The Lost Hans and Franz Movie: Episode 3 | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@GodlessG0D]

Somebody needs to animate all of these scenes and turn them into an actual movie.

[@angelpipessd]

Only if Arnold is voiced by 1. real Arnold, 2. Josh Robert Thompson’s impression of Arnold or 3. (My preference) Robert Smigel’s insane Arnold 😂

[@PezQ84]

Take literally all my wealth and make it happen

[@andreasheld2362]

Any Midjourney-Wizards around?

[@ARealPersonNotABot]

​@@andreasheld2362 I have been trying to make it work with Midjourney, the problem is the look changes from scene to scene. One pic looks a lot like them, the next pic looks nothing like them. It's best to animate it, or a reenactment

[@ryanflanagan6722]

Great idea! It could easily be a TV Funhouse production

[@JillKnapp]

Dana is such a pure, wholesome soul. I love how he just wants to avoid conflict. ❤

[@marcusmcdowell7844]

You caught that Austin powers reaction in his face too? I thought I was the only one.

[@arsmor1end1]

He's so nice he's still friendly with Dennis Miller.

[@Marshall_Stacks]

@@arsmor1end1 They both suck.

[@Challam3ow]

Im missing something- can you explain please 🥺👉👈

[@JayDubyaDub]

@@Challam3ow It's possible Smigel didn't know, but Dana Carvey and Mike Myers - who used to be thick as thieves, right, Wayne's World, etc? - are on the outs specifically over Dr. Evil. Carvey resents that Myers stole the character, the voice, the pinky thing, etc. IIRC Carvey has mentioned in interviews talking to a therapist about privately resenting Myers about it, and has also previously stated never actually talking to Myers about it directly, which, if they were friends and colleagues before... yeah, anyway, you could tell it was a sore spot and Carvey just didn't want to deflate the comedy podcast with that... that or they edited it out, maybe, but seems more like he was - hey wait a minute, don't say someone else was unique and a comedy genius who "cracked the code" with Dr. Evil... in a conversation WITH Dana Carvey... who feels like he invented Dr. Evil!

[@MJubecki1984]

I am sooooooo sad there is only one more episode of this. This show has brought me so much pure giggling joy.

[@rtwilho]

These have been an absolute delight. Someone animate this. This would be great animated.

[@AntonioThunderbottom]

Dana's face when Robert forgets that he made the Dr. Evil character haha

[@rhapsodyinglue8758]

For real, I heard it coming and was praying Rob would remember. Poor Dana got soooo hosed on that whole thing. Totally ruined my respect for Myers.

[@jontyboyo6630]

To anyone behind making something like this finally see the light of day - Danke

[@florianadolf2256]

Omg, Robert Smigel is more Arnie than Arnie himself; I am lmao😂😂😂... The entire ensemble is out of control. Totally love it! Why has this flick never been produced so far?!?

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

If you love Smigel's Arnold, then look up all the Live via Satellite bits from Conan's old show, there's a billion of them

[@djgrom9542]

It was never produced because of two people Stuart Smalley and Pat

[@cfcSDrake]

I believe they wanted Schwarzenegger to come and do it, but as awesome as that would have been, I loved Smigel doing it

[@florianadolf2256]

@cfcSDrake No, no - ☝️Robert Smigle (or Smaigl) *has to* do it. Kevin Nealon and Dana Carvey are Hans and Franz. Conan narrates the overall storyline. The cast is actually pretty clear... except maybe for the fact who exactly is Hans and who is Franz. But I wouldn't clear that up in any potential movie at all. I'd leave it exactly how it is😏

[@PezQ84]

I think they struck gold with this one! What a delight each week!

[@theJohnGaltLine]

Spaceballs was released in 1987 and was very meta. Even watched the movie within the movie.

[@229BlackHat]

This may sound weird at first, but hear me out. I think that everybody who is against the strike needs to watch this series. Hearing them not only voice act it out, but the stories of how everything is done and the thought processes they go through is inspiring and would probably open people’s eyes a bit as to what these amazing people actually do for their money. Pay these people yesterday

[@hippiecolleen1352]

Conan.... I am FRICKEN LOVING THESE..... , I am so addicted and can't wait for the next one to come out!!! This is hilarious and beyond....

[@toolrjm]

This is gold. And the whole Ebert tangent 🤌

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

I missed Smigels Arnold impression so much, it takes me back to the old days of the Late Night show!

[@luckyDancer100]

Every time Smigel screams “crackers!” in that Schwarzenegger voice, my heart skips a beat. It’s so intimidating haha.

[@zizinnnn]

this makes my day! I swear on my cardiovascular system😂

[@TheMusicalArtist]

Aged Hans and Fran’s will actually be Hilarious! They’re demented and angry !!

[@florianadolf2256]

Right?? They're even berating potted plants and whatnot, lol 😆 😂 😂

[@jeremyhayes9793]

This whole arch of Hans & Franz was Amazing! I'm a mid 80s baby, so I Loved old school SNL. Had this been made, this might have been the best SNL movie besides Wayne's World!

[@Bricameron]

I love it when Kevin calls Hans,Hansie.😂

[@harishmoniprakash4881]

Best part of my last 3 Wednesdays!

[@kevinkeels6845]

I’m positive I’m enjoying these table reads more than I would have enjoyed the actual movie. This needs to be a weekly podcast of un-produced screenplays.

[@caniican]

I'm really really really enjoying this series. It's so wonderful that you let me be a fly on the wall and hang out in that room with all of you. I was a guest in the audience of an employee of Saturday Night Live years ago and feel like I know you all personally. You're all born to spread joy ....and that's what you're doing right now folks. LOL✌😄

[@eyarbroughzone]

"Finally a role which REQUIRES you suck". The greatest line ever! It still makes me laugh after all this time.

[@jmwblues1345]

I love this idea so much. Definitely the clip I look most forward to each week. Hopefully it’s an 800 parter… Conan, come to SDCC!!!

[@PoeticallyTwizted]

Okay, I know I'm not the only one loving these, but I really hope this script reaches whomever it needs to in order to come to fruition. And even if it doesn't, not only am I excited to be following along with the read-through, I'm already hungry for more! These episodes of just some brilliant writers riffing have been some of my personal favorites (near but not quite Chill Chums.) I hope they find another lost script of some other "forgotten" movie from the 90's...or maybe even decide to build a story from the ground up? 👀

[@gregthealien9981]

I'll be honest, I listened to the first two installments stone sober, and now I find myself stone drunk and high watching the third episode... I am so excited!

[@FreshmanMedia1]

I love watching the behind the scenes on how this "movie" was made from the start

[@kalliana13]

We need more of these four geniuses doing anything together. We just need more. 😂😂😂😂

[@robinziphood]

absolutely love the energy in this room

[@gardenlover9663]

Gavin MacLeod also played Murray on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. He was in McHale's Navy. He played the "bad guy" in the hilarious movie, The Party. Birdy Num Nums!

[@nickwills1815]

Holy hell that moment about Austin powers with cut-to Dana

[@kalifiael3826]

You need to do more table reads of movies!! Love this 😂😅😊

[@jayrock2288]

Make this movie happen HBO Max

[@DirtyFrigginHarry]

Arnold just did frickin netflix SERIES. I think He'd sign on at this point I think. Hell, Smigel could ADR all his lines he wouldn't even have to talk. Dolph would definitely do it. The real question is who's gonna play Saget, Ritter, and Ebert.

[@lachauntiswashington231]

I love this episode. This needs to be animated 😂😂😂😂

[@SteveShaha]

Somebody in Hollywood...PLEASE MAKE THIS MOVIE!

[@jarooosa]

Ivan Reitman would have directed this movie. The man was a genius.

[@timmartin8191]

The reading of this movie that was never made reminds me that life is definitely worth living.

[@XAMS]

I'm sure that Roger Ebert would have been 100% into this. He had a great sense of humor. Siskel would have been so so jelous of being left out though lol

[@YouOpaOpa]

9:40 That joke reminded me of Spaceballs actually. Kinda surprises me that no one there were reminded of that.

[@crithon]

WHOA! John Ritter, I draw the line on that!

[@Whatever-you-wanted]

I adore this! Thanks guys.

[@fangofsilver5537]

Mel Brooks used watching the movie in the movie meta-style in Spaceballs 1987🤔

[@spezzini]

And Blazing Saddles

[@caniican]

The pure whackiness and comedic genius is very reminiscent of Monty Python Style. You got to love it

[@2packs4sure]

I'm telling you this damn thing could still be made and I wish it would be,,, the tricky part is everyone's much older but that could be written in early in the script, made a joke out of,,, maybe a few call backs to how old they are now-old jokes,, but otherwise keep the script as is,,,, if done right it'd be friggin funny !!!

[@jesseslack2089]

What a miss for Arnold's pump food not being a cookie..."My COOOKIES!"

Instant Cassettes scene from Spaceballs sounds pretty close to the device they use in this script. Dark Helmet: "Fast-forward through this part!" Random Spaceball Crew member: "Fast-forwarding, Sir!" Dark Helmet: "In fact, never show this again!"

Hilarious! It can still be made now that Arnold is older looking back on his life. Still enough fans of Hans n Franz (and all of you old 🤪comedians) that you could get a deal on Netflix or any streaming service and make it a series. Guaranteed. I will gladly donate a double digit amount to a go fund me to have this made.

Thanks Team

[@stanleyfranks9891]

These have been amazing😂❤

[@stepitupandgo67]

This would have been so much better than most of the snl sketch movies...and probably would have been great for Arnold's career...(not that he really needed it)...

[@hanstubben]

This film would have been on par with one of Monty Python's films. The level of absurdity is thrue the roof! It would be an instant cult classic!

[@karinaadame9701]

Yes! The whole time I’ve been listening I just keep think about how its really on the Monty python level

[@darlingbella]

[@ianbettinger1779]

8:20 All those 80s movies with Eddie Murphy. The bad guy was an actual bad guy with no jokes. Rob Smigel is a comedy savant.

[@caniican]

.. many people commenting it should be animated I agree. A Saturday morning cartoon or even South Park type show maybe Comedy Central later in the evening broadcast. Hans and Franz characters are so lovable everything they do is a win

[@atatur123]

Dana brought it up though

[@PezQ84]

😅

[@nickwills1815]

​@Vijai Srinivas, but then Robert brought up the creation of the non main character, Dr evil, which is arguably Dana's Lorne

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

Everyone would impersonate Lorne, though. I've never understood that. Lorne it the most easily impersonated person in 30 Rock. Also, Dana was eating something I think, there wasn't any "looking daggers" lol or whatever all these comments are saying (3 of them, I counted)

[@MahkyVmedia1]

I was only under the impression that it would only go for three parts because movies usually have three acts but okay I'll be back for episode four

[@matthedlund502]

Surprised that no one mentioned that Roger Ebert wrote the screen play for Russ Meyer's X-rated satire "Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls." A extremely ribald and outrageous movie...I think Ebert would have been up for Hans and Franz.

This movie could be entirely made by using photos cutouts animated like south park episodes and voice actors. Like that all actors look in their prime and dead ones very much alive.

[@patreekotime4578]

The Siskel and Ebert joke is very similar to the "Space Balls The VHS Tape" joke... and Space Balls came out in 87. Also, the advantage to doing this as an animated short is that it doesnt matter that half the cast is dead.
