In short
This episode of How Did This Get Made? (Last Looks: Thrashin’) focuses on the 1986 skateboarding movie Thrashing and listeners’ “corrections and omissions” about it. The hosts debate whether the film’s characters are “posers” and whether Corey is actually from the Valley (Los Angeles) or elsewhere. Key claims include: Hook is an Indiana “poser” policing who counts as a local; downhill skateboarding looks easy because actors are shown on boards, but real downhill contests are far faster and harder; the “LA massacre” scene’s water breaks don’t make practical sense; “skate dancing” is essentially freestyling; “thrashing” aligns with aggressive boundary-pushing skate culture (Thrasher magazine context).
Notable examples
the water-cooler table crash, barefoot bikini scenes, and Corey’s hitchhiking/plate details.
Guests
no named guests appear; the episode is driven by host Paul Shearer and Jason (and June mentioned) plus multiple listener callers (Trev, John Steele, Phil, Ryan, FNord42, Unevolved Panda, Ghost Bag, Paul from Portland, Hannah from Newcastle, Rick, Steve from Hollywood).

All this and more on a brand new episode of How Did This Get Made at Last Looks. Hit the theme. How did this get made? Whose palms were greased, whose daddy paid? Who released this shart? Dressed up a cinematic art. How did this get made?
2:13Whoa!
2:14Jason Mantzoukas:Thank you, Ethan Fox Tucker, for that opening theme song. I'm your Valley Boy, Paul Shear, and welcome to the gnarliest podcast this side of Dogtown. this is How Did This Get Made? Last Looks, where you, the listener, are going to get to voice your issues on Thrashing, a movie that Discord user Hotline thinks should have had the tagline, Thrashing, stellar skateboarding. Gnarly. Thanks, Hotline, for that alt tagline. That's the last I'll be doing of that voice. You don't want to hear that for the whole episode, or do you? I don't know. Anyway, thank you, Hotline. That is great. And, you know, this joke, Stellar Skateboard joke, right?
2:55Jason Mantzoukas:That's been going on since our Deep Blue Sea episode with Evan Goldberg and Paul F. Tompkins. And the joke behind it, if you don't know, is that if you were to type in Stellan Skarsgård's name, it auto-corrects to Stellar Skateboard, something that Jason found out when he was making notes for the show. So when we first did that show, people started changing his name on Wikipedia for a while. We actually even had to say, guys, stop doing that. But it has persisted. And we recently found something that was kind of cool. I want to shout out one of our fans, Janelle Riley. I love Janelle. She's a great journalist.
3:33Jason Mantzoukas:And she got to interview Stellan Skarsgård and actually showed him the photo of our Stellar skateboard T-shirt. Now, Janelle wrote on her sub stack, he took one look at it, paused, and started laughing out loud before saying, where can I get that? I look good. Janelle then told Stellan that she'd hoped that this joke didn't annoy him, to which he replied, why would it upset me? I'm flying on that thing. So I love this. So thank you, Janelle, for doing this important journalism. Again, without people like you, we would not be bringing this podcast into the lives of Estellen Skarsgård, who I can't even say Estellen Skarsgård anymore because I just say Stellar Skateboard.
4:20Jason Mantzoukas:Anyway, if you want to buy a Stellar Skateboard shirt, you can. It's up on our website. Now, coming up on today's episode, we will, of course, be hearing all of your corrections and omissions on thrashing. Then Jason will stop by. We're going to talk about TV and movies. What else? But I'll tell you, we're going to talk about some new movies like The Furious and The Invite. Plus, Jason is going to recommend a couple of new British comedy shows that have immediately made it to the top of my must-watch list. You're going to want to stay tuned for that. And as always, at the end of the show, I will reveal the movie that we'll be covering in next week's episode.
4:57Jason Mantzoukas:So we got a lot, a lot here to talk about. First of all, if you're in Los Angeles, where there might be a few tickets left for our upcoming Largo shows on July 31st and August 1st. This might be the last live shows for a little bit because we are all in pretty intense production schedules right now. And that will kind of be wrapping up at the end of October. So get your tickets now. We are covering XXX and The Legend of Billie Jean. You can go to hdtgm.com to see if tickets are still available. Our thrashing shirt from the thrashing episode is in the store right now. It's right next to our stellar skateboard shirt.
5:37Jason Mantzoukas:I love it. Elle is on Amazon Prime. If you've not checked it out yet, you got to see June. She is absolutely fantastic in it. The show has been like number one for weeks on end. And I got to tell you, I don't know what happened, but I got a notification from Harper Collins that my audio book like sold a ton of copies in the last week. So I just wanted to say thank you to everybody out there who bought my audio book. You can still get it paperback, however you want to listen to it. But if you've not gotten it yet, what a better time than to get it now. You can get it wherever you listen to your audio books.
6:11Jason Mantzoukas:All right. But enough about that. Let's get into what we need to break down here on this show, which is what we might have gotten wrong about thrashing. And there's a lot. Can we please get a little theme to bring us in?
6:36Jason Mantzoukas:Thank you, Chris Cheney, for that theme song. And now I know Jason wanted to change this segment from corrections and omissions to context and opinions. Now, we can only do that if all you songwriters out there step up to the plate and send us some new context and opinion theme songs. Just click on Submit a Song right there on the front page of hdtgm.com. And if we get enough new songs, we will grant Jason his wish and change this from corrections and omissions to context and opinions. All right, let's go to the phones. First up, Trev from Ireland. Guys, absolutely loved your episode on trashing.
7:20Childhood staple of mine growing up in 1980s Ireland. but re-watching it as an adult right i've noticed that hook is aggressively territorial about los angeles every five minutes right he's yelling at cory go back to the valley valley boy hey valley boy why don't you go back to the valley valley boy you don't belong here valley boy as if he's like been there for like generations right except his sister is visiting from indiana which means hook is also from indiana so this guy clearly just moved to la like a year before and immediately start policing who counts as a local he's basically a gentrifier right he arrived on the tuesday and by thursday he's already given out about how the neighborhoods changed i always laugh at that it's like one of those things that when i re-watching out my friends we always point out yeah what an
8:11Jason Mantzoukas:asshole. Hell yeah, Trev, you nailed it. You know, this guy's only been in LA for a couple of months. He even says, you know, what if, you know, his parents were sending his sister to check up on him? This guy's a total fucking poser. All right. We know it by the way he dresses and the way he spends all of his time with his earrings. I know they're important to him, but Trev, you saw this movie for what it is. Hook is a poser. He's an Indiana poser. Oh man, go back to Hoosiers, buddy. I would like to see him walk around in Hoosiers. All right, next up, John Steele. Hey Paul, this is John Steele calling with an Opinions and Context.
8:52As a 41-year-old skateboarder who's been doing this most of my life, thought I'd give you guys some context on some of the things. like the there were punk skaters in the 80s in that area at that time the dogtown crew that jason spoke of uh turned into the punks uh tony alva who was one of the daggers was one of those main guys he had his own company all the skateboards a lot of leather a lot of punk rock and the old guy who owned the skate company was seemed a little inspired by george powell of Paolo Peralta, who was more of a behind-the-scenes guy, ideas, but was never a skater himself. And the downhill looked so easy, I believe, because they were showing the actors a lot on their skateboards.
9:37But if you were watching an actual downhill contest, they'd be going at insane speeds. It would look way crazier and would be a lot harder to do. Thank you.
9:51Jason Mantzoukas:John, I have nothing to say, but wow, great information. And I actually looked up George Powell, who looks very much like this guy in the movie. So you know what? This movie got it all right. No, I understand, though, why this movie kind of works, because I think what you're kind of nailing is it was true enough to the culture to be exciting, but it was lame enough of a movie to be ridiculed, which is a kind of the perfect combination. And I agree with you. You and I are on the same page about downhill skateboarding being very, very hard. June, not so much, but she doesn't also appreciate breakdancing.
10:30Jason Mantzoukas:But while we're talking about downhill skateboarding, let's talk to Phil from Michigan, because while he may not believe in downhill skateboarding, he did have a very important note. Hey, y 'all new listener, but already big fan of the show. As for an omission, during the LA massacre at the end, I think my favorite part of the movie is where the skaters crashed into that water cooler table. They're like handing out cups of water to people as they're skating by. I don't know how that was supposed to work. If you're going, just relying on gravity to go downhill, make it to the bottom at this race, how are you going to stop for water?
11:05Jason Mantzoukas:Like there's a pit stop function here? It just, it didn't make sense. Anyway, love the show. Enjoyed the movie. thanks for doing what you do yes phil why were there breaks you can't take a why were there water and also would you need water it's not like you're running i don't know that is so dumb i guess maybe it's for all the people who have fallen it's like oh yeah you're out of the race so now why don't you have some gatorade uh it doesn't also feel like i want to are they grabbing it and running it because i've seen runners grab it and chug it down if you could grab a glass of water chug it down and still do downhill.
11:40Jason Mantzoukas:Now, you should win the whole race. Phil, thank you for being a new listener, by the way. And this is the way that people find the show. We never know. So we always tell people, yes, go spread the word. It is important. Okay. Next up, we have Ryan from Nashville. What do you got? Hi, guys. Pretty early on in the movie, you have some bikini babes walking across the street. And not only are they not carrying anything at all, no bags, no towels, no cover-ups, no sunscreen, but they're also barefoot walking through the city. And then later on, Chrissy, after the dance or whatever, she takes off her high heels and shows Josh Brolin a trick, and she proceeds to walk around the entire downtown area.
12:24Jason Mantzoukas:They even go to a damn carnival, and she never puts her heels back on. She's just walking around barefoot. It's just super gross, and I thought you guys would mention it. I hope you announce a Ryman show soon because I would love to see a live show. Thanks, guys. Yes, Birdemic level gross. Why are these people? You don't walk around barefoot in L.A. On the beach, maybe. But even on the beach, I was walking on the beach last weekend. I was in Dana Point. My soles were burning. Put on some shoes. It's like when I see people in sandals in New York, it makes me want to vomit. I hate it. It's disgusting.
13:01Jason Mantzoukas:At least give these women a prop. Give them a baguette coming out of a shopping bag, if you will. Just give them something. And, you know, if you want to see some more pictures of some barefoot people walking around, if you want to get your little fetish on, well, there are pics there. I mean, look, we're going to put them up on the Discord. We'll put them up. I guess we'll put them up in the social media. I don't know. Maybe that's too weird. Let's not put them up in the social media. Just trust me. Yeah, they're walking barefoot. I saw it. Scott saw it. We're there. All right, we're going to take a quick break.
13:32Jason Mantzoukas:But when we come back, we got more corrections and omissions coming your way, including some inside info from Sweden. That's right. And a debate on where Corey actually lives in the movie. Stick around. Today's podcast is brought to you by our friends over at Squarespace.

Before we hear more of your thoughts on thrashing, I must remind you to tune into our classic episodes every Tuesday. This week's classic was the Dirt Bike Kid, kind of a spiritual sequel and or not a sequel, prequel. I don't know. And next week, we will be revisiting Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles.
17:18Jason Mantzoukas:Ooh, that was a rough one. So keep on checking out all of our replays of classic episodes every Tuesday. Now, let's go to the Discord. FNord42 writes, When you were wondering if the skaters trying to push each other over was considered thrashing, well, a thrasher is a avid skater. So all of the guys are thrashers and or thrashing. And I believe they called the movie Thrashing because of the popularity of Thrasher magazine, which was the first national magazine dedicated to skateboarding founded in 1981. Well, F Nord, I believe you are 100 percent right. Great job there. And now we do know that everyone is Thrashing.
18:02Jason Mantzoukas:Unevolved Panda writes, and this is kind of more about the thrashing terminology. I think the more aggressive thrashing is, quote unquote, pushing the boundaries. The Z-Boys in the 70s remade skateboarding and they were all about finding new dangerous things to do and doing tricks that no one had ever done. Skating in the 80s was more about half pipes and stairways, but still about who could go the biggest or do the longest grind or whatever. Skateboarders in Southern California map outdoor stairways the same way rock climbers map ascents. Thrashing is like, I could have died doing that, but I didn't.
18:39Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, all right. So thrashing is kind of a higher level of skateboarding, which I would imagine Thrasher magazine was popularizing and showcasing. So we're agreeing. F Nord and Unevolved Panda, they may be the same side of the same coin. We've never heard that term before, right? One was just produced like maybe like in 85 and the other one was produced in 91. So it's like it's just the same coin, but some slight differences. Ghost Bag writes, OK, Corey is talented, but anyone who puts their own name on the bottom of a skateboard without officially going pro for a company would be labeled as a kook.
19:17Jason Mantzoukas:Imagine showing up to your local basketball game wearing a homemade Lakers jersey that you stitched your own name on to kook. Well, Ghost Bag. I, I'm going to say that I agree with your idea, but the idea of a Jersey with your own name on it, not as kooky as you would believe. As a matter of fact, you can put any name on the back of there. I have a, uh, I have a Clippers Jersey that I put Bomber Jr. on the back of it. And I will say that, uh, occasionally I will change up a name on the back because I don't want to, you know, get too invested in a player right now. I have a terrible habit of whatever player I buy their Jersey.
19:56Jason Mantzoukas:Uh, they are traded. So I am now, I guess I'm not going to buy a name jersey right now. That's where I'm at. And I hate it because I would love to be rocking a Kobe Sanders jersey, but I don't want to jinx it. All right, let's go back to the phone lines. I got to say, these calls have been great. I love SpeakPipe. I love that we're getting more international flair in our calls. It has been great. But let's go to the true international city in the United States, Portland. Paul, what do you got? Hey, Paul, this is Paul from Portland calling in with some context. I'm a longtime listener, but a longer time skateboarder.
20:32There's about a million things I could call out that I think y 'all would think would be interesting. But one, when you all were making fun of the skate dancing, that was when they were doing freestyling. And there's a scene where the actor from Twin Peaks at the Venice Beach, she walks by and goes, freestyling. Freestyling at the time was like a real, seems real corny, lame, kind of the least thrashing kind of skateboarding. But interesting in the history of skateboarding, all the pool skating at this time kind of dies out. People start street skateboarding and they take the tricks that the freestylers came up with and the freestylers and launching all the companies.
21:16The other interesting thing is that skateboarders totally do for the next 30 years have little cliques that do dress like punk rock uh you know tight jeans cutoffs leather jackets they were called hessians or they were hesh and the clean cut guys were fresh uh glad you covered some skateboarding and y 'all were pretty great in the way you talked about it thanks bye whoa some more
21:44Jason Mantzoukas:hardcore facts i love this the hesh hessians uh i just man i'm gonna be looking up skate style right now so hard because the leather and the skateboarding don't seem to mix. It seems very uncomfortable. But I love this and I'm glad to know that skate dancing is freestyling. But you know what? Maybe, you know, that was like I kind of a dig at a movie that was never made freestyling about a young guy who comes from Encino who comes to L.A. to freestyle all his I mean, because basically in Rad, they're freestyling, too. I mean, I guess maybe dancing on anything that's not supposed to be danced on is freestyling.
22:24Jason Mantzoukas:I don't know. Somebody correct me. Hannah from Newcastle. What do you got? Hey, Paul. It's Hannah from Newcastle up on Tyne. I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing thrashing. It's literally my other half's favorite movie. And he's Swedish. So I thought I would drop a little factor that we had from a Swedish point of view. So the freestyle skater in the movie is a Swedish guy called Per Rolinder. And he has a line that's all in Swedish, which might be the only all Swedish line in an 80s sort of skate movie. So he says, Which translates to something like, it's crazy. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you so much for doing this movie.
23:04And also we watched you when you came to Glasgow and we'd love you to come back to the UK soon. Bye.
23:10Jason Mantzoukas:Whoa. All right. All right. All right. I like this. Now, I did not know about this. I didn't even hear the Swedish, honestly. And maybe I'm not paying enough attention to this. But I do want to kind of tag on to this because Firebird on the Discord has some more info about Pear Wellender, writing, Pear was also Michael J. Fox's stunt double for some of the skateboard scenes in Back to the Future. Yes, that's where I know that name from. I read that book, the Marty McF... Well, not the Marty McF... The Michael J. Fox book about making back to the future, which by the way, great book. Uh, he also later, uh, started a very successful scapegoat company called birdhouse.
23:48Jason Mantzoukas:Whoa. Yes, of course. Birdhouse. I know that with Tony Hawk. All right. Wow. Guys, this movie is all, this is the best corrections and omissions we've ever had. Uh, next up, Rick also from Portland. All right. Portland strong. What do we got? Hey, Paul, I just finished a thrashing episode. I love that movie. And I want to give some more context. You did mention the West Side Story of it all, and it goes even deeper than that. Thrashing's director David Winters was in the original Broadway cast and 1961 film version of West Side Story. He was a member of the Jets gang, and he would go on to continue to explore this theme of star-crossed lovers, not only in Thrashing, but as director and star of one of my favorite How Did This Get Made?
24:35Movies, Dancing It's On.
Read the full transcript
24:38Jason Mantzoukas:Another banging and apostrophe title. Love you guys. Yes. You know, I've been wanting to mention that in the episode, and I forgot, and then I didn't want to bring it up. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. Great. And Dancing It's On. I didn't know that, though. Oh, man, Rick, you did it. Next up, Steve from Hollywood. Greetings, Paul, Jason, and June. This is Steve in North Hollywood. I am so happy you guys are covering Thrashing, but I've just got to take you to task. June is correct. Corey is from the Valley. I believe somewhere in the opening credits we get a glimpse that he is from Van Nuys.
25:20I know this because I was a skate rat as a kid and I watched Thrashing a bajillion times. and that love for it has caused me to watch it about once or twice a year as an adult as well. So when Corey is skateboarding from home to his buddy's place in the beginning of the movie while Meatloaf is singing the thrash and songs, he's really just going from the valley to like Venice Beach. I think it's established his buddy lives at or very close to Venice, somewhere where a family could have a nice huge plot of land big enough to build a ramp and park an RV on so their buddy Corey can train for the summer.
26:02Thanks so much for covering Thrashin, and thank you retroactively for covering Sharknado all those years ago. Signed, and love, from the clerk from the first Sharknado.
26:12Jason Mantzoukas:Okay, Steve, first of all, I salute you for your service. OK, I salute you for your service in Sharknado. You are amazing. But I disagree with you. OK, I disagree with you. And guess what? Our producer, Scott, he wants to chime in because I was already Googling and he's like, I got this. So, Scott, take it away. Steve, I actually got to take you to task here because I rewatched the opening of Thrashing. And while it definitely looks like it could have been filmed in Van Nuys, I didn't see anything that indicated it took place in Van Nuys. But one thing I did notice was in the scene where Corey is hitchhiking, you can see a license plate on the car he gets into.
27:01And it's a little too blurry to make out. But I did some research and I'm 100 % confident that this is a 1986 license plate from the state of Missouri. Now, I can't tell you for sure that he's supposed to live in Missouri, but he likely traveled through Missouri at some point,
27:22Jason Mantzoukas:which means he does not live in the valley. Bam! You might have been watching that all the time, Steve, but you missed out on that Missouri plate. This motherfucker might have been, and this is what I think that you're confused at, the location of where he was skating from, which I've now looked at, is in Los Angeles, but it was not meant to be in Los Angeles. So I think that that is more about a budget because what we're talking about is he's staying three miles away, four miles away. I know LA traffic is bad, but not that bad. But all I want to say is thank you, Scott and Steve. Watch that movie again.
28:03Jason Mantzoukas:And you know what? I got to say, the winner this week, it's clear. Whenever you get my back, you're going to walk away with the winning thing. This has never happened before. I'm going to give the correction and omission winner to our producer, Scott Sani. Scott, your winner's prize is that I will be giving you your own official skater nickname. Now, this is a real treat for Scott because he came up with this idea. You didn't even know that you were going to win it. But Scott, you brought to our attention Missouri. You proved that I was right. But I want to represent what you brought to the table from Missouri.
28:40Jason Mantzoukas:We could call you Show Me Scott because Missouri is a show me state. We could call you a spring patcher, right? Because that's people who live in Springfield. But I'm going to go a little deeper. I looked this up online. I'm going to call you Jomo. Jomo are what residents of Joplin are called. So Scott, your skater name is Jomo. There you go. For all of you jealous that you didn't get an official skating name and you're not the producer of the show, and you might say that he, you know, he kind of put his hand on the scales. This is up and up, okay? But you know what? If you want to try again, you can try to win a brand new prize next episode by leaving us a voicemail at speakpipe.com slash hdtgm or writing us on our discord at discord.gg slash hdtgm.

33:19Jason Mantzoukas:Welcome back. Oh my gosh, Jason and I have not been able to hang out in a little bit. And so we're going to get into it with what we've been seeing in the theater. what we've been watching on TV. And we got a bunch. So take out a pen, get ready for this. And in honor of Swedish skateboarder Per Wellander, let's hear this choice theme song from one of our fans in Sweden. Anton Welland, let's hear it. Paul and Jason have things to say And it's the fact that we could all call in Just check They're watching their movies They're watching people You're going to tell me You cannot call it just Chad
34:05Jason, what is up? Oh boy, here we are once again Back in the closet talking to you, my friend
34:12Jason Mantzoukas:Both of us in closets, which I really do enjoy You can't see Jason's closet But I like the way your closet is organized And the way that I would like Like, I'm a married man. I'm relegated to the smallest amount of closets. We moved into our house. We hired a person to help us kind of unpack and get everything out. The benefit of this person was the day that you move in, everything is out and in. So it felt really good. And that closet person many years ago, five years ago, gave me a nice piece of closet real estate. I was so excited about it. And quickly, it was just, before she left the house, it was gone.
34:53Jason Mantzoukas:It was like, nope, that June is like, not for you. So everything I have is so tiny. It's so tiny. And I look at your closet. I'm like, oh, I would love to be able to. Oh, just spread out all the t-shirts and all the sweatshirts. A couple things. I just. My heart breaks for you. My heart breaks for you, my friend. I'm actually in a closet with overflow from my closet, which is just stuff that I have to like move from this closet to that. That closet, the weather changes. You can tell because Paul is using a fake digital background, so I can't see his closet. And you can see mine fine. Oh, perfectly.
35:29I love it.
35:32Jason Mantzoukas:What have you been up to? I've been away. You've been working. Yeah. I've been working. I'm in that zone right now where I'm working, and so I'm coming home absolutely exhausted. Yeah. And do not have the patience for high-end things. Oh, got it. Or like shows or movies that are complicated or require full attention. Yeah. So I just spent the last couple of weeks really spending quite a lot of time at Dutton Ranch. Oh, dude. Have you been watching Dutton Ranch? Yes. I was psyched. The further adventures of Beth and Rip and Carter and everybody from the Yellowstone world. I didn't ever watch. Yellowstone never really worked for me.
36:18Jason Mantzoukas:And man, oh man, Dutton Ranch is back. It's hitting. I love it. It's so fun. So yeah, just finished Dutton Ranch. Absolutely obsessed with it. True. So good. The amount that the Taylor, and wait, have you listened to the Taylor Sheridan Howard Stern interview? No. I saw clips. I didn't realize it was new. I cannot recommend it enough. It is absolutely fantastic. It is like three hours long. every story Taylor Sheridan tells feels like it's a pitch for a new Taylor Sheridan show. It is so every story is so full of high stakes reveals and like like major dramatic turns and like like the stories from his childhood feature so much like good story plot points.
37:07Like it's hilarious. You got it. You got to listen to it.
37:10Jason Mantzoukas:Love this. OK, great. I don't ranch boy i what a blast what a blast and i will say like to to people out there who like i hope that we turn john to to land man and and if you if you are like i have not connected to this world again dutton ranch and land man share a dna that i really enjoy i think it put tulsa king under there as well but dutton ranch and land man are very specific fun world and don't feel like oh but I didn't watch all the seasons of Yellowstone. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Don't bother. Just jump right in. You'll figure it out. You'll get there. One, two, three. I was genuinely shocked how much of the show is just about them doing work on the ranch.
37:54Oh, love it. Just moving these cows to over there. Yeah. Putting that over there. Like just true B roll, beautiful B roll of rant. Like the script must be 15 minutes of dialogue, 15 pages of dialogue.
38:08Jason Mantzoukas:and the rest is just b-roll it's so crazy he's popping out these scripts at a rate that is is concerning um yeah it's it's a it's he he's got it he's got it on lock it's it's very by the way here's a show that you might be enjoying in your i know uh coming home that i've fallen in love with last one laughing have you watched this the best absolute i mean i've been watching it for a while I didn't know we've ever talked about it. It's like, it is. Yeah. So funny. I've only watched the two UK seasons. Yes. I've watched the UK seasons as well. I haven't watched. Actually, no, I watched some of Australia, but I haven't watched Canada.
38:50Yeah. But the UK first season of UK with Richard Ayoade and Bob Mortimer, both on it, was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
38:58Jason Mantzoukas:I'm laughing so hard. And I'm dying for the show to come to the United States. I know that Amazon is like talking about it. it like i have like i'm just crazy that it hasn't no it's it's and by the way it's so easy it's oh yeah shooting it's a one hour day it's a one day show it's not even a 12 hour day it's like it's easy um yeah no i'm like this show is genius you should do one every quarter it's like a hundred percent agree it is an absolute blast i love it yeah it's so funny last one laughing you can pick your poison but i think that uk is the way to to to do it like season two the standoff that occurs between David Mitchell and Sam Campbell is the funniest stuff ever.
39:39It's so good. And leads me directly into one of my picks, which I'd love to tell you about. Yeah, please. So Sam Campbell, who is the Australian comedian, who is, he's on season two of Last One Laughing. He's a Taskmaster contestant. I can't remember, season 15, I think, or 16, 15 maybe. Anyway, he is a true, like, one-of-a-kind genius comedian, in my opinion. And he has a new show called Make That Movie that is absolutely crazy. And I has a moment that I have, I the other night laughed so hard on the couch that I started to get tunnel vision and think I might pass out due to like oxygen depletion because I was having so much trouble catching my breath.
40:26The idea, the setup of the show is people send in videos that are like, hey, I have an idea for a movie. Why don't you make a movie about this? And then they pitch him a movie that's usually based on their real life. And then Sam Campbell and his team of movie makers make that movie. Now, the whole, it sounds like it's almost like a Nathan Fielder kind of setup, but the whole, all of it's fake. Nobody's real. Nothing is real. So all of it's fake. And it is some of the funniest fucking shit I've ever seen. It's so good.
40:54Jason Mantzoukas:I've been dying to watch this and I did not realize it was like a mockumentary, which is now. It's not quite a mockumentary. It just looks like it's a mockumentary, but everything is fake. Wow. I'm sorry. Sorry. Not everything. It's how do I explain this? You know what? Maybe you don't. I guess it is kind of a mockumentary. Okay. It is. It has, it has all of the filmic languages. You're right. Of a mockumentary. Although it's more like a show, but it's, would you call the rehearsal a mockumentary? Maybe. Yeah. Well, no, because it's like, Hey, yeah. Okay. So it's like the rehearsal should be my guiding light.
41:31Jason Mantzoukas:It's kind of. It's like about a group of people who are bringing to life the movies of regular people. But the regular people are also actors. Oh, yeah. It just has the language of, we're submitting. You know what I mean? Right, right, right. Once you watch it, you'll be like, oh, this is so simple. But in explaining it, it's so much more different. No, and I really fell in love with Sam Campbell on that show. So I'm excited to see this. The other, just because it's Taskmaster related, the other show that I'll mention that I just watched is called Zero Stars. And it's a travel show where former Taskmaster contestants, Sarah Pascoe and Roisin.
42:11Oh, yes. What's Roisin's last name? Conaty, right? Oh, yeah, you're right, you're right. It's a travel show for them where they just, they go to places and they only stay in like the least well-reviewed hotels. They only go to the least well-reviewed social and cultural events. They go, they take one-star tours. They go to one-star restaurants. It is so funny. But it's just them being so game to participate in whatever nonsense they're presented with. It's hilarious.
42:43Jason Mantzoukas:This is so funny because I feel like I got to move to London. These are shows that I've tried. Like not this, but things like this that people never even look at or bite on. It's like it's so cheap. It's so easy. Let's go make something fucking. It's like Travel Man is so funny. Well, it's like Travel Man. And it gave me also vibes that I loved on Pally and Gabrus' show, 101 Places to Party Before You Die. Because the show is so funny and it's a great travel show. But what you're really watching is Sarah and Roisin's friendship be documented. They are so funny together. Their dynamic and chemistry is so funny.
43:25That's really what you're participating in. Yeah. And that's what I feel like we don't. And that's what I loved about the Gabrus Pally one, too.
43:32Jason Mantzoukas:And, I mean, that's also the formula to a certain degree of, like, the trip. You know, those movies, you know, the three of those. So good. Man, oh, I love this. Okay, these are good things. Zero Stars is an absolute blast. Really very funny. I am loving this. I think you'll like these. There's been, like, I feel like some, oh, and the other thing I'll mention just while we're on British comedy and Taskmaster related stuff. One of, I know a show that both of us saw that is now available as a special. Nish Kumar's Nish Don't Kill My Vibe. Hilarious. available to stream on YouTube. It is an absolutely dynamite comedy special that is so fucking funny and so smart.
44:20Jason Mantzoukas:I haven't laughed that hard at a special, and not to say that there have not been great specials, but this is up there. This feels to me very much like the way I felt when I saw Chris Fleming's special, in the sense that this is a completely unique voice. You're on this journey, and it is a nonstop, like, it is a ride. You're flying. It's a sprint. Yeah, it is. It's an not only is it so, so funny, it is so smart and it is so scathing and is so insightful. Nish Kumar, a very funny, very silly man, also was the host of The MASH Report, which was kind of England's version of The Daily Show. So is is also like savagely political and insightful.
45:01Like he is one of the true greats, I think, doing this.
45:05Jason Mantzoukas:this is not British comedy but it feels in a way like small like a British comedy because I think that's what we're talking about to a certain degree too it's like just really specific small stuff I finally got to see The Invite in the theater oh I haven't seen it yet yeah great I saw The Invite on a Sunday night in a packed theater which was awesome and it reminds me of these movies I think that you and I both like it very Mike Nichols-esque Nora Ephron-esque Like it's just, you know, four people in this, you know, San Francisco apartment. It's, you know, Olivia Wilde directed it and she does an amazing job.
45:43Jason Mantzoukas:Seth Rogen and Penelope Cruz and Ed Norton. Everybody is fantastic. I think go in knowing nothing as I did. I understood what the premise was like, but I didn't understand what even the premise was underneath the premise, which is even better. I think the less you know the more it will like unravel for you but man I was just you know it's funny I was trying to figure June and I were talking about the movie on the way home and I was like it's such a small movie that demands to be seen on the big screen which is such a you know it's like it's not spectacle but it's a movie that I think would be hurt by watching it on a small screen it's like and I feel like we haven't seen like a drama like in that way like it's it's a drama it's a comedy it's it's everything it's awkward but it's like you forget like that those movies are also worthy of it we get so into this idea of like well you got to see the explosion you got to see the odyssey and by the way all those yes sure well there's also like it's not just like oh the the size of the screen but it's like to do it with other people yes you know the part of it too is to watch these things that provoke feelings from a group rather than just i'm having a solitary experience in my house with this piece of media.
47:01Jason Mantzoukas:And I may have said this thing before, but oh my gosh, why am I forgetting his name? He directed Sinners and - Ryan Coogler. Ryan Coogler had this great thing where he said, when he watches movies at home, when it gets too uncomfortable, he can pause it or get up and go to the bathroom. And this movie, I was watching this movie through my fingers at certain points because it is like, you're just like in this thing. Oh no, no, no, no, no. And it's like, and you forget that's a powerful thing too, just to be like sit you gotta watch it sit here and watch it oh good it's really fun i'm excited for that and conversely something that was exciting to see i saw lost boys on broadway in new york oh how was that which awesome awesome really yes it won a bunch of tonys it was nominated for a bunch of tonys david hornsby uh from like always sunny and uh and uh rickety cricket yeah yes uh he he wrote it oh i didn't know that yes that's exciting yeah and uh it's great it's like i it does stuff on a broadway stage that i've never seen done oh wow in my life a motorcycle chase on stage oh wow that's cool i was like holy shit um it was yeah and if you like the lost boys i mean you know it was yeah it was pretty it was a pretty uh amazingly fun experience oh that's cool okay i like you will you will dig it like it really took my breath away like it like you know like in the sense of like you're like oh i don't know what i'm getting into and i'm so excited to see it but i'm excited for hornsby too that he i remember we were working together on something he's like yeah you know we're workshopping this lost boys thing i was like oh that's crazy yeah and it was like and this is only like maybe half a year ago when you're talking about this and then it got to broadway and became like it's the musical the what is it I'm looking right here.
48:49Jason Mantzoukas:It's the most Tony Award winning new musical of the year. Okay. So, yeah. Very cool. Yeah, there it is. I can't recommend enough to you the recently dropped action movie extravaganza called The Furious. Oh, dude. Yes. Another movie that has been on my list of, because Patton was holding a little, like, he had, like, a little come check this out with me in a screening room. It was great. It just came on on demand. So you can watch it. I just watched it last night and it is a blast. If you're a fan of like the raid or what was the one? And it's more fun. Right. It's fun. Yeah, it's fun. But it is.
49:34But it's it's it's violent, you know, but it's the the fight choreography is just incredible. You know, it is absolutely stunning. Really incredible stuff. An absolute blast.
49:45Jason Mantzoukas:oh i am excited about that like yeah there's so much stuff that i need to like catch up on i have been i may have talked to you about this you know my kids uh are very much into sitcoms right now we're watching a lot of sitcoms and we really are we're like on season eight of the office so we've been oh chugging away on the office oh that's impressive yeah every time there's a break it's like let's watch the office and i'll tell you i'm not tiring of it i am only tiring of is that the only thing that we can watch at night every episode i enjoy but it's and my kids are getting older so i they're out there's they're outweighing like i'm falling asleep before them so there's no there's no post uh there's like i used to be like go to bed and then i can watch my own thing but now it's like i'm watching the office until i pass out uh and then they're re-watching episodes with june and i that is so crazy it really is yeah the office is and by the way uh great great Great show.
50:43Great show. Oh, yeah. I remember when my nieces were obsessed with Reba.
50:47Jason Mantzoukas:Not a great show. Oh, I've been playing on PlayStation the new James Bond game, which is fun. Oh, I saw a review of it. Is it good? You know, look. Maybe I'll do that. I'm playing in a very lackadaisical way. Like, I'm not, like, in there to beat a game. I get it. You know, and so when I get to sit down with it, I am enjoying my time. There is a surprising amount of chatting in it. Sometimes I'm like, all right, can I just play a level here? I'm like, I'm walking to meetings. I'm listening to things. I'm doing a lot of that kind of work. But I am really enjoying it. It's fun. And again, it feels like James Bond.
51:33Jason Mantzoukas:It has that vibe. I like that. And I think it is well-reviewed. I hope it is. I mean, yeah, no, the review I read was great, which is what made me curious about it. So to hear that you're playing it, I'm like, oh, maybe I'll do it. I think it's it's fun and easy. And they do. I mean, the same way that I felt about the Indiana Jones game. I like it. I'm like, oh, I'm just sitting there. Oh, I didn't play that. Was that fun? That's fun. It's like, again, for what I am doing there, you know, understanding that my kids are playing Fortnite at all times. You know, I'm like, I'm but if I can sneak it in, I'm like, I get to play Indiana Jones for a little bit.
52:07Jason Mantzoukas:And Indiana Jones is like fun, like in exactly the way I want it to be. Like I'm going around, I'm taking pictures, I'm using my whip, I'm swinging from things. Perfect. I like it all. All right. Well, Jason, always a pleasure. We'll see you next time. See you next time. Thank you, Jason, for popping in. And for all of you who want to watch something that we recommend but can't remember the name of it, guess what? We always put a list of our recommendations in the show notes of every single Last Looks episode. In fact, you can find links to just about anything in the episode notes, our voicemail page, where to submit your theme songs and the discord, the merch, tour dates and more.
52:39Jason Mantzoukas:So when in doubt, look at the episode notes. Someone's spending a lot of time doing it. So look at them. OK, now it is time for what you've all been waiting for. What movie will we be covering in next week's episode? Next week, we'll be going from ice cream in a big bowl to screams up a big pole. Wait, confused? Don't be. We'll be continuing our extreme summer lineup with the 2022 survival thriller Fall starring, I don't know this person, Grace Carol Curry, Virginia Gardner, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. There's somebody. Here's IMDb's breakdown of the plot. When a high-rise climb goes wrong, best friends Becky and Hunter find themselves stuck on the top of a 2 ,000-foot tower, TV tower, I should say, oh, it's like that Netflix guy who climbed up there, you know, remember the free solo dude?
53:30Jason Mantzoukas:Anyway, Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 79 % fresh, not bad. And critic Chrissy Puchko from Mashable says, this is not a good movie, but it is a movie that made me cry out, oh, good God. And that is something.

But first, Paul responds to your Thrashin' corrections & omissions on Hook being a poser from Indiana, the logic behind a water cup table at a downhill skateboard race, Chrissy walking barefoot around LA, and much more. And as always, at the end of the episode Paul announces next week's new movie!
