Thanks for tuning in to a special edition of the Old Dirty Basement. We have a special guest today Jess Weiss from Five Nights at Freddy's.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she played Chica and despite the name, don't let it fool you she is not Mexican. Quite the contrary, she is as American as apple pie. Just a dear, a sweetheart, an all-around fantastic person and a great interview.
Speaker 3:Yeah, jess was a real super cool guest. She came in here. She brought her brother, had some cool pictures of herself dressed as Chica, gave them to my kids, signed some autographs and they became instance celebrities at school. Wanted to thank her for that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, shout out to her brother, sean, the snowman friend of the show. He hooked us up with this and we appreciate it. Talk about a lot in this episode Stallone, David Copperfield. She worked with him a little bit, which was cool. Somebody trying to cop a field at Comic Con? Oh, at least they tried. Yeah, tried, but she's working on her martial arts and boxing, so but anyway, we hope you enjoyed the show. Speaking of which, if you are, leave that five star rating on Spotify, on Apple, you can leave a written review and sit back, relax and enjoy our interview with Jess Weiss.
Speaker 3:Hey guys, how's it going in the basement today?
Speaker 2:What's going on? Not so bad.
Speaker 3:We have some special guests here today. I see, I see some faces.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we got new faces.
Speaker 2:Two special guests in here, certainly not familiar with the dirt of this basement. No for sure how old and dirty it is.
Speaker 1:Right, this is a relatively new movie. We're doing Five Nights at Freddy's but, more importantly, we're here to interview Jess Weiss and her brother Sean. He's here as well, thank you, yeah, welcome, welcome, welcome, yes. So the movie that just came out and Jess, you were in the movie Tell us a little bit about that movie.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I was, I was, I played Chica. She is a murderous chicken.
Speaker 3:Nice Spoiler alert you don't, don't give all the all the way here. No, right, right yeah.
Speaker 4:The movie was based off of these video games that came out about 2014, I believe, and it just has a massive fan following, and they range from first graders to 29 year olds and older and older.
Speaker 3:Yeah, don't, yeah, don't leave us out here, yeah 29.
Speaker 2:Jeez, I got friends of mine with kids I know who are just crazy over that game.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Absolutely crazy. They get the figurines, they get the pens, they get the I mean everything.
Speaker 4:Yeah, the merchandising for this game is ridiculous. I didn't realize how much it was. And the more and more fans I keep meeting, they show me their collection and I'm like, oh my God, this is massive.
Speaker 3:Is it? Is it cool to see like you're the person you played a little like Chica with, you know? Yeah just there and like that was me.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, for sure, it's very interesting because it's the merchandise, for the movie hasn't come out yet, but I mean there's so much already.
Speaker 3:Christmas is coming.
Speaker 1:Yeah, is that going to be like a hot time, like Christmas time, that stuff?
Speaker 4:I'm sure, Like there's already a five nights at Freddy Advent calendar.
Speaker 1:Oh wow Really.
Speaker 4:Oh, that's fantastic that is awesome.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's a great day to try to get something and it was kind of limited stock on everything, so I'd imagine that's that stuff's coming out Now. The movie came out. What was it? October 25th.
Speaker 4:It was early release on the 26th.
Speaker 1:Okay 26.
Speaker 4:Yeah. It was originally supposed to be the 27th Halloween weekend and it blew it out of the box.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was going to say, yeah, I was looking at the numbers and it did really well at the box office.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Still doing well. It was at number two this week, still yeah.
Speaker 3:That's wild. That was on. Paramount had it on, that was Peacock.
Speaker 1:There's so many of them now again.
Speaker 3:But yeah, that's what we actually. My kids were begging us to get it, so we went and got it for like the one month and we actually put a reminder. So after the month's up we're like cancel that subscription to not saying that Peacock is great. Not saying that it's just, you know, limited funds.
Speaker 1:I do it for the year. I pay a little for the year.
Speaker 2:We were talking about this at one point, and it's not often that you see a movie come out and also simultaneously released on the home theater version, the streaming version, where that movie does so incredibly well. I mean it's bananas, the fact that people can just stay at home and just sit on their couches and get it. No, these people went out, and I mean like in droves. You're talking about the crazy fans. I'm sure there was the cosplay that was all kinds of stuff for these nights going out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think this is probably much like Star Wars and these other movies, where there's so much like a fan frenzy that you've been doing these Comic Con type things. It's probably like a frenzy when these movies come out, you know.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's definitely. I've talked to so many fans and one fan in particular was like I've seen the movie four times. I'm like, oh cool, Did you see it at home? And I like, no, I went to the theater, Neat.
Speaker 2:That's amazing.
Speaker 3:Yeah. You know what would be cool is like how they have what's the one that they show, like late nights at 12 o'clock, like things like that, to get a following where people bring like dress up and yeah, oh, I'm sure it'll be like a midnight showing. Yeah, like a midnight showing.
Speaker 4:There were so many people already dressing up, just go see it.
Speaker 3:See, that's cool.
Speaker 4:Like didn't matter the time. It was like I'm watching these Tik Toks and it's crazy.
Speaker 3:So how did? How did like what? How did you go out for this role? Like what? Was it becoming like a stuntman or something? You said, yeah, Like a stunt.
Speaker 4:So the way it works is that with stunt stunting or being a stunt professional, you get your jobs through a stunt coordinator. There's no audition process. You know there is an audition process for the stunt coordinator and they understand your skill and what you're capable of. And Andy Dillon, who I've worked with on multiple projects he's the stunt coordinator for Five Nights at Freddy's reached out to me and said hey, you know I've got this, I've got this job that's coming along and you'd be perfect for it and you know what do you think?
Speaker 4:And I had known about Five Nights at Freddy's. I never played it because the like jump scare, anxiety inducing anticipation games I don't do well with, so I never played it. So once I got the role, it's like okay now, now I got to play it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Not not a spoiler out there, but like it is for for kids to watch, it is like it's not bad, it's just a lot of like jump scares.
Speaker 4:A little bit. It's like oh yeah it's. Pg 13. So you know, it's suggested violence, no blood, no gore. Yeah.
Speaker 3:It could be like PG 10. Like, why don't they have something like that in between? Yeah, like in between? I think it's five, what does it? Got to go with 13?.
Speaker 1:Is there PG anymore? I guess there still is, they still do yeah.
Speaker 3:Primal guidance yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:Absolutely yeah, I just don't. It seems like everything's either PG 13, r or G.
Speaker 3:There's not many, actually not many Rs anymore. I don't see many R ratings.
Speaker 1:They say MA.
Speaker 3:Is that what it is?
Speaker 1:No, I think there's so many of these ratings. Yeah, like I think it's TV, tv, ma. Then they have NC 17. So this movie, like you said, you can get it on Peacock or go out to the theater. Definitely see it. But let's talk a little bit about you Like. How did you like, where did you grow up and what got you in the movies?
Speaker 4:and I grew up in Rockville, maryland which is outside of DC, for if anybody doesn't know, You're close, you're close to here, yeah, yeah. Exactly, I grew up in the area and I think getting into movies, it's just. I remember being really little and my I hung out with my siblings a lot, especially my brother, Sean, who's here, and Sean. Everybody say out of Sean and he, he'd always bring home movies, scary movies too. Silence of the lamp. I remember that and I was really young when you brought that home.
Speaker 3:What do you mean by like young, like eight? Probably younger than that, oh wow.
Speaker 4:I might have been six.
Speaker 3:So you're walking around thinking you were Clarice or something.
Speaker 4:No, I just I remember the one scene, sean, I like cover your eyes. And I'm like what's going on?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's an intense one, for sure. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4:But um, yeah, it was definitely. You know, I think my love film came from just watching the stuff that my siblings would bring home and you know just what I find on TV and I just kind of wanted to, you know, be part of it. It didn't matter what part.
Speaker 5:I just knew.
Speaker 4:I wanted to be part of it. So you know, in high school I started doing tech, theater and from there I went to school doing um. I went to a school called Full Sail, which is a school dedicated to learning those industries like film, um, game industry and uh, audio, uh engineering for live shows, which is what I went for. School Was that in. Maryland. No, it was actually in Florida. It was in Winter Park.
Speaker 2:Oh, never heard of that. That's awesome.
Speaker 1:So so when you were like real little like, I know, like when I was a kid, I used to like we used to. Well, matt and I, we've known each other. I knew it was apt to since high school, but when we were like in high school we used to try to make little short films. I had, like one of them, old, old, big camcorders. You know what I mean. We were always really creative and trying to do. Were you like that as a kid, like always trying to create and do things, or no? Was it just kind of like like watching the movies?
Speaker 4:and then decided, yeah, I liked watching them. Um, I never. I didn't really have a film camera, so that was never a thing, you know.
Speaker 1:Right, right, so you remember the camcorder. You know VHS, that type of stuff.
Speaker 4:Well, I do remember our dad having camcorder. Um, and I do remember videotaping over my sister's basketball games. Oh, okay.
Speaker 3:So you did do it.
Speaker 4:You did do like the little skits and not really skits, but like stuff on TV.
Speaker 3:Oh okay, just whatever like a show will come on, like what is that? Why the Disney? Whatever like film, whatever it definitely wasn't Disney. Oh okay, cool, cool.
Speaker 4:It was probably like TGIF Friday stuff. Oh, that stuff yeah.
Speaker 1:It was a big Curtis Mathis, camcorder Curtis Mathis was like an old school store and I remember my parents bought it, you know, for family stuff, and I would steal it and take tapes and we'd make like little skits, like we redid home alone at my house and like did a little. We would do dumb stuff like that.
Speaker 3:We would do a lot of MTV videos, yeah yeah, because we went to school we had to wear like shirt and ties, so we did that one. Coloring me bad. Yeah, coloring me bad, like we did a whole Coloring Me Bad video.
Speaker 1:It was pretty rad.
Speaker 3:We would do ones like people sneaking in the house, like somebody robbing your dog.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, oh man, I got him, I got him on tape, yeah, all kinds of cool stuff.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I do remember doing, you know, just not videotaping it, but mimicking.
Speaker 3:Stuff that you see on TV. Sure of course.
Speaker 2:I got to believe it. Any kids doing that oh?
Speaker 4:yeah, do you remember after I saw Beetlejuice? Yeah, go ahead, please. So you know, in Beetlejuice he's like nice fucking model.
Speaker 1:And I would do it, I would do the gesture and everything.
Speaker 3:How old was I? 10 or 11.
Speaker 4:10 or 11. Yeah, see, that's awesome.
Speaker 3:So it's like you kind of not that you knew, but you you hadn't, you liked it a lot.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, jim Carrey too.
Speaker 1:Oh, he was the mask and all that. Oh yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 2:Curling your lips behind your teeth.
Speaker 3:Oh, so you watched a lot of um yeah, Living Colour, yeah, Living Colour was really good for comedy. That was really good. I loved in.
Speaker 2:Living Colour. So when you get to a role like this, was this the end goal? That is to say and by end goal I mean hey, you're, you're on screen now, versus being behind the scene, or when you got into this, look, I'm just good with being behind the scene, or, you know, not called out, or anything like that, or how does it? How did it all balance?
Speaker 4:Um, you know it's. I don't think there is an end goal. I think the goal is just to keep participating and keep just, you know, for the love of the art, and just pushing your boundaries, seeing if you could do a better role and be better and act better, and it's just For me, that's always. It was always like well, I want to keep doing this.
Speaker 2:That's awesome, maybe I can do something a little bit better. Can't stop, won't stop.
Speaker 4:Exactly.
Speaker 3:Fantastic. But going back to the stunts, like did you have in that full sale? Was there like a school for that, like learning how to do stunts, or did you just?
Speaker 4:No, I mean, like I said, I went to school for audio engineering.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay.
Speaker 4:So I was an audio engineer, Um, but when I graduated I didn't touch an audio board at all.
Speaker 5:She went to a lot of stunts, of hard knocks growing up. Yeah, yeah, okay yeah.
Speaker 3:You said yeah, there was, there was a big story behind that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, growing up, you know, hanging out with my brother, sean a lot, who's 10 years older than me. Sorry, sean, he definitely I tell everybody that he's the reason why I do stunts now, because he's like, hey, hey, jesse, come here. I'll be like, yeah, what's up? He's like get in the dryer. I'm like, okay.
Speaker 5:Get in the dryer.
Speaker 4:Awesome he's like he's like I'm going to turn it on. I'm like okay.
Speaker 3:Just roll with it. But that didn't happen. That did Seriously, oh wow yeah. Get the dryer going before you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not just for cats anymore.
Speaker 5:You gotta give it a start.
Speaker 2:Get it rolling before you.
Speaker 3:So, it's like what you use when you like, like hey guys, check this out, Like when you go out for a roll, like you got a dryer anywhere. Let me hop in there, I'll show you something.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's on my stuff. No, but I mean, it was stuff like that, like uh, yeah, it used to do stuff with me in the cozy coop.
Speaker 5:Yeah, do you guys remember those little cars, that kids?

Speaker 4:Yeah, he's like don't, don't put your feet down, don't tell mom. He's like look at me, look at me, don't put your feet down.
Speaker 1:You should open a stunt school. You could train people and stuff Like a, like a like a gymnasium of dryers. Yeah, yeah, get in First step.
Speaker 4:You're gonna be like the Mr Miyagi of stunts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just didn't know if there was, like if you got into like a program and they showed you like how to land, how to kind of like with them, yeah, yeah, I definitely.
Speaker 4:since doing it, I've learned a lot and like right now I'm taking boxing lessons to work on my fight skills.

Speaker 4:They were. I mean, honestly, they've been really nice. The FNAF fans have been extremely nice and it's just. You know. Unfortunately, I don't think this person was a FNAF fan.

Speaker 1:Yeah, I heard that you did some work with. Are you working with David Copperfield I?
Speaker 4:did yeah, my first job out of school I was, uh, I got contracted to do to go on tour with David Copperfield, um, and it was just a PA position, and then I quickly moved up to a personal assistant position.
Speaker 3:That's pretty cool. So the personal, oh so I was wondering if you got to do any of the tricks or seen like behind the scenes of so there's um, there were when I was on tour.
Speaker 4:There were some illusions that, uh, audience members couldn't participate in because could be dangerous.
Speaker 2:So, like the sawing in half, they, they couldn't be a part of that?
Speaker 4:Well, I mean, I was never part of that.
Speaker 2:But yeah.
Speaker 4:Um, but there were some plants in the audience and I was one of the plants.
Speaker 3:Okay, cool. Yeah, I just remember when I was a kid they had that thing. Remember he made the Statue of Liberty disappear.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we were like kids, I was on.
Speaker 3:TV. Yeah, that was on TV. It was like a huge thing.
Speaker 2:He wrote off on a singing to uh, I need a hero by Bonnie Tyler.
Speaker 1:Oh, for real that was. I don't remember that part.
Speaker 2:It was the end song to that special I remember when I heard to be. David Copperfield because of that goddamn song at the end. It was just so motivating.
Speaker 3:Like I was dancing around the house. It was crazy. I just always liked how, like magicians, they just gave you the looks it's like yeah, that move and stuff yeah. You're like whoa, what's he doing? What's he doing?
Speaker 1:They ever screw with you guys, Like make the bus disappear and like you know the first time I met him Paycheck.
Speaker 4:Yeah, paycheck, yeah, no our paychecks were pretty consistent, more consistent than film, yeah, um, but oh, I'm the first time I met him. I was on the bus. I came in town, uh got on the bus cause we were going to the next city and my bus broke down. We had a our tire, uh got a flat, and David's bus was right behind us. We were on a four bus tour. So, this was like a legit tour it wasn't everybody.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, it was really big 12 people per bus so he had him and his two other assistants, so he was three people on his bus. Um, so our bus breaks down. They stopped to pick us up cause we're about to get to a venue 15 minutes outside of venue. And so we get on the bus and he comes out of his bedroom. I was like what's going on?
Speaker 3:And he Do you have a robe on. Who was he? Still in like, always in like a suit.
Speaker 4:He was not in a robe.
Speaker 2:Oh, my, oh, hey now.
Speaker 4:I yeah, in front of everybody and I just I.
Speaker 3:Magic wand Copper field. Yeah, I turned around cause um.
Speaker 4:I was giggling. Yeah, cause I was like, I was like, oh, and he thought, he thought I was polite, I was giving him his space and it was like I didn't want him to see me laughing, so, um, but yeah, and he usually had like three or four assistants, I think four, okay, and so he was looking for another assistant and, um, the tour manager had liked my work ethic and saw that it was competent, and then they asked me to to join on to the assistant team and I did.
Speaker 3:Cool, that's. That's cool Bit of knowledge there, copper field.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's fantastic and so it's like you said, right, so it just one builds off of the next, but you're just consistently building your resume.
Speaker 4:Exactly yeah.
Speaker 2:And then it's from that oh, hey, or or uh, not just your resume, but making connections as well. It's certainly in that business. I gotta believe it's who you know.
Speaker 4:It is. It really is. It's about who you know and networking. Um weird, weird connection. One of my bus drivers from David Copperfield when I years later talking years and when I started working at CNN was the CNN bus driver.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow.
Speaker 4:CNN had like this mobile news bus that would go around, and he was the bus driver.
Speaker 3:Oh, with Wolf Blitzer.
Speaker 4:Yes, he was. Oh my God, I wish I had this video. Uh, christmas party he was. He was a really great guy, very, very nice.
Speaker 2:I loved Wolf. He was my favorite. Cool, but um was he blitzed at the Christmas party? Yeah, he would he loved karaoke.
Speaker 4:So he was, yeah, he did he um he would sing uh this one Christmas party. Uh, he, he was doing karaoke to um black eyed peas. Okay, for real, yeah, sure why not, and anytime he would be like mausels, that's fantastic. That's cool. Well, holiday party, I should say, not Christmas.
Speaker 3:But um yeah, my, my wife helped me do some like uh, instagram stalking on you and stuff. So it was something with, uh like the Emmy, or with Wolf Blitzer.
Speaker 4:Yeah, cnn, I actually participated in a lot of the. You know, when you work for a news network, when you get an Emmy or any kind of word, that goes also to the people that participated in it and so, um, you know, I've got a few P? P bodies.
Speaker 1:Nice.
Speaker 4:Some other rewards? I don't know. I still have the P body certificate but yeah, the. Emmys. Yeah, but I my first help with Emmys was at RLTV, so okay, cool which was? Tv for your golden years.
Speaker 2:Nice, oh, retired living television Nice.
Speaker 4:Yeah, for the 55 plus.
Speaker 1:Nice. Oh, why do you guys like uh, like all the old school TV, like uh Gilligan's Island, stuff, like that?
Speaker 4:No, they had.
Speaker 1:So the the like a meat TV. Is that what you think? Yeah, so that was thinking of kind of no.
Speaker 4:the theory behind it was that it was going to be a television network for the 55 plus, so like retirement communities could watch it. Um, it was like Florence Henderson had a talk show with Ernie Hudson.
Speaker 1:Oh, so newer stuff, but just with the people there, I got to, I got to not reruns of stuff, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4:And then because original programming costs. So much you know they ended up doing you know they ended up doing that like later on at night, and I don't even know if it's around anymore.
Speaker 3:I don't. I mean you might be able to find it on channel 3468.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I know it was on Comcast and it wasn't nationwide at one point, but I don't know what's happened to it.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, we need to look into that.
Speaker 4:We're all getting a little bit closer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right, getting close to that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, on this side over here, you still got some time.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I don't know if you're doing stunts yeah. Do you ever get like, have you? Yeah, have you ever gotten a little bit closer? Yeah, have you ever been injured?
Speaker 4:I mean I have, you know, knock on wood. You know I've been. It's you really do need to be safe. It's not. It's not like, oh my God, you're never going to get injured. You are going to get injured and you have to trust and know your crew and the rigors that help with that. And luckily, I've been very awesome and it's just been really awesome. The crew that I work with and that I constantly get booked with are really great at what they do.
Speaker 3:Do you think Tom Cruise is a good stuntman?
Speaker 4:I've never met him Okay.
Speaker 3:I just I know he does a lot of his own stunts and for him, being like four foot three, has to be hard.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yes, yeah.
Speaker 4:I heard that he doesn't quite do all of his stunts.
Speaker 3:I just wanted some insider information.
Speaker 4:I kind of heard some stuff on that too. Like I said, that's just a rumor.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, rumors are all rumors.
Speaker 2:I can either confirm nor deny.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly yeah.
Speaker 2:I've been really impressed and grown obviously in your resume and your experience and expertise. In the history you have so far, is there any one person you would say that you have, you know, hitched your wagon to that's helped you along the most?
Speaker 4:I wouldn't say hitch your wagon. You know, it's cause I'm a very. I help everybody.
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 4:If somebody comes to me and say, hey, I need help with this and I don't. I don't discriminate what the position is.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 4:I've done PA positions that are way below my skill set.
Speaker 3:You started at the bottom. You know how it is, how hard it is to work up.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and it's like if, if I need work or if somebody is like really desperate, I'll go back and be a PA.
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 4:You know it's, it's a very unforgiving job.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 4:You know you're treated terribly honestly as a PA.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:And it's one of my least favorite positions to do on set. But I will definitely do it. If a friend comes to me and say we can't find anybody, can you please come help?
Speaker 2:Um, you know, but has there been, then, that one person that's helped to catapult you the most?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean definitely. I mean Andy Dillon, you know, you know the stunt coordinator that I've worked with on several stuff. You know, without him I wouldn't have gotten five nights at Freddy's.
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 4:So yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, thank you, andy Dillon. Yeah Right, thank you.
Speaker 4:He's actually from Rockville, maryland, as well.
Speaker 3:Oh wow, rockville, Where's, where's home now oh cool Yep In the seventh floor.
Speaker 4:Wow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 4:It's the other LA.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 5:It's called the other LA.
Speaker 1:All right, nice Nice.
Speaker 4:Yeah, which is, I think, perfect for me for starting out my career, because it's you know, I'm a dime a dozen in Atlanta. There's a ton of girls that look like me. Better stunt performers more experience, so it'd be harder for me in Atlanta, la I wouldn't even be thought of. Uh, I'm sorry, la, I would never be thought of, but Atlanta, I'm a dime a dozen, you know which makes sense because so much An incredible amount of filming happens in Georgia.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, Just so much. I mean at the end of every other show you're just going to peaches.
Speaker 1:Yeah, everywhere Walking dead was down there.
Speaker 5:It seems like the movie industry went to Louisiana, though when the COVID hit it seemed to me like a lot of film went to.
Speaker 4:Louisiana. Yeah, what Sean was saying is that, um, he thought that a lot of film is in Louisiana during COVID and that was because of our tax credit. So a lot of times what the studios do is they go and they find these tax credits and like, right now, kentucky has a really great tax credit, about 40%. So what it is is, like, you know, you, you want to get local crew, because that means more money back on your production, so they follow these tax credits, and then Georgia was a state that had those tax credits and then eventually they went away. But they've got their roots there. And so, uh, new Orleans we just renewed our tax credit, um, and this summer we all went to the, the state house there, and we did a project and we did a production for them, we showed them. We set Tim Bell, who's a an amazing stunt coordinator that I've worked with as well and he's been teaching me some stuff we set him on fire.
Speaker 4:And we showed the the you know, the voters there that we, you know we really need these jobs and it doesn't just impact the studios and packs the community and um, yeah, and we got the tax credit extended.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Well, clearly I mean, if you didn't, you'd burn them all. Yeah Right.
Speaker 3:And that was always uh on on the podcast a lot of these older movies that we look at. When you look at these eighties movies when they would set somebody on the fire and it looked like they got 300 pounds. You look, why are they so big?
Speaker 1:And they were like uh yeah, speaking of that, I wanted to ask you so being behind the scenes now and and movies and stuff does that change your perception when you go to see something you weren't involved with? Could you go to a movie and just watch it Now? Do you go and feel like you're analyzing it more, like I know how they did that or I I bet you they did this, or do you just still just?
Speaker 4:get lost. Yeah, sometimes, okay, it's mostly I start analyzing the stuff that I've been on. Oh yeah, oh yeah, that was that. Oh yeah, that was that rigging that we did and oh, that turned out really good. And oh yeah, oh, they did it on this take. I see why the director did it on this take. You know stuff like that, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Curious when you're dressed up as Chica.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:How do they mic that so, as coming from the you know audio, audio visual side, how is that miced? Is it a boom over top? Is it mics inside? Do you have to just do you have to change your voice Like, how does it all?
Speaker 4:So, chica, the animatronics didn't have any voices. The only one that did was Foxy.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 4:And Foxy was a full puppet and a full animatronic, if you will, but it was. Puppeteers were moving the hands and the feet. Foxy was attached to it, what we call a camera jib, which would move forward backwards, up and down. So that was Foxy, but he had the only vocals for the animatronics. Okay, but yeah, it was. I know that the boom. I couldn't see anything, so I know the boom operator. He was there on set, so I don't know, probably not cause those heads were quite loud.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:On the inside.
Speaker 2:So that was a follow up question I had. So as a the stunt person as well, you're you said look, you're going to get bruised, you're going to get hurt. Yeah, seeing how, again, the dynamic of those, those costumes, I mean that couldn't have been comfortable in and out you. I mean you had to have something chafing or rubbing or heart and bruising by the end of the day.
Speaker 4:Yeah, definitely it was, but I have, you know, my stump pads. So we have these things that are kind of. They're like I don't know how to describe them they're like gel, almost okay but not like a normal gel. I think I've seen them.
Speaker 3:Well, look, when I shoot like, um, yeah, a gel pad type that you would get for like a support or something, yeah, kind of but it's like these big squares, so yeah yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think I've seen them for people who have amputated limbs, and it's like that what they put in between.
Speaker 3:When they put on the yeah they do the sock. But yeah, it's like a cushion gel that they put to help cushion it okay.
Speaker 4:So that's the closest thing I can think of. But yeah, I definitely had. I'm wearing this backpack where the batteries were attached to and that's where I had to do it, because it was like really cutting into my Um clavicle area sure, and I think you're also saying it was so hot that the training for that you said you had to uh well, I trained because I didn't know what to you know what to expect.
Speaker 4:This is my first suit performance and the two other animatronics that they got, Jade and Kevin they you know their old school guys and they've been doing this for years. Kevin's actually done suit performing before. He was like Rob the robot silent Bob in Jane's Silent Bob.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, yeah, and he was um he's done.
Speaker 4:The League of Distinguished Gentlemen. Gentlemen, yeah, extraordinary. That's it, yeah, sean Connelly, yeah he was the um, I guess the hide, you know when he in the yeah, we would change. Yeah, yeah, that he was damn Him, and so they knew.
Speaker 4:So he's an older, an older guy, yeah, yeah and Kevin sorry, they are older, you know, gentlemen and so I didn't know what to expect. So when I you know what got asked for this, I was like, all right, well, we're filling in Louisiana, I don't want to get heat stroke. So I started every day for three months going to the sauna. It's an infrared sauna, gets up to about 145 150 degrees, and I did for 45 minutes a day, um, and then I started doing cold plunges as well, which helped a lot, because I did get bruised, um, practicing a stunt and it hurt pretty bad, but the cold plunged helped with that. But yeah, so that helped me and I worked out two hours a day in the gym.
Speaker 3:Nice you were. You were in like great shape, oh my god.
Speaker 4:And then the strike happened and I was like well, I guess I don't need to work out.
Speaker 3:Oh, what is your, yeah, what is your take on AI and all this stuff with with the writer's strikes and honestly, it's From my experience, just even working on set the, the, the studios will take advantage of you.
Speaker 4:Any chance they can. They're just greedy, they're very very greedy Um, and they don't care about people. They don't. They really don't. Wherever they can take a dollar and they'll take a dollar. Wherever they can use somebody, they'll use somebody. So this was really to protect us and I agree I haven't seen the verbiage that's come out, but basically, you know, the studios wanted to scan somebody, pay them 75 bucks and say cool, thank you 30 years from now. We can still use you and you don't get a say in it.
Speaker 3:We just we just learned that we had Patrick O'Brien Dempsey yeah, from the movie miracle. He was just the sexiest man alive.
Speaker 1:Did you see that?
Speaker 2:Different Patrick different.
Speaker 3:Oh, there I go unprepared again. Damn it, my bad, my bad.
Speaker 1:So you can tell we're old, because I always go to lover boy in like old 80s like uh, have you seen that movie, patrick Dempsey?
Speaker 3:Oh, it's great. Yeah, lover, what was the other?
Speaker 1:one, uh, can't buy me love can't buy me love yeah another good one, yeah, but uh, he was talking about AI and all that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was saying how, like you said, they can take somebody's image, or something they use before and just use it and not have to give you a call and not have to let you know Exactly, yeah, next thing you know you're on like a commercial for really Feeding hungry children.
Speaker 1:When did I do that? Yeah, that's, that's terrible.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so in that, suit is there uh, you know again. It's hot, it's terrible, it's whatever. Is there like a safe word? Just curious. So we had like I'm fucking dying over here, man Well, we had agreed.
Speaker 3:That's not the safe word.
Speaker 4:We had agreed that it was supposed to be 15 to 20 minutes heads on and then heads off. We get a break. Okay, and we did stick to that at first. But between the three of us, we would say, we made an agreement that if any one of us gave any one of us a signal, heads were off immediately, because you have to, as a super former, which I have learned- Sure like Kevin told me this, but I saw it in my experience. You have to advocate for yourself. Nobody's gonna advocate for you Nobody can feel the pain that you're feeling.
Speaker 4:Nobody can feel how hot you are, you know, and you do push yourself, you go, I can do it, I can do it. And that was the thing, too, what I didn't realize that when I started doing the cold plunge, it was teaching me discipline and made me push myself a little bit further. Be like, all right, two more minutes, I can do this, yeah oh, I forgot.
Speaker 3:Oh, I did see that. Yeah, didn't you make a plane?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I did Into the.
Speaker 3:Potomac, or yeah, tell us about that.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, um, we'll come back to the suit stuff, but yeah, no, no, no, we're good, we're good, we can carry on. This is pretty flowing here.
Speaker 4:I totally forgot about that.
Speaker 2:Thanks, yeah off the rails.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so yeah, it was gosh. Oh, I was working at CNN at the time and my co-worker, scott, was like hey, I want to enter this uh red bull thing. We built a plane and you fly it off platform and you land in the Potomac. I'm like, okay, again, everything you know from hanging out with my brother Sean, like let's do it.
Speaker 3:So were you on? Were you actually the one that flew it?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I was the one that flew it. So we built it and you know it. We used metal, we use aluminum, we're using fiberglass, we're using, you know, it looked great and I've never flown anything in my entire life, so I'm like I don't know. So we had discussed, okay, you know, uh, when you get in there, just put your tail up, you know. And that, eventually, is what caused me to, like, not go as far.
Speaker 3:And it made me like stall out. So yeah, did you run with the thing?
Speaker 4:or was it a push it? Yeah, we built a cart, okay, so it's. This platform was, I think, 50 feet.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've seen it on the red. They have it like commercials for it and stuff all the time, because these people are just going like Straight down. Yeah.
Speaker 4:I wasn't, so it was about 50 feet above the Potomac around this platform and we built this cart and with the cart we um had a break on it. So the theory was that the Uh aircraft or whatever glider was a glider. We had this little platform for me to stand on and I'm hanging on to this metal pole, this aluminum pole, and I had you know for my little tail.
Speaker 4:Do my little flapper, and so we're on this cart. They're running as fast as they can, and as soon as they get close to the edge they pull the break so that the plane keeps going.
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay, or the glider and so it keeps gliding.
Speaker 4:And then I pulled the tail because I thought I started dipping and I should have waited. And then that's when I stalled and went straight down, straight down, oh man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just seen videos for that and it just looked. It looked like a blast, I mean yeah it was so much fun, so much fun.
Speaker 4:I did uh, I think I did it like a week before my wedding. So the potential of breaking a leg.
Speaker 3:Like whatever.
Speaker 4:I don't care.
Speaker 3:So like what, yeah, what do you do? Um like, what do you do for fun, like in your spare time, like any uh Playing instrument Do you? Yeah?
Speaker 4:you know I've I've been trying to pick up random hobbies and I tried to pick up the bass for a while and it just didn't stick, slap in the base, yeah. Yeah, um, but now honestly it's just Kind of working out. Okay you know, like I said, I picked up boxing. That's a lot of fun. Um Gonna pick up jiu-jitsu here soon, taking acting classes. It's just right now. I'm focused on more on my career Okay and learning more skill sets to make me more marketable.
Speaker 2:Nice, yeah, you got him All right, yeah. So I'm curious yeah, did you get? What did you receive as compensation for that red bull fail, like do you get a year's worth of red bull? Like how does that work?
Speaker 4:if you win.
Speaker 3:Um. You have to like glide the farthest.
Speaker 4:I see I can't remember what the winning you? I think there was money involved.
Speaker 2:It was a consolation prize, like showing up prize.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't, I mean dude, check it out on, like on youtube, like you'll see that some of these people create these things and, like you just see them go like headfirst.
Speaker 5:There's yeah, there's the budget on it, like there are max you could spend.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there was a max. Yeah, I think you could only spend two, two thousand sponsors and stuff. Yeah, yeah we ended up getting sponsors and you had to get so many likes and stuff like that. It was a really great experience, sure, and it was a fun, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 3:I love to try something I want to do the running of the bulls for my 50th in.
Speaker 1:Pamplona.
Speaker 3:Yeah that's my 50th birthday present to myself.
Speaker 1:That sounds terrible. Why would you want to do it so late in life? You won't be fast. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:I don't know my family's like I don't know. It's like the Spanish thing.
Speaker 1:My mom was like you should do it.
Speaker 3:It's like, okay, I'll try it, if you ask me to go.
Speaker 4:I'd be like okay.
Speaker 3:That's what I mean. It sounds like. It sounds like something I don't know. I just want to say I did it. I don't know because you wear like that white outfit.
Speaker 1:Can you get mad in some stunts Maybe?
Speaker 3:sounds like he's down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna try it.
Speaker 2:Secretly, I'm gonna feed Viagra to each one of those bulls.
Speaker 3:It didn't even make sense. Sure, it does, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 5:When it's happening, it'll make sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's like it's happening, it's happening. So back to movies. Your brother was telling me you're Howard the duck thing. Yeah which is kind of a that was before your time. But how'd you come across that movie and oh god, I don't know Arrels.
Speaker 5:Yeah, somehow we ended up with it on tape.
Speaker 1:Oh, like VHS, howard, the duck yeah.
Speaker 4:No, no, I think that was a full suit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I'm gonna ask you because that that's funny that you said you liked that movie. Yeah.
Speaker 3:So it was the little person in the suit.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Oh, that hadn't been hot because that's yeah, you're talking the 80s for that right, yeah, yeah so I had some fun facts about how hard to duck.
Speaker 3:That'd be cool.
Speaker 1:There we go, yeah this is what we usually do on the when we do vintage cinema. So budget on that movie was like 30 Between 30 and 37 million. Only made 38 million at the box office, so it was kind of a dud at the box, but it's done well. After the fact, called classic.
Speaker 1:George Lucas had built Skywalker Ranch around that time and like 50 million dollars into that thing, right. So he was hoping with this movie that he would make his money back to kind of cover that. You know what it means he had all that. He's like oh, this movie won't make money and get it back. Well, it didn't happen, obviously. So Steve Jobs stepped in it was a good friend of him at the time and said, hey, uh, this little CGI company you created at the time, I'll buy it off you. And he actually gave him like a good amount of money for it. Didn't try to, like you know, undercut him on or anything like that. He ended up selling it to him to recoup some of the money. And that went on to become Pixar Yep, which I thought was pretty interesting. Yeah and uh, yeah, I just thought it was a cool little fun fact about how hard to duck, but I remember seeing that as a kid that came out like 86. I think it was They'd profit over what they spent.
Speaker 5:Like yeah, worth it. Like because they made a million on it, right.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that was an 80s, yeah it wasn't a great profit. Right, yeah, we talk about that all the time at zaps up line. I mean, that's just simple math.
Speaker 2:Juice worth the squeeze. The juice is worth the squeeze if I make back what I paid. All right, so I broke even. But anything other than that, all right.
Speaker 1:That's profit, right as long as you're not losing money, yeah, you're good to go. That's right. Your brother was telling me you did a little project with Stallone or you were involved in something with Stallone.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it was just recently. We got a During the strike. Any independent films could go. What basically it means is that it's not getting funded by the studios, it's privately funded, or another studio, smaller studio, that's not part of the, the amptp uh, could get a Intram agreement, and so this movie got an interim agreement. It was with Stallone, it was called armored Um. I don't know if it will come out, but we'll see.
Speaker 3:We'll see. That's cool. Just saw the thing on Netflix with him was pretty good.
Speaker 1:I just saw it and I didn't watch it, yeah, but yeah, I did see it up there.
Speaker 2:So that is a fun fact in and of itself. It is amazing it would likely blow your mind relative to how many movies are made and are never released. I mean, there's just this, like I just envisioned, this magical Scrooge McDuck size vault with all of these countless, countless, hundreds of thousands of films in there, which is true that are just never released.
Speaker 3:That's the same like music also. There's tons of music out there.
Speaker 2:Same concept, exact same concept.
Speaker 4:Yeah this one, yeah, yeah, armored is. We think what's gonna happen is get released over in Asia because Stallone's such a big.
Speaker 3:CS yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that was a interesting movie, for sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so what? What? So when you say like a big, you know big star, hitter likes Stallone? And so now, as you're again consistently moving up the ranks here in your, your professional career here, what is what's next? And I mean by that like, what do you want to do next? Ideally, if I could do anything, it would be you know the titanic remake and I'm playing. You know what's her name, or whatever.
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, I, I don't know. I never think of what's next. I just think of you know where. What can I do next? I guess you know it's like what is available to me, got it? You know? In a dream world, yeah, you know I'd be acting and doing stunts and having great time.
Speaker 2:So do you put yourself out there, like I know, there's a ton of stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there's gotta be a hustle. Yeah, there's gotta be a hustle, there has to be a hustle.
Speaker 2:Go out and apply, I see, stuff for commercial work, or movie short shorts or whatever television shows, anything. Are you just madly applying for that?
Speaker 4:So right now I don't have an agent, and that I guess that would be what's next for me is I gotta get an agent.
Speaker 5:Okay.
Speaker 4:And the agent is the one that would be doing that. But, yeah, there is a lot of hustle because you, it's about relationships, it's about you know people getting to know you. It is about skill, don't get me wrong, but it is a lot about knowing people.
Speaker 3:Sure Is that what you were saying too In Louisiana, compared to like LA or Atlanta, or how about New York? What's is it?
Speaker 4:New York is a tough one too. Is it a tough one too? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Beth, like mostly, probably like what Broadway and stuff in New York and I don't.
Speaker 1:I'd imagine New York they probably don't like the film as much air. It's probably so expensive, right, like the film there and stuff. Cause a couple of the movies that we covered that were supposed to take place in New York, like American Psycho, they went to Canada and filmed in Vancouver because I guess, yeah, vancouver is a big spot too.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:And Vancouver, that same thing. They got tax credits, tax incentives, you know, and they changed all the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, make it worth your while New.
Speaker 3:Mexico was big for filming a while back too. Breaking back yeah.
Speaker 1:So with Five Nights at Freddy's, I heard like a rumor that Matthew Lillard had said in an interview he signed like a three-picture deal. So do you know, is there a chance there'll be more of these?
Speaker 4:Like, are you, are you?
Speaker 4:definitely so the way it works is that when a studio does a franchise, they will do their top cast, usually like the top, you know five or 10 cast members. They will go and sign, you know, give them contracts. So it helps, it protects the actors but it also protects the studio. So they can't say like this be like oh, my God, you know, look, it's breaking records. Now, if you want me in it, you got to pay me you know X amount of money. But now it's like agreed upon and it's in the contract. It states it's like okay, well, if it hits this number, you know you're paying for the next one will be the, you know. So it protects everybody. So they do that and they say, okay, there'll be, you know, in this case, three pictures. So they haven't signed that. But it doesn't mean that they'll actually be another film.
Speaker 4:So, it's all on box office numbers budget.
Speaker 3:Which is doing well. So I mean it's yeah, it's trending.
Speaker 4:Emma actually came out and stated that there will be a second one. She was the director of the first one. So they're working on it. My contacts at Henson. I've talked to them and they're working on stuff, but it doesn't mean that I get to be Chica again, so it is entirely up to the director I got you.
Speaker 3:How was Henson? I heard that you got a chance to go to California. No, no, no, no, no, no. The Henson Creature Shop.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so I yeah, I got to do my fitting at the Jim Henson Creature Shop in gosh. It's outside of LA Sacramento, I think or I can't remember exactly, but yeah, it was amazing. I'm like play cool, play cool, play cool. But inside I'm like oh my God, that's.
Speaker 3:Oscar the Grouch. Yeah, that would be neat. They have like the actual like yeah in fact, yeah, they have like the dinosaurs.
Speaker 4:They had one of the original guy, one of the original. I think they're Skeksi, I can't pronounce it, but from a Dark Crystal, dark Crystal, oh wow, yeah, like they had like all this stuff and I'm just, I'm really losing my mind.
Speaker 3:That sounds really cool.
Speaker 4:I'm like oh, this is real cool guys. It's cool, but yeah, inside I'm like oh.
Speaker 3:That's why, yeah, like labyrinth, those little.
Speaker 1:Did he do the never ending story, that creature, and that was at Hensland, you know? Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know about that one either. You don't talk about that. Yeah, so Atreus was the kid. The name of the white flying Cocker Spaniel was oh God Falcor. Falcor, thank you. Oh, there you go, Thank you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I didn't know if he was involved in that.
Speaker 4:I don't know. Yeah, he was involved in Cube From the oh the movie from the early 90s.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was like Not gleaming.
Speaker 2:Not gleaming the Cube With the Christmas later. No, no the.
Speaker 4:Cube is where they put all those people in a Cube.
Speaker 1:Yes, it was like a thriller. Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 4:If you look in the back of the box it says the Jim.
Speaker 1:Hennessey Okay.
Speaker 3:Oh, for real, I got to check out this Cube. I remember seeing it like like she said, it's been a while Like it was maybe mid to late 90s.
Speaker 1:I can't remember?
Speaker 4:Yeah, it was sometime in the 90s. But yeah, they remade it.
Speaker 3:So you're beginning to like the vintage-R then. Yeah very cool, very cool.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I definitely have watched my fair share of older movies that people are like what is that?
Speaker 1:Yes, like old school hardy, like, like, like cheesy horror, like, yeah, like killer clowns from outer space. That one, sean, he used to terrorize me with that movie. That's a great movie.
Speaker 4:He put it on all the time. I hated it.
Speaker 3:And what was uh?
Speaker 4:He would tell me to go down and climb down a strain the drains. He'd be like the clown's down there.
Speaker 1:From it. Yeah, pennywise, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:Pennywise.
Speaker 4:I meant For sure. Yeah he's like Jess. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:I thought the one they had on TV was better than the movie. Oh, with the, the miniseries that was on TV, who's that guy? The original one? Yes, the original one, john.
Speaker 2:Boy from the Waltons.
Speaker 3:Yes, who played?
Speaker 4:Pennywise in that.
Speaker 2:Richard Thomas was the oh Tim Curry, tim Curry yeah, See that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's good stuff you knew one wasn't bad, but it's not the other one no for me.
Speaker 1:I like the old school horror. I'm a big fan of old horror movies like that as well.
Speaker 3:What is your? What is your favorite you? I mean, it's hard Like they ask us that too Like what is your favorite? Like horror movie, but what is up there for you?
Speaker 4:God, I really like a lot of them. I mean Gremlins, obviously, but oh, yeah. Do you remember Trolls?
Speaker 5:Yes. Oh yeah, I like that one.
Speaker 4:That was cheesy.
Speaker 3:Is that the one Jennifer Aniston was in? No, that's Leprechaun. Leprechaun was good too, yeah.
Speaker 4:I remember the corn scene and I'm like why would you get it? That stuff is green.
Speaker 3:Don't do that. Yeah, you don't need to do that.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'll give you a really good old school cheesy horror movie when it's just called basket case, oh, basket case.
Speaker 4:Oh, I haven't seen that one.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's great, you'll appreciate the special effects and stuff, but they made three of them, I think A bit of under to do list.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly when you're not boxing we're.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I've been training and acting and everything else.
Speaker 4:Well, yeah, I put. When I go to the gym I usually put something on.
Speaker 3:Okay, oh, okay, cool, cool Remember they used to be big at like Gold's gym. I think remember they had like the movie studio place.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, anybody that used to go to Gold's back in the theater.
Speaker 4:Yeah the theater. I'm like what the hell do you need a theater? I got in there.
Speaker 3:I was like I get it.
Speaker 4:I get it. Sean was on the wanted list for ballies. They would call him and be like he died.
Speaker 5:Remember when they would have like they would call each other there and they would teach you on the membership payment plan.
Speaker 1:Right, right.
Speaker 5:They would just call in the house. Oh my, gosh yeah.
Speaker 4:So we ended up just telling him sorry, he died, he was like why? He's 17? He was like yeah, it was cancer.
Speaker 3:Oh jeez, they do make it so hard. You guys went hardcore yeah.
Speaker 2:Anything you do to get him to stop calling?
Speaker 3:Just to stop charging you. There's that, yeah.
Speaker 2:So filming for this movie was. I was filming for five nights at Fridays was X number of days. How many days were you there of the, let's say, total filming days? Like were you there every day?
Speaker 4:There was one day or two that I wasn't there, but it was very rare Right. The first two weeks of shooting we were in rehearsal. So it was four weeks of rehearsal and, I believe, eight weeks of shooting.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 4:And so the rehearsal we really needed because we were Jim Henson Creature Shop was perfecting the costumes, making sure that they were work, or like watching them. We were able to rehearse some stunts in there and say, oh well, this didn't work, this didn't feel right, so we needed that time. It gave them practice of helping us dress, it gave us time to get dressed, so we needed that time. And also perfecting the walks and the movements and all that stuff. So that happened during those four weeks. So for the first two weeks we were in rehearsal. Maybe it wasn't the first two weeks, maybe it was the first week, but out of all the shooting I was like maybe one day or two that I wasn't, but we were there every day.
Speaker 2:I would imagine like, given this particular role, like you're one of the bad guys.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's you know, you're there, You're one of the, the, the torments.
Speaker 3:You just have to be there. Yeah, we have like the moves like a good guy, bad guy. So we've.
Speaker 2:I mean so we've done a bad. We've covered movies before where they have a lead or a quasi lead or a very popular actor or actress will show up. They're there for a day, they're in and out, they get their parts done and they're in and out. This was obviously a hell of a lot more than yeah it was.
Speaker 4:We were there, even if they didn't use us, which was very rare. We were there on set in our bottoms and that was like our feet and a leg portion.
Speaker 3:Without the heavy head. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got a break from the head, Thank God.
Speaker 4:But you know, and so sometimes I would be in my the top half of it, you know, like the big part, because I was cold. But yeah, we were there every day.
Speaker 5:So you guys weren't out in the parking lot. No.
Speaker 4:Well, they didn't yeah. Yeah, they were very protective. I mean, these suits were like hundreds and thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1:So you couldn't take them home, so I know.
Speaker 2:Henson Studios isn't cheap, man. Yeah right, they're not cheap.
Speaker 4:I wanted that cupcake.
Speaker 3:That would have been cool. Oh, the cupcake is cool. That's going to be a top seller.
Speaker 1:I think this year he could have did a ton of TikToks, like going to a convenience store. Well, I wanted to be like, yeah, I wanted to.
Speaker 4:yeah, I wanted to go on my little Amelie adventure with Carl cupcakes called Carl. Okay, I wanted to go on my Amelie adventure with Carl.
Speaker 1:Would have been good promotion. You know, go around.
Speaker 4:Sure, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Yeah, definitely, that's okay. So I was looking here at the like we always talk budget and stuff. So budget, according to the internet, who knows, was around 20 million and it made 251.9.
Speaker 2:So yeah, that's a great return Very great.
Speaker 4:You're doing well. Good job, blumhouse.
Speaker 3:The juice was worth the squeeze For sure. Oh, is that a Blumhouse picture?
Speaker 1:It is yeah, okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you see in the beginning. Yes, that little scene they have Very cool.
Speaker 1:So I liked that this movie. Like and you said you can relate to, with our ages we grew up going to Chuck E Cheese and all that and stuff like that, and this movie is based on the video game, which kind of reminds me of Chuck E Cheese. The character in the whole 100% yeah, so I wrote down some cool stuff about Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 3:My sister got lost to Chuck E Cheese. Oh, for real, yeah, like in the balls we were like no we didn't know where it, like Murley had the little cheesy part that they got rid of. It was like the Swiss cheese stuff like underneath, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Back in our day, I'll start with Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 4:Okay, but it was.
Speaker 2:I promise you it was far different.
Speaker 1:Back in, like the, 80s, yeah, astrays and stuff. So BYOB, chuck E Cheese Dark in there it was absolutely dark.
Speaker 2:I'll put that down Scary Like, and you could crawl underneath the stuff you crawl underneath the stage and there were little portholes, look like bubbles, where you could the parents, if in case they were curious, they could see where their kid was. Otherwise they're, you know, eating pizza. Do whatever, nowadays, it's all bright and lit and sunshiny. No, back then it was dark and creepy and cool.
Speaker 3:It's still a little bit like I think, kids are getting stabbed in Chuck E Cheese the ones around here.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's correct I mean.
Speaker 3:think about it.
Speaker 1:It's not a good spot Think about your immune system was from Chuck E Cheese, like all the germs in there and all that, oh my.
Speaker 3:God, but anyway, yeah, my like, our parents left. I think this other kid was like with us and thought it was my sister and we were out going towards the car and, like my mom turns around, it's like where's my other kid.
Speaker 1:Where's the other kid?
Speaker 5:That would be scary I was cool. I was like, let's go, she's good.
Speaker 1:Oh, for real. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 5:She's almost six foot tall, so she fit the. Oh yeah, she is tall.
Speaker 3:Like your, your Chuck E Go, get in there.
Speaker 4:She's like, I guess.
Speaker 3:Is that extra pay, though, like if you're the main character?
Speaker 4:Okay, thank you. I'm looking forward to doing some other stuff. Chica was about seven foot tall, holy moly.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, so they really were like I thought that was just like uh, they were just like panning up to show Wow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you're standing on at least a foot of a riser, and then your hand is no, that's how big the head was.
Speaker 4:I had it was like I was wearing these foam feet and inside the feet were sneakers that were attached, so so there wasn't much left there, but it was all pretty much the head yeah.
Speaker 2:That's cool, god damn. Yeah, so that was an Instagram. Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So you were, I was definitely.
Speaker 4:I looked like um, I look like a Buzz Lightyear.
Speaker 1:Kind of like hold, now I'm in next to my tiny little head, I'll show you. Okay, some other.
Speaker 2:Like.
Speaker 4:Beetlejuice. Oh I definitely was doing like I'm wearing a little jacket, Like Chris Farley.
Speaker 5:Fat guy.
Speaker 2:A little fat guy.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I said that to myself a lot.
Speaker 1:That's why Chuck E Cheese, yeah. So I wanted to say that yeah, sorry, sorry. Back to that. Did you know that it was founded in 1977 by the co-founder of Atari, nolan Bushnell? So it was a little side project, but actually it was like his passion, that's what he wanted to do Start this. So he started out on the West Coast and then, uh, when he sold franchises, you know, or to the middle of the country, they started show biz. Pizza time was the other one. It was like all connected.
Speaker 2:I remember show biz pizza.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a connection to Atari video games. Chuck E Cheese, you know what?
Speaker 4:I mean, it all comes full circle almost in this movie.
Speaker 1:So I thought that was pretty cool. And the other thing, uh, spoiler alert if you haven't seen the movie yet, you might want to turn this off. But in the movie we find out near the end that Matthew Lillert you find out he's the bad- guy oh, why did you?
Speaker 3:Oh, come on, Sorry. Well, we have to say spoiler alert. Nobody ever listens to that, though she's a spoiler alert.
Speaker 1:She told me something, though that that, uh, I didn't even catch because I was, I was thinking, in the movie scream. I'm like, oh, I should have known Matthew Lillert's going to be the bad guy at the end. And then you know, you're like I was going to pop out but you were saying there was something that he did that was an ode to the movie Sorry Another spoiler alert.
Speaker 3:Spoiler alert.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he uh, he has a knife to kill someone. The way he wipes the knife is the way he wipes it and scream.
Speaker 3:Oh, with his uh daughter. That part Okay, so yeah. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Yeah, when he nikes the daughter and he wipes it off, it's a scream yeah, yeah, see, cool, cool. That's a fun fact.
Speaker 1:It is. Yeah, I didn't want to ruin that for any. If you haven't seen the movie yet and you're a fan and you're you know you, probably you should have.
Speaker 3:If you're a fan, probably. Yeah, you saw four times right.
Speaker 1:Four times at the theater, like that one guy.
Speaker 5:Um.
Speaker 4:I'm not sure it's. You know, we filming was really short so we started in like December, february, Um, and we filmed until April 3rd. From April I'm like picture wrapped April 3rd editing process. Everything was done before October 26th. So that that's a short time.
Speaker 3:It's a very short yeah, boom, boom, boom yeah.
Speaker 1:So what's the temperature down there? Like in Louisiana around that time, was it like? Is it hot? It's still hot even then. Okay, yeah.
Speaker 4:I wasn't sure. It's like right before I left to come here. It was like 86.
Speaker 5:Oh, wow, yeah.
Speaker 4:And that's, you know, typical winter weather.
Speaker 1:So one other thing I want to ask you is this is PG 13 and that there are some people that say, oh, they could make, should have made a little more violent, like maybe maybe made a rated R. I guess the game I haven't played the game I saw like gameplay of people playing on YouTube that they were saying they could have made it a little bit more violent, but I guess that you got. There's a fine line with that because you don't want to eliminate a big part of your audience, right? So, and then with marketing and everything else like that, yeah, I wasn't part of that decision, Um, but there were.
Speaker 4:there were some really violent stuff in the script that we just kind of toned it down. Yeah, it was like the when the guys break into the pizzeria. Bonnie who has a guitar was supposed to like shish kebab guy. Lift the guitar up, falls down the guitar Okay. Um, but it just I don't know if it was a practical thing that they couldn't do in time.
Speaker 3:So that's not only that editing room floor or anything like that.
Speaker 4:No, that got completely cut from the script.
Speaker 2:Well, shucks, yeah, that's a shame you think.
Speaker 3:You think as the series, like you said, as it goes on, they might get an R rating for maybe the next one.
Speaker 4:I don't know. Yeah, it's up to the studio and the director for that. Yeah, I would think that they probably want to keep it. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because you're you know you're eliminating a lot of the audience.
Speaker 2:Not to say.
Speaker 1:I know I snuck in a rated R movie. Well, they didn't really care back then. Right, we talked about Zab. You were what? 12 when you got in there.
Speaker 2:My first, my first R rated movie was coming to America. First R rated movie in the theater was coming to America. That came out 87.
Speaker 3:So 11. Yeah, my Randy Watson shirt on today.
Speaker 2:I don't even even remember what I saw. I saw it, that's cool.
Speaker 4:I mean, you know, Sean over here at six.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah. Well, I have an older brother who's five years older, and I know he introduced me a lot of stuff. I probably shouldn't have been seeing him, but I remember Nightmare on Elm Street was 84.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, I remember that. You watched that a lot. I remember that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I was 84. I'm eight years old and my brother is like you know. He checked this out. Well, I slept on his floor in his room for like four or five days. You know what I mean. So when you have an older sibling like that introduce, you know what I mean Definitely.
Speaker 3:That's where I would see, like on HBO, going to my baby. Well, my baby said we caught her in Joyce, but she you know we'd be over there all the time. But her son, me were the same age but when he had sleepovers they had HBO. So at night we'd all sneak down because his older brother, tony, was like four or five years older than us. So that's where we see all these movies, like what?
Speaker 5:Yeah, just good times. You definitely remember the original HBO, how it had a box and it's just like a button you pushed on it.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 5:You put your TV on channel three the old cable box yeah.
Speaker 3:The black box and it had. Is that the one that had the round dial?
Speaker 1:Well, I had one like that early on. It was a dial, and then they went to the Super TV.
Speaker 3:Super.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right, right. Then they had the Scientific Atlantica cable boxes.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Gerald communique, or was it, I forget.
Speaker 3:Gerardo yeah.
Speaker 1:Gerardo, yeah, he sang.
Speaker 2:Yeah, rico, suave yeah.
Speaker 1:Guys got any other questions about the movie, anything else we missed.
Speaker 3:Not just a. Yeah, it's a fun movie. Yeah, Check it out. Honestly, my kids thought it was great. My eight year old was still. She had a little bit of a problem with it.
Speaker 4:What part, what scary part was it? I don't.
Speaker 3:I think where there was the kid.
Speaker 4:Abby.
Speaker 3:No, not the little girl One of the five. Oh, the ghost children, the ghost children yeah, the one he liked and like, his eyes started bleeding.
Speaker 4:Oh, okay, yeah. And um yeah, I don't, I don't remember. You know we call that part.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, Apparently, yeah, my eight year old daughter was like I'm going to go upstairs now, I'll watch it one day time, and I'm like all right, she was out. Yeah, Clint's all like get out of here.
Speaker 5:You're ruining it. Yeah, stop it. She was upstairs wiping her eyes. Exactly.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was just a little bit that scared her.
Speaker 4:Well, that's a little Easter egg. Joffie L she plays the ghost girl with the long blonde hair. She's supposed to be the ghost chica. That is Jade, who plays Bonnie. That's his daughter.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow, okay.
Speaker 4:His son is also Raphael loose, who plays young Vecna in Stranger Things.
Speaker 1:Oh, nice, nice.
Speaker 3:Stranger Things is good. Yeah, stranger Things is good, stranger Things is fantastic.
Speaker 2:So I got one last one, but it's a loaded one. I just want you to go off on it. The topic of Comic-Cons. So you had mentioned during this you know little get together that you definitely need to get an agent. You need to need an agent for that next level stuff In Comic-Cons. Do you get a hold of them, or do they get a hold of you?
Speaker 4:So I do have an appearance agent, so that's different. So I'm looking for I need to get a casting agent and that's my next step. And I've been talking to some people and looking at you know what I want to do. But, yeah, I have an appearance agent and so my agent, he, you, yeah, they can reach out to him and then he does it. But mostly he's been going around. He's like oh, I think you're going to do great here, here, here and here, and so he's the one that's been doing that.
Speaker 2:That's awesome, and I guess the follow up to that is do you have more Comic-Cons in your future?
Speaker 4:Yeah, well, I've been doing a lot of horror shows. The first Comic-Con that I did as a guest was I'm sorry, I use the term interchangeably.
Speaker 2:I just think of anything where people are going to come in some sort of cosplay and get all together, be it a horror theme be it video games be it comic books, be it movies.
Speaker 4:Right, so the next one I am is next weekend. I'm flying to Chicago, nice, it's Days of the Dead of Chicago.
Speaker 1:Oh nice, that's awesome. Maybe she saw the guy from Fright Night. See, there, the guy plays the vampire in Fright Night. We just did Fright Night. I saw him at a couple of these conventions.

Speaker 4:Yeah, he's that my agent. He's what? What client of my agent Gosh?
Speaker 1:Bruce Campbell. I imagine he's a big, oh yeah he's another one, dave the guy that did the, the guy from the movie or the guy that did the?
Speaker 4:Yeah, the actual were rough guy they were both. Okay, um Gosh, now. Now I feel terrible because I'm like wait.

Speaker 4:Justin Timberlake on Palmer yeah.
Speaker 5:I work with Fisher.
Speaker 4:Stevens yeah, oh god yeah for real. Yeah scandalous.
Speaker 1:Yes, oh my goodness, I just watch a good movie with him reptile on Netflix episode. It's him and it just came out like me.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's where he's like a real estate agent. Yeah, I haven't.
Speaker 1:I saw that that was really good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like it was like that murder mystery type thing and they were taking the pictures.
Speaker 1:But then, like, remember people were spoiler alert, I'm gonna now. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah he was really good in that movie about 10 years ago alpha dog. Alpha dog was really good. That was a pretty cool movie yeah but oh yeah, back to.
Speaker 1:I wanted to say I really liked that you guys in that movie that just actually animatronics and not CGI. Yeah because, as an, like I said, like old-school horror, and you American world with made me think of that.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I love it so much when those special effects were done like that with makeup artists and Amatronics and different you know different stuff. I don't like that CGI stuff.
Speaker 3:That's why I like Fright Night so much. Is that had really cool like old-school.
Speaker 5:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:Just like a special effects.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, everything was practical. There wasn't well like there was a CGI moment. The cupcake when he's attacking the leg, the electrical volts that you see, that's CGI right. And there's. Cgi when you know you see the legs drop.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm. Yeah, you have to use it here and there a little bit If you have the technology to do it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it was they. They shot that scene, the leg drop scene, they shot this scene. They didn't get what they wanted, so they had to come back and do it, and they didn't have time to call the Maxine stunt double in. So they asked me to step in, and so the person putting down the chair and the feet, that's me.
Speaker 1:Oh nice.
Speaker 4:And then when you see the legs go up, that's me. That's cool yeah and then when you see the legs go down, that's actually Jade next time I watch it.
Speaker 3:I know her yeah.
Speaker 4:I know her oh.
Speaker 5:I know those hands.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's a lot of legs.
Speaker 5:Yeah yeah, that was like an evil dead. We're accredited.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we just did Evil Dead. I review and remember that that had the same issue. On the first Evil Dead they went and there was a lot of scenes they had to reshoot and they couldn't get people, so they would film them from the waist down and it was like you know, the one scene was a girl walking around with like boots on and jeans.
Speaker 2:It's supposed to be the sure anybody can wear pants right? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like we just need to get this scene and stuff.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that happens a lot, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:I just have a what would be your dream vacation.
Speaker 4:Oh, hmm, I Used to think it would be go into a beach and just kind of relaxing, but that's because I fill my day with so much stuff that like just any type of relaxation. It's good Like. This is my first day off in Like two or three months.
Speaker 3:Awesome. Thanks for spending it with us. Yeah, thanks for sharing it with us yeah.
Speaker 2:I feel honored, so I guess a better way to phrase that would be your five nights at and leave it.

Speaker 4:you know, tool came back around. I missed yeah, I'm nice twice I've missed their shows twice, I would love to go.

Speaker 3:Yeah, there's like the fenced in areas to park.
Speaker 4:No. No fenced in areas. It was like all street parking and a homeless guy would be like five bucks to park here and if you said no, he'd put a trash can through your windshield.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, that's how use. When we were down at the preakness Down in Maryland yeah, I think the guy was like yo, you parking my yard or your car won't be here. Like we went down to the preakness horse race, I was in pinnacle, maryland 25 years.
Speaker 3:I think I saw in saying clownpasta at 930 club. There's sprained faggot 20 or 19 or something maybe even younger. Wow yeah, so I went to go see at 930 club.
