Speaker 1: You guys.
Speaker 2: This is a very special episode of Howard Danner.
Speaker 1: This is a very very special episode of Howard tan
Speaker 1: Rito's We are reviewing Skateboard Kid Too. All Right, a
Speaker 1: film I'm sure you've heard of in the canons of
Speaker 1: great films. It's critics blamed. Yeah. Yeah, it came out
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five, a year a peak year for
Speaker 1: these types of films, and it just really stood out
Speaker 1: amongst the magical skateboard type genre.
Speaker 2: So yeah, this was This was a movie, a TV movie.
Speaker 2: I was in, like you said, in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2: Uh so, I believe this was right after Full House
Speaker 2: rat Oh wait, wait wait this was a TV movie?
Speaker 2: Oh god, yes, I.
Speaker 1: Thought it was like a No, but they make like
Speaker 1: the it's like a straight to video. Yes, no, it's
Speaker 1: straight to video. Yeah it was it ever shown on TV?
Speaker 1: I don't think it was ever shown. Now it felt
Speaker 1: like like a Yeah, it didn't feel like a TV movie.
Speaker 1: It felt did you feel like a TV movie because
Speaker 1: it didn't have like that many No, I have I
Speaker 1: have a DVD, not a DVD.
Speaker 2: I have a VHS.
Speaker 1: No player to play it, yeah, no player to play it.
Speaker 2: No, but the cover art let's talk about the cover
Speaker 2: art real quick, because you see the magical kid on
Speaker 2: the magical skateboard flying over Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, holding this cover art has no relevance to the movie.
Speaker 1: There's no, not at all none. There's no Mount Rushmore,
Speaker 1: no Mount Rushmore. I was looking for thea. I was
Speaker 1: very bummed. I was like, okay, you know what, there's
Speaker 1: a dog in it. I'll let it's like, not a
Speaker 1: dog to.
Speaker 2: Be found, marry a dog to be found.
Speaker 1: There's one dog.
Speaker 2: There's one dog in the sketchy alley when right, right, right,
Speaker 2: it's walking down the sketchy alley that walks forward and
Speaker 2: isn't barking, but there's barking over the dog.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that one's laser focused on. Yeah. He was
Speaker 1: just like I'm taking three steps forward. Yeah.
Speaker 2: He was supposed to be a menacing dog.
Speaker 1: And it was very sweet, little baby. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 2: And this is the best part about this podcast is
Speaker 2: that I can force you to watch things that you
Speaker 2: would never otherwise.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great, it's great. You've forced me to do
Speaker 1: several things. Run watch this movie, yeah, you know, learn
Speaker 1: about new Kids. Yeah, you have really there are a
Speaker 1: lot of things. I just want you to know that
Speaker 1: I've done for this friendship, so and I and I
Speaker 1: and I'm happy to do it. I'm happy to do
Speaker 1: it and things that I definitely would not have a
Speaker 1: part of. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I think we should do a whole episode just
Speaker 2: showing each other our old commercials that we like.
Speaker 1: Barbie commercials. Oh, I have to find a bunch of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hard to find.
Speaker 2: My brother just dropped off a whole thing of VHS
Speaker 2: tapes because they were in my parents' old house and
Speaker 2: he's in the house.
Speaker 1: You know what. Send them into Legacy Box. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: not an advertisement, but I have sent stuff into them,
Speaker 1: and they're an excellent company that digitizes old photo basically
Speaker 1: any kind of media and you but yeah, Legacy Box,
Speaker 1: legacy box dot com, and they send you all the
Speaker 1: information in the box and you can get it either
Speaker 1: like sent back as I think you can get it
Speaker 1: as a DVD or a thumb drive or just like
Speaker 1: as a digital file, depending on how you want to
Speaker 1: save eight. Yeah, it's great. I love it. And I've
Speaker 1: sent a bunch of stuff in photographs and I sent
Speaker 1: a bunch of VHS tapes into them a while ago
Speaker 1: to get copied onto stuff I want to, like thumb drives.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I definitely need to do that because yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh and yeah, they're a great companies. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Legacy box dot com disappearing is not an advertisement. I'm interrupting.
Speaker 2: Well, because I went through all the VHS tapes looking
Speaker 2: for the skateboard kid too.
Speaker 1: This isn't my dad's.
Speaker 2: Handwriting, so I think this is something he just taped
Speaker 2: it off of somebody.
Speaker 1: But look at this.
Speaker 2: I found one hundred, one hundredth episode. It's in a
Speaker 2: fancy case like oh, and this feels so old. It
Speaker 2: says full house, happy birthday, babies, and one hundredth celebration.
Speaker 2: So does this have like our I know we had
Speaker 2: a big cake, we had.
Speaker 1: Probably got our one hundredth episode on it. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: but does it have like it's like a little party. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably the little party after I'm sure it's got all
Speaker 1: that stuff. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I can't play it. I gotta send this.
Speaker 1: And also what I will say is videos from that era,
Speaker 1: especially they've been in a garage or anywhere hot they are,
Speaker 1: they will start degrading quite heavily if they haven't already.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the sooner the better with those kind of things,
Speaker 1: because you would be surprised at how you know what
Speaker 1: heat and time will do to you know, thirty year
Speaker 1: old film.
Speaker 2: And it's been it's been three decades. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: gotta get that done. I will put that on my
Speaker 2: to do list or later today, Well, put this on
Speaker 2: your to do list.
Speaker 1: Guys, watch this movie because it is it's so nineties.
Speaker 1: It punched me in the face. It doesn't get nineties.
Speaker 1: I got slimed. Yeah, it's like I just want to
Speaker 1: it's so nineties. Yeah, I don't know, it's so nineties.
Speaker 1: Andrew Keagan is in it. How about that? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how you know this should have been a
Speaker 2: success because Andrew Keegan was in it.
Speaker 1: There were some heavy.
Speaker 2: Hitters in this movie too, but we'll get to that.
Speaker 2: But let's start with the synopsis, shall we please. People
Speaker 2: don't know what The Skateboard Kid two is about? First,
Speaker 2: let me answer the number one burning question on everyone's mind.
Speaker 2: Is this movie a sequel to the first Skateboard Kid?
Speaker 2: And the answer is no, No, there's no relationship.
Speaker 1: Oh right, it doesn't. Well, there's a.
Speaker 2: Recur the only recurring character is the skateboard. It's like
Speaker 2: another magical skateboard, but not the characters are different, the
Speaker 2: people are different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it, much like the cover art is unrelated.
Speaker 1: It's just it's almost like this was made by AI
Speaker 1: before there was AI. Right. Yes, if you were like
Speaker 1: make a kid's movie about a skateboard like this is
Speaker 1: what it would do. Yeah, it's it's just yeah any
Speaker 1: reference of any.
Speaker 2: H yeah, no reference. So here's your synopsis. With the
Speaker 2: help of a magical flying skateboard, twelve year old Sammy
Speaker 2: ends up the hottest skateboarder in town.
Speaker 1: I thought he was thirteen. He's it one time he's thirteen.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he does say it nice. Thirteen so he
Speaker 1: looks ten. He looks eat that saw another and they
Speaker 1: write him like he's ten.
Speaker 2: But you know, okay, Well, anyways, however, a group of
Speaker 2: local thrashers don't like the extra competition. They plot to distrashers.
Speaker 2: By the way, I didn't make it. Look I copied
Speaker 2: this hilarious.
Speaker 1: It's hilarious because they they're not great skateboarders.
Speaker 2: Oh, thrashers are notoriously bad skateboard No, No, thrashers are thrashers
Speaker 2: are like.
Speaker 1: You know, like an eighties or like a you know,
Speaker 1: rad skateboarder. No, these kids are not good, like they
Speaker 1: are terrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, no, they're you know, you could
Speaker 2: definitely tell when the stunt doubles.
Speaker 1: We'll get to it. They were like local thrashers and
Speaker 1: you're like they were Yeah, they were like falling off
Speaker 1: their skateboards.
Speaker 2: So they plot to destroy any chance of Sammy competing
Speaker 2: against them in a local tournament. Meanwhile, Sammy's stressed out mom,
Speaker 2: d Wallace Stone, tries to save the house from being
Speaker 2: repossessed by the bank and the evil property developer Bruce Davison. Also,
Speaker 2: Sammy's sister, Tilly, played by the incomparable Andrea Barber, Yeah,
Speaker 2: manages to fulfill every nineties girl's dream by scoring a
Speaker 2: date with Andrew Keagan.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like this was this was like one of the highlights
Speaker 2: of my career.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was huge. And Tilly what it's Tilly's the store, Tilly.
Speaker 2: It's very cute Tilly.
Speaker 1: But I but I imagine Tilly's short for something Tilda.
Speaker 1: Maybe perhaps Tilda, like Matilda shortened to Tilda Matilda, Tilly, Matilda,
Speaker 1: Matilda Curtis. That was my ful I don't know, just
Speaker 1: making things up. I mean it has as much to
Speaker 1: do with this movie as anything else that's gonna be doing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, let's let's get into who was directed
Speaker 1: and written by, because it was directed.
Speaker 2: By Andrew Stevens, who is also co starring in this
Speaker 2: film and produced by he does ever see Basically yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was written by Karen Kelly. And this cast is stacked.
Speaker 2: I'm not just saying that because I'm in it. Like
Speaker 2: this is a star all star cast. Like I mentioned
Speaker 2: Dee waller Stone, she plays the mom Lily.
Speaker 1: She's a stressed out mom and like every movie that
Speaker 1: I see her in and she's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love She's perfect as the stressed out but
Speaker 2: emotional mom's she nailed it. If you don't know, if
Speaker 2: you've been living under a rock, she played the momb
Speaker 2: in Et and she did a bunch of horror films
Speaker 2: like Kujo, The Hills Have Eyes, and The Howling Yes Epic. Next,
Speaker 2: we have Bruce Davison as Bert Squire's This guy's done
Speaker 2: everything under the Sun as well. You'll recognize him as
Speaker 2: Senator Kelly in X Men. Senator Randall Schaeffer in Ozark,
Speaker 2: Emma Stone's father in law La Land. And he played
Speaker 2: the supporting role in Longtime Companion in nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 2: and he won a Golden Globe for that role and
Speaker 2: was nominated for an Oscar that role as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy is y done a lot of work.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, this guy's yeah. I
Speaker 1: just every time somebody popped on Thestagram was like, wait,
Speaker 1: there it is. Yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, You'd think this would just be a bunch of
Speaker 2: no name, you know, actors just trying to get their
Speaker 2: sad card, but no, these were actual legit actors.
Speaker 1: Yes they I would say that, yeah they some of
Speaker 1: them had already done legit movies, but I'd say a
Speaker 1: lot of them like this was probably in the beginning
Speaker 1: of the career. Oh yeah true. Like Bruce Davison, I
Speaker 1: feel like Andrew Baby, I feel like there were other
Speaker 1: people in it that I was like, I k know
Speaker 1: who that person is.
Speaker 2: Anyway, it's enough, It's like a yeah, it's a it's yes. Uh. Next,
Speaker 2: we have Andrew Stevens as Penfield's He's a big time producer.
Speaker 2: He's produced one hundred and eighty films, through his production company,

Speaker 1: Yeah, the weird creepy dude that came and talked to
Speaker 1: children in a park.
Speaker 2: Yes, we'll get there. But yeah, yeah, but he's I.
Speaker 1: Didn't I wasn't sure. I wondered who he was. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize he was so prominent. But yeah, he was
Speaker 1: the director of the producer. I'm surprised he didn't write
Speaker 1: this too to be on like Karen Kelly, feels like
Speaker 1: maybe it's a stage name. I'm just saying that's a
Speaker 1: stage name, right.
Speaker 2: It sounds like yeah. Yeah, So next we have trenton
Speaker 2: Night as Sammy or leading leading man. Uh. He is
Speaker 2: such a good actor.
Speaker 1: Actually, this kid's actually good.
Speaker 2: He's so good. He starred in Munchie and Munchie Strikes Back,
Speaker 2: which is another Andrew Stevens film, and he was an
Speaker 2: Invisible Mom and Invisible Mom too with d Wallace Stone.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of overlap. Okay, it's h Andrew Stevens.
Speaker 1: He liked to use. I felt like I'd seen him
Speaker 1: in other stuff or met him somehow, Like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: his face seemed familiar to me, but he was so good.
Speaker 2: I was like, he must have starred in a bazillion
Speaker 2: things and I don't.
Speaker 1: He was pretty you know what, he was probably one
Speaker 1: of Judy's clients or something. Oh you know what.

Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: We have Andrew Barber as Tilly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know if you've.
Speaker 2: Ever heard of her, but she's freaking fantastic.

Speaker 1: because we ended in ninety four and this was ninety five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, So okay, that that all tracks.
Speaker 1: I mean, either way, I don't it's it's not weird.
Speaker 1: It's not weird, like at.

Speaker 2: this as a as a nineties child actor, this is what.
Speaker 1: The same people well maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know as a but no is as an actor,
Speaker 2: this is not weird.

Speaker 1: with everyone that's ever done a Hallmark movie, like you know,
Speaker 1: like three Degrees of Yeah, separation, Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: Next, we have Turin Bay as Zeno, this bizarre character.
Speaker 1: This weird I don't know, but he was happy with
Speaker 1: the creepy people and the children is it's really.
Speaker 2: Got through the cast list. So yeah, he's I don't
Speaker 2: know what he's done. He was very popular in the forties,
Speaker 2: known for his suave demeanor, exotically handsome looks, and well
Speaker 2: modulated voice I think, And it's the voice is key
Speaker 2: because the skateboard talks, and that's his voice.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it was his voice that really, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had a great role for him. It was like
Speaker 1: like it sounded like like Kit from night Rider, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like that sort of Yeah, it.
Speaker 2: Was giving Kit from night Writer.
Speaker 1: I like them.
Speaker 2: Next, we have Brooks Stanley as Mickey Kincaid, the cute
Speaker 2: little girl who was the best friend of Sammy.
Speaker 1: She was great.
Speaker 2: She appeared in Picket Fences, Grace Underfire in fifteen episodes
Speaker 2: of the second Half. This girl, she didn't have a
Speaker 2: whole lot of.
Speaker 1: Credits, and I thought she's so pre cooked, like she should.
Speaker 2: Have done a million things, you know.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then we have Pablo Orlando as the villain Jay Squires.
Speaker 2: This kid is so good and he only has four
Speaker 2: credits on IMDb.
Speaker 1: I was shocked.
Speaker 2: He was in Dangerous Minds, the Tin Soldier, nine episodes
Speaker 2: of George with George Foreman, and Skateboard Kid Too.
Speaker 1: Those are his only credits. And I'm like, he's so good.
Speaker 2: Can do more stuff.
Speaker 1: Young justin Timberlake, look the macaroni but like not to crispy,
Speaker 1: but yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: And last I have to mention the other friend in
Speaker 2: the Friendship Trio is Willie Santos. Uh. He is actually
Speaker 2: not a professional actor. He's a professional skateboarder.
Speaker 1: He was the one. They have a bunch of Santos
Speaker 1: shirts on was his.
Speaker 2: That he was one of the original skaters on the
Speaker 2: Tony Hawk Birdhouse team. So he's a big deal.
Speaker 1: If you're into the skating world.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: We were more innocent back in nineteen ninety.

Speaker 1: improvement over the original nineteen ninety three film, adding that
Speaker 1: it is often quite witty, witty everything compliment. I cannot
Speaker 1: imagine what would be a vast improvement. So bad was
Speaker 1: the qualify as? But now I feel like I need
Speaker 1: to find Skateboard Kid one. Yeah, maybe we need to
Speaker 1: watch How could it be worse? I mean it was
Speaker 1: very hard to follow Skateboard Kid two, obviously having no
Speaker 1: knowledge of Skateboard Kid one. Right, right, but yeah, but
Speaker 1: uh so it was often quite witty.
Speaker 2: See okay, quite whitty.
Speaker 1: See that.
Speaker 2: I'll take that compliment.
Speaker 1: It's the only only compliment because on IMDb and the
Speaker 1: audience members, which is, you know, the people have spoken.
Speaker 1: It has a score of three point eight out of
Speaker 1: ten on IMDb, and the audience has rated it a
Speaker 1: total of thirty two percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which means
Speaker 1: that a third of people I haven't commented on it. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a great way of friends people have commented on It's. Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: out of the one hundred percent that have watched, thirty
Speaker 1: two percent of people have said that this was terrible.
Speaker 1: This is higher than I expected. I really expected like
Speaker 1: two stars. Yeah, one percent. I expected this to be
Speaker 1: far lower. So I know, and now I'm my my
Speaker 1: interest is peaked, and I want to go find one
Speaker 1: star movies on IMDb because it's got to be just
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's.
Speaker 2: Got to be a great way to spend your spare time.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to remember this. I'm not gonna remember
Speaker 1: I said this and actually do it. But right now
Speaker 1: I'm like, I bet that there's some jewels in there. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it would be.
Speaker 2: One star movies would be great to have on in
Speaker 2: the background while you're doing your lego sets.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's true. Yeah, I have to ask you,
Speaker 1: says you start in this movie, what are your like,
Speaker 1: what are your overall thoughts of this movie?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What how was it filming it? Did you enjoy it?
Speaker 1: Do you remember it? Was it like how long was
Speaker 1: your schedule? How many days were you on set? Like
Speaker 1: it is the scoop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I freaking loved this movie. I loved it as
Speaker 2: a well. I must have been nineteen in nineteen ninety five. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was eighteen or nineteen. I loved it then.
Speaker 1: I loved it now.
Speaker 2: I love these cheesy eighties and nineties movies, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of that. The worse it is,
Speaker 2: the more I love it.
Speaker 1: Me too. And it was a great experience.
Speaker 2: Like see, it was great for me because it was
Speaker 2: one of my first single cam okay experience. It's very
Speaker 2: different than multiicam as you know. Yes, so yeah, it
Speaker 2: was a bit of an adjustment to the single cam
Speaker 2: thing because you know, everything is worse slow.
Speaker 1: By single cam. We mean that usually there's one or
Speaker 1: two cameras shooting. There's usually an A to B cam,
Speaker 1: but it means often you are shooting on location, so
Speaker 1: you're in an enclosed space, so and you're getting different
Speaker 1: shots and different lighting setups. It's not like on a
Speaker 1: sitcom where the stage is sort of pre lit and
Speaker 1: done and there's four cameras that are on the outside
Speaker 1: and it's done a like a theater stage production. So
Speaker 1: that's why it's a lot different, and you it's a
Speaker 1: lot more technical, and you move stuff around so you get,
Speaker 1: you know, one angle, and you do a scene and
Speaker 1: one time and then you're like, okay, now we're gonna
Speaker 1: totally relight everything and reposition the cameras and do it.
Speaker 1: And you do that usually several multiple times in a
Speaker 1: lot of set up, say in the single cablel forever
Speaker 1: for sorry.
Speaker 2: It's a hard adjustment coming from the sitcom world, it's
Speaker 2: it's a hard adjustment. And you know what else I
Speaker 2: realized it. I don't love single cam because you don't
Speaker 2: get to hang out with the whole cast for the
Speaker 2: whole time. Like you know, you're only there on the
Speaker 2: days that they're doing your scenes. So I wasn't part
Speaker 2: of the skateboarding scenes. I wasn't like all these crazy scenes.
Speaker 2: I didn't get to hang out with a bunch of.
Speaker 1: The other kids. It's like you can do a movie
Speaker 1: with someone and never see them, you know, never see.
Speaker 2: Them, right, So I kind of I prefer the sitcom
Speaker 2: world where you're with the whole cast, you can see
Speaker 2: the other actors performing their scenes. This I was just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I was a small part of it and never got
Speaker 2: to be part of the skateboarding scene.
Speaker 1: So, which is a shame, because you you are a
Speaker 1: world class skateboarder. You took it up after you started unicycling, right,
Speaker 1: that's what you should have done. Ridden your unicycle right
Speaker 1: through the middle of them, up that ramp, halfpipe it.
Speaker 1: I bet you could do it. Yeah, that would have
Speaker 1: fit you know, that would not have been weird in
Speaker 1: this movie. Actually, I feel like skateboard Kid three is
Speaker 1: actually unicycle Kid three, because again it has as much
Speaker 1: to do with the first two as anything. So it's
Speaker 1: unicycle Kid three and now it's a magical unicycle which
Speaker 1: really tracks. I feel like that that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes total sense. I might start running right now.
Speaker 1: Send that to the DGA. It's gonna be huge.
Speaker 2: But what did you think as an audience member, Joe,
Speaker 2: what was you?
Speaker 1: What were your overright this? I think my face was
Speaker 1: like the whole time, you know what I mean, like
Speaker 1: my I don't know that my lower jaw met my
Speaker 1: upper jaw were quite some time. I was I was
Speaker 1: agg I believe, as they say, it's a great word word,
Speaker 1: but it means like it's not horrified but just goky,
Speaker 1: like just sort of like I can't believe this. And
Speaker 1: that was from jump from from the the the the
Speaker 1: pixelated beginning sequence which is at the sky, which I
Speaker 1: think might actually be the background from that Soaring over
Speaker 1: California ride at Disney. Sure, that's what I felt like
Speaker 1: I was on. I was expecting to smell orange fields
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, but yeah, that and it was
Speaker 1: it was like someone did it and I and I'm
Speaker 1: making fun of this because it's amazing, you guys, and
Speaker 1: Aby knows I'm good. Like this is. But it feels
Speaker 1: even the opening sequences like like the visual effects are like, uh,
Speaker 1: when you took a computer class in like seventh or
Speaker 1: eighth grade on those macintoshes with the green things and
Speaker 1: you were like writing code and it was really like
Speaker 1: moving a snake or something around. Like it feels like
Speaker 1: somehow they did the visual effects on that because they
Speaker 1: are that great and it's they're fabulous, and this is
Speaker 1: this is by the way, this is a nothing of
Speaker 1: the skateboard and the other things, but the flying sequences
Speaker 1: are a sight to behold.
Speaker 2: Yes, it opens with Sammy, Uh, he's having a nightmare
Speaker 2: where he's or a dream.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: He's flying in the air and it's so well nightmare.
Speaker 1: But no, well that becomes in the beginning, but no,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It open with it. We go into the garage.
Speaker 1: We open in the garage flash mac right, yea in
Speaker 1: the suit when the flashback when he's a little kid,
Speaker 1: which yes, I didn't get was a flashback, and was
Speaker 1: wondering why they were walking into the shed. Well, no,
Speaker 1: when they opened the door, I was like, is it
Speaker 1: are they dead? What's happening?
Speaker 2: And then yes, but have been adjacent?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and just I love how he unzipped from
Speaker 1: one coverall in the mechanic thing just right, unzipped into
Speaker 1: air force uniform and his helmet was right there to
Speaker 1: go flying a jetplane. Yeah, it was. It was effective
Speaker 1: that and he told us that if only he could
Speaker 1: fly this plane, all foreshadowing something terrible happening.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm always doing productions where the
Speaker 2: dad is dead. It was someone's dead apparent.
Speaker 1: Well that's I mean, that's a pretty common theme. It's
Speaker 1: dead parent. I either you're happy or sad about it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's either worked out well
Speaker 1: or not so it's a lot of things start there.
Speaker 1: Oh boy. So yeah, so we started this weird shed
Speaker 1: scene where he has breakaway clothes and that was in
Speaker 1: an air Force suit and he walks out of a
Speaker 1: door into the white light, and then we foreshadowing, then
Speaker 1: it foreshadows. Then we realized he is gone.
Speaker 2: He had die.
Speaker 1: He died because he was the only air Force flying
Speaker 1: a plane.
Speaker 2: Yep. And it ties into this kids, Yeah, who's having
Speaker 2: nightmares about our dreams or whatever about flying through the sky.
Speaker 1: He wants, well, they're they're playing with the airplane, aren't
Speaker 1: they the thing that flies around like one of those
Speaker 1: airplanes on a string. Which, yeah, I was like, how
Speaker 1: do you guys not get dizzy? They were just spinning
Speaker 1: in circles. I would have gotten sick totally. But and
Speaker 1: then they tow the car, right, Oh yeah, the car,
Speaker 1: the car that dad has sold in the flashback has.
Speaker 2: To be sold because mom can't pay the mortgage on
Speaker 2: the house because his dad's gone.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep.
Speaker 2: I guess that life insurance just wasn't enough.
Speaker 1: You know, Danny Tanner. That's all I'm saying, right.
Speaker 2: The difference between this single mom and then single Danny
Speaker 2: Tanner and his mansion in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Yeah, craziness.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So what were some of your favorite scenes
Speaker 2: in this movie? Oh, you have to just narrow it down.
Speaker 1: I mean when they're walking through the weird warehouse that
Speaker 1: he winds up in, where you're like, why is this
Speaker 1: child going alone through alleyways into a warehouse by himself?
Speaker 1: Has no one taught him better? But then there's a
Speaker 1: lot of problematic things through the whole movie that answer
Speaker 1: that question, and the answer is no, no one has
Speaker 1: taught him better not to talk to strangers and go
Speaker 1: into weird alleys. So they go into this warehouse thing
Speaker 1: where Zeno eventually appears, and it was it was giving.
Speaker 1: It was giving Xanadu vibes. Maybe because I just watched
Speaker 1: it recently, but it was giving, like magical man appears
Speaker 1: and lights and flashing things and and nothing makes sense,
Speaker 1: but where they're walking through, like the bookshelves that are
Speaker 1: empty and the light and that, like it was cool,
Speaker 1: but I it was I I was like, what is
Speaker 1: gonna happen?
Speaker 2: Like I thought it was setting up for a creepy.
Speaker 1: It was creepy. It was creepy. It was it felt
Speaker 1: ominous and also I was like doing the like I
Speaker 1: was trying to duck around the bookshelf because it was
Speaker 1: neither above nor below his face. It was somewhere around
Speaker 1: his chin most of my time, so you couldn't see
Speaker 1: his face as he's talking, and you want to because
Speaker 1: it's not anyway. That was great. That was and then
Speaker 1: he then he disappears into a light bulb.
Speaker 2: Fantastics but again special effects, fantastic love it. This scene
Speaker 2: was kind of reminiscent of The Never Ending Story. Did
Speaker 2: you watch that when the kid goes into the book
Speaker 2: is it a break store? Yeah, and he talks to
Speaker 2: a guy like it was sort of giving like that
Speaker 2: set up where he opens the book and the yeah,
Speaker 2: the nothing that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was supported.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sort of sort of like and.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, we're introduced to Starduster, start up,
Speaker 1: Startarduster at this point, the skateboard and the skateboard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing, and it doesn't talk yet, not not
Speaker 1: at this point. No, because that's a surprise.
Speaker 2: Yes, we have to wait.
Speaker 1: We're building.
Speaker 2: We're building to the reveal that this skateboard can talk
Speaker 2: and that he can fly and turned this little boy
Speaker 2: who's never skated before into a professional world class skateboarder.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And how that happens is between the squire's kid mm hmm,
Speaker 1: and he challenges the younger kid. Oh no, they meet
Speaker 1: in like that weird sort of back alley wash thing
Speaker 1: first and have the skate thing right before they can share. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the La River bed or whatever. Okay, oh, yes, so
Speaker 1: they do that and he like skates, uh, but like
Speaker 1: he kind of doesn't he fall or something like Starduster
Speaker 1: isn't uh turned, Starduster's not totally worked. The starduster is
Speaker 1: not totally working, and so like some things have happened,
Speaker 1: but he thinks he can do it, and he goes
Speaker 1: down there and he just makes it kind of makes.
Speaker 2: A fool of himself, but it's trying to show off
Speaker 2: for the big boys, who I guess they're supposed to
Speaker 2: be the same age, but he looks eight and they
Speaker 2: look right.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, yeah, it was shocked. I was like,
Speaker 1: you guys the same age, but yes, and this is
Speaker 1: part of the crew that Andrew Keegan is with.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And I'm also a side note, convinced that the best
Speaker 1: friend Mickey Uh. For almost the whole movie, I was
Speaker 1: almost sure that she couldn't actually ride her bike because
Speaker 1: you never saw her riding it. Really that I remember
Speaker 1: every time you saw the kids, she was walking with
Speaker 1: the bike, and I wondered, why is this bike so important?
Speaker 1: Which we later find out but it's critical, it's critical.
Speaker 1: But we also find out that yes, she can ride
Speaker 1: that bike, and yeah, and she has a much better stunt.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I was just like, why is she never
Speaker 1: on the bike? She always walking the bike. Anyway, She's
Speaker 1: always walking bike. But then I did in the wash
Speaker 1: and h and he makes a fool himself. But then
Speaker 1: they kind of challenge each other to a thing, a duel,
Speaker 1: to a duel, Yeah, a skateboarding duel on obviously great
Speaker 1: hill for skateboarding. They basically go and have this challenge
Speaker 1: on like a dirt road. I was like, who skateboards
Speaker 1: on this? Don't you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was not a very you know, big budget production.
Speaker 1: We were a little well and he didn't need a
Speaker 1: skateboard because as he goes flying down the hill, guess what, people,
Speaker 1: Starduster comes to life at the perfect moment because basically
Speaker 1: this kid is trying to kill him. Yeah, if we
Speaker 1: really acknowledge it. The kid is literally playing chicken and
Speaker 1: trying to send this kid off of a cliff.
Speaker 2: It's very dark when you think think about.
Speaker 1: It, You're like, oh my god, he could have died.
Speaker 1: And instead of dying, he has a magical skateboard, thankfully,
Speaker 1: or this movie would have been real short and real dark.
Speaker 1: And he goes flying like a bird over the trees
Speaker 1: and lands safely, much to the shock of all of
Speaker 1: the skater boys and himself. Skater boys are very impressed
Speaker 1: by this. They are very impressed, and I was very
Speaker 1: impressed by the visual effects of him flying.
Speaker 2: Oh it's so realistic. I really thought he was flying.
Speaker 1: Oh wow. It was likely he didn't have the money
Speaker 1: for a harness, and so they lean him up against
Speaker 1: a table that they covered it in a green cloth,
Speaker 1: and he was pretending to fly, but like was leaned
Speaker 1: up against something. There was there was That's exactly what
Speaker 1: it was. I'm sure I wasn't there there was another
Speaker 1: thing where he's flying and he's actually in the harness
Speaker 1: and his jeans are up to his rkle height, you know,
Speaker 1: and you're like, why does he look so strange? You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: because he's wearing a weird harness but this one just
Speaker 1: looked like they were like, look, we we spent all
Speaker 1: our harness money. So just lean forward and pretend like
Speaker 1: you're flying. And he was like doing the worm. It
Speaker 1: was great. It was great. I was I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you're flying straight, sir, but it's yeah.
Speaker 2: It's I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: This is again, such a gem. Just you're a dog.
Speaker 1: I was like, what is he doing? Oh good, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh skateboards anyway, Kids survives yeah, and goes on to
Speaker 1: to you know, basically become best friends with a skateboard,
Speaker 1: which is sad well he and he ignores uh Mickey
Speaker 1: his best friend. Oh she was the best. Can we
Speaker 1: talk about the amount of just casual misogyny in this
Speaker 1: movie though, Oh the Kids insults women several times. He's like,
Speaker 1: oh women whatever. Yeah, there's several comments where I'm like,
Speaker 1: where he likes is and the skateboard says to him,
Speaker 1: you only appreciate like a quote that says you only
Speaker 1: appreciate women when you run out of socks. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that was. And if you listen to something like that,
Speaker 1: whole banter back and forth is like, oh, women are useless, like, ew, gross,
Speaker 1: they're disgusting. I know, yeah, but hey when you need
Speaker 1: him to do your laundry and it's good damn around,
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 4: Like, what, Yeah, a misogynistic skateboard then creepy dude with
Speaker 4: the ponytail at one point like tries to seduce mom
Speaker 4: in order to get her house and comes on so
Speaker 4: strong and is so inappropriate and like creepy ray pee vibe.
Speaker 2: Uh oh yeah, Bruce Davison is a creepy.
Speaker 1: He basically yeah, he is. Uh yeah, He's a total
Speaker 1: rape douchebag. And it made me uncomfortable, made me super uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Ken Fields may be uncomfortable when he pulls up in
Speaker 1: a in a expensive car in his little shorts and
Speaker 1: gets out to watch some young boys skateboarding. He was like,
Speaker 1: excuse me, sir, what are you doing? Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: he's like, hey, kid, you ever try skateboarding? I was like, no,
Speaker 1: this is what you warned every kid about, Like no,
Speaker 1: don't ask the man skateboarding. And then he's like, I
Speaker 1: could really build your career. And you're like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be the coach. It's always the coach.
Speaker 2: And I was missing with Candy like give the kids
Speaker 2: and he had a panel van you know, and.
Speaker 1: The promise of a puppy somewhere. No, instead it was
Speaker 1: the promise of of money and fame. Yeah. And luckily
Speaker 1: this wasn't uh dateline and it was a nineteen nineties
Speaker 1: skateboard magic movie, so could have got Bair to this.
Speaker 2: This is a critical plot point. So because the goal
Speaker 2: is so the villain, the villain boy Jay I think
Speaker 2: his name is Yeah there justin Timberlake, just yeah, Jay Squires.
Speaker 2: Jay Squires decides he wants that magical skateboard because he
Speaker 2: has to win this turn.
Speaker 1: Because the kid didn't die. Yes, his first plan didn't work.
Speaker 2: So he and his dad, Bruce Davison decide, Okay, we're
Speaker 2: going to distract the people that live in the Curtis house. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so that that Jay Squires can go in and steal
Speaker 2: the magical skateboarder.
Speaker 1: So what do they both do? They both like go
Speaker 1: after the women of the house in a creepy way.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, and they wrope Andrew Keagan is this thing.
Speaker 2: Bruce David Davidson is the rape dude with the wall
Speaker 2: of stone.
Speaker 1: He's like shows up at her house with flowers after
Speaker 1: he's also just been on her property all the time,
Speaker 1: measuring for stuff, trespassing, trespassing, and uh, she hates him.
Speaker 1: And then he shows up like with flowers and like
Speaker 1: tries to seduce her and she Uh. As a woman,
Speaker 1: I watched it and I was like, Oh, she's so
Speaker 1: uncomfortable and wants to shut the door but she can't
Speaker 1: because he's there. Yeah, so it was I was definitely
Speaker 1: watching it with different eyes. Yeah. Yeah, she says, yes,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't have to, Like, you don't have
Speaker 1: you go to dinner with him. She literally says if
Speaker 1: I go to dinner with you, will you stop harassing me?
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, if that ain't a nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety five statement of I mean that right that that
Speaker 1: has gone away completely.
Speaker 2: Well, she's she's under duresst wall of.
Speaker 1: Stone, stressed out mom, stressed out single mom. Right, dad's
Speaker 1: either dead or often you know, Tahiti with someone else.
Speaker 1: And she's got an alien in a closet. So she's
Speaker 1: always got very big problems Aliens in closets. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: kids drunk at school, Uh, you know, losing a house,
Speaker 1: legible skateboards.
Speaker 2: She's so stressful, this is like woman a break. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then Jay Squires convinces his buddy Andrew Keegan.
Speaker 1: To ask Tilly me out on a date to get
Speaker 1: me out of the house too. Now we need to
Speaker 1: back up a little bit because we haven't spoken nearly
Speaker 1: enough about Tilly. That is. That is why we're here. Okay,
Speaker 1: that is why we're here. Let me get a sip
Speaker 1: of tea and yeah, I need my coffee. Did you
Speaker 1: find any plot holes in like, I mean, I that's
Speaker 1: not a question, uh, because yes answers yes, that that
Speaker 1: the entire movie is a plot hole. It's just yeah,
Speaker 1: but like, is there any with your character in particular?
Speaker 1: Because I found one?
Speaker 2: Oh you did?
Speaker 1: Oh? I did? Well? Yeah, I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: a plot hole. It was a minor detail? Is it?
Speaker 2: The dress is?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's the dress. So there's one scene I
Speaker 2: had to add.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say there's one scene where you're libbing,
Speaker 1: because you can always kind of tone on that because
Speaker 1: they're like h yeah, and you're like ah yeah, because
Speaker 1: it's uncomfortable. I hate it when they're just like and
Speaker 1: I do it.
Speaker 2: I'm on the phone because I'm a teenage girl. So
Speaker 2: I'm on the phone for ninety percent of the.
Speaker 1: Movie almost yeah, logically attached to you.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 2: So so Andrew Stevens, the director is just like, just talk,
Speaker 2: just talk like a teenage girl would talk. And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: but this is a really long, freaking scene where they're
Speaker 2: trying to steal my nail polish or something like that,
Speaker 2: and it's.
Speaker 1: Got to be that you're like talking during the whole
Speaker 1: shot of them getting in the like it's a oh right, and.
Speaker 2: It's long and lengthy, anomally talking, and the scene so
Speaker 2: you only hear me with my bad ad libbine right,
Speaker 2: which was the scene wasn't And.
Speaker 1: You can't really be quiet as if someone is responding
Speaker 1: fully because then it just leaves dead air and they
Speaker 1: want you to be talking in it. So yeah, it
Speaker 1: feels awkward and weird.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, I'll talk about my dress for this
Speaker 2: dance that's coming up, I'll talk about my nails, I'll
Speaker 2: talk about my hair, I'll throw some shade at my mom.
Speaker 2: It worked, but at one point I was like, can
Speaker 2: we cut?
Speaker 1: Like where are we gonna cut?
Speaker 2: I'm just rambling, right, So anyways, So yeah, so Tilly
Speaker 2: talks about her dress in this one scene, and then
Speaker 2: later on, after Andrew Keagan asks Tilly out to go
Speaker 2: to this fall dance, she's like, oh my god, I
Speaker 2: need a dress. I don't have a dress. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: she was just talking like.
Speaker 1: Dance a mess. I need to get him done, and yeah,
Speaker 1: she's yes, maybe she was so excited that she was
Speaker 1: just so excited that she forgot let's go with that.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly, which.
Speaker 1: Again is sad because he's only there to distract her
Speaker 1: and doesn't really like her in the beginning.
Speaker 2: But you can be you can see Andrew Keegan strugg
Speaker 2: and this was a note he got from the director
Speaker 2: smiling shoot this several times about smiling.
Speaker 1: Stop like being oh, I just like it looks like
Speaker 1: he's gonna laugh or something like oh no.
Speaker 2: The note was you could they wanted to see Andrew
Speaker 2: Keagan struggling with this, like he's not a bad guy,
Speaker 2: but he's acting like a bad guy with this whatever.
Speaker 2: So you can see he feels bad that he's asking
Speaker 2: Tilly out only as part of this tist plan and
Speaker 2: he kind of struggling, but he kind of feels bad
Speaker 2: about and you can see that you can absolutely see it. Yes,
Speaker 2: Andrew knocked this out of the park.
Speaker 1: Yes, and what not that they wanted to see that
Speaker 1: contract was the note?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it was more just kind of straightforward, like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you out starting here's.
Speaker 1: Here's what's happening under the surface.
Speaker 2: Right, this note was kind of like struggle with it
Speaker 2: more and just look, I don't know, look like you're
Speaker 2: like you kind of feel bad, like you feel bad, right,
Speaker 2: And I could see that, Yeah, he has he walks away,
Speaker 2: He's kind of just like pauses and looks around, just
Speaker 2: like what I'm a dick man?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Did I just do?
Speaker 2: Why am I participating in this?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Truly truly? Uh but yeah he then you know,
Speaker 1: your character freezes out.
Speaker 2: I I do.
Speaker 1: Wish I had gotten to know tillymore, though we don't.
Speaker 1: We really only see her uh attached to the phone,
Speaker 1: right or he's on the phone awkward at the dance,
Speaker 1: which you were great, but like intentionally awkward not but
Speaker 1: but it was written to be yes, yes, uh, we
Speaker 1: did that swimmingly well. Oh to say nothing of the extras,
Speaker 1: Oh well that was okay.
Speaker 2: First, you you probably know we weren't at an actual dance.
Speaker 2: All those extrack footage.
Speaker 1: It was like, you guys, I'm not kidding. I've rewound
Speaker 1: it a couple of times during the clips of the
Speaker 1: kids just dancing because it was so it's an and
Speaker 1: I know as an actor and I had to do
Speaker 1: this recently on a in a scene and there was
Speaker 1: no music, so I played music because we were doing
Speaker 1: it was mos and so I played music like in
Speaker 1: the background and was like we were trying to make
Speaker 1: it as normal as possible rather than just like waving
Speaker 1: our arms and having a party silently, because that's really awkward.
Speaker 2: But it's really nothing dancing that.
Speaker 1: No notes.
Speaker 3: There was one kids that was giving it his all,
Speaker 3: left it all on the floor. These kids looked some
Speaker 3: of them looked very young, some looked too old. Well,
Speaker 3: some were dress that's kind of isn't it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: You got six feet kids, mustaches are very different.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's so true.
Speaker 1: But no, we that was all stock footage.
Speaker 2: We just shot like I think in that same warehouse
Speaker 2: with the creepy Sanno or whatever his name is.
Speaker 1: That was stock. You guys, Like when you walked there
Speaker 1: was no dance scene. There was.
Speaker 2: They just put a like a background with a table
Speaker 2: of snacks and side balloons up. We just got that
Speaker 2: scene with like there were what two extras or two background.
Speaker 1: Actors and then the kids dancing and everything was just.
Speaker 2: So that was stock foot.
Speaker 1: We didn't know.
Speaker 2: That wasn't that wasn't what I shot.
Speaker 1: That was better. It's even better.
Speaker 2: We couldn't afford a whole dance scene. Heck no, we
Speaker 2: could afford one wall, one background and a table full
Speaker 2: of snacks.
Speaker 1: Punch. Okay, that's even that's amazing. I love that.
Speaker 2: And that scene was very it was It was as
Speaker 2: awkward to act as it was written, like we're supposed
Speaker 2: to be Andrew again until they are just kind of
Speaker 2: like they don't know what to say, so awkward.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that was just as awkward to perform as
Speaker 1: it was well it read to read it perfectly. It
Speaker 1: was the level of awkward and uncomfortable was palpable.
Speaker 5: And now I know it's because you were acting, so
Speaker 5: no acting records, no acting or you were like I
Speaker 5: am his method right now, I am living at the moment.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, yeah, I was gonna ask like, how was
Speaker 1: that scene? Was it one of those scenes that you
Speaker 1: had to shoot all day because of all the extras,
Speaker 1: and now I know it took twenty minutes. Like I said,
Speaker 1: it's like this movie was made by AI before there
Speaker 1: was Ai. You know. It was like we just cut
Speaker 1: out the middle end and we're just gonna fake everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the director had to get very creative. And I asked him,
Speaker 1: as you do. Was he also shooting it himself? Was

Speaker 1: Because this was definitely not Kimmy Gibler wardrobe. Was it
Speaker 1: a relief to not be in that well? Yes, on
Speaker 1: one hand.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, when I first started watching this
Speaker 2: movie last night, I was like, did we not have
Speaker 2: a budget for.
Speaker 1: A wardrobe depart?
Speaker 2: Like the wardrobe was really terrible on all accounts, not

Speaker 1: was a red and blue one that you had that
Speaker 1: you were wearing, and that was I was like, that's
Speaker 1: Andrew's shirt. I don't know why I remembered that that again,

Speaker 1: picture of us in it. Yes, it was abe shirt,
Speaker 1: it was a wardrobe shirt. But that those were all
Speaker 1: my own clothes. That's what I thought. I was like this,
Speaker 1: bring your own BYO c S party. Yeah, your own clothes.
Speaker 2: Yes, and so I thought wow, and I've never been
Speaker 2: I hate fashion.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I just don't want to think about it. I would
Speaker 2: wear the same thing every day.
Speaker 1: If I could.
Speaker 2: So I didn't put fashion.
Speaker 1: I could, if you want it, I could, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I'm just Steve jobs it and
Speaker 1: like just get you know, black pants and black turtleneck.
Speaker 1: I would love that. I would do love that to
Speaker 1: wear the same dance holding every day. Nothing nothing, You're
Speaker 1: Andrea damn Barber. You were in skateboard kid too. You
Speaker 1: can do whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, an ego boost. Yes, But let's talk about the dress.

Speaker 2: Yes, so I got I'm glad I got to wear.
Speaker 1: It on screen. It was good to describe it for everyone. Uh,
Speaker 1: even though I want to hold it from withhold it
Speaker 1: from you so you actually go watch Skateboard Kid too.
Speaker 1: It was green velvet off the shoulder, just like you
Speaker 1: described it in the in the scene, but off the
Speaker 1: shoulder green velvet. Sort of an a line skirt line skirt,
Speaker 1: not even a line, but like a like a little
Speaker 1: bit of a swing sort of to it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, like a swing. Yeah, and uh, the
Speaker 1: fitted fitted bodice and it had like a lace applice
Speaker 1: in sort of a like across the colotage and into
Speaker 1: the uh, into the the cleavage area. But it wasn't
Speaker 1: like but there was an it was right. It was
Speaker 1: like where that would be was all like this pretty
Speaker 1: lace and pearl stuff. And yeah, you it was gorgeous.
Speaker 1: It fit you beautifully.
Speaker 2: You looked I felt beautiful.
Speaker 1: It looks so pretty. I looked her hair down and like,
Speaker 1: it was nice to see you being like normal, you know,
Speaker 1: and not have to be like, I mean you were
Speaker 1: still kind of the fun silly, you know, calling your
Speaker 1: brother Booker and whatever.
Speaker 2: But oh yeah, there was some Kimmy Gibbler moments like
Speaker 2: yelling like get it hair or whatever I was doing.
Speaker 1: I did have to wonder my hair, Like I feel
Speaker 1: like the hair. Did I do my own hair for
Speaker 1: the movie, because it except for the dancing the Andandrew
Speaker 1: was busy curling your hair and shooting the movie, so
Speaker 1: he was was camera opping with the other.
Speaker 2: Because he Yeah, but I had several scenes where I
Speaker 2: had like that founding father's ponytail in the back right,
Speaker 2: it just didn't look very quaft, and so I'm like,
Speaker 2: did I just throw my hair back now that ponytail?
Speaker 1: That's what was probably just like someone doing makeup and
Speaker 1: hair that was like, hey, I've put makeup and hair
Speaker 1: on myself before, how hard can it be? You know,
Speaker 1: and like like that's I feel like that was probably
Speaker 1: what was in the budget for it. That's it's not right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: something like I have a bag of makeup at home,
Speaker 1: Sure I'll use that, you know, and they were like
Speaker 1: pull it back, yeah, and no time anything else. I
Speaker 1: don't know, yeah, but no, your hair. But in the
Speaker 1: dance scene. You know, you had the little nineties ringlets.
Speaker 2: The ringlets, it was half up. I really I never
Speaker 2: felt more beautiful on TV. Well you looked, Yeah, you
Speaker 2: look very pretty. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I love I love that. Any moments while you were
Speaker 1: filming the movie that particularly stand out good, bad, or indifferent?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well so probably the go to the bad.
Speaker 1: The indifferent probably isn't very interesting, but yeah.
Speaker 2: I have I have one for all that will fit
Speaker 2: all of them category.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it hit me.
Speaker 2: So the scene where Andrew Keegan is bringing to Lee
Speaker 2: home from the dance, right, we are on the front
Speaker 2: stoop right the front port. Yes, and there's like some
Speaker 2: talk He's like, well, I guess I go there's like some.
Speaker 1: You on the porch of someone's house that didn't give
Speaker 1: you permission to shoot there?
Speaker 2: Oh no, we had rented the house. Was that we
Speaker 2: we actually shot inside that house?
Speaker 1: And Okay, I got it because I was. That would
Speaker 1: have been amazing. The porch light's really great.
Speaker 2: Talk about it, just talk about it was Bruce Davison's shot.
Speaker 1: So yes, with like the lighting is very soft.
Speaker 2: I'm wearing Andrew Keagan's jacket.
Speaker 1: I take it off.
Speaker 2: I hand it to him our fingertips, brunt, I look
Speaker 2: down four hundred times at these fingertips, right.
Speaker 3: And then.
Speaker 1: They cut the kiss.
Speaker 2: There was a kiss, people, I kissed Andrew Keagan alongside
Speaker 2: nine hundred other You know, I could.
Speaker 1: Sell t shirts that say that I can't. I thought,
Speaker 1: was this shirt? Yes, so I know it's in the
Speaker 1: original like DVD or VHS tape.
Speaker 2: I've seen it.
Speaker 1: I've seen it. I got it. The director's cut.
Speaker 2: I need the director's mom has a picture. She has
Speaker 2: a picture of this, so I will find.
Speaker 1: It and bring it. Picture of you guys kiss. Yes, amazing, Right,
Speaker 1: that's a very like, that's a very Sherry Barber moment.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she had no shap. Just get a picture
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 2: So, for whatever reason, it's cut from this YouTube version.
Speaker 1: I'm so mad.
Speaker 2: I rewound it three times and I am for it.
Speaker 1: Really disappointed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because then I was in love with Andrew Keagan.
Speaker 1: Of course I was. Also I was in love with
Speaker 1: Andrew in the nineties, right after our after our stream kiss. Yes,
Speaker 1: that was it was literally, that's the joke. Now we're
Speaker 1: like like he was just it was just a little
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was he was everything that
Speaker 1: a thirteen or fourteen year old boy with a lot
Speaker 1: of attention would be. So yeah, he was making out
Speaker 1: with everybody. It was hilarious.
Speaker 2: It's those long locks, I tell you it's it's magical hair.
Speaker 2: He had magical magical hair, truly. Yeah, it's true, like
Speaker 2: with the tentacles sort of. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm so sad that you didn't get to
Speaker 1: see that epic. I am too, so wonderful. I know
Speaker 1: you were tearing your your garage apart. You were like,
Speaker 1: I am looking for it, like it for the show.
Speaker 1: So it'll it'll appear.
Speaker 2: When it's meant too. Yeah, whenever, whenever I organize my garage.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, be patient, be patient.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh my goodness. If they did a reboot of
Speaker 1: this film, okay in twenty twenty five, who should be
Speaker 1: who would be in it? And we don't have to
Speaker 1: go like all of the characters necessarily, right? But I
Speaker 1: can't cast everybody? Yeah yeah, but like who would be
Speaker 1: who'd be Sammy? Oh? Who'd be they? You I put?
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't cast.
Speaker 2: I did not cast Tilly. I can't really imagine anybody
Speaker 2: but myself. But uh no, I put Matthew Morrison as
Speaker 2: the coach recruiter.
Speaker 1: He's kind of because he kind of he also for sure,
Speaker 1: yeah you can do that. Well.
Speaker 2: The actor Andrew Stevens, the actual actor, he he was
Speaker 2: kind of like, I don't know if he was smarmy
Speaker 2: or just kind of like he was too good looking
Speaker 2: to be buying the I'm like, he's got to be
Speaker 2: in front of the camera. He's kind of suave, he's
Speaker 2: got his hair is perfectly quaffed, and he romances do
Speaker 2: you wall of Stone?
Speaker 1: Well that was That's the thing why he's probably writing
Speaker 1: and directing and producing and is gripping his own movie
Speaker 1: because he's like, I should be in front. No no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. No offense to Andrew Stevens if you're out there, fabulous.
Speaker 1: We were all this is what we do as filmmakers.
Speaker 1: You write and you're like, I'm putting myself and everything.
Speaker 1: No shame like that, but yeah, that's right, respect because
Speaker 1: that's what we do. But but yeah, it's definitely like
Speaker 1: you're like, ah, oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Matthew Morrison, I don't know why I picked him. It
Speaker 2: was a little harder for Okay, so for the main family,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with uh, and again, I don't know
Speaker 2: child actors of twenty twenty five, because so I have.
Speaker 2: I'm picking the child actors that I'm with because those
Speaker 2: are the ones that I'm aware of, So right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: The main actress in that girl Lele Gabrielle Nevea. She'd
Speaker 2: be a perfect Tilly. I would think she's she's a
Speaker 2: good kid, she's a good sibling, but she kind of
Speaker 2: can harass her little brother a little bit.
Speaker 1: I just think she'd be perfect.
Speaker 2: And the Andrew Keagan character would be Elijah Cooper, who
Speaker 2: was kind of her little like a love interest or whatever.
Speaker 1: In that.
Speaker 2: They were great actors, great kids, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it'll be perfect in this role. So I have passed
Speaker 2: them and the mom. The mom was tough for me too.
Speaker 2: I picked one of the Maori sisters, Mowery's sisters, Tia
Speaker 2: or Tamara. Either one would have been great, but I
Speaker 2: see them as teenagers. It's hard to imagine them as moms,
Speaker 2: even though they play moms all the time now. But
Speaker 2: I think they would be good as the Dee waller
Speaker 2: Stone emotional mother who's under a lot of stress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, why not? I like that?
Speaker 2: And then for the boy. I struggled with the boy. Okay,
Speaker 2: the little kid from Young Sheldon Ian Armitage. I kept
Speaker 2: picturing him, although I don't know if that's quite right
Speaker 2: because he's so buttoned up in Young Sheldon. But he's
Speaker 2: a good actor, so I think the precociousness of.
Speaker 1: Character of Sammy absolutely and then they kind of looked
Speaker 1: similar you young boy with yeah, yeah, that's exactly what
Speaker 1: I was saying. I was like, oh, the kid from
Speaker 1: Young Sheldon because I could sort of like the haircut
Speaker 1: and the facial features around fatally, and then I, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't really recast like a lot of it because
Speaker 1: I was like, I want to get your opinion.
Speaker 2: That's that's all the recasting that I did. I couldn't
Speaker 2: think of.
Speaker 1: What about the skateboard? Who would you cast as well? Skateboard?
Speaker 1: It would be the voice of this the Zeno or
Speaker 1: whatever cast.
Speaker 2: I would cast Michael J. Fox's skateboard from the back
Speaker 2: of the Future movies as the talking skateboard and then
Speaker 2: perfect as Xano Xano Xana do Xeno.
Speaker 1: Zeno not Xenu scientologists. Uh what was the name of
Speaker 1: the crew? Okay, uh Zeno Zeno? He weird accent. I
Speaker 1: would cast what was it? Was it Voltaire?
Speaker 2: No? What was the name in big the the mechanical
Speaker 2: weird fortune teller dude?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what? No? Yeah, what am I thinking of? Yeah? Voultron, No,
Speaker 1: that's Ultron Zultron, Ultron.
Speaker 2: Brain fog Zoltar, So Zoltar would be the zand guy
Speaker 2: and then Zeno Guy Zeno.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is it just because it feels a
Speaker 1: little type casting. It's a stretch.
Speaker 2: It's a stretch, but it still has that like magical
Speaker 2: mystical quality where he can make things happen.
Speaker 1: So you'd replace the human man with a with an animatronic.
Speaker 2: Uh, this is my this is my.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like that. That's good. That's basically what's happening
Speaker 1: now in the business.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's how I would race It's my it's
Speaker 2: my movie twenty twenty five. I am going to recast
Speaker 2: these are the people or animatronics that I am.
Speaker 1: What's happening? Yes? Love it? There you go, I love it.
Speaker 2: It doesn't get better than that, people.
Speaker 1: It really doesn't. So let's wrap it up with this.
Speaker 1: Since this is a maxim enisode, which we knew it
Speaker 1: was episode. This is not this is not a minisode.
Speaker 1: This isn't well, it's a maximnisode, which means it's the
Speaker 1: same length usually as a Sharer episode. But we're not
Speaker 1: calling it that. Uh, but we will wrap it up.
Speaker 1: On a scale of one to ten. What would you
Speaker 1: the Levist movie? Yes, I'm biased, I don't care. I'm
Speaker 1: giving it at eleven. It's everything you want in a
Speaker 1: nineties movie, even the bad parts. It's everything you want
Speaker 1: and things you know you didn't even know you wanted.
Speaker 1: The stunt doubles that are twice the size of the
Speaker 1: actors and twice the age, that's what we didn't even
Speaker 1: bring them up. I've been talking an hour and we
Speaker 1: didn't talk about the shape shifting stunt doubles that went
Speaker 1: from children to adult sized and then back to Joel.
Speaker 2: And probably thirty five years old playing an eight year
Speaker 2: old playing a thirteen year old.
Speaker 1: Right, and you were like, is that a man? And
Speaker 1: then yeah, and then he'd like land it. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: just like one little stunt or one scene.
Speaker 2: It's the whole freaking movie, the tournament. It's a lot,
Speaker 2: so it's very obvious.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that is also where I give it.
Speaker 2: It's great because of just the ridiculousness of the stunt
Speaker 2: casting there.
Speaker 1: I mean, the kid hangs from the back of a
Speaker 1: police car. He flies to the shrine auditorium terrifyingly high.
Speaker 1: By the way, he's handling that super well, like if
Speaker 1: you were in a hot air balloon, you'd be freaking out,
Speaker 1: and he's just on a skateboard that's flying. It's very brave,
Speaker 1: very very brave, and also has great timing. It makes
Speaker 1: it to the tournament in time. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I am giving it a ten. I'm giving it a
Speaker 1: ten on because I was in it, your friend, your
Speaker 1: friend of a million years, because I well, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, because I am also biased in that I
Speaker 1: love how much you love it, and and I also
Speaker 1: again loved seeing you as something other than Kimmy. It
Speaker 1: was fun. I always like seeing you when you are
Speaker 1: on you know, when you were on that girlele, it
Speaker 1: was like, so fun to see you as a different character.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I ten out of ten. You guys, go
Speaker 1: watch this on YouTube. I'm not going to be disappointed
Speaker 1: even if you you know, and I don't care if
Speaker 1: you want to watch it like on double speed. Fine, fine,
Speaker 1: that's okay. Skip you know what, skip through all of
Speaker 1: the credits, which I tried to do several times, and
Speaker 1: it just kept skipping to the next video and then
Speaker 1: I had to go back, and then it kept starting
Speaker 1: me over again. So I really watched the first like
Speaker 1: thirty seconds of this movie multiple times. That's what it
Speaker 1: made an impression on you. Yeah, Jason, but let me
Speaker 1: tell you, go watch it. Go go support ab in
