Speaker 1 (00:17):
I Smell pop Culture with Eastern Allen and I Heart
Radio podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Hey everybody, Easton Allen. I am all in podcasts. iHeart radio,
iHeart media, I heart podcasts. One of them productions, it's
the I Smell pop Culture Podcast. That's right, I Smell
pop Culture. I take a big whiff. It goes in
through my nose, It hits these parts of my brain,
it releases chemicals, and then out of my mouth comes
(00:47):
the scent of pop culture. Sorry that the visuals gross,
but we're having a lot of fun over here. We're
exploring and dissecting all the different pop culture references in
Gilmore Girls that we love that we love the show
four and this week is no different. We're talking to
someone very, very exciting. There's a little movie you may
(01:07):
have heard of. It's from the nineteen eighties. It's called
The Karate Kid Ralph Macchio Pat Marita. It's a story
that made the world fall in love with martial arts.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It is.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
It's incredible, and we're going to talk to one of
the stars of The Karate Kid Part three. And the
reason we're doing that, though, is that Karate Kid was
mentioned in season three, episode three, application Anxiety. I'm going
to set the stage for you here, okay, theater of
the mind. Visualize with me if you will come on
a journey. Rory and Laura I are hanging out at
(01:40):
home and Lane needs help editing and condensing her ad
seeking a drummer for her band. Laine is explaining she's
listening like her musical influences and she's going into too
much detail here.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The ad can't be this long.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
She's going to spend a fortune per letter per word here,
so they're trying to help her edit it down. She's
explaining her thoughts on Jackson Brown and says, see cool.
People will know that he's more than a melow hippie,
dippy folky. He actually wrote some of Nico's best songs
and was in fact her lover before he bored us
with Doctor my Eyes. They'll separate the posers from the
non posers, and Rory replies with wax on wax off
(02:18):
and wax on wax off, of course, is the mantra
that we learned from mister Miyaki in the Karate Kid.
And before we dive deeper into Karate Kid, I just
want to say I love Doctor My Eyes. How dare
Lane say he bored us with Doctor My Eyes? I
love that song. I love Jackson Brown and especially that song.
But a Karate Kid nineteen eighty four a classic movie,
(02:40):
just one of those movies ever. I dare you walk
down the street, you it'll be a long time before
you find someone that has not seen Karate Kid. It
is so good And we're going to join the Karate
Kid verse with Robin Lively. Robin Lively joined the franchise
in Karate Kid Part three, one of the underrated parts
of the Karate Kid franchise, Friday Kid Universe. She played

shop and she was also she was a mountain climber,
a mountain climbing fan, the mountain climb in the movie.

Robin Lively. She's one of the best people out there.
We're such big fans of hers, and she's done so
(03:24):

actors that does so much cool stuff. I mean, X Files,

this the other day. There's some people in Hollywood that
have just cool resumes. Like you look at like your
list of credits and it's just like everything you've done.

Honestly, it's it's it's so great and there's so much
to get into. Uh, we're gonna talk Karate Kid, We're
gonna talk about it all. But first I want to
I love going back to the beginning. You got started
so early. What six years old was your first role?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh? You know? Actually by six I had already been
working for three years. I started three if you can
believe it, Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Right, it's what was the what was that first role
at three years old? What were you doing?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Okay, so it was a it was a national network commercial.
It was a bank commercial. I can't remember the It
was on my demo reel and I remember it. I
could even quote the commercial for you because my mom
had written it and it was a monologue. And when
I went to the auto and I did this monologue,
they loved it so much. They're like, oh my gosh,
(05:02):
we're doing this. We're just going to incorporate the bank
name in it. And that's how and that's how I did.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It was three years old. It's career. Yeah, it was
so much fun.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I mean so like as far back as you can remember,
you've been acting basically, Yeah, Like do you remember like
just being a kid and loving it? Like how did
you as you started doing it more and more? How
did you kind of like did it become a job
pretty quickly?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I'm interested in.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
That part, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Honestly, this is I feel like I have such I
think it's so amazing that I've been able to do
this as long as I have been, and to.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Have started when I was a child.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It just felt like this was just normal life for me,
like I didn't know, I didn't know any different. My
mom was a model. She was of course to stay
at my home mom forever and ever. And then she
would started doing some print work and brought us with her,
the three three of us, the younger kids, and so
she would bring us all the time to her print
(06:01):
jobs and her shoots, and they were like, kids are
so cute, we should use them in this ad. And
so then from that we got you know, commercial agents,
and started doing commercials. And then when I was five,
I ended up doing do you remember, Oh my gosh, well,
Christy McNichol so phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Do you remember that movie? Why am I blanking on it?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Oh? It was such a great movie, Little darlings.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh yes, yes, oh.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
My tatum'neill and Christy McNichol. This is a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Mm hmm, little dart. Yeah, So I'm.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Just mentioning yes because I love that movie so much.
But Christy mcnicholl played my sister, my older sister, in
a movie when I was five, and that was like
my first kind of big, you know, opportunity was that
it was a movie of the week. They used to
have these things called Movies of the Week and yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
So which which movie was that?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
It was called Smer of My German Soldier.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh yes, you?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I mean so you were on some like again heavy
Hitter shows and Punky Brewster Night Writer twenty one jub
Street has heeks. I mean like, yes, how did it
feel too, like you get a role on Night Writer?
How did it feel like step onto these sets of
these just like iconic TV shows?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
What was that like?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Well, it's interesting because we're all human, right, Like, we're
all I feel like even the biggest celebrities geek out
over other celebrities because we're all fans of each other.
You know. So growing up I loved Night Writer.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So at twelve years.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Old, I was like, I can't believe I'm on set.
I'm looking at Michael Knight. I'm like, my match, this
is insane.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I wanted to like sit in the car hit all
of that.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
And I look back now and I and I saw
a scene. I was like, that seemed like it was
one million years ago. No, do you know what I mean? Like,
do remember things like you watch Vacation with Chevy ch
and I'm like, oh, get my kids. I'm like you guys,
you've got to see this movie is so great and
I'm watching, Oh what does this feel like it was
one hundred years ago? That's what That's what night Rider
(08:11):
felt like when I was watching the scene. But anyway,
I digress. The it was it's so great, Like I
loved being a part of it, but I was just
a kid. I was like geeking out on being there
and being on set because I love the show.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Was there like a role or an experience from that
early stage of your career that really stands out to
you that you like think back often and fondly on, Oh.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Well, if we're going to go there, it's obviously it's
teen Witch.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Like it takes the cake because it was so like
this unsuspecting, like massive cult.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Classic, what was what happened?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Like how did this happen? But it genuinely is.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I mean I love every project I do for you know,
a myriad of reasons, but teen it is it for me,
like it holds a really special place in my heart.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's so good.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I mean, it's one of those movies that people like,
everyone's rewatching it, especially around Halloween. It has such a
cult falling. Like you said, I mean, like, you got
to work with Darren from Bewitch to that movie that's incredible.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Like insane, It wasn't incredible, Yeah, and it was like, yeah,
Magic Witches. What of course it's Darren. Of course it's Derwood.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yes, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So uh yeah, making how did that? How did teen
Witch come together? I'm curious about that, Like, how'd you
get involved with that project?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You know, it was just an audition, just an a
for a film went in.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You know, I didn't really like put much pressure on
myself because I had been doing this for so long,
but there's always an element of like walking into a
room and performing in front of strangers, that you never
get fully comfortable with that. Let me just state that clearly.
But it was just, yeah, it's just not just and
(10:01):
I thought it was a really cute movie, and I
just was living in the moment, you know, got the movie,
became really good friends with everyon on set. We were
such we were so close and it was such a
wonderful and innocent time in life, and like it was
just a different era and I loved it so much.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And you can tell, you.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Can tell that we loved each other and we genuinely
got along so well, and I think that is part
of the magic of the movie.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, I was just gonna say that.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I mean, it looks like you guys are all having
a blast in that movie and it really does come through.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah. Absolutely. And we were just reunited recently, basically all
of us for a convention and it was self great.
It was just like no time had passed. I just
love them so much.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
That makes me so happy that I love hearing that.
You were saying, like you never get used to auditioning,
and I'm as I have never auditioned, I likely will
never audition I'm so curious about Like that's kind of
surprised me because I was wondering, like if you you know,
if you do it enough times, does it just become
a thing.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
A little bit. It's so it's it also seems so
uncomfortable to do and so weird and like so the
kind of I don't know, I'm just curious, like how
like auditioning relates to like the rest of acting as
a whole, because it's like so different than what you're
actually doing, but it's a necessary part of it.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
It is so different and it's so necessary and a
lot of times. Well, now since COVID, you're doing everything remotely.
You know, you're putting, you're doing self tapes, and there
are advantages and disadvantages to that. But you know a
lot of times people would get jobs because they were
really good in the room, like they just auditioned well,
you know, you had to audition well, you had to
like come across like you were so unfazed and just
(11:47):
like even though your insides are like, oh my gosh,
I'm dying. But yeah, I mean, after so many years
of doing it, there is an element of you get
comfortable doing it. However, there is a job at stake.
They are total strangers, like sitting there staring at you,
judging you. You know, you have to, you know, do
(12:08):
your best under those kind of situations, and it can
be incredibly intimidating. So yeah, I mean I kind of
miss it because I liked it. I liked it, you know,
I got to they got to see me as a
person and get to know, you know, like got a
sense of who I was on tape. You like, you
really don't know, and but on tape you get the
(12:28):
advantage of putting your very best take on You have
no nerves. You know, you can do a great job.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh yeah, you can memorize everything. Has there been a
time where you went in to do an audition and
like they threw something just out of left field issue
that you were not prepared for.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Always they would do things like that, yeah, or they
want you. They want to see like how well you
take direction and who knows what they would throw at you.
And also too you you would have the intimidation of
walking and like sizing up your competition. You know, you
could hear them and the other you could hear how
they're doing their audition. Sometimes you'd feel like, oh, I
can do better than that, or.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Or you're like, oh my gosh, they.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Are really good. You know. So it could work for
against you, but good times.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
It's so fascinating to me. Okay, Twin Peaks, I want
to talk about Twin Peaks a bit. Atlanta budding Milford
hopeful for Miss Twin Peaks. I mean such if you
could be a part of like any show, I mean,
incredible to have that on your on your credit list.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Did you work with David Lynch much?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Unfortunately I didn't.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I was that show at the time, was probably the
biggest show on television, and I just remember, Oh, it
was a time where you know, you you sat down
at whatever time and you all watched it with everyone
else that was watching me at eight o'clock at that
same time. Everyone was talking about it and it was
such an It was just groundbreaking the show. No one
(13:57):
had ever seen anything like it. So season two, when
I got the audition, I was so excited. Again here
I am.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I'm just a human.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I love the show. I'm a huge fan of the show.
I'm desperate to be on it. And the audition was like, oh,
the description for Lana was like.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Oh, she's just so beautiful, like.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
All the men are just falling at her feet and
all this stuff. And I saw the show. I saw
how beautiful these women were, the cast, the regulars, they
were on the cover Rolling Stone. They were the most
exquisitely beautiful women ever. And I was like, Okay, I
have to figure out something that's gonna, you know, make
me stand out a little bit. I need to do
(14:38):
something different. And so I read the material and I
was like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna make her southern.
I'm gonna give her like this super southern drawl and
being from Georgia, super easy for me to do that,
and so I thought, you know, like this is gonna
work or it's not gonna work, but I'm gonna take
my chance. I'm gona do it. And I got it.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I couldn't believe that, and I was like, yes, oh
my gosh, this show is this is a hit show.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I have Oh I have just made it. And then
it was canceled. Why I can't even I can't. I
don't understand it.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
And the great mysteries of television history. Why that show
got canceled.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
It's two seasons, that's it.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Really, Yes, unbelievable, but hey I got to be a
part of it, and it was you know, it was
an absolute career highlight for sure.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, I mean absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
And then really quick, I just really want to point
out a fuzz Bucket is one of the best movies
of all time. If you haven't seen fuzz Bucket, please
get fuzz Bucket.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Do you get Do you have people coming up to you,
like conventions and stuff saying how many fuzzy.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Absolutely not, You're probably no person. But it was on
a podcast they were like, we love fuzz Bucket. I
have to rewatch it.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But that was really fun though. That was a fun show.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
It's a delightful show, you know, it's fantastic and Disney
Movie of the Week. So Robin Lively here hanging out
with us. We have so much more to get into.
We're going to wax on, wax off here in a second,
talk about the Karate Kid. This is the ice Smell
pop culture podcast. Everybody stick around. It's the Icemell pop
(16:25):
culture podcast on I Am all in. We're hanging out
with Robin Lively, the Great Robin Lovely. We're having so
much fun here.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh, the Karate Kid.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
You are part of the Karate Kid verse Jessica Andrews
and Karate Kid Part three.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yes, and tell us, how did you how.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Did you become involved with that movie in the third installment?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
How'd that happen?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Oh my gosh, this movie. You know, I keep reminding
you of like how just you know, I'm just a
human girl fan the entire time. You know, then it
was like nowadays, you you know so many the industry
has changed so much. It was so much simpler then.
(17:10):
You would just go on auditions and it wasn't like,
oh this is an this is not to have an
offer oute to like this a list celebrity. I got opportunities.
I was virtually a nobody. I mean I had worked
my whole life, but I wasn't like this name actress.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And that was the beauty of it back then.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
And I got the audition I read for the director.
I had no idea that John Avildson was this icon.
Thank goodness, I didn't know. I just was so naive.
I did not know Rocky. I didn't. I wish I'd
known these things, but I just got the audition. I
(17:50):
remember seeing years later, like my mom had written it
on a little notepad, my callback for John Avildson. Anyway,
I just read for him. I remember it vividly. I
remember behind the desk I did the audition. I got
a callback next to you know, I'm testing for the movie.
And it was between me and Heather Graham. And I've
(18:10):
told her a few times and Heather ended up on
Twin Peaks with me. So I go again. I was
telling you about sizing up my competition. I get to
the screen test and we go through hair and makeup,
which is what you do at a screen test. Then
and they have the whole set. It was the scene
with the cast role. You know that was a scene
(18:31):
doing it. Maybe we did a couple, but I know
we did that one and they film it with actual
film and it was like legit. And I saw Heather
Graham and I was like, oh my, suddenly all of
my confidence just went out the door. I was like, oh,
she looks like like a doll, like a living doll.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Like she is so stunning.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Oh oh well, okay, well at least you know what
I get to I get to do a scene with
Ralph Machio, with Daniel LaRusso. So I did the screen
test and then, as you know how it worked out,
I got it, which I could not believe. I don't
think there was a moment in that film that I
in my mind. I wasn't like having these external moments
where I was like, you're doing a scene with Daniel Larisso,
(19:15):
you're doing a scene with mister Biagi. I still do
that to this day, like on Lioness when I'm working
with Nicole Kidman, I'm like, oh, you're doing the scene
with Stine.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You are working Nicole.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
You know what I mean? The novelty never wears off,
and I know I never walk onto his head and
don't just have immense gratitude to still be here and
still be doing what I love so much.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I love to hear that. That makes me so happy.
That's That's exactly what I was like hoping for.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I mean, obviously everybody's a fan of the original Karate Kid,
but I was like, I'm curious joining a movie in
its third, you know, installment. Yeah, how did it feel like?
There's so much of the same cast and crew were
around for all three. How did it feel like coming
in at the third movie? Was everyone welcoming to you?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Did it feels kind of weird?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Oh? No, everyone was wonderful. But I mean there are
rumors out there about the third one. What I remember
about it was I know that they were writing the
script as we were filming, so a lot of changes
were happening on the spot.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
So that kind of lent.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Itself to a little bit of like frustration. I sensed
a bit of frustration, you know, on set, and I
wasn't only privy to everything that was going on, and
you know, they changed it from us being love interest
to just being friends because the age difference. And then
at one point, this is really cool, this is really cool.
We so the dance when we went to the to
(20:51):
the club and we were dancing that was supposed to
be choreographed. And so we were at Warner Brothers and
met with the infamous Paula Abdul.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yes, Ralph and I wondered this soundstage and Ralph and
I go in there and we meet.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
But she was so lovely, she was so.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Wonderful, and Ralph was like, you know what this just feels.
I just like, I don't, this doesn't whatever he said.
I won't quote him. All I know is we walked
out about ten minutes later and decided it was not
going to be a choreographed dance.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Interesting.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Yeah, I got to meet Paula Abdul, So that right? Cool? Yeah?
Straight up?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Uh that's I'm a defender of third movies in like
in series. I'm a big fan of Back to the
Future three. I love Return of the Jedi and Kardi
Kit three is no different. I think it's a very
special movie and I think it's an integral.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Part of the series.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yes, I mean, like, so, Ralph Machio, he was like,
had you met him at all before you started filming
that movie?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Wow? I had never met He was about as big
as a got you know, for me anyway.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I was so karate Kid took everyone.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I mean, that film was everything. I mean, I can
speak for myself.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I was obsessed with that movie.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I was obsessed with him. Oh it was just the greatest.
So to be a part of it in any form,
even if it wasn't the greatest of all of them,
oh my gosh, it was so it was iconic for me.
It was a dream come true. Talk about a career highlight.
Like I genuinely like I could not get past the
(22:34):
fact that I was I was incredika. Even today, I
showed my daughter we were watching it, and I was like,
I can't believe that's my name up there with this
Rolf Machio, pat and Merita Robin Lively, Are you kidding me?
That's crazy?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
So awesome, It's the best.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
And Ralph was wonderful, so professional and kind and like
he was terrific to work with. Everyone was so it
was overall, it was a really, really incredible experience.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
So when we first see you in the movie, you're
on the pottery wheel, you're throwing a vase. Did you
have much ceramics experience before you did that scene?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Had you ever been on a wheel before.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
No, But they gave me some classes and I made
some bowls. Oh yeah, I made bowls. I made cups.
I wish I still had them. So I did do
some classes with a private you know, private lessons, and
also repelling. I learned how to repel for real.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Okay, that was my next question because, like you know,
a lot of people are if you're in a Karate
Kid movie, everyone's like, oh, are you going to learn martial arts?
Robin Lively got to repel down a cliff.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That was real.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
That was very real. I got to do all of that,
Like I genuinely learned how to do all of it.
It was so cool.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
That's oh my god, that's incredib wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
So when you're filming, you know, I understand like some
of that was on location in Marin, is that right?
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yes, and then some of it on a stage I imagine.
I mean in any way, it must have been terrifying,
right to be in the harness and everything.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
How did well, not so much. Now, it was a
lot of it was like you know, some of a
lot of it was a green screen.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I'm sure you can tell.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
We were peled a little bit down a mountain. It
was not It wasn't dangerous or scary at all.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
No, oh my god, you making it look so easy.
Even with like the green screens where they're like a
couple of feet off the ground, it's still like it
still freaks me out, like that would freak me out anyway,
not at all.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
The most notable thing that happened was the the sorry hang.
The most notable thing that happened though, was the ropes.
While we were in Marin County, they were dragged through
poison oak poison ivy and so when yeah, so when
(24:48):
we got back to La when we were filming on stage,
Ralph was grabbing the ropes and got the worst case
of poison oak I think I've ever seen ever, Like
we're swollen. Oh, it was so intense, it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, oh my god, that's again.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
You think you're gonna when you're did in a movie
like that, You're like, oh, I might like maybe I'll
break a bone or something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
No, no, no, covered and poison ivy oh.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Yeah, now who would have imagined a millionaires that would happen.
But yes, that was one of the big notable things
we had to shut down production. It was so bad.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Whoa had to take an oatmeal bath or whatever. I
do know how you fixed those things.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
But exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
So, and I want to talk about Cobra Kai. So
exciting you came back for season five of Cobra Kai. Yes,
that I mean I rewatched that episode earlier today. It's
so exciting to see your return.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Was that a fun experience for you?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Oh? It was incredible. I was just waiting for that
phone to ring. I'm like, okay, guys, I'm ready, let's
like come on now. So when it finally happened, I
was so curious to see how they were going to
integrate me into the story. And I thought it was
so g Yes, I thought it was so fun.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
And then I got to.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Do like this badass brawl in a bar, like I
don't get roles like that. I'm not fighting in bars.
It was so much fun. The cast was amazing, the crew,
the producers, creators, they were all so incredible. And they
I'm sure you know, they are such huge, huge fans
of Karate Kid, the whole franchise. So when I was
(26:22):
on set, it was like they were all geeking out,
you know.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I was like, this is so cool.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
It was one of those jobs where you're like and
then I'm reunited with with Ralph and with Billy who
have been friends with forever, and.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You know, so many people.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
It just like I almost felt guilty, like getting paid
for the job. It was so much fun.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
That's great. I love it. Yeah, that seeing when you
first entered the bar.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, I think you point out that there's like an
arcade machine and you're like, A, that's no remake, that's
the original.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I just thought that was such a cool lie.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Yes, yes, yes, it is so good.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Have you noticed, like since being on Cobra Kai people,
I like to think that people are going back and
rewatching Karate Kid three, like seeing you as inspired them
to go back.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Have you been.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Have you heard from fans that are like, oh I'm
watching it again, or like, has there been a resurg
in some popularity?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
No, I would imagine so they haven't said as much,
but I would imagine that they have. And I love that.
You know, I know that there were mixed reviews on
the third one, but there is a you know, people
do love it, they really do, and I just I like,
I tell even when we did the Red carpet premiere
for the season finale. We did this huge group photo and.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
All of us there and I'm looking around.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I'm like, I keep telling you this is the same thing,
but I'm like, I can't believe that I'm here with
these are all the karate Kid people.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I feel like an impostor.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
It's so cool.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
It's so cool, and you know, and listening.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
If you have not seen Karate Kid three, I watched
part of it on Netflix this morning and I got
the little notifications leaving Netflix soon, which.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Reakes my heart.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
So well, are you serious?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yes, all three of them, So yeah, get on get
on Netflix and watch karate Kid one, two, and three
while you can. Robin Lovely's hanging out with us. You're
working on some really cool stuff right now that I
want to talk about, and we're going to do that
in just a second, but first we got play some
really fun and entertaining commercials. We'll be right back, everybody, Yay.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Robin Lively's hanging out with us.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
It's the Ice Smell Pop Culture podcast on I Am
All in, and we're just having so much fun. I
love talking to these huge stars like yourself and then
finding out like you're I love how much of a
fan girl you are.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
That makes me feel it's so cool. It makes me
so happy.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
I feel like everyone is. They just there's just other
levels of like coolness, Like they're going to pretend like
they're not quite as geeked out as others. But I
promise you there are people that they're geeking out over.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I promise.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
That's the biggest secret in Hollywood. And I myself am
a major fangirl for Taylor Sheridan. And it's so exciting
You're in not one, but two shows in the Sheridan verse.
I want to talk about Landman on Paramount Plus it
tell us how you what was it like getting into
(29:34):
the world of land Man. It's the new Billy Bob
Thornton show again.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Pinch me, you know, Like, Hi, I am so excited
to be a part of these shows. I cannot even
begin to tell you. It is so thrilling and so cool.
Oh so. The the little bit of a cool backstory
is that Taylor Sheridan was a actor and was in
(30:01):
my dad's acting class for a long time, yes years,
I mean decades ago with my husband, my husband, this
was before we were dating. I barely even noticed my
husband at the time, but he was he was in
my dad's acting class.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
He was in the class. Bart Johnson was in the
class too.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Wow, Yes, he sure was because he did a movie
with his my husband. So Bart's first movie was Me Familia,
and my dad was in that. So from that, my
dad just kind of took him under his wedding.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
And he like absolutely loved and brought him home to
my mom.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
He was over our house all the time, but I
was not living at home, but he was just kind
of a fixture around the family all the time, and
so he ended up like helping my dad teach like
the younger kids classes. Anyway, So Taylor was Taylor was
in my dad's So many people were in my dad's
acting class. But so Bart and Taylor know each other.
(30:56):
I didn't ever know Taylor because I wasn't in my
acting class. I would just kind of like breathing and out.
But I was busy, I was working, you know, so
I didn't know him personally. So then his career just explodes,
and I remember Bart being.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Like, oh, I can't believe this is insane. This is incredible.
Taylor Sheridan, what.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
My mind is blown? Right, And so now we're years later,
we get an audition, both of us for you know,
roles that have nothing to do with each other, and
so we often put each other on tape. So he
does my tape, I do his tape, and that's it.
And then we hear, oh, you're both pinned for the show,
(31:41):
and we're like, what this is incredible? Could you imagine?
We are such huge Billy Bob Thornton fans from sling
Blade and just everything. The guy is a genius. Yeah,
so I thought, what is the probability we really think
we're both gonna get this? I doubt it, but this
is exciting. Let's hope one of us gets it, and
then we both get it. So we were both in
(32:02):
the pilot, which was so cool, and Taylor is the
guy is like how do you know what? I mean? Like,
how how does he do it all?
Speaker 3 (32:15):
And now it's it's it's wild, Like you know, I
started seeing his movies and I was just so I
love It's exactly the type of story I love to watch.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
He's like rural, no wires kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
And then he started the TV shows and it's like
I cannot believe the output of this man.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It's it's wild.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
And he is he's doing it all himself, like he
doesn't have a writing staff. I don't know how he's like,
is the guy human? He's just an absolute powerhouse and
he's so cool.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
What a genius this.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Guy is, right, So it was really fantastic too, so
great to be a part of the show. And then
and then I get an audition for Lioness again, same
kind of thing, do a self tape, and I didn't
at all think I was going to get it, to
be honest with you, so when.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I did, I was through the roof.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
And also to.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Get to play such completely.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
I don't know if you've had a chance to watch
the shows, but my character is so vastly different Lioness
to Landman.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
So to say that I am.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Pinging myself is the understatement of the century. I feel
so excited and honored to be on these shows. And
Jill Wagner is so cool. I think I could be wrong,
but when I met her on Lionis, she was like, oh, Robin,
it's so cool to have you here, and I'm such
a fan of your work.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And I'm like, this is insane.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
I think she's a teen witch fan. I could be wrong,
but I think she is. But anyway, it's incredible. Wait,
I got to tell you on more thing then. Ruth McGill.
He's in Lioness and he and I worked together when
I was thirteen in Wildcats. If you.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, is that crazy?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It's so crazy at these things come around.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
I'm telling you right, thirteen to now that was a
few years ago. Well that's so fine, but it was
a while ago.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Does that happen when you're like, I mean, it must
happen all the time where you're working on something, and
then like when your co stars or someone comes up
and goes, hey, by the way, I love Teen Witch.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Oh yeah. Oh well, when I did thirty Rock, I
was like, that was one of the biggest shows on
television when I did that, and I was like, how
am I on this show? You've got Jennifer Anniston on
the week before, Oprah's on the week after and me
and I literally I said, I guarantee you someone here
is a Teen Witch fan. And I was right. It
(34:44):
was Matt Hubbard. He's a producer of the show. And
Tina was like, oh, Robin, she was so cool. They
were amazing. She was like, oh, I had to sit.
I had to sit through watch all the teen Witch scenes,
and I like boys wet locker room. I just adored her.
She was so great.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah, that is so awesome. Oh so Landman and Lioness.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
You can scale them out and over Paramount Plus and
check those both out and see Robin and I'm sure
incredible performances in both. So we were talking before we
started here. This is a Goilmore Girls podcast, and you
know karate Kid was mentioned in Gomore Girls a couple
of times, which is yes, which led to this fun
(35:32):
chat we're having. What do you love about Gilmore Girls?
What stands out to the show?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
I love Gilmore Girls, And in fact, I rewatched several
episodes of My Daughter and We're more obsessed. I loved
their relationship. I think that was the first time I
you know, like when shows were out at that time,
and the relationship between the two was unlike any you
(35:58):
had ever seen between a mother and daughter. And Lauren Graham,
they Alexis blowed out, they were so just you just
adored them. You loved their relationship. You wanted your relationship
to be like that with your mom. I want that
relationship with my daughter, you know, like it was.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Just the best. I wish I could have been on
that show.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
If you could live in stars Hollow, what would like?
What would you like? What kind of job would you
want to have? What would you want to be doing
in stars Hollow?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Ash that's a good gouestion.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
We would have to think about that one. I oh, well,
we already have that little coffee shop. What would I
want to do? M I don't have to think about it.
That's you caught me off guard with that one.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Oh, that's that's what we do here on diam On podcast.
We ask the hard hitting questions like that.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
That is a really tough one. Well, I know if
you know what I would do? Okay, know what I do.
I would want to run like a beauty shop and
like do the hair. Because to be honest with you,
this is even You'll give you a little secret. All
of the makeup artists they know all the dirt. They
know all the dirt, all the dirt because the actors
(37:07):
you sit in those chairs and for whatever reason, it's
like you get a truth serum and you just want
to tell everything. So that's what I would do. I
would like on a salon, so I could hear all
the dirt that was going on, all the gossip in
the town.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Interesting. I love it.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
We need we need a keeper of secrets like that

smell is, So thank.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
You, Rob.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Okay, you're gonna have to think about that.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
You know this, it smells like something different every week
because we're always cooking something up differently.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
But this is nostalgic. We know that it's a nostalgic smell.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Yeah, I have to say this week, pop culture smells
like it smells like dirt and poison ivy, that's what
it smells.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Okay, I love it. Let's go with that.
Speaker 1 (38:35):

through my nose, It hits these parts of my brain,
it releases chemicals, and then out of my mouth comes
(00:47):
the scent of pop culture. Sorry that the visuals gross,
but we're having a lot of fun over here. We're
exploring and dissecting all the different pop culture references in
Gilmore Girls that we love that we love the show
four and this week is no different. We're talking to
someone very, very exciting. There's a little movie you may
(01:07):
have heard of. It's from the nineteen eighties. It's called
The Karate Kid Ralph Macchio Pat Marita. It's a story
that made the world fall in love with martial arts.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It is.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
It's incredible, and we're going to talk to one of
the stars of The Karate Kid Part three. And the
reason we're doing that, though, is that Karate Kid was
mentioned in season three, episode three, application Anxiety. I'm going
to set the stage for you here, okay, theater of
the mind. Visualize with me if you will come on
a journey. Rory and Laura I are hanging out at
(01:40):
home and Lane needs help editing and condensing her ad
seeking a drummer for her band. Laine is explaining she's
listening like her musical influences and she's going into too
much detail here.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The ad can't be this long.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
She's going to spend a fortune per letter per word here,
so they're trying to help her edit it down. She's
explaining her thoughts on Jackson Brown and says, see cool.
People will know that he's more than a melow hippie,
dippy folky. He actually wrote some of Nico's best songs
and was in fact her lover before he bored us
with Doctor my Eyes. They'll separate the posers from the
non posers, and Rory replies with wax on wax off
(02:18):
and wax on wax off, of course, is the mantra
that we learned from mister Miyaki in the Karate Kid.
And before we dive deeper into Karate Kid, I just
want to say I love Doctor My Eyes. How dare
Lane say he bored us with Doctor My Eyes? I
love that song. I love Jackson Brown and especially that song.
But a Karate Kid nineteen eighty four a classic movie,
(02:40):
just one of those movies ever. I dare you walk
down the street, you it'll be a long time before
you find someone that has not seen Karate Kid. It
is so good And we're going to join the Karate
Kid verse with Robin Lively. Robin Lively joined the franchise
in Karate Kid Part three, one of the underrated parts
of the Karate Kid franchise, Friday Kid Universe. She played
(03:01):
Jessica Andrews in Kardi Kid three. She ran a ceramics
shop and she was also she was a mountain climber,
a mountain climbing fan, the mountain climb in the movie.

My gosh, I'm so excited. Thank you so much for
having me.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
We have so much your resume. I was thinking about
this the other day. There's some people in Hollywood that
have just cool resumes. Like you look at like your
list of credits and it's just like everything you've done.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Is just cool.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Honestly, it's it's it's so great and there's so much
to get into. Uh, we're gonna talk Karate Kid, We're
gonna talk about it all. But first I want to
I love going back to the beginning. You got started
so early. What six years old was your first role?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh? You know? Actually by six I had already been
working for three years. I started three if you can
believe it, Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Right, it's what was the what was that first role
at three years old? What were you doing?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Okay, so it was a it was a national network commercial.
It was a bank commercial. I can't remember the It
was on my demo reel and I remember it. I
could even quote the commercial for you because my mom
had written it and it was a monologue. And when
I went to the auto and I did this monologue,
they loved it so much. They're like, oh my gosh,
(05:02):
we're doing this. We're just going to incorporate the bank
name in it. And that's how and that's how I did.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It was three years old. It's career. Yeah, it was
so much fun.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I mean so like as far back as you can remember,
you've been acting basically, Yeah, Like do you remember like
just being a kid and loving it? Like how did
you as you started doing it more and more? How
did you kind of like did it become a job
pretty quickly?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I'm interested in.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
That part, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Honestly, this is I feel like I have such I
think it's so amazing that I've been able to do
this as long as I have been, and to.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Have started when I was a child.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It just felt like this was just normal life for me,
like I didn't know, I didn't know any different. My
mom was a model. She was of course to stay
at my home mom forever and ever. And then she
would started doing some print work and brought us with her,
the three three of us, the younger kids, and so
she would bring us all the time to her print
(06:01):
jobs and her shoots, and they were like, kids are
so cute, we should use them in this ad. And
so then from that we got you know, commercial agents,
and started doing commercials. And then when I was five,
I ended up doing do you remember, Oh my gosh, well,
Christy McNichol so phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Do you remember that movie? Why am I blanking on it?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Oh? It was such a great movie, Little darlings.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh yes, yes, oh.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
My tatum'neill and Christy McNichol. This is a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Mm hmm, little dart. Yeah, So I'm.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Just mentioning yes because I love that movie so much.
But Christy mcnicholl played my sister, my older sister, in
a movie when I was five, and that was like
my first kind of big, you know, opportunity was that
it was a movie of the week. They used to
have these things called Movies of the Week and yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
So which which movie was that?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
It was called Smer of My German Soldier.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh yes, you?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I mean so you were on some like again heavy
Hitter shows and Punky Brewster Night Writer twenty one jub
Street has heeks. I mean like, yes, how did it
feel too, like you get a role on Night Writer?
How did it feel like step onto these sets of
these just like iconic TV shows?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
What was that like?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Well, it's interesting because we're all human, right, Like, we're
all I feel like even the biggest celebrities geek out
over other celebrities because we're all fans of each other.
You know. So growing up I loved Night Writer.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So at twelve years.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Old, I was like, I can't believe I'm on set.
I'm looking at Michael Knight. I'm like, my match, this
is insane.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I wanted to like sit in the car hit all
of that.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
And I look back now and I and I saw
a scene. I was like, that seemed like it was
one million years ago. No, do you know what I mean? Like,
do remember things like you watch Vacation with Chevy ch
and I'm like, oh, get my kids. I'm like you guys,
you've got to see this movie is so great and
I'm watching, Oh what does this feel like it was
one hundred years ago? That's what That's what night Rider
(08:11):
felt like when I was watching the scene. But anyway,
I digress. The it was it's so great, Like I
loved being a part of it, but I was just
a kid. I was like geeking out on being there
and being on set because I love the show.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Was there like a role or an experience from that
early stage of your career that really stands out to
you that you like think back often and fondly on, Oh.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Well, if we're going to go there, it's obviously it's
teen Witch.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Like it takes the cake because it was so like
this unsuspecting, like massive cult.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Classic, what was what happened?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Like how did this happen? But it genuinely is.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I mean I love every project I do for you know,
a myriad of reasons, but teen it is it for me,
like it holds a really special place in my heart.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's so good.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I mean, it's one of those movies that people like,
everyone's rewatching it, especially around Halloween. It has such a
cult falling. Like you said, I mean, like, you got
to work with Darren from Bewitch to that movie that's incredible.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Like insane, It wasn't incredible, Yeah, and it was like, yeah,
Magic Witches. What of course it's Darren. Of course it's Derwood.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yes, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So uh yeah, making how did that? How did teen
Witch come together? I'm curious about that, Like, how'd you
get involved with that project?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You know, it was just an audition, just an a
for a film went in.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You know, I didn't really like put much pressure on
myself because I had been doing this for so long,
but there's always an element of like walking into a
room and performing in front of strangers, that you never
get fully comfortable with that. Let me just state that clearly.
But it was just, yeah, it's just not just and
(10:01):
I thought it was a really cute movie, and I
just was living in the moment, you know, got the movie,
became really good friends with everyon on set. We were
such we were so close and it was such a
wonderful and innocent time in life, and like it was
just a different era and I loved it so much.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And you can tell, you.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Can tell that we loved each other and we genuinely
got along so well, and I think that is part
of the magic of the movie.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, I was just gonna say that.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I mean, it looks like you guys are all having
a blast in that movie and it really does come through.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah. Absolutely. And we were just reunited recently, basically all
of us for a convention and it was self great.
It was just like no time had passed. I just
love them so much.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
That makes me so happy that I love hearing that.
You were saying, like you never get used to auditioning,
and I'm as I have never auditioned, I likely will
never audition I'm so curious about Like that's kind of
surprised me because I was wondering, like if you you know,
if you do it enough times, does it just become
a thing.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
A little bit. It's so it's it also seems so
uncomfortable to do and so weird and like so the
kind of I don't know, I'm just curious, like how
like auditioning relates to like the rest of acting as
a whole, because it's like so different than what you're
actually doing, but it's a necessary part of it.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
It is so different and it's so necessary and a
lot of times. Well, now since COVID, you're doing everything remotely.
You know, you're putting, you're doing self tapes, and there
are advantages and disadvantages to that. But you know a
lot of times people would get jobs because they were
really good in the room, like they just auditioned well,
you know, you had to audition well, you had to
like come across like you were so unfazed and just
(11:47):
like even though your insides are like, oh my gosh,
I'm dying. But yeah, I mean, after so many years
of doing it, there is an element of you get
comfortable doing it. However, there is a job at stake.
They are total strangers, like sitting there staring at you,
judging you. You know, you have to, you know, do
(12:08):
your best under those kind of situations, and it can
be incredibly intimidating. So yeah, I mean I kind of
miss it because I liked it. I liked it, you know,
I got to they got to see me as a
person and get to know, you know, like got a
sense of who I was on tape. You like, you
really don't know, and but on tape you get the
(12:28):
advantage of putting your very best take on You have
no nerves. You know, you can do a great job.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh yeah, you can memorize everything. Has there been a
time where you went in to do an audition and
like they threw something just out of left field issue
that you were not prepared for.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Always they would do things like that, yeah, or they
want you. They want to see like how well you
take direction and who knows what they would throw at you.
And also too you you would have the intimidation of
walking and like sizing up your competition. You know, you
could hear them and the other you could hear how
they're doing their audition. Sometimes you'd feel like, oh, I
can do better than that, or.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Or you're like, oh my gosh, they.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Are really good. You know. So it could work for
against you, but good times.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
It's so fascinating to me. Okay, Twin Peaks, I want
to talk about Twin Peaks a bit. Atlanta budding Milford
hopeful for Miss Twin Peaks. I mean such if you
could be a part of like any show, I mean,
incredible to have that on your on your credit list.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Did you work with David Lynch much?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Unfortunately I didn't.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I was that show at the time, was probably the
biggest show on television, and I just remember, Oh, it
was a time where you know, you you sat down
at whatever time and you all watched it with everyone
else that was watching me at eight o'clock at that
same time. Everyone was talking about it and it was
such an It was just groundbreaking the show. No one
(13:57):
had ever seen anything like it. So season two, when
I got the audition, I was so excited. Again here
I am.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I'm just a human.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I love the show. I'm a huge fan of the show.
I'm desperate to be on it. And the audition was like, oh,
the description for Lana was like.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Oh, she's just so beautiful, like.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
All the men are just falling at her feet and
all this stuff. And I saw the show. I saw
how beautiful these women were, the cast, the regulars, they
were on the cover Rolling Stone. They were the most
exquisitely beautiful women ever. And I was like, Okay, I
have to figure out something that's gonna, you know, make
me stand out a little bit. I need to do
(14:38):
something different. And so I read the material and I
was like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna make her southern.
I'm gonna give her like this super southern drawl and
being from Georgia, super easy for me to do that,
and so I thought, you know, like this is gonna
work or it's not gonna work, but I'm gonna take
my chance. I'm gona do it. And I got it.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I couldn't believe that, and I was like, yes, oh
my gosh, this show is this is a hit show.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I have Oh I have just made it. And then
it was canceled. Why I can't even I can't. I
don't understand it.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
And the great mysteries of television history. Why that show
got canceled.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
It's two seasons, that's it.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Really, Yes, unbelievable, but hey I got to be a
part of it, and it was you know, it was
an absolute career highlight for sure.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, I mean absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
And then really quick, I just really want to point
out a fuzz Bucket is one of the best movies
of all time. If you haven't seen fuzz Bucket, please
get fuzz Bucket.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Do you get Do you have people coming up to you,
like conventions and stuff saying how many fuzzy.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Absolutely not, You're probably no person. But it was on
a podcast they were like, we love fuzz Bucket. I
have to rewatch it.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But that was really fun though. That was a fun show.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
It's a delightful show, you know, it's fantastic and Disney
Movie of the Week. So Robin Lively here hanging out
with us. We have so much more to get into.
We're going to wax on, wax off here in a second,
talk about the Karate Kid. This is the ice Smell
pop culture podcast. Everybody stick around. It's the Icemell pop
(16:25):
culture podcast on I Am all in. We're hanging out
with Robin Lively, the Great Robin Lovely. We're having so
much fun here.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh, the Karate Kid.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
You are part of the Karate Kid verse Jessica Andrews
and Karate Kid Part three.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yes, and tell us, how did you how.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Did you become involved with that movie in the third installment?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
How'd that happen?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Oh my gosh, this movie. You know, I keep reminding
you of like how just you know, I'm just a
human girl fan the entire time. You know, then it
was like nowadays, you you know so many the industry
has changed so much. It was so much simpler then.
(17:10):
You would just go on auditions and it wasn't like,
oh this is an this is not to have an
offer oute to like this a list celebrity. I got opportunities.
I was virtually a nobody. I mean I had worked
my whole life, but I wasn't like this name actress.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And that was the beauty of it back then.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
And I got the audition I read for the director.
I had no idea that John Avildson was this icon.
Thank goodness, I didn't know. I just was so naive.
I did not know Rocky. I didn't. I wish I'd
known these things, but I just got the audition. I
(17:50):
remember seeing years later, like my mom had written it
on a little notepad, my callback for John Avildson. Anyway,
I just read for him. I remember it vividly. I
remember behind the desk I did the audition. I got
a callback next to you know, I'm testing for the movie.
And it was between me and Heather Graham. And I've
(18:10):
told her a few times and Heather ended up on
Twin Peaks with me. So I go again. I was
telling you about sizing up my competition. I get to
the screen test and we go through hair and makeup,
which is what you do at a screen test. Then
and they have the whole set. It was the scene
with the cast role. You know that was a scene
(18:31):
doing it. Maybe we did a couple, but I know
we did that one and they film it with actual
film and it was like legit. And I saw Heather
Graham and I was like, oh my, suddenly all of
my confidence just went out the door. I was like, oh,
she looks like like a doll, like a living doll.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Like she is so stunning.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Oh oh well, okay, well at least you know what
I get to I get to do a scene with
Ralph Machio, with Daniel LaRusso. So I did the screen
test and then, as you know how it worked out,
I got it, which I could not believe. I don't
think there was a moment in that film that I
in my mind. I wasn't like having these external moments
where I was like, you're doing a scene with Daniel Larisso,
(19:15):
you're doing a scene with mister Biagi. I still do
that to this day, like on Lioness when I'm working
with Nicole Kidman, I'm like, oh, you're doing the scene
with Stine.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You are working Nicole.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
You know what I mean? The novelty never wears off,
and I know I never walk onto his head and
don't just have immense gratitude to still be here and
still be doing what I love so much.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I love to hear that. That makes me so happy.
That's That's exactly what I was like hoping for.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I mean, obviously everybody's a fan of the original Karate Kid,
but I was like, I'm curious joining a movie in
its third, you know, installment. Yeah, how did it feel like?
There's so much of the same cast and crew were
around for all three. How did it feel like coming
in at the third movie? Was everyone welcoming to you?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Did it feels kind of weird?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Oh? No, everyone was wonderful. But I mean there are
rumors out there about the third one. What I remember
about it was I know that they were writing the
script as we were filming, so a lot of changes
were happening on the spot.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
So that kind of lent.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Itself to a little bit of like frustration. I sensed
a bit of frustration, you know, on set, and I
wasn't only privy to everything that was going on, and
you know, they changed it from us being love interest
to just being friends because the age difference. And then
at one point, this is really cool, this is really cool.
We so the dance when we went to the to
(20:51):
the club and we were dancing that was supposed to
be choreographed. And so we were at Warner Brothers and
met with the infamous Paula Abdul.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yes, Ralph and I wondered this soundstage and Ralph and
I go in there and we meet.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
But she was so lovely, she was so.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Wonderful, and Ralph was like, you know what this just feels.
I just like, I don't, this doesn't whatever he said.
I won't quote him. All I know is we walked
out about ten minutes later and decided it was not
going to be a choreographed dance.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Interesting.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Yeah, I got to meet Paula Abdul, So that right? Cool? Yeah?
Straight up?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Uh that's I'm a defender of third movies in like
in series. I'm a big fan of Back to the
Future three. I love Return of the Jedi and Kardi
Kit three is no different. I think it's a very
special movie and I think it's an integral.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Part of the series.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yes, I mean, like, so, Ralph Machio, he was like,
had you met him at all before you started filming
that movie?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Wow? I had never met He was about as big
as a got you know, for me anyway.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I was so karate Kid took everyone.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I mean, that film was everything. I mean, I can
speak for myself.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I was obsessed with that movie.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I was obsessed with him. Oh it was just the greatest.
So to be a part of it in any form,
even if it wasn't the greatest of all of them,
oh my gosh, it was so it was iconic for me.
It was a dream come true. Talk about a career highlight.
Like I genuinely like I could not get past the
(22:34):
fact that I was I was incredika. Even today, I
showed my daughter we were watching it, and I was like,
I can't believe that's my name up there with this
Rolf Machio, pat and Merita Robin Lively, Are you kidding me?
That's crazy?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
So awesome, It's the best.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
And Ralph was wonderful, so professional and kind and like
he was terrific to work with. Everyone was so it
was overall, it was a really, really incredible experience.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
So when we first see you in the movie, you're
on the pottery wheel, you're throwing a vase. Did you
have much ceramics experience before you did that scene?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Had you ever been on a wheel before.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
No, But they gave me some classes and I made
some bowls. Oh yeah, I made bowls. I made cups.
I wish I still had them. So I did do
some classes with a private you know, private lessons, and
also repelling. I learned how to repel for real.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Okay, that was my next question because, like you know,
a lot of people are if you're in a Karate
Kid movie, everyone's like, oh, are you going to learn martial arts?
Robin Lively got to repel down a cliff.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That was real.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
That was very real. I got to do all of that,
Like I genuinely learned how to do all of it.
It was so cool.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
That's oh my god, that's incredib wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
So when you're filming, you know, I understand like some
of that was on location in Marin, is that right?
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yes, and then some of it on a stage I imagine.
I mean in any way, it must have been terrifying,
right to be in the harness and everything.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
How did well, not so much. Now, it was a
lot of it was like you know, some of a
lot of it was a green screen.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I'm sure you can tell.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
We were peled a little bit down a mountain. It
was not It wasn't dangerous or scary at all.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
No, oh my god, you making it look so easy.
Even with like the green screens where they're like a
couple of feet off the ground, it's still like it
still freaks me out, like that would freak me out anyway,
not at all.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
The most notable thing that happened was the the sorry hang.
The most notable thing that happened though, was the ropes.
While we were in Marin County, they were dragged through
poison oak poison ivy and so when yeah, so when
(24:48):
we got back to La when we were filming on stage,
Ralph was grabbing the ropes and got the worst case
of poison oak I think I've ever seen ever, Like
we're swollen. Oh, it was so intense, it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, oh my god, that's again.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
You think you're gonna when you're did in a movie
like that, You're like, oh, I might like maybe I'll
break a bone or something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
No, no, no, covered and poison ivy oh.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Yeah, now who would have imagined a millionaires that would happen.
But yes, that was one of the big notable things
we had to shut down production. It was so bad.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Whoa had to take an oatmeal bath or whatever. I
do know how you fixed those things.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
But exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
So, and I want to talk about Cobra Kai. So
exciting you came back for season five of Cobra Kai. Yes,
that I mean I rewatched that episode earlier today. It's
so exciting to see your return.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Was that a fun experience for you?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Oh? It was incredible. I was just waiting for that
phone to ring. I'm like, okay, guys, I'm ready, let's
like come on now. So when it finally happened, I
was so curious to see how they were going to
integrate me into the story. And I thought it was
so g Yes, I thought it was so fun.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
And then I got to.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Do like this badass brawl in a bar, like I
don't get roles like that. I'm not fighting in bars.
It was so much fun. The cast was amazing, the crew,
the producers, creators, they were all so incredible. And they
I'm sure you know, they are such huge, huge fans
of Karate Kid, the whole franchise. So when I was
(26:22):
on set, it was like they were all geeking out,
you know.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I was like, this is so cool.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
It was one of those jobs where you're like and
then I'm reunited with with Ralph and with Billy who
have been friends with forever, and.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You know, so many people.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
It just like I almost felt guilty, like getting paid
for the job. It was so much fun.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
That's great. I love it. Yeah, that seeing when you
first entered the bar.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, I think you point out that there's like an
arcade machine and you're like, A, that's no remake, that's
the original.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I just thought that was such a cool lie.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Yes, yes, yes, it is so good.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Have you noticed, like since being on Cobra Kai people,
I like to think that people are going back and
rewatching Karate Kid three, like seeing you as inspired them
to go back.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Have you been.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Have you heard from fans that are like, oh I'm
watching it again, or like, has there been a resurg
in some popularity?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
No, I would imagine so they haven't said as much,
but I would imagine that they have. And I love that.
You know, I know that there were mixed reviews on
the third one, but there is a you know, people
do love it, they really do, and I just I like,
I tell even when we did the Red carpet premiere
for the season finale. We did this huge group photo and.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
All of us there and I'm looking around.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I'm like, I keep telling you this is the same thing,
but I'm like, I can't believe that I'm here with
these are all the karate Kid people.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I feel like an impostor.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
It's so cool.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
It's so cool, and you know, and listening.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
If you have not seen Karate Kid three, I watched
part of it on Netflix this morning and I got
the little notifications leaving Netflix soon, which.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
That's the biggest secret in Hollywood. And I myself am
a major fangirl for Taylor Sheridan. And it's so exciting
You're in not one, but two shows in the Sheridan verse.
I want to talk about Landman on Paramount Plus it
tell us how you what was it like getting into
(29:34):
the world of land Man. It's the new Billy Bob
Thornton show again.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Pinch me, you know, Like, Hi, I am so excited
to be a part of these shows. I cannot even
begin to tell you. It is so thrilling and so cool.
Oh so. The the little bit of a cool backstory
is that Taylor Sheridan was a actor and was in
(30:01):
my dad's acting class for a long time, yes years,
I mean decades ago with my husband, my husband, this
was before we were dating. I barely even noticed my
husband at the time, but he was he was in
my dad's acting class.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
He was in the class. Bart Johnson was in the
class too.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Wow, Yes, he sure was because he did a movie
with his my husband. So Bart's first movie was Me Familia,
and my dad was in that. So from that, my
dad just kind of took him under his wedding.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
And he like absolutely loved and brought him home to
my mom.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
He was over our house all the time, but I
was not living at home, but he was just kind
of a fixture around the family all the time, and
so he ended up like helping my dad teach like
the younger kids classes. Anyway, So Taylor was Taylor was
in my dad's So many people were in my dad's
acting class. But so Bart and Taylor know each other.
(30:56):
I didn't ever know Taylor because I wasn't in my
acting class. I would just kind of like breathing and out.
But I was busy, I was working, you know, so
I didn't know him personally. So then his career just explodes,
and I remember Bart being.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Like, oh, I can't believe this is insane. This is incredible.
Taylor Sheridan, what.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
My mind is blown? Right, And so now we're years later,
we get an audition, both of us for you know,
roles that have nothing to do with each other, and
so we often put each other on tape. So he
does my tape, I do his tape, and that's it.
And then we hear, oh, you're both pinned for the show,
(31:41):
and we're like, what this is incredible? Could you imagine?
We are such huge Billy Bob Thornton fans from sling
Blade and just everything. The guy is a genius. Yeah,
so I thought, what is the probability we really think
we're both gonna get this? I doubt it, but this
is exciting. Let's hope one of us gets it, and
then we both get it. So we were both in
(32:02):
the pilot, which was so cool, and Taylor is the
guy is like how do you know what? I mean? Like,
how how does he do it all?
Speaker 3 (32:15):
And now it's it's it's wild, Like you know, I
started seeing his movies and I was just so I
love It's exactly the type of story I love to watch.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
He's like rural, no wires kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
And then he started the TV shows and it's like
I cannot believe the output of this man.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
It's it's wild.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
And he is he's doing it all himself, like he
doesn't have a writing staff. I don't know how he's like,
is the guy human? He's just an absolute powerhouse and
he's so cool.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
What a genius this.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Guy is, right, So it was really fantastic too, so
great to be a part of the show. And then
and then I get an audition for Lioness again, same
kind of thing, do a self tape, and I didn't
at all think I was going to get it, to
be honest with you, so when.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I did, I was through the roof.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
And also to.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Get to play such completely.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
I don't know if you've had a chance to watch
the shows, but my character is so vastly different Lioness
to Landman.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
So to say that I am.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Pinging myself is the understatement of the century. I feel
so excited and honored to be on these shows. And
Jill Wagner is so cool. I think I could be wrong,
but when I met her on Lionis, she was like, oh, Robin,
it's so cool to have you here, and I'm such
a fan of your work.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And I'm like, this is insane.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
I think she's a teen witch fan. I could be wrong,
but I think she is. But anyway, it's incredible. Wait,
I got to tell you on more thing then. Ruth McGill.
He's in Lioness and he and I worked together when
I was thirteen in Wildcats. If you.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, is that crazy?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It's so crazy at these things come around.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
I'm telling you right, thirteen to now that was a
few years ago. Well that's so fine, but it was
a while ago.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Does that happen when you're like, I mean, it must
happen all the time where you're working on something, and
then like when your co stars or someone comes up
and goes, hey, by the way, I love Teen Witch.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Oh yeah. Oh well, when I did thirty Rock, I
was like, that was one of the biggest shows on
television when I did that, and I was like, how
am I on this show? You've got Jennifer Anniston on
the week before, Oprah's on the week after and me
and I literally I said, I guarantee you someone here
is a Teen Witch fan. And I was right. It
(34:44):
was Matt Hubbard. He's a producer of the show. And
Tina was like, oh, Robin, she was so cool. They
were amazing. She was like, oh, I had to sit.
I had to sit through watch all the teen Witch scenes,
and I like boys wet locker room. I just adored her.
She was so great.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah, that is so awesome. Oh so Landman and Lioness.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
You can scale them out and over Paramount Plus and
check those both out and see Robin and I'm sure
incredible performances in both. So we were talking before we
started here. This is a Goilmore Girls podcast, and you
know karate Kid was mentioned in Gomore Girls a couple
of times, which is yes, which led to this fun
(35:32):
chat we're having. What do you love about Gilmore Girls?
What stands out to the show?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
I love Gilmore Girls, And in fact, I rewatched several
episodes of My Daughter and We're more obsessed. I loved
their relationship. I think that was the first time I
you know, like when shows were out at that time,
and the relationship between the two was unlike any you
(35:58):
had ever seen between a mother and daughter. And Lauren Graham,
they Alexis blowed out, they were so just you just
adored them. You loved their relationship. You wanted your relationship
to be like that with your mom. I want that
relationship with my daughter, you know, like it was.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Just the best. I wish I could have been on
that show.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
If you could live in stars Hollow, what would like?
What would you like? What kind of job would you
want to have? What would you want to be doing
in stars Hollow?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Ash that's a good gouestion.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
We would have to think about that one. I oh, well,
we already have that little coffee shop. What would I
want to do? M I don't have to think about it.
That's you caught me off guard with that one.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Oh, that's that's what we do here on diam On podcast.
We ask the hard hitting questions like that.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
That is a really tough one. Well, I know if
you know what I would do? Okay, know what I do.
I would want to run like a beauty shop and
like do the hair. Because to be honest with you,
this is even You'll give you a little secret. All
of the makeup artists they know all the dirt. They
know all the dirt, all the dirt because the actors
(37:07):
you sit in those chairs and for whatever reason, it's
like you get a truth serum and you just want
to tell everything. So that's what I would do. I
would like on a salon, so I could hear all
the dirt that was going on, all the gossip in
the town.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Interesting. I love it.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
We need we need a keeper of secrets like that
in a in start as hollow, Robin Lightly, this has
been so much fun.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
I appreciate hearing all the memories and the stories. This
is just the best. Again, karate Kid three. Make sure

good time. Thank you again, Robin.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
I'm just curious.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
I'm gonna stump you now.

every week, and yet I've never been asked what that
smell is, So thank.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
You, Rob.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Okay, you're gonna have to think about that.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
You know this, it smells like something different every week
because we're always cooking something up differently.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
But this is nostalgic. We know that it's a nostalgic smell.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Yeah, I have to say this week, pop culture smells
like it smells like dirt and poison ivy, that's what
it smells.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Okay, I love it. Let's go with that.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
