Josh says, Hey, Robert and Joe. Oh, 17 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: I've been having so much fun playing around the story 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: generating AI you guys recently talked about. I used this 19 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: as an opportunity to throw back to one of my 20 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: favorite episodes that you guys have done, discussing the Library 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: of Babel, the mind bending thought provoking nature of the 22 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: whole concept of stuck with me. Since I heard the 23 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: episode years ago. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to 24 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 1: know what would happen if one could actually find the book, 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: the one that holds the key to the mysteries of 26 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: the library. I give you title the book, and then 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: if I'm reading the punctuation here right, I think Josh 28 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: begins with the with the the feed incidents. After wandering 29 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: for countless years in the library of Babel, I had 30 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: finally stumbled upon the book. From here, the Machine rights 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: a tone of unimaginable knowledge and power. It contained the 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: secrets to all things. I could control the elements, some 33 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: in spirits, and even travel through time. With this book, 34 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: I could become the most powerful being in the Uni Verse. 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: But the book had a price. In order to read it, 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: I had to sacrifice my own soul. I hesitated for 37 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: a moment, but then decided that it was worth it. 38 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 1: I opened the Tone and began to read. But as 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: I did, something began to change within me. The power 40 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: of the book was intoxicating, and I began to feel 41 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: like I was in control. The longer I read, the 42 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: more I became consumed by the magic of the tone. 43 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: I didn't notice when the other library patrons began to 44 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: disappear or when the police arrived to take the book away. 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: All I could focus on was the knowledge contained within 46 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: the pages. And then suddenly the book was gone. I 47 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: was alone, naked and exposed to the elements. The price 48 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: of the book had been my soul. Josh says he 49 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: left the story as it was generated on the first attempt, 50 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: but was very attempted to change the word police into 51 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: the word inquisitors to fit more with the original story. 52 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: But he says it, but oh well, I'm still satisfied. 53 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: Thanks and keep up the good work. Josh. PS. If 54 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: you want to throw in another thought of mine, as 55 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: this is my first time writing in I briefly wanted 56 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: to touch on the document bloat that you guys mentioned 57 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: in your fact similar episodes. I work in healthcare and 58 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: the documentation slash note writing burden is definitely one of 59 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: the largest contributors to healthcare worker burnout. This is made 60 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: worse by the fact that certain notes are required to 61 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: have certain content for insurance and billing purposes, even if 62 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: not exactly useful to the readers. Slash other healthcare providers. 63 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: To be efficient in reviewing a patient's chart, one has 64 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: to become very good at skimming and inordinate volume of 65 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: text in order to identify and use some small piece 66 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: of actually useful information. With the ease of electronic charts, 67 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: digital copying, etcetera, it has certainly paved the way for 68 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: medical documentation to explode in terms of the amount to 69 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: write and a few. While there are definitely benefits to 70 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: electronic charting, the note bloat that has overtaken the system 71 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 1: is certainly a barrier and burden for much of day 72 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: to day practice. That's all for now, Josh, Well, thanks 73 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: for writing in, Josh. Uh. I enjoyed the note bloat 74 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: note here, but as as I've been enjoying, I really 75 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: enjoyed this UH, this bit of AI assisted text here. 76 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: I think the the impulse to go back and change 77 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: just a few things to perfect it, I think that 78 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: that probably speaks volumes regarding where we're going to be 79 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: going with AI human creative endeavors in the future. Well, yeah, Robert, 80 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how this UH meshes with your thinking, 81 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: but it seems to me unlikely that at any point 82 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: and even the middle distant future that AI is going 83 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: to be able to write stories that are truly compelling 84 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: from beginning to end in a way that you know, 85 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: would be like the stories humans could tell. But I 86 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: can certainly see how they could be a tool for 87 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: human writers. There's sort of a way of generating interesting 88 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: ideas that can fuel the real creativity that takes place 89 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: in the human brain. Yeah, yeah, it's it'll probably what's 90 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: the name of the little paper clip that used to 91 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: pop up on computers clippy clippy like clip, you will 92 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: pop up and instead of saying, oh, I see your 93 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: writing a letter, and be like, oh, I see your 94 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: writing a sci fi thriller involving robots and pets. I 95 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: have a few few ideas for how we might devolve 96 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: the plot. Yeah, I see that your story has an 97 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: infinite book. Would you like to have your protagonists lose 98 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: their soul? Absolutely? All right? Well, you know next we're 99 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna get into some leftovers, and you know 100 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: what's better when it comes to leftovers than beans uh. 101 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: This is a response to our Vault episode on beans uh. 102 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: This is a fun exploration in which we we got 103 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,799 Speaker 1: to really get into some of like the supernatural ideas 104 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: around beans uh continues to fascinate me. But this is 105 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: what ghost Rock had to say. Hello Robert and Joe. 106 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: Longtime listener, first time emailer. Thank you to you and 107 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: your whole team for the excellent podcast. I love thinking 108 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: about the topics you've talked about in ways I had 109 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: never considered, as well as just the sheer fun of 110 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: your lighthearted approach. On listening to the rebroadcast or re 111 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: podcast of reconsider the Being Part two, a funny memory 112 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: resurfaced in my brain. Many years ago. David Letterman had 113 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: a daytime talk show predating the late night TV show. 114 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: Wow that Yeah, that would have been many years ago 115 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: for sure. For some reason, yeah, yeah, for some reason. 116 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: The only memory I have of it was an ad 117 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: for the show featuring a fake cooking segment, and it 118 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: went something like this, Today I'm cooking with David Letterman. 119 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: I'll show you how to make three bean salad with 120 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 1: only one kind of being and magic markers. Thanks again 121 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: for all you do and keep up the good work. 122 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: Ghost Rock. I've never seen this show, but that sounds 123 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: funny because who doesn't want to taste a magic marker? 124 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: You know your kids all have that experience. You're sitting there, 125 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: You're looking at the colors. You're like, these markers have 126 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: different colors, just like skittles have different colors, and the 127 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: different colors on the skittles are flavors, So the markers 128 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: must have flavors too, right, It's it's logic. Well, this 129 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: implies to there's really no taste difference in the beans 130 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: that say business like Rancho Gordo is just one guy 131 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: with a magic mark with a few different magic markers 132 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: and one type of bean, and and he's just coloring 133 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: them with different markers and sending them out as different varieties. 134 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: This actually got me thinking about something, the three beans 135 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: salad joke. I was talking to Rachel about this before 136 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: we recorded. Uh. I must admit that as much as 137 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: I respect beans and I love beans, I enjoy eating them, 138 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: I find the phrase three beans salad immensely unappealing. And 139 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: perhaps this is related to the fact that I also 140 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: love pasta, but generally experienced revulsion that the idea of 141 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: pasta salad and just personal preference. If you like these things, 142 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: that's great, but for me, like there are some things 143 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: that work great tossed in a vitigrette, and served cold. 144 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: And those things do not include feusily noodles and kidney beans. Well, 145 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: I have to agree to disagree. I do love a 146 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: good bean salad. I love a good pasta salad. I 147 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: guess three beans salad. It also kind of implies there 148 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: just three beans in there, which which is also not accurate. 149 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: I think it's often like, I don't know, it's like 150 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: green beans. That's a little misleading, even though it is 151 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: the same species. That's still your old fazziolist. That's just 152 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, without being shocked from the contato. Yeah, so 153 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: fresh green beans. And then I think usually kidney beans 154 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: and one other thing I don't know, candellini beans or something, 155 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: but I don't know. Again, I love beans, but I 156 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: think when they're cold that they have a kind of 157 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: more um merely kind of crystallized starch texture that I 158 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: do not enjoy as much as I enjoy the creamy 159 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: texture of a hot bean. That's my take. All right, Well, 160 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: let's move along. Looks like we have a little bit 161 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: of weird house cinema correspondents to get into here. Yeah, 162 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: let's see. Oh well, so before we get the weird 163 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: house cinema, there's one that's about previous listener mail, but 164 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: then sort of trending in the weird house direction. So 165 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: this concerns the previous listener mail about local horror hosts. 166 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: Remember the talk was about, you know, they used to 167 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: show like old horror movies on TV and it wouldn't 168 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: be just the movie. You'd have Al Lewis or Al 169 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: Elvira or somebody there like introducing the parts of the movie, 170 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: making jokes about it, doing the commercial breaks and so forth. 171 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: And and we were talking about the you know, distinct 172 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: pleasures of watching a movie that way, especially wanting to 173 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: find out about all the local media market horror hosts 174 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: that were less familiar with uh So here we heard 175 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: from Pat. Pat says enjoyed the listener mail today. I 176 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: got the impression you were unaware of the quote shock 177 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: package sold to local television stations by screen Jim's in 178 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: the late fifties. The horror hosts you mentioned were in 179 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: many cities. Mine was Zacherle, So I looked up Zacharly. 180 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: I was not previously familiar. I think this is somebody 181 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: named John Zacherley who did work as a horror host 182 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: but also had like a horror comedy novelty rock and 183 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: roll songs from the fifties, including one called a Dinner 184 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: with Drack in ninety eight. Rob, I think we should 185 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: listen to that for a moment and then comment on 186 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: it or dessert there was batwing confetti and the veins 187 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: of a mommy named Betty. I first frowned upon it, 188 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: but catch up on it. It tasted very much like spaghetti. 189 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: I just want to point out that Dinner with Drack 190 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: does predate the Monster Ash, so if one is a 191 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: rip off of the other, it's it's Monster Mash that 192 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: came later. Yeah. It definitely lands in the expected zone 193 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: for what novelty hard track should be. But it's pretty 194 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: fun too. It has like a little bit of um 195 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: what a screening Jay Hawkins kind of vibe to it 196 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: without being that outlandish and bad in your face. Yeah, 197 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: it's got a real ripping saxophone lead. Uh, and the 198 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: lyrics are like we I was dining with Drack at 199 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: his house by the sea, and but I choked on 200 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: my wine when I discovered the main course was me classic, classic, good, good, 201 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: but not quite as good as lay Law as monster rapping. 202 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: Is that the first time we've mentioned Monster rapping on 203 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: the show Monster Rapping. Uh, No, we definitely talked we've 204 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: I think we've talked about it a little bit, um 205 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: Monsters wrapping, the crypt Keeper rap and so forth group 206 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: Keeper jam. Was it? No? No, no, the song Monster Rapping? 207 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: Remember the law a Monster rapping? Oh, the one that 208 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: is a very early dr dre worked on. Yeah. I 209 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: don't think we've talked about it on the show, have we? 210 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: But Oh, that's a that's an obscure but wonderful track 211 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: that everyone should, well not everyone, some people should look 212 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: up if you want, you know, everyone should. It's awesome 213 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: lay law l A y l a W Monster Wrapping. 214 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: It's beautiful, it is, it's it's one of the best 215 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: novelty Halloween tracks you could possibly find. Oh anyway, But 216 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: to finish Pat's message about the shock package sold by 217 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: screen Gems in the late fifties, um Pat says the 218 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: package included many of the Universal Studios classic monsters. My 219 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: family made a Saturday night for many years with these movies. Hey, 220 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: that's good family time. Often the print was very bad, 221 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: poor sound, crazy edits scratches. When these films were remastered, 222 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: many seemed like a new film. Thanks again, Pat. Yeah, yeah, 223 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: thanks for pointing this out. Yeah, the Shock Theater or 224 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: Shock package a bunch of what pre nineteen horror films 225 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: and you can pull up a list of these online. 226 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: There's a wicky about them. Uh yeah, some great stuff 227 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: on that list. I don't know the whole story that. 228 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: It makes me wonder, like, did they send out a 229 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: like a a daytime horror host kit. Uh, They're like, 230 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to develop your own host. We can't 231 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: supply that. Here are some useful props to consider. Here 232 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: is some Google makeup to put on. Somebody. Find someone 233 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: in your organization that can do this. All right, here's 234 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: another one that someone comes to us from Jason. Jason says, Hi, 235 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: guys love the podcast, particularly the Weird House Cinema episodes. 236 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: I thought your review of Robot Jocks was great and 237 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: wanted to let you know I saw this film in 238 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: the theater at least half a dozen times in my 239 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: early teens. Yes, I was a total nerd, and I 240 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: don't regret it for a minute. I was surprised, though, 241 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: that you didn't mention Gary Graham appearing in Star Trek 242 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: Enterprise alongside one of the greatest ever wait for it, 243 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: the one and only Jeffrey Combs playing an and Dorian 244 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: commander with one broken antenna, which was never explained. Of course, 245 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: Mr Combs is absolutely one of the most underrated actors ever, 246 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: and if you were a fan, you should buy all 247 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: means check out the Justice League Unlimited animated series where 248 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: he does the voice of the question a hardcore conspiracy 249 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: theorist who holds nothing back. Hearing him explain that the 250 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: plastic tips of shoelaces are called aglets and that they 251 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: serve quote a far more sinister purpose is pure gold. 252 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: Thanks again for all the great content you put out there, 253 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: and keep up the good work, Jason ps. Including this 254 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: pick that I thought Robert would enjoy, and it is 255 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: uh a trio of images. We have the Enterprise here, 256 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: the U. S. S Enterprise, and it's as faster than 257 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: light travel in fiction. Uh, Star Trek we use warp engines, 258 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: and then we see a star Destroyer to the Star 259 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: Wars we use hyper drives, and then we see a 260 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: ship from Warhammer forty thousand and it says, uh, we 261 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: traveled through Hell, which is true. That's that's how they 262 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: got to get around. Basically that I think that's come 263 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: up on the show before because we commented that must 264 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: have been the inspiration for Event Horizon. Yeah. Yeah, a 265 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: lot of people have have connected those two, and again 266 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: Event Horizon was not shy about taking, uh, borrowing ideas 267 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: from other properties and sort of stitching together into into 268 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: into the movie. Um, so yeah, they might have. They 269 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: might very well have been inspired by by Warhammer to 270 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: create their what turned out to be a hell Drive 271 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: in that movie. So I've never heard of this DC 272 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: character the question before this is the one that was 273 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: voiced by Jeffrey Combs in the cartoon. But that sounds 274 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: like a great idea. I've always thought we should have 275 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: a superhero version of Dale Gribble. Yeah. I wasn't failiar 276 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: with this guy either, but I even I mean, DC 277 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: has been around for so long. Yeah, they a rich 278 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: rogues gallery. Uh and then they're always getting retooled and 279 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: rediscovered and recreated to uh to to to to re 280 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: debut in comics and in comic book related properties. But 281 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: I agree Jeffrey Combs, there's nothing like a Jeffrey Combs performance. 282 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: I guess um he was in The Giver. Remember he 283 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: shows at the very end as the scientist who's doing 284 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: some kind of unethical experiment. Then he suddenly turns into 285 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: one of the big jiggling monsters, and then I think 286 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: it's uh disemboweled because the mcguffin gets thrown down his mouth. Yeah, 287 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: we haven't watched a pure Jeffrey Combs movie yet, like 288 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: something in which he stars, So I don't know. I 289 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: don't know if there there's one out there that would 290 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: be the right fit. Well, I don't think it's a 291 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: good movie at all, but I just do want to 292 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: remind you that the third Reanimator movie is the one 293 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: with that techno that euro disco song in it where 294 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: the chorus is reanimate your feet. Oh yes, yes, all right, Well, 295 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: on that note, we're gonna go ahead and close out. 296 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: But if we'd love to hear from everyone out there, 297 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: if you have responses to any of the listener mails 298 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: in this episode, right in, if you have responses to oh, current, past, 299 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: future episodes of Stuff to Blow your Mind, a Weird 300 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: how cinema, right in, we'd love to hear from you. 301 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: In the meantime, you'll find core episodes of the show 302 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the Stuff to Blow your 303 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: Mind podcast feed on Wednesday's We Do Short Form artifact 304 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: or monster Fact on Monday's We Do Listener mail, and 305 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: on Fridays we set aside most serious concerns to just 306 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: talk about a weird film.
