'''Creator/WillFerrell''': Lifetime?\\
'''Zach Galifianakis''': I'm a white man and I'm straight, I deserve it.
TheMovie of internet talk show ''WebVideo/BetweenTwoFerns'', directed by Scott Aukerman.
Creator/ZachGalifianakis plays the host of ''Between Two Ferns'', a small-time web interview series that Website/FunnyOrDie founder Creator/WillFerrell produces for kicks. But after a disastrous interview with Creator/MatthewMcConaughey destroys the public access station the series is filmed in, Ferrell forces Galifianakis and his crew to go on a road trip across the country to produce more episodes of the show.
In addition to a host of celebrity cameos as the interview guests, the film also features Creator/LaurenLapkus as plucky assistant Carol, Creator/RyanGaul as cameraman Cam, and Jiavani Linayao as boom mic operator "Boom Boom". The film was released on September 20, 2019 on Creator/{{Netflix}}.

!!Tropes:
* AdamWesting: Most of the celebrities featured are made fun of (eg. Creator/JonHamm is played as an idiot, Creator/BenedictCumberbatch's name is unpronounceable, Creator/PeterDinklage is an obnoxious rich party animal, Creator/WillFerrell is an asshole coked-up media exec). Galifianakis in particular plays himself as an oblivious, incompetent SmallNameBigEgo host.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Creator/RashidaJones, as in real life. Zach asks her what race she is.
* EmpatheticEnvironment: It's raining heavily as Zach walks upset and alone on the roadside.
* CoincidentalBroadcast: Parodied, at his lowest point Zach catches a show titled "Don't Give Up", and, well...
* CompensatingForSomething: Zach suggests this is the reason Creator/DavidLetterman likes fast cars.
* GirlFriday: Carol is the reliable, earnest right-hand woman to Zach.
* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: Lampshaded; the cameraman's name is Cam.
* IAmVeryBritish: Zach accuses Creator/BenedictCumberbatch of his posh British accent accent covering up for his lack of acting skills.
* {{Mockumentary}}: The entire thing is being filmed by a camera crew, including all the dramatics.
* MockHollywoodSign: The "Ferns" backdrop is a mockup of the Hollywood sign.
* RoadTripPlot: The crew drives from North Carolina to Los Angeles, interviewing several celebrities along the way.
* SellOut: The crew accuses Zach of becoming this after his gimmicky, high-profile network talk show debuts.
* SkewedPriorities: After nearly drowning in the flood and after nearly getting into a car accident, Zach's main priority is his ferns.
* ShoutOut: In addition to the [[ActorAllusion references to the interviewees' careers]].
** Zach asks if Music/ChanceTheRapper's brother is named "[[TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}} Community Chest]]".
** Creator/BrieLarson is erroneously (in-universe) credited with ''Series/TheMarvelousMrsMaisel''.
* StylisticSuck: The interviews are stilted and awkward, with Galifianakis making the guests uncomfortable.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Zach Galifianakis, who is a rude, unpleasant wannabe host who exploits his crew.
