WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:04.639 You've died and gone to the afterlife. They're waiting for 2 00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:07.799 you as your partner of sixty five years. They're young 3 00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:11.359 and vibrant again and looking forward to spending forever together 4 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.560 with you.

It's your first spouse, who died sixty 6 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.920 seven years ago and waited for you before deciding where 7 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.920 they would spend there forever. Now you face a tough decision. 8 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:35.520 It's Eternity. I'm rodel Young Junior, and I'm leaving the 9 00:00:35.520 --> 00:01:28.879 theater all right.

Eternity is a movie about a 16 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.680 man named Larry who dies and as he goes into 17 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:10.719 the afterlife, he is confronted with this structure in which 18 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.759 he has a week to choose where his permanent afterlife 19 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:19.280 will be While he's there, he realizes that his wife, 20 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.719 who had cancer, was soon to die, and he wanted 21 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.639 to wait for her before he chose his afterlife. His 22 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:31.400 wife dies, and when she does, they both realize that 23 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.719 there's been another man waiting for her in the same 24 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:42.560 afterlife kind of temporary waiting area. And his name is 25 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.120 Luke and this was her first husband. He died in 26 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.360 the Korean War. Two years later, she marries Larry, has 27 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.879 a full life with Larry, including children and grandchildren. She 28 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.560 is then confronted with the choice to choose who she 29 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.479 will spend eternity with, because whoever she chooses, that will 30 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:07.680 be the permanent choice for the rest of eternity. Wow. Okay, 31 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.479 so this film the premise is I think the premise 32 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.319 is what got me. I said, Oh, that's an interesting premise. 33 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:20.080 It's a love triangle. The premise started strong, and I 34 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.360 think one of the first thing I note is that 35 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:29.120 in the afterlife, you are reverted to the body in 36 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:33.039 which you were the most happiest. This means that when 37 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.120 we see Miles Teller and we see Elizabeth Olsen in 38 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:41.039 the afterlife, they are young, but they are acting like 39 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.520 old folks. We meet them as old folks bickering in 40 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:48.360 the car, being generally like just grandparents, you know what 41 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.240 I mean, That's how we meet them. And the first 42 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.599 thing I noted was that as soon as Miles Teller 43 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.719 shows up in the Afterlife, he's acting like an old person. 44 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.800 And it's not the way he's walking, but it's more 45 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.400 the way he's talking, in the way he's relating to 46 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.520 the world, which I thought was it was a lot 47 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.639 of fun because Elizabeth Olsen was doing the same thing. 48 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.840 And even when Callum Turner shows up as Luke, he 49 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.039 died after he was shipped off to the Korean War, 50 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:21.480 and as a result, he also is embodying someone from 51 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.240 a long time ago. Even though he's in this youthful body, 52 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:32.240 his soul is very much still this old timey ward 53 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:37.399 twenty thirties, dapper dir dy, like that type of guy. 54 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.519 Hopefully I'll understand what I mean. I think that portion 55 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.639 of the acting was very, very admirable. Was a I 56 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.279 think it was a small thing, but obviously they they 57 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.279 discussed it enough that I felt like they nailed that 58 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.240 portion of it. Divine Joy Randolph and John Early are 59 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.959 very funny in this movie. They play what are called 60 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:02.319 AC's or afterlife coordinators. Their whole job is to ussure 61 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:08.199 along people in making their eternity decisions. The way that 62 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:15.000 they both interact with Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller and 63 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:20.240 Callum Turner is very very it's fun. I'm having a 64 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.879 good time. At some points it felt like an ensemble comedy, 65 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.600 even though it was more about the love triangle. But 66 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.720 they gave Divine Joy Randolph and John Early so much 67 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.240 to do that it was just very good and everybody 68 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.120 had chemistry. There's chemistry between Miles Teller and Elizabeth Olsen, 69 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.720 There's chemistry between Elizabeth Olsen and Kllum Turner, and then 70 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.720 there's also this great dynamic between Miles Teller and Divine 71 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.040 Joy Randolph, as well as between John Early and Divine 72 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.240 Joy Randolph. They're just all enjoyable and such a delight 73 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.519 to watch on screen. While I'm watching this movie, I 74 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.600 realized that if you are a fan of The Good 75 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:07.519 Place or upload from Amazon Prime or the Adjustment Bureau, 76 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.600 this will be a movie that you probably also enjoy. 77 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.800 Definitely that sense of I don't know if magical realism 78 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.279 is the right term, but I will use it to 79 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.360 say they don't do a lot of explaining as to 80 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.720 what the afterlife is. As a matter of fact, I 81 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.959 appreciated that they made it very neutral and non religious, 82 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.319 meaning that everyone has an afterlife, everyone chooses an eternity, 83 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.680 and it's up to them to choose exactly where they 84 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.759 want to be, and if some of those are religious, 85 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.720 then so be it, and if some of those are not, 86 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.360 then so be that as well, which was interesting, and 87 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:53.199 they had a lot of fun selecting all the different 88 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.720 types of afterlifs. It reminded me a lot of The 89 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.360 Good Place in that way for those that enjoy that show, 90 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.079 there's a lot of reference says to all the different 91 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.839 types of good places. Or there's a restaurant that has 92 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.120 that kept changing the name and it had puns in 93 00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.360 the name about clam chowder and so on and so forth, 94 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.839 And I feel like that joke is kind of continued, 95 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.680 even though it's not by the same person, but it's 96 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.279 continued in this movie, meaning that there's just an infinite 97 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.480 amount of types of world you can go. There's beach world, 98 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.240 there's mountain world, there's Studio fifty four world. There's a 99 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.120 lot of jokes about the world. They were just really enjoyable, 100 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.079 like all of the kind of jokes about what world 101 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.079 that you could go to. And there's a lot of 102 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.160 things happening in the background as they're in this kind 103 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.519 of busy, kind of train station slash depot area that 104 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.800 looks kind of like a combination of any conference hotel 105 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.800 you've ever been to and any train station you've been to. 106 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.920 There's a beautiful kind of combination of both of those 107 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.959 things happening here, and there's all of these different selections 108 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.360 of the type of afterlife eternity that you can choose, 109 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.319 and it's just funny. It's funny. They have a lot 110 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:08.560 of fun with that portion of it. But it's also 111 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:14.319 it's a very interesting premise because this movie is talking 112 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:16.519 about loving more than one person at the same time, 113 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.879 it's talking about two different types of love, meaning that 114 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.360 the type of love that Joan, who is Elizabeth Olsen, 115 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.560 had with Larry was different because she was with him 116 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.800 for a very long time, versus the love that she 117 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.399 had with Luke, which was new and hot and fresh 118 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.759 and it was very much the spark that people think 119 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:43.000 of all of that existed there. Pitting those two types 120 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.600 of love against each other was it was very interesting 121 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.960 because I think it's the ways in which we think 122 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:54.360 about whether or not something is working or not. I 123 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.679 feel like I've I've heard it said, whether directly to 124 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:00.759 me or generally, you'll just be like, I just don't 125 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.840 feel that spark. I don't feel that spark. And I 126 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.759 think it's interesting because I think this movie explores something 127 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.480 that I've only done a thought experiment on, which is 128 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.159 the idea of a spark is very exciting because it 129 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.200 starts a fire, you know. And so when you're starting 130 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.120 a fire, you see the flint light up and then 131 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.600 you see those sparks fly and then it's fire. But 132 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:27.320 if you think about what fire became fire when we 133 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:31.559 started to control it became electricity. And something that's not 134 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.519 exciting is walking into a room and turning on a 135 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:38.399 light switch. And that's not exactly a miracle because we 136 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.960 could dismiss it as ordinary. But if we still go 137 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.879 by the beach and stand by the fire, we're like, ooh, 138 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.759 the fire is so interesting. They both give light, but 139 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.720 for some reason we value one over the other. Even 140 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:55.480 though the utility of electricity is still a miracle, it's 141 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.360 just become mundane in the way that we kind of 142 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.320 live our lives, and that's kind of what we look 143 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.039 at when it comes to these longer term relationships or 144 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.519 relationships in which you ease into the comfort of it. 145 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.480 And it doesn't mean that it doesn't mean as much 146 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:14.600 to you, but it certainly means that your relationship with 147 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.399 it is different. And I think this movie does a 148 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.440 very good job of addressing both of those head on. 149 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.720 It says, this is one thing and this is another thing, 150 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.240 and Elizabeth Olsen has to do a lot of work 151 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.240 and a woman who is torn between those two decisions 152 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.960 of this is hot and sparky and so deeply romantic 153 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.600 that this man waited for me in this depot sixty 154 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:44.080 seven years for me to show up so that we 155 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:48.559 could be together, and she has to weigh that against 156 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.240 but I built a life with this other man who 157 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.840 has such a good rapport with and we have all 158 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:58.639 these this family history, all of that which also feels important. 159 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:00.879 And it does a very good job job of her 160 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.879 walking the balance between those two things and her confronting 161 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:08.440 them and really making a decision as to what she 162 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:13.919 actually wants. This movie Eternity is kind of past lives 163 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.240 with jokes. You know, this is a lot more funny 164 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.559 and a lot more lighthearted. It's a true romantic comedy. 165 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.679 Past Lives is a drama, it's a romance. It's really 166 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:26.559 it's not meant to be funny, and it's not funny. 167 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.440 And it was hard for me. It was devastating for 168 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:32.279 me to watch, whereas there are parts of it that 169 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.399 made me feel deeply sad and like, oh my god, 170 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.200 what a decision, And there were other parts of it 171 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:45.320 that made me understand kind of the choice that the 172 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:49.759 woman the main character forgetting both the name of I 173 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:53.159 want to say her name is Greta Lee, but that's 174 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.480 not the character's name. But it's making me understand the 175 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.360 choice that she had in Past Lives in a way 176 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.320 that I couldn't appreciate before. And I'll revisit the movie, 177 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.120 but again, it's a movie about thinking about the possibilities 178 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:12.120 of love and what it looks like to be in 179 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:16.679 love when love continues, and to think about the possibility 180 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:21.399 of love when love begins. And it really says which 181 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.759 one do you want? It looks you straight in the 182 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:27.960 face and says which one do you want? And man, 183 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.639 I just I liked it. I dug it. And with 184 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.559 this movie existing in a movie like Good Fortune coming out, 185 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.480 movies that are smaller than say something like Centers or 186 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.960 Wicked for Good or Avatars coming out in a couple 187 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:49.879 of weeks. It just it really, it gave me some hope. 188 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.320 This is an original screenplay and for this to not 189 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.399 be an adaptation of something else, for it to be 190 00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:01.360 completely original and made it just made me so excited. 191 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:06.320 This and Good Fortune heartened me for the possibilities of 192 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:11.120 storytelling in Hollywood. And with all that being said, for me, 193 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.360 this was a strong four point twenty five. I liked 194 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.519 it a little bit more than Good Fortune, but not 195 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.720 by much. I think I gave Good Fortune a four. 196 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.879 This is a four point twenty five because at one 197 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:25.639 point in the movie I thought it was starting to 198 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:27.440 get a little silly, and I thought it was starting 199 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:32.080 to run off track, and then it just it adjusts. 200 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.320 And it doesn't just adjust, It knew what it was doing. 201 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.679 It wrote itself into the right direction in a way 202 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.399 that just ah. Man, it was very satisfying to watch, 203 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:53.519 and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it, so yeah, Miles 204 00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:57.000 Teller fantastic. Elizabeth Olsen, I think is one of the 205 00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:00.759 most underrated actresses of this generation. I'm glad that she's 206 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.279 moving beyond the Marvel cinematic universe, and I feel like 207 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.919 if this is any indication of where she's going, then 208 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.480 we should be very excited for her. Everyone in this 209 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.639 job did a great movie. Callum Turner fantastic. I don't 210 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.200 know what else he's in. I'm sure y'all do. You're 211 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.480 probably yelling it at me right now, but I know 212 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.519 he's been in other things, things that I may have 213 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.879 missed or things that I did not recognize him in. 214 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.759 He's fairly new to me, but I know he's been 215 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:31.200 in other things. And John Earland to Divine Joy Randolph. 216 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.840 Divine Joy Randolph is wonderful in this movie. She's so good. 217 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:40.879 I hope that she keeps getting work. I feel like 218 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:47.360 I've seen her around since. I know she was in 219 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.200 Orange is the New Black, but I first recognized her 220 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:55.320 from Only Murders in the Building, and then of course 221 00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:58.559 she did the one with Paul Giamatti a few years ago, 222 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:04.440 The Leftovers, The Holdovers, one of those two, and yeah, 223 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:06.919 I just really enjoyed her in this film. Everybody did 224 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:10.799 a great job. Yeah, this is a four point two 225 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:12.720 five star movie. And a couple of times in my 226 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.000 mind it was pinging five stars, it was pinging it 227 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.000 up there, but not quite. There was a little bit 228 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.759 of silliness that I felt like kind of pulled it 229 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:25.480 off track. And I think that there were some constraints 230 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.600 that were plot driven, meaning that there were rules that 231 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.480 only existed in this version of Eternity as plot devices, 232 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:38.200 the passage of time, perhaps every constraint that existed in 233 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:44.279 this film was they were all plot specific. So something 234 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.919 about that was a little bit off putting. Not off putting, 235 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:50.879 but it was one of those like mm hmm. Didn't 236 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:52.960 quite think of it all, did you? Or was this 237 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.080 only makes sense in the context of this Eternity, which 238 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:58.720 it wasn't bad, but it's one of those things where 239 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.799 I started to question some of the rules here. Early 240 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:06.720 in the film, Larry runs into Luke at a bar 241 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.000 and he doesn't recognize that it's Luke, even though he'd 242 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:12.840 seen a picture of him in real life. And I 243 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:14.679 felt like that was a little bit like, you just 244 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.159 saw a picture of him, why would you not you 245 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.519 would know who that was? And then also why would 246 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:20.960 you introduce him in that way? But there's a bookended 247 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.600 part of the film, which is why I think they 248 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:25.679 went in that direction. And the whole idea is of 249 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.559 all the balls and bars in the world, of all 250 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.000 the bars in the world, why'd you choose this one 251 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.360 type thing? I think there was a romantic element there, 252 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:36.320 so little things like that is what knocked it down 253 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.879 for me. But still very good. Four point twenty five 254 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:45.480 of five stars and with that. Leaving the Theater is 255 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.919 a production of Oh It's Big Ron Studios. I mixed 256 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.039 this episode and by the time you're hearing this, I 257 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:59.440 probably changed the URL on the Patreon website, so go 258 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:01.799 to the link in the show notes. It will be 259 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:05.039 specific there. It's likely going to be patreon dot com 260 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:09.440 slash oh It's Big Ron, unless I can't get that one. 261 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.400 But by the time you're hearing this, what I'm doing 262 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:18.960 is consolidating the Patreon because I want to start using 263 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.039 all oh It's Big Ron Studios projects in one place. 264 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.440 We've been very successful with Leaving the Theater, meaning that 265 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.480 we have a lot of dedicated patrons. So for all 266 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:31.279 of you that are already patrons right now, and you'll 267 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.079 notice you're hearing a part of the show that you 268 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.200 don't normally hear. In the ad free episodes. But for 269 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.200 all of you that are dedicated patrons, now you will 270 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:44.119 start to receive more. You'll get whatever offerings that come 271 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:48.359 with supporting. Oh it's big ron studios. Beyond just leaving 272 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.559 the theater, those will all come. You will not lose anything. 273 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.960 You will still get. I don't like that. As I 274 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.599 eventually make a new episode, you will still get on 275 00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:01.359 the couch, you will still get even the theater ad free, 276 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:03.720 you will still get updates. I believe I'm going to 277 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:06.279 add a newsletter. There's going to be a lot more 278 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.079 coming to Patreon, and the first step that I need 279 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.119 to do is consolidate everything and then start giving all 280 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.640 the news. I'm beginning to wait for it, and this 281 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.640 is the first that you'll hear this. I want to pivot. 282 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.720 Wait for it. I'm putting out new episodes very soon. 283 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:28.880 But also I'm developing new shows, and I don't want 284 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:34.519 to rely on money from studios and podcasting studios to 285 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:38.200 do that. I want to use the listeners that already 286 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.599 believe in what I'm doing and what I'm able to do. 287 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:42.920 And I know a lot of y'all have been with 288 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.119 me for a long time and all I'm saying is 289 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:49.000 stick with me, stay in the Patreon. And for those 290 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.680 of you that haven't joined the Patreon yet, leaving the 291 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.880 theater listeners, this is a good time to join. If not, 292 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.480 I appreciate that you still listen to the show, but 293 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:04.799 know that by joining the Patreon, you are moving the 294 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:08.559 future of oh It's Big Ron Studios ahead and that 295 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.039 means a lot to me. And there's gonna be more. 296 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:14.319 There's more offerings coming. If you're saying that I need 297 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:15.960 to get something for the bucks that I'm giving you, 298 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.559 I will be beginning to offer more. You'll see it 299 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:20.680 as it comes. For those of you that have been 300 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:22.599 in the Patreon the whole time, you've seen that the 301 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.680 offerings have increased over the last year or so and 302 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.119 that will continue in the future. But I need y'all 303 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.359 to remember today is Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I'm out here 304 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:35.440 seeing a movie so I can get this out to y'all. 305 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.680 This is labor. It is a labor of love, but 306 00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.440 it is labor. And if that means something to you, 307 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.839 go to patreon dot com slash oh It's Big Ron, 308 00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:49.000 probably and if that doesn't work, just click on the 309 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:51.839 link in our show notes that will certainly be correct. 310 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.960 Show art from Heather Wilder.
