"Leftover" Episode Trivia

Well this is a little bonus... not officially part of the "Stuck" world but something Paul wrote and produced a few years back. Here's some little behind-the-scenes trivia and goofs!

We shot this mostly at our old apartment in Queens, except the shot of Hawkman's legs dangling out the window. That shot we did at my buddy Kim's (Thanks Kim!!) She also helped us out by providing the wooden box for Carter's weed. For the weed, we used some old herbs we found lying around the kitchen. (Sidebar trivia-- I'm really anti-pot. It smells bad and makes you dumb!!! Do we really need any extra help in that department?)

Another friend who helped us out is my buddy Joseph, who drives & drops off Carter (Thanks Joseph!!)

In the first shot of the living room, I'm not wearing any shoes! I must have taken them off between takes. But then in another shot they're on.
Paul's mustache kept falling off and we had to use rubber cement to stick it on which gave him a bad reaction and stung his face quite a bit. Ah, one must suffer to create art.
We made that costume ourselves! I made the mask out of papier-mache. *She's crafty!*

Paul made the "computer" himself, too! Out of, just crap he found. On top of the computer you can see an album by The Sweet. And next to it is a black box, inside of which is a Hawkman figurine. (This same figurine is later seen in "Ace in the Hole")

And we drank all those cheap-ass beers ourselves, too, just to use the cans as set dressing. It's given me a lasting taste for Tecate, no lie.

I created the music played in the car, the "computer" SFX, and the Hawkman "Hero's Theme" played at the end, all on GarageBand. Paul did a great song for the end credits but had to cut it to shave time off.

And one last piece of trivia-- I still have those pants! I wore them yesterday.

bye.
