Alright, speeding.
Untitled, meteor mor?
- It's okay. Try it again, Mike.
I's Meteor. Remember?
- Meteor.
- Meteor, yeah.
Yeah, you got it.
- Untitled Meteor Movie, take 1.
[film slate clicks]
Okay, let's all settle now.
Jenny, you look amazing.
This is the first shot of
the movie, guys.
Pictures up.
And action.
- That's action, everybody.
And an action on the documentary as well
Cut.
- That's a cut.
Okay, there's three different
people saying action,
so I don't really know
when to go.
- Yeah, yo're right.
Okay. So we should have
done this officially before.
So obviously, guys, I am the director
and I am allowed to be
yelling action and cut
whenever I want.
Right? I'm also told that
Chris, who is my 1st AD,
is also allowed to be yelling
action and cut, but only?
- Sometimes.
Tha's right, cool. And this guy
is Tom, uh, he's the DP
and he says, speeding.
Yep.
- And then, um, Nate over here,
he says, sound speeding. Yeah.
Um, back ther's a grip, his
name is Murph and he's, um?
Actually, my name's Mike,
but Murph is cool too, so?
Back ther's Mike, and then
this guy is my cousin Devin.
He should not be saying anything at all.
He's recording behind the
scenes, so we're gonna ignore
him and his camera going
forward. Everyone cool?
Yeah. I've been on
a set before.
And tha's why we hired you.
So let's just sit back here?
And? speeding.
Speeding.
- Speeding.
Action.
- That's action.
- Action.
Hey man, I need you
to take this seriously.
Yeah, I am taking this seriously.
- Don't undermine me in
front of the cast. Okay?
I do want behind the scenes.
This is also a huge
favor to your mom.
Well, that's funny
because my mom said this
was a huge favor to you.
Stop messing with me.
I'm serious. I am.
Who the fuck is this?
Tha's Steve, he's our
second camera operator.
You have two cameras?
Hey Steve.
You have two cameras?
Okay. You know what?
Cut this.
You know what guys? He's
kind of right. Let's, let's cut.
No, I say cut. Cut 'cause
I said cut. Cut.
You can cut now.
When did you cut?
[intriguing music]
Think we should
do the wide first?
So, uh, we'll get to that scene later.
I'm not too worried about
you knocking it outta the park.
[laughing] Okay. Thanks.
Appreciate that, Terry.
- Oh!
Hey, Erica. We haven't got
to your scene yet.
I brought you guys some
peanut butter celery sticks.
Oh? 'm good.
- We loved your tape.
[laughing] Terry watched
it like a hundred times.
[laughing] Oh!
Thanks, that's? yeah, that's
really sweet of you.
Um, I'm really looking
forward to working with you.
Oh, you too!
[celery crunching]
Oh my god, these are so fucking good.
[both laughing]
Have as many as you want.
I can always make more.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
It's really cool that
you guys are married.
Oh.
- Yeah.
Oh, you know what? We should
probably shoot this scene.
[whispering] Erica, we should
shoot this scene now.
- Oh gosh. Yeah. No worries.
'll let you work.
- [laughing] Okay.
- Okay.
So do you have any like,
projects lined up after this?
Uh, I? I think I'm probably
gonna try to get an agent.
You know, maybe this will be
usable for a reel or something.
This is perfect for a reel.
- Hey uh, Terry?
- Yeah?
Uh, we really, we're five hours
behind on day one.
We gotta keep shooting, man.
I know. Of course.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Gimme one sec.
- Sure.
Let's try to keep up appearances
for the cast. Okay?
Why don't we keep up
appearances for the cast
by shooting the movie?
Then it'll appear like
we're working on the movie.
I mean, just don't be
a dick to me in front of?
[whispering] the cast.
- Okay.
A lot of people standing around
just waiting to see wha's
going on, so?
Oh, OK you know what, why don't we shoot
Love it.
- Yeah. Cool.
- Terry had the idea to shoot.
Let's get ready to shoot, guys.
[intriguing music]
[indistinct chatter]
Here they are.
The dream cast.
Garry, Jenny, Erica, Phil.
Dream, dream,
dream, dream.
[awkward laughter]
All right. Uh, so we just shot
an amazing scene upstairs.
Jenny, you absolutely killed it.
- Thank you.
Jenny asked me a question
that I think every actor
should ask a director.
What was? what was
the question again?
I asked you about, uh, my motivation.
My character's motivation.
Bingo. So,
you didn't know
what your character's motivation was.
And I had never thought about it.
But now I know this movie
is about a big scary meteor
coming to earth.
Right? That's your motivation.
A big meteor coming.
Um, awesome. So I'm gonna mess
with the camera a little bit,
and then we're gonna get into it
after the crew finishes up upstairs.
Cool?
- Cool.
- Okay.
[quietly] This scene here...
So, how far along are you?
Oh gosh. Any day now.
[laughing]
Wait, and you're still working?
- Yeah.
I mean, Terry had this dream,
so I'm here to support him.
That's so nice of you.
- Oh, thanks.
- Wow.
I'm happy for him.
This is gonna be great.
And you both are from Iowa?
Yeah. Yeah. First time in LA.
It was either now or never.
Uh, everything's gonna
change when that baby comes.
So just kind of pursue my
dream of making a movie now,
before it's all?
over, you know?
Wow. So you're telling
me this movie is like
a metaphor.
For what you're
going through in real life.
Like, the meteor is like the baby,
and once it hits everything's different.
Ooh yeah. Kind of like uh...
Eraserhead. Yeah?
What? No, i's about
a deadly meteor.
Yeah but I'm saying there's things that
can read in between the lines.
References.
- Yeah.
- Subtext. Right.
Okay. It sounds like
w've got a big problem.
None of you read the script?
You think this movie's about a baby?
- No no no.
No we read the script.
- Multiple times.
- 'm just saying like,
as the reader, we see the subtext.
I's about a meteor, Garry.
Terry, while you're here, um...
why am I wearing this?
Well, you're pregnant.
I do't love that answer.
It's maybe symbolic.
Like you're...
- Of what?
The... well... you are...
of the old... world.
Like Jenny's of the new world.
Yo're of the old...
You know, of the old...
Isn't this just what
pregnant people wear?
Hey guys! I wanted
to introduce myself,
uh, before everyone eats.
My name's Jasmine,
and I'm gonna be handling
the catering. On set.
Uh, couple quick things.
Number one,
if you guys could check your
phones for local restaurants
to order from, because I am
sure you are not gonna be
satisfied with anything I'm providing.
And number two, this is not my fault.
The budget that I was given
only allows for food
that is very, very bad.
Okay, thanks. Thank you.
- Okay.
All right, everybody, uh,
Jasmine's just joking around.
This is one of Jasmine's
classic jokes.
- No.
I'm dead serious. No.
You need to pay me if you
want me to feed them better.
Which is why I happened
to bring my own delicious
salad from Crazy Salads.
I suggest you do the same.
Nobody has to order any food.
Oh yeah they do.
- We are stocked.
W're stocked with food here, OK?
- This is it.
For the whole production,
Jasmine's gonna be providing
food, it's gonna be fantastic.
As fantastic as... what...
what do we have
before us here?
- I don't even know.
If i's so fantastic you should eat it.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- I had a... I'm full now.
I'm full.
- Full?
From what?
We don't have crafty.
- We did't eat yet.
Well, I had pancakes.
Pancakes?
- I just loaded up on
pancakes, so I don't... I...
but you guys should...
this is lunch.
- No.
W're not having that.
- No, no.
Looking at this...
We're already behind
and it's the first day.
I don't think we're gonna
be able to make the week.
Alright.
What's the solution, man?
The solution is we get you
in a time machine
and you land in LA two weeks ago,
and we do meetings,
scouts, rehearsals, et cetera.
Alright.
What's the real solution?
I... you're gonna have to
give up the idea of
shooting this thing in order.
I agree. It doesn't
make any sense.
You know, w're moving lights
and camera from
the bedroom, the living room,
to the kitchen and back again.
I's just killing our days.
Alright. That's
a non-starter. All right?
This movie goes in order.
Alright?
No one's gonna be able to keep track of
where they are in the story if we just
shoot this thing willy-nilly.
What? These people
are professionals.
Most movies are shot this way.
Okay. You know what guys?
How about we do that?
And then we'll eat breakfast for lunch.
We'll have dinner...
for lunch.
And then w'll all sleep
during the day.
- Two lunches?
Yeah. I mean, this
isn't Pulp Fiction, Scorsese.
This movie goes in order.
No, no, no, no. The?
yes, the final cut
of the movie will be in order.
But we're talking about
like, shooting it in blocks.
Like shooting all the kitchen stuff,
then all the bedroom stuff,
then all the living room stuff.
And we may even wrap
early and save a few bucks.
Yeah. But then
it's all outta order.
Holy shit, man. No.
No we... you put everything
back together in the edit.
In the correct order.
Oh, okay.
So when I edit it,
I'm the one who has to do all the work.
Got it.
You're editing this?
[moody music]
Okay Phil, this is a huge
moment for your guy.
It's where you learn that
Toronto, where you're from,
has burned to the ground, okay?
Okay. And I'm... I'm
hearing it off the TV?
Exactly. So I'll be
the newscaster. Right?
You just react.
The more tears the better.
Yeah. I got this.
I think I can do that.
Okay. Picture's up.
You're watching the TV...
And...
[in a high-pitched voice]
Hello and welcome to the
Six 'clock News.
I am Becky. In sad news
today the city
of Toronto is burned to the ground
after a lot of people
decided to start fires there.
Why did they do it? The
earth is gonna be destroyed
and people are panicking.
They're... cut! Phil, what the
hell is going on, man?
You're not crying.
Your character's from Toronto.
I's just not working for me.
That voice that you're doing
is just not landing.
If you just stay quiet
I can just knock this one out.
Just let me do my thing.
Just say action. I'll go.
[laughing] Okay. Wow.
[sarcastically] Action.
Okay, this was better when I was talking
Just admit you ca't cry on cue.
- I can definitely cry on cue.
I'm professional.
[scoffing] Sure.
- Okay. Watch this.
[deep breathing]
Speeding.
If this is an act of God...
why would God allow this to happen?
Good. Now
keep that energy...
And instead of that
weird stuff you just said,
say what's in the script.
I can't believe Toronto's gone.
Drake died.
I can't believe Drake died.
Toronto's gone. I can't
believe Drake died.
Okay. Now it's"I can't believ"
for both those sentences.
So"I can't believe
Toronto's gone"
I can't believe"
Drake died"
I can't believe Toronto's gone.
I can't believe Drake died.
Alright, cut.
That was perfect.
Alright, hold for roomtone.
Tom, you're breathing like a tired dog.
Me?
- I can't hear the breathing,
but I can hear you talking.
Like a tired dog?
Yeah, you're breathing loud.
- Okay hands up, voices down.
Okay.
- Hands up voices down.
We'll try this.
- Oh, easy!
- Oh god.
[crickets chirping]
[faint movie dialogue from TV]
Hey, Devin, come here.
Pretty cool, right?
I read online that
Wes Anderson has his whole
cast live in a house.
Uh, but we're doing it
even cooler than him
because we're all living in
the house that we're shooting in.
So it's... well, the crew's in
a motel nearby, but yeah.
[oven timer beeping]
Hey guys, what's up?
[awkward silence]
That's the cast right there.
[Erica] Oh my god.
And, uh, yeah, we've been
having... oh my god, Erica,
this smells so good.
[chuckling]
Wow. You know, I think people
are getting pretty hungry.
Nobody touched their lunch.
- Terry can you please
give me some space?
I'm... I'm trying to cook
for many people,
and it is extremely stressful.
Please.
[Rodney Dangerfield voice]
Hey. Oh, hey. Must be
that time of the month!
I'm pregnant.
What, pregnant people do't get periods?
[whispering] Idiot.
You guys like Rodney Dangerfield?
[awkward silence]
You guys like Caddyshack?
Terry, can you please help me?
Can you do something?
I can't...
- Could you chop? Could you...
could you set the table?
Could you put the
plates and forks
and the napkins out, Terry?
Could you do something?
- No, I...
- Could you help me?
No I have...
- This is extremely stressful.
I have germs on my hands.
You have germs on your hands?
- Yeah, I have
germs on my hands.
Can you wash your hands?
- 'll wash'em.
Yeah 'll wash'em.
But there's no? soap?
[Erica sighing loudly] Come on.
- Don't, please.
Space.
Please.
- Alright.
[forks clinking on plates]
[quiet dinner jazz music]
So uh?
How much money does everybody make?
[quietly angry] Terry!
For a living.
Yeah, don't ask that!
- Okay.
How does everyone like the food?
- Mmm, so good.
My god, Erica, you did an
amazing job with this.
Really, really good.
Thank you so much.
I'm so glad you like it.
- Cheers.
Take it easy Garry.
That's my wife.
It's beautiful, Erica.
But I, I honestly, um, I'm not
eating nightshades right now,
which include eggplants
and, uh, tomatoes. So?
They contain lectins
and anyways?
- Dammit. God damnit.
Sorry. I knew we shouldn't
do lectins right now.
And I was talking about it and I said it
It's okay. It's okay.
Lectins are in eggplant
and tomato, right?
- Yeah.
I remember saying that.
I remember saying, no eggplant or tomato
There's so many lectins.
[whispering] No. What?
You didn't say that.
[whispering] No, I did.
[whispering] Okay. You... fine.
[whispering] I've been talking
about lectins all day.
- I's totally fine.
'm just gonna eat... salad.
So, Terry, uh... how did
you get into film-making?
So, um, so I was trading
these meme stocks.
And I didn't know what the
hell I was doing, you know,
and I was losing money like crazy.
Then I read about this
Paranormal Activity guy.
Did you guys hear about this guy?
He made that movie for like nothing.
And then he sold it
for like a bajillion dollars.
So I said, hey, raise some money.
Make a film, sell it for a fuckton.
- Cheers.
Phil, what about you?
What got you into acting?
[De Niro voice] You talki' to
me? You talki' to me?
Oh!
[laughter]
- Taxi!
I see what he did.
- Yeah. Yeah.
That's great.
What is that from?
I's just a movie I saw. I...
I studied the movie actually.
Like, a lot of my friends
got into musical theater,
but I thought that was boring
so I did"movie theater"
That's where... you learned a
lot of scenes from movies
in the'90s.
Hmm.
- I love nineties movies.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah a lot of my friends,
they're classically trained,
but... honestly,
I kind of think classical
theater is boring.
Yeah, i's...
- Oh wow.
Yeah, it's just too, it's too...
- [sarcastically] Interesting.
It's too simple, honestly.
It's like TOO simple.
Classical theater is simpler?
- Seems like Garry has a
different take on theater.
Oh no. I just, you know, I...
come from a theater background.
Well he did"you talki' to me"
can you give us
some Shakespeare?
[laughing] Oh no, no, you don't...
You guys don't wanna hear me do...
- No. Come on.
- Alright, fine. Fine, great.
Um, this was my audition piece.
[clearing throat]
To be... or not to be.
That... is the question.
Whether'tis nobler in the mind
to suffer the slings
and arrows of outrageous fortune...
or to take arms against a sea
of troubles, and by opposing...
End them.
Thank you.
That's... that's all.
Did you write that?
- Woo!
No, that's Hamlet.
William Shakespeare.
Oh, so you're not a writer?
- I've written a few
things, but...
But you didn't write that.
You didn't write that.
- No.
- [sarcastically] Cool.
No.
- [sarcastically] Great.
- So, um, what's for dessert?
[flirtatious laughing]
- What?
No, it was just like, a funny
thing to say right now.
You like funny guys?
- Maybe.
I know a joke.
- Okay, le's hear it.
Really?
- Yeah.
- Okay um...
Are you guys okay with
me telling this joke?
Of course!
- It's an old one, we used
to say this at dinner too.
[angrily] Is it appropriate?
- It's... yeah, yeah, yeah,
i's very appropriate.
I's, uh...
Two, two muffins are in an oven, right?
And one muffin turns to the other muffin
and he says,"Oh my god,
it's so hot in here"
And the other muffin turns and says,
[Terry talking over Garry]
Oh my god, a talking muffin"
[awkward silence]
Right? Was that it?
That's the punchline.
[upbeat music]
[birds chirping and pool water rippling]
[electric toothbrush buzzing]
Hey Garry...
what color is your toothbrush?
Purple. Oh, no, no, no. Orange.
Have you been using this toothbrush?
- Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the one. Why?
This is my toothbrush.
Oh, that's gross. We've been using the s
No, you've been using my toothbrush.
[laughing] Hey!
Whoa, dude. Maybe if you didn't steal my
maybe I wouldn't have used your toothbru
Dude, Terry gave me that line. Take it u
No, not taking it up with Terry.
You don't steal my lines and I won't use
So you're telling me you intentionally,
and maliciously used my toothbrush
because Terry gave me one of your lines?
Maybe?
[toothbrush hitting the floor]
You see this right? I can't work under t
That was a perfectly good toothbrush!
[buzzing]
Hey, what the hell happened last night?
What do you mean?
The cast, they're all stressed and upset
They're wondering what's gonna happen
with the movie after it's done.
Well, tell 'em not to worry.
I read online that these streamers are
buying like any completed movie.
I don't think that's true, dude.
Well, it is.
- No man.
I did this, uh, Rosemary's Baby found fo
Everyone thought it was gonna go big.
It's up on Vimeo for $5 rentals right no
Dude that's not gonna happen with this.
You need to be prepared for if it does.
I know I'm gonna get paid regardless.
But the cast is stressed, man. It's only
You gotta talk to'em.
Devin, cut this.
[You told me to film everything.]
Just put your hand in front of the camer
so I know to edit this out please?
- Oh, no.
You're editing the behind the scenes foo

All right, everybody. Hey everyone.
[Garry and Jenny whispering to each othe
I just wanna nip this in the butt cause
disrupting our workflow. Alright? Cool.
So it seems like some of you are concern
where the movie's gonna wind up.
Yes. Terry, I think I speak for all
of us when I say this thing has been a l
than we thought it was gonna be.
And since all of us are getting paid on
we just wanna make sure you have a real
plan for distribution.
'm sorry but Phil doesn't speak for me,
but I do agree with him.
I think a lot of us don't want this to b
of those found footage Rosemary's Baby t
It's not gonna be one found footage,
Rosemary, whatever that is.
It's not gonna be that. Alright,
we have a star attached to this.
Well, the Rosemary's Baby found footage
thing also had stars.
Did everybody see this movie?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
We all watched it last night together.
And you know what, maybe this would be a
to tell us who our star is gonna be.
Well, I can't do that because
that would ruin the big surprise.
Ooh you know what, what if we could get
Like, how, how many of you would just le
backend and trade that for your money up
Oh, 'm down.
- Yeah. I'd do that.
Guys, listen, I'm not having this conver
Okay? I'm not gonna give you money when
gonna give you MONEY, right?
So, um, everyone like watched a movie wi
Terry. Is there
A budget for this movie?
Yeah, I have financing in place,
but none of us should worry about that
'cause I'm very confident? it's gonna se
How do you know that?
Because it's got a lot going for it. It'
We have a great crew and we got the dive
I'm sorry, what? The diversity, what?
What the hell's the diversity angle, Ter
Well, you know, it's when a film is cast
it makes it an easier sell.
I'm sorry. Are you saying that you cast
us because of our race?
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, obviously. You know, I read onli
to be diverse these days or they're not
Wow. I just can't believe
that yo're actually saying that out loud
You guys know. When you turn on the TV y
all these interracial couples, right?
But how many interracial couples have I
What? - Holy shit. - I know a bunch of
interracial couples. - Well yeah you liv
So there's real reality, and ther's Holl
And this movie has to reflect that other
where, you know, people of color hang ou
or, you know, whatever Jenny is, which w
Whatever Jenny is?!
You're, you're racially ambiguous.
No, I'm not. My last name is Suzuki.
I'm 50% Italian.
Okay. - Terry, let's table this conversa
You know, I wish I wasn't white. Yeah, I
How could I be racist if as the director
I wish I wasn't white.
You guys, we could all agree that it's r
to get something sold as a white guy, ri
Wow. - Oh my god. - Absolutely not.
The ignorance. - And that's good, is wha
'm saying. You don't believe me?
Name a white director who's working righ
I bet you can't. - James Cameron.
PT Anderson. - Michael Moore. - Christop
Rob Zombie.
Ooh? Michael Moore!
Okay. Alright. Point taken.
But you know, this is a different time
and those guys are also established and
Terry. That's the dumbest
thing I've ever heard.
After years of systemic racism, people
of color are finally making a little bit
of progress in this business.
And you're saying they're taking white p
The little bit of diversity that you see
nearly as diverse as America really is.
You're mad at me 'cause I
cast you 'cause you're black and gay.
Is that why you cast me? Okay. I'm also
Does that make the movie better?
Chris? Is it good or bad to have a veter
Let's just wrap this meeting up dude.
It's not going the way you planned, I'm
Look, Phil, I didn't cast you
just 'cause you're black and gay.
And a veteran. - And a veteran.
I cast you 'cause you were the best blac
who sent me a self tape.
Guys this is Terry's first time
in LA maybe someone should just explain
why what he's saying is incredibly offen
It's not our job to educate him.
Thank you Jenny. Exactly.
You know, I wanted the movie to be more
I wanted to hire a disabled person.
Well I am disabled.
Really what's your disability?
I have PTSD.
Oh my god, that's great. From what?
Tha's none of your business.
I have PTSD too. - Well, yeah, I mean, o
Obviously? - Yo're a gay black veteran.
Yeah. You know, there's three reasons...
Hey. Sorry to interrupt? whatever this i

Okay well you need to handle this.
Well, looks like I gotta do everything m
Maybe I'll be the one who winds up with
Oh, ew.
Ugh.
What is that?
[wet plunging sounds]
Oh Jesus.
Bet you Zack Snyder never had to
plunge Mik's shit out of the toilet.
[peaceful music]
[lips smacking]
[birds chirping]
Hey man, what's up?
Hey, what's going on
man? How are you?
'm good. How are you?
- Good. What's this?
Oh, um, it's just a
behind the scenes thing
for the DVD.
- You're doing a DVD?
That's awesome.
- Yeah.
I feel like a lot of young
directors don't do that anymore
because it's old and insane.
And like no one will see it or hear it.
So I'm gonna be on a DVD?
Yeah. Is that okay?
Yeah.
- Okay.
That's Devin.
- Hey.
Oh, I'm the visual effects
supervisor here, I guess.
Um, I feel like all of
the sudden I have to...
Do...
- We can just pretend
they're not here.
I'm Rick, I'm the visual
effects supervisor here,
and I've got a little
something to show you here.
[both laughing]
Uh, these are a little rough,
but it'll give you the general idea,
and I think you're really gonna enjoy it
Wow. This is really cool. I've
never had to do this before.
I'm actually nervous.
- It's pretty fun, right?
Ready?
- Yep.
Okay!
This is nuts, watch this.
That's the meteor?
- That's the meteor.
Karrang!
And then obviously yo'll
put music over this,
so i'll be like:
[singing operatically]
Hum dah dum dah!
And then...
[singing and making
explosion sounds]
And then all the boats
explode. And then
watch this...
Why is there a boat here?
I was going for like a Master
and Commander vibe.
Who's that kid?
- That's not a kid.
That's an old man.
Okay. Now this one
is a little bit different,
but I think you're gonna
like this one just as much.
Now the meteo's coming
at night? A different one?
And then...
- What is that?
[making explosion sound]
Why is there a face?
It looks like a face but i's not a face.
I didn't know how to
remove it, so I left it.
What are the helicopters doing?
They're not fucking, but like
I wanted it to seem like
you did't know if the
helicopters were
fucking or fighting.
It's like a B-plot love story
between the helicopters.
Watch.
Wait, why is this boat back?
Rick? We don't need a boat.
Who's that?
- Watch?
That is a kid.
It's an old man.
It looks like a kid with a big beard.
A big grey beard.
- I's supposed to be an
old man. Are you ready?
[electronic music playing]
What the fuck is this?
What is this?
Rich, what is this?
It's an alien.
What is he... dancing?
- Mm-hmm.
Does the motion capture look familiar?
This is motion capture?
- Yeah I did motion
capture for this.
What is...
Why did you do this part?
Well, it was an alien...
- What is this part?
This one... is private actually.
This one is not
supposed to be...
What is this Rick?
- This is... you do't have to,
I just pressed pause.
So could you not touch my computer?
Well I just...
- This is a visual
effects computer, so
please don't touch it.
It's more expensive than
regular computers.
- Well, I wanna see
the sequence.
This is a sequence
that isn't for the film.
This is a sequence...
a different sequence, uh...
Did you use the money that
I gave you for this sequence?
No.
- You did't?
It's a different, it's a
different project. This is...
And this was a MoCap suit as well?
This was you?
No?
- But you said the other part
was the MoCap suit Rick.
I... do you... what do you
think of it? First of all.
Do you think...
- It's really weird.
I's really strange.
Okay well you don't have to
use it for the movie, but, uh...
Yeah 'm not gonna use any
alien for the movie.
I thought you've done this
before. I thought you were
a professional.
I am a professional.
I... I'm drinking coffee.
When? Who have
you done this for?
Uh... Z Lanes, uh,
Pit Stop Lanes,
Buck-Buc's Bowling Extravaganza.
Uh..."Lane" with a"z"
Okay. Those are all
off-brand bowling alleys?
So what?
- Rick, you work for
off-brand bowling alleys?
Why are you yelling at me?
- Why am I yelling at you?
I's not illegal to work
for a bowling alley.
I paid you $20,000 to do this, Rick.
I know.
- And I'm getting an
alien who's stripping
and a kid with a beard on a ship.
Well like I said, this
was part of my file,
that's not, I didn't press the...
[keyboard snapping]
Ow!
[keyboard snapping again]
Ow!
I'm sorry. Did I hit your knee?
I'm fine. I'm more concerned
about you to be honest.
That was so weird.
That was SO weird.
- That was weird.
Sorry about that, Rick.
Okay, I'm really looking
forward to seeing V2.
Nice.
- Alright.
- Awesome.
DVDs! Still a thing.
[intriguing music]
[laughing and flirting]
Terry, did you touch this?
- Yeah!
Yeah?
- Yeah.
Don't do that.
I have this preset, man.
What do you mean don't
touch it? I'm just learning.
Okay. You can touch
the camera if I'm here.
Just ask me a question. I'm more
than happy to help you, okay?
- Okay.
So if you're not here,
what shouldn't I touch?
Everything.
Don't touch anything.
That's not realistic.
Alright?
It is TOTALLY realistic to...
- 'm GOING to touch it.
I'm gonna touch...
- Okay yeah go ahead. Touch
whatever you want then.
Okay.
- Okay.
Did you get the shot list I sent you?
Not yet.
- Terry!
You said you needed it ASAP yesterday.
I was up all night
making this thing, man.
I can look at it now.
You can get it... OK yeah.
- I can look at it now.
- There it is. Yeah sure.
Oh man. This is
perfect. Thanks, man.
You didn't even look at it.
You just glanced at it.
- It looks REALLY good.
What do you mean it"looks"
I just wanna make sure
you're reading the words.
What is this?
What is this?
That's just like, um,
I thought it'd be cool
to have like a top-down
shot over the bed.
How do we do that?
- Oh, I talked to Mike already.
We're just gonna cut a
hole in the ceiling. Right?
We just kind of put the camera up there
and mount it to a support beam.
Cut? No, I can't do that.
- Why not?
- I don't own the house.
I don't own this house. We
can't saw a hole in the ceiling.
Okay. Terry, what
do you wanna do then?
I wanna shoot it on this thing.
What is THAT?
Are you guys sawing stuff already?
- No!
Wha's that drywall then?
It's nothing.
- Okay.
Yeah, that's just
for something else.
- Fine!
I don't want anything
to do with this.
- What's up, Terry?
Mike, what's up?
- Hey.
[pretending to laugh]
[whispering]
We gotta put it back.
We gotta put everything back.
[quietly groaning]
Where should I saw then?
Nowhere.
We can't saw anywhere.
He said we can't saw anywhere.
[Mike sighing]
He said we can't saw anywhere or...
YO'RE saying we can't saw anywhere?
Mike, what are you talking...
who cares?!
Just put it back please.
- Okay.
I's just, I know Terry.
It's just, it's not something
he would say. So.
He JUST said it, Mike.
- Okay.
- He just said it.
That's all I'm saying.
I know the guy.
[Mike sighing loudly]
I do't... you dont...
you JUST met him. Okay.
I think I'm falling in love
with you. This is crazy.
No, no. I...
I think I'm falling in love with you too
[uplifting cinematic score]
[both laughing joyfully]
Cut.
- CUT!
Jesus, man, would you stop
screaming everything
I say in my ear?!
Sorry that's my job.
We literally discussed this.
[Terry exhaling loudly]
Alright. I'm cutting this kiss.
What? Wait, why, why, why?
That's a... that's such
a HUGE moment.
- Yeah.
I just feel like you know,
the chemistry's off.
From now on no more chemistry
between you guys. Sorry.
It's just not reading.
- I feel like our chemistry
is really good!
Do't you?
- Yeah.
Chemistry wasn't off when you
had us do a chemistry read.
Right?
- Talk about it!
I know, but look at...
when you look at it here...
It looks like...
- Oh! We look cute together.
No, no, no, no, no.
- Terry, we really gotta keep moving.
Okay. Wait, wait, wait.
He... he has been talking
about taking control
of his life this entire time,
cause of the meteor and...
Mm-hmm.
- And all that.
And this is the moment
where he actually DOES
something about it.
So why are we cutting that?
Yeah. We literally just said:
I think I'm falling"
in love with you"
- Yeah.
You know what?
Good point, Jenny.
I think we cut the"I love yo" lines.
WHAT?! Why are
we on the bed then?
Yeah. Are't... we're like
the central love story
of the whole thing?
Why don't we do one
where the meteor knocks
Gary on the bed
and Jenny hates it?
Wait, what?
We really gotta move on.
Actually, I could use one more.
There was some boom shadow in there.
Yeah well maybe do't
move the camera without
telling me first?
Okay, Nate.
[whispering] Christ.
Hey man. How's everything
uh, sounding by the way?
I mean, it sounds fine.
On a technical level.
Fine.
Le's get you guys away from each other
and we're gonna, um,
did you say you need...
Ooh! You hear the leaf blower?
Everyone, leaf blower.
- Do't hear it.
- You know what, let's come
back to the scene later.
We gotta wrap this.
- I ca't even hear
that in here.
So w're fine.
We can keep moving.
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna
adjust that flag.
W're gonna need props to come in.
You got dirt on the sheets.
- Yeah.
Look, I'll just go talk
to the leaf blower guy.
I'll, I'll get him to stop.
Don't worry about it.
Boss, I hear you man, if the
vibe's off, you know
what I mean?
Thanks Mike.
- What can you do?
[everyone talking at once]
It sounds fine.
Why is no one even
listening to me? I listen to
everyone all day.
And then no one listens to me.
Tha's literally your job.
Okay. If you keep
talking to me like that,
then I guarantee no one's gonna
hear anything you say
the rest of the movie.
Whoa, whoa!
- Is that a threat?
Hey what are you doing, man?
- No that was a, it was
a joke, I was joking.
Alright great so we all
agree the chemistry's off.
We're not gonna shoot this.
[cheerful music]
I mean, our country
needs healthcare reform.
- Mm hmm.
Like, okay, take me for example.
Besides my PTSD,
I'm a really healthy person.
You know, I obviously
take care of myself.
Now, is it fair then
that the dues I pay into a
healthcare system go towards
someone else's healthcare bills?
Yeah. I couldn't have
said it better myself.
Right?
- Yeah.
Really? You agree with that?
- Yeah.
I just think that we
should have two different
healthcare funds.
You know, one for the
healthy, attractive actors
and the other one for the fat sick ones.
That's, that's not how things
work. You know that, right?
Yeah, I know. That's
not how it works.
I'm saying that's how it should work.
No, the healthcare
fund can't just be full
of sick people, then it will go bankrupt
Well then maybe they would
finally learn their lesson
and say, oh, we don't have enough
money to take care of ourselves.
Maybe we should try a diet or something?
You know what?
I agree with everyone.
You can't agree with both...
You know what? Never mind.
You know what I think
we can all agree on is
that this country likes to
punish attractive people.
It really does.
- You can stop arguing.
Terry nailed it.
You're both right.
Hope I'm not interrupting anything!
Russel!
- Had to come and see
my favorite client!
Hey guys this is my agent Russel.
Oh my god!
[screaming and glass breaking]
Holy shit!
- Somebody call 911!
Call an ambulance...
April Fool!
[both laughing]
You're not getting rid of me that fast.
This is my guy. This is
my ticket out of the Valley!
Oh shit I made a mess.
- You did.
Sweetie could you get this too?
Yes. Yes I... yes I can.
Sure.
- Erica, make sure you get
all that glass.
So there we were on the the back deck
of this old steam ship.
It was just me and Marj Dusay.
Oh yeah. Lemme tell
you something.
That lady had the creamiest
legs you ever laid eyes on.
I mean, creamy legs.
Back then you could say that
to a broad and she'd say,
Thank you"
Not anymore.
[laughing to himself]
Where was I? Oh yeah,
creamy legs.
[sighing] Back then...
[whispering] Back then
an agency had perks. Perks.
[whispering] Jesus Christ
I was knee-deep in pus...
Okay! Uh, everybody,
we gotta shoot now.
Hey, don't let me distract you.
I just came here to
support my favorite client.
Look at that face.
You picked a winner!
This kid is gonna
be huge. Huge!
You can tell, you can feel it.
You know?
I once represented Roland Gunson.
And we all knew that he
was gonna bust out really big.
Oh yeah.
He never did. But you could
tell, you know, you could tell.
[laughing to himself]
He had... he had... size...
he had...
That was it. He had size.
Okay, everyone, we
gotta shoot right Chris?
I don't give a shit.
Wow. I can't believe it.
In one hour,
everything we love is gonna be gone.
Everything. Shakespeare,
the Beatles,
the World Wide Web?
gone.
We can't think like that.
We have to live for right now.
What we have right now.
[uplifting music]
And right now we
still have those things.
Shakespeare, the
World Wide Web, all of it.
There's gotta be something
we can do, isn't there?
Something we can do about
a Texas-sized meteor about to
crash into our coastline?
Don't be dumb.
Maybe we could leave.
[snoring sounds]
Get in the car and just?
[snoring sounds]
Uh, just?
[whispering]
Is sound picking that up?
[loud snoring]
One second.
Oh yeah.
Yeah. Big time.
[annoyed] Cut.
- Cut! Tha's a cut!
Are you making a mayonnaise sandwich?
Uh, so far yeah.
I might throw
some chips on here too.
For texture.
Dude, I just don't get it.
If this thing has financing,
why are we eating?
this.
- Bro I have no clue.
Every time I try to
talk to Terry about it,
he won't even let me see a budget.
Are your checks clearing?
- Checks?!
I'm getting an envelope full of cash
with my name on it in my car.
Jesus.
Hey Jasmine. Uh, great work.
The food is top notch.
Thanks babe.
Thank you.
She said"bab" right?
Yeah. She said babe.
Whew, 'm gonna have to?
nip that in the butt.
I can't believe you've never
been in anything before.
You're, you're just a
natural. You're a natural.
That's very nice
of you to say.
- Yeah.
You, I didn't even think I'd be able
to memorize the lines.
- Listen,
if you, if you ever think
about getting an agent?
I think you and I would be a great fit.
No, I, I'm serious.
I'm serious.
Hey, ask around, I got a
great reputation as a negotiator.
I'm a shark.
[cell phone ringing]
Oh, I gotta take this.
Excuse me.
Carla! How
are you, darling?
So we got an offer or
what? Oh, good!
[faintly] $200 a day.
- Hey, come on.
I can't ask man to
work for scale. Come on.
I know it's in indie,
but there's gotta be a little
wiggle room somewhere!
No, huh?
[sighing] Yeah do't worry.
'll get him to do it.
Send me the details.
Yeah. Bye Carla.
Shit.
Hey Ter.
W-what are you looking at?
[quietly] Huh?
Nothing. I was just thinking
1, 2, 3, 4?
five!
[Terry groaning in agony]
Come on!
[choking] Oh! Help!
Erica! Erica!
[birds chirping]
Hey.
Hey.
Everything okay? You seem
more... stressed than usual.
'm fine.
Okay. Can you at
least talk to me?
Okay. What do you
wanna talk about?
I don't know. I just, I?
I kind of feel like I have been
doing my best to help you,
you know, live
your dreams. Right?
First it was the day trading,
then it was the concert
promoting stuff.
Then it was making a movie.
And you're here, you're doing it.
We are in Los Angeles making a movie
and you just seem absolutely miserable.
No, I'm... I'm having fun.
I don't think you are.
- I am having fun.
This is what fun looks like for me.
Every day is more fun than the last.
And these guys on set,
you know, w're friends,
we're buddies, we razz each other.
They're like,"Terry,
you're so far behind"
Chris is always saying
that I'm late, you know,
and Tom called me a fuck face, and...
That's mean. That's a
mean thing to say.
No, the way Tom said it...
it was like, a brother.
Okay.
- You know?
- Yeah.
I'm just saying, this is a blast.
Anyways, I just, I don't...
- Alright, fine!
yeah it's more stressful than
I thought it would be.
But that's normal, right?
Like, it's not the process
that anybody likes.
It's the awards, the
premieres, the parties.
It's not the present. It's the future.
The future's gonna be the good stuff.
Okay. Um, I think...
I think a lot of people like the process
Well, so you don't think
we should be in Los Angeles?
No! I... I did
NOT say that.
I just think that you
keep moving the bar.
Well, it's kind of true,
you know, to be...
a player in the entertainment industry,
you don't really have to be
located in Los Angeles anymore.
You could be anywhere.
- Great!
'Cause our families are in Iowa.
And maybe after all this wraps up,
we can just go back there.
Nooo! I mean, like, PEOPLE don't
need to be in Los Angeles.
Directors do.
Okay. Why did you
bring that up then?
Because you don't like my body.
What?
- Yeah. You think that
I'm in LA now,
I don't have this LA
body type. Right!
That I should go back to Iowa.
Like I should join the gym or something.
I mean... no! I, I think I'm all
for you being healthy...
Of course.
- There it is, you hate my body.
What?!
- And that's exactly
why I brought it up.
This conversation is over.
We're staying in Los Angeles.
[jovial music]
Okay. I think we can all agree,
the vibe felt pretty weird the other day
So I think I came up
with the perfect solution.
[groaning]
Okay?
You didn't tell him
there's gonna be steps.
Wh's this?
I'm Brett.
- Who is Brett?
[laughing incredulously]
Brett.
That's Brett.
- Hi Brett.
- No, I mean I know he's Brett.
I'm saying like, what are you doing HERE
Oh, got it. I am Brett.
B-R-E, double T.
Intimacy coordinator.
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
- Brett don't joke around.
[laughing] Alright?
I know what you're thinking.
Oh. oh, but he's a guy.
[laughing] Yes. Right. Exactly.
I found out almost
NO men worked this job,
so I sued SAG-AFTRA to get it.
Now...
Who's porking?
[loud clap]
- Whoa.
Wow.
- No one. No one is"porking"
[laughing] Not yet.
[laughing] Yo're bad!
Okay. Brett's just here
to make sure,
you know, everyone feels comfortable.
We wouldn't want any
Me Too situation happening
on set Garry.
What?
- Exactly. Because if
another one does happen,
I'm out of the union.
So you've been in trouble
before for that kind of thing?
No, I have been"convicte" in
an"arbitration proceedin"
for"turning a blind ey" to
repeated and unrepentant"
sexual harassment on set"
Hey, the EPK crew. Huh?
I gotta sign something?
We hanging it out later?
[snorting sounds]
Okay guys, now everyone's
feeling a little safer,
I say we shoot.
- Yeah le's, lets do it.
Yeah, let's just, yeah.
Real safe.
[Mike clearing his throat]
Untitled Meteor Movie,
scene 15A take one.
[film slate clapping]
[Garry and Jenny flirting]
Speed. Action.
Okay.
I think 'm...
falling in love with you.
I think I'm falling in love with you too
[uplifting cinematic music]
Okay can we hold for one second?
- Whoa!
Yes, yeah, of course.
- Just a second.
I don't mean to give
you a line read here,
but I thought maybe at
this point, before the kiss,
you could say,"Hey babe,
what do you say we.."
slap nasties"
What?!
- Yeah. Not, not, not
saying that. Not doing it.
No lines, no lines. You don't
want a line read. I hear ya.
So maybe you can sort of inch...
your hand out towards her collar.
I don't think she...
- To sort of suggest,
that maybe,
things are gonna get a little rough?
I honestly, I was feeling
a lot more comfortable
before uh, you started intervening.
Yeah, me too. I felt so...
- Oh!
Ah ah ah ah,"Me Too"
He said it!
Really? Really?
[laughing maniacally]
Not it!
How much are we paying
this guy Terry?
- I did't know he was going to
be like this. Alright, how
about we do another one
and Brett, you just tone
it down about 100%?
- Okay!
Mm hmm.
- Alright. Alright.
- Cool.
You don't need to take it
personally, it's just...
- I do't take it personally.
i'm a professional.
Okay. Okay.
Lady, I'm doing this for you.
- Lady?!
I'm doing this to keep you
comfortable and happy.
I don't feel comfortable around you.
For the record.
Here it is!
- Your energy needs
to change Brett.
'm sorry, your energy...
- My energy needs to change?!
Yes, your energy needs to change and
I'll fucking change it.
- Oh, you're gonna
change my energy?
Oh yeah, 'll change it!
[total chaos]
Alright Terry, that was a lot of fun.
Hey, you paid for the day.
You sure don't want me to
hang around a couple more hours?
Nope. Definitely sure.
That was the only intimate scene
so thank you very much.
- Yeah, well, you know,
it's not really your job to
determine wha's
intimate or not.
Okay. You take cash?
- Yeah of course.
Cash is king, baby.
Ooh, Garry.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Uh, yeah!
See you Garry.
- Ha ha ha alright we'll see ya!
I told him to leave.
- Yeah.
What would you say if I
asked you... your character,
to gain like 50 or 60
pounds for this role?
You want me to get fat?
I mean you know how we
talked about like the meteor
being liberating and stuff?
- Y... yeah? Yeah.
Why would your guy be so ripped?
You know, would you keep going
to the gym if you
knew you were gonna die?
I mean, okay? I mean,
I, I, I... okay.
I, yeah, that, that's gonna
be kind of hard with the,
you know, stuff that you're
giving over at crafty but...
Yeah, I can, I can do it.
It's totally fine.
This is a serious discussion.
[festive music]
I don't know. I, I think
that the only
thing I can do is just
try to get this guy fat.
Terry, what does that have
to do with what I just asked you?
What's good for the movie
is good for the baby.
How is Gary being fat good for our baby?
Because it's good for our movie.
Does this have something
to do with the weird
body dysmorphia thing that
you mentioned the other day?
This has nothing to do with my body.
Yeah, no. Like you tried to
work out to compete with Gary
and you realized it was
too hard, and now...
you're just trying to make him fat.
Uh, why are we talking about this?
Terry? Because I
just asked you
what we were gonna do if this
baby comes before the movie
is done shooting.
And you for some reason
brought up making Gary fat.
And you for some reason are
mad that Gary might get fat.
I am not mad. Okay? I am...
I'm, I'm frustrated. Okay?
I'm frustrated that I'm
talking about our baby
and you are talking about
the whole Gary thing.
And, and, and Devin is, Devin
is here. I'm sorry Devin.
No offense.
- Just pretend 'm not here.
[Erica sighing] I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to yell at you.
- [Devin whispering] Sorry.
Sounds like somebody needs
an intimacy coordinator.
What the fuck are you doing
here? I thought you left.
I left my iPad. And I
wanted to say goodbye.
It was great chatting with you.
So good to chat with you.
Really, god bless that little baby.
Aw!
- These are the best
years of your life.
Just treasure every
moment alright?
- Thank you.
What the fuck is going on?!
You guys know each other or something?
We had a coffee at craft service!
Yeah. Terry.
I have conversations.
You... need... a bath.
- Thank you Brett! Thank you!
Seriously. I came
up here to say...
I have family in Toronto
and that scene was...
incredibly moving.
Oh, thanks.
- Yeah. Okay. Thank you.
How much did that guy cost?
Why is everybody asking me that?
Because I know you're
really worried about money.
Shhh! Don't say that
out loud.
Well, it's pretty apparent.
Look, I've got a solution
to the money problems.
Don't worry about it.
Okay Erica, during this
scene, I want you to hold
this Diet Coke.
Have that logo facing
the camera. Alright?
Garry, during this scene,
you're gonna be just
going to town on that cake.
What?
- I said during this scene,
you're gonna be going
to town on that cake.
- Alright.
Perfect.
- Yeah.
- Alright.
[helicopter noise]
Nate, can we hear this
helicopter at all?
[helicopter noise]
No, not at all.
Good to keep moving.
Okay, i's not picking it up?
- No, not... not at all.
You're not picking up this chopper?
Can't, can't hear a
thing in my headphones.
Alright, we are behind, we
are shooting with the chopper.
It adds value. Let's go.
I ca't hear my cues though.
W're doing this one
with the chopper.
- Okay!
We'll do another one
later without the chopper.
We'll see which one is better.
- Should I yell?
- Yeah. Yell.
Everyone's gonna be
yelling over the chopper
for this one, okay?
[everyone] Yeah, okay!
- Okay here we go.
Rolling, and...
Here we go, yell over
the chopper. And action.
[yelling over loud helicopter]
I can tell something's wrong!
Little louder Phil!
I can tell
somethin's wrong!
No shit, something's wrong!
I've wasted my entire life!
Aw, come on. That's not true.
Alright, let's bring the Coke can up
into frame a little bit more.
Perfect.
No, it, it is true.
It is true. Okay?
I've spent my entire life too afraid
to follow any of my dreams.
[crying] And this meteor's coming
and now I won't ever,
I won't make anything of...
I won't make anything of myself.
[sobbing and helicopter noise]
[dramatic movie music]
Okay cut!
And we'll do the dance sequence later.
Now let's do one with these potato chips
Alright get that label right.
Garry, absolutely perfect.
What?
- Looks absolutely perfect.
- Okay.
Keep... you can even add some,
you know,"mmm, yummy"
Mmm this is good" Okay."
- Exactly right.
- Cool.
Alright, here we go.
And we're still rolling.
Action!
[helicopter sounds]
Mmmmm mmmm.
And I listened to them.
- Yeah.
For what?
- Mmmmmm.
Great! Okay now w're
gonna do another one
with a different product!
Erica now you hold this one!
Atta girl!
And I listened to them!
For what?!
Why am I holding a sponge?
Don't call it a sponge!
I's... called"The Original Scrub
Mommy flex texture scrubber"
If you can fit that in, great.
- Okay.
Chopper's gone. Is that okay?
- Yeah.
Again, let's just get through this.
We have to go get insulin for Garry.
Yeah. Yeah. This
is getting intense.
So good. I got some
hilarious pictures of Garry.
Hey!
Hey!
- Who are you?
I'm Toby. I'm the owner of the
house. What is all this shit?!
Oh... it's not...
[friendly] Hey!
What... the... hell!
What? Why are
you filming me?
[Garry] Oh my god.
You're shooting a porno in my kitchen?!
No.
And you got a hole
in my wall? Why?
Why?
- Hey!
That is not Terr's fault okay?
If you wanna blame anyone, blame me
and my stupid fucking ass.
Fuck. Terry. I'm so sorry, dude.
It's cool. Everyone
calm down.
Hey, no one's shooting a porno in here.
Okay. Well you still all have
to get outta here now, okay?
Right now.
- [everyone] Okay.
No, no, no, no!
Guys, guys.
I think we can come to some
type of agreement, alright?
No! No, we can't come
to an agreement.
You've all gotta be outta here
before my girlfriend
gets back from her audition.
Or she is gonna flip
her shit if she sees all this.
No coasters?! What
is wrong with you?!
- 'm sorry.
Oh my god.
- 'll get those out of the way.
Oh I suppose you three are
the ones gonna have an
orgy on my antique kitchen table.
No, no, no, no, no. There's
no orgy being shot here.
Ha, yeah, not anymore there's not.
What are you all
still doing here?!
Toby! We have a
proposition for you.
Okay. What?!
Could you just step
over here for a minute?
[Toby sighing loudly]
W're all mad about this.
Alright crew, take five!
We'll be right back.
- Do't touch me.
- Sorry.
We are prepared to offer your
girlfriend a role in a film.
What?
- Well, you said
she was at an audition.
So I'm assuming she's an actress?
I mean...
she wants to be.
Perfect. W're gonna
put her in a movie.
You don't even know if she can act.
It does not matter.
Can she?
Hell if I know.
I's fine. You know, well
find a place for her.
You just have to let us keep shooting.
W're almost finished.
I don't know? I mean?
Why are there holes in the walls?!
I'll take care of that.
[whispering] What is that gu's deal?
I'm gonna fire that guy.
Alright? He creeps us all out.
I don't know why he
put the holes in the walls?
[under his breath] Alright.
Honey.
Hey, do you want to be in a movie?
I, I don't know what it's about.
What's it about?
It's about a space meteor.
It's about a space meteor.
Okay, well, well come
on home then. Alright.
[sighing] Sure. She'll do it.
It's fictional by the way.
Good news, bitches.
So, you know that guy
who just yelled at us?
His girlfriend is gonna play
Jenny's sister in the movie.
What? How's that
gonna work?
Well your girl is gonna have a sister.
Yeah we've already established that
my character is an only child.
I had that whole monologue about feeling
alone in the world.
because I'm an only child.
Like, what?
And we have no idea what
Toby's girlfriend looks like.
Her age, her height, you know?
Okay. So she can't play
Jenny's sister. Good point.
Is he? having a stroke?
- Oh no. He's? thinking.
This happened at Chipotle the other day.
Eventually I just had to
order barbacoa for him.
[clapping] Ter?
- I got it.
Chris.
I need you to run to
Spirit Halloween. I got it.
I? I don't think he got it
I don't think he got it.
Spirit Halloween?
I's like fucking April.
Where is he going?
- I got it!
You are gonna run
into the couch if you?
keep walking like that.
[dramatic music] The mail is here!
Okay, let's cut.
- Okay.
Alright. Let's go again.
That was great.
Thank you.
Uh, this time just don't look
directly into the? lens.
Okay? Got it. Yes!
Lens is a big no-no spot.
[laughing] Okay. Oooh!
Um, I'm ready.
Let's do this.
Resetting, back to one.
[whispering] This does't
make any sense. Why would
she still be delivering mail
when a meteor's coming?
I have so many questions.
And action.
[dramatic music]
Hey, it's time for mail why don't you.
Cut? It was great.
But you were looking in the
lens almost the whole time that time.
It's like, it's just, can it be
a part of the character?
Okay. How about we do one
where you DO stare at the camera,
but we just pretend it's right here?
Can you pretend the camera's here?
Wow. You guys are
stretching me. Okay.
You're the last mailman alive.
Okay.
- No lens. And action.
[in a bizarre deep voice]
Mail is here.
[Garry] Oh God.
- I love my job delivering mail.
Okay, I think we got it.
Okay.
- That's the one.
Thank you both so much.
And Darby, excellent work today.
Thank you. It? was a blast.
[laughing]
So, uh, how should we handle payment?
Payment?
- Yeah. Darb's SAG.
Yeah.
[laughing]
Well see this isn't a SAG picture.
This is more of a?
micro budget.
Ooh. That might
be a problem.
Yeah, we do not want her getting into
any trouble with the union.
How much is SAG minimum?
Like 5,000?
- Two hundred bucks.
Really?
- Yeah.
That's low. Ohh?
Alright. Well we've?
we've got a dinner.
You can just mail us
a check. Alright.
Where to?
To here. Our house.
Yo're shooting in our house.
Alright. Come on babe.
Bye.
- Is she looking
in the lens again?
[Darby whispering] God tha's low.
Hey guys, I got some AMAZING news.
Russel just called me.
I booked a movie.
[everyone cheering]
Way to go bro!
Whaaaat?
- Tha's amazing!
Wow!
- Yes! Congratulations!
That's awesome.
- Thanks bro, appreciate it.
Good work.
- Hey uh? this IS a movie.
This is a movie.
Uh, yeah. No, no. But
like a? like a real one.
Yeah!
- Gettin paaaid!
Alright when does it shoot?
When does it shoot?
Uh, yeah see that's, that's
kind of the? the issue.
Uh, they need me?
in five days.
Five days?
- Yeah.
- Absolutely not, man.
Terry! H's got like
four scenes left.
We could shoot him
out tonight if we had to.
I'm not shooting out of order!
How many times do
we have to go over this?
W've already shot out of order.
W've been shooting a
bunch of stuff out of order.
Yeah, but then it goes
back in order in the edit,
and everybody knows that.
- Exactly. So shoot him out.
Dude, you signed a contract.
Dude we were supposed to wrap AGES ago.
And w're not. Okay?
And I just stuck my neck
out for the film for a place
to shoot by putting Darby in it.
And you're just gonna bail on us?
Okay wait wait. Let me? let me
ask you a serious question.
Do you have a problem with me?
No.
- No? You don't?
Cause it feels like it. Yo've
been riding me since day one.
Bullshit
- Bullshit?
- Bullshit.
You know what funny
enough, I didn't even want
to do this film in the first place.
Russel's not really bringing in much wor
and it's not much going on out there
so I was like, you
know what? Fine.
Let me just go ahead
and do this nice
little indie project.
See what might come
of it. You know?
- Exactly.
Yeah. But that's
not gonna happen.
Because we're not gonna
finish this fucking movie.
Alright? The script was
incoherent when we all first
read it, and now it was just
some fucking metaphor
for your wife being pregnant.
This movie's about a meteor.
Stop psychoanalyzing me, idiot.
Yeah.
- I'm not an idiot.
You're an idiot.
Oh you wanna go?
- [Erica] Terry. Terry!
- You wanna do this?
[Erica] No!
[everyone shouting]
You really wanna do this?
- [Phil] Do't, come on yall.
Chill!
- [Chris] No, no, no, no.
[everyone screaming]
Jesus. Get off.
- No, no!
- Get off me, dude.
Should we break this up?
- No.
I think i's time Terry learned a lesson.
Oh, you made a mistake
by pinning me.
- Oh, I did?
Yeah 'cause I'm
gonna flip it on you.
- Oh, good luck. Try.
'm gonna flip it.
- Try.
This is't about the movie
Devin, you can just cut on this.
- Keep going Devin.
Keep going.
- Don't listen to Garry.
H's not the director. Okay?
Are you done?
- I'm done.
Are you calm?
- I'm calm.
- Take a breath.
'm calm.
I'm calm. Okay i's a draw.
Ai't no fucking draw.
Get up.
[Garry] I'm sorry guys.
Jesus.
- I'm cool.
You son of a bitch?
[everyone screaming again]
[Terry] Ahhhh not again!
- [Garry] Yeah, again.
[crickets chirping]
- Hey man. Wha're you gonna
do now that Garry left?
Devin. No, Devin.
Not right now.
Oh good.
There you are. Uh?
We should probably talk about what you
wanna do now that Garry left.
No.
Everythin's fine.
Okay. Well, this is probably
not as important,
but Mike left too.
I think he felt some
guilt about all the sawing?
He wanted me to give you this.
Alright, well, see you tomorrow.
[somber music]
Give it a rest.
You're having your baby.
I'm having my baby.
- This? This baby is YOUR baby.
Alright exactly. Then I'm having
two babies. Alright?
I need you to back me up on this stuff.
Support me like I'm supporting you.
This entire fight is about
you not supporting me.
Well, isn't it interesting
that now it's about YOU
not supporting ME.
No. It's not interesting.
Everything's fucking
riding on this movie.
You don't think I know
that? All of our savings.
The money from my parents, our friends?
Terry, yo're the one
that's messing this all up.
How am I messing this up?
I?
[laughing]
I can't believe I even have to say it.
Okay your crew hates you.
The cast can't stand you.
Garry walked.
God, Terry, i's like I don't even
recognize you at all anymore.
I do't want people to
recognize me anymore.
Alright? They don't
give blockbuster
franchises to nobodies from Iowa.
Well, I like that nobody from Iowa.
Yeah, you would, yo're from there.
So are you!
Keep your voice down.
- Okay. Goddamnit, Terry.
I am not an idiot. Alright?
I know you've got a
thing for Jenny. Okay?
Pssh, Jenny? What?
She's ugly.
You know what? It doesn't
even matter anymore.
Because?
Her and Garry have been
sleeping together all week.
What?
- Don't mess with me. Alright?
'm serious.
I only love you.
How do you know the've been fucking?
Oh, okay.
I am, I'm, I'm honestly,
I'm past the point
of giving a shit about you and me.
You need to make this movie work.
For the baby, okay? That
means stop hitting on your
lead actress. That means
listening to your crew!
And that means keeping
your weird racial opinions
to yourself and getting
this movie finished.
You need to find a solution for Garry.
Tonight!
You have gotta
be kidding me!
- [Devin] Sorry, sorry, sorry!
[pensive music]
If it's good enough for James Cameron,
i's good enough for us.
Ladies and gentlemen?
meet the new Garry.
Oh my god.
- Terry, that isn't gonna work.
Oh, it's gonna work.
Rick?
What's up, guys?
- Who's this now?
[Tom] Holy shit.
Rick?
- [Rick] Oh fuck.
Tom?
Why is this asshole here?
- Do you guys know each other?
Know each other?! This freaking
penny dick owes me $500.
We used to be roommates.
I don't have a penny dick.
I do't even know what that means.
Yeah."Roommates" Roommates
pay rent. They're on the lease.
You know what, Terry? You can go
ahead and just gimme his check.
You're not getting a
dime from me, buddy!
- Oh yeah?
No!
- You're not gonna get... okay.
Well then 'm not gonna
push the record button.
How do you feel about that?
- I don't care.
- Okay, great.
Guys, this does't have
anything to do with the film.
Yes. Now it does.
Now it does.
- Why does it now?
I'm not playing...
- Give me his check!
Give me his check
'cause he totaled my bike.
I didn't... You took pictures.
You put 'em all online.
You said it was my fault.
We all saw the pictures.
Someone needs to reimburse
me for my totaled bicycle!
Did you get it fixed?
[taunting] Noooo! You
ca't fix a totaled bike!
I don't like your fucking tone.
'm not a child.
- Did you buy a new bike?
Yeah, I got a new bike.
- Wow.
- It's beautiful.
And it's not totaled.
- Oh, great.
- It works.
[clapping] Good job.
- And I'm a man on it.
Yeah, I'm sure you are.
What color is it?
Green.
In all the right places, pal.
That's my favorite color. Okay.
I know it's your favorite color.
- Yeah.
I got you that green
sweater for Christmas.
I still wear it.
- I miss living with you.
- I know.
Fuck, man!
- Where are you living now?
Pasadena!
- Me too.
- Shut up.
Wha's your rent?
- My rent's insanely high.
- Me too, man.
I's crazy. It's hard
to deal with expenses.
- I's like $2700.
Are you kidding me?
- No. We were paying what?
$1900.
- And we were splitting it.
And we were having a blast
and at night we had
someone to talk to.
We really should get to
shooting something, Terry.
And not your fucking Swiffer.
Rick's gonna make it work.
No. You... you fire him.
You fire him.
- No.
Fire him.
- That's a dumb idea.
- I, we can't work together.
Don't listen to him.
- Guys, we got a movie to shoot!
Okay, well I'm not moving a muscle
until you fire this asshole.
Same. I'm not moving a muscle
until you fire this asshole.
Okay, Rick's fired.
- Fuck.
Really?
- Alright, yeah.
- Everyone speeding?
Yeah. Good. Good. Yeah.
Oh, thank god. I'm starving.
Well, don't get too excited.
This is all I could get on short notice.
Short notice?
Lunch happens every day.
Okay. Well, what is it?
What are we having?
Leftovers from last
night's Freeform party.
Yuck, has he still not paid you?
Not a cent.
- Are you serious?
Are you serious?
- Yeah.
This is dumb.
Wher's Terry?
Ham's pretty wet.
[Erika faintly] OK I hear
you when you say you're
under a lot of stress.
[Terry faintly] And I hear
you when you say that.
Terry! Do you have
money or not?
Whoa! What the hell, dude?
Jasmine just brought lunch
and it's a bunch of cold
leftovers from some
Freeform wrap party last night.
We're cutting corners where we can so
that we can put all the
money on the screen.
Yeah. Well, your screen is
about to be filled with a
bunch of very ill actors
if you don't get us any
real edible actual food!
In the next hour!
Mary? Hey, we're gonna
have to call you back. Sorry.
Uh, maybe you should just tell him?
About the money.
Tell me WHAT about the money?
What about the money?!
[suspenseful music and sipping]
Terry! Terry.
Terry. Tell them what
you told me upstairs.
You guys are gonna love
this. You have the floor.
Alright. You're making way too
big a deal about this, alright?
Yeah, I lied about the money.
We didn't have financing
in place technically.
- WHAT?!
[everyone panicking] [Terry] So stupid,
'Cause we DID have money.
And it was the same
amount that I said we had.
Uh, I just didn't raise it technically.
Tell 'em where it came from.
Well, some of it was from,
uh, Erica's parents.
You know, some of it
was our savings. Right?
Um, and most of it was,
uh, you know, like, um?
Crypto. You guys
know cryptocurrency?
Oh great.
- Yeah?
- Crypto, 'm familiar.
Um, like Bitcoin.
Dogecoin.
Yeah, we know, man, we know.
Terry made a hundred
grand off of crypto coin.
That's where the money came from.
Okay. Yeah. Well, that's
not so bad. Right?
Exactly, Jenny.
Thanks for always having my back.
Ask him what the coin was.
Yeah. Um, so, you know,
I was buying all these
little different coins.
It was fun. And some
of them did well.
Some of them did bad. The
one that really popped off?
it wound up being like an alt-
right thing like a Nazi coin.
A Nazi coin! See, I knew
this dude was a racist!
Wait, so this whole thing,
we're making it with what?
Nazi gold? Or?
No. No. Well?
Crypto is a lot like gold.
- No, i's not.
Yeah, it is.
It's more like gold than?
regular currency.
Gold is an... element.
Well... right,
but right now?
TERRY WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?!
Well, 'm just saying most
financing is't backed by
anything, but crypto's real.
- Okay, just so you know,
crypto's not what we have an issue with.
Okay.
- I's the OTHER word.
I's the Nazi stuff, man!
W're not Nazis here.
Even though you look like fucking...
Hitler Youth Group, for Christ's sake.
Look, I did't know any of
this, and I sold it all before
I even knew it was bad.
What was the name of the coin?
[whispering] Swasticoin.
- SWASTICOIN?
What, Swasticoin?
- Swasticoin?
- Swasticoin?!
SWASTICOIN?
- Swasticoin?
Swasticoin.
- You did't"ge" it?
You didn't understand?
I bought a lot
of different coins.
- And all those coins did bad,
but Swasticoin went through the roof?
Yeah. And 'm sure some
of them were PRO semetic.
Okay, well, this article is saying
that Swasticoin was an
alt-right Ponzi scheme,
and all the money that
went into it was used
to fund a museum
that denies the existence
of the Holocaust.
What the fuck does
that even... they make
a museum for that?!
Wow, 'm so sorry, you guys.
'm just hearing about this as well.
And I am SO embarrassed.
I'm mortified.
Well, that article had a ton
of bias against crypto.
Oh, well, it's not the only one.
There's multiple articles that
basically just say
the same thing.
Well, journalists hate crypto
because they're owned
by the World Bank.
You keep saying crypto, man.
We're talking about Nazis!
- Right.
I think journalists in 2023
are allowed to be
biased against Nazis.
No, crypto. Because
of the World Bank.
Do we wanna talk about crypto?
Or do we wanna
make a movie?
- Neither right now.
If I'm being honest.
Terry, you said you HAD money.
Keyword HAD. How
much Nazi coin is left?
Um, technically nothing.
- How?!
The last few days I've
been paying for everything
with my Amex.
Wait, what? Our Amex? Terry,
where did the money go?
These things pile up.
- They pile up?!
Wait, you are never gonna pay me?
Fine. I'm so sorry, guys.
I'm so sorry for everything.
I'm sorry, too.
- Fuck you, Terry.
I wouldn't take your Nazi
shit coin money anyway.
Bullshit. Sorry guys.
You do't have to apologize.
- Mm-hmm.
That was crazy.
- No it was't.
No, sh's not the crazy
one right now Terry.
[door opening]
Uhhh, hello?
What is Seal doing here?
Is now a bad time?
Oh, this looks incredibly weird.
This is our celebrity cameo.
What? You didn't tell me that!
Wait, but how's that
gonna work? Because...
Aren't all the celebrity
cameo scenes with Garry?
Which one of you is Garry?
He's a little tennis ball over there.
Terry, I should have
done this a long time ago...
Even with Seal here...
'm out.
Out. Yeah. You know what?
'm out too. No offense, Seal.
Okay, guys, come on.
No, no, no. Guys, guys, listen.
We are so close to finishing.
Oh boy.
I ruined the movie.
No!
- No, no.
- Oh no! Seal!
Definitely not you.
- Yo're wonderful
- This has nothing to
do with you.
- What if I pay you guys?
With what money?
Don't worry about
the money. 5,000 bucks.
Split down the middle
and you can keep the backend.
I do't want the backend!
- Yeah 'm not, were not
interested in backend.
Sea's in the movie. You're
gonna want the backend.
I need this money in my hand.
Or I'm not shooting another scene.
Yeah I'll put it.
I'll put it in your hand.
Terry where are you gonna get the money?
Let me worry about the money.
Two days. Come back
in two days and we
finish the movie?
Okay, we'll see. Two days.
You got two days.
Or 'll never talk to you again.
Nice meeting you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
Wonderful working with you Seal.
- Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Uh,
Terry, what about the crew?
Uh, Terry?
What about the crew?
What about me?
Seal?
[calm music]
Hey, you two look great.
So Erica's fine.
I'm just calling... well, you
know, Erica wanted me
to call because we do need a
little bit of help financially,
um, for the baby.
So she's due any day now, and...
we could really use the help, i's a lot.
Where's Erica?
How come she's
not a part of this conversation?
How much do you guys need?
Well, that's the good news.
We only need $10,000.
[uncomfortable laughing]
Ahhhh... go get Erica.
Sh's... Erica's busy.
- Doing what?
She's resting her... tummy.
What happened to the money we loaned
you about a month ago?
We spent it all on,
you know... baby stuff.
There's cribs, nursery, cradles,
diapers, pacifier.
One of those things, uh, run...
where the baby runs in it?
It just... it just piles up.
- Wait, wait.
Speaking of...
What is the deal with the baby registry?
I understand the bibs
and the silicone bowls,
but what about this T44
Kino Flo FreeSyle tube light?
What is that?
I have no idea what
these baby things are.
Um...
Do you guys want
to help the baby?
It's fine if you don't.
Wait let me stop you right
there, partner. Okay?
Okay.
- This baby will not have to
worry about a goddamn thing.
Good.
- But if you think we're
giving you another penny?
You're outta your mind.
Well, I'm not... it doesn't...
I completely agree with
everything he just said.
So, that's final!
How do you turn this thing off?
- This...
- How do we leave...
Erica wanted me to call.
She was the one who...
this was her...
- Just hit it hard.
This was her...
- Hit it hard.
Sorry.
- Swipe. Swipe.
I'm swiping.
- Put your face there
so they can see you.
No, no. No that's not it.
I can't believe you asked
my parents for more money.
Yeah. Well, you know what?
If I had a family with money,
I would ask them, but I don't.
Okay. Well, I'm not getting
dragged into this with you again.
What about your family
who lives here in California?
I don't have family in California.
Yeah, you do.
- Who?
Your grandma.
- Gigi?
Yeah.
- She's alive?
Yes!
- She's still alive.
She's still alive.
- And she lives in California?
Yes she lives in California!
- Where?
Seal Beach. At
that leisure center.
Seal Beach. At that leisure
center. I told you Devin!
Let's go to Seal Beach!
[hip-hop playing on car stereo]
Oh my god look at that ocean!
Look at that ocean.
Devin, look at the ocean.
[Devin] Just... can you
look at the road?
Look at the ocean, dude.
- [annoyed] Okay.
When are you gonna see the...
forest for the trees dude?
Come on.
Would I say I'm the perfect
grandson? Is that the question?
[Devin] I did not ask him that.
- Just pretend you did Devin.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Okay, reset.
And... action.
So funny. I'm going to see my
Gigi, who lives in California.
I didn't think I'd get the chance
because the film's been so busy,
but we had the day off.
And I figure I'd be a perfect grandson
and go get lunch with her.
[Devin] But you're still taking
me to In-N-Out, right?
I'm not getting lunch
with her Devin! Alright?
I just don't want people
to think I'm a total asshole.
[Devin] Oh, are you
gonna ask her for money?
Yeah.
A bunch.
[pop music on the car radio]
All right. Here we are.
Whoops.
[check flapping]
Ooh.
Devin, you would not
believe how easy it was
to get money from Gigi.
[Devin] What happened?
Well, I told her it was my birthday.
Iow's a shit hole, man.
No stars, no ocean, no power lunch spots
None of it.
I gotta tell you. No,
you know... walk of fame.
No famous directors.
Look at these houses!
Look at these houses.
Devin, are you getting these houses?
I bet you famous people live there.
You think I'll ever live
in a place like that, Devin?
When the movie's done?
What do you think?
[Devin] I hope so Terry.
Me too. Me too, big time.
[melodious music]
[door opening]
[Phil sighing]
'm here for the money.
Not because I respect you, okay?
Same.
- Understood.
Thank you both so much for coming back.
Alright, let's do a hug.
- What?
No.
- No!
- Last day?
No!
- I's a last day hug.
No, Terry.
- Please?
No.
- Come on. Gimme a hug.
Come on, man.
- Whoa!
All right. Listen up
everyone. Okay?
We need to be out of
this Airbnb by 2 pm sharp.
And we need to leave
it the way we found it.
That means filling in
the holes in the walls.
No gaff tape, no garbage, no nothing.
So we have about...
an hour to get this all done.
So if you are not in this next scene,
I need you cleaning up your area,
helping other people
clean up their areas,
and then getting the
hell out of this house.
Alright? Take it away,
director Terry.
Alright. So I think we
should take this time,
take a minute to just reflect.
What?! Terry, come on.
We're ready to shoot now!
Yeah, let's go.
- Please!
Look, I just think, you know,
we should take a second
to take in what we've done here.
Terry what are you stalling
for? Every step of the way,
I've been keeping this
production on the track,
and you've just been
grabbing the steering
wheel and cranking it towards
a cliff, for fuc's sake, Terry,
we are so close to finishing this movie.
[door opening]
And you just cannot get out of...
[Garry making shooting sounds]
[everyone cheering] Oooooh!

[Garry laughing]
Oh man!
- Garry!
We missed you man.
- Yeah missed 'all too.
Thanks, baby.
[Garry counting to himself]
- [Phil] Wait?
He's counting longer than?
than we counted.
Wait, Terry, is that more than $2,500?
Oh yeah. I paid
him more than you.
That's not cool!
- It is cool. Everything?
Everything's cool.
God, can we shoot something?
Please, please. Am I crazy?
Am I the crazy one here?
Can we shoot?

The meteor's about to come
wipe out the entire planet.
But you guys are fine.
You've made your peace.

We gotta do some closeups.
Come on guys, we gotta go.
Le's do it.
Let's get everyone back in position.
Don't worry.
We'll shoot around Erica.
Somehow it all worked out.
Ca't say Im surprised.
I believed in the script.
I believed in the cast.
And I believed in me.
I believed in Terry.
So yeah, Hulu acquired the movie
and we made a ton of money.
Obviously.
So I'm currently doing a
rewrite on a top secret project
I'm not supposed to talk about.
A new Terminator reboot.
It's gonna be woke.
And uh, I'm also working
on a new Disney+ series.
I'm one of the
directors. It's about?
Boba Fett's cousin or something.
So yeah.
It all worked out, man.
[Devin] And what about
Erica? How's she doing?
Yeah, she's? good.
She, uh?
we split up, she moved back to Iowa.
The? the bab's good, too.
[Devin] Awesome, man. Well?
I think that's all we need.
Finally done with the doc huh?
- Yeah this was
the last interview. So?
Very cool, man.
You sure you don't like, want
my help with it or anything?
Yeah, man. We're sure. I just
wanna make it my own, so?
Yeah, I get it.
Thank you for being
so understanding.
- Yeah, of course dude.
So uh?

[Devin] Um?
