Listen: Robert Davi and Bruce Robinson join us for a very special Motion Captured Podcast
You'll hear Davi sing and play Movie God! and Robinson in an in-depth interview
Johnny Depp and Bruce Robinson, one of our special guests this week, share a laugh on the set of the new film 'The Rum Diary'
That last podcast may have posted very very late, but look! Here's another one about five minutes later. That makes up for it… right?
This one's packed with a preposterous amount of great stuff, and I'm really proud of it. This is what I want from the podcast, this kind of eclectic mix of material, and I think this week can serve as an example of what this show is at its best.
First, you'll hear two full songs this week, one at the beginning of the podcast, and one at the end. This is unusual, but I've got permission since the singer is our very special guest for Movie God and Remake This!, the great Robert Davi. You know his face even if you don't know the name, and you've probably seen him in more films than you can count. Scott's been doing some work with Davi for the last few years, and the end result of all of that work just hit record stores this week. Davi isn't just an actor, after all, but is also a rather accomplished vocalist, and his tribute album to Frank Sinatra is a knock-out. I wanted to have him on to talk about the album and to play some games that would give you guys a better idea of who he is and what sort of films are important to him.
I also had the opportunity to chat with Bruce Robinson, who directed this week's new release "The Rum Diary." More importantly, he's the director of "Withnail & I," which makes him pretty much a legend as far as I'm concerned. I can't believe I finally got a chance to talk to him. After "Jennifer 8," he swore off the film business, and I guess I figured that was it. Somehow Johnny Depp coaxed him out of retirement, though, and you can read my review of "The Rum Diary" if you're curious how that worked out.
Here's the breakdown of this week's episode:
"The Best Is Yet To Come" by Robert Davi / 00:00 - 2:50
Introduction / 2:50 - 3:35
Universal Haunted Horror Nights memories / 3:35 -
What happened to the last podcast? / 25:00 - 28:00
Robert Davi, The Great American Songbook, and Movie God! / 28:00 - 1:11:30
Bruce Robinson talks "Rum Diary," "Withnail & I" and more / 1:11:30 - 1:45:50
Wrapping It Up / 1:45:50 - 1:51:50
"In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning" by Robert Davi / 1:51:50 - 1:54:40
It's a long one, but I've given both of my guests a lot of room to talk, and I think they both more than rose to the occasion.
As always, you can listen to the podcast embedded below or download it here, or you can find us on iTunes. Whichever way you find it, I thank you, and we'll be back with our next podcast on the afternoon on November 7.

October 28, 2011 at 6:02PM EST Reply to CommentThe way Robert Davi worked his love of singing into his character in "The Goonies" helped his performance to make a lasting impression, and really brought a one-dimensional character to life...I think it actually may have made his character seem more threatening, adding the unpredictability of a man who would break into opera on a whim while in the act of the most cruel, heinous things...

October 29, 2011 at 11:40AM EST Reply to CommentI remember years ago catching on TV this thriller called "Deception" from the early 90s starring Harry Hamlin as a cop and INSANELY young and Nicolette Sheridan as a suspect. Robert Davi played Hamlin's either superior and he had a line that has stuck with me ever since. About Nicolette's character Davi said "She's a walking wet dream."
Ever since then whenever I see a girls who's sexiness is off the charts I think "She's a walking wet dream!"

October 29, 2011 at 4:26PM EST Reply to CommentI am one of those people that Goonies hit just at the right time. How awesome would it be to see a sequel for a new generation, but with the as much as the old cast returning in some way. Davi seems like a really cool guy, it would be great seeing him reprise his character. Spielberg produces, JJ Abrams directs.
