i don't know if this would have happened without these suits. because you go too soon when you're in -- say we were in street clothes or lame clothes like the band. or guillermo. it's harder to -- >> boo! >> melissa: boo! it would have been harder for us to touch hands so quickly. >> yes, i can agree with that. >> melissa: i feel like we made the leap to best friends right away. because of our outfits. >> i -- i feel like we should cut ourselves and share blood. [ laughter ] >> melissa: or get shot like animals -- too soon for a hunting joke? okay, i'll wait for it. i watched your fantastic movie. >> dicky: you like it? >> melissa: it is -- it's so -- it's like a look into a world that you're like, oh no. i'm going to follow those people for 24 hours until someone restrains me and says, you can't keep following them. it's so tricky. do you find it tricky to explain

what it is? >> sort of. so our movie is about a movie called "the room" which is considered the best worst movie ever made. >> melissa: it's like a cult -- >> huge cult thing. >> melissa: crazy, crazy following. >> the reason it stands apart from the other really bad movies like -- you think of "sharknado," "birdemic." they know they're "b" movies, they know they're silly and over the top. "the room" -- i know i'm being serious, while i wear this. [ laughter ] the guy at the center of it, tommy wiseau, put his heart and soul into the movie. >> melissa: how many of you have seen the original "the room"? [ scattered applause ] >> when people are watching "the room," whether or not they're aware of it, you feel that passion underneath because he's trying to make an earnest drama. >> melissa: there's no doubt he wasn't like 50 billion percent in it. it's him like, okay. he's all-in.

>> absolutely. the movie came out in one theater and he paid to keep it in that theater for two weeks to make it eligible for the academy awards. you can see where his head was at at that time. [ laughter ] >> melissa: it's heartbreaking, and also like, attaboy! >> sure, exactly. >> melissa: i'm torn, i don't know what i think of it. do you know i've had -- i have a personal experience with tommy. >> go on. [ laughter ] >> melissa: which i didn't know for quite a while after. i used to live in los felis. someone came to my door. in l.a. if someone's at the door you're like, what's happening? i open the door and there was this very eccentric person -- >> tommy came to your door? >> melissa: yes, and he had a box and a bunch of vhs tapes. i'm a filmmaker, director, writer, actor, i'm doing a terrible accent, but everything about him i was like, all pistons are firing, he's incredible. >> melissa: he was selling "the room" door to door.

it was promotional just for the movie. i bought it. somewhere in my attic i know i still have it. then later i drove by and saw the billboard. >> real quick, back up. so if you know what tommy wiseau looks like, he refers to himself as a vampire, he looks like a hybrid between a vampire -- >> melissa: and just a straight vampire. >> did you buy it because of his pitch? or did you feel bad? >> melissa: everything. no, everything. i bought it, first of all, i was like, are you going door door? it wasn't like, oh, i need money. he's like, you've got to get out there, i wrote this, i directed it, i produce it. everything about it i was like, yeah! make our own stuff! i will buy your movie! i will! i had no idea it would become -- now i wish i would have been like, can i buy 20 movies? >> from the beginning i think people almost expected us to

make a broadcomdy where we were making fun of tommy and "the room." but that was never our intention. >> melissa: it doesn't come across like that at all. >> we want it to be a celebration of him and a celebration of people who go after their dreams. >> melissa: and the eccentric ones. the ones that follow their own path. there's something really charming. no matter how eccentric it is. you're like, yeah, go ahead and be who you are! and you're so good in it. >> thank you. >> melissa: it's such a fun -- have you done anything with your brother before? like a film? >> right. [ laughter ] >> melissa: no, wait a minute. >> going did let that sit in the air for a minute. >> melissa: not those, i saw those. >> this is the first time we've worked together in a really substantial way. and it was great. i mean, he directed -- he plays tommy. he directed us in character. >> melissa: your brother's james franco, i should say that. >> yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> melissa: one of the three boys. >> three boys. >> melissa: all three of you are

in this? >> yes, our brother tom has a very small cameo. he directed us as tommy wiseau, which is not normal, that's not a normal thing. >> melissa: wait, wait, at all times? >> at all times. >> melissa: he stayed in character? >> yeah, yeah. it was definitely -- it was an adjustment period for everyone. i think i got used to it quicker than most because he's my brother and there's not much he can do that surprises me anymore. for example, seth rogen, it took him a week to get to a point where he didn't just laugh in his face every time he looked at him. >> melissa: that's supportive. >> it all added to the meta weirdness of it all, put it in the mindset of what i it might have been like to be directed by tommy. >> melissa: staying in that all the time is amazing. we're going to show you a clip from "the disaster artist." do you want to set up what this particular -- >> no, i don't know what it is. let's see. >> melissa: oh! let's see. we'll all enjoy together. >> great. >> come on, come on! >> all right. >> mountaintop right now! wind going -- >> are you mad?

no you not that -- i yawn -- yawn i -- swift conductor -- >> the bell puller -- >> are you fattick, are you fattick, in a thunderstorm, nor ring a bell of any sort -- >> wow, how this guy, wow. >> thank you. >> wow. everybody got lucky today. we don't have to pay for this performance. [ cheers and applause ] >> melissa: "the disaster artist," in theaters everywhere tomorrow. dave franco, everybody. when we come back, music from hanson! >> dicky: the jimmy kimmel live concert series is presented by mercedes-benz. the best or nothing.
