Party Monster

Had you worked with him before?

Yeah, we got to make a movie in the early 2000s called Party Monster about, uh-

Oh, yeah, I remember that

... a true story in New York nightlife-

But this movie doesn't have that problem.

This movie, everyone knows each other.

They worked together in Party Monster, they worked together in Rat Race.

You know, you, uh, Robot Chicken buddies.

Yeah.

But I- he only, if, if I'm, unless I'm mistaken, when it comes to films around this time, he did Party Monster, which a- which was a huge deal, 'cause I feel like he'd been away for a while.

Mm.

And then he did this, and it's so weird not to see him as a 10-year-old.

Apart from Vincent Price, his voice is the voice of Halloween to me.

Next is more of a true crime horror movie, Party Monster.

This movie, [laughs] Macaulay Culkin playing a gay, drug-addicted club kid killer with Seth Green as an eccentric, also drug-addled socialite.

Baby Chloë Sevigny, baby Natasha Lyonne.

Yeah.

James will never forgive us, Sally, because when we shot Party Monster, he lent us his Sprouse sequin suit.

Do you remember that

jacket? Yeah.

That's the theme going on.

Or it's the movie A Knight's Tale if it morphed with the movie Party Monster.

Remember Macaulay Culkin's return to film with that sexy movie? That movie didn't get enough hype that it deserved.

That was great.

Right.

You mentioned, of course, being still close with Breckin Meyer, one of your best friends, but you were also notoriously close with Macaulay Culkin, who you worked with on Party Monster.

Yeah.

Do you find it easier to be friends with adults who had similar young actor backgrounds? Like, is there a version of, of...

Yeah, so Mac's at the after party, and we had never met before that, and he's sitting at Sarah's table, and I was like, "Hey, I've been wanting to meet you." And he's like, "I've been wanting to meet you too." And I was like, "Let's go to the bar." We just went to the bar, got drinks together, like, uh, chatted the whole night.

Like, hung out the whole night.

And, um- Then I got approached about doing Party Monster, and they were like, "We think we want you and Mack to do this." And I was like, "Oh, shit, have you talked to him yet?"

Yeah.

Yeah, there were a couple.

I really wanted to play Angel in Party Monster.

I was up for it and then Wilson Cruz got it.

It was great.

I'm glad they singled him out.

Do you think that they're fans of his greatest movie ever, Party Monster? I disagree with you because Without a

Paddle, that's a great movie right there.

I feel like, again, Idle Hands is kind of the one that I gravitate towards.
