Tim Basaraba – You CAN”T make a third Bad Boys and not have it directed by Michael Bay! Wanna bet?

Tim Basaraba – Oh Tiffany Haddish! The hilarious Girls Trip was your breakout roll in 2017. You followed it up with the almost as funny Night School and Nobody’s Fool in 2018. In 2019, you crushed the animated films market with voice work in the second Lego Movie, Secret Life of Pets and Angry Birds. Then you took a “serious” turn in the critical and financial flop The Kitchen. What would you do in 2020?
Tim Basaraba – Wow! Have you ever gone to see a film based solely on the hope that it would be so bad that it was good? Meow!
Tim Basaraba – Every ten years or so, someone trots out an Adam Sandler film and labels his performance as a “serious role.” Paul Thomas Anderson tried it with Punch Drunk Love (2002), and it worked. Then Judd Apatow did it in 2009 with Funny People, and it didn’t. Would the Safdie Brothers be able to convince us that their lead could try again and hit the mark?
Tim Basaraba – How could Jake Kasdan take his surprise smash hit, Jumanji (2017), and make a sequel that didn’t rely on the first film’s set up? When in doubt, add two Danny’s, Devito and Glover. Both actors shine during their small amount of screen time, but, more importantly, give our main characters a template for comedic delivery.
