Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Johnny is now is acting legend Steven Baldwin to talk
about this year super fun event, Washington State Summer Con.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hi, Stephen, welcome, Hey.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
How are you today? Thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Do I understand correctly? This is your first time?

Speaker 3 (00:12):
This will be my first time at Summer Con. Super
fired up, just because I mean, Seattle's gnarly, it's awesome.
You know, I come from skate culture and as a kid,
and you know, Washington's just big in skate culture, so
I just love it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Right over by the Space Needle, there's a big park
that you could go to.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I don't know if you you know, if you're still
doing it.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Well, I roll around a little bit, but you know,
my crazy days, you know, I got a chill now.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
So what prompted you to make the decision to do
summer Con. Was it that your buddy and co star
poly Shore is going to be there? Or is this
just a fun opportunity to meet fans and stuff?

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Stara, I don't know if you realize you're getting quite
a scooped here today. This is the first Biodome reunion,
so to speak, because it'll be the first time Pauline
and I ever sat down together for Biodome purposes. Wow,
profession Like since the movie, Paul and I fuck kind of,
you know, regularly checking up on one another. He's nuts
and I'm trying not to be nuts. And you know,

(01:09):
he committed to coming up to Washington Summer con and
and to doing like a joint kind of Biodome signing.
We're gonna be taking pictures, signing stuff, saying hi to people,
and it's just gonna be fun because the Biodome fans
are really the coolest. It's just a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Biodome is a classic, hilarious movie. But did you have
reservations about making it?

Speaker 3 (01:29):
I called my brother Alec. I said, hey, man, look,
you know I met these guys. I met some other
producers you know by you know, usual suspects. You know,
it's really kind of ratcheted some stuff up here for me,
some opportunities. But I gotta tell you, man, I'm a
big thing. I'm PAULI sure, and you know this, I
really think together the character I could come up with
like a dumb and dumber kind of me, and I

(01:50):
think it could really be something cool and it could work.
My brother's response was exactly this. He said, let me
understand this correctly. I said, yes, he goes, it's you
and Paul I said, right, he goes trapped in a biosphere.
I said, yes, correct, right, it's a comedy and he goes.
I think that could be perhaps the most career ending

(02:10):
decision you could possibly make.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Wo And boy was he wrong.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yes, Biodome is really kind of one of the fullest,
most unique coat classic classics. You know, it's just lived
on digitally, and we love those fans. These comic cons
are great. Washington's going to be great. Some Macon's gonna
be awesome.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Stephen Bowin, actor and now podcaster. One Bad Movie found
on the Free iHeartRadio app, is this talking to actors
about that they're bad movies, the movies that didn't.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Do well kaya sorta. It's called one Bad Movie, and
it's basically me interviewing actors and at some point in
the interview, usually towards the front end, I just simply ask,
what's your one bad movie, which should be, you know,
for any actor, something that was a bad experience, a
movie that didn't turn out the way they expected. They

(03:02):
got food poisoning, you know, like Michael Mattson gave us
a mind boggling interview. My brother Alex told some very
fun stories.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Fun look at you, mister big movie star.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, I'm just a podcaster now. I'm not trying to
do some try some kind of Hollywood fancy pants.

Washington State Summer Con this weekend Friday through Sunday down
