Speaker 1: The Large nerdron Collider podcast is a production of I
0:10
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hey everybody, welcome to The Large Nerdrun Collider,
0:23
Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
0:26
Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
0:28
Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel casting and with me as always
0:32
Speaker 1: is the Dulcet Lee toned Jonathan Strickland. Why thank you, Ariel.
0:37
Speaker 1: This question is going out to you. Okay, Ariel, here's
0:47
Speaker 1: your question. What is a celebrity encounter you've had that
0:52
Speaker 1: you think back on fondly. Oh, at the same time,
0:59
Speaker 1: I've had a lot, and not many because I used
1:01
Speaker 1: to work backstage at dragon Con and do some security stuff.
1:06
Speaker 1: Um m hmm, I'll say, and all that counts. All
1:13
Speaker 1: that counts. So if you want to if you want
1:16
Speaker 1: to know, I just don't know if I can talk
1:17
Speaker 1: about it all, Well, you don't have to go into
1:20
Speaker 1: like so I had this, you know, disencounter with Bruce
1:25
Speaker 1: Campbell and I carried all of his weed for him.
1:28
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. Yeah, No, One, I haven't and
1:33
Speaker 1: two I wouldn't say that. I will say, like any
1:37
Speaker 1: any celebrity encounter I've had where they've just been incredibly nice.
1:41
Speaker 1: And the two that immediately popped to mind when I
1:43
Speaker 1: think of that, And I know you asked me for one,
1:45
Speaker 1: but it's I'm the Queen of indecision, and it would
1:48
Speaker 1: be Alice Cooper or Stanley because they just yeah, they
1:53
Speaker 1: both just treated Now. I mean this is from a
1:57
Speaker 1: brief encounter. You know, I didn't have a lot of
2:00
Speaker 1: one on one time with them, but just from my observation, uh,
2:05
Speaker 1: in that ballroom, they treated everyone with just such kindness
2:08
Speaker 1: in respect. It didn't matter who you were that it
2:10
Speaker 1: just it really left a positive impression on me. I
2:14
Speaker 1: like it. So Alice Cooper didn't just look at you
2:16
Speaker 1: and say welcome to my nightmare. No, he was super nice.
2:20
Speaker 1: He said hi. Not every uh celebrity that I got
2:23
Speaker 1: to work with, you know, necessarily said hi because you're
2:26
Speaker 1: in a convention setting you need time to like unwind
2:29
Speaker 1: and things like that. But yeah, he was. He was
2:31
Speaker 1: just very He was very kind to me. I can't
2:34
Speaker 1: say that he's kind to everybody, but he was very
2:36
Speaker 1: kind to me. What about you? Oh, okay, So my
2:39
Speaker 1: favorite story to tell I've I've had several I've been
2:42
Speaker 1: fortunate to have several celebrity encounters, and almost all of
2:45
Speaker 1: them have been positive. There's been very few where I
2:50
Speaker 1: didn't like the experience. But one that was purely by
2:54
Speaker 1: happenstance was that I was going through the Atlanta airport.
2:58
Speaker 1: This was pre uh September eleven, the two tho one,
3:02
Speaker 1: so it was back when you didn't have to have
3:04
Speaker 1: a ticket in order to go through security. And the
3:06
Speaker 1: reason why I was going was to meet uh well,
3:10
Speaker 1: the woman who would become my partner, but we were
3:13
Speaker 1: dating at the time, and she was flying into Atlanta,
3:16
Speaker 1: so I was on my way to meet her and
3:18
Speaker 1: I see this guy duck into the Disney store and
3:21
Speaker 1: I when I saw him, I thought, I think I
3:23
Speaker 1: recognized this guy. I think that's Ernie Sabella. And Ernie Sabella,
3:29
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, was in Disney terms, he
3:32
Speaker 1: was the voice of Pumba. But he also was like
3:35
Speaker 1: the naked guy on the Subway in Seinfeld, and he
3:40
Speaker 1: played lots of different roles on Broadway, and so I
3:44
Speaker 1: was familiar with his work, so thinking that he's Ernie Sabella,
3:48
Speaker 1: but not sure. I also go into the Disney store
3:51
Speaker 1: like a stalker, and he picks up a pumba doll
3:55
Speaker 1: and turns to a kid next to him goes Hakuna
3:58
Speaker 1: mata and without without without any hesitation, I went, what
4:03
Speaker 1: a wonderful phrase. And he turns around and he's like
4:06
Speaker 1: I thought for a minute that Nathan was here, and
4:09
Speaker 1: we chatted, and we actually chatted from there too. He
4:12
Speaker 1: was late to his uh to his gate, so he
4:16
Speaker 1: had me walk with him and we chatted about Broadway.
4:18
Speaker 1: He talked about he was in a funny thing happened
4:20
Speaker 1: on the way of the forum at the time. He said,
4:22
Speaker 1: if you're ever in New York, let me know. I'll
4:24
Speaker 1: get you a ticket. Just a super nice guy, and
4:27
Speaker 1: we just chatted about acting. It was fun um and
4:30
Speaker 1: a weird, little brief encounter that that sounds delightful. I
4:35
Speaker 1: never encounter celebrities in the wild um, I don't think,
4:41
Speaker 1: And even if I did, I don't know if I
4:43
Speaker 1: would go up and talk to them. But I think
4:46
Speaker 1: I think, I just I probably we live in Atlanta.
4:48
Speaker 1: I've probably seen some sort of celebrity on the street
4:51
Speaker 1: somewhere and just not realized where where the wild stories
4:55
Speaker 1: Where are offices over on in Pont City Market that
4:59
Speaker 1: tends to be a place where various studios will put
5:02
Speaker 1: celebrities up when they're in town shooting. So like when
5:06
Speaker 1: Nona Ryder was staying there, never saw her. Um, there
5:10
Speaker 1: were a whole bunch of different celebrities I heard about,
5:12
Speaker 1: but never I saw Hugh Jackman in my office, like
5:16
Speaker 1: in the gym that's connected to that building. Did not
5:20
Speaker 1: say hi to him. He was working out. You just
5:22
Speaker 1: don't do that right to anyone in the gym. And
5:25
Speaker 1: let's ask you a question. You'll leave him alone. And um,
5:28
Speaker 1: And the one that I was sad got away was Um,
5:32
Speaker 1: I think it was Mandy Moore. She was shopping and
5:35
Speaker 1: I was like, it would have been fun to sing
5:37
Speaker 1: with her, Not that she would have. I mean, come on,
5:40
Speaker 1: but you know me never never turned up an opportunity
5:45
Speaker 1: to sing. Well, don't be sad anymore, Jonathan, because we
5:48
Speaker 1: have some really good news. And the really good news
5:51
Speaker 1: is that the Ewok movies and TV show, and part
5:56
Speaker 1: of the Star Wars Holiday special and Gen D. Tardakovsky's
5:59
Speaker 1: Star Wars Clone Wars are all coming to Disney Plus.
6:03
Speaker 1: So the best parts of the Star Wars franchise will
6:06
Speaker 1: soon be available for streaming. You are killing me because
6:11
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember when the Ewok movies came out.
6:14
Speaker 1: The first one was cute, the second one ends start.
6:17
Speaker 1: The second one begins with a huge bummer. It doesn't
6:21
Speaker 1: get better from there. Um, this is spoiler alert. If
6:24
Speaker 1: you've not seen the e walk movies, I guess soon
6:27
Speaker 1: you'll get to scratch that itch. The and the fact
6:30
Speaker 1: that you even say Star Wars Holiday Special and use
6:34
Speaker 1: best in the same general thought. Also, we have to
6:38
Speaker 1: point out that the part of the Star Wars Holiday
6:40
Speaker 1: Special that is going to be on there is the
6:42
Speaker 1: animated short that was part of the Star Wars Holiday Special.
6:46
Speaker 1: You will not get to see b Arthur Singh where
6:48
Speaker 1: Harvey Corman have a glitch, glitching freak out, or um,
6:53
Speaker 1: all the other really questionable stuff that happened in that special.
6:58
Speaker 1: If you've never seen the Star Wars Holiday Special, I
7:01
Speaker 1: don't recommend you seek it out. But it is an experience.
7:06
Speaker 1: It is an experience, and I was I was kind
7:08
Speaker 1: of trolling you. So I genuinely do like the e
7:10
Speaker 1: Walks movie because I was a small, curly headed blonde
7:14
Speaker 1: girl when I was watching it and it features one
7:19
Speaker 1: and you know, and now I'm a redhead. But I
7:22
Speaker 1: also do very much like the Clone Wars cartoon that
7:26
Speaker 1: they're adding. I adore it um and it's the Star
7:32
Speaker 1: Wars Holiday special. Is an experience, and I appreciated that
7:36
Speaker 1: experience when I had it so kind of trolling you,
7:40
Speaker 1: you know, but only a little. Well, it's okay, You're
7:43
Speaker 1: not the only one trolling me. Funny thing when we
7:46
Speaker 1: were making up the show notes, I was typing it
7:49
Speaker 1: in as Ariel was writing to me. The thing I
7:52
Speaker 1: typed in our show notes was full trailer for the
7:55
Speaker 1: Irregulars makes Jonathan mad Ariel sent me a message saying
7:59
Speaker 1: there's a new a Regulars trailer. You are not going
8:02
Speaker 1: to like it. So Ariel Ariel has her finger on
8:05
Speaker 1: the pulse of what Jonathan doesn't like. Yes, and I'll say,
8:12
Speaker 1: if this trailer, knowing that you are upset about it
8:15
Speaker 1: because there shouldn't be supernatural stuff in Sherlock Holmes, this trailer,
8:22
Speaker 1: if it were not Sherlock Holmes, looks really interesting to me. Yeah,
8:26
Speaker 1: if if it weren't a Sherlock. Now, granted, I get it,
8:28
Speaker 1: this is an alternative take on Sherlock Holmes. And I
8:32
Speaker 1: guess to me, it's just one of those things where
8:33
Speaker 1: I get really person ketty about you can only get
8:37
Speaker 1: so far away from whatever the material is you are
8:42
Speaker 1: referencing before I feel like there's not enough connective tissue
8:45
Speaker 1: there to make the reference worthwhile. So in this case,
8:49
Speaker 1: they're trading on the cultural knowledge of Sherlock Holmes. And
8:55
Speaker 1: of course the Regulars in the Sherlock Holmes stories are
8:58
Speaker 1: a network of various vagrants and street urchins who gather
9:03
Speaker 1: information on behalf of Sherlock Holmes. In the series, they
9:08
Speaker 1: appeared to be working for John Watson. Holmes himself appears
9:11
Speaker 1: to be a little out of it, let's say, based
9:15
Speaker 1: on them. He doesn't show up, no, not and not
9:17
Speaker 1: in the trailer, it's certainly so um yeah. But the
9:21
Speaker 1: supernatural stuff, I mean that is just antithetical to Sherlock Holmes.
9:25
Speaker 1: And in the Homes stories, a few times where it
9:28
Speaker 1: appeared there were supernatural elements, it always turned out that
9:31
Speaker 1: these were uh, completely natural things that Holmes figures out
9:36
Speaker 1: you know what caused it. So it does irritate me
9:39
Speaker 1: a bit, even though like one of my favorite stories,
9:43
Speaker 1: there was a book called Ano Dracula that had lots
9:47
Speaker 1: of fictional and historical characters all mixed up together in
9:50
Speaker 1: a vampire story, and Sherlock Holmes was in that, and
9:54
Speaker 1: I was, I was okay with that. So maybe I
9:57
Speaker 1: should just get off my high horse and try and
10:00
Speaker 1: watch the show and judge it based on its own
10:03
Speaker 1: merits rather than the fact that I'm I'm upset that
10:06
Speaker 1: there are supernatural elements in a Sherlock Holmes related story.
10:10
Speaker 1: Give it two episodes. Maybe they'll explain it in a
10:12
Speaker 1: way that you appreciate. In the meantime, it's really a
10:18
Speaker 1: part of the m c U. I mean, could be,
10:22
Speaker 1: could be. Uh, well, it's not the right Sherlock Holmes
10:26
Speaker 1: for that. Anyhow, If you want to keep with something nostalgically,
10:31
Speaker 1: then you should just get in mind to play Teenage
10:34
Speaker 1: Mutan Ninja Turtle Shredder's Revenge. Yeah. It's a it's an
10:38
Speaker 1: upcoming video game, and it's very much in the style
10:43
Speaker 1: of the old side scrolling beat him up Teenage Mutant
10:45
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles game. And I mean it's giving me that
10:50
Speaker 1: nostalgic feeling of being in the arcade and just feeding
10:54
Speaker 1: token after token into a t M n T machine. Yeah. Yeah,
11:00
Speaker 1: now I've definitely lost some some money's doing that, thankfully.
11:05
Speaker 1: Now I have the one up teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
11:09
Speaker 1: Arcade console. Uh so I kind of hope that they
11:12
Speaker 1: let me load this into it as a third game eventually,
11:16
Speaker 1: because I got to catch them all. Yeah yeah, And
11:18
Speaker 1: I mean, like, this is one of those things that
11:20
Speaker 1: really does hearken back to an an older style of
11:25
Speaker 1: video game. I'm sure there will be plenty of people
11:27
Speaker 1: who will embrace it because they have that same sort
11:30
Speaker 1: of nostalgic itch. I am curious if it will catch
11:33
Speaker 1: on with younger players who maybe haven't had experience with
11:37
Speaker 1: those style of games very much. Possibly. I was going
11:41
Speaker 1: to say, the same team did the Scott Pilgrim Versus
11:44
Speaker 1: the World the game game, which was quite a lot
11:47
Speaker 1: of fun. But then I also have to remember that
11:49
Speaker 1: was quite a few years ago, now, No, yeah, yeah,
11:51
Speaker 1: that was a long time ago. Okay, Well, We've got
11:54
Speaker 1: a couple of other stories we want to hit in
11:56
Speaker 1: this section, and one of them is that there is
11:58
Speaker 1: a full new trailer for Cruela, the film about Cruella
12:03
Speaker 1: de Ville, the villain from One Dalmatians. Um, what did
12:09
Speaker 1: you think of the trailer? Ariel? Stylistically, I liked it.
12:16
Speaker 1: I like, just just from a visual standpoint, I like,
12:22
Speaker 1: I like that seventies punk aesthetic. UM, and I love
12:27
Speaker 1: I used to want to be a fashion designer back
12:29
Speaker 1: in the day. But I've never really felt a great
12:32
Speaker 1: kinship for Coruella de Ville. I I don't didn't really
12:39
Speaker 1: see the need for her to have her own movie.
12:42
Speaker 1: Though watching it, I'll say like I'm a Stone physically
12:46
Speaker 1: embodies the character perfectly to me, just the sort of
12:50
Speaker 1: mad cap cartoonish version of her, especially when they show
12:53
Speaker 1: her in the trailer driving a car. It's like I'm
12:54
Speaker 1: watching the Celts out of the animated cartoon. Um. You know,
13:00
Speaker 1: I've had friends who are worried that it's going to
13:02
Speaker 1: focus on mental illness in a in a negative way.
13:05
Speaker 1: You know, We've talked before about how at some point
13:07
Speaker 1: we need to have a conversation about able is Um.
13:09
Speaker 1: But UM, I don't know. I just I'm not feeling
13:13
Speaker 1: a very strong urge to go watch it at this point.
13:16
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be well done. I just animal movies
13:20
Speaker 1: like stress me out, and this is adjacent to an
13:23
Speaker 1: animal movie. What about you, I feel very much the
13:26
Speaker 1: same way you do. I mean, you pretty much hit
13:28
Speaker 1: the points that I did, Like I think stylistically it
13:30
Speaker 1: looks incredible, like from a cinematography, costume design, set design, lighting,
13:38
Speaker 1: all of those like technical elements, it looks phenomenal. The
13:42
Speaker 1: music that they picked for the trailers fantastic, Like it's
13:46
Speaker 1: it's really striking. But just as you said, I have
13:49
Speaker 1: very little interest in learning anything about Cruella's backstory. The
13:52
Speaker 1: only thing I needed to know is that she was
13:53
Speaker 1: a schoolmate with Anita from One Dumatians. Didn't really need
13:57
Speaker 1: to know anything more than that. Um yeah, And I
14:00
Speaker 1: was just a character that was never really curious about,
14:03
Speaker 1: largely because there's no depth to her in One One Dalmatians.
14:07
Speaker 1: She really is just you might as well just have
14:09
Speaker 1: the word villain walking around. There's not much else tour right,
14:13
Speaker 1: So um yeah, yeah, it wasn't really wasn't really something
14:17
Speaker 1: I was looking forward to. If they were to do
14:19
Speaker 1: a a kind of backstory on a villain type of movie,
14:23
Speaker 1: I'd be more interested in one about Ursula and to
14:26
Speaker 1: learn what she was like when she was ruling the
14:29
Speaker 1: seas before Triton was. Um, that would be more interesting
14:33
Speaker 1: to me. Kind of you can make that like a
14:35
Speaker 1: Shakespearean tragedy. I agree, And they could because you know,
14:39
Speaker 1: blond King is Hamlet. I will say, I do like
14:42
Speaker 1: the Easter egg that Emma Thompson was in the live
14:44
Speaker 1: action one hundred and one Dalmatians and is also in this. Um.
14:48
Speaker 1: I think that's a fun little detail. Um. And real quick,
14:52
Speaker 1: we have one last news segment before we go to break,
14:55
Speaker 1: and that is In the Heights disdrupt two new trailers
14:58
Speaker 1: and announced that they are going to theaters and HBO
15:02
Speaker 1: Max in June, and I could not be more excited
15:05
Speaker 1: about it. What about you, Jonathan same? I? Uh so.
15:10
Speaker 1: Lin Manuel Miranda is the man behind In the Heights
15:14
Speaker 1: and it was his big show before Hamilton's, right he
15:18
Speaker 1: was He was in that show while working on writing
15:23
Speaker 1: out Hamilton's, and UM, I was unfamiliar with it, except
15:27
Speaker 1: that I started listening to the I Heart Radio Broadway
15:30
Speaker 1: radio station and the songs from In the Heights sometimes
15:33
Speaker 1: come on, and I was hooked. It's just it's that
15:36
Speaker 1: same incredible uh precision of language that you here in
15:42
Speaker 1: Hamilton's that's also in In the Heights, And there's that
15:45
Speaker 1: passion of a specific love of a specific neighborhood and
15:51
Speaker 1: uh specific time, and all of that gets wrapped up
15:54
Speaker 1: into the songs that I've heard, and I've been eager
15:58
Speaker 1: to see it, but obviously I haven't had the opportunity to.
16:01
Speaker 1: So I'm hopeful that this film will be a good
16:06
Speaker 1: representation of the story musical theatrical theatrical productions in general,
16:12
Speaker 1: their transition to film doesn't always go smoothly. I'm hoping
16:15
Speaker 1: that this is an exception to that general rule. Well,
16:20
Speaker 1: I think it will be. I think because they focused
16:24
Speaker 1: on making it truly a cinematic story and not a
16:29
Speaker 1: videotapes staged production like they did with Hamilton's, which I
16:33
Speaker 1: also quite enjoyed, that it'll it'll just work out really well.
16:37
Speaker 1: Everything about it just screams wonderful to me. Um. I
16:40
Speaker 1: love the little fact that they actually filmed in Washington Heights. Yeah,
16:43
Speaker 1: and lin Manuel Miranda plays a minory character in it.
16:47
Speaker 1: In the original production, he was one of the leads,
16:50
Speaker 1: but he is not playing the lead in the film version.
16:54
Speaker 1: He has graciously stepped aside for an actor of an
16:58
Speaker 1: appropriate age to play that part. Yes, yes, Anthony Ramos.
17:02
Speaker 1: I also think that Rita Moreno is in it, which
17:04
Speaker 1: I think is also brilliant casting since she was Maria
17:09
Speaker 1: the original Maria and West Side story. We have a
17:13
Speaker 1: lot more Broadway and musical stuff we want to talk about,
17:17
Speaker 1: but let's take a quick break. Sounds good, So ariel Uh,
17:32
Speaker 1: you know, last week, I think it was last week,
17:34
Speaker 1: we talked about the fact that there were some planned
17:37
Speaker 1: pop up events on Broadway, and one of the articles
17:42
Speaker 1: that we came across while putting our show together was
17:47
Speaker 1: one about the process of reopening Broadway in general. It
17:53
Speaker 1: was from USA Today, and that article really pointed out
17:57
Speaker 1: some stuff that just didn't occur to me when we
17:59
Speaker 1: were having that discussion about the pop ups, and that
18:02
Speaker 1: was like the stuff about how even if everything were
18:06
Speaker 1: in place right now for them to open up tomorrow,
18:10
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be able to do it because no one
18:13
Speaker 1: has been able to rehearse, you know, like the there
18:17
Speaker 1: are people who are connected to shows who are not
18:20
Speaker 1: currently living in the city anymore because it was too expensive,
18:23
Speaker 1: and you know, if you're not making any money, you
18:26
Speaker 1: have to conserve what you've got, So a lot of
18:29
Speaker 1: people moved out of the city, and it really kind
18:31
Speaker 1: of illustrated that the reopening of Broadway is going to
18:36
Speaker 1: be a much more gradual process and that these pop
18:40
Speaker 1: up events are likely to be very modest compared to
18:46
Speaker 1: quote unquote Broadway production. Yeah. Possibly one man shows or
18:51
Speaker 1: cabarets or things like that. Uh. Stuff stuff that's easy
18:54
Speaker 1: to get up and mount. Um, you know. And I'm
18:57
Speaker 1: sure that there are some people who've been working on
18:59
Speaker 1: small stuff. I had a friend who had a show
19:01
Speaker 1: on off Broadway who could probably easily take it and
19:05
Speaker 1: put it into a pop up event, you know. But
19:08
Speaker 1: anything big, Yeah, I don't. I don't think they'd be
19:10
Speaker 1: able to unless they've been working on it on the
19:13
Speaker 1: download they'll be able to get it up on its
19:16
Speaker 1: feet super quick. But it does. Um. Yeah. I had
19:19
Speaker 1: never thought about the fact, despite the fact that you
19:22
Speaker 1: and I have both done theater and musical theater, that
19:26
Speaker 1: you know, even if you know a musical backward and forward,
19:29
Speaker 1: you know, you still have to practice, You still have
19:32
Speaker 1: to read choreographed, you have to do the tech, you
19:34
Speaker 1: have to make sure your costumes fit. And the article
19:37
Speaker 1: in USA Today even says, you know, even if you're
19:40
Speaker 1: a dresser or a costume designer or seamstress or a
19:44
Speaker 1: tech guy, you might have three shows that now you
19:47
Speaker 1: need to get back up on its feet altogether. So
19:49
Speaker 1: it's not just on the talent side of things where
19:52
Speaker 1: there's going to be a crunch. But it did make
19:56
Speaker 1: me happy because I know you were concerned about Broadway
19:58
Speaker 1: opening ethic reopening ethically, and it seems like, um, all
20:05
Speaker 1: the various divisions that that kind of manage the talent
20:10
Speaker 1: of Broadway have that in mind. They want to make
20:14
Speaker 1: sure that it's safe. They want to come back to
20:16
Speaker 1: Broadway in a way that is healthier and better for everybody.
20:21
Speaker 1: Uh And and that's exciting to me, Yeah, because that
20:24
Speaker 1: article not just about like healthier in the sense of
20:27
Speaker 1: everyone needs to be vaccinated, whether they are on stage
20:31
Speaker 1: or work behind the scenes or they're part of the
20:33
Speaker 1: house crew or whatever it may be. But as you
20:36
Speaker 1: point out in the interim, while everything's been down, it's
20:41
Speaker 1: it's given people time to have heavy conversations that are
20:45
Speaker 1: way overdue but typically get put aside because everyone is
20:50
Speaker 1: still in the business of actually doing the thing right.
20:54
Speaker 1: So things like inclusivity and accessibility, these issues that have
20:59
Speaker 1: been problems in theater for a very long time, and
21:03
Speaker 1: I've only gradually been and recently been addressed. A lot
21:07
Speaker 1: of those conversations kind of got kicked into overdrive during lockdown,
21:11
Speaker 1: and that means that the theater that we do see
21:15
Speaker 1: when things reopen is hopefully going to be a more
21:19
Speaker 1: diverse and rich theatrical experience than it would have been otherwise.
21:24
Speaker 1: And I find that really exciting. Um something, you know,
21:28
Speaker 1: the idea of being able to see a show that
21:31
Speaker 1: might have a cast that isn't all lily white, which
21:36
Speaker 1: you know, again has been has been changing over the years.
21:39
Speaker 1: But like for the longest time in Broadway, the vast
21:42
Speaker 1: majority of roles and the vast majority of performers were white.
21:47
Speaker 1: You hardly ever saw people of color up on stage.
21:49
Speaker 1: You often saw white people playing people of color up
21:52
Speaker 1: on stage. So yeah, yeah, you know, I am. I'm
21:56
Speaker 1: super happy about that on just a health level. And
21:59
Speaker 1: I'm not trying about COVID vaccinations. I'm talking about I've
22:02
Speaker 1: been in productions where an actor has come in sick
22:04
Speaker 1: and thrown up in the wings and then gone back
22:06
Speaker 1: up on stage, and that's like, that's just not great
22:10
Speaker 1: work ethic well on either end of the spectrum doing
22:14
Speaker 1: that anymore, well, I mean, Ariel, let's be fair. You
22:18
Speaker 1: are someone who's been injured on a show, got seen
22:23
Speaker 1: too medically and returned to the show in the same show.
22:29
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, uh, and I would do it again.
22:34
Speaker 1: But I wasn't sick in a way that could get
22:36
Speaker 1: somebody else sick. When I had my finger cut open
22:38
Speaker 1: by a sword. It was more about It was more
22:40
Speaker 1: about the the fact that we have this built in expectation,
22:44
Speaker 1: like this idea that the show must go on. The
22:46
Speaker 1: show is bigger than any person in it. Like to
22:49
Speaker 1: some extent, that can be admirable, but if you take
22:52
Speaker 1: it to the extreme, then you're really you're really taking
22:56
Speaker 1: advantage of the people who are making the show, and
22:59
Speaker 1: some one's benefiting from that, but it's not necessarily the
23:02
Speaker 1: people who are actually doing the thing. And I mean, yes,
23:06
Speaker 1: it is admirable. Your work ethic is is very strong.
23:09
Speaker 1: The fact that you got hurt, you got some I
23:12
Speaker 1: think you had staples put into your finger stitches stitches seven,
23:17
Speaker 1: so you got you got your fingers stitched up, and
23:19
Speaker 1: then came back that same day to finish out the
23:21
Speaker 1: day like that is that is that says a lot
23:25
Speaker 1: about your work ethic, But it also says a lot
23:27
Speaker 1: about the fact that we have built in this expectation
23:30
Speaker 1: that the show must go on and that that's expected
23:33
Speaker 1: of you. Um, and it shouldn't be so, I mean,
23:38
Speaker 1: part of it was my vanity. I was super happy
23:40
Speaker 1: to come back. I didn't want to give up on
23:43
Speaker 1: the rest of my day. But yeah, it is definitely
23:45
Speaker 1: an expectation that's kind of built into theater, you know.
23:48
Speaker 1: And part of it is you just have so many
23:50
Speaker 1: people relying on your little piece that you don't want
23:52
Speaker 1: to let anybody down. So he said, there's some admirable
23:55
Speaker 1: there's there's some downfall to it, but hopefully it will
23:58
Speaker 1: be a healthier workplace and I look forward to getting
24:01
Speaker 1: back and watching some musicals. I have been waiting for
24:05
Speaker 1: my Broadway trip. Yeah, me too. I think I say
24:08
Speaker 1: it every week. Yeah, like, if I don't get a
24:11
Speaker 1: chance to see Hades Town, I'm going to be sad.
24:13
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll understand, but it will make me sad
24:17
Speaker 1: because it was something I was really looking forward to
24:19
Speaker 1: as a birthday present I gave to myself, and I
24:22
Speaker 1: might never be able to collect it. My my hope
24:26
Speaker 1: is that that was doing so well and so early
24:29
Speaker 1: and it's runs still that it comes back. I know
24:31
Speaker 1: there are some that are not frozen. It's not reopening
24:34
Speaker 1: and that seems like you hear that Frozen is not reopening,
24:36
Speaker 1: and you're like, that's like a guaranteed sellout. Well, assuming
24:40
Speaker 1: that you're allowed to open up to full capacity, maybe
24:44
Speaker 1: we'll get rated to e the musical off of TikTok
24:46
Speaker 1: and onto the stage. So so that that leads me
24:50
Speaker 1: to ask you, Jonathan, what do you like in a
24:53
Speaker 1: musical and what don't you like that? That's a great question,
24:56
Speaker 1: and it's one that has changed over time. Um So,
25:00
Speaker 1: like when I was, when I was a teenager, moody teenager,
25:03
Speaker 1: big mood swings, I really liked the stuff that was
25:07
Speaker 1: popular on Broadway at the time, which were bombastic musicals,
25:11
Speaker 1: stuff like Les Miserab, Phantom of the Opera, Missigon, these
25:16
Speaker 1: really big, big spectacle musicals, huge casts, big musical numbers,
25:23
Speaker 1: super melodramatic stories. Um But as I've gotten older, I
25:28
Speaker 1: can't stand those anymore. Like I recognize the artistry that
25:33
Speaker 1: went into making them, but I find them tiresome and
25:36
Speaker 1: I find them, like I do, find them melodramatic, not
25:40
Speaker 1: just like overly melodramatic, you might say, So those I
25:45
Speaker 1: don't care for as much anymore. For me, a good
25:48
Speaker 1: musical is one where the music is very well integrated
25:52
Speaker 1: into the storyline, where the songs are telling us more
25:56
Speaker 1: about the people who are singing them, or their situation, sens,
26:00
Speaker 1: their hopes, their dreams, their fears, or pushing the plot
26:04
Speaker 1: along or both. I'm not as big a fan of
26:07
Speaker 1: musicals that just use songs to to be like a
26:12
Speaker 1: spectacle thing, right, Like, like if you think of the
26:15
Speaker 1: old classical musicals, the ones that you know really made
26:20
Speaker 1: it to like it's like a anything goes and stuff
26:24
Speaker 1: like that. Some of those, like the songs have nothing
26:27
Speaker 1: to do with the story that's going on or the
26:30
Speaker 1: characters who are singing the songs. They're just there as
26:34
Speaker 1: a song and dance number, and there's nothing wrong with that.
26:37
Speaker 1: But that doesn't really appeal to me. Um, yeah, I
26:41
Speaker 1: would prefer I'd prefer a show where the music is
26:44
Speaker 1: part of the storytelling tools that are being used to
26:50
Speaker 1: to move the audience in some way. What about you.
26:53
Speaker 1: I think I agree with you on the spectacle musical
26:56
Speaker 1: aspect of it. I think those are really great entry
26:58
Speaker 1: points for people who just need to be taken in
27:00
Speaker 1: by the wonder of a story, and then as you
27:02
Speaker 1: develop a more refined musical palette, you look for something
27:06
Speaker 1: deeper um for me. Like, I know you're not a
27:10
Speaker 1: fan of jukebox musicals, but if I love the music,
27:12
Speaker 1: if the music is nostalgic for me, I think that
27:16
Speaker 1: they can be used to drive a lot, and I
27:18
Speaker 1: think they can be a lot of fun. I'm a
27:19
Speaker 1: little bit picky. For me. The musicals I enjoy the
27:23
Speaker 1: most are the ones where one if the music for
27:27
Speaker 1: the fur there's a story. That's a must for me
27:29
Speaker 1: as well. But if the lyrics are clever, I love
27:33
Speaker 1: a turn of phrase and I love wordplay. But I
27:36
Speaker 1: also like my music to go back to a chorus
27:40
Speaker 1: or something that I can pick up on easily and
27:43
Speaker 1: sing on my own. So I yeah, I love hooks,
27:47
Speaker 1: So you know, like I love Manuel Lin, Manuel Miranda,
27:53
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about In the Heights, But that's much
27:56
Speaker 1: almost more of like a a rock opera in the
27:58
Speaker 1: way that it just has these long musical numbers that
28:02
Speaker 1: kind of go all over the place. He doesn't often
28:06
Speaker 1: bring it back around to a rhyme or a repeat
28:10
Speaker 1: or things like that, which I appreciate, but that's not
28:14
Speaker 1: the one I'm going to go home singing and humming
28:17
Speaker 1: along those lines. I like rock operas, but I'm picky
28:21
Speaker 1: about them, uh Like, I want that music to be
28:24
Speaker 1: catchy throughout. I don't want a bunch of people just
28:26
Speaker 1: singing stuff that is dissonant to me. Uh. Jesus Christ
28:31
Speaker 1: Superstar is a great example where I really enjoyed being
28:34
Speaker 1: in it, but I will never listen to that soundtrack
28:37
Speaker 1: outside of being in the show, just because there's so many,
28:39
Speaker 1: so much of the music in it just isn't enjoy it.
28:45
Speaker 1: King Herod's song and everybody dances, well, you know, I
28:49
Speaker 1: auditioned for King Herod. I got Simon the Zealot, but
28:52
Speaker 1: I auditioned for King Herod so well. I I can
28:56
Speaker 1: see where you're what you're saying, um like the hook
28:59
Speaker 1: and everything being important. I'm still not a fan of
29:02
Speaker 1: jukebox musicals. I can like numbers from them, I guess
29:06
Speaker 1: so like like Mulan Rouge the Broadway version of Mula.
29:09
Speaker 1: I don't like the movie Mulan Rouge, so I doubt
29:12
Speaker 1: that I would very much like the Broadway production of
29:14
Speaker 1: Mulan Rouge. That's more about the story and the way
29:17
Speaker 1: it's told than anything else that I'm sure the performers
29:20
Speaker 1: are fantastic. I've heard the music from Mulan Rouge. It
29:23
Speaker 1: is a little it gets a little much with all
29:25
Speaker 1: the mash ups. But I will say that while most
29:29
Speaker 1: of it didn't really do much for me, the Backstage
29:32
Speaker 1: Romance song where they take Lady Gaga's Bad Romance and
29:36
Speaker 1: they turn it into a very slow kind of tango thing. Uh,
29:40
Speaker 1: it just sounds dirty in the best way, like just
29:44
Speaker 1: just a dirty, grimy kind of like like passionate kind
29:49
Speaker 1: of song, and it's just rough and rough around the edges,
29:53
Speaker 1: and I'm like this this, I love, I love this moment,
29:57
Speaker 1: and then transitions into like an on stage number gets
30:00
Speaker 1: really big and glitzy and stuff, and then I lose interest.
30:03
Speaker 1: But it's little things like that. It's kind of like
30:05
Speaker 1: even in the original uh Bolan Rouge, the film version,
30:08
Speaker 1: the Tango of Roxanne, that one, that number, I'm like,
30:12
Speaker 1: that was one that I really liked, and then the
30:15
Speaker 1: rest of it I wasn't too um it just didn't
30:18
Speaker 1: do anything for me. So I mean, like, I like,
30:22
Speaker 1: I did like the Elephant Love song Medley in the movie.
30:26
Speaker 1: I feel like in the stage version they had too
30:28
Speaker 1: much to it. It goes on too long. And I
30:30
Speaker 1: say this as a member of a band who thrives
30:33
Speaker 1: on how many songs can we squish together? Like well,
30:37
Speaker 1: I will say that the medley, I agree it goes
30:40
Speaker 1: too long, But there are a couple of inclusions of
30:42
Speaker 1: songs in that medley that just made me smile. The
30:44
Speaker 1: fact that um they had the was it such great
30:49
Speaker 1: heights that song in there, which I never expected it
30:53
Speaker 1: ever here in the musical was It was a lot
30:55
Speaker 1: of fun. But yeah, I agree, it's um, you know
30:58
Speaker 1: it's I guess it's all a matter of taste. Obviously,
31:00
Speaker 1: there's some people who absolutely love the melodrama. You know.
31:04
Speaker 1: I know a lot of my friends are huge fans
31:07
Speaker 1: of Rent. It's a show I cannot stand. I do
31:11
Speaker 1: not like it. If you like, if you like catchy
31:16
Speaker 1: songs and wordplay, though, Ariel, I'll tell you what musical
31:19
Speaker 1: you need to listen to. It's a joke musical and
31:22
Speaker 1: it's Guttenberg the musical, and I want to I want
31:27
Speaker 1: to listen to that one. I haven't, but the soundtrack
31:29
Speaker 1: you can find the soundtrack online in different places. I
31:32
Speaker 1: recommend that one because it's it's a meta joke about
31:36
Speaker 1: musicals that the plot being that there are two would
31:40
Speaker 1: be musical producers who are pitching their show to the
31:43
Speaker 1: audience in the hopes that someone in the audience is
31:46
Speaker 1: a producer on Broadway. And it's all about Johann Guttenberg,
31:50
Speaker 1: the inventor of the printing press. And but the songs
31:53
Speaker 1: are very clever, like there are lots of internal rhymes
31:57
Speaker 1: and fun turns of phrase, and the tunes are very catchy.
32:02
Speaker 1: So it's it's funny that two characters who are so
32:05
Speaker 1: bad at what they do end up making a musical
32:09
Speaker 1: that on a technical level is incredibly good. Yeah. Oh,
32:14
Speaker 1: that reminds me. I'm usually not a fan of musicals
32:17
Speaker 1: that are remakes of movies or television shows, with the
32:19
Speaker 1: exception of possibly Beetle Juice, which I didn't get to
32:22
Speaker 1: see because of the COVID and uh, Groundhogs Day, which
32:30
Speaker 1: just the music for that is brilliant, So if you
32:32
Speaker 1: haven't listened to that, you should listen to. The music
32:34
Speaker 1: to Mean Girls is also pretty good, and I wanted
32:37
Speaker 1: to see that one too, Maybe I'm Stupid in love. Well,
32:42
Speaker 1: we have a mash up coming up in just a moment,
32:46
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be about a couple of things we
32:49
Speaker 1: chatted about earlier in the show, but not musicals. I mean,
32:53
Speaker 1: mine's not. I don't know about arials, but we'll have
32:56
Speaker 1: to find out about that after we come back from
32:58
Speaker 1: this quick break. All right, Jonathan, I was kind of
33:18
Speaker 1: surprised when you agreed to do this particular bash up,
33:22
Speaker 1: which is Teenage Mute Ninja Turtles and one hundred and
33:25
Speaker 1: one Dalmatians and not cruel up, because when the movie
33:28
Speaker 1: is not out into I don't I didn't see the
33:32
Speaker 1: point in her story, as I said earlier. So one Dalmatians. Yeah. Um,
33:37
Speaker 1: sometimes the pitches you come up with are ones where
33:41
Speaker 1: I don't. I can't imagine an easy entry point into
33:46
Speaker 1: the mash up, but I usually get there anyway. This
33:49
Speaker 1: time it hit me right away, which probably means that
33:52
Speaker 1: I've written the exact same thing that you've written. So
33:56
Speaker 1: who goes first? I'm going to go first this time
34:00
Speaker 1: he went first last. All right, this is called and
34:05
Speaker 1: I'm guessing we probably have one of the two same titles.
34:08
Speaker 1: Uh Teenage Mutant Ninja Puppies a k a. One hundred
34:10
Speaker 1: and one Shell Nations. Uh My, I'm using the version
34:16
Speaker 1: of one hundred and one Dalmatians and content warning because
34:20
Speaker 1: animal movies are disturbing to me. Little ones might find
34:23
Speaker 1: this disturbing if you're listening around your kids at certain points.
34:25
Speaker 1: Doesn't get super dark a little if your little ones
34:27
Speaker 1: are listening. I apologize for the weed joke I made earlier.
34:33
Speaker 1: You should have known by now. But okay, So one
34:38
Speaker 1: day a jingle writer falls in love with a woman
34:41
Speaker 1: at a park over their same choice of pet, Dalmatians.
34:44
Speaker 1: That's enough to build on a relationship on right Anyhow,
34:48
Speaker 1: Soon enough, the Dalmatians have puppies, one and one of them.
34:51
Speaker 1: In fact, one day at work, the woman's boss and furrier,
34:56
Speaker 1: I guess Shredder, known for the way he shreds port
35:00
Speaker 1: animals apart to create high fashion, finds out about the puppies,
35:03
Speaker 1: and after he has refused on his offer to buy
35:06
Speaker 1: them from the woman, he hires a goon played by
35:08
Speaker 1: David dustmachi In to go steal the puppies so that
35:11
Speaker 1: he can do unspeakable horrible things to him. Shredder, not
35:15
Speaker 1: David Dostmalchian. Dost Malchian nabs a Dalmatian puppies And yes,
35:18
Speaker 1: I only put it in there for the name similarity,
35:22
Speaker 1: and he gets four of them. He can't get all
35:24
Speaker 1: one d and one. He's only one goon and he
35:26
Speaker 1: can only carry so many puppies. And by the way,
35:28
Speaker 1: if you're curious, he got Speedy, Roly, Thunder and Dipstick
35:32
Speaker 1: and he brings them to the shoot at the back
35:34
Speaker 1: of Shredder's factory where he's supposed to drop them off.
35:37
Speaker 1: All the while he's repeating the plan to himself so
35:39
Speaker 1: that he doesn't forget it. Unfortunately, he chooses the wrong
35:43
Speaker 1: factory shoot and accidentally drops the puppies into a vat
35:46
Speaker 1: of chemicals, but fear not good listeners. Instead of the
35:49
Speaker 1: chemicals harming the puppies, it causes them to develop human
35:52
Speaker 1: like speech and reasoning and incredible fighting prowess. And that's
35:56
Speaker 1: when the puppies see Shredder and Shredder sees them. Speedy
36:00
Speaker 1: yells out Calabona as they jump into the fray to
36:03
Speaker 1: stop Shredder from harming them and freeing themselves, but Shredder
36:06
Speaker 1: calls on his army of foot soldiers, the Foot Clan,
36:09
Speaker 1: which is an army of one legged ninja rabbits who
36:11
Speaker 1: made deals for their lives by sacrificing one foot each
36:14
Speaker 1: to Shredder's fur business. The puppies best the foot Clan
36:17
Speaker 1: and Shredder and escape through a vent into the sewer
36:20
Speaker 1: and the sewers they find essentient Ferret, who has also
36:23
Speaker 1: had a chemical accident at Shredder's, who offers to train
36:25
Speaker 1: them in the ways of martial arts and self control.
36:28
Speaker 1: And they had so much fun defeating Shredder that they
36:31
Speaker 1: knew they just couldn't return home, so they accept They
36:34
Speaker 1: learned to sit sick and karate chop and adopt the
36:37
Speaker 1: alias is Bonatello, Michael mange Leio, Michael Mangelo, Maine, Michael Mainge. Hello,
36:44
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, Leonardo and Rapha. Howel uh They have
36:47
Speaker 1: a mad cap adventure. Sorry, go ahead. They have mad
36:53
Speaker 1: cap adventures in space, in the city, and even in
36:55
Speaker 1: seventeenth century Japan, until one day they realized they miss
36:59
Speaker 1: belly Rubs and decide to return home to their owners
37:01
Speaker 1: and their many brothers and sisters. Thankfully, their family is
37:05
Speaker 1: overjoyed at them returning. They've been searching for them this
37:08
Speaker 1: whole time, so it's a happy reunion and the next
37:11
Speaker 1: day the four begin trade to one day Takedown shredder
37:14
Speaker 1: once and for all the end, or I like it,
37:18
Speaker 1: I like it. Mine is very very different. Okay, So
37:23
Speaker 1: welcome to preteen mutant rough rough Ruffians. Here we go.
37:27
Speaker 1: He Pongo and Purdy have a problem. The two Dalmatians
37:32
Speaker 1: have their had their litter of fifteen puppies dog napped
37:35
Speaker 1: by the wicked Cruella de Ville. All right, so my
37:38
Speaker 1: story plays out exactly as it does in the classic
37:42
Speaker 1: one Dalmatians, but with a twist. During the escape from
37:46
Speaker 1: the battens, when Cruella is chasing down the moving van
37:50
Speaker 1: containing Pondo Purdy, they're fifteen kids plus another eighty four puppies.
37:55
Speaker 1: Four little puppies accidentally fall from the moving truck as
37:59
Speaker 1: it enters London. Cruella has attempted to run the van
38:02
Speaker 1: off the road, but collides with a Lori carrying containers
38:05
Speaker 1: of glowing green goo. Cruella is hit by a good
38:09
Speaker 1: amount of goo, but most of it hits the streets,
38:11
Speaker 1: soaking the four poor puppies. They get swept down a
38:15
Speaker 1: storm drain, but land safely, whereupon they discover a wise
38:18
Speaker 1: and talkative rat with a somewhat problema matic accent. The
38:23
Speaker 1: rat introduces himself as Splinter. Splinter takes the four puppies
38:27
Speaker 1: into his care, feeding them and teaching them all he can.
38:32
Speaker 1: But these four came from a group of eighty four
38:34
Speaker 1: puppies that Cruella had previously purloined. They are not the
38:38
Speaker 1: actual puppies of Pondo, Pongo, and Purdy. Just to make
38:42
Speaker 1: that clear, they have no real names or home, so
38:45
Speaker 1: Splinter decides to name them. One of the puppies a
38:48
Speaker 1: great lover of parks and people, he names Serat. The
38:52
Speaker 1: second a lover of pop art and comic books, he
38:55
Speaker 1: names Liechtenstein. The third puppy who had one ear stuck
38:58
Speaker 1: up and one that flopped over, he names Van Gogh.
39:01
Speaker 1: The fourth and messiest puppy, he names Pollock. The Green
39:06
Speaker 1: Good changes the puppies, making them more anthropomorphic. They take
39:10
Speaker 1: off almost human characteristics. He also teaches the puppies how
39:14
Speaker 1: to not only defend themselves, but he instills within them
39:17
Speaker 1: a desire to help others, and so the four puppies
39:20
Speaker 1: learn how to work together and develop a particularly rugged
39:24
Speaker 1: street fighting technique. Collectively, they are known as the pre
39:27
Speaker 1: Team Mutant Rough Rough Ruffians, and their record is spotty
39:32
Speaker 1: at best. Flash Forward a couple of years, and now
39:35
Speaker 1: they're the teenage Mutant Rough. You get the idea. The
39:39
Speaker 1: four friends have become protectors in London, helping those who
39:43
Speaker 1: are in trouble, but always from the shadows so as
39:45
Speaker 1: not to cause a scene. And there's a new scourge
39:48
Speaker 1: in the city. Or is it that new after all?
39:52
Speaker 1: A masked villain has been wreaking havoc, vandalizing shops on
39:56
Speaker 1: Oxford Street and covering London in spots. But the or
40:00
Speaker 1: Friends recognize their old nemesis even through the mask. Sure,
40:04
Speaker 1: now she calls herself shred Arella de Ville, but it's
40:08
Speaker 1: hardly a good supervillain name. I mean, the song about
40:12
Speaker 1: her is still a big hit on the radio. Shredderella
40:15
Speaker 1: has built up her own gang, known as the Foot Clan,
40:18
Speaker 1: so called because they are they wear extremely stylish polka
40:21
Speaker 1: dotted socks fuzzy ones. But Shrederella wants her revenge and moreover,
40:26
Speaker 1: wants to move into real fur socks. Our teenage Mutant
40:30
Speaker 1: rough Rough Ruffians learned that Shrederella plans to raid the
40:34
Speaker 1: Dalmatian Plantation, the home where the other nine puppies live.
40:39
Speaker 1: The unsuspecting family of Roger and Anita are none the wiser,
40:43
Speaker 1: and it's up to our heroes to save the day.
40:46
Speaker 1: They must make their way out of London in secrecy,
40:49
Speaker 1: and along the way they happen to come across an
40:51
Speaker 1: odd vigilante from Wales, Casey Jones. He favors a cricket
40:56
Speaker 1: bat as as a weapon of choice, and after an
40:58
Speaker 1: understandable moment of cry Asist as it begins to process
41:01
Speaker 1: the fact that for anthropomorphic talking Dalmatians are chatting with him,
41:05
Speaker 1: joins forces with our heroes. Together they managed to take
41:09
Speaker 1: out many of the Foot clan's ground forces near the
41:12
Speaker 1: Dalmatian plantation before anyone is the wiser. But Pollock gets
41:16
Speaker 1: a bit too rambunctious in one scuffle and soon the
41:18
Speaker 1: alarm is raised. What follows is an epic fight between
41:22
Speaker 1: our heroes and villains, with Shrederella shrieking the entire time.
41:26
Speaker 1: The family wakes up with tons of dogs and there's
41:28
Speaker 1: just a big loud mess. But in the end Shrederella
41:32
Speaker 1: is defeated, restrained, and left for the authorities to claim.
41:36
Speaker 1: She faces enormous amounts of jail time and fines for
41:40
Speaker 1: defacing various properties in London where such things are held
41:43
Speaker 1: as truly serious offenses. As for Surat, Liechtenstein, Van Gogh,
41:49
Speaker 1: and Pollock. As they prepared to leave, they see their
41:52
Speaker 1: former friends, now grown dogs, and there's a sweet reunion.
41:56
Speaker 1: But as Roger and Anita emerged from their home, the
41:58
Speaker 1: heroes make their goodbyes slip off into the night before
42:01
Speaker 1: they are seen. While the parting is sad, they all
42:04
Speaker 1: promised to communicate through the Twilight bark, which I had
42:07
Speaker 1: to look up because I couldn't remember if that was
42:09
Speaker 1: from a hundred one Dalmatians or if it was actually
42:12
Speaker 1: from Lady in the Tramp But it was the Dalmatian one.
42:14
Speaker 1: The end. I like it. I like the Twilight bark
42:19
Speaker 1: I had had forgotten. Yeah, I I wrote that as
42:23
Speaker 1: a joke, but it's legit. I I was like, wait,
42:25
Speaker 1: was Twilight barking Lady in the trampon with? Because I
42:28
Speaker 1: haven't seen either movie in a very long time. Well
42:32

42:36
