Speaker 4 (02:09):
I think we have. We had him on once. It
was a while ago, though it was a lot. It
was like fifteen years. We've been on a long time.
It's our twentieth years.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
A so's looking very rough. Yeah, we were in our
twenties at least I was when this show started. But
overall there's a lot to celebrate when it comes to
Stephen Baldwin. But for me, before we get into anything,
because you asked me, a lot of people ask me
if I'm from the East Coast and I'm not. I'm
just I'm from Sampedro area.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Well, you did play a character on television from the
East Coast, so that may be where.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
My one part on CSIGN New York where I, oh wow,
you would not believe it. I played an overweight Greek
sports host on the East Coast.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
So that could be where you got My name was
Rico Savallis.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
You've obviously slimmed down.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
No, no, I pretty much looked exactly the same, But
that was my one dalliance. But being from the San
Pedro area and knowing the usual suspects as such from
nineteen ninety five, what I really want to know is
when you guys were making that movie, did you know
you were making a really special movie. You made a
lot of movies in your life, your Famili's made a

(03:18):
ton of movies. I mean, you've you've lived a lifetime
in the arts, in cinema, but do you know when
you're I mean, sometimes when we're doing a show, we
feel like, yeah, we're doing a pretty good show. Do
you have a grasp on it when you're making a
movie like that.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
They called me up and they said, were you know
this guy Brian Singer, who the year before had won
like the Audience Choice Award at the sun Dance Film Festival.
So they said, hey, they're doing this film. It's this
guy who's a hot director. He's coming up in the
writer's great and it's called The Usual Suspects. It's a
gangster movie. But at the time they already had a

(03:58):
Spacey and uh Gabriel Burne, so they had two guys
I really respected and said to myself, well, I'd be
crazy not to work with these guys, so pardon me.
But the weird thing was I had to go meet
Brian Singer. So back then, when I was just starting out,
I really had a chip on my shoulder. I was,

(04:18):
you know, Sean Penn was a wiss and I was
going to show you know, I was going to show
Hollywood what real acting was, you know, and Alec was
my big brother and blah blah blah blah. So I
go and meet Brian Singer, and I basically do everything
I can to to not get the job. I say
to a singer, I go like, hey, well you know
my character. I'm going to do this, this, this, And
when I was done, he looks at me, he goes,
are you done? I go, he goes, You're going to

(04:38):
do exactly what I tell you. One of my first
early Hollywood lessons. I was like, yes, you got it.
But it was cool because I was just kind of
seeing if he was going to let me bowl him over.
But Brian was not that thing. That's so to answer
your question, no, there was no way to know it
would become a double Oscar winning you know, first film

(05:00):
by Christopher macquarie who's now gone on to do everything
with Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible and blah blah blah
blah blah. But when the cooler thing was for me
was if you see Benitil del Toro in the film,
he's so over the yeah fence to was. He was brilliant,
And you know, I walk down the street and everywhere

(05:20):
I go people go say it, say it, give me
the cays younging and yaning it, you know, and I
turn around like you know that. That's a fun iconic
moment which little I don't know if you've ever heard
this factoid when you literally watch the film and you
see the me do the gimme the keys and then
we start to laugh and I hit beneath you when
he hits it. That's a rehearsal that was filmed so good.

(05:44):
But that's the brilliance of the director. He literally goes, Okay, guys,
we're going to rehearse. So we're not thinking, oh no,
you're lying to just like we're like, whatever this is,
it's for lighting, it's bs, you know, I mean, but
the performance is and that I'll never forget asking Brian
after the fact, saying well, why would you have used that?
He goes, When you guys started laughing, he goes, it

(06:05):
shows the audience that even though you were bad guys,
you were good guys. You were friends, you know, like
you knew each other, which is a very interesting psychology
to apply to this. So yeah, so no no idea
would ever become I mean, it's on.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Even with Peter postelweight walking around and all that.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
Oh he was the best. How about a British guy
playing in Indian you know, blah blah. I mean, you
know this was everybody showed up with like amazing characters.
But my character, for me, I had a lot more
of those gimme the keys moments, but I had to
pull it way back because it Beneathsia Rania was so
you know, like you know.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Oh yeah, he'll flip you.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
He'll flip you for real, you know, he's like just
and then that scene where like we're lighting the cop
car on fire and I'm going give me the keys,
give me the key now, sorry, give me give me
the money. Remember we take the jewels from what's his name?
And we and we take the cash as well. And
beneath show didn't have the line give them the money,
give them money. He's almost like bouncing a shotgun off
the actors face going He's like he just was improv right.

(07:10):
But the movie was a lot of you know, all
the scripted stuff was said, but a lot of it
was improved.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Is the uh I'm sure you've seen it. The thing
that's making it, you know, it'll show up in my
algorithm because we probably talk about the usual suspects too
much so it pops up. But the lineup too much
and the lineup scene and kind of there was there
were like some issues with the lineup scene. I think
according to the one instagram I saw, maybe there was

(07:37):
someone that had a little bit of a little bit
of a gas problem at the time.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Is that a true story or now Kevin Kevin in
that story. So Kevin one of our famous actors on
the picture. Oh, I gotta be careful enough because you know,
he likes to uh take things that are said in
public and you know, monetize it for his stand up
comedian and you know kind of stuff. But he is
the one that perpetuated some as I understand it, he

(08:03):
perpetuated the story that somebody had fletulence happening within the
light up. But it's not the case. See yeah, it's
just not there.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
We go, that's breaking news right there. Put that on
the instagram.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
It wasn't true, and if it is true, it was
silent but deadly. But that's my story and I'm sticking
with it.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
When was the did you guys all see it together?
Did you see a screening together? Do you remember seeing
it was the premiere. Yeah, so that's the first time
that you saw it was at the premiere.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
The first time I saw it was at the premire.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
And what did you think when you walked down?

Speaker 5 (08:31):
I thought the audience's reaction was the first thing you
catch the vibe of and the cool port was it was?
It was We couldn't tell how noir. It was like
you can see the lighting from Tom Siegel and you
could see how you could tell performances were good. But
like to answer your question, you know, when you're in it,

(08:52):
you don't know, you know what I mean, until like
you actually see it on the screen. But uh no again,
you know it's it's one of those things where I
just got something popped up on my feed the other
like yesterday or the day before that. Usual Suspects is
in the top fifty, not just greatest like gangsterournal like
great movies of all time, which is kind of mind blowing,

(09:15):
you know what I mean. Alex made some pretty cool movies,
you know what I mean, And.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Not as good as Usual Suspect, not one, not one,
not one. He's made some incredible movies. Nothing better than
Usual Suspect.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
Well, Alex kind of a little bit with me. He's like,
you're so lucky. He stepped in crab.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
He's worked with legends, you know what I mean. He
narrated the ten and bombs. That was pretty sweet. Yeah,
that's a good now one that the narration certainly brilliant.
Now he was a football player, your brother, and your
dad was a coach.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
I didn't know this.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
I didn't know you guys had a background in football.
That explains a lot.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Well, my dad was a bit of a great Santini
no ex marine defensive football coach, like I said, but
he coached varsity football in our hometown, which is called
Massapeko in the school there that he was it was
Massive People High School, but the population of the tent
was so much there was a rival high school that
we my dad got the job, but made such a

(10:08):
little money we had to live in the poorer side
of which was the other high school, so Alec Baldwin.
My big brother was the varsity you know, quarterback his
senior year and had to play against my dad and
my dad's team Mass People had not lost against Berner
High School in fourteen years. So I, like I said,
you know, I just I remember being like seven, eight,

(10:30):
nine years old, sitting at the dinner table the night
before the game, and my dad's going fourteen fourteen to.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
His own son.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
Oh, he was brutal, he was vicious, and he didn't
care at all, Like you know, you know if somebody
like broke my brother's leg in the game, he'd be like, yeah,
lose there, you know. But the legendary story is Alec
Baldwin big brother's team won the first time in fourteen years,
and my dad had to push Alec in a wheelbarrow

(10:59):
to the local basket in Robin's ice cream store and
buy him a double scoop.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
This they made before they did, but it is my dad.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
He was so sure there was no way they were
gonna lose. So I just remember being a kid like
looking at my dad like you York you know, but
need to kick my ass.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
How far was the basket in Robbins from the house
four miles? Four miles?

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Yeah, and Dad had a bum nee, so he.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Regretted that all the brothers are running along with them
or like just me, just.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
An the other guys were doing all the other stuff
we did when we were growing up in mess Pickwick.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Which sounds like it was fun.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Police were involved, Okay, all right on a case.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Well on, okay, I gotta have life experiences to play roles.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah, well something like that, something like that.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
We uh the one of the more obscure movies that
you've been in. Uh maybe not obscure is not a
right word, but that the skydiving movie.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
Yeah, Cutaway, cut Away, Barringer. Oh okay, okay, and the
legendary actor Den Rodman. Oh yeah, lot with Van dam
and that one movie to stay. But just for clarity,
there's no actor named Dennis Rodman. People. There's the basketball players.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
But I just remember it was aparing in the movie.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
But I just remember like Dennis, like I'm not an actor,
you know, He's like you could just he just like
didn't even try to pretend like he could play this role.
And the craziest thing I learned from Dennis Rodman was
he would wear you know those rubber band things you
work out with. Yeah, yeah, he'd keep one around his neck.
So we would be on the set and like the
director's like okay, now on this shot, and Dennis would

(12:33):
put it down and put his toe and and start going.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
Let s get the muscles go.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
He just kept he worked out all day long, it
looked like it, and then he would be in his
trailer on occasion with his then girlfriend. I told you Carmen,
electric lovely lady also on the movie, who when we
did cut away together, was and still is drop dead gorgeous.
But I remember clearly all the rest of us on

(12:58):
the movie like like, oh is Carmen. Here is Carmen coming?
And Dennis like never talked about her. But a black
SUV would pull up and the door, the passenger door
to her exit an entry would go right to the
stairs of his trailer and the door would open. You'd
never see her. She'd go right in his trailer and

(13:20):
never come out.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
So she wasn't in the film.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
She was.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
That's what I thought, That's what but that's we never say,
we apologize. She was just taking care of a man
on a sett.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yeah, she was just being there for her boyfriend.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
All right, So you have notes because we're excited you're here.
You guys play pickle Bam, my wife, does I have?
We have played it?

Speaker 5 (13:50):
Yes, okay, I love it. Okay, And I don't know
if you know that Jamie Fox.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
The actor, I've heard of this. He's a big pickler.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
He does a thing at his house and I went
Wednesday night.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
He does invite only like company, only fifty people. You
better be good, a lot of healthy gals. Okay, just
saying that's good who love pickleball. But he has a
company called the Best Pickleball.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
Uh exactly. I love this because I talked to Matt Manassi.
If you don't know who that is, there's a big
kind of coach of all the stars, a guy named
Matt Manassi.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
He's got the pickle coach of the stars.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
He's the pickleball coach of the Stars, and he's coaching
Jamie Fox. Okay, so he says, hey, man, I talked
to Jamie, and do you know you want to come
to the Wednesday night thing at Jamie's house. So Jamie
just built like four courts in this one area of
his area as cow powder. Oh mine, that's awesome, but
your roll up, dude, And there was a white Bentley
at the front door. It was pretty cool, sure, but
it sucked to be Jamie, as we know, who is

(14:46):
so funny and so tamilented and so down to earth.
He's really amazing. But I got to go and hang
out and play a little.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
Is this like a tournament or you just have like
just hanging out?

Speaker 5 (14:57):
Do you have it?

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Do they assign you a partner or is it no?
You can you have to bring your agent to be
your partner. No, it's way more chilly. It's very casual.
You can google it, Jamie.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
So once the game starts, it's on.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Yeah, and you got people that are like, you know,
three point eight four.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Oh this is the rating system of hell wow, okay, yeah,
so what are you? This is my gun. I'd probably
be like a three, all right, but compared to Matt Manassi,
who's like probably like a five okay, and the highest
is like six okay, So that means like, uh, the
waters Gal is like you know the greatest pickler players, Well,

(15:38):
she's like five point eight, so you know she's just
I don't know that there was like.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
A ratings world for pick celebrity in the college football world.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
Right, but the pickaball thing is massive. Oh yeah, it's
not going away. It's not going away.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
But I mean in like the celebrity world, it's massive.
Like all you celebs get together and play pickle together.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Well only at Jamie's house.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
At Jamis I can see it becoming like, like you know,
people getting the egos involved, people getting a little chirpy.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
It's competitive. Yeah, it's a fast It's like giant ping
pong ya basically.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Because it's so quick and it makes that clicking noise.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
Well, Nassi coaches like huge, like big producers here in town,
like some of the biggest A list guys. He's producing actors,
producing actresses. Sorry, coaching rather, but it's even in town
here in this industry called Hollywood. Pickleballs massive. And then
there's the Ben Stiller movie that was the pickleball movie,
The Kid. I love this. Ben Stiller just had a

(16:33):
big thing he produced that was a pickleball TV thing.
I don't know how well it did, but it was.
I would imagine Ben doesn't play pickleball too well. But
that's but it's well, yeah, yeah, that was funny. Global
a while ago. They yeah, you're right, it twenty years huh, yeah,

(16:53):
a while ago. But that just leaves the whole pickleball
thing wide open for bigger, better productions.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Do you talk pickleball in your potdcast? Not really one
bad movie, very focused. Tell us about the podcast.

Speaker 5 (17:05):
So One Bad Movie is. I was driving in my
car two years ago and I heard this actor going, Oh,
the movie's great, and the director's great and the writer's great.
And I went, oh my god, I'm so glad I
don't have to do this anymore. And I said, I
bet you this guy would love to talk about his
one bad movie. And then for three weeks, I'm going
one bad movie, one bad messud. I call my producing
partner John. I said, hey, man, could I interview actors

(17:27):
about their bad movies? And he went he kind of laugh,
That's well, that's the idea is. I just had Tory
Spelling on Who's in the Building and Tory told some
funny stories. But the legendary interview for my podcast One
Bad Movie is Michael Madsen. The last interview he did
before he passed was my podcast, and he tells, you

(17:49):
have the guys, you have to watch that interview alone.
He tells a story where he met out Pacino. What's
the movie with the the Mafia.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
Guy with Carla? The other one, the other one about
the Irish mop Oh, oh, oh, the irishman.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
With the No, that's that one? Shoot, great, No, it's
the one with Johnny Depp playing the Irish guy bla
blah anyway.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Oh the Black Mass, Black Mass, Oh, black Mass. Oh yeah,
he's playing Whitey Whitey Bolts right right, Okay.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
So Mattson tells the story that voice. Yeah, you can't
even do an impersonation of it. And Matson tells the
story where they said, hey, they want you to read
for this movie. And at that time he was really hot,
coming off of all the stuff from Quentin Tarantino, and
he said, he says, I won't audition, tell them they
have to offer me the film. And he knew it

(18:43):
was the biggest it would be the biggest role of
his career, and it was al Pacino is also in
the picture, and he really wanted to get it so
bad that he knew if you auditioned, he might do
crappy and not get the roll. So he just wrote
the dice. He said, they have to offer me the film.
So they said no. So three weeks goes by. They

(19:04):
really want him. They said, okay, we're going to offer
you the film, but you have to meet al Al
has final casting approval. The story of meeting al Pacina.
Now I'm telling look at me. It's mind boggling because
like security brought him to it like a back room
in this room where Al was and to this day,
like you know, as the story goes, he never knew

(19:27):
if Al was like in character when he met him.
So he goes in there. Well, he goes in a
room like this, and Al's like facing out the window
and there's just a bank of books on the wall.
So Madson comes in and Al doesn't turn around, so
he takes a book off the shelf and just starts
to read it Madson, and all of a sudden, in
the reflection of the glass, Al sees what's going on.

(19:48):
He goes, you like the book? And Madson's like, yeah, yeah,
I like the books. And they chat a little bit.
They chat a little bit, but then mattson you know,
uh no, it's genius. Pagina says to him, did you
read the script? He goes, yeah, I read the script.
He goes, do you like it? He goes, yeah, I

(20:10):
like it. He goes, you have any questions? He goes, yeah,
in the book that was the screenplay. Now my character
has like these pigeons on a roof like Terry Doyle
and on the waterfront. So he goes but I noticed
in the screenplay the pigeons from the book are not
in the story of the movie. So I'm wondering, you know,
the pigeons that I'm supposed to have my character, what's
gonna happen with that? And Patino goes, you don't get

(20:31):
the pigeons. He goes, I get the pigeons. The pigeons
stay with me, And Mattson was just like, hey, it's okay,
You're gonna have the pigeons. And the rest is the.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
Systems so good.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
It's an amazing.

So anyway, sorry about that, but a great interview and
a lot of fun with Stephen Baldwin. One Bad Movie
is the name of the podcast. Most podcasts do not
sound interesting. That one sounds really really cool and he
was very nice to talk to. We talked to David Vasse,
who's skeptical about the future but at the same time optimistic.

My tongue is gone numb. Actors wear cologne. That's part
of their deal. Okay, but you talk at how popular
pickleball is with the Hollywood elite. No, no, we're just engaging.

Speaker 5 (24:19):

you know, you barely hit it over the you know
it's not a whale and hammer the ball. It's a danker, no.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
No corrections and attractions. I'm pretty sure that's what they
call like a dorky guy of the eightiess, what's your

a lot of dinks play foot pickleball. I don't know

Welcome these lives you've made fun of all these years.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
The bus ride with the doctor is over. Geenie's going
to court though she's not gonna take it landown.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah, I don't think that. I see you. You know,
it turns out when you say, hey, this is best
for us, you sell the team and then a three
thousand word piece comes out on the ESPN about it
supposed to be born. Probably no coming back from that one.
Call me crazy, but you know you don't know their family.

(27:21):
Where you get those folders, Tim Kats put him in
my bag one day. That's like serious PTSD when you
had a report due and you had to drop it
into that That was a but that was like you
would have to turn in your project with the whole
punch came from He came from the Fox seminar. Yeah,
but I thought to him, gave him to me. Anyway,

(27:43):
we got the dead guy. Birthday of the Day, Matt,
I do. I don't know. Ronnie plays something from the Replacements.
I forgot to send Tim a song I apologize Happy
would have been one hundred and thirty six to Harry Hopkins,
one of the most important and super underrated figures in
American history, the guy behind the guy, not the president,
not a general, but FDR's closest advisor during one of

(28:06):
the toughest periods the United States has ever faced. Huge
role following the Great Depression and trying to pull America
out of it, and America's response to World War Two
when the population was saying, we don't want to be
part of World War Two, but you couldn't allow England
to fall to the Nazis. Right, exactly right. Born in

(28:26):
Sioux City, Iowa, working class kid, his father ran a
saloon he went to and graduated from Saloon Grinnell College
nineteen twelve. Grinnel, he got a job in social work,
saw it as his calling, helping people who are struggling,
trying to improve their lives. He worked with organizations that
help poor families, immigrants, children, a driving force in his

(28:49):
state during the Great Depression, and that's why FDR tabbed
him to help his millions of Americans were unemployed, homeless,
struggling to survive. Nineteen thirty three, he launches the new
d Il Hopkins a major role and it's crafting the
massive collection of programs designed to get the country back
on its feet. And as it started to take off,
kind of based on what Hopkins' vision was, he quickly

(29:12):
became one of the people, if not the person Roosevelt
trusted the most. He ran the Federal Emergency Relief Administration,
and unlike most government agencies, his number one priority was expediency.
Famous for believing that government needed to act quickly. That
would come into play in World War Two. Also push
programs to get people working. Said, no handouts won't be

(29:36):
good in the long term. You want something to get
out of this hole. You need to work. If you
need help you, help us, and will help you. He
played an equally major role as his closest after our's
closest personal advisor during World War Two. After Germany invaded Europe,
Roosevelt needed someone he could completely trust to communicate with
Winston Churchill and other Allied leaders. Hopkins was his guy.

(30:01):
That's splendid. In The Vile, a book by someone we
both like a lot, Eric Larson, Hopkins is a central
figure in this is the dude that travels from America
to Britain to sit with Churchill to figure out how
he can get them everything they need to sustain the
Nazi attacks. Hopkins spent time in the Soviet Union as well,
worked on the problem of supplying our allies with weapons, food,

(30:22):
other materials. He was one of the key people involved
in coordinating the ally war effort. Roosevelt said it was
too much for him while he handled the presidency, so
he was the guy behind the scenes making everything happen.
Why is he not more well known because he was
not interested in it. He wanted to work quietly. He
did not want anyone to know who he was, and
that is one of the big reasons why Roosevelt trusted

(30:43):
him enough to give him all of these major responsibilities
once it ended in an Allied victory. It was though
his perennial rash of various ailments and sicknesses caught up
with them. He died January nineteen forty six, at fifty five.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Harry Hopkins, all right, Matt, you're a live guy today
is the director eighty years old today. Martha Coolidge from
New Haven, Connecticut. Cousin of Caluman Coolidge and daughter of
a former Lieutenant governor of Massachusetts. She majored in film
at the Rhode Island School of Designs. She was the

(31:18):
very first film major Great school, then NYU, also a
great school, started making documentaries and then went and worked
for Francis fort Coplas Production Company. Her full length directorial debut,
As She Is a Filmmaker, was about a date rape
that she suffered at sixteen, but her breakthrough.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Was nineteen eighty threes Valley Girl, Sorry, Nick Cage, hell Ya.
