i think you're going to start saying that the federal reserve issue is still there or you don't forget about it. oh no, it's a recreation came where we get the rest, the 7 years a year. i've tried to report ah hey folks. next up on dennis miller plus one, a good canadian boy or i b. a. mel. i think he's up in toronto, you know, from the flash and then he did something called code aid, which i enjoyed. it was on his own dime. so you get to make a lot of decisions over there. they did a nice talk little thriller of a show. he's got a new project out and i'm blanking on it, but he has it. and i'll tell you right about it after this are dennis miller plus one

thing. hey folks. welcome to dennis miller plus one. happy to welcome actor robbie amount to the show, robbie, of course best none of the audiences for his work is ronnie on the c w series, the flash. he's also start in the science fiction film code 8. and i think that might have been an in house thing with him and some buddies, and they got to do their own thing over there, as opposed to having suits teleporting in their feet, 5 minutes to kill the creativity. he certainly gives the exec proud on that ravi can be seen next. and the film resident, evil who help come the raccoon city. and imagine the time somebody would told be way back when la, when they're doing forbidden planet or invasion of the body snatchers. eventually. sy fi films would be based on video games. they'd look at to go listen, i'm a futurist, but i remember what the hell that means, but that's where it's at right now. that hits theaters on november 24th. this is

robbie and mel. robbie, how ariba? i'm good, thanks for having me. when you're up in toronto and we're talking a little pocket before we go on, i think you went up and shot this resident, evil thing in sudbury. i think the great george armstrong of leach spain is from there as is alex true, beck tell me about sudbury, brother, and is there anything happen in there or do you get to go home and run lines at night because it's a little little more sedate than usual, i hadn't been the sudbury since i was a kid doing hockey trips up there and it still feels like the best thing to do in sudbury is play on that. well, listen, as i grow older, there's a few things that resonate with me now. i love to go to costco once every 10 days because it works so well. it's well lit. they have that machine, that's m boni clean and the out. the things are priced well. and i also have grown much more fond of coffee as i get older. because it makes sense to me. so i think

in the past like somebody would say, yeah, the best thing, those were not the main is the play hockey. i think that's a great thing to do because the world's gotten mad, and a hockey resonates even more. how far did, how far did you go with that? i know it's an, a canadian kids dna slashed pond experiences, but how far you go with it, robbie, i played right up until i booked my 1st movie. i was, i was a hockey player. the only the only guy played against the made it to the show is wayne simmons, which is pretty cool. i was in l. a. when he was there, i had my wayne simmons jersey. but most of my buddy's kind of fizzled out. it's one of those things i think, you know, if you're going to, if you've got a pathway to make it a gel by like 12 years old in canada. wow. really? so the, the road presents itself even. i just saw wayne play last night. that's so funny. i watch the kings in the and he still looks good. obviously it's pretty rare with the flyers, but he still looks like he's still moving pretty good. what was he?

he must have been a gangly kid bad because he's stretch armstrong now. well, what do you remember away back in the early days? it was fast, it was flashy. he'd like to, you'd like to do the drag. he'd like to drag the parking kind of jump out of the way, which i'll get in trouble these days. but he was really good, he's really fast. he played on a team called the toronto aces. i was on north toronto and i played, i would say probably 5 or 6 years against him. never played on the same team. but i think we had some pretty good battles. we hadn't, we had a couple of years back to back where we eliminated each other out of the playoffs, which is pretty fun. cool. sorry folks. whenever i talk to a car to play it in is a canadian, i got to talk a little park as a, as i said, i'm a big, big hockey fair. you know that hand off from the other thing i love about hockey, is they police their own. i mean, you can go so far with the rat a tat tat thing at the score. and then somebody on your own team is going to grab

me and say, hey, listen, brother way or you know, this is going to celebrate on a certain, you know, of the tom and so we got to ship here. we run it a certain way. don't make me clock un fresh get it together. i always like that fact about hockey. when you get all the, what it is the wild was rather when you, when you left the behind and got into the serial dream like world of show business where people have their head so far up there. sometimes you've got to cut and switch back trails to get through it. what was that hand? what? oh man. i mean i, i literally book my 1st movie the summer before 11th grade. before that, i was just a hockey player who didn't really know what, what i was going to do. i think i never looked at the n h l as a possible career path. but i figured i would kind of play in college, maybe get a degree in like, can you see ology and sports medicine, something like that. that's just kind of what i figured. and then i book this movie

out of the blue because i look like i could be huge and levying carmen electra kid and it was called cheaper by the dozen to shop for 2 months. and i was like, this is, this is not a bad way to make a limit, so i quit hockey, got into some on camera classes and i just kind of looked at it as, i'll give this a shot and see what happens. one of my buddies who i played hockey with was going to university san diego. so i went down south with him kinda hung out his place, lay back and forth. and luckily it's worked out cuz i don't know what i would do now. yeah. you know, i remember i've taken like 2 acting classes and the teacher was sweet and the people were well intentioned, but there was some stuff happening in front of me. i thought, wow, i must be active now because this is a train wreck and i got to, you know, it was the best thing i ever did just because you didn't want to be a pisser with people who are risk and in front of us. what do you think that is like i thought, you know, but i think i'd watch it and think my god,

what that acting classes help you or what, what was your big swing thought that helped you start to get better at active? so i did i, i got into like an on camera class just because i had literally, i had never done anything like it other than this movie. i did commercials when i was a kid that my mom and dad got me into just to like, put some, some money aside for anything from like dental work to canadian dollars to maybe college. and i think last wasn't especially for me. it was just, i just found it to be a little weird. now i learned a lot more onset and just kind of trial by fire. i did a show called life with eric, which was out of toronto. and luckily it was, you know, it was a kids show, so there's not a whole lot of critic sway. and i learned a lot and i had

a lot of fun onset. and then i've been lucky enough to just work with super talented people who have have given me a shot. and given me advice and i've just learned from watching. and i also think that acting has kind of started to steer a little more towards the, you know, even the sy, fi and stuff, i think everything's trying to ground itself a little bit more. i think if you're a little, you know, there's, it's not that there's no place for it, but it's pretty specific if you're going out there and weird. i feel like most things are, are trying to be fairly grounded, even if they're, even if they're, while you watch old movies now and i enjoy and, but it's definitely a switch in your head and i, by old. i mean, i'm playing 60 seventy's on the old ones or just the different planet, but you watch what the craft was then. and you watch the urgency and the striving to make a character. and you think, boy, we live in such a post ironic world now to strive your deemed immediately

a sweat act. you almost have to look in susie and about coming to the, the project. now kids don't want to see you, you know, frenetic and all that. they want to kind of see a smooth into it a little, so i agree, or a little more grounded. tell me about the resident evil. listen for head like me is not a video game guy here, where i see it's called welcome to rec city. what to? it's a video game 1st. yeah. the how it works over new movie and tell me where, what is the longitude latitude on raccoon city? my friend, where is that at? so rakitin city is the fictional city that takes place in this, in this world, based on video game video games. the 1st one resume was from 1996. and it's, you know, some people credit to like zombie making a push back in the pop culture in the ninety's and i grew up playing it. i was 8 when i played the 1st one. like, you know, it's one of my 1st childhood video game memory is just in my basement lights off

and zombie dog jumped through a window and like the game had legitimate jump scares and just scared the crap body . but you know, i, i grew up on the games they, they've made movies in the past with me, the job of which, who was amazing in them. she's a total my buddy, sean roberts played one of the characters in them. i'm a big fan of those movies are movie is much more, you know, kind of based off of the source material of the 1st 2 games they take place the movies take, the movie takes place in the 90s. it's got a little bit of, you know, camping this to her, but at the same time, it's much more of a horror movie than been the 1st. the 1st ones where they were a little bit sy fi action. it's super fun. anybody that grew up playing the games is going to lose their mind. it's. it's like easter reg after easter egg. the sets are built completely after the game, the, the director, you honest roberts, want to cap. com and asked him or ask them for the blueprints to,

to the major step pieces, which is a mansion kind of a haunted house side of things and the police station. and he built them, you know, as much as he could to the game. and then anyone that hasn't played the games, it's a fun. ninety's hor movie was zombies. and really great music. it's so funny that it's come full circle where you go from a kid in the basement in the dark, with a zombie dog coming through a window. scaring to the point now where they're blocking it for 4 hours. and you're everybody's in green screen garb. those lightbulbs attached their head and your 2nd zombie dogs, the worst part of my day right now, you know, dot ga dot and just the guy with the green thing. right? you got the space goes talk show once that i'm supposed to talk to the brack sitting next to me and it's a paint. stir. ok. motion to brock. right now i'm looking at the pain stairs. i get

here's my big curve right here. take the light which rub well and the film is welcome to raccoon city resident, evil, welcome direct and city its hits theaters on november 24th. you're not that you put meal is name to it. by the way, folks, if you're out there, she is a great album. it's like fiona apple. go back and find out, you know, you're going to say what you call it. i don't remember any of that, but she could sing it up, but i do remember is scary effect. and one of those films, robbie, where somebody gets lasered by some like netting or something and they get split up into like a 1000000 little cubes. is that what i remember? you do you actually remember that dead on a 100 percent? they go yeah, faces fall, limbs, everything. just little cute. that's a great moment. i don't service. i listen, i was an adult mostly like the very few gone horribly. so if there's

any of the effects like today, jeez, if they want to make you feel it's real, they can do it and i'm sure they're doing it in resident evil. welcome to rec and city. all right, enjoy our time with robbie. amount will come back chat a little more about what else has happened in his life. i want to talk to him about that project. he did coded, i think that was just some friends and i must have been liberal earliest acquaintances because there's a lot of guys and get your way when you're trying to realize vision. the sounds like this one might have been in house, talked rob m l right up to this dennis miller plus one ah there is no shortage of growing tensions in eastern europe. there is a growing e u. barrow stand off over illegal migration. there are western reports, russia is amassing troops within its own borders. and of course,

there is the self inflicted crisis of european energy supplies. it is no coincidence. some we're calling this hybrid war, but who's hybrid war? against whom all technologist fits perfectly well into the future. but we can't change our way of thinking in a way that we can visualize how we will flint and how we will feel and how our needs will be in 50 years. so our own doing our own technological devonne, things always further on than our ability to feed a folks walk back to dennis miller plus one. join in enjoying our time with

throbbing mouth left her right winger di what were you sent her men were worry aerobic way back when i kind of anywhere up up on forward i would switch to left wing for a one time or a shoot right arm. but i spend most of my time right wing and center. well the, the brief saw it the left wing reminds us that the great mike bossy out there. finance. hang in there, mikey, a true, amazing player. and i were grubby, can be seen in the film resident, evil. welcome direct human city. it's the latest permutation of those films that you remember meal and, and like i said, i beckons de la to send her a check because she got that part in undergrad because i think really cut the you know, she cut the way through for women super heroes because she was absolutely great in that film as kicker, tell me about up. i worked with greg daniels is f that l for a few years. he's a brilliant cad,

him and conan were always off in the corner and you'd look over and say, who's the red and the quiet kid. but then he started talking and he was a freak and genius and a good guy to boot and he's got this thing called upload. tell me about it man, i'm so lucky. i met with greg. he actually came up with the idea when he was writing us and now so he's been sitting on it for a long time. he said he tried to turn it into an s. no. it didn't work in tried to make it into short story, didn't work. he wrote into a movie, it didn't work. he finally made a pilot. nobody wanted to touch it because it was so out there. finally amazon went for it and he's just like you said, he's brilliant. you so funny. you know, for someone who is so wildly successful, there's no ego, he's like, he's super collaborative and i get to, you know, i get to go to work and say the words that he gives me every day, which is, which is a total honor. he's, he's a black, the shows really fun, takes place in

a world where if you know you're going to die, you can upload your consciousness to a digital after life and the run by these big corporations. it's great it's, it's unbelievable he's, he's predicted we shot the pilot and then a year later, it took a year because there were, they didn't know what they were doing with the show. we shot the 1st season and by the time it came out like 4 of the things from the show had come through in real life is just or ozzy. i imagine a hatch decide to i don't even know of the phrase uploaded exist back when he had this idea. i mean think about that. i said out when i was with daniels, it must be it must be 35 years ago or something like that is when i crossed the path of he had this idea back then no wonder i can see him pitching that at the wednesday table, read and say and what i've got to thing upload where you upload you and i, i imagine lauren gone with, can you write a wayne's world with it?

so i got a little kermit my throat so where he at in upload right now. you in the middle, the 1st season you done a season, tell me where the they picked it up. it sounds like such a great idea. where's it lay over at amazon? thank you, our 1st season premier kind of at the beginning a cove id which you know only lucky for us. everybody was at home. so the 1st season did really well. we went back and shot the 2nd season in vancouver this past april or february, march and april. that'll premier in it sounds like february on amazon prime. and then hopefully we get to do a 3rd season. i know they're super excited about it. i just watched, they sent me 7, all 7 episodes, my wife and i rip through them and mean i just, i love watching. i'm, i hate watching myself, but i love watching the rest of the cast. they all cracked me up. grades, son owen writes on the show, he wrote the finale,

he started right on the show and he was 18 brilliant. it's awesome. i love all the people involved in, and i'm super proud of the show. you know what really people always think that's precious. what people say. i don't like to watch myself. i know that. listen, i sometimes think one model say i eat anything. i think it might be. but i'm telling you, i've only been around fly movies and my kid says, hey, tales from the crypt movies on. and i watch myself trying to be smooth. so i, i go, i go, i listen. i don't even have problems with a movie. it's ok for what it is, but i can't just be trying to be smooth. that movie. is that the part to bother you when you're trying to act in for turbo or smooth? you know, for me it's for it's, it's marginally better than hearing my own voice on rate like played back on audio that's. that's as close as it gets. but it's a watch at once and i'll try and learn as much as possible. ok. i didn't buy that,

that didn't work. that was okay. and then i don't want to see it again. yeah. talking to robbie l resident, evil welcome direct can city is out in the last my card, but it's theaters on november. 24th. i guess the big fittingly or big quick rise to stay mr. is this flash. and i remember when i was a kid, i go so far back with flash was j. garrick, running around and a super bowl with wings on a turned upside down on is that it goes over very, i think this is very gordon, but tell me very, very alan site was very good, but the tell me about your worry. getting the flash man was already shocked when you pull the sword from the stone or did you know you had a show me about it. so i finish the show called the tomorrow people which was on c w. ready and greg blanche who produced that show was making the flash. and he found me, he was like, i got,

$3000000.00 on indigo. so my cousin, myself and jeff sung, we made the feature film version out of toronto. we used money from telephone, which is like the canadian government grant for films, the indigo money and tax credits. and we made this $7000000.00 movie and then we took it to netflix and we said, look, we think that this is the right place for it to be. and they were kind of lukewarm about it. and then they went for it and we were the number one movie on netflix in the us and a bunch of territories all around the world. and you know, granted now netflix came in and a big way they have fully financed the sequel were in production where week for filming. it is a netflix original. it is bigger. it is. ready stronger it is. it's really awesome. i'm super proud of it. it, it was just one of those things where we kept bedding on ourselves and pushed the

chips in and got lucky and it kept working out for us from what you just delineated . there was a trip tick for modern filmmaking. folks it used to be by louis b. mayer would sit in the office and give you a thumbs up or thumbs down. it was either made or not made. and now our friend robbie just laid it out that you can do that commercial. they show where kids are on cameras, doing films that can happen. you get 70 out of your own pocket and you put it out there. you get a bite, you get another carrier jump from a big franchise. you get some people who believe in and on the internet, they kick in some seed money. all of a sudden you get some matching funds from the canadian government. you get a little tax break and all of a sudden you got $7000000.00, right. when you started i, you might have thought it was gone from 70 to 700, but to go to 77000000. you got producer chops. it was, you know,

it was one of those things where we, i don't know if we could do it again. we kind of hit lightning in a bottle with the algorithms on facebook and instagram and twitter before they changed. you could reach so many more people. we the short film was really special . you know, if, if the short film wasn't a good product, there's nowhere, no way we could have done it. and i don't know, it was just one of the things right place right. time. and a lot of people who are really, really talented, believing in us and taking a shot on time. sounds like a blast. i'm starting a crowd funding side by the way, for all the trolls out there who don't like me. i will tell you what i'm going to make in the next calendar year, and if you guys get together and make it $1.00 more than that amount, never talk in public again. how's that? why do crowdfunding really good? yeah, you're all right robin. good to david kid. draw to look beautiful out there in the background. looks like the hound of the baskervilles today. i don't know if that's

city is wanted to forget about the people who are buried there. it's wanted to forget about the fact that there is a potter's field that there was a place where difficult stories are hidden. the fact that we're using inmates to maintain this active burial site, where 1000000 souls are buried. where so much of new york city history is buried is documents of the inequality that exist in the city. for centuries. join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, small business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh, well, we've made our pilgrimage to vick claim, holy land el salvador. we're in l. dante,
