We like to let AI tell the tale:
Join the conversation as C. Thomas Howell, or 'Tommy' as we fondly call him, graces our show with tales from his illustrious career, spanning the raw grit of "The Outsiders" to his dynamic voice acting in the DC animated realm. In a heartfelt exchange, Tommy unveils the layers behind his musical venture, particularly the song "Hell of a Life," which echoes his Hollywood odyssey. Not one to shy away from the eclectic, I also weigh in on "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," nudging listeners to look beyond the divided critiques and embrace the film's efforts to marry cherished memories with a new generation's verve.
As we stroll down memory lane, Tommy recounts the profound connections and behind-the-scenes magic of "The Outsiders," revealing how his experience with Francis Ford Coppola and the cast has rippled through time, continuing to captivate audiences old and new. From the unexpected ties that led him to "Southland" and "Animal Kingdom," to a serendipitous turn on "The Walking Dead," his narrative underscores the unpredictable yet rewarding nature of the industry. The episode further unwinds with nostalgic musings on Hollywood's golden era, contrasting the enigmatic stardom of yesteryears with today's candid social media landscape.
Capping off, our "Battle of the Sexes Replay" brings a dash of rivalry and humor, as listeners engage in a playful yet competitive contest of wits through quizzes that span from legal jargon to astrology.

Welcome to Eden and Amadeus. The podcast.
Speaker 2:We have so much to share with you today. First of all, our guest is C Thomas Howell. You may know him from the role Pony Boy, which is, of course, iconic, but he has also been in so many other movies, including ET, and there's one movie that we didn't ask him about because I'm sure he doesn't want to be asked about it, because it's not anything that could ever be released today. Remember Soul man.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, oh my gosh, that movie did not age well, and I love that movie as a kid.
Speaker 2:So what are some of the other movies he's been in, or TV?
Speaker 1:shows.
Speaker 2:He was the reaper on Criminal Minds.
Speaker 1:He was in the Hitcher, which we talk a little bit about, and I don't know if you know this, but he does the voice of a character in DC, in the DC world animated world.
Speaker 2:Oh really.
Speaker 1:So he's one of these actors that you know I'm not like a massive, massive fan, but he's been with us our whole life. He's just been plugging away, working hard and when we talk to him and you'll hear this, I think like I had a man crush all of a sudden, like I don't know what it was, but I just felt like a kinship with this guy.
Speaker 2:He's kind of a almost like an everyman, because he's a musician too and he goes by Tommy, which we were not expecting, we didn't know. I mean, I've heard Sandra Bullock is always called Sandy by all her friends. He introduces herself as Sandy, when he introduced himself as Tommy, because when someone is named C Thomas Howell, you don't know what to call them.
Speaker 1:You call them C.
Speaker 2:But he does his music Tommy Howell and Friends Music and he has a song and we ask him about this you'll hear where he talks about all of the different things he's done in his career, which kind of almost makes him like an outside observer, the way we are.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's called Hell of a Life and it's kind of a novelty song, but it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you're going to enjoy that. So we're going to, of course, give you a recap of all of this week's Battle of the Sexes that has to happen. And then, before we start any of that, we want you to have a review from Almedaise on Ghostbusters the new one because there have been some not so great reviews out there and you are here to say take a chance, yeah.
Speaker 1:I say take a chance. Look, ghostbusters is a franchise that we grew up on. I loved Afterlife, you know, bringing in a whole new, younger generation for this series they introduced at the very end of Afterlife. They brought in the original Ghostbusters. Have you seen it? I don't want to poop anything.
Speaker 2:Which one? Afterlife? Yeah, okay, so we loved it, but don't poop it anyway, okay, including someone that you don't expect.
Speaker 1:I'll just say that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And so like lump in my throat completely like fighting tears. So this movie, the new movie, frozen Empire, brings in that new cast and the old cast together. It's shock, full of people. I will say there's like 10 main characters. It could easily I could have watched this and said it's messy, there's too many characters. I could have watched this and said this story is so thin it doesn't hold up. But I watched this and said this is amazing. They've got all these great old actors and all these great young actors and they're together and the story is a little thin but it's also real simple. So young kids that are just getting into Ghostbusters can go watch this movie and it's not too hard to follow. They don't have to go wait. What Like? At an eight year old mind and I love that about the film I thought it had a ton of heart. I have a friend that saw it three times yesterday. Wow, three times in one day. And you know what, if it wasn't that good, he wouldn't have gone back a second time.
Speaker 2:That's an incredible testament to this movie, and you got to make your own decisions on this. I also have you seen. Have you did you watch the all female version of Ghostbusters?
Speaker 1:What did you?
Speaker 2:think of that. That all got heavily panned. Was that a mistake?
Speaker 1:I will tell you the truth. I didn't love it like I wanted to. I went in wanting to love it. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. I'll tell you, I think Chris Hemsworth was a huge miss in that movie, like I think there were too many stars thrown in there, just to throw a star in there and it lacked a great story, but you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 2:And I loved that afterlife, one that was fantastic. Paul Rudd is good in everything he does.
Speaker 1:And frozen empire. I do think you maybe should take a chance and just go in there knowing it's not going to win a billion Oscars. It's not like some groundbreaking film, it's just a fun. I'm calling it a summer movie because it's like a summer blockbuster. It's just a fun movie. Just go and have fun.
Speaker 2:It's going to be raining a lot of places. We're in Florida. It's going to be raining a lot of places in Florida. Wherever you are, regardless, go, take a chance, all right. So, speaking of movies and show biz, let's get into it with C Thomas Howell.
Speaker 4:Hi good morning.
Speaker 1:I'm so glad you introduced yourself as Tommy, because I wasn't sure what to call you. I've been calling you Mr Howell on the email back and forth, and all I can think about is Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's torture having a name. Nobody knows what to call you.
Speaker 1:Well, we're joined this morning by C Thomas Howell, and we got to get to why you're coming to Jacksonville, of course, but before we do, there's a couple of questions I want to ask you about personally. Sure, animal Kingdom. How did you come to be on that show and, by the way, you were fantastic.
Speaker 4:Thank you so much, great cast. So a few years back I was on a show. I did a show for five years. It started out at NBC and moved over to TNT called Southland. Oh, the one with Regina King. Yeah, I played an LA, a Los Angeles police officer. Regina King started the show and it was just one of the best things I've been a part of, both personally and artistically. And the people that created that show gentlemen named Chris Chulak, who came from the years of ER if you you know older folk can remember what that show even was back in the day where George Clooney cut his teeth these are the same people that made the show Animal Kingdom. So when they did that, they gave me a call and brought me over for a year and it was just an amazing experience working with all those people that were on that show and that's how that came about.
Speaker 1:I thought that was one of the most underrated shows on television at the time. I still don't think it got the props it deserved.
Speaker 4:So well made and just great actors and excellent writing makes for good TV.
Speaker 1:Absolutely the other one. When I first saw you pop up in the Walking Dead just riding horseback, me and my friends were watching were like is that see Thomas Howell? What's he doing there? How did that come about?
Speaker 4:Again funny it all sort of goes back to Southland. So I get a call from a really good friend of mine named Michael Cudlett.
Speaker 4:I believe he played the character I think it was Abraham, yeah, Abraham In the Walking Dead. Well, again, we spent five years together on Southland and when he was killed on the Walking Dead I think part of his deal and I'm not exactly sure but somehow he started directing some of the Walking Dead and he gave me a call because I was living in Atlanta at the time and he said listen, I know you grew up on horses. I have a role where a guy rides up and delivers a message and we'd love to have you come in. It could turn into something else. We're not exactly sure what's going to happen with that, but would you do it? And I said, sure, my father was a rodeo cowboy for years and I grew up ranching and I still ride and have horses today, so it was something to go do, that was fun, and hang out with my buddy, Mike Cudlett. And it was about two years later. They gave me a call after we did that day and they said would you reappear for a couple of episodes?
Speaker 4:And we'd like to bring you back and I said okay, great, so that's how that came about.
Speaker 1:And I thought the whole hilltop storyline was brilliant and I hated that everybody had to go and get killed.
Speaker 2:Oh, my gosh did you spoil that.
Speaker 1:Well, he spoiled Abraham getting killed by Negan oh my goodness, he didn't say it was by Negan.
Speaker 4:I think it's only spoiled if it hasn't aired. I mean, this show's been done for years, I know.
Speaker 2:but that's like a running thing, like, honestly, I watch shows so far after the time they've ever aired, and I know it's on me to do that. Let's talk about what's bringing you to town in the near future, and that is something I tell you. We are of that age you said people that are a little older and I grew up on the Essie Hinton books and of course, the outsiders and then of course the movie Stagold, and you know we love Pony Boy and did you have any idea at the time that I mean, how could you that so many years later it'd be considered such a cult classic?
Speaker 4:Well, we knew it was special working with Francis Ford Coppola. You know I read the book before we filmed and the book hit me hard and it was so relatable for me personally. But of course we didn't realize that it would become such a major part of American pop culture. I mean it's required readings in about 80% of the schools across America. I'd say 80% of those schools show the film afterward. And you know, every year I get a new batch of 13, 14 year old little girls crying on my social media that Johnny Cade is dead and they find out Pony Boy is 57 and they really see that, that's awesome.
Speaker 2:One of my memories of that was that you know when you read before, when you're reading a book and you don't really have the internet to go and find out how to pronounce things. So when the movie came out, I'm like it's not pronounced the socks, it's the soches what the heck Right? So you know, so many of you guys went on to such big things that it's got to be just one of those cult classics where, like you said, these little girls are finding it and just they can't believe how old everyone is.
Speaker 4:Well, first of all, what an epic cast right and we're talking Tom Cruise, amelia with Stevis, rob Lowe, Ralph Macchio, matt Dillon, patrick Swayze, weston Pease, diane Lane. It really is something that I'm proud to have been a part of. I'm still very close to a lot of those people, but it's a tool now that I think is an important tool for our schools and our younger people, because their lives have changed so much with devices and social media and things like TikTok and most kids. Now their attention span is so limited. I mean for them to be able to sit down and read the outsiders or sit down and watch the film from beginning and middle to the end is a really special thing, because now kids don't even need a beginning and middle and an end and they're doing 14 things at once. You know they're playing a video game while they're doing homework, while they're talking to their friend, while they're texting while they're on. You know they've got a television show on and they can grasp almost all of it. You know I would go crazy trying to attempt more than two of those things at the same time Same.
Speaker 4:So for me, we decided to open a foundation. It's called the Stagold Foundation and it gives me an opportunity to reach out to the young kids and share with them the importance of literacy, talking about reading, talking about writing, how that plays into my hand as an artist whether I'm acting or writing songs and it's something that it's a rare thing to be able to get a young person's attention. Now, and when Pony Boy walks into a classroom or into a theater or into an auditorium, I have their attention and it's because of this film and because of this book and my wife and I started talking about. Well, would it be great to put a little tour together and screen the outsiders away from the schools, invite the young kids with their mothers, their fathers, their parents, because it's touched so many people. Now, you know I get these, I'll get a young beautiful girl coming up to me and I'll be like you still got it, pony boy.
Speaker 4:The first thing she'll say is my man, I love you. I'm dealing with that. But it really opened my eyes to the fact that this has affected generations of people. The book was written over 50 years ago. The film was made over 40 years ago. The outsider seems to live in perpetuity. At this point it's not going anywhere and it's a great platform for me and I love to connect with people, whether I'm acting, whether I'm playing music. It gives me an opportunity to have that energetic exchange and a lot of those people. They come to see me but I tell everybody I'm here to see you and when I walk away my heart is filled. Hopefully their hearts are filled, and that's the beauty of the outsiders and that's the gift that it's given me to be able to have a voice and a platform to make a difference and have a great time. So we're coming to Jacksonville to screen the film.
Speaker 4:We have meet and greet and we have Q&A and we hug it out and take pictures and sign stuff and it's we've we've had oh, we've only been doing it for a short while and our first three shows have been completely sold out and Jacksonville is our fourth and we're in a low ticket point now and we're expecting to be sold out when we show up there for our. I think it's April 24th, right, we'll be there, so it's not that far away. But people can buy tickets or look at different locations and where we're going to be at TommyHowellMusiccom and it's just turned out to be a heck of a lot of fun and we're we're able to wrap our arms around a lot of people.
Speaker 2:I want to get to the Tommy Howell Music because we were watching the video for Hell of a Life and it is so much fun. I mean to just sit there and go down memory lane with you is a treat, it really is.
Speaker 4:You know, that's the beauty about music and I think good songwriting stems from someone's personal experience and that was just something I wrote for the fans. It's it's a you know, three minutes, as you said, of kind of recapping a career that started when I was young with ET, when I was 13 years old, and, you know, goes right on through my experience, you know, just a few years back when I did Criminal Minds and played the Reaper, and a lot of people really connect with that song and it's it's interesting because when, when we bring up a film or we bring up a TV experience, we automatically think about where we were when we saw it, how old we were when we saw it and who we were with when we saw it. Absolutely, it's had an effect on people that I never expected to generate and it taught me a lot about truth and being honest and sharing that.
Speaker 1:Like, for example, tommy. Like you and I are the same age, eden's one year behind us, but you know I saw ET at the same age. You were in the movie. I graduated in 83 when the outsiders came out and it's just a part of me, like you, are part of my life. Like you and Tom Cruise and Ralph Machio and others guys, I feel like we're buddies because I grew up with you guys.
Speaker 4:Well, and that's all we had back then. I mean, there might have been a couple of Tiger Beat magazines laying around, but you know we didn't have devices, we didn't have access like the people have now. You know there was something mystical and beautiful about wondering what our favorite celebrity was up to, not, you know, being able to reach out directly on TikTok or Twitter or, you know, instagram. Like it's taken away that dream quality that we all grew up with, and you know there's something sad about that in a certain sense. But remembering where, like, I saw Jaws and it affected me so deeply, I remember where I was when I saw it, how old I was when I saw it, and you know it made me hate the deep end of the pool instantly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, same, exactly the same. That's why, when you rode up on the hilltop on a horse, I was like, hey, there's my buddy, what's he doing there?
Speaker 2:And what's my friend doing?
Speaker 4:And where does my bus be? Owes me Exactly.
Speaker 2:And why is my friend Ponyboy an unsub on criminal minds?
Speaker 4:Now that messes with a lot of people. I get a lot of people come up to me and go oh my god, I love you so much as Ponyboy, but I hated you on criminal minds. People love to hate, so it's a good mix.
Speaker 2:That's another cult favorite criminal minds I love it so much and the hitter too.
Speaker 1:We didn't even mention the hitter.
Speaker 2:There's too many.
Speaker 1:Absolutely one of the greatest horror films of all time Too much to mention Too much.
Speaker 4:And it's funny that you brought that up right after criminal minds. And a real quick story for you before we go. When I was making the hitter, it was with this incredible actor named Rucker Howard. He plays a sick movie. Rucker, throughout the 80s and 90s, had the monopoly on villains and to this day I think he's probably the best villain ever, and he had petrified the entire cast and crew to the point to where he was isolated and nobody really ever said a word to him.
Speaker 4:And one day, about three weeks into the filming of the hitter, he invited me to his trailer for lunch and so I grabbed my food and my train and I go to his bus and I'm sitting in there and it's utter silence for what felt like an eternity it was probably six, seven minutes Nobody said a word. He was a chain smoker, so he was just smoking camel filter with cigarettes and as I'm poking through some unwanted potato salad, I finally looked up at him and I mustered up the courage just what I thought was small talk and I said so, rucker, you know, everybody says you're such an amazing bad guy and nobody does it better. What's your secret to playing bad guys? And he takes a drag on this cigarette and slowly exhales, picks some tobacco out of his teeth and leans in with this thick Dutch accent and he says to me I don't play bad guys. So that petrified the hell out of me and I instantly grabbed my train, excused myself and slowly walked backwards out of his trailer and shut the door. And that rattled around in my brain for 25, 26 years and I finally was offered the role to play George Foyette, the reaper in Criminal Minds. And I was old enough to reflect upon what Rucker really meant when he said that to me and it hit me hard. You see, rucker didn't play the stereotypes that you see a lot of people play when they choose to play a bad guy A lot of actors, they know that, oh, I don't die until page 85 on the script, so I can run through this hail of bullets and I don't have to be afraid of the guy that pulls the knife out and sticks it to my throat, because I can give you that writhe smile because I'm the bad guy.
Speaker 4:And I hate those moments because they're so fake. If somebody sticks a knife to your throat, I don't care who you are or what position you're in. You're going to be human and Rucker was the best at injecting humanity into all of his characters. So what he did was he played somebody that was righteous, somebody that was, in his heart, a good person that did bad things and that had a huge effect on all of it psychologically.
Speaker 4:And that's what I wanted to do when I played the Reaper, and it made a lot of sense to me. I didn't want to play somebody that was fearless when it came to being caught by the police or beat up or put into a personally challenging situation. I wanted to play somebody who had all those emotions, who was fearful when it was time to be fearful and who cared about his life and wanted to live and didn't know that I was going to live until the end of the show, so to speak. So that really taught me a lot and that came from the hitcher and my experience working with Rucker when I was 17 years old and I've carried that for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1:I'm so glad you told that story because I think that Roy Batty, the character he played in Blade Runner, epitomizes exactly what you just said. He knew he was an android and he knew he had a short shelf life but he lived more than any human in that movie and I think that whole story you told was like. It explained Roy Batty better than anything.
Speaker 2:Did you just spoil that movie for me?
Speaker 1:But you know what I'm saying. You better start watching some movies. But I'm sure you agree, roy Batty was the epitome of what you were just describing from Rucker.
Speaker 4:Well, there was a moment that reminded me of his character when he's, you know, in in Blade Runner. We stuck that nail through his hand, yep, and there was something there was. You know I Empathized with him. Well, he did the same thing in the hitter with me, and this is a great Illustration of who he was as an artist. You know, he had this knife.
Speaker 4:That he, you know, basically stuck in my crotch and that he was telling me I'm gonna cut you up into small pieces.
Speaker 4:And I was this young boy driving this car from Chicago to LA and I have a tear running down my cheek as I'm looking at him scared for my life.
Speaker 4:And he takes the knife. And this wasn't written in the script, but he scooped up the tear with the knife and he holds it up to the camera and the tear runs down the knife blade and it was such a poetic moment and these are the types of things that this man would do all the time, and and and I taught me so much because he he never forgot the importance of the poetry, he never forgot the importance of this, of telling a story, and a lot of people that played bad guys they just get caught up in being the bad guy, and Rucker just was a brilliant artist and that really affected me deeply and so you you recall that from from the Roy Batty moment and and I I see that, whether it was in, you know, night hawks or Lady Hawk or whatever movie, that he was just an artist and and there was so much to learn from that man, so I was really appreciative of that, of that experience.
Speaker 1:He taught me a lot and it stories like that is why I'm going to be at the Sunray cinemas on April 24th, because I cannot wait to hear more these is what we share when we travel.
Speaker 4:I'm a storyteller first and working with people like Elizabeth Taylor and Anne Margaret. I'm old enough to have experienced the last part of the golden years of Hollywood, back when movies were special, when movies were movies and and even today, sharing my moments on experiences that I, that I had on television and Really being able to connect with people. So anybody that isn't doing anything on on April of 24th you can go to my website one more time. Tell me how old musiccom grabs and tickets bring the family. We'll be having a Q&A afterwards would talk about what it was like working with Matt Dillon and Ralph Matthew and I get all kinds of crazy questions, like I'll get a little girl asking me what did Ralph Matthew smell like? And I say red skittles and and and we have a damn good time.
Speaker 2:It sounds like it's gonna be such a blast. Thank you so much everybody. We will put all of that information in our and you know up online too for everybody to get as well and safe travels. And yeah, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 4:I hope to see you guys. If you want to come, let me know. At least take us for you, and if you can't make it, then we're gonna be there again, probably screening the hitter next time.
Speaker 1:Shut up. I want to, I want to MC that with you.
Speaker 4:Okay, that that we would love to have you and we would love, we'd love to just have that experience. So we will call you back when we need to announce the hitter and we're gonna make you guys come in and I'm gonna tie you up like Rucker Howard.
Speaker 1:Tommy, thank you so much. You've made my entire day.
Speaker 2:That's amazing.
Speaker 4:Thank you so much and and to all the listeners, thank you so much.
Speaker 2:See you soon. Bye, tom Wow. I couldn't tell if he was serious. Are they going to do the hitcher? I don't know, I couldn't tell I wasn't 100% sure if he was just messing with you or I'll tell you one thing though that guy I'm a fan.
Speaker 1:I'm a bigger fan. I was a fan before, like a casual C Thomas Howell fan. Now I am a massive fan. I wanna go back and watch stuff I've never seen.
Speaker 2:Plus, he's one of those guys that makes you feel like you know him after you've just chatted with him for a while. He always sounds pretty down to earth for it.
Speaker 1:It reminded me a lot of when we talked to Jelly Roll for the first time. We knew nothing about Jelly Roll, and then we talked to him for like 10 minutes like he was an old friend of ours, so I love that.
Speaker 2:Just a regular dude. Ah, the Battle of the Sexes. That's where we're landing right now. Let's get into a week of flippy floppy battles.
