Speaker 1: because most people still are not well.
Speaker 2: It's not only that movies. Not only are it being
Speaker 2: pushed movie the whole industry has been shut down like

Speaker 2: world to have to go back to work in the
Speaker 2: way that we are going back to work. I had

Speaker 1: in a quote unquote an entanglement with August Alcina. Right,
Speaker 1: well just recently August decides to come out and be
Speaker 1: like I was in a relationship with her. So Jada
Speaker 1: being a fucking genius is like, I'm bringing myself to
Speaker 1: the Red Table, which is her own show.
Speaker 2: I also read that they were separated at that time.
Speaker 2: You should mention that.
Speaker 1: Well, she brings herself to the Red Table with Will
Speaker 1: Smith to talk about it. In this video that I watched,
Speaker 1: They're very much like ride or die for each other?
Speaker 2: Want Will Smith and Jada come to her talk show.
Speaker 1: She has a talk show on YouTube, Bread called tabletop.
Speaker 2: Okay, so they sit there the red table, they sit down
Speaker 2: and they and what happened.
Speaker 1: They talk about it all about how they were in
Speaker 1: a dark place, how they went their separate ways for
Speaker 1: like five months, which she then got into an entanglement
Speaker 1: and Will was like, why don't you call it what
Speaker 1: it is a relationship, and she goes, we were yes,
Speaker 1: that's what it was, and it is like she said
Speaker 1: after that, she was like, she feels so free, and
Speaker 1: you know it's always been up in the air, like
Speaker 1: because August Alcina said that they got into a relationship
Speaker 1: with Will Smith's blessing. So everyone's like, are they in
Speaker 1: an open relationship? Blah blah blah. Here's the thing. If
Speaker 1: it doesn't affect me, I really don't give a shit
Speaker 1: who you're banging.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but can we talk about Will's reaction?
Speaker 4: He's already been memed. He's like sitting there with tears
Speaker 4: in his eyes talking about the entanglement.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He his face really said it all. He looked
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable and sad and like it was sad.
Speaker 2: But are they happy now?
Speaker 1: I here's the thing. It's Hollywood, who normally they're really
Speaker 1: happy watching this I think they've been married for twenty
Speaker 1: five years. They hit bumps in the road. I think
Speaker 1: they're so.
Speaker 2: Bad as they were stop top time out. Please, let's
Speaker 2: give them that credit. Twenty five years of marriage in
Speaker 2: Hollywood is a very tough thing, So I give them
Speaker 2: a and being Will Smith, now I don't think that
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, oh my god, it's so hard to be
Speaker 2: Will Smith. I'm saying being in a relationship twenty five years,
Speaker 2: whether you work, you know, in real estate or a
Speaker 2: banker or in Hollywood, it's it's it's gonna have its
Speaker 2: ups and downs. But also Hollywood definitely complicated.
Speaker 1: Well, twenty five years in Hollywood is like one hundred years,
Speaker 1: let's be honest.
Speaker 2: So I give them, I give them props for that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that is an incredible I'm gonna have to watch that.
Speaker 2: That's scene.
Speaker 1: You'll have to watch it because she says that she
Speaker 1: feels very free after she went through all of that,
Speaker 1: you know, and spoke to him at the red table.
Speaker 1: But in twenty four hours it had fifteen million views.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so she's she's a genius.
Speaker 2: Okay, you have a little more t I see, because
Speaker 2: that list looks like it's a, uh, there's a report card.
Speaker 1: It's not really a report card. I couldn't do this
Speaker 1: podcast without acknowledging the fact that the Glee cast is
Speaker 1: lost now their third a third member.
Speaker 4: It's horrible.
Speaker 1: It's horrible, it's horrible, devastating.
Speaker 2: I mean, I cannot believe this poor little boy is
Speaker 2: sitting in a boat, never to see his mom again.
Speaker 2: Doesn't know. I can't even imagine the horror and then
Speaker 2: the rest of his life. This is it. This is
Speaker 2: what he remembers. It's just it's it's first of all,
Speaker 2: it's tragic to lose any human being. But I'm just
Speaker 2: saying her son, this is what he will remember. You know,
Speaker 2: my mother got in the water, went for a swim.
Speaker 2: You know it probably jumped in or well.
Speaker 1: I read on CNN that they got in the water
Speaker 1: together and she got up enough strength to put him
Speaker 1: back in the boat, because clearly she knew something was something,
Speaker 1: something was happening.
Speaker 2: Do you think she had or that nature or heart
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe a freak heart attack. I mean, something
Speaker 2: had to happen catastrophically.
Speaker 1: They just found her, I believe this morning. So I'm
Speaker 1: sure they're going to do the autopsy but the corner
Speaker 1: said that she had enough strength to get her son
Speaker 1: back in the boat, not herself.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to say something. When I read this story,
Speaker 2: it brought tearspides. I could not believe that's might this happen? Yes,
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want to say it's a curse,
Speaker 2: but you know, they've lost a bunch of cast members
Speaker 2: and it's it's tragic. And then they're young. All of
Speaker 2: them have been very young.
Speaker 1: I think in Maya was only like thirty three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's this week in general, it has been
Speaker 4: a really bad week for celebrity deaths because Kelly Preston died,
Speaker 4: who we had worked with.
Speaker 2: That was just I want to say, for one second, yeah,
Speaker 2: and that's the other thing. I mean, you know you
Speaker 2: got to meet Kelly.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I didn't know if you wanted me to talk
Speaker 1: about that, because I don't know if you I know
Speaker 1: that you know her or knew her personally, So I
Speaker 1: didn't want it.
Speaker 2: I grieved in my own way and I and I
Speaker 2: went through that and it was it's hard to talk
Speaker 2: about because it's just like she was such an amazing
Speaker 2: mother and wife. And I text John Travolta obviously the
Speaker 2: day it happened. I know that he's far removed from
Speaker 2: his telephone for probably a long time, but I can.
Speaker 1: Tell you that he is because on his Instagram he said,
Speaker 1: if you are reaching out, this isn't ver baby him,
Speaker 1: but that he and his family are going to be
Speaker 1: not engaging for a while, but that your messages don't
Speaker 1: goet noticed.
Speaker 2: And I just think that she was such a shining light,
Speaker 2: so fun, so happy, so just you could tell that
Speaker 2: every moment of life when you hung out with her
Speaker 2: or worked with her creatively, or just had a dinner
Speaker 2: with her, she was just so just beautiful in every way.
Speaker 1: So it is I can definitely I only knew her
Speaker 1: through you Rand. Yeah, And it was really funny because
Speaker 1: obviously I am not an A list celebrity, nor am
Speaker 1: I known for film. And so when you had Gaudi
Speaker 1: and I was going to the carpets with you into
Speaker 1: the film festival, and can like, I was very intimidated.
Speaker 1: I felt insecure, and she for some reason, I don't
Speaker 1: know if she could feel my energy, but she always
Speaker 1: made me feel like I I belonged to there.
Speaker 2: But that's the magic of Kelly Preston. She it didn't
Speaker 2: matter if you were, you know, taking her order at
Speaker 2: a dinner, or you were her co star, or you
Speaker 2: were a producer, or even my father who sat next
Speaker 2: door at a dinner we had in Ohio. She just,
Speaker 2: you know, was that person. She was just a beautiful,
Speaker 2: beautiful woman, and she treated everybody with fairness. And she
Speaker 2: was very, very honorable. And I will miss her and
Speaker 2: I will miss everything she stood for. And at least,
Speaker 2: you know, she left us with some incredible films and
Speaker 2: roles that we will get to, you know, see her
Speaker 2: over and over in that respect.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and her last film she ever did was
Speaker 1: your film, I know.
Speaker 2: I know, so I take a lot of pride and
Speaker 2: honor that, you know, she that was the last roles
Speaker 2: that she acted in, and she was so happy because
Speaker 2: her and John were doing it together. Yeah, And I
Speaker 2: don't think people, you know, I think they're so professional,
Speaker 2: you know when it comes to world that John and
Speaker 2: Kelly they love promoting the movie and working on it together.
Speaker 2: And it was like you know, watching like when you
Speaker 2: and I do the podcast. But when we were on set,
Speaker 2: you know, they were just two professional actors.
Speaker 1: They just didn't they knew how to separate things right,
Speaker 1: because they.
Speaker 2: Both were there doing a job, and they both are
Speaker 2: super professional. And John was a producer on the movie,
Speaker 2: and Kelly had been working on that film with John
Speaker 2: for like six years to get it made. So I'm very,
Speaker 2: very proud to have gotten work with both of them.
Speaker 2: And I will tell you you know, they sent me
Speaker 2: footage of that can and I watched it the other
Speaker 2: day a few videos, and it was really hard to
Speaker 2: watch because she was so happy and so beautiful and
Speaker 2: so such a shining light. And I just I really
Speaker 2: hope people listening to this podcast will go and watch
Speaker 2: some of the movies that Kelly Preston. Was it.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break and we will
Speaker 1: be right back. Are you good?
Speaker 2: All right? We are back. I got a little emotional.
Speaker 1: I'll pulled it together with a big kiss. Where's this kiss?
Speaker 2: Stop lying?
Speaker 1: Tops, you're just lying.
Speaker 2: You just said you gave me Lucas. We have Lucas
Speaker 2: Hawes here, Lucas say hello, everybody. All right, she didn't
Speaker 2: give me a kiss, and she just straight up bullshit
Speaker 2: at me. Now you want to get me a kiss? Okay?
Speaker 2: Thank you? All right? So everybody, we Have Lucas Has Lucas.
Speaker 2: What I love about you because I'm a movie geek
Speaker 2: and I am a cinephile and I love you movies.
Speaker 2: I know all of your films. I've always wanted to
Speaker 2: work with you, and this first time we've worked together.
Speaker 2: We know each other in Hollywood, We've friends with the
Speaker 2: same friends. Very Hollywood kind of thing. But just tell
Speaker 2: me kind of how you started, how you got into acting,
Speaker 2: because a lot of people don't. Your body of work
Speaker 2: is so diverse and so epic, but like, how did
Speaker 2: it start? Yeah, what did it for you?
Speaker 5: The way I started was my mom became a writer.
Speaker 5: It was their first the first thing she ever wrote.
Speaker 5: She wrote this pilot and it was a live studio
Speaker 5: audience and I was in the audience watching that, and
Speaker 5: when I saw that, I became obsessed.
Speaker 3: From that moment.
Speaker 5: Forward and what age, I was like four wow, And
Speaker 5: I was like really obsessed.
Speaker 3: So I was asking I even remember this.
Speaker 5: I remember asking them, like pulling on their clothes, asking
Speaker 5: them if I could be an actor, you know, like, hey, can.
Speaker 3: I be an actor? Can I I want to be
Speaker 3: an actor? I was like obsessed, So.
Speaker 2: So okay, So then and then what happened? What are
Speaker 2: the steps from there to like your first job?
Speaker 5: Then I started like dressing up to go to kindergarten,
Speaker 5: and like I started putting on costumes and and we
Speaker 5: had like one school play where I like made masks
Speaker 5: for the other kids. We were like mice and I
Speaker 5: had to make a knows it and all that kind
Speaker 5: of stuff.
Speaker 3: And then because you probably had cool parents, I had
Speaker 3: really cool Like well I asked.
Speaker 1: I asked him the other day, I said, are your
Speaker 1: parents like kind of hippies? And he was like, for sure, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, if you're dressing up that age, you have coolest
Speaker 2: ship parents. Yeah.
Speaker 5: My dad like got they were married and like he
Speaker 5: had a top hat on and they married in a
Speaker 5: tepee in Malay.
Speaker 1: Amazing.
Speaker 2: Okay hippie parents.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so so they would, you know, They let me
Speaker 5: dress up to go to school. And then there was
Speaker 5: one actually like a parade down Wiltshire and we all
Speaker 5: did like paper mache animals, all the kids, and mine
Speaker 5: was a spider.
Speaker 3: In order to make it work, I had to.
Speaker 2: Crawl on the street in the break and I.
Speaker 5: Would not get up, So I crawled for three miles straight.
Speaker 5: I had bloody knees and commitments.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're like you were a method actress six years old.
Speaker 3: I was like, well, this is five, like five. At
Speaker 3: that point, I was determined.
Speaker 2: That's amazing, that's amazing.
Speaker 5: So then a casting director came to my kindergarten and asked,
Speaker 5: who's the best actor in all the school play?
Speaker 3: And they were like that.
Speaker 5: Kid right there in the spider Man spider Man outfit.
Speaker 5: So like, So then they told my parents, and my
Speaker 5: parents said, all right, let's try. Let's let them do it,
Speaker 5: because up until then they said no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: you're too young.
Speaker 3: You know, when you get older you can do it.
Speaker 2: But and this is now at five, when the castle
Speaker 2: rector comes to the yeah, and what and what happens
Speaker 2: from that?
Speaker 3: So I went an audition and I got that, got it.
Speaker 5: What movie called Testament, okay, and then from that I
Speaker 5: got Witness because the director of that was going to
Speaker 5: direct Witness, but she had to drop out, and she
Speaker 5: suggested me to Peter Weir, who auditioned me.
Speaker 2: Okay, epic and tell everybody who co started who was
Speaker 2: in Witness Witnesses.
Speaker 3: Harrison Ford McGillis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just Harrison Ford, and that's your first movie.
Speaker 3: That was my second second movie was my second movie?
Speaker 2: And what was that? Do you remember the experience in
Speaker 2: detail at that age or is it a blur?
Speaker 5: It's I mean, there's some blurriness to it, but I
Speaker 5: remember a lot of details. Yeah, I remember the feeling
Speaker 5: of it. I remember certain moments, and I remember what
Speaker 5: an amazing feeling it was to.
Speaker 2: Be there and you knew that was it. You were
Speaker 2: already all the way in at that point, even at
Speaker 2: that young of an.
Speaker 5: Age, it just felt meant to be, especially after having
Speaker 5: been so obsessed with it, you know, like I was.
Speaker 5: I was obsessed, so then it just happened and it
Speaker 5: felt like, Okay, this is this is right.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel if my kid was like pretending
Speaker 1: to be a spider and actually crawling around into bloody,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, all right, I guess you can be
Speaker 1: an actor. I guess you like it enough.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what's funny. I I grew up you know,
Speaker 2: in the arts too, and foreming arts, and then was
Speaker 2: obsessed with movies. Why I was in the performing arts
Speaker 2: and then figured out, oh you can make movies and
Speaker 2: went to film school. So I do understand that obsession.
Speaker 2: What happens next, Like, as as as you get older,
Speaker 2: what's that big first role that really you knew? Wow?
Speaker 5: You know, well you know what happened. Basically, Witness was
Speaker 5: massive at the time. It was a really really big movies.
Speaker 5: So I carried me until now.
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: Come on, you work with some epic directors at movie stars.
Speaker 2: I mean, but but I mean you're saying that just
Speaker 2: that just pummeled you.
Speaker 5: It was so big and it was such an important
Speaker 5: role in the film. So it was the title role
Speaker 5: of the film. And so I just I was making
Speaker 5: a lot of really cool movies.
Speaker 3: After that. I made a movie called.
Speaker 5: Ramling Roseye and then I was I was in you know,
Speaker 5: Woody Allen movies, and uh, well.
Speaker 2: What how how old were you? How how old were
Speaker 2: you when you worked with Woody Allen?
Speaker 3: Eighteen?
Speaker 2: Okay? And what tell me? Okay, I've never even met
Speaker 2: Woody Allen? Okay, so that's somebody for me. That's like, like,
Speaker 2: you know, Martin Scorsese, you know, you look up and
Speaker 2: you say, you know these these iconic directors. Wow, what
Speaker 2: what's the process like working with Woody Allen? I mean,
Speaker 2: is it the same as any other director, what's different,
Speaker 2: what's what makes him Woody Allen? When you're on set
Speaker 2: as an actor.
Speaker 5: You know every movie, every director is different. But in
Speaker 5: this case, he actually was very hands off. He didn't
Speaker 5: say much. It's sort of like this feeling you get
Speaker 5: when you're there, like the cast and the whole setup
Speaker 5: and it's all the people he's been working with forever
Speaker 5: and the script and it's just like you already know
Speaker 5: what you're doing. You already know what a wood Woody
Speaker 5: Allen movie.
Speaker 2: You know what to do because you've seen all of
Speaker 2: his work and it's so flawless and.
Speaker 5: Like there's a particular vibe to it, and the lines
Speaker 5: all there, they like makes they sound like Woody Allen lines.
Speaker 2: And there's not a lot to figure out. Mean, he
Speaker 2: tells you.
Speaker 5: I mean he comes in and he's like, hey, you
Speaker 5: go there, and you go there, and he tells you
Speaker 5: what to do.
Speaker 3: But that was about.
Speaker 2: That's about it. Yeah, but that but think about it.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to do much because all the actors
Speaker 2: in his movies are like at a very high level.
Speaker 2: It's not like there's a lot of beginners in Woody
Speaker 2: Allen's movie.
Speaker 1: Right, This isn't like a when they step on like
Speaker 1: a freaking acting class wreck, like you come correct.
Speaker 2: And it's like the greatest, most talented people in the industry.
Speaker 2: And that's probably why he doesn't have to say you
Speaker 2: want because he casts them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were a lot of great actors in that movie.
Speaker 5: Was like Goldie Hawn and.
Speaker 3: Drew Barrymore and Natalie Portman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty much the greatest. I mean, each person
Speaker 2: of that cast could make their own movie times den
Speaker 2: on their own. I have a question because I heard
Speaker 2: I heard a rumor. I'm not good with the rumors,
Speaker 2: but it was, Uh, you did a movie with Leonardo
Speaker 2: DiCaprio in Canada in very very tough conditions, which the
Speaker 2: name of the movie was Inception Exception.
Speaker 1: What have you seen it, Randall?
Speaker 2: Yes, one of my favorite bilies.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 2: Inceptions one. Well, you did do it. Let's correct, we're
Speaker 2: talking about Exception. Hold on, let's back up, so people
Speaker 2: know you did do Inception, which is one of my
Speaker 2: favorite movies. And The Revenant, which is I had.
Speaker 1: To watch a few times to like atally understand what.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it and the interpretation is
Speaker 2: different every time you watch it. Yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 2: going on inception. But but we go back to that
Speaker 2: The Revenant. Now I watched that movie. Leo won the
Speaker 2: Oscar for that, right mm hmm. Okay, Leonardo, because I
Speaker 2: don't know like Leo or l L. Will you give
Speaker 2: everybody an initial? You call Lucas. I mean, you call Lucas. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: So one of the greatest filmmakers, right, and and so
Speaker 2: tell me the conditions of that film, because the film
Speaker 2: is so in the element. There's no it doesn't look
Speaker 2: like you're on a sound stage.
Speaker 3: No, it was. It was crazy. I mean it was
Speaker 3: just it was.
Speaker 5: Very, very cold, and uh we were out there in
Speaker 5: the cold for months on hunt End basically.
Speaker 3: I mean that's pretty much the gist of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, so, so what's a normal day, Like what
Speaker 2: was a temperature like ten to twenty degrees?
Speaker 3: I mean's like it was yeah, freeze ten It was freezing.
Speaker 2: It was freezing, and you guys are out there from
Speaker 2: six am to six pm every day and in the
Speaker 2: cold and the water.
Speaker 3: I mean about my role, you know, I was like
Speaker 3: one of the trappers.
Speaker 5: So there was probably like ten of us and we
Speaker 5: were all just kind of doing like.
Speaker 1: You were all just trapping, trapping.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were just trudging through lakes and rivers, oh my,
Speaker 5: and the water and how's that wal down mountains? And
Speaker 5: that was basically what I did in that movie. And
Speaker 5: it was pretty It was pretty awesome. It was actually
Speaker 5: very cool to get to be a part of it,
Speaker 5: but it was tough to shoot.
Speaker 2: Let me ask a questions because I do know a
Speaker 2: little bit of Hollywood history. I know that you may
Speaker 2: have made movies with a lot of different actors. Is
Speaker 2: it different making movies with your friends, whether whoever it
Speaker 2: may be worse? Is it better? Is it worse? Is
Speaker 2: it is it more comfortable? Is it more uncomfortable? Depending
Speaker 2: whoever it is. You know, because you know a lot
Speaker 2: of people, you grew up in the industry. Is it
Speaker 2: easier to make movies with your friends?
Speaker 5: You know what, I make friends with the people I
Speaker 5: make movies with basically, and when you're on set, you're
Speaker 5: just doing your job. So it doesn't really necessarily feel
Speaker 5: any different to me.
Speaker 2: Because you're approaching the role from a character. Doesn't matter
Speaker 2: if that person you've known for twenty years or you
Speaker 2: know for twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: Well, it goes back to how you were talking about
Speaker 1: Kelly Preston and like how they can separate you just yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you.
Speaker 5: Learn how to be a professional, and when you're a professional,
Speaker 5: that's kind of that's it.
Speaker 3: It's a job.
Speaker 5: So yeah, you know, you.
Speaker 2: Tell me your greatest experience in acting to date that
Speaker 2: you would say was your greatest, like best role, the
Speaker 2: one you enjoyed the most performance wise, you.
Speaker 5: Know, the one I enjoyed the most was probably probably witnessed.
Speaker 1: He's like, my worst was this film called Midnight in
Speaker 1: the Switchgrass. It's a joke. It's a joke. Randall is
Speaker 1: really sensitive today. It's a joke.
Speaker 3: Are you well, we haven't even I haven't seen this one.
Speaker 3: Do you think there's no way to know?
Speaker 2: This is the great thing? We might be friends now.
Speaker 2: Well in the cut of the movie, you might be like,
Speaker 2: I'm like, Lucas, Oh sorry, man, I'm really busy. I'll
Speaker 2: get back to you.
Speaker 3: No, but listen, there's a few movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to hear some of your favorite.
Speaker 3: Highlights for me.
Speaker 5: Yea Ramling Rose was one of them when I was younger, amazing,
Speaker 5: And then I did a movie called Brick that I
Speaker 5: love and that was with Joe Gordon love it and.
Speaker 3: I played Ryan Johnson directed it, Yes, it was his first.
Speaker 1: You've seen it, timbo.
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: Seen every movie.
Speaker 3: It was a rad movie.
Speaker 4: One of that's one of the ones that I've seen.
Speaker 3: And it was a cool ass role too.
Speaker 1: That was a cool ROLEA what's it got to write it?
Speaker 3: Brick?
Speaker 2: Well, I have to see it too, Brick.
Speaker 5: And I loved my role in this movie called Widows
Speaker 5: that came out a couple.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that one.
Speaker 1: It was a very cool, cool How old were you
Speaker 1: that one?
Speaker 2: I was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: So foo, sorry on the spot.
Speaker 2: Here's the craziest thing. So, so I put our movie together, Lucas,
Speaker 2: the one that we're doing right now. And you know
Speaker 2: how hard is to put a movie together. You're in movies,
Speaker 2: you're an independent, you're a big studio ones, they're all
Speaker 2: hard to get together. And I finally decide after twenty
Speaker 2: something years to direct my first movie I made up
Speaker 2: put together. Yeah, very hard to put together. And this
Speaker 2: one comes together and I'm so excited and boom we
Speaker 2: start shooting and then pandemic comes and we're on a
Speaker 2: plane home after a week of shooting.
Speaker 1: I've never seen Randall cry ever, win a kid that
Speaker 1: when he's doing a movie.
Speaker 2: Is this a joke today?
Speaker 1: No? What is wrong with the podcast is for honesty
Speaker 1: and in people at the table can't be honest.
Speaker 2: But this isn't therapy. I'm trying to talk about my
Speaker 2: experience making.
Speaker 1: A movie, and I'm telling them about my experience with
Speaker 1: Go Ahead, because it's the podcast.
Speaker 3: With both of us.
Speaker 1: I have never seen Randall cry when he does when
Speaker 1: he's done any movie, and he's done over one hundred films.
Speaker 1: This is the first because he looks so puss. This
Speaker 1: is the first first film he's cried on.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Hey, by the way, you know, I understand.
Speaker 2: I didn't cry on the movie. I cried because my
Speaker 2: heart and soul was in this film, and as a director,
Speaker 2: I had never been through this experience before. No one
Speaker 2: ever has, but no one, by the way, no one has.
Speaker 2: And by the way, the whole world was shut down.
Speaker 2: So in the moment, and then I just want to
Speaker 2: be honest because I'm in the moment. You know, that's
Speaker 2: your world the movie, right, you're on the set, you
Speaker 2: realize we all have to go home. You don't really
Speaker 2: know what's going on. So in that moment, my heart
Speaker 2: was broken. Obviously, when I got home, I realized, oh
Speaker 2: my god, the whole world is ending, and I got
Speaker 2: to take care of my family and myself. But in
Speaker 2: that moment, no way, I just want to But.
Speaker 1: Did Lucas know when you guys were out here, I'm
Speaker 1: very curious. Did you think, like, oh, we're good, We're
Speaker 1: going to finish it up and then we'll head home.
Speaker 3: It was sort of like.
Speaker 2: I thought, so, yeah, we really thought.
Speaker 3: We thought we already kind of almost halfway through the movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we we were almost have we were,
Speaker 2: I mean we were we were left.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I went to set that morning, I mean.
Speaker 2: I went to set to it. By the way we
Speaker 2: have Okay, here's the truth. Here's no but here's here's
Speaker 2: the truth. Here's how Lucas put his costume on at
Speaker 2: like six am before he even got the set. He
Speaker 2: just wanted to make sure as a character, no any crawl,
Speaker 2: any crawl to set. No. No. But here's the truth
Speaker 2: that that weekend, right we I was talking to you,
Speaker 2: law and I was talking to the kids, and the
Speaker 2: world was shutting down already, but not fully and we
Speaker 2: weren't feeling it here, and then Sunday the governor of
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico put a curfew on and that's when we
Speaker 2: all realize, oh, this is getting really serious. And I
Speaker 2: started talking to crew that night and I realized, this
Speaker 2: doesn't look like it's gonna happen. The sweetest thing that
Speaker 2: I ever got was Megan Fox, Lucas, Emil Hirsh everybody
Speaker 2: called me and said we're with you, and if you're
Speaker 2: going to keep shooting and we're allowed to shoot safely,
Speaker 2: then we will. And I said that means the world
Speaker 2: to me. So I went to set that morning. You
Speaker 2: were already there, and you know, we had half the
Speaker 2: crew show up, and which which is understandable because people
Speaker 2: the world was shutting down and and and health was obviously.
Speaker 1: A huge You definitely didn't know because when you called me,
Speaker 1: you were like, it's normal here, and I was like,
Speaker 1: it's normal.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no no no, wait, I want
Speaker 2: to get it right. That's not true. You're right about
Speaker 2: the normal because on Saturday and Sunday we were at
Speaker 2: the beach on our days off, and we thought it
Speaker 2: was normal.
Speaker 5: It seemed like this thing that was going on in
Speaker 5: the other part of the world. You know, we weren't
Speaker 5: really we didn't think there were no cases.
Speaker 2: There were no cases at Puerto Rico, and they were
Speaker 2: telling us everything's going to be normal here, don't worry.
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously nobody knew anything at that point, and
Speaker 2: we we didn't know. But at about nine pm, ten
Speaker 2: pm that my production partner started calling me and saying,
Speaker 2: we don't think a lot of crews coming in, and
Speaker 2: we're also being told by the health board that this is,
Speaker 2: you know, a pandemic and all this. So we were
Speaker 2: so in the kind of in the dark over here.
Speaker 2: And I got to set that morning, and when half
Speaker 2: the crew was on the set, I know, I knew,
Speaker 2: and I also we had we just decided that morning
Speaker 2: at about six thirty. I'd gotten up so early, and
Speaker 2: we had just decided that for now we're gonna we okay,
Speaker 2: I remember the conversation. Now we had decided we were
Speaker 2: going to shut down for like a week or two.
Speaker 2: We thought we're going to go home. Remember even on
Speaker 2: the plane home, I said, we're gonna shut down for
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. We're gonna come right back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Were so we stayed in costume the whole time. I
Speaker 1: saw the same character.
Speaker 2: But anyway, it was it was heartbreaking. We took a
Speaker 2: vote with the crew, but we also had we took
Speaker 2: a vote because I think legally we were supposed to
Speaker 2: take a vote, but we had already decided when forty
Speaker 2: people out of one hundred and ten showed up. But
Speaker 2: it was the right thing to do safety wise. Obviously,
Speaker 2: the crew has you know, family here, they need to
Speaker 2: get to them.
Speaker 5: We need to It was definitely something that needed to happen.
Speaker 5: It's and it's unprecedented. No one knew how to deal
Speaker 5: with this thing.
Speaker 2: So and by the way, when I when I when
Speaker 2: I that morning at six thirty am, when I knew
Speaker 2: we were going to shut down, we got the set
Speaker 2: and we we made the official I think I got
Speaker 2: us out of Puerto Rico in like seven hours.
Speaker 5: Literally, I was on sp Superman work and then and
Speaker 5: then you came up and be like, I don't think
Speaker 5: we're going to film today.
Speaker 2: We're not.
Speaker 3: And I'm like okay, and then You're like we're probably
Speaker 3: going home tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, all right, and there we laugh. We
Speaker 2: can laugh now, And we were not laughing then, But I.
Speaker 1: Mean today, it's like this movie they're doing is so eventful.
Speaker 1: People are linking up and now we're back, you know,
Speaker 1: like this is like the best. No, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: this is the best movie ever. And it hasn't even
Speaker 1: been released.
Speaker 2: Do you know what, Del Hirsh called me? A Meil
Speaker 2: Hirsh called me and said, there's more publicity around your movie.
Speaker 2: It hasn't even come out yet, it hasn't even been filmed.
Speaker 1: I know, how do we keep the momentum going with
Speaker 1: the film?
Speaker 2: Listen, I don't. All I want to do is start
Speaker 2: shooting on Monday and make a great film and have
Speaker 2: the work speak for itself. And I am very grateful
Speaker 2: that all of you, know you and Emil and Megan Colson, everybody.
Speaker 2: What I love is you guys all kept in touch
Speaker 2: with me, and we kept in touch with each other,
Speaker 2: and I think it made us even closer. And I
Speaker 2: think when you go back, we're gonna even be stronger.
Speaker 2: So I'm really really excited.
Speaker 3: The only problem is the masks.
Speaker 1: Well you're oh yeah, you guys have not you guys
Speaker 1: haven't even scraped the surface yet.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, by the way, all right, we're gonna we're
Speaker 2: going a quick break and we'll come back and we're
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna finish up here with Lucas has.
Speaker 1: We're back beach.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, that's how you have to come back.
Speaker 1: I feel like they're my friends, you know, like this podcast,
Speaker 1: I feel like like walking into a room like, what's
Speaker 1: that bitch?
Speaker 2: Should you do a girl?
Speaker 1: That's how I feel like, Hey man, how's the wife?
Speaker 1: I feel like those are like the people listening, aren't
Speaker 1: just like people listening, like those are my friends.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably why you have That's why Lucas and
Speaker 2: I have like six followers and you have one five million.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 1: Oh good lord.
Speaker 2: Okay, So but anyway, we're just finishing up. But you know,
Speaker 2: I think that the COVID thing, I think that it's
Speaker 2: made us stronger. I think it's brought us all closer,
Speaker 2: and I think that we're gonna have a lot to
Speaker 2: talk about, you know, with this movie. Because just going
Speaker 2: into rehearsals the other day, we had masks on, and.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that was crazy.
Speaker 5: How we're Is it weird to direct with actors who
Speaker 5: have masks on?
Speaker 2: Well? I had a direct, and I couldn't even see
Speaker 2: what you were Is it hard? I didn't know if
Speaker 2: you were laughing at me, what if you were sticking
Speaker 2: your tongue out at me and telling me to like,
Speaker 2: go shove it.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm acting just like normally.
Speaker 1: Always fighting it. I don't know a mouth, a mouth
Speaker 1: doing nothing speaks a thousand words like me. When I'm
Speaker 1: pissed off, I purse the lips. That's how random those.
Speaker 3: They say it's all in the eyes, but yeah, sure,
Speaker 3: if that's true or not.
Speaker 2: It's all in the eyes, but I'd like to I'd
Speaker 2: like to see a little expression. So the good news
Speaker 2: is we could take the mass off when we actually
Speaker 2: roll the cameras next week, so we'll be fine. So
Speaker 2: uh where we okay? Uh, Lucas. What is it like
Speaker 2: leaving Los Angeles now, being on an island overlooking the
Speaker 2: ocean after five months, four months of lockdown?
Speaker 1: I mean, which, by the way, I always locked down again, guys,
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of places.
Speaker 3: It's so surreal, by the way, just being here, I mean,
Speaker 3: I've never stayed at such a nice place when I
Speaker 3: was faking a movie.
Speaker 5: I'm here literally just on the beach, just chilling out.
Speaker 2: Youth your metha. It is pretty amazing. I do say
Speaker 2: it's also.
Speaker 1: A mind fuck for a method actor, because if I
Speaker 1: was supposed to be like a serial killer, I'd look
Speaker 1: out there and I'd be like, I feel so zen,
Speaker 1: It's like everything's fut.
Speaker 2: Look. All I gotta say is, you know, I've made
Speaker 2: movies like you, Lucas all around the world, and you know,
Speaker 2: in places that were ten degrees below Grand Rapids, Michigan
Speaker 2: in the winter, in blizzard where we couldn't get to
Speaker 2: the set. I've made movies in Eastern Europe in the winter.
Speaker 2: I've made movies in states like Ohio, Alabama.
Speaker 3: It's usually not in the most beautiful.
Speaker 2: It's not a beach. This is the first time in
Speaker 2: my entire career I've ever got to make a movie
Speaker 2: in a place that I would literally wish I could
Speaker 2: vacation it like it's so beautiful. And I just want
Speaker 2: to promote Puerto Rico because I love the community here
Speaker 2: and the state that it is, and I just want
Speaker 2: to say, if you ever can get your family here
Speaker 2: one day, or you know, visit here with friends, Puerto
Speaker 2: Rico has so many amazing things off.
Speaker 5: It is a beautiful, beautiful place, and I feel lucky
Speaker 5: to be filming here for sure.
Speaker 1: Well, we're grateful to have you.
Speaker 2: They are all right, Lucas. We don't want to torture anymore.
Speaker 2: Here's a good news, Lucas. You get to leave this podcast,
Speaker 2: and I don't get to go anywhere.
Speaker 1: So I will because it's voicemail time.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to the beach.
