world crime is at an all-time
high and the only thing standing between
order and chaos
is us matt stein thank you so much for
taking the time out to catch up with us
yeah thank you describe
team america and it's it's basically
thunderbirds done
by the guys who do south park and i
guess that's a pretty good description
now it's great
to see you um having fun at the expense
of some of hollywood's biggest stars
have any of them any
come back with any feedback um only one
hasn't that sean penn you know we have
like featured like eight or nine
um like actors in the movie and that
part of the movie was supposed to be and
whether it works or not i don't know but
it was supposed to be about
how when you become a celebrity and you
become like very celebrated
you think you know everything about
everything including like
geopolitics when you're done when you
obviously don't so sean penn's the only
one who got mad the rest of them i think
have a sense of humor about it
and what did matt damon ever did you
become to become this healthy
you know but that's the thing is we
don't think about this stuff that much
it's like matt
matt damon he literally the the the
sculpt came out of the oven just kind of
looking mentally
and so we're just looking at the puppet
and we're sitting there rip riffing on
like
just making noises and i was
like that's why he's i think
matt damon's a
really talented actor and i've met him
before he's a great guy
and i'm sure he has a sense humor about
it because it's obviously so stupid he
can't really be offended
but i think the uk sense of humor is
possibly
more subversive than means from a human
and it may work
on that level i hope it does and i've
been saying this is a train eyes humor
definitely i think is more british than
american and that's not just like oh
because i'm here in england saying that
we train i've
have been very vocal and we're huge
monty python fans we watch all
british comedy we've always considered
ourselves more
kind of insensibility and satirical
level
more british than americans so i think
that part will
work more and i hope people here see and
all people overseas in general see
see that part that we're talking about
that the movies are not about ripping on
the politics of one side or the other
although it's having
that's fun to do and you should be able
to laugh at even your own political
side but it's really kind of like
hopefully i'll get the kind of firestorm
it is to be in the middle of to actually
be an american i mean i was doing a
i did one interview with a canadian uh
reporter
not too long ago and he really got on my
ass about like but george what he was
yelling at me about
about george bush and i was like whoa
and i finally said it was actually
worked out perfect he was like
so what's your move about about this and
i was like it's about how you're making
me feel right now
because i don't know what i'm getting
you know i'm feeling ashamed to be an
american but i'm also feeling prideful
and like i want to
put your lights out you know for yelling
at me so it is like that is that
it's the confusion and that's kind of
what the movie's about i'll ask you one
final question by your
own definition it's obviously you're not
an so using the criteria of the
movie would that make you a dick or a
i'm definitely a dick
yeah definitely dick sometimes i'm a
like this morning when i had to
wake up and i didn't want to wake up and
i was all
crybaby it's kind of but normal
time i'm just kind of a dick
much time thank you for your time cool
thank you
