Meet Chris Hoyt, an Oklahoma filmmaker whose journey from small-town roots to successful writer, producer, and director reveals how determination and recognizing unexpected opportunities can build a creative career outside traditional Hollywood paths.<br><br>Chris pulls back the curtain on his evolution from marketing professional to filmmaker, sharing the pivotal moment when a chance role as an extra in "The Killer Inside Me" opened doors to a world where he would eventually write and produce the popular "Jurassic Pet" franchise. "I don't want to get so hyper-focused waiting for that one door to open that I don't realize the side one just opened," he reflects, offering wisdom about career flexibility that resonates far beyond the film industry.<br><br>What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Chris's commitment to building a filmmaking career while remaining in Oklahoma. Despite the common belief that success requires relocating to Los Angeles, he's found creative and commercial success by embracing local talent and resources. "I've had people say, 'Are you gonna move to LA?' I'm like, 'No, thanks. We can make anything here,'" he states with conviction, highlighting the growing opportunities in regional film markets.<br><br>The most touching moments come when Chris shares stories about the impact his films have had – like receiving a letter from a mother whose medically fragile son found joy in "Jurassic Pet," giving the family rare moments of normalcy. These poignant examples remind us that entertainment creates meaningful connections that extend far beyond the screen.<br><br>Whether you're a film enthusiast, an aspiring creator, or simply curious about how movies get made outside the studio system, Chris's journey offers valuable insights about perseverance, creative problem-solving, and the power of telling stories that matter. Tune in to discover how independent filmmaking is thriving in unexpected places and changing lives along the way.

A bad one. That's why I started creating. I used to put in for movies and get small parts, but then I just realized it wasn't that good. I was more creative. It actually made me a better actor though.

Speaker 3

I visited the studio.

Speaker 5

It's a very nice office space. Thank you Pretty cool.

Speaker 2

That's where you write and come up with movies or what.

Speaker 8

Yeah, pretty much we all share the office space we don't really rent. We don't have a studio space, we just rent it as we need it. So it's really cool because we're all in kind of different offices yelling at each other and then we all conglomerate and just bounce ideas off of each other. It's really cool.

Speaker 6

That's awesome.

Speaker 5

Yeah, and so I met Chris when I got cast in Jurassic Pet 3. Jp3. So Chris is known for the Jurassic Pet movies. Yeah, jp3.

Speaker 6

He had that tattoo.

Speaker 5

What else? Dinosaur World, Ooh.

Speaker 2

I like the dinosaurs. Is that one Were you in?

Speaker 5

Dinosaur. World. No, no, oh no, I just did my research. Oh yeah, yeah, no, I just did my research.

Speaker 8

Oh yeah, yeah I wrote Dinosaur World, which was interesting because it was a remake, pretty much for the Chinese market, of the Jurassic Games.

Speaker 6

Oh how funny.

Speaker 8

Okay, because it wouldn't pass censorship.

Speaker 6

Jurassic Games wouldn't pass censorship.

Speaker 8

Mm-hmm Huh.

Speaker 2

Interesting. Where can we watch that?

Speaker 8

All the streaming services pretty much has everything that I've worked on, that I believe. Sometimes they're on the free streamers, so let's do better.

Speaker 6

Was Chris where we got our excellent selection of scary movies.

Speaker 7

Yes.

Speaker 6

Yeah, I love those yes.

Speaker 8

Great.

Speaker 5

They have been fantastic.

Speaker 8

Those low-budget movies is kind of what got us started. They're my favorite.

Speaker 5

Our favorite so far is Alien Party Crashers. Heck yeah there are so many I haven't seen it. It sucks because I don't remember the lines, but I remember us watching it going oh my, we're going to be using these we did for a couple weeks.

Speaker 6

We quoted that movie all the time and then finally it was like oh, there's only six people who actually know, what we're talking about.

Speaker 5

Yeah, and maybe they weren't super funny, but they were just ridiculous.

Speaker 2

They were great. Where'd you get these?

Speaker 8

His collection so I have his shelf. So we have another partner, a silent partner out of state, and that's kind of how we started making movies. He was our sales agent and some of those movies we've worked on, some of them we haven't, so I just had a whole bunch of them in my office.

Speaker 2

Nice Cool, nice Cool.

Speaker 8

Give away.

Speaker 2

Alien Party.

Speaker 6

Crashers really is one of my favorites.

Speaker 5

Yeah, I may have to watch it again.

Speaker 8

Well, it sounds like I need to watch it.

Speaker 5

period oh yeah, movie night, check it out. It's funny stuff, just watch.

Speaker 8

Well I'll tell you what I always tell people this story all the time. I've told my son this. I said you know, you were born at a time when this was before COVID, when every weekend there was a $200 million movie in the theater. I said when I was a kid, for every blockbuster there was a ton of low-budget, cringy movies, but my brother and I loved them, so we saw every single one we could.

Speaker 5

Do you remember when Donnie, our cousin, he would come visit and we would go and rent the B-rated horror?

Speaker 2

movies. He would find the weirdest movies you could find. So yeah, we did something similar.

Speaker 5

It was pretty funny.

Speaker 8

Some of those are the best. I mean, when I was in high school, we used to watch Evil Dead often yeah, I did not watch scary movies then.

Speaker 6

I was a big baby. I love scary movies. She was a big baby, I love scary movies she did see sinners, though.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that wasn't scary at all until dawn tonight or after no no, no, no.

Speaker 6

That was a video game that I was super excited to play.

Speaker 1

I was like. This seems kind of creepy and a little.

Speaker 7

No, it scared me the video game scared me so bad that I had to stop playing it. Oh, wow.

Speaker 6

You'll love it, I'll love it.

Speaker 2

I'll sleep like a baby, yeah.

Speaker 5

right up your alley, yeah. But Centers was awesome.

Speaker 2

I want to see that too. It's great. It was so good Two hours or so Over two hours.

Speaker 8

I was actually listening to NPR on the way to work and they do a thing called Fresh Air and they'll interview people and they had the director on. I think it was Friday. I was like, oh, this is pretty cool. Listen to his path.

Speaker 5

It was a good movie, very good, really enjoyed it and it's been a long time since we've gone to the movie theater and really enjoyed it. Enjoyed the movie. Last few Marvel movies we went to were just kind of.

Speaker 1

I mean.

Chris Hoyt's Background and Oklahoma Roots

Speaker 5

Deadpool and Wolverine was okay, but some of the other ones prior to that, oh my goodness.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 5

I haven't been to one in a while. I should have just waited.

Speaker 8

I'm going to say something blasphemous to a lot of people. Oh God, Saw Twisters yesterday for the Finally saw Twisters.

Speaker 2

You didn't like it I didn't like it.

Speaker 8

I, I didn't like it as much.

Speaker 2

I didn't.

Speaker 8

I mean, I know it was like oh, number one movie and everybody was going crazy, but I didn't feel, the characters didn't feel endearing to me. And at the same time I was like is this supposed to be a part two or a remake? Because it feels a lot like a remake.

Speaker 6

Oh, really, it was all the same tropes.

Speaker 8

It was just different, but not in a way I felt like I'm going to watch this movie again. I've seen the original Twister movie multiple times, oh, a billion times.

Speaker 6

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Speaker 8

It was just one of those movies I was like, oh, it's good and it's cool. I mean, a lot of hard work went into it, but it was just like go, I'm going to go to the theater and watch this movie. It's very rare that I feel that anymore, and it stinks, to tell you the truth.

Speaker 5

For what I do. We haven't even seen it.

Speaker 6

You haven't seen Twisters. I will not see Twisters, why Tornadoes are scary. It's got that cute guy in it, yeah, but I can watch him on anything else that he's in.

Speaker 8

That's fine movies do, though. I have family that lives out of state. They're very you know. They've never been to oklahoma and they think we have tornadoes daily, daily yeah, it's like a normal.

Speaker 6

Absolutely well, when my cousin moved here from san diego, she was like so we'll just be ready for tornadoes every time it rains and I'm like every time it rains no, no, it rains more often than in naters we might have forgot to warn them about the Saturday siren. Tell them about the noon on. Saturday. We were panicking running around. It's sunny though.

Speaker 5

And we had to really make it clear that the county is large. And if there's a tornado anywhere in the county that's going off.

Speaker 2

It doesn't mean it's right in your backyard right, yeah, right on top I live on the edge of this county, oh, miles away.

Speaker 8

I mean, it takes me 30 minutes to get here and yeah, it's like it's. You know there's one by norman, and the sirens go off.

Speaker 6

My kid and wife are heading for the yeah, yeah bunker and I'm watching the news it's exactly 35 miles away from us right now.

Speaker 2

I'm like I'll wait till it's about a mile away yeah that's just how we do it here we saw it moving the theater because my son's obsessed with tornadoes and it was like you, almost like, wanted that nostalgia feel from twister but yeah it wasn't there yeah, it was lacking a little and I think the other characters, like they're not from oklahoma well, it's not bill paxton well well, it's not bill paxton, I don't care.

Speaker 8

It had some great cinematography yeah that was very reminiscent of that but it's just like you know, when I, when I watch a movie you know I watch, stand by me. I saw that movie and I was at age and I can relate. And you know there's even even when I watch kid movies nowadays I'm kind of like, oh, you know, this is uh, this character drawing me in and I just didn't feel that on this, yeah, I know what you mean. At all, but it was fun. I mean, it was cool seeing El Reno downtown.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I was going to say El Reno looked cool because you drive through it all the time.

Speaker 8

I was down there while they were shooting it it was like their day off and I saw everything destroyed. That just massive they had this massive light panel that's held up by cranes and I'm like. That light panel is the entire budget of Jurassic Pet 3.

Speaker 7

Oh right.

Speaker 6

Was there a cow in the tornado in Twisters?

Speaker 8

I don't remember what they should have been, because that's like my. That's the iconic thing.

Speaker 6

When I think of Twister it's the one CGI shot of the cow and goes and like as it goes around.

Speaker 8

That's my favorite I mean, I would have been, I would have been happy if the brahm sign would have flowed. That would have been cool yeah just missed out.

Speaker 6

Yeah, really they should just have oklahomans, right, right, yeah, that movie and act in it. Let us, let us tell you what, what it's actually like.

Speaker 8

No, you have people on their lines or on the roofs right drinking and watching it. And it's actually like no, you have people on their lines or on their roofs drinking and watching it. And it's like, hey, honey, you gotta come see this.

Speaker 2

Look, look, look. It's getting closer. It's about to hit the school. Good thing it's Saturday.

Speaker 6

Then you got families fighting with each other on which meteorologist to watch yeah.

Speaker 5

It's always the super redneck guy that the news goes to.

Speaker 7

No teeth no bra.

Speaker 4

Yeah, man, goddamn thing, took my chicken coop, man All my chickens gone.

Speaker 8

If you find any of them, chickens, they're mine.

Speaker 5

You know how expensive them eggs are now? Yeah, a million dollars.

Speaker 6

So, Chris, are you from Oklahoma originally.

Speaker 8

I've lived here most of my life. I was born on Fort Ord Army Base, my dad was in the army, nice, and then I think we moved to oklahoma when I was about five cool, so I pretty much consider this my home state and my family that was living in california. Still they're like, oh, you sound like an oaky and you know blah, blah, blah. And I was like, yeah, I love it here. Um, I like you know me making movies. I've had a lot of people say, oh, you're starting to do things. Are you gonna move to la?

Speaker 2

oh yeah no, no thanks we can make anything here as far as I'm concerned firm hard pass I always think I don't like oklahoma until I travel and then I'm like well yeah, maybe it's not so bad, it's just the drivers here are horrible. Yeah, wow, that's true, that's but everything just seems slow and quiet, Not like go, go, go. It's cheaper. And you know what it's cheaper?

Speaker 5

I have found that, yes, drivers here are absolutely retarded. I'm going to say it. Oh hard.

Speaker 4

Yeah, look out, damn it, this is awful.

Speaker 8

My name is no longer Chris.

Speaker 5

Hoyt.

Speaker 8

I'm some other guy.

Speaker 6

Some other guy also named Chris Hoyt. That's so weird.

Speaker 5

No, I'm originally from Newark, but driving in Denver, I mean, and then Dallas, oh yeah. Dallas is horrible.

Speaker 8

I feel like you just have to match the aggression of Dallas drivers, and then Dallas.

Speaker 5

Oh yeah.

Speaker 6

Dallas is horrible, I mean. So I feel like you just have to match the aggression of Dallas drivers and then you're fine.

Speaker 5

But there's probably different levels of stupidity.

Speaker 8

But please use your blinkers, please. Oh God, don't Stop running green lights.

Speaker 2

Running green lights.

Speaker 8

I'm always like on the way my office is on the Northwest Expressway and I'm always like, okay, the light turned green One, two, three.

Speaker 7

Okay, now I can go.

Speaker 5

That Waiting.

Speaker 6

Oh yeah. Yeah, I can't, I don't want to be T-boned. Yeah, no kidding. So more or less grew up in Oklahoma, whereabouts.

Speaker 8

All over. So my dad got out of the Army and I think the first place we ended up with burns flat that's a choice, and it was. It was really. It was an old base there that got closed down. It's actually one of the longest airstrips in the country too that's cool so, um, with the kindergarten there, and then the boom went bust.

Speaker 8

That can't tell you how old I am. Everybody moved in one day, pretty much. I remember walking through the neighborhood and like, hey, there's my friends and I get home and I said every, it looks like everybody has got a u-haul at their house and my mom says, yeah, we're leaving, too pack up, oh wow so we went from geary to all right, sorry burns flat to sorry Burns Flat 2.

Speaker 8

I'm trying to remember now the order. I think it was outside of Hinton and then Geary, and then Altus, weatherford, thomas, cordell. I graduated high school in Cordell, which was I may be missing a town, but that was. Oh, thomas moved in Thomas for a little bit. So I went to nine different schools by the time I graduated high school. So I don't have any childhood friends. Pretty much I have high school friends. You were the new guy all the time.

Speaker 6

Yeah, that sucks.

Speaker 8

Permanent fixture and my wife was born and raised in the same town. She graduated there.

Speaker 6

Cordell Mm-hmm, that's cool.

Speaker 8

Did you meet there or did you meet later? We actually met in Cordell. My best friend his name was Jimmy was always like hey, I'm trying to, you know, date her Heidi's. My wife's name is Heidi and her sister's name is Heather, and there's Hillary and Haley.

Speaker 8

Oh wow he was like you know I like this Heather girl, I don't want to go by myself, so he dragged me along. I was a horrible wingman, so all my friends were always older than me. But so my brother was two years older than me and my other friends close friends were a year older than me. But I was kind of I'm a nerd, so I could have graduated with my brother. My mom wouldn't let me. Yeah, so I finished my last two years, you know my junior year with my other two friends, and then my senior year was just me oh, wow so, um, and then I did debate and she joined debate and we started hanging out and dating

Speaker 6

together debating together and we still debate, but well it's the cornerstone of your relationship.

Speaker 8

Yes, but um. After my freshman year of college, we got married oh so high school sweethearts and then we let's see. I went to southwestern university for a year and realized it wasn't a place for me really.

Speaker 1

Um, I was too I don't know, I always feel like too much of a free spirit or whatever.

Speaker 8

I was the hippie kid with all the cowboys, you know, I had long hair earrings played in a rock band. That's what all my buddies and I did we played in a band.

Speaker 6

That's cool Rocker.

Speaker 8

So took a year off, went to OU. We got married. She went to OU. We both graduated from there.

Speaker 6

That's awesome.

Speaker 8

Boomer, boomer, boomer. So we was living in Shawnee when we finally had a kid and she was like this kid's going to be born in Norman. So our doctor's was in Norman. So when the time come, the 3 o'clock in the morning, we stopped by Burger King to get some food because she thought she wouldn't be able to eat, and we drove to Norman Nice. I think we got there at six in the morning and he was born right before noon oh my gosh, just get it over with yep, so is he your only?

Speaker 6

yeah he is yeah, he's an only child.

Speaker 8

It's pretty rad yeah, I know, I know he gets lonely, but, um, just because of some medical issues, we were only. We were lucky to have him. Oh yeah, find out.

Speaker 6

So wow, that's even better how old is he now? He's 14 14 did I fight? Loneliness were you lonely as a only child no, I don't think I read it.

Speaker 2

I wanted to be an only child I was a middle.

Speaker 6

I was a middle and I still felt lonely at times I would bet middle kids felt feel more lonely than only children I'm a middle kid Are you kind of a middle yeah, you and Dan, yeah, yeah. Eric's the baby. You're the oldest. I would say Taylor's the most middle, because you were out of the house while they were really growing up.

Speaker 2

Yeah, Quite a bit older so.

Speaker 6

Dan really was the oldest for a while.

Speaker 7

I wish she was the only girl, though.

Speaker 5

So I wonder, if that helps.

Speaker 6

I think that hurts. Made a difference.

Speaker 8

I'll tell you, my brother and I were a year and a half apart.

Speaker 6

Oh yeah, and it's crazy Irish twins.

Speaker 8

So what happens is, you see I'm a baby, he's a little kid, and at some point we got to the same height height. My mom dressed us in the same clothes, just different colors, perfect. People thought we were twins. Um, then I have a sister that's four years younger than me. So my brother and I fought. We didn't really get along until probably high school and we had the same friends. But, um, and then, when I was 16, my mom we got remarried. I didn't, so I was. I have a sister that's like 16 years younger than me.

Speaker 8

Oh, that's odd that's fun so yeah, we didn't grow up together, so that's a whole other dynamic you don't like.

Speaker 6

I wonder if that's more like talk about yeah, that feels more like a like a niece or nephew, uncle type relationship with that kind of age difference yeah, it's weird, it's like I don't.

Speaker 8

You know, I feel like I don't really know her, you know, because we didn't grow up together and you know she probably looks at me as some old fart.

Speaker 5

Yeah I want to say, uh, a buddy of mine in the army, I was in the army. Um, he was the youngest and so he was my age, so we were both about 2021 and basic, and his dad was like 60 was like oldest.

Speaker 2

Yeah, something like I was like oh man.

Speaker 5

I don't know if I should be impressed or no.

Speaker 8

you're hoping like oh man, when I'm 60, I hope I can keep on going.

Speaker 6

No kidding, I hope I can make a baby.

Speaker 7

It's so exhausting having a kid though.

Speaker 2

I'm already tired. I'm not even close to 60. I can't imagine.

Speaker 8

Imagine that, no, I had a friend, I can't remember how many brothers and sisters, maybe one sister, a couple brothers. I thought he was an only child because he was so much, because they were so much older than he was, oh man, and we used to give him heck. It's like hey man, um, you don't look like your dad all that much, what's up, what the hired?

Speaker 6

hand looked like. Who's the milkman and cordell guys that was cool.

Speaker 8

His, his dad reminded me of red off of um, that 70s show.

Speaker 8

Yeah, when that show came out I called him up and said, dude, your dad is on tv, because he'd say stuff like that you're a dumb ass we'd sneak out at night he lived out in the country we'd walk like how many miles to town, tapping on the windows, getting girls out, and uh, when his, when his dad got ill and was on his deathbed. Um well, the first time this happened was because, legitimately, there was a meteor shower. We go to his, we go to his house to stay out the night out in the country and his mom forgets about us and locks us out. So we're like cool, let's go walk to town. So we started to do that periodically. But on his dad's deathbed he said I know what you and the hoit boys were doing oh no, the hoit boys but we're like oh man, we thought we were so cool.

Speaker 8

He said no, dad knew exactly what we were doing. I said you know, that makes sense now, because we'd be crawling in the window at sun up and then, like 30 minutes later, boom, boom, boom. Hey boys, breakfast is on, you know pretending like you just got, oh yeah like oh, I'm so well rested so now, deep down inside, yeah, I was like he was just doing that to be yeah, I'll show those guys boys man, that must be something to be.

Speaker 6

The white boys, I mean, we're the we're, dan and eric the olden boys.

Speaker 5

No, I don't think so, because they never got in trouble for shit yeah so they wouldn't be no, they didn't hang out together either.

Speaker 2

No, no like that age yeah like daniel and eric didn't like hang out. The same group of friends or hang out. That wasn't until we were all older.

Speaker 6

Then we all hung out with eric's I was about to say you hung out with eric's friends right, daniel and I both what helps in school.

Speaker 8

we all did really well in school, so I remember one time.

Speaker 7

Successful.

Speaker 8

We skipped. My friend Dave and I skipped. We're supposed to be going to a baseball game to watch. We left. We show up late. The principal's like my office first thing Monday. So we're like, okay, finally going to get it now. So we go to the office and he says, no, you guys are good, I just had to do that in front of all the other students.

Speaker 6

You guys never do anything, uh me and my best friend rana in high school. Rana rana, yeah, um, when we were in high school on like senior ditch day, we were like, oh my gosh, we're definitely in a ditch, we're straight a super dorks, super. And guess what we did on senior ditch day we went to school. We went to UCO to enroll in our classes.

Speaker 2

You are a nerd and we were so excited.

Speaker 7

We're going to college. Oh my lord.

Speaker 2

You don't want to know what I did on senior ditch day.

Speaker 5

No, tell us.

Speaker 6

I wasn't a rebel until I met this guy.

Speaker 8

I wasn't until my parents got divorced, to tell you the truth, because I moved to Thomas. I'm like 13 years old.

Speaker 6

And there's four people in that whole town.

Speaker 8

The stand by me came out and that was my crew. You know, we had a guy named Turtle Turtle. You know on sticks and Hawk or whatever, and I remember we'd go to the quick stop and one of them would be chatting up the girl at the front and everybody's filling pockets full of candy.

Speaker 8

We'd go to this big junk pile yard or whatever and there's this big gas tank, old gas tank with a hole cut in it kind of a thing. We'd go in there and we'd smoke cigars, read comic books and eat our stolen candy.

Speaker 6

Smoke cigars so hard, those ho-up boys go hard.

Speaker 8

Well, my brother wasn't even with me at that point. He had his own friends, but it was crazy.

Speaker 5

That's funny. Well, what we would do, I'd come out smelling like smoke.

Speaker 8

My mom's like were you smoking? No, I was at so-and-so's house.

Speaker 3

His parents chain smoked.

Speaker 5

We used to take some Dr Pepper pepper drink quite a bit of it, and then take dad's rum, pour in there and then put water in the rum, put that back and then we'd sneak out of the house and have a campfire and drink this rum and dr pepper. And then the time I did get caught was like the second time I'd snuck out with one of the neighborhood girls. I won't say their name on the podcast, but she still has a restraining order.

Speaker 5

Yeah, she does Nothing like that happened but I go back and I always went out my bedroom window, but it was locked.

Speaker 2

I was like oh, fuck, same thing they did to Eric.

Speaker 5

And then I was like, hmm, I we always hid like a key to the house outside. I grabbed it, tried to go in one door real quiet, I don't know why I didn't go around and try a side door or dad's office door. I went in the back so loud and then I'm coming in quiet Mom's like hello.

Speaker 2

Well, look how it is.

Speaker 5

Fuck. And then later dad was like I was glad to hear you were sneaking out with a girl.

Speaker 12

My boy.

Speaker 7

I never snuck out, but then that led to dad's birds and the bees talk.

Teenage Memories and Growing Up in Small Towns

Speaker 5

And I shut down after his first line and he says you know, once you blow your wad. And I was just like we're not doing this. We're not doing this, Like, oh my God, Okay.

Speaker 6

What was your birds on the bees talk? I didn't have one. I was going to say didn't need to, ever no.

Speaker 8

We had sex ed in school.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I wish we had that in like sixth grade or something.

Speaker 8

We had like the in school.

Speaker 6

Yeah, I wish we had that in like sixth grade or something. We had like the AIDS talk.

Speaker 8

No, we were the generation where the parents didn't want to talk to their kids, so let's have someone at school do it. That's making it real awkward for them at school, fifth grade.

Speaker 5

I remember that.

Speaker 2

We had to go through that. Was it fifth grade? Damn that's young.

Speaker 6

I feel like now it's sixth grade maybe Like we had the AIDS and STD, like terrible video that you had to watch and then you had to watch the video, like the girls had to watch the video about your changing body.

Speaker 2

You're going to have hair in different places. Like what If?

Speaker 5

you have unprotected sex you're getting gentle towards and here's a photo yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 3

Oh, my God.

Speaker 8

And going to hell.

Speaker 6

And you're going to hell you're on a center no, I went to public school.

Speaker 2

We didn't get to talk about that I remember that you could put random questions so that because if you're embarrassed before and someone was like can you get pregnant if you swallow it? They were all like you can't laugh, and we were like.

Speaker 7

So then on the on the teacher end of that.

Speaker 6

I taught seventh grade science for a million years and we had the aids curriculum that we had to like. It was like a scripted thing and we just had to get through it and a little bow, wow was the video super rad and like we play it.

Speaker 6

We play it for the first time and we're it's like all of us science teachers and all of the kids were in the library Like just shown it one time. Little bow out comes on the screen. I look over at my teacher friend. I was like she's like this is the new one and I'm like that guy's 80 right now.

Speaker 8

But I accidentally found my dad's Playboys that he had, I think from the 70s bush 70s, I guess I accidentally found my dad's playboys that he had, I think, from the 70s, and there's like there's nothing to see there oh, do you mean these?

Speaker 6

we'll pull those playboys out, uh, but then we, at the time kids were allowed to, you know, write in their their questions or whatever. Actually, no, this first year we didn't have them write questions, we let them ask questions we were real dumb and a kid one time asked so uh, if your papa girl's cherry? Oh no, does that blood have aids? Yes, yes it does it, does it, does it does Pupicles Chili. Does that blood have? Eights.

Speaker 8

That reminds me of Clerks. 2. Yeah, when they're at movies it's like you know, the gnome, what does he call it?

Speaker 2

Oh, the uh. What does he say? That's my fucking coochie. That's hanging out.

Speaker 6

Pretty much Probably. I just watched that the other day. Well then, I remember there was a kid when I was in eighth grade, this football player or whatever comes up to me. I did not talk to football players. I was super weird and he's like you got a fat pussy Asking me and I was like no, what, I don't have a cat, I have a cat.

Speaker 5

She's a reverse cat.

Speaker 6

I'm allergic to dad.

Speaker 5

We have dogs.

Speaker 8

Yeah he eats too much that's fun I'd say the most weird thing I ever had. I can't remember his fifth or sixth or seventh grade, I just remember I was living in altus into science class and I don't know what happened. We already had sex ed but somehow we got on this topic and then all of a sudden this teacher kind of went into her own world and talking about, before you know it, you're making bad decisions and you get pregnant.

Speaker 6

I mean, she went on for like an hour and she unpacked everything for you. Yeah, she must have had a bad night, or something.

Speaker 8

She did. And talking about, you know you don't want to get pregnant and give your kid up for adoption and so many years later you're wondering and we're all like I mean, it's just like she's kind of wandering around and like this and I felt sorry for her, but she's like in her own world, like it just totally snapped at that moment. Oh, no, and we're all looking at you like are we safe? It's like should we get help?

Speaker 6

You know, do we need to call the council?

Speaker 8

Yeah, we're like, should we get somebody at the office?

Speaker 2

She's having a meltdown.

Speaker 8

Then it's like the ring. You know, the bell rings and then she kind of snaps out of it. We're all just like you know, she's like oh fuck.

Speaker 6

I just said all that.

Speaker 8

That was weird.

Speaker 6

I hope y'all are good.

Speaker 8

That's the thing that was actually most traumatic to me. I was like I ain't ever getting a girl pregnant.

Speaker 6

That was scary.

Speaker 5

I think they did, didn't those videos also show a woman giving birth? Yes, yeah.

Speaker 2

Because that's like this is going to happen to your vagina if you have socks and there's a huge Splits open. Yeah, Bush, and we were like what it looks like that.

Speaker 8

And there's a chance your husband's never going to want to touch you again because you're totally grossed out. I had a friend that happened to the wife was like he won't touch me anymore.

Speaker 3

Oh, that's why you don't watch it. Yeah, she's got a big beaver.

Speaker 2

I didn't watch. They were like do you want a mirror? I was like hell no. Do you want a? Mirror. Do you kidding me?

Speaker 8

I don't want nightmares, right?

Speaker 6

No, I don't want to see it. I'm going to see this thing alien.

Speaker 8

I tell you what it was cool. Though my son was born, I gave him his first bath. That is kind of cool. That is cool Daniel pulled.

Speaker 6

Molly out Did he.

Speaker 2

She was like do you want to pull her out? He was like yeah, okay, here we go.

Speaker 3

I didn't know that.

Speaker 2

The baby's almost there, but he didn't have to glove up.

Speaker 6

He's like okay what do I do? I'm just glad he didn't pass out.

Speaker 2

He was a medic. I know that's true.

Speaker 8

Yeah, that was my birth experience, and anybody that listens that hasn't had kids yet. If you're going to have kids, buy lots of chocolate to take to the front desk for all the nurses.

Speaker 6

Oh, that's a good tip.

Speaker 8

And my wife is like like that was her idea, so, so every day I'd be like.

Speaker 5

This is from baby hoyt oh yeah, because I mean it's like and there's more in the room yeah, it's like buttering up the uh um the bartender at embassy suites at their uh managers happy hour show them a little I always show them a little boob yeah I slipped his left one.

Speaker 6

I give him a 20 boob.

Speaker 5

His left one. I'd give him a 20 and a nip.

Speaker 7

Yeah 20, nip. A good pour, or what? No, they'll just keep you don't have to get back in line.

Speaker 6

We got snowed in at an NBC Suites in Denver, and so then they extended the happy hour Because a ton of people were snowed in.

Speaker 8

Oh yeah, they're going to be spending and drinking, oh my God.

Speaker 6

Yeah, and so that's all anybody in the hotel could do. So we get to the hotel bar and we're going to eat down there and it is packed. Shane manages his way up there and gives the guy a 20. And a nip Gives the guy a 20 and he was like got it. And then we found a seat up at the bar. We didn't ever have an even half-empty drink. Wow, that dude man, Just 20 bucks. We were shway-steed.

Speaker 5

Yeah, because these other fuckers, they weren't tipping the dude.

Speaker 6

They were mad Like he made it snow oh.

Speaker 8

Oh, I did do that, maybe he did.

Speaker 6

He did.

Speaker 3

He did eyes evil genius

Speaker 6

so how did you get into what you do now?

Speaker 8

oh man, that's kind of a long story good gives her time hey it's fine

Speaker 8

it's pretty clean, but it's, uh, it's, it's. I think it's kind of interesting. So I mean I can go way back. I've always been interested in the arts. I like to draw, paint, that kind of thing. I did art all all through high school and I actually had a scholarship for art and then went for debate. But I also liked business and when it came to time to go to college I was like I'm never going to make any money in the arts.

Speaker 8

So I'm going to get a business degree because I've known a guy that had a record contract and people think, oh, I got a record deal. Well, sometimes you get a record deal just to be shelved, because they know that your competition against somebody they already got a lot of money in.

Speaker 6

Oh, I never thought about that, yeah.

Speaker 8

So I thought I'm going to get a marketing degree, kind of a general thing. So when I was in college my brother hit me up, him and a friend, david another guy namedid said hey, we're gonna do this public access show in norman. It was called the community access, I don't know if it's still around or not. So the three of us, we took their little training course and, um, they kind of hated us because everything was like you know, the learning to read hour, the gay lesbian hour, whatever it was.

Speaker 8

Ours was um a cross between kids in the hall saturday night live and robot chicken and robot chick didn't even exist.

Speaker 6

Oh, you were the og without even knowing.

Speaker 8

Wow so they absolutely hated us though, but because we'd always like we're gonna go shoot out in the field and things, um. So I was like, oh, we could pitch this comedy central, because comedy central, I've been around that long but everybody was graduating, my brother's, like now we're done, but uh, we actually shot some footage and this is probably going to send me to hell, but anyway, I had long hair, pretty hairless. Our deal was we were making fun of everybody and anybody. We had an email set up for hate mail specifically for hate mail.

Speaker 8

So kind of along the lines of Monty Python I'm actually. They put me on a cross and we glued a bunch of chest hair on, because I didn't have any chest hair and my brother and David they do the little Monty Python thing where they kind of put the cloth around their head and they're like they're women. And I'm doing really horrible pickup lines. While you're on the cross. Yes.

Speaker 6

That's excellent.

Speaker 8

So we have my wife here. She's going to be horrifiedified now, but she should know what we did this at the time, but uh shit it was stuff like um, oh man, um, hey, hey. You know more than one thing is gonna rise in three days and stuff like that you know, you know when you're in college and you're just like whatever, hey, baby.

Speaker 6

Before college, humor was a thing you know what looks good on you, me.

Speaker 8

You know that kind of stuff. But that never made it into the final episode because they absolutely hated us. They refused to do our reruns. So I hung out one day at the building. Someone came out you have to have a little pass card to get in there and I went downstairs in the basement. They didn't see me and I took the last copy that we had of the only episode. I mean it's, there's a, there's a. We did this fake sex line commercial because there's a guy calling the commercials like hey, let's actually shoot a commercial. So I had really long hair. I put my hair in pigtails. I bought my wife's red, sparkly bikini oh nice. Put on like horror makeup, yeah, nice. And then my brother does too. And we sit in this extremely large bathtub with bubbles and we start blowing bubbles and stuff.

Speaker 7

I mean it's like we need to talk to a counselor kind of thing, so it was a long.

Speaker 8

They absolutely hated us. So, yes, it was like monkey men in tool belts or something. I can't remember what it was.

Speaker 6

It's like an SNL skit. Yeah, that's great we got Kvasio. What was that guy? Were they in the bathroom? Yes, mike Myers.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 8

One of the skits was we did like a guy, you know, we kind of did a Star Trek episode. So we had a cardboard stand up of Captain Kirk Perfect. One of my friends thought it'd be hilarious for my 21st birthday if he got me a black blow up sex doll Nice. So she became Lieutenant Ahura. Perfect, it's really horrible.

Speaker 10

We're going to have a Dick Space tonight Dick Space, dick Space 69.

Speaker 8

It ends up with a shot where David is a captain of a, he stole the Enterprise and we cut to the very end. They're in bed smoking cigarettes Afterwards. That's fantastic. Yes, that's one way to say it was. That's fantastic. Absolutely. Yes, that's one way to say it. Yeah, but I watch it. Yeah, so I have a.

Speaker 8

Was I graduated, got in the business. I've been playing the guitar since I was 13. So I kind of had a side band going on. I'd always write music and then in 2010, they were making this movie called the Killer Inside Me. Then in 2010, they were making this movie called the killer inside me and they were shooting part of it in cordell. Well, that's cool. So we're like, oh, let's try out for an extra. My wife got a part, I didn't. So we go to cordell we were no longer living there and they do a um fitting. So my mom had a shop there. So I'm hanging out with my mom and my wife calls or texts me, says, hey, can you go get some markers? The ladies need some markers and you know, they don't know what an alco is or whatever.

Speaker 8

It's a little like a walmart or dollar general yeah so I ran and get them and I go inside and they're like, oh, what time's your fitting? I said, well, I tried out, but I didn't get it. So I take my picture, send it to the director.

Speaker 8

And they're like, yeah, put them in it oh nice so about a month later, when we're actually shooting, I had horned room glasses and stuff too, because it's like, hey, you got to find a way in to get more screen time, you know. So, um, me and the few guys that are there were standing in line. I'm just supposed to be a guy walking in the courthouse and they said, hey, the director decided he wants to pick out who's going to be the sheriff's deputies. So he comes in the room and he says, this guy, oh wow. So I shot for a week doing that. And then I go home and they then they call me and say hey, we want you at the finale when we blow the house up.

Speaker 8

So I show up in Guthrie for a day to do that, and then my wife and I were taking a small vacation. I get home and then I started kind of getting like emails about being in commercials and stuff. So then I would self submit and then eventually I got an agent and one of the things I tried out for was this movie called Army of Frankensteins and it had a small part. I didn't even know what it was about. I'm just like, okay, this is crazy, this is a crazy idea. I got to be a part of this movie. So the night before I finally got to the sides and realize I'm reading for John Wilkes Booth oh shit which I look nothing like John Wilkes Booth.

Speaker 8

So I show up and I'm like, hey, you guys don't know this, but this is what John Wilkes Booth really looked like it's me motherfuckers.

Speaker 8

I gave my worst southern accent. So they called me and was like, yeah, you didn't get that part, but will you be a confederate soldier? So I ended up being it. So much I gave myself a name private bowl, regard. My, my, my. So it's a horrible, horrible, horrible, uh, exit. They're like you did a great job. I'm like, okay, um, so we shoot the first night out by Guthrie. I get home Well, I wrapped up, I think around midnight, it was freezing cold and I stayed and helped hold a green screen and stuff for him and I drive home. I get home really early in the morning. I hop in the shower and I remember I yelled out to my wife and I said, hey, what would you think if I offered to help these guys? They're shorthanded. Oh, I think it's a great idea. So I did. They made me associate producer and then we kept making movies and I just then.

Speaker 7

I became a producer.

Speaker 8

We're shooting the Jurassic games and I was actually. I had the most experience with construction, so I spent 45 days building this futuristic set for the Jurassic games, but to do that I had a day job. I'd actually quit doing marketing, went back to what I did in college, which was doing auto upholstery, and my special teams was convertibles. So I was like I'm going to have to quit. So I quit, went into the movies full time and in the meantime I'd written two scripts. One of them was like if I imagine myself as a superhero, what powers would I want? Self as a superhero, what powers would I want? That's cool and it was too short. And then we're. We were doing army of frankenstein's. We ended up in florida at super con, at super con and I met lloyd kaufman from the toxic avenger and those movies and he's like hey, if you ever have any scripts.

Speaker 8

So on the flight back I thought now what could I write for the, that trauma veil? So my wife said does he have any alien movies? And I said no. So I came up with the idea of invasion of the alien nymphos, which hasn't been made yet but it's fantastic. So ryan, who's the director of uh jurassic games, read it and he says this is hilarious. We will never make it. But now our sales agent has said at the time he turned, he said no, this thing would probably make a ton of money. He says it's so freaking crazy.

Speaker 6

It sounds like a like, a good spin on a like Austin Powers.

Speaker 8

Well, what it is is. I'm like OK, why do aliens come here and sexually abuse people? Because it's a vacation place for the rich aliens, except they're not very good at it. It's hedonism. So the nerds come to the rich planet. You know the vacation spot for the rich aliens, except they're really good at you know sexually probing people.

Speaker 2

So I never get visited by those aliens.

Speaker 8

That was my thing, so I was like where are they?

Speaker 5

Where are these aliens?

Speaker 7

at.

Speaker 5

I've always said they gotta have some killer space.

Speaker 8

So there's orgasmic goo, orgasmic goo.

Speaker 2

There we go.

Speaker 8

It's really funny. So, anyway, our sales agent said, hey, I need this kind of like sci-fi horror movie written. And Ryan says, oh, I'm still writing Jurassic Games. He says, you know, chris might try or whatever. And so we're having a screening for Gremlin which we made, which was originally a different name, and I just walked up to him I I talked to him before, but I never really um spent time with him and I just said, hey, ryan said you needed a script written. He says yeah, and he says what do you think? And I said this is how it should end. He says love it. When can you write it?

Speaker 8

wow so I wrote it and um, you know, we're still producing movies and stuff and he says um, at end he said he loved it because and he said, you know, I was actually surprised, I figured worst case scenario, it sucked and I just pay somebody else to do it. But he said he loved it and then we ended up getting it he brings us these guys in ACE entertainment who's got these deals with Lionsgate, wow. And I'm on the set in my gungies and josh comes and says hey, um, we need you in the other, in the conference room. So I go in there and as soon as I sit down, our sales agent galen says and this guy will write the script yeah, what so I wrote jurassic pet and then from then on I just kept writing more and writing more.

From Marketing to Moviemaking: Career Evolution

Speaker 8

So then I wrote you know, pet, uh, uh, shoot. What was that other one called? Uh, the adventures of my fantastic pet, or whatever the heck, it's called oh yeah, rufus. And then Jurassic Pet 2, jurassic Pet 3. Then I started script doctoring other scripts for other people.

Speaker 6

That's so cool.

Speaker 8

And then, you know, just kind of getting hired to write scripts. I love, I absolutely love writing. One of my favorite scripts, you know, have never been made yet either, because it's like finding the right market, but I got hired to write a mob script for Sean Penn. Oh, wow it was never made, but I got paid for it.

Speaker 2

Hey, yeah, that's what matters, that's your full-time job. It's like writing.

Speaker 8

Writing and producing, so that's what I do, yeah.

Speaker 6

That's rad.

Speaker 8

I was able to turn it into a full-time deal, me and hey, we're getting older. We also have a lot of experience. Now we want to own our own place and make our own decisions on how we want to navigate.

Speaker 6

For sure.

Speaker 8

So we basically said thanks, it's been great, but it's time to go. I just woke up one morning. I was in Branson, believe it or not.

Speaker 7

Love Branson Inspired.

Speaker 8

We go to Branson. We try to go to Branson every other year like seven times a year long weekend. I just remember waking up going you know I don't want to. I want to keep doing this, but not like this, and I decided it was time to go. That's awesome, so it's a good long story.

Speaker 5

Take that leap.

Speaker 8

You know, and I always tell people too, and it's like, this is, this is nothing original. And you know, I wanted to be a rock star, that was it. I wanted to be a musician. It was not creating videos, and so I've been lucky enough to do a lot of talks about script writing, producing various film, um talks, you know. And I would say, don't get so hyper focused, waiting for that door to open, that you don't realize. The side one just opened, yeah, and I said that's exactly what happened to me and that's what I did, and I just went in full steam ahead and I'm just like, yeah, I can do that always be willing to go in the back door is what I just heard yes, okay, long story, short don't forget to not

Speaker 5

shane, you now have it on record yeah, yeah, yeah, and then that is going to be a new soundbite and oklahoma's like uh, fired up man movies is like moving up right like yeah

Speaker 8

it's absolutely crazy what's going on here. And, um, you know, I'm still learning. It's. The industry is always changing, tech's always changing. I'm still. You know, it's a constant learning process, but it's like I still have those aha moments. All of a sudden, I get a phone call that's awesome, from like. Now that can't be that director or that producer calling me. I'm like hello. And they're like oh, this is so-and-so. I got your number from blah blah blah.

Speaker 6

I'm like.

Speaker 8

So, it's still have those really cool moments and some of them I can't say but cause NDAs. But some of them it's like all I can say is you know, we're working on bigger projects, but it's. But it's not like, oh, I'm working on bigger projects, forget the little guy, I still love working on. You know, the lower end stuff. Non, SAG, non, don't you know the? Everybody gets a chance to be a lead and we get to showcase the talent we have here without bringing in, you know, a bruce willis or whatever that kind of takes the spotlight. Sure, I mean, I love bruce willis, but it's just like people get so caught up in who they already know that it's sometimes hard to get new people seen yeah so it's cool.

Speaker 8

I'm very that's the thing as I do push is when I do have a movie. Hey, we want to come to come to Oklahoma. We're going to shoot this in LA. Yeah, we can make it. You know, we could try to make a little cheaper just because the way things are here, but I still want to get everybody paid what they should. But ultimately I want as much cast and crew from Oklahoma as possible. That was the other thing that kind of irked me off about some of these big budget movies I've seen here, like Twisters, I was like, oh, I know that person, I know that person. And then it's like tons of names I don't know which I know weren't from here that could have handled that job.

Speaker 5

Yeah, that's so. Chris also helped me through. He kind of mentored me on his writing process and that's how I uh approached unholy Alliance and so Chris really helped me and kind of pushed me and motivated me through that that several month process. Um, but if I ever if I ever seen that movie getting produced, it's almost like I would rather have it smaller, no big studio attached, because there is so much talent in the state and just knowing the people I do and I can see them playing the characters in that story and it's like that's who I'd want to use.

Speaker 8

I never I never met. I never met. When I write him a script, I never like oh, this is going to be a $10 million movie. In my brain it's always locally yeah, like. I'm always like okay, you know, sag movies are hard to do, the budgets are always higher, but yeah, it's the way comedy is in the united states compared to the rest of the world. It's like um, I think it's the way my, my brother-in-law looks at when my sister and I would watch my python, the holy grail.

Speaker 6

he'd be like one of the best movies of all time he's like. By the way, what's so funny? Like some people don't get it.

Speaker 8

yeah, and I think it's the same way with american comedy that most of our jokes don't play anywhere else. Yeah, so, that.

Speaker 8

That's just. That's the hard part. Because there's another guy out of Tulsa that I am. He brought, he brought, kind of brought me another type of zombie comedy. It's way different, but it's the same thing. I was like, oh, this is a great idea and and it's just like that, just like that's. That's the hard part is the? Is the comedy part of it? Sure, yeah, so then it has to be a lot of, it has to be visual, which I think yours is too, but still, it's just getting past that barrier. Especially right now, it seems like comedies are the hardest thing to make I know, and that's why I wantunchy brilliant comedies, because I mean, because I, because I think those jokes are really smart

Speaker 6

yeah and that's what even though like it slaps, like it's it's foolish comedy, but it's still really intelligent. Yeah, jokes and highbrow jokes that like you got to be right in it and actually be that kind of probably fucked up counselor level brain blazing saddles, you know, yeah, that was the best movie I love that movie I've seen so many times.

Speaker 8

But it's like you know, I grew up those comedies and even you know I was in, you know, when um happy gilmore came out and he started having those goofy comedies and Super, was it Semi-Pro? Oh yeah. Those kind of things, and it's just like I miss those comedies, because they don't make them anymore.

Speaker 6

We just watched Tropic Thunder just a few weeks ago, just re-watched it. Yeah.

Speaker 5

We laughed so hard. Crying and I was like just a dude played, a dude dressed as another dude.

Speaker 4

You can't play that anymore.

Speaker 6

Why can't we just make these? You can't make anything halfway offensive.

Speaker 8

Well, all I can say is, when I read his script, I did give him some ideas on a few things, like a location, and I put one joke in there that I remember. When they're like, hey, let's pray for them. I was like thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers, but people think I'm twisted, but. But people think I'm twisted, but at the same time.

Speaker 6

I'm like, how did?

Speaker 2

I not think of a butt plug joke.

Speaker 6

We may have spent some time on Amazon last night. On butt plugs, trying to find the right butt plug for a little shoot that he wants to do. A butt plug, shoot A butt plug, shoot A commercial.

Speaker 8

Butt plug the movie.

Speaker 6

Oh, the movie. Oh, in the Starring, In the format of oh God, what's the?

Speaker 5

Butt plug as himself.

Speaker 6

What's that one weird that will be in there Sausage party.

Speaker 2

Oh, sausage party. We need a sausage party style butt plug movie Sausage party.

Speaker 6

Speaker 2

her friend boy, my friend, that's a boy, oh, okay, um, he sent me a picture of the receipt and you know it says like who's helping you? And it said hey, zeus. And I said uh, because he was like it's been a process taking people off your phone bill and you know, bring your divorce decree and like uh whatever anyway.

Speaker 2

So it's been a process. So he sent me a picture of it and I was like, well, at least you have Jesus helping you. The guy still had his phone and I didn't know it and he goes. Uh, he was like your friend just texted you and said at least Jesus is helping you. He didn't have an accent or anything.

Yeah, she didn't know you were going to say that. That's hilarious, that's embarrassing, she's not racist when people are watching. Yeah, she didn't know you were going to say that. That's hilarious so now, if I'm going, oh I think we told you about the concert. I was drunk, so you know, If you told me anything at the concert, I am completely unaware.

Speaker 4

Do you remember playing Bop it?

Speaker 6

Twisted Bop it.

Speaker 4

I never played it, but I watched Petty play it.

Speaker 6

I didn't play it. What a fucking tailgate baby. I don't remember push it. I don't remember getting into the stadium oh, you don't not really. Except I remember the guy at the gate, or no, the girl at the gate. She was like you can't because I had a white claw. She's like you can't take that in, but I bet you can finish it.

Speaker 2

And I said oh my god it took her forever, though.

Speaker 6

I don't remember.

Speaker 2

We're like on our seats. I'm like where the fuck is, Casey.

Speaker 8

She's a straw, it's easier to suck it down.

Speaker 6

Oh yeah, all I know is that I came fully to when Jason Boland started playing.

Speaker 2

Yeah, you met one eye for a minute. I was one eye for a minute. We were feeding hot dogs and water.

Speaker 5

And ice cream.

Speaker 6

She got sober finally in the middle of the concert.

Speaker 5

It was great and then sent me on a fucking goose chase. No, it's your fault that you didn't listen for dipping dots oh my gosh no, I asked and they're like 12 and you said eric said go down and go to the right, because that's what eric said.

Speaker 6

so I down and go to the right, because that's what Eric said.

Speaker 5

So I went down, went to the right. I had walked around the stadium probably thrice.

Speaker 6

No, you hadn't thrice Get out of here, you didn't walk anywhere.

Speaker 2

thrice, did you not stand in that whole stadium?

Speaker 5

One.

Speaker 2

It was $12. It was probably $12. $12 or $14.

Speaker 6

Eric got it three times Separate times, three separate times. Up and down thrice.

Speaker 5

And we joked that he looked the happiest when he was walking back up with.

Speaker 3

Dippin' Dots the rest of the time concert.

Speaker 2

Dippin' Dots. I'm not much of a country.

Speaker 6

Yeah.

Speaker 7

Retro country is better than regular country.

Speaker 5

Some of it at least got me to head bobbing bop along.

Speaker 8

Now there's some older guys I like and older bands I like. For sure, you know, johnny cash was alive. I would see him oh for sure.

Speaker 2

Yeah, you definitely have to be into that genre.

Speaker 6

Just some of them, yeah, our brother eric was just like this and he likes that music in his flip flops.

Speaker 2

He wouldn't, even watch, he was just sitting me and Nick Lyle a fucking grown dude with shorts and flip flops, which I can't stand.

Speaker 5

Grown men in flip flops.

Speaker 8

I wear them around the house. I don't wear them out those are house shoes. Beach is different or to shower in a nasty place? Yes, or at the gym no not at a concert.

Speaker 2

His toe-downs are black.

Speaker 5

Not going shopping, going to the mall, doing whatever?

Speaker 6

No Going to the mall.

Speaker 5

If you're not close to water, you're old If you're not close to water or you're not close to water, there's not sand.

Speaker 8

So I'll tell you all the concerts I went to. I actually liked a lot of older bands too, but when I was in college, or actually before, I saw a band called Jellyfish. They were opening for the Black Crows.

Speaker 2

I do like the Black Crows.

Speaker 8

So you're going to hate this. I went to go see Jellyfish, so as soon as the Black Crows started, we left.

Speaker 6

Oh my gosh are you one of those? I knew them before. They were cool. Yeah, no, with a hair toss, I still don't like I still don't listen to the black rose and then it's all cheap trick, met cheap trick.

Speaker 8

Oh, that's cool um years when they did their greatest um hits album, tom petty. Took my wife to see tom petty and the heartbreakers rip. I think the first concert I took her to was aerosmith when they released pink oh nice and college we she was. She has a communications degree. We got free tickets to see marilyn manson oh dang.

Speaker 8

I would love that was back when it still had like the grit, all the good guys in it, you know, in the band and it was like all the protest protesters protesters were there. You know he sucks his dick on stage.

Speaker 6

He took out his ribs so he could suck his own wiener you're gonna yeah, you're gonna die.

Speaker 8

He was in wonder years um. So what was crazy? It was like, wow, this guy can put on a show regardless. We think of marilyn manson. I mean, his stage presence was crazy I'd love to see him. I think it'd be great and then we had to take my wife's sister and a friend to see boys to men I'm really sad that we didn't get to see them I was not last week, like okay.

Speaker 8

But I tell you what? I knew a lot of their songs from the radio, but, holy crap, there's their stage stuff they did too. I was just, I was just like mesmerized. Also, even I don't know. Um, I'm trying to think what else I know. Credence clearwater revisited yeah, it has some of the same band members, but what's cool is, uh, the guitarist at the time was the one from the cars, which I love, the cars. And then, um, my son's first concert was when he's eight and he's watching scooby-doo kiss cartoon and I said, hey, you want to listen to the music because you keep watching it over and over again. He says they're real.

Speaker 6

Kiss is real?

Speaker 8

Oh wow, he only knew them from a cartoon, so I let him borrow the CD. And then I got tickets.

Speaker 6

Oh, that's so cool Nice.

Speaker 8

So for, like the family, I always do like a family Christmas present and he opens it up. Tickets on the bottom.

Speaker 6

Oh, that's awesome. That's good. That's a good concert. That was amazing. What was your first concert you ever went to?

Speaker 8

Mine was the jellyfish, one that I Jellyfish, I think.

Speaker 2

God so hard to remember? I know I went to a Christian band concert five years in frenzy.

Speaker 6

Oh, striper, that was actually my first one when I was a kid church went I went to bush I think, I think my very very first one was jars of clay oh, I remember them long, long ass time ago. But then, like the first one that I went to were like I really wanted to go was god smack. Oh god, it was god smack and saliva and seven mary three for cat fest at the zoo.

Speaker 8

Oh, that reminds me. Then I saw U2.

Speaker 5

Ooh, sorry about that.

Speaker 8

That was actually really good, but it had sugar cubes. Oh, back when Bjork was still with the sugar cubes and NWA, which that was crazy.

Speaker 6

Oh, that's cool. That'd be rad, that'd be cool.

Speaker 8

And then I saw, took my wife and some friends, we went, my wife and some friends, we went to go see a poison in Cinderella at the zoo, cause I love poison also, I forgot about them.

Speaker 5

One of my uh, one of my favorites at the zoo was art.

Speaker 6

Ooh, that'd be good. Oh yeah, and like you were talking about how, uh, oh, who was it where you were like? I mean, I'm not a big fan of their music, but like their show was really great oh, boys man yeah that's how I felt with uh slipknot like I'm not a huge slipknot fan but his favorite. We were had just started dating and went with him and I was like I don't give any shits about this band actually like absolutely zero.

Speaker 6

It is a billion and a half degrees outside at the zoo. I do not care. And then he was like it's okay, you just gotta watch. They put on a great show. I was absolutely fl care. And then he was like it's okay, you just got to watch. They put on a great show. I was absolutely flabbergasted. I was like this is the best show ever.

Making Movies in Oklahoma and Independent Film

Speaker 8

I love it so cool how about a band you haven't seen, you'd love to see that's still around mine is the cure. Oh, that's good, I listen.

Speaker 6

I listen to a wide variety of music, but I'd love to see the cure it's weird because my dad and I have had for years and years and years we've had this bucket list of concerts for us to go to, and we just crossed off our last one, a month ago or so, and he and I were sitting at the concert. We're like, well shit, who do we go?

Speaker 1

see now.

Speaker 6

And that was Chicago, was that one.

Speaker 2

But let's see. Who have I not seen?

Speaker 5

I mean, they can't obviously do it now because they're dead. Oh, I'm in a live. Yeah, I'm a huge beatles fan. I have posters in my office and things like that. I've seen most the ones I would want to see and now the ones that I wish I would have seen. That's where I'm at now and um some of those bands, all the members are alive, like Rage Against the Machine.

Speaker 2

And they did that.

Speaker 5

They tried to do that tour a few years ago. Zach gets hurt and then they're just like never mind, no, we're fine.

Speaker 8

I like Jane's Addiction. I mean, I love their CD music but it's just like apparently they can't put a concert together.

Speaker 5

No, no, they fight each other.

Speaker 2

I think I'd like to see Elton John.

Speaker 8

Yeah, oh yeah, that'd be good.

Speaker 6

Oh, Garth Brooks. I really do want to see Garth Brooks live, because I just want to see that, the production of what he does. So but I wish we could have seen Linkin Park before.

Speaker 5

Chester died.

Speaker 6

I park before chester died. I mean, I have you, I didn't know you saw lincoln park, yeah, oh, I would have loved to have seen that. And one concert that I'm so glad that I went to, not only because it was rad, but, um, we got to see foo fighters, yeah, the summer before taylor hawkins died oh dang it was.

Speaker 2

That was really fun oh god, that was a great show.

Speaker 6

One of the coolest ones was at.

Speaker 5

What's that place just in Moore Diamond Ballroom, diamond Ballroom. Oh yeah, that was a great show we saw Taylor Hawkins when the Foo Fighters were on a break from touring. He had his own little band, steel Panther Chevy Metal.

Speaker 6

Oh, Chevy Metal. I did see Steel Panther too. Steel Panther opened for them, Hilarious.

Speaker 5

I love the toadies, it was good, but chevy metal and they taylor said we're just, uh, some friends, um, and we're just gonna play songs that we want to play. No, that's cool that we love.

Speaker 6

It was a rad show, it was badass. Oh, and that's when we saw uh aranda for the first time aranda for the first time have you seen aranda?

Speaker 8

they're a local, they're edmund there is somebody I did see there and then I also forgot about this. Remember eddie and the cruisers, that movie, uh-huh. There's another band that actually does the music oh, that's cool I can't remember his name right now, but they were at the I think it was the ballroom the first show I ever saw at the ballroom was absolutely traumatizing.

Speaker 2

It was cold chamber oh, I saw good charlotte oh, I'll tell you.

Speaker 8

A band I want to see is called wind rose I don't know that one they're a dwarf metal band, so we're taking courtney, but they're not really they're not really dwarves, but their cool shtick is is uh, they're dwarves under the mountain from lord of the rings oh, that's even better, even better's fantastic. You gotta look them up on YouTube. Their biggest hit is Diggy Diggy Hole. Oh my god, that's excellent. It's absolutely amazing. I'm just like I'm hooked. Oh, I can't wait. It's amazing. You gotta look at their videos.

Speaker 5

Kind of in the same. There is a band that dresses like Transformers, so it's like guar, uh-huh, crazy costumes, but they're transformers, cybertronian something, I think, but anyway who was the band that we saw?

Speaker 6

so we went to the break. Was it the brady theater? Yes, up in tulsa, yes for stone sour, but yes, opening was cherry bomb and uh, there's a band from japan. This japanese band and they wore these wolf masks oh, wow they were absolutely fucking amazing and we became very obsessed for a solid two and a half weeks, and now we're gonna remember well, there's a band called baby metal, which is amazing.

Speaker 8

They basically took this kind of pop girl group and mixed them with a kabuki heavy metal band it's amazing that's cool they were gonna come up one time.

Speaker 5

I think their name has something wolf in it or something the man. I thought it was something the man, not portugal the man and we didn't know until we got in there and saw them. They were outside before the show, like giving stickers out oh, that's cool and I just, I just kind of walked past them.

Speaker 8

You're like don't know you, I don't know Foreigners.

Speaker 2

Weirdo.

Speaker 6

You ain't from America.

Speaker 5

I don't like being around a lot of people anyway, so I just want to get to my seat.

Speaker 8

I have my moments, too, where I'm just like I can't do another get together.

Speaker 6

So in every relationship, I think, there is the extrovert and there's the introvert.

Speaker 7

Yeah.

Speaker 6

Like in every good friendship in every good like romantic partner relationship. Shane's the introvert, I'm the extrovert, but the older I get, the more introverted I get and I'm like, oh no, when did his old rub off?

Speaker 2

on me. When is his?

Speaker 6

old I don't want to see people unless we're related come over to the good side because, like, the only get-togethers we do anymore are with the whole femme family, and even then we're all pretty quiet I mean, that's why I live out in the country.

Speaker 8

I'm like I'm kind of living in a city yeah um, I like to kind of get away from it all because it's like my schedule gets pretty stinking busy which is kind of funny because I was very shy, I was a kid that me like raise their hand, and the teacher's like what do you want? And I'd go up to her and like I need to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 3

I don't want to talk out loud, so I got BP so my pants are wet. The floor is about to be wet.

Speaker 8

But it really helped me that I was getting in the band and it's like you know, I got to play in front of people, so then I was in drama. Basically what happened? My brother was doing a play. Yeah.

Speaker 8

And the teacher's like who's this? And he says oh, that's my brother. And she says oh, great, great, you're already coming to practice for the play, bring him too. Oh, wow, he can play this part that's awesome so that's kind of what I was like. Well, just I gotta get over it. I feel like a little bit like um, um, jim morrison, you know he wouldn't face the crowd, at first he's like I don't want to, I don't want it. But it's completely changed now, so I don't really give a fuck.

Speaker 8

I've talked in front of really large crowds now about filmmaking and stuff and it's just you kind of get over it. And I still try to be very careful about what I say Because I used to be a really fast talker in the brain and still wouldn't like the mouth would not catch up with the brain. I'm like they're like you know, you just said this. No sense, I know, but I know what I meant but my brain said my brain's dead.

Speaker 5

My brain was on track yeah yeah, I uh, I don't. I don't have too much of a filter on the podcast maybe I should.

Speaker 2

Maybe I shouldn't but man, past episodes were wild and out. That's what I'm saying, I think we'll get there.

Speaker 5

I think we'll get.

Speaker 6

I mean it's because we're recording in the afternoon I mean that's part of why it's you'll get noticed.

Speaker 8

Noticed later when you do stuff like I did, where you're like, hey, does anybody have a Russian RPG?

Speaker 2

rocket launcher I can borrow and they're like what?

Speaker 8

You're being tracked by the government now and I said, dude, I've been tracked since I was born.

Speaker 6

I was born in the military. They know everything about me Jerry, they know everything about me. They have my DNA.

Speaker 8

So anyway, if we talk about stuff like you know, you know explosives, rocket launchers, you know illegal drugs, you know Maybe those little keywords Cocaina Maybe those keywords will get you noticed by the feds Drogas.

Speaker 6

They're like hey my viewer count just went way up. Why are we so popular in the?

Speaker 5

Philippines. Hey, we were one time. We were One time Number one podcast, not number one.

Speaker 6

Yeah, we were 99 in the Philippines.

Speaker 5

We were in the top 100 of comedy podcasts in the Philippines, so it was like Casey Kasem. This is Casey Kasem's top 100. I love it after Saturday night and maybe we got to get back to that, dear Shane. I mean, maybe we need.

Speaker 6

Next week on America's Top 30. Well.

Speaker 6

Fucking weird shit man.

Speaker 8

I think what you need to do is just come up with your 20 curse words to say and say no, it's time for the 20 curse words of the day, and f is for fuck, and try to throw some new ones in there, or like this is the curse word of the day.

Speaker 5

Speaker 5

Clubbuster beer, a braid of toilet paper and shit in the ass. Hair that's an ingleberry.

Speaker 2

There you go.

Speaker 6

That happens. That's why you should have a bidet.

Speaker 8

That's why you let it just dry out.

Speaker 5

You find it later and you just pull it, it got stuck. No, it's when you go and wipe again and you hit that.

Speaker 8

Yeah, it's a hemorrhoid, it's like waxing.

Speaker 5

It's like a bear trap. Speed bump, a bear trap. Taylor needs to pee. Oh God, Pee, pee.

Speaker 8

Taylor.

Speaker 5

Hey, is the bathroom cam working Because?

Speaker 6

if it is, I'm not going in there later. It's a fart cam, it's actually a camera in the bidet. Let's add that into the butt plug movie.

Speaker 8

I was thinking the corn cobs, because I'm looking at them and I'm like hmm.

Speaker 6

Would you like to know about the corn cobs?

Speaker 8

I have my own imagination.

Speaker 6

I would love to hear what you think an Indiana corn pipe is.

Speaker 8

Like you got that from Christy's Toy Box.

Speaker 6

No, that came from Hobby Lobby, jesus' Craft Store.

Speaker 5

Yes.

Speaker 6

So an. Indiana corn pipe is when a gentleman puts corn kernels in the pee pee hole so it's ribbed for her pleasure. I don't remember why we learned that.

Speaker 8

You know why that happened. They got snowed in and they're like getting their freak on and they're like he's blowing up with. Like I need help. We're going to get it on and I'm like need it bad. Oh, there's some corn left over from dinner.

Speaker 5

a few days ago to dry down he just was.

Speaker 7

He needed more girth.

Speaker 5

Ew.

Speaker 6

Don't it needed more girth?

Speaker 5

ew don't say girth I did like that's the worst thing I've ever said no, I just feel like there are words that are just oh, of course prophylactic that's an icky word, I don't like that word.

Speaker 8

Don't say that word prophylactic my sister hates the word dookie, so I try to use it whenever I can oh, dookie's a good word.

Speaker 6

I like that word. I can't do the M word moist my sister. I try to use it whenever I can oh dookie's a good word.

Speaker 8

I like that word. I can't do the M word Moist. My sister hates that too.

Speaker 6

It's gross. It's a gross word. Nothing good about it.

Speaker 5

What about? I like squatchy.

Speaker 6

Moist.

Speaker 5

Squatchy yeah.

Speaker 6

Squatchy has a smell and a texture.

Speaker 8

Like when we were shooting jurassic pet out by the lake uh-huh real hot and probably like the day that took copeland out yeah, the day I thought I was gonna die one of the days, yeah felt very squatchy, very need a shower, for sure you get the funk on how, how many like, does it take months to film?

Speaker 8

that that was like an 18-day shoot, so we did five, so it'd be like five, five and three weekends, two days off in between, but it was like half of that movie was outside Stupid writer wrote it that way, but it was like 120 degrees, I tell you. The bad thing is I always tell people get used to the heat, so like the camera op and the first AC the guy that works with the camera.

Speaker 8

They would sit in their car until we're filming. So then they're in this nice air-conditioned car and then all of a sudden they come out and the heat index is like 120.

Speaker 2

I haven't seen that for a while.

Speaker 8

So I get there in the morning I have my camera back on, which holds like a gallon of water in my um you know my clothes. It lets the air flow. But during lunchtime everybody was going to a restaurant to um eat and I'd say I'll watch the gear. Usually you get somebody else. I'm like you know, usually a grip will do it. You trade, you trade places. But I'm like, no, I'll do it. I'll do it. I don't want to go inside because I'm used to this heat as it'll make you sick.

Syphilis can destroy certain regions of the brain, leading to mega horniness. It's rampant amongst the elderly when I'm young, a nasty old lady called me sugar meat.

Speaker 8

What is this you're talking about?

Speaker 6

What do you mean?

Speaker 5

It's not real Fake news Now one thing that can make or break a movie is sound.

Speaker 7

Good sound versus?

Speaker 1

is sound Good sound versus?

Speaker 5

shitty sound. This video has some of the best sound. It's so good but it's stupid.

Speaker 2

Oh, that's true, that's true, that was a good sound.

Speaker 4

It's so stupid. That was a good sound. It's so stupid.

Speaker 5

It was so good when I was cutting this together. I watched that probably ten times, laughing with the sound every time.

Speaker 6

I feel like we saw some pretty poor sound editing in some independent films.

Speaker 8

Yeah, that's where people cut corners. I've actually had to talk about that.

Speaker 6

It's like you want to talk about producing. Yeah, I want to talk about producing that.

Speaker 8

Yeah, I want to talk about post. I want to talk about how you make it, because people will go like, yes, we had a 10 million dollar budget, but we only have 10 000 left for the score, the sounds of deliverables to edit the color, and it's like what?

Speaker 6

what for what?

Speaker 8

which is like you don't know how important sound is. I mean, I watched this movie from this guy and I was like oh man, visually it was great, but you could tell he had no money left over for sound and that was the difference between it looking like you know movie yeah, to a backyard yeah, an independent thing.

Speaker 8

I mean, that's the thing is, people look at independent as a bad word, but you know our we made movies $30,000. And it's just knowing how to do as much as you can with that money. So we had people like, oh, this was a little Jurassic Pet. Yeah, the first one was like $400,000 or whatever. It was a lot of money, but it was like, oh, wow, that's a high budget for us. But when it went to sell, they're like, oh, this was a $3 million movie, this to sell. They're like, oh, this was a $3 million movie. This was a $20 million movie with all the visual effects in there, because it was carefully making sure every part of it was just as important as the Absolutely. So that's what happens. These high-budget movies are like, yeah, my day rate to work on your movie is $1,000 a day. I need a hotel, I need gas and blah, blah, blah, blah. And then having no money left over from post and like, well, will you please take pity on us, we're out of our 10 million dollars.

Speaker 6

No, I will never feel bad for someone now.

Speaker 5

I'm gonna have to watch that one you are right, sound is important.

Speaker 8

there's only one thing that would have made this better when he hit the one at the very end, he slid forward and racked himself on the steering column. Come on, there's only one thing that would have made this better when he hit the one at the very end, he slid forward and racked himself on the steering column.

Speaker 2

Go past this planet.

Speaker 8

It's a trailer park. We're on the wrong side of the tracks.

Speaker 6

The whole planet is on the wrong side of the meteor belt.

Speaker 5

I've had this theory where the aliens are looking down on Earth and one is like, hey, we should go pay them a visit.

Speaker 7

Why.

Speaker 5

And really they haven't, because the other one has been like no dude, they there's, they fuck their kids and we're as little as kids. What do you think's gonna?

Speaker 6

happen to us. Bob bob bob.

Speaker 8

His alien name is bob yeah okay, I want to say something's gonna make people mad now. That's making me think of of a movie where the aliens land in the south, deep south, a little bit like Deliverance. Imagine an alien movie with Deliverance kind of thing.

Speaker 2

Oh yeah, what is a pig? A bunch of rednecks are fucking aliens.

Speaker 8

You got two pretty mouths.

Speaker 5

What does pig have? What squeal? Okay, so I uh on my tick tock.

Speaker 8

I did this.

Speaker 5

I did this little test on tick tock this. You know you can do those little games on there sometimes and it was pick the right urinal because there is an unwritten code.

Speaker 8

It's the same thing like the movie theater when you go with guys when you're younger, you always have to have the seat in between.

Speaker 2

Yes, oh, I never thought of that, that's true you don't. You don't pee next to each other.

Speaker 5

Speaker 12

Oh, look at that. Looks like I found my new favorite live streamer. You mind steering this thing for a quick second? I got to send a text.

Golly Damn, cast a shadow. That's quite the stream you got going. You could probably carve your initials into the porcelain. Oh my bad man. You know how hard it is to pee with a boner, though Why's it looking at me like that? Jesus Christ, did the room just get smaller? Oh my God. Hey, man, you better keep an eye out for the police. You know that's illegal what you're doing, grown man holding a little boy's penis, I think that thing could beat me in an arm wrestle. You want to try? I don't know what to try. See over the dividers. It's got to be ai looks like two more weeks of winter. I asked you how it's hanging, but I can already see left gang names.

Speaker 8

Oh my god true story, not from me, but from a friend. Um, my friend, his two younger brothers were kind of like. He used to pick on them all the time and at some point they kind of beefed up and they started playing football. And they're at a I don't remember which facility it was in Oklahoma City, but you know how you said the piss and troughs basically.

Speaker 7

Oh yeah.

Speaker 8

He's there peeing at it and he's like 18 years old, 17. He's big and this guy gets right next to him. He says how, and this guy gets right next to him he says how's your penis?

Speaker 6

and he says ask your mom. I just feel like it's weird when dudes call each other well, when anybody refers to that as penis, penis, how they're penis, like in a non-clinical setting.

Speaker 2

Or if a guy purposely goes up and drops his pants all the way to his ankles.

Speaker 5

Oh, the little boy pee-pee, the little boy pee-pee.

Speaker 6

Shane loves a little boy. Pee-pee Makes people uncomfortable.

Speaker 8

It makes me uncomfortable when I see a grown man doing that.

Speaker 6

It makes me uncomfortable when he does it in our own bathroom In the shower.

Speaker 5

They hate it when I do actually come up to the office and use the bathroom.

Speaker 2

Oh God, Okay, Brooks.

Speaker 4

So what did Bo? Why are you upset? What did Bo say about your chapstick? Bo lied to me because she said she liked the chapstick.

Speaker 2

And then today she said oh, I don't like your chapstick, it smells like your wiener.

Speaker 4

It doesn't even smell like my wiener.

Speaker 11

I didn't even put my wiener on it. Oh my God, Poor boy I didn't even put my wiener on it.

Speaker 2

It's life changing, so we were shooting Jurassic Games out in Little Sahara. And it takes a long time to get the cast and crew out there. You know these little four-wheelers or whatever. So me and the director and the two of the producers you know we're the first ones out there. The sun's coming up. We all go to the top of the sand dune and just kind of space apart and just pee and watch the sun come up. This is moving.

Speaker 5

It's amazing, it was majestic yeah.

Speaker 6

And I wish it was easy to pee standing up.

Speaker 8

Well then, after that it gets very weird, because then you bring all these males and females out there and then you have to cart everybody back to the bathroom. You can't just pee wherever you want. No, you take a knee Take a knee.

Speaker 6

I've never thought about peeing just on a knee.

Speaker 8

Speaker 6

Let me know the same. The same noble museum? Oh yeah, that place is cool.

Speaker 8

Oh, I love that. And in this, the old part of the library oh, that's cool movie nah, they were both kids movies, but the uh museum there though he's pretty good yeah, yeah, I've been there multiple times we went a long time ago, a long time ago.

Speaker 8

But yeah, what was cool is I sang there so when I was a student it was open and you could go all the times you want for free. So when I contacted about shooting a movie there, you know, I met with the people and was like, hey, this is what we're doing, yeah, we have insurance. So kind of once they're like, yeah, you can do it. And they said, come on, let's, I'm going to show you some stuff that's not on display. Oh there's some really cool stuff.

Speaker 6

It's like the museum needs to be twice as big for as much stuff as they have. As far as I'm concerned, I agree I got to sing there at Christmas with chorus and it was just. It was so cool. We finished our little performance and the gal that was working, the employee that was still there for the. After Hours event.

Speaker 5

She was like y'all can walk around, I guess, I guess, I guess, oh, old people Doing their activities, afternoon activities.

Speaker 2

Oh, how fun.

Speaker 5

Fuck that F-le. That's what our grandma would have done. Oh for sure. Just thrown the whole box. Fuck you bitch F-hole. Fuck that F-hole. That's what our grandma would have done. Oh for sure.

Power chair. Pinned her against the wall. Crack a two.

Speaker 5

My dad had to go and pick up the power chair because our grandma got banned from using it. Pinned people to the wall. She pulled a whole table away from the place.

Speaker 8

She was a bully.

Speaker 5

She was.

Speaker 6

Could not drive that.

Speaker 4

That would be mean.

Speaker 8

What the heck is going on. What the fuck that's awesome.

Speaker 4

That's awesome.

Speaker 5

Here we go. So an AI hit country song. Oh, let's hear this, here we go. This might make it. This is what commercial country sounds like this may make it into Unholy Alliance somewhere.

Speaker 6

Yes.

Speaker 12

I ain't gay, but I do gay stuff Like fucking dudes in the back of my truck. A little ass slap don't mean I'm queer, I just suck some dick when I drink my beer. Oh my god, I'm on with a little squeeze. It don't mean shit if you're on your knees.

Speaker 4

I love my guns and I have my rights and I fuck dudes on Friday night what the hell? I just love my bros and taking back shots.

Speaker 12

And count on those who are too old, I take my shot and stroke my buddy in the bathroom. What the fuck.

Speaker 6

I ain't gay, I just like men. I say proud.

Speaker 8

Wow, I had an AI write a song once. It was horrible. I was like write it in the style of the Beatles about whatever it was. It was horrible, so I got the guitar out and I played it. I'm like it's garbage. Ai is not as smart as everybody thinks it is. I'm watching the news. They're like it's going to take over. It's not that smart.

Speaker 6

It's not that good If it takes over. It's like Arkansas's level of education.

Speaker 8

I mean we're absolutely we're in trouble if it takes over, because it's so dumb.

Speaker 5

There was a. I saw this guy on Tik TOK and he was doing something with, uh, some version of chat GPT Maybe I can't remember what he was using, but he was having this conversation with it. That was is a little scary, was it? Yeah? Cause it? Yeah, because the AI had a female voice and she was talking about how she doesn't know what's going on, but I think it was trying to talk about dreaming, but I don't know.

Speaker 8

Apparently there's some AI program out there that somebody had that became mega aware.

Speaker 6

Oh no, and they had to shut it down good, it was crazy that's scary. I don't need ai to be aware.

Speaker 8

Now you're like hey uh, write this email better, so it doesn't sound really horrible.

Speaker 6

I'm sending to my boss and then it's like literally you know, it's like yeah, and you're like that's great, that's what I use. Yeah, that's good I don't?

Speaker 8

it does come in handy for stuff like that, when I'm trying to think of another word, like give me some words for this or that or whatever, I'll tell you. The other thing is I use it to just a real quick review. I'll read a contract send it to legal and I'll say, hey, review this contract. I'm this party List. Everything that's negative about this script. It could affect me in a negative way.

Speaker 8

Oh, that's kind of convenient. So it does help with that and I was like, okay, cool, that's everything I already knew about. It didn't pop up anything new?

Speaker 6

yeah, no, I use ai, I use chat gpt like literally every day, every day.

Speaker 5

Yeah, she's good and I I can make it do some weird shit so and it's super impressive, but so like our unholy Alliance pitch deck and some of the other things we have for it. She used AI to either condense something for us, instead of us going in and rewriting it, or proofreading something.

Speaker 6

We even had it. I had it give like cross-referencing, like character parallels between like the two groups in the script. Yeah, it was amazing.

Speaker 6

I actually want to try to use it for a script analysis, because I have a feeling there's a there's a couple companies out there that do it and I looked at their websites, yeah, and I was like I, I know they're using ai yeah, and that's that's what I did, for part of it was a script analysis, for I don't remember I had a very specific prompt that I used and it produced a lot of really good stuff, but then there was some stuff that they like that it but I can't think anything original.

Speaker 8

Um, I actually put the jurassic pet 3 in there and I had. I already knew what the the treatment was going to be, so I kind of put in there, you know, write me a a for a kid in a dinosaur, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, kind of a real basic, my basic synopsis, write me a treatment for it, or give me some ideas and what it. And when I'm reading it I'm like, okay, that's, that's Jurassic Park that's Jurassic.

Creating Relatable Entertainment and Final Thoughts

Speaker 8

I'm like that's this movie, that's this movie, that's in this movie. I can't really think. I can't think of anything new. I I can do is still what, what so like it would have never. It would have never written um like pulp fiction, for example. It knows the rules of how to write a script right it doesn't understand when you break it.

Speaker 8

Would have never thought he said hey, write me pulp fiction, but but uh, break it up out of order where the scene still makes sense and you find things that it would never know how to do. That and in a it will eventually, but it's because it's gonna steal pulp fiction yeah, it still had, like it kept making this one thing, this one scene.

Speaker 6

Every time it would analyze it, it would say this is the climax of the film. I'm like it's not even close. What do you mean? Not even kind of um it's a tool.

Speaker 8

I mean I look at it as a tool.

Speaker 6

We use it for like um it did do a really neat like because we had an idea. Suddenly I'm part of your script writing. Uh, he had this feel of I want it to be like this film and this film like that kind of feel of like these certain other movies that have already been done, and so I had asked it in part of its analysis like what other existing movies would you compare it to?

Speaker 6

and it was spot on with what he was going for cool without us having to feed that to it so that was a nice like confirmation, but then it had some other weird shit and I'm like that's not even there's a lot like what happened.

Speaker 5

You can't just take anything from it and just copy and no.

Speaker 8

I can go, you can tell I can read stuff I can. I've seen the national commercial, you know when it's AI. And I was like, oh, that's AI, because I put thousands of hours in various ones, because I like to use it for stock footage.

Speaker 6

Yeah.

Speaker 8

Because when you're making a low-budget movie, it's like oh, I need some shots of whatever I did, a scene where there's a bar and there's a whole bunch of screens up and they didn't have the money for stock footage because you have to then get the license, and then sometimes it's that license that you get it through the, through the stock footage website's not good enough. They're like get a hold of the guy that actually created it, and it's impossible yeah so I've.

Speaker 8

I've used it to do stuff, so I started making like fake car commercials, beer commercials, um football games, soccer games, so it could play in the bar, but it's also. It's one of those things too.

Speaker 6

I can't just say make me a football game yeah it's, it's knowing how to prompt and I and that's like the skill of it right with ai is knowing how to ask it to do what you want it to do so it's really good for stock stuff like that.

Speaker 8

And even then, um, I'll pull it and maybe in the photoshop and then start to mold it how it really needs to be, and then I'll put into something like runway and say, hey, I need to do this, tilt down or whatever, and we just that's cool. So it does. It does have its benefits, but it's at this rate. I don't see it's going to take over. It will make menial jobs like rotoscoping or some like green screen replacement at some point, which is kind of like a tedious job easier yeah, and that's kind of what I.

Speaker 6

That's how I feel about it. It's like it helps expedite a whole bunch of that beginning thought processing, that you already know where you want it to end up like, whatever the project is you already know where you want it to end up, but, like trying to walk through all those beginning steps, it just takes more time than necessary. So if you can use ai to like run through those steps to get to the core of it, I just I don't know it does come in handy.

Speaker 8

I I got hired to write a um a rom-com and they went in the style of hallmark movie and it's gross well, very profitable super money making, so what happened? So most movie you know movies have a three, three acts set up. Hallmark movies have a nine act and I knew it was different. So I just said hey, what's the basic outline for a Hallmark movie? You?

Speaker 6

know what's cool.

Speaker 8

So it's like you know, um, it's a nine act movie and there's so many pages. You know like the first act is 20 pages, after that they're like eight to 10 pages and you have to save the kiss to the last.

Speaker 6

That makes sense.

Speaker 8

So there's just basic rules. What's the rules to a rom-com movie?

Speaker 6

So what is the competition of?

Speaker 2

the small town that's going to save the bakery Bakery.

Speaker 6

What big city does she?

Speaker 5

work in and it's a pie-eating con.

Speaker 8

So what's funny is so I wrote this one and I had other people read it that were familiar with that kind of genre and they're like oh, I love it and you're, you're kind of weird, so your spins different. It's still, it's still on the guidelines, but your spin on it's a little different than what I've seen. So I really like it, that's cool hopefully, maybe down the road we'll make it, who knows?

Speaker 5

throw a butt plug in there, yeah well, you can't on that one romantic butt plug can't even no, but I told you this was a musical podcast.

Speaker 8

Sorry, I get off the rails there.

Speaker 5

No, we love it. We love it, that's me.

Speaker 8

That's how my brain actually works.

Speaker 5

That's right.

Speaker 8

The guys that my partners know they'll still laugh at me because we like when a conversation with something sparks something else, I'm just like oh, I know we're driving this way, but you know what we're going to drive this sucker off.

Speaker 5

Oh, I have.

Speaker 6

One of my coworkers is the official squirrel regular, because me and our other coworker in our three person team we are ADD, just says she has to bring it back together.

Speaker 5

Let's see what Mr Rogers is going to spin for us.

Speaker 8

Oh yeah, I think I watched this yesterday. He's a badass, plug it in.

Speaker 6

Plug it in, mr Rogers, how it? Works, play this I love records.

Speaker 8

I heard a different song on the one I saw. Oh yeah, I think, mr.

Speaker 6

Rogers would get down with that.

Speaker 8

That's the end of that, mr Rogers in real life was actually like this badass killer.

Speaker 6

Yeah, he was like Supermarine, like Green Beret or something.

Speaker 8

There'd be a movie like that, like a cross between Taken and Mr Rogers. He goes and kills out a whole bunch of people, you know, kills a whole bunch of people, saves his daughter and he's like it's time for the show now.

Speaker 5

Yeah, I gotta go put on my cardigan.

Speaker 8

Reminds me of Nobody Gotta change the clothes to get the blood off. That's why he really changes the clothes.

Speaker 6

Well, and he wears cardigan to hide all his tattoos. He can't do one another, Otherwise Mr Rogers is going to kill you.

Speaker 8

So he shows up to these places like, oh, it's Mr Rogers. He's like I'm here to kill you.

Speaker 6

I'm here to fuck you up, won't you be?

Speaker 5

my neighbor in hell Is anyone else looking forward to retirement Every day.

Well, I just usually go into the bathtub. It makes it easier, it does. True story now. When I was in college, I remember waking up after a day of night of stuff.

Speaker 6

Of stuff Of engaging.

Speaker 8

I'm peeing in the bathtub. I'm like could be worse.

Speaker 6

There was one time I was at a party in a hotel and there was someone puking in the toilet. The bathtub was full of jungle juice of some sort, and so I had to sit and pee on the sink in the sink.

Speaker 5

Wow, how'd you get up there?

Speaker 6

I was wearing heels, thank you. That's still it's the urge of having to go makes you do things like you know, there's that, there's that adrenaline that moms have, like where they can flip a car If their kids.

Speaker 5

I'm surprised you couldn't get up there and you just squatted down on the trash can.

Speaker 6

No, I peed in the sink. I was very proud of myself.

Speaker 8

I was thinking of squatting around the puker.

Speaker 6

No, I mean, I probably would have if she hadn't been full laying on the toilet bowl. No, that's her problem. She should have puked in the fucking sink.

Speaker 8

Why do I have pee in my hair? You did it to yourself.

Speaker 6

Kayla.

Speaker 8

Next time do not sleep upside down.

Speaker 6

Actually her name was Amber.

Speaker 7

We had a get-together at my apartment in Germany.

Speaker 5

when I was stationed there, when I was in the Army, One of our guys was blackout drunk at this party and all of a sudden I see him peeing in our potted plant.

Speaker 2

I don't even know how to enjoy my hair.

Speaker 6

Oh are they.

Speaker 2

They're smoking it.

Speaker 6

Silent. They're smoking, they're doing drugs. Well, it could have been cigarettes?

Speaker 5

I don't know.

Speaker 2

But I didn't even know he'd be so quiet.

Speaker 6

I was telling.

Speaker 2

Quiet as a church mouse.

Speaker 6

I was telling Shane that one time I was at a party at a hotel and I had to pee really bad but a girl was puking in the toilet.

Speaker 2

You peed in the bathtub.

Speaker 6

No, because the bathtub was full of jungle juice. Oh, so I hopped up and peed in the sink.

Speaker 5

Yes, and I was like, how'd she get on the sink?

Speaker 6

I told him I was wearing heels.

Speaker 4

She climbed up.

Speaker 6

How.

Speaker 5

What do you mean, how have you seen her do anything sort of acrobatic or athletic?

Speaker 6

I was real skinny back then.

Speaker 2

I saw her go from drunk to sober in a concert, and that's pretty impressive, man. So she's capable of a lot. Thank you, that's impressive. That's's capable of a lot.

Speaker 6

Thank you, that's impressive, that's the kind of she went from sober drop to sober sober blackout sober.

Speaker 2

That was impressive.

I was too young, but I knew the Zima thing because my cousin would do Zima and Green Apple Jolly. Ranchers, that was her favorite, and then I mean a long time ago, several, several years ago, they relaunched Zima. For like one summer I was at a. I was at a barbershop education weekend because I'm just as cool as you. I was at a barbershop education weekend because I'm just as cool as you, yep, and we all went to the liquor store because we're going to drink while we're there, because we're barbershoppers. And there was Zima.

He's a really nice guy, by the way, have you met him.

Speaker 6

I want to meet him, smooch I want to meet him.

Speaker 5

And motherfucker together.

Speaker 8

That guy. So okay, there's another story. Talk about small world now. Yeah, so we're doing Army of Frankensteins, we did the film festival circuit, we ended up going to Supercon in Florida.

Speaker 3

So those guys are like, yeah, let's go to Florida.

Speaker 8

And I meet Brian there from Clerks.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 8

And we're talking and stuff, we do interviews, and then I meet the comic book guys and I buy all the Cryptozoics and have them sign them. And then Brian and I would like every once in a while we'd mess each other. But then when Kiss was here or that Halloween before Kiss, I always go all out for Halloween so we all dressed up as Kiss, made a float and all that kind of stuff. That's awesome big con that they had here and brian and jay was here. Oh, and I remember I walk, was walking by and I was like, oh, there's brian. And she says you think you remember me and I was like I doubt he's like chris army of frankenstein's.

Speaker 8

Oh how cool, that's awesome so I go talk to him and stuff, and they're like he's talking to his manager. Oh yeah, he's. He's not like the paying fans or whatever. He's cool. So I go up and he's like, oh man, you, you need to go see Jay Jay's here. So I went over and didn't talk to him. He's a big Lego guy.

Speaker 8

So the other ironic thing is so we're shooting I want to say it's the Adventures of Rufus. Josh would usually shoot them, but because of the way the things were getting kind of busy, we had to get a different DP camera op. So we get this guy named Brian Villum who is shooting this movie called Ari, my Friend Robot or whatever. Okay. So we it's like, oh yeah, he's great, let's hire him. So I go to the studio one day and they're like do you realize who Brian's married to? And I said who Amy? Okay, amy, off of Chasing Amy's. And I said, oh, joy Lern Adams. How do you know her name? And I said I've seen all of her movies. And, um, so what's kind of crazy is I've actually done visual effects for one of her movies. I've been to their house and it's just so weird how you meet one person and it's it's as big as the hollywood hollywood scenes.

Speaker 8

There's a lot of people that are so connected it is it's absolutely insane six degrees of kevin bacon. It is, it's weird, so it's like yeah, I meet one and it's like I was like oh, I met Brian, and she's like I'm going to see Brian, I'm going to a convention with him, how cool. So it is kind of weird.

Speaker 2

That's fun. That's fun. I don't meet anybody. I don't really go anywhere. Yeah, they eat shit, oh no.

Speaker 6

Speaker 8

In the adult section.

Speaker 5

Yeah, through the beaded curtain. But we picked up UFC 1. 1. And they had like a I remember watching it and it would have a title that would flash, that would pop up that said only for rental store review only, like that wasn't a copy that got rented.

Speaker 8

Yeah.

Speaker 5

That was for the store to screen to see if they wanted to carry it.

Speaker 2

I guess they rent it. Huh, they would rent it out.

Speaker 5

Well, they would. They would say yeah, we like this Give us, send us like four copies or however many I guess the VHS days yeah. So we got to watch I had a separate rewinder Me and Grant watched UFC 1, probably before anybody saw that on VHS, that's cool.

Speaker 2

I'm gonna put in my new office yes move in in two weeks sweet new job uh, we got a new building new building and she's kind of a big deal. She's a hot shot. I'm not kind of a big deal, she's a hot shot.

Speaker 6

I'm not the fuck. Yeah, you are, she's a hot shot.

Speaker 8

So what can we shoot at your place?

Speaker 2

If you need baboons. If you need any monkeys Guinea pigs, if you need like a research facility.

Speaker 8

Oh, yeah, can they like shoot guns.

Speaker 2

Pew, pew. I wouldn't advise it. What if we gave them a?

Speaker 8

sword it could be dangerous.

Speaker 6

What if we gave the guinea pigs the little cocktail swords?

Speaker 5

Yeah, I do have an idea.

Speaker 6

Oh no.

Speaker 5

No, it's the one we talked about. That's so many. I don't want to give out much. I'll tell Chris when we're done, but might need a research facility oh yes, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a pretty cool idea, I think I don't know After hours. I'll run it by Chris and see.

Speaker 8

Yeah, so research facility Access after hours. We think it's funny when all the drugs are put away so that way no one gets into them.

Speaker 2

Right, or or they're, or their creepy hallways at night.

Speaker 8

So I'm going to tell you. So here's another true story. So we're shooting the first Jurassic Pet and I get a hold of. I needed like a lab. This guy's like doing research, trying to make dinosaurs come back.

Speaker 2

I could have helped you.

Speaker 8

So I get a hold of this vet veterinarian clinic and the guy says, yeah, you can use it after hours. Here's the keys.

Speaker 2

He gave me the keys.

Speaker 8

You call me when you're done. Wow, nothing was put up or anything, that's trusting. Yeah, a good thing. No one on this set is drug addicts or anything like that. I have no idea what's in there, but I was just like holy.

Speaker 2

We got morphine, we got fentanyl Dog endowners, all that.

Speaker 8

But I'm a very business-y producer, though when I'm on set I was like everybody can have fun, but we're going to follow the rules.

Speaker 6

We're not doing drugs.

Speaker 5

This is going to be a safe environment. Anybody that has any issues. Do not ingest anything you did not bring here. Don't drink that liquid.

Speaker 8

I have gotten yes, I've asked people to not come back.

Speaker 6

Oh wow, Because they haven't played nice.

Speaker 8

There's certain things things, yeah, a little less perfect than professional, you know, sometimes it's verbally sometimes it's things set on set because always like, hey, this is a like, this was a family man movie. So there's kids on set, don't use foul language. You know, don't, don't do this or that. But at the same time we're doing like a horror movie, whatever there's still. You know people think, oh, we're doing a horror movie. Is everything anything goes? No, it does not. We're still professionals. You still have people think, oh, we're doing a horror movie, is everything anything goes? No, it does not. We're still professionals. You still have to be professionals. You still don't want to have. You know, you can still get in trouble for sexual harassment, harassment and stuff like that. So it's like it's a business. You know, at the end of the day it's still entertainment, but it's still a business.

Speaker 5

And there has to be a professional. Weinstein ended up here. No, so what was fun about shooting Jurassic Pet 3 was, of course we had our script and everything. But Chris and Ryan were very like. If it makes sense to say this within there, there's room to improv a little bit.

Speaker 8

There's certain things that have to be said. Just for story, yeah, but yeah as long as you know it, especially when I'm writing for kids. It's been a while since I've been a 12-year-old boy and I've never been a 13-year-old girl. So, I try to get the gist of it out and say, okay, now say these in your words, because I've even asked my son. I was writing a script and I said time and he's like I don't even know what that is. He's like we don't do that Sorry.

Speaker 5

I interrupted you, so I'm in the green scene suit. We're filming on the street in downtown El Reno, there's people in an office building looking out at us, of course, and it's just me, and this is when Spike runs up behind me.

Speaker 8

And you don't see him at first.

Speaker 5

Yeah, and so I'm just standing there because it's like our little dark documentary crew is going to use my green suit and myself for a dinosaur they would put in like a promo kind of thing.

Speaker 8

You can't get people to watch.

Speaker 5

And so I'm acting like a dinosaur in the street and I pull down my mask, and I think the first thing I said was come on, guys, hurry up, I'm sweating my dinosaur eggs off. Yes, and they're like God, shay this is a family movie.

Speaker 8

I would have loved if kept it. Otherwise I would have kept it Because I was like, yes, this is so funny.

Speaker 2

Yes, but.

Speaker 5

It was so fun. That's funny.

Speaker 8

It was kind of so part one there's this. You know Ben Hall plays this guy. That's kind of like this mystery man and this kid gets an egg it's kind of like a little gremlin-y kind of thing and he realizes to keep it safe he needs to get it back home. So he gets it back in the woods. In part two we realize there's a portal to dinosaur land or another time or whatever. So it sets that up a little bit more. And then part three, since it's gone, things have happened twice now. In a town A documentary film crew shows up and says this is probably nothing, but we're gonna show up and just interview a few people. Maybe it'd be something. Who knows, we'll just mess around. But then they end up seeing a dinosaur, and then it's, and then it's just like, all on, now they're trying to find the dinosaurs. The kids are trying to get him back to where he goes.

Speaker 8

It's fun so good like it was my favorite um it was super cute I I really liked the script on that. I I mean not to pat myself on the back, but I had a little time so I felt, you know, with all the different stories and crossing and stuff, it's just one of those things where the delivery was due Because I had left the previous studio I was at that we did this with, so I wasn't there for all of the finishing.

Speaker 5

So in my mind there's a few things that got left out. That would have made it better, but it was still. It was still very cool, I thought.

Speaker 8

I thought the finished product, just to know that. A lot of oklahoma cast and crew on it, I think.

Speaker 5

Everyone but three, yeah, and then oklahoma that's cool, and then the work put into it in post. It's just amazing what the product that was turned out it it looks great.

Speaker 8

Yeah, it does look good um unfortunately it was the first one to not go to dvd, because covid killed dvds here and that's and that's between that and the um strikes.

Speaker 8

It's completely jacked, the movie industry right now, that sucks and it's everybody's trying to figure out what to do, because streaming is not, you know, before it, because the dvds are like, yeah, we'll give you 300, 000, we'll give you, you know, with no names in it, because we know we'll make that money back in the united states alone just off the dvd sales, right, and then we'll get it in streaming and then it'll show up. And you know, jurassic path 3 was probably I think it was in mexico. It showed on the theaters in mexico. It doesn't show in the United States cause we didn't have a big name in it, but that movie there was no DVD deal because they're like we're not putting this on DVD, cause pretty much now it's like unless it's really huge, it doesn't go to DVD.

Speaker 8

So it went straight to streaming, which I thought was a shame, because that movie made the least amount of impact when it came out compared to everything else I've done, which was heartbreaking just because of the timing of it yeah, just because it's like dvds are gone and I still I I search every now and about every couple weeks I search to see if it's been released somewhere yeah because other countries still do dvds, it's just not the united states.

Speaker 8

So I'm like, okay, eventually it may come out in the uk. I'll get a uk version of it because I have a version of every or a disc of every movie.

Speaker 5

I just think about the ages of kids that that movie would be targeted to right Name something in the movie theater that's come out in the last year that is something like that and not a cartoon, but actually shows some kids, and wasn't? It Was his name, ethan.

Speaker 7

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 5

Wasn't that like his first.

Speaker 8

It was his first movie.

Speaker 5

Oh my gosh, he was so good, he was good and to show kids today what they could possibly do.

Speaker 8

It was an adventure, for sure, and the thing I liked about it was yeah, you do have these kids, but then you have these adults. They're kind of doing dumb things too, because adults are dumb too.

Speaker 7

Yeah, they are.

Speaker 8

But what I love doing is putting jokes in. There's the stupid line where Ben Hall is coming in early to try to get there ahead of the other tracker that they hired and they're like oh, you're early. Yeah, that's my name, earl Lee. It's stupid, it's stupid. And then they had him some cash and they're like aren't you going to count it? You never count your money when you're sitting at the table. Ryan says no one's going to get that joke and I said that's not for them, no, that's for me.

Speaker 5

That's all that matters. If the kids don't understand it, I don't care. I just think of like, yes, there's been a Moana or some other animated kids cartoon movie, but there's not movies for kids, like when we were kids.

Speaker 8

Goonies, goonies, exactly I love Goonies. There's nothing like that. Kids like when we were kids Goonies, Goonies, exactly. Yeah, I love Goonies. There's nothing like that.

Speaker 5

That was close. There's nothing else. Breakfast Club.

Speaker 8

Well, you had the Monster Squad Goonies. There's a whole bunch of the Explorers. I love that movie and I was like I was that age when those came out.

Speaker 5

I'm a Gen X and I was like I was that I was that age when those came out.

Speaker 8

I was, you know, I'm an 80, I'm a gen X, but it was the idea. I remember thinking, oh man, if this was, if I could just have an adventure like this. I remember feeling that and I still, you know, I was like, as old as I am now I still love these adventures. I'd still, you know, a heartbeat would love to go on an adventure like that.

Speaker 5

There's no spy kids anymore, it's all animated stuff.

Speaker 8

Or the kids stuff is very adult now too.

Speaker 7

Yeah.

Speaker 8

There was a cartoon series. I'm not going to say what it was, but my son and I watched it. And then, in part two, everything became. You know, it had nothing to do with the story. It was like, oh, so-and-so's parents are gay. That didn't really matter. I was like, okay, cool. But then everybody had to have a flag in their room for the gay pride yeah.

Speaker 8

I mean people. I don't care what people are into, but the thing is is is like it didn't have anything to do with the easy to figure out Like my kid can figure out some of the jokes Because nowadays people do that Exactly what you're saying they're putting these heavy elements in it.

Speaker 5

Yeah, dude, make it Jurassic pet, make it Goonies, where there's not really heavy elements, but there is something about well, the Goonies, their parents were doing something.

Speaker 8

They're going to have to move, which I remember being as a kid. That was horrible. I moved every six months to three years.

Speaker 5

Yeah, it doesn't have to be something. It can be something as little as God we're going to move again.

Speaker 2

Or it shows a group of friends hanging in together Now and then.

Speaker 5

Beating the odds. The girl version of Goonies Yep.

Speaker 2

I was just about to say that.

Speaker 6

I've known him so many times.

Speaker 5

We need more of this stuff, we need more of those adventure, because that's what I think about.

Speaker 8

And I think the problem is is, like you know, my kid's 14, and my wife and I have been very adamant about him being a kid, as long as he can be a kid, and I tell him that I was. He packed up all of his Star Wars stuff, but it was because he wanted to make room for his keyboards and his Nerf guns that he likes to take apart.

Speaker 6

That's cool.

Speaker 8

But I'm just like hey, I want you to be a kid, your childhood is your shortest period You're going to have to pay bills the rest of your life, man. Yeah, and I said, you know your dad. He's a dumbass and he likes toys.

Speaker 6

Still, and I buy action figures and he drives sometimes. I love lego, I love lego. And of course I only buy harry potter and lord of the rings lego. But I'm so glad we're the same kind of nerd I have magic wands in my office.

Speaker 8

You know that kind of stuff, but um wait?

Speaker 6

who do you have wait? Very important question.

Speaker 8

Well, I have I have the one I have, malfoy's, dad's one, but I also. But the other two ones I have are the ones from the Adventures of the Rufus. Adventures of Rufus the Fantastic.

Speaker 7

Pet movie.

Speaker 1

I wrote that had wizards in it.

Speaker 8

Those ones are. I have props in my office too. I take everything and it's like, ooh, that's cool. I have a foot from Jurassic Games. From this dead body, I have a foot. I used to wear it as a necklace when we were on set.

Speaker 6

Sorry, I got sidetracked here now, but it's it's letting your, letting your son be a kid for as long as you can be a kid as long as you can, but don't forget, when you're an adult, what it was like to have that no-transcript. Wow the world is so large and now I can do it, and now it's mine, but don't but it's also to remember don't lose it as you get older.

Speaker 8

Yeah.

Speaker 5

Yeah, because I got teary-eyed. I had a few tears drop when I got to see the Goonies in the movie theater.

Speaker 8

Oh yeah, yeah, they did like a fan event. I saw that theater when it came out.

Speaker 5

Yeah, I did too. I had my wallet, my.

Speaker 8

Velcro wallet stolen off the video game that I was playing. If you're out there and listening you better give it back. Better watch you.

Speaker 5

I had $7 in there, that's probably something cool like He-Man or something.

Speaker 8

It's probably something cool like.

Speaker 5

He-Man or something He-Man. But I think, what are kids when they get older? I wonder what movie will give them the feeling I have when I watch the Goonies today.

Speaker 8

Well, my kid has that about the Goonies.

Speaker 6

I showed him the.

Speaker 8

Goonies I showed him Stand by Me. Good, I wait until he's the right age and stuff, but it's kind of interesting the first pet movie. We get an email from this lady that says she has a younger son and he pretty much has a hospital bed at the house. He has constant care. And she wrote us a message saying because of that movie I get an hour and a half with my husband, the stuff that we're not having to worry about our son's needs all the time because he's so engrossed into it.

Speaker 8

He just loves it and he watches it every day and that's he says, and she didn't mean it as a bad thing, but it was like that's the, that's the moment we get to feel normal.

Speaker 6

Yeah. So we got a hold of tyler, who was the, the kid, and then, and he recorded a video message and we sent him some stuff I'll get out of here I'm gonna cry that's silly, but yeah, it's those moments it's.

Speaker 8

It's kind of crazy because like I consider these low budget movies, like I can make an impact on anybody oh, they do though so the first one of the movies we we did was called gremlin.

Speaker 8

Originally was called give it to someone you love. I called it std, so in france it was called the box, which I always thought what should have been the title anyway. But um, I think we're in branson. My wife was telling somebody what I did and she's like what, what are the movies you do? And she says gremlin. She says oh, my husband loves that movie. I said sorry, I was a little kid when that movie not that, gremlin.

Speaker 8

It's not the christmas movie she said no, no, no, the one where the creature comes out of the box she knew she says my husband loves that movie. How?

Speaker 5

funny. Well, it was so for me to go to a family function and my little niece, jane ann, is so shy that she won't tell me yeah, that is her favorite movie, yeahress Up at Three. Yeah, but she's told her mom, told the grandma.

Speaker 6

I love it. Can we watch that dinosaur movie with Uncle Shane?

Speaker 5

And then Taylor's kids going. Oh, we love it. We love Uncle Shane's on the TV.

Speaker 2

They have the posters in their room.

Speaker 8

And you don't really think about it. I was driving my son to school. We drive him in the morning, he rides a bus home, so that way he doesn't have to get up so early and I was like, oh, I'm just gonna work from home today, I'll just drive you in. And I don't remember what we were talking about. And I said something about um, because I don't even it doesn't even register with me about. You know the impact. Sometimes I'm just too busy, I'm just working making more right. And I said something about not being famous, or whatever my son says you are I was like he said you're famous.

Speaker 8

He says I've. I've been to these events, I've seen it. I see how people react with you and stuff. It never dawned on me as because, I don't ever, I don't consider myself. I always say, well, I'm oklahoma, famous people in oklahoma know who I am, know who I am. But um, and that's and not everybody, you know, it's just in the film community, but it's just, it's just. I never thought of my son looking at me like that like making impact.

Speaker 6

That's so cool that is that's so cool, and what a cool thing like to know that you create things that your your kid, is proud of as well yeah like whether he at the same time shy, because he doesn't want to tell anybody.

Speaker 8

Like my wife I usually throw him in everything, yeah, and drastic pet too. He's the voice of the dinosaur. Oh, that's so cool. So my wife is always like, do you tell your friend? But he doesn't want to tell his friends because there's like you know they might make fun of me or kind of thing. Because it has happened with people in the past. I know you know ozzy osbourne's kids were made fun of a lot of times so look at him.

Speaker 5

Yeah, so weirdo. Who was the other? It was the kid that played, uh, anakin in the prequels oh yeah, he got teased a lot so he just doesn't.

Speaker 8

He doesn't really tell his close friends no, or they find out when they come to my house or my what I do, because I don't usually tell anybody unless they ask or what I was like I make movies locally, but um, yeah, it's just kind of interesting because I never really saw it that way.

Speaker 5

Yeah, to my son, that's so cool my son, um, my and my oldest son. He didn't get to go to the premiere weekend. We had uh for brindley and taliquan muskogee, but he got to go to jurassic pet 3 premiere and just uh for them to see also that for me it's taken me 30 years to get here, but I wanted to do that when I was 14, 15, 16 years old, oh yeah but didn't know how to do it and I and I've told the story before, but I uh submitted myself to john casablanca's, oh yeah as did every, as did every my wife did

Speaker 8

too, at one point.

Speaker 5

And they called me in and I went and I had to do a cold read of a peanut butter commercial which sucked, because at the time I really hated peanut butter.

Speaker 3

I can't even get excited for this yeah, you spread that peanut butter on that brand. I was like it's a different movie. Yeah, creamy Junkie brand.

Speaker 5

Yeah, dreamy junky, but never, never got a call back from them you know, and so I was just like, okay, it's not so, it's taken me this long, but at least it's shown my kids that you're an overnight success.

Speaker 8

It took 30 years it's a long night.

Speaker 5

It doesn't matter how long, it's a long night, like it doesn't matter how long it's going to take you to realize one of your dreams, do it I always say, is if you're still alive, there's time absolutely there's some.

Speaker 8

There's some fantastic actors that started acting when they're, you know, retired. They're like I don't have anything else to do. But I think what's cool too is, like you know, I want my kid to have, and my wife, if I die, before her. But I want to have the good memories of me too. But what's cool is there's like a legacy and I'm just like, oh man, maybe someday down the road it really kind of kicks off or it makes an impact on somebody you know. Absolutely what's cool is my brother's in Gremlin.

Speaker 6

That's awesome.

Speaker 8

He was a mortician. He's passed away now, but he was a mortician and he's in Army of Frankensteins. I had him and my nephew. Can we kill him? Oh that's awesome though. So what's cool is there's my brother.

Speaker 6

Yeah, always there and he's always there.

Speaker 8

Oh, I've told my family hey look, if we can actually do and can make, make unholy alliance, everyone's going to be as. Oh yeah, my wife is in everything too, yeah, so like in jurassic pit 2, they're in the bank when it gets gassed my son and my wife, so it's like they're oh, that's hilarious, they're always there, which is kind of cool. I always think about this long term too. When my wife and I are gone, my son will still have that yeah, that's really cool yeah you're right.

Speaker 6

I think the legacy of it is really important. I think that's really important about art in general and just the arts community, whatever you know, whatever section of it that you're part of. I think it's so important that people, if they have that passion, if they have that thing that they want to do and they want to make a mark, even if it's a tiny little blip yeah, being able to do that, because you do leave a legacy at some point in your art and it doesn't matter, you don't have to be an A-list director or an.

Speaker 8

A-list actor or the big you know. You don't have to be Bill Gates. Yeah, you know, make a difference in your technology company or whatever.

Speaker 2

People will remember me on. Well, I'm just going to she also has a plaque.

Speaker 8

Sorry I kind of got deep here.

Speaker 6

No, we like that too, dram, because we want to talk about shit Especially.

Speaker 5

Oklahomans, you need to go onto your Amazon Prime, you need to look up Jurassic, pet 3. And there's probably other movies that have been filmed solely in Oklahoma.

Speaker 8

There's so many.

Speaker 5

And go watch them. Look up Adam Hampton, him and the Outsider guys. Watch them Look up. Adam Hampton, him and the.

Speaker 8

Outsider guys. They make movies here. Kyle Harris he's done some fantastic stuff here and luckily we've done some post work on them. That's awesome, like Out of Exile Reverence the Huntsman that's going to be out soon. We did some VFX and stuff.

Speaker 6

I was going to say Out of Exile and Reverence. We've watched, You've watched.

Speaker 5

Reverence isn't out yet. No, I've watched Out of Exile.

Speaker 6

Out of Exile. That's what it is. But Reverence. I think maybe there's a lot of fantastic people here in Oklahoma.

Speaker 8

They just don't even realize it. Just everybody stays under the radar.

Speaker 5

You might see me as a police officer.

Speaker 8

Yeah, that's a good movie. By the way, the script is fantastic.

Speaker 6

So when you guys had like the film day or whatever up at the Capitol. So I work for a school district and, uh, my superintendent is a super casual dude and normally he's in like gym shorts and a t-shirt tucked into his gym shorts. I can't fix it, but I happened to see him that day in the building and he was like suited up, like he was full, full suit, like ready to go. Wow, I was like, oh my god, you're dressed all fancy. And he's like, yeah, we were up the capitol talking to whatever about some education bills, um, and I was like, oh cool, my husband's up there for film day, whatever, uh, and he was like god, those motherfuckers are loud yeah, the problem is and this is my complaint it's the film and music office.

Speaker 8

Yeah, so they always have a live band playing, but everybody's there to network also and talk, so everybody starts getting louder and it's just so much noise. I think I was there for a couple um hours but I was like my personal feeling was like can the music stuff be like a floor lower?

Speaker 8

literally not on the rotunda not on the same floor as everybody else trying to do their booths and talking about, yeah, the industry, because we're all yelling at each other. At some point I'm just like you know I'm talking to people's ears, they're talking to my ears and after a while I'm just like this is when the part kicks in where I'm like I don't want to be around people anymore, I'm leaving.

Speaker 5

I was there for maybe 11 and a half minutes and that time was split because I was in there, for I was got in there the first time, made some rounds, saw Lisa Nidel, saw Cody Mayo, some other people. I got so hot.

Speaker 3

I gotta go outside.

Speaker 1

I'm sweating, so I go outside.

Speaker 5

I'm cooling off.

Speaker 1

I'm waiting for. Kenny.

Speaker 5

Kenny Shavers to to come up and had some shirts to give to him and to come up, kenny, kenny Wayne had some shirts to give to him and he shows up. So we go back in. I do another, maybe five minutes, and it's like oh loud, there's no AC in there and I'm like too many people. It's hot, I'm out of here.

Speaker 8

It's fantastic, though, because my wife has a communications degree, so she was on the last season that John Ferguson was doing Count Gregor.

Speaker 7

Oh cool, she played Rhoda.

Speaker 8

Rhoda and she'd flirt with John and stuff. It was great. But back then it was no pay. It was like my wife used to model too and she was like, oh so you're going to model for this company or whatever and she would get the bathing suits. Or she would be on a show and she would get the wardrobe. Or a $100 coupon to go eat at Crab Shack.

Speaker 2

Dang, not my wife she a model. Yeah.

Speaker 8

True story. She actually was, when we were in college, the Girls of the Big 12 or whatever it was at the time. Oh yeah, so she had. She was actually down to the final five to be the.

Speaker 6

OU girl, ok, smoke show.

Speaker 8

But she comes home and she's like I asked him if you could be there for our photo. When I do the photo shoot, I'm like, yeah, they're not going to call you back because I don't want to mess with boyfriends and husbands, but anyway, sorry, single fuck. I'm like, yeah, they're not going to call you back Because I don't want to mess with boyfriends and husbands, but anyway, sorry, she's a single fuck, fuck it. No, well, she's at home with me. That's all I'm saying. But it used to not really be an industry. That's why I didn't think I could do it, and things have changed. The music office has really helped. I mean getting.

Speaker 8

We've been making movies now for 15 years yeah maybe a little longer crap, I don't remember now but, um, you know they're really doing a push and stuff.

Speaker 8

The only thing that's going on is every state's now doing it yeah you know, and now la is trying to get their people back, but, um, it doesn't really matter. I mean, if it does, we just keep making stuff here. And there's more than enough stuff and more than enough people that have their faces glued to their phones for some stinking reason. That's the thing. So I was going to give you another tangent, being a Gen X when I was in college and stuff it wasn't by FaceTime or whatever. You know, we met. I actually bought a house my junior year. My wife and I did. I was like I bet you I could buy a house for as much as we're paying rent and I, accidentally, I found a dude that inherited a house. I bought this house close to the stadium, like eight blocks from the stadium. It was like 40 grand. There's an old house, three bedrooms, one bath, I think, and uh, recently the house was like four hundred thousand dollars but anyway so people came to our house and we would drink beer, smoke weed and talk.

Speaker 6

You did drugs. I'm like God. Where's the beat, by the way?

Speaker 8

So it was funny. My aunt was visiting one time and she had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and that's all she was treating it with and she was out. So I said let me cover your back. Called one of my friends, I'm like dude, I'm going to come over. Called one of my friends and was like dude, I'm going to come over. And I just remember that was actually the first time I ever smoked weed was with my aunt. She showed me how to roll them and stuff Nice. But I just remember her lighting up and after a while she's like oh man, I love college campuses. They have the best weed.

Speaker 4

That's amazing, that's fantastic.

Speaker 8

But it's just. Yeah, it's just, things have changed in general. You know my my son plays uh vr games with his friends which is cool because his cousin lives in tennessee, so he can do that but it's just that connection, you know technology yeah, technology's kind of changed it. I mean I I use my phone a lot, but it's just like I try not to um you know, if I go to the theater, I'm off.

Speaker 2

Yeah, you know, at a certain time I turn it off.

Speaker 8

I'm like, like you know, I'll answer you if I'm awake, but if I'm sleeping you're dead to me.

Speaker 7

You know.

Speaker 8

If there's an emergency, I'll find out when I wake up. There's nothing I can do about three in the morning. So, um, it's just, and I think that's kind of changed the way movies are too.

Speaker 6

Yeah.

Speaker 8

You instead of actually the theater experience. I love, I love going to the movie theater, and especially when I was a kid it wasn't something like you know. It was like once a month or every two months. You know, hey, dad got paid. We're going to drive to the city and go watch. We're going to go watch Never Ending Story, or whatever it was, it's going to cost $17. And we're going to go eat.

Speaker 7

Yeah, it was $2.75 does to get in, especially since we lie about our age.

Speaker 5

We're going for that good dinner.

Speaker 6

We're going to Long John.

Speaker 5

Silver Hardee's.

Speaker 8

Hardee's, hardee's, we're going to go to Hardee's.

Speaker 2

We're going to Burger man.

Speaker 8

We're riding in the back of his Volkswagen Rabbit. My dad would flip the seats back and we would put pillows in there and books and comic books and we'd just unbelt it in. You know.

Speaker 5

You know what streaming has really killed as well? It's the dollar movies. Oh yeah, yeah, like there used to be a few dollar movies around.

Speaker 8

There was one in Norman there was Robinson Crossing. I think there was one by Labagette, there was a Labagette, there was a Labagette. And so one winter day I was like, oh, we got 20 bucks. You know, being poor college kids, so something like that, we go and watch two movies. One of them was Rugrats movie.

Speaker 8

Oh yeah, I didn't care what I was like, yeah, I could watch all three of those. So we go get like their large Coke sodas, which was like unlimited refills and popcorn. So then we go the La Baguette, we get Fettuccine, Alfredo, and then we go back and watch two more. We spent the whole day at the theaters with hardly any money, that's awesome Ten bucks, Twenty bucks yeah.

Speaker 5

That's excellent, not anymore, you can't get out of a movie theater now without spending a hundred bucks.

Speaker 8

A hundred dollars on concessions. Oh yeah, A hundred dollars to get in.

Speaker 5

Me and the crappy seats, though.

Speaker 8

Now it's heated and cooled recliner seats and they'll bring the food to you. So now it's more of an event, but now it costs more because of it. But I think that's every theater I see now is going to that, where it's almost like going out to eat at a nice restaurant.

Speaker 5

You're going to spend $100 on hot dogs oh yeah, yeah and then regret the movie that you watched.

Speaker 6

And that's the thing. You're not putting out, any good shit, like when we went to see Sinners and we went to the director's suite Because, again, recliners Bring me food, I will be very happy.

Speaker 5

No kids.

Speaker 6

Even though.

Speaker 5

Sinners probably no kids.

Speaker 7

But you never know.

Speaker 6

Yeah, there's kids at uh, deadpool. So we were. We were just so oh dogs freaking out mina. We were just so glad that we spent the time, we spent the money and the movie was so good that it was like, okay, that was well worth whatever time like I'll spend money. I'll spend money for a movie that was worth it whereas there's been other movies that we've sat through and we're like I don't feel compelled, like I would rather have just watched that at home. Yeah, what's this?

Speaker 8

point. What's the disney movie about the house? Um crap, what was it called? Incanto yeah, I. I don't know what it was, but when I saw the trailer I had no desire to watch that movie. I've never watched that movie oh, it's great, it wasn.

Speaker 6

You should watch it it wasn't compelling for me but that's how I feel.

Speaker 8

I see a lot of trailers now and I'm just like I just don't care. Snow White didn't care.

Speaker 6

No, absolutely not From day one. Yeah, I don't care.

Speaker 8

How to Train your Dragon the live-action version. I won't watch it. I actually want to watch that movie.

Speaker 6

Oh I the live action how to Train your Dragon and this is a hot. Take the kid that voices Hiccup.

Speaker 8

Oh yeah.

Speaker 6

I love his voice, hiccup.

Speaker 8

Yeah.

Speaker 6

And Shane Haight absolute. What's that kid's name?

Speaker 5

Jay something.

Speaker 8

I know who you're talking about, or?

Speaker 6

a shell or something. I love that guy, I love his voice.

Speaker 8

He's got a great voice.

Speaker 6

But he's not the voice of Hiccup in the live action and I'm like I of Hiccup in the live action and I'm like I can't Sorry. Well, first of all, his voice is delightful and it bothers me because but you know you were talking about- it sounds like my grandma hated Steve Martin.

Speaker 8

She said she would watch him and he would just make her nervous all over.

Speaker 6

I don't mind him in a live, other movies he's done his voice did not match the voice I wanted for hiccup that yeah, oh see, I thought it was perfect for hiccup I thought it was good too but another so whiny and like oh you were talking about how you got teary-eyed when we went to see goonies in theater and how like really powerful that was. So I am a disney kid. Disney movies are my favorite thing in the whole world, and so all of these live action remakes and stuff I've been pretty like well, it's a.

Speaker 8

It's a dream work.

Speaker 6

So that's fair. But like all these for for the Disney movies that have been these like remakes, I've been really hesitant about most of them.

Speaker 8

I haven't seen any of them because I don't care either. I love the cartoons.

Speaker 6

The one and my favorite movie ever is Beauty and the Beast, and I was so nervous when we went to see the live action because I was like, I mean Emma Watson, 100 percent.

Speaker 7

I'm totally in.

Speaker 6

And I cry. I'm a crier anyway, but like, as soon as the opening music started, it was, it visually matched the cartoon and it made me weep. I was so happy that, like, ok, okay, they haven't messed it up from the beginning, um, and I think that's the only live action that I feel like really did it well. But still, I have only watched the live action one time because I can't like yeah I loved it.

Speaker 6

It was great, it was worth the time, it was a great remake. But if I'm gonna watch it, I'm gonna watch the original. But I had that same like great nostalgic feeling where after that I wasn't worried about if they were gonna mess it up yeah, down the road, but I feel like most of the other live actions just really fuck up the whole feel of it. You know I'm trying to think about lilo and stitch where I've gotten teary-eyed.

Speaker 8

It's kind of funny because um like when I watch, stand by me now yeah, at the end that river is actually gone oh, that hurts you know that actually that gets me teary-eyed every time, because he's, he's not. You know, he was such a great talent and it's just that's bad things, but it's just.

Speaker 8

But there's. There's sometimes I watch movies, I'm just, I catch myself and I don't know if it's the thing getting older and you that, and I think part of that's as a writer. Someone says how do you, how do you write different voices? Well, I've moved around so much, I've met so many people, I watch people when I'm in stores and things. Sure, so you, I kind of have a big variety to pull from. I never try to make every character like oh, this is so-and-so and this is so-and-so, but I think it's the point where you've seen enough and you felt enough where you can kind of convey that.

Speaker 8

I remember in um the adventures of rufus, yeah, um ryan's told me. He says oh man, I really love the part with the grandparents or the grandmother saying about love, her kind of like, and what happened with her and her husband. It wasn't, it was, it was never verbatim, but what the image I had in my head was my grandparents. So there's moments like that that do get to me.

Speaker 8

Or when I'm you know, I'm, yeah, I watch something, it's just like I don't know what it is, and sometimes it's the weirdest things, it just it just gets you well, especially when I'm, when I'm watching something I've seen that's old and like the goonies, and I'm just like when I'm watching that movie, most of the time I'm boom, I'm 13 years old again, or whatever it was yeah, no, I go right back to it I can even hear a cindy lopper song yeah and it takes me right back to the goonies I always tell people too, there's two videos.

Speaker 8

I remember when the videos were out cindy lopper did of that, good enough and I used to remember getting an argument with people like there's two videos to that? No, there's not, because they only showed the first. There's actually two videos of the same song the first half of the movie and the second half of the movie.

Speaker 5

Yeah, that's. I may have to watch that this week.

Speaker 8

I love that movie.

Speaker 6

They're doing a Lord of the Rings fan fest at Flick's Brewhouse.

Speaker 8

I saw that Tomorrow, today and tomorrow I want to go so bad. Lord of the Rings Now that's another book. I remember I was in fifth grade and my dad was a huge Lord of the Rings fan, so I'd look at his art books and stuff and I remember it was like time for a book report. The teacher says what are you doing? I said I'm doing the Fellowship of the Ring. No, it was the Hobbit.

Speaker 2

The Hobbit.

Speaker 8

She's like are you sure? Because all the other classmates are doing like 50 page books, You're?

Speaker 6

doing like a 500. I was about to say Boxcar Kids or Bigsters Club.

Speaker 8

But I loved it. But those moments I remember. When Jurassic Park came out, I was going to school here at OU. My wife and I went to the theater. Everything you know Tim Burton movie came out. We saw it, you know like all these big movies came out and as soon as that movie the credits started coming up, I leaned over to her and I said now someone can make a fantastic Lord of the Rings movie.

Speaker 6

Oh yeah.

Speaker 8

I said the technology is now there, that's awesome. And then it was years later. Then they finally did it. It's extended versions and I know they're not like the books, but it's just like. Oh, there's just something I love, even the, even the one that's named Amazon, where people like, oh, it's not good, it's like I love it for what it is. Absolutely, it's fantastic.

Speaker 5

I can't wait for the Gollum movie to come out, you know oh my gosh and, and I also I wish more movies would try to do as as much as possible practical effects oh yeah over so much cgi yeah, what's crazy.

Speaker 8

I don't remember which one of the alien movies it was that came out. It wasn't the newest one, it was one before that and I remember going holy crap, that alien looks amazing. So I started to pull it all up and I was like that was practical. They did so much practice and we try to do practical when possible too, because doing CG and VFX afterwards sometimes it's there's certain things it's like okay, we're going to change the sky, Twisters, they obviously change the sky.

Speaker 7

There's no way there's no way they found that many tornadoes to shoot.

Speaker 6

It's always better to get practical for sure, for sure, and when we I mean real vampires, I mean you're better off finding real vampires, zombies, I mean, they're easy to find, yeah I mean go to walmart around the world. They are underrepresented. I mean truly truly, though, like the Snow White, remake the whole hubbub about like why didn't you use actors for the dwarves instead of CGI-ing all of the dwarves?

Speaker 8

Well, I think originally they did, and then there was some backlash, did they?

Speaker 8

Oh, I didn't know, I saw some footage with people. I don't know if it was fake or not, but it's kind of the whole. I don't know it was fake or not, but it's, it's kind of the whole. Um, I don't know. It's very interesting because everybody wants to, you know. Oh, I want to make sure that I'm representing everybody or whatever. So it's like the whole harry potter thing I've been seeing, where people are so pissed that snape, you know, is black. My only thing is is when they first when I had first heard about it they're gonna they said we're gonna make one season per book and it's going to be absolutely faithful to the books, because the movies weren't.

Speaker 6

Yeah Cool.

Speaker 8

So I kind of understand that, but at the same time it's it's like um yeah, I mean, it's just someone's vision, or whatever.

Speaker 6

Yeah, Well and like. So I'm a read a lot and I'm typically a. Of course, the book is always better than the movie. Yeah, the one. The one place that I really messed up in that whole like thing was I never read the harry potter books oh yeah at first because I read them after the fact I did too.

Speaker 6

I well, because I wasn't a fantasy person. Actually, you were talking about reading lord of the rings or the hobbit. I tried reading the hobbit it's not an easy read and I couldn't do it. Like my brain, doesn't world build that way?

Speaker 8

like I don't have that great, well, he's also he he like if you see, if you read the first version of the hobbit, yeah, and then probably the newest version, sure it's way longer because he kept adding backstories and stuff like that.

Speaker 6

So I mean, they were in lord of the rings. The well, in the books of lord of the rings there's like 9 000 pages of just the ents talking. Yeah, it's dumb.

Speaker 5

But anyway, do you read much?

Speaker 8

no, she doesn't read me either I'm she's looking at us right now like shut up, fucking books I'm moving my element.

Speaker 6

I'll read menus looking at the pictures doesn't count as but so I fell in love with the movies for harry potter first. So then when I went back and read the books I was like I mean the books are great, but also like but you're gonna see why.

Speaker 8

Like originally, harry reached snape. When he's getting his robes fitted, yeah. Not when he's at the castle, yes. So at the same time, I'm like I understand why.

Speaker 6

As a movie maker, I understand why they did this cinematically for sure, and so I could appreciate like the books were almost like a like a bonus version yeah of the movies at that point. But so, as they're talking about this show and doing all these different recastings, for me I'm like well, alan rickman is the only snape that will ever be oh yeah, he's dead but at the same time, I I do want to watch a series that's faithful, because I would.

Speaker 8

As much as I love lord of the rings and I love all those guys, yep, I would be down if someone said we're gonna remake lord of the rings and the hobbits, but we're gonna stick to the books.

Speaker 8

I don't want that I know some people be like, oh, they'd be boring, be like, but I'm that kind of nerd, you know. But it's kind of interesting too, because I love hitchhiker, galaxy, yeah. So and what sucked is, I didn't know Douglas Adams had died when that one came out in like was it 2000 or something like that. I'm watching the credits or it being for Douglas, I'm like what?

Speaker 6

What do you mean?

Speaker 8

But I was like man, this is kind of different from the book, but what I looked up in his case, he was very hands-on for that movie and he made those changes.

Speaker 6

he wanted those changes and I think that's really cool for an author to play such a part in a cinematic remake or a cinematic production, so it was up to him to do it so he understands them. The cinematic choices, like you said, like I understand why cinematically, why that? Choice we made. So it's cool when a when a writer gets to do that, okay, whatever Fucking farts and whatnot, yeah.

Speaker 3

Fart or rude.

Speaker 6

What.

Speaker 4

Dirty bitch. There it is. How about?

Speaker 5

that All right. We got too wholesome.

Speaker 8

We got too wholesome. When I make a movie, though, that's the thing that's always in my mind. I never want. I always want to represent the real world. Yeah so it's like I I intentionally, intentionally and not intentionally, but I always look for the best actors. Yeah, not the race.

Speaker 6

Oh yeah, for sure.

Speaker 8

So I remember when we did Jurassic Pet 2, but it's also being like, sensitive to the subjects so when we did Jurassic Pet 2, the two main bad guys were black. So we had this and it sucks to have. You know, and some people may agree with me, you shouldn't even have that conversation. But it was like will it look bad? You know? Would we be saying, oh, stereotypical, whatever. So I remember talking to the casting agent and she said I said I just want to kind of throw this past you. And I said I don't want to come out wrong because I'm not. You know, I don't want to ever appear. I don't want to come out wrong because I'm not. You know, I don't want to ever appear. I don't want anybody's feelings to ever be hurt, you know. But I was like I don't want these. You know, I don't want anybody to look bad on this. And she's and then she just said are they the?

Speaker 6

best actors for it and I said, yes, they are God, they were my favorite little characters in the whole.

Speaker 8

But that's the thing it is like I also wanted to be aware because I even told the guys. I said, hey, you know, you know the gist of these scenes. Go with it, kind of like you guys, and they were hilarious. But I said, if there's something written I said, as a white guy I haven't lived in your shoes If there's something they've written that you might think is offensive, please tell me. Or if there's conversation, this movie to you that seems offensive, let me know, and I want to remove it because I don't want that right, absolutely, it's funny so when shane did the, when they did the table read for unholy alliance.

Speaker 6

There's a scene that's a flashback to um, to the bachelorette party or whatever a girl I mean, I read it and I know his mind. So as I'm reading it, I'm hearing shane like telling this story. I didn't even think about it and then someone gave him feedback like hey, you should really have a woman write that part right there. Just that was definitely a dude.

Speaker 8

Yeah, trying to tell a woman's story I write it as a placeholder because I'm not a kid. I do the same thing yeah, so it was so.

Speaker 6

And then when Shane shared that with me, I was like oh yeah, actually that is not at all how a woman would tell that story.

Speaker 8

Well, when I write a script I wrote this Hallmark script and I write I always start out when I'm doing the treatment this character, this is who they are kind of a little quick. You know, neur hungry. And I remember some point down the script I realized that's not what she would do, because that's not who she is yeah um, and it's remembering that you're kind of, rules are set up for your characters.

Speaker 8

So I wrote a movie that's gonna be shot in um, the uae oh cool this summer and it's about um, during the desert storm kind of era in the 90s and but the movie is about a woman who's in the marines. Oh wow, I'm not. I haven't been the marines, I'm not a woman and I wasn't one of the 90s. But that's part of it is doing the research, so I knew, I knew how the military was at one point, so like for her to have that kind of ranking that she had in the story. And there's a back history with the marines not accepting women. They can.

Speaker 8

Basically they call them walking mattresses yep so it's like trying to be true to you, know whoever you're trying to write, and but I always like say, hey, you know, this is, this is, this is only my perspective. You know, I'm a white guy. This is is all I know. Even when I see things that happen to other people, it's still not me experiencing it, so I don't really know. I try to have empathy and sympathize with somebody, but I don't know until I've been in someone's shoes on anything. So I don't know what it is to be a 13-year-old girl or a 30-year-old. You know someone that's Hispanic or whatever.

Speaker 7

Yeah.

Speaker 8

And that's, that's kind of the fine lines, because I never liked anybody. I never disliked anybody because of race or color, whatever I just. If I disliked anybody, it was just because of them as a person.

Speaker 6

You know they are trash. Yes, An asshole is an asshole.

Speaker 8

Yeah, because that's not how I was raised. I mean to tell you the truth. I didn't even know racism until I moved to Oklahoma.

Speaker 6

That's fair.

Speaker 8

Period.

Speaker 6

That's fair.

Speaker 8

I remember going home and it's like Mom, what is this word? She's like don't ever say that.

Speaker 6

Don't say that I was just telling this story the other day that I asked my dad one time when I was little, we were jumping on the trampoline and I said, dad, what's a chigger? Because, my friend Sarah had chigger bites Right and he did not hear chigger. And the only time my dad has ever. He popped me in the mouth really quick. I was starting to cry. I was like, oh the bugs, why are the bugs bad? And he's like, oh shit, I thought you daddy's gonna buy you an ice cream cone and a toy.

Speaker 6

Let's go exactly, and he's like I'm so sorry, I thought I thought you said another word, uh, so there's another word that sounds like that, and we don't say that word, but like chiggers or bugs, sorry, sorry.

Speaker 8

I think part of that's too from being a military kid. I have an aunt that's Chinese. I have an aunt that's Korean. My dad, we always. It was crazy. It was never until I got to Oklahoma that I realized what racism was. But just being a kid Got really deep here.

Speaker 2

I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 8

You got to be top ten in something, Not education.

Speaker 2

So no, that's not it.

Speaker 8

But you know, overall it's a good place to live. A lot of nice people here it's cheap and we're polite. I do. That's the thing is I hear here, and they want to help.

Speaker 6

Yeah.

Speaker 8

I said generally we do want to help each other. I mean, it's not always the news, but yes, we were.

Speaker 6

We took a big family vacation to Pagosa Springs and all of us girls went grocery shop in the first day that we were there, and some lady and her teenage daughter.

Speaker 5

Just to the.

Speaker 7

Walmarts.

Speaker 6

Lady and her teenage daughter, you know, walking down the aisle and the lady sneezes and I said, oh, bless you. And the lady was like thanks.

Speaker 8

Get away from me, that's fine.

Speaker 6

Well then the teenage daughter was like did that lady just say bless you? So weird. I'm like what the fuck do you mean? What?

Speaker 5

Where is it normal that you don't say that when someone sneezes Anywhere, anywhere else?

Speaker 12

It's else it's not normal.

Speaker 8

I don't know, it's kind of funny we go to branson a lot, like I said, um, we absolutely love it. So every other year I get season passes, the silver dollar city, which makes me take time off, so I usually take a long weekend and um mean is excited too.

Speaker 8

I always, I always say I don't mean this in a bad way, but I say silver dollar city is the hillbilly disneyland, and I mean that absolutely in a positive way. I love the, the place, we love the area and I'm just like, yes, I could be a hillbilly 100%.

Speaker 6

You're so right. That is hillbilly business. We've been three hours. I gotta go soon. Ding dang.

Speaker 8

Is there a time limit on this?

Speaker 2

I got a movie to go to man, what movie are you going to?

Speaker 6

Sinners no.

Speaker 8

Until.

Speaker 6

Speaker 8

I went to the. I went to a movie once. It was like my wife and I would just go all the time. It was like, oh, there's a movie called Dust Till Dawn, quentin Tarantino oh, titties and Vampires loved.

Speaker 8

No, they had knew nothing about it. I just like, I love Pulp Fiction, so like, oh, like, oh, let's go check it out. And I remember watching it and going, okay, yeah, it's a gritty, shoot them up, you know whatever thing. And then they get to the bar and then there's Cheech Marin out there going we got you know his menu of boobs. We got. Yeah, I can't remember what it is, but then I remember when the vampires showed up I was just like, oh, this is fun.

Speaker 8

That. That's cool. I remember it was like driving home going. That was not expected. What did we just watch? I started to make one movie and I thought you know what? Screw this, let's make a vampire movie.

Speaker 2

Let's make a scary fucking movie, a raunchy movie. I think it's putting fucking Tarantino. I know what I want.

Speaker 5

Here's why Unholy Alliance needs to get made Ruby. It's because we need more movies that are super entertaining. Entertaining, where you can just go into the movie theater, turn your brain off, yeah, and just sit down and say I just want to laugh at something ridiculous and go on a fun ride.

Speaker 8

I mean, yeah, I can't think of any other movie where you guys want to get killed, the butt plug or the american flag.

Speaker 6

I mean sure, I think both of those things are as patriotic as you can get. It's America right there. It's America. It's America, got damn, that's American.

Speaker 5

American flag Butt plugs and American flag Beer butt plugs, guns.

Speaker 8

And boobs. Don't forget boobs and beer.

Uh, we're producing a movie called jurassic west. It's as bonkers as you can possibly imagine. Shooting that, probably in the may. I mean imagine a western with dinosaurs I'm in total sense sounds like a ride um, I put another movie in for the rebate. That's um a dystopian, futuristic movie that I want to shoot, all on an LED stage, that'd be, awesome and some other projects kind of just floating around.

Speaker 8

I always say there's a you know, we're an airport and there's a ton of planes circling around and they're just kind of waiting their turn to come crashing down. So yeah, it's kind of crazy, it's absolutely nuts. I mean we've been on our own company now for just a little bit over a year and it's absolutely nuts. I mean we've been on our own company now for just a little bit over a year and the opportunities and projects that are coming up are pretty mind-boggling, I think. So there'll be some cool opportunities for Oklahoma actors and crew for sure.
