It came up on my feed. 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.240 I've wanted to watch some of the older kind of movies. Yeah, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.840 this one popped up. I knew nothing about it, and 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.520 I was like, let's do this one. And I'm glad 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.520 I did, because what a film. It was originally broadcast 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.600 as a two part episode of Disney's Wonderful World. That 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.280 is a first for us, and they aired them a 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.080 week apart, so part one was on December twenty first, 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.360 and part two was on the twenty eighth of nineteen eighty. 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.360 Nineteen eighty was a tough year, but we'll get into 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.760 that later. The movie was filmed at the Banning House, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.760 which is a historic Greek Revival Victorian home in the 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.920 Wilmington section of Los Angeles. It was originally built in 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.680 eighteen sixty three by an early Los Angeles pioneer. 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.080 And you know it's early when. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.679 The first name is Phineas Phineas Banning, you know that 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.880 we are talking about a while ago. It is now 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.720 a museum that has been designated a California Historic Landmark 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.479 as well as federally listed on the National Registry of 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.960 Historic Places. And none of that is for being the 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.480 filming location for the Ghosts of Buxley Hall. 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.360 It also just happened to be filmed there. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.200 This is obviously the building itself is a big important 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.840 set piece, so the movie is basically shaped around the 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.320 entire building. In addition to the double broadcast, it was 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.600 released on wait for it, folk, and you're gonna have 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.359 to google this a lot of you listening on something 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.560 called VHS in nineteen eighty in the eighties as part 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.160 of the very popular Walt Disney Home Video line, which 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.480 a lot of people remember. And then in twenty twelve 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.680 it was released on DVD, which is another digital video disc. 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.000 Some people don't even know what that is anymore, as 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.720 a Disney Movie Club exclusive, only available to club members, 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.200 making the physical copy a bit of a collector's item. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.400 And oh yes, you gotta love this. Turner Classic Movies 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.200 aired it back in twenty fifteen as part of their 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.400 Treasures from the Disney Vault series. But now, folks, and again, 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.159 you're welcome. It is on Disney Plus to watch, so 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:39.920 you can go watch it now before we get into it, 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:41.040 or just wait till we're done. 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.480 Neither's rude. We're not gonna judge it either way. I'm 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:43.839 gunn you. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:45.720 I'm actually gonna judge you, and not even silently. I'm 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.280 gonna come to your house and just openly judge you. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.280 Does this movie, involving characters from the Civil War era, 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.520 depict sexism and thinly veiled racism? 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.000 Uh huh, yeah, yeah, sure does one hundred percent. 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:03.680 Have we now hit our third Disney movie that involves drinking. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.000 Yes, yes, certainly have. 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.839 But in all fairness, we don't have any deaths from DUIs, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.159 which will stay solely with Susie Q for now, which 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.760 holds the I think most characters killed. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.120 In the beginning of a Disney movie trophy. 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.280 Uh we have more, Yes, yes, we had them. That 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.760 was the whole thing. At Tower or Tair, we lost 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:23.520 four people. 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.000 Oh my god, we lost the whole cast. 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:25.960 You're right, seconds in. 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.080 I take it back ninety seconds in and the entire 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:29.839 cast is killed. 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.880 You're one hundred percent the entire cast is gone, jeez, 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:33.600 well remembered. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.560 And it was shot in nineteen eighty so similarly to 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.440 the Leftovers, the footage does look like it's being projected 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.120 from a VHS tape that was bathed in mud on 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.960 the back of a broken burlap sack that you found 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:45.600 in your basement. 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.599 But hey, that is the era. And not trying to 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:49.040 color our. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:50.839 Own feelings here, but this is one of the more 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:54.360 dismally rotten Tomato scores we've received for any movie so far. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.240 It is twenty eight percent. I think that was a 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.279 little harsh, but that's we'll get into that. But again, 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.240 they should not sway us either way. And first Arena, 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:03.919 I think I can guess the answer to this. But 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.280 I'm not even gonna ask if you knew about the 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.679 Ghost of Bucksley Hall. I'm just gonna say, how much 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.440 did you know about the Ghost of Bucksley Hall? 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.800 One of your favorite films of all time? Before the podcast? 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:14.160 Nothing. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.040 I was actually excited because I grew up, you know, 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.280 at my grandparents' house watching kind of Western movies, you know, 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.400 war type stuff, and so I was kind of excited 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:28.680 for it from the poster, not anything that I thought 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.240 it was gonna end up being where it takes us immediately, 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.640 with the amount of children that are in the movie, Like, 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.840 I just was not expecting that at all. 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.480 No, I was thinking more John Wayne. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:43.640 Really for a Disney movie, it's any kids, Hey, maybe 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.640 he would want to do something kind of like that. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.040 I don't know, you know, but I just I mean, 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:52.440 from the poster itself, I was shocked when it started 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.360 to reveal what this movie was gonna be. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:57.920 I think that's so funny. 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.160 I had not heard of this movie. I again, I know, 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.880 old timey movie, which is so horrible to say. In 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.440 nineteen eighty I was four, but I wanted to watch 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:08.400 an old school movie. 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.040 That's what are the joys of this podcast. 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.840 When we first started this podcast, I didn't want to 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.480 just do awesome new movies like Zombies and and you know, Descendants. 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.240 I wanted to go back and see kind of where 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.120 it all started. So yes, unfortunately, one of the things 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.720 that we're running into, and this is a deal we've 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.680 made with ourselves, with the producers and also with our audience, 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.520 is that We're not gonna watch any movie that is 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:33.199 so difficult to find that Hey, we got one random 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.240 copy of a VHS that you and I shared and 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:36.560 nobody can watch along with us. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:37.320 We're not gonna do that. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.960 So we're gonna we're watching even the old ones. We 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.160 find our movies that are accessible to our to our audience. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.360 So Ghost to Bucksley Hall popped up. I'm like, this 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.800 is perfect. It's right there on Disney Plus, it's got 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:51.080 a great poster. Let's get into it. 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.560 It's so interesting to me though, that it did get 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.600 such a low score, knowing that it's on Disney Plus 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.520 and all the things that it was brought back and 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.760 the Disney Club often, Yeah, all that stuff into to 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.960 see that it got like a low rating is interesting 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.360 that they would then, I mean, you know, but maybe 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.600 at the time it didn't get that kind of rating 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.360 right that to me, it was more of a newer 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.440 rating system from it wasn't happening in the eighties. 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.840 Also, and we can we can address this right at 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.480 the top. I am forty eight years old. This movie 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.120 to me, this the quality of this movie, the acting 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.560 in this movie, the look of this movie, all of 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.160 this is exactly the type of movie I would watch 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.719 when I was eleven or twelve years old. Okay, so 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.880 this was like the dcom of its day for me. 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.800 Were these kind of movies like the one we watched 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.920 was sean Aston where they they're at the military base. 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.960 The other one we watched, Yes, like movies like that 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.400 were the movies that I grew up watching. So this 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.480 looked like my kid kind of movie. All right, this 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.480 was my Descendants, not this movie specifically, but the look 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.839 of this kind of movie. These are like my kind 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.680 of Descendants. So I was I was excited. 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.880 I gonna need you to pull back from comparing it 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:03.640 to Descendants. 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:04.520 I know exactly. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.800 Wow, I met in that they're both movies with actors, 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.520 which is probably where where the where that stops? 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:13.800 But starts and stops. 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:14.600 It's true. 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.079 All right. So before we chug some wine from the 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.599 bottle we're hiding in the library, let's get into the synopsis. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.199 The ghostly founders of a military academy try to undo 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.840 a merger with a girls school, girls EH and save 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.040 their legacy, while some family members of a newly orphaned 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.640 student have ulterior motives for trying to gain his custody 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.640 and if even the synopsis was confusing, wait until we 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:37.960 get into the film. 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.880 Early thoughts, Sabrina, what did you think? 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.160 I want you to know this is one of my 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:44.800 spring seas. But it just has to be said right 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.160 from the start. As soon as the trumpet started playing, 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.720 I rolled my eyes and was like, I hate you will. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.840 Started. The second the trumpet starts playing, I'm like, oh God, 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.600 oh God, here we go. And it did it much 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.960 farther up from that, but that's all right. 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.080 I thought much differently about this film. This is the 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:13.200 best movie we see. No you know what again brought me. 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.880 The style of film brought me right back to my childhood. 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:21.240 The big cartoony acting, Yeah, kind of one two three, 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.839 blocking of everything stand here, I will shoot you with 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.160 camera brought me right back to the movies that I 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:26.760 grew up watching. 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.120 Yeah, I think I had a much more nostalgic field thing. 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:29.480 Yeah. 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.120 The nostalgic field for me again felt like I was 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.480 sort of kind of back at my grandparents house, staying 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.640 over for the weekend, and this is the movie that 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:37.800 we sat down and watched. 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:38.640 You know, I forget. 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.480 By the way, how old were you in nineteen eighty none? 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.120 Yeah, you were nine years old. That's what I thought. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.719 I was nine years old here none you had your 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.719 non birthday that year, you is my non birthday? Yeah, yay, 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.080 but same though. But honestly, that was what I was 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.520 watching when I was going to my grandparents' house. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:57.720 That was like again, the. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.240 Look and the feel of all of it, that costume, 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.240 the like you said, the acting, the very over. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:05.280 The top acting. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.400 I think when I if I had watched this at 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.120 sitting on there, you know, the floor of their family room, 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.840 I probably would have been cracking up because I loved 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.000 that when I was little, that kind of acting was 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.600 so funny to me. Just yeah, And then my grandparents 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.360 would crack up because they loved when I did my 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:22.440 belly giggle. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:23.800 Like that kind of stuff was really fun of me. 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:25.200 That's what. So I agree. 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.240 But the trumpet plane, it's they just got me right 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:27.960 into that life. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:29.280 Damn you for. 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:31.400 Nice. 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.920 This movie was directed by Bruce Bilson, a high profile 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.640 TV director from the sixties and the seventies, working heavily 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.360 on Oh and now I'm I'm going to say, folks, 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:45.040 some television shows and stuff with our actors, directors, everything 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.480 we're doing here that we really need to get into 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.480 because it is some of my favorite things of all times, 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.600 so working heavily on Get Smart, which you want an Emmy, 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.320 four Hogan's Heroes, The Odd Couple and Mash my favorite 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.840 show of all time. And a fun fact about Bilson 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.319 Slash as hr Nightmare. Just months after filming the Ghost 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.719 of Bucksley Hall, he would end up marrying actress Renee Jarrett, 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.320 who played Miss Emily Wakefield and then only acted maybe 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.000 one or two more times after this and they are 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:17.720 still married to Wow since nineteen eighty If you do 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.679 the math, that's almost twenty years ago in my head. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:22.040 Anyway. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.640 Movie stars Dick O'Neil as General. It's supposed to sound 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.720 like Ulysses, but it's Ulis d Bucksley. O'Neill is best 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.360 known for his roles in the original Taking a Pelm, one, two, three, 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.920 and The Jerk, but was also a massive veteran of TV, 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:41.880 appearing on everything from Three's Company to Mash two, Boy 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.880 Meets World, Yes, Wow, Alan and Eric by Alan, Eric 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.600 and Amy really by the Wilderness store Front. Then you 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.360 got Victor French played Sergeant Major Chester b. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:51.880 Sweet. 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.720 French was the star of Highway to Heaven, Little House 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.800 on the Prairie where he played Isaiah Edwards. They were 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.960 both totally iconic roles and amazing television shows, but he 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.800 appeared in so much more, including Gun Smoke, Bonanza, and Tarzan. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.840 This is one of the reasons why I love doing 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.679 older movies because these actors were in some of the 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.960 most influential television movies of all time. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:14.240 So cool. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:19.560 Louise Latham, another huge just banger, played Bettina Bucksley, and 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.480 she was seen in classic movies like Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie, 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.880 The Philadelphia Experiment, and basically every TV show over the era, 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:30.400 including The Waltons and The Six Million Dollar Man. My brother, 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.960 by the way, little off story, until he was nine 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.720 years old, didn't ever run without going no no no 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.280 no no no no no no no no no no 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.240 no no no no, no no no. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.240 Which is how The Six Million Dollar Man ran. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.600 So he would literally run in slow motion while doing 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.560 the own sound effects for himself until he was like. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.240 No, that is the cutest thing I have ever. 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.240 Until you're in a race, and then it's awful. 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.920 The three of them played the ghosts of the movie 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.400 and were all established amazing workers in Hollywood at the time. 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.120 Then we've got Monty Markham, who plays Colonel Joe Bucksley, 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.400 also a big TV mainstay on things like Dallas, The 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.760 Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and so many more. But most importantly, 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.840 he would appear on over forty episodes of Baywatch as 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.520 Captain Don Thorpe. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:12.760 They've just been in all the greatest stuff ever. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.000 Baywatch a classic for you. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.400 It is, well, you know the funny thing. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.680 So we just had Kelly Packard on Podmets World and 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.560 I told her I've known her for years. I've never 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.400 seen a single episode of Baywatch in my entire life. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:28.080 Wow. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.600 I never seen a single episode of Baywatch. Isn't that true? 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:31.080 Wow? 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:32.520 Well, I know never. 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:37.320 Vito Scotti played the ridiculous Count Sergio Luceesi di Gonzini, 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.520 And this guy was in so much great stuff. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.120 He played Nazarene and The Godfather, big kind of film. 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:44.480 Wow. 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.320 And he was one of the voices in Disney's The Aristocrats. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:48.160 So cool. 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:50.960 There's also a bunch of child actors that went on 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.560 to do other things. We'll talk about them a little 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.840 bit later. Because the kids didn't play as big a 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:56.320 role in this as I thought they were going to. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.200 For a Disney movie They kind of came and went, 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.760 but here we go. The mo movie, when set as 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.200 just one part instead of the two parts Broken Up, 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:08.960 is ninety two minutes too off from the celebrated Bullseye. 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.160 It was written by cy Gomberg, who was an outspooken 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.840 activist against quote gratuitous and unpunished violence unquote in movies 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:17.200 and TV. 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:19.520 Sounds like he'd be fun to hang with that parties. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.600 He also won the nineteen fifty one OSCAR for Best 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.640 Story with When Willie Comes Marching Home, and again that 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.480 same year he was nominated for Best Screenplay with Summerstock, 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.920 starring Judy Garland and Gene Kelly Man. He left us 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:34.600 in two thousand and one, but I'm sure he will 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.920 be rolling over in his grave as I also mentioned 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.840 that he wrote an episode of Small Wonder, which, next 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.280 to Mama's Family, might be the worst sitcom of all time. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.160 Oh that was a tough one to get through, and 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:49.960 he shared the credit with Rick Middleman. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.000 Like most people involved in this movie, Middleman was a 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.360 TV veteran with scripts on Mash, Karen mcgever and Welcome 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.560 Back Codter, Welcome Back, Miss got it? 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.080 Okay, did you get any of what I just said, Srina. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:04.639 You didn't get any of those references, did. 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:05.639 You, mister Carter? 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.440 Yes, you watched Welcome Back Carter? 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.040 I did.
