yeah well it's so hard to get a movie created into the finish line especially
these days it
seems even harder dude especially comedies nowadays you have to like mask it
this is why
it's a big action comedy because you really have to go like action action and
then and then it's
a comedy but this we it's just like it's it's why i was so happy to work with
sandler's company is
we could just go full steam on the comedy as opposed to you know you watch
comedies nowadays
you're like no this isn't a comedy you're not where's the jokes like where's
the bits bad yeah
comedy's gotten kind of bad yeah it kind of sucks yeah movie comedy movie yeah
there's still good
shows and stuff but like yeah movie comedy uh it's it's hard but which luckily
uh i i my theory is i
think i think like marvel ruined it i feel like superhero movies kind of ruined
comedies because
they people watch you go to the theater yeah and you expect to watch something
that costs 200
million dollars to make and comedy movies aren't that aren't that so you're
like well why would i
spend the same amount of money to go watch a little comedy in a theater if i
could spend the same amount
of money and go see something that is is worth 200 million dollars right you
know and then they still
make those movies kind of funny like they're i mean they're not comedies but
there's like right
there's ant you're like oh my god is that raccoon talking yeah this is
hilarious uh
which it is but uh but yeah so it's not it's not like a real comedy and then
now they there used to
be something like every studio would put out several comedies every every year
and there was like 45 or
46 comedies in the theaters every year so about every week or every other week
or so there's a new
comedy in the theaters and uh and then now last year there was like six or
seven that's crazy it's
crazy and people need and the crazy thing is is it feels like people need
comedy more than ever yeah
i feel like they want it i feel yeah so that's what this movie was it was like
and there's no like
hidden message i feel like nowadays people like you get to the end of what you
think is a comedy and
you're like is that about global warming yeah yeah you're like is this there's
like some deep hidden
message that i'm supposed to i'm supposed to recycle more or like you know yeah
there has to be
something else right oh the moon is trans is that what is that surprising yeah
you're like okay i do i
guess we do have to think about that don't we yeah i agree there's there's a
lot of what was it was a
great and that's what your david spade and uh your movie is about yeah yeah
trans moon yeah yeah you
guys are just the people to to spread that message oh it's about transportation
it's about a lot of
vehicles admitting who they really yeah cars wanting to be motorcycles
motorcycles wishing they were
scooters yeah it's just it's where things are man oh dude there's a riveting
scene where a short bus
uh admits that he's a skateboard yeah and it's yeah it's powerful whoa it's
worth doing it we're doing
but the great thing is i feel like you could walk into a place and pitch that
and then yeah
and they wouldn't laugh you out of the room they'd be like okay well that's the
thing you know because
i like my job now is kind of well obviously acting and that kind of stuff but
then like i'm pitching
a lot so i'll like pitch movies uh and every executive is like yeah but why
should we make this movie now
and you're like because it's funny yeah because it's funny what do you mean
like whatever happened
to just like we want to make people laugh like it doesn't need to be right yeah
right there it doesn't
need to attach itself to some like hook in the world right now it doesn't i
mean if it does and
that's the movie then sure right but it doesn't always have to it could just be
like whatever
happened to just it's funny for funny's sake i know i feel like super bad was
one of the last movies that
they kind of had like that in some ways like that was really just super fun
like i mean there's been a
lot of other funny movies i'm not saying that um yeah but i get what you're
saying it was like
the hangover super bad it was like that was sort of the last gasp of like for
no reason at all like
this is just funny because it's funny you know and luckily like netflix is one
of the places that is
just willing to roll the dice a little more than than other places because it
matters so much less
like like like the machine and sebastian's movie um about my father i think uh
the fact that they put
both of those movies out on the same weekend i'm like that sucks because like
you're putting out
six movies all year long and then you put two of them out on the same weekend
and so like if you're
gonna go see a comedy you had to choose between these two and then when those
movies only make
eight million dollars or whatever opening weekend well you're like well if it
was only the one movie
maybe it could have made 14. could have made yeah 15 16 and then that's a
healthy amount for it to
make but right yeah so uh so yeah support if you like comedy support comedies
watch it tell your
friends to watch it um and then and then we'll have the opportunity to make
more of them and and it used
to be you know well people are like well if you made better comedies then and
it's like sure but it's
hard to make a movie first of all it's really hard and secondly uh there used
to be like 40 shots
and making a good comedy and then maybe two or three of them were a classic
comedy and you're like
well that old school and came out and you're like well there was 28 other
movies that weren't old
school that came out that year you know what i mean right so the more
opportunities we have to make
classic comedies the the more we'll be able to to nail it but i i do think outlaws
uh has a potential to
be one of those type of movies so i'm really proud of it hope you enjoyed that
video and you can watch
another and you can watch this one you can watch this one different options
different choices some
guy just brings you one option not this guy two options watch one this one or
this one
