MEDIA DAY NEXT WEDNESDAY, SO BE SURE TO JOIN US FOR LIVE IN THE D AT 11, A.M. JASON AND GREG. I
BET THEY WERE LIKE MOST
AFFORDABLE, MOST ECONOMICAL,
SUPPOSED CHEAPEST HANDFUL OF
MOVIES TO TALK ABOUT TODAY, BUT
ONCE AGAIN, NONE OF THEM
EXPECTED TO BE BLOCKBUSTERS. IN
FACT, THE BIGGEST NEW MOVIE
THAT’S OUT MAYBE STREAMING MOVIE
REVIEWER. GREAT RUSSELL JOINS US
FOR REAL TALK. HEY, GREG, JASON.
SO LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT MAY BE
THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF THE WEEK.
IT’S ON DISNEY, PLUS THE LIVE
ACTION VERSION OF PINOCCHIO WITH
TOM HANKS, RIGHT, IT’S A
RETELLING OF THE STORY. WE ALL
KNOW, BUT LIKE YOU SAID LIVE
ACTION, AND TOM HANKS ALWAYS
JUST MAKES THINGS BETTER. BUT
IT’S A STORY ABOUT HOW HE WANTS
A SON. AND SO HE MAKES HIS OWN
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A FAIRY
COMES DOWN. AND TURNS THE
PUPPET. INTO LIFE. ALRIGHT,
WE’RE LOOKING AT THAT VERY THING
HAPPENING FOR THE FIRST TIME.
HE’S ISN’T HE FREAKS OTHERS.
JIMINY CRICKET. I GOTTA NOT TO
BE A PARTY POOPER. BUT I JUST
YOU KNOW THERE’S NO APPEAL HERE
FOR ME OTHER THAN KIND OF SEEING
THAT SCENE WITH TOM HANKS,
APATOW, NOT REALLY INTO IT. IT’S
MORE SO I MEAN AGAIN. IT’S FOR
THE KIDS, BUT ONE THING THEY
NEED TO DO IS ALMOST CLOSE TO
TWO HOURS. OH, MY GOODNESS IT
DOWN LIKE WE SEE MOST KIDS
MOVIES ARE 90 MINUTES. HOW MANY
REELS FOR THIS? WE GAVE IT A
FOUR. BUT THERE’S ONE THING THAT
IS MISSING FROM IT WILL TELL YOU
ABOUT IT LATER. WHY NOT NOW? I
CAN’T THAT BE A BIGGEST. ALRIGHT
NEXT UP THE TRILOGY INSTALLMENT
OF THE CLERKS SERIES. THIS IS
THE THIRD OUTING FROM KEVIN
SMITH. AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
CULT CLASSIC THINGS IF YOU KNOW,
YOU KNOW, RIGHT, AND KEVIN
DEFINITELY KNOWS. I GOT TO TALK
WITH HIM ABOUT THIS MOVIE, AND
HE TALKED ABOUT JUST WHAT IT WAS
ABOUT, AND ALSO ABOUT LIFE. HERE
WE GO. THIS JUST HAD TO BE LIKE
THE BEST FAMILY TYPE REUNION
WITH YOU AND EVERYBODY GETTING
TOGETHER. I MEAN, TALK A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THAT. JUST GETTING
EVERYBODY ON THE SET. IT WAS AN
ABSOLUTE GOOD TIME. LIKE, UH, WE
STARTED SHOOTING ON MY 51ST
BIRTHDAY. SO UM, I GOT TO BE
BACK WHERE I STARTED MY CAREER
AND AT THE SAME STORE THAT I
USED TO WORK AT WHEN I WAS A KID
AND DREAM ABOUT WHAT MY FUTURE
WOULD BE LIKE, UM, SO IF I WAS
EVER BOUND FOR, LIKE A MIDLIFE
CRISIS, I THINK I AM AMELIORATED
COMPLETELY. UM WITH THIS FANTASY
CAMP OF A SHOOT, YOU KNOW, I
USED TO READ ABOUT PEOPLE PAY
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GO ICE
SKATE WITH WAYNE GRETZKY GET ON
THE ICE, BUT THEIR HERO AND
STUFF, FANTASY CAMP TYPE STUFF.
PEOPLE DO IT. BASEBALL PLAYERS.
THIS WAS MY VERSION OF IT. BUT
MY FANCY CAMP DIDN’T INVOLVE
ANYONE ELSE. IT WAS LIKE, LET’S
GO BACK. LET’S GO BACK TO WHERE
IT ALL BEGAN. LET’S GO BACK TO
THE PAST. LET’S DO A RESET.
LET’S TELL A STORY. THAT TELLS
THE STORY OF OUR LIVES. YOU
KNOW, IT’S NOT JUST OUR
CHARACTERS. IT’S ME AS WELL. SO
IT WAS BLISS GOT TO DO WITH
FRIENDS THAT I’VE BEEN MAKING
THINGS WITH. FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS
, BRIAN AND JEFF JASON, MARYLAND
, THESE WERE THE CO ARCHITECTS
OF MY ENTIRE FUTURE. I MADE
CLERKS WITH THEM AND BEING BACK
IN NEW JERSEY AT THE QUICK STOP.
MAKING IT WITH THEM AGAIN YEARS
LATER, SOMETIMES STANDING IN THE
SAME PLACE IS INSANE. THE SAME
THINGS WE DID 29 YEARS PRIOR.
OKAY I GOT TO THINK THAT ALL
THOSE PEOPLE HE NAME CHECKED.
WHO ARE HIM? PROBABLY BEGGING
HIM TO MAKE MORE OF THESE CAN
HAVE AN INCOME. BUT HOW MANY
RULES I THINK I GAVE THIS 1 TO
3.5 OR FOUR AS FAR AS THE CLERKS
MOVIE. IF YOU DIDN’T SEE THE
FIRST ONE OR THE SECOND ONE, YOU
PROBABLY WON’T SEE THIS ONE ON
ITS OWN, BECAUSE YOU’D HAVE TO
SEE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHAT’S
GOING ON. AND THE JAY AND SILENT
BOB STRIKE BACK. THAT WAS AN
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MOVIE. BUT
SAME YEAH. CHARACTERS YEAH. ALL
RIGHT. NOW WE HAVE BRUCE WILLIS
AND KEVIN DILLON TEAMING UP FOR
AN ACTION FLICK. WE KNOW THE
STORY ABOUT HOW BRUCE WILLIS
WILL BE ON THE POSTER, BUT HE’S
ONLY IN THE MOVIE FOR, LIKE,
FIVE MINUTES. IS THIS ONE OF
THOSE BECAUSE THIS IS
UNFORTUNATELY, BRUCE’S LAST
MOVIE? UH AND IT’S ALL ABOUT
THIS GUY, KEVIN DILLON. HE PLAYS
GOVERNMENT AGENT WHO GOES INTO
THIS ROOM WHERE HE’S GOT TO STOP
THESE PEOPLE FROM WANTING TO
BLOW UP THE WORLD. AND I MADE
THE JOKE WITH KEVIN BECAUSE I
INTERVIEWED HIM A MONTH AGO
WHERE AGAIN HE WAS IN A HIGH
RISE BUILDING, TALKING TO
COMPUTER SCREENS, AND HERE’S
WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT DOING
THAT. AND I WAS JUST THINKING
ABOUT THE LAST TIME WE DID TALK
TO EACH OTHER. YOU’RE IN A HIGH
RISE YOUR BEHIND COMPUTER
SCREENS, AND ALL TYPES OF WEIRD
STUFF IS GOING ON THIS ONE. I’M
THINKING, KEV. WHAT IS IT ABOUT
MOVIES IN HIGH RISES WITH
COMPUTER SCREENS FOR YOU, BUT
KNOW THIS. THIS IS A LOT OF FUN.
YEAH I MEAN, THERE IS A SOME
SIMILARITIES, RIGHT? AT LEAST
THIS TIME. I WASN’T STUCK IN A
SEAT. THE HOT SHEET. KIND OF
LIMITED MY MOVEMENT. I WAS ABLE
TO WALK AROUND THE ROOM AND THIS
ONE RIGHT THERE. THERE ARE THOSE
SIMILARITIES AND THEY WERE ALSO
SEVEN DAYS SHOOTS BOTH OF THEM.
OH SO ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE,
REALLY, BUT I AM SO HAPPY THE
WAY THIS TURNED OUT AND LOOKS
GREAT IT IT MOVES AND, UH THE
ACTING IS REALLY SOLID. THEY’RE
BOTH OF THESE MOVIES ARE GREAT,
AND THEY THEY’RE COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT DESCRIPTION DIFFERENT
MHM, BUT THE SITUATION FOR THE
ACTOR YOU KNOW, ACTING WITH THE
SCREEN. YOU KNOW YOU DON’T
THERE’S NOTHING ON THAT SCREEN
IS A BLANK SCREEN. YOU GOTTA USE
YOUR IMAGINATION AGAIN. YOU’RE
NOT ACTING WITH OTHER ACTORS THE
ROLE ON THE PHONE, SO IT’S KIND
OF TRICKY. IT’S A TRICKY THING
TO DO AS AN ACTOR. IT’S GOT TO
BE SO MUCH FUN AND THRILL AS AN
ADULT AND AS AN ACTOR TO
SOMEWHAT, YOU KNOW, LIVE OUT
SOME OF THOSE SITUATIONS THAT
YOU MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT. AS
A KID. I DOUBT IT IS FUN, AND
I’VE DONE A BUNCH OF WAR MOVIES
AND A LOT OF COOL ACTION MOVIES
AND AT ONE STAGE AS I’M DOING A
FIREFIGHT, I’M WE’RE SHOOTING IT
OUT WITH THESE GUYS AND I LOOK
OVER AND THERE’S BRUCE WILLIS
RIGHT NEXT TO ME, LIKE LOOK AT
THAT. WHAT AM I DOING? THIS IS
SO COOL RIGHT HERE. I’M GONNA
SHOOT OUT. ME AND BRUCE TAKING
OUT THE BAD GUYS. SO THIS WOULD
BE ON, UM, ASSUMING ON THE LEVEL
OF US STRAIGHT TO DVD STRAIGHT
TO VIDEO TYPE OF THING. OH,
BUDGET. THEY SAID THEY SHOT IT
IN SEVEN DAYS. HOW MUCH DO WE
SEE A BRUCE WILLIS IN THE MOVIE
ACTUALLY SEE MINUTES, MAYBE 15
OR SO LIKE THAT, BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY KEVIN IS THE STAR. SO
HE IS THE MAIN ONE. AND BRUCE
WILL COME IN FROM TIME TO TIME.
BUT HE IS ON LONGER AT THE END.
ALL RIGHT. COOL HOW MANY REELS
THREE. BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID,
IT’S THE NICE LITTLE MIDDLE
POPCORN TYPE MOVIE. ALRIGHT
FINALLY, A HORROR THRILLER
CALLED BARBARIAN, WHICH IS BASED
HERE IN DETROIT. AND WE’RE
GETTING INTO THAT TIME OF YEAR
WHEN I FEEL LIKE WE WILL BE
SEEING A LOT OF THESE TYPES OF
MOVIES, THIS ONE DEALS WITH A
YOUNG LADY WHO COMES TO DETROIT
FOR A JOB INTERVIEW. SHE RENTS
AN AIRBNB. SHE GETS THERE AT
NIGHT. AND SHE DOESN’T REALIZE
THAT SHE ISN’T EXACTLY LIKE THE
GREATEST PLACE UNTIL THE NEXT
MORNING WHEN IT’S SUNSHINE. ALSO
A GUY HAD ALREADY CHECKED IN, SO
THEY WIND UP. HE STAYS IN THE
BEDROOM. SHE SLEEPS ON THE COUCH
NEXT MORNING, SHE GOES UP FOR AN
INTERVIEW COMES BACK. HE’S
DISAPPEARED, AND A LOT OF OTHER
WEIRD THINGS HAPPEN. HERE WE GO.
YOU GO SOMEPLACE AND YOU LOOK
LIKE IN THE BROCHURE AND
SOMETHING LOOKS LIKE YOU KNOW,
SOME FABULOUS PLACE AND YOU GET
THERE. IT’S LIKE THIS ISN’T
WORKING IT KIND OF LIKE WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOUR CHARACTER. I
MEAN, SOON AS SHE WALKED IN THE
DOOR OR FINALLY GOT IN. IT’S
LIKE SOMETHING’S UP HERE, ISN’T
IT? YEAH I REALLY LOVED THE
SEQUENCE WHERE SHE GOES OUTSIDE
THE HOUSE AND IT’S DAYLIGHT, AND
SHE GETS TO SEE IT ALL THE
HOUSES AROUND AND THERE’S THAT
KIND OF GOT THE POWERS AND
YOU’RE LIKE, OH, MY GOD! WHERE
ON EARTH AM I? I THOUGHT THAT
WAS GREAT. AND THEN EVEN
THINKING ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER,
JUSTIN. WHEN WE FIRST MET HIM,
HE’S HAPPY, SMILING.
EVERYTHING’S GOOD FOR, LIKE,
FIVE MINUTES LESS. YEAH 15
SECONDS. UM YEAH, HE GETS TO BE
HAPPY FOR ABOUT 50 HOUR. I LOVE
THAT SONG TO THAT DONOVAN SONG.
I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO STOP
LISTENING TO IT SINCE WE SHOT
RIKKI TIKKI TAVI. UH YEAH, IT’S
IT ALL GOES DOWNHILL VERY, VERY
FAST. UM, IT’S IT WAS, WHICH IS
FUN TO DO. OF THE MOVIE COULD
HAVE GONE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD
HAVE DONE. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE
CHARACTER WOULD HAVE DONE, BUT
THE WAY IT’S WRITTEN, HE, UM HE
GETS HE GETS KIND OF CAPTURED BY
THIS THING DOWN THERE. WAIT SO
IT’S HARD TO TALK ABOUT GREG.
THAT’S WHY WE’RE ALL KIND OF
GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES. SO YOU
HAD ON AN ORANGE AT RIGHT, RIGHT
? YES. I CAN CONFIRM HE DOES
WEAR A HAT. HA! OKAY. SO FROM
BRUCE WILLIS TO JUSTIN LONG THE
TWO OF THEM WERE IN LIVE FREE OR
DIE HARD BACK YOU GO. HOW MANY
REELS 3.5 AND DEFINITELY SEE
