00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Weird.

2
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 2>We welcome back Midnight viewers to find the blog's weekly is

3
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>it round up. I'm Father Malone and with me as

4
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>always following her own personal code, which in this case

5
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 2>is to snore loudly at all times, is miss ripley Gen.

6
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>We'll get there. First order of business, I have lost

7
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>my Father Malone Instagram account. I'm trying to get it back,

8
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 2>but I lost my phone and then I got locked

9
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 2>out of it. I'm still in charge of this show's account, however,

10
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>that's Midnight Underscore Viewing. That's our Instagram handle, and we're

11
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>on Threads and blue Sky and all the non Reich

12
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>based platforms. But if you've been attempting to contact me

13
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>on the Father Malone Instagram, I'm sorry, but I do

14
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>not have access. Frustratingly, it's still linked to my Midnight

15
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Viewing account, so I can see that there are interactions occurring.

16
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 2>I just have zero access, So if you're expecting a

17
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>reply there, I apologize. Please go to Midnight Underscore Viewing

18
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 2>and follow us there, and if you need to get

19
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>in touch Father Malone, seven to one at gmail dot

20
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>com is the way to do that, or Thepatreon dot

21
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 2>com slash fatherm alone. If you want to pay to

22
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 2>talk to me, I am not above that. So once again,

23
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>apologies for the confusion. If there's been any here is

24
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>nothing to be confused about. Paramount and CBS can go

25
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 2>fuck themselves going forward. You can cancel a show because

26
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 2>you don't like your host, or you can cancel a

27
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 2>show because there's something promising in the pipeline to take

28
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>its place. Anything but a politically motivated cancelation. I was

29
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>very much looking forward to the Naked Gun remake with

30
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 2>Akifa Shaffer at the Helm, but now that can wait

31
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 2>for some uncertain future. They're not getting a dime of

32
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.719
<v Speaker 2>my money and I'm not talking about any of their

33
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 2>new shit until some kind of regime change occurs or

34
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Disney buys them. WHOA, that's a sneak attack from a

35
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 2>lovely co host. All right, baby, you get your choice,

36
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 2>and thank you HB for that theme. I'd like to

37
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 2>remind you and the listeners that the number three pet

38
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 2>peeve of serial killers is that there's rarely a serial

39
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>killer day at a ballpark. I like that it's rarely

40
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 2>but not unheard of. Before we get to what Rip's watching,

41
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I just want to mention what I've been watching. It

42
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 2>ties in trust me, that fucking nautiless show. I love

43
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Jules Verne, I love the steampunk aesthetic. I love Chazade.

44
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Latif too man and he deserves a great show, and

45
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>he makes total sense to play Captain Nemo. But this

46
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>ain't the show for that guy. This is Hallmark Entertainment

47
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 2>circa nineteen ninety seven. Shit. But it is not Latif's fault.

48
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Remember him as Doctor Jacko and Penny Dreadful excellent. Ah,

49
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Penny Dreadful. Anyone want to come review that show with me?

50
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Episode by episode, Penny Dreadful is the best, except for

51
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 2>that horrible City of Angels follow up. I disavow that

52
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 2>show completely. We need a grizzled old cop breaking in

53
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.319
<v Speaker 2>this city's token Latino detective on the streets of Los

54
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Angeles in the volatle years leading up to World War Two.

55
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.919
<v Speaker 2>Get me Nathan Lane. Anyway, the show Penny Dreadful, like

56
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 2>the book that ultimately inspired it, The long shadow of

57
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Count Dracula cast over the entire series, and in the

58
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>final season he showed up played by an actor named

59
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Christian Carmargo. He was my favorite part of that season

60
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 2>and as a testament to what a great thespian he is,

61
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>or how completely inobservant I am. I did not recognize

62
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 2>him from his turn on Dexter, where he played Dexter's

63
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>brother Brian Moser, the ice truck killer, which leads us

64
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>to Rip's pick. We're talking Dexter resurrection.

65
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 3>Somebody once told me you have to go through hell

66
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 3>to achieve resurrection. Hallelujah Dexter.

67
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 4>As I seeing the ghost, Chief Bishop told me that

68
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 4>you were alive.

69
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>She said that you were the Bay Harbor butcher.

70
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 3>So much for the happy reading that what better place

71
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 3>to hide?

72
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>He is the greatest the world.

73
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 3>But nobody knows who you really are. Tell me where

74
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 3>about your friends?

75
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.319
<v Speaker 4>Crator likes to own things. Time to meet the man

76
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 4>of the.

77
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 3>Man or welcome.

78
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 4>I cannot express how excited I am to meet you.

79
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 3>You really like Cereal fellas. I pride myself in finding

80
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 3>the best of the best in every field.

81
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 4>Let's show and tell day so there are others on

82
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 4>their way, only in New York.

83
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 3>Tonight's the night.

84
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Invitation delivered.

85
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 4>It's just a dark path you're going up. I urge

86
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 4>you to be careful, son, I'm tired to be careful.

87
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 4>What do you think.

88
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.600
<v Speaker 2>We got two episodes out now three by the time

89
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 2>you're hearing this, and it's very promising. I hated most

90
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.879
<v Speaker 2>of the back end of the original Dexter, and I

91
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 2>was pretty nonplussed with the sequel. I don't know what

92
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the fuck the prequel show is. It's like watching a

93
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 2>TV version of a movie, except it's a TV version

94
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 2>of a TV show. It reminds me of the scene

95
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>in The Fly when Jeff Goldbum teleports the steak and

96
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.519
<v Speaker 2>then Geenet Davis eats it and she's like, ah no,

97
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 2>this is wrong. The Texter the feeling it's artificial. That's

98
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Dexter Original sin, but this is Dexter Colon Resurrection. Side note,

99
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>pardon my digression, but I learned that when studios do that,

100
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 2>when they continue a series but they retitle it not

101
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.000
<v Speaker 2>by much. They don't want to alienate the original viewers,

102
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 2>so it's Dexter new Blood or Fuller House. That way,

103
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 2>they can avoid all the original contracts. Technically, it's season

104
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>five you're doing, and all the promised bonuses and increased

105
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.279
<v Speaker 2>pay should kick in. Iu're doing a whole new show.

106
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 2>The Almighty dollar, y'all. It's gonna kill every last one

107
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>of us quicker and more efficiently than Dexter Dexter. I

108
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.079
<v Speaker 2>read his book when it came out, mainly because of

109
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.879
<v Speaker 2>as typnonic title Darkly Dreaming Dexter. I know unplanned alliteration

110
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>is a hallmark of sloppy writing, but when it's intentional

111
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 2>it gets me in my out of step grammatical heart. Anyway,

112
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I read that book. I enjoyed the show. My late

113
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>wife loved the show. Loved the show, owned all the

114
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 2>seasons on DVD. It was frequently on in my home.

115
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.199
<v Speaker 2>That first season, which is a straight adaptation of that

116
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 2>first book, is easily the best in the series. Surprise Motherfucker.

117
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of Doakes, I promise we'll stop sub referencing and

118
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 2>get back on target. My favorite moment in my favorite

119
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.199
<v Speaker 2>season is during that Surprise Motherfucker's scene when they start

120
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:52.399
<v Speaker 2>fighting and Doakes realizes I was right, followed immediately by

121
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 2>the thought, oh shit, I was right, and you see

122
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.839
<v Speaker 2>him recognizing instantly what a credible and dangerous customer Dexter

123
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Morgan actually is. So I'm familiar with the program enough

124
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 2>to say that had the season six plot been used

125
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.399
<v Speaker 2>for season five, they could have ended the series very neatly. Instead,

126
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 2>they kept limping along with lame executions of sometimes decent

127
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>premises and sometimes what if there was somebody who taught

128
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Harry the code? I don't care if it was Charlotte Rampling.

129
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.360
<v Speaker 2>That was fucking the lame. I'm surprised they didn't have

130
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.680
<v Speaker 2>deb selling hair tonic that turns your hair accidentally orange

131
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>by the end. Damn it, I said, I would stop

132
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 2>sub referencing. Okay, original series ended good. They had by

133
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:34.840
<v Speaker 2>then completely mishandled the golden opportunity that was ivonn Strohowsky

134
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>as fellow serial murderer slash love interest. But anyway, the ending,

135
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 2>it's not quite the kick and the teeth that the

136
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Sopranos ending was. What are your thoughts on these Sopranos ending?

137
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:46.799
<v Speaker 2>I know this is old news, but if David Chase

138
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 2>did one thing I won't say right. If David Chase

139
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>did one thing effectively, it was keep the show in

140
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>conversation nearly two decades later because of that ending. It's

141
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a great show and we'd be talking about it anyway,

142
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.759
<v Speaker 2>But it's sauce for the goose. Here's my opinion. If

143
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 2>it's David Chase saying there is no more television after this.

144
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm down. My show is so good. It ended the

145
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.919
<v Speaker 2>broadcast medium just turned it off. But then I would

146
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.279
<v Speaker 2>accept that ending from any series and call it great.

147
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 2>And while the Sopranos lived on television, it never was

148
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.679
<v Speaker 2>a meditation on the medium. So the end of TV argument,

149
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 2>while tantalizing that ain't it Kid? That ain't n it Kid?

150
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 2>Dance ten looks three, you know that's the name of

151
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.039
<v Speaker 2>that song, not tits an ass. I hope somebody is

152
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 2>getting these references. My pop culture brain is overstuffed. I

153
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>need to get a chorus line out, be gone, Marvin Hamlish.

154
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Now if it's David Chase saying this feeling, you have

155
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker 2>this escalation where every day mundane actions seem to be

156
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.799
<v Speaker 2>adding up to something horrible occurring, and you never quite

157
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.799
<v Speaker 2>get that payoff. If he's telling us that's Tony's life

158
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.399
<v Speaker 2>from now on and his famili's for that matter, not

159
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 2>that at any moment they're in danger, but every moment,

160
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.879
<v Speaker 2>and that first will never be slaked. Then I'm down,

161
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 2>though I'm not sure it warranted ten seconds of dead air,

162
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.480
<v Speaker 2>and we know David Chase did have a definitive end

163
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.799
<v Speaker 2>of that series. Tony Soprano goes into New York to

164
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 2>meet the families, and in the tunnel on the way

165
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 2>back to Jersey, he is murdered. That was it, That

166
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 2>was how the series was going to end. But before

167
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 2>they got there, he started analyzing what people were expecting

168
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 2>from an ending and feeling a bit queasy about letting

169
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.840
<v Speaker 2>the nation who've been idolizing this guy for a decade

170
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.159
<v Speaker 2>off the hook by killing him at the last second

171
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 2>or letting him live, thus lionizing all of his terrible behavior.

172
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.759
<v Speaker 2>What do you do? I know nothing, and I'll convince

173
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.120
<v Speaker 2>everyone that it's secretly genius, and it might be. Dexter

174
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 2>should have ended many years earlier. But the ending we

175
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.720
<v Speaker 2>got with Dexter finally realizing that he destroys everything around

176
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.559
<v Speaker 2>him and should have zero interactions with humans and isolating

177
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 2>himself under an assumed name in the wilds of Oregon.

178
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 2>I thought appropriate. It wasn't satisfying at all, but it

179
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 2>was appropriate. So when they decided to bring him back

180
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 2>with a grown son, I thought, oh, this is going

181
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.080
<v Speaker 2>to be awful, and it was. Even the mighty Clancy

182
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Brown could not make that wintry nonsense. Interesting. Also, you

183
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.759
<v Speaker 2>bring back Harrison and not Ivan Strohofsky, shame on you.

184
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Then there was the prequel, and now Dexter's back himself

185
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.480
<v Speaker 2>despite dying at the end of the New Blood series. Okay, whatever.

186
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to tell you to skip the first episode

187
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>of Dexter Rezarexter because it's so fucking clunky and scattershot,

188
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.519
<v Speaker 2>and for some damned reason we're still including Harrison in

189
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the mix, and yet no Ivan Strohofsky. Can you tell

190
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.639
<v Speaker 2>I've got a thing for uh Ivan Strohofski. Also, I

191
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:37.159
<v Speaker 2>really enjoy saying Evan Strohofski, she's Australian and a dreamy.

192
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.120
<v Speaker 2>We get Batista back Fweebo. I need to find Fuebo.

193
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>It's great to see him, honestly, and we get a

194
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 2>ghostly fucking cavalcade of cameos from the original series, The

195
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:52.279
<v Speaker 2>Family Man Senator Bale Organa Doakes, But no Eddie James

196
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 2>almost I call him Eddie because we're pals in my

197
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 2>fan fiction. But is his absence because Dexter never actually

198
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.960
<v Speaker 2>met the Professor, who is almost continuing his streak as

199
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.519
<v Speaker 2>the greatest grump of all time? Remember him in zoot

200
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 2>suit did you even see Zootsuit? I'm gonna need you

201
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.080
<v Speaker 2>all to get caught up with me right now. I'll wait,

202
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.080
<v Speaker 2>go watch everything I've ever seen. Pause the show. I'll

203
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.799
<v Speaker 2>be here. Okay, now you've seen everything. We're in agreement,

204
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 2>right cool. New Dexter is promising. What can I tell you?

205
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>The second episode gave me early Dexter vibes, and it's

206
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>got Uma Thurman, and it hints at a plot of

207
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>a secret society of serial killers whose members include David

208
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Dosmalchian and Eric stone Street and Kristin Ritter and Peter Dinklage.

209
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.120
<v Speaker 2>I am cautiously optimistic. I say give it a watch, enjoy,

210
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>and weirdly, a society of serial killers and emberin behavior

211
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.759
<v Speaker 2>stands right next door to our main topic of the evening.

212
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't gonna go too far in depth about The Sandman,

213
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 2>but I do want to delve into a bit of

214
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.759
<v Speaker 2>its progenitors, because everything that happened before the Sandman comic

215
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.639
<v Speaker 2>and its influences in earlier creators are far more palatable

216
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 2>than everything that happens after the Sandman comic. Not everything. Fortunately,

217
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 2>the books remain great up until a point, and the

218
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.159
<v Speaker 2>series is fucking amazing up until a point its creator.

219
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>On the other hand, we'll get there, and I suppose

220
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.559
<v Speaker 2>if abuse is not your cup of tea, then skip

221
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>the latter portion of this program. I'll give you a

222
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:22.399
<v Speaker 2>heads up. Here's how I came to Sandman. Like most

223
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.399
<v Speaker 2>things in life, they involve swamp Thing. Maybe that's just

224
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 2>my life. I've been a swamp Thing van since I

225
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>could read, which is basically the beginning of swamp Thing.

226
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.120
<v Speaker 2>You don't need to know much about doctor Alec Holland

227
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.399
<v Speaker 2>and the creature he becomes, but I need to mention

228
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>a guy in the comic named Matthew Cable. Cable was

229
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>a government operative assigned to protect Alec Holland. He failed

230
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.080
<v Speaker 2>and has been doing penance for swamp Thing ever since.

231
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.879
<v Speaker 2>In the early nineteen eighties, Matthew Cable crashes his car

232
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.519
<v Speaker 2>in a drunken stupor and ends up in a coma,

233
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.639
<v Speaker 2>and that's pretty much where the series left him until

234
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 2>about nineteen eighty nine, where there was this one off

235
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 2>or two off actually, where Cable wakes up and we

236
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 2>learn that he has spent the past five years in

237
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.840
<v Speaker 2>a place called the Dreaming, and then he kills himself

238
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.480
<v Speaker 2>and is resurrected in The Dreaming as a Raven. Turned

239
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.480
<v Speaker 2>out that The Dreaming was from another title at DC,

240
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:17.080
<v Speaker 2>and now one of the main characters was swamp Thing

241
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>had just fucked off over there and he's now a raven.

242
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.519
<v Speaker 2>I had to see this new title, and I did,

243
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and my fucking head cracked open with what I found,

244
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.679
<v Speaker 2>because in Sandman we were given an entirely new landscape

245
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>in comics, not just the world of dream and its

246
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.399
<v Speaker 2>exhaustive possibilities, not just a mixing and mingling of some

247
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 2>of the darker characters of the DC universe. Not only

248
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.879
<v Speaker 2>the weaving in and out of every fable and myth

249
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.039
<v Speaker 2>from every corner of the globe, but overall, a deeply

250
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:48.440
<v Speaker 2>felt love of storytelling itself. It's an important book. Like

251
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.399
<v Speaker 2>it or not, and maybe it's not for you. Once

252
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.919
<v Speaker 2>we get to the end of this program. Sandman does

253
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.879
<v Speaker 2>something I love about the comic industry. It builds and

254
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.720
<v Speaker 2>reshapes the past to fit the present, in this case

255
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.519
<v Speaker 2>a title from the literal old Age. He didn't make

256
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.200
<v Speaker 2>much of a splash, but the Sandman made his debut

257
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.519
<v Speaker 2>in Adventure comics in nineteen thirty nine. He had the

258
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 2>sickest outfit ever fedora business suit, gas mask, gas gun

259
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.519
<v Speaker 2>that he would use to knock out criminals. He got

260
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>resurrected in the seventies by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon,

261
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.639
<v Speaker 2>who gave him the worst outfit in comics history. Yellow tights,

262
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:27.159
<v Speaker 2>red boxer's red cape, this weirdo magneto helmet also read

263
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:31.440
<v Speaker 2>it was dumb. But their Sandman became a supernatural character

264
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.799
<v Speaker 2>guarding the sleeping from nightmares, in particular a kid named

265
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Jed Walker remember that name. So even though he had

266
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:42.759
<v Speaker 2>had a seventies revival, and an early eighties revival and

267
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.360
<v Speaker 2>a late eighties revival, there was a book on the

268
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 2>shelves called Sandman. When DC gave up. Until then yeoman

269
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:51.679
<v Speaker 2>comic writer Neil Gaiman the go ahead to give us

270
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.240
<v Speaker 2>a brand new Sandman. He did give us something new

271
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>but deeply rooted in the old, The Sandman. Here is Morpheus,

272
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.519
<v Speaker 2>the lord of dreaming and a member of the Endless

273
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Seven Siblings, who embody all of the finest life has

274
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:10.919
<v Speaker 2>to offer. Dream death, delirium, destiny, despair, desire, and destruction. Morpheus, Yes,

275
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:13.600
<v Speaker 2>this is my Morpheus. Thank you very much. You human

276
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:18.279
<v Speaker 2>battery pill swallowers. Marfius controls both dreams and nightmares, and

277
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>as I said, he's deeply tied to not only the

278
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.200
<v Speaker 2>earlier Sandman titles, but an entire host of other titles.

279
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:28.679
<v Speaker 2>Take Lucien Lucian is the librarian of the Dreaming Tending

280
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Dreams massive library inside his castle. That library contains every

281
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.440
<v Speaker 2>dream that ever was and every dream yet to be created.

282
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.240
<v Speaker 2>But I remember Lucian and his library a little differently.

283
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.080
<v Speaker 2>In the early nineteen eighties, I had tons and tons

284
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.759
<v Speaker 2>of horror comics from the nineteen seventies. When I say

285
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.840
<v Speaker 2>people did not value comics, here's what I mean. I

286
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.559
<v Speaker 2>could go to the five and dime Jesus, I sound old,

287
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.039
<v Speaker 2>but it literally was a Woolworth's and pick up a

288
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>plastic bag that was stuffed with a couple of dozen

289
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.600
<v Speaker 2>old comics for a quarter. This was not the method

290
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:04.119
<v Speaker 2>of a collector, nor is it ideal if you appreciate continuity.

291
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.799
<v Speaker 2>But I got lucky because whoever was filling those bags

292
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.920
<v Speaker 2>had a pension for keeping genres together. So that's how

293
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.519
<v Speaker 2>I got three issues, the only three, as it turned out,

294
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.759
<v Speaker 2>of Tales of Ghost Castle. I just thought it was

295
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.440
<v Speaker 2>called Ghost Castle that's all the logo said. It was

296
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 2>a horror anthology with Lucian as the host in a

297
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.240
<v Speaker 2>World War two eeric castle. So Gaman plucks my man

298
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Lucian from obscurity and plops him into the dreaming. Not

299
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.880
<v Speaker 2>just Lucian. As it turns out that castle in Transylvania

300
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.839
<v Speaker 2>abandoned by both Allied and Axis forces as being two

301
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:39.640
<v Speaker 2>supernaturally inhospitable, it's now Dreams Castle. Now, that kind of

302
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.880
<v Speaker 2>retrofitting is catnip, well not catnip, more like a sativa.

303
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.599
<v Speaker 2>It pumps you up and keeps you creatively crackling. Retrofitting

304
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.359
<v Speaker 2>like that is a sweet sativa for comic book nerds.

305
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it detracted one iota from anyone's enjoyment

306
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.359
<v Speaker 2>of Sandman that they didn't know where Lucian first came from,

307
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.720
<v Speaker 2>But it was another piece to keep me locked into

308
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>this beguiling there's no other word for it, new title.

309
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Let me give you another example of that cross pollination.

310
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.920
<v Speaker 2>After my flirtation with Marvel and ghost Rider, I was

311
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.000
<v Speaker 2>pretty much all horror all the time, with no allegiance

312
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.640
<v Speaker 2>to any comic book company. But I did spend an

313
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.960
<v Speaker 2>inordinate amount of time with DC. Given d c's general

314
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.160
<v Speaker 2>dower nature, you tended to have way more horror characters,

315
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 2>like the afore I mentioned swamp Thing. In fact, in

316
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:25.480
<v Speaker 2>the early eighties, Alan Moore retold swamp Thing's origin through

317
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:28.960
<v Speaker 2>his new elemental lens. Swamp Thing had appeared originally in

318
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.319
<v Speaker 2>House of Mystery, so Moore brought the two hosts of

319
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.319
<v Speaker 2>that title, Cain and Abel. Yeah, those ones and the house.

320
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.559
<v Speaker 2>The House of Mystery was founded in the fifties and

321
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:40.759
<v Speaker 2>it was a straight horror anthology to start, but by

322
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:44.119
<v Speaker 2>the seventies was deeply entwined with darker stories of all

323
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.640
<v Speaker 2>the DC's heroes. It wasn't uncommon for Martian Manhunter to

324
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 2>be found stalking the halls. Cana Enable not only housed

325
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.880
<v Speaker 2>House of Mystery, but they had a comedy comic in

326
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.559
<v Speaker 2>the seventies called PLoP exclamation Point. So it was cool

327
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.799
<v Speaker 2>to see one of those earlier stories reinterpreted with these characters.

328
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.480
<v Speaker 2>And I guess it was double cool that ultimately Dreams

329
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:06.319
<v Speaker 2>servants inside the Castle are the very same canaanable. But wait,

330
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.480
<v Speaker 2>there's more. How about the three Mother Maiden and Crone,

331
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.200
<v Speaker 2>or as they were known as hosts of another anthology

332
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:17.079
<v Speaker 2>comic of the Witching Hour, Mildred, Mordred and Cynthia. They

333
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:20.240
<v Speaker 2>are all over Sandman and by the end, everybody fucking

334
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:22.960
<v Speaker 2>shows up. I'm talking Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent. Can't

335
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.400
<v Speaker 2>get much bigger than them in DC. The first eight

336
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:28.160
<v Speaker 2>issues of Sandman are all place setting and are all

337
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:31.359
<v Speaker 2>more or less horror related, with Dream having been imprisoned

338
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:35.279
<v Speaker 2>for the twentieth century, re emerging and dealing with past business,

339
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:37.119
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the stuff we've been talking about, and

340
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.680
<v Speaker 2>finally settling back into his role as the head of

341
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.759
<v Speaker 2>the Dreaming. This collection is called Preludes and Nocturns, naturally,

342
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>but it's the Dollhouse, the next nine issue arc that

343
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:49.680
<v Speaker 2>really cemented not only who the character and the world

344
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.960
<v Speaker 2>it inhabits is, but made the title a classic. Gaiman

345
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.240
<v Speaker 2>continues drawing from the original Sandman series, pulling in seventy

346
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Sandman Frequent Award Jed Walker and making his sister Row

347
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 2>the center of the Dreaming and the overall arc of

348
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 2>the story. Not only that they make Jed the mental

349
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>prisoner of Glob and Brute the original Sandman's two sidekicks,

350
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:12.359
<v Speaker 2>but it's the original characters that made a much more

351
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:16.640
<v Speaker 2>indelible impression. Three fugitives from The Dreaming in our world,

352
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:20.000
<v Speaker 2>one of whom I'm not exaggerating I've thought of at

353
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.680
<v Speaker 2>least once a week for the past thirty five years.

354
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:27.759
<v Speaker 2>The Corinthian, a particularly virulent nightmare with snapping mouths for eyes.

355
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:31.519
<v Speaker 2>He's the inspiration for every serial killer who's ever lived,

356
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.839
<v Speaker 2>and is a fictional nightmare that gave me actual nightmares.

357
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:38.839
<v Speaker 2>The series was also wildly inclusive. A Gayman seemed a

358
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:41.400
<v Speaker 2>way ahead of the game, with characters of every race

359
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.359
<v Speaker 2>and gender and sexuality, not to mention of every time

360
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:47.240
<v Speaker 2>and every place on Earth. The stories wended their way

361
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.680
<v Speaker 2>through every culture, every mythology. All were welcome, and all

362
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 2>were worthy. In The Dreaming, they'd be a total of

363
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:56.519
<v Speaker 2>ten collections from eighty nine to ninety seven Tony Love

364
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.480
<v Speaker 2>When There's a Definite ending in comics so fucking rare,

365
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.799
<v Speaker 2>during which we'd come to know Morpheus's lost love Nada

366
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>and her internment in Hell. We'd follow dreams Younger completely

367
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:10.640
<v Speaker 2>oblivious sister Delirium in her questifining their lost brother destruction,

368
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and we'd be treated to a dozen or two standalone

369
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:17.519
<v Speaker 2>tales chronicling dream in every agent culture. It's an astounding

370
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.960
<v Speaker 2>and groundbreaking series. Ten collections could have been five. I realized.

371
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:23.880
<v Speaker 2>I say that about most things because I'm a big

372
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>fan of economy and storytelling, which is something I think

373
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 2>they figured out over at Netflix, at least in the

374
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:31.480
<v Speaker 2>case of showrunner Allan Heinberg. We'll get to game and

375
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:33.519
<v Speaker 2>I think his influences everywhere on the show, and I

376
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.519
<v Speaker 2>think he's important, but not as important as Heinberg shepherding

377
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:39.960
<v Speaker 2>the show and breaking it into its appropriate components. Because

378
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the series is a fucking long time coming, considering they've

379
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:46.799
<v Speaker 2>been talking about it since basically day one. In nineteen

380
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:50.480
<v Speaker 2>ninety one, two years after the series' debut ted, Elliott

381
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.519
<v Speaker 2>and Terry Rossio, those Pirates of the Caribbean guys, were

382
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.519
<v Speaker 2>hired to write a script. Everyone will tell you it's terrible.

383
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 2>It's not. It's just written so early in the Sandman's

384
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.480
<v Speaker 2>gestation that it's lacking the important continuity and context that

385
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.319
<v Speaker 2>would come. My favorite story about this time period is

386
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Roger Avery, who directed Rules of Attraction in Killing, So

387
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 2>he convinced Warners to keep that script in play and

388
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:15.880
<v Speaker 2>let him direct it. Total insanity and then for his pitch,

389
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:19.599
<v Speaker 2>he showed them Jan Sponckmeyer's film Alice and told him

390
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.200
<v Speaker 2>that's what the Dream Sequences will look like. And then

391
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.640
<v Speaker 2>it was put in Turnaround and there was no movement

392
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.279
<v Speaker 2>for years and years, which is for the best, because

393
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:30.920
<v Speaker 2>John Peters, I've been in five hundred fights was attached

394
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:32.839
<v Speaker 2>to produce, and apparently the guy who didn't want to

395
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:36.079
<v Speaker 2>see Superman flying kept pushing Sandman to appear at a

396
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:39.599
<v Speaker 2>rave and duking it out with villains. In the early odds,

397
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:41.920
<v Speaker 2>there was a pretty good script by Jack Thorn which

398
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:44.359
<v Speaker 2>was going to be directed by Joseph Gordon Levitt, and

399
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:46.440
<v Speaker 2>he was going to star in the film, although he

400
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:49.200
<v Speaker 2>was never going to play Morpheus, although he'd be pretty good.

401
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:51.960
<v Speaker 2>He does have an imperious side no, being a very

402
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.559
<v Speaker 2>smart actor. He was going to play the Corinthian and

403
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I could see him doing very well in that role.

404
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:00.680
<v Speaker 2>That film fell apart because who cares. Finally, three years ago,

405
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.680
<v Speaker 2>three oh my god, twenty twenty two, that's when we

406
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:05.680
<v Speaker 2>got the first season of Sandman.

407
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:11.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm the King of Dreams.

408
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 1>Ulder of the Nightmare.

409
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:22.400
<v Speaker 2>M What are you doing here, Ettie? He's coming in here?

410
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:29.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, lpheus dere near Emoza, you know the Sandway.

411
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:31.480
<v Speaker 3>He's a very story ette.

412
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.440
<v Speaker 4>He's no fairy story He's back good tonight.

413
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:41.160
<v Speaker 2>What the name of times I really have?

414
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Now? Forgive me?

415
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:57.519
<v Speaker 4>Sighed the palace them they are not as you left them,

416
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 4>but you gone. The realm began to decay, and.

417
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.000
<v Speaker 3>The dreams of no longer seemed to recognize the monster

418
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.039
<v Speaker 3>world of mind.

419
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Tim he's free, he's Adam's cage.

420
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.839
<v Speaker 2>The font is correct. Little things matter, nerds, you know it.

421
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Tom Sturage, who made a terrific Lord Byron in a

422
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.759
<v Speaker 2>film called Mary Shelley from twenty seventeen, that only I've

423
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:44.039
<v Speaker 2>seen stars as Morpheus, Lord of dream the Sandman.

424
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:44.680
<v Speaker 1>You know.

425
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.000
<v Speaker 2>In the mid nineties, I was pals with an actress

426
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:48.759
<v Speaker 2>who invited me to the set of The water Boy,

427
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:50.920
<v Speaker 2>where I watched her get arrested on screen for a

428
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:54.079
<v Speaker 2>couple of days, and everyone there called Adam Sandler's Sandman

429
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:56.200
<v Speaker 2>at some point or another. And I wonder now, as

430
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I wondered, then am I the only one who thinks

431
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:00.599
<v Speaker 2>about the dreaming and the Corinthian Every time they hear that,

432
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.599
<v Speaker 2>did Sandler at the very least did they think about

433
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Michael Myers and Halloween. These are Sandman references, y'all. Tom

434
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Sturage is excellent. The only way to top it would

435
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 2>be to cast Peter Murphy straight out of the opening

436
00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:16.960
<v Speaker 2>of The Hunger. Bella Lagosi is dead straight to camera.

437
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:19.720
<v Speaker 2>We've all come to that scene. You know, you have

438
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Tom Sturage, that imperiousness that I mentioned president in Joseph

439
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Gordon Levitt. It absolutely lives in Sturage's angular frame. Maybe

440
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:30.039
<v Speaker 2>it's an English thing, it certainly comes off the page.

441
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:32.279
<v Speaker 2>So it's nice to have it represented here. And I

442
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:35.240
<v Speaker 2>think that's what's most impressive about the series as a whole.

443
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:38.720
<v Speaker 2>It's all the little touches getting their due. As I said,

444
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:40.720
<v Speaker 2>the charm of the book, at least to an astute

445
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:43.839
<v Speaker 2>comic fan, was the cobbling together of comic lore, just

446
00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:47.000
<v Speaker 2>as the comic itself was cobbling worldwide myth and legend.

447
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.319
<v Speaker 2>It felt comforting that the host of the House of

448
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Mystery comic was given the same heft as Hades or Lucifer.

449
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:55.759
<v Speaker 2>There was a bunch of the usual bitching about gender

450
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:58.240
<v Speaker 2>and or race when it came to casting this series.

451
00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:02.000
<v Speaker 2>They cast a non binary trends human as desire. No,

452
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.160
<v Speaker 2>not the most androgynous character since Ziggy starred us. Don't

453
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:08.559
<v Speaker 2>give us that. It's too in line with the spirit

454
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:09.599
<v Speaker 2>of the original books.

455
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Ah.

456
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Even better, Kirby Hawl Baptiste was cast as the fucking

457
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.920
<v Speaker 2>pivotal role of Death. She is Dream's closest sibling, the

458
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:21.039
<v Speaker 2>only one who actually understands him. But that's because she

459
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:25.480
<v Speaker 2>understands everyone. If Gamon did one thing right, it's give

460
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:28.960
<v Speaker 2>us the personification of Death that we deserve, a gentle,

461
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:31.839
<v Speaker 2>understanding friend to greet you at the end of your life.

462
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:34.440
<v Speaker 2>It was a fascinating take on the character, free from

463
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:37.279
<v Speaker 2>all the trappings of the crypt and spared the usual

464
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 2>serrements of the grave as clothing. Look, it didn't hurt

465
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:42.480
<v Speaker 2>that she's Susie Sue. I know that she's actually based

466
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:44.720
<v Speaker 2>on a model named Cinnamon. Would come on no matter

467
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 2>the inspiration. You've all seen Death from the comics. She

468
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:50.079
<v Speaker 2>was fucking unavoidable. In the nineties with her unc and

469
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>her eyeliner. Every comic book shop had the High Cost

470
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:56.200
<v Speaker 2>of Living poster up. So yeah, for me, that's visually

471
00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:58.359
<v Speaker 2>how I want the Grim Reaper looking. But it was

472
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:03.440
<v Speaker 2>the character friendly. That's what I was really responding to.

473
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.039
<v Speaker 2>And if you don't see that in Kirby HALLI Baptiste

474
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 2>and guess what, you're a fucking racist because she is

475
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.240
<v Speaker 2>that character, a character that makes me weep openly, and

476
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm also attracted to, which is weird. Overall, the cast

477
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.400
<v Speaker 2>is superb. The ones that really grab me are Gwendolen

478
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Christi as Lucifer morning Star, fucking perfect. I mentioned Park

479
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.240
<v Speaker 2>as desire sexy, scary, love it, Freddie Fox as Loki.

480
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 2>This is actual asgard Loki, not Marvel trickster Loki. He's

481
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:34.920
<v Speaker 2>excellent with Billie Idle Vibes, Vivian A Champong as Lucienne.

482
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:37.119
<v Speaker 2>I hope I pronounced that right now. Okay, there's one

483
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:40.160
<v Speaker 2>lucy Anne that's a gender swamp and a race swamp.

484
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:42.279
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you something. If you're bitching about the

485
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:44.680
<v Speaker 2>changes to that character and you met Lucian in the

486
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:48.799
<v Speaker 2>pages of Sandman, your opinion is invalidated by mine because

487
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I met Lucian when he was the host of Tales

488
00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:53.279
<v Speaker 2>of Ghost Castle. And I'm cool with every swamp in

489
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Switcheroo here because Lucienne is that fucking character. Can we

490
00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 2>just take the Internet away from the fucking racist or

491
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.039
<v Speaker 2>is that more fascist thinking. The best casting though, is

492
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.160
<v Speaker 2>the Corinthian Boyd Holbrook. You know him, but you don't.

493
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:09.799
<v Speaker 2>You should, though. I first saw him in an independent

494
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:13.359
<v Speaker 2>flick from twenty fourteen called The Skeleton Twins that stars

495
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Bill Hayter and Kristin Wig. Oh. That must be hilarious.

496
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:19.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not. Do not watch it for comedy. It is

497
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.440
<v Speaker 2>not a comedy. It's a great fucking movie and I

498
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:24.920
<v Speaker 2>think about it a lot, honestly, and if you haven't

499
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:27.720
<v Speaker 2>seen it, you really should. Anyone surprised at how thoughtful

500
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:29.759
<v Speaker 2>an actor Bill Hater turned out to be in Barry

501
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.119
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have been had you seen this movie. Incidentally, they

502
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:35.960
<v Speaker 2>did a read through of that Corman biopic that Jotante

503
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:37.759
<v Speaker 2>has been trying to get off the ground, and Bill

504
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Hayter read for Corman, and I just really want that

505
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:43.319
<v Speaker 2>movie to happen with Bill Hayter and not Quentin Tarantino,

506
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:45.759
<v Speaker 2>who's been clamoring for that part. Do not hire that

507
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.799
<v Speaker 2>man as an actor ever again. Hire Bill Hayter, star

508
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.359
<v Speaker 2>of Skeleton Twins, or Boyd Holbrook minor co star of

509
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:55.799
<v Speaker 2>Skeleton Twins Bond full on star of the Predator a movie,

510
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:58.079
<v Speaker 2>HP and I will be covering and our upcoming you

511
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:00.839
<v Speaker 2>guessed it, Predator Fest. If you can think of a

512
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:02.799
<v Speaker 2>better title than that, please let me know. Hit me up,

513
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.240
<v Speaker 2>FATHERM Malone seven one at gmail dot com. Anyway, Boyd

514
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Holbrook was mad Mickelson's right hand and the latest Indiana

515
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Jones flick. He was the villain in the logan You

516
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:13.359
<v Speaker 2>nerds love that one. I've never seen Narcos, but I

517
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:15.720
<v Speaker 2>guess he was in that too. He's great and he's

518
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.839
<v Speaker 2>perfect as the Corinthian that I mentioned that. He delivers

519
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.960
<v Speaker 2>such a swab and sexy scary performance, absolutely worthy of

520
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:25.759
<v Speaker 2>the character from the book. And they've expanded his role,

521
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:28.480
<v Speaker 2>making him the overall villain of the first season, which

522
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:31.559
<v Speaker 2>is wise, the more Corinthian, the better. I don't think

523
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:33.799
<v Speaker 2>they featured his freaky mouth eyes quite enough. I was

524
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.440
<v Speaker 2>hoping to be totally weirded out. Instead, for that feeling,

525
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:40.599
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have to wait for season two. Enter Azazl.

526
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 2>He's a demon lord, the demon lord, honestly, and he

527
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:46.960
<v Speaker 2>can transform into what can best be described as a

528
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:51.440
<v Speaker 2>sometimes boiling dark cloud, sometimes fleshy, awful thing with no

529
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.640
<v Speaker 2>eyes but floating multiple mouths, and by mouths, I just

530
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:57.880
<v Speaker 2>mean the teeth of many mouths that speak singly and

531
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:02.519
<v Speaker 2>sometimes together. It is cosmic terrestrial simultaneously, and it is

532
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:06.240
<v Speaker 2>altogether horrifying. It's everything in the moving image that the

533
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Corinthian was on the page. Speaking of second and final seasons,

534
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:12.240
<v Speaker 2>the first half of it dropped a couple of weeks ago,

535
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:16.400
<v Speaker 2>and the entire series concludes this Thursday. That's July twenty fourth,

536
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:18.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five. If you're listening in the future and

537
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.160
<v Speaker 2>love dates, we'll call you Julian. This review of the

538
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.279
<v Speaker 2>show in its entirety is being made without any knowledge

539
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:28.440
<v Speaker 2>of the five final episodes of the series, nor have

540
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I seen the adaptation of that sidebook Death The High

541
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Cost of Living that'll be out the week following the finale.

542
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:35.960
<v Speaker 2>So you might be listening in the future and already know,

543
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:39.119
<v Speaker 2>but I'm assuming those final few will be satisfying. The

544
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:43.720
<v Speaker 2>series overall has been weaving in standalone episodes in organic ways,

545
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>dispensing with the useless, and giving us two fucking full

546
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:50.400
<v Speaker 2>seasons of essentially the entire run of the Sandman comic.

547
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:53.079
<v Speaker 2>It really feels like a kill your darlings. Let's boil

548
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:55.119
<v Speaker 2>the fucker down to its essentials and put out the

549
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:58.680
<v Speaker 2>best possible work situation, which doesn't mean they couldn't revisit it.

550
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:01.119
<v Speaker 2>My god, it's the dreaming, and there are other stories

551
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:04.200
<v Speaker 2>featuring these characters that would be fun to explore cinematically.

552
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Speaker 2>But if I'm being honest, the story is told, and

553
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:10.200
<v Speaker 2>other than a total ground floor page one reboot with

554
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:13.079
<v Speaker 2>entirely new players, I think this is the only version

555
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.799
<v Speaker 2>we'll be getting for some time, and I'm good with that.

556
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:18.759
<v Speaker 2>The fixation on IP but what's left of the studios

557
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:20.880
<v Speaker 2>has kind of convinced us all that we should prepare

558
00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:24.359
<v Speaker 2>ourselves for multiple iterations of properties as soon as interest

559
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:26.599
<v Speaker 2>in the last has faded. Whereas we used to be

560
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:29.839
<v Speaker 2>able to marinate in a story or a character or whatever,

561
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.880
<v Speaker 2>nowadays it's so fucking relentless that I'm glad there'll be

562
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.759
<v Speaker 2>some air between this iteration and the next. It's the

563
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:37.960
<v Speaker 2>reason that we won't be getting one for some time

564
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.319
<v Speaker 2>that's so fucking troubling, the very same reason that's been

565
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:44.480
<v Speaker 2>putting my separate the art from the artist muscle into

566
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.039
<v Speaker 2>convulsions for the past year or so. You, motherfucker. You

567
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:50.480
<v Speaker 2>were supposed to be the best of us. You were

568
00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:53.119
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be a gentle voice of reason. I'm talking

569
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.799
<v Speaker 2>to Neil gaimandirectly. You were supposed to live on a

570
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.440
<v Speaker 2>higher plane of consciousness and inspire us up there with you.

571
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.440
<v Speaker 2>If you're triggered by abuse, this is the time to go.

572
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Enjoy the rest of your week. I'll talk to you

573
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:09.359
<v Speaker 2>on Friday. During the golden age of Sandman, when he

574
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 2>was at every comic con I attended and holding late

575
00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:14.400
<v Speaker 2>night readings for his superfans, he never mentioned he was

576
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.920
<v Speaker 2>a scientologist. He's disavowed membership since about two thousand and

577
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:19.839
<v Speaker 2>three in a court case, but he was working with

578
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.519
<v Speaker 2>them up until nineteen ninety nine. On one hand, I

579
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:24.319
<v Speaker 2>guess it's cool to grow up in a religion based

580
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:26.400
<v Speaker 2>on the writings of a terrible author and then you

581
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:28.359
<v Speaker 2>go on to be a pretty great author. I dig that.

582
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Who wouldn't. But Gaman recruited people to send authors brand new,

583
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:36.319
<v Speaker 2>totally above board religion. Gaiman was a high ranking auditor

584
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.759
<v Speaker 2>for years right after college. That's because his dad was

585
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:43.359
<v Speaker 2>basically Scientology Royalty in the UK. His dad, who went

586
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:46.599
<v Speaker 2>on a bunch of public hunger strikes for scientologist rights

587
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:49.480
<v Speaker 2>in the early seventies and was then labeled a suppressive

588
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.839
<v Speaker 2>person in nineteen eighty three, Incent Packing. That was when

589
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Neil was auditing. They kicked out his dad, and then

590
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Neil Gaiman married a fellow scientologist and kept affiliation with

591
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:02.119
<v Speaker 2>them for two decades and now kind of pretends that

592
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:05.279
<v Speaker 2>that didn't happen. Now, the scientology thing, I'd like to

593
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.440
<v Speaker 2>firmly state has no bearing on his behavior moving forward,

594
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:12.480
<v Speaker 2>the same behavior that means we're getting no more Sandman

595
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:15.519
<v Speaker 2>and probably no more good Omens or American gods for

596
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:19.359
<v Speaker 2>the foreseeable future. Those actions are Gamans alone, and his

597
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:22.079
<v Speaker 2>motivations are the same. And what sucks about the whole

598
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:25.240
<v Speaker 2>thing is it's too easy, because of the public's inexperience

599
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 2>with the chosen lifestyle, for Gaman to hide what a

600
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:30.279
<v Speaker 2>cocksucker he really is. By the way, I'm not going

601
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:32.559
<v Speaker 2>to go into the full details here, this is not

602
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:35.480
<v Speaker 2>the show for that. For more information, go listen to

603
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:39.559
<v Speaker 2>what I listen to, a podcast called Master the allegations

604
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:43.240
<v Speaker 2>against Neil Gaiman The man is a wash in accusations

605
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:46.519
<v Speaker 2>of unwonted touching and groping and the usual dirty old

606
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.319
<v Speaker 2>man creepiness, But the bulk of the podcast deals with

607
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.160
<v Speaker 2>a very recent case with his child's nanny and their

608
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.359
<v Speaker 2>completely fucked up relationship. That one is made particularly murky

609
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:58.400
<v Speaker 2>by the constant exchanges by the two involved, all documented

610
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:00.960
<v Speaker 2>to the letter by the show. As Murphy are his

611
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:03.920
<v Speaker 2>dealings with a tenant on his property he straight up

612
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:07.359
<v Speaker 2>demanded sexuals favors from for their continued tendency. What a

613
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.440
<v Speaker 2>fucking shit show of a human and how utterly disappointing,

614
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 2>given how fucking pedestrian it all is. Groping fans on

615
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:17.360
<v Speaker 2>book tours. I guess Tori Amos won't be mentioning you

616
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and liner notes anytime soon. And I say hiding behind

617
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:23.960
<v Speaker 2>a community because he seems fixated on one repeated act

618
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.079
<v Speaker 2>over and over. It involves punishment, and it uses some

619
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:30.920
<v Speaker 2>dom sub language, but it seems so fucking pathological that

620
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:32.920
<v Speaker 2>it's really a disservice to call it part of the

621
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:37.639
<v Speaker 2>BDSM scene. Fuck him. I'm fully separating art from artists here.

622
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:41.119
<v Speaker 2>I learned from the Sandman, and I cherish those lessons

623
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:43.320
<v Speaker 2>and I think those books are still valuable. And this

624
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:46.599
<v Speaker 2>series is two I hope it inspires, and in time,

625
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:49.719
<v Speaker 2>like all those American gods, like all those fallen heroes,

626
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.239
<v Speaker 2>we'll just forget about Neil and all that will be

627
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:55.039
<v Speaker 2>left is the Corinthian where that was a long one.

628
00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to bed. I apologize for the frequency of

629
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.360
<v Speaker 2>the show recently. All it's a lot. I know I

630
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:03.679
<v Speaker 2>probably protest too much and I should probably just go

631
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:06.440
<v Speaker 2>back to once a week, but I remain committed to

632
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:09.880
<v Speaker 2>two shows. I like it, just maybe not the round

633
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:13.000
<v Speaker 2>up every week. To that end, we are currently doing

634
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Fusco Fest and Predator Fest is on the horizon, but

635
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:19.719
<v Speaker 2>future fests are on the table. I think horror is

636
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:21.920
<v Speaker 2>the direction we should be heading in, So send me

637
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:25.559
<v Speaker 2>your ideas. Just don't send me an idea like do

638
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:28.800
<v Speaker 2>the Friday the thirteenth movies. Do not condemn me that way.

639
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Think of a cool topic and we'll fucking go with it,

640
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and we'll probably have you on to talk. Yes, I

641
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:38.800
<v Speaker 2>am that tired Ripley Jean. She says goodbye. I'm saying goodbye.

642
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Check us out on Friday. We've got HP returning to talk.

643
00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic four. That's Roger Corman's fantastic for you think people

644
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:48.840
<v Speaker 2>are sending us screeners. Oh no, no, no, no, no no,

645
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:51.880
<v Speaker 2>But seriously, somebody should hook a fake priest up. I'll

646
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:54.480
<v Speaker 2>do thirty minutes on your new movie. I'll even lie

647
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and say it's good.

648
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Nah.

649
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:57.519
<v Speaker 2>If it sucks, i'll be fair, but i'll be honest.

650
00:35:57.639 --> 00:35:57.760
