This week on the podcast we are stoked to speak with Ramona Young, star of THE PRANK! We talk about her journey with her character - Tanner, her favorite moments from set, and so much more. We get into all the incredible chemistry (science pun intended) on set with improvisation, working with a legendary cast and crew, getting pranked, throwbacks to high school anxiety, hacking into Area 51, and our new favorite band - FROCK SWAP! Lets get into the nitty gritty of the making of this incredible film. Welcome to The Tremendous Talk Podcast, Ramona Young! 

Check out THE PRANK’s synopsis: Ben is your typical high-school overachiever. He’s organized, careful, goal-oriented, and extremely dedicated to school. His best friend, Tanner, couldn’t be more opposite. She is a lackadaisical, messy, slacker, who lives in the moment. They aren’t popular, but they don’t seem to care that much because they have each other. Ben has a stern, mean and cruel physics teacher, Mrs. Wheeler. She has been teaching at the school for decades and has a reputation for being the hardest, coldest, strictest faculty member. She fails Ben’s entire class unless a student who cheated comes forward. When no one does, Tanner and Ben hatch a plan to ruin her life and frame her for murder on social media.

THE PRANK is officially IN THEATERS NOW!

Happy Lunar New Year from The Tremendous Talk Podcast! This week on the podcast, we are so excited to chat with Brandon Soo Hoo and Kheng Hua Tan from “THE TIGER’S APPRENTICE” which is streaming NOW on Paramount+! Brandon, Kheng, and Ashley get into what the process was like going from voiceovers to press and the premiere, their personal zodiac animals, the family that this film has created amongst the cast, and so much more! And of course, it wouldn’t be Tremendous Talk without some bits of wisdom and advice sprinkled in as well! 

Based on the popular children’s book series of the same name by Laurence Yep, THE TIGER’S APPRENTICE follows Chinese-American teenager Tom Lee (Soo Hoo), whose life changes forever when he discovers he is part of a long lineage of magical protectors known as the Guardians. With guidance from a mythical tiger named Hu (Henry Golding), Tom trains to take on Loo (Michelle Yeoh), a force that is as powerful as a Guardian but with evil intentions to use magic to destroy humanity. To have a fighting chance against Loo, Tom must reunite all twelve Zodiac animal warriors and master his own newly discovered powers.
