I had the privilege to be picked by Tom Hanks and played the 'washing machine lady" in the open credits with Tom Everett Scott. Great time!
Denise Payne is Tom hanks as great as he seems
We loved you lots and lots.
Did you pick the avacado color?
Hi Denise. That must have been cool. I remember that. The camera was inside the washing machine looking up at your faces in a two-shot, as Tom was explaining and trying to sell the washing machine to you. No audible dialog, just the opening music. How many takes?
I saw that, and you looked amazing!
It's one of those movies that if you see it's on, you can't turn it off. An underrated 90's musical gem.
And it's damn near impossible to watch it without quoting their lines. I like to catch people off guard by randomly saying something like, "wasn't that our fan?" or "shoulda dumped you in Pittsburgh" or "y'know what this is?...presidential flashcards?" ^_^
@@charleypatterson9956 Yup, I always call my money "presidential flashcards" LOL! :)
Gotta credit Rich Eisen for the term, but it's a certified "remote drop."
The BEST fake band EVER! Better than a lot of the REAL ONES!
A fake band that became a real band! They all can actually play!
Spinal Tap was the best fake band ever.
@@jamesmiller6217 Monkees is up there too
Infant Sorrow probably the best fake band ever and there’s actually no debate.
Touché
This movie made me realize how hilarious Steve Zahn is.
100%
I'm not with these guys..
I have a pig in the livestock pavilion
And I'm going to win that blue ribbon!
It's Frank Heffley. I can't believe he was in The Wonders before having children we all know today.
Well, take us there Skitch! 😆 lol
I'm a HS Band teacher, and one day we were asked to be quiet (Meeting in the room next door). I owned That Thing You Do forever, brought it from home, and played it for three of my classes. They ALL loved it and not only bought it, but bought shirts and started a "movement" in school. What had I done! I enjoyed sitting back and watching the kids love this amazing film.
Hugh, I look back and remember that one teacher (Mrs Pruitt) that really believed in my Art talent, she picked me to go to the governor's school that summer. I became an art director in Lynchburg Va.
we are currently watching it in varsity choir-I have a movie unit with this. I've had one of my choirs watch it for several years---a favorite movie of mine. And the kids are loving it!!
What a riot, Hugh Rechner!! 😂 Good for you!!
ROCK AN ROLL DUDE THAT’S RIDICULOUSLY COOL/ awesome!!
To hear Tom Everett Scott describe what he learned from Tom Hanks makes so much sense now. A few years ago, I saw Tom Everett Scott at the premiere of one of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies. It debuted at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway because they road tripped to Indy in the movie. I saw him walking from their green room building toward the red carpet area, and I screamed "I LOVE THE OH-NEEEEEEDERS!" He turned and waved, then actually waved me over to him. He certainly learned to give the fans what they want. He shook my hand, listened to me gush about that film for a few moments, and took a picture with me. Amazing.
The movie hit me powerfully. I was a budding rock musician back in the 60’s and the movie was a re-fantasizing of my teen years.
Bob Greaves Living With Wisdom I had the same experience and Eerie looked exactly like my home town where I grew up.
It was shot at the Orange Circle in Orange California and it almost rips me up every time I see it. I’ve gone in that Army Navy store many times and hung out down there in the 60’s. The movie captures the exact feeling of that period of music and style.
Giovanni Ribilsi - the Pete Best of the Wonders.
I'm a 63 y/o retired musician and I can attest how hard these guys had to work to look like they were a 'band' in such a short time. For me, Ethan Embry looked to be the most comfortable as the bass player and now I know why. Steve and Tom always looked like they were having fun, and I was glad to see at the end of the movie that Jonathan's character stayed in the music biz. This is one of my top 5 all time favorite movies.
My favorite drum song to play. Love captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters.
I believe it's Capn... Hahaha
I also like the song Lenny sang.
Not sure what it was called. Dance with Me? That was a good tune.
One of my favorite movies! The scene when Faye tells Jimmy: “Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight” gets me every time 😭
"Why couldn't you have dumped her in Pittsburgh?!"
Wow..always gets me. I know it too well. Wanted to just hug her...and really and truly kiss her.
Me too!!! 😭👏
It,'s OK. She kissed Tom eventually.
THAT SCENE! YES! LIVED IT 😥😥😥 What a waste of time...
This was 24 years ago?
Can' t believe.
Where is Liv Tyler? I loved her in that film.
" A record record record?"
it's not Rex Manning day...
Baxattax EVERY day is Rex Manning Day!!
liv is on the new 911 show
RIP Adam Schlesinger who recently passed from Covid-19. He wrote the title song "That Thing You do".
I wasn't aware of that...how sad... I wonder if "That Thing You Do" will be his most remembered song, and how he might have felt about that. (The song is GREAT by the way)
@@emc2614 He was a member of Fountains of Wayne, more known for Stacys mom and that sickass song of Too cool for school that sounds in the end of Scary Movie (Doofy scene)
@@emc2614 not quite lol he also wrote Stacey's Mom for his band Fountains of Wayne. That song was a pretty big hit on the top 40 charts
@@stephensporman8206 I hated that song thank God it didn't last long and fountains of wayne went with stacy's mom good riddance .
I thought Hanks did, too
Steve Zahn had most of the best lines in the movie. The one-liners still has me laughing out loud. But the entire cast was perfectly cast.
Lenny was my favorite character.
Steubenville!?
"I'm not with these guys. I've got a pig in competition. And we are going to win that blue ribbon"
The Shrimp Shack Shooters where he poses with the saxophone and blows in it just gets me every time!
The movie was so accurate. Especially the scene where they first heard their record on the radio. The guitars were perfect. When he was jumping up and down and his strap came off the guitar and fell to the floor his face was the perfect reaction. The list goes on.
I love the O-needers.
That's Wonders, as in I wonder what happened to the O-Needers.
hey that's the O-nedders...
Ellen Martin 😆😆
Oh my it’s the O’Neders!
I actually think that's captain geech and the shrimp shack shooters
In 10th Grade we played That Thing You Do in Jazz Band, I was on drums as Guy Patterson wearing The Shades 😎🤘
Wow "That thing you do" in the high school band. That's wild
@@chico4105 I even got my Band Teacher to ask me..,
Band Teacher: Hey Skitch how did we get here? Then I replied back as I put on The Shades..
Me: I led you here Sir.., for I am Spartacus...😎
@@zacharyjohnson6453
That.
Is.
Cool.
i will always laugh at “table 19 your pizzas ready”
ella forker my favorite line
Favorite!
Zahn has the best lines. “Who are your influences?” “Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters.”
My favorite line of his is when everyone is talking about the Hot Women in the crowd and he is like "Where was I, oh yeah, I was on stage playing guitar all night". I can totally relate to that. Everyone is hooked up and headed home by the time you stop playing.
@@marcusgaray7782 i do not recall this.
Steve Zahn is such a goof, I could hang out with him ALL DAY EVERY DAY......
He hasn't aged as well ... that's what laughing through life will get you.
His commentary on Joy Ride is hilarious, it was the polar opposite of the pretty bland Leelee Sobieski.
Jason Michael Gomez - Zahn is great in “Shattered Glass”
We went to the same high school. He was a year ahead of me.
Presssidential flash cards??
I love these guys. This movie was huge when I was a kid. It’s so good. I’ll be watching this Friday for sure.
i’m 100% watching the live viewing/commentary with the actors Friday!! for those that don’t know, on friday april 17th at 4pm PST / 7pm EST - can view the actors live commentary on the new The Wonders youtube channel. i’m pretty sure you’ll have to watch the actual movie via any other streaming source available, but the wonders youtube channel will have the actors live commentary. enjoy!
Pizza guy: You know what that is...….Lenny: "Presssidential flashcards....
VideoVoid TV I have the music soundtrack on CD. the music was amazing
Vh1 use to show it nonstop
VideoVoid TV I loved this movie as a kid .
im 26. i watched this movie for the first time with my dad when i was about 5. to this day we watch it regularly. there will never be a time that the song or the movie gets old.
So similar to me and my dad, I watched it with him when I was 5 or 6. Now I'm 29 and it's still and forever will be "our movie" and my favorite movie of all time.
Glad to see the oh needers together again. Bless Adam!
Apparently Steve Zahn doesn't age...
I disagree. They all have.
He's the only one who shaved
The quarantine has aged us all, but Steve's glasses don't help at all
@@hungrygarfield Exactly, I'm sure if he shaved he would a few greys also.
Ethan Embry aged enough for all of them...
I’ve watched “That Thing You Do” every year. Each was masterful, especially Liv Tyler🎸🥁🎤🎬
RIP Adam😢💔🎼
Every time Hanks does another movie through his company, we always think of this movie because he named his company Playtone Productions. It was great hearing and seeing these guys again and to be reminded that this movie was Tom's directorial debut.
In the movie Larry Crowne, Cedric the Entertainer did Goofballs line "we're being invaded"
And he wrote the story!
@@julieontology7214 I didn't remember that! Thanks. By the way, ontology seems to be a somewhat neglected field of philosophical inquiry which I feel is often overlooked especially when psychology is conflated with it, meaning that there seems to be so much more to our beingness than merely our psyche.
@@DavidLasoff Indeed!!!!
"I AM SPARTACUS!!!!"
Lol I love how everytime he says that, everybody reacts with a weird look.
First time I saw Steve was in The Wonders. I've been a fan since he kissed the cardboard lady :-)
@Jens of Denmark. He also said the funniest line in the movie. It went something like : "Here we are in this really nice trailer"... I wish I could remember the rest of it. 😊
A man in a really nice camper wants to put our song on the radio! Gimme a pen! I’m signing, you’re signing, we’re all signing!
He was really good in Out of Sight also, talk about a great cast for a movie.
Reality Bites, for me
That Thing You Do! is in my top five movies of all time.
Oh mine too...
This is WONDERful news, especially during the strange times we’re experiencing. Can’t wait to see this on UA-cam. Wish Tom Hanks would do a sequel to That Thing You Do.
I can’’t say enough how much I love his film and all the actors. Such a great piece of art. Thank you all for sharing this in this crazy time.
The color palette is amazing.
Def awesome, as a musician, makes me want to grow up in that era, simple but amazing
the scene where they all hear the song on the radio for the first time is still one of my all-time favorite scenes in any movie ever. such unbridled joy, so beautiful.
Absolutely love this movie & the entire soundtrack! What a great ensemble cast, and kudos to Tom Hanks for his vision. Playtone rocks!
This is one of my favorite Tom Hanks movies. I'm so delighted that these men genuinely enjoyed working together and put in so much work to make this movie a success.
Writer for the Rolling Stone: "He was not a real musician. I had no idea!"
Not surprised at all, lol.
Kidding aside... This movie is a favorite of mine, and it's really great that they got to know each other more as a band than a group of actors. Well played!
"That was WICKED!!" Hey wasn't that our fan?
"I just learned, like Dell Paxton isn't real". She's so articulate, well what do you expect from Rolling Stone reporter today right?
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Yeah, they should have hired Martha Quinn to do this interview. I doubt that this kid was even born when this movie came out.
Unfortunately that my shitty generation! But she was probably born in 1990. She not that young lmao
But who knew he was a reference to Bill Paxton? In what context? Is Bill actually a black Jazz pianist and I never knew it?
R.S. should've given this to a better, more professional interviewer! Such a cool moment, yet, she was barely going through the motions. 😢 Thankfully, the guys didn't need her, and, they shared those stories. 🙂🎶
I was smiling for this entire interview. 1997 was a time where i was really discovering what music i enjoyed as a teenager. Plus I had just started learning guitar. All I wanted was an electric guitar and loved the look of Lenny's. I had just really gotten into early Beatles, so when this movie came out I was obsessed. I have a lot of fond memories of this movie, it honestly really helped in my discovery of music. I never get tired of it and I love it every time I watch it.
I think Lenny played a cheap Danelectro in their early scenes, and they upgraded once the band took off.
Favorite scene is the one that depicts the hysteria that ensued after Fay heard their song for the first time on the radio. Linda Ronstadt tells the story of hearing "Different Drum" for the first time while she and the Stone Poneys were pushing their car that had broken down.
Different Drum was written by Michael Nesmith of the Monkees. Nesmith offered the song to the Monkees but the producers of the TV show turned it down.
I'm with you, Lorraine. This was my favorite scene as well.
Same. That scene gives me an adrenaline rush and goosebumps at the same time. Every. Single. Time.
Good for you ... mine, too. As a musician, I can say that THAT (hearing your song on the radio) is a big deal.
@@Tonetwisters That's nice.
My god did Steve even age??? It’s nice to see they are all still alive and reuniting. Was a good movie from the 90’s ❤️from🇨🇦
My wife and I love movie, it's our story! It's how we met, except I was the bass player, not the drummer who befriended the lead singer's girlfriend. Never had it as big as the Wonders but we have been married for 20 years this Wednesday and have two children. Did I mention that we are both from Erie Pennsylvania? True! Art imitating life. Thank you Tom Hanks, thank you wonders, Adam rest in peace!
Erie, P.A. that is.
The best band that never existed! That thing you do single is awesome!
I just love "That Thing You Do"! I remember I was working at a video store and I played it so much that my boss made me play a different movie. I just watched the movie tonight and it is just as "Wonder"ful as the first time I watched it. You guys where great together would love to see a sequel!
Love this movie !! I watch it every time it's on. Steve Zahn is hysterical !
They really have to reunite, for Adam, that would be the ultimate tribute to not only him but the fans!! We want the Oneders!!
This is so awesome! coincidently, I recently purchased the Playtone record that I've been debating to buy for a long time. "The Record Record!" R.I.P. Adam.
Steve Zahn looks so good for his age. I was 17 when this movie came out. I remember going to the movie theatre and being totally mesmerized at how beautiful Liv Tyler looked in her role. 😍
Yes she definitely did especially the dress she wore at the second to last scene in the movie where they went on tv. Her white satin dress was absolutely gorgeous! When Guy said good lord Faye you look gorgeous he was right she absolutely did.
Man that’s some KILLER drumming for a guy who learned the instrument for the film. Wow. I think it’s a very special drum part on that song.
Such a great, great, optimistic and happy movie to return to in these pretty dark times. But I’ve done that so many times over the years - a great pick-me-up with such a great spirit to it. The love that went into making it, the faithful recreation of the period, the look, the music. More like this!
The movie was great, the songs were very catchy, young new stars!
I still love that movie and the songs. I think all these guys were incredible.
Completely agree! It is easily one of my all-time favorite movies!
I guess all the people who disliked this were fans of the band when they had the wolfman
Scott Pell
Or they are the fans of "The echoes!" Lmao.
AWESOME GUYS... 😎😎 ITS SO GREAT THAT YOU ARE FRIENDS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
Jonathan, Steve, Ethan, and Tom…
Gentlemen, I'm a classically trained musician who composes, arranges, and also writes popular songs, and I loved all of you in THAT THING YOU DO. You all helped Tom Hanks hold a mirror up to America as he looked back to a musically explosive time when life here seemed simpler, slower, and fonder, if not always better. As an American who grew up during the Beatle era, can I thank you and him enough?
If I could offer a weird suggestion, because I know you had to lip sync for the film and 'act musical' to a prerecorded track, it would be this: For the four of you to reunite sometime, practice up for a while, and then record YOURSELVES doing all the playing and singing on a new studio recording of "That Thing You Do." There's a part of me that wants to hear actors actually get to be full-fledged musicians (witness The Monkees' "Justus"), and such a new recording wouldn't infringe at all now on the vitality of Adam's original recording, plus you could create the record as a posthumous tribute to him. Perhaps Tom Hanks could be persuaded to actually release this 'done by the real guys' new recording on the PlayTone label, which I remember he actually created as a real-life business entity at one time, if it still exists.
Like Tom doing his Forrest Gump shtick for the fans, this would be one of those things actors do not for their serious career advancement, but as a friendly nod for those who appreciate their work and wish them well. And that I do!
Stay healthy and take care, all of you, OK?

Steve played guitar, and could play the lead parts. And he wanted to play on the soundtrack. But like many good singers that lip sync to professional singers - another guitarist played those parts.
24 years ago, my son and I were looking for a movie to go to during a soccer tournament. We chose a Steven Segal movie called 'The Glimmer Man'. After 5 minutes and after Segal's character off'd some guy using a credit card, we were outta there looking for another movie in the multiplex. I saw a poster for 'That Thing You Do' and thought it sounded interesting. 2 hours later, I exited after seeing one of the most fun, engaging movies I've ever watched, and, to this day, that opinion has never changed. My favorite scene has always been their reaction in Guy's father's appliance store after they heard their song on the radio for the first time. The joy they all were experiencing was pure magic.
My guess is I've watch TTYD probably 40 times since then, and it never gets old. My son .....well not so much. Sure great to see all these guys again. Will be watching Friday night.
Much better movie than Glimmer Man.
I pulled my DVD out to watch again after hearing of Adam’s passing. What a talent. But how great to see you four guys together yucking it up. I’ll tell you who deserved an Oscar ... the casting director! Your ‘characters’ are so much a part of your real personalities its a little disarming to watch you interact.
Adam who?
@@Harrier_DuBois Adam Schlesinger. He was the writer of the song "That Thing You Do," and was the bass player for the Fountains of Wayne. He passed away a couple of weeks ago from COVID-19.
@@torg3481 Wow, I hadn't heard that news... Such a shock.
As a musician and a movie lover, it doesn't get better than this. Tom Hanks CRUSHED it on this movie, not only as the manager, but as the director, writer of the story, script and even a few tracks! This is a perfect film in my interpretation - I love the good natured humor and real life lessons it presents over the backdrop of the excitement of a young band rising to fame. These guys are all so likable. We totally covered the theme song in my basement band so many times and did it live for audiences too - a classic!
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS. 'That Thing You Do' is my favorite movie of all time
One of my all time favs...love everything about this picture...can't wait for Friday!
Props also to Scott Rogness and the late Rick Elijas, who wrote several other great songs for the film.
Rick Elias died 1 year and 1 day before Adam. I knew Rick well from us both being involved in the Christian music industry. He introduced me to Adam in Nashville in 2013 and we then kept in touch, a bit, via social media. Incredible guy. And funny as all get out! Rick and Scott wrote 5 songs that were used in the film including "I Need You" the alternate version of That Thing You Do and "Dance With me Tonight", "All My Only Dreams" and "She Knows It." Also, Rick had a cameo as a guitarist in the Playtone band who is very tall and had a modified pompadour.
I’m a new fan of this movie and I absolutely enjoy watching it! The song is unforgettable and the story is so heartfelt. I’m glad to know these guys are still great friends after all these years. Thank you for That Thing You Do!
Imagine if they did a 25 years later retrospective kind of style documentary film. Where their characters talk about what’s happened in the last 25-35 years. Did anyone go to Woodstock or someone opened a car dealership. You know stuff like that. Lots of tongue in cheek fun. Like Mr White is shown talking about them in 1985 and is very blunt about what happened as only he can be an then has since passed away years ago and man, WoW. I think a film like that would put butts in the seats. Then they finish with a Beach Boys style reunion show and just ...yeah.
Patrick Caswell I would definitely watch that!
Dude, you nailed it. I would love to see that movie!
This is a fantastic idea! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, did I mention that this was a fantastic idea? Yes! Come on Tom Hanks, give us Wanderers fans a sequel!
They tell you what happened at the end of the film.
Omg this is exactly what I needed
Your reunion watch party was AWESOME--THANK YOU WONDERS!! 🎤🎸🥁😎
This seriously just made my day. I LOVE THIS!! That Thing You Do remains as one of my ALL TIME favorite movies.
I must have watched TTYD 100 times by now; pitch-perfect recreation American music making an abrupt transition from pre-Beatlemania to the day everyone decided to start a band after hearing 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'. I could go on but I'll stop at that I think it's awesome the actors have such great memories of making the film and as a fan, I'll say nice job, guys. It's a joy to watch.
Sorry just can't help but realise that thing you do has the same initials as the thousand year door
I love this movie.k thought this interview was sweet. You guys are great as people and actors. "Wonder"ful. Thank you RS.
LOVE this movie! I dance and sing my heart out when I hear *That Thing You Do* play in the grocery store. ❤️
This is a dream come true! Seeing all four of these wonderful men back together again, especially in honor of Adam... I watch this move, no kidding three to four times a week, and I never get sick of it, I could only imagine how it would have been watching it backstage, after listening to this interview! Tom, love all of your movies and I'm Sorry, no I mean I'm Sorry the series LOL, but Guy Patterson was the bomb... It amazes me how you twirled that drum stick, and played those drums in the little time you had to learn... You are a natural my dear, those drum sticks belong in those gorgeous hands....Steve, you always make me laugh, will never stop! Johnathon, sexy as hell, but still love you as Jimmy, and the way you stand playing the gutair LOL! Ethan, I really wish you had a real name in the movie, the quiet not so innocent one, you did rock that bass!! LOVE LOVE LOVE all of you together, my favorite movie ever, and the soundtrack is blasting in my car always!! Adam is looking down from heaven, smiling and proud of the four of you.... Congratulations all of you, for a job well done, would be awesome to have a sequel of your new lives! And to my other Tom, You my dear, are unbelievable as a director, friend, boss, actor from what I have heard from these fine gentlemen... LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
Wait just a minute. A journalist for Rolling Stone went for years not know that Del Paxton wasn't a real jazz legend?
She's trying to figure out why she's interviewing actors about a movie and not musicians about their band. Clear from the assumption about character Del Paxton she thought the Wonders were really the One-ders...I can't even keep the ruse straight. lol.
this makes me so happy!
but RIP adam
I just rewatched this movie & it just makes you Happy & want to dance.
Thanks guys for sharing and being a part of a unforgettable and wonderful movie! Destin to be a classic movie and soundtrack! The Wonders (Oneders) live on! A number one with a bullet in my book!
God dang I needed this. Thank you, Oh-Needers.
At first I was like “SHUT UP JIMMY, you quit and broke up the band you egotistical jerkface.” Turns out he was just acting and his name is Johnathan
Loved, loved, loved this movie!!!!!
The guys look great. I have this DVD and will be playing it soon. THANKS
This was a tragically underrated movie - it encapsulated that time period perfectly and it uniquely showed how a single great song could make a band famous and enduringly memorable - think about all the "one-hit wonder" songs you know. It was perfectly cast from the band to the Patterson family and of course, Tom Hanks as the opportunistic, but fundamentally good music executive. My favorite scene might be in the studio near the end as the band disintegrates, and Hanks says to Thomas Everett Scott's character that their former manager was right about him when he said he was smart; he then quips "Lenny is the clown, Jimmy is the talent, but you are the smart one..."
The "dun dun dun" song that Steve references at 11:32 sounds like "Loving You Lots and Lots" from that AMAZING soundtrack.
I was hoping for "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder. I'd even take "Wild Wild West" by Will Smith. 😆
This is so cool. Thanks for putting this together.
This is among my favorite movies! Whenever Casino, Pretty Woman, Godfather, Top Gun, Blazing Saddles or That Thing You Do is on, I'm watching it. Thank you TB, now one of life little mystery is over..it's Tobias.
I love they got a woman that doesn’t understand humor to interview them.
She did not smile one single time. Lol. And I was so happy to watch these stories.
Maybe she was trying to be professional.
She did make a funny joke at the beginning about them seeing her bedroom. She may’ve been just nervous
It's great to see the guys together here. I really haven't checked up on what they're all doing recently, and I haven't finished the video yet. Maybe they'll go into that. At least it's easy to keep up with entertainers on Wikipedia if "one" "wonders"! 😂
I actually did a recent multitrack of That Thing You Do with my younger daughter (she's 26) on our online singing app. We don't do the instruments, just the vocals. She and I watched That Thing You Do--- I have no idea how many times! Now I'm working on Dance With Me Tonight.
I have music training, including vocal ensemble training, but always with sheet music. Without it, I had a hard time learning the backup vocals for That Thing You Do, but now I know them by heart. Fortunately the backups in Dance With Me Tonight are a bit easier. I actually like that song best out of all the other songs in the film.
I'm the old Grandma still singing rock and roll 😂😂😂. Great job, guys, and Tom Hanks (on writing AND directing it!) and everyone on production and in the cast. It's still a SUPER movie!!✨🌟✨🎶
My sister and I are still in love with this movie. Growing up, we watched it ALL the time. Best sound track. Takes us back to our childhood!
Hey, Steve Zahn! You need to write a beauty book. You look exactly the same!
the extended version is AWESOME
Agreed.
So crazy...I'm literally watching That Thing You Do right now. I've only watched it 20 times!❤
THANK YOU, ETHAN EMBRY, FOR DAWNING THAT IMPORTANT "MEDICARE FOR ALL" T-SHIRT! Great to see the guys together. Zahn hasn't aged a day!
These guys were so good in this movie, you almost forget that Charlize Theron was in it.
Darrin Baker I never forgot.
Worlds most beautiful woman (back then).
Darrin Baker who? I forgot.
@@andrewdean9934 Guy's girlfriend Tina who left him for a dentist
Well, she had such a small part and ran off with the dentist within the first ten minutes of the movie. I’d like to see the other scenes Jonathan was talking about? Evidently she had a bigger part, it it was trimmed out by the editor. They cut so much of her out of the movie that if she wasn’t so stunningly beautiful, I doubt anyone would remember her because she had almost zero to do with the plot.
If you took all of her scenes that made the final cut out, the story would be the same. Her character had no impact on Guy or Faye or anyone for that matter.
Guy didn’t even seem that crushed that she dumped him for her dentist, but I guess that signing a record deal with a major label and having your song climb the Billboard Chart as you tour America would be quite distracting from a very short romance that didn’t work out. Especially when you were being doted on by Faye while on tour.
DUDE! Sequel as an older band in the 90s. That would be awesome.
This is the best feel-good movie of all time. I could watch it just about every day.
This is one of my favorite movies ever and it makes me so happy to see these guys together again!
Will Liv Tyler be on too? She was the best!
Yes! Check the article link above...
Yes, the 5th Oneder or Wonder.

I literally just watched my dvd this past Saturday for the millionth time!. Every few weeks, I'll either UA-cam the video...which most times leads to watching the movie.
I'm a total music aficionado with penchant for music based movies. The Wonders are one of my most favorite bands that never was.
From the soundtrack to the attention to detail of the set, costumes, distinct characters and dialog. Perfection!
Your the white FiveHearbeats.
This is really a joyful interview. Authentic. And they didn’t talk over each other. Great stuff.
The tattoo on her right arm looks like a loose thread from her sleeve and it's driving me nuts. Lol. Also, her uninterested, millennial interview style just reminds me of how far south journalism has gone since this movie released.
I was thinking the same thing, on both counts! That tattoo was annoying. As well as her lame, uninformed and uninterested attitude. She should get a different job. Thankfully, the guys didn't need her participation -- they told their stories and did just great.
Yeah, it's weird. You think: "there isn't anyone better they could have hired?"
Karen 1. Everyone has their own styles. 2. She might read the comment.
@@The_Other_Ghost Exactly. As if any of these commenters could do better. She was focused, she listened, she spoke well, and clearly. Would surely prefer her over some giddy oh look at me -look-who-im- interviewing style!
She's disarmingly attractive, and very Rolling Stone cool. But she did not ask the question a guy would like to hear: "What was it like acting opposite Liv Tyler? And kissing her?"
I like how she does not care and did the interview with her bed in the background lol
When the movie came out I had my kids for a week and had arranged to meet my Mom (who lived 120 miles away) half way to get together and see the movie. It was a great day. Seeing the movie on TV always reminds me of that day.
Great Interviews!! Thank you :)
Love this film! Each band member is a different version of Tom Hanks.
