4:01
Speaker 2: M's so funny, funny. What's funny about that?
4:05
Speaker 3: I mean it's hysterical because we've got this compass and
4:08
Speaker 3: nobody's really using it.
4:09
Speaker 6: Because we have ways.
4:10
Speaker 3: Now, and we're still assigning directions to different towns like
4:15
Speaker 3: we're eighteenth century soldiers, Like what is West Virginia? What
4:19
Speaker 3: are we talking about? Oh God, I can't stop laughing.
4:26
Speaker 1: That's all right. Why do we still use directions when
4:28
Speaker 1: we have ways? That's a really fun.
4:29
Speaker 2: It's honestly, that could be a movie kind of like
4:32
Speaker 2: the change like what Ways did to the industry of
4:35
Speaker 2: directions of coming fantastic.
4:38
Speaker 6: So you say some movie we should talk about, that.
4:40
Speaker 2: We should talk about.
4:41
Speaker 1: Let's all write that down because the ways movies.
4:44
Speaker 2: Really, that's mine, mine, mine, mine.
4:47
Speaker 1: Okay, mine is yours.
4:48
Speaker 2: I guess if yours, I would love to work on
4:50
Speaker 2: it for you guys, but it's mine, it's mine.
4:52
Speaker 1: Well you did you did say something that is really
4:56
Speaker 1: interesting to me, which is that should be a movie.
4:58
Speaker 1: It's something we probably all say because we've made movies
5:01
Speaker 1: out of things that aren't frequently or previously movies. Right,
5:05
Speaker 1: we're the kind of people that look at something we go, oh,
5:07
Speaker 1: that should be a movie, and that's all of our movies.
5:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to it. I mean, I'm so interested
5:12
Speaker 2: to sit with you guys on zoom and figure out,
5:14
Speaker 2: you know, how your movies came to be and what
5:18
Speaker 2: importance you saw in your movies.
5:19
Speaker 1: Haven't we all go around, we say our names, and
5:21
Speaker 1: then we say what movie we're working on?
5:24
Speaker 2: Love that that sounds great?
5:26
Speaker 3: I'll go I'm Lisa Blazer and I wrote the Claw
5:32
Speaker 3: Machine movie. So it is a full blown, big budget,
5:37
Speaker 3: big flashy, incredible name animated adaptation of everyone's favorite video game,
5:45
Speaker 3: The Claw Machine.
5:47
Speaker 4: You put air quotes around, wrote.
5:50
Speaker 3: Oh, well, I like to do that for legal. I
5:53
Speaker 3: wrote it in that I hired the most amazing writer
5:57
Speaker 3: and I said, I have your next idea and she
6:03
Speaker 3: says okay, and I said, are you sitting down? And
6:07
Speaker 3: she said yes, and I said claw Machine. She asked
6:11
Speaker 3: me many follow up questions which I did not answer,
6:15
Speaker 3: and I knew she would pull it off, and she did.
6:18
Speaker 6: Are we are?
6:19
Speaker 3: We were familiar with Rosa, with Rosa, Rosa Rosa.
6:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, So anyway, that's my deal. I am.
6:31
Speaker 3: And a Claw Machine Nation hits theaters in November twenty
6:36
Speaker 3: twenty three, and we're very excited to announce we haven't
6:41
Speaker 3: actually announced this yet, that Jack Black will be playing
6:45
Speaker 3: the Claw and Rebel Wilson would be playing the machine.
6:49
Speaker 2: Oh, different voices. It's not one voice for the claw machine.
6:54
Speaker 3: So we dig into this in the story a little bit,
6:57
Speaker 3: but we view the claw and the machine is completely
6:59
Speaker 3: different at to tees and it's a story of two
7:02
Speaker 3: beings sort of working together to solve a problem.
7:06
Speaker 4: Like a Romeo and Juliet.
7:09
Speaker 6: Yes, exactly.
7:14
Speaker 4: A problem.
7:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nice.
7:17
Speaker 1: And it's like star cross levers because one of them
7:18
Speaker 1: is literally already inside the other one. It's like if
7:21
Speaker 1: I fell in love with my tongue.
7:25
Speaker 2: It is.
7:25
Speaker 3: It's exactly like when you know those little oh my god,
7:29
Speaker 3: what are they I'm obsessed with them. It's like the
7:32
Speaker 3: the little cleaner fish that live inside the bigger fish's mouth.
7:35
Speaker 1: Are you talking about plecostumus is the type of fish
7:38
Speaker 1: that's in a fish tank. And then the remoras you're
7:40
Speaker 1: talking about on the bottom of the shark and stuff.
7:42
Speaker 6: Oh my god.
7:43
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's a movie.
7:46
Speaker 2: That's a movie.
7:47
Speaker 1: It is a movie. It's actually I'm doing it after
7:49
Speaker 1: my movie Aquarium. In the movie, I'm working on.
7:50
Speaker 6: That aquarium metaphore huge.
7:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's okay, next I can go uh yeah.
8:01
Speaker 2: My name is doctor Phyllis Jones, and.
8:07
Speaker 4: We have a doctor in the house.
8:10
Speaker 6: What kind of doctor.
8:12
Speaker 2: I'm a doctor of psychology. I'm a doctor of psychology
8:18
Speaker 2: who has switched into producing movies. And I've got a
8:22
Speaker 2: big movie coming out. It's called Charades. It's about the
8:28
Speaker 2: origin story of how the game that we all know
8:31
Speaker 2: and love that changed parties forever came.
8:34
Speaker 1: To It's a prequel to the game.
8:38
Speaker 2: It's a prequel to the game. It's kind of how
8:40
Speaker 2: the game got developed. And I will reveal that you're
8:44
Speaker 2: going to see, you know, it's kind of like the
8:46
Speaker 2: rise in the fall of the creator of the game.
8:49
Speaker 2: You know, what happens when the fame of such a
8:52
Speaker 2: successful party game gets to your head?
8:54
Speaker 6: And who is that creator?
8:57
Speaker 2: The creator of charades? He he's a guy named Marvin.
9:01
Speaker 4: Geck, Marvin Gek.
9:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is a fascinating person and I got to
9:11
Speaker 2: follow him. It follows the life of Marvin Geck kind
9:15
Speaker 2: of right when he starts the game to kind of
9:18
Speaker 2: the sad ending of where he is now in his life.
9:21
Speaker 2: And I don't want to reveal too much. He's still alive, barely,
9:27
Speaker 2: but he's still alive, got it, still just holding off.
9:33
Speaker 4: Think good thoughts for him.
9:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome.
9:36
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:36
Speaker 2: So me and my son we were playing charades and
9:39
Speaker 2: I said, how did this come to be? You know?
9:40
Speaker 2: And my son goes, well, I just look at this
9:42
Speaker 2: Wikipedia article. Turns out to be the most fascinating story
9:46
Speaker 2: you would ever read about an individual and what happened
9:49
Speaker 2: to this man named Marvin Gek who invented the game
9:52
Speaker 2: of charades? How it got invented, you know, in the
9:56
Speaker 2: life and trials of the man. You know.
9:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm so glad that Wikipedia is here because
10:02
Speaker 3: there are.
10:03
Speaker 6: So what would we do movies?
10:05
Speaker 2: Yes, what would we do? Sometimes I'll just click and
10:08
Speaker 2: click and click and click until I find a good story,
10:10
Speaker 2: you know.
10:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they call my agent.
10:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll buy the IP immediately.
10:15
Speaker 4: What about you, sir.
10:17
Speaker 1: My name is Danny Krabtree. I am a director. I
10:20
Speaker 1: live in Arkansas, and I am proud to be the
10:25
Speaker 1: creator and director and writer of the upcoming Big Buck
10:30
Speaker 1: Hunter for Disney Plus.
10:33
Speaker 2: It's on Disney Plus.
10:35
Speaker 1: It's on Disney Plus. It is a limited series technically
10:38
Speaker 1: a movie. That's why I'm here.
10:39
Speaker 6: You know.
10:40
Speaker 1: We were shooting it and we said, we have a
10:42
Speaker 1: lot more story to tell than just this one and
10:44
Speaker 1: a half hours. So they said, okay, we'll give you
10:47
Speaker 1: some more money. We give money out, let's fire about
10:49
Speaker 1: forty to fifty more people were able to give you
10:51
Speaker 1: more money. So they did that, and they I think
10:54
Speaker 1: they got rid of, like, you know, a quarter of
10:56
Speaker 1: their hr in Shanghai. And then we got to make
10:58
Speaker 1: more horror movie, which.
10:59
Speaker 4: Is really nice, absolute incredible.
11:03
Speaker 1: I love them over there. They've been so nice to me.
11:06
Speaker 1: We had a lot of fun adapting Big Buck Hunter.
11:09
Speaker 1: You might know it as that game that you play
11:10
Speaker 1: when you're drinking at a dive bar. You never want
11:13
Speaker 1: to go back to the only thing that you can
11:15
Speaker 1: stare at when everything else is covered in swastikas and
11:18
Speaker 1: other disgusting things. At a dive bar, you know, either
11:21
Speaker 1: watch too Toudy's Makeout or play Big Buck Hunter. That's
11:23
Speaker 1: what we do. So, wow, it's really fun. We've been
11:26
Speaker 1: adapting it. We've been having a lot of fun. We
11:28
Speaker 1: kind of took a Mandalorian take on it. So the
11:31
Speaker 1: Big Buck Hunter himself is a mysterious character who goes
11:35
Speaker 1: to different wear.
11:36
Speaker 2: Does he wear a mask? Do you ever get to
11:38
Speaker 2: see his face?
11:39
Speaker 1: He wears a big hat that covers his eyes.
11:42
Speaker 6: Oh, sort of.
11:44
Speaker 1: Yeah. If Cia is a trucker, imagine that and.
11:48
Speaker 2: I weirdly can, I weirdly can. Yeah.
11:51
Speaker 1: So there's a rumor that she is a trucker and
11:53
Speaker 1: we called her to see if she was available, and
11:55
Speaker 1: she said, I can't do the wiga in the hat
11:56
Speaker 1: and he said, well, maybe take the wig off and
11:58
Speaker 1: she literally hung up and literally, don't ask see to
12:03
Speaker 1: take your wig off. Trust me. We got letters from her.
12:07
Speaker 1: She wrote me thirty letters. It was crazy. She wrote
12:10
Speaker 1: me a lot of letters. How dare you asking me
12:12
Speaker 1: to take my wig off? I'm never gonna do that anything,
12:14
Speaker 1: that's incredible. But yeah, so go to different cities and
12:17
Speaker 1: and and he and he hunts he hunts bucks and
12:20
Speaker 1: it's really fun. It's been hard on Disney Plus because
12:23
Speaker 1: they obviously don't want us killing animals because they did
12:25
Speaker 1: make us make the animals talk, so it's very complicated.
12:29
Speaker 2: But that was interesting because I read in the deadline
12:31
Speaker 2: they're trying to tie in the Bambi ip into Big
12:34
Speaker 2: Buck Hunter.
12:35
Speaker 1: There's a big crossover, just like in Mandalorian when they
12:37
Speaker 1: when they.
12:39
Speaker 2: Trying to open up the universe.
12:40
Speaker 1: And I don't want to spoil it, but at the
12:41
Speaker 1: end of season one, uh, there is a situation where yeah,
12:47
Speaker 1: he stumbles into Bambi I p and uh, let's just
12:50
Speaker 1: say we find out who the faceless killer in uh
12:54
Speaker 1: the movie is. It's it's Big Gun.
12:57
Speaker 2: I'm so interested to see how they saved his character
13:00
Speaker 2: after that is a huge.
13:03
Speaker 3: It's hard it any did you write that's redeemable?
13:09
Speaker 1: You're saying, I'm saying, you're saying they figured it out.
13:12
Speaker 1: They's me, My gosh, pays me. I've been trying to
13:16
Speaker 1: figure it out. So what I've been doing is I've
13:18
Speaker 1: been just kind of writing that he donates to a
13:20
Speaker 1: lot of charities.
13:23
Speaker 2: That's always a good way to save. If you want
13:26
Speaker 2: to make as like screenwriting one on one for anybody listening,
13:28
Speaker 2: if you want to make a character likable and redeemable,
13:31
Speaker 2: just say that they donate to a lot of charities.
13:34
Speaker 3: Checks You can do whatever you want. They can do
13:39
Speaker 3: anything in the movie. But if they donate to Goodwill,
13:42
Speaker 3: if they drop off a bag of clothes at the end,
13:44
Speaker 3: one bag done.
13:45
Speaker 1: Saved, that's so exciting. The hunter, as we call him,
13:50
Speaker 1: he in the back seat. He has a bag, a
13:54
Speaker 1: trash bag full of old flannel shirts. And you see
13:57
Speaker 1: it in the back of his truck, in the back
13:59
Speaker 1: seat of his Silverado, just driving around and you see
14:03
Speaker 1: it every time and he and he drives by and
14:05
Speaker 1: he goes, is it time for me to donate? And
14:07
Speaker 1: then of course, wow, I can't because he has more
14:10
Speaker 1: hunting to do.
14:11
Speaker 4: But isn't that the sequel to Save the Cat? That
14:16
Speaker 4: screenwriting book? It's screen Uh, save the cat? And then
14:20
Speaker 4: save the Cat too? Is bag of flannels in the trunk?
14:24
Speaker 5: Oh?
14:24
Speaker 2: I love that. That needs to be a movie. Save
14:27
Speaker 2: the Cat too. Bag of Flannels in the in the
14:28
Speaker 2: trunk it's such.
14:29
Speaker 1: A good idea. I would love to see a movie
14:31
Speaker 1: based on a book about screenwriters.
14:33
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, so glad to be here. I'm JK. I'm
14:37
Speaker 4: a video game developer turned filmmaker, so this is new
14:40
Speaker 4: for me. Filmmaking is new for me. I grew up
14:42
Speaker 4: making video games. Some of you guys know my dad
14:46
Speaker 4: is Jeremy pac Man. He created pac Man, the legend him.
14:51
Speaker 2: Yeah.
14:52
Speaker 4: One might say I'm a game nepotism baby, but I
14:56
Speaker 4: didn't grow up in Hollywood.
14:57
Speaker 6: That's catchy.
14:58
Speaker 4: I'm kind of learning Hollywood. But I'm really glad to
15:03
Speaker 4: be here. I worked on a movie that's about to
15:05
Speaker 4: come out, my first ever movie and I'm the first
15:08
Speaker 4: ever first time director for sim screenwriter. Is we sports
15:12
Speaker 4: the movie? And I'm really excited about it.
15:13
Speaker 2: What kind of movie is this? Is it like an
15:15
Speaker 2: animated or is it kind of like? What? What? What
15:18
Speaker 2: is the movie like?
15:19
Speaker 1: Yeah?
15:19
Speaker 4: So it is a similar to Space Jam, where we
15:22
Speaker 4: are combining live action and animation together. We are having
15:26
Speaker 4: a lot of starring freakin' dare I say? I mean
15:31
Speaker 4: it's already been released, but Helen Mirren, we yeah.
15:39
Speaker 3: Like the same sort of de aging technology that's been
15:42
Speaker 3: going crazy. Y you did the same thing to make
15:45
Speaker 3: Helen Mirran Space look like one of those mes.
15:48
Speaker 4: No, we have Helen Mirren playing the me, and the
15:53
Speaker 4: technology behind this was absolutely incredible. And we have a Sree,
15:59
Speaker 4: the the Serena Williams. Y Serena Williams is the lead
16:06
Speaker 4: of our tennis storyline. We have a couple of storylines
16:09
Speaker 4: weaving together, all brought to you together by.
16:12
Speaker 6: Oh my God, like Valentine's Day.
16:15
Speaker 4: Not really, though, we have three main storylines bowling, tennis,
16:19
Speaker 4: and we walking, which, believe it or not, we made
16:22
Speaker 4: just for the movie. It doesn't exist in the game.
16:24
Speaker 1: I do believe you made this for the movie.
16:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great. So just a quick question, how is
16:28
Speaker 2: it more like Space Jam and less like Valentine's Day.
16:32
Speaker 2: That's where I'm a little loss.
16:33
Speaker 4: So Helen Mirren is the me, which is a animated character,
16:40
Speaker 4: and we are putting the animated character in a live
16:43
Speaker 4: action like tennis tournament or a bowling alley.
16:46
Speaker 2: We filled Helen Marry the actress, gets sucked into the
16:50
Speaker 2: world of we sports and now has to compete in
16:54
Speaker 2: all these different sports to survive.
16:56
Speaker 1: But it sounds like she gets sucked in. But then
17:00
Speaker 1: so she turns into a me and then she goes
17:02
Speaker 1: to a real bowling alley.
17:03
Speaker 4: Yes, and then she's at a bowling alley in Van Eyes. Okay,
17:08
Speaker 4: and that's what's crazy. I mean, guys, I'm sitting at
17:10
Speaker 4: a table, and I think all of us can agree.
17:13
Speaker 4: High concept, high concept, high concept.
17:15
Speaker 1: Absolutely fill it with stuff.
17:18
Speaker 3: With stuff, spell it with stuff, take stuff, fill it
17:22
Speaker 3: with stuff.
17:22
Speaker 6: Make a movie.
17:23
Speaker 2: That was I was going to take you know, what
17:25
Speaker 2: are the liberties you guys are taking in the movies,
17:28
Speaker 2: because there's a you know, the IP doesn't always give
17:31
Speaker 2: you everything. You've got to take liberties, and we're sitting
17:34
Speaker 2: at it.
17:34
Speaker 4: Sure literally doesn't give you everything.
17:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, that should be a movie. That should be a movie.
17:39
Speaker 1: That should be.
17:42
Speaker 6: That should be IP, which in turn should be a movie.
17:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.
17:45
Speaker 3: I'll say we took a lot of liberties with the
17:49
Speaker 3: fact that the claw machine in real life does not
17:52
Speaker 3: talk right, so we had to come up.
17:55
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you that, like, how did
17:57
Speaker 2: you guys get around that? Because that seems like a.
18:00
Speaker 3: Really tough And this was something I debated with with
18:03
Speaker 3: Rosa for like a long time because she brought me
18:06
Speaker 3: in this first draft where you know the claw Machine,
18:09
Speaker 3: and at this point it was all one thing, which
18:11
Speaker 3: I'm so glad we killed because we found this wonderful
18:14
Speaker 3: thing where it's two different actors.
18:17
Speaker 6: But she would come in with this.
18:18
Speaker 3: Draft where the claw Machine was talking and it was
18:22
Speaker 3: a story about being yourself like that didn't fit in
18:25
Speaker 3: with the other video games. And I said, Rosa, I
18:29
Speaker 3: have a problem. Claw machines don't talk. I need to rewrite.
18:33
Speaker 3: And so she came back in and she was hesitant.
18:36
Speaker 3: She thought that the movie would be a little static.
18:41
Speaker 3: And then I read the rewrite. There was no dialogue
18:43
Speaker 3: in it, and I said, Rosa, this is not a
18:45
Speaker 3: silent film.
18:47
Speaker 6: And then she came.
18:47
Speaker 3: Back and she added more dialogue, and it was upsetting
18:50
Speaker 3: to me. And so we kind of went back and
18:53
Speaker 3: forth and back and forth between talking and no talking,
18:56
Speaker 3: and talking and no talking, and we gradually landed on
18:59
Speaker 3: this fantastic final product where half the time the claw
19:03
Speaker 3: Machine is talking, and then half the time its voice
19:07
Speaker 3: is stolen by Ursula, who's a different character.
19:10
Speaker 6: In in in the.
19:14
Speaker 2: Is she.
19:16
Speaker 6: No So Ursula plays an Ursula is.
19:20
Speaker 3: An octopus in the daven Buster's game, where you reel
19:25
Speaker 3: in Fish.
19:27
Speaker 1: Okay, so that sounds very similar to and Ursula steals
19:31
Speaker 1: the claw Machine's voice because that's so that's exactly so
19:35
Speaker 1: so Ursula in the Little Have you seen Little Mermaid?
19:38
Speaker 1: It's by Disney.
19:39
Speaker 6: This is what Rosa said, and it really confused me.
19:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so this was your pitch.
19:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, this was based on a dream I had, So
19:49
Speaker 6: I don't.
19:49
Speaker 4: Think it was a dream.
19:52
Speaker 2: Can I ask? Does the machine make maybe a deal
19:55
Speaker 2: with the octopus to like win something or maybe be
19:59
Speaker 2: a video game or something.
20:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, now you're thinking like a screenwriter.
20:03
Speaker 3: So yes, she gives her her voice away in exchange
20:07
Speaker 3: for being a popular game, for getting a slot in
20:11
Speaker 3: the new arcade built down the street called Donnie and Bingos.
20:15
Speaker 6: And so this sort.
20:16
Speaker 3: Of this octopus character escapes from her video game to
20:21
Speaker 3: make this deal, and you'll have to see what happens
20:25
Speaker 3: in the end. But it followed my dream very closely.
20:29
Speaker 2: Wow, when did you have this dream?
20:35
Speaker 6: You have a date specific, So it was so funny.
20:40
Speaker 3: I had this dream right after So, uh, I had
20:47
Speaker 3: this dream right after Disney put out this trailer starring
20:52
Speaker 3: do you know Chloe and Hal the.
20:57
Speaker 6: Yes, they're fantastic they're two artists.
20:59
Speaker 3: And one of them is in some sort of movie.
21:03
Speaker 3: I never saw the trailer, but I did have a
21:05
Speaker 3: dream about this sort of octopus character named Ursula, and
21:10
Speaker 3: I woke up and I said, oh my god, I'm
21:12
Speaker 3: a genius.
21:13
Speaker 1: Who's playing her in the movie.
21:16
Speaker 3: Well in the movie, it's Melissa McCarthy, okay, in your movie?
21:20
Speaker 4: In your movie? Yeah, okay.
21:22
Speaker 3: Well I dreamed it up that way, and so I
21:25
Speaker 3: knew we had to get Melissa for this.
21:28
Speaker 4: Do you find that you pull from your dreams a lot?
21:32
Speaker 6: I would say, yeah.
21:33
Speaker 3: I mean, I you know, I am a writer in
21:37
Speaker 3: that I dream about things and then I communicate them
21:40
Speaker 3: to screenwriters. I had this other wonderful dream recently that
21:45
Speaker 3: I'm currently adopting.
21:47
Speaker 6: It's about this lion.
21:49
Speaker 3: That really deeply wants to be a monarch, and he
21:54
Speaker 3: is on this rock with all these other lions.
21:59
Speaker 4: He wants to.
22:00
Speaker 2: Be, I think lion king, But I don't remember him
22:04
Speaker 2: really wanting to be a monarch in that movie.
22:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, this makes me feel like better that you don't
22:09
Speaker 4: actually have dreams that are straight up Disney ip. It
22:11
Speaker 4: feels like this one's different.
22:13
Speaker 2: Lightly, Yeah, I'm confused.
22:15
Speaker 6: Why Disney is entering the conversation because this.
22:17
Speaker 3: Is a dream I had, and this lion had this
22:20
Speaker 3: uncle who was you know, had this slash across his
22:25
Speaker 3: face and that's why his name was Slash.
22:27
Speaker 6: And he really wanted to be the monarch. He wanted
22:30
Speaker 6: to be the Lion monarch.
22:32
Speaker 2: And so was your dream called Lion Monarch?
22:36
Speaker 6: It was called the Lion Monarch.
22:38
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, miss Blazer. I would I would recommend
22:42
Speaker 1: because I am working for Disney. I would be careful
22:45
Speaker 1: with that kind of I know you're not stealing from
22:48
Speaker 1: them on purpose, and that sounds like lateral thinking.
22:51
Speaker 4: Sounds like all dream play.
22:53
Speaker 1: Sounds all dream play and it's just happening and you're
22:55
Speaker 1: but now, I would maybe take a look through their
22:57
Speaker 1: catalog and know it's a lot, but if you it
22:59
Speaker 1: might be help for you to make sure that you
23:01
Speaker 1: don't have anything that overlaps with him. There's a couple
23:03
Speaker 1: of these ideas.
23:04
Speaker 2: We're really they're really really close. Really, I mean, this.
23:09
Speaker 6: Is the first I'm hearing of this. No one in
23:11
Speaker 6: my circle has brought this up.
23:13
Speaker 4: So Rosa brought it up.
23:15
Speaker 3: I think my circle is Rosa and my assistant, who
23:19
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, I can't hear her most of the time.
23:25
Speaker 6: She sounds such a small voice.
23:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do.
23:29
Speaker 1: I feel like they're making Assistance smaller and smaller nowadays,
23:33
Speaker 1: specifically smaller.
23:35
Speaker 4: I can't tell what it is because sometimes it's like,
23:38
Speaker 4: do you do you want to sound like that?
23:40
Speaker 2: Was?
23:40
Speaker 4: Did someone tell you to sound like that?
23:42
Speaker 1: Absolute?
23:44
Speaker 3: Catherine sounds like an eighty bitty little ant.
23:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's like my son. I can barely hear him.
23:51
Speaker 2: I can barely hear him. He mumbles all the time,
23:55
Speaker 2: just mumble over.
23:57
Speaker 6: You know, it's your son. Heavily involved in the movie Assistant.
24:02
Speaker 2: So my son has helped me. He wrote it. He
24:05
Speaker 2: helped me write it. We've kind of been from the
24:07
Speaker 2: ground up pitching to studios. He's been in there the
24:10
Speaker 2: whole time. He's been great helping me out with this.
24:15
Speaker 2: So that is great news. And I love my son.
24:19
Speaker 2: But boy does he mumble. He mumbles so much. I
24:23
Speaker 2: mean talking about liberties for charades. The original story, Marvin
24:29
Speaker 2: Geck was sitting at a party and came up with it.
24:33
Speaker 2: He saw somebody trying to explain somebody to somebody else,
24:35
Speaker 2: and he said it would be hilarious if they were
24:40
Speaker 2: they couldn't talk in God.
24:42
Speaker 4: What a moment in actual history.
24:44
Speaker 2: That must well he used yeah, he used otherwise, that
24:48
Speaker 2: was nice. And that was nineteen sixty one when he
24:52
Speaker 2: did that, nineteen sixty one and he was using other words.
24:55
Speaker 2: He's a very racist bad man. So we had to
24:57
Speaker 2: take liberties to change that. He was going, you know,
25:00
Speaker 2: saying much worse things about you know.
25:03
Speaker 1: So doctor do I call you doctor Jones? Doctor Phillis? Like,
25:06
Speaker 1: what do you call me?
25:07
Speaker 2: Phyllis? You can call me doctor Phillis, You can call
25:09
Speaker 2: me doctor Jones, whatever you want, doctor Phillis. Doctor Phillis
25:14
Speaker 2: like doctor phil.
25:14
Speaker 6: He kinda so any relation.
25:18
Speaker 2: No, that's a first name. That's not how that works.
25:21
Speaker 1: Okay, got it?
25:22
Speaker 3: Okay, because the two words sounds so similar to me,
25:24
Speaker 3: I was just like, you guys have to be.
25:26
Speaker 6: Are you sure?
25:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it not how first names work. If your
25:31
Speaker 2: name is tom and the other person's name is Tommy,
25:33
Speaker 2: no relation, that's that's it's usually the last name would
25:36
Speaker 2: be interesting.
25:37
Speaker 6: That's so interesting.
25:39
Speaker 1: So okay, So doctor Phillis, you uh you you created this, uh,
25:46
Speaker 1: this whole story. So you you took a lot of liberties.
25:49
Speaker 1: You said just a bit.
25:50
Speaker 2: You know, the original story is so raw and so dangerous.
25:55
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes you have to add a little heat
25:57
Speaker 2: and a little love and a little bit of spice.
25:59
Speaker 1: To social research experience, Like did you did you dive
26:02
Speaker 1: into the research? Did you have someone else do the research?
26:04
Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly didn't have to do a lot
26:06
Speaker 1: of researching. I've been growing up a group around hunters
26:09
Speaker 1: my whole life, so I didn't I didn't need to
26:11
Speaker 1: look what it was like to be a hunter, you know,
26:13
Speaker 1: the character, you know, but you were going on for
26:15
Speaker 1: real person.
26:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, So our research, we had a meeting with Marvin
26:20
Speaker 2: Gick and he is so close to death that you know,
26:26
Speaker 2: he tells us this story takes about five minutes, and
26:29
Speaker 2: we go, okay, the rest is what we're going to
26:32
Speaker 2: make up. So we added a lot, a lot, a
26:34
Speaker 2: lot to this. He spoke to him for five minutes,
26:38
Speaker 2: five minutes, but the nurse said he has to go
26:40
Speaker 2: to bed, and you know, we asked him, he said,
26:43
Speaker 2: I said, how did this come? He said, well, I'm
26:46
Speaker 2: sitting at a party, you know, and he used some
26:48
Speaker 2: bad words, bad words, and he said this, you know,
26:51
Speaker 2: this is a specific type of party, and somebody's talking
26:54
Speaker 2: like a dummy, and I don't and I don't want
26:56
Speaker 2: to say what he called that dumb person, and then
26:58
Speaker 2: he said, so I said, shut your mouth and try
27:00
Speaker 2: to explain it to him. Now we're playing a game.
27:02
Speaker 2: Drink and that was it, And I said what happened
27:05
Speaker 2: after that? He said, I don't know. I went to
27:07
Speaker 2: sleep immediately. So the rest of.
27:10
Speaker 6: Our captivating stories.
27:12
Speaker 2: It's so captain and this guy, you guys have to
27:14
Speaker 2: meet him. He's absolutely captivating.
27:17
Speaker 4: He's when you talk about him, it sounds just like
27:19
Speaker 4: that lin Manuel Miranda when he talks about Alexander Hamilton
27:23
Speaker 4: and you talk about Marvin Gick.
27:24
Speaker 2: Yes, I feel like that's a lot of my inspiration.
27:28
Speaker 2: I saw that lin Manuel was doing Hamilton and I said, now,
27:31
Speaker 2: wait just a second. You can do that.
27:36
Speaker 6: And that's isn't that what movie making is?
27:41
Speaker 4: You can do that.
27:43
Speaker 2: You can wait a second.
27:44
Speaker 6: To second, you can do that.
27:47
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I watched my dad make a fortune all
27:50
Speaker 4: forget and high as fuck and making a little drawing
27:54
Speaker 4: and animating that drawing to eat things, and suddenly I
27:58
Speaker 4: was living in bel Air, growing up, having going from
28:02
Speaker 4: home to home just like rich Off. My ass and
28:04
Speaker 4: I went, you can do that, and that's why I said,
28:08
Speaker 4: I want to be in the film industry. I want
28:10
Speaker 4: to go to media.
28:11
Speaker 1: What was the inspiration if you? I've always been wondering.
28:13
Speaker 1: I know your dad was famously secretive about where the
28:18
Speaker 1: inspiration for pac Man came from. What that shape was
28:21
Speaker 1: taken from? Can you could you tell us right now?
28:25
Speaker 4: I don't like to talk much about my dad. I
28:27
Speaker 4: like to separate it from because my dad's a different guy.
28:30
Speaker 4: He's a media Mongol, you know what I mean.
28:32
Speaker 2: He's very a Mongol, a Mongorel, and I'm not a mocl.
28:39
Speaker 1: He's like a Mongolian. Is he like a Mongolian where
28:49
Speaker 1: like like Genghis Khan where he takes over places and
28:53
Speaker 1: he just like does raise exactly.
28:55
Speaker 4: My dad is. He's a Mongol. He is a media
28:58
Speaker 4: Mongol and he'll take over. And that's why I like
29:01
Speaker 4: to just I mean, I am thankful for him. I
29:03
Speaker 4: grew up in immense wealth, so I'm really lucky and
29:07
Speaker 4: I got to meet a lot of people because of
29:08
Speaker 4: my dad being a media Mongol. But I will say
29:12
Speaker 4: I I don't like to associate myself with him in
29:15
Speaker 4: terms of just like I like to make press about
29:18
Speaker 4: the Wei movie, but I will say my dad's mouth
29:20
Speaker 4: is shaped like that. That's what I'll say.
29:22
Speaker 3: Oh, is his head shaped like that?
29:26
Speaker 6: Or no, but that's how he eats and young.
29:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's kind of where the inspiration came from.
29:33
Speaker 4: But that's not that's not my story to tell, and
29:36
Speaker 4: I like to separate it and talk more about we sports.
29:40
Speaker 2: The movie. Well, that's great. Yeah.
29:42
Speaker 4: Did you guys pick your video games or did your
29:44
Speaker 4: video games pick you?
29:46
Speaker 2: Oh?
29:46
Speaker 1: My video game picked me. I mean I was the
29:48
Speaker 1: top score at a big Big Buck Hunter at the
29:52
Speaker 1: at the Stink Pit in Arkadelphia, one of my favorite
29:57
Speaker 1: favorite dive bars. Wow, just think put all the time,
30:01
Speaker 1: and I won that game frequently. People used to stand
30:04
Speaker 1: around and watch me play and it was really, really fun.
30:06
Speaker 1: And what's crazy about it is I played so much
30:10
Speaker 1: that I got the top score. Again, I always put
30:12
Speaker 1: ass Ass, even though that's not my name, because that
30:15
Speaker 1: was what I would say. My name was just for
30:17
Speaker 1: fun to be laughed at. But so the top ten scores,
30:23
Speaker 1: isn't you.
30:23
Speaker 2: Got a that's got to the top score And iverybody's
30:28
Speaker 2: trying to figure out like a murder mystery.
30:30
Speaker 4: That reminds me of Hamilton a little bit.
30:32
Speaker 1: Well, so that is my work, so I will say that.
30:35
Speaker 1: I'm going to claim that. So don't I don't want
30:38
Speaker 1: you guys getting any ideas I think asked the movie. Well,
30:41
Speaker 1: it's been ok.
30:42
Speaker 6: We had the idea, though to think that is a
30:44
Speaker 6: good idea.
30:45
Speaker 1: I know we're gonna have to do it.
30:48
Speaker 4: Because we technically could own the idea of people owning
30:51
Speaker 4: the idea, right, because there's all these stories right right,
30:54
Speaker 4: not the film itself or not the game itself, but
30:57
Speaker 4: the making up.
30:58
Speaker 1: So you guys are gonna get it. You're gonna make
30:59
Speaker 1: a movie about how I came up with writing ass
31:02
Speaker 1: on Big Bug Hunter.
31:04
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a beautiful story. It's just like le Manuel
31:06
Speaker 4: Miranda without ten dram.
31:08
Speaker 2: You know this because I this is exactly my wheel.
31:11
Speaker 2: Hust I owned the ip for the idea of making
31:14
Speaker 2: a movie about the of Leonardo da Vinci, and I
31:17
Speaker 2: know I owned the ipa of the idea of Johnny
31:21
Speaker 2: Appleseed movie. So it's great.
31:24
Speaker 1: Well, well, what I wanted to say was when I
31:26
Speaker 1: got all those ten asses on the screen and I
31:28
Speaker 1: wrote ass ten times. Uh. As soon as I did that,
31:32
Speaker 1: the machine of the game itself unlocked, and I got
31:36
Speaker 1: to go. There was a little thing inside, and there
31:38
Speaker 1: was an envelope and it said to the person who
31:41
Speaker 1: gets all ten scores. No, I didn't say Rhode ass,
31:44
Speaker 1: that would freak me out. It would be the same
31:46
Speaker 1: for the person who got all ten top scores. And
31:49
Speaker 1: it was the movie rights to Big Bug Hunter. So
31:53
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess the guy who created it. So
31:55
Speaker 1: I guess I'm so I've been playing the original Big
32:00
Speaker 1: Buck Hunter. I didn't know that I was playing the
32:02
Speaker 1: first one, and and I guess the guy that made it.
32:05
Speaker 1: His name was Don Daltrey. He lived in Arkadelphia, and
32:09
Speaker 1: he lived in Arkadelphia, and he put that in there,
32:12
Speaker 1: and it was kind of a Willy Wonka situation. I
32:15
Speaker 1: did look up that man and he he's actually pretty young.
32:19
Speaker 1: He's in his mid forties right now, but he kind
32:22
Speaker 1: of isn't interested.
32:24
Speaker 2: Gonna ask you something. Yeah, that sounds like a fantastic
32:28
Speaker 2: movie start to finish and you chose to go Mandalorian style.
32:34
Speaker 1: No, that's not That's just how it happened. Then I thought,
32:38
Speaker 1: who is this hunter? What if he's played by John
32:41
Speaker 1: Hamm And what if he's mysterious, and he's he's he's
32:44
Speaker 1: a grump and he's frustrated, but he's on a journey
32:47
Speaker 1: to kill every animal in the forest. Right. But he's
32:51
Speaker 1: likable because he's getting rid of some of his clothes
32:53
Speaker 1: and giving him to a for profit business that sells
32:55
Speaker 1: back thrift store clothes at a higher value. So you know,
33:01
Speaker 1: it's it's different, right, But but that that's just my life.
33:05
Speaker 1: I don't really like making movies out of my life
33:07
Speaker 1: because that's why I live my life, and I make movies. You'
33:10
Speaker 1: all know what I mean.
33:11
Speaker 6: Yes, Yes, live your life, make movies.
33:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's not for sale. Please don't take that.
33:21
Speaker 1: That's not well.
33:22
Speaker 6: We're gonna have to talk about it after this.
33:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love to know what you guys like, Like,
33:31
Speaker 3: did you did you guys have a passion for making
33:35
Speaker 3: movies before finding a video game and taking it and
33:39
Speaker 3: sort of making it a movie, did you make other things?
33:42
Speaker 6: Like is this like for me? I'd say I was
33:47
Speaker 6: always kind of on the lookout for just like objects
33:51
Speaker 6: and concepts that can be made into movies.
33:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, love that.
33:55
Speaker 3: I saw the most fantastic mailbox outside my house, and yeah,
34:02
Speaker 3: I've been pitching that around town because I think.
34:04
Speaker 2: That's what's the story.
34:05
Speaker 6: It's such a fascinating story.
34:08
Speaker 3: Well, it's red and it's sort of angular, and it
34:13
Speaker 3: does the most unbelievable thing. When you pull up the
34:17
Speaker 3: mail slot. There's a little, uh sort of gnome affixed
34:22
Speaker 3: to the back and you get to see the gnome
34:25
Speaker 3: every time you open the mail slot.
34:28
Speaker 2: Is this your mailbox?
34:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, you sound like you were accusing me of something.
34:36
Speaker 2: No, No, not just.
34:37
Speaker 6: Going into random people's mailboxes.
34:40
Speaker 3: I was just wondering, I'm sorry, we got that wires
34:44
Speaker 3: are crossed here?
34:45
Speaker 2: Yea that moment right there should not be a movie that.
34:49
Speaker 4: Was a little bit of a glitch.
34:50
Speaker 6: That was a glitch.
34:51
Speaker 2: No.
34:51
Speaker 4: I so you pitch. You've been making movies a lot, Lisa, Yeah,
34:56
Speaker 4: we're pitching them.
34:58
Speaker 3: I've been pitching them, but I have you know. I
35:02
Speaker 3: was the I was a producer on the wind X movie.
35:08
Speaker 6: We had the Doodle Jump movie as well.
35:11
Speaker 4: That went straight to straight to DVD, Doodle Drump straight
35:15
Speaker 4: to DVD.
35:16
Speaker 2: Which is now. I love how DVDs have come back.
35:19
Speaker 4: No, I think it's so vintage.
35:22
Speaker 3: It is vintage, and people want like a physical copy
35:25
Speaker 3: of something that they can hold in their hands and
35:26
Speaker 3: that they can mount on their wall before they go
35:29
Speaker 3: and watch it on Netflix.
35:30
Speaker 1: So, Lisa, I had a question, did.
35:33
Speaker 2: You did you make?
35:35
Speaker 1: Did you make the movie? I think I saw this?
35:38
Speaker 1: It was, uh, three car pile Up? Is that a
35:42
Speaker 1: movie you made?
35:43
Speaker 2: Yeah?
35:43
Speaker 6: Three car pile Up?
35:44
Speaker 1: It was a true story.
35:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, on a true story. So half my movies
35:49
Speaker 3: are based on dreams, and half of my movies.
35:51
Speaker 6: Are based on true stories.
35:53
Speaker 3: And I would say that the true story, like sometimes
35:57
Speaker 3: the most interesting thing to write about is something real
36:03
Speaker 3: that's happened to you. And I was in the four
36:04
Speaker 3: or five and I watched this car stop in its
36:08
Speaker 3: tracks and you won't believe what happened. Next two other
36:12
Speaker 3: cars crashed into them. Everyone was fine, and I pulled over,
36:20
Speaker 3: and I like a lot of people were stopping to
36:23
Speaker 3: offer help to see what was going on, and they
36:27
Speaker 3: couldn't open the doors, like some people were trapped in
36:30
Speaker 3: the cars. But I knew what needed to be done,
36:34
Speaker 3: and so I used all my might to pry open
36:37
Speaker 3: that car door. And I asked them right then and
36:40
Speaker 3: there for the rights, and you know what, holy.
36:44
Speaker 2: Shit, what rights were you actually getting the concept of
36:48
Speaker 2: three cars crashing.
36:49
Speaker 4: Know, the story of what just happened, the tragedy.
36:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, the story of what just happened. And thank goodness,
36:56
Speaker 3: they're all okay. I think because someone else was near
37:00
Speaker 3: by and called this number nine one one, which we're
37:03
Speaker 3: also working on making a movie, and.
37:07
Speaker 6: It just changed the way I do filmmaking.
37:09
Speaker 4: Incredible.
37:10
Speaker 1: Yeah.
37:10
Speaker 4: I saw that Vulture article about you, how lately you've
37:13
Speaker 4: been You've been hanging out in hospitals.
37:17
Speaker 2: Had that was such an interesting Vulture article and just.
37:20
Speaker 4: Waiting and you go in and you ask for rights
37:22
Speaker 4: for each story, like I go in and I wait.
37:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, they wrote it like you were the villain. Almost
37:29
Speaker 2: Vulture were prying on people that were close to debt.
37:32
Speaker 3: That's such an interesting interpretation of events. But that would
37:36
Speaker 3: be a movie. Yeah, I mean if that were true.
37:40
Speaker 4: I am so I love listening to these stories because
37:42
Speaker 4: I know nothing about the movie industry, absolutely nothing, to
37:46
Speaker 4: the point where I'm such a gamer and game developer
37:50
Speaker 4: that when we were shooting we the movie, instead of
37:53
Speaker 4: saying cut, I kept being like, your turns over, It
37:57
Speaker 4: turns over, and they go.
37:59
Speaker 6: No, that's such a long sentence to.
38:02
Speaker 2: Such and such a gamer thing for you to say.
38:05
Speaker 4: When things are over, we say cut. We don't say
38:07
Speaker 4: your turns over.
38:08
Speaker 1: But in the gaming industry, y'all screaming your turns turns
38:11
Speaker 1: over all the time.
38:12
Speaker 4: It turns over, Your turns over?
38:14
Speaker 2: What other things would you say?
38:16
Speaker 4: In the gaming industry instead of quiet on set, we
38:21
Speaker 4: usually say shut up, it's my turn.
38:25
Speaker 2: So we said it was action, the same was action?
38:29
Speaker 2: The same?
38:29
Speaker 1: No we have go Oh, it's pretty similar.
38:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, one go?
38:35
Speaker 1: Can I ask y'all a question? Uh? You know, from
38:38
Speaker 1: one game adapter to another. A big part of creating
38:43
Speaker 1: adaptations from games is satisfying a rabbit fan base, right,
38:48
Speaker 1: people that care so much about the subject and the
38:52
Speaker 1: source material. How are y'all servicing that fan base in
38:57
Speaker 1: your new project?
39:01
Speaker 2: It's been tough. Let me tell you that.
39:03
Speaker 4: I mean, the Charades fan base.
39:07
Speaker 2: Are rabbit for blood, you know. And so when the
39:11
Speaker 2: Deadline article got released, the fans came for me and
39:15
Speaker 2: my son's throat.
39:16
Speaker 1: I actually saw. I am part of the Charade reddit
39:19
Speaker 1: and it is so nasty over there.
39:23
Speaker 3: Sorry for the way the Silent Generation treated you. Yeah,
39:30
Speaker 3: they really banded together. They left the nursing home and
39:34
Speaker 3: it's so terrible. What they did to your car.
39:37
Speaker 4: Didn't you get hunted after by Ellen's people too?
39:40
Speaker 2: Because I got I got hunted after by Ellen's people. Yeah,
39:44
Speaker 2: because that's.
39:45
Speaker 1: Not right, because because that game is only verbal, heads
39:48
Speaker 1: up is verbal.
39:49
Speaker 2: So Ellen needs she needs to calm down. And that's
39:52
Speaker 2: what we're trying to do. It's it's a movement hashtag
39:55
Speaker 2: Ellen calmed down.
39:57
Speaker 4: Well, I believe there's a level. There's a level in
40:00
Speaker 4: what's up or heads up that is no words.
40:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, she tries, she's trying to clean that ip, but yeah,
40:07
Speaker 2: it was really tough. And I'm trying to constantly tell them. Guys,
40:10
Speaker 2: see the movie. You'll see how accurate we keep to
40:14
Speaker 2: the story of charades, how accurate we play the game
40:16
Speaker 2: of charades. But you know, people have created their own
40:19
Speaker 2: house rules, and they want to see their own house rules.
40:22
Speaker 2: They don't want to just see a person desperately trying
40:26
Speaker 2: to explain something in silent going to movies close to
40:30
Speaker 2: sounds like they don't want that anymore. They want, you know,
40:33
Speaker 2: they want some real good charade.
40:35
Speaker 1: So and I would I would imagine too, something that's
40:38
Speaker 1: a little difficult for your movie, you know, in satisfying
40:41
Speaker 1: the fan base, they want to see people act out,
40:44
Speaker 1: you know, Star Wars, they want to see people to
40:46
Speaker 1: act out. Indiana Jones. Are you able to mention real
40:49
Speaker 1: IP or real products?
40:50
Speaker 2: We're not. We're not allowed to any mention any real
40:53
Speaker 2: IP or any products. So a lot of the movies
40:55
Speaker 2: that people are trying to get in the movie, we've
40:58
Speaker 2: created basically a fan universe of movies for the movie charades,
41:02
Speaker 2: and a fake universe of books, and a fake universe
41:05
Speaker 2: of soul.
41:05
Speaker 4: That's a multiverse. And you and I mean multi versus
41:08
Speaker 4: money in the bank.
41:10
Speaker 1: So you know, it's like, have all of your studios
41:13
Speaker 1: been trying to get you, guys, to turn your movie
41:15
Speaker 1: into multiverse.
41:16
Speaker 6: You're looking at these sports.
41:18
Speaker 4: They wanted me to have a super Bowl in five
41:22
Speaker 4: different universes, all on a me mm hmm.
41:26
Speaker 3: That is actually I think a platform that would lend
41:29
Speaker 3: itself to multiverses quite well.
41:31
Speaker 2: Of all the ones, yours feels like the most multiverse.
41:34
Speaker 4: No, no, you would think so. But then you put
41:37
Speaker 4: pen to paper, Absolutely not.
41:39
Speaker 6: It's tought it.
41:40
Speaker 2: So you're trying to write the multiverse.
41:43
Speaker 4: I tried it, and I said, guys, this story doesn't
41:45
Speaker 4: lend itself to that.
41:49
Speaker 1: You know.
41:49
Speaker 3: I think that's something that writers say when they don't
41:52
Speaker 3: want to write.
41:54
Speaker 6: The story doesn't lend itself to that.
41:55
Speaker 3: I'm like, are you guys just playing ping pong in
41:59
Speaker 3: your room?
42:00
Speaker 6: Get on your phone.
42:01
Speaker 4: I think you bring up a good point. Maybe I am.
42:04
Speaker 4: Maybe I was lazy and I didn't want to say that,
42:07
Speaker 4: so I said, this story doesn't lend itself to that.
42:10
Speaker 4: But the studios bought.
42:11
Speaker 6: It, and that's all that matters.
42:15
Speaker 2: Do you guys have any rabid fan bases?
42:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, the claw fan base, I mean, come on, yeah,
42:20
Speaker 3: the clawheads are so intense. And the interesting thing about
42:25
Speaker 3: the clawheads is that I would say that claw machines
42:28
Speaker 3: are not like a a brand that is repeatable, like
42:33
Speaker 3: many companies own their own types of claw machines with
42:37
Speaker 3: their own types of prizes and so where a lot
42:40
Speaker 3: of the conflict comes from between.
42:42
Speaker 6: The fan bases.
42:43
Speaker 3: And it's interesting because the fan bases are sort of
42:45
Speaker 3: eating at each other and they're not coming for me
42:48
Speaker 3: because a lot of people are saying, you know, I'm
42:51
Speaker 3: from Coney Island, my fa my claw machine doesn't look
42:54
Speaker 3: like that.
42:55
Speaker 6: In my claw.
42:55
Speaker 3: Machine, it's all minions in the in the that are
42:59
Speaker 3: prizes is Oh, well, my claw machine has shamous those
43:02
Speaker 3: are the sea World people.
43:04
Speaker 2: And so it's like the sea World people fandom, oh huge.
43:10
Speaker 3: I mean Blackfish has been gone for a while, so
43:14
Speaker 3: the SeaWorld people are back in a new and big way.
43:18
Speaker 3: Actually that should be a movie and we should talk
43:20
Speaker 3: about this after.
43:21
Speaker 1: But the rise of the seaworlders.
43:23
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, the fan Blackfish too, Blackfish too with people.
43:30
Speaker 6: Except this time it's a different thing.
43:32
Speaker 2: It's people except okay, except this time it's a different thing.
43:38
Speaker 1: I have a punch down on mine. That's all right.
43:43
Speaker 1: You're the you're the exect, you're the big ah.
43:48
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm punching down. I think I'm punching genius.
43:52
Speaker 3: And that's something we do when we put pen to paper.
43:56
Speaker 3: But did your fans did the buck Hunter fans have
43:58
Speaker 3: anything to say?
43:59
Speaker 6: Or territory?
44:02
Speaker 1: We call them the buck fuckers, and the buck fuckers.
44:04
Speaker 2: Are did they choose that name down?
44:09
Speaker 1: They chose it? They chose buck fuckers? Wow, which is crazy.
44:13
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really weird, you know, you know, it's
44:16
Speaker 1: it's a strange. It's a strange thing. I told my Picky,
44:20
Speaker 1: my boyfriend. They go by buck fuckers, And he said, okay, whatever,
44:24
Speaker 1: you know, we we don't, we don't. I guess we're
44:26
Speaker 1: not offended. You know, it's okay, it's close. There's a
44:29
Speaker 1: c k in there, you know.
44:30
Speaker 4: Were they were the butt fucker's picky about your cast.
44:32
Speaker 1: Buck fuckers with the see the fine line we're driving okay?
44:38
Speaker 4: And I just fell right on the line. Were the
44:41
Speaker 4: buck fuckers upset about your casting? Because I know they
44:44
Speaker 4: were so serious about the Buck Hunter.
44:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they wanted me to cast from would you say,
44:51
Speaker 1: weren't they?
44:52
Speaker 4: So there you go.
44:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they wanted me to cast Ron White from
44:57
Speaker 1: the blue collar comedy.
44:58
Speaker 4: To the.
45:00
Speaker 1: Salad. They wanted Tater Salad to do it. But but
45:03
Speaker 1: that man is just not in fighting shape to run
45:07
Speaker 1: a series like this. Yeah, he has some problems, a
45:10
Speaker 1: little older, and he was a lot you know, a
45:13
Speaker 1: lot of action in it, a lot of backflips over
45:16
Speaker 1: the guns and stuff like that. And we couldn't get
45:19
Speaker 1: him to do it. And it just wasn't right for
45:21
Speaker 1: the project. We wanted to be young and sexy and interesting,
45:24
Speaker 1: you know, So we went with John Hamm who to.
45:26
Speaker 2: End up with Ron White? You know, how did that
45:28
Speaker 2: kind of come become the consensus in the group.
45:30
Speaker 1: Well because everybody fucked. Yeah, everyone loves you know, they're
45:35
Speaker 1: they are not on Reddit. They actually all meet up there.
45:38
Speaker 1: They are a physical Uh. They kind of do these
45:40
Speaker 1: rallies where you go to the Buckfucker Rallies and you
45:44
Speaker 1: go see them all. They go out to the woods
45:45
Speaker 1: and they all hang out together and then one of
45:47
Speaker 1: them brings the gator. They all decided they bring a
45:51
Speaker 1: big generator and they hook up a big buck Hunter
45:53
Speaker 1: game out in the woods and they play it in
45:56
Speaker 1: the woods like they're actually shooting. And so it actually
45:58
Speaker 1: it's almost like nicotine patch for hunters, right like it.
46:02
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's helpful. Big buck Hunter is helping
46:04
Speaker 1: people not hunt, you know, it's instead of doing the
46:07
Speaker 1: real thing. I'm going to go, you use this this uh,
46:09
Speaker 1: this little machine. But they just love.
46:13
Speaker 3: I was trying to go to Disneyland the other day
46:15
Speaker 3: and I got caught behind the Biggest buck Hunter rally
46:18
Speaker 3: and we could not move.
46:19
Speaker 1: Traffic was stopped for its well, because they got their
46:22
Speaker 1: own generators. Because they're all doomsday preppers, so they can
46:25
Speaker 1: set up anywhere and they want whatever they want. Man
46:31
Speaker 1: on the highway on the highway there instead of in
46:34
Speaker 1: a toll booth.
46:35
Speaker 3: I heard the police because they're all they you know,
46:39
Speaker 3: they've developed a society.
46:40
Speaker 6: So it really is tough the buck Hunter community.
46:43
Speaker 1: Police are strict to Yeah, they're really really scary, but
46:49
Speaker 1: but so there's all they want is they want to
46:51
Speaker 1: see things get shot. They said, oh, we better be
46:53
Speaker 1: seeing things get shot. And I said, don't worry y'all.
46:56
Speaker 1: You're absolutely that's the whole thing. And the big thing,
46:59
Speaker 1: the huge thing that they they they don't want to
47:02
Speaker 1: miss is the turkey bonus round, which is where all
47:06
Speaker 1: the turkeys come out of nowhere and you shoot as
47:08
Speaker 1: many turkeys as you can. It's a bonus around for you.
47:11
Speaker 1: Where is that, No, it's every fifteen minutes we do
47:14
Speaker 1: a turkey bonus round. So so so the lost to
47:17
Speaker 1: the episodes each episode is forty five minutes, so we
47:20
Speaker 1: do three turkey bonus rounds per episode, and we have
47:24
Speaker 1: them come on out and just he just kind of
47:26
Speaker 1: stumbles into the hunter stumbles into a bunch of turkeys
47:30
Speaker 1: every fifteen minutes and sometimes they come pouring through the door.
47:34
Speaker 1: Sometimes whatever. But it's just fun and there's no consequences,
47:37
Speaker 1: and it doesn't mean anything, you know, because if you
47:40
Speaker 1: don't hit a buck in the game, it means a lot.
47:43
Speaker 1: But if you don't shoot a turkey, it's okay. It's
47:45
Speaker 1: just fun. And the turkey is it's really fun. We
47:49
Speaker 1: have the turkey voice by Sean Mendez. He does all
47:51
Speaker 1: the voices. And when I tell you, this man has
47:54
Speaker 1: a lot of accents. He is trying some stuff that
47:57
Speaker 1: we can't air. Unfortunately, he's trying some accents that aren't okay.
48:00
Speaker 6: God, he's hilarious.
48:01
Speaker 1: He's really fun. And this guy somebody, I think he's.
48:04
Speaker 4: Funnier than Ron White. He's so funny.
48:07
Speaker 1: That's what I've been trying to tell the buckfuckers because
48:10
Speaker 1: we really want them to embrace Shawn Mendez and they
48:13
Speaker 1: are having a hard time.
48:14
Speaker 2: That sounds like a tough community to convince to embrace
48:17
Speaker 2: Shawn Mendez.
48:20
Speaker 1: Somebody made a mod where they did the turkey round
48:22
Speaker 1: and they replaced all the turkeys with Shawn Mendez is.
48:25
Speaker 1: And now now we've got all these buck fuckers shooting
48:27
Speaker 1: Shawn Mendez. It doesn't look good.
48:30
Speaker 4: God, I am so thankful. I have no we sports fans,
48:36
Speaker 4: there's none we picked a game that has a zero
48:39
Speaker 4: fan base, which is actually more relaxing and makes me
48:44
Speaker 4: need to earn it more.
48:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, you pick the game that comes free when you
48:47
Speaker 1: buy a weed. In two thousand and.
48:49
Speaker 4: Nine, we picked a free game, and we picked a
48:56
Speaker 4: game that's basically just sports. So we're we're going against
49:00
Speaker 4: every sport movie trope. But I have no fans to
49:03
Speaker 4: try to please.
49:04
Speaker 6: So do you have sports fans upset at all?
49:07
Speaker 2: Or no?
49:08
Speaker 4: It's there's Actually I've had a lot of my researchers,
49:11
Speaker 4: a lot of my guys do some research, and the
49:15
Speaker 4: sports fans to we sports fans, there is no crossover.
49:20
Speaker 4: The people who actually like we sports. The people who
49:23
Speaker 4: actually like we sports are women from thirty seven to
49:29
Speaker 4: forty one.
49:32
Speaker 6: That's a great demo.
49:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good demo demo, but it's a good
49:38
Speaker 4: demo for there's.
49:40
Speaker 2: So many women that are from thirty seven to forty one.
49:43
Speaker 2: That's a great place to be here.
49:44
Speaker 3: And it's a golden age for spending because it's the
49:47
Speaker 3: time that they all wake up one day and they
49:49
Speaker 3: want to buy candles, and so you got to get
49:51
Speaker 3: it while they're spending.
49:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, and while they're used to it.
49:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's that's why I think we went with
49:57
Speaker 4: Helen Mirren. We went, who are we making this movie for? Right?
50:01
Speaker 4: Originally we had talks with Lebron, we had talks with
50:04
Speaker 4: so many Dan Marino from the Dolphins, we got everybody,
50:08
Speaker 4: and suddenly we went, wait, this is we can't really
50:10
Speaker 4: make this a sports movie. We kind of got to
50:12
Speaker 4: go a little women route and make this an afternoon snoozer,
50:16
Speaker 4: but also.
50:17
Speaker 2: Make it.
50:19
Speaker 4: Of full of fun sports stuff. So that's where space
50:24
Speaker 4: Jam comes in a little bit as one of our cops.
50:26
Speaker 1: So I feel like we must have had the same
50:29
Speaker 1: teachers and what I know, you never did movies. But
50:32
Speaker 1: when I went to film school, they used to say
50:36
Speaker 1: I went to film school in Arkansas. They said women
50:41
Speaker 1: for women only, like movies that are snoozers. When you
50:45
Speaker 1: make a movie for a woman, it's got to be
50:46
Speaker 1: a snooze.
50:48
Speaker 4: Option tea you and that's what they teach you and
50:54
Speaker 4: you learn. I remember I learned this at the end
50:56
Speaker 4: of my film school. I went to NYU. Where did
50:58
Speaker 4: you go to NYU or well, I went to Universe
51:00
Speaker 4: Arkansas Because n YU they taught us that movies for
51:03
Speaker 4: women need to be snoozers because ergo, women are tired.
51:08
Speaker 1: Wow.
51:10
Speaker 4: When I learned that. When I learned that, suddenly I
51:13
Speaker 4: was like, I think I could write a movie.
51:16
Speaker 1: Man. You know, I'm sitting in a panel of incredible women.
51:20
Speaker 1: When I when I was a kid and I realized
51:21
Speaker 1: that y'all are tired. That was so crazy.
51:27
Speaker 6: Women tired changed cinema.
51:29
Speaker 2: I would say, that's a movie.
51:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would love to make a movie about the
51:34
Speaker 4: day that my film producer, my film professor decided to
51:40
Speaker 4: teach us that women are tired, because that what a
51:42
Speaker 4: brave act.
51:43
Speaker 5: You know.
51:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, men are bored and women are tired. And that's
51:50
Speaker 4: why I think movies for men you got to make
51:52
Speaker 4: them loud and you gotta make a messy.
51:56
Speaker 6: That's so true.
51:57
Speaker 4: That's what I learned. Maybe this is so inappropriate.
52:02
Speaker 1: I think it's fine. I think it's similar to everything
52:04
Speaker 1: we do. Y'all, it's been it's been delightful talking to
52:08
Speaker 1: you all. I want to go over you know anything
52:11
Speaker 1: that people need to know, and I'd love to know
52:14
Speaker 1: you know, the last thing you want to tell your
52:15
Speaker 1: fans before your movie comes out? And what's you're up
52:18
Speaker 1: to next?
52:18
Speaker 4: We can you two great questions love that.
52:22
Speaker 2: Well, that's great. I would love to do something inchurades,
52:28

53:39
Speaker 2: Moving well, you guys have never drawn what a hoopa
53:42
Speaker 2: looks like.
53:42
Speaker 3: Specific audio listeners will not believe me. They'll think we
53:46

53:48
Speaker 1: Listeners won't believe you either because this jumps to whoever speaking, so.

55:36
Speaker 3: she was just saying some crazy things. But I loved
55:39
Speaker 3: the word nation, and that was really buzzing in my mind.

Speaker 2: I ask this idea of yours? Was this based on
57:23
Speaker 2: a dream or a real life thing that happened? The
57:26
Speaker 2: idea of the granola bar, this was based on.
57:29
Speaker 3: A true story of me going to a vending machine
57:32
Speaker 3: and getting a cliff bar. I have a machine for
57:36
Speaker 3: the heights, and I slept on it and I said, yes.

Speaker 4: for video games. I am believe it or not, we're
1:00:35
Speaker 4: making a video we are.
1:00:38
Speaker 2: It's always important to keep one foot in.
1:00:40
Speaker 4: Your wife, one foot in my wife. We are doing
1:00:44
Speaker 4: a video game. Believe it or not, all announce it here.
1:00:47
Speaker 4: It's a big deal. We're doing podcasts the video game.
1:00:51
Speaker 2: Wow, how do you play that? What's the idea of that?
1:00:54
Speaker 4: I don't know yet, guys. They just hired me and
1:00:57
Speaker 4: we'll figure it out.
1:00:58
Speaker 2: I hope.
1:00:59
Speaker 4: I I hope it'll be something as exciting as throwing
1:01:04
Speaker 4: granola bars at people. Because when I said, how do
1:01:07
Speaker 4: we make the idea of a podcast a video game?
1:01:10
Speaker 4: Not just a certain podcast, but the idea of a
1:01:14
Speaker 4: podcast into a video game? I said, hold on, buddy,
1:01:17
Speaker 4: that's gonna be kind of hard. But I said that
1:01:19
Speaker 4: when I thought of making we sports of a movie.
1:01:23
Speaker 3: Also, I just have the best idea for a movie.
1:01:26
Speaker 3: It's a podcast in which a video game producer pitches
1:01:31
Speaker 3: a podcast video game.
1:01:33
Speaker 2: That's such a good idea. I will have to talk
1:01:36
Speaker 2: after this. I would we should talk after this.
1:01:38
Speaker 4: Actually, that's just like Lynn Manuel Miranda's Alexander Hamilton musical.
1:01:43
Speaker 6: I was just thinking that.
1:01:45
Speaker 2: You know what, I just had the crazy idea. What
1:01:47
Speaker 2: about a movie that's about somebody coming up with the idea?
1:01:52
Speaker 2: About a movie that's about a person suggesting In a podcast.
1:01:57
Speaker 6: This has been artists on artists on artists on artists
1:01:59
Speaker 6: answering the question. And now that's why they call it showbiz.
1:02:02
Speaker 6: We'll see you next time.
