1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and welcome back to Coast to Coast. George Nori

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: with you, mister Lobo with us. We'll take calls with

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: him next hour. Share some of your favorite movies if

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: you would. On a technical question, physical media. What's happening

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: there that's changing the entire digital world, isn't it. Yeah,

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting because I think that, you know,

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people are not trusting a lot of

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: the streaming services and a lot of the things that

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: they're depending on downloads. I remember a friend of mine

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: to have the book nineteen eighty four on their kindle

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: and one day they went to read their book and

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: it was gone because there was a rights dispute of

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: all books, right, And you know, so I think that

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: sometimes it's good. We were talking earlier about having a

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: DVD or Blu ray. You know, sometimes it's nice to

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: have that hard copy, that insurance because you know, if

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: you've got movies on the cloud or movies on your computer,

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, something happens and they're gone, And what are

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: they using for physical copies? You don't need it? What

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: they're using copper and glass or something. Oh well, you know,

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: I mean it, I'm not sure what they're as far

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: as what what what DVDs and blue razor made out

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: of things that they're storying. Sure, yeah, I suppose so.

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, honestly, uh, you know, sometimes I

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: miss videotape. Um, but at least you knew you had it.

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: You know, videotape. What's that? Yeah, when you when you

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: were working in radio, did you ever have to cut

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: tape with a razor? I sure did. Used to splice

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: it and put it together that way, and you know,

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: put a little piece of tape across the tape. Yeah,

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: we had to do a lot of that stuff too.

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: And now everything's first nine years and it was all

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: just scotch tape and and and and I don't know

35
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: how we did it, you know. I mean, it's it's amazing,

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, digital editing and everything now. Um, but yeah,

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: it's it's if you've got um, yeah, if you've got anything,

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: you really should have backups. And I think I think

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: that's the thing about I think there is a little

40
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: bit of a nostalgian, a little bit of a return

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: where people want to have a hard copy of their

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: favorite movies and things, and you know, and I think

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: it's it's smart because with all the weird rights issues

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: or they're you know, they're changing re editing movies, like

45
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, you get Disney Plus and and you go

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: and watch your favorite movie and you go, wait a second,

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: that movie doesn't go like that. Well, they've sensored it

48
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: or changed it. And you know, now that's the movie

49
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: of the version that they've decided everybody is going to see,

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: and and that's the only version that they can see.

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: So sometimes it's nice to have that in some sort

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: of fixed form. And I think that that's I think

53
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: that's why a lot of people are are actually uh

54
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: just like there's there kind of was a resurgence and

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: people buying books again. I think that people are having

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: that resurgence in in you know, just or or or

57
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: people getting their their LPs, their vinyl records again. People

58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: are getting you know, there's these tape heads out there

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: collect vhs again, you know, and I think that people,

60
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think blue raising DVDs are still still

61
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, vibrant. What's happening in the streaming world. It

62
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: seems to be getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Oh yeah,

63
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of the streaming wars. I think

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: everyone is fighting for everybody's subscription of funds. You know,

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: everybody has got their own version. Disney Plus is the

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: big one now. And of course they had a huge

67
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: hit with The Mandalorian, which is the Star Wars television series,

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: and they decided they're going to do a different have

69
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: to have one series. Star Wars seris going at all times,

70
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: I think, and they're going to do a Marble series,

71
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: and you know, they're going to have to keep having

72
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: these new talked about series popping up on there so

73
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: they can get people to subscribe, because the second the

74
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: Mandalorian ended, I think like eight of thousands of people

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: just dropped their subscriptions because they were done watching the show.

76
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: That's right, So they're they're you know, and I think

77
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: all of the major studios, I think are going to

78
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: have their own version where they're going to take their

79
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: life library of films and the only way you can

80
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: see those films is if you pay your seven dollars

81
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: a month or your ten dollars a month. They're all

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: trying to get a piece of of what Netflix started,

83
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: and you know, and they're there's there's there's a ton

84
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: of them in Amazon and everyone else. So definitely, like

85
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: I said, oh, there's a war going on, and war

86
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: for your attention and war for your subscription rates. Uh,

87
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: and it's going to be interesting to see, you know

88
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: what programs end up Where I meant CBS has Star

89
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: Trek locked up. If you want to see the new

90
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: Star Trek, you have to subscribe to theirs, you know.

91
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: So it's an interesting situation where you've got um, you know,

92
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Hulu and Amazon and Netflix and all the major studios

93
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: trying to volley with their own streaming services. Well what

94
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: would you like to do? You know, pay seven dollars

95
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: a month and babel a stream and watch as many

96
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: programs as you could, or go to a movie for

97
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: one seven dollar movie. I mean it's it's strong way. Yeah,

98
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: and I wish they we're still seven dollars. I think

99
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: I've gone to a few fourteen dollars movies here there,

100
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: so um yeah, eleven bucks fourteen bucks just to go

101
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: to a movie that definitely is a lot more. Uh.

102
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, one movie off the Fix is sixteen dollars

103
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: in California. But you know, I I do like going

104
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: to the movies though. That's the thing is though, even

105
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: though I enjoy watching films at home, I seeing a

106
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: theater projected on a screen cinematically. In certain movies only

107
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: work cinematically, like Once upon a Time in Hollywood. I mean,

108
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: that movie doesn't work on TV. You really, you have

109
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: to drink it in on a giant screen and or no, no, no,

110
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: no sale. In my opinion, so I think some things

111
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: are good for the big screen, and that experience of

112
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: seeing seeing it communally in a theater is is something

113
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: I hope never fully goes away. But you know, last

114
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: year more people went to public libraries than cinemas. So

115
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're we're in the wild West. Where

116
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: what's coming next? Then again, you have movies that stream

117
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: like The Irishman that last three hours and thirty minutes.

118
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: Who wants to go to a movie to see that.

119
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: I'd rather watch that at home. Stop it, do whatever

120
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: you do and come back or yeah yeah, yeah, I

121
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: mean I don't. I don't. I don't have a bladder

122
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: that robust, you know. Yeah, I can't take a three

123
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: hour movie. That's that's way wait. You know, I wish

124
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: they'd go back to having intermissions where they let you

125
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: stretch your legs in the middle. You know, I used

126
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: to do that in the old days. Absolutely, how long

127
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: were the movies in the old days, the Dean Martin

128
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: movies and things like, oh, you know, a lot of

129
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: times they would do like a sixty five minute movie,

130
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: a seventy minute movie because they were usually double features

131
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: for a while, and you know, they would have a

132
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: cartoon and a newsreel and and the flash Gordon Cereal

133
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: and everything, you know else. It was so they were

134
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: when you went to the movies, you got a lot

135
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: more than a movie. It was an event. It was

136
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: an event, and and you know it was also it

137
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: was your news, it was your entertainment. It was a

138
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: lot of things for people. And so there was a

139
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: there was a lot of a lot of things happening,

140
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: a lot of ballyhoo, a lot of you know, people

141
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: were saving us that they had weird giveaways where they

142
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: gave away dishes and toys and things at the movie theater.

143
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I think that we really I wish

144
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: theaters could be that kind of communal space where people

145
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: could go there and and uh, you know, really feel

146
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: like they're part of something and part of their communities.

147
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: You know, I think now it's just sort of like

148
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: they're just trying to squeeze us for every last sent

149
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: and making it more and more and more impersonal. And

150
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: you've got your nine dollars bucket of popcorn and you're

151
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, sixteen dollars in the door, and you know

152
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: that that's no fun. You know. I think that the

153
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: part of what made the movies great was how accessible

154
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: they were. That was, the admission was cheap. You could

155
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: get in there and you know, you bring the whole

156
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: family and you could all enjoy something together, and if

157
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: you like popcorn, it was great. And I love popcorn.

158
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: I could eat popcorn every day. You know. When I

159
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: worked at a movie theater. I had popcorn with mustard,

160
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I had popcorn with a honey. I think I had

161
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: popcorn with every condiment we had at the snack bar.

162
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: That was my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I kind of

163
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: like putting parmesan cheese on it, sprinkling. Oh man, I

164
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: have not done that. Oh it's pretty good. That's why

165
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: we keep you on the radio, mister Lobo, and not

166
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: in the studio. Oh that's right, that's right. What's new

167
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: in the world of television? Um, well, you know, like

168
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these streaming shows or you know,

169
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: I think I think TV is doing a lot better

170
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: than movies are. Um. You know, like we just talked

171
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: about the Bandalorian. Um. You know that that's that was

172
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: more successful than the last Star Wars movie. You know,

173
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: that's amazing, and UM, you know I think that you know,

174
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: we have, um a lot of horror series um. Uh

175
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: you know happening right now. There was a really good

176
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: series called mind Hunter. You ever heard of that? I

177
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: have series? I never saw it. Fantastic. I think that

178
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: they stopped a while so they could make they could

179
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: make more of it, um, and they want to keep

180
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: the quality up. So I don't think they're going to

181
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: start right back up right away. I think they're going

182
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: to be in production for a while. But what an

183
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: incredible show. You remember in the early days of television,

184
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: and we talked about this over several past shows, they

185
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: would always have some ghoulish host at these cities, you know,

186
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: introducing movies and stuff like my Buddy Morgus and people

187
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: like that. Oh yeah, does that that doesn't happen anymore? Well,

188
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: I do that are you. You're as I'm a rarity,

189
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: but I do. I do spook shows. You know. In

190
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: at the Colonial Theater last year we showed Daughter of Horror.

191
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: You know, we did all the ballei who we had,

192
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: We had women in uh, we had unregistered nurses handing

193
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: out life insurance policies and uh huh justin case all

194
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: that all that crazy William Castle kind of stuff. And uh,

195
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, we had a puppeteers and sideshow people on

196
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: stage and we show a movie and we had ghosts

197
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: roaming through the audience and touching people on their shoulder

198
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: and sitting next to them and eating their popcorn, and

199
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: so you know, I mean people do do it, you know,

200
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: even though even if something isn't popular, it doesn't mean

201
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: it isn't done, you know. And there are people, you know,

202
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: keepers of the flame, who are in their own local

203
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: communities doing their own fun things at the very few

204
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: remaining independent movie theaters that exist. Did you shell out?

205
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: We did our second year in a row, Daughter a

206
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: Horror and sold out both both times. So you know,

207
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: that's that's an interesting thing. Then what people If people

208
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: know that they that they're going to get something more,

209
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: if if if they get the word that, oh this

210
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: is going to be special and there's going to be

211
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: audience participation and we're going to get more than just

212
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: a movie, they'll come. They'll come, and it's just getting

213
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: the word out that's the hardest part. What is it

214
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: about horror films that people like to be scared? Well,

215
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a simple and simple, simple analogy,

216
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: but I think that you know, there are two kinds

217
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: of roller coasters, right, a roller coaster where you get

218
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: on and then once you get off of it, you're like, Okay,

219
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm never getting on that again. And then there's the

220
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: other roller coaster where you get on and you immediately

221
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: want to get back on it again and get back

222
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: on it again. And I do think, you know, there

223
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: is something to to that. A thrill, but safety, you know,

224
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: you you you you you are delivered back home safely

225
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: after you've been through this, and I feel you feel

226
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: like you've overcome something, and it's you know, we might

227
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: not be able to overcome things in our real lives,

228
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: but we can escape the Wolfman, and we can escape Dracula,

229
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: and we can escape the Blob and it's kind of

230
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: fun and it makes that I think the adversities of

231
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: our real life a lot easier to deal with. Do

232
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: people sometimes, uh, you know still have these nightmares watching

233
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: these horror flicks and TV shows and then they go

234
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: to bed and everything breaks loose. Yeah, it still does.

235
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: You know. It is interesting the magic of it where

236
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, someone will see a movie and then they'll

237
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: go home and they'll have nightmares for a week. So

238
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: that does happen. And uh, it is really funny too

239
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: when you when you see grown men and you know,

240
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: or you know, I would want to want to be sexist,

241
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: but I've grown adults will say, I, you know, I'm

242
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: the MC a blob Fest every year, and and we're

243
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: showing the Blob. This is a sixty year plus year

244
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: old movie, right, and they'll be grown adults were like,

245
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm still afraid of the Blob. I still have nightmares

246
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: about the Blob. And or you know with Jaws, I'm

247
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: sure it's the same thing. I'm still afraid to go

248
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: into the water, you know. Yeah, I'm still afraid that

249
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: Norman Dates is going to stab me in the shower

250
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: or putting your hand over the side of the bed.

251
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: A lot of it is real personal I think it

252
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: has a lot more to do with us personally and

253
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: what our personal real fears are. That these that these

254
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: movies kind of become iconic and symbolize these fears that

255
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: we have. If you're not afraid of if you're not

256
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: afraid of sharks, Jaws isn't going to do anything to you,

257
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: you know. Um So, I think I think it is

258
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: really interesting that it the movies were scared of say

259
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot more about us than they do about the movies.

260
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: But they're still fun, aren't they. I think fun is

261
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: really important, and I think fantasy is really important. I

262
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: mean sci fi and horror are really a subgenres a fantasy,

263
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: you know. I think that if it's just if it's

264
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: just murders, it could that's a crime. That's crime, that's

265
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: a it's a totally different genre. I think there has

266
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: to be something fantastic, something unexplainable, something that's just a

267
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: little bit beyond our grasp that puts it into a

268
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: different category, you know. I think if it's if it's

269
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: too pedestrian and it's just murders, you know, I think

270
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: that what real In my opinion, the best horror movies

271
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: have some kind of imaginary or fantastic aspect of them.
