live on the Free I heard it's.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Will and we've got a very special guest here in Yeah,
Marlon Wayans, who joins us.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hey, Marlon, what's man? How you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
We're good, We're good now, Marlon. Scary movie trailers dropped
Marlon for twenty five years. I've wanted to greet you
in a very very specific way.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
And we're bad. Beat you to the post. You telegraph
that one, bro, so wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I've seen the trailer for Scary Movies, and pretty much
the first joke is a gender pronoun joke. I just
thought it was interesting because obviously scary movie one very
very different era in comedy. Generally speaking, everything was on
the table. Did you find it difficult writing jokes for
this one? My guess is no. But did that change
the writing process for you guys?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I think when you make it, it's just inclusive the world.
It's just generation and our generation. So it's having that
conversation that you know, the unwoke have been trying to
have with the woke in a funny way. So you
make sure you represent each one of those characters in
the movies.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
So you see it as a conversation.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Absolutely. You can't run from it. You have to address
the elephants in the room. Yeah, it's something for everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, no, yeah, Well like the first one Scary Movie One,
it was a phenomenon. Everyone was talking about the movie.
You had to go and see and the feeling that
you got is that you and your brother, especially short
of having a lot of fun on set. Is that
true like where their moments? Are there moments where you're
filming where you just can't keep a straight face or
is it pretty serious?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
No? We always go there to The whole purpose is
to try and break each other, make each other laugh
in the scene. I know every time I do a
scene with Sean, I want to break them. You know.
I'm glad I wasn't in some of his scenes because
he would have broke me. Yeah, he's really funny in
the movie, and it was just good to laugh again
on set and challenge each other. It's crazy that it's
(02:12):
been twenty years, but I think we're so much more
season than we were when we first came in. So
we still have that the goofy and the fun, but
it's precision it's not just all over the place. Yeah, man,
I need the world to laugh again. This is for everybody.
This is for black, white, Latino little people. We got
(02:33):
everybody represented here, everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Hey, Molly, can I ask You're talking about gifting around
with your brother and I feel I say, it's ten.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Of you boys, five boys, five girls.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Can you paint a picture for me what it was
like growing up in the Waynes House.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Picture one flew over the Cuckoo's Nest with black people
and that's a movie.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That's a movie.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
And my mother being the craziest of all, she's Jack Nicker.
We had this talent, We had this gift of how
we made fun about the things in our neighborhood. We
grew up in the very toxic place you got. You know,
in the projects of New York City. There's guns, violences, drugs,
the gangs is everything there and here we are going.
You know what's funny about this? Yeah, And when we're
(03:20):
able to do that and put that lens on pop
culture and put that lens on characters and project that
to an audience, then you know you're onto something. And
that's Wayne as brand as you were.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Something I take from your career, Malin is that you
love taking risks, and it kind of it appears to
me that you're you're fearless, like you started doing stand
up when when you were a teenager.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
When I was a teenager, I was gabbling in stand up,
but I didn't really become a stand up comedian until
I was thirty eight years old.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
What I love about stand up is it prepares me
for when I'm writing something like scary movie, that the
audience is in my head and I know how to
be fearless telling these jokes that I don't succumb to
the cancel culture, but I think the fear you have
to be fearless when you do comedy, and that's what
stand up gives you, gives you that I don't give
(04:13):
a I know people gonna laugh.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It's also an amazing array of jokes and an all
out assault on anything that has been anywhere near the
horror genre. In the last I'm gonna say twenty years,
even just in the trailer, which is we are Today,
I would go and.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Get what we call equal opportunity offenders, so everybody gets it.
Don't worry, your turn is coming. And I think if
you make it even then, everybody's gonna have a good time.
We're gonna laugh with and at each other this summer.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And play plays. Come down to Australia. Man, we'd love
to have for another tour.
Speaker 2 (04:46):

love the way y'all say my name. Malon, No, Milon,
malam like a fish, like a fish, Malon.
