  Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty cool. Yeah, I'm stuck between the town and Goodwill.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a couple of multi guys who got the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Academy Award at a very young age.
• 2:38

  Speaker 3: So I posted a poll yesterday and that came out
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: as number one. Was well Hunting Over the Departed.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like you remember this scene with Robin Williams and
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Matt Damon. I'll tell you the story afterward.
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: Remember the scene when she was nervous. Oh yeah, that's
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: a wonderful shit that one night.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It was so loud the dog up.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: So that scene was completely improvised by Robin Williams. It
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: was not in the script. Matt Damon or the cameraman
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: of the producers had no idea. Robin Williams improvised it
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: and it was so funny and in the moment that
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: the cameraman couldn't control his laughter right right that the
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: camera is shaking.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Matt Damon talked about that recently during an interview.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Robin made everybody laugh, I mean uncontrollab it. And
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: when he would see people's energy flagging, he would just
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: launch into like ten minutes of stand up. He was
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: the biggest, you know, comedian in the world and actor
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: in the world, and that level of like, I don't know, leadership,
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: kind of like an attention and love love coming from

  Speaker 6: him was just like, well, you know, everybody was ready
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: to like work for another twelve hours. I mean, he
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: was just amazing.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can see it on YouTube if you if
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: you look up the farts scene. Yeah, you can see
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: when Matt's Damon's laughing the kidra and they left it in.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Most of my favorite scenes and Goodwill Hunting were between
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Robin Williams and Matt Damon. But my favorite scene of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the entire movie in Justin I think you know where
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going with this.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: It's when they're.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: On the construction site and Matt Damon is meeting privately
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: with Robin Williams and he's thinking about what he wants
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to do with his life and they're best friends. And
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: every morning Ben Affleck and his brother Casey would drive
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: up to Matt Damon's place to pick him up to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: go to work, and he said, you know what I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: dream about?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Yep, did you have it there I do. I'm getting
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a chill ahead and tell you what I do every day.
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: I come by the house and I pick you up.
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: When we go out, we have a few drinks and fuel,
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: laughs and scrat. You know what the best part of
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: my day is for about ten seconds from when I
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: pull up to the curb, when I get to your door, because.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I think maybe I'll get up there and.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I'll knock on the door and you won't be there.
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: Don't go bye, I no see you light and know
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: nothing just left.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I have to say, if I had, if I
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: had to vote for one movie, it would be Good
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Will Hunting.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Definitely.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I see Scott online one he agrees with us.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: We can talk to him real quick and hey, good
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: morning Scott. What do you think?
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: Hey guys, Yeah, no, I I totally agree with everything
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: he said. So I I mean, there's obviously been so
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: many amazing movies that have been filmed in Boston. I
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: think where Goodwill Hunting kind of has a special place
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: in everyone's heart that are you know, hardcare Bostonians that
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: have been here their whole life is you know, it's
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: not only kind of highlighted a different a lot of
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: different areas in uh In in Boston. But it also,
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: you know, like it launched their careers, and you know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: it just and I think because they got as successful
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: as they've gotten, they've then you know, shot other movies here.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: And I was very lucky that after I graduated college,
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: I worked for ABC and I worked with a writer
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: on Goodwill Hunting, and he had kind of told me
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: that they one of the reasons why they ended up
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: casting Robin Williams is because he is so notorious for
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: improvising and you know, really being able to play a
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: scene out. And apparently the script that the two of
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: them had originally submitted to Mirror Max, they ended up
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: improvising a lot of the scenes just because the stuff
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: that they got.
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: From Robin Williams was better than the original script that
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: they had submitted to Mirror Max. So yeah, just again,
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: a lot of great movies in Boston, but I think
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: that one will always have a special place and a
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: good in my heart.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Really good call by the way to get the conversation going,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: by the way, a magical moment. Ben and Matt got
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the Academy Award in Hollywood that night at the Oscars,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and that morning in the middle of.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: The night in Los Angeles. They called this radio show
• 6:40
