And Wayne Brady told us about his new son that
he also recently told his family about. Yeah, you can

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Mario Lopez joining on Zoom from Beverly Hills Cop AXLF
actor Judge Ryan Hold, Welcome to the show Man.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Thank you? We're doing great.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
We had a screening and it played so well. I'm
very excited about it. I think it's the best one
we've done since the first one. So yeah, we're excited.
That's never been a movie before either, which is fine.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
The screening is that the one that was literally in
Beverly Hills at the Beverly Hills Police Department.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Yeah, and then the mayor was there and they made
it officially Beverly Hills Cop Day And I said, does
that mean we don't need permits anymore?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And he said, bust out the card when you need it.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's it's pretty mind blowing to think that it's forty years, right,
since the original eight years.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I absolutely love that. What what's Rosewood up to in
this movie?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Well, he's not as naive anymore.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
He's uh, he's still very affable fellow, but he's a
badass detective. I mean, I think I think Axel rubbed
off on him and he's uh. But what happens is
he he breaks a case that breaks a lot. That's
kind of all like it's Axel against Tremendous Power again.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Basically, well, you can stream Beverly Hills cop Axel F
right now on Netflix. Cann play a few more songs,
then more would Judge Reinhold more? Mario Lopez coming up
talking Beverly Hills cop AXLF with actor Judge Reinhold. You're on,
Mario Lopez and Judge do viewers need to be familiar
with the original or the franchise to enjoy this one?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Or can neubies just jump in?
Speaker 7 (04:33):
We were so interested in having people discover the franchise.
We made sure that that wasn't necessary because we wanted.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
All of this, wanted them to go back and.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
A new generation that hasn't isn't aware of the other ones.
We wanted them to go back and want to see those,
you know. And I'm actually beyond the business part, which
I don't have anything to do with it. I'm I'm
excited about a new generation experiencing the first one because
we're so proud of the first one, because it.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
It really launched a genre.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
You know, at the time, Mario at the time in
eighty four, mixing bringing in the action and the.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Comedy together, the tonal changes.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
You know, we didn't know if that would work, and
it was exciting and edgy, and it paid off and
we kind of launched a genre.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You know, you really did, because they were all the
all the cop shows were real, or the movies I
should say were were very serious, and they didn't they
didn't blend the two. So you totally launched a genre
to huge success. All Right, we're gonna play some music
and come back with Judge Reinhold. Getting back to Judge Reinhold,
who's hanging on zoom talking Beverly Hills, cop axel F
Mario Lopez here and Judge.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I was just curious in doing this movie or even
in the original.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Was there a lot of improv on set working with
Eddie or did would you pretty much stuck to the script?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Oh, this one, yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Or any of them the tour?
Speaker 7 (05:56):
Yeah, on this one. Well, whenever you have a director
that's one of the writers, you don't really get to
improvise too much because they're.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Pretty precious with the words. But ed Eddie did You're
not going to tell eddieone.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, you can get away with it.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
And I know it sounds hypey, but you got to
see for yourself. But Eddie is very, very funny in
this movie. I was It's just so much fun to
see him play Axel again.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
A Mario Lopez catching up with Judge Ryan hold this hour.
Now we've talked Beverly Hills, Cop Back So Left, but
you've actually been in a few.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Of my favorite films.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I mean, A Fast Time has got to be not
just one of the best soundtracks, but one of the
greatest high school films.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It represents such an awesome era.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
The mall no longer essentially exists, and when you look
at Fast Times now with the mall and you work it,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It was just so awesome at the time.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Did you feel you were doing something special and it
would be a classic or did it take a few
years to realize that, Judge.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Well, we didn't know what the eighties were, you know,
but we did feel right. But we did feel that
we were doing something special. Because Cameron Crow masqueraded as
a senior in a Long Beach high school for a year.
I don't know if you know the story or not,
but he uh, he was working for Rolling Stone and
(07:19):
so he was hired to create an expose of high
school life, and in his twenties he still looked like
he could pull up being a senior, and so he
spent a whole whole school year transcribing all these great
conversations and stuff, and they made it into the film.
So we felt like we were authentic that way because
(07:39):
we knew a lot of the dialogue came from the kids.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
So it was so awesome and still holds up.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
All right, Judge, hang on, God, one more thing I
want to ask quick break, and we're going to come
back and wrap it up with Judge Reynolds.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
More. Mario Lopez coming up.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
We're wrapping up with Judge Ryan hold your own, Mario Lopez.
And before we go, where are you from?
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Originally, Judge, originally Fredericksburg, Virginia, outside of d C. But
at that time it was rural Virginia. Yeah, and I
went down. I got a job at the Burt Reynolds
Dinner Theater down in Jupiter, Florida. I was one of
the first apprentices down there.
Speaker 4 (08:15):

Speaker 2 (08:15):
And what age you come to l A.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
People that I met at that theater, James Best, who
was in Dukes of Hazzard, who was actually he played
a sheriff in Dukes of Hazzard, but it was a
very serious, really terrific, accomplished actor.
Speaker 2 (08:32):

Wasn't that? Yeah, that was him.
Speaker 2 (08:36):

How are you might good?
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Doing well?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Thank you for taking the time, you look amazing. Congrats
on the new podcast. What inspired you to start rewatching
Melroe's Place.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Well, NIE's been trying to get us to do dinner
for thirty years, so that a.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Friend of mine called me out of the blue and
said I had a dream that you did a rewatch podcast,
and I thought that's interesting, and I texted Laura and
Daphne and within days we had a meeting.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
At iHeart so meant to be meant to be.
Speaker 9 (13:20):
We look forward to any excuse to hang out and
be together, and certainly in the podcast we get to
hang out every week, but we also get to go
down the memory lane together and go revisit all the episodes,
and it's just sort of a dream, like, what, what
better job is there?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
No, it's fun. Yeah, well, welcome to the iHeart family
and the show.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It really was such an iconic show and the capsule
of that time.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I even use the reference still because.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
When I got my first place in la in Burbank,
that was a place called park Place, and ICED to
refer to.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
It all the time.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
It was like Melrose Place because everybody was young, all
these good look people, they were from different shows and
all this stuff. So when you start referring it and
just using it as part of your vernacular, and this
is what thirty some odd years here, I still use
a I was like, yeah, like you lived in the
partment comp it was like.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Melroe's place all this time. So then you know you're
onto something special right there too.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Hold on, ladies, I got a lot to ask you,
but right now we gotta play some more music. John
Maril Lopezz my guest today, our Courtney Thorn Smid, Laura
Leighton and Daphne Zuniga from Melro's Place and the new
podcast Still the Place and looking back? Does do you
feel the show still holds up?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Is?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Is?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Are you happy with your performances?
Speaker 10 (14:30):
Well that's notice Yeah, those are two very completely different questions,
like I hate I used to hate watching myself, and
you know, we watch one at a time so we
don't get confused.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So we've just.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Watched it so far. But I think for us, or
I'll speak for myself, it's it holds up because it's
the nineties. And I mean you know this too with
your old show, It's like there's something that makes it
nostalgic and fun to revisit, and then also like, oh
my god, can you believe we did that back then?
So there's like an extra layer of entertainment. You know,
(15:02):
it wasn't like serious show or anything.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
There's so many elements of it that it's a sign
of the times, Like beyond just the physical stuff, but
what we're wearing or what, you know, the style here,
there's so many things that are a sign of the times,
and it's really fun to go down that path.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
And we were there, we were you.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Know, youthful, we were in our twenties at the time,
and so it's definitely looking back at looking through a
different lens. But it's been really fun to revisit the
nineties that way, and we sort of feel like it's
a it's a gift that you know, not everybody has
their twenties on film to go back, and even though
we're playing characters, it's still like going back in time.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
In a really unique way.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
That's sort of specialist to be able to do that
and have this shared experience that we get to revisit again.
But I don't think any of us ever will go, oh,
I really liked my performance, you know, like I think
it's really hard to watch yourself no matter what. But
it's it's really fun to do it after a lot
of yours, a lot of yours, yeah, and just go oh,
look at that and that you know, we all were
(16:05):
children and just sort of you get to appreciate it
and not be so critical and just really sort of
have fun with it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Absolutely, you get to smile and enjoy.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
You have a whole new perspective and take on it well.
Still the Place available now on iHeartRadio. We're going to
take a quick break, coming back with Courtney, Laura and Daphne.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
More fun on the way on with Mario Lopez.

Here I got out with the hosts of the podcast
Still the Place, actresses Courtney Thorne Smith, Laura Leyton, and
Daphne Zuniga. Now Melos Plays debuted thirty two years ago.
What do you each remember about your initial audition?
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Okay, I'm gonna so I started on the show and
both of these gorgeous ladies came in a little bit later,
I had auditioning for something else and it was one of
those things of your audition every day and didn't get it,
didn't get and I didn't get it.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
I was so disappointed, and Aaron Spelling took me aside
and said, I'm.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Going to work with you, and I just thought whatever.
Speaker 11 (17:02):
The next day I woke up, it was a stack
of scripts and Meloe's Place was one. Wow, perfectly like
I went in day like the love and then it
was it was done.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
I was cast and it was done, so I had
to give it that bumpy thing to find a good thing.
It was such a great old.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Hollywood that's an old school Hollywood story.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yes, I love it.

Daphne Zuniga. And is it true CBS is planning a
revival and if so, would you uh all perhaps be
a returning.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
We're definitely, uh there's a revival in the works.
Speaker 8 (17:43):

Start alongside Lucille Ball in one of her only dramatic roles.
Stone Pillow actually remember that. What do you uh, what
sticks out in your mind about working with her?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Well.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
I used to write fan letters to her when I
was a little girl, and would get form sort of
like little postcards.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Back, you know note. Yeah, yeah, I remember those.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
She was just such a pro. I remember we shot
in New York City. She played a homeless woman and
I was a social worker who got her off the street.
And I remember, I remember so much. One of them
was we were doing a seamo were walking down the street.
I remember we were on the Upper East Side, and
she kept saying, I can't hear you, honey, I can't
(18:50):
hear you speak. And then she would say if I
can't hear you, how is anyone else going to hear you?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
And I thought, oh my god, she hates me.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
She's gonna fire me. And then after that she just
was like we were sitting in our you know, on
the set, around in our chairs, and she say, oh, honey,
you're just perfect for this. That's going to go on
my home reel, you know, whenever I would flow up
because I was so nervous.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, she was a real pro.
Speaker 8 (19:12):
She fainted in port authority because she was layered with
all these clothes, and so I went down on the
ground and she wasn't answering, wasn't responding. I called her
in her character name, and finally I just said, Lucy's
not answering, and then they cut and the director said, Okay,
that's it. We're ending for the day. You know, she's tired.
(19:34):
She was seventy six at the time.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
She comes to the ambulance is there and she's like,
what are you doing George? Why did you take the
lights down? We got to get our day. Wow, you
were finishing your day. We can't rent this again, it's
too expensive. And we back up and she finished the.
