Frank SantopadreHOST
And forgive me if this is wrong, or my friend Rick Willett, who's a John Patrick Shanley fan, will correct me.
Frank SantopadreHOST
But this other movie, he was given the shot to direct after Moonstruck, and he made Joe vs. the Volcano.
Gilbert GottfriedHOST
Oh, yeah, a big,
Frank SantopadreHOST
big, big hit.
RobHOST
And I was like, I usually take like a big bag, like a, like a Joe versus the volcano luggage.
RobHOST
If anyone's ever seen that movie, someone laughed and,
ChristinaHOST
Have you seen Joe vs. the Volcano?
ChristinaHOST
No, I have
RobHOST
not.
RobHOST
But they're huge pieces of luggage.
RobHOST
Oh.
RobHOST
So that's what I always had, is a large Joe vs. the Volcano.
Liam O'DonnellHOST
What are you talking about? But we just
Doug TilleyHOST
talked about Joe versus the Volcano.
Doug TilleyHOST
They're the spiritual follow-ups.
Liam O'DonnellHOST
Unfortunately.
21 MINS LATER
Liam O'DonnellHOST
Okay, let's talk about Carole Kane as Sheldene.
Liam O'DonnellHOST
How did you feel about her in this role? How did you feel about the role? What are you thinking?
Doug TilleyHOST
it's a small role yes it is not as small as Joe versus the volcano which is literally just basically a cameo this one is a character but she gets basically an introductory scene where she meets Steve Martin in the grocery store and she's very funny there she's basically passing out by how entranced and had how how how charismatic he is she just overcome by him he immediately marries her we see we see them in Vegas getting married and And I don't think we then see her Until the end of the movie where we find out Because he's already moved on to The Melanie Mehron character at that point And yeah she gets some sort of Happy ending at the end But she is very mistreated When you think about her The whole plot from her perspective Where she thinks he's just going to the office in the morning Then gets arrested and put in a prison cell And she like makes him a pillow And then he just divorces her out of nowhere Yeah It's very sad for her.
Doug TilleyHOST
I'm glad they gave her some sort of satisfaction at the end.
KevinHOST
I agree.
KevinHOST
I like Joe vs. the Volcano a lot.
KevinHOST
And also The Birbs.
KevinHOST
I knew you were going to say it.
JoshHOST
Mm-hmm.
JesseHOST
And it's ama- uh, uh, s- even more amazing given that not only did you have like Frank Marshall, Kathleen Kennedy, uh, behind this, but also Oscar-winning screenwriter John Patrick Shanley [laughs] who Oscar winner for "Moonstruck," um, one of my, one of my favorite movies, director and writer of "Joe Versus the Volcano," another one of my favorite movies.
JesseHOST
Um, I don't know the history of how he g- they kind of threw this at him and said, "Make something of this book." And this is kind of...
JesseHOST
He was like, "Well, uh, what about this?" And then, [chuckles] and that's what they had.
Scroobius PipHOST
Danny Dara in Mobland because he would fit perfectly but he's not that's not the kind of thing he does but Rivals was a prime example of that he's really good just let him do something that's a
Ralf LittleGUEST
bit different exactly take anyone under I don't know 30 and explain to them that Tom Hanks used to be like his first 8 films were the man with one red shoe Joe vs Volcano
Scroobius PipHOST
oh yeah he
Ralf LittleGUEST
used to be just like a fun big silly comedy actor and they're like Tom Hanks.
Jess MorrissetteHOST
I have a, I have brain fog, uh, you know, which, uh, you know...
Jess MorrissetteHOST
And I also have whatever Tom Hanks had at the beginning of Joe Versus the Volcano.
Jess MorrissetteHOST
Uh, whatever sort of brain.
Jess MorrissetteHOST
I had that too, you know.

RyanHOST
I understand that this is Sleepless in Seattle, but it's also Joe Versus the Volcano, you know? But it's also You've Got Mail.
RyanHOST
But damn it, I just wanna see Powell and Loy fall in love, and that's all that matters to me.
RyanHOST
And to get that along with a fun comedy like this, I had so much fun with The Thin Man, The Great Ziegfeld exists, and then this.
