1
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,371
Are we going? It's happening.

2
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,445
- Hi, it's Seth Rogen here.
- And I'm Evan Goldberg.

3
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,570
This is your audio commentary
for This Is the End.

4
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,608
This Is the End This Is the End

5
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,566
Here's the first tidbit. That was my voice.

6
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,689
That was Evan Goldberg's voice. Evan has
the first line in the entire movie.

7
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,481
He says, "Hey, Seth Rogen, man."
Do it, man. Do your line.

8
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,450
- Hey, Seth Rogen.
- That's not how you do it.

9
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,922
But anyway, we feel like
we should contextualize this a bit.

10
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,324
It's June 7th, 2013.
The movie has not yet been released.

11
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,131
It comes out in a few days.

12
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,329
We don't know how it will do.
So sometimes it's embarrassing,

13
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,771
'cause you talk about your movie
like it's great,

14
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,080
and then it doesn't do that well.

15
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,004
So we're just gonna talk about it
as though it's gonna be great,

16
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,651
and everyone's gonna love it,
and it's gonna be spectacular.

17
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,087
- How's that, Evan?
- I like it. I like this attitude.

18
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,123
I like that attitude as well.

19
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,046
So we'll refer to all of our choices
as though they were good ones.

20
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,330
That's Jason Cox,
who's our behind-the-scenes DVD guy.

21
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,324
Also just a guy who we knew
who had a camera.

22
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,210
And this idea
that a photographer starts filming me

23
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,045
was kind of a last-minute idea, actually.

24
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,969
- We just threw it in.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

25
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,451
We were hesitant. We almost didn't do it.

26
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,966
We thought my saying, "Hey, Seth Rogen,"
would suffice.

27
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,441
- But it mightjust confuse, we realized.
- Yeah.

28
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,528
I'm gonna ask,
and I'm just gonna do it on the commentary.

29
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,126
Can you turn it down
a little tiny bit in our ears?

30
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:16,321
- That's a commentary into the commentary.
- Which is nice for our meta-movie.

31
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,050
You just saw behind the scenes
of a commentary.

32
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,170
Sometimes, when recording a commentary,
you hear the movie too loud in your ears

33
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,720
and you have to ask the engineer
to turn it down a little bit.

34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,609
That was commentary commentary.

35
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,045
Here's a comment on the movie.

36
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,488
During this scene,
we did a half-hour long take.

37
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,085
This is actually the first day of filming.

38
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,324
We actually started filming the movie
with the first scenes in the movie.

39
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,802
The first thing we filmed
was me and Jay in the airport,

40
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,645
and this was the second thing we filmed.

41
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,122
We're in New Orleans.
The whole thing is in New Orleans.

42
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,009
We had a fun time.

43
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,845
We don't honestly know what gluten is,
as humans.

44
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:53,763
I actually don't know what gluten is.

45
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,208
We discussed this on NPR yesterday
with a delightful woman named Terry,

46
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,845
and we realized we don't.

47
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:01,366
Jay Baruchel has
a huge Montreal Canadiens hat

48
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,523
and was very excited that he had
the opportunity to wear that hat.

49
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,204
And we did have to blur it out
in advertisements,

50
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,725
but it was worth it for Jay.

51
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,280
Each bite is better than the previous bite.

52
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,964
- It is.
- Gluten!

53
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,205
- Hey, this looks beautiful.
- Yeah. Do you like it? I totally redid it.

54
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,601
- It's fucking awesome.
- It's all new. Those are new.

55
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,281
- God damn, son!
- It's pretty nice, huh?

56
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,561
So this is how the other half lives.

57
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,364
- Come on.
- Amazing.

58
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,441
Air hockey tables.

59
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,363
This is a house we used.

60
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,047
This is kind of like a house I used to have.
Some of these photos are photos I took.

61
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,602
I got an air hockey table from you, I
think, as a gift when I first moved in.

62
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,445
- It was a hit for a while.
- It was good, the air hockey table.

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,205
- These are actually Jay's favorite things.
- These are.

64
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,890
This is not, like, something for the film.

65
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,203
- Jay drinks, what, 12 Cokes a day?
- Fifteen thousand.

66
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,204
- And he has, like, 18 crowns.
- Eats a lot of Starburst.

67
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,567
When we first filmed this scene,

68
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,803
the first few takes, the concept was
that I actually didn't have any weed,

69
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,049
and I didn't have any candy
and I hadn't even set up my video games,

70
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,929
because I wasn't prepared for Jay.

71
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,050
And then we thought that felt lame
and we decided, in the moment,

72
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,521
to completely change
the concept of the scene

73
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,246
and make it that I actually
had prepared a lot of stuff.

74
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,209
So we had our props people,
who were wonderful,

75
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,521
put together all the stuff
you see on that table.

76
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,251
I remember spelling out "Jay"
with those joints.

77
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,766
And we improvised this entire scene,

78
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:21,482
because we did not write it, 'cause we
didn't think of it until we filmed it.

79
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,403
That's moviemaking.

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,366
Now, here's the first time
you hear the Backstreet Boys.

81
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,441
And this was in the movie

82
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,761
before we ever composed
of the heaven sequence at all.

83
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:36,004
It's true. We just wanted a song
that was kind of nostalgic,

84
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,050
that you thought maybe they listened to
when they were 18 years old.

85
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,168
- That they still love, 'cause it's rad.
- And they still love it.

86
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,651
So it's the Backstreet Boys.

87
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,651
And then later on,
when we started screening the movie,

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,805
we realized we needed a sequence in heaven,
and everyone loved the Backstreet Boys,

89
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,201
so maybe we could get them.

90
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,330
Sinkhole in Guatemala. There is a lot
of sinkholes in South America.

91
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,965
There's a lot of tornadoes in America.

92
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,520
There's geographical disasters,
and people just have to accept that.

93
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,285
People just have to accept that in certain
areas, you're prone to disasters.

94
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,330
We're not picking on Latin America.
They got the sinkholes.

95
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,325
You got sinkholes in Latin America.
Sinkhole de Mayo.

96
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,280
- ...know anybody there?
- You know James Franco.

97
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,687
James Franco doesn't even know my name.

98
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,730
Would you say this is accurate
to Jay's attitude in general

99
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,327
if you were to invite him
to a party somewhere?

100
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,563
- No, 'cause he wouldn't go.
- Exactly.

101
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,486
This conversation is the same,
but it would end with him not going.

102
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,882
Yeah, yeah, I mean,
that's decades in the past.

103
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,361
Jay just doesn't go to parties,
and everyone knows it.

104
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,481
He used to go to parties.

105
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,642
If you wanna come to his house
and have a two-guy party...

106
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,850
Yeah, a two-dude hangout party,
he'd be more than happy to do that.

107
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,843
When I hung outwith him
in Montreal the other week,

108
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,651
we watched a show called Bait Car
for four hours.

109
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,768
- That's a good show.
- It was incredible.

110
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:51,285
Yeah, I've seen that show.

111
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,161
Now, those Hollywood Hills are added.
That's a computer-generated effect.

112
00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:59,047
The gun on the film The Last Starfighter.

113
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,045
Computer-generated effects
date back to the '80s.

114
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,408
This area where Franco's house exists

115
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,324
is geographically
not a real area of Los Angeles.

116
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,050
It's kind of in the Hills.

117
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,407
Anyone who's from LA knows
all the geography is bullshit in the movie.

118
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,926
There's no place
you can really see the hill like that

119
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,961
and also walk to Melrose,
and where there's also streets like this.

120
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,202
- I mean, we wish, right?
- But it didn't matter.

121
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,927
Now, this house is
mostly computer-generated, actually.

122
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,721
The entire second story, the door is
real, parts of the wall are real,

123
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,484
but no house looks like that.

124
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,451
We wanted it to be
a ridiculous-looking house.

125
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,321
We wanted Frank Gehry to say
that he would let us say he designed it,

126
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,401
but he said no.

127
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,562
I'm glad he did. It makes
so much more sense that Franco did it.

128
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,085
It's true, it does make more sense.

129
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,085
Then we came up with the idea that Franco
designed it himself instead of Frank Gehry.

130
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,130
But it would have been, I don't know...

131
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,602
It was a little disappointing
when he said no.

132
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,569
Life's full of disappointments.

133
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,484
This is Franco's house,
which is built in a warehouse

134
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,769
that was used to store coffee beans
in New Orleans.

135
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,765
Yeah, there were so many movies filming that
we could not even get a movie warehouse.

136
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:09,080
So, we got a coffee bean warehouse.

137
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,243
And it didn't smell like coffee beans,
which I expected.

138
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,401
No, it really wasn't that bad.

139
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,130
But the air-conditioning
was just a bunch of tubes

140
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,160
that they stabbed holes in with knives
and then strung up from the ceiling.

141
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,440
Yeah, but it actually worked pretty good.

142
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,045
I think we got better
air-conditioning because of it.

143
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,731
- Yeah.
- Let's talk about the art.

144
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,849
This scene happened
because Franco came to New Orleans

145
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,049
and he said he wanted to paint
some paintings for the movie.

146
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,246
Those paintings, some of them...

147
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,970
There was the Freaks and Geeks
ones you see,

148
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,008
and there's a Pineapple Express one,
there's these weed leaves.

149
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,961
But he painted giant paintings of
our names, of my name and his name.

150
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,566
And when I saw it,
it was like how it is in the movie.

151
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,165
I was like, "Oh, my God, thank you."

152
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,528
He's like, "Is it weird?" I was like,
"No, it's super complimentary and nice."

153
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,164
And then we pretty much put it in the movie
exactly how it happened.

154
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,323
And how many paintings
do you think he made? Like, 26?

155
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,721
He made a lot of paintings.
He made an entire warehouse full of them...

156
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,088
He did one of you with a sword,
fighting a dragon that I called keeps on.

157
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,605
That one was pretty dope.

158
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,762
This is Mindy Kaling,
who is super-duper funny.

159
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,929
This is how I met her. I met her this day.

160
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,040
She was in 40 Year Old Virgin.
That's how I first met her.

161
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,646
I was on her TV show,
which was a lot of fun.

162
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,210
- She's a funny woman.
- She's hilarious.

163
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,965
There's Rihanna and Jason Segel
and Michael Cera.

164
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,329
We've told this story a lot, but she actually
slapped the living shit out of him right there.

165
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,523
And the reason he's holding his ear like
that is 'cause she really hurt his ear.

166
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,604
Yeah, she cupped it
and fucked up his equilibrium,

167
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,160
and he was really messed up,
and then we had to stop the scene.

168
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,527
But we had it at that point, so it's cool.

169
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,841
Jonah always had this
idea for his character

170
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:44,689
that he would be like one of those guys
that is super nice on the surface,

171
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,364
but you could make an argument,

172
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,331
was fucking with you
and was maybe actually not that nice.

173
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,890
And for Jay, it always feels...

174
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,042
When you know that,
you always feel like no one else gets it.

175
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,282
Like, "Can't you see
this guy's a fucking idiot?"

176
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,523
And it worked so well
'cause you totally get why Jay hates him,

177
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,362
but you also get why people would like him
'cause it's funny and he seems nice.

178
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,404
- "Weed is tight" is one of my favorite jokes.
- "Weed is tight," yeah.

179
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,209
Jonah says
that's his favorite joke he ever told.

180
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,884
- "Weed is tight."
- And he should be proud of it.

181
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,405
"Weed is tight." He made that up.
That was funny.

182
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,811
I feel like this scene relays

183
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,009
the most dynamic between three characters
as quick as possible...

184
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,560
Ever maybe in a movie.
In the history of film.

185
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,405
Jonah and Jay and you
are just getting it done.

186
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,721
Maybe the most ever in movies.

187
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,962
Citizen Kane takes forever.

188
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,520
- And just to get over one thing.
- It's plotting.

189
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,766
That's my dog, Zelda.
She actually does know how to bark.

190
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,731
That picture was taken in a bathtub.
I tried to sneak her into the movie.

191
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,930
This joke, I don't know...
It's funny in the movie.

192
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,287
- No, it works. It's a physical gag.
- It works.

193
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,409
It's like clown humor.
He's making a funny face.

194
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,450
And the audience does recognize Zelda
when she comes back in the end,

195
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,091
and it gets a big laugh and a cheer,
so it does work.

196
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,481
Ahjhai returns.

197
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:01,282
- Maybe the sequel is from her perspective.
- That's a good idea.

198
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,569
This is where we're laying the pipe,
where we're putting the emotional story.

199
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,405
"Laying the pipe," as they say.
Is that the term?

200
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,130
- That's a term for fucking.
- No, that is a sexual term.

201
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,521
That means fucking.
Laying the pipe means fucking.

202
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,285
We're fucking our way to the plot.

203
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,442
We're fucking our way,
we're fucking the plot in there.

204
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,521
We're laying the pipe.

205
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,809
This is another scene that we did not
write at all and we'll get credit for

206
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,884
- unless you're listening to this.
- Yeah.

207
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,645
This is a conversation
me and Jason Segel have had, literally,

208
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,166
and I was Kevin Hart in this conversation.

209
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,165
And it's funny that he put it in the movie.

210
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,049
And him and Jason and Kevin
have known each other for years.

211
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,487
Judd did a pilot with them in 2001.

212
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:39,801
They were forced to live together
as roommates.

213
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,086
- In real life?
- Yeah.

214
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,329
'Cause in the pilot, they live together,
so Judd made them live together.

215
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,767
Which was actually genius
if you think about it.

216
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,046
It is pretty genius.

217
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,321
Emma Watson.

218
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,164
We used to have
Michael Cera come in this scene,

219
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,490
throw a cigarette at Jay and ask
Emma Watson if he can live with her.

220
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,370
And then tell Craig that they were
inevitably gonna fuck one day,

221
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,842
- and tonight's the night.
- And then we cut that.

222
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,685
It was funny.
It was just a little too much Michael Cera.

223
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,762
There's a lot of funny Michael Cera
we didn't use in the end.

224
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,205
Yeah.

225
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,090
That's what he gets for acting so good,
that we only pay attention to him

226
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,367
- when he's on the screen...
- It just overshadows everything else.

227
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,488
This was Emma's first scene in the movie.

228
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:20,610
We completely rewrote it right before
we shot it, which I think horrified her.

229
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:22,808
We did it with her, though.

230
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,202
I realized
she's been in seven movies based on books,

231
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,727
so there's probably not
a whole lot of rewriting in the moment.

232
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,725
- "What if Hermione didn't do that?"
- Yeah.

233
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,691
There's an entire billion-dollar franchise
based on the fact that she does.

234
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,724
The music playing in this scene
is James Franco's band.

235
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,371
It is. Daddy, they were called, I believe.
And this is his music.

236
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,726
Motown is their thing.

237
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,962
So this is maybe
the most meta scene in the movie

238
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,361
'cause it's us discussing a sequel
for a movie.

239
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,408
It's our actual idea for the sequel.

240
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,251
And you discuss
how this movie ends with him.

241
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,210
It's true. I wonder how many people realize

242
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,406
as Franco is saying, "Danny kills me
and I die for you, and Danny eats me."

243
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,327
I think very few people probably realize
that's actually what happens in this movie.

244
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,289
I wonder if they piece it together.

245
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,569
- Maybe that's a second-viewing thing?
- I think it is.

246
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,769
I think that's maybe a second-viewing joke,
but we'll see.

247
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,086
This was just funny.

248
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:22,803
It's all the Superbad gentlemen together
in maybe the weirdest way possible.

249
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,927
This was all improvised.

250
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,608
I think we just told Michael to blow
the cocaine in Chris Mintz-Plasse's face.

251
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:31,524
Chris Mintz-Plasse is a delightful human.
We should say that.

252
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,931
I just had to get off the phone with him
to do this.

253
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,606
We actually did. He's in a band.
What are they called? Should we plug them?

254
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:37,284
They're called
the Young Rapscallions, I believe.

255
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,640
The Young Rapscallions.

256
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,927
Buy their albums and
follow them for the rest of your life.

257
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,322
- Follow the Young Rapscallions on tour.
- Send them money.

258
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,201
Now, Craig Robinson is known at parties

259
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,446
to get a keyboard and set it up
and sing Take Yo Panties Off for people.

260
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,127
It is also done in his musical sets,
but he has done this in my house...

261
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,090
- At parties.
- ...while Ken Jeong danced in a leotard.

262
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,640
Yeah.
And so we asked him to do it in the movie

263
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,760
and wear a T-shirt
that said "Take Yo Panties Off."

264
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,849
He also actually has that towel with him a
lot 'cause he sweats like a motherfucker.

265
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,287
No, he genuinely showed up to work often

266
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,603
with that shirt, that necklace,
those jeans, those shoes, and that towel,

267
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,563
and then got out of it
and got into his wardrobe.

268
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,120
- Which was essentially the same thing.
- Which was the exact same thing.

269
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,807
Michael's tugging on his Windbreaker there.
That was his only note as an actor.

270
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,803
He did everything we asked him to
with no question.

271
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,771
He just wanted that windbreaker on,
which is his personal Windbreaker.

272
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,411
That shot of Segel trying to fit in
always makes me laugh.

273
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,643
Remember, we tried to get a noise in there
when Segel goes...

274
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,564
- But it was weird.
- Yeah, it seemed weird.

275
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,850
In this scene, we always had Jay go,
"California," like from Die Hard,

276
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,163
but that just didn't land for some reason.

277
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,368
Now, Rihanna's singing.
That was nice that she sang,

278
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,522
'cause we were afraid to ask her to sing,

279
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,008
and so thank God Craig sang to her and she
just sang back pretty much like that.

280
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,970
She probably thinks we deceived her
as directors in some capacity.

281
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,166
That's what directors do, Evan.

282
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,564
- We let the actor...
- Deceive themself.

283
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,005
I was afraid to request.

284
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,007
Michael Cera's butt in this scene
is a computer-generated effect as well.

285
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,241
It's a computer booty.

286
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,846
We added a ridiculous tan line to it

287
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,049
and we made it a little bit more
of a quote-unquote bubble butt

288
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,691
than I believe
the real Michael Cera actually has.

289
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,685
- I think Michael's got a pretty bubbly butt.
- We made it bubblier.

290
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,161
Bubbly, bubbly, bubbly, bubbly.

291
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,404
Now, this we pretty much built
almost everything you see here.

292
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,689
That was a bunch of empty store fronts
and we dressed it.

293
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,444
That was empty store fronts
and we dressed it.

294
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,130
And then
the stuff on the right here was empty.

295
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,726
- Some of that was empty store fronts.
- But the entire convenience store...

296
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,643
Lots of these sidewalks, I think,
and planters, we added...

297
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:40,801
That tree wasn't there.

298
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,407
The trees and the curbs and
the parking meters, all these palm trees...

299
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,960
But the big thing is, when we turn around
to the convenience store,

300
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,249
- that was just an empty parking lot.
- Yeah, that was nothing.

301
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,086
All the billboards are computer-generated.
This was all built.

302
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,242
This literally didn't exist,
the convenience store,

303
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,086
and we completely built it
because we were gonna destroy it.

304
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,481
Which leads us to a shout-out
to Christopher Spellman.

305
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,722
Chris Spellman, our production designer.

306
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,049
That gentleman's name was Yohance.
I'll never forget that

307
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,770
'cause I thought it was
an interesting name.

308
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,889
Not as much of his acting got in as I would
have liked, 'cause he did a good job.

309
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,770
In the movie, when we shot it,
we had more of a bit

310
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,844
where we established certain people
in the store as being good or bad.

311
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,811
Yohance is getting ice cream
for his girlfriend and he just won't quit

312
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,609
'cause he loves her so damn much.

313
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,640
And there was a priest,
and there was another bit.

314
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,648
And so there was a little more of like,

315
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,609
"This guy's good,
that's why he's getting sucked up."

316
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,844
But then we realized we didn't need that
for the time we had.

317
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,287
I can't remember the cashier's name.
She was excellent.

318
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,203
She was very funny.

319
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,889
And this is something. When I get stoned,
I do get cash-register-lady anxiety

320
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,010
and I think that
needs to be addressed in some capacity.

321
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,286
I want you to get to know these guys.

322
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,044
That's never gonna happen
if you don't put in any...

323
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,010
Now, this part was fun to watch
'cause it's the first time we realized

324
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,448
we could scare the living shit
out of people in a movie.

325
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,961
- Something we had never really done before.
- Yeah, that worked.

326
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,485
It worked really well.

327
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,769
Now, all that stuff you're seeing
in the background is all CG.

328
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,922
All those palm trees swaying around
and dancing...

329
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,322
- The billboards are fake.
- These flares are all fake.

330
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,562
If you watch a lot of these movies,
the flares they do are fake.

331
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,723
- In Superman, in Star Trek...
- Yeah, Star Trek, they're probably all fake.

332
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,247
They are all added in post-production.
They're computer-generated.

333
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,121
Something that
only a few people have noticed.

334
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,164
You'll see in the backboard,
a billboard for Ninja Rapist.

335
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,323
Yeah... Background. That's behind Jay.

336
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,643
We like to come up with fake movie posters
that we never show to anybody,

337
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,841
and that was one of them.

338
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:40,246
Yeah, we thought it was a funny fake movie
that was coming to theaters next summer.

339
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,527
On the other billboard
was one of our editors.

340
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,648
Assistant editor.

341
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:50,446
Yeah, when we were making Green Hornet,
the production designer told us,

342
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,808
"if you're gonna build something,
you should destroy it."

343
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,690
And that's what we did
with a lot of the sets in the movie.

344
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,082
Pretty much everything we built,
we ended up destroying.

345
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,686
Including this convenience store.
Like that.

346
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,209
And that was actually
our visual effects supervisor Paul

347
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,649
who got hit by that car, which was nice.

348
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,210
This whole shot is extended.

349
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,203
It just ends,
but we make it look like it keeps going.

350
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,524
All the fires are added in post,
the blocks in the background are added,

351
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,122
the entire street going up the block
in front of us is added.

352
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,841
That literallyjust dropped
off into nothing.

353
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,161
There's a lot of visual effects
that were fun to do.

354
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,402
It was amazing to see
how much you could fill out the shots.

355
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,562
The sky, we made that orange.
That wasn't orange.

356
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,802
- All that stuff, the hill again.
- The Hollywood sign.

357
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,405
The house is a visual effect.

358
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,724
When you said, "Dropped off into nothing,"
you meant the traffic sign just vanishes?

359
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,007
No, the whole street, it was just black.

360
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,447
There was no street lights,
there was no even houses up that block.

361
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,646
It was just fields.

362
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,724
I thought you were referring to
one of the mistakes we made.

363
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,927
These days were stressful when we had
all the people there and the extras

364
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,721
and there was 20 famous people on set
at the same time.

365
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,691
It was like throwing a party
at James Franco's house.

366
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,569
A party where you don't get to drink

367
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,927
and we have to organize everything
and keep cleaning.

368
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,890
- I drank the whole time.
- You did not.

369
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,442
- I drank yo' dick, son.
- You didn't.

370
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,681
This scene was...
I remember thinking, "This better work.

371
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,569
"If it doesn't seem real,

372
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,928
"and Jay actually saw blue lights
and is actually freaked out,

373
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:29,444
"and if this scene's ridiculous,
the whole fucking movie ain't gonna work."

374
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,171
'Cause this is a scene where it gets weird,
where it collides.

375
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,040
The supernatural world and the party world.

376
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:39,169
What I always think about with this
scene is it seems like you're lying,

377
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,642
and then we just never get back into that and
don't address it for the rest of the movie.

378
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,009
We had a version where I later admit that I
did see the blue lights and I say that...

379
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,881
- it was just so long ago, no one gave a shit.
- No one gave a fuck, which was interesting.

380
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,764
What I always think about,
which is mundane,

381
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,481
is that Franco specifically wanted
to hold a Fanta this whole time.

382
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,565
- He did want a Fanta.
- Maybe he just loves Fanta.

383
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,924
Who doesn't?

384
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,681
An In-N-Out truck is something
that they do at LA parties sometimes,

385
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,042
when a truck shows up
and gives people delicious hamburgers.

386
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:11,326
It's something rich people do.

387
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,721
I've never seen it happen at a party.
I've only had it on a movie set.

388
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,003
I've seen it happen at parties
and it's awesome.

389
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,241
Now, the inside of Franco's house

390
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,322
and the outside of Franco's house
were two different places.

391
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,481
And the backyard.

392
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,087
And the backyard was a different place,
which was confusing.

393
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,209
That whole hill is computer-generated.
We were literally looking at nothing.

394
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,002
Yeah, every fire, the blinking
of the car lights, the cracked road.

395
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,809
But if you look,
you can see a little Paul Rudd

396
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,360
running down the street in that shot.

397
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,767
Do you remember how we came up
with that giant bottle?

398
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,365
I can't remember whose idea it was.

399
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,284
It might have been Shaffir's idea
or someone like that?

400
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:47,648
Maybe Kyle or maybe Paul's idea.

401
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,044
But yeah, the idea came up that he had
a giant, humorous bottle of champagne

402
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:54,930
that he was bringing to Franco's party.

403
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,048
This shot took a long time,
that ground cracking.

404
00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:58,121
Yeah.

405
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,691
Spent some time in a dark room on that one.

406
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,407
This whole pole, too, this took a while.

407
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,845
Segel gets sprayed in the face by blood,

408
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,883
which is one of my favorite parts
of the whole movie.

409
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,681
Yeah, during the production of the film, we
shot him in the face with a blood cannon.

410
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,604
We were so used to spraying blood
on people and doing crazy shit,

411
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,250
we forgot to tell him what was happening.

412
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,527
- And we just shot him with blood.
- And we had to apologize after.

413
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,887
He was like, "You could have given me
a bit of a warning there, dudes."

414
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,681
We shot this whole thing with Michael
actually on a giant crane that lifted him up.

415
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,364
- Yeah, he was 30 feet up.
- He was in the sky.

416
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,566
It was pretty awesome.

417
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,441
That is a completely computer-generated
little Michael Cera there,

418
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,522
which is hilarious to think of.

419
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,801
I remember...

420
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,289
Now, this was all complicated 'cause all
this stuff on the front lawn is one place,

421
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:42,170
and then, right there,
it goes to another place.

422
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,242
- That's us on a set.
- And that's a different one.

423
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,051
We had two walls. A 16-foot and an 8-foot.

424
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:52,126
So, Jason just fell off the 8-foot, but Jay
right here is falling into the 16-foot.

425
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,123
No, that's a stunt guy, though.
That's not him.

426
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,770
I didn't wanna confuse people, Seth.

427
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,683
And that's Jonah running into a fake house.

428
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,001
That's all green screen.

429
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:01,805
That's not green screen,
but that is green screen.

430
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,248
This is the actual front lawn.
That was a fun shot.

431
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,247
Our effects guys, KNB, Howard and Greg,
built this amazing fake head

432
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,166
that Paul just actually stepped on
that popped like a fucking grape.

433
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,368
It was wonderful.

434
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,286
This shot took a long time to get right,
and Martin getting hit with a...

435
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:23,364
Yeah, something about Martin's hair
just made it so difficult.

436
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,363
And this was a disaster.

437
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,363
Franco was laughing at us from day one.

438
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,321
So we had that a sharp rock leverage
cuts Aziz's arm off.

439
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,526
Literally as we were practicing it...

440
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,560
Franco was like,
"That's not how an arm's cut off.

441
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,683
"I was in 127 Hours,
I know how arms come off.

442
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,888
"It would be so much harder
to cut an arm off than that."

443
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,725
And we were like, "Fuck you. It'll work."
And then it didn't.

444
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,930
And then we had to add this wire
popping up and snapping his arm off.

445
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,005
And Franco was laughing
all the way to Francotown,

446
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,969
which he's mayor of.

447
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,726
This is our magic Krumholtz moment.
David Krumholtz at his best.

448
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,649
We've been good friends a very long time.

449
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,644
We were in Freaks and Geeks together.
He's in an episode.

450
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,684
So, I've known him
since I was around 17 years old.

451
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,923
He was my first friend,
him, Jay and Martin when I came to LA.

452
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,847
So I found it extra funny to put him, Jay
and Martin in a hole and let them all die.

453
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,010
Some satisfaction there.

454
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,445
It was satisfactory.

455
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,569
It's just funny that Jay's probably closest
with Dave out of everybody in the movie.

456
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,722
That's true, and he lets him die.

457
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,849
It was just a funny joke for us to do
'cause I feel like there are so many movies

458
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,684
where someone pulls someone
out of a hole like that,

459
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,207
and it would be fucking impossible.
You would drop them instantly.

460
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,527
I could pull Shug. I have a friend
named Shug who weighs 100 pounds.

461
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,329
Yeah, she weighs 100 pounds.
I can pull her up.

462
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,404
I could probably pull my wife up enough
that she could climb up me,

463
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,561
but I couldn't pull a man up.

464
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,450
No, if you fell down a hole and we were
in that situation, you're fucking dead.

465
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,521
Yeah, you're dead.

466
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,443
I'm dead. I couldn't pull my own
body weight over that cliff.

467
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,648
Yeah, I couldn't do one chin-up.
Are you fucking kidding me?

468
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,210
I couldn't do what Jay just did.

469
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,124
I can do two chin-ups,
so I might be able to get out of that.

470
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,690
This is a purely computer-generated hole.

471
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,769
All the sidewalk... This shot took a while.

472
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,970
We kept saying, "More smoke! More smoke!
Integrate the smoke! More smoke!"

473
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,089
And eventually, we ran out of money.
So that's what we were left with.

474
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,170
We had two modes for the house
'cause we didn't shoot it all in order.

475
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,242
So, we had the broken house
and the non-broken house,

476
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,529
and we could pull wall pieces off
and put cracked wall pieces on.

477
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,887
That was a bit of a pain.

478
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,203
This scene
we wanted to feel crazy and frantic.

479
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,763
Our visual idea for the whole movie was
that you were in the house with the guys.

480
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,402
We didn't want a lot of shots
that were too stylistically outside

481
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,849
what a person's regular perspective
would be.

482
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,244
We wanted it to feel like you were just
literally one of the guys in the house,

483
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:46,761
that you were stuck in the house with them.

484
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,604
So we tried to do
a lot of over-the-shoulder shots.

485
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,366
We wanted to have a lot of the guys
in a lot of the shots

486
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,331
just to make use of the fact
that we had them all.

487
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,405
So, that was generally our thought process.

488
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,361
Or what little thought process we had
about how the movie should look.

489
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,724
We watched Apocalypse Now a lot, too,

490
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,407
just as far as the golden-hot
lighting that comes in.

491
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,121
That dude was not happy with us,
I'll tell you that much.

492
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,043
That's all I was thinking of.

493
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,409
We wanted him to say that
Barack Obama was dead, and Mitt Romney,

494
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,164
'cause we didn't know
who was gonna win the election.

495
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,687
Yeah, we were shooting before the election,
and he's become a real newscaster.

496
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,206
- And we were like, "Yeah..."
- "Right now, you're an actor

497
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,683
"and we want you to say
that Barack Obama is dead."

498
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,566
The TV said stay here.
It said stay in your homes.

499
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,088
We had a hard time getting
this titty-fuck joke out.

500
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,321
It was a zinger.

501
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,721
It was real humdinger!

502
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,400
They'll get Clooney, Sandra Bullock...

503
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,368
Jonah's character was largely his idea.
That earring was a pretty wonderful choice.

504
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,488
That was his idea. It kept falling off.

505
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,483
We tried to convince him
to actually pierce his ears.

506
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,403
And he had an ear piercing earlier in life.

507
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,324
Yeah, so, we were like, "Just do it, dude,"
and he almost did it.

508
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,768
And then,
he made probably the wise decision

509
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,002
of not actually getting
a giant diamond earring.

510
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,527
- I think it was irresponsible of him.
- Yeah, maybe a little bit.

511
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,682
Maybe a little bit
irresponsible of all of us.

512
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,127
This towel continuity
got difficult at times.

513
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,369
Yeah, that was...
I want to say it was a mistake. It wasn't.

514
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,047
It wasn't. It's awesome. The towel works.
The towel stays.

515
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:24,841
I think we got to give a big shout-out
to Jonathan Watson right now.

516
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,568
Our first AD. 'Cause this joke was his idea.
Good call, Evan.

517
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,371
So we always had it that this helicopter
crashed and the blade came through,

518
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,444
and in our version,
we shot a bunch of different versions.

519
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,524
In one version, Craig was just standing
there and the joke was he didn't even move.

520
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,529
One was he hopped back like in a cartoon.

521
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,530
Yeah, like in a cartoon.
He made his body into a "C" shape.

522
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:49,369
And then, Watson, Jonathan Watson
had the idea that this would happen.

523
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,329
Essentially, he described
it exactly like this.

524
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,001
He acts like something terrible happened

525
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,691
and then he holds his finger up
and you see there's just one tiny scratch.

526
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,240
And it's one of the biggest laughs
in the entire movie.

527
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,369
And I'll tell you a weird little fact.
That drop of blood took a lot of work.

528
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,523
- That was computer-generated.
- And it was not easy to do.

529
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,566
Ozzy Osbourne gave us this song to use,
which was awesome.

530
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,804
This scene was so-so,
and we couldn't figure out how to fix it.

531
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,611
- And then our zeditor.
- Our "zeditor"?

532
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,487
Zene, our editor,
who I will forever call our "zeditor"

533
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,286
after making that mistake I just made,

534
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:29,251
he did this cool remix thing of War Pigs.

535
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:34,804
And Ozzy Osbourne himself came
to watch the movie to clear its use

536
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,010
and Ozzy loved it and he let us use it.

537
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,765
Franco painted those paintings. We should
mention some of the other artists.

538
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,411
Shepard Fairey gave us the right
to use his art.

539
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,209
He did that Obey piece
that gets the helicopter blade.

540
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:48,089
Of course, the guy who painted with Franco.

541
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:53,366
Josh Smith did the paintings with Franco,
Terry Richardson, Ron English.

542
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,727
FAILE did those paintings
with all the little squares.

543
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,286
Ron English did the titty pear painting.

544
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:01,523
To be fair, we and the production
department created that penis.

545
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,165
Yeah, that was our thing.

546
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,720
Sour Diesel,
three and a half grams Grand Master Kush,

547
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,962
one ounce of 'shrooms, 15 pills of ecstasy,

548
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,042
a porno mag, a baseball bat,

549
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,487
and the video camera
from the movie 27 Hours.

550
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,050
127 Hours.

551
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,689
127 Hours.

552
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,969
And a functioning revolver
from the movie Flyboys.

553
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,451
Old Faithful.

554
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,851
- Jesus.
- Thing's real.

555
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,729
- No, I kept this from the movie.
- Yeah.

556
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,370
- This is an actual revolver.
- I see.

557
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,442
Franco, that's very uncomfortable.
Could you put that down...

558
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,490
All the props that Franco has, like...
That is actually the actual gun...

559
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,483
Yeah, that's literally
the gun from Flyboys.

560
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,801
- That is the camera from 127 Hours.
- That is actually the camera...

561
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,646
When Jay and Craig go next door,
that's the backpack from 127 Hours.

562
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,491
- It's the actual Pineapple Express bag.
- Yes, the bag from Pineapple.

563
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,688
And headband. We keep it real.

564
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,331
This whole gun thing
literally just came from...

565
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,526
This was all improvised.

566
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,365
Us telling Franco
to just throw the gun to Jonah.

567
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,370
And sometimes...
We'd already shot this shot you see here

568
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,728
before Jonah started doing this.

569
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,007
And then, after he started doing it,

570
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,687
we had to go back and shoot it again,
that wide shot,

571
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,606
because he hadn't done it yet
and we needed to match.

572
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,843
It sounds interesting,
but it's super uncool when it happens.

573
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,123
Exactly. And this shot here,
we had to go back and do my coverage again.

574
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,761
It feels like a failure on your behalf,

575
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,368
but you have to do it because
you gotta roll with those improv punches.

576
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,650
That's Seth and Evan's guide to filmmaking.

577
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,209
We keep saying this and I feel like
when this comes out, it'll still be true.

578
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,884
The people at Milky Way
haven't sent us anything.

579
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,804
Yeah, seriously, Milky Way,
if you're listening to this,

580
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,043
this is literally five of
the most famous comedians on Earth

581
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,122
talking about how delicious Milky Way is,

582
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,242
how good Milky Way is,
how much they want Milky Way...

583
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,891
It could have been a Snickers.
It could have been a goddamn Snickers.

584
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,405
It could been a Mars bar.

585
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,927
- We chose Milky Way out of fucking respect.
- It could have been a Kit Kat.

586
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,964
But we chose Milky Way.
And what have you chose to do? Nothing.

587
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,931
- Just send us a 6-pack of chocolate bars.
- Send me one goddamn Milky Way.

588
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,164
- You can send us one to share.
- Yeah, we'll share a fucking Milky Way.

589
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,241
Where's our Milky Way?

590
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,084
It can be a mini Halloween-sized one.
Just something.

591
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,242
A fun-size Milky Way?

592
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,765
I wrote the people at Naked Juice a letter,

593
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,763
and they sent me back
a free bottle of Naked Juice.

594
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,368
Literally, this is the most Milky Way
aggrandizing movie in the history of film.

595
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,562
We're going to do to Milky Way
what E.T. did to Reese's Pieces.

596
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,405
Actually, now I'm feeling,
"Where's our Nutella?"

597
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,005
Where's our fucking Nutella?

598
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,730
Where's our taco shells,
where's our skim milk?

599
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,928
Arrowhead hasn't
contributed anything to us.

600
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,731
Yeah,
we serve Arrowhead on our movie sets.

601
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,088
More than anything, it's amazing
that those products let us use them.

602
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,448
Yeah, they'll regret it in a few days
when the movie comes out.

603
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,043
Franco sleeping with the noise-canceling
headphones and the eye mask

604
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,841
- always seemed to get a good giggle.
- People always seem to enjoy that.

605
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,445
I don't know if Franco actually does that.

606
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,807
I picture him having eye masks
and headphones...

607
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,326
I picture him sleeping in gravity boots.

608
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,402
He hangs upside down, I believe.

609
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,609
I picture him having one of those big,
silver Fortress-of-Solitude-type beds

610
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,808
from the original Superman movie.

611
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,962
That always looked like
a comfortable bed to me.

612
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:02,881
Hey-

613
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,086
A lot of good improv in this scene
that didn't get used.

614
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,521
Yeah, this scene,
we just thought would be best short.

615
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,321
This is emotional pipe we're laying.
We're laying more pipe here.

616
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,925
Emotional pipe?

617
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,008
We used to all take naps there
whenever we could.

618
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,845
Mostly Franco and Craig and Jonah
and the other actors.

619
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,328
It's true. Because we were all
on set so much together in this house...

620
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,802
And because if you go outside,
since it's July in New Orleans,

621
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,724
you become disgustingly drenched in sweat
within 10 seconds.

622
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,886
Yeah, people would hang out
in Franco's house a lot.

623
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,691
And we would hang out in the same area
as where we shot the movie.

624
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,922
Which I guess means we succeeded
at what we wanted,

625
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,963
which is to make a house
that's a douche-y house,

626
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,161
- that you kind of want to hang in.
- But also a house you want to hang out in.

627
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,131
Yeah, that's how Franco does it.

628
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,850
Every time they stop rolling,

629
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,207
he sits down
and he just conserves his energy.

630
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,011
You got to conserve energy.
That's what I'm doing right now.

631
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,449
DMX tweeted...

632
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,285
If you're listening to this in the future,

633
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,762
Twitter is a technology
that was popular in 2013

634
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:07,442
where people could type
140-character messages and put them out.

635
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,928
DMX, the rap artist,

636
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,967
tweeted out our movie trailer
because we reference him here.

637
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,206
Which was exciting.

638
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,760
It makes me think,
"Maybe DMX knows who I am."

639
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,683
And that notion is exciting to me.

640
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,246
Maybe he knows who I am
and doesn't know who you are.

641
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,964
You could be right.

642
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,804
The audience gets a little scared here
which is also nice.

643
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,009
Craig is digitally blacked
out in that scene,

644
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,890
'cause, lighting-wise,
you can't really achieve what we did there.

645
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,646
- Maybe you can and we're just not good.
- Maybe we just didn't...

646
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,486
But we digitally darkened him out
for the reveal.

647
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,088
This joke was always funny
and I'm always glad this worked,

648
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,481
where we have Jonah appear out of nowhere
and scare people.

649
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,050
Yeah.
It was one of those things that it worked,

650
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,885
- but when we added the noise...
- It really worked much better.

651
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:50,927
Henry Jackman...

652
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,447
It's now when we say thank you
to Henry Jackman, our composer.

653
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,000
He's a wonderful man. British man.

654
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,964
We have a Commonwealth connection...

655
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,088
- We had a Commonwealth connection.
- ...that was undeniable.

656
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,049
We would bring it up all the time.

657
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,122
We'd sing God Save The Queen.

658
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,650
He's the composer who seems to
laugh the most while working.

659
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,767
He does! And he totally...

660
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,207
We told him there could be
no rhyme or reason to the music.

661
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,248
Sometimes it would have to
be big and orchestral.

662
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:20,281
Sometimes it would have to
be hip hop-y and horror music-y.

663
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,081
And sometimes it would have to be...
It had to be all sorts of stuff.

664
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,449
And he was like, "Okay, great.
Sounds cool. No rules. I like that."

665
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,566
This whole thing was improvised.
The entire...

666
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,645
The scene ended in the script when Jonah
sat down, but then we improvised.

667
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,803
- I'm glad docking made it into this movie.
- Yeah. It had to get into something.

668
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,928
This might be the first movie
with a docking joke.

669
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,241
Docking, for those of you who don't know,

670
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,005
is a sexual term wherein

671
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,200
an uncircumcised man

672
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,768
rolls his foreskin over the tip
of another man's penis.

673
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,370
Docking, ladies and gentlemen.

674
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,762
I just don't buy that
that would be pleasurable.

675
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,241
It's more of a "say you
did it" kind of a thing.

676
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,810
- We can try it right here in the studio.
- No.

677
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,326
We don't have the foreskin for it
and you know it.

678
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,448
It's true. We don't.
I have a pretty loose foreskin.

679
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,601
We need Kyle.

680
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,445
We need our one non-circumcised friend.

681
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,525
It's true. Jonah says,
"Are you going to dock into me?"

682
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,851
Jay's half Jewish, half Christian.
Who knows if he can dock?

683
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,844
He can dock himself.
That's what that means.

684
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaking of docking, here's Danny McBride.

685
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,685
Danny McBride's docking
into this movie right here.

686
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,205
This scene was a motherfucker.

687
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,608
Not to film. Not to edit.
But to get the right song for.

688
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,002
Yeah. We went through a lot.
And I'm very pleased we wound up with this.

689
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,770
It's fun. It's hilarious.

690
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,446
I just love Cypress Hill. Who doesn't?

691
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,484
I feel like it's also time to mention
our big musical faux pas.

692
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,723
We thought it would be cool
if this music had all gospel music.

693
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,569
If the movie had all gospel music.

694
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,883
- And we tried it. It didn't work.
- You fucking idiot.

695
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,928
Yeah, it didn't work at all.

696
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,368
And so we replaced it
with all sorts of different kinds of music.

697
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,762
Lots of music from the
late '90s, early 2000s,

698
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,770
as you watch it, right?

699
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,606
We also filmed a gospel choir singing.
Videotaped it all.

700
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,205
Maybe you should put them on the DVD.

701
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,691
Why wouldn't...

702
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,484
Yeah. Why wouldn't we?

703
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,168
Well, we'll see how that resolves itself
when you've purchased this DVD.

704
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,721
If you're listening to
this, you have the DVD.

705
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,280
This was Danny's first scene he shot,

706
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,407
which was funny because he had a lot
of zingers prepared, I would say.

707
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:31,646
And we were all a little nervous

708
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:34,371
'cause to us,
Danny is the funniest dude ever.

709
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,204
And he made up all this shit.

710
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,931
Including the "James Franco didn't suck
any dick" line,

711
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,163
which, when he said,
was one of the funniest things I heard.

712
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:44,242
Do you know if he came
with that one on the day, or if he...

713
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,890
No, he just made it up.

714
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,170
'Cause it started with, "James Franco
didn't suck any dick? That's a first."

715
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,568
Even Jonah's like
"You didn't suck any dick? That's a first."

716
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,449
And then it evolved. Then he got it to,

717
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,329
"James Franco didn't suck
any dick last night?

718
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,084
"Now I know y'all are tripping."

719
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,044
Which is a very well-formed joke
on Danny McBride's part.

720
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,083
This joke was always funny.
"The fatalities."

721
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,481
Dannyjust kills it in this scene.

722
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,206
This scene was very...
This was the first scene we released.

723
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,840
It got whatever... We don't know
how the movie's going to do yet.

724
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,041
But let's pretend it does great.

725
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,806
So this is what led us on the road
to our massive early buzz

726
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,044
that led us to be the box office giant
that we ultimately became.

727
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,126
Thank God.

728
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,282
Jonah, of course,
is an Academy Award-nominated person.

729
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,170
James Franco, also
an Academy Award-nominated person.

730
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,566
Two out of the six main actors in this
movie are Academy Award-nominated people.

731
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,521
And you won a Stony.
And Franco won two Stonys.

732
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,449
I won a Stony Award.

733
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:45,010
I was nominated for
an MTV Movie Award in 2004.

734
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,564
I did not win.

735
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:48,847
Shit.

736
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,084
The guy who's about to pop his head
through this door is named Brian Huskey.

737
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,330
If you need someone to
make something funny that you didn't write,

738
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,244
- call Brian Huskey!
- Hire Brian Huskey!

739
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:00,925
'Cause he improvises very well.

740
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,881
Now, Brian Huskey
is somewhat recognizable.

741
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,930
He's in some commercials
and he's on Veep sometimes.

742
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,561
And we actually had him film a take or two
where he's like,

743
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,803
"I'm Brian Huskey. I'm on Veep.
I'm in some commercials,"

744
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,488
just in case he became recognizable
in the time we made the movie,

745
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,766
or when we screened the movie.

746
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,286
People are like, "I know that guy.
It's the guy in those commercials."

747
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,250
We didn't want to ignore
the reality of the movie

748
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,607
which is that everyone is themselves.

749
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,682
The truth is we,
at first, didn't want to hire him

750
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,250
because we thought
he was too recognizable.

751
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,120
But there was nobody who did it
even close to as good as him.

752
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,168
Yeah, he was very funny.

753
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,280
My ass hurts.
But I'm going to slug through it.

754
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,486
Our casting director, Francine Maisler,

755
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,803
made actors punch their head
through a piece of paper,

756
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,963
so we only ever saw
their auditions head-only.

757
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,566
Yeah. We were in New Orleans,
so they had to send their auditions on tape

758
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:55,761
and we just saw their heads.

759
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,041
And Brian was heads above the rest.

760
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,122
- Heads and tails above the rest?
- No.

761
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,804
- Tails wouldn't make sense.
- Just heads above the...

762
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,201
- I get what you did then.
- Yes.

763
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,284
Now, this head...

764
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,486
I almost just threw up.

765
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,360
- This head was a head that KNB built.
- Oh, God!

766
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,886
It was empty. It had a
reservoir inside of it

767
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,606
that you could literally fill
with a gallon of blood.

768
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:17,920
Yeah, we would be like, "Reload!"

769
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,480
And so we just filled the head with blood
and kicked it around.

770
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,610
That shot was achieved by putting one of
our cameras inside a giant sphere

771
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:27,963
that was roughly the size of
a large beach ball.

772
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,930
And the actors,
we would just roll it to each other

773
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,002
as we screamed like fucking idiots.

774
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,923
And at video village,
which is where you watch the playback,

775
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,526
as the director
and the director of photography,

776
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,761
we couldn't see it.

777
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,003
- So we just stood there and heard...
- Yeah.

778
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,764
We would have to come in
and see how they did.

779
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,330
- They did good.
- Yeah, we did very well.

780
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,607
More of those shots made it in
than anyone thought.

781
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,762
Did you see on the DVD stuff
Brandon saying that

782
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,286
- when we told him...
- That he thought it was a stupid idea!

783
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,800
- Fuck you, Brandon!
- A stupid idea!

784
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,604
We regret hiring you!

785
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,445
- Look what you say.
- We don't regret it.

786
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,285
You bite the teat that milks you.

787
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,041
You're bungling your sayings.

788
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,363
I'm not, Evan.
This is all the accurate sayings.

789
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,405
- This used to be a...
- Now, this was a giant...

790
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,767
This scene was one of the biggest scenes
that we cut down.

791
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,330
- It's on the DVD. You can see it.
- You can go see it.

792
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,129
Unless we cut it tomorrow,

793
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,565
- but I don't think we will.
- From the DVD.

794
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:17,641
Time will tell.

795
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:19,927
That is all CG.
Everything out the window is CG.

796
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,486
We're literally looking at nothing.

797
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,447
All that stuff is fake. That's all fake.

798
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,568
- Fake flare.
- All fake.

799
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,922
It's all lies, people!

800
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,641
This was a big win for us. This idea.

801
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:35,291
This really helped us in telling our tale.

802
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,408
Yeah, we set up this confessional room

803
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:42,008
where we can record confessionals
easily with this little camera.

804
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,321
And this straight up... We just discussed
The Real World and said,

805
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,165
"We should just do it like The Real World.
They're stuck in a house."

806
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:51,484
it was also based on Paranormal Activity
and 127 Hours, a little bit, also.

807
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,562
And my personal confessional collection.

808
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,361
Yes, and me and Evan keep personal diaries
of our own lives.

809
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,451
And so we had each actor
record tons and tons of stuff

810
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:04,646
in these little confessionals.

811
00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:06,722
There's at least an hour
of each guy on these.

812
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,165
And we use it
throughout the movie really well.

813
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,649
Os Gemeos are artists whose work
is featured behind Franco

814
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:13,926
by the hookah.

815
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,480
They're from Brazil. They're wonderful.

816
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,565
I appreciate them giving us permission
to use their work in the movie.

817
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,406
We used to have a lot more footage

818
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,881
where he masturbated
on some of James' books.

819
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,361
Yeah. We had a lot more Danny
doing gross shit in these confessionals,

820
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,441
but we cut it.

821
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:29,726
There's one where he was
like, "Look at this.

822
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,451
"There's a place in Vietnam
called Phuoc Binh."

823
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,167
- Which is true.
- Which is true.

824
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,365
This scene was largely improvised.

825
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,760
We just talked about
what our different theories should be.

826
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,041
Jonah made up this Sinkhole de Mayo thing.

827
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,249
The picture at the back of the room
of a telephone wire,

828
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,600
that's Seth's photo.

829
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,889
I took that wonderful photo
of telephone wires.

830
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,247
It looks like a cross.
That's why we put it back there.

831
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,687
You should try to sell it now
through this format.

832
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,445
- How much? How much?
- How much?

833
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,170
How much would you sell that for?
All of it.

834
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:01,129
Four million dollars.

835
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,690
- That's on sale for $4 million.
- Wait, no, no, no.

836
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,649
Four million euros.

837
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:06,324
- Four million euros?
- Yes.

838
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,606
- Exclusively.
- It could be yours.

839
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,809
Just send your money
to Sony Pictures Studios.

840
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,282
It's on Washington
near Madison and Overland.

841
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,723
That's the Rapture,
those are the gigantic beams of blue light.

842
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,121
"And there will be a great
mountain burning in fire."

843
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,647
I mean, the Hollywood Hills
are literally engulfed in flames

844
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:28,131
as we sit here right now.

845
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,771
The Hollywood Hills ain't no mountain.
It's a hill.

846
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,286
Takes about 10 minutes to get across
that motherfucker with no traffic.

847
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,566
- Coldwater.
- I take Laurel Canyon.

848
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,570
- What's great about our composer is...
- He's an ace of all trades.

849
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,406
He's comfortable with everything,
which was very nice.

850
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,851
"...having seven heads,

851
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,691
"that old serpent called
the devil and Satan,

852
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,641
"which deceiveth the whole world,
was released onto the earth."

853
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,171
That's a computer-generated image.

854
00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:55,050
Yeah, we had a sillier image.
We had a lot of trouble.

855
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,043
I personally drew it, I
think, the last one.

856
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,884
No, Jen drew the last one.

857
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,405
It just was too cartoony.

858
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:05,003
No disrespect to Jen.

859
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,201
People really listen to these
and get insulted if you say bad things.

860
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,884
Is that true?

861
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,242
Have you ever listened
to one of our audio commentaries?

862
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,560
- No.
- I haven't either.

863
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,166
I've listened to Starship Troopers
and The Shining,

864
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:18,163
and those are the only ones
I've ever listened to in my life.

865
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:19,480
We should make this...

866
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,528
And the making of
the highway fight in Matrix 2.

867
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,285
- Yeah, I watched that. That was great.
- That was fucking cool.

868
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,648
That's a great behind-the-scenes feature.
Are you kidding me?

869
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:30,610
This is an homage to...
What am I thinking of?

870
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,245
- Don't say it. They'll sue us. Don't say it!
- Don't say it?

871
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,408
We tried to clear it.

872
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,209
- Tried to clear what?
- Exactly.

873
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,682
This scene is about something else.
Let's talk about it.

874
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,684
This is us being bored in the house.

875
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,124
That's real cheese
bought at a real grocery store.

876
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:50,841
Come on, Danny!

877
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,521
- You licked your finger.
- Come on, man.

878
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,123
We always had the idea that Franco...

879
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:57,242
I mean, Franco actually came up
with the idea

880
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,209
that he's obsessed with me
and in love with me.

881
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,282
And then we started looking for ways
that that could play in.

882
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:06,531
And the idea that he starts sneaking
me food was entertaining to us.

883
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,685
This is one of my... I threw the line out,
"What's cheese without a few crackers?"

884
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,967
That's one of my proudest in my life.

885
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,123
And I believe it was my idea
to shove the crackers...

886
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,044
- That's fucking teamwork.
- That's teamwork, man!

887
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,964
That's how our partnership works, people.

888
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,647
That, of course, is a lot of drugs.

889
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:26,848
And I don't recommend any kid
do all those drugs.

890
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,606
Jay kills me here that he goes back
to the stupid look on your face.

891
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,209
We overdid this at first.

892
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,810
Let's talk about Gangnam Style.

893
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,407
Now, am I proud
that Gangnam Style is in this movie?

894
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:40,641
I don't know.

895
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:42,324
But here's what I do know.

896
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,050
We tried Gangnam Style.

897
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,282
We started to not like Gangnam Style.

898
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,125
We tried a million other songs
to replace Gangnam Style.

899
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,440
In theater, we tried it in theater.

900
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:51,806
- We showed it to audiences.
- And what did we learn?

901
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,446
People fucking love Gangnam Style.

902
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,250
There's a reason
it's one of the biggest songs ever.

903
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,527
One billion people can't be wrong.

904
00:42:58,600 --> 00:42:59,681
One billion?

905
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,081
- Ten billion?
- At least 15 billion people.

906
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,764
By the time you're listening to this
in the future,

907
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,684
Gangnam Style could be the fucking
national anthem for all we know.

908
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,491
This was the most fun
we've ever had doing anything.

909
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,767
- This Pineapple Express 2.
- Yeah, this was fun.

910
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,446
We had written this into the script
and then we cut it out

911
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,091
'cause we thought it was maybe too...

912
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,442
Rubbing our own rhubarb
just a little too much.

913
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,127
We were trying to ride the line between
self-referential and self-indulgent.

914
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,410
And we felt we were afraid maybe this was
falling into the self-indulgent land.

915
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,403
Only you know, person watching.

916
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,041
Only you're the judge, guy
listening to this. Or girl.

917
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,800
- But then Franco...
- Woody Harrelson saw the movie yesterday.

918
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,126
He was not offended, I hear.

919
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:39,326
- No.
- It's good to know.

920
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:40,811
But then we told Franco,

921
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,167
"We have this stupid idea
where we make Pineapple Express 2."

922
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:46,642
And his eyes lit up like
a child on Christmas.

923
00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:48,802
And he's like, "We have to film that!"

924
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,646
We're like, "No, I don't think we have time."
He's like, "No, we have to. We have to."

925
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:54,768
- And he just...
- He willed it into being.

926
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,923
You can't say no to James Franco.
I fucking double dare you.

927
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,490
When he starts smiling, it's over.

928
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,531
Once he flashes those pearly whites
and those steely blues, or browns...

929
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,489
Those pooey browns.

930
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,762
- Those pearly whites and those...
- This shot made me laugh.

931
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,521
- The slow motion of us coming together.
- You slowed yourself down.

932
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,651
This shit's the dumbest stuff
we've ever done. Right here. Right now.

933
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:15,961
I feel like if I was to redo this,

934
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:20,250
I would have had more references to what
ultimately happened at the end of our movie.

935
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,846
No! More references... No.

936
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,081
- No.
- No?

937
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,491
- That's pushing it.
- You think?

938
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,682
- People might have caught on.
- Maybe.

939
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,728
Nick's here and he's got a ton of food.

940
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,404
- What does he have?
- I don't know.

941
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,249
- What is this?
- It looks incredible.

942
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,966
Is it a big tray of stuff?
Is that Baja Fresh or something?

943
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,690
Nick's responsible for a lot of this DVD.

944
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,001
But he's also very selfish
and only gets food for himself

945
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,320
whenever he has the opportunity.

946
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,408
A giant tray of food, nonetheless.

947
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,084
Here comes Emma.

948
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,602
We wanted to put
the Harry Potter twinkle in there.

949
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,048
But we didn't even try.
We knew that wasn't going to happen.

950
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,565
We wouldn't have been able to afford it.

951
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,051
Do you remember how it goes?
We can't even jingle it.

952
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,921
We can'tjingle it. We
can'tjingle thatjingle!

953
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,167
You people play it in your head.
You know how it goes.

954
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:03,447
Picture in your head
that Harry Potter song.

955
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,488
I am Harry Potter

956
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,528
That's how we'll supplement it.

957
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,086
Harry Potter music, yeah!

958
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,367
That could be the cheapest way ever
to put music in a movie, is to just...

959
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,130
People know the songs.

960
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,281
We don't have to say...

961
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,210
I'm a killer queen
Dynamite laser-beam

962
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,084
- You can't even do that. Just be like...
- Can't do that?

963
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,242
- No, you got to be like, "Killer queen!"
- 'Cause I said the words?

964
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,403
No, just like, "And now,
Killer Queen plays."

965
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,767
- In your head.
- And then you just go...

966
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,047
And then, yeah, just like...

967
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,086
Just maybe the words
on the bottom of the screen flash.

968
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,686
Now Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin
is playing in your head. Picture it.

969
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,842
And you just hear the ticker.

970
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,565
That could work.
Maybe we've uncovered something, people.

971
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:49,486
So fucking tight.

972
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,841
We'll be right out here, okay?

973
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:54,361
Fuck are you guys doing out here?

974
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,086
You know, we didn't initially
have a woman in the movie.

975
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,481
We had some women at the initial party.

976
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,131
And then we were afraid
to have a woman come back

977
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,521
because it's about a bunch of guys.

978
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:10,164
And as Danny Boyle's brilliant masterpiece
28 Days Later... proved us anything,

979
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,404
it's that when you have one woman
in an apocalyptic situation,

980
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:14,766
shit gets rape-y.

981
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,047
And whenever people said,

982
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,480
"You should have a woman come back.
Have a woman in there."

983
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:20,965
We'd be like,
"This is just going to feel rape-y.

984
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:22,166
"We don't want it to feel rape-y."

985
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:23,571
And people would respond, "You're right.

986
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:24,766
- "Don't do it."
- And they were like, "You're right."

987
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,606
And then Ange Giannetti,
our studio executive at Sony...

988
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:30,131
And people should realize

989
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,680
studios don't give you the kind of help
we're about to explain.

990
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,531
We said,
"We can't have a woman come back.

991
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:36,647
"It will feel rape-y."

992
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:40,850
And she said, "You know what?
Then make it rape-y! Go with it!"

993
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:42,410
Yeah. She said, "Make the rape-y a joke.

994
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,448
"Make it embrace the rape-y-ness."

995
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,409
And much to our shock,
we did and it worked.

996
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,642
We thought, "You know what?
Maybe we can embrace the rape-y-ness

997
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:50,165
"and make that the joke."

998
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:51,480
And that's what we did.

999
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,564
And I like to think
that this doesn't feel rape-y at all.

1000
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,769
I think the whole joke, merely,
that we're saying

1001
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:02,528
that we're afraid that we'll come off as rape-y,
implies that we would never rape someone.

1002
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,649
There's a chance people see that as rape-y
and we just don't see it for what it is.

1003
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,685
No. I think if you're the type of person
that's so hyper aware of that

1004
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,367
then I think the last thing you'll do
is actually do that.

1005
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:14,487
Obviously.

1006
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,284
- I hope that's what people perceive.
- Yeah.

1007
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,931
I hope that's what people perceive as well.

1008
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:20,771
One who denies it supplies it.

1009
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,842
I know, it's farts, I get it.

1010
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,081
Guys, guys, guys-

1011
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,880
I was right. This was one of those jokes
where we were like,

1012
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,844
"if this joke doesn't work,
we are fucked in the butthole!"

1013
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,684
Yeah, this is like
the period blood in Superbad.

1014
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,489
Yeah, there was no way to cut around it.

1015
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,688
There's no other reason Emma Watson
leaves this house,

1016
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,683
other than overhearing this conversation.

1017
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:41,207
And we needed to have Emma leave
to steal our food,

1018
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,760
or else it made no sense
why we didn't have anything.

1019
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,325
We were totally...

1020
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,802
In hindsight, we could've always had
one of them just eat all the food.

1021
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,291
Yeah, that could have worked.

1022
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:55,366
See? We should have shot that as a safety
in case this whole rape-y thing went sour.

1023
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,920
- Next time.
- But, luckily, it didn't.

1024
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,729
And it seemed to play pretty well.

1025
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,211
I always find that funny how she says that.

1026
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,044
"I heard you talk about
which one of you is gonna rape me."

1027
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,930
- it's a mouthful. We gave her a mouthful.
- She says it so fast.

1028
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,048
Here's the thing. So, no one knew that Seth

1029
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,248
was wearing breakaway glasses
at that moment.

1030
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,642
And we all thought that she just shattered
his nose into a million pieces.

1031
00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:15,529
Yeah, she didn't.

1032
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,331
I will say,
I don't have many skills as an actor.

1033
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,724
One of the skills I do have is I'm pretty
good at pretending that I got hurt.

1034
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,006
I think it's probably because...

1035
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,445
Hey, man. Charlie Chaplin
had the same skill.

1036
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,091
I got hurt a lot as a kid.

1037
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,204
That was a moment we debated heavily.

1038
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,489
- Are we really just going to chop a dick...
- Are we chopping the dick in half?

1039
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:34,925
And we decided, yeah.

1040
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,002
It's the same thing as,
"Are we going to give a demon a dick?"

1041
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,764
In the end the answer is,
"Of course we were."

1042
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,207
If it involves a dick, we said yes.

1043
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,124
It would be amazing if right now
Franco just shot her in the head.

1044
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:48,842
I still think that from that sinkhole
sequence, people think that can happen.

1045
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,285
I know. It's true.

1046
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,840
We just viciously killed
so many people so quickly.

1047
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,483
Hermione just stole all of our shit.

1048
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,244
That joke worked.

1049
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,129
It sure did.

1050
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:02,730
And then Jay suggested
that we all rape her...

1051
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,529
But I like this part.

1052
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,686
This joke, the fucking house bitch joke,
is fucking crazy to me.

1053
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,846
He couldn't sell it more.
It seemed so sincere from him.

1054
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,766
Yeah. To me that's one of
the craziest things anyone said.

1055
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,730
Danny... I can't believe
he actually did that.

1056
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,488
We should have had it in my other nostril
'cause you see it here on this side.

1057
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:27,686
If we had it in the other nostril,

1058
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,411
it would truly be a reveal
by the time it panned over to me.

1059
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,643
I see that not as a failure
upon us as directors,

1060
00:49:33,720 --> 00:49:35,484
but as you failing as an actor.

1061
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,168
I'll take that on myself then.
I'll take that.

1062
00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:41,686
See? It gets a chuckle.

1063
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,330
It would get a bigger laugh...

1064
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,846
We could have gotten a full-blown guffaw
if we'd played our cards right.

1065
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,567
We could have gone from chuckle
to guffaw, maybe even a chortle!

1066
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,442
No way would we have got a chortle.

1067
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,924
Who wants to go first?

1068
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:06,526
We wanted a dramatic scene
where people were pulling shit

1069
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,204
to see who had to do something.

1070
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:09,800
It's in a lot of movies.

1071
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,769
And Craig...

1072
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,361
We thought it would just be funny
if Craig instantly lost.

1073
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,880
That was the joke behind the scene.

1074
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,291
This is one of the few scenes...

1075
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,330
And then everyone reacts
in the worst way possible.

1076
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,526
As always.

1077
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,364
Craig's got a great beard in this movie.

1078
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:26,680
Hey, he's got a great face.

1079
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,047
His eyes are attractive.
His hair's luscious.

1080
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,690
A lot of facial hair in this film.

1081
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,651
This is a... I'm not going to say rip off.

1082
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,731
I'm going to choose to say homage
from a sequence in the movie The Mist,

1083
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:43,249
wherein a gentleman is going to venture out

1084
00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:46,769
and they tie a rope to
him, and he goes out,

1085
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,890
and I believe they just pull back in
a pair of legs, if I'm not mistaken, right?

1086
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,485
That's correct, Seth.

1087
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,528
Which would have been a funny way
for this sequence to end.

1088
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,446
It would be funny if they pulled back
a pair of another guy's legs.

1089
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,046
- Or just, like, a sandwich.
- Yeah.

1090
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,322
Or like something else. A boot. A fish.

1091
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:07,411
I consider this one of
our greatest computer-generated victories.

1092
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:13,442
Yeah, we literally shot this whole thing
with black tarps hanging around a set.

1093
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,364
The only thing that's real is that wall
and I think one of the plants...

1094
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,761
- And Craig.
- That plant and that fire behind him.

1095
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,730
None of that hedge is real.
None of the ash in the air is real.

1096
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,404
This is from the good people at Hammerhead.

1097
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,244
I don't even think the fires are real.
Honestly.

1098
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:26,367
Jamie Dixon.

1099
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,760
I think we just had lights.
I don't think we even had fire.

1100
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,451
- I think we had one. No, you're right.
- No.

1101
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,251
'Cause you can see the light behind it
if you look. The way the light halos.

1102
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,601
We actually didn't even have fire.

1103
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,605
None of the fire is real.
That hedge, all the smoke... I mean...

1104
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,762
- Craig's torso is fake.
- Yeah.

1105
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,527
We should shout-out Modus,
who did our visual effects.

1106
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,489
- This is a Hammerhead moment.
- This is a Hammerhead...

1107
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,289
We'll shout-out Modus
when they're doing the good Modus stuff.

1108
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,529
- I'm going to forget otherwise.
- I won't forget Modus.

1109
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:57,090
All these claw marks and shit are fake.
Digitally...

1110
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:58,525
We used to have a great joke here
where he goes,

1111
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,568
"My name's Darryl. I play Craig..."

1112
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,642
Or was it, "I play Darryl on The Office.
Please don't kill me."

1113
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:05,007
"My name's Craig Robinson.
I play Darryl on The Office."

1114
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:06,844
But we decided to
make this sequence less funny

1115
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:08,285
and more scary and exciting

1116
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,250
because the audience seemed to want to
be scared and excited.

1117
00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:13,006
Not humored.

1118
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,003
- We fucking dropped it! We're sorry!
- You've got the rope, man!

1119
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:16,320
There are some jokes in there.

1120
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:20,928
But with Craig, you want to stay with him
and keep it scarier and more dramatic.

1121
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,760
And this is another thing
where I truly think

1122
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,167
people think the goriest result
is what's going to happen...

1123
00:52:25,240 --> 00:52:27,891
I think people think
Craig's fucking dead right there.

1124
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,485
And then they say,
"There's our friend, Craig."

1125
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,324
"There's Craig. Thank God."

1126
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,528
But then, it's not over!

1127
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,241
This is one of my favorite jokes
in the whole movie.

1128
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,971
Yeah, the knife gag worked out pretty well.

1129
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,929
Jay's reaction is just the best.

1130
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,604
It's like a fucking cartoon moment.

1131
00:52:43,720 --> 00:52:45,722
He looks and then screams.

1132
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,286
The timing of it is very silly.

1133
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,569
I like how Danny just
screams under a table.

1134
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,928
Danny's not dealing with
this situation well.

1135
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,409
He just plugs his ears.

1136
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:58,965
What the fuck was that?

1137
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,407
I don't know what the fuck that was,
but I ain't going back out there.

1138
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:02,561
Craig, you didn't even
get any of the water.

1139
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:03,641
The door was fucked up.

1140
00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:04,846
Damn it, this is so frustrating!

1141
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,081
There's a lot of swearing in this part,
I always think.

1142
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,448
- Do we swear too much, guys?
- No.

1143
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,002
Is it too much profanity? Is it too profane?
Is that our fault?

1144
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,526
If you ever wonder the moment
our partnership ended, it was this.

1145
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,602
It was this moment.

1146
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,648
I think we should go softer, Evan.

1147
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,963
I think we should pack in the profanity.

1148
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:25,761
We're going to have children...

1149
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,002
I like how from this, Franco later says,

1150
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,730
"You always take your shirt off."

1151
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,366
I know. He's got a nice body.

1152
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,010
He did it once.

1153
00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:34,685
Yo.

1154
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,604
That was a later plot addition
of digging through the floor.

1155
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,605
We wrote the movie
and it wasn't really that big an element

1156
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,364
that we were running out of water.

1157
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:44,851
And then we added the...

1158
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,686
And then it felt like
there wasn't enough tension in the house,

1159
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,843
so we added the idea that we had no water.

1160
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,883
First we had the idea
that we had very little water,

1161
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,642
and that Danny dumped it all out
and that Emma stole the remaining drinks.

1162
00:53:58,720 --> 00:54:03,851
And then that in order to access the water,
we had to dig through the floor and get it.

1163
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,571
Which, to us, just made us laugh.

1164
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,923
It's just hard to think of shit for guys
to do without leaving a fucking house.

1165
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,924
So, eventually, you just think maybe
you can dig through the floor.

1166
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:17,289
That's a nice activity. And it's all able.
We can shoot it on our set.

1167
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,683
And that's the story of
why the guys dig through the floor.

1168
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,570
From Seth and Evan's School of Filmmaking!

1169
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:26,481
Movie.

1170
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,804
Just be nicer
and follow those commandments.

1171
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:30,881
Listen.

1172
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:32,450
Do you know the Ten Commandments, Evan?

1173
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:37,686
- The first one is don't kill people.
- Don't kill people.

1174
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,491
- And then you shouldn't steal.
- Don't steal. That's two.

1175
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,927
- Don't fuck off your parents.
- Don't tell your parents to...

1176
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,606
- Respect your elders.
- Same difference.

1177
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,368
Big scene's here.

1178
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,602
Do we not even do commentary
on this scene?

1179
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:52,681
What's to be said?

1180
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,603
Do we assume
that even people watching this

1181
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,763
just wanna sit back and enjoy this scene?

1182
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,405
Now, this was largely...

1183
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,723
I think this was probably more scripted
than people think it was,

1184
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:03,847
which is complimentary.

1185
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,810
We take it up until the,
"Like a goddamn pilgrim."

1186
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:10,089
- And then they take it home.
- Yeah, all this is written.

1187
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,806
It's nice that I'm in this scene.
I think it makes the scene a little better

1188
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,360
just that there's a dude standing there
witnessing it happen.

1189
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,442
But it was really hard to be in this scene.

1190
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:22,481
Now, if you watch Seth really closely and
think about it, he's clearly trying not to...

1191
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,245
- That's all he's doing is trying not to laugh.
- I'm really trying not to laugh.

1192
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,641
He doesn't move. He keeps his body still,

1193
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:32,527
'cause he's clenching his arms
and his stomach in an attempt to not shake.

1194
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,166
Franco lost his voice doing this.

1195
00:55:35,240 --> 00:55:38,084
Danny made up that line.
That always made me laugh.

1196
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,686
To fucking close your eyes
and fucking cum wherever you want!

1197
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,445
I mean, you're getting all worked up
over a fucking porno mag!

1198
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,560
This line is the last scripted line
of the scene, I believe.

1199
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,126
Then they went crazy.

1200
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,408
Yeah, I am almost laughing there.

1201
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,608
Yet you're jerking your dick
like a goddamn pilgrim!

1202
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,206
That's right, man. I like to fucking read!

1203
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,328
You think that's the only thing
ljerked off in here?

1204
00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:02,088
- You're literally looking away right now.
- I'm just trying not to ruin it.

1205
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,561
You feel bad when you laugh
when someone else is being funny.

1206
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:05,766
That's what sucks about laughing

1207
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,450
is you only do it
when someone is being really funny,

1208
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:08,521
and that's the worst time to do it,

1209
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,001
because that's when you wanna be able
to use what they're doing,

1210
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:12,889
and you ruin it when you laugh.

1211
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,327
I've always relished my ability
to laugh freely on set.

1212
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,644
I know. You see it happen.
People look pissed if you ruin it.

1213
00:56:19,720 --> 00:56:23,042
I laughed hard enough once or twice
that I ruined a take.

1214
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,885
- I'm laughing in this scene right there.
- Yeah, there he shakes.

1215
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,282
- Right there I'm laughing.
- He looks away.

1216
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:30,930
It was impossible to avoid.

1217
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,321
There I'm almost laughing.

1218
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,928
I'm just kind of smiling.

1219
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,609
You don't have enough bullets, bitch.

1220
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,206
No fucking jerking off
in my house, McBride!

1221
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:47,407
I feel like this moment amused you the
most, Seth, out of the whole movie

1222
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:48,891
while we were editing.

1223
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:53,284
Yeah, I always liked the lines,
"Too late. I've already walked too..."

1224
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,489
It's too late, Seth.
I've already walked away too much.

1225
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,244
I always liked that joke.

1226
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,971
And just fucking turn around
and come back and help me.

1227
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:05,166
Danny?

1228
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,086
Daniel?

1229
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:18,921
<i>If you're just joining us,
this is the This Is the End commentary.</i>

1230
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,288
I'm Seth Rogen here with Evan Goldberg.

1231
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:23,964
It's a beautiful day
in Los Angeles, California.

1232
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,122
It's June 7th, 2013.

1233
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,044
- The movie is probably a smash hit.
- Probably a future smash hit.

1234
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:30,929
You've probably enjoyed it several times
in theaters.

1235
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,401
Probably won several Oscars
by the time you're listening to this.

1236
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,881
Or Superman was just that damn good.

1237
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:37,689
Or literally, you haven't even heard
of this movie.

1238
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,128
Maybe someone gave you this DVD,
thinking you would like it.

1239
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,806
And you thought, "What's this? Oh, yeah.

1240
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,566
"This Is the End.
I think I heard about that movie.

1241
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,723
"The third time I saw Superman,
I feel like someone might have coughed..."

1242
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:55,089
"After I saw Superman for the first time,
I saw a guy coming out of This Is the End."

1243
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:59,205
If Henry Cavill murders someone
in the next week, then we have a real shot.

1244
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,123
He probably will.
He seems like a volatile man.

1245
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,201
That would honestly help.

1246
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,489
I'd be more likely to see Superman
if I knew Superman was a murderer.

1247
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,006
Well, then here's the sequel.
It's the most meta thing ever.

1248
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,004
- We kill him and frame him...
- We kill Henry Cavill?

1249
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,161
To make our movie do well.

1250
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,561
We make a movie about the movie
of us killing him.

1251
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:15,680
That's a pretty good idea.

1252
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,845
We make a documentary following us
framing Henry Cavill for murder.

1253
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,285
That's not a bad idea.

1254
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:25,490
- This Is the End 2: We Need a Beginning.
- A New Beginning.

1255
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,251
This sequence, we told our DP,
"Make it look like The Thing."

1256
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:32,771
And he said, "Well, we need a flashlight."

1257
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,922
And we said,
"Well, we don't have a flashlight."

1258
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,890
Then we said, "Well, maybe Craig has
a flashlight in his pocket."

1259
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,964
And all this Terry Pete stuff,
Craig just came up with.

1260
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:42,087
"Terry Pete."

1261
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:45,323
It's always mystified us.
There's no reason it's funny.

1262
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:46,367
It doesn't get a huge laugh,

1263
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,364
but the people that laugh, laugh hard enough
that it was worth keeping in the movie.

1264
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,683
I'll say this. it doesn't get a huge laugh,
but people afterwards, you hear them saying,

1265
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,604
"Terry Pete." It's a quotable line.

1266
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:04,849
We try to have some references.

1267
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,969
There's Oscar dresses in the background,
there's a Milk poster,

1268
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:09,804
there's his arm from 127 Hours.

1269
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,531
I also think it's worth mentioning,
in the drug sequence earlier,

1270
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,650
we shot a thing where Franco
was the Green Goblin throwing tennis balls.

1271
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,770
And we actually got the mask that he had,
and the armbands with the razors,

1272
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,241
and Danny had a shirt
with the Spider-Man emblem,

1273
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,085
and Craig was dressed as Mary Jane,
and we did a whole scene.

1274
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:30,563
- But it just didn't click with people.
- No, it really didn't.

1275
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:32,605
The two heroes over here,
breaking through the floor.

1276
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,205
We did break through the floor.

1277
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,203
Any of you guys would
have done the same thing.

1278
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,601
Oh, man. That fucking hurt.

1279
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,848
Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't shart again.

1280
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:41,921
I think I did.

1281
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,402
Coming up here, we got
Danny wasting the water a second time.

1282
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,963
It's worth saying that when he gets
the gun in his mouth from Franco,

1283
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,249
it took us, I believe, like 17 times.
Something like that.

1284
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,648
- That was one of the hardest...
- It took 17 times to get it.

1285
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,051
Everyone just kept laughing.

1286
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,600
It's on the gag reel, I think,
four of the attempts.

1287
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,889
It got to the point where everyone was like,
"We can't do this. We have to move on."

1288
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,440
And we were just like, "Fuck, no.
We are getting this."

1289
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,204
It was the most...

1290
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,521
But Bill Hader on Superbad
when he had to say,

1291
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,410
"I'm sorry I blocked your cock."
That was, like, 28 times.

1292
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,130
Yeah, he had to do that a lot of times.

1293
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,168
So this is number two.
This wins the silver.

1294
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:23,290
When I was young, I used to always complain
that things weren't fair.

1295
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,807
If I didn't get the same thing as my
sister, I'd say, "That's not fair, Dad."

1296
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,248
And my dad would always say,
"Fair and equal are not the same."

1297
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,642
That was where we got the idea
for this scene.

1298
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:37,486
Danny doesn't think it's fair
that everyone is splitting things equally.

1299
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:43,602
He thinks things should be more proportional
to their actual, physical size.

1300
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,241
So this is a lesson I learned from my father,
that fair and equal are not the same.

1301
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,927
- And that's why you will never be fit.
- That's why. Because I just deserve more.

1302
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:55,682
The fatter I am, the more I deserve.
That's what's nice about that.

1303
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,765
- I like the noise Danny makes here.
- He just screams like crazy.

1304
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,321
What are you doing?

1305
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,041
- If you're just joining us...
- I was going to pull the same shit.

1306
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,964
- Video commentary.
- Yeah, here. This joke.

1307
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,168
And in theater,
no one ever hears him say nerd.

1308
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,686
'Cause they're laughing too hard
when he goes, "That's what I thought."

1309
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,967
You just talked over "nerd."
Now, they'll never hear "nerd."

1310
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:16,804
"Nerd's" not in the movie even.

1311
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,530
This scene, for some reason when we shot,

1312
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,763
everyone acted way crazier
than they normally act.

1313
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,729
The extended version is also on the DVD.

1314
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,770
Craig started talking about vinegarjuice,

1315
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,526
and Jonah talks about how Danny's
a bumblebee that stings you once and dies.

1316
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,729
- They all went bonkers.
- Everyone was in a weird mood this day.

1317
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:39,044
And Franco's all, "Gots to go. Go."

1318
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,567
I don't know where the fuck he got that,
or why he did that,

1319
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,962
but it makes me laugh every time I see it.

1320
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:50,564
We shot the whole intervention.

1321
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,361
We actually filmed us sitting him down
and explaining that he has to leave.

1322
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,560
Kind of defeated the whole purpose
of the last scene.

1323
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,285
And then we realized
that you can just cut in here.

1324
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,971
That's what you call a waste of time.

1325
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:05,806
- Seth and Evan's School of Filmmaking
- Making movies

1326
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:12,565
We should open an audio school
of filmmaking, I think, maybe...

1327
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:16,042
- We'll start with Green Hornet LivePlace.
- Exactly.

1328
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:17,406
"Oh, no. Hello."

1329
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,403
We'll do tutorials online.

1330
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:23,087
We can just open a back studio
at the Lee Strasberg acting studios.

1331
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:27,085
We'll be the new... Who's the guy
that gives the tips on Final Draft?

1332
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:31,245
- Syd...
- Syd Meyers.

1333
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,324
I can't remember. Doesn't matter.

1334
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,688
- Syd Field.
- Yes! Syd Field.

1335
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:40,922
We'll be the new Syd Field.

1336
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:42,650
- Finally.
- Thank God.

1337
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,768
Thank God that joke was able
to come to fruition.

1338
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,524
"Tears from the tip of my penis."

1339
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,285
This was a great run by Danny.
He improvised most of that stuff.

1340
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,125
I'll never forget Kyle and Ariel, the EPs,
came up and were like,

1341
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:53,645
"it says,
'Crying and comin', and comin' and crying.'

1342
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:58,123
"But we really think it should be,
'Come and cry, crying comin'."'

1343
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,441
And I was just like,
"Guys, I don't know if this is..."

1344
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:04,047
"I don't know how to give that note."

1345
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:08,205
I think Jonah might have come up with
the "cum for help" joke. I don't remember.

1346
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,442
It's such a good joke,
I think we should take credit.

1347
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,522
The guys would pitch each other jokes,
which was nice.

1348
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,530
That doesn't always happen on movies.

1349
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,331
- No, usually, they hold them.
- They hold them, keep them for themselves.

1350
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:19,930
This joke plays well in the theater.

1351
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,401
It's fun how everyone knows
exactly what's gonna happen.

1352
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,324
But they really think
he's gonna blow everyone's brains out.

1353
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,244
Yeah, this is a long-term joke, this gun,

1354
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:29,810
and it paid off pretty well. Thank God.

1355
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,645
It took us a little while to edit it in the
exact right way, but it really played.

1356
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,848
I remember when Franco had the gun
in the inventory scene,

1357
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,649
and he was about to walk away with it.
I said,

1358
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,041
"How about you never let go of the gun
for the rest of the movie?"

1359
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,282
And he was like, "Great idea."
And he held on to the gun.

1360
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,569
And if you watch, he's never
not holding the gun until right now.

1361
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:48,008
After this moment,
he doesn't hold it anymore.

1362
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,924
- 'Cause he's made his mistake.
- Yeah, he always has it.

1363
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,288
I would never do that as an actor.
That's such a commitment.

1364
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:55,850
What, keeping your props?

1365
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:59,845
Having a prop you gotta keep the whole
time, put it down, play with it.

1366
01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:01,445
I see what you're saying.

1367
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:06,447
- Well, you just get a lanyard on your hip.
- A lanyard.

1368
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:08,524
Never made
a goddamn mistake before.

1369
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,568
Franco, you're just
a pretentious fucking nerd.

1370
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:11,721
Fuck you.

1371
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:16,210
- This part always makes me laugh.
- Just 'cause there's no context.

1372
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:19,727
Just Jonah's reaction to being
called a cunt is so funny.

1373
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,441
He kept calling him a sassy little bitch,
which made me laugh also.

1374
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,922
"You're extra sassy for some reason."

1375
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,685
Jonah, any time Danny said his name,
he would start laughing.

1376
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,565
"Jonah. Hey, Jonah."

1377
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,411
Jonah just couldn't even deal with that.
It was pretty fucking funny to watch.

1378
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,081
Jonah had never acted with Danny, right?

1379
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,327
So he had a bit of difficulty
keeping it together,

1380
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,051
'cause Dannyjust really made him laugh.

1381
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,485
My ankle. Something's happened.

1382
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:51,929
What is happening to me?

1383
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,004
- You got restless leg syndrome.
- Do I?

1384
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,088
You ain't gonna make it
through this audio commentary.

1385
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,766
I Qot RLS?

1386
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:05,244
Is it restless? It's not
That'd be wrestles leg syndrome.

1387
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,608
I think I have it sometimes.
My legs get antsy as fuck.

1388
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:10,523
Yeah.

1389
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,365
Whose do you think are wrestles-er?
How do you test it?

1390
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,363
I'm the one who fidgets all the time.
You're not very restless.

1391
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,010
I'm pretty fidgety, I think.

1392
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,004
- Well, you're wrong. I'm fidgety.
- Fuck you, Evan.

1393
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,723
Remember that thing you and Aziz do
in Observe and Report?

1394
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:27,962
- That was a funny "Fuck you" exchange.
- That's true.

1395
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,850
We could get in some commentary
for some of our other movies

1396
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:34,003
- while we're in here. ls there any other facts...
- Wait. I like this punch.

1397
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:35,809
- Let it happen.
- Okay, I'll just let it happen.

1398
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:37,644
I'm gonna add a sound effect.

1399
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,849
This is what I wanted it to sound like
when it happens in the movie.

1400
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:43,324
- Hey! Whoa!
- Jay, damn, man.

1401
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,840
We should just add all the sound effects
that we actually wanted for the rest of it.

1402
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:11,441
This prayer was largely
improvised by Jonah.

1403
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,643
We asked him to say, "From Moneyball."
I can't remember, actually.

1404
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:18,529
- I think we did.
- It doesn't matter.

1405
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,841
Why are we so proprietary
over these jokes, Evan?

1406
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:22,081
Who cares who came up with them?

1407
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,845
'Cause the Writers Guild pays you
based on jokes per minute in film.

1408
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,526
- Few people know that.
- That's what most people don't get.

1409
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,171
They have a way of measuring laughter
in Hollywood,

1410
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:31,730
called LOLs.

1411
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:36,770
The more LOLs your movie generates,
the more money you get.

1412
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:38,569
It's roughly $3 per LOL.

1413
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:40,842
Yes, so though Pineapple Express
made less money than Superbad,

1414
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:42,490
- it had a higher LOL rate.
- It had a higher LOL average.

1415
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,730
Yeah, our LOLs were through the roof,
so we really cleaned up on that.

1416
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,723
It's a Scientology thing,
if you don't know about it. Look it up.

1417
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:52,009
It's all deeply rooted in
Scientologist beliefs.

1418
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:54,367
LOL's a space god. It's a whole thing.

1419
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:59,685
But this movie, the more LOLs
that are credited to me and Evan,

1420
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,684
- the more money we get.
- Hashtag laughs.

1421
01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,769
Stop, man.

1422
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,002
Seriously, Craig, stop.

1423
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,403
Your nails are sharp.

1424
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,929
The other thing is that penis that you saw,

1425
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,049
we really amped it up
and gave it some shine and veiny-ness

1426
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:23,364
so that it would hopefully get rejected by
the MPAA, so they would reduce our rating,

1427
01:08:23,440 --> 01:08:28,480
and we would just pull it back a bit. It
was a trick we learned from Team America.

1428
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,528
Apparently, the sex scene,
they went way too far.

1429
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,206
And they just let us use the version
that we thought was way too far.

1430
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,681
So, we got away with that big, veiny dick.

1431
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,765
Something not that chill
happened last night.

1432
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:45,044
Yo, so, I just drank
my own pee for the first time.

1433
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:50,123
And it ain't bad. I never thought to do it.

1434
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,363
I always thought, you know,
pee stink, whatever, but...

1435
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,730
- Now this scene of me pissing in my mouth...
- This was the last shot of the entire movie.

1436
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,280
Literally, when this
bottle of piss ran out...

1437
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:12,410
I'm just holding, literally,
one of those squeezable ketchup bottles

1438
01:09:12,480 --> 01:09:15,324
filled with yellow Gatorade
right below the camera line.

1439
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,563
What you don't know is
we filled it with real piss.

1440
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,246
Good thing that's your thing.

1441
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,085
That's why I became so sexually aroused
when it hit my face.

1442
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,524
I didn't understand why.

1443
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:31,201
'Cause I'm like, "I don't get turned on
by Gatorade getting sprayed in my mouth,

1444
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:35,205
"but I do get turned on by piss.
Why is this doing this to me?"

1445
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:38,762
It was one of those rare moments where
I was directing you without you knowing it.

1446
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,571
You did. You used piss to direct me.

1447
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:45,764
Jonah played this well.

1448
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:50,607
His post-demon-rape stupor,
I guess you would call it.

1449
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,404
And then you reveal
the scratch on his arm is real.

1450
01:09:55,480 --> 01:09:57,721
It wasn't just a dream!

1451
01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,006
Thank you.

1452
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:02,846
You got this, dawg.

1453
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:05,928
What we tried to do here
emotionally is show

1454
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:10,403
that it's really just between me and Jay
in this showdown.

1455
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:13,324
It's very subtle filmmaking,
they call that.

1456
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,531
If anyone asks what our style is,
we should say subtle.

1457
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,409
It's subtle with some panache.

1458
01:10:19,480 --> 01:10:21,562
We have a subtle filmmaking style.

1459
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,847
Subtle yet filled with panache.

1460
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:25,684
Jay's got crazy hair.

1461
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:30,484
Well, you all have crazy hair in this.

1462
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,244
Jay in particular is pretty crazy.

1463
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:36,086
- We all look like wild men.
- Franco looks pretty bananas.

1464
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:39,401
We're supposed to be surviving
the fucking Apocalypse.

1465
01:10:39,480 --> 01:10:43,565
The width of Jay's sideburns
compared to the width of yours...

1466
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:45,608
People are just different, I guess.

1467
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:49,645
I think that's the moral of this movie,
people are just different.

1468
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:53,331
This movie has the same moral
as the movie Volcano.

1469
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:54,731
And Dante's Peak.

1470
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:59,408
We're all the same color
while covered in ash, and that's gray.

1471
01:10:59,480 --> 01:11:01,926
- Holy shit, I forgot about that moment.
- Oh, yeah.

1472
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,324
What do you mean? Do you mean you forgot
about the point of the whole movie?

1473
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,971
I'm sorry if I'm not too up to snuff
on Volcano.

1474
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:10,166
Special apology to Neal Moritz.

1475
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:14,609
All these shots of the house
are completely computer-generated, or CG.

1476
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,682
That's my favorite shot in the movie.

1477
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,684
I find Seth's pathetic-ness in that shot
very humorous.

1478
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:22,604
I'm sitting on this chair
that was at one point kind of a plot...

1479
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:26,287
Like, Franco has this ridiculous chair,
a Wendell Taggart lounge plank.

1480
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,284
We cut it out, though, for the most part.
That's the only time it's actually used.

1481
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:30,964
I called dibs on that chair.

1482
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,646
Yeah, what the fuck happened to
all that furniture we were supposed to get?

1483
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,803
We'll find out, or we won't.
That's Hollywood, man.

1484
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:40,009
I'm putting you on blast, Chris Spellman.

1485
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,971
This shot you're about to see was,
for some reason,

1486
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:47,123
the hardest visual effects shot
of literally the entire movie.

1487
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:48,810
And it's not that good even.

1488
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,247
- I still am not happy with it.
- No, no, no.

1489
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,530
It wasn't the building itself.
They couldn't get the landing.

1490
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:59,127
The pan. It didn't land. It doesn't
feel like a camera fucking landing.

1491
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:00,565
It kept snapping into place.

1492
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,246
We're like, "Make it feel real,
like a camera guy is turning."

1493
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,129
And it will haunt us till the day we die.

1494
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,647
- And that's why me and Evan...
- This is the last film we will ever make.

1495
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,843
Are gonna dock iodine.

1496
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:13,684
We're gonna dock poison
into each other's penises.

1497
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:17,162
- Hemlock.
- Hemlock dock. We're gonna hemdock.

1498
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:21,531
That's how Socrates died.

1499
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,524
I will say, I couldn't do it. So maybe...

1500
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:25,840
That's how Cockrates died.

1501
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:29,003
If you kill me, and just dock yourself
to death on me, that would be funny.

1502
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,845
- That would be a good out joke.
- After you're dead?

1503
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:34,890
It's like we actually do one gay thing,
and it kills us.

1504
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:38,927
Are we hemlock dock?

1505
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:43,011
The weirdest thing is I'm having
déjé vu about this moment right now.

1506
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,401
We've done this before.

1507
01:12:45,480 --> 01:12:46,845
So we always thought it would be funny

1508
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,241
if Jonah got raped by a devil
and then possessed.

1509
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,482
And then years later, we made this movie.

1510
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:55,360
Years later, we found ourselves writing
This Is the End, and thought,

1511
01:12:55,440 --> 01:12:58,887
"Hey, this could be a good time
to use that joke."

1512
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,726
In this scene where Jay and Craig
get chased by the demon dog,

1513
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,320
we had a whole thing
where Craig hides under the kitchen counter

1514
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:08,521
and eats Milky Ways.

1515
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:09,726
- Yeah.
- That was funny.

1516
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,963
There's a lot of visual effects
in this sequence.

1517
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,521
Jonah, he's not wearing
much actual makeup at all.

1518
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,729
Everything done to his skin color,
and skin pigment, and his eyes

1519
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:24,566
and all the veins, pretty much all of that
is done in post.

1520
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,849
Actors watching this should take note
that you never should wear makeup.

1521
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:29,081
They can fix it later.

1522
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,845
Anytime they're like, "You need to sit
in this makeup chair for three hours,"

1523
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,800
you can be like, "Nope, I heard
the audio commentary for This Is the End,

1524
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,241
"and I don't need to fucking do that,
Mr. Director Man."

1525
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,243
Unless you're less famous than Jonah.

1526
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,527
Yeah, if you're less famous than Jonah,
then you do need to,

1527
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:43,320
because it's too expensive to do it to you.

1528
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,170
That's why you gotta chase that golden
dream of getting big like Jonah.

1529
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:49,369
That little glob coming out of
Franco's mouth is computer-genermated.

1530
01:13:49,440 --> 01:13:50,805
No, no, it was.

1531
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:52,928
We enhanced it with computers,
then we went back.

1532
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,684
No, that's computer-gemerated.

1533
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,331
- It's not pronounced gemerated?
- They gemerated that?

1534
01:13:57,400 --> 01:13:59,926
- They computer-gemerated that.
- They didn't gemerate that.

1535
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,651
- I'm pretty sure that's gemerated.
- That's an insult to his acting.

1536
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,963
He made it perfect, 'cause he's good.

1537
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,520
I think that's commuter-gemerated.

1538
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,927
It's not gemerated.

1539
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,486
The Apocalypse is nigh!

1540
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,689
We made up a bunch of biblical stuff,
which is fun to do.

1541
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,570
It's fun rewriting the Bible.
It's written pretty well,

1542
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,849
but you realize if you punch it up a bit
and kind of take out some lines...

1543
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:25,365
They just didn't have
as many adjectives back then.

1544
01:14:25,480 --> 01:14:28,643
And then there's some run-on sentences.

1545
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:33,567
Once you abridge it,
the Bible actually comes out pretty nicely.

1546
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:39,166
And here, you don't have to sleep
in a friggin' tent under a dick.

1547
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,242
So in this scene coming up,

1548
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:47,168
you see a giant, horned dog-like creature
chasing Jay and Craig.

1549
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:51,086
Now, directors do this thing

1550
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:57,441
where they want everything to be real,
or as they say in the biz, "in camera."

1551
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:58,885
I think by the time this movie comes out,

1552
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,327
it'll be more like
directors used to do this thing.

1553
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:04,882
And that means that instead of having
a computer-generated creature,

1554
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,328
you want an in-camera creature, something
you actually film or a guy in a suit.

1555
01:15:08,440 --> 01:15:10,204
- What you tell yourself is it's real.
- It's real and it's cool.

1556
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,568
- Real is real, and you can't beat real.
- And people say, "it's hard to do that now."

1557
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,849
And you say, "I'm good.
I can light it and shoot it in such a way

1558
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,207
"that even though
it's a guy in a suit essentially,

1559
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,523
"it'll be very scary and dramatic."

1560
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,524
And then you find yourself filming
a guy in a suit,

1561
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:29,730
a guy who's literally probably smaller
than Jay and Craig,

1562
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:33,566
a guy that Craig could literally pound the
living shit out of if he really wanted to.

1563
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,927
And we designed
a cool demon costume for him.

1564
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,082
Yeah, but it just wasn't working.

1565
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,049
We were like, "We're those guys.

1566
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,964
"We're those guys who said they could
do it, and now, we can't do it."

1567
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:48,722
And the suit was good.
We just didn't do it.

1568
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:52,771
And so we replaced the guy in the suit
with a giant demon dog creature,

1569
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:54,888
and it worked a lot better.

1570
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:57,725
And this is the moment
where we plug Modus.

1571
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,804
Yes, 'cause they built
this demon dog creature really fast

1572
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:04,089
as a last-minute replacement
for this other thing.

1573
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:05,685
- And it's fucking awesome.
- Yeah, it's unbelievable.

1574
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,082
- It looks really good.
- Modus did most of the VFX in the movie.

1575
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:13,484
They designed it well, and this whole
thing, all of that, was like...

1576
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:17,367
This shot we actually filmed...

1577
01:16:17,440 --> 01:16:19,408
Now, actually, we have
the thing running around back there.

1578
01:16:19,480 --> 01:16:22,006
Yeah, we had him running around.

1579
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,242
Craig hiding with a bat
he could easily kill it with.

1580
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:28,609
He could easily beat the demon
to death with if it was the other demon.

1581
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,160
In my head, it was super strong.

1582
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,960
That's the silliest moment
in the whole movie, to me.

1583
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,083
- Snap zoom.
- The snap zoom and the...

1584
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:39,281
Shit!

1585
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,291
Now, in this part, Jonah laughed very hard.

1586
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,125
Yeah, the joke, "Are you a big B
or a small C?"

1587
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,441
made him laugh harder
than I've ever seen him laugh in my life,

1588
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,888
and we had to wait a few minutes
for him to calm down to film again.

1589
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,527
Yeah, it was very, very, very funny.

1590
01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,570
For some reason, that thing was CG,
I remember.

1591
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:04,009
I'll never understand
why they had to make a CG coat hanger.

1592
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:07,961
No, they threw it at me. it got all flimsy.

1593
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,565
- Really?
- Yeah.

1594
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,803
This whole hallway isn't there.
That's just a wall behind Jay,

1595
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,565
and we extended it with the visual arts.

1596
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,451
"The visual arts."

1597
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:25,241
Notice the teats
on the bottom of the dog monster.

1598
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:27,809
It's a mother.

1599
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:30,360
Which means, where's its baby?

1600
01:17:30,440 --> 01:17:31,930
In the sequel.

1601
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,041
This part really gets me good.

1602
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,361
I like Franco's face right here.

1603
01:17:39,440 --> 01:17:41,920
Watch his face. Watch it.

1604
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:44,405
Where are you going?

1605
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,404
Shit.

1606
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,604
This is like a Scooby-Doo-type joke.

1607
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:53,001
You're literally hiding
in a closet together.

1608
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:56,163
Yeah, and we realized
this whole breathing joke

1609
01:17:56,240 --> 01:18:01,007
actually came from...

1610
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:07,450
came from just the fact that
I breathe super-duper-duper fucking loud.

1611
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:10,205
And we realized
that if I was hiding in a closet,

1612
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:15,320
I probably would breathe actually too loud
for us to hide effectively.

1613
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:19,928
So we came up with this idea
that I don't know where to breathe from.

1614
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,531
This part's kind of scary.
Jonah's scary in this part.

1615
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:24,647
Yeah, Jonah's terrifying.

1616
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,001
His hands have no real makeup on it.
That always blows my mind.

1617
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:32,723
All that's done with what we call
"commuter-gemergated meffects."

1618
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,848
- This is a great stunt.
- Yes.

1619
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:36,001
I feel like these guys really sold this.

1620
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:38,208
These two dudes just fell down
a fucking flight of stairs.

1621
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,009
There's not a whole lot of ways
to fake that one.

1622
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:42,208
I sometimes picture that they're like,
"Yeah, it was no problem."

1623
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,243
And then they go home
and cry for several hours.

1624
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,402
They probably do.

1625
01:18:46,480 --> 01:18:49,165
That's what you call a "fake scare."

1626
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,165
- What are you doing?
- What are you doing?

1627
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:52,730
There's a fuckin' demon chasing us!

1628
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,404
- A demon?
- Demon?

1629
01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:57,324
- What the fuck happened to you guys?
- That!

1630
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:58,811
- It's Jonah!
- He's possessed!

1631
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:00,160
He's crazy!

1632
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:04,085
That sound took us a little while to find.

1633
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:09,451
Me and Evan always pictured a particularly
"plungy" sound. it worked well.

1634
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:15,880
Is now when we give props
to Michael Babcock, our overall sound guy?

1635
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,167
- Sound designer?
- They do not like being called sound guys.

1636
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,447
- It's sound engineer.
- Sound designer? Sound engineer?

1637
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:21,885
No, that's something different, I think.

1638
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,930
- The Grand Wizard of Sound.
- The Grandmaster of Sound.

1639
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:29,005
- The Elvis...
- The Commodore of Sound.

1640
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:30,923
The Chancellor of Sound.

1641
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,890
- Well, it's Babcock.
- Michael Babcock, everybody.

1642
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,361
He made this movie sound good.

1643
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,160
- This was fun.
- Fuck. I got you. Don't worry about it.

1644
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,208
I'm good. I'm good.
My microphone almost fell.

1645
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:45,682
This is where they finally deal
with the actual topic of the film.

1646
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:47,404
Which is that it's the Apocalypse.

1647
01:19:47,480 --> 01:19:51,963
This scene was a little edgy,
because there's not a lot of scenes

1648
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:55,203
where the characters
are really discussing religious stuff

1649
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:59,683
and whether or not they believe in God, or
don't believe in God, and what they think.

1650
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:03,810
And this was the one scene we kind of
resisted writing for a little while,

1651
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:05,803
'cause we were like,
"Are we really just gonna talk about it?"

1652
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:07,211
And then we just started talking about it,

1653
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,403
and it was really funny,
because it felt real, I think.

1654
01:20:10,480 --> 01:20:12,289
This scene was marred by the fact

1655
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:16,570
that for weeks,
I had to be covered in black fucking slime

1656
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,290
that Jonah vomited all over me.

1657
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:21,330
It was really funny.
How did they make it shine, Seth?

1658
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,324
It was K-Y Jelly mixed with black paint.

1659
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:28,246
And they literally had buckets full of it,
giant buckets of it.

1660
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:32,405
- And before the take, I would stand there...
- And they'd lube you up.

1661
01:20:32,480 --> 01:20:35,609
Two people would literally
get giant paintbrushes

1662
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,843
and paint K-Y Jelly all over my body.

1663
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,321
And it would kind of dry,
and crust up and flake.

1664
01:20:41,440 --> 01:20:45,001
And now, without at least a little
K-Y on you, you're not happy.

1665
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:49,847
The upside is it made it much easier
for me to butt-fuck regularly.

1666
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:51,441
Hlubes.

1667
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,091
- It lubes well.
- It's a lubricant.

1668
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,842
I wonder what happened
to spermicidal lubricant.

1669
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:58,968
That used to be a big thing
when I was in high school and university.

1670
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,082
Spermicidal lubricant.

1671
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:03,686
Maybe it just seemed too aggressive,
or maybe it never worked.

1672
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:05,569
It's just not a sexy word.

1673
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:09,565
- Let's get spermicidal, baby.
- He's a spermicidal maniac.

1674
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,451
- He's committed mass spermicide.
- Mass spermicide.

1675
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,000
Have you heard in Darfur
there's a mass spermicide?

1676
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:19,607
- That joke's too far.
- That's too far? I don't think it is.

1677
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:23,651
I think we're treading on edgy ground,
but I don't think that's too far.

1678
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:24,721
First eyeball was an accident,

1679
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,451
but then I was, like, fuck it,
and I went for the second one.

1680
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:29,090
It was fucked up.

1681
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:34,564
We improvised a lot of terrible things.
Speaking of too far,

1682
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:40,443
we had a lot of jokes that we improvised
about bad things we had done,

1683
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:42,284
and maybe that's why we're here.

1684
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:46,649
And some of them are actually
so offensive and bad

1685
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:49,644
that I felt really bad
even saying some of them,

1686
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:53,083
but I said them to kind of coax
the other guys to say bad stuff.

1687
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,527
And then I was actually convinced

1688
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:58,763
that we should test
some of the stuff that we tried,

1689
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:02,322
and it was actually one of
the more humiliating moments I've ever had.

1690
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:04,971
'Cause some of the jokes were so offensive
and just died.

1691
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:06,280
No one laughed at them.

1692
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,402
And there's one joke in particular
that we will not say,

1693
01:22:08,480 --> 01:22:11,689
that I convinced Seth we should leave in
'cause I knew it would die.

1694
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,684
- Why did you do that to me?
- I just wanted to see it happen.

1695
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,524
That's not very nice.

1696
01:22:17,480 --> 01:22:19,642
- Well, that's why I'm leaving...
- There was a 5% chance...

1697
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:21,927
That's why if you watch
any of the EPK footage on this DVD,

1698
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,691
Evan looks like a fucking idiot.

1699
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,082
He's wearing a shirt
with a pug riding a horse or something.

1700
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:31,321
I don't look very good.

1701
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:37,328
It looks like he has a funny body that's
being operated by puppeteers offstage.

1702
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:41,121
I struck a weird posture,
I sat in my chair wrong,

1703
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,931
and I wore a shirt that
usually makes people smile,

1704
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,240
but it kind of backfired on me.

1705
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,448
I was open to reshooting
some of that EPK footage,

1706
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:49,602
but now, I'm not going to,
because you mocked me.

1707
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,569
You're literally taking money
out of your own bank account.

1708
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:53,642
- We look so unprofessional.
- I don't care.

1709
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:55,961
No one's gonna wanna hire those two guys.

1710
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,168
It's too late. It's in.

1711
01:22:58,240 --> 01:22:59,969
You're willing to ruin your own career
just for a laugh?

1712
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,441
I am just to bring you down with me.

1713
01:23:04,440 --> 01:23:07,125
This was funny to shoot.
Jonah improvised a lot of this stuff.

1714
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,806
We had originally wrote it
that he's saying dirty stuff.

1715
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:12,048
"You will suck cocks in hell,"
and all this shit.

1716
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:16,728
And then we re-watched The Exorcist,
and realized even the crazy shit we wrote

1717
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:20,327
wasn't as crazy as the shit
that Linda Blair says in The Exorcist,

1718
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:22,004
and she's like a 10-year-old girl.

1719
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:25,289
So it was way more shocking
than anything we had.

1720
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:28,762
So Jonah actually came up with the idea
to go in this direction with it,

1721
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:31,002
where he's just kind of talking to Jay

1722
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:34,527
almost like a completely regular asshole
would be talking to him.

1723
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:39,970
In The Exorcist, did they have her say words
that sound like those words and re-record it,

1724
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:41,724
or did they just have
a 10-year-old girl say that shit?

1725
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:42,961
No, I think she actually said it.

1726
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:45,811
Well, then that's terrible
of everybody involved in that movie to do.

1727
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:47,882
That's super fucked up.

1728
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,844
It's true. We did some...

1729
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:54,282
- Not to 10-year-olds, yo.
- No, 10-year-olds, dude.

1730
01:23:55,480 --> 01:23:58,882
Yeah, and all this...
Jonah was really funny.

1731
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:04,330
All improv, all Jonah's lines, I think,
or most of them at least, are improv-ed.

1732
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:05,561
It was fun making this bed rig.

1733
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:09,122
We just actually made it
wobble up and down.

1734
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,567
Jonah rode it around. It was pretty fun.

1735
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:14,689
"The power of Christ compels you!"

1736
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:18,048
We made some tongs
and a spatula into a crucifix.

1737
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:22,045
That was the big moment where Jason Stone,
Ariel Shaffir and Kyle Hunter,

1738
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:23,446
our executive producers,

1739
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:26,888
insisted that Seth yank him down,
and we fought it hard.

1740
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:28,371
- And they were right.
- They were right.

1741
01:24:28,440 --> 01:24:32,240
All this Jonah improvised. "Let 'em fight."
And that gets huge laughs.

1742
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:36,161
And it was very funny of Jonah
to interject in that regard.

1743
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:39,289
This is where Seth and Jay get emotional
as characters.

1744
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:41,843
And this was fucking kind of just lame,

1745
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:47,290
and then when Jonah started doing this,
it made it really funny. So thank God.

1746
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:50,527
- Thanks, Jonah.
- Thanks, Jonah.

1747
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:53,246
This is a visual effect.

1748
01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:55,561
The candle landed in front of the sheet,

1749
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:57,608
and the wizards who worked with us
made it come behind.

1750
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:02,083
And the flame went out.
That flame on the candle itself was added.

1751
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,362
Craig always makes me laugh here.

1752
01:25:04,440 --> 01:25:07,205
"I would have sucked a dick
for half a cracker.

1753
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:08,930
"I didn't want to suck it!
That's what I'm saying."

1754
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:10,121
it always makes me laugh

1755
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:13,283
that Franco and Craig are literally
about to engage in a giant argument

1756
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:16,443
as to what he meant
about sucking a dick for a cracker,

1757
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:20,650
and that's what is interrupted
by Jonah being on fire.

1758
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,085
Pretty fucked up
how much food Franco kept for himself.

1759
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:26,685
He has a lot of food in there.

1760
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:30,082
I'd have kept a bit of food if I was him.
It was his food.

1761
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:31,320
- Really?
- But not that much.

1762
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:32,486
You would have?

1763
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:35,689
I wouldn't have lied. I'd be like, "I get a bit more.
It's my fucking food, guys."

1764
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:36,807
"it's my fucking house, motherfuckers."

1765
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,042
"You don't like it, leave the house
and get no food."

1766
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,131
I'm not gonna pretend
I'm not keeping more food.

1767
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:45,210
This dude, we lit on fire, like, 20 times.

1768
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,681
- Nine times.
- Nine times over the course of a day.

1769
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:50,491
- I believe he set a record actually.
- This fire isn't fake.

1770
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:52,722
We lit a fucking guy on fire,
and he ran around.

1771
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:54,962
- He jumped off that thing.
- Yes, and those are all the real actors.

1772
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,281
He did all that shit. I mean, it was crazy.

1773
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:00,011
We filmed all this stuff.

1774
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:01,969
A little bit of that fire
is fake on the couch.

1775
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:03,525
- A little bit.
- A little bit of the couch fire is fake.

1776
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:07,650
- But for the most part, the fire is real.
- That's all real.

1777
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:15,084
It was amazing what this guy did.
I couldn't believe it. I felt bad.

1778
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,766
You feel bad
making people do stunts for a comedy.

1779
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,531
Yeah, if it was Schindler's List, we'd
be like, "This is gonna mean a lot."

1780
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:22,567
"This will be meaningful."

1781
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:24,688
For this, you're like,
"it's a fucking giant dick joke,

1782
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:26,649
"and we're putting people in danger."

1783
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:28,609
But it's okay.
You gotta do what you gotta do.

1784
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,889
That shot of the house collapsing...
It's okay.

1785
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:36,049
It's not our best visual effects shot,
I'm gonna say right now.

1786
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,361
This shot, on the other hand, is awesome.

1787
01:26:39,440 --> 01:26:41,408
We had to have a best,
and we had to have a worst.

1788
01:26:41,480 --> 01:26:44,211
These demons look very good,
I think, in the end.

1789
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,209
They are scary.

1790
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:50,645
You don't wanna get confronted
with that thing.

1791
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:51,721
You don't wanna get confronted with it.

1792
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:53,529
This song.

1793
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:57,690
This is Craig's badass moment.

1794
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:01,321
We told our composer to try to
make it sound like a cool moment

1795
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,085
- from an '80s action movie.
- Think Lethal Weapon, perhaps.

1796
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:07,448
Think Lethal Weapon or perhaps a
Van Damme film or something of that nature.

1797
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:09,010
Sudden Death.

1798
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,606
And he did a very good job, I think.

1799
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:13,371
Isn't for me.

1800
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:14,840
It's for you guys.

1801
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:16,649
Craig, you don't have to do that.

1802
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:19,411
Everything behind Craig is fake.
All that background is fake.

1803
01:27:19,480 --> 01:27:24,168
We were standing in the parking lot of our
soundstage when we filmed this stuff.

1804
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:32,086
The visual effects wizards
that did our computer-gemerated effects,

1805
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,766
they made it look like a real place.
It was amazing.

1806
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:37,286
That house isn't there. All
that stuff's fake. It's crazy.

1807
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:42,241
Literally, only the doorway was there.
None of that stuff behind Craig.

1808
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:44,522
Yeah, it's amazing
what they can do these days

1809
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:48,571
for not much money
if you find the right people.

1810
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:51,484
And that is another lesson from

1811
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:53,767
Seth and Evan's School of Filmmaking

1812
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:55,046
Seth and Evan

1813
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:57,361
- Make movies
- Make movies

1814
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:05,485
Now, if you listen closely,
they're singing...

1815
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:11,124
Take off yo panties

1816
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:12,247
They really are.

1817
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:17,963
Take off yo panties

1818
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:21,123
And when he goes up, they go...

1819
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:27,890
Take your panties off

1820
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:31,127
We actually had a choir do that.

1821
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:34,408
They seemed into it.

1822
01:28:35,480 --> 01:28:37,369
That joke makes me laugh every time.

1823
01:28:37,440 --> 01:28:42,002
Take your panties off

1824
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:45,163
We used to play Canned Heat,
and they kind of forgot about their worries

1825
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:49,643
and just grooved along, kind of jamming out
in this scene for a good minute.

1826
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:51,125
And then we realized that was boring.

1827
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:54,682
And we just wanted to make it go faster.
We wanted to kind of...

1828
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:56,762
I don't wanna say we wanted to rush through
to the ending,

1829
01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:00,041
but we knew we were on the home stretch,
and you kind of don't wanna dilly-dally.

1830
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:03,289
You wanna keep it rolling at this point,
keep it moving.

1831
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:09,043
We filmed this in a street in New Orleans
that we turned down into the Apocalypse.

1832
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:12,090
We had tons of cars that we lit on fire.

1833
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:16,569
They made these giant freeway signs
that were awesome-looking.

1834
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:23,447
And it really looked like a fucking
pretty nasty, hellish landscape.

1835
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:29,170
And I'm very pleased with how this looked
in the end. Aren't you, Evan?

1836
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:30,685
Yeah, you know...

1837
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,451
- Not so much, Evan?
- No, this part's great.

1838
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:37,081
That shot is, of course, a rip-off
of many shots in many movies.

1839
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:40,403
There's a million shots
where a car crash happens,

1840
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:42,648
and you're inside the car with the guys.

1841
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:45,041
I think maybe The Bourne Ultimatum
was one of the first ones.

1842
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:48,363
- Adaptation.
- Adaptation does it pretty well.

1843
01:29:48,440 --> 01:29:52,081
We thought,
"Hey, why not throw our names in the hat?"

1844
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,322
This is the Def tones. We used to
listen to a lot of the Def tones.

1845
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:55,731
Loved the Def tones.

1846
01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:57,689
- That's Ricky Mabe right there.
- That's our friend, Ricky Mabe.

1847
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:02,084
That's our cinematographer who's holding
me with the kitty-cat paint on his face.

1848
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:04,083
And his brother's beside him
with the eye patch.

1849
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:08,370
That's BTRO and JTRO,
or Brandon Trost and Jason Trost.

1850
01:30:08,440 --> 01:30:10,090
Or just the Tro Bros.

1851
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:12,322
We thought it would be good
if Danny had some fresh Air Jordans.

1852
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:14,767
Here's where we should say Danny Glicker,
our wardrobe designer.

1853
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:16,960
Yeah, that wasn't our idea.
That was the Glick's idea.

1854
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:17,967
He's an awesome guy.

1855
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:21,123
Danny Glicker could be considered
a modern-day genius. He is.

1856
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,521
Yeah, that's our cinematographer,
Brandon Trost,

1857
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:28,925
with the muscles painted on his body
and the kitty-cat nose.

1858
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:30,445
Now, a lot of people are probably wondering

1859
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:32,480
how the fuck did we get Channing Tatum
to do this?

1860
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:34,640
First, we should say
that's always Channing Tatum.

1861
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:36,682
- That's Channing Tatum.
- Like right now, touching Danny's dick.

1862
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:39,764
That's Channing.
It's never another guy with a mask on,

1863
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:42,047
and then it's only Channing
when he pulls the mask off.

1864
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:43,360
It's always Channing.

1865
01:30:43,440 --> 01:30:45,761
Two full nights
of Channing scampering around.

1866
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:48,161
I emailed him.

1867
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:50,481
We weren't gonna have
a famous person playing the sexual gimp

1868
01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:52,608
'cause we just assumed no one would.

1869
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:54,967
And then we were like,
"Maybe Channing will do it."

1870
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:58,123
And I emailed him literally saying,

1871
01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:01,124
"There's a scene
where Danny is a cannibal king,

1872
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:04,682
"and he has a gimp on the end of a leash
who he talks about butt-fucking.

1873
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:06,410
"And then we thought it would be funny

1874
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,330
"if he pulls off the mask,
and you reveal that it's you."

1875
01:31:09,440 --> 01:31:11,568
And I'm like, "I know this sounds crazy."

1876
01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:14,610
And I'm like, "This is it.
That's the whole role, basically."

1877
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:16,887
And I got an email back, like,
20 minutes later being like,

1878
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:19,964
"I'm in. I'll do it.
Where do you need me to be and when?"

1879
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:22,441
And he got cuts and scrapes.

1880
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:25,000
If you see some of the makeup,
it's mostly not makeup on his body.

1881
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:27,560
- Yeah, no, he was running around.
- He's got a scrape. He's bleeding.

1882
01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:31,611
- There is dirt all over him.
- Yeah, it's pretty spectacular.

1883
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:34,604
We had a good shot where he flashed
his taint at the screen at one point.

1884
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:37,047
We did a shot over his butt cheeks,
but it was a bit much.

1885
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:39,521
We actually were probably the first people

1886
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,001
that put too much
of Channing Tatum's body in a movie.

1887
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:45,209
We hit the limit. We found the wall.

1888
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:49,285
And the wall is basically
when you can see inside his butthole.

1889
01:31:50,480 --> 01:31:53,370
That's the wall, the butthole Wall.

1890
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:56,007
Eat this!

1891
01:31:57,360 --> 01:31:59,124
- You felt that one, Evan.
- Yeah.

1892
01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:00,401
That was a fake brick, you know.

1893
01:32:00,480 --> 01:32:03,290
I let the movies take
me where they need to.

1894
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:04,566
Let them take you where
they want you to be.

1895
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:05,846
I'm not the director.

1896
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:09,003
I'm just a guy watching the bloody movie
and going with the hits.

1897
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:12,721
Yeah, and that's Brandon's brother
with the eye patch, Jason.

1898
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:15,807
This is a lot of visual
effects going on here.

1899
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:17,370
Franco's standing on a box in that shot.

1900
01:32:17,440 --> 01:32:20,011
Franco fought us on this.
He didn't think he should die.

1901
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:22,400
He really didn't wanna die,
and we said, "You have to die."

1902
01:32:22,440 --> 01:32:26,126
And then he actually came up with this idea
that he starts getting sucked up,

1903
01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:29,568
and then he's being petty,
and so it doesn't keep him.

1904
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:31,369
That joke's literally
from a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

1905
01:32:31,480 --> 01:32:33,448
The way the light turns off.

1906
01:32:33,520 --> 01:32:37,684
It turns off, he looks around and
then falls, which is so stupid.

1907
01:32:39,120 --> 01:32:41,248
Now, here's the biggest moment
that didn't make the movie.

1908
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:44,403
Yeah, we had it
that Channing cut Franco's foot off.

1909
01:32:44,480 --> 01:32:45,720
And you see every moment
of what we're explaining.

1910
01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:49,361
And Channing pulls his mask off
and then eats Franco's bloody stump.

1911
01:32:49,440 --> 01:32:51,966
- As blood sprays all over his face.
- As blood is spraying all over his face.

1912
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:53,530
Screaming like a hyena.

1913
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:57,082
Yeah, and audiences just don't wanna see
Channing Tatum do that.

1914
01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:59,242
That's what we learned also.

1915
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:01,971
They wanna see him do almost everything
except eat James Franco's foot.

1916
01:33:02,040 --> 01:33:05,886
I don't think that's on the DVD.
That should be on the DVD.

1917
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:09,407
- The Channing stump.
- The full Channing stump effect.

1918
01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:11,161
Over here.

1919
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:12,969
- What? Over here, over here.
- Here. What?

1920
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:15,247
I always wished this chase
was a little more exciting.

1921
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:17,089
We didn't really have much time
to film it, though.

1922
01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:20,243
This is a symptom of our budget,
I would say, more than anything.

1923
01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:22,049
I feel like before we ramp into the end,

1924
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:24,805
we should mention the one person
we haven't, which is James Weaver,

1925
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:26,928
- our fellow producer.
- James Weaver, our producer.

1926
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,606
Who made all this happen
with his hard work.

1927
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:32,126
He did. Did he?

1928
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:34,441
- I think he helped.
- I think he did, too.

1929
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,682
Not like a lot.

1930
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:40,526
- But he was there.
- He was around the whole time.

1931
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:42,125
And we should thank the studio

1932
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:45,647
for helping make this
the biggest comedy of all time.

1933
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:48,769
It's crazy how they doubled Superman's
marketing budget at the last minute.

1934
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:50,444
- I know. It's amazing.
- And went all in like that.

1935
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:53,291
And it's crazy how no one's won
every Oscar before.

1936
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:56,170
Yeah, but thanks to Sony
and their relentless spending...

1937
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,971
And it's cool
how we won Best Foreign Film, even,

1938
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:01,281
- 'cause we're not even a foreign film.
- We're Canadian.

1939
01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:03,368
I know. They figured out a way to do that.
It was cool.

1940
01:34:03,440 --> 01:34:07,206
Yeah, so big ups to Sony for all the money
they were just hurling at this.

1941
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:09,521
Let's talk demon dick
for a couple minutes now.

1942
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:11,602
If you're just joining us,
this is Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg,

1943
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:13,409
- doing the commentary.
- And we're talking demon dick

1944
01:34:13,480 --> 01:34:15,801
- on June 7th here.
- It's June 7th, 2013.

1945
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,446
You know, getting on our knees
and talking about dick.

1946
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:20,409
So this demon didn't have a dick at first.

1947
01:34:20,480 --> 01:34:24,246
Obviously, all this is computer-generated.
We couldn't afford to find a real demon.

1948
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:25,685
For the last time in our lives,

1949
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:27,410
we had the thought
maybe we shouldn't do a dick joke.

1950
01:34:27,480 --> 01:34:30,643
"Maybe we shouldn't do a dick," we thought.
We thought, "Maybe we're better than that."

1951
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:33,405
We thought, "Maybe our ending
is so exciting and good,

1952
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:37,844
"we don't need a giant dick joke in order
to make it really sing, as it were."

1953
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:40,890
And then what we saw was
a giant, fleshy mound

1954
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:44,487
where a giant joke could be flopping.

1955
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,450
Well, and we made a mistake at first.
We tried a small dick.

1956
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:48,521
We thought maybe like,

1957
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:52,400
"People are gonna expect a big dick.
Let's go with a reallyjiggly small dick

1958
01:34:52,480 --> 01:34:55,211
- "with a big bush."
- It's, like, a little normal dick.

1959
01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:56,920
And then that just didn't read that well.

1960
01:34:56,960 --> 01:35:00,885
- Well, 'cause the humor is the flop.
- Yeah, the flopping dick.

1961
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:04,646
So then, it wasn't until later
that we decided to give it this giant dick.

1962
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:07,047
And even still, it wasn't until later

1963
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:11,603
that we realized we can cut the dick off
and have it crush a skyscraper.

1964
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:14,331
So that was really exciting to us.

1965
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:17,449
- We got to shout-out to Paul Linden.
- Our visual effects supervisor.

1966
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:20,046
Big help on that dick.

1967
01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:22,964
- He really brought that dick to life.
- He brought that dick to life.

1968
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:27,121
This was all shot
on a green screen essentially.

1969
01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:30,050
From when my feet leave the ground on.

1970
01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:33,209
This is just me and Jay hanging from wires.

1971
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:39,606
And everything else was done in post.
All this stuff.

1972
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:43,880
It was hard to give it a sense of scale.

1973
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:46,610
We found clouds helped a lot.

1974
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:48,523
The more clouds it was pushing through,

1975
01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:51,080
and the more you can see it
amongst the clouds,

1976
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:53,811
and moving through the clouds was helpful.

1977
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:57,009
And seeing the buildings like that
in the streets was helpful.

1978
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:02,684
Giving it its massive size wasn't easy.
Shots like this helped.

1979
01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:08,051
And we found putting buildings in the
foreground was helpful to help scale it.

1980
01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:11,602
Yeah, this wasn't easy,
this whole sequence.

1981
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,411
Yeah, the whole going up
and going down with the beam.

1982
01:36:14,480 --> 01:36:17,324
- Yeah, that was hard...
- But none of it matters, 'cause this song.

1983
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:20,688
The fact that we have this song
is fucking insane.

1984
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:25,209
And every time it comes on, I think, "I
can't believe they let us use this song."

1985
01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:27,521
Yeah, to the people
at the Whitney Houston estate...

1986
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:28,840
- We thank you.
- God bless you.

1987
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:30,251
Hats off to you.

1988
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:31,685
You have a great sense of humor.

1989
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:35,446
Yeah. It's really amazing.
Or you just love money.

1990
01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:36,971
I think they got the humor.

1991
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:39,884
Either way, we thank you.

1992
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:41,966
We think some people are thinking,

1993
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:45,169
"Seth's gonna die right now.
He's gonna get eaten."

1994
01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:49,650
As Whitney Houston comes in,
we cut a giant demon's dick off.

1995
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:52,961
- And its balls explode. Don't forget it.
- And save me. Its balls explode!

1996
01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:56,442
It flops to the ground
and crushes the building.

1997
01:36:56,520 --> 01:36:58,522
- As one does.
- As one does.

1998
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:01,922
We kept saying, "Floppier,"
to the visual effects house.

1999
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,243
- "But the penis would not flop like this."
- "It would not flop like this."

2000
01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:07,322
Now this is our best shot
from anything we've ever done.

2001
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,402
And here again, we'd say, "Floppier."

2002
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:11,091
There's some smoke coming off of it.

2003
01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:14,124
- That's our opus right there, that shot.
- It's true.

2004
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:17,570
That's what they played
when we won the Oscars, that shot.

2005
01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:20,484
When they invented an Oscar for us.

2006
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:23,211
Now, okay, we'll be honest.

2007
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:26,250
Originally, when we wrote the movie,
there was a heaven sequence.

2008
01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:30,007
And then we thought it was stupid,
so we cut the heaven sequence.

2009
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:32,686
'Cause we thought
we just didn't execute it very well.

2010
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:36,321
And the movie ended literally with
this shot that you're looking at right now.

2011
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:38,528
This was the last shot of the movie.

2012
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:41,171
Fade to white. The end.

2013
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:42,526
That didn't work very well.

2014
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,171
Literally, every audience was like,
"Why the hell didn't you show heaven?"

2015
01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:46,571
"Where's heaven?
Why didn't you show heaven?"

2016
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:49,484
"You couldn't think of a heaven?
You thought of so much crazy shit.

2017
01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:51,324
"Would it fucking kill you
to think of a heaven?"

2018
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:53,209
And then with our Sony rainbow.

2019
01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:57,842
Yes, we decided
that we needed to think of a heaven.

2020
01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:01,720
And so we thought...

2021
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:03,768
This is what we thought of, basically.

2022
01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:06,965
Our high point in the movie...

2023
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:10,442
First, there was a lot of debate. Who's in heaven?
Are all the guys in heaven?

2024
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:15,571
As dumb as the logic of the movie is,
we couldn't go against our logic,

2025
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:18,564
so it had to be only the people
who went to heaven are in heaven.

2026
01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:20,847
So that's only Craig, basically.

2027
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:22,729
And then we thought,
"What happens in heaven?"

2028
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:24,768
And we always said,
"They could smoke weed with Bob Marley.

2029
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:26,842
"Play guitar with Jimi Hendrix.
Dance with Michael Jackson.

2030
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:28,200
"Get a BJ from Marilyn Monroe."

2031
01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:30,163
But then you're just like...
It's all impersonators.

2032
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:33,642
And you've kind of seen that joke
in a million things before.

2033
01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:36,286
So we thought this wish fulfillment thing
was funny

2034
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:38,761
where anything they wish will happen.

2035
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:41,081
And then we thought,
"What would they wish for?"

2036
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:44,289
And the Backstreet Boys thing,
independently, always played well.

2037
01:38:44,360 --> 01:38:48,331
And again, it's kind of like Seth and Jay's
emotional high point in the movie

2038
01:38:48,440 --> 01:38:52,081
where we're getting along the best,
and we're the happiest.

2039
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:54,401
And I was trying to figure it out one night
with my wife,

2040
01:38:54,480 --> 01:38:56,767
and she jokingly, when we were watching
the start of the movie,

2041
01:38:56,840 --> 01:39:00,606
said, "Wouldn't that be cool
if it was the Backstreet Boys?"

2042
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:04,127
And then I came to work, and I remember
I told you and just forgot.

2043
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:06,726
And then later on, it just came back.

2044
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:08,564
It just came back.
"What if it was the Backstreet Boys?"

2045
01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:11,610
It came back
like the Backstreet Boys came back.

2046
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:13,967
Are you giving Lisa credit
for thinking of this?

2047
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:15,610
- She did.
- I don't think that's true.

2048
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:17,449
- She did, man.
- I'm taking credit away from your wife.

2049
01:39:17,520 --> 01:39:20,410
- You can't. She took it. She took it.
- I'm saying that's bullshit.

2050
01:39:20,480 --> 01:39:24,087
I think you're just trying to do this
to try to get more goodwill from her.

2051
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:26,248
More sex from my wife? No.

2052
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:29,164
I think it was my wife's idea.

2053
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:30,651
How about they came up with it together?

2054
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:32,210
How about our wives
came up with it together?

2055
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:33,321
This was our wives' idea.

2056
01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:34,811
The whole heaven sequence
was our wives' idea.

2057
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:36,325
Our wives came up with this stuff.

2058
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:38,402
My wife came up with more of it.

2059
01:39:38,480 --> 01:39:41,529
But my wife came up with the good stuff.

2060
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:45,529
We shot this whole thing on a green screen,
which was kind of fun, actually.

2061
01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:49,241
I kind of enjoyed shooting
all on a green screen.

2062
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:51,322
And now,
the fucking Backstreet Boys came out.

2063
01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:52,686
I can't believe we got all of them.

2064
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:56,321
I knew it was a good idea, 'cause
Jay Baruchel literally hates everything.

2065
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:59,483
You tell him anything, and he's like,
"Really? That's what we're doing?"

2066
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:02,211
Literally, if you're like, "I like the
blues," "I don't like the blues."

2067
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:03,486
He doesn't like the Beatles.

2068
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:05,364
"You're into the Beatles?
I don't like the Beatles." Really?

2069
01:40:05,440 --> 01:40:08,284
And then I remember when we told him,
"We have to re-shoot this thing.

2070
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:10,681
"We wanna shoot a new ending,
and we got the Backstreet Boys."

2071
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:13,525
I was ready for him to be like,
"The Backstreet Boys, come on."

2072
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:16,206
And he literally went, "Really?"
And we were like, "Yeah."

2073
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:20,325
And then he went, "All of them?"
I was like, "Yeah, we got all of them."

2074
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:22,846
And he was like,
"That's amazing. That's awesome."

2075
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:24,081
And that was when I was like...

2076
01:40:24,160 --> 01:40:25,207
- There's Zelda again.
- There's Zelda.

2077
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:26,327
Ahjhai made it to heaven.

2078
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:28,801
And me and my wife are in the background
of that Zelda shot.

2079
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:33,010
And then that's when we realized
the Backstreet Boys might be a good idea,

2080
01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:34,684
and that the people might enjoy it.

2081
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:36,922
If Jay likes it, and Jay hates everything,

2082
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:40,561
then maybe your average audience member
will like it too.

2083
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:43,763
What's amazing is we only had
like 100 people when we shot this,

2084
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:46,081
and it looks like there's
10,000 people there.

2085
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:47,889
All of this stuff is fake.

2086
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:51,169
That was Evan and his wife dancing.
Evan looked like Moses.

2087
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:55,361
The Backstreet Boys,
they brought the thunder.

2088
01:40:55,440 --> 01:40:56,885
- They really did it.
- We have to thank them.

2089
01:40:56,960 --> 01:40:58,200
They're the real heroes here.

2090
01:40:58,320 --> 01:41:00,402
So I guess our final thanks
is to the motherfucking Backstreet Boys.

2091
01:41:00,480 --> 01:41:01,527
Is to the Backstreet Boys.

2092
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:02,965
Backstreet is back.

2093
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:05,361
They never really left.

2094
01:41:05,440 --> 01:41:06,851
One more thing.

2095
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:08,809
See how all these title cards
are different colors?

2096
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:11,884
We had to tell them three times to do that

2097
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:13,809
because they thought we were joking,
because it was so stupid.

2098
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:18,164
We're big Stanley Kubrick fans,
and he did that.

2099
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:19,401
In Eyes Wide Shut, he did that.

2100
01:41:19,480 --> 01:41:22,370
It's very simple font,
and they just use different bright colors.

2101
01:41:22,440 --> 01:41:24,010
And we were like, "Let's try that."

2102
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:25,241
And I'll never forget. They were like...

2103
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:28,051
There literally was a chuckle,
and we were like, "Okay."

2104
01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:31,488
And we had to keep telling them.

2105
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:33,085
It just makes it fun,
'cause you're like, "Green. Blue."

2106
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:34,844
It's fun. You're like,
"What color is gonna be next?

2107
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:36,922
"Oh, my God. James Franco is blue.
What does that mean?"

2108
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:38,490
"I wonder why they chose pink for Jonah."

2109
01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:40,528
"Why did they show pink for Jonah?
Ls there a subtext?"

2110
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:42,284
- "Seth's red."
- "Seth Rogen is red. What an egomaniac.

2111
01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:44,840
"He picked the brightest color."

2112
01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:46,649
Anyway, if you're just joining us,

2113
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,929
this is the end
of the This Is the End commentary.

2114
01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:54,125
I hope you enjoyed this.
I hope you learned a lot.

2115
01:41:54,200 --> 01:41:56,965
Your support is what helped us win
the Oscars, the Grammys,

2116
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:58,644
- and all the other awards that we've won.
- All the stuff.

2117
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:00,370
We won a Pulitzer for this film.

2118
01:42:00,440 --> 01:42:01,771
And again, thanks to Sony

2119
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:05,242
forjust pissing money away
like it was nothing on the Oscar campaign.

2120
01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:09,450
Yeah, just spending all that money
on our four-year consideration campaign.

2121
01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:11,642
I think... Is that it?

2122
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:13,848
Yeah, I'm gonna go see Fast 6 right now.

2123
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:16,764
I might join you, Evan. I might join you.

2124
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:18,490
We should see if Neal will come.

2125
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:20,722
And do a commentary for us.

2126
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,485
So I guess that's the
end of the commentary.

2127
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:26,564
- Okay, see you guys. Thank you.
- Live strong.
