In the end, the online game adaptation Twisted Steel has been unleashed for followers with Peacock subscriptions, and all ten Season 1 episodes can be found to stream with engines revving as loudly as attainable. The sequence contains a slew of skeevy and suspicious characters, which undoubtedly contains the clown mask-wearing psychopath Candy Tooth, as portrayed on digital camera by AEW celebrity Samoa Joe, with Arrested Improvement nice Will Arnett offering the voice. CinemaBlend spoke with the professional wrestler about bringing Twisted Steel to life, and also you higher consider I requested him about filming that “Thong Track” scene with Anthony Mackie, as seen above.
As the primary little bit of prolonged footage to be launched for followers, Twisted Steel’s “Thong Track” clip was fairly the fascinating alternative, although it actually signified simply how off-the-wall and comedic the difference can be amidst all of the automobile chases and explosions. To not point out simply how banging the ‘90s-infused soundtrack is, with Sisqo’s booty-bouncing bop coming in pretty early. And once I requested if he was certainly singing together with the observe whereas filming the scene, Samoa Joe was fast to verify that he was not solely singing, but additionally going a little bit too exhausting with it. In his phrases:
Oh sure, I used to be singing the track. Loud very loud. Nearly a bit a lot, the place they’re like, you realize, ‘We’re having bother listening to Anthony hit his traces, so perhaps you wish to again down.’ However you realize, it is a jam. I do not know what they anticipate me to do. You possibly can’t do 80% on ‘The Thong Track.’ It is both 100% or you do not sing it.
Not gonna lie, I kinda love the thought of somebody as huge and hulking as Samoa Joe performing “Thong Track” at solely 30% or decrease. Simply mumbling the lyrics below his breath whereas slowly backing out of the room. However that is not a actuality that Joe lives in, and Candy Tooth is something however an introvert, so anybody watching that sequence can now attempt to think about each the wrestler harmonizing with Will Arnett’s voiceover audio.
Talking of, test it out under.
I really feel like that is the type of scene I might by no means pull off with only one take. Doing a “Thong Track” duet with anybody can be exhausting to maintain a straight face for, a lot much less when the opposite singer is a sweaty behemoth behind a clown masks. Would Sisqo himself be capable of?
I introduced up how nice Twisted Steel‘s track selections had been, with lots of them transporting me proper again to my teen years, and requested Samoa Joe if he had an opportunity to really watch the sequence and listen to all of the throwback tracks. This is what he informed me:
I’ve gotten to see the present. I have never seen the entire tracklist, and I have never heard the entire guidelines. However I’ve seen what we have performed with the present, and I am very happy with lots of the musical picks. It undoubtedly cuts out a slice of time that I feel numerous us bear in mind fondly.
It is attainable that he would have watched a number of the unfinished episodes with out all of the needle drops on the time of the interview, which passed off nicely earlier than the SAG-AFTRA strike started. Hopefully Joe has been in a position to meet up with the whole playlist within the meantime, and was in a position to belt the songs out with out concern of drowning Anthony Mackie out.
Whereas sporting no matter type of undergarments you select, no matter their capabilities of inspiring summer season bops, you’ll want to watch Twisted Steel’s full first season now streaming on Peacock. And head to our 2023 TV premiere schedule to see what new and returning exhibits shall be zooming up quickly.
