It is the fourth of April in the year of our Lord
2014
Which to those of you listening to this show are going
Rob did I this in meeting?
Is it not normally Sun Day when we do this?
Well yeah it is but
When you have nice, like, tonight, you make exceptions.
But club houses live on the air
We welcome each and every one of you
Do you matter how you're listening, whether you're listening live, right here on YouStreen?
Whether you're listening on our archive
Maybe you subscribe on iTunes
news. Maybe you do a combination of all three. We don't care how you listen. We're
just glad you're here. My name is Rob. I'm going to feel really good right now. It's
a very special day. Because we are live tonight and we as we'll be next Friday as
well from the lounge at the Dallas International Film Festival. This thing kicked off
last night. We're going to talk about that a little bit later. We got to go around
the table. Joining me to my right as he does normally across the desk, but we only
have one table and it would look really weird if he was facing the other way. Although
someone argue that's probably the better angle. He also produces this show. He is my
friend. He is my co-host. He is Chad Womack. Good evening sir. Good evening to you sir.
You're going to be kind of froggy tonight. It's going to be a good night. Because the
empire is actually represented on both sides of the lounge. Currently spinning
tunes friends of the friend of the show Dev and Pike getting it down over there. He
means probably going to come on a little bit later and hang out with us. Also joining
us across from Chad. Theater of the mind. He is the official fact checker of the show.
You may know him as fun. Don go. But his mom and even Tom Ford. I'm going to call him
Don Ford. Welcome to the show sir. Wait, wait, are you on the other way around that one?
I'm not going to go. There we go. You're good. You're good. We're good. We're at the
champ. That's all I have to say. I know man. It's this is our third night, but second
night, officially the festival. I'm very excited. We got a special guest right off the bat.
People. I saw the film and we'll be discussing our first standing. Now normally we
start to show with corrections, but we don't have any from last week. So we're good there.
So let's go ahead and dive right into this thing.
Joining us right now. I mean, I don't know what you like in a few minutes. I mean, right
now right now. Just come fresh off the first of two screenings of his film. The film
it's called the Buffalo. I've got my cheat sheet because I really don't want to screw this up.
I'm probably and you're going to have to forgive me ahead of time. I'm going to try your last
sailing with a guy. It was my same as Irvin. I get it all the time. Is it a John Fiege?
Fiege? Fiege. Let me give you some more of all your microphone. Try that again for me.
Yes, there we go. Now we got you. First of all, we want to talk about this film because it
is a Texas product. We we originate in Texas. We love to support everything that is our home
state. And as I was reading more about the film, it's screen today at four o'clock in
screen tomorrow morning. Two. Two in the afternoon. Right here. We're just where we are.
We're right by the Angelica film center. We're about a block from it. Just fresh off the
screening before we get into the film. Let's talk about the screening. How did it go?
It was great. We got another very enthusiastic audience at the premiere of the film a few
weeks ago. There are some folks yelling at the screen toward the end of the movie. Wow.
Pretty much every screening has been passionate and people make a lot of noise during
the film and stick around for the Q&A and ask a lot of impassioned questions.
So how many times have you screened the film including this one? We've premiered it south
by Southwest a few weeks ago. Oh, standing and played three times there and then we played
in Atlanta earlier this week. And this is only the fifth screening anywhere. And it's
the playing in tomorrow here and then in Sarasota, Florida. Oh, my home state. I'm on the
other coast of it, but I know Sarasota well. Let's talk about the film. David Daniel
retired high wire Walker. If I was going to put three words, I didn't think I'd put
together in a sentence today. Those would be them. He lives out in, is it East Texas?
Yep. Where in East Texas? Because when people that don't live here, because we are worldwide,
God bless the internet, when you live in Texas, you can't just say I live in, I live, you have
the geographically. It's the size of France. But where in East Texas is he live? David,
right, that's how Winsboro, Texas, which is a real small town about two and a half hours East
of Dallas. Okay, so you're almost in Louisiana by that point. Not too far away. I spend some time
in orange, just right in your bone. Yeah, it's deep in East Texas, you know, there's just farms
and woods. So he lives out there. Apparently, not real happy. Now, how long ago did you film this
before we would get really deep into it? We started shooting in the fall of the spring of
2012. Okay, so pretty much, you were not too far removed. No, not at all. And we stopped shooting
about a year ago. The Keystone XL pipeline, which is in the news right now, they're trying to
claim eminent domain on his property. And what that means is that the government comes through,
when they go look, we got to build something, your house is in the way, you know, kind of like
to be getting of the hitchhikers guy to the galaxy. If you know, if you know those books series,
that's how the book kind of starts. But this is real life. And as you would assume, this does not
sit well with him. This is my land. This is where I live. You're not going to put an oil pipeline
through my house. So he starts to, if I'm reading correctly, is that me? Okay, he's kind of rallying
his neighbors and such. And I want you to talk a little bit more about it because it's your film.
So feel free. Yeah, David got off the road about five years ago as a high wire artist and
stuntman and decided to find a quiet, peaceful place where he could have this kind of sustainable
life with nature out in these texts. And he found out pretty soon after he moved there that there
was this pipeline going through. And at first he didn't even know what it was. And he was upset that
there were going to be cutting down the forest that he had moved there for. But then the more he
learned about the project, he realized that it was going to be transporting tar sands oil from
Alberta, which is considered the dirtiest, most polluting, unconventional oil in the world. Nice.
And he then decided to really fight the project. So we don't want to give away the thing,
because we want people to see the film. Have you been able to keep up with him since making
the film? Can we say as there have been headway made? Headway with what? For his cause.
Well, the what happened was that President Obama delayed the international permit for the
keystone XL pipeline for about a year starting during the election year. And of course, of course,
and then he fast tracked the southern leg of the keystone XL pipeline in the spring of 2012.
So that didn't require an international permit. It was only going to go from Oklahoma to the
Texas Gulf Coast. So that it was the building of that portion of the pipeline that we were filming.
Okay. And that became operational in January of this year. So oil is now flowing from
cushing to the Texas Gulf Coast. When I was reading about this, I'm very, very fascinated by this.
What brought you to this project? About four and a half years ago, I got cancer. Oh,
I'm sorry to hear that. And I didn't know if I was going to live for very long. And I said,
if I could do any film, if I could do any project, what would it be? And I really wanted to do a film
that examined what can we do about this problem that impacts all of us? That we're so as a
culture and as an economy, we're so dependent on oil with everything we do. But what can we do about
it? So I went out searching for how do we deal with the saturation of our lives by oil
that causes cancer and it causes climate change and all these other things. And so I started hunting
for a story when I heard about the keystone XL pipeline that seemed like a real big shift in the
conversation where people were saying, we're not just going to go ask our politicians anymore to
do something about this. We're going to get out in the streets and in the woods and we're going to
stop things ourselves and we're going to build a mass movement around dealing with these issues.
Wow. That's one way to get motivated. I just, I don't get speechless on this show real
why. You shouldn't, we have some drugs with filmmakers on and this is a bad project and
you just fold both barrels. But don't you saw the film? Love it. Tell me about it.
Going in, you always hear about the news what's going on but we see the real life effect of the
people of what's happening to these people. This is their land. This guy had a beautiful thing.
We're about a little stream and the pipe is going right over that little stream and it's
because guy by how many acres was it? John, buddy, why did you say that? I don't remember.
But he bought some woodland and stuff because he wanted to get away from everything.
Have a nice little place and it shows the toll what they go through. The personal toll of
this whole thing when your land's being taken and this guy gets ingenious and this is the big
part of the film and stuff and I think this has been on the news so this isn't going to be
spoiler. People's tree houses in the tree so they can't turn the trees down.
And the problem I'm seeing on IMDB if I'm not mistaken is him in the tree.
Yeah. And so on where the eminent of the main went through, he built trees so they can
not go through that park that was, you know, eminent of the main for the pipeline so they can
start turning it down. And people are like living there and stuff and I found the guy, you
felt bad for him. I really did because this guy's put up a fight but then he came down to,
you know, personal issues or this and you can see how big oils just takes a toll on this guy.
When your single guy, you know, will Dave that in fact, David's kid trying to take on galice,
you know, big brother is what it is. And it's very emotional. I found it very entertaining.
It wasn't dragging anything. You know, our little standard to how we great this.
Absolutely. And for those with at our first time listeners to the show, it's a two-prong review.
Question one, is would you watch this film again? And if the answer is no, then we're pretty
much done with it. But if the answer is yes, then this follow-up question is, if you were to watch
this film again, how would you watch it? Would you pay for it and first run? Would you watch it
at a matinee, twilight, yada yada down to red box? So, Don, would you watch this film again?
Oh, definitely. I'm standing. And I would, I'd probably see it in, in possibly a twilight,
but I'd recommend it for a full full full full night time screening. And available again,
you'll be showing it tomorrow afternoon at the Dallas International Film Festival.
Night to tonight, we're going to talk more about it later, because we're going to keep having
here as long as we can. As long as he wants. Because he, you know, he's a busy guy, you know,
he's gone. I said, what a guy. Kevin, I keep thinking of Marvel. I got Marvel on the brain lately.
And your name is spelled kind of like Kevin Figgies. So yeah, so I got Marvel on the brain.
I was totally impressed as a critic. You have an incredible work out there. And you
felt the motion from the audience. Just, you hear the remarks and stuff. And you got
a crebble piece. And I think, you know, you're going to get that word out there for those people.
We're going to be personally affected by this. Speaking of which, where does the film go from here?
The film is playing it a lot of festivals right now. We'll be in Sarah Sodom next week. We'll be
in South Carolina at the Integrates Festival soon. We're going to be in Toronto at Hot Docks.
In about a month, we're going to be in Portland at their eco film series. Very nice and August.
And so we're just rolling it out right now. The best place to find out where it's playing is the
website, above all else, film.com. Outstanding. And we got Facebook page right now. It's showing them
awesome. Manyapolis, they're on there. Yeah, manyapolis. So it's like you're touring it, right?
You're getting a geographically desirable. So you're not. It's like, you know, it's I always joke
about the NASCAR thing. You start in Daytona. And then you go to California. And then you go to
Atlanta to Alabama. Like, do you guys have a map? You go with the wind taking this. Yeah, exactly.
Well, you're actually able to plan this. So it's, so you can kind of keep things kind of in a nice
line. So that you're not all over the place. Well, not exactly. It's more, you know, festivals accept us.
And they call us. And we say, okay, great. Always say, oh, sorry, we're busy. Geographic
desirability is a bonus. Right. Okay. Any points for Blu-ray DVD? Yeah. I mean, again, it's one of
those check the website situation because we're trying to keep track of who wants to see the film.
And we don't know exactly yet what platform is going to come out. Come out on. But it's going to be
there's going to be some downloadable version of it. There's going to be a DVD. All those things.
And just if you sign up on our website, we'll, we'll, you know, we'll be in touch once that stuff is available.
Outstanding. You know, I know we've, we've talked about the film, but we also do some headlines as
up and you want to stick around and talk about that with us. You're more than welcome. So you didn't
have one more question point though. Oh, is it? Does he have to get back? Oh, he's got red
carpets more important than us. Trust me. We're just a couple of spares on a podcast. The red carpet is
the red carpet. Thank you all so much. Thank you for having us guys. Check out the film above all else.
Film dot com, you know, for all of our parts of the empire all over the place, you can find out where
the film will be playing near you. Don, love the film. And Don is not an easy critic. That's why
he's the official fact checker this show. Thank you so much for coming join us. Stop it. We're looking forward
to seeing it where the film goes. Have a great night. You do the same. We are live from the Dallas
International Film Festival. We're having some huge stream issues. Hey, real quick. I'm going to,
you know, be at this video fast. I come back and forth. So I'll be back. We know you'll be here because
you better be. And we check out his website at above all else film dot com and his Facebook page
as Facebook dot com forward slash above all else film. We're having some huge stream issues. I
don't know what's going on with the stream tonight. I want to ask him about how he got Darrell
Hannah involved in this because she's issue all over it. Like when when they had to premiere
at South by Southwest, there's a bunch of pictures of her with him. And that's why I was wanting to ask
him about what he had to run. All right, let's get into some headlines. Let me get my headlines
available. It's a busy guy. I mean, he's he's got a pretty impressive resume. And I am
to be alone. He's mainly a cinematographer. But he's got like three including this film to
grow. What a great story. Yeah, no kidding. I think when you have a grass roots effort that
pops up like this and you get some some real steam rolling behind it, that's an impressive. That's
an impressive feed. Here we go. Okay, I think we're back on barbed wire was in the chat room in
a minute ago. Hope he's back. We even have this immune stream issue. So we apologize to members of the
empire. We are here live at the lounge. We're lounging sir as the LL cool J would say. Is that who
would say it? Oh, I don't have a song called that. Who do you love that thing? That was
called lounge. Oh, yes, I'm just not hip anymore. All right, so let's talk movie headlines.
You're sitting down, correct sir. Yes, I mean, I am standing for those of you that cannot see us.
I don't know how you're going to feel about this first story. Okay, MGM, a studio near and
dear to our hearts is working on a live action CGI hybrid for a cartoon.
A cartoon that came from a film franchise that is near and dear to your heart. Okay,
that was ruined for you. The pink Panther is coming to the big screen.
Okay, so the pink Panther himself is coming to the big screen. Correct. Okay, it will be directed by David
Silverman. This might give you a little glimmer of hope sir. You know who he is. David Silverman.
I know John Silverman, not David Silverman. He directed the Simpsons movie. Okay, he also directed
Monsters Inc. What? That's what they said. He was involved in it. Maybe he was just involved in it.
He was involved with it. He was a doctor. Okay. Well, he was he was involved with Monsters Inc.
Okay, so I thought that might give you a little bit of a of a breather for that. The pink Panther.
I enjoyed the cartoons as a kid. I did too, but my only concern is what was the main thing that the Panther
didn't do in the cartoon. Do you live action? He didn't talk.
Well, but didn't he talk in those corning commercials that he did? No, you mean the the insulation
the down there? Yeah, no. I've seen him talk somewhere. I know he'd not be original cartoon,
but they didn't put it. Didn't they do a reboot of it on the night? There's something maybe
if they did a more recent reboot animated series. Maybe he's not then. You can talk about anything
and say, didn't they reboot it? You've got a very good chance of being robbed of it. I'm
reserving judgment for now. You have Dr. Doomcast in your fantastic four movie.
And his name is what? Tony Kibbalon. You don't know him yet, but he's got some big projects coming.
Um, I don't know how I feel about this. Because I guess I need to see more because he just he looks
kind of young and small to me. You know, it's like they have gone out of their way to cast this movie with
I think that the casting director said, okay, this go out and get a bunch of people that no one is ever
heard of in their lives and populate our our our cast with this. There there has been talk of
a use of the Doombots. It's a good friend of ours. We might last night. He was playing you in our
group picture outside of the. That's right. That's who you were last night. So.
Oh, he'll be back in a minute. Okay. Joining us now, sitting across the table is a legend on this show.
He is a great friend of the show. He is a great friend of mine. Don't let it get around. Otherwise,
people actually think I know you guys. He's a man that knows what Ragnarok is. He is Devon Pike.
We were hoping that this is the first time we've been able to see him. But that's okay. It's only three days
three days in. We were just talking about Dr. Doom being cast in fantastic four. Do you have an
extra pair of cans? I can barely hear anything. I didn't bring them with me. I'm deaf. It's too many times
hanging out with musicians and carry it. Yeah, God Almighty. We're talking about the casting of Dr.
You're actually buying into that theory. You've heard the rumor and you're buying into it.
Tony Cabel? Yeah. Tell our people who he is because I don't know enough about him. I don't even feel
comfortable talking about it. Number one, I don't think it's Dr. Doom. I think it's actually going to
be Thanos. I think that they're looking in the wrong place in that. He's from my wife's neck of the
woods. Yeah. He moved to Nottinghamshire. He sounds like he's from London. Yes. Okay. Yeah.
Actually, no, he sounds like he's from Nottinghamshire. I, but there's also talk of Doom
Bots, too. Well, who's the bigger problem here? Tony Cabel or Jamie Bell is the thing.
But see, you can see G. I that. So it's not checklist.
All though, checklist has is the only redeeming quality in either of those films and it was on the DVD.
Give us your time of scenes with gave us Chris Evans. If you can see G,
though, then why bother getting a guy that's skinnier than Mr. Fantastic to play the thing?
But the DVD, actually, they're showing the behind the scenes with the bear and he's in full
costume and goes, time to make sexy time with the bear. That made me laugh. But I wonder if we're
taking too many liberties with this thing. I'll be surprised if it even gets made at this point.
I mean, I know that they've already, they've even set a date for the sequel to be released.
And I think there are too many problems with the cast. There's too many problems with the script.
And I'm really surprised this thing makes it to fruition. I think that the Fantastic for has
been one of those cursed properties that until they until it's it's Sony, right? That's that's
another one of the Sony. I believe that's 20th century Fox. If I'm not mistaken. Okay.
I've clicked on that, sir. Is it the way they check it out? You've got so many problems with it.
And you know, you had the the Tim story films like him just like him. Whatever you want to say,
Galactus is not a black hole. It is one robot in my finger. It's not a robot.
And the silver server's power is not coming from the board. That second film made me so angry.
But Doug Jones does Jones's silver server phenomenal job. He needs to be up. It's still
there's positives. You can take from both of those movies. Just galva. But
dress on a thing. Two positives right there. Hey, now. Hey, no.
No, I'm not going to pay it any mind. I'm seriously not.
From what could be unstable to what will be unstable. Mark April 7th of next year on your calendar.
I can probably mark April 7th from this year. Why? That's on a Tuesday. I don't know. But we will
be getting Paul Bart Malkop too. Oh, yeah. That is happening people. I'm walking away now.
I'm not going back to the booth. I can't wait to see this film.
That first one made a billion dollars and grownups to made ass-ranging amounts of cash over
Pacific Rim which opened the same weekend. So there's an audience for it. They're not here at
the Dallas National Film Festival. They're not. I guess, you know, money money money. Have you seen the
plot synopsis for this thing? Oh, yes. Go ahead and share. Book wasn't ripped share. Sir,
share, please. It follows James Paul Bart who attends a security guard Expo and Las Vegas with
his daughter despite being teased by casino security and other attendees. Bart takes on a group of dangerous
art thieves. Yeah, like on the way. He gets made fun of by the local cops until he proves himself.
You know, me, me, me, me, me. Which do I want to see less? This are taken free.
Because that's happening to his Paul Bart going to throw a punch a bitch. Then find get me taken three.
There's no time. That's taken to his so bad. Oh, so. Okay. All right. It was with all these films.
Paul Bart taken quarantine. Whatever. You know what you're getting into when you walk into the
flick. You know what you're getting into first. So it was so good. Yeah. And so good. And it made it
a money careful. So you really show. So come on. Family show. No, no, no, family, the man's in family.
Yeah. It's okay. It says yes. The bottom line is if it's going to make over what $500 million
international, you're going to get sequels and they're going to be derivative. You know why they're
going to be derivative? Because the overseas audiences want exactly the same thing that they saw
in the previous flick. Yeah. And overseas, especially the last few years. I mean, that's what's
getting us another 10 10 movie. Yep. What is the overseas bottle? That's what's going to get a
specific room to. Oh, we're getting it, sir. Yeah. It's due to that specific room to his
happiness. The specific room to will happen. It's monsters versus robots. Tread to is going to happen.
See, I've got that. I've got the first one in my instant queue. I haven't watched it yet.
I love you. You deny joy. Why do you deny yourself joy? Because I can't find 25 hours of
24 hour a day. I can't even tell you where my DB hard looks like. It's just like it's only about 85
89 minutes. I don't, I don't, I don't think it cracks in an hour and a half. That may be one I have to
watch on my iPad on a weekday or something. That's when you need to watch on a bigger screen. Speaking
of heroes. May the month of May. April showers bring them. On core is going to be superhero intensive
for the entire month of May. Super hero movies every night. And on May 31st, it will be all
superhero movies all day. I'm in on that. Now, you know, we're going to have to kind of go
deep into the well for some of these. But I believe they're going to do all three Iron Man's
back to back because, you know, on course, got that nice little contract where they get to show
all the Disney Flakes. Can they bust out the Roger Corman Fantastic Four? Can we get that? Is that
documentary out yet? It's still in production. I can't wait. Neither can I. Because if you
need more time on that documentary, the performance and more money to boot. Yeah, kidding.
But I don't know what I'm more excited for that or Joe to worst he's doing. Yeah, that I definitely
wanted. I read and they're only doing it for one night at the Angelica next Friday. So I'm hoping
they're going to do a late show so we can do the show and then I can go watch it. Keep an eye out
for the Texas because I think they're going to be showing it around the same period. Really.
Yeah. We tried to get hold of it and they're like, oh, we're going to plant for it. Yeah.
I'm like, how do you not? Because if you haven't seen the trailer for Joe to worst he's doing,
do yourself a solid. This this thing looks so wheels off. If you had a fever dream about making a
movie, this movie that that Joe Rowski's doing was going to be it. It was going to be like 17 hours
long, cost an immense amount of cash. Yeah. Dolly Floyd was going to do the software. Dolly was
going to be in it and was charging them a million dollars an hour. A charter gig or did the character
designs? What could have been? Were you a fan of the original at all? Yes. I like the original.
I don't like the four hour extended cut of it and I've seen like I've seen so many different
Alice Smithy versions of that movie. I like the David Lynch version. Mostly because it's David Lynch's
take on the material. Whether it's skews away from it, whether it cuts corners in the narrative,
I still think that it has a lot of artistic merit. I watch it probably about months and reads
a couple of years. Yeah. As do I. I enjoy it. I definitely enjoy it. Every format that has been released on.
I bought it. 7 pre. I just get to see it and I think it's thing. I hate it.
Now what? I see we've installed your hot. So we have an interesting announcement today about the
possible villain for your next bond film. Did you see this today, sir? Yes. To a tellage of four.
In, in, in, in, in. I like this guy. You can cast him in anything and I'll be happy. You can cast him
as Sue Strom's brother. Yes. Cast him as Jesus. Yes. That's what we're doing. That's what we're doing. No,
it's not. He doesn't have nearly the chopstick as you've heard us. But so I say, but that's the direction
there. I know. I know. But, you know what? Right now with the reboot. I'm so happy. Yeah. I mean,
quantum of solace got a little shaky for me. But. Yeah. You're talking about curve.
Skyfall was so cool. The only thing I haven't, the only, only, only complaint I had about Skyfall
is it wrapped everything into two need of a bow in the last bit to introduce. All right.
This whole show comes the spoiler alert, right? Well, yeah, you must see this movie's been out long enough.
If you haven't seen Skyfall, I'm sorry. I haven't, I'm sorry. We're, we're, we're getting money,
penny, and we get Q, and we get M, and we, we had Q already with Ben Wishaw. But we had M as Ray
finds his character and so forth. It was just, it almost seemed like two tidy and neat of a bow for me.
But everything else about that movie just sings amazing to me. We are broadcasting live, kind of sort of
from the lounge at the Dallas International Film Festival. One of the sponsors of the Dallas International
Film Festival, while we're talking about James Bond is the Alamo draft house. The seventh of every
month, so next next Monday will be the next one. They're doing every James Bond film in order leading
up to the new one, just one of the 90 million reasons I love the Alamo draft house. And this month,
and at the one in Richardson is the salute to 1984. And Chad's not going to be able to see
purple rain there and he's very upset about that. Yes. I've, I've got them some therapy sessions.
I'll be fine. Chad. Yes, sir. I gave a call to my, my buddy, Bill Gidegatono. Uh-huh.
You know who that is right. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's got, I got you a pair of tickets for
pleasure. Not a single one. Now, but you're just going to bless you the show there. We love to,
have them let us do the show there every Sunday. I'd be great. You are the man. So now,
let's just completely deflate everything that Chad believes in. There's a movie being that's now
officially going to be made about the Battle of the Sexes tennis match between Bobby Riggs and
the Legion King. Would you like to venture a guest sir? Who's playing who's playing Bobby?
We don't know Billie Jean King yet, but Bobby Riggs has been attached. Oh, gosh. As long as
it's not will Ferrell, I'm fine with it. It's exactly who it is. And now it's steady on an entertainment
week. We're just flipping you off in my mind. That's happening. You're actually serious. I'm deadly serious.
It's on entertainment week news website right now. I just read the story about an hour ago.
I'm going to have to start drinking again. That's all the sexes. The movie's going to be called
matchmaker. Don't have any breaking news. Oh, we've got another, okay. We've got another film maker
on the way outstanding. Okay. Sure. And you're going to love these days. It's a husband and wife team.
Oh, really? Yes. Always, always interesting when you have husbands and wives working together.
Can I give you a little history on Jesse and John? Please do. John was the press and publicity
director for the festival when it was the AFI Dallas Festival and then made a transition to the
DALS or National Film Festival. They had been working on ladies of the house for the last four
years or so, but nominal flickets having its world premiere here tonight at midnight. And I've got
in trouble for saying the log line of this movie. It's not a spoiler if it's in the poster.
But it's one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in a long time. I'm one of the producers
on it. I actually, I love the concept because you can't get any better than lesbian
cannibal strippers. You really can't. That's just three great tastes that go great together.
And I'm going to go hug Jesse and the so you've earned for a bit. Okay, we will do so. We are
live from the lounge at the Dallas International Film Festival in 2014. Kicked off with a great
media party on Wednesday night that we were able to attend. There's the post on myself. That's
some great great new friends. Fans saw some great friends that we see all the time, including
Devon Pike, old friend of this show. And the film festival goes on until a week from Sunday.
April the 13th, a lot of great films being screened. Monday, night the original in the heat of
the night. We'll be shown very excited about that. And some other things. And we have guests.
Well, that took no time at all. I'm wearing my good clothes. So. I watch the dishes and everything. We have
guests. So Devon, Devon kind of set it up for you guys. Okay. It's what he does. All right.
That's what we love. He has him. Sure. Why not? We have with us two people very involved in a
movie called Ladies of the House. It's screening tonight. You guys are early. Well, you know, we just
got off the red carpet. So we had to be here. And we're just counting the time down now.
Let me make sure I get this right because Lord knows I might pronunciation's been terrible today.
Just seen a wall for John Stuart Wildman. Nothing but that. Tonight. Now. Let's just
start with it with the basic question. Did I hear that I hear Devon right when he said this is
the premiere tonight tonight is the world premiere. Wow. So if you get here tonight, you're going to be
one of the first people publicly to see this film. And if Devon puts his seal of approval on it,
that dude knows film. Yeah. I trust him. I mean, the guy, the guy knows what he's doing. He and I
have debated film on many, many, many occasions. And every once in a while he lets me win. So tell
me about this film because he used three words in succession that now you have my attention.
Which words? Yeah, what were the three words? Zombie cannibal strippers. Not cannibal strippers.
Okay. Cannibal strippers. Okay. All right. It's about a lovely group of women, a family,
not related, the kind of romance of 50s, pin up kind of Norman Rockwell lifestyle. And they also
happen to be strippers, kind of like for less dancers. And they also happen to be cannibals. I mean,
you know, that happens. I call that Thursday. You know. So a couple brothers and their friend
are out on a birthday outing. They follow a girl home. They talk their way into her house. And
now they may be invited for dinner. For dinner. I see what you did there.
I'm with you. I'm with you. So tell me. It was tonight being the world premiere. What is
or will there be Q&A? Tell me what you've got planned for tonight because we want to get people
down here. We're at the Angelica Film Center, mocking burdens central. They get down here.
The cast is here. Really? That's arena, phara, and melody, and talk right into that thing.
And the guys, the guys are here, but the most important. Maybe the best looking cast in this entire
damn festival. We're here and we set the bar really low. So I don't know if you see the poster,
but we just saw it on IMDB and he added on Facebook. I love it. That pretty much, yeah, that says
what you need to know. And we don't do false advertising. You get what's on that poster.
So write that an hour and a half. Write 93 minutes is what the official program is telling you.
When did you film it? We filmed it a couple years ago. You're in Dallas. We filmed it at
the wonderful Agora Studios and at our own house. I love it when people can do that.
Just shoot it when you, where you want to shoot a gorilla style. You don't, you don't have to sign
your own permit. You know, I got things that work where I have to approve things that I start.
I'm like, I've already started it. Why do I have to approve it? It's the strangest thing,
but when you can do that, you don't have to worry about permits. This is my house. Let me film here.
How long did it take to film? I'm sorry. How long did it take to film the film?
It took us 18 days to film this. Wow. And the film has been five years in the works.
Five years from today. Pretty, pretty closely. I'm scripted from scripted from scripted to premiere.
So this is original screenplay not adapted from anything else. Yeah, it's all right.
See, I kind of like, I prefer the original screenplay to the adapted screenplay.
Because nobody can tell you that what you did is wrong because it comes from you. Right. Right.
Well, they can tell you it's wrong. That is true. Marka. Marka. It's so wrong.
But like, yeah. Yeah, this is just an idea. And she said the magical words to me,
cannibal strippers. And I said, if you write that, I will figure out a way to make it.
And I, at a certain point, I, I joined it. You have a man cry moment at that. Thank you.
I have to see this movie now. There you go. I have to see this. This is right up. I want to even see
this is right up your, this is your alley. If not up your alley, this is your alley, this is your alley of the
Grindhouse style of, of film. And this is so. And the poster looks like a, a polp polp.
It looks like a polp book. Yeah. Yes. You guys are screaming my name with this movie right now.
I mean, just watch polp fix thinking the last night. Just got his daughter to watch it for the first time.
It's, it's very, it has a very good Grindhouse feel to it. I am so in on this. So tonight at 11 59 to
Moro night at 11 15. So you're just hitting it right out of the gate. We're not even waiting. Let's get this thing
on the air right now. Exactly. Plus Bella Donna's in it. I'm a fan of. Let's see. There you go. I can't
lie. She, she, she definitely lightens up the first, uh, brightens up the first 10 minutes of the
I mean, if you can get it right home, you can go tonight. Is that a something? Yeah, we wrote
together. So I've got this stuff here. I haven't slept in like four days. I'm just like, I'm on
fumes right now. But we're taking a nap now and then go to Moro. You know, I used to power nap at the
car. It's power nap. It's power nap. Okay. So tonight's the world premiere. Where is the plan,
what's the plan from here? Right after we play here, we get on a plane and we had to Sarah Soda
and we're playing the Sarah Soda film. Just like our previous guest. There you go. We had the
gentleman that directed, what was it? Above all else. Above all else. He's going to be a Sarah
Soda as well. Yeah. So we're going back to back, um, yeah, and we, literally, we got to play in
Sunday and we play Monday and Tuesday and Sarah Soda. And then after that, we'll see where our
film festival tour takes us. Um, based on the word amount from the programming teams, both here
and in Sarah Soda. We've got like a good six to eight of the film festivals that asked to see the
movies. So we're anticipating the busy year. That's awesome. Yeah. And I love it. That's why I love
that it's the Dallas International Film Festival. We get to see our fair burg. As it's growing in the
film community, I mean, make no mistake to two members of the Empire that looks into the show all
over the globe. This, the film in this town, the film industry in this town is growing at an
exponential rate. Yes. I mean, we were talking last night. We were at the opening night,
Gala. I don't know if you guys were able to go. But they were saying right now they're shooting
two pilots in Dallas right now. Oh, yeah. And the way the film industry is grown and the way,
you know, this festival has grown has been amazing. Um, I totally lost my train of thought.
Should I say something like we love shooting in Dallas? Absolutely. I'd be shooting in Dallas.
It's, you know, you don't have to worry about, you know, the traffic's not like LA. It's bad,
but it's, you know, just taking nine hours to go five miles. The mentality says a lot.
Like there's something to be said for being able to shoot a movie and everyone being nice to you.
Yes. Uh, that's not how it works in LA in New York. Like I mean, they're nice. They're cool.
There's a community spirit with a filmmaking community. Absolutely.
Dallas. They're just right here. They're here. They're far, far none. It is. And that's,
and that's one of the reasons why we definitely, we had to come here to shoot the movie because
we knew we would need every little bit of extra help we could get. And we have needed every little
extra bit of help we could get from this community to make it. You know what, I don't want to stop this
conversation because our next guests are also involved in this conversation. We're going to have
two of the stars join us as well. Awesome. Because that's how we roll. That's how we do it on the
Clubhouse podcast. We'll tag them like a freaking wrestling man. Remember, our normal show is
Sunday night, seven Eastern for Pacific. We talk all things sports entertainment, but sports
right now is out the window. We are movie intensive tonight here at the Dallas International
Film Festival. Sunday, we are going to be on a little bit earlier than normal. We're going to
talk about that a little bit later as well. It's a busy weekend for the Clubhouse podcast. Don't
you may as well just pull up a couple extra chairs for these folks because they're all friends and
family pretty much. Oh, no, no, no. We will be able to hand it off to these two. Thanks for having
me a son, guys. Okay, problem. Thank you. Would you like to introduce your, would you like to introduce your
cast? First is Melody Sis. She is Gettie in the movie. Hello. Hello. And he is Derek in the movie.
Hi. He's an amateur. Okay. He's not for Marty. His character is the jerk in the movie. Let's
be more specific. Oh, he's a sweetheart, trust me. Welcome to the show, both of you. We're
going to continue our conversation about the ladies in the house world premiere tonight. If, if my
clock on my laptop is right, we're about the number four hours away. I was, I was jittery about a
half an hour before we went on air here. I cannot even imagine what you guys are going through right
now. You know, yeah. I mean, I haven't seen the film in its finished version. I saw something
super super early and I'm really excited to see what they've done with it. I can't wait. This is the first
I'm from New York City. This is my first four film I've ever done in my life. Is this your first
time? I don't know. They film the movie here. So you were, so you used the first I'm in Dallas.
Yeah, it made you. And to be back here and just see how everything turned out. Yeah. So when did
you shoot the film? When? Yeah. Summer of 2012. Okay, so you know what summer is that? It's been
two years. You've been here in the summer of six to nine if that's what you're out. Now, I'm just
talking about just you've been here during the worst part of the year for this town. Oh, or best.
I was the I'm a transplant from South Florida and when I moved here, I was like, you know, I'm from
a tropical climate. I can handle summer. It was close. Summer and I actually shared housing. So
it's certainly in the first portion of it. We had like a crazy awesome, like, mapped out condo that
they set us up. Oh, nice. It's like really mansion-esque for condo. It's pretty amazing. You're like,
do I have to leave the coat of the shoe? But as I've been here in Dallas. And you know, everything
has bigger. And you hear that you think it's got to be cliche. It really isn't this town. And
that's why I think the film industry in this town is finally getting its due and growing because
there's so much room. You know, it's not like you're not always on top of it,
but you have you have choices and settings and places to shoot and yeah, and it's just like
our previous guy said the hospitality. It's in an LA. Yeah. Yeah, the hospitality is great. I mean,
just like being here at the festival. Absolutely. I'm talking to everyone on the red carpet. It's
it's really wonderful. And this facility, the Angelica, is a great place for that. The red carpet
area alone. You don't feel like you're standing on top of people. It's very nice and open.
And we go to a lot of screens at the Angelica. And we love the Angelica because it's not that
chain corporate feel to it. It's got that intimate feel to it. And I think for a film like this,
you want that intimate setting. You want to feel like you're in the house. Exactly. And you want
you, you don't want to feel like, okay, just here to watch a movie. I mean, you want an experience
and from what I'm reading so far, it is an experience. It's an experience. Make sure your
student is in your normal upright position because this thing's about to go back. Well, it's cool as
well. Yeah, it is. We shot in a Gora Studios. Yeah, I was going to say we have to plug a Gora
Studios. They're so amazing. Studio and they treated us like kings. And it was like, I've
shot a lot of stuff in New York and LA in all over the place. It's a beautiful studio and it felt like
it was in LA. And I was so excited to have that experience in the south. I'm from the south.
And I'm originally from Asheville, North Carolina. Oh, I love the heroine in Georgia. I'm a brave
fan. My new home base is Birmingham, Alabama. Oh, okay. But I own a production company that's
based in Brooklyn, New York. So I actually go back and forth and I said, plug in years in New York.
Well, I get that's called Candy Castle Motion Pictures. And we've made four films. Well, we're
working on our fourth film. We've made modern levels automatic, which is available for free on
Vimeo. I star in that playing a dominant trick. So it's very apropos. And then vacation with
an exclamation mark, which I also star and introduced, which is a sort of like fun spin on the head
of the beach party genre. And then white reindeer is a Christmas film about a woman from the
suburbs whose husband is murdered at Christmas time. And that picked up. It just, it was purchased
by IFC. Really amazing. Congratulations on that. Congrats on that. Absolutely. It gives a huge
deal for us. I produce that and I'm in that as well. And it's actually just become available in Netflix
in the last couple of days. So you can look up. I'll check that out in my mind. Yeah, you can see my
boobs in it. Well, heck. I'm just saying. If you're not a Netflix. I'm fucking fucking all of a sudden
if it's servers just crashed. I'm like, what happened to that? Thank god my passport is safe.
My user name is. Get on it now. Melody sister. It's a sad Christmas movie with an orgy in it.
I don't know what else you want from a movie. There's an orgy in it. Yeah.
How's it a sad Christmas movie? Trust me. Check it out. It's, it's a, I thought that's what's
said in the broad. We often talk on this show about how we don't start to show with any wheels
that we just drive on axles for two hours. I don't think we, I don't think we even started the car.
We just dropped it out of a helicopter and it just went down a hill from there. I'm just trying to connect a lot of
obstacles. But that's the genius of the live streaming radio is that there's no filter.
I just can't see the logic of sadness and orgy. It's just, yeah. So let's kind of backtrack a little bit.
What brought you to this film? Tom, right? You want to start? You know what?
A whole bunch of stuff. John, John Laldon, I've ran into a couple of times with a couple of festivals in LA
and he had seen a bunch of my work and he's the director. He was just a director, right?
And both of them, they sort of took me out to dinner once and they told me about the story
and this script and I was like, wow, this horror genre which is, which is intellectually stimulating
I think it's beyond your run the middle horror film as well. And for me, you can't see me
on to, but with my name being Samara Chakrabardi, you might guess that. Sweeties are really white.
Sweeties are really white. Sweeties are really white. Sweeties are really white.
But, but I was the one at the South Asian actor in the States, I often play, you know, doctors,
terrorists, medical terrorists. I teach professionals. I teach you guys, you know.
That might be the subtitle for today's show. Yes, medical terrorists. Let's start
that hashtag medical terrorism. Anyway, it wasn't that Denzel Washington and John Q. Yes,
okay. But so when John Wildman said director John and said, look at this character, I was like,
this is awesome, because I play very well. I play an all-American, flat boy, pick-up truck,
strip club going, Texan. Good, you know, and I'm looking at you, I'm like, yeah, I get that.
You know, stranger things have happened, sir. But so, as already they had me had, you know,
what up, y'all, you know. Exactly. Let me, let me, let me toss something else into the fire
than what I'm used to. Nothing wrong with that. So it's, it's race smart. It's a great opportunity
and also that just a film itself. It's so, it turns the tables literally on its head. No.
It's, it's got the, the women are fantastic. It's just brilliantly written by just, you know, and John.
So I, you know, it brought me to it is all the above, you know. I think, yeah, for me, I'm not a horror
movie guy. Yeah. But I think in the last few years horror has kind of evolved a little bit.
Yeah. Moons like you're next. Yeah. Your next was a film that going into it. I was like,
but by the end of it, I was like, you know what? I loved this movie because it's just not about we're just
going to do everything we can to completely gross you out. We're going to actually have a little
bit of fun with it. And when, when a film knows what it is. I bet, I bet some artists too. I mean,
just one word, who's in that film is a great friend of ours. It's been a real champion of
our films and is an independent guy who has become sort of a name now, which is exciting because
he's really come from a good place as an independent filmmaker. And Amy Simeth is in that film.
I mean, that's a film that is very much about the independent world moving into genre. And I think
that's what we're doing with this film too. And it's exciting to see that these films can actually
exist in a, in a sort of like, in the film festival world and sort of in an art context, really.
And as well as getting a bigger, yeah, art house, or it's getting a big audience, really.
It's not the same film, but at all. With the way technology is going that line between
independent and mainstream is getting so bored because you can make quality film. And it's giving
people that, you know, may not get the opportunity, they deserve. They're now getting the
opportunity to make the films they want to make and not the films that somebody else wants to
make. Absolutely. And I love that. And you've got these great movies like, yeah, Jelica and the
Alamo Draft house that will embrace that kind of a film. Oh, they're all in dropouts now being
pretty much nationwide. Exactly. And it's really thrilling. It's like our second home. We love it.
Yeah, I've got a chance to visit the one here yet. Not the one here in Dallas. I haven't.
No, I mean, I've been to the one in Austin and many of the others, but let me also say before I
lose my chance. I want to clarify that I was brought into the project by the amazing
brilliant talented stunning fairer white. She is my co-star in place, my wife. And she is the one who,
not only thought of me for the role, but called myself and called John Wildman and said,
please let her read and gave me the chance to read. And I couldn't think her more. I also will
literally do anything fairer tells me too. If she thinks it's a good idea, then I'll do it. Because
she's whatever she's done with her career, I want to follow. She's absolutely beautiful. It's the
old story. Sorry, guys. We're going to have to put a display or on tonight's episode.
It's all right, guys. Four years or a lot, four years on this thing. We're a lot of slip-up.
Is she in town for this thing? She's here. Because I think she's also in Flutter.
This is a fairer white Friday. She's had some of these paintings in a row.
She had a, she was at about mom and dad. And then she's in Flutter. And she's also in ladies' house.
So I'm asking proud and fairer white. And I guess she brought me on the project.
It's a real great cast. The whole cast is amazing.
Some old cast people come in from LA New York, local. It's a really beautiful cast.
I think what's going back to what you're saying about the genre or expanding,
films like Korean, film like the host.
God, I love that man. Great. What director John Wilde has so much a vast knowledge of cinema.
That I think this is not particularly horrible. This is just not another Texas
change on Massacre. This is a shot in Dallas with an idea and with that vision of like a European
or, you know, it's, oh yeah. That international field, one of my favorite movies. And I finally
got him to watch it a couple of weeks ago was the rate redemption. Oh my god.
Oh yeah. I'm ready for the second one. I'm ready for it.
I haven't seen, I haven't seen, I haven't seen, I haven't seen, I haven't seen it.
Here's a thing. You watch it the first time. No, no, no, no, no.
You watch the rate redemption the first time. And you go, oh, oh. And then you watch it again
with people who haven't watched it. So you can watch their reaction to it. Because it's
something. It sounds like that. It rips Hollywood a new A hole. And it needs it. It needs it.
We, I'm, we were talking before you guys came on that we're getting Paul Bartmock up too.
And I'm just like, why? I need any substance. You know, I also have to say, like, I'm personally,
I'm a horror fan. I've always been a horror fan. But my, I'm all kinds of film
fan. I'm a non-fan in general. That's what made me a film producer and an actor. But I love
1970s horror films. Yes. My favorite horror film. Just that classic
everything genre like, you know, it's not the left. I've been on your own. It's for a
meal, but you don't care. That was the genius of it back then. Then it, what, they were
burthing formula. We created formula. Everything after that is what, you know, it came after
that. It copies that. It was like they took this suspense out of horror. It was just like, how much
can we do to grow throughout? And it's like, that's not the point. I, I want to feel like I can't
watch this, but I have to watch this. And I'm not going to say this is that film. Because once again,
I haven't seen the finished production in any way. So tonight at the world premiere will be
your first time seeing the finished film. We've got both of you. We're in awe, we will be in
awe, I imagine. But I have to say Dario Argento is one of my favorite horror film makers, right?
And I love so many like operas incredible. There's so many incredible films made by Dario Argento
and Suspira. Suspira. Suspira. Suspira is the first one I think. And one of the things that I
thought was exciting when I read this script, just from reading it, is that I felt this sort of
visual element to the horror, that it was a, it was really surreal in some ways. And it was like a
lot of beauty to the way that it was being imagined, that it wasn't just about Gore, and it wasn't
just about violence, that those things are actually. There's an element of beauty that's being
sort of you. And yeah, there's artistic point of view. It's a lens through which this is being seen.
And I know from the music choices and from somewhat we did on sad. And I looked a bit like Rosie
the Riveter in the film. For example, costumes are like the real stylized stylized stylized.
I mean, we were talking about the one sheet earlier, how it looks like a pulp novel. And it's got
that. Yeah, yeah. And I thought that was great. And once again, we talked about plugs.
Yen Tan. That is a Dallas, Nay. I mean, not Dallas. A Texas name that should everyone
should know. Yen Tan is the designer who designed our final poster for the film. And he is a genius.
He's a filmmaker and his own right. Pit stop. This is the most recent film. But he's a genius
graphic designer who's been responsible for a lot of the graphic designer. Some of those beautiful
films coming out of Texas in the last 10 years. Look him up, his designs are mind-blowing.
And what he did with our pulp novel cover is so cool. It looks great. And it's great. It's wonderful.
In addition, I mean, I just want to go back to also director John Wildman. It is of course film.
Really? It is first as a director. And we had him on the show set.
Mark that. I already worked. What's amazing is he knew exactly what he wanted. He's also a
co-writer. But he also gave a lot of space for us to collaborate. You know, with each actor he gave
us time to say what to see in about. And as an actor, it's like it's really a gift to have a
director giving a tremendous space. So much trust. And you want to serve that trust and serve
his vision. So it was a really meticulous, but he also let things happen. It was an environment
that he created with the DP and director. The whole crew. I think that's one interesting thing
has happened, you know, it's possible. And also that coupled with his incredible respect for the script.
And a lot of that had to do with it being co-written by himself. But also by his incredible respect for
his wife. Absolutely. Just Tina, who is a genius. And really, without that, she just was her
brainchild. And you can feel that throughout. It's so female. And it's so strong. And as a woman.
And as a feminist. And in so many ways, myself, I was really proud and excited to be a part of sort of
turning the genre I do love on its head. And having a chance to sort of be the strong,
powerful female character in a world where women are being punished for behaving badly toward us.
And it's done with a lot of fun and a lot of humor and a lot of fast pace and all of that. But
it's really neat. And it's different from anything I've really seen. So I can't wait to see it
in its final version coming up in an hour. Come on. Melody is Sam Rotter here. Four hours away
from the big premiere of Ladies of the House. Enjoy the night, guys. Oh, God. This is y'all. This is
one of y'all's deals. Go World premiere tonight. King here. Check it out. Look at all of you. Yeah,
please come. All right. Come tonight. Tonight in a morning. All right. All right. Thank you guys so much.

Hey, how you doing? Doing well. How are you, sir? We got you. I got your IMDB page pulled up
and a big section of the Empire is very excited right now. Yes. For three words. Dragon ball. Yes.
Z. What brings you to the Dallas International Film Festival? You probably thought since I was
just looking at the both of you that I'm going to be one of those guys that you're interviewing
that doesn't say anything. No, my name is not Robert De Nero. It's getting a small meal. And you know what?
You, you're good. You're good. Hey, I said you're good. That was spot on. What are you
going to happen now? Why? Why? Why? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Why? Why? Why? Why? The extent of the
news you. Oh, that's you know, the extent to find the Nero just a little bit. That's all I've got. That's
my entire Dinerow. And the only reason is that it's a Jimmy Fallon. So what brings you to the festival, sir?
Well, what brings me here is just to enjoy everything. And we were here a couple of years ago with
my TV show Belle out, which is what I'm promoting. I've been promoting for the last five years.
Wow. Been working on it for seven years. And it's a webisode right now. But we're pitching
it to the networks and we have some pretty good executive producers from LA already on it. So nice.
It looks like it'll be out. What direction are you looking to go with your show network cable,
basically cable pay cable? I would like to go cable actually because once you get it, it seems
when you get it on a network. If they don't like it the first one or the second one,
bam, you're off. Whereas the cable kind of gives you a chance to grow and grow legs and, you know,
blossoms. Well, since we're all about shameless self promotion on the show, tell us what the show
is about. We want to know everything. The show is about New York City Detective who has a run-in
with the mob. And his uncle's been trying to get him to come to Fort Worth, Texas to help him
with his failing bail bonds business. But his uncle always comes up with something like,
look, Jimmy, you've got it. That's my character's name. Okay. I've got to come here because
I know where Elvis is. Or I saw James Dean walking down the street. Or, you know, or Marilyn Monroe.
And now he knows where Jimmy Hoffa is. So he thinks that's what's going to get him.
Because he's using that New York thing to get him to Fort Worth. Yeah. So,
really what gets him there is, uh, since he has a running with the mob,
he comes to Fort Worth and the mob follows him. So then it's everything that New York,
mobsters and Texans go through, you know, with like, you know, you use guys to go like this,
forget about it. And I'm from Brooklyn. Oh, there you go. To that little twang, how y'all doing.
That was a stretch. Yeah. That's a big stretch. So, let's talk East Coast just a minute. I'm a
Florida guy. So, I'm a Florida guy. So we we're kind of like New York. You know, I like, um,
one of the thing, and I love talking to people from the East Coast because there's certain things
about the East Coast that people here don't get. You know, I can't find a good deli in this town.
Wait, you can't find a good deli. I can't find a good deli in this town. Well, you probably won't.
Actually, uh, what's the the famous older hotel here in Dallas? Um, the, uh, we've got the
Anatol, you've got there through. Yeah. Okay. Okay. In the Anatol, I don't know if it's still there.
There was a Jewish deli. Really. Yeah. And I found that 10 years ago. I haven't been there.
I'm not gonna find out. It was great. That locks and bagels, that conditions. They had, uh,
oh, I mean, multiple soup. They had it all. And it's just, it's just, you know, I work for a company
who originally was in Albany and they've moved here. And so a lot of the people from up there,
we talk about things like, hey, I can't find things here. Like, uh, one of my buddies is like,
somebody advertised New York style pizza and I ate a bite and I just laughed. I'm like, yeah,
because it's easy. It can't. It's not the same. No. No. But so, let's just say, if, uh, if you
had your brothers with this show, if, if somebody came to you and just said, pick the network,
pick the channel you wanted to be on. Where would it go? Well, what comes to mind is,
AMC, USA. Okay. Um, you know, networks like that. So you think it's, it's good for,
for basic cable, but maybe not just enough for basically not premium. No, it is good enough for premium.
I'm just talking about content standpoint. What's that? From a content standpoint. Do you think
it's more suited for, for basic or would you rather it go somewhere where you can be a little
bit more loose with the content itself? You know what, at this point, I've been working on a solo
network. I don't care. What network? It could be PBS. Just somebody take the show.
Just so I can say we're finally on AMC seems to be the brass ring for things right now. Yeah,
fitting great on the AMC. Yeah. Well, you know, um, I got some really good people in it.
Burton Gilliam from Blazing South. Really? He's in it. Marshall Teague from his, yes, uh,
Roadhouse. Yes. And, and of course, he was in leverage. He was in, you know, about 200
TV shows and, uh, and films. We have Terry Kaiser. That's, that's the name they got much. That's the
name they got me. Burn it. Oh, really. Burning. Uh, so we have a lot of good people in it and it's just
or matter. It's just a matter of time, actually. So, um, you know, we have some good writers on it.
We have, uh, good episodes, good webisodes. If they go to bailoutTV.com, they can see all 10
webisodes right now. Oh, so there's 10 episodes up right now. How long are the episodes? Are they
half hour hours? No, no, no, the webisodes. They're about five minutes of peace. Oh, so they're,
so they're the, okay, the real honest to God. Well, okay. Cool. Yeah. And it has a beginning,
middle and end and, um, you know, that's what we're doing. So, what I did was I got these webisodes out
there because people said to me, no, no, which you've got to do is get one episode together
and then pitch it to the network. Well, I did that years ago. I'm was, let me get
webisodes together and I asked my editor how many do you think we can get out of all the footage.
She said, we can get 10 really good ones. Wow. So I put it on the web and it got a lot of attention.
So that's when I met this executive producer in LA and, uh, he wants to do something with it.
So is there any social media connected to this? Yeah, Facebook Twitter. Yeah, it's, it's all over
Facebook. Good. I mean, all over Facebook. Bail out is the name of it. Bail out, B-A-I-L two words.
Oh, you two words. Okay. And the, and the website is bailoutTV.com. And that's, of course,
all one word, bailoutTV.com. Yeah. And, you know, I, I, I just did a film with, um, uh, Randy Travis,
Cole Virtuoso. Wow. Tell me about that. Well, it was a great experience. I loved it. It was, um,
my role was more dramatic. And, uh, and it's so different from bailout because bailout is more of a
dromity, but more comedy in it. And, uh, what, what I've learned to do is get people who are really
good at what they do and let them be your dancers. So it always makes you look like, oh, you're dancing.
So like, uh, Billy D. Williams, and undancing with the star stuff. Well, that would, I,
well, that's what that's, that's the concept. He kind of let them dance because he couldn't, you know,
so it made him look like he was dancing because they were all around it. Yeah, that's exactly it.
So I got all these funny people around me and people say, wow, you show is so funny. You are so funny.
And it's really them that are funny. But it, but as the statement that lifts your comedic
chops, too, because I did play the straight man to have everybody else be funny around you,
you kind of get that biosmosis where it's like, as the straight man, you end up more often than not
being the funniest one. Well, you know, that, and, and I was thinking of that when I decided,
yeah, I think I'll be the straight man. I thought, you know, during my hiatus, I'll be the one
getting these roles for, you know, dramatic films and things like that, which would be great.
And then, you know, I come back to my bailout TV and then we all have doing the funny stuff again.
So it's, it's a real, I mean, I love it. I love what I do. I love getting these other films.
I'm starting to, not audition for films for being asked to be in films. Okay. And not auditioning
that much, which is always an ego boost, but, you know, in perspective, you know, that thing
gets somebody better anyway. But you got what you got? Exactly. And that's the beauty of it.
Um, do you see any timeframes about maybe one that might, might pick up speed on this thing?
Uh, you mean how much time do you think we will be before we'll be on the air?
Yeah. I would say within six months. Really. Yeah. Yeah. So we're, we've book now two exclusives on this show
tonight. Now, now I did say that five years ago. Fair point,
so just to put everything in perspective. But that means you still got hope alive. And that's
important. Yeah. Yeah. But we've grown tremendously. So when I look at the footage from five
years ago to now, and then I see the people that had working on it five years ago, to now,
it's, you know, it's a whole different ball game. We're being joined by Dennis O'Neill, a great actor.
Guy that's been, you know, Dragon Ball Z. That's what you need to know. You know, we may have
a mutual acquaintance. Who's that? Sonny straight. Oh. I would be you more than me with it.
He was, I know he's, I seem to me like he played the voice of Krillin several times, but
he graduated with my sister from a ski high school. They see friends with Melody Lens,
do you know? Not real short. She was, oh, I mean, she was on Dragon Ball Z a lot.
I know he's, he's, he's worked in the anime voiceover field for many, many years. Oh, he's actually
written and drawn the artwork for several elf quest books, but he was, I know he was
tsunami Tom on, uh, on Cartoon network, but I know he's done the voice of Krillin before.
So I figured maybe you made it. Yeah, ships might have to survive. Yeah, over 160 films at this
festival, is there anything that you're, that you're looking to see or have you run out of
chance to really dig into the list? Yeah. Well, I did want to see Joe, but they've sold out tonight.
Are they really, yeah, for them? Yeah, but there's a few films that are going to,
I'm going to see tomorrow night. I'm going to see a really good film, and I'm looking forward to
seeing it, and it's, uh, believe me. Ah, that's one of the centerpiece features. Yes. Yes.
That's the best of all this year. There's two of them. Believe me, and, uh, heaven is for real, and if you
know what, if you know what, believe me is about, you kind of got two sides of a coin with those two
films, but I'm, we're looking for, we've RSVP, we're hoping we can get in for heaven is for real
Thursday night at the cinema, in West Plano. Very much looking forward to that. Can you
or is going to be here, I'm told? Oh, good. I know that. Yeah, but it's a great canier will be on the
red carpet for that. Anything else that you're looking forward to? Well, I do want to see that one.
I want to see, uh, like I said, Joe, but uh, I don't know if it's going to be playing again,
but you know what I'd really like to say. I want to see all the short films that will locally
I do, I love how they do. They're just going to malle together. There's a couple that I'm interested in,
uh, the one about fully artists. I believe it's called hacking circuits. Yeah. Um, the one about, uh,
endeavors, journeying from Florida to California, the space shuttle. They're doing one of the
shortes about that. They've got what about bowling that I'm interested in. Um, I love that not only are
we getting these, quote unquote indie films because they're like, we were talking about our previous
guess. That line is so blurred now, but we're getting to see like tomorrow as it's tomorrow.
I know it's Monday night. They're showing the original in the heat of the night.
And with the rod tiger. Yeah, sir. And then Saturday nights, this coming Saturday, they're
showing the 80s film, the never-ending story out in Clyde Park. Oh, man. They're showing Paris
Texas next Saturday. So yeah, that I knew. Yeah. So you're getting not only these new films that
are trying to get the exposure they need, but classic films that maybe you wouldn't get to see
in a theater setting otherwise. Yeah. And these classic films that a lot of young filmmakers don't
know anything about real exactly. So, uh, they just need next they need on the waterfront.
Oh, such a great. Yeah. Yeah. And so many good actors. And it, you know, 12 angry men,
the original 12 angry men. Absolutely. Yeah. And that's the history of what we,
of what we do, actually. It's weird that I'm now getting to the age where I'm getting to that
you crazy kids with the clothes and the hair and what you think you have. Let me tell you about history.
And, you know, it's like you just want to strap up down and something, you're, you're going
to watch the godfather. One sitting, we're not stopping it. Yeah. Because I need you to see what
film was supposed to be like. Yeah. You know, and there are some great directors and great
visionaries out there. But we're getting to a point where it's so cookie cutter. And that's why
I love things like the Dallas International Film Festival because you're getting some great
directors like last night. I don't know if you were there for words and pictures. Wonderful film.
No, no, no. I'm totally at Benoche. Wonderful film. Love it. Absolutely a door that film. And,
you know, that film has local ties. And to see, you know, a list actors that get to do these films
because they love the craft and do it well. And it was a packed house. It was a great movie. And,
you know, maybe that gets picked up by somebody and gets a more of a nationalist. And a lot of
foreign films that we're going to get to see. Yeah. I'm personally excited just because I'm geeky.
I'm not nerdy because geeks are nerds with social skills. That's the difference. The final
line of the festival, they're showing space battleship Yamato at the Texas Theatre,
which is based on a cartoon called Star Blazers that I grew up with. And it was made about five
years ago. And there was the trailer hit YouTube about two, three years ago. And I was like,
I have to see this film. And I was talking to friend of the show Devon Pike who's DJing on the
other side of the room. He said there were some rights issues with it. You couldn't get to it.
Well, now they've cleared up the rights issues and they're going to be showing it to close the
festival. And I'm very excited about that. And there's not it's all across all genres.
It's all love. It's across all genres for the festival. You've got horror. You've got drama.
You've got comedy. You've got action. So it's, it's that all inclusiveness that I love.
Yeah, this festival has a really good feel to it. Not only are the people friendly,
but everyone is so welcoming. They're open. We were talking about the way over here. I was like,
is it just me or is everybody in this involved in this painting? Yeah, it's almost like there's
something in the air this year. Like when when your guy asked me to do this interview,
I said, absolutely. I mean, he was just so overly nice. I want to say, don't be that nice to me.
I'm from New York, all right? I can't handle that much. It's like, you know,
growing up right group. We took it. I was in band in high school. We took it. You take a bunch of
kids from Southeast Florida. And you put them in Nashville, Tennessee for a week. Yeah, it was just,
it was the feeling, how are you doing? They're like, why? I'm like, guys, no, they're just being friendly.
It's okay. You know, and that's funny. You should say that because that line is in bailout.
Really? When I character Jimmy, when he comes to Fort Worth, he goes into a convenience store
and buys a bottle of water, and the woman says, how y'all doing. And he looks behind him and
looks at the door and he says to a, why do you want to know? And that really, that happens all the
time because people don't understand that, you know, I've always said, yes, Florida is in the South
with the South ends in Orlando. Anything South or Lando is not the South. And it's just such a
different mentality. And I love it. Don't get me wrong. But yeah, there's some getting used to it.
Yeah, you know, and it's, and that's one of the things about the Dallas International Film Festival.
It's just like one big, it's like everybody made every movie. And they're all rooting for each other
and supporting each other. And, you know, people are networking, which could lead to bigger things
for them. And that's, I just, I love that, that feel. Yeah. You know, tonight we've got some of the
screenwriters are here. They had their having a reception for them in this room tonight as we're on
the air. Yeah, that's right. And that's just, when they told me that we're doing that, I was like,
that is just so awesome. Because it's that, it's like they said last night, we want Dallas to be the
anti Hollywood. You know, we want Dallas because that, that, that market is growing so much.
And this is the town to do it. Yeah. I mean, think about, I mean, it happened in the world of
interactive media whenever it's software set up here and created doom and then all the other
studios that sprung out of that and it just became like the Silicon Alamo is what they referred to
it as. Well, now it's now it's their turn with film. Well, you know, the Dallas for there.
Yeah, all of Texas has a lot to offer. Really does. Absolutely. I mean, I did a scene and bail out
that takes place in Brooklyn, New York. And it's 415 bond street. And I just picked this building
out in Fort Worth because it looked so New York. It looked like it was down by this place called
the Goannas Canal. So after we shot it, I went back to my neighborhood in Brooklyn. And I went to
415 bond street. Looks almost exactly like it does in Fort Worth. So we got a lot of locations
in Fort Worth. We got an alley behind Jake's burgers and we just put some graffiti and put some
trash around it. It looked just like an alleyway in Brooklyn. So it's got a lot to offer. And you work,
you can still work within your budget. You don't have to send everybody everywhere and it's just
there's so much versatility to the set design. Yeah. You know, I want to do some of the different.
Okay. Mr. O'Neill's here. One of the things we do on this show when we talk about movies is we
talk about, you know, upcoming releases. And we've already talked about today's movie releases.
But I want to talk about the DVDs that are coming out this week with you. I want to get your
opinion on some of them. Okay. First of all, coming out this Tuesday, wherever you buy DVDs or
blue rays, the second chapter of the Hobbit series, the desolation of Smell. And I am ashamed to say
I have not seen either one of them. And I don't know if that makes me a communist. I think it does.
But sir. Oh, you know my opinion. I mean, I know you're there. You're there. Well, look here,
made head. If you haven't seen any of them, then you are a pink O'Neill. So what do you think of that?
Now, however, the next film that we're going to talk about, I have seen and very upset about
it's lack of award wins. August, oh, stage count. I was blown away about this film. And if you,
we do, we do on this show. We do these things called iTunes exclusive. And what that means is if you
were subscribed to this show on iTunes, we do episodes that are only for those people. And normally
those are movie reviews. And we talked about August, those stage counting. And the only way I can
pitch it if you haven't seen it is it's still magnolious for a more cynical generation. But it's good.
But it's not a chick flick. I mean, it's brilliant. It's absolute brilliance. If you have not seen
August, those stage counting do yourself a favor. Also, but it comes back, isn't both of those
films. Yes, see, it's like everybody in their brothers in August, those stage counting.
Grudge match, De Nero Stallone. I actually want to see this. Let's turn that over to you.
What, I, I, I, this movie. Yeah, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, you know, we got to get into the ring.
I think we should mix it up. No, no, you, you, you're, you're not going to lay a finger on me.
I, I'll smack out, come to a hot out. I think we just had the whole trailer. I think that was awesome.
A paranormal activity, the marked ones. This is the spin-off film, which I, they lost me by that point.
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I didn't have officially lost you. Yeah. After the third one, they lost me. It was your,
you know, you're getting the next one. Another one's coming. Oh, yeah. Every October. We're going to get a new one.
A movie. It's kind of a, it's a, it's a dark comedy issue to call it nurse. It stars the young lady.
Pass, like, pass. I can't remember her last name. She was on the first couple of seasons of boardwalk empire.
She plays a nurse, oddly enough, who takes on a candy stripe or under her wing, and it turns into kind of an obsession thing.
They actually released it in 3D, like a single-white female type of session type. Yeah, but darker.
What the, what the, you know, it was pretty, also something we were talking about in pre-show. And if you don't,
if you, if you, if you don't want to feel old, you might want to mute the show for the next 30 seconds.
The 30th anniversary edition of Heart Like a Wheel with Bonnie Beteelia.
I love this movie. Okay. Now, I guess you're going to call me a communist. I've never seen the film.
Well, if you had HBO in like 1983, it was on in the loop. It was like that in stroke or ace all the time.
And what was it that Kenny Rodgers six pack? Six pack. Yeah. But it's a wonderful movie about the, the life of the first female drag racer.
Oh, okay. Very, very good. It's excellent film. Also this week,
Fellini's the 400 blows gets the criterion collection. Treatment this week.
Criterion's cranking out a lot of stuff. I mean, it's like almost every week we talk about something getting the
criterion collection treatment. And that's what Fellini always fries my head. I've seen a handful of Fellini films.
And that's like, it's just got, it's got much. Also a movie call. I saw a lot of them because when I went to college,
we have to. Yeah. I was kind of glad I did that. When I was in college, I took a film called
film is literally a class called Films Literature. And the final we had to write a paper about the movie.
We were watching while we were watching it. And it was Bergman's the seventh seal.
I was like, oh, it could be at least leave the lights on because I'm going to fall asleep.
Also a movie called Best Night Ever. Basically, this is a female version of the hangover.
This was all over nothing but trailers for about a month and a half. Did you guys see the hangover?
I've got I've seen the first two. I've got the third one on my DVR. Okay. Okay. I like the second one
better than the first one. And I think I'm kind of in the minority on that. But I, I, I, I, I, I watched the
third one because I have to complete the set. But I just, I just haven't gotten to see the third one.
Well, I have to watch one and three to complete the set. I thought the second one was good.
The second one was funny. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm monkey in a movie. I mean, I like Mike Tyson. So, yeah.
And a movie I believe that is being featured at some point either during the festival or at least
at the Angelica Dom Hemingway. This is also been all over nothing but trailers. The only thing I
can tell you, sir, is this is very, a very wheels off movie. It's a very great star. All right.
Our kind of film there. Yeah. Pretty much. Dom Hemingway is the name of that. You are listening to
the Clubhouse podcast. Our normal show live every Sunday night, 70 certain four Pacific,
two hours of your life. We hope you don't want back. This week's going to be a little different
because this is WrestleMania weekend. We are going to be live from Fox and Hound and Richardson
Texas on Sunday and our early. So we're going to be on at five o'clock Eastern. Can I do that
right now? Six o'clock Eastern. That would be three o'clock Pacific. Getting you ready for the
showcase of the Immortals. If you're going to come join us at Fox and Hound, five bucks get you in the
door. Go right after church because if you don't do it, get in the end. This is true. I'm going
right after church and we're doing the show. All right, Rob. We got another guest coming in. All right,
all right. Okay. Mr. I knew you're welcome to stay if you want. Oh, yeah. All right, cool.
Let me do this first. Name is, uh, okay. Her name is Aaron Parisi. Okay. She's a produce show that
was on cry. The movie cry, which came out last year. Okay. She's doing a film on the short film block
number two, which is going to be coming out tomorrow. Okay. It's called I was a teenage girl. It's
an up block of all those multiple films. Okay. I'll put it in her do this. Aaron, come join us.
And it's come on stick around. Done. Aaron, you get that so you can talk it up. Be careful
because it might fall over on you. Okay. I'll be careful. Welcome to the show. Those were the
ones that we were doing. We're okay with that. Thank you. And I actually have had the privilege
of working with Mr. Dennis O'Neill on bailout. I did the production design for you. And we just
told you about bailout. Yeah. It's perfect. We're hoping we're looking forward to seeing
that hopefully soon. I hope so too. It's a great show with just such a talented cast and crew
of them all local for the most part. And it's brilliant. So I was just texting one of my
editors. So trying to get her to come over here. Oh, I was the camera for this place. Oh, wow.
Hopefully she'll be on. But again, we talked about that one big team. Yeah. Yeah. There you go.
Hey, hey, I trouble in a gang. You know what I mean? It's only way to stay alive. Absolutely.
Absolutely. But we are so excited to be here at the festival this year with I was a teenage girl.
We had her premiere down at South by Southwest a few weeks ago. Oh, standing. It was it was that
is that just insanity now down there? It was. I had not been for a few years and I was blown away
at the magnitude of the event. And the people that you met everywhere, the connections,
great networking, amazing film, amazing interactive series, amazing music. It's just so hard to
describe. It was incredible. And it's it's just virtually impossible to do everything you want because
there's so much going on. It is really true. And it's hard to get there because if you're not
one of the privileged few to stay under those hotels right in the center, it is it is impossible.
Well, I've said about South by it's like living in LA. If I'm going to be there, you better
get me a helicopter to bring me where I need to go because otherwise I'm never going to get there.
Exactly. I was funny you said that I was just in LA last week for a few meetings and I had
not been since for many years and it was that's a very true statement. It was traffic and
Austin. Yeah. Yeah, it was. Well, and that's like we talk about in Dallas how they're tearing up
635 and they're doing the dual level thing like they're doing in Austin. And it's like it doesn't
work in Austin. It's not going to work in a year. I know. And it was supposed to learn from
our mistakes, not repeat. And I don't think it seems supposed to be finished for like another three
years. Like it's, I'm so glad I come up to Southside to go to work every day because I would go crazy.
So tell us about I was a teenage girl. I was a teenage girl is one vignette at a series of
three that we filmed here last the fall and the fall. And it tells the story of two teenage girls
and some of their experiences during high school and we filmed these three stories with the same
two actresses Claire and Athena and they play different characters in each story and they each are
done in a different economic social group. So it's more like a short anthology? Kind of. Yes.
Okay. This one was edited first and so that's why it's traveling that circuit.
When they're all three together it'll be a very powerful piece but it's it's really neat and
we're very proud of it. What is it going to be featured?
What's it in the inside? When's it going to be featured? Which part of the switch block?
It actually plays tomorrow at Angelica at 1230. Okay. And the story line kind of is told in
the bedroom of one of the teenage girls and she's talking about experience she had with love
at school that week. Okay. So is it just, is that going to be the only block it's going to be
shown on or there'll be a multiple block? It's in short block number two and so it plays tomorrow at 1230
and Sunday at 530. Okay. So you've got to cover right out of the gate out of the first and we've got
the best of the really did. That's all we did so we can just have fun the rest of the time the
you've got to love that when you because maybe I'm like well you don't want to be a person yeah you do
because then you get you get the stress out of the way and you just go do whatever and act you want.
What so you're going to have this extra time is there anything you're looking forward to because we
talked about that with Mr. O'Neill what's films he was looking forward to are there any
films you're looking forward to over the next 12 days. Absolutely. The Dallas International Film Festival
is one of my most favorite times of the year in Dallas and I have so many friends that have projects
in the festival that I am thrilled to come out and support like Kelly Williams who's here with
Hellian and Kat Shanler who directed that and Farah White who I think we could have called today
Farah White Day because she's had three. That's the second time we've heard that actually said that.
We just got to post some lady know how so I asked Farah White I said to her what what's your age range
she said whatever you wanted to be and I said 25 she said no I said really she said how old did you
say I said 25 she said no go up a little more so it's I don't pretty good conversation I've
got to meet this woman at some point. Wow. She's fantastic she's a talented actress and a great
producer so make sure you do me her. I will do my best. There's just I can guarantee that but I
sure would like to. When we were at the Gallo last night and they were just they said there was
over 160 films that are going to be screened over 12 days. My head exploded.
Oh exactly well and there's so much. I basically wish I had more vacation time.
Yeah exactly. I planned to just live here at Mockingbird Station all week and you can do that because
yeah you want to get some fresh clothes right across the street you want to grab some of the
eat there's like nine restaurants. Yeah there's even a blowout place and everything there you go.
Now you're totally fine but the other things I'm looking forward to are seeing some of the
returning filmmaker projects that are here like witchy meta is here with St. Hartha
he was really years ago with another piece. So it's really neat to see old faces and good friends
come back with more great work to Dallas and have this great thing happen in our own backyard
is very inspiring to anybody interested in film. Absolutely yes. We've been talking all night
about how that line between indie and mainstream has gotten so blurred because the technology has
gotten so strong and in on a certain level not necessarily but on a certain level affordable.
Yeah accessible. You know you can make a quality film with stuff you buy a best buy.
You know there was there was a contest and somebody did where there was like here's the footage
make a trailer for our movie which you could only use your phone and people did it and it looked
great and we need those storytellers we need those people that aren't afraid to say you know what I'm
going to tell this story and if it gets picked up great but if it is and I've got this story to tell
well look at some of our favorite filmmakers like Kevin Smith finance clerk by the time it's
comic book file it's $40,000 Robert Rodriguez produced a Maryachi with credit cards and look at
what they've turned it to. Absolutely and that is such a great thing for all up and coming filmmakers
to know that it's not you're not limited by a budget you know it's all about telling a good story
if you's good words on the page and you put a good team of dedicated people together the story
sells itself absolutely that's all you need is to tell a good story and tell it well and you
have the people with the right motivations and that kind of a thing too it's like this thing
you know it's like we don't get paid for this we do this because we love you have a passion for
do we have a passion for for all things sports entertainment and we just you know the opportunity
that we get to be in here you tell me four years ago that we get to do a couple of live shows
from the Dallas International Film Festival I'm having you drugged yeah I'm having it I'm telling you
to check your hand exactly exactly well you know we all hear that phrase on every TV show and all
kinds of things these days about you know follow your passion money will follow and I think that
that's what you know for you guys as well and all of us in film that's the track world on the
exactly and it's if you're in it for the money then it's not a passion the money's nice don't get
me wrong of course you know this paid my bills that would be the greatest day ever but we're all
at the same journey we're doing it because we love to do it exactly and also that it's a chance
to work with people you like and respect oh yeah that and that's hugely important it is because you
never should work with someone you don't like when it turns into a job it's when you stop doing it
you know this this is how great this industry is um uh Dustin Hoffman said when he was
being into beauty said look let me tell you something if I never became a successful actor he said
and I saw I would probably be selling insurance but I would be acting on the weekends exactly
that's how much I love the industry if you know passion for something yeah you find a way to do it
and nowadays it's so much easier to be able to do it yeah you don't have to go well now I've got
you know I've got to find a million and a half in capital just to get it off the ground it's you know
let me go somewhere that'll let me film something for five minutes and then I get to use the
technology I have and play with it and you know I'm the kind of guy I learned by doing
and you do and to be able to get my hands on something and say oh that's what that does and that's
what makes this do that and it's it's becoming more and more user friendly as time goes on and it's
it's evident here at the Dallas International Film Festival it just the feel of it I was very
nervous coming into this thing because I was like I didn't know what to expect I was like this is
the first time we've done something on this scale but it's I'm so within just a few minutes I was
a lot more relaxed because of the feel of just the people here absolutely and one of the things
that that dip builds himself as is a filmmaker's festival and great hospitality as we're
known for in the state of Texas and so what we do and and that is really true because it's a
great group of people and a matter where you come from when you come to this festival you're
welcome with open arms and people are honestly excited to meet with you and talk with you and see
your work in the celebrator work so it's a nice thing well let's talk about work then you've got the
three the three shorts done yes what's next well talk a right into that thing so I can hear you okay
I'm working on producing several other feature films in the pipeline okay one that is a relating
to Texas music in Texas music story one is a human rights piece okay you're two for two with me
right now and another is a thriller a horror thriller piece that we're working on so
diversity and the the pipelines so we're we're very excited about all of them and they're very
very distinct from each other and that's for sure and that's and you got to love that too right
you can do all these completely different things but they also have that heart of it in the middle of
it with the shorts where do they go from here hopefully with the shorts that you know we'll
finish editing the other two be in time for other deadlines for other festivals we're hoping for
Sundance I know with the other two of course who doesn't hope for Sundance but and then to
to take them around the festival circuit for sure so yeah any any websites you want to plug
Facebook anything we we are all about shameless self promotions so plug away okay you're so great
well just please check out our our page for I was a teenage girl and in our other future film
cry as well that that was your last year that was your last year working on distribution
we're actually playing up at the barebones international festival next week in Oklahoma with that
project and we're and we're getting close to closing a deal for selling it so how standing
everyone out there please send us good vibes because we are starving filmmaker well you want to you
want to tell people about the film so they so they know what they're getting about cry is a coming of age
story that we filmed here in Dallas in the fall of 2011 um which was a great piece to do in our
city because we really got to highlight so many things here including the Episcopal School of Dallas
which we used as this D yes which I'm a grad and um very proud of that and we got to you
film at the school we got to put a lot of the students in the project nice some help to
just behind the scenes originally as PA's and got moved up to grips because they were so talented
nice several people who were extras went on to film school because of their experience on
our set which I'm very proud of that so it was just amazing we filmed on lower green
full we rented some houses on white rock lake and in Sparkman so it was we tried to highlight Dallas
in a good way and it's good to see when you when you talk to people that don't live here yeah
and I'm sure Mr. Neil you would do the same thing it's that always that so does everybody
ride horses it's like no this is a this is a metropollot in town we do other things exactly
and I can't say that I didn't have that stigma before I moved here perfect example of that is
what happened this week at Booker T. Washington High School have you heard about this oh
what I was doing and being in Dallas and playing on every stage news out of Booker T. Washington
this week five students from Booker T. Washington High School we're selected to attend
Juilliard this year and that that doesn't yeah that number is on the herd it doesn't happen
they they average one maybe every year you might get five students selected from the same region
of the country and for members of the empire around the world Booker T. Washington High School in
Dallas is a performing arts high school nor a Jones is a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School
put it to you this way with the final four here in town this weekend go for a go for a
Darious Rucker is doing the the national anthem tomorrow night to open the they're going to be
backing him up these five students are going to be singing back up to Darious Rucker don't give me
on my final four just I know I won't but I'm a huge basketball fan too so I am very proud that
our city is hosting that my I just felt remiss if I didn't bring that and my later basketball
had to bring up the slack for our horrible football season but I well we we have a legit chance
our we have a legit chance right now but we got to get through tomorrow got to get through tomorrow
but that's what's so exciting about all the great things happening in Dallas this week I mean
think of that we've had Conan O'Brien here we have the final four we have the deep Ellen Arts Association
the festival happening we have dip happening this is just an average week here in Dallas there's
always good things in Big D there's a reason I'm taking April 14th off from work I will be sleeping
all day I was telling I was having chat earlier I play in a band and last year I
band played Easter Sunday and I got home and I laid down at four o'clock and I opened my eyes
and it was 9 a.m. the next day that's how I think next Sunday night's going to go exactly
Dallas is such a special place because so much happens all over the world from here
absolutely and it's nice when we have events that like we have this week that we're fortunate
to have that kind of remind people of all the talent here not only in film and music and sports
and business and the talent that comes here Sunday night spring steaks outdoors Dallas has
on Dallas the boss is going to be here exactly the killers to my garage I mean
out of these tonight isn't it you like young band a local band right I mean there's just
there are so many Grammy winners that live here and so many talented people that
and we don't have staying in contact yes that helps a lot
and for any filmmakers out there you know we did pass all those great film incentives for the
state of Texas so it's a lot more advantageous to make film here now and you know speaking
of which we should talk about the Dallas film society they are a huge part of this oh yeah we met
their CEO at the press event he actually did a speech last night they are a huge part of this also
some of our best friends in the entire world on this show allied integrated marketing
they are one of the big sponsors we love them the death that it wasn't for them and the great
Kelly kitchens who were hoping to see I we saw her earlier she said she was going to try to
stop by don's don's on don's on the case for that she is she is one of our favorite people as
well she's working on flutter right now promoting that that's her one film and they're showing
her right now she is so I'm slammed so she's locked in yeah you guys will get her later
I'm sure we'll probably because we're going to be here next Friday night too doing the show
I'm not even more fun than I should be allowed that I'm not lying to you he was so
tense but we were saying he's like I'm nervous I am I'm like well if you weren't nervous
and we wouldn't have a good show that's fair point that's fair point butterflies are always a good
thing because nervous equals excitement in my opinion and that that just pretty much forced you to
raise your raise your game a little bit it's true it keeps you on your toes absolutely absolutely well
you know what let's do some TV headlines while we're sitting here shall we we've got a TV star in
our presence we're on this little TV film and TV fans of nurse Jackie be happy show time has renewed it
for season seven never watched an episode they're alive but you know what I'm an eating falco fan
I am so you know I just I heard with the short hair freaks me out I don't know why I was a fan
of hers which he was on Oz but I know you watch around the soprano so do companies got a new show coming
out I don't know if you've read about this no it's called Aquarius takes place in the late sixties
early seventies he's playing a police sergeant who is on the trail of a young Charles Manson oh god
NBC is picking this up so so you look at kind of direction NBC's going Hannibal Dracula this thing
and it's do company and you know I'm a fan yes so I just by question becomes I'm interested
but how long can you go with this because you'd almost have to re-work it a little bit at a certain point well
I mean it is he's supposed to be playing a real life police investigator is this just no it's just
it's just playing a police sergeant I think it's it's fictional it's kind of a prequel to everybody
knowing who Charlie was okay so that's going to be that's been given a an order from NBC
another project coming to Fox oh this is where I always worry because on one hand you know
I'm going to watch because you know me you know me and you know where this is going I don't know
what project you're talking about so no I'm talking about Gotham oh okay wait you're talking about what
Gotham it's a series that's going to be based on Lieutenant Gordon from Batman when he was just starting out
but it's it's Bruce is going to be about 12 during the run of this series so you're not going to see yes
yeah but it's not going to be about Bruce it's going to be about Gordon that's kind of nice
perspective I actually really appreciate that they're trying to tell a different side of the story because with so many
reboots right see the same story over and over and it's like well I think it's great to reboot a series
but tell us a little different story well what do you want they try to want with birds of prey and it didn't
really I don't think birds of prey got a chance to get it's like it didn't it really good but this one
you're going to have but you're also going to be introduced to a lot of the villains from Batman's world
as they were younger that's kind of neat to see why they became so bad exactly this week the
ridler was cast it would be Cory Michael Smith I've seen a picture of the kid the biggest thing for
me right now is that Harvey Bullock's going to be played by the great Donald Logan you know I'm a huge
Donald Oak fan as am I who was on SVU just a few weeks ago didn't an amazing job on that show
I'm reserving judgment because I haven't seen any footage yet now the girl that's playing Selena
she looks about 12 that kind of freaks me out because she's wearing a little cat ears well
but how old is Bruce going to be it's a pair of points but go I just I don't don't
if they would just go back and listen to the fat man on Batman when Kevin pitches his idea
for blood haven and make that show which is Bruce when he's a teenager in prep school
like you when I listen to that if you'd have been in the car with me you would have seen a
grown man cry that's all I'm saying because it it's just the concept that they came up with was
pure brilliance and I'm gonna have to figure out which that one that was you guys you go back
and watch that lawn order SVU and you know if I'm not mistaken somebody at this table has been
on lawn order I'm not mentioning any names I've been on what lawn order oh yeah I have a lawn
order junkie I it's killing me that I only have one so much yeah it's is law it from an
actor's perspective is law in order a right of passage yes yeah because sometimes more so then
no I'm not gonna say but yes definitely because sometimes I'll go back and watch old episodes
and I'm like whoa look who that is you know there's like what is the first time I saw
if Joe literally I we talk about him on the show he was the guy in super bad that hit him
with the car he graduated from my high school I was in band with his brother law in order was the
first major show I saw him on after he graduated before he did the state and everything I was
didn't you mind if I'm making fanboy out over you here big time for a good one go for it rescue me
what that's right that is one of my favorite shows ever I love rescue me I think Dennis Leary is
genius yeah Dennis Leary I mean the guy is a comedian and he's also a serious actor oh he's so
he was amazing on that show yeah and a guy like that whose father was a firefighter his grandfather
was a firefighter and that passion he has he could look all the plots from that show are taken
from stories my dad told me growing up right you know we just put a modern spin on it and if you
really go back and you look at the cast of that show and see how many directions they've all gone
it's it's just ridiculous um and Steve Bushany was a firefighter and that led him to
a boardwalk empire I love that this is well this is the last season for boardwalk
empire and I'm coming see the last one that show is so good but tomorrow let's talk about Sunday night
my god game of thrones yep and they said they've been saying all along if you know the first three
seasons episode nine was the big one we're doing it right off the bat this year we're going straight
I'm like a whole deer god it's incredible but my favorite episode of boardwalk will always be the
one where they had the New Year's Eve party oh yeah ball good routine and that actress actually
the one that played I think it was Maggie she's from Dallas really Dallas girl is a girl and and
jellica absolutely so it was pretty cool but I great great show amazing production design this
room is incredible Steven Root was actually at the festival last year oh I love that she's talking
about easily one of the most versatile actors walking god's green or they swiss army actor yeah
because you look at him you look at him on yes you look at him on boardwalk empire and then you
remember he's the guy that I was told I could listen to my music at a reasonable level like it's just
that's the same or you look at him on on the west wing he was amazing on that show runner for the
walking dead Scott and Grimple says the next two seasons of the show have already been planned
out no no my daughter so your daughter will she is she his daughter loves the walk I've never
watched an episode it's a very interesting oh she loves her some Norman read this and makes no
bones about it big announcement yesterday huge announcement as to one of my leaders yes I know where
you're going David Letterman says yesterday he will retire next year yep he said he was talking
to less moon beds and he says sometime in 2015 he and Paul are gonna pack it up and ride
off into the sunset and my first thought was my god I'm that old um do you want to hear
I know and Sarah Panley said that he's making room for no blood so they go and chat and I both
agree that we really think that even though right now the odds on favorite is cold bear to take
that job I think you need to move Ferguson into that spot Ferguson is brilliant and they're worried
about his his style translating into the in the 1135 spot I don't think it's gonna be a problem I don't
think it is either because look at what Falon is doing in Leno's spot it's the same thing yeah
Falon has done a great job yeah and and the torch and Ferguson is amazing and I think you do a
great job if he hands down my favorite talk but then you know you move the tell you move the
tonight show from LA to New York so then you just move the late show from New York to LA yeah and
our last TV couple headlines FX has picked up it's always sunny in Philadelphia for two more
years of your fan of that and sci-fi has picked up the 12 monkey series what remember I told you about
this if they're doing it 12 monkey series sci-fi has picked it up for a full season we yeah oh
Don's called in the lefty we got into the bullpen Eric thank you for being here oh she's good
come back oh she's okay okay I was looking sorry I was like wait a minute I looked up and that
something's changed okay we got the director um Michael Tane for Starker he's a producer and
director of the film yeah it's it's coming out tonight and once I come here for a moment
actually not till next Saturday the star club it all premieres at the Texas Theatre and sold out
and it's the story of Dallas in the 80s and we were talking about it last night at the gala
yeah you were you were recognized during the gala last night I was I'm co-founder of this festival so
they're nicer to me than they should be you know we're hearing that a lot tonight and they're
nicer to us than they absolutely have to be I want to talk a little bit about this film because I've
been reading about it's I wasn't a Dallas site until the mid 90s so I missed this entire chapter
Chad is born and raised here absolutely born in Mesquite still lives in Mesquite but you know
since since this is the internet hey G-town since this does go everywhere all over the globe
talk to our audience about the start club and why this was so important to be made as a
documentary oh dear Lord that this film need to be made well if you think about they talk about
the roaring 20s and everybody has an impression of what that look like how crazy it was and how
to control and then you know there was uh how crazy the 60s were the 70s were were the 80s
right after the Vietnam War had ended you basically had this time where there was no struggle
at that level you had the price of oil doubles in Dallas on 1979 so suddenly we were a very
wealthy city you had things like ecstasy was legal and Dallas happened to be the capital of that yep
you had DFW airport opening up the world you had the Cadales Cowboys you had Dallas the
series it was a real estate boom as well exactly and so all this money was coming to the city
you also had the fashion world coming to Dallas because they had just joined the apparel mart
with the fashion trade center so it was one of the fashion capitals of the world and a group of
young Dallas sites decide that they wanted to create the greatest nightclub in the world and they brought
in the leap start the unknown designer who had never designed anything at that point and they
created essentially a museum of people they created a a space where music international music that
had never been heard before fashion tolerance whether you were gay straight black white rich
poor you could had a place at the start club and behind those doors anything went it was our
studio 54 if you really want to break it down that was the studio 54 of the 80s in Dallas
with legal ecstasy and so basically it created the space of tolerance where everyone accepted
everyone and you had the world was looking at us so every band that passed through the city came
to the start club every movie and you got to think about this is the Oliver Stone period so you
got born on the fourth of July so you've got Tom Cruise you have all these talk radio
everybody is passing through Dallas and they have one place to go the start club and this is
going to premiere next Saturday at 730 at the Texas theater if you want to get in I'm
I have to say sorry about your bad luck because this thing is sold out on it and it is one of the
I'm telling you this thing is one of the biggest talk about films of the festival I heard
people outside waiting to get in for words and pictures last night talking about this film
especially. Tell us the name of it again. It's called the start club and it's co-directed by
Miles Hard Grove and produced by Wade Randolph Hampton and Molina McKinnon and Dennis Bishop
it's our goal always we were starting to make a narrative film about the time period and we started
doing research by doing these interviews 125 interviews later and everyone from Philippe Stark
to Peter Hook from New Order to book of love to Owen Wilson Thomas Hayden Church all these people
who the start club meant something to them so really took us in places we never imagined it would go
is this the first screening of the film or has it been screen previously? No this is the first screen
of the film and I've actually not seen the movie yet because we have an animation team Jay
Xu and his group finishing animation on it. Oh wow for months and it's sort of a test screening
because it hasn't been color corrected and we have 28 songs from the 80s. We're working with
Seymour Stein from Sire Records. Oh wow discovered Madonna. Yes sir. Yes the Ramones Tom Tom clubs
in the movie also. Oh wow. Now we've got all of these incredible songs and it's Paul O'Confold
the DJs. Yes sir. You're at a modern DJs who talk about this club being a cornerstone
in the electric dance music movement. So the beginnings for so many people and by the way although
it's sold out having started this festival for a while I'd say they hold back a nice amount of
tickets for sponsors. I have to have solders. So my advice would be go and then afterwards
we're having a party at the start club. Oh really? Book of Love will be DJing. Nice. Hey O'Kee
and this film and some of the original start DJs and we've taken over the club. You are aware
that there's a trailer going around of your film. Oh no. Yeah a couple of weeks ago I saw the
trailer. I had no idea that there was that kind of a movement in in Texas. Let alone they
were showing clubs in full world. I had no idea. Oh yeah this was like when I was going through
high school I graduated in 88 and you always heard the start club mentioned. Always. It was
always on the radio. Something was being promoted. I was like someday I will set foot in this
dark. Well and it's an interesting time too because you think about the 80s it was
Reagan was coming into power. The conservative boom but that you know we already had a lot of that
both politically and religiously and Dallas but you had the Republican National Convention
coming to the city and those people all coming to the start club. George Bush coming to the club
Marine Reagan. It was a time where everything was about to change. Eights had not entered the
picture yet or it had but it hadn't made it to the front. X to C was legal it was about to become
illegal even at that point it was being used for therapy. So it attracts a lot of the roots of that time
period to where we are today. So after the premiere next Saturday is are you taking it around the
country where does the film go now after the premiere? You know we have an amazing group of investors
we're actually going to see how it plays and see what we think about it. We have a big announcement
that we're going to make next week of another executive producer partner who's coming on and
so we may go back into the edit bay we may not but I have a feeling we'll probably take another
month and then we'll decide what we're going to do with it. The whole point too we're developing
a narrative series that will all be set up really in Dallas during the 80s so it's a bit
crime drama it's a bit emotional side-tars it's going to be a real and it's obviously a music
doc there's a lot of music in the dark you're talking to two guys that live breathe and
bleed music especially 80s music because that is our era we're here with Michael Kane who is
the director of Stark world premiere next Saturday night at the Texas theater during the Dallas
International Film Festival. I'm almost out of breath dude like this this night has been amazing
is there anything any new projects you want to plug while you're here? We're actually,
oh the finally is now I'm the executive director of Earth Day Texas which is the largest
come up in three weeks. Three weeks comes up April 26th and 27th in Fair Park it's free
started by tramilless grow and it's kind of incredible polyponic sprees are closing night
bands and over 800 exhibits all of groups coming in talking about the green initiatives and
the Texas music project doing youth bands performing and and if you've never seen the polyponic
spree live do yourself a solid they are amazing live. I love it and fair part it's such a great
venue and it's all free and family and fun and you know that's our big project we're working on a
documentary with my wife of M3 films on Stanley Marcus I just haven't said he was sporting
look I was like oh that's been amazing because the family we've had the blessing of the family
the archives that sit at the degoyer at SMU and we're looking at things like 16 millimeter
footage that they shot of their home videos of them up in the haptains are on a steamer going to
Europe you know it's just unbelievable and it's pristine and the amount of people we've already
interviewed Luchi, Masone Faragamo we've traveled to Italy we've gone to France we're going to New
York and the people who love this band who's also a civil activist so man who in the 60s and 70s
stood up for the right things including what happened after the Kennedy assassination and
including things like inviting the first African American in the nemen Marcus to have lunch
so it's really incredible to watch this man and you know he's shaped the city he's another one
absolutely wow that's gonna be fascinating because as soon as I saw that name come up
of Stanley Marcus documentary I'm like okay Stanley's good and then we're doing a project called
Miracle Fishing which is a true story remember the movie that came out a few years ago
called proof of life yes yes Russell Crowe Meg Ryan exactly well the true story the book that
that was based on is based on Miles Hardrow who's the co-director of Stark it's his family oh wow
from the moment his father was kidnapped he began shooting videos of the process of them not
getting anywhere and bringing on someone to help them get through it and being abandoned by
the corporation and the government and have to eventually free their father and so
that's the next project that we're working on we cannot thank you enough sir for stopping by the
CS if you can get a ticket to this thing next Saturday night you need to do so but and I'll say
one thing that we haven't announced it yet but it looks like there's gonna be because it's sold out
so quickly a 650 seats like all the week we're probably adding another screening the next day
here at the angelica film center is part of the Dallas International Film Festival on the last day of
the festival April the 13th we got to book that that website if people just keep monitoring
Dallas film dot org or start project dot com so start project is the official website for the film
but Dallas film dot org is the official website for the festival and the Dallas Film Society as well
so how do I get a ticket to the film well right now you can't I mean they've got some tickets
set aside for sponsors but if they're going to add that second screening you're going to have a
chance to see this film I mean it's it's kind of like do I go to the angelica or do I go to the
Texas theater to me that's that's an even playing field right you know for people that again
members of the empire are all over the globe if you don't know what the Texas theater is the the
main things it is famous for it is where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested after allegedly shooting
the president and on the 50th anniversary this past November they actually showed the movie he was
watching when he was arrested at the time it wasn't the whole film where they just showed that
that time frame that he was there I don't remember off hand oh I put you on the spot don't go now
don't he's the official fat checker of this show that's what he does but what I love about the
Texas theater too is they do a lot of great retro films like the alamo does a lot of great
documentaries that's a one that I'm personally looking forward to is Jodo Worsties doing and I know
the angelica is going to be showing that next Friday night but and that's what I love about places
like the angelica and the Texas theater is documentary films are such a wonderful wonderful wonderful
thing especially when you're trying to convey something to a generation that has no clue
about the history of their city or the history of their nationality or their family or their
ancestry and you can show them and go look I have this thing that you can see and you can see where
this comes from and theaters like this that aren't afraid to say you know what I'm showing that
where a lot of these bigger theater changes you can't and things like the Dallas International
Film Festival says yes we will house that not only will we do that will feature it for you
oh I got it I found it by the way it was a double feature that was playing that day
war as hell starring Baines Baron and Michael Bell and cry of battle starring Ben Hefflin
James MacArthur there you go well done all right Dawn what's going on brother because it's it's
I'm getting ready to turn into a pumpkin my friend you gotta go catch a movie I'm going I'm going
to try to I said I've been slept well at about four days so I'm running on themes right now I
know I'm planning on one of the films I'm personally looking forward to Monday afternoon the man behind
the mask yes about the the father's son wrestlers in Mexico and what a a big part of our show
is pro wrestling and we're both pro wrestling historians and to see a film like that's especially
if it's who I think it is I'm very excited about that and we talked earlier about in the heat of the
night showing Monday night the original um space battleship Yamato playing on Sunday night last night
words and pictures started off the festival strong beautiful what it's a wonderful film what I love
about it is I can't even put my finger on it it just gave me that good nice warm feeling and a smart movie
well absolutely I love real people play about it and Julie Benoche just knocked it out and
Fred Shepsey you know from rock sand and great movies this even better is like this is somebody
throwing a pitch right into somebody's sweet spot like he just nailed it and I always judge a film
by how long it takes me before I look at my watch I didn't want to look at my watch my only thing was
my day starts at four 15 a.m. so I was more conscious of how late can I get home and still get
enough sleep to get up and go to work tomorrow that I was more worried about that from my watch
standpoint than I was at the runtime of the film because the film flowed so well and the storytelling
was so rich and it just the pace of it was perfect yeah they were great job by everybody
holding that film and to have it produced at a Dallas absolutely latitude Curtis Birch and
Gary co-goal and Richard Tucson and Frankie Day the whole team from Dallas and that's part of
this new voice of Dallas film it's all coming out of this and I thought I saw you guys at the
crow collection of Asian art for the party afterwards but Don was there last night I looked at my
watch and realized I had to get home and you know he was texting me from from the after party last night
I was like oh I wish I could be there I was too much of that Eddie vodka for me Roblox the soft pretzels
and I saw soft pretzels last night I was a boy I tried I was trying to avoid that but it was cool
I mean I night when it was out there in a childhood or lit up open skies it was beautiful last night
yeah perfect start for 11 days people need to know this goes on for 11 days and so they have a lot of
chance it's just like going to a movie theater it's not anymore complicated yeah and it's and that's
all it is and you can buy festival passes so you can pretty much go see whatever you want you can
pick and choose what films you want to see there's events around almost every film whether it's a
Q&A or whether it's a special screening I know they're showing stage coach and John Wayne's family
is going to be in attendance for the screening of stage coach when I don't know off hand I'm
but I know that's that's going to be happening as well
