How Did This Get Made?

and as one-third of the cult MTV sketch show Human Giant.

His hilarious podcast is called How Did This Get Made? And his latest project is the...

Vimed? Vimeo.

Vimeo?

We should talk about the podcast, though.

Sure, whatever you'd like.

Because I was telling Gil that you talked about, the podcast is called How Did This Get Made.

Yes.

And if you don't already know Jason Mantzoukas, he is a comedian and actor and improviser and writer and podcast host.

You might have seen him in John Wick, or The Good Place, or Parks and Rec, or The League, or you might know his voice from Big Mouth, or you might know his podcast, How Did This Get Made? I love talking to Jason about music and film and TV, and our conversation kind of touched on all of those things.

But principally, it's about this album that I made called In the Last Hour of Flight, which is my fifth full length, but my first one in 15 years, since before I started making Song Exploder.

If you want to listen to the album, there's a link in the show notes.

It's going to be great.

We're here to talk about your new record and how it was made.

How did this get made is the name of my podcast, which I just love to get.

I'm doing plugs at the beginning.

So

how did this get made, covered it? And in it, there was a reveal that I did not pick up on.

Let's ask you real quick if you got it.

Do you remember what Ben Affleck's character name is?

I just, I mean,

did I write that movie?

I, I hate, well, How did this get made? I highly recommend to go find that episode and listen to it.

Oh, no, no. There's more.

Yeah, I'm looking at it now.

So, is there reviews for this film? Because the thing I love, there's a podcast called How Did This Get Made.

They always read out

reviews.

But also could be the greatest.

I'm scared to death now that How Did This Get Made has done both Hello Mary Lou Prom Night 2 and now Happy Birthday to Me.

I've not found myself brave enough to listen to that episode.

If they do Mikey, I have to sue or something.

And I knew about this because I listened to it when I was driving back to Pennsylvania one time and I couldn't believe it then either.

How did this get made? Two thirds of how did this get made hated this film in an unqualified way that is like nothing I've ever heard on that podcast.

Like deep.

That's the Paul Scheer.

No shit.

And I think he's right on the money.

Like How Did This Get Made is a podcast about bad, failed films.

So if you're watching- How did they get made? What did they expect? But I think that the tale of the tape there is they expected a bad film, but they didn't expect this kind of a bad film.

realized yes yes a little bit more i mean didn't he

didn't the The screenwriters of the third Crocodile Dundee movie, did they not go on How Did This Get Made, the podcast, or certainly on How Did This Get Made, they shared the story.

Oh my God, I

don't know if I knew that.

You describe what I am, Scott.

Well, you know Jason Mantzoukas, the host or co-host of How Did This Get Made? I don't know him.

I don't really know

him.

So I just put on a podcast and put on my beanie and like went out and was like just cleaning and like shoveling snow.

And I was listening to the How Did This Get Made episode of Xanadu.

Wow.

yeah and so I have a core memory for some reason it was like one of the big like really big first notes and my husband was in Germany I think at the time on fellowship so like it was just me and I think it was like and I grew up in California right so I think it's one of the first times I had to be responsible for like the car and all the things and it took me like an hour so I just was listening to Xanadu for like an hour or the how does this get made episode on Xanadu and I was like what is this movie So it's like hyperthermia induced acid trip, you know, kind of thing.
