Star Wars Nerd Banter
00:00:33
Speaker
Hi, guys. Hello there. Oh, you fucking nerd. I used to be the only Star Wars nerd in this podcast. No, you weren't. Derek has always have the high ground now.
00:00:48
Speaker
Oh, come on, man. Only fucking Sith speaking ultimatums. If only you could have put him in the bottom and been like, I have the high ground now, bitch. Well, he can always.
00:00:58
Speaker
Damn it. Didn't work. Nope. Now that Jack is an admin, he just stays on the top, I think. Yeah. We've already discussed that. All right.
Exciting Email from Wes Fares
00:01:07
Speaker
Welcome back, guys. Hi. We're here. We're talking about mailbag.
00:01:12
Speaker
ah Yes, a kind of a ah first, not not first letter we've gotten. No, but this a pretty exciting letter. um The other night at 11 p.m., I was hanging out and got an email to badmoviesworstpeople at gmail.com. It was like 1 or 2 a.m.
00:01:31
Speaker
It says 11 p.m. right here. Oh. Well, you got it at like 1 2 a.m. I believe this person is in the UK because his he's on a different time zone.
00:01:45
Speaker
It is almost 11 a.m. We received an email from Wes Fares. um Let's just go into it. I'll tell you why. you'll You'll figure out why I gave you his last name because I don't usually give people's last names.
00:01:57
Speaker
Yeah. And Derek's name if you're watching on video. Yeah, you'll get it. in So your review of Deadly Run and episode 67 was spot on.
00:02:09
Speaker
I play the part of Bobby Jr. That kid in the film that points the gun at his sister. This is actually me and my sister IRL. So but his sister's name is Earl.
00:02:21
Speaker
yeah So it's really his his real life sister. Okay. Yeah.
00:02:29
Speaker
I know what IRL means, by the way. so
Insights from 'Deadly Run' Experience
00:02:31
Speaker
This is the first time we've received an email from but someone who's in a movie that we talked about. I know that's so fucking exciting. I mean, way back in the day, we got a retweet from Pauly Shore. yeah we did. It was great, too.
00:02:48
Speaker
But that's that's the closest we've gotten to knowing that a celebrity, well, knowing that a person in the movie that we talked about no offense, is even aware that we're talking about them.
00:03:00
Speaker
Yeah. It reached somebody. it continues. As for me, I was 10 and my IMDb profile is still just this. And he gave me the link and it's only this movie.
00:03:12
Speaker
but Okay. um Although y'all gave it three thumbs down and suggested no one order it. Thankfully, someone with the handle of Steve Wynwood and it's Wynwood, like would you.
00:03:27
Speaker
Oh, Wynwood. Oh, not like Steve Wynwood, the musician. No, I think that's what they're going for. Steve Wynwood, the carpenter. It's W-O-U-L-D. Someone by the handle of Steve Wynwood put the full movie out on Vimeo, and he gave me a Vimeo link, which I'll include with this episode in the description, because we did say, don't bother watching this movie.
00:03:48
Speaker
But one of the big barriers was that the only way to get this movie was to find a DVD on eBay. Yeah, that always changes our our recommendations because if this was on, and especially with a lot of my caveats, if this was streaming, I'd have a very different opinion of it.
00:04:04
Speaker
But when it comes to the price you have to pay to track it down, I didn't find it worth it. Definitely not worth it. And that's not disparaging anybody involved in the production.
00:04:15
Speaker
And me being me did not remember this movie. So I had to go back to
Behind the Scenes with Wes Fares
00:04:19
Speaker
episode 67 and listen to it. it's fun And the second it started, I was like, I remember the movie. I did end up giving the DVD to our listener, Heather, who's the one that requested it.
00:04:34
Speaker
um And they she finally watched it. I received a text from Wes, who is her significant other, and just today. So it's perfect timing.
00:04:44
Speaker
And he said, the best part of Deadly Run was when I fell asleep halfway through. He texted me the day they watched it. So two days ago. And he said, ah Deadliest Run is rough. And I said, that might be the nicest thing anyone's ever said about that.
00:05:01
Speaker
But the email continues. Oh, a couple notes from being on set. When I got there, the director was like, okay, let me do my Paul k Clinko voice. Hold on. Okay.
00:05:15
Speaker
So in this movie, yeah d is your dad is a wealthy Atlanta real estate mogul, but he has a double life. And I asked, so what's that double life?
00:05:26
Speaker
And pretty much they made it made up something like he's a secret agent. Uh, but they did have his, his kid is operating under the fact that that's a secret agent, not a serial killer. The guy that his father is a secret agent.
00:05:40
Speaker
Okay. So that's why he's playing with a gun. But he does say here, they did have an original Nintendo, uh, NES in the living room for me to go play, uh, in between takes. So I'm like, awesome. And I didn't ask any questions.
00:05:55
Speaker
I love it. That's better than craft service. Yeah, it is. Especially for a 10-year-old. You're like, cool, M&Ms are great, but you know better than Nintendo. No, I want peanut butter, M&Ms, and Nintendo.
00:06:08
Speaker
I'm 42 years old. Now we'll take a Nintendo. We got one at the brewery. ah He continues, i did not know there was a serial killer on set.
00:06:20
Speaker
Oh, fuck. That's right. you know what Not ah it's this is not on him because no one knew there was a serial killer on set yet. Yeah. Um, what I can tell you is this and that scene where the dude is yelling at me to turn down the racket, that dude, I think being his dad, I was told to imagine it was an awesome rockin eighties metal song called American geek, heavy metal riffs and such.
00:06:46
Speaker
Turns out there is no such thing as American geek. We had talked about that. Yeah. Yeah. The song doesn't exist. I don't know what bullshit they dubbed in, but that was a letdown.
00:06:57
Speaker
Oh, man. That sucks. And he finishes with, lastly, my
Future Podcast Collaborations with Wes
00:07:02
Speaker
character never dies in the film. Get ready for a Deadly Run 2, The Next Generation. ah I believe it's going to be called Deadly Runs.
00:07:12
Speaker
That's a whole different movie and it's definitely produced in Germany. I want to say a husband would totally film this for you.
00:07:20
Speaker
I can't write a script, but I think we all know I can punch one up. yeah Just give me final pass. I did send him an email and ask if was- So get the writing credit?
00:07:32
Speaker
but Yes. yeah all written by All written by Jack. All of it. The first and last person to touch me and Stallone. Okay. Well, it's a good thing that you two are the first and last people. But I emailed him back. I told him, we thank you for emailing us. Like, this is really cool.
00:07:48
Speaker
It's a pretty exciting thing for us. Yeah. You know, a nobody podcast getting a response from somebody in the movie. um But we have bodies. I did ask him if he was still trying to work in the industry at all. Like maybe he gave it up and was coming back, something like that.
00:08:05
Speaker
and And I also asked him if it would be okay for us to read the email. So he emailed back yesterday. ah hi Derek. By all means, please do give old Deadly Run a plug, especially the fact that Steve Winwood put it out on Vimeo.
00:08:19
Speaker
So again, I will put the link up to Vimeo if anybody's interested in watching it. And we are going to now probably adjust our recommendations. I mean, a half a half a thumb.
00:08:30
Speaker
I'm just I'm just saying makes it easier to watch. Yeah. I mean, it is much easier to watch. So if you if you listen to the episode, it was episode 67, by the way, it was about God, a year ago, even though we're on episode 130 something now, but we started producing a lot more. So i need a break, guys. I've been I've been held hostage in my own house. If I'm not funny, I don't eat.
00:08:53
Speaker
But he goes on to say, i haven't been in the industry. harving I haven't been in the industry since I got braces in 1996. Once I thought I was too cool for acting. i But he does mention that there's something missing from his IMDb profile.
00:09:11
Speaker
A picture? um Well, that. But he was on the intro to Tom and Jerry's Funhouse in the Oh, okay. if you go watch the intro for Tom and Jerry's Funhouse, which if I can find it on YouTube, I'll put in a link right here. Oh, he gave me a link.
00:09:26
Speaker
But he's the kid in the orange shirt. So I'll just play that right now.
00:09:32
Speaker
I don't have it loaded up for you guys. Fuck us, right? um He says, since then, I've turned toward the space industry sector. And right now I'm working on mining near or near Earth asteroids.
00:09:46
Speaker
Okay, so you're doing some fun stuff. Yeah. Holy shit. that Maybe cooler than being a serial killer. like Armageddon style near Earth asteroids? I'm getting to the end of this.
00:09:57
Speaker
I don't think they're coming at Earth, but they pass by the air and he's trying to figure out how to get shit off them. Have you ever seen the Expanse? Yeah.
00:10:08
Speaker
Love the Expanse. All right. Well, you know, Belter Loda. And then the link he gives me to the company he's with ends in.co.uk. That's why I'm like, okay, so he's in the UK. That's why he's emailing me only in the middle of the night. It's daytime. That's
Unique Podcasting Style and Listener Engagement
00:10:23
Speaker
why he's emailing Derek at the perfect time to email Derek. for Normal people would be like, I was sleeping. Derek's like, I just started my second slow gin fizz.
00:10:32
Speaker
Yeah, because this one was at 2.22 in morning. He's not mission era podcaster, guys. Sorry. Sorry. This one was at 2.22 in the morning, and I was definitely awake. Oh, I know. Oh, I know you were awake. Every now and then this dude texts me at like 9 or 10. I'm all, whoa, he's probably still awake.
00:10:51
Speaker
He's not waking up. It's probably scheduled text, honestly. Yeah, if you get a text at the time in the morning, I scheduled that shit because I didn't want text you in the middle of the night. I won't wake up for it.
00:11:02
Speaker
ah The last thing he says on this one is it's so cool that someone else knows what I've been trying to explain to my sister for years. Deadly Run is a bad movie, but it's an awesome bad movie.
00:11:14
Speaker
Please keep me lued looped in if you want to discuss more. Yeah, please. Let's do this. Yeah, so I emailed him back and I asked if he was ever interested in doing a remote session with us.
00:11:24
Speaker
Not necessarily an episode, like a movie, but just like a chat. What it was like working on the set in the 90s, things like that. um It wouldn't be any rush, so we'll see when it comes up. But he responded and said he would thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to talk more.
00:11:40
Speaker
um but He said, first, I'll want to listen to more of your y'all's episodes. I'd say in a few weeks' time I'll have done that, so I look forward to it then. so
00:11:51
Speaker
we'll get we'll get him on uh we are gearing up we're doing a lot of extra recording because we're gearing up for the triple drops of andor on han cook shots first so that'll take up a lot of restful um these guys will have to record three episodes which is like recording you know a slightly longer one episode okay well jack at least but The amount of gin that it's going to take for me to record these.
00:12:17
Speaker
I don't think the recording is going to be the hard part. going to be producing three episodes a week. so But we will have him on to talk. So we'll come up with some questions and then we'll just have a chit chat. It'll be cool to talk to someone who is in one of our movies.
00:12:30
Speaker
Yeah, I'm very excited for this. um We also have a line on someone else's wife. Yes. Do you remember... That's me. Who was Zip talking about?
00:12:43
Speaker
On... Oh, oh, um from... One of the spoopy movies we did. Yeah, yeah one of the... Was it Jason? but One of the last girls.
00:12:55
Speaker
and um yeah he We have a line on talking to another person from one of these movies, one of our movies, um who was in one of the horror movies that Zip knows. So we'll have some celebrity stuff coming up for you guys. and yeah what I'm not going to say celebrity like an asshole because they're more famous than me.
00:13:12
Speaker
I talk on the internet. They have 100% more movies than I do. Not you, but me. More movies that were released in an actual, like, buyable fashion. I mean, look, here's the thing.
00:13:24
Speaker
We are unqualified assholes. We said that from the fucking top. We have. Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, make fun of. could teach.
00:13:36
Speaker
I think or two. I mean, I got kicked out of first grade school for teaching kids how to do something. We're going to leave it there. We're going to leave right there. It wasn't masturbating. I did. I did. We're going to leave it there. When I responded to him, I told him, like, hey, we'll talk about, you know,
00:13:55
Speaker
the the indie film world and stuff like that. i was like, because I know a little bit about it. Indie! I only think of this because what you just said. I was like, the the subtitle for our podcast is a comedy podcast by unqualified assholes.
00:14:08
Speaker
Absolutely. we don't know shit. Derek has the most knowledge of production of all of He literally has degree. He's the most experience in production of all of us. And still, I think lovingly is an unqualified asshole. Yes. Yeah. He has a year experience being on the road.
00:14:26
Speaker
he has a wife with he's got a wife with ADD and a friend with ADD and depression. it somehow comes together to make this like we are we are trying. are trying. it was really exciting. And I wanted to new name for the podcast, Derek and his island of misfit friends. Oh, I thought you were just going to say we are trying.
00:14:47
Speaker
But implies I'm trying. I'm not always trying. Sometimes I'm giving up on the day. Well, there's there's there's that we are attempting and there's all- Jesus, poor fucker! Calm down. Holy shit, there's a fucking earthquake!
00:14:59
Speaker
Everyone brings for one! It started on Mary's Friday's phone, Whitney's is coming to my house any minute now! Oh, this might be the big one! Oh! I didn't do it! I didn't do it!
00:15:11
Speaker
Nothing happened! but It's just like ex-wife said, I was waiting for something and nothing came!
00:15:20
Speaker

00:15:31
Speaker
Thank you, Wes, so much. There's an actual earthquake coming, I'm sure. You can't see me looking at the camera, but thank you, Wes, so very much. Yeah, thank you. Like going cross-eyed. Yeah, it's really cool to get that email. So we appreciate it.
