Movie Pitch with Stefon - SNL

0:01 -David, we're very happy you could come in.

0:03 -Yeah.

0:03 Is your brother coming?

0:04 I know you two haven't worked together in a while.

0:05 -You know Stefon will be here.

0:07 You know, he's been going through some stuff

0:08 for the past couple of years, but...

0:09 -Okay, well, we're, uh, we're just glad

0:10 you guys are making movies together again,

0:12 'cause when you do, it's magic.

0:14 Chuckles] -Hi.

0:16 -Hey.

0:17 Stefon, hello.

0:19 -How are you?

0:20 -Stefon, coffee?

0:21 Can I get you coffee?

0:22 -No, I've been awake for, like, three days.

0:24 -Okay.

0:26 -Alright, let's, uh, let's just get started.

0:27 -Alright.

0:29 You know, I can't believe the Zolesky brothers,

0:31 together again.

0:32 -Okay, basically, it starts with this character Bob.

0:35 Um, he's a grandfather,

0:37 kind of cantankerous, but lovable.

0:38 Was a football star in college.

0:41 -Yeah, and it's like he has that thing,

0:42 that, like, jock thing from the '50s when guys are, like,

0:45 cut and they have that, like, V, you know,

0:49 but like the small waist.

0:51 -Yeah.

0:52 Uh-huh.

0:52 But so Bob has this grandson, Eddie,

0:54 who wants to try out for the college football team.

0:57 And Eddie— -Has that, like, twink look—

1:00 like, thin, dumb, NYC nights, like 24th and 8th.

1:04 -No, no, no, no, no.

1:06 That's just— He's the grandson.

1:07 Just think about him like the grandson.

1:09 And he's never really known the grandfather

1:10 because he was raised by these kind of artsy-fartsy parents.

1:14 -And we just see, like, scene after scene of them in, like,

1:17 jeans, you know, with that, like, tight grip here,

1:21 you know, like right here, it's like the shape reads.

1:23 It's like this.

1:24 -I'm sorry.

1:25 What kind of movie is this?

1:26 -It's a family movie.

1:27 The movie's a family movie.

1:28 And then by the second act,

1:30 Eddie realizes that if he wants to make the team,

1:32 he needs his grandfather to help him train.

1:35 -Then it's just, like, quick, sloppy cuts

1:37 of, like, mascara running down their faces

1:41 and, like, adult baby fantasy shots of, like, diaper people,

1:46 and they're, like, into everything,

1:48 like groups, J-offs...

1:49 -No, no, no.

1:50 -...intimidation scenarios, "Newsies" fantasies.

1:54 -You two are— You two are brothers?

1:55 Actual brothers?

1:56 -Yeah, we are, we are.

1:57 The grandfather trains the grandson for the tryouts,

1:59 and eventually Bob and Eddie becomes really close,

2:02 and it helps reunite the big old Irish family.

2:05 -And then it's just, like, effed-up leprechaun situations

2:10 because, you know, like—

2:12 like when ripped midgets have that, like, pony keg chest?

2:16 -So it's really like "Bad News Bears"

2:18 meets "Little Miss Sunshine," you know?

2:20 And for Bob, we're thinking...

2:22 -Like a sunburned, jacked old man.

2:25 -...Tom Wilkinson.

2:27 -Okay, well...

2:29 seems like we have two entirely different ideas here.

2:32 One, one would be yours, David—

2:34 classic coming-of-age story with a "Rudy"-like

2:36 football underdog theme, which I love.

2:38 The other is yours, Stefon—

2:40 uh, some kind of half-remembered gay nightmare.

2:43 Would you agree?

2:43 -Yes.

2:44 We've heard that a lot.

2:45 -Okay, well, we're gonna make yours, David.

2:47 I will tell you that.

2:48 Chuckles] I'm sorry, Stefon, but we can't make your movie.

2:51 -What movie?

2:52 -Okay, um, but, Stefon,

2:54 how would you feel about doing a rewrite for "Wall-E 2"?

2:57 -Yay!

2:59 Energetic music plays] -Good.

3:01 Okay, good.

3:02 -Alright.

3:03 Terrific.

3:03 -Yeah, let's go.

3:04 -Thanks for having me.
