- 3:59the trailer for the movie coming out called Conclave? I know I have not.
- 4:03Ray Findes is in it with Stanley Tucci and John Letgow, so that's
- 4:11a pretty good cast. I mean. Also lots and lots and lots of
- 4:13other men and nuns, so there's some women there too. Anyway, it
- 4:16looks interesting. It looks kind of like a you know, thriller, Who
- 4:20can you trust? Who can't you trust? While you're deciding who the pope
- 4:24is? Question three. Mildred J. Hill composed the melody to good Morning
- 4:32to All in eighteen ninety three, which was used for what other song you
- 4:38will accept? Happy birthday to you or happy Birthday? I will say there
- 4:46is some dispute on it whether or not Mildred J. Hill actually did compose
- 4:51the melody for good morning to all. It's under dispute, It'll always be
- 4:57in dispute. Who Question four. When dubbed in Spanish, the Back to
- 5:01the Future character Marty McFly was called Levi Strauss instead of what other name Calvin
- 5:09Klein because his mom famously sees him in underwear that says Calvin Klein in it
- 5:16and she thinks that's his name. Classic, but I liked that they had
- 5:21to change it. I wonder if Spanish audiences just didn't know Calvin Klein very
- 5:27well, could be that'd be my gift. Round two. Question five.
- 5:30The category is video games. What video game franchise developed by EA Sports was

- 8:37Is it that thing when they test the wings before they go in the air
- 8:41they go up and down. No, it is folding wings. So the
- 8:46aircraft wings could be folded up and that created a lot more space to fit
- 8:52more aircraft. That's it for the first half, which means it's time for

- 15:01and The Deer Hunter. The actor was John Cazol. That's one of
- 15:07those hard questions, but then interesting one to you. Ye hear about it?
- 15:11Because yeah, that the fact that every single movie he ever acted in
- 15:13was nominated for Best Picture is pretty amazing, and The Godfather Part Two and
- 15:18The Conversation were nominated the same year, so he was in a movie that
- 15:24couldn't win because you know, he couldn't win both at the same year.
- 15:28Now with that attitude, Yeah, and three of the five movies won Best
- 15:33Picture, so yeah, concerned that one went up against another one. So
- 15:37the only one that was nominated but then won Best Picture that wasn't up against
- 15:41another movie that year was in nineteen seventy five for Dog Day Afternoon, and
- 15:46that won Best Original Screenplay. He died in nineteen seventy eight, so that's
- 15:52why he was only in five movies from lung cancer and his girlfriend at the
- 15:58time, who really took care of him? What was Meryl Streep? Wow?
- 16:02Yeah, And Stewart says in the movie Dog Day Afternoon, his character
- 16:06Salas offered a cigarette and his character says he doesn't smoke because he doesn't want
- 16:11lung cancer. But in real life the actor was a chainsmoker and died of
- 16:15lung cancer in nineteen seventy eight. Jeez. Yeah, that's it for the
