Hello everyone, and welcome to The Movie Night season one recap episode, because
why not have a recap episode for even this series that's only six episodes long.
I'm Robert Lamb, I'm the creator and the star. I'm the voice
of Josh. But along with me for this ride is co star Hope Ennis,
who plays Kelly. Who now Hope is calling because of COVID, so
that's why we're on the studio. No, she doesn't have it. No,
I don't have it. She doesn't have it, but you know all
this social yeah, social distancing guide lines and everything. So she's calling in.
But I wanted to still release an episode, recap episode. So you
were generous enough. I say generous as in like, I know you didn't
want to do this and I made you do this, but generous to join
anyways, Thank you. No, I'll do it. I'll do it.
It has been a long time since I've released an episode and since definitely a
long time since we've recorded. I know, I can't remember the last time
I actually was in the studio. It's been like, could you do Uh,
it's been a while. It's a it's ahead to be like, I
mean, it's over like three or four months now, because I would say
definitely three. Yeah. Well, I mean I know you've you've come in.
The last time you came in was for AVA, for End of All
Hope, not for moving Yeah, because movie and I released a while back
and it's only six episodes. But I can't remember the last time we recorded
for it. But anyways, Uh, you know, you play Kelly.
I played Josh. There's four other characters, Brad Anderson, Daisy, and
Cooper. But Brad was supposed to join us today, which is Brian Messick,
but he had his Zoom meeting at six o'clock that he so he couldn't
make it. Y, that's true. No, I really wanted Brian to
be here so then I could see if you guys actually have it back and
forth because you guys don't really know. Yeah, I think I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know if you've met him, because maybe all the
all the characters are voiced by like you know, our friends or my friends,
because you don't know Brian. But but the only one is Daisy.
She's somebody I met on Reddit who actually voices the character. Um. Everybody
else is like people who come into the studio, like actually I was just
about to get to that. I was gonna say, you play Allie and
Anderson. This is actually interesting. I didn't even think about this what I'm
gonna say. And that's kind of interesting because okay, well Anderson, yeah,
is played by Nick Englehard, who is the voice of Mark an End
of All Hope. That's interesting. That's interesting, right, because you guys
are kind of like love interests. I mean, your guys are dating in
movie night and and Mark has a thing for Ava and End of All Hope
spoilers. I would say, if you haven't seen it, I mean,
if you haven't seen the logo and listen to it, yeah, it might
be a spoiler. Um. And then we have u I played Josh Brad
is Brian messik Um. And then Cooper is played by Jack Austin, who
voices a lot of characters. He voices every character. He voices Ava too.
It's just for life. I feel like, yeah, I feel like
you you have some like he does a lot of voices. I don't have
Pence up. I have Pence up jealousy because I can't change my voice at
all. That's true. You probably could. You've done a southern accent before.
Yeah, but you don't like it, that's true. That's why we'll
save that for a different time. It's it's fine. I just haven't had
a Southern Bell character yet, you know what I mean. They've all been
Northern Bells. Uh so yeah, Jack Jack Austen plays Cooper. It's funny
though, because you know, before we started podcasting, we were talking about
how like pretty much all of these characters, well you said, this is
kind of like my life. It is that it's you are to your character.
I am my character, that's for sure. But I was going to
say that everybody is kind of like when I started it, I kind of
just made up these characters, and then as I cast them and then you
know, got like three or four episodes in, I kind of tailored them
to the actors, Like you're not. I wouldn't say everything about Kelly is
like you, but like the way you act in your sarcasm is yeah,
they'll say there's some things and Kelly, yeah, you don't date douchebags?
What you don't date douchebags in real life? Do? I definitely do.
Look at the track record, that's true. But Kelly ends up with a
nice boy and Anderson. So that's cool. Maybe it's just maybe you're seeing
the future. That's true, I'm predicting the future. Someone nice, a
nice a nice little Um. I don't even know what to call Anderson.
He's not really shy. He's just very like timid and like, yeah,
easygoing. Yeah, that's a good word for it. So but Nick and
Nick's kind of like that. Nick's kind of easygoing and not timid. But
like you just go with the flow, is um, you know what Callie
please me lay in movies, So she's kind of like Callie, yeah she
uh though no, yeah. She Amy Laray, who voices Roland and paralyzed.
While I was trying to name like some of like and then she's been
a couple of oh and Edith in Atlas Avenue beat Edith. Yeah, Edith
for sure. So like, if you listen to our other audio dramas,
you'll definitely know, uh, Amy Laray's voice. She plays Callie, who's
in season one, who's just a character that Josh is trying to date get
with kind of thing whatever. It's a little stockish the but like it kind
of makes sense right after you explained it, yes, but just hearing it
I'd be like, no, that's creepy. Yeah, but all it's not
like he's like Joe from the show you this with this at and like walking
Shoe from the show. You don't think that he's like a stalker either.
He also thinks he's a good guy. I've been watching the show, so
I'm catching up. You're list let's change, Yeah, the subject of this
podcast. No, I'm saying, like you know, isn't as stalker is
because let's I'm going to talk about season one just a little bit. So
basically, I wanted to write a sitcom. I just wanted to see what
it was like. I like writing dialogue, so I wanted to write a
series that's very dialogue heavy, that wouldn't take a lot of time to edit,
that didn't have a lot of action, like end of All Hope or
something. Yeah, so I figured, like a sitcom, I try it
out. I actually I actually had a couple of these episodes already written because
I wanted to film them back in the day, because I used to like
how you said, this is my life. I used to have stadium seating
in my house, and you used to have movie nights, right, And
I used to invite like a bunch of people over and we would like do
double showings and two movies. The last one you did was um, what
were those movies called, Like the Hot Fuzzy, the Blood and ice Cream
Trilogy. It was a Shawn of the Dead, Hot fuzz and the World's
End. Yeah, actually did a triple movie night that night. I forget.
Yeah, you came one that was. Yeah, that's the last one.
I think that might be the only one I actually wanted to It might
be, but yeah, that that was the last one I remember you doing
though, that that one, and then I did another one with et and
Uh they Live, which was my sci fi alien uh double feature. And
like those two movie nights that I did brought like twenty to thirty people.
I mean people would come for like one movie or leave, and some people
would stay for both. But it was a lot of people. I was
gonna say that for the Blood and ice from one, I remember like half
the people left there like three movies. Yeah, it was a lot.
Yeah, I mean most people left after the going. Yeah, I know,
those were fun, and that's why I tried to like even like the
house that they mentioned that they're in is kind of like where I live,
it's like a garage apartment. They stadium seating, except where they use couches
because there's only six of them. I used to actually have church pews in
my house to fit more people, which was it was too much, But
now I don't have the church pews, so I couldn't film it. So
I was like, I'll just turn it into a podcast and then I forget
where I was gonna go with. Oh, and then basically every episode would
be based on like some kind of movie, like whatever movie they were gonna
watch, kind of ties in. Sometimes it's a bigger part of the story.
Sometimes it's not, but it was supposed to tie in a little bit
into what like what the characters are going through, if that makes sense.
Yeah. And the first one was Diner, and that was I only did
that first because the movie Diner. Did you ever see Diner? I have
never seen Din now, Okay, So Diner is like and I think it
came out in nineteen eighty two, and it's a it's basically just a movie
about these like five or six guys that just they get back together after some
of them moved away and came back and stuff, and they just hang out
and they always hang out at this diner and talk almost like every sitcom ever
with like friends head Yeah, the coffee Shop and and Seinfeld with monks,
Like they just go and they talk and they talk about any everything like sports
and movies and music and all that kind of stuff. And I kind of
wanted to capture that. So that's why I kind of started with that movie
first and then just kind of picked movies as I went to kind of go
along with whatever the story was going to be. And this season one was
following Josh and his his conquest as you may, pretty potent, yeah Callie,
which yeah, I don't I won't spoil what happens with that, but
basically he becomes a stalker a little bit, but not like in a fun
way, like a fun stalker, fun like Joe if he wasn't so stressed
out right exactly, and if Joe liked movies more. But Joe likes books,
you know what I mean, He's a true book dude. I I
want to get into that show, it's just it takes me a while.
I watched like one episode every week. Oh I So of course I didn't
know it was a Lifetime show before it was a Netflix show. Yes,
I did hear that. And did you hear that they were neewed for season
three? Yeah, and they spoiled it. Yeah, I know we're talking
about they spoiled like an end and I was like, oh interesting, but
oh well, so back to movie. Yeah. Uh. Basically, um,
you know, we haven't really been able to work on season two.
That's why I wanted to release this this recap episode just to talk about like
what's coming up with season two Because COVID came through. It's kind of limited
a lot of like recording time and I have been able to write more,
but to get people in the studio to record, a lot of people are
going through you know stuff. So we kind of have to wait it out
a little bit more. But hopefully we'll get it up and get some new
episodes out there soon. Yeah. Uh. I was going to ask you,
so, like, there's six main characters. Do you have a favorite?
You can say you actually, well, I do like my character,
but I love uh Cooper. Really. I feel like I feel like everybody
has a friend like Cooper and it doesn't have to be as like like I
have a friend who's um like a little bit of a like a root but
not like as bad as Cooper as, but I feel like everyone has a
Cooper in my life. That's just like, ah, that's like that one
friend. Yeah, I've had that friend before who would like literally eat my
food. I mean it reminds me a lot. Like obviously I'm a huge
fan of Seinfeld, so a lot of the stuff that happens in this show
is like, like, especially like the dialogue like is very like I take
inspiration from Seinfeld, and even like Friends has like Joey. Joey's kind of
like a little bit that character where he's a mood and he's kind of a
numbskull sometimes. Yeah, yeah, so like I kind of have that.
But I did also kind of base him on a friend of mine from back
in the day who would like literally eat all my food and like just he
just got kind of buy and I was always like, how do you even
have money? Where's your money? And we used to joke about him that,
like he would literally after school just go home and just count like wads
of cash, and we were like that was our like running joke because we
never knew how he had money to buy stuff because he didn't work and he
would always eat my food when he came over, so I was like,
I just don't understand, like how you get by And he never told us
either. Hmm, sketchy, sketchy, it's weird stuff. Maybe he was
a drug dealer. I don't know. I will say I like writing for
Brad even though Brad's kind of a douchebag. Um, yeah, it's funny
though Brian character I don't like though, I mean brat, Like I get
Brad and Kelly's their things, but I don't just like like he's funny too.
Well, it's funny because like Brad, even though he's kind of douchey,
like, Brian's not really like like I kind of have like this kind
of like uh like I'm trying to figure out how to word it so I
don't make Brian seem like a jerk. But Brian says like he kind of
talks like that, like but like jokingly, he's not like being serious.
But he's also not like um, like, Brian is definitely more like liberal
than Brad is. Where Brad just kind of hates everything he hates like the
PC culture and stuff like that. Brian Massic is not really like that but
he is kind of like when he talks to people, he just kind of
jokingly is like sarcastic and like, yeah, although he doesn't have like a
Kelly in real life that he gets pissed off at that we know of that's
true. He might be he could have a friend that he doesn't like has
like it probably is we have. Don't we have a better rapport, I
would say than Brad and I. Uh, I was gonna say that Kelly
and Anderson. I kind of felt bad with season one. I didn't have
like they were in every episode, but I feel like I didn't give them
enough. And actually in season two, I've got some episodes that are going
to give them like a little bit more background and backstory. Yeah yeah,
so you're Kelly, Yeah, because you want more lines, right, yeah,
yeah exactly, to uh, just a couple more just for the backstory.
That's it. Not too many. Give me some backstory, just some
backstory, give you guys something to do. But I also decided that since
the seasons are going to be six episodes long and kind of have like a
little bit of an arc, like Josh was the main character with an arc,
season two is actually going to be Brad's arc like he's going to have
like a little bit of something going on and it's going to be through his
eyes. So the voiceover is actually gone, so it'll be interesting. So
eventually you'll have some voiceover, which I know you love so much. I
mean, at least I'm not like running from my life like End of All
Bloody murdering, you know, aliens and things like that. Is that a
spoiler? You'll never yet know if anybody's listened to End of All Hope by
episode three, it's not. But um, you know, I'm not like
crying every you know, right, No, if you have more upset,
and if you have any voiceover, it's not going to be like, oh,
like, there's not gonna be a ton of it. There's only gonna
be like a voiceover, right yeah, yeah, where you have to like
think back and reminisce and all that kind of stuff, all that good stuff.
Now this uh movie night. I try to keep it simple and I
try to limit how much voiceover there is because I like writing dialogue, so
I try to keep it all dialogue. I don't know if eventually it'll span
to be more than just the house as much as it is but I do
kind of like having them bring all their problems and issues mostly to the house
to talk about before they watch the movie. I don't know, and it
I mean. Other than that, I'll say season two hopefully we'll be out
soon. I'm writing it. I'm almost I got like two episodes left a
season two to write, and then we'll start all the recording process. We'll
see how all this coronavirus stuff shapes up and see how all of it putting
like like the coronavirus stuff into your you know writing. Actually, yeah,
so I wrote down some notes before we started this podcast. One of the
notes I made was not in season two. Since I'm almost done writing season
two, but I'm thinking about season three having it take place mostly during the
coronavirus and that'll be like thing. Yeah, so like those six episodes will
take place over like maybe the start and like I don't know if it's the
end, but like around the part, yeah, quarantining and everything. I
think that'd be kind of cool. Yeah, I was wondering if you would
use that, Oh, yeah, for sure. I think I think I'll
put it in there somewhere. And I think because it's like, uh,
six episodes and they're usually like you know, every week, they go by
week week so and everybody picks their movie each week. That maybe having those
six episodes just take place during the coronavirus and having it like be a quarantine
movie night and how they're maybe not social distance or they actually are wearing masks
during the movie night or whatever it is. Yeah, however some of them
don't have jobs, probably stuff like that, So I think I could have
that all play into into the story. Okay, so the last thing I'll
uh, I'll ask you before we take off is do you think there's any
movie that I should include, like a story wise, Oh, let me
think on movie called but I really like, um, Titanic. Yeah,
I'll do Deer Hunters, do some Russian Roulette that would be funny. Yeah.
Um, because my favorite movie of watching all those, um, I
watched all the Best Picture when Oscar movies. Yeah, Academy Award winners.
Um, what's the Apartment? I think is my favorite one that I watch.
I would like to include that. Oh that was your favorite one?
I think so, because that's the one. Like any time anyone asked me,
because you know I posted on baseball, people are asking me questions.
I really think that was like my favorite, that's one of my favorite about
you know, yeah, I really like that one. That was it used
to be my top ten. I knocked it out just a little bit.
It's like number eleven or twelve now because I have a list. Yeah,
you need to send me the list of movies that I'm supposed to be watching.
Oh oh yeah, that's right. You're quarantine. Now you can watch
it. Send me some movies. I'm gonna send you my watching what is
it, like the hundred best movies or whatever? But send here list.
No, I'll send you a list of my favorite movies. Obviously. That's
why I wait, do you want to top? I think I was making
you a top twenty five, right, You're like you may add fifty on
there. I mean I can make it around fifty if you want. I'm
just, you know, whatever, the movies because that was the easiest because
every movie I needed you had. That's true. I do have a lot
of Best Picture winners, and I do have a lot of movies in general.
I mean, that's why I'm doing this series is because I'm such a
movie lover. For real. I will all right, so like, yeah,
I think The Apartment. There's probably a way to like make that.
That seems like that would be a Kelly pick. Actually, it really does.
I don't know if it probably won't be in season two, but maybe
a season three COVID film that yea The Apartment, which is Jack Lemon,
Shirley McClean kind of loves romantic comedy. I guess, yeah, yeah,
that's a solid pick. Okay, that's a good one. Yeah. For
I will say that, since I've written most of the season two, just
as a tease, I'll say that Mall Rats and Midnight in Paris make an
appearance. Those are the only two I'm going to mention right now. I
love really do you that I haven't so I got up see I wasn't a
huge fan of Mall Rats. I like Clerks and Clerks too, like I
do. I like, you know, I like, you know, all
of them. But I don't know why, but I just remember watching that
whatever you know. I think it was like in high school or something,
and like I had a huge crush on Jason Lee because I was like,
I loved his character, I know and like now like no, thank you,
but I loved him in that movie. Nice well, then you'll love
one of these episodes one of these. Midnight in Paris is the other one.
Do you know that? Yeah, I'm not a huge Woody Allen fan,
right, and I want you to know that that comes into play just
it's Kelly not a Woody Allen fan, because I like that. Kelly is
not a Woody Allen fan for much of the same reason that you're not a
Woody Allen fan. Thank you, So I think you'll you'll enjoy that respect.
Yeah, I won't mention the other movies. That's just a tease,
So you guys will have to wait until season two starts releasing. I guess
that's I guess that's it. That's pretty much everything. Hopefully, I'm hoping
to have it done soon, but worst comes to worst if we don't release
it, at least I'll start writing. I'm out of a job right now
until Florida reopens fully, so I've just been writing every single day, so
hopefully maybe I can write some of season three and get that going too if
we're not able to release season two yet, so we'll see. Anyways,
thanks for joining Hope. I appreciate it, so that way, I'm not
talking to myself. Yeah, I know you were dying to get this.
Yeah, well I've done one recap by myself one time, and it's not
fun. Like, what do you like? I don't even know how you
would do that? You just like talk? Yeah, I just talked to
myself. Yeah, it wasn't fun. I did think I did it for
Atlas Avenue Beat season one, but now I try to have at least one
person like you know, maybe Brian will be on the next season recap of
Movie Night or somebody else, or even Jack Austin because he's he's over here
recording a lot. Maybe he'll stop by talk about Cooper. Yeah. All
right, well that's it. Thanks for listening, guys. Hopefully season two
