Theo Von on 'The Diggers' Movie, Druski, Shane Gillis, and Self-Funded Film

The 'Digger' Movie Trailer

• 💡 The "Digger" movie trailer, featuring Theo Von, Druski, and Shane Gillis, was created about a year and a half ago.
• 🎯 Despite initial thoughts that it could be a "banger," Theo Von states that the movie will not be made.
• ⚠️ Von expresses relief that the movie won't be made, citing the discomfort of repeatedly saying the word "digger" in front of a predominantly Black audience during filming.

Filming Challenges and Druski's Role

• 🎭 Theo Von recounts being uncomfortable playing the role of a husband at his father-in-law's funeral, where he had to repeatedly use the term "digger."
• 🗣️ He felt increasingly uneasy after the sixth time saying the word, but Druski insisted he continue filming.
• 😅 Von humorously notes that some of his discomfort might have been attributed to a 40-hour fast and "racism trying to get out of me."

Possibility of Future Projects

• 🤝 While "The Diggers" movie is unlikely, Theo Von and Shane Gillis have discussed making something together via text.
• 🗓️ Scheduling conflicts and differing career aspirations are potential hurdles to future collaborations.
• 🌟 Shane Gillis flew in specifically to participate in the "Digger" trailer filming, which Von found to be a very cool gesture.

'Bus Boys' Self-Funded Film Project

• 🎬 Theo Von and Will Compton have self-funded and are currently editing a movie called "Bus Boys," based on their past experiences working as busboys in Arizona.
• 📚 They are learning a lot during the editing process, comparing it to Ben Affleck's experience of redoing a film after hating the first cut.
• 🤝 The editing process is challenging due to remote collaboration with their editor and David Spade, who lives in LA.
• 🤩 The project also involved other notable figures like Nate Diaz, making it a bizarre but cool learning experience.
