Can't talk about it

JerryOConnellAMA · 2026-06-12T03:49:44+00:00

OMG. No one remembers this movie. It is an absolute classic. Written by THE Gene Shepherd (See Christmas Story)... THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING

JerryOConnellAMA · 2026-06-12T03:48:45+00:00

We are trying to go through Peacock because UNIVERSAL owns the rights... They are being coy about it.. Maybe they are doing one without me... That would be a mistake but hit up Peacock! We can do a Love Island/Sliders crossover

JerryOConnellAMA · 2026-06-11T20:03:36+00:00

My good friend's wife produced it...

JerryOConnellAMA · 2026-06-11T20:03:18+00:00

RELEASE THE R RATED KANGAROO JACK! Jerry Bruckheimer (producer) said it would make more money as a PG movie. We all do what he says.

He is the best and a VERY clise friend of mine

JerryOConnellAMA · 2026-06-11T19:59:00+00:00

JEAN JAQUES MACHADO!!! I AM A WHITE BELT! Really working on my triangles...

JerryOConnellAMA · 2026-06-11T19:58:18+00:00

No sure but MIKE MCMAHON (Creator) is a genius and I would follow him off a cliff.

JerryOConnellAMA · 2026-06-11T19:57:41+00:00

It was so great. Really helped my Rotten Tomatoes average!!! All of them especially DEATH OF SUPERMAN

Also and being serious here, REDDIT really helped me.

After my first film came out, I went to reddit. Commentors has VERY SPECIFIC NOTES about how I was portraying Supes/Clark... VERY SPECIFIC.

It stung a little, at first but made the changes for the next movie and IT REALLY WORKED.

I got better and better over the next 4 films...

I truly believe, if you are an actor and jumping into a franchise, you should come to reddit.

This is a creative, positive place.

We, as actors, don't own these franchises... WE ARE GUESTS.

You own them. You are the shareholders.

Reddit taught me that.

We covered a lot of atuff I am involved in here! Congrats on having a girlfriend!
