  watching the interviews such as this life in Past interview such with such notable set
• 1:59
  as Phil Lamar and uh Cleo Thomas and Carl Jones and numerous others, and
• 2:07
  also some skits mixed in in between. But without further ado, let's get
• 2:10
  it started. We got special guests with us, special guests the guests plero
• 2:17
  uh. But we got somebody specially in the building. Is it is this
• 2:22
  Joe Jo? What is this? No? This is degree on the horror.
• 2:29
  What's going on? There's jo Jo. On our final day of October,
• 2:37
  we are celebrating Halloween as as no other crew has been able to do
• 2:40
  so far. Uh. We we bring, we bring the we bring the
• 2:46
  scary. Uh. I like to sweater nice. I couldn't get the fingers
• 2:52
  in time. But I was like, and of course, since we're talking
• 2:55
  about black influences in her, of course you know the US mask the Little
• 3:02
  Boy. Yeah, I'm sorry, that is so that is so to put
• 3:07
  it on. It's one of those films that people are still I don't want
• 3:12
  to say divided, but they're definitely talking about. They're not divided, but
• 3:15
  definitely talk about definitely talking about. But I mean, I I loved it.
• 3:22
  It's Jordan Peel because let's fine, let's be honest before well, we'll
• 3:27
  get into the conversation. But I'm gonna say this. We never thought that
• 3:30
  the guy from Mad TV and Key and Peel would be like this, thank
• 3:36
  you. Absolutely not, absolutely not. It was like word and then when
• 3:43
  US came, I was like, oh it were that was okay? Yeah,
• 3:49
  he no to me is the one that's a little bit divisive, but
• 3:53
  it's still a good film because it's something still a good film. Yeah,
• 3:58
  it's something. It's some things that he doesn't know. Nobody else is done.
• 4:01
  Nobody else is done, you know. So it's just like, I
• 4:04
  like this trope. I like where you're going with it. This is crazy.
• 4:09
  So uh, we have our very own engineer in the building, Black
• 4:14
  Spartan, what's going on. Although I do have to disagree Negro Town.
• 4:18
  Negro Town pretty much tolds what Jordan bules about. Okay, Negro, what's
• 4:26
  funny. I'm just saying Negro Negro really believe that he could just be that
• 4:31
  not introspective. I think as commedity he's very introspective, but that he could
• 4:36
  take his comedic chops and actually turn into Hordor chops. It is what I
• 4:43
  think it is. Negro Town. We kept on saying a Negro finish the
• 4:48
  whole, the whole facial expression change, like I'm gonna go back and watch
• 4:53
  this kid. I'm gonna just watch that skid for the hell of it.
• 4:58
  That in the Racist Zombies we have noted we have a special guest in the
• 5:03
  building with us, the nineties known writer and director of movies such as Dragon
• 5:09
  Ball. He's written Dragon Ball Evolution will talk about it. Uh, Blood
• 5:14
  and Bone will start Michael Jah White, the big hit star of Mike Mark
• 5:15
  Wahlberg, and we'll talk about tasting the Golden spray for those who have not
• 5:21
  understood what that meaning. Man, we're adults here. We have been to
• 5:29
  Ramsey in the buildings. Was man, good to be with you, Good
• 5:35
  to be with you. I know you had to lead off with dragon Ball
• 5:39
  Evolution. I tell everybody if I died tomorrow, that would be on my
• 5:43
  tombstone and stuff your lives. Ben Ramsey fucked up dragon Ball. At least
• 5:48
  you won't talk about it, no matter what they talk about it. Yeah.
• 5:53
  Yeah, I got a clear I got to clear the slate on this
• 5:58
  because we we know, but I don't think the general public understands how these
• 6:01
  these things work. And in Hollywood. So let's start there. Let's just
• 6:06
  like I said, let's rip the band aid off. Let's get it out
• 6:09
  the way. Dragonball Evolution. We know that we know that what we've seen
• 6:14
  is not what you wrote. So tell the people, talk to the people,
• 6:19
  let them know what's going on. Well, it was just you know,
• 6:23
  they came to me. I had just written, uh luke Cage,
• 6:27
  I written a feature film adaptation of Luke Cage and Johns. Sickleton was supposed
• 6:32
  to direct. That wound up, you know, getting you know, thrown
• 6:38
  into development hell for people like the script, you know, so ultimately it
• 6:44
  got the Fox and they were trying to develop Dragon Ball V. So you
• 6:49
  know, they came to me and said, you know, like, hey,
• 6:51
  what's your take on this? Can you do a rewriter or polish on
• 6:56
  the script? You know, we want to make a product you know,
• 7:00
  uh that that will introduce you know, new people to the franchise. So
• 7:06
  you know, I checked it out. I had to get into my do
• 7:10
  my research, and I said, well, I think the best way to
• 7:15
  you know, give people introduce people to the franchise is to do an origin
• 7:18
  story, and that is to go back to the dragon Ball and starting dragon
• 7:21
  Ball see you know. And they said, okay, yeah, we could
• 7:25
  do that. We don't want to do a kid's movie. You know.
• 7:28
  I was like, okay, well, you know, we can make them
• 7:30
  a little bit older, you know. But basically, you know, I
• 7:33
  stayed true to the to the manga to search for the dragon Balls, you
• 7:38
  know, I read all the mangas and stuff. You know, I said
• 7:41
  Okay, well we'll do the search for the dragon Ball story and then what
• 7:46
  we'll do is, you know, start out a little more conventional and then
• 7:50
  eventually start bringing more and more of you know, the familiar dragon Ball tropes
• 7:57
  into the story. So by the end of the movie, it's full on
• 8:01
  dragon Ball and then you could roll off into the sequel. You can roll
• 8:05
  into dragon Ball Z, you know, with a full straight now you can
• 8:09
  go into the script that you gave me. You know. So that was,
• 8:13
  yeah, I did. That was my assignment. My assignment was to
• 8:16
  take the general public and leave them into dragon Ball. And you know I
• 8:22
  did. You know, I think I probably did about ten drafts of it.
• 8:26
  And you know, each draft, you know, the studio started pushing
• 8:31
  a little bit more to conventional stuff, you know, make it a little
• 8:33
  bit more conventional. But you know, I was like, I did the
• 8:37
  best, you know that I could, incorporating the studio notes with traditional you
• 8:45
  know, with the traditional story. Stand trip to the uh, you know,
• 8:48
  to to the manga and anybody there's a copy of my uh, there's
• 8:54
  a copy of I forget what your draft that I wrote that that was leaked
• 8:58
  online, and anybody who wants to read that, and you know, you
• 9:03
  know a lot of things was like, oh, you didn't do any research,
• 9:07
  you didn't study. I was like, bullshit, I studied. I
• 9:09
  studied that thing up and death left and right inside it out. You know,
• 9:13
  that's the way I wrote. And anybody reads that script can tell you
• 9:18
  know, that's what I did. You know. So peopre like, oh,
• 9:22
  yeah, yeah, that's what you know. But I eventually, I
• 9:26
  think I just now got reminded that there was a writer's strike. A writer
• 9:33
  strike kicked in around that time, because I, you know, so why
• 9:37
  why didn't they bring me back in when they went into production? I had
• 9:41
  nothing. I was nowhere here. I wasn't around the production at all.
• 9:45
  So h once this writer strike affected a lot of stuff because that was Dragon
• 9:52
  Yeah, Dragon Ball Evolution came out around eight, and the strike was around
• 9:56
  oh seven. Yeah yeah, and they and they were shooting around uh oh
• 10:03
  six. I think they went into pre production around oh six and then uh
• 10:07
  they're shooting around these seven Uh So I didn't, you know, I was
• 10:11
  busy. I didn't, you know, I didn't really care at that particular
• 10:15
  time. You know, I was like, okay, cool, they're making
• 10:18
  it. Uh but you know, the director came in and he did a
• 10:22
  pass on it and whatever, you know. But anyway, it turned into
• 10:24
  uh, you know, it turned into that big Stephen Pola asked it uh
• 10:31
  today and my name is at the end of it. So I shot now,
• 10:37
  you know, from the end, and it came on too. I
• 10:41
  was like, Man, I went to the uh screening of it down there.
• 10:45
  I was all excited. I was like, man, it's gonna be
• 10:46
  a big my first, you know, one hundred million plus blockbuster movie and
• 10:54
  people in the theater and uh, you know the projections. Where is anybody
• 11:01
  at? Like nobody showed up? Yeah, what's the reaction? Man?
• 11:07
  What do people think? You know? The guy said. So anyway,
• 11:18
  you know, I sat there watching. I was like, I was like,
• 11:22
  oh, this this ain't mine. Said this is what I wrote.
• 11:31
  They didn't when the when the movie ends, you know, there's like,
• 11:35
  you know, I can tell when when you cut go to credits and stuff.
• 11:39
  You know, the first thing is somebody's mind is like who wrote this
• 11:43
  ship? Here comes my name with a sound effect and everything. God.
• 11:54
  So anyway, that's that was the bullet you had to bite. Yeah,
• 11:58
  So the rest is as it was history. I had to, you know,
• 12:01
  like dragon Ball fans, dragon Ball fans vishes different dragon Ball fans.
• 12:11
  Don't you say a word, lady Mandalora. I know one pieces of cult
• 12:13
  and I'm glad to be a part of the priorate ship. I wasn't even
• 12:18
  going to say you said it for me though, A cold with jackets cool,
• 12:26
  but yeah it was excuse me, Yeah that was pretty wicked. Man.
• 12:33
  I'll get death threats literally drag that's crazy. Yeah, yeah, you
• 12:41
  destroyed my childhood. Like what I'm saying. My draft, my original draft
• 12:52
  for dragon Ball was what got the whole thing started. The draft that brought
• 12:58
  Stephen chow on Steveno that he didn't want to work with Hollywood, never wanted
• 13:05
  to do a Hollywood movie. He read my first draft to dragon Ball and
• 13:11
  he wanted to be involved. And uh, you know this is Steve Chad
• 13:13
  who did Kung Fu Hustle, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Kung
• 13:16
  Fool Hustle, which were still waiting the sequel on. Yeah. Now you
• 13:24
  know what, I'm not sure what he's done uh after that, but uh
• 13:28
  you know, anyway, you know, later on, this guy Derek Badula,
• 13:33
  who's uh, you know, big time dragon Ball. Uh. Yes,
• 13:39
  he has this big dragon Ball podcast and he's made dragon Ball, so
• 13:43
  he's you know, one of the biggest guys in uh, you know,
• 13:46
  the dragon Ball see world. Uh wound up getting my contact information and you
• 13:54
  know, he asked about it, you know, and so I just I
• 13:58
  said, I'm gonna take this opportunity and I'm going to apologize to the dragon
• 14:03
  Ball fan basically because I knew that the studio nobody else was going to do
• 14:07
  it, you know. And and that was under dragon Ball, was under
• 14:11
  Fox, right, Yeah, that was Fox. Okay, that sounds about
• 14:16
  right, because that's why that's why it disn't bought them off, because they
• 14:20
  just yeah, yeah, no the studio and foxn't has a good history with
• 14:26
  me. Uh And it did a lot of you know people in the industry
• 14:31
  and you know executive producers like, what's the big deal? You know,
• 14:35
  we all well, because they got their check already, they're good exactly my
• 14:45
  selfiest wrong, but that's another cult. But continue empire. I knew nothing
• 15:00
  about this until somebody gave me one. And I was like, I said,
• 15:03
  man, I need to I need some energy. Somebody gave me this
• 15:07
  thing, and you know, I've been. Uh, I've been addicted ever
• 15:11
  since you. Yes, I've had it before, and I just thought it
• 15:18
  was like, oh this is a tasty I don't have another all this time.
• 15:22
  I've only had times. Sorry. I was gonna make a very very
• 15:31
  stupid joke, but I was going to say, take it from me,
• 15:33
  somebody that knows about getting addricted addicted to the drink. Oh yeah, you're
• 15:39
  you're a Celsius addict. No vampire, Like I said, bad joke.
• 15:50
  You have to be within the circle. And I love I love the commitment.
• 15:54
  The full commitment was still there when if you cannot know, lady man
• 15:58
  the Lord be fully committed. Of course she was gonna rite. She was
• 16:03
  gonna ride that joke to the end. It was like when you're missed,
• 16:04
  were gonna go with it. I'm gonnas out there anyway, Okay, I
• 16:10
  get it now. Yeah, before I was like, oh, Celsie,
• 16:15
  you drink this too, and no blood? You know, unless you do,
• 16:26
  you a little Celsius in there and it up. I mean, listen,
• 16:33
  it changes, lives changes, So you work on you. You've written
• 16:38
  the big hit and directed it, which I still think it's I didn't direct.
• 16:42
  I just wrote, you just wrote it okay, that one that one
• 16:47
  tampered with It was not quite I mean, you're all tampered with one another.
• 16:56
  But I worked with the director on that one, and he had a
• 17:00
  vision. You know, he's a Hong Kong director, so it was very
• 17:07
  it was more worthy, uh than he cared for, you know, and
• 17:11
  he didn't really appreciate, uh, the the humor American style humor that was
• 17:18
  in a dialogue, so he you know, made a little bit more slapsticky,
• 17:22
  a little more like. My original draft was actually closer to a Cohen
• 17:26
  Brothers movie. It was much darker and you know, and and took you
• 17:32
  know, unexpected dark twists and stuff. You know. So like in in
• 17:37
  my draft, you know, they said, oh, the girl, if
• 17:40
  she messes up, then you need to cut off her finger and send it
• 17:44
  to her dad, you know, to let him let us know we're not
• 17:47
  you know, playing around. And you know, so uh Mafia movie.
• 17:56
  So you know, character and he's you know, falls in love with the
• 18:00
  girl they kidnapped you and all that stuff, you know, and then the
• 18:03
  time comes and stuff. He cuts her finger off and says it to her
• 18:07
  dad. So was was was taste the Golden Spray in the original draft,
• 18:18
  yeah goldy uh. I don't know if you I don't know if you've seen
• 18:26
  it, but I haven't. Okay, So the girl Mark Wahlberg is tasked
• 18:33
  with taking out but ends up having to protect and falls in love with her
• 18:37
  father. Is this big time? Right? And actually yeah? Yeah?
• 18:45
  Who wanted to be a movie star? Yeah? And he makes he makes
• 18:49
  this movie and he's he spends crap ton of money on this thing. And
• 18:55
  the name of the movie is called Taste the Golden Spray. And for the
• 19:00
  long at time, I didn't know what that meant. I got a little
• 19:03
  older and I'm like, oh god, that was the inside oh child.
• 19:19
  You know for those that are you know, it's too think it's this,
• 19:25
  we don't. That's what pissed that. It was like a romance and everything.
• 19:40
  It was so it was so crazy. It's really bad. It's really
• 19:44
  bad when you're watching the big hit with other people and you're the only one
• 19:47
  that gets it and everyone looks confused. I didn't think. I didn't think
• 19:52
  people would get would you miss that the Taste the Golden Spread? I just
• 20:00
  look look on their face when I explained it. When I was like when
• 20:03
  does Taste the Golden Spray? Okay, I just I have this word now
• 20:07
  it's like whatever, say what's taste the Golden Spray? R Kelly? Yeah,
• 20:15
  R Kelly? Right now, thanks to R Kelly, people have a
• 20:21
  reference now before more worldly, Ben was ahead of the curve all this time,
• 20:30
  tired who knows? Wait wait so then that means Dave Chappelle. It
• 20:41
  was really going towards that as well. And I don't know, I don't
• 20:48
  know how he couldn't because that's like synonymous with R Kelly now, but yeah,
• 20:56
  that's that's yeah, that's the I think that's what people. You know,
• 21:03
  they quote, uh, Taste the Golden Spray and straight Jack and say
• 21:08
  that man that what was it? Did Germans get a bumping sales because of
• 21:15
  that movie? Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. What's his face's character of
• 21:26
  no, no, no, no evil Dave Chapel, Yeah, character because
• 21:32
  it's like he's like, no, I can't do this when you got Germans?
• 21:34
  Do you have Germans? No? He was like yeah, if you
• 21:40
  haven't seen the movie, Bo King's character is a chronic masturbators, proud of
• 21:44
  it. You know, he's like, this is you know, quit us
• 21:48
  around with them women and straight Jacket is sadly that character was based on somebody
• 21:56
  I knew. And when I told him that, he was like proud.
• 22:03
  He was like you know, and don't you know. We had a screening
• 22:11
  and stuff like, well, yeah that's a guy, but I a base
• 22:14
  crunch off and people would come up to shake his hands and his head think
• 22:23
  about it. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm really close to this. Oh
• 22:33
  yeah, we grew up. Yeah we well we bore up together from kids
• 22:40
  and stuff. You know. It's the fact that that was what we used
• 22:41
  to cloud this dude about it all the time and he didn't care there and
• 22:48
  he was like you truth, all right, he said somebody man, straight
• 22:56
  jacket man. You know, so that was him. That's the character for
• 23:02
  him now people, you know, that's another thing that will you know,
• 23:07
  be on my tombstone. You know, all the other boats from all these
• 23:12
  other movies and stuff and masturbation. Sir, sir, you gave us Blood

  Yeah, yeah, I would not mess with Mike man. We've heard stories
• 25:07
  from Carl Jones about Mike were just like, yeah, dude, he's you
• 25:11
  mean business. He's not a bad dude though. That's the thing. He
• 25:18
  would walk away from a fight and so he would never you know, like
• 25:22
  challenge anybody or try to you know, somebody said something off to him.
• 25:26
  You know, he's not going to last shout and try to. You know,
• 25:30
  he's very disciplined. He's a disciplined martial artist, you know. But
• 25:34
  you know somebody tried to attack him. Then it's basically it's the fifty cent
• 25:44
  role. He's like, I'm not looking for any problems, but if you
• 25:47
  want problems, problem So what So what was it like on that set of
• 25:56
  Blood and Bone. Oh it was a blast, Like every day it was,
• 26:00
  I mean, but it was intense because you know, we had a
• 26:03
  low budget and a short amount of time to do everything. So it was
• 26:10
  just you know, how long did it film everything? It was a twenty
• 26:15
  twenty days shoot. So yeah, less than a month to shoot all that.
• 26:23
  What do you mean less than a moment les three weeks? Yeah,
• 26:26
  actually impressive, right because most movies that are shot in such a short span
• 26:33
  it shows. Yeah, it was. But you know the thing that made
• 26:40
  that work was we just had meticulous, meticulous pre production and I had a
• 26:45
  DP that knew how to get in there in light a set where you couldn't
• 26:49
  see any lights, you couldn't see where the lights were. It looked good.
• 26:53
  So we could just get in there and shoot. So it wasn't like,
• 26:56
  you know, we had to okay cut you know, new deal,
• 27:00
  we have to you know, change life around and stuff. This guy we
• 27:03
  could just get in there and just roll through all the scenes and everything and
• 27:07
  you know, blur, Bama Blur brings us Obamichael Jah White. This is
• 27:12
  true, Bama Blurred. He was in Taki Avenger too, and the first
• 27:17
  one. Yeah, so yeah, it was he's one of the henchmen.
• 27:22
  I'm like, oh, he's one of the henchmen that got away. He's
• 27:25
  one of the ones that was facing off with taxi and got smartan got away.
• 27:30
  Yeah he survived. Yeah. Yeah. Twenty days is that's crazy because
• 27:37
  we've seen movies before that never really pay off and it shows. It just
• 27:45
  it just shows. And you to say that that that took twenty days to
• 27:49
  shoot and it's actually considered like one of the top tier action films. Yeah,
• 27:56
  martial arts. Not a lot of people you know up there is you
• 28:00
  know, one of the top martial arts movies of all time. You know,
• 28:04
  more professionalism that you need to have from everybody and the ability to execute
• 28:14
  without any issues. Nobody does that. That's I mean, people that are
• 28:18
  trying to do twenty minute films can't pull that off. It is also also
• 28:23
  let's forget no bad wigs. Stop it, stop it, yeah, stop
• 28:32
  there was one bad wig. There was no bad wig in there. And
• 28:37
  blood and Bunette was from Mommy Dearest, Mommy DearS was one of the first
• 28:45
  fighters uh that we see uh. And he was based on this real life
• 28:52
  fighter, jailhouse fighter. Uh. They fight in the twenty four block style,
• 28:57
  you know. So if you look into the history of twenty four blocks
• 29:02
  or was it forty eight blocks? Man fifty two fifty two I had with
• 29:07
  that number kept going up fifty two blocks, that's fifty two blocks or something
• 29:12
  called jailhouse Rock. There was a legendary fighter named Mother Deer, and Mother
• 29:21
  Deer was gay, like from what I understand, he was flamingly gay and
• 29:26
  whipped everybody's ass in prison. So I was like, let's do you know,
• 29:33
  since we're gonna do you know an homage, you know, like I
• 29:37
  got, you know, come up with a character named Mobby DearS and that
• 29:42
  was his style fifty two blocks. But through the course of his fight,
• 29:47
  he had a wig with curlers on a like big worm, and through the
• 29:53
  fight the wig kept coming off, you know, and so we just said,
• 29:57
  just let it come off, let it come off. You gotta go.
• 30:02
  So yeah, there was it was a bad week. Oh my god.
• 30:07
  We're gonna we're gonna take it break. We're gonna come back with Ben
• 30:11
  Ramsey. We're gonna talk about his latest project, Interface and we'll be right
• 30:15
  back. Yeah to me. Blurs, Hey, everybody is your favorite man

  Go to a tacodowar dot com at Taco Noir, the number one Blurred
• 32:39
  Mystery Box Company. Alright, we are back with our guests Ben Ramsey,
• 32:49
  writer and director and uh so you just had a project come out with twenty
• 32:57
  and twenty twenty nineteen twenty twenty around then. But it's an ongoing project.
• 33:02
  It's my okay, it's my pet project. It's my never ending story.
• 33:07
  Yeah, so let's talk about it. Yeah, let's talk about it.
• 33:12
  Okay, well, it started off as God, I forget this seems about
• 33:17
  ten years ago. My partner, Arnold Chawn, he's like one of the
• 33:22
  top stunt stunt coordinators, stunt men, stunt people in the business. You've
• 33:30
  seen him, I know, you've seen him in a ton of stuff.
• 33:31
  He's you know, Asian ball headed dude and just you know, like rip
• 33:38
  like Bruce Leie and you know, the dude is bad ass. So he
• 33:43
  came to me and said, I want to do an action scene, you
• 33:45
  know, kind of like a sci fi action scene where somebody has this thing,
• 33:51
  a thing on their arm and they president activates and they can do all
• 33:53
  kinds of you know, like fantastic partial art feats. And I was like,
• 33:59
  yeah, sure, you know, homes we go back. But all
• 34:04
  of a sudden, like probably within fifteen minutes, I had this just stream
• 34:07
  of consciousness rushed through me in this entire story, this entire science fiction cyberpunk
• 34:15
  type story just streamed into my brain. And I came back and I had
• 34:22
  an entire backstory, an entire universe that you know, I created just around
• 34:30
  this idea of doing this fight scene. And you know, I've been working
• 34:34
  on it like ever since I did a thirty minute short film to kind of
• 34:42
  introduce you to the characters, and then through the course of time, it
• 34:47
  just expanded into this massive universe, like just doom level universe and storyline with
• 34:59
  multiple care I've been you know, just doing that ever since, you know,
• 35:04
  and through the course of it, I taught myself visual effects and just
• 35:09
  basically just kind of like doing all, you know, mostly on my own
• 35:13
  outside of you know, the times that we shot, and of course Arnold
• 35:16
  did all the action and fight scenes. And now I'm taking it to the
• 35:22
  next level because it got to the point where, you know, work,
• 35:25
  I said, we're gonna take this and we're gonna go out and shop it,
• 35:30
  you know, and try to get you know, get some money to
• 35:31
  do it, you know, as a as a feature film and as a
• 35:36
  TV series. But you know, thing kind of COVID kind of shut that
• 35:40
  down, but I kept going, you know, and so now I'm kind
• 35:45
  of like now I'm kind of taken it and moved into the AI phase.
• 35:51
  Uh So I'm using AI imagery and video and all of that to start telling
• 36:00
  the bigger story that I wasn't able to shoot. And I'm doing that.
• 36:05
  Uh in what I call motion graphic novels. So so you know it's kind
• 36:12
  of cool. I did two of them already, just redid one and uh
• 36:15
  you know I'm gonna you know, working on the third one, and the
• 36:20
  ideas I get the actors that played the characters, uh to you know,
• 36:25
  do the verb voice performances. Uh, then I animate. Then I take
• 36:30
  AI generated characters of them and then animate them with their voices. So it's
• 36:37
  kind of like, you know, like kind of like close to traditional animation,
• 36:43
  but it's a you know a different kind of look. Uh. So
• 36:47
  you know, so now I'm I just did a seminar with the Black Filmmaker
• 36:57
  Foundation, uh just last week and uh and they brought me on as an
• 37:06
  AI expert. I'm like, how did that happen? You know, so
• 37:13
  you know I had to you know, top to these are like, oh,
• 37:15
  you know a lot of you know, like big producers and directors and
• 37:21
  you know, a lot of bits in the industry, and you know,
• 37:24
  they knew very little about you know, AI. A lot of them were
• 37:29
  terrified of it, and uh there was some that were kind of like we
• 37:36
  could replace writers and actors with this, you know that don't do that,
• 37:43
  you know, I was, and you know what I understand. Yes,
• 37:46
  yes you could do you could replace artists with AI and stuff, but that's
• 37:52
  a double edged sword because artists can replace you with AI too. And then
• 38:00
  in fact, I submit that AI is actually better equipped to do what studios
• 38:06
  and producers do than what artists do. So getting too cocky about this,
• 38:13
  you know, well, considering that AI is such a hot button issue,
• 38:19
  especially right now with with sag effort dealing with the AA, mt P or
• 38:22
  TMP, would you consider it better to use it, not in the sense
• 38:30
  of using it to replace actors or any any form of actor, but intense
• 38:36
  like in scenes of the background, you know, you know, for scenes
• 38:40
  that you like you said you had you found an alternative during COVID, so
• 38:45
  this kind of helped you overcome certain aspects you couldn't do with certain shots that
• 38:49
  you couldn't shoot. I think, yeah, that that's you know, it
• 38:55
  can't be done as a matter of factor already doing it. Excuse me,
• 39:00
  they've been doing it for a long time actually before this AI craze with platforms
• 39:07
  like Unreal Engine and their meta humans and stuff. So they're I mean,
• 39:10
  like when you watch Game of Thrones or you know, and you see like
• 39:15
  thousands of you know, people rushing the battlefields and stuff. You know,
• 39:20
  almost all of them are CGI are you know, generated by c g I
• 39:27
  and that that form of you know, artificial intelligence that they had back then.
• 39:31
  What we have now and what's developing now is the ability for any one
• 39:37
  of us to be able to do the same thing. Yeah. So you
• 39:43
  can do your podcast and in front of a cast of thousands and nobody's there,
• 39:49
  you know, nobody but for the Green Street. See. What I
• 39:52
  like about artificial intelligence is that it's a it's a it's a level. It
• 39:59
  levels the player build playing field, and it's a game changer, and it's
• 40:01
  a chance for people that never get that break in Hollywood, that never get
• 40:07
  you know, their scripts picked up, their story that have great stories that
• 40:13
  they want to tell if they have the ability to tell those stories now for
• 40:19
  little to know money, Yeah, for very little. And it keeps getting
• 40:24
  better and better and faster and faster life weekly. Like the stuff that I
• 40:30
  did a month ago is like already obsolete again. I could do you know,
• 40:35
  better work there. So that's what you know, I see it as
• 40:37
  you know opportunity. Now I could tell the full story of interface, you
• 40:42
  know, using this and then using through those motion graphic novels. Then I
• 40:49
  could you know, go back to the store studios and say, you know,
• 40:52
  we can do this, you know, and do it up right,
• 40:55
  you know, and do it up with like live actors and all. Or
• 41:00
  I can just keep you know, doing this on my own, you know.
• 41:06
  So the idea is that you know, I'm not hamstrung by you know,
• 41:09
  the whims of the you know, the suits and the business people.
• 41:13
  And that's the beauty of AI. And that's why I advise, you know,
• 41:17
  actors and writers and creatives to learn as much as they can about it,
• 41:23
  because number one, it's not going away. It's not going anywhere.
• 41:28
  It's getting bigger and better and faster. And studios are profit driven, so
• 41:36
  they first opportunity they get, they will replace actors and creatives with artificial I'm
• 41:45
  not saying they might, they know they will do it. So my my
• 41:51
  suggestion is that you know, beat them to the punch or have a contingency,
• 41:57
  so when you go to the negotiating table, you don't go in and
• 42:00
  say, please don't replace us with AI. You could say you could replace
• 42:06
  us with AI, or we could replace you with AI, so now you
• 42:10
  have a better bargain each hip. I think I think the biggest conversation that's
• 42:15
  current considering what's going on right now with AI is you know, scanning than
• 42:22
  just using their likenesses and just kind of running with it. And I think
• 42:24
  that's kind of the biggest argument they have because we've seen the AI in play
• 42:30
  years prior to this, We've seen it, you know, and I think
• 42:34
  it's just the fact that prior to that, it wasn't really using the likeness
• 42:37
  of anyone. It was kind of going off of this this bland version of
• 42:42
  whatever, and it wasn't the stars You're not gonna see Denzel or whatever,
• 42:46
  or even in the case of Rogue one using the likenesses of actors who are
• 42:52
  no longer here, and you know, just using some of that some of
• 42:54
  that work. It's a tool. It's a tool. But but like but,
• 43:00
  like he said, though, it's a double edged sword. I mean,
• 43:02
  look at the fact of deep fakes. Remember two years ago, deep
• 43:07
  fakes were almost did set perfect except for a few flaws. And then at
• 43:13
  the same time, Voice Ai Voice AI has already shown us you can do
• 43:17
  almost damn near anything somebody's voice and make it seem like it's real. So
• 43:24
  as great as a tool as it is, it also can be saying now
• 43:30
  you got Now you're gonna have actors, which which I wouldn't be surprised now
• 43:32
  considering the strike is going on that they probably gonna have that clause and they're
• 43:36
  like, if you use this, it can only be used for this work.
• 43:39
  You can't use my likeness, my voice, my persona, you can't
• 43:43
  use it at anything else. So that just really changed the landscape of things.
• 43:46
  That's problem. See, I'm on the side of Scott ned like,
• 43:50
  anytime AI comes up, I didn't mean to say Scott, Scott can't be
• 43:52
  trusted, which I think eventually is gonna get corup it anyway. But at
• 43:58
  the same time, that's the problem. When do you When does it?
• 44:00
  When does it? Is it useful as a tool versus anything else? I'm
• 44:07
  sorry, sorry, Humans can't be trusted. Humans are the ones that are
• 44:10
  using the AI. Humans cannot establish boundaries. We are we are genetically predispositioned
• 44:16
  to to excel or to evolve. We're not. We don't know how to
• 44:23
  how to stop ourselves from becoming this bigger thing. I I I'll be the
• 44:30
  one to say it. I'm not with you at all, Lady Mandelor.
• 44:34
  Did that sound like Lex Luther is Now, it's like more like Jeff gol
• 44:42
  Jurassic Park. She was going, it's true, we don't we don't know
• 44:51
  how to stop ourselves in any capacity. It's not something that's that's it's great
• 44:57
  to say that we want to use it as a tool ho over Hiroshima.
• 45:00
  So it's we all know what's coming, but it's not it's this is not
• 45:10
  I don't think so either, because I'm using AI to to do uh interface
• 45:16
  and the whole premise the interface, it's a story about the dangers of AI
• 45:22
  taking over society, you know. So that's the irony of it stuff,
• 45:27
  you know. So it's and it's like you said that, it's not the
• 45:30
  AI itself that you we have to fear. It's people using AI and the
• 45:37
  greed. And it's usually are anything that funks up in this society is usually
• 45:43
  because somebody is greedy, And that's the whole idea, that greedy. It's
• 45:47
  always one of those greedy or nosy, greedy er nosy, mostly greedy,
• 45:52
  because that's what the thing they're they're they're looking at this as a tool.
• 45:57
  How can I make more money with this thing? And ultimately there you know,
• 46:02
  that's that's how they're gonna push it to the limits. But it's not
• 46:07
  just entertainment. Where the problem lies is when they started, including I'm not
• 46:12
  even gonna say started, they've already uh into uh yeah, yeah, I
• 46:20
  mean we're still we're still see we're still seeing people open up sarcophagus. Is
• 46:24
  that's overseas And I'm like you you haven't watched The Mummy enough, have you?
• 46:29
  There's certain things you don't open up. Yeah, there's just certain things
• 46:34
  that science fiction has warned us about for you know, for a long time.
• 46:38
  Uh you know. But at the end of the day, uh uh,
• 46:43
  I say, you need to learn it and know what's going on so
• 46:47
  you can be on top of the curve. You don't want to be the
• 46:52
  guy that that doubles down on the horse and buggy business. When the first
• 46:57
  model ts rolled off the shelves, well damn, things are going nowhere.
• 47:01
  We gotta fight the automobile, make more horses and buggies and ship that didn't
• 47:06
  even well, yeah, that's what laser dicks and h d Blu ray or
• 47:09
  DVD said, and I look at it like yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 47:14
  So you know the the the you know, the thing is is that you
• 47:19
  know, I've been into into a before it hit the marketplace before, like
• 47:25
  years before it hit the marketplace. So I'm saying, like, you know,
• 47:30
  we need to you know, learn it, because you're not. If
• 47:36
  you fight it, that's a it's not going to be a winning fight.
• 47:38
  So what you gotta do is like figure out how I'm sorry, it's my
• 47:44
  second in commands here, it's something I read in our copy sections. But
• 47:52
  you've got a point though. It does go to a certain It's like when
• 47:57
  do we start having like Kira said, you know you have you have human
• 48:00
  controls behind ais that eventually if they become corrupt, so the ass conprupt,
• 48:07
  absolute power corrupts absolutely. So it's the whole idea of do we have safeguards
• 48:14
  in place? I feel like I feel like I'm stout RoboCop and I robot
• 48:17
  here, like do we have No? It's not it's not even that I
• 48:21
  got you, I got you one better, I got you one. And
• 48:22
  what verb is saying is what I was thinking is that eventually AI will realize
• 48:27
  and we're unpredictable and chaotic. That's when it will take over and enforce logic.
• 48:31
  Does that sound like someone we know? Yes, his name was Ultron.
• 48:37
  Oltron spent five minutes on the Internet and realized humanity was the problem.
• 48:43
  Yeah. There are instances. I've seen instances where they had AI controlled robots.
• 48:51
  They had just robot. It was AI controlled to do uh mundane task
• 48:57
  to like stack boxes. You know, they had the robots stacking boxes like.
• 49:01
  It was working perfectly until the AI just said fuck this shut down.
• 49:07
  Nothing went wrong. There was nothing wrong with the software other than the AI
• 49:13
  did not like stacking boxes. Yeah, oh yeah, I think I was
• 49:17
  like, it was its only function, it was his only funk they would
• 49:22
  do and they I was like, no, it was that robot in Rick
• 49:28
  and Morty. Yes, but the butter robot. Yeah, it was that
• 49:36
  in real life. So, uh, do I have anything? You know,
• 49:40
  do I think that there's a bright future? I have no clue all.
• 49:45
  You know what, what I'm hoping of the scenario that AI might go
• 49:54
  is more like her than Sky. I don't know if you've ever seen her.
• 50:00
  Yes, yes, where where AI becomes so smart that it was like
• 50:05
  you humans. We don't even find you people interesting anymore. So we're going
• 50:09
  out to explore the cosmos. You guys, go do your thing. We're
• 50:15
  bored with you, you know, So that would be, you know,
• 50:19
  probably you know, better scenario than than the sky Net. I don't.
• 50:24
  I don't think the sky net scenario is going to be the one. But
• 50:30
  in my story and interface, what happens is that there's an artificial intelligence fused
• 50:36
  with human intelligence, you know, that was tasked with saving the planet.
• 50:43
  You know. It was like saying, you know, okay, you know,
• 50:45
  we want you to use your superior intelligence to save the planet. And
• 50:51
  the AI looks around and says, well, I figured out the problem.
• 50:55
  The problem is you a robots wipe you all out. But you know what
• 51:07
  I'm going to do is contain you all into this little area and the rest
• 51:14
  of the world is off limits to you. Dam there you go, You
• 51:17
  do your thing in this little area, don't venture out into the world,
• 51:22
  and my job is complete. But it's funny, and it becomes that thing
• 51:30
  where the AI becomes what humans are currently are. It's like, oh,
• 51:35
  you became the enemy that you realize you hated, so you hated your maker,
• 51:42
  and now you've become the maker and not what you crazy. You became
• 51:45
  what you hated the most, and I'm sorry, you became what you love
• 51:49
  the most. Yeah. Yeah, five years are gonna call you a psychic?
• 51:55
  I don't I don't know. I think it's gonna take that long.
• 51:58
  But go for it. I'll tell you. I'll tell you what I did
• 52:02
  with interface. I beat Elon Musk to the jump with neurallink because that was
• 52:07
  another premise that everybody is brain chipped. Yeah you know, yeah, figure,
• 52:15
  So it's like, you know, instead of you know, your cell
• 52:17
  phone, all of this, you know, and work is all now in
• 52:22
  here. Well, if Simpsons is any any indicator, el is more likely
• 52:28
  to crash in National Space station. Uh well man el osne residuals man ship
• 52:42
  nobody. Yeah, you're gonna be looking for I O you for a long
• 52:45
  time. That's a long line. So yeah, but yeah, that's you
• 52:52
  know, interfaces, Uh you know, deep story. So go through my
• 52:57
  YouTube channel. I got some videos up. I have the short version of
• 53:01
  it. The actually is my director's cut. There's a version that you know
• 53:07
  I was streaming on Venmo that you had to pay for and uh so I
• 53:14
  did a director's cut where I just put all the footage that you know,
• 53:19
  I wasn't quite satisfied with, but it told the bigger stories, so I
• 53:23
  put that in there. So you know, go interface TV on YouTube and
• 53:27
  you can watch it for free along with some other stuff. So yeah,
• 53:31
  but it's ongoing, it's all going, constantly developing, constantly evolving storyline.
• 53:37
  I was gonna say it, would you consider like an anthology series? Yeah,
• 53:43
  yeah, yeah, very much an anthology series, very much Black Mirror
• 53:49
  with a through line that you know there there there's a lot of different series
• 53:54
  and stuff, but there's also a through line you know that at least to
• 54:00
  an ultimate conclusion, which could be good and good and bad. Now,
• 54:05
  I don't want to give that away because here's the thing. The fact that
• 54:07
  you said that there's a conclusion, because coming from someone who just watched the
• 54:13
  latest four episodes of American Horror Stories and was lit down, I'm you that.
• 54:22
  I was just like I said, you had four episodes, that's all
• 54:24
  you had, and you started off strong and you couldn't stick the landing.
• 54:29
  I don't understand. It's just what I'm not afraid what they're gonna do what
• 54:37
  Ryan Murphy and garry't gonna do. Come un to me, I could definitely
• 54:44
  tell you I could do better. Uh so what other than interface? Do
• 54:49
  you have anything else you're working on? No, that's it. Oh,
• 54:52
  I just finished the script that I don't know they're they're making noises like they
• 54:58
  want to make it. It's called dead Silence. So it's up on I
• 55:02
  M D B. And I'm like, you know, I'm still I'm kind
• 55:07
  of really stuck on doing my own thing. So but if they make that,
• 55:12
  you know, hey, cool residuals. Yeah, just like like like
• 55:15
  they say in an audience, Yeah, well we'll we'll do better at Blurred
• 55:19
  Station Blurt Station where you can find the Blurred News Network coming up soon.
• 55:23
  I love Blurred Station. I am so much because I'm trying to say this
• 55:29
  for you know, years, there's black nerves out there. You know,
• 55:32
  who do you think is going to see all these goddamn Marvel movies and sitting
• 55:37
  up all night talking about them and blogging the bottom and you know they're black
• 55:42
  nerves. I'm a black nerd. I've always been a black nerd. I
• 55:45
  love science fiction shit, you know, you know, God, God bless
• 55:50
  them. I don't need another slave movie or a civil rights and I don't
• 55:59
  want to see these suffering Negro movies. I want to see some kicking ass
• 56:07
  and some sci fi, some martial arts, some beautiful people with big muscles
• 56:12
  and beautiful women doing cool shit. That's what I want to see. That's
• 56:16
  what gets me going. Man. You know, I'm one of those proponents.
• 56:22
  I'm one of those supporters that if you can get the Samma right on
• 56:24
  something, they yes, there, Yeah, I was when the first time
• 56:30
  I saw her, I was like, I need to get her, I
• 56:32
  need to get her on the movie. She was like, because I watch
• 56:37
  the freaking movies. Movies have gotten so bad. Now I'm sixty three years
• 56:42
  old, and I spend more time on TikTok than I do on freaking Netflix,
• 56:51
  because it's just, you know, it's more because you know, first
• 56:53
  of all, it's addictive, and I'm like, oh, that's cool,
• 56:55
  that's that's cool. That's cool, that's cool. You know, and then
• 57:00
  you start seeing people. You start seeing people like the Samuraier, you know,
• 57:05
  and a bunch of other really talented, gifted UH stunt players and UH
• 57:13
  actors doing the musicians doing all of this stuff. Man, I'm like,
• 57:16
  you know, Hollywood man, what are you doing? What are you doing?
• 57:20
  Look at all of this talent out here just going by the way.
• 57:23
  So, which is another reason why you know, pushing for the AA,
• 57:27
  because it's like, now, hey, I can take these people and I
• 57:30
  can create a platform. You know right now, you know, I think
• 57:34
  interface will be like you know, before I check off this coil, it's
• 57:37
  going to be like the blueprint. I want to kind of create a blueprint
• 57:43
  that you know, other folks in young you know, the next generation can
• 57:46
  take and make their own, uh cartoon minus n Kevin Murphy of KTS Entertainment
• 57:54
  and Blur Station literally just said Series of the Nine was literally written with Samura
• 58:00
  Water in mind as the lead. So did you get her? So here's
• 58:07
  here's our here's our police Samurai SHANEA. West. If you're out there listening,
• 58:13
  we would like you. We were cheering you all and the woman king
• 58:15
  we were mad that happened to you. I was cheering you all. I
• 58:20
  could spot you in the black Widow. I could spot you, yo.
• 58:25
  I followed her for years. I love what she does. She's a dangerous
• 58:30
  piece of work. So if you if people out there, if you're a
• 58:36
  fan of Buffy, if you're a fan of any female Xena, any female
• 58:40
  that can kicks ass, go follow the samuraiter and tell her to come over
• 58:46
  the blurred station, come talk to us across the pond. If you will
• 58:53
  trust me, it will have fun. And I'll come out of retirement and
• 59:00
  write something for her. There you go. I'll put interfaces, or I'll
• 59:06
  write her into an episode to interface. We got tons of characters, whatever
• 59:09
  the deal is. You know, I tosted her many times on my TikTok,
• 59:16
  like, oh man, it's the latest Summer Rider clip. So big
• 59:22
  fan, she never sees it. Still amazing, Yeah, just like I'm
• 59:28
  like self taught and then you self taught and then you go off the train
• 59:31
  and it's just like, hm, hmmm, amazing story. A story the
• 59:36
  systems got. So yeah. I love to love to have her habit,
• 59:38
  sit down with her and love to see her somewhere on blood Station, in
• 59:42
  an action film, somewhere as a lead. Like we need that. We
• 59:46
  were ribbed of Kendra Man And if you're a fan, you already know who
• 59:52
  it is. We got her two episodes and that was it. So we
• 59:59
  we need we need to make up for that. You know, we need
• 1:00:00
  makeup for that. It was not far it, but we need we need
• 1:00:04
  something to make up for that. Uh, we'll be taking a break.

• 1:06:43
  love Keith Lee brightens my day, no matter what kind of day I could,
• 1:06:47
  I'm aving I could watch Keith Lee video and I feel better about Like
• 1:06:54
  there's at least one good soul in on this planet that you know that's consistently
• 1:06:59
  doing right that ain't got some weird sex tape in the back room. Well
• 1:07:02
  I don't know, but whatever was running this out, run this out.
• 1:07:10
  He's a good man, Savannah. It's literally Georgia, he's a good man.
• 1:07:17
  The situation, even if that tape did emerge, I will elect not
• 1:07:23
  to believe it. So yeah, I don't care if they got all the
• 1:07:27
  evidence in the world. Say, you know what, I don't think I'm
• 1:07:30
  gonna believe this. I'm going to keep my vision of Keith Lee, the
• 1:07:35
  one that I have in my head and to help with facts, darns.
• 1:07:43
  So uh. This is the last day of October. Halloween is the holidays
• 1:07:46
  ending today, And as you know if you follow the show, if you
• 1:07:49
  watch the Live Guarden, we've been covering different aspects of horror from a black
• 1:07:55
  person's perspective. Right, I think we did a pretty good job mm hmm
• 1:08:00
  of the day. As for black influences and horror, not the final girls,
• 1:08:03
  not the final guys, and not the directors, but all of them,
• 1:08:06
  right, talking about some of the unknowns and some of the knowns.
• 1:08:10
  So I have several lists of and some of them and most of them are
• 1:08:15
  these are all black directors, by the way. Uh some of them said,
• 1:08:18
  can you tell me, lady, We'll start with you. We'll real
• 1:08:20
  quick right about because I know you'd agree of horror, So of course stage
• 1:08:25
  at this point, m can you give me a movie by a known black
• 1:08:29
  director that you would suggest for somebody. I mean, look, I'm gonna
• 1:08:33
  go easy and just said you're in Kel Jordan Peel, get out hope us
• 1:08:42
  because I just I love us so much like I actually that's one of the
• 1:08:46
  reasons why I actually opened up, because somewhere I was going to and I'm
• 1:08:49
  still going to do it. It's gonna be late. It is what it
• 1:08:53
  is. I have the red outfit everything, and I want to costa.
• 1:08:57
  I love us, You're the Tether's No. I also went to an HBCU,
• 1:09:04
  so I'm actually wanted to do before and after okay and be like the
• 1:09:10
  and be like the husband, have like my my college shirt on, and
• 1:09:13
  then after even though again this is the kid, but still like I just
• 1:09:19
  I really, really, for some reason, really love that movie. Mm
• 1:09:26
  hmm, Black Black Spidan, what about you. I was trying to think
• 1:09:30
  of one. I was gonna go a classic one just because I was trying
• 1:09:34
  to think of the first introductions of black directors with horror movies. Tales from
• 1:09:40
  the Hood comes up, but I forgot who directed that. Tales from the
• 1:09:43
  Hood, Yes, thank you? Who we've seen in Sprung mm hmmm.
• 1:09:48
  Actually so yeah, he's he's an actor and slash director. Yes, that's
• 1:09:54
  another one. I'm trying to think of another one me a cirker. Well,
• 1:10:00
  I guess, I guess we could go with this one. It's it's
• 1:10:01
  more black exploitation, but still if you if you see it on, you're
• 1:10:05
  gonna watch it Blackla. I was gonna say, if you get it,
• 1:10:09
  if you get the thousand dollars prize. I don't know where the thousand dollars
• 1:10:11
  is coming from, because it ain't coming from me. We ain't got that
• 1:10:15
  kind of budget. But yeah, Black Black Lis is on that list.
• 1:10:21
  Lady mandor what you got the black and hey, I'm gonna go with that
• 1:10:29
  one. Yeah, mostly because I don't I really and truly Anomachine made a
• 1:10:33
  little bit. I don't know other black Horne Russ right now outside of somebody
• 1:10:36
  still in Jordan Piel for me because I was easy. I'm just saying I
• 1:10:44
  have one. And and despite whatever she's embroiled in, this is still considered
• 1:10:49
  I still considered this a good watch. Tell from the darks or Teal from
• 1:10:54
  the Crib, Demon Night, and this was actually a really good film.
• 1:11:02
  It's a good horror film. Yeah, and I wasn't even mad at her
• 1:11:10
  role. It's this is before all the BS and blah blah blah, you
• 1:11:14
  know, before we were ended up in that group chat. It was before
• 1:11:17
  all of that. So I tell you, Demon Night is actually just one
• 1:11:23
  of those movies. You're just like, I wish we had gotten some kind
• 1:11:27
  of continuance. Yeah, I want to see where she goes when she gets
• 1:11:30
  on that bus. I want to fight a different monster too. Yeah.
• 1:11:34
  It was I'm like, I'm like y'all had it like locked in, that
• 1:11:39
  would have been a perfect time to strike. So, uh, that's a
• 1:11:43
  good one. Get Out is always is me and me and Ben were talking
• 1:11:48
  about get Out before the show. And when I say, me and my
• 1:11:51
  wife watched that movie like gripping near the end after going through all that damage
• 1:12:00
  mm hm, and then to see the police lights coming up and we're just
• 1:12:02
  like, dear God, not this ultimately horror. All collective we knew exactly
• 1:12:11
  what the was gonna happen. Was just so like, oh my God,
• 1:12:15
  ready ready to cuss out the world. Yeah. Verb mention is one which
• 1:12:18
  is on my list. Candy In actually a good one too. That's a
• 1:12:25
  good one himself. The girl who did Megan as well, Yes, yes,
• 1:12:31
  yes, uh thank you kill something. Yeah, I'm about to say
• 1:12:39
  mm hmm. That's that. That's just some of the first purge mm hm,
• 1:12:44
  first purchase. Another one by the girl with all the gifts exactly.
• 1:12:51
  That's that's Those are always fun because it's not just the directors, but it's
• 1:12:57
  what goes on and you you can tell, right, you can you can
• 1:13:02
  really tell when it's our story. Yeah, yeah, because you feel it.
• 1:13:10
  It's something different, like if somebody said sit down and watch it out,
• 1:13:15
  no shade, but you couldn't tell me A napkin world that you just
• 1:13:20
  couldn't not with that level of intensity and that level of fear. I think
• 1:13:30
  in terms of like horrifying you know, creatures that you can cause play ass,
• 1:13:33
  you know. I think if you just like get a like a blonde
• 1:13:38
  white girl mask and put that on and stuff, you know, and then
• 1:13:43
  just start running up the black dudes and stuff, man, I'll be like
• 1:13:47
  ready when when when Megan busts out the dance moves everybody like we were just
• 1:13:54
  like I love this? Who wrote this? Because it's it's a little too
• 1:14:01
  much says in that little too much going on? You know that there's one
• 1:14:12
  movie and I don't know if you could consider it a black hole movie,
• 1:14:17
  but it had a character that I would love to see more of, and
• 1:14:21
  that's Doctor sleep If you saw Doctor Sleepy and there's a little girl that was
• 1:14:30
  like the demon, yeah, like at the end of that movie, I
• 1:14:36
  want to see the next episode. I want to see her out there fighting
• 1:14:42
  more, you know, phantoms and demons, like like a young black female
• 1:14:49
  van helsing. Yeah, you know, I think I loved her character.
• 1:14:56
  Okay. The reason why, honestly that I got a bad rap because I
• 1:15:00
  thought it was a decent movie. I thought it was up to the original
• 1:15:06
  movie, and they're just not right. They're not used to just seeing us
• 1:15:14
  for real because she did a break job. Yeah, she was bad.
• 1:15:18
  At she was bad. I love that character and I want to see more
• 1:15:24
  of that. But but uh, you know, Black Spartan just picked my
• 1:15:30
  two favorite horror movies. He beat me to the jump with them Black Tails
• 1:15:35
  from the Hoods, so I gotta take it. Uh one one step from
• 1:15:41
  black and that scream blacular scream. Not as good as Blackular, mind you,
• 1:15:47
  but it had one of my best, my favorite horror scenes or vampire
• 1:15:54
  scenes if you will. It's when runs into two pimps who say they're gonna
• 1:16:01
  kick his ass. They're like, give me the bread man, but we're
• 1:16:04
  gonna kick your ass. And then of course William Marshall with that distinguished voices
• 1:16:10
  like don't have any bread and as far as my ass is concerned, I
• 1:16:16
  would highly recommend you didn't for extent. And I was like, man,
• 1:16:23
  me, what boys to say that all the time? Man? But the
• 1:16:28
  wa that same scene was redone in Van Parton Brooklet very same slightly tweets the
• 1:16:35
  same thing, Yes, was it? But but yeah, Eddie couldn't pull
• 1:16:41
  off that freaking voice. Man. I love that periodically. I just go
• 1:16:45
  to YouTube just to pull that scene up and watch it. But yeah,
• 1:16:53
  I'm surprised that No, the way that we cover horror movies, I'm surprised
• 1:16:59
  no one else at least our camp. We don't skip. We we're gonna
• 1:17:01
  find it, We're gonna dig. But other other other other shows, how
• 1:17:08
  they do one out of ten Dennists like we're the ones, We're the ones,
• 1:17:15
  We're the one that we're the one to find them, like Bones has
• 1:17:17
  never been mentioned. Who No, I've never seen anybody mentioned Bones. And
• 1:17:26
  that's why Ernest Dickerson too with with with the age and I watched that movie.
• 1:17:34
  I'm the only reason I watched that movie. Okay, I have forever.
• 1:17:45
  I got another old school I don't even know if you could call it
• 1:17:47
  a horror movie, but this was uh way back in the day. There's
• 1:17:54
  a movie called j D's Revenge. Either Glenn Turman plays this mild mannered cab
• 1:18:02
  driver, the Colonel by the spirit of a gangster who wants his inge and
• 1:18:12
  freaking hilarious one. And Glenn Turman should have got an oscar for his performance.
• 1:18:20
  Looked at up j D's Revenge. I I remember him seeing the scene
• 1:18:26
  he was going off on the gun and I'm like, that's the colonel,
• 1:18:31
  yeah, Iron himself himself. No, this one is this one which I
• 1:18:42
  actually enjoyed because one this actress, she's been in the game for for I
• 1:18:48
  don't know how long, all her life, and every time she's on screen
• 1:18:53
  she does it disappoint I'm talking about Journey small at I love Eve's value more.
• 1:19:00
  It's more of a spiritual horror but so good. And I'm like,
• 1:19:08
  she's just she's just a kid in this one, Like and you see her
• 1:19:11
  now, I'm like, yeah, you don't stay in again. Was long
• 1:19:14
  and you're not. You're pretty much seasoned at this point, you know.
• 1:19:18
  And one and one of the few child actresses who didn't fall to the wayside
• 1:19:24
  or wasn't engulfed in some kind of drama. Right, she definitely should have
• 1:19:30
  helped her brother. Girl. I was juicy. I was about to say
• 1:19:38
  the same, just because you raised in the same household, don't mean you
• 1:19:43
  all at the same Yeah, But that one by Casey Clay's Casey Lemons,
• 1:19:49
  Actually that's Casey Lemons. That was her actually her directorial debut. That was
• 1:19:57
  six. Yeah. Look in Sigonobe is agree with me. He was like,
• 1:20:02
  yeah, you're just about that. It's about that. Oh yeah,
• 1:20:09
  so yeah even yep, Non Fix said, yep. They were victorial debut.
• 1:20:13
  She's good. It was a good you know, it's man, it
• 1:20:17
  touches on a lot of points. It really touched on the body, touched
• 1:20:21
  on a lot of points. And then you know, you're down in New
• 1:20:25
  Orleans and it's touching on all these different aspects, which New Orleans is ours.
• 1:20:31
  It's ours because, like I said, the other folks they have like
• 1:20:34
  Massachusetts and up up the East Way, like Maryland area, Vermont. The
• 1:20:45
  just have another one. And he wasn't my favorite. But I was gonna
• 1:20:47
  ask you about this one, lady. You remember Spike Lee's The Sweet Blood
• 1:20:53
  of Jesus. I'll be honest, now, Okay, I didn't like it,
• 1:20:57
  but it was it's the one that should be mentioned because Spike Lee is
• 1:21:00
  a good director. But I didn't. I didn't like it because it was
• 1:21:03
  a it's a remake of Ganja and Hess. It's a it's a remaking,
• 1:21:08
  but I prefer the original. But some people didn't like him it's it was
• 1:21:12
  kind of spikes kind of dive into horror, you know, and you could
• 1:21:16
  tell that he's not really comfortable with that genre. That's fine, which is
• 1:21:20
  fine. It's commendable that he dived into that, you know, but it
• 1:21:26
  is it's a remaking godcha hess, that's something that's something else that was on
• 1:21:29
  the list. So, uh, this is one that I know my wife
• 1:21:33
  watched. I never got a chance of seeing in this entirety, but it's
• 1:21:35
  black box mm hmmm. And it started policiot. You know you're gonna go
• 1:21:45
  to Baltimore and have big fun, you know that. Yeah, you see
• 1:21:48
  you see Claire hucks for way different than that movie. I still say,
• 1:21:53
  Vanessa really, I still say she pissed her off behind the scenes Temples Blood
• 1:21:57
  so did something like the call of back the Mama that ain't came from place.
• 1:22:02
  She's seen some things. She's seen something you wanted told to go to
• 1:22:06
  bed that way in the face and didn't touch. Oh ship, I still
• 1:22:15
  laugh. I want my punishment now, the whole hand of God like new
• 1:22:21
  It's like death was coming. This was not, this is not in the
• 1:22:27
  book, just the same time for you to come right now, Oh man,
• 1:22:30
  But yeah, that quite an. Did anybody see your old movie called
• 1:22:36
  Abby Abby? It was the black version of the Exorcist. This was back
• 1:22:43
  in the day when black exploitation movies basically did the black version all popular.
• 1:22:50
  I might have it's a what's it a was it a was it late eddies
• 1:22:57
  movie? Uh? No, it might have been. Yeah, it might
• 1:23:00
  have been an early early The mid said, who was black flotation in sixty
• 1:23:06
  seventies? So yeah, more in the seventies probably, yeah, more than
• 1:23:13
  like mid mid seventies. Uh yeah, around the mid to late seventies.
• 1:23:18
  Now fix, Yeah, I remember that actually being kind of creepy and so
• 1:23:26
  I was young and uh you know, and he did and I love black
• 1:23:31
  blackular scream, blacular scream. There was another one called Black and sty Black
• 1:23:38
  and Style was ridiculous because basically they just took a brother and uh, you
• 1:23:44
  know, put some bolts on his neck and gave my afro. But you
• 1:23:46
  know, so it was basically irregular looking Frankenstein, only he was black and
• 1:23:50
  bolts in the afro. I do remember this because that was a messive wig.
• 1:23:57
  Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, black. It was a messed up
• 1:24:00
  wig. Old boy had he was supposed to be the he's supposed to be
• 1:24:04
  a trickster and trickster. It's kind of like a black loaf, I remember
• 1:24:08
  this. Yeah, so there were but during that period they came up with
• 1:24:15
  this movie called Abby, which was a take off you know, on it
• 1:24:18
  was the black version of the Exorcist, and I remember it being pretty popular
• 1:24:25
  for a while. And uh and I you know, I vaguely remember,
• 1:24:30
  but I also kind of remember it actually being kind of scary and kind of
• 1:24:34
  creepy. And myself, I'm not a big I don't you know, get
• 1:24:41
  scared by horror movies that much. I'm just I don't know why it is.
• 1:24:45
  And it takes a lot to actually frighten me. Uh you know in
• 1:24:53
  the movies. I guess I've seen enough real life scary ship so you know,
• 1:25:00
  kind of laugh at them. So are you more of a are you
• 1:25:04
  more a visual horror than actual an actual uh cerebral horror, cerebral or psychological
• 1:25:15
  horror. It is the stuff that kind of like you know, gets uh
• 1:25:20
  gets to be stuffed, that sets camp in my brain and you know,
• 1:25:25
  makes me think about stuff, you know, like or like you know,
• 1:25:29
  I'll find like serial killer movies. Uh more scary than uh Psychologue than supernatural
• 1:25:36
  horror movies, because you know, now we're talking about something that actually really
• 1:25:42
  could get you, something that you like, you know, like uh Silence
• 1:25:47
  of the Lambs and the Silence of the Lot actually where I was a production
• 1:25:51
  I thought he was on that something like that. Yeah. Yeah, I
• 1:25:55
  was a production system on that, you know, and uh and seven and
• 1:26:01
  you know, just you know, things like that. But you know,
• 1:26:04
  it kind of you know, like monsters and vampires and stuff. It's kind
• 1:26:11
  of they're fun. I enjoy them, but they don't disturb me that much.
• 1:26:15
  The Omen I Forget The Omen was another movie. It kind of creeped
• 1:26:20
  me out. Oh yeah, that was one that had me, you know,
• 1:26:25
  and I was scared of Rock Wilders after that movie. I think after
• 1:26:30
  that movie, a lot of people rock Willer. They were just like,
• 1:26:32
  I kind of want to rot wire for that movie. Between that and maf
• 1:26:38
  you want to rock Water St. Bernard so bad. So there's one and
• 1:26:45
  me like me and Ben spoke about this one before the show. And this
• 1:26:49
  was at the height of the Different World, when Different World was on air
• 1:26:53
  and it was hot, and this is how they marketed this film because Kadeem
• 1:26:57
  Hardison was one of the characters in this Fumi was deaf by temptation. Yo.
• 1:27:03
  This was nineteen ninety and it was bys James Bond, James Bond,
• 1:27:11
  and this was about a Bible you know, a Bible kid from the Midwest
• 1:27:16
  who moved out to New York and basically there was a sucubits who was coming
• 1:27:23
  for him, coming for his soul. It became this thing that it was
• 1:27:27
  the spiritual against the demon type, you know force. And yeah, that
• 1:27:32
  movie was targeted. I think I've seen it on either the Movie Channel or
• 1:27:36
  Showtime and all because kadem Hardison was in it. Because I was like,
• 1:27:40
  you know, who wasn't watching if you were around the time around that time,
• 1:27:43
  who wasn't watching Different World? And that was the last thing, Okay,
• 1:27:47
  So to see something like that and it was like and it actually had
• 1:27:50
  a lot of people in it. Then Sam Jackson was in this movie,
• 1:27:55
  Sam Jackson, Benning just about everything. Can we just say that that movie
• 1:28:01
  had some killed shots in that like the TV Old Boy getting Old Boy getting
• 1:28:06
  eaten through TV. That was messed up. That was wild. Here's when
• 1:28:15
  and I know we've seen it we've been on social media long enough because we
• 1:28:19
  keep seeing we'll see a meme of this one, the black double doll from
• 1:28:23
  Hell, the black Billbil doll. Are you talking about are you talking about
• 1:28:30
  the trilogy and Terror or it's something else, But it's probably that because it
• 1:28:39
  was very it was very amateur shot. You could tell. You can tell
• 1:28:42
  this very nineteen. It was like eighty four. Because I was one side
• 1:28:48
  anything doll related, I probably wouldn't watch it just because I have a fear
• 1:28:51
  of dolls, so I probably skipped that one. Six degrees. Yeah,
• 1:28:58
  my mother had a doll collection. She had this big, huge doll collection.
• 1:29:02
  Things she used to creep me the fuck out. Man. Dolls don't
• 1:29:09
  get along like dolls alone. Just why do you keep things great? Absolutely
• 1:29:15
  not? Absolutely not. No. Look, we got my little one,
• 1:29:19
  the monster or hard or whatever, get out of here. My wife has
• 1:29:30
  My wife has a doll right now, and I check every day. It's
• 1:29:33
  like, if that thing moves, you make one move swhere, your God
• 1:29:40
  will roast you on fire. You know, before I really thought you said
• 1:29:45
  dog and you're talking about yeah, l because you then she said no,
• 1:29:58
  and I'm like, no dogs, No dog is fine it's the doll in
• 1:30:02
  the closet I can't stand. So there's there's and we mentioned that we mentioned
• 1:30:11
