Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny

Number three on the list, a character actor, John C. Reilly, who appeared in dozens of movies, among them Days of Thunder, Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Gangs of New York, Talladega Nights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, and Walk Hard, The Dewey Cox Story.

He was in, or he was Bigfoot in Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.

He was Bigfoot in that.

Wow.

Like, I love when movies have ...

Similar to how I felt about Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, where it's like, what do you mean this character doesn't have a name and they, like, literally orgasm to death in the bar?

Amy Adams.

the lizard in Formula 51, Bud Black in Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny-

... and the voice of Meat Loaf in Sausage Party.

Mm-hmm

... 'cause the Anaconda movies weren't meant to be funny when they came out.

It's just that they-

And, uh, I think the, the impression I get, not having ever spoken to the man or really ever even listened to an interview with him, is that he would just say stuff because it sounded right without the like having the meaning of everything really worked out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think that David Lynch movies are a lot like that too, although like obviously vastly different.

He would just do stuff 'cause it felt good, 'cause it felt like the right thing to do, and then, you know, there's entire, there's like a cottage industry of explaining David Lynch to people, you know?

Very specifically Mike.

Next up is Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny versus Take the Lead.

I do not remember Take the Lead.

Pick of Destiny is a movie that should be good and we should like, and neither of those things is true.
