Movie Meltdown - Episode 349
This week we sit down with Mary
Ann herself - Dawn Wells! That's right, we talk
with everyone's favorite castaway as we learn more about not only
her years on the island but also her early days getting into the
business, being a contestant in the Miss America pageant, being
cast in some interesting movie roles along the way as well as her
new book "What Would Mary Ann Do?... a Guide to
Life".
And as we ask ourselves 'why do I
analyze the way I analyze life', we also talk about... Daredevil,
American Horror Story, #Horror, the Professor's tennis shoes,
smooth as broken glass, his swords don't even match, I bought like
43 comic books today, and cornsteak was invented, Ant-Man, the
knockers from Labyrinth, don't even get me started - Clancy Brown,
hey whoa guys... there's something going on, carrying swords
wearing Khakis and white tennis shoes, I like corn, it's just
you're driving a truck or a Studebaker, not just subtle but smooth,
it's a lesson... to the world, were bringing their children with
pet rats on leashes, a pineapple milkshake, I like you just fine...
but you're not getting my Fear Street books, a marketing scheme to
get people to buy a new app, whatever his name is... he's gorgeous,
we do the same thing I just do it better, The Dude as a
Ghostbuster, Winterhawk, he put a little flare on his costume,
starring Lady Gaga with her butt, I was a debater, 77 Sunset Strip,
Errol Flynn, they've got blood running down my face and I'm
supposed to be crawling through the corn fields, The House of
Mystery, Taryn Manning and Balthazar Getty, they had aliens they
had Nazis they had experiments they had demon possession they had
serial killers, I've got an actress who can't carry groceries and
talk at the same time, I wanted to punch everyone in this movie -
in their faces, every ingenue in the world was auditioning, she
reminds me of She-Ra a little bit, they wanted me to run for Miss
Nevada, The Town that Dreaded Sundown, you try to find an agent,
there was never any angst, the essence of the talent and how you
approach the character, Lee Hazlewood, I know a lot of artists are
kind of crazy, Sherwood Schwartz, Mercedes McCambridge, you sort of
learn what the ropes are, not allowed to talk to a man, jumbo-sized
Nikes that were just like Slash's and hoping we don't get escorted
out of the carnival by the time we're done.
"...and Jack Warner called him
the next day and he said, 'I just wanna say, this is the first time
I've ever had an intelligent conversation with an
actress.'"
