Appf I Am six forty Later with Mo Kelly. We're

director of Communications for Visio, joins us in studio. We
see him every other week. Chris, my brother is always
good to see you. How you doing tonight? I am
well and yourself good sir. Always good to see you.
(00:42):
Always look forward to our conversations about movies because we
seem to have very similar tastes. I think we do
in film as far as leading actors and actresses.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
What do you have for us this week? We've got
a nice little selection. You know, it's summer walkbuster season.
We kind of want the programming to kind of go
along with that. On Watch Free Plus, We've got a
lot of great blockbustery type movies we have. I love
fantasy adventure and I feel like it's a genre that
(01:16):
doesn't get done as well as it could. Often, I
think there's a lot of like mediocre fantasy films a lot. Yeah, absolutely,
and so we want to highlight some of some of
the better aspects of the genre this month on Watch
Free Plus. So we have some great ones.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yes, let's always reset how people can find the watch
free Plus app For those who've not heard our conversations,
who may not be familiar with video TV.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Absolutely so.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
If you do have a video TV all you have
to do is turn it on on the homepage, click
on the watch Free Plus app icon. It'll take you
right to it. There are tens of thousands of free
movies and TV shows. You can also watch live TV
with over three hundred live streaming channels with tens of
(02:05):
thousands of free movies and TV shows. Each of those
channels is geared towards a different genre. But if you
don't have a visio TV, do not worry. All you
have to do is go to your favorite app store,
download the free Visiomobile app, sign up for a free
video account, click on live TV, and YouTube can enjoy
(02:26):
over three hundred free live streaming channels.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
On live streaming channels, yes, live streaming, that's an addition
to just the movies we're talking about what you're available
on demand exactly. Okay, with all that out of the way,
Fantasy Adventure for free.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
What do we have that you're featuring.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
We've got a ton, but these are just some of
the highlights. One of my favorites is Bromstokers Dracula from
nineteen ninety two, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Are you sure that movie is thirty three years old?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Now?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I remember, It's like I was just out of college.
Oh yeah, that math. Yeah, well, there's no way we're
that old. That can't be right. I mean, Martin Ronner
has got to be at least sixty.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
That.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Come on.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
Now, by the way, didn't Jim Sterenko do some of
the art, some of the production art for that bram
Stoker's Dracula.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
I believe that is correct. It's beautiful stuff. It is gorgeous.
He's a walking encyclopedia.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
He oh, I know he is. I know he is,
and he was not, if I'm not mistaken. He was
nominated for an Oscar for that work. It did actually
win for Costume Design, Best Effects, Best sound Effects, Editing,
and Best Makeup. Incredible film the cast is ridiculous. Gary
Oldman of course playing the titular Vlode draw Cool went
(03:46):
on a writer playing Nina Anthony Hopkins.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Try to get that cast back together now.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
And a lot of people forget a young Keanu Reeves.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
He was in that. He was make me want to
go back? Can review it now?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Played Jonathan, Yeah, it's it's actually an incredible film. And
you know, as I always do, I was doing some
research today before I came in, and I found a
hilarious story that apparently at one point they had to
do reshoots in Los Angeles for the wedding scene, and
Francis four Coppola got an actual Eastern Orthodox priest to
(04:25):
be in the movie, not realizing that it would, by
church standards, make this an actual wedding. Yes, so in
some people's eyes, Winona Writer and Keanu Reeves are actually
a married couple.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Did not know that?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
And apparently every once in a while, Keanu will send
Wenona a text message that says hey wife, and she
loves it.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Did not know that? Learn something new?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, this next one I see on your sheet. This
is a movie that I personally love. Yes, I wish
they would have done a sequel to and they never did.
What movie am I talking about?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
This would be the two thousand and two Reign of Fire,
starring Matthew McConaughey, Christian Bale, and a young Gerard Butler.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Was he ever young? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, I know, he seems like he's been thirty five forever.
It's true, it's true, but it is fantastic. I love
Dragon movies. Yes, Mark Ronner, do you remember nineteen eighty
one Dragon Slayer?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (05:27):
No, But the Reign of Fire movie I thought was
that came from some of the X Files people, and
I like that as well.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I believe that's true.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Have you if you haven't seen Dragon Slayer? Mark Ronner
highly recommend it holds So yeah, well, the special effects
and I put that in air quotes. It's dated, but
they were so ahead of their time for the time.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
It's probably the.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Best rendition of a live action Dragon even today.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, I mean, other than Lord of the Rings. I
will say it's small, right, yeah, but that story is great.
But Rain of Fire is sort of a modern take
on the classic Dragon movie. So there are there's this
planetary apocalypse that happens, and in the process of that
these sleeping dragons come up out of the earth and
(06:17):
begin to rain havoc, and a team of soldiers has
to band together to try to save humanity from this
fiery scourge.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's a really good movie, and it did not get
to do that. I think it deserved.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Agreed. Yep, gild you one more before we go to break.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
All right, Well, everyone is excited about Superman. We've got
you know, a lot of superhero movies queued up again.
It's we're kind of going into the next round of
superhero films. And you know, it made me think of
Zack Snyder, who directed you know, one of the earlier iterations,
Man of Steel twenty thirteen. And so I was looking
(06:54):
through the catalog and lo and behold we have a
twenty eleven Zack Snyder film called Sucker Punch.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I have not seen this. Mark if you seen Sucker Punch.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I'm not a fan of that one, but I'm interested
to hear what Chris has to say to defend it.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Well, so, fair enough, fair enough, But it's got a
great cast. Emily Browning from a series of unfortunate Events,
Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical and Abby Cornish, who
I think we've talked about on this show.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Before from Jack Ryan, the Jack Ryan series.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
What I like about this, other than the fact that
I think Zack Snyder is really pretty great often, is
that it You know, there was a bunch of these
movies that were like very high highly stylized there for
a while, and I don't think any of them were
particularly great. What was Sky Captain in the World of Tomorrow.
(07:46):
There was a bunch of those that came out, and
I felt like this one it was just it was fun,
It was different. It was like a comic book brought
to life. It was a lot of girl power that
were great. You sort of saw glimpses of what Zack
Snyder was going to advent.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Oh, you could see man of stealing this as far
as the color palette and the lensing very similar.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
It just just came off as a little creepy to me, like,
don't go see Sucker Punch in a raincoat by yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Well, but that's probably good advice for any man.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
True.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
It did have Scott Glenn in it, and I'm irregularly watchable.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yeah, I'll watch anything he's in. I know you are
a big fan of the Scott Glenn. I can't explain
it as well. You should be.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I think we'll go to commercial before it gets weird.
It's later, We've be's already weird. Chris Woolsey joins us
in studio, talking about the Visio Watch Free Plus app,
where you can get thousands of movies and live streaming
channels for free.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
More In just a moment, you're listening to Later with
Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Kf I AM six forty. It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I'm joined by Chris Woolsey, Visio TV Associate director of Communications.
We're talking about the Watch Free Plus app and the
offerings for this week, all all free, all available right now.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Thousands of movies, streaming channels, live channels. What did I miss?
What did I miss? Chris? Nothing? Just tons of endless entertainment.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Last segment, we talked about the fantasy Adventure for free
that you were featuring this week.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Let's talk about the free thrillers that you're offering.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Absolutely so one of my favorite forgotten gems, one of
my favorite directors, who is obviously a huge name in
the industry now, but nineteen ninety seven David Fincher's The Game.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Did David Fincher ever do a bad movie? I know, right,
I'm being serious. I have to really think about it now.
I may not love them all, sure, but I'm trying
to think of a bad movie he did.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I can't come up.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
With one, ye one, no, not one. Man the guy
Now you make me want to go home and rewatch
The Game.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Doesn't miss It's so good. It's so good one of
Michael Douglas's greatest films. Sean Penn is phenomenal in this.
So Michael Douglas plays this like rich industrialist who's bored
with his life because he's achieved everything there is to achieve,
finds out that there is this company that can make
(10:16):
your life more exciting and signs up for their program,
and then finds out that not only is the program
not so much fun, but you also can't get out
of it once you're in.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
And since Michael Douglas has officially retired from acting, this
is about the only way we're going to get some
Michael Douglass in our life exactly.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
But a ton of people don't I bring this movie up,
and it's you know, by people that I trust with
their opinion of film. This is one of their favorites often,
and so many people have never seen this movie.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
So I'm gonna rewatch it time.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
No, I know I've seen it, it's just that it
was twenty eight years ago, so I remember bits and pieces,
but not everything. So it's gonna be That's the best
part of getting older. You'll see a movie and you
know you've seen it, but it's almost a brand new
movie thirty years later.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I wish I couldn't relate.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I wish I couldn't relate, but man can I absolutely?
Speaker 8 (11:10):
All right?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
What else? All right?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
So we were just talking on the break. Netflix had
a big hit last year with rebel Ridge, which was
kind of a retelling of Rambo First Blood through the
Eyes of a Black Man.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
I loved it. Aaron Pierre, Don Johnson, he's good, Yeah, absolutely,
Aaron Pierre.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
He's he's easy on the eyes, that guy, and he's
got those crazy he's look.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I'm kind of jealous of him, all right. He's a
little too tall, a little too handsome. I'm embarrassed for him.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Green eyes. It's just kind of come on as unfair
as a black man.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I have all that going for you, And and I'm
being serious, Yeah, he is the next it guy.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
He's being considered for all these roles a superhero.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I think he's Bond at one point, Bandy, I heard
it was Bond.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I heard also Green Lantern John Stewart a big tent
pole franchise.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
So he's he's that guy, supposedly, yep, yep.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
So the writer director of that film, Jeremy Soolnier, has
a low budget the independent film that from twenty thirteen
called Blue Ruin.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
That is so good, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
It's like the best indie action film ever. And I
don't know if it's true, it could be apocryphal, but
I heard that he literally bankrolled this on his credit card,
so he would shoot a scene, max out his credit card,
go get a job, pay off his credit card, shoot
another scene, max out his credit card, go get a job.
(12:38):
And he did that over a year period of time.
And man, this movie, and this is one of the
great those great movies where they don't tell you the
whole story up front. They rip it, they drip it
out to you, and you don't know the entire story
until the very last scene. And I don't know if
you know this, Mark Ronner, Do you know who that
woman is that gives that tour de force performance in
(13:00):
the last two minutes of that movie.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
It's been a bit since I've seen it.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Tell me it is eve Plum from the Break and
I mean she burns the joint to the ground in
that scene. She is so good and you just go,
where have you been for the last forty five years?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
I didn't even know that while I was watching it.
It is a tense movie. It is okay.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Now I have some great recommendations for me to check out.
Give me one more, Just one more, all right, one more.
We're doing big name directors. I'm going with Darren Aronofsky's
Pie from nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I don't think I've seen this one.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
It's great, so super low budget. This was the first
movie he directed out of film school. He actually went
to filme school with my writing partner. Shout out to
David Madelon, and he directed this film for I don't
The budget was like nothing, black and white, very interesting, Concede.
It's a it's a mathematician who is working on what
(13:59):
Pie is. He's trying to figure out why it exists,
what exactly does it mean in the universe, And he's
while he's trying to figure this out, he's mentally unstable,
and he's being pursued by a religious, fanatical religious group
that thinks Pie represents the name of God, and another
of Wall Street traders who believe if they can understand PI,
(14:22):
they can manipulate the stock market. It's fantastic, really intense,
great thriller.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
You have come on this show any number of times,
and you've given us maybe six or seven titles each
time you do. I don't remember a time in which
I wanted to see every single suggestion.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I feel the same way.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I mean, I'm gonna be watching two or three of
these tonight, and I'm not getting home until like eleven thirty.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Okay, I came in hot, I came in Oh.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Boy, watch free plus app free emphasis on free Visio TV.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Gotta check it out.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Chris Woolsey, always great to see you, Always great suggestions.
Please don't make it forever before you come back. Hopefully
it won't be more than two weeks.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I promise you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse plus The continuation of the beloved Disney
Junior series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Welcome to the next generation of
free schoolers, and is still breaking records.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
It's a top three series for preschoolers with more than
five big views on YouTube. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Plus airs
Mondays at nine am Pacific on Disney Junior and is
available for streaming on Disney Plus. Now, let's make the
Clubhouse appear with the magic words miska muska Mickey Mouse.
Joining me on the show right now is Brett Iwin,
the voice of Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Welcome, sir, well, thank you, and hey, that's my Liney Mouse.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
And I'm also.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Joined by Bill Farmer, the voice of Goofy and Pluto. Bill,
thank you for coming on this evening.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Worsha I didn't know there were five billion people watching us.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
It's a whole lot of people. I love it. Bill.
Let me start with you.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You are a Disney legend in your own right who's
been the voice of Goofy and Pluto for decades, as
well as countless additional voices in films like Toy Story, Cars, Monsters, Eke.
But how do you keep the voices straight in your head?
Or do they get confusing after a while.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Not generally, if you know the personality and you know
the character that you're portraying, it usually stays pretty much
in its own box. There are times when I'll probably
do the wrong voice, you know, but once you learn
a character, it has a tendency to stay. So Gorsh,
I can go into Goofy anytime I'll want, and it's
(16:40):
right there.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Brett.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I need not tell you how big of shoes that
you are filling as the voice of Mickey Mouse. You're
just the fourth person ever to lend your voice to Mickey.
You were born in Pasadena. That's important to us folks
here in LA, but you were raised in part in Illinois.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
What was your connection to Disney growing up?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Oh, my gosh, I mean, wasn't my connection to Disney?
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Really?
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Yeah? Growing up in Pasadena, I'm a southern California kid.
Going to Disneyland was you know, at least a yearly event,
if not more. I was surrounded by Disney.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
You know.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
One of my favorite things to do is actually beg
my parents to just drive down the one thirty four
and pass the Disney studio a lot, just to see
this place that I had, you know, been watching Walton
in the old classic Disneyland TV shows giving tours of
I wanted to drive past the gates and imagine what
was happening in there. My dream was to work for Disney.
(17:33):
I wanted to be an artist. I learned to draw
by drawing Mickey. I wanted to be a Disney artist.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
Truly.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
The voice acting is really just came out of left field.
It's a tangent in my life story. But Disney has
been a consistent part of my life since my earliest memories.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Brett, I know what you mean because the studio we
are broadcasting from is right across the street from those
Disney studis that you talk about in that one thirty
four freeway. So we understand completely. And Bill, let me
come to you the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Plus, as I
said my intro, is the latest iteration of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
It's one thing to get the voices right, but what
(18:09):
makes you connect with preschoolers? How do you know when
you get that portion right?
Speaker 8 (18:15):
You hear it from the fans quite often at comic cons,
and it's usually the parents that will say, oh, yes,
little Billy will watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse five times a
day on the Disney Plus and stuff, So you just
learn the character. Doing the character is more about learning
(18:35):
the personality than just the voice, which you learn as
a voice actor. You can do an impression of a character,
but it takes more time to learn the character. How
does that character breathe, how does that character emote? What
kind of character is he? You have to get that
and become that character when you inhabit a role, whatever
(18:58):
character it is, and it also helps you come straight.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Bill, let me follow up with that, because learning the
character is one thing. But you've been in this business
long enough, and I say this with great affection and respect,
you've seen the evolution of media.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
When you maybe came along, there was no streaming. There
was no cable, these substations and channels, there was no YouTube.
So when kids find you your voice, your characters in
this different media, has that change how you approach what
you do.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Every show, every performance really has its own vibe, whether
it was a Goofy movie where Goofy had to be
a nurturing father to Max, or on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
where it's for the younger audience and you're kind of
teaching lessons and it's all Mickey Donald, Goofy, Daisy Mini.
It has its own vibe and it takes on its
(19:49):
own life, and you kind of get into that vibe
of the show and it differentiates it, but it's still
the same character. It's like showing different facets of a
diamond that you may I've never seen before. Okay, Oh,
Goofy can be a nurturing father. Oh he can actually
be intelligent once in a while. And he can still
goof up things all the time. And it's a part
(20:11):
of the hole. You add to the whole, but you
don't take away from the character. You just add to
it over the years.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Brett, you may not be as far down the road
in your career as Bill, but I think this does
apply to you. How do you go about maintaining the
consistency of the sound of Mickey across media? Across Let's say,
you may be doing a cartoon, maybe you're doing something
that's live action, I don't know, maybe something for a
game or something like that.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
How do you.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Maintain the consistency because my voice doesn't sound the same
as five years ago.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Oh absolutely, I mean it's inevitable that all of our
voices kind of changed, right, And thankfully, I think when
I look back at some of the stuff I started
doing sixteen years ago, I've definitely noticed a little smoother
approach to Mickey's voice where it's a little trick voice.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
You know.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
If something Bill told me very early on, he said,
do you find yourself going into the studio and really
thinking about making the voice, making the sound? And I said, yes,
I'm terrified sometimes that is not going to come out.
And he said, well, just give us some time and
that'll go away. And that truly has. Now I'm able
to step into the recording studio and instead of thinking
about the sound, I'm thinking more about the character. This
(21:22):
Bill had just said, you know, it's more about knowing
the character than it is the boy on. Once you
get the technicalities of the voice, you know, Mickey is
a falsetto, but he's not too high and.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
He's not too low.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
He's somewhere right in the middle. And once you get
that comfortable space that you can kind of go to
and kick off your sessions with, then the rest is
just more so about the personality. And to your point, absolutely,
the different projects require a different dynamic, whether it's an
ice show where you're in a giant arena, or you're
at the theme park broadcasting to a whole park audience,
or you know, you talked about YouTube and different stream platforms.
(21:56):
You know, Mickey has his own vlog now on YouTube,
Me and Mickey. It's a whole vlog series, and so
that's a little different too, because it's Mickey holding an
iPhone and communicating to his audience the way so many
influencers are nowadays, and so just having a different awareness,
you know, I always say these characters, especially Mickey, they're
actors and themselves, right, Like they approach each different role
(22:18):
the way any of us would as actors, you know,
kind of understanding the audience and the different situations surrounding
how it's being perceived. So yeah, the consistency, I think,
more than sound is the character consistency that's the most important.
But of course the sound is iconic, so you can't
let that go to the wayside, and it's just kind
of common sense, like you of protecting your voice daily
(22:41):
to make sure that you're there whenever the call comes in.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse plus first ten episodes now available to stream.
As we were saying on Disney Plus and airs Mondays
at nine am Pacific on Disney Junior. I'd like to
think my guests both Bill Farmer, the voice of Goofy
and Pluto, and Brett Iwin, the voice of Mickey.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Thank you, gentlemen for coming on tonight.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Thank you for having really was It's Later with Mo
Kelly k if I AM six forty. We're live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app, live on YouTube, talking about streaming
and everywhere else.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
L with Kelly on.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Six We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app, and we're
back on YouTube. We just had a little glitch. We
had a little glitch, then the whole house came crashing down.
But we're back. Come on back, mo migos. The stream
is back up. And you know, for as much as
we cover TV movies streaming, some things do slip through
(23:50):
the cracks. I had seen Squid Game season one, Squid
Game Season two, which was I don't know, maybe six
months ago or so, and I'm thinking we're not gonna
get Squid Game season three to maybe next year sometime.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
I come home Sunday night from like grocery shopping whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
My wife is on the couch watching Squid Game season three.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
You didn't know. I did not know. It's been up
for a while. Now.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
I did not know because at the end of the
second one they tell you it's coming in whatever the
date was.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Look, I will tell you one more time. I did
not know. You're I'll say.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I had no idea that season three was dropping. You know.
Actually I saw a Netflix and I thought, Okay, they're
just like, you know, recycling season two.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
It's like, have you seen they put it in my cue?
That's what I thought it was.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
And then I saw, like, wait a minute, and she
was My wife was leaving me behind it. She said
she was on like season three episode two. I said, what,
wait a minute, how are you gonna watch it without me?
How are you gonna watch it not tail? And then
I had to like, so la la la la la,
I don't want.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
To know what was going on stream cheating.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, so I had to go upstairs and start streaming
Squid Game season three so I could catch up.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
And has everyone seen it except me? Well no.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
One reason you may not have heard anything about it
is because Weirdly, nobody's been talking about it or writing
about it.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
I saw the first episode of three, but I just
got involved in other stuff.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
I think I'm on episode four now. It's I will
agree with Mark. It has been pretty quiet with the press.
I think it just I don't know, maybe people just
fell off. But this season is dark. It's really dark.
It is heavy.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
It was one of those times where I was like,
I don't know if I can watch this. Yeah, I
got to get back in it. Then oh no, no,
no yet, Mark, you like dark and heavy. Each episode
gets worse the first good way. Yeah, the first season.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
You thought like, well, okay, you know there's steaks and
people unfortunately will die.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
It's no secret this one.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah, but this one it's not a matter of if
people are going to die, but it's how gruesome. It's
far more violent than season one or two, far more violent.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Way more. There was a pretty high body count at
the end of two.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
There.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
They are killing folks left and right with impunity in
this one.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Okay, that's festive. Oh yeah yeah, and the way they
do it in the brute, most brutal way. Do you
think they'd run out of children's games. No, sir, Oh,
I know right, That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
I was like, they did a lot of children's games
like What's Left, and then you know, without spoiling anything
like that, a game will come up like, oh my god,
how did I think of that one?
Speaker 5 (26:39):
That's true. That's another one. Do they introduce jarts? That
would be a good one. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Through the first five games that I've seen of this season,
they have not been. But they've they've put some very
very maniacal twists on things that we've all done, all
have done, and it's like, golly, and I understand if
I'm not really given away. They showed this way, you
should know something about it. It is a statement about
(27:09):
human behavior and greed. I get all that, but after
a certain point, it's like, after half the room gets off,
take the money and go.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
And honestly, I don't think they'll ever give them money.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I honestly think if they voted themselves to end the game,
they still wouldn't give them money.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Well, they gave the main guy the money when he
won after the first season, Yeah, the one person.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
But I'm saying, they give you the option that if
the group votes to end the game, they'll just give
you the money that they have that boiler.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Well, look, we're in season three.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
If you don't know anything about season one, if you, okay,
catch up, and I will say, I'm pretty sure almost
everyone in the world has seen for the first season
at this.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Pink at this point.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
And if you haven't seen season one, you know, yeah,
just don't care. I thought season two seemed fairly on
the nose with its reflection and commentary on voting and
how when you can always trust people as a group,
as a mob to make the worst decisions.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yes, ye, yes, yeah, And that's a part of the
statement about human behavior and how we will We're only
maybe one step away from our worst inclinations, and the
people who you may think are above it are never
above it. We're all the same when it comes down
to our base human nature, when it comes to greed,
(28:29):
when it comes to fight or flight survival.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
We're the worst and the worst, dumbest, most poorly motivated
people in the group are the ones who are going
to the ones who are going to drag down everybody.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Yeah, yep, every single time.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Now, there are some things in season three that I
questioned as far as some of the decision making along
the way, but you'll have to see it.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
But I do believe that this has to be the
last season. It has to be.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I don't know if you can tell this story. It
is a three season story arc. I don't know if
you can tell this story beyond this season.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
Yeah, there's there's rumors, but but yeah, overall it was
I mean, it's pretty decisive, but you got to see
the end.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Yeah, I don't want to spoil anything. You finished season three?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah, okay, so I think I finished the fifth game, okay,
so yeah, I'm almost there. So yeah, I questioned the
motivation of season two. How we ended up back here,
I really do. There are other ways that he could
have achieved that goal without going back into the Lions stand.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Let me put it that way.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
He wants to bring it all down right, Yes, he
can do that from the outside, from the inside.
Speaker 10 (29:44):
But also I liked the the detective storyline.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
I enjoyed that that's start of it.
Speaker 10 (29:50):
Yeah, I think that's kind of why they had to
go back and like you said, back into the dead.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Well, I know that because you need to look.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
The whole appeal of the first season was happening in
the squid Game, so you have to for at least
for the audience benefit, you have to keep it there somehow.
I thought that they could have done it without making
this character decision to set it up that way.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (30:13):
And also just a quick digress back to our conversation
that we had, I think it was. I think it
was about Squid Game. When it comes to dubbing versus subtitles,
I was a nerd and I'd watched like five minutes
of a scene with the original and then five minutes
with the dub. They actually do a pretty good job
of keeping it close to what they're actually talking about.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I did that as well, And every once in a
while I will watch some scenes in Korean to see
how many words I can pick up, how much I
can understand, not a lot, but some, And then I
go back to the English and it's like, hey, that's
not that exact translation, because there's some worst in phrases
that I know, but they're translated for just an English
(30:56):
audience and idioms and phrases that we would use, which
is not a direct translation. And I've noticed that, and
part of the complaints is the translations sometimes don't match up,
and that's why people prefer watching it in the original
Korean with English subtitles as opposed to English. I'm just
watching it in English because it just it's easier for
(31:19):
me to not rely on the subtitles, because the facial
expressions do matter. How does your wife watch it? She
watches it with English and English? She watched English language
with English subtitles. Okah, yeah, because dialogue and all these
shows is just sometimes hard to decipher.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
I hate that. I don't know why it is.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
It's it's it's a relatively new phenomenon, but it's not
like I'm discovering it.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Everyone says the same thing about it.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
If I am six forty, It's later with mo Kelly

in film as far as leading actors and actresses.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
What do you have for us this week? We've got
a nice little selection. You know, it's summer walkbuster season.
We kind of want the programming to kind of go
along with that. On Watch Free Plus, We've got a
lot of great blockbustery type movies we have. I love
fantasy adventure and I feel like it's a genre that
(01:16):
doesn't get done as well as it could. Often, I
think there's a lot of like mediocre fantasy films a lot. Yeah, absolutely,
and so we want to highlight some of some of
the better aspects of the genre this month on Watch
Free Plus. So we have some great ones.
Speaker 3 (01:35):

Fantasy Adventure for free.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
What do we have that you're featuring.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
We've got a ton, but these are just some of
the highlights. One of my favorites is Bromstokers Dracula from
nineteen ninety two, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Are you sure that movie is thirty three years old?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Now?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I remember, It's like I was just out of college.
Oh yeah, that math. Yeah, well, there's no way we're
that old. That can't be right. I mean, Martin Ronner
has got to be at least sixty.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
That.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Come on.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
Now, by the way, didn't Jim Sterenko do some of
the art, some of the production art for that bram
Stoker's Dracula.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
I believe that is correct. It's beautiful stuff. It is gorgeous.
He's a walking encyclopedia.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
He oh, I know he is. I know he is,
and he was not, if I'm not mistaken. He was
nominated for an Oscar for that work. It did actually
win for Costume Design, Best Effects, Best sound Effects, Editing,
and Best Makeup. Incredible film the cast is ridiculous. Gary
Oldman of course playing the titular Vlode draw Cool went
(03:46):
on a writer playing Nina Anthony Hopkins.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Try to get that cast back together now.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
And a lot of people forget a young Keanu Reeves.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
He was in that. He was make me want to
go back? Can review it now?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Played Jonathan, Yeah, it's it's actually an incredible film. And
you know, as I always do, I was doing some
research today before I came in, and I found a
hilarious story that apparently at one point they had to
do reshoots in Los Angeles for the wedding scene, and
Francis four Coppola got an actual Eastern Orthodox priest to
(04:25):
be in the movie, not realizing that it would, by
church standards, make this an actual wedding. Yes, so in
some people's eyes, Winona Writer and Keanu Reeves are actually
a married couple.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Did not know that?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
And apparently every once in a while, Keanu will send
Wenona a text message that says hey wife, and she
loves it.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Did not know that? Learn something new?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, this next one I see on your sheet. This
is a movie that I personally love. Yes, I wish
they would have done a sequel to and they never did.
What movie am I talking about?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
This would be the two thousand and two Reign of Fire,
starring Matthew McConaughey, Christian Bale, and a young Gerard Butler.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Was he ever young? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, I know, he seems like he's been thirty five forever.
It's true, it's true, but it is fantastic. I love
Dragon movies. Yes, Mark Ronner, do you remember nineteen eighty
one Dragon Slayer?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (05:27):
No, But the Reign of Fire movie I thought was
that came from some of the X Files people, and
I like that as well.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I believe that's true.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Have you if you haven't seen Dragon Slayer? Mark Ronner
highly recommend it holds So yeah, well, the special effects
and I put that in air quotes. It's dated, but
they were so ahead of their time for the time.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
It's probably the.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Best rendition of a live action Dragon even today.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, I mean, other than Lord of the Rings. I
will say it's small, right, yeah, but that story is great.
But Rain of Fire is sort of a modern take
on the classic Dragon movie. So there are there's this
planetary apocalypse that happens, and in the process of that
these sleeping dragons come up out of the earth and
(06:17):
begin to rain havoc, and a team of soldiers has
to band together to try to save humanity from this
fiery scourge.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's a really good movie, and it did not get
to do that. I think it deserved.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Agreed. Yep, gild you one more before we go to break.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
All right, Well, everyone is excited about Superman. We've got
you know, a lot of superhero movies queued up again.
It's we're kind of going into the next round of
superhero films. And you know, it made me think of
Zack Snyder, who directed you know, one of the earlier iterations,
Man of Steel twenty thirteen. And so I was looking
(06:54):
through the catalog and lo and behold we have a
twenty eleven Zack Snyder film called Sucker Punch.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I have not seen this. Mark if you seen Sucker Punch.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I'm not a fan of that one, but I'm interested
to hear what Chris has to say to defend it.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Well, so, fair enough, fair enough, But it's got a
great cast. Emily Browning from a series of unfortunate Events,
Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical and Abby Cornish, who
I think we've talked about on this show.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Before from Jack Ryan, the Jack Ryan series.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
What I like about this, other than the fact that
I think Zack Snyder is really pretty great often, is
that it You know, there was a bunch of these
movies that were like very high highly stylized there for
a while, and I don't think any of them were
particularly great. What was Sky Captain in the World of Tomorrow.
(07:46):
There was a bunch of those that came out, and
I felt like this one it was just it was fun,
It was different. It was like a comic book brought
to life. It was a lot of girl power that
were great. You sort of saw glimpses of what Zack
Snyder was going to advent.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Oh, you could see man of stealing this as far
as the color palette and the lensing very similar.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
It just just came off as a little creepy to me, like,
don't go see Sucker Punch in a raincoat by yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Well, but that's probably good advice for any man.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
True.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
It did have Scott Glenn in it, and I'm irregularly watchable.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yeah, I'll watch anything he's in. I know you are
a big fan of the Scott Glenn. I can't explain
it as well. You should be.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I think we'll go to commercial before it gets weird.
It's later, We've be's already weird. Chris Woolsey joins us
in studio, talking about the Visio Watch Free Plus app,
where you can get thousands of movies and live streaming
channels for free.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
More In just a moment, you're listening to Later with
Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Kf I AM six forty. It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I'm joined by Chris Woolsey, Visio TV Associate director of Communications.
We're talking about the Watch Free Plus app and the
offerings for this week, all all free, all available right now.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Thousands of movies, streaming channels, live channels. What did I miss?
What did I miss? Chris? Nothing? Just tons of endless entertainment.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Last segment, we talked about the fantasy Adventure for free
that you were featuring this week.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Let's talk about the free thrillers that you're offering.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Absolutely so one of my favorite forgotten gems, one of
my favorite directors, who is obviously a huge name in
the industry now, but nineteen ninety seven David Fincher's The Game.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Did David Fincher ever do a bad movie? I know, right,
I'm being serious. I have to really think about it now.
I may not love them all, sure, but I'm trying
to think of a bad movie he did.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I can't come up.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
With one, ye one, no, not one. Man the guy
Now you make me want to go home and rewatch
The Game.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Doesn't miss It's so good. It's so good one of
Michael Douglas's greatest films. Sean Penn is phenomenal in this.
So Michael Douglas plays this like rich industrialist who's bored
with his life because he's achieved everything there is to achieve,
finds out that there is this company that can make
(10:16):
your life more exciting and signs up for their program,
and then finds out that not only is the program
not so much fun, but you also can't get out
of it once you're in.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
And since Michael Douglas has officially retired from acting, this
is about the only way we're going to get some
Michael Douglass in our life exactly.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
But a ton of people don't I bring this movie up,
and it's you know, by people that I trust with
their opinion of film. This is one of their favorites often,
and so many people have never seen this movie.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
So I'm gonna rewatch it time.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
No, I know I've seen it, it's just that it
was twenty eight years ago, so I remember bits and pieces,
but not everything. So it's gonna be That's the best
part of getting older. You'll see a movie and you
know you've seen it, but it's almost a brand new
movie thirty years later.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I wish I couldn't relate.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I wish I couldn't relate, but man can I absolutely?
Speaker 8 (11:10):
All right?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
What else? All right?
Speaker 4 (11:12):
So we were just talking on the break. Netflix had
a big hit last year with rebel Ridge, which was
kind of a retelling of Rambo First Blood through the
Eyes of a Black Man.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
I loved it. Aaron Pierre, Don Johnson, he's good, Yeah, absolutely,
Aaron Pierre.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
He's he's easy on the eyes, that guy, and he's
got those crazy he's look.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I'm kind of jealous of him, all right. He's a
little too tall, a little too handsome. I'm embarrassed for him.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Green eyes. It's just kind of come on as unfair
as a black man.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I have all that going for you, And and I'm
being serious, Yeah, he is the next it guy.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
He's being considered for all these roles a superhero.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I think he's Bond at one point, Bandy, I heard
it was Bond.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I heard also Green Lantern John Stewart a big tent
pole franchise.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
So he's he's that guy, supposedly, yep, yep.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
So the writer director of that film, Jeremy Soolnier, has
a low budget the independent film that from twenty thirteen
called Blue Ruin.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
That is so good, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
It's like the best indie action film ever. And I
don't know if it's true, it could be apocryphal, but
I heard that he literally bankrolled this on his credit card,
so he would shoot a scene, max out his credit card,
go get a job, pay off his credit card, shoot
another scene, max out his credit card, go get a job.
(12:38):
And he did that over a year period of time.
And man, this movie, and this is one of the
great those great movies where they don't tell you the
whole story up front. They rip it, they drip it
out to you, and you don't know the entire story
until the very last scene. And I don't know if
you know this, Mark Ronner, Do you know who that
woman is that gives that tour de force performance in
(13:00):
the last two minutes of that movie.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
It's been a bit since I've seen it.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Tell me it is eve Plum from the Break and
I mean she burns the joint to the ground in
that scene. She is so good and you just go,
where have you been for the last forty five years?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
I didn't even know that while I was watching it.
It is a tense movie. It is okay.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Now I have some great recommendations for me to check out.
Give me one more, Just one more, all right, one more.
We're doing big name directors. I'm going with Darren Aronofsky's
Pie from nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I don't think I've seen this one.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
It's great, so super low budget. This was the first
movie he directed out of film school. He actually went
to filme school with my writing partner. Shout out to
David Madelon, and he directed this film for I don't
The budget was like nothing, black and white, very interesting, Concede.
It's a it's a mathematician who is working on what
(13:59):
Pie is. He's trying to figure out why it exists,
what exactly does it mean in the universe, And he's
while he's trying to figure this out, he's mentally unstable,
and he's being pursued by a religious, fanatical religious group
that thinks Pie represents the name of God, and another
of Wall Street traders who believe if they can understand PI,
(14:22):
they can manipulate the stock market. It's fantastic, really intense,
great thriller.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
You have come on this show any number of times,
and you've given us maybe six or seven titles each
time you do. I don't remember a time in which
I wanted to see every single suggestion.

I feel the same way.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I mean, I'm gonna be watching two or three of
these tonight, and I'm not getting home until like eleven thirty.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Okay, I came in hot, I came in Oh.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I promise you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse plus The continuation of the beloved Disney
Junior series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Welcome to the next generation of
free schoolers, and is still breaking records.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
It's a top three series for preschoolers with more than
five big views on YouTube. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Plus airs
Mondays at nine am Pacific on Disney Junior and is
available for streaming on Disney Plus. Now, let's make the
Clubhouse appear with the magic words miska muska Mickey Mouse.
Joining me on the show right now is Brett Iwin,
the voice of Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Welcome, sir, well, thank you, and hey, that's my Liney Mouse.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
And I'm also.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Joined by Bill Farmer, the voice of Goofy and Pluto. Bill,
thank you for coming on this evening.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Worsha I didn't know there were five billion people watching us.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
It's a whole lot of people. I love it. Bill.
Let me start with you.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You are a Disney legend in your own right who's
been the voice of Goofy and Pluto for decades, as
well as countless additional voices in films like Toy Story, Cars, Monsters, Eke.
But how do you keep the voices straight in your head?
Or do they get confusing after a while.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Not generally, if you know the personality and you know
the character that you're portraying, it usually stays pretty much
in its own box. There are times when I'll probably
do the wrong voice, you know, but once you learn
a character, it has a tendency to stay. So Gorsh,
I can go into Goofy anytime I'll want, and it's
(16:40):
right there.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Brett.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I need not tell you how big of shoes that
you are filling as the voice of Mickey Mouse. You're
just the fourth person ever to lend your voice to Mickey.
You were born in Pasadena. That's important to us folks
here in LA, but you were raised in part in Illinois.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
What was your connection to Disney growing up?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Oh, my gosh, I mean, wasn't my connection to Disney?
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Really?
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Yeah? Growing up in Pasadena, I'm a southern California kid.
Going to Disneyland was you know, at least a yearly event,
if not more. I was surrounded by Disney.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
You know.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
One of my favorite things to do is actually beg
my parents to just drive down the one thirty four
and pass the Disney studio a lot, just to see
this place that I had, you know, been watching Walton
in the old classic Disneyland TV shows giving tours of
I wanted to drive past the gates and imagine what
was happening in there. My dream was to work for Disney.
(17:33):
I wanted to be an artist. I learned to draw
by drawing Mickey. I wanted to be a Disney artist.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
Truly.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
The voice acting is really just came out of left field.
It's a tangent in my life story. But Disney has
been a consistent part of my life since my earliest memories.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Brett, I know what you mean because the studio we
are broadcasting from is right across the street from those
Disney studis that you talk about in that one thirty
four freeway. So we understand completely. And Bill, let me
come to you the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Plus, as I
said my intro, is the latest iteration of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
It's one thing to get the voices right, but what
(18:09):
makes you connect with preschoolers? How do you know when
you get that portion right?
Speaker 8 (18:15):
You hear it from the fans quite often at comic cons,
and it's usually the parents that will say, oh, yes,
little Billy will watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse five times a
day on the Disney Plus and stuff, So you just
learn the character. Doing the character is more about learning
(18:35):
the personality than just the voice, which you learn as
a voice actor. You can do an impression of a character,
but it takes more time to learn the character. How
does that character breathe, how does that character emote? What
kind of character is he? You have to get that
and become that character when you inhabit a role, whatever
(18:58):
character it is, and it also helps you come straight.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Bill, let me follow up with that, because learning the
character is one thing. But you've been in this business
long enough, and I say this with great affection and respect,
you've seen the evolution of media.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
When you maybe came along, there was no streaming. There
was no cable, these substations and channels, there was no YouTube.
So when kids find you your voice, your characters in
this different media, has that change how you approach what
you do.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Every show, every performance really has its own vibe, whether
it was a Goofy movie where Goofy had to be
a nurturing father to Max, or on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
where it's for the younger audience and you're kind of
teaching lessons and it's all Mickey Donald, Goofy, Daisy Mini.
It has its own vibe and it takes on its
(19:49):
own life, and you kind of get into that vibe
of the show and it differentiates it, but it's still
the same character. It's like showing different facets of a
diamond that you may I've never seen before. Okay, Oh,
Goofy can be a nurturing father. Oh he can actually
be intelligent once in a while. And he can still
goof up things all the time. And it's a part
(20:11):
of the hole. You add to the whole, but you
don't take away from the character. You just add to
it over the years.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Brett, you may not be as far down the road
in your career as Bill, but I think this does
apply to you. How do you go about maintaining the
consistency of the sound of Mickey across media? Across Let's say,
you may be doing a cartoon, maybe you're doing something
that's live action, I don't know, maybe something for a
game or something like that.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
How do you.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Maintain the consistency because my voice doesn't sound the same
as five years ago.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Oh absolutely, I mean it's inevitable that all of our
voices kind of changed, right, And thankfully, I think when
I look back at some of the stuff I started
doing sixteen years ago, I've definitely noticed a little smoother
approach to Mickey's voice where it's a little trick voice.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
You know.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
If something Bill told me very early on, he said,
do you find yourself going into the studio and really
thinking about making the voice, making the sound? And I said, yes,
I'm terrified sometimes that is not going to come out.
And he said, well, just give us some time and
that'll go away. And that truly has. Now I'm able
to step into the recording studio and instead of thinking
about the sound, I'm thinking more about the character. This
(21:22):
Bill had just said, you know, it's more about knowing
the character than it is the boy on. Once you
get the technicalities of the voice, you know, Mickey is
a falsetto, but he's not too high and.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
He's not too low.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
He's somewhere right in the middle. And once you get
that comfortable space that you can kind of go to
and kick off your sessions with, then the rest is
just more so about the personality. And to your point, absolutely,
the different projects require a different dynamic, whether it's an
ice show where you're in a giant arena, or you're
at the theme park broadcasting to a whole park audience,
or you know, you talked about YouTube and different stream platforms.
(21:56):
You know, Mickey has his own vlog now on YouTube,
Me and Mickey. It's a whole vlog series, and so
that's a little different too, because it's Mickey holding an
iPhone and communicating to his audience the way so many
influencers are nowadays, and so just having a different awareness,
you know, I always say these characters, especially Mickey, they're
actors and themselves, right, Like they approach each different role
(22:18):
the way any of us would as actors, you know,
kind of understanding the audience and the different situations surrounding
how it's being perceived. So yeah, the consistency, I think,
more than sound is the character consistency that's the most important.
But of course the sound is iconic, so you can't
let that go to the wayside, and it's just kind
of common sense, like you of protecting your voice daily
(22:41):
to make sure that you're there whenever the call comes in.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse plus first ten episodes now available to stream.
As we were saying on Disney Plus and airs Mondays
at nine am Pacific on Disney Junior. I'd like to
think my guests both Bill Farmer, the voice of Goofy
and Pluto, and Brett Iwin, the voice of Mickey.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Thank you, gentlemen for coming on tonight.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Thank you for having really was It's Later with Mo
Kelly k if I AM six forty. We're live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app, live on YouTube, talking about streaming
and everywhere else.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
L with Kelly on.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Six We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app, and we're
back on YouTube. We just had a little glitch. We
had a little glitch, then the whole house came crashing down.
But we're back. Come on back, mo migos. The stream
is back up. And you know, for as much as
we cover TV movies streaming, some things do slip through
(23:50):
the cracks. I had seen Squid Game season one, Squid
Game Season two, which was I don't know, maybe six
months ago or so, and I'm thinking we're not gonna
get Squid Game season three to maybe next year sometime.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
I come home Sunday night from like grocery shopping whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
My wife is on the couch watching Squid Game season three.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
You didn't know. I did not know. It's been up
for a while. Now.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
I did not know because at the end of the
second one they tell you it's coming in whatever the
date was.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Look, I will tell you one more time. I did
not know. You're I'll say.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I had no idea that season three was dropping. You know.
Actually I saw a Netflix and I thought, Okay, they're
just like, you know, recycling season two.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
It's like, have you seen they put it in my cue?
That's what I thought it was.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
And then I saw, like, wait a minute, and she
was My wife was leaving me behind it. She said
she was on like season three episode two. I said, what,
wait a minute, how are you gonna watch it without me?
How are you gonna watch it not tail? And then
I had to like, so la la la la la,
I don't want.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
To know what was going on stream cheating.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, so I had to go upstairs and start streaming
Squid Game season three so I could catch up.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
And has everyone seen it except me? Well no.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
One reason you may not have heard anything about it
is because Weirdly, nobody's been talking about it or writing
about it.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
I saw the first episode of three, but I just
got involved in other stuff.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
I think I'm on episode four now. It's I will
agree with Mark. It has been pretty quiet with the press.
I think it just I don't know, maybe people just
fell off. But this season is dark. It's really dark.
It is heavy.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
It was one of those times where I was like,
I don't know if I can watch this. Yeah, I
got to get back in it. Then oh no, no,
no yet, Mark, you like dark and heavy. Each episode
gets worse the first good way. Yeah, the first season.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
You thought like, well, okay, you know there's steaks and
people unfortunately will die.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
It's no secret this one.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah, but this one it's not a matter of if
people are going to die, but it's how gruesome. It's
far more violent than season one or two, far more violent.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Way more. There was a pretty high body count at
the end of two.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
There.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
They are killing folks left and right with impunity in
this one.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Okay, that's festive. Oh yeah yeah, and the way they
do it in the brute, most brutal way. Do you
think they'd run out of children's games. No, sir, Oh,
I know right, That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
I was like, they did a lot of children's games
like What's Left, and then you know, without spoiling anything
like that, a game will come up like, oh my god,
how did I think of that one?
Speaker 5 (26:39):
That's true. That's another one. Do they introduce jarts? That
would be a good one. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Through the first five games that I've seen of this season,
they have not been. But they've they've put some very
very maniacal twists on things that we've all done, all
have done, and it's like, golly, and I understand if
I'm not really given away. They showed this way, you
should know something about it. It is a statement about
(27:09):
human behavior and greed. I get all that, but after
a certain point, it's like, after half the room gets off,
take the money and go.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
And honestly, I don't think they'll ever give them money.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I honestly think if they voted themselves to end the game,
they still wouldn't give them money.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Well, they gave the main guy the money when he
won after the first season, Yeah, the one person.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
But I'm saying, they give you the option that if
the group votes to end the game, they'll just give
you the money that they have that boiler.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Well, look, we're in season three.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
If you don't know anything about season one, if you, okay,
catch up, and I will say, I'm pretty sure almost
everyone in the world has seen for the first season
at this.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Pink at this point.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
And if you haven't seen season one, you know, yeah,
just don't care. I thought season two seemed fairly on
the nose with its reflection and commentary on voting and
how when you can always trust people as a group,
as a mob to make the worst decisions.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yes, ye, yes, yeah, And that's a part of the
statement about human behavior and how we will We're only
maybe one step away from our worst inclinations, and the
people who you may think are above it are never
above it. We're all the same when it comes down
to our base human nature, when it comes to greed,
(28:29):
when it comes to fight or flight survival.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
We're the worst and the worst, dumbest, most poorly motivated
people in the group are the ones who are going
to the ones who are going to drag down everybody.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Yeah, yep, every single time.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Now, there are some things in season three that I
questioned as far as some of the decision making along
the way, but you'll have to see it.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
But I do believe that this has to be the
last season. It has to be.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I don't know if you can tell this story. It
is a three season story arc. I don't know if
you can tell this story beyond this season.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
Yeah, there's there's rumors, but but yeah, overall it was
I mean, it's pretty decisive, but you got to see
the end.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Yeah, I don't want to spoil anything. You finished season three?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah, okay, so I think I finished the fifth game, okay,
so yeah, I'm almost there. So yeah, I questioned the
motivation of season two. How we ended up back here,
I really do. There are other ways that he could
have achieved that goal without going back into the Lions stand.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Let me put it that way.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
He wants to bring it all down right, Yes, he
can do that from the outside, from the inside.
Speaker 10 (29:44):
But also I liked the the detective storyline.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
I enjoyed that that's start of it.
Speaker 10 (29:50):
Yeah, I think that's kind of why they had to
go back and like you said, back into the dead.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Well, I know that because you need to look.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
The whole appeal of the first season was happening in
the squid Game, so you have to for at least
for the audience benefit, you have to keep it there somehow.
I thought that they could have done it without making
this character decision to set it up that way.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (30:13):
And also just a quick digress back to our conversation
that we had, I think it was. I think it
was about Squid Game. When it comes to dubbing versus subtitles,
I was a nerd and I'd watched like five minutes
of a scene with the original and then five minutes
with the dub. They actually do a pretty good job
of keeping it close to what they're actually talking about.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I did that as well, And every once in a
while I will watch some scenes in Korean to see
how many words I can pick up, how much I
can understand, not a lot, but some, And then I
go back to the English and it's like, hey, that's
not that exact translation, because there's some worst in phrases
that I know, but they're translated for just an English
(30:56):
audience and idioms and phrases that we would use, which
is not a direct translation. And I've noticed that, and
part of the complaints is the translations sometimes don't match up,
and that's why people prefer watching it in the original
Korean with English subtitles as opposed to English. I'm just
watching it in English because it just it's easier for
(31:19):
me to not rely on the subtitles, because the facial
expressions do matter. How does your wife watch it? She
watches it with English and English? She watched English language
with English subtitles. Okah, yeah, because dialogue and all these
shows is just sometimes hard to decipher.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
I hate that. I don't know why it is.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
It's it's it's a relatively new phenomenon, but it's not
like I'm discovering it.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Everyone says the same thing about it.
