in its opening weekend. A lover of potty humor, Gerwig said that she and Houy have tried to sneak in a fart joke into every film they've collaborated on, to no avail. “In every movie we've made together, we've always tried to get in, like, a proper fart joke, and we've never done it,” said Gerwig. Houy added that the attempt typically "dies like two-thirds of the way through editorial.
Gerwig elaborated on the scene, describing it as a "fart opera" that was hit or miss depending on the audience. "We really put together this giant fart opera, and I thought it was really funny. That was not the consensus." Houy explains that the fart opera didn't make the final cut because it also came at an awkward point in the film: “It was in the wrong place, too.”
Gerwig and Huoy didn't elaborate on the fart opera, or “fartpera" if you will, but it's easy to imagineand his gaggle of Kens farting up a storm in their Mojo Dojo Casa House.
