03:30breaking news tonight chaos has spread across the city officials are advising to shelter in place
03:39this summer you see anything no from the director of her you smell it
03:47what oh shit he's dropping trail we got this
04:01oh
04:01i got duked does this mean i'm gonna die we all gotta die sooner or later buddy and you're dying
04:11sooner
04:18all right y'all we love it but shit's whack up in here we got a trailer crisis heartland theater
04:24owners are refusing to show this because of the diarrhea explosion what that's literally the
04:28funniest part of the trailer this is a movie where zombies infect people with their diarrhea how the
04:34else are we supposed to sell this exactly hold on now are we losing the point of the film in the
04:39comedy we made a dark satire about medical disinformation and i don't want that to get
04:43lost no it's true it's a very deep and complex film but i want that diarrhea explosion in the trailer
04:47it's got to be as long as you maintain my client's vision okay sure but there's a real concern that
04:52the graphic depiction of diarrhea will hurt the concession cells of brown liquid i.e coca-cola
04:58this is why i said we should have sold to streamers no testing no theater owners
05:02don't be such a agent okay blow me that the horror and comedy play better in theaters and
05:07this is a horror comedy you are one thousand percent right he's right
05:10it's true i said okay okay knowing my audience how about we just lean into the whole zombie
05:16aspect of it and design soda cups with uh zombie dookie or diarrhea coke oh my god you're a genius
05:24you're a genius okay okay okay what if we have a free theatrical trailer save the
05:28explosion for the red band call it a brown band no that's a very good idea but honestly i think we
05:33got to lead with the explosion when's the absolute hard out deadline to ship this absolute out the door
05:39drop dead done finito 10 p.m tonight okay here's what we're going to do we're going to tweak this
05:43joke but we are not going to cut it i'll ram it through with the theater owners thank you everybody

12:49popcorn it's a joke yes it's funny no it's literally not at all what i do i guess i'm very
12:55important just saying we we all have very high pressure jobs that's all i'm saying yeah there's
13:02pressure i mean i honestly i'm i mean i'm jealous of it we deal with life and death and and youth
13:08i mean you just deal with rotten tomatoes tomato meter has a big impact on box office i won't lie and
13:15for the record you know people die on movie sets all the time is that something to brag about
13:22no not at all i'm not i would not brag about i i'm just saying you all care deeply about the outcome
13:28of your work just as i care deeply about the outcome of my art well your art you wait don't
13:34you you work for the studios that make the those mk ultra movies right the exploding head movies
13:40yeah that's you think that's art i do come on look it's i'm sure it's very well made popcorn
13:49film but it's not art art no no right yeah let's go find us yeah
13:59it is art for the record all movies are art you don't get to pick which movies are art which ones
14:03aren't are just because you don't like them that's honestly my favorite thing about art is that as long
14:07as it is a pure expression of human emotion it is by definition art so picasso's guernica and the
14:14emoji movie are both art that's what you're saying is the godfather not art no obviously the godfather
14:19is there you go right they don't even make movies like that anymore it's all superheroes and fighter
14:25pilots you want art you watch tv have you seen the bear oh yes okay i'm going to show you a screen grab
14:35from mk ultra and i want you to look at this and tell me that that is not art we used to take with
14:40no diarrhea in the mouth what that's that's a work thing don't worry about that that sounds like real
14:46art to me if you must know that message is actually in regards to a very important satire we're making
14:54and you guys should find this interesting about medical disinformation in the social media age
14:59with diarrhea in the mouth yes we have uh very cleverly decided to use the metaphor of zombies
15:06spreading their virus through projectile diarrhea so you're very important satire it's what it's just
15:14poop jokes well you know what art is meant to elicit a reaction and you're giving me the reaction of
15:21laughter just proving even further that it is art you know yeah my reaction is that movie sounds
15:27fucking dumb yeah will you tell that to academy award winner spike jones who he directed the
15:33movie who is spike jones okay yeah no he doesn't need to know who that is who cares right i'm more
15:40than happy they keep bringing it up honestly good you know i just have to take one more call i'm sorry
15:45i'm sorry okay okay be right back hello having fun with your doctors yeah honestly no these people are a
15:54a lot less sophisticated than i thought they'd be they don't even know who spike jones is check your phone

19:10Are you insane?
19:12What the fuck are you doing?
19:13You want fun?
19:14That was fun.
19:15That was actually fun.
19:16That was great.
19:17You're bidding against our table.
19:19I mean, what's more important to you guys?
19:22You want money for charity or you want to go play some golf?
19:25And also, this is how the dynamic is traditionally.
19:28People in the arts, we fund your little science projects.
19:31You know what I mean?
19:31Fucking arts again.
19:32Okay, I'm sorry that you need people in the arts.
19:35The Spielberg Pavilion, the Streisand Center, for whatever the fuck you built.
19:38No, you don't even like golf.
19:39They sold me on it.
19:40They were actually incredibly convincing.
19:41The pursuit of imperfection, like life, like art, actually.
19:44I need a drink.
19:45Yeah, let's get a drink.
19:46Let's go get a drink.
19:47Anyone want a drink?
19:48Come buy him.
19:49Seriously, are you that butthurt about those guys making fun of your little poop movie?
19:57Are you seriously suggesting I just gave $200,000 to charity to be an asshole?
20:01Yes, because that's exactly what you did.
20:03No, it isn't.
20:04I got swept up in the moment of the auction.
20:06Yes, it was a contagious energy.
20:08Excuse me.
20:08Oh, I'm sorry.
20:09I had no idea you were so very charitable and caring.
20:11I am, you know?
20:13Okay, well, if you are and you really don't care about golf, then give the vacation to
20:17Steve and Josh.
20:18That way you can look like a hero and maybe just maybe go some way towards looking like
20:23less of an asshole.
20:23Well, you know, honestly, I was really excited about the idea of playing golf in Scotland.
20:31Ireland.
20:31Even better.
20:33But I will seriously think about what you're saying.
20:36I'll consider it.
20:37Okay.
20:39You think fucking long and hard about it.
20:42I just think that in the wrong hands, AI becomes a diagnostic crutch.
20:57And hello.
20:58Hello.
20:58Um, I'd like to apologize to all of you, okay?
21:02I'm really genuinely sorry I outbid you in the auction.
21:06And I would like to offer you the golf trip for free, okay?
21:09That is very kind.
21:11Yes.
21:11Really?
21:11And, uh, all, uh, I would ask for, uh, in exchange is for us all to agree that what
21:18I do is as important as what you all do.
21:24And if we don't agree?
21:25Do you actually not agree at all?
21:28You don't agree at all?
21:29Look, Matt, movies are important to you.
21:31And that, that is great for you.
21:34But they are not as important as medicine.
21:37Why does one have to be more important than the other?
21:39That's all I'm saying.
21:40Why can't they be equally as important as each other?
21:42Because they're not.
21:43I'm sorry, but if a parent has a child with cancer, they bring them to Cedars.
21:47They don't take them to the Cinerama Dome.
21:50Okay, okay, okay, okay.
21:51But once they get to Cedars, what is on the wall of every single room?
21:57Heart monitor.
21:58Light side.
21:59A screen!
22:00A television screen to watch movies on!
22:02People need entertainment, art, whatever you want to call it.
22:05Look, you guys save lives.
22:07And I applaud you for that.
22:10But we, the artists, we make life worth living.
22:13No, no, no.
22:14People, people like movies.
22:16They don't need movies.
22:18They need doctors.
22:20And if you don't see that, then you're fucking delusional.
22:22You're a fucking dumb fuck, you know what I'm saying?
22:24Hey, don't call me a dumb fuck, because you are perhaps the most boring man I've ever met in my entire life.
22:29You are.
22:29You're boring.
22:29You like golf.
22:31A boring sport, mate.
22:32You're boring people, okay?
22:33Lay off, go.
22:34What lay off?
22:35I'm not going to lay.
22:35I will not be told to back off by a man dressed like Jiminy fucking Cricket, okay?
22:39You're a real piece of shit.
22:40Oh, I'm a piece of shit?
22:41Okay, well, let me tell you one thing.
22:43Of all the medical gals that have graced the halls of the Wilshire Abel Theater, what is the one plaque on the fountain about?
22:49The movie that had been shot here.
22:51Gigli's on that motherfucker.
22:53Gigli!
22:54Our worst films are getting more recognition than all the medical gals that have ever happened.
22:59Ever.
22:59Come with me.
23:00What the fuck is your deal?
23:01I don't have a deal.
23:02I am just, you know, realizing that perhaps you don't have any respect for what I do, and maybe I don't have any respect for what you do.
23:07And we have one of those relationships where there's a healthy mutual disrespect for what one another does.
23:11Well, you don't respect curing cancer.
23:13Oh, you cured cancer?
23:15I didn't read the headline.
23:16Great, I'm going to get a pack of cigarettes, right?
23:19Un-fucking-believable.
23:22I have to make a quick phone call.
23:28Excuse me.
23:28Where are we at with the trailer?
23:31Just got approval on the latest cut.
23:33Great, thank you.
23:34Great.
23:35Save the shit-splosion.
23:36Thank God.
23:36Shit, I'm sorry.
23:37Fuck.
23:38Shit!
23:39Ow!
23:39Fuck!
23:40Ow!
23:42Whoa, whoa, whoa.
23:43You okay?
23:43I'm fine.
23:44I'm fine.
23:45Okay?
23:45Oh, you should sit.
23:46We should really get you checked out.
23:47Okay, Jesus.
23:48You doctors all have God complexes.
23:50I'm fine.
23:51Thank you, okay?
23:52Oh, my God.
23:54Oh, fuck.
24:00Oh, no.
24:01Ah!

24:12Oh, fuck.
24:19Oh, God.
24:24What?
24:26If you've come back to apologize, you know what?
24:28Don't bother.
24:29It won't work.
24:31Fuck.
24:32Why are you so sweaty?
24:34You know what?
24:34I don't care.
24:35Just get out.
24:37This is done.
24:38Just get out.
24:39Leave us.
24:39I was going to leave anyway.
24:40Jesus Christ.
24:40Okay.
24:41Unbelievable.
24:42Jesus Christ.
24:43No, I got no idea.
24:44Sorry.
24:44So much.
24:45She's embarrassing.
24:47Ah!
24:57Oh, fuck.
24:59Ow!
25:01I called ahead.
25:02The hospital has a private room waiting.
25:07Do you know what will be on the wall of that room when I get there?
25:11A scream.
25:12A scream.
25:14And you enjoy that scream, man.
25:25Oh, fucking shit!
25:27It had to be you.
25:31It had to be you.
25:32It had to be you.
25:35It had to be you.
25:43I wonder why...
25:44You know, in order to fully appreciate MKUltra 4, you have to have seen MKUltra 2, which,
25:49you know, technically in the timeline comes between MKUltra 3 and MKUltra 4.
25:53Yeah, no shit.
25:54Michael Peña is a client.
25:55The third one was the best.
25:58The first one solid, second one okay, but MKUltra 4 made me want to stab my fucking eyes out.
26:05Hmm.
26:06At least it's an original franchise.
26:08I'll give you guys, I'll give you that.
26:10Thanks.
26:16Are you free next Saturday?
26:17No.
26:18I'm thinking of you, some others I've seen, might never be me, for nobody else gave me a thrill.
26:46With all your thoughts, I love you still.
26:53It had to be you, wonderful you.
27:00It had to be you.
27:16Not enough.
27:17We'll never forget.
27:18I will never forget.
27:19No.
27:20I'm thinking.
27:21You're working.
27:22Huh?!
27:23I'm thinking.
27:24No.
27:25I'm not.
27:26I'm thinking of you, some others.
27:27All right.
27:28I'll never forget.
27:29I'm...
27:30Yeah.
27:31You're good.
27:32You're good to be, as I bet.
27:33I'm not.
27:34I'm not.
27:35No.
27:36I was.
27:37I was.
27:38Huh?
27:39I'm not.
27:40Well.
