0:05
America if you subscribe to our film
0:09
threat interviews channel we have an
0:11
interview with Paul Walter Hower he is
0:14
on fire lately we will see him in the
0:16
upcoming Naked Gun movie um I I I loved
0:20
him as Richard Juel um he's just a guy
0:23
that pops up you've saw you've seen him
0:25
in Cobra Kai he is the lead actor in
0:28
this movie so check out interviews with
0:31
him on our interview channel and the
0:33
director this is based on a true story
0:36
about a man who appeared on a game
0:39
show um his name was Michael
0:42
Larson and uh he went on this game show
0:48
and won the most amount of money ever
0:53
won on a game show up to that point to
0:55
the point where people on the show
0:57
thought he was cheating he had a trick
1:01
not a cheat a trick that allowed him to
1:04
be able to win the cast um is rounded
1:07
out by Walton Gogggins who plays Peter
1:10
the host of the game show maisie
1:12
Williams Sylvia who is one of the
1:14
producers on the show johnny Knoxville
1:17
is in it as well along with David
1:19
Stratham uh who is a studio executive uh
1:23
great yeah I I need to interrupt you it
1:25
It's the Press Your Luck TV scandal game
1:28
show scandal yeah I'm sorry press Your
1:29
Luck is the name of the game show and
1:32
the director who I spoke to about this
1:34
movie he happened on an old VH VHS tape
1:41
shop that had the episode on it that uh
1:46
Michael L where Michael Larson won so we
1:49
actually just discovered this tape and
1:52
was like "This would make a great movie
1:55
it's 90 minutes it's tight it's uh Paul
1:59
Walter Hower has a way of creating a
2:02
very sympathetic character he's also
2:04
funny he can do he can do humor and
2:08
drama so well and this is a mix of the
2:12
two and there's a whole subplot
2:14
involving his daughter and family um
2:17
that is uh touching but the way this
2:22
thing amps up and I will say what I
2:24
loved about it was the production design
2:26
and the music the music in this makes it
2:29
so intense as you're watching it like
2:32
I'm a If you've ever watched a game show
2:34
where you're fearing for the person that
2:38
is playing the game and you're so
2:40
invested like Once Upon or uh um Who
2:43
Wants to be a Millionaire you would do
2:45
that where they had that music they do
2:47
that in this movie a strong recommend
2:50
for me i think you know what let's show
2:52
the trailer real real quick because I'm
2:55
I want Allan you to want to see this
2:58
movie i want to uh I just want you to
3:01
see it i have no idea what you just said
3:04
i I want I want you to see the movie
3:06
okay here let's watch it from Television
3:09
City in Hollywood it's time to press
3:18
luck i just came off a three-day track
3:23
Ohio and I drive an ice cream truck
3:27
i love the show oh I've probably seen
3:28
the rips i like the guy stories like
3:31
those are why America loves game sharks
3:36
let's meet our three contestants buying
3:38
for the big bucks big
3:40
bucks now the big board is filled with
3:43
money but be careful of the whammy
3:44
because they'll take you right back down
3:50
bucks stop 4,000 in a spin i'm going to
3:56
16,000 girls pass man the mathematicians
4:00
are giving me 6 to1 odds what's wrong
4:02
with this guy keep going he's going to
4:08
$24,000 again we have a problem somebody
4:16
he's not playing the game right we got
4:19
to scare him it'd be a real pity we got
4:24
it's a lot of money do you want to spend
4:26
and risk losing it all
4:30
i said again I tried to warn him
4:36
just find out who this guy is
4:40
are you doing something wrong
4:46
max closing a big deal right now that's
4:49
going to change everything
4:52
i don't know what to tell you heads are
4:54
going to rule for this i know you from
4:57
somewhere not America's Most Wanted
4:59
right you think that he's working alone
5:01
i have no idea all part of the game
5:03
right you just made it more than anyone
5:06
in the history of game shows
5:10
luck is just a good excuse to do nothing
5:13
and then hope that an opportunity comes
5:21
it's in theaters today i recommend it
5:24
eight out of 10 for me um it's 90
5:28
minutes does not overstay its welcome
5:31
it's uh it's just fun i mean it's part
5:35
thriller comedy through story it's a
5:38
weird genre blending and I had a great
5:42
time with it alan I hope you'll check it
5:44
out yeah I want to say this i I I know
5:46
the Press Your Luck uh scam you know
5:48
that story it's not a scandal the guy
5:50
just hacked he knew he knew how to He He
5:53
knew what to do to to win he figured out
5:56
a way to to beat the game and it it
5:59
threw everyone for a loop so all my
6:02
whole point why I showed trailers is I
6:05
want people to understand lots of crappy
6:09
movies come out every week from
6:11
Hollywood this is a small indie movie
6:14
that was made the guy uh the director
6:16
got like foreign financing um they
6:20
filmed it in like Brazil like it's just
6:23
weird like this is not a Hollywood movie
6:26
it's being distributed by IFC films but
6:29
the thing is every week you know not
6:31
every week is a winner at the theater
6:33
but there are gems here and there um
6:36
Freaky Tales Luckiest Man in America uh
6:39
last week Bob Trevino likes it expands
6:43
to more theaters there are small little
6:45
indie movies worth your time and part of
6:48
the reason film threat exists is to tell
6:51
you about them but if you read the
6:53
comments on our YouTube channel it's
6:56
very clear people don't watch the
6:58
channel on a regular basis like why are
7:01
you doing another Rachel Zgler video
7:03
well to be fair it does bring eyeballs
7:06
but it also helps you discover movies
7:09
like this one and Freaky Tales among
7:12
others and we will continue to do that
