Last Looks: Law Abiding Citizen

24:24And I think it's the first time they execute one of their prisoners. So there's my omission. Thanks so much. I love your podcast. You guys do an awesome job.

24:32Jason Mantzoukas:Have a great day. Whoa. Well, I guess there's some Law & Order episodes I might've missed. Okay, well, there we go. I'm glad to know that this is true. And you know what? Score one point for the movie. Next up, Steve from New Jersey. Hi, Paul. Regarding law-abiding citizens, I thought it was hilarious that the CIA agent said we could not kill this guy for six months. Then we called in Jerry Butler, and he flipped a necktie into his wardrobe that strangled him to death. If they could get a necktie into his wardrobe, why couldn't they get a bomb into his bedroom? that is all have a great day well i mean come on it's so much easier to sneak a tie and you just put that on the shelf a bomb click click click there's wires there's buttons everything i think the necktie was great i i love that i think that that's a fun thing because you feel like oh my god they were in my house they put the thing there i put it on myself it's like the dog they snuck it in the dog that is where i think this movie should have done more and i think that's why this movie was viewed as a seven style film because it's like, you can't stop it.

25:50Jason Mantzoukas:You don't even know where it's coming from. You're actually doing it to yourself. This movie could have been so good. Okay. Now here's the thing. Lastly, we're going to do something a little bit different today. Now, normally this would only be about law abiding citizen, but we did a matinee episode of 88 minutes, Pete Holmes, Al Pacino movie. We put that back into the feed and someone called with a correction and omission that had to be discussed, had to be discussed. So please take it away, Anonymous. Hi, I just was listening to the episode 88 minutes with Pete Holmes and I had to stop and call in because they're currently debating whether or not Al Pacino is wearing a wig in the movie.

26:41And I actually did his makeup and hair for something just a few years after that movie came out. And I can confirm that that is his hair. Also, that is his hair because that's how he wants his hair styled. So when I worked with him, it was for an interview. It was not a union shoot. So I was doing his makeup and his hair, and he was lovely, and I did his makeup. And then when I went to do his hair, I reached out to touch it, and my fingers just grazed against it for one moment as I was going to start to style it. And he dodged my hand, like slipped his head to the side and said, no, no, no, no, no, the hair is fine.

27:25Thank you so much. The hair is good. and what I had felt when my fingers made contact was it clearly had been doused in it just an enormous amount of hairspray which makes sense in hindsight considering um the the height ratio to the to the depths it was very very thin but incredibly tall and this is only a few years later. That's like four years after 88 minutes, but it was thinner and considerably taller even than in 88 minutes. So I would also venture to guess that the makeup or the hair department on the film used, you know, there's various powders and things you can apply to make it look fuller, but definitely it was the way that it was because he had really strong feelings about his hair height especially and uh when I was done with everything not his hair he was like okay great thank you and the producers came up to me and they were like hey um did you want to uh touch the hair a little bit and I said I tried and he ducked away from me and said the hair is good I believe he did it himself and they said then it looks great and so I didn't tell anyone that I I did Al Pacino's hair and makeup that day for that project, even though it was really exciting for my career.

28:52I didn't want people to think that I did that to his hair. But he was really happy and it made him happy. And that makes me happy because he was a pretty nice guy. And that is all.

29:05Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. I don't. Wow. First of all, thank you for sharing that. I think he did it in the best possible way. You know, look, it's his hair. And I think old guys that used to have a big, thick head of hair, they get nervous when it gets a little bit different. I don't mind it being like that. It's not like a comb over, but I get it. There's things were happening, right? And maybe, you know, maybe there were things in there that all pull together. Wow. I love this. I love it. I love it. I love it. And I love that he's a good guy. I told you, or maybe I may have mentioned it.

29:44Jason Mantzoukas:I did a movie where he was hanging out with one of the actors in the film. And one day he just decided he would just wait in the car outside set the entire day. Never came to set, but just waited for his friend to come out. And I thought that was the sweetest thing. Al Pacino, great guy, great head of hair. And I feel like whenever I see it, it's still there. Who knows? Who knows what's going on? I don't need to hair shame anybody. but I'm glad that it's not a wig and I'm glad that he is that passionate about it because if he likes it, I love it. And you know what? Look, nothing is going to beat that.

30:19Jason Mantzoukas:I mean, truly, right? Nothing is going to beat a good old Al Pacino hair story. And you know what?

And And I'm always flabbergasted when they change things that make sense.

32:16Jason Mantzoukas:Anyway, you all are amazing. And coming up after the break, we are going to be joined by Jason Manzoukas. We're going to chat about TV, music, movies, and everything. But first, take a listen to this bonus deleted scene from our Law Abiding Citizen live show, where we go off on a tangent and we talk about the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman. We just did a movie that had Philip Hoffman, as he was credited His first screen role Which was as a high school student And it was absolutely bananas Really? My Boyfriend's Back is the movie And I cannot recommend it enough On the queue Say less He was doing almost a Comedia dell 'arte performance It's like hat backwards Like, what's up man?

33:01Jason Mantzoukas:It's straight clown work I mean, I love, look I love Philip Seymour Hoffman Sure I love Philip Seymour Hoffman. But as you go back through the catalog, there are a lot of moments where you're like, the dude is chewing the scenery. Oh, chomp, chomp, chomp. He's eating everything at lunch and then everything during the second half of the day. Give it to me. Give it to me. Because I saw a clip of him in that movie with Ethan Hawke, The Devil Knows Your Girl. Oh, my God. And I remember loving that movie when I was... Who wrote that movie? Is that the Palma? It's Lumet. Lumet. Sidney Lumet. I remember loving that movie.

33:38I think it's Lumet's last movie. When you go back and watch it now, there are so many of those bad improv, where actors do improv, they don't know how, and they're just talking about, yeah, it's a nice day outside, huh? Nice day. I saw Ethan Hawke tell a great story about that movie that every morning Lumet would come to his, each of the, he would go and talk to them and kind of talk to them about their characters, and just kind of anecdotally to Ethan Hawke, kept mentioning just how incredible Philip Seymour Hoffman was coming off in the dailies. He's like, wow, we're watching the dailies, and Phil is so good.

34:11He's really, he's just going to places that I've never seen him go before. And Ethan Hawke was just getting more and more, like, aggressive and uptight. And so, but I was so angry about it. So he would come in trying to be bigger and badder, and then finds out that Lumet's going to Philip Seymour Hoffman and saying the same thing about Ethan Hawke. I love it. So they confront LeMet and he's like, ah, you guys are so easy to fuck with. It's like, yeah, and if you go watch that movie, they're both at a 10. And Sidney LeMet is like 92 when he made this movie. Maybe he couldn't hear them otherwise.

34:44Truly.

38:32Jason Mantzoukas:And now without any further ado, it is time to welcome Jason to Last Looks for a little Just Chat. Rob from Long Island, play us in.

38:44Jason Mantzoukas:now it's the time of the show it's the time of the show which time is past it's the time where jason joins paul and may j-u-s-t-c-h-a-t just chat jason what's up paul you know what boy i've got a list of stuff that i've been watching and listening to and reading. I am excited. I got books. I got music. I got it. We've got news. I think we have to start. Now, this puts a little bit of a time stamp on when we're recording this. So this is now going to be slightly old news, but I think it's imperative that you and I talk about the fact that Gerard Butler is no longer making Plane 2. What? I did not know about this.

39:35They have canceled the sequel to our beloved Plane. and are now no longer making Plane 2. No. What in the world? This is a story that I just recently read. So it is not great.

39:48Jason Mantzoukas:Well, you know, by the way, it was never going to be called Plane 2. It was going to be called Train, I believe. Oh, ship. Oh, no, boat. Ship. Ship. Two weeks before production began. Yes. Isn't that? What a bummer. And apparently Gerard Butler, I'm looking at this, just pulled out. He's like, I don't want to do it. I got to think that's a mistake. I don't know what he's up to. I wonder if he, look, he knows what he's good at. He does. And he might have felt like it just didn't have the juice. Maybe it wasn't there. I don't know. Because Plane, to me, was gangbusters. Oh, yeah. I don't know if you, I tried to watch Greenland 2, and it wasn't working for me.

40:27The Greenland movies are a little too dramatic for me. They're not as fun.

40:33Jason Mantzoukas:I mean, it was supposed to pick up right where Plane ended and go right to ship. And that's G-Base. I can talk to our friends over at G-Base. We have some friends in the Dwight Butler world. We got to figure out what is what happened. I want to know what is what. I'm so, so curious. But there is, I mean, the great news is there's no shortage of fantastic stuff to watch. I'm going to recommend that people watch the new Jason Statham movie Shelter, which I think is an absolute blast in the John Wick just straight. Not just John Wick, but like many of the other Jason Statham movies. It doesn't have the absurdity of a beekeeper, but it has like a very good propulsive action movie.

41:17I'm excited. Very fun. Very good. Dark Winds is back, baby. So everyone loves this show. My favorite show on TV right now. Wow. First off. I think this is the most slept on show on television. And there's lots of great stuff on TV right now, to be clear. Yeah, yeah. I just think this is season to season, so consistent, so good, and such a fantastic example of world building that I cannot recommend it enough. It is an amazing show. And the new season, dun, dun, dun, Titus Wellevers. I heard about that.

41:55Jason Mantzoukas:And that's, and that's, and you know, Molly, Molly, who is one of the producers of the How Did This Get Made is a Dark Winds fan. And so she is singing its praises. I got to, I got to get in. I got to get in. It's so good. It's got all my favorite people. It's got everybody in it is fantastic. And it's based on books in that way that a lot of times I find that sometimes I'm reluctant to commit to something because I'm worried it will get worse as time goes on a la Game of Thrones or something like that. But this is based on books and everybody seems to think that they're doing an incredible job similar to like a Slow Horses taking those books and making great seasons of television out of them.

42:34And so I cannot recommend it enough.

42:35Jason Mantzoukas:I will recommend a book that I just read that was fantastic, and it's a novella. So, you know, easier to— It's a shorty. Yeah, so for people who, you know, I'm right now—I jumped into a big book, which I am loving, but I also know I'm going to be here for a long time, which is Joe Hill's book called King's Sorrow, which is—I am about 200 pages in, and I'm loving it. But that's about a thousand pages. Oh, whoa. Yeah, I'm going to, I will get through it. But by the way, also a funny thing that somebody said, oh, I didn't know, you know, like, I'm a big fan of Joe's father. And I always said, oh, who's that?

43:16Jason Mantzoukas:And they're like, Stephen King. I was like, what? Oh, yeah. And then I looked at the back cover. I was like, oh, he looks like, I never knew. I was a fan of Lock and Key. I remember, I remember finding that out as well. Years and years after I knew Joe Hill stuff. Yeah. No, I agree. I was totally shocked. So the book that I read that I really want. Nepo Baby. He's a Nepo Baby. I don't read Joe Hill because he's a nepo baby. This is what I will say. This book, if you go and pick it up, I think you will love it. It is called A Short Stay in Hell by Stephen L. Peck. I don't want to tell you anything about it.

43:50Jason Mantzoukas:Great. It's going to, you can read it in the afternoon if you'd like. It is so, I couldn't get enough of it. I just thought it was such an interesting, it's like a horror. I mean, people call it a horror. I don't think of it as a horror. I just felt like it was like a psychological trip. Really fun. So short stay in hell is what I got here. Awesome. Oh, I love that. I can't remember if I shouted it out last time, but there's a couple of books that, audio books that I've listened to lately that I thought were all fantastic. But the two that I'm going to shout out specifically were shouted out on the Action Boys podcast, one of which is the Ileana Douglas book, I Blame Dennis Harper.

44:32Oh, yes. which is fantastic. And the other is the Abel Ferrara, the director, Abel Ferrara, his book called scene that he reads himself and is just, he's a character. His stories are insane. This was again, another Ben Rogers action boys shout out. And it is a fantastic listen and it's short.

44:53Jason Mantzoukas:Okay. I'm going to put that on my list. Now I know that you probably haven't had a chance to watch it because it just came out. but I highly recommend Chris Fleming's special. Oh, I haven't seen it. Chris Fleming has a brand new special. If you don't know Chris Fleming, I mean, he's getting a lot of traction right now as being like one of the most fearless comedians. I think that's a lot of like, there's a great New York profile of him, which I agree with all. I just think he is insanely silly and funny and he's got an energy unlike anyone else. it made me feel the same way i felt like when we talked about sarah sherman uh like watching that special this is a t to b great special and he's so good and if you're in la you can check out catch him at largo he's always kind of popping up at largo and one of the cool things about chris fleming he releases so much shit online uh because he's like oh yeah that's might be funny tonight and they may never be funny again so he has a lot of like quick bits you can kind of get into but it is a great great special directed by uh bill benz but he this thing made me laugh uh so so hard um and uh it's the new one so i gotta remember i think it's called i love that yeah live at the palace yeah i can't remember what it's called and this is the opposite end of the spectrum because i feel like uh um chris fleming is on the up this person has been there for a while.

46:20Cat Williams' new special is once again being taped in Florida and is absolutely nuts. I have saved that one. I am ready for that. Just a couple of other like, because we sometimes will talk about comedy. Will Hines has got a sub stack.

46:37Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, yes. I love that sub stack. Great sub stack. If you're at all interested in improv, improv comedy, the L.A. comedy scene, anything like that, I can't recommend it enough. And then he and Ian Roberts do a YouTube series that is improvised scenes where they're just two guys meeting for dinner for coffee. Yes. And they just do scenes based on it. And it's all on YouTube. And a lot of it is very funny and worth watching. And I can't remember what it's called. But it's Will Hines and Ian Roberts YouTube. You'll find it. Well, I have a musical thing for you. because some fans have reached out to me and said, Paul, here's something you could let Jason know about.

47:17Jason Mantzoukas:Because you can kind of surprise Jason with your knowledge. And I said, all right. So I was recommended this band, the Twisted Teens. They're an Australian kind of rock band. And I love it. It is great. Twisted Teens on Spotify. I've really been enjoying it. They have a handful of albums out. and they're French indie, I guess. Great. Yeah. I'm going to check it out. Okay, I love that. While we're on music, I'll shout out a couple of more albums that have come out recently that I think are fantastic. Snow Caps is a band that has the Crutchfield sisters. Katie Crutchfield, you might know as Waxahatchie.

48:01Her sister was in the band Swearin' and has put out solo records of her own. Snow Caps is them working together and boy, it is incredible. The record is phenomenal.

48:12Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah. Juliana Barwick and Mary Lattimore have released an album together called Tragic Magic that is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Also, the artist Ichiko Aoba, I hope I'm saying that right, put out a record last year called Luminescent Creatures that I cannot stop listening to that has completely wormed its way into my entire year so far and is fantastic. New album from Dry Cleaning, new album from Dancer, a found song, a new song from one of my favorite bands, one of my favorite Glasgow, Scotland bands, Life Without Buildings. They found and remastered a song that would never been released.

48:55Get involved. It's fantastic. Whoa, all right. There's a new Greenhouse album about to come out, probably out by now. And there's a new band that I love called Careful in the Sun that just put out a new record. and it's fantastic.

49:08Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, wow. These are, this is, all right. This is a good list of people. Yeah. Just because I mentioned Rishi Keshe Hirwe recommended Apothecary Diaries to me. He does Song Exploder, which is one of my favorite music-based podcasts. But inside the Song Exploder feed, he's doing a new podcast called Key Change, where he interviews someone about a song that changed their life. And that is also a fantastic new podcast that I think is worth it. Oh, I love that. Yeah. All right. Wow. You've given me some really good things off the bat. And I thought I was coming in with Twisted Teens. I felt really good.

49:44Jason Mantzoukas:I'm excited to check out Twisted Teens. I mean, I hope it helps. All my stuff is mellow. And I was just thinking the other day, I need some new bands. I know. Because a lot of my stuff is like really chill, like quiet music. Yeah. I'll jump back to TV for a brief moment and say that one of my favorite all-time showrunner creators is Steve Conrad, who made Patriot and Perpetual Grace Limited. I was going to ask about this. Yes. Perpetual Grace Limited, and his new show, DTF St. Louis, is out now. A couple of episodes are out now by now. Absolutely incredible show. Like, straight off the bat, incredible show.

50:18Jason Mantzoukas:I am so excited about this, and I didn't realize it was the same guy. And there was a show that he made after Patriot that I also didn't realize that he made that I was like, oh, this is a— Perpetual Grace Limited or Ultra City Smiths? Ultra City Smiths was the one, yes. It's a stop-motion animation. Yes. And it's fantastic. So I got to catch up on this. You know, it's tricky because my wife does not like to watch anything that is written. We are just trying to solve cold cases. We're trying to get to the bottom of cases that have already been solved. But now she's out of town. So she's out of town.

50:53Jason Mantzoukas:And I got free reign of the TV every night. I mean, there's a lot to see. Have you watched the Dunkin' Egg, the Night of the Seven Kingdoms, the new Game of Thrones series? I don't even know what that is. Oh, interesting. So actually, this counts as both a TV show recommendation and a book recommendation. So this is the, and actually, this is related to Steve Conrad because he wrote the original adaptation of this and was then taken off and rewritten. But there's a series of novellas that George R.R. Martin wrote for the characters of Dunk and Egg. Okay. And it's a knight and his squire. And unlike Game of Thrones, which is palace intrigue and dozens and dozens of characters and all these moving parts, this is the exact opposite.

51:43This is small scale storytelling, just these two characters. And each novella is like a couple of hours long. And so I listened to all the novellas on the audio book. Like you can finish it in 10 hours, I think. Oh, wow. And they just did season one of a TV series, only six episodes that covers the events of the first novella. And it's dynamite. It's such a good watch. It's so fun. It's funny. It is exactly the kind of Game of Thrones story that I would enjoy because it's not sprawl. The House of Dragons is too. I don't know what's going on. There's too much. Yeah, I get that. It's too much. So this is much smaller and really fun.

52:26And I recommend it both as worth listening to the audio book. And also the show is terrific.

52:32Jason Mantzoukas:You know, if you are at this moment struggling and being, I have to write all this stuff down. Don't worry about it. It's always in the show notes. We have been doing a very good job of that. Also, if you go on the discord, you can kind of jump in there and see what's happening. Unless it's been discounted. I mean, I was going to say, I have a little like a sneak peek to get excited about. Okay. My friend, who I think we talked about on the Shoot 'em Up episode, Ben David Grabinski, a director who was behind the Scott Pilgrim anime show on Netflix. Loved it. Also did a movie with me and Joe McHale a couple years ago.

53:06Jason Mantzoukas:Has a brand new movie coming out called Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice. It is with Vince Vaughn and James Marsden. And I got to see an early screening. I'm actually even hosting a screening here in Los Angeles, probably right around the time that you're hearing this. and it is great. Oh, nice. Fun. Oh, I love that. Vince Vaughn time travel movie. I'm not spoiling anything because they're in the trailer, but Vince Vaughn from the future travels a little while, not tremendously far back to Vince Vaughn, like maybe a couple weeks earlier and it's a gangster shoot him up. Oh, cool. There's scenes in it that remind me of like Drunken Master.

53:47Jason Mantzoukas:Wow. James Marsden is awesome and it's just like an also like um eliza gonzalez is in it right and it's also uh jimmy tatro keith david it's a cool cast yes and it's going to be exclusively on hulu it's going to be premiering at south by southwest uh as well watch the trailer because the trailer the trailer gets you pumped and it does for me because it definitely has it has an andrew wk drop in it as well uh it's it is it's a fun one So March 27th on Hulu is when this one comes out. I love that. I'm also going to shout out, thank you, Joanna Robinson from House of R for recommending the TV show Lovesick, the British sitcom Lovesick.

54:29Oh, I've seen this. Yes, I like the, yes. Only a couple of episodes, but a couple of seasons rather, but is fantastic. And I just watched all of that. And then in movies, have you, I watched The Rip, of course. Oh yeah, I love The Rip. But have you watched, which I thought you would like, Secret Mall Apartment? Oh, yeah. The documentary.

54:47Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, I was up on that. And we haven't talked about it, and I love it. Give me this all day. All I want is this. It is so fun, so weird. I think they were even doing a screening of it in the mall. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, they've been doing some fun things. It should get more attention. But now it's out streaming, I think, probably on HBO Max at this point. I think I saw it on Netflix, maybe. Okay, maybe that's what it is. That's a really... So, so good. I can't recommend it enough.

IMDb breaks in the plot by saying a Brazilian princess tries to save the rainforest by introducing America to the electrifying exotic Lombada.

58:35Jason Mantzoukas:Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 25 % score on the Tomatometer, and John Pirellis from the New York Times wrote in his review, its dance sequences are barely sexier than a bowling tournament, but connoisseurs of clunky dialogue and shameless continuity lapses should look no further. And you know what, John? You are right. And that means it's a perfect film for us. Take Take a listen to the trailer. From the jungles of the Amazon to the heart of America, only one dance can turn feeling into rhythm. Strangers into lovers. Passion into fury. She is hot. The danger behind the beat. The magic behind the music.
