1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie podcast. I

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike, and this week I want

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: to look back on my top five favorite interviews. At

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. It has been a great and also

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: weird year because there was a strike and actors and

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: director they aren't doing interviews. So I am happy to

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: have the interviews I do have to share with you today.

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: But I also want to take a moment to say

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: thank you for listening to this podcast. I started it

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: now four years ago. Just celebrated the four year anniversary.

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: December twenty nineteen is when I started this thing, and

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: as a training exercise, I went back and listened to

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: some early episodes and oh my gosh, guys, so the

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: ones that have been there since day one, I thank

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: you because I sounded like an idiot to those who

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: are new to the podcast. I hadn't done a show

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: like this before, whereas just me talking and giving my thoughts.

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: So I feel like I was so hyped up in

19
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: those early episodes and it's almost just cringe worthy to

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: go back and listen to. But it also just shows

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: me with not just doing a podcast, but with doing anything.

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: Those initial episodes you do, or those initial drafts or

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: whatever it is, that's a part of your craft. You're

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: gonna look back and think, oh my gosh, and you

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: should be embarrassed at those things, because if you look

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: back on those and think, oh, man, that's when I

27
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: was really crushing it, you haven't really grown as a person.

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: So I just want to say thank you to everybody

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: who listens to this podcast, whether you're part of the

30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: movie crew and listen every single week on Monday when

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: episodes get released, or maybe you drop in occasionally, maybe

32
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: you just see a clip on TikTok or Instagram and think, oh,

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: maybe I'll go check out that episode or that interview,

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: whatever level of listener you are, I just thank you

35
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: for spending one two episodes, one minute, whatever it is,

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: because talking about movies is my favorite thing. I love

37
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: watching movies and discussing them and crafting my reviews and

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: crafting my thoughts to share with you, and it is

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: the thing that brings me the most joy when it

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: comes to doing any kind of podcast, because even if

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: I didn't have this podcast, this would be what I

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: want to talk about with friends. So I'm glad I

43
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: have that now in the form of you guys and

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: being able to share my thoughts. The thing I look

45
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: forward to the most is whenever somebody watches a movie

46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: and then tweets me, sends me a DM or tags

47
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: me on something of I want to know your thoughts

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: on this movie. That is my greatest accomplishment, for anybody

49
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: to want to know my thoughts on anything. So I

50
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: really love what we have created here this movie community,

51
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: that we can share our thoughts on movies and not

52
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: hate each other and drag each other through the mud.

53
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: It's just been really fun to get to do and

54
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: to get to grow with and going into the next year,

55
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: I would love to be able to do more interviews,

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: specifically more in person interviews, and I get this question

57
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: a lot of why don't I do more. It's hard

58
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: living in Nashville not really being a hub for cinema.

59
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: As they say that a lot of people don't come

60
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: here to promote their movie. We'll get into one. That

61
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: was a very rare occasion for me. But aside from that,

62
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: it's also just hard to get long form interviews with

63
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: really big actors and directors that even the shows at

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: the top level still only get five to ten minutes

65
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: with these people. So I think the thing I have

66
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: really tried to get better at quickly because I don't

67
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of time, is just becoming a

68
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: better interviewer for you guys. So that is something I

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: really want to work for for you in twenty twenty four,

70
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: going into next year, and just a lot of plans

71
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: I have with this podcast. So next year just being

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: a great year for movies. Also twenty twenty five, all

73
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: always looking ahead to that year of movies. I think

74
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be amazing. So I hope you stick around,

75
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: hope you still love the podcast as much as you

76
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: did back on episode one, and always thank you for

77
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: telling a friend about this podcast. This would be a

78
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: great one to share because it is what I believe

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: to be the best conversations I've had with guests this week.

80
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: So going through the list at number five is one

81
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: that I actual actually didn't air on the podcast. But

82
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: I also do another show called The Bobby Cast, which

83
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: is a music show, and we had on Randy Hauser

84
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: who is in Killers of the Flower Moon, and we

85
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: got to talk to him about that. I got to

86
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: ask him some questions about being on set and working

87
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: with Leonardo DiCaprio. So this is kind of an exclusive

88
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: to this podcast because they didn't really air here initially,

89
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: But it was cool for me to be able to

90
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: talk about one of the best movies of the year

91
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: with somebody who was actually in it, got to work

92
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: with Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese. So here I am

93
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: talking with country artists. Randy Hauser Lutinia was with Leonardo DiCaprio,

94
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: And one of my other favorite movies he did with

95
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Scorsese was Wolf of Wall Street And I've seen like

96
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: a behind the scenes clip of him like totally in

97
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: the zone, doesn't even look like he's there, and then

98
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: right when the camera goes on, he instantly goes into

99
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: that character. Does he do that?

100
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the things that was noticeable, Boy, well

101
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: he's also when he doesn't look like he's working his mind.

102
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: Like one of the strangest things that happen was, like

103
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: I mean, like between like takes, if we had like

104
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: downtime changing out film stuff like that, just hanging out

105
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 2: talking I did, I'd notice that he would, like you know,

106
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: like the next day, he would come back to the

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: set and we'd be talking and he would repeat things

108
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: that I said to him, just like me, like he

109
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: would download my accent and stuff like that, which is crazy,

110
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: and but no, he would, you know, he like there

111
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: would be time we'd just be throwing a ball or

112
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: something out out in the yard and then you know

113
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: it would be time to go back in. You know,

114
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 2: like he very normal, very normal guy, but also freaking

115
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: amazing when whenever they would yell action, how he would

116
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: just freaking go at it.

117
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 3: You know.

118
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: It was just kind of like stepping on the grand

119
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: ole operating them saying your turn and like doing what

120
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: I do.

121
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: You kind of have to.

122
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: Just one of the things that was so cool about

123
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: it to me and I enjoyed about the whole process

124
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 2: is that I was, first of all, was scared to death.

125
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: I'd never done this. I was like, I don't know

126
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: what the hell I'm doing here. And but the same

127
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: is even now before I go on stage, I'm a

128
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: little anxious and like these people gonna hate me and whatever.

129
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: But when it came time to go to the set

130
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: from you know, the actors a little where we're staged,

131
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 2: to go to the actual getting cameras, the same the

132
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: same gear was shifted in my being that that is

133
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: when I'm walking to the stage go play music and that,

134
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: and it became it fed me like to go do

135
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: it rather than you know, all the every fear was gone.

136
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: It was just go time.

137
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: So I seek.

138
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: I could see that in him as well, but I

139
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 2: was able to like that blocking mechanism that that happens

140
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 2: with going to make music. It totally was the same thing.

141
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: I'd never seen this whole process at all, you know,

142
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: and so it was it was strange that it was

143
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: and I'd never really done and I'd never done it.

144
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: And the first first scene I shot was the scene

145
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: that actually made the film. There's a lot of scenes

146
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: that got cut. You know, they should had hundreds of

147
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: hours of stuff, but they, Uh. The first scene that

148
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: I shot was the scene that actually made the film.

149
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: And it was like four hours of like going back

150
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: because they shoot it, you know, from every angle. Everybody's

151
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: in the scene has to do their thing. But and

152
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: I remember just being like totally like what the hell,

153
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: where's Martins course saying here over there, and and he's

154
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: coming over to me, and he's standing over my shoulder

155
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: right here, and I'm sitting at that this desk. You know,

156
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: it's like that beer than that thing, but like old school,

157
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: and I'm sitting there and he's explaining what he wants

158
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: out of me and talking to me, and I'm like,

159
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: literally in lah lah lngle what they And so we

160
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: shoot my angle like I don't know, four times and

161
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: Marty he's over there in this other room where their

162
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: view and what's going on. He comes out, all right,

163
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: we got it, and I went because I had seen

164
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: a guy the day before I got there, and I

165
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: stayed on set all day dressed ready to go to

166
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: shoot this scene didn't happen, but I'd seen a guy

167
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: and another and another scene that didn't make it. They

168
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: shot his this thing like I don't know, it must

169
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: have been twenty something times because they couldn't get it

170
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: and get it and you could sense the you could

171
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: sense the air leaking out of the room and wasting

172
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: time and money, and so I was just like went

173
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: back to my bus out and I was like, please, God,

174
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: don't let me be that guy to study studies. Well,

175
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: so then he comes up and he goes. Marty comes out, Okay, Randy,

176
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: we got it, and I was like we do and

177
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, we got it, And I was like

178
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: are you sure. He's like yeah, and he said and

179
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: so Leo looks say and says, what do you mean

180
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: you sure? I was like, I've never really done this.

181
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: He said, what do you mean, You've never really done this.

182
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 2: I was like, I've never done this. He said, wouldn't

183
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 2: you wouldn't know you?

184
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 4: I would know.

185
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: At number four was when I got to talk to

186
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: Lee Cronin, the director of Evil Dead Rise, which is

187
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: one of my favorite horror movies of twenty twenty three,

188
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: a franchise that I believe is highly underrated when it

189
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: comes to being one of the best in horror. And

190
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: I loved hearing about Lee Cronin's passion for bringing back

191
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: blood on the big screen and how much just thought

192
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: goes into every single element of the filmmaking process, from

193
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: the movie poster to what scenes to include in the

194
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: movie trailer, and just what it takes to making a

195
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: really scary movie. So here's my conversation at number four

196
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: with Lee Cronin, the director of Evil Dead Rise. As

197
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: a movie reviewer, every time I go see a movie

198
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: out front, I like to take a picture with the

199
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: poster and the issue I have now with a lot

200
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: of modern movie posters, it's all just a bunch of

201
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: floating heads. But I feel like with The Evil Dead Rise,

202
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: that was not the case. The other thing I loved

203
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: about this movie that first opening scene, the first maybe

204
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of the movie. I really start to connect

205
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: with the characters, and I think sometimes in horror movies

206
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: they just get into oh, here's all the blood and

207
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: guts right away. Yeah, but what changed the level of

208
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: this movie is like, I care about their backstory. I

209
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: care about them getting together. So what is that kind

210
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: of balance you have of like, Okay, I'm going to

211
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: kind of commit to fleshing out these characters, even though

212
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I know people came here for the horror. You bought

213
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: them in with the trailer, Like how do you balance that?

214
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: I think you've got to just try and be true

215
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: to those characters and give them enough air to exist

216
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: and to feel real. I think that that is really important.

217
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: And I remember when I approached this because again understanding

218
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: Evil Dead and what these type of movies need to be,

219
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: I knew that I couldn't have extraordinarily elaborate arcs. You know,

220
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: there had to be a point in time where things turned.

221
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: And maybe it's really Beth in a lot of ways,

222
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: and Cassie to a certain extent, as they're accepting what's

223
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: happening and trying to this new little family unit to

224
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: survive as the film progresses. But it's funny you talk

225
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: about structure a lot when you write, and obviously I

226
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: wrote the screenplay, and you know, from that point of view,

227
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: rather than looking at it as a traditional three act

228
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: structure that it was, there was three parts to it.

229
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 5: In my mind. There was a really great opening to

230
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 5: the film that would draw people in them, give them

231
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 5: a fright, give them some scares, give them some of

232
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 5: that visceral, give them a taste of what was to come.

233
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 5: And then I wanted to go and spend some time

234
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 5: with the family and hopefully have put people on edge

235
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 5: so that then when they spend time with that family,

236
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 5: they're wondering, well, when is this going to kick in?

237
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: And when is when is it all going to go crazy?

238
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 5: And so I was comfortable spending time in that space

239
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 5: with that family, getting to know and love those characters,

240
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 5: because then when I turn it and everything falls apart

241
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 5: with these people and the darkness rolls in and the

242
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 5: evil wakes up, what you're kind of facing them is

243
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 5: just that roller coaster, but you're doing it with people

244
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 5: and characters that you care about. That was the key.

245
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 5: So it's not a traditional three act structure. It's it's structure,

246
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 5: but it's still a story in three parts, which was

247
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 5: you know, open that movie and scare the hell out

248
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: of people, get them on board, strap them in, give

249
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 5: them people that they love, and then just kid is

250
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 5: shit out of everybody.

251
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned the writing process of this, and I

252
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: always here to write about what, you know, Like if

253
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: I were writing a horror movie, I would write about

254
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: like the sweet paralysis that face when I felt like

255
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: it was like a demon on my chest. But for

256
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: writing a movie like this, like where do you go

257
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: in your mind? Do you like draw from personal experiences?

258
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: Do you have like experiences with any kind of like

259
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: demonic presence? Where do you go?

260
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 5: I've got all these cheese grater wounds. And again, it's

261
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 5: actually back to character in a lot of ways, like

262
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 5: I look to my family and people that I know.

263
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 5: I'm not a parent, I don't have children, but the

264
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 5: three kids in this movie are kind of loosely based

265
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 5: on my sister's three children, for example. So that was

266
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 5: a place that ID in terms of character. And then

267
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 5: I actually wrote the film during the very first COVID

268
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 5: lockdown that took place, so I was kind of trapped

269
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 5: in my apartment and that really aided me and just

270
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 5: looking at the basic trappings of domestic life and how

271
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 5: I could kind of use those. So in a way,

272
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 5: I'm still drawing on quite banal things, like I said,

273
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 5: cheese great, or something you use when you're making a

274
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 5: sandwich or you're making lasagna or whatever it might be.

275
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 5: You know, you drink some wine from a glass, or

276
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 5: you play with a toy er, you use the scissors

277
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 5: to cut something, and it might seem obvious, but I

278
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 5: was able to kind of stare at those objects and

279
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 5: think about ways of using them. So again, I just

280
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 5: will always lean into what I know. I've always as

281
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 5: a as a you know, as a grown up, essentially

282
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 5: lived in an apartment. So also kind of that context

283
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 5: of that place of not knowing who's above, who's below,

284
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 5: who's left, and who's right, and what might kind of

285
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 5: walk up the corridor in this strange place because you're

286
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 5: in your own little island, locked in a box when

287
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 5: you live in an apartment. So all of those things

288
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 5: were still kind of personal and things that I could

289
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 5: lean into to just try and draw a little bit

290
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 5: of influence out of Luckily you haven't faced any real

291
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 5: world demonic possessions yet, but you know.

292
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe for the next movie you get possessed.

293
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just gotta be careful. I don't like, you know,

294
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 5: research something and dabble with the wrong juju that then

295
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 5: brings something my way that I don't want.

296
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: This movie has what my favorite just single images. When

297
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: Lily Sullivan has the chainsaw, She's covered in blood. All

298
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: you can see is the white of her eyes and

299
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: the white of her teeth. Did you have to fight

300
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: for the amount of blood used in this movie? Not?

301
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 5: Like not in terms of ambition. One of the biggest

302
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 5: battles is actually, like, when you use that volume of blood,

303
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 5: it's pretty expensive. It becomes like a serious budget line

304
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 5: when you're when you're making a film. So it was

305
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 5: finding the right way of making sure we could we

306
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 5: could get all the blood right and use all the

307
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 5: blood the way that we actually needed to.

308
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: Do it was the blood budget.

309
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 5: I actually couldn't tell you how much we spent on it.

310
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 5: I can tell you it was. It was around three

311
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 5: thousand gallons, I think so, which is about in You know,

312
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 5: I'm from Europe, so it's like six and a half

313
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 5: thousand liters. So it was a lot of blood. But

314
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 5: the expensive aspect was I made it clear really early

315
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 5: on that we wouldn't cheat. There was no water with

316
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 5: red food coloring or using something else in color correcting it.

317
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 5: It's like, it's got to be movie blood. The cast

318
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 5: have to suffer in a way, and they did when

319
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 5: they were drenched in all of that sticky it stick

320
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 5: skin together, you lose hair, you can't walk properly. It's

321
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 5: like it's really intense. But it actually added in a

322
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 5: good way to their discomfort because it made them feel

323
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 5: something very very real, and that was important.

324
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: That final scene, all the blood coming down the elevator.

325
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: It just made me feel whenever you first make the

326
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: first trailer for this movie and you put that out,

327
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: do you ever worry like this might be a little

328
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: bit too scary for just like the general going, like

329
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: movie person.

330
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 5: There's always that line, you know, there is because I

331
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 5: wanted this movie to play to a wide audience, So

332
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 5: I guess we got it right. But there's of course

333
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 5: you ask those questions because there are certain people that

334
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 5: just go, no, no, no, no, there's no way I

335
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 5: can watch this. But to be fair, those people also

336
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 5: maybe will struggle to watch it one way or another,

337
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 5: and maybe they want to wait and watch it at home.

338
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 5: They're going to struggle to watch it in a room

339
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 5: with a bunch of strangers in the theater or whatever.

340
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 5: But I think you just got to put your best

341
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: foot forward, and the goal of the trailer was to

342
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 5: make it entertaining and scary. I don't think there's a

343
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 5: line that's too scary. It's like it was a comedy. Hey,

344
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 5: that trailer was too funny. The one thing I was

345
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 5: really happy with was the trailer showed people a lot,

346
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 5: but there was so much more to discover. So I

347
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 5: remember that you'd always get comments and the trailer come out,

348
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, I hope they haven't shown everything. And

349
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 5: I was kind of rubbing my hands in the background, going,

350
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 5: you kind of ain't seen nothing yet, because we obviously

351
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 5: there's there's quite a monstrous conclusion of the film, and

352
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 5: nobody had a clue about that until the film came out,

353
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 5: And a lot of other kind of great kills and

354
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 5: stuff like that. So yeah, I think you've got to

355
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 5: make it scary. You've got to appeal to it as

356
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 5: wide an audience as you can, but you've got to

357
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 5: try and push it right out to the line as

358
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 5: far as you can. And again, great team and Warner Brothers.

359
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 5: I think they you know, and you know, really took

360
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 5: it to the right place.

361
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I've never been just scared off a

362
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: trailer alone going into a movie, like I felt terrified

363
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: in the theater the first time I watched it. So

364
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: that was awesome. So I thought the movie was great.

365
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: Really great time talking to you. I really appreciate it.

366
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 5: Thank you so much. Nice to speak to you too.

367
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: At number three is my conversation with Alex Conrey, who

368
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: wrote Air, which came out earlier this year with Ben

369
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: Affleck and Matt Damon, which is the story about the

370
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: creation of the Air Jordan and I just loved how

371
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: this movie came to be and how Alex was really

372
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: just hanging out on his couch. He watched that show

373
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: The Last Dance on Netflix, which is all about the

374
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: rise of Michael Jordan and his career and becoming one

375
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: of the most iconic figures in sports. There's a small

376
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: segment in the last Dance that inspired him to write

377
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: this movie. He wrote this script and then Ben Affleck

378
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: and Matt Damon saw it and decided they wanted to

379
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: make it into a movie and give them sole writing credit,

380
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: which is a major, major deal in the movie industry

381
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: to have your first film picked up turned into a movie.

382
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: And even though they worked with him to fix the

383
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: script and change things, they still didn't put their name

384
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: on it, which is amazing. And I can't wait to

385
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: see where his career goes from this. And I just

386
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: love getting to know about the writing process and all

387
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: the work that goes into making sure that the story

388
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: is there on the page before it gets put onto

389
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: the screen. So here's my conversation with the writer of Air,

390
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: Alex Convury. What has been the most important phone call

391
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: that you've received in your life?

392
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 6: There are a couple, you know, like I mean dating

393
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: all the way back to like getting the first call

394
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 6: from you know, the guys that would end up being

395
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 6: my agents saying like, we read your script, bagman and

396
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 6: are interested in meet with you for representation. It was like,

397
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 6: oh my gosh, you know, that's the call that like,

398
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 6: you know, in a lot of ways, I've been dreaming

399
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 6: of since moving up here for film school. Now at

400
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 6: the time, I was like, oh my gosh, I made it,

401
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 6: but it's like, Nope, there's still so much work that

402
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 6: has to go into it, you know. You know, obviously

403
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 6: getting the call on this one that that you know

404
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 6: Ben was interested and I was going to meet with him,

405
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 6: that was an important one. I mean, the call after

406
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 6: Ben had met with Jordan basically saying like, Jordan has

407
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 6: given his blessing with a few you know, as long

408
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 6: as we can accomplish these notes and we're good to go.

409
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 6: I mean, that was that was huge. And then I mean, finally,

410
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 6: really the call from the producer saying like, you know,

411
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 6: Amazon is going to finance the movie. That that's like again,

412
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 6: like in terms of calls you dream dream of, like

413
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 6: that's that's kind of the list on a specscript, you know,

414
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 6: like those are all the ones you need to get,

415
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 6: and every one of them is very unlikely in its

416
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 6: own way. And I had come to learn that, you know,

417
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 6: over my thirteen years living out here, that it's those

418
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 6: are very few and far between. Usually it's getting a

419
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 6: phone call saying like, yeah, they didn't like the script

420
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 6: up that actor passed on it.

421
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 7: Well, time time to move on to the next one out.

422
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 6: This project's dead, like you know, so it's just like

423
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 6: you get used to it that the good ones definitely

424
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 6: stand out.

425
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: What was the stress like waiting for the final approval

426
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: that Michael Jordan has given his blessing on the film?

427
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 7: You know, like, what can you say? I mean, it was.

428
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 7: It doesn't get more stressful than that.

429
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just like when you lay out what

430
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 6: that meeting kind of meant for, you know, again, it

431
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 6: was just like I was an unproduced screenwriter and like

432
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 6: we had everything else ready to go on this one,

433
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 6: and it was basically like, if Jordan gives his blessing,

434
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 6: then like we're going to do the movie. And obviously

435
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 6: it was Ben and Mad and She's like, oh my gosh,

436
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 6: what a you what a dream scenario on this one.

437
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 6: But just as easily it was like, I, you know,

438
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 6: I kind of figured what incentives Jordan have to do

439
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 6: any movie? You know, like he he doesn't need to

440
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 6: do anything unless he wants to. So look, it's a

441
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 6: credit to Ben that Ben was able to like earn

442
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 6: his trust and lay out all of what we were

443
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 6: wanting to do with this movie and and you know,

444
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 6: have Michael recognize that that's a very like a person

445
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 6: I would have been scared on my mind sitting there

446
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 6: for that meeting.

447
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 7: You know, shocker.

448
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 6: Ben knows what he's doing, you know, So it was Yeah,

449
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 6: I you know, it would be hard. I'd be hard

450
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 6: pressed to think of like a more stressful twenty four

451
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 6: hours than than that one.

452
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 7: When professionally at least, so.

453
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: You're about the same age as Ben Affleck and Matt

454
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: Damon when they wrote Goodwill Hunting and this being your

455
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: first you know, credited movie, do they offer you any

456
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: kind of advice of where to take your career from

457
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: here next? Yeah?

458
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 6: I mean, you know not so not not like directly.

459
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, the getting sole credit on the

460
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 6: movie and all of that and having you know, Ben

461
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 6: tell me, you know, personally about that was just a

462
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 6: very like surreal to be kind of part of that

463
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 6: like lineage. You know, it's still hard to out my

464
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 6: head around. But no, you know, something Ben has said

465
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 6: which I've really taken the heart, you know, over the

466
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 6: last couple of months here is like, you know, he

467
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 6: really is a believer in good scripts, you know, and

468
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 6: that if it's not there on the page. It's not

469
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 6: going to be there on the stage as they say.

470
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: You know.

471
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 6: He's also talked a lot about the projects you turn

472
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 6: down and say no to are in a way just

473
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 6: as important, if not more important, than the projects you

474
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 6: do decide to take on and say yes to. And

475
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 6: it goes back a little bit to what we were

476
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 6: talking about earlier about like really having to love a project,

477
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 6: you know, and really feeling the passion for it, and

478
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 6: if it's not there, then you know you shouldn't do it.

479
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 6: That's hard when you're young and you've been wanting to,

480
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 6: you know, do all the projects in the world for

481
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 6: so long. You know, it's like the gut instinct is

482
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 6: to say yes to everything because it's like Hollywood is

483
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 6: crazy and you just don't know, you know, how long

484
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 6: a moment like this can last, so you know, take

485
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 6: it all while you can get it, and and that's

486
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 6: the that's kind of the gut instinct. But one hundred

487
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 6: percent see where he's coming from. Where it's like, you know,

488
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 6: like we were talking about, you really got to love something,

489
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 6: You really really have to be married to a project

490
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 6: to to want to do it and take it on.

491
00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: Did you keep anything from the set.

492
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 6: I'm going to get in trouble, but you know the

493
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 6: cafeteria where they where they steal the candy from in

494
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 6: that scene where Mann and Jason are working later over

495
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 6: the weekend on the last day, I was like, well,

496
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 6: it would only be fitting if I also take something

497
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 6: from here. So yeah, I have a I have one

498
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 6: of those coffee mugs that that was sitting on the shelf.

499
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 7: So it's like, you know, it's right what they say.

500
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 7: It's not stealing.

501
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: It does no work in the register. You can take it.

502
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 7: That's right. Exactly.

503
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: Did you get any free Nike stuff from working on

504
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: this movie?

505
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 6: Not free, but I was you know, like when these

506
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 6: things happened, there's like you get like a start gift

507
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 6: when the movie starts in a rap gift when the

508
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 6: movie and so from like you know, multiple agents and manager,

509
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 6: you know, producers and the whole deal. So you can

510
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 6: imagine on this film what most of those gifts were.

511
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 6: But yes, those were you know, they kindly uh you know,

512
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 6: bought those shoes and yeah, it's it's been a nice

513
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 6: part of it that I've definitely expanded my mind.

514
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 7: My shorting collection by a vid.

515
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: At number two is the director of Blue Beatle on him,

516
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: Manuel Soto, who is somebody that I just felt an

517
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: instant connection with because he's Puerto Rican, I'm Mexican, and

518
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: he made a movie that just resonated with me and

519
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: so many other people who haven't seen themselves represented on

520
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: the big screen in a superhero movie before. And I

521
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: could have talked to him for hours, for hours, because

522
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: I just love this movie so much, and it was

523
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: cool to see him be so passionate about his work.

524
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: And you think sometimes when movies don't necessarily perform the

525
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: way they should at the box office, you think it

526
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: would discourage director from being so proud of it. Not

527
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: the case when I'm he was so just like, this

528
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: is the best movie ever and I'm gonna tell you why.

529
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: And he's just a really bright and positive guy. And

530
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: right now, with the DC EU ending with Ocolmhan two,

531
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: I hope that DC keeps him around, and I really,

532
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: really really hope we get another Blue Beetle movie with

533
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: On Hill behind the camera, because this movie I love it.

534
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: It's on Max if you haven't seen it yet. I

535
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: would actually recommend every single movie we've talked about here,

536
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: because they've all come out this year, but at number two.

537
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: Here is my interview with the director of Blue Beetle Hey.

538
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: It's something they mentioned before we got on this interview

539
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: was the pronunciation of your name, and it got me

540
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: to thinking, did you draw a personal experience in the

541
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: movie when they keep calling him round, they keep calling

542
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: them Jamie, and they're like.

543
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 8: Oh, we we had to like that. That's something that's

544
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 8: way too common, I guess to avoid and the fact

545
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 8: that you know it is Hime, but people call him

546
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 8: Jamie and it happens during production. It happen all the time.

547
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 8: They have some interviews and I'm like, see it happens,

548
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 8: you know, and it happened to me, Like my wife

549
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 8: always makes fun of me because at first I used

550
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 8: to lose patience, but then I'm like, you know, it's

551
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 8: what it is because it's Anghil And they'll be like,

552
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 8: can you say that again? Anghil and an Hill? How

553
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 8: do you spell it? Like angel? Oh? Angel? Like it

554
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 8: doesn't work. Repeating fun thattics doesn't work for everybody. So

555
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 8: I'm like, you know, just call me whatever you want

556
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 8: as long as you're being respectful.

557
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: I feel on a personal level, because my real name

558
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: is migue a long hill. My dad is un hill.

559
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: And there were a lot of moments of this movie

560
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: where I felt like just speaking to me, and that

561
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: was one in particular. And even with them, you know,

562
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: thinking that he is supposed to be at a different location, like, hey,

563
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to hear you're supposed to be helping

564
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: in the back.

565
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 8: Oh man, that's uh, that happened to me. I'm the writer.

566
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: This is the only movie that I've seen twice in

567
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: theaters this year. I went to go see it the

568
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: first time in the summer, and I loved it so

569
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: much that I wanted to take my mom to go

570
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: see it.

571
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 8: My mom, oh nice, he does.

572
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: Not like superhero movies whatsoever. Group in Mexico came here

573
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: as a teenager, but she loved the movie. And one

574
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: of the things that I found her grass beyond to

575
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: was the fact that you committed to using Spanish throughout

576
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: the entire movie. Did that feel like a bit of

577
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: a risk to you?

578
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 8: No? Now, because that's my life, that's our life. I don't.

579
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 8: I don't see it as a risk. I don't know

580
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 8: if the studios is that as a risk. But when

581
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 8: we were doing it, we had the Blessing. I wanted

582
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 8: to have more Spanish because the truth is, all those actors,

583
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 8: especially like Alberto Regezzar and Agena Brasa, their main language

584
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 8: is Spanish, and when you speak from the heart, it

585
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 8: doesn't matter where you are, You're going to speak from

586
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 8: the language that you can better communicate. It happens to

587
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 8: me a lot like for me, I'm here struggling as

588
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 8: I translate in real time, like if it was from me,

589
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 8: I would do this in Spanish basically. But our Spanish

590
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 8: is already part of the dynamic. And because we have

591
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 8: three generations of family in the film, it felt very authentic.

592
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 8: This is how we talk. There's the old lady that

593
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 8: only speaks Spanish but understands English because she's been here

594
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 8: for a long time, but she refuses to speak English.

595
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 8: There's the parents that they have to live in both worlds,

596
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 8: and there's the kids that are already born there as

597
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 8: for generation, but English is their first language, but they

598
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 8: understand and they can speak Spanish. So having that work organically,

599
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 8: we just went for the organic. We didn't want to

600
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 8: force anything. We didn't want to force their wrong English

601
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 8: because it felt like that doesn't come from the heart,

602
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 8: it would be better in Spanish. We didn't do the

603
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 8: way Hollywood used to do it, which is like I

604
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 8: say something in Spanish and then I right off the

605
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 8: bad translated in English for you know, the person that

606
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 8: refuses to read subtitles. You know there's no need for that.

607
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 8: So yes, let's swing it because this is how we talk.

608
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 8: And you who hired us for our authenticity, so let

609
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 8: us be authentic, and they did.

610
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: I loved it. I just wanted to thank you for

611
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: creating a story and characters that listen to the music

612
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: we listen to talk the way we talk, drive the

613
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: cars that we drive, and the fact that you put

614
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: those to Kandes de Tijuana in a major motion picture

615
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: was like I was like, that's it for me, Like

616
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: this is gonna be my favorite movie.

617
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 8: Well again, like, you know, the same way that we

618
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 8: consume Cypress Hill, we also consume the stuff that we

619
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 8: grew up in. Like how how untrue would it be

620
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 8: to only play United States Top forty in all Latino?

621
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 8: It doesn't make sense to me. We listen to it.

622
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 8: But you know what, there's other music too, man, you know,

623
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 8: like there's more stuff out in the world that's fun,

624
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 8: that creates a similar emotion. You know, you can have

625
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 8: eighties music in John Hughes and we have sorta stereo,

626
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 8: so why not use it like it's right there for us.

627
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 8: So for me, it was about let us show the

628
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 8: world who how we can be, or a portion of

629
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 8: everything that we can be, and maybe if we don't

630
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 8: conform to the expectations of society, maybe we can bring

631
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 8: something fresh.

632
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, really appreciate it.

633
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:06,680

638
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: to talk to the guys that created and start in Supertroopers.

639
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,880

Speaker 4: Oh yeah, good, how you doing?

654

Speaker 1: Are you doing great? I imagine you guys had the

655
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: after party last night. When you guys go out to

656
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: a bar that people automatically just want to buy you

657
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: beer because you're the beer fest guys.

658
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 4: Lots of chugging. There's a lot of chugging that goes on.

659
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: And you can still handle a chug.

660
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 4: You have to be prepared.

661
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 9: There's certain conditions and like sometimes somebody will hold you,

662
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 9: hand you a freezing cold beer and want you to

663
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 9: chug it, and that's that's not fun.

664
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: I chug any temperature, Guysvin's the fastest chugger.

665
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: You have to be cautious of the drinks that people

666
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: give you. Sometimes you see it be poured. You're worried

667
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: about none of.

668
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 3: Us has been roofed so far. We're we're not handsome enough.

669
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 9: But you Johnny Knoxville showed you a trick where you

670
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 9: throw a shot, you get the shot, but you throw

671
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 9: it over your shoulder while the other person's.

672
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 3: I showed him that trick.

673
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: You know, I thought, you check on the egg.

674
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: People can find me shots in baton Rouge, and I

675
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 3: can only drink so many, so eventually, after one or two,

676
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 3: I would throw the third one over my shoulder. But

677
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 3: I was usually so drunk that I would occasionally hit

678
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: someone right in the face. Right.

679
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 9: And then when we did Irish car bombs.

680
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, well what happened was I did hit somebody right

681
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 3: in the face. They go, oh my god, oh super Troopers,

682
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 3: I got away with it.

683
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: I imagine that's the same effect with like police officers. They

684
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: see you guys, you know're like, oh, supertroopers, guys.

685
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, we get out of a lot of tickets, get

686
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 10: out of jail free cart.

687
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 9: Oh man, I was so busted in New York City.

688
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 9: Sometimes you're out run around New York City and there's

689
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 9: no place to go to the bathroom. So I ducked

690
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 9: into like I ducked into like construction scaffolding, and as

691
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 9: I'm still in the middle. You can be in the

692
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 9: middle of taking a leak and feel when a cop

693
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 9: is right behind you.

694
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: And I was like.

695
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 9: Oh man, I'm so screwed. And I turned around and

696
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 9: the guy's eyes got huge. He's like, you have no idea. Yeah,

697
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 9: how lucky you are, buddy that I'm a bigger I know,

698
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 9: because you'd go to this.

699
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: Is that why you wrote the movie? You're like, we're

700
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: gonna get out of all the things.

701
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it would be the opposite. We thought

702
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: they would be really unhappy with us.

703
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 4: Really, we're nervous media.

704
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: You get out of tickets, you get free, yeah, and

705
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: you get But it's.

706
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 9: Just funny now because it's almost like the maple syrup thing,

707
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 9: Like these guys have been haunted for the last whatever

708
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 9: twenty years, never.

709
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 4: Again, chucking maple syrup, never again?

710
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,760

00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: maple syrup? And everybody now, everybody wants to.

712
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 3: That one really almost killed us.

713
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: So it was real maple syrup.

714
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. I drank two and a half and I made

00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: shoot a love scene which didn't even make the movie,

719
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: but anyway, he went I mean we were we at lunch.

720
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 3: We laid down in the dark in my trailer and

721
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: just shook all for the entire thirty minutes, just shook.

722
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 3: And then and when I got back to the hotel,

723
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,600

725
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 3: after you wait for and he goes, there's a reason.

726
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 3: It's part of maple Syrup's, part of the of the

727
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 3: Master clets and you know, like things came out of me.

728
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 3: I don't remember putting in like a fossilized robin fetus.

729
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't remember that one.

730
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: Park plug Jay is a director. Do you ever ask

731
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: for another take when you really don't need another TAKEE?

732
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: But you just want to mess with the guys?

733
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's something, if it's something that's uncomfortable for them, sure, yeah,

734
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 3: I'll do it just for fun, just for fun.

735
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: So Super Troopers came out when I was ten years old,

736
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: and I feel like it was very influential on my

737
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: sense of humor rewatching it as an adult, I feel

738
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: like you guys don't get enough credit for the writing.

739
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: The writing is just so solid in every single one

740
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: of your movies. So I wanted to share with you

741
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: the top three quotes that I use in my everyday life.

742
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: Oh yes, from all your movies. So and number three

Speaker 6: You get.

745
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: Is it true that that that opening steam was based

746
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: on a true story.

747
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a true story.

748
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 10: It was uh, I think it was Lemmy or They

749
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,799

752
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 10: thrown in jail and the brushrooms kicked in.

761
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,239

778
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 3: who plays the burger dimpestburger guy is also one of

779
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 3: my favorite actors.

780
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 4: He's great, and he's just Charlie Finn.

781
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 3: The two of them, Charlie Finn and him are just

782
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 3: going at it and I'm like, I'm right here.

783
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 4: It was so fun because I said to him I'm

784
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 4: gonna going to tackle.

785
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 10: He's like, okay, here ye are, And then I did

786
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 10: it and he's like, oh my god.

787
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 4: And it was a you know, that's the tack that

788
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 4: we used.

789
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: You know, my number one is from Beerfest and this

790
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: is one of my wife hates because I do it

791
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: every single time. She cannot say the word frustrating it's frustrating.

792
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: It's frustrating.

793
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 6: Frankly, I find the whole thing a little frustrating because

794
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 6: I can't figure it out.

795
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 10: It's frustrating, frustrating, it's frustrating.

796
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 8: It's frustrating.

797
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: Fresh improvised line or was that in the script?

798
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 4: It was improvised, Yeah, it was improvised.

799
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 3: It was just a matter of originally my line, yeah,

800
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: and I couldn't it was your bit. Yeah, I couldn't

801
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: quite get my mind around how to make it funny.

802
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 3: And so I'm like, you do it, and so he

803
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 3: did it, and he started doing it. I'm like, yeah,

804
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 3: that's good, that's better. We'll do that, and so then

805
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 3: they riffed on it on that frustrating.

806
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's that's another one of those things where there's

807
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 10: probably a lot on the editing floor about me messing

808
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 10: on him.

809
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, with trying to make it a snap.

810
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: So between Kevin and j how do you decide who

811
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: is going to direct the movie? Because you directed Quasi

812
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: I did.

813
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

814
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 3: I was doing a movie called Easter Sunday with Joe

815
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: Koy and when this movie got greenlit, so I just said,

816
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 3: why don't you direct it?

817
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: You said, okay, simple as that simple as that.

818
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 4: We've known Ti for a long time.

819
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: Jay I. Speaking of directing, I loved your episodes of

820
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: Unstable that you directed. Oh thanks, I'm really into like

821
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: a twenty four minute comedy right now. Nice, And I

822
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: know you guys are writing super Troopers three. Did you

823
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: ever think that that would work as a TV show?

824
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: Like a twenty minute TV show?

825
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 3: Our process is too thorough to crank television out at

826
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 3: the rate it needs to be done, I think, I mean,

827
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 3: because we write thirty drafts of scripts and it's it's possible.

828
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 3: I mean, that would be a good show. I agree

829
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 3: with you. I just don't know if we'll ever I

830
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 3: don't know that we'll ever do it.

831
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 10: No, no, I mean originally it was conceived that way. There

832
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 10: was a there was a moment time where we're going

833
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 10: to do it as a as a TV show, and

834
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 10: then and then Fox passed, so screw them.

835
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: And Rod the pilot and then where are you guys

836
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,239

842
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 10: We had jokes and we you know, fixed plot stuff and.

843
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 3: Mostly trying to get the structure working and then we'll

844
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,560

Speaker 3: We write these movies occasionally with a little bit of weed,

851
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: so watching them on weed is really it unlocks their true,

852
