0:12
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Richard Keel, Jaws from the James Bond movies,
0:17
Speaker 1: and you're listening to Movie Meltdown.
0:34
Speaker 2: It's showtime.
0:35
Speaker 3: The following feature has been rated R by the Motion
0:38
Speaker 3: Picture Association of America. It is intended for mature audiences
0:43
Speaker 3: and parental discretion is advised.
0:45
Speaker 4: Our nuclear reactor pumping out one million kilowatts of power.
1:32
Speaker 5: What's up and welcome to Movie Meltdown. I'm Brian.
1:34
Speaker 2: I'm Marlena.
1:35
Speaker 6: And we are coming to you live via digital recording
1:37
Speaker 6: from the River City Festival of Films. And we will
1:40
Speaker 6: now go ahead and bring in our co-host or... Host
1:44
Speaker 6: for this festival, however, you guys can introduce yourselves and
1:47
Speaker 6: tell people about the festival itself.
1:49
Speaker 7: I'm Wesley Johnson. I'm the vendor coordinator, and I tell
1:52
Speaker 7: people where to sit. That he does, and he tells
1:56
Speaker 7: them well.
1:57
Speaker 8: I'm PJ Starks, and I am the creator slash event
2:00
Speaker 8: facilitator of the festival.
2:02
Speaker 5: All right. So I guess what initially brought this together?
2:07
Speaker 8: Well, this is year three, and originally we were just–
2:11
Speaker 8: I guess the process, the genesis, if you will, was
2:15
Speaker 8: so many other local areas have film festivals much smaller
2:18
Speaker 8: than this. And I thought that was fantastic that some
2:20
Speaker 8: of these areas had that. But I was like, why
2:23
Speaker 8: doesn't Owensboro have a festival? So then I kind of
2:26
Speaker 8: took it upon myself. I've been doing independent film work
2:28
Speaker 8: for a little over six years now. And I said, hey,
2:31
Speaker 8: I'm just going to put a festival together and we'll
2:33
Speaker 8: see what happens. And year one happened at the mall.
2:36
Speaker 8: And it was probably the size of the space that's
2:39
Speaker 8: just our hallway here. So it's pretty incredible that we've
2:42
Speaker 8: gone from that to now over 40,000 square feet and
2:45
Speaker 8: 36 vendors and year two fell completely on its face.
2:48
Speaker 8: So when we went into this year, I said, we've
2:50
Speaker 8: got to have, you know, some celebrity guests and, you know, really,
2:55
Speaker 8: really take it to the next level in order to,
2:57
Speaker 8: you know, well, put butts in seats.
2:59
Speaker 6: So that's what it comes down to really.
3:01
Speaker 5: Here we are. Yeah.
3:02
Speaker 8: And we've had well over, I'd say at this point,
3:04
Speaker 8: well over a thousand people and now Peter's here and,
3:07
Speaker 8: Sir Moe is here, and Dave Shuffet from KET just arrived,
3:11
Speaker 8: so it's pretty incredible so far. That's Peter Weller, to
3:13
Speaker 8: be more specific.
3:15
Speaker 5: Your friend Peter, you know.
3:16
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah. Peter Weller, a.k.a. RoboCop, Sons of Anarchy.
3:21
Speaker 5: Me and Peter go way back. I just call him Peter.
3:24
Speaker 8: I just met him, so we'll pretend I said Mr.
3:27
Speaker 5: Weller.
3:29
Speaker 7: Mr.
3:29
Speaker 5: Weller.
3:31
Speaker 2: My name is Cop, RoboCop.
3:34
Speaker 5: Oh, man.
3:35
Speaker 6: Well, I guess usually we'll do our little intro in
3:38
Speaker 6: the beginning with our geek activities, and we just kind
3:41
Speaker 6: of talk about stuff we've seen or stuff like that.
3:43
Speaker 6: Have you guys seen any films lately other than the
3:46
Speaker 6: ones here? Or you can plug the ones here.
3:48
Speaker 9: I actually saw the Robocop remake, and it was surprisingly good.
3:52
Speaker 5: Really?
3:52
Speaker 9: Yeah, reimagining whatever. It was much more cerebral. I guess
3:56
Speaker 9: it had to be since it was PG-13, but I
3:59
Speaker 9: enjoyed it.
3:59
Speaker 8: It was well acted. The effects are good. Samuel L.
4:01
Speaker 7: Jackson was hilarious. He was like an uber conservative Fox
4:03
Speaker 7: News type reporter. He was pretty funny. But yeah, I
4:07
Speaker 7: liked it.
4:07
Speaker 5: Interesting.
4:09
Speaker 8: What about you, PJ? I have a far less interesting answer.
4:13
Speaker 8: I've been so busy with this, and I also had
4:15
Speaker 8: to do a film series at the library that went
4:17
Speaker 8: for six weeks, so I was working on that. So
4:20
Speaker 8: I really haven't watched too many films lately, except for
4:24
Speaker 8: the films... of course, that were here at the festival.
4:27
Speaker 8: And they're all fantastic, and you should come check them out.
4:30
Speaker 8: Because I'm supposed to say that, right?
4:32
Speaker 6: Well, that's what I fall into all the time. It's like,
4:36
Speaker 6: you run a movie show, you think I'd know, but
4:38
Speaker 6: I spend so much time planning this and editing this
4:41
Speaker 6: that I'll make it through a movie a week, maybe
4:44
Speaker 6: two if I'm lucky.
4:45
Speaker 5: So I try to think of the last thing I've seen.
4:48
Speaker 6: I saw the Spectacular Now.
4:52
Speaker 5: Have you seen that?
4:54
Speaker 9: I've heard the name. I don't think I'm fully aware
4:56
Speaker 9: of it.
4:57
Speaker 5: I really liked it.
4:58
Speaker 6: It's a higher-end indie film, but it's kind of one
5:03
Speaker 6: of those high school kid kind of stories, but it
5:06
Speaker 6: takes a different approach. It's not the super cool high
5:09
Speaker 6: school kids. It's not the dorky kids. It's like those
5:12
Speaker 6: kids in the middle, and it's like the kid that's.
5:14
Speaker 5: Kind of popular but not going anywhere kind of thing,
5:17
Speaker 5: and then the girl that nobody really pays attention to.
5:20
Speaker 6: But is kind of awesome, and it kind of takes
5:22
Speaker 6: a look at that, and And they're not, like, our
5:25
Speaker 6: main character is far from a perfect character.
5:27
Speaker 5: But he's not villainized either.
5:30
Speaker 6: It's a very honest kind of thing where it's, like,
5:32
Speaker 6: kids kind of making mistakes and being stupid and, like,
5:36
Speaker 6: still trying to, like, figure out where they're going in life.
5:39
Speaker 6: Sometimes those go wrong and I don't like them at all,
5:41
Speaker 6: but this one was just really well made.
5:44
Speaker 5: Who's in it? I think that's the thing.
5:46
Speaker 6: I don't know either of the leads from anything else,
5:49
Speaker 6: but they're both really good.
5:51
Speaker 5: I think that girl's starting to.
5:52
Speaker 6: Get more work now, the female lead in it. But, yeah,
5:56
Speaker 6: most of the cast is just kind of up-and-coming actors.
6:00
Speaker 5: What was yours?
6:01
Speaker 2: I watched the movie Munchie.
6:04
Speaker 5: This shouldn't surprise fans of Marlena.
6:06
Speaker 2: I have fans? I don't have fans.
6:09
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm pretty sure I've heard from them. Write in
6:12
Speaker 5: if you love Marlena. You have your own segment. Nobody
6:17
Speaker 5: else has a moment.
6:18
Speaker 10: Dom DeLuise was the voice of Munchie. He looked like
6:21
Speaker 10: a garbage pill kid kind of puppet. It was the
6:23
Speaker 10: best thing I've ever seen in my whole life.
6:26
Speaker 8: It was kind of a 90s answer to Gremlins.
6:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really was.
6:30
Speaker 5: There were a lot of those.
6:32
Speaker 10: I think Jennifer Love Hewitt was in it, but I
6:34
Speaker 10: haven't confirmed that because I've been too lazy to get
6:36
Speaker 10: on Internet Movie Database to confirm.
6:38
Speaker 5: It is a lot of trouble. Yeah.
6:39
Speaker 8: It didn't involve marijuana at all.
6:41
Speaker 7: No.
6:42
Speaker 3: No.
6:42
Speaker 2: No, I was just really tired.
6:44
Speaker 8: No, no, no.
6:45
Speaker 2: Oh, the movie.
6:46
Speaker 5: I'm sure the making of it. Oh, yeah, yeah.
6:49
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:49
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, I'm sure the movie involved lots. I'm sure
6:53
Speaker 10: the movie did, for sure. There's no way that that
6:56
Speaker 10: movie could have been made without lots and lots of
6:58
Speaker 10: heavy drug use.
7:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I watched that. That was amazing. Highly recommend it.
7:04
Speaker 10: I mean, he makes a pizza fly, and then this
7:08
Speaker 10: stereotypical Italian guy chases him down the street with a cleaver.
7:12
Speaker 10: Everything you could ever want in a movie, basically. I've
7:15
Speaker 10: also been attending this French film series. So some of
7:22
Speaker 10: those movies have been really awesome. The last one I
7:24
Speaker 10: watched was called The Minister. I thought that was incredibly
7:27
Speaker 10: boring and horrible. I don't usually have such a visceral
7:32
Speaker 10: reaction to movies. It was just really boring. And I
7:35
Speaker 10: was tired and I was grumpy and I was hungry.
7:37
Speaker 10: That might be what it is. But the first one
7:38
Speaker 10: I watched was a French movie called Police.
7:41
Speaker 11: Which.
7:42
Speaker 10: I actually hated that movie. Like, I hate that movie
7:46
Speaker 10: so much. It's just, like, a lot of really touchy subjects.
7:50
Speaker 10: And I don't think they handled it very well. It's
7:52
Speaker 10: supposed to be, like, a positive movie that shows, like,
7:55
Speaker 10: the child protection unit of, like, Paris at a positive light.
7:59
Speaker 1: No.
8:01
Speaker 11: No.
8:02
Speaker 10: Nope. They laugh about things that just aren't funny. And,
8:04
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm kind of, like, the queen of laughing
8:07
Speaker 10: about things that aren't funny.
8:09
Speaker 2: But this movie took it too far.
8:10
Speaker 7: Yeah.
8:12
Speaker 10: And it was just, it made me real angry. And
8:14
Speaker 10: that's all, yeah, that's pretty much what happened.
8:17
Speaker 6: The full spectrum of your interests.
8:19
Speaker 5: Munchie and French families.
8:21
Speaker 2: Highbrow, lowbrow.
8:23
Speaker 7: I'm a, as far as TV goes, I'm trying to
8:25
Speaker 7: catch up on Sherlock. I missed all that season. And
8:28
Speaker 7: also Justified. I have a soft spot in my heart
8:30
Speaker 7: for anything involving Kentucky crime. Like, we had at the library,
8:35
Speaker 7: James Higdon. I don't know if you guys know him.
8:36
Speaker 7: He lives up in Louisville. He wrote the Cornbread Mafia book.
8:40
Speaker 7: And I think the second... Maybe second or third season
8:43
Speaker 7: of Justified was loosely inspired by that. Ever since I
8:46
Speaker 7: read that book, I've been on Kentucky True Crime. That's
8:50
Speaker 7: my thing.
8:51
Speaker 8: But yeah, Justified's great.
8:52
Speaker 7: It's the only show, I believe, on the air that
8:54
Speaker 7: has accurate Kentucky accents. And I'm sure you can tell
8:57
Speaker 7: from my slight draw that I'm not from.
8:58
Speaker 8: A big city in Kentucky.
9:00
Speaker 7: I always appreciate people who go out of their way
9:02
Speaker 7: to make accurate accents. The Closer, that Kyra Sedgwick show,
9:05
Speaker 7: that kills me every time I hear it. I know
9:06
Speaker 7: she's from Georgia, but no one talks like that.
9:10
Speaker 6: Well, and that's impressive because they don't even shoot that
9:12
Speaker 6: anywhere around here.
9:13
Speaker 5: Like, it's all in L.A., I think, isn't it?
9:15
Speaker 7: I think originally they were doing it in Pittsburgh, but
9:17
Speaker 7: then they moved it out to L.A. And it's a fairly,
9:19
Speaker 7: you know, accurate representation. I think sometimes it looks a little,
9:23
Speaker 7: you know, off or whatever. But, you know, everybody on there,
9:25
Speaker 7: I think, acts really well.
9:27
Speaker 8: It's a great show.
9:27
Speaker 7: It's a great modern-day Western. And the latest season is
9:30
Speaker 7: pretty crazy. Not so much as the last season, but
9:33
Speaker 7: it's definitely worth watching. I think they're ending it after
9:35
Speaker 7: the next season.
9:36
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:36
Speaker 8: Kind of going out on a high note.
9:38
Speaker 6: I think they've all kind of learned that. You get
9:40
Speaker 6: a good couple of seasons and then.
9:41
Speaker 8: Don't want to do the lost thing.
9:43
Speaker 5: If you beat it to death, everybody just gets unhappy
9:45
Speaker 5: about it.
9:45
Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure. So what do you think?
9:49
Speaker 9: I'm halfway through this thing.
9:53
Speaker 8: I'm still absorbing. I'm still soaking it all in. Like
9:57
Speaker 8: I said last year, it went from a 12-hour event...
10:01
Speaker 8: where we had maybe 100 people show up and now
10:04
Speaker 8: it's a seven-hour event and we've already had at least
10:08
Speaker 8: i'd say at least 12 to 1500 people come through here.
10:10
Speaker 7: So it did get to 100 second year at least
10:13
Speaker 7: at least okay and that's including all the staff and
10:17
Speaker 7: uh the filmmakers and the two or three filmmakers that
10:20
Speaker 7: showed up and myself. That's a little trick with library statistics.
10:24
Speaker 7: You always count the staff and the people who are presenting.
10:26
Speaker 8: That's right. That's what we do with Unscripted. You guys
10:30
Speaker 8: come to me and you're like, we had about 52 people,
10:33
Speaker 8: and I'm like, no, I counted 64 with staff and everything.
10:36
Speaker 8: The cardboard cutouts we had.
10:39
Speaker 5: Behind the scenes on the business here.
10:41
Speaker 8: Bella was here, Edward. You guys are big fans of
10:44
Speaker 8: the Twilight series at the library.
10:45
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, I love it.
10:47
Speaker 5: You didn't want to go into that on your geek activities.
10:50
Speaker 8: Says the man who pulled Breaking Dawn out of the
10:52
Speaker 8: DVD player.
10:52
Speaker 5: Oh, shut up.
10:53
Speaker 8: My wife. I was like, hey, guys. The last thing
10:57
Speaker 8: I was watching. There you go. One of the last
10:59
Speaker 8: things I watched, Olympus Has Fallen. I watched about 20
11:02
Speaker 8: minutes of it, and then I had to go to bed.
11:04
Speaker 9: That's a lot of Channing Tatum, right?
11:06
Speaker 8: No, that's White House down. That's Olympus Has Fallen Part 2. Oh, right. Everyone,
11:12
Speaker 8: the president is Morgan Freeman, right? He really is, isn't he?
11:15
Speaker 8: Aren't we getting elected now? He becomes the president. No spoilers. Oh,
11:19
Speaker 8: I'm sorry.
11:19
Speaker 9: It's a complex plot.
11:20
Speaker 8: He becomes the president, but I won't tell you how.
11:22
Speaker 8: You'll have to watch and find out. He uses his
11:24
Speaker 8: God powers. I will say, though, that Gerard Butler does
11:27
Speaker 8: not take his shirt off at any point during that movie.
11:30
Speaker 8: He normally does, but Law-Abiding Citizen, if you want to
11:34
Speaker 8: see his glutes and his back and everything, that's what
11:37
Speaker 8: you want to watch.
11:39
Speaker 5: That is what's selling these movies.
11:42
Speaker 8: Hey, you made a joke I laughed at.
11:43
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks.
11:44
Speaker 8: We appreciate your support. Well, you know, I try. But anyway,
11:48
Speaker 8: going back to your original question, I'm feeling really good
11:51
Speaker 8: about this. Anytime I go into an event, I hope
12:00
Speaker 8: for the best, but I expect the absolute worst.
12:02
Speaker 5: That's become my take on all of mine.
12:04
Speaker 8: And I would say right now this is probably, like
12:07
Speaker 8: after last year, there was nowhere left to go. We
12:10
Speaker 8: were already at the bottom.
12:11
Speaker 5: Yeah.
12:12
Speaker 8: So there's nowhere left to go but up. And I'd
12:13
Speaker 8: say we definitely went up in droves. Definitely. So I'm
12:19
Speaker 8: feeling really good about this whole thing. I'm really close
12:22
Speaker 8: to your face right now, so I hope I don't
12:24
Speaker 8: have bad breath.
12:24
Speaker 5: That's okay.
12:25
Speaker 8: I'm used to it. Oh, he is. But, yeah, so
12:32
Speaker 8: I hope it continues. Now that I've talked about it,
12:35
Speaker 8: everybody's just going to leave for some reason.
12:37
Speaker 11: Yeah.
12:37
Speaker 5: They're like, oh, never mind.
12:39
Speaker 8: And Peter Weller's going to throw his hands up and
12:40
Speaker 8: be like, why did I come all the way to Owensboro? Kentucky.
12:44
Speaker 6: Are you trying to convince him to leave?
12:47
Speaker 3: Yes.
12:47
Speaker 8: He didn't know he was in Kentucky.
12:49
Speaker 11: Yes.
12:50
Speaker 8: He knows now. Unless it's Owensboro, New York. Is there
12:55
Speaker 8: an Owensboro, New York? I don't know.
12:57
Speaker 5: There might be.
12:58
Speaker 8: We can make one. We should.
13:00
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've got a good lineup of films. I don't
13:03
Speaker 7: know if you guys are going to get a chance.
13:04
Speaker 7: I know it's kind of hard when you're working in
13:06
Speaker 7: a booth to actually get to see something.
13:07
Speaker 8: It's usually what happens.
13:08
Speaker 9: But, yeah, it's a lot of good, mostly produced in Kentucky, right?
13:12
Speaker 1: Yes.
13:12
Speaker 8: They're all local regional films. There's some from the Indiana area.
13:17
Speaker 8: The area? Because it's just an area. It's not an
13:20
Speaker 8: entire state, but an area. But Evansville, Indiana area. But, yeah,
13:25
Speaker 8: we have filmmakers from all over. Some of the filmmakers
13:27
Speaker 8: here don't actually have... have film screening, but they're here
13:31
Speaker 8: to support and be a part of this epic event.
13:34
Speaker 8: I can say that now because people actually showed up.
13:36
Speaker 5: People showed.
13:36
Speaker 8: I didn't want to say that before today, but now
13:38
Speaker 8: I can say it.
13:39
Speaker 5: Set yourself up to fail. Yeah, it is funny. I've
13:43
Speaker 5: seen several.
13:44
Speaker 6: People that I know from other film vesting conventions, so
13:47
Speaker 6: it's at least.
13:47
Speaker 5: Putting you in the running.
13:48
Speaker 8: Yes, thank you.
13:49
Speaker 5: You're moving into the whole little family of these things now.
13:54
Speaker 7: And we've got some, uh, great artists here too. Brett
13:57
Speaker 7: Gray from up in Lexington. He's, uh, does a lot
13:59
Speaker 7: of like HR Geiger sort of stuff. Uh, there's a
14:01
Speaker 7: lot of good black and white drawings. Uh, we've got
14:02
Speaker 7: some authors, uh, and, uh, we got a guy over
14:05
Speaker 7: there with the bukus of Buckaroo Banzai, uh, props and such.
14:10
Speaker 7: We were wondering if Peter Weller was going to freak
14:11
Speaker 7: out when he saw the aliens and start shooting at
14:13
Speaker 7: them or something.
14:14
Speaker 5: He still might.
14:14
Speaker 8: I think he carries a laser. We will find out
14:17
Speaker 8: soon enough.
14:18
Speaker 5: I would hope he carries a laser.
14:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.
14:20
Speaker 7: But yeah, there's just, it's kind of nice just to
14:21
Speaker 7: get the whole, uh, nerd perspective with the vendors and, uh,
14:25
Speaker 7: That was part of my job, and telling them where
14:29
Speaker 7: to set.
14:31
Speaker 8: I'm kind of proud of how this is all turning out, too.
14:33
Speaker 7: But yeah, there's a surprising amount of movie production places
14:37
Speaker 7: around these parts, and Madisonville of all places, too.
14:40
Speaker 6: You find weird little pockets that kind of... And they
14:44
Speaker 6: create their own little weird communities.
14:46
Speaker 5: We've seen that with ours back home too.
14:48
Speaker 8: The big biting pig people.
14:49
Speaker 7: Didn't the Texas Chainsaw Massacre guy, wasn't him their latest one?
14:52
Speaker 8: Yes, Bill Johnson from Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2.
14:56
Speaker 5: Nice.
14:56
Speaker 9: Yeah, so it's getting out.
14:59
Speaker 8: See, I don't know. I'm not a horror guy.
15:01
Speaker 7: Like gore and stuff, this is really not my bag.
15:04
Speaker 9: House MD makes me squeamish.
15:06
Speaker 8: How about House the Second Story? I haven't seen that one.
15:10
Speaker 9: Is that like a sequel to the house TV show
15:12
Speaker 9: or something?
15:13
Speaker 8: No, it is.
15:13
Speaker 1: Well, yes.
15:14
Speaker 8: We'll just say it is for you. So I don't
15:15
Speaker 8: have to go into too much explanation. I mean, I
15:18
Speaker 8: have to turn my head. It was before Hugh Laurie's time. Right.
15:20
Speaker 7: Mom just holds the poster board above the TV during
15:23
Speaker 7: those parts for me now.
15:24
Speaker 5: How about Hasu? Are you familiar with that?
15:27
Speaker 8: I don't know that one.
15:28
Speaker 5: That's the Japanese house. I recommend that one. Possibly the
15:32
Speaker 5: greatest filmmaking.
15:34
Speaker 8: Was that a remake?
15:35
Speaker 5: No, no, no. It uses every.
15:38
Speaker 6: Style of filmmaking ever in one movie.
15:42
Speaker 5: It's amazing. It really is. That's my recommendation.
15:47
Speaker 7: I do like the Asian horror where you don't have
15:49
Speaker 7: to actually see people getting dismembered or something.
15:54
Speaker 5: Well, we don't do those anymore. I'm sorry.
15:56
Speaker 11: No.
15:57
Speaker 8: I prefer seeing people getting dismembered. And you're not even
15:59
Speaker 8: talking about movies.
16:00
Speaker 7: No.
16:01
Speaker 8: We all have to have hobbies. That's right. I'm a
16:05
Speaker 8: gore hound myself, so I like story, too, on occasion.
16:09
Speaker 5: If you mix the two together.
16:11
Speaker 8: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm just a wuss.
16:15
Speaker 8: You are a wimp. You're like, oh, The Grudge is
16:18
Speaker 8: a good horror movie. It's so scary. I don't know.
16:23
Speaker 8: That noise, you know. The noise is a little disturbing.
16:28
Speaker 8: That guttural kind of.
16:32
Speaker 2: I can't do it.
16:33
Speaker 9: I usually get.
16:37
Speaker 8: We don't want to have to clean up his urine
16:38
Speaker 8: off the floor. Right, right. You already had to do that.
16:40
Speaker 2: There's someone that comes around and does that.
16:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, the guy with the vacuum cleaner.
16:43
Speaker 8: I don't know if my insurance plan will cover that.
16:46
Speaker 7: We were wondering about the guy with the vacuum cleaner earlier.
16:47
Speaker 8: Is he just kind of pacing the floor? he's a
16:49
Speaker 8: low rent ghostbuster i don't think that's what we thought
16:51
Speaker 8: he came in the room i was like uh another
16:53
Speaker 8: ghostbuster at a convention but no he has a vacuum
16:55
Speaker 8: this is passing you know we weren't able to get
16:57
Speaker 8: uh bill murray so we went.
16:59
Speaker 6: With uh the low rent ghostbuster he would come here
17:01
Speaker 6: but only as a ghost that's.
17:02
Speaker 8: True you know busting makes it feel good no bill
17:06
Speaker 8: murray oh so rest in peace yeah yeah i was
17:10
Speaker 8: pretty bummed out about that but uh I should have
17:13
Speaker 8: dedicated something to them at the film festival. Actually, there
17:15
Speaker 8: is a local branch of the Ghostbusters here in the area,
17:19
Speaker 8: like the Western Kentucky Ghostbusters.
17:20
Speaker 5: It's spread like a disease, the Ghostbusters.
17:23
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it was funny. I contacted them. They said, oh,
17:27
Speaker 8: we would love to do that. And I said, okay, great.
17:30
Speaker 8: Can I get some contact information? And then crickets came.
17:34
Speaker 8: So they would love to not do it, I guess.
17:36
Speaker 6: So were they not here? Because there was a car
17:38
Speaker 6: outside that had the Ghostbuster.
17:41
Speaker 5: Was there? There was one when we pulled in.
17:43
Speaker 6: Because I assumed I would see Ghostbusters.
17:46
Speaker 8: Was it Low Rent? The Low Rent Ghostbuster?
17:48
Speaker 5: Kind of.
17:48
Speaker 2: I think it was like a PT Cruiser.
17:51
Speaker 5: I think it was.
17:52
Speaker 8: It said Ectum 1 on the... It's a Ford Windstar.
17:56
Speaker 11: Yes.
17:57
Speaker 6: It's not the actual slime. It's like the juice box
18:01
Speaker 6: version of the slime. It's like the Ecto Cooler. That's
18:04
Speaker 6: all they could get. I miss those.
18:06
Speaker 5: I think every geek does.
18:08
Speaker 8: I don't think they knew what they had until it
18:10
Speaker 8: was gone. And the Ghostbusters cereal, if anybody remembers that.
18:13
Speaker 5: Definitely.
18:15
Speaker 8: It was a limited run, I believe.
18:18
Speaker 5: Almost as good as the C-3PO's. Because that was pretty epic, too.
18:22
Speaker 9: I think I remember C-3PO's, but I didn't realize Ghostbusters
18:24
Speaker 9: had a cereal.
18:25
Speaker 8: I was probably too scared of it.
18:27
Speaker 7: I seriously have a very vivid memory from my childhood.
18:32
Speaker 7: We were in Owensboro. This is when I lived in Greenville.
18:35
Speaker 7: My family, we were traveling back. The tire blew, and
18:39
Speaker 7: somebody came to change the tire or whatever, but we went.
18:41
Speaker 7: Maybe it was a more serious problem than a tire blowing.
18:45
Speaker 9: I don't know. But the point of the story is
18:47
Speaker 9: the fact we had to go to a relative's house.
18:48
Speaker 8: They came and picked us up.
18:49
Speaker 7: Ghostbusters was on the television, and I was hiding behind
18:51
Speaker 7: my mom, peeking around. I think it was within the
18:55
Speaker 7: past five years that I saw Ghostbusters for the first time.
18:57
Speaker 8: Are you on anxiety medication or anything like that? I
19:00
Speaker 8: have some, but I haven't been taking it. I mean,
19:01
Speaker 8: I'm on a low dose of Prozac, but that's a
19:05
Speaker 8: whole other story.
19:06
Speaker 5: It makes you happy. It involves those dead bodies.
19:09
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I like to see people get dismembered.
19:12
Speaker 8: I'm a little better than I used to be.
19:14
Speaker 6: The really weird part is you were really mostly scared
19:16
Speaker 6: of Dan Aykroyd.
19:17
Speaker 7: Yeah.
19:18
Speaker 5: Which I can't blame you.
19:20
Speaker 8: Canadian accent. Which film are we talking about? Is it
19:23
Speaker 8: still Ghostbusters?
19:23
Speaker 9: It's more or less the Crystal Skull podcast.
19:25
Speaker 8: I thought maybe you were talking about Loser. Canadians. Well,
19:30
Speaker 8: people are leaving. So apparently it's a jinx.
19:33
Speaker 5: You've chased them off.
19:35
Speaker 8: Oh, really? Maybe they're going to the screenings.
19:37
Speaker 5: There you go.
19:38
Speaker 6: You know what?
19:38
Speaker 8: That's exactly what is happening with us. Thank you for
19:40
Speaker 8: correcting me.
19:41
Speaker 5: People are running to see the screenings. All right, well.
19:45
Speaker 6: Unless we want to get back into something important like
19:46
Speaker 6: Twilight Talk.
19:47
Speaker 1: I mean, you know.
19:48
Speaker 5: That's true.
19:49
Speaker 6: I guess we can wrap up for this part, and
19:51
Speaker 6: we'll wander back later and see what's going on.
19:53
Speaker 8: I appreciate you having me on. Not so much Wes,
19:55
Speaker 8: but definitely me.
19:56
Speaker 6: Well, tell people where to find it if they want
19:59
Speaker 6: to go look for it in the future.
20:01
Speaker 8: If you're able to make it today, it's the Owensboro
20:03
Speaker 8: Convention Center in Owensboro, Kentucky.
20:05
Speaker 5: I think it's a little late. Right.
20:07
Speaker 8: It's not live. Oh, it's not live? I didn't realize that. Well,
20:11
Speaker 8: you're obviously not going to be.
20:12
Speaker 5: Able to make it. For a future reference.
20:13
Speaker 8: For a future reference, you can go to rivercityfestivaloffilms.com. And
20:19
Speaker 8: we're definitely going to be doing it again next year
20:22
Speaker 8: because it went so well this year. That's cool. So, yeah,
20:25
Speaker 8: keep checking that out. We'll be updating regularly. Maybe not immediately,
20:30
Speaker 8: but as... As it comes around. And, yeah, so definitely
20:35
Speaker 8: check us out. And, you know, I'll be excited to
20:39
Speaker 8: have an even bigger turnout next year than what we
20:42
Speaker 8: had this year, which was still extremely impressive.
20:45
Speaker 5: Build on it.
20:46
Speaker 8: Just build on it.
20:48
Speaker 7: I'll plug the library because we are doing a lot
20:50
Speaker 7: of film stuff. If you're in the Owensboro area, PJ
20:52
Speaker 7: is unscripted, as he's mentioned. And this summer we're going
20:55
Speaker 7: to do kind of obscure cult film series thing. We're
20:57
Speaker 7: still working out the details of that. You can check
20:59
Speaker 7: out dcplibrary.org. And you can also follow me on Twitter
21:04
Speaker 7: because I want to talk about myself.
21:06
Speaker 8: Excuse me. Twitter.com slash WesTheHero. PJ, are you on Twitter?
21:10
Speaker 8: I am not. But Wes also has scaredofghostbusters.edu if you
21:14
Speaker 8: want to check that out. It's just a picture of
21:16
Speaker 8: my wet bed sheets.
21:18
Speaker 5: I don't think you're going to get any hits on that, really. Well, wait, no,
21:21
Speaker 5: it is the Internet.
21:22
Speaker 8: He's trying to sell them on eBay now, and somebody's
21:24
Speaker 8: got a fetish.
21:25
Speaker 5: Somebody will be hitting that now. Sorry about that.
21:28
Speaker 8: Yeah, if you want to hit that, you know, just
21:29
Speaker 8: call me. It's all downhill from here once you start
21:31
Speaker 8: talking about wet bed sheets.
21:33
Speaker 3: Right.
21:33
Speaker 6: Well, I think you just pitched something else when you said,
21:35
Speaker 6: if you want to hit that, you know, get a
21:37
Speaker 6: hold of me.
21:37
Speaker 9: I was hoping no one would notice except the ladies.
21:40
Speaker 8: You're standing really close to me, so I was the
21:42
Speaker 8: first one to notice. I was just picturing you in
21:44
Speaker 8: a blonde wig.
21:44
Speaker 11: Sorry.
21:47
Speaker 5: You guys can make that off the mic.
21:49
Speaker 11: That's okay.
21:49
Speaker 5: Whatever plans you need to make.
21:51
Speaker 10: Sitting at this table has me like eye to butt level.
21:54
Speaker 10: I've looked at every single buddy's butt today. Just throwing
21:58
Speaker 10: that out there.
21:58
Speaker 5: Speaking of fetishes.
21:59
Speaker 2: Looked at everybody's butt. That's what I've done all day.
22:01
Speaker 10: I've just analyzed everyone's butt.
22:02
Speaker 7: I want you to walk by and drop my keys
22:05
Speaker 7: and bend over real slow to get them.
22:09
Speaker 2: I should develop a rating system.
22:11
Speaker 9: Just throw stuff out on the floor and let people
22:13
Speaker 9: pick it up.
22:14
Speaker 8: Oh, could you get that for me?
22:15
Speaker 2: And I'll be like seven.
22:16
Speaker 8: I have two holes in the back of my pants
22:18
Speaker 8: today because I'm very professional. But it's concealing. Don't be
22:21
Speaker 8: too scared. My Ghostbuster wallet.
22:24
Speaker 9: Ghostbuster wallet.
22:25
Speaker 2: He just peed a little bit.
22:27
Speaker 8: A little bit. Just adds to what was already there.
22:30
Speaker 5: Get that guy with the vacuum. Hopefully it's a shop vac.
22:33
Speaker 8: Excuse me, low-ranked Ghostbusters?
22:35
Speaker 9: Can you just put that down my pants?
22:39
Speaker 5: Again, we moved into a different area, but there's a
22:41
Speaker 5: market for that as well.
22:45
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
22:45
Speaker 8: Wait, is this an M-rated podcast?
22:48
Speaker 5: We are extra R-rated.
22:51
Speaker 8: Okay, cool.
22:52
Speaker 5: We use all kinds of horrible language.
22:53
Speaker 2: I think it says explicit on the site.
22:55
Speaker 8: Oh, it always says explicit.
22:56
Speaker 5: I was a listener.
22:57
Speaker 7: I was instrumental in bringing you guys in, so I'm
23:00
Speaker 7: definitely a fan of M-squared.
23:02
Speaker 5: That's all I can call it.
23:05
Speaker 6: If you can get a logo going for that and
23:07
Speaker 6: get us some sponsors.
23:08
Speaker 7: Hey, I'll fire up Microsoft Paint when I get back home.
23:11
Speaker 1: Awesome.
23:11
Speaker 8: We'll see what we can do.
23:12
Speaker 5: And then find us some sponsors, and we're all set.
23:14
Speaker 8: Maybe Microsoft Paint is going to do this, but I
23:18
Speaker 8: am going to have to go try to figure out
23:19
Speaker 8: what's going on.
23:20
Speaker 5: But I appreciate you having me on.
23:22
Speaker 8: And I'm sure we're friends on Facebook now, so it's official.
23:28
Speaker 5: That's really, it doesn't matter unless we're friends on Facebook.
23:31
Speaker 1: I know.
23:32
Speaker 8: Unless you're friends on Facebook, friendships don't really matter. That's true.
23:35
Speaker 6: And then sometimes they hold your friendship hostage. I love
23:38
Speaker 6: everybody when they put out the post of, yeah, I'm
23:39
Speaker 6: going to be deleting a lot of people, so if
23:41
Speaker 6: you're seeing this, good for you.
23:42
Speaker 5: Yeah.
23:43
Speaker 6: Or get a hold of me if you think we're
23:45
Speaker 6: actually friends and I'll keep you.
23:46
Speaker 8: And I'm like, wow, this is what friendship has become?
23:50
Speaker 8: You know, it's funny because you see the post from
23:51
Speaker 8: those people. It's like you haven't seen them since high school.
23:55
Speaker 8: You haven't spoken to them. They friend request you.
23:57
Speaker 5: Yeah.
23:58
Speaker 8: And then you talk just about as much now on
23:59
Speaker 8: Facebook as you have in the last, you know, 10
24:02
Speaker 8: years or whatever, depending on how old you are. And
24:07
Speaker 8: then suddenly they're like, yeah, I'm going to probably get
24:09
Speaker 8: rid of a lot of people I haven't talked to
24:10
Speaker 8: in a while. And I'm like, why did you.
24:11
Speaker 5: Friend request me? Yeah, why friend request? I didn't want
24:14
Speaker 5: to talk to you anyway.
24:15
Speaker 7: Yeah.
24:15
Speaker 9: If you're seeing this post, your check cleared. So don't worry.
24:19
Speaker 8: I'm like, before you defriend me, go like this page
24:22
Speaker 8: I have.
24:24
Speaker 5: Ah, the workings of Facebook right there.
24:26
Speaker 9: John Maynard's beard's looking really nice.
24:28
Speaker 8: I know.
24:29
Speaker 7: He's manned up. Have you guys seen Nearly Dead? It
24:32
Speaker 7: was shot in Louisville. It's a zombie movie set in
24:34
Speaker 7: a rest home. It's pretty hilarious.
24:35
Speaker 8: Has it screened yet today? I think it has. Let's
24:39
Speaker 8: find out. 110, yes. What's the guy's name? Project Death
24:45
Speaker 8: Pack just showed. After School Special is next.
24:48
Speaker 7: Is it Sonny Burnett, the older guy from Louisville that's
24:50
Speaker 7: in every movie that's shot in Louisville?
24:52
Speaker 8: Probably. He was in Pilgrim's Song. He was the principal.
24:55
Speaker 9: He's a principal character in that, so you get to
24:57
Speaker 9: see a bunch of older folks battling zombies.
24:58
Speaker 11: Is it?
24:59
Speaker 7: If you get a chance to watch it, you should
25:00
Speaker 7: definitely check it out.
25:01
Speaker 8: He's probably selling copies of it.
25:02
Speaker 5: I don't know.
25:03
Speaker 8: But, yeah. Good stuff.
25:06
Speaker 1: All right.
25:07
Speaker 5: I guess we will go wander around.
25:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
25:10
Speaker 5: Bother other people at the tables.
25:12
Speaker 8: Yeah, you should check out some of the art.
25:14
Speaker 5: Like, Brett's so cool.
25:27
Speaker 3: You'll like our pizza pies made from a famous Italian recipe.
25:32
Speaker 3: They're waiting for you right now at the concession stand.
25:35
Speaker 3: Enjoy tempting food at its best. Gage Dobson is the
25:40
Speaker 3: new kid in the neighborhood. His mom's in love with
25:44
Speaker 3: a jerk.
25:45
Speaker 6: I'm going to be your new father whether you like
25:47
Speaker 6: it or not.
25:47
Speaker 3: He's not doing so well at his new school.
25:50
Speaker 10: Unless your grades improve enough, I may have to fail you.
25:53
Speaker 3: And his overactive imagination is getting him nothing but trouble.
26:01
Speaker 1: Suspension.
26:03
Speaker 3: Life's not looking so great for Gage.
26:05
Speaker 6: I wish I was dead.
26:06
Speaker 3: To be or not to be?
26:08
Speaker 1: Arriba! Until.
26:09
Speaker 9: Who said that?
26:10
Speaker 1: Me, I did, pal. I'm your new friend.
26:12
Speaker 5: I help.
26:13
Speaker 8: I dazzle.
26:14
Speaker 1: I make better.
26:15
Speaker 3: Roger Corman and New Horizons Home Video bring you the
26:19
Speaker 3: family fantasy adventure, Munchies. The all-star sequel to the video blockbuster, Munchies. Now,
26:26
Speaker 3: Munchies come to school to help Gage with a few
26:29
Speaker 3: class projects. Like getting back at.
26:32
Speaker 8: Their school bully.
26:33
Speaker 3: Geronimo. Helping Gage improve his grades.
26:41
Speaker 1: I think we can do better than that. Thank you,
26:45
Speaker 1: bunny cakes. And making a fool out of the principal.
26:53
Speaker 8: I'm hot.
26:55
Speaker 3: One large pepperoni pizza coming up. But when Munchie tries
26:59
Speaker 3: to get rid of Gage's evil stepfather, things start to
27:02
Speaker 3: get a little out of hand.
27:05
Speaker 11: I have something I'd like to say to you.
27:07
Speaker 6: No!
27:09
Speaker 3: This is a lesson in spontaneous combustion.
27:14
Speaker 5: He's been out to sabotage this entire evening.
27:16
Speaker 11: That's ridiculous.
27:18
Speaker 1: You should never ask for anything unless you really want it.
27:21
Speaker 7: No!
27:26
Speaker 3: So join Munchy and his friends as they soar away
27:29
Speaker 3: on a magical fantasy adventure starring Lonnie Anderson.
27:33
Speaker 5: You give whatever it is back to Gage.
27:35
Speaker 3: Andrew Stevens.
27:37
Speaker 8: I'm gonna rest it.
27:38
Speaker 3: Artie Johnson. Could you introduce him to me? Jamie McKinnon.
27:44
Speaker 2: Okay, you got me.
27:46
Speaker 8: Where are the cameras?
27:47
Speaker 3: And Dom DeLuise as the voice of Munchy.
27:50
Speaker 8: Hey, sometimes you gotta help people in spite of themselves. Magical.
27:55
Speaker 5: Hey kids, it's Brian.
28:01
Speaker 6: So you're listening to this episode, and it sounds pretty good, right?
28:06
Speaker 6: That's because we're using our new mics from the Doo-Wop Shop.
28:09
Speaker 5: We are using the.
28:10
Speaker 6: VLH-SM2000s that are made specifically for the Doo-Wop Shop.
28:15
Speaker 5: And if you want one, you can go get one yourself.
28:17
Speaker 6: They are actually only $ 65 if you want to buy one,
28:21
Speaker 6: or they rent everything in the Doo-Wop shop, so you
28:23
Speaker 6: can go there and get it for as little as
28:25
Speaker 6: $ 5 a month. So you too can be out there
28:27
Speaker 6: using your microphones to record a show, or interview people, or,
28:30
Speaker 6: I don't know, most people probably have, like, bands and,
28:33
Speaker 6: you know, rent instruments and stuff, which.
28:35
Speaker 11: They also do.
28:35
Speaker 6: They have a huge selection of instruments, so... Anything you
28:39
Speaker 6: need for any type of event, whether it's a music
28:42
Speaker 6: show or a business meeting or whatever kind of occasion
28:44
Speaker 6: you've got, they've pretty much got everything covered. So if
28:47
Speaker 6: they are located in Louisville, you can go to the
28:50
Speaker 6: Highland Store at 1587 Bartstown Road or in the East
28:54
Speaker 6: End at 2915 South Hurstburn Parkway. Even if you're not
28:57
Speaker 6: in the area, they have the website like most businesses,
29:00
Speaker 6: but you go to doo-wop.com. And specifically, they have a
29:04
Speaker 6: huge selection of karaoke discs. So you can actually go
29:07
Speaker 6: to the website. They have thousands of titles to choose from,
29:10
Speaker 6: and they're only like $ 4. 99 a month. So whatever you
29:13
Speaker 6: need karaoke-wise, they can hook you up through the internet,
29:16
Speaker 6: and you don't even have to be in the area.
29:18
Speaker 5: So again, that is doo-wop.com. Go there.
29:21
Speaker 6: They'll have whatever you need. They certainly did with us
29:23
Speaker 6: for the mic. So yeah, go to doo-wop.com and check
29:26
Speaker 6: it out.
29:29
Speaker 10: Thank you.
29:30
Speaker 8: So what are we talking about now.
30:01
Speaker 10: Can I pretend like I'm at the Oscars and I
30:03
Speaker 10: analyze people's fashion?
30:05
Speaker 5: Do you have a title for your runway critique?
30:10
Speaker 7: Nope.
30:11
Speaker 5: Marlena's runway critique? Yep. All right. Go to town.
30:16
Speaker 2: Those look like very comfortable shoes that that woman is wearing.
30:19
Speaker 5: Orthopedic, perhaps?
30:20
Speaker 8: Yes.
30:22
Speaker 2: Hey, I wear orthopedic shoes. Don't knock it.
30:25
Speaker 8: They're very cute, too.
30:26
Speaker 5: And you're proud of them.
30:27
Speaker 2: They're very cute. Look at these.
30:27
Speaker 5: And you have 47 pair of orthopedic shoes.
30:30
Speaker 2: No, I only have four. She has a shoe problem.
30:34
Speaker 2: I get lots of compliments on my orthopedic shoes specifically.
30:37
Speaker 5: From old ladies.
30:38
Speaker 10: No.
30:40
Speaker 8: Well, yes.
30:41
Speaker 2: But also young people.
30:42
Speaker 5: Every grandma you run into.
30:43
Speaker 10: I like the back of that lady's shirt. It's like
30:45
Speaker 10: a little bow thing. She's got a little bow thing
30:47
Speaker 10: going on. It's really cute. Actually, I think she has
30:50
Speaker 10: her shirt on backwards, though. I'm just going to throw
30:52
Speaker 10: that out there. Pretty sure her shirt's on backwards.
30:56
Speaker 6: Since we've mentioned the fact that you have such a
30:57
Speaker 6: fan base, and the one thing they love the most
31:00
Speaker 6: is a Marlena moment, you were kind of telling me earlier,
31:04
Speaker 6: could you share with them, since we saw the guy
31:06
Speaker 6: with the vacuum cleaner story?
31:09
Speaker 2: My ghost story?
31:10
Speaker 8: No, the vacuum cleaner story. Oh, okay.
31:12
Speaker 5: And now it's time for a Marlena moment.
31:15
Speaker 10: Okay, so a couple of years ago, my friend Amanda
31:19
Speaker 10: was driving down the street with one of her friends,
31:22
Speaker 10: This didn't happen to me.
31:23
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
31:25
Speaker 5: It's only a story that I would hear from you.
31:28
Speaker 5: That's a Marlena moment.
31:28
Speaker 2: Okay.
31:30
Speaker 10: So she's driving down the street with her friend, and
31:33
Speaker 10: they see, like, this brand-new carpet shampoo on the side
31:36
Speaker 10: of the road.
31:37
Speaker 2: And they're like, oh, cool. Well, even if there's something
31:40
Speaker 2: wrong with it, maybe we know someone that can fix it.
31:42
Speaker 10: So let's take it. So they put it in the van,
31:44
Speaker 10: and they get it home and realize it's filled with blood.
31:48
Speaker 10: And then they found out that it's because a teenager
31:52
Speaker 10: had shot himself, and his parents bought the carpet shampooer to, like,
31:56
Speaker 10: clean up all of his blood, and then just put
31:58
Speaker 10: it on the curb because they're like, we don't want this.
32:00
Speaker 5: That's not really a keepsake you want.
32:02
Speaker 10: Yeah, like a memento of your dead child.
32:05
Speaker 2: No, no one really wants that.
32:06
Speaker 5: Put that carpet cleaner on the mantle.
32:08
Speaker 8: Yeah.
32:09
Speaker 5: Next to his urn.
32:10
Speaker 8: Yeah.
32:11
Speaker 5: That's not cool at all.
32:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
32:13
Speaker 2: That's a.
32:14
Speaker 10: That's a mild Marlena moment. That's a side Marlena moment.
32:18
Speaker 10: I once told a friend about that, and he almost
32:20
Speaker 10: drew a picture of that and made it his album cover.
32:22
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't really think people would get it.
32:25
Speaker 5: No, it would be quite a story involved.
32:28
Speaker 2: Hey, I think it would make a good horror movie, though, somehow.
32:31
Speaker 2: I don't know how, but it would.
32:33
Speaker 5: Do you need to go into your ghost story now?
32:35
Speaker 10: I'm really tired of telling my ghost story. But I
32:39
Speaker 10: think I have Poltergeist.
32:41
Speaker 2: Or a poltergeist. Oh, hot damn hobo. I think it's
32:45
Speaker 2: connected to hot damn hobo.
32:47
Speaker 6: Oh, you guys have to go old school to get
32:48
Speaker 6: to that. I mean, hot damn hobo was like two
32:50
Speaker 6: years ago.
32:50
Speaker 5: No, it's new.
32:51
Speaker 2: It's new.
32:51
Speaker 5: It's still happening.
32:51
Speaker 6: What I'm saying, like to get the base story for
32:53
Speaker 6: the hot damn hobo, you got to go back to
32:54
Speaker 6: like Christmas two years ago.
32:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.
32:56
Speaker 11: Okay.
32:57
Speaker 2: I'll do that.
32:57
Speaker 10: So a few years ago at my old house, I
33:00
Speaker 10: would wake up in the morning and find hot damn
33:02
Speaker 10: bottles in the alley that weren't there the night before,
33:05
Speaker 10: like lots of hot damn bottles. And if you know
33:06
Speaker 10: what hot damn is, it's a cinnamon liquor that That
33:09
Speaker 10: if you drink a.
33:09
Speaker 2: Lot of, you should probably die.
33:11
Speaker 8: And may.
33:13
Speaker 2: Yeah.
33:14
Speaker 10: And so that happened for years while I lived there.
33:17
Speaker 10: And like a year and a half ago, I moved
33:20
Speaker 10: into a new house. And just like within the last
33:24
Speaker 10: month or two, I started finding hot damn bottles in
33:28
Speaker 10: the alley again. And like I live probably about a
33:32
Speaker 10: mile away from my last house, so it's kind of weird.
33:34
Speaker 7: But.
33:35
Speaker 2: It is weird.
33:36
Speaker 10: One morning I woke up, and in the alley, there
33:39
Speaker 10: are seven empty hot damn bottles that weren't there the
33:42
Speaker 10: night before.
33:42
Speaker 6: Seven.
33:43
Speaker 10: Who could drink seven bottles of hot damn? And people
33:45
Speaker 10: are like, well, maybe it's a group of teenagers, or
33:47
Speaker 10: maybe it's more than one person. I'm like, I don't
33:49
Speaker 10: think it is. I don't think that it is.
33:51
Speaker 6: If you had enough money to buy seven bottles of
33:53
Speaker 6: hot damn, wouldn't you just put it all together and
33:55
Speaker 6: buy one good booze?
33:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
33:58
Speaker 8: I don't know.
33:59
Speaker 5: I don't know how the pricing goes on hot damn.
34:00
Speaker 10: I think hot damn is just their jam. They're like, oh,
34:03
Speaker 10: hot damn, this is my jam.
34:04
Speaker 2: And they mean it. They mean it.
34:06
Speaker 6: That's our new Marlena-themed T-shirt that's coming up.
34:10
Speaker 5: Please send funding so we can make a Marlena T-shirt.
34:12
Speaker 2: I've seen that.
34:12
Speaker 10: Every time I walk my dog, my dog poops, like,
34:14
Speaker 10: right by where the bottles are. And I'm like, oh,
34:17
Speaker 10: hot damn, this is my jam. Because it's just so relevant.
34:21
Speaker 10: I mean, it's relevant. But, okay, but it's by my
34:24
Speaker 10: neighbor's shed. And hot damn hobo, whoever he is, maybe
34:27
Speaker 10: he's a person, maybe he's a ghost or a monster.
34:29
Speaker 5: He or she.
34:30
Speaker 2: He or she.
34:31
Speaker 5: Or a bit paranormal activity that he is.
34:32
Speaker 2: I don't know.
34:33
Speaker 10: I don't know what hot damn hobo is. I kind
34:35
Speaker 10: of want to know, but then again, I don't want
34:36
Speaker 10: to find out and ruin the fun. Because, like, what
34:38
Speaker 10: if it's just, like, this totally normal person? That would
34:40
Speaker 10: be lame.
34:41
Speaker 2: If he's going to be a hobo, he better have, like,
34:43
Speaker 2: one arm.
34:45
Speaker 5: And a bindle.
34:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. A bindle at least.
34:47
Speaker 5: It's really hard to tie a bindle with one arm.
34:50
Speaker 2: He uses his feet.
34:51
Speaker 8: He probably does.
34:52
Speaker 2: He's extra interesting.
34:55
Speaker 10: Yeah, so there's, like, the back of my neighbor's shed. It's, like,
34:59
Speaker 10: made of paneling. And it's been pulled apart and I
35:01
Speaker 10: guess he gets in there when it's really cold and
35:03
Speaker 10: he sleeps. Yeah, so now there's like 22 hot damn
35:06
Speaker 10: bottles in the alley. And a bunch of dog poop
35:10
Speaker 10: because like I said, it's where my dog poops.
35:11
Speaker 6: Okay, if we put these stories together, maybe your dog
35:14
Speaker 6: is the hot damn hobo.
35:16
Speaker 5: Have you ever seen her.
35:17
Speaker 2: Sneak out there?
35:18
Speaker 10: I don't think my dog breaks out to the liquor
35:22
Speaker 10: store and buys hot damn and.
35:23
Speaker 2: Then drinks it in the alley.
35:24
Speaker 1: She might.
35:25
Speaker 5: She's a peculiar dog.
35:25
Speaker 10: But you know, here's the thing because I'm like, This
35:28
Speaker 10: is a perfect place for Hot Damn Hobo to live
35:29
Speaker 10: because he could just poop there and no one would
35:31
Speaker 10: know that it's hot dog poop.
35:32
Speaker 5: They'd blame it all on your dog.
35:33
Speaker 8: Yeah.
35:34
Speaker 10: I think that's what happens because sometimes there's poop piles
35:36
Speaker 10: that my dog didn't put there.
35:38
Speaker 2: So I think he poops there too. As long as
35:40
Speaker 2: you're cool with that.
35:43
Speaker 10: But yeah, then weird stuff started happening in my house
35:45
Speaker 10: and I thought I had like a cat burglar or
35:46
Speaker 10: something like that.
35:48
Speaker 2: But I don't.
35:49
Speaker 10: Because I mean I checked my house and I was
35:50
Speaker 10: there and then my lights just started going off. Like
35:53
Speaker 10: the switches started going off by themselves. So I think
35:56
Speaker 10: maybe I'm insane. Maybe. Here's the theories I've come up with.
36:01
Speaker 10: Hot damn hobo is real and he's very sneaky. He's, like,
36:04
Speaker 10: a very sneaky human who's, like, okay, like, I love
36:08
Speaker 10: Roger Miller, but that song, Trailers for Sailor Rent, really
36:11
Speaker 10: freaks me out because he talks about, like, every lock
36:14
Speaker 10: that isn't locked when no one's around. And I just
36:16
Speaker 10: think of, like, some hobo tramp, like, sneaky breaking into
36:20
Speaker 10: people's houses and just, like, eating their chip, like, one
36:23
Speaker 10: chip out of the bag and, like, peeing in their toilet.
36:25
Speaker 2: Like, I think about that. I think of.
36:27
Speaker 10: think about Roger Miller every time I come home and
36:30
Speaker 10: something's amiss. So that's one theory. The weird things in
36:37
Speaker 10: my house are in some way connected to Hot Damn
36:39
Speaker 10: Hobo because he's a human who's very sneaky and very
36:42
Speaker 10: good at picking locks. He breaks into my house and
36:44
Speaker 10: moves things around. Theory two, poltergeist, which is like not
36:50
Speaker 10: really ghosts but like psychic activity or something like that.
36:54
Speaker 2: You do have a TV.
36:55
Speaker 10: Theory three, I have a couple of TVs. Theory three
36:58
Speaker 10: is that it's a ghost. And I feel like I
37:03
Speaker 10: had a fourth theory, but I forgot. Oh, fourth theory
37:07
Speaker 10: is that I'm experiencing some weird Tyler Durden thing, and
37:12
Speaker 10: I'm the hot damn hobo, and this stuff isn't really happening.
37:15
Speaker 10: I'm just losing my marbles and imagining that this stuff
37:18
Speaker 10: is happening.
37:18
Speaker 5: Spoiler alert for your life.
37:19
Speaker 8: Yeah.
37:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
37:20
Speaker 5: You don't want to ruin it when you're chasing yourself down.
37:22
Speaker 10: Well, no, Jessica was there and experienced some weird things,
37:24
Speaker 10: so she has confirmed that they're real because I was, like,
37:27
Speaker 10: really starting to worry.
37:29
Speaker 5: At any point, do you fight with meatloaf in a
37:31
Speaker 5: parking lot?
37:32
Speaker 1: No.
37:33
Speaker 5: Can we arrange that somehow?
37:34
Speaker 8: I would love to.
37:35
Speaker 5: People would pay good money.
37:36
Speaker 2: Hey, there used to be this guy at Golden Corral
37:38
Speaker 2: that looked just like meatloaf. Does that count?
37:40
Speaker 5: We did see a meatloaf tribute act once. Yeah. Misty
37:44
Speaker 5: and I went and saw him.
37:45
Speaker 8: He was pretty impressive, by the way.
37:46
Speaker 2: You went to see him?
37:47
Speaker 5: Oh, on purpose. On purpose. His brother is an Elvis impersonator.
37:52
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
37:52
Speaker 5: And he's a meatloaf impersonator.
37:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
37:54
Speaker 5: What a family they have.
37:56
Speaker 10: That makes sense. But, yeah, so I don't know. I
37:59
Speaker 10: don't really know what's going on. Like if it's a poltergeist, hobo.
38:03
Speaker 5: Mental disorder.
38:04
Speaker 10: Mental disorder or ghost. But it's one of those things. Yep,
38:10
Speaker 10: that's what's been happening in my life.
38:12
Speaker 5: That's what's happened.
38:15
Speaker 10: I have a friend now who only, like, the only
38:18
Speaker 10: text messages he ever sends me anymore, it's like a
38:20
Speaker 10: long boo.
38:22
Speaker 2: Boo!
38:23
Speaker 10: That's just what he sends me in text messages. And
38:25
Speaker 10: if I'm like, if I mention anything, he's like, well,
38:28
Speaker 10: maybe the ghost can cook you dinner or something like that.
38:32
Speaker 10: And I'm like, I didn't think it was a ghost, Brian.
38:34
Speaker 10: I thought it was poltergeist, and that's different.
38:38
Speaker 3: Ugh.
38:39
Speaker 5: Well, maybe ghosts have just learned how to text now.
38:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe.
38:44
Speaker 8: Or poltergeists are living in electronic units.
38:46
Speaker 2: And also, here's a new theory. Maybe I'm a ghost.
38:50
Speaker 5: You are spoiling this thing all over. I don't know.
38:53
Speaker 2: But I'm not. I mean, this is.
38:55
Speaker 8: Marlena was a ghost all along.
38:57
Speaker 10: I'm making a joke, and this is funny, but, like,
38:59
Speaker 10: Seriously weird things have been happening at my house. This
39:03
Speaker 10: might be the last time we ever hear from you.
39:07
Speaker 5: Yeah.
39:07
Speaker 2: I might die under mysterious circumstances or something.
39:10
Speaker 8: You'll get sucked into the TV.
39:12
Speaker 2: I've seen it. I only watch TV on my computer.
39:13
Speaker 8: Your house is not cleansed.
39:15
Speaker 10: I only watch TV on my computer anymore. And I
39:18
Speaker 10: really only watch Parks and Recreation lately. Other than I
39:21
Speaker 10: watched Munchie last night. But if it's going to suck
39:24
Speaker 10: me into one of those things, that'd be really weird.
39:27
Speaker 5: You'll be Leslie Knope's new best friend that'd be cool
39:31
Speaker 5: she needs one.
39:32
Speaker 10: Now why is Rashida Jensen on the show I haven't
39:34
Speaker 10: watched any of the new episodes she and Rob Lowe
39:36
Speaker 10: took off to have a magic baby to have their
39:39
Speaker 10: weird baby oh no don't ruin it for me I
39:42
Speaker 10: haven't seen it I'm still watching season 5 I'm watching
39:45
Speaker 10: it on Netflix god.
39:47
Speaker 5: Had they not blown it on the TV commercial, I
39:49
Speaker 5: wouldn't really know either.
39:50
Speaker 2: I don't watch TV.
39:51
Speaker 5: This is your problem.
39:52
Speaker 8: The TV will keep away the spirits.
39:54
Speaker 5: The internet is probably still letting them in.
39:56
Speaker 6: You have to watch bad advertising on television is what
39:58
Speaker 6: keeps the evil spirits away.
40:00
Speaker 2: I don't think that's how it happens.
40:04
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think those are the funniest things, the weirdest
40:06
Speaker 10: things that have happened lately. I mean, I'm just a
40:09
Speaker 10: magnet for strange and hilarious occurrences. Like when we were
40:13
Speaker 10: walking in, Brian is carrying a Tupperware bin full of
40:17
Speaker 10: T-shirts and some guy, what did he say?
40:19
Speaker 5: Y'all got a pig in a poke.
40:21
Speaker 2: Y'all got a pig in a poke. I don't even
40:23
Speaker 2: know what that means. That's really weird.
40:25
Speaker 6: I mean, it is a saying, but why he felt
40:27
Speaker 6: the need to say it to me in a parking
40:29
Speaker 6: lot or you in a parking lot or both of
40:31
Speaker 6: us in a parking lot.
40:32
Speaker 5: Is very strange.
40:33
Speaker 2: It's weird.
40:35
Speaker 7: Yeah.
40:35
Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty mild in the grand scheme of
40:37
Speaker 2: things that happened.
40:38
Speaker 5: It was still a little random.
40:39
Speaker 1: Yeah.
40:39
Speaker 5: A little odd.
40:41
Speaker 2: I think it might, maybe it's the town that I
40:43
Speaker 2: live in or I don't know.
40:45
Speaker 5: It might just be you.
40:46
Speaker 2: Might just be me. I think it is me.
40:48
Speaker 4: Yeah.
40:49
Speaker 2: So, I'm hungry.
40:50
Speaker 10: I really want to go to that Dairy Whip place.
40:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, we did drive by a really cool old school
40:56
Speaker 6: hamburger joint, so we're pretty sure we're going there later.
40:59
Speaker 10: I'm worried that it's going to close, though. It is Saturday, though,
41:03
Speaker 10: so that's probably what people do in this town.
41:05
Speaker 5: You should Google them.
41:07
Speaker 2: I don't even remember what it was called.
41:08
Speaker 5: They might have internet in this place.
41:10
Speaker 2: I bet they do.
41:11
Speaker 6: We'll flag down one of those two again and be like, hey,
41:13
Speaker 6: I'm sure you know if it closes or not.
41:15
Speaker 5: Of all the cool things in your town. They probably
41:17
Speaker 5: know about that.
41:19
Speaker 1: Yes.
41:20
Speaker 2: Oh, I got a new puppy. She almost puked on
41:23
Speaker 2: my face the other day.
41:25
Speaker 5: Your stories are charming.
41:27
Speaker 2: I know.
41:29
Speaker 5: All of them.
41:32
Speaker 10: This is why, I mean, you know, it's like, I
41:35
Speaker 10: feel like I make friends pretty easily. But then I
41:37
Speaker 10: have this problem all the time where I'm like, no
41:39
Speaker 10: one gets me. No, it's not even that. It's just
41:42
Speaker 10: because I can dial it. I can dial it down.
41:44
Speaker 10: And be, like, almost a regular person.
41:46
Speaker 5: Sometimes.
41:46
Speaker 2: But I don't want to do that.
41:48
Speaker 8: I don't. It's just not fun.
41:49
Speaker 2: You shouldn't have to.
41:50
Speaker 5: It's, like, hard. That's what we're saying.
41:51
Speaker 2: It's hard. You shouldn't have to.
41:53
Speaker 6: When you find that right person, they will appreciate you
41:56
Speaker 6: for all your dog-puking stories.
41:58
Speaker 2: I know. Right? Right?
41:59
Speaker 10: Like, yesterday, I was having this conversation with, like, my
42:02
Speaker 10: new BFF. And I mentioned, like, the Problem Child movie.
42:07
Speaker 10: He goes, I love the Problem Child movie. I was like,
42:10
Speaker 10: it's so underrated. Yeah.
42:12
Speaker 2: He was like, I listen to the soundtrack all the time.
42:15
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm so glad we're friends.
42:18
Speaker 8: Yeah.
42:19
Speaker 5: You're both weird.
42:19
Speaker 2: I know. It's awesome.
42:22
Speaker 8: Yeah.
42:23
Speaker 10: And, I mean, oh, yeah. But, yeah, she's a really
42:26
Speaker 10: cute puppy. And she was sleeping, like, right above my face.
42:30
Speaker 10: And it was, like, 5 in the morning. And I
42:32
Speaker 10: heard her starting to throw up. And I, like, was
42:34
Speaker 10: able to catch it in my hand before it went
42:36
Speaker 10: on my face.
42:36
Speaker 2: That was horrible.
42:39
Speaker 5: Charming to blast.
42:41
Speaker 2: So charming. All my stories. I'm like a Disney princess.
42:46
Speaker 5: Aren't you?
42:47
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what? I think that's why I wear
42:50
Speaker 2: party dresses all the time because I'm like the world's.
42:53
Speaker 10: Most disgusting human being that I have to balance it out.
42:57
Speaker 5: Everywhere you go is a party.
42:59
Speaker 8: Yeah.
43:01
Speaker 10: Also, my life has been heavily influenced by that Tom
43:04
Speaker 10: Petty song, Last Days with Mary Jane. So every time
43:07
Speaker 10: I get dressed in the morning, I sing to myself, Honey,
43:10
Speaker 10: put on that part. There's a lot of singing in
43:12
Speaker 10: my life.
43:12
Speaker 5: You've seen the video, right?
43:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know she dies, or she's already dead.
43:17
Speaker 5: So you really want somebody to dance around with you
43:18
Speaker 5: while you're dead.
43:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
43:20
Speaker 6: Well, we had a guy earlier that likes dead bodies,
43:22
Speaker 6: so we can see what we can put together.
43:26
Speaker 2: I just choked on air.
43:28
Speaker 5: Did you catch it in your hand?
43:31
Speaker 10: I didn't throw up. Yeah, but anyway, back to my story.
43:38
Speaker 10: Which I think I was done with.
43:39
Speaker 2: I don't know.
43:40
Speaker 5: Oh, Lord.
43:41
Speaker 2: That's a glorious mullet. It's a glory mullet. That's a
43:46
Speaker 2: new thing.
43:46
Speaker 5: That is straight out of To Catch a Yeti.
43:48
Speaker 6: For those of you who have been following along, there
43:51
Speaker 6: were some beauty.
43:52
Speaker 5: Mullets, eh?
43:53
Speaker 2: Beauty mullet. Fashion mullet. Beauty mullet. Glory mullet. Should be
43:57
Speaker 2: like a system of writing mullets. Like butts.
44:01
Speaker 5: You can put that with your butt grading.
44:04
Speaker 8: Nice.

45:35
Speaker 7: we're getting ready to do our next show, and I
45:37
Speaker 7: thought it might be cool for you to look behind
45:40
Speaker 7: the scenes.
45:40
Speaker 1: And see how the magic happens. In fact, Conduit is
45:44
Speaker 1: getting Towerbot-ready.

Speaker 1: This is Roger Corman, and you're listening to Movie Meltdown.

46:51
Speaker 3: enough movies.
46:52
Speaker 11: All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.
46:55
Speaker 3: And now, on with the show.
47:01
Speaker 11: Thank you.
47:59
Speaker 1: All right, Marlena.
47:59
Speaker 5: We're about to go and talk to Peter Weller.
48:03
Speaker 2: I'm so excited. Yay!
48:05
Speaker 5: We did get a chance to talk to Peter Weller.
48:07
Speaker 5: Thanks to PJ.
48:09
Speaker 6: Wes definitely got us in the door, but PJ went
48:11
Speaker 6: out of his way to at least make sure we
48:13
Speaker 6: got a chance to spend a few minutes with him.
48:16
Speaker 5: So it is short. I just kind of hit.
48:18
Speaker 6: The big movies or one or two things I thought
48:22
Speaker 6: would be interesting, but it was literally minutes before.
48:25
Speaker 5: He had to go and do the Q & A.
48:27
Speaker 6: The credits were about to roll on the Buckaroo Banzai,
48:30
Speaker 6: so he was just getting ready to walk off. So
48:33
Speaker 6: It is quick, but we do get a chance to
48:35
Speaker 6: talk to Peter Weller, so that's awesome. So let's go
48:38
Speaker 6: there now and see what Peter has to say. I
48:42
Speaker 6: just kind of wanted to do a touch base on
48:44
Speaker 6: a few. I didn't know if you wanted to talk
48:46
Speaker 6: about anything specific movie-wise.
48:47
Speaker 1: No, you asked me because I'm ready.
48:49
Speaker 5: All right, all right. Well, I mean, Buckaroo Banzai is
48:51
Speaker 5: pretty amazing. How did that come together?
48:54
Speaker 6: Is it one of those that when you read it,
48:56
Speaker 6: it seemed as outlandish as it came together?
48:59
Speaker 1: No, when I read it, I didn't understand it. I
49:01
Speaker 1: still don't understand it, and if you could tell me
49:03
Speaker 1: what it's about, I'd be happy.
49:06
Speaker 6: What did you want to do as far as approaching
49:08
Speaker 6: that character? I mean, he definitely holds that film together.
49:12
Speaker 1: I based him on three people, Adam Ant, Elia Kazan,
49:15
Speaker 1: and Jacques Cousteau.
49:16
Speaker 8: Nice. I mean, as far as.
49:20
Speaker 6: RoboCop, when you read through that the first time, was
49:22
Speaker 6: the satire already there, or was it straightforward?
49:25
Speaker 1: No, that was already there. It was a brilliant script.
49:29
Speaker 1: And I got a call from my agent, a great guy,
49:32
Speaker 1: Rick Nassita, and said, hey, there's a film about a robot.
49:35
Speaker 1: Maybe you want to do it, maybe not. Go meet
49:36
Speaker 1: the director, Paul Verhoeven. He's a Dutch guy, so they
49:38
Speaker 1: don't have to tell me who he is. I knew
49:39
Speaker 1: who Paul Verhoeven was. I was a big fan of him.
49:41
Speaker 1: Read the script. It was brilliant. And just told Paul
49:44
Speaker 1: Verhoeven right up front, I want to do this movie.
49:47
Speaker 1: And I know your movies. You wanted me to test.
49:48
Speaker 1: I didn't test. And I conned him, and I kind
49:52
Speaker 1: of browbeat him into me doing it.
49:55
Speaker 5: How much of it did you add as far as character-wise?
49:58
Speaker 1: Well, I added a lot with the help of Moni Akin. M-O-N-I-Y-A-K-I-N,
50:04
Speaker 1: who's head of the movement department at Juilliard, who essentially
50:07
Speaker 1: worked all that movement out. So it was six months
50:09
Speaker 1: of preparation for that thing. And it lowered the voice
50:12
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff.
50:14
Speaker 5: Yeah. In other words, going to do Naked Lunch.
50:17
Speaker 6: That's one of those, I was working with Cronenberg, and
50:21
Speaker 6: then you got to know Burroughs because of that movie,
50:23
Speaker 6: or had you known him before that?
50:25
Speaker 1: I didn't know Burroughs before. The book was one of
50:28
Speaker 1: my very favorite books, a seminal book of import to me.
50:31
Speaker 1: It's considered by Time Life one of the 10 or
50:35
Speaker 1: 20 most seminal books written in the English language in
50:37
Speaker 1: the 20th century. It's satire. It's Gulliver's Travels. It's social, heavy,
50:44
Speaker 1: heavy satire. And Cronenberg I was a fan of. And
50:47
Speaker 1: another thing, I browbeat Cronenberg into hiring me. I wrote
50:50
Speaker 1: him a letter and told him I wanted to do it.
50:53
Speaker 6: And.
50:54
Speaker 1: He met with me and hired me. And Burroughs and
50:57
Speaker 1: I hung out for about two or three months before
51:00
Speaker 1: the film.
51:01
Speaker 10: Thank you.
51:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, man.
51:04
Speaker 11: And like that, he's gone.
51:09
Speaker 6: All right, so we are rounding things out here at
51:12
Speaker 6: the Film Fest.
51:14
Speaker 5: We've got PJ back.
51:16
Speaker 6: Go ahead and give them the information as far as
51:18
Speaker 6: if they want to seek you out in the future.
51:21
Speaker 8: My name is PJ Starks. Are you talking about my
51:24
Speaker 8: personal information?
51:25
Speaker 5: You can do all of it, you know.

51:47
Speaker 8: do expect to get about 10 page likes today. once

51:54
Speaker 5: That doesn't just go for Facebook, right? You pretty much
51:56
Speaker 5: accept anybody. Is that what you're saying?
51:57
Speaker 8: Pretty much. If you show up at my house, I'll
51:59
Speaker 8: give you a high five. I'll let you in. I'll
52:00
Speaker 8: make you some cocoa. And then I will ask you
52:02
Speaker 8: to like all my Facebook pages.
52:05
Speaker 5: We're moving into real world now. We have to like

52:08
Speaker 8: You're like, look at this.
52:09
Speaker 5: Look at this. You like it? Okay, I like it.
52:11
Speaker 1: God.
52:12
Speaker 8: I'm going to treat you like you're my mom. And
52:14
Speaker 8: I'm going to say, hey, look at what I did.
52:16
Speaker 8: Which is, you know, I've gotten pretty good at that
52:18
Speaker 8: over the years, saying, hey, look at what I'm doing.
52:20
Speaker 8: So it's working out. Basically, Facebook is just the refrigerator
52:23
Speaker 8: of the Internet.
52:24
Speaker 5: It's like, hey, look what I did. Put it up
52:25
Speaker 5: on the fridge. Mom goes, that's great.
52:29
Speaker 8: You know, you should make like a different version. And
52:32
Speaker 8: instead of the wall, you could do the fridge. Just
52:38
Speaker 8: so you know, I just silenced my wife's phone call.
52:41
Speaker 8: So that's how important you guys are to me right now.
52:43
Speaker 6: I'd say we'll keep that between us, but now you're
52:45
Speaker 6: going out into the Internet and millions and millions.
52:48
Speaker 5: Of listeners just heard you. Especially that guy in Sri Lanka.
52:52
Speaker 5: But anyway.
52:53
Speaker 8: Or Wes, who we'll listen to this later. Which, you know,
52:56
Speaker 8: I'm sure he's just seething because he did not get
52:58
Speaker 8: the backstage pass that you guys got.
53:00
Speaker 6: See, we're in the cool kids club. And Wes didn't
53:04
Speaker 6: qualify is what we're saying.
53:06
Speaker 8: That's what happens when you wear pretentious scarves. Actually, that
53:10
Speaker 8: is my wife.
53:10
Speaker 5: You're going to get in trouble. We better let you
53:12
Speaker 5: go before you get in trouble. Thank you. All right. Well,
53:15
Speaker 5: I think that about wraps it up this week. We
53:17
Speaker 5: do want to thank everybody at the River City Festival
53:20
Speaker 5: of Films, specifically Wes, PJ, and I guess we have
53:23
Speaker 5: to thank Peter Weller for at least taking a few.
53:26
Speaker 6: Minutes there to talk to us. And that was awesome.
53:29
Speaker 6: So it's been a fun day.
53:31
Speaker 5: And we got to eat potato pizza.
53:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good.
53:34
Speaker 5: What was the name of that place?
53:37
Speaker 1: Feta. Feta.
53:38
Speaker 5: There's an extra little plug for feta there because we
53:40
Speaker 5: liked pizza with mashed potatoes on it. There's a shocker
53:44
Speaker 5: knowing our career. Yeah.
53:46
Speaker 10: Everyone in Owensboro is really, like, friendly. Like, a level
53:51
Speaker 10: of friendly that I would consider creepy in Louisville. But,
53:55
Speaker 10: I mean, it's a small town thing. Like, I remember
53:58
Speaker 10: once when I was visiting my aunt in Salem, Indiana,
54:01
Speaker 10: every time I'd walk down the street, everyone would wave
54:03
Speaker 10: at me.
54:03
Speaker 2: And I was like, what the fuck is wrong with
54:05
Speaker 2: you people? That's just what people do in small towns.
54:07
Speaker 2: They're nice.
54:09
Speaker 5: I wasn't either. It was kind of weirding me out.
54:11
Speaker 5: And then I got into it. It's cool. But yeah,
54:13
Speaker 5: everybody we've met.
54:14
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Oh, you're being nice.
54:18
Speaker 6: Everybody we've talked to today has been really great, I
54:20
Speaker 6: have to say, which is not always the case in
54:22
Speaker 6: some of these events. So it was fun. So thanks, everyone,
54:27
Speaker 6: for putting it together. It's been a good day.
54:29
Speaker 5: And with that, we will leave you.
54:31
Speaker 8: Otherwise, that about does it.
54:32
Speaker 5: We will return next week. Same geek time, same geek feed.
54:34
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. Thank you.
55:17
Speaker 5: Thank you.
56:16
Speaker 7: Thank you.
57:16
Speaker 6: Thank you.
57:52
Speaker 11: Thank you.
58:33
Speaker 2: Where's that music coming from?
58:35
Speaker 5: That TV over there?
58:38
Speaker 11: Oh.
58:40
Speaker 5: You just thought it was a portal for spirits?
58:43
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what TVs are to me.
58:45
Speaker 5: You didn't know sound came out of them?
58:47
Speaker 2: Spirit portals. Yeah. God. I know how to operate in
58:53
Speaker 2: the real world, sort of.
58:55
Speaker 5: Only when you dial it back a couple notches. Yeah.
58:59
Speaker 2: That's probably true.
58:59
Speaker 11: Oh, Lord.
59:03
Speaker 2: I'm going to go find a soda, I think.
59:06
Speaker 5: Because you need more sugar.
59:07
Speaker 2: Did you turn this off like five minutes ago? I
59:09
Speaker 2: never turned it off. I've really just been rambling. I
59:12
Speaker 2: don't even know what I'm talking about.
59:13
Speaker 5: That's called movie melting.
59:16
Speaker 2: I'm just standing here.
