Speaker 1: KM I am sixty. You're listening to Later with Moe
Speaker 1: Kelly on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: MO and Tuala are off tonight and Monday, Mark Ronner
Speaker 2: sitting in with Tiffany Hobbes and Twala by the way,
Speaker 2: are They're on a cruise, which Tuala. It's a little
Speaker 2: bit of a stretch. I understand for Tuala because like me,
Speaker 2: he is deathly terrified of deep water. So I was
Speaker 2: hoping that we would hear from Mo tonight. I was
Speaker 2: hoping that we would get some maybe footage of Tuala
Speaker 2: vomiting over the side of the boat. But in lieu
Speaker 2: of that, let's just keep moving here. Moe makes interviews
Speaker 2: a regular feature of the show, so tonight I'm doing
Speaker 2: one and sue me if I'm a little more nostalgic
Speaker 2: driven than Mo. But, like he says, host privilege, Tonight,
Speaker 2: I want to welcome the legendary Bert Ward, who you
Speaker 2: know is Robin from the nineteen sixty six Batman series
Speaker 2: that did nothing short of change all pop culture around
Speaker 2: the world and his grown up civilian identity. Bert is
Speaker 2: a hero to dogs. He runs General Giant Dogfood. Here
Speaker 2: is his official introduction. I'm going to read this, then
Speaker 2: we're going to get right to the conversation. Bert Ward,
Speaker 2: the original Robin from the Batman TV series, and his
Speaker 2: wife Tracy have rescued more than fifteen thousand, five hundred
Speaker 2: dogs and hundreds of cats in the last thirty years,
Speaker 2: and they created Gentle Giants Natural non GMO Ingredients pet
Speaker 2: food to help all precious pets live longer and healthier.
Speaker 2: Dogs eating Gentle Giants Natural non GMO Ingredients, Dog and
Speaker 2: Puppy food and following General Giants Special Feeding and Care
Speaker 2: program are living as long as thirty healthy, active years
Speaker 2: with a wonderful quality of life. They have also created
Speaker 2: Gental Giants Natural non GMO Ingredients, Cat and kitten food
Speaker 2: help cats live long, healthy, active lives too. Learn more
Speaker 2: at Gentlegiantsdogfood dot com and General Giants Pet Products dot com. Bert,
Speaker 2: it means the world to me that you are here tonight.
Speaker 2: Hello with citizens, honest with you. I'm a little emotional
Speaker 2: right now. I can't tell you how much it means
Speaker 2: to get to talk to you. I still have a
Speaker 2: photo that you signed for me when I was like
Speaker 2: seven years old at a kmart in Spokane, Washington, and
Speaker 2: I boggles my mind. How many of these things you
Speaker 2: must have done over the last half centuries, signings, conventions.
Speaker 2: Do you still do a lot of that stuff?
Speaker 3: Well, I did over seven thousand personal appearances and signed
Speaker 3: more than eight and a half million autographs, So that's
Speaker 3: a lot of autography.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't even conceive of that. So
Speaker 2: they've got to have run the range from like I
Speaker 2: remember when I met you as a child, it was
Speaker 2: a winter and kind kind of a cricket situation. I
Speaker 2: think it was the only one there. But at the
Speaker 2: same time, you guys were like Beatles in the sixties.
Speaker 2: It had you have had to have situations where it's
Speaker 2: like Tom Jones panty throwing deals.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, I wouldn't go that far, but I would
Speaker 3: say that we had an enormous audience on Batman. When
Speaker 3: we aired on January twelfth, nineteen sixty six, there were
Speaker 3: more than four hundred million people that first week. In
Speaker 3: subsequent weeks that watch Batman, we had a fifty five share,
Speaker 3: meaning that of all the televisions on in North America
Speaker 3: that's Mexico, the US, and Canada, that's fifty five percent
Speaker 3: were watching Batman.
Speaker 2: That's incomprehensible. Now, most people don't understand that that doesn't
Speaker 2: exist in today's fragmented TV environment. Nobody has gotten a
Speaker 2: fifty five share in most people's lifetimes at this point.
Speaker 3: You're right, and not only that, but even the Super
Speaker 3: Bowl doesn't get that kind of a share. So, and
Speaker 3: you know, the whole Batman thing, it was such a
Speaker 3: wonderful show. There was something for everybody. For kids, it
Speaker 3: was the hero worship. I mean, who wouldn't want to
Speaker 3: be writing in the batmobile, chasing Tenus Villain's climbing walls, right,
Speaker 3: who wouldn't want to do that? And yet for the
Speaker 3: adults it was nostalgia of the comic book. And for
Speaker 3: the teenagers and the college kids, that was a period
Speaker 3: in the sixties when hey, they didn't even want to
Speaker 3: watch television. They want to cruise around the Friday and
Speaker 3: Saturday nights, you know, the outdoor restaurants and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: But we pulled them in because of our campy style.
Speaker 3: We used to say that we put on our tights
Speaker 3: to put on the world. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't think people generally understand that the show means
Speaker 2: different things to people of different ages and at different ages.
Speaker 2: I of course loved it when it was in reruns,
Speaker 2: as I wasn't able to see it when it was
Speaker 2: first run. But when I was a like three, four
Speaker 2: or five year old kid, of course I loved it.
Speaker 2: But then later on as an adult, I saw just
Speaker 2: the brilliance of the humor. And I spend a lot
Speaker 2: of time trying to explain to people here just how
Speaker 2: brilliant the show was, how it actually saved the Batman comics,
Speaker 2: how it's its own hilarious thing, and all these dark,
Speaker 2: serious Batman movies and shows they can coexist with Batman
Speaker 2: sixty six. What's your perception of all that over the
Speaker 2: years as it sort of waxed and waned and waxed again.
Speaker 3: Well, let me just tell you, if it wasn't for
Speaker 3: our Batman, I'm not sure you'd have all these superhero movies.
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
Speaker 3: And you know, there's one thing that a lot of
Speaker 3: people don't know, it really kind of sophisticated, that is
Speaker 3: in every superhero movie and in every action movie made today,
Speaker 3: something that Adam and I started back in nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 3: And let me tell you what it is. There was
Speaker 3: a particular scene in a warehouse. We were looking for
Speaker 3: the Joker, and all of a sudden, out of the
Speaker 3: blue hair all these like eight different villains, you know,
Speaker 3: a henchman showed up and they're wan to fight with us,
Speaker 3: and you know, I mean it's very threatening, right, So
Speaker 3: I had this line to Batman, I said, got Batman,
Speaker 3: there's eight of them against two of us, odds in
Speaker 3: our favor.
Speaker 2: I honestly don't think that you get enough credit for
Speaker 2: how hilariously funny you were on the show. On what
Speaker 2: a really gifted comic actor you were. I think it
Speaker 2: was taken for granted more than it should have been.
Speaker 2: I mean when I see your delivery at things like Robin,
Speaker 2: when is a door not a door? And you say
Speaker 2: when it's a jar? Nobody could have done that like you.
Speaker 3: You know, it was a lot of fun doing it.
Speaker 3: But what I had just said in terms of even
Speaker 3: look at today's movies, all action movies, right in the
Speaker 3: middle of the most dangerous parts, there's always a moment
Speaker 3: where the two sleeds will turn to the other and
Speaker 3: have some comic thing where they say something funny to
Speaker 3: break you know, the energy, and yet didn't go back.
Speaker 3: So it's something that is used in all of the
Speaker 3: feature films today that what we ended up creating back
Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 2: I am going to go even further than that and
Speaker 2: suggest that there is a straight line between what you
Speaker 2: guys did in Batman sixty six and the Deadpool movies
Speaker 2: that are so popular right now. And I think you
Speaker 2: were ahead of your time. Have you thought about that?
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, and it's wonderful. Look, you know, let
Speaker 3: me tell you what we did with great family entertainment,
Speaker 3: what Warner Brothers has done with the superheroes, and Marvel
Speaker 3: has done they it's fabulous as well. I mean, there's
Speaker 3: room for everybody. People are they do love action films,
Speaker 3: and they love heroes, and they you know, the whole
Speaker 3: concept is entertainment. It's something that you want to escape.
Speaker 3: It's bigger than life. It's something that we all can feel,
Speaker 3: even in our own world, if you know what I
Speaker 3: mean I do.
Speaker 2: We're going to go to a break right now and
Speaker 2: we come back. We're going to talk about your pet
Speaker 2: food and a couple other Burt Ward Robin items. I'm
Speaker 2: talking to the legendary Bert Ward. It's KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Mark Ronner in from O Kelly and I want to
Speaker 2: get right back to this. Every second counts. We have
Speaker 2: the legendary, the legendary Bert Ward from Batman on the line. Bert,
Speaker 2: you're still with me?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to get to your pet food in
Speaker 2: just a second. But before we do that, I just
Speaker 2: have to know when Batman was at its absolute peak,
Speaker 2: what was your life like.
Speaker 3: Busy listen. It was filming five days a week, eleven
Speaker 3: to twelve hours a day, and not in a costume
Speaker 3: that wasn't terribly comfortable, climbing walls, fighting villains, very dangerous
Speaker 3: filming back in those days not quite the same as
Speaker 3: it is today, and on weekends making appearances. It was
Speaker 3: like seven days a week. But I had a lot
Speaker 3: of fun and we made a lot of people happy,
Speaker 3: and we always did things in a positive way. Even
Speaker 3: when we made our personal appearances. You know, there would
Speaker 3: be some people say, oh, take off your mask. Oh no,
Speaker 3: When Batman, Adam West and myself were in costume, we
Speaker 3: were in character. We preserved it for kids, so it
Speaker 3: was always something that you could all the parents love
Speaker 3: to bring their kids. We had a great time. It
Speaker 3: was a fun show. I mean, this made so many
Speaker 3: people happy.
Speaker 2: It certainly made me happy. And we hear things like
Speaker 2: Don Adams basing his guest smart character on I think
Speaker 2: it was William Powell. Was there anyone's influence at all
Speaker 2: that we can hear in you as Robin? If you
Speaker 2: told us anyone who inspired.
Speaker 3: You, well, you know, here's the interesting thing. Growing up,
Speaker 3: I always wanted to be a superhero and as a
Speaker 3: three year old child, my mother took photos of me
Speaker 3: on my tricycle riding around with a towel bath towel
Speaker 3: held together with a clothes pin. I mean, it was
Speaker 3: something that I daydreamed about. So when I had the
Speaker 3: opportunity to do it, you know the reason I was selected.
Speaker 3: There was eleven hundred young actors that tried out, and
Speaker 3: the executive producer told me when after I was selected
Speaker 3: that the reason they picked me. They said, if there
Speaker 3: really was a robin, you know, like forgetting television. What
Speaker 3: if there really was a robin, they said, you, personally,
Speaker 3: Bert would be it. So we don't want you to
Speaker 3: quote act. We want you to do just two things.
Speaker 3: Be yourself and be enthusiastic. Well, that's pretty easy for
Speaker 3: me to do, and that's what I did for one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty episodes.
Speaker 2: Well you will always be my Robin. Now, for some time,
Speaker 2: you've been making and selling your own specialty dog food.
Speaker 2: Tell me about that. What led to that?
Speaker 3: Okay, thirty years ago, in August of nineteen ninety four,
Speaker 3: my wife and I rescued a Great Dane. We found
Speaker 3: out that other Great Danes were being put to death
Speaker 3: in shelters because there was no rescue for them. And
Speaker 3: I said to my wife Tracy, in the first week
Speaker 3: of August nineteen ninety four, I said, we can't let
Speaker 3: these dogs die. How about just for a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks so we can find somebody else take this over.
Speaker 3: Let's rescue them. By the end of August, we had
Speaker 3: in our house one hundred and two Great Danes and
Speaker 3: sixty one puppies under seven weeks of age. Wow, because
Speaker 3: they were all being put to death and we saved everyone. Well,
Speaker 3: you know here it is like thirty years later, haven't
Speaker 3: found anybody take over the rescues. But here's the key thing.
Speaker 3: This is our charity. My wife and I don't take
Speaker 3: any salary from this and because we love dogs and
Speaker 3: we've actually made it our life's work, we have found
Speaker 3: a way to help them live longer. Giant breed dogs
Speaker 3: particularly only live six to eight years or seven to
Speaker 3: nine years. Other breeds usually live only ten or twelve years.
Speaker 3: We have found a way to make all dogs have
Speaker 3: a chance to live as long as thirty years. We created,
Speaker 3: after spending actually millions of dollars, we created a special
Speaker 3: food and a special way to care for dogs. And
Speaker 3: right now, throughout the United States and Canada, more than
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dogs every day eat our gentle giants.
Speaker 3: Dog food is for all breeds, all ages, from the
Speaker 3: youngest puppies to the oldest seniors. Here at our house
Speaker 3: right now, I've got five dogs that are over twenty
Speaker 3: years of age.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 3: We have a customer in PHOENICX. His dog on January
Speaker 3: third of twenty twenty five will be thirty one years
Speaker 3: old eating our food. And you say, well, how can
Speaker 3: you do that, Well, let me tell you in a nutshell,
Speaker 3: here's how we can do it. For any of your
Speaker 3: listeners who have dogs. Here's a quick suggestion. Go pick
Speaker 3: up some of the food you're feeding doesn't matter if
Speaker 3: it's the cheapest food, are the most expensive? Pick it
Speaker 3: up those kibbles, rub them in your fingers, put them down,
Speaker 3: rub your fingers together. You're gonna feel a greasy feeling.
Speaker 3: That's animal fat that was sprayed onto the food and
Speaker 3: stealing the food to make dogs eat more, to make
Speaker 3: you buy more dog food. Well, that is terrible. We
Speaker 3: believe it's killing dogs. And why do I say that,
Speaker 3: because you wouldn't if you cook bacon, would you take
Speaker 3: the grease and pour down your garbage disposed? Of course not,
Speaker 3: it would clog it. We'll think of all the dogs
Speaker 3: whose arteries and intestines are clogged with animal fat. Okay,
Speaker 3: and so we don't do that. Our food is incredibly healthy,
Speaker 3: non g O. That's another thing. You know in the US,
Speaker 3: our food now, our few food supply is more than
Speaker 3: ninety percent genetically modified to accept pesticide in the food.
Speaker 3: You know, when a farmer grows a plant and pets
Speaker 3: and bugs attack it, he sprayed with pesticide. Half the
Speaker 3: time it kills the plant, but with GMOs in it,
Speaker 3: the plant lives, and unfortunately the plant absorbs the pesticide.
Speaker 3: Your dog eats the food, fruits vegetables, meat, whatever it is,
Speaker 3: and your dog ends up getting cancer. I mean our dogs,
Speaker 3: and this is absolutely true. In thirty years, we've had
Speaker 3: more than fifteen thousand, five hundred dogs here and less
Speaker 3: than a dozen had cancer.
Speaker 2: Bert I don't I don't think a lot of people
Speaker 2: understand when they see the store bought pet food just
Speaker 2: how lousy and full of garbage it is, and how
Speaker 2: good quality pure food can give pets a new lease
Speaker 2: on life. I had a cat for eighteen years and
Speaker 2: it was on death's door a handful of times. And
Speaker 2: when I started feeding the cat raw food that was
Speaker 2: kind of expensive, it brought her back to life.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. But what we've done is we've found a way.
Speaker 3: Now that's just the food, but it's how you've seed
Speaker 3: the dogs. We seed dogs differently. We feed our dogs
Speaker 3: a minimum of five times a day, small or more
Speaker 3: frequent meals. Why do you do that because their bodies
Speaker 3: wear out faster if they have to digest only two
Speaker 3: meals a day. There's so much technology in our thing,
Speaker 3: and by the way, our food is general giants. I'd
Speaker 3: like to mention that those that want it here in
Speaker 3: southern California, they could go to any State, or Brothers Market, Ralph's, Gelson's.
Speaker 3: They could go to any petco. We're in fifteen hundred
Speaker 3: pet coos across the country, and they can order it online,
Speaker 3: you know, Petco, Chewy dot com. You know all of
Speaker 3: the other majors plot for cats as well. We lost
Speaker 3: too cats recently. One was thirty one years old and
Speaker 3: one was thirty two years old. You can't do that
Speaker 3: with regular pet food. And our food is so healthy,
Speaker 3: it is the cleanest, and it's our charity. We take
Speaker 3: no salary from this because we want everybody to be
Speaker 3: able to afford a food to help them keep their
Speaker 3: dog or cat years longer.
Speaker 2: That's incredible. And just tell people one more time where
Speaker 2: they can go online to check out everything about General Giant.
Speaker 3: They can go to General Giantsdogfood dot com, General giantspatfood
Speaker 3: dot com or Generalgiantspet Products dot com. And you know,
Speaker 3: there's so many testimonials. We have thousands of testimonials on
Speaker 3: Facebook and other places where people their dogs were near death.
Speaker 3: You know, their vets told them nothing more can be done,
Speaker 3: and they came back on our food because it's pure,
Speaker 3: it's natural nutrition, and it's our charity. Again, we want
Speaker 3: everybody's dog and cat to live the longest, healthiest life possible.
Speaker 3: This is our life's work. And by the way, quick thing.
Speaker 3: We got four awards on April twenty eight two from
Speaker 3: the President of the United States, the President's Volunteer Service
Speaker 3: Award for having rescued more than fifteen thousand, five hundred dogs,
Speaker 3: and the President's Lifetime Achievement Award for having created this
Speaker 3: special food and a special feeding and care program that
Speaker 3: now almost all of our dogs here are living twice
Speaker 3: their normal life man with no illness. Our dogs are
Speaker 3: so healthy. The only time they go to a veterinarian
Speaker 3: is every three years for a rabies update. No illness.
Speaker 2: Good on you for that. Good on you for that.
Speaker 2: That is so terrific. Bert, We're up against the clock.
Speaker 2: Before you go, Can I get a holy something from
Speaker 2: your holy mediocre radio host, Holy sad nerd, Holy insels something,
Speaker 2: holy superhero host.
Speaker 3: Wowe, Dolly Mark, You're the greatest.
Speaker 2: That was worth the whole thing right there, Bert Ward,
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how much it means to have
Speaker 2: you as my first guest. I appreciate it. Hope, I
Speaker 2: talk to you again. Take care.
Speaker 3: Thank you. As we said, I'm Batman to them Batmobile.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
Speaker 4: from kf I A M six forty's.
Speaker 2: About pop culture.
Speaker 5: Ron and Report with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 2: It's Later with Mo Killing on kf I AM six
Speaker 2: point forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Mark Ronner.
Speaker 2: It's the Run and Report and a couple of vastly
Speaker 2: different things this week. First Terminator zero on Netflix. Here's
Speaker 2: a bit of the trailer and it's pretty visual, and
Speaker 2: radio is more of a non visual medium, So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna give you a little color commentary while the clip plays,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna cut it off because I think it
Speaker 2: gets a little gnarly about halfway through. Vicious dog, unstoppable
Speaker 2: terminator killing people with automatic weapons, Terminator's face half off,
Speaker 2: army of robots marching. You have uncertainty. Only one thing
Speaker 2: is brutal terminator violence against humans.
Speaker 1: Things will get worse.
Speaker 2: Truck ramming a terminator over a bridge. You're not gonna
Speaker 2: kill him. I need to stop.
Speaker 5: Judgment day.
Speaker 2: Terminator with a crossbow popping out of his arm. We
Speaker 2: haven't seen that before. Dan die or you can come
Speaker 2: with me, who orde comply or Die seems reasonable. Terminator
Speaker 2: zero is an eight part animated series, and I don't
Speaker 2: watch a lot of animated movies or shows. You know why,
Speaker 2: because I'm an adult. Go ahead, foosh, okay, that's a joke.
Speaker 2: I like running into the ground and taunting people like
Speaker 2: to wallow with. But anime creators in Japan have always
Speaker 2: understood that you can make any kind of animated movie
Speaker 2: tell any kind of story, and it doesn't have to
Speaker 2: be for kids. In fact, plenty of it can be
Speaker 2: pretty hardcore, and this Terminator show definitely can be. There
Speaker 2: is some violence that goes hard in this it's in fact,
Speaker 2: I wish more of the movies in the Terminator series
Speaker 2: had been this entertaining instead of just feeling like they
Speaker 2: keep going back to the well over and over and
Speaker 2: over because they haven't quite extracted all the money they
Speaker 2: can from Terminator fans. Arnold needs some new hummers in
Speaker 2: a humid or back to work. The truth is Terminators
Speaker 2: kind of like the Alien series to me. The first
Speaker 2: one was a milestone, the second one up the aty
Speaker 2: and was a bigger, different kind of classic in its
Speaker 2: own right, both classics. And then there's the rest about
Speaker 2: the most you could say is they had some good
Speaker 2: stuff in them, but generally ranged from uneven to just
Speaker 2: outright code browns. Can you even name all of them?
Speaker 2: If you've seen them all, Tiffany, you win nothing. There
Speaker 2: was Terminator three, Rise of the Something or Others, Terminator, Salvation, Terminator,
Speaker 2: Genesis ge Nisys, which irritates me. That's an irritating spelling. Terminator,
Speaker 2: Dark Fate, which is that the one where they brought
Speaker 2: back Linda Hamilton.
Speaker 6: I think so okay, I have no idea.
Speaker 2: And then you had a two thousand and eight TV
Speaker 2: series with Lena Heaty from Game of Thrones, and I
Speaker 2: got to tell you, of all these that one wasn't
Speaker 2: that bad, believe it or not. T Zero set in
Speaker 2: Japan in nineteen ninety seven before Judgment Day. Pretty familiar premise,
Speaker 2: you heard it, Come with me if you want to live,
Speaker 2: or something along those lines. But it's nicely executed. Pardon me.
Speaker 2: A terminator is sent back to kill a scientist who's
Speaker 2: developing an aa AI called Cookoro to compete with the
Speaker 2: sky Net that we all know and kill the scientist children,
Speaker 2: and a female fighter sent back to stop the killing.
Speaker 2: Kind of a female Kyle Reese. This one gets right
Speaker 2: down to business, with a minimum of cheese, plenty of attention,
Speaker 2: and some fairly jarring violence. Full disclosure. I was friends
Speaker 2: with Harlan Ellison, who sued James Cameron for ripping off
Speaker 2: a couple of his Outer Limits stories for The Terminator,
Speaker 2: allegedly episodes called Soldier and Demon with a Glass Hand.
Speaker 2: They're on they're streaming. You can find them episodes of
Speaker 2: the old black and white Outer Limits, both excellent stories
Speaker 2: about time travel and saving the human race. That is
Speaker 2: why you see the acknowledgment added at the end of
Speaker 2: the first Terminator movie. Alison got some money too, but
Speaker 2: he never told me how much. But he was always
Speaker 2: good about picking up a check. By the way, Ellison
Speaker 2: wrote another modern classic about computers all linking up, becoming sentient,
Speaker 2: and killing off nearly all humanity. It's called and I'm
Speaker 2: not making this up. I have no mouth, and I
Speaker 2: must scream, one of the all time great titles. The
Speaker 2: super Mega computer in this story keeps the last handful
Speaker 2: of humans alive so it can torture and taunt them.
Speaker 2: If you've never read it, you're in for a treat,
Speaker 2: A sick treat. But it beats the hell out of
Speaker 2: that West World show. Now. It struck me watching Terminator
Speaker 2: Zero that we're a lot closer to that terrifying sky
Speaker 2: Net future now, because back in nineteen eighty four, the
Speaker 2: Terminator was an unstoppable killing machine who might as well
Speaker 2: have been Michael Myers from Halloween or the Student Loan People.
Speaker 2: But now we've got AI starting to put people out
Speaker 2: of work, actors and writers going on strike to stop that.
Speaker 2: We've got autonomous cars as well as a mole for
Speaker 2: big autonomous car working right here on this show. Twalla Sharp,
Speaker 2: I'll say this, as scary as the Terminator robots and
Speaker 2: the movies are, at least they're not cranking out screenplays.
Speaker 2: Terminator zero has some big timers doing voices. Timothy Oliphant
Speaker 2: voices the Terminator. You'll also hear Rosario Dawson, Andre Holland
Speaker 2: Sonoya Mizuno, who may not be familiar to non Nerds,
Speaker 2: but she's going to be Nerd Royalty soon. She's in
Speaker 2: House of the Dragon. She was in Alex Garland's dev
Speaker 2: series and Ex Machina. I'll admit I am not a
Speaker 2: huge fan of the animation, which looks like a mix
Speaker 2: of that traditional speed racers style and some computer generated
Speaker 2: stuff all swapped in together. But T zero is the
Speaker 2: most watchable entry since T two, which reminds me I
Speaker 2: also hate Siri. Oh crap, did I just activate a
Speaker 2: bunch of them? Sorry? Tell her to stop Judgment Day
Speaker 2: from coming. And finally, Kevin Costner's Horizon is on HBO
Speaker 2: slash Max now after being a huge flop in theaters.
Speaker 2: It cost one hundred million dollars for chapter one and
Speaker 2: it's only made about a third of that back in theaters. Sorry,
Speaker 2: that's Horizon and American Saga chapter one of four. Chapter
Speaker 2: two should be premiering at the Venice Film Festival, which
Speaker 2: just started. Three is reportedly filming fours in development. Honestly,
Speaker 2: a three hour western in theaters when we're still in
Speaker 2: a pandemic was kind of a big ask. And whether
Speaker 2: it's a vanity project or a visionary work of art
Speaker 2: that would make John Ford cry, I guess we won't
Speaker 2: know until we've seen it all the way to the end.
Speaker 2: But I admire the nerve and the ambition of Kevin
Speaker 2: Costner for making this. He doesn't show up until an
Speaker 2: hour into the movie, and by the end of the
Speaker 2: three hours, we barely know anything about him, and there's
Speaker 2: not really even a story in this first movie. So
Speaker 2: much is the beginning of one. So I can't say
Speaker 2: it's fully satisfying, but it is one hundred percent worth seeing,
Speaker 2: especially if you do love those john Ford john Wayne movies,
Speaker 2: or if you liked Lonesome Dove How the West Was Won,
Speaker 2: those big, sprawling epics. It is just beautifully photographed, lots
Speaker 2: of battles, well staged, big cast of characters. I want
Speaker 2: to see where it all goes. And I think it's
Speaker 2: important to support big swings like this from artists in
Speaker 2: part to encourage actual artists to give us more than
Speaker 2: the usual movie commerce that were fed. I mean, listen,
Speaker 2: I like Marvel movies as much as anyone else, but
Speaker 2: I'd also like the little variety on the menu. You know.
Speaker 2: Another thing this movie gets right is that it looks
Speaker 2: so realistic that I constantly kept wondering how bad everyone smelled.
Speaker 2: We forget how much indoor plumbing changed life for everyone.
Speaker 2: These were not people who showered every morning or every
Speaker 2: week month, and whatever their pooping arrangement was, I'd like
Speaker 2: to be spared any depictions of it. Also, if this
Speaker 2: Horizon movie boosts the career of Jeff Fahey and his
Speaker 2: glorious facial hair, it'll all be worth everything at cost.
Speaker 2: That's right. I buried the lead. Fahie the lawnmower man
Speaker 2: is in this Tiffany. Have you ever watched a western
Speaker 2: in your life?
Speaker 6: I have. I grew up watching westerns with my mother
Speaker 6: on Turner classic movies, I believe, and whatever was on
Speaker 6: on television before television went off.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know that they're for everybody, but
Speaker 2: if you grew up on them, this is going to
Speaker 2: hit all the buttons for you. Terminator, you mentioned to
Speaker 2: me that it was today's judgment day or yesterday was
Speaker 2: judgment Day.
Speaker 6: So there's there's a bit of a controversy thinking of Skynet.
Speaker 6: Skynett maybe today where Skynett becomes self aware, or it
Speaker 6: maybe nineteen ninety seven. I'm not fully sure. I was
Speaker 6: trying to look it up quickly off air, but many
Speaker 6: online are saying that August twenty ninth, twenty twenty four
Speaker 6: is when Skynet becomes self aware.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess we'd better be ready for it. Time
Speaker 2: to go to a break. When we come back we're
Speaker 2: going to talk about the Poltergeist house that just sold.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Mark Ronner in for Moe. Moe and Twaller are off
Speaker 2: on a cruise, hopefully just well in their cups by now.
Speaker 2: But you don't think just because Moe's gone, we're not
Speaker 2: going to have name that cult movie classic. If you
Speaker 2: want to get in line, call up and play. Here's
Speaker 2: the number. Eight hundred five to two oh one five
Speaker 2: three one, eight hundred five two oh one five three
Speaker 2: one four four. Wait a minute, one five oh three.
Speaker 2: I wrote it down wrong. Okay, scratch that, because I
Speaker 2: wasn't wearing my glasses when I copied down the movie,
Speaker 2: because I'm too vain to walk around in the building
Speaker 2: with glasses. Eight hundred five to two oh one five
Speaker 2: three four Is that right? Foosh?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 2: Okay. We were bound to hit some sort of glitch tonight,
Speaker 2: and I'm glad that that's all it's been so far.
Speaker 2: Five Radio one eight hundred five too oh one five
Speaker 2: three four. We will give you some kind of Mo
Speaker 2: Kelly swag. It will be unspecified. It'll be a surprise
Speaker 2: grab bag. It could be a key chain of later
Speaker 2: with mo Kelly. It could be a mo Kelly mug.
Speaker 2: That's right, you could drink out of Moe's head. Or
Speaker 2: it could be something else. But you'll get some sort
Speaker 2: of swag, will take down your name and your stuff
Speaker 2: and you will receive an item. But before we go
Speaker 2: to that real quickly the Poltergeist House. So the Poltergeist
Speaker 2: House from the nineteen eighty two Toby Hooper horror movie
Speaker 2: that everyone has seen, what tiffany of Have you seen Poltergeist?
Speaker 3: I have?
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 6: I saw it as a child, I saw it as
Speaker 6: an adult, and equally scary both times.
Speaker 2: Did it really scare you?
Speaker 6: I won't say it scared me. It creeped me out
Speaker 6: because you start to think about your TV coming alive
Speaker 6: in the middle of the night, that type of thing.
Speaker 2: It sold less than three weeks after it was placed
Speaker 2: on the market. It was listed for sale for the
Speaker 2: first time in forty five years. The agent said. Although
Speaker 2: much of the house has been updated, some of the
Speaker 2: rooms would still be familiar to fans of the movie,
Speaker 2: including the kitchen and family room. No word about the
Speaker 2: pool where all the where all the corpses were The
Speaker 2: house was originally listed at one million, one hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy four, nine hundred and ninety nine dollars, and it
Speaker 2: reportedly received several offers. We don't know what the final
Speaker 2: negotiated price was, but my question to the crew is, Tiffany,
Speaker 2: would you live in that house?
Speaker 6: You know, that price seems relatively low, you know, compared
Speaker 6: to specs in the neighborhood and homes around California, Los Angeles.
Speaker 6: I think if I were offered that home.
Speaker 3: Yes I would.
Speaker 2: I would be a little.
Speaker 6: Nervous at some point, but you quickly get over that.
Speaker 6: You realize you're getting a good deal.
Speaker 2: Well, it's also just a movie house. It's not like
Speaker 2: a real murder house. Foosh, would you I think I might.
Speaker 2: I'd be a little nervous at first, but yeah, considering
Speaker 2: the price, Yeah, I think that housing is so expensive
Speaker 2: right now that I would live in the Bates Motel
Speaker 2: if it was under twenty three hundred bucks a month
Speaker 2: for a two bedroom. Andrew, what about you? No, now
Speaker 2: you don't want to give it even though it's just
Speaker 2: a movie house.
Speaker 6: You know what, all of the all of la that's
Speaker 6: listening right now, just like me, I don't need no
Speaker 6: bad juju follow me around.
Speaker 2: Movie house or no movie house. I got to tell you,
Speaker 2: I am priced out of ever in my life owning
Speaker 2: a house in the Los Angeles area. So I think
Speaker 2: if the Amityville house where real stuff actually did happen,
Speaker 2: if that came on the market well, and if it
Speaker 2: was here in LA and there was a good deal
Speaker 2: on that, I'd have to consider it. I'll say you.
Speaker 2: I read the Amityville book when when I was quite
Speaker 2: young in my grandparents' basement in Spokane. And here's the
Speaker 2: setup the basement. You go down a flight of stairs,
Speaker 2: there's a long hallway with rooms that go off, and
Speaker 2: then there's my bedroom at the end of the hallway.
Speaker 2: And there's no light switch at the end of the hallway.
Speaker 2: There's only the light switch at the top of the stairs.
Speaker 2: So I turn the lights off and I feel way
Speaker 2: down my way down to my bedroom. And I read
Speaker 2: the Amityville horror book and it scares the hell out
Speaker 2: of me when I'm a kid. But I can't go
Speaker 2: back downstairs now because the lights at the top of
Speaker 2: the stairs, and I just have to stay downstairs and
Speaker 2: eat it all night. What I'm telling you is I
Speaker 2: would live in the Amityville House if there was a
Speaker 2: good deal on it.
Speaker 6: Okay, there is another house in Los Angeles. It goes
Speaker 6: by the Moniker Murder House. So you had actually coined
Speaker 6: the Poter Guy's house as such, but it's not that.
Speaker 6: And the murder house was used for filming an American
Speaker 6: horror story and murders. She wrote Buffy, Yeah, murders, she
Speaker 6: wrote Buffy the Vampires, sleigher all these things. That house
Speaker 6: is like five stories, all brick on the outside, with
Speaker 6: these really dark small windows. It kind of looks like
Speaker 6: a castle. It's very Gothic in style. That one I
Speaker 6: would not live in, no matter.
Speaker 2: You couldn't pay me to spend the night in the
Speaker 2: Queen Mary Listen, slap a coat of paint on it
Speaker 2: and fabreeze it, and I'm gonna call it good because
Speaker 2: otherwise I have no hope of ever owning a house
Speaker 2: in this area. Things are so expensive now. I know
Speaker 2: that realtors have to tell you now if there has
Speaker 2: been a killing and a house. And I'm genuinely curious
Speaker 2: if people are sort of doing that whole Jack Benny
Speaker 2: cheapskate your money or your life thing when they find
Speaker 2: out about this, because who can what normal person can
Speaker 2: afford nine hundred bucks for an average sized house. You
Speaker 2: got to be doing the math in your head, like, well, okay,
Speaker 2: I guess if there's a presence here, can they chip
Speaker 2: in for utilities? I don't know. Let me give you
Speaker 2: the number one more time. We're going to play Name
Speaker 2: that cult movie classic when we come back. The number.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get it right this time eight hundred five
Speaker 2: two oh one, five three four. If you get through,
Speaker 2: you're going to get something. We just don't know what
Speaker 2: it is. It'll be some mo Kelly swag. Name that
Speaker 2: cult movie classic? Coming up right after this break, Mark
Speaker 2: Ronner in from O Kelly on a KFI rather AM
Speaker 2: six forty live everywhere on the iHeart app.
