1
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: Okay.

2
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: I was thinking about how weird it is that every

3
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: now and then at conventions someone will bring me something

4
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: I won't sign. For example, I think I've said before,

5
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: but maybe I have not. I don't sign my Maxim magazine.

6
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: I don't sign them for many reasons we don't need

7
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: to get into now. But so sometimes people bring those

8
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: up to the table and I'll say, oh my gosh,

9
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: I'm really sorry I don't sign those, and then like

10
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: they'll be like, oh, okay, that's a bummer, and I'll say,

11
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: but we can, you know, you can get a different picture,

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: or if you don't want anything at all, totally fine,

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: nice to meet you. And they leave, and then like

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: ten people later, someone will come up and they have

15
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: their own pictures printed out that they want me to sign,

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: and they're all pictures of me where you can see

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: my feet, And I'm.

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 3: Like really, and I'm like, how many pictures of you?

19
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I don't think I've ever seen

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: a photo of you where I can see your feet.

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: Oh wait, you know what, there's actually a photo of

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: all of us barefoot.

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: Yes, on the beach, like we're standing like.

24

Speaker 5: On a leg.

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody that no one wants your features disgusting.

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,600

00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: All anyway, And I'll think, should I not sign these?

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Uneasy? Either?

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 6: I don't little dirty, I feel a little gross, But

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,720

114
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: open fan and then just do feet pictures. Yeah, I

115
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: think is there something?

116
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: Does anyone have any moral objections to that? When it's

117
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: feed to foot to foot feed, you know what it's

118
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: being used for them, But.

119
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: What is it being used for other than people?

120
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess it's just it's like, are they like.

121
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: Hand websites are I'm sure there's probably.

122
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: Well, you know, there's also they say that scientifically, the

123
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: part of your brain that deals with sex also is

124
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 4: right next to the part of your brain that deals

125
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 4: with feet, So they think a crossed wire and they're

126
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: kind of they connect there's a whole part.

127
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: Of your brain that deals with fat. No, it's just

128
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: one small section of your brain. But it is true.

129
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: But it isn't true, just conceptually, the idea of cross

130
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 3: Just instantly say it's not true.

131
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 6: You have no red, no brain that's google. There's no

132
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 6: one part of the brain that does anything. The brain

133
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 6: is a whole system of jokes.

134
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: There's certain memories set in the brain.

135
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 4: Of course there are, Writer, that's just absolutely incorrect.

136
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 8: So tell me where the part of the brain that

137
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 8: deals with sexes. Please explain that that here, here you go.

138
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 8: Pre sex is the most distributed part of the brain.

139
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 8: You can't say there's this one.

140
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 7: Part, writer, while you're fighting. I need you to know.

141
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 7: I need you to know that Danielle has one hundred

142
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 7: and thirty four pictures on Wiki feet.

143
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 5: I see.

144
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: That's insane.

145
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: You know what it is, though, Writer, It's not all

146
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: naked feet. There are even times I've worn like strappy sandals.

147
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Hi, can we can we talk you for

148
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: one second? Let's get back to how to write or

149
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: telling you you're wrong.

150
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: In the so mutose sensory homunculous S one territory representing

151
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: the feet is next to the brain areas representing the genitals.

152
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: The links to the widely reported S one theory explain

153
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 4: the feat's orogenis zones. There are sections of the brain

154
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: that control different things. There just are right body parts, sure,

155
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: well right, but there's also the so that's exactly what

156
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: they're talking about. The orogenous zone the brain representing the

157
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: part of the feet and representing the part of the

158
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: genitals are right next to right next to each other,

159
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,080

178
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: have never met her. But yet for the past twenty

179
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: or so years, our pictures have been placed next to

180
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: each other alongside Tiffany Ambertheesian, underneath a meme headline that

181
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: reads something like, if this was your first crush, It's

182
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: time for some meta musil.

183
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,839

00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: Amy Joe Johnson.

201
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hey, Hi, how's it?

202
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: Collin it's so great. It is so nice to meet you.

203
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: I feel like this has been a very long time coming.

204
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 5: Oh, well that's nice. Yes.

205
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 2: Are you aware of the heated debates we are involuntarily

206
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: a part of over who was their first nineties crush?

207
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 5: I am not aware of.

208
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: Wow. Wow, you don't google yourself as much as Yes, you.

209
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: Don't get sent nearly as much as I do a parent.

210
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 5: So who's the winner?

211
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: Oh, there's never a winner. We're all losers in that situation.

212
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 5: A thing I'd like try not to think about that

213
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 5: kind of a thing.

214
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's the point. I think men are the

215
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: winner in that situation.

216
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: Just listen.

Speaker 4: Yeah you wouldn't You wouldn't remember this, but you and

222
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: I had a very nice conversation once at the premiere

223
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 4: of the Mighty Morphem Power Rangers movie.

224
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 7: You know what.

225
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 5: I was chatting with my pal David Yost yesterday and

226
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 5: he did remind me that you were there.

227
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: Oh really okay? Yeah, yeah, wow, I wasn't there. Was

228
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: I No, I think I was just me.

229
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 5: I don't even remember being there.

230
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: You were there, you were there.

231
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 5: I think I was there.

232
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: So I know you began your life performing as a

233
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: competitive gymnast. How does Power Rangers come calling as your

234
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: first job.

235
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 5: Well, so I moved my life to Los Angeles when

236
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 5: I was I think like twenty twenty one. I went

237
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 5: to school in New York. I followed a boy cross

238
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 5: country and I was there for about six months and

239
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 5: I actually left and moved back home. But the night

240
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 5: before I went, I met this acting coach, this man

241
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 5: named Walter, who you know, was this very funny, eccentric

242
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 5: older man. Well he wasn't even older then. He was

243
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 5: younger than me than I am now, but he seems

244
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 5: older all the time and just like filled me with

245
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 5: all of this love and just was like, you're going

246
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 5: to be a star. And he had this like tiny

247
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 5: little workshop. And I moved home. He even called my

248
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 5: parents and he said she has to come back, and

249
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 5: so I did. I went back, and literally the week

250
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 5: I moved back is when I got my first audition,

251
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 5: which was for Power Rangers.

252
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: Wow, your first ever audition was for Power Rangers.

253
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I did a couple like tiny, little like

254
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 5: student films and stuff that six months that I first

255
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 5: got there. But like my first real audition it was

256
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 5: with Katie Wallins too, because I had taken a commercial

257
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 5: acting workshop class with her and so she was casting

258
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 5: the show and so she called me and told me

259
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 5: to come in. I didn't even have an agent. I

260
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 5: didn't get an agent till after I left the show. Ges.

261
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: Wow, so it was Power Rangers already. It was a

262
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 4: big thing in Japan, right.

263
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 5: Yes, so it was. I mean I had a whole history,

264
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 5: I think. Yeah, stan Lee even wanted it at one

265
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 5: point and tried to pick and sell it and he

266
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 5: couldn't and then heim Saban ended up getting the rights

267
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 5: to it and you know, made it what it was

268
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 5: at the time, and just took the Japanese footage and

269
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 5: just shot fifteen minutes of the real footage that we had.

270
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 5: I wouldn't call that the real footage, the new footage, yeah,

271
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 5: the American footage and sort of smushed it together and

272
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 5: it was just this really weird, cheesy, fun, brightly colored

273
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 5: kids show that kind of like.

274
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: But so, did your audition include fighting or because you

275
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: were the acting side, you didn't have to do any

276
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: of the stunts.

277
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 5: Oh, we did all our stunts okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,

278
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 5: until we ran out of the footage we had. We

279
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 5: did a bunch of the stunts even with the helmets on,

280
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 5: and then I couldn't breathe. Me and David Yos really

281
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 5: complained about the fact there were like three holes in

282
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 5: the helmets and we couldn't breath. I got stunt doubles

283
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 5: for us with the helmets on, but I was a gymnast,

284
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 5: David with a gymnast, and everybody else was in martial arts,

285
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 5: and so we kind of just faked it for the audition.

286
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 5: I do think it was my gymnastics that got me

287
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 5: the role. I don't think it was my acting skills

288
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 5: at that time.

289
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: So how old were you when you booked the job?

290
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 5: Twenty? I think I just turned twenty two, okay.

291
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: And how old were you when you started in gymnastics?

292
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: Oh?

293
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 5: My god? Seven? Wow? Yeah. That was like my upbringing

294
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 5: in my life, Like I loved it. And then I

295
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 5: actually quit gymnastics when I was around seventeen, okay. Yeah,

296
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 5: and then and then it came in real handy for

297
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 5: that and.

298
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: You obviously you just hadn't lost it, even though you

299
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: hadn't really been.

300
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 5: I you know, I just wrote a comic book. I

301
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 5: don't know if you guys know that, but the Power

302
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 5: Rangel's comic book. And so me and my boyfriend, who

303
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 5: I wrote this comic book with many more from Power

304
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 5: Rangels Turn, we went back and we watched all these

305
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 5: old episodes. Because I don't know about you guys, but

306
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 5: I never watched the show when it was I don't know,

307
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: I think I watched a few, and then I realized

308
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 5: quickly as an actor for myself, I didn't like to

309
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 5: watch myself. Now, as a writer director, I've been in

310
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 5: a few things that I did, I don't even look

311
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 5: at myself as myself. Yeah, when I'm editing, you know

312
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: what I mean, I just being Anyway, we went back

313
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 5: and we watched a bunch of old episodes of Power Rangers,

314
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 5: and I was really sort of surprised and a little

315
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 5: bit impressed with myself that I had still had so

316
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 5: many of those skills that I had as a gymnast

317
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 5: when I was younger. I mean, I can't do any

318
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 5: of that stuff now, really, I did. I have a

319
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 5: a trampoline in my backyard, and I did a backflip

320
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 5: last summer and I was out for like a month, like,

321
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 5: oh no, ACT said, you did no more flips?

322
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why you think you could still flip.

323
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: You could do it twenty years ago. I don't know

324
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: why that thing.

325
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did? You land it?

326
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 5: I did, okay, And then I was feeling really good

327
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 5: in that moment physically, and I actually went and played

328
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 5: frisbee with my boyfriend and I was doing tart wheels

329
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 5: all over the lawn and yeah, no, no more.

330
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: The next day your body was like, what were you doing?

331
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 5: Oh my god, no more going upside down.

332
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: That's you had a very like independent late teenage early twenties,

333
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: because you said you moved across the country to New

334
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: York to follow a boy. Then you were back in

335
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 2: LA and then The Power Rangers filmed in New Zealand.

336
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: Right.

337
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, So, first of all, I grew up on kip

338
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 5: Cood in Massachusetts, in like a small town.

339
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 4: Which town, curiously, Dennis, Okay, So we were in manam

00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 4: It right before the bridge.

341
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: Oh oh really, right next to right next to Plymouth.

342
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's where we spent you know, I'm from Connecticut, originally,

343
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: but that's where my family had our little summer and

344
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 4: were there all the time. So I spent all my

345
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 4: time in like Hyenna's Port, like that whole kind of

346
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 4: area around that, the Cape Cod.

347
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, so very good.

348
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I still have family there. I love going home.

349
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 5: I was just there two weeks ago. I actually love

350
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 5: it in the winter.

351
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: It's so it's a great place. Yeah, great place. Yeah.

352
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 5: So then I went from Cape Cod.

353
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: To k New York.

354
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so you didn't go didn't go that far, okay,

355
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: But then.

356
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 5: I drove across country with a boy to Los Angeles.

357
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 5: A year after I went to New York. A year

358
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 5: or so, I got to LA and six months later

359
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 5: I landed Power Rangers. A year later we were still filming,

360
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 5: and a year later it actually aired in September, and

361
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: then we filmed two seasons for a whole other year,

362
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 5: and then we went to New Zealand to shoot the movie.

363
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: Did it ever?

364
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 4: Did it ever get to a point where you were

365
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 4: no longer using the Japanese footage where the entire show

366
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 4: was being shot here?

367
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: Or was was there always Japanese fotah thrown in? Yeah?

368
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 5: No, they ran out. I mean I I did one

369
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty two episodes within two years.

370
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: Oh my geesh, that's a lot.

371
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, so in one filming day, how like how

372
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 8: much how many pages were you guys doing?

373
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 5: Oh they would shoot like four episodes at a time.

374
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, schedule, but you're doing stunts. Yes, so intense.

375
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 7: Oh, I know.

376
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: There was you know, two units and we were ay

377
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 5: weeks and like we were just in it. We were

378
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 5: like paid seven hundred dollars a week. It was non union.

379
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: Were you having were you exhausted all the time? Like

380
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: was it stressful or was it?

381
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 5: I mean, I had a blast. I didn't really honestly

382
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 5: didn't think the show was going to become what it

383
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 5: was for for kids. I didn't think that at all.

384
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 5: I thought, Okay, I'm getting my feet wet, I'm learning

385
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 5: how to hit a mark. I'm you know, this is

386
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 5: kind of like a cool first job. And I just

387
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 5: sort of emerg myself in it. And it was a

388
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 5: year later that it aired and then the kids just

389
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 5: loved it.

390
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, my son went through such an intense Power Rangers phase.

391
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: My kids. It still works.

392
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And now there's like fifty different shows. They're all

393
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: in the same ilk and you know, and he's like

394
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: he knows which ones are from which generation, and I'm like,

395
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 3: I cannot keep up with any of this. It's so yeah,

396
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: it's great.

397
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's so many. I think it's I think it

398
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 5: just ended last year, to tell you the truth. So

399
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 5: I think I don't know how many generations of Power Rangers.

400
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 5: There were different pasts, but there were a lot.

401
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure.

402
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: Did you have an adjustment period coming off of Power

403
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 3: Rangers into your next job, like to change, like, oh

404
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 3: this is this is different then a different type of

405
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: set than I'm used to.

406
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I actually asked to leave before the movie. Actually,

407
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 5: I went to the producer and said, you know, I

408
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 5: think I'm done.

409
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: We shot thirty eight episodes today. I think I'm finished, right.

410
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 3: I heard other actors are making a little more than

411
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: seven episode a week, right, Yeah.

412
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 5: And he was very kind to me. He wasn't so

413
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 5: kind apparently to other people. But he said, go and

414
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 5: shoot the movie. If you go and shoot this movie.

415
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 5: And then I wrote this other movie called Susie Q

416
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 5: that I would love you to star, and it was

417
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 5: this little Disney movie and like five ten more episodes

418
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 5: when we come back from New Zealand, and I was like,

419
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 5: that's great, and he gave me this beautiful Guild guitar

420
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 5: or a Gibson guitar, and that was sort of my sendoff.

421
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 5: And then yeah, for a year, at least a year

422
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 5: to two years, it was very hard to get that

423
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 5: next job. So I just sort of don't move into

424
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 5: plays and acting classes and just tried to you know what,

425
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 5: I decided, I'm not going to focus on getting an

426
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 5: agent or a manager. I'm going to focus on the

427
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 5: craft and let that naturally happen and.

428
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 7: Come to me.

429
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: Wow, that's very yeah, mature of you.

430
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 5: Which I was a very naive person. But I think

431
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 5: if I look back, I think that was kind of

432
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 5: a smart choice for me to go and just sort

433
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 5: of like kind of hone my skills as an actor.

434
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 5: And it was about two years later, a year and

435
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 5: a half later, I got my first movie of the week.

436
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 4: Remember movies of the week. Remember how much fun movies

437

00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,560

00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 3: which one along road Home. The job where I was

444
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,800

00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,080

450
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,919

00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: part of this huge phenomenon.

452
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 5: Oh, they were very proud. Again, I came from sort

453
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 5: of a small town in Cape Cod nobody was in

454
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 5: the arts in any means, and I just remember my

455
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 5: dad and my mom were really proud. My dad was

456
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 5: so proud to a point that my mom had to say,

457
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 5: stop having people come over the house when she comes home.

458
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,000

464
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,320

00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: My big fan, like all right, thanks, thanks dad.

474
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 4: So going back to Power Rangers, so it becomes a

475
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 4: complete and total phenomenon, I mean it's it's everywhere. How

476
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 4: did your life change when it aired? And then it's

477
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: all over the place, I mean since it because it's

478
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 4: so strange.

479
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: It's like, was really a kid show.

480
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 4: We say we were on a kid show, but we

481
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 4: had you know, the parents would watch with the kids.

482
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 4: Power Rangers was really kind of a little kid's phenomenon

483
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 4: at the time. So could you still have a totally

484
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 4: normal life unless there were little kids around?

485
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: Or were you being recognized everywhere?

486
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 5: I had a totally normal life. I mean we were like, again,

487
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 5: paid seven hundred dollars a week, and at one point

488
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 5: I remember David Yost coming over to my house and

489
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 5: he opened a drawer and there was like thirty five

490
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 5: checks still sitting in the chore Oh my gosh, thank yeah.

491
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 5: I mean like I was a little bit clueless of

492
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 5: like LA and we were working so much, right, so

493
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 5: I think the first time that we were sort of like,

494
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 5: oh wow, this is a very popular show where a

495
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 5: couple different scenarios. One we went to Hawaii to do

496
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 5: a personal appearance and it was me, JDF and David

497
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 5: and we They announced it on the radio and we

498
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 5: got off the plane. You know how they'd lay you.

499
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 5: So we got off the plane and there were at

500
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 5: least a thousand people at the airport. I do believe

501
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 5: it was more, and they started laying us FA and

502
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 5: laying us and then JDF turns around and looks at

503
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 5: me and all I see her his eyes just all flowers,

504
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 5: and we were like like we were almost laid to death.

505
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 5: I know that, but that was crazy. And then the

506
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 5: Universal amphitheater shows. We showed up like we thought we

507
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 5: were doing one little show, and it ended up selling out,

508
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 5: so we ended up doing four shows in one day,

509
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 5: and it actually, to be honest, it gave me nightmares.

510
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 5: And I realized in that moment, I don't think I

511
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 5: really actually want to be famous. I struggled with that

512
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 5: for a long time. And it wasn't until I actually

513
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 5: discovered writing and directing is my passion and that's really

514
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 5: all I want to do. I prefer to be behind

515
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 5: the camera than in front of it. But it took

516
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 5: me about twenty years to really figure that out.

517
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: Will you tell what were those shows? Tell me more

518
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 2: about those live shows. What were those Universal Amphitheater shows.

519
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 5: So when the movie or so when the TV show

520
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 5: first hit, they did this live show at Universal Amphitheater

521
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 5: and it shut down the highway. There were so many

522
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 5: people that showed up. They had to shut down the

523
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 5: one oh one and we were actually stuck in traffic

524
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 5: trying to get to the show, and you're like, the.

525
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: People doing the show.

526
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 4: We.

527
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 5: Get there. It was just I don't know. They just

528
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 5: made this live show. We did one. We did it once.

529
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 5: It was one day, and then you had.

530
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: To do stunts on stage, and like it was.

531
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 5: A oh yeah.

532
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 9: They had had helmets on and we go on to

533
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 9: this big platform and we off the helmet and the

534
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 9: whole Amphitheater screams, and then we did flips off of

535
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 9: the platform and ran around the.

536
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 5: Stage and I remember me and Twee kept going. We

537
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 5: were screaming with the audience, and then we go on

538
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 5: the back and hind some I was like, no screaming.

539
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: Did anyone ever get hurt?

540
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 5: Tweetd Tweet actually hurt her knee when she jumped off.

541
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 5: She uh, yeah, she hurt herself. But yeah, okay.

542
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 2: And then were you getting paid for these show, these

543
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: live shows? Were you getting paid more than you were

544
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: getting paid for the TV show?

545
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 5: My hindsight is really bad. You'd have to ask, like

546
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 5: David Yost or Walter was Walter.

547
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: I'm just going to go out on the limb and

548
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 3: say probably.

549
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 10: Not, probably not, probably not, Yeah, fifty good good luck,

550
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 10: Oh my god, yeah.

551
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.

552
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 4: Well, I just remember knowing seeing how the level of

553
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: talent physically that the cast had.

554
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: I when I was we were fourth season of the show,

555
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: fifth season the show.

556
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: We're at Radford and there's a martial arts studio up

557
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 4: the street, and I thought, I'm going to take some classes.

558
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 4: So I decided to take some hot kedo classes right

559
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 4: up the street, and Walter was in my class and

560
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 4: was a black belt obviously, as I was trying to

561
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 4: put on my outfit, learning what ties to what, and

562
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 4: he the teacher said Walter is gonna give us a demonstration,

563
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, okay, great, So we all

564
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 4: sit around the mat and he flips into the room,

565
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 4: like full on flips into the room out of nowhere

566
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 4: like this amazing thing, flips over us to land in

567
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: the mat, does this gymnastics things backflip, and then just

568
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 4: starts doing these high kicks that would have taken Shack

569
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 4: out like seven feet in the air.

570
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: This insane.

571
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 4: And then he finishes and he walked out. Oh and

572
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: it was the whole class looking around like what the hell?

573
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 4: It was one of the most amazing things I'd ever

574
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 4: seen up close, where it was just like, how is

575
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 4: a human being pulling this off? So the level of

576
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 4: skill that you all had, because what JDF, I know,

577
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: was a martial artist.

578
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: David Yos was a martial artist as well.

579
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 5: Wasn't he He was a gymnast.

580
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: He was a gymnast. So again.

581
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 4: I still with exactly what Ryder said. I'm thinking of

582
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 4: you doing all the stunts. You're working six days a week,

583
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you're doing You're shooting multiple shows at

584
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 4: the same time, and having.

585
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: An actor and an aut to that degree. I mean,

586
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: I've always felt this way about dancers in generally, like

587
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: it's just so yeah, it's so impressive and if anything,

588
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 3: you guys should have been getting paid way more than

589
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: your average actor, right, like yeah, it's you're.

590
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: Doing everything I can retroactively pay you, Like I feel

591
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: like you you deserve to. There needs to be away.

592
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 5: Oh you know what, like whatever, it was, what it was.

593
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 5: It was my first job and now honestly doing conventions,

594
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 5: which has been super helpful as I transitioned from acting

595
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 5: to writing and directing. And just like the kindness that

596
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 5: comes from.

597
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: Those shows and great aren't they.

598
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 5: Kids that are adults now and how it impacted their

599
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 5: lives and like like yeah, I'm good, Like I'm happy,

600
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 5: like super grateful that I had the experience. But it

601
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 5: was dearly a wild ride, definitely a wild ride. Yeah.

602
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: I know we've now mentioned him a couple of times

603
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: only as JDF, but you know, Jason David Frank we

604
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: lost him last year, and we all know firsthand that

605
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: when you share that many years with somebody and you

606
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: know you have those kinds of experiences, those are relationships

607
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: that are one in a million. Not a whole lot

608
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 2: of people know what those those relationships are like, can

609
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: you talk to us a little bit about what your

610
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: relationship is like with the other Power Rangers and how

611
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: bonded or not bonded you feel.

612
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, yeah, David David is like my family. My

613
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 5: daughter calls him uncle Yost. We go on vacations every year.

614
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 5: And he's actually from Wareham. Oh really, Okay, he his

615
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,520

616
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 5: we go to Cape Cod every year together and I

617
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 5: just love him to death. And JDF was a very

618
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 5: very close friend and that was just awful. Yeah, but

619
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 5: as you guys know, like everybody, they're like family in

620
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 5: a lot of ways, you know. And so I would

621
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 5: say David and Jason we're the closest to me. I'm

622
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 5: now super close with jdf's daughter Jenna, and yeah, and

623
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 5: then I see Walter at shows and Catherine, who played

624
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 5: the Pink Branger after me. She's super sweet. She texts

625
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 5: me every now and then we actually got closer, like

626
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 5: I didn't really know her because I wasn't on the

627
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 5: show with her. But Jason passed away, we ended up

628
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 5: reaching out to each other and sort of stay connected

629
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 5: just through texts here and nice yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

630
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: And other than that, you know, I don't really and

631
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 5: then we lost Twee as well, who was the Yellow Ranger.

632
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 5: And then I don't really know much of the other people.

633
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 5: I've met Aaron before she was a Pink Ranger once

634
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 5: or a Yellow Ranger pink, Oh my god, I don't know.

635
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, well it sounds even funny for me

636
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: to bring this up considering what's available on TV now

637
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: for kids. But the violence in Power Rangers was very

638
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: controversial at the time in Canada. It was actually pulled

639
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: from TV before the end of the first season because

640
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 2: of complaints.

641
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: Do you remember any of that?

642
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 5: I do, I remember. I remember the controversy over that,

643
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 5: and and I think it was sort of a choice

644
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 5: for parents, like either they let their kids watch it

645
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 5: or not. But the message of each show is always

646
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 5: like this positive, you know, learning lesson and having female

647
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 5: superheroes kick but was kind of cool, yea, yeah, but

648
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 5: we were just like pounding away on people.

649
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems mild compared to what's out there today.

650
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, certainly compared to what's out there today.

651
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: But my kids are huge fans and we have all

652
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: the Power Rangers action figures, and I have many times

653
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: tried to pick up an action figure and be a

654
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: Power Ranger, and both of my sons have said to me, no, mommy,

655
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: you're the pink Power Ranger. And I was like, I don't.

656
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 2: I don't just have to be the pink Power Ranger

657
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: because I could be a different one.

658
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: Even though they exactly you.

659
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: Take your choice, but they always want me to be

660
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 2: the pink Power Ranger. I'm always like, okay, I well,

661
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 2: I am happy to do it. So I wanted to

662
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: talk to you about Felicity and your work with a

663
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: fellow boy me It's World guest star alum Carrie Russell.

664
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: Was it difficult doing the transition from Power Rangers and

665
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 2: how did that role come about for you?

666
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 5: So I landed Felicity maybe four years, I don't know.

667
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 5: I left Power Rangers in ninety five and I got

668
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 5: Felicity in ninety eight. So in between that, I had

669
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 5: done a bunch of Movies of the Week, like we

670
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 5: were talking about before, and so I think I had

671
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 5: time to sort of take my acting classes and stuff.

672
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 5: And so when I landed that, that was just such

673
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 5: a huge win and I was just so excited to

674
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 5: be part of something that felt just like a little

675
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 5: more elevated Rangers. I'm kind of special and I had

676
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 5: a great time. I was on the show most of

677
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 5: the time. Again, I went and I asked to leave

678
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 5: after two seasons, but I had lost my mother right

679
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 5: when I got the show, and I think I just

680
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 5: needed to go grieve. I actually went to Chicago and

681
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 5: recorded a rock album.

682
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Oh, your character on Felicity was a musician.

683
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: So as if being like a gymnast wasn't an acting

684
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 2: wasn't enough, you also actually played guitar and were singing,

685
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 2: and that was really you doing it right?

686
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well yeah, Julie was first

687
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 5: a dancer, but then I was like, I don't really

688
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,479
Speaker 5: know how to dance, but I play guitar, and they're

689
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 5: like great, so they incorporated that, which was cool.

690
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: Had you always been interested in singing?

691
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I started playing. I taught myself how

692
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 5: to play the guitar in when I was like eighteen nineteen,

693
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 5: and I've always just kept music on the side, sort

694
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 5: of like a hobby, a place to just kind of

695
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 5: go and express, especially when you know things aren't happening

696
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 5: acting career or writing and directing. I actually have an

697
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 5: EP coming out and maybe about a month and a

698
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 5: half we're still mixing it, but it's called Still Here

699
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 5: Mystery Songs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so by going back

700
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 5: to Felicity, what was the question anyway, it was just

701
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 5: it was a huge trendsit it was a very different experience.

702
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, do you looking back now, do you?

703
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously the grieving process, you need to do

704
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 4: what you need to do when you need to do it.

705
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: But if you had to go back, would you have

706
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: stayed on Felicity?

707
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 5: Absolutely? Yeah, And there are no regrets, Like the way

708
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 5: everything rolled out was the way everything rolled out. And

709
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 5: I and now that I know deep inside, like I

710
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 5: am much happier behind the camera and writing and directing

711
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 5: and I and I kind of knew that then, but

712
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 5: I didn't give myself permission to actually pursue yea, I

713
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 5: thought I wasn't allowed to for whatever reason. So you know,

714
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 5: in hindsight, would I have stayed on the show? Probably

715
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 5: should have and yes, But at the same time, I

716
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 5: still I don't know if I would have been any

717
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 5: happier if I stayed, because I don't think that I've

718
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 5: ever truly loved acting, where as I love writing and directing.

719
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned that you're making your return to your

720
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: legacy with the comic book Mighty morphin Power Rangers The Return,

721
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: which you co wrote for Boom Studios. Why don't you

722
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 2: tell us all about that?

723
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I wrote a comic book with my boyfriend

724
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 5: Matt and we actually came up with the idea during

725
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 5: COVID and it was a Power Ranger sort of like

726
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 5: what if the original Rangers had stayed together? Where would

727
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 5: they be now? And we just started creating this wild

728
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 5: story and then pitched it to Boom and about three

729
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 5: years later. Everything takes long, they said yeah, and they

730
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 5: Hasbro and so we did it and we got this

731
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 5: amazing artist and Issue one came out a month ago.

732
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 5: Issue Too is just just came out and there's four

733
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 5: issues and we kind of leave it open ended and

734
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 5: we have more ideas. And it's been very different because

735
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 5: I'm a I write screenplays and I have a couple

736
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 5: of features, and I have two movies and I'm getting

737
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 5: off the ground. So to switch to go to comic

738
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 5: book writing was very different. It's a different muscle, Yeah,

739
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 5: but the immediate not immediate, but the.

740
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 11: Quicker gratification of it is very exciting and fine, then

741
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 11: this story in this script away and then to get

742
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 11: back this amazing drawing and artwork, and like it's it's

743
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 11: been really thrilling and fun and the response has been

744
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 11: pretty great.

745
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: So great. Where can people get it?

746
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 5: The comic book shop, right.

747
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 4: Your local shop Wednesday wednesdays of the day when the

748
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 4: new books drop.

749
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: I think is for comic book fans. I think that's

750
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: what it is. Now.

751
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 4: Is it you said the original it's the OG Power Ranger?

752
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 4: So is it the Green Ranger or is it the

753
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 4: White Ranger or is it the Gold Ranger?

754
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 3: Ah?

755
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 5: So we actually that was one of the things We

756
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,479
Speaker 5: went back and watched the show and found our sort

757
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 5: of jumping off point, and our jumping off point is

758
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 5: when the Green Ranger was still the Green Ranger. Okay,

759
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 5: So then from that point on we've created this news story.

760
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 5: And the story really is there's flashbacks to what happened,

761
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 5: something really tragic happens twenty two years ago, but the

762
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 5: main story takes place now with the Rangers as middle

763
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 5: aged people.

764
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 3: That sounds really cool.

765
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 4: It does happen, But are your characters from Power Rangers

766
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 4: your original OG characters cool?

767
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 5: The Original five.

768
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's so great. That's neat.

769
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: And I also wanted to touch on another thing that

770
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: bonds us. We have both become directors. You directed a

771
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 2: movie starring Felicity Huffman and Lauren Hawley called Tammy's Always Dying,

772
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 2: and you recently directed an episode of Superman and Lois

773
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: So what drew you to direct behind the camera?

774
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 5: Like I said a little bit earlier, I think I

775
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 5: I've always wanted to do that. Right now, I am

776
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 5: did you guys have a video camera in the nineties

777
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 5: and just videotape everything.

778
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: Right especially? Yeah, I have.

779
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 5: A hundred mini DVDs that I'm transferring right now, and

780
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 5: I realize I'm in none.

781
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 12: Of it right running around like filming everything, And I

782
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 12: really I think from that time I already loved directing.

783
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 5: Like there's I found one tape where this girl Raymi,

784
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 5: who was my friend. I dressed her up in my

785
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 5: mom's old nightgown and made her run around a graveyard

786
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 5: and just filmed her like I don't know what I

787
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 5: was doing. She was like my muse, I have her

788
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 5: holding like a cookie monster. And anyway, but again, like

789
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 5: I said, I just I guess I didn't know if

790
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 5: I was allowed to do that. And then I started writing,

791
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 5: and in my thirties I wrote a couple of screenplays

792
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 5: and I actually sent one screenplay called Crazier Than You.

793
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 5: I sent it to John Ham because I had done

794
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 5: a series with him and I knew he was directing,

795
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 5: and I said, do you want to direct this? And

796
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 5: he read it and he's like, you should direct this,

797
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 5: and I was like, oh, maybe I should. And not

798
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 5: that it took a man to give me permission, but

799
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 5: kind of I think in my head it did, and

800
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 5: I was like, I can do this. So as soon

801
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 5: as I finished Flashpoint, which was the last series that

802
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 5: I did here in Canada, I just started shooting short

803
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 5: films and so I just got to I just like

804
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 5: figured it out, caught my teeth and just like got

805
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 5: people together. And then I did my first feature called

806
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 5: The Space Between for three hundred and fifty thousand dollars,

807
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 5: and just got everybody together and did it. And then

808
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 5: I did Tammy And so I don't know if I'm

809
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 5: answering your question, but I realized that I've wanted to

810
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 5: do this from the very beginning.

811
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: I just didn't You've always been a director yeah.

812
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 8: My wife has a similar you know, because she she's

813
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 8: always been an actor and only recently started directing, like

814
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 8: the last ten years. And it's so interesting because we

815
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 8: compare notes and like I always had this idea as

816
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 8: a kid, like I would look I would be like, oh.

817
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 3: That's like the real job is directing, right. I would

818
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 3: look at the director and I would imagine, like, someday

819
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 3: I'll get there.

820
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: And for her that.

821
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 3: Just never even occurred to her because there were all

822
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 3: men and it was not even an ope. It was

823
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 3: just not a conversation. It was like, if you're an

824
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 3: actor and a female actor, you just kind of stay

825
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 3: in that lane. And I remember, like when I was

826
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 3: like twenty four, I worked on a film with a

827
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 3: female DP, and I remember just being like, oh, that's possible,

828
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 3: because literally it didn't exist. It's still so rare, you know,

829
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 3: but it was like, oh, yeah, it's such a you know.

830
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 8: It's just it's so I'm so glad it's finally changing,

831
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 8: you know, because for somebody like my wife, who is

832
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 8: an amazing director, it would have been such a it

833
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 8: would have been such a natural thing for her in

834
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 8: her early twenties to do that instead of acting probably,

835
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 8: you know.

836
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, And then I'm just so grateful for and love

837
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 5: watching people like Greta Gerwig or you know, these these

838
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 5: women who just knew early on and just like our

839
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 5: help paving the way. It's like yes, yes, like why not,

840
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 5: like we have so many stories to tell.

841
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 2: Similar to Writer's Wife Alex, never even occurred to me.

842
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: Never through all the years of growing up. Never once

843
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,959
Speaker 2: being on Boy Meets World, did I think, oh, yeah,

844
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 2: someday I want to direct. Never, it was just like, yeah, no,

845
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 2: I'm I'm of course, I'm in front of the camera person,

846
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 2: and that's all it's ever going to be. And then

847
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: really it wasn't until Girl Meets World where I was like, oh,

848
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 2: you think maybe I could, I could maybe do this,

849
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 2: And then the minute I did, I was like yes,

850
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 2: it was like, oh my gosh, of course this is

851
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: what I'm supposed to be doing.

852
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 4: But did we have a single female director on Boy

853
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 4: especially season seven?

854
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 1: We did? Was it was Jody right Well, Lynn McCracken.

855
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 3: Lynn McCracken did something and then what was her name?

856
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 3: She did the Eskimo episode, the famous episode.

857
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: Oh I wasn't in that one. I don't think gosh,

858
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: what was her name.

859
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 3: She only did the one episode, but she was also

860
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 3: but you know what that was with a lot of

861
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 3: Jody and that other woman came up through a Disney

862
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 3: program for women's price, which was great. They had a

863
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 3: famous stock, right, Jody Binstock was great. She's now a producer.

864
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, there was.

865
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Disney has a program I'm assuming they still have it.

866
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 3: They had a fellowship even back then to encourage female directors,

867
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 3: which was awesome.

868
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 4: That's right.

869
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: We had Lynn and we had Jody. I don't think

870
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: I was in that program.

871
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 3: Who knows. Yeah, that's all right, that's the reality, especially

872
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 3: back then of directing. It's just the boys club.

873
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well you have a daughter. How old is

874
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: your daughter?

875
00:45:58,800 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 5: Fifteen?

876
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: Does she show any interest in the entertainment industry at all?

877
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 5: She really doesn't. She loves math and she loves coding

878
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 5: and right.

879
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 3: So healthy, Yeah, I love it. You can just support

880
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 3: those things unequivocally, just say yeah.

881
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah. But although I find her like she's I

882
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 5: find her very creative and I like, I think that

883
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 5: she would be a really great writer and she actually

884
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 5: I did like a little video the other day. I

885
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 5: wanted to go to the comic book shop and see

886
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 5: if they had my my comic book there. And so

887
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 5: I asked her to filmmate and she did such a

888
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 5: good job. She edited a little movie and I'm like, Ricky,

889
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 5: you there's a future for you in the arts, and

890
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 5: she's like, Nope, nope.

891
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: That's so funny.

892
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 2: So last question, over thirty years since going from Gymnasts

893
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: to Worldwide super Icon, when you see that first season

894
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 2: version of yourself on Power Rangers, what are your thoughts

895
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:11,479
Speaker 2: on young Amy Joe?

896
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: What would you tell her now?

897
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 5: Well, I think one thing I struggled with for a

898
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 5: long time through my twenties was comparing myself to other people.

899
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 5: I think I would tell her, don't do that. That's

900
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 5: just it's it's not it's a dead end road there,

901
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 5: or it's a painful road. Actually, I would tell her

902
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 5: to not do that, and and I would tell her

903
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 5: to go right and direct.

904
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Early, I would also like to go back

905
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 2: and ask for a raise for you.

906
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, retroactively exactly, a raise, some more stunt people and

907
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 4: more than three holes in the mask.

908
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 5: Yes, there were three Rangers that did ask for that

909
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 5: and they were fired.

910
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 2: Okay, really they had paid the way for you to

911
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 2: know the answer for that. Wow the nineties man, Yeah, Wow, Well,

Speaker 2: time four episodes.

927
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: With all the physical stuff too, They're doing all the

928
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: your own stuff. It's always that way though.

929
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 3: I feel like you know.

930
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 8: That It's such a crappy thing about the entertainment industry

931
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 8: is that people are always exploited because you.

932
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 3: Know, we all, I mean everybody loves movies and TV

933
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,000

Speaker 1: Imagic.

936
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like so I mean, and it's not.

937
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 8: Just actors, it's it's mostly crue right, I mean it's

938
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 8: mostly people like young people coming out of film school

939
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 8: totally taking advantage of and paid nothing or very little.

940
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 8: And yeah, and then actors obviously, you know, you're willing

941
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 8: to sacrifice because you're in front of the camera because

942
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 8: you think it's you know, it's and and the truth

943
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 8: is like that's not sustainable, like you know, the chances

944
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 8: of you you know, she had a sustainable career, luckily,

945
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 8: because it sounds like she did a lot of smart

946
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 8: things afterwards. But you know, being just being on one

947
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 8: of those kinds of shows or being on a soap

948
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 8: opera that can last a couple.

949
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 3: Of years and then you might not work again for

950
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 3: ten years. That's just the way. Oh it is. And

951
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 3: it's not to do with your talent. It's just the

952
00:49:58,520 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 3: nature of the business.

953
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 4: I got this other weird thing with this type of

954
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 4: show where it's like almost like an athlete, you get

955
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 4: hurt and they're going to catch somebody else.

956
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 7: That's it.

957
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: You're done.

958
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 4: Oh you blow up your knee. Sorry, you got to

959
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 4: go do something else now. So yeah, that's it's crazy.

960
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 4: But they that's Another reason that I really love the

961
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 4: conventions and the convention circuit is because a lot of

962
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,720
Speaker 4: actors like Amy Joe, like a lot of the Rangers

963
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 4: that we've met, people that maybe didn't make a lot

964
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,959
Speaker 4: of money when they were on the show now get

965
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 4: to make a little bit now and meet the fans

966
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 4: and do all that kind of stuff.

967
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,959
Speaker 1: So it's nice that there's kind of research.

968
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,160
