Richard Simmons is a good dude and should be left the hell alone.

He is jealous of all his co stars in Encino Man winning Oscar's....... Man tell that to someone in 92...

[–] db2@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I like both so win-win.

[–] idiomaddict@feddit.de 7 points 8 months ago

He has asked for privacy and to be left alone, which they seem to be ignoring, sadly

It's already happening...

There's even a teaser promo.

And Richard Simmons respectfully replied asking Pauly Shore to stop

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 9 points 8 months ago

Simmons is not involved and didn't give permission, but it sounds like they are doing it anyways.

[–] jettrscga@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Did he? I missed all this news. Googling now I only see that Simmons said he didn't give permission and didn't want to be involved when they tried, but didn't see him try to shut it down.

I'm curious to hear if he really wanted it stopped. It's tough to understand his tone in his quote, but it feels slimy that they released the short anyway.

Not happening. Happened.

Here is the short film: https://youtu.be/YjVXPlutAMI

No, the biopic is going to be something else.

FTA:

The biopic follows an unrelated short film about Simmons from director and writer Jake Lewis.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I thought this was a short film and nothing more

Wow. That had much more depth than I was expecting.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, here is the short film. It already happened.

The podcast looking into Richard Simmons disappearance was great.

[–] Deadrek@lemmy.today 1 points 8 months ago

His other works are great too.

[–] sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Kevin Sussman is going to do the prequel/reboot.
