Marc ShaimanGUEST
It was just perfection.
Paul LisnekHOST
And in the movie Beaches, it was your idea to actually say, "Let's use Wind Beneath the Wings," when you actually had a dream to write the song that would be, [laughs] uh, the Wind Beneath the Wings.
Marc ShaimanGUEST
Yeah.
Marc ShaimanGUEST
The spot was open for an original song so that an original song could be nominated for an Oscar.
Marc ShaimanGUEST
I didn't know if Bette Midler was gonna be very angry with me about writing all that I wrote in the book, because she very much likes to keep the how to, how the sausage was made to herself, or at least she used to.
Marc ShaimanGUEST
And she used to sometimes get upset with me and others if we told too much about, you know, like the fact that The Wind Beneath My Wings.
Marc ShaimanGUEST
If I talked about that in an interview way back when, when Beaches came out, she was like, "You know, not everyone needs to know everything.
Marc ShaimanGUEST
You know, you don't need to"-
Andrew GazeHOST
Are those last two he reeled off, aren't they?
Andy MaherHOST
Oh, I can't believe no one's gone with Beaches yet, 'cause that is a dead set tearjerker.
Andy MaherHOST
Shawshank Redemption brings the tears out when they get together-
Andrew GazeHOST
Yes
Kimberly-Rose WolterHOST
I fell in love, and I was such a super fan, and I thought she was so amazing.
Kimberly-Rose WolterHOST
And I felt like, you know the girls in Beaches? I know you know that-
Luka LymanGUEST
Oh
Kimberly-Rose WolterHOST
... because you love Bette Midler.
Mayim BialikHOST
Deep in left field, this one came out.
Mayim BialikHOST
Johann is a huge Beaches fan.
Mayim BialikHOST
[laughs]
Jonathan CohenHOST
Deep cut.
Mayim BialikHOST
A very deep cut.
Mayim BialikHOST
When I was 12, I played the young Bette Midler in the movie Beaches.
Mayim BialikHOST
It was not my first-
Jonathan CohenHOST
You're still playing her
KevinHOST
I mean, she has this fascinating career, 'cause she's like got this moment in the '80s.
KevinHOST
Like she's in this, she's in Hannah and Her Sisters, she's in Beaches.
MichaelHOST
Mm-hmm.
KevinHOST
Uh, which I will forever remember as a film that my mom, uh-
KevinHOST
Uh, she said the natural-
MichaelHOST
It's funny, our moms are very...
MichaelHOST
Well, the c- the Barbs loved Beaches.
KevinHOST
Ugh.
Catherine AlcornGUEST
that in one interview.
Catherine AlcornGUEST
That's one of the most famous scenes from Beaches.
Catherine AlcornGUEST
All of the fans will know it, of course.
Catherine AlcornGUEST
What have you heard about the Divine Miss Bet?
6 MINS LATER
Catherine AlcornGUEST
I'm a fan of hers.
Catherine AlcornGUEST
I revere her as an artist and a human being, but I was never a fanatic.
Catherine AlcornGUEST
I first saw Beaches when I was 10 years old in the cinema with Annabelle Berkman and her mum, and I remember just being enthralled and completely gobsmacked by this performance I was seeing.
Catherine AlcornGUEST
She was... six-dimensional to me in that cinema.
Thomas HortonHOST
And so Halloween House is on everyone's mind when they take a general meeting with Bette Midler.
Thomas HortonHOST
After starring in Disney's Beaches and making it a huge hit for the studio under the Buena Vista Pictures wing, Bette Midler had become kind of a huge star for Disney and done several Disney projects.
Thomas HortonHOST
It was at a meeting with her to discuss her next project with the studio that she was pitched Halloween House and agreed to star in the project.
Thomas HortonHOST
Rewrites are requested yet again now to kind of tailor the project to Midler's strengths.
21 MINS LATER
Thomas HortonHOST
For anyone who didn't know, The Devil is played by famous director Gary Marshall.
Thomas HortonHOST
His wife is played by his sister, who is also very famous director Penny Marshall.
Thomas HortonHOST
And this was all done as a favor to Midler because Gary Marshall had directed Beaches.
Brandon SparksHOST
oh yeah and
Frank MendozaHOST
And huge thanks to everyone who voted as well.
Frank MendozaHOST
Interaction is the name of the game, so as Bette Midler warbles to Barbara Hershey in 1988's Beaches, "You are the wind beneath my wings." The interactive listener trivia segment and the cooking segment Cinema Munch will be back before you know it, so keep your eyes on my socials at the information that I already said.
Frank MendozaHOST
And without further delay, here is Josh being the invincible badass that he is.
Frank MendozaHOST
[upbeat music] Welcome to another episode of Reels of Cinema, and I cannot be any more stoked because I have with me here today Josh Robbins.
JohnHOST
Like, can you believe this acting? So good.
JohnHOST
Beaches.
JohnHOST
Jerry kind of turns his head slowly to the left, looking at her.
JohnHOST
And right here, we get some internal dialogue from him.
JohnHOST
Oh,
AdamHOST
yeah, that's a good point.
JohnHOST
And I think I better just start by asking you, have you ever seen Beaches? No, I haven't.
JohnHOST
You know, I have not seen this movie, but I'm going to spoil beaches for everybody here.
