ABOUT GREAT PLACES TO EAT OUGHT
AROUND TOWN AND MICHELLE DOES
SUCH A GREAT JOB COVERING THEM.
>> Jason: UNFORTUNATELY, MOVIE
THEATERS STILL CLOSED BUT YOU
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH
SOMETHING NEW RIGHT NOW
STREAMING IN YOUR LIVING ROOM.
JOINING ME IS GREG RUSSELL.
WHAT’S GOING ON?
LET’S TALK ABOUT A NEW RAUNCHY
COMEDY, BUDDY GAMES.
AND DIRECTED BY JOSH DUHAMEL.
>> THAT’S CLOSE.
AND THIS IS BASED OFF OF REAL
LIFE FOR HIM.
HE AND HIS BUDDIES SINCE COLLEGE
GET TOGETHER ONCE A YEAR TO DO
WEIRD CHALLENGES, AND SO HE
DECIDED, WHAT THE HECK, MAY AS
WELL WRITE A MOVIE ABOUT IT.
IT’S ABOUT THE GANG GETTING
TOGETHER.
THERE WAS AN UNFORTUNATE
ACCIDENT TO ONE OF THE GUYS.
THEY DIDN’T DO IT FOR A COUPLE
OF YEARS BUT DECIDED TO GET BACK
TOGETHER.
I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT THE FILM.
AND HERE WE GO!
>> AND DO YOU EVER GROW UP?
[LAUGHTER]
>> WE DON’T.
AND IT’S FUNNY THAT YOU ASKED
THAT BECAUSE EVERY YEAR WE DO
THIS THING.
IT’S SOMETHING THAT WE DO THE
LAST 20 YEARS OR SO.
AND YOU’RE RIGHT, WE’RE ALL
MID-40s NOW, BUT IT DOESN’T
MATTER.
EVERY YEAR, WE REVERT BACK TO
OUR 16-YEAR-OLDSELVES.
AND YOU’RE RIGHT, I DON’T THINK
WE TRULY GO UP.
>> AND YOUR GUY, BECAUSE OF
SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO HIM
THAT NO MAN WOULD EVER WANT
HAPPEN TO HIM, AT A PLAYFUL
EVENT WITH THEIR FRIENDS, AND
NOW HE IS LOOKING AT HIS BUDDIES
DIFFERENT.
>> HE’S GOT SUCH HUBRIS IN THE
BEGINNING, LIKE I’M THE CHAMP.
AND THINKING HE NEEDS TO BE
TAKEN DOWN A NOTCH.
>> HE’S LIKE THIS PILLAR, BUT
HE’S BACK TO BEING 10 YEARS OLD
WHEN HE’S WITH HIS BUDDIES.
LIKE A BATMAN MASK AND ALL THIS
OTHER STUFF.
>> THE KID IS ALWAYS THERE.
THE KID IS ALWAYS THERE WITH YOU
AND SAME HERE WITH ME.
AND SAME WITH DOC.
THE GUY IS A CHIROPRACTOR AND
GETS TOGETHER WITH ALL THE BOYS
AND THEY DO THIS COMPETITION AND
HE BECOMES A CHILD AGAIN.
>> Jason: HOW MANY REELS FOR
THIS ONE, GREG?
>> THREE, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE.
IT’S DEFINITELY A GUYS MOVIE.
AND DAX SHEPHERD IS ALSO IN IT.
YOU’LL WATCH IT AND SAY, WITH
YOU NEVER GROW UP.
>> Jason: "HALF BROTHERS,"
WHAT’S THIS ABOUT?
>> THIS ONE GUY WHO WAS BORN IN
MEXICO.
HIS FATHER LEFT THE FAMILY TO
COME TO THE UNITED STATES TO
WORK WHEN HE WAS VERY YOUNG AND
NEVER CAME BACK.
AS IT TURNS OUT, HE FINDS OUT
THE FATHER HAD PASSED AWAY AND
THAT HE HAD A HALF BROTHER
SO WHEN HE WENT TO THE FATHER’S
MEMORIAL SERVICE, HE WOUND UP
MEETING HIS HALF BROTHER, A
COMPLETE POLAR OPPOSITE OF HIM.
AND IT’S A TRIP ALMOST LIKE A
TREASURE HUNT WHERE THE FATHER
LEFT A BUNCH OF MESSAGES FOR
THEM FOLLOW TO FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED IN HIS LIFE.
I TALKED TO BOTH OF THOSE GUYS
ABOUT IT.
AND HERE WE GO.
YOU’VE GOT EVERYTHING: COMEDY,
SERIOUSNESS, ADVENTURE, PRETTY
MUCH YOU COULD WANT IN A MOVIE.
AND FOR YOUR CHARACTER, THE
BIGGEST ADVENTURE WAS REALIZING, I’VE GOT A BROTHER.
I’VE GOT A BROTHER.
>> YEAH, I GOT A BROTHER AND I
ALSO NEED TO WORK A LOT ON
MYSELF.
THIS CHARACTER IS A SUCCESSFUL
MEXICAN AVIATION OWNER AND HE’S
SUCCESSFUL BUT HE NEEDS TO WORK
A LOT ON HIS RELATIONSHIPS AND
HIS WAY OF SEEING THE WORLD, AND
HE HAS NO IDEA HE’S GONNA FIND A
TEACHER IN THESE REALLY
OVER-THE-TOP HALF BROTHER HE HAS
IN AMERICA.
SO THAT’S REALLY ONE OF THE
THINGS ON THE JOURNEY.
>> AND YOU’RE CHARACTER, CONNER,
YOU RUN INTO EACH OTHER IN THE
COFFEE SHOP.
AND I’M THINKING, I HOPE THIS
GUY COMES BACK.
[LAUGHTER]
LITTLE DID I KNOW HE WOULD BE
THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE.
AND YOU GOT ALONG SO WELL.
AND THE OTHER COSTAR, TALK ABOUT
THE GOAT.
>> I HATE HIM.
[LAUGHTER]
>> HE’S SUCH A DIVA.
NOBODY KNOWS.
THAT GUY, HE ACTED LIKE HE WAS
NUMBER ONE ON THE SET.
>> HE HAD BETTER FOOD THAN US.
>> Jason: SO WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> I WAS UPSET I DIDN’T GET TO
INTERVIEW THE COAT.
THIS IS A THREE, MOVING UP.
IT WAS HEARTWARMING WHEN THEY
GET TO THE END OF IT, AND IT
WILL REMIND YOU OF DUE DATE WITH
ROBERT DOWNEY, JR. AND ZACH
GALIFIANAKIS.
AND YOU CAN SEE THIS ONE AT THE
FORD WYOMING DRIVE-IN THIS
WEEKEND, IT’S SHOWING THERE.
