I first met Ronda Rousey and Pauly Shore when we worked together on a Star Wars spoof called “Encino Man in Space.” Rousey plays a female version of Hans Solo who wisecracks her way around the universe with her sidekick Encino Man selling carbon credits to outposts of the galaxy. She is known for dispatching space trash with her patented Iron Arm Bar move followed by a Tombstone Piledriver. Pauly plays and older, exhausted version of Luke Skywalker who was recruited to battle the Empire because he was kicked out of his Tuesday mah-jongg game and was available. I play a chubby Darth Vader character with an outfit made of old hockey equipment and a mining helmet. SPOILER ALERT: In a comedic twist Pauly gets into an epic battle with me and I say, “Pauly, I am your father, Sammy Shore.”
