ANDERS HOLM:It’s been in there from draft one.
So what better way to reward that behavior than by cutting his dick off?
Sure, it even resonates more now.
How many prosthetics did you go through?
I think there might have been a half-dozen.
There was no prosthetic for Adam Devine, I’ll tell you that.
That was the real deal.
Even his penis, it bounces funnyhe’s a funny guy, his penis bounces funny.
At one point, we had decided that we were going to show Adam naked… Yeah, let’s do it, because who cares, it doesn’t matter.
Of course you do.
What did Netflix have to say?
Netflix were super hands-off.
They read the script, they got it.
It sounds so corny, but they believed in us and our penises.
What’s the last severed penis you saw in a movie?
Sorry, I get revved up about this.
That’s okay, you’re allowed to get revved up about this.
But that was a real heartbreaker because I was like, “Man, they did it.”
We’re not reinventing the wheel; we’re late to the party.
Were you able to push the boundaries because it was Netflix and not a traditional movie studio?
But as the landscape changes, we see the benefits of Netflix, and it’s been pretty good.
There’s no studio that would make this movie how it is.
What could we see you guys reunite again on?
Hopefully something in space?
