I'm gonna take this one, Okay, Yeah, 11 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: let's hear it. Over the course of his career, he 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: recorded more than five thousand film trailers, oh man previews, 13 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: five thousand previews, seven and fifty thousand television spots like 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: commercials and promos and all that stuff. 15 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: I bet Don Lafontaine when he passed away in two 16 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: thousand and eight, I think thousand and eight was a 17 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: very very rich man. 18 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: I would think so, I would think so. And good 19 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: for him, sure, I mean he did it with his 20 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: own hard work. I mean, by the end of his life, 21 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: he was working basically till the end. Yeah, and by 22 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: the end of his life. He had built out a 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: home office and was averaging seven voiceovers a day, which 24 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: you if you don't do voiceovers, you're probably like, that 25 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like that much. I'd knock that out in 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: like fifteen minutes. Yeah, no, you wouldn't, because it's actually 27 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: surprisingly difficult, and if you're actually working with the professional company, 28 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: they will make you do that over and over and 29 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: over again, and it is quite it's quite awful. I 30 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: don't recommend it. Yeahbody who doesn't love voiceover? 31 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, we read our audiobook and it was not fun. 32 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: And this is two guys who talked for a living 33 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: into a microphone and it was pretty painstaking. 34 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the director was even great. 35 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,919 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, everyone did a great job. Everyone was awesome. 36 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: It had nothing to do with that. It was just 37 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: very monotonous. It just wasn't for us. You know, we're 38 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: very off the cuff obviously the way we do our show, 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: and did not transfer over to like exact readings of things. 40 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, like exact. It has to be exact 41 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: or you'll get yelled at all. 42 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: Right, So Don Lafontaine was born in Duluth, Minnesota. He 43 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: served in the military and the well, he was in 44 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: the army because he was in the United States Army 45 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: Band and Chorus and worked as a recording engineer there, 46 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: and once he got out, he continued engineering at the 47 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: National Recording Studios in New York City, and in nineteen 48 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: sixty two he got hooked up with a producer radio 49 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: producer named Floyd Peterson, and Peterson just happened to be 50 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: working with Stanley the Great Stanley Kuper Come Doctor Strangelove 51 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: was creating these kind of radio promos and it was 52 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: like really successful. So he and Lafontaine hooked up and said, 53 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 2: all right, we should like be like legit partners from 54 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: now on. 55 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, they did legitimize that. They formed Floyd L. Peterson, Inc. 56 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: And I think this is the impression I have is 57 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: that initially Don la Fontaine just kept doing his engineering thing. 58 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think so. 59 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: It wasn't until nineteen sixty five, a few years into 60 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: their partnership that I guess there was some scheduling mix 61 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: up and a voiceover actor didn't show up on time 62 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: or for their slot, so Don la Fontan had to 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: step in and record some radio spots for the Gunfighters 64 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: of Casa Grande for MGM, and MGM said, brother, we 65 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: are just gonna buy this whole thing outright. This proof 66 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: of concept is done. You invented the plane with the 67 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: seatback trays and everything right out of the gate. 68 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, hey, you with a perfect voice, give 69 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: this a shot. 70 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: Exactly. 71 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: This is at a time when film production and promotion 72 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: were all kind of done in house, like you made 73 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: the movie and then you didn't go to a different 74 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: company to like cut the trailer or whatever. Like they 75 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: did it all themselves, right, And they were like, hey, 76 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: I think we can disrupt this tradition. And they I 77 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: don't know why that was funny. Why was that funny? 78 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: Disruptors disruption? It's just such like a twenty thirteen horrible 79 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley horror show. 80 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. I wasn't thinking of it in the terms of disruptors, 81 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: but they literally disrupted. 82 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right, yeah, but no, no, I mean 83 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: I wasn't laughing at you chose. 84 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: No, No, I know you're laughing at people that used 85 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: were disruptors with a straight face. 86 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the disruptors themselves. 87 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, sure, all right, so they were disruptors straight faced, 88 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: and they said they kind of developed the modern movie 89 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: trailer as we know it together. It was you know 90 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: it was. It was a very creative time for them, 91 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: and they were the first to create these like catchphrases 92 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: that are now very ubiquitous across the trailer industry. And 93 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: you know this example, I think this came from the 94 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: New York Times Obituary or maybe sag aftra or Don 95 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 2: Lafontaine dot com. But they listed some of these sort 96 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: of catchphrases that are now just all over the place, 97 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: like a one man army or nowhere to run, nowhere 98 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: to hide and no way out. But of course in 99 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: a world was the money slogan, and Lafontaine just kind 100 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: of crystallized it when he was like, it's just a 101 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: very rapid way to set the scene when you can 102 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: say in a world where where violence rules, like that 103 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: kind of says it all. And just a handful of 104 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: words about what kind of movie you're about. 105 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: To see, Yeah, because if a ninety minute movie is 106 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: ideal to have like a nice, steady, crisp clip, yeah, 107 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: a trailer has to be evening crisper, even at a 108 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: steadier clip. You have to be able to, yeah, surmise 109 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff from just a few words, and 110 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: that was a I mean, that was a great innovation. 111 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: I saw basically everywhere that he's the one that came 112 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: up with that. He's certainly credited with. I get the 113 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: impression no Hollywood historian has actually gone to the trouble 114 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: of identifying that. Yes, he definitely was the one who 115 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: pioneered it. Everybody's like, yeah, it was Don la Fontaine. 116 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 2: Yeah all right, Uh, nice caveat, And we'll be back 117 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 2: right after this with more on the Voice of God. 118 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: As why why k. 119 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: All right? So in a world is the kind kind 120 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: of thing that has been parodied many, many times over 121 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 2: the years. Like once it became so ubiquitous, every comedian 122 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: latched onto it. They were in Geico commercials, The Simpsons 123 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: movie like used Don Lafontaine and at the end, like 124 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: Homer was talking back to Don Lafontaine as the voice 125 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: of God and that was kind of fun. So obviously 126 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: that's the kind of thing that's going to be parodied. 127 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: But as far as his real career goes, we can 128 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: go back to nineteen seventy six when he started his 129 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: own production company, Don Lafontaine Associates, and his first assignment 130 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 2: Out of the Gate was Godfather Part two, and two 131 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: years later, Paramount Pictures said, hey, why don't you just 132 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: come work for us and run our trailer department. 133 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he said, katching, I'll be right there. Yes, 134 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: I always loved your mountain logo. Yeah, me too, that 135 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: that was such a great thing. At the beginning of 136 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: Raiders of the Lost, art dissolves from the Paramount logo 137 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: into the actual mountain. 138 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: I knew you're going to say that. I just Disclosure 139 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: Day the new Spielberg, and I highly recommend it. 140 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: Okay, good. I saw back rooms in the theater twice 141 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: within three days. Oh wow, I really liked it a lot. 142 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, did you see you twice just because 143 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: you wanted to? Or you're like, oh I got to 144 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 2: take you me back and see. 145 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: This both of those? 146 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: Okay, cool, Yeah, that's fine. 147 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, so but yes, I recommend that as well. I'll 148 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: go see Disclosure Day. Yeah, you're the second group of 149 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: people who recommended it. 150 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: I'm a group. You are amazing. 151 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: That's how important you are. 152 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: All right. So he worked at Paramount for just a 153 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: few years. Left in eighty one moved to la which 154 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 2: is ironically where a Paramount is. And there was an 155 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: agent named Steve Tisherman who said, hey, you should really 156 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: like like he wasn't the voice of God, the voice 157 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: of God yet in nineteen eighty one he were like, 158 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: you should really just concentrate on this because you're so 159 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: good at it. Sure, and that was it. That's when 160 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: he really cemented his legacy as just the voiceover guy. 161 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: Yeah. Real, quick question, Chuck, why does Steve Tisherman's name 162 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: sound familiar? I did not get a chance to look 163 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: him up, but I don't know.

And it was 191 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: just an average everyday story. So they hired Don la 192 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: Fontaine to kind of movie it up, and so he 193 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: was translating what the woman was saying.

Can't remember that. 204 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: He did it actually come out? I remember it was 205 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: a yeah, okay, yeah. I didn't know if they actually 206 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: made it to air, but I knew it. It was 207 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: a thing. It was rough, Yeah, I mean that probably 208 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 2: wasn't Some things are best leftist thirty minute or thirty 209 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: second ads, you know, right, like most things. Probably. 210 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, America is very fickle, so this is well. 211 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's surprising or not, because he 212 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: kind of had that deep baritone. But he was an 213 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 2: on and off smoker for a lot of his life 214 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: and he had quit though for two solid decades. He 215 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 2: did the right thing before he was admitted to Cedar 216 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 2: Sinai very sadly in two thousand and eight with the 217 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: pulmonary embolism. Was in critical condition the week after that, 218 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: and his family was like, let's pray for Dawn, Like 219 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 2: he needs to hear from everybody, And on September first, 220 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, he passed at the age of 221 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: sixty eight, ten days into his hospitalization, and he is 222 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 2: interned at the fantastic legendary Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which is great. 223 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: Which we did a whole short stuff on itself. 224 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right. 225 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. Apparently his last final performance was in a Phineas 226 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: and ferb episode. I'm pretty sure, and I know it's 227 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: a cartoon. I'm pretty sure it's Nickelodeon cartoon. The episode 228 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: is the Chronicles of Meep if you want to go 229 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: hear him. His final line was in a World there 230 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: I said it happy. This is a great final line. 231 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: And they put a little short tribute to him at 232 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: the end of the episode, so good for them. 233 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 2: I wonder if he has a star on the Hollywood 234 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: Walk of Fame, because he totally should. 235 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: If he doesn't, then the Walk of Fame needs to 236 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: get their act together. 237 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm looking that up real quick because that was 238 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: something that I meant to look up earlier. 239 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: Well, hold on, while you're looking that up, let me 240 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: mention there's a twenty thirteen movie written and directed by 241 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: Lake Bell. Oh yeah, called a World, and it's about 242 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: like the voiceover World. I guess. Yeah. 243 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's great. 244 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't seen it. Have you seen it? 245 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: I have not seen that movie, but I'm a fan 246 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: of Blake Bell from Children's Hospital. Uh, And I've just learned. 247 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: And of course I don't know if this is right 248 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: or not. The AI overviews are so bad it's hysterical. 249 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes let me just make something. 250 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: Up because that says no. But then I'm seeing a 251 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: picture of him with a star, so maybe yes. Yesterday 252 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 2: I asked, uh, whatever the stupid assistant in my house is, uh, 253 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: because I wasn't sure if Ireland had made the World 254 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 2: Cup this year? And I said Ireland in the World 255 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 2: Cup and it said no, Ireland is an Ireland. 256 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: God. 257 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, not a joke. Wow, pretty unbelievable. 258 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: At least it acknowledge that Ireland exists. 259 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's making everything better. 260 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: Right sure? Yeah, but like by this all. 261 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: Right, So I'll do some real research and see if 262 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 2: he has that star on the Walk of Fame and 263 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: I'll report back later. 264 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, because ironically, the AI assistant could be right because 265 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: another AI program created a fake picture of him on 266 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: with the star. Yeah, what a time to be alive. 267 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: I know. 268 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: That's it.
