I mean, also Pacino and the, like, so basically he has 88 minutes to live. He just seems unfazed by that. And to the point where he's like, I gotta get my files out. Just find out who's on the top list of people who want to kill me. And his other guesses are, is it you? Like, just anybody. Everybody. It's everybody within his peripheral vision. It's all the people that are right there. It's like Lili Sobieski. Molly Ringwald. Molly Ringwald, yeah. And the guy from the OC, Ben McKenzie.

22:22And when they did that push in on all their faces, I was like, is this a joke? It's obviously not someone, is it? Could it be? I instantly was like, oh, it's all of them. I didn't think it was going to be like. They all looked at him with fuck me eyes. Yeah, including the OC kid. Yeah, everybody was looking at him like the Indiana Jones. Including Guy Lafarge. Yeah, Guy Lafarge was up for it. I just want you guys to know that the guy who wrote this movie also wrote a lot of the Fast and the Furious movies.

22:53Jason Mantzoukas:Hollow Men and then K-9 the Jim Belushi dog movie oh my god yes and then the I guess the sequel to Time Cop called Time Cop Berlin Decision I thought you were going to say the sequel to K-9 K-10 that would be amazing I want to yell more about this movie just bring up anything well there was a sequence that really made me crazy which was when okay so they get they all have to leave the university because there's a bomb scare he goes down to his to his car to get out of there. Lili, what's her last name? Baby Helen Hunt. Yeah, Baby Helen Hunt. Baby Helen Hunt. He finds Baby Helen Hunt in a stairwell and she's saying that she's just been stabbed or attacked.

23:32She's just been attacked. He spends, I think, two minutes of screen time running around looking for a guy who has blood on his hands. And they don't, and they, remember one of them is a woman? One of the cars that he stops is a woman? Oh, yes. This is my favorite part. Let me see your hands.

23:52Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah, because she said that she cut their hands. I bit their hands. And then basically Al Pacino stopping everyone in the parking lot. Let me see your hands. I want that as my ringtone. Let me see your hands. But looking back at it all, because at the end of the movie we find out that she is the copycat. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. She's the Seattle Slayer. Can I just jump ahead to that? Yeah, go on. She effortlessly is repelling the girl. Yes. Oh, I have a big problem with this. It took two men to pull her up, but Lili could do it with one hand. Well, she has psycho strength. Yes. Lili Sobieski at the end is revealed to be the murderer and has her next victim hanging above an auditorium or some big thing and is holding it in one hand and is able to start tape recorders and do whatever she wants to do.

24:40Jason Mantzoukas:She makes a phone call. She's so easy. She lets the woman fall 10 feet, then effortlessly pulls her back up. Pulls her right back up. And then all of a sudden, when the action scene happens, the woman drops and Al Pacino's like, ugh. And then Al Pacino's buddy, a cop, they both are like, ugh. They're trying to pull her back up and now it's impossible, guys. It's impossible. But that is, like we said, that is at the end. Can I please, one more thing about that? Was she blind? I don't know what was going on. Who? What? No one else was confused. I know she wasn't really blind. But there's a moment.

25:12Let me explain. What are you talking about? Well, get ready for something weird. I'm so excited. Al Pacino comes in and Lili Soledad, the movie's so bad I would have believed anything. Yeah. And for a brief moment, I'm being vulnerable right now. I thought that Lili Soledad, another twist, was that she was blind.

25:34Listen, I will play it for you right now and you'll know what I'm talking about. Al Pacino comes in and he has a gun drawn. Yes. And she's got that weird vacant face. Like she's not looking at anything. She's just kind of like soft focus. And she says, is that a gun? And she goes, is that a gun? Do you have a gun? And he goes, yes, I have a gun. And then she goes, put it down. And then he's like, I've put it down and slide it over to me. And then he tries to slide it just a little bit. I was like, because she's blind. Oh, and now I'm remembering, actually, there's another point in that scene where he keeps on saying a number of times, what if I were to tell you there was an FBI agent pointing a gun to your head?

26:08I was like, oh, my God. I played it back in my mind. I was like, we didn't ever see her reading or anything. You know what?

26:13Jason Mantzoukas:She could have been blind. She could have been blind. We never saw that map. That's in the DVD extras. Well, there clearly were things in this movie that were done all in post. And the one thing that I want to bring my attention to is there's a scene in the car with the girl, the redhead. Kim Cummings. Kim Cummings. And she's with Al Pacino. Best porn name of a real character in an ordinary movie. Most unnecessary sweater removal goes to. Oh, my God. Well, she obviously. She wants to fuck him, too. Oh, my God. She is like gunning for Pacino. Oh, big time. Big time. And like he's over in his amazing loft, which by the way, when he enters into the loft, the security guard, like he has a thing like, how'd you know my name?

26:55Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah. You're the security guard who works in this fucking building. And then Kim and the security guard share a look that is like real weird. I'm remembering that differently. It's a temp guy. He goes, where's Earl? But you know, you're right that there's something fucked up happening. He goes, where's Earl? And he goes, oh, I'm not the, but he might as well just go, I'm not the murderer. I'm a suspect as well. That also happened when Molly Ringwald is in the parking garage. She's like, what are you doing here? And she's like, I'm just coming here to get my car where I always leave it. I'm not the murderer.

27:24She might as well just do that.

27:25Jason Mantzoukas:But I feel like everyone in this movie was acting like, everyone should say their line and then twirl their mustache. She's like, yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe. Everyone's a maybe. So this guy isn't Earl. The door guy isn't Earl. And he goes, Dr. What's his name? Dr. Graham. He goes, Dr. Graham, there's a package for you. And then he goes, okay. And then he goes, how did you know my name? And he goes, I didn't. It was a question. So let me get this straight. Everyone that comes in, you're going, Dr. Graham. And if you say yes, you get the package? What kind of a door guy are you? This is why you're a goddamn temp and not a real door guy.

27:57Jason Mantzoukas:Maybe the killer went in and said, when you see a very short man with a crazy beard and very tanned skin come in. It's going to look a child to you or I. It's a Lord of the Rings reference. His head will not go past your desk. if you see when you see a pop of your if you see troll hair walking by your desk if you look you see a man that belongs atop a pencil give him this there were so many eerie shots of that door guy that I thought for sure still still investing and committing to the movie I was like surely this man is important a solid 90 % of this movie is Al Pacino answering and talking to him on a cell phone this movie should just be called telephone call And he's always like.

28:42Phone calls. Yeah. You know what? And there's always call waiting and stuff. He's like, let me conference you in. So much so. He's getting faxes and shit. The bad guy is able to just hijack phone calls. That's it. He's on the phone at one point with whoever he's on the phone with. And then the bad guy's like, did you get my package? There's no rule. You can't do that.

29:02Jason Mantzoukas:There's no rule. He just jumped in. I mean, oh. And so basically. Can I say one thing? Yeah, go ahead. about the door guy is you know what this movie's like? It's like life because you keep meeting people that don't have anything to do with anything. It's like, I'm Ben. I'm like, you don't have anything to do with my storyline. Why do you have a full name? I can't deal with this. Thank you. Everyone has a full name. What about Sarah Jacobs? What about Bethany Monroe? This movie. Who are all these people? Why does everybody have full names? There's a girl who literally walks by and goes, hi, Dr.

29:37Graham. And he goes, hi, Lauren. that's the sum total of her acting performance hi Lauren why do we care about Lauren is she a suspect

29:46Jason Mantzoukas:I feel like Al Pacino's like I got a name everybody I'm a very famous guy on this campus hey Al could you stop making up names for the day players hello Trisha McDonald nice to meet you how's your yogurt shop I hope it's doing well I enjoy that yogurt very much I'll see you tomorrow I only do yogurt Mondays and Wednesdays goodbye Trisha McDonald so much information and it's flushed immediately if you watch this movie and I hope you do pay no attention pay no attention you'll learn all these people the doorman I do want to point this out I don't know how to say it but picture the doorman putting his face against the wall and kind of just like he also does that thing he's like alright and he's just staring at him like with his face wait the wall?

30:28Jason Mantzoukas:he like kind of rounds that corner when Al Pacino's getting into the elevator and he's kind of like just staring at him Super creepy. And he's got like a scar on his neck. And like a weird eye. He's a killer. But everybody's the killer. But why was Kim giving him that crazy look? Who knows? And why did he? They used the take where he explained that somebody called and he uses the flashlight. Oh, yes. The phone. He's like, yeah, somebody called for you. And he holds up the flashlight. And he did that in a scene with Al Pacino. Hey, Mike. Mike, I like the choice you're making just to tell Pacino somebody called for him.

31:03But maybe he's not going to get what a call is. So could you just hold up, I don't know, hold up your flashlight to your ear to insinuate that it's a fault? I actually think that's the only guy in the movie that was aware that it was a comedy. He was like, I'm going to do it funny. I'm going to do a funny take.

31:18Jason Mantzoukas:Well, I almost forgot about my favorite scene, which is, I guess there's smoke coming through the building and they have to escape. And then Al Pacino does this thing where he jumps in front of a fire truck for no reason, just to roll out of the way of it. alone in my apartment daylight laughed for about a minute. That made me really sad because I felt like that was totally added in because Al Pacino's like, you know, I want to look like a little guy. That really bumped me out. He's a terrible, I love Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is a great runner. Al Pacino, not a good runner. Every time he runs, he looks like he's holding two eggs in his hands that he doesn't want to break.

31:53And it was so sad because it wasn't like he was doing anything heroic or trying to help. He just got in the way of a A fire truck and just kind of rolled out of the way of it. And then his car blows up. Spoiler. His car blows up. And we all knew it was going to blow up. But then I was like, the whole point is that they're going to kill him at a specific time. Yes. But they rigged his car to blow up. Just so they could get him early? What if they did get him? It would have been like, well, fuck. I had this whole finale where I'm wearing the Catwoman suit and I'm baby Helen Hunt. But there's no, like.

32:25And why was that apartment on fire? Why did anything happen? I think to drive them out. Why did anything happen? Like a bomb scare? I think to get them out of the apartment. It was around that moment that I realized this movie wasn't 34 blocks or whatever. Oh, yeah. I thought it was going to be like that. I was like, why isn't this in New York?

32:44Jason Mantzoukas:34 blocks would be another one we should do. I'm sure that's just equally bad. This movie's priceless. Go ahead. Oh, I was just going to say, this is the point where he hijacks the cab. Yes, right. is so oh but the right before that at this point in the movie though you want him to just say get out of the cab like we're going I am going to die he's negotiating he's like how you doing I'll give you a hundred dollars if you let me take your cab if I can drive your cab you can stay in it what is your full name what is your wife's name what's her maiden name it's like a memory the whole movie's a memory game at the end oh wait did we forget about the where did he get married the interview on TV oh yes That's one of the things I was going to say.

33:25Did we jump that? Yeah, because that happened in the apartment. The bad guy. He conferences in Mike Ditka. He calls Mike Ditka. Wait, what? The guy with the slick air.

33:35Jason Mantzoukas:He looks like Mike Ditka. The guy that he wronged for. Neil McDonough. He calls. Neil McDonough is on MSNBC, rather. Yes, yes. Being interviewed. With like Deirdre McConnell. I still don't get it. He's like, it's being simulcast. Just set up to 7. He's like, call MSNBC and get me on with this guy. What does that even mean? And so he calls in. He has minutes to live. Yes. But it has time to call MSNBC to talk to those, to talk to Neil McDonough and like try and he's like, I'm going to, I'm going to mess with his head. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him to come out of his shell.

34:09Jason Mantzoukas:And that's probably the best Pacino of it. Yeah. Like in the movie. Yeah. Tell me. Tell me about Dama. Dama did it. You did it. You fucking cocksucker. And then they have this argument where like, oh, by the way, this movie is obsessed with TiVo. Yeah. You hear that. That was added in post. Because they realized later, they were like, he just pauses the television? Isn't it 1990? Oh, it's 2000. And then also he, in the middle of the interview, the guy gets a stay of execution. And then he just stopped the interview. Yeah. The interview's over. Like, okay. They just go away from him. They were in the middle of this heated exchange.

34:45And Pacino just pushes pause and hangs up. Yeah. and then can we also he called in to CNN or whatever MSNBC MSNBC MSNBC MSNBC he calls in it's not enough that he's having a conversation with the guy that's on his TV we got the fucking cop partner conferenced in so he can hear it too I kept wanting to be like simulcast 750 a.m. why would anyone hear he must be on a delay yes there's no way he can be in real time on the TV and listening to the TV it would literally be a delay and they would be like please turn your TV off yeah

35:18Jason Mantzoukas:go into another room. And the other thing was too, are you watching this while you're doing it? What the fuck? And the picture of him that they use on the TV when he's called in is like a jack-off shot. It's almost like, hey, hey, hey, Jack, right here. And he's like, huh? He looks like he's been frightened by a ghost. Yeah. And I love the fact that - He's unaware that his photo's being taken in that photo. It's just like, oh. His cop buddy is listening, and the cop buddy knows that he has 88 minutes to live. and the guy's like, the killer's like, what if you only had minutes to live? They're like clearly saying like he's in on it.

35:53Jason Mantzoukas:And then the cop buddy's like, doesn't trust him two seconds after that. It's like, ah, you're lying. Look, we are so hesitant to upgrade our sleeping situation. It's hard.

This movie was so clearly written by one person. What I mean by that is every character is the same.

39:47They all just kind of talk the same. Everything is just in service of the story. And this is the thing that I wrote down that's funny. To round this thought out. We didn't talk about how he breaks his cell phone for no reason. Right. There's a scene where he breaks his cell phone. And then takes kids. Yes. And you have to watch American treasure Al Pacino pretend to drop his cell phone in the stairwell. And it's broken in a way that only could be done with like a bullet. Yeah. And he just dropped it on the ground the way we do. Yeah, he gingerly dropped it. He gingerly, and he kind of gives it a little voice.

40:18He bobbles it. He's going, oh, oh. But boy, the scene is like, what if I maybe do like a bobble? John, John, get over here. John, I had an idea. What if I bobble the phone? I'm looking at the phone. and I'm looking at the way it's broken, right? And I don't... I can't do it without Al Pacino.

40:35Jason Mantzoukas:You're great. I love that Al Pacino. I don't think it would be realistic if I don't bottle it. So anyway, no reason. He breaks the cell phone and you're like, oh, that's kind of interesting because now he doesn't have any contact with the killer and the whole premise of the movie is that he's going to be reminded how many men... And then he just gets another phone. And he gets Kim's phone. And he gets all his calls forwarded to that phone. Why were we forced to watch that? What's the point? What is the point of that? And then my favorite moment is at the end when he kills Lili Sobieski. He saves the day.

41:08Jason Mantzoukas:Everything's going good. And the killer calls him on the phone thinking that he's Lili Sobieski. And then he has a big speech to him. He's like, you messed up. And he's holding the phone apart from his head. Yes. An interesting choice. And then he goes, what do you think? He says, like, 12 hours to live. Tick tock. and then he just throws the phone. I saw the phone. Okay, I'm the same guy that thought Lili might be blind, but I thought the phone was going to explode. It would have made as much sense. That was his backup plan was an exploding phone. Oh, yeah? Nine. And then the whole thing was like when he goes up to confront Lili Sobieski, she makes him confess.

41:50Jason Mantzoukas:And he confesses immediately. He confesses immediately, but I don't understand as a viewer if he did coach those people, if he did hide evidence, because at the end of the movie, he kind of takes that tape and puts it in his pocket. Guys, what was she going to do with that tape? I don't know. She's a murderer at this point. She's not going to go and now introduce it as evidence, right? It doesn't make any fucking sense. I guess every part of the movie, too, because there's a couple moments where the Molly Ringwald clone calls him up and she's like, I did it. I'm behind the whole thing. You're like, oh, okay, I buy it.

42:21Jason Mantzoukas:No, and that's because Lili Sobieski has a gun to their head. But you don't know it at that point. But even at that point, you're like, okay, I guess. That always seemed really obvious to me, though. I know we could see her and she was sweating and stuff, but he would always buy it. He'd be like, hey, meet me in your apartment. It's me. I've been setting you up. It's me. And he's like, he keeps getting those calls. Well, the whole tape that sets off the whole day is a woman going like, Jack Graham totally lied and he did all this bad stuff. did I say everything you wanted to say now? Don't hurt me.

42:55Jason Mantzoukas:And it's like alright this tape implicates you. She was clearly under fucking duress. She said it on the tape. She mispronounced one of the words. She got nervous for the reading. Why would you believe someone who's like you then watch being murdered for over an hour. I have a question. Oh I guess Lili Zobieski got the semen from the hooker to place in those bodies? Yes because she made out with the hooker. Am I the only one that was, oh, wow. I stopped trying at that point. Also, in that scene where they were like, they found your semen in her vagina. I was like, ow, fucking taking some risks.

43:33I thought that too. Blowing loads right in the cave, right up there. I thought I was like, this is a girl he met at the bar. Wrap it up, buddy. Wrap it up.

43:41Jason Mantzoukas:Raw dogging it. Raw dogging it, Regina. I'm Jack Graham. Forensic scientist. I don't use condoms. That's the most absurd thing about this movie. A man who makes his living swabbing up semen just blows up everywhere. That's probably why he was so shocked to find out she was an escort. Wait, wait a minute. What? I've got to get chair back to that girl. That's why he was so upset. He's got to go in. Hang on. I thought she was a law student. I wouldn't have raw-dogged her if I knew she was an escort. He does. He spent 15 minutes going to a clinic to get tested. That explains this burning I've got.

44:19Uh-oh, I guess I do have 88 minutes to live. He's going to fucking die from an aesthetic.

44:25Jason Mantzoukas:June, do you want to do... We have a new segment that we would like to do here. This is a segment called Say What? And basically we're just going to take a piece of dialogue, if you guys remember this. It's just a dramatic reading. You should actually do a good Al Pacino. You read the Jack parts. Just take a second to read it over. And this is one of my... I'll be reading Shelly. All right, here we go. Shelly, there's been a break in my place. In my most... Sorry. In my most secure area. Did you ever give anyone clearance to go into my secure files? Jack, what are you saying? Did you ever let an unauthorized person into...

45:04I can't read it! This is a real line! Did you ever let an unauthorized person into my secure files area? That's a line that American treasure Al Pacino memorized and delivered multiple takes Or there was a better line that he forgot and just made that one up Give me the end of that Did you ever let an unauthorized person into my secure files area? I know you missed one of the words I did? I gotta get it right Did you ever let an unauthorized person into my secure files area? No, not ever. To anyone. Ever. That's a real line. Al heard that. These things happen. Did you? That sounds like the most dirty, my most secret, secure area.

45:57My secure files area? What does that mean? Where did the man touch you? Where did the man touch you in my most secure files area? I know you're an escort, but can I come in your most secure files area? Her name is Shelley, too. And there was actually a heartbreaking moment because Glengarry Glen Ross is one of my favorite movies of all time. And Jack Lemmon's name is Shelley. So there's a moment where Al Pacino goes, Shelley. And I'm like, aw. Yeah. So great. She also is De Niro's girlfriend in Heat. Really? Which is like the other Pacino crazy, you know, insane. Those two face off in the diner.

46:34But Amy Brenneman, like, how far has she fallen? moments though is when he calls her all of their scenes pretty much are over phone calls but he calls her to say call the cell phone company and find out who just called me and he's like trace the call just find out and she goes okay she hangs up and writes something on a postage she wrote trace I totally noticed she's gonna forget to do what he just asked her to do he said right now they were like do it when you have a chance it's like do this immediately and she was like if you told me what was going on I could help more no fucking do the trace.

47:09Get the fuck out of my goddamn face!

47:11Jason Mantzoukas:Obviously, we had some issues with the movie, but there are some people who really love it. I'm gonna visit some Amazon.com reviews for a second opinion.

47:22Jason Mantzoukas:Warren Christensen writes, Al Pacino is not disappointing. It's worth twice whatever you pay for it. Five stars. Milton K. Gonzalez. We should sell that guy copies of this movie for twice if they're worth it. That was my first impulse was to go on Facebook, type in 88 minutes and see who had it as their favorite movie. There's a lot of five star reviews. Milton K. Gonzalez's is my favorite, though. One of them. Well acted movie with a real definition of the story. Al Pacino is very good actor for this movie because when you see this film is like you are living it. Wow. He's right about that. Yeah, that's true.

48:03I kind of wish I had known that real-time 88-minute thing because it really did. I couldn't quite put my finger on what was so fucked up about it. We haven't even gotten into the significance of the 88 minutes. Oh, guys. The dead sister. Kate Graham. He listens to that tape, by the way. He gets a fucking serial killer, sends him a tape recorder. He's got Molly Ringwald in there removing sweaters for no reason. And posing on the stairs. Yes, and he just starts listening to it casually. He's like, I'm sure this is disturbing. Oh, it's my sister. Well, first he checks it for chemicals. First he checks it for chemicals.

48:38And then there aren't any useless. Why? That thought was in there. He was like, I have one of these things that they use at the TSA. Why? Scans it. Okay. Scans it. It's clean. He opens it. Not a bomb. He goes, not a bomb. And the scan screen was a gas mask. And he goes, scanning, scanning, scanning. Safe. Why? It's so bad. It's so bad. You have to watch it. He then has multiple, he has so many flashbacks in this movie. Yeah. He flashes back to the bar again. He flashes back to his dead sister flying a kite. Yes. He is like, he is a man who I believe might be having some sort of aneurysm. Where all he does is have continuous flashbacks.

49:17That scene where he's driving the first time you see his sister riding on the bike. Oh my God. There's already too much happening. And they introduce the sister being dead. And she was murdered over 88 minutes. This moment, too, is when Amy Brenneman does trace the call, she finds out that it's a cell phone that you can buy at a convenience store, but it was registered to the name Kate Graham. Which doesn't make any sense. And then she says, I'm sure this is a coincidence. Yes. Probably not. Probably not.

49:42Jason Mantzoukas:In your line of work, there should not be coincidence. When there are people that are killing you all the time, there's no coincidence. She's a bad secretary? I don't even know if she's a secretary or is number two. That was one of those lines where you could tell the movie was a little dated because She was like, it's one of those cell phones that you can buy and just load with minutes. A prepaid cell phone, I think they call it. But it was registered to someone's name. That's the point of a prepaid cell phone. It says like drug dealers use them. Don't have to register. She's like, it's a burner phone from The Wire.

50:14Jason Mantzoukas:So parting thoughts. Would you recommend that people watch this? Where does this fall on movies? I don't think it's watchable for sure. I don't know. I was really annoyed by it. I would say there's a good chance I'm going to watch it again with friends this time because it was a pure delight. And the funniest thing I've heard in months is he's not a cop. He's not a cop. He's not a cop. Everything will lead you to believe him to be a cop, but he is not a cop. The whole story here, like, oh, this is clearly not a cop. He's essentially a scientist. Which is irrelevant. Oh, man. That is the funniest thing.

50:53He's essentially a scientist.

50:55Jason Mantzoukas:If you do watch this movie, which I don't know if I recommend, but it actually opens up this whole world of the second life of Al Pacino, which I think we should get into on this show. He might be our new Nicolas Cage. Oh, my God. There's one thing I did want to point out, which was Jet City Improv. I was going to say that. Wait, I didn't see that. I was going to say that. They're having a scene. Him and the cop are having a scene, and behind him, perfectly framed is a flyer for an improv company, like a Seattle improv company. The whole movie. I can't believe you didn't see it. That's funny. I didn't see that.

51:26As if the whole movie was a ruse just to plug Jet City Improv. Because they're in Seattle, at one point he gets into a car and there's talk radio on it. I was like, please let it be Frasier Crane. I was like begging for it to be like, hello, Seattle. Dr. Frasier Crane here. I'm listening.

51:43Jason Mantzoukas:And I just typed in on my computer, Jet City Improv. It is real. Seattle's best comedy show. Seattle's short form improv troupe offers all ages shows and classes. And Al Pacino. I would like them to call in. I love these guys. I would like them to call in and let us know if they - I saw these guys in Seattle. I want to advertise them at 88 minutes. They're great. Can we get a - And it's not really even a proper flyer. It seems like something that you would make and just pop it up. Can I get a suggestion of a space that would fit on this stage? I'll give you$100 for your cab. So that is 88 minutes.

52:14Jason Mantzoukas:Can I move the seat up? I'm sorry. It was just a good hour podcast. $100 not for your cab, really. Let me be clear. Okay, okay. $100 plus tip. That's right. Sit in the back while I investigate. Yep, I'm going to drive. You'll be in a lot of shots. You'll especially be in the shot. Kim's going to sit in the passenger seat. Kim's going to sit up here. She looks weird. She's suspicious. She carries a gun. She's in an abusive relationship. Please, please. And she has a very strange waist area. And here's the Easter egg moment. I've talked weird. And here's the Easter egg moment. You have to just watch a completely 80-yard scene, which means they added in the dialogue way after the movie was done of Kim talking to him because she's never talking in the car.

52:57Jason Mantzoukas:It's all done over flashback and voiceover. It's so bad. I didn't notice that. When they had that whole conversation in the car, she was like, you need to give me answers. You need to tell me what's going on. She's not saying any of that. They just creatively shoot around her. They needed to do that because otherwise it would seem that his monologue about his sister was out of nowhere. Which it probably was. They got some studio notes and they went back with Ringwald. and then ring all bizarre wing roll thank you guys so much for listening thank you Pete Holmes thank you guys anything you want to plug anything Pete just you made it weird man other podcast people enjoy that one I'm going to have all these people on me and you are at Pete Holmes at Twitter right Pete Holmes with a Z oh there you go alright Pete Holmes with a Z I'm Paul Shearer at Twitter at Miss June Diane I'm not on Twitter guys alright that's the way we do it see you next time bye bye oh and thank you very much to our engineer Dustin thank you so much for doing it Dustin thanks bye bye $100 for your camp All new drinks are now at McDonald's, like the Strawberry Watermelon Refresher and the Spriteberry Blast topped with cold foam.
