Too Opinionated Interview: Happy Endings Funeral Parlor


Listen Later

Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with the team behind the short film Happy Endings Funeral Parlor.

Directed by Kevin Boston, the film stars actor and producer Zachary Roozen, who has appeared in over 70 film festivals and is known for Romeo and Juliet Killers (2022), Into the Dark (2018) and Happy Endings Funeral Parlor and Kyle Ricchetti, a multi-hyphenate actor, writer, and producer known for his work on Amazon and Hulu. Together, they present the theme of death from a unique childhood perspective, slipping into humor as a coping mechanism—a perspective that Ricchetti draws from his own personal experiences. Happy Endings Funeral Parlor also stars lead actor Trevor Larcom best known for True Detective (2014), Fresh Off the Boat (2015) and Thunder Force (2021).

Johnny and Marcell Remo are two brothers managing a failing funeral parlor for their oddball Uncle Nicky. Set against the backdrop of rural Iowa and tasked with transporting the body of notorious mobster Frankie Bananas to his funeral service, everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Due to their hasty negligence and erratic driving, the casket springs loose and flies out of the hearse onto a busy city street! After hitting a pothole the body of Frankie Bananas goes airborne and crashes into an innocent family's car windshield. The family, in panic, believes they have hit a man walking innocently down the street.

As tensions rise back at the cemetery between Uncle Nicky and Frankie's son Tony, the brothers must think on their feet and deliver the body promptly and in one piece. Tony, near breaking point, becomes more hostile with poor old Uncle Nicky, threatening him with physical force.

Following the chaos of the car accident, the brothers finally arrive at the cemetery. The two groups wind up in a scuffle over the incident. After cooling down, the service is finally able to commence, or is it? Will the Remo family business go down in flames? Will the mafia seek revenge for the incident?

Happy Endings Funeral Parlor... the film people are dying to see.
