Hot Rod (Again) | The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast Episode 12

[@EvaFull]

After hearing the the two part episode on “HOT ROD”, I can’t wait for the eventual episode on “POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING”.

[@louisroy4911]

Oh hell yeah!

[@TwistedSkeinCrochet]

I literally reference Popstar and Hot Rod everyday since I've seen them!

[@nms7872]

Popstar is way better than Hot Rod.

[@EvaFull]

@@nms7872 Definitely prefer it just a little more and have easily watched it more.

[@adrianhooligan]

OMG I DIDNT EVEN THINK ABT THAT YESSSS

Will Arnett KILLED! There's no one I can see playing that douche boyfriend better than him.

[@davidturner4987]

I love these guys and I can honestly say Hot Rod is probably my favorite movie. I can watch it anytime and still laugh as hard a I did the first time. I just completely relate to their sense of humor.

[@Achronos2006]

I was in High school when Hot Rod came out and my friend group loved it. We would go around quoting all the time. I still say Cool beans every now and then haha

[@akbmfm]

"cool cool,"

[@ActualChef]

After Part 1, we immediately rented Hot Rod and revisited it for probably the twentieth time. And it might be getting even better with age. Like a fine wine. It’s a pitch perfect comedy and insanely quotable.

[@toddbannon3380]

I wasn't going to listen to a two-part episode about a movie when i came here for SNL, but now I want to go watch Hot Rod.

[@JorbyTinky]

As a younger Millennial (born in 1994), Hot Rod was THE movie for my friend group. We all still quote this movie to this day.

[@colonialstraits1069]

You must.

[@sixmileswest]

If you're a fan of the lonely island, how have you not watched Hot Rod?!

[@demitasse22]

Please report back at your leisure

[@timekeeper0712]

It's on Pluto TV for free

You will probably never read this but I saw this movie for the first time in the pandemic with my younger brother (he was 15 at the time) not knowing what we were getting into, and we loved how stupid it was. We don't get to watch movies together nowadays and watching Hot Rod is a very good memory for me.

[@occiferkodi]

They probably won’t read it. But I did 😊

Ian McShane has said that if he meets a fan on the street, they will bring up Hot Rod more than anything else he's done.

[@jkap34]

If I saw Ian McShane on the street, I'd definitely call him frank and try to fight him.

Glad to see the group still makes content together

[@brigitperry4991]

So thanks to this podcast, my husband and I watched Hot Rod last night. Not disappointed.

[@nicholasboyer2317]

I was very surprised to hear that this movie was not instantly popular. I first discovered this movie in 2007 in Blockbuster during my middle school years, and I instantly loved it. I have watched it multiple times since then! You four are the best!

[@damianmayo3174]

How did y'all completely skip Bill Hader being given Acid by Akiva at the ice skating rink and then proceeds to float away with a hat on 😂😂😂

[@zooparty1257]

thats in the last one I think

[@ottomhgregory7034]

No mention of the other Akiva cameo either - he can be seen in the background of Kevin's bedroom

[@demitasse22]

“I’ll take the a c i d “

[@jkap34]

​@@demitasse22no akiva says "I have some acid, you want it" whilst extending an empty palm and bill replies "yeah, I'll do it" then cut to bill putting a finger in his mouth while akiva affixed a top hat and slides out of frame. Then cut to bill on his banana board truly tripping balls

[@kdtheii]

Hot Rod is one of my favorite comedies. I made a friend through spontaneously quoting "coo-coo cool beans, beans, cool beans." I still talk about WIll Arnett doing "babe... babe no!" The Footloose montage, Bill's trippin' balls story... so many great moments. Thanks for talking about it!

[@yuhaino]

35:50 i wish they mentioned this but when rod “lands” he slides in front of an ambulance. right in front of it and while his crew runs to him, no actual medical staff bothers and we never see them either. absolutely hilarious if you recognize that it indeed is an ambulance lmao

[@Hatingmeisconforming]

Just the other day, I opened my upstairs window and yelled down to a housemate. "A cooked goose for everyone!"

[@paulstanley8759]

Hot Rod was one of the soundtracks to our 20's. Love it.

[@sheridan7475]

Hot Rod is one of the funniest movies… Kiv should be very proud

[@CinephileStudios]

I liked the movie as soon as I got the DVD in 2008. Bought it at a Blockbuster. It’s my favorite movie, and became a DVD we’d pass around my class in school.

[@CrispusWaterman]

Also bought it from a Blockbuster! Jackpot

[@albertdesantis7738]

"Is there a plate shortage?" From Andy randomly cracked me up

[@Jack.Watters]

Been waiting years for this

[@kay_glo]

I love Hot Rod. I wish I had seen it in the theaters

[@adamrabern3178]

This is one of my favorite comedy movies of all time!!! Love the podcast!!

[@Max-zg2ci]

24:48 that entourage reference made me choke up my coffee 😂😂 last show I expected to be used as an analogy in the making of this movie

[@MosHighChadro]

Hot Rod is hilarious. The cast was perfect. I wish Bill, and Danny were guests on these last 2 episodes. Will was good too, as usual.

[@theturtlebirds8886]

I'm a kid from Kansas and Hot Rod is probably my favorite comedy of all time. Tied with Zoolander lol.

[@Coleossal]

I love you guys! I have been here since Jizz in my Pants. Please talk about all your stuff like Popstar and especially the cameo in the The Watch lol. I would love to hear about the American Dad Antichrist from Andy too, he is so funny. Any time I hear one of you guys are involved in a movie I am already 100% on board. Keep it up!

[@uacole4926]

I have watched Hot Rod over 100 times, with many different people. Its my favorite movie ever! Its so funny and so much fun to watch.

[@niko7890]

This was a classic movie for my family and a bunch of my friends.

[@jonxcix]

My buddies and I were too young to see it in theatres, but it was a huge movie for us when we were in middle school. We still reference it all the time. The “code word is hwhiskey” joke, or saying “hwhere do you get off?” Is my favourite to drop in conversation

[@Scoofy711]

I loved Hot Rod so much growing up, I still quote it daily

[@archangel1of7]

So fun listening to you guys talk about this. I've actually watched the movie twice again in the last week. Although, I don't really need to ever watch it again because I've seen it so many times since seeing it opening weekend that I have it memorized. One of the best. Thank you

[@retrospectors6595]

Y’know where this movie ranked for me back in the day? It was the only movie I had downloaded on my iPod nano in high school. Not only did it take up like half the space of the device, it meant I watched it alllllll the time.

[@thill4854]

Best comedy movie of all time!

[@DanielSt444]

My buddy and I watched Hot Rod in highschool when it came out and it has been our favorite movie ever since. We still quote it all the time and make our girlfriends sit through it while we cackle to ourselves. It's number one

[@sheridan7475]

Akiva is amazing

[@adrianvandongen2756]

I do the arena music for my kids hockey and ringette games and John Farnhams The voice is the song I play while the zamboni is cleaning the ice before the game and the fans are all getting in the stands. When a parent recognizes it from Hot Rod, I know instantly that we will be friends, lol.

[@SpencePC]

I remember when I first saw hot rod. I ordered it on HBO and then forced all my friends to come over that night to watch it again. So funny

[@Lordoftheramble]

Its not just a cooked goose. Its a BOILED GOOOOOSE!

[@grahamman84]

Love Hot rod

[@Max-zg2ci]

I love that idea was to make a movie that seemed low budget yet these episodes have show just how much thought and effort (and luck) goes into making a movie come off low budget. You’d think it’s be easy to pull off but keeping things on track and staying true to what you want to do-while keeping things funny-seems like a helluva effort

[@joeyflores5336]

Watched Hot Rod and I love it

[@PrimetimeHero]

I was a 16 year old in Kansas. Can confirm: this moving rules.

[@theturtlebirds8886]

Senior year in a small Kansas town for me. Me and my buddies saw it in theaters together. We loved it. Probably watched it a dozen times over the years. Still say cool beans all the time.

[@TwistedSkeinCrochet]

My kids are growing up with Lonely Island, Sandler, Farrel, Stiller & Carey in their lives!

[@jfeldmandrums]

I love this movie and lonley Island!

[@CallMeBellson]

I actually saw hot rod and roadhouse for the first time on the same day!

[@Davidium84]

To this day it is one of the best movies that I have ever seen! Me and all my friends and family here in Sweden loved this movie from the start sooooo much and we made everyone see it that we got to know and they also loved it! It was an instant cult movie here in Sweden but it was straight to dvd and didn’t even go to the cinema I don’t know if you are aware of HOW loved this film is within 30-40(I was like 24 at the time it came out) year olds here in Sweden at least! I loved hearing you talk about it in this episode and last and it really broke my heart that you felt it slammed like it did but in our universe in Sweden it was such an instant hit it was basicly maaad funny and still holds up like pure comedy gold!!!

[@savedbythebelldeepdives]

I was never good at dating. Case in point: I was at a loss as to what to do with a lovely young lady and figured - Hey, that guy's on SNL, maybe the movie is funny and we should see it without any idea as to what it is. She didn't laugh at all. I was sold on the pelvic-thrusting Richardson. We did not go on another date.

[@bryguy5622]

I saw the movie on opening night. Thought it was the movie of the year. It really killed when it came out on DVD. Put it on when people are stoned in the dorm room, and it caught them by surprise.

[@occiferkodi]

Im so glad I waited til after listening to both episodes before rewatching Hot Rod

[@cacacalr]

No mention of Queens of the Stone Age playing live in the big jump scene :( i really wanted to know how is that came up

[@ActualChef]

I had forgotten about that part until we re-watched it recently. Were they Queens fans? It’s so awesome to see Josh in that dumb wig.

[@cacacalr]

@@ActualChef yeah man it was awesome and I totally wanted to hear about that. I hope they are also fans.

[@GenerallyDepressing]

They talk about it on the DVD commentary. It is a fun story, and I was also hoping they would mention it in this.

[@bobbycortes2422]

I honestly think there's some kind of contractual thing behind why they don't mention them because even in the dvd commentary they didn't outright say who they were iirc.

[@mikequinlivan8842]

@@bobbycortes2422true; I believe they appeared as the band “Gown.” Which is an awesomely bad/incredible band name.

[@JonOfTheDead23]

It's so incredibly sad that hot rod didn't do that well in theaters. You guys are all incredible and that is still a movie I watch at least 10 times a year. We watch it as a family and still laugh or asses off every single time. There's not one bit I don't like. You made that movie for me. Thank you

[@Nimnil]

I'm loving this podcast, like I know for sure the guys are wise enough not to read YT comment sections - but just to offset the "this isn't funny" pricks; this is in fact funny.

[@kdp6494]

I think a Hot Rod Sequal would be great. Make it about a tiny kid in the neighborhood who was picked on an outcasted. he then learns of a legendary stuntman and how a stunt changed his life, which inspires this kid. He then tries to establish a crew... have it end with Hot rod being a manager of a subway...

[@JeffDennisBrown]

They didn't even mention one of my favorite parts, when Kevin is singing to his stuffed animals. That Quaid found his audience right there.

[@snacktime2497]

My favorite line in the history of cinema is Danny McBride casually walking up to the group and saying, "Yoohoo, shitheads".

I'm happy to say that I saw Welcome to the Dollhouse way back when.

[@jennilapham5887]

Maybe I missed it but I kept waiting for them to mention when Rod goes in Kevin’s room and he’s singing One More Try by George Michael to the stuffed animals. That’s one of my fave parts it’s so silly

[@gamblerizzo7468]

I still don’t know why, but my mom bought my brother and I the hot rod DVD to watch on our car dvd player and it didn’t matter if we drove 5 min to school or a multi hour drive, hot rod was playing and being recited to no end which turned into me showing every single person in my life since r the movie so I never have to stop quoting it
