00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today we're diving into one

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: of my favorite movie topics of all time, the dark

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: truth about the Wizard of Oz. All the crazy things

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: that happened behind the scenes and the blood, the sweat,

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: the tears, the people being burned alive that went into

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: the making of this classic movie. In the movie review,

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about Five Nights at Freddy's. I hated

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: the original, how did I feel about the sequel? In

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: the trailer park, I will be blind reacting to the

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: new Supergirl trailer it's coming out next year, and we'll

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: dive into what is going on with the DC universe

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 1: now that Netflix has bought Warner Brothers. Thank you for

Speaker 1: the Monday Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: from the Nashville Podcast Network. This is movie Mike's Movie Podcast.

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: One of my favorite movie topics to talk about of

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: all time is the dark truth behind the Wizard of Oz.

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: I have been infatuated with this movie since I was

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: a kid. Gave me nightmares the first time I watched it.

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 1: I always found the ten Man to be really creepy.

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: The scarecrow was creepy as well. And when you look

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: into the history of this movie, so many crazy things

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: happened on this set that if I could go back

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: in history to any time period and experience one thing,

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: I would want to go back to the making of

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: The Wizard of Oz and see how many of these

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: things were actually true and how many of them were

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: just legend. Because when you hear about the things the actors,

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: the extras, all the dogs involved in this movie had

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: to go through to get this film made, it is wild.

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: Also the fact that this movie is almost one hundred

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: years old now, and when The Wizard of Oz first

34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: opened in theaters it was a flop. It actually lost

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: one point one million dollars in its initial run. But

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: when you look at how famous this movie is now,

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: argue I would say the most famous movie of all time,

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: being that the most people have seen it in some

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: form or fashion now. And even if you just make

40
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: a reference a movie quote, for the most part, everybody

41
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: knows exactly what you are talking about. And a movie

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: like this just could not happen today. But whenever it

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: first came out in theaters, did not do well. There

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: was actually another Tree Garland movie that came out that

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: same year that performed better. But now flash forward to

46
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. People are paying between one hundred and

47
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: twenty to upwards a four hundred dollars to go see

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: this and now makes over two million dollars a day

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: when it is shown at the Sphere in Vegas. And

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: I am one of those people. I would love to

51
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: see it in Vegas on that big screen. How they

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: expand all the scenes, the things that fly out at

53
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: you while you're watching it. You get the fog, you

54
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: get the fire effects, the falling leaves, the falling butterflies,

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: They throw apples at you, monkey props. That would be amazing.

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: And the that it did become famous is because, like

57
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: I was mentioning, it did not do well at the

58
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: box office. The movie cost two point eight million dollars

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: to make, which was the most expensive movie that MGM

60
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: had ever made at the time, but it lost one

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: point one million dollars at the box office. But it

62
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: was all due to the movie being shown on TV.

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: The Wizard of Oz had its first broadcast on CBS

64
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty six, and the television showings were so

65
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: successful that it actually turned a profit for the studio,

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: and then its profitability was cemented after it was re

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: released ten years later in nineteen forty five and saw

68
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: even more success whenever it was finally released on home

69
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: video when that became a thing. Let's talk about our

70
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: cast of characters in this episode and in the movie.

71
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Judy Garland played Dorothy Gale, of course, the heart and

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: soul of the entire movie. Ray Bolger played the scarecrow

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: and hunk back in Kansas. Which I know this sounds stupid,

74
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: but as a kid, I didn't put it together that

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: all the people in Dorothy's life at the farm in

76
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: Kansas were all the people that she encountered in The

77
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz. Again, I watched this movie when I

78
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: was really young. For the first time. It freaked me out.

79
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: I didn't fully get that. But Ray Bulger was the Scarecrow.

80
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: He was also hug Jack Hayley was the tin man,

81
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: and Hickory back in Kansas. Bert Laar was a cowardly lion,

82
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: and Zeke back in Kansas. You have Margaret Hamilton as

83
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: the wicked Witch of the West and also Misses Gulch

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: and Frank Morgan plays the Wizard and Professor Marvel, a

85
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: couple of other people in the movie as well, and

86
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Terry the Dog played Toto. The movie was based on

87
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: the book by L. Frank Baum, published a nineteen hundred

88
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: called The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which if you hear

89
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: that name and think that sounds really familiar. L. Frank

90
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Baum was the inspiration behind the name Alphaba that we

91
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: see later in Wicked, which is also kind of the

92
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: catalyst of why I become so infatuated again with this movie,

93
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: went back and rewatched it on HBO Max. But that

94
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: is the connection between the original writer of The Wizard

95
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: of Oz and Wicked and the movie we all know.

96
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: Wasn't the first ever adaptation of the book. They came

97
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: out with the movie in nineteen ten. It was the

98
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: early silent film. They came out with a bunch of

99
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: different versions. Actually, there was also The Land of Oz

100
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: in nineteen ten, Dorothy and the Scarecrow in nineteen ten,

101
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: The Patchwork Girl of Oz in nineteen fourteen, and another

102
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: silent film released in nineteen twenty five, also called The

103
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz. And there are some differences between the

104
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: book and the movie In the book, Oz is a

105
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: real place, but in the movie it is a dream

106
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: and revealed to all be fake. And in the book

107
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: the slippers are actually silver, but they changed them to

108
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: ruby in the movie because they really wanted to emphasize

109
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: the use of technic color in The Wizard of Oz,

110
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: which I think some people think that The Wizard of

111
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: Oz was the first ever movie to use technicolor, or

112
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: maybe even the first ever movie in color, because it

113
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: as a real big part of the movie whenever it

114
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,119
Speaker 1: goes from black and white, even though it's not really

115
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: in black and white, it's a Cefia tone, which is

116
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: it's like a rich, warm, reddish brown, but it's made

117
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: to look really old, almost like if it's on a

118
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: pirate map or something. But the reason they changed the

119
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: slippers from silver to red is because they wanted to

120
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: really utilize the color in the movie. And how they

121
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: actually film that scene is everything you see in Kansas.

122
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: In that scene specifically, you see a fake set that

123
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: is that cfia color, so they actually painted it that color,

124
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: so when they filmed it, it looks like it's lacking

125
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: all color. And in that scene you actually see a

126
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: stunt double for Judy Garland, and you just see the

127
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: back of her. She opens the door steps away, and

128
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: the real Dorothy played by Judy Garland, walks through, and

129
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: as she opens the door, you see the colorful world

130
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: of Oz inside there. So that was all done in

131
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: one shot, no special effects, no green screen. I think

132
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: that is why I'm so infatuated with the making of

133
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: this movie, because it is a technical triumph seeing all

134
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: these things and how they were actually made without the

135
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: use of any commuter's way back in nineteen thirty nine,

136
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: another one of those things that kind of blew my

137
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: mind when I first found out about it, I was like,

138
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: how did they create this tornado? So they actually built

139
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: this contraption with like this big long tube and they

140
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: made it spin around and they blew a lot of

141
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: things around it, and they just filmed that scene. So

142
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: it's essentially a giant thirty five foot cloth cone wrapped

143
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: in chicken wire, suspended from this big crane, and they

144
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: attached it to a moving car to give it that

145
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: spinning effect, and then they filmed like a bunch of

146
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: debris and stuff spinning around, and they just filmed that scene,

147
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: just the tornado, and then they put Judy Garland in

148
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: front of it and just blasted that footage on a

149
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: big screen using another projector, so the background is what

150
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: you see in the movie that was already all filmed.

151
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: They just have that projected and then they have Judy

152
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: Garland on an actual set with the wind still blowing

153
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: to add that effect. So if you go back and

154
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: rewatch it, it's a little bit easier to understand how

155
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: they did that because they don't have green screens. There

156
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: was actually something being projected behind her, and then when

157
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: you add in all the other little effects, it makes

158
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: it look like she's actually running from a tornado, but

159
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: she's really just in front of some projected footage. That

160
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: is an awesome achievement in filmmaking, which a lot of

161
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: the stuff from the movie is actually copywritten, and even

162
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: though the original story of The Wizard of Oz is

163
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: now public domain, the Ruby Red Slippers are copywritten. The

164
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: Wicked Witch's appearance are also copywritten and owned by MGM,

165
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: as well as the Yellow Brick Road, the Munchkins, and

166
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: specific songs like over the Rainbow. You can't use those

167
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: without getting permission, which they actually wanted to cut Over

168
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: the Rainbow out of the movie because the movie had

169
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of different directors. I think it was about

170
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: five six that had a hand in this ten plus

171
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: riders I think twelve total, And in a cut of

172
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: the movie, they thought it was so slow and it

173
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: was going to lose the audience by keeping that song

174
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: in there, that that song was almost cut. Could you

175
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: imagine that movie without over the Rainbow, one of the

176
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: most famous movie songs of all time. All right, that's

177
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: some history of the movie. Let's get into the dark stuff. Now.

178
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: It has to do a lot with the actors put

179
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: in really harsh conditions, starting out with something as simple

180
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: as the snow. Whenever Dorothy, the tin Man, the Cowardly Lion,

181
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: and the Scarecrow all are trying to make their way

182
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: to Oz. Dorothy gets tired and decides to take a

183
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: nap in the middle of his field of flowers. Cowardly

184
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: Lion gets tired as well, and then it starts snowing,

185
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: Except that fake snow was actually asbestos. In the mid

186
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: nineteen thirties and nineteen fifties, they were still using asbestos.

187
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't until years later that they actually discovered how

188
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: hard harmful it was. But then it was too late.

189
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: Because all these actors were exposed to this carcinogenic snow.

190
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean you see them completely covered in it, probably

191
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: ate a lot of it, and just inhaling it. There

192
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: was all these things that they did that they did

193
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: not know how they were going to affect the actors.

194
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: The Wicked Witch of the West, the paint that was

195
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: used on her ended up staying on her face for

196
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: weeks because she had to be just caked in it

197
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: while making the movie, and then they couldn't get the

198
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: stuff off. There were actually two different actors who played

199
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: the tin Man, and the first original tin Man was

200
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: played by Buddy Epsen, and he was hospitalized because he

201
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: inhaled pure aluminum dust from this makeup. It cost severe

202
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: lung inflammation, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

203
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: It put him in the hospital. He was there for

204
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: two weeks and on an oxygen tent, all because of

205
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: this makeup that they used that they did not know

206
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: how it was going to affect him, should never have

207
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: been put on his skin. He was later replaced by

208
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: Jack Haley, whose makeup was reformulated into a safer paste.

209
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: You think they would have thought about that before they

210
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: put it on the first guy, but still Jack Haley

211
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: still got an eye infection from the makeup. And they

212
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: also did a really weird thing with the horses whenever

213
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: they first make it to Oz and you see them

214
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: getting that little carriage thing and they're so blown away

215
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: by this horse. I think the first one is painted

216
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: red and every time it changes scenes, the horse is

217
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: changed to a different color. So I think it's like red, yellow,

218
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: and green. But they used jello to change the color

219
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: of the horses. And again it wasn't done with special

220
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: effects or post production. They dyed these horses a different

221
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: color using jello. There were no reports on what happened

222
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: to the horses after the fact if they were okay,

223
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: hopefully because it's just jello. But again, they had no

224
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: idea what they were doing. They were just slapping things

225
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: on people, whether it was humans or whether it was animals.

226
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: The Wicked Witch of the West also got burned on

227
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: the set twice. She was trying to escape from munchkin Land.

228
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: And then it all went south. When the Wicked Witch

229
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: escapes and you see this plum of smoke where they

230
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: use this trap door, so you just see the smoke.

231
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: She goes under the door, and then you see the

232
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: fire immediately, which you would go back and rewatch that scene.

233
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: It's actually done really well the version that they used

234
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: in the film, but that was the time it went right,

235
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: because it actually went wrong. It was set off too early,

236
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: causing Margaret Hamilton's broom, hat and makeup to catch fire.

237
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: It scalded her chin, the bridge of her nose, her

238
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: right cheek, the right side of her forehead, her eyelashes,

239
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: and her eyebrows were all caught on fire and burned off.

240
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: Her upper lip and her eyelid were also badly burned.

241
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: Not only that her face, her hands were also badly burned,

242
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: and medics had to use alcohol to remove her toxic

243
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: makeup again, because then, not only have you suffered all

244
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: these burns, you have this makeup still on your skin

245
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: that you won't be able to get out for weeks.

246
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: They had to get it off her. It was all

247
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: extremely painful, and after she actually came back to work,

248
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: she was asked to film the Surrender Dorothy scene, which

249
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: also requires smoke effect. Could you imagine going back on

250
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: set where you were just badly burned and then having

251
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: to do another scene that also involved smoke effects. I

252
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. I would not knew it. So she

253
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: refused and her stunt double, Betty Danko, took over and

254
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: she also suffered a similar injury during the scene and

255
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: she was ultimately hospitalized. After her time in the hospital,

256
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: she said, I felt as though my scalp was coming off,

257
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: and she said she could only eat liquid foods after

258
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: the making of this movie, so a truly terrible set.

259
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: You have people being poisoned by makeup, being burned. It

260
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: was also a really hot set because the fact that

261
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: they were using Technicolor, they needed to have a lot

262
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: of bright lights to make sure everything was really vivid

263
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: and highly saturated. But what it turns out happens whenever

264
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of bright lights, it starts to

265
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: get really hot, and the studio made it up to

266
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: one hundred degrees in there. Because of these lights. You

267
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: had people passing out and fainting because it was so

268
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: hot in there from the lights. They actually constantly had

269
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: to stop production just so the studio could be aired out.

270
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: Because some of the people who were in costume, like

271
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: the Winged Monkeys, had these big, heavy costumes. They struggled

272
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: so much in the heat and they were passing out,

273
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: they were having heat strokes all because they had no

274
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: way of cooling down the studio from these big giant

275
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: lights making it so hot in there. One person who

276
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: suffered a lot in their big costume was the Cowardly Lion.

277
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: Bertlar played the Cowardly Lion, and in order to make

278
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: his costume, they made it really authentic, so authentic that

279
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: it was made of real lion pelts. It allegedly weighed

280
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: ninety pounds and produced a really bad, unpleasant an odor

281
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: because again it was made from real lion pelts. And

282
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: he had to be trapped in that thing all day.

283
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: So you have these big lights making it one hundred degrees,

284
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: you were in this really heavy suit, doing a lot

285
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: of physical things, just sweating in that thing. Could you

286
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: imagine how bad he's smelled by the end of filming,

287
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: and they couldn't wash the thing. How would you wash

288
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: that thing without completely wrecking it? So this movie I

289
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: believe took over six months to make. That entire time

290
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: just sweating in this thing, just Marin hating and all

291
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: the Burt Lars just juices and sweat. That's disgusting. And

292
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: not only that, he also spent three hours a day

293
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: in the makeup chair. Him, the Scarecrow, and the tin

294
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: Man all had to go through three hours of makeup,

295
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: and during those three hours of makeup, they were not

296
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: allowed to take off the rest of their costume. They

297
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: had to be fully in it while getting that done.

298
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: And like I was mentioning earlier, how much this movie

299
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: freaked me out as a kid, I saw it to

300
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: be a horror movie. I could only imagine if I

301
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: saw a scarecrow and a ten man come to life

302
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: in a really creepy fashion, I would be freaked out.

303
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: But it also freaked out the people on set that

304
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: it would scare people when they went to go eat

305
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: lunch together. So all those three main actors had to

306
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: eat their lunch on set to not freak anybody else out.

307
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: All right, So all that stuff was really bad, But

308
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: now we're getting even darker, and I wanted to save

309
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of time to get into this heavier

310
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: stuff because when you talk about Judy Garland and how

311
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: this movie made her career but also ruined her life

312
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: and all the things that were forced upon her in

313
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: order to get this character right where she was not

314
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: seen as a human whatsoever, Judy Garland was forced to

315
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: look younger because they originally wanted Shirley Temple to play Dorothy.

316
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: And again, Dorothy is a twelve year old girl, Which

317
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: why didn't they just change it? When I was rewatching

318
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: this movie, I was thinking, it really doesn't change the

319
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: fact if she's twelve or sixteen or closer to Judy

320
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: Garland's real age when she was filming this movie, which

321
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: was seventeen, why not just make her older instead of

322
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: trying to force Judy Garland to look younger. But they

323
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: did things like force her to wear a painful corset

324
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: to flatten her chest so she would look younger. They

325
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: gave her a really strict diet that included cigarettes. What

326
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: diet includes cigarettes? And I know this was back in

327
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties, where like they didn't know the harmful

328
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: effects of asbesos, they also didn't know the harmful effects

329
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: of cigarettes. But could you imagine telling a seventeen year

330
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: old here's this strict diet and here is a pack

331
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: of smokes wild And because of that strict diet, she

332
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: ended up developing a eating disorder in order to maintain

333
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: that weight. It was incredibly traumatic. There were studio execs

334
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: that referred to her as a fat little pig in pigtails.

335
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: That is what they first told her when she tried

336
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: to enter show business. And this was the diet that

337
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: she was handed immediately after she sign with MGM. That

338
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: at times she would go reach for a plate of

339
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: food and they would swiftly take it away from her,

340
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: and while filming, she would try to sneak away to

341
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: have a snack, and the other execs would inform each

342
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: other of what she was doing, and they would write

343
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: about her in memos about how she was breaking her diet.

344
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: So that's why she started developing this addiction to cigarettes,

345
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: smoking upwards of eighty cigarettes a day. She was even

346
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: forced to pop pet pills to keep her awake during

347
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: filming and also to control her appetite, so she was

348
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: given uppers during filming and then downers so that she

349
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: could shut down and get some rest. But it was

350
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: this cycle and this addiction that she formed because of

351
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: this movie that eventually led to her death. And that

352
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: is awful, And it wasn't even the things that were

353
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: surrounding her diet, but she was treated awful on set

354
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 1: from some of the directors involved in this movie, they

355
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: would slap her in the face if she started laughing

356
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: during a set. There's one in particular where it's an

357
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: interaction between her and the cowardly line, and during filming

358
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: she couldn't help herself from laughing. It's that actual exact

359
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: same scene where she slaps the cowardly lion because he's

360
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: beating up and bullying the tin man and the scarecrow,

361
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: and she broke character a little bit. And Victor Fleming,

362
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: one of the directors on the movie, slapped her during

363
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: that scene. After several ruined takes, he was exhausted, he

364
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: was getting annoyed with her. He took her aside, slapped

365
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: her on the cheek and told her, now go in

366
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: there and work. He apparently did feel terrible after this,

367
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: like how could you not feel terrible? But also don't

368
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: do it, and he suggested that someone should punch him

369
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: in the face. In return, Judy Garland overheard this. She

370
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: did forgive him, gave him a kiss on the nose.

371
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: But again, she was sixteen, seventeen years old. What was

372
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: she going to do? There was a power dynamic here

373
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: that she could not probably not forgive him, but there

374
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: is that moment if you go back and watch it,

375
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: where she's kind of trying to keep back a smile,

376
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: breaks character just a little bit, And that's all surrounding

377
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: what actually happened on set. Garland was not only treated

378
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: bad by the directors, she was also treated bad by

379
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: some of the actors on set, particularly some of the Munchkins,

380
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: which were actually a part of a singing group and

381
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: they were hired, but they were all adults, which they

382
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: were also treated unfairly. While you had the dog Toto,

383
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: which was actually paid by a dog named Terry, making

384
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five dollars a day, all one

385
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five Munchkin actors only made fifty dollars

386
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: a week. But apparently they had a lot of crazy

387
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: antics that went on both on set and OFFSET because

388
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: they were actually a part of a singing group and

389
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: they were getting screwed by the guy who managed them.

390
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: He was taking all the money, what little money they

391
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: were actually getting. On set, they were completely rude and

392
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: inappropriate towards Judy Garland and then Offset they would go

393
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: all stay in a hotel, party, do a lot of

394
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: adult things, and also aggressive and drunken behavior and gambling

395
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: and then come back to set and still be crazy

396
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: there as well. I really wouldn't know that while watching

397
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: the movie, Toto also suffered an injury. Not that dog,

398
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: but it was played by a female terrier named Terry,

399
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: and during filming, one of the Wicked Witch's Winkie guards

400
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: actually stepped on Terry and broke her paw. Terry had

401
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: to be replaced for the next four weeks of filming,

402
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: which if you actually look how good of an actor

403
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: this dog is, I could see why they had to

404
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: pay one hundred and twenty five dollars a day because

405
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: there are moments where Toto is on screen for an

406
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: extended period of time and having to do a few

407
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: different movements like running down the street is one thing

408
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: on the dirt road in Kansas, but there are other

409
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: moments that Toto is a big part of moving the

410
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: action forward, and Toto does it effortlessly. So I guess

411
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 1: worth one hundred and twenty five dollars a day. And

412
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: this is quite possibly one of the most famous urban

413
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: legends surrounding the Wizard of Oz. It is probably the

414
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: first urban legend I learned about, and maybe something that

415
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: contribut did to me having nightmares and negative thoughts around

416
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: the story of the Wizard of Oz and seeing this

417
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: as a horror movie. But this is one that actually

418
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: didn't happen, and I'll explain why. But the urban legend

419
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: is one of the Munchkin actors hung themselves and you

420
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: could see it in the background of the movie, and

421
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: they left it in because they didn't notice it at

422
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: the time. This rumor started when the movie was released

423
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: on VHS in the nineteen eighties, So, like we went

424
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: through the history earlier, came out in theaters, wasn't a success,

425
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: was shown on TV. Ten years later it was re

426
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: released in theaters, and then once VHS became more prominent

427
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties, got put on a VHS and

428
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: that is where you started to see a lot of

429
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: people start to notice things in the background, where if

430
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: ever somebody was making a movie and thought, I'll put

431
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: this in the background, nobody will notice it because you

432
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: can't pause in a movie theater. Well, once VHS came around,

433
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: people were watching things and pausing things at home, and

434
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: all these little hidden Easter eggs were starting to be discovered.

435
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: So the people who would put hidden messages or hidden things,

436
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: or maybe adult things in the background thinking this is

437
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: a joke for me, and nobody else is ever going

438
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: to see it, because it's like half a second, it's

439
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: one frame. Nobody's ever going to hit Oh, now, you

440
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: can hit pause. Now these things are going to be revealed.

441
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: So whenever this movie was released on VHS in the eighties,

442
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: the rumor was that you saw something in the background

443
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: that appeared to be something swinging down from a tree,

444
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: and people were saying that this munchkin hung themselves, that

445
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: supposedly they were going through some issues with love and

446
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: somebody not loving them back, going through a lot of

447
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: hard times, that they hung themselves on set, and that

448
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: was all captured on film and made the final cut

449
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: of the movie, which you can't see some mistakes here

450
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: and there in The Wizard of Oz. It's not uncommon

451
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: you see a mistake get left in the final cut

452
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: of a movie. That being that you see this figure

453
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: in the enchanted forest during the scene where Dorothy the

454
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: Scarecrow and the tin men are singing We're off to

455
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: see the Wizard. What is actually going on in the

456
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: background is in order to make Awez seem more like

457
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: this magical place, in order to make the forest feel

458
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: like it was alive. They had cranes, the animal African cranes,

459
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: these wild birds walking around, and you can see that

460
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: in other parts of the movie because they wanted it

461
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: to feel like the set was alive. And what you

462
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: actually see is one of these cranes in the background.

463
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 1: And when I rewatched this scene on HBO Max, it

464
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: wasn't even a question for me, because now the movie

465
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: has been restored, it's crystal clear. It doesn't look like

466
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: it was made in the nineteen thirties, and you can

467
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: tell so clearly now that it is a crane. Now

468
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: some people may say, well, they went back and fixed it.

469
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: They digitally took out that because they didn't want this

470
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: dark thing associated with the classic movie. But I saw

471
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: clear as day this crane that they borrowed from the

472
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Zoo to make the set more authentic. That

473
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: higher resolution allows you to see that. But this nineteen

474
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: eighties grainy version on VHS that wasn't restored the way

475
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: we have it now. I could see if you go

476
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: watch it on YouTube, it does look like something swings

477
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: down a little bit, but there's no way that would

478
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: make the final cut of a movie. But it is

479
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: a good urban legend to have. The claim is also

480
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: further disproven because that scene in the forest was actually

481
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: filmed months before any scene involving the Munchkins were even shot,

482
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: meaning that none of the Munchkin actors were on set

483
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: during that time. So urban legend debunked. So that is

484
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: a dark history of the Wizard of Oz. But in

485
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: order to not go out on such a low note

486
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: talking about death and all these crazy things that happened

487
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,239
Speaker 1: on set, here is just the strange coincidence. There is

488
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: a coat worn by Frank Morgan, who plays the Wizard

489
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: of Ouse and a few other characters in the movie.

490
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: The story is that during the filming of the movie,

491
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: the wardrobe department bought a coat from a thrift store

492
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: because they needed a coat for the Wizard of Oz.

493
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: He also played Professor Marvel, and while filming the movie,

494
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: they found the name L. Frank Baum sewn into the

495
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: coat's inner lining that Sam L. Frank Baum we were

496
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: talking about earlier that wrote the original Wizard of Oz,

497
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: which L. Frank Baum was born on May fifteenth, eighteen

498
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: fifty six, in New York and he died on May sixth,

499
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: nineteen nineteen in Hollywood, California. He suffered a stroke at

500
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: the age of sixty two, so we never got to

501
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: see his vision truly come to life in The Wizard

502
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: of Oz in nineteen thirty nine. But what a crazy

503
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: coincidence that they went to a thrift store to just

504
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: get a coat for the Wizard of Oz and found

505
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: out it belonged to the actual author. MGM ended up

506
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: contacting his widow, maud Gage Bomb and the Chicago taylor

507
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: who made the coat, and they confirmed that it was

508
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: authentic and it did belong to him, And the studio

509
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: was just as mind blown as you and I are

510
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: right now that they actually kept this quiet because they

511
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: thought it would be so unbelievable and that people thought

512
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: they were only using it as a publicity stunt, which

513
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: they ended up doing eventually. But what a wild coincidence,

514
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: And now seeing his movie go on to inspire so

515
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: many of their films, and now with Wicked being so

516
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: at the center of pop culture. Now, if they said

517
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: this about Wicked and they're like, we wait to go

518
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: get this coat for the Wizard of Oz, and can

519
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: you believe it that his name was also written in

520
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: this one? Then I would start not believing things. But

521
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: there it is the dark history of the Wizard of Oz.

522
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: Let's get into it now. Oh boy. Spoiler free movie

523
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: review of Five Nights at Freddy's two. This movie was torture.

524
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: I feel like if I would have had my head

525
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: smashed in with the mallet before going to see this movie,

526
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: I would have been joyed it. Because I don't understand

527
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: the appeal of this. I really don't. I tried after

528
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: I went to go see the first one and came

529
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: on here and said, not for me, this movie was bad,

530
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: and I got so much backlash from that of people

531
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: saying I never played the game, I don't understand the lore.

532
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: I went back and revisited it all, and I thought, Okay,

533
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: maybe there's something I missed here. So many people love

534
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: this so much that maybe I am the one who

535
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: is out of touch and don't understand Five Nights at

536
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: Freddy So I was actually going into this movie with

537
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: the good heart. I had a little bit more expectation

538
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: now that I understand what this movie was trying to be,

539
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: which I wanted the first one to be more of

540
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: a horror movie. I thought it was going to be

541
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 1: a little bit scary wasn't that at all, but I

542
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: was at least interested by the premise by the characters,

543
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: which it's animatronics that come to life. They are haunted.

544
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: Josh Hutcherson's character in the first one is a security guard,

545
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: which if you haven't seen the first one going into

546
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: this one, you're gonna be a little bit lost because

547
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: they do a really bad job at re establishing anything.

548
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: They make all these weird like allusions to the first

549
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: one that if you didn't see that one, you have

550
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: no idea what is going on here, And I thought

551
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: maybe in the sequel they could get at least something better,

552
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: something rreat, make it a little bit more scary. The

553
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: only good thing about this movie was Matthew Lillard. That's it.

554
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: If he wasn't in this movie, I would have left

555
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: so irritated. And I wasn't even going to see this movie.

556
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: I'll be completely upfront with you. I was going to

557
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: go watch SpongeBob, the new SpongeBob movie. I was going

558
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: to a screening, which I don't really go to those

559
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: because the movie doesn't come out until this Friday. But

560
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: I knew going into the holidays my time was a

561
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: little bit limited with traveling that, I was like, Okay,

562
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: they're having a Saturday showing at eleven am. I'm gonna

563
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: be the only single adult there to go see the

564
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: SpongeBob movie. But I love SpongeBob. I went and the

565
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: Regal had a power problem, was completely dark. When I

566
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: got there, people outside waiting and they said the screening

567
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: was canceled. I was so bummed, but luckily I was like,

568
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: I'll go see five minutes at Freddy's too. There happens

569
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: to be a showing at another movie theater about fifteen

570
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: minutes away. Hit my ticket. I got there right on

571
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: time as the last trailer was ending, and I sat

572
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: there and watched the movie. So maybe I was a

573
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: little bit not irritated but bummed out going into it

574
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: because I wanted to see Patrick and SpongeBob. I even

575
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: wore my SpongeBob vans that I haven't woren in a

576
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: really long time. I did not get to see that,

577
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: and I just could not believe how wooden all the

578
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: acting was. It had some of the worst dialogue I

579
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: have ever seen. I think, quite possibly my worst theater

580
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: experience ever, because the interactions between all the characters were awful. Awful.

581
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: Everybody in this movie was so bad. Josh Hutcheson's character

582
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: is insufferable, along with all the adults that live in

583
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: this town. And what this movie is about is basically,

584
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: there is this big fos fest happening now. There is

585
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: a reason that these animatronics are back, and Josh Hutcherson

586
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: is trying to protect his sister in the movie, Abby

587
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: from finding out the truth. He's trying to keep these

588
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: things from her. You have the love interest from the

589
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: first one back. Elizabeth Hale plays Vanessa, who actually enjoyed her.

590
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: If the movie was just about her character, maybe I

591
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: would be a little bit more interested. But I could

592
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: not believe the interactions between her and Josh Hutcherson's character

593
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: in this movie did not make sense whatsoever. There is

594
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: a point where I thought, Dude, this girl is so hot,

595
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: so out of your league, and you are being awful

596
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: to her. If that was me in that situation, I'd

597
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: be like, you're so hot, I don't care what you

598
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: tell me. Right now, I'm gonna believe you. Let's go

599
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: forget about my sister, Let's go hang out. The teacher.

600
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: Abby's teacher in this movie was so insufferable and it

601
00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: made no sense. The intro was boring and it tried

602
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: to be so chilling. And I know this movie is PG. Thirteen,

603
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: and I think the message here was supposed to be

604
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: like be nice to your parents or value your parents,

605
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: because it makes these weird kind of statements towards adults

606
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: and protecting kids. Nothing in this movie landed whatsoever. The

607
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: horror elements were bad. The updated animatronics did nothing for me.

608
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: I wanted them to take out every adult in this

609
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: town because they were so bad. So maybe it's supposed

610
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: to be like inspiration to kids that adults suck, kids rule,

611
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: We should listen to kids more. There was no redeeming

612
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: quality of this movie. The only thing I am happy

613
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: for is that some of these people are getting work

614
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: on this scale, Like Josh Hutcherson as a person and

615
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: as an actor. I root for him. The announcement of

616
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: him and Jennifer Lawrence returning to The Hunger Games is

617
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: exciting to me. I'm just happy he has worked because

618
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: after those movies ended, he was like, man, Hollywood really

619
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: choose you up and spits you out. I went from

620
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: my entire childhood of being able to land every role.

621
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: After that, I couldn't get any work. So the only

622
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: good thing I could say about this movie is that

623
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: got Josh Hutcherson out of a bad spot and it

624
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: gave him some work. But could we get the guy

625
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: some better dialogue? Could we get him some better action?

626
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: The only interesting sequence was what I have to assume

627
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: was the best interpretation they could do of the video game,

628
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: where his character actually does something. Of note, this was

629
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: essentially a lifetime horror movie where I don't know who

630
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: this is for. I don't understand the purpose of this sequel,

631
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: and I think they just killed the franchise altogether by

632
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: making another movie. What is going on with Blumhouse? Why

633
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: can they not make a good sequel? Look at what

634
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: they did to Megan earlier this year. They killed that

635
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: franchise because they took what made the first one great,

636
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: the horror elements, the scariness of Megan, leaning in a

637
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,479
Speaker 1: little bit to the humor, but still at the core

638
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: of that movie, it is a horror movie. Megan two

639
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: was so bad. I could not finish it on Peacock.

640
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: I just couldn't. I tried two to three times to

641
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: finish that, but they thought, Hey, the first one was

642
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: so good. Let's just do whatever we want. Let's not

643
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: make it a horror movie anymore. Let's make it an

644
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: action movie. Why can they not make a good sequel?

645
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 1: This was supposed to be their flagship franchise. It had

646
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: every horror movie trope you can imagine. The one I

647
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: hate the most was in this movie. I won't even

648
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: say it because I guess it's kind of a spoiler,

649
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: but there is a trope that they used in Five

650
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: Nights at Freddy's Two that every Blumhouse movie uses. Does

651
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: Jason Blum just come out of his producer chair and say, Hey, guys,

652
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: you know what this movie is missing? This trademark thing

653
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: that this studio is so proud of. Awful? Was this

654
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: movie written with Chad gbt? Because that's what it felt like,

655
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: where there was just an answer for everything. All the

656
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: way throughout this movie, I could not believe it. I

657
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: won't get into specifics about the plot, but here is

658
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: an example of a problem. Within Five Nights at Freddy's Two. Hey,

659
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: there's no key to this door. I sure wish I

660
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: could get in this door. Oh there's a key over here,

661
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: Let's open the door. Now. That was the entire movie.

662
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: Anytime there was a problem or any kind of friction,

663
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: there was an easy solution right there waiting in the corner.

664
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: That's why I feel that Chad GBT wrote the script

665
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: of this movie, because it's like, hey, create a problem,

666
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: create a solution. Here's the problem, here's the solution. Oh,

667
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: it's so easy. And I don't want to hate on

668
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: child actors, so I won't. I don't think it's the

669
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: child actor's fault in this movie. It has to be

670
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: the direction because some of the weakest performances I've ever

671
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: seen on screen. I was so let down and I

672
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: don't even know why I had any kind of expectation

673
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 1: going into it. But like I mentioned earlier, I wanted

674
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: to go see the SpongeBob movie. I did not get that.

675
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: And the entire time I had that SpongeBob character in

676
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: my head. Oh brother, this guy stinks. That is how

677
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: I felt from beginning to end. There were moments where

678
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: these actors were talking to themselves for no reason. I'm like,

679
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: who are they talking to? Overstating things for no reason, like, oh,

680
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: that must be where she is? Who are you talking to? Bro? Goodness,

681
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: this is hands down my worst in theater experience of

682
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: the year. Normally I take some time to collect myself

683
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: whenever I get back from watching a movie, but I

684
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: sat down immediately. I don't even think I looked at

685
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: my notes that I made, Like why do I even

686
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: need them? Week Opening The Adults suck worst dialogue Blumhouse

687
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: is just bad. Josh Hutchinson's character is a terrible guardian,

688
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: like he's supposed to be watching his sister and he's

689
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,959
Speaker 1: just awful at that video game s dialogue, which maybe

690
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: that is what they got right. It felt like just

691
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: cut scenes from a video game, and I just can't

692
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: imagine them being on set and delivering this dialogue. Seriously, like,

693
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: how did they do that? Did they think there was

694
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 1: a good movie in there? How was this even made?

695
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: How has this approved? How did this go out into

696
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: the world. I feel so bad for the people who

697
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: were actually excited for this movie. And I know people

698
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: are gonna sound off in the comments and say how

699
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: wrong I am, how boomer I am, how dumb I

700
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: am for my opinions on this movie. But I don't

701
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: get it. I wish I got it. Do you think

702
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: I want to waste my afternoon watching a movie that

703
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: is so bad. The only redeeming thing I can say

704
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: is that next time I go back to the theater,

705
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: I am going to watch the SpongeBob movie for five

706
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: nights at Freddy's. How low can you go? I mean,

707
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: I didn't leave. I watched the entire thing. By the

708
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: time the credits rolled, I was like, this could not

709
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: have come soon enough. At least it was under an

710
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: hour and forty minutes for five nights Freddy's. I give

711
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: it one out of five animatronics. Get it out of here.

712
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,479
Speaker 1: It's time to head down to movie Mike Traylor, Paul

713
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: all right, it is time to blind react to the

714
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: Supergirl trailer. At the time of recording this, it was

715
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: posted on YouTube one hour ago. I literally just got

716
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: home from work. I didn't open up Instagram, I didn't

717
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 1: open up TikTok. I didn't want to see a single

718
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: second of it until I sat down right now, because

719
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: the last time I did this was for the Superman trailer.

720
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: I just wanted to give you my raw reaction of

721
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: me seeing David Corn sweat in the suit for the

722
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: first time. And the only reason I'm moderately excited going

723
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: into this one is because I don't know a whole

724
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: lot about the Supergirl character and her origins, but I

725
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: am curious to know more Millie Adcock is playing Supergirl.

726
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: I feel like most people know her from House of Dragon.

727
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: I can never get into that show. Sorry out so slow.

728
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: I never got through season one. I primarily know her

729
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: from Sirens, which was a Netflix show she did with

730
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: Megan Fahi that started out really good and interesting and

731
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 1: kind of went nowhere. But the thing I took away

732
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: from that show is she is a good actor. There

733
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: are a lot of things going on now with Warner

734
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: Brothers being bought by Netflix, which James Gunn is saying

735
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: that it's not affecting their plans, and then putting out

736
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: this trailer now which we did know we were going

737
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: to get it before Christmas came that it looks like,

738
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: at least now they're going to be separate and we're

739
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: not going to see anything too crazy. I wonder if

740
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: that is going to change over time, because obviously when

741
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: you have these two things merging, Warner Brothers, HBO Max

742
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: and Netflix becoming one, what is going to happen. Some

743
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: people are worried that it's not going to come out

744
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: in theaters. Traditionally some people are saying if Superman came

745
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: out straight to streaming, it would have been just as big.

746
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: So we'll get into more of that. But now I

747
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: want to hit play on this trailer. We'll watch it,

748
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: I'll talk about it. I'm looking at the runtime now.

749
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: It is two minutes and three seconds, so I'm just

750
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: gonna let it run. You'll hear my little commentary in

751
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: the background. If something big happens, if we see some

752
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: characters that maybe we're not expecting. But we'll watch it together. Here,

753
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: I'll come back. I'll get more of my thoughts on

754
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: what is going on with DC, how we see this

755
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: playing into their first chapter. All right, I'm clicking into it. Now,

756
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: turn it up. Let's full screen this thing and let's

757
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: watch the Supergirl trailers. Be crypto. Here. I manage to

758
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: get most of it on the paper of this sign.

759
00:40:46,120 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: Let's catch up, buddy, Hi, cars are out here by.

760
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: It is clear the twenty three will be the best

761
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: year at Let's be honest, babe, it's not a very

762
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: high Barty clear, I didn't know any of you was

763
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: still alive. What was it like, Sluice? Everything in the

764
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: day her time didn't die to day gods are not

765
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: that kind. Okay, this does not look like this is

766
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: gonna end well for you guys. Okay, house like you. No,

767
00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: it's a pretty small group of two. A vision. He

768
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: sees the good in everyone, and I see the truth. Ooh.

769
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: The suit he sees the good, She sees the truth. Okay, okay,

770
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: all right. A media thing that sticks out to me

771
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: is the suit. It looks fantastic just in the thumbnail alone.

772
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: It greatly mirrors the David Cornsweat suit, but it stands

773
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: out so much of anything we've seen from a female

774
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: led superhero movie that that is exciting to me. The

775
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: fact that she has the same powers as Superman, and

776
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 1: even what she said in the trailer of Superman sees

777
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: the good and everybody she sees the truth, that just

778
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: tells you the difference in their personalities. You see what

779
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: her character has gone through, why she has troubles with alcohol.

780
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: Beginning of this trailer, you see her basically looking dead

781
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: in the eyes, lifeless. There's that scene where it looks

782
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: like she's sitting down at like a train station or

783
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: like a bus station, and you see like the wind

784
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: blow in her hair and she just doesn't react. To it.

785
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: You just see her shades, which that is a fantastic visual.

786
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: And then in this trailer we are learning about her history,

787
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: which seems to be pretty dark. She is responding to

788
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: the evil things that she has experienced in her life

789
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: and the awful things of the gods destroying her home.

790
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: In that trailer, we heard them say losing her home

791
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: in one day. She's like, no, the gods wouldn't be

792
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: that nice. So it seems to be that the people

793
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: who destroyed her home did it slow and painfully. And

794
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 1: immediately I'm getting a lot of Guardians of the Galaxy vibes,

795
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: which I think anytime you have a character like that

796
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: who maybe likes to party a little bit, maybe is

797
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 1: a little bit messy, has a bit of an edge

798
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: to them, and you put them in this cosmic universe

799
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: that looks very play and while she is so I

800
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 1: don't want to say upbeat, but a little bit comical,

801
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: and you see the villains that she is going after

802
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 1: are so serious and big and dead pin and bulky.

803
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: There is that contrast that you create that just lends

804
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: itself to looking just like what James Gunn did with

805
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 1: the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and if you're gonna

806
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: rip off something, rip off the people who did it

807
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: the best, and also rip off the person the director

808
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: James Gunn, who knows that universe, which he isn't directing

809
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: this movie, but he still has a big hand in

810
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: it and can give our director here, Craig Gilepsi, some

811
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: insight on that. But I'll go through the YouTube description now.

812
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 1: When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home,

813
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: Kara zor l aka Supergirl reluctantly joins forces with an

814
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 1: unlikely companion on an epic interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.

815
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: That is what I'm getting the sense of here, where

816
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: she starts out maybe not caring about life, not care

817
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: about herself, which we see that a bit from her

818
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 1: character in Superman, kind of being one that just kind

819
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: of stumbles into a room, doesn't care about timelines, doesn't

820
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: care about anything. But just because she doesn't have her

821
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: life together does not mean that she is not powerful,

822
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: because I know there's going to be that moment in

823
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: this movie. We see a little bit here from one

824
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: of the fight sequences where she really turns it on,

825
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: and that is going to be a moment where heads

826
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: start to roll. And not only am I excited for

827
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: this movie, I don't want to get too ahead of myself,

828
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: but I can't wait until we go next level and

829
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: it is Superman and Supergirl fighting together because they contrast

830
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: each other so much, where they both come from similar backgrounds.

831
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: But maybe it's just one day or how your life

832
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: is determined by how you react to situations where if

833
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: they both had something really traumatic happen to them, like

834
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: their home planet being destroyed, which they are cousins, one

835
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: of them reacts in a way like Superman, I'm still

836
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: gonna find the good in people. I'm still going to

837
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: do what is right, and one of them responds like Supergirl,

838
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: who says, no, people are awful and I want to

839
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: expose the truth in people, and it exposed them for

840
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: the true villains that they actually are. I am gonna

841
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: go out and defeat those people. I can't wait to

842
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 1: see those two forces join up and start beating people

843
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: up together and having differences in how to go about

844
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: doing these things. I would have to imagine Superman has

845
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: a no kill policy. He's not gonna kill anybody. He'll

846
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: hurt people, he'll throw people every now and then if

847
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: he gets really mad. Someone tells me Supergirl wouldn't mind

848
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: seeing some people go down and maybe doesn't have those

849
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: same morals of it really awful. I'm gonna kill you.

850
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 1: But alongside Lily Adcock as Supergirl, we also have Jason

851
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 1: Momoa is gonna be in this movie. He is gonna

852
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: be Lobo, who is an alien mercenary and a bounty

853
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: hunter from another planet. Alongside this cast you also have

854
00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: supergirls father, Supergirl's mother. We didn't get any unexpected that cameos.

855
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: I don't think David Cornsweat is going to be in

856
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: this movie at all, even though in this trailer you

857
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: do see her or at least in front of her

858
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 1: a newspaper, so she is still getting news stories about

859
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: her cousin doing good things, about him stopping a nuclear

860
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: reactor and also saving cats and trees, so he's still

861
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: saving the little animals, but her, on the other hand,

862
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: is still a cynical drunk. Supergirl in this movie is

863
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: also going to be twenty three years old, so that

864
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: also gives you kind of a state of mind, or

865
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: at least where she is in her brain development and

866
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: how a twenty three year old with superpowers would act

867
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: in the situation, and I think that is great, that

868
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: is important. I think we haven't seen a character like

869
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: this in a really long time, especially one to have

870
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: such a big movie coming out that is really going

871
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 1: to be one of the major tent poles of DC

872
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: and Warner Brothers next year. We got to look at

873
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: our villain, Krem, who is going to be the main

874
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: protagonist in this movie. Aside from the suit, I really

875
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: love it. They actually showed her heat vision in this,

876
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: which is something I wish we would have had a

877
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: little bit more of in Superman. There's a lot of flying,

878
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: but I need more heat vision. And I also imagine

879
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 1: at the very beginning of this and throughout the trailer,

880
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 1: they kind of hint towards something not great happening to Crypto.

881
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,240
Speaker 1: I don't even want to say it, because I think

882
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: he was a big part of the comedic relief and

883
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: just the heart aside from Superman of course, but something

884
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of people were drawn to

885
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: in that first movie. If they wanted to go next

886
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: level and do something memorable but tragic, I have to

887
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: imagine it is going to be pulling in our heartstrings

888
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: and something happening to Crypto. I don't want to see that,

889
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: But this is a character who has already dealt with

890
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: a lot of loss by losing her home. If they

891
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: take away Crypton, could they take away Crypto? I think

892
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: I just love that level of cynicism. And maybe it's

893
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: just because I'm becoming a little bit more cynical as

894
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: I grow older. I kind of see it from her

895
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: perspective of having a cynical outlook on the world, especially

896
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: when destructive things are going on at this level. I'm in.

897
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm all about it. Supergirl is coming out next year

898
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: on June twenty sixth, twenty twenty six. Thanks for joining

899
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 1: me on this blind reaction. And that was this week's

900
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: edition of Movie Li Famer Bar and that is going

901
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: to do it for another episode of the podcast. But

902
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: before I go, I got to give my listeners shout

903
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: out of the week. This week, I'm shouting out my

904
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: buddy Sean Stenson, who tagged me on his Instagram story

905
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: that I was his most listened to podcast of twenty

906
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: twenty five. So appreciate that. Sean. Shawn and I actually

907
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 1: go way back, I think to maybe two thousand and five,

908
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 1: two thousand and four. The fact that that was twenty

909
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: years ago now about it be twenty one years ago

910
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: is wild. But Sean and I were both members of

911
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: the Alkalan Trio fan Club back in the day. I

912
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: still remember the day I got in the mail my

913
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 1: official fan club card. I still have it in my wallet.

914
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of broken into pieces now, But there was

915
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: a core group of people that I only knew from

916
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: the internet, and Sean was one of those people who

917
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: I've kept up with now over the years, and I

918
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 1: think we've only met and hung out once. And I'll

919
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: be honest, Sean, seeing you tag me in your story,

920
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: that was the first time I even knew you listened

921
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: to this podcast. So thank you for making your number

922
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: one podcast and telling other people about the show. So

923
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: really appreciate that. If I made anybody else's top podcast

924
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: of the year, tag me in those stories and I'll

925
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: repost those and make you next week's listener shout out

926
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: of the week. So thank you all for listening, whether

927
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,759
