Transcript
00:00For sure Macaulay Culkin Home Alone. River Phoenix ran a movie A Night in the Life of
00:11Jimmy Riordan. In Robocop 2 there is a kid about 12 years old that plays a drug kingpin that dies
00:17on a pile of money Scarface style and that performance as well. River Phoenix kind of had
00:22a James Dean thing going. Macaulay Culkin was he doing chaplain-esque stuff perhaps. The drug
00:28kingpin kid was doing Scarface. The thing about it was seeing kids my age even though I didn't
00:33become a child actor I didn't do it till for another 10 years. Seeing someone my age do it
00:37was the real more or less. I guess River Phoenix was older at the time but still. I have to say
00:42now with my kids Home Alone really holds up. It's gorgeous. It's like gorgeously shot. It's very
00:47funny. John Williams scored it so it's like beautiful. I mean yeah that holds up really well
00:53so there's that. I watched Coming to America with one of my kids and that also really holds up. A dog
00:59would make me feel very comfortable. Other than that no just don't make it so cold. That's what
01:04I would say. Everyone and that goes for hotel rooms too. It doesn't have to be 66. The weekends are mostly
01:08driven by the kids so yeah that's you know it's going to be a play day. That's going to be a if you can
01:16link up with kids your kids like as well as parents you like. That's that's um yeah that's a home run.
01:24I think I'd be a producer and just do the same a lot of the same stuff I do but from a chair.
01:28I voice my opinion and not have to dance you know. Music I listened to on the way here. I did listen to
01:33some music. Some of it that really spoke to me on the drive here. Vashti Bunyan is her name and
01:39she's like I think it's 60s. It's pretty eclectic and folky but kind of um mystical almost and um
01:47it's very cool. There'd be restaurants. It's always it's always food. I really wanted blues clues early
01:53on when I first moved to LA. Have you fought for it? I tried real hard yeah yeah yeah. It's like 1999.
01:58I didn't get it but I would have had it. I would have loved it and uh yeah.
