the joe rogan experience yeah i want you to do more movies man i really enjoyed
freddie got
finger oh yeah it's hilarious yeah yeah yeah thank you you went out there with
that man you took a
crazy chance yeah i think it shocked a lot of people they didn't know what to
do with it you
know because it was so out there but dude there's like it was one of the
ultimate stoner movies if
you're a stoner go get freddie if you mean people like you know a lot of people
haven't
haven't really heard enough good reviews of it it's really funny i did a girl
that just quoted
that all day dude that scene with the baby when the the giving birth it's i don't
want to say
anymore i don't want to ruin it i don't want to ruin it at all in a way to your
comedy but
yeah no well let me let me tell you the thing that thank you for saying that
because the thing is
you know when you when you you get thrust into the situation where all of a
sudden i had an
opportunity to make a movie you know to write i wrote it obviously was just
trying to make the
stupidest movie we could think of right now let's make it the stupidest thing
ever and then you know
the studio at the time had all this opportunity to make this they said okay
they had all these
directors i said i want to direct it too so then they let me direct it so now i'm
you know swinging
bloody babies around and you know jacking off elephants and stuff and you know
getting inside
deer carcasses and doing all this stuff right and then you know you're working
on this thing for like
a year right you know you're working on this thing for a year non-stop uh you
know you're casting it
you're uh picking all the props you're making sure oh wait the guts that come
out of that deer carcass
look like rubber to me and then the the prop guy's like well we're gonna put
some uh blood on it and
it's gonna i go well let's see what that looks like and they do it and you look
at it and you're like
no it still looks like some rubber we got to get some real guts and they're
like well we don't know
how we're gonna make real guts come out of the carcass when you cut it and then
they go they go off and
these are like people that are professionals you know and they go off and they
come back the next day and
they go okay we've rigged up this compressed air that we're gonna put in the
back of the taxidermy
deer you're gonna run your knife down the slit it's gonna shoot out real pig
guts that we've got at
the butcher shop and then you know and i'm draped in pig guts and i'm doing all
this you're doing all
this stuff right and you're thinking okay this is crazy this is gonna look
crazy then the movie comes
out everybody like you know basically you know reams you like uh you know you've
never been reamed before
in your life at this point you know i mean local papers and people and you and
you feel completely kind of
confused about it right because you're thinking
shit i thought it was pretty funny i don't know what's wrong with me right so
then but the the fun
thing about it is after that initial weekend and the whole sort of everybody
talking about your movie
being you know crazy and you know disgusting and all this stuff you uh you know
i've been on tour
this year doing stand-up and it's been so much fun because there's a lot of of
nut jobs out there in
the world that like that let that love the movie and they're and it's part of
my show now and when i do my
stand-up i do a little guitar at my show in the middle and i sing a couple like
daddy would you
like some sausage i sing that with the everybody sings it with me and then
people start shouting
out some of their favorite bits but i'm surprised i went all across australia
canada uh next month i'm
i'm going to be in uh toronto belleville um uh hamilton and london ontario and
uh people come to the shows
and uh you know are shouting out all these things from freddie that's awesome
it feels a lot i guess
what i'm saying is thanks for bringing it up this is what i feel so great to be
out and actually getting
all this positive feedback about the movie because i was made to feel like this
is murdered somebody
no this is what i think no way you were a victim of a pre-internet review
system yeah it was a bunch
of fogey old douchebags and you know the way people looked at things was you
know you couldn't just
even when what year was freddie got fingered it was 2001 yeah who the was on
the internet back then
you know what i'm saying it wasn't the same as 2010 and the thing 2010 you get
your reviews from
ainitcool.news.com yeah like that kind of shit like i always go to fandango or
something i get my
my reviews online i want to use this moment as a real opportunity for me to
actually talk about
this for a second okay i i directed this movie i put it all wrote this whole
thing everybody freaks
out on it it's pre-internet right i the other day i went and i looked at uh netflix
okay at the of the
reviews of the movies right so i did this just two days ago and i looked at the
reviews of freddie got
fingered the point of making that movie was to kind of like be polarizing right
it was supposed to be
ridiculous it was done in a way where i think that 50 of the people who watch
it are definitely going
to hate it more than anything they've ever seen in their entire life right and
that was the goal
to you know in the job is obviously that the other 50 of the people are
laughing at the 50 of the people
that hate it and it's that's that's the joke right so yeah i went on netflix
and you're reading the
reviews and it's it's pretty much 50 50 people are giving it either you know a
good review or the
worst review you've ever read in your life back and forth back and forth and
these people are just
arguing with each other about it and i'm looking at here we are 10 years later
after i made this thing
and looking at these people having these passionate arguments completely on
opposite ends of the
spectrum that's pretty funny so i like that go read the reviews on netflix i i
really truly believe
that if that movie came out today it would be an internet phenomenon people
would be so into it
i think it's it was a fun crazy movie make it 3d
you
