Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us on our park
Speaker 1: Hopper episode.
Speaker 2: We of course just watched The Leftovers and now we
Speaker 2: get to speak to the amazing Andrea Barber.
Speaker 1: Can't wait, Hi, how are you?
Speaker 3: I'm great. I'm so excited for this.
Speaker 4: I am so excited to see Will and to meet
Speaker 4: Sabrina and to talk about this wonderful movie.
Speaker 2: We just did our rewatch of the nineteen eighty six
Speaker 2: John Denver film The Leftovers, and what a cast, right.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Everybody in it, like everybody in it went on to
Speaker 2: do was either huge in television or went on to
Speaker 2: be huge in television.
Speaker 1: Basically the entire cast.
Speaker 4: It was like a training ground for like future child
Speaker 4: stars and like big actor names.
Speaker 3: It was great, you know it was.
Speaker 4: And we had no idea at the time, Like I
Speaker 4: had no idea who these people were, you know, like
Speaker 4: Jaliel wasn't even Rkle yet, Like we went on to
Speaker 4: be the annoying neighbors on our respective sitcoms.
Speaker 3: So great, so cool.
Speaker 1: So when was the when was the first time you
Speaker 1: ever heard about The Leftovers? Anything about it? But I
Speaker 1: mean regular audition, like what what happened?
Speaker 4: It was just a normal audition, and I wish I
Speaker 4: remembered enough to tell you about it. But as you know,
Speaker 4: as a child actor, you go on so many auditions
Speaker 4: they blend together.
Speaker 3: And I was nine that year.
Speaker 5: Okay, that was I was wondering, how well you look
Speaker 5: a lot younger than nine, and I feel they play
Speaker 5: your character pretty young, you know, as far as what
Speaker 5: you're doing, and I mean, you're this next medical genius obviously, right.
Speaker 3: With your a surgeon in training. It was good that
Speaker 3: it was younger, because it's a little bit older might
Speaker 3: have been creepy.
Speaker 2: That's one of the questions we were asking, is it
Speaker 2: a surgeon in training or a sociopath in training?
Speaker 1: We're not entirely sure which one it was.
Speaker 4: She seemed to get a lot of joy out of
Speaker 4: those amputations. I'm just saying, removal of brain lobotomies like
Speaker 4: she did it all that is just a very talented surgeon, nurse, sociopath,
Speaker 4: all of the things.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, While we had some issues with some of the
Speaker 2: story because well it just there was some holes in
Speaker 2: some of the story. Stuff like poor John Denver ended
Speaker 2: up getting arrested for going to the to the loan office.
Speaker 4: All he did was drop a brain, right, like, that's
Speaker 4: not a crime. No, no, get arrested for dropping a brain. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and then wearing a fake.
Speaker 2: Mustache and then he's in a fake mustache. He literally
Speaker 2: gets arrested. But the but the cast was just so good.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the first time getting to meet everybody else?
Speaker 4: I remember being on Locate and that big house that wonderful.
Speaker 3: I mean, this was just like mecca for a kid.
Speaker 4: It was so fun being on this set with all
Speaker 4: these other kids and these cool like gadgets and all
Speaker 4: the different hobbies like the inventions and confetti that blows
Speaker 4: out of the front of the house. Like it was
Speaker 4: just so fun. And I remember, I don't remember meeting people,
Speaker 4: but I just remember hanging out with the kids having
Speaker 4: a great time. John Denver was lovely.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to ask.
Speaker 4: Yes, he's as wonderful as you would hope he would be.
Speaker 4: He was just so kind. He's got those eyes like
Speaker 4: those puppy dogs. He's sort of gold retriever, Like, he's
Speaker 4: so nice and he just wants to be around people
Speaker 4: and hang out with the God.
Speaker 3: He was very relatable, was he.
Speaker 5: I know a lot of times throughout you know, being
Speaker 5: being young on set and you've got somebody who's just
Speaker 5: giant like that, when you're around them, you sort of
Speaker 5: want to listen and hear because they kind of just
Speaker 5: spread the knowledge, you know, they just are like giving
Speaker 5: passing on things to the next generation coming up.
Speaker 3: Was he like that?
Speaker 4: No? I didn't. I okay, being nine years old, I
Speaker 4: really had that clue. Like I had no idea I
Speaker 4: was working with John I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's sing like he's got a guitar.
Speaker 4: But I didn't understand that this was like the John
Speaker 4: da and Cindy Williams too. I'm like I had no
Speaker 4: clue of her star status as well.
Speaker 3: I was pretty oblivious at.
Speaker 4: That time in my life. So he was more like
Speaker 4: being playful with the kids. He wouldn't like impart knowledge.
Speaker 4: But you know who was really good about like either
Speaker 4: acting I'm not acting advice, but just little tips was Pamela.
Speaker 3: Who played Jess or Jesse.
Speaker 4: She played like the older sister and I just thought
Speaker 4: the world of her, Like she was so nice, so
Speaker 4: sisterly and just she was like the little mother hen
Speaker 4: that just took us under her wings and was just like, okay,
Speaker 4: you know, maybe you want to like cheat out a
Speaker 4: little bit or look, you know, just like technical stuff
Speaker 4: about acting.
Speaker 3: And she was just lovely. How old was she? Do
Speaker 3: you think? I know you were nine. It's kind of hard.
Speaker 3: She's a little older.
Speaker 4: I want to say she was older, an older teen,
Speaker 4: like she was probably eighteen or nineteen playing playing a
Speaker 4: little bit younger.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Wow, So yeah, she was definitely older than the rest
Speaker 4: of the cast. She was the big sister.
Speaker 1: I've worked with her a bunch. She's she's a huge
Speaker 1: voiceover actor.
Speaker 3: Oh cool, Oh no way.
Speaker 1: So you know, being in the booth with Pam is
Speaker 1: she's a force to be reckoned with, which is she
Speaker 1: is pretty impressive. You said you're on location. Where did
Speaker 1: you shoot?
Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 4: It was somewhere outside of la like probably Seem Valley
Speaker 4: or just somewhere where we had a lot of land
Speaker 4: at a big house and we were just there the
Speaker 4: whole time. And then just a couple of other shoots,
Speaker 4: like the the bicycle scenes driving, like the nighttime shoots
Speaker 4: driving the bicycles.
Speaker 3: So I don't know, I can't. I wish.
Speaker 4: I wish my mother was alive and I could ask
Speaker 4: for like Mom, where did we shoot that, But yeah,
Speaker 4: so it was not La proper, but it was somewhere
Speaker 4: on the outskirts where we had a little more space.
Speaker 3: Right, but somewhere in California at least close to La. Yeah,
Speaker 3: close to La. Have you watched it lately at all?
Speaker 3: I watched it, yes, last night.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 4: And as soon as I thought I thought I had
Speaker 4: never I thought I had only seen it like once,
Speaker 4: maybe twice, But as soon as that opening song came on,
Speaker 4: I was like, I had like floods of memories coming back.
Speaker 3: I watched this incessantly as a kid. I was obsessed.
Speaker 4: I watched it over and over and as soon as
Speaker 4: the music started playing, I was like I was saying,
Speaker 4: the lines was like embedded into my memory.
Speaker 3: I love that movie.
Speaker 4: It was just such a cool movie to watch as
Speaker 4: a kid, and it was fun to watch as an adult.
Speaker 4: To him, like, they don't make movies like this at
Speaker 4: Like the eighties movies were the best.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean you think of all the inventions, like you said,
Speaker 5: the things that like kids wish they could create at
Speaker 5: their own house, like a competti cannon.
Speaker 3: Just just disrupt for no reason. Who would care?
Speaker 5: As soon as they like did the doorbell or whatever
Speaker 5: the thing that was above the door.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I want to get one of the counter see
Speaker 4: how many people come.
Speaker 2: So that's one of the problems that we often encounter, though,
Speaker 2: is that we're watching these movies. I'm watching them usually
Speaker 2: for the first time. Sabrina's seen some of them, but
Speaker 2: we're watching them as adults. So I'm trying to remind myself,
Speaker 2: you're watching movie. You're supposed to watch them as if
Speaker 2: you were a kid. Yeah, because they're because like the
Speaker 2: things going through my head when I watched the movie,
Speaker 2: which I enjoyed again I thought the cast was phenomenal,
Speaker 2: was like, where's Cindy Williams baby?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the baby that was left all right.
Speaker 1: Leaves the kid alone.
Speaker 2: There's so much breaking and entering in this movie. It's
Speaker 2: also why not sell the huge house and get a
Speaker 2: smaller house where you can adopt all the kids? Then like,
Speaker 2: this is where my head goes.
Speaker 1: I go to.
Speaker 2: Everyone, I'm going to like these are this is an
Speaker 2: orphanage where every kid's got a sweet It's like these
Speaker 2: huge rooms that everybody's gone.
Speaker 3: They are really too critical. You grew up in sitcom
Speaker 3: land you. I know you have to suspend belief.
Speaker 1: That's my problem.
Speaker 3: I can't we do a sitcom. Kids.
Speaker 2: We grew up just being like work, sitting there yelling
Speaker 2: at the screen, going why are you arresting this man?
Speaker 1: He's in a bank, What did he do?
Speaker 3: Why are you arresting He can't spell? He's not even
Speaker 3: sending her to school.
Speaker 1: I know that.
Speaker 4: School.
Speaker 1: Did the kids go to school?
Speaker 4: They never mentioned that, Oh, you're right, they don't they
Speaker 4: go back to school. Maybe we were home schooled, or
Speaker 4: maybe there was no schooling. I was just say, kids,
Speaker 4: go find your own adventures.
Speaker 2: This is why the government is trying to take you
Speaker 2: away from John Denver.
Speaker 1: This is the problems I had. Yes.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: The other thing that was amazing was so what you
Speaker 2: talked about the eighties movies being great, because they are.
Speaker 2: This was kind of one of those movies that what
Speaker 2: we talked about a bit was they do They did
Speaker 2: these in the eighties where they would take big television
Speaker 2: stars and put them all together with other big.
Speaker 1: Television stars and put to a movie. So it was
Speaker 1: you know, Michael J. Fox was them for doing these,
Speaker 1: and the Fas of Life women were famous for doing these,
Speaker 1: and this seemed like almost kind of the start of that.
Speaker 1: But with people, they didn't even know we're going to
Speaker 1: be huge TV stars at the time.
Speaker 3: So did they get in there? I mean that casting
Speaker 3: director is right, the insane they are. I was blown away.
Speaker 4: I was blown away reading the cast list again last night.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh yeah, oh oh yeah, these people now, yes,
Speaker 4: I had no clue who they were at the time.
Speaker 3: And we weren't like we were. We were kid actors.
Speaker 3: We've done a thing, you.
Speaker 4: Know, guest appearances here and there, a soap opera for
Speaker 4: a while.
Speaker 3: But we weren't.
Speaker 4: We weren't like big stars, you know, we hadn't hit
Speaker 4: it big yet. So yeah, it was it was a
Speaker 4: training ground. It was like boot camp for for child actors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were gonna say you were on a soap
Speaker 2: opera for a while. Didn't you do like a ton
Speaker 2: of episodes of a soap opera?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, three and a half years. I did a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's for a while. You're like, I was on
Speaker 1: a soap opera for it was like a thousand episodes.
Speaker 5: But on a soap opera there's not very many kids.
Speaker 5: So was this kind of your first job being around
Speaker 5: a big cast with kids.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's a good point, probably because yeah, there
Speaker 4: weren't other There weren't a whole lot of maybe a
Speaker 4: couple of babies on days of our lives.
Speaker 3: But I was like the kid.
Speaker 4: I was Carrie Brady, So I was the kid representative
Speaker 4: until they decided to age my character and become a
Speaker 4: teenager overnight like they do.
Speaker 3: So yeah, this probably was aside from a.
Speaker 4: Few commercials, you know, I was doing like Barbie commercials
Speaker 4: and McDonald's commercials, like like one other friend. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: only one or two days, but this was like a
Speaker 4: solid month with all these other kids, which was so fun. Fun,
Speaker 4: you know, we did school together and the trailers we
Speaker 4: would hang out. I had a little crush on Douglas Emerson.
Speaker 2: Which one was Douglas Emerson? Was he one of the
Speaker 2: He was the gardener, the gardener twin right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was the gardener with the tomato face. Yeah,
Speaker 4: well I can remember his name, Carry I think was
Speaker 4: his name.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought he was so cute and it was.
Speaker 3: It was great.
Speaker 4: There's nothing like being on a that with ki built
Speaker 4: in friends and nothing better than that.
Speaker 3: It was a blast.
Speaker 2: So you do you have any do you have any
Speaker 2: specific memories of shooting? I mean, I know, again, when
Speaker 2: you're asking, it's like, do you have any specific memories
Speaker 2: of being nine? Is kind of what you're asking people,
Speaker 2: right right, I mean, do you remember actually shooting the film?
Speaker 3: I do, surprisingly, yes, I do.
Speaker 4: I was a little more cognizant at nine than I
Speaker 4: was at six years old, So yeah, the things that
Speaker 4: stand out. One thing in particular that stands out. So
Speaker 4: there's a couple of scenes where I had to cry,
Speaker 4: where it's you know, I'm being great, the adoptive parents
Speaker 4: are taking me away and I'm very upset about it,
Speaker 4: and I remember they spent a long time here in
Speaker 4: makeup or makeup. I guess they were like putting vasileine
Speaker 4: on my face and trying to do the drops and stuff.
Speaker 4: And finally my dad walked up and he's like, you know,
Speaker 4: she can cry on cue, so just let let her
Speaker 4: do it. And they're like, you didn't tell us that, Andrew,
Speaker 4: And I'm like, we you didn't ask Like he's just
Speaker 4: cry on your own and I'm like okay, because I
Speaker 4: had done that on a soap opera when Roman Brady
Speaker 4: was kidnapped and then killed.
Speaker 3: By Stefano Damara, and then I had, you know, was
Speaker 3: in a car.
Speaker 1: That's right, Stefano killed Roman, That's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I had, I had learned how to cry
Speaker 4: on command during my days of our lives days. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and so I you know, it's that's you. Just I
Speaker 4: don't and I don't remember how I did that at
Speaker 4: nine years old. Like it's as an adult you can
Speaker 4: tap into some memories or some experience that you had
Speaker 4: to draw upon to get that emotion out. But as
Speaker 4: a nine year old, I think I was just a
Speaker 4: big EmPATH. And so I would just put myself in
Speaker 4: those shoes and just be like, yeah, this is really sad,
Speaker 4: Like she's leaving the only family she's known to go
Speaker 4: with these mean strangers that don't really care about her.
Speaker 1: Mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 3: They were not.
Speaker 2: Lost and child of their own and wanted to adopt
Speaker 2: a little girl.
Speaker 1: How were they the mean?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: I was watching them like, they're not mean.
Speaker 4: Okay, they're not mean, but they were not child orient
Speaker 4: They did not know how to relate to the kids.
Speaker 3: No, they did not.
Speaker 4: They didn't foster creativity. They were just like, why is
Speaker 4: there a snake in here? That seemed like it was
Speaker 4: going to be a very boring life.
Speaker 2: Maybe the kids would have gone to school and learned
Speaker 2: how to spell if they were they were with the
Speaker 2: nice kid.
Speaker 3: What's more important learning how to spell?
Speaker 4: Being happy, you know, and getting to amputate your doll's legs,
Speaker 4: Like yeah, priorities will with a saw.
Speaker 1: Oh, I've got it.
Speaker 2: I've got to start getting back into the watching as
Speaker 2: a kid, watch as a kid, will watch as a kid.
Speaker 1: Speaking of things I love to watch.
Speaker 2: We talked about this before, but you were at Bowen
Speaker 2: Hope's wedding, weren't you.
Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, I was a flower girl every so you
Speaker 4: were big days of our life.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're a fan of everything.
Speaker 1: I think, never seen it, no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Yes, I went through a phase where for some reason,
Speaker 2: my brother and I would just and it was like
Speaker 2: hey man, bow and Hopes it was.
Speaker 1: It was just the weirdest thing.
Speaker 4: We were Well, yeah, that was the wedding of the century.
Speaker 1: It was the wedding of the century.
Speaker 3: It was a huge deal.
Speaker 4: We shot that at that big church down by the
Speaker 4: Hollywood Bowl, Like, oh, yeah, I can't tell you to
Speaker 4: the corner there, Yeah, the corner where like it curves
Speaker 4: around and we shot in that big church right there.
Speaker 4: It was a huge day. We were just I think
Speaker 4: it was like a two day shoot. It was it's important,
Speaker 4: so long, hope we're getting married and hope, right, come on.
Speaker 4: I was just excited to wear a pink dress.
Speaker 3: That was what was exciting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got to wear like a flower girl for
Speaker 5: someone's actual wedding.
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, I've been. I've been.
Speaker 4: I've had many experiences being I'm the youngest girl, I'm the.
Speaker 3: Youngest in my family. I'm the only girl. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I was. I was the resident flower girl for all
Speaker 3: the family. You're like sixteen year old flower girl. That's cute.
Speaker 2: I was fine with everything until it really got into
Speaker 2: patching Kayla, and then that.
Speaker 1: Was it was like there was nuts by that point.
Speaker 3: By that point, it was just off the rails off.
Speaker 1: At one point got amnesia and didn't even remember patch was.
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't.
Speaker 3: I can't say that's just a Tuesday on a soap O.
Speaker 1: Right, I can't bring it back. I can't bring it back.
Speaker 1: How long? So was this your first film?
Speaker 4: I believe so until then I had just done like again,
Speaker 4: guest appearances on TV shows. So this must have been
Speaker 4: my first film, and since it was before Full House, yeah,
Speaker 4: this was right, But this was like a year before
Speaker 4: Full House, so yeah it was. It felt very comfortable
Speaker 4: for me and and I don't feel comfortable with single
Speaker 4: cam now because now when you grow up on a
Speaker 4: sitcom and do multiicam, you're just like you when you
Speaker 4: turn to single cam, you're just like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: this is so inefficient, Like it takes way too much time.
Speaker 4: It's all about the technical It's all about the camera
Speaker 4: and the lighting, average coverage, like let me just act.
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's like no rehearsal, there's no whatever, you know,
Speaker 4: It's all about the camera. So yeah, I'm glad that
Speaker 4: I did leftovers before Full House because I might not
Speaker 4: have been so agreeable or you know, I was. I
Speaker 4: didn't know any better, so I didn't know that. Yeah
Speaker 4: it takes hours and hours to do one scene, to.
Speaker 3: Do like two pages. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: So yeah, So to answer your question, yes, I do
Speaker 4: believe this was my first movie. I did more later
Speaker 4: on as a teenager, right, but yeah, this was the
Speaker 4: first one.
Speaker 1: So then a year later Full House happens and then
Speaker 1: everything changes, of course.
Speaker 4: But everything, Yeah, yeah, everything, and then it all goes
Speaker 4: downhill from there.
Speaker 2: So I'm still so worried about Cindy William's baby. I
Speaker 2: don't even want to get into that at this point.
Speaker 3: Because she just, yeah, why did they need the baby?
Speaker 3: Even I don't, I guess to I guess.
Speaker 4: Because she needed a place to live. It was more critical,
Speaker 4: right because she had a baby, right, because I'm kind
Speaker 4: of like, did they even need the baby?
Speaker 5: I'm the baby was sort of the selling point for
Speaker 5: Max to allow this to happen, because, if you think
Speaker 5: about it, he comes home and this stranger, strange lady.
Speaker 3: House with you guys, at least the baby softens the deal.
Speaker 5: And what's happening, Okay, this is like an adult woman
Speaker 5: sitting just like it could have gotten weird.
Speaker 1: You're also assuming it's her baby.
Speaker 4: Well, she seems in like a basket. She's not even
Speaker 4: in like a little carrier or a stroller.
Speaker 5: I had to ask will Now, I wasn't around like
Speaker 5: a ton during the eighties enough to remember a whole lot,
Speaker 5: and I was saying, was that normal that women carries.
Speaker 2: She asked me, if that's normally that the women just
Speaker 2: in the eighties carry kids in baskets.
Speaker 3: Like a basket with the baby.
Speaker 5: It looks like there was supposed to be bread in
Speaker 5: there or something, or is that normal? There's no car
Speaker 5: seat like buckle in case the baby. I mean, my
Speaker 5: kids were both like flipping out of everything. There's no
Speaker 5: way I could have helped handled both of them in just.
Speaker 1: A solid basket. You're fine. It was the eighties, it's
Speaker 1: no problem.
Speaker 4: I feel like, I don't don't know if that was normal,
Speaker 4: but it felt really native.
Speaker 3: Nobody questioned it.
Speaker 4: You know, it's not like we were on a budget
Speaker 4: and couldn't afford a stroller. Yeah, all the budget went
Speaker 4: to the inventions in the attic. Maybe, so maybe that's
Speaker 4: why which were so cool?
Speaker 3: Were they so cool?
Speaker 5: I did think at the end, I asked Will when
Speaker 5: it came to the end with the cake, I go,
Speaker 5: did you know something was going to happen with the cake?
Speaker 5: He had done some kind and it's like, yeah, but
Speaker 5: this is a question I wanted to know when you
Speaker 5: guys did that filming. His reaction looked like he was
Speaker 5: shocked that that cake flew, and not just because he
Speaker 5: was a great actor, I'm sure, but I mean, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: it looked like I told him it looked like it
Speaker 5: almost maybe they didn't rehearse it, and it was the
Speaker 5: first time he had actually gotten the cake just like
Speaker 5: slammed in his face because we both thought the.
Speaker 3: Cake was gonna splash you guys.
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna slash everybody else.
Speaker 4: I thought it was going to go to John Denver.
Speaker 4: That's what I was expecting. Yeah, when and it hit
Speaker 4: the kid's face and said, I was like, oh, I
Speaker 4: don't remember that. Oh dang to know to John like
Speaker 4: across the room. Yes, I mean, he was so shocked,
Speaker 4: and it might have been because it hurt.
Speaker 3: I was convinced. I don't know, but that he had
Speaker 3: literal shock about Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't either he wasn't expecting it or he just
Speaker 4: didn't he was not a fan, like he just did
Speaker 4: not like that kind of stunt.
Speaker 3: And it's like, Okay, do you.
Speaker 1: Want to know how how long ago the eighties seemed?
Speaker 1: Is that Sabrina asked me, no, totally honestly, If a
Speaker 1: newspaper cannon on the front of a bike was a
Speaker 1: normal thing in the eighties.
Speaker 3: It's a great invention.
Speaker 2: What she's like, I just not maybe everybody had that
Speaker 2: in the eighties or something like that.
Speaker 5: Like what well, because newspaper, like the newspaper boy or
Speaker 5: girl was not a thing when I was the age
Speaker 5: that you would do. No, by that time, when I
Speaker 5: can remember, you know, six or seven, you know, by
Speaker 5: that time, people were in the cars throwing them out
Speaker 5: the window.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: Were they using cars cannons for the newspapers?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: But that did that thing not look like what you'd
Speaker 5: see at a baseball game a T shirt gun.
Speaker 3: I mean, oh, it does look like that. It looks
Speaker 3: like it could totally have been. I thought it was real.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 3: I don't care to make fun of me about it.
Speaker 3: Now I am homing into it.
Speaker 4: But delivering delivering newspapers on bikes, that was real because
Speaker 4: a little paper route, so you put them in a
Speaker 4: little basket or a satchel on the side and and
Speaker 4: then you just throw them out, So I get the
Speaker 4: cannon was that was?
Speaker 2: That was That's how Kathy Ireland started. Kathy Ireland started
Speaker 2: her entire thing with a paper route. And she's true,
Speaker 2: and she became like a one of the biggest paper
Speaker 2: deliverers of her area and was like one of the
Speaker 2: first girls to do that. Yeah, because like she won
Speaker 2: like awards for delivering papers and now she's like a billionaire,
Speaker 2: so you never know.
Speaker 1: It's true. It's true. She's laughing.
Speaker 5: She thinks, check an award, you're there's an award for
Speaker 5: news sheep or delivery.
Speaker 1: A producer Jensen can back me up. When we interviewed
Speaker 1: her on our show, she was like sent for some
Speaker 1: like award for delivering the most papers or whatever in
Speaker 1: the West Coast or some producer Jensen, Am.
Speaker 3: I wrong because she did it for twenty years.
Speaker 1: No, it's absolutely true that she like won some award
Speaker 1: for most papers delivered or something.
Speaker 3: That did not seem real.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, real, damn it. All right, all right, it's
Speaker 2: as real as the newspaper gun. The next time you
Speaker 2: worked with Jaliel, did you all talk about the movie?
Speaker 3: No, No, not at all.
Speaker 4: That was I don't think I worked with Jiliel, But
Speaker 4: he did a cameo on Full House many many years later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I tramagers.
Speaker 4: Yeah we were teenagers. And I don't think I was
Speaker 4: in that episode, or at least I didn't do scenes
Speaker 4: with him. Juliel his storyline and he.
Speaker 3: Was ourcle too. He was a crossover episode, So.
Speaker 4: His storyline was he was helping Stephanie get used to
Speaker 4: glasses and not be embarrassed to be wearing glasses at school.
Speaker 4: So I don't think I had any scenes with him,
Speaker 4: or I just wasn't in that episode. So no, we've
Speaker 4: Jilliela and I have never talked about Leftovers since Leftovers,
Speaker 4: So that is a long overdue conversation.
Speaker 2: Well, does anybody talk to about it? We do all
Speaker 2: these cons We do all this stuff. Does anybody come
Speaker 2: up to you and they're like, I love the Leftovers?
Speaker 2: Is what we never No one.
Speaker 4: Has ever said that in this the first time, Like
Speaker 4: you guys are the first time that you're like, we
Speaker 4: want to interview about the Leftovers?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, really, but this is great. Nobody nobody has.
Speaker 2: Heard of it and keeps happening that we do. We
Speaker 2: do these kind of dcoms. Some of them get a
Speaker 2: little obscure. We go back a little ways and we'll
Speaker 2: talk to people who were like we had Robin Lively
Speaker 2: on We're talking about fuzz Bucket. Oh okay, she was like,
Speaker 2: I have never been at since the day I walked
Speaker 2: off the set, I have not been asked a single
Speaker 2: time about this project, and it seems like we're the
Speaker 2: first ones.
Speaker 3: Yes, same, yeah, No, let's bring it back. Let's bring
Speaker 3: it back. We can't even get it, like we I.
Speaker 4: Watched the YouTube link, but I don't even know if
Speaker 4: it's available on DVD anymore.
Speaker 3: No, I think it's so abstording.
Speaker 1: I think it's the only thing we could find it
Speaker 1: was was Yeah.
Speaker 3: We couldn't find it anywhere else. Okay, so maybe that's
Speaker 3: why it's not a big hit.
Speaker 2: At least it was a good version on YouTube though.
Speaker 2: At least it was you could see it and it
Speaker 2: was I mean, it looked nice and.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty good quality.
Speaker 5: We did see within our everything that our producers gave
Speaker 5: us that they did end up showing it on the
Speaker 5: Disney Channel. It kind of had a tiny bit of
Speaker 5: a resurgence a couple of years later after it prepared.
Speaker 3: Yeah and nineteen yeah and so.
Speaker 5: But at the same time, it just shows you, you know,
Speaker 5: because we also do all the Disney Channel original movies
Speaker 5: in which they play on repeat and really get the audience.
Speaker 5: So I wonder how many times the audience really got
Speaker 5: a chance to fall in love with the movie, you know,
Speaker 5: from nineteen eighty six to when you Know nineteen ninety Little.
Speaker 1: They played ten times in nineteen ninety on Disney Channel.
Speaker 5: Yeah really yeah, wow, that's like once a mon which
Speaker 5: is which is good.
Speaker 3: But at the same.
Speaker 5: Time, it's what they'd seem to have done with these
Speaker 5: movies versus what they do on the channel is just
Speaker 5: so different. They don't replay it, you know, ormark, they
Speaker 5: replay their movies like that's how you really start like
Speaker 5: learning how to like, you know, fall in love with
Speaker 5: the movies over and over again, and you know, especially
Speaker 5: not again it not being on Disney Plus. There's a
Speaker 5: lot of Disney Channel movies that are the newer generations
Speaker 5: are starting to love because they it just pops up
Speaker 5: within their you know.
Speaker 1: Suggest you're watching one and then there's ten other ones
Speaker 1: that pop up on the thing. Wonderful World of Disney
Speaker 1: will have to come back.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll do something with Wonderful World of Disney
Speaker 2: to come back on Disney Plus at some point. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think the rights A lot of the Wonderful World
Speaker 2: of Disney movies are produced by other studios, so the rights.
Speaker 1: Get a little market.
Speaker 3: But there is also I.
Speaker 1: Don't know, if you know this.
Speaker 2: This was also the first movie in ten years that
Speaker 2: brought John Denver back to acting, So he had done
Speaker 2: a number of movies then took a long break, and
Speaker 2: then The Leftovers was the first one to bring him
Speaker 2: back on screen.
Speaker 4: Well I didn't know that. Yeah, Well he didn't miss
Speaker 4: a beat man. He was the perfect character to play Max.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was so good.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 1: The whole cast.
Speaker 3: The whole cast was truly just made this movie look
Speaker 3: like you really were this tight knit family and you
Speaker 3: really loved Max, and the whole cast ensemble just they
Speaker 3: really sold what what it was. The the potholes.
Speaker 5: Happened within the writing that was not you know, things
Speaker 5: that weren't explained, Like at the very end, what happened
Speaker 5: with the rich aunt.
Speaker 3: Oh right, They just don't they don't go back to
Speaker 3: that abruptly.
Speaker 1: She's in the same place with Cindy Williams baby.
Speaker 3: It was they're alone in a room. The baby was
Speaker 3: in the in the kitchen with them. She is there.
Speaker 3: She was okay, okay, so the baby. There was proof
Speaker 3: of life for the baby. Okay, we just didn't know
Speaker 3: where she was when everyone was out of the house.
Speaker 3: Every single person.
Speaker 5: Was sleeping and had no idea that everyone was gone
Speaker 5: all night, all night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got the kids were out all night long.
Speaker 2: They leave and dark and they come back and like
Speaker 2: the break of the outreak gone.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So diving back into the film has
Speaker 1: been a ton of.
Speaker 3: Fun for us, oh man, and hearing.
Speaker 1: You talk about it.
Speaker 2: But you have now, like we do Podmets World, you
Speaker 2: have now your own podcast called how Rue Tennerrito's where
Speaker 2: you are diving in with Jodie Sweeden every week to
Speaker 2: recap Full House. So, yes, what is the biggest thing
Speaker 2: you've learned from going back to the early episodes and
Speaker 2: how much of it do you remember actually doing? Because
Speaker 2: we run into that all the time in point Mets
Speaker 2: wherehere were just going don't remember this, don't remember anything
Speaker 2: about this?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I that was my biggest fear of starting
Speaker 4: this podcast. I was like, am I going to remember
Speaker 4: anything from being that young? But I've learned that as
Speaker 4: I'm watching the episodes, and now we're in season two,
Speaker 4: so I'm like, okay, now I'm like eleven twelve in
Speaker 4: these episodes, so it's starting.
Speaker 3: It jogs memories.
Speaker 4: Watching it does jog some memories, which is great, but
Speaker 4: the most surprising thing is watching the adult storylines now
Speaker 4: as a forty seven year old looking it through through
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty four lens and being like, this is problematic.
Speaker 4: Like Jesse, you know, John Samuels, Jesse, the character of Jesse.
Speaker 3: Was a man whore.
Speaker 4: Like he just was making out in front of all
Speaker 4: the kids. He was making sexual innuendos, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: this is full how Like it took us a season
Speaker 4: to kind of get our sea legs and figure out, Oh,
Speaker 4: this is a family show.
Speaker 3: It's about the kids. You know, the kids are very
Speaker 3: much a big part of this show.
Speaker 4: Whereas you know, previously kids were just like kind of
Speaker 4: the furniture in the background.
Speaker 3: They weren't really they didn't have storylines of their own.
Speaker 4: But quickly our producers realized that, no, the kids are
Speaker 4: really the heart of the show and the family, the
Speaker 4: family unit.
Speaker 3: But yeah, those.
Speaker 4: Early, those early episodes, they were trying to focus on
Speaker 4: the guys and their dating life, and we're just like, no,
Speaker 4: this is guys.
Speaker 1: This is yeah.
Speaker 4: No like shop bringing stop bringing by your flavor of
Speaker 4: the week and making out with her in the Tanner
Speaker 4: living room in front of all the Tanner kids and
Speaker 4: Kimmy Shippler. Yeah, so that was surprising, but it does
Speaker 4: hold up, Like, aside from some of the more scandalous things,
Speaker 4: it does hold up. All of the heart scenes, the lessons,
Speaker 4: the Danny Tanner speeches, all of that does hold up
Speaker 4: thirty thirty five, thirty six years later.
Speaker 3: I'm happy to see that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so funny though, but because we're going through
Speaker 2: exactly the same thing where a we did not appreciate
Speaker 2: how good the adult actors were on our show.
Speaker 1: At the time.
Speaker 2: So you're sitting there watching as an adult, just going like,
Speaker 2: they're amazing. How we missed this, Like just take this
Speaker 2: for granted. Every week and it is you are watching
Speaker 2: more as an adult, which is so interesting because then
Speaker 2: you too gravitate towards the adult performances.
Speaker 1: It's exactly the same thing we're going through.
Speaker 2: Has there been anything that you've really We always talk
Speaker 2: about the our way back machine or a time machine,
Speaker 2: where it's like, Okay, if we could go back, here's
Speaker 2: what we change.
Speaker 1: So what would you have changed about the first season.
Speaker 1: Let's say that you've gone through a full house other
Speaker 1: than just the making out of of the adults, what
Speaker 1: else would you have changed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if there's much else besides the
Speaker 4: making out of the.
Speaker 3: That's a really good question. Nobody asked me that before. Okay,
Speaker 3: what would I change? Jimmy would be I was only
Speaker 3: five episodes of.
Speaker 4: Give Me a Series regular from the very beginning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would definitely do that.
Speaker 4: I don't know if i'd change a whole lot, because
Speaker 4: you have to see the trajectory of Jesse becoming like
Speaker 4: this wild you know, this wild child, this womanizer to
Speaker 4: family man. So now that we're in season two, we're
Speaker 4: seeing that arc and so it's it's satisfying, there's there's
Speaker 4: payoff at the end, and other than that, No, it
Speaker 4: just it took it took some time for us to
Speaker 4: gel as a family and and for that to become
Speaker 4: the central the new list of the show.
Speaker 3: And I think that's okay.
Speaker 4: It's okay that it took time, sure for that to happen,
Speaker 4: you know, it's real. Yeah, you don't want that to
Speaker 4: be instant. So I don't know if there's anything else
Speaker 4: I would change.
Speaker 3: I might.
Speaker 4: I would say my ward with my hair, like I
Speaker 4: would change my But it was it.
Speaker 3: Was the eighties, it was of the time I had terrible.
Speaker 4: I had a mullet, Like I had a mullet at
Speaker 4: the age of eleven. It was like it was it
Speaker 4: looked like a helmet, a mullet helmet.
Speaker 3: It was terrible.
Speaker 4: So I'm like, yeah, I change that, But maybe I
Speaker 4: wouldn't because maybe that was popular in nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think it was.
Speaker 3: What was what was the vibe?
Speaker 5: Like you mentioned you guys as a cast, well, how
Speaker 5: was the dynamic between the adults. Were they very hands
Speaker 5: on or a little stand office at first? Did it
Speaker 5: take a while to to find that chemistry and comfort,
Speaker 5: you know level, Because I think as an adult, I,
Speaker 5: you know, I was always really around majority either older
Speaker 5: people or my age. I didn't work with a lot
Speaker 5: of younger, younger kids, and now being older, thinking of
Speaker 5: working with young kids, it would be like, oh, I
Speaker 5: don't know, are we you know, is this appropriate?
Speaker 3: Like we would just like.
Speaker 5: Constantly be questioning just everything on set, you know, just
Speaker 5: making sure sure it felt good with the younger actors.
Speaker 3: Yeah. We I think we were lucky that we gelled
Speaker 3: right away.
Speaker 4: And you can see it in the pilot, Like you
Speaker 4: can see that chemistry as early as the pilot, and
Speaker 4: I give all the credit to John Stamos, Bob Saggett,
Speaker 4: and Dave Coolier and then later on Lori Lachlan too,
Speaker 4: because they were just they were so hands on, like
Speaker 4: it wasn't like a separation, like, oh, they're the kids
Speaker 4: and then were the adults, Like it was like, no,
Speaker 4: come on, let's hang out on the on the living
Speaker 4: room couch.
Speaker 3: Let's you know.
Speaker 4: John Stamos in particular, he had all these parties and
Speaker 4: like barbecues, and he would say, bring your families, you know,
Speaker 4: And it wasn't just the cast. He'd be like, hey,
Speaker 4: you know, lighting guide, bring your bring your family. And
Speaker 4: he was so down to earth and so welcoming. And
Speaker 4: the guys would bring their moms onto set too, and
Speaker 4: they were some extras back background and some of our
Speaker 4: scenes too, which was great, and our moms too. So
Speaker 4: it was definitely a family affair and that's where that's
Speaker 4: where we learned it. When we went on to do
Speaker 4: Fuller House, Candice, Jody and I we wanted to replicate
Speaker 4: that because that's what they passed down to us. It's
Speaker 4: like passing the torch and we're like, okay, we want
Speaker 4: to recreate that family feel and include the kids and
Speaker 4: and take.
Speaker 3: Them out for ice cream or whatever.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's it's been passed down to multiple generations,
Speaker 4: and I'm so grateful because I and I had no.
Speaker 3: Appreciation for it.
Speaker 4: Like Jody and I've talked about that, we had no
Speaker 4: clue that most sets don't operate like that.
Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly, no idea.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, this is normal, and then you go
Speaker 4: on other sets you're like, oh no, maybe this isn't normal.
Speaker 3: All, even whether your age or not.
Speaker 5: The cast just like splits and everyone goes to their
Speaker 5: own trailers and no one's even hanging out in the cafeteria.
Speaker 5: You know that that can happen a lot too, where
Speaker 5: it's people are there just to work.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh no, we took it a We would have
Speaker 4: cast dinners every Friday before the live show. We would
Speaker 4: go out to CityWalk and go to a restaurant and
Speaker 4: have dinner together.
Speaker 3: And then we'd hang out on.
Speaker 4: The weekends too, like we just couldn't get enough of
Speaker 4: each other. It sounds you'll be saccharine, but it was true.
Speaker 4: Like it's it's very much true.
Speaker 1: That's and it makes for a better product.
Speaker 2: It does what I mean that the shows that have lasted,
Speaker 2: the shows that people continue to talk about today are
Speaker 2: shows where you find the casts were close and the
Speaker 2: sets were We're not turbulent or rockyman.
Speaker 1: Occasionally you'll get that, but you hear about things.
Speaker 2: Even the bigger shows Cheers, Friends, Seinfeld, these were all
Speaker 2: casts that were very close knit, casts that got along
Speaker 2: exceptionally well.
Speaker 1: And it shows, Yeah.
Speaker 4: The audience, the audience isn't stupid and tell they can
Speaker 4: the audience can feel it, they can sense it.
Speaker 1: You can't lie to them.
Speaker 3: You can't lie to them.
Speaker 4: And especially for the family shows where the audience feels
Speaker 4: like an extension of the family, Like people come up
Speaker 4: to me every single day like I feel like we
Speaker 4: grew up together, you know, I feel like you're my child. Yes,
Speaker 4: So they were like an extension of the Tanner family
Speaker 4: and it's like, wow, that's a that's that's a very
Speaker 4: powerful thing. Like I'm like, wow, I had no idea
Speaker 4: we had that much impact. And I'm glad it was
Speaker 4: positive too. It turned out well.
Speaker 5: Right with having so many you know, especially young girls
Speaker 5: and you guys all had different things that people could
Speaker 5: gravitate towards within the storyline. You know, I can totally
Speaker 5: understand what you know, DJ's going through on this episode.
Speaker 5: That's how I feel, you know, things like that, you know,
Speaker 5: her having a boyfriend, all of the stuff that that
Speaker 5: brought you.
Speaker 3: It's just there's so many.
Speaker 5: Things that people could really relate to, and that is
Speaker 5: what makes it so memorable.
Speaker 3: You know, it's.
Speaker 4: True there was there was something for all ages and
Speaker 4: all genders, and you know, from babies to fifty year olds.
Speaker 4: You know, we had the whole they ran the whole gamut.
Speaker 1: So and they don't do that anymore. They don't do
Speaker 1: that kind of show anymore. Where you've got the parents
Speaker 1: can come in watch the kids, there's something for the parents.
Speaker 2: There's something for the kids. It's either a kid show
Speaker 2: or it's an adult show. And never the Twain shall
Speaker 2: meet anymore. It's such a shame because you really are
Speaker 2: throwing an entire genre of entertainment away where it was
Speaker 2: a time where.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it was. Parents.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why the rewatch is so strange, because exactly
Speaker 2: what you said about your watching now the adult performances,
Speaker 2: and so are we, and we're watching the things that
Speaker 2: went over our.
Speaker 1: Head, the games that you had no idea.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that was actually pretty racy, like
Speaker 2: you because you wouldn't think about it as a kid,
Speaker 2: And that's exactly why they did it.
Speaker 1: It was it was it was really fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't know about you, but we would all,
Speaker 4: like Jodi and I, we would always laugh at the
Speaker 4: jokes even though we didn't get them.
Speaker 3: Of course, we wanted to save face and be like, oh,
Speaker 3: it's so.
Speaker 4: Fun and now we're oh, oh, oh understand it.
Speaker 3: Oh okay.
Speaker 2: So you wouldn't go back and necessary change anything. Is
Speaker 2: there anything that makes you cringe thinking about what's coming up? Like,
Speaker 2: are there are episodes coming up where you're like, ooh,
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a tough watch.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, because well, okay, so DJ and Kimmy are Yeah,
Speaker 4: we're almost at the end of season two, so we're
Speaker 4: entering season three. So I think this is when DJ
Speaker 4: and Kimmy start middle school. So there's all like, there's
Speaker 4: there's some makeout parties, there is. Yeah, first kiss, like
Speaker 4: I let my first kiss on screen was my first
Speaker 4: kiss in.
Speaker 3: Real life at age thirteen.
Speaker 4: Fine, and all I think for all of us too,
Speaker 4: for Candice and Jodie, like that was their first kisses.
Speaker 1: Ever too, was the actor who was your first kids with.
Speaker 3: I don't know the actor's name, but I know his character.
Speaker 3: And Jake Bitterman.
Speaker 1: This is his name, Bitterman. Okay, I gotta find out
Speaker 1: who that is.
Speaker 4: He was fine, he was fine, but I was just
Speaker 4: so grossed, Like I was not really into boys that
Speaker 4: I don't know. I just I was just my parent, like,
Speaker 4: not only two hundred strangers in the audience, but my
Speaker 4: pain parents were there too, And I was so self conscious.
Speaker 4: I was so self conscious. And then there's another there's
Speaker 4: another episode coming up. I think it's the first day
Speaker 4: of junior high and Kimmy. Kimmy decides she needs to
Speaker 4: dress like a little sexier, you know, she doesn't want
Speaker 4: to be wearing her overalls. She wants to be wearing
Speaker 4: a little like, you know, off the shoulder number. And
Speaker 4: then it turns out she's wearing falsies, and as a
Speaker 4: thirteen year old wearing falsies. And then and then we
Speaker 4: got and then I got notes, so like this is
Speaker 4: the producers are like, yeah, we can't really tell that
Speaker 4: the boob the falses aren't big enough, so we need
Speaker 4: to add more like we need to stuff her bra
Speaker 4: and I was just like I wanted to.
Speaker 3: Die, like I wanted to die. Yeah, and they do.
Speaker 2: They just talk about it where we we had that
Speaker 2: all that stuff too, where it's like, no, you're if
Speaker 2: you're kissing or would really like the arm to go
Speaker 2: around there and you're just it's yeah.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of choreography involved.
Speaker 4: There's practical things you have to think about. Christian Christian Guzak.
Speaker 2: Yes, that name, Christian Goozak is the name of the
Speaker 2: your first kiss efvert.
Speaker 3: Oh my god?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is it nice people can google who your first kissing?
Speaker 3: Isn't that weird? So weird? I don't know if that's
Speaker 3: better word.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about that. I should
Speaker 3: we should get we should get that kid.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell Jensen we need to get that kid
Speaker 4: as an adult.
Speaker 3: Now, we should get him.
Speaker 4: On the podcast, you should talk about that first kiss
Speaker 4: because wow, yeah, do you remember?
Speaker 2: Now here's the question, because all actors, young actors go
Speaker 2: through this.
Speaker 1: Did you do it during rehearsal? Did you rehearse the
Speaker 1: kiss or did you just kiss on the day?
Speaker 3: Probably just the day. I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 4: I mean it was a It was not like a
Speaker 4: it was literally like a like like a peck. So
Speaker 4: we probably did because it was just a peck. I
Speaker 4: think we did it in rehearsal. But later on Kimmy
Speaker 4: had a boyfriend and I could I could spend an
Speaker 4: hour talking about the guy. He was just a creep.
Speaker 4: I don't think he went on to do any more TV.
Speaker 4: It was season seven. It was the episode where DJ
Speaker 4: and Steve broke up on a mountain. Let's just say
Speaker 4: there was a warp. He was we were hiking on
Speaker 4: a mountain and he was wearing like tiny little bike
Speaker 4: shorts and they were so tight that he got a note.
Speaker 3: The wardrobe got a note that.
Speaker 4: They were like, we can see everything. He has got
Speaker 4: to put like a longer coat on. It's something. And
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, I don't know, can we get
Speaker 4: some loose sweats?
Speaker 3: Like why is he wearing pikers? And it was just
Speaker 3: so I don't know. He was just very strange and
Speaker 3: so him.
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm not kissing him until the cameras
Speaker 4: are rolling, and the producers were like okay, fine, fine,
Speaker 4: And I was so mortified the whole week that after
Speaker 4: we wrapped that episode. After we wrapped that audience show,
Speaker 4: I went up to my dress scene room and the
Speaker 4: producers had given me like a massive bowl of what
Speaker 4: was it Hershey's kisses and said, here are some kisses
Speaker 4: you'll actually enjoy.
Speaker 3: Thanks for being a good sport. Y.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but as a guy, the only thing going
Speaker 2: through my head is how many actresses went and said
Speaker 2: I Am not kissing him until the day I'm thinking
Speaker 2: in my head.
Speaker 1: Where it's like, oh god, they're probably so.
Speaker 2: I'm not kissing him during rehearsals like oh no, oh, no,
Speaker 2: oh Jesus, thinking my entire dating life on camera now
Speaker 2: so strange different times.
Speaker 3: Like it's different now, like now there's like it's there's.
Speaker 1: More interesting coordinators.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's coordinators, and there's more like consent now people
Speaker 4: the actors talk about it now like, hey, is it
Speaker 4: okay if I put my hand on your on your face?
Speaker 3: Is it okay if I do this?
Speaker 4: So, but when you're seventeen, like, there was just no
Speaker 4: conversation about it. I was mortified and just wanted to
Speaker 4: block it from my mind. Y.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how it was. This is this is the
Speaker 1: person you're kissing this week.
Speaker 3: Yes, go, that's what it was.
Speaker 5: The adults too on set feel how awkward do you feel?
Speaker 5: So I feel They also don't want to like over
Speaker 5: talk about it or over highlight it too. They sort
Speaker 5: of kind of, okay, so this is where you're going
Speaker 5: to stand. Make sure you're open this way, you know,
Speaker 5: And they to me, that's how the first one I
Speaker 5: did was they could feel how much I just wanted
Speaker 5: to get this scene done.
Speaker 3: And mine was one camera one.
Speaker 5: So it was, oh god, and I was just I
Speaker 5: was getting word of irritated because it was just, you know,
Speaker 5: it was just embarrassing.
Speaker 3: It's so weird to sit and walk.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Yeah, I think, well, now, of course
Speaker 4: I prefer the choreography. I prefer talking about it beforehand.
Speaker 4: Maybe that would have helped as a kid instead of
Speaker 4: just trying to ignore that it was going to happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I don't know. I always asked if
Speaker 1: it should be a real I would always say, like,
Speaker 1: do you really want to kiss? Right, I leave it
Speaker 1: in the actress's hands. Do you actually want to kiss?
Speaker 1: Or do you do you want a fake kiss?
Speaker 4: Wait?
Speaker 3: What does that mean? What a kiss?
