Like I forget now it's been a while. 21 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,479 I think we just had the one. We might have had a live album 22 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,240 too, but we definitely just had the one, the one, our first 23 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,840 studio album.

You're not the same time zone, right, so you're yeah, 31 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,720 So I'm really I'm really driving Justin crazy because I'm a I'm a morning 32 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000 person and he's not. And I've had two mimosas and he is barely waking 33 00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:33,680 up. So he's he's cut the coffee and I'm still like irritated. He's 34 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:41,199 ready to he's ready to kill me, right right. I'm glad you guys 35 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,839 are all able to able to join us today. So how now are these 36 00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:47,079 songs, these tracks that you sent us here, these already out and available. 37 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,920 One of them is the Clockwork Man that you just played is out and 38 00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:57,680 has been out and and that song has kind of a funny story. We 39 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,800 we we put that together. I guess at the very end of twenty twenty 40 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:06,959 two. I've got some friends that do YouTube content on a channel of theirs, 41 00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:11,920 and they had written that song the Clockwork Man as a sea shanty for 42 00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:16,399 like a an episode that they do of their of their they do Star Wars 43 00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:19,120 parodies. It's I could go down this whole rabbit hole, but I won't 44 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,439 because I want to. I want to make sure we talk about us. 45 00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:26,759 But yes, yes, I I collaborate with them on a lot of stuff. 46 00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:30,720 I sang on this sea shanty about called the Clockwork Man, and when 47 00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:32,920 they sent me the lyrics, I looked at him and I was just like, 48 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,480 man, this reads and in my head sounds just like an Iron Maiden 49 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,240 song. And so before I even did my vocals for the pirate version, 50 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,240 this shanty version, I sent the guys back basically the fully baked version of 51 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,759 Clockwork man with me doing all the midi drums and everything. Wow. And 52 00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:56,800 it turned out so good that they used it in the episode Oh Wows that 53 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,839 as the credits music. And then Eric kind of was like, well, 54 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,000 let's just do it as a whole band thing, and we started playing it 55 00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,680 live and people really liked it, so we recorded it properly and got the 56 00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:11,959 live drums and everything, and so that the version you just heard is the 57 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,439 Clockwork is the version that we released of our version of the Clockwork Band. 58 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,199 So it's a little bit of a cover, but all that music is original 59 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,399 to us, and it doesn't the real the real version doesn't sound anything like 60 00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:29,480 that. Really. Yeah, literally, it's a it's it's four part alcapella. 61 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:31,639 It's ridiculous. Just send this to me. I need to hear this. 62 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,079 Yeah, yeah, I'll send it to you. What what's what's their 63 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,680 YouTube channel we can give them? Are called the r notts A you r 64 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,360 a l n a u t S. They've been around for years. They 65 00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:48,279 do a lot of really funny parody stuff and sound editing things. They're great 66 00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:51,240 and I love those guys. I'm good friends with them, and they they 67 00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:56,560 brought me in on a lot of their stuff and really kind of expanded our 68 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,240 visibility. But I love them and so anytime I get to work with them 69 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,879 is a real treat. Yeah, yeah, very cool. By the way, 70 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,319 what does that mean? What is a clockwork man? What does that 71 00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:11,600 mean? Yeah? So basically in their version, what they do is they 72 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:15,399 take existing media, like a Star Wars movie, and they strip everything away 73 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,160 but the video, and then they redo all the audio. So they redo 74 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,519 the dialogue and the music and the sound effects and they edit it up into 75 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:29,160 something entirely different. And in their version of the Star Wars saga, yeah, 76 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:38,079 C three Po is this kind of deranged, bloodthirsty, murderous monster. 77 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,560 And because they started with the first with phantom menace where he doesn't have an 78 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:50,439 outer covering, he's obsessed with getting skin and being human. And yeah, 79 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,839 I will send you some stuff. It really is a rabbit hole that you 80 00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:58,879 have to go down. But if anybody is listening that thinks that this sounds 81 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000 at all remotely funny, it is. It's worth your time. I'll send 82 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,399 you some stuff. But yeah, CEE three p O in their version of 83 00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:09,800 Star Wars is the clock. He is a mythical monster that people sing songs 84 00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:15,319 about. The song is kind of like an urban legend song. Yeah, 85 00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:20,560 kind of like Bloody Mary. Yeah, you be careful, don't don't talk 86 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:26,199 about the clockwork Man because he'll come and take your skin. Yeah. Yeah, 87 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,160 it's great, that's great. Yeah, I've gotta I've gotta see that. 88 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,440 Yeah. So anyway, that's the clockwork Man. That's awesome. And 89 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,240 what is uh, we're gonna we're gonna play it later. But Hunt of 90 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,519 the cyber Tooth what what? What? What is that? What does that 91 00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,399 mean? What is that about? I love I love the song by the 92 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,320 way, it's very you can you can sing along to it. It's it's 93 00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:50,399 so it's so good. But what is what is the meaning behind that? 94 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,080 So that was my idea. So, you know, when we're you know, 95 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,720 we have our first album, Call of Voyager is essentially a barbarian quest 96 00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:03,240 type song, and we said, let's let's go the opposite direction and like 97 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:11,039 do a bunch of dystopian and futuristic like eighties theme songs. And I literally 98 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,279 came up with this idea of a future kind of like the Purge, but 99 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,559 everybody goes into their house at night and they hide because the government has built 100 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:31,279 a cybernetic tigers, criminals at night, and if you're out on the streets 101 00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:37,120 and you have any kind of like criminal history, he's basically gonna kill you. 102 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,840 Yeah. Okay, Okay, so now we I think we talked about 103 00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:46,360 this so when we talked the last time. You know, because of the 104 00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:48,840 way Eric and I write, we have so much material kind of just in 105 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,240 the hopper waiting. I think this song was actually written the last time we 106 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,519 were on the radio with you guys. Oh. But Eric explained it to 107 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,039 me just like that. He like messaged me one day and he was like, 108 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,000 Hey, I'm writing the song. It's it's called the Hunt for the 109 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:05,600 Cyber Tooth. And I was like, that's the dumbest title, and I 110 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,919 think it's I think it might be the greatest thing you've ever written. Yeah, 111 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:11,840 And he explained it just like that, and I was like, without 112 00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:16,600 even hearing it or seeing lyrics, I can't wait to see what this is, 113 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,000 yeah, because it's it's amazing. And yeah, and the song turned 114 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,919 out great, which is hilarious that it's like, it's a pretty fun song 115 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,399 to play, but yeah, it's it's one of those ridiculous things we just 116 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,919 pushed hard into you know, just fantasy at one time live and the reception 117 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,799 on it was everybody was like, you have to play that every show? 118 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,960 Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, our friend Melanie from the 119 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,320 Great State of her Mind, she's in the chat room. She says, 120 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:48,039 nice Government Cybernetic Tigers are fantastic. Yeah, yes, yeah, we're excited 121 00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:52,480 about it. Yeah. And by the way, you sent us another track 122 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,320 to a self titled that track called Warhog and uh and and I like that 123 00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:01,480 too. We might actually end up playing uh both that and UH Hunt of 124 00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:05,159 the Cyber Tooth if we have time, but any any particular meaning behind that. 125 00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:11,279 It's always a bold move when a band uh puts out a song with 126 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,559 the same title as the band it's it's it's been done, but rarely has 127 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,159 it been done. Well, A lot of the bands that I like to 128 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:24,039 listen to do exactly that. Iron Maiden has Iron Maiden true, Black Sabbath 129 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,759 has Black Sabbath right like there, Hammerfall has Hammerfall right, like a lot 130 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,320 of the power metal and like old eighties kind of big arena metal bands do 131 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,440 that. And I just said the same thing to Eric one day. I 132 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:37,879 was like, there's actually a Halloween who has their own song. Yeah, 133 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,480 true, And I said, I told Eric, I was like, we 134 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,399 we should do a song that has our name in the title, like all 135 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:52,200 the cool eighties bands to and Eric was like okay, And then literally just 136 00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:58,879 the next day was like, here it is. That's awesome. Part we 137 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,240 played this one. And I have I have a lot of friends and family 138 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,360 that come and support us that don't like metal, and everyone that I've showed 139 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,759 this song to is like, I love this song and I hate metal. 140 00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:16,000 Yeah that's really cool. Well you've convinced me we're gonna we're gonna play both 141 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:22,679 of those today. Absolutely absolutely that that song features all of us on vocals 142 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,720 in the middle. So that's that was a fun thing to do. Yeah, 143 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,559 awesome, awesome. You guys, do you play out a lot? 144 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,080 Are you playing a lot of shows these days or what's the live situation? 145 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:41,120 Yeah? We so we started this year kind of strong. We played a 146 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,799 metal showcase in Dallas at a at a venue called Trees, which is a 147 00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:50,559 big, kind of really well known venue definitely in town, but like lots 148 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,000 of bands have played there in their earlier days, like Nirvana played their tool 149 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,559 played there. It's a it's a big national yeah, and we played a 150 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,639 metal show show case there with a bunch of our friends bands that we knew, 151 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,799 and had a really good turnout. So if our friends are listening and 152 00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:11,879 they came to that show, thank you so much. Because that show got 153 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,399 us a gig in front of a band called Crypta, who was a metal 154 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:22,639 band from Brazil. They were coming through three weeks later, and so we 155 00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:24,600 played that show on a set. We played our show on a Saturday and 156 00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:28,679 Monday, I think I had an email from the owner of the venue that 157 00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:31,720 said, Hey, we've got a band coming in from Brazil. Would you 158 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,440 like to open? Can you open? Are you available? And we're like 159 00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:43,440 yes. Now, keep in mind Robert joined the band like that the week 160 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,200 before we played that show. Wow, because because Ben had to quit our 161 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:52,080 original drummer, Ben, you know, we he made the decision to leave 162 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:56,480 the band in the summer of twenty three and so going into Christmas time, 163 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:03,440 we were contacting other drum looking for you know, getting auditions started. We 164 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,919 had talked to Robert and you know, we said like after the new year, 165 00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:09,399 let's learn some songs and get you in the in the room and see 166 00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:15,360 how it goes. And then the the gig showed up for this showcase and 167 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,720 we were like, well, instead of three songs, can you learn six? 168 00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:22,639 And he jumped he jumped in and a working audition yeah wow, And 169 00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:26,159 and it went so well, I mean, it was going really well that 170 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,919 we were like, this is the guy. We don't need to audition anybody 171 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,559 else. And then the next big show at the same venue happens. We 172 00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:35,799 played twice at Trees back to back, like less than three weeks apart, 173 00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:39,480 and we did that, and then we immediately were like, all right, 174 00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:43,279 this is good Robertson, Let's get in the studio and start recording stuff because 175 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:46,679 we've got all these yeah, like cyber Tooth are ready to record, Warhog 176 00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:50,559 is ready to record. We've got a bunch of stuff we've got. We've 177 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,480 got three EP's that are all written and essentially produced minus the drums. Oh 178 00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:58,039 okay, yeah yeah, And these three epi's, essentially when we released them 179 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,320 through this year, will become on one album. Okay, just because of 180 00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:05,639 how the current state of music is, people want like instant gratification. So 181 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,639 we're not going to do one album and make everybody wait a year where we 182 00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:15,159 decide to piece meal it through through the year and put a single here, 183 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,200 an EP there, that kind of thing, and then wrap it up in 184 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,200 a nice package at the end of the year. Yeah. Yeah, very 185 00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:22,279 cool. Yeah, that does seem you know, we live in an era 186 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,000 where you've got so many different options. And we may have even talked about 187 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,120 this the last time you were on with us, but I have noticed, 188 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,200 especially in the last couple of years, that seems to be what a lot 189 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,840 of the artists that we talked to on the show are doing now, is 190 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:39,120 they'll release, you know, they might release a series of singles that eventually 191 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,200 become an album. It's it's kind of the inverse of how it used to 192 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,919 be, you know, growing up, you know, a band puts out 193 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,360 an album and there's a several singles or maybe one or two singles, depending 194 00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:52,639 on how it you know, how it's selling, and and and now it's 195 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,360 kind of it's it's kind of been flipped flipped around. So but it's nice 196 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,639 to have those options. Yeah, it is. And I think also to 197 00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:03,840 your point, you know, you used to get an album and there might 198 00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:07,000 be three good songs on it and then six of them are okay. Yeah, 199 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,519 and I feel like now the pressure is like every song has to be 200 00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:14,919 a banger, you know. That's that's an interesting comment. I never thought 201 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,399 of it that way, but you're right, that's a really good point. 202 00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:21,360 Yeah, yeah, I mean even I think you could go all the way 203 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,720 back, right, like Black Sabbath's Paranoid was was I mean? And Tony 204 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:29,639 Iomi's own words like that was supposed to be a filler song. They just 205 00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:33,519 needed two and a half minutes of something to fill the other side of the 206 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,759 record. Yeah, and so he he like farted out Paranoid, right, 207 00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:41,440 and that's a classic, like of all time heavy metal song. Rights, 208 00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:47,600 But to art on our end, then every song needs to be a paranoid, 209 00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:51,240 right, that can stand on its own and work without the rest of 210 00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:53,480 what's going on. So it's funny. I didn't know that. I didn't 211 00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:59,360 know the story behind Paranoid, But that's interesting because that kind of explains why. 212 00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:02,519 You know, because bill Ward on that song, you know, he's 213 00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:07,000 it's such a basic drum pattern for him compared to everything else he does. 214 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,240 You know, Paranoid is so simple. Yeah, Tony I saw an interview 215 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,119 at Tony Oman was like they were at lunch, and I sat down and 216 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,640 wrote that riff and just put words to it and they came back and we 217 00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:23,079 just recorded it like that song was never intended to be really anything more than 218 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:29,039 the song between two other ones. You know, yeah, that's interesting. 219 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,799 Yeah. I didn't know that I was in a band that we actually covered 220 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,400 Paranoid, and the reason because we wanted to do a Black Sabbath song, 221 00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:37,640 but none of us were, you know, we didn't quite have the chops 222 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,920 to tackle something really complex, or at least our drummer didn't because the drums. 223 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,240 You know, Bill Ward is such an interesting drummer, and but Paranoid 224 00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:52,680 it's like so easy. I mean, it's just easy. I played, 225 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:57,279 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you guys influenced by you know, 226 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,680 you mentioned iron Maid of course? Are what what are some of the 227 00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:04,480 other artists that you guys are influenced by? Is it? Is it a 228 00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:10,240 lot of sort of sort of power metal stuff or Scott is definitely the power 229 00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:14,079 metal guy, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, that kind of stuff. I don't 230 00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:18,000 want to speak for one too much. I like, I'm kind of all 231 00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:22,519 over the spectrum. I grew up loving death metal, I love Pantera. 232 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,240 Being from Texas. Uh, I like Mastadon I mean, I tried so. 233 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,319 I when I write songs, I try to take influence from everybody. 234 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,640 But at the end of the day, I love Iron Maiden and stuff just 235 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,720 as much as Scott does. Yeah, I wouldn't say justice is Yeah. 236 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:41,440 We all grew up in the nineties, so you know the zeitgeist of metals. 237 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,440 You know, Metallica, Mega Death, Pantera, Ozzy, all those 238 00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:51,079 bands end up in the mix somehow, and then you know, as we've 239 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,200 grown older, just certain things sink in a little bit more. Yeah, 240 00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:59,400 it's all there, right, Like I think, well, you know in 241 00:18:59,519 --> 00:19:04,079 cyber to that and we'll play it and you'll hear it. That last chorus 242 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,599 is like I totally did Sound Garden. I totally was like, oh, 243 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,519 I should do a Chris Cornell vocal here at the end of people won't be 244 00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:18,920 expecting grunge at the end of Cybertooth. Yes, really good. Yeah, 245 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,880 you know, so like it's it's it's all in there, right, it's 246 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,200 awesome. Yeah, No, you're right, I did. I didn't think 247 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,559 of it quite that way, that the Chris Cornell thing, but you're right, 248 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,640 yeah, and yeah it does it. It totally works for the song 249 00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:33,759 Are These is what you do in the studio. Is any of that difficult 250 00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,599 to replicate live? You know, because you've got a lot of like these 251 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,920 these big vocals and whatnot. Is any of that a challenge or or do 252 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,599 you even worry? Maybe you don't even worry about it. Maybe maybe you 253 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,359 know, if it's a little bit raw live, that's okay. I don't 254 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,799 know. I mean, how do you approach that? Which, well, 255 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,759 that's I mean, I I can pretty much pull off all the stuff that 256 00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:59,480 I'm doing on the record live. Yeah. And then to that point, 257 00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:03,960 the boys, Eric and Justin have gotten really good about stepping up to the 258 00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:08,119 plate and the microphone. Yeah, and Cyber we played it live and me 259 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,519 and Justin did a lot of the backing vocals, and I thought that went 260 00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:15,480 really well. I mean, the crowd reacted to it, especially at the 261 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,519 end. Yeah, and we're hope doing it. And then Scott comes in 262 00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:23,039 with that Chris Cornell part. Yeah. Yeah, they're they're, they're they're 263 00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:26,319 doing really good with with jumping up and sharing some of the vocals. And 264 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,400 I think it's it's fun for me to have them doing it as well. 265 00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:34,960 But I think from the audience perspective, when you have the three guys across 266 00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:40,200 the top, all on microphones shouting stuff at the audience at once. Like 267 00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:45,559 it's a powerful kind of experience and interaction. You'll hear it in Warhawk, 268 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,440 like you'll know what part it is that we all yeah, and people react 269 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,599 to it. So we're we're working really hard to kind of pull some of 270 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,799 that stuff in as much as we can. Yeah, Yeah, Where do 271 00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:03,359 you guys record? So I'm the engineer and producer, and honestly, a 272 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,319 lot of the stuff that we do, thanks to technology, we do from 273 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,279 the comfort over our own home, So I mean you can, like I 274 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:18,759 don't even capture live amps anymore. I use amp sims exclusively, So we 275 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,160 literally plug into a computer and record our parts. Scott records literally right where 276 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:29,000 we're sitting right now. His vocals, he has a little vocal dampening feel 277 00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:33,119 he puts around him and belts out files. We usually use Dropbox to exchange 278 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,880 stuff. The only thing that we really have to do in any kind of 279 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,920 like special setting is the drums, and we do have, you know, 280 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:47,640 a rehearsal space, and honestly it's soundproofed and it's the perfect size to record 281 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,079 drums in. So right now, Robert's kid is there all miked up, 282 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,000 and when we do practice, we're very careful to not knock any mics over. 283 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,200 But I mean that's pretty much our how we do it. And I 284 00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:06,680 take it and put on my headphones and start mixing and mastering in what you 285 00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:10,160 what you hear is essentially what I what I get. Yeah, yeah, 286 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,559 it is. It is remarkable. You know, we live in a time 287 00:22:11,599 --> 00:22:15,440 where you can do it that way, you know. I mean, I'm 288 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,079 old enough to remember when there was no such thing as drop box and file 289 00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:23,480 tasking. Maybe, I mean, Scott Scott and I joke all the time 290 00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:29,319 that our eighteen year old selves would just be blown away with what we can 291 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,000 do now. Where we used to use a tape recorder to like overdub guitars 292 00:22:34,039 --> 00:22:38,640 and stuff, you know, to boom boxes sit next to each other so 293 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,119 I could do like a playback and then play over it, yeah, exactly, 294 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:48,039 singing in the shower, yeah yeah, yeah. Yeah. Poor Robert 295 00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:51,160 though, I mean, he's, like I said, he's new to the 296 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,079 band and we're really putting him through the grinder, because as seems, we 297 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,680 played those shows, it was like, all right, let's pack up the 298 00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:02,480 rehearsal stuff and get the the kit in here and to start recording. And 299 00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:07,000 he's been just learning songs and recording them like every couple of weeks. It's 300 00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:11,599 just a cycle of like learn practice record, learn, practice record. So 301 00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:15,880 yeah, having you having fun with that, Oh, it's a blast. 302 00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:22,759 I look forward to recording love it. I have been a good luck turn 303 00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:25,440 for us too, because we were all of a sudden he shows up in 304 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,480 the band and we get two shows immediately at Trees. And I know we 305 00:23:27,559 --> 00:23:30,960 were talking about live stuff earlier. You didn't mention going down to Austin. 306 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:33,759 Yeah, we're going to Austin and we're going to San Marcos, Texas. 307 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,000 There were Yeah, so we got some shows on the road, and and 308 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:40,880 then we're actually this summer we're coming when we when we play the summer, 309 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,799 we're opening for Drowning Pool. Nice. Yeah, So we have a lot 310 00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:47,960 of really cool stuff going on on top of releasing all the music that we're 311 00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:49,799 releasing. Yeah yeah, yeah, oh very cool. Yeah, you guys 312 00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:52,920 got a lot going on. But by the way, do you have any 313 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,279 videos, because your your songs certainly would lead themselves to some sort of fastical 314 00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:02,920 video. Do you have any So, we actually just had a lyric video 315 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,039 made for Warhog and we literally before we got on your show this morning, 316 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,440 approved the final product. I use an artist on Fiver that does a lot 317 00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:15,720 of videos for like Century Media, Nuclear Blasts, a bunch of other labels, 318 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:22,680 and uh, it's it's spectacular. Really. We're working with the PR 319 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,319 firm right now and I think we're set next week probably to release it. 320 00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:30,680 And uh once once we do, we'll sing all the link. It's we 321 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,079 we all giggled with how how it came out. It's pretty awesome. It's 322 00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:37,480 pretty good. Oh cool, cool, Yeah, I look forward to uh 323 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,160 look forward to seeing that very nice, very nice. Well, guys, 324 00:24:41,319 --> 00:24:45,160 Uh, the time does go so fast. We want to get those songs 325 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,559 in and then, of course, for those of you listening live, we 326 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,559 have Eric Pilter's classic film review coming up, and then in uh then in 327 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,799 the third hour, we're joined by another great band, dot Conduit. We're 328 00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:56,799 gonna be here with us live in studio.

The wealth of the earth's third richest gold mine, famed an 441 00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:35,199 American legend, is the origin of the Cane fortune. How to boarding housekeeper 442 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,400 Mary Kane, by a defaulting border in eighteen sixty eight, was left a 443 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:45,679 supposedly worthless deed to an abandoned mindshaft, the coloradolone. Fifty seven years later, 444 00:42:46,119 --> 00:42:51,599 before a congressional investigation, Walter P. Thatcher, grand old man of 445 00:42:51,679 --> 00:42:55,599 Wall Street, four year's chief target of Caine Paper's attacks on trusts, recalls 446 00:42:55,639 --> 00:43:00,639 a journey he made as a youth fain come and been appointed us tea by 447 00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:04,280 missus Kine for a large fortune which he recently acquired. It was how wish 448 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,800 that I should take charge of this boy, this Charles Foster Kane. Is 449 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:12,440 it not a Johnson that all lister case dunce that boy Charles Foster Kane personally 450 00:43:12,519 --> 00:43:16,280 attacked you after striking you in the stomach with the slaves, musham. And 451 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,599 I shall read to the Committee of Revents statements which I have brought with me, 452 00:43:21,079 --> 00:43:24,920 And I shall then refuse to answer any further questions. Mister Charles Foster 453 00:43:25,039 --> 00:43:29,519 Kane, in every essence of his social beliefs, and by the dangerous manner 454 00:43:29,519 --> 00:43:34,559 in which has persistently attacked the American traditions of private property, initiative and opportunity 455 00:43:34,639 --> 00:43:38,360 for advancement, is in fact nothing more or less than a communist. That 456 00:43:38,599 --> 00:43:44,840 same month in Union Square, in the words Charles Foster Kane, anus, 457 00:43:45,079 --> 00:43:49,760 do every working man in the slave he is today what he has always been 458 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:57,639 and always will be? Attachiest and still another opinion, and urged his country's 459 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,960 entry into one war appaus participation in another swung. The election to one American 460 00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:09,719 president at lease spoke for millions of Americans, was hated by as many more 461 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:16,599 for forty years appeared in Kane your sprint no public issue on which Caine papers 462 00:44:16,679 --> 00:44:23,079 took no stand. No public man whom Kane himself didnot support or denounce, 463 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:39,920 often support then denounce. Wee married vice divorce, first to a president's niece, 464 00:44:40,559 --> 00:44:45,360 Emily Dawton, who left him in nineteen sixteen died nineteen eighteen in a 465 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:52,360 motor accident with their son, sixteen years after his first marriage.

The still unfinished Sanadu cost no man, 470 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:30,159 can say. Caine, holder of mass opinion, though he was in all 471 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,400 his life, was never granted elective office by the voters of his country. 472 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:37,079 But caine tapers were once strong, indeed, and once the prize seemed almost 473 00:45:37,159 --> 00:45:43,239 his. In nineteen sixteen as independent candidate for governor, the best elements of 474 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,079 the state behind him. The White House seemingly the next easy step in a 475 00:45:46,159 --> 00:45:52,960 lightning political career. Then suddenly less than one week before election. Defeat, 476 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:59,320 shameful, ignominious. He heat that set back for twenty years the cause of 477 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,719 reform in the US, or ever canceled political chances for Charles Foster Kane. 478 00:46:06,519 --> 00:46:13,840 The first year of the Great Depression, Okaine paper closes Ocaine in four short 479 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:22,400 years collapse, eleven can papers merged, more sold, scrapped. Is that 480 00:46:22,519 --> 00:46:24,920 correct? Don't believe everything you hear on the radio. Read the inquirer. 481 00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:30,840 How did you find business conditions in Europe?

We asked them quicker than that. Come on, young fellas well, 486 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,360 what do you think of the chances for war in Europe? I've talked 487 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,960 with the responsible leaders the great powers England, French, Germany and Italy. 488 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,719 They're too intelligent to embark on a project which would mean the end of civilization 489 00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:00,079 as we now know it. You can take my word for it. There 490 00:47:00,199 --> 00:47:08,000 be no war. Kin helped to change the world. What Kine's world now 491 00:47:08,159 --> 00:47:14,239 is history, and the great Yellow Journalist himself lived to be history, outlived 492 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:19,719 his power to make it alone, and is never finished Already Decaine Pleasure Palace, 493 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,760 aloof seldom visited, never photographed, an emperor of newsprint, continued to 494 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:30,159 direct his failing empire, vainly attempted to sway as he once did, the 495 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:35,239 destinies of a nation that had ceased to listen to him, ceased to trust 496 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:42,559 him. Then, last week, as it must to all men, death 497 00:47:42,679 --> 00:47:50,199 came to Charles Foster Kane. No, the words you just heard are the 498 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,079 words that bring us into the world of Charles Foster Kane. It is a 499 00:47:54,199 --> 00:48:00,639 part of the opening scene from Citizen kan At nearly ten minutes and it's long. 500 00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:07,920 It attempts to encapsulate the life of a media titan, mogul, failed 501 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:14,559 politician, and a man that had everything but in reality had nothing that was 502 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:20,519 real. Last week we looked at the making of Citizen Kane in the controversy 503 00:48:20,599 --> 00:48:25,159 in pitfalls that surrounded it. This film was released in nineteen forty one and 504 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:31,400 tells the story of Charles Foster Kine, played by director Orson Wells, a 505 00:48:31,559 --> 00:48:37,760 man that as a young child inherits a fortune and then amass his wealth, 506 00:48:37,079 --> 00:48:43,440 fame, prestige, and notoriety as a national media mogul, but is missing 507 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:50,719 love and is emotionally broken. Our next two clips show what makes Kin such 508 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,360 a compelling character in cinema. First, in a conversation with his conservator, 509 00:48:54,519 --> 00:49:00,960 mister Thatcher, we hear the new newspaper man Kin explain his view on running 510 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:05,639 a newspaper. Then, in our second clip, a middle aged Caine, 511 00:49:05,679 --> 00:49:12,119 while running for governor, shows his over the top delivery and extreme self confidence. 512 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:19,559 These scenes are important because they establish what makes Caine so endearing and charming. 513 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:28,119 Also, notice the commanding presence Caine carries off jersey. He's that very 514 00:49:28,159 --> 00:49:30,719 good idea how to run a newspaper. I don't know how to run a 515 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,320 newspaper, mister Thatcher. I just try everything I can think of you. 516 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,039 Oh perfectly. Well, there's not the slight this proof of this. I'm 517 00:49:36,119 --> 00:49:42,159 mad's off the jersey. I'd like you to meet mister Thatcher. I'll just 518 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,159 cleland. Mister Thatcher, my ex guardian. We have no secrets from our 519 00:49:46,199 --> 00:49:50,320 readers, mister Burnstein, mister Thatcher is one of my most devoted readers. 520 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,480 He knows what's wrong with every copy of the Mployer since I took over read 521 00:49:52,519 --> 00:49:58,800 the cable girls delightful in Cuba. Stop could send you prose poems about scenery. 522 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,440 But don't feel right, Fenny, your money stopped. There is no 523 00:50:00,599 --> 00:50:04,519 war in Cuba, signed Wheeler, any air, Yes, deal Wheeler. 524 00:50:04,639 --> 00:50:07,679 You'll provide the prose poems. I'll provide the war. That's fine, mister 525 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,719 Cares. I rather like myself away. I came to see you about this 526 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:15,159 campaign of Jaws. He's in crade campaign against the Public Cleansit Company. Mister 527 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,079 Thatcher, Do you know anything we could use against them? Still the college 528 00:50:17,119 --> 00:50:20,599 boy on too, No, mister Thatcher. I was expelled from college a 529 00:50:20,639 --> 00:50:22,920 lot of colleges, you remember, I remember, Charles. I think I 530 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,000 should remind you of the fact that you seem to have forgotten. Yes, 531 00:50:25,079 --> 00:50:29,920 that's why yourself one of the largest in the JOSS in the Public Clensed Company. 532 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,400 Trouble is, you don't realize you're talking to two people as Charles Foster 533 00:50:32,519 --> 00:50:35,760 Kane, who owns eighty two thousand, three hundred and sixty four shares of 534 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,599 Public Transit Preferred. You see, I do have a general idea of my 535 00:50:37,639 --> 00:50:42,079 holdings. I sympathize with you. Charles Foster Kane is a scoundreul His paper 536 00:50:42,119 --> 00:50:45,000 should be run out of towner committee should formed to boycott him. You may, 537 00:50:45,079 --> 00:50:46,239 if you can form such a committee, put me down for contribution of 538 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,920 one thousand dollars my time. On the other hand, I am the establisher 539 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,119 of the Inquirer. As such, it's my duty, and I'll let you 540 00:50:52,159 --> 00:50:54,480 in on a little secret. It's also my pleasure see to you at the 541 00:50:54,559 --> 00:50:59,119 decent, hardworking people in this community aren't robbed blind by a pack of moneymad 542 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:05,480 pirates because having anybody to look after their interests. I'll let you in on 543 00:51:05,519 --> 00:51:07,719 another little secret, mister Thatcher. I think I'm the man to do it. 544 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,039 You see, I have money and property. If I don't look after 545 00:51:12,119 --> 00:51:15,119 the interests of the underprivileged, maybe somebody else will, maybe somebody without any 546 00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:20,000 money of property. Yes, well, I happened to see your financial statement 547 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,920 today, Charles, how did you now tell me? Honestly, my boy, 548 00:51:22,199 --> 00:51:27,960 don't you think it's rather unwise to continue this philanthropic enterprise, this empire 549 00:51:28,079 --> 00:51:30,119 that's costing you a million dollars a year? You're right, mister Thatcher. 550 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,679 I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million 551 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:37,119 dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars next year. You 552 00:51:37,199 --> 00:51:38,079 know, mister Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, 553 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:45,360 I'll have to close this place in sixty years. And now, Kine's campaign 554 00:51:45,559 --> 00:51:51,880 speech. Now a complete control of the government of the state. I made 555 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:58,840 no campaign promises because until a few weeks ago, I had no hope of 556 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:04,159 being elected. Now, however, I have something more than a hope. 557 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:16,400 Jim Jim Gettys has something less than a chance. Every struggled, every independent 558 00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:24,119 poll shows that I'll be elected. Now I can afford to make some promises 559 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:37,480 the working man, the working man, and the slung child. No, 560 00:52:37,639 --> 00:52:43,840 they can expect my best efforts in their interests. The decent ordinary citizens know 561 00:52:44,559 --> 00:52:47,599 that I'll do everything in my power to protect the underprivileged, the underpaid, 562 00:52:49,880 --> 00:53:01,719 the under fed. Mother is pop government not yet well, I'd make my 563 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:13,320 promises now if I weren't too busy arranging to keep them. You have one 564 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:19,679 promise I'll make, and Boss Jim get His knows I'll keep it. My 565 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,840 first official act is Governor of the state, will lead to appoint a special 566 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:30,320 district Attorney to arrange for the indictment, prosecution and conviction. Boss Jim W 567 00:53:30,639 --> 00:53:43,719 get his The main theme throughout this film is not Cain in his life, 568 00:53:44,159 --> 00:53:47,440 the power, fortune in fame that he carries. It is that this man 569 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:54,400 is emotionally bankrupt. His quest for control and love has disastrous consequences. That 570 00:53:54,559 --> 00:54:02,239 is because he is emotionally unavailable and unwilling to commit to anyone emotionally outside of 571 00:54:02,559 --> 00:54:09,039 just token things in gifts and money. In one of the most heartbreaking scenes 572 00:54:09,079 --> 00:54:16,880 of this film, Cain confronts longtime friend, supporter and reporter Jedediah Leland played 573 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:21,960 by Joseph Cotton, for writing a poor review of his current wife's opra. 574 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:27,760 In this scene, Leland explains what love is too Charles Foster Kane, and 575 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,960 how it is unlike what anyone else in the world would view as love. 576 00:54:31,679 --> 00:54:36,599 What you are unable to see in this scene due to audio only is the 577 00:54:36,679 --> 00:54:42,400 way Orson Wells and Greg Toland shot the scene to make Cain appear as a 578 00:54:42,559 --> 00:54:46,320 giant. To do this, they cut a hole in the floor of the 579 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:52,559 scene setting to lower the camera all the way down and shoot it upright for 580 00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:58,599 a larger view of Cain. Well, thank you God drought to it. 581 00:55:00,039 --> 00:55:07,079 Talk to me about mis Alexander, don't, father, I'm not interested. 582 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:21,000 I've set back the sacred cause of perform Is that it all right? That's 583 00:55:21,039 --> 00:55:23,519 the way they wanted the people who have made that choice. It's obvious the 584 00:55:23,559 --> 00:55:28,400 people preferred to Jim get his to me. You talk about the people as 585 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,960 though you own them, so they belonged to you. Goodness, As long 586 00:55:32,039 --> 00:55:37,519 as I can remember, you've talked about giving the people their rights, as 587 00:55:37,559 --> 00:55:42,679 if you can make them a present of liberty as a reward for services rendered. 588 00:55:43,159 --> 00:55:49,880 Remember the working man, I'll get drunk too, Jedediah, don't do 589 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,039 any good. I won't do any good. Besides, you never get drunk. 590 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:57,079 You used to write an awful lot about the working man. Or go 591 00:55:57,199 --> 00:56:02,519 on turning into something called organized labor. You're not gonna like that one little 592 00:56:02,599 --> 00:56:07,639 bit when you find out it means that you're a working man expects something as 593 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:14,239 his right, not as your gift. Charlie, when you're precious, underprivileged, 594 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:20,320 you really get together. Oh boy, that's gonna addup to something bigger 595 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:24,079 than your privilege. And I don't know what you'll do. Sail away to 596 00:56:24,159 --> 00:56:30,079 a desert island probably and lord it over the monkeys. I wouldn't worry about 597 00:56:30,079 --> 00:56:34,800 it too much. Jet I'll probably be a few of them there to let 598 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,000 me know when I do something wrong. You may not always be so lucky. 599 00:56:39,199 --> 00:56:43,920 Yeah, very drunk, it's wrong. What do you care? You 600 00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:49,880 don't care about anything except you. You just want to persuade people that you 601 00:56:50,119 --> 00:56:52,719 love them so much that they ought to love you back. Only you want 602 00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:59,280 love on your own terms. I promised it would be divulged if the influence 603 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:06,800 of William Randolph Hurst hindered this film. Sadly it did. Radio City Music 604 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:12,079 Hall refused to take part in the premiere. Many cinemas, fearing that Hurst 605 00:57:12,119 --> 00:57:17,519 would sue them for defamation or refuse to advertise their theaters just outright refused to 606 00:57:17,639 --> 00:57:23,440 show it. Hearst papers, radio stations, and magazines would not advertise the 607 00:57:23,519 --> 00:57:30,400 film. This led to the film losing an astounding one hundred and sixty thousand 608 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:37,400 dollars following its initial release. It nearly bankrupted RKO Pictures and led to Wells 609 00:57:37,519 --> 00:57:44,039 being labeled as troublesome in never wielding the power he had on this film creatively 610 00:57:44,239 --> 00:57:49,960 for the rest of his career. Despite this, the film did receive critical 611 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:54,039 acclaim. The Washington Post called it the single most important film ever made. 612 00:57:54,639 --> 00:58:01,880 It was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Wells was nominated 613 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:08,719 for Best Actor and Best Director. The film only won one award for Best 614 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:15,840 Original Screenplay for Herman Mankowitz and Wells. When the Oscars aired on Hurstoned radio 615 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:22,360 stations, the award was edited out of the broadcast. However, in the 616 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:27,320 sixties, this film began to have a major resurgence. This allowed the film 617 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:32,440 to gain the widespread appreciation it did not get upon release. That appreciation carries 618 00:58:32,559 --> 00:58:37,880 through to today. It is widely considered to be the greatest film ever made, 619 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:42,480 and in my opinion, it is. On a personal note, this 620 00:58:42,679 --> 00:58:47,239 film led me to have an admiration for Wells and his works. It also 621 00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:52,400 led me to seek a film minor while I was in college. I'm such 622 00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:59,159 a fan of Wells that one of my most prized possessions is an autograph from 623 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:05,000 Orson well That is why I have chosen to honor Wells this month. My 624 00:59:05,159 --> 00:59:12,639 birthday month, because without him in this marvelous, beautiful, heartbreaking, compelling 625 00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:17,719 film, it's safe to say there would not be classic film reviews with Eric 626 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:22,239 Pilcher. I hope you join me next week, when our month long tribute 627 00:59:22,239 --> 00:59:28,559 to Urson Wells continues with one of his most heralded performances ever in Carol Mann's 628 00:59:28,679 --> 00:59:35,519 nineteen forty nine film The Third Man. To close this review for WMNH and 629 00:59:35,639 --> 00:59:37,880 Matt Connorton Unleashed, this has been a classic film review
