Speaker 5 (01:03):
Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome to the Jimmy Star Show
with Ron Russell, bringing you the good times of music, fashion,
pop culture and entertainment. We got a really great show
for you guys today. To start off, let me tell
you that Ron is not going to be here today
or next week. He has some appointments that we couldn't
get changed and the only day he could go see
him is on Wednesday, so it messed everything up. So
he will be back in two weeks, but he's not

(01:25):
going to be on the show today or next week.
We just got back from vacation. We had a great time.
We were in New York and Pennsylvania. We saw his daughter, Dietre,
we saw his friends from growing up. So we had
a nice relaxing time and we came back and hit
the road running because we got all kinds of stuff
going on. So first, let me say hi to the
chat room. It's starting to fill in. Steffon Bell is

(01:47):
in there. Hey, Steffon Bell. He's been working on our website,
Jimmy Starsworld dot com. Cindy Ladylake is in there. She's
always fabulous and we're doing a bunch of projects with her.
We have two great guests today. Russell Todd is coming
on the show and then Bill d. Russell is coming
back on the show. He was on at the beginning
of the year, I believe, and they're both pretty iconic

(02:07):
in horror. But Russell Todd has also been in some
great things that we're going to talk about when he
comes on in a few minutes. I think you guys
will like it. And thanks for everybody saying looking good.
I've got like pink shirt on. I like my pink shirts.
So we went we went to New York and I
had a bunch of really nice shirts, and then a

(02:28):
bunch of T shirts packed and I took the When
we went to to Ron's daughter's house, we took the
T shirts and everything, and I kept him in the
suitcase and I hung up the shirts, and then we
left and went to New York, and I forgot to
get the hung up shirts, so I didn't have a
shirt to wear the whole time. I had to wear
T shirts the whole time we were gone. That's mostly
why you don't see any pictures because I didn't take any.
And then we went back to her house on the

(02:50):
way home, and I picked him up before we got
on the plane coming back. We had a terrible, terrible,
terrible flight back. The airline change gates four times. We
had to change gates four times, and the plane left
like four hours late. So we were supposed to get
home at like six o'clock at night. Instead we got
home at midnight, so it was a totally miserable time
and we were definitely happy to be home. So let

(03:15):
me pop this up. So I got a lot of
cool things going on, you guys. As you guys know,
I wrote the book Pop Goes to Collector and starting
to do really well, I appreciate everybody who's bought a
copy or downloaded it on Kindle. It's also free on
Kendle if you have the Kendle app or a member
or whatever. I don't know exactly how that works, but
I decided that I used to be an author, and
I used to do a whole bunch of books back

(03:36):
in the day, and I thought, I'm going to reissue
a bunch of those books and do a bunch of
new ones. So I've published a bunch of short stories
on Amazon, and the first series is all about the
Ashcroft School, and the first two books are definitely out.
The first one is called Eldrick Thorn Warlock for the Ages,

(03:57):
and the second one is called Ashcroft's Secret Circle, and
it's a Warlock like a high school warlock movie, takes
place in New York City. It's going to be a
movie eventually, because I'm going to turn all the books
into movies, hopefully eventually. But check it out. And the
third part of the series, which concludes, will be up
for sale tomorrow. I believe it's up there already, we're
just waiting for Amazon to approve it. And then I

(04:18):
did two other so this all came about also because
these are newer short stories that I wrote in the
last couple of weeks. Is because I watched the movie
The Covenant. I was an extra and it's one of
my favorite like movies, and it's a cheesy, cheesy teenage
witch movie, but I love it. So I did some
other short stories that are also in that whole, like
Warlock Vein. One is called The Trinity Pact and the

(04:41):
other one is called The Dark Packed and there are
a lot of fun and so I've got four books
up there, with the fifth one getting ready to go
up today that I will complete the Ashcroft series and
then we're doing a new one after that, and it's
called Silver Spies and it's about three spies all in
their seventies, kind of like that are like James b
and Out saving the world. And we've created three covers

(05:03):
for it, and I've got three stories I'm working on
for that, so that should go up in the next
week or so too. So it's a lot of fun,
lots of fun things going on, so please support if
you can. I also want to tell everybody to check

How are you good?

Speaker 6 (11:57):
Good to see it?

Speaker 5 (11:58):
Good to see you too. All right, as you noticed,
there's only one of us here. It says Jimmy Starner's
Show and Ron Russell, because it's the Jimmy Stars Show
with Ron Russell. But we just got back from vacation
and my husband's a little older and he has some
appointments he had to go to and the doctors will
only see him on Wednesdays, so he got screwed out
of this weekend next week, so you just got me.
But but it's okay because you're gonna have a good time.

(12:21):
So let's do a proper introduction everybody. Now we want
to welcome to the Jimmy Stars Show with Ron Russell,
totally badass actor Russell Todd. Hello, Hey to the show.

Speaker 6 (12:30):
Thank you, it's good to be here. I appreciate you
asking me to be on your show.

Speaker 5 (12:34):
No, it's fun. So you have a great resume. First,
real quick, say hi to the chat room because chatroom
is starting to fill up. Yeah, people see pub just
got here. Hub is cool. So so I've been actually
a fan of yours for a long time and we
have and we've had a ton of people that you've
worked with on the show, that you've actually been in

(12:54):
films with and TV shows and stuff with. We've had
tons of them on our show, which will go over
some of them when we go get going. But you
guys can follow Russell on Instagram. He's Russell Todd La.
So I'm going to assume you live in La I do.

Speaker 12 (13:07):
I've been out here since nineteen eighty three, although I
went back in the early nineties to New York to
do a soap opera.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
Which soap opera did you do?

Speaker 12 (13:14):
I was Doctor Jamie Frame on NBC score show Another World.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Another World. That's one I didn't watch. So my mom
was a big Young and the Restless and As the
World Turns fan, so I always watched those. And I'm
really good friends with Sean Kanaan and let's see Sean
Kanan and Ron Moss minus stuff and sold Beautiful Beautiful,
And I think you did a little bit on Bold
and the Beautiful, didn't you?

Speaker 6 (13:39):
Or no, I did very briefly. I was like a
red herring.

Speaker 12 (13:41):
They brought me on for people to think I was
this villain I guess, but it wasn't. But I was
also at CBS because for a while I replaced someone
on Capitol for six months, and then when Don Diamont
was out for Young and the Restless, they brought me in.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
I think it was about eight months to play his character.

Speaker 12 (13:58):
I forget the character's name, but he was like one
of the most popular actors on the show, and it
was very interesting to play the character because I would
leave the studio. People go, we want Ron. I'm not wrong,
we want Don back.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
And I said, we don't. I'm just replacing him for
a little while.

Speaker 12 (14:13):
But it was interesting how the fans reacted to one
of their favorite characters being replaced for a bit.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
I think, first of all, I love soapies. We call
him Sophie's I live in Palm Springs. All the soapies
live here, nice so like we were friends with Tristan Rogers,
rest in peace. He just recently passed away. Sean Canaan
has a house here.

Speaker 13 (14:32):
I know.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
There's a whole bunch of them and like so we
see them pretty regularly and they've all been on the show,
so on the book.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
Just to give me huh, Michael Korbett's out there.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yes, I've met him. He's actually one I don't know.
I met him. I met him at a Sean Canan
book signing, but I don't actually know him. But here's
the different people from the Bolden the Beautle that have
been on the show that we're friendly with. Ron Moss,
Bobby Ekes, Sean Kanan, Jacob Young, Ian Buchanan, Sean Whalen,
Patrika Darbo, Barbara Crampton, who I know you've done a
bunch of stuff with. Antonio Sabati Junior and Kyle Louder

(15:01):
have all been guests on the show, and many of
them have been to my house for dinner and stuff
because we entertained a lot and when they're in town.
So it's a lot of fun. And I love the soapies.
Our very first soap opera star that we ever had
was Michael Damien. Oh sure, And we had Michael Damien
and we got a really big like millions of people
watch the show. And then like a year or two later,

(15:23):
Michael Damien came back to Young and the Rest us
and we actually got contacted by CBS, and CBS asked
us to have him on again because they got so
much of a great response from so I love all
the soapies, even though in my old age I don't
get to watch them. But when I was in college,
I skipped school every day to see General Hospital.

Speaker 12 (15:42):
I hear that so often that you know, people that
come up to me or write me, they say, you know,
they started in college. A lot of them say I
watched them with my grandmother. Also they say that, and
soap fans, like horror fans, are incredibly devoted. They just,
you know, they especially so focus. We're in their homes
fifty two weeks a year, and they feel like they

(16:03):
know you not only as your character, but as the individual,
as the actor. And they do to a great extent, because,
like I said, we're in their homes fifty two weeks
a year.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
We had this thing. So I'm I live in California now,
but I was born and raised in Florida, and I
lived and I went to this thing. It used to
be a celebrity clothing designer. I used to make one
of a clid clothes and I had three stores in
South Florida and Elton. John shop there Madonna, like everybody
shop there because my shit was really cool. But I
love the soapies, and so I've got invited to Super
Soap Weekend and dressed Stephen Martinez, which I think I

(16:36):
don't know if he still goes by that name. He
has a bunch of different names, but he was on
General Hospital for like a long time. I think it
was like Nicholas Casadine or anyway. Anyway, really cool guy.
Still keep in touch with him. He's a pickle like
a professional pickleball player.

Speaker 6 (16:48):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
But I dressed him Florida and I had the best time,
like there, you know, meeting all the soap opera stars.
I've been fortunate that I don't ever have to go
to the I don't remember go to any of those
events like as as a paying guest. I'm usually just friends.
I'm friends with everybody, so I get to go in.
I go in as media, you know. And so that's
how I actually built this whole show. I would go

(17:11):
to comic cons for conventions and take tons of clothes
and take them to my room, and then I would
meet the people and say, hey, I make cool clothes.
You know, if you wear them, you can have them.
And that's how I became friends with like Malcolm Malcolm
McDowell and Doug Bradley and Pinhead, Cive Barker, Lance Hendrickson,
and that's how I got them all on the show.

(17:32):
So in the first year of this show, I had
all these super famous, you know people on it. Everybody
was like, we're eighteen years old, by the way for
you and they were People would be like, how did
you get like all these like people? And that's basically
how I did it. I would give away free clothes
at the conventions, become friendly with the people, and then
just ask them on the show and they all would
be like, yeah, you know, let's come on the show.

(17:53):
So so I'm actually and in your movies because I'm
pretty good friends with several people that have been in
some of your movies. But before I talk about the
horror movies, because we have a huge horror audience, and
I even have a podcast, the Dark Fright Horror News Podcast,
which I'm gonna put your movies and them now that
you've been on.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
But where the.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Boys are, Yes, Alan Carr, it's a great movie. So
yours is the remake of the sixties movie right exactly.

Speaker 12 (18:18):
And I played the Tim Jim Huddon, Tim's dad, the
Jim Huddon role.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
The four girls picked me up hitch hiking on the
way to have some.

Speaker 12 (18:26):
Fun in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and then all you know
the high jinks and everything that ensues there. And and
I played up so Lisa Hartman in that, but of
course Wendy Shawl was in it, Lynn Holly Johnson, Laurna Lufty.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
So my history. My husband used to have a show
called Set the Record Straight, and so he actually has
interviewed Laurena Leuft for that, and I was kind of
like he would have enjoyed this. But we've actually had
Christopher McDonald was on and he's been on our show.
And I lived in Fort Lauderdale literally for until I
was fifty. I moved here when I moved out out

(19:02):
of Florida when I was fifty. No, I moved to
Pennsylvania for a few years, and now I've been in
Pump Springs for six years. But I loved Florida. It
was a great place to be. It was great for business.
It wasn't great for the movie business so much. But
I was an extra in every movie that's ever been
made though in Florida, Like literally, I've been in all
of them because I used to go to them. That's

(19:24):
how I would meet people. Yeah, I've been on all
the TV series too, like Blades and.

Speaker 6 (19:29):
The one, uh Miami Vice.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Yeah, I was on Miami Vice and I was I
did on all them. You know. I only went to
those to be an extra. And I used to because
I did a lot of independent film. You know, everybody
who's an extra is a filmmaker or a is somebody
trying to make it in the business. So I got
cast in a bunch of like indie, crappy films, you know,
just from that. But then I decided in my older
age that I really suck as an actor. I produced

(19:54):
a lot of films and I'm genius at that. And
there's more money in it unless you're a name like you. You know,
everybody else gets paid peanuts, and so I think it's better,
it's better, you know, to produce. So I have like
eight films that I'm in the middle of producing right now.
It has you on my show. I'm going to put
you on my list of people that I know when
people are looking for casting, because everybody comes to me.

Speaker 6 (20:15):
That's wonderful.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
So I like love it. So do you like horror movies?

Speaker 12 (20:19):
Because you've been some podcasts I've done, you know, He
Knows You're Alone the first one, and then Friday's Thirteen
Part two and then Chopping Mall.

Speaker 6 (20:28):
Actually I've only done three. Well, I shouldn't say that.

Speaker 12 (20:30):
That was in my first career and then I took
many years off to be an agent. I represented Steadycam
Operators for twenty five years.

Speaker 6 (20:38):
Oh wow, Yeah, and now I'm back and know that.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Yeah, because you did Stiletto. You did Stiletto.

Speaker 6 (20:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (20:44):
Another horror picture that's coming out in January, and it's
going to be have a wide release. And it's a
terrific film directed by Samuel Gonzeliz Junior and stars Gigi Gustin,
Colleen Camp, Stephen Blakehart, and I play the mysterious bad guy.
And I think it's it's a terrific part and I'm
very proud of it.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
I love it. Gigi's been on our show because she
does a lot of Marcel Wallt's films, so she has
ourselves a very good friend of ours, and so we
whenever he comes out with the movie, we usually have
the whole cast come on and we do like the
cast show.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
Because they just released Brute nineteen seventy six.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
Yeah, so I went to the premiere for that one,
and I got invited to the premiere for if It,
I mean for Stiletto too. I didn't go to it
because I have had four knee surgery, two knee surgeries
this year and two knee replacements, and so so literally
we haven't gone. We're hoping to start going again in
October because we have a cheesy movie called clown Motel

(21:41):
three that I produced. It's called Three Ways to Helen.
My husband Ron plays one of the main characters in it.
So we're hopefully going to go to that in October.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
And then the other one you mentioned, kind of If
It Bleeds.

Speaker 12 (21:52):
I just saw the screening of that that Matthew Hirsch produced,
I think produced and directed, but that not directed I
think so director.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
Yes, he did direct that one too.

Speaker 12 (22:02):
But that's hopefully we'll be coming out the end of
this year at the beginning of next year.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
Great cast. Yeah, actually with this cast. So Sarah Nicholin's
been on our show, Adam Boucci Gg's been on the show,
and Doug Jones has been on the show.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
Yeah, Oh that's great.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
Has been ready to come on the show. She just
gave me an email to set up a date. So
you have Doug, Joe's Bonnie Aarons, who's the nun, nice
Leo Thomas, Catherine Corcoran who's also in. Yes, Kersey Fox
from Tara's.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
Actually amazing, She's terrific. She's in If It Bleeds?

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Also, how do you pronounce her name? Is it Kursey?

Speaker 6 (22:38):
Chrissy Chris christ is Christy?

Speaker 5 (22:40):
Okay, just spells it weird?

Speaker 6 (22:41):
Okay, Well, you know Doug. Doug and I are friends
and he is in If It Bleeds.

Speaker 12 (22:47):
But we're it's it's an anthology and there are three
different different segments and we're in different segments. We've always
wanted to work together, so we're actually in the same film,
but we're not. We never worked together actually, so we're
hoping one day that someone casts us together in a picture.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Oh, I hope, So that would be. He's a very
nice guy.

Speaker 6 (23:05):
He's a terrific person.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
He's done such huge movies, you know. But one of
my favorites is hocus Pocus because I think hocus Pocus
is such a fun thing. I have a billy head.
I collect the action figures. That's great, people who've been
on the show, and and well, I just collect the
action figures in general. Like I don't have a retirement
fun but like I have a huge I mean huge,
like thousands of you know, six foot animatronics and all

(23:30):
kinds of stuff. And I and I have a new
movie I'm working on that you might work out for.
And it's called The Legend of Bunny Man. And and
I've already had toys made, you know, for it, you know,
even though I don't have the funding yet. But I'm
working on it. But I will get the funding.

Speaker 6 (23:44):
You made the toys before making the.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
Made the fun toys before I made the movie, Yeah,
because I like toys and I like to have them.
And they'll be prototypes, you know, because I'll make them
better as I go along. Right, So let's talk a
little bit about Friday the Thirteenth, Part two. Five years
after the events of the first film, A summer camp
next to the infamous Camp Crystal Lake is preparing to open,
but the legend of Jason is weighing heavy on the proceedings.

(24:07):
Amy Steele, John Fury, Adrian Kings who's been on the show.
Steve dash was actually a really good friend of mine
because he lived in Florida and we used to do
stuff together all the time. Warrington Gillette who was on
our show this year, Stuart Charno, Kirsten Baker, Betsy Palmer
who's also on our show like many, many many years ago.
So how was it, because it's such an iconic series,

(24:28):
how was that for you to be in? You know,
really basically one of the most iconic series you know
ever We've had Sean Cunningham on the show.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
Yeah, well, we just to show you how big this is.

Speaker 12 (24:39):
We just had I think it was the biggest convention
ever for Friday the thirteenth. It was held in Los
Angeles and people came in from all over the country
and it was represented by actors and people like I
think Sean Cunningham was there and Beeanie Menfreeni whatever, I
forget his name for Deini Man just the music he
was there and actors may seventy to eighty actors from

(25:01):
all the projects.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
Yeah, that was Tommy Brunswick, Tommy Brunswick's show.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
Oh is it really okay?

Speaker 5 (25:08):
She goes on all the time.

Speaker 12 (25:10):
Yeah, it was fantastic. But you know, when we did
I was in Part two. But when we did Part two,
I had seen Part one and I thought it was
a terrific movie and it scared me like everyone else,
And it was a thrill to know there was a
sequel and I'd be part of it. But when you're
doing it, you know, Jet the franchise had just begun.
You had no idea it would have any legs, and
no idea that it would continue for so many you know,

(25:31):
segment sequels. So you make the movie and you kind
of move on, and some of us stayed in touch
and everything, but you move on to the next project
and you really don't think about it.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
It was.

Speaker 12 (25:40):
It wasn't until years later that it really started, you know,
having tremendous following, and then we realized, you know, we
were part of something very special.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
So maybe like fifteen or twenty years ago, Spencer's Gift
came out with like a seven foot tall mechanical Jason
and I actually have it, you really, yeah, you know,
And we've had every I think we've had every person
who's played Jason on our show, every single one of them,
even even the fan films. We've had the fan film
Jason's on our show too. I'm pretty good friends with

(26:12):
Kane Hunter, and I don't know every everybody who's been
on it because it's one of my more favorite franchises
and and I think just to be a part of it,
I mean, you can probably go sign in autographs all
the time. Just from that.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
We do a lot of conventions, which is great.

Speaker 12 (26:23):
People love to see the actors from the show, and
it's nice. You know, they bring the poster mostly to
get signed, and maybe they're coming from the opposite coast
and they have all the actors that live on that coast,
and then sometimes you know, I'm the only one left
they have to catch on this coast, or Amy Steele
or John Fury on this coast. So it's quite a
hoote and it's wonderful to meet the fans at these conventions.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
It makes oh yeah, it's super fun. And I guess
so it's funny because posters take up a lot of space,
so I don't have that many posters, but I have
like masks and action figures, and I have like other
kind of I have a machete looking things, you know
that are signed and stuff like that. But I don't
actually have the posters because I don't have wall space

(27:05):
for everything. I have a ton of posters that are
and I have a lot. I used to always get
the pictures, like autograph pictures and stuff, so I have
two big books from when I was young. I'm old now,
you know, but when I was like in my twenties
and twenties and early thirties, like I would go all
the time and collect them all. And then I thought, what,
they don't really do you any good now in the
social media world. So now I get pictures and invite

(27:26):
them on the show and that way, you know, we
put them out in social media because it makes it
a lot more fun. But I think it must be
fun to meet, you know, just go and meet all
the fans. I mean, I know some of them are crazy,
but even the crazy ones are fun.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
It's always.

Speaker 12 (27:38):
Conventions are terrific because, like you said, you get to
meet them. These are the people that are keeping this
franchise going, and it's a thrill, you know, for them.
They love to meet you who you know, someone they've
watched in a show, and they know more than we
do about the work we've done. It's incredible, you know,
even not only in heart. I remember doing a soap oper.
I would play a doctor and they would tell me

(27:58):
backstory and they would ask me questions of things, and
you know, and I was the tenth guy to play
doctor Jamie Frame on Another World, and I didn't know
a lot of the backstory and they would fill me in.
But fans know so much more because they're so devoted
to these projects.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
So I live on Pop Springs, so I don't see it,
but I see the pictures on Facebook and and on
I think it's Tuesday nights in LA they have like
this like a horror game night thing where there's groups
of people competing and they have to answer all the
horror questions and it's super cool. But and I thought, oh,
I'd be good at that. I know all this stuff.
And so I was talking to the people who go
and Tommy Brunswick is always there, who did the convention

(28:35):
you just did? She's fabulous. And they don't ask like
story produe lines. They asked like what color pin was
the character wearing on his shirt?

Speaker 6 (28:45):
You know, and I would veil that game.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
I thought I knew a lot about horror movies, and
I was like, I couldn't. I couldn't get a single
question right. I was like, holy shit, this is really
hard stuff.

Speaker 6 (28:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
I mean it's for diehard fans, and I feel like
I'm with iheard, you know, fan, but more of like
a general diehard fan.

Speaker 6 (29:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Yeah, but the characters in general. All right, So let's
talk a little bit about Chopping Mall. I see Kelly Moroni,
we're friends for we're friends and friendly. I don't talk
to her all the time, but we see her at
a lot of premieres, and she's been on the show
Chopping Mall. Another big cult following film. Kelly Morony, Barbara Crampton,
Tony Odell, Dick Miller, Nick Siegel, see Gary Emerson, Susy Slater,

(29:28):
John Turleski, Angus scrim who actually I've met a bunch
of times before he passed by. But that's a cool
concept of a movie that hasn't really nobody's really tried
to bastardize it and change it.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
It's true. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (29:40):
It was produced by Julie Corman, who was the wife
of Roger Corman, and we took over the Sherman Oaks Galleria.
I think it was maybe for four weeks, maybe three weeks,
and we would get in there at eight or nine
o'clock at night when when the store is closed, and
we'd wrap up.

Speaker 6 (29:54):
We'd have to be done by eight am, and we
would destroy the place.

Speaker 12 (29:57):
You know, there's these killer robots chasing us allo and
picking us off one by one, and it was it
was a lot of fun to do. We were all
kind of a young group of actors that didn't have
a lot of credits. But it was directed by Jim Minorski,
who was a lot of fun and written by Steve
Mitchell who was terrific. And you know, running around that mall,
blowing it up and shooting the guns at the robots,

(30:19):
which became futile, but we kept shooting them anyway, like
it was going to make, you know, change something. But
a lot of good memories from that and we just
had it was in Culver City last week. There was
a screen sold out at the theater down there, and
we did a Q and A after and they had
some terrific questions. But it is amazing that Picture Too

(30:41):
has lasted so long and become kind of a cult classic.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
Well, I think that's what's cool about a lot of
the films that you're in, I think is that they
you know, those are two extremely cult classic films. And
I do believe because I do believe that gig Gustin
is like one going to be like the next big thing.

Speaker 12 (30:56):
She's terrific, not only a terrific actress, but a terrific
person and so wonderful to be around.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
I think that I think that the films that she's
in are going to end up being kind of cult
like also as we you know, Get Going and Chrissy
Fox you know Terrifier already. Like whether you like Terrifier
or you don't like Terrifier, you can't deny that they
have created like the most amazing, you know, franchise ever.

Speaker 6 (31:18):
Yeah, pretty much. So yeah, Yeah, I just worked with.

Speaker 12 (31:24):
Nadia who is with you know, Spencer Charnis, who is
Ice nine Kills, who does the main themes. So I
did a little promo for them because they've launched a
makeup line, and I.

Speaker 6 (31:37):
Did a promo for them, which was a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
Have you done any Have you been in music videos?
Have you been in any music videos?

Speaker 12 (31:43):
Yes, I'm in another music video that's going to be
coming out soon for an individual. It's a he's a singer.
His name is Chatter and so that's going to be
coming out soon. So I was in that video recently.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
I know, I like love that shit. So what I
want to do real quick for people who are watching.
We're going to play the trailer for Upping Mall real quick,
just so I have it in the media when we
put the video up, so you introduce it to us,
and then one it's going to play it. One get
the video that says chopping Mall killbots, introduce it for us,
and then hang on.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
All right, So.

Speaker 12 (32:12):
We're a bunch of young people that are partying in
the mall and we decide to take this furniture store.
We're one of the guys works and we're going to
party there. And this mall is now protected. It's the
very first night is protected by robots. And that very night, ah,
it's an electrical storm and a bolt of lightning hits
the transformer on the roof and the robots go berserk,

(32:32):
and they don't recognize us.

Speaker 6 (32:34):
We have badges.

Speaker 12 (32:34):
They're supposed to recognize the badge and say have a
nice day and move on.

Speaker 6 (32:38):
But of course in the movie like this, all hell
breaks loose.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Love it.

Speaker 12 (32:54):
So as a new security, completely mobile, user friendly and
absolutely fail safe.

Speaker 6 (33:04):
But something's going on.

Speaker 14 (33:31):
Held boss, there's another one of those things.

Speaker 13 (33:52):
Out one by one and getting.

Speaker 6 (34:33):
The year year protection and shopping never be the same, kid, Buttons.
There's a lot of action in there, a lot of action.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
You know, I totally forgot about the snakes and the
spiders though for some reason, until I just watched that again.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
You know, now Kell Maroney actually had to deal with that.
But you know, you showed the trailer for Killbots. It
was later called Chopping Mall.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
Yes, I know, it's later called Chopping Mall. I uh,
that was the best trailer of all the ones though
on you actually is I agree? So I picked it
because of that. But yes, you guys, so the film nowadays,
if you're looking for it, you got to look up
Chopping Mall because it's not called Killbots. But that's the
YouTube description was Chopping Ball Slash Killbots. But yeah, it's
a great movie. It's so much fun. It's so campy.

(35:27):
I think that, you know, the time that all of
those movies came out, I really enjoyed the campy movies
a little bit more than I do the really hardcore,
you know, serious ones, even though I'm a big fan
of like the Saw movies and stuff. But but like,
I think that the gore has gotten so out of whack,
you know, and it's so crazy.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
And you know, I have a very full practical effects now.
They could do anything.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
I mean, yeah, they can do anything. Yeah, Like we
went through to like so Marcell Wall's a very good
friend of mine. I love his movies. But the last
two movies that we saw that he did you know
in both of them, like somebody gets their penis chopped off,
you know, and they show it, and I was just like,
that's getting I don't know, it's a little bit too much.

Speaker 6 (36:06):
Yeah, for me, great movies.

Speaker 5 (36:08):
I recommend everybody to go see them, but for me personally,
so my husband is eighty five, and so we end
up watching a lot of too B because we watch
a lot of movies that were from the eighties, you know,
still on two B and that's where you can watch
them all, but we noticed lately and we've talked about
it on the show a bunch of times, Like a
lot of the movies, not just in the horror movies,

(36:29):
but like we've watched movies where like now it shows
people like pooping and wiping their rear end and they
shows everything. And I don't mean like little crappy movies.
I mean like Julianne Moore movies and like, you know,
the biggest Academy Award people in there. I don't know,
in my personal opinion, like we don't need to see
all that kind of stuff in a movie, and I
think it for me, it kind of like wrecks the

(36:51):
movie a little bit, because I mean, everybody knows Julian
Moore poops, but I don't need to see it in
the film. And and so I think that. And with
the horror, I think the war stuff, you know, as
much as I like it all, and I get the
young people are because I'm older, I'm getting older. I
think that the young people probably like enjoy it a

(37:13):
whole lot. But it's kind of like the terrifying movies.
I watched all of them, and congratulations to them, but
it's a little too gory for me at sixty. I
like it when they have really cool stories. And actually
chopping Mall was a cool story.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
It really was.

Speaker 5 (37:28):
I knew it.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
It was a novel.

Speaker 12 (37:29):
It was definitely a novel idea and I think it worked,
and again the fans have stuck with it, which is great.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
Yeah, I saw even I think, oh no, that was
a different movie. I think Kellen Money was like trying
to get her cheerleading outfit from one of her movies.
I kept seeing it a night of the comic that, Yeah,
that was. I think that was. I think it was
nine of the comment. I was thinking it was chatting
out chomping Mall at the beginning. All right, so you've
done soap operas, You've done movies, TV series, you guys.

(38:00):
He's been on a bunch of them. Jake and the
Fat Man, Throb, Divorce Court, High Mountain Rangers, Jesse Hawk's Riptide.

Speaker 12 (38:07):
And Riptide was great because my dad was Caesar Romero,
which we were only supposed to do one episode. We
played Italian oceanographers and we only spoke Italian, so we
had to learn everything phonetically. But they liked it a
lot and they wrote us back into another episode, and
during breaks we were sitting in our chairs and talking
and I would say to Caesar, you know, tell me

(38:27):
stories you know about old Hollywood.

Speaker 6 (38:28):
He goes, what do you want to hear? Anything you
say would be fascinating, and he would literally be.

Speaker 12 (38:32):
Telling me stories about partying with Mary Pickford and Charlie
Chaplin and how they're at that time they had such
class and grace and how my generation and generations to
come lacked that. But his stories were fascinating and it
was really cool to be sitting with him. And I
did a western that was on TNT called Border Shootout

(38:53):
and that was with Glenn Ford, another icon, and I
got a chance to work with him, which was a
thriller and if anyone wants to check that out. I
love that I got to play a bad guy and
you know, the black hat and the duster, and you know,
my idea for their idea for makeup every day was
for me to stand in front of them and they
would pick up dirt and throw it at me, which.

Speaker 6 (39:10):
Is great, and you know, my whole duster, everything was
covered in dirt.

Speaker 12 (39:13):
And I played a bad guy with a good heart
and it's a terrific piece I liked it a lot,
and that's available, I'm sure somewhere on the internet.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
Border Shootout.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
I know.

Speaker 5 (39:21):
I love all the old Hollywood stories. So my husband
being eighty five, his best friend was Jane Russell and
and he did stuff. He worked with like Elizabeth Taylor
and Jane Russell and Tab Hunter, and he knew everybody.
He didn't know Caesar rome because we see Caesar Romero
all the time on The Golden Girl Reenbakes replays and
I always ask him if he's met him, and he said, now,

(39:43):
we didn't get a chance to meet Caesar Romero. But
I think that, you know, well, it's just different. I
get the times have changed, and for him, Hollywood is
different for me because I'm a child of the eighties,
Like I was good friends with Corey Haym and I'm
friends with Corey Felman and like the eighties people and
more like the older people. And now there's a new generation.
But our show basically appeals, you know. I basically most

(40:05):
of our guests fit in the like forty to seventy
five year old range, you know, for so everybody knows
who they are. We did have one young band come
on Emblem three and there's a bunch of like mid
twenties guys and and and I don't think they could
handle it. I think our show actually got too wild
for them because I really wild with him. But we
don't really have an audience for them, even though it

(40:26):
did pretty well. But you're our total demographics. So my
question to you would be, because I know from talking
with all the soap opera friends that we have, you know,
soap operas are super difficult because like you got to
you got to know your lines, and if you mess up,
I mean, you basically get fired.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
They don't actually they're factories.

Speaker 12 (40:48):
I mean you you do have to memorize a lot,
and especially depending on you know, how popular your character
is that time, and you know, if you're working two
shows that week or five shows. But it's a you know,
it's get through it, get through the day you have
to make that day because you're doing an entire script
in one day. So it's very different than a movie
you come in for you know, five six, seven pages

(41:09):
or ten pages whatever.

Speaker 6 (41:11):
But soap opera is a very different beast.

Speaker 5 (41:14):
Yeah, they said, like like Sean Cannon would say, sometimes
he's got like fifty sixty seventy pages in a day.

Speaker 6 (41:20):
Yeah, yeah, that is you memorize.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
Which made me think like, first of all, I wouldn't
be able to do it because my memory isn't isn't
that good? And so then how is that? How does
it differ then from doing regular TV because you've got
soap operas is one avenue, actual TV series is another,
and then you've got movies, like how is it? How
is it?

Speaker 6 (41:40):
You're doing a TV series?

Speaker 12 (41:41):
You know you're there for the week, and so you
have many days to shoot different scenes, so you don't
have I mean, I try to memorize everything before I
even hit the set, but you can just keep you know,
checking it and memorizing every night as well. So as
far as the script that it's much easier on a
TV show than on a soap opera. Although some soap
operas use Q cards the soap side in another world,

(42:01):
we did not use them.

Speaker 6 (42:02):
So it was a lot of memorization.

Speaker 12 (42:04):
And as a doctor, doctor Jamie Frame, I had to
learn a lot of technical things, so it was quite intense.
But I remember doing a show years ago. It was
called Divorce Court and Superior Court was the other one.
And you know, as a lawyer on that show, we
had our opening statements were five okay, they were monologues
and you had to memorize them, and they wanted to

(42:25):
shoot those as if it was a true court scene
and just you know, from the beginning to the end.
So you know, there's there's certain techniques to learn to
memorize better. And I think when you're on a show,
the longer there, the easier it is to memorize so
that pops off, you know, into your head, off the
page much easier. But a film, again, you're shooting just
you know, a handful of pages a day, so memorization

(42:47):
is much easier for that.

Speaker 5 (42:48):
Yeah, films are films are different. So I've produced a
bunch of films about I don't know, forty something films,
and I think that I've worked with a lot of actors.
You know, a lot of actors use qu cards too.

Speaker 6 (43:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:01):
I don't want to tell anybody because like people probably
don't want anybody to know that, but there's lots of
very well known actors that use Q cars. Ron my husband,
because he's still working, he wears a he has a
hearing aid, and so I take his phone and I
feed him the lines, and if he forgets anything, I
listen on this, I feed him the lines, you know,
so he can, you know, do it because he has
a hard time remembering now, yeah, you know that he's older.

(43:24):
Do you find it now that you're older. Is it
harder for you to memorize lines or is it pretty
much the same because you've been doing it for such
a long time.

Speaker 6 (43:30):
No, I think you know, you lose it.

Speaker 12 (43:32):
I think it's much easier if you're doing it constantly,
if you're on a show regularly, But if you're not,
I think it is tougher. The brain is like a muscle,
and the more it's being used, the more it gets
used to that. You know, the first few months on
the soap opera it was tough, but soon after that,
literally the lines were just kind of popping off the
page into my head. And also gets another character better,
so you kind of know what you're gonna say, uh,

(43:54):
and you know the other characters of what's going to
come at you.

Speaker 6 (43:57):
And if you're really listening, you can respond.

Speaker 12 (43:58):
Even if you don't have the exact response that was written,
you know you're gonna make enough sense that it's workable
for the scene.

Speaker 5 (44:06):
That's telling me that you can watch the movie on YouTube.
H A night of the comments also free on YouTube
on the chatter and we're telling me like things. So
you guys, if you want to watch if if you
want to watch Chopping Wallets on YouTube and uh so,
so let me ask you this, Well, what did you

(44:27):
which if you had your wherewithal Like, what what is
your favorite of the three ways to do it? Like
if you were going to go become you could go
and do whatever you wanted to and you were the
most popular actor ever, what medium is your preference?

Speaker 12 (44:42):
Well, I think there's always something magical about being on
a movie screen that you know, you sit there in
the theater. I love going to theater, you know, and
the theater was dying for a while. It might still
be a bit, but I think people are starting to.

Speaker 5 (44:53):
Go back, starting to come back.

Speaker 12 (44:54):
Yeah yeah, But sitting there in the darkness and that
shared communal experience and watching the light hit the screen
and being you know, so tall, it's pretty magical for
you know. Although whenever I see a project the first time,
I cringe because I never know what to expect.

Speaker 6 (45:11):
But that's my favorite as far as working on a
film and there's.

Speaker 12 (45:14):
Something about a film, perhaps there's more time to deal
with technical things and just filmmaking is fascinating to me,
always has been. I wanted to be a director of
films when I was growing up, so I think that's
a medium I will always love. But there's it's terrific
doing TV, doing commercials, doing you know, soap opera is

(45:39):
also wonderful. I'm actually in a soap opera now I
can't say the name until they released the press, but
I shot for a couple of weeks, a couple days already.
Now I've got more coming this month, but a soap
opera that's been on for about ten years.

Speaker 5 (45:52):
Good.

Speaker 6 (45:53):
Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 5 (45:55):
So do you like to watch yourself work? Like I
know a lot of people like they don't like to.

Speaker 12 (45:59):
Go like no oh, Like I said, I kind of
fear looking at it the first time, like many actors.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
But once I've seen it, that'll invite friends to go
or watch or come here and watch some stuff on
the television here.

Speaker 5 (46:11):
But but you don't really have dogs, you know, like
a lot of us horror movie actors, like you know,
we have we might have a few good films in there,
but like we also have like a million, Like I've
got some of the shittiest movies you'll ever see that
I've been in. You know, they're just they're like embarrassing.
We have one called Croaker, and it's so bad. I
think we made it for like you know, fifteen grand

(46:31):
or something, and it's just like the scariest, most terrible
movie ever. It's like from fifteen years ago. And so
I but you don't have that, like like you kind
of like started off right off the bat in some
pretty good stuff, so you don't have like this embarrassing,
you know, resume that you have to fall back on,
which I find actually really cool about you because a

(46:51):
lot of the other people that we've had, who are
you know, really well known, they all have like some
real shit a ruse, but you don't actually have any.

Speaker 6 (46:58):
I'm I'm not going to challenge you on that because
I wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
I don't want to admit it.

Speaker 5 (47:04):
If there are, Oh no, they're pretty good though. I
think they're pretty good. So let me ask you this question.
I like to ask all the actors to come on anyway,
So bucket list any male or female actor if you
could work with anyone living or dead, who would you
like to work with? And then the second part of
the question will be if you could have ever been
in any movie that's ever been made, what movie would

(47:25):
you like to have been in.

Speaker 12 (47:27):
I think I always would have enjoyed working I think
he's retired now, is Jack Nicholson?

Speaker 5 (47:31):
Yes, me too.

Speaker 12 (47:33):
Fabulous, fabulous, so connected to everything he does and so powerful.
And it can be humorous too. We've seen him play
humor in films too.

Speaker 5 (47:43):
And nobody's ever picked Jack Nicholson. That's a really good one. Then,
you know, Adam like, I don't know if that's I
don't know. We've had like, like almost a thousand shows
and nobody's ever picked Jack Nicholson. So that's a good one.
I like that. Okay, give me a female. I think
Jack Nicholson is a great town.

Speaker 6 (48:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (48:01):
Yeah, And I'll pick one that I worked with already.
Actually we did a commercial together. Sharon Stone. I think
she's Yeah. I think she's a terrific actress. And of
course she left the industry for a while because she
had some medical issues, and I believe she's back, which
I hope she's back because she's she's a wonderful actress.
And I would have loved to play opposite Herns And
we did a commercial together for a Scotch that only

(48:22):
played in Europe and Asia and is black and white.

Speaker 6 (48:24):
But if anyone wants to see it, it's a great spot.

Speaker 12 (48:26):
If you google Sharon Stone and the word Scotch, it'll
pop up.

Speaker 5 (48:31):
Oh no, that's fun.

Speaker 6 (48:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (48:33):
Actually, my stepdaughter used to work for an agency in
LA and she handled Sharon Stone. Oh really, yeah, so
it was cool, and then she got out of the
business totally. She she worked with Sharon Stone and Paul
Labduel and then she hated it and she was like, yeah,
I'm not doing this anymore. But she didn't say anything
bad about it about them, so she wasn't for her.

(48:55):
It just wasn't for her, you know.

Speaker 6 (48:56):
Yeah, sure, it's not for everybody.

Speaker 5 (48:58):
Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone. I like like it,
even though there's lots of like people to say terrible
things and there's like so much like backstabbing and terrible
things that happened in the background, But I kind of like,
let all that just blow off. I enjoy it. I've
met some of the nicest people ever. I'm having a
good time And if you like the people are a problem.
I won't use them again, that's all.

Speaker 6 (49:18):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, you learn.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
That's why you live. You learn. And what and what
movie would you have liked to have been in if
you could have been in anything?

Speaker 12 (49:26):
Well, because I've always wanted to do a movie that
involved heavy prosthetics, you know, like Doug Jones has done
so many of them with yeah lots, although now appearing.

Speaker 6 (49:36):
As seeing his face, which is great.

Speaker 12 (49:39):
But growing up, I loved all the Planet of the
Apes movies me too, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (49:44):
What it was, but they just captured me that you
would see the humanity.

Speaker 15 (49:48):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (49:49):
It was a strange term to you is considering they
were apes, but you would, you know, you would see
their expressions as if they were human and their everything
going on behind their eyes, but they were apes.

Speaker 6 (49:58):
I just thought that was magical ways and so I
would run on the very first day that those.

Speaker 12 (50:03):
Would open, uh, to the theater and see them, and
then all of them have come for years and years after.

Speaker 6 (50:08):
That's also quite a franchise.

Speaker 12 (50:09):
So I would love to be in perhaps one of
the Plan of the Apes films, like I Love Aesthetics,
or any other film where there's heavy prosthetics and your
emotions and your eyes, you know, show and tell it
all through through that through the which I think.

Speaker 5 (50:24):
Is a very difficult thing for a lot of actors
to do. The really good ones can do it. I
feel like, you know, now we're now we're in a
different world. And we talk about this a lot, which
I'm not knocking it. But there's so many crowdfunding movies.
I'm really good friends with all the people who who
make the biggest crowdfunding movies. But but you know, unfortunately,

(50:45):
because they sell roles, you know, a lot of the
people that buy the roles can't act, and so they
don't have those eye movements or any of those you know.
And and I always bring up them all brothers rest
in peace, as one of them passed away. But they
make you know, they've proud funded like six teen or
seventeen you know, movies for big money. But then in
their movies there's always like fifty characters that have like

(51:07):
a line that don't even really need to be there,
but they're in there because they paid, you know, for
the line, and which unfortunate. It's unfortunate because I think
if they had somebody just gave them some money, I
think they would make fabulous, you know movies without all
of that, right Underly, the model for US independent filmmakers
is like, get the money however you can, and sometimes
it wrecks it. But even then, you know, the movies

(51:28):
are good. They did some, They've done some excellent movies,
and then I've seen some really terrible you know, crowdfunded
ones also, But I haven't done it yet. I'm actually
trying to not ever have to do that. I try to,
you know, find the money from people to get it done,
and hopefully we we will.

Speaker 12 (51:48):
Well, I think it's amazing anytime anyone gets a movie
made because of I do too, challenge of raising the
movie and then all the intricacies of putting it together
and so many departments and an obstacle goals.

Speaker 6 (52:00):
I mean, it's truly incredible. And to get anything.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
I agree, and I think, you know, sometimes I'm a
little bit more critical, probably than I should be, But
I also believe anybody who comes up with an idea
gets it cast comes up to the money and gets
it distributed, whether it's good or bad. It's a lot
of work, and not out of many do it. In
kudos to them.

Speaker 6 (52:20):
I have.

Speaker 5 (52:20):
I have three films out now. One of them is
really good, but it doesn't have any name people in it,
so it's not doing that well. I have another one
that's got a few name people in it it's doing okay.
And I have one that I think it's just like
totally bombing. But they're like lower budget indie, and I
think that I'm getting ready to do a bigger budget,
like a three million dollar film, and hopefully that's gonna,

(52:42):
you know, do better. I really, I really all these
movies that I'm talking about, they were may years ago
but they finally just got distribution. But I'm really trying
to take myself out out of the under a million
dollar budget range and go from like one to five million.

Speaker 6 (52:58):
And we'll see.

Speaker 5 (52:59):
I've got nine of them, so we'll see what happens
for you. So what's your favorite genre then, do you guys?
You know, like with Planet of the Apes, Like I
used to collect all the toys from the from the
TV series Charlton Heston back when Amazon and I had
the toys from that. I like the Mark Wahlberg one,
then the newer ones. I didn't watch all of them.

(53:19):
I think I've watched all but the last one. I
don't I like them. I don't like them as much
as I like the older ones.

Speaker 6 (53:24):
But I too, I mean I love the older ones.

Speaker 12 (53:26):
They were just true and also it was a new
idea and it was just it was fascinating.

Speaker 6 (53:31):
The concept and the action.

Speaker 5 (53:33):
Figures are worth money now if you've got the page
from back then, yeah, which I do have a bunch
of them from them. I like the Mark Wahlberg version
one just because I like Mark Wahlberg. I think Mark
Wahlberg's you know, a great a great actor from someone
who started out as a hip hop artist. You know,
he really.

Speaker 6 (53:50):
Transition.

Speaker 5 (53:51):
Yeah, it sure was. It was super big. So what
do we got coming up that we need to let
people know about.

Speaker 12 (53:56):
Well, Stiletto, which will be coming out in January, I
believe theaters all over the country, all over Europe. I
believe if It Bleeds, which hopefully will be coming out
it's probably in twenty twenty six, that will come out again.
That picture and I play something I never got to play,
kind of this nerdy. I play a nosy neighbor in that.
And we just had a screening of that, and I

(54:17):
was very happy with the work there in the movie.

Speaker 6 (54:19):
I think it's terrific.

Speaker 5 (54:20):
So you'll show people that one, you'll tell them about it.

Speaker 6 (54:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (54:23):
Yeah, And that's the one with Doug Jones and Christy
Fox and Dee Wallace and Nadia a bunch of people.
And then another one where I got to play the
President of the United States very briefly, called.

Speaker 6 (54:39):
Sweetest Day, which is also coming out next year, I believe.

Speaker 8 (54:43):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (54:43):
I wrote down Sweetest Day Katherine Corcoran, Kelly Moroney, Alex McNichol,
and Deborah Craig.

Speaker 12 (54:49):
Kelly and I actually have a scene together. I mean
the scene I'm in is with Kelly, which is nice.
So we got to reunite and work together again. And
then I have a podcast that's coming out this month,
col Seduction. Eric Roberts is in it, uh, and that
will be on Ourtforms.

Speaker 5 (55:07):
He's been on the show a couple of times.

Speaker 6 (55:09):
Yes, Eric works a lot.

Speaker 5 (55:10):
Yeah, he works a lot. He's a great, great guy.

Speaker 12 (55:13):
Really nice guy, terrific. I see him at fan conventions.

Speaker 6 (55:17):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (55:18):
It's funny because I went to a screening of a
movie called Elevator and Eric Roberts was the star along
with Matt Rife, who I don't think anybody knew that
Matt Rife was when that movie came out. But now
Matt Wright's a huge comedian, a huge star. And they
asked me because I knew Eric, they asked me if
I would like to go pick him up from his
car down at the parking lot, you know, and bring

(55:38):
him up and take him back down. And he was
the nicest guy, and he was like, you know, he
needs somebody to take because I was like, you know,
why can't you just walk up to yourself? And he
was like, you know, because of the movies I'm in,
people try to start ship with him, you know, and
I can't. You know, if I hit somebody, that's it,
I'm done. You know. He was just like people. And
I was like, and it just made me think, like

(56:00):
I would never think, because he's like this karate and
all these karate movies, that I would want to go
start a fight with Eric Roberts.

Speaker 6 (56:05):
You know.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
It just seemed like the dumbest thing, like people. I
guess I'm just old and stupid. I don't know, but
like I would never do that, but it makes sense.

Speaker 6 (56:12):
I had those experiences.

Speaker 5 (56:14):
Yeah, yeah, So when I when he said it, it
made sense to me, you know, And I was like,
I guess I just wasn't like thinking full throttle because
I would think, if you know, I'm always really excited
if I get to meet someone who I admire their
work and I think they're a big deal. So I
would never think to like start trouble with somebody. But
I guess that happens. Does that happen to you too?

Speaker 6 (56:33):
No, I've been very lucky.

Speaker 12 (56:34):
Everyone's been very nice, although they've come up to me
in interesting places. I remember having dinner once in New York.
I was on the soap opera and I went to
the restroom. I was at the urinal and someone comes
up to the eural next to me, and he turns
and goes, do you.

Speaker 6 (56:47):
Mind if I get an autograph? I'm taking a piss.
I'd be very happy to do it when I get
out of here.

Speaker 5 (56:55):
But we were at a Mahall Brother's screening and I
had met Richard Rica, but we didn't know each other
very well. And Ron, my other half, went up to
him when he was in the bathroom peing because Ron
was also peeing it and he introduced himself while I
HER's peeing and said, hey, you know, we'd love to
have you on our show, you know, And he pitched
the whole show while he was on there, and then

(57:16):
he came out and I talked to him too, and
then he came on our show like two weeks later,
and we've been friends ever since. But but I mean,
that was a it was a very odd way to
do it, though I probably wouldn't have done it.

Speaker 12 (57:25):
That way, just solicit things.

Speaker 5 (57:29):
No, but I wouldn't ask for an autograph though. First
of all, like you gotta wash your hands, so I
think that's funny. But one thing that's good about you
is that you've maintained your looks, thank you. Not everybody
maintains their looks. So you maintain your looks so you
can still play like the leading role older gentleman, you know,

(57:50):
in things. And I think you probably will because I
think a lot of people are going to see this
interview and hopefully we'll get you in a bunch of
stuff and let's see we want to tell people again.
Follow you on your Instagram at Russell Todd to la
you guys Chopping Mall and Friday the Thirteenth, Part two
are probably both on they're stream in someplace you guys.

Speaker 6 (58:11):
Are always sent out.

Speaker 5 (58:12):
Check them out and make sure you look up for
chopping mall though, and not killbox because that's one. And
then maybe when if it Bleeds comes out or Stiletto
comes out, maybe I'll talk to Gigi and maybe we
can do like a cash show or something to bring
that'll be terrific.

Speaker 6 (58:28):
That'd be wonderful. Yeah, a lot of people cross over, and.

Speaker 5 (58:32):
Yes, it'd be fun. So thank you so much for
coming on the show. We wish you and everything you do.
And if you have ever anything big you want to
our next guest road I want to know what he
wanted signed. That's funny.

Speaker 6 (58:48):
That's a good question.

Speaker 5 (58:49):
That was a good question. But thanks for coming on.
And if you ever have anything to get big to promot,
just shoot me a message. Won't bring you back.

Speaker 6 (58:55):
That sounds great. I enjoyed it. Thank you very much.
Bye bye, all right, everybody.

Speaker 5 (59:00):
Room, That was fun again, that was Russell Todd, great guy,
good looking guy, great credits. We're gonna take a quick
music break, and in our music break we are going
to play even Brown, who was a guest on our
show like a year ago.

a little early, let's bring him on.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
Hey, Hey man, how are you?

Speaker 5 (01:03:36):
I'm good? How am I early? You're a little bit early,
But that's okay because I let the other guy go
early since I saw you on here. Yes, I don't like.

Speaker 18 (01:03:45):
I got your message that's you know, to come by
because you were trying to get rid of him.

Speaker 5 (01:03:48):
So that was hilarious. But you when you wrote I
want to know what he wanted signed? Even because that
was hilarious.

Speaker 6 (01:03:56):
Like.

Speaker 18 (01:03:58):
When is somebody gonna say, But I've heard that story
from other people that I don't know what people think
that you can just walk up to someone in a
urinal at a urinal and start a conversation or has
for an autograph.

Speaker 4 (01:04:13):
That's what we're talking about.

Speaker 18 (01:04:17):
I would you know answer My question was what did
the guy want signed?

Speaker 12 (01:04:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
I know?

Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
And actually, so the Russell Tide guy is pretty good looking,
so I wouldn't have been terrible to stand next to
him on the He's a cute guy, so and what
a nice guy. I never met him before, so it
was crackly that's cool. I actually just reached out to
him on Instagram like I do to everybody that I

(01:04:46):
reach out to to come on the show, and except
for you, I reached out to you on Facebook because
you've already been on the show.

Speaker 6 (01:04:53):
Yes, so that's different.

Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
And we should say you're on the show because of
Matt Chasin from Matt's Marketing there we go. We want
to get it correct, had to because Matt wanted to
get out to Matt, He's literally one of my favorite
people in Hollywood, even though he doesn't live in Hollywood.
He's like a total stand up guy, really really good guy.
And and uh, yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:05:12):
I was gonna say for someone who doesn't live there,
he yes, he radiates Hollywood.

Speaker 5 (01:05:18):
He sure does. So Now where do you live?

Speaker 18 (01:05:21):
Actually at the moment, I'm living in uh, Michigan, just
south of Kalama Zoo. Okay, but I still I still
consider myself to be based out of Chicago. Uh not
only is the cost of living much better here, you know,
with virtual auditions so much, it doesn't require you actually

(01:05:42):
being close so.

Speaker 5 (01:05:45):
Much anymore at all.

Speaker 18 (01:05:47):
So where I'm at right now, I'm actually midway between
Chicago and Detroit, and so I get calls from both places.
And an hour north of me is Grand Rapids, which
has a very thriving commercial.

Speaker 4 (01:06:01):
Production and I love it. So we should do I
get a lot of commercial work in Grand Rapid.

Speaker 5 (01:06:07):
Let me do a lot of Let me do an introduction. Hey, everybody,
welcome back to the Jimmy Star Show with Ron Mussell,
one of our favorite indie horror actors. She's coming to
Icon in the Indie Horror World. Bill d Russell Hull

I just got back from vacation, so I had to rest.
I got to rest a little.

Speaker 4 (01:06:32):
Yeah, you got that post vacation glow.

Speaker 5 (01:06:36):
So I actually have been to Kalamazoo. So I was
a competitive tennis player and that's where nationals are and
tennis player until I went to college. And then I want.
I wanted to go to University of Florida. I was
good enough to make the team, but I wasn't good
enough to start. I enjoyed it. I joined a fraternity
and played intermural tennis instead, and I went undefeated for

(01:06:57):
four years. And I was in a jock fraternity and
we went undefeated for four years in tennis, playing in
a minroal tennis and uh, and now I have a
bad knee, so I can't do any of it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:09):
Oh you're going to use that for an excuse.

Speaker 5 (01:07:11):
Yes, I am, I just I'm one of the under
the knee you.

Speaker 18 (01:07:16):
You injured in a horrible motorcycle act or a skydiving
which was it?

Speaker 4 (01:07:20):
I can't really there.

Speaker 5 (01:07:21):
I've actually been skydiving, but no, I didn't interjerre it.
I just injured in And I've had three total knee
replacements and a knee so. I had a knee replacement
in February, and I had a manipulation in May where
they just doesn't move. They knock you out and they
just force bend it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
And oh god.

Speaker 5 (01:07:39):
The manipulation hurt worse than the surgery.

Speaker 4 (01:07:41):
Did I bet well.

Speaker 18 (01:07:42):
I've had both my hips replaced, and I know that
a knee is far worse.

Speaker 5 (01:07:48):
It didn't work. It looks like your hips work. You're walking, Okay,
I get it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:53):
I get it around.

Speaker 6 (01:07:54):
Yes, you get around.

Speaker 5 (01:07:56):
So I have a question for you, Yes, sir, talk
about all. We have a lot of time because you
came on earth anyway, So.

Speaker 5 (01:08:03):
How did you? No, No, it's terrific. I'm very happy
to have you here. Obviously, Ron has some things that
he had to do, and the only time he could
get him done is Wednesday. This Wednesday.

Speaker 18 (01:08:12):
That's unfortunate because it's Russell Day, right, No, it's Russell Day.

Speaker 4 (01:08:18):
Think you here in spirit?

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
Oh, yeah, you go, that's nice? Say nice? So have
you always wanted to because do you like horror movies? Oh?
There you go, I do.

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
My son got me this for Father's Day.

Speaker 6 (01:08:30):
That's cute, isn't that nice?

Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
Yes? Do you do you watch horror movies? Like if
you weren't in him? Is this something that you watched
before you you got in them?

Speaker 4 (01:08:40):
Oh? Absolutely?

Speaker 18 (01:08:41):
I grew up well, I grew up before the age
of the or the generation of kids who watched all
these horror movies from the eighties on on cable.

Speaker 4 (01:08:55):
They grew up with that.

Speaker 18 (01:08:56):
My my education is much different because I'm watching a
black and white television that you know, only gets three
channels because there's not cable or satellite or.

Speaker 5 (01:09:06):
Any argy channels.

Speaker 18 (01:09:07):
Yes, yeah, and and there weren't you know, it wasn't
Slasher Area yet. So I grew up on Universal Monsters, Frankenstein, Dracula,
and the Hammer films, which were basically the same characters
but so Universal and Hammer and then Ray Harryhouse and

(01:09:28):
I remember seeing Ray Harryhus and Isaac Kid the stop
motion animation. So yeah, I grew up liking that stuff,
but never in a million years, did I think, oh,
I'm going to do that.

Speaker 4 (01:09:40):
I can be in those someday.

Speaker 5 (01:09:43):
So, so what did you do before you became Are
you're pretty much a full time actor now?

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (01:09:49):
Yeah, what did you do? You know while you were because.

Speaker 4 (01:09:52):
I'm retired technically.

Speaker 5 (01:09:55):
Okay, what did you retire from?

Speaker 18 (01:09:58):
I used to work for the Chicago Tribune newspaper in
their editorial information center.

Speaker 4 (01:10:05):
I was an archivist.

Speaker 5 (01:10:06):
Okay.

Speaker 18 (01:10:07):
So when I first started working there, and that was
in Tribune Tower. If you're familiar with the architecture, it's
an old, old Gothic building with gargoyles on the outside.

Speaker 4 (01:10:20):
It was a beautiful building to work in.

Speaker 18 (01:10:24):
And when I started there, what we did is we'd
take the newspaper and we'd cut all the articles out
of the newspaper and we'd write a subject heading on them,
and we'd stamp the data and put them in an
envelope in a file cabinet. That's how we you know, archived.
Any so, if you wanted to research something, the Google
of the day was you'd call the reference department and

(01:10:44):
send me all the clips on whatever. So then by
the time I was different, Now, by the time I
was done twenty eight years later. You know, it was
all electronic and that was that was kind of the
downfall of the company because once the Internet started becoming
popular enough and you know, everything became digitized, we were

(01:11:08):
any of that became.

Speaker 5 (01:11:10):
You know, we kind of obsolete.

Speaker 4 (01:11:13):
Yeah, that's exactly right, which is terrible.

Speaker 5 (01:11:16):
Okay, So then what was so in the horror movies
that you do? Well, you know, obviously you're not a
scream queen.

Speaker 18 (01:11:25):
So do you usually watch Have you not watched puppet
Master Doctor Dowt?

Speaker 15 (01:11:29):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:11:29):
I watched that. I definitely all I.

Speaker 18 (01:11:31):
Do is scream for two and a half minutes, And
how dare you imply that I'm not a queen?

Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
So, actually, puppet Master, I've always enjoyed all the puppet
Master movies. So I've seen, you know, all of them.
Obviously they're not all they're not all terrific, but they're
all fun. And to me, you know, my whole thing
with horror movies is I just want to see something
that makes me either laugh or smile or have a
good time. You know, that's really all that actually matters.
And you do do that. You're very animated. You're very animated,

(01:12:03):
even in your posts on Facebook and Instagram and stuff
like that. You're always very animated. I can see why
people would be attracted and why you involved in a
project just because of your personality.

Speaker 4 (01:12:12):
It's a blessing and a curse.

Speaker 18 (01:12:15):
I remember going for a print audition once, which is
where you're just being photographed. It it's for a print ad,
not a video or anything, and the photographer said, will
just be totally deadpan, and so I did and he's like, no,
just no expression at all. And I said, this is it,
and he's like, even when you're totally deadpan, your face

(01:12:37):
is still too expressive, so it doesn't always work. It's yeah,
so what is your like, what are some of your
favorite not that you've been in, but like some of
your favorite.

Speaker 5 (01:12:49):
You know, more modern horror movies that you like a
lot besides puppet Master movies, because like, actually, like that was.

Speaker 18 (01:12:58):
And I will confess I really knew nothing about them
before I got cast. I was aware of them. I'd
see the titles on to Be, but I always thought,
who's watching those things?

Speaker 5 (01:13:13):
I had no clue a big following.

Speaker 4 (01:13:16):
Oh my gosh, do they ever? And it's like I
love these guys.

Speaker 18 (01:13:19):
It's they're you know, it's like I have a whole
community of friends that are a puppet fellow puppet Master fans.

Speaker 5 (01:13:27):
Now, oh no, I think puppet Masters like a lot
of fun. Like I was always because I'm I guess
because I'm a child of the eighties. I've always been
a big like basically like hell Raiser, you know, Freddie
Jason Andires are like the you know, the ones that
everybody really like knows a lot and uh and hell
Raiser is one of my favorites because I'm friends with
all the people in it. And then for some reason,

(01:13:49):
I really like the Sauce series even though it's really gruesome.
I like the song. They're well done, very well done.
I've met a bunch of people in them. I even
have problem in my and my toy and action figure collection.
I actually have like like in Saw three, the whole
movie revolves around this guy whose kid gets killed and
he hangs onto this pink bunny rabbit. Right, you know,

(01:14:11):
it's a pig. It's a pink pig. And I have
the actual pink pig from the movie, you know in
my collection.

Speaker 4 (01:14:17):
That's very cool.

Speaker 5 (01:14:18):
Oh no, I have like really like cool stuff, and
I have a lot of collectible stuff from SAW and
I think it's a lot of fun. But I also like,
I'm starting to like the independent films a lot more
since I've made a bunch of them recently, you know,
like the little one hundred to two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars movies. Yeah, I'm enjoying a bunch of them.
I know you've been in tons of stuff.

Speaker 18 (01:14:39):
Ind Indie film is on the rise, it really is.
And you see things like what Eli Roth is doing
and yeah, somebody, do I say his name right? I
always get his name wrong, like right, the hatchrit the
Hatchett guy, Thanksgiving, No Adam Green.

Speaker 4 (01:15:02):
But he's starting is.

Speaker 18 (01:15:03):
He's got like his own thing for independent filmmakers to
become part of.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
And I see that happen.

Speaker 5 (01:15:10):
Do you think of that? Do you think that that's
going to be a good thing?

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
I think so.

Speaker 18 (01:15:15):
It's it kind of reminds me of the story of
United Artists and how that formed back in the day,
which you and I are probably the only people who
know what I'm talking about, and I'm not sure you do,
but people who got together say, you know, we're not
obviously we're not fitting into what the studios want, so
let's do our own thing.

Speaker 4 (01:15:37):
I actually thought that's what's happening.

Speaker 5 (01:15:39):
That Thanksgiving movie I thought was actually really good.

Speaker 6 (01:15:42):
It was very good.

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
You know, it was done super well. And I guess
it's different than what he's doing. Is different than crowdfunding
because you're actually going to own a piece of it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:53):
Yeah, exactly, yes, Yeah, kind of.

Speaker 5 (01:15:56):
Like what they do with that other group where they
did that the Jason Muse movie. I forgot the name
of that. There's another one of those platforms tho where
you can kind of like buy into them.

Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
Yeah. I can't think of it either.

Speaker 5 (01:16:10):
It seems unusual for me for someone who's as big
as Eli Roth, but also shows you that even the
people who are really big and been very successful are
having trouble making getting money for things.

Speaker 18 (01:16:19):
Oh yeah, and you know, everybody everybody once once.

Speaker 6 (01:16:26):
You know. I don't always know.

Speaker 18 (01:16:28):
How to say, because it seems like every every project
has has a fundraiser, so it's like pick the one
you want and then become part of it. Because I
think that's the cool thing about the indie go go
fundraisers is, like you said, you you have the opportunity
to get things that you might not be able to

(01:16:49):
obtain otherwise. As a horror fan, screen used props being
a big one. In fact, I have a part in
the movie called Steve Murlow's Unseen. He just sold a
screen used prop for I think a thousand dollars. Somebody
bought it, somebody bit on it before he'd even tried

(01:17:11):
auctioning it off. So that kind of thing is very
that kind of thing is popular. So that's that's what
I try to emphasize to people is if you like
this movie, invest in it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:21):
Become part of it. I don't just want to give
us money.

Speaker 5 (01:17:25):
I like that part of it. The only part I'm
not one hundred percent down with is when they like
auction off all the roles, because I feel like, you know,
a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:17:32):
Of that that's a different that's a different bearer.

Speaker 5 (01:17:34):
Now they're not actually actors you know that are doing it,
and I feel like that ruins. It ruins for someone
who's been a ton of movies, it kind of wrecks it.
If you're in a scene with somebody and they don't
know what they're doing.

Speaker 18 (01:17:44):
Right, well, I could, I could see it if it's
you know, a glorified background. Actually, yeah, that's something like that,
but for it to be an actual role.

Speaker 4 (01:17:56):
Yeah, no, I'm not big on that either.

Speaker 5 (01:17:58):
Yeah, I'm not like too big on that. Okay, So
I took you sent me a picture and it says
sgn L magazine. I don't know what sgn L magazine
stands for. Pronounced sign sign Okay, signal magazine. It's a
horror magazine and you're going to start representing them at
horror cons that's correct.

Speaker 18 (01:18:15):
We're going to be starting to make a convention tour,
hopefully in the next couple of months.

Speaker 4 (01:18:22):
Uh. Signal Magazine is a publication.

Speaker 18 (01:18:25):
It's available both online and hard copy, and it's pretty
much about the people who are involved in the horror community.

Speaker 4 (01:18:33):
So it's not so.

Speaker 18 (01:18:34):
Much here are the horror celebrities as as much as
here are the vendors of the personalities, the cosplayers, the artists,
the writers who are involved.

Speaker 5 (01:18:44):
That's genius actually.

Speaker 18 (01:18:46):
And that's why, you know, Well, because it's geared toward
the convention community. We're going to have a presidence at
the convention. And for whatever reason, they reached out to
me and said, uh, you know, would you be willing
to be the face of the magazine, and I was like,
I'm an attention horror Yeah I have to.

Speaker 5 (01:19:08):
Oh, yeah, so have you. But you haven't gone yet.
You're getting rid of.

Speaker 18 (01:19:12):
Where We're just yeah, we're just getting ready. In fact, Uh,
I was just talking with them the last couple of days.
But we're going to start making some promotional videos and
getting things geared up, and hopefully it will coincide with
I'm in a movie called vic Effects, which just started
making the festival rounds, so I'm hoping that.

Speaker 4 (01:19:33):
We can coordinate. Uh, you know, I can.

Speaker 18 (01:19:36):
I can be at this convention where that is playing
and also representing Signal magazine.

Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
So tell us about Vick Effects first of all, because
I have the trailer so we can play it for everybody. Yeah,
tell us about Vick Effects and your role in VIC Effects.

Speaker 4 (01:19:49):
Uh.

Speaker 18 (01:19:50):
It's the tagline is It's a horror Odyssey of Sound
and Fury. It's it's a horror movie about the making
of horror movies for people who love horror movies. I
play a director like Wes Craven, John Carpenter, someone like

(01:20:11):
that who's not just famous but a little infamous or notorious,
known for the kind of graphic, not just visual, but
sound effects as well. And that's what this comes down
to is the director I play. His name is Milo Kemp.
My former folio artist, which is the person who creates

(01:20:32):
sound effects for a movie, has passed away, and I
come and approach this young woman who's gaining a reputation
and it was kind of a protege of his, and
invite her to come and take over working on these movies.

Speaker 4 (01:20:45):
And then the movie.

Speaker 18 (01:20:46):
Itself is you see snippets of the different films she's
working on, so like one is an alien creature film,
and then another one is like folk horror, and another
one's a vampire film. And as it progresses, it's sort
of like the evil that they're creating with sound and

(01:21:10):
visuals becomes real and present and starts to creep into
her life.

Speaker 5 (01:21:18):
I like, love it, all right, So so one get
the VIC Effects trailer. It says, Vick Effects, you introduced
us for us, and then you hang on, we're gonna
play it for everybody, and hopefully we got the right one.
So check out, you you introduce it everybody one, you
get it ready and we'll be right back.

Speaker 18 (01:21:34):
All right, We're about to watch the trailer for Vic Effects.
Vick Effects is a sort of a documentary style movie
about a woman who does sound effects for movies and
the horrible, horrible things that begin to happen as.

Speaker 4 (01:21:51):
She works on these horror movies.

Speaker 19 (01:21:54):
Enjoy everybody, What what truly gets people's attention. What gets
their attention is rage. Yeah, the way it looks, the
way it feels, especially especially the way it sounds.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
What's it like working with Thomas Raven?

Speaker 18 (01:22:25):
Thomas has passed away. What Actually, that's why I'm here
talking to you right now.

Speaker 8 (01:22:34):
Is he working on a film?

Speaker 18 (01:22:36):
Yeah, actually something a little different than what we're used to.

Speaker 4 (01:22:41):
He admired you.

Speaker 6 (01:22:42):
Vicky.

Speaker 5 (01:22:44):
Love mine.

Speaker 6 (01:22:44):
I really just commied what he was.

Speaker 18 (01:22:46):
Doing, which is why I believe that you should finish
the film.

Speaker 4 (01:22:52):
And I know Thomas would want that.

Speaker 8 (01:22:54):
It's sick, so went now.

Speaker 18 (01:24:12):
You created it.

Speaker 5 (01:24:20):
So that's big effects, you guys, Bilty Russell's movie, and
we were gonna have Bill on. I actually invited him
the week before we went away on vacation, but that
was his screening, so had the screening. Though it went
very well.

Speaker 18 (01:24:32):
We had a full house at the theater, you know,
applause and cheering at the end, which you know is
better than polite applause and coffee.

Speaker 4 (01:24:43):
Which trust I've had some of those.

Speaker 18 (01:24:46):
Uh you know, we did some the traditional exit interviews,
you know, videotaping people as their reactions, and everyone seemed
to really to really enjoy it.

Speaker 5 (01:24:56):
So electricity part like, yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:24:59):
Yeah, it's it's very ambitious. There's so much going on.
And the director, Christiann, it's all him, you know, he
edited it, he directed, wrote it, directed it, edited it,
did all, uh or most of the digital special effects,
and scored it, wrote the score because he's a professional

(01:25:21):
musician as well, so he was able to accomplish a
lot on a very limited budget.

Speaker 5 (01:25:28):
And is it is it? And now it's not a
it's doing the festival to it? Is that what you
said before?

Speaker 4 (01:25:32):
We just are starting to go to festivals. Now.

Speaker 18 (01:25:36):
What we're hoping to do is is attract attention of
you know, backers or investors or distributors or whatever. So
we're we're going the festival route for now, just to
see what kind of exposure we'll get and what interest
we can attract. The interesting thing we're discovering is not

(01:25:56):
every horror film festival seems to know what to make
of this we we we were in the done which
horror fest they awarded us best Feature. We've had a
couple other festivals that we were not selected for, but
we get the impression it's perhaps a little too sophisticated,

(01:26:20):
or it's this is what we claimed it. It's not
blood and titties right now, that there's anything wrong with that,
but it's not gonna grab the audience quite as quick,
right so you know, it's those all cost money to
submit to, So we're trying to be more selective about

(01:26:43):
which festivals that were submitting to. That being said, if
anybody out there runs a festival or knows of a
festival that would be interested in what you just saw,
reach out to me. We don't mind paying the fee.
It's just if they don't select you, you don't get
your money back, and you know we don't.

Speaker 4 (01:27:00):
We only have so much.

Speaker 5 (01:27:02):
No, I think I think too, like it's actually in
a way, I feel like it's kind of like a scam,
you know, like they shouldn't if you take the money,
they should find them even if they had like a
consolation round of films that they don't think are as good,
but they still should accept them or something.

Speaker 4 (01:27:16):
Because I would agree with you, sir Buck.

Speaker 5 (01:27:19):
But that's the way it goes. Because, like I was
talking about with the other guy who was on our show,
Russell Todd, like like, whether a film is good or bad,
it's very difficult to get a film made. It's an
extremely difficult thing to do. I know because I run
in and sometimes I run in kind of like an elite,
snobby crowd of everybody in they're like, Oh, this movie sucks,
this movie sucks, this movie sucks. But they've actually made movies,

(01:27:42):
so at least there's something to say. But then I
also see a lot of other people and they're just like, yeah,
this is a terrible movie. And I'm like, well, have
you ever made a movie? Do you know how difficult
it actually is to come up with that, come up
with the money, come up with the cast, and get
it distributed. A lot of people make them, but can
you also get it distributed so people can see them.

Speaker 18 (01:27:58):
I know so many people that are going to make
a movie and never do little. If anything happens or
it gets it never gets past the pre production. It's
like they glue their wad on on promoting their Indiegogo.

Speaker 4 (01:28:14):
Nothing was left to actually make a movie.

Speaker 5 (01:28:17):
It's just not really like the best way to do it.
So you have another movie I don't know where where
it is, but it's called the rip Man, Rip Man Rip.
I love that that is rest in Pain because I
was yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:28:31):
And that's actually I don't have a part in that
right now. It's a short that's available online. If it
becomes a feature, I might be involved as an actor.
Right now, I'm serving as an associate producer. The filmmakers
invited me to come on and said, you know, if
we'd help promote the film, we would love that. So

(01:28:52):
I'm only I only serve as an associate producer.

Speaker 4 (01:28:55):
You're not going to.

Speaker 18 (01:28:55):
See me in it, uh, But I I said yes,
I agreed to do it because I just think it's
such an interesting and different concept in film.

Speaker 4 (01:29:04):
And if you.

Speaker 18 (01:29:05):
See the image, it's already won a bunch of festival awards.

Speaker 5 (01:29:09):
Also, I think it's a genius title. What oh yeah
in Pain man? Like I've seen you know, probably I
don't know, hundreds of thousands of horror movies in my life.
And when I saw the first of all, the graphic
for it is really good.

Speaker 4 (01:29:23):
Yeah I know.

Speaker 5 (01:29:24):
But then when I saw you know that RIP stands
for rest in Pain. I was like, wow, that's a
good concept. It's a good concept whether you know nothing else,
Like people will should go to see it just because
of the concept of the name.

Speaker 6 (01:29:36):
Uh.

Speaker 18 (01:29:36):
If I'm saying his name correctly, Rhese Thompson r h
y S. Thompson, I believe was the writer and Jamie
Langlan's uh was the director. If I've if I've got
their their assignments correct.

Speaker 5 (01:29:50):
I also wrote down Curse of the Ghostwriter, and I
brought it up because Looe. Kauffman is in it and
James Stokes and Uh and actually like they're going to
do a live action like show on Broadway of what's
it called, not the Toxic Avenger, the other one poultry Geist.

(01:30:11):
They're going to do a live action Broadway rock musical
of poultry guys. I believe because I was asked to
be the producer, the head producer. So I brought up
because it's a Lloyd Kaufman thing and James Stokes has
been on our show. I don't know if it's any
good or not, but but I think.

Speaker 4 (01:30:28):
If it's trauma, it's gotta be good.

Speaker 5 (01:30:31):
Yeah, that's true. Like Actually trauma is so much fun.
You know that they're coming out with the Toxic Avenger.

Speaker 4 (01:30:36):
Now I'm well aware.

Speaker 5 (01:30:38):
I can't wait. I already bought the Action the new
Action figure like for it and everything.

Speaker 4 (01:30:42):
Sure of course you did, Peter dinkled Is I believe.

Speaker 5 (01:30:47):
The voices Peter and Kevin Bacon?

Speaker 4 (01:30:51):
Is Bacon's in it?

Speaker 18 (01:30:53):
Yeah, I mean it's it's it's because I remember very
well when it came out.

Speaker 4 (01:30:57):
I was just I was in the middle of doing.

Speaker 18 (01:31:02):
Improvisation with Improv Olympic, which is now Iowa Chicago and Theater.
But I was working with Dell Close, who had been
a second City director directed the main stage when it
was Blushy and Murray and and Raymus and all those
all those guys, so he was kind of a legendary person.
And it was right about that time that the Toxic

(01:31:23):
Avenger came out, and it was like, oh my god,
this is so bizarre, and it really informed, you know,
what we were doing on stage, because you know, we're
just sort of making up the comedy as we go along.
It's sort of like what we were doing was long form,
so you're basically you're improvising a story for forty or
forty five minutes, so we were it was we were

(01:31:46):
always like traumazing everything.

Speaker 5 (01:31:50):
When I started this show, I think we had been
on for about a month and I got Lloyd Kaufman
to come on, and I was so excited because I
was like, here, we are a show, you know hardly.
I mean we had a big guests right off the bat.
I was very fortunate. But I think he was my first,
you know, big horror movie guest. We started out with
musicians and we had like Gary Wright, Dreamleaver, Gary White,
oh yeah, and we had Expose, which was like a

(01:32:12):
huge girl group, and we had all these big people
right off the bat. But he was I think our
first big horror movie, you know person, and I was
so excited. He was a great guest.

Speaker 4 (01:32:21):
He's just an amazing person and he's so nice.

Speaker 18 (01:32:24):
The very first time I met him, he was like
like we were old friends. I mean, we had mutual friends,
but you know, it was like, oh yeah, and he's
taken me around and introducing me to other people. I
had just met the man for the first time. That's
what kind of guy he is.

Speaker 5 (01:32:38):
No, he's a fantastic guy, and I think that he
has you know, built an empire making like low budget
but fun ass movies.

Speaker 18 (01:32:49):
Absolutely, absolutely, And I think I sent you information on
another short film I'm in called Therapist.

Speaker 5 (01:32:56):
Yeah, we're going to play it.

Speaker 18 (01:32:58):
Oh okay, Yeah, that's be screaming, screaming. We'll be screaming
and screaming.

Speaker 5 (01:33:04):
No, you play the main villain in the director tell
us a quick little synopsis and then we'll play the video.

Speaker 18 (01:33:10):
If this is a parody of grindhouse trailers, if you
remember at the beginning of I think it was death Proof,
the Robert Rodriguez movie, there's a little fake movie trailer
for Machete Kills, which then or Machete in Space, and
so kind of inspired by that, filmmaker Chris Stone made

(01:33:31):
this film about a therapist who gets tired of hearing
her clients how horribly they're treated, and and she kind
of decides to become a vigilante and gets a grabs
a shotgun and gets on her motorcycle with her gray
bun in her you know, nose pinching glasses and goes

(01:33:54):
on a vengeine streak.

Speaker 4 (01:33:56):
And at the end, it's.

Speaker 5 (01:33:59):
Not therapy pissed like a therapist, you guys, it's therapist.

Speaker 18 (01:34:02):
Like, yes, wells, she's not just a therapist. Here here,
I'll do my closing line. When her clients get hurt,
she becomes fair raper.

Speaker 5 (01:34:19):
So you guys, here's the video that we've got for therapists,
with Bill d. Russell as the narrator and the main
villain and Joy. We'll be right back.

Speaker 11 (01:35:23):
And the more fashion.

I may be old, but damn it, I'm going to
climb in that grocery cart.

Speaker 5 (01:41:11):
I really wouldn't be able. I could get in it,
but I probably couldn't get out.

Speaker 4 (01:41:14):
Would be as I recall, I probably needed help you
in and out.

Speaker 5 (01:41:18):
You're not that old though.

Speaker 4 (01:41:19):
Also I took it a little nap.

Speaker 5 (01:41:20):
So you know how old are you? Do people know?
Is that like a public thing or that's not a
public thing?

Speaker 4 (01:41:26):
Sixty eight? It's public?

Speaker 5 (01:41:27):
Okay, Yeah, so that's not old. You're a little bit
older than me, but not much. But I could probably
get in the car, but I wouldn't be able to
get out. Yeah, I would have trouble getting out. But
it's a lot of fun. So now where do people
see Well, actually, you can just watch it on YouTube,
you guys, because it's a short, and was that the
whole film? That was the whole film?

Speaker 18 (01:41:44):
Rights, that's the whole short, And it's already won a
bunch of festival awards. Like I was just saying earlier,
it is going to be screening at the Troma Dance Festival.
I believe that's on the twenty seventh of this month.
And the schedule has several shorts playing right before the
big Trauma feature and ours is one of those.

Speaker 4 (01:42:06):
So we've we've got a good time schedule.

Speaker 5 (01:42:08):
Good for you. And where is the Trauma Festival.

Speaker 4 (01:42:11):
In New York? I can't I don't know more specific
than that.

Speaker 5 (01:42:15):
Are you going?

Speaker 18 (01:42:17):
I'm unless something happens at the last minute, I don't
think I'm going to be able to go right now.

Speaker 5 (01:42:22):
Okay, Well, I think it's great and I think you
were great in it, and you guys, if you want to,
you can watch the show the replay of the show
on YouTube and get all of Bill again, or you
can just sticking Therapist on PI S S D on YouTube.

Speaker 18 (01:42:36):
In the trailer, Oh yeah, yeah, there's not a whole
lot of different things called back.

Speaker 5 (01:42:40):
Yeah, not a lot of things called therapist and Planet.

Speaker 18 (01:42:43):
Garbage is the production company. So Therapist, Planet Garbage, you'll
get it.

Speaker 5 (01:42:49):
I love the uh, all the different ideas like like, so,
I was a big fan of what was the movie
we were talking about Planet Earth and what was the
other one? Uh? It was.

Speaker 4 (01:43:02):
The Death Proof you mean? Yeah, death Proof.

Speaker 5 (01:43:04):
I didn't think of it. Yeah, when that movie came out.
I was a big fan of that movie. I actually
been so much fun met you know, most of the
people that are in and I had met and and
I love the way they did that grindhouse style like
stuff at the beginning when they shore trailers and stuff.
So I think that that way.

Speaker 4 (01:43:21):
And I just want to point out another.

Speaker 5 (01:43:23):
Russell yes in another Russell Yes, Kurt Russell, believe it
or not, lives down the street from me. Really Kurt
Russell and Goldie Hawn. I guess I shouldn't say down
the street from me because I live in the poorer
section of town and he lives in the more expansion.
But it's only like a mile away down the street.

Speaker 4 (01:43:41):
You're you're on the wrong or maybe the right side
of the tracks.

Speaker 5 (01:43:44):
Yeah, there are no tracks but.

Speaker 18 (01:43:47):
Let me sidebarred real real quick. I worked on a
film with Goldie in Chicago in the early eighties. In
the eighties, about the time I was doing improv, she
made a movie called Wildcats where she played the coach
of a football team. Yeah, and I was one of
the referees running up and down. You know, I was

(01:44:10):
like a glorified extra. But she was so nice. She
ate with us, you know, it was it was they
had a whole bunch of extras because it was supposed
to be a football game. She came and sat at
the table and ate with us. Halfway through the meal,
stopped to take a call from Kurt Russell on the
world's largest portable phone. Just very down to earth in

(01:44:32):
the sweetest woman. There was such a nice experience. So
please tell her when you see her.

Speaker 4 (01:44:38):
I tell you, I'm joying it.

Speaker 5 (01:44:39):
I'll ever see her again. I saw the two of
them once.

Speaker 18 (01:44:42):
We'll just go over to her house and not I
have a message from Bill by Russell.

Speaker 5 (01:44:47):
One thing about pomp Springs is like everybody like has
houses here, literally like, yeah, what's in Michael Douglas Kirk
Douglas used to live across the street from them, I
don't know. Just everybody like has had a house here.
It's filled with famous people. But what you guys, I
should say. You can follow Bill on his Instagram. It's
Bill x Russell. I think I wrote it down right. Yeah, yes,
Bill with an X russell instead of the D.

Speaker 18 (01:45:09):
And I set up my Instagram before I made the
decision to use my middle initial professionally because you know
there are other Bill Russell's.

Speaker 5 (01:45:18):
Yeah, that way you come right up too. Yeah, so
it works out better. That's okay. It makes you sound
like a porn star when you have Bill x Russell,
and that's okay with me. And that that works so
you don't have to worry about it. So we've got
three minutes left. What are we going to promote?

Speaker 6 (01:45:33):
So?

Speaker 5 (01:45:33):
What do else you got coming up that I should
make sure I let everybody know about.

Speaker 18 (01:45:37):
Uh, Steve Murlow's Unseen Have I mentioned that yet? That's
being distributed by Bayview.

Speaker 5 (01:45:44):
Oh that's good. That's a pretty good distributor it is.

Speaker 4 (01:45:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:45:48):
They also distribute another film, I men, they Came Back
from Somewhere, which I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:45:54):
That's the one that's kind.

Speaker 18 (01:45:54):
Of a Plan nine from Outer Space parody and I
play the alien Supreme Leader, sort of a ming the
merciless type.

Speaker 4 (01:46:03):
One of my favorite roles.

Speaker 18 (01:46:05):
I get to chew, I get to choose so much
scenery that part. But Mayview distributes that well. But it's
a It's available on YouTube movies. They're they're Special Movies channel,
but it's free.

Speaker 5 (01:46:18):
There you go. Also, we should give it. I want
to give a plug. I guess you were in Evil Lurks.
You were in Evil Lurks.

Speaker 4 (01:46:23):
Yes, nice, you mentioned that Evil Evil Lurks.

Speaker 18 (01:46:28):
Chris Shearn, who made vick Efects, was part of the
production team behind Evil Lurks.

Speaker 4 (01:46:35):
In fact, he did a large part of the writing
and the editing and everything.

Speaker 5 (01:46:38):
So you guys should watch Evil Lurks. It's a fun movie.
Aaron Hawkins diad he's a friend of mine on Yeah,
and my part.

Speaker 18 (01:46:44):
In that is radically different from what you saw me
play in the trailer for vickyfex.

Speaker 5 (01:46:50):
Which is good though. It shows that you're a real
actor and you can do anything right.

Speaker 20 (01:46:54):
Yes, thank you for saying that you get to do everything,
because a lot of people, even even our last guest,
when he was talking he said he would like to
work with Jack Nicholson, and I'm a huge Jack Nicholson fan,
but basically plays the same character in every role.

Speaker 5 (01:47:08):
That he plays. You know, he can do that because
he's Jack Nicholson. But you you're an actor, you can actually,
you know, do a bunch of different things. And I
think that that's a tribute because nowadays most people can't
thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:47:19):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 5 (01:47:20):
So everybody follow Bill, Follow Bill on Instagram, Bill x Russell,
check out all the different films. And if you're at
a convention and you see him representing Signal magazine, make
sure you say hello. Please do and we want to
thank you for coming on the show and we'll see
