Our first or our only guest, I keep saying first for some reason. You keep doing this to yourself. our Our guest this week actually needs no real big introduction, i except maybe a few people that don't know who he is.
00:01:41

Meet Peter Anthony, Award-Winning Filmmaker
00:01:59
Speaker
Let's get him in here and find out. Here's Peter Anthony. Hey, what's going on?
00:02:05
Speaker
Peter, what's happening? By the way, I did win an award for acting for Fall of Camp 1. Oh, well, okay. Yeah. you said yeah yeah you let You laid it up for me, so I had to put it in. yeah and I got him to watch Roseblood. I still got to get him to watch Vengeance, Vengeance 2, and The Fall of Camp Blood, but I figure you know i'll I'll take one step at a time with him.
00:02:32
Speaker
I've never really been into the fan films, so getting into them now, i mean it's something really cool because now it opens up more avenues for what's happened with the Friday the 13th stuff, you know what i mean? Like, there's a branch off now where we can say, hey, listen, Jason didn't.
00:02:51
Speaker
This isn't really how he died in the last one. Pay attention. Right. I love how they each tackle that. Like Fall of Camp Blood's after four, Vengeance one and two is after six, Rose Blood's after seven. Like, you know, they all have their own like way of telling what the fans would possibly think it could be, which I love that. I love that they're all different like that. Yeah.
00:03:10
Speaker
Which one did you say followed um up was in between seven and um yours is in between after seven? um i think it was New York to. um Yeah, New York to.
00:03:28
Speaker
well but ro Rosebud touches on seven, eight and nine. Right. ah You said one of the times that we talked, you said one of them said how you know they dated between eight and nine or something like that for how Jason began.
00:03:44
Speaker
He started back over. you know He was you know a kid in the end of ah New York or Manhattan. And then in ah Jason goes to hell, he's an adult again. Did did somebody ever make anything that went in between? No, not that I ever saw or know about.
00:04:01
Speaker
I thought, okay, well. But Roseblood touches seven, eight, nine, and X, actually.
Exploring Roseblood and its Creative Choices
00:04:07
Speaker
All right, so so on this Roseblood, touching on the Roseblood stuff. So, like Mark said, I got a chance to watch it.
00:04:15
Speaker
ah What is the FAST team? What does FAST stand for? I know it's a special ops team. What is FAST? They say it one time in there, the Ford Anomaly Assault Strike Team.
00:04:26
Speaker
So basically it's a team of badasses that have been put together to basically hunt things like Jason. So they basically knew who Jason was. You remember in part X when they're in the military facility, remember? yeah Yep. That's what Colonel Chase does. He said he wants to bring him back to study him for his regeneration capabilities. That's exactly what they say in X. And if you looked at the wall, that is the exact jacket.
00:04:47
Speaker
We had the collars made 3D printed of what he's wearing in the beginning of X. That cost $1,500. Just that little thing sitting on the wall is what he wears in X. We're kind of showing how eventually he gets caught and where was he in a military facility.
00:05:01
Speaker
So that's what we did with that one. um What was your, what was the other question? Or what was the other part of that question? Sorry, there was more to it I think. the So the fast team itself. Yes. So that they were hired to basically hunt down Jason and kill him. So we basically wanted to build them up like they're badasses and then have Jason come and say, you're nothing and just roll right through you, which is kind of what we did.
00:05:22
Speaker
Gotcha. Gotcha. yeah so So my favorite character from Fast Team, just so you guys know, is is it Blade? is that the gu Is that what we call him? The guy with the knife. Cutter.
00:05:33
Speaker
That guy is fantastic. I love that guy. He's going to hear this and love you for this. so that's I love that guy. He's fantastic. yeah I don't know if I can swallow a bullet like like the young lady did in the movie either. Cutter. That striker.
00:05:47
Speaker
that thats striker No, that's what I'm saying. that's I couldn't do that ah either. But what I'm saying, no, yeah yeah. Where I got that from was my one of my favorite movies is The Crow.
00:05:58
Speaker
If you remember The Crow, fire it up. They swallow a bullet. So I like, oh, I got to put that in there because that would be something a badass team would do. you know and then And then during the kill, I'm like, well, I'll have the fucking bullet come out because we're cutting her stomach open.
00:06:10
Speaker
Yeah, that was really cool. Yeah, that was a really really good caveat there. I like that. but Thanks. Now, when... Brian was watching Roseblood. He did have one problem with the movie.
00:06:22
Speaker
I think that's about really what it was. Well, and what was so a a prior military. yeah The facial hair's got to go. 100%. So even the general. And I was told that you're never seen without your beard. And I was like, look, I get it. He's a joke. i've never so got a I've never seen him without his goatee or skin know nothing. So um there's a does a gentleman there's two gentlemen there that were they are military. The colonel, Chase, by the way, had a... So long story short, five days before the film was released, I fired five actors.
00:06:54
Speaker
five days before, two weeks before our Tina got replaced. She was in Europe and she's like oh by the way, I can't come. I'm like, what do you what do you mean? You're on the IMDb, like we've already promoted you, everything's, what are you talking about? So that Jessica Hotman who played young Tina had to learn those lines within less than two weeks, which is amazing.
00:07:12
Speaker
But back to the Colonel, that that guy is Tommy Lee Driver. He's a well-known actor. he He's military for 25 years. And there's a guy, Joe Wilson, that's actually a Silver Cross winner, I think, from Afghanistan, who basically did all the outfits for us and everything.
00:07:27
Speaker
And they told me, you will not have the beard. And they also told me, when you come into the building, you take your hat off. I'm like, I don't give a shit. got to have one goddamn shot with the fucking cover on. So that was the deal. I went to goatee from the beard because I look like I'm 12 if I shave it all. and and that was a deal And I got shit from a lot of people about that. And and you're right. It's just, hey, I wasn't doing it for that.
00:07:50
Speaker
yeah i thought I thought I was i was like, man, Mark, I don't know. They they could have shaved their faces. But then he was like, yeah, Peter doesn't. He doesn't walk around. I was like, I get it. Because if I shave mine, then I look like Uncle Fester.
00:08:05
Speaker
You're not as heavy. Uh-oh, I think Peter's frozen, Mark.
00:08:12
Speaker
Oh, let's hope not.
00:08:16
Speaker
Let's give it a second. What'd you do? and on I didn't do anything. Is Dan McDonald's Wi-Fi?
00:08:29
Speaker
You got to fix it, man. How am I supposed to fix it? I have no idea. there he is. Holy cow.
00:08:42
Speaker
Oh, wait. but up He's going in slow motion. Peter, if you can hear us, you're frozen a little bit. how about now? I can hear you. but Okay. We're starting to catch up.
00:08:56
Speaker
Am I still frozen? No, you're good now. You're better now. you're better now So yeah, the shaving thing I knew is one of those decisions where I was and I had to regrow it again for another part and I was just like, I'm not doing it.
00:09:09
Speaker
So that that was it.
Behind-the-Scenes Challenges of Roseblood
00:09:11
Speaker
But I take the criticism. By the way, the medals on me are exact. So if I was in my 40s in 1989, I would have been in Vietnam and all those things are exact. Even the way they are. The guy Joe put them all together the way they're supposed to be. Same with the colonel. So the colonel had his own outfit too, but because I fired the other guy, the other guy was 180. Tommy Lee driver is like 230. He's a brick. So he didn't fit in it. So we had to put him in the ah in the other fatigue. So that sucked. But
00:09:42
Speaker
i thought Other than that, I thought i like you know the the way that everything else played out was really good, too. Because we're back That takes place in early right? Part 7 was filmed in May 13, 1988. This is 13 months later. It shows it on the bottom. It's June 13, 1989.
00:10:00
Speaker
this is thirteen months later okay yeah it shows it on the bottom it's june thirteenth nineteen eighty nine And that's why, so if you look at the military today, then everything's digital camo.
00:10:11
Speaker
So you're absolutely spot on with the the original fatigues, the green camo. You have no idea how hard it was to go get all that. That general suit, that was a 54 chest there.
00:10:23
Speaker
That general suit is thousands of dollars to to find it from that era. What they would have had with those pens, those things, thousands of dollars. it was I tried to get it like as most exact as I could.
00:10:35
Speaker
Yeah, and so a lot of ah lot of people that do movies and stuff like that, they don't follow what's real. So they'll just be like, oh, hey, check it out. I found these these little buttons. Let's put these on there. yeah And the next thing you know, you have like this giant eagle over here on one lapel that makes no sense. And then you've got a couple of stars over here on this lapel. And it's like, what's that? the hell are you guys doing? He even had my US's. He's like, the US's have to be on a 45. And this and that has to be this many inches from this. And he was like, exactly. That was great. that was right you guys i like
00:11:11
Speaker
And brought him out there. He's the guy that gets kicked through the door. Yes. Yeah. That's Joe Wilson. so um yeah but the only only Everybody was spot on with all the military stuff. Even the MP. I got MPs hitting me up. they're like That's exactly how we wore it back then.
00:11:25
Speaker
So everybody was except for they said the hat, the cover inside. they like the general could wear his cover inside. Nobody would really say anything, but. Anybody else forget about it. Yeah. Yeah. But but the facial hair, they're like, no way. So i was like even the watch I had was from 1989. OK. Yeah.
00:11:42
Speaker
yeah But and but not. Did you have a question about not seeing Jason? Right. We were talking earlier. So, yeah. So, you know, when Mark told me, he's like, oh, man, you're going to love this movie.
00:11:53
Speaker
It starts off with Jason because I didn't see it. I didn't catch that part. He says it starts off with Jason and then it goes into this facility and in the facility, they actually bring him back.
00:12:07
Speaker
And I'm like, well, what are you talking about? So now I got to watch Now I got to know what's going on. But I didn't catch it at the beginning. I didn't see Jason. he's He's underwater for five minutes while the guy's introducing the movie.
00:12:18
Speaker
Got it. Yeah. He's going as a legend around here. We took the actual Walt Corny, Crazy Ralph from part one and two, actually narrated the beginning of part seven, which is the last of the narrations of all the Friday the 13th films.
00:12:31
Speaker
So I actually did the narration because I think I have a deeper voice and I could do it, but my buddy's like, everyone's going to recognize you. So I had another guy do it and Jason's underwater, floating underwater when the when the movie starts like that to show that he's still in the lake, kind of like they did in six and seven.
00:12:46
Speaker
yes but But back to not seeing him right away. See, that's what vent you would love vengeance because vengeance one and two. Jason's in it the whole time killing 40, 50 people. So yeah yeah, in my film, I wanted to build each character and I think we did a good job. So by the end, you really care about what happens to Rose. You really care when these things happen. You're rooting for the general to die. So on and so forth. So that was always the goal. And I knew I'd always take heat from it because there's people who just want to put in the movie and relax and not worry about a story.
00:13:14
Speaker
So I didn't want to go that route. You know, i wanted to make it a little different. See, I told him once he watched it and I said, you see what I meant by, you know, Jason's not in there. And he goes, yeah. I said, well, it's sort of like what they did with Halloween Ends.
00:13:30
Speaker
you know, they didn't have Michael on the screen for so many times, you know, for so long. But when they did it it was meaningful. Yeah. but Halloween ends is a bad thing just because it was so Terry, so weak. I feel like our Jason. Using that as are a reference point yeah because of how they did it. But yes, I agree with you on that one. If it was a standalone movie, did you stop?
00:13:53
Speaker
if we were If it was a standalone movie, um it probably would have been different. Yeah. Yeah. but what are you What are you guys up to on views on that now? I tried to, I i i didn't read too much into that, but where are you at on views on that now?
00:14:08
Speaker
Should be way more, but 365 or something like that. thousand But I mean, we got 3 million for Vengeance 1. there's a whole There's a whole politic thing behind that that ah we could spend hours into. There's other film producers and makers of fan films that are very jealous and They purposely go to podcasters and make sure they don't podcast or review certain films. And there's a big political thing with that.
00:14:33
Speaker
Yeah. And that's our thing. Like Mark and I, we're not trying to be political, you know, at all. We don't want to bring any of that into It at and it kills, all it kills stuff. Once you start yeah bringing politics and you take a side and and people.
00:14:49
Speaker
Now Mark's frozen. Here we go. Yeah. Oh boy. Oh, goody Mark. I think he's sitting over at McDonald's right now on their Wi-Fi. ah Yeah.
00:15:02
Speaker
I don't know what the hell's going on with this today. i don't know. We were testing it earlier and it was working fine. We did a whole hour almost straight up with no issues.
00:15:13
Speaker
Shit happens. I'm going blame it on your side. Yeah, it's definitely Spectrum. I'm going blame it on um you know everybody but me. yes but But Jason, at the end, I feel like you missed him, like a Jaws effect.
00:15:28
Speaker
And when you got him, it was balls to the wall, which is basically how Seven was. He was a balls to the wall over the top killer. and that's Oh, yeah. he didn't He didn't. He was relentless, man. I mean, the minute he was set free, if ah he there wasn't a hallway that he didn't walk down in there the where he didn't kill somebody. I was just like this. Yeah. And that's the that's the problem. like You can't have him in the building for an hour and not do anything.
00:15:52
Speaker
you know So that doesn't make any sense. if Once he's in the building, going kill everybody. So how could that last an hour? right so And then people are like, well, you should have killed some campers. i'm like, that is so generic. I would never do that in 100 years. I have no nudity, no sex, no drugs. like That's the stupid... Don't get me wrong. I love that shit. I up with it. But it's just like, why do you have to have it? If it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. you know i right and In your case, it didn't fit. it didn't fit am i gonna have it would It wouldn't have made any sense on any of it because they were already locked up and it was already a confined space. and know
00:16:25
Speaker
How many times did you revise that the script? The script, seven times. Editing the film, you know, months and months and months. Now, did you do more revisits because you had people that were going to be in the movie and then couldn't be in the movie because they were somewhere else?
00:16:44
Speaker
no so the parts i never changed the parts um it's just um continuity how i would get from one to another could we shoot here could we do this could could we make this building could we you know what i'm saying so those things hindered what we were going to do so that changed the writing um and then ah so military jason brooks helped me with this military always addresses you by name You know what I'm saying?
00:17:09
Speaker
So by your rank or title, like almost every time they talk, they address you that way. So when i wrote it, I had it like that way. But then even though it's proper, it became too much. Like you're constantly saying people's names too much. So I took that out, like things like that.
00:17:23
Speaker
um The final scene, we changed around a bunch of times. I wasn't going to have Rose die. Then I had Rose die, which I think was a huge impact. I thought that worked because you almost were sad that she died. you know yeah and the rose character too is very tough because i think i think we nailed it i hope we nailed it like she's bad and evil yet you're kind of on her side even jessica knows she's evil when she comes out of the room full of blood yeahs like she knows she goes it's not my blood she knows she did something horrible but she's like a mother and she just wants to she was there to protect her right that's what i think that's one of my favorite lines especially how she did it it's not my blood
00:17:59
Speaker
yeah I had to rewatch. I rewatched it today. And my wife watched it with me. And my my son actually watched it with me. and i'm like this is uh and i showed her who you were and she goes who's that i said that's uh peter anthony he's he's a friend of that i've been talking with on uh on facebook um interviews and stuff like that she goes oh i said yeah i keep putting him in for um you know to be at the spookpalooza right here in ocala right by us i you know the one i went to last year And she goes, oh.
00:18:31
Speaker
I said, yeah. So if he actually does make it to that one, you know I want to go up to that one, even if you're the only one that I meet there. Thanks, man. I mean, go on. Appreciate it.
00:18:42
Speaker
But she liked the movie. She she said that it was ah really good. And my son, well, it he don't count. He just he just he looked at it and he just looked at it. He's too young to even know, really, from Jump Street what Jason was all about, I think. Never mind. I tie into 7, 8, and 9. You know what I'm saying? i didn't catch ryan I don't know if you caught that Michael's in the movie the whole time.
00:19:09
Speaker
The whole time? The whole time. Did you know that? No, I saw Michael at the end where he fights. You saw him at the end, correct. Who killed Rose's parents?
00:19:21
Speaker
Michael did. Michael did. Who built up was manifested inside that room that had the kitchen knife come through the door? Who's pure evil? who Who has no face?
00:19:31
Speaker
Michael. wow that was always michael we hinted at you and then she was doing the drawing in red that was michael with his lapel that was his kitchen knife that was him who killed her parents nobody entered the room no one left the room it was always michael damn i didn't catch it yeah you gotta to watch it you'll catch a lot more stuff yeah well now that you're saying and it now i'm like sitting there going oh damn dude yeah i did see that part i know what i'm what you're talking about did you catch the duke when he calls his wife who his son is No, but I did. I did. that He's a boxer.
00:20:03
Speaker
He was boxing or something. Julius from part eight. oh Oh, I didn't even think of that at that time. His head knocked off. Yeah, that's it. Right. again Oh, boxing again. that That's Julius. Yeah. I didn't would see.
00:20:17
Speaker
Again, I never even thought about that. Yeah. There's tons like that. If you watch it two, three times, you'll catch like 10 more, 20 more. Right. So and you did say that you changed a lot, that you revised the script a lot. if now Now watching everything and the way it's everything's played out.
00:20:37
Speaker
If somebody says, hey, Peter, let's do another Roseblood.
The Influence of Backers on the Film's Length
00:20:41
Speaker
Let's do it exactly like we did, but let's change stuff. What would you change? Great question. um So in in in reality, I couldn't, if I wanted to keep it the same, I couldn't change anything because every single one of those people that were on screen paid to be there.
00:20:59
Speaker
Not only did they pay to be there, they asked some of those guys were on set for a week helping out. So sometimes people say, well, maybe this the whole movie was 15 minutes a little bit too long or it lagged here, it lagged there. The problem is when you have backers that are great people that give you $2,000, $2,500, you have to put them in the movie. You have to give lines and parts. So you try to weave that into the story. And the way I did it was by all the old 80s props. So every time you saw somebody that would might be a boring scene, they had the Sega, they had the Super Nintendo. you know what I'm saying? They had those things to try to push them, the Magic 8-Ball, to try to push that story forward. So if I could do it all over again, I would also dress the rooms way better. We had no time. We shot the whole thing in eight days.
00:21:39
Speaker
But I would make all the white wall. I'd have more stuff on there. Just that I did all this from Connecticut and shipped it on skids to Seattle. Okay. and then tried to put it all up and our skid got lost and they didn't know where it was. it was during the COVID times where everything was backed up. And so I would change that.
00:21:54
Speaker
um Some things you you look back but as a writer and you're like i wish I wrote that different. But then other times you're thinking, well, if somebody was a different actor, they probably would have nailed that a little better. um But i don't I don't know if I'd change too much. i would change the the interior design of the building a little more to add a little more depth.
00:22:13
Speaker
and And that's it. Because if I say I would change certain actors, I wouldn't have the film. So it's hard to say that. Yeah, no, I wasn't thinking actors either. I think adding more people maybe would have would have been a little bit better only because Jason would have got more kills.
00:22:29
Speaker
I think that would have been really cool. yeah but but But I don't know what you're paying for the blood either. so Then you take away from the main characters. because like if If I ask you who what was Rose, you know exactly what she was. right She's like in between. And then Dr. Sykes, you're like he's almost a victim. right You kind of like him, but he's just a victim following orders. And then the general's like a total dick.
00:22:48
Speaker
And then so is MP Strang in the fast. So once you add like 10 more characters, five more characters for deaths, they don't mean anything. And don't get me wrong. A lot of people love that shit, but I don't. I want everybody to have a meaning to it. You know what I'm saying? That's the way I did it.
00:23:04
Speaker
That's a great question, though, because I mean, like I'm a perfectionist and I hate everything I do, including a lot of the Mike. You got to remember, we'd be on set and they'd like, you're up. I'm like, wait, minute I'm up. and they're like, you got to act. And I'm like, I don't know my fucking lines.
00:23:17
Speaker
like I need time. Yeah. So I would look at my lines. if i If I could go back, like especially when the the the generals first introduced in the hall, I hate my performance there. so i wish i could go back and just those actors are have it easy man they just sit around and get into character all day and they practice it 50 000 times i i never read the lines until 10 minutes before i went so i wish i could do that again so how many edits did you do after reading the lines because i told mark i said mark man i'm go to send you a couple of things i did a little quick 20 second commercial for our podcast
00:23:50
Speaker
yeah And I was like, Hey, my name is Brian. i'm one half of talking shit. Yada, yada, yada. I did this thing 37 times. I hated every single one of them. Yeah. Um,
00:24:01
Speaker
I probably, we i mean, if you got one or two good takes, we just used it. So messing up, I probably messed up each scene the most of anybody, probably three times for me to, and then two good takes, get it?
00:24:14
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. So so that's how, I mean, some of it, that dialogue when I'm in there talking about what's on TV, that's pretty long to remember all that and walk back and forth. And I wanted to walk back and forth and so on and so forth. So, but everyone else was pros. Everyone else nailed it.
00:24:27
Speaker
Good taken.
00:24:30
Speaker
Mark, I feel like I'm asking all the questions. i No, no, no, no. i know I told you this one was this one. I wanted you to, you know, take charge of first because I wanted to hear what you have to say because you just seen the movie compared to I seen it last year.
00:24:46
Speaker
Well, because I know I know that everybody talks about, you know, i I think I would have changed certain things like I would have changed this. I would have changed that. I did a did a commercial for our our place of employment the other day.
00:24:57
Speaker
I know I would changed but the commercial if I could have done it all over again. Well, there's one huge change that we couldn't fix. So Marcio Charlie made the costume. And when Jason comes out of the water, he has no mask on because at the end of seven, it was broken. Remember? Yeah. Yep. So, and by the way, all those weapons on the wall are from seven and all those weapons are from NECA. And that's how he gets a McIntyre wrote it in that they were cocky and that's why they did it. So we were going to show Jason faceless or maskless. Sorry. The whole time he kills the fast There's going a scene where he, him and Brolic were face to face like that. And the guy, Marcio Charlie from, from Brazil sent the fucking thing two days before. I paid him six months before that.
00:25:38
Speaker
And he sent the the item two days before on two day air. Wow. And somebody from Brazil punched a hole in it and stole the hood underneath, which is the number one thing. Oh, man. We did not have the hood underneath. can do all those kills faceless because at the end, when he goes up and picks the weapon, he was supposed to go up and pick his mask.
00:25:57
Speaker
with an iconic shot so we then had to write on the fly that they're outside joking and the other guy wears the mask that was literally in five minutes that he's wearing the mask and that's how it goes on the ground and that's how we got it so that way people seem to like it but i would love them to have the really see his face we paid so much money for that to really see his face during all those kills and then put on them and then turn that's saying what he did outside you was supposed to do inside yeah what was it like working with jason brooks on that one best Jason ever man guy is just so talented and he's got his own special effects company he's got like 20 projects going on right now he's a writer director producer special effects props you you name it he's he's the best he he was in that so because the hood was wrong he used the vengeance hood in certain scenes so if you look at the door he's got ears he doesn't have the ears and and Rosebud later on he only has it in the beginning because it's the vengeance hood
00:26:52
Speaker
Right. there so And then later on, the next day aired ah um like a mold one, which is not meant to be worn. And it was so hard on him, dude. He was getting headaches. It was like that thick. You're not supposed to wear it.
00:27:04
Speaker
So he he's just the best Jason ever. Super humble guy. Always helping out. i mean, you talk to anybody who works with him, and he's just phenomenal. Plus, he's huge. He's like 6'5", 240. He just looks great.
00:27:16
Speaker
So he he needs to be a more of the films then. He's in Vengeance 1, Vengeance 2, Roseblood, and Up All Night. So he's been Jason four times. Perfect. perfect Yeah, he's phenomenal. Once you watch Vengeance 2, he directed that, produced that, wrote that, you'll be like, wow, that is a,
00:27:32
Speaker
ah different level I've talked i've talked to a lot about Vengeance 1, 2, and Roseblood, Fall of Camp Blood. i I've only watched ah you know a few times, but you know I tell them to watch those because they're all produced.
00:27:47
Speaker
you know Well, either have you in it or you're producing them. Right. There's other good ones too, but yeah, Fall of Camp Blood, lower budget one, real fun though after four, and I have a ton of acting in that. I get in a fight scene in the bar, i end up tearing my shoulder in real life, had that s surgery, it was crazy.
00:28:03
Speaker
Yeah, i didn't I didn't tell you that one, Brian, I was going to let him tell you that one. I fought a real MMA guy, Jonathan Ivey, with 150
00:28:11
Speaker
So, and my shoulder went out like so bad. So I tore, you have four major rotator cuffs. And I tore three of them and I snapped my bicep off, dislocated my shoulder and we did like 20 more takes.
00:28:24
Speaker
yeah Then I flew home, have to have had to put back on, and then we, six months later, three months later, flew back out. It was winter and finished the barn scene with me rolling around and stuff. it was It was winter, so we took a flamethrower and burned all the snow on the grass. So when you see the shot outside the barn, it looks like it's grass, but it's actually burnt.
00:28:43
Speaker
yeah so So you were in a lot of pain through through that one then. If you go, and I'll send you a behind the scenes. When I go to throw Jonathan Ivey in that movie, like I tell him, I cannot throw you.
00:28:54
Speaker
My arm is not even on my body right now. So you'll see my right arm not not touch him. And then you'll see me go take my jacket off. I can barely get my jacket off. Then I have to throw a right hand punch and land an inch from a guy who is an m MMA legend while your shoulder's out.
00:29:08
Speaker
So we did that like five times. So it it was a mofo. But, you know, everybody's there. there's people from five different states. They rented this bar. It's like, I don't want to be the guy that ruins it, you know?
00:29:20
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. i I put money down on that on Fall of Camp Blood. um I'm buying Roseblood. ah I got a good deal on vengeance and vengeance too, for when it comes out. So, I mean, I'll have them all.
00:29:37
Speaker
Awesome. Thank you. I appreciate it. I released some of that behind the scenes on Rosebud. Yeah. Yeah. I seen that. pretty Oh, you got that Mark. Oh, I i got to wait for it to come in. There was one day. Yeah.

So like you like Germany, let's say you want to send something there. I was like, oh, twenty five dollars. Bullshit.

00:32:16
Speaker
Yeah. An hour, hour, 20 minutes. Where? From there. We're a home assassin. We're in Citrus County. And I'm in Lakanto. So yeah, we're only about five, maybe five miles from each other. If that.
00:32:29
Speaker
okay yeah I used to go to um Clearwater Beach. Was it Pier 50, whatever? the real nice pier there where Hogan grew. My buddy lived in Orlando and that was I-4 for like an hour, hour 10. used to go visit him there.
00:32:39
Speaker
so Good time. I-4 is retarded now. It was always retarded. It's just much more... It's so bad. When I was there, 2000 to 2002, they had a huge fire on I-4. don't know if you remember. Literally for a month, it would smell like smoke driving down the street.
00:32:57
Speaker
Yeah. You could smell it all the way over here. yeah for but I was 24 back then, so I was in good shape and I was going to clubs and stuff like used to go to Ybor City all the time and get fucked up. that's my That's where my oldest daughter went. I'm like, what the hell? Why would you go to Ybor? Ybor was fun until I stopped drinking and then it wasn't no fun anymore.
00:33:20
Speaker
I didn't even go to Ybor. I thought that place was... Yeah, i got in I got in there when I was 18. They just hand me my drinks and, okay. You could go. mean, there's there's like shitty clubs in there and then there's nice clubs. So you got to just you know pick where you go.
00:33:32
Speaker
Yeah. So New Haven, Connecticut is where you're at? Yes. That's where you live? That's where you're from? Yep. yeah What's your high school? Shout out to your high school?
00:33:44
Speaker
Sheehan High School, baby. Yeah. Sheehan? Sheehan. S-E-H-A-N. Yeah. Now, when you were in high school, did you take any acting, any drama classes or anything like that?
00:33:56
Speaker
Never. I've never taken any director, producer, writing or acting classes. So, me you yeah, the so go ahead, Mark. What what made you decide to take on this role? You know, all those roles into one or not in one, but.
00:34:10
Speaker
all together knowing that you've never done it? um Three things. One of them is I always kind of like we used to do our own radio show. Me and my brother like pretend and we recorded on and a cassette and then we'd make our own movies. I'd make horror movies when I was little. But you never I never thought that that was the but like oh that's what kids do. You know, I never thought that I was different at it. And then growing up, everyone's like, man, you should be in movies. Like you're just outgoing personality, this, that, whatever. And then getting involved with like Voorhees first and then Vengeance.
00:34:39
Speaker
And then people like, oh, you're doing good. And then I'll give you the cocky number three, which is a lot of the truth. I would watch people who made movies or did shit and be like, that dude sucks. I could do that. So and and then I would just try. And yeah, I failed at certain things. But the the real talent is me surrounding myself with everybody who's great, like Jason Brooks. like the DP Cody, like Sean Lutas as producer, like and just asking. All I do is ask what what what about this? What about that? What about that? Very humble. And on set, people change the movie a lot of times, like Terry Kaiser changed it. Cody did. Jason, you should do this. And I listen because two minds, three minds, four minds is better than one. And 90 percent of the time I listen to him. Only like 10 percent would I say no, because the vision, they can't do that.
00:35:23
Speaker
So being humble, listening, and you got to be confident. You got to be confident that you think you can do it Because it's it's like, it's a long story short, but my house here, I redid it electrically. i didn't know anything about electrical. And I have electrical buddies that are E1s, E2s, and they're fucking morons.
00:35:38
Speaker
They can't even hold down their
Peter Anthony's Approach to Learning and Filmmaking
00:35:40
Speaker
life. They can't pay their bills. I'm like, there's no way his brain can do it and I can't. So I would just read books and now there's YouTube videos. And so you can do it if you if you apply yourself. I'm going to pass on the electrical stuff. i My buddy...
00:35:53
Speaker
another friend, not Mark, another friend of mine says, hey, yeah I'll come over and we'll we'll wire up your garage. Fantastic. Well, that's back when I used to have hair and I decided, you know, going to go out in the garage and I'll shave my head out in the garage. Well, the clippers caught on fire.
00:36:10
Speaker
So I had to actually call an electrician to find out what the hell was going on He was like, well, you know, here's the big problem. You cross these two wires here in your panel. I was never here, by the way.
00:36:20
Speaker
I was like, okay. wow i i don't know i don't know what the hell happened but you know it got corrected that's all i care about we didn't set the house on fire so that's that's gotta to be a blast but even so even for that you probably learned what to do instead of not do right i did i learned to call an electrician listen we pay people for that man let's just pay them and even i can do it down we can call and and say it was the electrician's phone even i can do uh plugs and switches
00:36:51
Speaker
I won't touch anything else, but that's about it. You want to a story, Mark? Well, I went to my parents' house, now that I thought I was great, and I went to their house. I was changing my mom's outlet one out, was like, oh, I'll change it. So I put in my meters in the top plug, and it said zero, zero.
00:37:04
Speaker
So I'm like, oh, we're good. So I went and did it and tried to undo the button. I went and touched it with the two things, and the shit went flying out of my hands. was like, what the fuck? Well, they wired it they wired it so the top the bottom was always hot. So when you flick the switch, the lamp would always go on and off. But the other one wasn't. So they I didn't know you could do that. I didn't know you could wire one always hot and one by a switch. So now from then on, I always learn and test them all.
00:37:28
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. You know, I can do certain things around here, too. But, you know, there's obviously there's people that are going to do it a lot better than me. I'm no carpenter. You know, I wasn't raised to be a carpenter.
00:37:40
Speaker
I'm good at sales. That's what I do. I'm good at finance stuff. I'm in sales too. What do you do? I sell automation. So I sell robots, lasers, anything automation for businesses, CNC machines, stuff like that.
00:37:54
Speaker
Okay. What's the company? Lindy. Lindy. Okay. I think I've heard of that Yeah, pretty much the big... I was going to say that's a pretty big company, isn't it? Yeah, billions. They do gases too. So all like um bulk gases or spec gases or welding gases or any gases, oxygen, yeah you name it. Sean Lutis is the producer on Vengeance 1, 2, Roseblood, and Fall of Camp Blood.
00:38:18
Speaker
Gotcha. How you doing, Sean?
00:38:22
Speaker
Hopefully he'll get back to me um when ah his daughter can do the interview. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's right. You told me about that. Yeah, I'm trying to get her for the 21st of this month because, you know, it's my would have been my grandfather's 97th birthday, but he passed away last year.
00:38:38
Speaker
And then my best friend died on ah his birthday and it'll be a year mark. So instead of taking it off and, you know, sulking, um I want to try to get her on here and, you know, do something good.
00:38:54
Speaker
Yeah, we can actually try to get Rose from Roseblood on here. So that would be that'd be really cool if we can do that. Yeah, she's going to UCLA or USC. So they're like in the process of doing that up.
00:39:07
Speaker
Right. Yeah. Peter, what advice would you give anybody that wants to make a fan film? It's going sound generic, but Nike, baby, just do it.
00:39:20
Speaker
So, I mean, i i was in Vengeance 1, and then when I had an idea for Roseblood, I was like, well, I'll make this 20-minute short of Part 7 because I love Part 7. And I was like, you'll do it. And then I just started writing it.
00:39:33
Speaker
I gave it to Brooks. He's like, this is a full-length feature. And I'm like, is it? And then it was, okay, well, how do I get money? And then can I get Lar? I got Lar Park Lane. You know those three people are from the original 7, right? Mm-hmm.
00:39:45
Speaker
Yeah, so then I got Laura, then I got Terry, then I got Kevin, and then it became bigger, then Sean built the building. and But you know, the problem with people in anything, when someone says you could do anything, they're 100% right. It's just nobody ever starts it.
00:39:59
Speaker
You gotta start it and put the pressure on yourself. yeah Oh, there you go. That was good question. Once you start it, make it real, make an INDB, make a page. And, you know, now it's on. It's like the pressure's on you. So you just got these goals. I got to write today. I got to do this today. And if you don't do that, you keep saying, well I'll get to it. You're never going to get to it.
00:40:19
Speaker
Yeah, I got to put a handrail up at each step on the back porch before they cancel my insurance. So I keep telling myself I got to do that. So yeah I have to hire somebody to do that. Do you have a list of things to do every day?
00:40:35
Speaker
Do listen? I have I have a wife. so Yes. Listen, that that list, grows it grows exponentially over time. And it's like, well, the other day you just wanted me to put the sink in. Now, all of a sudden, we're doing a countertop and we're doing this.
00:40:52
Speaker
I love you. But Jesus, slow down, please. For me, and you if you watch these really successful people, and I'm not saying I'm one of them, but you got to write a list. So every day I write a list of 10 or 20 things. And then I'll go, if because you'll forget. you know There's so many things you got to do. And then you'll say, okay, it doesn't matter if you don't get them all. You might do three. You might do five. You cross it out. And then the next day I write the list again.
00:41:13
Speaker
New, because I've achieved that. I don't want to look at a list and see five cross paths and think, well, I did the five. I'm good. No, no, no. I want to see the list of what I didn't do. and And that's ah constantly on myself like that with everything. Like, what am I gonna do for my health today? Like I lost 50 pounds recently. What am I gonna do with this? How am I gonna visit my parents? um I stopped texting my mom and dad and I call them every time now. How am I gonna be better at this? i just constantly write it down.
00:41:36
Speaker
attempt it's it's it's it's a It's insane for some people, but for me, it's normal. nice No, you you have you have a goal sheet. That's i yeah's perfect. that's That's really cool. I think that a a lot of our listeners maybe including myself, maybe we'll probably start doing that. I think that that's probably something that I need to probably do. it's It's not real unless you see it.
00:41:59
Speaker
Oh, my wife would shit if I did it. you know, the stuff she wants me to do. Yeah, because I literally think it's always about get up, have a cup of coffee, go work my butt off, try to make as much money as possible, and then come home and try to relax.
00:42:14
Speaker
yeah But there's stuff that has to get done, too. you know It's like, I've got to empty this dishwasher, build a dishwasher, go mow the lawn, weed eat, whatever. You know what I mean? so yeah it it does You don't mow your lawn.
00:42:29
Speaker
Are you kidding me right now? No. No, we don't have a fancy mower out there. for Oh, wait wait wait a minute. That's me. I have somebody mow my grass. Oh, yeah. That's...
00:42:40
Speaker
I remember growing up, my dad had the old mower that didn't have the engage that you had to push. My mom had one of those. She would only make us use it when we were in trouble, me and my brother.
00:42:51
Speaker
If we were in trouble, we had to use it on the lawn. If not, we got to use the regular. Yeah, it was before it came out. I mean, I'm 46. What the fuck am I? 46. I'll be 47 in May. So we weren't we didn't have a lot of money. So in the beginning, that's all you had when I was like 10.
00:43:06
Speaker
so um And he had about an acre. But the good thing of my dad is he's such a hard worker and he instills values in you. He's old school. is If you mowed the lawn, he gave you $5, which is a big thing.
00:43:18
Speaker
Oh, that's a huge pack back in yeah like in the 80s, right? Because it's 80s, 90s timeframe. I was doing the same thing back when I lived in the Orlando area.
00:43:28
Speaker
Before I knew you, Mark, I was i was out with the lawnmower. I'm like knocking on people's doors. I'm like, hey, five bucks, I'll mow your lawn. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the crazy thing, my dad paid for the gas, so it's a pure profit. you know? So, um but yeah, things like that. But he even he'd work us all the time, man. My dad was like, man, he just, he loves working. he So I'm so different. So I have a goal, right? We need to achieve this goal today. This is what we're going to do. if it's if we If you can tell me, you, Brian, and you, Mark, how we can do it quicker and get it done, I'm listening.
00:43:59
Speaker
Him, he wants to work eight hours. So that's just the way Old school Italian. He's from the old school. i what he is. So we wake up on a Saturday. We were really good at sports, and my brother. And our house was connected to the park. So there was a basketball field, a baseball field, and the basketball court.
00:44:13
Speaker
so And my mom is Spanish, and she cooked great Spanish food. So between me and my brother being good athletes, everything being there, my mom cooking, my house was the house. You know what saying? That's where all the kids are going?
00:44:24
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. but My dad, we wake up Saturday to go play sports and my dad's like, oh, no, no, no. We're going get three cords of wood dropped off. We're going to cut it, split it and stack it. I'm like, what? I'm like, can we do it after? He wouldn't let us go play. yeah Listen, but he's like winners right around the corner. We've got all this has got to dry out.
00:44:41
Speaker
yeah with they again Then he would in enlist my friends because he'd be like, well, if you help, he'll get done quicker. so but But then it would never end. So then you you did the wood, you stacked it, you did all that. I'm 10 years old. Then he's like, well, there's chips all over the lawn.
00:44:54
Speaker
We got to rake the lawn. So we rake where the lawn is. Well, if you're going to rake some of the lawn, you got to rake it all. You might as well. yep acre So it just never ended. He just loved working.
00:45:04
Speaker
Eight hours worth. No, dude. Listen, I tell i got this mentality if you can If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. So if there's a way to if there's a way to do something a little bit quicker, get it done quicker. So cheat at it if you have to to get it done. yeah you know He took pride in it. He would he would then step back and like look at the stacked wood and be like, you know who else would have done that? you know Me and my kids.
00:45:30
Speaker
Splinters. There's no gloves. We got splinters and shit in us. you know Yeah, I still don't wear gloves, man. I still get all beat up. yeah We were just out there doing that earlier, pulling them ah pulling up some logs with a but the four-wheeler.
00:45:46
Speaker
yeah We dropped this tree a while ago, and the and the logs had just been laying there. and I was like, all right, they're rotten enough. They're ready for the fire pit. Let's let's get it. They're heavy as hell. oh yeah so so We had to hook them to the four-wheeler and pull them around over to the fire pit. That's what I got to do.
00:46:03
Speaker
I dropped a tree about six months ago, waiting for that to come out. So shout out to my son-in-law, Brandon, for all his help. Hard work. it's like buddy My buddy has a stump eater, dude. That thing is the shit.
00:46:16
Speaker
Oh, where it just grinds down the stump? It grinds it down, then you get all the stuff. yeah Yeah. Yeah, but then you got wood chips in your yard, and then guess what you got to do? You got to go break the whole yard. Yeah. Well, he the deal is with him is, because he's a buddy, he'll do it for like cost, but he'll take the shavings back.
00:46:31
Speaker
oh wow that's cool what the hell is he gonna use a shavings for i don't even know i got tons buddies like that i got buddies uh my parents we dropped like six trees and he's like i'll drop the tree but i take all the wood for firewood i'm like yeah i don't give a yeah have a beautiful time yeah most of our guys here they're like well we can cut the tree down it's 200 we can chop it up and take it with us it's another 200 and i'm like leave it there just cut it up and leave it there right That's it it's crazy because if you put wood out, let's say, in front of your house, free wood, that shit's gone right away. Especially up here in the Northeast, you know where people use it all the time. That's just free gas money, really.
00:47:07
Speaker
yeah Yeah. I think every once in while you see that driving around in our neighborhood. Like I said, people are doing bonfires all the time. I had my first fried turkey down there in St. Pete. In St. Pete?

00:48:11
Speaker
Really? So i got my ass handed to me on a regular. You got stretched. So bad, dude. Like, you want to talk about some big boys in a wrestling ring? i was always like 100 and, you know, I was lean. I was 180 pounds or whatever back then.
00:48:27
Speaker
I wasn't I didn't have a beer gut like i do now. But these guys that I wrestled with were, you know, 240 or whatever and would be like, all right, we're doing a stamina challenge.
00:48:38
Speaker
Start running. I'm going chase you around the ring. You got to hit every every turnbuckle. Right. These guys would pass me. I'm like, yeah, I'm done. I'm done. yeah It's amazing some of those big fat guys have such stamina.
00:48:49
Speaker
Oh yeah. And they don't even get tired. That's what I'm saying. It's like, okay, well I hit everything that I need to hit. Not tired. Let's keep going. Big Bam Bigelow was pretty athletic for a big fat dude. Oh yeah.
00:49:00
Speaker
Yeah, the guy. He was the Energizer Bunny. He'd never quit. Even Vader used to do that flip off the fucking top rope. That's crazy. ye you know he He was a defensive lineman for San Diego somewhere, I forgot. so He was a freak athlete. Where yeah where did he play for, Mark? Yeah, I think it was San Diego.
00:49:18
Speaker
yeah i think it' seen diego okay
00:49:23
Speaker
So tell us more about you, Peter. Besides the projects right now, we're going to get to that, but about you more about you work for as far as you told us who you work for.
00:49:36
Speaker
um Married, single, divorced. girlfriend I was married for a short period of time. I'm single. I have not had a date, man, in four years, ever since I started making these movies.
Balancing Career and Personal Life as a Filmmaker
00:49:48
Speaker
So it's because you're focused more on what you're doing. is that and And the dating scene is just a nightmare. Like on apps and shit, it's just so weird.
00:49:56
Speaker
And it's so impersonal. And, you know, like if you set up a date, okay, we're going to go out here in this day. And I'm like, hey, I'm going to to the best restaurant in the state. Okay, great. And then if you don't talk like immediately in the next two days, that just goes away.
00:50:08
Speaker
It's just a weird thing, dude. I got to like go out and I don't have no time to go out. So, you know, i I leave the state almost every day for work or or some most times a week because I have all of New England.
00:50:19
Speaker
and And then I come home, then i work on Rosebud, then I'm writing the new movie Laugh. Then I go on a podcast, I go visit my family, I go to my nieces basketball games. I have no time, zero time. I sleep like four hours a day.
00:50:31
Speaker
So I just have no time for it, but I got to try to get back into it. Plus, i'm i'm four I'm old, man, so every chick my age has either got baggage or or they're drug addicts or they're a mess, you know?
00:50:43
Speaker
Or all the above. Yeah. its It's a good thing you're not in Florida then because it would probably be way worse. Yeah. I did good. if I was young in Florida, so I was 24. I was in good shape, so there was tons. They liked guys from the Northeast down there in Florida.
00:50:58
Speaker
Yeah. We had that cocky kind of attitude. They kind of differed from down there, so we always kind of stood out a little bit. everybody Everybody that's not from Florida does get looked at a lot differently, too. You know what i'm saying? So it's like, oh, hey, this guy, he's he's a nice guy. where you from again? Oh, he's yeah yeah, okay. He's not from Florida. That's why.
00:51:18
Speaker
what are you trying to say? All of us guys here from Florida are assholes. Get out of here. I don't even feel like Florida's the real South anymore. It's such a melting pot. like Yeah, that's that's where everybody comes. Yeah, i feel like Georgia's the real end of the South now. You know what I'm saying? Because Florida's kind of mixed. Yeah, Georgia, Alabama. Yeah, right there.
00:51:36
Speaker
Thanks, Jeff, man. So let's talk about those projects that you have coming up. you do you just said one. I don't know if that was a slip.
00:51:46
Speaker
No,
Upcoming Projects and Future Ambitions
00:51:47
Speaker
no, no. Laugh is where it's such a big project. So I'm writing, directing and start. Well, not I'm only co-directing because I just can't have time in the movie. We're trying to go straight to the movie theaters with.
00:51:59
Speaker
It's kind of like a Joker thing. It's a descent into madness for a guy. We have big, big names that will be announced that we already have on board. We have big producers, big director photography's. I mean, we're spending like 30 grand just in three days for a trailer.
00:52:14
Speaker
So it's it's going to be top end. Our goal is to go right to movie theaters. We have people who have put stuff in the movie theaters ready to go. We have investors ready to go trying to raise like $500,000 and then hit a home run because I've been losing money. that We all lose money on these indie films. I'm probably 80, 100 grand in debt.
00:52:31
Speaker
So this is the one that will hopefully get us out. So it's a huge project every day. I work on it. Is that the one that you are? said that you couldn't say nothing about until right just recently laugh yeah i mean it's called laugh but there's so much to it i mean i call i call marco which is like a facetime app with my guys and i tell them like the new thing i wrote that day and how crazy it is and they get all excited so Can we ask ah for any names? You want to throw out any names that are?
00:53:02
Speaker
I'll give you two. Terry Kaiser, who is a multi-time award winner. Golden Globe winner Todd Jenkins, who is in Hulu's Reservation Dogs. um Jason Brooks is going to be doing effects for FX. Oh, my God. Real Fiction Studios, Jason Brooks. so that Cody Newton will be the DP. He's a 100-time award winner. So and then there's some bigger names that we're trying to get that I can't say yet.
00:53:28
Speaker
Not that those names aren't big, but and then we have locations and we have I have the logo being made right now. We have two different independent people doing music. We have the composer for John Wick 4.
00:53:41
Speaker
We have ah the guy for Terrifier 2 made the last song. He's the guy doing an EDM for me. Like everything is do to do to do that. We're trying to go big. So everything's getting, it's going forward. It's not going backwards. There's no stalls. I mean, COVID, I think held ah a lot of people back on doing a lot of stuff too. Is that right? I mean, we we shot roadblood in the middle of COVID. Yeah.
00:54:02
Speaker
In the middle. And nobody was wearing a mask in the movie other than Jason Brooks. Yeah. I mean, honestly, a lot of people didn't even wear masks outside. I'll say now. Really? But yeah.
00:54:14
Speaker
Um, Everyone was being tested and everything. and then We had a girl on set who was the COVID lady. so Every day she took your temperature and she did all that stuff. and It just is what it is. you know Turned out to be pretty much all for naught anyway. Yeah. yeah i I hated it. I hated going through the whole process. i beyond yeah I lost friends from it.
00:54:36
Speaker
That really sucks. yeah you know we lost I feel the same way too. I think we lost close friends, family kind of stuff as far as, hey, this is happening now. and I had people because I thought it was so ridiculous that we went to like shopping lines and you had to be six feet apart. Same with like the airport. So, okay, so you're six feet apart this way, but you're right next to the person this way. Of course. Yeah. Smart. And then the glass is here.
00:55:01
Speaker
So you're behind the glass, and then you go to pay and they go to give you money and you move past the glass. Like, are you fucking serious? So in in my in welding, we sell masks and they have fit tests and it doesn't work. And the mask itself will say doesn't stop blank, blank, blank, like blank. It would have to be sealed.
00:55:19
Speaker
You know, if you go to um my dad, work for a chemical company. And when the the truck drivers would come in once in a while, they'd have a beard. They would not let those dudes in until they shaved right there because exactly mask doesn't fit. It doesn't work if chemical spill happened.
00:55:31
Speaker
Correct. So anyway was I had people wish that my stepson died. i had people said, going to kill your going to hope they die. That's so dumb, dude. That's so dumb. Insane. As they get jab one, two, three, four. It's just like, you know. And look at where we are today. yeah it's like, guys, you saw that nothing happened. And this COVID that we have now, this COVID we have is a flu.
00:55:56
Speaker
it's ah It's a sickness. People are going to get it. but even there's a way Even getting the shot, I got two of the shots. cause i wanted to I did. It came out my nose.
00:56:06
Speaker
Blood. I lost two roles because I wouldn't get tested. This is how fake it is. The guy goes, listen, we know it's bullshit. Have your mom or dad take the test and send it in as negative. I go, no. That then defeats what I stand for.
00:56:22
Speaker
so I'm not going to do that. so There's two huge movie parts that I paid to be in. that i didn't do because of that that i wouldn't take the money back either i'm like well that's your choice not mine so but whatever we'll get heat we'll get heat from that too from this it's fine don't worry about it yeah it's a it's mark's podcast we'll blame it on mark hey if i'll i'll tell you this if if nobody believes me about it coming out my nose i'll put the video up i mean that's how that's how bad it is you should totally put that on your tick tock page mark
00:56:54
Speaker
It is. that on my my name brand um My name alone is it's on there. not on the But I can put it on the talking shit. Sure. Put it on talking shit and let us see the snot and stuff coming out of your nose.
00:57:07
Speaker
Oh, no. It's just blood. Just blood? Yeah. The first time it happened, I was in the hospital because i had my arm was killing me. And you know next thing i know, it's coming out my nose. And you it was all over the bathroom, everything. They thought, janitor thought somebody was killed in there.
00:57:23
Speaker
Jesus.
00:57:26
Speaker
ah Peter, did we did we hit on all the questions that you wanted us to ask you? Because I don't know what to ask you, honestly. I mean, there's there's a lot that there's a lot that we can talk about. But I just, you know, if there's something you want to talk about or if there's something that, you know, you wanted us to ask that we didn't ask.
00:57:45
Speaker
um Sean asked how it was it was to work with Terry, Laura and Kevin, which is the same three that came from part seven. Yeah, just phenomenal. Sean knows that we were like in on set and I was on. So there was a scene where Terry and Laura recreating what they did in seven and that I wrote, which is so insane in the scene. And we had to take a break and I opened the door to come out and everybody was there watching the screens and everything. Open the door. i'm like, can you fucking believe this is happening and then i close the door back and i'm like hey yeah what we're gonna do is try to act like professional so working with them was a dream come true a little kid because that's that's part seven on the wall right there and i have yeah have a mask over there and it's just so it's always been a dream i'm friends with kane so it's always been dream mine to do that so it was like it was surreal at times you're so busy that you don't realize it but then so once in a while you're like is this these people here for me it's it's insane
00:58:33
Speaker
when we had We had a guest last week. Was it last week? we No, the week before last. A young lady named Amber. Yeah, yeah. She's in the house too.
00:58:45
Speaker
Yeah, i was I was going to ask you, are there any future plans for Amber in any of your upcoming episodes? films because she she wouldn't let us in on anything really just like i'm working on a project can't say say praying i can't say either uh oh so you can't say either so maybe maybe but she yeah she's she's great she was a vengeance too and she's done a bunch of stuff she models she's done some other local movies she's all all the way up in buffalo which is like eight hours for me no yeah eight hours for me And some of the coldest damn weather, dude. I'm out.
00:59:18
Speaker
yeah Yeah. They got like six feet in one like week or something. It was crazy. yeah When they canceled the game, that was that time. Oh, yeah. Yeah, where yeah where they put in Detroit. Yeah. It's funny because online there was memes and it goes, change the facility or change the venue to to fan safety. And the guy wrote, so you're having it in Detroit?
00:59:44
Speaker
That was a good one. But no, I'm good. I mean, we said we'd keep it around an hour unless Mark's got something to different No. once you ah Once you get your new project up and going and able to announce more, we'll have you back on, have you announce and tell us a little bit more about it.
01:00:03
Speaker
Because now i'm I'm really intrigued now about it. yeah and um Yeah. Hopefully the four or five people that were listening in ah Sorry. Hopefully the fan base gets a little bit bigger here too. That's the goal. Once it goes... ah Tomorrow the it'll go up in likes and all that.
01:00:23
Speaker
It's just weird on how... But hopefully hopefully they'll get to see that we talked about Laugh and then they're going to start Googling it and what's going on with the project. Are you posting anything about it as far as... didn't even start with IMDb yet. So working on... We got...
