What's everybody? Welcome back to the Crown Cinema
podcast. In this episode we are breaking
down and. Literally just watched crazy
stupid love. Great movie.
Randomly. Great.
It is. It's like, shockingly great.
Yes, just out of nowhere. I I think that's why I I mean,
love this movie. Yeah, just going to go hit the
ground running on this one. But like, I love this movie.
It's like such a good movie. It's sort of like a man's ROM
com. Yeah, yeah, because.
It's not really like a chick flick at all because it's
focused on two guys, so it's more like a dude's romantic
comedy. I never thought of it that way,
but yeah, like that's that's exactly what this is.
Because I, you know, this kind of just goes with like what
Steve? Like we were just talking about
this too on the Super bad episode.
Yeah, we kind of straight away and somehow started talking
about Steve Carell on a 40 year old virgin, Right.
But The 40 Year Old Virgin is a ROM com, but it's a guy's ROM
com. Steve Carell does like fall in
love with a girl and then he's like having to tell his boy he's
like fuck off. Like I like this girl.
That's more like a calm ROM comedy first, but there's some
romance. There's some romance in it.
Yeah, this is definitely romance.
First Oh dude, yeah, there's. Actually, this says romance
drama, not comedy. That's just wrong.
Yeah, this is movie hilarious. Just so wrong.
Yeah, that's this movie is so funny.
But yeah, dude, it's just one of those things where like, you
know, I don't really know where we're at in the world with ROM
coms right now. And which I think is telling.
I think that means like, it's probably just not like the
hottest market right now. I I don't think people are
making quality ROM coms. Well.
No, there's no comedies really either.
I said I did just watch the drama with Robert Benson and
Zendaya. That's a ROM com.
It ain't like this. It ain't like this.
I'm not going to say anything. We should do an episode on the
drama. You recommend it though.
I recommend it. Yeah, I recommend it.
But I'm just saying like, this is like, this is the perfect mix
of sexy and cute. Nice.
Like that. No, but I just think this like
came out like so randomly. The cast is stacked.
It is stacked. Like, especially looking forward
like these. Everybody in this movie is done
incredibly well in their career, like after this movie.
And it was the first time Gosling and Emma Stone work
together and they went on to do 2 other movies as a couple.
They have such great chemistry. Together.
And like, it's just so obvious in this movie that like, they
just are. They work really, really well
together. They said when they were trying
to cast somebody to be the love interest for Ryan Gosling,
whoever the actresses were that were playing with him because
he's being super charming and flirty.
Some actresses had trouble being the non caring because they're
like, you know, frying Gosling. He's flirting with you.
They had trouble like hiding. The fact that they were getting
a little flustered. Right.
Exactly. But when they brought in Emma
Stone, she was, you know, cool. Exactly.
Yeah. She was how she was.
That's what we need. That's I think that's why it
worked so well. And I, you know, we kind of
talked about that and super bad as well, but she's literally
just so cool that. Probably helps their on screen
chemistry because Ryan. Of course.
Ryan Gosling is charming and he's in his roles.
So when you have a girl that's not super bought into it, she's
cool. Joking with them doesn't work
that much. It works on her but not overly.
It makes you feel like, OK, they actually do like each other.
Yeah, she's not looking like a like a puppy, right.
You know, it's like me and their owner for the first time.
So you can like tell him like, Oh my God, stop.
Like shut up. Like that's that's the she's
like a big sister to him in a way.
She's like, that's so stupid. Like, oh, get away from me.
That's so weird. Pick up lines.
Gross. Like he tells her the big move.
She's like, that's the dumbest thing ever, you know?
And obviously, like it, it works.
It does work, but. Like it never failed.
Yeah, but the fact that, like, her hearing it, him having to,
like, tell her, you know, he's not like, being all slick
working in the conversation. She's like, all right, what is
it, idiot? What's the big move?
And he's like, I work Patrick Swayze's Dirty Dancing in the
conversation. She's like, that's just the
dumbest thing ever. But like, she's just so good.
She's so good and just works so well.
And then like Steve Carell just out of nowhere.
I mean, because it works, it works.
I mean 2011. So like the Office has to be
like peak right now, right? Yes, I don't know when it I'm a
huge fan of the Office, but I generally genuinely don't know
the years. That makes sense because it's
kind of a timeless show, right? Like you think about like you've
just been watching The Office. And it's always been on
streaming. Yeah, 2005 it started and it
went for eight seasons. So nine seasons, so math 2014.
So yeah, office is at his peak. He's probably just, he probably
just left the office. Did he leave?
He's. He left like the last three or
4. Seasons.
I guess you might, yeah, you might start, I guess, in the
office at this point, 2000. They start filming in 2010, so
maybe this is when Michael's like they're developing his love
interest with Holly. Well, he, yeah, but he leaves.
He leaves the show. No, I know, but like.
I'm saying by the time this probably 2011, I would guess
that's when Steve Carell actually left the show.
Like he's no longer on The Office and was doing Movies Now.
It's pretty, yeah. It's pretty crazy to see like,
'cause they, we talked about this on the Super bad episode,
but I'll bring it up again. Like, Hollywood tried to make
Steve Carell like a household Hollywood name.
They try to, like, make him a pretty big dude.
Which is hard to do when you're the biggest sitcom star ever.
Probably. I mean, I think you could call
Michael Scott the most famous sitcom *.
The. Office.
I've seen the office at least four times through.
The Internet, like just set the show on fire.
Like just in the sense of like, it just spread.
Like everybody seems to know the office, Everybody loves the
office. There's a FIDE.
Yeah, there's a cool Easter egg in this movie, and it's a call
back to the office. It's a little gag.
They have Emily Weaver, Kyle's wife, her job.
She sits at her desk and her name plate says associate to the
vice. The vice president.
Associate to the Vice President. I noticed that.
I don't know why I noticed that today.
Which is a call back to Dwight Schrute being the assistant to
the regional. Manager.
Oh my God. They added a little Easter egg,
little gag in there calling calling back to the office
because let's see. I'm I'm curious if this was his
first movie back or or what? What was his movies after the
Office and how? How soon after was this one?
After the office, I mean, I, I don't know, 'cause like I'm just
thinking they like tried to make him like a real lead man.
I mean, he did the 40 year old virgin.
He that we talked about like he did like Evan Almighty.
Let's see here. In 2010, Carl announced he was
leaving the office to concentrate on his film career.
Let's see, were we going to have to find this?
OK. Well, if we just look at his
movies, we'll be able to see the dates of everything, yeah.
Oh. He's got a new show coming out,
too. Yeah, it's on HBO.
Yeah, Rooster. Yeah, looks like it'll be good
threat level midnight. Wait.
Get Smart sleeper movie. I think Get smart is so funny.
OK, so he was doing movies during the office and then OK,
so he was doing movies throughout the office, but then
Despicable Me date night dinner for schmucks being crazy stupid
love. So not he was always doing
movies. Yeah, no, but I think it was
just one of those things where it was like I it's hard.
So I think about how hard it is. How do you do?
I don't even know how you do ATV show and then focus on, you
know, doing a movie let. Me, just scrap the movies.
Let me just scratch from the record what I said about It's
hard for Steve Carell being the biggest sitcom, started to do
movies because he's always doing movies.
So that was just a dumb thing for me to say.
Here's the thing you kind of forget like some of the movie
like I totally forgot he's in Despicable Me.
Not only is he in Despicable Me, he is right the guy brew that I
totally forgot that that's. Me too, honestly.
They even gave him the Steve Carell nose.
Yeah. Yeah, Horton hears a who?
Anchorman, obviously, like we said, 40 year old virgin.
He's always had a solid career. Yeah, so, but I like it just
makes sense like to you film ATV show and then you like also do a
couple movies. That literally means you have no
time off in a year. He's kind of shockingly a huge
*. He is a huge star.
Everybody loves Steve Carell. Yeah.
Everybody, but I think this movie in particular, like does a
really good job of showing him like he's like a cool dude and
it's really cool that like the like, it works whenever he goes
through the makeover and then, you know, Ryan Gosling's like
slapping him around a little bit and he's still just goofy
insecure. Steve Carell is a very good
actor. Then after he hooks up with the
first of nine girls, he comes into the bar.
They do the slow MO thing and it's really not funny.
You're like, damn, dude, he looked, he looks good.
He's pretty handsome guy. He's.
Getting after it, yeah, he carries.
Himself, Well, they show all the the cuts of him talking to these
girls and it's not corny. He essentially is a new person,
right? He's a very talented actor in
that regard. Hey guys, this episode is
sponsored by Locke Lab. It is a tiny little pill that I
take that has helped grow my hair back out.
Saved Grey's life. A lot of people were saying
like, oh, he went to Turkey, blah blah blah.
First off, no. Great cannot afford to go to
Turkey. Yeah, I don't know what kind of
money you think we're this podcast is making us, but I'm
not able to just fly out to Turkey.
No, it was literally my hair was gone.
In fact, did you know this? Doctors say by the time most men
notice hair loss, they've already lost 50% of their hair's
density. Whoa.
Which, if you really look back at my case, completely true.
It was bad. Cade told me.
Hey man, it's gone, you may as well just accept it.
And I did. I did.
I accepted the bald look for like a year and a half.
Then I heard about lock lab, decided I'd give it a shot.
Within like 3 months my hair was back to normal.
I didn't have faith. I thought, great, it's it's over
dude, just give it up man. I was fully prepared to just do
a bunch of Jason Statham costumes for Halloween for the
rest of my life. I was prepared to say I'm the
big caper. But no, I don't have to do that
anymore. And it's all because of lock.
Lab, I'm no longer embarrassed to walk outside with Gray, go to
places and do some women. It's so much easier for me now.
How's your wingman? Yeah, I didn't realize it was so
hard for you, but. When you have like a nice set of
hair like me and you're going out to the bars trying to hook
you up with the lady because I already have a lady, so I tried
to hook you up with the lady just sees my flow hair and I'm
like, no, no, no, I'm I'm married my friend over there and
I point to you and you're bald. It's like it's hard to get him
over there. I honestly the ball wasn't even
bad, I think it was way worse when I was trying to hang on to
the hair when it was clearly. Shot, but your new hair looks
phenomenal, I'll tell you that. So yeah, go to lock lab, give it
a shot. Did wonders for me.
I think it'll do wonders for you all.
Right. Go into the slow MO like you
just said. There's a cool moment once Steve
Krause slept with the first woman, like you said, and he
walks into the bar slow MO. But you've always seen Ryan
Gosling in her scene in slow motion because he has that power
and confidence. So the first time Steve Carell
or first time Cow has that confidence, he walks in slow
motion, which is cool because at the end of the movie after the
family fight and his son tells Cow to go home Dad, when he's
walking out of the driveway, it's slow MO, which is almost
telling you Cow's going back to the bachelor life.
But now it's different. It's not this exciting thing
anymore. Now it's just sad because also
Jacob Ryan Gosling realized the bachelor life sucks.
This whole Playboy pick up line guy, that's a shitty life.
He wants to actually be like Cal or how Cal was with his family.
And so it's just a cool change in the slow MO from beginning to
end. Yeah, it was badass.
And then in a few short minutes, we have clearly shown you, like,
this sucks. Yeah.
No meaning in this. It's just very.
It's very lonely. And you know what?
And yeah. And you know what?
You know that like when I first saw this movie, like when I was
like a kid, it was one of those. And I've been noticing that,
like people are saying this about Troy, but it's kind of the
same thing with this is like in Troy, like when you were a kid,
you thought Achilles was the coolest dude, right?
But then like you grow up and realize Hector's actually the
man, right? When I was a kid, Ryan Gosling,
like in this movie is like the coolest dude.
And he is because he actually does get his shit together,
right. But really, like Cal is the
coolest dude in this movie. He's got it together, he's got
the real dream. Yes, he's like got he, he's like
clearly a cool person. He's loved by his family, like
his 13 year old son likes him. They're like, that's something
that a lot of dads probably struggle with, like his
daughters love. Like he, you know, he's just got
it all down. Yeah, 17 year old girls loving
him. That's not that cool.
Hold on, wait a minute. I'm not saying that's cool.
What I'm saying is, what I'm saying is he's cool enough to
have crush people with a crush on him, is what I'm trying to
say OK? Listen to the words I'm
speaking. Oh, man.
For audio listeners here. I've never seen Cade get this
read before. No, but he is like he's a he's
just a cool guy and like you can tell.
But I was just thinking like watching this movie, like this
time for the podcast, like dude, Ryan Gosling, like in this
movie, his character, what's his name?
Cow No, Jacob. Jacob.
Jacob sucks, bro. What?
Just in the sense of like, if I like and Cal calls it out, like
at the beginning when he's sitting at the bar alone for the
first time and he's drinking his vodka cranberry and Cal.
Yeah. And Cal's like, by himself.
He, like, doesn't have any guy friends.
He's just going and hitting on girls, in fact.
His guy friend broke up with him.
No, I'm talking about Jacob. Oh, talking about Jacob.
Jacob has no guy friends. Air quote reading the newspaper.
Yeah. He was reading that shit.
He just, that's just posturing for the ladies.
Oh yeah, yeah. I read the newspaper.
I care about what happens in the world.
Yeah, like that shit. Like now that I'm a grown up,
like, like, and Cal says he's like gay, gay.
Yeah. I was like, dude, yes.
Like if you're just some guy getting dressed up in suits and
just going to bars solo and picking up girls, yeah, and
you're creepy. He's the guy.
He's the kind of guy that doesn't, he's doing everything
he he thinks he should be doing. He drinks old fashions because
probably a magazine told him that's what men drink.
That's like a, you know, girls line.
Guys that drink a man drink like an old fashioned.
So he wears the suits out when he's out.
He has the little pickup lines that he uses.
You know, it's not like he's trying to find a real
relationship. He's just, you know, saying
lines that he knows works. He has moves that have worked
every single time. So he's just doing things that
he thinks he should be doing. To be as he has moves gay Dirty
Dancing like I'm with, you know, Emma, Emma Stone's character on
this. That's that's gay.
Funny story about The Dirty Dancing scene, Emma Stone
realized during that scene when the first time when they shot
it, when Ryan Gosling picks her up, which wasn't in the script
originally when they were talking about the movie and
table reads or just pre production, whatever it is, Ryan
Gosling mentioned he could do The Dirty dancing move and
they're like OK, well we're putting that in the movie.
He's like no, don't do that. He's like no, don't know.
Put that in the movies, like no, we have to, we're going to.
So they put it in the movie. In the first onset when they
filmed it, Ryan Gosling went to go pick up Emma Stone and she
remembered and realized that she has a huge fear of heights and
getting picked up. So when he picked her up she
like freaked out, screamed and like he had a drop her and she
broke down crying, had a run to her.
She had a run to her trailer and cried for an hour to watch a
movie to settle down. I mean, I had like a real
meltdown. You crawled in bed and watched
the robbery. And the reason why is because
when she was seven years old, she said about 7 years old, she
was in gymnastics class. She was standing on like these
parallel beams, like high bars, like 6 feet above the ground.
And her teacher was holding her ankles while she was up there.
For whatever reason, the teacher let go and she felt herself
tipping forward. So she like put her tucked her
arms in front of her body and fell straight down 6 feet and
broke both of her arms. So that had some lasting trauma.
And she didn't realize she had that kind of trauma until he
picked her up for the first time and she freaked out.
So that's why they cut to that wide shot, because they had to
use a stunt double because she couldn't do this.
She can't do it. That kind of works for their on
screen chemistry though too. It's like that shit.
I don't know, like that's that's kind of yeah, well, it's just
kind of goofy. Like it, it makes sense too,
because like you think about like when he does the move and
she like she is leaning forward. So I bet it like took her
literally right back to her falling forward.
Exactly. Yeah, because you, you're to do
it, you have to tip forward in order to get the balance.
You know what I mean? You can't be.
You have to like trust the movement forward and balance
yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, poor
Emma. No, I didn't know that.
And hers, the screams you hear of Emma Stone, like in the movie
when she's like screaming, like having fun.
That was actually her real scared screams when they did the
first take. Oh, poor Emma, it's not that
cool. She definitely doesn't go on
roller coasters. No.
Well, maybe you're strapped. Yeah, but you fall forward.
It's like her fear. Yeah, man.
Yeah, probably. Yeah, probably, probably not.
Probably not the biggest roller coaster fan.
That's crazy, though. Had a breakdown crying.
And then on top of the fact that, like, she kind of did it
in front of a whole set, so like, you know, she's probably
embarrassed, too. That just elevates it even more.
Yeah. I keep saying elevate, no pun
intended. Emma.
What? Do you mean?
She's afraid of heights. Oh yeah.
Yeah, no, I this movie, it's funny, like I put I put this
movie on like 3 weeks ago. I was just cleaning my apartment
and I just threw this on. This is one of those.
Yeah, it's great. Yeah, it's always a good watch.
How many times do you think you've seen it?
Alright, 3. I've seen it, like, a lot.
But again, it's just like one of those throw ONS.
Like we've talked about this before, but I'm a real sucker
for watching movies like ROM coms when I'm hungover.
This is like the one. Yeah.
It's like such a good feel good. It's a good, it's a yeah, it's a
feel good, heartwarming. It is because it's like a guy's
ROM com. I never thought of it like that
before because it is like it's all about like being a man and
like no, you go get what you believe is yours.
Yeah, yeah. It's not focus on the women at
all. Yeah, you got to fight for for
what you have. The girl story is the bee.
Story. Emma Stone's story is the bee
story. A really cow story.
I mean, sorry, Jacob's story. Yeah, that's that's the other
thing, Like, I think this movie probably just shocked a lot of
people because obviously, like Ryan Gosling, everybody knows
that name going into this. Steve Carell, he's funny.
Emma Stone has been established as well.
You know, she's done super bad. She's done.
Easy A I'm sure she done a couple other things as well.
But like, people know who she is.
She's funny. Like, this is a funny cast,
right? What's the mother's name?
She's awesome, too. Julianne Moore.
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, she's awesome, too.
You know, she's, I don't know if she's ever been in like a movie
like this, but she does like really dramatic roles.
So this is cool to see. Always just picture and the
Boogie Nights. Yep, the mother.
Yeah, she's definitely in that. And but then she's also like the
villain in The Hunger Games movies, like in the final one.
So she's, you know, it's just, it's a really good cast,
star-studded, but you're thinking it's just going to be
like a cute little ROM com and then it ends up having like an
insane twist. Kevin Bacon's the side piece.
That's right. Oh, and he, like, he does such a
good job too. And they do such a good job with
his character, like showing him because they show him to be like
a pretty you. You're kind of like, oh, he's
like a cool guy. Yeah, he's a cool dude.
Like he kind of has the same charisma as Ryan Gosling and
Steve Carell's character. You know, he's kind of.
He keeps up with the humor. He's able to keep up with Emily
Weaver in the movie, like Flair successfully.
Yeah. Like he, but then you just have
to remember that he literally broke a family.
So no, this guy sucks. This guy sucks.
You're falling for his tricks because he's doing the same
thing that Jacob Palmer is doing in this movie, you know, and the
audience, like you kind of fall for it.
At least I did. I'm like, oh, this guy's not so
bad. It's like, no, he literally come
like he goes face to face with this guy's son.
The guy's son says like back off, like my dad's going to get
her back because he's a better man than you.
And then he still proceeds to go after her.
They're not even divorced, Cade. Nope, they're not even divorced.
Nope, bad guy. He home, he's a home record.
He's a bad guy. And So Cal, that's why he
probably hates Jacob even more is because he's like, that's
what that's what a guy like David Lindhoggen turns into.
You just end up hitting on married women because you're
like bored is David Lindhagen like clearly like is single.
He's their age, but like doesn't look like he ever got married
there. I mean, there's no back story,
but like, I think he's kind of supposed to be what Jacob Palmer
sees himself ending up being. Yeah, could be, yeah.
Home wrecking, yeah. I mean, once you get into an
age, the women available are mostly married.
Yeah. So you're just.
Yeah, At some point, Jacob, if he'd stay down his bastard path,
would have slept with a married woman.
Yep, probably already has but like.
Yep, true, probably already. Has, yeah, but it's different
because Jacob's like, he's, I don't know, younger, I guess
he's probably, he's probably like 262728, I don't know.
Maybe he's in his 30s, I don't know.
But he's like, I don't know. There's probably 20s, probably
late 20s, early 30s I'd guess. I'd guess.
He's well off, Yeah. I mean got a bad ass house.
Trust fund baby. Or yeah, Brian, yeah.
He is, He explains it. Oh, actually.
Yeah, his dad dies, so that's how he ends up with all that.
OK. Yeah, Yeah, there we.
Go but yeah. And then OK, so the the twist in
this movie, great twist very famous scene.
Everybody I think knows this scene.
It's like it's just, I don't know how they pulled it.
Off Well, it's genius the way they pull it off because they
call her Nana, which is a grandmother's name.
And so when you hear Cal and his wife talk about Nana, you assume
talking about one of their moms. Yeah, what are we going to tell
Nana? Right.
And so you're thinking it's like one of the moms that's really
close to the family and they. How'd she sound?
Yeah, how you like, how's our mother sound there?
How you know, how's your grandmother?
How's my mother sound? So you assume it's a old lady
and then you find out it's her and you're like.
No way, I know, but you know, again, I've I've seen it so many
times, but like, what was I thinking the first time I
watched it? Like why, why is Emma Stone like
just randomly appearing in the movie?
But I think it's because like they, they're also kind of
tricking you with just. Cal's story he called cows are
cooler names, so I keep calling Ryan Gosling cow Jacob's story.
You're, well, you're getting caught up with that then.
So you've got that. There's Cal and Jacob and
they're like getting after it. And then Cal's youngest son also
has a crush on the babysitter, and then the babysitter has a
crush on Cal. So that's already, there's a lot
going on there. Now the you're focused on Emily
Weaver. She's like struggling because
she misses her husband, but she's also like David
Lindhoggen. He's not a bad guy.
Like so you start like kind of focusing on that part of the
relationship or like the relationship that they have
going and then but again, like where the fuck is Emily or Emma
Stone coming from you? Could also think of it in the
beginning because it's called crazy stupid love.
Broad title so it's showing you different relationships.
So maybe there's a side of relationship with Emma Stone's
character and her shitty boyfriend.
So like, OK, here's another example of like crazy stupid
love. Yeah, yeah.
So like you could think that as well.
I guess it just sets you up to where you have no idea this is
coming. I guess really like, what it is.
The way the reason it works is because it's so obviously the,
the the point is made at the beginning that like, this girl
is different because she's the only one that rejects Ryan
Gosling's character. Yeah.
OK. So you know that she's going to,
like, come back and, like, make him a more grounded man.
You just know that that's coming.
And you think that's what it's going to be.
It's just going to be as simple as that.
You and you don't you don't even think about the fact that it's
going to affect Steve Carell's character at all.
You know, you're just more focused on the fact because Ryan
Gosling is like such a big star that he is able to get away with
this. You know that that is what
you're thinking. You're just like, can we just,
like, get to the point where, like, she comes in and, you
know, they and then he realizes, like, his lifestyle is not good.
So then he probably has to, like, help Cal get his wife
back. Yeah.
You know, I guess that's like what you would be thinking.
And it's just, it's just A twist out of nowhere and like a fun
romantic comedy movie and then like, whoa, this is a crazy
twist. Right.
I think that's the other thing is like ROM coms aren't doing
that. No, like ROM coms don't have
insane plot twists. Yeah, so it does.
I mean, it just it works out really, really well.
It's interesting that Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell were
teamed up in this movie. Steve Carell was kind of
curious, not worried, but just curious how it would go with
Ryan Gosling, you know, with Steve Carell being a comedy
actor. And how would could Ryan Gosling
match the humor? But when Ryan Gosling was young,
one of his first acting jobs, he was like on set with Steve
Carell. They never were in two scenes
together, so they didn't meet each other.
But Ryan Gosling got to see Steve Carell work and with this
improv and how funny he was on set.
Like Ryan Gosling says he remembers seeing the boom
operator have to like drop the boom pole and like grab his
ribs. He was dying laughing so hard
with whatever Steve Carell was doing in the scene.
And so he got to see that. And so he's like, Dang, I really
got to up my game. Like Steve Carell is like
insanely funny. So I got to up my acting game to
become funnier. Which then in this movie, he
obviously brings his humor and he's really good with the body
language humor, like his physical humor, like my the
funniest one that's just so simple, but it's hilarious is
when Cow opens up his Velcro wallet.
He just like he. Looks at it and like takes a
step to the side and like looks back at him like that's just so
funny. His just body language is like,
are you serious? A fucking Velcro wallet.
Are you a grown man? What are you doing?
It's just his little physical humor is hilarious.
It's yeah. And like, they pretty much did
the opposite, too. Like Ryan Gosling and Steve
Carell. As far as like, careers go.
Ryan Gosling, I I I think at this point, like, he's doing
like, pretty much only dramatic roles.
I don't think he'd stepped into comedy yet.
If he had it, like, I don't know how big it would have been.
Let's see, like the Notebook? Yeah, serious.
Remember the Titans? That's crazy.
Yeah, I mean, that looks like it's his first comedy and it.
Kind of random too, because like after this came out, like I saw
A place Beyond the Pines and then Blade Runner, like kind of.
And that makes like he didn't just like kind of stay with
comedy. I mean, he did end up doing the
nice guys, right? But that was five years later.
Let's see here. The Big Short.
Big Short's funny. The Big Short is funny.
Drive is not funny. Drive is not funny.
He did a movie that I watched. Oh, Half Nelson.
Not funny. I've seen that.
You ever seen this movie? No.
Yeah. He's a middle school teacher.
Without, like, a heroin addiction.
No. Nice.
Not funny. So no book, I guess is kind of.
There's some humor too, but it's not a funny movie.
He has to, you know, like. Charming, charming.
He is yeah, he's charming. I wouldn't say funny, but
anyways, I'm just saying like he does not do a ROM com.
So this is just like so random. And then Steve Carell like is
well, and then Ryan Gosling has gone on to like show that he is
a very funny. He's very good at comedy.
He's like whenever, every time he gets on SNL, he kills.
Yes, obviously the nice guys were big fans of that movie.
Hilarious in that movie. But then Steve Carell kind of
the opposite. He is just straight comedy.
He only does comedy. Then after this, like he goes on
to do, I mean not like right after, but like he did do
Beautiful Boy. You ever seen Beautiful Boy?
No, but you've told me about it. God almighty, dude, talk about
just like a tear trigger. It's insane that Steve Carell is
even capable of doing that. You just know him as like this
goofy dude. And but like that movie ain't
funny at all, like at all. And Steve but Steve Carell kills
it. He's so good in it.
And it's just I it's it's just really wild to see all of these
actors. Emma Stone ends up going on to
do very serious roles now too, and like, they're all so good.
Yeah, this movie. It seems like Steve Carell
brought out some of the 40. Oh, virgin.
Oh yeah. Scenes I mean, definitely his
wardrobe in the beginning of the movie is very much not the suit,
but like his day-to-day wear like he's just polo shirts.
You know, he's wearing his new balances.
Yeah, that's pretty much 40. Oh, virgin look.
Yeah, Steve Carell is really good at playing the dude that
like, everybody's like picking on and trying to fix and he's
just like, OK, you know, he's just got down like the all
right, Like, like, stop being such a Dick head to me.
Here's a question, how did the teacher not know that was her
two students father? Yeah, how would she not see that
coming? Weaver same.
Same town maybe? Maybe.
Maybe she didn't know the last name of Cal.
Or didn't know the divorce. I thought your phone was
ringing. Yeah.
I don't know if she, yeah, maybe Cal just didn't tell her his
last name. Yeah, I guess maybe, yeah.
It's an interesting little town they got going on here.
Yeah, it is. Because, like, everybody's like.
Clearly every Yeah, well, like everybody's connected somehow
because like everybody like is hearing through the Grapevine
the cows hooking up with chicks. But like, yeah, right.
But he's also like, I like, I'm a, I'm a bar goer myself and I'm
like, when I go to my regular bar, I tend to see a lot of the
same people like this bar they go to.
New women every. Night women every night.
Where is that bar? Where do I find that bar?
Yeah, it's a nice bar too. It's a nice.
Bar spend 800 bucks in that bar yeah yeah, $800 tab Yeah, before
a divorce. Got to save his money but I get
it taken. God, that's true.
Yeah, that's probably why he looks at that taken.
He's. Like, yeah.
I don't need to be doing this. Yeah.
Wait, this is another RFK junior.
Just I don't need to be doing this.
Yeah. I need to stop spending money.
I need to go get my wife back. But yeah.
The the title of the movie is Crazy Stupid Love.
They never had a title during production.
It was always called the Untitled Dan Fogelman Project.
The writer. Oh, OK, so throughout
production, they told the people on set or giving away an iPad to
anybody who can come up with a good title for this movie.
Some of the some of the names were romantical, which they were
like, I'm so glad we didn't do that title.
That was almost a title that sounds.
That's a terrible title. Romantical.
Yeah. And then the one that Steve
Carell, like a Steve Carell didn't like this title.
He's like, that's a dumb movie. I can't imagine five guys on a
Friday night going to go see Crazy Stupid Love.
Crazy, stupid love. I never liked that title.
I do now. It gets a chick that sounds like
a chick flick. Honestly, yeah, Now that I'm
thinking about it, crazy stupid love is like kind of sucks.
The girly title, but another title that Steve Kerr liked was
The Wingman. It felt like it was kind of a
weak title, but it does match more of what the movie's about.
And yeah, and I think it would go along better with kind of
what we're talking about the bro ROM com.
Yeah, right. The wingman.
Yeah, exactly. Oh, the wingman could have been
good. Yeah, they feel like it was, you
know, they're like, all right, that's OK.
Title. Maybe we use it, but the Warner
Brothers just ended up saying, all right, this the movie's
crazy, stupid love. They're like, all right, just
run it. We don't have a title, so just
that's fine. And Steve Crow was like, I don't
like that title, but he ended up liking it.
He said Steve Crow actually was like, I've kind of realized now
that it doesn't matter what you need in the movie.
If it's a good movie, nobody gives a shit what it's called.
Yeah, I mean, and that you telling me that crazy stupid
love is literally because they just couldn't think of anything
else. Because when you think of like
when people have a title for something, for me I always
assumed like they always knew what the title.
Was It's like there's a meaning behind the title.
It goes along perfectly with like what the story is crazy,
stupid love. Not the best title, but like I
because the movie is so good, I've never once thought like
kind of weak, but it also does work.
It does work. There's a lot of there's a lot
of craziness that happens in this and it makes sense like in
the plot twist climax of the movie, you know, it's just like
crazy, stupid love. Like it's not just Cal trying to
get his wife back. There's like a lot of people
chasing significant others in this movie and.
They add meaning to the title when you see the title on
screen. When Emily tells Cal she wants a
divorce at their date at dinner because it says crazy, stupid
love and love, like, drifts away from the other two words, You
know, because he just, he just said I want to have a divorce.
And now love is breaking apart. Yeah.
So it added some meaning to it. Yeah.
And then editing, you know, you could be thinking that like
crazy and stupid are both combined to like describe all of
the love, but it could just be like 2 separate words.
Like there's crazy love in this movie and then there's stupid
love. So it could also mean that we're
like, the crazy love is like, like David Lynn Hagen trying to
go after a married woman with kids.
Yep, that's that's crazy love. It's also kind of stupid too,
but it is crazy. Crazy love the Jacob for falling
in love like this is crazy. You never expected to fall in
love with the woman. Yep, Yeah, yeah, That's crazy.
Love Cal, you know, just trying to like get his wife back.
That's that's like crazy in a sense of like he's got to go
above and beyond, kind of put on these shows.
He has to be a little crazy. Then there's the stupid love
where like the babysitters in love with Cal.
Like that's stupid. Robbie's not stupid.
Robbie could go get Robbie does get her.
Oh, Robbie wins the best in this.
Movie Yeah, Robbie, you end up like, they literally end on him
and then it's like, holy shit, it was just about him the whole
time. Robbie was actually the main
character. Robbie's soulmate, biggest crush
in the world gives him an envelope of naked pictures of
his crush and. He's 13.
That's a game changer for him. He won, he won, he wins.
That's the biggest win. 8th grader getting naked photos of
your biggest trash. Yeah.
And she's like older. He wins.
He wins, he wins. You can tell he's just like a
cool kid. He's not even going to tell his
boys. No, he'll love.
That's his soul mate. That's his soul mate.
He can't disrespect his soul mate.
No, he's 13, but like they keep hinting at the fact that like
he's older, like he's like. He's he's on his years.
So that worked. I didn't really much care for
the fact that Cal, like kind of gives him a nod of approval.
It's like, no, no, no, you got to go step in and go get those
naked pictures. Only you know he doesn't know
what it is. Dude, get a fucking clue then,
Cal. Yeah, what are you talking
about? She just handed him on the
little well, Cal's. Going to be real careful.
He can't know that those photos are going to be in his house
because he's already suspect from the dad that dad's like,
ready to kill him. Yeah, dude, the cops have
already shown up. Yeah, what a horrible
predicament to be in. I mean, what a terrible
predicament. What I also.
Having to explain yourself is horrible.
Yeah. Just having to, like, explain
what's going on, Yeah, is already terrible.
Yeah. Even even though he's, like,
completely innocent, he doesn't even know what's going on.
Yeah, still terrible. You know, you know why, like it
kind of works even better. And I I, I think I'm on to
something here, but I noticed it watching it this time is so Cal.
And can we go back to the cast, please, Cal?
And can we go down to the father of the daughter of the
babysitter? What is his name?
He's so good. Bernie, John Carroll Lynch.
So Cal and Bernie are clearly like boys.
They these guys are best friends.
It worked out perfect. Their sons are in the same
grades so like they can hang out but like that gives them an
excuse to hang out. Their wives get along, too.
Obviously. The problem is that the
babysitter is in love with Cal. That's a big problem.
But you're shown Bernie, like, having to break up with Cal,
which means, like, they had a solid friendship.
They had a solid relationship. You even bought him a gift, got
him like, you know, yeah, probably, like a 200 bottle of
Cologne, if I was guessing. And so, like, they clearly have
a good relationship, but you don't really.
You don't really see it, you know?
But there was one hint of it is whenever Cal has his two kids
and he goes to Home Depot and he like sees him.
And so you're assuming it's probably like a Saturday.
Sure. I honestly, I'm pretty sure it's
a Saturday because, well, I'll get there.
But Bernie sees him and he's like sad because he's like, hey,
hey, you know, it's Home Depot. Like, dude, no, but like my
wife's definitely not going to be here.
Your wife's not going to be here.
Like we could like, dude, let's let's catch up.
You know, I just and he's like, sorry, in a rush.
Got to go. And then we cut later on to see
that Bernie is just by himself. I think his son might actually
be in the room with him. Like Bernie is watching a ball
game of some sort, drinking beer by himself, which for me leads
me to believe that like he probably watches sports with Cal
like all the time. So like he's like kind of just
sad. So then.
He lost his boy. Yeah, I lost his boy.
Yeah. Like, I love just that little
detail, like him drinking beer by himself, like with nobody
else, which means, like, Cal has been his drinking buddy for a
long time now. And so then, like, that's why,
like, he sees red even faster because he like, feels betrayed.
He's like, you know, in his head he's like, I told you we
couldn't be friends anymore. So now you're seeing my high
school daughter. I'm going to fucking kill you,
dude, you know? But I just, I love that detail.
I noticed that on this one. Yeah, that's nice.
Him just solo drinking beer. And it was he doesn't have his
cow with him anymore. RIP.
Yeah, my wife said we had to choose and I chose you.
But then she said no. So you know, now we now we have
to stop talking. Yeah.
You're married, man, Is that? Could you see that being
accurate? Well if if there was a dude that
I was friends with that maybe like cheated on his wife.
Oh. Mercedes like don't hang out
with that guy. He's clearly not a good guy.
Sure. That would be like I see you
there. Oh that's good dude.
That's good, even though Cal didn't do the cheating.
No, in fact, he didn't even divorce his wife.
So and Bernie's wife actually kind of sucks.
She kind of sucks. There you go.
That's really what I wanted to hear, honestly.
Yeah, yeah. You just told me I couldn't hang
out with you. I'd stop hanging out with you.
Like I wouldn't even fight. Kind of waiting on her to just
tell you like, hey, let's cut that off.
I'll buy you. I'll buy you Cologne though.
I appreciate that. I appreciate that.
No, so many, just so many funny lines, like spoken in one word,
like Emma Stone, you know, dropping the one and only F on
that you hear in this movie. Fuck, seriously?
It's like you're photoshopped. Yeah, perfect.
Yep. It's also perfect because, like,
I guess The Dirty Dancing scene, Ryan Gosling just reminds me a
lot of Brad Pitt in the sense that, like, Ryan Gosling
probably doesn't care for when people make him, like, take his
shirt off on screen because he's a good looking dude.
He's talented. Let's not focus on the fact that
he also happens to have a six pack.
Yeah, Like they so clearly did that to him in this movie,
which. Is that's funny, before that
scene was shot, Ryan Gosling was sick, I think with the flu.
And so he would just show up to sit.
And I mean, maybe not the flu because I don't you can't really
be around people with the flu, but he was sick regardless.
And so he would just show up the set and immediately go to bed to
try to recover for the next day so he could perform.
And he'd been in bed for like a week beforehand.
And so the one of the directors, I think two people direct this
movie. I'll Fact Check, Fact Check that
in a second. But so they call Ryan Gosling
and say, Hey, how's like, how's the body looking?
And Ryan Gosling was like, that is the most direct way you could
have asked me that question. It's like, I know what you're
asking. Do I still have a six fact?
He's like, yes, the ABS are good, we'll be OK.
Yeah. So like, he was sick before
that. So like they wanted to make sure
he's still ripped so he could take his shirt off for the
moment. Will probably help the fact that
like he's. Probably dehydrated, not eating
that much. Yeah, not eating that much.
Like you just have a six pack. Yeah.
But like he's so clearly is uncomfortable and then he like
as he's like can't put my shirt on him.
So no, but like so the fuck. That's like a good one.
Like, if you're if you can only use one, that's a good time to
use it. The one that got us so good.
The mother of the babysitter going through the picture for
JJ. Yeah, so good.
Just a mom broken by her daughter, clearly losing her
innocence. So good.
Oh, oh, oh, no. The the best, the best one is
Cal and Emily Weaver meeting with the teacher, Robbie's
teacher, and she goes off on the rant of like asshole, asshole,
asshole, you know, and Emily, like clearly she's not a dumb.
She can. See what's going on?
She's like, well, this isn't about Robbie starting to, you
know, starting to see that and Steve Carell with like, the best
delivery of the best line that you could say in that scene, He
says, here's the deal. She's honestly, here's what
happened. She's an alcoholic.
Oh, and her reaction is so good too.
Yeah, he like whispers as if like they're not the only people
in the room. As if like she might not be able
to hear. And then just her screaming just
like, oh, she's so good. Just him still refusing to
acknowledge what actually happened.
Just blame it on her. She's an alcoholic, like oh,
that scene so good. I love the you're bigger than
the gap. Yep, that's a good one.
Which that was a lot. They were.
The studio was asking them to cut that out of the movie
because I think the CEO of the studio was friends or had
connections with the CEO of the Gap.
I I bet. I'm sure I did.
Yeah. And so.
But they're like, we can't. It's too funny.
And it's, and it's too true.
Yeah. Too many dads are going to the
Gap. Yeah.
And like, it's so obvious that they shop at the Gap.
They used to hate the Gap growing up.
My mom would buy me Gap clothes and I was like this shit sucks.
I don't want to wear a gap shirt.
Jeans sucked, shirt sucked. I think they I think they may
have gotten better. They have.
Back in our childhood.
This was a bad time for the gap. I had this one fucking gap
shirt. Bright orange.
Oh. I I already know what you're
talking about. Giant Yeah, Navy blue stitched
on letters that said GAP. Oh yeah.
Like, I hate this shirt. Yeah, where it's nice.
It's just one of those things where it's like, how did, how
did it happen? How was the gap ever successful
if like I think? It's affordable.
It was nice clothes that were affordable I.
Think I don't. Know I wasn't I mean I was a
child. I wasn't buying the.
Clothes, you're right, but I mean, that's clearly like how it
had to work, but like it's so funny, like seeing cow in this
movie. He so clearly only shops at the
gap. Yeah, the big baggy jeans that
don't fit him that the stripe, the stripe black stripe shirt,
like just disguise. He looks awful.
Yeah. Now I guess that's why it also
helps like the makeover when it does happen because like, yeah,
he really did look like shit. But love, love the, you know,
the obvious, like turn around of like, you know, Steve Carell,
Cal gets to slap Jacob. Now this is going to be fun.
But then I see like. Steve Carell like.
Went for two slaps there. There's just one of those
things. I was like, damn, people love
hitting Ryan Gosling. Like, I'm sure you've heard of
the the Blade Runner story. What is it?
Maybe we've even talked about it.
It's like Harrison Ford, like actually punched Ryan Gosling on
set. Did you ever hear hear about
that? I don't think so.
I don't. Yeah, yeah, like.
They were on set and like in the movie of Blade Runner 2049, like
Harrison Ford's character, you know, punches him.
But like, Harrison Ford actually punched him.
Maybe I did hear that. It sounds, it's starting to
sound more familiar. Yeah.
They're like, I don't know, I think he's just.
A very slappable guy. I think some of the slaps is
Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell. Like the maybe the?
One in the, maybe the one in the.
Salon was. Improv because I saw, like, a
behind the scenes take of, like, him, slap him on the cheeks, and
then he's like Steve Carell, like does this.
And then they start laughing afterward.
And like, Ryan Gosling goes and hugs him.
Yeah, I think that might have been like an improv slap, just
because he did it twice before. It's pretty good.
Yeah, it's pretty good. Now.
This I mean. I love this movie, dude.
It's great. I love it.
Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling said that that it
was challenging. Filming all the bar scenes,
because they would start most of the time at like 8:00 AM in the
morning to start filming these scenes and there's music in the
scene of the bar. So Ryan Gosling has to talk over
the music. However, when you film a movie,
that can't be music in the background.
You need to clean audio, and they add the music afterwards.
So he had to, like, talk loud as if he were in a club at 8:00 AM
in the morning trying to pick up girls.
So those are pretty difficult. And I know he did a lot.
He read, like, a lot of pickup books.
He watched a pickup artist TV show to, like, learn the trade
of what these guys do, like the slimy kind of work they do to
try to get women. Like, he studied what these men
do so he could be better in the scenes.
They have books for that. Oh yeah, they got.
Books for everything they got like.
You can. You can.
Hire like coaches and and. Like guys, I've heard about the
coaches. You know what?
The books make sense. Yeah, there are coaches out
there, aren't there? Yeah, Yeah.
But I'm kind of a believer in like those who are not good at
what they do teach well. The coaches, I think a lot of
it's. Like philosophy of women's
brains. So it's kind of like manipulate
how to manipulate women that want to sleep with you.
Like that's how to make how to make yourself mysterious.
Yeah, and like. Identifying.
The type of women they are. So I've seen this guy.
I not really knew this guy, but I've seen this guy before and
I've heard him. I overheard him talking about he
used to be like a pickup coach. Yeah, he might still be.
I don't know. Yeah, I bet you do.
I actually don't know. He's like a business.
Guy and also did. I think his first.
Business was like pickup coach. His first client was you.
That's how I got my wife. But I overheard him talking.
About he was, I think he maybe. One of his like clients, like he
was going to coach him or something, he said like.
There's three types of women. This is what his like philosophy
was and you can like identify which type of women they are and
then you can say the different things that are like trigger
their brain to like like you more.
So it's just like weird manipulation with psychology to
try to get women to sleep with you.
Basically. I like it.
So you can you can hack. You can these guys.
Hack women's brains. Hack women's brains.
That's I mean. That's a hell of a pitch right
there. I will help you hack women's
brains. I mean, if you can't get any
women. Hire a coach and they'll give
you the cheat codes. That's what Cal does.
I mean, that's what. Jake, I keep calling them.
Cal, that's what Jacob does, yeah.
Yeah, Huh. I don't know.
I think you just need to be rich and handsome.
That also helps Jacob, too. You're a billionaire.
You could be the ugliest man in the world, Bill.
Belichick. Bill Belichick, Yes, going to
your old. Girlfriend.
Yeah, kind of like a. Cow and babysitter.
Relationship. Worse.
Actually legal maybe. Not worse because it's legal,
but that was a good. Catch.
See, that was a really. Good catch, you ain't getting me
twice. Man, you immediately had to do
the math. I've never seen you do math so
quick in your head, like, oh, wait, hold on.
No, yeah. Just cover my tracks here.
Well, I'm trying to think what? Else I really have on this
movie. I, I, I think it's just one of
those like everybody loves it. Every scene is really good.
There's there's two cool moments.
That I have about the filmmaking.
There's a nice detail when after the opening scene, once Emily
tells Cal that she's getting she's going to divorce him, she
wants a divorce. I like that she's the one
driving the car home because she's like driving their
relationship at this point like she's in control because she's
wanted to end it. Another cool moment is when
Jessica, which is that's the girl's name, right?
This the high school girl that likes cow.
Let's go back and look because I keep calling her the babysitter
and. She Jessica, Yeah, yeah.
OK, so Jessica, she goes up to. Her the other girl in high
school that hooks up with older men and she asks how do I do
that because she wants to try to hook up with cow and she tells
them about, you know, take. Send them naked pictures.
And make sure you don't look like a child when she says that.
And kind of it like registers for her.
She gets a light bulb moment and the door open.
Then it shines light on her face.
So it's like, you know, visually a light bulb moment.
However, the lights too bright and it like washes out her face
because it's like too big of a light bulb moment.
Like it's not a good light bulb moment.
It's not a good idea. No.
Yeah. It's an idea, but it's like, too
bright on her face. Where it's like, this is too
much, too much of an idea for you.
Yeah, I like that a lot too. Yeah, when she takes the.
First naked picture, like she immediately goes into the
instinct of a little girl or just a girl in high school
taking a yearbook picture. Yeah, it's the turn head smile.
Yeah. The other thing that I was
thinking of watching. This is that like, you know,
kind of the more messed. Up way of looking.
At it, but like Jessica is in love with Cal, like in love with
him and she's been she probably fell in love with him watching
him hang out with her dad, but also like watching him interact
with the kids. And so in like a more messed up
scenario, like in her head, like she probably wants to just
totally replace the mom, not just as cow's lover, but like as
a mother. And so like she sees Robbie and
his younger sister is like her kids because she does.
I mean, she's a babysitter, so for.
Nights she takes on the mother role, right?
So that's why she's like even more pissed off.
About Robbie falling in love with her is because like he's
not only like kind of, you know, it could be in the sense of like
this 13 year old boy, he's like kind of creepy.
He's weird. No, he's fucking up her fantasy,
you know, right. She's like you.
Can't be in love with me, I. See you as my son because I'm in
love with your father, right? Right.
You know, and like, so like, that kind of messes up the
fantasy. There might be why she always
says you make. You're making me feel.
Uncomfortable. Yeah.
It's not because of the age difference, it's because she.
Literally looks at him as like not even a little brother, but
like as a son. I think in this movie.
Leo Tipton. Is Jessica, that's her name.
And Emma Stone, they're like, I think they're three days apart
in age, OK, but the movie, they're like years apart, yeah,
character wise. Which is funny like but.
They're they were literally the same age, same exact age.
I mean, think about it. We just saw Emma Stone.
Yeah, I. Just saw, I guess it's been like
5 years from Superbad to this movie.
Maybe six years, 5, But like, she just got done playing a high
schooler. Yeah.
Now she's playing like somebody that's, you know, about to pass
the bar, which means she's probably like, yeah, like 2526
So Cal. Had had her at. 17, He's
probably in his 40s. He's 44.
I know the wife. Is 44 OK and their high school
sweethearts? Met in middle schools, they're
probably the same exact same exact age.
She's thirties, 30. He's 44, had her at 17.
I. Do let me.
Yeah, let's do. This math in our head real
quick. Have you seen?
That guy on Instagram, Kibeho. No, all right.
Real quick, it's a there's this like big.
Content creator, but he has like this friend Kibeho who's like
special needs guy super sweet damn it I've seen this yes and
he's like. What's a?
1,000,000 * 1 And he's like, he's like let me think, is it
whatever he gives the number? He's like Nope.
He's like OK, let me think, let me calculate.
He like sneakily puts up his phone and like does a calculate.
He's like oh I got it. And then he, like, reads off his
phone but doesn't think that anybody can notice that he's
doing it. Yeah.
And the guy's telling me he's like, put the phone.
Down like you're using your calculator he's like Oh yeah,
I'm sorry I I yeah, yeah, like I was no, I was just.
I remembered I had to check something.
Yeah, I love those videos. Those videos.
That's a sweet guy. But.
So she's 27, Emma Stone in this movie.
Her character Hannah is 27. All right, we're good.
Late 20s, early 30s. We we're good at that.
We're good mental math without even doing the math.
Mental math. Yeah.
We did that in our heads. Yeah, I didn't pull up my phone.
Yeah, I had a text. I had a.
Response to Yeah, I had something else to get to.
I don't know. Whatever happened to Robbie
Weaver? That kid kills it in this movie
and then I feel like I've never seen him in anything again.
Jonah Bobo. I've never seen Jonah Bobo and
anything. Again.
I guess that's just the truth. What else?
Where is he? American musician and former
child actor. Interest.
He's now plays, does music. OK, Zathora.
Seen that movie? No, I watched it as a kid.
Good. Yeah, it was cool.
He had to have been like a baby. They're like, they're like house
goes. To space disconnect is that?
Who is that? The Fox and the Hound.
Too. OK, so not.
Not a. Not a child actor anymore, he
did so good in this. OK, All right.
Well, there's that I. Hope his music's going well,
because let me tell you something, pal, you had it.
You had it 13,000. Followers on IG.
It's not a huge music star. Hope he's happy.
Hope this movie. Made him lots and lots of money,
set him up for a music. Career.
There you go. Is that him?
That's him on the right, Yeah.
No this. That's him on the.
Right. Yeah, yeah.
Might get him on right and left. Yeah, that's him on the.
Right anyways. Shall we rate crazy Stupid love?
Let's do it. All right.
What you got for crazy? Stupid love.
All right, so we'll break it down.
You know, we do acting, writing, editing, cinematography and
enjoyability. And I think I also want to
clarify, like the rating is for more of like this is what this
movie is for genre. You know, I'm not comparing this
to like The Godfather. Yeah, you know, but.
For ROM com. Like, this is what I think, OK,
acting 10 out of 10. Yep, star-studded cast.
These guys are heavy hitters in everything that they've ever
done and ever will do. So whether it's a ROM com or
Ryan Gosling or Steve Carell or Emma Stone are forced to just
cry a whole movie they're going to deliver.
You always get the best out of them.
It's very refreshing. So 10 out of 10 for acting
writing 10 out of 10. I think for a ROM com, we kind
of talked about this. The fact that there's a plot
twist delivered in such a shocking way just goes to show
like they were. This is a very special script.
I can't imagine like getting this one and being like, Oh my
God, this is so good. This is such a great script.
This is such a good story. There are very real moments.
This isn't corny in any way. Pickup culture is definitely a
thing at this point. Yep, 2011.
I mean, it just it is and I, it always has been, but like,
rampant. It's a dying breed nowadays.
Yeah, like. Women are they're like it.
Well, and. I think a lot.
Of guys are starting to realize it.
It kind of leaves you empty. Yep, it does.
It's. Yeah.
Like, it's not. It's really not that cool.
A lot of people are starting to like, come to that
understanding. 2011 people were fucking anyways.
Writing 10 out of 10, editing 9 out of 10.
It's great. Great pace.
Yeah, great pace. I don't think you're there's
ever a moment. We're just like, oh, like can we
get to it now? You're enjoying every scene,
every line delivered great. So editing 9 out of 10
cinematography 7 out of 10. It's solid ROM com.
They're not going for anything. Although the bright idea moment.
Yeah, I like that Yep. So there's just yeah, slow MO
usage. Yeah, there's, there's some.
Purpose with the camera. And then enjoyability 10 out of
10. I, like I said, this is one of
those where I literally did it a few weeks ago and I've done it.
I've seen this movie so many times and maybe not even just
sitting down and watching the whole thing, but like you kind
of throw it on and it's just, it's a real friendly movie.
So enjoyability 10 out of 10. So I've got crazy, stupid love
for a 9.2 out of 10. Nice.
A damn good movie. I have acting. 10 out of 10, of
course, plus they improv in this movie too, so that, you know, is
a riding thing as well. And it's improv is all good.
I think the whole bed, the pillow talk between Emma Stone
and Ryan Gosling, that was all improv.
They just like kind of lay down there.
I think they gave him a few drinks and then just like
throwing scenarios at him and at him, just like improv riding. 10
out of 10. Again.
Like you're saying plot twist. Don't expect a plot twist in
this movie. And it happens and you're like,
whoa, that's crazy. So great in that movie.
In this movie I mean editing 8 out of 10, solid pace
cinematography 8 out of 10 because of the there's some good
attention behind the shots. It's cool but it also it's
pretty standard and enjoyability 10 out of 10.
I also love this movie for a total score of 9.2.
How's that work out though? What you give?
Oh, it's because yeah, the 9:00. And seven.
OK, wow, big math episode for someone big math guys.
Yeah, but. No crazy stupid love bro I.
It's it's always going to be a good go to.
It sucks. I mean, I think everybody's seen
it. So like never going to be able
to show anybody this for like the first time.
Like it's always a it's always telling.
But like even my parents love this movie.
It's for everybody. Well, here's the thing they
could have. Made this way.
Raunchier movie like in pickup, but like I think it's kind of
nice that they. Kept it like you could watch.
This as like a little family movie.
You don't see it. There's no sex scenes.
Yeah, there's, I mean, there's like the lead up to the sex
scene, but you don't see the sex scene.
Yeah, there is the teacher saying like I went downtown.
For 45 minutes, Yeah, like, you know.
If you're a kid. You don't really know what that
means, but like, whatever. But like, as an adult, you're
like, that's funny, 'cause he was 'cause he was shy, nervous.
Yeah, he's nervous, 'cause he was nervous.
And then, yeah. Emma Stoneman, Like, we're going
to bang. Yeah.
You know, it's funny, but like it could have been raunchier.
But Steve Carell, he'd already done a four year old version.
Yep, he'd already he'd already gotten his funny rated R out of
the way. He's like, I'm I'm Michael Scott
in the office. OK, can't just be having sex
like with a bunch of girls on screen.
And this movie is proof the end of love romance.
Movie, you don't need to show the sex scene.
We know what happens. You don't got to show it
exactly. Nobody really enjoys them.
Exactly. At least I don't I've.
Yeah, I've. I've I've been on that.
On that team, yeah, me, just like, yeah, you.
Literally don't have to. You don't.
Literally don't have to get it, just fade.
Just turn the camera. You know what's going on, you
can lead that Yucca make out, whatever, but like I feel like
it's slow or. Some people are starting to pick
up on it. Like again.
I watched the drama last night. It's nice.
In that, in that, in that regard.
Like I'm talking like half a second and that's it.
I. See like 1.
Little cut and it's like, OK, yeah, I saw a post and it's kind
of cool because. India is obviously married now
to Tom Holland. Or they got married?
I think so. Pretty sure they got married
nice and they're respecting. Their I think is Robert
Pattinson. Married.
I don't know. I know.
I think he's got a kid on the way.
Her name's Suki Waterhouse. Suki Waterhouse?
I don't know. Yep.
Oh, not going to fish. Not officially confirmed to be
married, but. They have sparked strong secret
marriage rumours as of March 2026.
He's a low key guy so I would imagine he would.
Want to keep that pretty under wraps but during the the
romance? Movie and during the press
they're not like all over each other because like sometimes in
press like this you know you in the photo shoots on red carpet
you like act like you are dating to kind of like sell the yeah
what Jacob Lordy and Margaret Bobby she's married.
And Jacob Lordy's living the dream.
But in Jacob Lordy's. David Lindhog.
In real life, yeah, yeah, but. In their press, like they're not
like hugging on each other. They stand next to each other
like high 5, maybe do like a little side hug but it's not.
They're not like pretending like they're in a relationship
because of their characters were, which is just a nice
thing. They're both respecting their
relationships. I'm glad that you're saying all
this. We yeah, you got to go watch
that movie. We honestly need to do an
episode on it. Is that good?
It's good. It's a good movie.
All right. Good.
