TRANSCRIPT:
Mary Polanco: …A healthy state of mind, Oh, I'd have to say Rocky. Yeah, I'd have to say Rocky, and specifically Rocky IV, because it's the best one. I know we can get into a debate. They're all great. Okay, let's not go down that road because maybe they're not all great. Rocky 4, I think that there is this, it's not just grit. It's not just, it's just this, it is grit, but it's also, when you know what you have to do and you're being pulled towards it and you know if you don't go towards that, you will regret it for the rest of your life. That is the inner voice and that is the inner mentality that we all should be listening to and a lot of us are not. And Rocky just portrays that so clearly in that movie. And then when he gets there and listen, side note secret, every single PT test I ever took in the Air Force was with the Rocky IV soundtrack, Yes And so, yeah, the No Way Out specifically got me around the bend. But no, I think that's the movie. I just, I love the mentality. Yeah. Okay, so the title, let me go to who would play. So I have two options, because I feel like they look like me. I've been told they look like me similarly. One would be Heather Graham. I think it's the big eyes and then the other one is Anna Faris. I get that one a lot too. So either one of them. I'd like to see Anna in a more serious role, but my movie would not be, I think it would be like a comedy drama because I don't even know about the drama, but I just, I like to have fun. I think life is supposed to be lived. So live your life. There's the title.
