let's get to realtalk this Friday with
Greg Russell thanks so much for being
here thank you for having me as always
movies to talk about today and we'll
start with mile 22 with Mark Wahlberg
yeah
action-packed movie and like I'd even
mentioned last week no not a sequel to
eight miles but we all know how much
Mark loves Detroit I had an opportunity
to sit down and talk with him and some
of the other cast members and here's
what they had to say about the film
because of that we of course have
something special for you since you are
our favorite Detroiters thank you sir
uh-huh love that we love the D thank you
sir you got appreciate absolutely and I
know everybody in Detroit's gonna love
seeing this movie too it's just so good
one
yeah how I mean just action right from
the very beginning yeah you know it's
one of those things where Pete and I
we've made this is our fourth movie
together but the first three we're all
based on true events and tragedies and
so for us to just say okay those are
very very difficult movies to make and
they're way heavy on you so let's just
go and have our version of fun like you
said other movies that you especially
mark it done together we're based off of
us a true story or something but in this
one yeah I was looking to take a break
from real stories
I saw the raid the raid - I fell in love
with this gentleman and they did I play
with you when plenty talk about action
stuff so you know I want to bring this
action stuff more reality like a bigger
speed doesn't like fate one so me and
feels like same visions and missions we
we had an immense amount of training
beforehand it was rare and amazing to
have that we were training with Navy
SEALs we had a lot of consultants on the
film from the field and from tangental
fields I think like a lot of the
technology displayed in the film is one
of the more interesting parts of like
you know you yeah it's like it's
possible that all these things exist but
to see them all like working and
conjunction with each other for like a
common goal like that and you just see
how it's called overwatch for
like it really seems like they hope they
watch over everything so what you guys
are experiencing was a lot of what we
were experiencing while we were shooting
in which is which is you couldn't ask
for more
when I tell you I love a good exciting
offer like this I love it
you will action Oh tons right from
beginning to end
okay so first let's get to this action
on your phone right here together well
you saw I gave mark you know the t-shirt
during the interview and he was very
happy and a lot of times you know when
you give a celebrity something you
wonder oops there we go you know if
they're going to actually take it or
give it away I'm sitting outside the
hotel after the interview I hear
somebody go Greg Greg and I look over
and it's him holding the t-shirt up in
front going I love Detroit I love I say
can I come over and take a picture with
you holding my shirt yes what a great
moment so what do you think about this
movie I'm excited to see it it's fun
it's fun like we said yeah mile 22
we're gonna go to 4 I just got our
leader Mark Wahlberg very good up next
we have crazy rich Asians which is
actually creating a lot of buzz every
blog I'm on is talking about the
significance of this movie in mainstream
culture one way or another what do you
think right well like they said this is
the first movie with primarily all Asian
cast I mean I think since Crouching
Tiger Hidden Dragon you know and that
was like 20-some years ago right and I
even someone was saying from the Joy
Luck Club but yeah that even that was
even further back from watching Tiger
Hidden Dragon so I mean the whole
premise is funny to people you know they
meet here
this young lady falls in love with a guy
thinking regular guy says I want you to
meet my parents they live you know
overseas she goes over there to find out
his parents are crazy rich I mean
they're like Mark Zuckerberg Bill Gates
rich and also he is like the number-one
hottie of the country so she's got a
fight that's like I shouldn't just stay
at home but yeah it'll be a fun movie so
yeah go check it out for sure I feel
like this is gonna turn into a cult
classic great see we'll see all right so

which speaking of crazy rich Asians I've
got some crazy rich agent stuff
