35
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,680

36
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: wish ill on anyone, but I was pretty nervous stepping

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: onto the set with the you know, the master and

38
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: legendary Jackie Chan, who's broken like four hundred bones and

39
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: still is walking and has done his own stunts forever

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: is He did a move with with the wonderful Ben

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: Wong who plays the kid in the film, and he

42
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: pulled his shoulder out and he winced and made a

43
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: sound of pain, and I half of my brain was like, wow,

44
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 3: I feel bad, and the other half was like, yes,

45
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: thank you, Like I'm okay, Like you know, he feels

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 3: pain too. He's amazing.

00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: I love this.

48
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 4: I did an interview the other day. I told everyone

49
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: how pleased I was it Jackie Chan felt pain. That's right,

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 4: he's one of us, but he really is. It's really incredible.

51
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: At his age seventy one, he's done everything. I mean,

52
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: he's fallen off buildings, crashed through window. He just you know,

53
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: he's a stuntman early part of his career before he

54
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: became Jackie Chan film star. And he's the first one

55
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: on this he's the youngest kid on the set.

56
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: Wow, he's like he is.

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 3: He's there early, he leaves late. He'll hang lights, he'll

58
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: set the microphone, he'll do whatever he wants. He's he's

59
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: happy in the environment and just loves making movies. And

60
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: I pride myself on that, but he takes it to

61
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: the next level. So between the two of us, it

62
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: was pretty damn fun.

63
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: Have you ever broken a bone on set?

64
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: Not? So I'll leave. That's a Jackie Okay. I've gotten

65
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: like a splinter.

66
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: From the chopping of the wood.

67
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

68
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: Could Jackie Chan kick all of our asses in this room?

69
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: I I think I think it's a pretty good shot.

70
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 3: It's good to know he'd know how to defend himself

71
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: right for sure, as as I'd like to believe I

72
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: would as well.

73
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: How advanced are you in martial arts.

74
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 3: That's gotten I've gotten my black belt took forty one years.

75
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: I mean maybe maybe if I, if I, if I

76
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: didn't stop training somewhere in the late nineties in the

77
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: mid early two thousands, would have gotten it earlier. No,

78
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: let's stunt this stunt guy on Cobra Kai. The stunt guy.

79
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: Let me put it this way. The fight coordinator, Don Lee,

80
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: who's trained in the very classic Ocanaw and Miyagias kind

81
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: of style of karate, was like, dude, you need your

82
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: black belt. You have that, you have all the skills,

83
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: You've done it, you know. And it was just it

84
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: was really cool. I wound up doing it testing for it,

85
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: you got the present did it was a whole ceremonial thing.

86
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: And then when I went up to Karate Kid Legends,

87
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: which was the next day, literally after wrapping Cobra Kai,

88
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, Jackie Chan, I have a

89
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: black belt.

90
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm cool, nice, so you could kick all our asses too.

91
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: It's just like a certificate.

92
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? You have to work area

93
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: or to me a favorite.

94
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 4: This guy's scary, my proser, come kick his ass.

95
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: I have a question about the movie.

96
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: So is it like a Marvel movie where you're supposed

97
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: to stay for the credits because there's like a scene

98
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: that tells us.

99
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: Something very possibly you or very possibly not, but you

100
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 3: should stay.

101
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: You should stick around. Okay, stick around.

102
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: It's always good to stick around with anything that has

103
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: a universe as large as the Karate Kid cinematic universe. Okay, good, By.

104
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: The way, just turning us on, Ralph Mancio was here.

105
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 4: Karate Kid Legends is out today, of course, with Ralph

Speaker 3: Oh.

00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 4: My stars outside the door of the club called Avalon,

129
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: so they all wait in line. Yeah, and then you know,

130
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 4: we were happy helping our friend Wendy Williams get her

131
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: star when she was out there. Hers is right across

132
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,559
Speaker 4: from the Hustler Club.

133
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: Oh so now you can't read too deep on Hollywood Boulevard.

134
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 3: You really can't because you don't have you don't have

135
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: much of a shot of being next to like the Plaza.

136
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 4: Right, Let's talk about raph Let's talk about Hollywood. Let's

137
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: talk about the film industry and making movies. Now compared

138
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 4: to way back in the day, it's a whole different

139
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 4: world now.

140
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 3: It's completely different.

141
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: It really is.

142
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 3: You know, there's such studio and listen, there's always studio

143
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: fingerprints on everything. But now that opening weekend and I'm

144
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: you know, we're at it right now. For Karate Kid Legends,

145
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: it's about that opening. It's so that word of mouth

146
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: sleeper that kind of builds. Those are really rare. It's

147
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: it's about you know, grabbing that real estate before the

148
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: competition does, and keeping those kids from looking at their

149
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 3: phones or are grabbing their remotes. It's you know, so

150
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: it's it's challenging, and you and the editorial aspect of it.

151
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 3: You know, you feel like you're cutting films for the

152
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: TikTok you know.

153
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: Where you are.

154
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, in part I mean, but also we were talking

155
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: about social media. Social media of course not a thing

156
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: back in that day when Karate Kid first came out.

157
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Karate Kid in that time in nineteen eighty four,

158
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: you either you know, you you went to the beach

159
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: or you saw a movie. You know that was summer.

160
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: Right Now that there's so much content, there's so many

161
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: things that that that distract. But in fairness, you know,

162
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: with with Karate Kid Legends, since it's you know, topical

163
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: and it's now there is an element that that is

164
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: very entertaining for the next generation that still still ties

165
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: into all the themes from that original film and they

166
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: and the connective tissue of that franchise. And that's something

167
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: I've fought for throughout, you know, to make sure we

168
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: still try to land those those themes. Fish out of Water,

169
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: a kid overcoming obstacles, mentorship, single parenting, you know, dealing

170
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: with loss in the case of the original film, Daniel

171
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: Lusso's father, in the case of this film, Lee Fong's brother.

172
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: You know. So those relatable human themes are still in

173
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: this movie, albeit cut for the kids of today and

174
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: the families of today.

175
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: So, speaking of kids overcoming struggles, when Karate Kid came out,

176
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: you were how.

177
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: Old twenty two when it came out, you're twenty two? Yeah, yeah,

178
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: I got the machio curve. Okay, I played sixteen for

179
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: thirty seven years on.

180
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: That's incredible, Okay, but that's still that's still right around

181
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: the age where a lot of younger people, when they're

182
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: in the industry, they get this massive amount of fame.

183
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: And then after that it was my cousin Vinny, right.

184
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And then you pause for a while yeah,

185
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: I paused longer than I expected.

186
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: But how did you? Because I'm currently watching a show

187
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: called Hollywood Demons, and the last episode was about child

188
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: stars who find this massive fame and then when they paused,

189
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: they spiral out of control. What did you do to

190
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: keep yourself from that?

191
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

192
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: Today today, I don't know how they do it because

193
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: you can't escape. It's so everything's instant. Everyone with the

194
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: phone as a paparazzi, and you know, so you could

195
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: document anyone anytime. It's really scary, but it is what

196
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 3: it is for me. I mean, I think partly my sensibilities,

197
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: my upbringing. So I got to, you know, give props

198
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: to my parents, my girlfriend now wife at the time,

199
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: give give props to the New York Mets who were

200
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: playing well, and I wanted to get back home to

201
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: see some games, you know what I mean. So like

202
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: I always kept one foot in and one foot out.

203
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: I and of Hollywood, if you will. And there is

204
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 3: a downside to that when I if I was a

205
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: little bit more diligent in it, maybe that pause would

206
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: have not have lasted as long. But I think so

207
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: it wasn't by design, but that's kind of when we

208
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: started having kids, my wife and I and we raised

209
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: the family. And so I got to kind of be

210
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: at all of that and still be creative in my way,

211
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: keep it working, but not necessarily at that heightened level.

212
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: And but I also knew that I was planning this

213
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: big resurgence a couple of years later, that that was

214
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: always so It's I I got pretty lucky, But I

215
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 3: think I was just the seduction of all that. I

216
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: did feel that void I did have down, you know,

217
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: darker times where I just you know, it's just like

218
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: when I stayed away from Hollywood, just being there was

219
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: just so daunting, and you know, you you would drive

220
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 3: on the studio lot and the guy would wave, and

221
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: now you can get to the studio lot and they

222
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: want your name and they asked you to spell it

223
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: for them, and you you're waiting in line, and they

224
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: used to just go right through that. You know, that

225
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: plays someone an insecure of mind that that starts playing.

226
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 3: Or the billboards are way bigger when other people's movies

227
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: are on them. They just extend that twenty feet in

228
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: east direction.

229
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 5: Wow.

230
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: Well, knowing what you know now and having been through it,

231
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: would you let your kids get into.

232
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: My daughter isn't it. But she's not a kid any anymore.

233
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: She's my kid, but she's an adult. Yeah. Do as

234
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: I say, not as I do does not work. But

235
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: she's super talented. She did some episodes in the Cobra

236
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: Kai series, she played uh, the Jennifer Beals role in

237
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: the national tour of flash Stance, uh, and did in

238
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: New Zealand. So she's she has a career. I wouldn't

239
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: advise it. It's it's a tough what's happened to me

240
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: is a like a bazillion to want. I mean you

241
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 3: think of you know, coming into the Outsiders at the Onset,

242
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: and then the Karate Kid exploding that way, and my

243
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 3: cousin Vinnie, and and then now the Cobra Kai the

244
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: last eight years of that, and then back on the

245
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 3: big screen with the movie that kind of launched it

246
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 3: all for me. There's not many examples of that.

247
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: My cousin Vinnie.

248
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: Let's go back, let's go back.

249
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you did say that a little talk you're

250
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: having conversations about a reboot. Yeah, I think that is

251
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: kind of that was that came up. It's come up

252
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: a few times. Joe pettually had some ideas he in

253
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 3: the studios were talking about it, but it never came

254
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: to fruition. You know, you never say never. But but

255
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: he's really got to be right. And I worked with

256
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: Cobra kai As those those writers are such big Karate

257
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: Kid fans. They they cared so much to not let

258
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: go of the the origin and the source. And that's

259
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: that's why it It worked for six and you know

260
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 3: six seasons.

261
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 4: Well, by the way, I have a call that wants

262
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 4: to connect with you, and I'm gonna do that in

263
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 4: a second. But as you listen to this Ralph Montio speaking,

264
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 4: doesn't he sound a little like Joe Pesci.

265
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: To you know what you're talking about?

266
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: Has anyone ever said that to you ever?

267
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 3: Not not too often, but I do. You know, I

268
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: like to do Joe impersonations. It's fun, you know, he's like,

269
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: he's like even just like when I first did my

270
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: cousin Vinny uh he was. He brought a bottle of wine.

271
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 3: It was a Shasanya Montrochet. He liked the French you know,

272
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: Burgundy white Burgundy's, which are Sharon and he and we

273
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 3: like have one glass and for dinner and then we

274
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 3: have another glass. He goes, I said, you know, I

275
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: just wine makes me tired, and I've I've since really

276
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: become a fan and wines of a hobby of mine,

277
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: tasting great wines, and he goes, he goes. It makes

278
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: you tired. It's a depressant, Dan, it's a stimulant, which

279
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 3: is basically you're gonna fall asleep and wake up at

280
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: two o'clock in the.

281

Speaker 2: in the eighties.

288
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 5: It's true. I mean I basically had Ralph Machio wallpaper

289
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 5: in my bedroom. It's true.

290
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: Did you hear your own line of I don't think.

291
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it was an actual wallpaper.

292
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: I think.

293
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: Sixteen magazine tape taped together, but the Ralph Montrea wallpaper

294
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 3: would be And did you imagine me like like this

295
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: is the product I want to push.

296
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Now in all the different poses a different movies.

297
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 5: No, it was pretty crazy. I mean I remember like

298
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 5: me and my friend's going to the store we would

299
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 5: buy all those teen books, and you were the first

300
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 5: picture that we would pull out and just hang up

301
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 5: like I was. I just just love. I was convinced

302
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 5: we were going to be married. When basically, what.

303
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,760

00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: because how he kissed it all the time.

315
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: You kissed it, I did.

316
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,000

Speaker 4: Well, Jennifer, do you remember when you first saw Ralph?

319
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 4: Of course, which film did you hear?

320
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 5: I think I believe it was the Outside of Okay?

321
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: What a great film.

322
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: Like to this day, I still watch those movies as

323
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 5: an adult. I'm fifteen now. I still enjoy those films

324
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: so much. And I have to say about like those

325
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 5: movies tied to my teenius, Like I remember my mom,

326
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 5: she's passed away. She passed away in twenty twelve, and

327
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 5: we used to watch those movies together all the time,

328
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 5: Karate Kid the Outside, and there's just so many great

329
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: memories that tied to you and those films. And it's

330
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 5: not to say thank you for those movies, because they

331
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 5: were just great.

332
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: Thank you man. That's so that never gets old to

333
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: hear that. And that's uh, those films, films, movie, a

334
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: cinema can do that. You know, storytelling. It touches people.

335
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: You remember, you remember experiencing something, especially when you lose

336
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: someone you you know, that movie comes on again, we

337
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: see it and we go back. That's that's nostalgia right there.

338
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: But those films bring up, you know, kind of positive

339
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: feelings and and certainly you know, the Karate Kid has

340
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: always been that because you know, you share that kind

341
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: of wish for film and aspirational kind of storytelling. So

342
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: that's what we're you know, we're planning to do with

364
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 4: guess this club of being around for a while, being

365
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 4: there to be a voice in people's lives or an

366
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 4: actor or a character in people's lives back in the day,

367
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 4: and they still go back to those days and the

368
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 4: feelings they had then because.

369
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,440

371
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: too dark and deep that doesn't bring a lot of

372
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 3: joy on a daily basis, it's nice to be on

373
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: that side of it. You know, and that's that's like

374

Speaker 3: people ask me about, you know, this Daniel LaRusso character

375
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: that has become a piece of pop culture and a

376
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 3: piece of people's childhoods Now, I have ten year old
