This was a fascinating chat, and a different side of the story compared to Charlie talking about it on his own podcast. Shout out to Pete for getting such thorough and unique answers, and to Charlie for being so honest and generous.
Love ya Chawleee! I saw Fool's Paradise in the theater and again at home. I was kinda saddened & a bit confused by some of the immediate negative response, hoping that doesn't derail your confidence or desire for future features.
It seems trivial but I love the closing. He invites you back to "Sunny..." and offers himself for a role in your movie. It doesn't sound like Hollywood talk there. Very sincere.
This is such an incredible interview! Personally I adored the movie as it is, but now I'd love see an alternate-universe version where it's still El Tonto.
Starting from the beginning again now but that part about stealing shots with a dP + audio recorder to create is always refreshing. I’m most often a 1 man band. I definitely understand the commerce side of it but…I often just wanna GO! That’s 1 reason why I love interviewing so much. I don’t need a crew of 9 to get it done.
bud, the sunny is A piece of americana with a gem cookie monster in there... but you would still be charlie K even if the show stopped after 2 years and u gave up acting going back to theatre. You all reinvented lucy ball with D and basically help set the lexicon of the age for historians to look back upon. You gotta go to 20 years- at least until you all are Frank's age when he started show... lmao that would be freaking hillarious
