Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Hey you welcome to Stuff to Blow your Mind. Listener mail.
Speaker 2: This is Robert Lamb.
Speaker 3: And this is Joe McCormick. And it's Monday, the day
Speaker 3: of each week that we read back messages from the
Speaker 3: Stuff to Blow Your Mind email address. If you have
Speaker 3: never gotten in touch with the show before, but maybe
Speaker 3: you've thought about it, maybe you've felt a little tingle
Speaker 3: in your brain that maybe you should get in touch,
Speaker 3: this is the time, This is the week you should
Speaker 3: do it. Reach out at contact at stuff to Blow
Speaker 3: your Mind dot com. All types of messages are fair game.
Speaker 3: We of course, always appreciate feedback to recent episodes. If
Speaker 3: you want to suggest a topic for the future for
Speaker 3: a core episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, or
Speaker 3: a movie for Weird House Cinema, or if you have
Speaker 3: something interesting you would like to add to something we've
Speaker 3: recently talked about on the show.
Speaker 2: I do want to throw in though, give us a
Speaker 2: little context if you If you're just sending like a
Speaker 2: link or a video attachment, so yeah, that just just
Speaker 2: get throwing a little text there. Just let us know
Speaker 2: what this is and why it has been sent. Because
Speaker 2: sometimes we have been trained to be a little suspicious
Speaker 2: about some of these things, So just a little added
Speaker 2: context in those cases would be great.
Speaker 3: That's a really good point, Rob. Yes, if there's like
Speaker 3: text you'd like to include or something like that, it's
Speaker 3: often better to just copy and paste into the email.
Speaker 3: Then give us a link. We got to be cautious
Speaker 3: about links.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and uh yeah, And I think we've said
Speaker 2: this before, but you know, write in and if you
Speaker 2: if you want to share something and you don't want
Speaker 2: it to go on listener mail, you don't want us
Speaker 2: to feature it on the podcast, just state that, and
Speaker 2: we're happy to honor that as well.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: All right, Well let's go ahead and dig into this
Speaker 2: mail bag. Who wants to go first? You want to
Speaker 2: grab one, Joe?
Speaker 3: Uh, let's see, Well, why don't you do this one
Speaker 3: about dust or Matt?
Speaker 2: All right, Matt Wrights, Greetings science humans. I have to say,
Speaker 2: last time I wrote in, I did not expect to
Speaker 2: hear it read on air, and it was a wonderful experience.
Speaker 2: So thanks for that. It has been a while and
Speaker 2: I think I might write more frequently in the future.
Speaker 2: Life is crazy and the show helps ground me. So
Speaker 2: when you were asking for more writers in, I figure
Speaker 2: it's the least I can do. I've been listening to
Speaker 2: a lot a lot to the archive, but I always
Speaker 2: get excited for new episodes. Weird House Cinema has given
Speaker 2: me endless hours of joy. And though I used to
Speaker 2: wrinkle my nose of the kind of movies you talk
Speaker 2: about on there, I have discovered that I have a
Speaker 2: deep well of love for them. And my girlfriend's family
Speaker 2: all think I'm crazy for it.
Speaker 3: How's this coming up with your girlfriend's family? You like?
Speaker 3: Have you seen Highlander two?
Speaker 2: Hey? You know? I mean, I think movies are often
Speaker 2: a great place to go. It's better than talking about
Speaker 2: the weather as long as that connection's there. So anyway,
Speaker 2: Matt continues, anyway, I wrote in to talk about dust,
Speaker 2: so here goes. I am a veteran of the US
Speaker 2: Navy CEBE, which I'm very proud of. And if you
Speaker 2: don't know anything about CBS, I suggest you look them up,
Speaker 2: because we're pretty cool.
Speaker 3: I did look them up. The CBS. That's the nickname
Speaker 3: of the US Naval Construction Battalions. So CBS is spelled
Speaker 3: like the ocean and like the hymenoptera. But CBS, I
Speaker 3: think comes from the CBE for Construction Battalions, and in short,
Speaker 3: they do engineering and construction for the Navy and the
Speaker 3: Marine Corps.
Speaker 2: All right, Mac continues that they spent many months in
Speaker 2: different deserts around the world. I was a mechanic when
Speaker 2: I was in the Navy, so I had to deal
Speaker 2: with dust destroying our equipment in a myriad of ways.
Speaker 2: The most common problem I found was the air filter
Speaker 2: getting clogged every morning before we let any of the vehicles.
Speaker 2: Vehicles exit the yard, particularly in Iraq, we would use
Speaker 2: pressurized air to blow the air filters out, and there
Speaker 2: was at least a pocket full of sand dust in
Speaker 2: each one every day. Now this is reminding me of
Speaker 2: doctor Fhive's rises again that here right.
Speaker 3: Oh right, yeah, the sand flasting in the car.
Speaker 2: Matt continues. One thing I can offer up to you
Speaker 2: folks that may help to answer some questions I heard
Speaker 2: listeners asking in the Listener Mail episode is that dust
Speaker 2: is everywhere all the time, so there doesn't need to
Speaker 2: be a storm walking around kicks it up enough in
Speaker 2: the air for it to clog air filters. In the Navy,
Speaker 2: we called it moon dust, I think because it was
Speaker 2: seemingly lighter than air, and when you stepped in it
Speaker 2: it resulted in what looked like footprints on the moon.
Speaker 2: The moondust caused a lot of issues, not just mechanical ones.
Speaker 2: As you walk around in a desert, it is impossible
Speaker 2: to see the texture of the terrain because the moon
Speaker 2: dust coats it and looks so smooth. It is not
Speaker 2: smooth most of the time. The problem is that the
Speaker 2: dust doesn't build up under your foot as you walk,
Speaker 2: it moves and piles around your foot. It covers up
Speaker 2: rocks and bumps in the road, so you have to
Speaker 2: be a lot more careful walking around. I definitely tripped
Speaker 2: a number of times and sprawled out looking silly on
Speaker 2: the ground at first, but overall I think this gave
Speaker 2: me stronger ankles, so maybe it was worth looking like
Speaker 2: a fool a few times.
Speaker 3: That sounds perilous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as far as driving in a sandstorm goes, this
Speaker 2: is something I would advise against strongly. I only went
Speaker 2: outside during a storm once in Iraq. It was terrifying
Speaker 2: and extremely dangerous just to attempt to walk to the
Speaker 2: galley chow hall, mess hall place to eat at. My
Speaker 2: friend and I started walking to the galley, which was
Speaker 2: about a fourth of a mile away from camp, and
Speaker 2: as soon as we walked across the street into a
Speaker 2: large sandy flat that covered the distance to the galley,
Speaker 2: the wind, which was loaded with all sizes of grains
Speaker 2: of sand, not just dust, just about knocked us over.
Speaker 2: We walked on for a short time, pressing hard against
Speaker 2: the wind. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge chunk of
Speaker 2: the fuselage of a plane came bounding by, bouncing like
Speaker 2: a tumbleweed. The only reason we could even see it
Speaker 2: is because it was a foot in front of us,
Speaker 2: which scared us both enough to look at each other
Speaker 2: and say, to hell with the galley. I have snacks
Speaker 2: in my room. At the same time, but wait, it's
Speaker 2: not over yet. We turned around and headed back to camp,
Speaker 2: only to arrive at the galley. This was slightly demoralizing,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure we cursed a lot at this point,
Speaker 2: but we eventually got back to camp. I never attempted
Speaker 2: to go anywhere during a sandstorm again. I hope my
Speaker 2: email is worth how long it is. Thank you so
Speaker 2: much for all that you do.
Speaker 3: Much love, Matt, Oh, thank you so much, Matt. Yeah,
Speaker 3: these are exactly the kinds of experiences we love to
Speaker 3: hear about in listener mail. It adds a lot of
Speaker 3: text here to the stuff we talk about to hear
Speaker 3: about personal experiences.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, all right, what else do we have in the
Speaker 2: old mail bag.
Speaker 3: Year, let's see? Oh well, we got a response to
Speaker 3: the first part in our series on meteorite iron, the
Speaker 3: Iron from the Sky. So this is responding to a
Speaker 3: part of the episode when we were talking about how
Speaker 3: before the process of smelting iron from ore became widely
Speaker 3: known and practiced, in the ancient world, iron was often
Speaker 3: treated as a precious metal like gold or silver today,
Speaker 3: but perhaps even more rare and valuable because most of
Speaker 3: it had to be sourced from meteorites that fell from space.
Speaker 3: And though it probably did not happen fast enough for
Speaker 3: this scenario to actually occur, we imagined a scene where
Speaker 3: somebody's clutching their incredibly scarce and valuable iron trinket, maybe
Speaker 3: it's an iron dagger or an iron amulet or something. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: the local metalworkers are figuring out iron smelting, and iron
Speaker 3: quite suddenly becomes very common and very cheap, sort of
Speaker 3: the reverse Goldfinger scenario. So that's context for this message
Speaker 3: from listener Joe. Joe says, your story of iron suddenly
Speaker 3: losing value reminded me of the Twilight Zone classic with
Speaker 3: which I imagine you're familiar, the Rip Van Winkle Caper.
Speaker 3: So this is an episode of The Twilight Zone where
Speaker 3: you got like a team of scientists they pull off
Speaker 3: a massive gold heist from Fort Knox, and they believe
Speaker 3: they can evade the law by taking their gold bricks
Speaker 3: and then going into specially created suspended animation chambers that
Speaker 3: are going to let them sleep for one hundred years.
Speaker 3: So I think the idea is, you know, you come
Speaker 3: out one hundred years later and start trying to trade
Speaker 3: the gold. It's not going to arouse suspicion.
Speaker 2: I remember this episode. This is one I saw as
Speaker 2: a kid on TV watching old episodes of The Twilight Zone,
Speaker 2: and I still distinctly remember it because one of the
Speaker 2: plot points is that when they wake up in the future, well,
Speaker 2: one of the characters wakes up, but the other character,
Speaker 2: like a rock has fallen from the ceiling and has
Speaker 2: broken like the glass panel of the preservation chamber that
Speaker 2: they were in, and so now there's just a skeleton
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the disrupted hibernation. I think like three of
Speaker 3: the four conspirators survive, but then they after they wake up,
Speaker 3: there is much desperation and betrayal. I think they end
Speaker 3: up stranded in the desert and they're like trying to
Speaker 3: buy a drink of water off each other for thirty
Speaker 3: pounds of gold for a sip or something. And then
Speaker 3: here in the email, Joe goes on to quote some
Speaker 3: dialogue from the twist ending of the episode. So you know,
Speaker 3: one of the one of the dying conspirators is like
Speaker 3: trying to buy water from someone in the desert for
Speaker 3: these gold bars. And then the characters say, can you
Speaker 3: imagine that he offered this to me as if it
Speaker 3: was really worth something? You know, wasn't it worth something once? George?
Speaker 3: I mean, didn't people use gold for money? Sure, about
Speaker 3: one hundred years ago before they found a way of
Speaker 3: manufacturing it.
Speaker 2: It's a great twist. I love this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it totally is that kind of irony the Twilight
Speaker 3: Zone twists are really known for. It's kind of gold
Speaker 3: enough at last, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, oh man, some of the Yeah, when Twilight
Speaker 2: Zone was at its best, like you just can't touch it.
Speaker 2: I need to go back and watch some more episodes
Speaker 2: of it that in the original Outer Limits. We were
Speaker 2: just talking about that off mic the other day about
Speaker 2: some episodes of the original Outer Limits good.
Speaker 3: Stuff, the one where Donald Pleasance plays a professor who
Speaker 3: invents a way of like telekinetically controlling events, but then
Speaker 3: of course it spirals out of control. I think he
Speaker 3: ends up subconsciously getting revenge on everyone who wronged him.
Speaker 2: All right, let's see what else do we have here?
Speaker 2: Always have some more weird House specific email. We're already
Speaker 2: in the basic vibe of weird house, but let's go
Speaker 2: all the way in. This one comes to us from Albert,
Speaker 2: subject line Dragon Slayer. Hi, Robert and Joe. I remember
Speaker 2: watching the film in theaters in nineteen eighty one. It
Speaker 2: was such an awesome experience, especially for someone who is
Speaker 2: in the midst of playing advanced dungeons and dragons. Anyway,
Speaker 2: if you can at all find it, the novelization of
Speaker 2: Dragon Slayer was a great read. It went into a
Speaker 2: lot more details into the background of all the characters.
Speaker 2: For example, Ulrick dreams of the first dragon born of
Speaker 2: his sorcerer's humorous paid in blood by the innocence, you
Speaker 2: get the backstory to the dragon slaying spear crafted by
Speaker 2: Valarian's father. I'm not one hundred percent sure about the film,
Speaker 2: but in the novelization, the father crafted the dragon slaying
Speaker 2: spear under the guidance of Ulrich many years ago. The
Speaker 2: price of his hubris to craft such a mighty weapon
Speaker 2: was the loss of his wife to the lottery, leaving
Speaker 2: him with a baby girl. The romance between Galen and
Speaker 2: Valerian is a little more developed, as Galen was not
Speaker 2: imprisoned but was allowed to live in the village for weeks,
Speaker 2: spending time with Valarian. There were other developments, so if
Speaker 2: you get the chance, I highly recommend the novelization as
Speaker 2: a companion to the film.
Speaker 3: Many thanks, Albert, thanks for the recommendation. You know, we've
Speaker 3: talked about movie novelizations a good bit on the show before,
Speaker 3: and I can't remember if this specific thing came up,
Speaker 3: but I was thinking about how I read a theory
Speaker 3: somewhere that film novelizations really filled a niche before home
Speaker 3: video existed, so you could if you could only see
Speaker 3: a movie in a theater, maybe you really loved the
Speaker 3: movie and then it wasn't playing anywhere near you anymore?
Speaker 3: What do you do? Maybe in this case, you go
Speaker 3: buy a novelization of the film, and this is your
Speaker 3: only way to experience the film again is to sort
Speaker 3: of read the movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And I think it's they can still serve
Speaker 2: that purpose. There aren't as many of them as they
Speaker 2: used as there used to be, but they still buzzt
Speaker 2: out novelizations from time to time and all occasionally, I
Speaker 2: haven't done this in a while, occasionally given and use one.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean it costs cost a fair chunk
Speaker 2: of change to go see a movie in the theater,
Speaker 2: and if you don't have some sort of a theater
Speaker 2: membership going on and the spare time to do it,
Speaker 2: you might not be up for another two to three
Speaker 2: hours in the theater to experience it again. And novelizations,
Speaker 2: you know, often give you a chance to revisit it
Speaker 2: the material, but with slight tweaks and changes, they can
Speaker 2: be a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: I think we've also talked about before that the interesting task,
Speaker 3: like the creative task of a writer of a film
Speaker 3: novelization to sometimes fill in like paper over gaps, like
Speaker 3: a movie might have plot holes that are never explained,
Speaker 3: but the novelization provides an author with like these sort
Speaker 3: of challenges, these clever, clever ways to come up to
Speaker 3: get around to the plot holes or explain inconsistencies and
Speaker 3: so forth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, they can be great. I love
Speaker 2: hearing about the ones I haven't read. And it seems
Speaker 2: like a lot of people I talked to all have
Speaker 2: that one favorite, you know that they distinctly remember, perhaps
Speaker 2: reading as a kid. You know, when you're at times
Speaker 2: your obsession can be just absolutely maximized over some movie
Speaker 2: you've just seen, So like, yeah, I remember reading the
Speaker 2: novelization of Tim Burton's Batman, among others, and you know,
Speaker 2: they're they're often extra scenes and then also a little
Speaker 2: insights sometimes into like what this film was looking like,
Speaker 2: perhaps before final editing or you know, before everything was
Speaker 2: fully shot and so forth. Now I know what some
Speaker 2: of you are wondering, Well, who wrote the Dragon Slayer novelization?
Speaker 2: And was it Alan Dean Foster who wrote so many
Speaker 2: of them. Now I looked it up. It was a
Speaker 2: writer by the name of Wayland Drew who of nineteen
Speaker 2: thirty two through nineteen ninety eight, who I don't think
Speaker 2: I've read anything by this individual. But some of the
Speaker 2: other novelizations that they did include Corvette Summer, which came
Speaker 2: up in Dragon Slayer Batteries Not Included, which is also
Speaker 2: connected to the same filmmakers.
Speaker 3: And Willow. Okay. I did a quick check to see
Speaker 3: if that was the same author as the novelization of
Speaker 3: Halloween three Season of the Witch, but that's not. That
Speaker 3: was Jack Martin. Okay.
Speaker 2: And then you know, like most of these writers, they
Speaker 2: also have original works and I have not read any
Speaker 2: of these either, but this was a Canadian writer.
Speaker 3: Okay. This next message comes from b Z. BZ says, Greetings,
Speaker 3: Robin Joe. I have listened for years to your podcast
Speaker 3: and greatly appreciate your well researched approach to the broad
Speaker 3: range of topics you discuss. At the moment, I am
Speaker 3: behind on my listening, but have thoroughly enjoyed getting caught up,
Speaker 3: and just recently listened to your July twenty first, twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three Weird House Cinema episode on nausicaa of the
Speaker 3: Valley of the Wind. Normally I enjoy your breakdowns of
Speaker 3: strange movies, but have maybe only seen one or two
Speaker 3: of them. I felt a strange pull as you began
Speaker 3: describing the art and the story of Nausica. I could
Speaker 3: truly feel your love of the film and had to
Speaker 3: experience it myself. After all, Rob did describe it as
Speaker 3: a perfect film. I paused the episode and that evening
Speaker 3: rented the English dub. I was immediately taken by the
Speaker 3: beautiful animation, the thoughtful story, and the compelling characters. It
Speaker 3: was a truly moving work of art. Thank you for
Speaker 3: creating a new experience for me. Keep up the fantastic work. Sincerely,
Speaker 3: b z PS. As a land surveyor, I work with
Speaker 3: boundary markers, both modern and historical. I think the topic
Speaker 3: of boundary stones in history would make an excellent episode.
Speaker 3: There are curses both petty and grand in nature, and
Speaker 3: even the Old Testament wides in with Deuteronomy twenty seven seventeen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we actually have talked about boundary markers and boundary stones
Speaker 3: from the ancient world in some episode we did years ago.
Speaker 3: It might have been an episode of Invention, though, that's possible,
Speaker 3: which was another podcast we did that. We eventually sort
Speaker 3: of just folded the format of back into stuff to
Speaker 3: blow your mind.
Speaker 2: But it's still out there if you want to check
Speaker 2: out all the Invention episodes. The feed is still still alive.
Speaker 3: That's right. But anyway to come back to your the
Speaker 3: curses about boundary markers from Deuteronomy twenty seven to seventeen.
Speaker 3: This is in a section of Deuteronomy known as the
Speaker 3: twelve curses. So you've got curses for a variety of offenses.
Speaker 3: On one hand, you've got curses for anyone who lies
Speaker 3: with an animal or lies with his mother in law.
Speaker 3: But also you've got curses for anyone who leads the
Speaker 3: blind to stray on the road, kills a neighbor in secret,
Speaker 3: or a curse for anyone who mistreats a widow, an orphan,
Speaker 3: or a stranger from another country. And then one of
Speaker 3: the curses also shows heightened concern for the tampering with
Speaker 3: land boundaries. It said curse would be anyone who moves
Speaker 3: a neighbor's boundary marker. All the people shall say, amen.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I almost moved a boundary marker this morning.
Speaker 2: I need to know that the that you know that
Speaker 2: the curses may be in play, But did you literally
Speaker 2: did you you know how they do? Sometimes you know,
Speaker 2: there's boundary markers in the legal sense, and then there's
Speaker 2: like where the fences were built. And so sometimes when
Speaker 2: like neighboring properties, they're measuring things out, they'll throw a
Speaker 2: stake over on your side of the fence, or a
Speaker 2: little bit of a you know, marker tape or whatever
Speaker 2: will be on your side. And I was looking at
Speaker 2: one of these and I was cutting back some weeds,
Speaker 2: and it was like, should I give this a cut too?
Speaker 2: And then I'm like that, I'll 's fine. So I
Speaker 2: might have spared myself a curse there. Oh and as
Speaker 2: far as Nausica goes, that's tremendous. I mean, if I
Speaker 2: if we can help introduce folks to new movie experiences
Speaker 2: like Nausica, then that's wonderful. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that one is well known and widely
Speaker 3: known to be wonderful. So I don't know if it
Speaker 3: needs our help as much as some of the movies
Speaker 3: we talk about that are more more obscure gems, but
Speaker 3: it is truly wonderful in every single way. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: if we can encourage people to see it, I will
Speaker 3: always take that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, push it up the to watch list a
Speaker 2: little bit for some some listeners. That's that's what we
Speaker 2: can do? All right? We have another one here. This
Speaker 2: one comes to us from Chris. It goes as follows
Speaker 2: Robert and Joe. I was prompted to write after listening
Speaker 2: to The Vault episodes about childhood amnesia and watching Star
Speaker 2: Trek Bicards season three DVD specials in Shorts this weekend,
Speaker 2: especially actors actions to the recreation of the Enterprise d
Speaker 2: Bridge set from Star Trek the Next Generation, and how
Speaker 2: memory and emotion can be strongly associated with location. I
Speaker 2: can easily remember the actual theaters I viewed seventeen of
Speaker 2: your Weird House subjects, partially because in my much younger days,
Speaker 2: going to a theater usually required at least some modicum
Speaker 2: of thought and effort, even if only to ride my
Speaker 2: bicycle into town. Of the seventeen Weird House films I
Speaker 2: saw in a theater, they were often part of a
Speaker 2: double feature including the usual newsreel and cartoon. However, I
Speaker 2: have seen one way or another fifty two of the
Speaker 2: Weird House films. Eight were on TV as a late
Speaker 2: night feature or other regular local broadcast fair as well,
Speaker 2: before rental, cable or PayTV availability like that, you youngsters
Speaker 2: grew up with my family held onto a Zenith black
Speaker 2: and white model very like this. There's a picture they attached,
Speaker 2: maybe even the same until about nineteen sixty seven, when
Speaker 2: it was relegated to us kids upstairs, where it finally died.
Speaker 2: It was called a portable, but perhaps luggable would be
Speaker 2: a better category.
Speaker 3: This huge, old bulky TV with like a brass handle
Speaker 3: on top. I love that luggage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, easily lugged around there. Keep this information in mind
Speaker 2: when I finally send my novella length I mean short
Speaker 2: list of suggestions for Weird House episodes with comments, you
Speaker 2: will have no one to blame but yourselves. Naturally, it
Speaker 2: will include the creation of the Humanoids, the film that
Speaker 2: started my flood of emails Chris.
Speaker 3: Thanks Chris, Well. I want to watch movies on a
Speaker 3: TV like this now. I look at the screen looks
Speaker 3: like it's I don't know, maybe like six inches and
Speaker 3: diagonal and it's got I guess. I don't know if
Speaker 3: these are like channel and volume knobs at the top,
Speaker 3: but they look like how you attach a hose to
Speaker 3: a spigot. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this reminds me. I had a black and white
Speaker 2: television in my room when I was a kid at
Speaker 2: one point, and I think that was where I I
Speaker 2: watched parts of Friday the Thirteenth movies on TV late
Speaker 2: at night, black and white. We were living in the
Speaker 2: country at the time, which always made Jason Voor He's
Speaker 2: all the more terrifying for me because he is the
Speaker 2: sort of of entity you could imagine just walking out
Speaker 2: of the dark forest and accosting you.
Speaker 3: That's funny. Yeah, I remember having similar thoughts when I
Speaker 3: was when I was younger and I was first experiencing
Speaker 3: like the Friday the Thirteenth movies on USA or something,
Speaker 3: and I think I had more bravado about the subject
Speaker 3: matter of the movies in the daytime or at you know,
Speaker 3: in more urban locations. But whenever we would get like
Speaker 3: out in the woods or something, then I would start
Speaker 3: kind of thinking about Jason and be like, oh, I'm
Speaker 3: actually a little scared.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the night changes things for sure. All Right,
Speaker 2: we're gonna go ahead and close the mail bag now,
Speaker 2: but we will be back. So again, keep those messages coming.
Speaker 2: You have weird house cinema suggestions, since we talked about
Speaker 2: a lot of those, send them in. You know, sometimes
Speaker 2: these kind of build up and they help push a
Speaker 2: selection up towards the top of our consideration list. Other
Speaker 2: times you put films on our radar, they just weren't
Speaker 2: there previously, so it's a great exercise and if nothing else,
Speaker 2: we like chatting about the possibilities. And likewise, if you
Speaker 2: have feedback on or suggestions for, past, current, and future
Speaker 2: episodes of the core Stuff to Blow Your Mind episodes,
Speaker 2: our short form episodes, or just in response to stuff
Speaker 2: that you've heard us chat about in listener mail episodes,
Speaker 2: write in. We would love to hear from you.
Speaker 3: Huge thanks as always to our excellent audio producer JJ Posway.
Speaker 3: If you would like to get in touch with us
Speaker 3: with feedback on this episode or any other, to suggest
Speaker 3: a topic for the future, or just to say hello,
Speaker 3: you can email us at contact at stuff to Blow
