Rock Star LIVE! w/ Jake Weisman (Classic)

20:50I'm on. Terms apply. Visit Disney plus Hulu Max Bundle dot com for details. I was going to say to you a few times, Paul, like, do I? Is this a real song? Like, is this is this a song that I've heard before? Well, this is a real one.

21:04Jason Mantzoukas:June said it to me the third time the same song was played. She goes, no, this is a real song. I like this song. And I said, well, you just heard it three times. I've been played three times in this movie. That's all it takes for you to like a song. I like it. I've heard this. Did you buy this soundtrack? Why do I feel like you bought this soundtrack after you watched the movie? This is good music. I recognize it. Okay, I will say this. I will say this. When Talking Heads started playing in this movie, I lost my mind. It's so literal. I was like, how on earth did they license this? But I would say, why on earth would you license the talking heads for a movie about metal, like, to show the passage of time.

21:52Jason Mantzoukas:Like, they make a couple of weird music, like, I don't know, maybe it's a language of something that I don't understand, but it's like, you're making a movie about people in the music industry that are making a specific type of music, but then, like, you use Bon Jovi, talking heads, so it's like, oh, I like that other stuff way better, and that's not the music that you're even doing, so it's a weird thing to pull you out with a more famous type of music that's not the music that you're even talking about. Oh, yeah. So, no. Yeah, in fact. It's almost reminding you, remember what good music said?

22:26Yes. In the beginning of the movie, I said to Paul, I guess I did say a lot of things. I wasn't as silent as I thought I was. But I did say to Paul, like, ugh, I can't believe I'm going to have to listen to this music the whole movie. Like, it was such a bummer for me to realize that this is the music. Because it's not music. It's not what I call music.

22:49Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, it's not. What do you call music, Jim? You released four albums called Now That's Not What I Call Music. And it's just you just, it's just a track that you don't like.

23:04And it's you introing each song. Now this is not what I would call music. I like to know I like a chorus I can hang my hat on I like What kind of hat is it that you're hanging to? Like a jaunty cap? An Amy Sherman Palladino nonsense hat? What kind of hat are we talking about? I will say I will say Dominic West McNulty who I will only call McNulty McNulty's house in this movie is anybody? Jilton Academy and Gilmore Girls. Wow. That's a deep cut. Pretty great. By the way, I thought he was incredible on this movie. I thought he was great. I thought he was great. You thought he was incredible in this movie?

24:01I did. I did. There was a lightness to him that I haven't seen him do. I enjoyed him. I enjoyed him and listen here's the thing Jen Ann and Mark Wahlberg are so goddamn watchable 100 % they are so watchable and they had a chemistry that could not be denied oh absolutely there was and I was there for it deep tongue kissing in this movie I feel like they all led with the tongue like the tongue came out of the mouth first before the lips hit every single time like that was the rule like a shark jumping out of the water to get a pelican before he goes down below. In that sort of everyone is dancing scene, it was all tongue first.

24:46It was all just a bunch of tongues out. It was, I didn't know that's how you kiss, but I've adopted it since. The best part of the night, the morning after that dancing scene, I'm always, I see this in movies. The orgy, yeah. The massive orgy. Post orgy. I see this in movies and I'm always curious about it. And maybe I'm the one that's off, but the scene opens with Jennifer Aniston waking up and then realizing she doesn't know where she is and then looking Yes! Looking into her sheets, but I've seen this before in other movies like looking into her sheets to see what she's wearing as though she couldn't feel it like that's what I'm curious about, like I've never I would love it if she looked down pulled the sheets down and was just wearing a man's tuxedo

25:40like oh no what have i done not too bad not too bad tails white tie don't mind like that's a pet

25:51Jason Mantzoukas:that's what happens to you like when you have an orgy then like a little orgy creature comes in puts different outfits on you all oh leprechaun cool all right what did i get it's as though like it's as though like these people are not in their own bodies to simply feel the clothing it's also it also presumes situational amnesia yes like when you wake up even after a night of hard partying and drinking and poor sexual decisions you still kind of know what's up instead it's kind of like

26:25yes

26:32everywhere she goes she is genuinely shocked as if she has been unconscious for 10 hours I also like that the way they got into that orgy was Mark Wahlberg had two drinks and then he's like Hollywood is crazy I'm gonna fuck 3 ,000 people in one night by the way Jen Aniston in this photo is like, oh shit, did I fuck the guy wearing chain mail? Who did not

27:01Jason Mantzoukas:take off the chain mail. Did I fuck the guy wearing chain mail? Chain mail, not a comfortable thing to fall asleep in. Or I imagine have sex in. By the way, a very noisy shirt. Slink. It's like, imagine a slinky back and forth. That's the noise of fucking the guy wearing chain mail. Come on! Why? Her makeup and hair still flawless. I was upset that when that orgy scene began, there were two beautiful women who came over to both of them, and then they sort of turned, they both turned to Mark Wahlberg, and then, like, a grosso, like, blonde-tipped fucking weird guy came over to Jennifer Aniston and started grinding on her.

27:47I was like, what the fuck? She gets this guy? They all kind of kept changing partners, though. Thank God. Like switching. Yeah. Yeah.

27:57Jason Mantzoukas:That blonde guy and the blonde guy not established. Yeah, there's a lot of like neck. So much junk.

28:07I loved it. This is... Yes. This is like, this is not sexual. It's just... It's open mouth. It's like how they kiss in Pittsburgh, I think. Oh, be careful, Jake. Like, Pittsburgh is listening. He like... All... The kissing is... I felt like they were just doing playback, and the director was just shouting, kiss grosser! Kiss grosser! Remember, you're drunk. Kiss grosser. More neck! More rubbish neck! Open your mouth wider if possible! Try to envelop...

28:50Jason Mantzoukas:Swallow him, like... Eat her chin. Like a praying mantis. Eat them alive. Swallow her face. Swallow his face. Rip his tongue out. This is sex, I think. A virgin directed this movie. The way that this movie, when he finally, when he gets called up, when he gets called up to the big leagues to be the lead singer of Steel Dragon, he has a pretty amazing intro into the band, like, he walks off the, like, walks down the platform, and then the most amazing slow-mo sequence of a fall that you think, oh, shit, the movie's over. This character's dead. Or it's going to take a regarding Henry-esque turn where we're going to be, oh.

29:43Shouts to J.J.

29:44Jason Mantzoukas:Abrams. But it's like, he takes a fall, like two steps falls about 12 feet on his head. Oh no, he falls in a way that is like - Irreparable. Yes. Irreparable. You know, I don't want to say the rest of the movie's a Jacob's Ladder scenario, but like, never has there been a more obvious Jacob's Ladder scenario than the visible death that we watch. Like, this might as well be a snuff film for Mark Wahlberg's character. And then when he goes down, he immediately then pops back up, doesn't miss a beat of the song, sings it bloody. By the way, the song's lyric is, do you want blood? Or show me blood?

30:32Like, blood is in the lyric of the song, apparently?

30:35Jason Mantzoukas:God, he got lucky. He got lucky. Classic. But, yeah, that scene is so, so bizarre. yeah he is fully bleeding from the head then he grabs a hose pretends it's a dick and then like wets down a lot of the audience this is what's so weird with the tone of the movie though like his so the his parents follow him around from you know they they i guess move from pittsburgh to like tour with him fly out to see a show no i know i know they can't Oh, boy. But I'm saying, like, it almost, but then you also see them partying at one point. Like, the tone of this movie is just... They're allowed to party. All right.

31:36Wow, you're really advocating for like older parents whose kids are out of the house. Remember when they insinuate that the dad loves eating pussy? Yes, that's insane.

31:52Jason Mantzoukas:That thing. All right. So at the press conference, we should just show the press conference. This is like, to me, this feels like an improv scene because it's a throwaway line that then they're like, it's a short form game called press conference. Well, no, but like the throwaway line, we'll see, like here, like so here. Izzy, is that your name, Izzy? You had a nice like Izzy like Izzy's Revenge. Izzy? I'm not. Pause. Why does he affect a British accent for only that line? Yeah. You'll never hear that again. Never again. No, and like when he's on stage, he doesn't even try. He goes, I grew up in Pittsburgh and I went with these guys on the wall.

32:38Jason Mantzoukas:It's like, it's gone. But is he Izzy or is he not? Because his name is not Izzy. Wait, is he Izzy or is he not? But doesn't he also at some point make Jennifer Aniston call him Izzy? Refer to him as Izzy? Yeah. Because that's two movies where he insists on being called by another name. I feel like there's a lot of Boogie Nights in this movie, but it's like five times worse. This is like the trial run for Boogie Nights. Yeah. Yeah, he was like, let me do this. Also, this guy's hair is a real problem. So I think we're coming up to the thing here. So here we go. Keep your voice in set. Great shape.

33:13Oh, Miss Reed, my choir teacher, She always gives us some really cool exercises. She eats a lot of pussy, that's how. Oh, yeah, I eat a lot of pussy. What channel is that? Like father, like son. Like, how are they watching a press conference?

33:27Jason Mantzoukas:She said, like father, like son. And then you go, okay, that's weird. And then they continue it. The next scene, Jennifer Anderson's like, I'm going to make you an honest man, so you're not going to lie about eating a lot of pussy because you'll eat my pussy. and then the next scene he's in the mirror going like I eat a lot of pussy I eat a lot of pussy and then Jennifer is like hey stop talking about it come on in here and do it it's like wow they really went to town on that joke that's his like you talking to me moment that's his taxi driver scene is like practicing I eat a lot of pussy I eat a lot of pussy but he would never need to practice that line because he never uses the accent.

34:15There you go. Sorry. His parents, by the way, isn't it nice that his parents support him? I really, I like that his parents were supportive. I feel like this guy doesn't overcome anything. I feel like his parents are supportive. He wears makeup. He never gets made fun of. He's not a hero. He's just like a really privileged person. He wears makeup in Pittsburgh and people are fine with it.

34:41Jason Mantzoukas:And when he wears makeup like the again it feels like an almost scene like he's repairing the toner on a copier and the guy goes is that makeup? And he goes yeah I'm in a band. End of scene. No take on that. No anything. It's like oh misunderstanding. Genuine misunderstanding. They also pull up to a truck and in tons of makeup and long hair and they sing to these like steel workers and the guys are like, this is totally normal. This is the town we live in and I'm fine with it and I don't hate you. I live in an America that has never existed.

35:25I also feel, can we talk about the hair? Because I feel like it's the most hair that's been in any movie.

35:31Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, it's aggressive hair. It's almost as if like there's a competition like that's their wig. I want mine to look like an Elizabethan wig. It was like, it just like, it was. I feel like everybody got to choose who they wanted to be. I feel like McNulty was like, I want Brian May hair from Queen. Give me giant crazy hair. Okay.

Here's my, okay. The other question I have about her career though. So if she starts off as a, as his manager, was, why couldn't she continue to manage him? Like, wouldn't that be a huge career move for her to manage this huge rock star? Well, I feel like they already have those positions filled.

38:11But I was confused, too. Like, once she's slotted into, like, they kind of put it, Tim Spall is the band's manager. And he's like, well, the wives, they ride in that limo over there. No wives on the thing, whatever, whatever. Like, she doesn't get a storyline that is like, well, I'm his manager. or like you're the band's manager. Like there is no like for her moment of like, well, no, this is my job, you know? She is just relegated to that wife position. That part was so weird because that was the how did I get here montage. And it insinuated that years were passing or like that a long time was passing.

38:46So she rode in that shitty little car with all those blonde women for years.

38:51Jason Mantzoukas:And by the way, years. And it seemingly got the cover of the same magazine like seven times. if you told me this movie took place over the course of seven years i would believe you the interesting thing about the the limo scene was that they kept on they kept on alluding to all this fun she could have if she wanted to what did that mean like she can fuck around too yeah is that all it meant like you can fuck other guys well here here we go and i have some interesting facts about this it comes with the territory and i mean you can either drive yourself baddie trying to change it or you can simply adapt.

39:28You gotta let him off the leash for a bit of a romp every once in a while. Otherwise they get a little cranky, you know. Besides at the end of the day they always come home. And who's to say that you can't have your own fun? Exactly. Here's some advice for me. Number one, learn to share. Oh. Number two, get very close with his account. And number three, don't sign anything, even if it's not typed. I had to learn that the hard way.

39:58Jason Mantzoukas:Now, what makes the scene interesting is that all three of these women are actual wives of rock stars. Rachel Hunter was married to Rod Stewart and was in a relationship with Kip Winger, who was in Alice Cooper's band. Heidi Mark was married to Vince Neil. And Carrie Stevens was the girlfriend of the kiss drummer Eric Carr. So they all are playing versions of themselves. This movie did not need to get meta. You know what I mean? It's a little bit of a waste. But I would love to follow that Rachel Hunter character. Rachel Hunter? Yeah, I guess just Rachel Hunter. Just follow her on Twitter. Oh, like, is it that easy?

40:46I think so. All right.

40:48Jason Mantzoukas:It is, wow. Wow, wow, wow. Interesting thing about this movie was Brad Pitt was supposed to play the lead and he dropped out due to creative differences. I like to think of Mark, the character he plays in this movie, as the guy Rachel dated after Ross, but before Brad.

41:17Jason Mantzoukas:So let's go to the crowd. Let's see what they have to say about this movie. All right, let me come down to you. And tonight, if you ask a good question, or pretty much any question, you'll get a gift from our good friends at IMAX, who one day I showed up to work, and I have boxes of IMAX shit. And so thank you, IMAX. Okay, yes, right over here. And ask the question in your best British accent, okay? And we've seen what's happened in the movie, so just try it. It doesn't have to work 100%. So, okay, your name? It's Candy. Okay, Candy, ask your question. British accent, go. Can we talk about how after the British accent pussy conversation he has with himself in the mirror, the song is Lick It Up by Kiss?

42:03Jason Mantzoukas:Amazing, amazing. That was great. You're awesome. Yes. All the music cues are so obvious. All the music cues are so on the nose. There is no subtlety at all. Sir, your name? Greg. Greg, your question in a British accent, go. First of all, I have a little something for you. Okay, great, in a British accent. Okay. I got a little something for you, Paul and Jason. I have the movie that shall not be named, Jacob's Ladder. Oh, an actual Jacob's Ladder toy. Oh, thank you so much. Thank you so much.

42:40So I have a question. At the end, when he leaves the band and just walks off stage, where'd the money go? He seems to be hitchhiking home.

42:50Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah, they didn't pay for a return flight. Hitchhiking home with a guitar he has never played. And will never play. He's not a guitarist. By the way, I just want to point out that this gentleman is wearing a Steel Dragon shirt. Wait. Amazing. Wait. Is that homemade or where did you find that? Wait, don't applaud this. Why? Is that homemade or did you find that? Online. Wow, all right. Get your Steel Dragon shirt. Your name and your question in a British accent. I'm Eloise. Can I please not do a question? Try it. Just try it. Just try it. Just try it. You got this, Eloise. Okay, so. I'm not, but okay.

43:35So Jennifer Aniston drinks a drink before the orgy scene and then is like stumbling around and like the creepy manager dude is like, gravity doesn't exist here. And was she drugged? Was she roofied?

43:47Jason Mantzoukas:I thought the same thing. I thought they did. I thought she'd been roofied as well. Let me go over here. That was a good question. What do we got? All right. What do we got? All right. Yes, you. All right. Your name. Guys, don't not raise your hands because you don't want to do a British accent. Raise your hand. Be brave, audience. Be brave. All right. My name's Brittany. My question is, I don't know what this accent is, but they have the orgy, right? Mark Wahlberg wakes up the next day. He walks in. The girl is peeing, standing up. What the fuck? Let's talk about it again. I'm sorry. It's a very...

44:24Jason Mantzoukas:Here you go. Here's your glasses. There you go. All right. So, obviously... What's the question? It was just like, what happened there? Oh. She had a dick. All right. Hang on. Were you confused on that? This movie is pretty homophobic, transphobic, every which way. But also, like, the band kicks out the singer for being gay, but then is very progressive on trans issues, which was so confusing. I couldn't figure out if they were kicking him out because he was gay or if he was using that against them. I couldn't figure that whole conversation out. And then he's, like, Irish dancing at the end as if that's a gay thing.

45:09Yes, that was also strange. Michael Flaherty is a virulent heterosexual man. Flatley? Michael Flatley? Really? Yeah, he's super straight, trust me.

45:22Jason Mantzoukas:Yes, sir, your name and your question in British. Damon, and on that same point, why is this a world where only gay people don't have big hair? And that's not his big secret is I'm gay, therefore this was always a wig. Even though I have a perfectly healthy full head of hair, I couldn't grow it out because I'm really gay. That's a good point. That's a great point. I'm going to get you an IMAX. Good point. Good point. All right. One more question. One more question. If you're British, you definitely get to ask a question. You're British in the back? Actually, absolutely from Britain. No. You British?

46:01All right.

46:02Jason Mantzoukas:Come forward. All right. You can come forward. All right. Oh, sorry. All right. The real, let's just, let's see. A real Brit. Here we go. Hi, how are you? I got your name and your question. Kylie, and my question is... Kylie, I know you. You're not British. Yeah, I don't believe it. Kylie, no. I'm not a real Brit Paul. Kylie, you're getting real grabby with the mic. I'll open mic though. Very grabby with the mic, Kylie. I know you. Kylie, she's not British, right? She's not British. She's a lovely individual. I do want to have a couple more people stand up to figure out if they're really British or not.

46:37Yeah. Okay, here's the challenge. Who can trick us into thinking they're actually British? Yes!

46:44Jason Mantzoukas:Say one line. Kylie, you blew it. Also, I know you. Kylie's already not British. All right, so let's see. All right, ma 'am, one line. One line. Hello, I have one absolute small question. Nope. It was pretty good. It was pretty good. I need one more line. I need one more line. Do you have a specific line you want me to say? You're not British. You're not British. Wow. Yeah, yeah. All right. These guys are dressed like Steel Panther, by the way. Amazing. All dressed as Steel Panther. Steel Dragon. Steel Dragon.

47:22Do you think that when Timothy... No, I don't think... I don't think... This British test feels racist. And I love it. I hold it. I'll do my... Cheer up, Chuckie. It might never happen. Yes, totally British. Totally British. That was real. That was crazy real. You did it. Oh, my goodness. Ladies and gentlemen, Prince Harry.

47:51Jason Mantzoukas:So this character that Mark is playing, at one point he gets upset at the time on the road, whether it's a week, seven years, a month. We don't know how long it's been. and then he replaces himself on stage effortlessly. He's like, you can do this? Great, get up here. Later. That's the weirdest way. It's so easy to be in that band. You just have to go to the front of the stage and just scream. And then they're like, yeah, that's fine. It's not hard to be in the band at all. And the fact that the audience is kind of okay with it, they're like, yeah, works. Works for us. They're on so much heroin they don't care.

48:34Well, it really is the idea of like, oh, the interchangeability of these lead singers is like, oh, I guess anybody can do this. But that's not a thing. That's literally not a thing that happens. And also, that guy's never played these songs live before with this band. It's also like, I feel like at that moment, it's supposed to be like this really cool thing that Mark Wahlberg is doing for the guy. But it's like the guy who introduces you to smoking when you're eight. You know what I mean? Like, it's like this is, they just ruined this motherfucker's life. Like, this guy is going to kill himself in, like, two years.

49:05It's like a deal with the devil.

49:06Jason Mantzoukas:It's like, you can replace me because I'm miserable. I'm like, yeah. Jake, who introduced you to smoking at eight? That is a British person. No, come on. Are those people in those rooms? Oh, no. This interview with Jennifer Aniston made me laugh because you'll see what is happening. She was dating Brad Pitt at the time. That's why the interviewer asked her about Brad Pitt. So here we go. Did Brad give you any advice to play this role?

49:39Well, you know, there's all sorts of... I can't say he sat down and gave me advice, but he definitely talked me through just sort of her sensibilities, you know, which we kind of figured out sort of anyway, which was just not knowing, because there wasn't much of a part there, so I didn't know how to elevate her. I didn't know what its purpose was, except that once I figured out that she was sort of, you know, I mean, once we developed the character, because there was really nothing at first. And then she sort of became the audience's perspective.

50:13Jason Mantzoukas:Which I just think is fun. It wasn't much of a part there. She's not wrong. She's great, though. She is. I would watch this movie. That's what this movie is. This movie, when we picked it, I was like, I've seen this on TBS. this is fine. Like, and when you just have to sit and watch the whole thing. I would argue she is the most interesting character in this movie. Yeah, 100%. This movie, if it was from her perspective, more than anybody else's.

50:44Well, she's the only one. Hang on. I didn't need one single person to applaud through that.

50:53Jason Mantzoukas:The only thing that I, the only thing, the only thing,

51:02that was me no no no that wasn't what I was doing what's wrong with you people more of you need to leave

51:13Jason Mantzoukas:she's obviously she's the smartest most developed character ultimately she has a plan she has a job she's getting forward and she's like you know what I don't like this lifestyle I'm gonna open up my coffee shop and start a fucking trend in America with independent coffee shops. And if that falls apart, I'll just pierce people's nipples. That nipple piercing scene was not fun for me. No, I couldn't watch that. It was too many close-ups. Was that needle sterilized? No, huh? No, he definitely got an infection. In more ways than one in this movie. I for real feel like the line should have been like when he's playing in the...

51:54This is the nipple.

51:56Jason Mantzoukas:Well, I won't even play the whole thing because it's really visual, but I will just say that this is the... Oh, yeah, there's a lot of tongue, but this is what I don't want to see. Close up on needle, in the liquor, and then... Here we go. Hold on one second.

52:17Jason Mantzoukas:We don't have to get that close. We don't need it. And you know that's not Mark Wahlberg. So you know they're like, does anybody want to get their nipple pierced today? And some grip was like, I'll do it. So then they do it. They get the nipple. They cut away from this. Sorry, June. All right, cut away. And then as soon as you think, oh, it's over, thank God. Boom, right back in. Which is, by the way, like a paperclip. like a twisted up paper clip is what she puts in it looks so painful oh yes painful I agree with Paul painful I don't mean hot obviously we had an opinion about this movie but there are people out there with a different opinion it's now time for second opinions you know I'm just a normal guy I grew up with posters of these guys on my wall

53:23And now I'm one of them.

53:29Stand up and shout!

53:38Stand up and shout! Five stars, five stars, five stars for Mark and Mark! Five stars, five stars, five stars. Don't know what you want or what you're thinking. I can change your taste in movies. Read my Amazon and you will see. Opinions are all you'll ever give from me Roll a review Five stars, five stars, this fucking movie rules Five stars, five stars, five stars

54:42Jason Mantzoukas:Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. That was unbelievable. What's your name? Ryan. Ryan. Well, here we go. Here's a book by our friend Scott C. And you can have that and have a seat. Thank you so much. Great job, Ryan! What? Holy cow. Wow. Here's the thing. I would ask now our audience to take that raw vocal track and put music to it. That was pretty fucking impressive. And that guy was nervous to come up like, I think I got something. Meanwhile, he had a fucking whole act worked out flawlessly. And by the way, Ryan, like, sat like a fucking gentleman, waited until nobody raised their hand, then was like, fine, I'll fucking do it.

55:32Yeah. And by the way, I'm looking at you four dudes dressed like Steel Dragon who were like, let's dress up, but not prepare a song. You blew it, dummies.

55:50Jason Mantzoukas:Well, here we go. 502 reviews for this film. 50 % five stars. 50 %? Yes. Are five stars? Yes. Holy shit. So this one is called my all-time favorite rock and roll movie by Rick Brunson. Having spent a number of years on the road with an American hard rock band, Reed, White Snake, Death Leopard, Van Halen, I was blown away by the authenticity of Rockstar. In particular, the characters were believable and authentic Reed, egocentric, self-absorbed, with a dash of charisma. the film is an accurate depiction of how it really is headlining and living the life. For those of you who lived or want to experience the edgy, in-your-face, hardcore era, this is it.

56:49Jason Mantzoukas:Five stars. And by the way, a majority of these reviews express a very similar sentiment. So all of them are written from people who are in bands? A lot are. Like, I'm being, I'm not, that's not, yeah, a lot are. This one's written by G. Madison. What can I say? Excellent movie. Mark Wahlberg, excellent. FYI, when I submitted my first review, it was based on the TV version. Now that I've seen the uncut DVD version, I want to say I don't care for the raunchy, vulgar, sexually related terms like the P, the D, and the F word. I know that doesn't bother many others and I know those terms are used in many R-rated movies and they should be expected in a movie about a rock band but I just want to make it clear that I don't care for that aside from that though an excellent movie, five stars what else was there besides that in the movie?

57:47the version he watched was 45 minutes long

57:53Jason Mantzoukas:this is from AI Baruti as one who fully accepts that you are what you desire and act upon this movie hits the spot not only is it about more than music as alluded to it is about life itself life in the sense that we all have a secret and sometimes not so secret dream that we all hold within more often than not such a dream goes unrealized perhaps this will be lost on some then again maybe not but live your life and you will feel me defer not your dreams for they are the very thing that can and will and do guide the ship that you call your life I would bet I would bet my life that Wahlberg wrote that review himself This one This one right here This is a one-liner This is from Randy Given I've seen many movies of this genre Although movies like Almost Famous have won more awards This movie is my favorite It's more honest, five stars Almost Famous written by someone who actually was on the road No big deal Okay D.

59:17Jason Mantzoukas:Roush writes this Yep, that's right. With Rockstar, a film where he went to take a piss is the ultimate catchphrase. Not all the cliches in the world can stop it from being a really deep drama. Half of you probably think I'm on crack. Oh, well, I'm not, by the way.

59:46Jason Mantzoukas:with the vehicle for this rite of passage themed story being heavily dipped in 80s excess many people trash this movie despite its somewhat tongue-in-cheek satirical treatment but you know what you're missing the point of the film what is life about yes folks that is the question. And a little movie called Rockstar left me pondering that as I exited the theater. And more recently, when I turned off the DVD player. Five stars.

1:00:18Jason Mantzoukas:And then this one should be read in a Cockney British accent. Well, anyone want to take a shot at that? You made everybody else do it. Alright, I'll say it like this. Bloody hell, mate, this flick is tops, man. Long live Steel Dragon and stand up and shout a must for any music lover. Five stars. There you go. Those are our five star reviews. By the way, that was a great that was a great rendition of Stand Up and Shout. Yeah, really solid, right? I would love it if that became your karaoke song. Stand up! I lost it. There was one more piece of trivia I just wanted to say. When I googled this movie, I went to the Wikipedia page and the movie came out September 7, 2001, which was four days before 9-11, which Mark Wahlberg said he could have stopped.

1:01:11But he couldn't save his own movie, so I doubt it. And I think it's a beautiful part about this movie's history.

1:01:21Go to Wikipedia, it's real.

1:01:25Jason Mantzoukas:Just a couple of quick facts about the movie. The tagline is the story of a wannabe who got to be. and also it was made for $57 million and yes and it made 17 I do believe that the 9-11 probably affected that and $57 million? $57 million American hair? This is made in American dollars and here if you were following with us This movie, the top three movies of the year were Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Lord of the Rings, and Shrek. And this movie came out 108th in all the movies that came out there. And it was beaten by a movie that we did called Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. But however, it beat on the line a movie that we did with the NSYNC kids and Glitter.

1:02:23Jason Mantzoukas:So it didn't fall to the bottom of the track there. Was that Hubcap and Turkey Sandwich? Yeah, that was on the line. Turkey's up. So there we go. Any other final thoughts on Rockstar? I didn't care for it. Oh, yeah, that's a good question. Would you recommend this movie? I would not. I would not. It didn't cross over into being so fun to me that it would be necessary really to watch. You could watch it like you could get a taste of it, but I don't think you need to watch the whole movie. I feel like when I watch a trailer, I was like, oh, yeah, I got that movie. Pretty much. I don't think it's necessary to watch.

1:02:58How about they get the soundtrack from?

1:03:01Jason Mantzoukas:What's that? Soundtrack, June? I would argue it's most interesting before he gets into Steel Dragon. Like the battle of the Steel Dragon tribute bands is more interesting to me than anything else. I hear that. Jake, what do you think? This is just one random thing. Why did it have bookends of documentary footage? That was another weird thing. It's like, this isn't a documentary and it's not cool. Stop. Yeah. It felt like that was a half idea that they were like, oh, but yeah, let's forget that. Like, yeah, it was like, it really is. Yeah. There's no other. What are we talking about here? Yeah.

1:03:39I don't know. I love the movie and I think everyone should watch it.

1:03:44Jason Mantzoukas:So Jake. Cold Jake. Hot Jake. Jake. So your show, which you created, Corporate, is on Comedy Central. It's really funny. How would you describe it? I mean, it's like, I feel like the most realistic version of an, like, of, like, corporate, like, cubicle America kind of a show. Yeah, it's kind of like Office Space meets American Psycho. And basically, it's like, it's like how, you know how most offices, you know how, like, even you're at this job right now and it's a really great job, but you still want to die? That's kind of what everyone feels at every job. That's what the show's about. And it's got a great cast.

1:04:24Jason Mantzoukas:It's on Wednesday nights, but you can watch it on the Comedy Central app. At cc.com at any time, yeah. Perfect. Jean, what would you like to plug? I will plug Grace and Frankie because the fourth season is streaming right now. So you can watch that.

1:04:41Jason? Oh, I got nothing. Although I will say, and we've plugged this before, but I will say, Paul and I did another episode of the Chris Gethard Show. Oh, yeah. It's on True TV. I don't know how to watch it at this point, but in the first two minutes of the show, Chris Gethard abandons his own talk show and leaves Paul and I holding the hat for an hour-long live television broadcast.

1:05:09Jason Mantzoukas:We had nothing scripted, nothing to do. We had no one told us anything. We didn't know what was going to happen. We didn't know he was leaving, and we fucking crushed it. We killed it. We brought a tortoise out there. We brought the entire audience on the street. It's good. And I would say it's worth the money to just buy it on iTunes. If it exists on iTunes, I would say buy it. Yeah, it's called The Chris Gethard Show. Thank you so much for coming out tonight. A big thank you to everyone who helps make this show possible.
