-I want to talk about this new movie "Velvet Buzzsaw."
I saw you on Netflix the other night
because I was watching something and then it said,
"If you like this, you're gonna like this thing."
Velvet Buzz-- -[ Laughs ]
-Really. I'm serious.
-I want to know what you watch on Netflix.
-What was I watching on Netflix?
-If you like this thing, you will like "Velvet Buzzsaw."
-Yeah, interesting because why,
it's about the art world and it's about murder and stuff.
Oh, you know what it might've been?
-It's a horror film.
-"Bandersnatch" maybe. -What? What is that?
-Oh, dude. You haven't seen "Bandersnatch"?
-Everyone is upset with me. [ Laughter ]
-Oh, dude, you're gonna freak out.
You're gonna love this. -Bosslogica?
-Bosslogica would love this, man. Are you kidding me?
You're gonna freak out. -Really?
-Oh, yeah, I think it's kind of the same deal.
-Do you just, like, keep me in a cave?
-"Black Mirror" is good. -Yeah.
You were waiting for me to say, "I don't know what that is."
Right? -No.
-Okay, cool. -I know you know what that is.
Because I would think that this reminds me of a similar thing.
-Okay, cool. -This story.
Well, I saw your face, and I like you very much.
I was with my wife as well.
And I saw your face, like, come into the screen.
You do this thing where you're right in the camera.
I never saw this Jake Gyllenhaal movie.
And I enjoyed it. I watched it. -Well, thank you very much.
-Well, basically, the idea is it's set in the art world.
And basically, I don't want to get into your name yet
because it's such a great name.
-Morf Vandewalt. [ Laughter ]
-Come on. What is going on with these names you're saying?
-That's a real name. -Bosslogic and Mors -- Moss --
No, Mort Van--
-It's Bosslogica and Morf Vandewalt.
-Morf Van-- Morf -- Your first name is Morf.
-Morf Vandewalt. [ Laughter ]
-Did you freak out --
Dude, did you freak out when you were Morf?
-Everyone else in the band is like...
You're laughing. Sorry. Yeah.
-Morf Vandewalt. -Morf Vandewalt, yeah.
-When you found out when you were playing --
first of all, you worked with this director before,
with "Nightcrawler." -Yeah, Dan Gilroy.
-Dude, you were -- I mean, obviously,
you were great in that, we all know.
[ Applause ]
You were crazy good in that. -Thank you.
-I don't know why you choose these crazy roles.
Just do a role where, like,
you're just relaxing for an hour and a half.
Just do a role where you're just, like,
lounging in a chair or something.
-Like what? -'Cause I feel bad for you
doing all these psychological crazy dramas.
I just feel bad. I worry about your brain.
-You just tell me what you want me to do
and I will try to do that.
-Do, like, a cartoon or something.
-[ High-pitched voice ] Okay. -You will?
-[ Normal voice ] Yeah. -It's just fun.
-That was my cartoon voice. -Oh, that was it?
-[ High-pitched voice ] Okay, yeah.
-You can't do Mickey Mouse. -That sounds good.
-Yeah, that's good. I'll watch it either way, yeah.
But wait. So basically, you're in the art world.
And if you buy this artist's paintings -- if you like gross
and you spend money and all this and use it in the wrong way,
the painting comes to life and kills you.
-Yeah. Basically, yeah. -I mean, fantastic.
"Velvet Buzzsaw." -Yeah, I play an art critic.
And he is pretty high up there in the art world.
You know, when he gives a review,
it kind of can make or break an artist.
And so, yeah, everybody -- the art gets its revenge on people
who try and misuse it, yeah.
And it's sort of all about how we value art.
Like, do we value it because how much it's worth
in terms of money or that we like it? Yeah.
-I'm such more in the "I like it" world.
-Yes.
-Because that's why I don't have an expensive collection.
-Yeah. Yeah.
-Expensive posters like "Mad" magazine.
-Oh, my God. I have "Mad" magazine too.
-You do? -Yeah, I love "Mad" magazine.
-Me too. I love it, too. -Yeah.
-Have you ever been on the cover?
-No. [ Laughter ]
-Hello, your dream's about to come true, dude.
Come on out. No, I'm just joking.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, my God! Oh, my God! What? Oh my God!
-I'm sorry, sorry, sorry. -Oh, man.
-But next time.
-I thought I was on "Ellen" for a second.
[ Laughter ]
-I want to show everyone a clip. Here's --
-Alfred E. Newman walks out. Oh, my God!
-I will surprise you.
I'll get Ellen to help too.
Ellen, let's help surprise him. Get him on "Mad" magazine.
I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Jake Gyllenhaal in "Velvet Buzzsaw."
Take a look at this.
-They were surprised to hear Dease's art was being sold.
Apparently, he left explicit instructions
that it all be destroyed!
-What are you saying?
-Stop selling Dease!
-It's an eight-figure collection,
and you want me to stop selling over some spirit.
-I am writing an article about this.
About Dease, his past, his methods,
everything that has gone down.
-Well, you'll kill your career.
-Get rid of it.
Box it all. All of it away.
That's what I'm doing.

-All art is dangerous, Morf.
