Re-uploaded with audio re-leveled, and remixed. Yea.. we're not ready. :)
Peter Weller ("Robocop", "Screamers") chats with Kevin.

[@robertmunro5382]

i could listen to weller talk all day long

[@seattlegolfer]

Robert Munro Totally. The man is a genius. And real. No bullshit with him. Tells it like it is.

[@zargnot]

I would love to drink a cup of coffee with Weller. He's got balls that clank! What smart human being.

[@robzilla730]

I'd like to share a joint with Weller...

[@darcylolan1553]

Peter Weller, man...love this guy. Bring him back.

[@darcylolan1553]

Priceless. I shook hands a few times with Brett "the Hit Man" Hart, at a Gym I used to work at. Seemed like a nice guy.

[@grainofsalt4934]

Peter Weller. Just an awesome intelligent guy. I could listen to him all day, would have been stoked to have been one of his students when he was a professor.

[@lauriefrancisco1084]

How much do I LOVE Peter Weller? And I had NO idea about him and PhDs and jazz. Wow!

[@CrimsonJackal]

21:10 They actually get to Introducing Peter Weller. Fascinating dude!

[@allicancan]

I love this man! A true Renaissance man, and I love watching him host documentaries such as 'Engineering An Empire'. I could listen to him for hours!

[@ColumbiaBeet]

Just discovered Kevin's show and am pouring through interviews from the past ten years. Love me some Peter Weller. Robocop to WS Burroughs to Art Historian. Super interesting guy, and a great voice!

[@celticcon92]

I have so much respect for him Peter Weller and Kevin Pollak is a riveting interviewer.

[@erikklein7303]

He is... The Most Interesting Man in the World.

[@TheBlackAce2]

I love Weller's 1950's hipster-speak.

[@wwetnabamafan194]

If I ever met Peter Weller, I would love to discuss so many things other than RoboCop.

[@ScratchBuiltPro]

I thought Peter was going to be scary guy and hate Kevin, but he was so lovely. I didn't care that he hardly spoke about robocop, this man has lived ten lives by the sound of it.

[@mikemasiello5965]

I never realized what a genius he is.

He has such an incredible voice.

great actor peter weller

[@jesseenriquez4989]

😊 This is the longest interview; I have ever experienced listen. But let me tell you something, it’s worth every second, not just because I’m going Gaga over him as Robocop; but because I love the way he talks away from the cameras; and even though he kusses a lot, he is still a brilliant individual, and to me he will always be my favorite cyborg, Robocop.

[@jquest43]

I loved him in My Left Foot

[@DaveSimkiss]

One of the best interviews I've ever seen!

[@Rayvis79]

That was a terrific conversation! Get Weller back for part two!

[@4thecollectors]

Peter Weller Lou ferrigno Christopher Reeves Michael Keaton all icons in my eyes no CGI just pure talent

[@chrisorman73]

I cannot believe he did not address the fact that at this time he was voicing Batman in the animated movie adaptation of the novel by Frank Miller

[@zxbc1]

A footnote in Weller's life, for sure, that's why.

[@fuelerr]

What a cool cat. This is the 3rd time over I've watched this. Top 3 of all time KPCS shows. Weller is a true renaissance man.

[@AirwolfArchive]

you mean Batman right

[@champchamp3075]

I love Peter Weller!

[@brentulstad3275]

Wasn't expecting it, but would love to hear a discussion on William S. Burroughs and Naked Lunch with the great Mr. Peter Weller who was also featured in the WSB documentary A Man Within.

[@antonio_carvalho]

What great energy Peter Weller has, Robocop is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I thank him for that. The movie wouldn't be half of what it is without him.

[@Hereticbliss]

First off. I personally apologize to Kevin for apparently living under a rock. Love you. Love the show. Everything about it.

[@igorcosta1712]

This man is a gentleman .

[@Raining8s]

Such a great interview. What a cool cat! Also I love seeing my daughters in the fan video.

Weller is brilliant.

[@christopherfrost1820]

I could of sat through another 4 hours of peter weller

[@RWSCOTT]

a close friend's dad was at an early casting for Robocop. I remember when he came back from it he said the PR guy for the film company asked everyone to make sure if this was the right time in their career to play a robot, and that he talked a little w/Peter Weller and thought he was really cool, and that afterwards he (Weller) gave him a Hawkwind album, lol.

29:06 Peter scored HUGE points with me here - he’s right! I dated a college English professor once. Academia is fucked up in exactly the way he says it is.

Peter Weller should be on JRE!

[@brianl3766]

Jiminy Glick impression was funny ah.

[@adamquiles2468]

As much as I enjoyed Robocop he probably shouldn't have starred in it because he's a better actor where he can deliver dialouge like Dinero

RoboCop

[@lonkylaine]

Getting old (and balder) makes Peter look like Robocop when he got his helmet off but without makeup needed.

[@Ktas444]

Just goes to show how superficial and fake commercial television is. Never would have known how intelligent and culturally rich Peter is just watching Letterman or Tonite Show. Commercial TV makes these artists look like a bunch of money-grubbing, shallow capitalists only interested in promoting their stupid movie.Great to see them unmasked.Peter's one of the greats. PS: is Jamie Kevin's girlfriend? Cant read that one.

[@Ktas444]

Found out Jamie is Kevin's girlfriend. Hard to tell from the show.

Kevin has a good show, but whenever the subject of Woody Allen comes up, it's all accolades. Not one word about banging adopted daughters.

[@1971mav]

David Ames She was Mia Farrow's adopted daughter. He knew her since she was about 8 years old. That is creepier than hell.

[@eliotmccann2589]

21 minutes before we get to the guest we actually want to hear from? Poor form, balding wannabe. Poor form.

[@Bikewithlove]

Eliot McCann - It's free. You can skip ahead. It's nearly 2 hours of candid insight and great fun with Peter Weller. If it grieves you that Kevin has to work for his sponsors and supporters for 20 minutes to bring you Peter Weller, in a way that only Kevin can, then perhaps the problem isn't the show...

[@DarkDennis1961]

NO we dont get our heritage like that. thats silly. maybe its Jewish. As the son of a professional Genealogist. and a Historian myself. no. its not. Samm is right...

[@pinokiyo]

omg 2 hours long... No thanks. I could just watch the whole Robocop film.

[@jquest43]

Yawn

[@paulgee4336]

He's called ROBO Cop. MAYBE you should MOVE like a ROBOT. Ya think? That movie DOES NOT hold up well at all. It was cool back then, but now it is cringeworthy and just BAD.

[@russiancyborg4330]

It was far better than the snoozefest they call a remake.

[@AirwolfArchive]

What was it about it that didn’t hold up for you? It was a good, solid story, just let down by an unfinished suit. Outdated stop-motion effects and cheap practical effects aside, it’s got a lot going for it, in terms of drama, heart, psychology, emotion and humanity themes. The loss of family and identity. It wasn’t *just* an action film (as so many seem to view it).
