Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh dog himself, Darryl britt Gibson, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I love it, man, I could spend so much time
these credits, but we got to focus on she taught love.
I'm blown away. I just just read just now that
you wrote it too. I didn't know that while doing
my homework. That's that's incredible. But I was talking talking
about you too, uh to my son last night because
(00:26):
his favorite series was Barry. Really oh, and we just
saw the news that Bill Hayter, I guess, and the
creator of Barry, they're working on something new for HBO.
I don't know if I'm breaking that news to you
or not. And then and then I see Keanu, and
I'll tell you what. I wish Jordan Peel didn't become
as successful as he did because there would have been
(00:48):
a Keanu too, and there should be.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Oh man, so great man, right? I love that movie
so much and the people involved in it, it was like,
what is this one of those experiences that you never
forget and you're just so grateful that you got.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
To be a part of it, and you know, would
you agree with me? Like, not enough people know about it.
It didn't reach it's not a cult classic. Some people
might call it one. It's like, nah, it's not. It's
it's not a lot of people know that movie, and
they should.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's funny and it's one of those movies that like
if you if you saw it, you like loved it, right,
It wasn't like, oh, you casually just saw it and
you're right. I feel like more people. I wish more
people would have seen it, because I think it's really
funny and very much if it's time in some ways,
and you know, Jordan nick Egan, you know it's I
(01:42):
think it's hilarious, and you do and your son does,
so I guess, oh.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, yeah, we have absolutely who are you wanting to do?
My my asking who were you on? Barry? I'm just
trying to figure out my son was watching it all
and then in the end he made me. You know,
when you binge watch, sometimes a lot of these shows
can become a blur. So I did the whole series run.
I even had Henry Winkler on the show at one
(02:06):
point because the work he did there was extraordinary. But
it's not like, I.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Know, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
My guy, unbelievable what the character he created there especially
for a fifty seven year old like me. You know,
I knew him as the Fans. I watched the Fans
every Tuesday night as a kid. But who were you on, Barry?
Was it just a one off? Did you have a
recurring character?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I was a recurring character in the first season. I
was in every episode. The second season, I was in
I don't know, I lost track, but I'm in the classroom.
I played Jermaine different Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, I love the classroom scenes. There was kind of
a bummer when they got away from all that. So
that's interesting because that must have informed she taught love
because your character had his time in the spotlight, right,
and this is this is life after those the fifteen
minutes of fame. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, it's a different it's such a different speed. But
I look at my career and the pieces that I've
been blessed to be a part of, and I've just
worked with some of the greatest and some of some
of my favorites, and I think all of those things
(03:29):
that I've been a part of, and those people that
have been less to work with have given me gems
that helped me get to the space where I felt
confident enough to write my own piece and put that
out into the world.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And what genre would you Are you even comfortable with
throwing down a genre as far as she Taught Love
is concerned. I mean, because when you read the you
read the synopsis, you can come away from that thing
that's a very funny setup, or you could come away
from that thing and that it's a very heavy shut up.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, it's it's a romance and it's a drama and
life is just funny, if that makes sense. It's it's
not a rom com in any way. It's very much
a romance. It's a love story. It's a drama. But
the elements of it that are funny aren't written necessarily
(04:23):
for jokes. They're just funny because life is funny. But
it's for sure a romance and a love story. And
it's one of those you know, classic you gotta see it,
And I think what people say, because there's not much
that's just what I guess we're used to. But this
(04:46):
is a this is a throwback man to to to
the good old days of like just true romances of
like one of my inspirations for the film is Before Sunrise,
And there's also the movie Love Jones. Yeah, it's it's
this is just a classic, classic feel and something it's
for everybody. I'm excited for the world.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
To have it, damn And before Sunrise you know too.
I mean that that's heavy on conversation, that's just two
people bouncing off each other. Is that a lot of
what's in She Taught Love? I mean, because the first
one that wound up being a trilogy. I swear they're
lying about always planning for that to be a trilogy.
I don't. I don't think that was the case. But
(05:29):
that first one, it was all it was just the
two of them. It was just Ethan and Julia, and
that was it. So are you heavy on conversation and
She Taught Love too?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's it's I think it's it's heavy in conversation that
just is organic to the live life and the lives
that we all collectively live. It's not afraid to have
those conversations that you feel are can be tough to have,
or those moments in your life where you're trying to
(06:02):
figure out where you stand in somebody's life, and and
it's really a journey of love and life and and
just the beauty that the all encompassing beauty that is
us and and you know, especially these two black people,
you are just madly in love and being allowed to
(06:24):
just be in love without it being the traumas of
our life, which we can see anytime you turn on
the news or just walk outside. It's it's a it's
a it's a love letter to that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I can't wait to check it out. I know it's
streaming on Hulu. What is the date that it drops?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
September twenty seventh, So that is all, damn Mark.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
So I got, I got, I got some weekend viewing
to do.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Oh, you've got some in the zooing and you've got
you gotta check it out. I promise it was going
to be a new favorite movie.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah. Well, this kind of stuff, oddly it up. I
don't know if it's a genre itself, but I love
behind the scenes. I always have stuff that involves the
entertainment industry and what happens behind the scenes, what it
can do to you, for better for worse. I've always
loved the inside Hollywood stuff. It's odd, but even you know,
as a young guy, the books that I read, I
(07:17):
always love behind the scenes, even fictionalized behind the scenes
you know.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, those, I love it too. I love being It's
kind of like the insider baseball thing where you kind
of get to peek behind the curtain of an industry
that if you're not in it, you know of it,
but to see kind of how it's you know when
they say, you know, you get to see how the
food is made.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, And it has that because I've been an actor
in this industry for a while now, so I've experienced
things in situations that, you know, the movie will start
off with a scene that is like something that a
lot of actors will be able to relate to, having
(08:03):
you know, gone into auditions themselves.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
And it's She Taught Love and it stars Darryl britt Gibson,
who also wrote it. And I wanted to be a
huge hit. And then you'll get such street cred. You
can write Keanu too, and and then and we can
make that happen. That's my that's my hope here there.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It is tell Uh yeah. So Jordan's yeah, he's.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Lost his way, he's getting he's all dark and creepy
now he's doing you know, spooky movies.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Very he's the new Hitchcock. He's he's absolutely the new Hitchcock.
So I think he's done with Yeah. I didn't see
that coming, to be honest. You know, I'm a huge
fan of Key and Peel. I kind of didn't see
you know, him becoming.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Such a master of horror and suspense. You know.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, it's an interesting thing because I think there's this
like perception that if you do come you that's just
the only thing you can do, when in reality, like
if somebody can write comedy really really well, they can
write everything well. Like you know, Jordan didn't just wake
up and make get out. I mean he's been he
(09:16):
had that for years and years, you know, and when
and to finally get it made, I mean, he's it's yeah,
he's uh, he's He's extraordinary. Truly.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
It's something. And I think you're following in the footsteps man,
and it's Daryl Britt Gibson. I appreciate you coming on today.
Count on me. What this is my Saturday night is
she taught love, Lauren h my ex taught me hate.
But that's the story for another time.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
We'll send them She tall love say their ways.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
