Transcript

00:00Keep the change.

00:01Hi, doggie.

00:02You're my favorite customer.

00:03The Room is a strange, ironic success story.

00:08Oh my God, Tommy!

00:09Woo!

00:11I wasn't a Room fan.

00:14It wasn't until Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell's book,

00:18The Disaster Artist, came out,

00:20and I thought, this looks really interesting.

00:22It was about Hollywood,

00:24but it was the story of these misfits.

00:28This town, Greg.

00:30They don't understand me.

00:34Wish we could just make our own movie.

00:42A great idea.

00:44I think the real Greg thought he was going to do this movie,

00:48The Room, and that it would be quickly forgotten.

00:52Well, in fact, 13 years later,

00:54and the thing that everybody knows Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau for

00:58is The Room.

00:58People would always ask me, like, how did this happen?

01:01Like, why did it happen?

01:03The story was so much more about just, like, this bad movie.

01:07The movie was really about, like, this friendship.

01:11We are going to die.

01:12We are going to die.

01:15Together.

01:17And so then I went to a room screening.

01:19And so that's when I finally understood.

01:23Oh.

01:23Take care, let's go.

01:25beam it.

01:25Let's go.

01:26Do you remember?

01:27Take care.

01:28Take care.

01:29Take care.

01:29Okay.

01:29Take care.
