What up?
It's your boys. - You know what I'm saying?
The Bodega Boys in the building. Desus and Mero.
- This is Oscar season. - That's right.
So we're going to talk to New Yorkers,
see if they have the acting bug inside of them.
Or if they even know what the fuck is nominated for a best
film award, Emmy for.
Right.
Because we are--
the Directorial Boys.
Are you guys familiar with the movies
that are nominated for the Oscars this year?
Not really.
So you're excited about the Oscars?
- No. - No?
Have you seen "Parasite?"
- No, I have not. - You didn't see "Little Women?"
- Not yet. - You not "Little Women" hive?
Bro-- - Yo, come on, son.
All my real G's watched "Little Women."
That's what we bang with. You know what I'm saying?
Women, dog.
Like, that patriarchy.
How's it going? Nice to meet you.
Yo, Dan.
What up, Dan.
I like that Dan already looks like an actor.
Hell yeah.
Dan looks like a Netflix show I don't watch,
but all my friends watch and keep
telling me to watch the shit.
Dan looks like Michael Cera if Michael Cera got pussy.
Are you familiar with the movies
that are nominated this year for Oscars?
Quite a few of them, yeah.
I don't think the acting was particularly good, but--
- Oh. - Oh.
I mean, it wasn't bad.
Do you feel like you could do better?
- Don't get me wrong. - Oh.
- Oh. - This is a perfect opportunity.
- Oh, wow. - Here's your chance.
So we're asking people to recreate scenes
from these huge Oscar movies.
Hello?
Is that Frank?
Yes.
Hi, Frank.
This is Jimmy Hoffa.
Hi, Frank.
This is Jimmy Hoffa.
Yeah, yeah.
Glad to meet you.
What if instead of Hoffa, he's calling Jay-Z?
All right, let's go. - Boom.
Perfect. - Is that Frank?
It's ya boy, Hov.
Yes.
Hi, Frank.
Yo, I heard you paint houses.
Yes.
Ooh, "Little Women."
"Little Women."
I am literally a little woman.
There you go.
You mind yourself, dearie.
Someday you'll need me.
You mind yourself, dearie.
One day you'll need me, and you'll
wish you had behaved better.
So fuck that, I don't need no man.
OK, hold on, hold on, hold on.
It's "Little Women."
It's not Tyler Perry presents "Little Women."
Right now I'm seeing Mero in drag with fake titties going,
oh, no, no. - "Hallelu-yer."
- There you go. - You know what I'm saying?
I'll need you to tone that down.
Heller?
People used to tell me that you were too
selfish to be a great artist.
People used to tell me that you
were too selfish to be a great artist,
and I used to defend you.
They were absolutely right.
How was it?
I felt it.
I need anger.
That was anger.
I need you to pretend you are on the six train.
Do it again.
People used to tell me--
[LAUGHTER]
I need big Maury show energy from you.
I need you to be like, he's your deadbeat baby father.
All right.
And I want you to be like, yeah, that might be my baby,
but it doesn't look like me, so I'm in staying it in my life.
And just to fuck around, we're going to swap
it and break gender norms.
You know what I'm saying?
I can't believe I have to know you forever!
Oh, you're fucking sane!
I can't believe I have to know you forever!
[SHOUTING]
Now the super's at the door like, hey, papi, stop.
Hey, papi, what the fuck?
Now you have a hole in the wall, papi.
Yo, 4B, keep it down. [INTERPOSING VOICES]
What the fuck? Y'all punching walls over there?
What the fuck y'all doing?
Come on, my baby's trying to sleep.
So you're in 1917--
Yes.
And you have to get to the thing
at the end that they're going to, which is-- the war?
I don't know.
You're now running across, uh--
Dunkirk.
There's-- there's rifle fire.
Rifle fire. - All right.
It's World War I. - Yo.
You're British, so run British.
- That's right. - Run British.
There you go. - Oh, there you go.
- Perfect. - Boom!
- Oh, boom! - Rat!
Oh, there's a rat!
You're going, oh, my god!
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[SHOUTING]
All right, stop, wait.
Because of Brexit, you gotta show a passport here to get
to the next country, sir.
Yeah.
[SHOUTING] - Watch out!
Oh!
[CLANGING]
Oh, watch out!
That's a German.
Ah! - And scene.
Beautiful. Wonderful.
Wonderful. - Thank you.
A marriage story.
Yo, a Bronx marriage story.
It's not even called "Marriage Story" anymore.
It's called Weddings And Shit.
Juliard, eat a dick.
My man right here does not need you.
He does not need you. - Thank you, Dan.
Thank you.
