TroyHOST
Compared to the final version, we're going to be slightly different.
TroyHOST
This is basically written by Sam Egan, John Paragon, and Cassandra Peterson.
TroyHOST
So in the script, the actual lawyer is actually replaced by an actual game show host.
TroyHOST
And according to the script, they wanted to get Bob Barker as the game show host to do his whole entire thing.
Jonathan GlassnerGUEST
There's all kinds of different reasons that happen.
Jonathan GlassnerGUEST
And ultimately, Sam Egan stuck.
Jonathan GlassnerGUEST
And so he was there to the end with us.
Jonathan GlassnerGUEST
And he's a great guy, by the way.

TroyHOST
So we're pretty close to the final version of the movie to begin with.
TroyHOST
And this particular script is written by Sam Egan, John Paragon, and Cassandra Peterson.
TroyHOST
So this is probably, out of the times that I've done this sort of thing between the different Movies by Minute podcasts, this is probably the most exact to the final version as the script can get.
TroyHOST
Like, the words are almost exactly as they are, but it's kind of weird to...

We first heard about Dustin's story in The Boston Globe.
Brian ReedHOST
Thanks to producer Patrick McNamee King.
Callum SinclairHOST
and also John Paragon was in Peewee's Big Adventure as like one of the actors
Michael Lee RichardsonHOST
when he's on the Warner Brothers lot he's in this film as well but we will hear more on that later They brought in Sam Egan, who was an experienced TV writer, who'd written an episode of The Fall Guy called October the 31st, which was specifically written to guest star Elvira and the veteran horror movie actor John Carradine.
Callum SinclairHOST
Yes, so we've got the Blu-ray of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, which has a really good making of documentary with interviews with lots of the people involved in the making of the film, including Sam Egan.
Callum SinclairHOST
And it's quite a cute bit where it cuts between Sam Egan talking about Elvira chatting with him and saying, yeah, you've really got my character on this script for the fall guy.
Callum SinclairHOST
you really know what you're doing with the character of Elvira.
Callum SinclairHOST
And then it cuts to Cassandra and she's like, I can't really remember why Sammy King got involved.
Michael Lee RichardsonHOST
You do get the sense that, you know, John Paragon and Cassandra Peterson, they're from this comedy groundlings tradition.
Michael Lee RichardsonHOST
So I don't suspect they were sitting down and writing stories.
Brian ReedHOST
Not admitting any wrongdoing, that does not give me confidence that the company's learned its lesson.
