- 3:29Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to the show. Got a little
- 3:34Speaker 1: bit of an interesting topic here for us today, But
- 3:37Speaker 1: of course I always say that, and hopefully I'm delivering
- 3:41Speaker 1: on that promise. I was gonna save this topic for
- 3:45Speaker 1: a murder Monday, but gotta leave something for the regular show,
- 3:51Speaker 1: So we're gonna be discussing a little bit of Christopher
- 3:54Speaker 1: Walk in Weirdness today. I saw a couple of the
- 4:00Speaker 1: podcast talking about Christopher Walking, and they weren't necessarily conspiracy
- 4:06Speaker 1: theory podcasts, and they were missing some real gems that
- 4:13Speaker 1: I feel like shouldn't be avoided and definitely need to
- 4:17Speaker 1: be discussed, the big one being what the fuck happened
- 4:22Speaker 1: to Natalie Wood? And if you're not familiar Natalie Wood,
- 4:27Speaker 1: she was a pretty She was kind of Laurel Kenyon
- 4:30Speaker 1: adjacent actor. She ended up being in a movie with
- 4:34Speaker 1: Laurel Canyon Night Warren Baty in a film one of
- 4:39Speaker 1: my favorites of all time, Splendor in the Grass. And
- 4:44Speaker 1: she was pretty big. She was pretty big and died
- 4:48Speaker 1: really mysteriously in the company of Christopher Walking, and nothing
- 4:53Speaker 1: about this story has ever added up. But what I
- 4:57Speaker 1: really want to focus on is the movie Chris her
- 5:00Speaker 1: Walking was working on with her at the time of
- 5:05Speaker 1: her death, because I think we can start putting some
- 5:10Speaker 1: pieces together from there. No shout outs today, so we're
- 5:15Speaker 1: just gonna go tits deep into this topic. If you're ready,
- 5:19Speaker 1: I'm ready. Thanks for being here, Thanks for being listeners
- 5:23Speaker 1: and supporters of the Cosmic Peach podcast. If you love
- 5:27Speaker 1: what I do, leave a five star review. And if
- 5:30Speaker 1: you're new, welcome, and if you're a long time listener,
- 5:36Speaker 1: welcome back. Today we're talking all things Christopher Walking and
- 5:42Speaker 1: what the fuck was going on with the mysterious death
- 5:45Speaker 1: of Natalie Wood. So thirty something years ago, it's time
- 5:51Speaker 1: for a little story. A fantastic movie came out that
- 5:56Speaker 1: starred four Hollywood legends, three of whom were Oscar winners.
- 6:02Speaker 1: It was directed by one of the most important and
- 6:06Speaker 1: influential visual artists in film history, and the plot four
- 6:12Speaker 1: told the invention of virtual reality, decades ahead of its time.
- 6:19Speaker 1: The script was written as a showcase for a new
- 6:23Speaker 1: technology designed to change the way we see movies. One
- 6:27Speaker 1: of the Hollywood legends in this film died before the
- 6:33Speaker 1: movie was finished, a mysterious death, and this ended up
- 6:39Speaker 1: being her last movie. And you've probably never even heard
- 6:44Speaker 1: of it, the actress Natalie Wood. The movie Brainstorm, Yes, Brainstorm.
- 6:55Speaker 1: It had big stars, foretold virtual reality, and the director
- 6:59Speaker 1: was the special effects wizard behind two thousand and one,
- 7:04Speaker 1: a Space Odyssey. So why have we never heard of
- 7:10Speaker 1: this movie? And what happened to Natalie during the filming?
- 7:17Speaker 1: More importantly so during a break from filming Brainstorm, Natalie
- 7:27Speaker 1: Wood died mysteriously while vacationing with her husband, TV star
- 7:32Speaker 1: Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken. You may be familiar with
- 7:37Speaker 1: the case, but if you're not, here's a little breakdown.
- 7:40Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty one, as I said, Natalie was married
- 7:45Speaker 1: to Robert Wagner. Now, the weird thing is, Natalie was
- 7:50Speaker 1: married to Robert Wagner, and she actually ended her first
- 7:58Speaker 1: marriage to Robert Wagner after she walked in on him
- 8:04Speaker 1: in a compromising position quote unquote with their English butler,
- 8:09Speaker 1: David Cavendish. All right, so the compromising position quote unquote
- 8:16Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm taking it as straight humping'. And
- 8:21Speaker 1: later a few years down the road, Natalie and Robert Wagner,
- 8:27Speaker 1: I guess, rekindled and got remarried. So this was their
- 8:33Speaker 1: second marriage to each other. You know, I don't know
- 8:40Speaker 1: how you rekindle anything with a gay man, but apparently,
- 8:46Speaker 1: you know, he must have had something crazy going on
- 8:50Speaker 1: or this was all a setup. Cause you ladies out there,
- 8:54Speaker 1: you wake up This was the story. Anybody can go
- 8:58Speaker 1: and look this up. This is what happened. And she
- 9:01Speaker 1: woke up in the middle of the night, reached for
- 9:03Speaker 1: him on his side of the bed and he wasn't there.
- 9:07Speaker 1: She was like, oh, where's my husband at went and
- 9:10Speaker 1: started looking around in the house, checked the kitchen. Maybe
- 9:12Speaker 1: he was getting a little blooney sandwich. No, he wasn't
- 9:16Speaker 1: getting that kind of baloney sandwich. He was deep throating
- 9:22Speaker 1: their butler's baloney sandwich. And I don't know, ladies, if
- 9:28Speaker 1: you can come back from something like that, I don't
- 9:31Speaker 1: know if you can even come back from seeing your
- 9:33Speaker 1: husband doing something like that. Maybe some of you out
- 9:38Speaker 1: there are ended the bisexuals, but.
- 9:42Speaker 4: I'm not.
- 9:46Speaker 1: I don't know how they rekindled anything, but apparently they did.
- 9:50Speaker 1: I think it was a setup. But so anyways, late November,
- 9:55Speaker 1: Natalie takes a break from filming again and her and
- 9:58Speaker 1: Robert decided they were gonna go off go out on
- 10:02Speaker 1: the yacht with Christopher walk and hang out just outside
- 10:07Speaker 1: of Catalina Island, gets some R and R and you know,
- 10:12Speaker 1: so they invited Chris along because Natalie apparently was best
- 10:18Speaker 1: these with him. They were getting close over the filming
- 10:21Speaker 1: of Brainstorm, and there is a little speculation that maybe
- 10:27Speaker 1: they got a little too close, if you know what
- 10:31Speaker 1: I'm saying. But the four of them, including the caretaker
- 10:37Speaker 1: of the yacht, were all out on this beautiful sixty
- 10:41Speaker 1: foot yacht called the Splendor, maybe to do a Splendor
- 10:45Speaker 1: in the Grass, one of Natalie's earlier movies. Not sure.
- 10:48Speaker 1: They were hanging out just outside of Catalina Island and
- 10:53Speaker 1: they were wanting to move the boat. Robert and Natalie
- 10:59Speaker 1: and up getting into a pretty heated argument because Robert
- 11:05Speaker 1: wants to move the boat to a spot closer to
- 11:08Speaker 1: the island at night, but Natalie is deathly afraid of water.
- 11:14Speaker 1: She can't swim, and she's specifically scared of dark water.
- 11:21Speaker 1: She can't stand it deep, dark, murky water. She can't
- 11:26Speaker 1: do it lifelong fear, so she doesn't feel safe or
- 11:31Speaker 1: comfortable moving the boat at night, and she tells Robert basically, no,
- 11:39Speaker 1: I really would prefer if we didn't move the boat
- 11:44Speaker 1: at night, because Hella, We'll got a life long fear
- 11:47Speaker 1: a deep water. So they can't agree, and Dennis, the
- 11:51Speaker 1: caretaker or captain of the yacht, decides to load up
- 11:55Speaker 1: the dinghy boat and he takes Natalie back to shore.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Natalie and Robert have already had a pretty rocky relationship
- 12:04Speaker 1: up to this point, considering the gay walking and all,
- 12:08Speaker 1: and once she Once Natalie gets to shore, she says,
- 12:14Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna stay in a hotel tonight, and
- 12:16Speaker 1: I'm leaving Robert. I'm divorcing Robert. I'm over this shit.
- 12:21Speaker 1: He can't even respect me. Ya Da da da da.
- 12:23Speaker 1: And the captain of the yacht, Dennis, he actually decides
- 12:27Speaker 1: to stay with her. Did he stay in the same room,
- 12:31Speaker 1: did he stay in an adjoining room, did he stay
- 12:33Speaker 1: in the same hotel? I don't know. Maybe she just
- 12:36Speaker 1: wanted to get a little strange. It's up for interpretation, Okay.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Apparently he said he was just going to help her out,
- 12:48Speaker 1: help her get off the boat because she was scared,
- 12:50Speaker 1: and help her do whatever she needed to do. I bet,
- 12:54Speaker 1: I bet Dennis just wanted to help her out. But
- 12:58Speaker 1: Robert and Chris actually stayed on the yacht for the
- 13:00Speaker 1: evening alone together. We don't know if it was awkward.
- 13:04Speaker 1: We don't know if it was weird. We don't know
- 13:07Speaker 1: if they said anything to each other. We don't know.
- 13:09Speaker 1: If they argued. We don't know anything about what they
- 13:13Speaker 1: were doing alone on the yacht together that evening. All
- 13:16Speaker 1: we know is that they stayed on the yacht that
- 13:19Speaker 1: night and the next day. This is what unfolded. Natalie
- 13:25Speaker 1: was able to clear her head a little, got some
- 13:27Speaker 1: distance from the situation, decides that she's ready to work
- 13:31Speaker 1: things out with Robert, and she decides to go back
- 13:35Speaker 1: to the yacht. So Dennis sloads up the dinghy boat
- 13:39Speaker 1: again and they head back to the yacht. Throughout the
- 13:43Speaker 1: day on this November twenty eighth, Natalie and Chris were laughing, giggling,
- 13:50Speaker 1: seemingly flirting with each other throughout the day. Everybody was
- 13:55Speaker 1: drinking pretty hard and heavy, and so you would imagine
- 14:00Speaker 1: that spirits were actually pretty high. But that's not the case. Dennis,
- 14:06Speaker 1: the caretaker, the captain. He recalls that Robert was extremely
- 14:10Speaker 1: uncomfortable and annoyed that Natalie was infatuated with Chris. Basically,
- 14:16Speaker 1: in fact, he felt like something might have been going on,
- 14:20Speaker 1: which why does he care. He's got a butler to
- 14:23Speaker 1: go eat his boloney sandwich. But there is an account
- 14:28Speaker 1: from the director of the movie Brainstorm, Douglas Trumbull he
- 14:34Speaker 1: says they didn't really show any signs of physical chemistry
- 14:39Speaker 1: Natalie and Chris, not even during any of the love
- 14:42Speaker 1: scenes in the movie, so he doubts that there was
- 14:46Speaker 1: any sort of an affair or a fling going on,
- 14:49Speaker 1: keeping in mind that both Chris and Natalie are clearly
- 14:54Speaker 1: married and this was just supposed to be like a
- 14:56Speaker 1: friend's trip, but you know, being married when his dad
- 15:01Speaker 1: ever stops you from getting the d But we're not
- 15:05Speaker 1: really sure what was going on between the two of them,
- 15:07Speaker 1: because there's only one left to tell the tale. According
- 15:12Speaker 1: to the caretaker slash Captain, Robert gets so mad because
- 15:19Speaker 1: Chris and Natalie are flirting with each other that he
- 15:22Speaker 1: eventually smashes a wine bottle, smashes it in front of everybody,
- 15:27Speaker 1: and at this point he's screaming in Chris's face and
- 15:30Speaker 1: he's like, what are you doing. You're trying to fuck
- 15:32Speaker 1: my wife? Yaada data. Natalie's embarrassed, naturally, she's pissed off.
- 15:39Speaker 1: She gets up, She goes into her bedroom on the yacht,
- 15:43Speaker 1: and Robert decides to follow her in there, and the
- 15:48Speaker 1: two of them begin arguing intensely. Chris decides that he's
- 15:53Speaker 1: just going to leave the whole situation, and he goes
- 15:58Speaker 1: back to his room on the yacht and basically closes
- 16:01Speaker 1: himself in there and isn't really heard from again for
- 16:05Speaker 1: the rest of the night.
- 16:06Speaker 8: At that moment, Christopher stood up and he went directly
- 16:10Speaker 8: to his stateroom, and that was the last I've seen
- 16:14Speaker 8: him for that whole night.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Dennis the caretaker, claims that he could hear some pretty
- 16:20Speaker 1: intense arguing happening, and it even sounded like there might
- 16:24Speaker 1: have been some physical altercation because he heard a lot
- 16:28Speaker 1: of thumping and banging, and then out of nowhere, it
- 16:34Speaker 1: just stopped night.
- 16:36Speaker 12: Robert Wagner, Natie would Ferosia's fight going on. You turned
- 16:40Speaker 12: up your music so they would not think in your
- 16:42Speaker 12: mind that you were eavesdropping or trying to hear them.
- 16:45Speaker 8: But you did hear them, Yeah, yes I did, and
- 16:50Speaker 8: I kept the music going, but I could I could
- 16:53Speaker 8: still hear the arguing, and then the arguing went on
- 16:57Speaker 8: to the f deck and slater. Everything became silent. So
- 17:04Speaker 8: I thought that maybe they were making up, and maybe
- 17:06Speaker 8: they were going to go to bed and that was
- 17:08Speaker 8: going to be the end of it. So I waited
- 17:10Speaker 8: for a little while and I still had the music on,
- 17:12Speaker 8: and I decided, well, I'm going to go down below
- 17:17Speaker 8: and just I'm going to go to the f deck
- 17:19Speaker 8: and just see if everything's okay. Well, Robert Wagner was
- 17:22Speaker 8: standing there, leaning his back against the back of the boat,
- 17:26Speaker 8: facing the boat, and he said that that Natalie was missing.
- 17:30Speaker 8: And when I go search the boat.
- 17:32Speaker 1: It's at this point Robert informs Dennis that he can't
- 17:36Speaker 1: find Natalie. He has no idea where she is. It's
- 17:41Speaker 1: about twelve fifteen am on November twenty ninth. Robert's saying,
- 17:46Speaker 1: we need to find her. We need to find her.
- 17:48Speaker 1: We need to look for Natalie. And Dennis is like, okay, well,
- 17:51Speaker 1: let's turn on the floodlights and see if we can
- 17:54Speaker 1: see her out in the water. Let's look for let's,
- 17:57Speaker 1: you know, get these lights on. We're going to find her.
- 18:00Speaker 1: And Robert's like, no, no, no, no, no, we're not
- 18:04Speaker 1: gonna do that actually, and Dennis is like, okay, well,
- 18:09Speaker 1: let's call the coast guard. We need the coastguard's help.
- 18:13Speaker 1: If she's not on the boat, we need some backup here.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Maybe she's hurt, maybe she's flung her dumb cut itself
- 18:20Speaker 1: over the railing or something. Maybe there's more going on, Robert,
- 18:25Speaker 1: and we need some help out here. And Robert's like, no,
- 18:31Speaker 1: we're not gonna call the coast guard. In fact, he
- 18:36Speaker 1: doesn't call for any help until one thirty in the morning,
- 18:41Speaker 1: nearly an hour and a half after she went missing.
- 18:44Speaker 1: And it's not until three thirty am that they decide
- 18:47Speaker 1: to let the coast guard know that she is missing
- 18:51Speaker 1: and we really need to ramp up this search here.
- 18:54Speaker 8: Well, I went back to Robert Wagner and said she
- 18:57Speaker 8: was nowhere on the boat. And I said, let's turn
- 19:02Speaker 8: on the search light. We had a very big search light,
- 19:04Speaker 8: and I said, let's turn on the search light to
- 19:06Speaker 8: see if we cannot if we could see her, and
- 19:09Speaker 8: he said, we're not going to do that. He said no,
- 19:12Speaker 8: And I said, well, let's call the let's call the restaurant.
- 19:17Speaker 8: He said, we're not going to do that either. So
- 19:22Speaker 8: we stood there and I was just devastated. I think
- 19:25Speaker 8: I was actually in shock. And Robert Wagner poured me
- 19:29Speaker 8: a drink and it was like it was like torture
- 19:34Speaker 8: that was going on. And after a couple hours, I said,
- 19:39Speaker 8: we have we have to call the restaurant. So we
- 19:44Speaker 8: called the restaurant, and right after that, the people from
- 19:48Speaker 8: the restaurant came out to the boat and they said,
- 19:51Speaker 8: we should call the coastguard. We need to call the coastguard.
- 19:54Speaker 2: It's time we have to call somebody.
- 19:56Speaker 11: She's gone.
- 19:57Speaker 12: And when you didn't make that call for help, it
- 19:59Speaker 12: wasn't for hey, he needs to search the water for her.
- 20:01Speaker 12: He has people in town to search for her in town. Well,
- 20:03Speaker 12: if your wife is missing and the dinghy's missing, I'm
- 20:06Speaker 12: gonna go look for her. I'm gonna find her, especially
- 20:08Speaker 12: in seas like that.
- 20:09Speaker 1: This is beyond suspicious people. And this whole entire time,
- 20:17Speaker 1: where's Christopher walking? Where's Christopher walking? He's allegedly asleep in
- 20:26Speaker 1: his stateroom, but is he Because the dinghy boat was missing,
- 20:33Speaker 1: they assumed that Natalie took this stingy boat and went
- 20:36Speaker 1: back into town, kind of like she did the night prior.
- 20:40Speaker 1: But she's deathly afraid of deep, dark waters. She ain't
- 20:44Speaker 1: taking that shit out on her own.
- 20:46Speaker 12: I've always been terrified, still am of water, dark waters, seawater.
- 20:51Speaker 1: So the likelihood that she would go into that boat
- 20:55Speaker 1: by herself at night, drunk, it's not adding up people.
- 21:00Speaker 1: She wouldn't do it in a nightgown. No less, she
- 21:05Speaker 1: didn't get the mail in a nightgown. If she wanted
- 21:08Speaker 1: to go somewhere, she would ask Dennis ass to take
- 21:11Speaker 1: her somewhere, like she did the night before when she
- 21:13Speaker 1: wanted to go into town. That's his job. That's why
- 21:17Speaker 1: he's there. It's dark out, she's drunk, she's got a
- 21:20Speaker 1: nightgown on. She doesn't like the water, she doesn't know
- 21:24Speaker 1: how to swim. There's no reason for her to get
- 21:27Speaker 1: in that dinghy boat to go any the fuck where.
- 21:31Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense, And the story Robert Wagner
- 21:34Speaker 1: was telling is hogwash dog shit. With Robert delaying and
- 21:42Speaker 1: obstructing this search effort, it's no surprise that Natalie was
- 21:46Speaker 1: never located. It wasn't until seven forty five in the
- 21:52Speaker 1: morning on November twenty ninth that the harbormaster Doug Bombard
- 21:56Speaker 1: spots this red thing floating just south of Blue Cavern
- 22:00Speaker 1: Point on Santa Catalina Island. It's about two hundred yards
- 22:06Speaker 1: from the dinghy boat, and it's about a mile from
- 22:09Speaker 1: the splendor. And unfortunately, that red object bobbing up and
- 22:15Speaker 1: down that Doug saw on the water would be Natalie
- 22:19Speaker 1: Wood's red down jacket keeping her body afloat just off
- 22:24Speaker 1: the coast of Santa Catalina Island. At the time, Chris, Dennis,
- 22:32Speaker 1: and Robert all had matching stories about what could possibly
- 22:37Speaker 1: have happened, but none of them had any information about
- 22:42Speaker 1: what really happened. Chris says he was a fucked to sleep.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Robert says he don't know what the hell happened after
- 22:51Speaker 1: they argued, because he went back to his room and
- 22:53Speaker 1: that's all she wrote.
- 22:54Speaker 7: Got into an argument with Chris because he was saying,
- 22:58Speaker 7: how what a wonderful actress she is. They were doing
- 23:00Speaker 7: film together and that I said, you know, what are
- 23:02Speaker 7: you getting involved with her in her career for? And
- 23:04Speaker 7: one thing that to another, not a physical altercation, but
- 23:06Speaker 7: an altercation that took us out on the deck, and
- 23:08Speaker 7: I was angry at him. I looked below. I saw
- 23:11Speaker 7: Natalie was doing something with her hair. She was gonna
- 23:14Speaker 7: go to bed. Chris and I were still talking, we
- 23:15Speaker 7: weren't particularly arguing that you know, shot up for a
- 23:18Speaker 7: while and when I went down below, she wasn't there.
- 23:21Speaker 7: You know, we never heard anything. The dingy was gone.
- 23:23Speaker 7: We never heard it start.
- 23:24Speaker 1: We never heard anything at all, And Dennis says that
- 23:27Speaker 1: he doesn't really know what happened because he was basically
- 23:31Speaker 1: steering the yacht doing whatever captain caretakers do. So we
- 23:36Speaker 1: have no clue what actually happened to Natalie. The only
- 23:38Speaker 1: person that knows is Natalie.
- 23:42Speaker 12: Or is it information which we felt was substantial enough
- 23:46Speaker 12: to make us take another look at this case.
- 23:47Speaker 8: I believe that Robert Wagner was with her up until
- 23:50Speaker 8: the moment she went.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Into the water.
- 23:52Speaker 11: While not a suspect, Robert Wagner is now considered a
- 23:55Speaker 11: person of interest.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Well it does.
- 23:57Speaker 12: It actually confers my suspicions even more that what was
- 24:00Speaker 12: originally reported isn't exactly what happened.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Her death was initially ruled in accidental drowning, and because
- 24:07Speaker 1: of her fear of going into dark water, that seems
- 24:10Speaker 1: like the absolute worst way for her to have died.
- 24:15Speaker 1: Chris and Robert have remained relatively silent about the whole
- 24:19Speaker 1: story over the years. Chris actually does an interview where
- 24:25Speaker 1: he basically says that Natalie is the only person who
- 24:28Speaker 1: can really know what happened that night. He was asleep
- 24:32Speaker 1: and has no clue what happened to her must have
- 24:35Speaker 1: just been a tragic accident.
- 24:38Speaker 11: The untimely death of Natalie Wood during the filming of Brainstorm.
- 24:42Speaker 11: Did that make that entire experience painful for you?
- 24:46Speaker 2: Oh? Sure? I mean it's on so many in so
- 24:51Speaker 2: many ways. It was a talented filming.
- 24:53Speaker 11: Did having a coworker and a friend die change your
- 24:56Speaker 11: attitude about living? Christopher?
- 25:02Speaker 2: Well, I suppose you know, confrontation with the sudden absence
- 25:08Speaker 2: of somebody you're working with and know, for anybody, you know,
- 25:11Speaker 2: it's a bound to make a difference in your life. Yes. Sure.
- 25:13Speaker 11: How do you feel about the way the media handled
- 25:17Speaker 11: the fact that Natalie Wood did die during the shooting
- 25:20Speaker 11: of Brainstorm? How do you think that was dealt with?
- 25:23Speaker 2: They handled it, you know, and the only way they could.
- 25:26Speaker 2: It was a shocking thing. And and I think everything
- 25:32Speaker 2: happened that well, you know what was going to happen.
- 25:38Speaker 11: Do you think that the real story of Natalie Wood's
- 25:40Speaker 11: death has actually come out?
- 25:43Speaker 2: The real story of her death is that she drowned,
- 25:49Speaker 2: and nobody knows how she drowned or what happened except her.
- 25:58Speaker 2: That's what it is. There is no real story, you know,
- 26:04Speaker 2: there's nobody to know.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Here's the problem, though, Baby the forensics tells the story.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Natalie's body is telling the story. No water was found
- 26:19Speaker 1: in her lungs during the autopsy. Bruises, however, were found
- 26:23Speaker 1: all over her body. And wouldn't you know the same
- 26:28Speaker 1: corner who did Marilyn Monroe is responsible for performing the
- 26:33Speaker 1: autopsy on Natalie Wood Thomas Negucci. He says, no water
- 26:40Speaker 1: in the lungs, bruises all over the body. Something ain't
- 26:44Speaker 1: adding up. The only thing we can draw from this
- 26:49Speaker 1: is that Natalie was dead before she hit the fucking water,
- 26:52Speaker 1: and there were some nearby boaters who heard screams for
- 26:57Speaker 1: help in the distance, and we can only imagine those
- 27:01Speaker 1: screams were coming from Natalie. But all the while Chris
- 27:05Speaker 1: was just sleeping away, just sleeping right through it. There
- 27:10Speaker 1: could have been a real coup going on here between Robert,
- 27:14Speaker 1: Chris and Dennis to get their story straight, because nobody
- 27:19Speaker 1: needed to know what really happened. There are many people
- 27:23Speaker 1: who have said many disturbing things about Christopher Walking over
- 27:27Speaker 1: the years. He's slightly elusive, doesn't own a computer or
- 27:31Speaker 1: a cell phone, refuses to possess any type of technology,
- 27:36Speaker 1: like this. And you know, some people have said that
- 27:42Speaker 1: they've seen he has a tail, an alligator tail. Some
- 27:47Speaker 1: people say that he likes to sexually assault women by
- 27:52Speaker 1: fucking them in the ass and brags about it. And
- 27:55Speaker 1: then there's this weird interview with Melgips and take a look.
- 28:00Speaker 3: The first time I ever did a costing session in
- 28:03Speaker 3: America terrified me. Me too, I mean, hell, I came
- 28:06Speaker 3: in to meet the guy. They said, oh, he's flying,
- 28:07Speaker 3: He's flying in from god knows where.
- 28:10Speaker 9: But he didn't need a plane, right.
- 28:11Speaker 3: He came in, you're doing all that kind of Scorsese stuff.
- 28:15Speaker 3: And I said, have you had a chance to read
- 28:17Speaker 3: the script? And he looked at me and he said
- 28:18Speaker 3: do you like my face? And I went yes. And
- 28:21Speaker 3: he said, well that's fucking great because if you don't
- 28:23Speaker 3: get de Niro, fuck you. I'm out of here, and
- 28:26Speaker 3: stood up and walked out and never said, well that
- 28:28Speaker 3: I think it was quite a good meeting.
- 28:29Speaker 4: No.
- 28:29Speaker 9: He came to see me on a rooftop in New York.
- 28:31Speaker 9: I said, hey, can I Can I talk to you?
- 28:32Speaker 9: And he said sure. He floated in sideways, threw a
- 28:38Speaker 9: crowd of people.
- 28:38Speaker 2: He was wearing black.
- 28:46Speaker 9: And It was like one of those old vampire movies
- 28:48Speaker 9: where they don't walk but they glide. And he was
- 28:50Speaker 9: a dancer, you know, so he has very he's very graceful,
- 28:54Speaker 9: and he moved sideways and he just sat down on
- 28:56Speaker 9: a chair next to me, and it kind of frightened me.
- 29:01Speaker 9: And he's a very smart guy. And we started talking
- 29:04Speaker 9: and I didn't, you know, say much of anything about
- 29:07Speaker 9: reading the script nothing. I just started talking about the
- 29:09Speaker 9: Middle Ages, and he began to talk tortures, and we
- 29:16Speaker 9: swapped tortures because I'd read this book on torture, and
- 29:20Speaker 9: I tried to recall some of the most heinous things
- 29:22Speaker 9: I'd ever read in this book, and he was like,
- 29:24Speaker 9: oh oh, and he'd try and top it. And my
- 29:28Speaker 9: assistant was there, and he left because he couldn't stand
- 29:30Speaker 9: it anymore. The air had turned cold. And then he left,
- 29:34Speaker 9: and I wanted to leave, and because I knew that
- 29:39Speaker 9: I didn't want to work with him, and he was
- 29:41Speaker 9: getting scary. And then I turned around and it was
- 29:45Speaker 9: on top of the Peninsula Hotel. I turned around to
- 29:48Speaker 9: avoid his steady gaze at one point, and I was
- 29:51Speaker 9: looking at a building with the top of the sixes
- 29:53Speaker 9: on it. So there was a huge illuminated triple six
- 29:56Speaker 9: in red and I went from that to that. He
- 30:00Speaker 9: started smiling, and I thought, oh no, Chris Walkin is
- 30:04Speaker 9: the Antichrist?
- 30:05Speaker 11: You know.
- 30:08Speaker 1: What is going on with Christopher walking He's like a
- 30:12Speaker 1: weird spectral entity that haunts Hollywood. Could Natalie have been
- 30:18Speaker 1: some kind of a weird sacrifice? I mean this movie
- 30:21Speaker 1: that they had going on here, this brainstorm, all the
- 30:25Speaker 1: Laurel Canyon connections with her husband and mister beloney balls.
- 30:31Speaker 1: There's some weird homosexual mob energy going on with this
- 30:35Speaker 1: story here. Maybe they pushed Natalie's contest over the boat
- 30:40Speaker 1: and they had a threesome. I don't know. Okay, what
- 30:44Speaker 1: are your thoughts, feelings, opinions? Is Chris involved? Was it
- 30:48Speaker 1: all just Robert? Why do people have such terrifying stories
- 30:54Speaker 1: of their encounter with Chris? Is he one of these
- 30:58Speaker 1: vampire elite class comeback? Except for you? Give me your thoughts,
- 31:03Speaker 1: of your feelings, your opinions in the comments section. This
