The whole segment, as transcribed
wesley you like this the working title of this film was grilled cheese because kugler um was used to making complicated dishes he wanted this to be an enjoyable easy eating experience so he named it grilled cheese and all the in all the script demo the finest free air he could find too apex mountain hard to do when it's movie just happened but ryan kugler i find it hard to believe he's gonna have more power than he has right now and if he does in a couple years god bless him but this is about as much juice as you're gonna have for a director i think but think about like who's not making his next movie he could be like i'm gonna make a movie about van's left kneecap and they're like here's 100 million yeah but think about i just think like how they're talking about they were talking about this movie i know but now that this happened it's he can do whatever the fuck you are 90 sight unseen at this for this really yeah he could literally go to them right now and said i need 250 million i don't know let me even tell you the idea 250 i'm like it's not it's not we're not doing superhero we're not doing this i need 250 million dollars and we're gonna go make a movie and they were they would say it's a movie about the donaldsonville high girls and yeah 1992 right a cheerleading squad wouldn't it be 92 i'm not you know but 96 donaldsonville high uh michael b jordan apex mountain hmm yeah i don't think no no i think so for sure i think for where his career is so far yes yes yeah all right fine he's just i think it is the face of a 500 million where does he go what does he do does he have another level to it does he have his version of the revenant i think we're at the so okay you'll you'll get this you know how because i'm white no because you love nba basketball okay but that's probably because you're white but like i love watching them dunk dad oh they jumped so high you should have you should have seen the chief what he was able to do um so you know how a player has all of these they have all nba they have all star seasons yeah then like 26 27 is the official beginning of their prime yeah so i think this is the official beginning of michael b jordan's prime i said that earlier i totally agree i'm not saying these next five six years will be this is going to be it now i'm not saying he hadn't been all nba i'm not saying he hadn't been all star i'm saying this is the official beginning of his prime it's like a little hakeem in the early 90s for the rockets where it all starts coming together and he has that crazy stretch wins two titles i don't disagree i'm just like i feel this way about so many people timothy chalamet is is pac-man right now any script is on a table anywhere like his people are gobbling up and whatever gets excreted then it's still intact is what gets picked up and done right like i just feel like show me the scripts i keep i but that that changes all the time because like in the goldman books which are right over your red shoulder but he always talks about like who has that alpha c with the scripts yes but it it flips it does change it does change but i feel like there are so few people now who are viable both in the minds of the public and in the sort of books of the industry that i definitely think this is the moment for people to be giving michael b jordan or offering michael b jordan really interesting things to do um well he's also at the age now where he can play any adult role right he'd be in a sports movie right now he could be the cop who's been on the force for a while he could be a detective like you name it he he's not too old to be anything yet okay i just i i'm not here to disagree about vampire movies apex mountain no i can't know no i'd have to think about it so what is it what do you mean what's what's the apex of vampire movies oh it's probably that period where dracula i mean no which dracula stoker's dracula i think it's that period where well here's probably late 70s here's what i'll say i feel like this is a great moment in in american life or like maybe even considering where europe is right now um to really be thinking about what these vampires are offering in these movies if you think about robert eggers nosferatu yeah and and the way that that eggers is arguing for a vampirism that is hard to resist because it is just too sexy to say no to right the power of the vampire is too strong to not want to have sex with and so you give yourself completely over to him it's one of that nosferatu is one of the most convincing sort of political psychological arguments for vampirism i've ever seen i think what's he wants to bring vampirism back well it's here we're watching it happen and i think that this is like to be a conciliary to the vampires just go for any body part um well in this metaphor stop going for the next you don't you don't want it you don't want to be anywhere near these people okay but i will but i also think that googler has also found a very appealing way i think vampire this is definitely apex mountain moment for vampire culture as metaphor okay it's the apex mountain certainly for black vampires black how about twin brother movies you don't think so have you seen blackula i've seen black i've seen i've seen vampire and brooklyn vampire in brooklyn but i would say it was between this and that movie is bad oh blade okay but this is not about but okay fine you're this is fair uh not enough black vampires though right eddie tried during his worst part of his career my guy uh twin brother movies maybe twin movies this this is the most successful is this the highest grossing twin movie yeah almost certainly with twin leads yeah for sure yeah uh hailey stan stanfield steinfeld steinfeld yeah probably can i say it hailey steinfeld uh yes for sure for sure so far i think there there might be another moment for pickled garlic juice yes cunnilingus advice oh cunnilingus advice can't remember a better cunnilingus advice scene in the movie no we're not doing better than this one just look for that button well i'm sure i'm going to say never because i'm sure there's one i'm missing but i can't think of it the blues i'm gonna go no haints but the blue well let me think about this the blues and movies for sure right like the blues as they would say more better blues but that's a jazz movie this is like they wouldn't say more better blues oh uh i think this might be let's think about the blues let's think about this this is definitely at least in the movies this is the this is the this is the blues this is a great blues movie how about drooling best drool scene ever but there are several good drool scenes in there this is a good drooling movie yeah movie characters named cornbread probably yes i don't think cornbread roll on me has really had a long shelf life no um all right cruiser hanks so we're talking about for remick can be for any role you want oh wow but obviously can't be for certain roles cruz i was about to say it can't be for any role cruz would kind of fucking kill it as remick cruz yeah would so he's played it fucking remick he's played remick that's why we know he this is the better remick mid-90s cruz this would have been like the best part of his career right now he did fuck up to me as i did not like that at all because that's not what i'm talking about no
