"Footloose" (1984) vs. "Purple Rain" (1984): Movie to Movie Part 2

<v Speaker 1>Hellover one.
<v Speaker 2>My name is Travis Lastly, and I'm the unofficial president
<v Speaker 2>of the Michigan chapter of the Shirley You Can't Be
<v Speaker 2>Serious Podcast fan Club, And you're listening to the Shirley
<v Speaker 2>you Can't Be Serious Podcast?
<v Speaker 1>All right, everybody, Welcome back to the Surly you Can't
<v Speaker 1>Be Serious Podcast. We are on part two of our
<v Speaker 1>comparison of Footloose and Purple Rain, and we are not
<v Speaker 1>going to waste any time. Let's dan.
<v Speaker 3>This is the sixth episode that we've done so far
<v Speaker 3>on our summer of nineteen eighty four. It's been amazing
<v Speaker 3>to go through and just concentrate on one summer.
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the first time you saw either one
<v Speaker 1>of these movies? Yes, I saw Footloose in the theater.
<v Speaker 3>I saw Footloose in theater, and I think I saw
<v Speaker 3>prop raina on HBO when I when I didn't have
<v Speaker 3>permission to do.
<v Speaker 1>So, right, I can remember vividly seeing I didn't see
<v Speaker 1>all of Purple Rain. But my brother was in high
<v Speaker 1>school at the time, and he goes over to this
<v Speaker 1>friend's house that a bunch of high school kids are
<v Speaker 1>going to watch the VHS copy of this thing, and
<v Speaker 1>her little brother and I are banished to the upstairs
<v Speaker 1>and like you you know, you guys are too young,
<v Speaker 1>you can't watch this, And so of course we go
<v Speaker 1>upstairs for about seven minutes and they're like, let's go
<v Speaker 1>sneak downstairs, and so we sneak downstairs. We crawl in
<v Speaker 1>the dark on our hands and knees under the chair
<v Speaker 1>that everybody's sitting on. You know that somebody's sitting on
<v Speaker 1>there in the movie room. We sneak up, we see
<v Speaker 1>the TV and it is the lake Mini Tanka scene.
<v Speaker 3>Well, for starters, you have to purify yourself in the water.
<v Speaker 1>Is a lake in a time and we get to
<v Speaker 1>see Appollonia's boobies and we're like, our work here is done.
<v Speaker 1>We did not watch the rest of the movie. We're
<v Speaker 1>just like, let's get out of here before we're caught.
<v Speaker 1>We've gotten everything we needed to get for our Redar movie.
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, I'm out of here, okay, Jason.
<v Speaker 1>Before we get started, we have to acknowledge our executive producer.
<v Speaker 1>Today we have a new Patreon subscriber and he is
<v Speaker 1>our executive producer. That is mister Travis Laslie.

<v Speaker 3>Cam, Thanks, buddy, appreciate you. He and I talk regularly.
<v Speaker 3>We go over the episodes and he gives me input. Okay,

<v Speaker 1>probably less than a cup of coffee these days. Thank
<v Speaker 1>You're staying in Canada.
<v Speaker 3>Alright, eh a boozer. Let's talk about production on these movies.
<v Speaker 3>So I mean we will as well jump into the
<v Speaker 3>Lake Minnetaca scene. Okay, Yeah, let's back up just a second. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>So filming started on Purple Rain Halloween of nineteen eighty three. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>the first scene in the movie is actually Prince and
<v Speaker 3>Apollonia riding around on the motorcycle and you have the
<v Speaker 3>fall foliage of Minnesota. Funny part about that it snowed the.
<v Speaker 1>Next day, right right. Hearing Apollonia talk about this in
<v Speaker 1>various parts, the severity of what happened is different, but
<v Speaker 1>basically her jumping in that water two or three times. Afterwards,
<v Speaker 1>like she started to black out and the nurse believed
<v Speaker 1>she was going into hypothermia. And then apparently she was
<v Speaker 1>sick for some time and stayed at Prince's house and
<v Speaker 1>he like made her soup and took care of her
<v Speaker 1>while she got over the cold or flu or whatever
<v Speaker 1>pneumonia probably that she had from jumping in this ice
<v Speaker 1>cold water.
<v Speaker 3>The Lake Mantaka scene, if you don't remember, Prince says
<v Speaker 3>that he won't help her professionally because she couldn't pass
<v Speaker 3>initiation and she's like, what are you talking about. He's like,
<v Speaker 3>you got to purify yourself in the lake, Manataka, So
<v Speaker 3>she strips down and jumps in. Now that was shot
<v Speaker 3>in Minneapolis. Yes, they realized that they needed some close
<v Speaker 3>ups and some dialogue that they then later shot in la.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, not so cold over there, a little bit warmer.
<v Speaker 3>The interesting thing when she stayed at Prince's house, Uh huh,
<v Speaker 3>she says, Yeah, I slept in his bed and he
<v Speaker 3>was a perfect gentleman.
<v Speaker 1>Nothing happened, which Prince, are we tiking? Wow?
<v Speaker 3>Okay, all right. Anyway, so during the production of Purple Rain, Yes,
<v Speaker 3>one of the things Prince did to get everybody ready
<v Speaker 3>for this is he gave everybody had show up and
<v Speaker 3>do dance lessons in acting class and acting classes.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Part of it was to get them better for the movie,
<v Speaker 3>and part of it was to get everybody in shape.
<v Speaker 1>Right.
<v Speaker 3>But there's one person that constantly skipped.
<v Speaker 1>It's who you would expect. Yeah, he was also high
<v Speaker 1>during the filming of this movie.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, mister Morris, mister Morris day at the time.
<v Speaker 1>He's got one of the funniest bits, like he and
<v Speaker 1>Jerome have a lot of funny bits, but they do
<v Speaker 1>this bit that's a very appt and Costello, who's on
<v Speaker 1>first bit's good. I enjoy that bit. They are the
<v Speaker 1>comic relief of this movie. Yeah, they would be a
<v Speaker 1>very heavy movie without their comedy in it. But one
<v Speaker 1>of the important parts of the movie was what are
<v Speaker 1>the songs that we're going to use? Right? Sure, Prince
<v Speaker 1>gives out Magnoli this huge catalog of music and he's like, okay, well,
<v Speaker 1>which of these do you want me to use? He
<v Speaker 1>goes you pick. He's like, oh wow, okay, and so
<v Speaker 1>he's going through to trying to find songs, and then
<v Speaker 1>they have this event that is now famous. Yes, it
<v Speaker 1>is the first time that Wendy Melvoy plays with the Revolution.
<v Speaker 1>She starts the song and there are three songs from
<v Speaker 1>this live performance that end up in the album. But
<v Speaker 1>one of those songs is the song Purple Rain.
<v Speaker 3>That concert happened August third, nineteen eighty three. People don't
<v Speaker 3>realize this. I didn't realize until I started researching this.
<v Speaker 3>The recordings of I Would Die for You, Baby, I'm
<v Speaker 3>a Star and Purple Rain are taken from that concert
<v Speaker 3>in nineteen eighty three. Now they produced them up. They
<v Speaker 3>add some strings and some things, but those are the
<v Speaker 3>live recordings from that concert.
<v Speaker 1>It was the first time they had ever performed Purple
<v Speaker 1>Rain live, and it is the version you hear on
<v Speaker 1>the album. And one one of the people in the
<v Speaker 1>crowd was Albert mcnoly and he comes to Prince afterward
<v Speaker 1>and he says, I think that song Purple Rain is
<v Speaker 1>the key to our movie, and Princess, okay, can we
<v Speaker 1>call the movie Purple Rain? He says, sure, that sounds
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it. Not only is it Wendy's first performance
<v Speaker 1>with the band, but it is the moment that the
<v Speaker 1>name of the movie and of course the name of
<v Speaker 1>the album are inspired. I think that that moment was
<v Speaker 1>they caught lightning in a model as you like to say,
<v Speaker 1>it was magic.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was magic, and it makes for a great
<v Speaker 3>climactic part of the movie.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>So, apart from the lake Manataka scene, to me, the
<v Speaker 3>most moving part of the movie is when Prince gives
<v Speaker 3>homage to his dad and you have the big climax
<v Speaker 3>of the Purple ran dand the movie you actually have
<v Speaker 3>Purple Rain. And then he goes backstage and the crowd
<v Speaker 3>is just chanting and Jill is crying and they bring
<v Speaker 3>him back and he does I would die for you,
<v Speaker 3>and baby, I'm a star.
<v Speaker 1>All right.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So here's the interesting thing about this. Okay, Throughout
<v Speaker 3>the course of Prople Rate, they did such a great
<v Speaker 3>job of pacing. There is not any ten minute span
<v Speaker 3>where there is not at least one song played, except
<v Speaker 3>for one part. There is a gap of ten minutes
<v Speaker 3>and in the middle of that there's a sex scene.
<v Speaker 1>All right, it's the original storyline as Prince had done it.
<v Speaker 1>As I mentioned before, Mom and Dad are already dead
<v Speaker 1>in this murder suicide, and the end of his script
<v Speaker 1>ends with his suicide, like he dies at the end
<v Speaker 1>of his storyline, and so that obviously has changed. I
<v Speaker 1>think largely because of our first time director here, who's like,
<v Speaker 1>this is not the right story. What you have is
<v Speaker 1>a guy who wonders, will I turn out like my dad?
<v Speaker 1>And that's why that unpleasant as the abuse scenes are,
<v Speaker 1>they're critical to the movie because he's realizing that he
<v Speaker 1>is becoming his dad. He is becoming this violent, abusive boyfriend,
<v Speaker 1>right and he doesn't want to. He saves himself from
<v Speaker 1>becoming that, and that unlocks another key, which is the
<v Speaker 1>fact that he's this kind of domineering. Your music doesn't matter,
<v Speaker 1>Wendy and Lisai, Nobody cares about you. I'm the star,
<v Speaker 1>I'm the key. Well, say what you will about Prince
<v Speaker 1>and his abilities. He did a great job acting in
<v Speaker 1>this movie. Yeah, he really really did a great job.
<v Speaker 1>And from what I've read, he would watch himself every
<v Speaker 1>day on the dailies, watch it over and over again,
<v Speaker 1>figure out what his mistakes were. And they said, like
<v Speaker 1>his improvement was obvious from beginning to end on his
<v Speaker 1>acting abilities. But then he's got this moment that he's
<v Speaker 1>got to go crazy and tear this stuff up. And
<v Speaker 1>that's when he comes across his father's music. This is
<v Speaker 1>the part that you're talking about before his dad's were
<v Speaker 1>like that. His dad was like, that's the difference between
<v Speaker 1>you and me, is you got to write your stuff down.
<v Speaker 1>I've got online right here. Well then he finds out, well, no,
<v Speaker 1>his dad has been writing stuff down, and that's he
<v Speaker 1>marries that with this song that Lisa and Wendy have
<v Speaker 1>been working on the whole movie, and that is the
<v Speaker 1>song that we're led to believe his purple ring.
<v Speaker 3>It's a great story arc the building of the song
<v Speaker 3>that the climaxis at the end.
<v Speaker 1>So here's the interesting thing. Yeah, that scene where he's
<v Speaker 1>talking to his dad, and his dad is like, that's
<v Speaker 1>the difference between you and me, and you've got to
<v Speaker 1>write your music down. It's an actual conversation that he
<v Speaker 1>and his dad had. His dad showed up, didn't know
<v Speaker 1>what he was. I mean, he just happened to show
<v Speaker 1>up on the day that they're filming that scene, and
<v Speaker 1>he realizes he's kind of walked into something. So he
<v Speaker 1>hides behind what he thinks is like safe place just
<v Speaker 1>so he can listen, and he hears the scene that
<v Speaker 1>he knows is a conversation that he and his son
<v Speaker 1>have had. And then when the scene is over, Prince
<v Speaker 1>is obviously emotional and he walks around the corner right
<v Speaker 1>into his dad and they have this moment of Wow,
<v Speaker 1>our life just became a scene in a movie. Yeah
<v Speaker 1>for real, that's pretty cool. Yeah, that's really cool.
<v Speaker 3>The interesting thing about his father and the suicide, the
<v Speaker 3>studio wasn't comfortable with a murder suicide, or really even
<v Speaker 3>a suicide. Yeah, and so Albert Magnoally is like, no problem,
<v Speaker 3>he won't die, And I'm like guy. I mean he
<v Speaker 3>stuck a gun to his head and he didn't die.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is that better he missed?
<v Speaker 3>Wow, he's a lousy shot. Harry, You're alive and you're
<v Speaker 3>a terrible shot. Okay, did you know that there is
<v Speaker 3>another sex scene in Purple Rain that has been deleted? Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>it's the Purple Rain sex scene.
<v Speaker 1>Like, you actually got some purple rain. It was not
<v Speaker 1>at the halftime show of the Super Bowl.
<v Speaker 3>Right right. You have the illusion of the rain in
<v Speaker 3>the background and maybe some lights or something that makes
<v Speaker 3>it look purple. But apparently the scene was even more
<v Speaker 3>awkward and they just it just didn't really work. But
<v Speaker 3>you can see it at the beginning of the Windows
<v Speaker 3>Cry video. There's actually a clip from it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Here's the thing I want.
<v Speaker 3>To talk about real quick. Okay, the sex scene between
<v Speaker 3>Prince and Apollonia. Yes, so they shot that scene three
<v Speaker 3>different ways. They shot a TV version, a PG version,
<v Speaker 3>an R version. We get the R version.
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh.
<v Speaker 3>But it's odd. It's just an odd scene.
<v Speaker 1>Well. I even texted you right after that scene. As
<v Speaker 1>I was watching it, I was like, whoa, I do
<v Speaker 1>not remember the V grab that happens in this scene.
<v Speaker 3>The hands wonder for sure. Yeah, but there's no nudity.
<v Speaker 1>Nope, although you can pretty well see through her paintings.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so I've got a couple of little interesting tidbits
<v Speaker 3>on production Purple Range. Okay, So Prince and his good
<v Speaker 3>buddy Morris Day high school friends and bandmates. Yep, according
<v Speaker 3>to one of the guys in the Time, mister Jellybean Johnson,
<v Speaker 3>they got in a fistfight on the set of Purple Range.
<v Speaker 3>Oh so, as you said before, Morris Day had a
<v Speaker 3>substance abuse problem. He would show up late, he would
<v Speaker 3>show up not at all, he would not go to
<v Speaker 3>dance lessons, and just generally be a huge pain in
<v Speaker 3>the butt to everyone. Prince had enough of it one day,
<v Speaker 3>and apparently they got into it pretty good.
<v Speaker 1>Wow. So the scene where the Time is doing Jungle Love,
<v Speaker 1>there's this really memorable part where the guys are dancing
<v Speaker 1>like they're up on the balcony and you've got them
<v Speaker 1>all dancing synchronicity together. Yes. So that dance group was
<v Speaker 1>known as game Boys, and they later like three of
<v Speaker 1>those groups of the group members Tony Moseley, Kirk Johnson,
<v Speaker 1>and Damon Dixon became members of Prince's band, the New
<v Speaker 1>Power Generation. They're also background dancers on Graffiti Bridge.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, not a big, not a big, not so much.
<v Speaker 3>Morris Day says a total of thirteen words to the kid.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you know how many the words the kid says
<v Speaker 3>to Morris Day.
<v Speaker 1>That would be a goose against zero view the one
<v Speaker 1>more thing yep.
<v Speaker 3>During the production, Albert Magnolay comes to Prince and he says, listen,
<v Speaker 3>I've got this music montage and I want a song
<v Speaker 3>that kind of encapsulates all of the drama from the movie,
<v Speaker 3>just kind of carries us through all the emotions that
<v Speaker 3>the kid is going through. Right, you got problems with mom,
<v Speaker 3>you got problems with dad, you got problems with your girlfriend,
<v Speaker 3>you got problems with your band. Can you come up
<v Speaker 3>with something, so Princess like, yeah, I think I can
<v Speaker 3>come up with something. The next day comes back two songs,
<v Speaker 3>one of them when does cry Wow you forgot the bass.
<v Speaker 3>We'll get into that when we go track by track.
<v Speaker 1>So one more thing yep. Just before Prince plays beautiful Ones.
<v Speaker 1>When Morris Day is trying to pick up Appolonia, remember
<v Speaker 1>he leaves the girls and he goes and sits down
<v Speaker 1>at the table that Apollonia is at. Yes, all of
<v Speaker 1>his pickup lines are paraphrase lines from the Times songs.
<v Speaker 1>So Chili saus comes from ice cream, Castle comes from
<v Speaker 1>jungle Love, and the bird What time is it? Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>That's actually yeah the title of their second album.
<v Speaker 3>I heard that Albert Magnoli sat down with Morris Day
<v Speaker 3>and Jerome and said, all right, guys, here's what the
<v Speaker 3>script says. Uh huh, Now, how would you say it right?
<v Speaker 3>And they would say, well, I would say this, you know,
<v Speaker 3>I would say that that line, how's the family? That's
<v Speaker 3>More's Day.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Okay, let's jump back over to Footloose. You know,
<v Speaker 1>we talked about casting already, but let's talk about who
<v Speaker 1>gave the best performance? Right, yeah? Okay. So we've got
<v Speaker 1>a lot of incredible actors. So you think Kevin Bacon good,
<v Speaker 1>but I wouldn't say he's the best. John Lefcott again excellent,
<v Speaker 1>but not the best performance Lori Singer, No, what who
<v Speaker 1>do you have?
<v Speaker 3>Hey?
<v Speaker 1>Listen?
<v Speaker 3>They all did a great job, including Chris Bean, Sarah
<v Speaker 3>Jessica Parker, Dian Weist. They all did a great job.
<v Speaker 3>But the person who gave the greatest performance in Footlers
<v Speaker 3>is the kid who falls asleep in church at the
<v Speaker 3>very beginning. When his dad wakes him up, he looks
<v Speaker 3>like he wishes he were dead.
<v Speaker 1>That was a memorable There's not a better performance. That
<v Speaker 1>was for real, real stuff.
<v Speaker 3>Look, I've been in church a lot of times, and
<v Speaker 3>I guarantee I've look like that a lot of times too.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, so let's let's talk a little bit about
<v Speaker 1>prep work that these guys did for their acting performances. Okay.
<v Speaker 1>So Kevin Bacon was twenty four at the time that
<v Speaker 1>he was going to do this performance, and so he
<v Speaker 1>was like, am I still in touch with what high
<v Speaker 1>schoolers are doing? Right? And so he hit up the
<v Speaker 1>principle of a local high school and said, Hey, I'd
<v Speaker 1>like to come, you know, check out your high school.
<v Speaker 1>And he had this plan that like he was going
<v Speaker 1>to be like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, trying
<v Speaker 1>to strut through the place and be cool and stuff,
<v Speaker 1>and he ended up having an experience that was completely
<v Speaker 1>different than they expected. Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>So he walked in like mister tough guy and realized
<v Speaker 3>pretty quickly this is very uncomfortable. So he lowered his eyes,
<v Speaker 3>lowered his head, tried not to be noticed and felt
<v Speaker 3>very alone, isolated, even scared.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was wearing a tie, like a skinny tie,
<v Speaker 1>and literally got made fun of for the skinny tie,
<v Speaker 1>like the line of the movie, hey nice tie. It
<v Speaker 1>came from that sperience, And so it's really truly interesting
<v Speaker 1>because I think that frames up a much better movie
<v Speaker 1>if you've got a character who's like kind of having
<v Speaker 1>to duck his head and he wants to be cool,
<v Speaker 1>but he's struggling. I mean he's struggling throughout the beginning
<v Speaker 1>of this thing because he's unsure of himself, which would
<v Speaker 1>make sense. I mean, living with your mom to this
<v Speaker 1>new place where nobody knows you, and you're getting hassled.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you think you're cool, but nobody else thinks
<v Speaker 3>you're cool.
<v Speaker 1>Right, You're doing the stuff that was cool where you
<v Speaker 1>were from, but everybody here seems to think that that's
<v Speaker 1>the devil's music. I know, Hey, you know what that
<v Speaker 1>reminds me too.
<v Speaker 3>When they first explained to him that dancing is illegal, Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>he's like jump back, jump back. That was a term
<v Speaker 3>that Kevin Bacon actually brought to the script, right, and
<v Speaker 3>they thought, all right, that's cool enough to leave in.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, okay, So it's interesting because John Lithcow kind
<v Speaker 1>of did the same thing on his own, so he
<v Speaker 1>wasn't raised in like a Christian household, It wasn't a
<v Speaker 1>part of his upbringing, so he won to know what
<v Speaker 1>it was like. And so he called a local minister
<v Speaker 1>there in the town that they were filming at and
<v Speaker 1>posed as someone who was having spiritual difficulties and you know,
<v Speaker 1>I've got questions, can you help me out? And the
<v Speaker 1>guy was like, oh, of course, and met with him
<v Speaker 1>and talked with him for hours, and he said, I
<v Speaker 1>felt like a total snake in the grass because this
<v Speaker 1>was just the nicest guy, really persuasive about Jesus and
<v Speaker 1>his love, and it was just like I felt lower
<v Speaker 1>than low. But again, that's the perfect thing to inform
<v Speaker 1>his performance for this movie.
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, I think that's awesome. That's super fascinating that both
<v Speaker 3>of those actors would probably have taken their role in
<v Speaker 3>a different direction had they not done those two things.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Absolutely, so. I can remember as a kid, I
<v Speaker 1>thought John Lefgas's character was just this awful, you know,
<v Speaker 1>tyrannical human being. But watching as an adult, I'm like, no,
<v Speaker 1>this guy is the guy who's like, he's trying to
<v Speaker 1>do his best. He's trying hard to make things right
<v Speaker 1>and protect his flock because he's lost one of them,
<v Speaker 1>and the one that he lost was his own kid.
<v Speaker 1>That's a huge that's a huge deal. And so when
<v Speaker 1>I go back and I look and I'm like, who's
<v Speaker 1>the hero, Well, you got two. You have two heroes
<v Speaker 1>in here, two guys who make character shifts. And so
<v Speaker 1>that Kevin Bacon, going from the guy who's insecure and
<v Speaker 1>trying his best to you know, be a part of something,
<v Speaker 1>finds this thing to latch onto, this cause to latch onto,
<v Speaker 1>and then he gets to stand up and talk in
<v Speaker 1>front of the entire town. And it's not something you
<v Speaker 1>can tell. It's not something that he enjoys. As a
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact, that Kevin Bacon, the actor said, I
<v Speaker 1>really don't like public speaking, Like it was difficult for
<v Speaker 1>me to do that scene because I'm not used to
<v Speaker 1>talking in front of a large group of people like that.
<v Speaker 3>He brought that in hives.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean he's kind of weird. I mean he's
<v Speaker 1>a Broadway actor before this, but I guess you know,
<v Speaker 1>the lights are down, you don't see people, you just
<v Speaker 1>in the moment. But with this one, he's trying to
<v Speaker 1>talk to an entire crowd of people and as for
<v Speaker 1>a lot of folks, it's really intimidating. But he it's
<v Speaker 1>because of that he gets that character shift where he's
<v Speaker 1>like he finally gets to pound the table and say
<v Speaker 1>this is wrong and he stands up for something where
<v Speaker 1>he's been kind of beat down through the beginning of
<v Speaker 1>the episode. And then you got John Lithgow who sees,
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's doing all he can to protect people.
<v Speaker 1>He's trying to stop what he sees as this menacing thing.
<v Speaker 1>But then he starts to realize at the book burning
<v Speaker 1>right after he has this horrible encounter with his daughter
<v Speaker 1>in the church, he goes because they're burning books in
<v Speaker 1>front of the library and he sees that his flock
<v Speaker 1>has taken it too far right. It's like he's like,
<v Speaker 1>oh no, this is you know, what I meant for
<v Speaker 1>good has turned into something evil and I've got to
<v Speaker 1>I got to change my perspective of most.
<v Speaker 3>That's really interesting that you say that. So for me,
<v Speaker 3>when you say give me a movie that you had
<v Speaker 3>one perspective as a young person and that perspective has
<v Speaker 3>changed over the years. Phyllis is my number one example.

<v Speaker 1>So be sure and check that out. Check out thirty
<v Speaker 1>something Movie Podcast, check out Podcasts full of Kryptonite.
<v Speaker 3>As a young person, I'm like, let the kids dance, man, absolutely,
<v Speaker 3>and I still like, let the kids dance. But let's
<v Speaker 3>not forget the pastor he lost his son in an accident. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>and he's lost, and he's hurting, and he doesn't want
<v Speaker 3>to lose his daughter as well. And he's got the
<v Speaker 3>responsibility of his flock, like you said, and so it's
<v Speaker 3>it's complex, and he's trying to do the right thing
<v Speaker 3>for everyone right and Ariel is a little bit off
<v Speaker 3>the rails and she's standing on two racing cars going
<v Speaker 3>towards a semi right. As a father, I would brown
<v Speaker 3>upon that behavior, of course.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And my daughter will tell you she's like that
<v Speaker 1>because her parents were too restrictive.
<v Speaker 3>Well, and we all have something to learn.
<v Speaker 1>And I mean I can identify with that as how
<v Speaker 1>I felt when I was a kid too, you know,
<v Speaker 1>like your this is too much. I'm gonna go out
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna do things that are crazy just because
<v Speaker 1>I need to live life a little bit. Yep.
<v Speaker 3>And you mentioned the scene where Wren goes in front
<v Speaker 3>of the school board. Yeah, no, it's the public. It's
<v Speaker 3>the town council.
<v Speaker 1>It's the town council, real life, real life Elmore City
<v Speaker 1>was the school board. By the way, Arla mentioned that
<v Speaker 1>Larry Current that preacher actually looks like John Witkow. Really.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got to meet that guy.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, me too.
<v Speaker 3>But anyway, Dean Pitchford I listened to the commentary, Dean
<v Speaker 3>Pitchford said that that scene was originally written as a
<v Speaker 3>more pound the table type of thing. Let us dance,
<v Speaker 3>this is our moment, we need this, huh. That Kevin
<v Speaker 3>Bacon pulled back, and it gave more gravitas and it
<v Speaker 3>was more like you could hear a pin drop type
<v Speaker 3>of thing. And he said that was the right thing,
<v Speaker 3>that was the right choice for that character.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, the insecurity that you can see and having to
<v Speaker 1>overcome that made it more compelling.
<v Speaker 3>And absolutely, and as a church going person, when you
<v Speaker 3>pull out scripture to aid you in your argument against
<v Speaker 3>a pastor, it's a little disarming.
<v Speaker 1>This powerful moment, A powerful moment, Okay. And I want
<v Speaker 1>to say one of the things that I went ahead
<v Speaker 1>and brought Arlen up. So just a couple of other
<v Speaker 1>little stories. He says he can remember there were some
<v Speaker 1>guys who were trying to break dance behind the school
<v Speaker 1>and cop came and told him if they didn't stop
<v Speaker 1>that they'd get arrested. Now keep in mind he's younger,
<v Speaker 1>like he's he graduated in the late eighties. But this
<v Speaker 1>law was still a law up until nineteen ninety two
<v Speaker 1>in Elmore City. Wow, I mean that's twelve years after
<v Speaker 1>they have first prom Finally they changed the law to
<v Speaker 1>allow for public dancing. He said it was actually the
<v Speaker 1>second time that those guys had gotten caught. The first
<v Speaker 1>time they got caught was by the shop teacher and
<v Speaker 1>he just wailed on him with the paddle.
<v Speaker 4>Old school, which again, right, that's awesome. Hey, you guys,
<v Speaker 4>break it up, no more breakdancing. Back here and get
<v Speaker 4>the paddle out, grab your ankles.
<v Speaker 3>So Kevin Bacon had to do some dancing, he had
<v Speaker 3>to do some gymnastics. He actually said that during the
<v Speaker 3>rage dance. Okay, let's let's talk about the rage dance
<v Speaker 3>for a second. So Ren finally gets tired of it.
<v Speaker 3>He's had enough. So he goes to this warehouse and
<v Speaker 3>he rage dances, right, and he smokes and he drinks
<v Speaker 3>and he dances. Right. This is the Rebellious Act. And
<v Speaker 3>it's a little bit it's I mean, it's a lot
<v Speaker 3>corny and so like it is a little bit ye,
<v Speaker 3>but the music is great and so we go along
<v Speaker 3>with absolutely. But during that scene, I think there were
<v Speaker 3>five total people involved, including Kevin Bacon. So you have
<v Speaker 3>a gymnast, you have like a ballet dancer, you have
<v Speaker 3>Kevin Bacon, you have a dance and so there's five
<v Speaker 3>people involved in that scene. And Kevin Bacon wanted to
<v Speaker 3>do it all himself, and they had to kind of
<v Speaker 3>say making.
<v Speaker 1>Kevin, you're pretty good at a bunch of things.
<v Speaker 3>But this isn't what we want.
<v Speaker 1>So let's go someplace dark and put your face in
<v Speaker 1>the shadow. That's it, and by your face with me
<v Speaker 1>and the other guy.
<v Speaker 3>One of the guys was Chuck Gaylord, who is Mitch
<v Speaker 3>Gaylord's brother. Mitch Gaylord being the Olympic like nineteen eighty
<v Speaker 3>four Olympic Gymnasts, starred in the movie American Anthem nineteen
<v Speaker 3>eighty six.
<v Speaker 1>Wow looking, shoot with your knowledge that boom.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's talk about the tractor scene. First of all,
<v Speaker 3>Ren on a tractor. He has no idea how to
<v Speaker 3>drive a tractor, and they give him the crash course
<v Speaker 3>of like, okay, here's the clutch, here's staring.
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's a great scene where Chris Penn keeps repeating
<v Speaker 1>everything that the other guy is saying. It's hysterical.
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, there's a clutch. Yeah, yeah, there's a clutch.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>And his shoelace gets caught on the accelerator.
<v Speaker 1>Right. I mean, this movie is rebel without a cause,
<v Speaker 1>except that he has a cause now, right is a
<v Speaker 1>throwback to the old James Dean thing. And of course,
<v Speaker 1>just like the old James dean thing. They've got a race,
<v Speaker 1>a chicken race, right, and so you've got this awesome
<v Speaker 1>moment where it's if anybody studied game theory, this is
<v Speaker 1>a really interesting kind of dynamic that you got to
<v Speaker 1>look at because somebody's got to give. Somebody has to
<v Speaker 1>give in this game. And it turns out Ren is
<v Speaker 1>the one that gives.
<v Speaker 3>Ring tries to give about ten dimes.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he gives like ten seconds in. Yeah, okay, that
<v Speaker 1>guy's like one hundred feet from me. So I'm gonna
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and oh shoot my footstock.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, shoelace is stuck around the excel and then he
<v Speaker 3>finally is like, okay, here it comes.
<v Speaker 1>I can't get off, and so now my only option
<v Speaker 1>is to just keep going forward and not like go
<v Speaker 1>off the rails into the ditch. And I wondered, because,
<v Speaker 1>like before when I had watched it, H'm like, how
<v Speaker 1>does he get a shoelace off so easily? Afterwards, when
<v Speaker 1>he finally stops and it starts aginning and it stops again,
<v Speaker 1>you can see him yank his foot really hard. I
<v Speaker 1>can give that up as he's just finally like, I'm
<v Speaker 1>ripping this thing off, and then he starts cheering like
<v Speaker 1>he's the hero and didn't. Yeah, holding out.
<v Speaker 3>For the hero, and you overlay it with the great
<v Speaker 3>Bonnie Tyler song holding Out for a Hero. It is
<v Speaker 3>a great suit. It's funny, it's entertaining, and it's thrilling.
<v Speaker 1>Totally, totally great. One of the best of the movie.
<v Speaker 3>By the way, I don't know if we talked about this.
<v Speaker 3>All this was filmed in Utah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he went to Kevin Bacon went to a high
<v Speaker 1>school in Utah. John Lynch gasaw preacher in Utah, and
<v Speaker 1>the tractor race was in Utah.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's Utah County, Utah, and it's like the heart
<v Speaker 3>of Utah. And when they talked to Herbert Ross, Dean
<v Speaker 3>Pitchford was like, well, I was kind of thinking like
<v Speaker 3>the wheat fields of Oklahoma, and Herbert Ross is like, listen,
<v Speaker 3>trust me. When there's nothing on the screen, but there's
<v Speaker 3>mountains in the background, it's more interesting to look at.
<v Speaker 3>Just just go with me on this. And they're like, okay, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I mean you cannot beat the wheat fields in northern Oklahoma.
<v Speaker 1>Whenever it's June harvest time, it's wonderful. It's like golden
<v Speaker 1>oceans out there, but that's only for about a month
<v Speaker 1>out of the year. Yeah, so not a good time
<v Speaker 1>to try to do that.
<v Speaker 3>One more thing, I wanted to talk about the dance
<v Speaker 3>montage with Kevin Bacon and Chris Penn where he's teaching
<v Speaker 3>him how to dance. So there's this whole dance montage
<v Speaker 3>set to Let's Hear It for the Boy by the
<v Speaker 3>Denise Williams and Kevin Bacon is taking Chrispin under his
<v Speaker 3>wing and he's teaching him how to dance in preparation
<v Speaker 3>for the prom It's interesting because they scattered around and
<v Speaker 3>it's it's in the gym, it's at farm, it's in
<v Speaker 3>the fields, that's the football field.
<v Speaker 1>It's all over the right.
<v Speaker 3>So what they did was while they were filming it,
<v Speaker 3>the last scene of every day on the shooting schedule
<v Speaker 3>was the dance scene, and so Kevin Bacon and Crispan
<v Speaker 3>would dance. Here's the interesting thing. The song that they
<v Speaker 3>had was not Let's Hear It for the Boy. It
<v Speaker 3>was one of the original songs that they have, which
<v Speaker 3>we'll talk about when they go track by track next week.
<v Speaker 3>But when they would do their dancing the last scene
<v Speaker 3>of every day and then they cobbled this montage together,
<v Speaker 3>and that's why it's really cool to see a ton
<v Speaker 3>of different locations and they're dancing.
<v Speaker 1>Sounds great. Okay, Okay, let's jump back over to the
<v Speaker 1>performances in Purple Rank. Okay, we talked before. All of
<v Speaker 1>the characters were pretty much I mean, they were based
<v Speaker 1>on their real life counterparts, right, right. But you've got
<v Speaker 1>one critical character that is an actor that came from
<v Speaker 1>the mod squad, Clarence Williams, the third. He is a
<v Speaker 1>guy who is a driving force through this whole movie,
<v Speaker 1>right right. So it's not a complicated script, right, It's
<v Speaker 1>boy meets girl, Boy loses girl, Boy realizes that he's
<v Speaker 1>enacting the abusive behavior of his father and mother and
<v Speaker 1>realizes he should change, and then also realizes that he's
<v Speaker 1>got this commonality with his father. Boy gets grow back, Boy.
<v Speaker 3>Plays amazing song. Win's Girl back.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, right. So at that point, you know the
<v Speaker 1>scene where he's talking to Prince and he's at he's
<v Speaker 1>talking to the kid and he's at the end of
<v Speaker 1>his rope and he asked him about having a girlfriend. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and he's like lover. He's like, you know, I don't
<v Speaker 1>know yet right, and he's like, don't ever get married.
<v Speaker 1>Was so powerful that Albert Magnoli said they wept as
<v Speaker 1>they watched them perform the scene. Strong, strong performance. And
<v Speaker 1>then again, the reason I say he's the driving force
<v Speaker 1>is because of that change that has to occur in
<v Speaker 1>the kid, like he doesn't want to be like his father,
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't want to be like his mother, but then
<v Speaker 1>he as time goes on, he sees himself becoming them,
<v Speaker 1>which I think was the idea from the beginning, when
<v Speaker 1>Prince first wrote these words down on notebook paper. That
<v Speaker 1>was the whole notion, was that he had become his
<v Speaker 1>mother and had become his father, and that's why he
<v Speaker 1>wanted to play those parts himself and flashback scenes. But
<v Speaker 1>obviously the way they did it was much better than
<v Speaker 1>that idea. But he's got to make that change. Did
<v Speaker 1>I tell you that like the end of the movie
<v Speaker 1>that Prince wrote, he commits suicide, Like that's the end
<v Speaker 1>of that movie, Like he puts in his mom's ear
<v Speaker 1>rings and he goes ahead and commits suicide. So thank
<v Speaker 1>goodness that they didn't do it that way. This was
<v Speaker 1>not this could not be a downer movie with the
<v Speaker 1>music that you have no.
<v Speaker 3>No, they thank you for not making that choice.
<v Speaker 1>Right.
<v Speaker 3>By the way, that advice don't ever get married. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>that's actual advice from Prince's dad to Prince as a
<v Speaker 3>young man.
<v Speaker 1>It is very biographical this movie. Yep. Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>By the way, I don't know if you know this,
<v Speaker 3>and I don't want to get too much into music.
<v Speaker 3>We're talking pretty strictly about movie, right, But when Prince
<v Speaker 3>and Albert Magnoli were working on Purple Rain, Prince gave
<v Speaker 3>him a hundred songs to choose. From one of those
<v Speaker 3>songs that was not in that hundred Purple Rain, right,
<v Speaker 3>another one one dubscry right.
<v Speaker 1>All of I mean those two and one other that
<v Speaker 1>made it onto the soundtrack all came through the live
<v Speaker 1>performance in nineteen eighty three. It was third nineteen eighty three,
<v Speaker 1>Wendy Melvoy's first performance. It was, like I said, last time.
<v Speaker 1>Albert was in the crowd when they did that performance,
<v Speaker 1>and when he heard Purple Rain, that was what made
<v Speaker 1>him go to him and say, I would really like
<v Speaker 1>to make this the key song in the movie. It's
<v Speaker 1>so powerful, And Prince said, can we name the movie?
<v Speaker 1>Purple Rain? Sounds great, let's do it, and what a
<v Speaker 1>great name. It's great, that's great.
<v Speaker 3>The scene where Prince's dad is playing the piano, yep,
<v Speaker 3>and he they're having this discussion about that's the difference
<v Speaker 3>between you and me. I don't have to write my
<v Speaker 3>songs down. That piano piece of piano music. It's actually
<v Speaker 3>being played by Prince.
<v Speaker 1>Right, and it ends up in one of Prince's songs.
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's on computer blue. It's so hard not
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the music on. The movie is all
<v Speaker 1>about the music.
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know. Did you know that Purple Rain
<v Speaker 3>was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by
<v Speaker 3>the Library of Congress.
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's an incredible move.
<v Speaker 3>We will get into that. We will get into that.
<v Speaker 3>You know who the only guy who doesn't speak in
<v Speaker 3>the movie from the Revolution?
<v Speaker 1>Is it? Mark Brown? Mark Brown Brown Mark.
<v Speaker 3>What an unfortunate nickname.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's terrible.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So let's move on to the reception and the
<v Speaker 3>success of these movies.
<v Speaker 1>Right. So, both of these movies, the album came out
<v Speaker 1>before the movie, right.
<v Speaker 3>And that's huge, particularly in Purple Rain's instance.
<v Speaker 1>I would say it's huge in Footloose's instance as well. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, if you don't know those songs already,
<v Speaker 1>there are new songs when you're watching a movie and
<v Speaker 1>they're not as impactful. Well, that's true, Footloose. The album
<v Speaker 1>did so well that people would buy the album having
<v Speaker 1>never seen the movie before the fact that it was
<v Speaker 1>getting played on the radio had a huge impot me.
<v Speaker 1>It was, like we talked about with Huey Lewis, Power
<v Speaker 1>of Love was the number one song the week that
<v Speaker 1>Back to the Future came out. The very first cool
<v Speaker 1>scene that we see is him skateboarding behind the cars,
<v Speaker 1>and that music is what's playing in the background, and
<v Speaker 1>so it it's perfect that the album comes out before
<v Speaker 1>and everybody's familiar with these and they are dancing along
<v Speaker 1>with those guys.
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about the original ending of Phillis before we
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, okay, we kind of it goes along with
<v Speaker 3>what you were talking about this success. The original ending
<v Speaker 3>was they got the council to agree to let them
<v Speaker 3>have a dance. Yes, And the director his quote was,
<v Speaker 3>if you spin the whole movie trying to get the car,
<v Speaker 3>when they give you the keys to the car, you
<v Speaker 3>actually possess the car, right and that's the end of
<v Speaker 3>the story. So they screened it with basically they arrive
<v Speaker 3>at the prom and that's the end, right, Yeah, So
<v Speaker 3>Dean Pitchford says, guys, I think we need to add
<v Speaker 3>a song here and let them dance and let the
<v Speaker 3>audience participate in the dance.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely.
<v Speaker 3>And so when they originally screened it with the just
<v Speaker 3>arriving at the prom and that's the end of the movie,
<v Speaker 3>audiences did.
<v Speaker 1>Not like the movie.
<v Speaker 3>But you throw in the Kenny Loggins go Crazy footloose song,
<v Speaker 3>and you have the break dancers, and you have Kevin
<v Speaker 3>Bacon come in, let's dance and they dance, and you
<v Speaker 3>have the credits and all that stuff.
<v Speaker 1>You went into Bill Cosby a little bit and the
<v Speaker 1>dancing with Jews and stuff.
<v Speaker 3>But it went from a movie that was disliked to
<v Speaker 3>a movie that was a huge smash because the audience
<v Speaker 3>wanted to party with the cast.
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's like you said, if you're spending the
<v Speaker 1>whole movie trying to get the car and you end
<v Speaker 1>with them getting the keys, the audience is like going
<v Speaker 1>to be where's the car. I want to see the car.
<v Speaker 3>I want ride in the car.
<v Speaker 1>That's the whole point of the whole movie. And you
<v Speaker 1>also had to have some sort of resolution with the bullies, right, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Trick's boyfriend. You had to have some sort of resolution,
<v Speaker 1>and they chose to have a parking lot brawl out
<v Speaker 1>of it. I think that's great. Let's kick a little,
<v Speaker 1>but let's get these guys out of here. Let's do
<v Speaker 1>a big karate kick to the face, and then let's
<v Speaker 1>go dance. That's it, let's dance. Side note. Elmore city
<v Speaker 1>first prom theme was Stairway to Heaven.
<v Speaker 3>Nice.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there's any break dancing going on.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think break dancing a thing yet in nineteen
<v Speaker 1>eighty I think it was like eighty two that break
<v Speaker 1>dancing really started.
<v Speaker 3>That's the type of information you get here at the Shirley.
<v Speaker 3>Can't be serious there you go.
<v Speaker 1>Nowhere else will you find that information?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, all right, let's flip back to Purple Rain. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>reception here is where the match hits the fuse of
<v Speaker 3>the megaton bomb that becomes purple rain. So you have win.
<v Speaker 3>Doves Cry is released as a single and video May
<v Speaker 3>sixteenth and nineteen eighty four, and I can tell you
<v Speaker 3>from experience it was the song of the Summer of
<v Speaker 3>eighty four. The album drops a month and a half later,
<v Speaker 3>June twenty fifth, nineteen eighty four, and then on July sixteenth,
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighty four, Wind Doves Cry is the number one
<v Speaker 3>song in the country. That's when they released Let's Go
<v Speaker 3>Crazy July sixteen, and then the movie drops July twenty seventh,
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighty five.
<v Speaker 1>Then they have the Hollywood premiere of the movie. Everyone
<v Speaker 1>shows up. It's crazy like it's a red carpet event.
<v Speaker 1>You've got Eddie Murphy, You've got Prince and all his
<v Speaker 1>purple wonderfulness. It is a huge, huge event. It is.
<v Speaker 1>It is.
<v Speaker 3>Let me back up a second. I got a little
<v Speaker 3>bit ahead of myself.
<v Speaker 1>Okay.
<v Speaker 3>So when they finished the movie, they screened.
<v Speaker 1>It for Warner Brothers.
<v Speaker 3>Ok okay, they showed it. After the first screening, everybody
<v Speaker 3>thought it was a dud zinks what So Magnoli said, listen,
<v Speaker 3>this movie's going to do forty million dollars. Don't kill
<v Speaker 3>this movie. If you do, it will be a travesty
<v Speaker 3>against art. Let this movie live. And he kind of
<v Speaker 3>had that pounding thing. He said, here's what you do.
<v Speaker 3>Here's your marketing campaign. You put an ad in every
<v Speaker 3>paper saying Warner Brothers presents prints in his first motion picture,
<v Speaker 3>Purple Rain, in every major city that has a black community.
<v Speaker 3>They tested in Culver City, California. The numbers were so
<v Speaker 3>far through the roof that they accused the producer of
<v Speaker 3>stacking the deck. They're like, this is bogus, this is
<v Speaker 3>bull You called all your friends. So what we're gonna
<v Speaker 3>do is we're going to screen it two other places,
<v Speaker 3>and we're not going to tell you where we're going
<v Speaker 3>to do it. So they screened it in Denver and
<v Speaker 3>in San Diego, and this thing happened.
<v Speaker 1>Numbers through the roof.
<v Speaker 3>They had to show up multiple times because people would
<v Speaker 3>come back and want to watch it again. Yeah, and
<v Speaker 3>so they were like, well, this is crazy. We don't
<v Speaker 3>get it. But it's it's on fire, right, So that's
<v Speaker 3>when they decided. One of Brothers decided to put on
<v Speaker 3>nine hundred screens worldwide, and it made close to seventy
<v Speaker 3>million dollars that summer.
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome, by.
<v Speaker 3>The way, if you get a chance to go back
<v Speaker 3>and look at that MTV premiere, yeah, it's super cool.
<v Speaker 1>All right. So normally this is the point where we
<v Speaker 1>would go into the soundtracks of the movie.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Yeah, let's do it.
<v Speaker 1>Man. I'm ready to talk Musing next week. No, these
<v Speaker 1>two albums are too big to make a single part
<v Speaker 1>of some other show. You've got to come back. We
