DEE WALLACE: Filming Cujo, Heartbreaking Peter Jackson Story, Loving Yourself & Embracing Naivety

[@mikkig2964]

Dee Wallace is one of those people that a hug from her would make the world seem a little better. she is the worlds MOM not just ET's mom

[@faroutfoodz]

We've had the privilege of getting a hug from Dee and your 1000% right 😎

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

​@@faroutfoodzsame here. She's such a sweetheart

[@garyny4073]

​@@faroutfoodz- at chiller theatre film con ? Right ? U saw her there but I didn't talk to her cause I didn't want to spend money so I didn't want to piss her off by asking her questions or talking

[@jwyllor]

I imagine you are correct. She seems sweet and down to earth.

[@ChrisCollins068]

“What’s that werewolf movie with ET’s mom in it?”

[@jamesclark4578]

Dee is one of the most real people I have ever met. Not celebrity but person. I met her 10 years ago at a con and at first I thought she was just bored and talked to me at length about so many things. A year later I saw her again this time I was with my future wife and they spoke at length for a very extended time. I walked up and she recognized me and invited us to sit and it was so awesome. 6 years later I am walking around my city and she sees me on the street and recognized me. Such a sweet and genuine person. I will watch and support anything she does.

[@jwyllor]

Wow! What a wonderful experience that must have been. You are blessed.

[@garyny4073]

I wish she would give me a break in the biz , but I didn't go up to talk to her , was to intimidated by her ! She's the mom in ET and Cujo , I would be to nervous to talk to her

[@darkflighter4612]

As soon as the interview started I said to myself: “She looks incredible”. Aging with grace is definitely the way to go.

[@redomega24]

Same. She looks/sounds great.

[@JJL079]

What a lovely lady Dee is. I met her at a Con last year in London along with Henry Thomas and Robert Mcnaughton. All were lovely. Dee was so welcoming with my son and I. I explained how growing up watching E.T you are watching it through a childs perspective but now as a parent im watching it through Mary's protective perspective. Just goes to show how timeless that film is. What a great story teller she is. I lived her " he hates mexico story".

[@wendyc2879]

What she is saying about childhood is correct. I grew up with health issues that a lot was not known about when I was growing up. Kids didn’t want to be around me, they made fun of me and I never really had friends in school. I’ve always wanted to be someone else. How do you choose to love yourself? I still struggle with this.

[@lynnyhen]

I didn't expect to cry. Great actress and human.

[@benfisher4783]

I'm not a religious person and not a big believer in spiritualism or mysticism. But Dee's stance of being the god of your own thoughts/feelings is a kind of stoicism that I can really get behind.

[@shodannadohs4045]

What a beautiful interaction between Wallace and Rosenbaum.

[@kathleenseligmytatterednto8560]

I just love her. She is a light in a world that's spun into crazy.

[@nealwhaley63]

The reason she’s still working at her age is because she’s a working actress. She’s not trying to hog the screen or be a bombshell, unlike 90% of actresses seemingly. She plays characters, period.

[@jerryjayson67]

Well she looks great too still and thats very important in Hollywood

[@mrsdirt]

Beautiful lady. Beautiful mind, heart and soul. Thank you for having her on, needed to listen. ❤

[@sploofygaming5446]

How can you not love that woman? Such a good episode!

[@kupkake9550]

What amazing interview! I have enjoyed all the interviews I have watched but Dee Wallace really is amazing. I've loved her performances since I was a little kid, but she openness and teachings really got to me. What a lovely soul.

[@quatz1981]

What a lovely woman. The world needs more people like Dee.

[@melliefz]

This was probably, by far, my favorite podcast that you have done. I really feel Dee was meant to come to you and that she'll be a huge to you and others.

[@shawn1428]

I met Dee in 2017 she was a delight, such a sweet humble woman, she was at a horror event with her daughter, Dee is so grateful for her fanbase.

[@dragontrainer76]

I met her nearly 20yrs ago, on an independent horror film. She was so kind to just talk with someone who was hanging out, but had questions about the craft....she hasn't changed 1 bit.

[@patticriss2238]

I just rewatched Cujo yesterday and I wondered what she was thinking during the filming. She was so good in that movie. All of her movies. Have to admit my new favorite is her Supernatural appearance. Loved that.

[@donpowers7478]

I have met Dee Wallace so many times, and she always remembers me and my wife. When I meet celebrities for the first time, I study up on them, so I'm fully prepared to talk about anything. Well, my first time I met Dee Wallace our discussion was going really well because we talked about her being black balled in Hollywood after her argument on set with Steven Spielberg during filming of E.T. She was amazed I knew all about that incident and what happened to her career at that time. Everything was going great and then I asked how her husband Chris was doing and then she went silent and her eyes started to tear up as she told me he had passed away 5 years earlier. I totally froze up and couldn't believe how stupid I was for making such a horrendous mistake. Dee Wallace actually got up from her table at her convention booth, walked over to me and gave me a full hug telling me it was okay and that she was fine and that I shouldn't feel foolish for my error. I made her cry, and she was more concerned about how upset I was about my error. And my wife and I were invited to sit with her for another hour to have an amazing conversation. After that meeting, Dee always has remembered me and my wife and I love her for that because she is honestly sincere, caring and full of humor and positivity. Dee Wallace is in my top 5 of most favorite people I've met at over 50 horror conventions in 13 years. She is a true national treasure.

[@kathleenseligmytatterednto8560]

What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.

[@NobodyYouKnow125]

Dee Wallace (Stone) I’m a big fan! E.T. , Secret Admirer, The Howling, Cujo and Halloween… She’s amazing! Rosenbaum, you’ve done it again. 🎉

[@awakeenlighten2298]

Dee Wallace is wonderful ... Just loved this Michael. Thank you for having her on! “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” ― Nikola Tesla

[@slayet2ville1]

I’m glad she’s considerate enough to acknowledge Ryan next to her everytime she talks, most celebrities just look at Michael

[@biffbarely7045]

Dee is such a joy. Always loved her fragility and honesty in every role I've seen her.

[@krisannjohnson5470]

Such a beautiful soul! Love her (and Rosy) dearly! She was so spot on and made me misty-eyed.

[@cassandraamador3721]

By far one of if not THE best episode so far. Been a fan of the pod for a long time. I love seeing Rosie learn more about the path to healing. I hope Rose gets more out of this friendship with this incredible woman!

[@PlanBProductioninc]

wow what a wonderful woman , i really got teary eyed watching her describe her husbands passing , always loved her as a kid and now more because shes so real,thanks michael and ryan great interview,but big thanks to dee for being dee

[@bubba4072]

I just think the world of this lady. I met her at a horror con and she was so kind to this 80s kid. I'll never forget it. E.T. was the first movie I ever saw in a theatre. ...so cool! I pray she has a wonderful life and gets to do everything she wants to.❤

[@lukedavis3703]

How can no one not acknowledge this woman? One of earth's lovelies

[@gabbygamino4861]

I love Dee, such a genuine person.❤

[@notchase1798]

Handle what you handle and get through what you have to get through. I’ll never forget those words. Thank you Dee.

[@epihead9196]

As a post-menopausal woman it was so nice to have a woman of Dee's age talking about sex in such a positive way. Brava! On another note, I REALLY hope that Mike Flanagan and Dee both bug Henry Thomas to visit, his appearance in Alex Winter's doc "Showbiz Kids" was fascinating. I heard him talk about making Gerald's Game at a con last year too, he was very frank and honest about how that role affected him. I think he'd be a great guest.

[@michellerosebrown]

She is a legend and everyone’s favorite mom on screen. ❤

[@benjamintriplett3]

I've loved Dee Wallace since Cujo. She just seems so down to earth and sweet!

[@jared8791]

Dee you might be one of the coolest people ever to exist. Beautiful. Just beautiful

[@tmntaddict]

This got me teary-eyed. She hits the NAIL with everything therapy has taught me. All my love to you both!!

[@lowprofilepaul]

I love her, E.T. is my favorite childhood movie, she was like a second mom seriously!!

[@charlenec77]

Dee is such an amazing lady!! Met her a couple of times and she’s so open, she’ll have 10 minute conversations with you like she’s known you forever! LOVE HER!!!!

[@NintenDobs]

I honestly can't recall if I've ever seen anything besides ET that Dee Wallace has worked on, most of the time I'm here watching for Michael regardless of being familiar with the guests. Having said that, this was the most honest and open interview I've ever seen someone give. She's so articulate and assertive, yet allows herself to be vulnerable and doesn't deny or try to suppress her emotions. Very powerful interview.

[@beanorod-zt2nl]

Her IMDB is packed full of work :D likely you will have seen one of those movies ;)

[@jennyk885]

The things I saw on last was Supernatural and Grimm.

[@JordanJMyers]

Critters is one of my favs

[@Johnny_Socko]

The Frighteners is my favorite role of hers, because it is so different. The character is such a looney, and Wallace really got to be over-the-top with it. It's such a fun performance. That's why I was stunned to hear that her husband had passed during filming. I can't imagine continuing working in those circumstances, let alone portraying a character with so much (weird) energy. How nice that Peter Jackson and her other colleagues were there for her during that horrible time.

[@mattbernabe]

I agree. She was just amazing in that role. I'm still surprised and a bit frustrated that she didn't get bigger roles after that.

[@BishopWalters12]

I got to meet Dee about 6 weeks ago at Fearfest in Raleigh and she was so nice to everyone. I'm happy that I got a picture with her and an E.T. poster signed.

[@DrDespicable]

She seems like such a genuine person - I think *would* be fun to hang out with!

[@TsDwelling]

"I was a MILF!" That made me choke laughing. What an awesome episode this was. Dee Wallace, we have so much in common. Just wish I could give her a big hug. Much much much love. ❤ Edit: I think Dee Wallace and John Schneider should talk. 🙏

[@AndrewO11]

I randomly watched Cujo yesterday! I have The Shine!

[@tj5build]

This, hands down, has been the best one yet. I had no clue Dee was so talented. She's a treasure!!

[@rosee7011]

My thoughts exactly!

[@franktaylor595]

I've always thought of Dee Wallace and Dianne Wiest as the quintessential mother type. This one is really interesting and eye-opening.

[@toddmoline9022]

This is the most fascinating interview I've seen on this podcast. Love Dee Wallace. Great Actress.

[@misoboskovic]

I looove Cujo movie & book. Huge fan of Stephen King. Great guest!

[@gumbercules8ty6]

I know her from so much, but she will forver be the mum in Critters. I watched that movie so many times as a kid to stop myself from being frightened. Such a great interview Rosie. Well done mate.

[@theresemarkham9387]

This week’s episode is so powerful and moving. Dee definitely opens up and her views on energy is so interesting . She continues to have such a powerful career. She is so strong and brave. Happy Fourth of July!!

[@TheGeekAuthority]

What a wonderful 4th of July treat to wake up to! Dee Wallace wad an amazing interview. I was moved to tears twice. She is beautiful, articulate, thoughtful and clearly down-to-earth. Bravo Ms. Wallace. I watched this interview twice Michael just to feel good. Bravo! Bravo!

[@natadunn]

Cujo and The Howling are still faves of mine. Great interview and Dee looks great!

[@michaeldiamond2755]

Dee blows me away. I’m strongly considering a session with her!

[@JD_ATX]

OMG, Dee Wallace is so grounded, wise, and spot-on. I have been following her YT channel for years. She never ceases to amaze me with her words and insights. One of my greatest desires is to have a deep, spiritual conversation with her. I swear, she should have been a therapist (and kind of is to an extent).

[@mkdrivingzone]

I used to teach some of what Dee was speaking about. If you say "I can't do that" then you won’t, because you cannot lie to yourself. But, I can't do that, yet. Just adds that little caveat of possibility that you can do it. Eventually. So saying and staying positive about things when learning means you'll get there, eventually. Just realised, Dee Wallace is a freaking Jedi Master.

[@tjkeevins4545]

I got into this podcast on a whim during the pandemic and didn’t really know what to expect. It’s generally good, but this one is at least the best one that I’ve heard/ watched by far. It spoke to me in a big way on multiple levels. Wow.

[@RobVespa]

What a legend. This is a good interview. Ms. Wallace seems like the rare celebrity who remained human and relatable. What a tragic and sad story during her Frighteners role, but, thankfully, what lovely people she worked with who supported her. I had no idea.

[@ChristianHansard]

Wow I watched this because "Mom from ET" got moved by a beautiful person. Great episode.

[@dominique9187]

I felt a deep emotion listening Dee Wallace ! 💔 who brought tears to my eyes ,but also thanks to her kindness and Windows !❤❤ And what sensé of of humor!😅😅 Excellent actress and an IOU always at the high of you know - how, Michael 👌💙

[@dominique9187]

And wisdom ! 🙊 Sorry!

[@rdp16rulez]

Excellent interview! I have been waiting for this one since Michael first announced that he spoke to Dee. This one absolutely delivered. What a treat it was to hear about her life and beliefs. Plus we got to hear Michael as Dudley Moore (love his impressions) so that was cool. Keep up the great work!

[@johngiampetro5509]

Awesome podcast Michael !!!! Love your podcasts. This one with Dee Wallace is a gem !!!!

[@karlGiant]

This interview is amazing. Thank you. I’m sharing with everyone!

[@lindamawdsley6130]

Love this interview it was honest, funny and emotional all at the same time. I totally get the way she thinks and will definitely read her books, thank you for having this lovely lady on the podcast definitely one of the best episodes 😊

[@RobotPorter]

Dee Wallace is amazing. I've watched her since I was a kid. And listened to her podcast for a decade. But you captured her magic and spirit in a truly unique way. Great job, Michael!

[@nope5657]

Deep has been one of my favorite actors since I was a kid. Great listen.

This was a great one Michael. Dee was such a treat to hear her stories, looking forward to her coming back.

[@TAURON85]

I don't know what inspired you to invite her, Michael, but even though I've seen plenty of episodes, this and the Robert Patrick one takes the cake! She's an adorable and amazing person! ❤️

[@tengland8542]

An episode that nobody wanted to see end. Nice job Michael.

[@MoviesandCoffee]

Most people would say ET but I always think of Dee in Critters or The Frighteners, both EXCELLENT, underrated films

[@Rahatlakhoom]

Of all possible worlds to explore. This show hits that nerve. So interesting with depth.

[@Boygonebad]

What an amazing show with such a great guest in Dee Wallace. She seems like the nicest most genuine human beings ever.

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

The thing she said that I've always found to be true of her work as an actress--she finds herself to be "very truthful" and so do I. Very 'in the moment' and totally believable. And endearing as well, esp. in E.T.

[@diycraftq8658]

Bravo guys, great show. I always have and still adore Dee she should be up there with Jamie Lee Curtis

[@jefffortney4261]

Dr. Morris Massey had a program called "What You Are Is Where You Were When". In the program, he explains that your personality is pretty much set by the time you're around 9 or 10 based upon the era in which you were born, where you lived during that time, and your influences. Your personality can only be changed later by one or more "significant emotional events".

[@Eurocatbaby]

Great interview. Love Dee Wallce.

[@Shinobi_ninja_clan]

Another great interview Baumcake! Best interview based podcast channel anywhere!

[@danielhaynes2373]

Another amazing interview with a living LEGEND‼️❤

[@Brook11223]

Another amazing Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum is always nice to hear.

[@Werewolf914]

Haven't listened yet I like to listen to these while I work or something, but had to comment just to say how excited I am, Dee Wallace is a Legend from The Howling to Cujo to Critters (and the only good part of Critters Attack) to Various Rob Zombie movies such as Halloween and Lords of Salem to everyones Mom in 40% of the movies that came out in the 80s, to the one episode of Supernatural where her character just wanted to bang Dean, the list goes on and on, she's one of the greatest Actors of all time in my opinion.

[@3rdandzen97]

Great interview!!! And yeah, getting Henry Thomas on this show would be great!!

[@shanehenry7699]

Dee has done everything including an underrated horror film called "Popcorn". Love that film. You should have the star of that film on who is Jill Schoelen.

[@bot1774]

Wow very powerful episode. I agree with you, Michael this one hits hard

[@pauline9580]

I haven't ever watched a Dee Wallace -stone film that isn't less than brilliant......her acting is beyond amazing...if you haven't watched Cujo,The Howling,The Hills,you're missing out,astounding actress!!it's so lovely hearing Dee talk about Chris,not many interviewer's do?love her stories,they both acted amazingly together.

[@lomion79]

Yup. One of the best yet. Dee has such a wonderful aura about her and is full of such insightful wisdom. Truly an open and brilliant soul.

I've always rated Dee Wallace as an actor since I first saw her in The Hills Have Eyes (which is still a great film). She comes across so well in this interview.
