6:30 pm
ok. critically acclaimed author and he's released a young adult novel series the hatless and that's a good well the saying that the latest one wrote in boyle in to the strange place i love that title will be available later this year please welcome top a lot of tamayo and as good as your body things are really good things are really really good only get some 1st dollar point site night at the museum my friend placed as eddie murphy so so greatly put it on arsenault please don't tell me you had net points or monkey it's going to be this not have to do that robots well i not only not only do we we did it was a nice it was a great little world there's a funny story about that funny story about. resilience and you know about this and just like you know if you're in comedy and writing so the reason we got to write one of museum
6:31 pm
a movie that you know changed my entire life in that we got to read the 2nd one of the course you get fired for the 3rd one it happens you're going to they're going to fire you for the 3rd one but we had written a movie for 20th century fox i'm sure you remember it called taxi with queen latifa not to mention our crown of course we got to know about well. if you wanted to make sure the jimmy didn't get to be in movies for a little while thank me because i wrote taxi. so i don't want. that you can actually we all thought it was going to be a big hit it was a remake of this like lucas on movie queen latifa jimmy fallon a catamaran in a car antics is open again it's like a crime caper in new york city and the movie was testing so well you know you've been in like a focus group of a movie where they tested. so folks what it dial up i'm aware of the process but no i haven't been but it tested well out all people are going crazy because we're
6:32 pm
doing the wave they couldn't get enough of this picture so then the movie came out and it basically was like one of a flop one of the worst flops ever in fact tax it was so bad in roger roger ebert made a book of his the worst film reviews of the of the films that he hated the most in his entire life and it's called your movie sucks and it's only like 12 or 14 movie reviews but taxi a movie that i wrote is in roger ebert's worst reviews ever in his career it was like this was one of the worst and a funny story my dad gave me that book for christmas roger ebert's your movie sucks i actually had a review of a movie i wrote in it that's what it's like growing up as an irish kid. in a well as a taxi all i remember i remember thinking jimmy's a charmer and i don't remember a thing and that the queen would take it was like a sarah not clean latina bit just sounds like
6:33 pm
a sexier grace jones villain or something from the hill so yeah so we thought and then that of course a turns out roger ebert said it sucked and then a fox because they had signed us to write taxi 2 is that hey guess what you don't have the right to actually do it but they said can you take this children's book and i did museum can you turn that into something. and we said oh yeah now that we got there you want to know the way i look at it is like roger ebert i know he stood astride a let's say a very shallow canal in my book criticism that any time you go from critic and go to critics can go watch what they watch when you start crowd book ciro your movie socks. i can't imagine how easy that is to live mad i don't want roger ebert i thought a lot of the film he's going to be going to like that it is it is pretty easy although i mean here's the bummer you read sometimes you read criticism there's 2
6:34 pm
kinds of criticism you know there's a criticism that you read there like that's just unfound they don't get me but the scare your criticisms of your criticism really. make some good points. you make a good points there that's a criticism that's tough to get out from under yeah. well just remember roger ebert wrote beyond the valley of the dogs and if you've ever gone to a drive in in great in high school and watched that it is an absolute train wreck when he had this is that you forward and the right to review where you're sitting there row in your room being a crank jeric but rather you let it go i think probably write an ad in the film his was a big hey guess what roger i guess he's gone now here your film sucked there you go i will. i will say now that we were ended up we wrote a screenwriting book my writing partner and i also called writing movies for aunt and profit with fun crosstown is not something we're writing moves for granted but
6:35 pm
we said we did a lot of it was so mean i think we took it on the book we said. roger ebert wrote one movie. that was so bad that he spent the rest of his career trying to talk the rest of us out of writing movies somehow like that's how bad the valley of the. hell you listen on when you're 40 when you 1st get out to hollywood tommy muska read sid fields book because when i was young i got out into what they all i wanted that i remember thinking do i want to be a comedian don't want to act i want to write i read said fill the screenplay which was like. the strunk and white. of film i think those are. robert mckee story there is save the cat and then there's obviously that one and so when you wrote a screenwriting book. say the cat everybody loves save the cattle and that's what yeah that's the big one that everybody always looks out and so we're right in screenwriting book and this tells you a lot about the world we had written and by the down the road or screenwriting book
6:36 pm
we'd written about 10 or 12 movies that got made and were in movie theaters like we're not talking esoteric theory so we did a chapter in our book and we we added up all of the movies that have been written by the guys who wrote all the screenwriting books and the answer was one. like robert richie who wrote the big one story he has a shared credit on a t.v. movie called barbie and the dream castle rihanna got that's his half of it. and we're like well you know if you had if you've never made a building you don't get to write a book about architecture ever you know like if you like it only because you're built if you made up of a building to fell down you're not like a good you're just a bit of who doesn't know anything who's trying to tell other people so anyway my favorite thing about that is we've always been like we always rag on robert mckee in our book we rag on him we're always goofing on him goofing off goofing on him
6:37 pm
we're like gave is screenwriting so easy when you do it you know that kind of stuff and then. and i'm sure you've had this at somebody that definitely he poked and prodded in public and then they say we're hosting the final draft awards you like and you're going to and then at this point to show you're going to get a lifetime achievement award robert mckee. and i'm like. no no no we've been ragging on this guy publicly we have a whole chapter in a book called robert mckee can suck it that's what the chapter is actually you can call and i was like he's going to kill us we're going to meet on he's going to bite us on the nose he's going to know all about us is going to read it was a cop wrestled to the ground as he seems like kind of bad. so we end up of course and we're backstage we take pictures of us kissing his award. and then we meet him while i'm sure that and he's a nice guy and what it was
6:38 pm
a nice kind of the action i love him he's a delight and i probably should have taken some of his classes because he seems you just seem great. yeah the thing about the show biz in tommy is i always feel if you're taken shots at somebodies eat those they're that the way they are as a man all that stuff i couldn't face myself but showbusiness is such a narrow marsa cystic weird you step up to the plate nobody forces unit at gunpoint world but occasionally you're going to take a shot it's going to be a bit nasty and yeah i've met richard grieco once i did a joke about him on s n l i went that way the next day yes check it out oh hell are asking who wants to make is the nexus guy i looked at i say. i'm in the business of making flying and sorry brother i'm an idiot and he said dang ase we're going to do so anyway it's just it's it's showbiz brother we're talking to tommy line he's new
6:39 pm
deep in the hope this guy's written acted in so many parts and wrote night at the museum as he said the sequel and even one more night it's museum 3 gets whacked or gets whacked off that he had to kill shot on the 1st to trust me he's got a. novel series the latest one is called the road in boyle into the strange place which is a fab title that's why post those pubs tell me about this matter i this is such ever look pretty field if you can establish a beachhead is this the 1st one or what is it is or is it the 3rd one so it's been . you know one of the things i was just drawn to you know it's like if you're not going to break your heart of history rather than to be cured so i don't want to write a book you know. nothing ever came to me when i was in ireland my grandparents were marlon i was there we go thermo. was in a castle and somebody should we would have real should lead looks like. and you
6:40 pm
know those little sometimes you think of them as like little walking stick like lucky charms guy has but this is surely was when the irish couldn't carry metal weapons they got really good at fighting with sticks and i was like that's a really weird world and then i i ended up sort of come up with this idea about a kid who gets recruited for the special unit care to note and to notice like irish it's and it's in yeats and while talks about it's the irish world at the very folk of leprechauns her columns changelings and things like that sort of i wrote the end of writing as a series of books and i did the classic thing which is i'd read the whole 1st book was awesome nailed it went into the publisher they're like this is incredible we love it can't you ideas for us a whole series of these i said yes i do absolutely i know where this is going i could write these forever and then i wrote the 1st one and i never had another idea ever again i was totally just full of crap. but subsequently several years now i've
6:41 pm
finished the 2nd one finally came out which i think is better than 1st one and i just finished comes out november the 3rd one you know and it's weird it was you get better at anything but the 3rd book i think finally had to let me ask is you know strange place like the future state is it sort of like a like on the back of thing for kids is that some of their real world or i didn't quite make it what you're talking about checkpoints and all that what is a i guess so journal and it's fun i like what's in store with maps and the books all open with a map of like where the land of where the fairies and leprechaun live and it's actually in exact inverse ireland so it's a scripted place and there's like there's like a leprechaun theater district in one area and then there's the leprechaun where they make shoulder shoes and buckles and stuff and it's like a sort of financial center. so there's a lot and then there's like a sort of a terrifying area where unicorns mate that you can't ever go to because they're so . in this in the book series unicorns are basically. leprechauns greatest enemy
6:42 pm
and you know you learn in the books that the point on a unicorn is mostly to kill leprechaun so. that the other about the books i should point out is it's not a lucky charms view of ireland and. very folk it like leprechauns will steal they steal your stuff especially if you have like a wine cellar they will steal booze very fast they're just terrible little weirdos who steal your stuff so that's why the. rant was it we finally get to in the. in the last big book you know it was like traveling through narnia that's like the morgue or basically through orderings it's like the morgue or it's it's where the land of the fairy folk and the land of the old irish gods basically meet and it created like a crack in reality and so it's sort of this insane it's like a leprechaun world are directed by salvador dali basically. where you have by the
6:43 pm
way i don't like left i would remind you of much harder to be a pickpocket when you're a leper colony because it's like the guy off the mike up all that you got to go. well you got your were good all the rest on a whole lot of disability in the leper continuity from pickpocketing we're talking to. them probably off on the weirdest tributes are the middle of it all and we'll talk a little after he's got a new book out and it's called ronan boyle into the strange place you know we have a hell of a lot of the sheet of it's coming out later this year sounds like a fab christmas yet and he's written so much i want to pick his brain a little about his long track and i love his approach to it works and also how do you get a special thanks on what hot american summer i got to. me last right after the decide that it's you healthier plus for.

6:46 pm
become the most deluded society on politics as a species of endless and needless to say the computer politicians have morphed into celebrity are 2 ruling parties are in reality one party to corporate and those who attempt to puncture this back breathless universe of fake news just signed to push through the cruelty and exploitation of the neo liberal torn up force so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an avalanche of sweet we must.

6:50 pm
a new york post headline title and it will be available later this year and not to me for god's sakes as i research today how do you end up what did you write one joker where young kid who were had a couple rejoinders how do you end up with a special place on white hot american summer oh well that's ok so that is an interesting story so now i know of you remember it ok so i'm part of a comedy group called the state and you might have n.y.u. and our 1st professional job as the state ever. was we were the opening act we were the 2nd undercard for dennis miller live at n.y.u. the big student center n.y.u. it was us and then sarah silverman and then you because we're all sarah knows we're all at n.y.u. center so i came out of his comedy group called the state and out of that group there's a weird amount of people that you would know either by face or by name but all of
6:51 pm
reno 911 came out of the state this should help right all the guys from wet hot american summer rules at stella sol and ken reno so it's like every single person out of that group it was a crazy collective of all insane like alphas who were just nuts like everybody was crazy everybody was too intense and it turns out that's exactly what you need to succeed at these things so so of the state which was just an n.y.u. comic group i mean it spawned it at least i mean the state even variety wet hot american summer all those were not movies were not a one which we've actually been doing since the year 2000 like that's mostly a state piece so we were like basically like oh we're like a collective you know we're like this we were like it we thought we were like an angry punk band in new york in the eighty's and then now we're all these weird old that were the we're literally the establishment but so the facts on what how it is
6:52 pm
probably because we still you know we all drive each other crazy and state and we fight a lot. i think that's one of the materials usually is still good because we're never easy don't each other rush we operate like a push each other yeah you guys are like they have gone point on their grades for piet dot on avenue america's by at the bottom and that's a good used to apply algonquin did you raise the buy it was where did you ever actually degrees it would poor already getting we have love grace apply well we're right orange onions that was just us soup ornish neon starry onion oh and you could feel sorry talk about you could feel that years later you feel great but by amber i could get one now you know what the time when you think about you coming from the state i remember when i was used to work at us and allan friday would roll around and i knew if i didn't do a good newscast saturday 3 weeks in
6:53 pm
a row i'd have a cause try to get whacked it was like spartacus for after school yup you know i get disciplined and when i see how much you right now are and i can assume that you you were able to batten down the hatches starting this covert night back and yet you don't seem to radhika but seizing the sword from the stone are you sit down in a start put words in front of each other right. you know i mean i almost do it i think oh i write i was busier during this lockdown. i don't want to say like persona sometimes of crazy people this has been like a weird gift. as i know that's not has been a lot of terrible things in the economy and it's obscene really you know but for a certain kind of crazy person who likes to write basically like a compulsion who gets put in a padded room and keep writing and actually really productive for it. i wrote a couple of pilots it's all just been really busy that although obviously i'm writing i'm also writing the the dream works animated feature of the road with the
6:54 pm
series which is in the works now so an exciting time now listen i read a quote where you said it's like that i always love that old story folks they got to write films and they say well it's not that hard if you throw a group of c's into or room with 5 privately and they'd eventually got a movie that i was i want to take that a step further and say well how weird would it be if they came out and they have penned carolus in the mess because the chimpanzees and the growers in nature are mortal enemies that what if they had come out and written a scam for the sigourney weaver classic relisten and that's it's a it's a it's a great theory i feel like they're definitely. sorry if you're looking at snake like you to have bill closer always affirm in your head i don't want to sorry that much for a car that's not what it dealt we were not we were never improper people the state we were all very and we all thought we were really serious actors and then when we
6:55 pm
when we started really doing stuff like we would like i mean we were so carefully scripted but if you messed up somebody else's script they would lose their mind it was like we goof around we thought we were like craftspeople of you know. of the sketches we were writing which is still. some of the stupidest stuff in the world to this day it's very stupid stuff we look at really seriously and we were never a great writer like we were you know neil simon nichols and may you read about these people and they they were down to syllable counsel neil did not want you to change a thing and i know marty short eugene are good friends of mine and they said that was the joy of 2nd city to them was he so i didn't want to have proper i wanted to get a perfect and that i wanted the. yeah i was very much the stay was definitely that very much that you know what you know i mean this is why they have to tell you what a great bread with you sometime brother when this book on it lives over and i'll
