Let's get into him, all right, 18 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.719 So all right, the first question we have for you comes from Chris Stapleton. 19 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.040 He says, have you heard any non English voice performance voice performances of 20 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.840 your characters, and if so, do you have any particular favorites, as 21 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.200 in who nailed the energy of the character. Well, those are good questions. 22 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.040 Yes, I have heard a few, and one of my favorites was 23 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.799 something that I saw and it was from Pocohona's It wasn't me. I was 24 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.920 in the movie and I sang a couple of songs about or song, but 25 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.599 it was actually the Colors of the Wind, and it was done by I 26 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:41.760 mean, it was in Hindu, French, German, Italian, Spanish, 27 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.200 and it went straight all the way through I mean, all around the globe, 28 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.439 and it sounded beautiful. It sounded like one person. And it was 29 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.480 sent out as a promo and I wish I had I wish I was smart 30 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.439 enough at the time to say can I get a copy of that? Because 31 00:01:55.480 --> 00:02:00.000 it was really cool, but to bring it back home. Unfortunately, Yes, 32 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:05.760 I have heard a few characters, characters of mine. It brought over 33 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:12.039 to other languages and and um it was interesting, uh de Shmi, Dolly 34 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:17.199 wholly duck wing duck, you know, And so I was like l okay, 35 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.520 So that was dark wing. But um one of my favorites that I 36 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:29.759 had to do, and it was the Kingdom Hearts Ye game, and uh 37 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.360 I I was Pete mostly I was Pete, Maleficent's henchman in the you know, 38 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.919 big old Pete, the cat, you know, the guy, and 39 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:46.240 there was he This one guy had a whole big speech and it was it 40 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:52.439 took like five seconds and the translation was what so, I mean he's going? 41 00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:00.159 And then in the in English what And I said, can I add 42 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.400 a little something there? Because that's a lot of lip flap for except so, 43 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.199 but now you know how to say what in Japanese. You're welcome. 44 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:13.400 Thank you life lessons here with Jim Cummings. You had fun and you learned 45 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.639 a little something too. Yes, yes, right, all right. What's 46 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:21.520 the next question we got for him? Guy Colie Martin has chimed in with 47 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.800 asking my niece is a diehard Disney fan with an enormous Winnie the Police collection. 48 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.280 Jim, do you like to collect anything? And we're not necessarily talking 49 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.800 pop culture. If emory were just about anything shot classes. Yes I do 50 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.840 um, Yes, Yes, I collect large bars of gold. That's I 51 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.280 think those are fun, always handy to have a few of those. I 52 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.199 think everybody likes those. Is that what you sleep on top of at night? 53 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.639 Yes, exactly. And I have a pretty decent silver dollar collection. 54 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.560 But I could see where this is going. This is a profitable take no 55 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.520 um now, as they say, is your address so we all know where 56 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.960 to find them? Yes? Well, yes, or to sending though, 57 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:06.400 yeah, feel free to send me large bars of gold. Um. But 58 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.120 at one point, I think I collected drums, and I have drums Chris 59 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.719 will tell you they're like I have called good drums and drums from Africa and 60 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.879 anything that makes noise and a noise the neighbors. I'm really pleased with that 61 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:25.360 sort of thing, and uh, not comic books so much anymore. But 62 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.360 this is gonna be a long question. Here isn't a long answer? And 63 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.519 what else? What else? Well, I'm kind of surrounded by I Fortunately 64 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.920 I can't get up and walk around and show you because I have a collection 65 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:46.279 of Winnie to poos, mostly Winnie to poose and tiggers that people have given 66 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.160 me at conventions, and they're very very very sweetening, you know, and 67 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.920 I can't throw anything away apparently, So yeah, I've got a lot, 68 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.240 you know. I'll take a picture and show you next week because I don't 69 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.920 want to mess up Chris's set. But yes, I do speaking Winnie the 70 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.439 Pooh, as we are prone to do on this program. But I was 71 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.279 thinking about you the other day, Jim, because well you're never far from 72 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:14.480 my mind. But on the on the evening news bulletin, they had a 73 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.319 story about the cost of living going through the roof. Not even Winnie the 74 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:23.839 Pooh is safe. Turns out some guy had sorted into a collectible store somewhere 75 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:29.759 in uh Blue was in Sydney down here in Australia, saw a beautiful stuff 76 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.279 to Winnie the Pooh with something like two hundred bucks on the shelf, grabbed 77 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:36.040 it and ran out the door. He clearly wanted that Winnie and didn't want 78 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:41.480 to pay for it. Yes, yeah, well I was like Jim Cummings, 79 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.199 did Jim, I got I got it into mail the other day and 80 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.079 and here's fifty bucks is on it as well. What's gonna happen. Is 81 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.160 he going to be a Supernavor Expo in Sydney and Guy's going to rock up 82 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.079 with a twenty dollar winning to Pooja for you to sign. Yes, he 83 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.800 is for year the lookout for him. Oh that'll be nice. Well he's 84 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.959 going to get a free autograph. I canna tell you that right now. 85 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.000 Getting back to drums, what's your favorite drum that you've collected? We're from? 86 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:11.319 Um? Well, I have got Chris as the I don't want to 87 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.360 hit it because I'll knock something down. You're on a gym bay right now, 88 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:21.439 or or I've got Jim Bays from Africa and I've got I can't I'm 89 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.120 not gonna do it because I'll miss it anyway. You're sitting on a drum 90 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.519 okay, on a percussion instrument in my house? Yes, and uh I 91 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.680 used to decorate with them. So do I have drums? Is that? 92 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.639 What was that? What the question? What's what's your favorite drum and where's 93 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:41.199 it from? Yeah? Uh, well it would probably be the Jim Bay 94 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.519 from one Big So I got it in Africa okay, and uh and and 95 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.519 it came over it with me and it's a big one. I mean you 96 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.240 could do. I actually kind of use it for an end table, which 97 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.959 is a little bit of sacral the just thing there. But that's okay, 98 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.240 so but don't tell anyone. So what were you in Africa for work? 99 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.879 Or was that just a holiday? Oh? No, just holiday. Yeah, 100 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.879 I spend a month in Africa with my two older kids and yeah, 101 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:11.199 we had a good time. Will it be the most exciting place work has 102 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:16.279 taken you that work has taken me? Um?

They flew me over and uh you know, and did a hang 107 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.839 out there and we did really recorded all the movie. Uh this is a 108 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.680 really inside here, so okay, but we recorded the whole movie so that 109 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.759 you and McGregor and you know, the whole cast had something to react against 110 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:56.839 because I saw I saw, you know, the first um sort of dummy 111 00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.439 run throughs and and they had a little gray bear and the poor guy he 112 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.879 was sitting there talking to um. Well, I don't know pooh. You 113 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.639 know, I suppose we really should be getting back to the hundred would and 114 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.839 you you see this guy extra was sitting there with the gurgling you're right, 115 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.040 I'll fight what your guy. He's a Bryant arm in it, you know, 116 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.240 And it's like, okay, that's and you get just see you in 117 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.800 McGregor's face and he's going, guysh that's just doesn't sound no, no, 118 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:33.159 you know so, but it was funny. All right. Well, next 119 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.080 question he comes from Nellie Traylon, and Nellie says, are you much of 120 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.879 a golf at gym? And if not, what sports do you like to 121 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.159 play? If any? You know, I'm sorry to say. I golfed 122 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.200 twice, okay, and apparently I wasn't horrible, But then the person I 123 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.720 was with said, yeah, but you're in Colorado. You're twenty thousand feet 124 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.960 up and everybody's half decent here, and that went, all screw it. 125 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.120 Then I'm never gonna do this. So I go to those little miniature put 126 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.519 putt golf courses. Yeah, but now at this point I'm down to darts 127 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.039 and bowling. Darts is good. Bowling is one of the sports that I 128 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.000 enjoyed watching on TV the most. I love watching bowling. It when they 129 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.519 get that curve right, that curve right at the very end, you think 130 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.159 it's going to gut and then yeah, can you manage that? Can you 131 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.679 make that happen and spin? I like watching it? Yeah, but no, 132 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.360 Yes, what's a bad bowler? What's your highest score in bowling? 133 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.080 I think it's like two hundred something, not much. Yeah, I think 134 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.240 I've cracked one hundred. Yeah on the arcade at the bowling side. Yes, 135 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.759 yeah, already got what's the next question? And that's only when that 136 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.759 was only when my kids were really little and we had up the runners on 137 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.200 the side a gutter ball. Yeh, so I was great, Daddy was 138 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.559 good. Have you ever taken Christy have a bowl with gym before? No? 139 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.080 I haven't, haven't. We'll fix that. Yeah, you have to 140 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.279 get ball. I want to say who wins out of Chris Chris versus gym 141 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.840 and to look forward to Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we gotta go 142 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.480 sometime. They're getting rid of a lot of bowling alleys these days. Are 143 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.480 they doing this same thing in Australia? No, No, they're adding bowling 144 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.360 lanes. So we're getting a new bowling lane about a better klomet from my 145 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.840 house and about two months. Yeah, I feel like since COVID out here, 146 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.080 they've really been shutting down. It was likely the iest thing you could 147 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.519 do during COVID. It was like, Oh, put your hands on a 148 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.039 ball and everybody else sneeze ball and just go for it fun. Don't worry 149 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.840 about it touching some of those balls. It's, you know, shortcut to 150 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:31.519 disease. I blame Joe Biden. Alight. Anyway, we have our next 151 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.080 question. Um, this is from Jeff P that's the initial P, not 152 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.279 the not the word p M. Jeff is asking what element of voice acting 153 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.519 scared you the most? Jim, when you first broke into the business scared 154 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:50.279 me? What element of voice acting intimidated you? Like? What was the 155 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.159 more? What was the part that intimidated you the most? Maybe getting a 156 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.200 sore throat? I mean nothing, that's a terrible answer, but nothing intimidated 157 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.639 me. I was too stupid to know that I had no business being there, 158 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:05.039 so I just fell right into it. Were you very well? Were 159 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.360 you really confident when you first started doing it? Were you're just like, 160 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.799 I can do this, I'm going to make this happen. There was a 161 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.840 career waiting. Yeah, yeah, I was. I mean that sounds slightly 162 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.000 arrogant, but I really knew. I mean I knew. I think I 163 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.080 mentioned this before, but I knew I was going to do it when I 164 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.159 was five. Yeah. Why why did it take you so long to start 165 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.240 voice acting? Though? If you knew you from five, you want to 166 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.440 be a voice actor? What was what? I was?

All right, 179 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.399 well, James Morton, he wants to know what was your first car that 180 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.440 you ever owned and what are you driving nowadays? Oh gosh, it was 181 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:43.200 Man seventy three, maybe Dodge Valiant, I think. But one of the 182 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.919 coolest ones I've ever owned was a mail truck. Wow, when I was 183 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.600 eighteen or an eighteen, and it was the ultimate hippie thing. It was 184 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.960 a mail truck that they delivered mail in. It was completely looked just off 185 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.159 on and they thought it looked great because it was a big red stripe and 186 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.000 a big white stripe and a big blue stripe. And you opened up the 187 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.559 mail truck from behind and there was a little horrible vinyl bar in there that 188 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.559 we had, and terrible shag carpeting on the floor, on the walls, 189 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.480 on the ceiling. It was great. It sounds like it sounds like a 190 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:22.519 love machine, just absolutely hideous. And it was that. And we would 191 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.799 take it and park it down by where all the hippies were and sit there 192 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:30.000 and be cool. So that was that was one of my coolest cars ever. 193 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.679 So were you Were you a hippie when you're younger? Probably sure? 194 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.360 Yeah? Yeah? Nice? Pretty long here not quite just or now, 195 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.320 but I was in that neck of the woods. His hair's pretty rocking. 196 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.399 Yes, I've got a picture around here somewhere I could probably grab for you. 197 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.399 Oh that's pretty fresh. That's something for the social media for sure. 198 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:54.120 Isn't there right behind you off your left shoulder? Oh wait a minute, 199 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.399 Oh this isn't bad. Yeah, yeah, this isn't the one I was 200 00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:03.320 thinking of Jim's fan of photo of himself right. Oh my gosh, that's 201 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.360 a good eye. Yeah, okay, prepared to be frightened and see if 202 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.159 you can name everybody in this picture. Oh, I'll be trying to do 203 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.080 it through the all right, here we go, tilt it up. Um, 204 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.799 well I can say that's that's you on the left. Uh, no, 205 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:18.559 idea, I can't tell from here, Know who is it? Who's 206 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.679 in the middle? Then who's on the right? Tom Cruise, No, 207 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.679 Steven Spielberg. I looked at the hat and I was like, well, 208 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.000 it's a hat, It's that's not surely not Spielberg that is that actually, 209 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.440 Steven Spielberg, what's that for? Well, he owed me money, of 210 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.720 course, No, no, that's not true. Uh no, this was 211 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.600 for animaniacs, oh wow. And and it was his show and he really 212 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.759 got a kick out of kind of kick out of myself. And I think 213 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:54.639 it was Triss McNeil that we um we played Hampton the pigs parents, and 214 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.279 we did the mes an old Jewish fellow there listen Hampton with the dead the 215 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.320 duck and the we couldn't this spit. And he thought it was hysterical because 216 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.639 it was like an old vaudeville like Jackie Leonard or one of those you know 217 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.960 guys. He had a good he had a good uh sense of humor. 218 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.600 Do you have a geek count surrounded by people like this or meeting people like 219 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.159 that?

Yes, in the movie Balto Kevin Bacon, 243 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.200 and you know, it was getting so close because they had literally gone 244 00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.639 through the whole movie. They were done except for this one character. And 245 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:07.559 so Steven Spielberg came and directed me like all day long. Oh yeah, 246 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.920 yeah, just he myself and my agent at the time, because he wanted 247 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.920 to meet Steven Spielberg, Jeff Danis and the engineer and that was got to 248 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.720 be some stories there.

Yeah, but or not. Is he as 265 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.240 approachable as nice as he seems because he just seems like such a lovely person. 266 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.559 Yeah yeah, I thought so. Yeah, I mean he was really 267 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.920 really a nice guy. Yeah, and he kind of just would cajole you 268 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.640 into the line. He didn't give you a line read, he didn't do 269 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.720 anything like that that, you know, he just he just guided me through 270 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.799 and he just he said he just had to do it because he was tired 271 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:53.400 of people coming in here and you know, ruining his movies and he and 272 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:59.799 he was making he was making Schindler's List in Balto simultaneously. I mean, 273 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.400 okay, yeah, let's just juggle these bowling balls that are on fire. 274 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.759 Well that that is a day that we are going to come back to in 275 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.559 a future episode of Shore, because there's plenty more questions Steven spiel By questions 276 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.880 that I've got for you. No, boy, all right, If I 277 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:17.519 don't know the answer, I'll make something up there. All right, was 278 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:22.319 the next question. Right. Next question comes from Molly Lee, who wonders 279 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.680 if it's easy to forget how to do a voice that you maybe haven't performed 280 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.440 in a long time, or once you create it isn't just locked into the 281 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:37.599 memory bank and easy to access. I'm probably good up to about nine of 282 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.440 them. Yeah, yeah, it's just I mean, if somebody says, 283 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.400 come on, do do that grimy Man number two that you did when he 284 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.480 was like mistaken for the milkman but he was the mailman, remember that one? 285 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:53.599 And no, I don't know you know that one? So you know, 286 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:57.680 the little little characters like that. But for the most part, no, 287 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:03.160 I do remember them. I don't know. Once they're in there, 288 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.640 there's sort of an imprint, you know. If you've forgotten one and someone 289 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:07.519 said, oh, no, it's this guy that showed you something, would 290 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.480 you be immediately be able to go, oh, yeah, I remember that 291 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.000 one and it'll return. Or once you've forgotten the character, it is a 292 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.640 hard to remember it. No, No, I mean once I get a 293 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:22.759 tip or or a lot of times they'll they'll play something for you while you 294 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.759 haven't done this one in this series blah blah blah. So they'll they'll give 295 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:29.519 you a little playback of what you did back then, and you're going, 296 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.559 oh, okay, yeah, okay, So he was from Alabama or you 297 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:36.279 know whatever. Which are the ones that catch you off God the most when 298 00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.039 you just at least expect them to ask you this one? Well, there 299 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:45.759 was one and it was for animaniacs and they needed an Irish guy. I'd 300 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:49.279 forget the plot, but but they they all had crazy plots anyway, But 301 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:56.799 there was an irishman and he had to be extremely Irish and this and that, 302 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.480 but you weren't. They wanted me to do it in a complete Irish 303 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:07.200 accent, but not use any actual words, no words at all, So 304 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:15.079 I tell us as flamm oh you know. And it was all of this, 305 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.880 and he was scared and he had seen a ghost and the animaniacs were 306 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:23.000 over in Dublin, uh, doing some ghost hunting or something, and this 307 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.960 guy was just stricken. He was just but he wasn't speechless, but he 308 00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:32.640 still couldn't understand him. And then years and years later there was a movie 309 00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:38.599 called Snatch, and Brad Pitt kind of did that too. He too could 310 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:45.240 flug MCTA taken it was in Dublin and then it'd always be in a you 311 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.319 know today Apricorn, you know, and that would be like the only thing 312 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.039 that you could understand. And then he said, he said, past the 313 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.279 salt, I was thinking maybe the water has just got lazy that day. 314 00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.880 No like doing Irish accent, but were talked about the writing lines for he 315 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.400 just just makes sounds, It'll be fine. Yeah, yeah, so I 316 00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:07.839 did. I'm your guy. This next one is from Phil Stewart. He 317 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.559 says, which Disney afternoon series do you think you've seen the most episodes of? 318 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.839 Okay? Um, dark Wing? Yeah, dark Wing Duck Yeah, 319 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:19.200 I would think. Yeah, did you ever watch the show when it was 320 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:22.440 on or was it just just people would show you videos or whatever? Did 321 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.079 you ever actually watch the shows that you were a part of if it was 322 00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.079 on TV, you have to sit down and watch them, or once they 323 00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.319 have recorded, it's just that that's it, that's done. No, I 324 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.240 am we actually just watched one or two today. But um, now I 325 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.200 I did you know I liked it? Because you know, I'm curious, 326 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:47.000 does it work? Did that joke work? Did did this plot work? 327 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:51.839 Different things like that, But I didn't wasn't religious about it, And besides, 328 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.039 I couldn't get home in time to watch them. They were already you 329 00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.200 know, I was making other ones. I was. I was interested just 330 00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:00.359 to wonder whether, when the episodes were torn from the animation studios, whether 331 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.599 you actually would watch them to sort of study them, to see whether you 332 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.240 would want to tweak anything here or there. But no, yeah, now, 333 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.079 really, you know, we uh you know, we did a lot 334 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:14.400 of dr if if we needed to, so you know, that's when you're 335 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.039 doing things to screen and you know, the lip flaps off or something, 336 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.279 so you fix it. But but no, I mean I really liked a 337 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.279 lot of them. You know, Chris and I were just watching a couple 338 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:29.720 of Markers and there's some funny stuff in there. Yes, and great you 339 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:33.480 forget, Yeah, definitely do. Our next question is from Grace Parker, 340 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:36.920 who may be angling for a dinner invitation here because she wants to know some 341 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.240 of your favorite restaurants to dine at. Uhha, well, let's see, 342 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:45.319 I don't know what do you think? Chris? Who who do we want 343 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.880 sponsoring the show. Let's think about it. Yeah, that's right, that's 344 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:56.519 right. Then definitely Mastros yeahs, yes, yes and more. Yes. 345 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.440 Who pays when when Chris and Jim Grafford dinner? Who's pay in the bill? 346 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.880 Oh? He does every time? Every good sign every day every time. 347 00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:07.559 Uh, there's a bit of dime and dash going on. I'm sure 348 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.559 or his mom maybe his mom does good either way. But yeah, but 349 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.079 what what are your favorite places when you're thinking about we're going out for dinner? 350 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.079 What comes to Mineland? What are your favorite locals? Uh? Well, 351 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.960 if it doesn't have to be local, then let's go to New Orleans 352 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.599 and we'll go to one of Emerald's places. Yea or Guy Fieri has a 353 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:33.480 nice uh kiosk at the airport. It's you can get sandwiches. Um but 354 00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:34.920 no, I uh, I don't know. I kind of like a tale 355 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:40.880 you food. So there's a place Tuscany. It's pretty good locally, but 356 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.200 yeah, Mastro's definitely.

And 361 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.400 they they know what they're doing there. And uh, like I said, 362 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:06.319 Emerald's got a cup got I think he's got two or three places now, 363 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:10.480 And what do I sell there? Um, well, it's kind of like 364 00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:15.759 New Orleans fusion with whatever Emerald comes up with. And and then there's the 365 00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:21.160 one place. Uh, I can't remember the name, but it's just pure 366 00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:25.839 New Orleans food, you know. And red beans and rice is an amazing 367 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.839 delicacy to me. You've got a good recip before it now apparently, and 368 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.720 sous, yes, I do, yes, I do. Didn't Emerald try 369 00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:34.400 to break into tea?

Yeah, like apart from the cooking show, he 372 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.720 had like a yeah, I think they actually had he had his own self 373 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:51.079 titled sitcom that lost him maybe two episodes. Really, Oh, said Jim, 374 00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:52.559 you said you'd like to eat weird food. What's the weirdest food you've 375 00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:57.680 ever eaten? Oh? Weird food?

They're like small ants. Also big bat ones. 380 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.519 Yea, yeah, those probably those big African ants and you don't want 381 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.359 them to bite you. I've had that, but um, I've had rattlesnake. 382 00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:23.960 Rattlesnakes good, yeah, yeah, I believe it or not. Yeah, 383 00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:27.920 and uh never had new tria. And if you don't know what that 384 00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:32.759 is? Good? Okay, but people eat it and I'm not one of 385 00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.519 those people that eat it. What about gators?

Really like tune. Yeah, it's that rattlesnakes, 401 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:49.680 that common of a food. They put it in the can. Yeah, 402 00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.440 it's uh, you know, I'm trying to think, Yeah it was 403 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.480 rattlesnake. Yeah, I think, I think. And you can only get 404 00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:02.359 it at like roadside joints in texts in Louisiana. It's not you're not gonna 405 00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:06.160 go to your local market. Yeah, a pout of the rattlesnake, please, 406 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:10.079 Oh you're out of copper head. Copper Head's fine, Yeah, give 407 00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:15.279 me the copper head. You know, these are not things that pop up 408 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.440 on your grocery list with gaidas so it's only the tail that you ate, 409 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:19.680 or can you eat any part of the gale? Well you can, but 410 00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.119 it will kill you. No, I have no idea. I had a 411 00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:27.640 crocodile. I I've eaten a crocodile eye before. Oh wow, I was 412 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.799 wondering about that. So you can eat at least the eye and the tail. 413 00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:36.279 So was this on a bit heads? Their tails? So what's the 414 00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.359 what is it in a soup? How do you eat the eyes? It 415 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.720 fried so it's hot. It wasn't a soup. Actually, yeah, it 416 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.960 was like an eye in the middle of a soup. I cannot remember the 417 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:47.720 flavor. I was like maybe eleven or twelve years old and we were on 418 00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:51.759 vacation, and yeah, I remember. It was so such a weird thing 419 00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:53.519 because I like eating weird things too, Like if somebody else is gonna eat 420 00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:56.839 it, I'll I'll at least try it, you know, Oh yeah, 421 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:02.240 you gotta try it. That was the Raiders of the Last Start. Remember 422 00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:04.000 when he was in India. I was thinking of, um, what wasn't 423 00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.680 it a temple of doom? And they were eating the yeah, yeah, 424 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.759 yeah up and started looking at you merely what I was thinking. I'm like, 425 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.319 oh, I was a kid, I saw a Temple of Doom and 426 00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.480 I was like, I was terrified now the monkey brains and eyeing the soup, 427 00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:21.000 and so you were living temple of doom. Woh wait, Okay, 428 00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:25.319 yeah, that's right. Let's get to another question. Let's get to another 429 00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:27.920 one, all right, So this one's from Trish Colling. Do you remember 430 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.000 feeling like you were going through different eras of animation throughout your career, Like 431 00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.279 new and different ideas or styles were becoming popular as your career went on to 432 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.480 an extent, Yeah, I mean all the Disney cartoons were all, you 433 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.160 know, of a kind of a type, you know, the animation and 434 00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.720 everything, the techniques and everything, and they were they were the best. 435 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:55.039 But then there were other odd ones like um Choks I did. It was 436 00:29:55.079 --> 00:30:00.759 a short lived I think we did like twelve episodes at thirteen and it was 437 00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.359 a very very different thing and uh, you know, what can I say? 438 00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:10.720 And then the last one would probably be okay ko And it was really 439 00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:15.400 it was one of those odd, little quirky shows over there at Nickelodeon, 440 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.799 and it was almost, I don't want to say primitive, but they were 441 00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:25.559 going for a very distinct look and you know it's right, you know what 442 00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:30.119 wasn't me? But they were almost so cartoony that they were making fun of 443 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:36.319 cartoons or and it was an Odjo didn't make it. So yeah, I 444 00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:38.359 don't even. I don't think I've ever gotten one residual out of that shows. 445 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.440 So I hope it's playing somewhere. How many how many shows or how 446 00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:47.200 many pilots did you make that didn't get picked up? Oh boy, I 447 00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:48.880 don't know. It had to be a couple. Yeah, I don't know 448 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.640 if they didn't get picked up. I don't remember them with there any that 449 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.119 you were confident about and you were surprised when they didn't get picked up? 450 00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:57.279 Or can you tell usually this isn't really gonna know. Yeah, you could 451 00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.920 tell, Yeah, you could tell, you could tell. I remember reading 452 00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:07.880 for Hondo Onnaka, one of my favorites, you know, from Star Star 453 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:11.839 Wars, Clone Wars and Rebels and all that, you know, Yeah, 454 00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:15.000 And I remember thinking, you know, because you read along and you see 455 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:17.920 all the characters, and I go, well, this is gonna be good. 456 00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:21.960 And I read for I think Boba, Fette and Hondo, and I 457 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.160 really wanted Hondo because I could see you know, he had, he had 458 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:29.799 a lot of potential and everybody still loves him. And and yeah, and 459 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:33.440 he went to Disney World, Disneyland. He's got a probably the biggest ride 460 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.240 there, the coolest ride. He's the face of galaxies there. Yeah, 461 00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:38.960 what was your Biba fete? Do you remember? Can you give us no? 462 00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:41.759 I can't remember. It's a long time ago, you know, but 463 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:47.319 it wasn't obviously he didn't make it. Yeah, you know, but I'm 464 00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.079 happy with Hondo. I got the better ended get him up to the changing 465 00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.440 style of animation. What were your thoughts when you first started seeing computer generated 466 00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:59.640 animated shows? The transition there? Which do you have one in your for 467 00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:01.359 exact when Toy Story came out, you had the film, so basically you 468 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:06.039 went from like the line came to Toy Stories like it? Right? What 469 00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:07.599 was it? What were your thoughts when you first saw this new Well, 470 00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:12.440 okay, so this is the feature of animated films. Yeah, you know, 471 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.599 I I liked it. It was good, it was colorful, it 472 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:19.759 looked it was eye catching. But I'm I'm an old school guy. I 473 00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:24.480 just love I just love animation, you know, and I love watching them 474 00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:28.240 do it. I love I mean just seeing people. I mean, it's 475 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:30.640 almost like magic to me. You see these guys and they're doing this. 476 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:34.359 They've got their several pages here and one in each finger, and they're flipping 477 00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:36.640 it up and and they go like that, and all of a sudden, 478 00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:39.599 the squirrel jumps off the tree and runs. And there's a there's a magic 479 00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:43.599 in that for me. Yeah, you know, And I like I like 480 00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:45.720 the way it looks. I like the way it feels, you know, 481 00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:50.720 the the uh, the expression on their faces, true throughout the whole, 482 00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:54.920 the whole thing. And I just I'm a big fan. I think Princess 483 00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:59.279 and the Frog was the last. It was the old. Yeah. I 484 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.279 guess it's kind like streaming a song as opposed to listening to it on vinyl, 485 00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:05.519 isn't it and holding the song in your hand. Yeah, yep, 486 00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:09.160 absolutely. It Actually saw a really interesting video on social media last week. 487 00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:13.039 It was I never realized they did this because they did it so seamlessly. 488 00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:16.720 But Disney would rehash the same animation for various movies, but just tweak so 489 00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:21.359 that the character design was there, like the human shape that add hair or 490 00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:24.160 added dress or whatever, and it's the exact same piece of paper they're clearly 491 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:27.960 use, but just change the background or whatever. So they were so clever 492 00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:31.000 and how they would would produce these movies so seamlessly that you wouldn't realize they 493 00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:36.680 would just rehashing the same shots, just adding new layers to it. Yeah, 494 00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:38.640 and sometimes they do that. I know they've done it with backgrounds like 495 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:43.200 if you're in a forest, Yeah, you're in a forest, you know, 496 00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:45.079 so you know, taking from rubbing it over to you know, the 497 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.839 hundred would I think kind of Barbara were classic for that, right where you 498 00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.200 just sort of walking along it's just the same background on repeat. Oh yeah, 499 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.799 well that there were the Kings of Limited Animation. Yeah, that's why 500 00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:00.799 Yogi Bear, the Jetsons, Fred Flintstone, they had callers on so that 501 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:05.960 they're standing there and you know, they've got that stupid stance and the only 502 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:07.480 thing that's moving, Hey Bonny, Hey, you know, and he's going 503 00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:10.280 like this, and he's going like that, and two little flaps are going 504 00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:15.239 with his mouth, and you are so busy listening to him and looking at 505 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:19.360 his head you don't realize he's frozen, you know. And then then he 506 00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:23.440 moves his leg. Then they make a sound and he's off ye, and 507 00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:28.880 it's limited. It's a limited animation style. That's the animated version of using 508 00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:32.000 like a backdrop or a studio backlot and just sort of giving it a fresh 509 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:36.840 cut of paint or something like that.

It's like, whoa a brave new world. Oh 538 00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:23.800 yeah. The first time I went to England, I remember, and I 539 00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:28.360 went to see The Man who Went Up a Hill and came down a Mountain 540 00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:34.239 kind of a boring movie. Um and uh and I and I was going 541 00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.239 by and I looked and I went, wait a minute, isn't that a 542 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:40.599 Guinness or whatever? You know? And and they said yes. And I 543 00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:44.800 said, ken, I buy one, end, watch it and take it 544 00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:46.719 in the movie. Well what I wrote, you all mate, no problem, 545 00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:51.360 you know. And I said, I really like London, you know. 546 00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:54.639 And so there you go. You've been to the movies with Jim Chris. 547 00:36:55.159 --> 00:37:00.119 Yeah, a few times. It's Jim Atoka during the movie. No, 548 00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:02.119 no, no, no, that's that's taboo. You can't be a 549 00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:07.000 talker. We're not. Yeah, that's quiet out here unless it's like the 550 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:12.079 premiere of a movie like Opening Night. People get a little more talkative in 551 00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:15.639 my experience out here, but other than that, it's all alrighty. Well. 552 00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:17.559 This next one he comes from Jacob Simpson. He says, which character 553 00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:22.119 is the most physically straining to perform? And which do you find the easiest 554 00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:27.320 to perform? No, boy, Well, Taz for sure the most difficult. 555 00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:30.679 You know, he's the most Yeah. We whenever we do tests Mania, 556 00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.480 I always wanted to do it on Friday afternoons to be the last one 557 00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:37.320 of the last one of the week. And then I did a movie that 558 00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:43.440 was really incredibly terrible, but it came out right after the movie Christine by 559 00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:47.239 Stephen King, and it was called The Mangler. Um I was, and 560 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:53.760 I was, you know that, Y I'm sorry, Well you'll check and 561 00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:58.440 you know this will be a good one for you. Um. Yeah. 562 00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:00.639 I did the movie and they said, and it was. I swear. 563 00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:07.360 It was a like a gigantic ironing board or a pressing machine that you could, 564 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.440 you know, you could iron a pup tent or a circus tent in 565 00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:16.960 this big sh and it would pull people in and press them steam cleaned them 566 00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:21.400 to death and then they were gone. They weren't. There wasn't even like 567 00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:25.480 a big plotch of oh where did Dorothy go? I don't know? And 568 00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:31.719 the Mangler sitting over there being a big giant printing press, laundromat thing and 569 00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:37.840 and and so, and it was told Hooper who made Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 570 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:43.159 Stephen King wrote it and I got this job, and uh and and I 571 00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:45.880 auditioned and I thought, well, they'll never do it, because to me, 572 00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:52.800 it seemed like this should be multi layered. So I did one and 573 00:38:52.920 --> 00:39:00.400 then I did you know? And then I don't remember the third one, 574 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.599 but you put them all together and it sounds and it was really kind of 575 00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:10.480 scary. But in the end it's a freaking ironing board gone mad and uh 576 00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:15.679 and I just, you know, I was like, okay, well unplug 577 00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:22.119 it, I plug it. You win, we won. Monster's Gone. 578 00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:25.840 And it was just because you see the movie and you're going, oh, 579 00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:30.079 this is terrible, this is terrible, and God bless all the people on 580 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:32.000 camera. So I said, all right it came out, no, fine, 581 00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:34.559 all right, I guess I'll go see it. I didn't go to 582 00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:37.119 the premiere, but I said, let me go, and I went over 583 00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:40.239 and I saw it in Ceme Valley. It's a little town close by. 584 00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:45.280 It was on a Saturday afternoon. Went to Mattinee and up sitting there and 585 00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:46.760 listen watching it, and it was every bit as bad as I thought it 586 00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:53.400 would be. And in the end it said voice of the mangler, Tim 587 00:39:53.800 --> 00:40:02.840 Cummings, and yes, yes, howe by that Tim, huh is he's 588 00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:08.280 the biz arm. Yeah you go, Tim, because it couldn't have been 589 00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:13.159 me. My name's James. Thank you very much. Good night, everybody. 590 00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:15.159 Yeah, I know you've been. I know you've been hanging on the 591 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:17.360 film. But Guy's eyes lit up the minute you mentioned that title, because 592 00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:20.880 you know, he's he's bought it. So Guy clearly likes the movie. 593 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.440 He's a couple of buddies of mine did an audio commentary for it, and 594 00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:30.440 they're like film academic types, and one of them is, you know, 595 00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:32.760 spouting this theory bad. You know, this is a real satire of later 596 00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:36.599 or a capitalism and all this, and the Mangler represents this and this I 597 00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:43.440 watch it going making this gesture. Yeah, I'm not sure about that, 598 00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:47.920 guys. But yeah, it's a terrible movie. But it's also a really 599 00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:52.320 enjoyable movie, if you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 600 00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:55.159 it's just yeah, you can enjoy it because it's terrible. It's one 601 00:40:55.199 --> 00:41:00.719 of those uh god, what those guys that used to sit around and comment 602 00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:04.400 on the movies. Mystery Science Theater three thousand, Yeah, I mean, 603 00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:07.719 he's he's right in there. Are you a horror fan at old jim h? 604 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:12.199 Yeah? Yeah. I like the classics, I really do like those, 605 00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:15.199 and I mean right up to Rosemary's Baby. That one got at me 606 00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:22.400 and what was it, David Bowie, The Hunger Susan Surrander or Catherine Deneuve. 607 00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.639 It feels like this late seventies through to like maybe early nineties was a 608 00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:30.679 real peak era for true horror films, wasn't it. Yeah? Just iways 609 00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:34.679 keep going to the video store and the horror section just looked so incredible. 610 00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:37.920 It was just so many horror movies, and I tend to make horror movies 611 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.760 as much anymore. Yeah, I don't think so. The last one I 612 00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:46.079 really kind of like Benicio del Toro, and I think it was a wolf 613 00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:51.039 turned into a wolf man. Yeah, it was kind of cool. If 614 00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:53.039 someone said to you now to be in a horror film, would you be 615 00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:57.159 all about it? Sure? I just I just feel like horror seemed so 616 00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:00.280 off tight for Jim Cummings. We need the pooh, But I'd love to 617 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:04.079 see you just voicing this horrible creature or whatever in a in a horror fling. 618 00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:07.280 I'd do it in It's hard peat, Yeah, I'd be.
