A highlight from George C. Wolfe - 'Rustin'
"Monarch Legacy of Monsters, an Apple Original Series. The world is on fire. I decided to do something about it. On November 17th. This place, it's not ours. Believe me. The most massive event of the year arrives. If you come with me, you'll know everything, I promise. Oh my God, go, go, go! Monarch Legacy of Monsters, streaming November 17th. Only on Apple TV+. My guest today is one of the great storytellers of Stage and Screen, which is why it's only fitting that he's here at the Fest to collect the Storyteller Award. He's a playwright best known for writing 1986's The Colored Museum and co -writing 1992's Jelly's Last Gem. He's a theater director best known for directing the original Broadway productions of Angels in America Millennium Approaches and Angels in America Perestroika, two landmark plays in 1993, and a host of Broadway musicals, including 1996's Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Funk, 2004's Caroline or Change, and 2016's Shuffle Along. And he's a screen director best known for directing the 2005 limited series Lackawanna Blues and the films Night in Rodanthe from 2008, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks from 2017, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom from 2020, and this year's Rustin, the story of Bayard Rustin, the gay civil rights activist who organized the 1963 March on Washington. Over the course of his career, this 69 -year -old has been nominated 15 times for a Tony Award, winning three for best direction of a play for Angels in America Millennium Approaches in 1993, best direction of a musical for Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Funk in 1996, and best special theatrical event for Elaine Stritch at Liberty in 2002. He was nominated for an Emmy best directing for a limited series for Lackawanna Blues in 2005, and he has twice been nominated for the Directors Guild of America Award for outstanding directing of a miniseries or TV film for Lackawanna Blues in 2006, which resulted in a win, and for The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks in 2018. The New York Times' Ben Brantley has described him as a brilliant stage director, arguably the best now working in the American theater. The Los Angeles Times declared, there are few living talents who could be viewed as as much of a New York theater institution. Interview Magazine said it would be difficult to overstate his status on Broadway, and Tony Kushner proclaimed that he is the premier theater artist of my generation. And those are just the quotes about his work in theater. There are many more about his work in film. But without further ado, would you please join me in welcoming to the SCAD Savannah Film Festival and to the Hollywood Reporters Awards Chatter Podcast, Mr. George C. Wolfe. Mr. Wolfe, thank you so much for coming to Savannah. Glad to be here, glad to. Let's just start at the very beginning. Where were you born and raised, and what did your folks do for a living? I was born and raised in Frankfort, Kentucky. My mother was a teacher, and she later became a principal of the schools. I went to that school. She taught me. It was horrifying. My father worked for the state government, and that's that. For the first eight years of your life, the town in which you grew up was segregated. Yes. You have spoken about wanting to go see a movie, 101 Dalmatians, and not being able to do that because of your race. Well, my grandmother was this incredibly ferocious figure who would take on anybody. I telling remember her that I wanted to go see 101 Dalmatians at the Capitol Theater. I remember her calling and them telling her no. It was sort of startling and shocking and fascinating because it was the first time I'd ever see her come into contact with a no. So that was fascinating. But then it integrated, and then at one point, when I went to high school, I was editor of the high school newspaper, and I went and convinced the man who ran the Capitol Theater that I should go see movies for free so that I could write reviews. He said, but by the time the review comes out, the movies will be gone. I said, but it's cultivating a love of movies, and so that's what my column will do. It was my slight payback because then I got to go see movies for free. I love it. Let's talk, though, there's a moment you've described over the years. You were in fourth grade, and your, at that time, all black grade goes to an all white class. But that time, I think it was probably a little bit older, so I got about the PTA and the singing. Well, I think by that time, Frankfurt was integrated, but I still went to this black school which was connected to a university there. And the principal, this woman named Minnie J. Hitch, you told us, because we were going to be singing a song, and the lyrics were these truths we are declaring that all men are the same, that liberty is a torch burning with a steady flame. And she told us that when we got to the line that liberty is a torch burning with a steady flame, we should sing it with a ferocity and that we would shatter all racism in the room. So I literally remember these truths we are declaring that all men are the same, that liberty is a torch, you know. And then racism was gone. And racism was gone, exactly. They were all transformed. But it sort of was like so cluelessly wonderful for somebody to tell someone that young that if you say words and if you say them with power and conviction, you can change people. And that sense of potency of conviction and language was embedded in me, and it's never left. When did you see your first theatrical production that was done professionally? When I was 12 or 13, my mother went to do some advanced degree work at NYU, and she brought me a log, and it was one summer. And so I saw a production of West Side Story that was done at the State Theater at Lincoln Center. Then I saw a production of Hello Dolly with Cab Calloway and Pearl Bailey. And then I saw a production, as it turns out, from the Public Theater and Mobile Unit that Cleavon Little played Hamlet. Wow. And it was done in Washington Square Park. Wow. And some in respect, each of those three productions had, I think, a lasting impact on a kind of aesthetic. Right. And the thing interesting about the Mobile Unit, it was free. And so it was seeing the rawness of that energy of the audience was also very, it was very, very, really wonderful and really interesting and great. So the throughout rest of your time in high school, you were increasingly involved in theater and school. I don't know if it was specific, I think, was it writing, directing, acting? What were you focused on at that point? Acting and directing. And also it's very interesting because when I went to that high school, I stuttered really intensely. So this is one thing I was talking about earlier. So they decided that I was stupid because I stuttered. And so they called my mother over to the school to say, and they wanted to put me in remedial classes. And she says, are you crazy? No, that's not happening. And so I developed an Evita complex. So I said, by the time I leave this school, I will be running it. And so I was editor. I was drum major. I was the worst drum major since the dawn of time. I just, you know, I was editor of the newspaper, of the literary magazine. I just did all these stubs just to, you know, how dare you dismiss? I could tell. And I never heard the story about them calling my mother over, but I could tell I was being disregarded. Right. I sensed it. And I went, no. So you start college in Kentucky and then move to Pomona and California. What at that time? This is there. Oh, yeah. We're doing the whole thing. Exactly. What was the idea of going out to California? Was it just to have a change of scenery or did you were you already thinking maybe that's where you go if you want to be in show business? No, not at all. I had always dreamed of going to New York. I would I would watch, you know, TV shows that were set in New York, like the Dick Van Dyke Show. And I remember this is kind of neurotic and crazy. But I what I really I was obsessed with Disney and I wanted to have my own amusement park. But I wanted money. I knew you need a lot of money. So I decided that actors made a lot of money. This is when I was seven or eight. And so and I knew the actors starved. So when I was seven or eight, I used to practice not eating. So that when I went to New York, this is insanely true that, you know, that I so I could deal with it, you know. Well, little did I know one doesn't need to practice starvation. So you graduate from Pomona, go to L .A. for a little while to do theater, to do theater. OK, now theater, as I guess you quickly concluded, is primarily in New York. Well, yeah, I mean, at one point I did shows and I started to get some good reviews in the L .A. Times. And then I got called in. I don't even remember for to be a writer on a sitcom. And and I and I said something funny and they said, oh, he's quick. We're going to have to tie one hand behind his back. And I took that literally. And that's when I went I'm moving to New York. You know, I just was it was like time to go time to go time to go confront a whole bunch of other stuff and things I need to learn and get smarter about. Well, so, OK, you move. It's 1979. You're in your 20s. You moved to New York. Early 20s. Early 20s. Right, right, right. Very early. In fact, I was 19. I was just pretending to be 20. Something like that. Yeah. You moved to New York. There are a number of years then after moving there that were we can say lean. You got to put into practice not eating so much. You what said once quote, I came to New York to write and direct. And when I got here, a lot of my rage came out. Close quote. What do you mean by that? Well, it's so interesting because in L .A., it's you know, it's you know, there's more space. So so, you know, poverty and wealth are very much so separated. And then in New York, it's, you know, they're next door to each other. And the intensity of the inequity at the time, plus the fact that I had no real power over my existence, sort of magnified all of that. And I remember I remember seeing I remember at one time seeing this image of this of this woman in a fur coat. It was winter and eating chocolates and there was a subway vent and there was this homeless woman sitting there. And she had newspaper wrapped around her legs instead of boots. And she was like like crazy and was like and just seeing those two images next to each other. It's you know, it's the thing about New York. Every single time you step foot outside your front door, you see somebody who is worse off than you and you see somebody who is living a completely different life to you. So you have you get instant perspective whether you want it or not. So in those those leaner years, you are teaching a little bit. You're going to get your own MFA at NYU Tisch in dramatic writing, your... Dramatic writing and musical theater and a double MFA. And then there's a opportunity to have a work of yours produced for the first time at Playwrights' Horizon, which is a big deal. Playwrights? No. And how did that go? Well, it it was interesting. It was it was ultimately the best thing that could have happened for my career. I didn't direct it. I wrote the I wrote the book and I wrote the lyrics for it. And it and there were things that in the rehearsal process that I. And also, when I first came to New York, I said, I'm a writer and director, and they said, no, you can't do both. You have to focus in on one. I said, but I could do both. And they said, no, you can't. So I focused just on the writing. So then I there were things that were happening in the rehearsal room that I knew weren't right. But in the spirit of ra ra ra, getting along and being good guy and all this sort of stuff, I didn't object. And then I remember there was a tornado passing through New York City on the day my bad review came out. So I'm standing on the corner of 95th and Broadway with the winds blowing. I'm reading this hate review. And it was so very painful. But it was really interesting because it was very good for me because, you know, I went, oh, if this happens again, if I get another bad review. And of course, I've gotten bad reviews. But if it's going to be because it's my vision. Because it's I because I put every single thing I had on the line. Everybody, we're only in the room to make a very beautiful baby. And if we become good friends as a result of that, that's fine. But we all have a responsibility. The people that you're collaborating with to do their finest, best work. And you have to do your finest, best work. And it was interestingly enough, when I was at NYU, the piece that I wrote that bombed, I went, oh, this is going to be successful. And then there was this play that I wrote just for myself called The Colored Museum. And yeah, none of y 'all applauded when I said the title of the other thing, Paradise, did you? No. But that's what happened. It was the most interesting thing because I wrote one for success and I wrote one for myself. And that was the thing that succeeded. And so it was a very deeply, deeply, deeply valuable lesson. It was just like, and then eight weeks later, all those people who trashed, eight weeks, no, eight months were that it were eight weeks. Eight months later, all those people who trashed me were going, oh, where has he been? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. And I'm so glad it happened that way. I'm so glad that the first piece was treated that way so that therefore it gave me a clarity and a sense of responsibility. And doing and doing work that I believed in and and that was that I believe mattered as opposed to something that was going to lead to success. It was just one of those slap you in the face and get smart, George. So you mentioned The Colored Museum, which let's just say, though, you know, you had you're coming off the rough review. How did you even get the opportunity to do The Colored Museum, which is going to as if you don't know, it was the first big success for Mr. Wolf. So how did that opportunity even come out of that? Well, it came out of that because I was at Playwrights Horizons because the guy named Lee Richardson, who was running a theater called Crossroads, said you're at Playwrights Horizons. And I don't think there's ever been a black playwright at Playwrights Horizons. Do you have something else that you've written? I said, well, funny you should ask. Dada, Colored Museum. And so that's how it happened. So there is there were they were both connected in a in a in a way that didn't seem so at the time, but was sort of brilliantly perfect. I want to ask you. So The Colored Museum is produced at Crossroads in 86 and then moved to the Public Theater in 87, which you'll notice the Public Theater, the great off Broadway institution, is going to come up quite a few times in this conversation. But for people who weren't around at that time or don't know or whatever, can you describe what The Colored Museum is about and what the controversy backlash that that provoked was? Because it was you you had to develop thick skin early on because it was not all fun and games in response to that one either. Well, but that was different. That was called pure unadulterated jealousy. So that was that was that was just, you know, I came from nowhere and all of a sudden I'm at the Public Theater. And Frank Rich wrote a wrote a review, a rave review, and said it's the kind of playwright who takes no prisoners. And people thought and that meant he kills people. The language kills them. And people thought that that meant I was soft. So it was just like that was just dumb cluelessness. That was very that was very easy to dismiss. And and, you know, and it was it was just jealousy. It was and that I, you know, I went, oh, my feelings are hurt. Oh, I'm over that. OK, go to hell. You know, it's just sort of like I didn't I didn't sweat about that. Well, tell us a little bit about the show, because this is your big success. First. Yeah, it was first. Well, it's it's interesting when I was at NYU. In the dramatic writing program, there are about three or four people writing plays about old black tap dancers, and they didn't happen to be old black or tap dancers. And so and I was just I was just I just thought about it. And I said, so somebody has figured out, has made a decision or dynamics have been created so that people have decided what black is. And I'm going, I'm black, I'm black my entire life. And I view it as this ever changing, complicated, insane, brilliant, amazing thing. So it was an effort to shatter, shatter any preconceived notions that I thought were going to stand in the way of what I wanted to create. So I wrote this play, which was eight exhibits set inside a museum. So I wanted to shatter all the perception, any perceptions that were in my head. So it's to liberate me to go in any direction that I wanted it to. And that's what happened. And it became this and it became this very successful show. It played, I think, for I think for 10 months at the Public Theater. Then it went to the Royal Court in London. Then it toured all around. And now it's it's high schools do it now and stuff, which is great. So it's in. And then as a result of it, then I started getting interesting from that. I went from, you know, being completely flat broke to then I met the kids of studios. I got Mike Nichols wanted me to write a movie for him. Robert Altman wanted me to write movies. So all of a sudden, you know, these job opportunities happened. But it wasn't for many years that you actually went into film. In the meantime, you were kind of seizing this interest in the theater, this opportunity now in theater. There was a person who is legendary by the name of Joseph Papp, who founded and ran the public, who took a great interest in you and, you know, brought you in there. And and we can say, you know, in addition to producing the colored museum, right. Named you one of three resident directors there offered to have a producing entity within the public for you. This was a big champion to have. He then passes away in 1991. He gets succeeded by a lady who was there for only 18 months. And then in August 1993, this institution of the sort of first thing that comes to mind when you think, at least for me, off Broadway comes looking for a new director. How did you become aware that there was interest in you for that position? And was it was that job, which you then spoiler alert, got and held for the next 12 years? Was it what you thought it would be? Nothing is ever what you think is going to be. But that's the point of the journey. It was actually it was I was I directed a Broadway show called Jealous Last Jab. And then I was then offered Angels in America. And and then I was in the middle of directing a seven hour play. And then they called up my lawyer and said, we want to talk to George about running the public theater. And I went, well, I'm kind of busy right now. Can they come back after? And they said no. And so they wanted to make a decision. So when I was in rehearsal, it was announced that I was running the public theater. It was I loved the thing which I loved. I loved, loved about running the public theater was giving artists money, giving artists money and spaces where they could go do work. It was that, you know, because I after after Jelly, I went, oh, this is hard. Surviving Broadway and dealing with all of these all of the dynamics and the money and the audiences and all of that stuff. This is really, really hard. And you have to be really, really tough. And so I knew all these artists who were really gifted, incredibly gifted people, but maybe weren't as tough. Can we can I just mention a few? Because these are shows that were given a spotlight by you in those years, which, in fact, several of them were just revived in the last couple of years. So decades later, people are, you know, coming back to them. But let's note, Twilight, Los Angeles, 1992. This was a dear, dear, very Smith and important show there. That was 1994. We had Top Dog Underdog, Suzan -Laurie Parks wins the Pulitzer for that 19 excuse me, 2002. Take me out again. Just revive. So these are the kinds of people who were talking about where you can. And this the public was not particularly known for its being inclusive prior to your tenure. Well, I'd say it was I think probably yes. I think it's also a place that gave us, you know, for colored girls and it's also a place that gave us for short eyes. So I'm so I would I wouldn't totally agree with that. And also these were very smart artists and these were tough artists. But there were, you know, it's just you people when you're beginning, you need a place to play, which means you need a place to fail so that you can get smarter. Like I had with Playwrights Horizons, you need you need to to do the work and not feel the pressure of it being the biggest hit in the world because you're growing and you're learning and you're getting smarter and you're getting tougher and you're learning more savvy. Just like the things that I allowed on the first production that was done, I didn't allow on the second one. And so you get, you know, so you're growing, you're growing all these muscles. It's not just your talent muscles. It's your your ability to defend yourself and to protect your work and to go, I disagree with that. And, you know, I remember one time there was a writer who was doing a play and a couple of things got really wonky at rehearsals. And I said, well, why didn't you speak up? He said, well, I was just scared that I was actually doing a play at the public theater and somebody was going to discover I didn't know what the hell I was doing and throw me out. And it's that fear you have to get. You have to realize that fear and doubt and other stuff, all that stuff is a part of growing and you have to have permission to grow. And so that's that's what I took on very much so, which is creating a space that was there. I wanted the I wanted the audiences and the artists there. I wanted it to look like the subway at rush hour in New York. I wanted to have all kinds of people there. So that was the thing that I loved after a while. It became very, very clear to me that as much as I was creating spaces for other artists, it was very challenging to be one. And while being in charge. Well, let's go back to, again, what you were doing when you got that opportunity to go there, because this was the beginning. While you're creating these opportunities for people off Broadway, you were making your first inroads on Broadway. As you mentioned, Jelly's Last Jam, 1992, you co -wrote and directed this about Jelly Roll Morton and the birth of jazz. Your first Broadway show musical with Gregory Hines and small role the first time you're working with Savion Glover. And this gets 11 Tony nominations, wins three and sort of leads to Angels in America. Now, this is it's been looked back at. I think the New York Times looked at it as the greatest show on Broadway of the last 30 years. It's an all timer, obviously, but you first saw it as a spectator in Los Angeles. It started at the Mark Tabor Forum. There doesn't sound like there was even a thought in your head that you might ever have anything to do with this. How did that change? Well, Jelly had opened up and I worked with a producer named Margo Lion, who passed away, who was a very dear friend of mine. And everybody, you know, and there were some changes that were going to be made from the Tabor to when it moved to Broadway. And she brought my name up and Tony Kushner and someone called me up and said, Tony Kushner wants to come and talk to you. I said, OK. And he came over and he talked and I had never read the play. I had only seen it. So I talked to him about it and just gave him my observations.
The Eric Metaxas Show
Fresh update on "1986" discussed on The Eric Metaxas Show
"So I want, we have some time, we'll have you in hour two as well, but I want to understand your story. When did you, you know, wake up from this fever dream? When did you leave China? Can you talk about that? Yes. Yeah. I left China when I was 26. I got to America in 1986. And so when I left China, I thought I left communism behind me. And I think I, I come to America, there's nothing for me to worry about. America, what can go wrong? The freedom is just there. This is the country of freedom. So I made the mistake that many, many immigrants or many conservatives make. I did not pay enough attention. And I was just building and working on my American dream, trying to get a good job and get a house and car and all this stuff, and, and raise a family and all that. And, but I started to notice things here and there. And especially in the, in the past 10, 15 years, I noticed something so similar to what I saw in China, the control of thoughts that there was a political correctness. You can only say this, not that. And if you say something that disagreeable, you're called names. And in China, you will be called counter revolutionary. And here you'll be called racist. No matter what race you are, you can be called racist. I was called racist. So I start to think this is not right. But of course I already said, 2020 was the turning point that I realized that communism is here. It's not here. It has taken roots and become mainstream. And I have to get out and speak out. And because I think I do have something that very valuable. I'm talking about communism, not because I read something, not because I take a course. I talk about communism based on my so-called lived experience. And I do think people pay more attention. And because of that, I have the credentials. You got the credentials to speak about this. We'll be back in hour two with Xi Van Fleet. The book is Mao's America.

A highlight from Victor Marx
"In an unsettled world, knit yourself in truth as you gain the knowledge and skills to meet the challenges of what's to come. Regent University is a Christian community that seeks to honor God and serve people. Christian leadership begins here amongst your professors and alongside your classmates. Find your folks welcome to the Eric Metaxas show sponsored by legacy precious metals there's never been a better time to invest in precious metals visit legacy p .m. investments calm that's legacy p .m. investments calm welcome to the Eric Metaxas show they say it's a thin line between love and line or at least make it a double or triple line but now here's your line jumping host Eric Metaxas let's welcome the hour two I warned you told you that we're gonna have my friend Victor Marx on the program Victor welcome it's hard to describe you I tried in the opening segment but I want to first of all want to say I'm not clear you are one of the first people to be on the scene at the music festival that Hamas attacked on October 7th am I getting that right yeah I would say that's accurate because you were already in Israel what were you doing in Israel at that time no actually we got contacted within 72 hours of the attack and had access and placement and an invitation from an organization there so we you know we jocked up got our team ready flew right in because of the relationships that we have with special operations community and commanders in the IDF and it really gave us access to things that I you know man I wish on one hand I'd never had to see but I know it's a responsibility to share it this this is this is I guess the point Kevin McCullough in our one today shared some things I've shared some things that I have read and heard and I want to talk to you about this now before we do that just to give people background on you you are the president of all things possible ministries you're hard to sum up maybe you can yeah if you can do a little bit of that for us yeah the former US Marine I have a background in martial arts passion is to help set captives free physically emotionally spiritually our organization's been around 20 years now we have a home in Iraq we've done over 130 missions into Iraq Syria northern Iraq northern Africa Southeast Asia we currently have teams in it certainly happened and it's turned into a calling you when did you come to faith Victor yeah I was 1986 June of 86 and I was still in the Marine Corps at the time had a pretty tumultuous background as a child you know I was abused as a kid and tortured and left for dead in a commercial cooler and I guess that's what is the imprint on my soul that never allows me to forget about kids who suffer at the highest level who did that to you Victor it was a the worst of it was a stepfather who ultimately ended up in prison and escaped prison and fled the country they never found him he actually turned himself in so he was a highly educated affluent pedophile and he was in connection with the network of pedophiles and you know sadly I was one of the kids that was a recipient of that and this is why a big part of what you do is rescuing kids from sex trafficking yes we we have a we just started a new division of all things possible ministry it's the pedophile hunter task force and we have acquired the best people that we believe just all tier one top former investigators detectives DA's and we are working diligently here in the US we started it in Southern California which is riddled we're expanding to other states but soon by God's grace and good hard -working men and women who are fearless will our goal is to be in every state in the nation attacking this problem and assisting both state and federal agencies to do really what they're not funded to or don't have the capacity to do and they love our help I obviously I want to talk to you about Israel that's that our main subject today but I want to talk to you about two other things one of them we're people like me I see my role on this program and in other places to help people process things because I am myself trying to process things when you hear about real evil yeah like sexual abuse of children somebody like me who was raised by a loving father and a loving mother who themselves were raised by loving parents it's nearly inconceivable to many people of the evil that is out there and when I talk to somebody like you and I hear about this I feel like part of what's happening in America today is God is allowing us to see the evil that's there he is allowing people like me who have thought that things weren't so bad to see the evil so that we can confront it so that we can so that we can stand against it so we can work against it so we can get serious about what God wants us to get serious about and what you're doing you know you you you've seen this and I think part of part of what's challenging is most people haven't seen this most people don't want to see it I don't want to see it but then you feel a duty just like what you said about Israel that we don't want to think about what was done to people but we sort of have a duty to know some of it and and that's when we're talking about you know child sex trafficking I've been talking a lot about the southern border how this is a moral issue you know the moral issue it's not a whole completely and if churches don't care about child rape why would God care about those churches if you're a Christian in a church that doesn't care that we have sex trafficking being aided and abetted by the US government whether intentionally or unintentionally if you don't see that as a moral issue what do you see anything as a moral issue I can't think of anything more serious than that but but because of the movie sound of freedom and a few other things somehow people are beginning to open their eyes to this and I guess that must give you some hope because you've been aware of this problem for too long yeah and I appreciate you saying that because I think we are in a process of Americans and Christians starting to understand this as a reality you know who's always known it our detectives law enforcement social workers this is the round that they live in and I'll tell you this part of the reason that I believe the church is so what's a good word impotent weak this whole deal is because they're that's why most people who are aware and could make a difference but don't it's because they themselves are involved in levels of darkness and wickedness that they just don't touch they don't publicly do anything and think about it one in three girls will be sexually assaulted by the time she's 18 it's one in five boys males will be sexually assaulted so what what America and the church is starting to accept through like the movie sound of freedom is well it

Spider-Dan And The Secret Bores
A highlight from Spider-Man: The Short Halloween
"See! I told you! Now capture him! Which one? I don't care which one! Get him both! That man's an imposter! That man is the imposter! There can't be two Spider -Men. Let's take them both in! Hold on a second. We'll have a showdown to prove which of us is the real Spider -Man. I am from beyond. Listen and all you desire will be yours. Welcome to Spider -Man and the Secret Wars. Prepare for battle! to INTRO Welcome Brattleworld. I am your host, the ever -amazing, ever -spectacular Spider -Dan. And in this podcast I spotlight entertainment's best -kept secrets that a mainstream audience may find boring. And welcome to Shockphobia Fest, a month -long celebration of All Hallows' Eve's most frightening films and comic spooks. And welcome to Shockphobia Fest 2023. We've made it. We've made it this far. I believe this is the fourth one thus far that we've done. So it's been a journey and a half. But we've got a huge, amazing lineup for you. If you are a patron, you've already had part two of Shockphobia Fest already way at the beginning. Or end of September, whatever date it came out. I can't remember. Remember? Remember? Remember? But yes, it's going to be a great month. We're going to have this one. Then we're going to follow it up with Trick or Treat from 1986 with John Hammond. We are then going to have our top five witch movies with Lucy Jane Devane and Scott Hodgson. And then we're going to end it out with Deadly Friend with Tonya Todd. What a wonderful lineup of guests and topics and Halloween -themed goodies. Will there be tricks? Will there be treats? We will decide on that as we get to them. But today we're going to look at a comic book. Big surprise. And guess what? It's Spider -Man again. Yes, I know. It is my go to. I mean, I've probably done more Batman on this show by this point, which is fair, to be honest. But yes, it is a Spider -Man comic. And again, it is a kind of a piss take of a Batman comic, which we did cover in a previous Shockphobia Fest with Dan Kietis. I will leave that link in the show notes. You know where it is. It's going to be there if I remember to put it there. But yes, we are looking at Spider -Man The Short Halloween, which is a is a short comic. So it's about thirty nine pages. I decided to pick up the collection, the short Halloween collection that is available on ComiXology if you want it. And it comes with not only the the story itself, the short Halloween, but also has various issues of Spider -Man family around this time around the same kind of era. And there's a few cool little stories like when Harry comes back from the dead. How does Peter navigate that? There's one where he has he goes and tries to get a job as a CSI photographer with his friend, Carly, and soon to be girlfriend at the time. And there's a few other kind of stories as well about, you know, there's some ant Spider -Man stories. So that's that's an alternate universe where Aunt May became spider powered. And there's also I think there's a couple of Peter Porker stories in there as well. And all sorts of kind of wonderful, bizarre, good, nice short stories as well. So it's a nice compilation, about 150 pages in total, but a nice compilation of stuff that's kind of coming out. And it's all on the humorous side to a degree. There's a humorous slant to most of those stories, which is quite interesting because so is this one. Not only is it a humorous Spider -Man tale, it is also written by two incredible comedic talents, Bill Hader and Seth Meyers. Bill Hader you will know from Saturday Night Live and Pineapple Express and Superbad and various other comedy films. I think he's in a show called Barry. You'll know him. You'll have seen him in something. Or you'll have heard his voice or he wrote South Park for a while, voiced some characters on there. He's done amazing things since he wrote this comic. So yes, and Seth Meyers now has his own talk show, was a writer and a performer on SNL and has done various other things with different TV shows, but he's now hosting his own late night show. So they've done very, very well for themselves. But deep, deep down, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep down, they are massive fucking nerds. And of course, Marvel came to them being New York based, being comedians, being comic book fans. They went, hey, fancy writing a Spider -Man comic? And they jumped to the chance. Bill Hader is a big fan of writing with other people because he gets that gratification immediately as opposed to waiting for the audience's reaction. That's his kind of that's his preference. And we so have a story that is set on Halloween night and Spidey does not like Halloween night because it's just known for being raucous and there's a lot of confusion, bizarreness goes on, lots of people in costume getting in the way and confusing things, which leads directly into the plot. So before I get started on that, again, the short Halloween is written by Bill Hader and Seth Meyers, the artist by Kevin Maguire. If you are familiar with the comedic version of the Justice League, that's the Justice League International or the bwahahaha years of the Justice League, they weren't all bwahahaha moments, but they did they did lean into the comedy a bit more than maybe some of the stuffier JLA stuff of earlier years. But there was still, you know, a fair bit of seriousness and also a fair bit of, you know, super heroics came first, the comedy came second. And it's kind of not unlike this story. And Kevin Maguire was one of the artists on that run with James DeMatteas and all the other, Keith Giffen, Keith Giffen, the name was escaping me then. But yeah, I've not read that run. I've read partially some bits and some crossover stuff. I've heard very good things. I do have a volume of it and I will get round to it eventually. But not today, sir. Not today, but we're talking about Spider -Man and we're talking about Halloween's. So it's Halloween night. As I said, Spidey is chasing down a jewel thief called Fumes. He is a supervillain who, of course, straight in with a comedy. He has made an armored suit and lots of gadgets and stuff to be a supervillain through his dad being a vacuum repairman. So he's learned the tools of the trade and he's flying around and throwing off all these fumes. Spider -Man is trying to chase him down and get those jewels back.

Cinemavino
A highlight from Legend
"And welcome back to cinema vino. We've got a two man game going. It's me and Sean Jordan. Just one little handshake over here. Coming at you. We're like a garage band, two members just coming at you with some hard rock. Tenacious D. Yeah, exactly. Or the black keys, the white stripes. Yeah. Yeah. Both of those. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Summer Chaos is now, this is the home stretch. Mine Meg. If this is the white stripes. Yeah. I think you're going to have to be. All right. Yeah. You're holding down, you're playing. Lying down the ones and the twos. Yeah. You're playing the quarter notes. That's about it. Yup. No fills. Which is how I like my drums anyway. She made the notes in the vamp up to the chorus. A little bit. That was one of the first songs I learned. There was a little bit of flavor. It was like a rice cake with a little bit of salt on it. Not a lot of salt, but a little bit of salt. Yup. So, this is a penultimate episode of Summer of Chaos. We're going to talk about legend. No, it's not penultimate. We've got this and then we've got Battle Royale. Oh, and then Dread. You're right. Dread. So, this is. And Robocop. This is penultimate to the penultimate. Yeah. Penultimate recording. And then I think Robocop's a gap. It's just kind of in between. Right. We just toss it in just because it sounds. Gap here. Yeah. Just a little bit of something to fill in. It's like a caulk that we used in between some tiles. Don't like that. But that's the metaphor I went for and there you go. It's a grout, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. Drinking that imagery, won't you? So, we're going to talk about legend with Tom Cruise and we're drinking some white board dough. For those of you who are coming in late to this series, basically, we do a random wheel. We spin a wheel. We put a bunch of varietals on the wheel and also like beer and cocktails. Whatever the wheel picks, that's what we do for the Summer of Chaos. These movies were all picked out at random. We put random movies in the hat, drew them out. So, pretty much anything goes for this entire summer. And so, same thing with wine. Anything goes. So, for this one, we got white Bordeaux. This is Chateau La Fresnel. This is a 2022 white Bordeaux. Little bit of background for those who may not know. We were actually talking about this before the podcast that Bordeaux is now known as a red wine region. But up until about 50, 60 years ago, it was a white wine region. It was known for its white grapes. Bordeaux are going to be... White Bordeaux are primarily Sauvignon Blanc with some Simeon and some Muscadel. There's a few other grapes they mix in there, but those are the main three that you're going to see. Then they're mainly Sauvignon Blancs. Is this kind of like how like the Republican Party and the Democratic Party kind of switched identities somewhere in the like 40s, 50s? Around the New Deal? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Basically. Now, it's like five, six to one red wines to white. It used to be the opposite. You'll also see a type of wine made from these same grapes called a Sauternes, which is going to be... It's made completely differently. It's going to be a lot sweeter, a lot more sugary. Those are very fancy, high -end, expensive white wines. So, basically, just from the price tag alone, you'll never confuse a Sauternes with a white Bordeaux. These are going to be more affordable, you know, $15, $20 range. Not super sweet. It's a little more tart, a little peachy? Dry. And the first thing I think of is Sauvignon Blanc. And these will have some characteristics of the same characteristics of other Sauvignon Blancs in the world. They're going to be a little bit grassy, a little bit citrusy, grapefruity. They're going to have some of those same kind of flavors to them. The main thing that's going to distinguish these wines is going to be... I've heard it referred to as minerality. I've heard it referred to as wet concrete. I've heard it referred to as chalk. Tasty. Yeah, limestone. But kind of that dry, refreshing edge that you don't necessarily find in other parts of the world. Kind of like what brings the harshness of mineral water versus the softness of tap. Yeah, exactly. That's a good way to put that. Yeah. It's got like a bite to it. It's got kind of like a... Little edge. Yeah. And you don't find that... Like for example, New Zealand's often been known as grapefruit bombs. Big fruit bombs. And you don't see that as much. This is my favorite region for Sauvignon Blanc. They're balanced. That's why I love French wines in general. They don't go out of the way in any one direction. They're nice and balanced. And so it's great for that. This one has that nice... It's got some grassiness to it. It's got some fruit. But it's dry. And so this would be great. I mean, people say seafood. I'm not a big seafood fan, but kind of a lighter seafood meal is perfect for that. You're not a big seafood fan? Not a big seafood fan. Period? Not really. Shrimp? I mean, I don't mind shrimp. It's not my first thing I go to. Lobster. Yeah, same. Bass. Catfish. I don't mind catfish. I've had some catfish. That's garbage. Catfish is garbage. But I remember when we went to Barcelona, we took a cooking class. It was on our honeymoon. My wife and I, we did a... It was all seafood. We had some paella. We made some paella. We did octopus. We did squid. I mean, we tried the gamut of seafood stuff that they had in the Mediterranean. It was like... That was a good indication. It's like, I don't like this. This is not for me. Yeah, not my taste. It's fair. It's fair. But I will say that we did a wine kind of similar to this, a Spanish white. And yeah, this would be perfect with a wide variety of seafood. Some of the stuff that's bigger and more buttery, you might want to go for a white burgundy, like a chard. But this is a good hot weather, outdoor type of wine. It's nice and refreshing. I like it a lot. Yeah, 25 bucks, not a whole lot of money. But yeah, any good wine store, you should be able to find a nice white Bordeaux section. So look for those while the weather's still warm. But now, legend. Talk about this movie a bit. This was released in the United States April 18th, 1986. So... You say in the United States. Where did it come out before? It was released in Europe the year before. This had a very difficult production. This was a difficult movie to realize. It has a lot going on. So this grossed worldwide $23 million against a $25 million budget. In 86? That's a big budget. Huge. And for several reasons. A big reason for that is that when they started filming, a fire broke out and burned down the 007 studios where they were filming at Leaves in England. So pretty much had to build new sets. That's probably all the magic. Exactly. Yeah, some of the Sprite costumes caught fire. Or the unicorn hair. I can imagine, yeah. It's one wrong look, that unicorn horn. Yeah, it's gone. But they had to build new sets. And Ridley Scott's original cut of the movie ran for between two and a half, three hours. So... Jeez. And the final cut was like, what, hour and a half? Yeah. The version that I watched, I don't know if you saw the original 89 -minute version or if you watched the director's cut. I think I watched the 89 version. Okay, I looked around. I had trouble finding it. That's the version I know the best, so I went back to that one. The director's cut? No, the original. Oh, the original. Yeah. There's a director's cut out there. Is it like two to three hours? No. So basically, when the final cut of this print was released, Ridley Scott watched this cut and freaked out and thought that basically American audience couldn't grasp this much plot. And so he cut the film basically in half, down to 89 minutes. And when it came out, it got mediocre reviews. Obviously, he didn't do well at the box office. He just watered it down too much? Yeah. Gene Siskel put this as one of his worst movies of that year. And the international cut that came out the year before was 93 minutes. And it got a little bit better reviews, but still not great. And then in 2002, somebody found a full work print of the movie in a can somewhere. And so they took that out and restored it, remastered it, and really Scott added about 25 minutes to the cut that the director's cut. So it comes in at like 115 minutes, give or take. And he and Tom Cruise have gone on the record saying that's the version to see. I was going to say, I was reading that Tom Cruise saw the movie in theaters and was like, that's not the movie we filmed. Yeah. That's not it. I mean, you could imagine with that much cut out, it's going to be almost incoherent. It's like a whole other act. Yeah. Yeah. And so basically, the director's cut, yeah, it's a whole other fleshed out thing. And I have seen that once. I saw it when it came out. I think I've got that on DVD somewhere. And the one thing I would say is it does, it adds a few scenes. It makes the motivations a little bit deeper, especially for the character of the darkness and his relationship with the princess, Lily, and the stuff there. It's kind of just, not to cut to the chase, but it just kind of comes out of nowhere. He's just like obsessed with her. He's just like, oh, I must have her. It feels very rushed. It feels like a plot of necessity, not like a plot of, you know, any reason. They're just like, we need to stall him. How do we do it? Love interest. Yeah. And it's like, it's like I'm telling a story to my three -year -old and it's like, I got to kind of get something else in here. You got to kind of yada, yada, yada over motivations. We're coming in for a landing too quick. We got to just shoot. Pull up. Yeah. But so basically, this is a fairly straightforward fantasy story. Tom Cruise plays Jack, who is a protector of the forest. I was a little vague on what exactly he is. Is he a bard? Is he a ranger? I mean, he'd be more druid than anything. Is he a druid? Yeah, I couldn't place what he was supposed to be. It's like, this is where we need Travis. Yeah, he would be. And if Travis had an answer to that, I would be impressed. Because to me, they don't spell that out at all. I guess he would be more of a ranger. Yeah. Because he didn't really have any sort of like shape -shifting ability or had any ability to talk with trees. Really, his only thing was he had like one -on -one connection with the sprites, right? That's about it. Yeah, he had good buddies. A working relationship. And he wore a loincloth. Yes. So there was that. Dude, he was showing that thing off. He was. And that's what I, you know, in that situation, it's like, check out my hairless legs. My supine body. Yeah, check out these smooth legs. But, so Mia Sarah plays Lily. Now, this is her starring debut. Next year, she would go on to play in Ferris Bueller, amongst other things. Her hair when she transforms into a dark version. Awesome. Now, this great production value is great. Everything, costumes, hair. For 25 million, it better be. Yeah. Yeah. And those are real unicorns. Yeah, they better be. Yeah, I mean, now it's like, that'd be 100 million plus to make this thing. Easy. Easy. Easy. So yeah, Lord of Darkness, played by Tim Curry, who is unrecognizable in the mountain of makeup. Honestly, but might be one of my favorite representations of the devil. Yeah. Like, this makeup job is incredible. And in theory, we'll get to this later, that should be great casting to have Tim Curry. Yeah. I almost want to see more of Tim Curry in the face. Like, see more of him, you know. Almost, you know, Faustian devil and Daniel Webster kind of thing, where it's like, you can see like him being rascally or whatever. But yeah, so Lord of Darkness seeks to cover the world in darkness. Plot out the sun. Conveniently, yeah. Typical plot device. For that, he needs the horn of a unicorn, which is the most sacred and majestic of all fantastic creatures. Basically, he wants to take the unicorns out of the world, take the horns out of the world, and the world. The representation of purity. The horn of the unicorn. Yes. The world goes dark. Everything turns into kind of a barren, frigid tundra of darkness. He just has goblins that work for him inexplicably? Yeah, incompetent goblins. Yeah. It's nice. But they rhyme. They talk in riddles. They do. They do rhyme. But you know, he kind of has the James Bond villain of incompetent people working under him, you know. If anything, that's the thing that slows him down as much as, you know, these James Bond villains. Like, you hired a bunch of idiots. He also has, like, the Bond villain thing of, like, doing a lot of monologuing? Yes. Let me vamp for five minutes while you prepare your thing to destroy me. Yeah, let's me blather.

We're Still Here After Many 'Government Shutdowns'
"On a plan budget that would start from zero zero -based budgeting he called he had problems from Democrats and he shut down the government a lot total of 60 days out of four years that then the great Ronald Reagan comes in Congress wants to spend money everything on but defense 1981 he shuts down the government for two days in November 1982 he shut down the government for one day September 30 to October 2 again 1982 December he shuts it down three more days 1983 shuts it down three days 1984 shuts it down two days 1984 again later shuts it down one day 1986 he shuts it down one day 1987 he shuts it down one day Here we are America.

"Welcome to another podcast episode named People of Divine Naples, today you will hear an interview that was done on the very beginning of our Divine Naples podcast, this was the second interview I have ever done in the United States on 14th of January 2018, this interview was never published but for many reasons today I have to bring it to your ears, you will hear voice from my dear friend for 22 years, my neighbor for 18 years, the businessman that you should have known and the person that will be missed by many, if you are one of them you will always find his voice here speaking, enjoy the show. Hello all divine people, welcome to episode 433 named People of Divine Naples, I have the great pleasure to welcome person that decided to dedicate his 22 years of passion for people, he enjoyed to make them happy through taste buds and good vibration, he started experimenting in Naples 2001 with Chicky Hut where he blended in community immediately, after that he opened best rated and most successful barbeque restaurant in South West Florida, Black Eyed Pick and he built from scratch Franklin Social, here is one and only Carl Osborn. Hey Rich, how are you today? I am doing great, good to have you, you are comfortable? Yeah, oh good. Yeah, and our bar is serving good? Yeah, beer is good, check that out. We like to have interviews relaxed so we are prepared with whatever you wish as drinks, so if anybody want to come over and do the interview, so make sure we get the right information. So you are sitting here in a very humble studio, I hope you are feeling comfortable and good, whether it is cold outside, it is good, probably a good time to maybe do barbeque, a lot of people maybe do barbeque because it is Sunday today and you have been doing this for 15 years, isn't it enough of barbeque right now, you still going to continue? Yeah, we are just getting on a good roll right now, we are actually at the restaurant, we are in year 10 right now, but I had 5 years prior doing outside stuff. The question was, you know, if you still like it. I still like it, I love barbeque. That is good, let's just tell everybody what is the name of your restaurant, where you are located, so we can start with that and let's just roll. We are at the Black Eyed Pig Barbeque, it is 5307 Shirley Street in Naples, just off Pine Ridge Road between Airport or Naples Boulevard and Goodlett Road. It is hard to find, so you guys have to get on that road and it is a very short distance from Pine Ridge and you will see from a long way the pig eye, the design on the building. So it is barbeque with a big pig face. Yeah, it is a very inviting pig face. I wanted a big pig to put on top, but they won't let me do that. Oh really? Yeah. But you can smell it from a long distance. Yes. All right, you end up in Naples when? When did you come here? 2001, came down from the Orlando area. Oh really? So you lived in Orlando before? I did, I came to Orlando in 1986 with the Olive Garden. Oh really? So I didn't even know that. I know you for a long time, I didn't know you were in the Olive Garden. I was with the Ruby Tuesday prior for four years and came with the Olive Garden in 1986 to Orlando when they had four restaurants I think. So there is a long way, you are the expert in restaurants, you picked up a lot of practice there. Yeah, I've had a lot of practice closing restaurants and opening restaurants and lots of employees. So you know how to do it? Yes, absolutely. And you know there is a reason for probably keep it on the size you have it because it's very limited on seating, it's very limited with employees, so you can focus on the quality and there is probably, the end is, you've been voted, as many people say, the best barbecue in Naples, so what is the special on that? Well, we decided in the beginning, the building was a breakfast lunch restaurant when we bought it and I've never been open for dinner, so we started opening lunch and dinner and we got rid of everything that we don't do, we got rid of salads, so we're basically just barbecue. If you smoke it, we got, so we just sell what we do. We don't try to be everything to everybody, we do barbecue, that's it. That is very simple? Yes. And you do the hot sauces? Everything is yours? Homemade sauce. Recipes? Everything. Really? I just have to tell everybody who is listening right now, we don't talk ordinary barbecue one like you can buy in the Costco and you roll it out at your parking lot, load it in your SUV, this is serious business. Your barbecue is probably 10 times maybe more bigger, now you bought another little barbecue I would say, right? Specialty built for you, for your business? Yeah, we've got a competition smoker now that we're going to start with this spring, but we use it on a lot of caterings. But going back to the recipes, I've got a great friend of mine who I met here in my first business venture here in town, which is a little bar, he's from Oklahoma and his family has been in business since 1930 in the barbecue business. So a lot of my recipes came from him, so they're well tested, they've been there 85, the one on 88 years now. So, would you say this is like Saturn taste or what is this exactly? Well, Oklahoma, it's a dry rub, everything's dry rub and hickory smoke. Never baked, never boiled, it's just smoked. How many hours do you have to smoke like ribs? Ribs are around three and a half to four hours depending on the size. We do baby backs and St. Louis as well. St. Louis are the ones that came out of Oklahoma, we kind of threw the baby backs in for the East Coast kind of people. And what's the best seller? They sell about equal, we sell a couple of hundred racks of each a week, we have 35 seats, so we stay pretty busy. I think you did really well when bikers start showing up because they love the type of food and I think there's always a lot of bikes on your parking spaces. There's a lot of bikes, there's a lot of guys, golf outings, we always get the guys, we're a big guy hanging out for lunch and then they all bring their wives at dinner. Okay good, so you do what, I mean you do pick, you do chicken, you do sausages, just tell us a little bit. So everybody who's listening, their mouth is already watering right now. We do pulled pork is our specialty, we call ourselves home to pulled pork.

It's nummy. I want vanilla. I want vanilla. Here comes Eric Mataxas. Hey there, folks, welcome to the program. By my calendar, it is Thursday, August 24th. I have as my guest, our friend Kevin McCullough. Some of you know him as vote Stradamus. Some of you know him as Kevin McCullough. And yet he's the same person. Kevin, welcome. Hey, Eric. Good to see you. This is a big day, a very, very big day, a day that should live in infamy because Donald Trump is having to report to a courthouse today. It's a staggering thing. Some of my friends had to have their mug shots taken yesterday. These American heroes who were really trying to make sure that we had a fair election last time. And by the way, we didn't. And of course, last night there was the Republican debate. I want to say that with air quotes. It's kind of like whatever that was last night on Fox News. And then Trump, brilliantly, as usual, because he is just a master at this, did had a conversation with Tucker Carlson at the same time as the debates starring Asa Hutchinson, who? That's correct. Asa Hutchinson. So so, Kevin, let's let's go to it. I didn't have the stomach. I did not have the stomach. I don't have the stomach to watch things like that debate last night. So I saw a bunch of clips. It was really, to my mind, pathetic, actually, to see people like Mike Pence and Nikki Haley and Chris Christie presenting a view of the world that died in 1986.

Chernobyl anniversary rouses specter of Ukraine nuke threat
"A Chernobyl anniversary rouses the specter of a current Ukraine nuclear threat. President volodymyr zelensky is using the 37th anniversary of the world's worst nuclear disaster to repeat his warnings about the potential threat of a new atomic catastrophe in Ukraine. Amid his country's war with Russia, zelensky draws a parallel between the Chernobyl nuclear disaster on April 26th, 1986 to Moscow's brief seizure of the plant, and its radiation contaminated exclusion zone following the invasion, Russian forces have also been stationed at Ukraine's zapper region nuclear power plant since capturing the site early in the war.

Maradona's medical team on trial in former great's death
"Argentine court says 8 healthcare professionals will stand trial in the death of soccer great Diego Maradona, three judges of an appeals court confirmed the charges of homicide by negligence brought by prosecutors against members of Maradona's medical team. A medical board's report previously given to prosecutors claims Maradona was in agony for more than 12 hours, did not receive adequate treatment and could still be alive if he had been properly hospitalized. The date of the trial hasn't been set, but it's unlikely to begin before next year. Maradona, who famously won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986, died of a heart attack aged 60 in late 2020, following brain surgery two weeks earlier.

1986 Film "Highlander" Has a Timeless Quality About It
"It doesn't smack of being an 80s movie. I mean, some movies from this period are just dated from the first picture frame. This you don't go, oh my gosh, that's so dated. You fall into it, right? Yeah, I mean, I would say the same thing is true of like Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones, actually benefits from not being set in the 80s though. Right. So it's set in like, this is actually set in 1986 or whatever it is that the film came out. And yet it's still is able to overcome that hurdle of looking too much like the 1980s. It's possibly because he's wearing a trench coat a lot of the time. The tennis shoes are definitely 80s. Yes. Give me that. Like if you see the tennis shoes. I mean, when I watched that movie, I had a trench coat and I had to wear my tennis shoes with my trench coat. I mean, it had to be done. If highlander did it, I did it. Yeah, and the cars are maybe a little bit more, like older, like the late 60s or 70s cars, some of them. So it does kind of give a general sense of America. It's like America in the city. It's a little bit grittier. And but I think there's something good about that. I always talk about this whenever we do these films where it's not like as clean as you would expect a film to be today. There's something about the film that I love the actual celluloid, the film grain, and that sort of stuff like Star Wars. I hate to cleaned up version of Star Wars. You need to see the old actual film grain Star Wars. Yes. And this is kind of the same. The grittiness adds something to it that we just don't really get that much of today. If at all, I don't

James Rosen on His New Biography of Justice Scalia
"Welcome back, America. This is a rare triple play for the YouTube show. The grand old pod will be devoted this interview. Highly concentrated Hugh podcast will be devoted to this interview and it's going to play on Thursday morning in the first hour because I want everyone to listen to this show to go out and get this book, Scalia rise to greatness, 1936 to 1986 because it's a rollicking grand read. It's not because James Rosen is a friend of me and then of the show and he is. It's not because I love the strong man. It's because I have long admired justice Scalia and I doubted that we would get a good book about him for a long time, but James Rosen is surprised me. Good morning, James. Welcome, congratulations. This is a fabulous read. Thank you Hugh for everything that's so kind of you to say and I'm grateful to be back with you. Well, let's get right to my number one burning question. What happened to justice Scalia's father's library? The volumes in the basement of the building that had like 5 different languages and I think it was Eugene Scalia, maybe it was father Paul went in with him when his father died. What did they do with all those books? That's a great question. I don't know the ultimate disposition of Salvador Eugene Salvatore Eugene Scully is library. There is the scene in the book where father Paul, accompanies his father Antonin Scalia to the home of Antonin Scalia's father after his death to dispose of this extraordinary library that the old man had and father Paul Scalia who was interviewed for this book told me that what was most remarkable about all of those books arrayed before them was that they were divided not by subject matter or by author, but by language. That's

Then we'll work our way out of here. 5 questions. 5 questions. All right. I still got to stay in music. This is an interesting factoids in this day of music coming up. I think you might be interested in it. And believe it or not, there's no fucking Rolling Stones or Beatles references or Elvis. This is the day. This day in music history, none of them would talk about. None of them did anything. All right, Jack, in 1986, the bangles topped the American shots with walk like an Egyptian. What color were the crocodiles mentioned in the second verse of the song? What color were the crocodiles mentioned in the second verse of the song? Were they? I'll give you an option. Okay.

Who had a hit in 19 86 with the song, don't leave me this way. Was it Michael McDonald? Gloria Stefan and Miami sound machine? The communes are Christopher Berg. I will guess Gloria Estefan. I just posted this video the other day. This is a great remake by the communities. Don't leave me this way. With seeing a Jimmy Somerville from the bronski beat. The bronski. Yeah. Yeah. Jimmy summoned a great voice. Great. He's probably got the highest voice. He makes Barry Gibbs sound like darry Manila. I mean, Barry White, mister falsetto. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Question number four, not music related. Just 1986 related, like the class project. On average, how much was a gallon of gas in 1986 on average? Was it a dollar 7? Was it 94 cents? 89 cents, a 77 cents. I'll say a dollar 7. In 1986, a gallon of gas cost 89 cents. That's why we could drive those fucking big Chevy impalas and stop it. Stop it. That's why we could drive all those fucking big buicks. Gas guzzle is because there's only 89 cents a gallon. All right. Is your current vehicle a gas guzzler? Lex's GX four 60 gets 16 to 18, maybe 18 miles a gallon on the highway? Yeah. I'm not far behind you and Mike. You and I have to put the good stuff in, don't we? Yes, yes, yes.

"If it sounds like he's finished. This is a big difference between you and me. Even in our even in our playlists, you like live music, you're alive music guy. I'm not a big live music like listening to it on my playlist. I don't have, I think maybe one live song and that's traveling in a beautiful loser. Bob Seger and my playlist, but I would see the Pet Shop Boys again. I just like their music. I just really like their music. I always have like the music. You know? Yeah, they're good at pushing buttons. Look at. Them and they do it well. But that at West End girls, please had West End girls on opportunities let's make lots of money. I love comes quickly, which is a great song and suburbia. It's just a good solid album, man. Solid album, they should be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I think it's gonna be Simon. That's what fucking show up. I think it's gonna be a very, very, very long time before they were in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's because of the genre. It's the genre of their music. They don't get the respect. Those bands don't get that respect. Yeah, I agree with you. I don't think that there's an appreciation for what they do. No, but they'll put Cali, Simon and who has fucking 9 greatest hits albums. Why are you stuck on Carly Simon? Every fucking weekend. I love her. I love her mom because I love you go again. You're an idiot. The next time you see her, you're going to look, you're going to look. You're going to say he's right. Go watch your videos. You're a disgusting gross, but horrible disgusting human being. I don't think she, I don't think she is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Material. I think she was a I get it. I get it. You say the same fucking thing every week. Well, that's my excuse. You want me to fucking change it up? Every week, every week, you talk about it, how you, you know, don't think that she belongs and like you have to say. I have to tell you something. You are so vain in terms of yeah, yeah. Passing judgment. You're so vain. You probably think you probably think this podcast is about you, but it's not. It is. No, it's not. It's so. Let's see Mark Smith says, 1986 for me, junior year in high school, zebra. Here we go, the fucking zebra again. Three V rainbow. Final vinyl, Emerson Lake and Powell, bring on the night, staying in third stage Boston. Okay. This is that list is an indicator of why he was unable to attract any women. Well, that's a list as to why he was at midnight on a Friday night or something. Trying to Sam goodies with his money in his hand. I will give him one thing. And you know what? You just made mention of it. The fact that I really like live albums, the sting album, bring on the night is very, very good. It is good, yes, yes. Sting hate sting has a solid solid solo correct. Fucking solid. You can't deny it. He might be a pompous ass, but listen, I should stuck in the bedroom, my albums, let's not go there, buddy. Stuck. Yeah, I was gonna say stuck in the bedroom. I think everything's probably sticky in there. I knew it was coming. I fucking knew it. As soon as you see the word stuck in bedroom and albums, the wheels just start fucking spinning like a Tesla's taking off from the line. He's making so many comments. He should just come on. He has because I can. Come on anytime. Why wouldn't he come on? I mean, we're treating him so well. It would be, yeah, well, I gave you Jack time tonight. I gave you Jack time. Yeah, yeah. And you know what's funny? Even tonight, he's stuck in the bedroom with his albums. Sorry. Yeah. I can't help anybody. I just sorry. I'd like a great dude. He's a great dude. And don't think he doesn't have one line is in him either. I'm sure he's very dry delivery, but he hits it. He hits the nail. Hey, Luzon. Say hi to loop, Jack. Hi Lou. There you go. How you doing? How you doing? Hey, you know, some good total hello. How you doing? You done? Wait a minute. Some good R&B albums. A look. What are you doing? Some good R&B albums came out that year. Control. Yeah. Buddy, this next one. If this shit went on in my 74 Plymouth polari station wagon, white with the brown paneling on the side, with the fucking roof rack, but it had the red leather interior. If I put this tape in next to Sade or this one, I need a bacon wrapped shit. Buddy. It was on. It was on, buddy. Either. Things got stuck. Oh, did they ever? If I pop that in, it's all, it's all business. Then you had a parade by prince. He had the basically kiss came off of that one. You had word up, cameo, great album from that, you know, for what it was. And one of my favorite songs of the 80s off this next album. One of the best, one of the best songs of the 80s, in my one of my favorite songs of the 80s, I'll say. Give me the reason is the album by a skinny Luther Vandross. And the song was stopped to love. Shit, what a great fucking song that is. By skinny Luther, that was the year I saw, I saw Luther and Anita on tour together. That's a pretty good double bill. Saw them at the Boston gods. Me, Jim Hurley, Phil Kelly, Joe Mack. I used to work this, so I got us backstage. That's I think I've told the science when Joe max stole a box of t-shirts and whatever else we stole back there. And then just walked up to you. Did you guys get to meet anybody or? Nah, we just want to go to the show. You know, we went to the show and everybody was like dressed to the fucking 9s. Like this was like an event, right? And there we are in fucking jeans, sneak is t-shirts. Fucked in. White trash rats. It's all good. Perry the Twitter bot. He's a YouTube bot. I know he is. Everything. He's a bitch.

"Also weren't terrible, but it just none of it was hit the mark. Yeah. The tremors films were just talking about. After the third one, they did a prequel back in the west and it was a good idea. But it didn't trip my trigger. I keep watching him because not great termer films. More than good. And with over the trimmers one, I think it's so funny because not saying low budget. But they're not having the budget that any of the trimmers movies are having. Tremendous movies. Yeah. I mean, those are just more aliens or aliens. Multi-million dollars. So it's like, for me when you see something like a tremors you're just like, okay, just keep going, who cares? It's funny, whatever inclusion of $3 million who gives a shit. But when you see a terminator an alien figure you're like, wow, you spent that much money on this? Yeah. Goddamn. And this isn't another film franchise, but two different series. Now the end and the extra lost and Game of Thrones have tainted my opinion of the rest of it. They both start out great. But I don't necessarily want to go back and start them again, knowing how disappointed can be at some of the endings. Yeah. I mean, it's like starting a great ice cream no, and then it gets really bad at the bottom. Oh, yeah. It's gonna turn. So do you even want to start that ice cream? Yeah, that's fair. I would. I'll be honest. Yeah, you still do it. I'm gonna start it anyway. Yeah. That makes you sad, though. Yeah. You have to. So there's been another episode of sentiment. Yeah. It Travis bud. Taylor owns a hell, I'm Todd wofford. Next week, we're going to do Friday night. And my pick, I love this film. Yes. This is another all time classic film. We will have Sean Jordan back next time. Take a look. We will hopefully. But yeah, we will do that. And then after that, 13 ghosts, which I've never seen, that's the one that we've done the same thing. And then two, not one, but two surprise Halloween pace. Day of. I've honestly forgotten what the surprise is. Actually, I guess I might think I have two. I remember one surprise. I'm not sure. I'm Muppet to take Manhattan was one of them. They need more Muppet Halloween movies. Yeah, you're not kidding. Does fraggle rock have a Halloween episode maybe you just do that? Yeah, we can go back. I think this is all based on how I'm not sure. But yeah, and then the second one is braveheart, which is a great movie. Great Halloween flick. It is. It's not really braveheart. But those will be secret. We'll do day of surprises. Oh, okay, cool. But we will see you guys next time not with a bang, but with a whimper, but with a whimper.

"The first movie she's just another part of the cast. She's part of the ensemble. And this one she's the lead and she's the strongest character like you said, she's by far. The best thing in the movie character wise. Paul Reiser plays a great scumbag. Oh, yeah, true. So, you know, it's a very different role for him. He fits in, well. And Lance henriksen as the Android bishop. They all have weird milky blood. That was weird. He and home was the Android in the first one. Bilbo RIP. But after they've and again, I'm going off of just this film, but when they've been showing Prometheus and alien covenant and they show Michael Fassbender is David and that Android. You're like I wonder why they even sent space marines at all, like, can we get a whole marine force of David? Yeah, androids. You crazy Android shit. Yeah. Because they're not wanted by the xenomorphs either. They're used to host. Yeah. Yeah, because I'm not wrong in the aliens just basically reproduce. They need like human bodies. Yeah, send the androids. You know? Yeah, they're basically, I think in other films, it's shown that they're kind of a viral plague on any living creature. They just want just desolation just to destroy any and all living creatures. Yeah. Interesting. So scale of one to ten, what would you guys give it? Let's start with Tay, because I know you're a little more skeptical. You know, and this is gonna sound bad, too, but I still think it's a great film. So even though I might rate it higher because I know what it was. I know it was a great film. I goddamn. I feel bad being like, yeah, 6 and a half. Same as fucking trimmers. But it was like because I know it's not. But it was like, that's just for me. It didn't connect with me, but it's like, should it be probably a 7 and a half? I was like, honestly, even maybe an 8. Probably. I was like, just because of what it did, what it accomplished. But for me, my if someone was like, hey man, you know, should I watch timbers or aliens? Sadly, I'm probably gonna say tremors, you know? But if you want to see a great cinematic film and just love everything, then go with aliens. Yeah. I can see either one. It just depends on what you're in the mood for me because I love tremors and I think it's great. I'm biased in my personal opinion, but I think aliens, I would say an 8, and I feel okay with that. Placing it there. Same. I don't know where I would put again, I always say godfather jaws. And for me, you know, the original Superman with Chris reeve are almost ten out of ten films. But yeah, this one is definitely up there, especially watching it as a kid, and then watching it again as an adult, I'm like, oh, I enjoy it on another level. Yeah. Even more. Yeah. Same here. I mean, I'm probably 8 8.5. I was like, it's definitely an 8 film. But it's like, for me, it's just, it wasn't that for me, but I know goddamn well what it is. It's one of the greatest films of all time, but I don't know. I get that, though. Sometimes I just don't connect. What is the first one you get then? Out of ten. Do you like it better or the same? Because I think I would still say an 8. I think for me, I would say it's an 8, but you watch it for different reasons. Yeah. Again, because tremor is also I would say it depends on the mood you're in..

"Going to show up. They're going to have their crazy weapons. They're going to get their asses killed, but then at the end, she's going to fight the crazy Queen and she's going to be in the freighter, Mexico, get away from her, you bet jazz, which is one of the best lines in cinema, along with get your damn hands off me you damn dirty 8. Yeah. And supposedly, that was something that was going to ever came up with. She was allowed to improvise and stuff for her character. And so coming out in the mech suit to fight the alien queen. That was something that she said. I loved it. And the alien queen looked, they did look so bad. Yeah, that's especially backlit and everything. And it was, I loved all of it. And they made like video games, then based off of it and all the action figures, which I had several of them as a kid. Just great. To me, I was on board. To me, it's like, you look at Empire Strikes Back. That's the movie that every Star Wars movie has been chasing since then. In fact, they want to be that movie. All these alien movies that have come out. They've been chasing that movie. They've been chasing that high ever since. All the big iconic stuff from this movie. Well, the third movie, the first two were the ones I go back and rewatch several times. The third one, I've probably seen the lease because it hops onto some dog and is telling people in a prison planet. The fourth one was written by Joss Whedon and feels very Jos whedon esque. Because he's like, oh, we're going to turn sigourney. We were into a hybrid alien person. So Buffy style powers, which, again, at the time, I thought it was cool. Even a bad aliens movie, I still enjoy. But I recognize that none of them are as good as the first two..

"Aliens. So it was a big blockbuster hit of its time. 1986. And I'm curious to hear what you guys think. I mean, I know both of you guys have seen it before. You said you've seen it like basically in pieces all the way down. I saw it, I don't think I've ever seen it all the way through. Half the film had the film. A quarter, you know, whether it's been on or I put it on. This is the first time I've actually watched it from start to finish. And you know, I'm going to say this in the nicest way. I'm not like blown away by it. I like the film, I think it's amazing. But for me, it's not something that I would go back and just like watch nonstop. I do know that when we have a lot of the sequels, once you get into a sequel, people already know what's going on. Like, kind of. Like, I was like, well, aliens, huh? I'm just going to be some aliens, right? Yeah. There's some aliens. You're already at a disadvantage, I guess. I do like this film a lot, but it's not for me. It's not up there for my favorite. For what the film is considered to be. It's like, I can understand, I let people, you know, I'm glad you guys like it. It's just not my thing. It's like, you know, I watched it and I was like, man, this is good. I do have the action. For me, again, after watching it, I just felt like I was watching Cameron starting off avatar. It was very avatar S, which I'm in the same cast. Yeah, with the machine guy in there. When the loading when she gets into that, those you have. You have mad about you guy you know, he's total corporate. It's all he does. It's like, well, it's kind of a Giovanni was. Oh, we have all we have all the marines. Well, isn't that what avatar is? I was watching it. I was like, am I just watching the precursor to Avatar? Is this how I'm watching? Yeah. I guess I never know that before. But yeah, I didn't think about that. You just said it. I was like, I'm just watching avatar. Yeah. And maybe that made me sad, but I will say. I do love the special effects. And the sentence I have to sit back because I think I do 100% gets boiled by all the marvel films as of recent. But when I sit there and be like, this was 1980 fucking 6. That's fucking really impressive. Like all of that stuff was just awesome. 35 years ago. Yeah, I was three years old. But it was just damn. What an amazing film. That's what I liked about it. It was kind of like I think whenever we reviewed the thing, again, I was like, man, God, damn, it's a cool film, whatever, but when I think about when it was done and what they had to do to do that, I was like, damn..

"Is is the is the main body going to get meet hooked or is he going to get punched through one of the portals of hell. I was delighted when both happened. Simultaneously the meat hook grabs him and take some dell does and it's also like kind of like from a screenplay from a parody screenplay. It's pretty delicious that this guy's going on and on about how he's going to yale he's gonna go to hell and he's going to drag and like he's literally like this this this bar corpse on a is drug through what does look like a flaming portal's synonym straight to hell. So yeah he definitely definitely got that all. Those one liners connected into the action. And i like that. The the other like extremely obvious thing that i saw coming immediately i mean as soon as cobra steps out of his car in the very first seen that he's in i'm like oh okay. That match is going to be us later in the movie to bite some on fire. I expected it to be somewhat of more consequence. I guess beat. He just likes to sniper on fire when he's chasing him through growth. Not as big a deal. As i expected like light light the crazy psycho cop lydia or light up bribe brian. Whatever his name is night stalker light the night slasher light them up. You know. i was disappointed with who he lit up. Also i'm a little house in a factory. Full of fire flames everywhere. The heat has to be off the charts in this place. They just got an open. Barrel of super flammable liquid. Just sitting on a second story that he can dump on this. Yeah yeah that's that's probably has a thing to say that I wanna talk about the. You're right because it was anticlimactic. It was clearly something. I was looking forward to from the very first frame that sly had matched dangling out of his mouth. Yeah and especially since the lady psycho cop. The second in command. The axe murderers was kind of unceremoniously. Dispatched it was essential friendly fiery. Yeah they could've. But i feel like in this stage in the eighties. You can't just set a woman on fire screaming even if you establish her as being the number two of a sadistic satanic axe murderer cult like they're just like oh that doesn't play right in peoria. If you just set. This looks like a school mom on fire as they quentin tarantino's like you know after Yeah that's can get. You can absolutely brutalize an evil woman on film but back then. I think that's bad but it. It did feel unsatisfactory. It did feel like they. They use the one the best debts on just a a literally. Who dude. i think. This might be one of the first times in cinema that you've ever seen like a laser scope like a you know like What they call the show a red dot. You know where we're actually puts a puts a red dot on something that you shoot these these submachine guns were like this. Really odd brand of gun. I only like four hundred wherever made and then. They kind of came reissued in the nineties. They tried to make a comeback but they were never very successful and use a very odd design. But they're extremely iconic like. That's the thing i remember about. This movie His mirrored sunglasses and his like really cool machine pistol looking thing with the laser sight on it. So that's just alone. Reached out to the manufacturer of that gun and said hey. I want you to reissue. The gun and i wanna be credited as co manufacturer of this weapon for this movie. And they said yes. I wonder when submachine gun started becoming dominant in action movies because up. Yeah usually it was like real like assault rifles machine guns and things like that and you didn't see start seeing the machine pistols and stuff and maybe die hard is die hard where you started seeing like the mp. Fives and you know. That's a good question. I don't really know. Because i remember we were watching. It might have been if i'd have been the first lethal weapon when they shown a swat team and it was just essentially you know cops and slightly different uniforms. But they're just using like In sixteen and stuff you know. I wonder when everything got like really super tactical. Maybe this is like when the first ones where i guess. Read heat and arnold schwarzenegger the year before us. This exact same gun which makes me think that size like i'll go to whatever whatever arnold had got gotta have it but like i wanted films like that started bringing it back to like. Oh smaller sleeker sexier more technical tactical futuristic looking guns. I have a proposition for you ok. Cobra is a christmas film. Oh jesus it apparently takes place entirely the week before christmas. There's tons of christmas lights christmas performances or christmas There's no christmas songs i would. That would seal the deal. We had this just even one jingle bell rock or something but like fifteen twenty percent of its running. Time involves christmas image. Imagery i think does it. I didn't notice any of it. Really the whole shootout in the beginning. There's christmas like this. The guy that gets shotgun collapses in the two different. Christmas trees wa. I did notice any. Or you're you're in midsummer grinch mode man your your your christmas radars burnt out. You're not you're not looking for it. Sure is why some things. I did notice though unlike this nurse. So there's a scene where anger is is in the hospital right and the night stalker nights slasher. Whatever is coming after in hospital. He's dressed as a janitor. He's got this mop bucket and he's roaming the halls looking for and the nurse notices. Hey that guy he's here awfully late to be mopping. That's a little strange. What she doesn't notice is it literally. This entire facility is carpeted bottom. Top like the whole fucking thing is carpet and the thing that she notices. Is that the mop guy. Is there too late. He's he's normal schedule mopping the floors. That's weird are you fucking kidding me. I don't know if they shot this in an office building or what. This is like kind of mistake. Only come about from like last minute. Production shit and somebody who like yeah. You know scouted the location but didn't read the script closely enough and didn't think about. Oh the guys got a mob. Maybe we should have played. It doesn't have carpet. Also hospitals famously. Don't have carpet. There's all tie for matter and blood spurting and you wanna be able to clean that shit in a way. You can't do like like what kind of maniac has a fully carpeted bathroom. I know i know people did and is in the seventies especially. Maybe maybe there was like a rash of carpeting in hospitals in the seventies as before people like wait a second line bucket. Why does the mop guy seemed normal except for his routine is off. Yeah yeah that's hard to explain really.

"You know. He gives a anchorage shit about her. How much catch up. She's putting on her fries even though she's she's got unhealthy looking as a matter of fact you could probably use it a couple extra calories. She's a little thin eighties coq. Au that's the other thing they bring her in interrogator they're like. Do you know anyone who does drugs. Have you ever been around drugs. And she's like no no. Are you fucking kidding me. You're a model in the eighties and you've never seen drugs. And she's like she's like also they throw that in like cobra and his partner look at each other like oh we actually have. This is kind of a non coke-sniffing model. You can take home. The mom you can see mentally shifting her out of the prostitute horror category into the good girl category. It's really gross. You can just see them. You can just see the do it. I yeah oh. I don't i don't ever do. I don't know. i never got mixed up with electronics. What are those never heard. I mean like sometimes. I take an aspirin if my if my head hurts but i will say this a watching these films. I appreciate how on choreographed some of the stuff is in fact. There's a really funny behind the scenes story where like stallone was supposed to have this fight with the stocker lady. You know the the evil cop lady and he kept on she kept on saying. Hey do you. We need to rehearse this. Because i don't know what i'm doing you know i'm an actor. I'm i'm i'm a woman who plays you know lots of things but not people who trade punches this arnold sylvester stallone. He kept on being like. Oh you'll be fine just kind of you know. Just kinda just just kind of do it feels and i guess the first retakes for her just like jumping on his back spider monkey and had this kinda shrug and knocking her off. And he's like okay. Maybe we ought to practice. But i think this would most stunt men. I really think like sly and arnold would just show up to the set. I you you punch me and then i'll punch you and we'll just have a good time with it because like it feels very much like a brawl like you don't have like this. We just talked about jason bourne. How lake it's got three different blends of martial arts from different continents and it's all about. This is just beefy dudes punch each other and the cameras. Stay in with them and like oh man. Wouldn't it suck to get punched by dude to looks like this. That's it that's it. There's no artistry there's no but it it does feel much more real and yeah but there's another time where like you know you see in the fast and furious all the time like they had these money. Shots were vin. Diesel will be in slow motion and he's leg doing a complicated seven spin of his car and he's going to open up the passenger we and you know one of the girls in a series is going to take take a seat just as he gets to her at ninety miles an hour and it's like clearly composite and cg and he's wearing cables like there's a point where sylvester stallone just like jumps out of like a skidding pickup truck does like a nice little tuck role. And that's just slide. Doing a fucking pretty sweet stunt It's kinda dumb and it doesn't really fit in the movie and it's not necessarily cool but he's real he's doing it and i kinda like that. That's true and this is an era. Also when karston were not the three sixty spins that you see in fast and furious or jumping from building to building they were just kinda real dudes in real cars driving fast in dangerous ways. I think the car chase scene is probably the best scene of this entire movie. It's pretty good and it contains like a. I call this the rockford file. Which is anytime you've got a car. That's backing up. And then you you slam it in drive and you whip over the wheel so you can see. you can. Seamlessly go from high-speed reverse to forward. I've never seen a double rockford with machine pistol. Finish is pretty impressive like allies is like you know he's going going forward. He backs it up those in reverse. Now he's disease going full throttle and backwards like blows his windshield out and takes out all these guys with his submachine gun and then he'd reverse rockford's and he's going back and again no cg no white stuff on cables. It's just stunt dudes driving cars and looking really bad ass. Why they're doing it dako over over hills and ramps and flying out of like second storey parking garages and i mean. What the fuck putt. Putt course or they driving on this treat has the succession of gentle hills. And he's got to be someplace in san fran. Right is where you always go when i do crazy jumps in an urban environment. But they're launching every one of them is just launching these cars. And it's i don't know it looks. Incredible is pretty wild There's at some point Also just like just kind of unreal geography like they get shot at this hotel in the middle of no place. A sly is and this is pretty cool stunt to. He's like standing in the back of a pickup truck like with his twin pistols. And he's blasting the guys coming at him he shoot and dudes off motorcycles. That's pretty cool. Plus i'm sure he was wearing some kind of cable attached to his belt but like he's just looks like he's standing there and two stunt man's weaving it you know like that's medium risky and again very real. But then they like. I don't know they wrecked the thing and slide jumps off and talks and he grabs bridget and they hustle through the next set pieces now through a citrus farm. Which is cool. I don't think i've ever seen a shootout in a citrus grove. I have never seen so they fight their way through the citrus grove. And suddenly they end up in what. I can only assume an orange juice factory. Because i don't i don't understand but it's a heavy industry. Orange juice factory like big pits of molten metal. It's determinator tubes climax but it's right next door. I cannot stress how he runs from a line of citrus from orange trees right into the sliding giant factory door where literally hell is happening. No there's so much fire in this place it's ridiculous. They have a hallway of fire. Which i assume is for some a kneeling or some some crazy shit on orange juice. That's how they're getting a pulp out right. They have a trench. I mean it's just it's just a trench dug into the floor that they're dumping molten metal into for what the juice that's how they're pasteurizing the orange juice so it stays better dirt floor with the trench that they're pouring this super liquid into i. I don't know man none of this inmate any sense and we talked about like how sometimes like in the quiet place. We talked about part two. How sometimes it's a pleasure to be like. Oh i see that moving part and see this moving on. I see that. I wonder how this is going to like as soon as they stepped in. There's like these giant fucking meat hooks coming across You know the the field of view simultaneously. There's these huge puddles of liquid metal and five portals. The hell on.

"Off streets every thirty five seconds. Six dogs are murdered every minute and a half so monroe rubs cocoa butter on my muscles this all all these all these crime stats of lag. How many burglaries. How many thefts how murders. How many rapes and it's like. You're slowly staring down about barrel of a gun. Like i mean like i said i've seen dirty harry. I've seen deaths death wish i have. I don't know that. I've seen something like this much amped up where it's just against the problem is we got criminals. And we got soft judges and soft politicians and blah blah blah blah blah and also men and. I know that we saw like. I guess that this is a much more violent film and it was cut down because yeah i want. I want to talk about a couple of reasons but part of the reason is cut down is because it was like too violent but i gotta say the first fifteen minutes and movie i feel like it suffers because the way they established that the this this first cult axe murderer leader that we see that goes into like they show him right up on a motorcycle and parks in a handicapped spot right and he goes on a rampage. But he's just shooting heads of lettuce and watermelons unlike he. Finally i guess like the show that he's the epitome of evil he like picks this one guy the crowds like you can go now and as he almost gets the door. Shuts cuts down there shotgun. And that's what you're talking about. The the media has really given it to cobra. Brady like oh you did you use excessive force and he liked goes over to a gurney any like raises the sheet and shows the guy who got shot a shotgun rescues family about whether use excessive force. And i'm like yeah. It's really trip to watch this. And twenty twenty one because i'm thinking of like the recent high profile murders and it's like colbrad he goes over and it's like pulls over a sheet and it's just a convenience store guy with a fake twenty dollar bill stating they're alive this guy and his family or it's a. It's a person that bought a loose cigarette on the street. What address this guy has. This pack of cigarettes gone through rigorous safety standards or as he paid all of his property taxes before. Like you just pick a random house in the street walks into their bedroom and lifts their covers off and says why. Don't you ask them if they wanted to be. Busted you oversleep and you know that shit. The actual the actual axe murders fifteen miles across in and they actually already haven't been custody. He's gone to this house and shoot them out in the tone of this movie is unconscionable. Now it's it's rebuy. No i know and again. There was a very real. I mean this is a very real culture or action to a crime wave. it was caused by you. Know bunk over leaded gasoline. and and. but it's really where where are where we are with that. I mean yeah and like it's really funny like now that we're kind of like universally like if you look across the board like violent crime is at some of the lowest points we've ever seen in in since we started keeping track of statistics you know and yet we still have the same mentality this this thin blue. Line this You know Militarized police this You know you gotta have these guys. Zombie squad's out here doing shit color outside the lines. Because if we just left it up to the lawyers and judges we'd be anarchy is just i guess that would be. That would be the way the parody this is you just reshoot it put co brady and he is is literally like one address. This guy did that almost accepted a counterfeit dollar. You know counterfeit twenty once you ask his parents of what they feel about the situation like. Yeah you know because that's the only way you can make it. Because inside the universe of colbrad cobra agrees with colbrad. Obviously he is correct and he's right and all that stuff but yeah it's it's a trip to watch how and and it's not just that the they've got crooked cops working on the force and providing intelligence to the bad guys like it's just a bad is the bad scene. It's it's one step removed from judge. Dredd oh yeah. We're we're talking about kind of random stuff. What is your impression of colbrad. he's apartment. I don't understand it. Yeah a loft studio kind of thing in a in in you know. I don't know at okay neighborhood and in. La it's all done in like white He's he goes on link to the police headquarters records. Yeah he's got a. He's got a whole batman. A bat cave setup where he's got like a fingerprint things and all this stuff like he's he's essentially kind of batman and they're he's cutting his pizza in half scissors. He's hiding a gun cleaning kit in a carton of eggs that he keeps in the fridge. I thought whoa he's a cop is on like a really low salary but it doesn't the that idea doesn't match up with his apartment which is actually pretty nice. Yeah it's messy but kinda upscale why doesn't he have like a nice leather case for his gun cleaning kit. Why isn't he or by nadi legal. Like it's it's like he's he's hiding it like this is. This is a custom off market gray market gun cleaning kit. There's there's some accession. The cobra has with nutrition and sylvester. Stallone probably has with nutrition and his job and violence and and the like macho stature that he likes to portray their some weird mixed there. That's going on in this movie. And i don't understand it. Yeah and i was trying when he brought out the the pizza and the egg carton. I thought he was going to take by the pizza and crack a raw egg. Put it into his mouth and just like go between pizza and fucking and win the gun. Cleaning kit was inside and he starts cleaned. I'd like lost my fucking mind. Who like what is this is a weird interesting specific detail but who where did it come from like. Did you re it's dumb. It'd be like like a dentist keeping a toothbrush in the icebox or something. Like you know. Like i get if you're a little old lady and you keep your checks your money in like a ice cream sandwich box in the refrigerator because you're afraid someone will steal it. That's the last place to look like. His guns are sitting on the counter but the gun cleaning kit is hidden in. I don't know it's wild. It is man. yeah. I don't know what his nutrition thing is but his partner is always like going for the cake and the gummy bears right and the bad foods and he's always trying to push them toward the.

"While came. I was thinking six. But that's because of my. Like i said my mind is stuck on the edited version that i saw but seeing so much clint howard i would have to give it an eight really well. He not because it's an give it a seven and a half to an eight just because it's such a fun movie that now if you're looking to take it seriously then of the not gonna get hot but it's for what it is it's definitely falls into that eight zone to me. Give it probably a seven six seven seven. It's me personally. I wouldn't give it an eight is not that good. But you're you're definitely right. It is a. It's a fun movie to watch on a rainy day. Or if you just want to watch a really cool racine a car chase. This would be the movie to do it but it also just screams mid one thousand nine hundred eighty s does. That's one of the reasons. I love it. I mean even even that same when the car hop getting the burgers and everything that restaurant the whole vibe. That whole scene is stupid as it was just people talking just looking at the background and just kind of feel the atmosphere. Because i don't think they were acting. I think they've probably were just filming someone having lunch. What was funny. Is that like i said. That burger place didn't exist. They actually don't that for the movie in like 'cause the you see them cooking the burgers so they must have been stalled the grill while i wouldn't be too hard. It's probably propane powered. Right in. From what i understand. I think it's still there that the shell of that building. I think still exists. I don't think they've torn it down yet I know a lot of a lot of this was filmed. I believe it was outside of scottsdale. Arizona was According to internet movie database was tucson tucson. Okay you gotta admit the the desolate feeling 'cause for example. We've seen them job in their cars from that burger joint drive and then race to the mountains so my question is then later on when you see charlie sheen pickup carry in their. They're driving through the through town when gutter boy tried to run him off the road. What's the distance here amine.

"Replicas for the actual racine and Because it a lot of times he's carter completely destroyed his the wraith will park it across the road and the other car slams into it and whatnot but they wanted to make sure that none of these cars were damaged but i guess in one of the race scenes part of the front end was scuffed up really bad the paint job alone on these cars were eighty thousand dollars just for the paint job and charlie sheen ended up it was i guess it was years. Later because chrysler was not selling their prototypes. He bought one of them. It is now sitting there. I guess last year it came up for auction in it. Sold for like three hundred thousand. Five hundred thousand but the original car the first one off the production line is actually in a museum in auburn hills michigan in at the time until the viper came out. This was the fastest production car in the collection. They had one hundred ninety five miles per hour. It's an absolutely gorgeous car what you said. It's one of my one of my dream cars in that color scheme because it did you know the wheels of this car the color they call it root beer brown root beer brown on a base black. It's a basic black coat. And then they did twenty six coach of per allies and then over thirty coats clear on the top. Because if you watch it in the movie it looks black at night until the sun hits it and as it moves you see flashes of purple going threat at the time. This was a new thing. And i was reading here. A guy by the name of wile sir. I think i'm pronouncing that right. Was a huge fan of this movie in he track down. What happened to mold. He was able to find him a junkyard. The molds of the original movie river the original car and he's built four replicas from the original molds. He built one from shelf. One for his buddy and i think he gave the other two away for like our car shows auto.

"That's disrespectful. Don't don't say if you look at his face and like his facial features you it makes you wonder if they used him for beavis. Now you mentioned it i can. I can kind of see that. But he's like. Is you like functionally retarded or something. I mean i think the i think they were. They were just burnt out. Druggy burnouts like proto meth heads. Proto method well. You got one guy drinking hydraulic fluid. Maybe they should have you know changed up their drug of choice. Yeah so everyone's hanging out at At big kay's burgers which interesting we did not exist when this movie was filmed that whole thing was built just for the movie. Same thing with the hotel across the street. Sorry i'm just kinda listening and kinda rethinking the entire movie because it. It's one of those things. It's so much sci-fi meets the seventy car chase movies where there's not a you know it's just watching and watching the cars and that's the biggest entertainment part of it. It's not so much that the characters are there. Why would agree. The cars are definitely the stars this movie but like when they do the initial chase for They race they race the race. The music they use was the first one they were using. It was an ozzy. Osbourne song wasn't it wasn't it wasn't secret loser. Secret loser was used in the very first race on the road with the daytona but in every race they have period rock music. And you gotta admit it's cool as hell yeah there. They're my favorite part. My favorite part of the movies was listening to the music and watching the cars. In fact i'm drawing blanks. Because i just watched it last week again to catch up given life has been rather stressful. So i'm probably didn't focus as much as i should have for doing a movie review but my mind just keeps going back to the cars and the music and not the characters except for clint howard's hair as she as he races the race dozen win he kills. Whoever he's racing against in fact. Augie fisher is the first one that i can't remember the actor's name i didn't write his i've never seen him in anything else. Have you guys not. I think it's griffin o'neal okay but he's killed and then of course we're introduced to the guy who is the best. One liners in this whole randy fucking quaid. Who plays the sheriff. I actually had a hard time taking him seriously. As the sheriff part of its voice and and the other part of it. It's like it's like cousin. Eddie's is trying to be a hard ass right. i was thinking it'd be noticed at the beginning of the movie as the comets or whatever go together forming up the car. Do you notice one of them. Blows through a sign that says you know. Re-elect reelect sheriff. Loomis with big pitcher raid equate at blows right through his face kinda makes me wonder did did he not get reelected in. That's why his real name is eddie. Later on his life goes to shit and we see him again in like a family vacation. John russ is gonna say wasn't when they first the first family vacation. The road trip wasn't he living in arizona when they founded came up two cousin. Eddie's inner too good question I have to go back and check it out..

In you know the engine souped. They raised him. He tries to kill him. Goes back and he ends up handing them off the title from there we see solo shot. I will say this wherever they filmed this. Somebody was gorgeous like straight highways. Going off in going off into the distance it was filled in arizona so as their you have charlie sheen driving up on a dirt. Bike plunged contentious. Charlie sheen is the reincarnation of a guy named jamie hankins. He was dating sherline fen while they were up by the river packers gang of comes in knocks.

"And the band hates it man. They absolutely hate what they're listening to. What is this that we're listening to. You know because it wasn't there in that wasn't what they envisioned if they all of his mastering they had all everything he put into it the arrangements they hit the trump the head everything. They hated everything. Like this is not at all we had mon. So then they become completely unruly and we demand to be done. And he's going to do it. I'm not going to change things. This is out his albums going to be. This is the order of the songs. It's going to be this way like you talk about where he was like. We're not having near god into your rhetoric. Your record company sent me a check in a mandate and i got the cash. The check in i'm gonna follow mandate and that's the end of it. Sorry the ironic thing is years later. They went back and realize that there was a wiring issue when they mastered this in the recording senate very tinny okay and so then they realize the polarity was off who or the channels they reverse the polarity and suddenly. The album sounds incredible. And that's the version that you and our listening to that's the remastered. We're gonna listen to you in so after. Andy partridge being such a dick about all. this stuff. Turns out he was right. He was right. Yeah to be wrong about the arrangements and the order was right about the fact that sounded bet in todd. Rundgren was so adamant about this. That even the record company goes kind of thin and he just quit. He's like fine. You guys finish it. And so they had somebody come in and finish the mastery. That's crazy. yeah they go home to back to swindon. They go back to britain and they start telling her body. That was the worst shit ever. It's going to suck. It's gonna absolute suck. They had a couple of singles that hit and they told her by. This is gonna suck and those singles did flop they did. They didn't go anywhere they didn't know they even tried it in the us But in britain they flopped and they were they were spent. I think they released grass was one of the singles and it just like people change. The channel didn't get yeah In so it wasn't until a believe it was in florida. A college radio station gets grass. That had the b. side of dear god right and goes wow. This is really really out there. We're going to spend this of care about grasp but we'll go ahead and spend besides yeah and so Man they put that in people around the went crazy so they started playing it in like a virus it just kind of took off and what a fantastic thing from that time period though. The b-side is lisa. Because i can remember buying you know. We didn't have enough money for the whole tape. Apia pop on down to your local sound warehouse target and shell out the two or three bucks for the single of the song you wanted and you never knew what was going to be on the other side and sometimes it sucked sometimes. It was great and sometimes you went and bought the album and whatever was on. The b side wasn't on the album. Yeah that's right you know it's like this is. Where did this random song come from. It's like the song ferry just like. Should i had no idea how this worked. But if once again in streaming world that we live in now it's a total concept this idea of the b. side of something that was not good enough or was not it just didn't make the cut for some reason. How's that like there was not good enough but for some reason it didn't make the cut but that they would put it on the b side of a single people. Got to hear it anyway. Just incredible it is an in it if not for that. This album would have been lost. A lost memory completely lost. It is an album that everyone overlooked every. Listen to By the way to know that strawberry fields was a b side. Really i did not know that and i think maybe come together was a beside. Maybe their top ten most popular songs ever were both be a. I saw a list. I wish i'd written down There were some very popular. Besides the good vibrations by the beach. Boys was beside yeah Or it was actually released as a single But that's beside single. Yeah it was between albums so it was even so of course of course. Andrew partridge has to copy the beach boys and beatles with his only hit of the album being besides. Maybe there's a master plan in there somewhere. I mentioned the fact that the radio stations were getting death threats that were getting bomb threats at. That's the best way to make things. Go crazy to threats. Yeah and so the whole no. No publicity is bad publicity and then suddenly they thought todd rundgren was a genius because suddenly they have money and suddenly their record contract was renewed. Suddenly they are all during. And i should know. That's right. yeah they've since broken up they don't they don't play anymore. I've seen some interviews with andy partridge and he's justice. Wacky was just kind of out there. Just a very very strange odd duck. You know Is he a guy from the beach. Boys weird or not quite there gathering. The beach boys was crazy enough. But i think. Andy has a little bit of that. But i mean he. He says he's he's a self professed on the autism spec right so he just sees things in a different way. Sure if you try to reason with someone who is adamant about this one way. I can totally see where he would just think that everybody was against him. That's point yeah. I get where he's coming from. He had a vision. He wanted it to go a certain way. And it just didn't go man once again. If it had gone his way nobody would have given a shit there were known about. Yeah i it's an interesting album. It's one that you probably have never heard of definitely have never heard any of the singles. Unless you've heard dear. God dear god is going to be the last one we come to So what we're going to do is take a little break and when we come back we're going to full spin of the nineteen eighty six album by exte-.

"By my co host jason. Hey how's it going today. We're going back to the excess eighties. And we're going to discuss a very unique concept album by british group. That had such a unique background in composition that it truly is one of a kind and today we are going to dissect nineteen eighty-six hallmark. Eighties album skylark. My ecstasy unique is a very good choice of words for the. It's weird right. It is really about the way. It was built the way that the album was put together. The wait was ridden. Oh yeah well all the all of the pieces to the puzzle and you lose some of this in the intro about bringing in the outside producer who in creamy from wrong here but todd rundgren was famous for producing guys like meatloaf i mean. Yeah right. I mean this right Like seventies cheese rock. Yeah and and i mean no disrespect. That's what it is. I mean i i'll piggyback off it with you. I would mean all disrespect. That's that style of music is awful. Yeah yeah that that that whole it was like suspended chords and kind of like augmented. I mean just like it was just rendered obviously had talent When you brought this album in and we were researching it. And i don't think there's really anything he's ever been associated with before this a good like this be that i probably liked. Yeah yeah i mean that's the guy's got talent but it's an interesting choice for the record company to go. Hey you'd be the right guy for these guys well. It's a funny thing that you say that because todd rundgren Power pop superstar of the seventies in by the way in case. You've never heard todd render. We're not focusing on todd rundgren. But at while i was here i figured i'd go ahead and give you an example. He's a big piece of the puzzle. So he said no he is. I should and here is his most famous song. You've probably heard this song on classic rock radio. I know for sure. Dennis miller used to use this song. At least it did once when i was kid kind of the late eighties when he was coming in the weekend. Update right all right. But this is todd render this phone call. I saw the light from nineteen seventy. Was it this in the johnny cocaine movie below. I seem to remember this being like i could be wrong. Because it's kind of this style. Seventies music all kinds of sounds the same. Sounds like it album actually is a really good help. If you like this style of music you might know this one. yeah just covered induce chills. Oh yeah it's not my at all kinda like just kinda wakey rock But it's pop at. Its whatever it was going on with bell bottom romance and yeah yeah there you go absolutely. It's totally that kind of stuff so once again like really strange choice. Yeah so let's let's talk about todd. Rundgren real quick Just so we can kind of be done with it. He did have. That breakout album that we just played from that was something anything from nineteen seventy two He had that song. I saw the light in. Hello it's me. The two songs that i just played albany also had a song in nineteen ninety-three that was pretty big called bang the drum all day. That's all yeah absolutely a complete whipping of song of whipping of a whipping of weapon yet. And i would even go so far as to say that. His production techniques were really overdone. Look for what for what i like. Music it just seemed like it was way over done. Sure i agree with that completely. But let's talk about the album's because he he was a pop star but he was really more well known as a record producer right His record you might not know that well but you mentioned meatloaf out of hell right. Which is that with. Jim stein and like it or love it or hate it. I would say hate it for me but it was a very very very popular album. I'd say what if i'm planning cornerstones for the for the seventies. I'm probably gonna make that a cornerstone because sure sure especially if that that genre which was so ubiquitously kind of think i may have lowered their ubiquitously piteously. So popular true really. Harnessing some of the drama kid type music That bad of hell the way it was composed and the way it was written by meat loaf in jim steinem lineman. Yeah the whole thing is like his whole persona was really theatrical theatre. Type stuff when you. I remember being a kid and like seeing the cover for bat. Outta hell's what is this is this is this is this is this is. This is going to be amazing. And then he gets on a terrible. What is happening. is that a piano. What is going on. He also did bad fingers straight up in in grand funk railroad's wearing american band sing along groovy says rock and roll off you. All three of those are huge in the seventies. Absolutely so as he transitioned out of the early success that he had As being actual performer in the end started getting into where he was actually doing production He was pretty well known as as a guy that could come in. And just kinda sav problems In do so very inventively and for cheaply in that's where we come with ecstasy ecstasy a quick brief history of of this ban there from swindon the the west country of england. And so i if you are in london and you turn your boat towards the southwest. You're looking at swindon. So you're on the thames. Obviously if you for some reason you were to drive swindon you would go through brixton. And that's where david bowie was from. Oh okay In these guys of ecstasy from swindon they spoke with west country. English accent if you want to know about west country english this is what the pirates spoke in so normally when we when we try to fake an english accent we always drop the ours right from from britain. We are in there but on the in if it has cau- of dropped are out in the west country they overdo the are so a pirate. Are they talking over there. And if you listen really close to the way that these s pronounced this. It's very rural very country. And so it's it's Considered kind of crude and a lot of these guys from this area. They would try to drop that accent really. Yeah that's interesting. I didn't know that. I x t c from swindon They were part of the seventies punk scene that they were really one of the The bands that really hit big especially in the uk. And they transitioned into the new wave movement right They were known for a very lively stage performance. Very very upbeat. Lots of energy around. Yeah there were four people in the band at one time. The singer the brilliant. The kind of the brain of everything is andy. Partridge and i don't know if you've if you've figured out through your your investigation of ecstasy. But andy partridge is a wacky fucking. Yeah yeah yeah. It seems like he was a terrible really part person to be in. A band was really hard young with asthma. Matter of fact he started a a decade-long valium addiction that he started off in nineteen eighty-four in part of his addiction to valium in his depression. Because of that they just stopped performing really. Yeah they didn't they stop being alive ban for while it they do. They start before we live in. Well i mean that happens. There's always the guy that just couldn't perform anymore for one reason. Another the begins stuck doing it but that's from a band that kind of made their name being alive ban. That's a that's a heart heartbreak to take it sure is But it's interesting that it happened that way so if if you think about bands that were huge that perform big and everyone loved And they stopped performing live..
