Still Working 9 to 5 Filmmakers Gary & Larry Lane: "Just Cuz You're Twins, Don’t Think You're Special"
Manage episode 436922662 series 47388
Dennis is joined by two of the filmmakers of the new documentary Still Working 9 to 5, which is about the classic film comedy from 1980 and the ongoing movement for equality for women that the film depicted. Gary co-directed the film and Larry executive produced it. The twin brothers talk about how they first got the idea to make the documentary, the challenges of landing and scheduling interviews with stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Dabney Coleman, and how they were able to score a haunting new Kelly Clarkson-Dolly Parton duet version of the title song for their end credits. They also talk about how they worked with co-director Camille Hardman to weave the serious story of the women's equality movement over the last 50 years in with the glamorous, funny behind-the scenes story of making the original 9 to 5 film. They also recall how the bottom dropped out of the documentary market just as they were premiering at South By Southwest in 2022 and wondering if they'd ever get a proper streaming release. (They are--woohoo!--in the fall of 2024.) Other topics include: their powerful and occasionally spooky connection as twins, the snarky male reviewers who didn't appreciate 9 to 5 when it first came out, appearing together as twins on shows like Fear Factor and The Truth About Food and their very humble first Christmas in LA after leaving North Carolina to pursue their dreams. It involved a sad futon, top ramen for dinner and a check for $50,000 from Fear Factor that they couldn't cash because it arrived on Christmas eve and all the banks were closed. www.stillworking9to5.com
