  probably
• 2:05
  that.
• 2:07
  I
• 2:07
  love
• 2:07
  asking
• 2:08
  that
• 2:08
  question
• 2:08
  for
• 2:08
  these
• 2:08
  because
• 2:09
  usually
• 2:09
  it's
• 2:10
  like
• 2:10
  this.
• 2:12
  Like
• 2:12
  I
• 2:12
  was
• 2:12
  getting
• 2:12
  ready
• 2:13
  to
• 2:13
  record
• 2:13
  this.
• 2:13
  I
• 2:13
  just
• 2:13
  read
• 2:14
  this.
• 2:14
  I
• 2:15
  mean,
• 2:15
  I
• 2:15
  read

  of
• 2:16
  comic
• 2:16
  books
• 2:16

• 2:16
  Marvel
• 2:17
  Unlimited.
• 2:18
  Yeah,
• 2:18
  yeah,
• 2:19
  that
• 2:19
  counts.
• 2:19
  That
• 2:20
  counts
• 2:20
  as
• 2:20
  reading.
• 2:20
  Yeah,
• 2:21
  yeah.
• 2:22
  For
• 2:22
  me
• 2:22
  it
• 2:22
  was
• 2:23
  actually.
• 2:23
  I.
• 2:24
  So
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  read
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  Am
• 2:25
  Legend.
• 2:26
  And
• 2:26
  then
• 2:27
  just
• 2:27
  because
• 2:27
  like
• 2:28
  I
• 2:28
  had
• 2:28
  the
• 2:28
  tab
• 2:29
  open
• 2:29
  already,
• 2:29
  I
• 2:30
  was
• 2:30
  like,
• 2:30
  man,

  I
• 2:30
  should
• 2:31

• 3:19
  Andy's
• 3:19
  wearing

  nice

• 3:23
  I

  don't
• 3:23
  remember
• 3:24
  the
• 3:24
  name
• 3:24
  of
• 3:24
  the

• 3:24
  but
• 3:25
  it's
• 3:25
  a
• 3:25
  really
• 3:25
  nice
• 3:25
  shirt.
• 3:26
  They're
• 3:26
  pretty
• 3:26
  comfy.
• 3:27
  I
• 3:28
  love
• 3:28

• 3:28
  I
• 3:28
  wear
• 3:28
  comfort
• 3:29
  color
• 3:29
  shirts
• 3:29
  all
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  time.
• 3:31
  And
• 3:31
  if
• 3:32
  you
• 3:32
  do
• 3:32
  go
• 3:32
  support
• 3:32
  us
• 3:33
  any
• 3:33
  merch
• 3:34
  that
• 3:34
  is
• 3:34
  all
• 3:34
  reading
• 3:35
  counts.
• 3:36
  Bonus
• 3:36
  questions,
• 3:37
  donations
• 3:38
  even
• 3:38
  mark
• 3:39
  all
• 3:39
  reading
• 3:39
  counts.
• 3:40
  They
• 3:40
  go
• 3:40
  to
• 3:40
  supporting
• 3:40
  local
• 3:41
  libraries.
• 3:41
  So
• 3:42
  if
• 3:42
  that's
• 3:42
  something
• 3:42
  you're
• 3:43
  Passionate
• 3:43
  about.
• 3:43
  There's
• 3:44
  a
• 3:44
  way
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  can,
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  know,
• 3:45
  get
• 3:45
  two
• 3:45
  birds
• 3:46
  with
• 3:46
  one
• 3:46
  stone
• 3:46
  there.
• 3:48
  So
• 3:49
  if
• 3:49
  it's
• 3:49
  your
• 3:50
  first
• 3:50
  time
• 3:50
  listening
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  one
• 3:50
  of
• 3:50
  these.
• 3:51
  When
• 3:51
  we
• 3:51
  say
• 3:51
  all
• 3:51
  reading
• 3:52
  counts,
• 3:53
  what
• 3:53
  we
• 3:53
  mean
• 3:54
  is
• 3:54
  if
• 3:55
  you
• 3:55
  are
• 3:55
  consuming
• 3:56
  literature
• 3:56
  in
• 3:56
  some
• 3:57
  way,
• 3:57
  shape
• 3:57
  or
• 3:57
  form,
• 3:58
  any
• 3:59
  way,
• 3:59
  shape
• 3:59
  or
• 3:59
  form
• 4:00
  that
• 4:00
  counts
• 4:01
  as
• 4:01
  reading.
• 4:01
  And
• 4:01
  we
• 4:02
  started
• 4:02
  this
• 4:02
  because
• 4:02
  people
• 4:03
  tend
• 4:03
  to
• 4:04
  be
• 4:04
  a
• 4:04
  little
• 4:04
  critical
• 4:04
  of
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  audiobook
• 4:06
  enjoyer.
• 4:08
  We
• 4:08
  think
• 4:09
  that's
• 4:09
  ridiculous.
• 4:11
  If
• 4:12
  I
• 4:12
  read
• 4:12
  War
• 4:13
  and
• 4:13
  Peace
• 4:13
  and
• 4:13
  Andy
• 4:14
  listened
• 4:14
  to
• 4:14
  War
• 4:14
  and
• 4:15
  Peace,
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  only
• 4:16
  real
• 4:16
  difference
• 4:17
  is
• 4:17
  going
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  be
• 4:17
  that
• 4:17
  my
• 4:18
  eyes
• 4:18
  are
• 4:18
  going
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  be
• 4:18
  a
• 4:19
  lot
• 4:19
  more
• 4:19
  tired
• 4:19
  at
• 4:20
  the
• 4:20
  end
• 4:20
  of
• 4:20
  it.
• 4:21
  So
• 4:21
  that's
• 4:22
  really
• 4:22
  what
• 4:22
  we
• 4:22
  mean.
• 4:22
  And
• 4:23
  we
• 4:23
  really
• 4:24
  are
• 4:24
  proponents
• 4:25
  of
• 4:27
  literacy.
• 4:28
  Illiteracy
• 4:29
  rates
• 4:29
  are
• 4:29
  climbing
• 4:30
  in
• 4:30
  our
• 4:30
  country
• 4:31
  across
• 4:31
  the
• 4:31
  board.
• 4:32
  And
• 4:33
  reading
• 4:34
  I
• 4:34
  find
• 4:34
  to
• 4:35
  be
• 4:35
  super
• 4:35
  beneficial.
• 4:35
  It
• 4:36
  helps
• 4:36
  me
• 4:36
  center
• 4:37
  myself.
• 4:37
  I
• 4:38
  am
• 4:38
  like,
• 4:38
  as
• 4:38
  a
• 4:38
  younger
• 4:39
  guy,
• 4:39
  it's
• 4:40
  pretty
• 4:40
  easy
• 4:40
  for
• 4:40
  me
• 4:40
  to
• 4:41
  just
• 4:41
  put
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  book
• 4:42
  down,
• 4:42
  not
• 4:43
  pick
• 4:43
  it
• 4:43
  back
• 4:43
  up.
• 4:44
  So,
• 4:45
  like,
• 4:45
  forcing
• 4:45
  myself
• 4:46
  to
• 4:46
  get,
• 4:47
  you
• 4:47
  know,
• 4:47
  pick
• 4:47
  up
• 4:48
  a
• 4:48
  book
• 4:48
  and
• 4:48
  finish
• 4:49
  it
• 4:49
  actually
• 4:50
  has
• 4:50
  helped
• 4:50
  me
• 4:50
  focus
• 4:51
  a
• 4:51
  lot
• 4:51
  more
• 4:51
  on
• 4:52
  other
• 4:52
  things,
• 4:53
  that
• 4:53
  kind
• 4:54
  of
• 4:54
  thing.
• 4:54
  Any
• 4:54
  brain
• 4:54
  rotted
• 4:55
  listeners
• 4:55
  out
• 4:55
  there,
• 4:56
  read
• 4:56
  a

• 4:57
  story
• 4:57
  to
• 4:57
  completion.
• 4:58
  It'll
• 4:58
  help,
• 4:59
  I
• 4:59
  promise.
• 5:01
  So
• 5:02
  today
• 5:02
  we're
• 5:02
  talking
• 5:02
  about
• 5:02
  why
• 5:03
  it
• 5:03
  counts
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  read
• 5:04
  novellas.
• 5:04
  And
• 5:04
  we
• 5:04
  are
• 5:05
  specifically
• 5:05
  covering
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  Am
• 5:07
  Legend
• 5:07
  because
• 5:08
  it
• 5:08
  is
• 5:09
  legendary
• 5:13
  might
• 5:13
  be
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  most
• 5:14
  adapted
• 5:14
  novella
• 5:15
  of
• 5:15
  all
• 5:15
  time.
• 5:16
  I
• 5:16
  didn't
• 5:17
  know
• 5:17
  that
• 5:17
  before
• 5:17
  we
• 5:18
  started,
• 5:18
  you
• 5:18
  know,
• 5:18
  planning
• 5:19
  this
• 5:19
  episode.
• 5:20
  It's
• 5:21
  three
• 5:22
  technically
• 5:23
  sort
• 5:23
  of
• 5:23
  four
• 5:24
  movie
• 5:24
  adaptations
• 5:25
  of
• 5:25
  this
• 5:26
  one
• 5:26
  novella.
• 5:27
  The
• 5:27
  one
• 5:28
  you're
• 5:28
  most
• 5:28
  familiar
• 5:28
  with
• 5:28
  is
• 5:29
  probably
• 5:29
  Will
• 5:29
  Smith's
• 5:30
  I
• 5:30
  am
• 5:30
  legend
• 5:30
  2007,
• 5:31
  which
• 5:32
  allegedly
• 5:33
  has
• 5:33
  a
• 5:33
  sequel
• 5:33
  in
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  works.
• 5:35
  I
• 5:35
  don't
• 5:35
  know
• 5:35
  if
• 5:35
  you
• 5:36
  knew
• 5:36
  that,
• 5:36
  Andy,
• 5:36
  but
• 5:36
  they
• 5:37
  are,
• 5:37
  they
• 5:37
  are
• 5:37
  allegedly
• 5:38
  working
• 5:38
  on
• 5:38
  I
• 5:38
  am
• 5:39
  Legend
• 5:39
  2,
• 5:40
  which
• 5:40
  could
• 5:41
  be
• 5:41
  really
• 5:41
  interesting.
• 5:42
  I
• 5:42
  don't
• 5:42
  know.
• 5:43
  I
• 5:43
  think
• 5:43
  that
• 5:43
  has
• 5:44
  popped
• 5:44
  up
• 5:44
  in
• 5:45
  my
• 5:45
  awareness
• 5:45
  at
• 5:45
  some
• 5:46
  point.
• 5:46
  Yes.
• 5:47
  Yeah.
• 5:48
  So
• 5:48
  I
• 5:49
  kind
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  can't
• 5:49
  wait
• 5:50
  to
• 5:50
  see
• 5:50
  what
• 5:50
  that
• 5:50
  is.
• 5:51
  But
• 5:52
  before
• 5:52
  we
• 5:52
  get
• 5:52
  into
• 5:53
  I
• 5:53
  Am
• 5:53
  Legend,
• 5:53
  I'm
• 5:54
  gonna
• 5:54
  talk
• 5:54
  about
• 5:54
  a
• 5:54
  novella.
• 5:55
  So
• 5:56
  novella,
• 5:57
  typically,
• 5:57
  as
• 5:58
  described
• 5:58
  by
• 5:58
  the
• 5:58
  American
• 5:59
  science
• 6:00
  and
• 6:00
  fiction
• 6:01
  literature.
• 6:02
  Oh,
• 6:02
  what
• 6:03
  is
• 6:03
  their.
• 6:03
  What
• 6:03
  is
• 6:03
  their
• 6:03
  final
• 6:04
  title?
• 6:04
  Something
• 6:05
  like
• 6:05
  that.
• 6:05
  One
• 6:06
  of
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  organizations
• 6:07
  that
• 6:07
  determines
• 6:07
  these
• 6:07
  types
• 6:08
  of
• 6:08
  things
• 6:08
  says
• 6:09
  a
• 6:09
  novella
• 6:09
  is
• 6:09
  in
• 6:10
  between
• 6:10
  17,000
• 6:11
  and
• 6:11
  40,000
• 6:12
  words.
• 6:13
  Typically
• 6:14
  if
• 6:14
  it's
• 6:14
  250
• 6:15
  words
• 6:15
  a
• 6:15
  page,
• 6:16
  that's
• 6:16
  gonna
• 6:16
  be
• 6:17
  60
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  170
• 6:19
  pages.
• 6:19
  So
• 6:20
  we're
• 6:20
  sitting
• 6:20
  right
• 6:21
  there
• 6:21
  at
• 6:22
  a
• 6:22
  solid
• 6:23
  like
• 6:23
  27
• 6:24
  ish
• 6:24
  thousand
• 6:25
  words
• 6:25
  for
• 6:25
  I
• 6:25
  Am
• 6:26
  Legend.
• 6:26
  We're
• 6:26
  right
• 6:26
  in
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  sweet
• 6:27
  spot
• 6:27
  as
• 6:27
  far
• 6:28
  as
• 6:28
  I'm
• 6:28
  concerned.
• 6:29
  It
• 6:29
  is
• 6:30
  Weird.
• 6:30
  If
• 6:30
  you
• 6:30
  go
• 6:30
  pick
• 6:30
  up
• 6:30
  a
• 6:31
  copy
• 6:31
  of
• 6:31
  I
• 6:31
  Am
• 6:31
  Legend
• 6:32
  or
• 6:32
  if
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  want
• 6:33
  to,
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  know
• 6:33
  what.
• 6:33
  So
• 6:34
  what,
• 6:34
  Andy,
• 6:35
  what
• 6:35
  happened
• 6:35
  to
• 6:35
  you
• 6:36
  when
• 6:36
  we
• 6:36
  said,
• 6:36
  yeah,
• 6:37
  let's
• 6:37
  read
• 6:37
  I
• 6:37
  Am
• 6:37
  Legend?
• 6:38
  Well,
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  just
• 6:39
  wanted
• 6:39
  to
• 6:39
  make
• 6:39
  sure
• 6:39
  I
• 6:39
  was
• 6:40
  reading
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  same
• 6:40
  thing
• 6:40
  that
• 6:41
  everybody
• 6:41
  else
• 6:41
  was
• 6:42
  because
• 6:43
  I.
• 6:43
  One
• 6:43
  of
• 6:44
  our
• 6:44
  mutual
• 6:44
  friends
• 6:45
  pointed
• 6:45
  out
• 6:45
  that
• 6:47
  there
• 6:47
  were
• 6:47
  different
• 6:48
  editions
• 6:49
  with
• 6:49
  very
• 6:50
  different
• 6:50
  lengths.
• 6:51
  So
• 6:51
  I
• 6:51
  didn't
• 6:51
  want
• 6:51
  to
• 6:52
  read
• 6:52
  something
• 6:52
  that
• 6:53
  was
• 6:53
  only
• 6:53
  half
• 6:53
  of
• 6:53
  the
• 6:53
  story
• 6:54
  or
• 6:54
  read
• 6:54
  a
• 6:55
  whole
• 6:55
  bunch
• 6:55
  of
• 6:55
  things,
• 6:55
  read
• 6:55
  something
• 6:56
  that
• 6:56
  was
• 6:56
  longer,
• 6:56
  and
• 6:57
  then
• 6:57
  be
• 6:58
  talking
• 6:58
  about
• 6:58
  stuff
• 6:58
  that
• 6:58
  everybody
• 6:59
  else
• 6:59
  is
• 6:59
  going,
• 6:59
  what
• 6:59
  is
• 7:00
  that's
• 7:00
  not
• 7:00
  in
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  story.
• 7:01
  You're
• 7:01
  making
• 7:01
  things
• 7:02
  up.
• 7:02
  And
• 7:02
  so
• 7:02
  I
• 7:02
  want
• 7:03
  to
• 7:03
  make
• 7:03
  sure
• 7:03
  I
• 7:03
  was
• 7:03
  reading
• 7:03
  the
• 7:03
  right
• 7:03
  thing
• 7:04
  and
• 7:05
  didn't
• 7:06
  get
• 7:06
  a
• 7:06
  definitive
• 7:06
  answer
• 7:07
  on
• 7:07
  how
• 7:07
  to
• 7:08
  tell
• 7:08
  what
• 7:08
  I
• 7:08
  was
• 7:08
  looking
• 7:09
  for.
• 7:09
  So
• 7:09
  I
• 7:10
  finally
• 7:10
  just
• 7:10
  went
• 7:10
  to
• 7:10
  the
• 7:11
  library
• 7:11
  and.
• 7:12
  And
• 7:12
  discovered
• 7:13
  that
• 7:13
  there
• 7:14
  are
• 7:15
  print
• 7:15
  editions
• 7:16
  of
• 7:16
  I
• 7:17
  Am
• 7:17
  Legend
• 7:17
  that
• 7:18
  are
• 7:18
  titled
• 7:19
  I
• 7:19
  Am
• 7:19
  Legend.
• 7:20
  But
• 7:20
  when
• 7:21
  you
• 7:21
  open
• 7:21
  them
• 7:21
  up,
• 7:22
  they
• 7:22
  are
• 7:22
  in
• 7:22
  fact
• 7:23
  I
• 7:23
  Am
• 7:23
  Legend
• 7:24
  and
• 7:24
  Other
• 7:24
  Stories,
• 7:24
  which
• 7:25
  is
• 7:25
  also
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  title
• 7:26
  of
• 7:26
  a
• 7:26
  volume
• 7:26
  that
• 7:27
  you
• 7:27
  can
• 7:27
  purchase.
• 7:27
  But
• 7:27
  apparently
• 7:28
  somewhere
• 7:28
  along
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  line
• 7:29
  somebody
• 7:29
  went,
• 7:30
  people
• 7:30
  don't
• 7:30
  buy
• 7:31
  something
• 7:31
  with
• 7:31
  and
• 7:32
  other
• 7:32
  stories
• 7:32
  in
• 7:32
  the
• 7:33
  title.
• 7:33
  They
• 7:33
  will
• 7:33
  buy
• 7:33
  it
• 7:33
  if
• 7:34
  it
• 7:34
  is
• 7:34
  just
• 7:34
  called
• 7:34
  I
• 7:34
  Am
• 7:34
  Legend.
• 7:35
  They
• 7:35
  want
• 7:35
  to
• 7:35
  buy
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  book
• 7:36
  that
• 7:37
  goes
• 7:37
  with
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  movie
• 7:38
  that
• 7:38
  they
• 7:38
  saw
• 7:38
  with
• 7:38
  Will
• 7:38
  Smith
• 7:39
  in
• 7:39
  it.
• 7:39
  And
• 7:39
  so
• 7:39
  they
• 7:39
  put
• 7:40
  Will
• 7:40
  Smith
• 7:40
  on
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  COVID
• 7:41
  of
• 7:41
  this
• 7:41
  book.
• 7:41
  They
• 7:41
  called
• 7:42
  it
• 7:42
  I
• 7:42
  Am
• 7:42
  Legend.
• 7:43
  And
• 7:43
  then
• 7:43
  to
• 7:44
  make
• 7:44
  you
• 7:44
  feel
• 7:44
  like
• 7:44
  you're
• 7:44
  getting
• 7:45
  your
• 7:45
  money's
• 7:45
  worth
• 7:45
  and
• 7:46
  to
• 7:46
  make
• 7:46
  it
• 7:46
  300
• 7:47
  some
• 7:47
  odd
• 7:48
  pages
• 7:48
  long
• 7:48
  instead
• 7:48
  of
• 7:48
  170
• 7:49
  pages
• 7:49
  long,
• 7:50
  they
• 7:50
  put,
• 7:51
  I
• 7:51
  think
• 7:51
  it's
• 7:52
  eight
• 7:52
  other
• 7:52
  short
• 7:53
  stories
• 7:53
  by
• 7:54
  Matheson
• 7:54
  as
• 7:55
  well
• 7:55
  in
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  back
• 7:56
  there.
• 7:56
  And
• 7:57
  so
• 7:58
  you
• 7:58
  can
• 7:58
  look
• 7:58
  at
• 7:59
  it
• 7:59
  as
• 7:59
  bonus
• 7:59
  reading.
• 7:59
  You
• 8:00
  can
• 8:00
  look
• 8:00
  at
• 8:00
  it
• 8:00
  as
• 8:02
  pages
• 8:02
  that
• 8:03
  made
• 8:03
  this
• 8:03
  copy
• 8:03
  of
• 8:04
  I
• 8:04
  Am
• 8:04
  Legend
• 8:04
  more
• 8:04
  expensive
• 8:04
  than
• 8:05
  it
• 8:05
  needed
• 8:05
  to
• 8:05
  be.
• 8:06
  You
• 8:06
  can
• 8:06
  look
• 8:06
  at
• 8:06
  it
• 8:06
  however
• 8:07
  you
• 8:07
  see,
• 8:07
  you
• 8:08
  feel
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  need
• 8:08
  to.
• 8:08
  But
• 8:08
  it
• 8:08
  turns
• 8:09
  out
• 8:09
  there's
• 8:09
  really
• 8:09
  only
• 8:10
  one
• 8:10
  version
• 8:11
  of
• 8:11
  the
• 8:11
  text.
• 8:11
  It
• 8:12
  is
• 8:12
  just
• 8:12
  packaged
• 8:13
  in
• 8:13
  very
• 8:13
  different
• 8:13
  ways.
• 8:14
  Yeah,
• 8:14
  because
• 8:14
  I
• 8:15
  didn't
• 8:15
  know
• 8:15
  how
• 8:15
  to
• 8:15
  answer
• 8:15
  that
• 8:16
  question.
• 8:16
  I
• 8:16
  was
• 8:16
  like,
• 8:17
  I
• 8:17
  have
• 8:17
  no
• 8:17
  clue.
• 8:17
  I
• 8:18
  read
• 8:18
  most
• 8:19
  things
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  read
• 8:19
  online
• 8:19
  these
• 8:20
  days.
• 8:20
  Like,
• 8:20
  I
• 8:21
  just
• 8:21
  look
• 8:21
  it
• 8:22
  up
• 8:22
  and
• 8:22
  if
• 8:22
  I
• 8:22
  have
• 8:22
  to
• 8:22
  buy
• 8:22
  it,
• 8:23
  I
• 8:23
  buy
• 8:23
  it.
• 8:23
  And
• 8:23
  then
• 8:23
  I
• 8:24
  just
• 8:24
  read
• 8:24
  it.
• 8:25
  I
• 8:25
  had
• 8:26
  no
• 8:26
  clue.
• 8:26
  But
• 8:27
  that's
• 8:28
  just
• 8:28
  the
• 8:28
  kind
• 8:28
  of
• 8:28
  thing
• 8:28
  that
• 8:29
  happens
• 8:29
  when
• 8:29
  you're
• 8:29
  trying
• 8:30
  to
• 8:30
  read
• 8:30
  a
• 8:31
  short
• 8:31
  story
• 8:32
  by
• 8:32
  an
• 8:32
  author
• 8:32
  from
• 8:33
  like
• 8:33
  70
• 8:33
  years
• 8:34
  ago.
• 8:34
  They
• 8:35
  feel
• 8:35
  like
• 8:35
  no
• 8:35
  one
• 8:35
  wants
• 8:36
  to
• 8:36
  pay
• 8:36
  for,
• 8:36
  you
• 8:37
  know,
• 8:37
  90,
• 8:38
  60,
• 8:39
  40
• 8:40
  pages
• 8:40
  of
• 8:41
  story,
• 8:42
  so
• 8:42
  they
• 8:42
  just
• 8:42
  bundle
• 8:43
  it
• 8:43
  in
• 8:43
  with
• 8:43
  a
• 8:43
  bunch
• 8:43
  of
• 8:44
  other
• 8:44
  things.
• 8:45
  I
• 8:45
  think
• 8:45
  it's
• 8:45
  fun,
• 8:46
  you
• 8:46
  know,
• 8:46
  it's
• 8:46
  nice
• 8:46
  to
• 8:47
  end
• 8:47
  up
• 8:47
  with
• 8:47
  some
• 8:47
  extra
• 8:47
  stuff
• 8:48
  to
• 8:48
  read.
• 8:48
  I
• 8:49
  like
• 8:49
  that
• 8:49
  because
• 8:50
  instead
• 8:50
  of
• 8:50
  finishing
• 8:51
  the
• 8:51
  book
• 8:51
  and
• 8:51
  then
• 8:51
  thinking,
• 8:52
  man,
• 8:52
  what
• 8:52
  do
• 8:52
  I
• 8:52
  do
• 8:52
  now?
• 8:53
  You
• 8:53
  just
• 8:53
  keep
• 8:53
  going.
• 8:54
  So
• 8:54
  personally,
• 8:55
  I'm
• 8:55
  a
• 8:55
  fan,
• 8:56
  but
• 8:57
  Andy,
• 8:58
  do
• 8:58
  you
• 8:58
  have
• 8:58
  any
• 8:59
  previous
• 8:59
  history
• 8:59
  with
• 9:00
  Robert
• 9:00
  Matheson
• 9:01
  and
• 9:02
  what
• 9:03
  previously
• 9:04
  was
• 9:04
  your
• 9:04
  exposure
• 9:05
  to
• 9:05
  I
• 9:05
  Am
• 9:05
  Legend?
• 9:06
  As
• 9:07
  you
• 9:07
  can
• 9:07
  probably
• 9:07
  guess,
• 9:08
  I
• 9:08
  had
• 9:08
  not
• 9:08
  read
• 9:08
  the
• 9:09
  book
• 9:09
  previously
• 9:10
  and
• 9:11
  that's
• 9:11
  why
• 9:11
  I
• 9:11
  had
• 9:12
  such
• 9:12
  basic
• 9:13
  questions
• 9:13
  about
• 9:13
  how
• 9:13
  to
• 9:13
  paint
• 9:14
  it.
• 9:14
  Yeah,
• 9:15
  I.
• 9:15
  I
• 9:16
  was
• 9:16
  aware
• 9:16
  of
• 9:17
  the
• 9:17
  book
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  aware
• 9:18
  of
• 9:18
  the
• 9:18
  story,
• 9:19
  but
• 9:19
  I
• 9:20
  had
• 9:20
  not
• 9:20
  read
• 9:20
  it.
• 9:20
  I
• 9:20
  have
• 9:21
  not
• 9:21
  seen
• 9:21
  any
• 9:21
  of
• 9:21
  the
• 9:22
  adaptations
• 9:23
  that
• 9:24
  have
• 9:24
  been
• 9:24
  mentioned.
• 9:25
  So
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  came
• 9:26
  into
• 9:26
  this
• 9:26
  completely.
• 9:27
  Well,
• 9:27
  not
• 9:27
  completely
• 9:27
  cold
• 9:28
  just
• 9:29
  from
• 9:30
  living
• 9:31
  in
• 9:31
  the
• 9:31
  world.
• 9:31
  I
• 9:32
  knew
• 9:32
  a
• 9:32
  few
• 9:32
  things
• 9:32
  about
• 9:33
  the
• 9:33
  story
• 9:35
  because
• 9:35
  having
• 9:36
  heard
• 9:36
  people
• 9:36
  talk
• 9:36
  about
• 9:37
  the
• 9:37
  movie,
• 9:38
  so
• 9:38
  I
• 9:38
  was
• 9:38
  not
• 9:39
  completely
• 9:40
  unaware
• 9:41
  of
• 9:42
  it.
• 9:42
  And
• 9:42
  I've
• 9:42
  obviously
• 9:43
  interacted
• 9:44
  with
• 9:44
  things
• 9:45
  that
• 9:46
  derive
• 9:47
  from
• 9:47
  it
• 9:47
  or
• 9:47
  that
• 9:47
  were
• 9:47
  influenced
• 9:48
  from
• 9:48
  it.
• 9:50
  And
• 9:50
  so
• 9:51
  to
• 9:51
  me,
• 9:51
  it
• 9:52
  kind
• 9:52
  of
• 9:52
  falls
• 9:52
  into
• 9:53
  that
• 9:53
  hole
• 9:54
  that.
• 9:55
  What
• 9:55
  was
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  name
• 9:56
  of
• 9:56
  that
• 9:56
  movie,
• 9:57
  the
• 9:58
  John
• 9:58
  Carter
• 9:58
  of
• 9:58
  Mars
• 9:59
  film
• 10:00
  fell
• 10:00
  into
• 10:01
  a
• 10:01
  few
• 10:01
  years
• 10:02
  ago,
• 10:02
  where
• 10:04
  everybody
• 10:05
  who
• 10:05
  knows
• 10:05
  such
• 10:05
  things
• 10:05
  or
• 10:06
  as
• 10:06
  a
• 10:06
  student
• 10:06
  of
• 10:07
  such
• 10:07
  things,
• 10:07
  goes,
• 10:07
  oh,
• 10:07
  John
• 10:07
  Carter
• 10:08
  of
• 10:08
  Mars,
• 10:08
  very
• 10:09
  influential
• 10:09
  science
• 10:10
  fiction
• 10:10
  novel
• 10:10
  from
• 10:11
  many
• 10:11
  years
• 10:11
  ago.
• 10:12
  But
• 10:12
  when
• 10:13
  you
• 10:13
  see
• 10:13
  it
• 10:13
  in
• 10:14
  2012
• 10:15
  or
• 10:15
  whatever
• 10:16
  it
• 10:16
  was
• 10:16
  that
• 10:16
  that
• 10:16
  movie
• 10:16
  came
• 10:16
  out,
• 10:16
  you
• 10:17
  go,
• 10:17
  well,
• 10:17
  this
• 10:17
  feels
• 10:17
  like
• 10:17
  a
• 10:18
  ripoff
• 10:18
  of
• 10:18
  Star
• 10:18
  wars
• 10:19
  and
• 10:19
  Dune
• 10:19
  and
• 10:19
  all
• 10:20
  these
• 10:20
  other
• 10:20
  things
• 10:20
  that
• 10:22
  heavily
• 10:22
  influenced
• 10:23
  by
• 10:23
  it.
• 10:24
  And
• 10:24
  so,
• 10:24
  yeah,
• 10:25
  it's
• 10:25
  a
• 10:25
  little
• 10:25
  bit
• 10:26
  tricky
• 10:26
  coming
• 10:26
  to
• 10:26
  I
• 10:27
  Am
• 10:27
  Legend
• 10:28
  in
• 10:28
  the
• 10:28
  same
• 10:29
  fashion.
• 10:30
  It's
• 10:30
  hard
• 10:30
  to
• 10:30
  appreciate
• 10:31
  what
• 10:31
  I
• 10:31
  gather
• 10:32
  to
• 10:32
  be
• 10:32
  fairly
• 10:33
  original
• 10:33
  features
• 10:34
  of
• 10:34
  it
• 10:34
  because
• 10:35
  it
• 10:35
  has
• 10:35
  so
• 10:36
  strongly
• 10:36
  influenced
• 10:38
  most
• 10:39
  zombie
• 10:39
  and
• 10:39
  vampire
• 10:40
  things
• 10:40
  that
• 10:40
  have
• 10:41
  come
• 10:41
  since.
• 10:41
  Yeah,
• 10:42
  it
• 10:42
  is
• 10:42
  really
• 10:43
  interesting
• 10:43
  going
• 10:43
  back
• 10:44
  to
• 10:45
  just
• 10:45
  a
• 10:46
  1954
• 10:47
  novella
• 10:47
  and
• 10:48
  you're
• 10:48
  like,
• 10:48
  oh,
• 10:48
  is
• 10:48
  this
• 10:48
  where
• 10:49
  that
• 10:49
  started?
• 10:50
  Cool.
• 10:51
  And
• 10:51
  if
• 10:51
  you
• 10:51
  want
• 10:52
  to
• 10:52
  talk
• 10:52
  about
• 10:52
  range,
• 10:53
  Edgar
• 10:53
  Rice
• 10:54
  Burroughs
• 10:55
  writing
• 10:55
  Tarzan
• 10:56
  and
• 10:56
  John
• 10:57
  Carter
• 10:57
  of
• 10:57
  Mars,
• 10:58
  sure.
• 10:58
  That's
• 10:59
  crazy.
• 10:59
  That's
• 10:59
  insane.
• 11:00
  That's.
• 11:01
  That's
• 11:01
  a
• 11:01
  real
• 11:01
  author.
• 11:03
  But
• 11:04
  do
• 11:04
  you
• 11:05
  want
• 11:05
  to.
• 11:05
  Can
• 11:05
  you
• 11:05
  summarize
• 11:06
  I
• 11:06
  Am
• 11:06
  Legend
• 11:06
  for
• 11:07
  us
• 11:07
  really
• 11:07
  quick?
• 11:07
  And
• 11:08
  then
• 11:08
  we'll.
• 11:08
  We'll
• 11:08
  start
• 11:09
  breaking
• 11:09
  it
• 11:09
  down
• 11:09
  and
• 11:09
  dissecting
• 11:11
  Robert
• 11:11
  Neville
• 11:12
  and
• 11:12
  the,
• 11:13
  you
• 11:13
  know,
• 11:13
  the
• 11:14
  literature
• 11:14
  as
• 11:14
  a
• 11:14
  whole.
• 11:15
  Sure.
• 11:16
  How
• 11:16
  spoilery
• 11:17
  are
• 11:17
  we
• 11:17
  comfortable
• 11:18
  being
• 11:18
  with
• 11:18
  a
• 11:18
  70
• 11:18
  year
• 11:19
  old
• 11:19
  novella?
• 11:21
  It
• 11:21
  is
• 11:22
  71
• 11:22
  years
• 11:22
  old.
• 11:23
  If
• 11:23
  you
• 11:23
  didn't
• 11:24
  read
• 11:24
  it
• 11:24
  or
• 11:24
  watch
• 11:25
  any
• 11:25
  of
• 11:25
  the
• 11:25
  movies
• 11:26
  at
• 11:26
  this
• 11:26
  point,
• 11:27
  you
• 11:28
  lost
• 11:28
  your
• 11:28
  chance.
• 11:28
  If
• 11:28
  you're
• 11:29
  gonna
• 11:29
  listen.
• 12:58
  Yeah,
• 12:59
  but
• 12:59
  you
• 12:59
  know,
• 13:00
  sympathy
• 13:00
  for
• 13:00
  me,
• 13:00
  because
• 13:01
  I
• 13:01
  was
• 13:01
  a
• 13:02
  newbie
• 13:02
  as

  So,

  yeah,

  I
• 13:05
  am.
• 13:05
  Legend

  Last

  The

  nomenclature
• 13:16
  is

  has
• 13:24
  turned
• 13:24
  people
• 13:24
  into
• 13:25
  vampires.
• 13:26
  And
• 13:27
  so
• 13:27
  he
• 13:27
  lives
• 13:27
  alone
• 13:28
  in

  his

  house,
• 13:29
  which

  he

  his

  daily
• 13:35
  routine
• 13:35
  is

  that

  And

  sort
• 13:50
  of
• 13:50
  vampire
• 13:50
  taunting

  forth
• 13:51
  out
• 13:52
  in
• 13:52
  the

  streets.

  And

  yeah,
• 13:54
  that
• 13:54
  just
• 13:55
  kind
• 13:55
  of
• 13:55
  goes
• 13:55
  on
• 13:55
  day
• 13:55
  after
• 13:56
  day.
• 13:56
  And
• 13:57
  so
• 13:57
  part
• 13:57
  of
• 13:57
  the
• 13:57
  story
• 13:57
  is
• 13:58
  just
• 13:58
  kind
• 13:58
  of
• 13:58
  giving
• 13:58
  you
• 13:58
  the
• 13:58
  flavor
• 13:59
  of
• 13:59
  the
• 13:59
  bleakness
• 14:00
  of
• 14:00
  what
• 14:00
  it
• 14:00
  would
• 14:00
  be
• 14:00
  like
• 14:00
  to
• 14:01
  be
• 14:01
  the
• 14:01
  only
• 14:01
  person
• 14:01
  who
• 14:01
  has
• 14:02
  survived
• 14:03
  this
• 14:03
  infection
• 14:03
  and
• 14:03
  not
• 14:04
  become
• 14:04
  a
• 14:04
  vampire.
• 14:05
  What
• 14:05
  he's
• 14:06
  been,
• 14:06
  you
• 14:06
  know.
• 14:06
  And
• 14:07
  over
• 14:07
  the
• 14:07
  course
• 14:07
  of
• 14:07
  the
• 14:08
  story
• 14:08
  you
• 14:08
  get
• 14:08
  flashbacks
• 14:08
  to
• 14:09
  what
• 14:09
  he
• 14:09
  went
• 14:09
  through
• 14:10
  to
• 14:10
  get
• 14:10
  to
• 14:10
  that
• 14:10
  point
• 14:10
  right
• 14:10
  when
• 14:11
  the
• 14:11
  story
• 14:11
  starts,
• 14:12
  he's
• 14:12
  already
• 14:12
  in
• 14:12
  that
• 14:13
  last
• 14:14
  known
• 14:14
  survivor
• 14:15
  position.
• 14:16
  But
• 14:17
  we
• 14:18
  learn
• 14:18
  about
• 14:18
  his
• 14:19
  wife,
• 14:19
  his
• 14:20
  daughter,
• 14:21
  his
• 14:21
  neighbors
• 14:21
  and
• 14:21
  so
• 14:22
  forth
• 14:22
  over
• 14:22
  the
• 14:22
  course
• 14:22
  of
• 14:22
  the
• 14:23
  story
• 14:23
  and
• 14:23
  flashback
• 14:23
  to
• 14:23
  all
• 14:24
  the
• 14:24
  challenging,
• 14:25
  traumatic
• 14:25
  and
• 14:26
  gut
• 14:26
  wrenching
• 14:26
  things
• 14:27
  that
• 14:27
  he
• 14:27
  went
• 14:27
  through
• 14:28
  to
• 14:28
  be
• 14:28
  in
• 14:28
  that
• 14:28
  position.
• 14:30
  We
• 14:30
  see
• 14:30
  what
• 14:30
  it
• 14:30
  takes
• 14:31
  on
• 14:31
  a
• 14:31
  day
• 14:31
  to
• 14:31
  day
• 14:31
  basis
• 14:32
  for
• 14:32
  him
• 14:32
  to
• 14:32
  just
• 14:32
  kind
• 14:32
  of
• 14:32
  survive
• 14:33
  under
• 14:33
  those
• 14:33
  conditions.
• 14:35
  And
• 14:35
  then
• 14:36
  over
• 14:36
  time,
• 14:38
  he
• 14:39
  conducts
• 14:39
  a
• 14:40
  fairly
• 14:41
  detailed
• 14:41
  scientific
• 14:42
  investigation
• 14:42
  to
• 14:42
  try
• 14:43
  to
• 14:43
  understand
• 14:43
  what
• 14:43
  it
• 14:43
  is
• 14:43
  that
• 14:44
  happened.
• 14:44
  So
• 14:44
  that's
• 14:45
  how
• 14:45
  we
• 14:45
  know
• 14:45
  that
• 14:45
  it
• 14:46
  was
• 14:46
  a
• 14:46
  bacterial
• 14:46
  infection.
• 14:47
  And
• 14:48
  that
• 14:49
  feels
• 14:49
  to
• 14:49
  me
• 14:49
  like,
• 14:50
  and
• 14:50
  perhaps
• 14:51
  because
• 14:51
  of
• 14:51
  my
• 14:51
  bias,
• 14:52
  that
• 14:52
  feels
• 14:52
  to
• 14:52
  me
• 14:52
  like
• 14:52
  the
• 14:52
  heart
• 14:52
  of
• 14:53
  what
• 14:54
  got
• 14:54
  Matheson
• 14:55
  motivated
• 14:56
  to
• 14:56
  write
• 14:56
  this
• 14:56
  story.
• 14:57
  Just
• 14:57
  because
• 14:57
  he
• 14:57
  spends
• 14:58
  so
• 14:58
  much
• 14:58
  detail
• 14:58
  on
• 14:59
  it,
• 14:59
  is
• 15:00
  trying
• 15:00
  to
• 15:01
  take,
• 15:01
  trying
• 15:02
  to
• 15:02
  start
• 15:02
  with,
• 15:02
  okay,
• 15:03
  let's
• 15:03
  say
• 15:03
  that
• 15:03
  there
• 15:04
  are
• 15:04
  actually
• 15:04
  vampires
• 15:05
  in
• 15:05
  the,
• 15:05
  in
• 15:05
  the
• 15:06
  real
• 15:06
  world
• 15:07
  of
• 15:07
  1954
• 15:09
  or
• 15:09
  thereabouts.
• 15:10
  What,
• 15:10
  what
• 15:11
  would
• 15:11
  actually
• 15:11
  that
• 15:12
  look
• 15:12
  like?
• 15:12
  How
• 15:12
  would
• 15:12
  that
• 15:13
  actually
• 15:13
  be
• 15:13
  caused?
• 15:14
  How
• 15:14
  could
• 15:14
  we
• 15:14
  explain
• 15:15
  that?
• 15:15
  And
• 15:16
  so,
• 15:16
  you
• 15:17
  know,
• 15:17
  it
• 15:17
  takes
• 15:17
  all
• 15:17
  of
• 15:18
  the
• 15:19
  quote
• 15:19
  unquote
• 15:20
  classic
• 15:20
  vampire
• 15:20
  traits.
• 15:22
  Being
• 15:22
  afraid
• 15:22
  of
• 15:23
  garlic,
• 15:25
  being
• 15:25
  killed,
• 15:26
  only
• 15:27
  susceptible
• 15:27
  to
• 15:27
  the
• 15:27
  stake,
• 15:28
  to
• 15:28
  the
• 15:28
  heart,
• 15:30
  not
• 15:32
  tolerating
• 15:32
  reflections,
• 15:34
  all
• 15:35
  these
• 15:35
  kinds
• 15:35
  of
• 15:35
  things.
• 15:36
  Being
• 15:36
  able
• 15:36
  to
• 15:36
  turn
• 15:36
  into
• 15:37
  a
• 15:37
  bat.
• 15:37
  And
• 15:37
  kind
• 15:38
  of
• 15:38
  explores
• 15:38
  first
• 15:39
  of
• 15:39
  all,
• 15:39
  just
• 15:39
  which
• 15:39
  of
• 15:40
  these
• 15:40
  things
• 15:40
  actually
• 15:40
  are
• 15:40
  true
• 15:41
  and
• 15:41
  which
• 15:41
  of
• 15:41
  them
• 15:41
  are
• 15:41
  not.
• 15:41
  For
• 15:41
  example,
• 15:42
  he
• 15:42
  pretty
• 15:43
  much
• 15:43
  tosses
• 15:44
  out
• 15:44
  the
• 15:44
  notion
• 15:44
  that
• 15:44
  they
• 15:45
  can
• 15:45
  turn
• 15:45
  into
• 15:45
  bats,
• 15:48
  and
• 15:48
  then
• 15:48
  which
• 15:48
  of
• 15:49
  these
• 15:49
  things
• 15:49
  could
• 15:49
  be
• 15:49
  explained
• 15:50
  by
• 15:50
  this
• 15:50
  bacterial
• 15:51
  infection,
• 15:51
  which
• 15:52
  of
• 15:52
  these
• 15:52
  things
• 15:52
  are
• 15:53
  psychological
• 15:54
  and
• 15:54
  so
• 15:54
  forth.
• 15:54
  So
• 15:54
  there's
• 15:55
  several
• 15:56
  lengthy
• 15:56
  passages
• 15:57
  in
• 15:57
  which
• 15:57
  he
• 15:57
  kind
• 15:57
  of
• 15:58
  explores
• 15:58
  how
• 15:59
  to
• 15:59
  explain
• 16:00
  away
• 16:00
  These
• 16:01
  different
• 16:01
  vampiric
• 16:02
  phenomena.
• 16:04
  And
• 16:04
  then,
• 16:04
  yeah,
• 16:06
  as
• 16:07
  he's
• 16:07
  conducting
• 16:07
  this
• 16:07
  investigation,
• 16:09
  he
• 16:09
  has
• 16:09
  some
• 16:09
  different
• 16:10
  encounters
• 16:10
  with
• 16:10
  a
• 16:11
  couple
• 16:11
  of
• 16:11
  different
• 16:11
  notable
• 16:13
  vampire
• 16:13
  characters.
• 16:15
  And
• 16:15
  by
• 16:15
  the
• 16:15
  end
• 16:15
  of
• 16:15
  the
• 16:16
  story,
• 16:18
  the
• 16:18
  bacterial
• 16:19
  infection
• 16:19
  has
• 16:20
  shifted
• 16:21
  and
• 16:22
  the
• 16:22
  infected
• 16:22
  humans
• 16:23
  relationship
• 16:23
  to
• 16:23
  us
• 16:24
  has
• 16:24
  shifted
• 16:24
  such
• 16:24
  that
• 16:25
  they
• 16:25
  are
• 16:25
  a
• 16:25
  bit
• 16:25
  more
• 16:26
  in
• 16:27
  control
• 16:27
  of
• 16:27
  their
• 16:27
  own
• 16:28
  choices
• 16:29
  and
• 16:30
  they
• 16:30
  are
• 16:31
  starting
• 16:31
  to
• 16:31
  form
• 16:31
  their
• 16:31
  own
• 16:32
  society.
• 16:34
  In
• 16:34
  which
• 16:34
  he
• 16:35
  realizes
• 16:36
  that
• 16:36
  he
• 16:36
  is
• 16:36
  viewed
• 16:37
  as
• 16:37
  the
• 16:37
  sort
• 16:38
  of
• 16:38
  mythical
• 16:38
  monster
• 16:39
  who
• 16:40
  has
• 16:40
  gone
• 16:40
  around
• 16:40
  killing
• 16:41
  these
• 16:41
  vampires
• 16:41
  when
• 16:42
  they're
• 16:42
  trying
• 16:42
  to
• 16:43
  create
• 16:43
  their
• 16:43
  own
• 16:44
  society.
• 16:44
  I
• 16:45
  guess
• 16:45
  I
• 16:45
  left
• 16:45
  out
• 16:45
  that
• 16:45
  bit
• 16:45
  that
• 16:46
  he
• 16:46
  spent
• 16:46
  a
• 16:47
  big
• 16:47
  part
• 16:47
  of
• 16:47
  his
• 16:47
  days
• 16:47
  also
• 16:48
  is
• 16:48
  just
• 16:48
  going
• 16:48
  around
• 16:48
  and
• 16:48
  staking
• 16:49
  vampires
• 16:49
  where
• 16:50
  they
• 16:50
  sleep
• 16:50
  so
• 16:51
  that
• 16:51
  he
• 16:51
  doesn't
• 16:51
  have
• 16:51
  to
• 16:51
  deal
• 16:51
  with
• 16:52
  them
• 16:52
  in
• 16:52
  the
• 16:52
  night.
• 16:54
  And.
• 16:55
  Yeah,
• 16:55
  so
• 16:57
  thereby
• 16:57
  we
• 16:58
  get
• 16:58
  the
• 16:58
  title
• 16:58
  I
• 16:58
  Am
• 16:58
  Legend.
• 16:59
  Because
• 16:59
  he
• 16:59
  realizes
• 17:00
  that
• 17:00
  he
• 17:00
  has
• 17:01
  passed
• 17:01
  out
• 17:02
  of.
• 17:02
  He's
• 17:02
  become
• 17:02
  the
• 17:03
  legend,
• 17:03
  the
• 17:03
  myth,
• 17:03
  the
• 17:03
  monster,
• 17:04
  and
• 17:06
  to
• 17:06
  this
• 17:06
  newly
• 17:08
  emerging
• 17:08
  society.
• 17:10
  Yeah,
• 17:10
  so
• 17:11
  I
• 17:11
  was
• 17:11
  reading
• 17:11
  it
• 17:11
  and
• 17:11
  I
• 17:12
  got
• 17:12
  to
• 17:12
  the
• 17:13
  final
• 17:13
  passage
• 17:14
  this
• 17:14
  most
• 17:15
  recent
• 17:15
  time.
• 17:15
  I've
• 17:16
  read
• 17:16
  it
• 17:16
  once
• 17:16
  before,
• 17:16
  like,
• 17:17
  years
• 17:17
  ago,
• 17:18
  just
• 17:18
  because
• 17:18
  I
• 17:18
  was
• 17:19
  looking
• 17:20
  for
• 17:20
  something
• 17:20
  to
• 17:20
  read.
• 17:21
  But
• 17:21
  this
• 17:22
  most
• 17:22
  recent
• 17:22
  time,
• 17:22
  I
• 17:23
  got
• 17:23
  to
• 17:23
  the
• 17:23
  end
• 17:24
  and
• 17:24
  I
• 17:24
  thought,
• 17:25
  you
• 17:25
  know,
• 17:25
  like,
• 17:26
  thought
• 17:26
  to
• 17:27
  myself,
• 17:27
  like,
• 17:27
  wow,
• 17:28
  how
• 17:28
  subversive.
• 17:28
  And
• 17:29
  I
• 17:29
  was
• 17:29
  like,
• 17:29
  no,
• 17:30
  actually,
• 17:32
  I
• 17:32
  don't
• 17:32
  think
• 17:32
  that
• 17:33
  is.
• 17:33
  That's
• 17:33
  not
• 17:33
  subversive.
• 17:34
  He's
• 17:34
  like
• 17:34
  the
• 17:34
  first
• 17:34
  person
• 17:35
  to
• 17:35
  do
• 17:35
  it
• 17:36
  like
• 17:36
  this.
• 17:37
  There
• 17:37
  wasn't
• 17:38
  anything
• 17:38
  to
• 17:38
  subvert
• 17:39
  at
• 17:39
  the
• 17:40
  time,
• 17:40
  you
• 17:41
  know,
• 17:42
  but
• 17:42
  it
• 17:42
  is
• 17:42
  really
• 17:43
  interesting.
• 17:43
  I
• 17:43
  love
• 17:44
  it
• 17:44
  when
• 17:44
  an
• 17:44
  author
• 17:45
  just
• 17:46
  goes
• 17:46
  super,
• 17:47
  super
• 17:47
  in
• 17:47
  depth
• 17:48
  on
• 17:49
  something
• 17:49
  that
• 17:49
  the
• 17:49
  story's
• 17:50
  just
• 17:50
  not
• 17:50
  about.
• 17:51
  Like,
• 17:51
  it
• 17:52
  really
• 17:52
  does
• 17:52
  feel
• 17:52
  like
• 17:53
  sometimes
• 17:53
  that
• 17:53
  Matheson
• 17:54
  wanted
• 17:54
  to
• 17:54
  write
• 17:54
  a
• 17:54
  medical
• 17:55
  journal
• 17:55
  instead
• 17:56
  of
• 17:57
  a
• 17:57
  vampire
• 17:57
  novel.
• 17:59
  I'll
• 18:00
  get,
• 18:00
  like,
• 18:00
  the
• 18:00
  same
• 18:00
  vibe.
• 18:00
  Have
• 18:01
  you
• 18:01
  ever
• 18:01
  read
• 18:01
  the
• 18:01
  Road
• 18:02
  by
• 18:02
  Cormac
• 18:03
  McCarthy
• 18:03
  or
• 18:04
  Blood
• 18:04
  Meridian?
• 18:04
  Blood
• 18:05
  Meridian.
• 18:07
  So
• 18:07
  much
• 18:07
  of
• 18:07
  Blood
• 18:07
  Meridian
• 18:08
  is
• 18:08
  just,
• 18:08
  like,
• 18:08
  incredibly
• 18:10
  vivid
• 18:11
  descriptions
• 18:12
  of
• 18:13
  the
• 18:13
  area.
• 18:14
  Like
• 18:14
  mesas
• 18:15
  in
• 18:15
  Arizona.
• 18:15
  It's
• 18:16
  beautiful
• 18:16
  language.
• 18:17
  And
• 18:17
  then
• 18:17
  the
• 18:17
  rest
• 18:17
  of
• 18:18
  it
• 18:18
  is
• 18:19
  atrocities.
• 18:20
  Just
• 18:21
  genuinely
• 18:21
  awful
• 18:21
  things
• 18:22
  happening
• 18:22
  to
• 18:22
  good
• 18:23
  people.
• 18:24
  But,
• 18:24
  you
• 18:24
  know,
• 18:25
  get
• 18:25
  those
• 18:25
  nice
• 18:25
  little
• 18:25
  parts
• 18:26
  where
• 18:26
  he
• 18:26
  describes
• 18:26
  how
• 18:26
  beautifully
• 18:27
  the
• 18:27
  sun
• 18:27
  sets
• 18:27
  and
• 18:28
  how
• 18:28
  the
• 18:29
  animals
• 18:29
  treat
• 18:29
  the
• 18:29
  world.
• 18:30
  I
• 18:30
  love
• 18:30
  it
• 18:30
  when
• 18:30
  authors
• 18:31
  do
• 18:31
  that.
• 18:32
  But
• 18:33
  some
• 18:34
  of
• 18:34
  it,
• 18:34
  I
• 18:34
  love
• 18:34
  reading
• 18:35
  old
• 18:35
  literature
• 18:36
  too,
• 18:37
  because
• 18:37
  this
• 18:37
  is
• 18:37
  1954.
• 18:39
  He
• 18:40
  talks
• 18:40
  about
• 18:41
  his
• 18:41
  car,
• 18:42
  his
• 18:42
  Willis,
• 18:43
  his
• 18:43
  Willis
• 18:44
  station
• 18:44
  wagon,
• 18:45
  because
• 18:45
  there
• 18:45
  weren't
• 18:45
  Jeeps
• 18:46
  yet.
• 18:46
  It
• 18:47
  was
• 18:47
  Willis.
• 18:48
  I
• 18:48
  love
• 18:48
  that.
• 18:48
  That's
• 18:49
  so
• 18:49
  fun.
• 18:50
  And
• 18:50
  you
• 18:50
  have
• 18:51
  a
• 18:51
  unique
• 18:51
  perspective
• 18:52
  because
• 18:53
  Robert
• 18:54
  Neville
• 18:54
  does
• 18:54
  get
• 18:54
  into,
• 18:55
  like,
• 18:55
  immunology,
• 18:57
  that
• 18:57
  microbiology,
• 18:58
  that's.
• 18:59
  He
• 18:59
  kind
• 18:59
  of
• 18:59
  gets
• 19:00
  driven
• 19:00
  into
• 19:00
  that
• 19:00
  state
• 19:00
  where
• 19:01
  he
• 19:01
  needs
• 19:01
  to
• 19:01
  know
• 19:01
  More
• 19:01
  about
• 19:02
  the
• 19:02
  vampires,
• 19:03
  like
• 19:03
  you
• 19:03
  said.
• 19:03
  He
• 19:04
  starts
• 19:04
  dissecting
• 19:05
  what
• 19:05
  is
• 19:05
  real,
• 19:05
  what
• 19:06
  is
• 19:06
  myth.
• 19:07
  And
• 19:07
  at
• 19:08
  this
• 19:08
  point
• 19:08
  in
• 19:08
  1954,
• 19:11
  it's
• 19:11
  just.
• 19:12
  It's
• 19:12
  awesome.
• 19:13
  He's,
• 19:13
  like,
• 19:13
  here
• 19:13
  to
• 19:13
  deconstruct
• 19:14
  the
• 19:14
  vampire
• 19:15
  myth
• 19:15
  before
• 19:15
  it
• 19:16
  really
• 19:16
  even
• 19:17
  gets
• 19:18
  started
• 19:18
  in
• 19:19
  pop
• 19:19
  culture.
• 19:20
  Which
• 19:21
  is
• 19:21
  not
• 19:21
  to
• 19:21
  say,
• 19:22
  you
• 19:22
  know,
• 19:22
  Dracula,
• 19:22
  Nosferatu
• 19:23
  weren't
• 19:24
  around
• 19:24
  already.
• 19:25
  Even
• 19:25
  Neville
• 19:27
  quotes
• 19:27
  Dracula,
• 19:28
  the
• 19:29
  book
• 19:29
  in
• 19:30
  I
• 19:30
  Am
• 19:30
  Legend.
• 19:31
  But
• 19:32
  it's
• 19:32
  cool.
• 19:32
  He'll,
• 19:33
  like,
• 19:33
  kidnap
• 19:34
  a
• 19:34
  vampire
• 19:34
  that
• 19:35
  he
• 19:35
  knows
• 19:37
  was
• 19:37
  not
• 19:38
  Christian
• 19:38
  to
• 19:39
  see
• 19:39
  if
• 19:39
  a
• 19:39
  cross,
• 19:40
  you
• 19:41
  know,
• 19:41
  affects
• 19:41
  them
• 19:41
  at
• 19:41
  all.
• 19:42
  And
• 19:42
  it
• 19:42
  doesn't.
• 19:44
  He's.
• 19:44
  As
• 19:45
  he's
• 19:45
  researching
• 19:45
  the
• 19:45
  vampires,
• 19:46
  he
• 19:46
  gets.
• 19:48
  You
• 19:48
  know,
• 19:48
  he
• 19:48
  starts
• 19:48
  going
• 19:49
  through
• 19:49
  his
• 19:49
  memories,
• 19:50
  and
• 19:50
  he
• 19:50
  remembers
• 19:51
  a
• 19:51
  vampire
• 19:51
  tried
• 19:52
  to
• 19:52
  climb
• 19:52
  a
• 19:52
  light
• 19:53
  pole
• 19:54
  and
• 19:54
  fly
• 19:55
  onto
• 19:55
  his
• 19:55
  roof
• 19:55
  by
• 19:56
  flapping
• 19:56
  his
• 19:56
  wings.
• 19:57
  And
• 19:58
  that's
• 19:58
  because
• 19:58
  the
• 19:58
  vampire
• 19:59
  thought
• 19:59
  he
• 19:59
  could
• 19:59
  turn
• 20:00
  into
• 20:00
  a
• 20:00
  bat
• 20:00
  because
• 20:01
  they,
• 20:01
  too,
• 20:01
  were
• 20:01
  susceptible
• 20:02
  to
• 20:02
  the
• 20:02
  myth
• 20:03
  of
• 20:03
  the
• 20:03
  vampire.
• 20:04
  Super
• 20:04
  interesting
• 20:05
  to
• 20:05
  read.
• 20:05
  Yeah.
• 20:06
  I
• 20:06
  mean,
• 20:06
  he
• 20:06
  winds
• 20:06
  up.
• 20:07
  It
• 20:07
  is
• 20:08
  interesting
• 20:08
  because.
• 20:09
  And,
• 20:10
  you
• 20:10
  know,
• 20:10
  the
• 20:10
  character
• 20:10
  is,
• 20:11
  you
• 20:12
  know,
• 20:12
  basically
• 20:12
  described
• 20:13
  as
• 20:13
  frustrated
• 20:13
  by
• 20:14
  this.
• 20:14
  But
• 20:14
  he's
• 20:14
  trying
• 20:14
  to
• 20:15
  explain
• 20:15
  so
• 20:15
  many
• 20:15
  of
• 20:16
  these
• 20:16
  vampire
• 20:16
  traits
• 20:17
  in
• 20:17
  terms
• 20:17
  of.
• 20:18
  There
• 20:18
  must
• 20:18
  be
• 20:18
  something
• 20:19
  about
• 20:19
  the
• 20:19
  bacterial
• 20:20
  infection
• 20:20
  itself
• 20:20
  that
• 20:21
  is
• 20:21
  giving
• 20:21
  rise
• 20:22
  to
• 20:22
  this.
• 20:23
  And
• 20:23
  then
• 20:24
  he
• 20:24
  winds
• 20:24
  up.
• 20:25
  And
• 20:26
  I
• 20:26
  don't
• 20:26
  know
• 20:26
  if
• 20:26
  this
• 20:26
  is
• 20:26
  Matheson
• 20:27
  kind
• 20:27
  of
• 20:27
  throwing
• 20:27
  up
• 20:27
  his
• 20:28
  hands
• 20:28
  and
• 20:28
  going,
• 20:29
  I
• 20:29
  tried,
• 20:29
  and
• 20:29
  I
• 20:30
  couldn't
• 20:30
  figure
• 20:30
  out
• 20:31
  an
• 20:31
  explanation
• 20:31
  or
• 20:32
  if
• 20:32
  he.
• 20:33
  This
• 20:33
  is
• 20:34
  where
• 20:34
  he
• 20:34
  wanted
• 20:34
  to
• 20:34
  wind
• 20:34
  up
• 20:34
  with
• 20:35
  it.
• 20:35
  But
• 20:36
  it's
• 20:36
  fairly
• 20:36
  late
• 20:36
  in
• 20:36
  the
• 20:37
  day
• 20:37
  when
• 20:37
  he
• 20:37
  goes,
• 20:37
  oh,
• 20:37
  actually,
• 20:39
  most
• 20:39
  of
• 20:39
  this
• 20:39
  has
• 20:40
  nothing
• 20:40
  to
• 20:40
  do
• 20:40
  with
• 20:40
  this
• 20:41
  infection.
• 20:42
  It's
• 20:42
  not
• 20:42
  necessary.
• 20:43
  It's
• 20:43
  just
• 20:44
  a
• 20:44
  psychosomatic
• 20:45
  feature
• 20:46
  of.
• 20:46
  We
• 20:47
  were
• 20:47
  raised
• 20:47
  on
• 20:48
  vampire
• 20:48
  literature,
• 20:49
  and
• 20:50
  so
• 20:50
  this
• 20:50
  is
• 20:50
  what
• 20:50
  we
• 20:50
  expect
• 20:51
  vampires
• 20:52
  to
• 20:52
  be
• 20:52
  like.
• 20:52
  And
• 20:53
  so
• 20:53
  these
• 20:53
  people
• 20:53
  start
• 20:54
  behaving
• 20:54
  that
• 20:54
  way.
• 20:54
  They're
• 20:55
  afraid
• 20:55
  of.
• 20:56
  They're
• 20:56
  afraid
• 20:56
  of
• 20:56
  the
• 20:56
  cross
• 20:57
  or
• 20:57
  whatever
• 20:57
  other
• 20:57
  religious
• 20:58
  symbol,
• 20:58
  because
• 20:58
  they
• 20:59
  were
• 20:59
  brought
• 20:59
  up
• 20:59
  in
• 20:59
  their
• 21:00
  religion
• 21:00
  to
• 21:01
  be
• 21:02
  afraid
• 21:02
  of
• 21:02
  becoming
• 21:03
  a
• 21:03
  vampire,
• 21:03
  be
• 21:03
  afraid
• 21:04
  of
• 21:04
  demons
• 21:04
  and
• 21:04
  so
• 21:04
  forth.
• 21:05
  And
• 21:05
  so
• 21:05
  the
• 21:05
  knowledge
• 21:05
  that
• 21:05
  they
• 21:06
  are
• 21:06
  now
• 21:06
  a
• 21:06
  demon
• 21:06
  means
• 21:06
  that
• 21:07
  they
• 21:07
  are
• 21:07
  damned.
• 21:09
  And
• 21:09
  so
• 21:09
  they're
• 21:09
  reacting
• 21:10
  that
• 21:10
  way
• 21:11
  because
• 21:11
  of
• 21:11
  the
• 21:11
  psychology
• 21:12
  of
• 21:12
  it.
• 21:12
  You
• 21:13
  know,
• 21:13
  the
• 21:13
  mirror
• 21:14
  thing
• 21:14
  is,
• 21:14
  you
• 21:14
  know,
• 21:14
  that
• 21:15
  they're
• 21:15
  afraid
• 21:16
  of
• 21:16
  what
• 21:16
  they
• 21:16
  become
• 21:16
  or
• 21:17
  they
• 21:17
  find
• 21:18
  what
• 21:18
  they
• 21:18
  become
• 21:18
  distasteful
• 21:19
  and
• 21:19
  so
• 21:19
  forth.
• 21:19
  Yeah,
• 21:20
  it
• 21:20
  was
• 21:21
  certainly
• 21:22
  an
• 21:22
  interesting
• 21:23
  take
• 21:23
  on
• 21:23
  such
• 21:23
  things.
• 21:23
  It
• 21:24
  just
• 21:24
  kind
• 21:24
  of
• 21:25
  begged
• 21:25
  the
• 21:25
  question
• 21:26
  of,
• 21:26
  well,
• 21:26
  then
• 21:27
  why
• 21:27
  did
• 21:27
  the.
• 21:27
  Where
• 21:27
  did
• 21:28
  the
• 21:28
  vampire
• 21:28
  legend.
• 21:29
  Where
• 21:29
  did
• 21:30
  these
• 21:30
  elements
• 21:30
  of
• 21:30
  the
• 21:30
  vampire
• 21:31
  legend
• 21:31
  come
• 21:31
  from?
• 21:33
  Because
• 21:34
  we're
• 21:34
  also
• 21:34
  meant
• 21:35
  to
• 21:35
  believe
• 21:35
  or
• 21:35
  understand
• 21:36
  that
• 21:37
  all
• 21:38
  the
• 21:38
  stories
• 21:39
  about
• 21:40
  vampires,
• 21:40
  the
• 21:41
  folklore
• 21:41
  of
• 21:41
  Vampires
• 21:42
  came
• 21:42
  from
• 21:42
  actual
• 21:42
  people
• 21:43
  with
• 21:43
  this
• 21:43
  infection.
• 21:44
  And
• 21:44
  that
• 21:44
  for
• 21:45
  whatever
• 21:45
  reason,
• 21:45
  it
• 21:45
  was
• 21:46
  a
• 21:46
  rare
• 21:47
  infection
• 21:48
  in
• 21:48
  the
• 21:48
  past
• 21:49
  that
• 21:49
  has
• 21:49
  now
• 21:49
  become
• 21:50
  a
• 21:50
  global
• 21:51
  pandemic.
• 21:52
  Apologies
• 21:53
  for
• 21:53
  using
• 21:53
  that
• 21:54
  word,
• 21:54
  but.
• 21:56
  So
• 21:57
  that's
• 21:57
  not
• 21:57
  really
• 21:57
  explaining
• 21:58
  what
• 21:58
  changed
• 21:59
  to
• 21:59
  make
• 22:00
  it
• 22:00
  much
• 22:00
  more
• 22:00
  infectious,
• 22:01
  but
• 22:01
  yeah.
• 22:01
  So
• 22:02
  why
• 22:03
  did
• 22:03
  those
• 22:03
  things
• 22:03
  enter
• 22:04
  into
• 22:04
  the
• 22:04
  vampire
• 22:04
  folklore
• 22:05
  in
• 22:05
  the
• 22:05
  first
• 22:05
  place
• 22:05
  if
• 22:05
  it
• 22:06
  was
• 22:06
  always
• 22:06
  this
• 22:07
  bacterial
• 22:07
  infection
• 22:08
  that
• 22:08
  did
• 22:08
  not
• 22:08
  necessarily
• 22:08
  cause
• 22:09
  these
• 22:09
  elements?
• 22:09
  But
• 22:11
  there's
• 22:12
  only
• 22:12
  so
• 22:12
  much
• 22:12
  you
• 22:12
  can
• 22:13
  push
• 22:14
  on
• 22:14
  that.
• 22:14
  But
• 22:15
  yeah,
• 22:15
  it
• 22:15
  was,
• 22:16
  it
• 22:16
  was
• 22:16
  interesting
• 22:16
  to
• 22:16
  see
• 22:17
  how
• 22:17
  much
• 22:17
  of
• 22:17
  it
• 22:17
  was
• 22:17
  just
• 22:17
  kind
• 22:18
  of
• 22:18
  tossed
• 22:19
  into
• 22:19
  under
• 22:19
  the
• 22:19
  heading
• 22:19
  of,
• 22:20
  well,
• 22:20
  this
• 22:20
  is
• 22:20
  what
• 22:21
  people
• 22:21
  think.
• 22:21
  This
• 22:21
  is
• 22:22
  how
• 22:22
  people
• 22:22
  think
• 22:22
  vampires
• 22:23
  should
• 22:23
  be.
• 22:23
  So
• 22:23
  when
• 22:23
  you
• 22:24
  become
• 22:24
  a
• 22:24
  vampire,
• 22:24
  that's
• 22:25
  what
• 22:25
  you
• 22:25
  do.
• 22:26
  Yeah,
• 22:26
  so
• 22:27
  they,
• 22:27
  they
• 22:27
  do
• 22:27
  actually.
• 22:28
  He
• 22:28
  like
• 22:29
  alludes
• 22:29
  to
• 22:30
  what
• 22:30
  makes
• 22:30
  it
• 22:31
  become,
• 22:31
  you
• 22:32
  know,
• 22:32
  more
• 22:32
  communicable
• 22:33
  or
• 22:33
  at
• 22:33
  least
• 22:33
  more
• 22:34
  widespread.
• 22:35
  But
• 22:35
  it's
• 22:35
  like
• 22:36
  one
• 22:36
  sentence.
• 22:37
  You
• 22:37
  just
• 22:37
  have
• 22:37
  to
• 22:38
  catch
• 22:38
  it.
• 22:38
  It's
• 22:39
  one
• 22:39
  sentence
• 22:40
  where
• 22:40
  he
• 22:41
  realizes
• 22:41
  why
• 22:41
  it
• 22:41
  happened
• 22:42
  and
• 22:43
  then
• 22:43
  in
• 22:43
  a
• 22:43
  flashback,
• 22:45
  he
• 22:46
  mentions
• 22:46
  why
• 22:47
  the
• 22:47
  dust
• 22:48
  storms
• 22:48
  happen.
• 22:48
  So
• 22:49
  the
• 22:49
  dust
• 22:49
  storms
• 22:49
  are
• 22:49
  just
• 22:49
  present
• 22:50
  and
• 22:51
  we're
• 22:52
  made
• 22:52
  to
• 22:52
  believe
• 22:52
  that
• 22:52
  the
• 22:52
  dust
• 22:52
  storms
• 22:53
  are
• 22:53
  just
• 22:53
  a
• 22:54
  couple
• 22:54
  times
• 22:54
  a
• 22:54
  week
• 22:55
  all
• 22:55
  over
• 22:55
  the
• 22:55
  world.
• 22:56
  Dust
• 22:56
  storms,
• 22:57
  sure.
• 22:59
  Because
• 23:00
  of
• 23:01
  the
• 23:01
  war,
• 23:02
  which
• 23:03
  in
• 23:03
  1954
• 23:04
  we
• 23:05
  assume
• 23:05
  is
• 23:05
  World
• 23:05
  War
• 23:06
  II.
• 23:07
  That's
• 23:07
  it.
• 23:08
  The
• 23:08
  dust
• 23:08
  storms
• 23:09
  carry
• 23:09
  the
• 23:10
  germ,
• 23:11
  make
• 23:11
  it
• 23:12
  more
• 23:12
  communicable,
• 23:13
  make
• 23:13
  more
• 23:14
  people
• 23:14
  get
• 23:14
  it.
• 23:15
  He
• 23:15
  says
• 23:15
  that
• 23:16
  in,
• 23:16
  I
• 23:16
  think,
• 23:16
  literally
• 23:17
  one
• 23:17
  sentence
• 23:18
  out
• 23:18
  of
• 23:18
  this
• 23:18
  entire
• 23:19
  book.
• 23:19
  Yeah,
• 23:20
  you're
• 23:20
  right.
• 23:20
  And
• 23:20
  I
• 23:20
  think
• 23:20
  I
• 23:20
  just
• 23:21
  didn't
• 23:21
  buy
• 23:21
  that.
• 23:21
  And
• 23:21
  so
• 23:21
  that's
• 23:22
  why
• 23:22
  it
• 23:22
  didn't
• 23:22
  stick.
• 23:23
  Yeah.
• 23:25
  Yeah.
• 23:25
  So
• 23:25
  it
• 23:25
  is
• 23:25
  still
• 23:26
  1954.
• 23:27
  You
• 23:27
  know,
• 23:29
  science
• 23:29
  is
• 23:29
  not
• 23:30
  quite
• 23:30
  as
• 23:30
  advanced
• 23:32
  as
• 23:32
  they
• 23:33
  thought
• 23:33
  it
• 23:33
  was,
• 23:33
  which
• 23:33
  is
• 23:34
  always
• 23:34
  the
• 23:34
  case,
• 23:36
  but
• 23:37
  it's
• 23:37
  cool.
• 23:38
  So
• 23:38
  we
• 23:38
  skipped
• 23:38
  it
• 23:39
  out
• 23:39
  of
• 23:39
  zero
• 23:39
  out
• 23:40
  of
• 23:40
  10,
• 23:40
  you
• 23:41
  know,
• 23:41
  or
• 23:41
  I
• 23:41
  guess
• 23:41
  one
• 23:42
  to
• 23:42
  10.
• 23:42
  Please
• 23:42
  don't
• 23:42
  give
• 23:42
  it
• 23:43
  a
• 23:43
  zero.
• 23:44
  What
• 23:44
  do
• 23:44
  you
• 23:45
  think
• 23:45
  about
• 23:45
  I
• 23:45
  am
• 23:45
  Legend?
• 23:46
  You
• 23:46
  know,
• 23:46
  I
• 23:47
  would,
• 23:47
  I
• 23:47
  would
• 23:47
  probably
• 23:47
  put
• 23:48
  it
• 23:49
  like
• 23:49
  a
• 23:49
  six
• 23:50
  or
• 23:50
  seven.
• 23:50
  There
• 23:50
  was,
• 23:50
  there
• 23:51
  was
• 23:51
  more
• 23:51
  microbiology
• 23:52
  than
• 23:52
  I
• 23:52
  expected,
• 23:53
  which
• 23:53
  was.
• 23:54
  Which
• 23:54
  was
• 23:54
  pleasing
• 23:54
  to
• 23:55
  encounter.
• 23:55
  It's
• 23:55
  not,
• 23:56
  you
• 23:56
  know,
• 23:56
  it's
• 23:56
  not
• 23:56
  my
• 23:56
  usual
• 23:57
  thing,
• 23:57
  vampire,
• 23:58
  zombie
• 23:58
  kind
• 23:59
  of
• 23:59
  stuff,
• 23:59
  but,
• 24:01
  you
• 24:01
  know,
• 24:01
  it's
• 24:02
  a,
• 24:02
  it's
• 24:02
  a
• 24:02
  well
• 24:02
  told
• 24:03
  story
• 24:03
  and
• 24:03
  it
• 24:04
  had,
• 24:04
  like
• 24:05
  I
• 24:05
  said,
• 24:05
  more
• 24:05
  details
• 24:05
  in
• 24:05
  it
• 24:06
  than
• 24:06
  I
• 24:06
  then
• 24:06
  I
• 24:06
  expected
• 24:07
  that
• 24:07
  captured
• 24:07
  my
• 24:07
  interest.
• 24:08
  So,
• 24:08
  yeah,
• 24:10
  yeah,
• 24:10
  I
• 24:10
  was,
• 24:11
  I
• 24:11
  was
• 24:11
  also
• 24:11
  pleasantly
• 24:12
  surprised.
• 24:12
  I'd
• 24:12
  give
• 24:12
  it
• 24:13
  like
• 24:13
  a
• 24:13
  solid
• 24:13
  eight.
• 24:14
  I
• 24:14
  think
• 24:15
  it's
• 24:15
  a
• 24:15
  fun
• 24:16
  read.
• 24:16
  I
• 24:16
  think
• 24:16
  it's
• 24:17
  a
• 24:17
  cool
• 24:17
  thing
• 24:18
  to
• 24:18
  read.
• 24:19
  Just.
• 24:20
  I
• 24:20
  like
• 24:20
  reading
• 24:20
  old
• 24:21
  stuff.
• 24:21
  I
• 24:21
  like
• 24:21
  reading
• 24:21
  old
• 24:22
  Science
• 24:22
  fiction.
• 24:22
  I
• 24:23
  think
• 24:23
  it's
• 24:23
  a
• 24:23
  good
• 24:23
  time.
• 24:24
  And
• 24:25
  I
• 24:25
  think
• 24:25
  Robert
• 24:26
  Neville
• 24:26
  is
• 24:27
  a
• 24:27
  very
• 24:27
  interesting
• 24:28
  character.
• 24:29
  I
• 24:29
  feel
• 24:30
  like
• 24:31
  I
• 24:31
  can't
• 24:31
  speak
• 24:31
  to
• 24:31
  this
• 24:32
  because
• 24:33
  I
• 24:33
  was
• 24:33
  not
• 24:33
  alive
• 24:34
  in
• 24:34
  the
• 24:35
  50s.
• 24:37
  My
• 24:37
  dad.
• 24:38
  My
• 24:38
  dad
• 24:38
  wasn't
• 24:39
  alive
• 24:39
  in
• 24:39
  the
• 24:39
  50s.
• 24:41
  I
• 24:41
  feel
• 24:41
  like
• 24:41
  he
• 24:42
  was
• 24:42
  supposed
• 24:42
  to
• 24:42
  be
• 24:43
  relatable
• 24:44
  in
• 24:45
  some
• 24:45
  ways
• 24:46
  at
• 24:47
  least
• 24:47
  he
• 24:47
  is
• 24:48
  a
• 24:48
  caricature
• 24:49
  of
• 24:49
  what
• 24:50
  some
• 24:50
  people
• 24:50
  think
• 24:50
  of
• 24:50
  when
• 24:51
  they
• 24:51
  think
• 24:51
  a
• 24:51
  1950s
• 24:52
  man.
• 24:52
  Even
• 24:52
  though
• 24:53
  this
• 24:53
  is
• 24:53
  the
• 24:53
  story
• 24:53
  takes
• 24:54
  place
• 24:54
  in
• 24:54
  the
• 24:54
  70s,
• 24:56
  but
• 24:56
  he
• 24:56
  developing
• 24:57
  alcoholic
• 25:00
  book
• 25:00
  is
• 25:00
  weirdly
• 25:01
  horny.
• 25:02
  I
• 25:02
  feel
• 25:02
  like
• 25:02
  we
• 25:03
  should
• 25:03
  cover
• 25:03
  that.
• 25:03
  He
• 25:03
  spends
• 25:04
  a
• 25:04
  lot
• 25:04
  of
• 25:05
  the
• 25:05
  first
• 25:06
  30,
• 25:06
  40
• 25:07
  odd
• 25:07
  pages
• 25:08
  talking
• 25:09
  about
• 25:09
  how
• 25:10
  the
• 25:10
  female
• 25:10
  vampires
• 25:11
  try
• 25:12
  to
• 25:12
  lure
• 25:12
  him
• 25:12
  outside
• 25:12
  with
• 25:13
  their
• 25:13
  bodies
• 25:14
  and
• 25:14
  how
• 25:14
  it's
• 25:15
  driving
• 25:15
  him
• 25:15
  crazy.
• 25:16
  So
• 25:16
  I'm
• 25:17
  glad
• 25:17
  he
• 25:17
  grows
• 25:17
  out
• 25:17
  of
• 25:17
  that.
• 25:18
  There
• 25:18
  is
• 25:18
  some
• 25:18
  growth
• 25:18
  in
• 25:18
  the
• 25:18
  book.
• 25:19
  There
• 25:19
  is
• 25:19
  some
• 25:20
  growth.
• 25:21
  But
• 25:21
  you
• 25:22
  said
• 25:22
  you
• 25:22
  haven't
• 25:23
  seen
• 25:23
  any
• 25:23
  of
• 25:23
  the
• 25:23
  movies,
• 25:24
  Correct?
• 25:25
  None
• 25:25
  of
• 25:25
  them.
• 25:25
  Not
• 25:25
  even
• 25:26
  the
• 25:26
  Will
• 25:26
  Smith
• 25:26
  one?
• 25:27
  Not
• 25:27
  even
• 25:27
  the
• 25:27
  Will
• 25:28
  Smith
• 25:28
  one.
• 25:28
  Like
• 25:28
  I
• 25:28
  said,
• 25:29
  vampire
• 25:29
  zombies
• 25:30
  never
• 25:30
  really
• 25:30
  been
• 25:31
  my
• 25:31
  thing,
• 25:31
  so
• 25:32
  didn't.
• 25:33
  Didn't
• 25:33
  have
• 25:33
  a
• 25:33
  lot
• 25:33
  of
• 25:34
  selling
• 25:34
  points.
• 25:35
  Wow.
• 25:35
  Okay,
• 25:36
  well,
• 25:37
  you
• 25:37
  know,
• 25:37
  I'll
• 25:37
  cover
• 25:37
  them
• 25:38
  quickly.
• 25:38
  I
• 25:38
  have
• 25:39
  unfortunately
• 25:39
  not
• 25:40
  seen
• 25:40
  Last
• 25:41
  man
• 25:41
  on
• 25:41
  Earth
• 25:41
  or
• 25:41
  the
• 25:41
  Omega
• 25:42
  Man.
• 25:44
  I
• 25:44
  know
• 25:44
  Last
• 25:45
  man
• 25:45
  on
• 25:45
  Earth
• 25:45
  is
• 25:45
  Charlton
• 25:46
  Heston
• 25:47
  classic
• 25:47
  horror.
• 25:48
  I
• 25:48
  need
• 25:48
  to
• 25:49
  check
• 25:49
  it
• 25:49
  out.
• 25:50
  The
• 25:50
  Omega
• 25:50
  Man,
• 25:51
  I
• 25:51
  think
• 25:51
  is
• 25:51
  really
• 25:52
  interesting,
• 25:53
  especially
• 25:53
  for
• 25:54
  the
• 25:54
  time
• 25:56
  Last
• 25:56
  man
• 25:56
  on
• 25:56
  Earth
• 25:57
  came
• 25:57
  out
• 25:57
  in
• 25:57
  64,
• 25:58
  Omega
• 25:59
  man
• 25:59
  came
• 25:59
  out
• 25:59
  71.
• 26:00
  And
• 26:00
  I
• 26:01
  like
• 26:01
  that.
• 26:01
  You
• 26:02
  know,
• 26:02
  back
• 26:02
  then,
• 26:02
  the
• 26:03
  60s,
• 26:04
  70s,
• 26:05
  they
• 26:05
  weren't,
• 26:06
  you
• 26:07
  know,
• 26:07
  they
• 26:07
  weren't
• 26:07
  directing
• 26:08
  the
• 26:08
  story
• 26:08
  one
• 26:08
  to
• 26:09
  one,
• 26:09
  so
• 26:09
  they
• 26:09
  weren't
• 26:09
  gonna
• 26:10
  name
• 26:10
  it
• 26:10
  one
• 26:10
  to
• 26:10
  one.
• 26:11
  Even
• 26:11
  though
• 26:12
  from
• 26:12
  what
• 26:12
  I've
• 26:12
  read,
• 26:13
  they're
• 26:13
  much
• 26:13
  closer
• 26:14
  to
• 26:14
  the
• 26:15
  book
• 26:15
  than
• 26:15
  Will
• 26:16
  Smith's
• 26:16
  I
• 26:16
  Am
• 26:16
  Legend.
• 26:17
  And
• 26:18
  then
• 26:18
  in
• 26:18
  2007,
• 26:19
  they
• 26:19
  were
• 26:19
  just
• 26:19
  like,
• 26:19
  yeah,
• 26:19
  no,
• 26:19
  we're
• 26:19
  calling
• 26:20
  it
• 26:20
  I
• 26:20
  Am
• 26:20
  Legend.
• 26:20
  We
• 26:21
  want
• 26:21
  people
• 26:21
  to
• 26:21
  read
• 26:21
  it.
• 26:21
  And
• 26:22
  it's
• 26:22
  got
• 26:23
  basically
• 26:23
  no
• 26:23
  similarities
• 26:24
  at
• 26:24
  all
• 26:25
  to
• 26:26
  the
• 26:26
  novella.
• 26:28
  So
• 26:29
  that's
• 26:29
  interesting.
• 26:29
  That's
• 26:30
  interesting.
• 26:30
  Also,
• 26:31
  stylistically,
• 26:31
  they
• 26:31
  have
• 26:32
  a
• 26:32
  lot
• 26:32
  of
• 26:32
  differences
• 26:33
  and
• 26:33
  we're
• 26:33
  not
• 26:33
  here
• 26:33
  to
• 26:33
  talk
• 26:34
  about
• 26:34
  the
• 26:34
  movies,
• 26:34
  but
• 26:35
  I
• 26:35
  just
• 26:36
  think
• 26:36
  it's
• 26:36
  cool
• 26:36
  that
• 26:36
  there
• 26:36
  are
• 26:37
  three
• 26:37
  of
• 26:37
  them.
• 26:37
  And
• 26:38
  I
• 26:38
  do
• 26:38
  really
• 26:39
  like
• 26:39
  the
• 26:39
  Will
• 26:39
  Smith
• 26:39
  movie.
• 26:40
  And
• 26:41
  the
• 26:41
  only
• 26:41
  thing
• 26:42
  that
• 26:42
  I
• 26:43
  don't
• 26:43
  believe
• 26:43
  the
• 26:43
  other
• 26:43
  two
• 26:44
  do,
• 26:44
  that
• 26:45
  Will
• 26:45
  Smith's
• 26:45
  I
• 26:46
  Am
• 26:46
  Legend
• 26:46
  does
• 26:47
  is
• 26:48
  end
• 26:48
  in
• 26:49
  suicide.
• 26:50
  Spoiler
• 26:50
  warning.
• 26:51
  Once
• 26:51
  again,
• 26:52
  that
• 26:52
  is
• 26:53
  how
• 26:53
  the
• 26:53
  book
• 26:53
  ends.
• 26:54
  He
• 26:54
  takes
• 26:54
  some
• 26:54
  pills
• 26:56
  given
• 26:56
  to
• 26:56
  him
• 26:56
  by
• 26:57
  a
• 26:57
  sympathetic
• 26:58
  vampire
• 26:59
  who
• 27:00
  doesn't
• 27:00
  want
• 27:00
  to
• 27:00
  see
• 27:01
  him
• 27:01
  be
• 27:01
  like
• 27:02
  beheaded
• 27:03
  or
• 27:03
  like
• 27:04
  bled
• 27:04
  out
• 27:04
  or
• 27:04
  whatever
• 27:05
  they
• 27:05
  have
• 27:05
  planned
• 27:05
  for
• 27:05
  him.
• 27:07
  So
• 27:07
  she
• 27:08
  slips
• 27:08
  him
• 27:08
  the
• 27:08
  little
• 27:09
  cocktail
• 27:10
  and
• 27:11
  it
• 27:11
  helps
• 27:12
  him
• 27:12
  go
• 27:12
  out
• 27:12
  that
• 27:12
  way.
• 27:14
  But
• 27:14
  I
• 27:15
  think
• 27:15
  it's
• 27:15
  super
• 27:15
  interesting
• 27:16
  just
• 27:16
  looking
• 27:16
  at
• 27:16
  the
• 27:17
  different
• 27:17
  styles
• 27:18
  that
• 27:18
  we
• 27:18
  have
• 27:18
  portraying
• 27:19
  the
• 27:19
  story.
• 27:20
  I
• 27:20
  think
• 27:21
  it's
• 27:21
  a
• 27:21
  good
• 27:21
  story.
• 27:22
  I
• 27:23
  do.
• 27:23
  I
• 27:24
  might
• 27:24
  be
• 27:24
  an
• 27:24
  I
• 27:24
  am
• 27:24
  legend
• 27:25
  lover.
• 27:27
  Also
• 27:28
  very
• 27:28
  interesting
• 27:29
  on
• 27:29
  the
• 27:29
  points
• 27:29
  that
• 27:30
  they
• 27:30
  focus
• 27:30
  on.
• 27:30
  So
• 27:31
  in
• 27:31
  the
• 27:31
  book,
• 27:32
  we
• 27:32
  know
• 27:32
  that
• 27:32
  Robert
• 27:33
  Neville
• 27:33
  is
• 27:33
  not
• 27:34
  a
• 27:34
  scientist.
• 27:34
  He
• 27:34
  was
• 27:34
  a
• 27:35
  soldier,
• 27:35
  then
• 27:35
  he
• 27:36
  worked
• 27:36
  at
• 27:36
  a
• 27:36
  plant.
• 27:37
  His
• 27:37
  dad
• 27:37
  was
• 27:38
  a
• 27:38
  scientist.
• 27:39
  I
• 27:39
  think
• 27:39
  all
• 27:40
  three
• 27:40
  movies
• 27:41
  actually
• 27:41
  just
• 27:41
  skip
• 27:42
  straight
• 27:42
  to
• 27:42
  him
• 27:42
  being
• 27:43
  a
• 27:43
  scientist,
• 27:44
  where
• 27:44
  in
• 27:45
  the
• 27:45
  novella,
• 27:45
  we
• 27:46
  actually
• 27:46
  see
• 27:46
  him
• 27:47
  grow
• 27:47
  into
• 27:48
  being
• 27:48
  a
• 27:48
  scientist
• 27:49
  out
• 27:49
  of
• 27:49
  almost
• 27:49
  necessity
• 27:51
  because
• 27:51
  he
• 27:51
  gets
• 27:51
  tired
• 27:52
  of,
• 27:53
  you
• 27:53
  know,
• 27:53
  finding
• 27:54
  a
• 27:54
  new
• 27:54
  lathe.
• 27:55
  I
• 27:55
  thought
• 27:55
  it
• 27:55
  was
• 27:55
  cool
• 27:56
  to
• 27:56
  see
• 27:56
  Sears,
• 27:57
  like
• 27:57
  on
• 27:57
  his
• 27:58
  little
• 27:58
  to
• 27:58
  do
• 27:58
  list.
• 27:58
  He
• 27:58
  writes
• 27:59
  for
• 27:59
  himself.
• 27:59
  One
• 27:59
  day
• 27:59
  he's
• 28:00
  like,
• 28:00
  lathe
• 28:01
  at
• 28:01
  Sears,
• 28:02
  get
• 28:02
  a
• 28:02
  new
• 28:02
  lathe.
• 28:04
  He's
• 28:05
  running
• 28:05
  out
• 28:05
  of
• 28:05
  dowels
• 28:06
  to
• 28:06
  make
• 28:06
  stakes
• 28:07
  to
• 28:07
  drive
• 28:07
  through
• 28:07
  their
• 28:07
  hearts.
• 28:08
  And
• 28:08
  then
• 28:08
  one
• 28:08
  day
• 28:09
  it
• 28:09
  just
• 28:09
  clicks.
• 28:09
  He's
• 28:09
  like,
• 28:10
  maybe
• 28:10
  I
• 28:10
  don't
• 28:10
  actually
• 28:10
  have
• 28:11
  to
• 28:11
  do
• 28:11
  that.
• 28:12
  Maybe
• 28:12
  I
• 28:12
  don't
• 28:12
  have
• 28:12
  to
• 28:13
  do
• 28:13
  that.
• 28:13
  And
• 28:14
  I
• 28:15
  think
• 28:15
  it's
• 28:15
  also
• 28:15
  funny
• 28:16
  because
• 28:16
  the
• 28:16
  whole
• 28:17
  time
• 28:17
  he
• 28:18
  had
• 28:18
  guns.
• 28:19
  And
• 28:19
  one
• 28:20
  of
• 28:20
  the
• 28:20
  things
• 28:20
  that
• 28:20
  the
• 28:21
  bacteria
• 28:21
  actually
• 28:21
  is
• 28:22
  responsible
• 28:22
  for
• 28:22
  is
• 28:23
  making
• 28:23
  sure
• 28:23
  that
• 28:23
  guns
• 28:24
  do
• 28:24
  not
• 28:24
  work.
• 28:27
  I
• 28:27
  think
• 28:27
  that's
• 28:28
  super
• 28:28
  interesting.
• 28:29
  That
• 28:29
  was
• 28:29
  such
• 28:30
  a.
• 28:30
  Mr.
• 28:31
  Han,
• 28:32
  enter
• 28:32
  the
• 28:32
  Dragon.
• 28:33
  We're
• 28:33
  just
• 28:34
  having
• 28:34
  guns.
• 28:34
  Just.
• 28:35
  Nope.
• 28:36
  Yeah,
• 28:37
  it's
• 28:37
  like,
• 28:37
  nope,
• 28:37
  guns
• 28:38
  don't
• 28:38
  work.
• 28:38
  They
• 28:38
  don't
• 28:39
  work.
• 28:39
  You
• 28:39
  can
• 28:39
  use
• 28:39
  them,
• 28:40
  but
• 28:40
  they
• 28:41
  just
• 28:41
  don't
• 28:41
  work.
• 28:42
  They
• 28:42
  do
• 28:42
  work
• 28:43
  on
• 28:43
  people
• 28:44
  in
• 28:44
  early
• 28:45
  stages
• 28:45
  of
• 28:45
  infection.
• 28:46
  I
• 28:46
  think
• 28:46
  it
• 28:46
  was.
• 28:48
  Yeah,
• 28:50
  I
• 28:50
  was
• 28:50
  a
• 28:51
  little
• 28:51
  fuzzy
• 28:51
  on,
• 28:51
  because
• 28:52
  there
• 28:52
  are
• 28:53
  parallel
• 28:54
  concepts
• 28:54
  of
• 28:55
  there
• 28:55
  are
• 28:56
  living
• 28:56
  people
• 28:56
  who
• 28:57
  are
• 28:57
  infected
• 28:58
  who
• 28:58
  are
• 28:58
  vampires,
• 28:59
  but
• 28:59
  then
• 28:59
  also
• 28:59
  the.
• 29:00
  The
• 29:00
  dead.
• 29:01
  Yeah.
• 29:02
  Become
• 29:02
  infected
• 29:03
  and
• 29:03
  come
• 29:03
  back
• 29:03
  to
• 29:04
  life
• 29:04
  as
• 29:04
  vampires.
• 29:05
  But
• 29:06
  also
• 29:06
  they
• 29:07
  died
• 29:07
  from
• 29:07
  the
• 29:08
  infection.
• 29:09
  Right.
• 29:09
  Like
• 29:09
  his.
• 29:09
  His
• 29:10
  wife
• 29:11
  Virginia
• 29:12
  is
• 29:12
  someone
• 29:12
  who
• 29:13
  got
• 29:13
  infected,
• 29:13
  got
• 29:14
  sick
• 29:14
  from
• 29:14
  this
• 29:14
  bacterial
• 29:15
  infection,
• 29:16
  died
• 29:17
  from
• 29:17
  it,
• 29:18
  and
• 29:18
  then
• 29:18
  came
• 29:18
  back
• 29:18
  to
• 29:19
  life
• 29:19
  as
• 29:19
  an
• 29:19
  undead
• 29:20
  vampire.
• 29:21
  Yeah.
• 29:21
  So
• 29:21
  I
• 29:22
  don't
• 29:22
  understand
• 29:23
  how
• 29:24
  it
• 29:24
  was.
• 29:24
  It
• 29:24
  was
• 29:24
  unclear
• 29:25
  to
• 29:25
  me
• 29:25
  why
• 29:26
  that
• 29:26
  wasn't
• 29:27
  what
• 29:27
  happened
• 29:28
  to
• 29:28
  everyone.
• 29:28
  How
• 29:28
  there
• 29:28
  were
• 29:29
  some
• 29:29
  people
• 29:29
  that
• 29:29
  were
• 29:29
  still
• 29:30
  alive
• 29:31
  but
• 29:31
  also
• 29:32
  infected
• 29:32
  and
• 29:32
  also
• 29:32
  vampires.
• 29:33
  And
• 29:33
  that
• 29:33
  seemed
• 29:34
  to
• 29:34
  be
• 29:34
  a
• 29:35
  difference.
• 29:35
  Right.
• 29:35
  That
• 29:35
  seemed
• 29:35
  to
• 29:36
  matter
• 29:36
  in
• 29:36
  terms
• 29:36
  of
• 29:36
  whether
• 29:36
  you
• 29:37
  could
• 29:37
  succumb
• 29:38
  to
• 29:40
  a
• 29:40
  bullet
• 29:40
  wound,
• 29:41
  how
• 29:42
  you
• 29:42
  responded
• 29:42
  to
• 29:42
  being
• 29:43
  staked.
• 29:44
  It
• 29:45
  seemed
• 29:45
  to
• 29:45
  be
• 29:45
  a
• 29:45
  significant
• 29:46
  difference,
• 29:46
  but
• 29:47
  I
• 29:47
  didn't
• 29:47
  quite
• 29:47
  get
• 29:48
  why
• 29:48
  some
• 29:48
  people
• 29:50
  managed
• 29:51
  to
• 29:51
  be
• 29:51
  alive.
• 29:52
  Yeah.
• 29:54
  For
• 29:54
  years.
• 29:55
  Not
• 29:56
  just
• 29:56
  for
• 29:56
  days,
• 29:56
  but
• 29:57
  for
• 29:57
  years
• 29:57
  and
• 29:58
  years.
• 29:59
  The
• 30:00
  society
• 30:00
  that
• 30:00
  forms
• 30:01
  as
• 30:01
  of
• 30:01
  these
• 30:02
  living
• 30:02
  vampires,
• 30:04
  they're
• 30:05
  the
• 30:05
  ones
• 30:05
  who
• 30:05
  are
• 30:05
  Able
• 30:05
  to
• 30:06
  sort
• 30:06
  of
• 30:06
  regain
• 30:07
  their
• 30:07
  mental
• 30:07
  faculties.
• 30:10
  Why
• 30:10
  they
• 30:10
  were
• 30:11
  infected
• 30:11
  for
• 30:11
  so
• 30:11
  long
• 30:12
  but
• 30:12
  not
• 30:12
  dead,
• 30:13
  I
• 30:14
  don't
• 30:14
  think
• 30:14
  was
• 30:15
  really
• 30:15
  explained.
• 30:16
  Yeah.
• 30:16
  So
• 30:16
  do
• 30:16
  you
• 30:17
  think
• 30:17
  it
• 30:17
  would
• 30:17
  be
• 30:18
  better
• 30:18
  if
• 30:18
  it
• 30:19
  weren't
• 30:19
  a
• 30:19
  novella
• 30:20
  and
• 30:20
  we
• 30:20
  kind
• 30:20
  of
• 30:21
  got
• 30:21
  into
• 30:22
  why
• 30:22
  that
• 30:23
  is?
• 30:23
  Like
• 30:23
  explain
• 30:24
  the
• 30:24
  hierarchy
• 30:25
  to
• 30:25
  us.
• 30:27
  I
• 30:27
  mean,
• 30:28
  far
• 30:28
  be
• 30:29
  it
• 30:29
  for
• 30:29
  me
• 30:29
  to
• 30:30
  second
• 30:31
  guess
• 30:31
  a
• 30:31
  highly
• 30:32
  successful
• 30:33
  story
• 30:34
  that
• 30:35
  has
• 30:35
  spawned
• 30:35
  numerous,
• 30:36
  influenced
• 30:36
  numerous
• 30:37
  other
• 30:37
  writers
• 30:37
  and
• 30:38
  filmmakers
• 30:38
  and
• 30:39
  so
• 30:39
  forth.
• 30:40
  But
• 30:41
  if
• 30:41
  I'm
• 30:41
  being
• 30:41
  asked
• 30:42
  to
• 30:42
  give
• 30:42
  editorial
• 30:42
  notes,
• 30:43
  I
• 30:43
  think
• 30:43
  my
• 30:44
  note
• 30:44
  would
• 30:44
  be
• 30:45
  instead
• 30:45
  of
• 30:46
  expanding
• 30:46
  the
• 30:46
  story
• 30:47
  to
• 30:48
  go
• 30:48
  into
• 30:48
  that
• 30:49
  detail,
• 30:49
  I
• 30:49
  would
• 30:49
  say
• 30:49
  just
• 30:50
  drop
• 30:51
  that
• 30:51
  detail
• 30:51
  and
• 30:52
  pick
• 30:52
  a
• 30:52
  lane.
• 30:54
  Either
• 30:54
  they
• 30:54
  are
• 30:54
  all
• 30:56
  undead
• 30:57
  vampires
• 30:58
  or
• 30:58
  they
• 30:59
  are
• 30:59
  all
• 31:00
  living
• 31:01
  vampires
• 31:01
  or
• 31:02
  however
• 31:02
  you
• 31:03
  want
• 31:03
  to
• 31:03
  describe
• 31:04
  it.
• 31:04
  But
• 31:04
  I'm
• 31:04
  not
• 31:04
  sure
• 31:05
  that
• 31:07
  enough
• 31:07
  is
• 31:07
  made
• 31:08
  plot
• 31:08
  wise
• 31:08
  or
• 31:08
  story
• 31:09
  wise
• 31:09
  or
• 31:09
  theme
• 31:10
  wise
• 31:10
  from
• 31:11
  that
• 31:11
  distinction
• 31:12
  that
• 31:13
  it's
• 31:13
  worth
• 31:13
  sticking
• 31:13
  around.
• 31:14
  So
• 31:15
  I
• 31:15
  think
• 31:15
  the
• 31:15
  story
• 31:15
  works
• 31:16
  well
• 31:16
  for
• 31:16
  its
• 31:17
  simplicity,
• 31:17
  for
• 31:17
  its
• 31:18
  brevity,
• 31:18
  for
• 31:18
  its
• 31:19
  like,
• 31:19
  I'm
• 31:19
  going
• 31:20
  to
• 31:20
  get
• 31:20
  straight
• 31:20
  to
• 31:21
  the
• 31:22
  meat
• 31:22
  of
• 31:22
  things.
• 31:22
  And
• 31:22
  so
• 31:22
  I
• 31:23
  think
• 31:23
  it
• 31:24
  would
• 31:24
  benefit
• 31:25
  more
• 31:25
  to
• 31:25
  just
• 31:26
  continue
• 31:26
  to
• 31:26
  hone
• 31:27
  it
• 31:27
  down
• 31:27
  to
• 31:27
  its
• 31:28
  bare
• 31:28
  essentials
• 31:29
  rather
• 31:29
  than
• 31:29
  trying
• 31:29
  to
• 31:31
  give
• 31:31
  it,
• 31:32
  expand
• 31:32
  it
• 31:33
  out
• 31:33
  in
• 31:33
  the
• 31:34
  modern
• 31:36
  tendency
• 31:36
  to
• 31:37
  just
• 31:37
  give
• 31:37
  everything
• 31:38
  a
• 31:38
  12
• 31:39
  issue
• 31:40
  or
• 31:40
  12
• 31:40
  episode
• 31:41
  prequel.
• 31:43
  Motivation.
• 31:44
  Yeah,
• 31:45
  I
• 31:45
  feel
• 31:45
  like
• 31:46
  it
• 31:46
  almost
• 31:46
  purely
• 31:47
  serves
• 31:48
  to
• 31:48
  throw
• 31:50
  Robert
• 31:50
  Neville
• 31:51
  off
• 31:51
  course.
• 31:52
  It's
• 31:52
  a
• 31:52
  red
• 31:52
  herring.
• 31:53
  It
• 31:53
  doesn't
• 31:54
  actually
• 31:54
  matter.
• 31:54
  It
• 31:54
  just
• 31:55
  makes
• 31:55
  him
• 31:55
  susceptible
• 31:56
  to
• 31:56
  the
• 31:56
  vampire
• 31:57
  spy
• 31:57
  named
• 31:57
  Ruth.
• 31:58
  I
• 31:59
  think
• 31:59
  if
• 31:59
  they
• 32:00
  had
• 32:00
  all
• 32:00
  been
• 32:00
  dead,
• 32:00
  he
• 32:01
  wouldn't
• 32:01
  have
• 32:02
  fallen
• 32:02
  for
• 32:02
  that.
• 32:03
  Yeah.
• 32:04
  And
• 32:04
  there's
• 32:04
  also
• 32:04
  a
• 32:04
  case
• 32:05
  you
• 32:05
  made
• 32:05
  that
• 32:05
  it's
• 32:06
  texture
• 32:06
  that
• 32:06
  adds,
• 32:07
  you
• 32:07
  know,
• 32:07
  an
• 32:08
  interesting
• 32:08
  wrinkle
• 32:08
  to
• 32:09
  the
• 32:09
  story.
• 32:09
  And
• 32:09
  that's
• 32:09
  fine,
• 32:09
  you
• 32:10
  know,
• 32:10
  if
• 32:10
  I
• 32:11
  wouldn't
• 32:11
  insist
• 32:11
  on
• 32:11
  that
• 32:11
  note.
• 32:12
  But
• 32:12
  if
• 32:12
  I
• 32:12
  was
• 32:13
  being
• 32:13
  asked
• 32:13
  my
• 32:13
  opinion,
• 32:14
  which
• 32:15
  direction
• 32:15
  to
• 32:16
  go
• 32:16
  with
• 32:16
  that,
• 32:16
  that's,
• 32:16
  that's.
• 32:17
  I
• 32:17
  think
• 32:17
  I
• 32:17
  would
• 32:17
  just
• 32:17
  simplify
• 32:18
  things
• 32:18
  rather
• 32:18
  than
• 32:18
  trying
• 32:18
  to
• 32:19
  complicate
• 32:20
  them
• 32:20
  more.
• 32:21
  I
• 32:21
  think
• 32:22
  it
• 32:22
  is
• 32:22
  interesting
• 32:22
  when
• 32:23
  he
• 32:23
  decided
• 32:23
  to
• 32:23
  put
• 32:24
  in
• 32:24
  and
• 32:24
  not
• 32:26
  so
• 32:26
  at
• 32:27
  the
• 32:27
  end
• 32:27
  of
• 32:28
  his
• 32:28
  three
• 32:29
  year,
• 32:29
  you
• 32:30
  know,
• 32:30
  stay
• 32:31
  in
• 32:31
  his
• 32:31
  home,
• 32:32
  his
• 32:32
  three
• 32:33
  year
• 32:33
  survival,
• 32:35
  he
• 32:35
  is
• 32:35
  accosted
• 32:36
  constantly
• 32:36
  every
• 32:37
  night
• 32:37
  by
• 32:38
  his
• 32:38
  former
• 32:38
  neighbor
• 32:39
  Ben
• 32:39
  Corman.
• 32:40
  And
• 32:42
  there
• 32:42
  are
• 32:42
  a
• 32:42
  couple.
• 32:43
  There's
• 32:43
  once
• 32:43
  where
• 32:43
  he
• 32:44
  gets
• 32:44
  Ben
• 32:44
  Corman
• 32:45
  into
• 32:45
  his
• 32:45
  home
• 32:46
  and
• 32:46
  doesn't
• 32:46
  kill
• 32:47
  him.
• 32:47
  At
• 32:47
  that
• 32:48
  point
• 32:48
  he,
• 32:48
  you
• 32:48
  know,
• 32:49
  he
• 32:49
  reveals
• 32:49
  that
• 32:49
  he
• 32:49
  is
• 32:50
  a
• 32:50
  little
• 32:50
  sympathetic
• 32:51
  for
• 32:51
  these
• 32:52
  vampires
• 32:52
  because
• 32:52
  they
• 32:52
  didn't
• 32:53
  choose
• 32:53
  to
• 32:53
  be
• 32:53
  monsters.
• 32:54
  And
• 32:55
  then
• 32:55
  they
• 32:55
  push
• 32:55
  it
• 32:55
  even
• 32:56
  further
• 32:56
  when
• 32:56
  the
• 32:57
  new
• 32:57
  society
• 32:58
  of
• 32:58
  the
• 32:58
  living
• 32:59
  vampires
• 33:00
  comes
• 33:00
  to
• 33:00
  get
• 33:00
  him.
• 33:01
  They
• 33:01
  kill
• 33:02
  Ben
• 33:02
  Cortman.
• 33:03
  And
• 33:03
  he's
• 33:03
  distraught
• 33:05
  because
• 33:05
  he's
• 33:05
  been
• 33:06
  listening
• 33:06
  To
• 33:06
  Ben
• 33:06
  Cortman,
• 33:07
  call
• 33:07
  his
• 33:07
  name
• 33:07
  for
• 33:08
  three
• 33:08
  years.
• 33:10
  And
• 33:11
  he's
• 33:11
  like
• 33:11
  watching
• 33:11
  from
• 33:11
  in
• 33:12
  his
• 33:12
  house,
• 33:13
  begging
• 33:13
  him
• 33:13
  to
• 33:14
  survive.
• 33:15
  I
• 33:15
  thought
• 33:15
  that
• 33:15
  was
• 33:15
  really
• 33:16
  interesting.
• 33:16
  And
• 33:17
  just
• 33:18
  shows
• 33:18
  growth
• 33:19
  in
• 33:19
  Robert.
• 33:20
  Like,
• 33:21
  you
• 33:21
  know,
• 33:21
  I
• 33:22
  think
• 33:22
  that
• 33:22
  really,
• 33:24
  other
• 33:24
  than
• 33:24
  the
• 33:24
  vampires,
• 33:25
  that
• 33:26
  really
• 33:26
  might
• 33:26
  be
• 33:26
  what
• 33:26
  it's
• 33:26
  about
• 33:27
  is
• 33:27
  what
• 33:27
  a
• 33:27
  man
• 33:27
  can
• 33:28
  go
• 33:28
  through,
• 33:29
  what
• 33:29
  he
• 33:29
  can
• 33:29
  grow
• 33:30
  through.
• 33:30
  Yeah.
• 33:31
  I
• 33:31
  mean.
• 33:31
  Yes.
• 33:33
  What
• 33:33
  it
• 33:33
  takes
• 33:33
  to
• 33:33
  survive,
• 33:34
  what
• 33:34
  that
• 33:35
  does
• 33:35
  to
• 33:35
  you,
• 33:35
  what
• 33:35
  those
• 33:35
  circumstances
• 33:36
  force
• 33:37
  you
• 33:37
  to
• 33:38
  renegotiate.
• 33:40
  I
• 33:40
  mean,
• 33:40
  that's
• 33:40
  clearly
• 33:41
  what
• 33:41
  the
• 33:41
  story
• 33:41
  is
• 33:41
  actually
• 33:41
  about.
• 33:42
  Not
• 33:42
  the
• 33:42
  microbiology
• 33:43
  of
• 33:43
  vampirism.
• 34:35
  Yeah.
• 34:36
  But
• 34:36
  it
• 34:36
  is
• 33:46
  cool.
• 34:37
  It
• 34:38
  is
• 34:38
  cool.
• 34:39
  Watching
• 34:39
  Robert
• 34:39
  Neville
• 34:40
  learn
• 34:40
  how
• 34:40
  to
• 34:40
  use
• 34:40
  a
• 34:40
  microscope.
• 34:41
  It
• 34:41
  was
• 34:42
  very
• 34:42
  relatable.
• 34:43
  It's
• 34:44
  really
• 34:44
  annoying
• 34:44
  to
• 34:44
  use
• 34:45
  a
• 34:45
  good
• 34:45
  microscope
• 34:45
  for
• 34:46
  the
• 34:46
  first
• 34:46
  time.
• 34:48
  It's.
• 34:49
  It's.
• 34:49
  I
• 34:50
  just.
• 34:50
  It's
• 34:50
  good.
• 34:50
  I
• 34:51
  like
• 34:51
  it
• 34:51
  a
• 34:51
  lot.
• 34:51
  It's
• 34:52
  really
• 34:52
  good.
• 34:53
  That's
• 34:53
  what
• 34:53
  I
• 34:53
  have
• 34:53
  to
• 34:53
  say.
• 34:55
  What
• 34:55
  else?
• 34:56
  There
• 34:56
  are
• 34:56
  some
• 34:56
  things
• 34:56
  that
• 34:57
  are
• 34:57
  unrealistic.
• 34:57
  He
• 34:58
  still
• 34:58
  has
• 34:58
  food.
• 34:59
  He
• 34:59
  sells,
• 35:00
  like
• 35:00
  frozen
• 35:00
  food
• 35:00
  and
• 35:01
  stuff.
• 35:02
  Like
• 35:02
  he
• 35:03
  runs
• 35:03
  a
• 35:03
  generator.
• 35:03
  You
• 35:04
  know,
• 35:04
  there
• 35:04
  is
• 35:04
  some
• 35:06
  evolution
• 35:06
  there.
• 35:06
  Right.
• 35:07
  Of
• 35:08
  he's
• 35:09
  starting
• 35:09
  out
• 35:09
  with.
• 35:10
  He's
• 35:10
  just
• 35:10
  kind
• 35:11
  of
• 35:11
  has
• 35:12
  the
• 35:12
  supplies
• 35:13
  of
• 35:13
  everybody
• 35:13
  that
• 35:13
  was
• 35:13
  around
• 35:13
  him.
• 35:14
  Right.
• 35:14
  The
• 35:14
  first
• 35:14
  part
• 35:15
  of
• 35:15
  the
• 35:15
  book
• 35:15
  is
• 35:15
  like
• 35:15
  three
• 35:15
  months
• 35:16
  or
• 35:16
  six
• 35:16
  months
• 35:16
  in.
• 35:17
  And
• 35:17
  so
• 35:18
  he's
• 35:18
  still
• 35:18
  kind
• 35:18
  of
• 35:18
  living
• 35:18
  off
• 35:19
  of
• 35:19
  what
• 35:20
  he
• 35:20
  was
• 35:20
  able
• 35:20
  to
• 35:20
  raid
• 35:20
  from
• 35:20
  other
• 35:21
  people.
• 35:21
  So
• 35:21
  frozen
• 35:22
  food.
• 35:22
  And
• 35:23
  it
• 35:23
  goes
• 35:23
  into
• 35:24
  some
• 35:24
  length
• 35:24
  into
• 35:24
  what
• 35:25
  he's
• 35:25
  doing
• 35:25
  to
• 35:25
  keep
• 35:25
  his
• 35:25
  generator
• 35:26
  going
• 35:26
  and
• 35:26
  so
• 35:26
  forth.
• 35:26
  Why
• 35:27
  he
• 35:27
  still
• 35:27
  has
• 35:27
  electricity.
• 35:29
  Is
• 35:29
  it
• 35:30
  entirely
• 35:30
  realistic?
• 35:31
  Maybe
• 35:31
  not.
• 35:31
  I
• 35:31
  don't
• 35:31
  know.
• 35:33
  Where
• 35:33
  is
• 35:33
  he
• 35:33
  getting
• 35:34
  the
• 35:34
  gasoline
• 35:34
  to
• 35:34
  power
• 35:35
  the
• 35:35
  generator?
• 35:35
  At
• 35:35
  some
• 35:35
  point
• 35:36
  that's
• 35:36
  going
• 35:36
  to
• 35:36
  run
• 35:36
  out
• 35:37
  all
• 35:38
  these
• 35:38
  things.
• 35:39
  Yeah.
• 35:39
  There's
• 35:39
  definitely.
• 35:41
  Everything's
• 35:41
  on
• 35:41
  a
• 35:41
  ticking
• 35:42
  clock,
• 35:42
  just
• 35:43
  at
• 35:43
  different
• 35:43
  rates.
• 35:44
  Right.
• 35:44
  But
• 35:44
  everything
• 35:44
  is
• 35:44
  going
• 35:44
  to
• 35:45
  run
• 35:45
  out
• 35:45
  because
• 35:45
  he
• 35:45
  does
• 35:45
  not
• 35:46
  have
• 35:46
  the
• 35:46
  ability
• 35:47
  to
• 35:48
  continue
• 35:48
  to
• 35:49
  produce
• 35:49
  these
• 35:49
  things.
• 35:51
  But
• 35:51
  it
• 35:51
  did
• 35:52
  seem
• 35:52
  like
• 35:52
  at
• 35:52
  some
• 35:52
  point
• 35:53
  he
• 35:53
  shifts.
• 35:54
  Well,
• 35:54
  at
• 35:55
  some
• 35:55
  point
• 35:55
  it
• 35:55
  talks
• 35:56
  about
• 35:56
  the
• 35:56
  food
• 35:56
  less.
• 35:56
  But
• 35:56
  there
• 35:57
  does
• 35:57
  seem
• 35:57
  to
• 35:57
  be
• 35:57
  some
• 35:57
  acknowledgment
• 35:58
  of
• 35:59
  the
• 35:59
  only
• 36:00
  things
• 36:00
  would
• 36:00
  be
• 36:00
  left
• 36:00
  could
• 36:00
  be
• 36:00
  canned
• 36:01
  foods
• 36:01
  or
• 36:02
  things
• 36:02
  that
• 36:03
  he
• 36:03
  could
• 36:03
  have
• 36:03
  somehow
• 36:03
  grown
• 36:05
  after.
• 36:05
  A
• 36:05
  while,
• 36:07
  which
• 36:07
  he
• 36:07
  seems
• 36:08
  to
• 36:08
  have
• 36:08
  no
• 36:08
  problem
• 36:08
  growing.
• 36:09
  Garlic.
• 36:09
  Yes.
• 36:10
  Yes.
• 36:11
  He's
• 36:11
  an
• 36:12
  amazing
• 36:12
  gardener.
• 36:12
  If
• 36:13
  all
• 36:13
  you
• 36:13
  want
• 36:13
  is
• 36:15
  garlic.
• 36:16
  Yeah.
• 36:16
  If
• 36:16
  you
• 36:16
  really
• 36:17
  like
• 36:17
  garlic,
• 36:18
  that's
• 36:19
  your
• 36:19
  man.
• 36:19
  Because
• 36:20
  that's.
• 36:20
  He
• 36:20
  can.
• 36:21
  And
• 36:21
  it's
• 36:21
  all
• 36:21
  he
• 36:21
  does.
• 36:22
  Right.
• 36:23
  No
• 36:23
  onions.
• 36:24
  No.
• 36:24
  Like,
• 36:24
  no
• 36:25
  other
• 36:25
  alliums
• 36:25
  even.
• 36:25
  It's
• 36:26
  just
• 36:26
  garlic.
• 36:26
  Just
• 36:26
  garlic.
• 36:27
  No
• 36:27
  chives,
• 36:28
  just
• 36:28
  garlic.
• 36:28
  They
• 36:29
  tried
• 36:29
  the
• 36:29
  other
• 36:29
  ones.
• 36:30
  They
• 36:30
  didn't
• 36:30
  work.
• 36:31
  Yeah,
• 36:31
  they
• 36:31
  didn't
• 36:31
  do
• 36:32
  anything
• 36:32
  to
• 36:32
  vampires.
• 36:32
  Why
• 36:33
  would
• 36:33
  he
• 36:33
  grow.
• 36:34
  That
• 36:34
  is
• 36:35
  one
• 36:35
  of
• 36:35
  the
• 36:35
  few
• 36:35
  things
• 36:36
  that
• 36:36
  is
• 36:37
  biochemical
• 36:39
  and
• 36:39
  not
• 36:39
  just
• 36:39
  psychological.
• 36:40
  The
• 36:40
  revulsion
• 36:41
  to
• 36:41
  garlic.
• 36:42
  Yeah.
• 36:42
  Which
• 36:43
  is
• 36:43
  so
• 36:43
  cool.
• 36:44
  I
• 36:44
  just
• 36:44
  think
• 36:44
  it's
• 36:45
  really
• 36:45
  interesting
• 36:45
  what
• 36:45
  he
• 36:45
  decided
• 36:46
  to
• 36:46
  go
• 36:46
  with
• 36:46
  there
• 36:47
  and
• 36:48
  wish
• 36:48
  we
• 36:48
  could
• 36:48
  prove
• 36:48
  it
• 36:48
  wrong,
• 36:49
  but
• 36:49
  I.
• 36:49
  I
• 36:50
  do
• 36:50
  really
• 36:50
  feel
• 36:50
  like
• 36:51
  it
• 36:51
  would
• 36:51
  have
• 36:51
  served
• 36:52
  better
• 36:52
  to
• 36:53
  be
• 36:55
  at
• 36:55
  least
• 36:56
  twice
• 36:56
  as
• 36:57
  long,
• 36:57
  you
• 36:57
  know,
• 36:58
  like
• 36:58
  it
• 36:58
  could
• 36:59
  have
• 36:59
  been
• 36:59
  just
• 37:00
  barely,
• 37:00
  not
• 37:00
  a
• 37:00
  novella.
• 37:01
  And
• 37:01
  I
• 37:01
  think
• 37:01
  that
• 37:01
  would
• 37:01
  have
• 37:02
  served
• 37:02
  it
• 37:02
  wonderfully
• 37:04
  just
• 37:04
  so
• 37:04
  we
• 37:04
  could
• 37:05
  get
• 37:05
  a
• 37:05
  little
• 37:05
  bit
• 37:05
  more
• 37:06
  of
• 37:06
  that
• 37:06
  depth.
• 37:08
  I
• 37:08
  feel
• 37:08
  like
• 37:10
  him
• 37:11
  showing
• 37:11
  compassion
• 37:12
  for
• 37:14
  Ben
• 37:14
  Cortman
• 37:15
  and
• 37:15
  just
• 37:16
  shows
• 37:16
  to
• 37:16
  us
• 37:17
  that
• 37:17
  he
• 37:17
  could
• 37:17
  have.
• 37:18
  He
• 37:18
  could
• 37:19
  have
• 37:19
  blended
• 37:19
  in
• 37:19
  with
• 37:19
  this
• 37:19
  new
• 37:20
  society.
• 37:21
  Really
• 37:21
  could
• 37:21
  have.
• 37:22
  And
• 37:22
  I
• 37:22
  think
• 37:22
  it
• 37:22
  would
• 37:22
  have
• 37:22
  been
• 37:23
  interesting
• 37:23
  to
• 37:23
  see
• 37:24
  what
• 37:24
  that
• 37:24
  was
• 37:24
  like.
• 37:25
  But
• 37:25
  once
• 37:26
  again,
• 37:26
  it
• 37:27
  was
• 37:27
  too
• 37:27
  late
• 37:27
  for
• 37:28
  him
• 37:28
  because
• 37:28
  he
• 37:28
  had
• 37:29
  been,
• 37:29
  you
• 37:30
  know,
• 37:30
  during
• 37:30
  their
• 37:30
  night,
• 37:31
  he
• 37:31
  had
• 37:31
  been
• 37:31
  going
• 37:32
  into
• 37:32
  their
• 37:32
  homes
• 37:33
  and
• 37:33
  killing
• 37:33
  them.
• 37:33
  And
• 37:34
  he
• 37:34
  only
• 37:34
  got
• 37:35
  better
• 37:35
  at
• 37:35
  doing
• 37:35
  it.
• 37:35
  He
• 37:36
  got
• 37:36
  more
• 37:36
  efficient.
• 37:36
  He
• 37:37
  didn't
• 37:37
  have
• 37:37
  to
• 37:38
  lay
• 37:38
  the
• 37:38
  dowels
• 37:39
  to
• 37:40
  go
• 37:40
  kill
• 37:40
  45
• 37:41
  of
• 37:41
  them
• 37:41
  a
• 37:42
  day
• 37:42
  while
• 37:42
  they
• 37:42
  sleep.
• 37:43
  He
• 37:44
  just
• 37:44
  found
• 37:45
  out
• 37:45
  he
• 37:45
  could
• 37:45
  just
• 37:46
  cut
• 37:46
  their
• 37:46
  wrist.
• 37:48
  Anything
• 37:48
  to
• 37:48
  stop
• 37:48
  the.
• 37:49
  He
• 37:49
  calls
• 37:49
  it
• 37:49
  body
• 37:50
  glue.
• 37:50
  That
• 37:50
  makes
• 37:51
  them
• 37:51
  bulletproof.
• 37:51
  Anything
• 37:52
  to
• 37:52
  stop
• 37:52
  that
• 37:52
  from
• 37:52
  forming,
• 37:53
  that
• 37:53
  works.
• 37:53
  That's
• 37:53
  why
• 37:53
  stakes
• 37:54
  worked.
• 37:54
  Body
• 37:55
  glue
• 37:55
  just
• 37:55
  couldn't
• 37:56
  form
• 37:56
  around
• 37:56
  them.
• 37:57
  Yeah,
• 37:57
  I.
• 37:58
  I'm
• 37:58
  still
• 37:58
  unclear
• 37:59
  as
• 37:59
  to
• 37:59
  why
• 37:59
  a
• 37:59
  bullet
• 38:00
  didn't
• 38:00
  have
• 38:00
  the
• 38:00
  same.
• 38:00
  Effect,
• 38:01
  but
• 38:03
  that
• 38:03
  one
• 38:03
  was
• 38:03
  him,
• 38:03
  that
• 38:04
  one
• 38:04
  was
• 38:04
  Matheson
• 38:05
  being
• 38:05
  like,
• 38:06
  oh,
• 38:06
  no,
• 38:06
  guns
• 38:06
  would
• 38:06
  make
• 38:06
  this
• 38:07
  too
• 38:07
  easy.
• 38:09
  Got
• 38:09
  to
• 38:09
  figure
• 38:09
  something
• 38:09
  out.
• 38:10
  Yeah.
• 38:10
  Because,
• 38:10
  you
• 38:11
  know,
• 38:11
  Dracula,
• 38:12
  they
• 38:12
  didn't
• 38:12
  have
• 38:12
  to
• 38:12
  worry
• 38:12
  about
• 38:13
  that.
• 38:13
  Yep,
• 38:14
  they
• 38:14
  didn't
• 38:15
  have
• 38:15
  to
• 38:15
  worry
• 38:15
  about
• 38:15
  that.
• 38:16
  But
• 38:16
  is
• 38:17
  there
• 38:17
  anything
• 38:17
  else
• 38:17
  you
• 38:17
  want
• 38:17
  to
• 38:18
  mention
• 38:19
  about
• 38:19
  the
• 38:19
  story
• 38:20
  before
• 38:21
  we,
• 38:21
  you
• 38:21
  know,
• 38:22
  before
• 38:22
  we
• 38:22
  start
• 38:22
  to
• 38:22
  wrap
• 38:23
  up?
• 38:23
  Well,
• 38:23
  you
• 38:24
  know,
• 38:24
  I
• 38:24
  did
• 38:25
  think
• 38:26
  so.
• 38:26
  It
• 38:26
  turns
• 38:26
  out
• 38:26
  that,
• 38:26
  you
• 38:26
  know,
• 38:27
  1954
• 38:27
  is
• 38:28
  a
• 38:28
  pretty
• 38:28
  notable
• 38:29
  time
• 38:30
  in
• 38:30
  the
• 38:31
  history
• 38:31
  of
• 38:32
  molecular
• 38:32
  biology.
• 38:34
  So
• 38:34
  1953
• 38:37
  is
• 38:37
  the
• 38:37
  year
• 38:38
  when
• 38:38
  Watson
• 38:39
  and
• 38:39
  Crick
• 38:39
  and
• 38:40
  Rosalind
• 38:41
  Franklin
• 38:43
  are
• 38:43
  able
• 38:44
  to
• 38:44
  resolve
• 38:44
  the
• 38:46
  structure,
• 38:47
  the
• 38:47
  3D
• 38:47
  structure
• 38:48
  of
• 38:48
  DNA,
• 38:49
  the
• 38:50
  famous
• 38:50
  double
• 38:50
  helix
• 38:51
  that
• 38:51
  we
• 38:51
  now
• 38:51
  see
• 38:51
  everywhere.
• 38:54
  It
• 38:54
  was
• 38:54
  only
• 38:54
  1952
• 38:56
  was
• 38:57
  the
• 38:58
  famous
• 38:58
  Hershey
• 38:59
  Chase
• 38:59
  series
• 39:00
  of
• 39:00
  experiments
• 39:02
  that
• 39:03
  proved
• 39:04
  to
• 39:04
  the
• 39:04
  satisfaction
• 39:05
  of
• 39:06
  pretty
• 39:06
  much
• 39:06
  most
• 39:06
  of
• 39:06
  the
• 39:06
  biology
• 39:07
  community
• 39:07
  at
• 39:07
  that
• 39:07
  point.
• 39:08
  That
• 39:08
  DNA
• 39:09
  was
• 39:10
  the
• 39:10
  material
• 39:10
  of
• 39:11
  inheritance.
• 39:11
  When
• 39:11
  we
• 39:11
  talk
• 39:12
  about
• 39:12
  our
• 39:12
  genes
• 39:12
  and
• 39:13
  what
• 39:13
  we
• 39:13
  get
• 39:13
  from
• 39:13
  our
• 39:14
  parents,
• 39:15
  that
• 39:15
  it
• 39:15
  was
• 39:15
  DNA
• 39:16
  that's
• 39:16
  carrying
• 39:17
  that
• 39:18
  for
• 39:18
  the
• 39:19
  previous
• 39:21
  60ish
• 39:23
  years,
• 39:24
  maybe
• 39:24
  longer
• 39:25
  than
• 39:25
  that,
• 39:25
  maybe
• 39:26
  70
• 39:26
  or
• 39:27
  80
• 39:27
  years,
• 39:27
  DNA,
• 39:28
  we
• 39:29
  knew
• 39:29
  what
• 39:29
  the
• 39:29
  sort
• 39:30
  of
• 39:30
  biochemical
• 39:30
  makeup
• 39:31
  of
• 39:31
  cells
• 39:32
  were.
• 39:32
  We
• 39:33
  knew
• 39:33
  that
• 39:33
  DNA
• 39:33
  was
• 39:33
  a
• 39:34
  thing
• 39:34
  that
• 39:35
  was
• 39:35
  present
• 39:35
  in
• 39:36
  all
• 39:36
  cells.
• 39:36
  But
• 39:37
  most
• 39:37
  biologists
• 39:38
  were
• 39:38
  persuaded
• 39:39
  that
• 39:41
  DNA
• 39:41
  was
• 39:41
  too
• 39:41
  simple
• 39:42
  to
• 39:42
  be
• 39:42
  the
• 39:42
  genetic
• 39:43
  material
• 39:44
  and
• 39:44
  that
• 39:44
  it
• 39:44
  was
• 39:44
  proteins
• 39:45
  that
• 39:46
  were
• 39:47
  actually
• 39:48
  what
• 39:48
  was
• 39:48
  responsible
• 39:48
  for
• 39:49
  inheritable
• 39:50
  traits
• 39:51
  or
• 39:51
  was
• 39:51
  the
• 39:51
  thing
• 39:52
  that
• 39:52
  got
• 39:52
  passed
• 39:52
  down
• 39:52
  from
• 39:53
  parent
• 39:53
  to
• 39:53
  child.
• 39:54
  And
• 39:55
  so,
• 39:55
  yeah,
• 39:56
  it
• 39:56
  was
• 39:56
  only
• 39:56
  1952.
• 39:58
  There
• 39:58
  were
• 39:58
  some
• 39:58
  experiments
• 39:59
  in
• 39:59
  the
• 39:59
  1940s
• 40:00
  that
• 40:01
  strongly
• 40:01
  suggested
• 40:02
  that
• 40:02
  DNA
• 40:03
  was
• 40:03
  the
• 40:04
  genetic
• 40:04
  material,
• 40:04
  but
• 40:05
  folks
• 40:05
  were
• 40:05
  still
• 40:05
  skeptical.
• 40:06
  And
• 40:07
  so,
• 40:07
  yeah,
• 40:07
  it
• 40:07
  was
• 40:07
  1952,
• 40:10
  Hershey
• 40:10
  Chase
• 40:10
  experiments
• 40:11
  that
• 40:11
  involved
• 40:12
  radioactively
• 40:13
  labeling
• 40:13
  bacteriophages,
• 40:14
  which
• 40:15
  make
• 40:15
  an
• 40:15
  appearance
• 40:16
  in
• 40:16
  the
• 40:16
  book,
• 40:18
  radioactively
• 40:19
  labeling
• 40:19
  bacteriophages,
• 40:20
  which
• 40:20
  are
• 40:20
  basically
• 40:21
  just
• 40:21
  protein
• 40:22
  coded
• 40:22
  DNA
• 40:23
  and
• 40:24
  nothing
• 40:24
  else.
• 40:25
  And
• 40:26
  so
• 40:28
  they
• 40:28
  labeled
• 40:29
  the
• 40:29
  proteins
• 40:29
  with
• 40:30
  one
• 40:30
  radioactive
• 40:31
  isotope,
• 40:32
  radioactive
• 40:32
  sulfur,
• 40:33
  the
• 40:33
  DNA
• 40:34
  with
• 40:34
  radioactive
• 40:34
  phosphorus
• 40:36
  in
• 40:36
  separate
• 40:37
  bits.
• 40:37
  So
• 40:37
  some
• 40:37
  of
• 40:37
  the
• 40:37
  viruses
• 40:38
  had
• 40:38
  radioactive
• 40:38
  sulfur,
• 40:39
  some
• 40:39
  of
• 40:39
  them
• 40:39
  had
• 40:39
  radioactive
• 40:40
  phosphorus
• 40:40
  and
• 40:41
  infected
• 40:41
  bacteria
• 40:42
  and
• 40:42
  found
• 40:42
  that
• 40:42
  what
• 40:42
  went
• 40:43
  inside
• 40:43
  the
• 40:43
  bacteria
• 40:44
  to
• 40:44
  cause
• 40:44
  the
• 40:44
  infection
• 40:45
  was
• 40:48
  the
• 40:48
  phosphorus
• 40:48
  labeled
• 40:49
  DNA
• 40:49
  and
• 40:49
  that
• 40:49
  the
• 40:50
  sulfur
• 40:50
  labeled
• 40:51
  protein
• 40:51
  all
• 40:51
  stayed
• 40:52
  on
• 40:52
  the
• 40:52
  outside
• 40:52
  of
• 40:52
  the
• 40:52
  bacteria.
• 40:53
  That
• 40:54
  was
• 40:54
  the
• 40:54
  thing
• 40:54
  that
• 40:54
  finally
• 40:55
  convinced
• 40:55
  people.
• 40:56
  It's
• 40:56
  interesting
• 40:56
  to
• 40:56
  read
• 40:57
  in
• 40:57
  the
• 40:57
  book,
• 40:57
  he
• 40:57
  talks
• 40:57
  about
• 40:58
  the.
• 40:59
  He
• 40:59
  talks
• 40:59
  about
• 40:59
  bacteriophage.
• 41:01
  They
• 41:01
  seem
• 41:01
  to
• 41:01
  be
• 41:02
  a
• 41:02
  little
• 41:02
  bit
• 41:02
  confused
• 41:02
  as
• 41:02
  to
• 41:03
  what
• 41:03
  they
• 41:03
  are
• 41:04
  because
• 41:04
  he
• 41:04
  talks
• 41:04
  about
• 41:04
  the
• 41:05
  disorder
• 41:05
  being
• 41:05
  protein,
• 41:06
  when
• 41:07
  in
• 41:07
  fact,
• 41:07
  they
• 41:08
  are
• 41:08
  viruses
• 41:08
  that
• 41:08
  infect
• 41:09
  bacteria,
• 41:10
  so
• 41:10
  they
• 41:10
  have
• 41:10
  both
• 41:11
  DNA
• 41:11
  and
• 41:11
  protein.
• 41:14
  But
• 41:14
  he's
• 41:15
  kind
• 41:15
  of
• 41:15
  right
• 41:15
  at
• 41:15
  the
• 41:15
  cusp.
• 41:15
  And
• 41:17
  the
• 41:17
  results
• 41:17
  of
• 41:17
  the
• 41:18
  Chase
• 41:18
  Hershey
• 41:18
  experiments
• 41:19
  may
• 41:19
  not
• 41:19
  have
• 41:19
  reached
• 41:20
  the
• 41:20
  General
• 41:21
  public
• 41:21
  by
• 41:21
  1953
• 41:23
  or
• 41:23
  4.
• 41:24
  I'm
• 41:24
  not
• 41:24
  sure
• 41:25
  when
• 41:25
  he
• 41:25
  wrote
• 41:25
  the
• 41:25
  story
• 41:25
  versus
• 41:25
  when
• 41:25
  he
• 41:26
  was
• 41:26
  published.
• 41:27
  So,
• 41:28
  you
• 41:28
  know,
• 41:28
  not
• 41:28
  a
• 41:28
  criticism,
• 41:29
  but
• 41:29
  it's
• 41:29
  just
• 41:29
  kind
• 41:29
  of
• 41:29
  interesting
• 41:30
  that,
• 41:30
  like,
• 41:30
  he's
• 41:30
  kind
• 41:31
  of
• 41:31
  right
• 41:31
  in
• 41:31
  some
• 41:31
  ways,
• 41:32
  right
• 41:32
  on
• 41:32
  the
• 41:32
  cutting
• 41:32
  edge
• 41:33
  of
• 41:33
  molecular
• 41:34
  biology
• 41:34
  of
• 41:34
  the
• 41:34
  day
• 41:34
  by
• 41:35
  writing
• 41:35
  about
• 41:36
  bacteriophages
• 41:37
  and
• 41:37
  some
• 41:38
  of
• 41:38
  these
• 41:38
  different
• 41:39
  issues.
• 41:40
  But,
• 41:41
  yeah.
• 41:42
  Oh,
• 41:42
  it's
• 41:43
  also,
• 41:43
  as
• 41:44
  a
• 41:44
  historical
• 41:44
  note,
• 41:44
  it's
• 41:45
  kind
• 41:45
  of
• 41:45
  interesting
• 41:45
  that
• 41:47
  Hershey
• 41:47
  Chase
• 41:48
  kind
• 41:49
  of
• 41:49
  got
• 41:49
  lucky
• 41:49
  in
• 41:50
  their
• 41:50
  choice
• 41:50
  of
• 41:52
  model
• 41:52
  system,
• 41:53
  because
• 41:54
  bacteriophages
• 41:55
  or
• 41:55
  the
• 41:55
  bacteriophages
• 41:56
  they
• 41:56
  were
• 41:56
  using
• 41:58
  inject
• 41:59
  their
• 41:59
  DNA
• 42:00
  into
• 42:01
  the
• 42:01
  interior
• 42:02
  of
• 42:02
  the
• 42:02
  bacterial
• 42:03
  cell.
• 42:04
  But
• 42:04
  that's
• 42:04
  not
• 42:04
  how
• 42:05
  all
• 42:05
  viruses
• 42:05
  work.
• 42:05
  A
• 42:06
  lot
• 42:06
  of
• 42:06
  viruses,
• 42:06
  actually
• 42:07
  the
• 42:07
  whole
• 42:07
  thing,
• 42:07
  protein
• 42:08
  and
• 42:08
  nucleic
• 42:09
  acid
• 42:09
  in
• 42:09
  total,
• 42:10
  get
• 42:10
  taken
• 42:10
  up
• 42:11
  by
• 42:11
  the
• 42:11
  cell
• 42:11
  that
• 42:11
  they're
• 42:11
  infecting,
• 42:14
  and
• 42:14
  then
• 42:15
  they
• 42:15
  separate
• 42:15
  inside
• 42:16
  the
• 42:16
  cell
• 42:16
  and
• 42:16
  replicate.
• 42:17
  And
• 42:18
  so
• 42:18
  if
• 42:19
  they'd
• 42:19
  used
• 42:19
  a
• 42:20
  different
• 42:20
  virus
• 42:20
  model,
• 42:21
  they
• 42:21
  would
• 42:21
  have
• 42:21
  actually
• 42:21
  gotten
• 42:23
  inconclusive
• 42:23
  results.
• 42:23
  And
• 42:24
  it
• 42:24
  might
• 42:24
  have
• 42:24
  taken
• 42:24
  even
• 42:25
  longer
• 42:25
  to
• 42:25
  figure
• 42:25
  out
• 42:25
  what
• 42:26
  that
• 42:27
  DNA
• 42:27
  was,
• 42:28
  what
• 42:28
  our
• 42:28
  genes
• 42:28
  were
• 42:28
  made
• 42:28
  out
• 42:29
  of.
• 42:29
  But
• 42:30
  it
• 42:31
  worked
• 42:31
  out
• 42:31
  in
• 42:31
  their
• 42:31
  favor.
• 42:32
  So
• 42:32
  that
• 42:32
  was
• 42:32
  just.
• 42:32
  That's
• 42:33
  an
• 42:33
  interesting
• 42:33
  little
• 42:34
  anecdote,
• 42:35
  but
• 42:35
  yeah,
• 42:35
  so
• 42:35
  it
• 42:35
  just
• 42:36
  kind
• 42:36
  of,
• 42:36
  you
• 42:36
  know,
• 42:36
  it's
• 42:37
  cool
• 42:37
  to
• 42:37
  think
• 42:37
  about,
• 42:38
  you
• 42:38
  know,
• 42:39
  for
• 42:39
  how
• 42:39
  much
• 42:40
  detail
• 42:40
  there
• 42:40
  is
• 42:41
  in
• 42:41
  the
• 42:41
  biology
• 42:42
  of
• 42:43
  the
• 42:43
  story.
• 42:44
  A
• 42:44
  lot
• 42:44
  of
• 42:44
  that
• 42:44
  was,
• 42:45
  you
• 42:46
  know,
• 42:46
  fairly,
• 42:46
  fairly
• 42:47
  contemporary
• 42:47
  science
• 42:49
  and
• 42:49
  other
• 42:50
  elements.
• 42:52
  Most
• 42:52
  of
• 42:53
  what
• 42:53
  we
• 42:53
  know
• 42:53
  about
• 42:53
  germ
• 42:54
  theory
• 42:54
  and
• 42:54
  bacteria
• 42:55
  and
• 42:55
  so
• 42:55
  forth
• 42:56
  was
• 42:57
  a
• 42:57
  product
• 42:57
  of
• 42:57
  the
• 42:57
  previous
• 42:58
  50
• 42:58
  years
• 42:58
  of
• 42:59
  biology.
• 43:00
  So
• 43:00
  still
• 43:01
  fairly
• 43:01
  recent
• 43:03
  developments.
• 43:04
  Yeah.
• 43:04
  I
• 43:04
  think
• 43:05
  there's
• 43:06
  one
• 43:06
  point
• 43:06
  where
• 43:06
  he
• 43:07
  had
• 43:07
  just
• 43:07
  gotten
• 43:08
  into
• 43:08
  his
• 43:08
  scientific
• 43:09
  streak
• 43:09
  where
• 43:10
  he
• 43:11
  admonishes
• 43:11
  germ
• 43:12
  theory.
• 43:13
  He's
• 43:13
  like,
• 43:13
  oh,
• 43:14
  of
• 43:14
  course
• 43:14
  they
• 43:14
  were
• 43:14
  right.
• 43:14
  Of
• 43:15
  course
• 43:15
  germs
• 43:15
  are
• 43:15
  real.
• 43:16
  That's
• 43:16
  why
• 43:16
  we're
• 43:17
  in
• 43:17
  this
• 43:17
  mess.
• 43:19
  I
• 43:19
  thought
• 43:19
  that
• 43:19
  was
• 43:19
  really
• 43:19
  funny.
• 43:20
  But
• 43:20
  that's
• 43:21
  what
• 43:21
  makes
• 43:21
  this
• 43:21
  a
• 43:22
  science
• 43:22
  fiction
• 43:23
  novella
• 43:23
  instead
• 43:24
  of
• 43:24
  just
• 43:24
  a
• 43:24
  horror
• 43:24
  novella.
• 43:25
  Because
• 43:25
  at
• 43:26
  the
• 43:26
  time,
• 43:27
  this
• 43:27
  is
• 43:27
  the
• 43:28
  cutting
• 43:28
  edge.
• 43:29
  This
• 43:29
  is
• 43:29
  real
• 43:29
  science.
• 43:31
  These
• 43:31
  days,
• 43:32
  my
• 43:32
  eyes
• 43:32
  would
• 43:32
  probably
• 43:33
  bounce
• 43:33
  off
• 43:33
  of
• 43:33
  this
• 43:33
  on
• 43:34
  a
• 43:34
  page,
• 43:35
  but
• 43:35
  he
• 43:36
  was
• 43:36
  in
• 43:36
  it.
• 43:36
  He
• 43:36
  was
• 43:37
  in
• 43:37
  the
• 43:37
  cut,
• 43:37
  as
• 43:37
  the
• 43:37
  kids
• 43:38
  would
• 43:38
  say.
• 43:40
  But
• 43:40
  I
• 43:41
  think
• 43:41
  that's
• 43:41
  it
• 43:41
  for
• 43:41
  us,
• 43:42
  for
• 43:42
  I
• 43:42
  am
• 43:42
  legendary.
• 43:44
  Let
• 43:44
  us
• 43:45
  know
• 43:45
  if
• 43:45
  you
• 43:45
  want
• 43:45
  us
• 43:46
  to
• 43:46
  specifically
• 43:47
  review
• 43:47
  any
• 43:47
  of
• 43:47
  the
• 43:48
  three
• 43:48
  movies.
• 43:49
  We
• 43:49
  will.
• 43:50
  I'm
• 43:50
  down
• 43:50
  to
• 43:50
  rewatch
• 43:51
  all
• 43:51
  of
• 43:51
  them.
• 43:52
  Andy
• 43:52
  is
• 43:53
  not
• 43:53
  a
• 43:53
  vampire
• 43:53
  fan,
• 43:54
  so
• 43:54
  we
• 43:55
  can
• 43:55
  exclude
• 43:55
  him
• 43:56
  if
• 43:56
  he.
• 43:56
  If
• 43:56
  he
• 43:57
  doesn't
• 43:57
  want
• 43:57
  to,
• 43:57
  but
• 43:58
  I'll
• 43:58
  do
• 43:58
  it.
• 44:00
  And
• 44:00
  as
• 44:01
  for
• 44:02
  our
• 44:02
  supporters,
• 44:03
  they
• 44:03
  get
• 44:04
  an
• 44:04
  extra
• 44:04
  question,
• 44:05
  and
• 44:05
  that
• 44:06
  question
• 44:06
  is
• 44:06
  going
• 44:06
  to
• 44:07
  be,
• 44:07
  if
• 44:08
  you
• 44:08
  were
• 44:08
  in
• 44:08
  this
• 44:08
  situation,
• 44:09
  is
• 44:09
  there
• 44:10
  a
• 44:10
  specific
• 44:11
  person's
• 44:11
  house
• 44:12
  or
• 44:12
  business
• 44:13
  that
• 44:13
  you
• 44:13
  would
• 44:13
  want
• 44:13
  to
• 44:14
  hold
• 44:14
  yourself
• 44:14
  up
• 44:14
  in?
• 44:15
  We're
• 44:15
  going
• 44:15
  to
• 44:15
  answer
• 44:16
  that
• 44:17
  after
• 44:17
  we
• 44:17
  finish.
• 44:19
  So
• 44:21
  do
• 44:21
  you
• 44:21
  have
• 44:21
  a
• 44:21
  recommendation
• 44:22
  for
• 44:22
  somebody
• 44:23
  that
• 44:23
  isn't
• 44:24
  a
• 44:24
  novella,
• 44:25
  you
• 44:25
  know,
• 44:25
  something
• 44:26
  to
• 44:26
  read
• 44:26
  that's
• 44:26
  not
• 44:26
  a
• 44:26
  novella?
• 44:27
  Sure.
• 44:28
  So
• 44:30
  I'm
• 44:30
  going
• 44:30
  to
• 44:30
  bang
• 44:30
  a
• 44:31
  drum
• 44:31
  that
• 44:31
  I've
• 44:31
  banged
• 44:32
  before.
• 44:32
  But
• 44:33
  the
• 44:34
  book
• 44:34
  that
• 44:34
  this
• 44:35
  most
• 44:35
  put
• 44:35
  me
• 44:35
  in
• 44:35
  mind
• 44:35
  of
• 44:36
  was
• 44:36
  Project
• 44:36
  Cal
• 44:37
  Mary
• 44:37
  by
• 44:37
  Andy
• 44:38
  Weird,
• 44:38
  which
• 44:39
  also
• 44:39
  has
• 44:39
  a
• 44:39
  lot
• 44:39
  of
• 44:40
  microbiology
• 44:40
  at
• 44:41
  its
• 44:41
  center
• 44:42
  and
• 44:42
  will
• 44:42
  also
• 44:43
  be
• 44:43
  adapted
• 44:43
  into
• 44:44
  a
• 44:44
  forthcoming
• 44:44
  movie.
• 44:46
  This
• 44:46
  coming
• 44:46
  March,
• 44:47
  I
• 44:47
  believe
• 44:47
  is
• 44:47
  the
• 44:47
  release
• 44:48
  date
• 44:48
  now
• 44:49
  with
• 44:49
  Ryan
• 44:49
  Gosling,
• 44:50
  directed
• 44:50
  by
• 44:51
  Lord
• 44:51
  and
• 44:51
  Miller.
• 44:52
  So
• 44:53
  I've
• 44:53
  been
• 44:53
  very
• 44:54
  excited
• 44:54
  about
• 44:54
  that
• 44:54
  movie.
• 44:54
  That
• 44:55
  was
• 44:55
  the
• 44:55
  movie
• 44:55
  I
• 44:55
  was
• 44:55
  most
• 44:56
  looking
• 44:56
  forward
• 44:56
  to
• 44:56
  this
• 44:56
  year
• 44:57
  until
• 44:57
  I
• 44:57
  found
• 44:57
  out
• 44:57
  that
• 44:57
  it
• 44:58
  wasn't
• 44:58
  actually
• 44:58
  coming
• 44:58
  out
• 44:58
  this
• 44:59
  year.
• 45:00
  But
• 45:00
  they
• 45:00
  filmed
• 45:01
  it
• 45:01
  last
• 45:01
  year.
• 45:01
  They
• 45:01
  could
• 45:01
  have
• 45:01
  put
• 45:02
  it
• 45:02
  out
• 45:02
  this
• 45:02
  year.
• 45:04
  They
• 45:04
  didn't
• 45:04
  do
• 45:04
  it
• 45:04
  just
• 45:05
  to
• 45:05
  make
• 45:05
  you
• 45:05
  upset.
• 45:06
  Well,
• 45:06
  you
• 45:06
  know,
• 45:07
  there
• 45:07
  were
• 45:07
  a
• 45:07
  lot
• 45:07
  of
• 45:08
  movies
• 45:08
  that
• 45:08
  had
• 45:08
  come
• 45:08
  out
• 45:08
  this
• 45:08
  year
• 45:09
  because
• 45:09
  of
• 45:09
  the
• 45:09
  strikes
• 45:09
  and
• 45:10
  all
• 45:10
  the
• 45:10
  previous
• 45:11
  year.
• 45:11
  So
• 45:12
  I
• 45:12
  understand
• 45:12
  the
• 45:13
  business
• 45:13
  of
• 45:13
  these
• 45:13
  things
• 45:14
  a
• 45:14
  little
• 45:14
  bit.
• 45:16
