these sad news.

62
00:03:21,070 --> 00:03:23,350
Let's see what we got here.
Nicely done, Mark.

63
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:25,870
That's that's that's a heck of a
house cleaning.

64
00:03:26,270 --> 00:03:27,750
Yeah, I got, I got a paper and
everything.

65
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:33,270
It's so let's see sad news.
WCBS is a meteorologist.

66
00:03:33,470 --> 00:03:36,310
Elise Finch died recently.
As of this recording, which is

67
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:39,390
July 23rd, 2023, no close death
has been announced.

68
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:41,700
Elise had been with CBS for 16
years.

69
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:43,620
It's kind of weird.
We had just mentioned, I believe

70
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:46,660
last week's show, how Frank
Field was also a CBS

71
00:03:47,540 --> 00:03:49,820
meteorologist, had passed away
at the age of 100.

72
00:03:50,220 --> 00:03:52,540
And Elise?
She has been there for 16 years

73
00:03:52,540 --> 00:03:56,540
and she was only 51 years old.
CBS is doing a sweep.

74
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,300
That's terrible.
That's so terrible.

75
00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:01,660
That's probably what's
happening.

76
00:04:01,660 --> 00:04:03,700
I mean, just don't shoot the
messenger.

77
00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:07,860
I quit.
You're never hired.

78
00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:12,820
That's what makes it easy to
quit So last bit of sad news.

79
00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:17,220
Actor Nick Benedict also died
recently from complications from

80
00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:21,620
spinal surgery, which was
performed on July 14th, 23,

81
00:04:21,620 --> 00:04:25,180
which was his 77th birthday.
While Nick worked in a handful

82
00:04:25,180 --> 00:04:27,820
of TV shows, he is perhaps best
known for his role of Curtis

83
00:04:27,820 --> 00:04:32,580
Reid on a daytime So Days of Our
Lives or from 1993 to 2001.

84
00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:35,340
That was when he was there.
You're familiar with soap opera

85
00:04:35,340 --> 00:04:37,700
and Jen is looking at no OK
Hassan.

86
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,780
No, but it just sounds terrible
that he was having an operation

87
00:04:41,780 --> 00:04:44,500
to make his life better and he
just died on his birthday.

88
00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:47,420
Like Happy birthday.
Avoid.

89
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,300
Spying the triple whammy right
there.

90
00:04:49,420 --> 00:04:52,700
So he was 77.
So that's it for our sad news.

91
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:54,820
So we're going to take a quick
break and we're going to get

92
00:04:54,860 --> 00:04:56,100
back to the rest news.
We'll be right back.

Other than that, you can do

137
00:07:34,730 --> 00:07:39,330
whatever you want.
Also they cannot perform covered

138
00:07:39,330 --> 00:07:42,100
at services in the future.
They can't have any agreement

139
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:45,180
related to merchandising
connected to a covered project,

140
00:07:45,420 --> 00:07:47,820

Rias regions of private work.
So what can they do?

142
00:07:55,980 --> 00:08:00,900
Members may be may be allowed to
work on projects produced by non

143
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:03,940
alliance of the Motion Picture
and Television producers related

144
00:08:03,940 --> 00:08:07,340
to product companies and if
products qualifies for a Quote,

145
00:08:07,340 --> 00:08:10,060
UN quote interim agreement.
A list of eligible products are

146
00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:13,920
posted on the website.
They can do appearances, panels,

147
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,120
fan meet and greet are all OK as
long as they do not promote any

148
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,280
work by the companies.
They can do autographs which are

149
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,840
headshots or similar photos, but
photos should not depict

150
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,760
themselves as a character from
the work they can do.

151
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,680
When they do panels, Q&A's,
general topics are fine, such as

152
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,000
about the process, why they want
to be an actor, what they like,

153
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,720
dislike about working in the
industry, that's fine, but

154
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,080
discussing characters on the
work or work for companies?

155
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,500
That is not allowed.
Of note, the previous actors

156
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:46,860
strike lasted 95 days way back
in 1980.

157
00:08:47,020 --> 00:08:51,100
As of this recording we are on
day 83 of the writers strike and

158
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:54,260
day nine of the actors strike.
Elman Jenny Fellaby as a

159
00:08:54,380 --> 00:08:58,540
actress, writer, producer.
But you mostly do non union

160
00:08:58,540 --> 00:09:01,140
work, right?
My gut told me a long time ago,

161
00:09:01,140 --> 00:09:04,140
do not join SAG.
People asked and I said never.

162
00:09:04,140 --> 00:09:07,220
I'm trying not to join and I'm
so glad I'm not part of this

163
00:09:07,220 --> 00:09:09,200
gang.
I mean, my heart goes out to

164
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,440
everyone who's affected, who's
part of the gang, but it's never

165
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,920
been my thing.
How crazy is this?

166
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,960
Or is it justified?
Should this be what they do?

167
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,280
I'm not really surprised at all.
I mean, it's the only way to

168
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,200
have an effective strike and get
what you want is for everyone to

169
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,800
stand together.
And I guess I'm not a team

170
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,040
player or I'm just hyper
independent.

171
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,080
But this doesn't appeal to me.
I'd rather I'd rather be by

172
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,640
myself in the ocean, flawing my
arms or with you creating this

173
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,720
independent show.
And Brian, hello.

174
00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:40,470
Then in the gang.
It's a gang.

175
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:42,630
What about your son?
What do you think about this

176
00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:46,550
whole thing?
I agree.

177
00:09:46,590 --> 00:09:50,390
I mean, you do have to stand
together in order for it's

178
00:09:50,390 --> 00:09:52,390
collective bargaining.
You have to be a collective if

179
00:09:52,390 --> 00:09:54,190
you're going to do something
like that.

180
00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:58,150
And I agree with you.
Unfortunately, I think this is

181
00:09:58,150 --> 00:10:01,550
going to last a long time.
I think it's going to go on and

182
00:10:01,550 --> 00:10:06,990
on for longer than anyone is
anticipating and I.

183
00:10:07,870 --> 00:10:11,190
Look, I think that a I is an
important thing to to have

184
00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:13,550
regulated.
You know, I think it's important

185
00:10:13,550 --> 00:10:16,110
to to to nip this in the bud
before it actually people

186
00:10:16,110 --> 00:10:20,990
actually seriously start losing
money and jobs and and security

187
00:10:20,990 --> 00:10:22,990
over it.
So I think that's important.

188
00:10:22,990 --> 00:10:25,510
I think that I think it's
important that the actors are on

189
00:10:25,510 --> 00:10:28,150
strike, even though it wasn't
coordinated like that, because

190
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:31,950
it may help the writers, you
know, because nobody cares about

191
00:10:31,950 --> 00:10:34,430
the writers.
But you can't do anything

192
00:10:34,430 --> 00:10:36,910
without the actors, so at least
not yet, you know.

193
00:10:37,810 --> 00:10:39,650
Yeah.
Well, I mean, yeah, that's the

194
00:10:39,650 --> 00:10:41,530
whole point, right?
What most of this is about.

195
00:10:41,530 --> 00:10:44,130
Yeah.
So, you know, I'm for it.

196
00:10:44,130 --> 00:10:45,970
I'm all for it.
I think, you know, I think

197
00:10:45,970 --> 00:10:49,170
everybody who works and does
their job should be paid.

198
00:10:49,450 --> 00:10:52,370
And I think that that should be
a living wage, especially if

199
00:10:52,370 --> 00:10:54,250
you're, you know, if you're
doing one of the most high

200
00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:57,930
profile, you know, kind of jobs
in entertainment.

201
00:10:59,770 --> 00:11:01,170
So.
So yeah, I'm all for it.

202
00:11:01,170 --> 00:11:04,530
I just hope it doesn't last
super long for the sake of

203
00:11:04,530 --> 00:11:06,430
everyone.
Mostly for the sake of the

204
00:11:06,430 --> 00:11:09,110
people who are doing it, because
no one's getting paid while all

205
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:11,750
this is going on, right?
Well, the production's saying

206
00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:15,150
that they're gonna wait until
the actors or the writers lose

207
00:11:15,150 --> 00:11:17,270
their homes.
I've heard that.

208
00:11:17,270 --> 00:11:19,870
I've heard that they're ready to
put their foot in the ground and

209
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:22,510
they're gonna stand strong.
Yeah, if it all goes down.

210
00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:26,350
I mean, the system is broken.
Almost every system we have

211
00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:30,570
since, like the 90s, it's.
It's not really relevant

212
00:11:30,570 --> 00:11:32,130
anymore.
So we're seeing a breakdown of

213
00:11:32,130 --> 00:11:35,370
systems in every realm of life
right now, and people are trying

214
00:11:35,370 --> 00:11:38,690
to hang on and hang on and make
it work, you know, with unions.

215
00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:43,210
But I think we're just seeing a
total, a total crash and we have

216
00:11:43,210 --> 00:11:45,210
to rebuild.
It's yeah.

217
00:11:45,690 --> 00:11:48,010
So if you look at this from the,
as I was doing the Devil's

218
00:11:48,010 --> 00:11:51,730
Advocate last week, looking at
this from the producers side for

219
00:11:51,730 --> 00:11:56,930
stockholders, should we like by
by being on strike, They're

220
00:11:56,930 --> 00:12:00,440
essentially not spending money
on making productions and

221
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,280
products and they're still
showing out products and stuff.

222
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,960
So right now for shareholders
wise, at least in the short

223
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,640
term, their, their money is good
because they're not losing any

224
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,720
money and they're still making
in whatever's coming in after

225
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,760
what the products they're
putting out.

226
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,720
Of course, when we hit that
bubble, when they don't have

227
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,800
anything else to put out or if
it's all reality shows, that's a

228
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,080
whole different story.
But right now for the short

229
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,440
term, a strike for the
production companies may be a

230
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,360
good thing if you think about it
in that way.

231
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,810
Yeah, I mean.
Everybody, if anybody smart,

232
00:12:30,810 --> 00:12:34,570
anybody strategic and smart, can
use something like this to their

233
00:12:34,570 --> 00:12:36,570
own advantage.
Every time there's a there's a

234
00:12:36,570 --> 00:12:40,130
serious shake up where there's a
lot of confusion, where there's,

235
00:12:40,130 --> 00:12:42,250
you know, there's a lot of
emotions on the line.

236
00:12:42,250 --> 00:12:46,250
People who keep their heads and
actually plan can can, you know,

237
00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:49,930
can profit mightily from a lot
of this stuff, you know, But as

238
00:12:49,930 --> 00:12:53,490
it goes on, you know, the longer
it lasts, the more desperate

239
00:12:53,490 --> 00:12:55,850
people become.
That's when that's when a lot of

240
00:12:55,850 --> 00:12:59,220
the the the problems.
Really start to spring up from

241
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:01,300
something like this.
Yeah, I wonder if people would

242
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:04,660
be dropping out of the union.
I wonder if that's an option and

243
00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:06,980
be like, no thanks, I'm dropping
out and then I'm gonna do my own

244
00:13:06,980 --> 00:13:09,020
thing.
Well, I think once you're out of

245
00:13:09,020 --> 00:13:12,580
the union, you can't do union
work, and a lot of people want

246
00:13:12,660 --> 00:13:15,180
that union work.
Yeah, yeah, they're still.

247
00:13:15,180 --> 00:13:17,860
Breaking out's not gonna be a
problem, but getting back in is

248
00:13:17,860 --> 00:13:20,380
gonna be a nightmare if
everybody gets what they want or

249
00:13:20,380 --> 00:13:25,130
they manage to settle.
And then you're going to want to

250
00:13:25,130 --> 00:13:26,970
try to get back in.
There's going to be a lot of

251
00:13:27,290 --> 00:13:30,210
hell to pay well at that point.
Well, that's why we were saying

252
00:13:30,210 --> 00:13:32,730
about all the list of things
that they can't do.

253
00:13:32,730 --> 00:13:35,050
If they do that, they're out,
they get kicked out and then

254
00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:37,450
they can't get back in because
getting back in is the thing.

255
00:13:38,050 --> 00:13:39,810
Yeah, I guess.
I don't know.

256
00:13:39,810 --> 00:13:43,010
I just don't.
I see more loss than value for

257
00:13:43,010 --> 00:13:46,170
me, right.
But as other type of actors and

258
00:13:46,170 --> 00:13:49,210
actresses with different acting
style like I feel like they kind

259
00:13:49,210 --> 00:13:52,100
of need it.
So this is a really sad thing,

260
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:54,980
you know, I sound very bitter,
like I want Hollywood to crumble

261
00:13:54,980 --> 00:13:58,140
and part of me does cuz a lot of
the things they've been doing is

262
00:13:58,140 --> 00:14:01,220
a little backwards and I've seen
a lot of people have their lives

263
00:14:01,220 --> 00:14:03,260
poorly affected.
So I say forget this whole

264
00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:04,260
system.
Sorry.

265
00:14:04,340 --> 00:14:08,620
So Speaking of moving on,
Speaking of movies from the.

266
00:14:09,380 --> 00:14:13,230
That's a lot of nuts department.
The new Mission Impossible

267
00:14:13,230 --> 00:14:16,710
sequel has taken the number one
spot in the domestic box office,

268
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:21,190
pulling in a quote UN quote
disappointing $54,000,000 in

269
00:14:21,190 --> 00:14:24,110
ticket sales in its first week
release for the Z Keeping track,

270
00:14:24,110 --> 00:14:26,430
the New Super Mario Brothers
movie is still the highest

271
00:14:26,430 --> 00:14:31,790
grossing film of this year with
$573.9 million and counting,

272
00:14:32,030 --> 00:14:35,790
followed by the new animated
Spiderman sequel with $368.8

273
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:37,950
million.
Mission Impossible comes in at

274
00:14:37,950 --> 00:14:41,890
19.
It's crazy when a disappointing

275
00:14:41,890 --> 00:14:44,970
film makes $54,000,000 in the
opening weekend and we were

276
00:14:44,970 --> 00:14:47,810
talking about that.
Before, it's disappointing

277
00:14:47,810 --> 00:14:51,610
because everybody keeps
comparing it to to the most

278
00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:54,370
successful film.
But if you compare it to other

279
00:14:54,370 --> 00:14:57,370
Mission Impossible films, it's
pretty much right along, right

280
00:14:57,370 --> 00:15:00,010
in line with the what the others
have been making.

281
00:15:00,370 --> 00:15:03,370
Mission Impossible is never like
a billion dollar franchise.

282
00:15:03,370 --> 00:15:07,210
It was very successful because
they managed their budgets and

283
00:15:07,210 --> 00:15:09,090
they, you know, they make a,
they make a very.

284
00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:13,580
They make a very respectable
return on it, but it would, you

285
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:16,380
know, like they they're
comparing it to Top Gun, right,

286
00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:18,620
Which was a phenomenon.
You know, they they really

287
00:15:18,620 --> 00:15:20,540
shouldn't.
You know, with Top Gun was a

288
00:15:20,540 --> 00:15:24,140
phenomenon for a lot of reasons.
Tom Cruise wasn't the only

289
00:15:24,140 --> 00:15:26,660
reason.
So it doesn't, it doesn't stand

290
00:15:26,660 --> 00:15:29,500
the reason that every Tom Cruise
movie from now on, it's going to

291
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:33,740
be a billion dollar boondoggle.
Whatever you want.

292
00:15:33,740 --> 00:15:36,340
To do you need a Val Kilmer?
That's.

293
00:15:36,780 --> 00:15:39,490
Amazing.
This should be possible because,

294
00:15:39,890 --> 00:15:42,530
I mean, this goes back to what
Jim was saying about the system

295
00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:44,610
is messed up and what we were
talking about in previous shows

296
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:48,490
about for some reason, somewhere
along the line, Studio said,

297
00:15:48,490 --> 00:15:51,690
hey, let's put in a bazillion
dollars into making these movies

298
00:15:52,370 --> 00:15:54,650
and then the results are not
coming back with what they

299
00:15:54,650 --> 00:16:04,770
thought.
Well it worked like that, pre

300
00:16:04,770 --> 00:15:56,050
pandemic.
Like they figure if I put in

301
00:15:56,050 --> 00:15:59,530
$100 million and I get a
300,000,000 movie, I put $300

302
00:15:59,530 --> 00:16:01,610
million in, I should get a $600
million movie.

303
00:16:01,610 --> 00:16:06,970
But it doesn't work like.
It hasn't worked like that for

304
00:16:06,970 --> 00:16:10,170
the last three years.
No one has remodeled their

305
00:16:10,330 --> 00:16:14,010
their, their business plan.
So and I mean you have to also

306
00:16:14,010 --> 00:16:19,570
remember as as as Jen absolutely
knows this is you know all this

307
00:16:19,570 --> 00:16:22,930
stuff is done well in advance
like a couple years ago.

308
00:16:22,930 --> 00:16:26,410
So a lot of the troubles that
these movies run into around a

309
00:16:26,410 --> 00:16:30,570
month to three months before
opening was not anticipated The

310
00:16:30,610 --> 00:16:34,370
year and a half prior when all
this these plans were being

311
00:16:34,370 --> 00:16:36,270
made.
So it's going to take about a

312
00:16:36,270 --> 00:16:39,830
year for Hollywood to just catch
up to the new status quo.

313
00:16:39,830 --> 00:16:43,710
A lot of these movies do do well
eventually, right?

314
00:16:43,710 --> 00:16:45,150
But nobody cares about
eventually.

315
00:16:45,150 --> 00:16:48,590
In theaters long enough for them
to make their money, you know.

316
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320
I think we're going to see a lot
more lower budget coming out,

317
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,320
including reality TV which is a
lot lower budget.

318
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,760
Stand up specials.
So much so, so much less of a

319
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,280
budget, Independent films,
movies made by comedians that's

320
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,319
going to become more popular and
also the whole idea of

321
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,319
disappointing 54,000,000.
Well let's give up hope and then

322
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:12,079
you won't be disappointed.
So hope is the problem here.

323
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,800
We should all be hopeless.
Is that what?

324
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,319
They should be hopeless.
Yeah.

325
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:19,460
Their standards are ridiculous.
So speaking, so Speaking of

326
00:17:19,460 --> 00:17:21,700
hopeless, since I am a huge
power.

327
00:17:23,140 --> 00:17:28,220
You have a segue for hopeless OK
from the It's morphing time.

328
00:17:28,220 --> 00:17:32,140
No more department.
None other than Hasbro has

329
00:17:32,140 --> 00:17:35,940
announced that the Power Rangers
will, after 20 years of filming

330
00:17:35,940 --> 00:17:39,220
in New Zealand, be moving
production to yet another

331
00:17:39,220 --> 00:17:42,180
disclosed location.
Executives say no close.

332
00:17:42,540 --> 00:17:44,020
We are committed to keeping, I
thought.

333
00:17:44,140 --> 00:17:46,660
You were going to say that they
were canceling Power Rangers and

334
00:17:46,660 --> 00:17:48,150
then?
You're going to have a mini

335
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:51,950
meltdown.
Well, well, this is the the

336
00:17:51,950 --> 00:17:54,870
start of it.
So execs say we are committed to

337
00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:57,630
keeping Power Rangers fresh by
reimagining the brand how we are

338
00:17:57,630 --> 00:17:58,990
bringing entertainment to our
life.

339
00:17:59,310 --> 00:18:01,910
For our consumers, we've been in
communication with teams to

340
00:18:01,910 --> 00:18:03,750
ensure they are set up for
success in their next

341
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:05,390
adventures.
We have had the pleasure of

342
00:18:05,390 --> 00:18:08,110
working with such incredible and
talented teams in New Zealand

343
00:18:08,110 --> 00:18:10,790
and plan to keep close for any
future projects that may be a

344
00:18:10,790 --> 00:18:13,550
fit for Power Rangers or across
any of our future entertainment

345
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:15,680
productions.
According to reports, filming in

346
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,520
New Zealand over the years has
brought in about $340 million to

347
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,760
local economy as well as quote a
pathway for actors and local

348
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,960
crew into the industry.
UN quote As as I've been

349
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:30,480
compilating the news, I've also
found out that they are slowing

350
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,000
down the toy line for Hasbro on
the Power Rangers.

351
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,920
So they as of right now, they
haven't announced where the new

352
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,160
season is going to be.
And then well, maybe.

353
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,360
But the fact that there's a now
a writer strike and an actor

354
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:45,640
strike, this might kill the
Power Rangers franchise.

355
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,280
It might be over.
The possibility.

356
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,840
So the fact that they decided to
stop production where they've

357
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,000
been doing it for the past 20
years, and then all this stuff

358
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,600
happens, and then now we're in a
position where there's no new

359
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,320
cast, there's no information
coming out, and he's saying a

360
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,640
Comic Con is happening right
now.

361
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,320
It's winding up right now.
No new Power Rangers

362
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,120
announcements really, except
that the conflict is coming out,

363
00:19:09,670 --> 00:19:13,990
so it's very interesting.
To require actors or studios or

364
00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:16,430
anything, right And.
For the comic book, very

365
00:19:16,430 --> 00:19:19,750
interesting that this might be
the male and the coffin.

366
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:22,030
Or a pause?
Well, I mean, it's been going.

367
00:19:22,030 --> 00:19:26,150
The show's been going on for 30
years with one pause, and it was

368
00:19:26,150 --> 00:19:28,950
a very, very poor pause.
If I remember correctly, what

369
00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:31,590
they did was they took the
original season and then they

370
00:19:31,590 --> 00:19:35,180
added like really a $2.00
special graphics to it and they

371
00:19:35,180 --> 00:19:37,580
re aired that first season and
it was horrible.

372
00:19:37,580 --> 00:19:39,980
And people just tend to forget
that I ever, haven't ever

373
00:19:39,980 --> 00:19:42,820
happened.
But excluding that, there's

374
00:19:42,940 --> 00:19:45,540
always been a continuous new
Power Rangers season.

375
00:19:45,740 --> 00:19:48,780
Maybe they're like piggybacking
and falling along the whole sag

376
00:19:48,780 --> 00:19:52,180
thing, so they don't stand out
and seem like me, like standing

377
00:19:52,180 --> 00:19:53,780
out like a sore thumb.
Maybe.

378
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:55,300
Maybe they don't want to piss
people off.

379
00:19:55,540 --> 00:19:56,340
Maybe.
I mean.

380
00:19:56,540 --> 00:20:02,260
I can see that I it's just it's
crazy how they has robot the

381
00:20:02,260 --> 00:20:05,950
Power Rangers from.
Saban, They put it on Netflix,

382
00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:07,630
they made the 30th anniversary
special.

383
00:20:07,910 --> 00:20:09,950
And I was like, Nah, we're not
going to do anything else.

384
00:20:10,950 --> 00:20:12,110
Yeah, maybe they're.
Well, maybe.

385
00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:16,590
I mean, you don't know, right.
So as of right now, it's very

386
00:20:16,990 --> 00:20:21,030
hesitant that there will be new
products of the show many times.

387
00:20:21,950 --> 00:20:24,870
I mean if I'm in the company.
You're not wrong for being

388
00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:27,670
skeptical, but we just we still
don't know.

389
00:20:28,790 --> 00:20:33,810
So let's see, moving on from the
Oh yes, it's Godzilla

390
00:20:33,930 --> 00:20:37,530
department.
None other than Pluto TV has

391
00:20:37,610 --> 00:20:41,410
announced a brand new streaming
channel solely dedicated to

392
00:20:41,410 --> 00:20:45,770
showing 24/7 of Godzilla
material rangings from movies to

393
00:20:45,770 --> 00:20:49,730
TV shows, to quote Godzilla
exclusives, executives say.

394
00:20:51,410 --> 00:20:53,690
The King of the Monsters.
I waited for my whole life.

395
00:20:54,010 --> 00:20:56,410
Has it been?
Was that sarcasm?

396
00:20:57,330 --> 00:20:59,330
No.
It's not.

397
00:20:59,330 --> 00:21:03,780
It wasn't sarcasm executive.
Says the King of the Monsters

398
00:21:03,780 --> 00:21:07,620
has made landfall on Pluto TV.
Emerging in 1954, Godzilla has

399
00:21:07,620 --> 00:21:10,700
become a Global Icon and a
symbol that is transcended time

400
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:13,140
and pop culture.
After the viewing as a terror

401
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:15,660
that the Senate upon Tokyo.
Godzilla has fought numerous

402
00:21:15,660 --> 00:21:18,500
foes and gain new allies over
several distinct errors.

403
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:21,660
While each film stands alone in
its own moment in time, the

404
00:21:21,660 --> 00:21:23,860
evolution of Godzilla followed
by advancements and film

405
00:21:23,860 --> 00:21:27,630
technology all over cultural
trends, yet always stay rooted

406
00:21:27,630 --> 00:21:31,310
in the origins from 1954.
Today fans can celebrate one of

407
00:21:31,310 --> 00:21:33,750
the world's most renowned
entertaining characters with

408
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:36,950
Godzilla Channel collection and
experience their favorite movie

409
00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:39,390
moments from the never ending
class between Kaiju and

410
00:21:39,390 --> 00:21:42,590
humankind.
Generally, you're a Godzilla

411
00:21:42,590 --> 00:21:45,750
fan.
I I mean, I my whole thought on

412
00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:47,510
this is we're going to see it
here, here.

413
00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:50,430
A lot of people having similar
stories to mine watching

414
00:21:50,430 --> 00:21:52,110
Godzilla on the Spanish channel,
So you.

415
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,200
Here in Japanese.
You mentioned that, yeah.

416
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,240
And then it was subtitled in
Spanish.

417
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,960
And I don't know Japanese and I
no longer fluent Spanish.

418
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:03,080
So I'm hearing the Japanese,
I'm, I'm reading the Spanish.

419
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,360
Nothing's in English.
And I'm high as a kite and early

420
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:09,280
in my 20s, and this is my
Godzilla experience.

421
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,400
So I think, you know, 24/7 we're
going to have a lot of people

422
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,670
with edibles being legal now.
Hi is a kite with a lot of

423
00:22:16,670 --> 00:22:19,870
Godzilla experiences.
There was a term a bilingual

424
00:22:19,870 --> 00:22:21,310
illiterate.
You can't read or write in two

425
00:22:21,310 --> 00:22:23,070
different languages.
And that's what's going on right

426
00:22:23,070 --> 00:22:26,070
there, Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, kinda.

427
00:22:26,830 --> 00:22:28,950
Yeah, kinda.
So I know, Hasan, you actually

428
00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:32,350
met the guy in the suit, right?
The original guy in the suit.

429
00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:37,190
So as we were just talking about
what content producers are going

430
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:40,150
to make, they're making a full
on Godzilla channel of stuff

431
00:22:40,150 --> 00:22:43,220
that's already existing.
Yeah, that's I think there's

432
00:22:43,220 --> 00:22:45,060
going to be a lot of that.
I think we're going to get a lot

433
00:22:45,060 --> 00:22:48,500
of outer channels and and that
kind of thing and that's going

434
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:51,220
to probably be very popular.
It's definitely going to be

435
00:22:52,180 --> 00:22:56,540
good, good content providers for
you know whatever.

436
00:22:57,220 --> 00:23:03,220
We've been through this before
like when when COVID started we

437
00:23:03,420 --> 00:23:07,060
we basically just ran out of
material like towards the end of

438
00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:09,600
2020.
So it's just everything's just

439
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,200
pretty much going to be like
that now.

440
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,320
A lot of people panic in 2020
and made a lot of weird business

441
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,280
ideas and business decisions
that hopefully everybody will

442
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,040
just keep their cool and and
wait and see what happens this

443
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,520
time so that we don't have the
day and date releases and

444
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,400
whatever the the debacle the
Warner Brothers did, that's

445
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,120
costing them a heck of a lot.
And you know, arguably is one of

446
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:32,960
the things that has crippled the
the box office right now.

447
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,880
So, you know, hopefully
everybody just calms down and

448
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,470
waits it out.
And everybody argues in good

449
00:23:39,470 --> 00:23:42,230
faith, which we know it won't
happen.

450
00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:44,230
It's not going to happen, not.
Waiting for anyone you know?

451
00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:46,950
What?
And then we'll get through it.

452
00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:52,590
So it's an odd thing if you
think about that, because of the

453
00:23:52,590 --> 00:23:55,550
pandemic, we had the whole
changes and the streaming and

454
00:23:55,550 --> 00:23:58,790
everything exploded.
And because of that, now there's

455
00:23:58,790 --> 00:24:01,030
the strike.
Had the pandemic and not

456
00:24:01,030 --> 00:24:03,590
happened, the reactions wouldn't
happen and therefore the stream

457
00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:05,030
wouldn't happen.
Therefore, the strike wouldn't

458
00:24:05,030 --> 00:24:08,230
have been such a thing.
Or is it possible that AI just

459
00:24:08,230 --> 00:24:10,470
would have happened and we would
still be on a strike now?

460
00:24:11,630 --> 00:24:14,670
AI would have happened a lot of
a lot of other things would have

461
00:24:14,670 --> 00:24:16,350
never happened if there was no
pandemic.

462
00:24:16,750 --> 00:24:18,630
A lot of things.
Yeah.

463
00:24:18,750 --> 00:24:20,390
Yeah.
I mean, I think streaming still

464
00:24:20,390 --> 00:24:22,790
would have taken over, but
probably not at the rate that it

465
00:24:22,790 --> 00:24:25,230
did.
Yeah, absolutely.

466
00:24:25,230 --> 00:24:31,150
And I mean people were literally
tricked into throwing cable away

467
00:24:31,630 --> 00:24:34,270
and and just getting into
streaming or whatever.

468
00:24:34,310 --> 00:24:37,180
That business boomed.
You know, and then and so did

469
00:24:37,180 --> 00:24:38,900
the Internet.
Internet provider business

470
00:24:39,340 --> 00:24:42,540
boomed because, you know, people
just got rid of, you know, they

471
00:24:42,540 --> 00:24:45,420
were, they were tricked into
like streaming was the way that

472
00:24:45,420 --> 00:24:46,780
everything was going to go in
the future.

473
00:24:46,780 --> 00:24:48,540
And obviously that is not the
case.

474
00:24:48,780 --> 00:24:50,060
It's going to be some kind of
hybrid.

475
00:24:50,940 --> 00:24:53,660
So no one figured, hey, how
we're going to make money off of

476
00:24:53,660 --> 00:24:55,380
this.
It's look, we're making money

477
00:24:55,380 --> 00:24:57,780
right now.
The short, once again the short

478
00:24:57,780 --> 00:25:00,700
term solution.
So the producers and the

479
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:04,810
corporations are all focusing on
the short term solutions where

480
00:25:04,810 --> 00:25:08,610
the actual workers are working
and thinking about the longterm

481
00:25:08,610 --> 00:25:12,090
solutions.
Always we have like.

482
00:25:12,330 --> 00:25:15,210
Well, the workers are the ones
who who need the money, so they

483
00:25:15,210 --> 00:25:17,730
always have to think about the
the immediate future.

484
00:25:18,290 --> 00:25:21,010
Well, we're going to see more
people with the Louis CKI mean,

485
00:25:21,010 --> 00:25:24,970
he has obviously a lot of means,
but he has own website, so he

486
00:25:24,970 --> 00:25:28,330
streams his own show and stand
up and Bobby Kelly does too.

487
00:25:28,330 --> 00:25:31,250
So other people are making their
own platforms and I think we're

488
00:25:31,250 --> 00:25:33,690
going to see more and more of
that because more creators are.

489
00:25:34,090 --> 00:25:35,610
Creating their own production
studios.

490
00:25:35,610 --> 00:25:37,770
I mean, I have one on a lower
level.

491
00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:41,170
That's what we're going to see.
I think a lot more of that.

492
00:25:41,570 --> 00:25:45,730
Yeah baby, So we're almost out
of time for a new segment.

493
00:25:45,730 --> 00:25:48,050
So I want, I want to throw out
this final thought that you were

494
00:25:48,050 --> 00:25:50,650
just mentioning about Louis CK
during the pandemic.

495
00:25:50,770 --> 00:25:55,050
One of my favorite comedians,
Titus, he used to have a show on

496
00:25:55,050 --> 00:25:57,250
Fox called Titus and there was a
hilarious show and the show got

497
00:25:57,250 --> 00:25:59,170
cancelled.
And then during the pandemic, he

498
00:25:59,170 --> 00:26:02,530
just started showing episodes on
his channel.

499
00:26:03,490 --> 00:26:06,730
And then he decided that because
there was such a huge following,

500
00:26:07,370 --> 00:26:08,970
he decided to make a new
episode.

501
00:26:08,970 --> 00:26:12,490
Because he created the show, he
didn't have the rights to hear

502
00:26:12,490 --> 00:26:16,010
the show, but he wrote an
episode as like a sequel to that

503
00:26:16,010 --> 00:26:18,450
series.
And then he did a live stream of

504
00:26:18,450 --> 00:26:22,170
the episode and he I bought it
because I wanted to see what

505
00:26:22,170 --> 00:26:23,530
happened.
Through his website, it threw

506
00:26:23,530 --> 00:26:25,170
his website right on.
Yeah, we're going to see a lot

507
00:26:25,170 --> 00:26:27,250
more of that.
So that's my thought of that.

508
00:26:27,250 --> 00:26:28,970
So Hassan, you have a final
thought.

509
00:26:30,810 --> 00:26:32,870
Yeah.
I'm not going to share.

510
00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:33,950
It with you.
OK, OK.

511
00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:37,590
Jen, you had a final thought.
That was it.

512
00:26:37,710 --> 00:26:39,750
More, more private production
companies.

513
00:26:39,750 --> 00:26:42,230
Everyone, their mothers are
going to become a producer.

514
00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:45,950
All right, So for those of you
listening on WGBB, we'll see you

515
00:26:45,950 --> 00:26:47,430
next week.
For everybody else, we'll be

516
00:26:47,430 --> 00:26:49,470
right back with more.
It came from the radio.

517
00:26:52,590 --> 00:26:55,230
Hi guys.
This is Xenia Seberg, who plays

518
00:26:55,230 --> 00:26:59,590
Zeff on the show Lex and you're
listening to It Came from the

519
00:26:59,590 --> 00:27:03,720
Radio.
Now back to our show.

520
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,680
This is Charlie Saladino at the
Long Island Comic Fest.

521
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,360
I'm here with JC Vaughn.
JC Vaughn, could you tell us

522
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:18,160
fans, And I'm saying US fans
because I am a fan.

523
00:27:18,530 --> 00:27:21,450
What you are all about.
Sure.

524
00:27:21,450 --> 00:27:23,570
My I work in the industry full
time.

525
00:27:23,570 --> 00:27:26,570
My day job is I'm the president
of Gemstone Publishing, which is

526
00:27:26,570 --> 00:27:28,570
the home of the Overstreet Comic
Book Price Guide.

527
00:27:28,890 --> 00:27:31,930
I've been there for 28 years.
I work on picking out the cover

528
00:27:31,930 --> 00:27:34,850
artists and working on the
editorial content of the book.

529
00:27:34,850 --> 00:27:38,250
Bob Overstreet still does all
the pricing with our advisors,

530
00:27:39,130 --> 00:27:42,250
and that's that's my day job.
I would be a lot more known as a

531
00:27:42,250 --> 00:27:45,330
creator if I hated my day job.
But I happen to love my day job

532
00:27:45,930 --> 00:27:49,060
so.
As a creator, I created or

533
00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:52,740
cocreated Zombie Proof and
Vampire PA, and Vampire PA has

534
00:27:52,740 --> 00:27:56,420
now spun on to Al Capone
Vampire, which is the present

535
00:27:56,420 --> 00:27:58,540
series we're working on.
And the second issue is

536
00:27:58,540 --> 00:28:02,580
crowdfunding right now, and it
is basically what you would

537
00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:03,980
think it is.
Al Capone.

538
00:28:04,060 --> 00:28:05,860
He's back.
He's a vampire, and he's decided

539
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:10,140
to take over Chicago again.
I'm I'm looking at these covers

540
00:28:10,140 --> 00:28:12,820
and and they're hysterical.
You're going to see some

541
00:28:12,820 --> 00:28:17,140
pictures on on our Facebook
page, but how does how does one

542
00:28:17,140 --> 00:28:19,580
come up with this?
The the great, the great.

543
00:28:19,580 --> 00:28:21,900
It's a great question and always
fair to ask a creator that

544
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:23,820
question if where do where do
your ideas come from?

545
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:27,380
I don't know how not to do it.
If you look at this one title

546
00:28:27,380 --> 00:28:29,500
over here, Bedtime Stories for
Impressionable Children, I

547
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,340
literally came up with that in
high school and just it's stuck

548
00:28:32,340 --> 00:28:33,980
in my brain until I could
actually do it.

549
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,160
And and it really comes down to,
you know, I don't know if I was

550
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,720
dropped in my head as a child
or, you know, perhaps

551
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,280
radioactive nonspider or
something.

552
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,120
I I have no idea.
I just.

553
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,560
I get ideas and I sit down and I
write.

554
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:49,880
How?
How are they?

555
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:51,600
How are they doing on the
market?

556
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,360
They, you know, most of my stuff
is crowdfunded and it's always

557
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,760
and you wouldn't see it if it if
it wasn't successful.

558
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,000
And some of them are small and
some of them are do do better.

559
00:29:01,970 --> 00:29:04,730
I've also done a lot of licensed
comics that have done, you know,

560
00:29:04,770 --> 00:29:10,050
normal higher level of sales
where you see like 24 based on

561
00:29:10,050 --> 00:29:13,330
the Fox TV show, Stargate
Atlantis, Stargate Universe,

562
00:29:13,970 --> 00:29:15,770
Battlestar Galactica, that kind
of stuff.

563
00:29:17,450 --> 00:29:21,610
Well, JC Vaughn, I want to thank
you for taking time out to talk

564
00:29:21,610 --> 00:29:25,570
to us.
And before we go, tell everybody

565
00:29:25,570 --> 00:29:28,210
where we could see your product.
OK, great.

566
00:29:28,250 --> 00:29:31,570
Nor my my normal stuff is listed
under American mythology in the

567
00:29:31,570 --> 00:29:34,420
previous catalog.
From Diamond Comic Distributors,

568
00:29:34,660 --> 00:29:37,900
you can also find it.
I'm usually crowdfund two or

569
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:39,980
three books a year.
Right now we're doing Al Capone

570
00:29:39,980 --> 00:29:42,780
Vampire, which is both on
Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

571
00:29:44,140 --> 00:29:48,020
I'm cracking up again, but JC
Vaughn, thank you so much for

572
00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:51,660
taking time to talk to us and we
hope to see you all over the

573
00:29:51,660 --> 00:29:53,060
place.
Thanks a lot.

574
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:56,740
See you soon.

00:30:31,220 --> 00:30:35,020
Now back to our show.
Hey, it came from the radio

589
00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:37,740
fans.
It's Chris Woolsey, the king of

590
00:30:37,740 --> 00:30:43,780
streaming with another Chris's
Pick segment for What is cooking

591
00:30:43,780 --> 00:30:46,180
on Chicken Soup for the Soul
this month?

592
00:30:46,180 --> 00:30:50,540
Well, this month we've got a
really fun grab bag of different

593
00:30:50,540 --> 00:30:54,220
kinds of genres for you.
If you're looking for just

594
00:30:54,220 --> 00:30:57,980
something sweet to just kind of
liven up your evening, I

595
00:30:57,980 --> 00:31:00,980
recommend checking out the
Chicken Soup for the Soul

596
00:31:00,980 --> 00:31:04,380
Original, a slice of Chicago
romance.

597
00:31:04,380 --> 00:31:06,380
So this is a chicken soup for
the Soul Original.

598
00:31:06,380 --> 00:31:10,540
You can only watch it on Chicken
Soup for the Soul streaming

599
00:31:10,540 --> 00:31:15,140
service, and it's about two
Chicago pizza places.

600
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:21,080
Who are competing for business
and what happens when a

601
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,920
competitor 1/3 competitor moves
into the market?

602
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,320
Really cute, really fun.
Just something light to brighten

603
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,760
up your night with a slice of
Chicago romance.

604
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,360
I recommend it.
Now, Speaking of bright things

605
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,440
that are going to enliven your
evening, I cannot recommend

606
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,560
enough the documentary St.
Gang How We Got to Sesame

607
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,720
Street.
Now, if you're like me, Sesame

608
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,080
Street was basically the
soundtrack of your youth.

609
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,800
I think I watched it every day
growing up.

610
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,560
I love that I'm still a fan.
Every time I watch it, it just

611
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,880
makes me smile.
And this documentary is a deep

612
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:09,440
dive into the behind the scenes,
nuts and bolts of what it took

613
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,360
to put on.
You know what has really become

614
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,160
an American classic?
ATV classic?

615
00:32:15,610 --> 00:32:19,090
And one of the greatest kids
series ever created.

616
00:32:19,410 --> 00:32:23,530
So you get to see interviews
with cast members, with the

617
00:32:23,530 --> 00:32:27,290
puppeteers, the writers, the
directors, the producers, the

618
00:32:27,290 --> 00:32:31,690
stars, everyone.
It is a phenomenal documentary.

619
00:32:31,690 --> 00:32:34,090
St.
Gang, how we got to Sesame

620
00:32:34,090 --> 00:32:37,570
Street.
I cannot recommend enough.

621
00:32:38,730 --> 00:32:43,970
Switching gears and Speaking of
gear, this one stars Richard

622
00:32:43,970 --> 00:32:47,090
Gere.
We have The Dinner, which is a

623
00:32:47,170 --> 00:32:53,410
dark drama starring Richard Gere
obviously from Working Girl and

624
00:32:53,410 --> 00:32:57,210
Laura Linney from Ozarks, as
well as Steve Coogan from 24

625
00:32:57,210 --> 00:32:59,890
Hour Party People.
And this is about two sets of

626
00:32:59,890 --> 00:33:06,010
parents that are coming together
at over dinner to discuss what?

627
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:12,320
Is going to be done about a
rather grotesque act perpetrated

628
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,480
by their two sons.
Really dark.

629
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,760
Some of the best performances of
these actors careers and I am

630
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:28,120
huge fans of everyone in this
film, but it is a it is a dark,

631
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,880
dark journey that you go on in
this film.

632
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,480
If you're looking for something
like that, I highly recommend

633
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,890
The Dinner.
Phenomenal performances.

634
00:33:37,970 --> 00:33:42,930
We also have a really great
another really great documentary

635
00:33:43,130 --> 00:33:46,850
and this is called The Woman Who
Wasn't There and this tells the

636
00:33:46,850 --> 00:33:51,410
story about a woman who was at
Ground Zero, told the harrowing

637
00:33:51,410 --> 00:33:56,290
story of her escaping one of the
towers just minutes before it

638
00:33:56,290 --> 00:33:59,170
fell.
She tells of being on fire at

639
00:33:59,170 --> 00:34:02,970
one point and just barely
getting out with her life.

640
00:34:03,470 --> 00:34:07,750
And then she was at Ground Zero
helping out the whole time,

641
00:34:07,950 --> 00:34:12,030
eventually became the head of
the 9/11 survivors group.

642
00:34:13,110 --> 00:34:17,670
And then a number of years
later, there was a journalist, I

643
00:34:17,670 --> 00:34:20,310
believe it was New York Times
journalist, who was doing some

644
00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:24,230
research in preparation to
interview this woman.

645
00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:28,830
And she found quite a few holes
in her story.

646
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:34,280
And come to find out, this woman
wasn't exactly who she was

647
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:39,360
portraying herself to be.
If you like documentaries, and

648
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,960
if you're interested in
historical events and intrigue,

649
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,639
the Woman Who Wasn't There is a
really great watch.

650
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:51,320
I highly recommend checking that
one out.

651
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,480
And then we also have The
English Teacher with Julianne

652
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,800
Moore.
This is kind of a dramedy, but

653
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,400
it's a star-studded cast.
Julian Moore obviously from

654
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,600
Boogie Nights.
Greg Kinnear, As good as It

655
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,360
Gets.
Nathan Lane from The Birdcage.

656
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:12,000
I'm gigantic fans of all of
them, but Julian Moore plays an

657
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,440
English teacher who has her life
turned upside down when a former

658
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,480
student returns to town.
I'm not gonna say anything more

659
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,240
than that.
It is a really fun watch, but

660
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:27,790
check out the English teacher.
As I said, star-studded cast.

661
00:35:28,510 --> 00:35:32,470
But you remember, you can always
watch Chicken Soup for the Soul

662
00:35:32,470 --> 00:35:35,510
by downloading the app at your
favorite App Store on your

663
00:35:35,510 --> 00:35:39,830
Samsung, your Visio, We just
launched the Roku channel, your

664
00:35:39,830 --> 00:35:45,550
Fire TV or you can go to
chickensouptv.com and you can

665
00:35:45,590 --> 00:35:50,630
either cast to any device or you
can watch on your laptop or

666
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:52,670
desktop.
Again, this is Chris with

667
00:35:52,670 --> 00:35:55,510
another Chris's picks for what
is cooking on Chicken Soup for

668
00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:58,830
the Soul.
And have a fabulous night.

669
00:35:58,870 --> 00:36:03,150
It came from the radio fans.
Hello friends, this is Ranger

670
00:36:03,150 --> 00:36:05,790
Rob and I'd like to talk to you
about dog poop.

671
00:36:05,950 --> 00:36:10,190
That's right, dog poop.
I invented Ranger Rob pet poopy

672
00:36:10,190 --> 00:36:13,350
bags, a very large bag with
handles.

673
00:36:13,710 --> 00:36:18,070
My bags support large and small
dogs and smell like lemon.

674
00:36:18,390 --> 00:36:22,390
They are strong and affordable.
You can find Ranger Rob pet

675
00:36:22,390 --> 00:36:25,230
poopy bags at Amazon.
They come in sheets.

676
00:36:25,690 --> 00:36:28,010
Or in rolls and come with a
dispenser.

677
00:36:28,290 --> 00:36:31,970
Once you try Ranger Rod pet
poopy bags, you'll never want to

678
00:36:31,970 --> 00:36:36,130
go back, so come join us.
Go to Amazon and try Ranger Rod

679
00:36:36,130 --> 00:36:41,010
Pet Poopy Bags today.
Now back to our show.

680
00:36:43,730 --> 00:36:47,650
This is Jolly Saladino from It
came from the Radio I'm live the

681
00:36:47,650 --> 00:36:51,490
Long Island Comic Fest, A
convention.

682
00:36:51,980 --> 00:36:56,380
For the fans, by the fans.
And I'm here with one of my

683
00:36:56,380 --> 00:37:01,900
favorite artists of all time.
I see him on the circus circuit

684
00:37:01,900 --> 00:37:06,300
constantly and I see his artwork
and I'm always blown away.

685
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:09,340
The one, the only Billy Tucci.
Billy, how are you?

686
00:37:09,340 --> 00:37:10,660
I'm.
Doing great my friend.

687
00:37:10,660 --> 00:37:12,700
How are you?
I'm a little slight.

688
00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:15,350
Man, and I'm.
Here at the Comic Con.

689
00:37:16,110 --> 00:37:17,150
Yeah.
Probably little.

690
00:37:17,150 --> 00:37:20,430
Hands by the fans.
A lot of fans listen, I'm

691
00:37:20,430 --> 00:37:22,790
looking at your artwork.
You just get better and better.

692
00:37:22,910 --> 00:37:26,630
What's going, what's going on
with you and and your your

693
00:37:26,630 --> 00:37:30,350
career here?
You know, just I guess we're

694
00:37:30,350 --> 00:37:32,670
experiencing a creator on
Renaissance.

695
00:37:32,670 --> 00:37:36,630
We she's back.
What made me in my first place?

696
00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:39,030
I brought it back for the first
time in 15 years.

697
00:37:39,590 --> 00:37:42,630
Close to 20 years, actually.
And next year's?

698
00:37:42,630 --> 00:37:46,070
Our 30th anniversary, but we've
we've put out four new graphic

699
00:37:46,070 --> 00:37:49,670
novels since then.
A bunch of special editions.

700
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,120
And it via through Kickstarter
and Indiegogo crowdfunding

701
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,120
platforms first.
And then we'll be back in comic

702
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,240
shops at the end of this year,
again with new She stories and

703
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,680
what we did with the characters
that we actually progressed her

704
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,320
for.
We progressed her 20 years, like

705
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,360
in real time.
So now my character Anna is now

706
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,720
45 years old.
She's a single mother raising

707
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:13,520
her teenage daughter.
Her warrior days are far behind

708
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:14,800
her.
And then it all comes back.

709
00:38:15,740 --> 00:38:17,380
How did you come up with this
whole concept?

710
00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:22,020
Well, I, you know what I came up
with she in 1990 originally and

711
00:38:22,020 --> 00:38:25,140
it was because I just fell in
love with Japanese woodblock

712
00:38:25,140 --> 00:38:27,460
prints, believe it or not.
And I always loved Japanese, you

713
00:38:27,460 --> 00:38:29,540
know, samurai films and things
like that.

714
00:38:29,780 --> 00:38:32,900
But when I got into the Japanese
woodblock prints, it was a lot

715
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:35,980
of them are about, you know,
Japanese mythology, Japanese

716
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:39,140
historical things.
And and I just started jumping

717
00:38:39,140 --> 00:38:41,660
into Japanese history.
It just really spoke to me.

718
00:38:42,110 --> 00:38:45,510
And through that this, this
story just developed, and the

719
00:38:45,510 --> 00:38:48,990
character actually originally
started as a male character, and

720
00:38:49,110 --> 00:38:53,870
it's based on this shadow war
that's existed between the

721
00:38:53,870 --> 00:38:57,150
descendants of the warrior monks
of medieval Japan and samurai.

722
00:38:57,590 --> 00:39:00,910
And it's it's now carried over
to today, to modern times.

723
00:39:01,260 --> 00:39:05,460
Where instead of them doing
battle in the shadow of Mount

724
00:39:05,460 --> 00:39:09,420
Fuji, you know, on the plains,
you know of, of Japan, they now

725
00:39:09,420 --> 00:39:13,540
take place in boardrooms and in
the arts and in the shadows and

726
00:39:13,540 --> 00:39:18,700
in in finance and all this stuff
and and it's literally, she's a

727
00:39:18,820 --> 00:39:22,060
a soldier drafted into this war
that she's totally not prepared

728
00:39:22,060 --> 00:39:24,700
for.
This sounds totally amazing.

729
00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:26,260
And when?
When are we looking for this?

730
00:39:26,460 --> 00:39:28,580
They're out now.
I we, we again.

731
00:39:28,580 --> 00:39:31,140
We've just released a 500 page
on the.

732
00:39:31,260 --> 00:39:34,820
Bus Edition, which collects the
1st 16 issues of She and We have

733
00:39:34,820 --> 00:39:37,940
the new series that people could
find in billytucci.com.

734
00:39:38,620 --> 00:39:42,860
There's three new issues out for
that, which is she returned the

735
00:39:42,860 --> 00:39:45,700
Warrior.
Then there's Shehaiko, and then

736
00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:48,340
there's She Sakura.
And those are the that's the

737
00:39:48,340 --> 00:39:53,180
first story art, which is about
300 pages or so.

738
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:55,420
So it's pretty pretty cool.
Pretty cool.

739
00:39:55,900 --> 00:40:00,260
I'm I'm actually looking at it
now it it looks, it looks very

740
00:40:00,260 --> 00:40:03,180
cool.
The artwork is unbelievable as

741
00:40:03,180 --> 00:40:03,980
always.
Thank you.

742
00:40:03,980 --> 00:40:08,740
Yeah, we've got a great our
team, great, just great writing

743
00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:10,380
team.
My friend Steven Perros, my

744
00:40:10,380 --> 00:40:14,220
friend and fellow Long Islander
who I met the first day of

745
00:40:14,220 --> 00:40:17,540
school of junior high, and he's
a screenwriter and he's he's

746
00:40:17,820 --> 00:40:20,900
taken over the scripting duties,
the writing duties on it, so I

747
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:23,740
can focus on the art.
And we just get it.

748
00:40:23,740 --> 00:40:27,820
He's always loved the character.
He gets the character and we'll

749
00:40:27,820 --> 00:40:30,740
plot the story together and then
he just goes with it and writes

750
00:40:30,740 --> 00:40:32,100
it and sends me scripts and I
draw him.

751
00:40:33,450 --> 00:40:36,490
It's a it's an amazing it's an
amazing book.

752
00:40:36,890 --> 00:40:38,530
Like I said, I'm looking at it
now.

753
00:40:38,810 --> 00:40:43,210
I always, I have to tell
everybody I always I'm at these

754
00:40:43,210 --> 00:40:47,690
conventions and when I walk past
Billy's area, you got to stop

755
00:40:47,690 --> 00:40:51,810
dead and you got to like just
stop dead and look at his

756
00:40:51,810 --> 00:40:53,370
artwork.
It's unbelievable.

757
00:40:53,370 --> 00:40:59,090
I actually own a couple a couple
of prints of of his artwork and

758
00:40:59,210 --> 00:41:02,610
you just, it's your artwork.
I cannot say this enough.

759
00:41:02,970 --> 00:41:06,650
Is amazing.
Now where can people see most of

760
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:09,170

785
00:42:25,590 --> 00:42:30,390
Now back to our show.
Hey, this is David and Lee, and

786
00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:33,670
we're here to talk about movies,
music, TV and what's going on in

787
00:42:33,670 --> 00:42:35,870
our part of the world.
Today we're going to talk about

788
00:42:36,110 --> 00:42:39,150
my dad and brother's trip to
Chicago.

789
00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:41,750
Soon to be part of the Boys of
Summer Trip, right?

790
00:42:41,910 --> 00:42:43,590
Yep.
Are you excited?

791
00:42:44,470 --> 00:42:46,430
All right.
What are you excited about?

792
00:42:46,900 --> 00:42:48,900
Thick crust pizza.
Deep dish.

793
00:42:48,980 --> 00:42:52,260
I mean thick crust pizza.
Well, it kind of is a thick

794
00:42:52,260 --> 00:42:53,220
crust.
Almost.

795
00:42:53,700 --> 00:42:57,700
All right, so deep dish pizza.
We are going away this summer

796
00:42:57,780 --> 00:42:59,700
for a few days.
Chicago.

797
00:43:00,060 --> 00:43:03,020
We're going to do what we can.
Chicago side, what do you What

798
00:43:03,020 --> 00:43:04,660
else did we talk about?
What else are we going?

799
00:43:06,580 --> 00:43:09,190
Go and see a Cubs game.
Who they playing, do you know?

800
00:43:10,310 --> 00:43:12,190
Red Sox.
Yeah, the Boston Red Sox for

801
00:43:12,190 --> 00:43:15,830
Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
We are going to do this.

802
00:43:15,870 --> 00:43:17,590
It's going to be amazing.
You know why?

803
00:43:17,590 --> 00:43:20,590
Because Wrigley Field is a whole
area.

804
00:43:20,590 --> 00:43:24,470
There's a village as people
going everywhere is a Boston Red

805
00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:26,390
Sox.
The Boston Red Sox, I would

806
00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:30,470
assume is a big, big deal for
this team to want to be a part

807
00:43:30,470 --> 00:43:34,910
of and watching this town.
And what else do you think we

808
00:43:34,910 --> 00:43:36,910
should be doing?
Think you guys should go on a

809
00:43:36,910 --> 00:43:39,750
major food tour?
What do you think?

810
00:43:40,470 --> 00:43:41,750
Sure, sure.
Sure.

811
00:43:41,910 --> 00:43:43,270
Sure.
What are you looking forward to?

812
00:43:43,270 --> 00:43:44,950
We should we try to get
cheeseburgers from the

813
00:43:44,950 --> 00:43:46,870
Cheeseburger Cheeseburger SNL
skit thing?

814
00:43:47,070 --> 00:43:51,030
Baby, I was more thinking, Isn't
Chicago the home of the Blues?

815
00:43:51,470 --> 00:43:53,590
It is home of the Blues.
Yeah, I think so.

816
00:43:54,030 --> 00:43:55,270
All right, so we should go
there.

817
00:43:55,630 --> 00:43:58,430
We should go to the Blues to see
something bluesy.

818
00:43:58,510 --> 00:44:00,870
Yeah, OK.
There's also a country concert

819
00:44:00,870 --> 00:44:03,470
going on at the time.
We're going to be there and it's

820
00:44:03,470 --> 00:44:05,270
like.
Festival.

821
00:44:05,310 --> 00:44:06,870
Are you guys gonna go?
I don't know.

822
00:44:06,870 --> 00:44:08,710
The tickets are so expensive.
How much are they?

823
00:44:08,870 --> 00:44:11,190
I think it's like $200.00, but
it's like days.

824
00:44:11,270 --> 00:44:13,510
I think days that there's like
20 bands.

825
00:44:13,910 --> 00:44:14,830
Oh, wow.
Whole country.

826
00:44:14,830 --> 00:44:17,790
Which you would probably.
Look, yeah, Riley would probably

827
00:44:18,110 --> 00:44:20,270
probably like that.
He's a real country guy

828
00:44:20,390 --> 00:44:22,830
recently.
So here's what else we can do in

829
00:44:22,830 --> 00:44:25,430
Chicago.
What do you think about going on

830
00:44:25,430 --> 00:44:28,030
a boat and looking at the
architecture of Chicago?

831
00:44:28,390 --> 00:44:30,510
That sounds nice.
Yeah, it does, right?

832
00:44:30,910 --> 00:44:32,670
Yeah, I can't believe you guys
are doing that without me.

833
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:34,760
Well, why?
Would we do?

834
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,080
It with you I did tell you I
like.

835
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,320
Architecture.
Well, we could do that another

836
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,920
time.
We could always go back, you

837
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,040
know, maybe we'll scout it out
and then come back and be like,

838
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,760
hey, you know, so this is your
first time in Chicago.

839
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:46,320
Yep.
What do you what do you want to

840
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,640
do?
The Blues part.

841
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,840
Right, What else?
Cubs Thick.

842
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,640
I mean, what's that?
We just talked about the Cubs.

843
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,040
How about going up to the Ferris
wheel?

844
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,840
It's 200 feet in the air.
That's.

845
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,040
Cool.
Is that cool?

846
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,800
Yeah.
I feel like you just wanna go

847
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,760
bowling.
That's what I wasn't gonna say.

848
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:10,720
Why is mine?
Do you wanna go bowling in

849
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:11,640
Chicago?
Yes.

850
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:12,800
Do you think you'll beat your
high score?

851
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,520
No.
What is your high score?

852
00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:19,560
198. 198, yeah, that's.
Two points shy at 200.

853
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:24,960
Buddy, you look good.
I choked when I had 191.

854
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,280
That's Okay.
Right, but you were fine, right?

855
00:45:30,610 --> 00:45:34,050
I'm happy with the 198, but
seven points Terrible.

856
00:45:34,210 --> 00:45:37,290
So we that another 9.
So we have to find a bowling

857
00:45:37,290 --> 00:45:40,290
alley in Chicago.
Yep, I heard there was this

858
00:45:40,290 --> 00:45:44,730
place that you could get the
best Cinnabon of all time.

859
00:45:45,090 --> 00:45:46,690
In Chicago.
In Chicago.

860
00:45:46,730 --> 00:45:48,770
What's called Chinnabon Amazing
I.

861
00:45:49,010 --> 00:45:51,570
Don't just know.
It's like, I don't know, it's a

862
00:45:51,570 --> 00:45:53,730
cinnamon roll, but the people
just go there for the breakfast.

863
00:45:53,730 --> 00:45:55,290
I gotta.
I don't remember the name of the

864
00:45:55,290 --> 00:45:56,290
place.
I have to find out.

865
00:45:56,610 --> 00:45:58,120
Gotta go.
Wasn't you?

866
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,120
So there was this place that had
like, what was it?

867
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,720
What was it?
I was like, I was like

868
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,920
milkshakes, but I had all this
cookie stuff.

869
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,480
And Oh yeah, I think it's called
JoJo Shakes and it's like a

870
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:15,920
giant ice cream milkshake with
anything you want.

871
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,640
It could be like brownies,
cookies.

872
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,120
Cake in it.
I don't think that's the full

873
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,120
cake one.
I don't think like you could

874
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:23,840
put.
I think there's a place that you

875
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,230
could actually put a cake in.
The milkshake and it blends the

876
00:46:27,230 --> 00:46:29,670
whole thing together, which is
unbelievable, right?

877
00:46:30,510 --> 00:46:33,030
So we're gonna be there in the
heat in the summer.

878
00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:37,550
Any ideas to go swimming?
You wanna go swimming?

879
00:46:37,550 --> 00:46:39,110
You wanna do like what would you
wanna do?

880
00:46:39,590 --> 00:46:41,710
I don't know cuz I never went to
Chicago so I don't really know

881
00:46:41,710 --> 00:46:43,430
what's in there.
Well, like I'd have so much

882
00:46:43,430 --> 00:46:45,150
pizza.
So much pizza.

883
00:46:45,630 --> 00:46:47,510
I heard it takes an hour to cook
that.

884
00:46:48,430 --> 00:46:49,830
What's that pizza called?
Deep dish?

885
00:46:49,950 --> 00:46:51,230
Deep dish.
Deep dish, Yeah.

886
00:46:51,230 --> 00:46:53,870
It takes an hour to make, and
some of these places make you

887
00:46:53,870 --> 00:46:56,690
wait an hour.
Before you can even get in.

888
00:46:56,970 --> 00:47:00,450
But what you could do is you can
order the pizza, wait that hour,

889
00:47:00,450 --> 00:47:02,650
and when you get in, hopefully
your pizza will be ready to go.

890
00:47:03,330 --> 00:47:05,330
Really.
Honestly, that's sort of smart.

891
00:47:05,730 --> 00:47:06,970
Yeah, and I think it's pretty
good.

892
00:47:06,970 --> 00:47:09,530
So do what you guys are going to
do probably.

893
00:47:09,530 --> 00:47:11,930
Will you get hot dogs?
I think they have special hot

894
00:47:11,970 --> 00:47:13,330
dogs.
They have this French dip.

895
00:47:13,410 --> 00:47:14,930
And you say there's Philly
cheese steaks?

896
00:47:14,930 --> 00:47:17,210
Well, it's well, it's
Philadelphia, this is Chicago.

897
00:47:17,210 --> 00:47:19,490
They have a French dip where
they kind of, it's kind of like

898
00:47:19,490 --> 00:47:22,270
they put.
The beef in a in A roll.

899
00:47:22,270 --> 00:47:25,150
And then they dip it in this
kind of like sauce and then it

900
00:47:25,190 --> 00:47:27,630
gets all soggy and gross on you.
But you know, you gotta need,

901
00:47:27,790 --> 00:47:30,030
you need a lot of napkins.
One guy said that he had to eat

902
00:47:30,910 --> 00:47:35,150
standing forward, like really
far ahead of his mouth.

903
00:47:35,630 --> 00:47:37,990
He had to put the sandwich so
far over his mouth so he didn't

904
00:47:37,990 --> 00:47:41,990
get like, yeah, stuff all over
him anyway.

905
00:47:42,150 --> 00:47:44,190
Well, you guys are going to have
fun this summer.

906
00:47:45,030 --> 00:47:47,030
Stay safe, stay healthy and stay
connected.

917
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,200
Now back to our show.
What is up, everyone?

918
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,480
It has been a week, which means
only one thing.

919
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,920
It is time for the comic insider
to rip into yet another book and

920
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,480
tell you everything that I found
inside there.

921
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,000
Today's book is Dark Ride Issue
7.

922
00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:37,080
This issue was written by
creator writer Joshua Lucas.

923
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,040
It was illustrated by creator
artist Andre Brussen.

924
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,320
It was colored by colorist
Adriana Lucas and lettered by

925
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,280
Pat Russo.
This issue was published by Sky

926
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,570
Bound Comics.
Our story begins with a

927
00:48:48,570 --> 00:48:51,770
flashback he recited by Sam as
he reflects on the frailties of

928
00:48:51,770 --> 00:48:53,650
memory.
He spins a story about sitting

929
00:48:53,650 --> 00:48:56,450
in a hospital room with his
mother and his younger sister.

930
00:48:56,450 --> 00:48:58,530
His name is Halloween.
Their mother recounts her

931
00:48:58,530 --> 00:49:00,810
affinity for 1980s horror
movies.

932
00:49:00,930 --> 00:49:04,010
She tells them she got a job at
the Devil Land Park so that she

933
00:49:04,010 --> 00:49:06,930
could eventually get into the
entertainment department.

934
00:49:06,930 --> 00:49:10,130
But then she met their father.
She recounts that she convinced

935
00:49:10,130 --> 00:49:13,570
him to allow them to marry on
park grounds the first time

936
00:49:13,570 --> 00:49:16,130
that's ever happened, when Sam
claims that their father hates

937
00:49:16,130 --> 00:49:17,450
him because he's always at the
park.

938
00:49:17,450 --> 00:49:18,450
And he's.
Never around.

939
00:49:18,450 --> 00:49:21,010
The mother corrects them.
She tells him that whereas his

940
00:49:21,010 --> 00:49:24,290
dad has its faults just like
everybody else, everything he

941
00:49:24,290 --> 00:49:26,530
does is for the family.
He does it all for love.

942
00:49:26,570 --> 00:49:29,930
Their mother tells them that she
had an undiagnosed congenital

943
00:49:29,930 --> 00:49:32,970
heart condition and that it was
only because of her relationship

944
00:49:32,970 --> 00:49:35,170
with their father that has kept
her alive.

945
00:49:35,170 --> 00:49:37,690
It was her father that got her
properly diagnosed and got her

946
00:49:37,690 --> 00:49:40,410
the medication that she needed.
Sadly, at this point their

947
00:49:40,410 --> 00:49:43,250
mother appears to have
particularly bad heart attack.

948
00:49:43,410 --> 00:49:45,850
It's unknown if this heart
attack is fatal, as the

949
00:49:45,850 --> 00:49:48,850
flashback ends with Sam and his.
Younger sister being ushered

950
00:49:48,850 --> 00:49:51,530
from the room by the medical
staff so that they can attend to

951
00:49:51,530 --> 00:49:53,010
her.
We flash forward.

952
00:49:53,170 --> 00:49:56,370
Sam and Halloween are adults.
Now, somewhere in the interim,

953
00:49:56,370 --> 00:49:58,730
their mother has passed away.
Tonight they're attending dinner

954
00:49:58,730 --> 00:50:02,210
at the Club 666, which seems to
be located on the park grounds.

955
00:50:02,490 --> 00:50:04,330
Sam brings Summer to dinner with
them.

956
00:50:04,370 --> 00:50:06,570
Summer is a journalist
investigating the apparent

957
00:50:06,570 --> 00:50:09,490
suicide of her younger brother
who killed himself on the park

958
00:50:09,490 --> 00:50:11,530
grounds.
Some are suspicious of a younger

959
00:50:11,530 --> 00:50:13,690
brother's death.
She doesn't believe he killed

960
00:50:13,690 --> 00:50:16,490
himself.
She feels Mr. Dante, Sam and

961
00:50:16,490 --> 00:50:19,770
Halloween's father and whatever
malicious spirits inhabit the

962
00:50:19,770 --> 00:50:22,490
park itself, had something to do
with the death of her family

963
00:50:22,490 --> 00:50:24,610
member.
Mr. Dante is a grizzled looking

964
00:50:24,610 --> 00:50:27,410
older man, but he's undoubtedly
the head of the family in the

965
00:50:27,410 --> 00:50:30,130
proprietor of the park and the
restaurant establishment as

966
00:50:30,170 --> 00:50:32,410
everyone jumps at his every
command.

967
00:50:32,450 --> 00:50:35,250
The guards, The restaurant
hosts, the ushers, the waiters

968
00:50:35,250 --> 00:50:38,530
waste no time in attending them
all, Dante orders for them and

969
00:50:38,530 --> 00:50:41,450
somewhat bypasses.
With his children to speak

970
00:50:41,450 --> 00:50:45,010
directly to Summer, despite his
professed efforts towards the

971
00:50:45,010 --> 00:50:48,530
contrary, Dante belittles his
children as failures in life.

972
00:50:48,850 --> 00:50:51,210
He claims he tried to give them
purpose and make them

973
00:50:51,210 --> 00:50:54,370
contributors to the park, to his
legacy, but they've done very

974
00:50:54,370 --> 00:50:58,010
little to make him proud.
Unfazed by this, Summer

975
00:50:58,010 --> 00:51:01,450
confronts Mr. Dante about her
brother, all but accusing him of

976
00:51:01,450 --> 00:51:04,320
being up to no good.
But Mr. Dante is equally

977
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,400
unfazed.
He turns the tables on summer

978
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,440
and brings up the death of her
parents at sea.

979
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:11,400
The comic here depicts her
parents being devoured by

980
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,000
sharks, as Mr. Dante goes on
about the tragedy of it all and

981
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,760
how hard a thing like that must
be to live with.

982
00:51:18,330 --> 00:51:21,650
The comic then shows Summer on a
raft with her younger brother.

983
00:51:21,650 --> 00:51:25,450
Here, Dante wonders how badly
Summer must have wished to she

984
00:51:25,450 --> 00:51:28,410
had died along with her parents.
Summer shakes off the

985
00:51:28,410 --> 00:51:31,090
psychological manipulation and
claims you have seen her brother

986
00:51:31,090 --> 00:51:34,570
wandering the park as some sort
of zombie after his supposed

987
00:51:34,570 --> 00:51:36,610
suicide.
She said something is wrong with

988
00:51:36,610 --> 00:51:39,450
the park and even Dante's son
Sam knows it.

989
00:51:39,690 --> 00:51:42,410
Sam does wonder aloud if the
park is haunted.

990
00:51:42,690 --> 00:51:44,570
Dante claims the answer is
simple.

991
00:51:44,570 --> 00:51:48,050
When his first wife died, he
went a long drive and left.

992
00:51:48,330 --> 00:51:53,250
His old life behind He claims he
met someone in Vegas, a silent

993
00:51:53,250 --> 00:51:56,810
benefactor who understood his
vision and invested in it.

994
00:51:57,090 --> 00:51:58,890
Believed in him when no one else
would.

995
00:51:58,890 --> 00:52:01,490
Dante claims there's nothing
supernatural about the park,

996
00:52:01,610 --> 00:52:05,770
that life is scarier than any
nightmare that he could dream up

997
00:52:05,770 --> 00:52:07,890
on his own.
He laments the losses that he

998
00:52:07,890 --> 00:52:11,330
suffered, accusing Summer of
thinking that she's the only one

999
00:52:11,330 --> 00:52:14,730
who's ever known tragedy.
He accuses her of turning his

1000
00:52:14,730 --> 00:52:17,730
failure of a son against him
when he claims it's a good

1001
00:52:17,730 --> 00:52:20,210
thing.
Their mother is no longer alive

1002
00:52:20,210 --> 00:52:22,210
to see what her children have
become.

1003
00:52:22,210 --> 00:52:25,090
It's the last straw for Sam.
He breaks their wine bottle and

1004
00:52:25,090 --> 00:52:27,610
attacks his father with it.
You'll have to read the issue

1005
00:52:27,610 --> 00:52:29,890
yourself to find out what
happens next.

1006
00:52:29,970 --> 00:52:32,930
I really enjoyed this book.
It's a horror book which is not

1007
00:52:32,930 --> 00:52:35,570
usually my Forte, but it gets
the job done.

1008
00:52:35,570 --> 00:52:38,090
The storyline is appropriately
creepy.

1009
00:52:38,090 --> 00:52:41,930
The artwork is really tight,
really stylistic.

1010
00:52:42,090 --> 00:52:44,810
I'm going to suggest that you
read this comic dark ride.

1011
00:52:44,850 --> 00:52:48,250
I suggest you read issues one to
six first before.

1012
00:52:48,330 --> 00:52:49,930
Reading this one, which is issue
7.

1013
00:52:50,370 --> 00:52:52,890
So that about does it.
From the comic book Inside the

1014
00:52:52,890 --> 00:52:56,970
Archaeological Excavator of
Funny Book magazine.

1015
00:52:57,210 --> 00:52:59,770
I will be back next week with
yet another book.

1016
00:52:59,850 --> 00:53:02,370
Remember, books are great,
movies are better, but comic

1017
00:53:02,370 --> 00:53:04,770
books are perfect.
Read a book, Watch a movie.

1018
00:53:04,770 --> 00:53:07,370
Share a comic book.
All right, take it easy.

1019
00:53:09,850 --> 00:53:14,090
This is Brian Downey, Stanley
Tweedle from the TV series Lex.

1020
00:53:14,330 --> 00:53:18,250
And you're listening to it.
Came from radio.

1021
00:53:21,250 --> 00:53:26,850
Now back to our show.
This is Charlie Saladino at the

1022
00:53:26,850 --> 00:53:31,370
Long Island Comic Fest, and I'm
here with one of my favorite

1023
00:53:31,650 --> 00:53:35,050
comic book artists of all times,
Keith Williams.

1024
00:53:35,050 --> 00:53:37,250
Keith, how are you doing today?
Hi, doing great.

1025
00:53:37,250 --> 00:53:39,010
Hi, guys.
Hi everybody out there.

1026
00:53:39,090 --> 00:53:40,920
How you doing?
Good, good.

1027
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,920
Keith, what's going on with you
these days?

1028
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,560
Well, it's basically traveling
around.

1029
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,160
It's like it's like being in the
circus, going from town to town,

1030
00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:54,640
doing doing conventions and
getting commissions and just

1031
00:53:54,760 --> 00:54:01,320
keep myself busy doing a small
indie comic thing also for

1032
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,160
Halloween.
That'll be coming up this year.

1033
00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:05,300
So.
Yeah, things like that.

1034
00:54:05,860 --> 00:54:09,340
You know, I pass, I pass you
booth all the time and I I see

1035
00:54:09,340 --> 00:54:12,820
beautiful artwork.
The thing that that gets me all

1036
00:54:12,820 --> 00:54:16,710
the time is the Phantom.
Oh yes, the Phantom.

1037
00:54:16,710 --> 00:54:19,990
Well, Phantom.
I worked on that for King

1038
00:54:19,990 --> 00:54:24,670
Features for about 10 years from
1995 to 2005.

1039
00:54:24,910 --> 00:54:27,350
Had a great time on it, Never
thought that I would ever do it.

1040
00:54:27,630 --> 00:54:31,230
Actually Got to meet the creator
Leaf Falk, which was, which was

1041
00:54:31,230 --> 00:54:34,710
absolutely amazing.
Met him a few times and really

1042
00:54:34,710 --> 00:54:37,350
just enjoyed work working on the
strip.

1043
00:54:37,710 --> 00:54:40,830
Still to this day people coming
up to me asking me for

1044
00:54:41,070 --> 00:54:44,920
commissions and.
And I even have a sketchbook now

1045
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,400
with Lou Mana, who was also a
penciler on a Phantom.

1046
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,560
I inked it and was.
We're selling those at the at

1047
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,320
the conventions also.
I'm trying to get Lou actually

1048
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,560
to come out to a few shows.
All right, here's a loaded

1049
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,840
question, Keith, out of all your
artwork, any favorites?

1050
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,000
Any favorites?
Oh my God.

1051
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,520
Any favorite?
Oh yeah, it was a loaded

1052
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,600
question.
You know, I got to tell you, got

1053
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,080
to tell you the truth.
Okay.

1054
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,560
Well, there's a few, but you
know, like I got to say that we

1055
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:18,080
have a Spiderman, which I worked
on for about 5 years with Alex

1056
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,120
Soviet.
That's that's pretty high on the

1057
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:25,720
list, along with Quasar and of
course the Phantom.

1058
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,600
You know, you can't leave out
the Phantom that for 10 years.

1059
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,520
So yeah, you got to say that
that was really very good for

1060
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,360
me.
Oh, and also one a weird one,

1061
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,550
the mask.
Which I worked on with Doug

1062
00:55:38,550 --> 00:55:41,830
Monkey and John Akuti.
I was the anchor on that, and I

1063
00:55:41,910 --> 00:55:44,910
really enjoyed doing that.
And there's a bunch of other

1064
00:55:44,910 --> 00:55:47,070
stuff.
My gosh, I I can't name all

1065
00:55:47,070 --> 00:55:49,270
this.
All the stuff that I'd love that

1066
00:55:49,270 --> 00:55:55,150
I worked on.
But yeah, Warlock, there's so

1067
00:55:55,150 --> 00:55:58,470
many.
Alright, Keith, so where can

1068
00:55:58,470 --> 00:56:01,960
everybody?
I see all this beautiful hour.

1069
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,000
Well, you could see some of the
stuff that I've done recently

1070
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,880
and commissions and maybe some
pages from certain stories that

1071
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:15,200
I did in the past on Instagram
at Keith Williams comic book

1072
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,360
art.
Or you could take a look also on

1073
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,240
Facebook.
That's Keith Williams.

1074
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:22,680
I'll be the guy that has the
Phantom Ring.

1075
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,600
That'll be flashing.
Yeah, you know, I got while I'm

1076
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,320
smiling, you know, like that.
That'll be my page.

1077
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,240
Oh, beautiful, beautiful.
Yeah, beautiful.

1078
00:56:32,240 --> 00:56:36,520
Keith and everybody go out there
and see this amazing artwork.

1079
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,560
And Kate, what's down the road
for you?

1080
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:40,800
Excuse me?
What's down the road for you?

1081
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,600
Oh, down the road for me?
Well, I'm going to be going to a

1082
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,880
few more shows.
Of course I have one that's

1083
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:50,540
coming up now in Arkansas.
Then I'm going to be at next

1084
00:56:50,540 --> 00:56:54,300
weekend for Free Comic Book Day.
So yeah, come on down if you're

1085
00:56:54,300 --> 00:56:57,380
around.
I'm advertising it on Facebook

1086
00:56:57,380 --> 00:56:59,580
and on Instagram so you'll know
where I'll be.

1087
00:56:59,980 --> 00:57:03,580
Beautiful Keith, thank you so
much for taking time out and

1088
00:57:03,780 --> 00:57:07,420
talking to us here and we look
forward to seeing you again and

1089
00:57:07,420 --> 00:57:09,340
again and again.
Well, thank you.

1090
00:57:09,340 --> 00:57:11,340
I'll be around.
Take care guys.

1091
00:57:11,460 --> 00:57:13,700
And hopefully there's not a
flood in the parking lot.

1092
00:57:13,700 --> 00:57:15,580
We could get our cards.
Oh, that would be.

1093
00:57:15,620 --> 00:57:17,660
That would be nice, but I'm sure
they have some rafts.

1094
00:57:17,660 --> 00:57:19,100
And things out here, so we'll be
able to.

1095
00:57:19,740 --> 00:57:25,620
I'm thinking this is Charlie
Saladino live at the Long Island

1096
00:57:25,620 --> 00:57:27,780
Comic Fest.
