from my Heart Radio your pop culturenews, views, reviews, and celebrity
interviews on Fall, the Movies,TV, music, and pop culture u
(00:22):
Crab Weekly. Here's Kyle McMahon.Na, Na, Hello, welcome to
pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon.I of course am Kyle McMahon. I
thank you so much for hanging outwith me and talking and discussing and hanging
out all about pop culture. Sothis episode we've got some great interviews.
(00:45):
I talk with Dane Dehn once again, this time about The Stranger, which
is really good. We have apretty lengthy discussion about that. I also
talk with the cast of Apple TVplus is the Big Door Prize season TI
who is out? And I talkedto the cast once again, including Chris
O Dowd, Gabrielle Dennis, JoshSegara, Ali Machi, and David west
(01:11):
Reid. So it is a fullepisode with a lot of great interviews.
So let's hop right into it.First up, let's talk with Dane.
So the film The Stranger. Thiswas originally on Quibi. You remember,
you may remember back when Quibi debuted. I did a lot of work with
them, and that was an interestingexperiment that didn't necessarily work, but I
(01:37):
liked it, and you know,they ended up shutting down, but that's
our right. A lot of thecontent went to other places, and The
Stranger is one of them. SoThe Stranger now is available exclusively on Hulu.
It's a great series. It's acrime thriller, you know, one
of those kind of things where thepremise is that a ride share drive is
(02:00):
thrown into her worst nightmare when amysterious passenger enters her car, and her
terrifying, heart stopping ride with theStranger unfolds over twelve hours as she navigates
la in a chilling game of catand mouse. Dane plays Carl and does
an incredible job. You may knowDane as Billy the Kid in The Kid.
(02:22):
He was in Oppenheimer as Kenneth NicholsValerian and Valerian and a City of
Thousand Planets, Lockhart in a Curefor Wellness, Harry Osborne and Green Goblin
in the amazing Spider Man two andso many other great projects. I talked
to him back in twenty twenty onefor Stephen King's Lisses Story, which was
(02:43):
really great as well. So let'sjust get right into my talk about The
Stranger on Hulu with Dane Dihan.Well, first of all, Dane,
thank you for speaking to me aboutThe Stranger. I really appreciate it.
Yeah, no problem, So tellme a bit. You know this it
has an interesting journey, this project, where originally it was on Quibi as
(03:10):
kind of these you know, choppedup into many episodes. Now it is,
uh, you know, you're seeingit as a full film. What
is that like for you as anactor? You know, to see a
project kind of take on two differentlives. Uh. Yeah, I mean,
look, it's it's surprising, youknow, But I'm really I'm really
(03:32):
happy for Viena the director. Imean, you know, I think she
she put a lot of time andenergy into this project, and so the
fact that and she obviously continues toand it's something she's passionate about. So
I'm really happy that, you know, mostly for her, I'm happy that
it's it's getting a second or thirdlife. Or whatever, and people are
(03:55):
gonna finally get the chance to maybemore eyes on it than has been in
the past. And when you originallyyou know, back in I guess it
was what like twenty twenty or somethingthat it debuted on Quibi and obviously you
had filmed it before that. Whatoriginally drew you to the Stranger? Well,
(04:20):
first of all, you know thedirector. I think Viena has made
incredible things before, like the Killing, and you know, I think that
talking to her, I really trustedher. She seemed to have a really
strong sense of story and character.And so when I read the script,
it seemed like it seemed like thischaracter that was just gonna be like a
(04:43):
lot of fun. You know,I've played bad guys in the past,
but there was something just purely evilabout this character that seemed like something I
can indulge in. And you know, it seemed like, yeah, it
just seemed like it was gonna bea lot of fun. Like, sure,
it's it's a thriller, but Ithink it was something that made me
laugh along the way, and Ithink there's there's laugh moments in there anyway.
(05:06):
And to have that freedom to justlike indulge in something and let it
fly, like I knew we weregonna have a fun time. And for
the actual filming, you know alot of it. You know, there's
a great chunk that takes place ina car. How is that as an
(05:26):
actor? Like, you know,I feel like it's kind of I mean,
I don't know, I'm not anactor, but like, is that
a challenge to kind of like besitting and filming that whole time? Like
is it different than or is itjust like another day in the life of
an actor? I mean, Idon't know. I feel like most TV
shows or movies have something that takesplace in a car. So you know,
(05:50):
there's an impressive set of rigs thatyou can have on cars. You
know that that is some of themost interesting part of being on a set
and filming in it. But youknow, every scene takes place in takes
place somewhere, So if it's ina car, that's fine. I wouldn't
(06:11):
say it presents a different kind ofchallenge. It's just it's just the place
you're in that day, Okay,And you know as you're reading the script,
I mean, I know watching itboth times that I'm like on the
edge of my seat. You know, are you drawn to that as well?
So? And what I mean bythat is like, do you see
(06:32):
it as you're reading? Are youreading it like with like fresh eyes or
are you reading it as an actor? In other words, can you enjoy
like how I get like that edgeof your street, like oh I can't
wait till the next you know,the next part? Or are you seeing
it more methodically as you read it? No? I think I think this
(06:54):
one, especially read as an incrediblyenjoyable and compelling and edge of the seat
kind of ride. You know.I think the stories, the story in
it is strong, and it's alot of fun. It was fun to
read and it's fun to watch.And I think that that came through you
know. I mean, when Iread a script, I'm I'm sure the
character that I'm playing is incredibly important. The director is incredibly important, but
(07:17):
the story is important too, Likeyou want to make something that that people
are going to see and people aregoing to enjoy for whatever reason. And
the reasons people are going to enjoythis, you know, they came through
crystal clear from the first read.When you're done rapping, you know,
obviously, oftentimes there's promo tours andyou know, you're doing all kinds of
(07:41):
interviews and premieres and that sort ofthing. Did you ever think, you
know, when when you wrap thisand originally like okay, like in other
words, when you were done withthat chapter and you move gone to the
next project, did you ever think, Okay, this could take on a
(08:05):
whole new life at another time.Or are you just kind of you're done
that part of your work, thatpart of your h you know, journey
as an actor and I'm on seventeenother different projects at this point, you
know, or like, was ita surprise for you when you when you
got the call that, oh,this is getting a whole new life now.
(08:26):
I was surprised when I found outthat it was gonna like be on
Hulu. I think it's exciting.I think it's cool. But yeah,
we made it in twenty nineteen,you know, and it was it was
on Quibi, which no one reallyknew what was going to happen to Quibi.
I think one of the questions alot of people had, which I
think was a smart question to haveat the time, was well, if
(08:48):
Quibi doesn't work, what's going tohappen to all this content? You know?
And because they had like a billiondollars or something. I mean,
they were making a ton of stuff, and I'm sure there's still a ton
of stuff out there that you know, could have a second life. I
think I think we're at a timein our business where like I'm all about
(09:11):
creating like new content, Like let'smake new stories like in this post strike
world, Like it feels like thingsare slow to get going. So I
understand why you would want to likehave material that's already been made and can
be re released as a movie.And that's cool and exciting. But I'm
all about creating new content. Youknow. But that question back then and
(09:35):
when we made it in twenty nineteen, like that question of what's going to
happen to all this stuff if Quibidoesn't work? It's a it is a
question we all had, and I'msuper excited for Vin know that that this
one's getting another go out. Yeah, it's so. It's so you know,
when I originally I worked with withQuibi, when when they launched to
(09:58):
you know, hype it up andtalk about it, and I loved the
content and actually this was one ofthe ones that I was really drawn to,
uh, you know, with thelaunch of Quibi because it's just such
a compelling project and I loved it, and you know, and I love
it and it's such an edge ofyour seat and it's so twisty and layered
and there's just so much good stuffto it that when I saw that,
(10:22):
you know, Venus, that thisproject was coming to Hulu, I was
just like, that is so coolbecause, as you said, you know,
now it gets a wider release,more opportunity for more people to see
such a cool project. You know, yeah, totally, I'm stoked about
it, you know, I knowit's it's Vina has never lost her passion
(10:43):
for it. She's always tried tokeep it going after Quibi went away.
I know it's been to like horrorfilm festivals and I think it had like
it may have been on like TVor something. So it's something that she's
still passionate about, she still believesin, and it was her passionate about
the project that was like most appealingabout it to me from the start.
So you know, I hope Ihope billions of people watch it, you
(11:07):
know, I hope people love it. I hope people fall in love with
it all over again. I meanthat would be like a wild scenario.
That's something I made like five orsix years ago. All of a sudden
people are watching and it's like,I it hasn't been a part of my
life for so long, but like, sure have at it, you know,
go watch it? Yeah real,yeah, absolutely. It reminds me
(11:28):
when I was a kid of youknow, a lot of these movies would
find maybe they got crowded out atthe box office, but then like when
the DVD or the Blu ray hitor whatever, it would find like this
whole new life, you know,And it kind of reminds me of that,
like, you know, another versionof that where you know, Quibi
didn't necessarily as a as a wholework. I love the idea, but
(11:54):
but now you have a project likethis that's so great that can find a
whole new audience, and and itreally reminds me of that like kind of
exciting time where no art really everdies, you know what I mean.
Yeah? I hope so, man, Yeah, I hope people just like
gobble it up, you know.Dane, thank you so much for speaking
(12:15):
with me. I can't wait foreverybody to see The Stranger exclusively now on
Hulu. Thanks for speaking with meagain. Thanks man, of course,
Dandy Hahn. It's always great talkingwith Dane. He's such a talented actor.
I love how he puts himself intohis roles. He's so intense and
(12:35):
just a really, really great guyas well. So thanks Dane once again

Make sure you watch it and hitme up on socials let me know what

(12:56):
for allowing us to pay the bills. Our sponsors allow us to continue to
bring you great content each and everyepisode, and we can't thank them enough.
And I can't thank you enough forhanging out with me as always,
you guys are the best. Soup next The Big Door Prize on Apple
TV Plus, which if you haven'tseen the first season, I highly highly
(13:20):
recommend it. It's based on thebook The Big Door Prize and it's got
a pretty kind of interesting premise whereit revolves around this grocery store of a
small town where this kind of machinejust magically appears and it seems to be
able to predict the life potential ofthose who use the machine. Chris O'Dowd
(13:41):
stars as Dusty. He is amazingand everything he does, including Bride'smaids and
the clover Field Paradox Miss Peregrine's Homefor Peculiar Children. He is a Emmy
Award winner for his role in Stateof the Union and so I'm excited to
talk to him once again. Upfirst, we talked with David west Reid,
(14:03):
who is the executive producer and hedeveloped the Big Door Prize for the
television screen. David was the executiveproducer on Shit's Creek, which is an
amazing series if you haven't watched that, and he won an Emmy Award for
it for Outstanding Comedy Series. Solet's talk with David about the Big Door
(14:24):
Prize. Here he is David WestEd. Thank you so much for joining me.
David, I really appreciate it.Thank you so. First of all,
congratulations on season two. I havereally enjoyed it. What was it
like for you? You know,got the second season go knowing that you
could expand the story. Yeah,that was a really fun opportunity because obviously
(14:50):
the series is based on a bookby M. O. Walsh. But
the book has this ending, andour series could not have an ending season
one, so we had to reallyopen it up and go off roading with
the story and find what was thenext stage for all of these characters and
also the next stage for this mysteriousmachine. And how did you and you
(15:13):
know, I was thinking as Iwas putting, I was thinking, as
you know, the cast that andyourself that I'm interviewing today, how do
I do this without being, youknow, with being completely spoiler free?
So I know that as I tryto talk to you with this bouncing over
bombs, you know, how didyou decide, you know, staying true
(15:37):
to the original source work, howdid you expand it in the spirit of,
you know, the work, butleading it in ways that it didn't
go in right? Well, weknew that, you know. What was
so great about the original book isthis core concept of people in a small
town being confronted by the idea oftheir potential or their destiny, by this
(16:00):
machine that gives them cards that tellsthem, if everything went right with your
brain and your body, this iswhat you could become. So we wanted
to continue to ask those questions,what does it mean to be happy?
What does it mean to achieve yourpotential? But obviously we didn't want to
just have more cards that would feelvery flat, and we wanted to escalate
(16:21):
things and really make the second seasoneven more exciting than the first. So
that's where we came up with thisidea that the machine would go to this
next level that would give people thesevisions without giving too much away, that
tell them something about their lives andthemselves and who they are and who they
could be that are a little lessclearer than the first season, and that
(16:44):
not everyone necessarily likes what they seeand it sends them spiraling in different directions,
which is where we get not onlyour drama, but a lot of
the comedy in the second season.And for you, if you had your
own more faux machine, I'm sureyou get that ask this a lot.
Would you want to know and wouldyou do anything with that info or would
(17:04):
you stay away from it? Whatwould you do? I think I might
resist for a while like Dusty,and I probably would find it just irresistible
eventually, because even if you thinkyou are happy and doing what you should
be doing and having fun as Iam, the idea of what is that
(17:25):
other path that might have been imaginedfor me, or if I had taken
a different turn? Is something thatI think everyone is drawn to. Yeah,
yeah, I don't think I'd beable to resist at some point.
Thank you so much. Congratulations onseason two. It's such a great show.
And thanks for speaking with me.David. Thank you. It's a
pleasure. David West read awesome guy, extremely talented. I love Shit's Creek
(17:49):
and I love the Big Door Prizeas well, and I think you will
too. Season two really, ashe mentioned, has to deviate from the
book because you know, the bookended, and I love what he's done
with those deviations. I think youwill too. All right, up next,
let's talk with Gabrielle Dennis and AliMackie. How are you both?
(18:11):
Thank you both so much for joiningme. I appreciate it. Hi,
I'm doing well. Thank you.Congratulations on season two. I love the
show and I can't wait for everybodyto see it. What was it like
for you both? You know,season two, and this is hard because
I'm trying to be as spoiler freeas possible, but season two diverse.
(18:33):
You know, the source material isessentially finished in certain ways. Season two
was kind of new territory. Whatis it like as actors to kind of
venture into new territory like that?Oh, it's always fun to play in
new sandbox. I think what's greatis although we pick up exactly where we
(18:56):
left off in season one at thetop of season two, the journey all
of us get to take is different. We get to play with different individual
actors and different scenarios and relationships anddynamics. So it's really fun just exploring
those those different, you know,different avenues, right. I think from
my character, it's always been newsource material in a sense, because I
(19:19):
think I was almost deliberately but alsoworking with Dave trying to discover as the
character discovers, and there's a lotI still don't know about Hannah, so
it's always been fun to kind ofpeel back her layers and be like,
what's happening? Wait, what thisis? What's going on with her?
So it's very fun. It's alwaysbeen such an exploration, do you as
(19:41):
you know, as a non actor, as a viewer, I would imagine,
you know, as I'm watching it, I'm kind of loving every new
kind of twist and turn and thatsort of thing. As an actor as
you're reading the script, do youget that same excitement or are you like
hyper focused on your role or howdoes that work? Well? Yeah,
(20:04):
for me, I tried, Especiallyif I'm a fan of something and I
like to watch it as a viewer, I try to honestly avoid as much
as I can because it's such atreat. Like when I watched season two,
it was like, oh, likeI can actually enjoy it as a
viewer and like not either just don'tremember it from a table read or just
wasn't their present in the presence ofit being filmed to like really be dialed
(20:27):
into it. But like, andeven the stuff with myself, like by
the time you add music and youadd lighting and the way they edit things,
it feels different than just you know, the three D version of us
being on set and like doing ourwork. It is such a beautiful thing
to see the culmination of all thepieces come together because everyone's role is so
important, you know, sound,color, correction, you know everything.
(20:49):
Yeah, everything comes together at theend of the day. And I think
that is what I think as audiences. I think as an actor, maybe
I wouldn't have I know that now, but I think as a viewer,
I probably wouldn't compute like how importantall these little elements helped tell the story,
you know what I mean? Andso for me it's exciting. Yeah,
I think it just really speaks toDave's world building. He's so amazing
(21:11):
at creating these rich, beautiful characters. And I think we're all fans of
each other. And I remember atthe end of season one, after the
table read, so many of thecasts were like, we had no idea
that Hannah had anything to do,and I loved, you know, kind
of keeping that secret. And Iknow Dave did too of just like that
reveal. I think even you werelike, wait, yeah, I think
(21:33):
we're all fans of each other's charactersof what's going on in their world.
I love that. And finally,if you had a morpho machine, what
do you think it would reveal abouteach of you? What I think?
Oh gosh, I think I'm crazy. I think that for me, like
(21:56):
I just would want something to endof the day watching the show. What's
printed on the card is one thing, and it may not be like an
exact, you know, interpretation ofthe word. So for me, it's
really the ultimate journey of where itlands. You right, and for me,
I would want that. I wouldwant to just feel fulfilled and happy
at the end of that role,whatever that is. And I would hope
(22:17):
my journey, my vision wouldn't beas dark as my characters this season,
like because you know, this season, instead of just the car, we're
also getting these visions from the MorphoMachine, so Cassle is pretty interesting.
But I would hope even if itwas a dark, crazy, weird,
you know vision, that ultimately Iwould be smart enough and passionate enough and
(22:37):
adventurous enough to go on the journeyto figure it out. Yeah. I
think maybe i'd be like Hannah andjust not have a card. I'd be
like, I opt out of thisexperiment for now. I love that.
Thank you both so much. Ican't wait for everybody to see season two
exclusively on Apple TV Plus. Thanks, Thank you bye. Have a great
(23:02):
day you Gabrielle Dennis and Allie Mackey. They're so great in the Big Door
Prize and I can't wait for youto see it again. Once you watch
it, hit me up on socials, Let's talk about it, Reddit,
Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, whereverit is you are, I am too.
(23:22):
Just find me all right, lastbut not least Josh Sigara and Chris
Doubt. Of course, I alreadygave Chris his intro earlier in the show.
Josh Sigara, if you don't know, originated the role of Melio Estefan
in the Broadway show On Your Feet, which of course was based on the
(23:44):
lives of music of twenty six timeGrammy Award winning husband and wife team Gloria
and Emilio Estefan. Of course I'veinterviewed Gloria a couple of times here on
this show. Josh also played Dannyin Scream six. He was amazing in
Thatanovic and Orange is the New Black. He was Pug Augustus Pug Pug Leezy
in Sheehall Attorney at Law, andof course he's Giorgio in The Big Door
(24:10):
Prize. So let's talk with JoshSagea and Chris O'Dell. Josh and Chris,
thank you so much for joining me. Appreciate it, like for having
us. Of course, First ofall, congratulations on season two. I
love it, and it takes theseries in exciting new directions. And I'm
trying to be this as hard becauseI'm trying to be as spoiler free as
(24:33):
possible. Don't tell him about yourEarth quick, Josh. For both of
you. You know, what isit like when you have amazing source material?
Season one was incredible? How doesit feel as an actor when you're
kind of going into uncharted waters?In some ways, it's exciting. That's
(24:55):
one of the best things about whatwe get to do is reading those scripts,
getting that email that says your nameand tells you what title of the
episode it is, and you justfly through it. You start getting some
questions answered. And that's what's beenso good about season two is that we
left some big questions unanswered at theend of season one. So season two,
I think you're starting to get someof those things that we were all
(25:17):
yearning for. Are you kidding me? I was sitting there with Dave and
with Sarah just being like, whatdo the blue dots mean? You know?
And how about for you, Chris? I mean, it's always fun
sitting down to read the new episodesbecause we don't really know what's going to
happen, and it's kind of interesting. It's obviously you're curious as to what
(25:40):
you're going to do yourself, butalso what all of these are the characters
is going to be ash because it'sso much kind of mystery in the show,
increasingly in terms of where did thisthing come from? Is there an
end thing here? And we findout more from the Morphol Machine in season
two. It gives us another littleinsights into our potential futures through this vision,
(26:00):
and it's kind of fun watching thatplayout. If you had a Morpha
machine, you know, and I'vethought about this a lot, I'm sure
both of you have as well.If you had your own Morphaux machine,
would you would you want to know? Would you would you go to it?
Hell? Yeah, he absolutely.I wonder what I feel like.
(26:26):
I will add a caveat though.I just hope that it doesn't make me
nervous. I hope it only solidifieswhere I'd want to go. You know,
like if I got like theme parkdesigner, I'd be stoked about that.
I grew up in Orlando. Ilove theme parks. I love smelling
(26:47):
the churros getting cooked. I likeseeing the way they designed the line structure
on the way to the roller coaster. Are you kidding me? I'd be
stoked if I knew that. Andhow about for you, Chris, I
would say chocolate machine maintenance man.I want to see it fits on the
card right, always curious as tohow low they can go with the font.
(27:12):
Absolutely, and also I feel likeyou're being around. I've got the
lot of will you Wanka fantasies andI'd like to see them play out.
I you know, I did thatthing that you do in high school,
like the career aptitude thing, andit said that I would either be janitorial
(27:33):
services or a clergy, which Ithink is really interesting and completely off the
mark from what I do. Butthat's nothing like you know, a morpho
machine. But I you know,I find it interesting to that both of
you are your choices, you know, your hopeful choices are both in the
(27:55):
creative kind of fields. You know, a theme park designer and you know,
working with like a chocolate fountain machinemachine maintenance man. Yeah, I
mean there's an art to that thoughthere's also delicious you know food like I'll
be your tester if you need.But thank you both very much. Congrats

thank you so much for hanging outwith me and talking and discussing and hanging
out all about pop culture. Sothis episode we've got some great interviews.
(00:45):
I talk with Dane Dehn once again, this time about The Stranger, which
is really good. We have apretty lengthy discussion about that. I also
talk with the cast of Apple TVplus is the Big Door Prize season TI
who is out? And I talkedto the cast once again, including Chris
O Dowd, Gabrielle Dennis, JoshSegara, Ali Machi, and David west
(01:11):
Reid. So it is a fullepisode with a lot of great interviews.
So let's hop right into it.First up, let's talk with Dane.
So the film The Stranger. Thiswas originally on Quibi. You remember,
you may remember back when Quibi debuted. I did a lot of work with
them, and that was an interestingexperiment that didn't necessarily work, but I
(01:37):
liked it, and you know,they ended up shutting down, but that's
our right. A lot of thecontent went to other places, and The
Stranger is one of them. SoThe Stranger now is available exclusively on Hulu.
It's a great series. It's acrime thriller, you know, one
of those kind of things where thepremise is that a ride share drive is
(02:00):
thrown into her worst nightmare when amysterious passenger enters her car, and her
terrifying, heart stopping ride with theStranger unfolds over twelve hours as she navigates
la in a chilling game of catand mouse. Dane plays Carl and does
an incredible job. You may knowDane as Billy the Kid in The Kid.
(02:22):
He was in Oppenheimer as Kenneth NicholsValerian and Valerian and a City of
Thousand Planets, Lockhart in a Curefor Wellness, Harry Osborne and Green Goblin
in the amazing Spider Man two andso many other great projects. I talked
to him back in twenty twenty onefor Stephen King's Lisses Story, which was
(02:43):
really great as well. So let'sjust get right into my talk about The
Stranger on Hulu with Dane Dihan.Well, first of all, Dane,
thank you for speaking to me aboutThe Stranger. I really appreciate it.
Yeah, no problem, So tellme a bit. You know this it
has an interesting journey, this project, where originally it was on Quibi as
(03:10):
kind of these you know, choppedup into many episodes. Now it is,
uh, you know, you're seeingit as a full film. What
is that like for you as anactor? You know, to see a
project kind of take on two differentlives. Uh. Yeah, I mean,
look, it's it's surprising, youknow, But I'm really I'm really
(03:32):
happy for Viena the director. Imean, you know, I think she
she put a lot of time andenergy into this project, and so the
fact that and she obviously continues toand it's something she's passionate about. So
I'm really happy that, you know, mostly for her, I'm happy that
it's it's getting a second or thirdlife. Or whatever, and people are
(03:55):
gonna finally get the chance to maybemore eyes on it than has been in
the past. And when you originallyyou know, back in I guess it
was what like twenty twenty or somethingthat it debuted on Quibi and obviously you
had filmed it before that. Whatoriginally drew you to the Stranger? Well,
(04:20):
first of all, you know thedirector. I think Viena has made
incredible things before, like the Killing, and you know, I think that
talking to her, I really trustedher. She seemed to have a really
strong sense of story and character.And so when I read the script,
it seemed like it seemed like thischaracter that was just gonna be like a
(04:43):
lot of fun. You know,I've played bad guys in the past,
but there was something just purely evilabout this character that seemed like something I
can indulge in. And you know, it seemed like, yeah, it
just seemed like it was gonna bea lot of fun. Like, sure,
it's it's a thriller, but Ithink it was something that made me
laugh along the way, and Ithink there's there's laugh moments in there anyway.
(05:06):
And to have that freedom to justlike indulge in something and let it
fly, like I knew we weregonna have a fun time. And for
the actual filming, you know alot of it. You know, there's
a great chunk that takes place ina car. How is that as an
(05:26):
actor? Like, you know,I feel like it's kind of I mean,
I don't know, I'm not anactor, but like, is that
a challenge to kind of like besitting and filming that whole time? Like
is it different than or is itjust like another day in the life of
an actor? I mean, Idon't know. I feel like most TV
shows or movies have something that takesplace in a car. So you know,
(05:50):
there's an impressive set of rigs thatyou can have on cars. You
know that that is some of themost interesting part of being on a set
and filming in it. But youknow, every scene takes place in takes
place somewhere, So if it's ina car, that's fine. I wouldn't
(06:11):
say it presents a different kind ofchallenge. It's just it's just the place
you're in that day, Okay,And you know as you're reading the script,
I mean, I know watching itboth times that I'm like on the
edge of my seat. You know, are you drawn to that as well?
So? And what I mean bythat is like, do you see
(06:32):
it as you're reading? Are youreading it like with like fresh eyes or
are you reading it as an actor? In other words, can you enjoy
like how I get like that edgeof your street, like oh I can't
wait till the next you know,the next part? Or are you seeing
it more methodically as you read it? No? I think I think this
(06:54):
one, especially read as an incrediblyenjoyable and compelling and edge of the seat
kind of ride. You know.I think the stories, the story in
it is strong, and it's alot of fun. It was fun to
read and it's fun to watch.And I think that that came through you
know. I mean, when Iread a script, I'm I'm sure the
character that I'm playing is incredibly important. The director is incredibly important, but
(07:17):
the story is important too, Likeyou want to make something that that people
are going to see and people aregoing to enjoy for whatever reason. And
the reasons people are going to enjoythis, you know, they came through
crystal clear from the first read.When you're done rapping, you know,
obviously, oftentimes there's promo tours andyou know, you're doing all kinds of
(07:41):
interviews and premieres and that sort ofthing. Did you ever think, you
know, when when you wrap thisand originally like okay, like in other
words, when you were done withthat chapter and you move gone to the
next project, did you ever think, Okay, this could take on a
(08:05):
whole new life at another time.Or are you just kind of you're done
that part of your work, thatpart of your h you know, journey
as an actor and I'm on seventeenother different projects at this point, you
know, or like, was ita surprise for you when you when you
got the call that, oh,this is getting a whole new life now.
(08:26):
I was surprised when I found outthat it was gonna like be on
Hulu. I think it's exciting.I think it's cool. But yeah,
we made it in twenty nineteen,you know, and it was it was
on Quibi, which no one reallyknew what was going to happen to Quibi.
I think one of the questions alot of people had, which I
think was a smart question to haveat the time, was well, if
(08:48):
Quibi doesn't work, what's going tohappen to all this content? You know?
And because they had like a billiondollars or something. I mean,
they were making a ton of stuff, and I'm sure there's still a ton
of stuff out there that you know, could have a second life. I
think I think we're at a timein our business where like I'm all about
(09:11):
creating like new content, Like let'smake new stories like in this post strike
world, Like it feels like thingsare slow to get going. So I
understand why you would want to likehave material that's already been made and can
be re released as a movie.And that's cool and exciting. But I'm
all about creating new content. Youknow. But that question back then and
(09:35):
when we made it in twenty nineteen, like that question of what's going to
happen to all this stuff if Quibidoesn't work? It's a it is a
question we all had, and I'msuper excited for Vin know that that this
one's getting another go out. Yeah, it's so. It's so you know,
when I originally I worked with withQuibi, when when they launched to
(09:58):
you know, hype it up andtalk about it, and I loved the
content and actually this was one ofthe ones that I was really drawn to,
uh, you know, with thelaunch of Quibi because it's just such
a compelling project and I loved it, and you know, and I love
it and it's such an edge ofyour seat and it's so twisty and layered
and there's just so much good stuffto it that when I saw that,
(10:22):
you know, Venus, that thisproject was coming to Hulu, I was
just like, that is so coolbecause, as you said, you know,
now it gets a wider release,more opportunity for more people to see
such a cool project. You know, yeah, totally, I'm stoked about
it, you know, I knowit's it's Vina has never lost her passion
(10:43):
for it. She's always tried tokeep it going after Quibi went away.
I know it's been to like horrorfilm festivals and I think it had like
it may have been on like TVor something. So it's something that she's
still passionate about, she still believesin, and it was her passionate about
the project that was like most appealingabout it to me from the start.
So you know, I hope Ihope billions of people watch it, you
(11:07):
know, I hope people love it. I hope people fall in love with
it all over again. I meanthat would be like a wild scenario.
That's something I made like five orsix years ago. All of a sudden
people are watching and it's like,I it hasn't been a part of my
life for so long, but like, sure have at it, you know,
go watch it? Yeah real,yeah, absolutely. It reminds me
(11:28):
when I was a kid of youknow, a lot of these movies would
find maybe they got crowded out atthe box office, but then like when
the DVD or the Blu ray hitor whatever, it would find like this
whole new life, you know,And it kind of reminds me of that,
like, you know, another versionof that where you know, Quibi
didn't necessarily as a as a wholework. I love the idea, but
(11:54):
but now you have a project likethis that's so great that can find a
whole new audience, and and itreally reminds me of that like kind of
exciting time where no art really everdies, you know what I mean.
Yeah? I hope so, man, Yeah, I hope people just like
gobble it up, you know.Dane, thank you so much for speaking
(12:15):
with me. I can't wait foreverybody to see The Stranger exclusively now on
Hulu. Thanks for speaking with meagain. Thanks man, of course,
Dandy Hahn. It's always great talkingwith Dane. He's such a talented actor.
I love how he puts himself intohis roles. He's so intense and
(12:35):
just a really, really great guyas well. So thanks Dane once again
for chatting with me. And TheStranger is available right now on Hulu.
Make sure you watch it and hitme up on socials let me know what
you think. We're gonna take asixty second break to pay the bills,

(12:56):
for allowing us to pay the bills. Our sponsors allow us to continue to
bring you great content each and everyepisode, and we can't thank them enough.
And I can't thank you enough forhanging out with me as always,
you guys are the best. Soup next The Big Door Prize on Apple
TV Plus, which if you haven'tseen the first season, I highly highly
(13:20):
recommend it. It's based on thebook The Big Door Prize and it's got
a pretty kind of interesting premise whereit revolves around this grocery store of a
small town where this kind of machinejust magically appears and it seems to be
able to predict the life potential ofthose who use the machine. Chris O'Dowd
(13:41):
stars as Dusty. He is amazingand everything he does, including Bride'smaids and
the clover Field Paradox Miss Peregrine's Homefor Peculiar Children. He is a Emmy
Award winner for his role in Stateof the Union and so I'm excited to
talk to him once again. Upfirst, we talked with David west Reid,
(14:03):
who is the executive producer and hedeveloped the Big Door Prize for the
television screen. David was the executiveproducer on Shit's Creek, which is an
amazing series if you haven't watched that, and he won an Emmy Award for
it for Outstanding Comedy Series. Solet's talk with David about the Big Door
(14:24):
Prize. Here he is David WestEd. Thank you so much for joining me.
David, I really appreciate it.Thank you so. First of all,
congratulations on season two. I havereally enjoyed it. What was it
like for you? You know,got the second season go knowing that you
could expand the story. Yeah,that was a really fun opportunity because obviously
(14:50):
the series is based on a bookby M. O. Walsh. But
the book has this ending, andour series could not have an ending season
one, so we had to reallyopen it up and go off roading with
the story and find what was thenext stage for all of these characters and
also the next stage for this mysteriousmachine. And how did you and you
(15:13):
know, I was thinking as Iwas putting, I was thinking, as
you know, the cast that andyourself that I'm interviewing today, how do
I do this without being, youknow, with being completely spoiler free?
So I know that as I tryto talk to you with this bouncing over
bombs, you know, how didyou decide, you know, staying true
(15:37):
to the original source work, howdid you expand it in the spirit of,
you know, the work, butleading it in ways that it didn't
go in right? Well, weknew that, you know. What was
so great about the original book isthis core concept of people in a small
town being confronted by the idea oftheir potential or their destiny, by this
(16:00):
machine that gives them cards that tellsthem, if everything went right with your
brain and your body, this iswhat you could become. So we wanted
to continue to ask those questions,what does it mean to be happy?
What does it mean to achieve yourpotential? But obviously we didn't want to
just have more cards that would feelvery flat, and we wanted to escalate
(16:21):
things and really make the second seasoneven more exciting than the first. So
that's where we came up with thisidea that the machine would go to this
next level that would give people thesevisions without giving too much away, that
tell them something about their lives andthemselves and who they are and who they
could be that are a little lessclearer than the first season, and that
(16:44):
not everyone necessarily likes what they seeand it sends them spiraling in different directions,
which is where we get not onlyour drama, but a lot of
the comedy in the second season.And for you, if you had your
own more faux machine, I'm sureyou get that ask this a lot.
Would you want to know and wouldyou do anything with that info or would
(17:04):
you stay away from it? Whatwould you do? I think I might
resist for a while like Dusty,and I probably would find it just irresistible
eventually, because even if you thinkyou are happy and doing what you should
be doing and having fun as Iam, the idea of what is that
(17:25):
other path that might have been imaginedfor me, or if I had taken
a different turn? Is something thatI think everyone is drawn to. Yeah,
yeah, I don't think I'd beable to resist at some point.
Thank you so much. Congratulations onseason two. It's such a great show.
And thanks for speaking with me.David. Thank you. It's a
pleasure. David West read awesome guy, extremely talented. I love Shit's Creek
(17:49):
and I love the Big Door Prizeas well, and I think you will
too. Season two really, ashe mentioned, has to deviate from the
book because you know, the bookended, and I love what he's done
with those deviations. I think youwill too. All right, up next,
let's talk with Gabrielle Dennis and AliMackie. How are you both?
(18:11):
Thank you both so much for joiningme. I appreciate it. Hi,
I'm doing well. Thank you.Congratulations on season two. I love the
show and I can't wait for everybodyto see it. What was it like
for you both? You know,season two, and this is hard because
I'm trying to be as spoiler freeas possible, but season two diverse.
(18:33):
You know, the source material isessentially finished in certain ways. Season two
was kind of new territory. Whatis it like as actors to kind of
venture into new territory like that?Oh, it's always fun to play in
new sandbox. I think what's greatis although we pick up exactly where we
(18:56):
left off in season one at thetop of season two, the journey all
of us get to take is different. We get to play with different individual
actors and different scenarios and relationships anddynamics. So it's really fun just exploring
those those different, you know,different avenues, right. I think from
my character, it's always been newsource material in a sense, because I
(19:19):
think I was almost deliberately but alsoworking with Dave trying to discover as the
character discovers, and there's a lotI still don't know about Hannah, so
it's always been fun to kind ofpeel back her layers and be like,
what's happening? Wait, what thisis? What's going on with her?
So it's very fun. It's alwaysbeen such an exploration, do you as
(19:41):
you know, as a non actor, as a viewer, I would imagine,
you know, as I'm watching it, I'm kind of loving every new
kind of twist and turn and thatsort of thing. As an actor as
you're reading the script, do youget that same excitement or are you like
hyper focused on your role or howdoes that work? Well? Yeah,
(20:04):
for me, I tried, Especiallyif I'm a fan of something and I
like to watch it as a viewer, I try to honestly avoid as much
as I can because it's such atreat. Like when I watched season two,
it was like, oh, likeI can actually enjoy it as a
viewer and like not either just don'tremember it from a table read or just
wasn't their present in the presence ofit being filmed to like really be dialed
(20:27):
into it. But like, andeven the stuff with myself, like by
the time you add music and youadd lighting and the way they edit things,
it feels different than just you know, the three D version of us
being on set and like doing ourwork. It is such a beautiful thing
to see the culmination of all thepieces come together because everyone's role is so
important, you know, sound,color, correction, you know everything.
(20:49):
Yeah, everything comes together at theend of the day. And I think
that is what I think as audiences. I think as an actor, maybe
I wouldn't have I know that now, but I think as a viewer,
I probably wouldn't compute like how importantall these little elements helped tell the story,
you know what I mean? Andso for me it's exciting. Yeah,
I think it just really speaks toDave's world building. He's so amazing
(21:11):
at creating these rich, beautiful characters. And I think we're all fans of
each other. And I remember atthe end of season one, after the
table read, so many of thecasts were like, we had no idea
that Hannah had anything to do,and I loved, you know, kind
of keeping that secret. And Iknow Dave did too of just like that
reveal. I think even you werelike, wait, yeah, I think
(21:33):
we're all fans of each other's charactersof what's going on in their world.
I love that. And finally,if you had a morpho machine, what
do you think it would reveal abouteach of you? What I think?
Oh gosh, I think I'm crazy. I think that for me, like
(21:56):
I just would want something to endof the day watching the show. What's
printed on the card is one thing, and it may not be like an
exact, you know, interpretation ofthe word. So for me, it's
really the ultimate journey of where itlands. You right, and for me,
I would want that. I wouldwant to just feel fulfilled and happy
at the end of that role,whatever that is. And I would hope
(22:17):
my journey, my vision wouldn't beas dark as my characters this season,
like because you know, this season, instead of just the car, we're
also getting these visions from the MorphoMachine, so Cassle is pretty interesting.
But I would hope even if itwas a dark, crazy, weird,
you know vision, that ultimately Iwould be smart enough and passionate enough and
(22:37):
adventurous enough to go on the journeyto figure it out. Yeah. I
think maybe i'd be like Hannah andjust not have a card. I'd be
like, I opt out of thisexperiment for now. I love that.
Thank you both so much. Ican't wait for everybody to see season two
exclusively on Apple TV Plus. Thanks, Thank you bye. Have a great
(23:02):
day you Gabrielle Dennis and Allie Mackey. They're so great in the Big Door
Prize and I can't wait for youto see it again. Once you watch
it, hit me up on socials, Let's talk about it, Reddit,
Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, whereverit is you are, I am too.
(23:22):
Just find me all right, lastbut not least Josh Sigara and Chris
Doubt. Of course, I alreadygave Chris his intro earlier in the show.
Josh Sigara, if you don't know, originated the role of Melio Estefan
in the Broadway show On Your Feet, which of course was based on the
(23:44):
lives of music of twenty six timeGrammy Award winning husband and wife team Gloria
and Emilio Estefan. Of course I'veinterviewed Gloria a couple of times here on
this show. Josh also played Dannyin Scream six. He was amazing in
Thatanovic and Orange is the New Black. He was Pug Augustus Pug Pug Leezy
in Sheehall Attorney at Law, andof course he's Giorgio in The Big Door
(24:10):
Prize. So let's talk with JoshSagea and Chris O'Dell. Josh and Chris,
thank you so much for joining me. Appreciate it, like for having
us. Of course, First ofall, congratulations on season two. I
love it, and it takes theseries in exciting new directions. And I'm
trying to be this as hard becauseI'm trying to be as spoiler free as
(24:33):
possible. Don't tell him about yourEarth quick, Josh. For both of
you. You know, what isit like when you have amazing source material?
Season one was incredible? How doesit feel as an actor when you're
kind of going into uncharted waters?In some ways, it's exciting. That's
(24:55):
one of the best things about whatwe get to do is reading those scripts,
getting that email that says your nameand tells you what title of the
episode it is, and you justfly through it. You start getting some
questions answered. And that's what's beenso good about season two is that we
left some big questions unanswered at theend of season one. So season two,
I think you're starting to get someof those things that we were all
(25:17):
yearning for. Are you kidding me? I was sitting there with Dave and
with Sarah just being like, whatdo the blue dots mean? You know?
And how about for you, Chris? I mean, it's always fun
sitting down to read the new episodesbecause we don't really know what's going to
happen, and it's kind of interesting. It's obviously you're curious as to what
(25:40):
you're going to do yourself, butalso what all of these are the characters
is going to be ash because it'sso much kind of mystery in the show,
increasingly in terms of where did thisthing come from? Is there an
end thing here? And we findout more from the Morphol Machine in season
two. It gives us another littleinsights into our potential futures through this vision,
(26:00):
and it's kind of fun watching thatplayout. If you had a Morpha
machine, you know, and I'vethought about this a lot, I'm sure
both of you have as well.If you had your own Morphaux machine,
would you would you want to know? Would you would you go to it?
Hell? Yeah, he absolutely.I wonder what I feel like.
(26:26):
I will add a caveat though.I just hope that it doesn't make me
nervous. I hope it only solidifieswhere I'd want to go. You know,
like if I got like theme parkdesigner, I'd be stoked about that.
I grew up in Orlando. Ilove theme parks. I love smelling
(26:47):
the churros getting cooked. I likeseeing the way they designed the line structure
on the way to the roller coaster. Are you kidding me? I'd be
stoked if I knew that. Andhow about for you, Chris, I
would say chocolate machine maintenance man.I want to see it fits on the
card right, always curious as tohow low they can go with the font.
(27:12):
Absolutely, and also I feel likeyou're being around. I've got the
lot of will you Wanka fantasies andI'd like to see them play out.
I you know, I did thatthing that you do in high school,
like the career aptitude thing, andit said that I would either be janitorial
(27:33):
services or a clergy, which Ithink is really interesting and completely off the
mark from what I do. Butthat's nothing like you know, a morpho
machine. But I you know,I find it interesting to that both of
you are your choices, you know, your hopeful choices are both in the
(27:55):
creative kind of fields. You know, a theme park designer and you know,
working with like a chocolate fountain machinemachine maintenance man. Yeah, I
mean there's an art to that thoughthere's also delicious you know food like I'll
be your tester if you need.But thank you both very much. Congrats
(28:15):
on season two and I can't waitfor everybody to see it. Thank you
very much. Josh Shagara and Chrisso Dowd love those guys. Love the
Big Door Prize season two, whichis out right now on Apple tv Plus.
