It is on the level of stupid. Yes, 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:13.520 it is Airplane. It is the movie Airplane. It's very 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.720 much you know, as we said last episode sending up, 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:24.320 you know these screwball parody comedies of the seventies, and 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:29.240 it really is if a drag race acting challenge was 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:30.480 ninety minutes long. 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:31.960 That is the movie. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:36.480 Yes, and much like a drag race acting challenge, about 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.599 forty percent, about fifty percent of the jokes were like 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.000 so stupid and no one laughed. And then the other 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.640 fifty percent of the jokes were the funniest thing I've 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:52.400 ever heard ever ever, like just like such dies, such 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:59.880 niche gay jokes, and like, yes, it is, like again, 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.960 it's a drag race acting challenge. It's a storm Agonza. 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.039 It's a storm got that one? 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.039 The storm Agonza really got you when you find out 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.720 that the storm that the train is going into is called, 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.440 in fact, a storm Agonza. And they open up like 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:19.320 an old book is I guess we should explain the 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.320 quote unquote plot film. 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:22.240 So there's a. 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:28.960 Training so Jujubi and Gingermine, who are the stars were 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:30.080 the stars on the films? 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.360 Who we were? Who we were sitting directly behind, directly behind? 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:34.279 Uh? 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:39.000 They are d d and tests tests. 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:45.760 They are two Dumby trained stewardesses who work on stank railway, 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.160 and they're very jealous of the you know, more glamorous 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:58.400 uh Glamizonian Express uh train attendance and are able to 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:05.760 kind of hoodwink themselves onto a Glamazonian train. But that 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:13.160 just happens to coincide with a storm Agonza setting down somehow. 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:13.680 In the middle of the country. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.000 I don't know how hurricanes are supposed to make landfall 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:20.760 that far in, but whatever, and they so the train 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.880 has to be stopped before it crashes into the Storm 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:24.760 of Ganza. 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.560 Into the Storm Agonza, And there are many kind of 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.039 twists and turns that this that the train takes like 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:33.680 into like a haunted tunnel, and other things that it 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:34.719 won't spoil for you. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:40.799 Yes, things fly across the screen. RuPaul plays the President. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.040 RuPaul made a surprise appearance at the screening. There had 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.159 been a bunch of speeches, the movie was about to start, 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.120 and then we hear RuPaul on a mic off stage. 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:54.560 He comes out and spends five minutes I would I 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.960 would say, not really knowing where he. 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:02.320 Was, nor to mind, trying to find his friend PJ. Well. Well, 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.040 the first one of the first things he said, I 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.840 believe is like it's so great to be here in 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:07.839 Los Angeles. 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:08.520 Angeles. 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.960 He definitely did not know what city he was in 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.960 and looking he was looking for his friend PJ over 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.960 the mic. And let me be clear, at first, when 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.840 he started doing this, I was like, Oh, maybe he's 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:19.440 going to say, like, PJ. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.200 Is you know, was my assistant. 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.720 Or like JA played up an important part of. 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.880 The role, was one of the writers or something. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.320 I have a surprise to announce you. 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.440 No, PJ is just RuPaul's friend who was in the 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.560 audience who RuPaul wanted to say hi to, and. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.360 As and as we're said to us, they used to 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.120 be close and they're not that close now. 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.680 And you know, of course the only way they could 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:49.360 connect is for RuPaul to use I would say fifty 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:53.640 percent of his time before the screening of his feature 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:58.000 film to say hi to PJ. Also talk about sort 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.760 of how in demand he is in Hollywood. Just kept 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:02.920 being like, oh, well, I'm always being flown around the 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:04.960 world to set and then he like cackled. 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:05.920 It was very funny. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.600 Yeah, And he also kept kind of being like, Okay, 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.320 so did I do it? Did I fulfill my requirement? 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.720 I felt like a traffic cruel obligation. Can someone guess 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.040 off forehead? 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.679 Oh my god, it was so funny. I loved seeing 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:23.520 her in person. 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.720 I've never been in the same room as Ruaul before. 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.720 It was really very exciting. Well, you know, famously that 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.240 I've given a present I've I've you know, presented like 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.000 two slides of a presentation to rue Paul before, Yes, 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.920 at Netflix, and he did laugh at a joke that 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.280 I made the loudest that he laughed the entire meeting. 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.959 I yeah, okay, So that's the plot of the movie. 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:55.200 There are a plethora of cameos. I think the best 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.800 I would say the best player in the ensemble, hands down, 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:01.800 Laterrece Royale. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.440 Oh yeah, but I wouldn't call that a cam media right. 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.640 She played mart because she's she's part of the drag 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.480 Race universe and she writes okay character in the film. 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.960 I really liked the running gag with Sarah Michelle Geller 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.960 that she always thinks people are about to like talk 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.960 about some you know thing they love her from, and 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.800 actually no one knows who she is and fucking hates her. 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.079 That was a cute little recurring bit. 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.560 Yeah, there were a bunch there were I mean, it's like, 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.440 if you can think of someone who has guest judged 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.480 on drag Race, they were probably in this movie. 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.800 If you can think of somebody that is in the 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:44.440 kind of like contacts in the contacts app of the 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:48.520 phone of Fenton Bailey or Randy Barbados. 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.240 Who were also the screening fathers. 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:54.120 They are literally Aristotle and Plato like creat writing the 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:59.240 scrolls are like their God and Adam in that painting 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:04.240 the creation of man touching fingers. If we're not counting 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.880 drag Race Stiva's, then I would say my favorite cameo 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.720 was actually Missy Pile. I thought she was lovely. 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:17.000 Missy Pile is such an amazing comedic character actor who 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.440 has appeared in so many movies and TV shows. My 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.800 favorite of her roles are either interesting in The Puzzycats. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.880 Or in MA I don't want to be a bitch, but. 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.559 This is a safe space. This is an unsafe space. 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:35.720 I can be a bit. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.679 I didn't know who Rachel Bloom was, so I didn't. 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:40.240 She drove so much of the movie. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:41.880 She was she had a big role. 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.800 She thought she could have it could have been, we 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:45.680 could have rearranged it. 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.839 She's like the the the dumpy woman who works at 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.920 the center of like transportation who's trying to help them train. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.040 I think it's train's headquarters. 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:55.360 Yeah. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.319 And Rachel Bloom is someone. 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.520 Who I I know who she is. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.079 And I'm I've definitely like seen her in a guest 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.200 role in something before. But the thing that she's the 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:10.320 most famous for, which is this show My Crazy Ex Girlfriend, 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.880 which was a musical on the CW I believe, and 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.360 she's I've heard, yeah, And she's really talented. She has 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.280 a great voice. She like wrote the show. I think 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.679 she wrote all the music too. Yeah, I like I 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:23.559 thought she was. 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:24.400 Good in the movie. 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.600 I do kind of agree like it. It maybe was 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:32.360 an opportunity for like a gag year actor. But you know, 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.679 she's kind of like of I would say, of the 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:42.240 the pool of you know, like drag Racegution celebrities. You know, 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.080 she's like she's like solid and like she she was 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.800 there to act, like she was there to perform. She 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.680 she didn't like she wasn't like pulling focus like Charro. 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.800 You know, she was able. She's like she's like enough 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.480 of a working actress that she was able to disappear 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:57.120 into the role. 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:57.840 Right. 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:02.560 And I will also say I thought Juju Bei was amazing. 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:07.520 Jujubi carried the film. Jujubi is charamedic genius. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.160 She like her and Ginger were a great two hander. 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.320 I thought Juju was essentially the the if you were 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.960 she saw the movie. Yeah, and her the stakes of 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.000 her in relation to all the different elements of the film, 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.920 like that, to me was the biggest center and that 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.760 she also gets to be the the kookie one while 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.040 Ginger is kind of playing the straight man. 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.040 Yeah, well you know, not straight. And also Ginger. 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.920 I saw I saw tweet that was like a photo 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:40.800 of her from the premiere and it was like she 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:46.280 got skinny and lost her realness. I was gonna say, 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.600 I mean, it is not not necessarily untrue. She was 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:58.120 good in the film. 0:12:55.040 --> 0:13:00.840 And that's what she was in the film. 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:05.160 I really liked Brooklyn Heights and Marsh Marsh Marsha and 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:09.760 Simone as the as like the mean girl trained stewardesses. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.720 They were very funny. I would say that there's a joke. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.319 I won't spoil it, but there is a joke featuring 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.880 a raggedy an doll. Oh. I actually think that joke 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.080 is in the trailer. So people have probably already oh 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:27.360 it is, Oh my god, they spoiled that in Comedic Genius. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.840 Okay, one thing not necessarily about like our enjoyment of 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.600 the films, there has been this controversy bubbling up. A 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.680 lot of people are saying that it looks like a 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.199 lot of generative AI was used in the film, and 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:47.040 in fact, sure it was. The director Adam Shankman made 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:51.120 a statement and he said, every shot and stopped that 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.880 train is made by human hands. Has come to my 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.600 attention that there's some online speculation that Stopped that Train 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.560 is full of fully generative AI shots, and I'm here 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.000 to tell you this is patently not true. There are 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.200 some total of zero shots conceived by AI. 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:05.000 In thish way. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.920 We employed hundreds of VFX artists. Untbelieve that who all 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.960 killed them hundreds getting this out. They maybe had two 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.640 killed themselves getting this out for release, and not one 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.000 job was taken out of human hands. This movie is 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.960 a fully human made piece of joy and laughter. So 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.520 I do think there is something to be said of like, 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.720 I think we are kind of losing the further we 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:30.760 go into the AI era. I think we are losing 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.800 the ability to determine what is real and what is 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:34.240 not and. 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.000 I wouldn't have been able to discern. I would have 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:36.920 fully thought that was AI. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.040 Well, I think there is there is a difference between 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:45.280 AI and just bad cheap CGI, and like I could 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.760 very much clock that what was in the film was 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:53.120 bad CGI to the level of what is done in 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:54.760 drag race acting challenges. 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:56.480 Yes, and in AI. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:58.160 A lot of. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.320 People do think that the language and this is very 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:08.560 carefully worded. Oh you know that they're zero shots conceived 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.400 by AI. So it's like, so does that mean like 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:16.000 they prompted something really specifically and they're being very very 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:17.120 careful about the language. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:18.200 I don't know. 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.640 I personally like, I mean, here's the thing, if they 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.000 did use AI, we're certainly never going to find out 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:24.560 about it now. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.200 Yeah, well, I mean I feel well, that's the thing 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.640 is I think it would be I am I'm curious, 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.840 Like it seems like something that would actually be difficult 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.000 to lie about, is my thought. 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:36.880 But I also think it's just but I do this 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:41.320 is a product of our of like our culture calling 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.360 everything slop culture. You know, it's like people anything they 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.320 don't like now, it's very easy I think in the 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:51.960 way that five six, ten years ago, it was easy 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.320 to say I don't like this because it's problematic, and 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:58.640 that was like an argument ender, a conversation finisher. Now 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:02.600 people just say, oh, it's a slop, and I think 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:08.520 that's actually a really limited way to engage with them 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:09.720 and think critically about art. 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.120 I agree, I agree, and I think this is what 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.320 you're saying. But I think that it brings up this 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.680 I think really a question for the culture. As it were, 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.440 we were just celebrating the six year anniversary of a 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:27.080 question for the Culturela del But it is like, actually, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:31.320 like just saying something looks like AI slop is like 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.520 not good media literacy. Like I I'm I'm gonna go 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.560 actually out on a limit say that Adam Shankman has 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.640 no reason to lie, and also that he is, you know, 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:46.440 someone who I do. I do believe in a generation 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.160 of artists and directors that are actually going to stand 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.000 on the right side of history. And if he's making 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.480 this statement, my hope is that is what he's doing. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.600 And so I yeah, I think for public discernment, it's 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.640 like it's the same thing as like fact checking, Like 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.359 you can't just look at a TikTok and and and 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.200 and distill that in all the information in that TikTok 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.080 is going to be factual. It's just not how we 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.159 should be critiquing art, so to just for the media 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.560 story to actually really get away from it. And everyone 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.720 has concluded actually that the film was made by AI. 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.679 I mean that's kind. I mean, no, girl, shitty graphics 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.840 are shitty graphics, okay, And also something to be said. 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.800 They also really honey the opening credits of this film. Ever, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:39.040 they cleaned out the stock footage library for trains. They 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:43.280 searched trains into like Adobe video stock, and they got everything. 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:47.239 They took it all, baby. But yeah, I mean, but 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.560 that's the movie was done on a relative budget, right 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.199 like people. I think, didn't you say that? 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:53.560 People were? 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:56.320 That's crazy to me. 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:01.040 I want to know, looks like it costs two dollars 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:01.320 to me. 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:03.919 But that's how we like it. That's how we like drag. 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:08.159 That's why drag is good, because the cheapness of drag 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.160 as an art form is in conversation with the art 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.520 form itself and in being aware of itself, is part 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.360 of the shtick and why it's so funny. Well, yeah, 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.240 I mean that's you know, I think you find camp 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.800 in the dissonance between this movie looking like it was 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.639 filmed in my bathroom, right, and the fact that everyone's 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.159 treating it everyone in the film or is treating it 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:34.040 as if they are in you know, a Christopher Nolan movie, right. 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:38.199 I yeah, I mean yeah, then that's just not with 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.439 this That's not the standard that this film is supposed 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.320 to be at. And I'm glad that they didn't use AI. 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:48.320 According to the statement, thank God, what do we talk 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:51.000 about next? Roads? Do we do? Do we talk about 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:51.880 what you did last night? 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:54.479 Yeah? I think I think we should. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.440 I think that's next priority. Babes, you kind of died 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:58.120 and went to heaven. 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.240 If I'm not well, I died if went to Hell 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:02.800 and I had a fabulous time. 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.000 I didn't know he was going to be performing Rose. 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:05.480 Yeah. 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:10.120 So last night I went to the season three premiere 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.840 of The Vampire Lesstat formerly known as an Interview with 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:18.480 the Vampire. It was the premiere and a live show 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:22.919 with Sam Reid performing live as as the Stat in 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.480 character like in character, like he was doing like patter 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.480 between the songs in character as the Stat with the 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:34.000 French accent. Everything he had, like his like makeup, scar On. 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.960 And so for those who haven't been listening and don't 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.920 know the third season of the show, Oh my god, 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:44.520 fuck my weed delivery is here. 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.119 I'll go get it. I can. I can tell the versions. 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.800 Okayam the third season of the show, which is called 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:54.560 The Vampire Lestat because that is the title of this 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.720 next kind of chunk of Anne Rice's books following Interview 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:04.640 with Vampire iterates the story of Listat as he kind 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.160 of moves through time because he's obviously centuries years old 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:16.120 to now be a rock star. And the rock star's name, oh, 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:17.680 is maybe just the Vampire list A. 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.320 Yeah, his band is called the vampireless At, right, And. 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:27.040 I didn't know. And he performed at this premiere. 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:28.560 Yes, did he do one song? 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:29.199 Two songs? 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.480 No, he did four or five songs. He performed for 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:33.439 about twenty minutes. 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:35.040 That's shock. 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.080 He performed with a full band, including Daniel Hart, who 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:41.439 is the composer for Interview with the Vampire. They wrote 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.399 I think like upwards of twenty or thirty songs for 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:50.080 season three and performed a bunch of them last night. 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.920 The songs kind of you know, like. 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:59.000 Are are the framework of the season. From what I 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:01.120 can see a hold on, Vampagana have to go. 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:01.800 Get this. 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:10.800 The I was uh, I was going to ask, actually 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.560 if the I think that the rock Star is supposed 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.960 to be a kind of like Prince slash Bowie hybrid, 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:24.200 and this like rock Star kind of persona I think 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:28.800 lends itself so beautifully to the first element, right, Like 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:33.080 the rock Star is very thirsty. He's a very thirsty 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.439 This is me Vambi girl. My question for you, this 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:40.080 is very important. Yes, who came first? You, Ty Mitchell 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:41.080 or Ira Madison? 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:43.960 It was definitely me. Yeah, okay. 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:50.120 So the premiere was held at the Beacon Theater, which 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.880 was a really beautiful venue venue for this specifically. 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:54.960 It it has like a. 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:56.439 Very old world feel. 0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:57.440 Uh. 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:01.520 They screened the first episode of the new season, which 0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:03.360 was very exciting. 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.920 I'm not gonna spoil it, but I'll say like. 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:07.760
