Speaker 2: Mark Ronner, k if I am six forty, We're live
Speaker 2: everywhere in the Iheartradiot. Now we have the Runner Report
Speaker 2: with the Mark Ronner.
Speaker 3: When I first saw the trailer for The Bondsman on
Speaker 3: Amazon Prime, I thought that's my kind of show. Dead
Speaker 3: guy brought back to life to hunt down escape demons.
Speaker 3: Kevin Bacon stars with sort of a towny trash accent.
Speaker 3: Here's the trailer.
Speaker 4: Did you die.
Speaker 1: Mail Force? Come out with your hands?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think maybe I did. Mister Hallarin some here
Speaker 5: about your new job orientation.
Speaker 6: She knows things hub about how you died and.
Speaker 7: Went to hell.
Speaker 8: You're only standing here now because we brought you.
Speaker 1: Back, which is just plain silly.
Speaker 8: Do you think it's silly? Mister Hallerin What's job lady?
Speaker 8: You're still a bounty hunter, but now you hunt demutes
Speaker 8: for the devil?
Speaker 1: What two three four?
Speaker 2: Imagine?
Speaker 5: How is a prison? And sometimes inmates bust out? This
Speaker 5: time one of them busted out here and more? Am
Speaker 5: I becoming the born Ones? And found him sent back.
Speaker 7: What do you mean send him back? Just put one
Speaker 7: and bring.
Speaker 8: You'll see hopefully for all of us.
Speaker 7: I need to tell you something about your pastor.
Speaker 6: Well, maybe it's not just about killing demons.
Speaker 1: Look, you can get your family back together.
Speaker 7: You're stuck in a so called job for how long
Speaker 7: your hell runs out of demon seems like you need
Speaker 7: to see this, there's a pattern.
Speaker 2: Then call the hotline a.
Speaker 7: One nine hundred number charge in ten bucks a minute.
Speaker 5: What do you expect? It's hell. If you fail to
Speaker 5: process any demons assigned to.
Speaker 6: You, step on it or skipping school.
Speaker 7: You will be terminated, will have through. So did you
Speaker 7: take our son along for a demon fight yesterday? I'm
Speaker 7: just trying to do something nice here.
Speaker 3: I think I got all the dirty stuff leaped out
Speaker 3: of that. The demons have glowing eyes, which is good
Speaker 3: for identification purposes. There's some gore in the bondsman. Uh yeah,
Speaker 3: my kind of show. All right, dead guy brought back
Speaker 3: to life to hunt down escape demons. I knew it
Speaker 3: was my kind of show because I really liked it
Speaker 3: the first time I saw it in the late nineties,
Speaker 3: and it was called Brimstone. Remember that here just take
Speaker 3: a listen to this Samanity confessional.
Speaker 4: It's been a long time since my last confession. I
Speaker 4: was a cop, I was good at my job. I
Speaker 4: was married, I had a good life, and my wife
Speaker 4: was raped.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: I caught the guy who did it, but he got off.
Speaker 4: I tracked him down and I killed him, killed him,
Speaker 4: killed him.
Speaker 6: This was a terrible, terrible, singing myself.
Speaker 4: Two months later, I I cornered this petty thief who
Speaker 4: had a gun. He opened upon me. I took five
Speaker 4: bullets to the face and neck and died. And because
Speaker 4: I had killed him in cold blood, I went to Hell. Okay,
Speaker 4: and their father. Now that's funny, But even the most
Speaker 4: maximum secure penitentries from time to time and may as
Speaker 4: well escape and happen on Devil's Island. Happened at Alcatras
Speaker 4: six weeks ago, it happened in Hell. One hundred and
Speaker 4: thirteen of the most vile creatures who ever walked the
Speaker 4: earth escaped. And now they're backing.
Speaker 6: Prince of Lies the most of Hell. Surely, having his
Speaker 6: subject spent on earth spreading chaos and destruction, well this
Speaker 6: would bring a smile to his face.
Speaker 4: I don't know farther. You, of all people, know that
Speaker 4: even the devil has to answer to higher power. They
Speaker 4: screwed up and now I need someone to fix things.
Speaker 4: Cracked down those creatures and send them back to health.
Speaker 3: Okay, you get the idea, and I like that confessional
Speaker 3: exposition there.
Speaker 8: Hmm.
Speaker 3: Awfully similar started that blonde guy from the thirty something show.
Speaker 3: His name was Peter Horton. He's still with us, but
Speaker 3: he was a cop, not a bail bondsman, so totally different, right.
Speaker 3: That show only ran thirteen episodes on Fox. I don't
Speaker 3: think it's ever been on video. I got some episodes
Speaker 3: on vhs in storage someplace, because of course I do.
Speaker 3: I checked a couple Torrent sites and I think you
Speaker 3: can find it if you're a filthy scofflaw. Brimstone was
Speaker 3: about a copy raised from the dead and held the
Speaker 3: hunt on Escape Demons, played things straight, had atmosphere to
Speaker 3: spare compared to the Plopsman, and John Glover was pretty
Speaker 3: fun as the devil in that show. It was a
Speaker 3: good companion show to other ones on Fox at the time,
Speaker 3: like Millennium and of course X Files. If I'm remembering
Speaker 3: it right. Each time the guy smoked one of the
Speaker 3: demons he was hunting. One of his hell tattoos disappeared.
Speaker 3: Why am I talking so much about a show from
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety eight and not the new one on Amazon Prime. Well,
Speaker 3: it's better. The Bondsman is a horror action comedy. Before
Speaker 3: I saw it, I wish they'd played it straight, and
Speaker 3: that didn't change after I watched it. Vivan Bacon's character, Hubb,
Speaker 3: is divorced. Who is Hub? What kind of a name
Speaker 3: is Hub? I just about swore there. He's divorced from
Speaker 3: a singer. They got a teenage son, so there's some
Speaker 3: irritating perfunctory scenes in dialogue right there. The singer has
Speaker 3: a sleazy boyfriend, and the Bondsman is close with his mom. Bacon,
Speaker 3: by the way, sixty six years old, which makes him
Speaker 3: only nine years younger than the woman playing his mother.
Speaker 3: Nothing against him. Actors got to pay for the pool upkeep.
Speaker 3: Show's watchable, But about the best thing I can say
Speaker 3: about the eight episodes is that they're short, all about
Speaker 3: a half hour, give or take. The show is created
Speaker 3: by someone named Granger David. It's his first thing of
Speaker 3: any note. I can't say if he ripped off the
Speaker 3: older show, or ever saw it, or didn't even do
Speaker 3: a Google search or what. I had a story solen
Speaker 3: from me once and turned into a show. I can't
Speaker 3: tell you the name of it, but when I looked
Speaker 3: it up, I saw that the credited writer didn't have
Speaker 3: any other major previous credits either. I'm not going to
Speaker 3: accuse the Bondsman writer of theft, because that's serious and
Speaker 3: I don't want to go to court. I can't accuse
Speaker 3: him of being really unoriginal, though, whether something's ripped off
Speaker 3: or just an unoriginal idea done worse than the original,
Speaker 3: I still take that as an insult from the creators.
Speaker 3: They think we're that dumb. In fact, I tried to
Speaker 3: track down the creators of Brimstone. Their name is Ethan
Speaker 3: Rife and Cyrus Boris. They also wrote Kung Fu Panda.
Speaker 3: Believe it or not. I tried getting a hold of them.
Speaker 3: They don't have any social media presence. I got somebody
Speaker 3: I know to get me their agent's information from IMDb.
Speaker 3: PRO didn't get an answer from him yet, So we're
Speaker 3: just going to go with what we have here. Now
Speaker 3: that I'm thinking about this, I wrote a zombie comic
Speaker 3: background twenty nine and ten called rotten. And a few
Speaker 3: months ago I saw a Facebook post or ad or
Speaker 3: something from someone who also had a zombie property called rotten,
Speaker 3: and I put in the comments. Dude, at least do
Speaker 3: a Google search on your title before you publish something.
Speaker 3: No reply. And that's the story on this. It's it's
Speaker 3: the kindest show that will only make you want to
Speaker 3: watch the original because it's much better.
Speaker 2: K if I Am six forty. We're Live Everywhere the

Speaker 2: classic for the vow Kilmer Now back to Mark Robert
Speaker 2: for part two real quick.
Speaker 3: Along with the economy, some pretty notable people died this week,
Speaker 3: and they're never coming back either. For starters one, you
Speaker 3: might not know the name of Robert McGinnis, a magnificent
Speaker 3: artist of some of the best James Bond movie posters.
Speaker 3: I think he was ninety nine years old. I finally
Speaker 3: had gotten my hands on a Belgian one for that
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty seven Casino Royale comedy Bond movie, just learned
Speaker 3: by the way that Fleming pronounced it Casino Royal, and
Speaker 3: I still love the art for that. Look up Robert
Speaker 3: McGinnis and you may realize he was the artist of
Speaker 3: some of your favorite movie images or book book covers.
Speaker 3: We lost Richard Chamberlain. I was watching the first of
Speaker 3: his two Indiana Jones rip off movies on twob this
Speaker 3: weekend when I saw he died. This happens to me
Speaker 3: a lot. Not sure if I'm the cause or it's
Speaker 3: just a function of the fact that I like so
Speaker 3: much old stuff. He was famous for Doctor Kildare, which
Speaker 3: was before my time, but after that he became the
Speaker 3: king of the TV mini series Showgun, Born, Identity, Thorn Birds,
Speaker 3: Richard Norton, a legendary martial artist and actor and coreyah
Speaker 3: from Australia in some classics with some of the greats.
Speaker 3: Loved him acting and Force five with Joe Lewis and
Speaker 3: Benny the Jet or quetas. He had such a long
Speaker 3: and impressive career that he was in the last two
Speaker 3: Mad Max movies and courted that coordinated their stunts. I
Speaker 3: had been seeing posts of his with Cynthia Rothrock on Facebook.
Speaker 3: His catchphrase was is it painful? After he just kicked
Speaker 3: the crap out of somebody? And Val Kilmer, who we're
Speaker 3: going to get into in the next hour. The director
Speaker 3: John Frankenheimer, when I was interviewing him for his Not
Speaker 3: That Great a Reindeer Games movie, told me, which you
Speaker 3: don't usually hear from people in show business, he'd never
Speaker 3: worked with Kilmer again, but that's the tradeoff sometimes instability
Speaker 3: and difficulty for just insane talent, and Kilmer was terrific.
Speaker 3: Some of my favorites of his that are not Heat
Speaker 3: or Tombstone, which you know, real well, real genius. I
Speaker 3: don't even know how many times I've seen it. That
Speaker 3: was one of his first big movies. Hilarious still Wonderland
Speaker 3: from two thousand and three, where he plays John C. Holmes.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm going to say about it. Spartan from
Speaker 3: two thousand and four, a David Mammot movie. Val Kilmer
Speaker 3: plus David Mammot is a really cool combination. Thunderheart from
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety two, Kilmer plays an FBI agent with some
Speaker 3: Native American heritage investigating a crime among Native Americans. And Kiss, Kiss,
Speaker 3: Bang Bang from two thousand and five. I think that's
Speaker 3: his last great one, and it came he co starred
Speaker 3: with Robert Downey Junior, and that came before Downy's big
Speaker 3: resurrection with Iron Man. All those are terrific movies. If
Speaker 3: you haven't seen them, put them on your list, track
Speaker 3: them down. Kf I AM six forty We are live
