Episode Date: November 6, 2018

In all their excitement, the lads forgot to do this guest segment with Dominic Corry. So here it is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello and welcome to Worst Idea of All Time, episode 34 and a half. We're back with Dominic Corrie for a segment that we forgot to do in the first bit, plus we ran super late anyway. So we've broken it out into another thing. It's pretty much pitched the movie. So it's pitched the movie to the execs. So I'm Adam Sandler. Well, yeah, I guess you are. You're the writer.

You are the writer of Grimes 2. You can be Adam Sandler, you can be anonymous writer. This film does not have a writer. Let's say that it does. Okay, so the pitch can't be, you just made a shitload of money with Grimes 1. It has to be of its own merits. That's absolutely correct.

Okay, so you know what's funny? Childhood friends, and when they all live in the same town, and then they have minor conflicts and a bit with a moose. You know how kids... Hey, hey, I'm interested. I need to hear more. Okay, okay, okay. So get a whole lot of famous people,

and then three of their close relatives. We'll chuck them in this movie and we can have a lot of fun with the idea that married couples don't have sex maybe. Or that some people have illegitimate children that they don't know about and it's funny when they meet them. Rob Reiner here. Executive from Sony, MGM. Gold Lionheart. Rob Reiner directed Stand By Me. Quite.

He's not that Rob Reiner. He's a different Rob Reiner. Rob Reinerstein. You wouldn't believe how often this happens. It happens all the time. It's really annoying. I have a quick question for you. Yeah, yeah.

You mentioned celebrities. What level of celebrity are we looking for here? Are we looking at Oprah Winfrey? Could we get Oprah Winfrey on the film? I'm just going to say two words, and I want you to say the first actress that comes to mind. Hot tamale. Well, I'm back to Oprah Winfrey.

No, no, I was trying to refer to Salma Hayek there. I think we can get her in. I'm in with her billionaire husband. there. I think we can get her in. I'm in with her billionaire husband. You believe we could get the Selma Hayek in this picture? I've got to tell you something really

unfortunate though. Rob Schneider's not available. What? He's busy with his sitcom. Rob! We love Rob Schneider. No, I'm sorry. I know he's the key to stuff like this. Have you seen The Animal? Have you seen either Deuce Bigelow's? I know they're great films, know he's the key to stuff like this. Have you seen The Animal? Have you seen either Deuce Bigelow's? I know, they're great films.

But he's just, he's busy with Rob. I greenlit Deuce Bigelow 2, Male Gigolo in Europe, or whatever it's called. I produce a lot of movies. If you're still on the fence, let me just tell this to you. 40-minute party finale, okay? All the characters Talk me through it As musicians Get this

Two of them Go as prince They have like an argument Yeah well you would Wouldn't you Yep And then Is it a funny argument

Do they say funny things Yeah One of them's like They do racial humour Oh About who's most light skinned Because you know Prince is kind of light skinned

This could taste well Very well It's kind of edgy It's quite edgy. Urban crowds. But just like we'll have this great finale where the main character

gets to show up his school bully and even though that would seemingly resolve the issues of not using your fists in conflict and stuff we're actually going to have

a whole bunch of frat guys turn up and it'll turn into a giant rumble but the band starts playing where this daughter who's just revealed herself to be an amazing singer'll turn into a giant rumble but the band starts playing where this daughter who's just revealed herself to be an amazing singer,

she sings along to this rumble where there's like kids and elderly people all pummeling each other. It's hilarious. This is a lot of stuff. I mean, you're going to have to do a lot of setting up,

a lot of intricate sort of setting up. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Don't need that. Now listen, I know you mentioned a band here and I don't want to chime in and sort of rain on your parade here,

but if we do get this thing done, if we get this project across the line, I kind of owe a favor to a few guys, and I wouldn't mind shoehorning them into that scene, if it's okay. Are you familiar with the Jay Giles band? Look, I was just going to say, I'm cool with that, but as long as Jay Giles doesn't come,

because I've got a long-standing conflict with him. All the other guys love him. Magic Dick, Danny Klein, Peter Wolfe, love him, but not Jay himself. What do you think about Seth Justman? We won't be able to call him. He's okay. He's an okay guy. Here's the situation.

Just okay, isn't he? Just man, just okay. Here's the situation. So they keep singing the Jay Giles songs, just no Jay Giles. Jay Giles has actually left the Jay Giles band. We've got the rest of the band as it exists. Can we call them the Jay Giles songs, just no Jay Giles. Jay Giles has actually left the Jay Giles band. We've got the rest of the band as it exists. Can we call them the Jay Giles band? We cannot contractually, for legal reasons, we can't call them the Jay Giles band.

If they're playing at the party, we'll just call them the party band. Oh, yeah. Well, okay, here's an interesting technicality. If you want to put it in the script, you can mention that they are the guys from the Jay Giles band. That's fine. If you want to get, let let's say David Spade's character to say that verbatim, that would be fine. But in the credit sequence

you're going to have to acknowledge them as the party band maybe. You know a lot, you know the intricacies about the Jay Giles band. As I say, there's a bit of a situation where I owe them a favour so this would really help me out if we could get them in. That correlates beautifully with the situation where I can't be in the same room as Jake.

Well, listen, I'm on board. I'm on board too. Cool. We've got a picture. Green light. All right. Let's make this thing. Thank you.

Okay. Cheers, Dominic, Corey. Goodbye. Goodbye.
