Is There a Cheesier Movie Than "Karate Kid"? Chris Kohls Weighs In
"I got to ask the question here. How cheesy is this movie, Chris? Well, I will tell you what, there is a lot of cheese in this movie. With cheese grated on top and then toasted with an extra little slice of cheese added onto. There's like triple layers of cheese. Do we showing the opening scenes? I mean, on the beach, I mean, it is just so cheesy. With Elisabeth Shue rolling the ball over there, dude. It is cheese on. It is grand fromage. Yeah, except except I don't think what you really realize about this is that at the time, I don't think it would have been perceived that way. No. I think part of the reason that it's so cheesy today, we look at it, we think it's so ridiculous today, is because this movie set a standard that would be then copied and perfected over the years. Today, you would never see a film, which is just this kind of underdog story. And that's it. You would see this as a sub story. You would see this as a secondary character, something like this. There would be a primary story, and then the secondary story would be this guy getting bullied at the school, and he's got a face as bullies by the end of the film. That would be a secondary story or even a tertiary story. And the reason you don't see that as the primary story much anymore is because this movie did it so well that it was then repeated and copied a thousand times since then. And it's become cliche. It's become cheesy. But I think at the time, I don't think it was considered cheesy. I think it was just a very, very well produced picture.

Why Chris Kohls Wanted to Review the Original "Karate Kid"
"Chris Cole's welcome back. It's been a while. Yeah, it has actually, not for the listener, or the viewer, but for us it has because we shot these in a weird order. It has it feels like a really long time, but it's so fun to get back into it, and what a great movie to do so with Karate Kid a classic. The first in a franchise, cartoons remakes, you name it now a new TV show Cobra Kai a spin off. You chose this movie, why did you choose it, Chris? Well, you know, this is one of my childhood favorites. I think it's my brother's was my brother's favorite movie for many, many years. And it's just one of these films where when you're a kid, you know, it's an underdog story. It's obviously it's like one of the quintessential underdog stories in history. And underdog stories have existed since the dawn of time. But I don't think they ever made one quite like this, and then once they made Karate Kid, I don't know if everybody remembers this. I was born in 79. So when this movie came out, I was about four years old. But it was a phenomenon. I mean, it was sort of in the same way Beverly Hills cop was. This may have even been bigger because although it didn't do as well as at the box office, this was a movie for kids and at least kids of my generation, everybody just loved Karate Kid. People wanted to take karate, Japanese culture became more interesting to people and this movie just changed American culture. It was a really, really big deal. They did the underdog story better than probably anybody else ever except for probably rocky, obviously. What's the connection? The connection of course is the same director. Yes, same guy who did rocky John Alvin also directed this one. He was accused of making basically rocky with karate for kids, so basically it's a ripoff of his own movie.

Unpacking the Details of the Original "Dune" With Chris Kohls
"Talk about the weaknesses. Let's talk about the good stuff to begin with. Well, a lot of it is the details. I mean, you've got, first of all, who walks in at the beginning of the film. It's captain Picard. And it's Al and it's Al from quantum leap who turns out to be the traitor in the film spoiler alert. Yes. And I'm just sitting there, I'm going, okay, these are already childhood favorites of mine. And Patrick Stewart. Dean Stockwell, an amazing cast. There are some really stand out actors. I actually think that the lead was quite well cast. I think he was quite well cast. And the chick that was in you'll know her name. The chick that was in Blade Runner. Yeah, from Blade Runner. Absolutely beautiful. And even his mother absolutely stunning woman and did a really good job and they did really, really well. Like some of the actors did really well in this film. And even the actors that I think I didn't like because they were too theatrical. I think they were actually fine because I think that's maybe what the director wanted, but it's not what I want to see in a sci-fi film. Talking about theatrical just for a second column, the lead Paul atreides. He had just graduated, theater school. He was in a play in Seattle. He never been to LA, never been to allay as an actor. And this was the first time he'd ever done anything for TV or movies. Not too bad. Yeah, and he was well, I mean, he has that fresh face. He has that look of optimism that sort of Luke Skywalker esque character. And yeah, I think he was well cast. Again, I just think it was a little too theatrical, but you know, there are things like if I compare the main villain, the primary villain. The baron, the baron, the baron, harkonnen. If I compare him to Darth Vader, Darth Vader is one of the most iconic villains in the history of cinema. Darth Vader looks cool. Okay, Darth Vader looks cool. Harkonnen is revolting.

Sebastian and Chris Kohls Review David Lynch’s “Dune”
"Just say this about dune. I did not expect it to be good at all. I was dreading watching this film. 'cause you never seen it, right? I'd never seen it. I have seen the first half of the new film. The remake that's split the story into two halves, right. And I fell asleep like 6 times watching it. It was terrible. And I thought, oh God, I got to sit through this again, right? So I watched this one, and I do have to say, it's a lot better than the new one. And there are like these little hints of genius throughout the film. I have to say, there are moments of genius in this movie. And I can see why some people love it and why some people hate it. And maybe through the course of the hour, we can figure out why some people love it. Some people hate it. The reason I think maybe a lot of people hate it is because those moments of genius are fairly inconsistent. Do you have moments of genius and then you have moments of kind of tacky, weird stuff, and the thing that I want to compare it to a Star Wars. Because Star Wars very obviously ripped this story off from the novels, right? This is a novel originally. And I think for film, Star Wars did it better. Star Wars everything was very real and naturalistic George Lucas tried to make everything as realistic as possible. Whereas dune kind of feels like I'm going to see a Broadway show a little bit. Interesting. All right, look, this is where this is where it gets really fun because I watched this as a kid. I was 13 years old. I think it has been unduly maligned. Yes, there are issues with it, all the exposition, the voice-over stuff. I get it. But some aspects of it, I mean, the battle sequence. They had some battle sequences where they had 3000 people in the Mexican desert. I mean, just stunning. Is that true? Yeah. They had 6 Chris, they had 6000 costumes built by hand. 6 thousand costumes made for some of those costumes are amazing. Oh, my gosh. I mean, just the still Suits alone

Sebastian and Chris Kohls Review the 1984 Film "Beverly Hills Cop"
"We are here to make movies great again. I'm Sebastian gorka, and we are joined as ever. By mister Reagan, Chris Cole. Beverly Hills cop. Oh jeez. Why did you pick this move? I love it. Why did you pick this movie? Well, let me just say, I think this may be my favorite movie that we've done so far. And it's not because it's necessarily the best movie that we've done so far. But the reason is because I think it's the movie that I've seen the least often since I was a kid. I think probably it's been the movie that the longest amount of time has passed since I've actually watched it. And I kind of forgot how good it was. You know that it's a legend sort of intellectually in your head, right? You know, there's this legendary film. But it doesn't have a sequel like Ghostbusters does recently. You know, it hasn't been in the news like Back to the Future has recently. A lot of these films are kind of still in the public consciousness for whatever reason, Beverly Hills cop seems to have faded into obscurity and I'm not really sure why, but it really is a masterpiece. It's fantastic. This movie, although you look at these opening scenes in Detroit, yeah, it's dated. You look at the vehicles that cop cars, the cruises, yeah, this is a movie from 1984. But nevertheless, my word. I have to agree with you. This is just such a fun film to watch. And of course, it's the first movie that had Eddie Murphy in a title role that really this is the one that propelled him to international stardom.

Chris Kohls AKA Mr. Reagan: "Highlander Is a Weird Movie"
"I will say that highlander is a weird movie. 'cause I'm trying to look at it in the sense of like, what would a modern audience somebody growing up today that doesn't know, even that shot is weird? So much about this film is weird. But you are right to love this movie. And I'll tell you why. This movie has one of the most bizarre but most brilliant, I guess what you would call mythologies. Of the modern era. You know, I love films that I love stories that create an entire mythology and it works. It's encapsulated. It's done well. And I forgot. I actually forgot what at the end of the film was the reward. The prize. What is the prize? And I forgot what it was. And I was sitting there and I was thinking like, what is the prize? What is the prize? And when it was finally revealed, I was thinking, yes, that is a good prize. What else would you give an immortal, right? That's right. That's right. And the prize is for those of you who haven't seen the film. And this will be a spoiler alert, so close your ears if you don't want to hear it. You get a sort of universal telepathy. You can read the minds of any human being on the planet. You can feel their emotions. You can know what they're thinking. And this is actually an incredibly powerful superpower. You become professor X, actually, in a way. Right, but beyond that, you get to live a normal life because that's right. You get to have children. And I think it's kind of inferred that you're no longer immortal. You get delivered normal life because he falls in love with his squeeze, and he's allowed to stay with her. Why? Because as Sean Connery taught him as Ramirez taught him, you mustn't fall in love. You mustn't get married because your wife will die. You will live on and they will age. So I think the ultimate prize is to no longer be in immortal.

Chris Kohls Reflects on Harold Ramis' Performance in "Ghostbusters"
"Any hobbies? I collect spores molds and fungus. Another classic line perfect for T-shirt, the late great Harold Ramis. There was supposed to be a side bar story of a romance between Annie Potts Janine and Harold Ramis character. It wasn't really developed, but he brings so much to all of this as well as the person who helped scale back aykroyd's script and make it far more manageable ramus didn't just act in it. He also wrote a lot of the final Ghostbusters. Yeah, him and reitman says that he basically came up with the whole concept of this as a startup business as opposed to an already existing business like franchise, which was originally was going to be. And yeah, what they did here is great. It's almost like a superhero origin story. And I got to say Egon is perfect. Whatever, you know, Harold Ramis was thinking Egon was going to be. He said, I played it as a new age Spock from Star Trek. It was spark for the 1980s. Perfect. Perfect. But see, the weird thing is he doesn't come across as Spock. But he comes across as whatever, you know, a scientist, a serious scientist who really takes his job seriously. He does have this kind of ability to almost to take things too seriously and not to get jokes and to take everything literally like it's unclear whether he even understands that the secretary is hitting on him. That's not even obvious. So it's like, and he's perfect. The way he plays that he created, you know, sometimes when we're acting, we think we're presenting the character in one way, and then you watch it back and it's something else. And this is one of the reasons why some actors hate watching themselves. Because they're like, oh, that's not really what I was trying to do. It doesn't matter if the audience loves it, it wasn't what you were trying to put on screen. But whatever he was trying to put on screen, this worked.

This is the only part of the week that I genuinely look forward to. The rest of us just reading about transgender people and whatever the hell is Joe Biden's mumbling that day. No, I like you, you said this before we started the show today. I just love this part of the week. I just love this one. The fact that I have to have to make time every week to watch really cool movie, then make some notes and then just talk about it with you, Chris. It's amazing. Fantastic. Fantastic. All right, so you chose this movie. Let's start with the fact that some of my team members here, they don't get it. They don't think they don't understand what the hullabaloo is. Come on, Chris, this is like iconic, no. Oh, I think part of it has to do with the fact that you got to understand today, everything is computer generated graphics. Everything is bright colors and pretty pictures and everything's magnificent. Back then, you didn't have this kind of very special effects heavy movie come along every day. And when this one came along, it not only had the beautiful special effects, which for us was actually, I mean, this was the best that we had. This wasn't like, you know, it's sort of like, when you go back in time and you talk about the kind of toys that we had to play with as kids and stuff like that. I mean, this movie looked really cool, but also you had to pair that with really why I would say a fantastic story. One of the best stories in cinema, and these guys are just great characters, fantastic characters. So you put everything together and you know what? It was just a heck of a lot of fun.

Dr. G and Chris Kohls Discuss the Imagery of "Conan the Barbarian"
"A little bit about the world that was created by mister Howard and also the man who I think probably more than anybody else before the movie. Helped us to visualize this world of Conan, and that's the artist Frank frazetta. So let's put up some of these incredible images. These were actually the covers of the novels in the 60s and 70s that I think, along with heavy metal in France, kind of helped to define a whole genre. So you don't get Conan, you don't get sword and sorcery. You don't get that whole subculture of media and movies without this, his Conan, the aged Conan the king, this is a whole world in and of itself, isn't it, Chris? Oh yeah, you know, everybody in the documentary that I watched the sort of behind the scenes documentary. Talked about these images, these paintings, and back then back in like the 70s, that was a really big deal. If you had amazing cover art, you mentioned you mentioned heavy metal magazine. Yeah. They made a heavy metal movie. And I just watched a YouTube video comparing the heavy metal movie with 5th element, the movie 5th. Totally. And they essentially ripped off the heavy metal movie. Yeah. Almost seen for scene, in some cases, with the 5th element. And it had that kind of influence in the 1970s that people don't really remember. I don't think. And I certainly didn't really understand this until I got much older because I wasn't around back then. So I didn't know about it. I was unaware. So what are these things that get to lost in time? We lose our perception of the things that influence the things that we love sometimes. And this

Sebastian and Chris Kohls Review the Cast Of "Conan the Barbarian"
"Let's start talking about the cast. We have William Smith playing the blacksmith who is the father to Conan, and here we have well, it's about steel and it's a riddle. I forgot the secret of steel and nothing on the battlefield. We found it. I just meant that God's a giant. The secret of steel has always carried with a mystery. He was foolish for Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one. No one in this world can you trust? Not men that women have beasts. This you can trust. What an incredible, incredible performance. So hypnotics, the manly man. Do you recognize the actor William Smith and where we saw him most recently, Chris? No, I don't. But the funny thing you mentioned how good this performance is, it's actually a relatively small part of film. Yeah. It's just this little sliver of this film. And it's so epic and it's so well done. Excuse me. Yeah. What do you want to see on? Live radio. That's what you want to see. Okay, just brilliantly done. I mean, this is what you can do with such a small part, right? I mean, this is truly a great act of this man. What has he done recently? Well, this is the interpreter. This is the interrogator, the intelligence officer. In real life, in the Korean War, who was colonel in red dawn. Do you remember the colonel who? Of course. Of course I have another movie. Another buddy of milius. 'cause this was first. Right. He gave him a big wig, massive beard, but just, you know, and that scene on the top of the mountain with the clouds going by. It could have been so cheesy, so fake, but it just works. The connection between the sun and the father. All right, talk to us about the rest of the cars. You mentioned some great performances. I'll give you my input, but tell us about the supporting actors. Yeah, you know, I was really struck by the king. This is played by a man named max von Sydow. And I had actually now really heard of this guy before. I've obviously seen him in many films, and I just haven't heard that name. What an underrated actor. I mean, I don't know all the stuff that he's been and I couldn't list you all of his films, but I know I've seen him in many, many projects. And what a fantastic performance. When he's talking about how he's got all this money, he's built up this massive kingdom, but all he cares now is about his daughter that's all he cares about. It's actually a touching performance weirdly

"Sit tight, pull the floor and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not backed by dawn, call the president. Well, I might have the president, president's number, but I just need to know. Chris Cole's, will you born ready or you just thrilled to be alive? There's a couple of things that were missed there. Come on, Eric has to sleep sometime. Eric, Eric, what are you doing? No, the best line in the film is, you know, you know what Jack Burton says at a time like this and the guy says, who's Jack Burton? And he goes, Jack Burton, me. I don't know why I always love that life. And then at the end, he's leaving. He's leaving to go back on the road. And Kim Cattrall sitting there looking all sexy, like, you know, you're just going to leave me here. And her friend says, well, aren't you at least going to kiss her? And he just turns to her and he goes, now. It's just what's up. It's like this movie is so crazy. There's so many unexpected moments. It's so funny. I mean, it's really a funny movie. And I don't know, I love that character. He's such a dope, but his buddy, his buddy, who's sincerely a badass. Wang, treats him with the utmost respect. I mean, he said when he's trying to cheat him out of his night's winnings. Yeah, you have that's true, yeah. But throughout the rest of the movie, as they're going out of this adventure, he sort of treats him like he's almost superior to him as a hero, right? And he's got this, he's sort of like AOC. Totally incompetent, but with tons, tons of confidence, you know?

Chris Kohls Talks Kurt Russell's Role in 'Big Trouble in Little China'
"There was nothing. That that's how it always begins. There is more. Fun way to start a movie that's egg Shen explaining after the event who Jack burden is and how much of a hero he is. Why? Because the producer said, he's such a dance. You've got to explain it. Let's put something in after they filmed the movie. They had to be far, Kurt Russell at the beginning of that little clip. Chris, an unusual character. And in the director's voice-over, if you watch it, they keep talking about the fact that other actors are like her also refused to take this part because they didn't want to look stupid and they just have this ego trip too many egos. I guess that doesn't surprise you having worked in Hollywood. No, yeah. People don't want to look bad. People don't want to look stupid. People don't want to look silly. But every once in a while, you just have to go with it and have a little bit of fun. And yeah, Kurt Russell's great. I mean, what a down to earth guy. He doesn't mind being a little self deprecating. The funny thing about this character is it really is over the top, like massively over the top. Everything he does is in that sort of John Wayne kind of attitude, right? There's a slow draw everything. He thinks that he's the hero of this story. But he's not the hero this story is buddy. Yeah, the little Asian guys, the hero. The little Asian guy. Who can kick anybody's butt? He's really the hero. He's got to save the girl. He's got to do all this stuff. Jack Burton shoots some concrete above his head and knocks himself out at one point in the movie.

Chris Kohls and Sebastian Discuss Powers Boothe in 'Red Dawn'
"The performance from past booth? Well, here's the thing. They needed a character like this. Yeah, totally. Because otherwise it's just a bunch of kids and it's crazy and it's not particularly controlled. You bring in this guy who says, you go, okay, this guy is a real soldier, and he respects these folks. He grows to respect them. And he trains them a little bit and he helps them out. And it becomes a much more believable story this way. Right. So you need this sort of like not Obi-Wan Kenobi type figure, but you know somebody who can come in and train them up a little bit. And yeah, he's the perfect actor for he does a great job. There's a little bit of a weird relationship with him and Leah Thompson. There was a scene that was cut out. Were they going to make love? So who's been raped by the Soviets, totally damaged woman, and then she latches onto him and then they remove that. I think they should have left that in. It was allowed her to sort of recover psychologically, maybe it kind of shows that. And then tell the story. Did you catch the funny story of his death scene what he said about the line milius gave him he said, I can't deliver that line. Did you catch that in the making of? Yes. So everybody cheered for him. He's on the turret. He was throwing the hand grenade in to the Tang. And they get it in the gun him down. And he's like, dying, his death last words is the smoke grenade is billowing around him. He says, shoot straight for once. You army pukes. And he said, I can't say they can't be my death live. And he delivered it and he said in the movie theater. The air force hates the army, it's hilarious.

Chris Kohls and Seb Discuss John Milius' Epic Cold War Film 'Red Dawn'
"Had you seen this movie? I had seen red dawn, yes. We're doing red dawn ladies and gentlemen. Bye. The great John milius. Let's show the picture of me and Chris this morning in my home of the age headquarters. This is the original original theater poster, like thick card of red dawn, signed by the director and writer John milius because we know and you met her Amanda milius. Amanda milius, John milius is very impressive daughter who's also a director. It was also a director she's done some amazing films if you don't see it on film so I highly recommend them. A friend of Sebastian gorka. Yeah, Trump appointees in the State Department. Yeah, yeah. And just a cool person. We have that post. So this is a personal one for me. I'm a huge fan of the general. He was, they had to have to address him on set as general milius. I got another behind the scene documentary that you forced me to watch. I did hear that. Yeah, that's cool though. I think that's cool. So give us initial thoughts on this movie. You know, I did grow up with this film. It's a bit of a violent film. Yeah, it's a tough film. It's a very, I will say, philosophical film. It was accused of being like this pro war. It is not a pro war movie. No, no, no, no. It's a thinking man's film. And if you're not thinking, then I suppose you could perceive it that way. But no, it's a philosophical film. And so I didn't see when I was a child. I didn't grow up with it. It wasn't a big part of my childhood, but I saw it as an adult. I had a buddy of mine, he presented me, my buddy Kurt, who I mentioned sometimes on my show. He's a big movie buff. We're talking one day about films. And he said, he starts talking about the plot of red dawn. I'm saying, wait, wait, the Russians invade America, like rural America in the 1980s? Yeah. How have I never heard of this movie? I just loved the premise. So we watched the film and I thought, wow, what an underrated film that how could I have never heard of this? 1984, it looks even a little bit older than that in my mind because it was set in rural America. Yes. And so there's nothing about it that screams like trendy 1980s. No. World 1980s was more sort of like late 70s. And that was true in my household as well, because I didn't grow up rich or anything. And if you grew up sort of like lower middle class middle class in America in the 1980s, everything you owned, every piece of furniture owned was actually from the 70s.

Chris Kohls and Seb Talk About the Original "Mad Max" Movie
"Talk about Mad Max and at least it's influence. If we say it's an amateurish film made by people who never made a movie before, we've got to recognize one thing and that's the flipping impact this movie had, because after this movie came out, like Blade Runner that we've already reviewed here on making movies great again, it created its own genre, didn't it, Chris? Oh yeah, well, not just this, but the second film in the third film, there was a lot of post apocalyptic films that came out after this. The cars in particular, there had been car chase films before this. There had been car centric films, right? What's funny is I was thinking, okay, they call the villain at the beginning of the film calls himself knight rider. Yes. And then Mel Gibson's car kind of looks like the eventual, right? The intercept, yeah, the black on black. Right. Yeah, a little bit, a little bit. And I'm like, hi, I wonder if this is inspiration for the show night, right? I was thinking the same thing and how did they not have a copyright issue or somebody say, hey, somebody's used that name before again in a movie. Well, I think the knight writer from the show was K, K and I yes. So how do you spell night? It doesn't matter. I'm with a knight as in darkness with an end. I just not done off the peloton. I can't think after I get this. Is that what happens? Is that why peloton should be banned? Honestly, people say, oh, if you exercise, you get like enlivens your it makes me dumb. Like I can't think afterwards. I don't care. Stop exercising. That is the conclusion. Stop exercising. Buy a motorbike and have fun on a motorbike instead. Actually, you know, after watching this film, I did feel a little bit less intelligent as well, so that might be part of it. So why the hell did you force me to choose between this and Ghostbusters two? I need to know why you did this to me. Well, I'll tell you why, because I've always wanted to watch this film. There's a few films I've always wanted to watch because, you know, I've always liked road warrior. I've always thought that the concept of this genre, this post apocalyptic genre is a good idea. I only assumed that the original Mad Max was as good as the hang on. You hadn't seen this at all. Never saw it. I've never seen it. Wow. Okay, all right. That's good. All right. That's why I wanted to see it. I wanted to say it was an opportunity for me to see it. If you came to this cold and I don't think I'd ever paid attention to it and sat down in one go and ever watched it. Maybe seen bits of it on TV or whatever. The first 20 minutes, especially when the night rider flies through the caravan. It's like a comedy.

"kohl" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Of upended, Kohl's competitor in a lot of ways to target, how does it look for Kohl's? Yeah. And there again with Kohl's with Macy's, you're talking about all of the discretionary exposure that target has. But with much less of the kind of basic essentials that target also sell. So I think if you're looking at a company like Kohl's, you're looking at Macy's, you're talking about a company that is trying to convince customers that they should buy stuff. Do they really need it? People's definition varies. You can't put off buy and close forever. But that's a real question, Mark. And I think there's a lot of concern about whether the outlook for those companies is going to be quite weak this year. As consumers continue to struggle with inflation and just try to cut back on all of their non-essential spending. And speaking of non-essential, let's talk warehouse clubs. Now we heard from Walmart and of course, they own sams, but this week we hear from Costco, the biggie, and after that BJ's, they have really had to be nimble and navigate through the pandemic. What's the outlook on Costco the biggie? So Costco has been a big winner during the pandemic. This is a company with a clientele that skews higher income. And it's a company with a reputation for selling very competitively priced goods. It also sells a lot of food. And so it's getting people in the door with food sales. And once they're in the door, a lot of them especially those higher income levels, maybe have a little more money to spend. They're finding a lot more to buy in Costco than they did before. And so Costco's comparable sales had a little dip in November. There was a lot of concern that that was a signal of a big slowdown. But since then, December, January had been quite good for Costco.

Chris Kohls and Sebastian on Sly's Performance in "First Blood"
"Is John Rambo. We served on the same team together in them. I don't know if they ever talked about me. I've got a picture. Of us together. Somewhere. We'll just jump in the box. Here. Here it is. Do this. That's me. That's damn forth. And what's more? Bronson, Ortega, and there's a delmar right in the back. We had to put it back as he's so big if we didn't eat. He didn't cut the whole picture. They got big. What time will he be back? He died. What? God last summer. Died how? Cancer? Brought it back from there. All that orange stuff that spread it around. Cut him down to nothing. I could lift him off the sheep. For me, I've seen it so I don't know if 30 40 times for me that line Chris cut him down to nothing. I could pick him up. I mean, just so powerful. And this scene isn't even in the novel, the novel starts with Rambo walking into the town and teas picking him up. So credit to the script writers also, again, just like rocky, whether it's this scene, the sudden shock, what? He's dead. And compared to the end scene where he literally has a mental breakdown in front of colonel troutman. I'm sorry, slice of bloody good actor. Yeah, he really is. Actually, that scene that you're talking about that final scene, such a beautifully acted scene. And how they bookended the film with the moment that he first realizes his buddy has died of cancer. And the moment where he's sort of at his wits end and Trump is trying to talk him down and he breaks down crying. Sort of holding troutman as if troutman is his father or something, you know? And it's really a beautifully performed scene. It really does evoke emotion. Troutman's holding back tears himself, and you feel like, yeah, this guy does deserve something. He does deserve a second chance. He does deserve sympathy. And from what I understand in the book, Rambo is more of an animal. He's more animalistic. He kills a killer. 200 people in the book.

Chris Kohls Unpacks Brian Dennehy's Performance in 'First Blood'
"Love Brian dennehy. Just a guy who didn't get enough recognition. If you like him, check out the incredible movie gorky park with John Hurt as well, an amazing thriller based in the Soviet Union, talk to us, Chris about Brian Dennis, he's performance. Well, Brian Dennis, in this film, it's such a nuanced character. Yeah. Because he's not necessarily a bad guy. His buddy is more his worse than he is. The guy the guy who falls out of the helicopter. At the beginning, exactly right. But he is essentially the instigator of everything that happens in this film, like he does push Rambo as Rambo says he pushed me, pushed me. Yeah, he's pushing him. He's being a bit of a jerk, you know, at the beginning of the film. And you know what there are guys like that in the police force, right? This is where you get the whole concept of police brutality. Right nowadays, we only talk about police brutality when it's about Black Lives Matter and stuff like that. But since the dawn of time, you give some guy's guns and you say protect the public and there's going to be a few guys who want to abuse that power and nobody likes those guys. We can all relate to Rambo. I think we've all had situations where there's like many, many guys against us or many people against us and we think, man, you just love to go to war with all these guys. And Rambo can do it. So Rambo is kind of like, you know, you're living vicariously through him, standing up against this large group of men and he can actually take them all out, you know? You need a villain like dennehy. You need a guy like that who can really piss you off. Even though he's not necessarily a bad person, he does piss you off, you he makes you hate him. Despite the fact that he's not maybe the worst guy in the world, but you think a little bit, maybe he deserves it. And that performance is just beautiful.

"Let's start by. I chose this movie. As the follow-up to your choice of rocky, did you enjoy watching first blood? You know what's funny is I wasn't really looking forward to it. The reason I wasn't looking forward to it was because I thought I had seen this movie maybe ten times. But I realized that I'd seen this movie maybe ten times in this sort of TV version where it was like cut to pieces. You know, they used to like wash these things up for TV for family viewing in the 80s. And I probably hadn't seen it since I was, I don't know, ten, 11, 12 years old, something like that. So it has been such a long time since I've seen it. It was like watching a movie for the first time again. And you don't really, we watched these movies that we know our classics, modern classics, we consider them, right? And we don't necessarily remember why, or at least I don't always remember why. I just remember as this sort of iconic film from my childhood. But watching this again, you realize there's so much that modern cinema owes to this movie specifically. Like this was the kind of like the first modern action film. This was something we find again and again and again, whichever movie we've picked. We've been doing this for a couple of months now. We find that that movie, whether it's die hard, whether it's this one, kind of becomes a genesis for a genre and has so much a blade ramen. I mean, Blade Runner, how many ripoffs of Blade Runner are there, so I think we're picking the right movies, though, you Chris? I was thinking just, yeah, we definitely are picking the right move. I was actually just thinking yesterday watching a little documentary on the making of andor. I know you like the Star Wars show and or and I didn't. And I realized part of the reason is probably because they made and or look a lot like Blade Runner. They took this almost like an art deco design to it, you know? Yeah, so I was watching. So I watched the movie with my wife, then last night, 'cause I don't sleep. I got up in at midnight. I started watching the movie again with David morrell, the author of the book first blood doing a commentary. Audio commentary. Yeah. It was fascinating. And he's a dude. Is he a movie geek? This guy, I mean, he's reading the thing at the end with the creditor. Oh yeah, and that great stunt coordinator that Hollywood named Steven, whatever. I mean, this guy is such an inside a geek. He used to teach literature in college. And he says, you do understand what first blood did. Up to that point, any movie that had action in it, it had one action thing in the beginning. Every act had one action thing. One for the first act, one for the second and then the culmination. This is the first movie that actually had action from the first act all the way through the movie. It changed it forever, and that's how we get to die hard, Fast & Furious. The marvel movies. So again, and iconic genre creating film. Yeah, yeah, and you forget it until you watch it again. And you think about when it was actually produced, and you realize, yeah, this was the first modern action movie. And it's really done well. I mean, you don't, there's something that I find recurring as well when we watch these films. It's like the reason why it is iconic. The reason why it sort of generated an entire genre of filmmaking is because it was done perfectly. It was done brilliantly, and you really are engrossed in the film from the beginning to the end. It's very difficult, like in a modern film or modern show oftentimes I find myself going to the kitchen, making some food, pausing the thing. I find myself distracted by my phone, something like that. This film, I would get lost in the film. In fact, there was moments when I would try to do something else, and I couldn't because I had to watch the film, you know what I mean? I just loved it from the beginning to the end. There's no downtime. So we just played the opening scene where he finds out that del mar his buddy has died as a result of cancer from ancient orange. It's bucolic. He walks up to that Lake scene, the mountain absolutely beautiful. And then the mood totally changes. When he finds out the last member of his green beret unit is dead, we switch to this scene. It's hope. That's the actual name of the real town. It's meant to be in Washington state, but it's actually in British Columbia, right? So it's a Canadian town pretending to be American. But at this point, you see a total change his face. He's lost it. Last guy out of the unit out of his detachment is gone..

"If you're into Blade Runner, go and see it, I've seen it. It's there, it's real. Let's talk about the rest of the cast Emmett Walsh of Byron James, I think this must have been her first or second movie. You look at Chris and Daryl Hannah as an actor, talk to me about these performances. Yeah, I mean, it's similar to what I said about the last couple of films. There is this sort of cavalier nature to the way that people talk. I know this is kind of supposed to be this stylized film the war, but everything does come across as naturalistic. And in a way that they don't really act and people don't really act this way anymore. And I really loved it. I especially loved when the cop was going through the list of androids that he has to kill. I mean, just the way that he talks about it is I felt like it was like I was really, I was really there. This was a real life thing. These guys are who they are pretending to be. And I don't know, I don't know how they cast this so unbelievably well. Rutger Hauer, how do you tell people, okay, act a little bit unnatural like an Android. But don't overdo it, but don't overdo it. Yeah, yeah, just so subtly that people get the hint that there's something a little bit off. But, you know, and this guy, he was in everything in the 80s, like being a psycho. You know, he pulls off that weird. I think there's something about, in the 1980s, there was something about how they figured out that like, okay, let's cast normal looking folks to be the good guys, and let's cast people that are a bit off looking to be the bad guys. And now it's sort of reversed. They're like, oh, the good guys are all the weird looking folks. And the bad guys are all like the very handsome attractive people. They kind of messed it up in our world. In our current time, Hollywood. I think Harrison Ford, you know, I wouldn't have thought Harrison Ford would be a good choice just because he was so famous from Star Wars. In the glass. I'm sorry. Subtle things. What an amazing moment. You got your holding a little bit of fake blood in your mouth. You've got it lit by cronenworth, so perfectly that you can actually pick it up and you just subtly let that blood trickle into the spirit glass. I mean, that moment. That look, when you talk about when you talk about rutger and the little quirky moments, I must have been awful for my son because every three seconds I was prompting something and say, watch this, watch this, or I was saying the lines back. At the end, when Rutgers hunting him and he's looking out of the window and that kid's hanging off the ceiling. As soon as just as before he comes back in, he does this weird thing where his head is cocked sideways like an animal. He closes his eyes and then he whips his head back in and it's just like, it's perfection. He's a human, but he has this half quarter of a second of animalistic muscle movement. And he's just stunning, Chris. Yeah, I don't know. All the performances are perfect. The casting is all perfect. I was going to say with Harrison Ford, Harrison Ford doesn't look like a cool 80s guy. Harrison Ford has a timeless quality to him. This is why he works as Indiana Jones, because he looks like he could be from the 30s or 40s. And he also looks like he could be a space pirate. I mean, he's got this timeless look that works so perfectly. He's not like the most handsome guy in the room, but he does have this sort of rugged handsomeness..

"All right, so you spawn me this real about being a failure all your life. I don't believe it for a millisecond. And then something happened. What happened, Chris Cole's, tell us the genesis of mister Regan. Well, I think I was watching dinesh d'souza. I was watching. There was a few guys. You mean my Salem colleague, the national Souza. That's what you mean. You're a good friend. I traveled to Jerusalem with just a my last month. Because you must remember, when Trump was elected, it was a kind of a weird time. And Ben Shapiro and dinesh d'souza were like traveling to different colleges. Yes. And they were essentially like getting questions from leftist college students who weren't really prepared to face off against people of that calendar. This is one of the YouTube Shapiro destroys liberal thing. I mean, this is when dinesh destroys. This is when it became a meme, right? Yeah, which by the way, for those who don't aren't aware of this, that was the time in which they started saying words are violence. Yes. And they started blocking people from the college campuses. That was at the time when they started coming up with this theory of like, well, even a conservative idea is dangerous. And so we've got to start. So all the stuff that's happening on Twitter now and social media and YouTube censoring everybody. It's all stems from dinesh d'souza and Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder and these guys. And just being so dang good and even like Milo yiannopoulos, just shutting down leftists so hardcore that it was humiliating for them. Right. And they couldn't and they were like, how do we stop this? Oh, I know. Because leftist ideas are ridiculous. And conservative ideas for the most part are pretty logical and rational. And so when you compare the two, it becomes very obvious very quickly and leftists are like, okay, we've been lying to people for a long time, but not because the Internet people are starting to cop on and get red pilled. How do we stop that? I know, we'll just stop the conservatives from being able to speak at all. We'll control the information, right? And so they took that next step from just presenting a believable lie to stopping anybody from telling the truth. And so that's kind of how that happened. But I'm watching these guys and I'm like, oh man, these guys are so great. I want to see more. And it was one Saturday. I had nothing to do and I really wanted to watch more political stuff. And I had kind of run out of videos to watch. And I thought, you know, some a hole with a camera and a microphone has got to make some new video content for YouTube. And then I thought, wait a minute, I have a camera and I have a microphone. I'm the a hole, and so I grab the mic and I go to the camera. And instantly I thought, okay, who's somebody I admire? Because at the time, people were using pseudonyms for their YouTube channel. And I thought, okay. And you didn't know me yet. I didn't know you personally, you know. But sargon of a cod and these kind of guys that I watched, they used these pseudonyms and I thought that's kind of cool. And I was like a Hollywood actor at the time a little bit here and there. And I thought, well, I don't really want to out myself as a conservative with using my name. So I thought who's somebody I admire from history that's a conservative Ronald Reagan. Okay, I'll call it mister Reagan. My brother used to have this shirt with Ronald Reagan's picture in a silhouette like, you know, Che Guevara shirts. Yes. So he had a Ronald Reagan one. I always thought that was super cool. So I was like, okay, I'll do something that's kind of looks like that for my logo. And it was just like, boom, boom, boom. I had everything like instantly. And as soon as this is what blows my mind. This is what I do not understand for nanosecond. How on earth, how on earth had nobody registered the mister Reagan YouTube channel already? Well, so jealous. It seems it seems obvious. And as soon as I thought of it, I knew, okay, this is going to be successful. Like I knew immediately this is going to be successful. And originally, the big videos that I was making that kind of blew up were about Jordan Peterson, Jordan Peterson was blowing up at the time. And I was reacting to some of the stuff that I got to ask you about that because that I wasn't aware of. The first time I got to know about you or to start following you was AOC was the Gillette satire. So I want to hear about those original videos and also your take on Jordan Peterson because that's really important. He is mister Reagan USA on Twitter. It's the mister Reagan channel how he did that on YouTube. I don't know. It's also the alpha critic as well.

"And mister Reagan. So what was your career path, Chris? Well, I decided to go into filmmaking and primarily as a writer. I wanted to write, I wanted to create worlds. I wanted to kind of do what we do, but in a more subtle way. Instead of doing a show where I talk about politics, I would make films in which the ethics of the characters were traditional values and they had the stories were moral or at least they had some kind of a moral core that you could that you could see and respect or maybe something that was ideal that you could want to be like want to emulate. So I wanted to make these sort of maybe old fashioned value films and TV shows and stuff like that. And so I came to LA to do that. Actually, my father has a very successful business up in Oregon. And one day he called me and he's like, hey, Chris, you're going to take over the business or what's going on. I'm like, no dad, I'm going to Los Angeles. I'm going to be a writer. So what was the reaction of your family that lives in the real world successful business father? What happened when you said, I'm going to make movies? You know what's funny about that is I've talked my brother's interest in my brother Nick. I called my brother once, and I said, hey, what do you think about what I'm doing? This is back when I was like a struggling writer, trying to get anybody that I could to get to read my stuff, which nobody ever really did. But I'm trying to get trying to figure that out. And I'm like, what do you think about this career path? And he goes, well, Chris, I can't imagine you doing anything else. Like ever since we were children, you were always coming up with stories, telling me, you know, we'd see Santa Claus on the roof of my neighbor's house. And I tell my brother, I'd come up with this like vast story about Santa that night and why he's up on the house that night and stuff. And because I had to figure up there. So I'd just come up with stories about anything. And I tell my brother these stories every night because we shared a room. And he's like, yeah, and he had more of a better insight than anybody else, because he was the one that had to hear the stories all the time. And so he was like, no, Kris, this is, of course, you have to do this. This is like your whole, this is what your whole life has been leading up to. You're a storyteller. That's what you do. So for him, it was natural and normal. For my father, he was a more practical person, like you say. He thought, look, Hollywood is for the Hollywood people. It's not for normal people. You can't just go to Hollywood and break into Hollywood, like as a writer, you can't do that. And it turns out he was kind of right. It's almost impossible, really. I mean, for me, it was. A lot of people can do it. There's different ways to do it. For me, what ended up happening is I started the mister Reagan channel. And what's weird is that every once in a while in life, I failed at a lot of stuff. I was a very unlucky person, basically my whole ever since I graduated from high school. Nothing ever really works out for me. And when I came up with the idea for the mister Reagan, stay there, I want to put up people on ten to hooks for a moment because I want to hear what happened because I have a specific question about that moment when it will explode so stay there.

The hooper island lighthouse, it's about four miles off the shore of middle hooper island. It was built in 1902 and is on the national registry of historic places. It's just a really, really sort of interesting historic property, obviously there are challenges. It does need maintenance and repair. Well, Powell with the general services administration says bidding starts at $15,000, but at last word, last word, no bidders have come forward. They may be put off by a bunch of rules and restrictions. For example, you're not allowed to live in that lighthouse. 24 hour occupancy is prohibited. The only time that you can sort of like an overnight there is if you're doing maintenance, you're doing work on lighthouse to repair that kind of thing.

don't know what it is I mean this was a company that was sort of pitched as the online version of Costco right Yeah But it's been a tough run for it in the 6 months since it's gone public Meanwhile I mean talking of some of the inflationary woes perhaps those grocers such as box are facing Let's have a look at what the commodities are doing because once again we've actually seen oil spiking back to its highest since March thin training in the oil market overall but the fact that we're back at a $121 for our ready audience on the Brent contract we're looking at a 120 on WTI crude Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley both seeing that that price could be taken out yet further to about a $150 so clearly inflationary push sprung and center here when you're looking at oil That's some of the metals got a little bit of a bed We saw money come out of the likes of aluminium and copper as we debated growth going forward with the World Bank Tapping down on its outlook for global growth but overall it was a search for a haven like gold that happened in the commodity space The FX market Canadian dollar the loony gets some love up four tenths of a percent strengthening is oil goes higher The yen no love for the year yet further macro shorts coming in on that we're seeing it a weakest in 20 years versus the U.S. dollar Aussie dollar and indeed the Australian bond move extraordinary as we see once again more hawkish nature coming out of some of these global central banks the Australian Central Bank upending economists I mean I think only about two of them had a call for such an extent of a rate rise coming from Australia So the yields push high by 17 basis points on the two year we saw the Aussie dollar up 6 tenths of a percent so strengthening versus the U.S. dollar What else happened in yields It was sort of a moment back into full faith in credit Caroline When we think about some of the key tactical resistance levels on a ten year 3% three and a quarter certainly been floated around and remain you kind of saw that where we tried to get above 3% yesterday and some of the buying came in you had a three year bond auction that actually was okay sort of average but we're still looking at some of the highs that we haven't seen since about November of 2018 And you do wonder if that started to provide some relative attractiveness and yields that we haven't seen in quite some time Yeah and you talk about the positioning too I remember I was looking at a lot of that CFTC data that you get Obviously.

"So you can't hide so even if you weren't putting the thing in there you're still connected. The money goes either from you to do it. And the profits go to you. Therefore you're implicated by agency and again you guys set up this agency thing you created this pyramidal kohl's structure and now you gotta live by your own system While i agree with you that it seems as if we are at a very potent point in the time line. And they're making some major plays. That are gonna i would reveal their hands hopefully and a lot of ways and i think people are going to have to wake up to some of this stuff or they will just get obliterated by it really so It is definitely a important time is no doubt about it and like you said earlier. The group mind they can switch it very quickly but that principle it can switch very quickly to something positive to remind very activated right. Now because they've got it activated but you know that whole flock can easily switch yeah. I hope you're right and so as we're kind of winding down here. I have had a lot of requests to get you on. Some of these people have wanted me to ask you about the notice of liability creator on the website. The sort of plug and play generator for these forms. That is probably the main reason people would become members because they want their hand health through this complex process. It doesn't seem like it's quite out yet. But do you have an eta on win that notice. Viability generator would be available while the builder is just going through testing pretty much as we speak. It got completed about three weeks to a month ago. And now we're running people through as testers and then we're going to start to bring in some of the members to do further testing. Make sure it's gonna run smoothly not crash under its own weight and then we will basically start releasing it and then once we reach a you know where we feel like it can literally open the floodgates will just open it up and let fly right on. I like it yes. So we're at the testing phase. The builder is built. Now we have to test and make sure you know some of the glitches are taken out or whatever. But it's not an overhaul and you know just fixing some thing that's anomaly or whatever but we've done internal testing for quite some time but again the guys who built it. They know how it works. They don't make mistakes know so we need to have people that might make a mistake so we can find those make sense. The legal realm is one of specifics. So it's obviously important to get that stuff right. Yeah awesome well man. Desperate times do call for desperate measures. And i know a lot of people are feeling pretty powerless. So why not do this. Even if just to put the fear and the stress on the elites footsoldiers they need people lower on the pyramid to implement these agendas and this process can help make them second. Think what they're doing at a minimum and that's a beautiful thing right on. Well thanks for all the info. I do appreciate what you're doing and the causes that you are focused on smart meters vaccines five g. Geo engineering some of the most important issues of our time.

"President is no longer in your life but you still feel like the president is right nicer u. n. Is hunting you right now. Every single second and we all know that feeling. I'm sure we will go to raise your traumas and betrayals and loss of something or someone so we know how it feels like. And i was a yes. We understand that we need to go. But letting go is really the hottest one of the hazardous than i was in life right so i believe letting is same as forgiveness on you have to forgive in on the net. Go and forgiveness is not for. It's not about forgiving. The other present is not about setting the other person freebase about setting yourself. Free forgiveness is for yourself right so yeah we understand intellectually understand now might have to go read about. How do we really do that emotionally. How do we do that. Allow people the osteo holding onto things that happened ten years ago in their childhood fifty years or they are still holding onto like things happen in the past. So how do we do that like. Yeah if you could share your wisdom okay so for me to share it. I why we are doing that. I can start from that. And then i can talk about. Perhaps you know how to The steps of letting goal process. I can share so why we cannot let goal is that we are victims of it. We somehow inside of us be kohl's over that person because of him because of that situation because something outside of my control. Somebody did something to me. i'm. I'm already a bigham meaning when we feel pain who wouldn't wanna live. Look for somebody who hearts you right when we feel pain even this one right. Who hit me. He can't be like that right. So who that right. So it becomes somebody else's Doing something to you that makes us offer so automatically When we feel pain if we're not aware we become victim of that situation circumstances and incidents. Yes so naturally we become that maybe intellectually. Yeah okay. yeah yeah. I hear you. I know that yeah but when we are in a big tim a place then what happens we cannot come out of it because it's somebody else's that is causing you pain. It's somebody else. Outside of you is causing you pain. So then who is responsible for healing that.

"Makes it easier to really do. I guess if that makes. I have no idea if that makes any sense. It just makes it a bit more actionable one hundred percent and that that was actually where i sort of. I fell in love with the framework. And the work. That you when you would come back with all this customer insight. And i would i immediately be like okay. Cures the whole plan. Here's the whole strategy rate here. Now we need to turn it into something that teams can use and measure and build strategies around and feel like they can run really like meaningful experiments With an end you feel really good and confident in and measure it successfully over time and scale you make hiring decisions based on this type of thing you can. You know. Run obviously marketing experiments. You can you can Expansion opportunities tend to sort of fall into your lap. New type work as well And by the way. The most obvious that i almost anyone mention is onward and product activation in product engagement and really meaningfully measuring productivity action product. Engagement like that. That goes without saying I would say ninety percent of the time when we're working with companies we identify massive success gaps in customers ability to reach moments of value with not act and through this type of work and so being able to operationalize it in a way that teams can run with is sort of like wear. This thing takes off. How does one get this data from the customer always Actual phone calls to the customer will is the surveys. This is not like from an nps that you sending out conical too late to get this information. Real kohl's space to the customer to get this information. Have you say that when looking to get this. Stutter i did. The the the mix of the tactics used is going to be different based on the company at what their situation is If the situation is expansion into a new market than we're talking about employing audience research tactics customer discovery tactics which can be pretty different from. Hey we've identified this really high value existing type of customer now. What are some expansion opportunities. Another thing too is what the company themselves can actually do. For instance some companies might want to invest in running really in depth interviews and taking the time to really dig deep versus some other companies which is probably more likely the case for listeners of this podcast. Which is i need to get enough information. That i can run. I can develop a really strong hypothesis about what needs to be done. And in those cases surveys can go a really long way to developing a solid office Obviously interviews like nobody mean. I don't think anybody would argue. With the fact that interviews are the best case scenario in home is run at least a handful of those he can get away with quite a bit less than you might initially think when you when you see the word customer research right when it tends. It's kind of a scary charm. It has connected connotations of taking months and you know being really You know potentially high level but it doesn't have to be. You can be quite irritable about it and you can be quite supportive. Mvp i don't wanna say mvp but the process that we use actually only takes a couple of weeks can result in really powerful results like him very short amount of time results. Being i feel. I have a really solid hypothesis of what we need to do. Next and now it's grown. Invalidated what i would say is key. There is whichever method is being used..

What is going on and really. That was the context of how we got introduced to this particular. And so we we have great partners out that one of our partners as a fractional marketing leadership business. They were providing marketing services to this client and they brought us in because they recognize that. That was a need for more clarity in the sales side of things and so we starts any engagement with less just workout done. Looks like because if you don't know what the end looks like you're never gonna get there right so you know ultimately. What do they need to do. They need to work out how to hit. This causes goals without at missing them which they've been doing right so that was the first focus. How do we simplify enough to get to that number. And then we know we're going to continue right so our for us process keeps it really simple. It's review refine rollout and then repeat at some time whenever it is right in the future a fifth are pops up which is replace where we replace ourselves either by training your internal team by helping you put somebody in place to run it and so with an opportunity like to look at a whole sales organization we review.

"Same artists same programs slightly short provides to entirely though. How can folks support music at coleman since everything is at this point virtual so can they buy a season ticket by a tic to the virtual concerts. Yes so as you can imagine. Virtual concerts are financially not as successful as a live concert because people aren't able to obviously pay for tickets in the way that they do when they come to like so our ticket crisis which ordinarily a couple could come to a concert for hundred dollars fifty dollars a ticket or forty eight dollars a ticket and now of course the market will bear of much smaller entry fee for virtual concert so for twenty dollars a whole family can watch or a whole houseful can watch one of our concerts. So while it's wonderful in terms of we're able to provide programming at audiences can come for a very reasonable price is eighty percent ticket loss for us so we are obviously working hard to figure out how to survive on that way. I'll talk about that a little bit with you. But yes people can subscribe now and purchase the rest of the season. They can go online to music cold or buy tickets and get any one. Two three four or five of the upcoming monthly concerts are next month is january..

We've been planning it for three years. The goal of the project was multiple. We heard about these extraordinary violence. Hope they are a collection of now. Probably about ninety string instruments that were once played in concentration cat orchestras during world war. Two we learned quite a bit about the fact that there were orchestra and music was very much a part of what was going on in those camps. Not because the prisoners were so lucky and happy. But because the nazis who were imprisoning them wanted to have culture wanted to show the world that was music in the camps in that they were treating prisoners. Well these orchestras became the way that people who could play instruments. You're in these prison. Camps could survive. He's orchestras were in many many cancer. Fast forward to today. This collection of instruments which was once on the cast was restored refurbished collected from people all over the world. By a father and son violin maker An optional weinstein in israel and over the past twenty five years they have lovingly restored these incredible instruments and they have now been put back into playing condition sometimes better than they were originally and they've been during the world we heard about this in about two thousand fourteen.
