MJHOST
Yeah.
MJHOST
So yeah, uh, with this script, the action would be bouncing around quite a lot between an older bearded Tommy Doyle, who's partnered with an also grown Lindsey Wallace, 'cause we need to get another, you know, character's name who we've heard before, and there'd be a number of flashbacks that revealed Michael Myers' missing years.
MJHOST
This would be revealed through Loomis' old journals.
MJHOST
That would kind of be the framing device for those.
PavHOST
Good point.
CodyHOST
But like she didn't, she didn't really pay attention to anyone until someone said, uh, "Hey, wanna go watch TV with Tommy Doyle?" Of course Of course.
CodyHOST
Thinking with your panties there, Lindsey, aren't you?
PavHOST
Learning from her babysitter-
8 MINS LATER
CodyHOST
Mm.
PavHOST
Like this, he doesn't kill kids.
PavHOST
He doesn't kill anyone for 54 minutes, so you're Tommy in this situation.
PavHOST
It's gonna be an expensive therapy bill, but it's not worse than Interstellar.
Swanthula BouletGUEST
Yeah.
James A. JanisseHOST
But I think it's supposed to be Tommy, uh, Tommy Doyle.
Dracmorda BouletGUEST
Oh, he's the one that gets sh- oh, Tommy Doyle.
James A. JanisseHOST
Yeah.
Dracmorda BouletGUEST
Oh, wait.
Dracmorda BouletGUEST
Yeah.
Swanthula BouletGUEST
Oh.
James A. JanisseHOST
Just Tommy, but Tommy Doyle who in the first movie is one of the kids being babysat by, uh, by Jamie.
Ashley ThomasGUEST
I don't know.
Ashley ThomasGUEST
Like, with Anthony Michael Hall's character, we, Tommy Doyle and Lindsey Wallace, uh, and I, I'm thinking just from a very practical standpoint, they were little kids in 1978 who experienced something truly horrible.
Ashley ThomasGUEST
Did these kids get counseling? Did these kids get therapy of any kind? 1978 in the United States, probably not.
Ashley ThomasGUEST
And my thought is, is this a commentary as well not only on individual trauma and, and not reconciling with individual trauma, but is this also a commentary [laughs] on how people who have experienced trauma and haven't, you know, gotten the help they need to help process that, how does that also ripple out into the community? Obviously, this is a really terrible tragedy that has affected this small town, and it will be a thing that is talked about in this small town, and, and in, as you, as you said, mythologized in a type of way.
Ashley ThomasGUEST
So I understand this a little more because that is where I live [laughs] or that is where I lived w- for, you know, for 25 years of my life.
Ashley ThomasGUEST
That is where I grew up.
Ashley ThomasGUEST
And I, I have a little more empathy for Tommy Doyle and for Lindsey Wallace and the way they are reacting in this situation.
Ashley ThomasGUEST
Do I think they're right? No.
Lee RussellHOST
I like...
Lee RussellHOST
I like, did any other, did either of you guys pick up on the fact that fucking Tommy Doyle, Lindsay Wallace are characters in this film?
GregGUEST
They are.
GregGUEST
Yeah, they are.
GregGUEST
And you have to basically look at the credits on IMDb to figure it out.
GregGUEST
Really?
Lee RussellHOST
Yeah, Tommy Doyle is a blonde kid who's a friend of like one of the dudes that gets killed later on.
Lee RussellHOST
And he's just like, oh, hey, the sheriff's daughter there would fuck you or whatever.
Matt SalisHOST
The question was, um, there was a mega star who had his film debut two times in 1995, his first two big films.
Matt SalisHOST
One of them was as a young adult Tommy Doyle in Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers.
Matt SalisHOST
And, uh, we didn't give the other movie that he was a star in.
Matt SalisHOST
I think that would've, would've put it over the top.
ButcherHOST
It really gets deep into the legend of Thorne and why Michael does what he does.
ButcherHOST
The return of Tommy Doyle.
ButcherHOST
In this film, now not by the original actor that played him, I think
Schizo the ClownHOST
Paul
ColHOST
He digs through the floorboards until he recovers the mask, the classic Mikey Myers mask, and the knife that he used, the knife that he killed his sister Judith.
ColHOST
Laurie walks over to the house and is greeted by young Tommy Doyle.
ColHOST
Obviously, we know she's Tommy's babysitter, and she's, she's agreed to watch him over, uh, Halloween night.
ColHOST
And Tommy does his classic barrage of questions, uh, asking about the boogeyman and the Mexican wolf man and all these silly little things, doing her head in.
18 MINS LATER
ColHOST
Even the kid actors in the first half, everyone is actually trying.
ColHOST
Even Ronnie, I hate the character and hate his dialogue, but he is acting the shit out of it that makes you fucking hate the guy.
ColHOST
And everybody's bringing it, except maybe Tommy Doyle, bless him.
ColHOST
And on top of all that, there's the Easter eggs, the homages to Carpenter's original peppered throughout.
Matt SalisHOST
The other one, the one we are talking about, his role is a little more obscure.
Matt SalisHOST
He was the young adult Tommy Doyle in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, or as us true Halloweenophobes call it, uh, or ophiles, not phobes.
Matt SalisHOST
[laughs] Us true Halloweeniphiles call it Halloween 6.
Matt SalisHOST
It was the third reboot of the series.
Bobby TrippettGUEST
Right.
Bobby TrippettGUEST
Because this takes place enough time has passed since the original that right little tommy doyle is now a grown man and loomis is no longer around and you don't need to have seen the movies that explain all that to understand that basis for this comic
Matt AndersonHOST
right and act and actually honestly if you had seen like as you and i both did and we talked about it on the show temple trauma where we covered halloween six both versions the theatrical
Bobby TrippettGUEST
folks go oh yeah if you haven't heard it
1 HR 9 MINS LATER
Bobby TrippettGUEST
happened yet.
Matt AndersonHOST
And that Tommy has, is back.
Matt AndersonHOST
Paul Rudd, Tommy Doyle is back.
Matt AndersonHOST
And now he's going to be writing a book on his experience, which, you know, I'm sure will be great based on the Tommy Doyle that we saw on Halloween six.
