Yes, it's a true awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I mean that says that it's a true story, not
that there's killing him all.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You know what I mean? And what's the what's the premise? Essentially, so.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
She was fifteen years old and she got caught up,
you know, with an older he was like in his
twenties and they had a baby and he was a
bit abusive and he did some horrible things to the baby,
and to protect the baby, Alyssa decided to give up
her child when she was fifteen for adoption, and seventeen
(05:53):
years later she wanted to meet her parents and Melissa
stayed with Steven even though he's abusive.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
And had to other kids with her, and uh, she
came back.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
And the story, I don't want to tell you the
whole story, but the father and the daughter that was
adopted kind of connects in a very you know.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Horrible way.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Oh wow, Alyssa.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Ends up, you know, being the whistleblower and kind of
telling the police because it's illegal. You know, it's terrible, horrifying,
And then they had a baby.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
It's a lot like all.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
True, and there's an ass murder.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Like I don't want to tell you the whole thing,
but it's it was really hard to do. But Elizabeth,
the director of Rome, she was incredible and she was
there with me and we shared, like our heart to
tell the story because you know, I was an abusive
relationship for four or five years and I understand how
(06:53):
it's so hard to leave.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
And at first I judged, you know, my character, because
I judge myself, you know.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
But you know, sometimes people are so mentally sick and manipulative.
And you know, Alissa's is a victim and Katie was
the victim, which was his daughter.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh well, you can watch Husband Father Killer tomorrow in Lifetime.
We're going to take a quick break and I more

Mario Lopez here talking about the new Lifetime movie Husband
Father Killer with actress Jackie Cruz, and it's based on
a true story. Did did you ever get the opportunity
to meet the real Melissa?
Speaker 7 (07:29):
I did not, but Elizabeth talks to her and she
told me, you know, she she told me what she's
you know, talk to her about and she's I hope
that she's happy with how the film came out. You know,
we wanted to to show her truth and to show
the world that, you know, if this is going on
(07:50):
in your family, you can ask for help.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
And there's this The Rain, which is about you know, abuse,
and you can look it up at the end of
the film and.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
There's a hotline and everything so I just hope that
you know, people get out of this, that there is

Whatamaro Lopez here got actress Jackie Cruz on zoom with
me from the new Lifetime movie Husband Father Killer and
also in the works a horror movie called Woozy Can You.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Tell Me Crazy?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
I got it at the same time, like, while I'm
filming this movie and this is a horror blake, and
like my character is a dancer, right, And I'm like, sure,
I'm fantastic.
Speaker 1 (08:46):

Speaker 6 (08:47):
My agent is like, you better tell them you're fantastic.
I'm like, I haven't done modern ballets since college, but
all right, yeah great. So at the end of the film,
like at the end of working on Husband Father Killer.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
I would go to dance class for two hours and
I would release, you know, you're a dancer.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
I would release all my stress from the day through
my movement. And that was also therapeutic. For me.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
So it was kind of beautiful how they connected, and
I thought a film after film, and then right after that,
I went straight to New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (09:18):

I remember nobody was there, you know, nobody was there
for my role, right I was maybe the first one
there or the last one.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I have no idea. And then I remember the casting.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Director, Jenny Newson being so young, so I'm thinking she's
like an assistant. I haven't auditioned since two thousand and six,
so this is twenty twelve.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
So I gave up on acting and focused on music.
And then like I was just went in there.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
You know.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
I asked my brother to help me with my New
York accent. You know it's very New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm born in Queens, but I lost it.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
He's like, you're too malabusis so then he helped me
out with my New York and then I just remember
saying two lines and then she just made me do
it over and over and she loved it, you know.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
And I went out there and I called my brother.
I was like, Yo, I think I got this, son, I.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Think I got good.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
And then two weeks later they gave me the role.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
And like I told you, it was two lines, and
I thought I was going to be a day player,
but it was survivor up in there, and I made it.

in his third floor room, and the manager said that

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well, Courtney Lopez here, what is the Obscure holiday for
October eighteenth.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Honey, it's no beard day. Oh, I'm celebrating me too.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I shaved mine this morning.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
You know I'm okay with a shadow, like I can
rock a shadow. I've never actually rocked a full beard.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
That's because your dad told me I can't grow facial
hair going too much.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So stupid, so stupid, and not true.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I can.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I They want to keep me clean cut for some reason,
but I like to have a little scruff.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
But then you say it scratches you.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I love you with a little five o'clock shadow, but
then it is so painful.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You're literally red in your face.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
When you kiss me, it's literally like you're taking nails
to my face.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Thanks, Orrio Courtney Lopez.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Your SNL keeps bringing out the big guns for their
fiftieth season tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Someone we were just talking about who's very busy. Host
is Michael Keaton.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Oh he's got his He got to start in comedy,
No doubt he can bring the laughs. The musical guest
is Billie Eilish, so it should be a good one.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
You're all Mario Courtney Lopez.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Top for another fake to be when the topics are
made up on the spot, but the passion is real.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Who's prone? Who's continent? Uh, Courtney, what do you want
to be? You can pick.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I don't want to be anything that I am trying
to be trying.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
That's you're pro now, so you'll be pro Lopez, you
will be con fifteen seconds to make your case.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Ten second Robotto afterwards.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Your topic today is forgetting the topic which I just did,
Wow and go No. The topic is facial hair.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Having facial hair, to me is just an amazing thing.
If you're willing and able to have it, you can
camouflage a lot of things that don't want to be seen.
And that's why in my next life I will be
coming back as a man.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Thank you, Ms. Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The thing about facial hair is that it's incredibly bad
in the hygiene department.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
You can grow stuff in there. It gets mad itchy.
It's like sandpaper to your wife's face. It's not a
good look, especially if it comes out red.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
That is rude. Sandpaper to a wife's face can be
a nice, exfoliating, free treatment that you don't have to
pay for at the dermatologists or the facialist.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You know you do you. I think it's polarizing.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
More Mario Lopez coming.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Up, Mario Lopez, you e forgot to mention this.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
We were talking about SNL in last week's episode with
Ariana Grande was their biggest since twenty twenty one, five
point six million viewers live and that doesn't count who
watched on Peacock. Ariana spoof of Espresso has been going
viral on social media. It's got more than five hundred
million viewers across all their platforms.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
She's pretty funny. I gotta admit, and keep in mind
she had about ten years of sitcom experience. That's true,
so it's not like she's a novice going in there's
she's pretty well rounded.
Speaker 2 (18:39):

The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown or any Charlie Brown cartoon
for that matter. The music, the music is kind of
I don't know why it makes me a little bit sad.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Well, I think it's nostalgic.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
You take you, dear childhood, It's probably not sad.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
It's probably it's probably like a weird, bittersweet kind of Yeah,
that's maybe what you know.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
It's crazy. My sister who was in town for your
star I don't know how she had on my old jewelry,
but she brought me a jewelry that I had from
like middle school and high school and holding it in
my hand like made you feel like a child again.
It was just the weirdest thing.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Is this true? Is this a true story?
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Yes, it's a true awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I mean that says that it's a true story, not
that there's killing him all.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You know what I mean? And what's the what's the premise? Essentially, so.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
She was fifteen years old and she got caught up,
you know, with an older he was like in his
twenties and they had a baby and he was a
bit abusive and he did some horrible things to the baby,
and to protect the baby, Alyssa decided to give up
her child when she was fifteen for adoption, and seventeen
(05:53):
years later she wanted to meet her parents and Melissa
stayed with Steven even though he's abusive.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
And had to other kids with her, and uh, she
came back.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
And the story, I don't want to tell you the
whole story, but the father and the daughter that was
adopted kind of connects in a very you know.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Horrible way.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Oh wow, Alyssa.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Ends up, you know, being the whistleblower and kind of
telling the police because it's illegal. You know, it's terrible, horrifying,
And then they had a baby.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
It's a lot like all.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
True, and there's an ass murder.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Like I don't want to tell you the whole thing,
but it's it was really hard to do. But Elizabeth,
the director of Rome, she was incredible and she was
there with me and we shared, like our heart to
tell the story because you know, I was an abusive
relationship for four or five years and I understand how
(06:53):
it's so hard to leave.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
And at first I judged, you know, my character, because
I judge myself, you know.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
But you know, sometimes people are so mentally sick and manipulative.
And you know, Alissa's is a victim and Katie was
the victim, which was his daughter.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh well, you can watch Husband Father Killer tomorrow in Lifetime.
We're going to take a quick break and I more
with Jackie Cruz.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Mario Lopez will be right back.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Mario Lopez here talking about the new Lifetime movie Husband
Father Killer with actress Jackie Cruz, and it's based on
a true story. Did did you ever get the opportunity
to meet the real Melissa?
Speaker 7 (07:29):
I did not, but Elizabeth talks to her and she
told me, you know, she she told me what she's
you know, talk to her about and she's I hope
that she's happy with how the film came out. You know,
we wanted to to show her truth and to show
the world that, you know, if this is going on
(07:50):
in your family, you can ask for help.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
And there's this The Rain, which is about you know, abuse,
and you can look it up at the end of
the film and.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
There's a hotline and everything so I just hope that
you know, people get out of this, that there is
help and that you're not alone.

Whatamaro Lopez here got actress Jackie Cruz on zoom with
me from the new Lifetime movie Husband Father Killer and
also in the works a horror movie called Woozy Can You.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Tell Me Crazy?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
I got it at the same time, like, while I'm
filming this movie and this is a horror blake, and
like my character is a dancer, right, And I'm like, sure,
I'm fantastic.
Speaker 1 (08:46):

Speaker 6 (08:47):
My agent is like, you better tell them you're fantastic.
I'm like, I haven't done modern ballets since college, but
all right, yeah great. So at the end of the film,
like at the end of working on Husband Father Killer.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
I would go to dance class for two hours and
I would release, you know, you're a dancer.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
I would release all my stress from the day through
my movement. And that was also therapeutic. For me.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
So it was kind of beautiful how they connected, and
I thought a film after film, and then right after that,
I went straight to New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (09:18):

I remember nobody was there, you know, nobody was there
for my role, right I was maybe the first one
there or the last one.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I have no idea. And then I remember the casting.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Director, Jenny Newson being so young, so I'm thinking she's
like an assistant. I haven't auditioned since two thousand and six,
so this is twenty twelve.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
So I gave up on acting and focused on music.
And then like I was just went in there.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
You know.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
I asked my brother to help me with my New
York accent. You know it's very New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm born in Queens, but I lost it.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
He's like, you're too malabusis so then he helped me
out with my New York and then I just remember
saying two lines and then she just made me do
it over and over and she loved it, you know.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
And I went out there and I called my brother.
I was like, Yo, I think I got this, son, I.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Think I got good.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
And then two weeks later they gave me the role.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
And like I told you, it was two lines, and
I thought I was going to be a day player,
but it was survivor up in there, and I made it.

You're all Mario Lopez with details about the nine to
one to one call before Liam Payne's death on.
Speaker 1 (14:41):

Speaker 2 (14:44):
So the music world was still in shock over Liam's passing.
Reports are coming in about the nine to one one

The hotel manager said he was having a complete meltown
in his third floor room, and the manager said that
Liam appeared to be overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol. Staff

to three days. Oh, such a devastating, tragic incident that
we're dealing with and hard to process. So young, only
thirty one years old. I've had the opportunity to interview
him a few times. Such a such a nice kid
and such a nice guy, and you never know what
people are dealing with. God bless him and his family
(15:27):

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Mario Lopez will be right back.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well, Courtney Lopez here, what is the Obscure holiday for
October eighteenth.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Honey, it's no beard day. Oh, I'm celebrating me too.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I shaved mine this morning.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
You know I'm okay with a shadow, like I can
rock a shadow. I've never actually rocked a full beard.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
That's because your dad told me I can't grow facial
hair going too much.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So stupid, so stupid, and not true.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I can.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I They want to keep me clean cut for some reason,
but I like to have a little scruff.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
But then you say it scratches you.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I love you with a little five o'clock shadow, but
then it is so painful.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You're literally red in your face.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
When you kiss me, it's literally like you're taking nails
to my face.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Thanks, Orrio Courtney Lopez.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Your SNL keeps bringing out the big guns for their
fiftieth season tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Someone we were just talking about who's very busy. Host
is Michael Keaton.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Oh he's got his He got to start in comedy,
No doubt he can bring the laughs. The musical guest
is Billie Eilish, so it should be a good one.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
You're all Mario Courtney Lopez.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Top for another fake to be when the topics are
made up on the spot, but the passion is real.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Who's prone? Who's continent? Uh, Courtney, what do you want
to be? You can pick.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I don't want to be anything that I am trying
to be trying.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
That's you're pro now, so you'll be pro Lopez, you
will be con fifteen seconds to make your case.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Ten second Robotto afterwards.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Your topic today is forgetting the topic which I just did,
Wow and go No. The topic is facial hair.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Having facial hair, to me is just an amazing thing.
If you're willing and able to have it, you can
camouflage a lot of things that don't want to be seen.
And that's why in my next life I will be
coming back as a man.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Thank you, Ms. Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The thing about facial hair is that it's incredibly bad
in the hygiene department.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
You can grow stuff in there. It gets mad itchy.
It's like sandpaper to your wife's face. It's not a
good look, especially if it comes out red.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
That is rude. Sandpaper to a wife's face can be
a nice, exfoliating, free treatment that you don't have to
pay for at the dermatologists or the facialist.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You know you do you. I think it's polarizing.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
More Mario Lopez coming.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Up, Mario Lopez, you e forgot to mention this.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
We were talking about SNL in last week's episode with
Ariana Grande was their biggest since twenty twenty one, five
point six million viewers live and that doesn't count who
watched on Peacock. Ariana spoof of Espresso has been going
viral on social media. It's got more than five hundred
million viewers across all their platforms.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
She's pretty funny. I gotta admit, and keep in mind
she had about ten years of sitcom experience. That's true,
so it's not like she's a novice going in there's
she's pretty well rounded.
Speaker 2 (18:39):

The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown or any Charlie Brown cartoon
for that matter. The music, the music is kind of
I don't know why it makes me a little bit sad.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Well, I think it's nostalgic.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
You take you, dear childhood, It's probably not sad.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
It's probably it's probably like a weird, bittersweet kind of Yeah,
that's maybe what you know.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
It's crazy. My sister who was in town for your
star I don't know how she had on my old jewelry,
but she brought me a jewelry that I had from
like middle school and high school and holding it in
my hand like made you feel like a child again.
It was just the weirdest thing.
