Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nason.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, I used to love Saturday

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: morning cartoons. I'd watched the Transformers that was the Autobotes

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 2: versus the Decepticons, and that used to start with this,

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: And when you were of that age, everything was explained

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: to you by song.

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: How did it happened? What happened?

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: Why did the Optimist Prime become mortal enemies with Megatron

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: from their planet Cybertron.

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 3: Which I've often wondered, and then they.

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: Came to Earth? Why did that happen?

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: And I didn't even realize that they were buds to

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: start off with?

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 3: Did you know that makes you'll tell me that while

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 3: the Coyote and the Roadrunner were friends.

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: Transformers One is a new movie.

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: It's the untold origin story of Optimist Brian and Megatron,

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: and it's got some big names in Scarlet Johansson's in it,

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: Steve Beshimi's in it, Lawrence Fishburns in it, Chris Hemsworth

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: and Brian Tyrey Henry are in it as well, And

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: we caught up with him yesterday.

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: Well, hello, gentlemen, so nice to see you do an

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: animated film versus what you guys would normally be doing.

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 3: What were your stylings in how you did your voices?

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 3: Did you put your bodies into it? What will start

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: with you, Brian? What was your style when you were

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: when you were doing it?

28
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 4: So roll out of bed and go into the voice

29
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 4: booth with what I rolled out of bed? How refreshing

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 4: because like, you want to be comfortable, you know what

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: I mean. You don't want to feel like you're too

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 4: done up. You want to just be raw. So like

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: I went in unshowered, uh, you know, with snacks, you know,

34
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 4: because like you just That's the great thing about voice

35
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 4: acting is you don't Nobody cares what you look like,

36
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: nobody cares how you read, so it's all about what

37
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: you sound like.

38
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was. It was fun.

39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 4: You go in and you scream and you cry, and

40
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 4: you try to bring some life to these characters that

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 4: you have no idea what they're going to look like.

42
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, you get little bits

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 4: and pieces, but for.

44
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: The most part you don't know what's going on.

45
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: So you just go in and sometimes you have cheeto

46
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: dust on you and sometimes coming.

47
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: Around with tudo.

48
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: Does you guys are similar age?

49
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: This would be right in your wheelhouse.

50
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: If someone said to you, you're going to be playing

51
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: Optimus Prime in the future, Chris, you would have gone, whoa,

52
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: hang on.

53
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like a lot of the films I'm

54
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 5: doing is I'm just gonna live in out my childhood

55
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 5: fantasies and playing all the characters that are either watched

56
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 5: in cartoons or comic books or action figures that I was,

57
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 5: you know, playing with and recreating scenarios. So it is

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 5: a it is a very surreal one, and particularly last

59
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 5: night having my kids there, thinking I'm playing a character

60
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 5: that I used to watch and now my kids are

61
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 5: watching the character and it's all it's all very cool

62
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: and big family fun event.

63
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and did the kids love it? Were you finally

64
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 3: finally a cool day? Because it so embarrassing until.

65
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 5: Now to Superhero they were like, they're boring, but the

66
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 5: robot now now.

67
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: You're in just now a poly pocket, a winner. They

68
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: are making a pollpocket move. Hang on, Lena Dunham's doing it.

69
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, how I like the origin stories of this because,

70
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: like I, you know, watched it when it started out,

71
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: but I didn't understand the actual original origin because you

72
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: guys are deadly foes.

73
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 6: In the end of the whole as we know. But

74
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 6: at the start you were buddies. You were like good

75
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 6: buddies kind of mirrors are real friendship. That's right, I

76
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 6: will destroy you by any means.

77
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 5: That's very It had to I think for both of us,

78
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 5: you know, the idea of being in a part of

79
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 5: the Transformers universe and continuing on this these films and

80
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 5: these stories. It had to be unique and fresh because

81
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 5: I thought, well, where can you go? And these characters

82
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 5: are so defined at this point, but to go back

83
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: and as you say, prior to being mortal enemies they

84
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: were best friends. Allowed there to be a lot more

85
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 5: humor and fun and playfulness with the characters. And you

86
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 5: form that bond and that friendship and that brotherhood and

87
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 5: then you tear it apart. So it's quite a lot

88
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 5: more emotional and ID anticipated.

89
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: All of that. Yeah, Like they have jobs like their proommates,

90
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, And that was the things that were miners.

91
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: But I was a bit well, I knew that the

92
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: relation ship was fraught because there's way too much fist

93
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: bumping going on.

94
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: I think when they.

95
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: Usually when your friendship resorts to a bunch of fist

96
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: bump and you're like this person doesn't care about it.

97
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: Like I've been involved in many fish bumpers and it

98
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: never lost.

99
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 5: Lucky we didn't do another way exactly.

100
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: I always feel.

101
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: Like it's a form of like passive aggression of like

102
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: I don't really want to get to know you, but

103
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 4: I'll extend this thing.

104
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 5: This is my favorite is the fish pump handshake thing,

105
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 5: and then you went off to grabbing.

106
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: The fish overly intimate moment. I was reading today that

107
