Episode 129: Interview with Krystle Martin (Cindy) from "The Mean One" (2022)

What an amazing interview with Krystle Martin! I was finally able to watch the movie, “The Mean One” starring her and David Howard Thornton. Although this movie has received a lot of negative feedback due to some individuals believing the Dr. Suess version was skewed, I can firmly attest that Krystle Martin and David Howard Thornton brought nothing but value to this film. Sure, it’s not the rated G version or Jim Carrey’s live action movie but the principle is still there. Yes, this is a macabre rendition of what we are used to, but the general consensus is going to have to get past that. Just talking to Krystle alone, I learned a lot about this movie and its meaning. Who cares that “The Mean One” is based on another version? To me, the macabre version is two hundred times better. In this exciting interview, Krystle delves into her favorite scenes and kills. Hers being the SantaCon kills in the restaurant… Not surprising it’s mine, also. It was a very creative kill scene and I have to believe that David Howard Thornton enjoyed that scene. Who wouldn’t? The chance to get rid of pompous customers due to their rudeness? That’s a server’s wet dream! To add while watching as the movie progressed to the climax (the final fight scene), I sensed a little Rocky-Home Alone mashup. The montage fighting, the home invasion preparation. Yeah, there’s definitely a mashup with the two movies. And Krystle is right, it’s nice to see directors paying a little homage to the movies we grew up watching. I, however, am very impressed with Krystle’s acting and talents. She performs her own stunts, and she has a plethora of skills she proudly exhibits in the movie. Kudos to her! I wish nothing but the best in her career and I hope she wins an award for this role. Be sure to follow her on Instagram for more up to date news and upcoming movies.
