00:25.495 --> 00:26.056
[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.

00:26.156 --> 00:37.030
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been wanting to talk about this as a documentary guy, um, these, but I figured what better way to do this than an October during the, uh, month that he was actually born.

00:37.491 --> 00:37.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

00:38.031 --> 00:38.873
[SPEAKER_00]: That's so exciting.

00:38.913 --> 00:42.437
[SPEAKER_00]: His birthday was what last week, I think you said, uh, yeah.

00:43.158 --> 00:44.079
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no.

00:44.099 --> 00:45.101
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not last week.

00:45.121 --> 00:46.502
[SPEAKER_01]: It's actually October 31st.

00:46.943 --> 00:47.564
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's right.

00:47.644 --> 00:48.045
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.

00:48.065 --> 00:48.886
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's on Friday.

00:48.946 --> 00:49.286
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

00:49.306 --> 00:49.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Awesome.

00:49.667 --> 00:49.967
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

00:50.234 --> 00:54.363
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I'd really love the fact that we're able to do this review.

00:54.604 --> 01:05.509
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is kind of like I just celebrating his life and just talking about this because you know, we reviewed a lot of John Candy movies, but John Lowe's.

01:05.995 --> 01:06.696
[SPEAKER_01]: stuff.

01:06.716 --> 01:14.662
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is called size with everything that we reviewed and everything that we touched on as far as John Candy is an act.

01:15.263 --> 01:15.743
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:15.763 --> 01:19.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, I just love the opening of the dog, but Bill Murray.

01:20.247 --> 01:20.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:20.988 --> 01:35.040
[SPEAKER_01]: And him saying, there's hard to find something negative to say about John Candy because I hope that you find someone that can find that you can find find something negative about him.

01:35.847 --> 01:39.451
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it cuts into the whole time, you know, thing.

01:39.511 --> 01:43.936
[SPEAKER_01]: But what did you think of, seem gummary on it, and stuff like that?

01:44.396 --> 01:46.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I loved that opening.

01:46.158 --> 01:51.884
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was so sweet and the best part about it is that nobody did say anything negative about him.

01:51.924 --> 02:03.897
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought that was really lovely because you've got the feeling with all of these people that they really had a deep affection for him

02:04.265 --> 02:11.917
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, it's hard to believe that somebody has no fault in this day and age, but with John candy, I really believe these people.

02:12.037 --> 02:27.200
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and usually like 30 years later, if you really had some pent up feelings or whatever, you're going to say it, but that's how I loved how that how the film opens because I just love that sentiment and that first time like, oh, gosh, what are they going to say?

02:27.240 --> 02:30.645
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, he's like, oh, I thought of something and then it cuts and I love that.

02:30.665 --> 02:32.348
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was so clever.

02:32.615 --> 02:44.245
[SPEAKER_01]: I did too because it makes it keeps us on our toes to know what was said negatively out of him because I always have a saying like I want to be a lot more like John G. John Candy.

02:44.765 --> 03:02.706
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying because he was more of the giver and always had time for people and love people around him and he looked at people as people and then look at himself as his person as his actor that we see him as he sees himself as like an everyday person so that's what I liked about him.

03:03.023 --> 03:03.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

03:03.404 --> 03:17.408
[SPEAKER_00]: I got that distinct feeling that he felt very human feelings like, I had an anxiety and sort of like question himself and question his abilities and question his way and question his his how how it was he as a father.

03:17.468 --> 03:28.187
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he seemed very real in that respect, not like maybe a movie star who you would never get the feeling that they have any feelings of in any inequity.

03:28.488 --> 03:42.443
[SPEAKER_00]: about themselves, but you get the feeling that John really did feel, but I think he felt a deep love for everybody as well, even though he kind of questioned his ability to parent being far away and, you know, being as false and stuff like that.

03:42.563 --> 03:56.318
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but he was sort of like, I mean, one thing that they don't bring up and you never hear about, I mean, he just didn't seem to have a lot of vices, he didn't seem to be doing a lot of things that would have made the tabloids or anything like that.

03:56.483 --> 03:58.085
[SPEAKER_00]: which I really respect about them.

03:58.366 --> 04:01.991
[SPEAKER_00]: They did say that he smoke and drank, but I mean, that's everybody.

04:02.051 --> 04:03.212
[SPEAKER_00]: You know a lot of people do that.

04:03.353 --> 04:06.016
[SPEAKER_01]: I see that as a minor thing, compared to his time.

04:06.457 --> 04:07.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right.

04:07.338 --> 04:11.824
[SPEAKER_00]: So I like that because I think that he was very human.

04:12.465 --> 04:14.848
[SPEAKER_01]: It shows he's very human, very professional.

04:15.569 --> 04:21.858
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's what I love about him is the fact that, you know, he's his family man, and that's what he looks at himself as his family man.

04:22.299 --> 04:25.343
[SPEAKER_01]: His family man, you know,

04:25.778 --> 04:26.419
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's it.

04:26.960 --> 04:41.868
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was job and come home and just be a family man, be a dad to his son and daughter, but he died on March 18, 1994, Toronto, Canada, John Kenny's funeral dan agro is speaking as a it's very heartwarming that part made me tear up.

04:42.289 --> 04:44.513
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, knowing that.

04:44.813 --> 04:46.715
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, Dan is so close to him.

04:46.735 --> 04:53.824
[SPEAKER_01]: And it just breaks my heart to see him having to talk again about death because of John Belushi.

04:54.125 --> 04:54.465
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

04:54.705 --> 05:00.873
[SPEAKER_01]: Like John was even more of a bigger part in his life than, uh, Belushi was too.

05:01.954 --> 05:05.278
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that, do you remember what your Belushi passed away?

05:05.338 --> 05:06.960
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember with the late eighties?

05:07.841 --> 05:10.465
[SPEAKER_01]: It was in 1982, I want to say.

05:10.485 --> 05:11.546
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, okay.

05:11.566 --> 05:14.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of loss there.

05:15.425 --> 05:26.918
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for me the most touching part of that funeral was when they were talking about it and they were and they were talking about I think it was Martin Short who said and Eugene Levy both were talking about how they were driving.

05:27.038 --> 05:27.899
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it was Dan effort.

05:28.059 --> 05:38.871
[SPEAKER_00]: You might have to remind me, they noticed when they were driving across the bridge that they shut down the entire freeway for him and that had only happened one other time I think for a president.

05:39.391 --> 05:42.715
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah it was for the president and for John Candy and the Pope.

05:43.049 --> 05:44.010
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's right, the Pope.

05:44.030 --> 05:46.534
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I was like, I mean, I was already crying.

05:46.654 --> 05:51.822
[SPEAKER_00]: I pretty much cried throughout this entire movie right after Bill Murray did that first couple of minutes.

05:51.902 --> 05:58.812
[SPEAKER_00]: I started crying immediately, but um, that made me just feel I felt so like what have show of respect.

05:59.713 --> 06:00.154
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

06:00.234 --> 06:09.327
[SPEAKER_01]: This is how you know you made it like Eugene Libby said that's how you know you made it is when they shut down, but a whole entire freeway for you.

06:10.117 --> 06:11.679
[SPEAKER_01]: And then remember, remember, it's of you.

06:11.879 --> 06:16.123
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it was Dan Akroy there that was actually speaking on.

06:16.204 --> 06:17.125
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, thank you on that.

06:17.365 --> 06:24.593
[SPEAKER_01]: You're very welcome, but you know, it's just makes me happy that John actually went out on top.

06:24.613 --> 06:31.840
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, even though his movies like Wacens East didn't even do that good at the box officer, right?

06:31.860 --> 06:37.947
[SPEAKER_01]: That, but he still managed to hold the respect outside of the life of a movie star.

06:38.348 --> 06:38.708
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

06:38.989 --> 06:51.684
[SPEAKER_01]: And he had everybody's respect from the football team to the place that he lived and never forgot where he came from and it's just heartfelt and heart very heart wanting to see that part of it.

06:51.704 --> 06:52.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

06:52.646 --> 06:52.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

06:52.866 --> 07:01.116
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he did make I mean they talked about some films that he made that were a little bit didn't do that well and it was possibly because he was

07:01.400 --> 07:03.304
[SPEAKER_00]: the guy who didn't want to say no.

07:03.805 --> 07:11.119
[SPEAKER_00]: Or he felt, I mean, a part of it could have been to that, you know, he was a bona fide celebrity.

07:11.220 --> 07:12.061
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody loved him.

07:12.121 --> 07:16.210
[SPEAKER_00]: He made some really huge bits that people really, really loved.

07:16.590 --> 07:23.003
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think maybe he sort of felt like he wanted to either pay people back for that, or he wanted to

07:23.641 --> 07:25.303
[SPEAKER_00]: help people along in their career.

07:25.343 --> 07:33.952
[SPEAKER_00]: So he said, yes, the things that, you know, maybe other people would have said don't do, but I mean, when you have a career like that, of course, you're going to make some clunkers.

07:34.012 --> 07:37.355
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, even Tom Hanks has made some not great movies.

07:37.816 --> 07:38.857
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just the way it is.

07:39.257 --> 07:47.566
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you look at things 20, 30, 40 years later, they may not even look like they might not look like bad movies anymore.

07:47.586 --> 07:51.910
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, sometimes the test of time just makes

07:52.210 --> 08:04.285
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that everything he did, you know, I mean, but you and I talked about trains planes and automobiles that was my favorite movie and I loved when Steve Martin talked about working with him on that film.

08:05.146 --> 08:07.829
[SPEAKER_01]: I did too, I liked how he said, I didn't really have to do anything.

08:07.849 --> 08:12.375
[SPEAKER_01]: All I had to do was be annoyed by his presence and that was it.

08:13.056 --> 08:13.897
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I had to do.

08:14.097 --> 08:15.459
[SPEAKER_01]: Candy did all the work.

08:15.899 --> 08:21.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I just went on ahead and added more to what I was being annoyed by.

08:22.028 --> 08:50.837
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was such a great point because, I mean, that's a film that I cried through, probably one of my favorite John candy films, probably one of the best John candy and Steve Martin both for both of their careers was defining because it's such a beautiful movie and it's not a comedy in this sense that it's yes, it's very funny, but it's also there's that underlying sadness throughout the entire film and then when you find out what happens at the end.

08:51.627 --> 08:53.487
[SPEAKER_00]: gave John Kenny so much credit.

08:53.804 --> 08:56.607
[SPEAKER_00]: because I think that Steve Martin is so talented as well.

08:56.647 --> 09:08.001
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he was probably being very humble and is in his discussion, but once you hear him talk about it, you really start to see how much he did in that film, even though there was not a lot of action.

09:08.321 --> 09:14.829
[SPEAKER_00]: There was just a lot of them hanging out together through the different things and talk them talking, really.

09:15.169 --> 09:20.816
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, now they went along distances, but that wasn't the point to the movie at all.

09:20.836 --> 09:23.659
[SPEAKER_00]: The point was the two of them playing off of each other.

09:23.909 --> 09:36.048
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly because that's what he was that's basically which on candy is it's improv improvisation and some actors have a hard time dealing with it And we actually get to hear from them from every single actor But you're right though.

09:36.068 --> 09:37.330
[SPEAKER_01]: They're playing off of each other.

09:37.370 --> 09:50.710
[SPEAKER_01]: They're playing off each other's motions Then you find out why it's not fair for Steve Martin's character to go home Well the person that he's been with who's trying to get him home doesn't have any one to go home to

09:51.314 --> 10:09.053
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that's that emotional barrier of like I got to be the better person and bring him to my house right and I almost I was like if they show that again, I'm just going to I'm just what am I going to do.

10:09.421 --> 10:10.202
[SPEAKER_01]: And they did show it.

10:10.222 --> 10:19.053
[SPEAKER_01]: They showed like a great clip of it, but I love that they played almost every single one of his films acknowledge some of the stuff within his films.

10:19.434 --> 10:20.635
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, he was born in 1950.

10:20.755 --> 10:25.061
[SPEAKER_01]: I covered 31st and sitting is actually John's father.

10:25.121 --> 10:27.824
[SPEAKER_01]: And he dies at age 35, right?

10:29.827 --> 10:29.927
[SPEAKER_01]: And

10:30.599 --> 10:32.482
[SPEAKER_01]: He had to be the one who had to take care of the family.

10:32.522 --> 10:34.265
[SPEAKER_01]: John was as such a young age.

10:34.285 --> 10:35.888
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, okay, it's time for the presence.

10:36.208 --> 10:39.874
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's not here to actually help you open the presence or anything.

10:40.335 --> 10:41.998
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to be the one to do that.

10:42.058 --> 10:45.143
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, wow, that's such a deep thing to go through.

10:45.504 --> 10:46.345
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that right, though?

10:48.128 --> 10:51.173
[SPEAKER_01]: Someone who has to go through that much stuff at age five.

10:51.710 --> 11:01.202
[SPEAKER_01]: and you think that there would be something wrong like trauma or this person would not come out the way he did on top of everything out that he was faced with.

11:01.222 --> 11:02.524
[SPEAKER_01]: But John Candidine didn't do that.

11:02.584 --> 11:12.317
[SPEAKER_01]: He just basically put his head forward and said subconsciously, this is my situation, I just gotta keep moving and breathe into this.

11:12.770 --> 11:21.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because they also said, I believe that his mother, after his son, Katie's father dies, his mother moved in with, I believe, her parents, right?

11:21.549 --> 11:26.820
[SPEAKER_00]: And they just didn't, they just didn't talk about him, which I don't think was super uncommon for that time period.

11:26.880 --> 11:30.087
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that might be a generational thing.

11:30.505 --> 11:36.774
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that he probably carried that through the rest of his life and he probably, you know, made note my dad died when he was 35.

11:36.954 --> 11:44.926
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm this age, no, I'm this age out in this age, no, you know, I think that probably was something that stayed with him throughout his life.

11:45.567 --> 11:52.477
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, remember, they did say that John was saying, well, my dad was 40 something years old, 35 years old.

11:53.198 --> 11:58.386
[SPEAKER_01]: And he has that whole entire anxiety of the fact, am I going to die at an early age?

11:58.636 --> 12:03.761
[SPEAKER_01]: when I can't see my own kids grow up, because my father couldn't see me grow up.

12:04.162 --> 12:06.924
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was a lot of the fear in the anxiety that he was dealing with.

12:07.245 --> 12:08.606
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, as well.

12:09.507 --> 12:13.671
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, in the irony is that his kids did basically grow up.

12:13.711 --> 12:18.035
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think I can't remember was his daughter 11 or maybe she was 14.

12:18.095 --> 12:18.896
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they were young.

12:19.757 --> 12:20.758
[SPEAKER_00]: And the stuff was younger.

12:20.818 --> 12:21.899
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

12:22.740 --> 12:23.861
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember the age.

12:24.161 --> 12:25.723
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't either, but it was,

12:25.906 --> 12:28.412
[SPEAKER_00]: It was definitely before she was 15.

12:28.512 --> 12:30.337
[SPEAKER_00]: I was either a lavender or a 14.

12:30.377 --> 12:30.898
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember.

12:31.159 --> 12:31.881
[SPEAKER_00]: That's very young.

12:32.021 --> 12:38.036
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I had a friend who, and my grandmother passed away when my aunt was very young.

12:38.176 --> 12:43.088
[SPEAKER_00]: So there is, that is a very traumatic time for everybody.

12:43.591 --> 12:44.172
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

12:44.452 --> 12:50.341
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jennifer was approximately 14 years old, the son Chris was a was approximately eight years old.

12:50.722 --> 12:51.042
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

12:51.062 --> 12:54.367
[SPEAKER_01]: When he died, so there's a lot of a context with it.

12:55.148 --> 13:04.442
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's just sad to see them having to go through that struggle of losing their dad and trying to figure things out just as he did stuff.

13:04.462 --> 13:09.970
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know what, I remember as a kid looking back

13:10.405 --> 13:12.889
[SPEAKER_01]: And I told my mom this, I was like, I was very young.

13:12.949 --> 13:17.436
[SPEAKER_01]: I told her this, I said, you know what, I wonder how my colleague Hogan's feeling about this.

13:18.457 --> 13:20.340
[SPEAKER_01]: And she goes, well, what about his kids?

13:20.380 --> 13:25.268
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, and I didn't think about that because I was just thinking of my childhood.

13:25.388 --> 13:34.882
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I don't kid thinking of how somebody else would feel, but not knowing that he had kids and how they were dealing with it.

13:34.902 --> 13:39.349
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, and I'll be honest, I actually didn't know that he had children.

13:39.683 --> 13:40.464
[SPEAKER_00]: I had no idea.

13:40.564 --> 13:43.308
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know a lot about his personal life at all as a matter of fact.

13:43.629 --> 13:49.858
[SPEAKER_00]: I had no idea how good a frenzy was with John Hughes and speaking of McColle Colk and I loved that he pointed out.

13:49.878 --> 13:53.082
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, we always associate John Hughes with Molly Greenwall.

13:53.523 --> 13:54.905
[SPEAKER_00]: I made three movies with John.

13:55.065 --> 13:56.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Molly made three movies with John.

13:57.168 --> 14:01.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Hughes and John can be made nine movies with John Hughes.

14:01.635 --> 14:04.439
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a huge number of movies to make.

14:04.479 --> 14:08.745
[SPEAKER_00]: They were good friends.

14:09.451 --> 14:23.292
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know that either by self, I didn't keep track record of how many films each person was in, but this is crazy to know that John Kendi was in a lot of John Hughes movies and part of our life just as Molly Ringwall was.

14:23.542 --> 14:53.110
[SPEAKER_00]: That means John that you and I have several more movies of John uses to go through because I don't go through I was trying to remember how many I mean we've done a significant but there's there's more and we always have fun talking about the but um maybe we need to do home alone because I already talked about home alone yeah I did home alone one and two for Christmas

14:53.798 --> 14:54.139
[SPEAKER_01]: either.

14:57.564 --> 15:06.199
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry, but the home alone on the scene, I have to tell you for for your viewers that don't know this about me because I'm sure I've mentioned it, but it's been a while.

15:06.980 --> 15:09.505
[SPEAKER_00]: The the character he played the poker king.

15:10.126 --> 15:16.296
[SPEAKER_00]: That is yeah, the poker and then he's like, we sold six hundred 15 minutes and she's like in Chicago and he said, no, she won't.

15:16.613 --> 15:18.356
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a lot of the hour for me.

15:18.637 --> 15:19.498
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very close.

15:19.879 --> 15:33.505
[SPEAKER_00]: So that scene was a huge deal when it came out that will be especially in Wisconsin because Shaboye can is such a well-known city and it's maybe, I don't know, 40 minutes north of Milwaukee.

15:33.905 --> 15:40.157
[SPEAKER_00]: So it just was a big deal and he did such a great job and just that does that loveable character.

15:40.559 --> 16:08.322
[SPEAKER_01]: He does, and you know what the, the characteristic plays or small roles, but he gives them a backstory and in 24 hours, he had a whole backstory on this guy, and he went through this whole entire thing, and it's just told improvisization, Katherine O'Harris was blown away with him, whenever they're inside the back of the truck, and just spelled that, and it's actually

16:08.993 --> 16:12.451
[SPEAKER_01]: It was poorly, it was great, it was great when you did.

16:13.577 --> 16:13.738
[SPEAKER_01]: And

16:14.377 --> 16:17.381
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I didn't even know he was from Canada to be honest with you.

16:17.421 --> 16:18.663
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought he was from Chicago.

16:19.023 --> 16:23.589
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because that's how John Hughes puts him in Chicago.

16:23.889 --> 16:24.330
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

16:24.350 --> 16:27.854
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and he has a Chicago accent that's very thick one.

16:28.235 --> 16:31.579
[SPEAKER_01]: First sure, to mentally believe he was actually part of Chicago.

16:31.619 --> 16:35.104
[SPEAKER_01]: So I didn't even know he was from originally from Canada.

16:35.144 --> 16:36.606
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was something else I didn't learn.

16:36.626 --> 16:38.128
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have to mention guys.

16:38.288 --> 16:40.050
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that people's like, how do you not know that?

16:40.351 --> 16:41.192
[SPEAKER_01]: There's Wikipedia.

16:41.212 --> 16:42.173
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't look up.

16:42.878 --> 16:47.185
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and things, and I'm just mindful by it in mind blown by it.

16:48.126 --> 16:50.329
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it is so awesome.

16:50.410 --> 16:52.913
[SPEAKER_01]: They actually learned something new about John King.

16:53.494 --> 17:04.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was it was really fun to watch that scene, too, because it was like, well, I thought that movie home alone in the theaters with my mother, who was like, we have to go see this this movie.

17:04.571 --> 17:08.818
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, I was probably, I know you were quite young, but I was probably,

17:09.878 --> 17:16.002
[SPEAKER_00]: I was trying 20, summer between 20 and 22 when I came on, I can't remember exactly and doing the math is too hard for me.

17:16.283 --> 17:18.150
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll say 21.

17:18.451 --> 17:18.852
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

17:18.952 --> 17:21.536
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my mom was like, and I'm like, Mom, that's a kid's movie.

17:21.556 --> 17:25.442
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's like, my mother, the reason I love movies so much is because of my mother.

17:26.143 --> 17:29.428
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we went to see her and we just loved it.

17:29.508 --> 17:38.441
[SPEAKER_00]: We just laughed and when John Candy was on, and he was talking about the polka, because here's another weird fact about my backstory.

17:38.862 --> 17:42.147
[SPEAKER_00]: When I was in middle school, we were not allowed to have

17:42.937 --> 17:44.939
[SPEAKER_00]: rock and roll at our dances.

17:45.419 --> 17:46.841
[SPEAKER_00]: So I am not kidding you.

17:47.221 --> 17:50.184
[SPEAKER_00]: They hired a polka band and we had polka parties.

17:51.044 --> 17:55.508
[SPEAKER_00]: My husband does not believe this happened, but it truly, truly happened.

17:55.829 --> 18:01.494
[SPEAKER_00]: So the polka, I know I actually know how to polka.

18:01.514 --> 18:11.543
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

18:12.248 --> 18:13.329
[SPEAKER_00]: They sure did.

18:14.570 --> 18:17.793
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I was like, yo pictures to show that that happened.

18:17.833 --> 18:20.756
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a great carol in the clover leaves.

18:20.776 --> 18:26.421
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think was the name of, um, and I thought it was about right.

18:28.964 --> 18:33.528
[SPEAKER_01]: I was actually five years old when, um, when that movie came out for home alone.

18:34.369 --> 18:42.036
[SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't get the jokes at the time and then the going back and watching it

18:42.404 --> 18:47.510
[SPEAKER_01]: No, and I'm saying, as a kid, I'm like, oh, I want to see my colleague coconut, and I'm not into this boring stuff.

18:47.530 --> 19:00.265
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you realize the boring stuff is just as interesting as my colleague coconut right as an adult going into it and watching it and I really love the back and forth with Catherine O'Hara John candy everything just works.

19:00.705 --> 19:04.750
[SPEAKER_01]: And then even whenever you have the actually impoons vacation, whichever you chase.

19:05.202 --> 19:18.672
[SPEAKER_01]: He did another thing he made up and he had the same character from the last of sitcom thing like Saturday live and brought it into that and he does a fantastic job within the last five minutes of the film.

19:19.276 --> 19:25.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and as I recall from the documentary, they said they had a different ending all together and everybody hated it.

19:25.324 --> 19:32.393
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they brought him in last minute to, and I think they said it was like you said, it was a character he had already created.

19:32.734 --> 19:34.015
[SPEAKER_00]: So they brought him in to do it.

19:34.075 --> 19:38.281
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, when you think of vacation, there's so many funny moments moments in that film.

19:38.301 --> 19:43.488
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so much to talk about, but everybody remembers John Candy at the end of that film.

19:44.269 --> 19:49.215
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly, because every single meme that you find

19:49.415 --> 20:01.307
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, this is sort of how iconic that ending was and if they didn't if they were not with that ending, that we wouldn't have had that iconic ending, which on candy we wouldn't have that.

20:01.327 --> 20:01.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

20:02.188 --> 20:14.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the movie might not have even done this while because I mean Chevy Chase as well, it's made some clunkers and we could have could have gone the way of and I don't know about staying that John can't be made the movie, but it's certainly made that

20:14.913 --> 20:16.275
[SPEAKER_01]: It can jump back on it.

20:16.475 --> 20:20.100
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is see him at the final ending of it.

20:20.120 --> 20:20.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

20:20.941 --> 20:21.162
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

20:21.182 --> 20:22.784
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it seems like the perfect ending.

20:22.804 --> 20:25.688
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems like they almost had the ending and then wrote it backwards.

20:26.048 --> 20:29.613
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you find out that didn't happen and it's just blows your mind.

20:29.653 --> 20:31.115
[SPEAKER_01]: It really is.

20:31.276 --> 20:35.942
[SPEAKER_01]: And then another thing to I want to bring up is.

20:36.277 --> 20:44.802
[SPEAKER_01]: with McCullick Hulkin looking out for McCullick Hulkin on the set, and he ends up looking at McCulley, he's like, are you okay?

20:45.644 --> 20:50.117
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he responded the fact that his own father of McCulley's father was a jerk?

20:50.367 --> 20:55.636
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we should probably say you're talking about Uncle Bob because they never did seem together in a moment.

20:55.657 --> 20:58.321
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, yeah, yeah, no, that's okay.

20:58.622 --> 20:59.944
[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to make a point and you're right.

21:00.004 --> 21:04.613
[SPEAKER_00]: And do I love that scene, especially in Uncle Bob, or he's asking them the questions.

21:04.993 --> 21:10.924
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they talked about that scene and and even he was saying like John can he was could have believed like.

21:10.904 --> 21:36.321
[SPEAKER_00]: how well McCalli Colton could keep up I mean he was McCalli Colton was a great is a great actor I'm glad that his career is kind of that he's sort of able to come back a few wants to now as an actor and when he walked away because of his tremendously bad childhood with his father I believe he called him a monster and so we really didn't look up to John Candy because John Candy did show interest in how he was doing

21:36.908 --> 21:40.212
[SPEAKER_01]: and protected him on the set and just was there for him.

21:40.252 --> 21:52.507
[SPEAKER_01]: That's that right there in the documentary, Mamie Tehr up, because the fact that anything with father's son moments, even though that they're not biological father and son, gets me every single time.

21:52.807 --> 21:53.688
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right.

21:54.289 --> 21:56.892
[SPEAKER_00]: It was so lovely in the way that he was just reflecting on.

21:56.932 --> 22:05.582
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, McCallie Culkin, I have not really seen a lot of interviews with, but he comes across as he's so insightful and smart and funny.

22:05.917 --> 22:08.680
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and I was like, how we talked about him.

22:09.541 --> 22:16.127
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and he also said, think of like this, I'm just close to the same age that I was when I was first introduced.

22:16.788 --> 22:17.669
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been dying candy.

22:17.829 --> 22:18.309
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm 44.

22:18.710 --> 22:20.071
[SPEAKER_01]: He was 35.

22:21.533 --> 22:27.338
[SPEAKER_01]: So seven years of difference of it and that's just bad.

22:27.379 --> 22:28.319
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just mind blowing.

22:29.100 --> 22:32.924
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, it's it's when you think about it when you put it in perspective like that.

22:32.984 --> 22:33.865
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so.

22:34.469 --> 22:49.551
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so interesting and it's very reflective and he clearly remembered a lot of what happened even though he was a child, you know, I think he probably remembered a lot of the good things that happened on the sets when things were going well for him.

22:50.332 --> 22:57.762
[SPEAKER_00]: And he could see what's a little bit older, he was probably 9 or 10 when home alone came out, maybe maybe a little bit younger, but he was pretty young.

22:58.443 --> 22:58.924
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

22:59.461 --> 23:06.560
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's just awesome to be able to see John Kennedy be in the protect the father to yeah, I'm being the guideline for him.

23:06.901 --> 23:15.765
[SPEAKER_01]: I also like how he said, man, I was not expecting you to be so sharp with me going back and forth with me on this on the interrogation thing.

23:15.998 --> 23:35.526
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they had a lot of chemistry on screen, especially in that one scene, but, you know, if you think about it, John, can you had a lot of chemistry with a lot of his, one of the kids that he worked with, he seemed to have a real affection for working with children and I think that worked really well and a lot of the roles he took throughout the year.

23:36.130 --> 23:55.590
[SPEAKER_01]: Then we go into the thing with Tom Hanks talking about him with Splash and I like how now this might be maybe a little bit of a thing which I can't even maybe a little bit of his character

23:55.874 --> 24:02.661
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm reflecting on and I like how they do that and it's not to disrespect John Candy.

24:03.081 --> 24:09.808
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a of a self reflection on Tom Hanks and so is saying, Hey, look, I didn't know what John was trying to do.

24:10.368 --> 24:15.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I didn't know he wanted me to play with him in what he was doing with improvization.

24:15.854 --> 24:21.139
[SPEAKER_01]: But once I got the hang of it, we ended up rewriting this whole entire scene and they off in the office.

24:21.845 --> 24:25.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because Tom Haines does not come from an improv background, either.

24:25.450 --> 24:38.927
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe I don't really know a lot about his, but I'm guessing he's more like read lines, you know, and some of the actors that were in the documentary definitely had improv background, but not all of them.

24:39.167 --> 24:45.996
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, you know, it might have been harder for people like because I think Catherine will hear it was on ST TV too, right?

24:46.347 --> 24:56.162
[SPEAKER_01]: She was on there because remember, if you play the role of, uh, leave it to Beaver, the mother, oh, that's right.

24:56.222 --> 24:57.364
[SPEAKER_00]: That was so funny.

24:57.424 --> 24:59.147
[SPEAKER_00]: That was so funny.

24:59.567 --> 24:59.788
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

24:59.828 --> 25:05.757
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Tom Hanks is like, I don't know what I'm watching, but I swear I'm losing it right now because of how funny it is.

25:05.922 --> 25:07.744
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, that was so funny.

25:07.784 --> 25:08.265
[SPEAKER_00]: It was great.

25:08.345 --> 25:09.226
[SPEAKER_00]: It was great that time.

25:09.506 --> 25:11.028
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have to be honest with you, John.

25:11.088 --> 25:16.434
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't seen not forgotten the movie flash since it came out.

25:16.554 --> 25:17.596
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a really long time.

25:17.616 --> 25:19.097
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't remember a lot.

25:19.418 --> 25:24.844
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I remember the movie, but not as not as much as I remember, you know, for instance, Uncle Bocker.

25:24.864 --> 25:27.287
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember certain things.

25:27.347 --> 25:35.777
[SPEAKER_01]: And I remember John Candy, like this is supposed to be young John Candy as a kid,

25:36.196 --> 25:43.783
[SPEAKER_01]: as a kid, dropping change, and then as he gets older, you see how much the love that he has for his brother.

25:43.823 --> 25:51.570
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, I like that part in the office where he's like, look, love does not happen every day for everybody.

25:51.590 --> 25:55.574
[SPEAKER_01]: Not certainly not for me, but it happens to you so you need to go out there and get it.

25:56.214 --> 25:59.257
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is a part that makes me laugh every single time.

25:59.417 --> 26:03.621
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember when they're bustling inside, the little aquarium where they're holding the mermaid, right?

26:03.922 --> 26:07.283
[SPEAKER_01]: We have an attack and this is government funded thing.

26:07.533 --> 26:15.965
[SPEAKER_01]: and there's security guards are going in there and John Candy's soaking his feet in the water where the mermaid used to be.

26:16.566 --> 26:25.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Just hey fellas, here's, and he goes, come on, the water's fine and then there's also this other thing where he's acting like a Russian scientist.

26:25.879 --> 26:27.021
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yes, more penis.

26:27.662 --> 26:31.247
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I remember from Flash.

26:31.587 --> 26:34.131
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to actually rewatch that and do that.

26:34.837 --> 26:38.142
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe we'll have to because I I haven't seen it for so long.

26:38.202 --> 26:38.823
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember.

26:38.863 --> 26:46.894
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't probably see parts of its sense, but not the whole way through and I don't know if it wasn't streaming or there's no particular reason.

26:46.974 --> 26:48.757
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't rewatched it, but I just haven't.

26:49.518 --> 26:51.961
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, it's on Disney plus that you can watch it on.

26:52.302 --> 26:53.844
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I hate Disney plus so.

26:55.026 --> 27:01.435
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I wouldn't mind revisiting that for a child's birthday because my mom let.

27:01.668 --> 27:02.609
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, let me watch it.

27:02.629 --> 27:04.813
[SPEAKER_01]: She rented it from a video store.

27:04.833 --> 27:07.917
[SPEAKER_01]: And I wanted a liking as a kid, but I haven't watched it.

27:07.937 --> 27:08.718
[SPEAKER_01]: Sent up as a kid.

27:08.758 --> 27:09.980
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's going to be a good one to do.

27:10.000 --> 27:12.203
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how it's narrating in the movie.

27:12.223 --> 27:15.127
[SPEAKER_00]: You were nice to do talk about that one at some point in the future.

27:15.167 --> 27:16.449
[SPEAKER_01]: That's definitely.

27:16.469 --> 27:17.771
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to be that one with you.

27:18.212 --> 27:18.512
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool.

27:18.993 --> 27:22.278
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, speaking of cool, one of my favorites on candy films.

27:22.438 --> 27:23.760
[SPEAKER_00]: And they didn't mention it at all.

27:23.780 --> 27:25.262
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think was cool runnings.

27:25.664 --> 27:26.945
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I love cool running.

27:27.086 --> 27:39.580
[SPEAKER_00]: It's such a great film and I remember it so when my kids were going out there adults know, but we had some friends at every summer, um, two of them would do back at backyard movies and one of them had a younger son.

27:39.600 --> 27:44.726
[SPEAKER_00]: So we had to do always had to do a PG or G movie, but just fine, it was great.

27:44.746 --> 27:48.550
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I like, I like all movies that I'd find with family films.

27:48.530 --> 27:55.748
[SPEAKER_00]: And one year they chose cool runnings and I hadn't seen it in a long long time and I just I loved it so much.

27:55.808 --> 28:04.429
[SPEAKER_00]: I just enjoyed that that was one of my favorite movie out there movies that they've done in that series, but I love that movie it's just so funny.

28:04.915 --> 28:21.152
[SPEAKER_01]: It's funny, it pulls on your heartstrings, John Lee Lee is the only one who is defending these guys from Jamaica and my other thing that I like is soccer because he's a lucky eggman and then he was up.

28:21.537 --> 28:31.550
[SPEAKER_01]: John once I've gone to the board of the Olympics because they don't mind or something like that he wants I'm saying something to I just love the chemistry that he has with those guys.

28:31.870 --> 28:47.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's another one we have to do Yeah, I know I'm on board with that when any time because it's just such a great Oh, just it's such a hardwarming film and I think it's actually based on a true story Yeah, it's based on a true story believe it or not and

28:48.014 --> 29:02.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, there are some things that they have changed within the store, um, make it more of the underdog kind of fight to it, but it's completely way different than what the movie actually is, but it's still great movie.

29:02.314 --> 29:09.904
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely recommend it.

29:10.255 --> 29:38.946
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he goes into making stripes and you can see this one interview where the like this woman is just kind of question with it because it was weight and stuff like that and he doesn't even think about his weight pro issues or anything he's an actor he doesn't even care about that but yet this one interviewer is trying to lay it in him.

29:39.365 --> 29:54.893
[SPEAKER_00]: right well you know it's interesting you say that because there was one moment in the documentary that really struck me and that is I don't think it was a woman I think it was the man because they did show a lot of interviews that he had with people and you could see he was fairly uncomfortable doing movies.

29:54.873 --> 30:00.379
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, doing interviews, I don't think he liked it, but I think he didn't like it because everybody kept bringing up his weight.

30:00.860 --> 30:05.565
[SPEAKER_00]: And one person, I think it was a man said to him, does your weight bother you?

30:05.645 --> 30:08.108
[SPEAKER_00]: And he just laughed and said, no, does it bother you?

30:08.148 --> 30:09.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Or something like that?

30:09.850 --> 30:13.674
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like this real quick jab right back at him and he laughed.

30:14.015 --> 30:18.300
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought, he was intentionally trying to tell the sky to go shove it.

30:18.940 --> 30:21.403
[SPEAKER_00]: But he did it such a nice way.

30:21.518 --> 30:29.986
[SPEAKER_00]: And I wonder if I forgot the guy even figured it out that he just got insulted because he literally laughed as he said it to be kind of like aweshocks.

30:30.406 --> 30:35.751
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he was a very smart man and I don't think people understood how smart he was.

30:36.271 --> 30:50.884
[SPEAKER_01]: No, in almost every single 80s movies like, let's make fun of the fact that yeah, let's do fart jokes, let's do let's make fun of his way in John candy was not about that.

30:51.337 --> 30:54.841
[SPEAKER_01]: He they also mentioned some other actors as well.

30:55.541 --> 31:06.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I like how John candy is like, no, I'm not that I'm not that person that you go to for that and then he was actually losing weight and then like, Oh, no, now we want you back.

31:06.473 --> 31:07.594
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't not do that anymore.

31:07.694 --> 31:08.655
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, Wow.

31:08.876 --> 31:14.702
[SPEAKER_01]: So the industry is now trying to run his health and I at the end of the day, I'm looking at it.

31:14.722 --> 31:17.565
[SPEAKER_01]: The fact that the industry is what killed him.

31:17.585 --> 31:17.865
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

31:18.526 --> 31:18.846
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

31:19.265 --> 31:30.541
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and they talked about how he wasn't feeling well, and I mean, we can talk about this later when we get to the end of our conversation, but I agree with that.

31:30.561 --> 31:36.049
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and I also think he didn't know what they wanted, because it was like, oh, he lost, what did he lose a hundred pounds or something?

31:36.309 --> 31:38.632
[SPEAKER_01]: How did he lost 70 pounds?

31:39.173 --> 31:41.436
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they were like, oh, no, we don't want you skinny.

31:41.456 --> 31:42.958
[SPEAKER_00]: We need you this way or that way.

31:43.279 --> 31:49.187
[SPEAKER_00]: But honestly, all of this character, he played his weight, didn't matter for any of them.

31:49.623 --> 31:54.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they could be played by someone skating, someone fat, it doesn't matter.

31:55.210 --> 31:55.971
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

31:56.351 --> 32:02.218
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what I liked about it was the fact that he was so diverse into the characters that he plays, that none of that mattered.

32:03.119 --> 32:10.408
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, even on Brookie of the Year for example, which is a movie I reviewed recently, he did that as a favor.

32:10.929 --> 32:13.392
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, they had all this things already shot, right?

32:14.133 --> 32:17.757
[SPEAKER_01]: They called John up and say, hey, look, we're doing this Chicago Cubs movie.

32:18.175 --> 32:21.639
[SPEAKER_01]: little kid that broke his arm, we need an an answer.

32:22.200 --> 32:28.608
[SPEAKER_01]: So he does all this part of improvization probably and rocks it and then leaves.

32:29.149 --> 32:29.429
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

32:30.230 --> 32:31.852
[SPEAKER_00]: Was that the one he had one day?

32:31.912 --> 32:33.054
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a one movie.

32:33.234 --> 32:33.514
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

32:33.534 --> 32:33.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

32:34.135 --> 32:34.556
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

32:34.576 --> 32:38.681
[SPEAKER_00]: That where he came in and had one day to do to film it because he had no time.

32:39.121 --> 32:46.731
[SPEAKER_00]: Because he was really a busy actor, which is interesting because they talked about him worrying about

32:47.015 --> 32:54.462
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the humanity that I was saying before and like the anxiety and like the real things if people worry about he worried about as well.

32:55.443 --> 32:55.984
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

32:56.004 --> 33:01.669
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the fact that they showed the vulnerability of him and not putting them on this mantle of the sky.

33:01.709 --> 33:03.831
[SPEAKER_01]: No worries, no flaws, nothing like that.

33:04.732 --> 33:16.684
[SPEAKER_01]: But I like how they give him gave him more of a humanization with him and to show those struggles to where people can say, okay, I struggle with that too.

33:17.103 --> 33:19.386
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.

33:19.426 --> 33:28.397
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they showed him as I think a real human and they didn't scandalize any part of his life, but he wasn't really a guy who had a lot of scandals anywhere or any scandals.

33:28.938 --> 33:34.946
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, I think he lived the best life he could and did the best he could and I think they showed that in this film.

33:34.986 --> 33:36.367
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I really loved about it.

33:36.468 --> 33:39.972
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they just showed how human he really was.

33:40.677 --> 33:44.741
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so too, and this is his down probably one of my favorite documentaries this year.

33:45.441 --> 33:53.689
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm really enjoying it, but it's not thing really also I need to say about this documentary or the fact that this is a great documentary.

33:53.749 --> 34:02.918
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to see it check it out on on Amazon Prime and it's only like an hour and 55 minutes, but within those hours of hour and 55 minutes, you don't even feel the runtime with the music.

34:02.978 --> 34:08.423
[SPEAKER_01]: So into this whole

34:08.774 --> 34:09.419
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right.

34:09.439 --> 34:11.355
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they probably caught a lot too.

34:12.041 --> 34:12.202
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

34:12.222 --> 34:13.654
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's probably head.

34:14.107 --> 34:17.031
[SPEAKER_00]: hundreds of hours worth of interview time.

34:17.211 --> 34:19.213
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought it was a perfect time.

34:19.334 --> 34:19.834
[SPEAKER_00]: I want a time.

34:19.914 --> 34:20.755
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was it.

34:21.196 --> 34:23.979
[SPEAKER_00]: But I also think the way that they portrayed his death was really sad.

34:23.999 --> 34:26.563
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't really know that he was on step when he died.

34:26.623 --> 34:27.864
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I knew about that.

34:27.884 --> 34:28.245
[SPEAKER_00]: I know about that.

34:28.265 --> 34:29.246
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that was really sad.

34:29.767 --> 34:31.349
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I probably knew it at the time.

34:31.429 --> 34:33.752
[SPEAKER_00]: It has been so long since he passed away.

34:33.772 --> 34:36.375
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually didn't even realize it was so many years.

34:36.475 --> 34:40.460
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you get to be my age, sometimes you're like, oh, I thought that was last week.

34:40.480 --> 34:42.122
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it

34:42.980 --> 34:51.033
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, and I remember as a kid, like I said before, whenever I found out he died and I pissed was just sand devastated by it.

34:51.554 --> 34:57.102
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because I feel like I grew up with John Candy as a kid, and then now he's gone.

34:57.743 --> 35:05.836
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, he was like, as if he was my father and I lost him, there's also the space balls thing that they talked about as well.

35:06.076 --> 35:09.662
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, let's we can talk about that and then we can wrap that part.

35:10.148 --> 35:10.649
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

35:10.669 --> 35:10.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

35:10.829 --> 35:13.073
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's been a long time since I've seen that as well.

35:13.133 --> 35:14.455
[SPEAKER_00]: So you'll have to guide.

35:14.475 --> 35:16.518
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I remember it.

35:16.538 --> 35:17.079
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

35:17.279 --> 35:21.586
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was that that's just such a great movie all together from beginning to end.

35:21.626 --> 35:22.588
[SPEAKER_00]: It's such a great movie.

35:23.209 --> 35:25.853
[SPEAKER_01]: I've, I only meet remember pieces of it myself.

35:26.214 --> 35:26.714
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, do you?

35:27.115 --> 35:27.836
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very funny.

35:27.856 --> 35:28.958
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it's a school fun.

35:29.278 --> 35:30.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, obviously I'm scared of it.

35:31.242 --> 35:32.764
[SPEAKER_00]: And he plays

35:33.065 --> 35:38.571
[SPEAKER_00]: tobacco roll, but it's a dog, and it's just a really, it's very clever.

35:38.631 --> 35:40.073
[SPEAKER_00]: The whole film is pretty clever.

35:40.093 --> 35:41.314
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

35:41.975 --> 35:44.818
[SPEAKER_01]: Like going off the whole wagon, wagons these things.

35:44.958 --> 35:48.282
[SPEAKER_01]: I first thought that that was his last movie, but then he made Canadian bacon.

35:48.822 --> 35:51.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, after Canadian bacon, he passed away, I think.

35:52.526 --> 35:56.871
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, or because he was filming that one film that probably never got finished.

35:57.212 --> 36:03.038
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he said he was going to direct something, but I don't know if he

36:03.322 --> 36:04.483
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, hostage for a day.

36:05.224 --> 36:07.848
[SPEAKER_01]: That was the one that we're working on whenever they did the reshoots.

36:08.789 --> 36:10.451
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, when he passed away?

36:10.471 --> 36:12.213
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I believe so.

36:12.874 --> 36:22.906
[SPEAKER_01]: OK. Yeah, his loss of hair was in Waganzi's of 1994, and then maybe in Bacon, your later, but Waganzi's was his last movie.

36:22.926 --> 36:28.674
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, I guess they had one more movie that he wrapped up with, which was Canadian bacon before he died.

36:29.375 --> 36:31.157
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they were priced still editing it then.

36:31.477 --> 36:32.198
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

36:32.482 --> 36:39.232
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, so yeah, I remember going to see wagons these so as a kid though, I don't know if I've ever seen that one or not.

36:39.412 --> 36:41.815
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to look at the description.

36:42.216 --> 36:44.459
[SPEAKER_00]: It's possible because I saw so many movies.

36:44.539 --> 36:45.821
[SPEAKER_00]: I love I love movies.

36:46.262 --> 36:51.650
[SPEAKER_00]: So I used to go to will off, but I don't remember everything I've ever seen at this, I don't know why don't write this down.

36:51.670 --> 36:54.634
[SPEAKER_00]: I should have been writing it down for my, I used to write down the books I read.

36:54.854 --> 36:56.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't remember those anymore, either.

36:57.999 --> 36:58.539
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all good.

36:58.740 --> 37:00.362
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all.

37:00.848 --> 37:05.458
[SPEAKER_01]: But guys, I hope that you guys check out this documentary, it's a fantastic documentary.

37:17.927 --> 37:19.108

[SPEAKER_00]: No, we had, we had filmmaker Dustin Moro on a couple of months ago and he wants to come back on again, so we're going to be doing that, but most recently I've actually been invited to write a

37:58.223 --> 38:24.349
[SPEAKER_00]: an article about Kiss meets the Phantom of the Opera, which you may or may not know, is a hugely mythological sort of, it's kind of created in its own world, the Kiss TV movie that, you know, some say is the worst movie ever made, some say, not as bad, I just recently saw it this summer, so I'm writing an article about that and doing some research, and it's really fascinating because a lot happened for that movie to happen,

38:24.903 --> 38:30.434
[SPEAKER_00]: it's an interesting movie to say the least, but yeah, I've heard of it.

38:31.195 --> 38:35.945
[SPEAKER_01]: I never got a chance to watch it right So it's a it's an interesting movie.

38:37.027 --> 38:38.049
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it's very Southeast.

38:39.331 --> 38:42.658
