Episode Transcript

Unknown (00:00):
Well, I was like, Oh, this is meant to piss everybody

(00:03):
off.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I break yourconcentration
somewhere between science andsuperstition.
So have such sites to show you.

(00:31):
Strange eons. Welcome tostrangeeons radio. That is Eric
over there, hello, and that isVanessa over there, hello, and I
am Kelly gang. It is so nice tosee you all in person. Yes,
glad you're feeling better, andyeah, or hope you're feeling
better. I guess,yes, I am feeling better.
Actually, I'm glad we talkedabout this before I showed up.
Yes, now I'm feeling good. Hey,I was just reading something,

(00:54):
and I don't know if you guyshave read this, that the guy who
runs AMC Theaters is calling outthe studios for their short
release windows in theaters. AndI did not realize this was a
studio decided thing, even. Andso he's saying he would like
them to have longer windows. Iunderstand that, and the reason

(01:18):
that they are not is because thestudio gets 50% of the profits
when it is in the movie theater,and they they split that within
the theater chain right when itgoes to video on demand, rentals
and stuff, they get 80% of theprofits. So a lot of this stuff

(01:40):
we're even seeing about boxoffice is bullshit, because they
make up so much of that on theirvideo rentals. Oh,
interesting, yeah, that makes itreally hard to tell if movies
are profitable, right? Anexample of that going way back
fortwo or three people we have that

(02:02):
listen to us, that are under 35the video release used to be a
really big, big deal for that.
And when I was working atSuncoast, we didn't rent, we
sold. So when Dances with Wolvescame out, it was $100 movie,
right? And that was true foralmost all movies sell through

(02:22):
to direct to a low price is veryrare. So you'd have it in the
theater for as long as thetheater could hold on to it,
which could be up to, I mean, inthat time, up to years,
sometimes, like in the 70s and80s especially. And then for a
while it was a video rentalblock, which was usually a
minimum of six months. So sixmonths to a year, buying that

(02:43):
movie would cost you 100 buckson VHS. And then at some point,
then DVD came out, and thestudio said, we're not doing
rentals on DVDs. We're goingstraight to sell through and
that's the only way you can getit. So, sorry, Blockbuster, you
don't get your little window ofopportunity. And from there, you
know, they just keep shrinkingand shrinking and shrinking and
drinking. And I think the,obviously, the lockdown had a

(03:07):
severe impact on that, and thenstudios probably went, Oh, wow.
You know what? We still made acrap ton of money releasing it
on max or whatever during thattime when we didn't have a
theatrical release. Sowould you like to take a guess
at what the average length ofstay in a theater is for a big

(03:28):
movie last year?
God, I'd be surprised if it'sover 30 days.
I was gonna say 30 days.
32 days is the average. Wow.
Companion, 18 days before itwent to video on demand. Oh, man
and Deadpool. Wolverine, 67days, which is the highest

(03:49):
number,so once it goes on. VOD, does
that mean they're pulling itfrom chains, or just means
people are less likely to go andsee them at chains.
Well, like for companion, it wasonly in the theater for 18 days.
That'scrazy. Well, I'm glad I saw it.

(04:09):
Holy hell. So just interestingstuff there, as we're seeing the
world change, the industrychange, and it's got to
be really frustrating, too,because I'm noticing, of course,
each year, right before theOscars, the theaters are flooded
with all these movies. Hey,again, yeah, come and see all
these films that we're about totalk about on the award season.

(04:32):
And it's got to be sofrustrating to be like I wanted
to program you before, and Ionly got you know however many
days out of it. Now I have tofigure out how to fit you into a
two week slot randomly. Beforeyou know, the Oscar season.
That's makes like the terrifiertoo specifically, really
impressive, because they theypushed almost two months of

(04:55):
indie thing. Just saying, Nope,we're going to keep in theater
and keep it in theater. Yeah. Imean. Yeah, there's a lot of
cache to that. As an independentfilmmaker, right? That universal
doesn't care about, yeah, but Inoticed terrifier Three did not
do that. It came out and it hada regular site, whatever the
window was, it was definitelynot, oh, we're holding it over

(05:17):
for another two weeks. I don'tremember that happening at all
for three so then probably,okay, this happened. Now we're
going to go a differentdistribution model that's going
to generate more income for us,right? Yeah, that one, that
one's a weird one too, becauseit it costs so little, yeah, to
make. And then, you know,however long was in the

(05:39):
theaters. Had to pay foreverything that it cost and
more. So they were able to kindof turn that into a stunt stay
or something like that. Yeah, soI don't know, just interesting
stuff,yeah, wow, yeah. Well, I'm still
going to theater. So I don'tknow, I
appreciate that I saw somemovies, guys, good, good. One

(06:02):
that you're both going to wantto see, especially you, Vanessa,
I saw George A Romero's ResidentEvil. What is this? This is a
documentary, okay, about thefact that George Romero was
making a movie based on thevideo game and and it all fell
apart. I remember when this washappening. Oh yeah. And it's

(06:25):
super interesting because itstarts out with the creation of
the game. The documentary doesand talks all about that. And
they talk about how the game wasso influenced by Night of the
Living Dead and Dawn of the Deadand so by Resident Evil two,
that's when they started talkingabout a movie, and Romero got

(06:48):
involved, and apparently hisscript was full of all the stuff
from the first two games. Wow.
And they were all very excitedabout it and all this. But then,
you know, a few things change,and all of a sudden it, you
know, falls apart and goes towhat was that? Paul WS Anderson,
and completely changed it, yeah,it sounds sort of like a

(07:15):
slightly different but a versionof Joe taraski dune documentary,
yeah, notnearly as in depth as that, but
it is still very, veryinteresting. And I just think
Vanessa, you will get a kick outof watching all of these eight
bit graphics that were what theywere originally basing the game
on, and then all of a sudden,PlayStation and all of this and,
and I was watching this going,Oh yeah, you know, I had a

(07:39):
Playstation and that was one ofmy favorite games to play. And
I'm looking at the graphics onthis now, going, Oh my God. I
remember, you know, playing thisin the dark and being freaked
out. Yeah, it looks so awful.
Doom. Was that for me, that samekind of period, and you go back,
oh, really, that was a creepygame. 100% isn't your husband

(08:01):
like a massive Resident Evilfan? He
is. Yeah, he's a huge ResidentEvil fan. But yeah, I mean, he
bought the box set with theumbrella on him, whatever, and
we're making our way through.
They all darled. They're allblending together for me. But as
somebody who works in games likeI find that super interesting,
because, you know to like, youalways want to see there's a

(08:23):
possibility of carpenter doingdead space, and you're like,
because he loves the game, andlike, Oh my God, just let him do
it, even if it's awful, let himdo it. You know, you just there
are these moments where the twoworlds intersect, and it's just
such an easy place to do thatin. So I don't know that sounds

(08:44):
really fascinating to me, so I'dlove to check that
out. Yeah, it is a rental, butit's cheap rental. It's like 299
and it really, really worth yourtime. Really interesting stuff.
It is called George A Romero'sResident Evil. All
right, I'm writing it down rightnow. Well, I checked out a movie
that I think Eric had talkedabout last week, which was the

(09:05):
monkey I did, yeah, yeah. It'sso fucking good. Like, yeah,
okay, that that's a comedy I canget behind. I don't know why,
which is weird, because it'sfairly slap sticky. It is,
I don't know what it is that Idon't like about comedy that,

(09:27):
like, I hate in most, especiallyhorror comedy. Fuck I hate so
much horror comedy. Sorry, it'sso bad. But this, maybe it's
just intention, like, this wasjust really, like, a lovely
film, like, about bad thingshappening to people. And I heard

(09:47):
an interview with the filmmaker,which was really cool, where he
was saying, you know, when I wasgrowing up, all these horrible
things were happening. I thinkhe lost a lot of people in his
life through, like, insanetragedies. And he was like. You
know, you think that it's justyou, and then as you get older,
you realize that it happens toeverybody. And he was like,
that's kind of where the heartof this movie came from. And I

(10:09):
was like, That's so incredible,because you can see that all
over it. It's not just aboutpeople just imploding in crazy
ways, which is pretty funny,like they don't a lot of them
don't suffer. They don't havetime. A couple, the aunt suffers
quite badly.
But there's also one of thefunnier segments, I think, in

(10:30):
the whole thing,the swimmer. I thought that was
about, you even have time? Yeah,no suffering there, you know?
But yeah, there was just, um,there's a couple, like, loosey,
weird little strands in therewhere you think something's
gonna go somewhere, and thenthey just lose it. But for the
most part, just a really strongfilm. I love the talent in it,
the guy who's the lead in there.

(10:52):
I have not seen him and stuff,but he's so good that we started
watching the gentleman now, justto, like, watch something he's
in. He's great. He'spretty good,
man. I've still not seen this,but I really want to you should,
sounds like it jumped the linereal well for you, where he sat
on that weird line for me, ofWell, it's kind of this really

(11:12):
supposed to be but, you know, Ialso saw it at 10am with three
other people. So, you know, Idid see it at like, 10pm with
probably through other people.
You know, shocker, I'm on abunch of Stephen King pages on
Facebook, and this movie hasdivided the fans. Some of them

(11:34):
absolutely love it, and some ofthem really fucking hate it.
Careabout what Stephen King thinks,
because, like, Stephen King'sreally, really loves us. So I
don't, do youwant to say the opinion of
Stephen King for movies,say that they don't put a lot of
faith into him saying somethingnice about adaptations, I
was curious, because, like, itis wild, like that the where he

(11:56):
decides how he feels aboutdifferent adaptations of his
stuff.
I think that when they know he'sgoing to be interviewed, because
he's a fucking rock star, and sothey probably give him a little
extra money and a contract thatsays, You can't bad mouth the
movie wells in theaters. Ohsure. So he you can tell when he

(12:18):
says, you know, these kind ofroundabout compliments for like
the Dark Tower. He's like, Well,it's not what I wrote, but they
got to the same ending. Youknow? It's stuff like that.
Okay,there's also a period for a few
years, largely in the videoboom, where I love this movie.

(12:38):
This is the best horror filmever created, and with some
exceptions, like his love ofEvil Dead, it usually meant this
movie's probably not gonna be,yeah, he just said, you see his
write ups on a lot of stuff too,like, like books and things.
Like, ifyou could get Stephen King to

(12:58):
say, well, frankly, anythingabout your book? Yeah, even if
he said this book sucks. StephenKing, yeah, I'm putting that out
there.
The other thing is that if youlook at, like, Maximum Overdrive
or creep show two films, he hada big, strong hand in he likes

(13:19):
silly horror. He likes, youknow, over the top Tales from
the Crypt kind of stuff. And sothat's the, that's his taste in
movies. So if it's over the topand silly, I think that he loves
that kind of shit, yeah? Sowe probably honestly like this
one. Yeah, that's cool, yeah.
Oh, alright. Well, you shouldcheck it out. I need to, yeah,

(13:41):
as you know, moving in with my83 year old father in law has
altered my watching televisionseverely. But one of the really,
really great things to come outof this is this series called
Vera, which is British, the BBCshow. They, I forget, I know
they're not called series orseasons over there. They're like

(14:03):
reversed, but whatever it is,it's got like, 15 seasons, and
each season is only like four orfive episodes, because they're
90 minute episodes. And thestars Brenda blythin, who's won
an Oscar before, she was inPride and Prejudice and secret
lies and holy shit, she isphenomenal. She does these

(14:26):
expressions and these cutelittle noises when she's like to
react to things, and it's justPitch Perfect. And some all the
episodes are well done. Some ofthem are phenomenal. I one of
them two or three episodes backwere somewhere in like ninth or
10th season. I like, Who thefuck directed this one, because

(14:48):
it gorgeous shot after gorgeousshot. And this they do, you
know, the police proceduralthing where they're all in the
room and they've got their boardand they talk about that. And He
came up with this fascinatinglooking shot part, which used
the lights, the hanging lightsfrom the ceiling, to frame it

(15:09):
in, like a V way. And so I waslike, who thinks of that? This
is, who is this guy? And all Icould find is just, he does a
lot of BBC TV, so occasionallythere's, there's a nice budget
in this show, because itsometimes it looks at least mid
level theatrical all the time.
And depending on who's eitherwritten the episode or directing
the episode, it goes above.

(15:30):
She's always great. She is nevera sour note. There's a one
season, one of the almostnothing bad happens to the cops.
They seem to change a lot ofactors, but one season, one of
them got shot, and her facialreaction to her officer dying
was just devastating. I'm justlike, Oh, my God, this is

(15:52):
amazing. It is. It's a fantasticshow. Apparently, it's in its
last season. It's still going,but this is its last year. But
does that mean that it has beenon for 15 years more or less?
Wow, that's long for a BBC show,except for Doctor Who

(16:13):
forever? Yeah, well, Vera, Iassume it's based off of the
same material that the film wasthere was like, Okay, there's a
film that was, I believe,British, that came out years
ago, and my original editingmentor cut it. So, yeah. So

(16:34):
it's, yeah, it was kind of acool, one of those cool projects
that was out there.
Yeah, I wonder if it's based onthe same idea, or they
don't say anything here in thelisting, referencing the book
doesn't mean anything. Yeah, theand sometimes, like the one we
watched last night, justunbelievably depressing. The
storyline that by the resolutionlike, and it's nice because, you

(16:57):
know, you watch Americanprocedurals, and the end of Act
One, beginning of Act Two, youpretty much know who it's going
to be. And they do a great,weird little trick thing, where,
whenever they talk to somebody,and if it goes like, I'm not
sure where they may they alwaysdo a long shot, if the person

(17:18):
standing there watching lookinglike suspicious or interested or
just something to make youremember that person, as opposed
to a law and order, whatever.
There's the always, okay, yeah,it's gonna be this guy, this guy
who shows up, kind of sayssomething and then disappears,
you never see him again, thatthat's the person it's gonna be,
yeah? But that does not happenin this show. So if you like

(17:40):
mystery shows at all, Vera it's,I think it's just on brick box,
the British one, but well worthit. You know, take the two week
free whatever, and watch ashitload of really good mystery
shows. Yeah,there's, I think that's one of
the things I miss the most aboutliving in the UK, is they had

(18:02):
such quality television. Andthen you come over here and you
don't hear anything about it,and I'm like, I know there's so
much cool stuff that's justexisted that I have no concept
of. Butfor the Sci Fi and horror stuff
makes it over here, the genrestuff will make it over but a
lot of the general buteven things like ghosts and what
was the what was the show withthe like it was a werewolf, a

(18:26):
ghost and a vampire, humanbeing, human that took a long
time to get here, and then whenit did, we immediately adopted
it. But like I'd seen that Iages before it showed up here.
So I don't know it's,yeah, well, get Brit box re
plugged in.

(18:50):
I just canceled so manysubscriptions. I'm going through
my taxes, and I'm like, Oh myGod, why am I paying for all
this bullshit? Yes, yeah, if Icould cancel Hulu, I would do
it, and I'm fucking hate thatit's so linked into Disney. Now
theassholes, I figures we're about
five years away from havingComcast level. Yeah, Paramount's
buying this company, andDisney's buy what is it? ESPN,

(19:12):
Hulu, CB or not, CS, AB, NBC,ABC, whoever Disney's, yeah,
yeah, we're getting there.
Man, being human, I kind of wantto do a full rewatch. I know
it was good. Did you watch thewas it the American one or the
British one that you I watchedthe British one because I had
watched the American one. But Ihave to admit, I like the

(19:34):
American one,but I think I need to watch the
American one because the Britishone ends in like, such a weird
way that it was a real bummer tome. So us. One
is was a lot more fun. Thecharacters were a lot it was a
lot more fun to watch. Yeah, theBritish one was
oddly serious, yeah, it was veryserious, yeah. There was a lot
of, like, depressing moments,and I remember it being a real

(19:57):
bummer, yeah, yeah. Yeah,okay. Well, then also you guys,
you got to be on top of this. Idon't know if Marth likes this,
the new season of reacher.
I have been on topwatched it yet, but
I am planting seeds. I think, Ithink, I mean, I don't care if

(20:19):
we got to go back and watch thefirst two seasons, but I'm
pretty sure we can get him towatch that one, yeah, but the,
the Vera things kind of, but,God, I think we got, like, less
than a couple weeks left worthof episodes. So okay,
well, it's, it's great, youknow, I, I didn't love season
two, and this one is already,you know, four episodes in much,

(20:44):
much better. It feels like to meI don't love it. No, no, okay. I
read the book The second one wasbased on, and I can see I know
why the second season wasn't asgood, because that book wasn't
this. Oh, that's true. Idon't know if they're
continuing. I don't know whatbook this one's based on.

(21:05):
It actually says what book itis. And I can't remember now,
and I've never read any of thebook, so I can't tell you if
they're close or not, but I justlike him, yeah, you know, he's
just this huge fucking dude cando anything mostly because of
his size, yeah. And they finallyfound somebody bigger to

(21:29):
trailer, yeah.
And I the the FBI agent that heis working with, it has taken me
a long time to warm up to her,but, yeah, I'm starting same and
I like it. What don't you likeabout it?
I don't like the FBI agent. Ithink her accent is a big

(21:50):
what is her accent? It's like,almost like,
it's a New Jersey. Or, like, No,I think it's supposed to be
Maine. Maine, really, yeah. Butshe she falls in and out of it.
So I'm like, might have been agood idea to just not have this.
Yeah, it's really irritating.
The my first comment was like, IPlease don't make me watch them
have sex. I know, but it's soawful.

(22:16):
Oh, rachel,my eyes and ears for that whole
thing, because I was like, oh,fuck, man, I can't like, she's
not an unattractive woman, butevery time she opens her mouth,
I'm like, Oh, stop, please. Thething is, she's not a gorgeous
woman either. She's not gorgeouswhat you would expect for his
leading lady seasontwo. You're like, I get it,

(22:38):
yeah, I get it, no. And I thinkbetween that and we're sort of
stuck in this location that I'mnot psyched about. Like, some of
the characters I feel like are alittle I don't know, it's just
not hitting some notes for me, Ido like the relationship between
him and the Son, yeah, I thinkthat whole story with just the
kid specifically, is reallycool, but like the dad and like

(23:01):
the the guy who is the mainmain, main guy, I'm like, main
main, main main guy. Did youjust see the barn
the most recent episode? No,I think that just came out,
right? Yeah, I have not seenthat one. Yeah,

(23:21):
it's hard for me to marrytogether. The like, this guy is
a psychopath, crazy, horribledude, and you're like, I don't
know he's like, kind of a lameAsian man who I wouldn't I don't
think I'd want to talk to at aparty, but I don't know that I'd
be like, concerned about, like,the safety of anyone within

(23:42):
like, a, you know, one mileradius of him. Like, I just, I
don't buy this guy, so, yeah, Ithink I'm more with you on it. I
really don't as long as thatguy. Alan, yeah, it's playing
that character, no reach,whatever kind of runs into,
yeah, okay, no. I mean, there'sa reason why I'm still watching
it like he's fucking awesome. Nomatter what situation you put

(24:05):
him in, he's great. So thereis some shockingly bad acting so
far in this, mostly from the FBIagent. Yeah, her reaction
sometime will be like, yeah, wasshe directed to do that? Or did
they finally just go, she's notgoing to do any better than that
well. And like, her assistantkid guy isn't very good either.

(24:25):
He's all big reactions too,yeah, and I think some of the
mob guys are like that. So yeah,some of the mob guys, I was
like, sounds like,I don't like it, but I do like,
also Anthony Michael Hall as asthe bad guy. Oh, all right, as
the as the Dad, did yourecognize it not put that
together. Always nice to seeAnthony Michael Hall still

(24:46):
getting work. So weird.
Now I have to his villain takesbefore he's played a villain a
few times. Oh, I have not hedoes alright with it. Crazy.
Yeah.
Reacher. John prime, cooland I saw a movie that we talked
about ages ago. Finally gotaround to watching strange,

(25:08):
darling, good which, yeah, I'mso glad I finally saw because it
was on everybody's lists forlast year, and, you know, has
been so hyped. Yeah, yeah. Itwas definitely not what I
expected it to be. There werethings I really loved about it,
like, I think the editing isamazing. That's true. I love the

(25:28):
way the story unfolds. I just,yeah. I really, really dig that
the core of what the story is. Ithink I was like, okay, all
right,yeah, that's kind of me too,
yeah. Like, I was sort of, youknow, once you once you know,
you're like, all right. And Ihad that moment where I was

(25:51):
like, Is that gonna be, what isthis gonna be a twist? And I was
like, okay, that's what thetwist is. And now I have to
spend time with you. But, butthe overall, very strong movie,
very, very strong movie. Ithought it was going to be more
like, what was that one with thegirl who goes to the guy's place

(26:12):
and he kidnaps her and he'schopping up these girls for
their body parts and sellingtheir meat. Oh, wow,
that does not ring a bell. Oh,she's,
like, on a she's also on like, abad date, and they'd like,
run sweetheart or something likethat. The
real rich kind of takes her outin the woods. Yeah, that
was, I like, that art on hiswall, yeah? Like, I thought it

(26:35):
was gonna be more in that vein,but it's a, I don't know it's,
it's a very different version.
Well, what I'd said before, thereason it kind of hit me weird
is there, and this is justwatching festival films that
that storyline, that idea, hasbeen done. I get two or three a
year, every year where thattwist is the storyline, yeah, so

(26:56):
it's like 510 minutes, and thenwe're going, I hope this isn't
going to move up. It's exactlywhat I think it is. But it is,
but I still enjoyed because theperformance were so good, and
what they were doing was so muchfun to watch
again. Like, the way it unfoldedreally helps, like, any kind of
frustration with that. Like, Ifeel like it really was neat to

(27:17):
see, like, Okay, I like howthey're manipulating this story
to be told in one way and thenanother. There was a lot of neat
things going on in there.
Definitely well worth, wellworth seeing. Yeah,
strange darling. Is that, uh,just streaming now, I think I
rented it. I think it's stillaround two, $3 Yeah, but
yeah, I don't think anybodyrental got it. I'm sure shutter

(27:39):
will eventually pick it up. Itseems like a shutter film. Yeah,
so way off genre. Watched a filmcalled free solo I've wanted to
watch for a really long time youjust never have, which is the
story of a guy, Alan Hannah, whowants to climb El Capitan in
Yosemite with no ropes. Holyshit. This movie is awesome.

(28:04):
It's so intense and it's sowild. He is such a weird guy.
He's a really interesting,strange, but kind of likable in
his goofiness. And hisgirlfriend helps, because she's
just funny and interesting onscreen, and the group, the
people around him, and there'sthe part, I'm glad they went

(28:27):
there, because I'm watching thisgone. How the hell do you shoot
this right? And they've been,they, they covered the camera
guys a little while, and themtalking about, What the What do?
What if we show him we'reshooting, and he falls, and it's
just like, and they built thetension so well. I mean, it's a
movie, you know, he succeeds. Soit's sort of like that movie

(28:49):
years ago with the guy walkingacross the high tower in still.
It's like, and it's so well doneand so thoroughly enjoyed this.
This was on your favorite Hulu.
But if it's not just a sportsmovie, it's that conquering

(29:11):
concept of doing something noone's ever done before. And I
mean, I've done enough climbingthat I get the idea. But my
version of the rock climbinghe's done was probably, like,
four or five bodies high. Whereyou the side of it is 1000s and
1000s of feet. It's just like, IOh, man, it was so cool. So

(29:35):
highly, highly recommend. Didthey, like, strap a bunch of
GoPros on this guy? Or, like,how did they get it's all, he
hasthree or four camera guys, and
it looked like they went throughin key spots. It looks like
you've seen it, yeah, okay. Itlooks like they went in key
spots and just knocked in acamera, right? So just get a
general shot. But they had,what, three, at least three
camera guys, yeah, that werefollowing him around. And, uh.

(29:58):
Yeah, becauseI imagine every time you see
something like, I was thought itwas funny, with amazing race,
you're like, okay, yeah, you'rerunning and whatever, but
there's a guy next to you withall that camera running right
next like, I'm sorry, anythingyou think you're doing cool
right now is nowhere near asgood as what that guy's doing.

(30:21):
I hated this moviebecause I, as I've gotten older,
you know, I always had kind of aslight fear of heights, and as
I've gotten older, I've got ahuge fear of heights now. And
there's, it's such a difference,like I can go up to the Space
Needle and stand on the glassfloor, no problem, but there's
that idea of being, you know, onthe edge of a cliff, yeah, with

(30:44):
nothing to hold on to, thatreally terrifies me now. And so
watching that just amped myanxiety up so much. It is a
really good movie, but I wasjust like, I will never watch
this again. And then you wentand talked about a movie, oh,
the one with the Roman Yeah, andI saw the trailer for it, and I

(31:04):
was like, fuck this. Now, thismovie will destroy me. I've
managed to do the same thing tomyself with claustrophobia.
We're watching so many films,starting with the descent, and
then these films where peopleget in. And I I've never felt
claustrophobic, but now I see athing feel that like, like when

(31:26):
they go in the the I've seen afew places use it for just
investigation stuff, but thosethe Vietnam underground tunnel
things, where they drop intothese little holes about that
big. I was like, Oh my god. Soyeah, but for some reason,
height, and maybe it is myteenage years of climbing,

(31:50):
adrenalizes me. It. I find itreally, really interesting, so
it makes me feel sick, yeah,immediately, yes, it's
one of the biggest. I mean,heights is one of the top
phobias, yeah,yeah, no, it's, it's definitely
real. I went to Grand Canyon twoyears ago. Oh, wow. And it's one
of those things where it's like,yes, it's majestic, and it's one
of the great wonders of theworld. I literally was staying

(32:12):
like, you are there, you're youcan just tumble, yeah, like,
there's nothing stopping youfrom just dying all the time.
And so at one point, I justturned around and looked at like
the little grass patch next tothe parking and there were some
squirrels. And I was this iscool. Watch

(32:34):
the squirrels go up and downthe tree. I also much better. I
also grew up next to Snake Rivercandy, which I guess is like one
of the top five BASE jumpingareas in the world. Now, I mean,
you cannot go by there on adecent weather day and not see
four or five people back intheir thing, some guy walking
out and people all the time.
Wow. And so, yeah, I grew upwith that, you know. And of

(32:59):
course, they didn't do that.
It's funny too, because, like,I'm, I don't have any problem at
all with water, like, that'shaving grown up on an island.
I'm, like, if I fall off a ferryboat, I'll probably be okay.
It's really the cold that'sgoing to get you or, you know,
and even, like, large bodies ofwater and stuff, it doesn't
really wake me up, or being in alake, like, because that was

(33:20):
what I did every day of summerfor my whole childhood through
18. So it that kind of stuffdoesn't so I think you're right.
I think there's something aboutexposure and just normalizing
something that, like withheights like that has never been
but as a kid, yeah, it was nobig deal. I used to climb up
like the little see through wirestairs to, you know, the topic,

(33:43):
cathedrals and, you know, littlemountainy things. And it was
fine, so I don't know Anyway,that was a tangent.
Very special, strange.
We take a little break, I cancalm down. And then when we come
back, we are talking aboutanimation of some kind. Yeah,

(34:09):
Best topic ever you shall bonds.

(34:57):
We have returned Vanessa i. Istill don't quite understand
this topic. I don't know how youdon't understand this topic.
Explain it to me and everybody.
Allright, so animated films, any
form of animation that includesstop motion, claymation,
whatever, animated movies, plus,if you want, if there's no

(35:17):
animated films out there onplanet earth that you guys want
to watch, which sometimesthere's not, because you fight
me on animation every time thatit can even be a small segment
of a normal live action movie, alive action movie like better
off dead, that has stop motionelements in it. That would be
okay. That would be acceptable.

(35:39):
Is this making any sense.
I will push back the little inmy thinking, in the
interpretation, because this wasall text based stuff. I thought
you meant a live action moviethat had some form of animation
in it. Oh, my God, not a fulllet's see. It wasn't just Kelly.
I was like, Okay, I'm just gonnado one that's got animation in
it, which is what I ended updoing,

(36:01):
because you guys were doingthat. And I was like, No, I'm
trying to make this easier. AndKelly's like, how is this
easier? And I was like, I don'tknow how it's harder at all.
This is pretty much every movieon Earth to an extent. I mean,
it'd be nice not to justwe couldn't do opening credits,
right?

(36:22):
Because Come on, there's enoughout there
making me miss the days of fog.
Vanessa, why don't you start usoff? I'm giving you five
minutes. That's agreat topic. Um, all right, so I
went with the movie from 2001Millennium actress this fall,

(36:51):
experience One of the mosthighly anticipated anime films.
Millenniumactress, from the director of
Perfect Blue Satoshi Kon comesthe story of a legendary
actress, the mystery of her pastand the search for the key that
will unlock a lifelong secret.

(37:21):
Winner, best animation film, andwon the grand prize for
animation with Academy Awardwinner Spirited Away,
loved by critics around theworld.
Millennium actress,so this is one of those animes

(37:45):
that's kind of been on my listof to watch forever. It's by the
same person who did PerfectBlue. Yeah. So Written and
directed by Satoshi Khan, who,well, actually has 13 writing
credits and 10 directing creditsto his name, but it includes
paprika, Perfect Blue paranoidparanoia agent series Tokyo
Godfathers, so some pretty heavyhitters starring a bunch of

(38:10):
Japanese people who no one willknow about. So there you go. The
story follows Chiyoko Fujiwara,a renowned former actress and
star for the studio, Jenny hasbecome a reclusive figure,
disappearing from film at theheight of her career while the

(38:30):
studio is being reconstructedand basically demolished, a
documentary documentarian namedKenya touchy BANA requests an
interview with her. In exchange,he brings her a key he found,
and she accepts him and hiscamera man who go to her home to
basically talk to her about herlife. So this is an older lady

(38:51):
who is basically talking abouther career. He asks about the
key and what it opens. And shesays, it opens the most
important thing, and then beginsto tell the story of the key and
her whole film career. She wasborn in 1923 during an
earthquake which took herfather's life, and then when she
was at school, she wasdiscovered, but not allowed to

(39:14):
act because her mom wanted herto help at the sweet shop.
However, during the country'sinternal turmoil, she meets by
accident a political dissidentpainter who's being pursued by
the police. She helps him andhides him in their family shed,
and he has the key. She tries toguess what it opens but she
can't figure it out, and shebegs him not to tell her,

(39:37):
because she wants to find outherself. The next day, the
police have found him again andtry to catch him at a train
station where he escapes. Shefinds the key on the ground and
rushes it towards him, but ofcourse, misses the train. From
that point forward, the storiesof the film of her film career
and her life are intertwined. I.

(40:00):
What you see as films that shestarred in becomes moments from
her life, and vice versa. Itgoes from moment to moment,
showcasing all kinds ofdifferent periods of Japanese
film as well. So sometimes she'sdressed in different Japanese
eras of garb, and from Superhistorical samurai pictures to

(40:23):
more modern day films. It endson a science fiction film. So as
it goes through, even thedocumentarian begins to show up
in the films, because maybeperhaps at one point, he
intersected with her life in animportant way. Initially, this
movie feels a lot like MuppetChristmas Carol,
holy shit, watching, you know,you could have given me a lot of

(40:46):
guesses, and that would neverhave been one of them.
You're like, watching her inthese films and talking about
her life, and then the crew wasjust there, but the guy with,
like, you know, walking around,following her down the street,
and the other guy with, like,the camera, you know, following
her, and you're just like, itfeels like the mouse and Gonzo
in Muppet Christmas Carol. So,you know, it's interesting. I

(41:12):
thought that this film, itdoesn't actually have a crazy
ton of plot. Basically, she'strying to figure out this guy
with the key. She wants tofollow Him and find Him, and she
basically falls in love withhim, but she can't. She can
never get a hold of this guy,and her entire life moves along
through that motion. But it'ssuper fast. It's gorgeous, it's

(41:34):
crazy, it's frenetic. I hate thefinal line of the movie because
it feels very deep for 2001 butit's stupid, so I will say maybe
just if that one piece wasn'tthere, it'd be a lot better just
trivia. The character of Chiyokoherself is somewhat reminiscent
of Situ suku Hara, a famedJapanese movie star from the

(41:58):
1940s 50s and 60s, who likewisewithdrew suddenly from public
life, Satoshi Khan hasrecognized this influence in an
interview, also citing hidokutakamin, who insisted that
shioko is primarily a universalhuman character, despite having
at least two people referencesvarious photographic evident

(42:18):
effects of aging are used inorder to make Chicago Shio goes
film seem old. They were filmedseparately and passed through
different labs. And tell us anyprocesses from the rest of the
film. No CG effects were used.
So every time it looks like adifferent era, it's because
they're using a different filmprocess. A visual NOD is made to
the films ofuh, Ozu, I'll finish this up in

(42:43):
a scene where the protagonist istalking with her mother, which
is framed in the director'siconic style, um. Commercially,
the film performed modestly inthe US, earning $37,285 during
its three week release. The filmwas shown almost exclusively in
New York and LA and receivedminimal advertising campaign

(43:03):
from Go Fish pictures. But itdid really well in Japan. It
received a grand prize at theJapan agency of Cultural Affairs
Media Arts Festival, tying withSpirited Away. It won awards for
best animated film at theFantasia 2001 film festival and
featured in the eighth animationCoby awards. They wanted to use

(43:23):
it for the Oscars that year, butit they they ultimately weren't
able to. So anyways, that's thatfully animated weird
Oscars tonight, too. Oh, God.

(43:44):
I am always surprised that theJapanese animation movies, for
some reason I thought they wereall horror, fantasy, sci fi
stuff, and so you've come with acouple of these that were like,
straight dramas and stuff likethat. I'm like, This is so
interesting that they were ableto get past the cartoons and for

(44:05):
kids,oh yeah. And I think relatively
quickly too, I think that thatidea of what art is is so
impactful and meaningful inJapanese culture that it's not
just like, oh well, it's drawn.
So therefore it's for kitties.
It's more like it's art, and itcan tell any kind of story
through any way it wants,because it has limitless
possibilities. Yeah,interesting. The one too,

(44:26):
because I've seen not a lot ofanime, but two of this
directors, and both a bit likepaprika Siff and then I talked
about Perfect Blue on one of ourepisodes. Yeah, both fantastic.
So, yeah, definitely want tocheck this one out, absolutely,
I would highly recommend hiswork, and I Tokyo god of fathers

(44:46):
is also on my list. It's more ofa Christmas movie, so I might
wait for around Christmas time.
But yeah, just incredible,weird, interesting, fast paced
stuffas an aside. And. Going to put
in a little bowl here. And whenwe go over the five minutes, we
each have to drop $1 and then atthe end, I take that money and I

(45:06):
go drink with it. This isn'tgoing to help your trying to
help my anxiety.
I know exactly I'm going to haveto break 20s and make dollars
appear. I'll cover myself infull next 20 episodes right

(45:29):
here, right now, Eric,if you don't mind, I will go
next. Dive in. Enjoy. Got fiveminutes on here, and I am
talking about the cinematicmasterpiece osmosis. Jones did
this. Oncea deadly virus a set he at risk
two unlikely heroes, and it'sall inside this man's body. This

(45:49):
summer, we're going into a bodyunder attack from a killer virus
and contagious. You burst it,give it up. Why? You hit so
hard? It's the action comedythat gets under your skin. You
invented the city of Frank intoyour stomach and up your nose,
just the way I like it. Extradisgusting, please. You're going

(46:14):
to make me vomit. Oh, momentagain. Chris Rock, I'm dealing
with a white blood cell here.
Molly Shannon, what is it? Imean, what is it? What do you
want? Chris Elon and BillMurray, Hey, have some class,
will ya? Oh, my God, I got thegiggles. Osmosis

(46:37):
Jones, Dad, I'm feeling betteralready.
2001 directed by the Farrellybrothers, oh. 24 credits,

(46:59):
including Dumb and Dumber.
There's Something About MaryKingpin, shallow hell Ricky
staniki, written by Mark Hyman,who has 11 credits, including
the perfect score Meet theFockers and 26 episodes of Ozzy
and Drakes starring Bill Murray.
110 credits, includingCaddyshack stripes, Tootsie,

(47:20):
Ghostbusters, Scrooge, GroundhogDay, the Royal Tenenbaums, lost
in translation, and 75 episodesof Saturday Night Live also on
this are the voices of ChrisRock, who has 88 credits,
including New Jack City, LethalWeapon four dogma and spiral
just recently,and then a Very important
appearance on the Oscars. DavidHyde Pierce, who

(47:42):
has 64 credits, includingSleepless in Seattle, Sleepless
in Seattle, Adams, family valuesand the exorcism. Lawrence
Fishburne, who has 192 credits,including the matrix movies,
Mystic River. John Wick, chapter239, episodes of Hannibal and

(48:03):
then Brandy Norwood, WilliamShatner, Ron Howard, kid, rock
and Uncle cracker. Have you guysseen osmosis? Jones? Absolutely
not. We start with our liveaction hero, Frank De Tora, who
is a slovenly zoo keeper at azoo in Rhode Island. He has
recently widowed, and much tothe frustration of his 10 year

(48:24):
old daughter, Shane, he is avery unhealthy eater and has
minimal concern for germs ordisease. In fact, while trying
to eat a hard boiled egg withmayonnaise and tons of salt, it
is stolen from him by achimpanzee, he gets it back, but
not before it falls into thefilth of the chimps habitat, and
when Shane is disgusted by himabout to eat it, he uses the 10

(48:44):
second rule as justification,and that does, in fact, eat it.
This kicks off the animated partof the movie, where we are
introduced to the idea of Frankas a massive city of
anthropomorphize blood cells,bacteria and all of that. We
meet Osmosis Jones, who is anadventure seeking white blood
cell and an agent of the FrankPolice Department. He is a

(49:05):
rebel, frequently mocked by hisfellow police officers for
disobeying authority to do whathe thinks is right. Jones has
been relocated to the mouth tofight germs entering the body
via ingestion as punishmentafter he induced Frank to vomit
on Shane's science teacher whenhe jumped the gun and suspected
an incoming pathological threatfrom a raw oyster that Frank had
eaten from one of the displays.
So Jones sees the germs from thechimps habitat come in, and he

(49:29):
wants to treat it veryseriously, but the rest of the
cops think the germs are onlygingivitis and they accidentally
allow them to slip through andinto Frank's system. Jones
disobeys orders and goes afterthem. Meanwhile, Mayor Fleming
is preparing for re election asthe mayor of Frank, and his
campaign hinges on his promisesof more junk food. His reckless

(49:51):
policies are largely responsiblefor Frank's declining health,
and with all of this going on,everyone else has missed the
arrival of. Thrax, a deadlyvirus that was in the hard
boiled egg. Thrax is an awesomevillain, voiced by Lawrence
Fishburne, and he'd be right athome in the movie heavy metal.
He is constantly humming thesong fever, which I thought was
clever. Fleming suspects what ishappening with Thrax, but to

(50:16):
cover it up, he has Frank take acold suppressant medicine who
arrives in pill form and turnsinto a Robocop kind of character
named Drix, which is short forDrex and all cold relief. And he
is assigned as Jones partner totry and find out what's
happening to Frank's body. Themovie turns into a fun body cop
film, buddy cop film, playingthe straight laced by the books

(50:38):
cop and Jones, the wild card,who knows something more is
going on in Frank's body, andthis is all cut back and forth
to Bill Murray interacting withother people as he gets sicker
and sicker, but thinks he justhas a bad cold. There is some
gross out humor, as you mightexpect in a movie about the way
the body works, but Murray ishilarious. Of course, there is
the ticking time bomb of Frank'shealth, but also the idea that

(50:59):
Drax is only there for temporaryrelief of these symptoms, so he
and Jones need to find out andstop what is happening before
Frank gets too sick to be saved.
You guys, I heard only badthings about this movie. It is a
fucking delight. It is awesome.
It is so much fun. If you youcould do a lot worse if you have
kids, than showing them a movieabout how the body works and

(51:19):
everything. I'm gonna run out oftime, but I've got great trivia.
Bill Mary's character mentions anational chicken wing festival
in Buffalo, New York, and whilethe festival did not exist
during the filming of the movie,this mention caused the
organizers to create an annualfestival in Buffalo, and has
been held annually on Labor Daysince 2002 holy smokes in the

(51:42):
original script and early cutsof the film, a scene was
featured where osmosis and Drexgo to gonads gym. It involved
them talking to the exercisingsperm cells. The scene was cut
in order to stay familyfriendly. The gonads gym logo
does appear on Drex a suitcaseduring a scene in the police

(52:03):
station. A statue of a spermcell can be seen in the city
square. It is labeled ourfounder in linseed a poster is
shown that says Peace in themiddle here. And the backgrounds
have plenty of psychics, such assigns reading rectum exit only
or slow sore throat ulcer repairand danger open nerve. According

(52:28):
to the directors, Thrax is asouped up version of h5 n1 also
known as burkeville. Andfinally, the fairly brothers
wanted Harold Ramis to play Bob,the brother of Bill Murray's
character. Despite being fullyaware they had a professional
and personal falling out eightyears earlier on the set of
Groundhog Day, they hoped Murrayand Ramis could reconcile doing

(52:50):
another movie together. However,Murray said he would not
participate in the film if Ramoswas cast, so they decided to
offer the role to Chris Elliott.
Murray and Ramis did eventuallyreconcile before Rami says Death
in 2014 but never workedtogether on a movie again.
I gotta say, this soundsamazing. It is
so much fun. I was just like,clever. I have only heard bad

(53:13):
things about it. It's actuallygot a decent Rotten Tomatoes
rating and everything. It wasjust a massive flop. Yeah, so
howwas this green lit? Like this
movie? Sounds insane. I thinkthat it might have been. I don't
know, but that that the writerwho did 26 episodes of Ozzie and
Drex, that's a spin off of thismovie. So it got two seasons on

(53:35):
Fox Kids and everything. It's,it's very funny, very clever,
and I loved it. So as much as Iwas confused by this idea of
yours, I found a really greatWell, I'm really glad, I'm glad
that that worked out. I wouldthink,
Okay, we got Bill Murray and thefairly brothers. So I think that

(53:58):
there is a point where thefairly brothers could go, this
is what we're making. And theywould go, okay, Eric, you
might not want to watch thismovie because there's a lot of
shots of him eating very badly,close ups and stuff like this. I
was like, this will I might bescared of heights, but Eric is
going to pass out if he watchesthis. Eric, are you ready? I am

(54:19):
five minutes, buddy. Allrighty, I was originally kind of
going to thinking I was going totalk about Natural Born Killers.
I thought I don't want to talkabout that movie after,
especially after I watched Scalaor the incredibly strange rise
and fall of the world's wildestcinema and how it influenced a
mix up generation of weirdos andmisfits the

(54:41):
screen staying with beer, thewhole place shakes when the
tubes run, stair systems trap,but we love it one more and
the Scala mat magic.
Listen up the cinema in the oldabandoned embassy from the four
times.
It was like joining a club.
People would talk more and moreabout the Scarlet. You should go

(55:03):
to the Scarlet. It's reallygoing on there
a very secret club, like a bikergang or something. I thought the
Scarlet was a kind of WonderWoman. It's like they were a
country club for criminals andlunatics and people that were
high you don't, you know, gethigh on that
shit and you start doing this,oh yes, we

(55:24):
found one day treasure.
They found the auteur version ofsexploitation. And having felt
myself to be a radical feminist,it felt most peculiar Scarlet.
What kind of OSE doesn't freaksthe world and so welcome, and it
blow my mind,which is a good way to see

(55:44):
moviesyou didn't go there, just in
case you might trip oversomebody having a shag on the
carpet. I don'tsee us any harm in that at all.
I said I think I have a deadbody in my office. That's what
it felt like. Can you digit? You don't get that
in a multiplex.

(56:19):
Wow. So this isa Severan buy, and it's a
documentary about a theater inthe UK called Scala. And it is
fabulous. It is such aninteresting film. It's so the
heart in this movie is huge, thelove for film, The love for this

(56:41):
particular theater and what itrepresented is directed by Ali
cartel, this only film and JaneGiles only film, because I
believe they're involved withScala at one point. Actors you
might may have sort ofrecognized that appear. Ralph
Brown, who is in Stoker aliens.

(57:03):
Three, the British life on Mars,the good life on Mars. 126,
credits, Caroline Katz, who wasin dark, Martin, Doc Martin and
in fabric. And of course, JohnWaters, who was a frequent
displayer of films at thisplace, and more than 40 other

(57:24):
people involved with the variousaspects of the theater. The
basic breakdown is the theaterwas a place, place that anybody
could be, who for the hell theywanted to be. It was a 478 seat
cinema, so it was big.
It ran all the time.

(57:46):
Occasionally they did, like, aweek long thing or something
like that, at one or two movies.
But basically it was twodifferent movies every night and
an all night marathon everySaturday. So hundreds and
hundreds of movies. One of thethe movies baked on. It's
basically a books. One of thecoolest things is when several

(58:07):
option offers books with theirmovies. I always get the books
because they have beenfantastic. So this is the entire
run of the theater. Basically,it's it's got the calendar of
every month and then talks aboutit the next day. So 1986 and it
just lists all of themthroughout here. Whoa,

(58:33):
tell the people who aren'twatching what that is called.
That is, I think it's the samename. Oh no Scala, club cinema
by Jane Giles, boy, thatis a beauty. Wow.
Fantastic book. And the effortthat went into that went into
making this movie, it is justamazing. First last film screen

(58:55):
there was the original KingKong. They also did music
performances, and as such, LouReed and the Stooges Iggy Pop
fame had their first Londonshows at the Scala. While I was
still a theater, it's now a liveevent room, sort of like our own
Neptune theater, very similar.
John Waters attended a screeningof one of his films and said

(59:19):
it's the most fun he has everhad watching his movie with a
crowd, because the crowds werejust crazy. Like one of the
stories was some guy therewatching some another one of the
weird, extreme movies that theywould show, and he he would
stand up every once in a while,yell at everybody in the
theater. How are you watchingthis? Phil, sit down and
continue to watch the movie.

(59:42):
So it was full of all theseweird,
great stuff, or one of theflipping through there, one of
the double bills that stood outfor me was zardaz and the
devils. Here's the top 10 moviesthey ever showed, racer the
movies they showed mostfrequent. Like Eraserhead,
Thunder crack, which I hadn'theard of, but is like gay porn,

(01:00:06):
almost. It sounds like fasterpussycat. Kill, kill, pink
flamingos, Magic Lantern, psychoTexas, Chainsaw Massacre, el
Topo, evil, dead Cafe flesh. Andthe movie that basically
destroyed the theater was ascreening of A Clockwork Orange.
They screened it when it was notsupposed to be shown in the UK.

(01:00:30):
And I gotta tell you, thisdisappointed me a little bit to
learn was kind of destroyedbecause Stanley Cooper sued them
for showing it. Oh my god. Andone the fee that came out of
there basically was the nail inthe coffin for the place like

(01:00:52):
Cooper. Come on, man. But thismovie took five years to make,
funded by BFI, and actually dida after did a Kickstarter like
got another 25 grand. Let's seewhat else there's also on the

(01:01:13):
disc. The Severn disc has 1990documentary featuring many of
the same people that appear inthe new one, produced by one of
the guys who is, I don't thinkhe's director, but he's in that
and which is fascinating towatch, because as about two or
three years before went away, itwas late 70s to like 92 or 93

(01:01:36):
and I tell you, you love films.
You need to watch this. It issuch a love letter to films.
It's available something calledBFI player, so I'm not familiar
with that. This is brand new. Imean, this was a seven release
in January, so it just came out,so I'm sure it'll start showing
up around fairly soon. Buthighly, highly recommend it

(01:02:00):
nice. So where does theanimation come in? There is
they talk a lot about the moviesthey show and they show clips
from it. So I snuck this in.
When a giant stop motiontentacle creature with eyes
attacks the theater there'sanimated doing it. I mean,
realistically, it's not thatmuch longer than the amount of

(01:02:21):
animation that's in Natural Borncolors. There's not a lot of
that.
I'm so excited about this. Um, Ione of my favorite UK film
reviewers, mark her mode, wasobsessed with this movie, so I'm
cool. I didn't even realize itwas available at her so that's
awesome. You had a good timewith it, yeah.
And if they, if they're stillselling it with the book, highly

(01:02:43):
recommended to just take thatpackage. It's like a three disc
set. It's the movie plus all theextras, and then two discs of
short films that they wouldshow, and
that's on from seven. Oh, wow. Ikind of mentioned this to you
guys, but I actually used tolive across this corner, around
the corner from the Scala. And Ithink I only ever went there

(01:03:05):
once, and it was hazy drunkVanessa 20s, but they had a
metropolis themed night, wherethere's three floors, I believe,
and the top tier, yeah, and thetop tier had heaven, and then
the middle was like theindustrial and then the lower
bit was sort of like hell, andeverybody was dressed in like

(01:03:27):
gold. And, yeah, walking aroundlike characters in the film was
crazy. What is the name ofthe there's a massive tube
station, Kings Cross, yeah,you can feel that in the
theater. Oh, I'm sureI feel it might be, yeah,
because all those trains areright underneath, and the main
stations right there, so theyall kind of come closer to the

(01:03:50):
ground right and right in that,I mean, and it's on a busy
intersection, so it would benoisy as fuck, like, that's,
that's incredible. Is thisthe theater that you were
talking about rats running?
No, that was the Odeon TottenhamCourt Road. No, no. I'm sure
there were rats in the Scalatoo, absolutely. But, um, scared

(01:04:15):
the crap out of people. That'swhat you mean.
They just walked through thetheater while the movie's going
on, and people don't know whatit was. In
Prince Charles theater inLeicester Square, they have
ninjas. So they have their staffdress up as ninjas. And if
somebody's like, on their phoneor disturbing or doing it, they
go in and, like, escort themout. Yeah, which is pretty

(01:04:37):
awesome. Yeah. Sorry,sorry, was that the one with the
rats? No,just got the rats. It was an
Odeon. It was, yeah, it was anaudience. It was a big theater
chain Tottenham Court Road,yeah, it was disgusting.
Well, guys, Ithink that there was a lot of
confusion over this, but weended up with a with a good,
solid show.

(01:04:58):
Yeah, really good three. Solid,like next
time, I'll just go for like,rain or sunshine,
you know, I'll keep it. I'llkeep it even more simple movies
with using film.
Speaking of keeping thingssimple, I'm going to show you
how to pick a I would like totalk about movies with robots in

(01:05:22):
them. Whoa.
So the master, the masters here,ladies and gentlemen, will that
exclude any kind of filmslook if you jump right to Star
Wars movies, I'd probably belike droids. You could. You
could do a little better. Thesearen't the droids you're looking
right?
I'm not that. I'm not theproblem here.

(01:05:44):
Somebody picked Rogue One fortheir movie that was ages ago.
That was a long time ago. We'retalking about robots next week,
you guys. That brings us to thepart where we say thanks to
everybody who's liking andsharing posts, who's out there
on the strange eons radio talkpage on Facebook, and who's

(01:06:05):

253-237-4266,especially, let me insert
something about the calls too.
You don't have to call. You cantext. You can text us too. Is
that true? Yeah. So if you're,if you're feeling, you just
don't want your voice used, orwhatever, or you're like me,

messages and stuff that areamazing. I can't wait to text
the shit out of that. And big,big thanks, of course, to
everyone who's donating money.

this, which I assume you are,turn around and give a little

(01:06:49):
value back. We can't tell youhow much that is. That's right,
yeah, you we don't know how muchyou got.
Today was 30 cents worth ofvalue, but that episode last
week that was 25some people are loaded, and they
want to give a lot of money,which is great, that's fine. And
some people are struggling. Andyou know, if you want to give us
$1 Yeah, man, thanks.

(01:07:11):

you might think. Or, like yousaid, commenting on the YouTube

buddy, Micah, who is puttingtogether some kind of list of
all the movies everybody'staking. The junky thing we used
to use to make sure we don'ttalk about the same movie again,
