We are on the set of "Space Werewolves."
It's a dream come true.
Pinch me.
Ow.
I said pinch, not punch.
I gave you what you needed.
Chill out, munch. Act like you belong here.
It's Ratchet! It's Tristan's copilot Ratchet!
I love him so much. I can't breathe, I can't breathe!
No no no. No!
Do not touch.
Your sister was nice enough to invite us to her movie set
for the production kickoff. Do not call attention to yourselves.
Oh uh!
Boys, I said don't touch.
I swear, you try to raise them right.
Welcome to "Space Werewolves"!
I'm Whitney Gurra, the producer, and we are thrilled to be here in Wisconsin.
And now let's meet our director Vic Defazerelli!
The studio wanted a young, hip director, but instead they went for handsome.
But enough about me and my three oscars,
you're here to see our star Liv Rooney.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, here's your exclusive first look
at Tristan Lycanth.
You mess with the wolf, you get the howl.
Ahh, I feel invincible.
There is literally nothing I can't do in this suit.
Except... Use the bathroom.
Do you really expect us to believe intergalactic hero Tristan Lycanth
When you see Liv in action, you will be a believer like we are.
In action? Are you saying she's going to do her own stunts?
Don't be crazy. No movie star does that.
Except for me! Yep.
Rooney is going to do all her own stunts in this movie.
What did I just say?
All my own stunts? The most dangerous thing
Was sing loud!
All right, Willow, tonight we hit the big time.
The semi-finals of the state championship!
- Go, porcupines! - Bam! What?
All right, girls, I want you to look deep inside yourselves
and ask this question...
Okay.
Does anybody need to use the bathroom before we get on that bus?
Dad, how about you coach the game and I will coach my bladder.
Hey, Maddie, I thought I would ride the team bus
with you to the game. Go porcupines!
Nope!
I'll just meet you there!
Okay, I got my rally finger and my tushy cushion.
Oh, I forgot my porcu-pom-poms.
Uh, mom, we really need to go, so.
Well, okay, but if there's a noticeable lack of school spirit,
do not point the foam finger at me.
Maddie, wait!
Oh, I forgot to wish you good luck at your game.
Go-o-o-d luck!
Thanks, Liv.
Wait! I'm sorry I can't it to your game,
but I'm filming the movie and I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you.
Oh, thank you.
Gotta go, see you.
I mean, with... with... with...
the state championship and then the junior Olympics,
you are just unstoppable.
And yet you keep stopping me.
What's wrong?
Okay, so I'm totally wigged out
because I told the world I would do all my own stunts.
- Now you're not sure you can handle it. - Right!
And if I chicken out, everyone's gonna think I'm a total fraud.
And you might never get another role like this.
- Oh, you know me so... - Well.
What do I do?
Okay, first, Liv, breathe.
Okay.
Ahhh.
It's not working!
Liv, when you get scared, just remember,
fear is just another reason to try harder.
And you are going to be an amazing space werewolf.
Thank you.
You always know what to say.
Now go get 'em, Mads!
Yay sports!
You too. Yay...
Pretending!
Gotta go.
All right, Liv. I guess you're a little nervous
because you had to open your big yap
and say, "I'll do my own stunts! I'll do my own stunts!"
But you're not gonna have to do anything tough,
except put up with this guy.
Just kidding, Mr. D! I love my job.
Oh well...
I'm not nervous.
That is my confident laugh.
Great. So when we shoot this scene tomorrow,
you will hop out crashed spaceship over there, run across the alien landscape
and use the pipe as a bridge over the chasm.
Um, I don't see a chasm.
This green will look like a chasm!
When we do the special effects.
And you never have to leave the ground.
Bada-bing, bada-boom, Bob's your Uncle.
Cut!
Um... uh, Vic,
these are my brothers.
They're really really really big fans of the graphic novel,
so I just told them that they could watch a little bit of filming
if they promised to be quiet!
Well, it's nice to have fans on the set.
So what do you think of the scene, boys?
Think you're ruining the greatest story ever told!
This is the most action-packed moment
in the graphic novel and you're gonna have her
skip over a puddle and pose for pictures?!
This is an abomination!
I have no idea what that word means, but if it means...
...then I concur!
So tell me, what am I doing wrong?
First of all, I'm not a fan of that shirt.
And ho ho!
We need explosions. We need death-defying stunts.
Oh...
Death... death-defying?
Tristan gets out of her ship, photon blasts blow up all over the place.
No no, that's not the way photons sound.
Whitney, be a photon.
Pew pew pew pew.
And she climbs to the top of the nuclear transponder and jumps!
I'm standing, but I'm on the edge of my seat.
What happens next? Tell me, tell me!
She makes the jump.
Grabs the glowing green eye of cantarus,
but gets blasted through the temple wall.
She emerges from the rubble, having saved the planet and howls.
Bada-bing, bada-boom, Bob's still your Uncle.
I love it! We've gotta shoot that scene.
Yeah, but... well, if you're scared, we can get a stunt person.
It's your call.
Um...
Liv Rooney is...
In!
...in way over her head.
I don't know which was a bigger mistake:
Saying I would do my own stunts or inviting you to my set.
Well, I find it helps to make a list.
- Maddie, are you okay? - She hurt her knee pretty bad.
I'm her father. I'm carrying her in.
- I got you, number five! - Whoa whoa whoa.
We're gonna take good care of you.
Would someone please tell me what happened to Maddie's knee?
It buckled when I hit the game-winning shot.
Oooh, buckled.
That is only good on belts and pilgrim hats.
She can't play in the championship.
Well, what about the junior Olympics?
It's all gone.
I mean, I tore my a.C.L. I'm... I'm... I'm gonna need surgery.
She's not gonna be playing basketball for quite a while.
This is all my fault.
If I hadn't stolen the ball and passed it to Maddie
to make the shot, this never would have happened.
Curse my lightning-quick reflexes!
Willow, don't beat yourself up.
Joey, this is no time for romance.
I don't deserve it.
Okay, just for a minute.
- How'd the surgery go? - It went really well.
What did you do to my house?
We made it so Maddie can get up the stairs in her wheelchair.
She's on crutches.
Oh.
Well, now she has something to look forward to when she's better. Whee!
There she is.
Maddie, it's Willow.
You're gonna get through this.
Willow, I had knee surgery.
Stop shouting!
I'm a jock.
And I thought I was invincible.
And I guess I'm not.
And that's scary.
Oh, honey.
Why couldn't it be me or you?
Or Joey? Wait, not Joey.
You?!
Ha! Hello.
Is this, uh... is this all necessary?
Depends. Can you fly?
If not, then yes.
So, Liv, we had Vic add one thing to the stunt scene.
When you're on the top of the tower, it's gonna collapse. Watch.
- Oh! - Ha ha, Whoo!
Oh, Vic, show her the explosions.
Explosions?!
Yeah, explosions... boom boom boom.
Okay, no. I need a stunt person.
Oh, but you told the world you'd do all your own stunts.
I'm not just some puppet that you can make dance.
Ahem.
I stand by my previous statement.
Ow!
I didn't think my recovery would be so hard.
I mean, when my favorite athletes get injured, they go away for three months,
they do a shoe commercial with some inspiring music,
and they come back good as new.
Maddie! Have you ever had a week where you just feel like
your whole world is ending?
Seriously?
Oh my gosh, ha ha. That was so insensitive of me.
You can hardly stand and I'm over here making this all about me.
Would it make you feel better about your injury
if you heard about my horrible day?
Go for it.
It's not like I'm gonna walk away.
Okay, but only because this is gonna make you feel better.
So! Maddie...
The new stunts that they have me doing are so scary
and I told them to get a stunt person because there is no way that I can pull it off.
- Good call. - What?!
This is where you give me a pep talk, yeah?
I mean you're the... you're the fighter,
you're the winner, so come on!
Pep talk me. Change my life.
Go. And...
Now!
Liv...
I don't feel like a fighter.
I mean, I definitely don't feel like a winner.
Ty sure I'm not even a basketball player anymore, so.
Wow.
Worst pep talk ever.
She was supposed to say something like,
"fear is just a reason to try harder."
I guess she was the one who needed a pep talk.
That would require major role reversal, but actress!
Okay, Maddie, this is the fear talking, yeah?
I mean, you're giving up before you even try and we...
we don't do that.
Oh, we don't?
Okay, um, did you try?
Or did you just, you know, call your stunt double?
We're both afraid.
She was right.
I realized the only way to help Maddie face her fear
was to overcome my own fears first.
Shhh.
Pew pew pew pew pew!
So awesome!
Sixth grade is gonna be such a let-down after this.
Okay, I win. All my darts were poisoned.
Let's make a movie! Where's my stunt-Tristan?
Oh, Mr. Defazerelli, he's right here.
That's him, huh?
Yeah, he doesn't look like Liv.
You think we could get a better match?
Oh oh, hang on. He's not in his wardrobe yet.
Go ahead.
Ahhh, now I see.
Yeah, we'll add the suit in later with special effects.
Wait, I'll do it!
I'll do the stunt.
Great, but, um, I thought you were scared.
Well, I... I am.
But I need to remind someone that fear is just a reason to try harder.
You heard the woman. Get outta here!
Fired.
Hey hey, where's the little guy?
We're about to shoot the scene.
Well, he decided he wanted to be in charge of explosions.
How would you like to yell "action"?
Oh, sir, I would be honored to yell action.
Win three oscars.
And...
Action!
Oooh!
You mess with the wolf, you get the howl.
Cut! That was perfect!
I did it!
I did all my own stunts.
Great! Let's do it again and we'll shoot it this time.
All right, Maddie, ready to do some physical therapy exercises?
Ooh, you know what? I have a better idea.
How about you do them and I watch?
Maddie, you have got to get up off that couch.
Your porcu-proud mom is gonna root for you.
Who's gonna do her exercises?
You are, oh, you are.
Yeah, who's gonna do her exercises?
- You you you. - Yeah, I don't think that's helping.
Oh hey, porcupines, how was the championship game?
Not so bad we only lost by 38 points.
I kept passing the ball to you and you weren't there.
You've got to get better. We need you next season.
Well, considering I can hardly stand long enough to take a shower,
I wouldn't depend on me for next season.
Maddie, you cannot give up on the one thing you love most in the world.
But I'm afraid I'll never get back to where I was.
Did somebody say afraid?!
Oh-hoo!
Check.
So, Maddie, I had something that I was afraid to do too.
But I did it!
Everybody check out the "Space Werewolves"
movie trailer.
Oooh.
Did somebody say "Space Werewolves"?
They came to our world to wipe us out.
There was no one left to save us but me.
I never wanted to be a hero.
They started this fight and I'm gonna finish it.
You mess with the wolf, you get the howl.
Oh, Liv, that was so awesome.
It's just too beautiful.
I am the mother of an action hero.
Wha...
You said that you were gonna get a stunt double.
- That was really you. - Yeah.
Well, I remembered something that you told me,
which is "fear is just another reason to try harder."
Thanks, Liv, that means a lot to me.
Yeah, whatever. Get up!
Yeah, Whoo!
- Come on, captain! - Girl!
Come on, Maddie, this could be your biggest "bam-what" moment ever.
Yeah, bam! What?!
- Bam! What?! - Oooh.
Bam! What?! Whoo Whoo Whoo.
- Bam! What?! Whoo Whoo Whoo. - Okay okay okay!
Stop stop!
I'm getting up, but only because you are all so annoying.
Ready?
- Let's go, captain. - You got it, you got it. Take it easy.
She's up, whoop whoop whoop, she's up!
I think, I think, I think the moment is over, mom.
Not quite.
Oh, Maddie, you know I love you so much.
But how long has it been since you've taken a shower?
She stinks, whoop whoop whoop, she stinks!
Whoop whoop whoop, she stinks!
Whoop whoop whoop!
I cannot believe they left the doors open to this set.
Hey, I bet you could get rigged up in that harness
and do the same jump Liv did.
Hook me up.
Make me proud, big brother.
Whoo, I am Tristan Lycan...
Lycanth.
I got ya!
What is happening?
Hey, Joey!
Willow!
Parker, you sold me out for 20 bucks?!
It's really not about the money. It's more about what the money can get you.
Have fun.
