Speaker 3 (02:27):
This is from at Warning Jimbo, and they said, I
love the phrase bear with me because it either means

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Mario Lopez coming up.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You're on Mario Lopez corookerminder to hit Uponmara dot com
for all the big moments from my recent iHeart Radio
Music Awards and if you missed it, to stream the
entire show right now in Hulu. Am Mario Courtney Lopez
music rolls on as we fire up Zoom, we get
ready to talk with actor Matthew Modine.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
It's called Classic Vision Quest is turning forty this year,
and of course we got to talk stranger things back
with Matthew Modine in ten Don't Move.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
It's up here with Mario Lopez joining me right now
on Zoom actor and filmmaker mister Matthew Modine.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
What's going on, Matthew?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Brother?
Speaker 5 (03:42):
It's good to be with you.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Always good to see you, my man, Always good to
see you. So this month I want to get right
to it because you know it's one of my favorites
being a former wrestler. The fortieth anniversary of the Classic
Vision Quest, a wrestling romantic drama. You don't see that
mashup happening. And by the way, dare I say one
of the most underrated soundtracks of all Time. The soundtrack
(04:04):
is awesome. What you remember most about that time film
in that movie, you know.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Was that magical time. We have a desire to be
an actor. You know, it's insane, the idea of pursuing
the profession of being an actor. I mean, I go
to NBA games and I think about how few people
are able to make it to that level of athleticism
(04:34):
and brilliance to be a member of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It's a small club.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
And when you think about this profession that we're in,
being an actor, that the chances are probably one in
a million that you find success in this profession. And
there I was, you know, it's twenty two years old,
coming from Imperial Beach, California, moving to New York City
because I wanted to give far away from all my
(05:01):
friends who were saying you can't do that, You're never
gonna make it, and you want to get away from
all those naysayers and and and figure out how how
to do it. So I had done at that point.
I did Baby It's You with Rosanna Arquette, and then
I did Private School with Phoebe Kate's and then all
of a sudden I got my first starring role in
(05:22):
a Harold Becker movie called Vision Quest. You know, there's
a great line in that movie broadcast News. Albert Brooks
is talking to William Hurt, and William Hurt says something like,
what do you do when your life exceeds your dreams?
And Albert Brooks says, you keep your mouth shut? And
my life, my life was exceeding my dreams at that point,
(05:44):
that point, that point, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, that's awesome. What a point you in line too.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Matthew Modine is hanging out with us. Okay, hang tight,
We're gonna come back and talk more.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
After a quick break more Mario Lopez coming up, catch it.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Up with after Matthew Modine. This hour your old Mario Lope.
And we were just talking about Vision Quest. And in
that film, of course, Madonna made her big screen debut.
Was it like being on set with her? Did you
get to interact or hang out at all?
Speaker 5 (06:11):
We had one of those two bangers, you know. We
were in a small trailer and she was just a
few inches from me through that thin wall, and she
was dating a guy named jelly Bean Benita's yeah, really
famous record producer, and apparently she wanted to marry him,
and she was she was really angry, and there was
a lot of noise about her wow about getting marriage,
(06:35):
and then she I don't think she was on set
for more than six hours, And I'd love to find
this out, but I think that Warner Brothers had this
kind of unspoken rule that if you were a Warner
Brothers artist, you had to do some like be in
a movie being you know, to promote your music. So
she was the band that they put in the movie.
And there's a scene that was written especially for her
(06:58):
to be able to come in, and she sang Gambler
and she had that boy George vibe, the way she
dressed in those days. And then she sang crazy Crazy
for You, and we went, oh, wow, she's got some chops,
she can sing and that that was a really sweet,
romantic song. And when the film opened overseas, they changed
(07:19):
the title from Vision Quest to Crazy for You. Really
because Madonna blew up, you know, like a virgin came
out and the rest is history.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Wow, that's a fun fact too. Yeah, Journey was on
that only the such a great sound. Yeah. Red Rider,
yeah exactly, Red Rider, yup? All right, hang tied form
you We're gonna have more with Matthew Modean, but first
more music all Mario Lopez, more with our guest, and
just a bit. In the meantime, I'm gonna keep the
music coming your way. If you got a song you
want here, please slide into my DMS over on ig
(07:46):
add on with Mario Lopez. Statted it up with actor
Matthew modein this hour. Mario Lopez, You've been talking fortieth
anniversary of Vision Quest, but in a couple of years
it's gonna be the fortieth anniversary a full metal jacket.
How was it? How? How was that experience with Kubrick?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
It was, you know, I can't compare the experience of
working with Kubrick with any of the other filmmakers I've
I've worked with, you know, I like to say they
all make love, they all do it a little bit differently.
Kubrick we were together for two years, so I can't.
I can't really compare it to other experiences. The only
other director I worked with a lot was Robert Altman,
(08:27):
which was you know, streamers and shortcuts, and I did
a play with him in London at the Old VIC
called Resurrection Blues and Arthur Miller play. It was a
gigantic disaster, fantastically bad. It was. It was wonderful. In
England they still talk about that terrible play and and
(08:49):
you know, it wasn't It wasn't necessarily my fault. It
was a whole it was. There should have been a
play about them, about us doing the play like Noises Off.
But yeah, he I mean some of the direction that
people are shocked by that I really loved. Was like,
(09:11):
this is a really specific direction. You're not going to
do it that way, are you?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I mean no, I don't know what I was thinking.
I'm not going to do it that way. That's good,
but it's so specific. He didn't want to get into
the psychology of why you're doing something or you know,
all the method stuff. He just it was like, that
doesn't work. Do something different and or act scared, right,
that's very specific. If a director tells you act scared
(09:41):
because you're scared, it's going to be different than mine.
It's going to be different than ten different actors. Everybody's
going to do it a little bit different. Sure how
you interpret being scared?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You know, I'm going to use that line because it
just like you're not gonna do that way. You've inspired
me to use that. Hey time, one more thing I
want to ask. I'm going to come back and wrap
it up with Matthew Modin after a quick break.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
We hear the full interview now at on with Mario
dot Com. More Mario Lopez.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
On the way wrapping up with Matthew Modean. Mario Lopez here,
and you mentioned Stranger Things, which of course is going
into a fifth and final season. Now, doctor Brenner appears
to have died, but then it looks like there is
he possibly returns or is it flashbacks because on social media?
Are you allowed to discuss it or we have to
wait and see.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
No, I'm not allowed to discuss it. I'm a troll.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I love teasing, teasing the fans of Stranger Things because
there I've never had such passionate fans in my life.
I mean, you always hear like, I'm a New York
Knicks fan. This is my New York's yes see that
the players talk about that these are the greatest fans ever.
But you always hear athletes say it. You wonder, are
the fans in Buffalo really the greatest fans? Are the
(10:50):
fans in Kansas City. The greatest fans are Philly or
New York Yankee fans, et cetera, La Dodgers fans. But
I really have to say, I think that the stranger things, man,
I've never experienced a globally, you know, especially the ones
down in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, they're so passionate. And if you like something that
on Instagram or make a comment or wave to somebody
in Brazil, it's you feel them with such joy and
happiness and love. It's such you know, It's what my
Mom's always just to say. It doesn't take any time
to be kind, right, And so when I hit on
(11:33):
Instagram and say hi to people, it makes me feel
good and hopefully it always makes them feel good.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I've always enjoy catching up with you and a big
fan of your work, Matthew, and I want everyone if
you've never seen Vision Quests, you have to check it out.
It is a classic, true eighties classic. Thanks so much
for the time, and I hope I get to see
in person soon.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Thank you, Mario. I hope to be on your show
again soon.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Gave you the music and fun coming at you. You're
on Mario Lopez. Few more songs than going to get
a life hack from Courtney's Corner up, so hang tight
for that. In the meantime, we'd love to play a
song for you. So have you got a song you
want to hear? Slide those requests into our DMS over
an ig at on Mario Lopez, don't to share another
helpful live acker omar and Courtney Lopez. Al Right, honey,
what are we talking about in Courtney's Corner today?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Spring cleaning? And I don't even want to talk about
what happened to me yesterday.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Please do what happened?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
So we had company Friday.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh yes, I know what happened. This is awful.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
We had company Friday nights. So I had extra soda
and stuff because we were making drinks. And you know,
I was putting away the soda last night. And we
had an insane weekend of we were just busy every
second of the day. And I'm not complaining. It was
an amazing weekend, but I was exhausted by the end
(13:05):
of the weekend. I was carrying the soda to put
it away. I dropped one of it.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
No, don't start laughing yet. I can just envision this.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I dropped one of the cans of sodas that rolled
it fell down the steps. No okay from upstairs, bounces
shattered at the bottom of the steps. I now have
to repaint my walls.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Exploded.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Itoded every wall you can think of.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And I all I could do was laugh. I wanted
to cry. I was so tired. I just wanted to
get ready for bed. So now, since we're talking about
spring cleaning, I have to paint my walls. But anyway
back to spring cleaning. I did this when we were
moving a few years ago and it really really helped.
So it's never too early to start making a plan.
(13:59):
And if you're someone who is procrastinates or gets overwhelmed
by the size of a project, here's what you do.
Spring clean one cupboard or shelf a week, and by
that I mean empty, sort, toss, wipe down, and put
things back in an orderly way. A little bit every
week soon adds up and you can start to eliminate
clutter by creating a pile of stuff to donate In
(14:19):
just a few weeks and your home looks great and
you'll be able to find things digging around for them.
That's what I tell my dad, our daughter when I say,
you need to clean out your drawers because there's things
in there that don't fit you anymore. Do one drawer
a day, exactly one drawer day, and by no time
you'll have everything done and it doesn't seem so overwhelming.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Out of that, poor.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Mario Lopez coming up, you're Mario Lopez digging into the
buzz because Harrison Ford has de thrown the.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Rock on with Mario Hollywood buzz.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So congrats to eighty one year old Harrison Ford. My
guy joined the MCU universe plane Red Hull, and it's
catapulted into the top of the High Is grossing actors.
With the addition to Captain America Brave New World, Harrison's.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Collective box office hall a four point three to two
billion has pushed him one hundred and forty million above
Dwayne the Rock Johnson, who previously held the title.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Wow, I'm actually surprised to hear that the Rock had
it prior to Harrison, because if you think about Indiana
Jones in all the Star Wars movies, you think it'd
be a no brainer. But then again, well, no, it's
just inflation. Yeah, because back then Star Wars in nineteen
seventy seven, and even the New Star Wars. You were
(15:34):
paying what three dollars for a movie ticket?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Off?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Fat? Is that?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
If? That probably? And then now you're paying fifteen twenty
twenty five. Yeah, you gotta just for inflation. Yeah, it's
got to be like number of tickets sold.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Correct, correct, Mario Lopez will be right back.

and she was she was really angry, and there was
a lot of noise about her wow about getting marriage,
(06:35):
and then she I don't think she was on set
for more than six hours, And I'd love to find
this out, but I think that Warner Brothers had this
kind of unspoken rule that if you were a Warner
Brothers artist, you had to do some like be in
a movie being you know, to promote your music. So
she was the band that they put in the movie.
And there's a scene that was written especially for her
(06:58):
to be able to come in, and she sang Gambler
and she had that boy George vibe, the way she
dressed in those days. And then she sang crazy Crazy
for You, and we went, oh, wow, she's got some chops,
she can sing and that that was a really sweet,
romantic song. And when the film opened overseas, they changed
(07:19):
the title from Vision Quest to Crazy for You. Really
because Madonna blew up, you know, like a virgin came
out and the rest is history.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Wow, that's a fun fact too. Yeah, Journey was on
that only the such a great sound. Yeah. Red Rider,
yeah exactly, Red Rider, yup? All right, hang tied form
you We're gonna have more with Matthew Modean, but first
more music all Mario Lopez, more with our guest, and
just a bit. In the meantime, I'm gonna keep the
music coming your way. If you got a song you
want here, please slide into my DMS over on ig
(07:46):
add on with Mario Lopez. Statted it up with actor
Matthew modein this hour. Mario Lopez, You've been talking fortieth
anniversary of Vision Quest, but in a couple of years
it's gonna be the fortieth anniversary a full metal jacket.
How was it? How? How was that experience with Kubrick?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
It was, you know, I can't compare the experience of
working with Kubrick with any of the other filmmakers I've
I've worked with, you know, I like to say they
all make love, they all do it a little bit differently.
Kubrick we were together for two years, so I can't.
I can't really compare it to other experiences. The only
other director I worked with a lot was Robert Altman,
(08:27):
which was you know, streamers and shortcuts, and I did
a play with him in London at the Old VIC
called Resurrection Blues and Arthur Miller play. It was a
gigantic disaster, fantastically bad. It was. It was wonderful. In
England they still talk about that terrible play and and
(08:49):
you know, it wasn't It wasn't necessarily my fault. It
was a whole it was. There should have been a
play about them, about us doing the play like Noises Off.
But yeah, he I mean some of the direction that
people are shocked by that I really loved. Was like,
(09:11):
this is a really specific direction. You're not going to
do it that way, are you?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I mean no, I don't know what I was thinking.
I'm not going to do it that way. That's good,
but it's so specific. He didn't want to get into
the psychology of why you're doing something or you know,
all the method stuff. He just it was like, that
doesn't work. Do something different and or act scared, right,
that's very specific. If a director tells you act scared
(09:41):
because you're scared, it's going to be different than mine.
It's going to be different than ten different actors. Everybody's
going to do it a little bit different. Sure how
you interpret being scared?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You know, I'm going to use that line because it
just like you're not gonna do that way. You've inspired
me to use that. Hey time, one more thing I
want to ask. I'm going to come back and wrap
it up with Matthew Modin after a quick break.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
We hear the full interview now at on with Mario
dot Com. More Mario Lopez.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
On the way wrapping up with Matthew Modean. Mario Lopez here,
and you mentioned Stranger Things, which of course is going
into a fifth and final season. Now, doctor Brenner appears
to have died, but then it looks like there is
he possibly returns or is it flashbacks because on social media?
Are you allowed to discuss it or we have to
wait and see.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
No, I'm not allowed to discuss it. I'm a troll.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I love teasing, teasing the fans of Stranger Things because
there I've never had such passionate fans in my life.
I mean, you always hear like, I'm a New York
Knicks fan. This is my New York's yes see that
the players talk about that these are the greatest fans ever.
But you always hear athletes say it. You wonder, are
the fans in Buffalo really the greatest fans? Are the
(10:50):
fans in Kansas City. The greatest fans are Philly or
New York Yankee fans, et cetera, La Dodgers fans. But
I really have to say, I think that the stranger things, man,
I've never experienced a globally, you know, especially the ones
down in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, they're so passionate. And if you like something that
on Instagram or make a comment or wave to somebody
in Brazil, it's you feel them with such joy and
happiness and love. It's such you know, It's what my
Mom's always just to say. It doesn't take any time
to be kind, right, And so when I hit on
(11:33):
Instagram and say hi to people, it makes me feel
good and hopefully it always makes them feel good.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I've always enjoy catching up with you and a big
fan of your work, Matthew, and I want everyone if
you've never seen Vision Quests, you have to check it out.
It is a classic, true eighties classic. Thanks so much
for the time, and I hope I get to see
in person soon.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Thank you, Mario. I hope to be on your show
again soon.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Gave you the music and fun coming at you. You're
on Mario Lopez. Few more songs than going to get
a life hack from Courtney's Corner up, so hang tight
for that. In the meantime, we'd love to play a
song for you. So have you got a song you
want to hear? Slide those requests into our DMS over
an ig at on Mario Lopez, don't to share another
helpful live acker omar and Courtney Lopez. Al Right, honey,
what are we talking about in Courtney's Corner today?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Spring cleaning? And I don't even want to talk about
what happened to me yesterday.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Please do what happened?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
So we had company Friday.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh yes, I know what happened. This is awful.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
We had company Friday nights. So I had extra soda
and stuff because we were making drinks. And you know,
I was putting away the soda last night. And we
had an insane weekend of we were just busy every
second of the day. And I'm not complaining. It was
an amazing weekend, but I was exhausted by the end
(13:05):
of the weekend. I was carrying the soda to put
it away. I dropped one of it.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
No, don't start laughing yet. I can just envision this.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I dropped one of the cans of sodas that rolled
it fell down the steps. No okay from upstairs, bounces
shattered at the bottom of the steps. I now have
to repaint my walls.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Exploded.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Itoded every wall you can think of.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And I all I could do was laugh. I wanted
to cry. I was so tired. I just wanted to
get ready for bed. So now, since we're talking about
spring cleaning, I have to paint my walls. But anyway
back to spring cleaning. I did this when we were
moving a few years ago and it really really helped.
So it's never too early to start making a plan.
(13:59):
And if you're someone who is procrastinates or gets overwhelmed
by the size of a project, here's what you do.
Spring clean one cupboard or shelf a week, and by
that I mean empty, sort, toss, wipe down, and put
things back in an orderly way. A little bit every
week soon adds up and you can start to eliminate
clutter by creating a pile of stuff to donate In
(14:19):
just a few weeks and your home looks great and
you'll be able to find things digging around for them.
That's what I tell my dad, our daughter when I say,
you need to clean out your drawers because there's things
in there that don't fit you anymore. Do one drawer
a day, exactly one drawer day, and by no time
you'll have everything done and it doesn't seem so overwhelming.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Out of that, poor.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Mario Lopez coming up, you're Mario Lopez digging into the
buzz because Harrison Ford has de thrown the.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Rock on with Mario Hollywood buzz.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So congrats to eighty one year old Harrison Ford. My
guy joined the MCU universe plane Red Hull, and it's
catapulted into the top of the High Is grossing actors.
With the addition to Captain America Brave New World, Harrison's.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Collective box office hall a four point three to two
billion has pushed him one hundred and forty million above
Dwayne the Rock Johnson, who previously held the title.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Wow, I'm actually surprised to hear that the Rock had
it prior to Harrison, because if you think about Indiana
Jones in all the Star Wars movies, you think it'd
be a no brainer. But then again, well, no, it's
just inflation. Yeah, because back then Star Wars in nineteen
seventy seven, and even the New Star Wars. You were
(15:34):
paying what three dollars for a movie ticket?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Off?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Fat? Is that?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
If? That probably? And then now you're paying fifteen twenty
twenty five. Yeah, you gotta just for inflation. Yeah, it's
got to be like number of tickets sold.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Correct, correct, Mario Lopez will be right back.
