Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:30,113 --> 00:00:33,074
Yo. Hey. What is so important?
2
00:00:33,075 --> 00:00:35,368
Why couldn't you tell me whatever
this is over the phone, huh?
3
00:00:35,369 --> 00:00:38,704
'Cause I wanted to see your
stupid face when I told you.
4
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:41,666
Okay. You know that teaser
poster we released yesterday?
5
00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:43,544
Yeah. The Kool-Aid one, yeah?
6
00:00:44,545 --> 00:00:47,463
It has gotten more
positive online engagement
7
00:00:47,464 --> 00:00:53,261
than any teaser poster released by
anyone in the last five fucking years!
8
00:00:53,262 --> 00:00:54,971
It's fucking destroying.
9
00:00:54,972 --> 00:00:58,391
- Wait, are you serious right now?
- I am fucking dead serious.
10
00:00:58,392 --> 00:01:00,226
- I'm fucking dead serious, man. Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
11
00:01:00,227 --> 00:01:02,603
How is this happening?
12
00:01:02,604 --> 00:01:04,437
You know, I think it's
just the perfect storm
13
00:01:04,438 --> 00:01:06,899
of nostalgia, kitsch,
irony and stupidity.
14
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:08,818
Fucking people are just loving
15
00:01:08,819 --> 00:01:10,319
- the fucking Kool-Aid right now.
- Oh, my God.
16
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,196
- Oh, yeah!
- Oh, yeah!
17
00:01:12,197 --> 00:01:15,199
- Yeah! Oh, yeah.
- Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,870
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
19
00:01:18,662 --> 00:01:20,371
- Yeah!
- We're gonna make a billion dollars!
20
00:01:20,372 --> 00:01:22,707
We're gonna make a
fucking billion dollars!
21
00:01:22,708 --> 00:01:25,001
- Do you wanna make out right now?
- We can't do that anymore.
22
00:01:25,002 --> 00:01:26,961
- Are you sure?
- We said we wouldn't.
23
00:01:26,962 --> 00:01:29,797
- We're gonna be fucking rich!
- We're gonna make a billion dollars!
24
00:01:29,798 --> 00:01:32,800
- We're gonna be fucking rich! Yeah!
- Yeah, motherfucker!
25
00:01:32,801 --> 00:01:34,344
Okay.
26
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:42,643
All right, on the heels of
the huge launch of our poster,
27
00:01:42,644 --> 00:01:46,522
we are gonna be all up in
Anaheim Comic-Con tomorrow
28
00:01:46,523 --> 00:01:48,274
announcing this dope cast!
29
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:51,903
I got Nick Stoller to write a bit for
Ice Cube to come out during the panel.
30
00:01:51,904 --> 00:01:54,113
He's gonna, like, crash through
the wall as Kool-Aid, "Oh, yeah!"
31
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:56,616
That's great. Stoller, he should
actually write a joke for me
32
00:01:56,617 --> 00:01:58,951
because I've decided I'm
personally gonna introduce
33
00:01:58,952 --> 00:02:00,829
Ice Cube as the Kool-Aid
Man at Comic-Con.
34
00:02:01,622 --> 00:02:05,124
Look who's hopping on the bandwagon
now that it's got some heat.
35
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:06,876
Well, you know, I
figured it's a, you know,
36
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:09,085
good moment for me to show
confidence in the project.
37
00:02:09,086 --> 00:02:12,673
Also really, like, rub it in everyone's
fucking face who said this was gonna suck.
38
00:02:12,674 --> 00:02:15,259
- I mean, we got Biel, we got Duhamel...
- Yes.
39
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:17,261
- ...we got Oh, we got Cube.
- Boom.
40
00:02:17,262 --> 00:02:20,139
I mean, how could you not
be excited about this cast?
41
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:23,017
Yeah. How could
you not be excited?
42
00:02:23,018 --> 00:02:26,103
I can't believe we got Ice Cube.
He is better than Kevin Hart.
43
00:02:26,104 --> 00:02:28,606
I still think Tracy Morgan
would have been so funny.
44
00:02:28,607 --> 00:02:30,024
"Who's thirsty?
45
00:02:30,025 --> 00:02:33,611
Somebody gettin' pregnant!" You
know, it would have been great.
46
00:02:33,612 --> 00:02:35,613
Sal, can you hang back?
47
00:02:35,614 --> 00:02:37,699
- Me too?
- No, you, out.
48
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:41,869
- What happened?
- What's up?
49
00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:46,457
Okay, so, we are loving the
enthusiasm in this room.
50
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:49,627
I'm just having, like... I'm
starting to have like a...
51
00:02:49,628 --> 00:02:53,924
a nagging concern that
something is really fucking sus.
52
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:55,591
- Sus? Like bad?
- Yeah.
53
00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:57,093
This isn't sus at
all. This is amazing.
54
00:02:57,094 --> 00:02:58,719
- Yeah, no, there's no sus...
- Are you kidding me?
55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,763
Look, I know Josh
Duhamel's not Mr. Comedy,
56
00:03:00,764 --> 00:03:02,390
- but he is so good looking and cool.
- He's funny enough.
57
00:03:02,391 --> 00:03:04,559
Duhamel is the least
of my concerns.
58
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,644
What is it? Just spit it
out. What's going on here?
59
00:03:06,645 --> 00:03:10,022
Okay, I'm starting to think
60
00:03:10,023 --> 00:03:13,109
that maybe casting Ice
Cube as the Kool-Aid Man
61
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:14,945
could potentially
be problematic.
62
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:17,947
Why? You're the one who said we should
cast Ice Cube in the first place.
63
00:03:17,948 --> 00:03:20,700
You actually said for a musician,
he's remarkably unproblematic.
64
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:22,702
- That's true.
- Oh, God.
65
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,203
- Oh, my God.
- You see it?
66
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:26,914
- Oh, no! Oh, fuck.
- What? What do you see?
67
00:03:26,915 --> 00:03:28,541
- What am I not seeing? What is happening?
- I know.
68
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:29,792
- Okay. Fucking...
- Okay, just...
69
00:03:29,793 --> 00:03:35,339
What Maya is saying is that perhaps
we're playing into some stereotypes
70
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:37,842
- because there might be...
- Oh, my God.
71
00:03:37,843 --> 00:03:43,264
...a group of people who historically
enjoy Kool-Aid more than others.
72
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:45,391
- I think that's what you were saying.
- Yeah, thank you.
73
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:47,185
Fuck... Everyone
enjoys Kool-Aid.
74
00:03:47,186 --> 00:03:49,646
I grew up drinking Kool-Aid.
Who doesn't like Kool-Aid?
75
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:52,356
- I agree. It's fine.
- Yeah.
76
00:03:52,357 --> 00:03:53,649
- He doesn't see it, so we're...
- It's good.
77
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:55,444
- Okay, great, great. I'll...
- Oh, no.
78
00:04:02,951 --> 00:04:04,952
- He's Black.
- Okay, you don't have to say it.
79
00:04:04,953 --> 00:04:06,871
- To say that out loud. We get it.
- Shit.
80
00:04:06,872 --> 00:04:08,831
Is this racist? Did we
do something racist?
81
00:04:08,832 --> 00:04:11,334
- Yeah, kinda.
- Okay, you guys,
82
00:04:11,335 --> 00:04:14,879
- this could be a major marketing issue.
- Oh, fuck.
83
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,756
This is exactly the kind of shit
that social gets salty over.
84
00:04:17,757 --> 00:04:19,634
They're gonna tear
us new assholes.
85
00:04:19,635 --> 00:04:21,677
That's gonna leave a stink on
this whole, beautiful thing.
86
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:23,554
I always knew something like
this would happen to me.
87
00:04:23,555 --> 00:04:25,389
You know what, I'm the whitest
motherfucker in this room.
88
00:04:25,390 --> 00:04:26,807
Trust me, I will take
the fall for this.
89
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:27,808
- I'm dead.
- Are you kidding me?
90
00:04:27,809 --> 00:04:31,187
I am personally getting up in front
of thousands of people tomorrow
91
00:04:31,188 --> 00:04:32,396
and announcing this hate crime.
92
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:33,356
Oh, God.
93
00:04:33,357 --> 00:04:36,901
Look, maybe we're just spinning
out. You know what I mean?
94
00:04:36,902 --> 00:04:40,196
Maybe it's like white guilt, you
know, and it's not a big deal.
95
00:04:40,197 --> 00:04:41,322
We should talk to Quinn.
96
00:04:41,323 --> 00:04:42,406
- Let's ask her, you know?
- Good idea.
97
00:04:42,407 --> 00:04:45,910
- She's very young and with-it...
- Yeah, she's got a cute bob.
98
00:04:45,911 --> 00:04:48,204
- She's not white.
- Don't say that. She's...
99
00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:51,165
- She's different. She's the same.
- She's not different! She's the same.
100
00:04:51,166 --> 00:04:52,708
- And I think that is so great.
- We're all the same.
101
00:04:52,709 --> 00:04:54,920
- Let's just head out.
- I think it's fucking great.
102
00:04:55,796 --> 00:04:58,422
- Knock, knock, knock. Hi.
- Hi.
103
00:04:58,423 --> 00:05:00,216
- Hey, girl.
- What's happening right now?
104
00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:01,425
Am I being fired?
105
00:05:01,426 --> 00:05:04,428
No, far from it. Yeah,
you're actually of,
106
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:07,223
very particular
use at the moment.
107
00:05:07,224 --> 00:05:08,474
Great.
108
00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:09,977
- Let me just ask you.
- Yeah.
109
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:13,688
Do you think it's weird
in any way, shape, or form
110
00:05:13,689 --> 00:05:20,362
that the Kool-Aid Man is
being voiced by a person of...
111
00:05:21,697 --> 00:05:22,698
Ice Cube?
112
00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:25,075
Why would that be weird?
113
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:27,159
Maybe it wouldn't. There you go.
114
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,287
- Thank you. Right, good. See?
- I feel a little bit better.
115
00:05:29,288 --> 00:05:30,664
Because Ice Cube's Black?
116
00:05:31,623 --> 00:05:34,375
We did not call Ice Cube
Black, just for the record.
117
00:05:34,376 --> 00:05:36,085
None of us called him Black.
118
00:05:36,086 --> 00:05:39,297
I mean, I guess I
get your concern,
119
00:05:39,298 --> 00:05:42,091
but I've never really viewed
Kool-Aid as a Black person drink.
120
00:05:42,092 --> 00:05:44,635
- Okay, great.
- It's a poor person drink.
121
00:05:44,636 --> 00:05:46,512
- I don't wanna hear it.
- No.
122
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:48,306
- Don't say that, please.
- That's a whole separate bad thing
123
00:05:48,307 --> 00:05:50,308
- you just said.
- People love Ice Cube, okay?
124
00:05:50,309 --> 00:05:52,018
- Just stick with him. It's fine.
- Okay.
125
00:05:52,019 --> 00:05:54,478
Respectfully, I don't think
Quinn is the spokesperson
126
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:57,023
- for all peoples if you know what I mean?
- Yes, I never said I was.
127
00:05:57,024 --> 00:05:59,108
- Honey, give us a sec.
- Sal's right. Look,
128
00:05:59,109 --> 00:06:03,196
we need a much more specific
perspective on this.
129
00:06:03,197 --> 00:06:05,114
- You know what I'm saying? Who?
- Tyler.
130
00:06:05,115 --> 00:06:09,160
- My Tyler. You know, who run...
- Oh, yes, Tyler. Hard working, dedicated.
131
00:06:09,161 --> 00:06:10,953
- Very specific.
- Yes.
132
00:06:10,954 --> 00:06:14,374
He's running the photo shoot for
Ain't Yo Mama stage eight. Let's go.
133
00:06:15,042 --> 00:06:16,877
- Thank you, Quinn.
- Yeah, you're welcome.
134
00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:18,378
Hey.
135
00:06:24,885 --> 00:06:26,719
- I'm good with it.
- Oh, my God.
136
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,429
Great. That's great
news. Great news.
137
00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:31,724
Honestly, when you think about it, if
you didn't cast a Black man as Kool-Aid,
138
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:34,519
- that would be more racist.
- Precisely, yes.
139
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,978
That's exactly why we cast him.
140
00:06:35,979 --> 00:06:37,480
Thank you so much, Tyler.
141
00:06:37,481 --> 00:06:39,732
We so value and appreciate you.
142
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:41,943
- Yes, thank you so much.
- No. Come here.
143
00:06:41,944 --> 00:06:44,529
I do not feel comfortable
speaking for all Black people.
144
00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:45,571
Oh, my God.
145
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:48,616
Can't you just, like, rubber-stamp it
on their behalf for the time being?
146
00:06:48,617 --> 00:06:50,660
Anaheim Comic-Con
is tomorrow, dude.
147
00:06:50,661 --> 00:06:51,745
No.
148
00:06:52,704 --> 00:06:54,580
Why don't we ask
Ziwe and Lil Rel?
149
00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:57,751
Oh, yeah, great idea. Can
you ask them for us, please?
150
00:06:58,418 --> 00:06:59,419
No.
151
00:07:02,673 --> 00:07:04,674
I love Ice Cube as
the Kool-Aid Man.
152
00:07:04,675 --> 00:07:07,468
- Great. Thank you.
- Dope. Dope AF.
153
00:07:07,469 --> 00:07:12,765
Okay, so, are y'all thinking Mrs.
Kool could be like Gabby Union, or...
154
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:15,393
She is great, but
no, it's not her.
155
00:07:15,394 --> 00:07:17,144
Is it Keke Palmer?
156
00:07:17,145 --> 00:07:20,064
- She slays, but no, it's not.
- Yes.
157
00:07:20,065 --> 00:07:21,108
No, it's not.
158
00:07:21,859 --> 00:07:24,068
Mrs. Kool's Black
too though, right?
159
00:07:24,069 --> 00:07:27,530
Mrs. Kool is for sure
a woman of color.
160
00:07:27,531 --> 00:07:29,156
- Yes.
- POC, hello. Yeah.
161
00:07:29,157 --> 00:07:30,700
Is the color Black?
162
00:07:30,701 --> 00:07:34,037
Her color is Korean.
163
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:37,123
Is that not...
164
00:07:37,124 --> 00:07:39,333
- Is that bad?
- Well...
165
00:07:39,334 --> 00:07:43,838
Well, it's bad if you're
implying that a Black woman,
166
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:46,424
is not good enough to be with a
successful Black man like Kool.
167
00:07:46,425 --> 00:07:48,134
No.
168
00:07:48,135 --> 00:07:50,678
Hey. No, I'm not implying that.
169
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:52,805
I'm not. Look, I'm not
implying... Look...
170
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:54,640
Let me just make
one thing clear.
171
00:07:54,641 --> 00:07:58,769
We are in no way saying
that a Black woman is not,
172
00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:02,607
good enough to be with a successful
Black man like the Kool-Aid Man.
173
00:08:02,608 --> 00:08:05,193
I think, if anything, I
never viewed the Kool-Aid Man
174
00:08:05,194 --> 00:08:08,070
as a successful Black man.
I didn't view him as a ma...
175
00:08:08,071 --> 00:08:11,490
He's a CGI glass jug
filled with red liquid.
176
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,659
- He's not real, you know what I mean?
- It's all pretend.
177
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:14,952
Sure. Look, I...
178
00:08:14,953 --> 00:08:17,538
All of that makes sense, but
really, when you think about it,
179
00:08:17,539 --> 00:08:22,710
if Kool-Aid is voiced by a Black
man, you know what that means.
180
00:08:22,711 --> 00:08:23,669
- Yes.
- That's...
181
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:26,507
The thing is I very much
don't know what that means.
182
00:08:27,925 --> 00:08:29,467
Wake the fuck up.
183
00:08:29,468 --> 00:08:31,178
- Okay.
- Okay?
184
00:08:32,136 --> 00:08:33,721
Now I'll tell you what it means.
185
00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:39,769
It means that the Kool-Aid man
has the soul of a Black man...
186
00:08:39,770 --> 00:08:40,728
Yes.
187
00:08:40,729 --> 00:08:42,230
...and he has the
soul of a Black man
188
00:08:42,231 --> 00:08:45,859
because Ice Cube is
voicing that Black man.
189
00:08:46,443 --> 00:08:48,236
So Kool-Aid is Black.
190
00:08:48,237 --> 00:08:50,029
Kool-Aid is a Black man.
191
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:52,407
The Kool-Aid man is...
192
00:08:54,409 --> 00:08:55,494
Black.
193
00:08:56,411 --> 00:08:59,456
- I feel that. Black man, yeah.
- Yeah, that makes sense now.
194
00:09:00,082 --> 00:09:01,374
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you.
195
00:09:01,375 --> 00:09:04,001
- So, Sandra Oh is out as Mrs. Kool.
- Very informative.
196
00:09:04,002 --> 00:09:06,254
- Fucking fired. Done. Gone.
- Goddamn it.
197
00:09:06,255 --> 00:09:08,673
All right, I got it. Are
you ready for this shit?
198
00:09:08,674 --> 00:09:10,007
Here we go.
199
00:09:10,008 --> 00:09:12,218
- Regina King as Mrs. Kool.
- Okay, great.
200
00:09:12,219 --> 00:09:13,678
- I like that, yeah.
- Love her. Obsessed.
201
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,555
Now... Wait, we have
to recast the daughter.
202
00:09:15,556 --> 00:09:17,431
- Why?
- 'Cause she's half Asian.
203
00:09:17,432 --> 00:09:19,183
You want "who's the father"
questions coming up?
204
00:09:19,184 --> 00:09:20,810
We might as well burn
a cross at Comic-Con.
205
00:09:20,811 --> 00:09:24,021
- Why did I agree to introduce this panel?
- God, slow down, motherfucker.
206
00:09:24,022 --> 00:09:25,190
My hair.
207
00:09:26,024 --> 00:09:29,194
And booyah. Look at that.
208
00:09:29,736 --> 00:09:32,906
That feels good. That is
progress, you know what I mean?
209
00:09:38,287 --> 00:09:39,453
What?
210
00:09:39,454 --> 00:09:46,377
I mean, is it weird that all of the
live-action characters are white,
211
00:09:46,378 --> 00:09:49,797
and all of the
non-white actors are CG?
212
00:09:49,798 --> 00:09:53,634
And so then, the only actual human
faces we see on camera are white faces.
213
00:09:53,635 --> 00:09:55,094
- Yes, the answer's yes.
- Right.
214
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:56,971
That's obviously
very fucking weird.
215
00:09:56,972 --> 00:09:58,806
We can't have a segregated cast.
216
00:09:58,807 --> 00:10:00,975
How did we not see
this until right now?
217
00:10:00,976 --> 00:10:03,477
I think maybe because
we had Sandra Oh.
218
00:10:03,478 --> 00:10:04,854
She kind of, like,
offset the whole thing.
219
00:10:04,855 --> 00:10:08,858
Okay, here's what we're gonna do,
Josh Duhamel, he's fucking gone,
220
00:10:08,859 --> 00:10:11,360
and Don Cheadle, he's
the new live-action dad.
221
00:10:11,361 --> 00:10:13,946
Matt, the cast we had this
morning is so fine, okay?
222
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:15,698
This is all making
it a lot worse.
223
00:10:15,699 --> 00:10:18,326
Okay, we can't have Biel and Cheadle
because of the white wife thing.
224
00:10:18,327 --> 00:10:20,203
- Fuck, she's right.
- Because of what?
225
00:10:20,204 --> 00:10:23,164
Because if Don Cheadle
is married to a whitey,
226
00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:26,167
then that could be construed as
possibly problematic to Black women.
227
00:10:26,168 --> 00:10:28,294
- Do you want that? Okay.
- Okay, no.
228
00:10:28,295 --> 00:10:31,214
But you're telling me that interracial
marriage is now regressive?
229
00:10:31,215 --> 00:10:33,758
I've exclusively dated white men.
Does that make me a racist person?
230
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:34,967
Honestly, it might.
231
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:36,220
Holy shit, I got it.
232
00:10:37,012 --> 00:10:38,013
Lesbians.
233
00:10:38,972 --> 00:10:43,434
Two white lesbians with a
Asian child. Is that anything?
234
00:10:43,435 --> 00:10:46,020
Does their gayness
mitigate their whiteness?
235
00:10:46,021 --> 00:10:48,272
Okay, I'm sorry,
I love lesbians,
236
00:10:48,273 --> 00:10:51,150
but white women are the fucking
worst right now. They're so toxic.
237
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:52,777
Okay, you are a white woman.
238
00:10:52,778 --> 00:10:55,404
How dare you? My
dad is from Cyprus.
239
00:10:55,405 --> 00:10:58,575
I got it. I fucking got it.
240
00:10:59,493 --> 00:11:01,078
We make them all Black, baby.
241
00:11:01,745 --> 00:11:03,746
We Black Panther this
shit, you know what I mean?
242
00:11:03,747 --> 00:11:04,830
That's unassailable.
243
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:06,582
- That's doing the work, you know?
- Yeah.
244
00:11:06,583 --> 00:11:07,667
- Boom. You ready for this?
- Yeah.
245
00:11:07,668 --> 00:11:08,918
Watch this. Don
Cheadle as the dad.
246
00:11:08,919 --> 00:11:10,670
- Keke Palmer as the mom.
- Love it.
247
00:11:10,671 --> 00:11:13,506
And this will be a
young Black actor TBD.
248
00:11:13,507 --> 00:11:14,674
- Okay, I can sell it.
- Boom.
249
00:11:14,675 --> 00:11:16,759
Great. This actually makes it feel
important almost now, you know?
250
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,052
This could be like our Hamilton.
251
00:11:18,053 --> 00:11:19,679
Okay, wait, hold on. Stoller's
at the production office
252
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,556
with the writers right now, and
they're working on a new draft
253
00:11:21,557 --> 00:11:23,474
- so we should probably...
- Okay, I'll give them the note myself.
254
00:11:23,475 --> 00:11:25,476
- Right. Wow.
- Maya, you come with me.
255
00:11:25,477 --> 00:11:27,895
- Okay. Coming.
- Let's get these white losers off.
256
00:11:27,896 --> 00:11:29,564
- Totally. Yeah.
- Bye white losers. Bye-bye.
257
00:11:29,565 --> 00:11:33,651
There's a lot of enthusiasm internally
for this new version of the film.
258
00:11:33,652 --> 00:11:35,653
Yeah, we think that it's
more of the moment...
259
00:11:35,654 --> 00:11:37,029
- No. More fresh.
- Exactly.
260
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:39,031
Yeah. Lots of new
opportunities for comedy
261
00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:40,908
will come from the
new casting, you know?
262
00:11:40,909 --> 00:11:42,910
Totally. Super-duper fresh.
263
00:11:42,911 --> 00:11:46,081
Yeah, so, Nick, as the director
you think you can pull this off?
264
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:52,378
So, we're talking about an
almost entirely new cast?
265
00:11:52,379 --> 00:11:53,547
- Yes.
- Yeah.
266
00:11:54,464 --> 00:11:57,925
Which would require
substantial rewrites.
267
00:11:57,926 --> 00:11:59,010
- Yes.
- Definitely.
268
00:11:59,011 --> 00:12:01,846
- Yeah.
- And we're f...
269
00:12:01,847 --> 00:12:03,974
we're five weeks
out from shooting.
270
00:12:09,438 --> 00:12:10,688
I mean, yeah, we could do this.
271
00:12:10,689 --> 00:12:12,607
- Great. Perfect. Love that.
- We got this. Yeah...
272
00:12:12,608 --> 00:12:13,691
You got this. Yeah.
273
00:12:13,692 --> 00:12:15,359
- What do you guys...
- I mean, it's...
274
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,112
- Wow.
- ...it's certainly an exciting new version
275
00:12:18,113 --> 00:12:19,197
of the Kool-Aid man story.
276
00:12:19,198 --> 00:12:21,115
- Yes. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.
- Great.
277
00:12:21,116 --> 00:12:22,200
But...
278
00:12:22,201 --> 00:12:25,954
are we 100% sure we should be
the writers on this movie now?
279
00:12:26,455 --> 00:12:27,455
Why not?
280
00:12:27,456 --> 00:12:28,956
- You guys have been rocking it.
- Yeah.
281
00:12:28,957 --> 00:12:31,834
Because it would be way
out of our wheelhouse.
282
00:12:31,835 --> 00:12:33,294
- Definitely.
- It's a comedy.
283
00:12:33,295 --> 00:12:36,339
You guys are comedy writers. That
is the definition of wheelhouse.
284
00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:38,049
Yeah, but... We're...
285
00:12:38,050 --> 00:12:41,552
We're talking about the
live-action family and...
286
00:12:41,553 --> 00:12:43,721
You want them to be Black.
287
00:12:43,722 --> 00:12:45,348
We can't do that.
288
00:12:45,349 --> 00:12:49,227
Like, then... What, we're
taking jobs from Black writers?
289
00:12:49,228 --> 00:12:51,312
- Like, we c... I mean, we couldn't.
- I'd hate that.
290
00:12:51,313 --> 00:12:53,064
Okay, so can you help
me understand this?
291
00:12:53,065 --> 00:12:54,148
Yeah.
292
00:12:54,149 --> 00:12:57,276
You can write then for
one Black person, but...
293
00:12:57,277 --> 00:12:58,945
But now it's all Black people.
294
00:12:58,946 --> 00:13:00,780
So in an attempt
to not be racist,
295
00:13:00,781 --> 00:13:03,824
you're limiting the amount of Black
people you're willing to write for?
296
00:13:03,825 --> 00:13:06,410
Look, if this is the path
you guys are gonna go down...
297
00:13:06,411 --> 00:13:08,538
I don't think we can
work on this anymore.
298
00:13:08,539 --> 00:13:11,165
Well, this is very much 100%
the path we're gonna go down.
299
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:14,001
- We vetted it with Lil Rel. Okay?
- Yeah, it's vetted.
300
00:13:14,002 --> 00:13:16,212
- We are so sorry.
- We're sorry.
301
00:13:16,213 --> 00:13:17,880
- Thank you. That's it.
- Wow. Thank you.
302
00:13:17,881 --> 00:13:19,590
We believe in the project,
it's... It isn't easy.
303
00:13:19,591 --> 00:13:20,675
Thank you so much.
304
00:13:20,676 --> 00:13:22,802
- Thank you, we'll... See you. Yes.
- Hey, best of luck on this.
305
00:13:22,803 --> 00:13:23,886
Thank you.
306
00:13:23,887 --> 00:13:26,013
- We should have lunch, guys.
- We'd love that.
307
00:13:26,014 --> 00:13:27,766
That'd be great.
Thank you. Thanks.
308
00:13:29,893 --> 00:13:31,894
I'll rewrite the whole
thing. I don't give a shit.
309
00:13:31,895 --> 00:13:33,813
- I'll rewrite the entire thing.
- Thank you. Thank you, Nick.
310
00:13:33,814 --> 00:13:35,273
- I got it.
- I knew you would. Thank you, man.
311
00:13:35,274 --> 00:13:36,816
- There he is.
- Thank God.
312
00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:39,193
Oh, and Matt, just one
quick housekeeping thing...
313
00:13:39,194 --> 00:13:40,945
- Yeah.
- Just a little thing...
314
00:13:40,946 --> 00:13:42,363
- So in order to hit the dates...
- Yeah.
315
00:13:42,364 --> 00:13:43,447
...on our budget,
316
00:13:43,448 --> 00:13:45,658
and given these... The substantial
changes that we just...
317
00:13:45,659 --> 00:13:46,742
- Yeah.
- I just received,
318
00:13:46,743 --> 00:13:48,828
- which I love and are awesome...
- Great.
319
00:13:48,829 --> 00:13:54,918
I'm going to have to bring on an animation
company that is primarily artificial.
320
00:13:55,961 --> 00:13:57,962
- Like, AI artificial?
- Yeah, artificial...
321
00:13:57,963 --> 00:13:59,839
- Like, artificial intelligence.
- Artificial intelligence?
322
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,090
Can't you hire more
human animators?
323
00:14:01,091 --> 00:14:03,176
- It's like two to three million dollars...
- That's too much. Don't do that.
324
00:14:03,177 --> 00:14:05,178
...for each one. Yeah, but I'm talking
about the eyebrow... Little things.
325
00:14:05,179 --> 00:14:06,262
- Eyebrows.
- Eyebrows, eyeballs, like...
326
00:14:06,263 --> 00:14:07,597
Nobody even gives
a shit about that.
327
00:14:07,598 --> 00:14:09,056
- Yeah, that's fine.
- Maybe a background.
328
00:14:09,057 --> 00:14:12,560
Okay, do what you gotta do, just,
you know, keep it under wraps.
329
00:14:12,561 --> 00:14:14,812
- Just on there. Okay. Yeah.
- Just sprinkle it on there. Not too much.
330
00:14:14,813 --> 00:14:16,480
Yeah, I'm just worried about
not looking racist, okay?
331
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,065
Okay, I get it. Thank you.
332
00:14:18,066 --> 00:14:20,067
- Oh, yeah.
- Thanks. Thank you. Oh, yeah!
333
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:21,152
Oh, yeah!
334
00:14:21,153 --> 00:14:24,947
Donny C. in the house.
Right there. Nailed it.
335
00:14:24,948 --> 00:14:26,490
Yeah, I think we did too.
336
00:14:26,491 --> 00:14:28,618
- I feel really good about it.
- Don Cheadle's the man.
337
00:14:28,619 --> 00:14:29,869
So good. Funny too.
338
00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:31,412
I didn't know his
ears were pierced.
339
00:14:31,413 --> 00:14:34,207
I mean... Now this is racist.
340
00:14:34,208 --> 00:14:36,167
- What? How is that possible?
- No!
341
00:14:36,168 --> 00:14:37,585
Look at all of them.
What do you mean?
342
00:14:37,586 --> 00:14:38,669
Well, it's just weird.
343
00:14:38,670 --> 00:14:41,339
Like, before we had a cast that
was all over the map, racially,
344
00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:44,217
so having a Black Kool-Aid
man didn't seem like anything,
345
00:14:44,218 --> 00:14:45,676
but now that they're all Black,
346
00:14:45,677 --> 00:14:50,599
kinda seems like what you're saying is
that Kool-Aid is only for Black people.
347
00:14:51,975 --> 00:14:54,227
- Fuck.
- Goddamn it, she's right.
348
00:14:54,228 --> 00:14:57,772
Okay, but he has to be Black because
Kool-Aid has the soul of a Black man.
349
00:14:57,773 --> 00:14:58,731
What?
350
00:14:58,732 --> 00:14:59,815
You weren't there.
351
00:14:59,816 --> 00:15:01,651
And his wife has got
to be Black, right?
352
00:15:01,652 --> 00:15:03,319
I don't even wanna get into
that whole thing, okay?
353
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,322
I don't know what
to do with that.
354
00:15:05,906 --> 00:15:07,990
Okay, here's what we do.
355
00:15:07,991 --> 00:15:10,743
If we don't wanna be
racist or seem racist,
356
00:15:10,744 --> 00:15:15,331
we just gotta make this cast reflect
America's racial demographics,
357
00:15:15,332 --> 00:15:16,415
you know what I mean?
358
00:15:16,416 --> 00:15:19,001
That way, no one can
possibly accuse us
359
00:15:19,002 --> 00:15:21,796
of not being representative
of America, racially,
360
00:15:21,797 --> 00:15:26,384
because we will mathematically be
representative of America racially.
361
00:15:26,385 --> 00:15:27,761
Let's do that.
362
00:15:32,933 --> 00:15:34,600
Okay. This is what I'm...
363
00:15:34,601 --> 00:15:36,602
- Okay, this is what I'm seeing.
- Okay.
364
00:15:36,603 --> 00:15:39,355
Seventy-five percent of
America is all white.
365
00:15:39,356 --> 00:15:42,733
Sixty percent white if
we exclude Hispanics.
366
00:15:42,734 --> 00:15:45,903
So, that would be 3.6 white
people needed for this cast.
367
00:15:45,904 --> 00:15:48,948
Oh, no, remember we round
down for whites, that's three.
368
00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:51,117
Wait, we're lumping Hispanics
in with white people now?
369
00:15:51,118 --> 00:15:52,827
- What the fuck is that all about?
- I...
370
00:15:52,828 --> 00:15:56,247
Sometimes. When they're not,
they're 25% of the population.
371
00:15:56,248 --> 00:15:59,500
Black people are 13%, Asians
6%, and the rest don't matter.
372
00:15:59,501 --> 00:16:02,253
I mean, obvi, they matter,
of course. All lives matter.
373
00:16:02,254 --> 00:16:03,462
- All lives matter?
- God.
374
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:05,173
All right, okay, so
according to this math,
375
00:16:05,174 --> 00:16:07,884
we need 0.36 an Asian
person to round this out.
376
00:16:07,885 --> 00:16:10,344
What the fuck is 0.36
of an Asian person...
377
00:16:10,345 --> 00:16:12,680
Okay, round up half
an Asian, Quinn. Fuck.
378
00:16:12,681 --> 00:16:16,684
- Oh, my God.
- Israel is technically a part of Asia.
379
00:16:16,685 --> 00:16:18,060
I would just like
to say that, okay?
380
00:16:18,061 --> 00:16:22,064
Holy fuck, Matt! No!
We are not going there.
381
00:16:22,065 --> 00:16:25,484
Going where? Jews are a race. It's
not my fault the Jews are a race.
382
00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:26,736
- All right, here we go again.
- What?
383
00:16:26,737 --> 00:16:29,864
It's not... We are a race
of people and a religion.
384
00:16:29,865 --> 00:16:32,408
It's complicated. Do we need
Jewish representation in the film?
385
00:16:32,409 --> 00:16:35,077
- Should we cast Josh Gad?
- No. Guys, listen, everybody focus.
386
00:16:35,078 --> 00:16:38,748
We just need one real
half Asian. No Jews.
387
00:16:38,749 --> 00:16:41,042
Okay. How about a Hispanic?
How about a Hispanic person?
388
00:16:41,043 --> 00:16:43,503
- Yeah. Anya Taylor-Joy. She's great.
- She's fucking whiter than me.
389
00:16:43,504 --> 00:16:45,129
No, she's Argentinean.
She's full Argentinean.
390
00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:46,589
- She is?
- Oh, fuck! A white Hispanic!
391
00:16:46,590 --> 00:16:48,257
Two birds with one
stone. Anya Taylor-Joy.
392
00:16:48,258 --> 00:16:50,176
- No! That's like half of a bird.
- Anya Taylor-Joy.
393
00:16:50,177 --> 00:16:51,260
- No stone.
- Okay.
394
00:16:51,261 --> 00:16:54,555
Fucking how are any of these
better than a couple of lesbians?
395
00:16:54,556 --> 00:16:56,807
Because gay has too
many moving parts.
396
00:16:56,808 --> 00:16:58,851
Yeah, gay is way too complicated.
Just stick to race, okay?
397
00:16:58,852 --> 00:17:00,561
- Thank you.
- Make it simple.
398
00:17:00,562 --> 00:17:02,313
- Here we go. Gay child.
- Everybody can switch...
399
00:17:02,314 --> 00:17:03,397
No!
400
00:17:03,398 --> 00:17:05,733
Stop! Guys, stop.
401
00:17:06,527 --> 00:17:08,778
This is an insane conversation
for us to be having.
402
00:17:08,779 --> 00:17:12,199
We should not be saying any
of this shit. All right?
403
00:17:12,782 --> 00:17:14,158
This all started this morning
404
00:17:14,159 --> 00:17:16,827
'cause we had concerns that it
was perhaps racially insensitive
405
00:17:16,828 --> 00:17:18,871
for Ice Cube to portray
the Kool-Aid Man.
406
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:21,791
There is one person who could
tell us if that's the case,
407
00:17:22,416 --> 00:17:23,794
and I'm gonna go talk to him.
408
00:17:41,812 --> 00:17:45,565
Excuse me? I'm looking for
Mr. Ice Cube? Mr. Ice? Mr. Cube?
409
00:17:45,566 --> 00:17:47,942
It's just Cube, man.
He's in the booth.
410
00:17:47,943 --> 00:17:49,987
Great. Thank you.
Appreciate that.
411
00:17:56,660 --> 00:17:57,661
Cube.
412
00:17:58,370 --> 00:18:00,162
- What up, Matt?
- How's it going?
413
00:18:00,163 --> 00:18:01,247
All good. What's happening, man?
414
00:18:01,248 --> 00:18:04,375
Not too much. Am I interrupting
the flow or anything?
415
00:18:04,376 --> 00:18:07,170
Nah, we just taking a break.
Checking out the game.
416
00:18:07,171 --> 00:18:09,589
Great. Cool, yeah.
Sports. The best.
417
00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:12,426
So, what's up? How's
everything going with Kool-Aid?
418
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:16,053
So well, actually. Really great.
419
00:18:16,054 --> 00:18:20,142
We just, we had
one small concern.
420
00:18:20,934 --> 00:18:22,435
Concern?
421
00:18:22,436 --> 00:18:27,106
Concern's not even the right
word. It's more of a question.
422
00:18:27,107 --> 00:18:30,194
A question that I think
only you can answer.
423
00:18:32,029 --> 00:18:36,241
Okay. So, there's been some...
424
00:18:37,034 --> 00:18:40,161
discussion around the
office that perhaps...
425
00:18:40,162 --> 00:18:41,413
Why are you whispering?
426
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,041
No reason.
427
00:18:44,875 --> 00:18:47,919
There's been some
discussion around the office
428
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,172
that perhaps the Kool-Aid
Man being portrayed
429
00:18:51,173 --> 00:18:53,716
by a certain person,
430
00:18:53,717 --> 00:18:59,514
who is a certain member of a certain
African American community...
431
00:18:59,515 --> 00:19:01,642
- Just say Black.
- Great, I will.
432
00:19:02,434 --> 00:19:06,104
Black person, a part of
the Black community...
433
00:19:07,481 --> 00:19:09,941
The concern is that maybe
you playing the Kool-Aid Man
434
00:19:09,942 --> 00:19:12,861
might be viewed as offensive
because it plays into racist tropes.
435
00:19:14,238 --> 00:19:15,239
Are you serious?
436
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,865
I knew when you came
in here whispering
437
00:19:17,866 --> 00:19:19,784
you was gonna be on some
passive-aggressive bullshit.
438
00:19:19,785 --> 00:19:21,911
- No, it's not passive-aggressive. I...
- You trying to fire me?
439
00:19:21,912 --> 00:19:22,995
No!
440
00:19:22,996 --> 00:19:24,830
You think a white dude could
play Kool-Aid Man better than me?
441
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:28,125
Not unless you
feel that way. No.
442
00:19:28,126 --> 00:19:29,628
Well, then why you trippin'?
443
00:19:30,671 --> 00:19:32,171
Is it 'cause I got
first-dollar gross?
444
00:19:32,172 --> 00:19:34,757
Hey, Matt! Don't be a
cheap motherfucker, man.
445
00:19:34,758 --> 00:19:36,634
No. This has nothing to do
with the money, honestly.
446
00:19:36,635 --> 00:19:38,470
This is purely about
the racist thing.
447
00:19:40,806 --> 00:19:42,808
So there's people that's
concerned, for real?
448
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:45,017
That a Black man is
playing Kool-Aid?
449
00:19:45,018 --> 00:19:47,020
It has come up as
a concern, yes.
450
00:19:50,148 --> 00:19:51,816
Now that shit's offensive.
451
00:19:51,817 --> 00:19:53,442
See? Why is that offensive?
452
00:19:53,443 --> 00:19:55,821
The whole thing is we're
trying not to be offensive.
453
00:19:56,321 --> 00:19:59,574
It's offensive because
some asshole studio exec
454
00:19:59,575 --> 00:20:04,537
think that I'm not sophisticated enough
to understand that playing Kool-Aid
455
00:20:04,538 --> 00:20:08,833
could possibly be a trope and
people could see it as a stereotype.
456
00:20:08,834 --> 00:20:10,334
For the record, I
do not think that.
457
00:20:10,335 --> 00:20:13,922
But yes, some stupid studio
executives have brought that up.
458
00:20:14,548 --> 00:20:16,466
Well, tell that motherfucker
this, all right?
459
00:20:17,009 --> 00:20:18,968
- The Kool-Aid Man is Black.
- Okay.
460
00:20:18,969 --> 00:20:21,846
- He ain't white. He ain't no Mexican.
- Right.
461
00:20:21,847 --> 00:20:25,391
He Black. I'm the motherfucking
Kool-Aid Man. All right?
462
00:20:25,392 --> 00:20:27,852
- Yes.
- And if you get anybody else to play him,
463
00:20:27,853 --> 00:20:30,898
now that shit's offensive. And
they're gonna be coming for your neck.
464
00:20:31,565 --> 00:20:35,318
That is not gonna happen 'cause
you're the motherfucking Kool-Aid Man.
465
00:20:35,319 --> 00:20:36,611
That's right.
466
00:20:36,612 --> 00:20:38,154
- Love it. We're on the same page.
- Hey.
467
00:20:38,155 --> 00:20:39,780
- Thank you.
- That's why you're my nigga, Matt.
468
00:20:39,781 --> 00:20:41,365
And you're mine. Yes.
469
00:20:41,366 --> 00:20:43,242
Hey. Don't come down here with
no bullshit like that anymore.
470
00:20:43,243 --> 00:20:44,744
- Never will again.
- All right.
471
00:20:44,745 --> 00:20:47,496
So glad we worked this out.
I'll see you in Anaheim.
472
00:20:47,497 --> 00:20:49,248
- See you in Anaheim.
- We're so psyched.
473
00:20:49,249 --> 00:20:50,792
- Yay, yay.
- Yay, yay.
474
00:20:54,505 --> 00:20:58,175
Thank you. Hello,
Anaheim Comic-Con.
475
00:20:59,343 --> 00:21:01,511
Thank you for this warm welcome.
476
00:21:01,512 --> 00:21:03,846
Well, Hollywood is
abuzz with one question.
477
00:21:03,847 --> 00:21:08,684
Who is the star of Kool-Aid: The Movie?
Well, here with an exciting announcement
478
00:21:08,685 --> 00:21:12,105
is the head of Continental
Studios, Matt Remick.
479
00:21:14,650 --> 00:21:15,816
Thank you, Nick.
480
00:21:15,817 --> 00:21:17,236
Thank you, everybody.
481
00:21:18,028 --> 00:21:23,366
I am thrilled and honored to announce
that the Kool-Aid Man will be voiced
482
00:21:23,367 --> 00:21:29,830
by none other than the
incomparable Ice Cube!
483
00:21:29,831 --> 00:21:32,709
Oh, yeah, baby!
484
00:21:34,753 --> 00:21:38,005
- Thank you.
- Yeah!
485
00:21:38,006 --> 00:21:39,382
Oh, yay, yay!
486
00:21:39,383 --> 00:21:40,467
Yay, yay.
487
00:21:41,343 --> 00:21:43,678
And we have time to answer a
few questions from the audience,
488
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:45,721
if anyone has anything
they'd like to ask?
489
00:21:45,722 --> 00:21:46,889
I have a question.
490
00:21:46,890 --> 00:21:48,600
Yes. The Homelander there.
491
00:21:49,309 --> 00:21:55,107
I just saw on Reddit that you're using AI
to replace human animators. Is that true?
492
00:21:59,069 --> 00:22:00,070
Well, is it?
493
00:22:02,072 --> 00:22:04,782
I actually think our director,
Nick Stoller, can speak to that.
494
00:22:04,783 --> 00:22:06,450
Nick, why don't you
come back out here?
495
00:22:06,451 --> 00:22:07,535
Come down, Nick.
496
00:22:07,536 --> 00:22:09,537
- Hey!
- Fuck you, Stoller.
497
00:22:09,538 --> 00:22:10,622
Fucking hack.
498
00:22:11,331 --> 00:22:12,874
Uh-huh. I'd rather talk
about our amazing cast.
499
00:22:12,875 --> 00:22:15,294
As an animator,
this is pure evil.
500
00:22:15,794 --> 00:22:18,087
Do you have any questions for
Ice Cube you'd like to ask?
501
00:22:18,088 --> 00:22:22,049
You're taking jobs away from
artists, real human artists.
502
00:22:22,050 --> 00:22:24,635
You are everything that's
wrong with Hollywood.
503
00:22:24,636 --> 00:22:25,971
Yeah!
504
00:22:27,973 --> 00:22:31,893
- Yeah, man. She right. AI is bullshit.
- Yeah!
505
00:22:31,894 --> 00:22:36,982
Fuck AI! Fuck AI! Fuck AI!
506
00:22:38,692 --> 00:22:40,568
Fuck AI! Fuck AI! Fuck AI!
507
00:22:40,569 --> 00:22:44,948
Bullshit. Can't believe y'all
got me part of this bullshit.
508
00:22:45,782 --> 00:22:47,951
- Crushed it.
- Don't touch me, motherfucker.
509
00:22:48,869 --> 00:22:50,786
Thank God they
didn't mention race.
510
00:22:50,787 --> 00:22:52,623
No shit. We dodged them bullets.
