EP. 340 — Fifty Shades Darker LIVE! (w/ Joel Kim Booster)

Paul Scheer [00:00:00] Grab a pint of Ben and Jerry’s vanilla. Put on your masquerade mask and pop in some Kegel balls. Because marriage is in the air. We saw 50 Shades Darker, so you know what that means!

 

Music [00:00:20] [Intro Song]

 

Paul Scheer [00:01:06] Hello, people of Earth! And hello people of Los Angeles! We are live at Largo for the second part of the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy. That’s right, 50 Shades Darker. Wow. Oh, wow. If you thought nothing happened in the first movie. Get ready. Because somehow even less happens in this movie. It starts off with Anastasia longing or missing or broken up from Christian, and then immediately they’re back together. And then all the S&M stuff that kind of goes by the wayside, and it just becomes like a straight up romance movie with a little kinky shit in it. And it ends with a proposal. Two? Three, maybe, proposals? And finally, a twist that makes no fucking sense. But we need that twist because we have to get to the final chapter. We’re going to break it all down tonight. Every bit of this movie, all two hours and 11 minutes of it, depending whether or not, if you watch the unrated cut, which I did. Because I like understanding the publishing industry. That’s all the extra scenes are just in the world of publishing more meetings. Here to break down tonight’s episode is my co-host. Please welcome to the stage, Mr. Jason Mantzoukas!

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:03:04] What’s up jerks?! Let’s go, Largo. We’re here for The Empire Strikes Back of the 50 Shades of Grey series. Cut Christian open. Put Anastasia in his belly.

 

Paul Scheer [00:03:24] Now, last night we both made some predictions about where we thought the second film was going. I would say we’re kind of right and kind of wrong.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:03:36] Kind of right, kind of wrong. There was I did not expect at all that there would be gunplay.

 

Paul Scheer [00:03:43] I didn’t expect there’d be a helicopter accident.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:03:47] When at what point in the second movie do you introduce three villains? Movie one, the only villain, Christian Grey. Movie two, three new villains? Okay, movies.

 

Paul Scheer [00:04:01] This is like when Joel. Schumacher took over Batman. Enough. There’s too many villains here.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:04:05] Too many villains, too many nipples. Just like this movie, so many nipples. I would love it if she was like, are those burns? And he was like, they’re all nipples!

 

Paul Scheer [00:04:18] By the way, Joel Schumacher would have been a great choice to direct this film.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:04:22] I would have been into this movie if it was Joel. Imagine these movies done by Joel Schumacher or Adrian Line.

 

Paul Scheer [00:04:29] Oh, well, that then they’re very different.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:04:32] They’re actually horny. And I’m not like during the sex scenes, actively folding laundry. I wrote it in my notes, I was like, there’s tits on screen and I’m folding towels when something’s wrong.

 

Paul Scheer [00:04:48] I felt the same way when when a sex scene came on, I was like, time to get a snack. Yeah. Like it was like it was like a commercial break. I was like, eh.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:04:58] I’ve never in my life been less interested in sex scenes.

 

Paul Scheer [00:05:03] It’s so like, I don’t know, it’s like I was like. Well, we’ll get it. We’ll break it all down.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:10] Will we?

 

Paul Scheer [00:05:11] I hope and I hope by the end of this episode, we get some justice for Ros. We introduced Ros, and Ros. It’s like, the fuck is Ros? You can’t talk about Ros like, Ros is a character that. we know.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:27] Who, I mean, at what point are they like we’re going to introduce 30 new characters in this movie. You gotta follow all of them.

 

Paul Scheer [00:05:34] My favorite thing was that they introduce the sister who’s changed her hair color, but she’s wearing a mask. Like, oh, you look different, but you’re in a mask in it. And then she drops like five minutes of exposition and then walks off camera. It’s like even the people we know, it’s confusing to remeet them. It was.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:52] And I’m not sure the Jack we meet at the beginning of the episode is the Jack at the end of the movie, the Jack at the end of the movie. I don’t know who this guy is. He’s got a smoky eye. I’m like, what is happening?

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:04] I am confused.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:05] Let’s do it. Let’s fucking do it.

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:08] Luckily tonight we have a How Did This Get Made all star joining us to break down this film. He has joined us once before in a movie that was also kind of sexy with David Duchovny.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:22] The Secret?

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:23] Yes.

 

Audience [00:06:23] [Actively Groans] Oh no.

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:27] We’re not bring out that movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:29] Oh, no.

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:30] Oh, no, oh, no, the movie isn’t here.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:34] The guest is the movie, The Secret, which we also will watch again.

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:40] Oh no.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:43] I feel like everybody in the audience just sympathetically shared my experience with the catalog of our movies, which is why have I watched all of these? Just reminded of the nightmare that is this podcast.

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:57] Our guest tonight is the writer and star of the hit film Fire Island. He is now currently on Chrissy and Dave’s Dine Out. Please welcome Joe Kim Booster!

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:07:16] Oh my goodness. Hello you guys.

 

Paul Scheer [00:07:21] Wow wow wow. You got it. You got an almost standing ovation.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:07:25] I know. I was a little nervous when everyone you said and everyone was like, oh, no.

 

Paul Scheer [00:07:32] I got nervous too. I was like, no, this is going to be a good. Yeah.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:07:35] And yet another episode without June, the way I almost turned the car around.

 

Paul Scheer [00:07:41] I told him on the way here is like. And I do have some bad news. June is not going to be here again. After assuring you that she would be.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:07:47] Yeah. And you don’t. I know she’ll never listen to this, but she is, and I. And I’m not exaggerating. She is one of the reasons I started doing comedy.

 

Paul Scheer [00:07:56] Really?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:07:57] And so I cannot wait to meet her. You don’t understand. I was so nervous about meeting June tonight that my boyfriend got stressed out about what he was going to wear. Cause he was like, well, I’m going to meet June tonight. So that’s where I’m at. But it’s okay. It’s okay, it’s fine, it’s fine.

 

Paul Scheer [00:08:23] Well, I will tell you. There is nothing sweeter than watching June just sick trying to muscle through this movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:32] Oh, she watched it?

 

Paul Scheer [00:08:34] She I watched it. She’s, like coughing. And then, like writing, “You like work.” That’s all I saw. That’s all I saw. I was like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:43] Do you think. Do you think the movies made her sick?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:08:47] That’s what I was going to say.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:48] I do feel like there’s something about these films that is contagious.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:08:53] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:08:53] People are getting a fever. A 50 Shades fever. All right, so we last night spoke about our connection to this movie, which was we didn’t have we understood culturally where it was. We didn’t see it before. Did you? Where did you come into on the 50 Shades scale? Like where do you.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:09:08] Either the books, the Twilight fan fiction that it began as or the movies?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:09:13] So this is crazy. I actually, I have never seen any of the other 50 shades movies. I’ve seen this one three times now. I saw it as a joke when it was in theaters that it turns out it was a joke. I played on myself. And then I watched it on the plane flying back from New York today. And then I decided to watch it a third time with my boyfriend, today. So, we’ve since broken up.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:09:38] Twice in 24 hours? You’ve watched it twice in 24 hours?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:09:42] My brain is mush. It is, it did not make any more sense. And it makes actually less sense the more you watch it.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:09:51] I feel dumber.

 

Paul Scheer [00:09:52] Yeah. It’s a weird movie because you’re like, wow, I just spent two hours. But what happened?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:09:58] This movie isn’t interested in explaining anything that happens. As we find out when he, Christian Grey and Ros are in a helicopter crash and never explain to anyone how they got away alive.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:10:11] Performance of a lifetime from Ros, who says no less than five times while the helicopter is going down. What’s going on, Christian? What’s going on? And it’s like, bitch, look around. You’re you’re down.

 

Paul Scheer [00:10:25] If and if you are that confused, then you are not taking helicopter flying seriously. If I’m in a helicopter, I’m assuming I might die. Like, that’s the choice I’ve made. Like, I might die here. This is it.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:10:36] I got to say too. There’s something really, despicable about the fact that this takes place in the Pacific Northwest. That that, like, the helicopter goes down in Portland, and then he walks in the door in Vancouver seconds later.

 

Paul Scheer [00:10:51] The way that he walks in is. I mean, there’s a lot of shit that makes no sense. But the way he walks and so angry, like, yeah, what? What? Yeah. My helicopter crashed. Why are you all here?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:03] Why are you crying? Why are you upset? Get out of here. Leave.

 

Paul Scheer [00:11:07] Yeah, it’s my birthday. Whatever. Go.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:13] He has the attitude of someone who was like, oh, actually, I wasn’t in the helicopter. The news is mistaken. I’ve been at the gym. So why are you guys. You don’t need to be this upset. No.

 

Paul Scheer [00:11:25] I lost my phone in the helicopter crash.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:27] And then the helicopter crashes, and he and Ros are both 100% fine.

 

Paul Scheer [00:11:33] Yeah, it seems like they crashed and he was like, hey, I’m late for my birthday dinner. Can I just hitch a ride with you? Like, oh, yeah.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:11:38] He called the Uber from the crash site.

 

Paul Scheer [00:11:39] Yeah. They let him home. He didn’t even go to hospital to get checked out.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:43] What’s his driver’s name? Taylor? Tyler? Yeah, he’s there at the crash site. Mr. Grey?

 

Paul Scheer [00:11:49] Taylor. Taylor I’m going down. Taylor. What is going on? Shut up. Pick me up in the middle of the woods. I’m going down.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:54] Taylor, I need you to pick me up in the middle of the woods and give me. Give me a carefully wrapped box of Apple products that are already set up for me.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:12:02] I kept I kept getting confused because he kept, like, texting or saying, hey, I’m here with Taylor, or Taylor and I are downstairs, or Taylor and I are going to dinner. And I was like, is that the sister? Like, why? Why? He’s so close to Taylor.

 

Paul Scheer [00:12:14] Taylor Taylor is his body man. But Taylor is a little sidelined in this movie. It seems like Taylor was sent to go kick the shit out of the editor. To work like that was. That was some new information. He was like go beat the shit out of that guy. That guy’s getting punched in the face, like, why are you doing this? Well, you upset my boss. What I will say about this, which I loved, is the opening sequence where we’re getting a shoeless, rural southern. Like, this is his life, like. And he’s in this, like, like very, like, log cabin with an abusive dad.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:12:53] His trauma flashback.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:12:54] It’s a Dolly Parton music video at the beginning. It’s what it is.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:12:57] Except that that would be harsher. The stepdad is saying, you silly fucking twit. What? Twit? Come on.

 

Paul Scheer [00:13:10] And that’s all we get. You think like, oh, maybe that’s going to be. We’re going to get more. No, that that’s all we need is that little sliver of him hiding under a bed. And then it’s like. And we got. We got it. We got.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:13:22] Now you get it.

 

Paul Scheer [00:13:23] I think they’re trying to soften the edges, though.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:13:25] Oh, I feel like this movie and I know it is like based on Twilight fanfiction, but so much of it is Mormon coded. It really is. And I feel like this whole movie is just a series of vignettes between sex scenes that are like Mormon lady dream, like wish fulfillment, basically. Like, this is a everything happens exactly like it’s exactly as sexy as, like, the dirtiest Mormon lady you know, could conjure.

 

Paul Scheer [00:13:51] Well, that’s it. It’s like it’s like the most deviant.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:13:55] And everybody think of the dirty is Mormon lady, you know, picture it in your head. Ooh. She’s drinking a Coke.

 

Paul Scheer [00:14:08] Like when I like when I was a kid. Like there was. You heard these stories of what like different sex acts were. And they primarily only had, like, you know, just very vanilla sex. Like, I’ve heard some dirty stuff. And, like, if it’s kind of wrong in the translation like that. What? The way I heard what a blowjob was when I was a kid was.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:28] Is this in the book?

 

Paul Scheer [00:14:30] And this is in the book oddly, is that you. Or maybe it isn’t, I don’t remember. You have to bring some ice with you. Put ice in your mouth, you get it real cold. And then you also have a hairdryer. And then you put. You put your mouth like. You take the ice out. Now your mouth is cold, and then you, like, blow on the dick. And then you take the hairdryer, make it hot and you’re kind of like doing like an icy hot thing. Like that’s how I heard what a blowjob was.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:15:00] But like, temperatures, not even a remote part of it.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:15:03] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:15:05] But I’m learning this in, like, you know, fifth grade. I’m. My God, that blowjob need you need the hairdryer, you need ice.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:15:11] Wow.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:15:11] It’s interesting because it’s interesting you were learning so much about the giving of a blowjob as a child. It was like that. Just something a lady would bring to this table.

 

Paul Scheer [00:15:25] I know. Yeah. This is a bunch of guys sitting around talking about what you need, and I didn’t even think about it in that way. Yeah, I got to say.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:15:33] Mom, I got a big date tonight. Can I borrow your hairdryer?

 

Paul Scheer [00:15:39] Well, I think I got in trouble with my mom because I said like, oh, what are you going to use the hairdryer on him? My mom was like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:15:45] You said that to your mom?

 

Paul Scheer [00:15:48] Yeah, I don’t know. Yeah. I didn;t have any brothers and sisters.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:15:51] Who’s your mom blowing? What’s happening?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:15:56] But no, you’re. You’re completely right about the sex in this movie, and I. And I’m going to say this and I, I might be able to explain it by the time the episode is done. But watching this movie and specifically watching the sex in this movie, all I kept thinking is like, oh God, like straight people have to do all that just to be gay, you know? Like, it’s just like the whole time I kept watching, I was like, just be gay. You want to be a freak? Like, I don’t know, it’s just.

 

Paul Scheer [00:16:22] That. It’s like. And so much so that this movie, like, takes back the premise of the first movie. The first movie is, like, Christian Grey. He’s dominant and he’s going to fuck her. He’s a fucking. He fucks hard. He doesn’t sleep in the same bed. And everything about these movies is like just making him into a boyfriend. Like in this movie, he’s just a straight up boyfriend who, like, maybe has a, like handcuffs. Like, he just loves going down on women.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:16:48] For two full movies, we are like, is she going to want to go to the Red room? Is she going to want to go to the Red room? And then finally she’s like, take me to the Red room at the end of this movie. Take me to the red room. They go in, he puts cuffs on her for like, 10s. And then they’re just having, like, passionate lovemaking. Yeah. Which he has explicitly said is not what the room is for. So I’m like, what the is this? Is this just a room for set dec?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:17:12] I didn’t realize that they hadn’t gone to the room yet. The movie makes no indication that it is a special thing at all.

 

Paul Scheer [00:17:18] Well, the the the first movie ends in the cliffhanger that he brings her into the room and then, and uses like a writing prop on her and whips her in the butt. And, she is upset about that because he’s taking a pleasure in her pain, which seems like that’s what we were to understand. The whole thing was, and then she’s like, I’m out of here. And then this movie seems to pick up two days later. And. And they’re back. They’re back.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:17:47] How long is it between movies? Do we know? Because I. I ask that too, because I was like, they’re acting like it was three nights ago, but then also feeling like, was it six months ago?

 

Paul Scheer [00:17:56] I don’t know, but either way. It’s like he sends her flowers. He’s like, good luck on your new job. So he’s still stalking her. Like, he knows that she’s getting a job. She goes to throw it out. And I was so happy she didn’t try to cram all those flowers.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:18:09] Yeah. I was like, at least save the vase.

 

Paul Scheer [00:18:13] Yeah. But. And then she gets her job in. This is 2017. She gets a job in a place where I’ve seen more paper products, than ever. Like, there’s. The one of the one of the assistants there is next to, like, a Gutenberg press. It’s like, why do they have so much paper in this publishing industry? Like, they’re not like, this isn’t this is not the past.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:18:38] Well, and when she later on, when she takes over for the boss and the the other boss lady is like, you have to go to the meeting, she hands her a stack of manuscripts. And so what is she doing at the meeting? Yeah, that she needs all the manuscripts?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:18:52] That woman is from H.R. Yeah. Her job doesn’t interact at all with the content of the manuscript. She’s like, well, then you’re in charge now. The guy I really could talk about. Jake. Jake, right?

 

Paul Scheer [00:19:10] Yeah.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:19:10] Jack.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:12] Jack. Right?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:19:13] The boss.

 

Paul Scheer [00:19:14] Boss.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:19:14] Well, wait, we have to shout out that my boyfriend pointed this out. His name is Jack Hyde.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:19] Yeah, I saw that, too. Like Jekyll and Hyde. Yes.

 

Paul Scheer [00:19:22] Oh, I like that. Yeah. And that fits perfectly with the amount of cleverness in these books.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:29] I would, I would think that was clever if he had a kind side and then a mean side. But from the jump, he’s a piece of shit. And I’m like Anastasia Steele is like, just attracting the worst most toxic people.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:19:49] He does get her coffee. Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:19:52] I like that. I like, I like. Oh, but then I thought we were gonna get, like a little secretary action.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:56] Like the movie. The movie. Secretary?

 

Paul Scheer [00:19:58] This will be fun. Like she’s gonna have that relationship here. Nope. Like, nothing.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:20:03] An actual sexy movie.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:20:04] Well, to defend Jack Hyde a little bit.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:20:07] Okay. A Jack Hyde apologist?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:20:09] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:20:11] And I believe he’s a doctor of literature, so it’s Dr. Jack Hyde.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:20:17] Doctor Jack. I’m sorry, but, like, he did have a point. She should have gone to New York. Yeah. I’m sorry. That’s your job.

 

Paul Scheer [00:20:26] And by the way, this movie is all about, like, I don’t want to be controlled, but then he invites her out for a drink, and, like, and Christian comes and is like go. Let’s go. And they leave. And it’s not even like that weird and it’s like, no, that’s bad etiquette. Like she’s bad for leaving. He’s bad for taking her. Like he should be pissed at that.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:20:46] And it is the movie like is unwilling to be complicated at all. Like, this is why it’s like Mormon lady wish fulfillment. Because like, yes, you need to. Do your job and go to New York. But then the movie immediately is like, well, actually, he’s a rapist, though, so.

 

Paul Scheer [00:21:01] Right. If you went you would have been raped.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:21:02] So thank God, it’s like, God, you listened to Christian and didn’t go.

 

Paul Scheer [00:21:07] I was protecting you.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:21:08] I really I mean, I also want to talk about Jose’s art photo exhibit.

 

Paul Scheer [00:21:15] So, Jose.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:21:18] On every level, I want to talk about it on every level.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:21:22] This year’s portrait studio that he does?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:21:24] Didn’t know that there was going to be. The movie’s got it every way. She wants to be like a demure virgin, but like almost Mormon as person, but also a model. Like in like all of these pictures and also like the movie is trying to have all of the pieces in place and then none of it makes sense.

 

Paul Scheer [00:21:43] Well, it’s so interesting because, you know, his photo exhibit seems like arty photos. And then you’re right, the Sears Portraits Center. Yeah, that are like headshot outtakes. It’s like, I don’t know, I don’t want that one. I don’t want that one. And and they’re giant. And she’s like, I didn’t know you took these. Like, you didn’t? Because you’re fucking posing for headshots. Like, there’s no way that those were stealthily taken. Like, that’s a lit environment. Like biting my sweater. Covering my arm. Like the only thing I didn’t see in her that she’s like, you know, wearing, like, a contractor jacket. Like, I could be a construction worker. I could be a bartender. I’m a sailor. You know, it’s like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:22:26] Like a composite?

 

Paul Scheer [00:22:27] Yeah, like. But she was like, Oh, I didn’t know these are going to be here. Well, what did you think was happening?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:22:34] Yeah.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:22:35] Well. And then when she was like, who bought them? And it’s like, I don’t know who bought the six, like, portraits of you? The guy who’s stalking you.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:22:42] Who then comes, takes her to dinner and orders her a steak.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:22:46] Steak with fries. Steak with fries.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:22:48] What the  fuck? A: Don’t order for someone. And then don’t just give them a steak. Two steaks with fries.

 

Paul Scheer [00:22:56] I also was thinking about them fucking on that, like.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:22:58] That’s the thing. That’s the thing is, like she said, no sex, no sex. And a steak with fries is a no sex meal, you know? Yeah, she’s sending mixed signals because then she gets a quinoa salad. That’s fucking food if I ever heard that.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:10] Oh, yeah. Oh that’s messaging. Yeah. She says that’s a, that’s a choice. That’s like I’m open for biz.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:23:16] Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:17] The both of them. Both of them. And this was true in the previous movie, but even more so here. Both of them are sending mixed signals in every conversation they have with each other. Yeah, they’re saying one thing doing the opposite. Constantly flip, flip, flip, flip. And it’s absolutely insane and makes the movie impossible to follow because none of it adds up to any. I don’t know what anybody wants. And why they say they want.

 

Paul Scheer [00:23:41] I wrote down this thing. I was like, what is he getting from her? Like, he’s like, oh, I can’t get you out of my mind. You obsessed me. I’m like, why? Yeah, she’s not funny. I make them laugh to do anything. Does he have any interesting opinions about anything?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:59] Both of them are boring.

 

Paul Scheer [00:23:59] Boring!

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:23:59] She keeps trying to touch him in the red zone.

 

Paul Scheer [00:24:01] Yeah, okay, that that was new information that I couldn’t unpack.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:24:08] I didn’t understand it. And then 40 minutes after she draws the red zone, he takes his shirt off and it’s still there.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:24:15] I was like, what? What the what was this drawn with?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:24:20] I want to see that housekeeper clean, doing the laundry in the next day and being like, what the fuck is going on inside this shirt?

 

Paul Scheer [00:24:25] Like every shirt. This now, but like, so he can’t be. He can’t be touched. Like, just slightly like the torso. Like. But it’s like it’s weird. It’s like the hardest place not to touch a human. It’s like, don’t touch here. And she’s only like, they’re taking a shower and she’s managing not to touch there, which I was impressed. That’s probably the most impressive thing the movie does.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:24:50] She like when she washes it off. She’s fully in the red zone.

 

Paul Scheer [00:24:54] Yeah. Why the red zone? Why don’t you.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:24:59] To answer your question, Paul, I think what you were asking is, what does he see in her? Yeah, it’s his mother. That question is answered in the text of the movie, which is he sees in all of these women that he’s been involved with, his mother, that he is acting out some sort of something with. Right?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:25:22] It is crazy. I know that, like, this would sort of ruin the movie. Like there wouldn’t be three movies, three books if this were the case. But the fact that therapy is never brought up one time, like, not once does Anastasia Steele say, I get that. I mean, it’s hot to me, but also let’s get like called BetterHelp or something.

 

Paul Scheer [00:25:44] It’s easy. If you don’t like your therapist, you can change it.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:25:48] Promo code bonkers.

 

Paul Scheer [00:25:51] I have talked to BetterHelp about that. I’m like, you realize that you’re giving the promo code bonkers to a mental health hotline? They’re like, we’re fine with it. I’m like, okay. Far be it from me to critique your promo code, but it seems slightly problematic. You know, it is. It’s like it is odd. It’s like. Because then we reveal and again, you probably have putting this stuff together, but if you haven’t, I’ll just show you something that we know that you know, Kim Basinger, which is a surprise. I was like, ooh yeah, I said, Kim Cattrall love, I was close.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:26:35] I said, Melanie Griffith.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:26:36] That’s who I thought it was too.

 

Paul Scheer [00:26:37] And I thought Kim Basinger was great, but she got a great look and I was like, I wanted her to do more, but she’s his dom. And I don’t quite understand their relationship.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:26:50] This is the thing about the movie too. There are, like, three interesting movies that it almost becomes in the movie, and that is one of the interesting movies where it’s like, she’s the final boss. You thought he was a Dom. Well, get ready for this bitch. And then, like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:27:06] And how bad did you want her to tell him to kneel?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:27:09] Yes!

 

Paul Scheer [00:27:10] Yes!

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:27:10] When she was upset. The way that he did to the woman who had the gun. You know, like I at the end, when they’re having their confrontation with, Kim Basinger. I wanted her to say to him, Kneel. And for him to just immediately do it.

 

Paul Scheer [00:27:23] I would love that. But instead, like Marcia Gay Harden seems like she’s in on it, too. She to get the fuck out of my house. And I’m like, first of all, I’m confused about Marcia Gay Harden because she seems like a great stepmom. Like she actually I’m like the first one. I’m like, oh, she’s. What?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:27:39] Adopted mom.

 

Paul Scheer [00:27:40] Oh, right. I’m sorry. But I’m like, when we first meet her in episode one, I’m like, okay, I don’t trust her. Now, I’m like, I think she’s pretty great. I think he’s coming from a pretty healthy family. Yeah, like, which is odd because we’re constantly told that he’s all fucked up. But then when Marcia Gay Harden’s like get the fuck out of here, she’s revealing to me that she knows that Kim Basinger raped him, right?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:02] No, she has she’s overheard. Paul, you’re wrong. I believe she has just overheard him say to Kim, okay, you taught me how to fuck. She taught me, meaning Anastasia, how to love.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:28:17] Well, and now I’m really concerned.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:19] Which is a tattoo I have.

 

Paul Scheer [00:28:21] It’s way too big and that. And you’re not supposed to be touching that area.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:28:27] This this must have been from the book, but like, oh, I’m really concerned about the business they apparently shared. He drops at one point. He’s like, she’s my business partner and she owns the salon. Like does he own a Drybar like, what is it like?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:43] Yes, that must be what it is.

 

Paul Scheer [00:28:44] He owns. This man owns anything. He’s like, I bought the publication company. I bought the publishing house. I’m like, he’s. He’s buying. Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:53] If anything, too diversify. The the best is when they cut into when he’s having the passive aggressive text conversation with Anastasia and he’s in a business meeting. If you just listen to the business that is being talked about while he’s. The the jargon doesn’t add up to anything at all. It’s kind of like a third quarter earnings are off on environmental statistics. It’s like that are pushing into you know.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:29:25] She literally says like something about like quantum physics at one point and energy. And it’s like, do you work for Stark Industries?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:29:33] But also own a publishing company and a salon? I mean, it really like this company does everything. And also he does not a goddamn thing.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:29:45] And it’s all run from the Pacific Northwest.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:29:49] The hub. The hub of big business. But it’s not tech.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:29:52] No, it’s fucking Vancouver. ‘s a.

 

Paul Scheer [00:29:57] Now here’s a question. We’re going to get into at one point, and I don’t if anyone has any examples, I don’t want to get too gross about it. But you know, obviously we got to get back to the sex stuff. Because, you know, that’s what this movie’s about. For a long time, we’re like, oh, is this going to be a movie where it’s like sexy time? The and the. Not until he introduces these, like, these, vaginal beads or whatever Ben Ball or whatever they are, have Kegel beads, whatever. They don’t really name them. I had to go looking online to find the exact name.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:30:27] Why go looking? All you have to do is say, like, two. What’s it called? Kegel balls?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:30:33] Okay you bunch of fucking freaks.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:30:35] 15 horny Mormons in the audience said.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:30:38] They got them in right now.

 

Paul Scheer [00:30:40] I watched a lot of, there’s a lot of, like, videos online of people going, I tried the balls from 50 Shades Darker and this is what I found. And honestly, everyone thumbs up. Everyone is like they’re all in.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:30:52] Are they’re 50 Shades Darker branded Kegel balls. What a great giveaway that would have been.

 

Paul Scheer [00:30:59] The balls in the movie are a brand that.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:01] If you went to the theater in the popcorn.

 

Paul Scheer [00:31:10] First you have to get them salty. But.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:18] I love that you went the salt, not butter. Yeah. This is a real about-face from Last Tango in Paris.

 

Paul Scheer [00:31:25] But it was. It was odd to me. I like that that this movie finally introduces some humor. Because she goes. He goes I want you to wear these, and she’s like, in my butt? And it’s like, all right. Yeah, it was a little.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:31:38] It was a little the lady doth protest too much, I think. And then she was like, no, I won’t stick that in my butt. Oh, you mean you don’t want it in my butt? Okay.

 

Paul Scheer [00:31:47] I’m. And I guess I know. I know the answer to this. Like you, I don’t want to see it, but it seemed like it went in so quickly. It was like, bend over. Okay. So. And I was like, didn’t seem like those just fly in.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:02] You want it. You wanted a foley artist to be like.

 

Paul Scheer [00:32:11] “First one’s in. First one is in.”

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:13] I think I just audibly heard her vagina swallow those beads.

 

Paul Scheer [00:32:18] Well, it made me have questions because I was like, how did they go in so quickly? It just seemed like it was like, whoosh! Like she was like a jet engine or something.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:32:27] So this is a thing like I was also similarly confused, but I was like chalking that up to my ignorance about female anatomy. But it feels like you should know.

 

Paul Scheer [00:32:39] I just think I just think that it’s. It seemed well, to the audience.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:47] Anybody want to weigh in? Anybody want?

 

Audience [00:32:50] No. No.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:51] Oh, no. No.

 

Paul Scheer [00:32:53] Wow. Yeah.

 

Audience [00:32:55] A tampon.

 

Paul Scheer [00:32:55] Oh, okay. It’s like a tampon.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:57] These pussies are gobbling these balls up.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:33:02] Glug glug glug glug glug.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:08] Half this audience has balls in right now.

 

Paul Scheer [00:33:11] By the way, that’s the t shirt. Like a vagina pac-Man chasing, like those those balls.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:20] This is the thing people don’t buy. More sexual stuff. The themed stuff. Because I was going to say we should put out How Did This Get Made branded Kegel balls. But you assholes wouldn’t buy them.

 

Paul Scheer [00:33:33] Oh my gosh. I mean.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:36] I’ve got them in right now.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:33:37] That sounds like. I’m sorry, but, How Did This Get Made kegel balls sounds like a recipe for toxic shock syndrome. For I have ever heard.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:45] Absolutely. Well, our fans, it’s going to go bad.

 

Paul Scheer [00:33:48] So this movie is really like a led by the masquerade ball. We’re going to the masquerade ball, which I’m hoping is going to be sexy. I’m like waiting for like, an Eyes Wide shut thing. No, it’s like a boring ass. Like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:02] Like it’s an auction.

 

Paul Scheer [00:34:02] An auction.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:03] Charity auction.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:34:07] The scariest mask is Kim Basinger’s mask. Did you when she, like, forgets that she’s not wearing. And she’s like, oh, I better put this Pinocchio mask on.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:13] Well, I feel like she’s the only person in the movie that’s at a sexy masquerade ball. She’s the only one that’s the gets it. Everybody else is like, sexy masquerade ball. Just kidding. Charity auction! Huzzah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:34:26] Yeah. There is. There are some odd things about like so. Well, they’re in this, you know, they’re in this auction. They’re, they’re, they’re, they’re doing the stuff. And we get this moment, you know, after he, they, they fuck in his room or whatever. And, this guy on the staircase taking a picture of the family and they’re like, oh, who is that?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:47] But it’s so clear because of his hair.

 

Paul Scheer [00:34:49] Yeah. Okay.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:50] The minute I saw him from the back, I was like, well, here’s Jack at the party. This fucking asshole.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:55] So, Jack, I mean, and this is, I guess the question because Jack seems to not know Christian.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:35:01] But no, this is me either thing. I don’t know why he took the photo of the, the family. Because they’re like a wealthy, famous family. Just Google that.

 

Paul Scheer [00:35:10] Well, in the first movie, it was established. There’s only three pictures of Christian Grey on Google, and two of them were from later in the movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:35:16] But here. Yeah, I’m just gonna say we’ve now seen him take and be photographed dozens of times.

 

Paul Scheer [00:35:23] Right. He is not someone who doesn’t want his photo taken. He is out and about. He’s getting his photo snapped and but they take that picture. And I also like what? Like it’s not like evidence.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:35:34] It seems to be simply so that he can burn the cigaret in it in the in the last scene.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:35:40] So he took. He took a picture on his iPhone. Went to like a target for one of those machines.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:35:47] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:35:47] Printed out a four by six. It’s like got it. And then and then.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:35:52] Something like that. And that’s how absurd it is. Can I ask and somebody maybe we’ll know from the the book readers or something like that. Was Jack meant to be this series’ Jacob?

 

Audience [00:36:04] No.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:36:05] Are we supposed to be choosing between, like, the way that Bella, you were either Team Edward or Team Jacob?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:36:09] Don’t even finish. Don’t even.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:36:11] No, no. I want to keep asking. Let me explain.

 

Paul Scheer [00:36:14] No, no.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:36:16] Do you remember Team Edward? And Team Jacob? Taylor Lautner?

 

Paul Scheer [00:36:27] But this is why, like to your point. This is why this movie is kind of missing the mark. Because in my mind. I’m like, wouldn’t it have been interesting if they break up and she actually finds this guy kind of sexy? He’s in her field, he likes literature. They get together, they find each other on a different level. They have sex, they like, there’s something interesting. And then Christian Grey comes back. But this movie doesn’t allow anyone to literally be in a scene with her more than 35 seconds, even when the helicopter crashes. Like, I’m back, guys, why were you with my girlfriend? Yeah, that’s my girlfriend. Mom!

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:03] He doesn’t even. Yeah, he doesn’t even want his family spending time with you. Get the fuck out of here so I can be with my girl.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:37:09] And he, like, says it at one point when he’s, like, trying to assault her. He’s like, I could. I could fuck you and make you smarter, too. Yeah. And it’s like, well, let her get to that conclusion. You know, like.

 

Paul Scheer [00:37:21] I also don’t want anyone to say that they’re going to fuck the smart into me. Like, I don’t want to be smarter after you fuck me. That feels weird.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:29] But there’s also a thing which.

 

Paul Scheer [00:37:31] Fuck me dumber.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:37:32] I want to I want to forget some vocab words afterwards. You know?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:36] I also was like, really? She cannot exist in the world without somehow being with the most toxic individuals. Like Jose was creepy to her. Like Jack spirals into like a, like, mustache twirling villain just by somehow being close to her. And then when Christian comes in and they have, then he’s like, Now I’m really pissed. What the fuck is this?

 

Paul Scheer [00:38:01] I think that she’s some sort of like demon that just is possessing people because we see nothing that makes her like a appealing. She’s a person who’s watching, like a video on her own computers being like, there’s like. Like she has a no passion. I don’t see any passion.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:38:19] She and she doesn’t like. This is another thing that I overheard when she’s explaining one of the books that she likes. At one point, she describes it as it’s a political thriller told through the lens of Dante’s Inferno. And then she gets cut off. But I’m like, I want to know more.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:38:36] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:38:38] I love, I love that because I also feel like there’s a middle part of that where it’s the author, E.L. James, going, like, let me talk about publishing how fucked up it is, you know, because there’s some it’s like, well, wait a second, they’re only popular online. And she’s like, I know. And that’s where the readers are. And you need to be publishing more fanfic of fucking.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:38:58] Yeah. Like, because everybody in this company is a creep or a piece of shit.

 

Paul Scheer [00:39:07] Oh my gosh. But we did reveal a question. An answer has been given. Now that the cleaning lady does clean up that red room. Yeah, and that was upsetting to me.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:39:16] She makes an acting choice. One of the most difficult acting moments in the movie is when he is carrying her out of the room, and the cleaning lady sees her, and she has to give him a face that says, like, oh, you kids. But at the same time, like, I know what you’re doing. But she’s like, not judgmental, but she’s happy about it is like, I wish you could pull it up because it is. Honestly. Give her an Emmy. It is. I know it’s a movie, but seriously.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:39:45] Who is it? Mrs. Johnson? Is that her name, Mrs. Johnson? She is turning in the best performance in the entire series so far. Truly.

 

Paul Scheer [00:39:52] And some of the best performances here are in these smaller side characters. They just pop in, they do their little business. But I also feel like Mrs. Johnson is like, maybe he’s in that room, too. Yeah, yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:03] Mrs. Jones? Yeah. Oh, I love that. Jones.

 

Paul Scheer [00:40:07] I feel like I just feel like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:11] Perfect Dakota Johnson delivery. Jones.

 

Paul Scheer [00:40:14] When she’s experiencing this house has been weird. And I feel like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:21] Jones. I’m biting my lip. There’s a lot less lip biting in this movie.

 

Paul Scheer [00:40:28] Oh, yeah, she doesn’t lip bite that much. Although she did bite that sweater’s lip or the neck.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:34] No, no, the neck hole is the mouth of a sweater.

 

Paul Scheer [00:40:41] I like the pommel horse scene.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:43] Holy shit. Holy shit.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:40:46] Is that a standard piece of gym equipment?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:50] When I saw that, I wrote in my notes. Holy shit. He has a pommel horse in his home gym, which he then used. Yeah. And I was like, wait, does this guy know how to do gymnastics?

 

Paul Scheer [00:41:08] [Scene plays] All right, so he’s doing it.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:10] I love everybody in the crowd is like getting horned up. This section right here. We need we’re gonna need to put a tarp down.

 

Paul Scheer [00:41:21] Now this is what I love because I can’t tell if this is wire work. Or this is him.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:27] This real, this real. This looks real. Does he do gymnastics?

 

Paul Scheer [00:41:33] Wow.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:35] Did you work on this movie?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:41:36] Are you the script supervisor?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:37] What are you? Did you play the horse?

 

Paul Scheer [00:41:41] Only could do four takes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:42] He could only do four takes. And then he was done. But it’s real.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:41:46] I’m sorry, but who said up here that he uses the pommel horse correctly? Because he just. You could do that on anything.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:53] I guess so.

 

Paul Scheer [00:41:53] You don’t need a pommel horse.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:56] You’re right, you’re right.

 

Paul Scheer [00:41:57] You just need an edge.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:58] To me. I was like, oh, this is set decoration gone wild. Like he’s never going to use the pommel horse. But then he does. And I was like, okay.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:42:08] But it looks like he’s somebody who doesn’t know what it is.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:14] Right. He’s not using the pommel horse correctly. He is just using it. Like using it correctly would be like. You know, hands. You know.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:22] That would have been awesome. Like Gymkata.

 

Paul Scheer [00:42:24] Yeah. Gymkata. That’s what I would want to see. But. I feel like this movie is unanswered questions after unanswered questions. And to me, the biggest question in this movie is she stops at a newsstand and we don’t see what she’s buying. And she goes, do you have a gift box for this? Which makes me think she’s insane. I lived in New York for many a year. I’ve been to many newsstands. Do you have a gift box? I think the person would look at me like what the fuck are you? They would take it back.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:43:00] If you ask like a bodega person for a gift box, they would pull a gun on you.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:43:05] And honestly, they would have every right to. And here’s what’s even more mind scrambling. Apparently they do, right? Apparently she’s right. He does. And it works. And not only that, she gives him Christian Grey the box and it’s still in his pocket after the helicopter crash.

 

Paul Scheer [00:43:26] The phone is lost. But birthday gift stayed intact. And that, to me, feels like a moment where no one on set questioned it. It was like, you know, they have gift boxes. They definitely have multiple size gift boxes. Yeah. No. To me, a funnier choice would have been like, he like, pulls like an old candy. Like, here’s a Twix. Yeah. We sold all the Twix but you could put it in here and it would be awkwardly sized, but yeah, like, that’s why I like this movie does feel like there’s no complication. Like that isn’t even a complication.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:44:01] Well that’s the thing. It’s like the whole beginning of the movie is like her being like, we can date again as long as you’re not a fucking sex weirdo, right? And then she does all the fucking sex weirdo shit that he wants, so he gets everything he wants anyways. So I don’t understand what the problem is coming into the second movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:44:18] I don’t understand what anybody’s problem is anywhere in the movie. Yeah. And not only that. She is introduced to not just are her eyes being open to a world of sexual discovery, but she’s being her world is being opened up to like the mega wealthy. He is a billionaire. This movie should feel as though it’s sexy Princess diaries.

 

Paul Scheer [00:44:39] Right.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:44:39] Like she should be like, whoa, what? Everything should be shocking. And every step of the way, she’s like uh-huh.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:44:45] It should be. It should be like Annie. Like, I think I’m gonna like it here.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:44:49] Oh, my God, I can’t believe this. But every step of the way, she’s unfazed. And it’s like, yep, pretty much what I thought. And in fact, I’ll take more.

 

Paul Scheer [00:44:57] The the biggest moment that I, the most reaction we have is when the car that he gave her is like paint. I don’t know if she was. Paint was thrown on it. Like she’s like, oh, my car like that. Like she’s upset about that. And then when the woman with the gun comes in and Christian makes her kneel, she goes, takes a long walk. And then she comes back. Everyone just comes back.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:45:18] Like everything from it, from that scene, the gun scene and the helicopter crash, the rest of these people’s lives would be focused on overcoming that trauma, and they instead are like, let’s go get a steak.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:45:33] Again with the more interesting movie. I thought the first time I saw this movie, I thought, okay, this girl is stalking her. This girl is like appearing, popping up, and you think she’s going to be bad, but she’s really there to warn her about Christian, and then Christian’s going to be bad. But no, the movie is like, no, no, no, no, she’s just jealous.

 

Paul Scheer [00:45:55] Like and like he’s like, hey, look, it’s also who’s the narrator? Because, like, she had a mental breakdown, you know? Yeah, I cut it off. Yeah. Broke up with her husband.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:46:03] Dick so good, she had to go crazy.

 

Paul Scheer [00:46:05] Yeah, she is nuts. I don’t know about you.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:09] But that whole scene, when he comes in and she calls him master and is like, master lets you sleep in his bed or whatever that whole thing is. And then he comes in and it’s like, kneel and that whole thing unfolds. The rest of the movie should be them unpacking those 20 seconds of time. And then the rest of the movie is masquerade balls, helicopters, everything else, and none. Not a single examination of the absolute batshit insanity.

 

Paul Scheer [00:46:35] Where did she go? Did he just.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:46:37] She’s never heard from or seen again.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:38] Oh she is disappeared.

 

Paul Scheer [00:46:40] Taylor! Get her.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:43] She is in the French Foreign Legion. She is dunzo.

 

Paul Scheer [00:46:48] I mean, again, and we didn’t even. I want to go to the crowd, but we didn’t even get into the fact that she gets a job and within two weeks is now running the company.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:46:57] Running it.

 

Paul Scheer [00:46:58] And and it’s stated, like, very clear, like he didn’t make that happen. Like. Yeah. She’s good. She read that Dante’s Inferno book and and make her the head.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:47:10] I gotta say, like it wasn’t there in the performance. But if if I were directing this movie, her one person of color coworker who has been there longer than her.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:47:20] Yes.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:47:21] The way she’s like, so do I have to call you Miss Steele now? Like she says it in like a normal, like kind way. But in my head, if I were that girl reading that script, I’d be like, so am I supposed to call you Miss Steele now? Or, yeah. Like it’s crazy. Like she, I think, is the only person of color, depending on how you count Rita Ora, is the only one in the movie. Rita Ora is the biggest jump scare in the movie for me. I like when I realized it was her, I was like, that’s the lady who was the villain in the Pikachu movie, you know?

 

Paul Scheer [00:47:56] I mean, again, she pops in and we see her. Boom. It’s like we go, oh, let’s see if this. There she is. Yeah. There she is. Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:05] Was she a brunet in the first movie?

 

Paul Scheer [00:48:08] That’s I’m saying.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:09] So that’s why they justify her blond hair here. Because she’s both masked and blond? Got it.

 

Paul Scheer [00:48:14] So they introduce the character in a mask that we know they have to say, hey, she looks different, but she looks doubly different because she’s wearing a mask. And then she’s like did he ever tell you about the time he used to fight people? He got kicked out of school a lot. I’m just dropping exposition for no apparent reason. See you later.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:28] Like. But it doesn’t seem to bear out in any way, shape or form. He’s not a brawler. Unless it’s him that beat jack up and we just didn’t see that scene.

 

Paul Scheer [00:48:37] Maybe in the sequel, I don’t know. Again, nothing much happens.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:40] I just want to remind both of you that we haven’t talked at all about their time on the boat.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:48:47] Oh, my God, this is crazy. Your apartment isn’t safe. Our apartments aren’t safe. Let’s go to this very minimally guarded boat.

 

Paul Scheer [00:48:58] Let’s go to the docks. Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:00] The rest of the crew will be here in the morning. She wakes up in international waters. What? You’re being trafficked. What’s happening?

 

Paul Scheer [00:49:10] There is so much kidnaping going on in this movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:13] There are so many red flags for the entire Grey family. And Anastasia Steele, again, a name that is in no way, shape or form real, is always like, I’m into it, I’m into it. I mean, look, whatever this is, I’m fucking into it.

 

Paul Scheer [00:49:28] I mean, this is a scene of red flags. Here we go.

 

Movie Audio [00:49:31] It’s all wrong. All of this is wrong. You put money into my account that I don’t want it.

 

Paul Scheer [00:49:40] Red flag.

 

Movie Audio [00:49:41] You bought the company I work for.

 

Paul Scheer [00:49:43] Red flag.

 

Movie Audio [00:49:44] This isn’t a relationship, Christian. It’s ownership.

 

Paul Scheer [00:49:47] Red flag.

 

Movie Audio [00:49:50] I’m trying to understand you. I am just wanting to get close to you. But it’s really difficult to do that when you keep doing bizarre things like this. And it’s really difficult to do that when you won’t let me touch you.

 

Paul Scheer [00:50:07] Red flag.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:50:08] What? And it’s. And it is but maybe 48 hours later that she agrees to marry this man.

 

Paul Scheer [00:50:18] Because he says it in his sleep. But then he doesn’t say that in sleep. He knew he was awake.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:50:22] I have. I have to ask really quickly, because this is something I’m genuinely confused about, because Dakota Johnson actually is one of my favorite actresses. I love Suspiria. I love Suspiria, it’s one of my favorite movies. Is she good in this movie? Is she is she elevating the terrible script or is she right on par with.

 

Audience Member [00:50:42] She’s elevating it.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:50:43] Thank you.

 

Paul Scheer [00:50:45] We have another we have a fourth member.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:50:47] This row is in the movie.

 

Paul Scheer [00:50:50] Here’s what I will say. I have a conflicted relationship with her. This movie is leaps and bounds better than the first one.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:50:57] What?!

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:51:01] Joel, do yourself a favor and do not ever watch that movie.

 

Paul Scheer [00:51:06] I mean, the first one looks like a student film, and this is like well lit. I feel like acting is better. Like the acting in the first one. You’re like oh.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:51:17] I thought for sure this must have been a significant dip in quality and from all quadrants.

 

Paul Scheer [00:51:22] No, it’s a matter of fact. This movie was shot so differently that I was googling. Is it the same actor who played Christian Grey? Because he looks I think he’s lit different, or he gained weight in the good way. Like he just looks better.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:51:34] The movie is failing everyone. The movie is is actively working because there are so many good actors in this movie, and it’s working against all of them. Nobody can make a choice that is helpful for the movie even remotely.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:51:47] Yeah, I just like there’s something About me that respects Dakota Johnson even more now after seeing this film, because there’s something about an actress of her caliber that will take these shitty ass parts like Madame Web? Girl, what are you doing?

 

Paul Scheer [00:52:01] And the line. The line that she says in that Madame Web trailer. Oh, I love it.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:52:05] She was with my mother when she was studying spiders in the Amazon.

 

Paul Scheer [00:52:10] I am like, yes.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:52:12] We will be seated. That is our Valentine’s Day. We are going to see Madame Web.

 

Paul Scheer [00:52:15] All in on Madame Web. Give me the three films.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:52:18] We will be here. That’s when you’ll meet June. Yeah. The movie is so not interested in compelling sex scenes. So much so that when she enters and has her first interaction with Mrs. Jones, it’s to Jeff Buckley, which we should all be fucking to tonight, right? But then when they do go and fuck, it’s to like, absolute insane rap rock. And I’m like, what is fucking happening here? This is very bizarre.

 

Paul Scheer [00:52:47] Let’s go to the crowd. Let’s see what you have questions for. Obviously there’s a lot of opinions out here. All right. So, the one thing that we didn’t mention was there was a lot of issues in the first film. The director and the screenwriter did not return because they had trouble with E.L. James, because E.L. James is very, controlling of the script and wanted to make sure that nothing deviated from her books.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:53:09] Didn’t she have like, right of refusal on cast and certain.

 

Paul Scheer [00:53:14] Yeah, she had quite a bit of control. Yeah. So much so that the studio trusted E.L. And not the director and writer. So for the second film, they got this new director and they hired E.L. James’s husband to write the script.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:53:27] Oh, whoa.

 

Paul Scheer [00:53:29] Both scripts, because they shot two and three back to back. They did.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:53:32] Thank God.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:53:34] Like Avengers.

 

Paul Scheer [00:53:35] Yeah, well, this is the biggest.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:53:38] This is the Lord of the Rings of erotic nonsense.

 

Paul Scheer [00:53:42] These books have been gigantic. The trailers were reviewed more times than Star Wars The Force Awakens, like it was in this thing that was insane. And the studio was like, did not commit to a sequel until the first movie opened and made like $85 million on the first weekend. So they’re like, oh shit, we gotta finish these. Like they already had three. And so then they rushed them into production to get them out. So it’s an interesting thing, but E.L. James’ husband or, you know, whatever wrote the thing. Who had their hand up over here. Yes. Okay. Yes. All right. What’s your question?

 

Audience Member [00:54:16] So y’all have yet to comment on the fact that she took her panties off while at a restaurant? Jason, I know germs are not your thing, so I’d like to know how you.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:54:25] Thank you for knowing that.

 

Audience Member [00:54:26] Of course. I’d like to know how you would react. And I must add, I took these notes on my old company’s letterhead, so.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:54:34] Do you want to shut the company out? Yeah. I thought she did a pretty good subtle job of it, but, like, I was like, if I looked, I would be the person who would be like, no, no, no.

 

Paul Scheer [00:54:50] She did it discreetly. Yeah.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:54:52] You know what I have to say? You know what I had to say when I saw that? Try doing that in pants, lady. Okay, then I’ll be impressed. Then I’ll be impressed when you can do that in pants.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:03] I would love that if he pulled up boxer briefs. I would have loved it if this movie had transitioned into being, like a Zucker brothers movie. Like he pulled up like long underwear.

 

Paul Scheer [00:55:18] By the way, save it. We can make a whole parody series. I, I was a little confused how I’m going to open myself up to being an idiot, but maybe I was fucked stupid.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:29] Did he do it?

 

Paul Scheer [00:55:31] Well what was he doing in the elevator?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:32] I was just going to say he asked her to take them off so that he could finger her in the elevator. Right, right. But I mean, everybody. She is.

 

Paul Scheer [00:55:39] I don’t get the angles. I don’t get the angles of it. Because he would have to kind of like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:44] Well, he’s doing one of these. He’s doing one of these, like. He does the old. No, no. Yeah. He does one of those.

 

Paul Scheer [00:55:55] That’s why, you know, he needs to be on the pommel horse. To get those angles.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:56:00] I think what you thought it was confusing because you assumed everybody in the elevator heard (wet noises).

 

Paul Scheer [00:56:07] Sucking in those fingers like a jet engine.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:56:12] But she is actively being like huh huh huh. And everybody must be like, what the fuck is going on?

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:56:22] Well even at the start of it, when he goes down to tie his shoe, that one lady is like, why here?

 

Paul Scheer [00:56:29] Well, then let me ask. All right then. I’m going to continue to ask my dumb questions to the people who are very active about the the.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:56:35] Can I ask you? I’m sorry to interrupt you, Paul. Do you think he asked her to take off her panties in the restaurant, knowing that he was going to finger her in the elevator later?

 

Paul Scheer [00:56:44] Yes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:56:45] That he. By the way. He’s fucking lame. Don’t plan it all out like that. Let there be surprise and discovery.

 

Paul Scheer [00:56:55] This is what I thought was happening. And again, I’m revealing myself here because I trust you all. I thought he was pulling on like a Hunchback of Notre Dame thing where he’s kind of.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:57:05] I’m sorry. What now?

 

Paul Scheer [00:57:07] I thought he was doing a Hunchback of Notre Dame thing. Where a Notre Dame, where he’s doing, where he’s going to kind of pull on the bells, like, like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:57:15] On the on the, on the balls, the balls, the, the Kegel balls.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:57:25] Oh! I was like, wow, there’s a lot more going on down there than I thought.

 

Paul Scheer [00:57:29] I thought he was like, ding-a-ling-a-ding-a-ling.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:57:34] You’re right. You’re right in the sense that when she’s in the red room, she does pick up like a bell that is on like a cat’s. You know, there is a bell, but no, no, I don’t.

 

Paul Scheer [00:57:46] Ding-a-ling-a-ding-a-ling-a-ling. And there’s two of them in there and it’s fingers. It’s like that thing. I think he’s dinging the bell.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:57:50] Oh my God. Was that leaving the restaurant?

 

Paul Scheer [00:57:56] That was in the elevator, going up to his apartment, which seemingly was like a long elevator ride and he seems. Oh, I don’t know who is above him. Yes. Hi. Hi. What’s your question? Hi.

 

Audience Member [00:58:04] Hi. My question is, we haven’t really talked about how the charity event was for parents of drug or parents that were drug addicts.

 

Paul Scheer [00:58:18] Right.

 

Audience Member [00:58:20] And it was also a sexy ball, so.

 

Paul Scheer [00:58:23] Right. Well, you know, look, you can help out kids and also have a good time, right? I mean, you know.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:58:30] Do we feel that the charity has anything to do with Christian Grey? Oh, wait a minute. He’s told us 30,000 times that his mother was a crack addict. I guess that’s part of it.

 

Paul Scheer [00:58:39] What he says is my mother is a crack addict. You know how it goes. Like. Well, no. Let’s look at some specifics. Like, you know, she could be a I mean, I guess there’s not.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:58:48] When he says when she says that. You’ve never told me that before. And he says, I told you when you were asleep. Yeah. When you were asleep. Oh, I can’t wait till I have a relationship and I can use that one. What do you mean? I told you you were just asleep. The ultimate gaslighting. Of course. I told you you were just sleeping.

 

Paul Scheer [00:59:14] Hey, how are you doing? What’s your name?

 

Audience Member [00:59:16] Nick.

 

Paul Scheer [00:59:16] Nick, what’s your question?

 

Audience Member [00:59:19] In the first movie, Jose says that I just got, my art’s going to be shown at the Portland place. And I’m wondering if the gallery at the beginning of this movie is the Portland place.

 

Paul Scheer [00:59:29] Oh, so this is how close the first two movies are together or is, I thought, this is like, maybe later on.

 

Audience Member [00:59:34] I didn’t think that his art was going to be shown in more than one spot, so.

 

Paul Scheer [00:59:40] Good call.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:59:41] Savage. Savage dig on Jose’s art.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:59:46] I have a question about the first one. Is Jose, is Jose, like in love with her a little bit too? Yeah. Okay.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:59:51] So in the first movie, he’s her friend. And then he makes a pass like an aggressive pass at her.

 

Joel Kim Booster [00:59:56] I only understood that because at the end of the movie, when he’s announcing that they’re getting married, he gives the best face. Like, it really does tell the whole story of the first movie and their relationship because he goes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:00:12] By the way, that was great.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:00:13] Thank you.

 

Paul Scheer [01:00:14] Yes. Your question?

 

Audience Member [01:00:15] Name is John. My question is, did you guys catch the Vin Diesel reference in the film?

 

Paul Scheer [01:00:19] Ooh, tell us, where is it?

 

Speaker 6 [01:00:21] So, throughout the movie, well, they’re fucking in the bedroom. Yeah, like one of the last shots is like the wall they haven’t shown. And on the wall, there’s a Chronicles of Riddick poster.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:00:30] What?!

 

Paul Scheer [01:00:30] Oh, I did see that. That was fucking crazy, because.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:00:36] What what are you talking about?

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:00:38] Oh my God.

 

Paul Scheer [01:00:40] I was like, this is so incongruous to everything in his. He lives in a, you know, like a stainless steel apartment.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:00:46] What? Christian Grey’s apartment?

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:00:49] I was really hoping you were going to say they’re.

 

Paul Scheer [01:00:53] His bedroom, right?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:00:54] Oh. His child. Okay. It’s in his childhood bedroom, so that only serves to prove to me the Christian Grey is a fucking idiot. And she should walk into the room and be like Chronicles of Riddick, I’m done.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:01:08] Done.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:01:09] You’re dumped. I’m out of here. If that was your taste, you’re out of your mind.

 

Paul Scheer [01:01:14] We know he’s a sadist. So, obviously we have an opinion about this movie. There are people out there with a different opinion. It is now time for second opinions.

 

Audience Member [01:01:25] My name is Ian.

 

Paul Scheer [01:01:29] Yeah.

 

Audience Member [01:01:33] You’re all his, girl. But you know it don’t matter. Because you know he’s gonna stalk you anyway. You can rely on all his money. You can rely on all his money. It’s a great film. And I’m gonna review it because I’m gonna give it five stars on Amazon. That’s it.

 

Paul Scheer [01:01:52] Give it up. That was amazing. Just so you know, if you’re listening at home, no one volunteered for a song. He took a bullet for us all. That was amazing. Great job.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:02:04] That’s deeply impressive.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:02:06] That’s how it’s done. Short and sweet.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:02:08] Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:02:09] With a big ole mustache.

 

Paul Scheer [01:02:11] 44,000 reviews.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:02:14] No.

 

Paul Scheer [01:02:15] For this movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:02:16] Read them all. Read them all. Read them all.

 

Paul Scheer [01:02:20] All right, let’s do it. But that’s a significant decline because the first movie had 75,000 reviews. So this is 44,000 reviews on Amazon, 82% are five stars. So this is actually higher, five star rating than the last one.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:02:36] It’s empire, baby. I would have loved it if Christian Grey had ended this movie frozen in carbonite. I did write in my notes that I wished she died in the helicopter crash. Please go.

 

Paul Scheer [01:02:51] I still want to understand how he got those fireworks to go off exactly right. Because he didn’t cue anybody. Like, unless he was wearing a wire or something. All right, so Gabe writes this, “Bought this for my wife. She’s now watched it, like, seven times. Yeah. This is not a movie about sex. It’s about character traits. Environmental behavior impacts on the human mind and the needs which are derived from such impacts. As both a sociologist and a clinical behaviorist, having practiced for over a decade in the clinical setting in over three decades with in field work. I can say the characters are much more realistic than many may realize. Watching from this perspective makes the movie much more complete as an experience. Extremely well done. This is not about sex. It’s about so much more. Sex is a byproduct.” The title, “Watch for the human behavioral perspective and look for a deeper point. Much to be gained. Excellent writing, directing and acting. Five stars.”

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:03:54] Oh, okay. I’m an abolitionist, but march him directly to jail. I just.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:04:01] If my therapist ever said that they wrote reviews of things on Amazon, I would lose my mind. This person’s license should be revoked.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:04:11] Yeah. Three decades of field experience? Where?

 

Paul Scheer [01:04:20] Kristen Allen or Krissy, as she writes.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:04:23] Thank God we have her full name.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:04:25] And a nickname.

 

Paul Scheer [01:04:27]  Writes, “Movie is definitely darker. It’s best to go back and watch the first one so everything makes sense. Otherwise, you’ll be in the dark or interrupting the movie to ask questions, which can get bothersome after a while. I guess that’s maybe a note to someone she watched this movie with. There is a lot of sex in it, but I expect that from this movie. It will make you both want to get something hot started. So that’s just a little warning for you. If you don’t know anything about sex before watching this movie, you will learn something by the end.”

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:05:01] I wonder what.

 

Paul Scheer [01:05:04] “Definitely a girls night or date night. Or maybe, pick up some tips and tricks kind of movie.” The title, “Make you want to. . . Five stars.”

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:05:19] That was such a passive aggressive review.

 

Paul Scheer [01:05:22] It really was. And this is my favorite one from Brenda. Brenda, whose name is “Brenda I gave it a five”, and, Brenda I gave it a five. The title is “Not for teenage children.”

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:05:39] Found out the hard way.

 

Paul Scheer [01:05:41] “My granddaughter accidentally ordered this, and, of course, was not allowed to watch it. She didn’t know it was about this. I didn’t get my money back either. I guess it was our fault for ordering it, not for teenage children. Five stars.”

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:05:57] Wait, wait. How is it? How is that a five star review?

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:06:02] Because it arrived on time. Also, she did not accidentally order that. Oh, my God.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:06:09] There’s no way that granddaughter accidentally ordered.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:06:12] I accidentally googled men kissing when I was nine years old.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:06:17]  I swear to God, guys, I rented it this weekend. I tried to watch it, but my Nana found it and said I couldn’t.

 

Paul Scheer [01:06:24] I have been going to one star reviews too because I just want to see what’s going on. And Michelle Denis wrote this, “It’s pretty clear that E.L. James had all these fantasies in her head, and she was just dying to share them with the world, but it didn’t sit well with her, so she had to spin it in a way to make it look like a moral lesson or an explanation for people’s bedroom behavior. The only reason her books made the bottom shelf of the grocery store is because we’re in a climate that shames everyone in order to justify stripping people of their privacy, and her juvenile fantasy books are yet another tool to point out what needs to be shamed. What hypocrisy! If you’re going to play rough with your consenting partner, own it. Don’t make up excuses and act ashamed of your twisted fantasies, E.L. James! One star.” That one’s really taken it to E.L. James. Would you recommend this movie?

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:07:19] Absolutely not.

 

Paul Scheer [01:07:21] Jason?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:07:22] You know, I’m in for a penny. In for a pound. Yup. I’m in. Having now watch last night and tonight. I’ll be honest, none of this is good. This is a absolute nightmare to be inside. I’m dreading my day tomorrow.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:07:36] Can I say? That this is a thing, though? I would never recommend someone. And even having watched it three times of my own volition. I am weirdly curious to see the third.

 

Paul Scheer [01:07:45] Oh, I can’t wait, I can’t wait. I’m in. I’m all in.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:07:49] I’m curious. (To vocal row) You guys are enormously into the movie. Yes?

 

Audience Member [01:07:54] I read the books.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:07:55] Okay.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:07:55] Okay.

 

Audience Member [01:07:56] Not even touch what the movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:07:58] Give us. Okay. Can you give us, like, 2 or 3 little highlights that you want to say you wish X had made it in.

 

Paul Scheer [01:08:04] Hold on. Let me get.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:06] She’s loud enough.

 

Paul Scheer [01:08:08] I’m not getting that close.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:10] She’s loud enough. It’s okay.

 

Audience Member [01:08:11] In the last movie, when they were doing the spank scene, it was actually what it was in the book, which is like, he beats the shit out of her.

 

Paul Scheer [01:08:16] Oh, that makes more sense. Okay.

 

Audience Member [01:08:20] That’s why she’s scared, and that’s why she’s.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:23] At the end of it. At the end of the first movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

Audience Member [01:08:27] And this third.

 

Paul Scheer [01:08:28] Oh, I don’t spoil it.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:29] Oh, no no no spoilers.

 

Paul Scheer [01:08:31] No spoilers.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:32] Will you be here tomorrow night? Well, this will be here tomorrow night. If you invite me, I will.

 

Paul Scheer [01:08:38] You’re invited.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:39] This feels. This feels like a this feels like a Christian Grey scenario.

 

Paul Scheer [01:08:44] I just was her submissive.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:46] I feel like you’re the Christian Grey though.

 

Paul Scheer [01:08:48] Yeah. All right, well, I want to quickly, just, quickly just go around real quick. What do you think’s gonna happen in the third one?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:54] Oh. Oh, wow. Wow. I mean, now that it’s been introduced again, the first movie, Joel, you’ll be shocked to find out has no thriller elements. Nothing but, like, sexual discovery. So now that there’s been gunplay and helicopter crashes and all the rest, I’m assuming there’s going to be like, murder. We’re definitely gonna have a murder. And my prediction is that somehow Kim Basinger might need to be the big bad. Like what you were saying. Like, maybe she murders.

 

Paul Scheer [01:09:22] She’s going to get shot.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:09:22] Or gets murdered. Gets murdered.

 

Paul Scheer [01:09:24] I think she’s going to get shot. I think we’re going to see babies. I think there’s gonna be a time jump.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:09:27] Whoa. How? Like, what do you do? What, 40 years?

 

Paul Scheer [01:09:33] It’s going to end like Harry Potter. We’re going to see their kids doing S&M. Like Muppet Babies. 50 Shades of Babies.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:09:55] That’s a t shirt.

 

Paul Scheer [01:09:56] And it’s his Nana’s stocking. You just see that Kegel balls hanging out from.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:10:05] I think. I think that Jack is going to kidnap her. Okay. But I think he’s going to have to put together a team. Diaper guy. Ros. Piss guy. Cultural play guy.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:10:23] Avengers team of all kink people.

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:10:25] Yeah. Kinksters. Yeah. Together.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:10:29] Anal fister!

 

Paul Scheer [01:10:33] I love it!

 

Joel Kim Booster [01:10:34] The Expendables.

 

Paul Scheer [01:10:38] The Submissives.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:10:39] Captain cock and ball torture.

 

Paul Scheer [01:10:43] Nipple clamps, get over here! All right. ad.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:10:47] They had nipple clamps, but they were only used on the finger.

 

Paul Scheer [01:10:51] Sexy.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:10:52] This movie is not as horny as it wants to be.
