Chapter 3: What challenges did the production face during filming?
It's the best movies Trevor's never seen. Just on the weekend, by the way, my family debating you quite heavily. Really? Victoria Filthy, you still haven't done Harry Potter. Okay, it's coming. Tell them to be patient. Amanda's suggesting that we should be doing, what was that movie I was watching? With the Martin Sheenan. I sent you a message.
Oh, yeah.
Pollyanna. No, Pollyanna's another one. Anna Green Gables. Anna Green Gables, yes. Yeah.
Chapter 4: How did Wayne's World impact pop culture?
I don't think it's on your list. Not at all. That's what I politely said to them. Maybe. But anyway, we talk about movies here that you most of the time haven't seen and maybe a lot of you haven't seen either. We see this show as a suggestion to the movies that you should have a watch and then come and listen to our show. A lot of these movies may have been made before you were born. They will.
Some of our audience. This week's might be that case. Wayne's World, we are watching. Yeah. Released in 1992. You were definitely born then. I was year 11.
Chapter 5: What iconic scenes and quotes are highlighted in Wayne's World?
And this stars Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Rob Lowe, and Tia Carrera. Yeah. Now, it's based on a Saturday Night Live character developed by Mike Myers. Now, when he originally came up with the character, he created it as a solo character. Right. But while he was performing with Second City...
When he brought it to Saturday Night Live, to get that sketch off the ground, he needed to pair up with an established cast member, which was Dana Carvey. And that's how Garth was added for the Saturday Night Live sketch, which is what this film was based on. It was produced by Lorne Michael, who's the producer, been the boss there for 40 years, whatever it is.
And so that was how the duo was created, even though it was still only called Wayne's World. Now, Mike Myers, before the film and even during the film, by the way, from what I understand, rewrote the script for Wayne's World so many times that the director, Penelope Spheeris, had to institute a new rule. If you give me something new, this is her words, it has to be 24 hours before.
So if the prop guys have to get a gun rack in 10 minutes, that's not going to work. That was a scene in the movie. Now, Paramount Pictures was on the fence at the start to back this movie.
Chapter 6: How did the film's music choices affect its popularity?
The sketch was okay on Saturday Night Live and the film actually grossed more than 18 million on opening weekend. But Mike Myers said his first reaction was a note from the studio saying they didn't fully understand the concept. But they still went with it. So you've seen this. I understand you may have seen this. I've seen it more than once.
This is a movie that was like, as I said, I was in year 11. So this is a movie. In your wheelhouse for your age. All my mates, we were 12th man fans. This is comedy. This was funny. So you had mates, did you? Yeah, we had a couple. You know, shwing.
Chapter 7: What lessons about friendship and authenticity does the film convey?
Like, that was, I mean, we're in year 11 for crying out loud. Do you know what I mean? Like, it was. Yeah, you were the perfect audience. Like, I've got a crap memory, as you know, but there were so many times when re-watching this that I went, oh, that line. We used to say that. This movie, well, it coined a lot of quotes and actions.
Like, you know, we're not worthy, you know, that sort of stuff.
Yes, that was the other one.
As soon as they did that, I went, oh, my God, that's so good. The movie was shot in 34 days despite its troubled production, which I'll talk about later. Right. It's the only Saturday Night Live spin-off to gross more than $100 million to date. Wow. It's pretty good. $121 million. I'm just looking at the box office. Roger Ebert. Now, man, Roger. His review. Here's Roger's review.
I'll give you the highlights. I walked into Wayne's World expecting a lot of dumb, vulgar comedy, and I got plenty, but I also found what I didn't expect, a genuinely amusing, sometimes even intelligent undercurrent. Like the Bill and Ted movies, this one works on its intended level and then sneaks in excursions on some other levels too. Yeah, right.
The movie's inspired by Saturday Night Live's long-running parody of local access cable TV. Wayne's world originates from the panelled basement room of its host, Wayne Campbell, who looks to be in his late 20s but still lives at home with his parents in Aurora. Wayne's sidekick is Garth Algar, looking uncannily like Art Johnson and operating with the brainpower of a clever seven-year-old.
The two of them interview a strange guest, drool over posters of their favourite models and use the word excellent a whole lot. One quality that grew on me during the film was Maya's conversations with the camera.

Chapter 8: What are the hosts' final thoughts and ratings for Wayne's World?
Incense, the whole movie is a cable access documentary on his life and particularly on his great and helpless crush on Tia Carrera. The Dana Carvey character doesn't wear as well. The fact that his personality has a severely limited range of notes doesn't prevent him from playing them over and over. But... The movie was so good-spirited, we forgive him.
The access shows I like the best are the ones on which I can never be sure what's going to happen next. Wayne's World gets that right. Nice. So that's pretty positive. It was three out of four stars. People probably don't realise that cable access is essentially like community TV here. Probably even more community than community TV in Australia because in Australia we only really had a
a small number in the metro areas, whereas cable access is like, you know, basically anyone with the keenness. With the dish. Community radio here was easy to get into. That's kind of like community access TV over there. Oh, it's on community radio.
Yeah, I know.
