When asked why he believesTommy Boydoes, Peter Segal shared,I think it wasnt just about the jokes.

Theres a sweetness to the movie that I think made it resonate.

That,the director continued,and the fact that its probably Chris best work.

But the new 4K is like putting glasses on.

But then, I had no idea how the story was going to end.

and Spade said, No, your face does.

I said, Ah.

That was actually Chris taking the hit.

He said, Thats not me.

Thats not how I walk.

… so, he had to do everything.

There was a whole sequence with him trying to sabotage a water tower.

The worst part?It didnt even make the cut,Segal said.

Created byLokishow creator Michael Waldron,Heelsexplores the lives of independent wrestlers.

And then [Dave] Bautista, of course, on the My Spys.

But I got to explore it in a different way, and the behind-the-scenes of it.

Thats why I was attracted to that.
