• 2:26
  Speaker 8: opening episode that Rick was sorry to shoot in the face.
• 2:29
  Speaker 9: Nice.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's pretty cool.

  Speaker 5: We're loitering around your table here. How has it been
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: for you guys this weekend?
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: Really good, actually. You know, a lot of traffic, obviously,
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: because there's a gazillion people here. So it's worked out
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: really well. We've made some funds. We've raised them from
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: the dead and into our pockets for keeping the show going.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: So you know what that's like.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, sadly.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Got a hustle? As we don't get any donations every week, yes,
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I do. It's really hard.
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: You know and uh but it's been good it's been
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: good at this show for that now i feel really
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: guilty for saying.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: That and i'm sorry if somebody wants to donate to
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: movie meltdown how would they do.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: That uh movie meltdown.com and do they click on a
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: button there's a button over there donate to the show
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: we had a whole fundraiser going by now you probably
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: missed it but that doesn't really matter we'll still take
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: your money gladly so.
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: They always need it as a fellow podcaster i can
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: say that When you, you know, you run out of
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: your own money really quick, and then if your listeners
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: don't help you out, then you're just running out of
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: money that you're borrowing from people.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Sadly.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: I continue to go in the hole every week. It's
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: a sad state of affair.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: But it's a love affair.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: It is, because we still get, like, really cool stuff.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: And I think we, like, you know, you guys go
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: through this, too. You end up, like, capturing these amazing
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: moments that, like, you would never do. Like, sitting around
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: by yourself, you wouldn't do. But, like, you get your
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: friends together, you turn on the mic, and, like, it
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: becomes a whole different thing. Yeah, absolutely.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: It's kind of awesome.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Beautiful.
• 3:58
  Speaker 10: Isn't it?
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: It's the best thing about doing this is like all
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: the awesome people that you meet and all the weird
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: things that happen and all the cartoon characters that you
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: turn into and robots.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: We do have some cartoon characters on our show. I'll
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: give you that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I'm done.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: You're done listing things?
• 4:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, good.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: So usually we kick off ours with whatever we've been
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: watching or something to that effect. Have you guys seen anything?
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it has to be from here, but...
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: I really haven't watched much lately, so I was seeing
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: if you guys have watched anything good.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: I've been watching a lot of Downton Abbey. I'm just
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: discovering it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Horror at its finest.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it can be very scary sometimes. Because apparently at
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: one time... we were either going to.
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: Be a lord or a lady or a butler or
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: a footman or something, and I didn't know that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: I don't like this breakdown because I know my luck.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: I'll be sweeping up after somebody.
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: I'm really excited about re-watching the Back to the Future
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: trilogy Blu-rays that I bought months ago and haven't got
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: around to watching yet.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: I still want the Eric Stoltz footage, damn it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, have you seen it?
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Well, we've gotten still shots. There's a little bit, but
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: they've got two-thirds of that movie with him in it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'm like.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: You want to see the whole thing stitched together, don't you?
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: I think everybody's going to have to dial off before they'll... Eventually,
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: somewhere down the line, I'm sure they'll put it out.
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: You should have asked Dean Koundé if he had it
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: with him. He probably carries that shit around on reels
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: and cans.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Just to impress people. Come back to my room, check
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: this out.
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: Young ladies who are really into Eric Stoltz. You're like, hey,
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: you know Teen Heartthrob Eric Stoltz?
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: He doesn't come off well in that story, actually.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: I've heard some bad things about him on the set there.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Eric Stoltz or Dean Koundé?
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: We'll go with Eric Stoltz.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay, Eric Stoltz. We'll go with that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Well, I just heard he was very method-y and was
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: kind of pissing off the other actors.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: I just stuck the mic in Amy's face for no
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: reason at all.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: I was going to say, isn't he directing Glee episodes now?
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Which one?
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Eric Stoltz.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: I've lost track of my Glee. I'm sorry.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: You lost track of Stoltzy?
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: And Glee.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: And Glee. Glee Stoltzy. I'm going to have a daughter
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: and name her Glee Stoltzy.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Oh, she's going to get so picked on.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: She is.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: What are you named after? Like Eric Stolz in an
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: episode of Glee? Yeah.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Right before they pound her face. Yeah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: That's my bruised daughter. The Dinosaur Project is good.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I want everybody to watch it.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Is it recent? Yeah, it just came out.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: In fact, let me break it down. Let me break
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: it down for you, Movie Meltdown listeners. The Dinosaur Project
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: is a found footage, and maybe some of you are groaning.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: Stop it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: It's a found footage dinosaur movie, and the effects are good,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: and that's all you need to know. If it's a
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: dinosaur movie and the effects are good, that's all that counts.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: But there's also fun acting, and they're British. And it
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: came in under the radar. Nobody knew about it. Unless
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: you just were like reading, you happened to be reading
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: horror sci-fi news and knew it was happening. Like it
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: got released for a minute in Britain and then nothing here.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: And then I found it. I accidentally found it on Redbox.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, I knew about it and it wasn't on
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Netflix or anything.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: Rented it on Redbox. Fucking great. Watch it. It's dinosaurs.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: You'll be glad you did it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Very cool.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: They kill people.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: I thought of this.
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: If you like short films, Tony Walsh's A Chance in
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: Hell that they screened today is awesome.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Nice.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: And I know that you can get that from Scotchworthy.com.
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: And I have to make sure I said that because
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: it's that good.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Plug.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: We'll plug.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Have you seen the ABCs of Death?
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: No, not yet.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: 26 shorts?
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: It's mixed for me.
• 7:43
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah?
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: I love the idea. Like, it seems like a brilliant plan,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: and then you get in there, and I'm like, oh, really, guys?
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: Well, it's 26 short films, right?
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's worth watching to get the good ones,
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: but there's a lot of them that I'm like, you
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: spent money on this?
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: How long is it?
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: It's still, like, normal time, so you get some of
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: them that are just, like, a two-minute thing.
• 8:03
  Speaker 12: Oh, okay.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: You get some that are, you know.
• 8:04
  Speaker 11: Four or five.
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: Some of it reminded me of, like, liquid television type stuff.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Like the claymation ones?
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, like the old MTV, like Aeon Fluxy type of looking.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: I don't know. It's interesting. There's a little bit of everything.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: There is a clay animation one. There is an animation
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: kind of worked in. There's some that are super old school,
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: like just everything's done semi-practical. There's some that have bad CG.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: It's a grab bag of all kinds of film tricks
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: and styles. In a way, that seems great, but there's
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: so many of them that I'm just so let down by.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I can imagine.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Because it seems like the 12-year-old boy made it. And
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: I'm like, really? It's all potty humor. I was like, really? Like,
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: you've got this unlimited, you know, thing. You can put
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: together this great, scary movie. And instead, they're just like,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: they're in the toilet jokes every time. I'm just like.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's ridiculous.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: But it's not all of them.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Movie Meltdown, you're home for fart.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: We're better than that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, I think I just expected more for some
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: of them. But there's some really good ones along the way, so.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: It's worth it overall, but you've got to sit through
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: some less impressive pieces of film. Let's put it that way.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: Well, it's all death.
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: I mean, some of it's sure probably going to be funny,
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: but as much as I love horror movies, I don't
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: like to be bummed out.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: So I hear John dies at the end is pretty amazing.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: Have you seen that yet?
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I did see that. It was a lot of fun.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why I'm dying for it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: He's a fun director, and I think as he's gone on,
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: I think he's gotten more and more okay with being silly.
• 9:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: He lets this one be very fun and kind of light,
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: so it works for it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: It's a fun movie.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I'm in.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: I'm in for that. I just have to get my
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: hands on it. I think it's on demand still, right?
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: It played once in Louisville. And it was a midnight show.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: It was the only way they could get it here.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: That's the only time I think we had it playing
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: in town. I'm glad I got to see it on
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: the screen, but it's a fun movie.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: They screened some fun stuff here i i'm sure your
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: listeners would have enjoyed maniac yeah i mean it's a
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: quality movie.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: Steve was just telling me about a minute ago over
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: here he really liked it too yeah i was afraid
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: that would go badly but he he really liked.
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: It yeah i was a little worried because i didn't
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: like the original i and uh and i thought it
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: was going to be it looked From what I had seen,
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: it looked pretty similar, but then I got in there
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: and it was really good.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what he said.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a huge improvement on the original.
• 10:26
  Speaker 14: What can you do?
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know. That's about all I've seen. You too?
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's our weekend so far. I mean, you don't
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: want to hear about all the sitcoms.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: I have resolved just now to go back and do
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: a rewatch on seasons 8 and 9 of The X-Files.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: Because I've seen Robert Patrick three times now.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: I saw a picture of him. Is it just me
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: or does he have a crazy homeless beard going?
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: He has a crazy homeless beard, but it's kind of
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: working for him.
• 10:56
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: He's wearing black pants and a black shirt today. It's
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: working for me.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Okay? Whatever you need. Ladies and gentlemen, it's working for
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: me right now. Whatever you need.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: So I think I'm going to go back and re-watch
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: those and get a little Special Agent John Doggett in
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: my life.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: I think he can probably hook you up. And if
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: you go hang around a sable, he can still probably
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: hook you up, even today.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Dollars to donuts, he could. And that's a reference, because
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: Doggett used to say that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of tuned out as the seasons went
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: on in that one. I loved it all the way up.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: It's like that movie's the jump the shark for me.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: Eight and nine are the bastard children, but I really
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: liked him.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: She was underrated. That's the thing, I like pieces of it,
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: because I liked, was it Annabeth Gish they worked on
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: with her? I really like her, but she's so wasted
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: by that point. I'm just like, why didn't you guys
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: just give her her own show? Why didn't you just
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: spin off and make them other people that had nothing
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: to do with this?
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: I think there was some contemplation of doing.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: That, but it never came to fruition. And Robert Patrick
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: was as good as he could be coming into a
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: bad situation. You're stepping into someone else's shoes at this point, really.
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: And he's handsome.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: So it's, you know, it was bad for them, but
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: they were good. Again, there were good parts in it.
• 12:09
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: It just had issues overall.
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: It wasn't pure crap.
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: And he revived the saying on that, when Robert Patrick
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: was on the X-Files, he revived the saying, dollars to donuts.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: He said that.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Did you say that?
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Seriously, right now? It's loud in here.
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: I was adjusting your scarf on me. It looks better
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: on me.
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: He's busy dealing with his lady scarf that he couldn't
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: listen to his own wife talk.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: Are you better now?
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Okay. Which is most stylish? What's most stylish in life, listeners?
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: He's trying on a scarf. Do you like it this
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: way or this way? Do you like it better just draped?
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: This is good for an audio situation. It works so
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: well on the radios.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Do you like it swooped over the shoulder? Is that
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: too glamorous with a t-shirt?
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Do we need to get a photo to go along
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: with this here?
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: You should.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: You need multiple photos.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: You can stitch it together, the different versions of me

  Speaker 9: Once upon a time, there was a boy named Victor Crowley.
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: Folks weren't too kind to Victor, so he stayed hidden
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: in his daddy's house out in the bayou.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: One night, some.
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: Mean children came to his house, and there was a
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: bad fire. When his daddy jumped down the door to
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: save him, he didn't know Victor was pressed against the
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: other side. And poor Victor Crowley died. They say people
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: disappear in those woods.
• 16:36
  Speaker 15: And legend has.
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: It, if you get close enough to the old Crowley
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: house at night, you can still hear Victor Crowley, roaming
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: in the woods, crying for his dad.
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: I wanna go home. We're all gonna die.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: Hey kids, it's Brian. So you're listening to this episode,
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: and it sounds pretty good, right? That's because we're using
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: our new mics from the Doo-Wop Shop. We are using
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: the VLH-SM2000s that are made specifically for the Doo-Wop Shop.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: And if you want one, you can go get one yourself.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: They are actually only $ 65 if you want to buy one,
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: or they rent everything in the Doo-Wop shop, so you
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: can go there and get it for as little as
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: $ 5 a month. So you too can be out there
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: using your microphones to record a show, or interview people, or,
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: I don't know, most people probably have, like, bands and,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: you know, rent instruments and stuff, which.
• 18:07
  Speaker 14: They also do.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: They have a huge selection.
• 18:09
  Speaker 14: Of instruments, so.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Anything you need for any type of event, whether it's
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: a music show or a business meeting or whatever kind
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: of occasion you've got, they've pretty much got everything covered.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: So if they are located in Louisville, you can go
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: to the Highland Store at 1587 Bartstown Road or in
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: the East End at 2915 South Hurstburn Parkway. Even if
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: you're not in the area, they have the website like
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: most businesses, but you go to doo-wop.com. And specifically, they
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: have a huge selection of karaoke discs. So you can
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: actually go to the website. They have thousands of titles
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: to choose from, and they're only like $ 4. 99 a month.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: So whatever you need karaoke-wise, they can hook you up
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: through the internet, and you don't even have to.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Be in the area.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: So again, that is doo-wop.com. Go there. They'll have whatever
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: you need. They certainly did with us for the mic.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: So yeah, go to doo-wop.com and check it out.
• 19:20
  Speaker 16: All right, so.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: I'm back here with Christian, who you are not familiar
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: with the convention scene. This is technically the first of
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: this type convention for you, so um, I, I guess
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: what's been your take on the, uh, the whole convention thing?
• 19:51
  Speaker 17: Um, I had a really good time at the convention.
• 19:55
  Speaker 17: There was a lot of people that seemed to let
• 19:59
  Speaker 17: the disorganization of it get in the way of them
• 20:01
  Speaker 17: just like enjoying themselves. But I kind of knew what
• 20:05
  Speaker 17: we were going into, uh, before we went because we
• 20:08
  Speaker 17: didn't go on the first night, um, We went the
• 20:11
  Speaker 17: second day on Saturday, and so I knew what we
• 20:14
  Speaker 17: were facing. And I just kind of rolled with it,
• 20:17
  Speaker 17: and I had a really good time. It was fun
• 20:20
  Speaker 17: seeing people dressing up as whatever characters and whatnot. Some
• 20:27
  Speaker 17: of it was entertaining, not for the fact of what
• 20:30
  Speaker 17: they were dressed up as, just seeing their interpretations of things,
• 20:36
  Speaker 17: I guess.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: That means here's a really good outfit. Now, how do
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: I remove the area that covers the boobs?
• 20:44
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 20:44
  Speaker 17: I mean, there is a lot of boobs to be seen,
• 20:46
  Speaker 17: so I didn't know it was that kind of convention,
• 20:48
  Speaker 17: but hey, whatever.
• 20:49
  Speaker 15: I mean, if that's what.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: They're all that kind of convention.
• 20:51
  Speaker 17: I mean, if that's what floats your boat, you know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 17: that's fine. But I mean, I had a really good time.
• 20:58
  Speaker 17: It was really fun being able to be part of
• 21:03
  Speaker 17: a crowd that Um, I felt like everybody was just
• 21:06
  Speaker 17: really nice. Like, yeah, people have their bitchy moments that,
• 21:10
  Speaker 17: I mean, you know, that's life, but.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: That's what I was actually telling somebody last night when
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: we were, we went to go get food and they
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: were talking about like how they had thought people weren't
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: in a good mood. I was like, truthfully, like. Compared
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: to the people in the real world, like, everybody there
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: was kind of in, like, several times, it's just, like,
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: with that many people crammed into a space, like, sometimes,
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: especially in different settings with, like, real people in the world,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: they would get all uptight and bitchy and, like, just
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: get upset with whatever. there are so many times when
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: you just kind of bump into somebody, like, you know,
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: it just happens when there's that many people jammed together,
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: and I'd be like, oh, sorry, and, like, in the
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: real world, people just get, oh, watch where you're going,
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: and get all pissed off, and, like, so many people
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: are like, oh, man, don't worry about it, you know,
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: they're just, like, a lot of people were really kind
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: of easygoing this weekend, and there's a guy earlier, just today,
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: that I was just like, oh, we were both just
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: sort of, like, looking at something, and almost ran into
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: each other, and he's like, Oh, don't worry about me,
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: I'm just wandering around I was like, hey, me too
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Everybody that I kept running into Almost literally were really
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: relaxed So I kind of appreciated that That in this
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: convention crowd Specifically this horror crowd That there's a good
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: attitude with people More so than you would expect For
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: these hardcore gore fans Most of them are kind of
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: nice people I've kind of known that for years But
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: it's good to see it in.
• 22:32
  Speaker 17: Action again Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, I don't
• 22:34
  Speaker 17: know why I would expect it to be any different
• 22:36
  Speaker 17: because it's like any friends that I have that that's
• 22:39
  Speaker 17: their scene. I mean, they're they're all really nice, but
• 22:42
  Speaker 17: it was just I just thought that was really neat.
• 22:44
  Speaker 17: It was just it's nice to be around nice people.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, it was surprising with that many people. Sometimes
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: that could change that attitude. But now everybody everybody's in
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: pretty good spirits this weekend, as far as I could tell.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: And as much fun as all that was, it all
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: still kind of pales in comparison to the other thing
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: we got to do. Yeah, just hanging out with Dee
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Schneider and Adam Green was pretty damned amazing.
• 23:13
  Speaker 15: Probably one of the high points of my life. Not
• 23:15
  Speaker 15: just the weekend, my life.
• 23:17
  Speaker 17: I can die now, and I feel like I've accomplished
• 23:20
  Speaker 17: everything I need to.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: I can't argue that. They're pretty amazing. So, yeah, I
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: think we should go ahead and just get into that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: We do sit down with rock star extraordinaire, Mr. D. Snyder,
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: and director of a lot. He's really got an interesting
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: take on stuff, too. I always liked him just as
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: a guy, and I've seen a good amount of his
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: work as a director, and he's got a really good
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: take on it. But I think even more than that,
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: he's got a really interesting take on the business and
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: what he wants to do in the business. So yeah,
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: I think Adam Green is, is really a fun guy
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: to see his work, but even more interesting just to
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: sit down and.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Talk to him.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: So I think we will do that right now.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: And these actually pick up on the side.
• 24:06
  Speaker 18: It's got that tape.
• 24:08
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Try that.
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 24:11
  Speaker 18: I know you don't know anything about microphones.
• 24:15
  Speaker 12: Actually, I'm terrible because I always wind up like, yeah, well, yeah,
• 24:19
  Speaker 12: mouthing it.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what's funny. Back up the mic. Back up
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: the mic.
• 24:22
  Speaker 18: There's so many people that still are like, wait, you
• 24:24
  Speaker 18: can use these performances.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: We are here with Adam and Dee, and I guess
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: you're here sort of promoting Holliston. We can start with that.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: It is, for people who aren't familiar with it, a
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: real place, and you were spawned there.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, I grew up there.
• 24:41
  Speaker 18: I guess, what was it that made you want to
• 24:44
  Speaker 18: tell that story?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, the show is really my story. I mean,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it's about the struggle of trying to become a horror
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: filmmaker and about that time in your life right out
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: of college when nothing's working out like it was supposed to,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: which that's the part that they don't really tell you.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, if you go to college and you
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: get a degree, then you get a job, then you
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: get married. But they don't tell you how much it
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: sucks in between all that when your friends are all
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: getting married and getting jobs.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Life sucks.
• 25:11
  Speaker 18: I can go along with that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: But if you can laugh at it, then you can
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: get through it. And that's really what the show is about.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: And originally, there were so many different names for this
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: over the years. And it was actually somebody in the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: marketing department at FearNet who said, well, why don't we
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: just name it after that fictitious town that you said
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: it in? And Joe Lynch was like, oh, it's a real, like, yeah,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: let's do that. And so now to all those teachers
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: who said I would never make it. Like, now they
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: have to know about it because the show is called Halston.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: So really, this is not even about a show. It's
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: just about redemption. That was really, it's the only reason
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I did this.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Revenge.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, revenge.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: I totally get that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: So I guess really it was Coffee and Donuts that
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: was sort of the test version of this?
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the first movie I ever tried to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: make when I got a job making bad cable commercials.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I stole their equipment and made a feature called Coffee
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and Donuts.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Who would advise you to steal the equipment?
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: This guy is right here. He's been my guardian angel
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and mentor and idol my whole life.
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: You said you had stolen the equipment and you were
• 26:15
  Speaker 12: stopping stealing it.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: I just said, continue to steal it. I just advised you.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: His exact words were actually so... Because I got caught
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: borrowing and stealing the equipment and I thought I was
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: going to lose my job. And he said, do you
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: want to make cable commercials forever? Do you want to
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: make movies? I said, I want to make movies.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: He said.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: We could get back in there and steal the fucking aquarium. So, yeah,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: but I don't even remember what the question was. Oh, yeah,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Coffee and Donuts.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: It really does mirror the show. Is there actually a
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Coffee and Donuts visual? DVD?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Yes. Because we didn't really know what we were doing,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: we used, like, Aerosmith songs. We used, like, just the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Righteous Brothers.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Every.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: frame of that movie has caught like three different copyright
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: infringements on it we were just trying to make a
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: movie and then um disney touchstone ended up buying it
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: um to turn into a tv series which was still
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: called coffee and donuts which i wrote for upn um
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: who tried to turn it into a urban like i'm
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the only one who didn't see that coming by the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: way everyone's like you know this isn't gonna work right
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: i'm like what do you mean it's upn um but
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: when they became the, uh, the WB or the CW.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: The title needed to be changed. Yeah.
• 27:29
  Speaker 14: You are so UPN.
• 27:30
  Speaker 18: I don't know what you're talking about.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I know. I know.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: So, but most people do think, you know, urban stuff
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: when they look at me, you know, pretty, uh.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Urban, urban, urban, or lame one of the other.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: Well, you, you mentioned him inspiring you, I guess. How
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: did you come into contact with the, at some point?
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Uh, It is such a long story, but if you
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: look up on YouTube or on my site, Ariescope.com, and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: look up A Twisted Tale, there was a special feature
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: that came with the Hatchet DVD that is the two
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: of us telling that story in eight minutes. But basically,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: D was my idol ever since I first heard A
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Twisted Sister record. The message that I got from it
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: was that you can't let anybody tell you no or
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that you can't do something. And through my whole life,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that inspired me. And then one day, I ended up uh,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: meeting him at a show because I got there very
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: early and I had this letter that I was going
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: to throw on the stage and he actually received the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: letter and read it and, um, and responded. And, and
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: ever since it's been, it's a, it's a crazy story,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: you know, cause it's like, you know, you'll meet people
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: you idolize or celebrities and nine out of 10 times you're,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: it's just, they live up to it, but not like this.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: It's not just like, Oh yeah, he was a nice guy.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like our families are very tight at
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: this point. Like, I mean, he married my wife and I,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: His son became my assistant, who I mentored into filmmaking,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: who has a short film that premieres at the Tribeca
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Film Festival in two weeks. It's a crazy, crazy story.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: It's really involved, and I didn't even realize what was
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: going on.
• 29:05
  Speaker 12: He kept running into me at crucial moments in his
• 29:09
  Speaker 12: career at different events, and.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Just Oh, I would have like a heavy metal Yoda
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: or something.
• 29:16
  Speaker 12: And, uh, and I've apparently just gave the right words
• 29:20
  Speaker 12: of inspiration, which is just my nature. You know, when
• 29:23
  Speaker 12: I see someone who's giving up to say, to be
• 29:25
  Speaker 12: the cheerleader and then, uh, I didn't even realize this,
• 29:29
  Speaker 12: you know, these chance meetings.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Kept happening multiple times.
• 29:33
  Speaker 12: And, um, and then one day I get an email
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: that I nearly, deleted because I didn't recognize.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: The address, but it said, hello again. And I said, again?
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I said, it was almost a swear. I was like,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: let me just read it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 12: And it was this whole letter about having met all
• 29:48
  Speaker 12: these times and how I had just cheered him on
• 29:53
  Speaker 12: sort of unwittingly through these tough times. And now Hatchet
• 29:56
  Speaker 12: was at Tribeca. And he said, and you sent me
• 30:00
  Speaker 12: a letter a long time ago. And I said that,
• 30:03
  Speaker 12: he's saying that, you know, one day we'll be at
• 30:05
  Speaker 12: some big movie premiere and, and we'll, I'll see you
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: at the after party or whatever. And he says, I
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: just wanted to invite you, but I don't. And I
• 30:11
  Speaker 12: picked up the phone. I said, so where's the party?
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: And he came.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: And that was the first time we met. I just
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: showed up and he met me at the red carpet.
• 30:18
  Speaker 12: My family came out and we sat together and, uh,
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: and saw the movie and went to the party after.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: And, uh, We've been friends ever since.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: But it was the craziest way to have your first
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: red carpet because I'm standing there and I'm like, nobody
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: wants to talk to me whatsoever. Then all of a
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: sudden he shows up and VH1 and everybody's running over
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: there and it was like, I'm just.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: I think we went from like, hello. And then we've
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: just walked away, caught me together doing interviews. And then,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: and then, you know, he did.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: All the interviews. They're like, so tell us about hatching.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: He's like, cause I couldn't speak. I'm just smiling. I'm like,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: this is amazing.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: One of the.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Important things though, that I always want to get across
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: when we tell this story though, is that what he
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: was talking about, there were all these like chance meetings
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and that's really what they were. Like there were just
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: times when we would just cross paths. It wasn't, um,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: relentlessly writing to a celebrity on Facebook or stalking them
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: or sending them letters or doing like it just, we
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: would just bump, we just would cross paths and it
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: was always at the right time. And it was a
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: very organic way to do it. But there's a lot
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: of people who hear this story who then start now
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: stalking me with stuff. And it's like, well, just you're
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: my D Snyder. I'm like, okay, a, I'm not that cool.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: B I like, we don't have a 25 year relationship
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: of serendipitously like running into each other. Like you just
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: roll me a letter, man. It's very different. Like, and
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I can't do anything for you. So, yeah.
• 31:36
  Speaker 12: And it's that, it's those, just the way this has
• 31:39
  Speaker 12: happened that has me doing Holliston. Because when he first
• 31:45
  Speaker 12: approached me to be Lance Rocket in the show, and
• 31:47
  Speaker 12: I said yes, and he just, it just started an endless.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Stream of apologies.
• 31:52
  Speaker 12: For how low budget this is and how nickel and
• 31:56
  Speaker 12: dime and the alien air conditioning this season for a
• 32:01
  Speaker 12: certain amount of hours. And then he blew it in
• 32:03
  Speaker 12: the first week and they left the air conditioning on
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: so we had no AC. So he just apologized. And
• 32:08
  Speaker 12: one day I said, dude, stop apologizing. This is supposed
• 32:11
  Speaker 12: to be. I'm here because... I think that I'm supposed
• 32:15
  Speaker 12: to be here. It's like that weird moment with Richard
• 32:17
  Speaker 12: Dreyfuss and we're supposed to be here.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: It's just, I.
• 32:21
  Speaker 12: See all these things happen and how we all have
• 32:23
  Speaker 12: our chance meetings and we've come to this point.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: So I am supposed to be here.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: And it's not just for me. Joe Lynch, who also
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: stars in the show, Joe's father was also a friend
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: of these.
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I was friends with Joe's dad, who was a customer,
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: he passed away. a custom car guy, and he worked
• 32:40
  Speaker 12: on my cars, and we became really good friends. He
• 32:42
  Speaker 12: was always telling me about his son Joe, who was
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: making videos, and Joe, and Joe, and Joe, and Joe.
• 32:46
  Speaker 12: And I knew the whole family before I knew Joe,
• 32:48
  Speaker 12: which was frustrating to Joe, since he was the actual
• 32:51
  Speaker 12: Twisted fan.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: So I finally one day meet Joe.
• 32:54
  Speaker 12: At a horror convention, another competing horror convention, Fangoria, I think,
• 32:58
  Speaker 12: and he said, I'm Joe Lynch.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: And I was like, holy crap. So again, just how
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: does that happen?
• 33:06
  Speaker 12: So it really is meant to be, and like he said,
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: my sons work with him, Cody. And now Cody's first
• 33:12
  Speaker 12: short has been accepted to Tribeca, and we're going to
• 33:15
  Speaker 12: his premiere.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: So it's actually pretty wonderful, actually, the way things have happened.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: I love the ride. It's great.
• 33:23
  Speaker 14: Definitely.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: I'm assuming you've always been interested in horror, but I
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: guess what made you want to sort of cross into
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: it from the performing? Was it Strangeland, or before that,
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: did you really want to get into it?
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: You know, I was a big horror fan, of course.
• 33:39
  Speaker 12: And Strangeland, you know, I got into writing screenplays and
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: trying to learn that process from doing the rock videos.
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: And I wrote Strangeland out of frustration at the time.
• 33:51
  Speaker 12: And it was late 80s, early 90s, when just like
• 33:55
  Speaker 12: the horror world was just so pathetic with our biggest
• 33:58
  Speaker 12: villains and by biggest villains. Chucky and the leprechaun. And
• 34:04
  Speaker 12: I remember screaming at the TV.
• 34:05
  Speaker 13: Going, step on him!
• 34:07
  Speaker 18: It's a leprechaun!
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Come on!
• 34:11
  Speaker 12: I mean, what is going on here? I'm watching a leprechaun.
• 34:15
  Speaker 12: And I'm like, leprechaun! And my kid was actually afraid.
• 34:21
  Speaker 11: It was Cody.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: He said, man up! It's a leprechaun. I'll make you afraid.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Go to sleep. I'll come to your room in the
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: middle of the night.
• 34:30
  Speaker 12: So anyway, and it was just, you know, again, just
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: writing and just a love for horror and just wanting
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: to just get into the trenches and start doing it.
• 34:39
  Speaker 12: And then the connection became stronger and stronger and started
• 34:42
  Speaker 12: doing a horror radio show and, you know, it goes
• 34:44
  Speaker 12: from there.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: Well, then I guess.
• 34:47
  Speaker 18: once you set up the.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: Framework of the show, where you, I mean, again, he
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: was apologizing, but you were okay with working in like
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: a very, it's working to be like a standard sitcom format.
• 34:59
  Speaker 18: So it's, I guess it was okay crossing over into that.
• 35:02
  Speaker 12: Well, I just, you know, I like doing new and
• 35:05
  Speaker 12: challenging things. And if it's new and challenging, it intrigues me.
• 35:09
  Speaker 12: I'll put up with anything. But don't treat me with
• 35:13
  Speaker 12: respect at a rock show.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: We've got a problem.
• 35:16
  Speaker 12: So I'll be like, hey, whatever we've got to do, man,
• 35:19
  Speaker 12: at the rock show.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I'm like, where is my catering?
• 35:22
  Speaker 12: I can't possibly go on without the M &.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: M' s. Not the Redwoods. What did I tell you?
• 35:32
  Speaker 12: So it just was new. I did Broadway for a
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: few months, and I'm just so intrigued by a new challenge.
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: And so that was just fun to do a sitcom.
• 35:43
  Speaker 12: My only regret is, can.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: I say that? We really never get a chance to
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: do it in traditional form.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Well, his scenes don't.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: My scenes and Dave's too.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: And Dave's. Because just scheduling wise, we basically shoot all
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: of these scenes in like a two, three day period,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: which is... Really intense because it's all these very extravagant
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: wardrobe changes and stuff. And Suzette, his wife, did his
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: hair and makeup this year in his wardrobe. And, I mean,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: it's just the most extravagant, craziest outfits. Sometimes upwards of
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: like three hours just to get them into the stuff.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: And then we shoot for 15 minutes and.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Then he's out.
• 36:17
  Speaker 12: Oh, I love the one where I walked out on
• 36:19
  Speaker 12: the set and I go, and he goes, we're out
• 36:21
  Speaker 12: of time, dude. It took three hours to get ready.
• 36:23
  Speaker 12: That was the moment. I just wanted to go, hey,
• 36:25
  Speaker 12: we're out of time.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, what? And then the show ends. It's
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: one of the funniest. Because I wasn't in the show.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: It's one of the funniest gags. It's like what happens
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: is I start, because we break the fourth wall a
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: lot on the show. So there's all these outtakes because
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I keep laughing through the scene and I'm destroying it.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: And then he comes out in the most extravagant costume
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: you've ever seen. And we go, oh, sorry, the show's over.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: So that was it. I just walk out. And then
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: we go, okay, now get changed. We have to do
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: the next one. I was like, that's what it was like.
• 36:54
  Speaker 12: But the point is because of they don't have the
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: money to pay me and Dave so we could say
• 37:01
  Speaker 12: we don't have to work.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: We have to work. We do what we do. We
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: don't get a chance to do that.
• 37:07
  Speaker 12: I can't wait for the time to do traditional sitcoms,
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: sit at the table, do a read together, shoot it chronologically,
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: and do a real sitcom. Unfortunately, I always have to
• 37:18
  Speaker 12: shoot my scenes and Dave's scenes out in like a week,
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: and then we take off and we go back to
• 37:23
  Speaker 12: whatever else we do.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: And then the rest of the stuff is shot with
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: a small audience, but that's the only way that we
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: know the timing on the jokes is by hearing when
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: people laugh. And then we sweeten that and fill that
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: in later. But we're actually one of the only shows
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: that still has any type of live audience. Because like
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Big Bang and How I Met Your Mother, they don't
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: have an audience at all. Which is crazy because I
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: don't know if you've ever looked it up. If you
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: look up those shows on YouTube, there's a version of
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Big Bang Theory without the laugh track. It is amazing.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, because it's just like I'm wearing pants. Silence
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: for like 10 seconds and then so am I. And
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh my God, like this isn't funny at all. Like, um,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: so at least ours without the laugh track is still funny. Um,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it's been, you know, we did a sitcom
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: for horror fans and a lot of horror fans don't
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: watch sitcoms. So we were, I was like, are they
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: going to hang with this? Are they going to get it?
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: And they did. And they did in, um, in a
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: huge way really quickly, which was, um, really overwhelming because
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: we were expecting the worst. We were like, all right,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: this is so different that everyone's just going to hate it.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: And they didn't. And you get a few comments of like,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: what's with the laugh track? Because they've never seen a
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: show with a laugh track before. But even then, they still,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: you know, you watch a couple of them, you get
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: into it. And this season is just incredible.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Really lowered the bar.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: I think it works because you, like, I think everybody
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: identifies with you guys in particular because you guys are very, like,
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: normal horror geeks you know and you that's the sad
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: part is I was like I was thinking I need
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: to do a web series I was like I think
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: you guys already did it like I was like you're
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: wearing my outfits every episode it's sad I was like.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah I'll be stealing my show.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: It's you know I think you see it in music
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: a lot like a band will come along that they
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: just like people identify with what they're saying or what
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: they're doing and it's like all you can do is
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: be you and that's all this is is written for
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: it's all my personal stories and even the characters like
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: lance rocket like what's really funny about it is you
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: have Dee Snider playing a guy that 20 years ago,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: there were people that thought that that's what he was
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: really like. And he was never like that. But I
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: had a job to make ends meet when I was
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: struggling at the Rainbow Bar and Grill, which is this
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: like heavy metal hangout on the Sunset Strip. And the
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: people that still go there, like every Friday and Saturday night,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: they are Lance Rocket. Like they still think it's coming back.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, they're talking about how, like, Trickster's
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: going to tour again and, like, they're probably going to
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: sell out everywhere. It's like, no, they're not, man. It's
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: not happening. But they come in the leather pants and
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: the makeup and the whole thing. And that was really
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: where I got the idea for having this sort of
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: delusional boss. But, like, this season, Lance, because we're facing
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: the cable station being shut down, starts focusing on a
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: more realistic career for himself. So he starts writing original
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Van Halen songs.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: As opposed to just doing Van Halen covers. Yeah.
• 40:16
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: But we actually do a song in the season finale.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: He unleashes his first song called Love It Down Your Throat.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: a music video for it that's going to come out
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: and everything. And his son, Cody, directed the music video.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Which he's not so sure he wants credit for.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: He wants credit to Lance Rocket.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Yes. He said, I'm going to continue. Because it's supposed
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: to be bad.
• 40:37
  Speaker 12: And as any filmmaker, you don't go and you're trying
• 40:40
  Speaker 12: to make a good movie, not a bad movie. And
• 40:44
  Speaker 12: Cody's got already some award-winning rock videos that he's done
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: for bands like Motionless and White. videos of the year
• 40:50
  Speaker 12: in Revolver and Kerrang. So he's like, because we live
• 40:55
  Speaker 12: in the same house. So he called me and he goes,
• 40:56
  Speaker 12: I can't. I have a problem with this. And he's like,
• 41:00
  Speaker 12: it's too good. Throw in some more.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: It's too good. He's like, I can't put my name
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: on this.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: There was a shot where the drummer tried to spin
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: his sticks and dropped it and had to stop and
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: go pick it up.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Put that in. He's like, oh, God. My microphone cord
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: got caught in my chiffon.
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: And I'm like trying to get untangled.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Leave it, leave it, he's saying.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: But Cody had the brilliant idea that Lance would do
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: stuff that only he thinks is cool. Like it's a
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: song called Love It Down Your Throat. He's like, but
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: he'd have a samurai sword.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: I'm like.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: He's like, why not? And he'd fight a tiger at
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: one point and he would just be kicking down doors
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: because it's cool and all that's in there.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Which is, I'm actually, I'm reading, you read the book?
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: Did you say you read?
• 41:39
  Speaker 12: They pointed that out, that people would just have things, say, oh,
• 41:42
  Speaker 12: I want to do this. I want to be, Bon Jovi,
• 41:46
  Speaker 12: there's a book called I Want My MTV.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: I want to just fly across the stage. Okay. Or
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: we want a lion. I want a tiger in there.
• 41:53
  Speaker 12: And people, that's what they do, except when I want
• 41:56
  Speaker 12: a tiger, it's a stuffed tiger.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: And then I fight it. I fight it and win.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: With a lot of those little videos.
• 42:03
  Speaker 12: I think at one point, I opened up fucking.
• 42:06
  Speaker 18: Episode three.
• 42:07
  Speaker 11: Those are the words.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Fuck the tiger.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: Fuck the tiger.
• 42:11
  Speaker 18: There's a lot of those old videos that there's weird
• 42:13
  Speaker 18: stuff going on.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: You're like, what inspired this?
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's... Yeah, it's about a video from last
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: in line with everybody, like, getting, like, cut and, like,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: green stuff spewing everywhere.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Like, what was that?
• 42:26
  Speaker 18: Well, the real question is, when is Diver Down going
• 42:28
  Speaker 18: on tour?
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: You know, I hope someday, like what Dee was just saying, that, like,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: there is the show... Because it is growing, and it's
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: growing very fast. And it would be great to get
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: to the point that we can do it in a
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: traditional way where everybody... can be there for the whole
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: run of the show and shoot it in front of
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: an audience each week, like, like you're supposed to do
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: and not have to sort of shoot it like a
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: feature film the way we do it. Cause I mean,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: as much as it is low budget, it's not that
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: low budget. I mean like the show looks just as
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: good as anything else on a network. And, um, and
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: so we're just, we're really careful with how we do
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: it so that we can't have all the money on
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the screen. But if that could happen, it's.
• 43:04
  Speaker 12: Like, and no wasting money on AC or, So we
• 43:09
  Speaker 12: look a little glistening.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But you know, there's like, there's always that dream
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: of like, you know, just one time only at like,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: you know, something like a San Diego comic con or whatever.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: And cause I mean like between like Guar and, and
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: then D and then Corey, who's like amazing country singer too.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: But like just one time to have everybody singing on
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: stage together in some way. But like last night we
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: all went to dinner and this is the first time
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: that the entire, all six of us are in the
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: same place at the same time. It never happens because
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: D comes in for his stuff and then he's gone
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: and then the new set is up and then Odorous
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: is there and then he's gone. And so we've never
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: actually sat and read a script together before ever. So
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: today at 5 we're going to do that for the
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: first time. But I felt like my mom last night.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Like whenever the family gets together, my mom, you know,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: she just sits back and watches because she's so happy
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: to have everybody in one place.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: It was a TGI Friday, which was ironic. Because it
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: was Friday.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: It was Friday. And we were really thankful.
• 44:07
  Speaker 11: Thank God.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Thank God it was Friday. Thank God it was Friday.
• 44:10
  Speaker 18: I'm just imagining the table next to you.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: No, they were all freaking out. See, at least for Dave,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: you know, Odorous, unless he's in that costume, nobody.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Knows what he looks like.
• 44:19
  Speaker 18: That's what I was going to say. I was hoping
• 44:20
  Speaker 18: he was wearing the costume for Friday.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: But he's the most recognizable face ever, so there's no
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: hiding that. But no, everybody was cool with the conversations.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Because Corey's English is pregnant right now and people are
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: talking about eating babies and placentas and like... Nursing.
• 44:36
  Speaker 11: Nursing.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Area 51. World War II. It was all over the place. Stalingrad.
• 44:43
  Speaker 8: Stalingrad.
• 44:44
  Speaker 12: 70th anniversary of Stalingrad which Dave is going to for
• 44:47
  Speaker 12: some reason for his birthday.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:50
  Speaker 15: Why not?
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: But being able to sit back and watch this because
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: these are all my favorite people from all these different
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: facets of my life and of course... You're always hoping
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: your friends will get along with each other and like
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: each other as much as you do. And the fact
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: that it clicked so instantly with everybody was just great.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: And then Dave, especially from GWAR, like, you know, he's
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: got to be Dave from GWAR, but he's a huge
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Twisted fan, a huge D fan. And it's all he
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: ever says is just like, I can't believe I'm on
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: a show with D. And he's so nice. He's so great.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: It's just awesome.
• 45:18
  Speaker 18: Did you already have the GWAR connection, or did you
• 45:21
  Speaker 18: have to reach out to him?
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: I had to reach out to him, but from the
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: conception of the show, there was always the alien in
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: my closet. And as a GWAR fan since I was 14,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I was always like, wouldn't it be great to get it?
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: But in my 14-year-old mind, I'm like, we could never.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: ever get him. That guy is so.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: It's like me getting Niedermeyer for the video. Yes, that's it.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: When I went, I said, what.
• 45:43
  Speaker 12: Do you see as the dad? Well, someone like the
• 45:46
  Speaker 12: guy who plays Niedermeyer, like that kind of guy. And
• 45:48
  Speaker 12: our doctor goes, why don't we get him?
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: What is he doing? We're going to cure for cancer?
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Because it works inside the whole house. So I was like.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 45:55
  Speaker 12: It was like $ 1, 000.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Which is what we paid for Dave. Yeah.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: When I met with him, I set it up through
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Metal Blade. I went backstage to one of their shows.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I sat down with him. And he's just like, so.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: What is this?
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, it's a sitcom. He's like, wait, stop.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: You want Odorous on a sitcom.
• 46:10
  Speaker 11: I'm like, yeah.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: He's like, all right. I'm like, done. That was it.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: Five seconds.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, the money's not. I don't care.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: He's like, I wanted to use his footage.
• 46:17
  Speaker 12: I saw his interview as Odorous when we were doing
• 46:21
  Speaker 12: the EPK interview. Did you use his in anything? That
• 46:24
  Speaker 12: was something. So he goes, so this kid comes in
• 46:27
  Speaker 12: and he comes in and he says, I'm doing a show.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: And I said, fine, okay. And a year later he
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: comes in, it's getting there, we're getting there. I said, fine.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: And then one year he rolls in with this big
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: fat record exec so I know it's serious.
• 46:39
  Speaker 19: He comes from a big fat record executive so I
• 46:44
  Speaker 19: know on that record he's a.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Movie executive I know he's serious every time he opens
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: his mouth it's Peter Park it's gonna.
• 46:51
  Speaker 20: Be a problem classics every time well I guess to
• 46:56
  Speaker 20: cross over a little I mean you I guess really
• 46:58
  Speaker 20: broke through with Hatchet again assuming you watched a lot
• 47:02
  Speaker 20: of slashers growing up what was it that made you
• 47:05
  Speaker 20: want to do Hatchet and to try to do it your.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Way Um, I'm actually, you know, I like the slashers because,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I grew up in the heyday of Halloween
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: and Nightmare on Elm Street and all that stuff. But
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: for me, it was really just as a horror fan,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: I was so disenchanted with what I was getting because,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: you know, in the 90s, we had Scream, which was
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: a genius movie. But then all the knockoffs of the
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: teen whodunits and there was no more gore. There was
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: no more monster. There was no more fantasy. And then
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: it got to the point that there was no more fun.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: because it was either a remake or a torture movie,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: and it was all about how mean-spirited and depraved you
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: can be. And those movies were all actually ripping him off,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: because Strangeland was the first movie that was a torture movie.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: And so I just wanted to make a movie that
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: was fun again. And so I had a lot of trouble, though,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: with that script, because people would read it, and they're laughing,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it's... intensely gory and
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: scary and they're like well what wait it's got to
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: be one or the other like nobody's gonna and they
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: are right to some extent like horror comedy it never
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: crosses over at the box office so I'm very fortunate
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: that like worldwide the movie has struck such a great
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: audience and then now the third one's gonna come out
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: in two months I never would have thought I just
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: wanted to make the movie I wanted to see and
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: then hope that it proved that I was competent enough
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: to make a movie and then you know lead to
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: what I wanted to do next. And the fact that
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: it's now a franchise is, it's incredible. Like just seeing
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: people at these conventions with their own Victor Crowley costumes. And, um,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: but it's, you know, like I was saying before about
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: a show that just, it just speaks to people like they,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: they identify with it. And I think a lot of
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: people felt the same way I did at that point.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: So when Hatchet came out, they, they felt like it
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: was for them because it did remind them of why
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: they got into this in the first place. But, when
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I got into horror, it wasn't to see women get
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: brutally raped realistically for no reason or strapped to a
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: chair and tortured. And, um, there's, you know, there's certain
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: things and it's, it's always sucks. Cause it's like, I'm
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: the guy made hatchet. And so there's all these people
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: that are so let down when they meet me, they're like, wait, you,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: you're the guy, like they're expecting somebody much cooler. And,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: but I won't ever have a scene with a woman
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: getting raped. I won't have animal abuse in a movie.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: I won't, there's just certain things I just won't do. Um, Now,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: in a movie like Irreversible or whatever, yes, you have
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: to have an intense rape scene because like it's that's
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: a drama and it all hinges on that but in
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: a slasher movie if you are going there it's because
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: you're a fucking terrible filmmaker and you're just trying to
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: push whatever buttons you can to try to get some
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: sort of reaction so every time I see one of
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: those movies where someone's like dude I just made a
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: movie where we fucked a baby and sewed people's lips
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: to their assholes and ate shit I'm like you're awesome
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: man go fuck yourself yeah.
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: Are you okay with handing it off to somebody else,
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: since it was so personal to begin with?
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I was okay handing it off at first, because I
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: was ready to hand it off. Like, I can't keep
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: making hatchet movies forever, but I did want to see
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: it go on. And I wrote it, I produced it,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: I cast it, it was all my crew, it was
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: all the same people. I mean, it was kind of
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: like being the ultimate puppet master, because there was nothing
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: anybody could do without me okaying it. I still had
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: a final cut on the movie, so... it was a
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: very safe way to pass off. It wasn't like I
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: had to just see what happened, what somebody else did.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: And ultimately ended up being a lot more involved than
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: I ever thought I was going to have to be. Um,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: but ultimately I do think that, um, BJ and the
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: crew and everybody did a very good job in the movie.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: It's really cool. I mean, it looks a lot bigger
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: than the other two because we just were able to
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: put money in the right places. And, um, But you
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: never know what the fans are going to think.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: My son Cody is one of the co-stars in the movie.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: And he steals the movie.
• 50:36
  Speaker 12: The same one who he mentored and is a director
• 50:39
  Speaker 12: and a writer. And he got him because he is
• 50:42
  Speaker 12: a character. So he told Cody, I want you to
• 50:44
  Speaker 12: be in the movie. And Cody went down and laid
• 50:48
  Speaker 12: in the dirt in the swamp.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: And he learned so much because he's like, I'm not
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: an actor. I'm like, you've just got to be you.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, but if you want to be a
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: really good director, act. And watch and see what it's
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: like on this side of it. and watch, and, like,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: watch the director, and see what he does, and then
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: each night, I'm like, so what did you learn that
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: you like, what did you learn that you don't do, and, like, um,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: he was just, he's, he's like a sith, and he's
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: this weird ADD type kid, who's, like, all energetic, and
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: you can't control, but he's always listening, and paying, he's very,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: very smart, which is, which is great, um, but yes,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I passed it off, and, um, movie's done, and, uh,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: so far, the people we screened it for, their reactions
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: have been great, and I think the fans will like it, and,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I never know until like two years later. People are like, well,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: which one's your favorite out of them?
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: I'm still partial to two, to part two, but we'll see.
• 51:34
  Speaker 18: Partial to Danielle. We did have her on. She's pretty awesome.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, and she's back again in three.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: She's amazing.
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: Well, to bounce back to a different movie story, you're
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: in one of the best movies.
• 51:45
  Speaker 18: Ever made, Pee Wee's Big Adventure. How does that happen? Again,
• 51:50
  Speaker 18: a meeting of great minds and fans. You and Paul Reuben.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised to be speaking about this. I'm all over
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: the map. No, that's okay. That's okay. Actually, I was
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: a big Pee Wee fan. Pee Wee was not a
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: kid's guy.
• 52:07
  Speaker 12: We started out as college and adult weirdo comedy. And
• 52:11
  Speaker 12: we met at an MTV New Year's party backstage. We
• 52:14
  Speaker 12: were both making an appearance and it turned out it
• 52:17
  Speaker 12: was like a mutual admiration thing.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: I was like, I love your stuff. Love your stuff.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: And then... That was in January. And cut to, I guess, March.
• 52:26
  Speaker 12: And people reach out to us and say, Pee Wee's
• 52:28
  Speaker 12: doing a movie.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: It turned out Tim Burton, who nobody knew Tim was.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: Nobody knew who he was.
• 52:33
  Speaker 12: Just a weird dude. And wants to know if you'll
• 52:36
  Speaker 12: be in it. And I said, oh, man, absolutely.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: No problem.
• 52:39
  Speaker 12: And it was like we were doing Five Nights with
• 52:42
  Speaker 12: Iron Maiden at the Long Beach Arena.
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: Sold out. Five nights. So we were in town.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: It worked out.
• 52:46
  Speaker 12: I said, so you guys are shooting a rock video
• 52:49
  Speaker 12: and Pee Wee comes through, blah, blah, blah.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: And I said, and what song are we doing? We're
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: not going to take it? He goes, no. I said,
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I want a rock. And he goes, no. He goes,
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: Burn in Hell. I'm like, yeah.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Pee Wee is cool.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: Burn in Hell.
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: Even more reason for me to like, because Burn in
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: Hell is one of the best songs.
• 53:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: But nobody lives like that.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, we're not going to take it.
• 53:09
  Speaker 11: No, no, man.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: Burn in Hell. Like, awesome. Let's do that.
• 53:12
  Speaker 12: So, uh, And then, you know, but it's a little
• 53:16
  Speaker 12: Pee-wee situation.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: So Pee-wee, when I met him, you know, backstage, you know, hey, man,
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: what's going on?
• 53:22
  Speaker 11: Yada, yada, yada.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: I'm going out there. Hey, how you doing, guys? Right?
• 53:26
  Speaker 12: So then I see Pee-wee on the movie set, you know,
• 53:29
  Speaker 12: a few months later. Still hasn't blown up like big.
• 53:32
  Speaker 12: And we're just hanging out talking. He's like, yeah, what's
• 53:33
  Speaker 12: going on?
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay, okay, okay. You know, and he goes out.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: So they cut to.
• 53:39
  Speaker 12: A year from then. Now he's bigger than Jesus. So
• 53:43
  Speaker 12: I was like, hey, Pee-wee. I said, hey, I like
• 53:45
  Speaker 12: the Pee-wee.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: In our video. Mr.
• 53:48
  Speaker 12: Rubens needs time to transform into the Pee-wee character.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what? He says, yes, this is a process
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: that he goes through.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: I said, oh, you got it.
• 54:00
  Speaker 18: And we're trying to get all the red M &
• 54:01
  Speaker 18: Ms out.
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 54:02
  Speaker 11: Rubens.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: So we didn't have Mr.
• 54:05
  Speaker 12: Rubens in the video because there wasn't enough time for
• 54:07
  Speaker 12: him to transform into the character. He was spoken a
• 54:11
  Speaker 12: joint and thrown a switch one year earlier.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: Now he has to transform.
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: The artist that is peewee.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: End scene.
• 54:27
  Speaker 5: Uh, well, I guess just to, to bring it back
• 54:29
  Speaker 5: around and have you guys plug the show, do, do
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: you want to, should we push FearNet or, or where's
• 54:34
  Speaker 5: the best way for people to go find it?
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Um, well, the show airs on FearNet on Tuesday nights
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: at 10 o'clock. The season premieres June 4th. Um, and then, uh,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: at least last season, and it should be the same
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: for this season, the show usually shows up on iTunes
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: and Hulu and other places like that. Um, usually within
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: about 24 hours after it airs. So, uh, Yeah, so
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: there's really no excuse to not see it. There's definitely
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: a way.
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: For us to watch it. Unless you're like a total loser.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, even if you don't get the FearNet network, you
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: can watch it. But if you don't get FearNet, you
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: can also demand it from your cable provider. And I
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: was always skeptical on that. I didn't believe that that worked.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: But last season, the fans got... I mean, just in
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: the month that the show premiered, there was like six
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: new cities that started carrying it simply because the fans
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: kept asking for it. So it does work if you
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: ask for it. I think the number is 877... I
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: don't know the number.
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: But, yeah. 877 something.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Google it. 5309.
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: 8675. Ask Virginia.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: There's a phone number with fears in it. Fear 247.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Fuck it.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: Just, yeah. Google it. But, yeah.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: You can watch it on Fearnet or you can watch
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: it on iTunes or Hulu. And if you do watch
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: it and you like it, please, please tell everybody you
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: know about it.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: If you don't like it, keep your mouth shut.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: It's, again, I mean, for.
• 55:54
  Speaker 18: movie fans in general, specifically for horror fans.
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: It's funny that it's a TV show and a very
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: sitcom based thing, but it, it crosses over so easily.
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, you guys are such movie geeks that it's
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: constant references and your cutaway scenes that are just straight
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: out of other movies. And it's, it's, it's a really
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: good tie in that I think for a TV show
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: really works well for movie fans.
• 56:13
  Speaker 12: If I say to people, it's like Spinal Tap in that,
• 56:17
  Speaker 12: in that if anybody can watch Spinal Tap and enjoy it,
• 56:21
  Speaker 12: but if you're a heavy metal guy or girl, you
• 56:23
  Speaker 12: get that much more out of it. You don't have
• 56:26
  Speaker 12: to be a horror fan to watch Holliston. You can
• 56:29
  Speaker 12: just enjoy it as a situation comedy, and it's.
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: A great show.
• 56:33
  Speaker 12: But if you're a horror geek, even better, because it's
• 56:36
  Speaker 12: all this inside stuff for you, which is great.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: Definitely. Well, I think that was it.
• 56:41
  Speaker 18: Thank you for being here with us today.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you for having us.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Our pleasure.

  Speaker 19: Yes.
• 57:00
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 57:23
  Speaker 12: You can hear the thunder long before the storm.
• 57:29
  Speaker 11: But you can't hear the lion when he stalks his prey.
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: He's moving like.
• 57:36
  Speaker 11: A shadow, creeping upon you.
• 57:40
  Speaker 12: And like a siren's call, he's going to have his way.
• 57:53
  Speaker 11: Don't make us stand just up.
• 57:56
  Speaker 13: Outside If you don't have what it takes Don't try
• 58:01
  Speaker 13: to play, you'll lose your state Remember this at least
• 58:05
  Speaker 13: It's the nature.

  Speaker 3: That's actual wood.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: Why would you use wood to make technology?
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: Because it's like they're steampunk. Is steampunk really wood?
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: I thought it was more of a brass thing.
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: Well, you got to work the wood in to hold
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: the brass together. These are the fancy high-end steampunk versions
• 58:43

  Speaker 5: Could make me be true, could make me.
• 1:01:41

• 1:02:29
  Speaker 19: And it's always to be with all you lovely little
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 19: boys and girls.
• 1:02:34

  Speaker 13: Don't you think I'm wonderful?
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 11: Stay ashore on my time.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: Stay away.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 5: So, okay, you were hanging out with Dee Snider.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 14: How awesome.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 15: I mean, it was just really great.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 17: It was funny sitting there and, like, I didn't really
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 17: think about it beforehand, but, like, how much, I don't know,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 17: he had kind of a recurring presence.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 15: I mean, not literally because, obviously, I don't hang out
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 15: with Dee Snider.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 6: Like Adam.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: Right. He didn't end up in your life like.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: He did with Adam.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 17: But like I was thinking about it and I'm just like,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 17: you know, there are just so many times in my
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 17: life where, you know, we were we were talking about,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 17: you know, Pee Wee's Big Adventure. And I watched that
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 17: so much when I was a kid. And I just
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 17: remember seeing, you know, Twisted Sister like on different things
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 17: or like hearing music and and just thinking of how
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 17: cool it was. And it was just really cool being
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 17: able to sit there and see one of my heroes,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 17: you know. And not just that, but, like, just hang
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 17: out and talk to him. And, I don't know, he's
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 17: just a really cool guy.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: Like, again, looking at, you know, you could talk to
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: a lot of, and they even in the weekend made
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 5: fun of a lot of him being compared to a
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: lot of other 80s hair band kind of rock stars. And,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: you know, you can lump all those guys in together. But, like,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: when I think back and think about... The difference between him,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, the fact that Dee Snider went and, like,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 5: sat down in front of the Senate and, like, told
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: them why what they were trying to do was wrong. Why,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 5: you know, censoring music and art in general is wrong.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: Why the specifics. And with that... tipper gore sitting in
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: the room was calling her out for specific quotes that
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: she had made about their band about music you know
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: the specific genre of music and like she and just
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: pointing out how wrong she was and doing it very
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: well spoken and doing it in and and going up
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 5: there and still kind of dressed in his jeans and
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 5: metal t-shirt but like he sat down and went well
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: you know first of all i'm a parent and as
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: a parent i think it's my responsibility so like watching
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: him like be so level-headed and so smart about, you know,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: trying to defend all of us, you know, it's like
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: the music in general, but like all of our freedom
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 5: to like, listen to what we want and record what
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: we want. And that, that is amazing to me when
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: I look back on that. So it's like, that's one
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: of those things, had we had time, I could have
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 5: sat there and talked to him about that kind of
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: stuff for like hours probably. But yeah, they, they had
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: to get in there and do the stuff for the,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 5: for their show this weekend.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 14: So yeah.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: That in and of itself was amazing. And then we
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: can get into that show because afterwards, after they finished
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: that later on in the day, they did a live,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: like a table reading of a, an episode. And it's
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: an original episode of Holliston that they made specifically for
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: this weekend. And, um, that was probably one of the
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: best things I've ever seen at a convention. Like again,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 5: so often it's like I, and maybe it's just cause
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: I go to so many of them at this point,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 5: but just, standing in line to see somebody sign their
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 5: name on a picture is no you know I'm bored
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 5: with that now and even like when people come out
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: and like do a Q & A like a lot
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 5: of times they're so boring like even if it's somebody
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 5: I'm interested in sometimes they're just so lackluster and it
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 5: might be a huge room and you're so far away
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 5: from them but like this became an actual performance and
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 5: like that's something you don't see at these kind of
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 5: things is somebody actually like putting on a show and
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 5: like doing like live and making it interactive with the
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 5: audience and like involving members of the audience on occasion
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: and bringing in special guests and it was like it
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: was probably one of the best things I've seen it
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 5: definitely is like I'm glad we came to the convention
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 5: this weekend just because I saw that like awesome enough
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: that we worked in an entire interview but like even
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: if that didn't happen if I would have just gotten
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 5: to see them do that live performance it sort of
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 5: makes me appreciate the TV show so much more now.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 15: Well, and I feel like that is.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 17: I feel like Adam can get a lot of credit
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 17: for that because he even talks about, like, how he
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 17: is us. Like, he is one of those horror geeks that,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 17: you know, stands in line and goes and gets autographs.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 17: I mean, not so much now, but, like, back in
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 17: the day before he became this incredible director and actor
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 17: and writer and all these things. Like, that was him,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 17: you know, standing in line.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 15: And so.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 17: you know, I feel like he has more of a
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 17: passion to be able to bring something entertaining and something
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 17: awesome to all the fans instead of, you know, just
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 17: having people wait in line to, to meet him and
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 17: not even interacting with anybody. So it was, it was
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 17: just really cool to be able to go in there
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 17: and sit down and watch them do something that, you know,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 17: watch them have fun. And, you know, in the, in
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 17: the process, it was entertaining for us to do, but I,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 17: I feel like that it was very intentional. I feel like,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 17: you know, he made the decision to do that. And,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 17: I feel like a lot of that probably has something
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 17: to do with the influence that Dee has on his life, too, because,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 17: you know, Dee's an entertainer.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 15: Like, that's what he does.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 17: And so I feel like they just, you know, they
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 17: were very intentional about it, and that's what they wanted
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 17: to do.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 15: So I just think that's really, really cool of them.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: He does want to work with that element. Like, he
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 5: likes sort of blurring that line because, I mean, you're casting. Like,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: he's a movie director, right? He's now sort of spilling
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 5: over into TV in a very movie geek way, but
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 5: he could have cast whoever he wanted, I guess, in
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 5: those roles, and he bothers to work in two really
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 5: recognizable rock stars in the middle of his show about
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: horror movies. Granted, they have a lot of horror-themed stuff
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: going on, too. It makes sense, but he could have
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: just cast anybody in those roles. Now, granted, it also
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: brings people in that are just fans of Either Gwar or,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: you know, Twisted Sister. But I think it's just he
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: likes that aspect to the performance aspect. He really does
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 5: like bringing in people that are characters, you know. They're, like,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 5: on stage. They really go out of their way to
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 5: get attention and, you know, put.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 6: On a good show.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: And, like, he knows that they're going to bring that
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: to the role. So I think he does have that, like,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 5: you know, rockstar tie-in that he kind of likes adding
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 5: that to what they're doing. But yeah, I will give
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 5: him credit that like, he was so down to earth,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 5: you know, he really does still come off like one
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 5: of us, you know, standing there with him. I was like, yeah,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: it's like, this is, this is just a guy that,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 5: you know, if I didn't know any better would be
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 5: in line next to me waiting to get something signed.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 5: Like he's very down to earth and was very cool.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 5: Just kind of hanging out even after we were done
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 5: talking to us about what, you know, how things have
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 5: turned out for him and how he's ended up where
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 5: he is now. And it's, yeah, I think he appreciates
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 5: where he's, where he's turned up in his career and,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 5: and all the cool stuff that's happened to him along
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 5: the way and kind of likes showcasing that. And especially
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: on the show, I, I, Again, I think it is
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 5: such a good tie-in show for movie geeks that everybody
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 5: who hasn't checked it out, it's definitely worth looking into.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: It has a weird take on the sitcom thing. It's like, again,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: if you gave a movie geek a camera and went, here,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 5: what if you had to make a TV sitcom? And
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 5: that's what it does. It works in all these very
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 5: cliche moments of the standard, especially 80s era sitcoms. when
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 5: they became very formulaic and silly and like it plays
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 5: on all those, but it's kind of doing it very knowingly.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: So it makes it a little funnier to me. I
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 5: don't know. I, I think the fact that it's very
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: self-aware and as he said, even breaks the fourth wall
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: sometimes of how self-aware it is that like it makes
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 5: it all a joke and it makes it all okay
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 5: that they know how silly they're being and how it's
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 5: okay to bring in guest stars because really we just
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 5: want to see him bring in these guest stars because it's,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 5: you know, again, people he's worked with now that, it
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 5: makes it fun it makes it like this big horror
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 5: community that you know everybody sort of gets worked into
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 5: the show at some point so i i think it's
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 5: definitely a lot of fun and and a good tie-in
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 5: for movie geeks so um yeah i'd say go find
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 5: it watch it even if you don't like it it's
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 5: it's worth checking out it's like i.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 17: Was um telling brian it was i had an entertaining
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 17: moment where um after we were finished recording Adam and
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 17: Brian were standing there talking and it was like watching
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 17: somebody talking to a mirror. Um, I mean, they, they
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 17: do have different ways of going about things. I mean,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 17: you know, Adam is very, um, he's become very Hollywood,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 17: I guess, if you want, if you will. I mean, he,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 17: he has that certain air about him, but at the
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 17: same time, like he was just talking about, you know,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 17: his passions basically. And he is so grateful that, to
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 17: be able to do what he's doing and, you know,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 17: to have the response that he's had. And so it
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 17: was just a really funny thing to, to stand there
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 17: and watch the two of them like talk about stuff.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 17: Cause it was like, it's the same person. It was
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 17: so weird.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 5: I'll take that. There's, there's definitely a much worse people
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 5: I could be prepared to. So Adam is a very
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 5: cool guy.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 14: I'll take that.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 5: Well, I think that's, uh, that's sort of rounded it out.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 5: We've had a, a good weekend and an exhausting weekend nonetheless.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 5: So we'll, I think we're going to try to get
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: back home and probably fall asleep. So otherwise it has
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 5: been a good time. Thanks for joining us and going
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: along on the little journey and, and definitely awesome that
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: we got to, to hang out with D and Adam.
• 1:12:19
