Real Genius

And to wrap up this conversation, you know, obviously the gentleman did 103 roles that I know of, and we've talked about four this month.

In past seasons, we've talked about things like Real Genius, Top Secret.

Yeah, more of his early stuff.

But yeah, I want to talk a little bit more about some of the other films that he did that we might enjoy.

Well, bummer that he's a douche.

I mean, Top Secret, I think, was his first movie, and then Real Genius was the second.

And when you think about that guy coming out of the gate and then being a lead in those two movies, I mean, you got one that is... slapstick zucker brothers abrams and he's singing in it he's singing all the actual songs and then real genius second movie follow-up i mean that guy came out swinging and i don't know i guess by the time willow had happened and all that what's interesting is what 1989

when's top gun

Top Gun's like 86.

I don't need to hear anything else.

This guy can go to hell.

Except Willow and Top Secret and Real Genius.

The shirts got scared that they might do something on screen that the Caltech shirts wouldn't like, and the Caltech shirts might sue the Hollywood shirts, and so they stopped using Caltech name.

And in the film, which I adored, what was it called? Real Genius? Yeah.

Real Genius.

They were at Pacific Tech, all right? That was where all the smart kids were.

So of course, Pasadena is in, I can't say foothills of Hollywood, but you have a proximal awareness of this huge industry.

Okay, so then comes John Grease, who is the desperate man who played also Wolfman.

He was born in 57, and his memorable roles include Napoleon Dynamite, Real Genius, Lost, and The White Lotus.

Oh, he got to be Jennifer Coolidge's boyfriend.

Oh,

really? Yeah.

So in 1985, he appeared with Val Kilner in Real Genius as Laszlo, a student.

So, I mean, he who mysteriously disappeared and had been living in the steam tunnel under the dorm.

Oh, that guy.

I don't remember Pure Country being that bad.

Just one of the guys, Cavemen, Blue Thunder, The Gleaming the Cube, Arachnophobia, and Real Genius.

Yeah.

I would watch any of them.

february 4th of 95 for a wcw main event episode taping so and i can't remember when that aired but uh that's i believe that's where's he going huh wouldn't you like to know

yeah i guess i'll never know i'll never see that or real genius

that's right

you was fuck

Just enjoy it.

Just enjoy the ride.

Now everybody's wondering if I've actually seen real genius.

Have you? Is it that or is it weird science?

If it doesn't, fuck it.

I saw some deleted scene from Real Genius that I had never seen before.

And it's Chris Knight, Val Kilmer's character, talking to...

What's the main doctor's name? Doesn't matter.

It was a great time.

They're doing another screening of Real Genius this week.

So I'll be back again just exhibiting with Fanbase Press's books.

But it was a delight.

And for me, I am terrible at costumes.

I was Val Kilmer from Real Genius one year.

I do baseball player a lot just because I got various jerseys.

And now that John Maltz has 3D printed me a phaser and a communicator and I got a shirt and I can be Captain...
