it has the distinction of being

The biggest financial loss of any movie besides John Carter of all time. Is that true? Yes. John Carter just beat it out. John Carter is destroyed. Really? Yes. Yes.

The budget for this movie. Now, by the way, it looks like... It costs $5 to make. Exactly. It's the most set-yest sets. It looks like they just threw a bunch of neon on Disneyland Street. Yes. If you've never been to Universal CityWalk, it looks like a dilapidated version of that. And the weird thing about that is they made this movie. The movie came out in, what, 2002? Yeah. So they made this movie in the 2000s. It looks like...

It looks like someone in the 70s made a movie about the future. Well, here's a piece of info I dug up. The future when they were making it was more futuristic than what the future in this movie looked like. People still use pay phones in this movie. Yes. That's the one thing that... Jetsons don't even use pay phones. Here's the situation. This movie was in development for 17 years. Yes. That is insane. Started off in 1985. So that is what

they thought the future would be in 1985. And nobody updated it? They didn't do production design in 1985. Maybe they did. They probably did it in 2000. They did those dioramas. Maybe the set designer made those dioramas in 1985. They didn't have, you know. Well, they got a lot of funny ads in there like America Online is a big thing in 2008. Lunar edition. Lunar edition of America Online. I also have

I would love to talk to the costume designer about that rust-colored, ruffled shirt and leather jacket that Rosaria Dawson was in. It was the most unflattering thing I've ever seen. She was dressed like a pile of garbage. All of the men are dressed like Arsenio Hall.

It looks like a Steve Harvey clothing store blew up and then outfitted the entire cast. It literally is like, oh, well, there's a lunar colony now. Yeah, it's Little America. What does everybody wear? Zoot suits? That sounds right. Well, I mean, again to talk about how bad. I own that CD. What? What are you talking about? That's true. Isn't that one? Big Bad Voodoo Daddy? Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. You own that CD? Wait a minute. Wait, does he have a casingle?

Whatever the CD was that had that song. I feel like if I went into your house, you would have five CDs and they are that CD. The Shrek 2 soundtrack. Shrek 2 soundtrack. Oh, not Shrek 1? Why Shrek 2? Why not Shrek 1? I don't know. Did you lose Shrek 1? Maybe. I don't know. But I definitely have Shrek 2. I feel like you have all soundtracks. Yes. Like a Steel Magnolias soundtrack maybe. That's true. Anne of Green Gables soundtrack. Yep.

That's pretty much it. Is that it? Yeah, that's it. And then she has Gloria. And like George Winston's winter. And maybe, who are the girls? You have old school Gloria Estefan. Yes, and who are the women that used to wear the satin gloves? En Vogue. En Vogue. Never gonna get it. Yeah, I own that as well. Wow. Movingon.org. And movingon.org? Is that a different organization than moveon.org? That's a past tense one. Is that a website? Or is that...

Let's get back to the film. I wanted to... We did... Let's talk about the film. Can I go back to Jay Moore for one second? Yeah, sure. Okay, because I was trying to figure out... Now, was he a... So he wasn't Scottish, obviously. His last name was... I think he was a Scottish. No, that's Polish. They kept making reference to him as Polish. So he was just a guy who wanted to find, like...

a gimmick for his stage persona. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So he was wearing the Scottish crew or whatever. He called himself.

Sisterhood, above all. From Frank Herbert's epic universe and from the novel Sisterhood of Dune comes a new HBO original series set 10,000 years before the birth of Paul Atreides.

The club was a really dingy club because no one wanted to hear the Scottish. Where a diarrhea appeared to be coming out of the faucets. That's like your worst nightmare. That bathroom was like 10 million times worse than the train spotting bathroom. That's like watching Saw for me, is you having to use that type of bathroom.

Also, interesting fact about Eddie Murphy, when he goes into a disgusting bathroom, he goes, he turns on the faucet and like green goo comes out and he's like, let me get my handy wipe out. Eddie Murphy travels. Insert shot. Yes. Insert shot of handy wipe. Like, yeah. Extreme closeup of a handy wipe being opened. A little bit of OCD. Like this is like another part of Pluto Nash's character that we don't really revisit.

that he just has handy wipes. Never come back to. And when he comes back from the bathroom, Jay Moore is tied up by these gangsters who he owes money to and they have a can that says battery acid and they're about to pour it in his mouth via a funnel. But I didn't know that you could get battery acid in a can. Oh yeah, totally. What would you ever

do that. Like, yeah, like a can of battery acid. I need to pour that on something. Oh, are you going to put it in batteries? Sure. Sure. Just give me that can of battery. It won't eat through the can though, right? No, no. Doesn't eat through a battery, does it? Did you guys recognize the guy's assistant who was helping with the battery acid? Who was it? I think it was the grown up kid from Bronx Tale. Really?

Really? Oh. The cross-eyed guy? No, that's Victor Varnado. No, that's the guy we know. That's the guy we know. Victor Varnado we know. Yes. I think, is it Max Casella? Is that his name? Oh, the kid from Doogie Howser? Yeah. That might have been him. I'm going to look. No, that's wrong. Don't...

That's wrong. You just outed him. Judy Houser is wrong. By the way, I'm going to read you what this is. We were saying, how would you describe this movie? I'm going to describe it to you. Here's how somebody wrote it as a pitch. After his successful club is blown to flaming bits, Pluto and his band travel across the moon. His band? His band travel across the moon looking for clues to who's behind the arson, along with Bruno. Arson? What arson? What arson?

When they blew up his club. His club. I guess that's all. But there aren't any clues. There's no clues. He knows who blew it up. Yeah. He knows who blew it up. Along with Bruno, his bodyguard, and Dina, the singer, Pluto visits a seedy motel, his secret hideout, and the casino of the most powerful man on the moon, searching for the evildoer, only to find the destruction of his club may have been his own fault.

Whoa. That, I guess, is the nice twist. When does that happen? I would... What's the nice twist? When does that happen, that you find out it was his own fault? One, he runs. He's got a clone. He's got a clone. He fights himself. You remember that? He didn't clone himself. No, but the guy had access to all his brain stuff. Oh.

Like, basically, what they did was he got an appendix surgery in prison, and they took a piece of his appendix, they cloned a new Eddie Murphy, then Eddie Murphy found out that he was being a puppet, and then he got rid of the mafia guys that were making him a puppet, and now he's not a puppet, he's a real mafia guy. I thought there was some really strong character work done by Ileana Douglas. In that wig. That wig. That wig did a lot for her. And the top and bottoms with cutouts. I just want to pause for a second.

St. Clair, do you know who we're talking about? Yes, the woman who does the cloning. No, not cloning. She does body augmentation. I think putting them, so there's a scene where they go to get body work done where it's like moon plastic surgery and then they look in the mirror and they can see what they could look like. Like a fun house mirror. That goes on for like 45 minutes. I think they sucked up most of their budget on those shots, honestly. I think that's why there was no money for the

set with a costume. But they only do it twice. Look at their body as Africans. Like Africans from the jungle. Yes, Amazon. With Eddie Murphy going, I look like a doofus. I look like a doofus. Weird term. That's Amazon. That's Amazon. Then they get bodybuilder look. Venice Beach. Venice Beach is the reference. Yes, Venice Beach. But he keeps on taking the piss out of Rosaria Dawson by telling her she needs a bigger butt. Yeah. Yeah.

Which, you know what? Not the worst advice. Well, then Eddie Murphy creates a body for Rosario Dawson where her boobs are giant and her ass is giant. And he's like, yeah, I like that. It's like, she looks grotesque. Oh, yeah. And so does Eddie Murphy. Wait, is grotesque good? I forget. Can we spend, I don't know, maybe the next 30 minutes talking about Randy Quaid's performance in this movie? Listen, I think he was the only committed member of this cast. I think you're right. I felt like he had pathos.

I thought he had, he was obviously doing, he had done some movement work. I don't know if he worked with a coach, a movement coach. Randy Quaid, just so you know, plays the robot bodyguard who is an older model and he talks very weird like this, like the whole movie. And they modulated his voice a bit too. I think that may have been Randy Quaid. What?

Regardless, I think he was overlooked during awards season. Really? I don't know what else was up. Do you think that this is the performance that got... Of a lifetime? Yes. That got the people against him, all the people... Who was he saying was against him? Randy Clayton? Oh, the Hollywood... The Hollywood Mafia. The Hollywood Mafia, yes. Was his performance too good in this, and that's why the Hollywood Mafia is coming up? I feel like this movie might have driven him into absolute insanity. Yes. Like, he might have never recovered. Because this is the kind of role that you disappear into...

He just might never have come out of it. Like a Daniel Day-Lewis type of situation. Totally. Yeah. I want to know what was up with all the robot sex drive. Yeah. Every robot was horny as shit. Real horny. Yeah. And there was one time where Randy Quaid says, I can't have sex with her because she has 120 volt circuits. She's 220. He's 110. Yeah. And he goes, well, why can't you get an adapter? And he goes, it just doesn't feel right.

Whoever wrote this movie. It's a condom joke, but it's also, you know what? It's advocating unsafe sex, guys. Wrote that adapter on and get in there. Why would you invent robots that could fuck each other? I mean, I guess it has a thing. Who's like, our servant slash bodyguard robots are boring. What do they need? I don't know. Horniness? Yeah, let's watch them fuck. And then when Louie Guzman pulls...

What did you call him? Louie Guzman? Louie? Isn't that his name? What's his name? Louie. Louie Guzman? Oh, Lennon's doing it with the right accent. Oh, it's L-U-I-S. Okay, sorry. Louie Guzman and Louie C-K. Louie and Tom Selleck. And Tom Selleck.

Luis Guzman has to jumpstart Randy Quaid at some point and has to pull a metal rod out of his zipper to attach a jumper cable to. At which point I was like, what the fuck is going on? This is sexy. And the whole time Luis Guzman is afraid that Randy Quaid's going to wake up and fuck

him to death. Right. Go terminate her on him. He talks about that fear before. So I was thinking we'd see some of that. And you were excited for it, I bet. Yeah, of course. Just FYI, they were like dead, right? That's for your information. They died. They ran out of air. And then they should have died because that was like two minutes. I believe they did die. But then they were woken back

up with just the breath of oxygen. With magic stuff. Let's even just talk about this scene. Their car blows up, their amazing car, which is being piloted by junkies. Why do all futuristic space cars look like old-timey cars from the 1930s? The same reason that all the women had 40s hairstyles. Which is what? Yeah. Because

The moon is going on a different... It's a retro angle. So basically... Wait, wait, wait. Their car is blown up and then Rosaria Dawson's like, oh my God, what are we going to do? We don't have food or water. They're in spacesuits. They're out on the surface of the moon now. Right. And he's like, well, don't worry about food or water because we're going to run out of air sooner than later. And they...

And they die because they run out of air. And then all of a sudden comes this space Winnebago. Driven by Guzman. This is not even a first draft of the movie. This is kind of an outline that no one ever even looked at or gave notice. It was like morning pages. This is morning pages. And then he comes. This is the art.

Or it's like somebody got... People were journaling this movie. Somebody journaled this movie. I feel like people skipped by it and probably got dailies and were like, wait, what the fuck? Did they just die? Yeah. Did they just die in the fucking movie? Don't worry, though. We've established that no one travels on this side of the moon, but we'll definitely make a guy in a random... Yeah, we'll just have a guy drive by and give him a little bit of oxygen and guess what? They're fine.

They're back. That was the best song, the song he was listening to. That was good. There's a lot of amazingly bad hip-hop. It's like somebody tried to, whoever was doing the music were like, let's combine it. It's hip-hop, but it's old school. So it's like everything is a mixture of like, it's like brown. That's what I feel like. It's like, oh yeah, we'll mix red and blue and we'll get brown. I feel like everything in this movie, the music especially, but like the costuming and everything was like, okay,

Let's take what people are super into right now and then think about how it might be future-ish. Yeah, to just cut a hole out of her, just the bottom part of her pants. How's it going to be like just crazy future moon movies? Well, I mean, I think the best future vision was when they go to pay him $10 million and all the dollar bills are Hillary Clinton. Wow.

Boom. Still works. The joke still works. Killing it. What about moon dancing? What the fuck was that? Now, they paid money for a choreographer. They said, come up with a moon dance. Not only choreographer, those were clearly not just background extras. Those were dancers. Those were dancers. Same dancers who I believe used in the space rave in The Matrix 2.

Basically, their moon dance is, I would describe it as punching and stepping. And also like this. Lots of angles. Lots of right angles. Lots of right angle movements. A lot of perpendicular stuff. And they're not dancing with each other. They're very separate. They're all very separate from each other. Life on the moon is lonely.

I guess so. And you have to like, don't touch. Like, you gotta be just like, you don't get too close. Yes, it is. It's like everybody's a robot. Robot. I can't talk today. Did you guys like the smart water ad that Eddie Murphy stands in front of? Yeah.

When they're giving some information, they stand in front of a smart water ad. Wait, can we get back to what was John Cleese's role in that car? John Cleese was the butler of the car, but he was not a rope. He was a car butler. He didn't provide any information to further the plot. He was a hologram. I'm fairly certain he shot that part in his own...

a house in London they didn't even require him to go to the set he didn't even really put him in costume he's not even in a butler costume he's in like an okay suit he found like an old cap and put it on and just put himself on at a certain point Randy Quaid he is okay John Cleese is a hologram or a video screen so he's not a person he's not a person okay he's a hologram or a video screen whatever who's like you're not the owner of this car you can't drive this car I'm calling the police Randy Quaid by the way thank you so much

You should audition for SNL. The minister of silly walks. Okay, listen. Then Randy Quaid points a gun at the computer screen and is like, we got to get out of here. And he's like, okay, okay. You can't kill a hologram. What? What happened? A hologram should have no fear of mortality. Of course. But I guess if robots are horny. Yeah.

I wish I was a hologram. That's a lost Philip K. Dick novel, I think. A hologram should have no fear of mortality. And then they have these terrible ads throughout all the... They sometimes do these overhead shots of Moon Village or whatever they're in, Little America. And they're not funny, nor are they interesting. One is...

Need lumbar support? We'll replace your spine with a lunar lumbar support. It's nothing. It's not going for a joke. Maybe that's in the future. I don't know. Stuff like that to me was all like, you know what? We need all of these big establishing shots of the world that we created and spent hundreds of millions of dollars on, but it's boring.

Let's ADR some like advertisements. And then they wrote those lines, which were horrible. I realized I started to feel insane halfway through the movie because there's no sunlight. No, it's true. It feels dark the entire time. It's like when you go to Vegas and you start to feel sick to your stomach because it's a smell of, it's almost like. The movie gave me seasonal affective disorder. It did. I have sad.

I have it. I have sad. You mean sad-z? I can't have sad. You know what else this movie made me feel? A certain sickness that I've only felt when I watched Howard the Duck. It had a similar feel to it. Oh, wow. Yeah. And what is that?

Is it the time with Howard Duckling? It's the pops of color. Yeah, it's like those big, bold. I remember it very clearly when she brings him at one point lunch and every item on the tray from the glasses to everything is so brightly colored and crazy looking that I was like, that is perfectly the problem with this movie. But again, I maintain that in 2000, 2002, the production designer should have had a better aesthetic than this. It was the same guy as Cool as Ice.

It was? Oh. No, it wasn't. But it might as well have been. The director was the same director who directed City Slickers. City Slickers. Which is one of my favorite movies. I love City Slickers. And

I didn't know that. Mighty Joe Young as well. And Tremors 4. Was that about a gorilla? And Tremors 1. Yeah, Tremors 1. He kind of went down there. Which is a cult favorite. Don't people like Tremors? Worms that come out of the... Aren't people still into Tremors, guys? Guys! We all like Tremors. Guys! No, but seriously, people are on board for Tremors. All I remember about Tremors is that my friend Jenny started...

fucking around with my boyfriend at the time, Tom Hall. When Tremors came out? It was during a youth group lock-in. While you were watching Tremors? She got fingered while... It might not have been Jenny. He was your boyfriend? Francis.

What? He was your boyfriend and he fingered someone during tremors in a youth lockdown? I just said finger. Well, either way, that would be the best. That would actually be the best way to... I'm sorry if fingered is the wrong word. To get fingered during tremors might be the best thing that could ever happen. Well, that's the thing. As the worm's coming out of the fucking ground, you know where the worm is going into. You know what I'm talking about? I'm talking about a wiener in her mouth. Speaking of sex scenes...

The moment when Sweaty Murphy kisses Rosario Dawson.

is the stranger. Oh, yeah. They kiss for a while because he's hiding from one of the mafia guys. Right. And we never see his angle on the kiss, by the way. Only hers. By the way, I bet it's his body double did that. You can see how many times. Because they never cut to him kissing her. By the way, didn't he do, he did another movie with Rosario. Go ahead, yeah. But anyway, then she finally pulls away from the kiss and she gives like a

15 second reaction take which is just that her socks have been blown off now this kiss there's no mouth movement it's like just like two mouths have been like puzzle pieces stuck together there's nothing happening in this kiss wait a minute wait a minute isn't that how you kiss oh god

Wait, wait, wait. Whoa, whoa. Guys, guys. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop the clock. No, but in all seriousness, this is how you kiss. This is how you kiss. Guys, you mash your mouth together and then wait. It's a... You don't... There's no movement. I push my lips to her lips. I count to 60. I pull away and I watch her cum. And she was like, oh my... I mean, she was floored by that kiss. Another romantic moment that I really enjoyed was when he went to the...

Remember he went and got champagne? Oh, yeah. And literally two seconds later, he turned around and she was asleep. Asleep. Right. John Cleese had said, oh, now you guys are going to get busy. Right? Yes. You know what? He's going to have your way with her. Yeah. And then he turned around and he was like, oh, she's asleep and put his coat over her. He also very awkwardly, I don't know why I remember this, but in the final scene where she realizes that he is killed bad Eddie Murphy. Yes. And then he is the real Eddie Murphy. He kissed her on the top of the shoulder. Oh, yeah.

He was like, did I scare you? And then like kissed her on the cheek. To me, I didn't want them to get together because it was like, that was his best friend's daughter. Like that's what they established. He should have felt fatherly and not fuckerly. Let's talk about Eddie Murphy's mother for a hot second. Pam Grier? Yeah. She was phenomenal. Pam Grier. She brought her own wardrobe. Is that her own hair and makeup? She did her own hair and makeup and she brought her own wardrobe. I hope we're all...

I'm clear about that. And her own weapons. And then she just would disappear from scenes that she had just been running past. Oh, yes. Remember that? Probably because they couldn't locate her on set. They're like, we can't get... Last time we saw her, she was at craft service. Let's just keep shooting. Let's pretend like she just wasn't here, I guess. Just keep on going. And that old cop that she was in love with that she would never marry. Peter Boyle. They never followed through on that. No. He was killed. I wanted to see them get together, though, before he was killed. Oh, he was killed and then she was so upset. I feel like they shot that.

scene and we just never saw it. They never followed through. I would love to have seen a sex scene between Pam Greer and Peter Boyle. That would have made that movie worth it. Can I ask you guys a question for real? If you lived in a future world in which you had like a robot bodyguard or a robot maid or whatever, would you have sex in front of the robot? No. This is an earnest question because people were always almost getting it on while the robot was there. Well, and I think that was...

Here's what was weird about that. I thought we were setting up that when the robot was being charged, they could hear things, but they didn't understand what they were hearing, right? No, because he says they heard that toaster comment. That was only when they were getting a phone call. Yeah. When they were transcribing a phone call. Because I thought what we were building toward was a sex scene between Rosaria Dawson and Murphs, which the robot would have witnessed. Yeah.

And they thought, they would have thought, obviously he didn't hear anything, but then he would have. But the reason that Murphy didn't get rid of it. He really thought about this. Never had. His robot was because he kept 20 years of secrets. Remember? He didn't want to get rid of it. He said, okay. Because he knew all of his secrets. Smuggle secrets. Smuggle secrets. That's also the name of a soft core porn. You know what I'm going to do to you later? I'm going to smuggle secrets the shit out of you. I'm going to give you all my smuggle secrets.

Yeah. All right. Did the bad guys in the movie want to just build casinos on the moon and get gambling there or also want to clone on the moon?

No, I think it was just secrets. The clone was because they knew that Eddie Murphy could be a good club runner. How did they know that from when he was in prison? No idea. How did they know from prison that he would... This is a huge problem. That's why I thought he was already a club owner. How did they know in prison when they made a clone of him that he would then go on to run a...

a club. They just thought he was a good smuggler and this guy would have... He'd be good. He'd be a puppet. He'd be a puppet and he'd be real good. It was a leap of faith. But what they didn't predict was that he was... That he did have that dream. That he would have a mind of his own? Yeah, exactly. But I guess what I'm asking though is was cloning in the... You know...

In the world of this movie, were a lot of people cloned? No. I don't think so. Cloning is illegal. James Cloned his wife. And so was his old partner. But cloning is illegal, remember? Yeah, it was banned. It was made illegal, and that doctor had to go out of business, and then Ileana Douglas had to do it on the sly. But also, Peter Boyle, he goes, eh. He goes, you know, Peter Boyle visits one of his old cop friends in like a mini scene where he's like, oh, man, in the old days, you know, wasn't it good to be partners? And he's like, yeah, but...

I'm a clone. He didn't say that, but then he kills him. But he's a clone too. But I want to talk about the Alec Baldwin scene. The Robert De Niro scene? Yeah.

You think that Alec Baldwin is going to be the big bad guy in the movie. It's like he finds out that this mafia guy... The plot is incomprehensible. It's like... It is like the worst Raymond Chandler novel. It's like a Raymond Chandler novel where certain pages are ripped out so you can't make it make sense. But he finds... Written by somebody who normally writes a Nickelodeon TV show. Exactly. And so now Alec Baldwin pops up as this mafia guy...

Who talks about making gambling, then pushes a guy down the stairs. On camera. On camera. And then also pulls a reporter close to him and is like, hey, honey, you want to ask me questions? Come to my hotel room later in the night. On camera. On a news camera. It was all on Court TV, live on Court TV. Because, again, Court TV has been huge in the future. Yep, 2087, Court TV. What happened to Alec Baldwin? We never see Alec Baldwin again. Guys, I feel really upset right now because I don't know...

I might have fallen asleep during the reveal of Eddie Murphy's clone. And here is my question. I thought that perhaps Alec Baldwin's brain had been put into Eddie Murphy's body. Yeah, that's what happened. Is that what happened? No. You blew it. Oh, no. What happened to Alec Baldwin? I thought he was in charge. He's Rex. What happened to him? He's not Rex. No, he's not Rex. Eddie Murphy is Rex Carter.

I don't understand what's happening right now. Eddie Murphy was biting himself the entire movie. I feel scared right now. I know. I feel scared and upset right now. What happened? Who was he then? He was the Earth version of Rex Clark. Let her describe what happened to him. What do you think happened? I don't know.

Break it down for us. You saw two Eddie Murphys and what did you think at that point? When Murph on Murph, the Murph on Murph fight broke out. That Rex Carter had somehow gotten into the brain of the Eddie Murphy so that the whole time he was looking to kill himself.

His own, as himself or as Rex Carter? No, that Rex, I don't know. So you were, basically what I'm understanding is at some point in that last scene, you thought bad Eddie Murphy was going to like unzip himself and be Alec Baldwin. I thought he was living with inside of him. This is the way I understand it. This is the way I understand this movie. Living with inside of him.

This is the first time that genuine how did this get made confusion has almost reduced a guest to tears. If you guys could see me right now, I've taken off all my clothes and I'm just, I'm huddling, I'm shivering in the corner. And it is not cool. This is how I understand it.

Basically, Alec Baldwin was a mafia guy. How did you know from the footage? On Earth. And he's like, oh, these guys is crazy. I'm going to rub it to their... I mean, it's like a great Alec Baldwin SNL sketch. Yeah.

And he's like... And so he decided, okay, I gotta get control of the moon, but how am I gonna do it? I'm gonna clone a guy who's a really great smuggler, get him up there, and he's gonna work for me. And then he did that, cloned Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy's like, hey, guess what? Alec Baldwin, you get out of here. I don't like you. And he shot him into space. And then Eddie Murphy grew his power and then decided to...

The other Eddie Murphy hurt himself because he wanted to buy his own club. None of what you're saying makes any sense. Okay, so I agree. I'm not stupid. No, no, no, you're not stupid. I'm not a stupid person. Here's the other point I'd like to make is that Eddie Murphy, the good Eddie Murphy, really only had one club, Pluto Nash, right? It wasn't like he had an empire. No, but he had the only good club in... The most profitable club in Little America. How many Hillarys do you think that...

It was worth $10 million, Hillary. $10 million. That's what they were going to offer him. $10 million is not that much. Not much. But in 2087, how much... $10 million is not much now. Never mind in 2087. But that's what they were offering him to buy it off of him. So how much nightly do you think he was clearing? Oh, interesting.

Do you know what I mean? Well, are there taxes on the moon? Do we know? There are no taxes. For him to walk away from that, $10 million, and he didn't seem to seem insulted by the $10 million. He was more insulted by the fact they were offering to buy him out. Okay, I have now, I feel like,

I now have what I thought was the understanding of the end of the movie that I now think might also be wrong. Okay. What do you got? Tell us what you think happened. When it's revealed that Eddie Murphy is the bad guy, right? I was like, oh. But he has still the name, right? Right. He is.

No, he's Rex Carter. He has Rex Carter. So this is what I couldn't understand because I was like, oh, what he's going to do is kill Pluto Nash and then become Pluto Nash because he is him. Then he can run. He can have ownership of the club and he doesn't have to...

buy it. He doesn't have to do anything because he actually looks exactly like the guy who wants to be. You thought he was just going to sort of assume the role of Pluto now. And then he was like, but I'm going to call it Planet Rex or Club Rex instead of Club Pluto or whatever. And then I was like, okay, well that doesn't make sense now because if you called it Club Pluto now you're just taking over and then building on whatever it is you want to do. You can make the club a casino because you are being him.

But that was not his plan. That actually is a better plan. Thank you, Paul. I think that is a better plan. But here's the thing. Let's do a remake. No one's seen Eddie Murphy as Rex Carter. Except for one person. James Rebhorn, right? Right. James Rebhorn. Which, why was he in this movie? Why was anybody in this movie? So we're to understand that Rex Carter was just living in the penthouse of this hotel.

Never going outside. Never going outside. Never seeing anyone in Lunar Beach except for James Redhorn. Exactly. So how did Rex Carter come into existence? He was a clone of... Because Alec Baldwin... Cloned him. Cloned him when Eddie Murphy got in his appendix surgery back in jail. Here's a question about... And then what happened to WDW? Well, what happened was once Eddie Murphy clone decided, found out that they were using him as a puppet, he's like, I don't like to be used as a puppet. So I blasted them into space.

When did that happen? I missed that. Oh, he said that. He got like a blast. No, that's a scene we should have seen. Show, don't tell. You don't show, don't tell. Show, don't tell. I'm not an experienced writer, but what I do know is you don't say a big plot point like I need to see that. Yeah, I had no idea that happened. I need a visual on that one. Well, yeah, you needed a flashback. Or maybe he could have had him cryogenically like bring back the chihuahua, call back

to the Chihuahua. We could have had him in a freezer. That made me very upset. They cryogenically freeze Chihuahuas to bring them to the planet. So when you clone someone, like this movie... Just say it. This movie has the most questions we've ever had. Are we to understand that when they clone... Hands down the worst movie we've ever done, right? When they clone Pluto Nash, that Rex Carter arrived just in the same age, same body, same everything. With all of the...

So I believe Rex Carter is, as much as he is identical to Eddie Murphy, he is only about five years old. I

Actually, yes. And what I'm realizing now, though... He has all the memories of the 40-year-old Eddie Murphy. He would be over seven years old because they did that happen when he was in prison. Yes, I'm sorry. You're right. Do you guys think, though, that they shot a scene of actually seeing his appendix come out and seeing him in prison for a while? No. Oh, really? Because while I was watching it, I thought...

they were never going to start opening on the opening on Jay Moore. We probably should have seen very, very low stakes scene. Yes. We should have seen him in prison for a while serving his prison time. Like Jean Valjean style. Yeah. And then this movie more like lame is. We wouldn't be here right now. The appendix come out and then we should have seen him out.

But then that would have ruined the line later, which was, hey, remember when you were in prison and you got your appendix out? Eddie Murphy. Yeah, of course. Guy, well, we made a clone of you. And then Baba. And it would have taken away that monologue that explained all of that. I did that when I auditioned for grad school in acting. I did that monologue. Oh, my God. That's so awesome. Yeah, I didn't get in. You didn't? No. Shocking. No. This really... Let me just... Yeah, yeah, please. So, but we've...

The comparison that we have in the movie itself, in the world of the movie, when someone is cloned, they behave exactly the same way because Jay Moore's wife was cloned and he gets to say which one's which and he says who's care. Right? And then they speak at the same time, they behave, they suck his dick at the same time, right? That's why you clone a wife. Do you think they shot a scene where they sucked his dick at the same time? I think they wanted to. Because I would have watched that over and over again. So...

what is this guy? How is this guy? How is this second Eddie? Absolutely right. Something went wrong in that cloning. Yes, why does he have free will? Now, can I ask this? I really, I don't understand anything about this movie, but were the bad,

clone Eddie Murphy. Yes. Was he currently becoming very popular in the, like building that popular casino while Pluto Nash was doing his own club? And why didn't they know about it? Is Lunar Beach so far away from where Pluto Nash was? Well, Lunar Beach is on the other side of the moon. But don't they

communicate but no one has ever no one's ever seen bad Eddie Murphy they don't know he's just a name but did Eddie Murphy think to himself well that's weird there's another was it called Pluto something no it was a casino and it was all Rex Carver that was the whole big reveal at the end it was like who is Rex Carver and then the chair turns and then it was him it was Eddie Murphy I thought it was gonna be Ileana Douglas I thought it was gonna be Alec Baldwin because they set him up so did I no but you could see that it was a little a little person

And you also thought, Paul, because you said it out loud, that you thought it was going to be Jay Moore. I thought Jay Moore. I thought Jay Moore at a certain point. Did anybody else notice that when Luis Guzman was at the casino and he was supposed to be surrounded by a gorgeous woman, they may have just gone to the city walk and gathered up some women they found and put them in the movie. They could have shot this entire movie in a Bubba Gump shrimp factory. I will...

It looked like they did. It looks like it looks like that. What was that restaurant in Times Square? Like 20,000? Oh, Mars 2012. Mars 2012. If you've ever been to New York, that restaurant has better production value. Yes. But the movie cost $100 million to make. $100 million. And it was made at an opening weekend. $2 million. That's insane.

Do you think Eddie Murphy should have killed himself after? Do you think he demanded twice his fees since he was cloned in the movie? I have to say, I am not. I wonder about that maid. That maid played like 20 different maids. That was the same maid from the hotel. Yeah, it's the same girl. So you think all those models of those robots look exactly alike? But what about Randy Quaid? Why didn't we see more Randy Quaid's? Because he was a 63.

Yeah, because he's an old model. Can I just say, though, I think that regardless of how bad this movie was, I didn't feel like Eddie Murphy was phoning it in. He didn't seem... He was acting. He was acting. No, no, he was acting. But it was not, I will say this, it was not in his wheelhouse. No. We're asking him. Well, I don't know what he was even asking because it's not an action movie. I wanted the laugh. He was doing a lot of naturalistic acting, a lot of lower energy stuff. Yes. Which, I don't know, we're not coming to the, we're not,

paying our tickets to see low energy. Also, this is, if I'm not mistaken, the era of Nutty Professor and his big kind of crazy roles. And I'll tell you what, there are some shots when he just smiles and laughs even a little where I found myself very charming. I agree. I was very with you. And I did really feel, oh, there's a great moment. Only because I was obsessed with the movie as a Star Wars ripoff in a lot of ways, but

That's very kind to this movie. The lunar chase, he's basically Han Solo who's a smuggler, all these kind of things. And then in the first big shootout, she runs in and she screams, it's a trap. Yeah, she does. Which is like a total Star Wars line. Yes.

I was like, I wonder if they're making this, if they're doing this on purpose, just like burying these little Star Wars references. I will say, just to put it in perspective, this is a very sad time in Eddie Murphy's career. This movie came out, these are the movies that came out roughly around Pluto Nash. Dr. Dolittle 2.

Showtime, Eddie Murphy and Robert De Niro. I Spy, Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson. And then it was Haunted Mansion. Oh, no. And then I guess he didn't really get back on track. And then Dreamgirls came out. Was this around the time of his arrest? Yeah.

No. No, that's... Let's get a date on that. I think that's earlier. Could you access the cloud? Yes, I'm going to get on that right now. Access the cloud if you could. Computer, search for Criminal Masterminds Earthlings.

Initials WZW. 97 he was arrested. But it's not that. That's five years. That's not a long time. I don't think he was bringing that baggage in. I did because I felt there was sadness behind his eyes. That's what I saw. You know what? I got to say the first scene, the first scene when his friend, again, did he know Jay Moore before? Yes, they were old friends. They grew up together. Okay, fine.

But that first scene when his best friend's about to get acid poured down his throat. He was just playing it cool. It was so casual. He didn't care. He also did not give a fuck. You know what's interesting? It seemed like that was the game of that scene, though, guys. This is what I felt. Even the gangsters were playing it. Kind of, yeah. Was it? No.

That scene is the best scene in the movie. Everybody's playing it more real. Eddie Murphy's dressed in normal clothing. The minute it goes seven years later, it is as if everybody's in colorful suits. It's like the moon is suddenly Disneyland. I felt like the first scene was like Barry Levinson could have directed it. Yes, he did. Barry did.

They fired him and they brought in Barry Sonnenfeld. Except for the jug of battery acid. Now clearly, we did not love this movie, but there are some people who really did. And now it's time for a second opinion. These are reviews from Amazon.com. People who had a different thought about this film.

If you want to relax and have fun while eating popcorn, then this is the movie for you. Politely disagree. Five stars. No. What?

I love that because that's just about having something to do while you eat popcorn. You don't need an excuse, by the way. You can eat it whenever you want. Nope, this guy thinks it's a... Get a bag of smart food. Eat it whenever you want. If you want to have a while you're eating it, you need to do something. Well, if you want a secondary activity to your main activity, which is shoveling popcorn in your fat fucking face, then you could do worse than look at this moving image. Ha ha ha!

Here's another five-star review from J. Neal Shulman. Pluto Nash just tells a good, solid, well-plotted, near-future science fiction adventure story with a light touch, the sort of story that fans of Heinlein's short stories It's Great to Be Back and The Menace from Earth would appreciate. That's Robert Heinlein. Is that true? Yeah. No. But.

But maybe sci-fi fans, maybe there's something of the serial nature of the song. I don't know. This guy goes, I'm a big fan of Star Wars, Spaceballs, and Titan A.E. And this goes right on the shelf next to those. By the way, that's the perfect order. That's a perfect order in descending order of great movie to dreck.

I love Spaceballs. Spaceballs is number two. Spaceballs is number two. Star Wars, Spaceballs, Titan A.E. Garbage. Terrible garbage. And then Pluto Nash. Those movies are like you don't share anything in comics. It's like, I love Citizen Kane, Flashback,

I love Caddyshack. Sea of Love with Al Pacino. Abduction with Taylor Lautner. And How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. With Kate Hudson. I enjoy them. Great films. Oh my God. No you don't. Nobody enjoys them. Yes we did enjoy that movie. Great chemistry. Yeah they did. Can't be denied. Any final thoughts on this? We have not addressed. Can we just give a shout out to the one man orchestra joke? Oh. That was pretty good. That was a joke. Made me smile.

Can we talk about Randy Quaid as a robot, please? Do we have any clips of Randy Quaid as a robot talking? There are no clips online for me to pull. I'm telling you guys, watch this movie just for the Randy Quaid scenes. He's great. You know what he is like? It's like...

It's like he's a cartoon character in a movie. You know what I mean? He moves. He's a human cartoon character. He moves at crazy angles. He speaks with a modulated robot voice. You know what? I just found a clip. I can maybe play it here. He's bald. He's bald with like Zapper head things in his head. Did they make him taller than he is? How tall is Randy Quaid? Well, everybody knows Randy Quaid is 6'7". Is he?

Well, I think the promising basketball career. That's universally known. He's a tall man, for sure. No, but he looked much, but Eddie Murphy's not a big man. No, no, he's teeny tiny. Yeah, he's a teeny tiny person. I also liked when Luis Guzman said that Pluto Nash was the Tito Puente of rail hopping. Yes. Which is their term for smuggling. Which I was like, why make that reference? That reference is at this point a hundred years old. Again, they watch Jimmy. Yeah, they're not bad.

They were watching that Humphrey Bogart. Oh, that was a nice cut from when that guy got shot and fell down to the Humphrey Bogart movie where the same was happening. No, it's... Wait, is that Public Enemy? Is that James Cagney, Public Enemy? Yeah, that was Public Enemy. I think that was Public Enemy. It probably cost a lot to get that clip.

That's why they didn't have the money. That was $100 million. All the money paying Eddie Murphy twice. Yeah. And on that clip of James Cagney. Would you guys recommend people watching this movie? I don't think I would. No. I don't think so. It's not even fun. It's not fun. It's not fun. It felt like homework. Yeah. Well, here's the thing. I was like, I gotta get through this. I felt bad for you guys watching. At a certain point, I was like, fuck, this is...

How much do I have left? And I'd only been watching 24 minutes. Yeah. And I almost burst into tears. Yeah. Because there is no joke. Your life is precious. Do you know what I mean? Your moments. My time is worth more than this. Like sans in an hourglass. Those are the days of our lives. Don't waste it watching. And it's only an hour and 34 minutes. It is not a long movie. It feels long. I watch it in two installments. You know what? Me too. It should have been a TV series.

Yeah. Well, clearly they primed it for, I mean, there are more adventures out there. We just saw one. We did the work for you on this one. Do not watch this movie. I don't know. Or watch like 10 minutes just to be like, oh, that's why this is so bad. But don't watch, well, you could watch the beginning since that's the best scene. I, yeah. Well, that's not the best scene as much as it is just like the scene that seems most, like most, uh,

I don't know. That's where you'll also be the most confused because you're going to say, is this a drama? Is this a comedy? And one last thing, Paul. When Eddie Murphy gets all the fixings for a martini when Terry Dawson brings it up and he doesn't make a martini in the glass. He just drinks the vodka. He makes it in his mouth. Was that a joke?

Well, he didn't chew the olive. Also, he swallowed that thing whole. I have a question. There were 40 olives in that jar. So they get to the hotel. They get to Lunar Beach.

They check into the hotel and the guy's like, and they get tickets to see Jay Moore perform. Then they get recognized. Yes. Then no, no, not yet. First, first the guy's like, well, it's black ties, but we have rentals available. Right? So then it cut to them and they're in black tie attire, which I assume means they rented it. I assume they rented this stuff. Wow. And then when Eddie Murphy gets brought up to see Rex Gardner, whatever his name is. Rex Gardner. Rex Carter. Carter. Rex Carter. Carter.

John Carter. John Carver from Mars. When Eddie Murphy gets brought up, he and Rex are wearing identical clothes. Yes. And why is that? So do we presume that the guy who's the criminal mastermind rented his tux as well? No, he makes everybody... He goes, well, look, I'm going to wear this...

the same tux every day. And they're like, oh, well, let's, you know, I think he's like... How do they wind up in the same clothes? To me, it's a Steve Harvey... Because they have to. They also make a reference, though, to the fact that he can afford to get his own tux. He doesn't have to rent it, right? To me, I saw him like the Steve Harvey of the moon. I saw him as like, he has a line of tuxes and he's like, you're going to rent these tuxes. He knows what's going to happen because he has access to everything in Eddie Murphy's brain. So he could have cloned. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

No, no, no. He doesn't know the future. Nobody said. He said he has access. He can remember. He remembers. Yes, but he can remember. Only from before appendix surgery? Guys, guys. There is no reason why they are in, other than they need it for, shoot him. No, shoot him. No, shoot him. There's no reason. The classic vaudeville routine. You guys, you don't think that Rex Carter had a gazillion cameras in that hotel and knew that Eddie Murphy-

real good Eddie Murphy Pluder Dash was heading up that way and had rented a tux and was like quick get me that tux for dramatic effect get me that tux get me that tux in case we get in a scenario where a gun is loose and both of us are standing there and we need to do one of those classic shoot him no shoot him's like who who

Who? How? Wait, what? No, they just... It's never going to make any sense. It's everything about this movie. If it's not lazy, it's so... It's offensive on so many levels. It's misogynistic. The guns look like super soakers. Why? And the guns are like, pew, pew, pew.

I've read short stories by second graders that make more linear sense in this movie. So do not go see this movie. Ever. But do tune in to Best Friends Forever, which is Wednesday nights, 830, 730 Central. It takes place on the moon, ironically enough. Really? You have two best friends who live on the moon. It's more of the adventures of Pluto Nash, right? You guys are trying to open up a club. The further adventures of Pluto Nash.

It's called Best Friends Forever in Poland. Pluto Nash and Bruno. Yeah, and London and I got zoot suits made to fit us like a glove. Is there a riot? Like a second skin. Is there a riot in any of the episodes? I know that you finish your first season, but I would like to ask that if you do a second season, you should have a club owner come in, Pluto Nash come in. I love it. Do you have a local bar that you go to in the show? Yeah, of course. What's it called? It's going to be called Club Pluto. Please. Yeah, we're going to do that.

You're going to want to ADR that. You're going to want to ADR that in. Also, I do love that his name is Pluto and they're on the moon. But everybody else's names are like Dina and Tony. What if they're born on the moon, right? Eddie Murphy? No, but they talk about how they want to go back to Earth. It seems like it would be easy to go back. I think he was born on... He grew up on the moon. He grew up on the moon. Remember, he shows her the stars through the car window and he's like, when I was a kid, I used to come out here and look at the stars and try to count them. And then when he went to Earth, all he wanted to do was get back to the moon. But then he hates not being...

He hates being on the moon because he can't see the moon from the ground. Where did they get their vitamin D is what I want to know. Oh, you know what we didn't talk about? Two weeks. Two weeks of darkness, two weeks of light. You know what we didn't talk about at all? Is that right? Yes. That's what he said. Night lasts for two weeks. We were just in the darkness part. Oh, man. Guys, can we talk about the varying degrees of gravity that affected them throughout the movie? Oh. Oh, yes.

I have my favorite. She goes out of the bathroom and then she just like floats back down to the ground. The laws of physics do not apply to me. Sometimes they can just walk around outside, but sometimes they float away. Sometimes things they throw just float around and sometimes they can throw them at each other. It was like, I was like, is there gravity here? What is happening? My favorite part is Rosario Dawson puts on the space suit. She puts it on and goes, and she just jumps up. That was fun. That's the extent of her exploring life.

Weightlessness. $100 million and there were no more zero gravity scenes. No, there was. There was the big shootout zero gravity scene. By the way, every gun in this movie, whenever they shoot it, an explosion happens. Yes. Nothing, no bullets. It's just like... And they all sound like... They all look like regular guns from now, but they go pew. Yeah. Pew. The laser sound is so amazingly terrible. I actually...

actually thought to myself that perhaps Pluto Nash was bought the idea just from the description of and we're going to have a fight scene in anti-gravity you know that that could be enough for somebody to say yes that's how Inception got made

I think it was based on that last scene. On the last scene? Murph's on Murph's. Murph's on Murph's, actually. Oh, yes. That's why he signed on to do it. Yeah. We're never going to make sense of it until we get the right one. This is going to be the longest podcast ever just because we're so confused. Please, if you are involved in this movie, come on. Let's make some sense. We should try and get Victor Bernardo to call in. Victor would talk about it. Victor has had some funny stories about it. I wonder if he'll now talk about it 12 years later. Yeah.

Also, your show is available. You can watch it immediately online. So whenever you're listening to this, if it's not Wednesday, but you're not setting your DVRs, you can watch the whole pilot episode. Get a bag of popcorn. You know what I mean? You're going to have to watch something. Does it make eating popcorn fun? It does. It does. It's usually such a chore. I never know where to put my eyes when I'm eating popcorn. Is there nudity in your show? Yes. Male nudity. Really? Male nudity. And then a hot.

scene between Lennon and I where I pull her on top of me in a bathtub and she almost drowned me. It's episode two. In episode two. Watch the show. I am most excited to see this show out of any show that's coming out. See, that's how I feel about Betty White's Granny Wars. What are you just going to call Granny's Gone Wild? Granny Wars. By the way, I'm pitching a show called Granny Wars. As always, you can follow myself at Paul Scheer on Twitter.
