00:00Now, this is an independent film.
00:02Day 8, Chuck and Buck, shot on mini-DV.
00:06I don't know if you remember the boom of 2000.
00:10Bamboozled, tape, dancer in the dark, Chuck and Buck.
00:13That kept going on, even into like Puffy Chair and Inland Empire.
00:17But in 2000, it was all the rage.
00:21And if you ever see this, and then watch the trailer, it is crazy.
00:26The trailer is not transferred.
00:27The trailer is straight up movie lighting, mini-DV.
00:32This was transferred to film.
00:33Like most of the ones I just said.
00:35One of my favorite movies of all time.
00:38It freaks people out.
00:39I don't know if I should stick to the fun, childlike whimsy.
00:43The oodly, oodly, oodly, oodly, oodly, oodly, oodly, oodly, oodly, fun, fun, fun.
00:48Or if I should dip into the dark and psychological.
00:52Mike White is a genius.
00:54So many minds behind this.
00:57The stars of this are Mike White and Chris Weitz.
01:00Two of the biggest names in Hollywood.
01:03Dude made a Star Wars.
01:05And he's White Lotus.
01:07My favorite.
01:08Miguel Artero directed this right after he made Star Maps.
01:12Paul Weitz is in this.
01:13Chris Weitz's brother.
01:15Producing partner.
01:16Writing partner.
01:17And he's at the best role.
01:19I don't even want to give away any of his lines.
01:21And this was made.
01:23Let's see.
01:24So American Pie was huge from the Weitzers.
01:28Blew up.
01:29Turned him into millionaires.
01:30But this must have been shot while they were editing.
01:35Because American Pie is 99.
01:36This is 2000.
01:37But I think this was shot.
01:39This was shot before American Pie fame.
01:41I'm telling you.
01:42In front of the camera.
01:43Behind the camera.
01:44It's like anyone who touched Chuck and Buck.
01:47Has just went on to bigger and better things.
01:50The oodly song is the best thing in the world.
01:53This was a favorite of the Broken Spoons.
01:56I think this might have glued the Broken Spoons together.
01:59We would watch this.
02:00People would walk out.
02:02People would say.
02:03Fuck this movie.
02:04You guys are fucked up.
02:06And they would leave.
02:07And we.
02:08I'd stare over at Blaze Dog.
02:09And we'd look over at Jake.
02:10And my brother Ryan.
02:11And we're like.
02:12Dude.
02:13Chuck and Buck for life.
02:14I forgot to look this up.
02:16Content unavailable.
02:18Well if you can find it.
02:19I'll talk to you about Chuck and Buck.
02:21This is going to be an impossible short.
02:23I need to make a.
02:25What do they call it?
02:26The book report channels.
02:28A video essay.
02:29Bookman's $5 used.
02:32I would have bought this for.
02:34They could have added a zero to it.
02:36Especially on my Bookman shopping spree days.
02:38I was doing full time production.
02:40And full time construction.
02:42I would have paid $100.
02:44Do you remember Kim Kelly is my friend?
02:46That episode of Freaks and Geeks was written by Mike White.
02:49This is kind of Kim Kelly is my friend.
02:52Except for it's a homoerotic misogynistic love story.
02:55Right after this he wrote The Good Girl.
02:59And I feel like a bunch of people.
03:01And then he went on to like.
03:03You know School of Rock.
03:04Natural Libre.
03:06And the whole world knew who he was.
03:08But back then.
03:09It was just two little PG-13 MTV movies.
03:13Orange County and Dead Man on Campus.
03:16And Freaks and Geeks and Chuck and Buck.
03:17And then Good Girl.
03:18And he was still this indie little weirdo.
03:21And then.
03:23How long is that?
03:25Nine minutes.
03:26Nine minutes for a freaking short.
03:28It's like a homoerotic misogynistic love story.
03:31Well it is.
03:33What it is.
03:34I don't know.
03:34You guys don't know.
03:38I don't know.
03:39I don't know.
03:40So.
03:40Bye.
03:41Bye.
03:41Bye.
03:42Bye.
03:42Bye.
03:53Bye.
03:54Bye.
04:03Bye.
