Music
It is, so did you meet me?
You hear me?
All right.
It is 703 on the wall.
It's 702 on the east coast.
It is 402 on the west coast.
It is the 19th of April in the year of our Lord
2024.
And I am not ready for the show.
Gotta hit get hooked up to some Wi-Fi here.
Oh, no, not that, that.
Welcome.
The clubhouse podcast we talked about last night is live
and in living color.
We are on a remote show tonight.
How about that?
We're reverting stuff right now.
Oh, we're not stuck.
We just have four stuff.
I go, we got riveting stuff right now.
I can't hear you at all.
Uh-oh.
Try now.
Uh, I can't hear.
I can hear you.
I guess I could just not hear you in my ears.
And that's fine.
Can you hear me now?
I mean, I can hear you, but.
Okay.
Yeah, we are back.
We are back.
Absolutely.
We're back.
We're running a little bit under.
Oh, man.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
We're getting riveting entertainment ever.
Trying to get on the Wi-Fi because I don't have the run sheet
otherwise.
Grab a grab.
Get the get the key for me.
Tell me which one it is and which for the Wi-Fi.
Because I forgot.
We are live at the Angelica Film Center at Mockingbird Station.
The clubhouse podcast is live for the next hour and a half-ish.
For the USA Film Festival.
You see me looking down.
I'm actually seeing what's going on here.
Yeah.
The weapon key.
Is it that one?
Oh, no, I'm connected.
I can't read.
And that's okay.
You would think reading would be a, uh,
a requirement of this gig.
I don't know.
All right.
Now I got to get into one note here because otherwise I am screwed.
No, that's not what I want.
Cancel that.
We, this is riveting radio, Don.
I told you that's why I said this is riveting.
They're getting their money.
It's worth on this.
That's right.
This is how when things go wrong.
Sometimes this is what.
Yeah, this is what people don't see.
This is our controlled chaos.
Hey, Don, can you do me a favor?
Go over to the laptop and click on where it says comments at the top
because that's the whole point of me doing this.
And I forgot to do that.
It is the opening weekend for the USA Film Festival.
We are live at the Angelica.
I don't use the mouse because it doesn't work on.
Uh, all there.
Yeah, almost there.
There we go.
All right.
Nope.
Hit it again.
You stick it away.
There we go.
Now we're back.
We're going to get this under control people.
I promise.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And can you hear me?
Can you hear me on the?
Okay.
Yeah.
We're we're in business down.
We're cooking with gas right now.
We're good to go.
We are good to G.
Oh.
Um, I mean, you can go turn that one up if you want.
It's number four on the board on the board on the board on the board on the board.
Number four.
You are number four.
We also don't have an engineer.
So we're we're we're experimenting with new tech.
Channel four on the board.
There's a little.
The dial at the bottom next to the number four.
Turn it up a little bit.
Not what now you got to talk in that you should have brought the mic with you.
Because it is wireless.
Test 123.
Get a little bit more.
Give them more.
Test 123.
There we go.
Is that better?
All right.
We were definitely running under the gun.
To get this all done for you guys.
But this is how it goes.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, this is this is live podcasting.
We don't we don't edit.
We don't do champagne.
I'll go champagne.
Good Lord.
No.
I'm driving.
What are you talking about?
I got to finish off my mouth.
And Greg.
Can you grab that for me, Don?
No free ads.
No free ads.
Riveting, riveting.
All right.
I need you to do one more thing.
You see these two boxes on my screen right now.
Click.
Just it's a touch screen.
So just touch, dismiss on both of them.
Okay.
Otherwise, I won't be able to see anything.
But we are experimenting experimenting with some new tech,
making it look a little bit cleaner than it has in the past.
What is in front of me?
Up.
There's goes one.
There goes the other one.
There's papers all over the place.
Grab those batteries, Don.
What happened?
That wasn't supposed to happen.
This is just going crazy on me today.
Yeah, put it up there.
It's okay.
We have got a lot going on right here tonight.
I think we finally got the wheels on it.
It only took us six minutes past the hour.
I actually had to go change my shirt.
And then I looked up and it said three, two, one.
It's like, oh, goodness gracious.
I'm usually a little bit better than that.
So we're back.
We are back.
And we're right now on Facebook on YouTube and on Twitch.
For those of you that may not know about our huge announcement last night.
We are now back on Apple podcasts.
We are also on Spotify.
And we are also on Amazon music.
We're moving up into place.
We are.
We're getting stuff done.
Yeah.
You know, and it's the only way.
Oh, I think I know why I can't hear you because I'm on a different feed.
And that's okay.
Okay.
I'm good with it.
So guess what?
Chicken butt.
Fried and Greece.
You want a piece?
I do like chicken.
Okay.
So this is everything stuff too.
So I was gone last night.
Uh-huh.
So in our house of the Casa de Ford with the fantastic faith.
Yep.
Uh, in our master bedroom in the two office in your main bedroom.
Our main.
I call it Matt is master.
Yeah.
Well, when you do.
Well, there's.
But there's terminology that has changed our bedroom.
Okay.
There you go.
And then the guest bedroom.
And then the office.
We're putting new carpet in.
It's going to be in tomorrow.
So we spent the last like couple days moving everything out.
From three rooms into all the rooms.
And I.
Right after you walk our house.
I feel like the show hoarders.
But that's just.
Well, yeah, because that's when you when you do that.
Like we've done that in our old house.
Yes.
Where people don't understand.
Like you have to move everything to a room.
And then carpet that room.
Yeah.
And then you have to take everything.
Put it back in the room.
And then take everything from the other room.
And put it in that room.
Yeah.
So you're basically doing this weird shadow day.
All three rooms are empty.
But yeah.
But it's so it's like it's.
You never realize how much stuff you have.
You don't need to have that much stuff until you either move.
Or you have it.
Yeah.
Well, we have to do it twice because of the water thing.
Oh, yeah.
Alex is in the chat room.
Alex can't be here tonight.
But we've got guests coming up just a little while.
Beverages are being supplied.
I don't know what's happening right now.
The 50th anniversary of the USA Film Festival.
54.
Oh, this is just.
Okay, 54.
Okay.
Still older than me.
Maybe not you.
No, I'm 52.
Okay.
No, hold on.
What's this year?
24.
I'll be 53.
I'll be 53 in October.
Oh, there's Raymond.
The great Raymond Garcia has arrived.
By law, we have to say that.
But the USA Film Festival has had some great things over the year.
We're going to have some film makers on tonight.
Because this is part two of the double feature.
Two nights in a row.
It is season 14, episode 26.
Which means you have been welcome to this show 661 times.
You believe it.
Here's Raymond.
Stop.
You see.
Hey, you see most of Raymond.
See, we're live.
We're on video.
There you are.
We're on video tonight, Raymond.
You see us doing.
You see us doing.
I'm on my way.
So you all enjoy yourselves.
And I'll see you online.
Yes, sir.
I'll see you in the movies.
Absolutely.
Good to see you.
One of our favorite humans.
Well, we love Raymond.
Everybody loves Raymond.
That's something that's.
That's copyrighted.
Copyrights.
I like Raymond.
I think that was one of Letterman's things.
I think it was a.
I think it was a worldwide pants.
It was an image of his production company.
But we're going to go over some things real quick while we are waiting for our first guests,
which will be here in about 20 minutes.
So.
We'll go into some TV news like we did all the sports.
We did the pro wrestling last night.
Okay.
So make sure you check that out.
It is that I did make sure that it did download to my phone.
So everything is well.
Shout out jump cast.
Go check out jump cast.
If you're looking to have a podcast there.
I know it's late.
Yes.
From America's favorite game shows 140.
You still would have been low.
Okay.
ABC has renewed the rookie for season seven, the Nathan Philly and cop show.
We watched like one episode or a couple episodes at the beginning.
Wasn't that great.
My wife really liked it for a while.
And like we like 911 stuff like that.
But it's just that one that we really we tried this kind of.
Yeah.
You know, this is what it is.
Apple TV is renewing.
Remind me.
Are you guys watching for all mankind?
No, we don't have.
This is this is a series that basically it's kind of an alternate universe kind of the thing of what if the Russians got to the moon before we did.
That's the requirements of it.
It has been renewed for season five.
Okay.
They are also going to be doing a spin off.
Telling the events from the Soviets point of view.
Okay.
Of the space race.
Correct.
So I think I'm a little fascinated by it, but we'll have to see how it goes.
Is it with the alternate or actually there.
No, it's still in that timeline.
Okay.
Yeah.
Because in that timeline, they got there before we did.
Okay.
So we just have to, you know, now we want to look at it for the other side.
Okay.
CBS to my wife's delight has renewed ghosts for season four.
Oh, I saw an episode today.
I'm caught up.
My wife loves that show.
She'll be excited to know that.
There was an English version that originally came from kind of like the office.
The British.
Yeah, because they showed it during the strike.
Yeah.
Um, the.
I didn't like the British one too well, but I like this one.
Wow.
I'll wake you up in the morning.
I want it.
Okay.
I'm surprised you're okay.
Alex did say it was you had the same guess he had yesterday.
I'm kind of doing this.
I'm doing this.
I'm doing this.
Um, again, ribb of the.
Elizabeth, which is a new kind of a mystery kind of a thing that they're doing.
They've renewed that for a second season.
They have.
I'll tell you.
This SWAT reboot.
Will not go away.
The SWAT reboot.
Remember they rebooted SWAT a few years ago.
And then it got canceled and then the fans went nuts and then they brought it back.
And it's been renewed again now for season eight.
Okay.
I never.
I.
I think I watched one or two of us.
I saw the movie that they did with a little cool J.
I watched the original one.
I was a kid.
Okay.
Um, then.
And then I had called parallel and Samuel L. Jackson.
Where's my phone?
I don't know.
Check the booth for my phone.
I'm kind of freaking out of that right now.
I mean, it's here somewhere because I'm still getting connected to my watch.
Actually, all your phone.
Well, no, don't dial my phone because then.
Then it's going to ring.
Fair enough.
Um.
But in big news this week.
It's it's in there somewhere.
There we go.
Perfect.
Oh, wow.
I didn't even turn the light off.
See, look at lights.
Nice.
Nice.
They have.
CBS has said after 15 seasons come December.
They are canceling the talk.
They're panel talk show with Jerry O'Connell's and that thing.
Never watched it.
Never.
It was like their version of.
The one with would be Goldberg and them.
Okay.
It's like their version.
Their version of the view.
The view.
Yes.
Okay.
Their version of it.
Oh, yeah.
I think I heard of it.
Okay.
That was CBS.
And were you were you a fan of cold case back in the day, Don?
With the blonde lady, the blonde detective.
Yep.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I watched it for a couple of seasons.
They're looking to reboot it.
They're looking to reboot it.
And I'm wondering, can you see any casting announcements yet?
Oh, hey, looking at.
We got somebody from Twitch saying hello.
Hey, Twitch BTW one.
Thank you for tuning in we appreciate that.
That's what it says.
That's why we that's why you right now.
I've never seen me with it with a screen right here before.
It's because.
I don't know why my cameras freaking out like it is.
My laptop is over there because that's where the camera is.
I put another over here so I can keep an eye on the chatroom.
room, because this is the first time we have done this on video by ourselves.
Okay. We used to have somebody back there doing the thing that would tell us what we
needed. No, but we don't have that. So we've had to be a little bit inventive. We got
some brand new wireless mics we're using. These are brand new, Don. This is the first time
we've used them. I am product testing these for a company called Phoenix Pro. So far so
good. I love it. Sounds good. Let's keep going ESPN. This is a big thing. I'm very excited
about this. They're doing a 30 for 30 just about Stewart Scott. Stewart Scott was the
guy that he was a sports center host. He passed away a few years ago. He was a booya.
He was a guy that started that whole thing. The whole like putting pop culture references
into sports highlights. Okay. It was him and Dan Patrick work together. Okay. And then
him and Rich Eisen as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Him and Rich Eisen first
day of Patrick came later. But they are doing a 30 for 30 on him. He was the anchor man.
They have the guy just whammy, whammy, whammy. That's pretty much because that started.
He started that in the mid 90s. Okay. One of my I just I always remember. I should probably
put my glasses on so I can read screen. I always remember one of the first things I ever
heard from him. It was during a baseball highlight. And a guy just jacked one into next week.
And as soon as he said it, Stewart Scott said, yeah, the drama get wicked. And I was like,
oh, public enemy reference on ESPN. What's happening? Another one of my favorite ones. He
did the bulls. I want to say 97, 98 somewhere there had one of the best defenses in the league.
And he said that the bulls defense was stingier than the only seven year old on the block
with ice cream. And I was like, I can't not love this guy. Yeah. So I'm looking forward
to that 30 for 30 NBC saying that law and order organized crime may move to peacock. They
may move it off the proper and put it on the stream. Now it's like regular line order on
peacock that you don't all of them are. Yeah, I never. But they're also airing on NBC proper.
I never got into the law and order shows. I was a law and order junkie for years. I
bailed probably about six, seven years ago. Okay. They did a storyline. And I was like,
if they do this, I'm out. Okay. And then they like, they, they swerved and didn't do it.
So I was like, all right, you got me for another week. Then the next week they did it. And
I said, I'm done. Yeah. What about like the SVU service? It was SVU that did it. Okay.
Okay. I have not watched any form of law and order since. Okay. And there's even a real
life version on Netflix right now that Dick Wolfe is producing with real New York detectives.
Oh, really? Yep. That one I'm going to I'm game on. I love those. Alex brings up another
cool great Stewart Scott's the guy that that coined the phrase cooler than the other side of
the pillow. I just I love Stewart Scott. And I'm here for it. Netflix big news from Netflix
done. WWE. Well, that's in January. Okay. But kind of you're on the you're on the right track.
Can you make that? Can you have fixed that one? So it's ready for our guests. Okay, sure.
Oh, remember how angry I was because I was trying to get caught up on heels. Yeah. And I was
an episode in a half a way. You may want to. And stars pulled it. I'll be careful. I think go
the other way. You're losing it done. And then stars pulled it off the thing so I didn't
get to finish it. Heels will be now on Netflix. So I can finish season two. I'm very excited
about this. So they're not having season three that rumors abound that they're still looking
for a new home for season three. We have not gotten any confirmation yet. But they they
are still hopeful for season three. Now with Steven Amel doing this suit spin off suits L.A.
That can get things kind of weird and it may have to be like a summertime show maybe.
As long as I get heels back I'm good because that show is fantastic. Here's the thing about
that the last season spoiler free. They ended it great. That's it. Everybody's told me
like the end of season two is just mind blowing. And I'm like, don't tell me I don't want
to know. But they left it so there'd be a season three because they thought there would
be. Yeah. It's just like deadwood. How deadwood got ended thinking there'll be another
season and never happened. Dead with the genius. Yeah. Yeah. I miss that show too. Oh,
it's chilling. Your end exchange is the main. I just started talking like Schillinger on
the show season two of Wednesday coming to Netflix. Oh, the end of the family. And Steve
Buscemi is joining that show. He's playing the principal of her high school. Okay. Maybe
cousin it. You can put it. No, no, they've already said he's playing the principal of
high school. I do the research done. That's why I'll run she. And season five of the Witcher
will be its last. I never got into that one. It's based on a video game. Yeah. Henry Cavill
played the title character and then they've they've pivoted. Okay. So we'll see how that
works. Paramount Plus has renewed one of my favorite shows on Paramount Plus right now.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds has been renewed for season four, even before season three
starts. I love Strange New Worlds. It's basically a prequel to the original series. You
said, which one is star? Star Trek Strange New World is what it's called. I am a huge fan
of the show. Anson Elgort. I think it's the guy that plays Captain Pike. He's fantastic.
Rebecca Romain. Stamos or Narraka Romain. Now she's O'Connell. She's in this. They did a really
cool crossover episode with their animated series. And towards the end of that episode,
Jerry O'Connell is one of the voices. And he referred to her character. She's like, man,
she's really hot. I'm like, yeah, you're married to her, dude. But Star Trek Lower Decks
could end after its next season, season five. But there are rumors that it may move to either Amazon
or Netflix. That's that's one of their animated series because there's two. There's Lower Decks
and there's Prodigy. And then the live action discovery. This is its last season. And then you
have Strange New Worlds. A lot of Star Trek. I mean, how many days would take you to watch all
the Star Trek shows from the original 60s all the way? If I was to watch from TOS until now,
gosh. It would take you probably a solid six months to get through everything. And that's if
you just didn't do anything else because you look at how long next generation and Deep Space 9
alone ran. And T6 9 still my favorite. But they also have the show Evil. They're on the Paramount
Plus. Season four of that will be its final season as well. You're the premise of that? Basically
supernatural investigators. Okay. But it's a little a little darker than the ex files, I guess.
TV on DVD and Blu-ray this coming week. Season three of the umbrella Academy as we prepare for
season four. That will be coming out. And when does that one come out on four? You know, they
haven't heard a date yet. Okay. But we do have some very interesting news for me. Next week,
we get the return of one of my favorite shows on Apple TV plus the big door prize. I thought
there wasn't going to be till May, but it comes back next week. Okay. So I'm very excited about that.
Did you hear about the thing Sunday night with the Billy Joel concert? No. So CVS was showing
Billy Joel's 100th show at Madison Square Garden. It was on the last Sunday, remember?
Apparently halfway through Piano Man, they cut to local news. People lost their...
Access a couple things. It's Liam Hemsworth that replaced Henry Cavill and Star Trek,
there are over 840 hours of programming. So you figure if you watched it 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, that would take you 10 days to 40. It would take you over a month if you just went
all day every day and didn't sleep. TV 40, right? Divided by 24. 35 days. Yeah, we're over a month.
So you figure if you sleep eight hours a night, that gives you 16. So you only get two thirds
of the way through that. So now you're talking two months. And that's... If you did nothing else,
but wake up, watch Star Trek and go to bed. Which I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that.
That's another American dream. So they're re-airing the concert tonight in its entirety.
Yeah, because I think what happened, there was a delay on CVS because of the Masters. Oh, I'm sure.
And the Masters in made everything start like 20 minutes late or 30 minutes late. I think maybe
that's where they... But you still guys, if you are going with a live feed, you have to keep an
eye on it. I know, but maybe there was some local stations that didn't, hey, it's time to go not
knowing that they're cutting out, you know. And so yeah, it was still... I don't think it was the
local, the local feed. I think it was, it was CVS that was just like, okay, go to news now and
they're like, hey, wait a minute. Oops. Yeah. No, come on, but it's okay. pedestrian's are fine.
We don't fight. We don't fight. You have the right way. We are live right now at the Angelica
Film Center at Mockingbird Station. My camera's still freaking out a little bit.
You mean to adjust at the... I don't know what it's going on. At the USA Film Festival, having a blast,
we're going to have some filmmakers on here in just a few minutes.
Looks like we're getting a Paul, a Chris Farley biopic that's going to be directed by Josh
Gad. Paul Walter Howzer will play him. What do you think of that?
I'd like to see that. Now it's just a film, TV film, or what, or is it? It's going to be a feature
from on a token. So basically, it's going to be a big studio film. I read the book that his brother
wrote about the biography, his brother wrote on him. Very, very good. It's a great book if you
haven't checked it out. There's a lot about him I didn't know. Some of the things kind of made me
sad because some of the things that I loved about that he did were things that he wasn't particularly
proud of. And that kind of made me sad, but it's a great book. Yeah, do you think he is proud of
the Chippendale thing or not? That's one of the things that he was least proud of. Really? Yes.
Wow. Yeah. That part of the book kind of broke my heart a little bit. Not going to lie.
Alex says over 40 days. Yeah. Let's see here. Glenn Powell. He was the, he was one of the guys in
Topga Maverick. Okay. He is going to start in a new version of the Running Man.
Yes. It's not the dance. This is a feature film, right? Yes.
Of the Stephen King book, the Schwarzenegger remake. Okay. It's going to be Edgar Wright will be
directing. So I'm going to be interested to see how that goes. But they said it's going to take
some liberties. Yeah. Just tell the story, bro. Just tell the story. It's all I'm saying.
You know how much I love remakes. Have you ever heard of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
story called The Last Ronin? No. This is, this takes place I think 20 years in the future or so
when the grandson of Shredder has basically taken out everybody.
You made the evil. Yep. Okay. Except for one turtle.
And it's Leonardo. Okay. And Paramount wants to do an R-rated adaptation of it. This is a very
popular storyline. And it's called, it's called TMNT The Last Ronin. And I am on board. If it's done
right, because that that last one I know. And I know it was like the claymation kind of thing.
I like that lab. The Mutant Mayhem. I'm very much enjoying it. This would be a live action they're
saying. They haven't said officially if it's going to be live action or animated. I'm kind of
good either way as long as the tone of the animation works. Does that make sense?
Of Jeremy Allen White, who he was a guy from the bear. He was also in the iron claw. Okay.
Play Carrie. Um, he was there. He is doing a movie called Deliver Me From Nowhere,
where he will be playing Bruce Springsteen as the boss was writing the Nebraska album,
which is seen as a darker album from his career. I am very interested in this.
I'm game. I still think he was a little short for his role in the iron claw, but he's still
a great job. And the bear is just winning every award on the planet. We know we have sonic
the hedgehog three coming soon. That's a live action. Just like the other. Okay. CGI live action
in hybrid shadow, which is one of the he's the the darker color with the red. He will be voiced
by one Kanna Reeves. Well, gotta go fast, bro. Yeah, the John Wick or do you think you'll have the
uh, Bill and Ted. It'll be it'll be just probably just Kanna being Kanna because he can do whatever he wants.
That dude can do whatever he wants. I like to see them doing the Bill and Ted kind of thing though.
Alex says your last live action Leonardo was one Alan Richardson, who we saw earlier this week
in a movie. We'll talk about here in a minute. Okay.
You know, we're getting a naked gun reboot. Are we starring Liam Neeson's?
Liam Neeson is your new Frank Drebyn. Oh, God. We also now know who will be playing the Pamela Anderson
role. Pamela Anderson wasn't even. I mean, she's playing the Priscilla Presley. I just screwed up
the whole headline playing the Priscilla Presley role will be Pamela Anderson. Okay. So who would
pay George Kennedy's role? They haven't said anything else yet. So let's be coming out next summer.
Summer of 2025. Yeah, I wonder how many how many, you know, because he always had him and I always
love George Kennedy on that thing too. You know, I love all three of those films. Yeah. I own
police squad. I don't own the film yet. I need to get those. But that was original. I always love
those. They can take you. Those are one of my guilty pleasure movies. I can watch. Although we
think having a queen is a silly and Rico Plotso just I love those movies.
Oh, Ags and I were actually talking about it the other day in this series where they would
always act like they're doing the freeze frame. But nobody, it's not an actual freeze frame.
And so the guys poured coffee and the coffee's overflowing out of the mug and people are jumping
through windows. Gosh, I love that style. This is fucking me now. Hold on. What's going on, Don?
What are you doing? I'm just you know we're live right now, right? I'm trying to
police squad. Nicky, come there it is. There. Hold on. What? Bear with me. Bear with me.
I kind of can't tap the net. Okay. That was George Kennedy's thing.
We also have this week. The Superman reboot that James Gunn is doing. We have Ma and
Pac-Tent cast Taylor, a pro it Taylor Vince and Niva Howell and playing Pa and Ma respectively.
And you might want to make your plans for next weekend, Don. I think this is a phantom events
thing. Alien will be back in theaters next Friday. The original. The original. Oh boy.
Now we got the new one coming out too. Yeah. I finally saw the trailer. What'd you think?
I'm gay. Okay, I'll say this. It's a Ridley Scott production, which gives me hope.
So you're cautiously optimistic. It's a Ridley Scott production. That makes me feel better.
Movie new releases in places you get movie new releases this week. Actually today,
I don't have my buttons. So I don't have the things. But a movie you reviewed, which is currently
located at www.theclubhousepodcast.com. That's our website. But ding. Abigail hits theaters today.
What's that about? Uh, base. I know you saw it. You reviewed it. You're the only one of us that did.
I did not know that this was loosely based on the movie from the 30s Dracula's daughter.
I had no idea. I found that out the other day doing my research. Also a movie that all three of us
have reviewed currently at the website. The Ministry of Ungently Warfare. This is the new one
from Guy Richie. I love this movie. I love this movie. And we have all three movies reviews at www.theclubhousepodcast.com.
That is still our website. Ding. But yeah, this is. I don't want to ruin much for anybody. But
this is the most unguy Richie movie I've ever seen. And that's not a bad thing. I love Guy Richie. But
he just, he really kind of takes a different approach in this film. It's a solid two hours.
It hits the gas pedal and doesn't let go. I will say this about Abigail. I really enjoyed it.
And I love the plot of it. It's still kind of the very end. But it was kind of a mix of suicide
kings meets blade. Yeah. Of course, you know what you're getting into when you go into the film.
But still for me, if you could handle and get a horror film, you want a lot of fun with some fun
gore. I did enjoy it. Well, my top 10 of the year know, but it definitely will make my bottom 10
either. So also this week, a movie called Villains Incorporated. After the death of their boss,
Beatrix Kane and Harold are left destitute living in an abandoned grocery store. Beatrix is
determined that they will fight on their own and take over the world by any means necessary.
This has Colin mockery, who you might remember from whose line is it anyway.
Joe Beretta, who I know from many years ago as an online guy. So it's good to see him getting
some big work. Those are really the only names I recognize from this. Also a movie called The
Night of the Harvest. Let me pull that up for you. This has Ella Bennett and Christy Mackie.
Aubrey and her friends go geocaching in the woods behind an old cornfield where they're trapped
and hunted by a masked woman in white. And that won't end well. Then we also have wildfire,
the legend of the Cherokee ghost horse. This is based on the song from the 70s.
And they're calling wildfire. Okay, based on that.
Movies on DVD and Blu-ray this week. The beekeeper, Don.
I loved it. That was fun. I'm going to go with no. That's a hard pass for me.
For me, it was fun. It was in the 35th anniversary of Steel Magnolius. You can believe that.
That's that long ago. Yeah.
And some of these films you just figured, you know, it's been watching it, but now you realize
when they're made, it's like, yeah, that's 30 years ago. Justice League crisis on infinite
earth's part two. I got to get caught up on that. And the criterion collection release is I am Cuba
this week. I am what? It's a it's a film called I am Cuba, like the island. Okay. So
a lot going on in pop culture. Of course, our normal show every Thursday night.
80s, turn five Pacific. I had to do math. I don't know why we've been doing the show for like four
months on it. I can I can never remember. Alex will be back with us. I'm sure next week. Also,
next week is is another film festival. We got to get some wheels on for that. Yep.
And we also want to make sure, you know, everybody's coming down to the Angelica tonight for all the
all the great films. I'll be starting here in just a little while. This weekend is also Dallas
comic show of a divista mall up in Lewisville. I will be there tomorrow hosting some Q&A panels
with some amazing guests. I'm very much looking forward to it. Also hosting the cosplay contest at five
o'clock tomorrow night will be at the Texas I they will be at the Texas theater. I will not
but they're showing mean streets with David Proval, who's one of the guests. He's in it. And then
Sunday night will at five thirty will at the Texas theater. They're showing toy story three
with John Morris, who was the voice of Andy. Okay. Here's a trivia for you. Okay, trivia.
I've been hosting Q&As now for almost two years next month. Okay. He was part of the very first Q&A
hosted at a comic show. Really? How was he? It was great. Okay. I'm looking forward to
speaking with him tomorrow because I don't think he knows that. So I'll I'll throw a little trivia on him.
By the way, you're my first. Yeah, first Q&A. I'm going to throw it out there. Yeah, two years ago. I ain't scared.
One second. Okay. Don is Don is now leaving me alone yet again. And that's okay. But also remember,
we cover sports. We cover entertainment. We cover pop culture. We also cover pro wrestling. We did
that last night. Alex and I had a great discussion of some great some things going on in our sport currently.
A lot going on. Don what you got? What's going on? I'll just check it on there. Yeah, we're just
where we're waiting on our first filmmaker. I'm just trying to get them set up and ready to go.
You know what I'm saying? We got a schedule and they're going to keep us to it. I know. I just can see
all I know. This is my job. I know. This is this is a little bit different for you. I know. And that's okay.
As soon as I learn to spell, I think we'll be okay. There we go. That's what I'm looking for.
But we're going to have three different filmmakers joining us tonight.
Or if one one one of our panels, we don't have enough. We have barely enough microphones for.
Well, we might have to have a share. Well, the chair over in case, you know, we've got a
we got one filmmaker and then we got three people and then we got one. This is also the first time
we've been given usually you're out there running around like a chicken with his head cut off. Yeah.
Tonight, you don't have to do that. Which is good for me because I've got somebody to sit here and talk to.
I mean, I love our chat room. I love the empire. But having somebody here live is a good thing too.
Yeah, I'm totally into the downcomes and you turn it to the Rob the Q and A guy for the.
Cool. The solo adventure is never a good thing. I know that. But here they come. I see them.
We have young people here at that. We have people approaching. We have people approaching.
There are people approaching. I have no idea.
Yeah.
Alrighty then. A lot going on with the USA Film Festival. Make sure you go to their website.
So you can find the entire schedule. A lot of movies last night. They watched Footloose.
If you can believe that, that film having a an anniversary. I don't know why Don did that. We have
a schedule to keep. But hey, what are we going to do? I'm still here by myself.
And then we've got other things that are coming up coming up next month. We will have the real
owl film festival, which we do every year. We go to Garwin High School and work with their film
department. I did see a patty Schubert just a little while ago while I was getting everything set up.
So they're ready for us to come out and do the deal for them again this year. Very, very excited about that.
Hi, I don't know what's going on right now. That's okay. Wouldn't be the first time.
Alex just put up the website for it, www.usafilmfestival.com. Go to go there.
Thank you, Alex. And check out their schedule for this entire
probably about nine days, I guess.
Howdy.
Marcus, we've got you scheduled right right now.
All right. We got three of you. Are we got three of you coming?
All right. So you're going to be going to want to get right up on these mics as we talk.
Yeah, Don, can you turn number two down a little bit for me, please?
Perfect. How's that?
That's good. Better for you?
Hi, go ahead and we've got video running live. We are streaming live right now. Introduce
yourselves to everybody, please. Where's the camera? Right in that little dot up in the corner.
Because I'm looking at me right there.
Yeah, I keep doing the same thing.
My name is Marcus Efron. I am getting right up on that second. There we go.
There we go. I'm Marcus Efron. I'm the writer and director of last night on Earth.
Don, turn up number two, just a little bit for me.
Number two on the board. It's a little bit. And go ahead, sir.
And I'm Stephen Israel. I'm one of the producers of the film.
So as I was doing my reading, preparing for our conversation tonight,
just because it's called last night on Earth, there's layers to this.
And I don't know how deep you want to go. It is tonight right here at the Angelica.
It's going to start at seven o'clock. Yes.
But I want you guys to tell because I did my reading, but I don't want to give anything away.
So I want you guys to talk about like, what is the film?
Well, the film, which I should say, the original title was not last night on Earth,
but we don't have to say what it was before. It's gone through some title changes.
However, I credit our distributor before helping us come up with a very good title.
The film is sort of this, I don't know, I guess it's like this existential question
of what do you do when you know that your time is limited? When you know sort of the time and place
of your demise, how do you approach things? And so ultimately, it's about two people
who have chosen to spend sort of these last few moments together in peace and bliss and love.
But the world doesn't sort of conspire to help them do that.
How long ago did you shoot it? We shot the film about two years ago.
Post-production took a while and then we had strikes and there was a very tumultuous time in Hollywood.
So yeah, we shot it during pandemic or yeah.
I just lost my train of thought. I am so sorry.
Is how many times have you seen it since the final product had happened?
Well, obviously we were very involved and obviously involved in the editing of it.
Right. Put it together with the actual final final film.
Final mix down.
Seeing it, I've probably seen it five times and probably three times in a theater.
As the director of the film, when you watch it, is it hard to take off your director hat
and just like, I'm going to watch the movie, I'm going to try not to look for stuff,
I just want to see the film. Is it hard for you to do that or can you separate from that?
No, impossible.
Stephen, one of our producers who helped get the movie off the ground can tell you that you're always
looking and finding the scars and the bumps and there are things that I notice that I know that
nobody on this planet will notice, but I do. Although at some point, I can't just sit back and
enjoy the movie as much as I possibly can. I made my first movie 30 years ago and I know exactly
which scenes are ADR'd. But from that standpoint, because that's a very interesting point,
is you say like, I know which part was ADR'd and not and for those that don't know ADR's when
they have to go back and re-record dialogue for a number of reasons. Maybe you had a plane fly
overhead or you didn't quite get the cadence just right or whatever. Sometimes it can be a story
point. You need to fix a story point with dialogue that you put in an ADR. Don, can you hear him okay?
Can you hear number four okay? Okay. But for you as a producer, to say somebody as a producer,
it's such a long list of things. And Marcus just said, if I may call you Marcus, I'm sorry,
I forgot to ask. He says, you were in on the ground level. Yeah. How much of it do you let your
director run all of it? All of it? Good answer. He's like, I just need the ROI. That's what I'm
worried about. No, no, no, no. Like, a producer's role is not to direct the film. I mean, like,
a producer's role is to enable the director. And I think, you know, occasionally I'll have a
suggestion and so forth, but I'm very protective of the director's prerogative. Were you on
set a lot? Or did you just kind of like, hey, just send me daily's? Not that work for you. I was on
set from day one to the last, you know, so how long was the shoot? I believe we were scheduled for
about 20 days, but we lost the data rain, a very bad rain. And going back to your question about
what are the sort of band-aids you see? There are a couple of scenes in the film. I will not say
which ones that were supposed to have been done over the course of two days, but these scenes
collectively were done in one day. And you know, as a storyteller, I feel like, oh man, I wish I'd
covered it a little better, which I had disengled that angle, but you just didn't. And no one will know,
but I know how many times has the film been shown publicly? You said you've seen it five times. How
many times has it been shown publicly? This is the world premiere. Oh, is it really? They don't give me
that stuff. We had a screening about a year or so ago in Knoxville, Tennessee, where we shot the
movie. And that was kind of a cast and crew, friends and family screening. And then we did a
screening for the students of the University of Georgia in the film, film, film composing program.
Oh, wow. Because our incredible composer, Tom Hyle, was teaching teachers at the University
of Georgia. He had a range of screening for some of the students. Those are the only two quasi-public
screening you've had. This is it. So this is this is room full of strangers for the first time,
pretty much. A few friends that have been a surrangle from parts of Texas unknown, but yeah,
in a situation like this, like what's going through your head? Like, are you like,
okay, the beats I've got to look for this, this and this. Or it's like, you know what, we're
going to go, we're going to do the thing and it's going to be the thing. Honestly, I just hope people
like it. I mean, simple as that. I mean, as anybody who makes a film, writes a book, does anything
artistic that sort of comes from you, you hope that people like it and people don't, you know,
crap all over it. I can't remember who said it, but no work of art is ever completed. It's just
abandoned. You know, there's always more you could have done. And so at some point, you just have
to stop. And, you know, hopefully, the right place, because you can screw it up by going too much
further. What attracted you to the project as a producer? Descript. Martin wrote a kick-ass script.
I read it, and I was sold the minute I read it. So. Was it, did it translate well from what
you saw in your head to what wound up on the screen? Sorry, monster. Yeah. Because that's always a
challenge, especially as a filmmaker is I see in my head when I read this script. Was there any added
pressure to that? Or are you just like, no, we're just going to film what I see and it's going to be,
what it's going to be? I mean, there's an old adage that we say if it's not on the page,
it's not on the stage. So you can take a good script and make a bad movie, but you can't take
a bad script and make a good movie out of it. So we believed in the script. And as long as I
believed in it and Steven and Brian Conley, who was our lead producer, who really was the engine
that got the movie made and we shot it in his hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee. And
same as Steven, that's what drew him to the project. As if we stayed true to the script,
we knew that we were going to have a good movie. And that's what we tried to do. And of course,
you have to sort of dance around when things change and the weather, you know, puts up obstacles
or you don't get the thing in the art department that you wanted. You have to shift a little. But
yeah, if it's, if you could write it well and you shoot what's on the page, you should be in
good shape. As a filmmaker who inspires you. Well, I mean, like I could throw down the
litany of film directors who have inspired me, but it's not just directors. I mean, it's all
kinds of artists and writers and, and you know, as a writer, because it all starts with the script,
I have to say Stephen King, who I've been reading him since I was in middle school. You
you and me both. Yeah. And you know, at some point, you're like, okay, the scary stuff is fun,
but then you get past a lot of his books that are really not horror books. And when it comes down
to the characters and he writes characters better than almost anybody that I can think of. And
people look at me sometimes like, what do you talk about Stephen King is a horror guy. No, he's
an incredible storyteller. So somebody like him is very inspiring. And then of course, you know,
you've got the sort of pantheon the gods of directors. Well, I don't know if you saw, but
Bloom House is remaking Christine. I don't know if I read that, but that to me, that was the movie
of his that I thought was closest to the source material of what I read of his. Yeah, although I'm
still waiting on the eyes of the dragon. This was supposed to happen. It's one of my favorites.
I'd be curious to see Christine because I thought that the film they did in the 80s. I thought
was great. Yeah. For from your standpoint, when you need to be inspired from just when you're
reading a script or you need to reread it, is there anything that you go to that kind of helps
you reset your brain? No, I just have to visualize the material. Like if I can't visualize the film
when I read the script, I'm sort of done. If I visualize it, if I visualize it, if I visualize it,
then I can get behind it. If I can't visualize it, to me, that's a problem with this. Is it a one
in done process or have there been times where you're like, let me give this another go. I think I
might find something that I'm not for sure. No, I'm pretty much the one I'm done. So you just
trust your gut and we go, which is not always a bad idea. I mean, look, not everything I've
wanted to make gets made for God's sake. That's all that's true, but I'm going to pretty good record,
but no, not everything like, and you know, I've got that script that I've been working on for 10
years and one day it'll become the forest gump or whatever, but yeah, I mean, it's a lot of things
fooled by the wayside over the over over the years, but you know, I'm one of the busier guys,
so you know, I'm lucky. The film itself, if you were to say to somebody in one sentence without
spoiling, of course, the message of this film, what would it be?
Because you mentioned it earlier, but I wasn't sure if you would die deep enough. I would say
appreciate what you have now. Okay, that's fair. And it's going, it starts here in about 10 minutes.
I'm sure you guys will be introing the film Q&A after the film. Yes.
Oh, whatever they tell us, you know, I always find that's the best way to
and I know we're getting very close to that. I just want to thank one moment to say, I love
this film festival. Like, this is awesome. And has been such a great host over. I think I had my
first film here in 2004. Oh, wow. And she's always been the consummate hostess. And this film
festival is filled with film lovers. And I have such a good time when I'm here. And I'm so glad to
be back. And it's a great mix of like older films in the brand. Like last night they watched Footloose
amazing. And there's only one. Let's be real. One footloose. Honestly. Well, I was stoked to see,
and I don't, and sadly, I don't think I'll be able to see it, but they're showing bad lands.
And Teres Malik is just one of my, he's in the pantheon of just great filmmakers and I'm actually
making a movie later this year that has some connections thematically to Badlands. So I was super
excited to see that they're showing that movie here. We're getting close to time because we got
to keep you guys on schedule. I always liked that the end will be have our guests, like what I call
shameless self promotion. So which is basically the whole thing anyway, but still
after tonight, people want to get in touch with you website social media, the whole nine go
marcosfron.com or M-a-r-c-u-s-e-f-r-o-n. I'm going to correct you there. Okay. M-a-r-c-o-s.
All right. I am fixing that on my sheet right now. I apologize. Marcos Efron. Yes. All the links
to social media are there. You know, send a message. The good, the bad, the ugly. I can handle it.
I'm in hiding. Right now, you're streaming to the world.
Marcos Efron. He's in witness protection.
I thought this was sound only. No. You can check out my IMDB page, Stephen Israel, and that's
that's where you can find everything, but also in shameless self promotion. Absolutely.
Tomorrow night, at the same time, I think seven o'clock, the studio one forever is also playing.
That's a documentary about the world's first gay disco. I did read about that. So that's also
everything's here at the Angelica. Everything's here at the Angelica. Which is a great
facility if you want to come. We do screenings here all the time. We love the staff here. Everybody
does a fantastic job. But if we're also playing, Marcos and I've just produced a movie together,
which we just got like wrapped like what three days ago. I think so, yeah.
In Guadalajara, it's called Day of the Dead. It's a straight up horror thriller that'll be like,
look for us this time next year. Yeah, and I'll say that the producer and the co-director of that
film is Brian Conley, who is the producer of our film last night on Earth. So we sort of kept
it in the family a little bit. And I got to throw out one more shout out to the guy who really
got this thing started. A producer, director, fantastic guy named Eric Ross. He was the one who
over cigars and whiskey one night during COVID. But I was lamenting the fact that the industry had
gone to shit. He was like, let me see if I can help you. And he was the one who got this all started.
So that's Eric. Thank you, man. Yeah, thank you, Eric.
I know, I mean, I don't have to wish you guys luck because you guys are going to kill it tonight.
But we cannot thank you enough for sitting down with us at the USA Film Festival.
And I'm holding you this. If you're back next year, you're in these chairs too.
Done. As long as we're here. I mean, if we're not here, I can't control that. However,
you guys bring back Day of the Dead. We want to be here for you as well.
Done. Gentlemen, thank you so much for sitting down with so appreciate it.
There's there's our there's our lead actress. If you got another man, if she wants to sit down,
I'm here for it.
Yeah, what's your name? Life in it.
We can give you guys. I'm well, I'm on your time schedule.
I'm giving up my spot because I don't want to see him.
I mean, we have the lead of our film has just walked into the lead has arrived.
The lead has arrived. The lead has arrived. Bring her, bring her, bring her to me.
But thank you guys. We really appreciate it. We are honored to have you guys.
Yeah, this is this is one of my favorite things to do. Get out of the studio, be out in amongst the people
and hang it out. I'm not kidding when I say this is one of my absolute favorite film
thoughts. Oh, no, we don't we'll take it. We'll take it all day long. Here she is.
I'm going to give up my spot.
Oh, I think there's something every quick.
Okay. Hi. You can wrap it around the back if you want.
I want to do it. All right. I'm cool.
All right. Introduce yourselves to our people.
Oh, I'm camera. Okay. Hi, Levin Ramben. Yes. Hi, actress. Hi.
Part of last night on earth, not just actress, the lead of our film.
She's in the picture and the guide and everything.
Yes. She is the movie. How are you feeling right now?
Getting ready for the premiere? Yeah, I'm really excited. I haven't seen a lick of footage.
Really? No, not one. So you saw it five times. You haven't watched it once?
Only five. That's a surprise. Well, that's like the final.
Okay. Not a thing. Not a thing. So I will be surprised just like everyone else in the audience.
Pleasantly surprised. Yeah. Butterflies, anything or you just like,
hey, man, let's go do a thing. No, no, this is this is it's been a while. COVID was really weird.
I didn't have a premiere for my last movie. So it's been a few years and it is all the butterflies
and my parents are here. Nice. Nice. And my aunt and uncle. So it's a family affair.
I'm from Texas. So we all had to go to Houston. Okay. So I live in Austin now.
So this you're you kind of used to? It feels like home. Yeah. A little more than the Chinese
theater day in LA. Yeah. The humidity has kicked in. We're still kind of nicely spring.
I'm kind of surprised. I'm wearing a nice suit. We will look very similar tonight.
Like, I'm not uncomfortable. So I'm happy. I just again lost my train of thoughts.
Oh, no. One of those days. We have two Houstonians here.
There you go. Houstonians. I think that's how we connected.
Well, that's that's the beauty of this festival, too, is we do get a lot of filmmakers from Texas
that come to this festival. I love it. Is this your first time at this festival?
It is. It is. I don't think I've been to Southwest, but not with a film actually of my own.
But yeah, this is the first time in seeing the like kind of industry in Texas. So I like that.
And the industry itself is just growing, especially in Dallas,
Fort Worth is just growing like a weed. That's awesome.
And you see things that are getting filmed here. Yeah.
And things that people don't know. There's a show in filming in Houston right now.
No, on X. I actually auditioned for it. If not, get it, unfortunately.
They're lost. But there you go. But I was I was happy that I was filming in Houston.
I thought it was really cool. And it was he's from Houston.
It's an authentic story about a Palestinian guy in Houston.
So yeah, it's growing all over Texas in Austin, too, where I live now. So yeah, Austin's nuts right now.
Yeah, I was just in New Braunfels a couple of weekends ago.
So driving through Austin. And I'll be in Austin.
I work with greater Austin Comic Con. So I'll be there.
I'll go to that. I should they should invite me.
I'll see I've been in enough things that I think they've got weird owls come in this year.
Cool.
Um, um,
Glimmer.
Glimmer.
Anyway, junior market remote. It's going to be a good show right there at the HB Center.
Yeah, let's let's invite me or what I've never been to a Comic Con for some reason.
And so you come to greater Austin.
I'm down. I think that's an invitation.
It sounds like it. I'll have my people call your people.
I mean, it's it's recorded.
So I can't get out of it myself. Let's be honest.
And I don't mind. I don't give it. I don't care.
So you guys have two minutes to get in the theater.
Oh, we do. Okay. Wow. Okay.
So we'll have a great showing.
I know you guys are going to be outstanding.
I'm looking to hear if we're still here when you guys get back out.
I want to hear how it went. Oh my god.
All right. I'm curious about that too.
So thank you guys so much.
The last night on earth. It's about to kick off.
But it's not the only time people are going to be able to see it.
It's going to be out.
That's yeah, I believe May 31st in theaters.
Oh, wow.
The actual run.
Yeah. That's right after right after the holiday.
So you go, you have your memorial day.
And then the following week and go see the last night.
Last night on earth.
Thank you guys so much.
Thank you. Happy to do it.
All right.
Honored to do it.
You are watching the Clubhouse podcast live from the USA Film Festival
at the Angelica in Mockingbird Station.
Right outside of downtown Dallas,
they're about to go do the thing.
We've got a couple more guests.
Maybe one, maybe two.
We don't know.
We'll find out together.
That's what we do.
Alex been doing a great job taking all the
all the plugs and all the websites and putting them on the thing.
So that you guys can check out the work of our guests.
Thank you, Alex, for picking up that slack for me because I don't have a keyboard.
I didn't think about that part of it.
Can't think of everything people can hear it.
She'll be looking here.
I don't know.
Don, how you doing, brother?
Bill, then we got more talent coming in a couple of minutes.
Okay.
I know.
I got a schedule.
You don't want the guys coming in?
It's going to, uh,
he's going to do the intro.
They'll come out.
Yeah, no, that's, I mean, because all of these movies are starting at the same time.
So we just kind of have to kill time a little bit.
Yeah.
And I mean, I think interest
that in some cases,
the filmmakers are like, you know what?
I want to sit in here the whole time and other things like,
well, I'll come back a little bit later because like, like we talked about
with with Marcos, he's seen the film five times.
But this is the first time in a group of strangers, basically.
Because he's had the last two times they've watched it.
They've been with, you know, like in the family and friends where they
filmed at Knoxville and then they did the University of Georgia thing where
their composer teaches.
So there's a level of familiar.
Yeah, I'm actually going to take this earbud out because it's to give him a lot of issues.
Is it okay?
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going.
I'm so homeless.
Oh boy.
I'm not ribbing again.
I ain't scared.
This is a ribbing.
I ain't scared.
That was a cleaner from the Hunger Games.
We'll take a sip of my beverage.
That was cool.
I mean, no free ads, but you should have to pay those pizza.
Engaged raid.
Actually, this isn't pay-go-speech that's in here.
Okay.
I just haven't had this cup in the car.
What is pay-go-speech?
When you go to Comic-Con, they are a soda company.
Okay.
Which they sell these and these are very, they're insulated cups and you get these little
wristbands.
Okay.
And for that whole day, your refills are free.
Oh, I have like four of these things.
I found out two weeks ago that I can just bring one of these to another show and that I just
pay seven bucks for the rest of it.
I have four of these things.
I thought I had to buy a new one every show.
Well, now you know it to get me from my birthday.
You can have one of mine, John.
Yes, trust me.
That's what I'm saying.
That's to me a few bucks.
Because these are not cheap.
I'm sorry, but they do great.
I'm still waiting for your...
The Funko pop.
I know.
It's on the agenda.
Dad, I'm still waiting for your login information for Hulu.
That thought don't I'm sorry.
Okay.
Actually, I'm going to need you to do that on your own.
Actually,
Valentine's Day, I got a Funko for me in a fantastic way for it from the make your own kind of thing.
Did you make one for both of you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So when you come over in a couple weeks for the, I think you'll see about that.
If I can.
If you can.
You know, 50, 50 on that one.
I know, I know.
If you can.
But so then I saw now they're doing we can do two Funkos and one.
Uh-huh.
You know, yeah, they didn't have it in Valentine's Day.
I also would have done that.
I saw one where a couple have them with their dog in between.
You can put dog or no, each person can get a pet if you want.
But I said this was a couple that had a dog in between them.
It was the one I saw.
Yeah, would you make your own?
Yeah, I can't give you like a dog for me in a rabbit
for her or something like that on each, you know, on, you'll be on the right side.
So I'll probably do one of those two where we did a couple and then, you know,
but I'm trying to, I tried to find one that was like, um, hardcover cases for the two
because I got them for ours, the single ones, you know, so we have it on the mantle.
She liked it.
Nice.
I was mentioning that our guest, Levine, she was in one of my favorite shows.
The Terminator of the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Oh, I wish you.
Yes, I love that show.
She was on, uh, uh, uh, Trudetective 2.
Oh, was she really?
Yeah, all right.
Yeah, she's been on a few things.
We love it when we have people sit down with us.
That's why it's, this is I, we say it all the time on the show.
We love doing live remote shows.
Yeah, we love this.
This is one of, you know, I mean, it's a little labor intensive.
I'm not going to lie to you.
But once we get on the air and we pull the train out of the station, here we go.
Yeah, you know, now afterwards, we've got to tear all this stuff down.
Yeah, which I'm glad you're going to be here for.
Oh, yes, I am, uh, because it's going to take two trips.
Okay, and I only got one dolly.
Okay, so, uh, I should have brought both of my dolly, but, uh,
like I said, we're experimenting with new tech tonight.
We had one thing we were trying to do did not work out like I wanted it to,
but I think we can make some tweaks and still make that happen.
Coming up next month, May 18th to Saturday,
we will be at Garland High School for the real owl film festival,
which I am very, it's one of my favorite things we do every year.
We get to talk to the, the future of film.
And of course, we, the great Patty Schubert's right over there.
I'm Mr. Schubert.
I get the logistics ironed out for that.
Exactly.
But no, uh, you know, they're, they're happy to see us.
I kind of said, I just saw Mr. Schubert there too a second ago.
So, who do you see?
Mr. Schubert.
Oh, Mr. Schubert.
Yeah.
Hey, let's walk through some second kind of way,
but I have to see him and we'll get off the air and discuss the whole thing.
But we'll, we'll get set up and we'll do the 18th and stuff.
Good time.
As always.
And I talked to them in North Texas.
We're going to have a couple more this year.
Adding in to help out.
Good.
Like John Dotson, the, um, one of our members there, the, uh, he said he's going to make it now.
So yeah.
So why not help him?
It's the future.
This is, this is kind of our busy season.
Yeah.
April made June kind of our busy season of.
And then, you know, uh, July is going to be kind of wacky.
I've got, oh,
fills in the chat room.
Hey, brother.
Good to see you.
It felt.
God, there's a lot going on in July too.
That I'll be involved in.
But that's why I'm like, I'm glad the shows are on Thursdays now.
Because, you know, I've got two shows in, I got,
now I got Dallas comic show this weekend.
So I'm very much looking forward to.
We've got, uh, Retro Expo coming up in July.
We got Greater Austin coming up in July.
I got Giganticon coming up in October.
Just had Hill Country had a blast.
There might be a couple of other things coming up too possibly.
You know, one thing, you know, one thing's for sure, Don.
Yeah, nothing's for sure.
Uh, taxes, but even your taxes are never for sure.
Uh, Father, sometimes you get back.
Sometimes you know, Father, time being undefeated.
He always undefeated.
Yes.
And we also know that the greatest power couple of all time is Father,
time in Mother Nature.
We know that.
Is there anything?
Uh, I did see that the trailer for season three of Welcome to Rexima's Up.
I did not see that yet.
Comes week after next brother.
So it's about 10 days away then.
Yep.
I, I, I'm curious if I'm going to be on that show or not.
Yeah, I think you will be.
I, that would fit me out.
Yeah.
You saw the big news the other day.
What's that?
They're moving up again.
Did they, they got promoted for two years in a row, brother?
And that's one thing I love about like the English football season system.
I mean, like you got the Premier League.
You got the other leagues.
And how Rexim moved up from, you know, to a level this year.
Now they're moving up next year.
The thing is that I love how
teams can move up and down in, in a Premier League.
And I like, I think we should do it in American sports.
Yeah.
Just imagine if, you know, you have a team in that, that would be like,
Chaos galore.
Imagine the three worst teams in the NFL going to the minor league to the US, to like the USFL.
I'm, or yeah, it's the UFL now.
UFL, the USFL.
USFL, the XFL have heard just now the UFL.
I'm here for it.
I've said this for years.
I want this to be a thing.
Now did you see the thing about the, the game in Brazil?
No.
So the game they're going to be playing in Brazil this fall.
We will not have a home team.
The Packers would have been.
But the stadium they are playing this game in.
It's a soccer stadium.
And their sock teams color is that same green.
And they don't want anybody else in that stadium wearing green.
So the Packers are having to alter their uniforms.
Because they were the way white.
And I want to say they're playing the Eagles too.
Oh my gosh.
Alex is green is banned.
Well, because they were having to alter, don't they have a throw,
but I'll go through back away Jersey.
That's all white or something like that.
Yeah, you also got to talk about the helmets.
You know, it's, and it's the Eagles and the Packers.
So both of them are going to have to change everything up.
But don't they have some kind of old throwback helmet they could do?
Maybe they would.
They've always, both of them have always had green in their in their helmets.
No, I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, the Packers still have the same helmets they had in the past.
Yeah, but I'm just saying I didn't know.
Because you know, there's such a team that's gone back so far.
And you look like the like the Denver Broncos.
And how their team has always their helmets changed throughout the years.
That's not a bad thing though.
I remember the one with the low, you know, just the donkey that's orange.
And they had the one with the D that was blue and orange.
You know, so I mean, there's times where they kind of flip around and stuff.
I mean, even the old stiller helmets so too.
I mean, Phil says the Eagles versus green bag and the NFL didn't realize they couldn't wear a green.
That is that that is the $10,000 question.
You know, and it's like, I think a simple Google search probably would have figured that out.
Maybe it's just me.
So do you?
Okay, because I've said, I love that they're going international.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, I love it.
And people love that they were in Germany in week nine last year.
But, you know, that's how I think if the UFL does,
there's so much thing with the contracts and stuff like that that these teams have.
UFL or the NFL, okay.
And how they, you know, have a stadium deals and all that stuff.
And then the revenue and the TV rights and these things are like,
some, some deals are for the next 10 years.
You know, do you think that maybe if you're the commissioner and say, we're going to work
out a plan now, where the bottom three go to the UFL and the top three go.
Do you think that'd be possible or would there be lost sickle or us?
Unfortunately,
the way the contracts are set up, I don't, if it hasn't happened by now,
because remember, we had NFL Europe.
Okay.
The world league became NFL Europe, which originally was intended to be like a minor league for the NFL.
And that fell apart.
I don't know that it's feasible any time soon.
It would have to take because you're talking about livelihoods, you're talking about paychecks,
you're talking about guys with contracts that wouldn't facilitate a minor league type team.
So, and plus guys that have guaranteed money.
Well, I can't remember what they talked about in Rexham.
The lower you are, the less money you have to work with.
Yeah.
So, the logistics of that, I think, would be a nightmare.
I would love to see it.
Don't get me wrong.
I think it's a great, fantastic idea.
I just think in American sports, it's not something that's feasible,
especially with the way contracts have gone.
And then you got to look at that.
Okay, people get season tickets and they buy sweets and everything like that too.
Well, like in Dallas at the Death Star.
Now, this is when they first opened it, when I toured it.
Sweets were on a 15 year lease.
You couldn't go here by year.
So, you're committed for a decade and a half.
And you have to just imagine that Dallas got knocked down for two years.
It's time to lose its mind.
First of all, yeah.
And then, you know, and here's the thing is that like when we would direct some,
you know, which the tickets were for a game, $1,000,000, $20 pounds.
So, that's what?
$10 American?
No, no, probably about $25, $20.
Oh, I thought it was the other way.
No, no, no, the pounds were more than the dollar.
Okay, but still, $30, $20, $20, $20, $25, $30.
No, I said.
Now, just imagine if you're to try to play a, you know,
if they moved up, now you try that Chelsea.
Our tickets, different story because they're in that premiere league.
Well, yeah, and imagine then if like Dallas goes down,
they could start charging less, they make them start charging less for those tickets
because they're in a lower, lower tier or something like that.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, they go nuts on that on the, but you know, like Manchester Stadium,
some of these, like, that's the thing about them really.
We saw the Manchester United Stadium.
High dollar, it rivals Jerry.
For those of you that don't understand the high dollar of menu,
you can buy a Lego set of their stadium.
That's how highfalutin menu.
Now, Manchester United is.
And what if they have one for Chelsea?
I don't know.
Off to the Google edge.
Box will tell you that.
I know.
I could tell you they just released a set that I would love to have.
It's the Gotham skyline from Batman, the animated series.
Oh, it looks amazing.
Very on board with it.
That's why it goes.
Yeah, that's probably what $8,000 more than likely.
$70,000 pieces, nine grand.
I remember Legos used to be a few bucks.
Now you go in the Lego store now.
Lego.
Yeah.
The sequel, the plural of Lego is still Lego.
It is not Legos.
I learned that.
Well, technically, yeah.
And a Lego person will correct you.
Trust me.
But am I known for my language ability?
You're not wrong.
That's a fair point.
Oh, looks like we have somebody coming.
Well, you have to hear.
Okay.
Because this is a, we have a single guest.
Come sit.
We do not bite and less provoked.
So.
Goodness.
Get right on top of that thing.
Tell everybody who you are.
Cause we're, and look at the, see the light up dot.
That's where we're at.
Okay, the light up dot.
Yeah, right there.
We have, we have video rolling.
We're high for looking at the.
We're on the way to get the Rebel Medallion.
Oh, okay, fair enough.
Hi, I'm John McGaraugh.
I'm here with Loroid Texas.
Loroid Texas, the.
Mistaken identity gone horribly wrong film.
All right.
On your point.
Yeah, that's how you feel about that.
Tell everybody about the film.
Cause I did my reading off on it.
I want to hear it from your point of view.
Yeah.
So Loroid Texas is a dark comedy.
It's in the way.
I mean, I'm not going to push you foot around it.
It's in the vein of a Cohen brothers kind of early.
Cohen brothers film in the vein of blood simple or fargo.
But it's about a guy who's a real pushover.
Kind of wet blanket whose life is falling apart.
He finds out his wife is cheating on him.
His high school friend tells him about this.
And through a series of, you know, comedy of errors,
he is mistaken for a hitman and he goes down this rabbit hole of
trying to find out who the real killer is and what's going on.
And eventually coming out of a shell and being more than just the pushover.
You're also a producer on the film.
Yeah.
If I saw correctly, that's true.
How do you separate the two?
That's hard in indie film.
It's really hard.
In the, in the film, especially when you work with these kinds of budgets,
which really aren't that much, it's already kind of all hands on deck
when you're shooting and even before you're shooting and even after you're shooting.
So when you're there and you're also the lead and it's, it's kind of impossible.
You know, it's like cut and then it's like, well, what fire do I need to put out now?
And then it's like action and then you're there.
And so, so maybe in a good way, it really keeps you out of your head as an actor.
Because your, your, your, your head is your, uh,
and maybe because Ray is such a chaotic character, it was, it was okay.
But, um, I also feel like I've been doing this long enough that, uh, you know,
I felt in a place in, in my career where I was comfortable kind of wearing the boat, both hats.
I, I, I, it's been a rough day.
I have done that.
That's the third time I've lost my trade of thoughts.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Um, so you said it is tough to do.
Yeah.
Which do you prefer?
Uh, you prefer just like, let me get in front of the camera and do my thing.
Or do you like being more behind the scenes?
I, I, I, I, I like them, I like them both.
Like, I don't see myself.
I'm gonna, I, you know, I still got to pay my bills right now.
I do that is through acting and I still really love acting.
So I, I think that's still going to be the focus.
But, um, I think as an actor, you got to constantly be learning.
You got to, got to constantly be challenging yourself.
Um, you often see that actors also write and direct or, you know,
cobble wood or whatever the fuck they did.
They do something.
Sorry, I'm not swear, but whatever they do, they always find something else to do
because I think it's very important for an actor to also stimulate their mind
in other, uh, capacities.
Um, so I'm glad that I found producing because it's something that I really enjoy.
It still feels creative and I feel like in, in the film, you know,
it really takes all these people to make it happen.
So if I use whatever resources I have developed in, in my years doing this,
I, you know, I'm excited to make that a habit.
My, my co-host is not here tonight.
That's Don's our fact checker.
Oh, my, my co-host Alex is actually in the chat room.
He's watching remotely and he just said that you are crazy talented.
And now he's mad he's not here.
So I want to make sure that you got your flowers on.
Oh, thank you.
What, what brought you to this script?
What about this script that I need to make this?
Well, like I said, um, you know, it,
Harkens back to our early co and brothers and now they go and,
but brothers are separated if not divorced.
Um, so I keep telling myself this is a type of cinema that we don't really get to see anymore.
And I, I see young folks coming out of film schools who
now I think look at it's funny because you see like people are ageing critics and stuff like that.
Sort of sort of, um, brush it aside because it has those influences.
But I, I think a lot of people forget that that is like part of came out
almost 30 years ago, which is mind blowing.
Yeah. So this is kind of a dated style of film.
And I can't name many films in the current, but it holds up.
What, what Fargo?
No, just that nobody does those kind of things, but those.
No, no, no, no, that kind of change.
That's what I'm saying, which is surprising me is there's not more of it.
These are films that, yes, that I love.
I guess because there's not enough explosions or whatever.
Like, but they hold up and they're captivating stories because they go back to that kind of hard boiled
nor pop thing that really, you know, made Hollywood Hollywood.
Oh, you're in my wheelhouse.
Film noir is my jail.
And that's what they're doing.
That's what this is doing.
So, you know, it's strange that that is falling out of fashion.
So I was really excited to be able to sort of play in that world and also
reintroduce it to younger folks who are, you know, just discovering cinema.
Was there a film that you saw that you can point to and say, I want to do that?
Oh, there's a lot, there's a lot, there's a lot, there's a lot, there's a lot.
I really struggle with those kinds of questions.
Like, what's your favorite film?
What inspired you?
It's ever changing and there's been so many little films along the way.
Do you remember the first one?
I mean, the first, I want to do that.
Like, I want to be an actor on film.
Yeah, like seeing a movie or a TV show and that, like telling you,
it was the heavens opened and the angels sang.
And it wasn't really filmed for me.
It was really like local theater.
I grew up in Cleveland.
Okay, because the idea where I grew up, you know, outside of Cleveland,
the idea of being a film actor was so alien,
but I was able to see regional theater and community theater.
And that seemed accessible and possible for me.
So I remember seeing friends do that.
That was sort of the first in.
Then there were movies I love,
but it just seems so far away for me.
Another one of my favorite questions
that's especially actors.
Yeah.
When you need inspiration,
is there a specific film or genre or director
or that you go to to kind of get those creative juices flowing?
That's always different.
Especially if I'm,
it depends on what I'm trying to get inspired.
Okay, that's fair.
Um, um, you know,
Pearl Roy, there was a lot of country music listening.
Okay.
So, so really depends on the film, the style of the film,
the story that's being told, um,
yeah, it's all over the map.
And I like that answer because it's some,
I know, I know some people that are like,
this is my go-to.
Although it's like you said,
when somebody asks, what's your favorite film?
I'm like, I can't have like,
I can tell you that I think that Godfather is the perfect film.
It's, you know, it's, uh, yeah, but I don't know.
It's my, it's not the film I've seen more times than it.
Like I can name academic films that I really love and that are great,
but like,
favorite.
That's, yeah, it's the hardest question ever,
because like, do we go by era?
Do we go by genre?
Do we go by?
Then it's hard.
Yeah.
It's such a, it's a genre favorite actor,
because listen,
every actor has some stinkers.
The only one who probably doesn't have a stinker is John Cazal.
Maybe because every show we did got novice for best.
Yeah, sure.
I mean, the longer we make me hate a character.
As much as I hate Frado.
That's the all you need to know.
He was, he was one of the greatest.
And they just did a documentary about him a few years ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
About how much he was loved on every segment.
Everyone was in.
Yeah.
Like, Pacino, that was Pacino's best friend.
Yeah, yeah.
And they were, for Der Hunter,
the, the, the Europe,
but his, his, uh, salary or something on the line for his insurance
because he already had cancer.
It's, oh, yeah.
It shows how much he was,
and he, it was great, because he was so,
oh, yeah.
I guess that the godfather to me is the perfect film.
Yeah, it's great.
Have you ever done the epic?
Yeah, actually, you know what?
Oh, I first got introduced to it was the epic.
Because I, I got that.
So, so again, like I was saying, I grew up in Cleveland.
I'm watching, you know, big cineplex things.
I didn't really fall into cinephile.
And I don't even think you can consider the godfather.
That's just popular cinema.
Um, uh, but the first way I got into that was I went to blockbuster.
And I got the epic and the way it was on video.
Because I, of course, because I was,
I need this blue right.
I need this blue right.
Yeah, it's not out.
So I watched that.
And then it wasn't until after that that I went and watched,
you know, how it, the originals of like one, two,
the way the epic's done.
Like when HBO first started their streaming service,
they had it.
Oh, so it was in 1080p.
And it was, we just had a bunch of people over on a Saturday
and just powered through all seven hours.
Oh, just like, I liked, I'm one of the very few people
that I like to choose wonderful.
I prefer the first one.
There's a lot of people that would write the crime blasphemy at that.
I don't think it's blasphemy.
I think, I mean, two is really, really, really great.
It's great.
It's great.
Shots works are like so wonderful in that.
Like there's just so many and, and John,
because I'll really shines in two.
Yes.
But then yeah, it's hard to say that, you know,
maybe that's why you mix them together.
I don't know because there's really great stuff in all.
I love you.
It's, they're both really great films.
Three, obviously, we have some questions about.
Alex also talking about you playing the young Silvio
in the many scenes of Newark.
Thank you.
A very cool.
And that you crushed it.
Some people don't think so.
But thank you, Alex.
I mean, the guy knows cinema.
He's like, go host.
He's one of my best friends.
You know, when we were doing that and superannos,
you're talking about performance.
So I couldn't name.
I can cite the superannos as one of those types of performances
that made me be like, I want to do that.
What Jim was doing in that when I was watching that every Sunday,
while I was in high school and through college,
that was the kind of acting.
I was like, that is just honest.
It's real.
It's captivating.
And I was so.
The storytelling of that.
Yeah, well, David, the way the way it takes one,
to me, the wire is one of the greatest series in the history of superannos.
But superannos, I love just as much.
But the way that man knows how to take a story.
Yeah.
Like you want to get there, but he's like, no, no, no.
I'm going to take you on this ride.
Because he's, you know, he, again, he's in a lover of filmmaking.
And it's that kind of storytelling.
True, a tour cinema.
And I think that's why, again,
it becomes polarizing because some people don't like where I go, blah, blah, blah.
But like, I, I loved it.
And all the way to the end.
But playing that role, thank you again, Alex.
But like, we, all of us who were going in with those roles,
we all were like, this is, this is a unwinnable task.
But we, we did it.
Is there anything that's coming down the pipe that you're looking forward
to seeing just as a moviegoer?
I was just talking about Francis Ford Coppola.
I want to see Megaloppa.
I've been reading a lot about that.
I'm very curious to, to see, and the fact that he self-financed it.
And sold as a vineyard to do it.
I mean, I'm very curious to see that.
And we're just now starting to get some early rumblings.
Yeah, that's going to be, that's going to be an exciting one, one to see.
That's probably one to one that I'm most looking forward to right now.
Yeah, this is, this has been a very interesting year for film so far.
The, 2024 or last year, 2023?
2023 was all over the place because we were still trying to get the world back to normal.
But we had, it was huge because of the barbed-himer thing and, yeah.
But this, this year's been very, it's been a roller coaster so far.
I think of just, there's been some great stuff and there's been stuff that I'm like,
well, we're early, we're early.
This is now where the, where the real things start to come out and start to break.
So we'll, we'll see what happens.
What kind of things do you do to get away from it all?
I cook. That's what I do. I'm a food lover.
Oh, yes.
I love it too much.
But you are, you want to talk about food?
You're in the town.
Yeah, yeah.
I just had a nice prime rib over where it was, that was pretty good.
Food, I cook, look at recipes, go to the market, just come up with ideas.
That's my, that's my escape from it.
Yeah, let's get back to the film,
who's anywhere that you're here to promote.
I just, I'm all over the place when I hear it because I don't want to ask the questions,
like, you get asked, I love that, I love that.
Is this the first time the film's been screened to a, to a audience of strangers?
No, no, no, we've been, uh, so we premiered at Tribeca.
Very nice.
So, uh, a year ago, we played, uh, Doville, we won Doville in France for the, like,
best American film, uh, audience of jury, uh, a few weeks ago,
we were at the Gasparilla in Tampa.
We won that, uh, so we've had a really good run.
We played a lot of festivals and we've gotten a lot of great notices.
So far, people seem to respond, be, be responding to it.
Um, yeah, it's been, uh, it's been a good run.
We're out now, actually.
We released last week.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
So, uh, if you can't make the festival, please go on your,
your device and, uh, pay, uh,
L-A-R-O-Y, Texas.
Yeah, I need your money.
Please have a daughter after, give, feed.
Yeah, it's true.
A wheel's off.
Is it, is it hard for you to watch it?
Yeah, as you did the intro, you're here.
So the movie's going right now.
Yeah, I usually, I really don't watch, especially with a crowd.
This one has been a little bit different for me.
Um, you know, like something like past lives, which was last year,
I've never seen that with an audience.
I've only seen that in a screening room with my wife, uh, that was it.
And, uh, but this one, I think because I produced it as well,
I, it's, I have a different of, you know, different bit of skin in the game.
So I'm a little more inclined to watch it.
I also honestly think that this is a very watchable movie.
I think it's one of those movies that, you know, it's dark, but it's enjoyable.
You can watch it multiple times.
There's big laughs in it.
You know, it, it's heavy, but not in like an oppressive way.
Uh, and I know that's sometimes what we need.
But also it's not just like candy.
There's something more to it.
So that's why I think it's kind of that great balance of drama and comedy.
Will you be doing a Q&A after the film?
Yeah, I'm going to be here.
How, how many of those have you been doing and how has that been going?
Uh, have you done it for every screening?
No, no, I, I, I've been working a lot.
So I actually haven't been able to go to, in fact, Shane,
adkins, he, our director, director is in, uh, is in France right now,
because it's coming out of France this week.
And, uh, he's there and I couldn't go because I'm actually working on something right now in New
York.
So I couldn't go all the way there, but I was, uh, luckily, I was able to come here.
Oh, we're glad you're here.
Yeah.
But I gotta be back on Monday morning working again.
Yeah, right back on the plane.
Yeah, yeah.
How's the experience of the festival been for you?
I mean, I just got here, but it's great.
You know, I've been here before.
I came here, uh, I want to say,
2015, uh, the big short was here.
So I came here with that.
And I also had a film here the year before, a short film, uh,
called the one our man based on a Horton foot short play called, called the one.
Second name, uh, I've got the only one that has a brain lock.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It didn't late.
Let me give me a feel better.
So, uh, uh, that was here and I, I've been here once before.
So it's, it's nice to be back.
I know you got to go maybe take a breather for you have to go in for Q&A.
I'll stay here.
Who can we interview next?
But I always like to end our time together with with shameless self promotion.
So after today, if people want to get in touch with you,
touch with like social media,
website, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They still get their eventually.
I'm in the yellow pages.
Like, where can they find you online?
Where can they, uh, for the show?
Everything.
Oh goodness, uh, for the time.
Well, you know, if you, I love, if I'd love for you,
if you, I, I hope you will go watch this.
You know, you can get it on Amazon Apple TV.
So it's already streaming as well.
YouTube.
Yeah, yeah, you can get it.
So you can go to any of those any of your, uh, platforms.
I, you know, I think it will be in a few months.
If you, you don't want to pay, it will be on one of those platforms to watch at your,
at your leisure.
It's very affordable.
The stream.
It is.
And it's, and it, and it would be very nice if you did that, um,
and little films like this need that, you know,
we need people to go out and support them.
Uh, and, uh, I recently, uh, the director of past live,
Celine Song insisted I, I was not on a social media,
but she insisted I joined, uh, Instagram.
So I'm on Instagram.
I don't even know.
I don't know what my, uh, something with my last name.
Well, they can, they can just, they can just do the search by your name.
They should come up.
It's a very boring Instagram.
So, hey, I, I, I want to be surprised.
If you don't want to follow it.
No, it's all right.
Yeah, what it's there.
It's there.
Yeah, I tried to like post if something's coming out.
Anything coming up you want to talk about?
Uh, I, I, I had a busy year.
I had a lot of exciting stuff.
Uh, the next one is probably a film called September 5th,
which is about the Munich Olympic massacre.
Sean Penn and Paramount were producing on that.
Uh, Peter Saras guard me and Ben Chaplin.
Uh, I didn't know the great filming.
You talk on Omaha, uh, right now I'm working on a film in New York, uh,
Maggie Jellin Hall's new film called The Bride.
Nice with, uh, Christian Bale and, uh, Jesse Buckley and, uh, great cast,
Penelope Cruz, uh, we're working on that now.
And I'll be, you know, you can see that in about six years.
Film goes.
Don's got something to say.
Okay.
This is done, by the way.
This is, okay, the last time I've done this, when I asked,
I actually asking your question to the talent was when we had going more shower
from 24 on years ago.
So it's been a while since I've done this.
I just got one question for you.
I love you.
I love that show oranges and new black.
Give me one of the most surprising facts about that show that people
would have no idea about or one of the weird parts.
Or just you got into that.
What's surprising?
It's a family show, doc.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
Oh, say I already swore.
Uh, I think we get one.
It's like the PG third.
Oh, is that okay?
Yeah.
Uh, something surprised you.
Yeah, no idea.
You got in there or, well, that people had no idea about that show.
You know, it's, it's hard for me because I was so in and out of it.
You know, I would come, I would, I would come in.
I, I, this might surprise.
Okay, this is something I get surprising.
When I got the job, I didn't know how, where it was going to go.
I didn't know I was going to be on more than one episode.
Okay.
I mean, there was, there was discussion of maybe we'll bring you back,
but I got that audition.
Like the night before I want to say something like that.
Like I got, they're like, can you come in for, there's a part
they want you to come in for orange isn't it, but I went and I did it.
And they're like, okay, great.
Now you're going to work tomorrow.
And I did that and they're like, it may become recurring,
but I didn't know that would last the entire series.
No, so that developed.
So what, and I never knew what was going to happen.
I didn't find out that they were getting married or any of that stuff
until it was happening.
But that was one of those shows.
It was, it was really, I was really lucky to be a part of it.
It was such a, you know, obviously it's an iconic show,
but it was one of those sets that was just always such a joy
to come back to and, you know, was it in a prison?
Were they filmed a lot of it or was it?
No, it actually, they filmed in both a stage,
like a built-in thing.
And the prison grounds were actually a form of mental institute.
Yeah, like sometimes they use old prison stuff.
This was a form of mental institute.
Right, that's a, yeah, yeah.
I appreciate it, thank you, though.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Thank you so much, sir.
Thanks for coming in.
Appreciate you.
And hope the Q&A goes well.
