hey folks you know him from the hunger games where he played peeta mellark sorry i had to reference my hunger games glossary not quite what it should be but josh hutcherson has a new project now it's called future man it's streaming on hulu he's producing it along with the seth rogen funny hip law he will tell us about it right after this on dennis miller last month. and hey folks welcome to dennis miller plus one where guest is josh assert such as

sinise a producer and he also known as an actor i peeta mellark the character new usually successful hunger games franchise and he also starred in film bridge to terabithia and journey to the center of the earth i am sitting in my studio right now and across the way i have a 5 foot by 7 foot lobby poster for journey to the center of the earth which was my favorite film with irish john josses current project is future man it's available to stream now on hulu thanks for joining us josh how you doing or you know mom i'm . doing as well as i could be i think given everything. it's going to be talking with another if you mean that i have yet to meet so it's exciting to. don nice to talk to you although we have an interesting thing in our past when i 1st moved to l.a. i lived in a place on byron boulevard called the oakwood apartments and just only he lived

there too so we are along the same place i feel after we go way back brother. yeah i completely i did i did i did i think 6 or 7 years there of my young life when i was trying to become an actor and you know it's it's a special police lovely it has its demons as well but we both are here we are. now i look at the doug cliggott before we start talking shop even the dodgers were staged this year they are limited they're pissed off that they got cheated the last couple of wearables. their pump was primed this is hurt. it's i mean sports in general right now are just it's such a weird time i grew up in kentucky actually and so like i'm primarily a cincinnati reds fan which as you can imagine if you follow baseball it's not very fun to be but i am proud to be a fan of that and since i moved here you know i've been following the dodgers and.

we had a chance to do something interesting and now so it's all messed up they tell me about future matt available to stream now on hulu i read about the project that for our viewers tell me that i find that interesting. it's a it's a crazy show you know i have it's my 1st time doing television it's my 1st time doing comedy so it sounds like it's probably going to be a disaster but you know it worked out just all right it was you know it's a show that was produced by seth rogen and evan goldberg they're the original you know people that came on board to make this project it's a crazy action time travel comedy that has the markings of a very crude seth rogen sort of world but for me was it really fun just to step into something that strange and different and we had 3 seasons as our final season just finished and just came out and i know we're we're happy to finish it but it

was it was a great it was a great it's a fun show i highly recommend anybody who wants to just watch something absolutely ridiculous it makes almost no sense and you want to laugh that is the entertainment that we are providing at this moment. rogan is currently smoking so much dope there rust a fiery and saying brother you gotta hold back you just gotta hold back that. i'm not reading autumn i saw an interview with. is that i'm smoking i'm a godly. use of marijuana which made me laugh when you're in the room and that's how is easy intimidating i find him to be a pretty you know he's got the stoner thing have at him but he's you know he's smart like a charming and she's smart and where they know there's a play there but he's also pretty astute pretty hilarious what's what your interaction with rogen it's been it's been great i mean i think that he is has such a unique mind you know and i think the way that he views comedy is is very in my

mind very special and singular i think that he has a very astute radar and you know he very much can be on set and watching what's happening and is very aware of like when something's working and when it's not and you know we're committed as an actor is very different than working with him as a producer as a writer as an actor he's like you know just having fun and living in the moment and you know creating this crazy improv stuff that he lives in and as a producer writer he's very much he is a businessman he's focused he's driven and i've absolutely loved working with him i would love to continue that and see where it goes for sure. or what is better on the set to have than somebody who gets it because let's face facts a sweet spot the 1st song for comedy for any that drama even this there's a point right out here and when you get up to it there's

a great surface tension that feels very alive very kinetic very real and one step over it it flattens like assume flame and if yells for her meals weird it feels so getting manufacture so good you got for you have to have him on the set you know it's great i mean like it again i had my 1st time stepping out of his world of comedy in this world of t.v. and and to put that trust into someone knowing that it was said program knew i always loved his work and everything i think that you know he showed up and really that we took it to that had me took it to that point every time and yes man crossed it and we did what we do to take but genuinely have always playing right on that line of what worked what didn't. we're talking to josh hutcherson and the project we're talking about is the future of earth not the future meant future meant for it's available to stream now on hulu you say haven't done comedy but i see in your

curriculum detail here we share something else you post i have not hosted saturday night live but it was a lot of for 6 years you hosted it how did it come off i can't even describe the level of nerves that i felt doing yes you know it was like i mean for me too and i don't have any theatre background i've never done live performance of anything in my entire life so to come on my 1st time doing anything was on s n l it was absolutely insane it was absolute so incredible to see the whole process hoshi all these creative minds that work there is offered like all day every day to make this show what it is to just see all the inner workings was incredible and for me i think that that like really triggered something in me that didn't make me more interested in doing comedy and being in that world because it flexes this muscle as like a performer that nothing else can touch having to be on your toes i mean to be witty being so present in the moment and receiving but then also being aware and then

transmitting it it's really challenging but i loved it also it was one of the most nerve wracking experiences of my entire life as you know but yeah it was it was amazing it's like tom sizemore and he looks at the narrow and he says you know the action is the juice there's no juice like s n l when you hit the ball there remember hanks is a young guy the 1st time hanks hosted it he wasn't hanks yet you know he's on his way to hags and i'm talking to you after at the cafe luxembourg and he said that never felt schuster had it really when you're killin it. it's better and it's really special and too like for me you know being an actor i'm just like memorizing lines and like preparing when you're doing yes no there is no like you kind of prepare but no i do not memorize anything because they're going to rewrite it between your live rehearsal and then when it goes live so you have to read the cue cards and i was like that's such a new thing it's it really was a special rush that i've never felt before and honestly haven't felt since it was

it was it was incredible yeah there are certain guys with the cue cards who are genius you know they say brando towards the end of his career was put 3 by 5 cards on the guy's head who he was a in the scene with so yes there were certain guys and there they were studied but phil hartman who was always a genius he could just flash on that peripherally pick up the cue and then extemporaneous as i used to sit there watch him and think well there is a control tower level chip yes he could keep it off of and you know 'd all at the same side how is the meeting actually dress or how do you i'm sorry folks i have to ask because i'm always intrigued by s n l and young people hose that was how to dress girl how was the meeting between dress and air. i mostly it was great it was they were kind of up in the air about what sketches they want to cut and what they want to keep then and you know but it was it was very positive the dress really worked and you know i had

a great cast around here that obviously did you know 99 percent of the work and i just had to just take the ball across the finish line kind of but you know it was. it was great it was it was really great and i look back on the experience often and it's like one of the most memorable gold things i can look back on and my career that really meant something to me i think. well it's a big cultural icon and good for you because i'm telling you they don't i've been in that room where the kid's not there and they're talking about that they think they're a player or not it's pretty it's pretty brutal so when they welcome you into that world they've got some tipple on you that you're at least going to roll with it and have fun and you're you know enough to take it in the because they can't have anybody there there are some people who would just you know front of america but again that i'm excited for. we're talking to josh hutcherson and the

project now is future man but evidently i'm sorry brother i'm a 66 year old man i'm not as hip to the hunger games franchise as i should be ordered so i'm not on this role as pete on the l.r. in the usually successful hunger games franchise and once again josh hutcherson right after the break on dennis miller plus one. join me everything on the alec some i'm sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. guys are playing the survival guide stacey just like all the stars simply out of all the services. easy to get him. back to. hollywood no good is a repatriation scheme to get the rest to 7 years. phyllis every organizer for.

as we have said from the very beginning russia gate is a hoax and a fraud there is now ample evidence to prove this and what explains trans flip flop on the iran nuclear deal.

fake folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one which i'm going to justin he's got a new project deputes bailable stream now on hulu and by the way that's a sentence at the beginning of my career i would have never even sent none of that existed it just amazes me down to me platforms they are that i can say it's available to stream on hulu and i even kind of know what's going on since the score and to you know streaming my the project is future man but probably best known for his work as peeta mellark in the usually successful hunger games franchise before we get to that film i have to say brother as i see your as i see your. curriculum vi take care you know robin was one of my friends and i loved him dearly and i see you were at work as robin and not film called r.v. how old were you at that time. i was 12 i was 12 years old. god romanism he was just such a unique soul man like it was he was such a

a special human you know like those people who come along very rarely i think into this world and he was someone that just was so loving and such a heart and such a talent and such a model and the way that his mind worked was just you know for me it's something that i always look back on as an absolute special pleasure gifted movie that i got to answer to work with and. you know he's a legend and he lived up to that number sense. yes the thing that beautiful thing about robin was i can guarantee you there was a part of him that met you as the hippest cat there on another part and met you as he was just still 12 you might have been actual 12 foot robin hood and yes we side bad i used to always think this is a kid who played alone with cigarette ends in the attic because he tapped into that solo 'd beautiful elf and like happiness like that he was he was

a peace or beautiful guy. yeah. magical best way to put it now tell me about how hard is it to get into this hunger games thing at the beginning that i had i assume these films have made billions worldwide maybe i'm wrong there but i think it's certainly north of what maybe north of $2000000000.00 it's become a huge cultural event and when asked about what that's like to handle it 1st off on the front end of it how do you get it how hard they make it to get it. it was pretty hard i mean you know i was at that point i was thinking 18 why did that 1st set of auditions and you know it was it was like we had multiple screen tests you know i signed a contract for 4 films before i did the final audition you know it's a machine it's a machine a lot of waste but you know for me to find something that i believe is very

a beautiful story very interesting and has something to say about society and people believe in enough to spend a lot of money on making it is something that's cool to be a part of in this industry you see a lot of things that you know hundreds of millions of dollars pumped into that are really saying a whole lot and it's cool it's fun it's entertainment but to be a part of something that meant something in a way i think was was really special for me. let's talk about miss lawrence as i find her well she seems like a cool kid i'm sorry i was a kid like i'm yoda here but you know i am not you know i do from a different generation but when i watch her i always saying well she seems to be such a natural funny young spirit and then she will in the serious films i've seen are unsocial lock into something i go well how did she get that wise about what it's like to be a human in dilemma tell me it would tell me about your interaction with or do you

stay in touch via digger your friends tell me yeah i mean i jen jen's amazing she's also a fellow kentucky and we're both from kentucky you know i went 1st minute and. she was just a unique special human being like you know someone that really. now had something more to give she had a depth of understanding i don't know where the hell it came from or why she had it but she always had it. and working with her was an absolute delight she was someone that was always have a good time was always having fun with the crew always you know was in this together it was never like on the start of each is was a great person you know and that's who she is as a person as an artist she always finds a way to tap into such raw human emotion then you know we live in a time that there's a lot of manufactured you know productions money fashion actors and social media and all these things and i think that she was really from that in

a way that she wasn't a new fashion and felt very raw and genuine and working with her that indeed it through her process limited through just being on set with her yeah i think she seems like an american authentic and i would say kentucky play some part in this i grew up not that far from there up the the river a little in pittsburgh from cincinnati and i remember pittsburgh was a place that would not let you get. too full of yourself you are completely i mean i think that being from a place where becoming an actor and living that kind of dream is not really a reality. if you have that dream and that becomes a reality you sort of get brought back to that mentality in a way it's always a piece of you you know there's always something of you that's rooted in these places that you're from in your experiences and your family and friends from that

from that part of the country. i think absolutely i think i think a huge part of who all we are is is where we're from and how we grew up and what we know from from those places. but i think it's an interesting steaks and sort of between the midwest and the south so kind of lives in this in between place that's very interesting i'm so proud of being from kentucky and so much who i am has come from there and and i mean you know i think that the people of kentucky have you know a fortitude a strength that i've always you know connected to i think jen jen as well melissa has been saying 100 games but now the word best to be someone to go see the next one somebody told me that there might be a but be a pretty cool coming up my brother tell me about this because that the drumbeat as exciting the masses out here. apparently i didn't interview about a week ago and someone asked me a question about a print book and i had literally no idea so that shows you about where i am not on

the spectrum of knowing what the hell is going on. i'm sure if you call it a group maybe that's the case and so you know i think it's a world that can be explored much deeper and i am excited to read the books i don't i haven't got big contact in any way to be a part of it if they did i would most likely say yes but you know was was was you it is going to excite we're talking to josh hutcherson and the new show that you can stream on hulu is called future man right now we're going back through some of his greatest says obviously the big one is to kill a mocking jay no sorry i've got my films confused. well look. what one i see journey to the center of the earth i have to tell you josh when i was a kid that was my favorite movie like a set of look at it here i guess you day obviously you did the upgrade with the

brand and i thought it was a nice effort for you know how some things lodged in your hard drive from your youth and that's always the chill favor but i don't know digital as part of your research did you ever go back and watch my eras journey to the center of the earth or now you know i didn't i read the book. and you know that was about it who's the who's that was 13 at the time you know it just happened and him down on his nose will lose another 2 stuck in a 1000 probably give it a tumble aren't you stuck in you like you know you might give it give it a bounce one thing about being in something as big as you're in here with these hunger games josh says it's funny when your kid and you're starting out maybe your kid in oakwood or something you're always dreaming about pole in the walk a ticket you know somewhere down the road and then you're in one that becomes so huge that it's kind of it must be unsettling to some degree i'm not saying you run

from the fame it's part of it but also in that what what what's the transitional period like a little a little shaky a little nerve racking. yeah i mean absolutely i think you know when i started acting when i was 9. now i'm from kentucky and so i the idea of a famous person and what that meant wasn't even part of my headspace you know i when i found out that movie's for a job that you could do you could be an actor or director or whatever i was like i want to do that and my family had no idea how to do and i got a call i personally i was 9 years old found a phone book and called an agency in cincinnati ohio and that's how i started. and all of a sudden be in a position of the hunger games which is you know such a level of notoriety an attention that i never anticipated it's overwhelming you know it's not at all what i set out to i want to be an actor i want to make movies

and i never thought about that that would be you know part of what comes with it and you know it's crazy like the idea of anonymity is hard to really fathom of what it's like to lose it until it's gone you know it's i one of those things that you take for granted and you can't explain to somebody what it's like you know as i was like you know a 1920 year old kid going into a restaurant and. looked at me and knew me and i didn't have any shield between me you know it's a very weird kind of thing to grapple with and at the time for me it was difficult and you know i was reclusive i didn't go anywhere and i hid and i didn't want that but in the years of the passengers i've grown to appreciate it on a much grander scale and recognize the luck that i have had to be in such a project even with a science officer was there as with everything to be a part of that and to allow myself to have the opportunity to continue past that

it's you know it's subject it's such a gift and really lucky but it wasn't without its hard moments for sure. now processing unit 1st is weird and i never was and obviously anything like that under games but i was i was sent out for a while and i remember thinking i would i would walk in new york and somebody was a dentist and i'd sell that's so cool and i'd like it and then there was another part of my head that would be a shame that i liked it that much you know and i think you know who are you to get uppity about something like that and then the other person would say well just enjoy it it's kind of fun and i spent the 1st 2 years of being famous kind in those weird dialogue in my head that i benchley when dumped on a shrink and figured it out but it is weird 1st to go from nobody knows me to kind well that's that's a little if you would yes that's for sure you know you feel very exposed i mean look it's like you know the last thing in the world that any wants to hear about is

some famous known person complaining about them when so hard but but but the reality is there are amazing things that come with this job and you know the writing from incredible things that you can only dream of the things that you don't true love and upcoming as well and those are things that take you by surprise that you were not offer care for and did not expect. but you know all you can do is take both of them in stride and not lose yourself down to either find something that i've recognized the last couple years of how i kind of want to handle all that. look at the look at the hot shot of growed up and be unwise i know you were home schooled by your mom you shoot a great dame your mom so tell me about your mom did she put some of this wisdom and humility into it. i mean you know. evidently yes i mean and there's no way of denying that my my parents are incredible and they you know they they always told

me be grounded and they were always very real and their biggest will in life was treat others the way you want to be treated and that's kind of how i tried to always live my life but i think to just something about growing up on film sets and i've just been very lucky to be around great people you know from robin to robert zemeckis to tom hanks i these people that i've been so fortunate to work with have showed me the way of what to be like be graceful be grateful respectful and always be learning and that's something that i've tried to live my life by as much as possible. or brother your karma seems beautiful you seem like a good kid to me you've got a nice purity about should i go down the photos are of the see the dodgers swat the ball locks and i hope we get this thing behind us and somewhere along the way or a dodger dog lying together managed like to know shaken your hands ever coming back but it's been nice to meet you my friend and i appreciate your time but. then yeah

. there you go how much josh hutcherson and the new show it you can stream it on hulu is called future met then he's working with a pretty little production credit to work it was set broken so give it a tumble sons like an eclectic project thank you josh this is dennis miller plus anyone going much. that's a crime to china and. the saudis are trying to disrupt the american shell industry oh my god i magine that they're trying to disrupt the american shell industry.

shows seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any new world that is yet to shape out these days to come to add to it and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in their country's military decision lotos sheltered lives every thing came to a complete. the day that i was raped be instructive if you told a shot of what they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in the gram my own arm and he raped me with his birthing curia if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half

a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing thing to have happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished them the offender i had an almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even going to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our violent male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. hello

and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lawwell as we have said from the very beginning russia gate is a hoax and a fraud there is now evidence to prove this and what explains trump's flip flop on the iran nuclear deal.
