00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: Hey you, welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind Listener Mail.

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: My name is Robert Lamb.

00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: And my name is Joe McCormick. It's Monday, the day

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 3: of each week that we read back messages from the

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 3: Stuff to Blow Your Mind email address. If you have

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 3: never gotten in touch with the show before and you

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 3: would like to give it a try, you can email

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: us at contact at stuff to Blow your Mind dot com.

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: We give that email address at the end of every

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: regular episode, but at the listener Mail we like to

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 3: give it here at the top because some people they

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: tell us all the time, in fact, they've listened for years,

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 3: never written in why not give it a shot. We

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: of course really love and appreciate all of the messages

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: we get, but if you want to be featured on

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 3: a listener mail episode, you're especially likely to have your

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: message pop up if you've got something interesting to add

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: to a subject we talked about on the show. Let's

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: see and this first message today exactly that, Rob Do

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: you mind if I kick things off with this response

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: to our series on headless beings?

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's have it.

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: This is from Joe who has written in before with

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: sometimes some great lore from Southeast Asia, and Joe has

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: more to add today, They say, Dear Joe and Robert,

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: I'm a little behind on the episodes and just finished

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: the one on headlessness. Towards the end of the episode

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: there was mention of headless ghosts and divine entities. I'm

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: not sure if you came across this in your research,

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: but I believe the panangalon might be of interest to you, guys.

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: Lore has it. Panangalon are witches that practice black magic.

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: At night. They detach their heads from their bodies and

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: float around in search of blood, children, pregnant women, and

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: the likes. They are slightly different from other only head

36
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: in that they still have internal organs trailing after their

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 3: disembodied head as it flies around. Wow, that's gross, just

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: like soggy organ bags hanging out of the neck stump.

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: That's that's brutal. Let's see. Their vulnerable headless bodies are

40
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: hidden away for safe keeping until daybreak, when the floating

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: heads and their entrails return and stuff themselves back into

42
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: the body and become whole once again. There are similar

43
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: legends throughout Southeast Asia, known under names like krassu or mananangal.

44
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: Both penangalon and Mananangol come from the word tongaal, which

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: means to be separated, which is apt for such a creature. Ah,

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 3: but there's more, Joe continues. It's said that the smell

47
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: of vinegar follows them around because they have to soak

48
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: their innerids in vinegar before they can fit them back

49
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: into the body. You can ward off these creatures by

50
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: placing thorny leaves around your house to damage their floating entrails,

51
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: and you can kill one by stuffing glass and other

52
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: prickly material into their necks if you find the headless

53
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: bodies alone. This is gross. I can't believe this.

54
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: I was just searching around in my notes because I

55
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: feel like something related to this has come up before,

56
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: but I can't place exactly when it was. I don't

57
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: think I did a monster fact on these, and I

58
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: wasn't aware of all of these grizzly details concerning this

59
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: particular variant, but something like this has come up. Maybe

60
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: I was just poking around for ideas in folklore.

61
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: At one point I did not know about this, Joe,

62
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to look this up after we're done.

63
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: Recording here, but the email continues, they say, on a

64
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: lighter note, there was some musing about the origins of

65
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: the quote lock and load sequences in one of the

66
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: Listener Mail episodes. Yeah, this actually goes back to our

67
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: weird House Cinema episode on the movie Critters, which feeds

68
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: is one of these kind of what we ended up

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: learning was widely referred to as the lock and load montage,

70
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: but it's featured in every Batman movie. There was a

71
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: sequence like this in Critters as well, where a character

72
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 3: is like putting all of their suit and gear on

73
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: and you see all the buckles snapping and the like

74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: things going into sheaths, all in extreme close up, and

75
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: then finally there's a reveal of the full suit in

76
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: all its glory, and we were wondering, what does that

77
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: go back to, Like where does that film icmeme come from?

78
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: And we never found a good answer to that.

79
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it remains an open question.

80
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: Joe has an idea here, they say, I believe those

81
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: may have been inspired by Japan's common Rider hinchin Superhero

82
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: series and Magical Girl series that began in the mid

83
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: to late sixties. The initial common Rider transformations were quite simple,

84
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: with the protagonists just yelling hinshin and then a shot

85
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: of a bell or armor appearing later on. Sailor Moon

86
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: appears to have popularized longer and more drawn out sequences

87
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: with more emphasis on various parts of the outfit. These

88
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: transformation montages can easily be adapted for non magical series

89
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: just by having the characters getting themselves ready instead of

90
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 3: having a device slash magical item address them. In any case,

91
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: both often involve zoomed in scenes of various parts of

92
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: the outfit and or weapons, accompanied by thematic music, then

93
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: completed by a slow pan of the completed ensemble or

94
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: full body shot. This also means that the montage of

95
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: Tony Stark summoning his armor also counts as a magical

96
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: girl transformation, and then eyeball.

97
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: Emojis increasingly magical.

98
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: I might add, oh yes, anyway, happy holidays if they're

99
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 3: upon you by the time you read this. As always,

100
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: I love what you do and the im looking forward

101
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: to more episodes. Joe, Well, Joe, thank you for the

102
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: great email. As always, and I had not thought to

103
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: look to like Hinge in Superheroes or Sailor Moon or

104
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: anything like that, but that is interesting. I could imagine

105
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: that indeed being the source of this of this meme

106
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 3: in film.

107
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I hadn't put this together either, but it

108
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: makes sense this might be the connection. And yeah, I

109
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: mean you have anytime you have a creative minds in cinema,

110
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: they're gonna they're gonna borrow and find inspiration in various

111
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: genres and in different film cultures. So it makes sense

112
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: that somebody realized, hey, we could tweak this a little

113
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: bit and we can use this for more, you know, again,

114
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: non magical even non science fiction suiting up sequences.

115
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: It would be truly hilarious if like the Batman suiting

116
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: up montage goes directly back to sailor.

117
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: Moon with a with a camera spinning around and all

118
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: the light. Yeah yeah, yeah, and to come back to

119
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: Iron Man. I've probably hammered this one before, but I

120
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: feel like the suiting up sequences and many of these

121
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: superhero movies it's gotten it's gotten too magical, you know,

122
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: like there's no physicality to the suit anymore. I liked

123
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: it more when Iron Man had to have his own

124
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: suit like put on or there's like robot arms putting

125
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: it on for him. But when it just became just

126
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: a sea of nanites that just kind of a symbol

127
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: on his body. It's like it's just so far removed

128
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: from anything that I can touch and feel like, it

129
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: just becomes this magical transformation sequence. He might as well

130
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: be turning into Mamra they ever living. Yeah, I'm being

131
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: picky here. I have to drive home that I just

132
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: rewatched the Infinity Stone movies with my son and they

133
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: were even better than I remember. So I love those films.

134
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: I really enjoy a number of the Iron Man films.

135
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: I just wish I could feel the suit a little

136
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: bit more in those sequences.

137
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: And to be fair, I've seen some of the Iron

138
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: Man standalone movies, but I haven't seen those the big

139
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: Avengers ones.

140
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: Oh no, they're good. They're there when you're ready for him. Okay,

141
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: all right, This next one comes to us from Nathan.

142
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: The subject RoboCop and crossbows. Nathan says, greetings and salutations, gentlemen.

143
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: I wrote schall a while back with some comic connections

144
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: concerning a ror shark and the question, Well, I've got

145
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: I don't remember that one, but well I kind of

146
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: remember that one. Okay, Well, I've got some more in

147
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: relation to RoboCop and its sequels. Both Robo Cops two

148
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: and three were co written by Frank Miller, probably best

149
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: known as the author of the industry changing comic The

150
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: Dark Knight Returns, published in nineteen eighty six. When the

151
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: highly anticipated animated feature was released in two parts in

152
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, the aging Bruce Wayne slash Batman was portrayed

153
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 2: by none other than the great Peter Weller. Solid adaptation,

154
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: perhaps more accessible than the atypical storytelling approach of the comic,

155
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 2: definitely worth a view. That's interesting, you know, I've actually

156
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 2: never read The Dark Knight Returns. Even when I was

157
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: in my biggest comic book phases, I ended up going

158
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: more in the Grant Morrison and Alan Moore direction, I think,

159
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: than the than then checking these out. I don't know.

160
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: It was a time too where I don't think there

161
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: was a great digital solution. So these comic books, they

162
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: get expensive, and do you read them so quickly then

163
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: you're out of comic book.

164
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,479
Speaker 3: I actually have read that one. I'm not I'm famously

165
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: on the show not up on my comics, Laura, So

166
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: I haven't read a whole lot of especially like superhero comics.

167
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 3: I've read, like, you know, some of the Alan Moore

168
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 3: novels and stuff, but I have done this one. It

169
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: was like in a batch that I did some number

170
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 3: of years ago, and it's like, Okay, I'm going to

171
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: read some of the big superhero comics that everybody says

172
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: are great. So I read Dark Knight Returns. I read

173
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 3: I think Long Halloween, you know, some other stuff like that,

174
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 3: and I don't remember a lot of detail about it,

175
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: but I remember thinking most of those that I read

176
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: were great.

177
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: This this is one that I remember I had as

178
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: like an older cousin at the time when I was

179
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: a kid, and he had the Dark Knight Returns. I

180
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: remember him like showing me the cover and it was like, like,

181
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: this is the real business right here. This is the

182
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: serious comic book, you know, and you know this kid

183
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: had nunchuck, so I just had to believe. Anyway. The

184
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: email continues. Multiple on theme comics can be seen incidentally

185
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: in RoboCop. Among them, an issue of the now world

186
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: renowned Iron Man RC. Three was directed by one Fred Decker,

187
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: who's writing partner Shane Black, known for, among other things,

188
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: their collaboration on the exquisite The Monster Squad also nineteen

189
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: eighty seven, who would also go on to direct the

190
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: Christmas Laiden critical hit iron Man three, also twenty thirteen. Yeah,

191
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: I think I think we. We referenced Shane Black a

192
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: little bit in the episode that came out Friday, but

193
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: was not out at the time of this email.

194
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: About how he sets all his movies at Christmas, and

195
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: a lot of them.

196
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

197
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and wait, iron Man three. I almost said RoboCop three,

198
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: iron Man three was set at Christmas. That sounds right,

199
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: I had I believe it was.

200
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I barely. I like that one. That one was fun.

201
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 3: I remember it was funny.

202
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Monsters Quad was also fun back in the day.

203
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not in a big hurry to revisit

204
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: it because I think there's some things about it that

205
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: are not going to age all that well. But still

206
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 2: great looking monsters in that film.

207
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 3: Great cast tom noonan this as Frankenstein.

208
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. It continues in terms of sequel watchability,

209
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: I think you both said that you'd not seen them. Well,

210
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: I think we we haven't seen three, but we've both

211
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: seen two a lot. I think, speaking as a longtime fan,

212
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: I was eight or nine when RoboCop came out on

213
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: VHS and I first saw it, I'd say number two

214
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: for sure worth the watch. Agree tom noonan is the villain,

215
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: carries the picture, and a lovely montage of failed attempts

216
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: to create another cyborg is superb once more.

217
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 3: Agreed, grimly hilarious. Yes.

218
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: Part three, on the other hand, is a dud, difficult

219
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: to sit through, but the excellent and unexpected cast makes

220
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: it ideal for a background viewing. The same can be

221
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: said of the cartoon Yes, another of those R rated

222
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: film turned toy turned cartoon properties. It's not good, but

223
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: the credits revealed names I recognize from legit good work

224
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: later on the TV series A Snooze the remake Snooze,

225
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: though I have to add that one has a great cast.

226
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it. You may be wondering about RC comics,

227
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: and I must regretfully report, despite at least some having

228
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: been written by the often remarkable aforementioned Frank Miller, also

229
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 2: a snooze. Unfortunately, I've found that to be the case

230
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: to be true of basically all movie turn comics. I've

231
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: read tons of Aliens, Predators, Terminators, etc. Hoping to recapture

232
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: some of the delight the movies provide, but they never

233
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: really work. I'm fairly certain it's the lack of the

234
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: iconic scores and sound effects that led to my disappointment.

235
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I recall at one point trying to pick up

236
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 3: one of those I don't know, some kind of Aliens

237
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,599
Speaker 3: colonial marine, kind of comic, and it just did not

238
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 3: click with me. I was getting in there. I was

239
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: like that this does not have the magic of Aliens

240
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: the film.

241
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I did an Alien Versus Predator novel

242
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: at some point before they did the movie, so back

243
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: when it was just like comics and novel franchise, and

244
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: I remember enjoying it. But I also remember virtually nothing

245
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: about the plot. But it was better than the movies

246
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: that would come.

247
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: As to the RoboCop remake, don't want to spoil anybody's

248
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: fun if they like it, because we did get an

249
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: email from a frequent correspondent who I believe said that

250
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: he enjoyed the remake, But I was not a big fan.

251
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: I'm not a person who says as a rule that

252
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: one should not try to remake an already great film.

253
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: You know, you can remake a film that was good

254
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: the first time and find a new angle on it

255
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: find it a new interesting way to approach it. But

256
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: this is one that did, in the end just feel

257
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 3: completely unnecessary. It's just like, why does this exist?

258
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: Now, Nathan goes on a little bit more about RoboCop.

259
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna skip through some of this a

260
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: little bit, but it's all good stuff. But I'm gonna

261
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: get to the crossbows. Nathan says, Now, finally, if I

262
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: could back up to the topic of crossbows, there's a

263
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: subcategory I think deserves a mention, the wrist mounted crossbow.

264
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: Notable examples of users in users in fiction include the

265
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: Drow of the under Tark, Poison Ivy and Batman, and

266
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: a hunter in Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust. Who's been a

267
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: long time since I've seen that one.

268
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: I don't know it?

269
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: Oh, you know this is another one that when I

270
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: was younger, there was a time when everyone was all

271
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: about Vampire Hunter D. Anyway, Nathan closes up by saying,

272
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: chances are you've already seen Bloodlust. In any event, I

273
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: highly recommend it. It's full of great Castlevanian creatures, and

274
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: multiple recent Core episodes make me think of it. Crossbows obviously,

275
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: but something you said in the shows on Shadows reminded

276
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: me of a sneaky fiend who travels through two dimensional shadow,

277
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: and while he isn't headless like the subject of those episodes,

278
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: there is a neat take on lacanthropy where the Wolfman's

279
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: entire torso opens up, revealing enormous jaws. I think I'll

280
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: finish listening to your episode on RoboCop, finish rewatching RoboCop,

281
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: and then rewatch Bloodlust.

282
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: Fun sounds great, Nathan.

283
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds like some good viewing lined up there. Yeah,

284
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: the idea of many crossbows. This is kind of like

285
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: a side tangent I might have to come back to

286
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: in the future because there is this whole world. Like

287
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: we touched on this a little bit talking about that

288
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: very early ancient repeating crossbow that there's evidence of in

289
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: China that may have just been a toy or like

290
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: just an example of the basic principles of a design,

291
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: but it probably didn't have much strength at all, and

292
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: most of the firing power came from the string rather

293
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: than the bow. And so you do get into interesting

294
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: design problems when you scale a bow or crossbow down

295
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: too much. And yet you do find examples of fairly

296
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: small ones that were used because there would be environments

297
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: where you would still want a ranged weapon, but not

298
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: have a tremendous amount of room to fire said ranged weapon.

299
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: I forget this specif on it, but there was recently

300
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: a samurai show at the High Museum here in Atlanta, Joe.

301
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: I know you went to this as well, I said JJ.

302
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: And if memory serves there was a small bow or

303
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: crossbow I don't remember which that was intended to be

304
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: fired from a carriage or inside of a carriage, but

305
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: probably inside a carriage firing outside. Should there be bandits

306
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: or whatnot?

307
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 3: Hmmm, I don't recall that specifically though. There were a

308
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: lot of amazing gizmos there.

309
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, Nathan, Yeah, thanks for all the thoughts there,

310
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: and all the film recommendations as well, Like you know,

311
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: the Vampire Hunter d thing. I hadn't thought about that

312
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: in a while, so I'll have to revisit it and

313
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: see if maybe maybe I'll rewatch it as well.

314
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: All right, This next message comes to us from Daniel.

315
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: It's in response to our series called The Sunken Lands,

316
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 3: about areas of land that have been covered up by water. Specifically,

317
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: there's a part where we talked about the observation and

318
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 3: areas around like the southeastern coast of Great Britain, of

319
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 3: tree stumps down underneath the surf that would sometimes be

320
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 3: revealed by like movements of sediment by heavy storms, and

321
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 3: how this is evidence that actually forests used to go

322
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: down into the space that is now filled in with

323
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 3: the North Sea. Daniel says, Hi, Robin Joe, I just

324
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: listened with interest to your Sunken Lands episode one the

325
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 3: other day as I actually had a genuine experience like

326
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: this where I live. In the nineties, I lived just

327
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: short walking distance from the beach the same village I

328
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: grew up in grassy Head, Trial Bay, NSW, Australia. I

329
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 3: guess that's New South Wales, New South Wales, Australia. In fact,

330
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: you can hear the sea roaring from our property, being

331
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 3: only a few hundred meters from the beach. After some

332
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: wild weather I went for a beach walk to see

333
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 3: if any of the many shipwrecks were visible that uncover

334
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: sometimes if the sand washes out of Trial Bay parentheses

335
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 3: Trialbay named after a ship called the Trial stolen by

336
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: convicts from Sydney and wrecked on my beach in eighteen sixteen.

337
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: To my surprise, not only were their shipwrecks, but also

338
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 3: a never before seen mudflat about a foot high and

339
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 3: tree stumps sticking out in the breakers. These stumps were

340
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 3: from an ancient mangrove forest, and some were a good

341
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: two feet wide. I did take photos, but if they

342
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: aren't attached, it's because I didn't find them. Well, Daniel,

343
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: there weren't any photos, so I guess you didn't find them,

344
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: Daniel says. Over the next few weeks it all covered

345
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 3: up again. So there was at one time a forest

346
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: where the beach is now. It was a strange experience

347
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: to walk among the tree stumps in the waves at

348
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: the beach. Thank you for your show. I've been listening

349
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 3: for ages now, cheers Daniel.

350
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: Excellent. That's exactly the sort of in the field reporting

351
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: where hoping to hear from our listeners.

352
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Love getting emails like this. Thank you, Daniel.

353
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into the weird house cinema listener

354
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: mail a little bit. This one comes to us from Lee.

355
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: Lee says, greetings, Rob, Joe, and jj I hope you

356
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: are all well. The recent episodes regarding headless Men had

357
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: me wondering about disembodied heads. The search quickly sent me

358
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: into horror and sci fi film best off lists. One

359
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: of note was the Den of Geek website. The list

360
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 2: features notable movies and describes the scenes. They also include

361
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: disembodied brains or one at least, since they mentioned Total

362
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: Recall in The Thing nineteen eighty two, for specific scenes,

363
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: I might further require the head or brain play a

364
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: pivotal or at least interesting role in the plot. So

365
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 2: others because I guess, yeah, I mean there are films

366
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: where heads incidentally fly around without bodies. I guess yeah.

367
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 3: There's like the scene in Total Recall where Arnold Schwarzenegger

368
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 3: is at the customs desk and he takes off a

369
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 3: fake head that I don't know he was using to

370
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 3: sneak into the planet disguised.

371
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: But that's it.

372
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: It's just like a fake talking robot head and then

373
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: it explodes. It's not a major plot point.

374
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: Get ready for a surprise, yes, two weeks. And there

375
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: are other films like you know, Big Trouble. Little China

376
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: comes to mind is one that has a fabulous beholder

377
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: like creature that's essentially a floating head, but it's not

378
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: central to the plot. It's just really cool anyway. The

379
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: email continues here. So others on the list include the

380
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: Brain from Planet Aros. That's nineteen fifty seven. We haven't

381
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: watched it, but it has come up before, The Thing

382
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: that Couldn't Die nineteen fifty eight, The Fiend without a

383
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: Face nineteen fifty eight. Now, we did cover that one

384
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: on Weird House, Yes we did.

385
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 3: That's about the I just sprayed for brains last week.

386
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 2: Tzardas from seventy four. That comes up from time to time.

387
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 2: Not sure if that's one we'll cover, and and then

388
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: they say, as well as a couple I would add

389
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: on my own the Frozen Dead from nineteen sixty six,

390
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: Invaders from Mars mentioned during the Maze episode, and looking

391
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: into information on Modoc, I stumbled across the teenage mutant

392
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: Ninja Turtle villain Kraying. Both of these could lend themselves

393
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: to the monster fact treatment. Yeah. I'm a big Krang fan.

394
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: I like Modoc, So if there's anything to pull on

395
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: there that's a little bit science y, I'll go for it.

396
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: The Crossbow episodes brought to mind the DC comics hero

397
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: vigilante Huntress. Not familiar with Huntress whose weapon is a

398
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: crossbow pistol, as well as the Slee Stack from the

399
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: seventies Saturday Morning Live action Showland of the Lost, who

400
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 2: had a crossbow weapon. While the slee Stack were one

401
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: of the batties of that series, The role of Huntress

402
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: sort of trends with that good, bad gray zone of Vigilanti.

403
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: Would you consider Chewbacco's bow caster a crossbow type weapon?

404
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: Keep up the great thought provoking content regards Lee.

405
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: Oh, where to start? A lot of things meant here.

406
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 3: At first, I didn't realize what you were talking about

407
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 3: with Invaders from Mars that came up in our episode

408
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 3: on The Maze because it was directed I think the

409
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: same year or just the year previous by the same director,

410
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 3: William Cameron Mendsy's both came out in nineteen fifty three.

411
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 3: So The Maze was the movie where it's spoiler alert,

412
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 3: spoiler alert, it takes place at the Scottish Castle and

413
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 3: the twist at the end is that the I don't

414
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: know little the prints of this castle is actually a

415
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 3: giant frog monster. Very weird. But then Invaders from Mars

416
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: is an early alien invasion movie that was very influential

417
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: on a lot of filmmakers who grew up watching films

418
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: of this kind like it was remade in the nineteen eighties.

419
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 3: But it is a strange mix of plot devices and

420
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 3: little moments that are actually kind of that are actually

421
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: pretty brutal and scary, and then other things that are

422
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: just hilarious. There's so many general running around in jeeps

423
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: and just stock footage of you know, trucks and military

424
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 3: trucks and armored personnel transport driving around on military basis.

425
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: It's like, Okay, yeah, I think we've seen enough of this.

426
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 3: Now get back to the alien ship. And on the

427
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: alien ship there is like a there's like a disembodied

428
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: head that I think has these wires coming out of it.

429
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: It's like gold or something. It's weird looking.

430
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: As for the question about Chewbacco's bow caster we talked

431
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: about in the previous Listener Mail episode, I can't remember

432
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: exactly where we landed there. Sort of a crossbow but

433
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: also sort of not a crossbow. I think that's a

434
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 2: fair way to put it.

435
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: I'd say, actually, it is not only sort of a crossbow,

436
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 3: it's fully a crossbow because it does shoot physical bolts

437
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: or not just substantial massive bolts like Remember it's not

438
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: just plasma. There's metal stuff coming out of Chewy's crossbow.

439
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 2: That's right, it's a bolt that has like a plasma coating.

440
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: So that's what's crashing into your storm Trooper armor.

441
00:23:59,560 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: Bam.

442
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: Oh wait there's more. I forgot. There's a PSPs Joe.

443
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: For the record, I really didn't need an excuse to

444
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 2: rewatch the Gargoyles movie. It was a fun, nostalgic watch.

445
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: That's the made for TV movie about gargoyles that live

446
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: in a cave under the desert, which I have not watched,

447
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: by the way, but I don't know. It came up

448
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 3: for some reason. I think maybe because it was early

449
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: effects worked by Stan Winston, and it had some interesting

450
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 3: cast members who was in it, like Bernie Casey's in

451
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 3: Bernie Casey and like Scott Glenn or somebody.

452
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 2: Yep, Scott Glenn. Yeah. I mean it's got a god

453
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 2: of there are a number of things interesting about it.

454
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 2: So I saw it long ago, like on a lazy

455
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon on A and E. I think, so, yeah,

456
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: it'd be worth coming back to it. Looks like Scott

457
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: Scott Glenn's really young in this, younger than you would

458
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 2: ever guess Scott Glenn ever was okay?

459
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: Should we call it there?

460
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: All right? Yeah, let's go ahead and close the book

461
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: on this episode of Listener Mail. But there will be

462
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: more in the future, you know, the dri core episodes

463
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Mondays we do listener Mail.

464
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: Wednesdays we usually do in an artifact or monster fact episode,

465
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: and on Fridays we set aside most serious concerns to
