We are on part two of our 3 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,960 comparison of Footloose and Purple Rain, and we are not 4 00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:30,079 going to waste any time. Let's dance. 5 00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:35,799 Speaker 2: This is the sixth episode that we've done so far 6 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,359 on our summer of nineteen eighty four. It's been amazing 7 00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:40,880 to go through and just concentrate on one summer. 8 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,039 Speaker 1: Do you remember the first time you saw either one 9 00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:43,600 of these movies? 10 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,359 Speaker 2: Yes, I saw Footloose in the theater. 11 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: I saw Footloose in the theater. 12 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 2: And I think I saw Purple Rain on HBO when 13 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,000 I didn't have permission to do so. 14 00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: Right, I can remember vividly seeing I didn't see all 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000 of Purple Rain. But my brother was in high school 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,640 at the time, and he goes over to this friend's 17 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,320 house that a bunch of high school kids are going 18 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:07,120 to watch the VHS copy of this thing, and her 19 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,280 little brother and I are banished to the upstairs and like, you, 20 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,040 you know, you guys are too young, you can't watch this. 21 00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:16,920 And so of course we go upstairs for about seven 22 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,239 minutes and they're like, let's go sneak downstairs, and so 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,079 we sneak downstairs.

Okay, yeah, let's back up just a second. Okay, 63 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,800 So filming started on purple rain Halloween of nineteen eighty three. Okay, 64 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,280 the first scene in the movie is actually Prince and 65 00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,759 Apollonia riding around on the motorcycle and you have the 66 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,039 fall foliage of Minnesota. Funny part about that it snowed 67 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:44,800 the next day. 68 00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: Right right. Hearing Apollonia talk about this in various parts, 69 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,199 the severity of what happened is different, but basically her 70 00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:57,000 jumping in that water two or three times. Afterwards, like 71 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,240 she started to black out and the nurse believed she 72 00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,199 was going into hype bathermia. And then apparently she was 73 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,719 sick for some time and stayed at Prince's house and 74 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,560 he like made her soup and took care of her 75 00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:11,919 while she got over the cold or flu or whatever 76 00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,000 pneumonia probably that she had from jumping in this ice 77 00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:15,599 cold water. 78 00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:18,759 Speaker 2: The Lake Minnetaka scene if you don't remember, Prince says 79 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,680 that he won't help her professionally because she couldn't pass initiation, 80 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,759 and she's like, what are you talking about. He's like, 81 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,439 you got to purify yourself in the lake Manataka, So 82 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,240 she strips down and jumps in. Now that was shot 83 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,319 in Minneapolis. Yes, they realized that they needed some close 84 00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:36,279 ups and some dialogue that they then later shot in 85 00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:39,399 La Yes, not so cold over there, a little bit warmer. 86 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,439 The interesting thing when she stayed at Prince's house, Uh huh, 87 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,680 she says, Yeah, I slept in his bed and he 88 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,600 was a perfect gentleman. 89 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: Nothing happened, which Prince every time? 90 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: What okay? 91 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,319 Speaker 4: All right? 92 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: Anyway, So during the production of Purple Rain, Yes, one 93 00:04:55,079 --> 00:04:57,040 of the things Prince did to get everybody ready for 94 00:04:57,079 --> 00:04:59,399 this is he gave everybody had show up and do 95 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,240 dance lessons in acting class and acting classes. 96 00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:02,519 Speaker 1: Yeah. 97 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: Part of it was to get them better for the movie, 98 00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:06,839 and part of it was to get everybody in shape. 99 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:07,199 Speaker 1: Right. 100 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: But there's one person that constantly skipped. 101 00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: It's who you would expect. 102 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 103 00:05:20,519 --> 00:05:24,439 Speaker 1: He was also high during the filming of this movie. 104 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, mister Morris, mister Morris day at the time. 105 00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:29,639 Speaker 1: He's got one of the funniest bits. Like he and 106 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,199 Jerome have a lot of funny bits. But they do 107 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,319 this bit that's a very apt and Costello who's on first. 108 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,800 That's good. I enjoy that bit. They are the comic 109 00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:40,079 relief of this movie that could be a very heavy 110 00:05:40,439 --> 00:05:43,040 movie without their comedy In it, but one of the 111 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,240 important parts of the movie was what are the songs 112 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,959 that we're going to use? Right? Sure, Prince gives Albert 113 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,279 Magnoli this huge catalog of music and he's like, okay, well, 114 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,480 which of these do you want me to use? He 115 00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:57,279 goes you pick. He's like, oh wow, okay, and so 116 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,920 he's going through trying to find songs, and then they 117 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,560 have this event that is now famous. 118 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: Yes, it is the first. 119 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: Time that Wendy Melvoy plays with the Revolution. She starts 120 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,439 the song and there are three songs from this live 121 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,839 performance that end up in the album. But one of 122 00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:17,439 those songs is the song Purple Rain. 123 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,959 Speaker 2: That concert happened August third, nineteen eighty three. People don't 124 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,920 realize this. I didn't realize it until I started researching this. 125 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,279 The recordings of I Would Die for You Baby, I'm 126 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,120 a Star and Purple Rain are taken from that concert 127 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,800 in nineteen eighty three. Now they produced them up. They 128 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,160 add some strings and some things, but those are the 129 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,079 live recordings from that concert. 130 00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:42,399 Speaker 1: It was the first time they had ever performed Purple 131 00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:47,480 Rain live, and it is the version you hear on 132 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,120 the album. And one of the people in the crowd 133 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,800 was Albert mcnoley, and he comes to Prince afterward and 134 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,519 he says, I think that song Purple Rain is the 135 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,600 key to our movie, and Princess, okay, can we call 136 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,079 the movie Purple Rain? He says, sure, that sounds Let's 137 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,560 do it. Not only is it Wendy's first performance with 138 00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:10,360 the band, but it is the moment that the name 139 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,240 of the movie and of course the name of the 140 00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:18,040 album are inspired. I think that that moment was they 141 00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:19,879 caught lightning in a model as you like to say, 142 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:20,720 it was magic. 143 00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:23,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was magic, and it makes for a great 144 00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:25,279 climactic part of the movie. 145 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 146 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,399 Speaker 2: So, apart from the Lake Minnetaka scene, to me, the 147 00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:33,040 most moving part of the movie is when Prince gives 148 00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:35,959 homage to his dad and you have the big climax 149 00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:37,839 of the Purple Rant end of the movie, you actually 150 00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:40,560 have Purple Rain. And then he goes backstage and the 151 00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:45,319 crowd is just chanting and Jill is crying, and they 152 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,639 bring him back and he does I would die for you, 153 00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:48,639 and Baby, I'm a star. 154 00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:49,199 Speaker 1: All right. 155 00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: Okay, So here's the interesting thing about this. Okay, Throughout 156 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,959 the course of Purple Rain, they did such a great 157 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,480 job of pacing. There is not any ten minute span 158 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:01,079 where there is not at least one song except for 159 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,160 one part. There is a gap of ten minutes and 160 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:05,240 in the middle of that there's a sexy all right. 161 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: Yes, the original storyline as Prince had done it. As 162 00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:12,399 I mentioned before, mom and dad are already dead in 163 00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:16,360 this murder suicide, and the end of his script ends 164 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:19,199 with his suicide, like he dies at the end of 165 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,240 his storyline, and so that obviously has changed. I think 166 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,319 largely because of our first time director here, who's like, 167 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,120 this is not the right story. What you have is 168 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,000 a guy who wonders, will I turn out like my dad? 169 00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:35,120 And that's why that unpleasant. As the abuse scenes are, 170 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:39,320 they're critical to the movie because he's realizing that he 171 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,480 is becoming his dad. He is becoming this violent, abusive boyfriend, right, 172 00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:48,120 and he doesn't want to. He saves himself from becoming that, 173 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,519 and that unlocks another key, which is the fact that 174 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,159 he's this kind of domineering. Your music doesn't matter, Wendy 175 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,279 and Lisa, Nobody cares about you. I'm the star, I'm 176 00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:02,279 the key. Well say what you will about Prince and 177 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,600 his abilities. He did a great job acting in this movie. Yeah, 178 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,639 he really really did a great job. And from what 179 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,799 I've read, he would watch himself every day on the dailies, 180 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,399 watch it over and over again figure out what his 181 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,399 mistakes were. And they said, like his improvement was obvious 182 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,960 from beginning to end on his acting abilities. But then 183 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,799 he's got this moment that he's got to go crazy 184 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,039 and tear this stuff up. And that's when he comes 185 00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:31,159 across his father's music. This is the part that you're 186 00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:33,840 talking about. Before his dad's were like that. His dad 187 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,919 was like, that's the difference between you and me, is 188 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,840 you got to write your stuff down. I've got online 189 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:39,559 right here. Well then he finds out, well, no, his 190 00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:42,879 dad has been writing stuff down, and that's he marries 191 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,720 that with this song that Lisa and Wendy have been 192 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,080 working on the whole movie, and that is the song 193 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,039 that we're led to believe, his Purple Rang. 194 00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 2: It's a great story arc the building of the song 195 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,240 that the clim access to at the end. 196 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: So here's the interesting thing that scene where he's talking 197 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,000 to his dad and his dad is like, that's the 198 00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:03,000 difference between you and me, and You've got to write 199 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:05,840 your music down. Yeah, it's an actual conversation that he 200 00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:08,919 and his dad had. His dad showed up, didn't know 201 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,840 what he was. I mean, he just happened to show 202 00:10:10,919 --> 00:10:13,399 up on the day that they're filming that scene, and 203 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,919 he realizes he's kind of walked into something, so he 204 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,879 hides behind what he thinks is like safe place just 205 00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:21,480 so he can listen, and he hears the scene that 206 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,759 he knows is a conversation that he and his son 207 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,440 have had. And then when the scene is over, Prince 208 00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:30,080 is obviously emotional and he walks around the corner right 209 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,159 into his dad and they have this moment of Wow, 210 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,240 our life just became a scene in a movie. 211 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, for real, that's pretty cool. Yeah, that's really cool. 212 00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:42,279 The interesting thing about his father and the suicide, the 213 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,440 studio wasn't comfortable with a murder suicide, or really even 214 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,200 a suicide. Yeah, and so Albert Magnoly is like, no problem, 215 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,159 he won't die, right, And I'm like, guy, I mean, 216 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,279 he stuck a gun to his head and he didn't die. 217 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: I mean, is that better? 218 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: He missed? 219 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,159 Speaker 5: Wow? 220 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 2: He's allows you shot, Harry, You're alive and you're a 221 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,879 terrible shot. Okay, did you know that there is another 222 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,960 sex scene in Purple Rain that has been deleted. Yeah, 223 00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:15,440 it's the Purple Rain sex scene. Like, you actually got 224 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,399 some purple rain. It was not at the halftime show 225 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:21,879 at the Super Bowl, right right. You have the illusion 226 00:11:22,039 --> 00:11:25,279 of the rain in the background and maybe some lights 227 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,559 or something that makes it look purple. But apparently the 228 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,320 scene was even more awkward and they just it just 229 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,120 didn't really work. But you can see it at the 230 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,080 beginning of the Windows Cry video. There's actually a clip 231 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,840 from it. Yeah, here's the thing I want to. 232 00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: Talk about real quick. 233 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,279 Speaker 2: Okay, the sex scene between Prince and Apollonia. Yes, so 234 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,960 they shot that scene three different ways. They shot a 235 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,240 TV version, a PG version, and an R version. We 236 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,759 get the R version, but it's odd. It's just an 237 00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:54,480 odd scene. 238 00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: Well. I even texted you right after that scene. As 239 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,960 I was watching, I was like, whoa, I do not 240 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,639 remember the V grab that happens in this scene. 241 00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 2: The hands wonder for sure. Yeah, but there's no nudity. 242 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: Nope, although you can pretty well see through her paintings. 243 00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: Okay, so I've got a couple of little interesting tidbits 244 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:14,799 on production Purple Range. Okay, so Prince and his good 245 00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:17,960 buddy Morris Day high school friends and bandmates. 246 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:18,279 Speaker 1: Yep. 247 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,279 Speaker 2: According to one of the guys in the Time, mister 248 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,679 Jellybean Johnson, they got in a fistfight on the set 249 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,559 of Purple Range. Oh so, as you said before, Morris 250 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,759 Day had a substance abuse problem. He would show up late, 251 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,600 he would show up not at all, he would not 252 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,320 go to dance lessons, and just generally be a huge 253 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,159 pain in the butt to everyone. Prince had enough of 254 00:12:36,159 --> 00:12:39,240 it one day, and apparently they got into it pretty good. 255 00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:43,759 Speaker 1: Wow. So the scene where the Time is doing jungle Love, 256 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,399 this is this really a memorable part where the guys 257 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,720 are dancing like they're up on the balcony and you've 258 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,480 got them all dancing synchronicity together. Yes. So that dance 259 00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:57,720 group was known as Game Boys, and they later like 260 00:12:57,879 --> 00:13:00,759 three of those group of the group members Tony Moseley, 261 00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:05,960 Kirk Johnson, and Damon Dixon became members of Prince's band, 262 00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:10,440 The New Power Generation. They're also background dancers on Graffiti Bridge. 263 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, not a big, not a big, not so much. 264 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,039 Morris Day says a total of thirteen words to the kid. 265 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,279 Yeah you know how many the words the kid says 266 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,840 to Morris Day, that would be a Goose eggainst zero 267 00:13:25,159 --> 00:13:25,480 view the. 268 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,399 Speaker 1: One More Thing yep. 269 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,519 Speaker 2: During the production, Albert Magnola comes to Prince and he says, listen, 270 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,399 I've got this music montage, and I want a song 271 00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:38,120 that kind of encapsulates all of the drama from the movie, 272 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,840 just kind of carries us through all the emotions that 273 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,440 the kid is going through. Right, you got problems with mom, 274 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,559 You've got problems with dad, You've got problems with your girlfriend, 275 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:48,919 you got problems with your band. Can you come up 276 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,480 with something? So Prince is like, yeah, I think I 277 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:52,360 can come up with something. The next Day comes back 278 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,600 two songs. One of them when does cry. 279 00:13:55,639 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: Wow you forgot the bass. We'll get into that when 280 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,559 we go track by track, So one more thing yep. 281 00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:08,080 Just before Prince plays beautiful ones when Morris Day is 282 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,919 trying to pick up Apolonia, remember he leaves the girls 283 00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:12,639 and he goes and sits down at the table that 284 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,120 Apollonia is at. Yes, all of his pickup lines are 285 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:20,919 paraphrase lines from the Times songs. So Chili saus comes 286 00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:23,720 from ice Cream, Castle comes from Jungle Love, and the 287 00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:26,559 bird What time is it? Yeah? That's actually yeah, the 288 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,000 title of their second album. 289 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: I heard that Albert Magnoli sat down with Morris Day 290 00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:34,120 and Jerome and said, all right, guys, here's what the 291 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,759 script says. Uh huh, Now, how would you say it right? 292 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,600 And they would say, well, I would say this, you know, 293 00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:41,240 I would say that that line, how's the family? That's 294 00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:41,759 More's Day. 295 00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:57,279 Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, let's jump back over to Footloose. You know, 296 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,159 we talked about casting already, but let's talk about who 297 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,879 gave the best performance, right, yeah, okay, So we've got 298 00:15:02,919 --> 00:15:06,919 a lot of incredible actors. So you think Kevin. 299 00:15:06,679 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: Bacon good, but I wouldn't say he's the best. John 300 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,279 Letcott again excellent, but not the best performance. 301 00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:17,759 Speaker 1: Lori singer, No what who do you have? 302 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,159 Speaker 3: Hey? 303 00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: Listen. 304 00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: They all did a great job, including Chris Bean, sarahj 305 00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:23,799 Justica Parker, Dian Weist. They all did a great job. 306 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,919 But the person who gave the greatest performance in Footlers 307 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,480 is the kid who falls asleep in church at the 308 00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:35,360 very beginning. When his dad wakes him up, he looks 309 00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:37,440 like he wishes he were dead. 310 00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:43,279 Speaker 1: That was a memorable There's not a better performance. That 311 00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:45,679 was for real, real stuff. 312 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: Look I've been in church a lot of times, and 313 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:50,320 I guarantee I've looked like that a lot of times too. 314 00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:55,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so let's let's talk a little bit about 315 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,000 prep work that these guys did for their acting performances. Okay. 316 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,240 So Kevin Bacon was twenty four at the time that 317 00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:04,440 he was going to do this performance, and so he's like, 318 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,080 am I still in touch with what high schoolers are doing? Right? 319 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,960 And so he hit up the principle of a local 320 00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:12,440 high school and said, Hey, I'd like to come, you know, 321 00:16:12,559 --> 00:16:15,600 check out your high school. And he had this plan that, 322 00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:17,919 like he was going to be like John Travolta in 323 00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:20,960 Saturday Night Fever, trying to strut through the place and 324 00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:24,279 be cool and stuff, and he ended up having an 325 00:16:24,279 --> 00:16:26,519 experience that was completely different than they expected. 326 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 5: Yeah. 327 00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:30,159 Speaker 2: So he walked in like mister tough guy and realized 328 00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:33,759 pretty quickly this is very uncomfortable. So he lowered his eyes, 329 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,960 lowered his head, tried not to be noticed, and felt 330 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,519 very alone, isolated, even scared. 331 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was wearing a tie, like a skinny tie 332 00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:45,120 and literally got made fun of for the skinny tie, 333 00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:47,960 like the line of the movie hey nice tie. It 334 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,720 came from that experience, and so it's really truly interesting 335 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,840 because I think that frames up a much better movie 336 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,480 if you've got a character who's like kind of happen 337 00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:00,519 to duck his head and he wants to be cool, 338 00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,360 but he's struggling. I mean, he's struggling throughout the beginning 339 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,240 of this thing because he's unsure of himself, which would 340 00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:08,640 make sense. I mean, living with your mom to this 341 00:17:08,759 --> 00:17:11,640 new place where nobody knows you, and you're getting hassled. 342 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 2: I mean, you think you're cool, but nobody else thinks 343 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:14,599 you're cool. 344 00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:17,039 Speaker 1: Right, You're doing the stuff that was cool where you 345 00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:19,400 were from, but everybody here seems to think that that's 346 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,319 the devil's music. I know, hey, you know what that 347 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,400 reminds me too. 348 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,839 Speaker 2: When they first explained to him that dancing is illegal. Yeah, 349 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,799 he's like jump back, jump back. That was a term 350 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,240 that Kevin Bacon actually brought to the script, right, and 351 00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:37,160 they thought, all right, that's cool enough to leave in. 352 00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:41,279 Speaker 1: So yeah, okay. So it's interesting because John Lithcow kind 353 00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:43,880 of did the same thing on his own. So he 354 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,519 wasn't raised in like a Christian household, It wasn't a 355 00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:49,279 part of his upbringing, so he wanted to know what 356 00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:52,640 it was like, and so he called a local minister 357 00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:55,200 there in the town that they were filming at and 358 00:17:55,279 --> 00:18:00,440 posed as someone who was having spiritual difficulties and you know, 359 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,640 I've got questions, can you help me out? And the 360 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,960 guy was like, oh, of course, and met with him 361 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,400 and talked with him for hours, and he said, I 362 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,200 felt like a total snake in the grass because this 363 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:15,519 was just the nicest guy, really persuasive about Jesus and 364 00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:18,440 his love, and it was just like I felt lower 365 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,920 than low. But again, that's the perfect thing to inform 366 00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:23,680 his performance for this movie. 367 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think that's awesome. That's super fascinating that both 368 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,160 of those actors would probably have taken their role in 369 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,000 a different direction had they not done those two things. 370 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,519 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, so. I can remember as a kid, I 371 00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:40,000 thought John Lefga's character was just this awful, you know, 372 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,359 tyrannical human being. But watching as an adult, I'm like, no, 373 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,559 this guy is the guy who's like, he's trying to 374 00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:49,759 do his best. He's trying hard to make things right 375 00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:53,359 and protect his flock because he's lost one of them, 376 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,480 and the one that he lost was his own kid. Yeah, 377 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,480 that's a huge that's a huge deal. And so when 378 00:18:58,519 --> 00:19:00,559 I go back and I look and I'm like, who's 379 00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:03,039 the hero? Well, you got two. You have two heroes 380 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:06,119 in here, two guys who make character shifts. And so 381 00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:09,960 that Kevin Bacon, going from the guy who's insecure and 382 00:19:10,039 --> 00:19:13,160 trying his best to you know, be a part of something, 383 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,119 finds this thing to latch onto, this cause to latch onto, 384 00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:20,599 and then he gets to stand up and talk in 385 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,119 front of the entire town. And it's not something you 386 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,200 can tell, it's not something that he enjoys. As a 387 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,279 matter of fact, that Kevin Bacon, the actor said, I 388 00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:30,319 really don't like public speaking, Like it was difficult for 389 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,680 me to do that scene because I'm not used to 390 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,079 talking in front of a large group of people like that. 391 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,519 Speaker 2: He brokes that in hives. 392 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, I means kind of weird. I mean, he's a 393 00:19:39,599 --> 00:19:42,240 Broadway actor before this, but I guess, you know, the 394 00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:44,599 lights are down, you don't see people, you just in 395 00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:46,680 the moment. But with this one, he's trying to talk 396 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,640 to an entire crowd of people. And as for a 397 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,279 lot of folks, it's really intimidating. But he it's because 398 00:19:53,319 --> 00:19:55,640 of that he gets that character shift where he's like 399 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,039 he finally gets to pound the table and say this 400 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,680 is wrong and he stands up for something where he's 401 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,079 been kind of beat down through the beginning of the episode. 402 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,640 And then you got John Lithgow who sees, you know, 403 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,160 he's doing all he can to protect people. He's trying 404 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,200 to stop what he sees as this menacing thing. But 405 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,200 then he starts to realize at the book burning right 406 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,559 after he has this horrible encounter with his daughter in 407 00:20:19,599 --> 00:20:22,920 the church, he goes because they're burning books in front 408 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,119 of the library and he sees that his flock has 409 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,160 taken it too far right. It's like he's like, oh no, 410 00:20:28,279 --> 00:20:31,559 this is you know, what I meant for good has 411 00:20:31,599 --> 00:20:33,799 turned into something evil and I've got to I got 412 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:34,839 to change my perspective. 413 00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:37,839 Speaker 2: As that's really interesting that you say that. So for me, 414 00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:41,279 when you say give me a movie that you had 415 00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:44,240 one perspective as a young person and that perspective has 416 00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:47,599 changed over the years.

And I want 471 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,440 to say one of the things is when I hadn't 472 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,240 brought Arlen up. So just a couple of other little stories. 473 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,240 He says he can remember there were some guys who 474 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,119 were trying to break dance behind the school and cop 475 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,200 came and told him if they didn't stop that they'd 476 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,480 get arrested. Now keep in mind he's younger, like he's 477 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:41,319 he graduated in the late eighties, but this law was 478 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:46,000 still a law up until nineteen ninety two in Elmore City. Wow, 479 00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:49,759 I mean that's twelve years after they have their first prom. 480 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,640 Finally they changed the law to allow for public dancing. 481 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,240 He said. It was actually the second time that those 482 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,839 guys had gotten caught. The first time they got caught 483 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,559 was by the shop teacher and he just wailed on 484 00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:01,640 him with a paddle old school. 485 00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:07,319 Speaker 2: Which again, right, that's awesome. Hey, you guys, break it up, 486 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,119 no more breakdancing. Back here and get the paddle out, 487 00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:13,519 grab your ankles. So Kevin Bacon had to do some dancing. 488 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,480 He had to do some gymnastics. He actually said that 489 00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:18,759 during the rage dance. Okay, let's let's talk about the 490 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:29,640 rage dance for a second. So Ren finally gets tired 491 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,279 of it. He's had enough, so he goes to this 492 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,720 warehouse and he rage dances right, and he smokes and 493 00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:37,519 he drinks and he dances right. This is the Rebellious Act. 494 00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:39,279 And it's a little bit it's I mean, it's a 495 00:24:39,279 --> 00:24:40,039 lot corny. 496 00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: And so like cheet, but the music is great and 497 00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:44,359 so we go along with absolutely. 498 00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 2: But during that scene, I think there were five total 499 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,079 people involved, including Kevin Bacon. So you have a gymnast, 500 00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:55,079 you have like a ballet dancer, you have Kevin Bacon, 501 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,119 you have a dance and so there's five people involved 502 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,799 in that scene.

Yeah, my shoelace 540 00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:49,880 is stuck. 541 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 2: Around the acceler and then he finally is like, okay, 542 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:53,440 here it comes. 543 00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: I can't get off, and so now my only option 544 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,599 is to just keep going forward and not like go 545 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,440 off the end of the ditch. And I wondered because, 546 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,079 like before when I had watched it, him, like how 547 00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:07,000 does he get a shoelace off so easily? Afterwards, when 548 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,799 he finally stops and it starts again, and it stops again, 549 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,640 you can see him yank his foot really hard. I 550 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,079 can give that up as he's just finally like I'm 551 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,079 ripping this thing off, and then he starts cheering like 552 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,640 he's the hero and didn't Yeah, holding out. 553 00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:24,759 Speaker 2: For the Hero, And you overlay it with the great 554 00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:26,599 Bonnie Tyler song holding Out for a Hero. 555 00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 4: It is a great scene. 556 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: It's funny, it's entertaining, and it's thrilling. 557 00:27:47,079 --> 00:27:50,319 Speaker 1: Totally, totally great scene, one of the best of the movie. 558 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,799 Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know if we talked about this. 559 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,079 All this was filmed in Utah. 560 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, he went to Kevin Bacon went to a high 561 00:27:55,759 --> 00:27:58,920 school in Utah. John Lyndgusov preacher in Utah, and the 562 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,720 tractor race was in Utah. 563 00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Utah County, Utah. It's like the heart of Utah. 564 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,279 And when they talked to Herbert Ross, Dean Pitchford was like, well, 565 00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:09,279 I was kind of thinking like the wheat fields of Oklahoma, 566 00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:12,359 and Herbert Ross is like, listen, trust me. When there's 567 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,480 nothing on the screen, but there's mountains in the background, 568 00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:17,880 it's more interesting to look out. Just just go with 569 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,720 me on this. And they're like, okay, yeah. 570 00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:24,599 Speaker 1: I mean, you cannot beat the wheat fields in northern Oklahoma. 571 00:28:24,759 --> 00:28:28,599 Whenever it's June harvest time, it's wonderful. It's like golden 572 00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:31,680 oceans out there. But that's only for about a month 573 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,119 out of the year. Yeah, so not a good time 574 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:34,759 to try to do that. 575 00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 2: One more thing, I wanted to talk about the dance 576 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:51,480 montage with Kevin Bacon and Chris Penn where he's teaching 577 00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:54,960 him how to dance. So there's this whole dance montage 578 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,319 set to Let's Hear It for the Boy by the 579 00:28:57,359 --> 00:29:00,920 Denise Williams, and Kevin Bacon is taking Crispin under his 580 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,720 wing and he's teaching him how to dance in preparation 581 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,359 for the prom It's interesting because they scattered around and 582 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,599 it's it's in the gym, it's at farm, it's in 583 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,359 the fields, it's at the football field. 584 00:29:12,119 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: It's all over the cars. 585 00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:15,039 Speaker 5: Right. 586 00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 2: So what they did was while they were filming it, 587 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,559 the last scene of every day on the shooting schedule 588 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:36,759 was the dance scene, and so Kevin Bacon and Crispan 589 00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:40,000 would dance. Here's the interesting thing. The song that they 590 00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:42,880 had was not Let's Hear It for the Boy. It 591 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,680 was one of the original songs that they have, which 592 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,200 we'll talk about when we go track by track next week. 593 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,400 But when they would do their dancing the last scene 594 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,680 of every day, and then they cobbled this montage together. 595 00:29:53,839 --> 00:29:56,039 And that's why it's really cool to see a ton 596 00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:57,839 of different locations and they're dancing. 597 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,119 Speaker 1: Sounds great. Okay, let's jump back over to the performances 598 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:11,960 in Purple Range. Okay, we talked before all of the 599 00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:14,960 characters were pretty much I mean they were based on 600 00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:18,799 their real life counterparts, right right. But you've got one 601 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,519 critical character that is an actor that came from the 602 00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:25,960 mod squad, Clarence Williams the third He is a guy 603 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,279 who is a driving force through this whole movie, right right, 604 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:35,079 So it's not a complicated script, right, it's boy meets girl, 605 00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:40,200 Boy loses girl, Boy realizes that he's enacting the abusive 606 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,079 behavior of his father and mother and realizes he should change, 607 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,640 and then also realizes that he's got this commonality with 608 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,880 his father. Boy gets girl back, Boy. 609 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 2: Plays amazing song. Win's girl back. That's right, right. 610 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,759 Speaker 1: So at that point, you know the scene where he's 611 00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:00,240 talking to Prince and he's at he talked to the 612 00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:02,079 kid and he's at the end of his rope and 613 00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:05,400 he asked him about having a girlfriend. Yeah, and he's 614 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,079 like lover. He's like, you know, I don't know yet, right, 615 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,039 and he's like, don't ever get married. Was so powerful 616 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,119 that Albert Magnoli said they wept as they watched them 617 00:31:16,119 --> 00:31:20,160 perform the scene. Strong, strong performance. And then again, the 618 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,000 reason I say he's the driving force is because of 619 00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:26,119 that change that has to occur in the kid like 620 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,039 he's doesn't want to be like his father, he doesn't 621 00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:31,319 want to be like his mother. But then he as 622 00:31:31,359 --> 00:31:35,079 time goes on, he sees himself becoming them, which I 623 00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:37,920 think was the idea from the beginning, when Prince first 624 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,240 wrote these words down on notebook paper. That was the 625 00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:44,559 whole notion, was that he had become his mother and 626 00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:47,680 had become his father, and that's why he wanted to 627 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,960 play those parts himself in flashback scenes. But obviously the 628 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,559 way they did it was much better than that idea. 629 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,200 But he's got to make that change. Did I tell 630 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,720 you that like the end of the movie that Prince wrote, 631 00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:02,839 he commits suicide, Like that's the end of that movie, 632 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,240 Like he puts in his mom's ear rings and he 633 00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:08,000 goes ahead and commits suicide. So thank goodness that they 634 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,920 didn't do it that way. This was not this could 635 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,640 not be a downer movie with the music that you have. 636 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,079 Speaker 2: No, no, they thank you for not making that choice. 637 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: Right. 638 00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:19,559 Speaker 2: By the way, that advice don't ever get married, Yeah, 639 00:32:19,559 --> 00:32:22,559 that's actual advice from Prince's dad to Prince as a 640 00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:23,079 young man. 641 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,839 Speaker 1: It is very biographical this movie. Yep. Yeah. 642 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,359 Speaker 2: By the way. I don't know if you know this, 643 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,559 and I don't want to get too much into music. 644 00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:34,680 We're talking pretty strictly about movie. But when Prince and 645 00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:38,319 Albert Magnoli were working on Purple Rain, Prince gave him 646 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,240 one hundred songs to choose. From one of those songs 647 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,599 that was not in that hundred Purple Rain, right, another 648 00:32:43,599 --> 00:32:44,759 one win dubscry right. 649 00:32:44,839 --> 00:32:47,039 Speaker 1: All of I mean, those two and one other that 650 00:32:47,079 --> 00:32:50,240 made it onto the soundtrack all came through the live 651 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,640 performance in nineteen eighty three. It went third nineteen eighty three, 652 00:32:53,759 --> 00:32:57,599 Wendy Melvoin's first performance. It was, like I said, last time. 653 00:32:57,759 --> 00:33:00,400 Albert was in the crowd when they did that performs 654 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,960 and when he heard Purple Rain, that was what made 655 00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:04,920 him go to him and say, I would really like 656 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,079 to make this the key song in the movie. It's 657 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,960 so powerful, And Prince said, can we name the movie 658 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,480 Purple Rain? Sounds great, Let's do it, And what a 659 00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:15,839 great name. It's great, that's great. 660 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 2: The scene where Prince's dad is playing the piano, yep, 661 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,200 and he they're having this discussion about that's the difference 662 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,079 between you and me. I don't have to write my 663 00:33:24,119 --> 00:33:27,079 songs down that piano piece of piano music, it's actually 664 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,319 being played by Prince. 665 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,079 Speaker 1: Right, and it ends up in one of Prince's songs. 666 00:33:31,079 --> 00:33:32,759 Speaker 2: It's like it's on computer blue. 667 00:33:32,839 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: It's so hard not to talk about the music on 668 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,440 the movie is all about the music. 669 00:33:36,519 --> 00:33:38,359 Speaker 2: I know, I know. Did you know that Purple Rain 670 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,160 was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by 671 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,640 the Library of Congress. 672 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,039 Speaker 1: Well, it's an incredible move. 673 00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 2: We will get into that. We will get into that. 674 00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:52,240 You know who the only guy who doesn't speak in 675 00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:53,400 the movie from the Revolution? 676 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,519 Speaker 1: Is it Mark Brown? Mark Brown Brown Mark. 677 00:33:56,599 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 2: What an unfortunate nickname. 678 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's terrible. 679 00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 2: So let's move on to the reception and the success 680 00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:05,039 of these movies. 681 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,519 Speaker 1: Right, So both of these movies, the album came out 682 00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:10,000 before the movie, right. 683 00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 2: And that's huge, particularly in Purple Rain's instance. 684 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,679 Speaker 1: I would say it's huge in Footloose's instance as well, Okay, 685 00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:20,800 because I mean, if you don't know those songs already, 686 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,159 there are new songs when you're watching a movie and 687 00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:24,320 they're not as impactful. 688 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,079 Speaker 2: Well, that's true Footloose. 689 00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:28,599 Speaker 1: The album did so well that people would buy the 690 00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:31,719 album having never seen the movie before the fact that 691 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,719 it was getting played on the radio had a huge imbo. 692 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,559 I mean, just like we talked about with Huey Lewis, 693 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,519 Power of Love was the number one song the week 694 00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:42,239 that Back to the Future came out. The very first 695 00:34:42,519 --> 00:34:45,239 cool scene that we see is him skateboarding behind the 696 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,000 cars and that music is what's playing in the background. 697 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,639 And so it's perfect that the album comes out before 698 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,639 and everybody's familiar with these and they are dancing along 699 00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:55,320 with those guys. 700 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,760 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the original ending of Phittlos before we 701 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,000 oh yeah, okay, we kind of this goes a long 702 00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:02,119 with what you were talking about this success. The original 703 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,159 ending was they got the council to agree to let 704 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,559 them have a dance. Yes, And the director, his quote was, 705 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,199 if you spin the whole movie trying to get the car, 706 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,320 when they give you the keys to the car, you 707 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,360 actually possess the car, right, and that's the end of 708 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,000 the story. So they screened it with basically they arrive 709 00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:23,639 at the prom and that's the end, right. 710 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:24,079 Speaker 1: Yeah. 711 00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 2: So Dean Pitchford says, guys, I think we need to 712 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,519 add a song here and let them dance and let 713 00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:33,599 the audience participate in the dance absolutely, And so when 714 00:35:33,639 --> 00:35:36,639 they originally screened it with the just arriving at the 715 00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:39,280 prom and that's the end of the movie, audiences did 716 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,559 not like the movie.

Let me back up a second. 762 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,519 I got a little bit ahead of myself. 763 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: Okay. 764 00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 2: So when they finished the movie, they screened it for 765 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,519 Warner Brothers. They showed it after the first screening, everybody 766 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,000 thought it was a dud zoinks what So Magnoli said, listen, 767 00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:11,159 this movie's going to do forty million dollars. Don't kill 768 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,920 this movie. If you do, it will be a travesty 769 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,920 against art. Let this movie live. And he kind of 770 00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:19,199 had that pounding thing. He said, here's what you do. 771 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,400 Here's your marketing campaign. You put an ad in every 772 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,800 paper saying Warner Brothers presents prints in his first motion picture, 773 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,280 Purple Rain, in every major city that has a black community. 774 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,199 They test it in Culver City, California. The numbers were 775 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,840 so far through the roof that they accused the producer 776 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,639 of stacking the deck. They're like, this is bogus, this 777 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,360 is bull You called all your friends. So what we're 778 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,559 going to do is we're going to screen it two 779 00:38:43,559 --> 00:38:45,159 other places, and we're not going to tell you where 780 00:38:45,159 --> 00:38:46,599 we're going to do it. So they screened it in 781 00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:50,280 Denver and in San Diego, and the same thing happened. 782 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,559 Speaker 1: Numbers through the roof. 783 00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 2: They had to show up multiple times because people would 784 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,079 come back and want to watch it again. Yeah, and 785 00:38:56,119 --> 00:38:58,440 so they were like, well, this is crazy, we don't 786 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,159 get it, but it's it's on fire, right. So that's 787 00:39:01,199 --> 00:39:03,480 when they decided. One of brothers decided to put on 788 00:39:03,639 --> 00:39:07,360 nine hundred screens worldwide and it made close to seventy 789 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:08,599 million dollars that summer. 790 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:09,639 Speaker 1: That's awesome, by. 791 00:39:09,559 --> 00:39:11,599 Speaker 2: The way, if you get a chance to go back 792 00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:15,039 and look at that MTV premiere, yeah, it's super cool. 793 00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:17,599 Speaker 1: All right. So normally this is the point where we 794 00:39:17,639 --> 00:39:19,480 would go into the soundtracks of the movie. 795 00:39:19,559 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Man. 796 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,559 Speaker 2: I'm ready to talk music. 797 00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: Next week.
