“Hoʻohaʻahaʻa!” Ua hauʻoli wau i ka nānā ʻana a me ka nānā ʻana i ka moʻolelo o ka mea pepehi kanaka pepehi kanaka Smashmouth i ka pôpeku ʻO ka wā e hiki mai ana a ʻĀpana Hoʻopau 2 Ua hele au i nā mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni ma hope o ka gridiron gorehound. ʻO ke kamaʻilio ʻana me Sophia Cacciola lāua ʻo Michael J. Epstein i hāʻawi i ka ʻike hou aʻe i kēlā ʻano manaʻo kiʻekiʻe pālua a laila kekahi.

He aha kou ʻano ma ke ʻano he mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni?

Ua ulu mākou i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni aloha a me ka hana ʻana i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni me kā mākou mau hoaaloha ma nā camcorders VHS, akā ua hoʻololi i kā mākou manaʻo i ke mele. Ua hana pū mākou me nā alakaʻi ʻē aʻe e hana i nā wikiō mele no kā mākou mau pūʻulu, a ua lanakila maikaʻi! Ua loaʻa i ka hui a Michael, The Motion Sick, ka wikiō mele no kā lākou mele "30 Lives" ma nā pūnaewele MTV liʻiliʻi, a ua hoʻopau ʻia i nā pāʻani Hula Hula Revolution. ʻO ka hui a Sophia, Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling's wikiō no “Episode 1 – Arrival,” i hōʻike ʻia ma TIME ma ke ʻano he wikiō maikaʻi loa o ka makahiki. 

Ua ʻike mākou ua makemake mākou e hana i nā wikiō hou aʻe, no laila ua kūʻai wale mākou i nā kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi liʻiliʻi a lele i loko. 

He aha ka mea hoʻoikaika no The Once And Future Smash and End Zone 2? ʻO wai ka mea i hele mua?

Pīhoihoi mākou i ka pahū ʻana o ka moʻomeheu fandom weliweli. ʻAʻole makemake nui mākou i ka hele ʻana i nā ʻaha kūkā a i ʻole ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā pūlima, akā manaʻo mākou aia kahi kaiāulu kupanaha a puni ia mea. Aia nō nā ʻano politika hoihoi e pili ana i ka pilina ma waena o nā mea keaka. Ua lohe mākou i nā moʻolelo e pili ana i nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa e pili ana i ka mea nāna i hoʻokani i nā hana huna a paʻakikī ke hōʻoia ʻia i kekahi mau kiʻiʻoniʻoni a manaʻo ʻia he wahi moʻolelo hoihoi ia i loko o ka honua convention.

Ua kamaʻilio ʻo Michael me kā mākou hoa Neal Jones, ka mea i hana i ka Without Your Head Podcast no ka manawa lōʻihi a ua nīnauele e pili ana i nā poʻe āpau i ka weliweli. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Neal, ua hoʻopiʻi kekahi o kāna mau malihini i ka wā i hoʻolaha ai ʻo ia i kahi malihini e hiki mai ana no ka mea ʻaʻole kūʻē lākou i ka lehulehu e pili ana i ka mea e pono ai ka hōʻaiʻē no ka hana masked a lāua i pāʻani ai. Ua haʻi ʻo Michael iā Neal he manaʻo moʻolelo kāna no ka moʻolelo e like me ia akā ʻaʻohe ona manaʻo e kākau ia mea no ka mea e pili ana i ke komo ʻana i kahi ʻaha kūkā a me nā mea hana kumu kūʻai.

Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Neal me kāna mau hoaaloha ma ka hui ʻo Mad Monster Party, a ua ʻae koke ʻo ia e ʻae iā Neal e kiʻiʻoniʻoni ma laila. Noʻonoʻo ʻo Neal lāua ʻo Michael i ka mea a lākou e makemake ai e hoʻolei i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, a ʻo nā kānaka ʻelua i komo i ka manaʻo ʻo Bill Weeden lāua ʻo Michael St. Michaels. Me ka ʻole o ka palapala, ua nīnau mākou iā lāua inā makemake lākou i ka manaʻo a me ka pana ʻana iā Mad Monster. ʻO kēia i ka hopena o Iulai 2019. Ua ʻike mākou e pono mākou e pana iā Mad Monster i Pepeluali 2020, no laila ua iho ʻo Michael i ke kākau ʻana i ka palapala me ka hikiwawe loa a hoʻomaka ʻo Neal e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i kāna mau malihini mua e makemake e komo i loko. . 

Ua ʻike nō hoʻi mākou e pana mākou i ka End Zone 2 ma mua o ka ʻaha kūkā i loaʻa iā mākou nā mea hoʻomaha a me nā mea ʻē aʻe no ka hoʻolālā hana, no laila ua hoʻolālā mākou no ka hana ʻana ma Dekemaba 2019. Ua kākau mākou i kahi outline no End Zone 2 a laila lawe mai i kā mākou hoa ʻo Brian W. Smith e kākau i kahi kiʻi mua o ka palapala maoli. Ua loaʻa iā mākou i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ʻOkakopa a pana i ka End Zone 2 i hoʻokahi pule i Dekemaba 2019. 

Pehea ʻoe i hiki mai ai me Smash-Mouth a me kāna hoʻolālā / ʻaoʻao ma ke ʻano he ʻano slasher? E komo pū ana me kāna puʻuwai puʻupuʻu o "Touchdown!"?

Ua ʻike mākou makemake mākou e hana i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, akā ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike he aha ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni i loko o ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni. Makemake mākou i kahi ʻano manaʻo kiʻiʻoniʻoni i hiki ke hoʻoikaika i ka hypothetically i nā kiʻi slasher mua. Ua ʻike mākou makemake mākou i kahi mea ma luna o ke ʻano o ka nānā a me ke ʻano. 

Ua noʻonoʻo mākou i nā inoa me nā huaʻōlelo e like me "slash" a "pepehi" i loko o ia mau mea, a ʻōlelo ʻo Sophia, "Smash-Mouth" me ka ʻakaʻaka. Ua ʻakaʻaka mākou a laila manaʻo mākou he inoa ʻakaʻaka, a hāʻawi pū kekahi i kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻike o ka helehelena haki. No laila, ua nānā mākou i ke kumu o ka huaʻōlelo a ʻike mākou ua pili ia i ka pāʻani pīpeku paʻakikī a hakakā - ka pōpeku smash-mouth! ʻO nā ʻano a pau o ka hau hau mai laila mai - ka ʻāʻī haʻihaʻi, ka mea pāʻani pôpeku, "hoʻohaʻahaʻa!"

ʻAʻole mākou makemake i ka pôpeku a i ʻole ka ʻike nui e pili ana i ka pôpeku, akā ua hana mākou i nā noiʻi he nui e pili ana i ka mōʻaukala o nā lako pôpeku a me nā lole. Ua aloha mākou i ke ʻano ʻili a ua hana mākou i ka moʻolelo e pili ana i kēlā. Makemake mākou e lilo ʻo End Zone 2 i kiʻiʻoniʻoni "hou" i ka makahiki 1970 akā manaʻo mākou ua hiki ke hoʻonohonoho ʻia ʻo End Zone 1 i kahi manawa i hoʻohana ʻia ai nā mahiole ʻili. Ua aʻo mākou ua haʻalele ʻia lākou ma ka ʻoihana ma kahi o 1950, akā manaʻo mākou e hoʻohana paha kahi kula kiʻekiʻe liʻiliʻi iā lākou ma mua o kēlā, a ua hoʻoholo mākou hiki iā mākou ke hoʻonohonoho i ka End Zone 1 i ka makahiki 1955 a hana i kēlā 15 mau makahiki ma mua o End Zone 2 i ka manawa. Ua hui pū mākou i ka lole kahiko a me ka mahiole mai eBay a me Etsy!

Ua ʻae kēia iā mākou e haʻalele i ka hoʻolei ʻana i nā poʻe o ke kula kiʻekiʻe i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni a nānā i ke ʻano o ka trauma ola i loaʻa i nā slasher "mau kaikamahine hope" i nā sequels. Hāʻawi pū ʻo ia iā Smash-Mouth i kahi ʻano ethereal, ma waho o kāna manawa. Ke hoʻomau nei ka wā i hala iā lākou a pau. 

No ka mask, laki loa mākou i hiki ke lawe mai i ka mea pena kiʻi FX ʻo Joe Castro. Ua hana pū mākou me ia e noʻonoʻo pono i ke ʻano o ka maskic i hana ʻia i ka hopena o 60s. Pono ka manaʻo e ola ana akā ʻaʻole maoli ka motility. Ua hana ʻo Joe i nā manaʻo he nui a hoʻāʻo i nā ʻano mea like ʻole ma mua o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka mask kūpono, ʻo ia ka mea i ola ai ke ʻano. 

Ua hoʻoikaika ʻia paha kekahi mea e kāu ʻike ponoʻī ma nā ʻaha hoʻoweliweli?

Ua hoʻāʻo maoli ʻo Michael e hopu i nā ʻike hui ʻino a ʻakaʻaka e like me ka hiki iā ia ma ka palapala. Ua makemake mākou i ka mea holoʻokoʻa i kamaʻāina i ka poʻe hele ʻaha kūkā. Ua hoʻohana pū mākou i nā manawa kūpono i ka ʻaha kūkā i kū mai. No ka laʻana, ʻaʻole i loko o ka palapala ka hoʻokūkū lole no ka mea ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike. Ua ʻike mākou e hoʻokipa ana ko mākou hoa ʻo James Balsamo, a ua noi mākou iā ia inā hiki iā mākou ke komo iā AJ me ka ʻaʻahu ʻana i ka Smash-Mouth a e nalo ʻino ʻia ʻo ia. ʻO ia wale nō kā mākou hāʻawi iā James.

E like me kāu e ʻike ai ma ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, hele ʻo James REALLY i ke kūlanakauhale ma luna o ka ʻilihune AJ ʻO ka mea, ʻaʻohe manaʻo o ka lehulehu nui no kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni, a manaʻo maoli lākou ua hoʻoweliweli ʻo James iā ia. Nui ka poʻe i hele iā James ma hope e uē iā ia a iā AJ ma hope e hōʻoluʻolu iā ia. Pono mākou e wehewehe ʻaʻole maoli ia. 

He aha ke ʻano o ka hoʻolei ʻana?

No ka The Once and Future Smash, ua hoʻolei koke mākou iā Michael a me Bill, no laila ua kākau maoli ʻia ka palapala me ka noʻonoʻo. Ua hoʻolālā mua mākou me kā mākou hoaaloha, ʻo AJ Cutler, nona ka wāwae prosthetic, e hoʻokomo iā ia i kahi kiʻi weliweli i kekahi lā a ʻoki i kona wāwae. Ua manaʻo weliweli ʻo Michael i ka hoʻokani ʻana o AJ i ka End Zone 2, kahi i ʻoki ʻia ai kona wāwae, a laila pāʻani i ke keiki a ka mea hana keaka i nalowale kona wāwae ma ke ʻano kānalua i pili paha i ka hana koʻikoʻi o kona makuakāne. . 

Ua ʻike mākou he kālena a he ʻakaʻaka ʻo AJ, akā ʻaʻohe ona ʻike hana hana. Ua kamaʻilio mākou me ia a ua hoʻoholo mākou e lawe i kahi pilikia a hilinaʻi iā ia no nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻelua, ʻoi aku ka pilikia no ka mea ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka mea koho a me ka puʻuwai o The Once and Future Smash. Ua manaʻo mākou e hoʻolilo nui mākou i ka manawa a me ka ikaika e alakaʻi iā ia e kiʻi i nā hana a mākou i makemake ai, akā maoli maoli nō ʻo ia i nā hana ʻelua, a hoʻomākaukau ʻo ia a lawe mai i nā mea āpau a mākou e makemake ai, no laila ʻaʻole pono mākou e hana. kuhikuhi nui i kana hana. Ua manaʻo maoli ʻo Bill lāua ʻo Michael e like me AJ i ʻaihue i kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona!

No End Zone 2, ua ʻike mākou e pana mākou i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni i loko o ka manawa pōkole loa - ua ʻike ʻia he ʻeono lā me hoʻokahi lā koho. Ua ʻike nō hoʻi mākou makemake mākou e loaʻa nā manawa lōʻihi loa e hoʻohālikelike i ke ʻano i kēlā manawa. I ka makahiki 1970, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hāʻawi i ka waihona kiʻiʻoniʻoni e hana i nā ʻano uhi like ʻole. Hoʻolālā mākou i ka pana ʻana a puni ka hoʻolimalima hale ma Lake Arrowhead me nā poʻe a pau e noho ana ma ke kahua. No laila, makemake mākou i nā mea keaka i hoʻomaopopo i ka papahana a ua maikaʻi me ka lewa haʻahaʻa, ʻano ʻohana ma kahi hoʻonohonoho kahi e kū ai nā mea a pau i nā wahi a lākou e hiki ai me nā mea e like me ka kuke ʻana a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe. ʻO nā mea a pau e pili ana i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni (me mākou pū kekahi) i hōʻaiʻē ʻia ma lalo o kahi pseudonym, no laila ua koi ʻia kahi kūʻai piha i ka papahana e makemake ai e lilo i ʻāpana.  

Kiola maoli mākou mai nā hoaaloha a me nā hoaaloha o nā hoaaloha ma mua o ka hoʻohana ʻana i kekahi ʻano kaʻina hoʻokolokolo. He nani nā mea hoʻokani a ʻike i kā lākou laina i loko a i waho, no laila hiki iā mākou ke holo i kēia mau hiʻohiʻona 6+ mau minuke me ka ʻoki ʻole. 

He aha ke ʻano o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻana ma kahi ʻaha kūkā?

Paʻakikī loa! Ua leo nui a haunaele, a ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomalu i kekahi mea. Ua ʻae ʻia mākou e pana, akā ʻoiaʻiʻo, he hui hoʻoikaika maoli ia, a ua hoʻāʻo mākou e hōʻemi i ka hoʻopilikia ʻana o mākou i nā mea āpau a puni mākou a ma ka ʻaha kūkā. ʻO ka poʻe ma Mad Monster Party a me ka hōkele he poʻe koa loa iā mākou! Ua hoʻāʻo maoli lākou e hāʻawi iā mākou i nā mea a mākou e pono ai a kākoʻo i ka hana.

ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke lele i ka poʻe i North Carolina no nā hana liʻiliʻi, no laila ua hoʻolei mākou i ka hapa nui o nā kuleana liʻiliʻi ma ka ʻaha kūkā. He mea hoihoi kēia no ka mea i kekahi manawa he poʻe a mākou i ʻike ai a i ʻole poʻe i pili i ka holo ʻana i ka hōʻike, a i nā manawa ʻē aʻe, ʻoi aku hoʻi me nā keiki, he ʻano hele wale nō ia i luna o nā poʻe me ka ʻōlelo ʻana, "ʻAe, makemake ʻoe e komo i loko. he kiʻiʻoniʻoni?” 

I ke kākau ʻana i ka palapala, ua hoʻāʻo pū ʻo Michael e hōʻemi i ka ʻāpana i hana ʻia ma ka papahele a ma ka ʻaha kūkā ma ka laulā. Ua ʻike mākou e hiki iā mākou ke komo iā Bill a me Michael no ka manawa pōkole, no laila, ʻo nā mea a pau e lawe iā mākou i nā kiʻi ʻē aʻe i hiki iā mākou ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ma kahi ʻē aʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka manawa e hoʻoponopono i nā mea me nā hiʻohiʻona a mākou e pono ai ma ka ʻaha kūkā. 

ʻOlokaʻa loa mākou me nā kuʻi. Ua ʻoki ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi ʻole i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hana o nā clowns ma mua o ka mea i manaʻo ʻia!

I ka manawa hea i paʻi ʻia ai kēlā me kēia papahana, a ma ke ʻano he aha? He aha ka mea i hana i ke ʻano retro/vibe o End Zone 2?

Ua kiʻi ʻia ʻo End Zone 2 i Dekemaba 2019, a ua paʻi ʻia ka ʻāpana hui o The Once and Future Smash i Pepeluali 2020. Ma hope o ka ʻaha kūkā, ua nui ka lohi a me ka noʻonoʻo hou ʻana ma muli o COVID. Ua hoʻopau mākou i ka The Once and Future Smash i ke kauwela o 2022.

I mea e manaʻo ai ʻo End Zone 2 i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e like me ka hiki, ma mua o ka hana akahele ʻana o Smash-Mouth, ua hoʻohana nui ʻo Sophia i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā lole vintage a me ka hoʻoholo ʻana i nā kapa lole, ke ʻano, a me ka hoʻolālā hana. Ua ʻimi mākou i kahi kūpono e kūlike me ke au a me ke ʻano pū kekahi.

Ua noi mākou i ka mea hoʻokani e aʻo i kahi ʻano hana kikoʻī loa mai nā makahiki he 70 no ka mea makemake maoli mākou e loaʻa nā hana ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka ikaika, ʻoiai inā he mea lapuwale ke kūlana o ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni. ʻAʻole mākou i makemake e lawe i ka ʻōlelo alelo i kekahi o End Zone 2. Ua hoʻouna mākou i nā kuhikuhi hana weliweli e like me The Texas Chain Saw Massacre a me Black Christmas, akā ua noi pū mākou i ka mea hoʻolele e nānā i nā makahiki 70. nā hana kūlohelohe i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni Altman a me Cassavetes. Ua kuhikuhi mākou i 3 Wahine, He Wahine Ma lalo o ka Manaʻo, The Long Goodbye, a me Klute ma ke ʻano he laʻana o kā mākou e ʻimi nei. 

No nā mea ʻenehana, ua hana mākou i nā noiʻi he nui e pili ana i ke ʻano o ke kāmela a me ka waihona kiʻiʻoniʻoni i hoʻohana ʻia no kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o kēia ʻano. Ua noʻonoʻo mākou e kūʻai maoli i ka pahupaʻikiʻi kikoʻī a me nā mea kokoke loa e pana i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, akā ma hope o ke kumu kūʻai ʻana, ʻike mākou pono mākou e pana kikohoʻe. ʻO Sophia ka mea kiʻi kiʻiʻoniʻoni no End Zone 2. Ua koho ʻo ia i ka BlackMagic Pocket 4K no ka mea he ākea ākea ākea e kiʻi i kahi kiʻi kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me kahi mea ʻike liʻiliʻi e pili kokoke ana i kahi kiʻi 16mm ma mua o nā kiʻi kiʻiʻoniʻoni. Ua kūʻai mākou i ka nui o nā lens 16mm vintage a ua hana i kahi pana hoʻāʻo, akā ua koho hope e kūʻai i kahi DZO Parfocal Zoom. ʻAʻole i loaʻa ka lens no ke kūʻai ʻana ma mua o hoʻokahi pule ma mua o ka pana ʻana. Mahalo, ua hiki mākou i New York a ua hiki iā mākou ke kiʻi maoli i ka lens mai ka lumi hōʻike. 

I ka wā e pana ana, ua kaupalena ʻia ʻo Sophia i ka hoʻonui lima e hopu i nā hemahema o ka hana pahupaʻikiʻi haʻahaʻa o ka wā. ʻAʻole mākou i makemake e pana ʻino ʻia kekahi mea, akā makemake mākou e hana i nā ʻano mea pale a me nā palena i loaʻa i nā mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni i kēlā manawa. No ka hana ʻana i kahi hiʻohiʻona kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ua hoʻohana pū ʻo Sophia i nā kānana Black Promist ikaika e hoʻonui i ka ʻālohilohi a me ka pua o nā kukui a me nā mea koʻikoʻi i ke kiʻi.

No ka leka, ua kūʻai mākou i kahi ʻano like ʻole o nā ʻeke kiʻi kiʻiʻoniʻoni kiʻiʻoniʻoni a hoʻoholo i ka hoʻohui ʻana i kā mākou mau kīʻaha me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻāpana he nui. ʻAʻohe looping a ʻaʻohe hopena plugin maʻalahi e hana no mākou. I ka hoʻoponopono ʻana, ua wāwahi ʻo Michael i ke ʻano o ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni a hoʻoholo i kahi i pau ai nā mele a me nā mea i pohō ʻia. Hoʻokomo ʻo ia i nā kīʻaha like ʻole ma nā pahu like ʻole a hoʻohui i nā pōʻino i nā wēlau o nā mele a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe i ʻoki ʻia. Ua kūkulu ʻo Michael i nā hōʻailona cue a kau iā lākou me ka manawa kiʻi a me ka spacing i hoʻohana ʻia i ka wā. No ka leo, ua hoʻopaʻa pū ʻo Mikaʻela i ka hui leo hope loa i ka cassette a hoʻihoʻi hou i ka helu, a hui pū me ke kumu e hoʻomalu i ka nui o ka walaʻau, wow, a me ka flutter. 

Ua hana ʻo Michael i nā hoʻoponopono kūpono ʻole a hoʻonoho iā Foley i kūpono i ka wā. Aia kekahi mau hōʻailona Foley i manaʻo ʻole ʻia i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni hope loa, me he mea lā ua nalowale lākou. Ua manaʻo mākou ua kōkua kēia mau ʻano hemahema i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni i ke au a me ka waihona kālā.

Pehea ʻoe i hōʻuluʻulu ai i ka mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni/mea keaka/ ʻōlelo poʻo ʻōlelo o nā nīnauele hoʻohenehene?

I ka wā i kākau ai ʻo Mikaʻela i ka palapala, ua hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā laina me nā ʻano kikoʻī o ka poʻe i ka noʻonoʻo, akā me ka ʻike e ʻōlelo ʻole paha kekahi i ka hana ʻana i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni. No laila, loaʻa iā mākou nā "ʻano" e like me "Melanie Kinnaman type" a i ʻole "Mark Patton type" i ka palapala kumu. ʻO kā mākou mea hana ʻē aʻe, ʻo Neal Jones, ua hoʻohui maoli i ka hoʻolei ʻana i kēia ʻāpana. Ua noʻonoʻo mākou ʻekolu i ka papa inoa o nā poʻe a mākou i manaʻo ai he kūpono. Ua nānā mākou i ka loko o nā malihini i loaʻa iā Neal ma kāna podcast a me nā poʻe āna i ʻike ai mai ka hoʻokipa ʻana i nā panela ma nā ʻaha kūkā a me nā ʻano mea like ʻole. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Neal e launa pū me nā kānaka. Ua wehewehe ʻo ia i ka manaʻo iā lākou a me kā mākou e noi ai iā lākou e hana. Ua hopohopo kekahi i ke ʻano o ko lākou hele ʻana mai i kahi hoʻohenehene, akā nui ka poʻe i lele pololei ma luna o ka moku! Ua makemake nui ʻia ʻo Neal e kēia poʻe, a ua hilinaʻi lākou ʻaʻole ʻo ia e hoʻāʻo nei e hōʻike i kekahi ma ke ʻano maikaʻi ʻole a i ʻole kekahi mea like. 

I ka manawa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka poʻe, hele mākou i ka palapala a hoʻoholo i nā laina i kūpono no lākou. Ua noʻonoʻo mākou ʻekolu i nā mea ʻē aʻe e pili ana i kā lākou hana kikoʻī a me ke kanaka. Ua pana mākou i kēia mau mea mai 2019 pololei a hiki i nā lā hope ma mua o ka hoʻouna ʻana i kā mākou ʻahaʻaina mua i ke kauwela 2022. I ko mākou kokoke ʻana i ka hopena, ua ʻōlelo pū kā mākou mea hoʻoponopono no The Once and Future Smash, ʻo Aaron Barrocas, i nā mea no nā nīnauele e hiki ke hoʻopiha i nā āpau. , hoʻohui i nā mea hoʻohenehene, a hoʻonui i ka pōʻaiapili. He mea kōkua nui ka hiki ke nānā i nā ʻoki ʻokiʻoki a laila pana i nā ʻāpana poʻo kamaʻilio hou e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia a hoʻopiha i nā āpau. 

He manawa pōkole wale nō mākou me kēlā me kēia poʻo kamaʻilio, akā hana maoli lākou i kahi hana maikaʻi loa i ka hana ʻana i ka manaʻo a me ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka papahana. Ua hauʻoli nui mākou e kaʻana like i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni me ka nui o lākou ma ka hoʻomaka mua o LA. Ua hopohopo mākou i ke ʻano o kā lākou hana ʻana, akā hauʻoli loa lākou i ko lākou hauʻoli ʻana i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni a maikaʻi hoʻi i kā mākou kiʻi ʻana iā lākou. ʻO ia kā mākou pahuhopu mau - e hoʻolauleʻa i kēia poʻe, ua ulu mākou e nānā a mahalo. 

He nui nā franchise weliweli i loko o nā ʻakaʻaka a me nā kuhikuhi ma The Once And Future Smash. Pehea ʻoe i hui pū ai i kēlā mea?

He poʻe makaʻu nui mākou, a ua makemake nui mākou e lilo kēia i hoʻolauleʻa no ka mōʻaukala weliweli! I ka wā e kākau ana ʻo Michael, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e ʻimi i ke kaulike ma waena o nā ʻakaʻaka e hana no ka lehulehu ākea a me nā ʻakaʻaka hohonu e uku ai i ka poʻe nānā i ka ʻike maoli i ka weliweli. Ua nīnau mai kekahi iā mākou i ka nui o nā kuhikuhi i loko o nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻelua, a ua nalowale mākou i ka helu, akā he nui! 

I ka wā e hoʻoponopono ana ʻo ʻAʻarona, ua hana maikaʻi ʻo ia i ka hoʻomalu ʻana i ka leo a me ka ʻoki ʻana i nā ʻakaʻaka i hana ʻole a i ʻole ka pohihihi. Ua hoʻohui pū ʻo ʻAʻarona i kekahi mau ʻakaʻaka ʻike - nā mea e like me ka manawa chyron ma ke ʻano he punchline. 

E loaʻa kahi End Zone 3? E ʻike hou anei mākou i ka Smash-Mouth i kekahi lā?

Nui nā manaʻo no nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a mākou e makemake ai e hana, no laila ʻaʻole mākou makemake e hoʻi i nā papahana, akā aia kekahi mea kūikawā iā mākou e pili ana i ka honua End Zone. Ua noʻonoʻo mākou e pili ana i ka hana hou ʻana o End Zone 1 a i ʻole hana End Zone 3D, akā e hilinaʻi ia i ka kūleʻa kālā o nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni o kēia manawa. I ka pōkole, inā loaʻa kahi koi no nā mea hou aʻe e hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ka waihona kālā, e hana hou mākou!

Ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻohenehene, he aha ka pae o ka improv vs scripted dialogue?

E like me kā mākou i ʻōlelo ai, ʻo ka hoʻokūkū ʻaʻahu ʻaʻahu wale nō. A i ʻole, ʻaʻole liʻiliʻi loa ka improv ma ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni. Ua haʻi aku mākou i nā poʻo kamaʻilio āpau e hoʻokipa ʻia lākou e riff ma nā laina a i ʻole e ʻōlelo hou iā lākou, no laila ua hana ʻia kekahi mea ma ʻaneʻi a ma ʻaneʻi. E like me kekahi mau laʻana, ua hoʻopuka ʻo Jared Rivet me kekahi mau poʻo kiʻiʻoniʻoni hoʻopaʻi pôpeku i ʻoki ʻia, a ua hauʻoli ʻo James Branscome i ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā ʻakaʻaka Vietnam i kāna mau laina āpau.  

Aia kekahi lā hoʻolaha/hoʻokuʻu ʻia no TOAFS a me End Zone 2?

Ma kahi o hoʻokahi makahiki e kamaʻilio ana mākou i kēia manawa, a ua loaʻa iā mākou nā makana he nui, akā ke ʻimi nei mākou i kahi hōʻoia i mua e uhi i nā kālā liʻiliʻi o nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻelua. ʻO ka mākeke i kēia manawa ke hopohopo nei ka hapa nui o nā mea hoʻolaha e lawe i ka pilikia, ʻoi aku hoʻi no kahi papahana maʻamau e like me kēia. No laila, e hana paha mākou me kahi aggregator a hana i kahi hoʻokuʻu ponoʻī o ke kiʻi i kēia hāʻule. He ala holomua kēia no mākou i ka wā i hala, a ʻaʻohe o mākou hopohopo no ka lawe ʻana i kēia ala. ʻO ia hoʻi, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomalu i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni a hoʻoholo i ke ala maikaʻi loa e kaʻana like me ka honua. ʻAʻohe lā i kau ʻia no ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana.

He aha kā ʻolua hana i kēia manawa?

ʻO Sophia ka mea kiʻi kiʻiʻoniʻoni ma nā hiʻohiʻona he nui e pana ana ma waena o kēia manawa a me ka hopena o ka makahiki i hoʻolaha ʻole ʻia i ka lehulehu, a ua kākau ʻo Michael no nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e hiki mai ana, ʻo Manicorn (dir. Jim McDonough) a me A Hard Place (dir. . J. Horton). Ua hana pū nō hoʻi mākou ʻelua i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni hou a Matt Stuertz, ʻo Wake Not the Dead, kahi mea e hauʻoli ai! 

Ke hoʻopololei mau nei mākou i kā mākou mau papahana ponoʻī e ʻike i nā kumuwaiwai e hiki ai ke ola i ka mea aʻe. Me nā manamana lima, hiki iā mākou ke ʻōlelo ua hoʻomohala mākou i kahi mea pohihihi pepehi kanaka a mākou e manaʻo nei e hana i kēia hoʻoilo me Sophia e kuhikuhi ana a me Michael e kākau a hana.
