00:00Peter Billingsley, our guest. What's up, Peter?
00:02Hey, Gentry. How you doing?
00:03I'm doing fantastic. I heard you say that you spent some time studying the old film,
00:08and I'm curious, was there something that you saw now almost 40 years later that you missed all these years?
00:14Just the tone of the original is so unique in so many ways and so special.
00:19It's a very real family, I think, and that's the one big takeaway I've heard from fans throughout the years,
00:24is that's my family. That's kind of what so many people say to me.
00:27So I think getting that right, it's not the most saccharine family that you've ever seen, right?
00:32It's not the most perfect family. Dad's kind of on edge.
00:35The mom's, you know, kind of right there about to lose it, and the brothers are fighting.
00:39But there's a lot of love at the core of it, and I think that's what's relatable about it.
00:43Not everyone is super polite to each other.
00:46You know, it's like the parents don't talk like they're on their second date.
00:49You know, you get the sense that it's a very real family.
