1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.879
So Scott missed out on a lot of good cons

2
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:08.199
last season. He did, and we already know he's gonna

3
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:11.560
miss a bunch of them this season. M h He's

4
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.679
not here with us today, if you guys don't mind, though,

5
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.440
I would like to to say something nice about Scott

6
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:23.120
absolutely mm hmmm. We are assembled here today to pay

7
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.440
respect to our honored friend, and yet it should be

8
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.120
noted that in the midst of sorrow, this absence takes

9
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.159
place in the shadow of new comic cons the sunrise

10
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.960
of new conventions, conventions that our beloved comrade gave his

11
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.920
time to protect and nourish. He did not feel this

12
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.039
sacrifice of vain or empty one, and we will not

13
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:49.119
debate his profound wisdom on this episode of Our Friend.

14
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.799
We can only say this, of all the souls we

15
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.920
have encountered on the convention floors packed with vendors, fans,

16
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.359
and celebrities, this was the most human.

17
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:05.480
I love it.

18
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:10.840
I had no choice, man, I had to do it.

19
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:42.359

Yeah, I heard it's a good one, you know, with

51
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.120
a lot of good stuff talked about it. But I'm

52
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:02.879
looking forward to seeing it.

53
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.000
Yes, I'm here all well, uh, and I'm of course,

54
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.919
I'm a I'm a I'm staying local. I'm gonna head

55
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.280
to Horror Hound here in Cincinnati. Uh. But more on

56
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.879
those two at the end of the episode, because for now,

57
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.120
let's let's jump into it. Let's uh, let's talk about

58
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.000
where we've been. Uh, you know, you want to start

59
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.639
with Uh, let's start with lexing and Comic Con. I

60
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.560
think that was our first one last season, wasn't it.

61
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.759
That was there just because I wanted to go along

62
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.680
for the ride to hang out with you guys. I

63
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.360
didn't specifically have anybody to meet. I know Wayne had

64
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.919
gone to meet some people, but for me, it was

65
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.439
there just to hang out with you guys, to experience

66
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.400
the convention. Because obviously this' you know, the beginning of

67
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:43.120
the con season.

68
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.800
So Wayne this, you know, like Dave, I'm I'm along

69
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:49.120
for the ride on this one. You you kind of

70
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.879
had an agenda and there was one person I thankfully

71
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.840
got to meet because of you. But tell tell us Wayne, Uh,

72
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.400
what what what was the agenda for Lexington Comic Con.

73
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.400
I think it the agenda was just to start the

74
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.199
convention season because they had a lot of great guests.

75
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.120
Don't get me wrong, they had a lot of great guests,

76
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:10.159
but I think some of them we'd already met, and

77
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.759
a lot of them just weren't were of genres that

78
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.839
we weren't interested in. I personally was went and wanted

79
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.720
to go because of the comic artists that were there.

80
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.879
There were quite a few of them, really really good ones,

81
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.639
and I got to meet them all too. Met Kevin Nolan,

82
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.959
Jose Lewis, Darcia Lopez, which he's always been an idle

83
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:33.920
of mine. I love his work ever since he used

84
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.639
to do Atari Force, Jim Brigman, she was the artist

85
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.600
on Power Pack back in the eighties. And then, of

86
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.839
course my personal favorite, and this is the one you

87
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:47.079
were talking about, Jim Storenko, who's a legend, a comic legend.

88
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:51.160
His covers, his work on X Men is just phenomenal

89
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.959
and he's an incredible person, very interesting person to meet.

90
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:56.319
And I'll say that.

91
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.680
This guy, I mean I knew the name Wayne. I

92
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:05.040
just didn't know the personality and he's he's like he's

93
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.600
like stan Lee, Robert Downey Junior and Hugh Hefner rolled

94
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.360
into one with a little bit with with a little

95
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:12.079
bit of Dean Martin.

96
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.360
Right.

97
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:18.199
The dude does a rock star. I actually, you know,

98
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.199
he's he's done so much for Marvel, But I was

99
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.079
kind of shocked and surprised looking at his work that

100
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.120
he did a lot of concept art for the Raiders

101
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.319
of the Lost Ark And as soon as I saw

102
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:31.399
that print, I had to have it and I had

103
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.120
to have his autograph on it. But the guy was

104
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:36.519
just a blast to talk with.

105
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.079
Yeah, I mean, it was great meeting all these comic artists,

106
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.879
and of course it's a good convention. It's a great convention,

107
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.600
especially if you are a comic book fan and you're

108
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:47.959
going there to meet the artists or just to shop.

109
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.800
Their dealer's room is absolutely incredible. We didn't really spend

110
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.160
too much time down at the in the actors area.

111
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.759
The only really experienced we had is David and I

112
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.639
got our photographs taken with cat Her and Tate from

113
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.120
Doctor Who which was you know, was exciting seeing her again.

114
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:04.800
M hmm.

115
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.600
I'll tell you what, Wayne, you you bump into her

116
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.319
one more time? I think you guys are going steady

117
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:11.000
at this point.

118
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.120
I'd love to meet her again.

119
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.439
You've seen yeah, you I know, I know we've talked.

120
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.800
You've talked to her at motor City. Uh you know

121
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.480
lex Lexington. Yeah, she's uh, she seems to always be

122
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:22.759
on your list there, Wayne.

123
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.279
I'm always happy to meet her. She's a great person

124
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:28.319
and a great companion.

125
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.360
Yeah, yuh, you got You're absolutely right though, Wayne. A

126
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.560
lot of great talent, a lot of great celebrities here.

127
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.279
And it's one of those situations where when you make

128
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.560
a habit of going to these things, you're going to

129
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.439
start to see the same the same faces. Yeah. Uh

130
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.040
and Catherine Tate's situation with Wayne. Sometimes that's a that's

131
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.079
a great thing, but uh an other times it's like, well,

132
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.480
you know, it's like, hey, I've I've I've met that

133
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.279
that individual, I've talked with that individual, and uh now

134
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:54.639
I want to move on and I want to do more.

135
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.279
You know, we're always happy that we see Sometimes we

136
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.319
see these familiar faces. It's great they're coming back. But uh,

137
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.639
you know, in this instance, you know, I was kind

138
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.399
of like David, I was along. I was long along

139
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:07.639
for the ride like you were. And Uh, I like

140
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.000
that we kind of focused more on the the artists

141
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.079
this time, you know, especially the comic artist. I thought

142
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:14.639
it was a really good, really good trip.

143
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.160
I had a blast.

144
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:18.360
I knew you did.

145
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:21.199
Uh.

146
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.519
Moving on. Uh, it wasn't long after that we uh,

147
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.519
we were going to the spring horror Hound in Cincinnati.

148
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.720
I gotta tell you there's some amazing uh meeting greets there.

149
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.560
Horrorhound is always I mean they you know, if you

150
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.160
if if they've got room for one hundred people, they're

151
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.079
they're bringing two hundred, right, It's packed. This is one

152
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:44.920
of those this this is this is the one con

153
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.600
It's it's elbow to elbow, shoulder to shoulder, right, David.

154
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.879
Oh, absolutely, I think it's too credited. Sometimes it's a

155
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:53.720
great convention, don't get me wrong, But I think you've

156
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:55.879
kind of outgrown the space that they're at.

157
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.399
I worry about that as it gets bigger and bigger

158
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.759
each each season. Yeah, I feel like they may it

159
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.959
might be time to move down to the convention Center.

160
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.000
Are I should? Yeah?

161
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.519
Yeah? Who the David? Who'd you meet at Horrhound? That

162
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:10.680
you were excited about.

163
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.000
So I met a few people there. I know William

164
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.600
Catt was one of them. But a couple of cool

165
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:19.079
experiences I had there. George went was another one. Him

166
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.240
and William Cat were there because of house. Obviously. I

167
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.160
remember waiting at George's table. Uh, he wasn't there yet,

168
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:27.839
so I just waited for a little bit and I

169
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:31.120
was like the second person in line. But he stepped

170
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.200
out when he arrived. He came up to the table

171
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.720
and he had like some fruit that he had sat

172
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.440
down on the table, and he looked at me and

173
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:38.679
looked out at the fruit. He goes, you can have

174
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.759
one of those, but you gotta be good, and.

175
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.399
It just it was.

176
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.600
It was hysterical when he did that. But the other

177
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.639
experience I had there, I didn't get his autograph, but

178
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.720
it was Eduardo Sanchez, who is the director of the

179
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.720
Blair Witch Project and in other things like Exists. If

180
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.679
you've not seen Exist, obviously it's a bigfoot movie. And

181
00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.840
anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge bigfoot

182
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.799
for sasquatch whatever. Yeah, And I remember asking him because

183
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.320
I looked at his table and I didn't see any

184
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.120
eight by tens or anything like that from Exists. So

185
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:10.240
I brought up the conversation with him. I said, how

186
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.679
can you don't have anything exist? He said, I was

187
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.919
thinking about it, but they just didn't print any for me.

188
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.120
And then I asked him. I told him, I said,

189
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.799
you know, there's not a lot of good Sasquatch films

190
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.759
out there, I said, except for Exists. I love that

191
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.399
film and it It sparked him because I guess he

192
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.120
got used to hearing nothing but about Blair Witch all weekend.

193
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.600
But when I started that conversation about Exist, I mean

194
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.279
you could really see him, like, you know, sit up

195
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.240
and really start getting involved in the conversation. But it

196
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.480
really led into him talking about his Stumbman, the guy

197
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.039
who played the Sasquatch in this and he was he

198
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.799
was laughing, saying, man, this guy would call me and

199
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.679
shouldn't be videos of him just running to Basically he

200
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.919
looked like Bigfoot. It was a great conversation with Edward though,

201
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.639
so great experience at that convention.

202
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.000
I would say, Uh, listeners, if you if you're not

203
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.159
familiar with the film Exists, it is fantastic if you

204
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.240
if you like the big It legend. Uh and you

205
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.080
should watch it because, uh, Dave, as you recall, I

206
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.240
had a I had a conversation with Edward or Sanchez

207
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.360
after that we talked about him, you know, doing the

208
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:14.000
show and uh and us covering an episode for exists

209
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.080
because you know, I mean, I'm sure they he has

210
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.080
talked about the blair Witch project until he's blue in

211
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.799
the face, but we've offered him an opportunity and we're

212
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.559
we're working on it. So listener to stay tuned for

213
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.639
that one. I'll tell you who was great though, the

214
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.440
cast of blair Witch. If I could just throw out quickly,

215
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.320
so are our good friend, an amazing artist, John Wright,

216
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.320
who is a fixture at at Horror Hound.

217
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:39.240
Uh.

218
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.039
He had done some some special blair Witch Scooby Doo

219
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:49.320
themed paintings, and you know, we we told him, you know, uh,

220
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.399
you know, we told the cast and they're like, where

221
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.159
is this guy? How come we haven't met him yet?

222
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.679
This is a Sunday, right, and so we're like, they're like,

223
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.159
we want to talk to him, we want to meet him.

224
00:10:59.279 --> 00:10:59.960
So you get ready.

225
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.480
We remember they were wrapping up, they get ready to leave,

226
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.559
so they you know, we high tailed back to John.

227
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.600
We're like dude, we'll watch your stuff. Just get over

228
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.639
there right now. Take some prints because we had brought

229
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.200
we had brought them all. We'd brought each of the

230
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.240
one of them a print for their personal collection. So

231
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.000
you know, we we got to hijack John's booth. I

232
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:23.639
think he shares it with Bell Booking, Uh comic. So

233
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:25.559
we got to we got to mind the store for

234
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:27.720
a couple of minutes so that John could get over there.

235
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.080
You know, he was, He seemed pretty happy about the

236
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:34.000
about the whole exchange. So I was glad that he

237
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.000
had that that opportunity, and you know, it's always great

238
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.600
when yeah, it's always great when artists can meet artists.

239
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.399
And the fact that they were demanding they wanted John,

240
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.480
they were demanding John Wright. So we're like, you know what,

241
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:46.759
we can make John Wright happen for you.

242
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.480
We can make an have it hold on, I'll tell you.

243
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.799
Yeah, like you said that, William kat George went. They

244
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.759
were they were fun to talk to. William katt Man

245
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.399
he is he's just he's a conversationalist, you know, And

246
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.679
it's amazing because you know it was gonna be months

247
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:04.200
later we did, uh, we did Big Wednesday starring William Katten. Yeah,

248
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.320
looking back, I was like, man, wish, wish we would

249
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.320
have known in retrospect that, you know, kidding, couldn't talking

250
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.120
about it, couldn't talk to them a little bit about that.

251
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.039
Uh.

252
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:14.519
One of my crushes, Barbara Crampton, was there. Oh yeah,

253
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.480
so I had the opportunity to meet with her, talk

254
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:21.399
with her. Did a movie last year called Suitable Flesh

255
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:25.200
with Heather Graham, who I know we'll talk about later. Uh.

256
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:28.240
So Barbara was was pretty e stoked to see someone

257
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.759
talking about Suitable Flesh because obviously, you know Reanimator and

258
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.320
you know from beyond she's she's got like her her

259
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.840
classics that everyone always talks about, but she is, you know,

260
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:42.519
she's still making amazing movies, scary movies. So that's that's

261
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.240
what I was excited to talk to her about. Wayne,

262
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.000
Who did you Who did you run into a horrorhound?

263
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:47.279
Who were you? Who are you there for?

264
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.080
First of all, as most people know, I am not

265
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.080
a horror fan. I mean, I watched the films, but

266
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.200
I'm not the biggest horror fan. So I'm walking around

267
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.639
these horror conventions, you know, looking for people who had

268
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:00.559
started and other stuff, and really you know, these conventions

269
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:02.159
like this, you don't have to be a horror fan

270
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.039
because these people have been in so much, so many

271
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.600
different films. You're going to find someone something or someone

272
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:12.679
that you'll enjoy. And we spent We mentioned Edward Sanchez.

273
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.639
I really loved talking to him and getting him to

274
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.600
sign my Star Trek poster because he had directed an

275
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.320
episode of the second season of Strange New Worlds, which

276
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.399
we had talked about the year before on our podcast,

277
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.240
and I love getting behind the scenes autographs and it

278
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.519
was great to getting his. And I also got to

279
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.879
meet Zach Gallaghan, who you know, he's best known for

280
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.639
Grimlin's but he was on Star Trek Voyager. But I

281
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.879
think my favorite person meeting, because we get so little

282
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.879
opportunity to meet these these type of people, was Richard band.

283
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.399
He is a film composer. He's done so many horror

284
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.279
films and he was selling CDs right there, signing it

285
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.519
incredibly nice, very very talkative, and he signed my Stargate

286
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.279
SG one CD and I was just thrilled to meet

287
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.000
a film composer like him.

288
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.159
Wayne and I were talking about this recently that we

289
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.679
would love to see more behind the scenes people come

290
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.639
to these conventions, especially composers, you know, I mean, come on,

291
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.919
conventions were listening to this and fight more behind the

292
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:16.519
scenes people. We would love to meet them and talk

293
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.080
to them and get to know them because you know,

294
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.000
they work as hard as the people in front of

295
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.600
the cameras.

296
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.799
Yeah, and they're they're great to meet. I love talking

297
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:24.399
to these people.

298
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.720
Well, you know, I think they're doing a lot of

299
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.200
these cons are doing a great job of bringing directors in.

300
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.240
They are they are because that that wasn't something we

301
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.159
were seeing even a couple of years ago, right, you know,

302
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.360
in the last two years, we've we've we've met some

303
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:40.759
amazing directors, you know, some of some of the some

304
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.039
of the icons that we we look up to. So

305
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:45.960
I'm all for it, though, like the you know, bring on,

306
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.919
bring on the directors, bring on the composers, bring on

307
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:50.320
the FX guys too, you know.

308
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:51.960
Absolutely, yeah, definitely.

309
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.519
So we took it. We took about a month off,

310
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.360
and then you know, there's this big one in Pittsburgh,

311
00:14:58.360 --> 00:14:59.240
the Still City.

312
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:00.639
Con a big one.

313
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.080
We're not We're not going to Still City. We can't.

314
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.720
We don't have time to leave you know longer. And

315
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.440
then and then they announced John Carpenter. That's what we're

316
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.519
there's gonna be a Kessel run. We're gonna drive Sunday

317
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:18.120
morning to Pittsburgh to meet John Carpenter and then we're

318
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:19.360
gonna drive right back.

319
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.240
And boy was it worth it. It really was.

320
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.679
Oh man, it was so worth it now, I mean Carpenter,

321
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.600
just to stand in his presence. Yes, for me, that

322
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.879
was like I'm staying, I'm talking to the Beatles. You know,

323
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:38.159
he John Carpenter. You know Christine, the Christine the Plymouth

328
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.120
It was just one of those situations where I couldn't

329
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.799
stop smiling because I never ever imagined I would get

330
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.159
to meet John Carpenter. There's just no way. I mean,

331
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.480
years ago when we went to conventions, Wayne and I,

332
00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.840
I mean, these are the kind of people that you

333
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.080
never expected to see come to a convention, at least

334
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.480
even in our area. Maybe San Diego Comic Con sure,

335
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.279
but in this area, no way.

336
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.360
Never in a million years, no way.

337
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:11.960
Now, all of a sudden, I'm standing in front of

338
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.000
John Carpenter at a convention that was, you know, in

339
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:17.639
driving range, and it's just absolutely amazing experience to meet him.

340
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.600
And it was almost overwhelming actually because what he has

341
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:24.080
accomplished over the years, and I'm a huge Halloween fan

342
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:26.600
and just getting him to sign my Halloween poster, Oh

343
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.279
my god, man, I was like a little kid again.

344
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.240
Yeah, I gotta tell you standing next to John, we're

345
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.279
we're waiting for our photo and the camera operator is like, hey,

346
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.039
give me a second, I gotta change out something on

347
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:39.559
I think I think she was changing the battery on

348
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.080
her camera or something like that. You're not gonna stand

349
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:46.080
next to John Carpenter not talk. So you know, we're

350
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.600
talking about we're talking about the show film Byen. You know.

351
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.559
I told him, I said, John, We've we've done five

352
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.759
episodes on you. You know, what do you what do

353
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:54.080
he thinks next for us? What do you think do

354
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.080
you think we should do? You know? And he kind

355
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:00.200
of looked puzzled for a second. He goes five, I

356
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:05.559
don't know, man, maybe maybe take a break. Alrighty, we

357
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.119
will or will not have a John Carpenter episode this year.

358
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:13.240
Based on John Carpenter's recommendation, we'll see Dave. Who else

359
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:14.440
did you talk to.

360
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.039
John Ree Davies. It was my first time meeting him,

361
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:21.000
and it's funny because I would meet him again later

362
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.599
on another con that we'll get to here shortly, but

363
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.599
getting to experience to him, he is such an incredibly

364
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:31.319
friendly guy. Oh my gosh, he just all smiled. You

365
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.799
can tell he's happy to be there to meet his fans,

366
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:36.359
and it's funny. Jeff, I think you were with me

367
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.640
when I watched his autograph and obviously was getting a

368
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.000
picture of him as Sala from Indian Jones and he

369
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:46.720
started signing it and he stopped and he kind of

370
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.319
looked up at me and started laughing. He I almost

371
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:55.599
signed this, Gimili. It was a great experience and I

372
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.240
got another story. But I'm gonna talk about when we

373
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.880
get to that convention with him, because he's just he's awesome.

374
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.880
He's a consummate professional every time we see him. Have

375
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.720
you noticed he's he's kind of like Sam Raimi. He

376
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:07.839
dresses for the occasion.

377
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:08.440
Yeah.

378
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:10.720
And when I say the occasion, obviously it's comic Conso

379
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.160
I'm not saying he's cosplaying. I'm just saying the man

380
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:17.119
is in a shirt and tie, always the consummate professional.

381
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.160
It's really cool to talk. It was, you know, I'm

382
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:20.920
standing there and I'm just like, wow, this is this

383
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.759
is Salah. Yeah, you know it was. It was really

384
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:25.240
cool to talk to him. I'm really cool to meet him.

385
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.839
How about you, Wayne, Well, I mean I'd already met him,

386
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.640
but of course I got his autograph because he was

387
00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:34.519
Leonardo da Vinci as well on Star Trek Voyager, and

388
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:36.839
I had to have his name on my poster, which

389
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.759
quite a few actors since then have saw his autograph

390
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.000
on my poster and have pointed it out. They they're

391
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.480
actually rather impressed that I got that. But yeah, you know,

392
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:47.039
the big one I wanted to meet was Jeded Nelson.

393
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:51.599
You know, he's done so many things, but I'm as

394
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.799
a kid, I was a huge Transformers fan and I

395
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.559
love Transformers in the movie, and I had this mini

396
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.519
poster I wanted him to sign. He the first autograph

397
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:01.759
of hope like many that I get on it, and

398
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.079
we did long time in line with him with I

399
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:05.359
think you were with me, Jeff at that time.

400
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:07.279
Yeah, I didn't think we're gonna make it.

401
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:09.240
Honestly, I didn't either. It was just way at the

402
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.200
end of the convention. But I got it. I'm really

403
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.920
happy to meet him. I'm thrilled to have that poster

404
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:16.119
hanging up in my office.

405
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.000
Wayne. I'm curious because this, uh you know, I know

406
00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:22.720
we talked about your Star Trek poster on I want

407
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.319
to say, like the last Common episode we did, and

408
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:29.359
this thing has already amassed a lot of signatures, like

409
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:30.319
your doctor Who poster.

410
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:32.480
Yeah, I've got forty five autographs on it now.

411
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.880
Yeah, considering you started that, like what a year ago, year.

412
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:39.440
And a half or ago two years ago. Yeah, I'm just.

413
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:43.640
Curious, Wayne, like when when someone who hasn't done you know,

414
00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:45.240
maybe they did one thing for Star Trek and then

415
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.480
they moved on, you know, like like, what what's the

416
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:50.680
reaction when they see this poster and they, you know,

417
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:53.200
like someone like Jason Isaac's I remember, you know you

418
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:57.680
you'd you'd met him, uh, not too long ago. I

419
00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:59.440
don't know him from Star Trek, you know, you know

420
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.480
everyone from Start Trek way, and let's be honest, but

421
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.160
when when a when a celebrity that has done a

422
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:08.400
small role on one of the Star Trek projects, when

423
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.079
they see this poster, what, what's the what's usually the reaction.

424
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.200
They're actually very excited to talk about it, because usually

425
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:17.279
when I see these people like like a torhound and

426
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:21.519
it's a scarefest that will be talking about, you know,

427
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.960
they spend all day talking about the same thing over

428
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.440
and over and over again. And then I walk up

429
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.599
with the Star Trek poster and they are full of stories.

430
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.920
They love it or you know that they'll tell me

431
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:35.359
a little bit about the episode. They know their character.

432
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:37.960
I don't have to remind them of anything. They remember.

433
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:40.839
They they're they're thrilled to see it. And they they're

434
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:42.960
always very happy to sign my poster because they see

435
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.400
all the names and it's kind of like adding, you know,

436
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:50.000
their part to them to my legacies. I'm happy to

437
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:50.799
talk to him about it.

438
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:56.359
I'll tell you what I'm happy about. This was a

439
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:01.359
a rare opportunity for me to talk to the lovely,

440
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:06.640
the gorgeous Heather Graham, who happened to be there. And

441
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:09.680
again I mentioned Suitable Flesh with Barbara Crampton. Heather Graham

442
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:14.160
stars in Suitable Flesh. Heather Graham's you know, done a

443
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.440
little bit more on the the opposite side of the camera.

444
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.319
You know, we talked about we want more directors, we

445
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.039
want more behind the scenes people. I actually got a

446
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:24.440
I had a chance to talk with Heather. We talked

447
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:28.359
about her directing. We talked about suitable flesh. Here's what

448
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:29.160
she had to say.

449
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:30.839
It's here.

450
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:31.519

451
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:35.359
Thank hey, Heather here, it's going great.

452
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.839

embracing the horror genre though.

483
00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:57.279
So good.

00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:28.839
moments from the various conventions we recently have been to

490
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:32.400
in the past ten twelve months. It's a given. I

00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:40.359
always going to go to MotorCity Comic Coon.

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:43.079
Right, Well, yeah, yeah, it's like a tradition. Now, I

00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:45.160
love that kind of see that. Last year would have

495
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.640
been my thirteenth and fourteenth time there. Well, let's talk work.

496
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:52.640
We'll talk about the fourteenth, but let's talk about the

497
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.240
thirteenth first. This one, guys, this one was really special

498
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:01.279
to me because, as you guys remember, Charlie Hunum and

499
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:03.279
Katie Cigal were there. They were doing like the Sons

500
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.400
of Anarchy thing yep. And my brother Josh, who is

501
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:10.839
a huge fan of this show, I told him about

502
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:13.960
it and he was like, all right, I'll go now, joh.

503
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:16.960
You know, and Josh isn't exactly like the first person

504
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.839
buying a ticket for a comic con night, not at all,

505
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.200
but this one was special for This one was really

506
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:24.680
special to me because like Josh got you know, he

507
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:27.880
came along for the ride, he was excited, he got

508
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:31.079
to have some really good conversations with with Charlie Hunum

509
00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:32.720
and Katie Saga. We took a photo with him.

510
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:33.559
Uh.

511
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:36.319
They got along famously. Then Josh kind of went off

512
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:39.240
on his own and hit the vendors and wanted to

513
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:41.559
see all the shops and all the all the stuff,

514
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:46.400
all the wares. But uh, Dave, let me ask you first,

515
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:48.920
who do you want to talk about? Uh? For the

516
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:51.160
for the spring version of MotorCity comic Con.

517
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.279
Well, we both know there's a lovely lady who was

518
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:58.640
supposed to be there the previous year. Oh yeah, but

519
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:02.960
canceled and broke all of our hearts because she canceled.

520
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:07.839
But to our surprise, she was announced for the spring

521
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:10.079
that we were talking about. And of course that is

522
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:14.480
the lovely, beautiful Karen Allen, who plays Marion raven Woods.

523
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:15.079
Wow.

524
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.640
You know she is still beautiful and.

525
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:25.440
Stunning, absolutely stunning. Her smile, man, is just it's just melts.

526
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:29.000
You, it does. Yeah, she's such a sweetheart too. I mean,

527
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.319
just standing there talking to her and she's you just

528
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:33.759
lose everything going on around you because you're just so

529
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:36.559
in tune of what she is saying. And I believe

530
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:38.960
she even talked about coming to our area a lot

531
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:40.440
that we didn't know about, so we were kind of

532
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:41.400
taken aback by that.

533
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.480
Yeah. So parently, Karen's you know, she's really into the

534
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.000
the art scene in Cincinnati. Uh So we talked a

535
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.079
little bit about that. Obviously we had, you know, I

536
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.640
had to talk to her Dave about Starman of course. Yeah,

537
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.680
you know, so you know I haven't told her. It's like,

538
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.559
you know, Marian is who you wanna you want to

539
00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:04.240

want to come home to Ginny. And she was like,

542
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:10.920
it's never been put that way. I love that. Thank

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:15.839
you and just an amazing woman. Uh, you know, had

544
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:17.599
had a chance to talk to her a little bit.

545
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:23.440
Here's here's what she had to say. Hello, it's a

546
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:25.920
pleasure to meet you. It is absolutely a pleasure to

547
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:29.279
meet you. I can't believe I'm talking with Karen Allen.

548
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:29.960
This is so good.

549
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:32.720
Yeah, Michigan person.

550
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:37.039
No, we're actually from Cincinnati. Yeah, Cincinnati, Yeah, you do.

551
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:37.519
I do.

552
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:39.720
I do. I used to like visits.

553
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:43.079
Well, we always joved through Cincinnati when I was.

554
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:45.319
A kid because I grew up in Washington, d c.

555
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.680
Okay, and then my family was from southern Illinois, so

556
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:52.680
we would kind of, you know, freeze through there often.

557
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:57.200
And then I have a love of the old arts

558
00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:58.759
and crafts, pottery from.

559
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:00.599
Like nineteen hundred to nineteen Okay.

560
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:04.200
Cincinnati is kind of the home of that, so there's

561
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:05.799
auction houses there.

562
00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:07.240
There used to be a really.

563
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.079
Amazing look called humid.

00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:10.599
Cumular and Nolan.

566
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:13.960
I used to come to.

567
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:17.839
Cincinnati by myself, stay in a hotel near the Big

568
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:21.039
Square downtown. Yeah, and they had they would have auctions

569
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:24.160
there once a year or something and I would go and.

570
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:27.599
Uh so, I guess, and I still they do. I

571
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:28.680
don't think they do.

572
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.480
In Cincinnati every year. I think it's in July they

573
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:36.079

Obviously don't love potter.

577
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:48.119
I'm not pottery, not so much artifacts. Maybe Karen, could

578
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.119
we could we ask you a question for our listeners. Okay,

00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:53.640
So it's the fortieth anniversary of Starman.

590
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:23.519
We did so many fun things together. Jeff and I

591
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:24.720
started taking.

592
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:28.079
Photographs together and have the shooting of the film, and

593
00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:30.240
we made a book as a game, and then had

594
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.240
a mention for everybody that worked on the film. So

595
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:35.240
and that on was you know how he's kind of

596
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:36.720
he's continued doing.

597
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:40.200
He's done this is this, This was the first one.

598
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.880
I love it. I absolutely love it. Marion raven Wood

599
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:47.720
is everything. She's the ideal woman. Well I did think

600
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:50.480
that until until Jenny Hayden came along and Thedn't that

601
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:53.960
that that line that you give Jeff in the movie

602
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:56.519
Love is when you care more for someone else than

603
00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:59.519
you do yourself. That's just that's that summed it up perfectly.

604
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:02.960

she's she's one of the celebrities that will take photos

613

at their table with you.

614
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:22.559
Right.

00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:27.519
Yes, So, I've got a replica of the medallion from

00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:30.920
Raiders I was playing in this. You know she's she

617
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:32.880
puts my arm, her arm around me, She's like, oh,

618
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:35.240

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:36.680
I would you be willing to you know, I pull

620
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:37.759
it out of the bag and I said, would you

621
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:39.480
be willing to hold this up? She's like, oh, I'll

622
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:42.799
do better than that. She puts the necklace on her

623
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:45.599
or you know, around her neck, and I get I

624
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:50.160
get a photo of Marion wearing the medallion and then

625
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:52.400

626
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.319

627
00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:58.920
from Karen Allen's neck. I could not be happy about that. Wayne.

628
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:00.319
Did you get a chance to talk to her her?

629
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:05.119
Yes? I did, yes, And I mentioned about being very

630
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:07.640
very upset that she missed the convention in the fall,

631
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:12.119
and she seems so uh uh kind of terrified a

632
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.480
little bit, but uh so apologetic and stuff. But I said,

633
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.079
I know. I I said that most you would be back,

634
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:20.240
you would definitely be back, and here she was, so

635
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:23.039
I was. It was great to talk to her. I

636
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:24.000
mean I just love her.

637
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:25.960
Oh yeah. Absolutely.

638
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.880
As a reminder celebrities, uh, if you sign up for

00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:32.319
a for a con and then you cancel, Wayne will

640
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:36.359
hold you accountable. He will find you like Liam Neeson

641
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:39.079
he'll get you.

642
00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:42.039
I don't know. We're still looking at Dante. Come on, buddy,

643
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:42.720

Yeah, but he's working on most he is most guests.

647
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:52.200
When they do cancel, they they usually try to make

648
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:53.839
it up and they'll appear at the next one, or

649
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:56.680
at least try to. We're still waiting on Joe to

650
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:59.119
make his appearance, but I'm I am confident that he

651
00:30:59.160 --> 00:30:59.839
will eventually.

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:02.839

because he edited that entire thing, and just I love

665
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:54.359
talking to him. He was telling me all about the

666
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:57.039
Marvel stories, a little bit behind the scenes crap that

667
00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:58.799
was going on back in the eighties. So it was

668
00:31:58.839 --> 00:32:00.799
great listening to history.

669
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:03.519
You know something about Gates pick Fatten because it was

670
00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:06.599
you know, I am as of last year, I'm a

671
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.519
TNG fan thanks to you, you two and Scott Hoffman

672
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:14.319
on a phaser set to stun and uh something about Gates.

673
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.000
I got to add here because as you guys know,

674
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:22.079
I'm typically never tongue tied when we're talking to you know,

675
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:25.400
a Hollywood star or you know someone in the industry.

676
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:29.559
And the great thing about Gates is that she's been

677
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:32.359
spending a lot of her time with a very successful

678
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:36.640
podcast called Investigates yep, where she invites people on the

679
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.039
show and they they have the kind of conversation that

680
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:42.680
you wouldn't expect like her, Like I like the one

681
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:44.200
first one I ever listened to was with her and

682
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.200
aunts and Mount and I think there was there wasn't

683
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:49.720
a whole lot of star trek conversation. It was just

684
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:51.559
about life. It was about their lives and it was

685
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:55.000
it was really fascinating. And the thing about Gates like,

686
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:58.880
so we're talking and you know, I mentioned that we've

687
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.920
got this show and and she she totally throws me

688
00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:04.079
for a loop because she she goes into interview mode

689
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:06.839
and she starts asking me like, well, what what inspired

690
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:07.759
you to start the show?

691
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:07.960
What?

692
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:10.359
Why are you doing this show? And I was just like,

693
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:15.480
I like Star Trek, It's like, I know what to say.

694
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:18.079
I didn't know what to do. She really copy but

695
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:22.480
just a lovely lady, lovely individual. It was great, great

696
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:26.720
to meet her. Now then it's a it's time again.

697
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:27.279
Wayne.

698
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:28.839
I don't know how much you're gonna have to say. Actually,

699
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:29.559
I know you're gonna have a.

700
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:30.079
Lot to say.

701
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:33.400
He is, because you know, even though it's not exactly

702
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:36.799
your jam, you were plenty busy. Can we talk about

703
00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:40.559
what is what has rapidly become maybe our favorite con

704
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:43.279
of the year, and we're talking about Scarefest.

705
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:45.240
It is my favorite convention.

706
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:46.960
Now, this is.

707
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:48.880
Amazing, It really is.

708
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:50.599
It's taking on a life of his own. I know

709
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:54.799
they've been around for quite a while, but man, the

710
00:33:54.799 --> 00:34:00.079
the lines that were there wererazy to get in.

711
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:04.720
I mean, it's they They went all out on this one.

712
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:09.159
They had the forty fifth anniversary a Fantasm happening. Last

713
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:13.000
season we got the fortieth anniversary of Children the Corn happening,

714
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.880
and everyone's there for it.

715
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.639
Yeah, not to mention quite a few people from Scream

716
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:20.199
were there.

717
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:24.199
Oh gosh, yeah, yeah, Dave. Let's let's start off with Fantasm.

718
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:28.480
You know, I've always loved that movie. But getting to

719
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:32.360
meet this cast to see how much they not only

720
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:35.360
love the film that they put out there for everybody

721
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:38.159
to see, but the love they have for their fans,

722
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:43.599
that made me fall more in love with this film.

723
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:48.400
When I originally went there, I wasn't going to get

724
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:51.320
any autographs for Fantasm, you know, not really. I was

725
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.719
going to maybe get a couple of them. But then

726
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:56.519
after meeting them and just seeing how much did they

727
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:59.000
have a passion for that film and their fans, it

728
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.400
really made me want to make sure I got everybody

729
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:04.719
on my eleven x seventeen Phantasm poster, and I'm glad

730
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:08.559
I did. I'm telling you, that panel that they had there.

731
00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:10.000
Probably the best ones I've ever incredible.

732
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:12.440
It is one of the best panels I've ever been to. Yeah,

733
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:16.039
listening to them and just you know, thanking the fans

734
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:20.559
just really really impressed me as a whole. It really did.

735
00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:23.119
How how much of a blast was it to talk

736
00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:24.280
with Don Coscarelli.

737
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:28.199
You know he even he's so fucking picture with the sphere.

738
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:31.119
You know, he made sure you did not walk away

739
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:32.719
until you got your picture with.

740
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:35.920
The Yeah, he was. I I appreciate what he was

741
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.039
doing for the fans because he was like, let's let's

742
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:40.039
do a good one. Now, let's do a fun one,

743
00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:43.559
Let's do a silly one. Yeah, the guy, you know

744
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:46.920
he and uh, didn't he get all excited when you

745
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:48.039
when you mentioned Beast Master?

746
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.239
Yeah, because he doesn't get to talk about that a

747
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:52.840
whole lot, right. I brought my Beast Moinster poster for

748
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:54.960
him to sign because that's one of my favorite fantasy

749
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:58.559
films from the eighties, and he he lit up a

750
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:00.360
little when he saw it, and he immediate he went

751
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:02.519
into let me tell you what it's like working with

752
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:06.960
kids and animals. He just went on talking about his

753
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.800
experience directing The Beastmaster, which I absolutely love to hear.

754
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:13.639
One of his when he was talking about was the ferrets,

755
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:16.800
you know, the struggle was to get them to cooperate

756
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:18.519
in front of the camera. And he was telling me

757
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:20.639
they use like a clicker, Like the one scene where

758
00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:22.480
they're going down the hallway, they're going from door to

759
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.199
door to door, they were using a clicker to get

760
00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:28.760
them to do respond for them in front of the camera.

761
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:29.960
I just thought that was fascinating.

762
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:34.119
I mean, everyone there for Phantasm was just a delight

763
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:39.679
to speak with, to interact with Dave. Obviously, we earlier

764
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:42.280
this year, earlier this season on our show, we had

765
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.639
a We had a great episode with the Lady in

766
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:49.000
Lavender herself, kat Lester Y. You know, we got to

767
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:50.920
talking with her while we were there and she's like, oh,

768
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:52.840
I got to do this show. Let's let's make it happen.

769
00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:56.360
Had a great time talking with her. Listeners go back

770
00:36:56.480 --> 00:37:00.119
to the beginning of this season. Check out Lady in

771
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:03.239
Lavender Cat Lester. It was a great time, great conversation

772
00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:04.920
with her. We had a lot of fun with David

773
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:08.199
and I did. Uh I'll tell you who else was

774
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:10.159
a lot of fun. Oh yeah, because he's a lot

775
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:12.119
He's a lot of fun. Every time we talk with him.

776
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.880
Our buddy Courtney Gaines was there for Children of the Corn.

777
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:22.000
This guy did not stop. The line was just enormous

778
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:23.880
for him. Yep, right, I mean it was.

779
00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:24.239
It was.

780
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:26.280
It was for the for all the casts of Children

781
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:28.400
of the Corn. You guys want to talk about Children

782
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:31.119
of Corn for a little bit, Yeah, sure, Wayne, who

783
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:33.079
you know, Let's start with you, because I know I

784
00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:34.280
know you were talking with everybody.

785
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.159
Oh what what are we talking about?

786
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:41.320
I'm sorry, Wayne, turn off doctor who you're on?

787
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:43.119
You're on the show. You're on the show.

788
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:46.320
Wayne, I'm sorry, what are we talking about?

789
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:47.199
Children of the Corn?

790
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:50.119
Children of the Corn? You spoke with a couple, you know.

791
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:53.000
Oh, I say, don't ask me about the film. I

792
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:54.400
haven't seen it in like forty years.

793
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.639
How about tell us about your conversation with John.

794
00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:07.320
Oh yeah, I got to meet John Franklin. You know,

795
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:09.800
this is a great example of some of the people

796
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:12.239
that you know, I get to talk to them about

797
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:15.960
something different, something that they don't usually talk about during

798
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:19.800
the week. And he had guest starred in an episode

799
00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:24.599
of Star Trek Voiger called Critical Care, and he was

800
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:27.119
just thrilled to talk about Star Trek. It was great.

801
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:30.800
But right next to him, the table next to him

802
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:35.039
signing autographs was John cass Here. He's better known for

803
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:40.000
the crypt Keeper in Tales with Crypt but he also

804
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:45.559
guest starred in the same episode Funny John Franklin, and

805
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:50.079
neither one of them realized it because they never shared

806
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:51.840
any scenes. They had no idea that they were in

807
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:54.519
the same episode. And when I mentioned it, you know,

808
00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:58.760
John Franklin was like, really, are you sure, And I'm like, yeah,

809
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:01.920
I'm absolutely certain, and you know, he looks over and

810
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:06.119
yells at John Cassier and goes, hey, did you know

811
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.599
we were in the same episode. And they're like, at this,

812
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:12.920
we weren't. They're like, yeah, we were in the same episode. Yeah,

813
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:15.480
but they say they never shared any scenes, so you know,

814
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:18.920
they didn't realize it. But talking to both of them

815
00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:20.000
actually was fantastic.

816
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:21.079
Yeah.

817
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:23.800
One of the things that I really loved to finally

818
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:27.599
get to talk to John Franklin about was the story

819
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:29.199
that I told him was when I was a little

820
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.320
kid and I first saw this in the theater, one

821
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:35.519
of my friend's uncle took us to see Children of

822
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:38.360
the Corn and after we got done seeing the film,

823
00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:41.320
this guy took us to a cornfield, backed up into

824
00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:44.519
the cornfield and turned off the car. Of course we're

825
00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:46.679
a little kid, so we're all freaking out about this.

826
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:49.559
It was so much fun to tell John Franklin the story.

827
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.199
He was just laughing and have a good time listening

828
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:53.559
to that story. But I told him, I says, man,

829
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:56.519
I said, you scared the crap out of me when

830
00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:58.000
I was a kid, and he looks at me. Honest, Well,

831
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:02.920
I guess I did my job then, didn't I.

832
00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:05.000

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:07.880
the floor who was also there for children the corn

00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:08.960
I'm talking about John Philbin.

835
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:10.719
Oh yeah, so.

836
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:13.159

00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:44.679
we got from John We are here live at Scarefest

850
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:49.519
in Lexington, Kentucky, where the hot ticket is the fortieth

851
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:53.360
anniversary of Children of the Corn, and we are delighted

852
00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:56.440
to crab a quick few minutes with one of the

853
00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:59.760
stars of the film, John Philbin. John, how are you doing? Then?

854
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:04.360
I'm really really enjoying myself, that's for sure. In Kentucky Scarfest.

855
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:05.800
How are the people treating you this weekend?

856
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:08.960
Everybody's so nice and basically they've just said I was

857
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:11.000
part of their family, which I'm not used to at all.

858
00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:13.440
So now I got this huge family in Kentucky, which

859
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:13.800
I love.

860
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:14.559
I love that.

861
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:15.800
John.

862
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:18.280
I gotta ask you, how does this weekend compare to

863
00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:20.119
your first convention experience?

864
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:25.599
My first convention was I was totally clue as our

865
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:29.440
first experiences are totally clueless as to what was going on.

866
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:31.519
And now I kind of.

867
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:34.599
Know a little bit more about what the whole the

868
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:38.079
beauty of being invited to a horror convention from for

869
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:41.119
an actor is. You know, it's a really Actors are

870
00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:43.320
really grateful they get invited and they get to meet

871
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.519
their fans, and it's because we're all kind of in

872
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:49.519
this together and it's a beautiful holistic. I mean, everybody's

873
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:55.079
working together because we all love horror and the jobs

874
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:58.360
we've done and people that appreciate them because we're fans too,

875
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:02.599
So it's radically different. I was in I think Baltimore somewhere,

876
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:04.079
and I didn't know what I was doing, and I

877
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:05.000
was overwhelmed.

878
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:10.360
John, when did you first realize that Children of the

879
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:12.320
Corn was more than a horror film due to the

880
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:13.719
fandom surrounding it.

881
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:18.079
Yeah, it was probably ten years ago. The American Cinema

882
00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:21.039
Tech held a screening I think in Hollywood at Man's

883
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:24.440
Chinese and I was like, why, okay, you know, I'll go,

884
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:26.119
And there was a line around the block and I

885
00:42:26.280 --> 00:42:28.440
was holy shit. Before I even walked in, I was

886
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:30.960
signing autographs. I'm like, I didn't even had I had

887
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:34.119
forgotten I was an actor because I'd gotten into other things,

888
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:36.280
you know, I was doing other things, and they invited

889
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.400
me and I said, okay, I'll go. I had literally

890
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:40.599
forgotten I was an actor, and I didn't know that

891
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:44.480
anything I had ever done had a fan following.

892
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:46.519
So it blew my mind.

893
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:49.400
And now I've been doing horror conventions, you know, with

894
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:51.760
the Children and the Corn guys for the last two

895
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:54.599
to three years, and it's been a blessing.

896
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:59.000
Now, you played Nathaniel, one of the bank robbing ex

897
00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:02.360
presidents in Point Break. That is true as a California native.

898
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:05.639
Did you grow up surfing? Yes, I am a surfer.

899
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:08.400
I grew up surfing in California, southern California. My dad

900
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:10.760
taught me how to swim, and then I taught myself

901
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:13.760
how to surf. And now I teach surfing, which wasn't

902
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:16.039
around when I was growing up, and it's really cool.

903
00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:17.719
But yeah, I've been surfing all my life.

904
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:22.119
And as I got lucky to be an actor who

905
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.760
got to be in studio surf films, who was a

906
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:27.239
surfer and an actor. Because I was a surfer and

907
00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:28.840
an actor, I got to be in a movie called

908
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:32.519
north Shore where I play a turtle and he surfs pipeline.

909
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:36.119
And that movie changed my life. And it also might.

910
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:38.599
Be the movie that got me Point Break. I'll never know,

911
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:42.320
I'd have to ask Catherine Bigelow. But Point Break was

912
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:44.519
also a fun movie. You know, it didn't change my

913
00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:46.360
life like North Shore's totally affected.

914
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:49.840
You know, it informed my life. It's part of who

915
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:50.199
I am.

916
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:54.000
But Point Break was a great experience, and I'm lifelong

917
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:56.199
friends with the other people that were in my gang.

918
00:43:56.440 --> 00:43:58.760
That's fantastic to hear that safe to assume you were

919
00:43:58.760 --> 00:44:00.760
probably the guy teaching people how to good on the board.

920
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:03.320
Then no, they had a surf instructor. I was just

921
00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:05.159
an actor at that time. I didn't know how to

922
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:08.400
teach surfing. I just noticed that there was a market

923
00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:12.679
for teaching surfing to celebrities so that they could Because

924
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:14.800
I was an actor and I had been in surf films,

925
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:18.920
I knew what parts of surfing an actor could be

926
00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:21.400
in a close up in where he's doing the process

927
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:24.880
of surfing. There's no way anybody can learn how to

928
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:27.360
surf in the time it takes to make a movie.

929
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:28.639
It just can't be done.

930
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.840
But there's certain parts in surfing where you can train

931
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:34.559
an actor to sit on a board, duck, dive, paddle.

932
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:36.920
Those are the only things an actor can learn how

933
00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:38.440
to do and pop up. Those are the only things

934
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:40.480
an actor can learn how to do in the time

935
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:41.920
it takes to learn how to surf. And that's where

936
00:44:41.960 --> 00:44:44.800
I started teaching actors. I started with teaching actors how

937
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:47.280
to serf, like I taught Kate Bosware how to surf,

938
00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:51.280
you know, for Bluebrush, and that became this thing that

939
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:55.679
I got really into in Malibu, teaching, teaching actors and

940
00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:57.360
other people.

941
00:44:57.400 --> 00:44:59.320
I teach anywhere how to surf. Yeah.

942
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:01.239
In fact, when I go home, I've got two surf

943
00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:06.079
lessons scheduled in Malibu Wednesday and Thursday. So it's really

944
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:07.280
been a good part of my life.

945
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:11.039
Now, you left that gang only to settle up with

946
00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:13.760
another one. Riding with the Cowboys and Tombstone.

947
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:14.800
What was that?

948
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:15.920
How was that experience?

949
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:20.480
I can you imagine working with those actors. I was

950
00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:24.880
there from the table read with the original director, Kevin Jare,

951
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:27.639
all the way till the last day of filming where

952
00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:31.280
Kurt Russell with my brother Robert Burr, who played my brother.

953
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:33.840
In the movie, we're going through trailers. Kurt was just

954
00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:36.239
putting stuff in a big plastic bag and Robert's like,

955
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:38.400
what are you doing. He goes, I'm stealing shit the

956
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:39.000
last day.

957
00:45:39.800 --> 00:45:42.599
Because he's so experienced, he understands that when you're on

958
00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:45.239
a movie, you want to get as much prop and

959
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:48.199
shit from that movie as you possibly can because it

960
00:45:48.760 --> 00:45:51.840
might become valuable. And as it turns out, Tombstone was

961
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:54.039
a huge hit. When you make a movie, you never know.

962
00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:56.719
But Kurt had faith in it. And Kurt knows more

963
00:45:56.719 --> 00:45:59.920
about movies than anybody. I think any living actor is

964
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:01.360
doing it since he was a child.

965
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:04.039
The last words Walt Disney said before he died with

966
00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:04.840
Kurt Russell.

967
00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:10.320
So so working with Kurt Russell and you know Powers Booth,

968
00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:14.679
you know Billy, Bob Thornton, Jason Priestley, you know all

969
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:20.440
these actors that were so great, was as good as

970
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:21.719
it gets in movie making.

971
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:21.960
Now.

972
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:24.320
I'm not a cowboy, but I like to pretend. I

973
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:27.000
love to ride horses and I love to shoot guns.

974
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:28.239
So it was super fun.

975
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:30.000
It was great.

976
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:33.239
You know, it's it's it's it's a note. There's a

977
00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:36.199
there's several people in that film that kind of talked

978
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:40.119
tough to uh wide herb h your character, the Mclark,

979
00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:42.440
you're one of the ones that uh that didn't get

980
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:44.719
and he come up and so you got you got

981
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:46.480
one of the best lines. You know, you gotta watch

982
00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:46.800
the movie.

983
00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:48.719
Got a little bit, you got a little bit of

984
00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:51.559
yeah to Kurt Russell and he knocks me out a

985
00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:52.880
little bit of a pistol whip.

986
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.039
Right, I get pistol whip. That was that was White

987
00:46:55.159 --> 00:46:56.840
Urb's thing. He didn't shoot people.

988
00:46:56.880 --> 00:46:59.440
He he buffalo whipped them with the butt of his

989
00:46:59.480 --> 00:47:01.280
gun and knocked can out crack their skulls.

990
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:01.880
Oh man.

991
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:04.320
So you know, I was the guy that showed that

992
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:07.159
that was one of his techniques of law enforcement. But

993
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:10.360
then I get shot murdered in the OK Corral by

994
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:13.519
the villainous Doc Holiday, the villainous.

995
00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:13.679
Doc Isla Day.

996
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:14.199
How about that?

997
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.920
Murdered Yeah, by the by the gang of outlaws that

998
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:21.760
were that were called the the Ert Brothers and their

999
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:25.480
villainous sidekick, Doc Holiday.

1000
00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:26.239
John.

1001
00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:28.840
That's fantastic. Listen. I want to wish you a happy

1002
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:32.239
fortieth anniversary for Children of the Corn next year, though

1003
00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:35.280
next year you've got another big anniversary approaching for the

1004
00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:36.199
Return of Living Dead.

1005
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:38.239
It's right. Can we hope to see you doing conventions

1006
00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:39.880
next year? Yeah, I'm gonna do so.

1007
00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:43.039
This year because of Chris Rowe O, my great manager,

1008
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:45.320
and this great gang of Children in the Corn, we

1009
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:47.239
did like ten conventions.

1010
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:48.880
Those guys went to Europe twice.

1011
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:51.840
I didn't get to go because I'm kind of like Amos,

1012
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:52.559
I have a small part.

1013
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:53.559
I'm not one of the leads.

1014
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:57.079
But next year, in Return of the Living Dead, I

1015
00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:58.519
was number four on the call sheet.

1016
00:47:58.679 --> 00:47:59.599
So we're as.

1017
00:47:59.519 --> 00:48:02.119
Many of this cast has survived. We're gonna do ten

1018
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:05.159
conventions all over the country. I'm even gonna go to

1019
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:07.920
Europe next year. Yet, next year is my year, next

1020
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:08.840

1021
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:11.599

00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:35.719
a lot of fun to talk with. H We are

1033
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:39.239
hoping to get him back, uh later this later this season.

1034
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:44.199
Hope we'll see, We'll see. But uh, who else do

1035
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:46.280
we want to talk about when it comes to scare Fest.

1036
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:50.199
Oh, I got to meet one of my idols and

1037
00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:53.199
one of the very few horror films that I absolutely love.

1038
00:48:53.400 --> 00:48:56.000
And I got to meet Clive Barker and I waited

1039
00:48:56.039 --> 00:48:59.400
in line for a very long time, but to get

1040
00:48:59.400 --> 00:49:04.079
his auto and talk to him about Hell Raiser. He

1041
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:08.840
was Unfortunately, he had laryngitis over the weekend, so he

1042
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:11.840
tried to talk. He you know, they kept telling him,

1043
00:49:11.840 --> 00:49:13.920
don't talk, don't talk, but he wasn't listening to them.

1044
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:17.360
He was going to talk there. But you know, I

1045
00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:19.039
did most of the talking for him. But it was

1046
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:24.119
great meeting him. I never thought ever would meet Clive Barker.

1047
00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:27.079
And it's not just his film work, you know, his books,

1048
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:29.639
his his comic books that he did. He did quite

1049
00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:31.360
a few comic books back in the early nineties. And

1050
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.639
beautiful harm work, unusual artwork, and he was he was

1051
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:38.559
selling his artwork there too, but still beautiful, beautiful work.

1052
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:41.519
And I'm just thrilled to be able to say that

1053
00:49:41.559 --> 00:49:42.679
I've met him.

1054
00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:44.239
They did a heck of a line.

1055
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:47.280
Oh it was worth it, worth it.

1056
00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:52.440
David. I remember walking up to you and I said,

1057
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:55.039
where's I'm looking through the crowd. I don't see the

1058
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:58.800
red the red red ball cap. And I said, David,

1059
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:01.800
where's Wayne? And you said, oh, he's he's he's talking

1060
00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:05.199
to Clive Barker and my first I was like, no, really,

1061
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:08.079
where is he? I know he's talking to Clive Barker.

1062
00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:09.039
I'm like, Clive Barker.

1063
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:13.320
My whole thought is Clive Barker never did Doctor Who

1064
00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:16.400
star Trek. Why is Wayne talking to Clive Barker? Wayne?

1065
00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:18.920
You know, and you just mentioned it when you just said,

1066
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:22.679
you know, hell Raiser, Like, what's your relationship with Clive Barker,

1067
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:25.960
because like, you're not the horror guy. Is no Barker

1068
00:50:26.039 --> 00:50:26.480
the exception.

1069
00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:31.480
He is one of the exceptions. You know, he's He's

1070
00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:33.679
got a great career. But I just I love that film.

1071
00:50:33.760 --> 00:50:36.559
I I remember, oh gosh, I can't remember how old

1072
00:50:36.599 --> 00:50:37.880
I was when I went and saw that. I saw

1073
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:40.239
that in theaters. I don't think I was supposed to

1074
00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:48.639
see it in theaters. This blows my They let things slide,

1075
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:51.360
they did, Yeah, they let things slide in this line

1076
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:54.800
of theaters. But I love the film, and you know,

1077
00:50:54.880 --> 00:50:57.079
I I've over the years, I every time I come

1078
00:50:57.119 --> 00:50:59.599
on television, I watched it and I own like three

1079
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:02.960
different of it. It's just you know, plus you know,

1080
00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:04.960
like I said, I I loved his when you know,

1081
00:51:05.159 --> 00:51:07.599
I love that work. I knew his name. So when

1082
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:10.639
he started doing comic books. I collected those and I

1083
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:11.960
just you know, I love his work.

1084
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:13.199
Are you telling me?

1085
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:13.639
Wait?

1086
00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:15.519
Are you telling me that if we do a Clive

1087
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:19.639
Barker episode on Hell Razor, like you you're in, You're

1088
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:20.360
gonna gosh.

1089
00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:22.360
Yeah, I could talk a lot about It's one of

1090
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:25.320
the very very few films horror films that I could

1091
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:27.920
I could really talk about to mean that, and you know,

1092
00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:30.400
it didn't scare me. I mean, it's it's not like

1093
00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:32.880
it scared me. I just think it's a great, great film.

1094
00:51:33.119 --> 00:51:35.679
David put that on the schedule. Please right now, I

1095
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:37.760
would have talked to Wayne about Hell Racer.

1096
00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:40.480
I wish I wish our listeners could see the shocked

1097
00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:43.760
look on your face just because it was priceless.

1098
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:47.000
Well, you know, I don't care if you're talking about

1099
00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:52.199
you know, I pick any celebrity, right, They don't have

1100
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:55.159
to be an actor, you know. You know, if if

1101
00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:58.159
Rick Flair, Mike Tyson's there and Wayne's in line, I'm

1102
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:00.519
just going to assume that they did something star Trek

1103
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:03.039
or doctor who you know, and he's not He's not

1104
00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:06.559
in line to talk about their their other stuff. And

1105
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:10.559
here Wayne's talking to Clive Barker about Clyde Barker stuff

1106
00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:14.559
and not you know, I just it just it stuns me, really.

1107
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:16.519
And I want them to get the rest of the cast,

1108
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:19.920
especially the two main stars because you know, not only

1109
00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:22.159
do I left the Hell Razor, but one was on

1110
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:24.159
Star Trek the other one was on Doctor Who. So

1111
00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:27.760
there was Ashley Lawrence. Was she on either one of

1112
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:30.159
those shows? No? She I don't think she was in

1113
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:30.880
any of those shows.

1114
00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:32.840
And Dave, I've never seen her as one of the

1115
00:52:32.840 --> 00:52:34.920
final girls at any of these cons, Like.

1116
00:52:35.320 --> 00:52:36.159
I've not seen her.

1117
00:52:36.199 --> 00:52:38.320
I don't know. Doug Bradley though, wasn't he.

1118
00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:39.880
Doug Bradley's been there.

1119
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:43.199
Yeah, we've know he was on with the Doctor Who

1120
00:52:43.239 --> 00:52:45.599
was Star Trek Wayne, Well he did, he did one

1121
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:47.480
of the Doctor audios. That's what it works.

1122
00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:52.039
Yeah, Okay, lots to talk about Scarefest. I know we're

1123
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:54.000
excited to go back this season.

1124
00:52:55.320 --> 00:52:55.679
Very much.

1125
00:52:55.719 --> 00:52:59.239
So yeah, well they're already they are already shaping up

1126
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:01.119
an amazing line up.

1127
00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:04.760
So it's gonna be hard to top last year because

1128
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:07.159
that was amazing, especially with all the the Freddy's are

1129
00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:10.559
not seeing up Freddy's Jason's now are there this year

1130
00:53:10.679 --> 00:53:11.599
is the Freddy.

1131
00:53:11.679 --> 00:53:16.360
Yes, Dave, like Dave, you and I are huge Friday

1132
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:20.760
thirteenth fans. We are, and we're standing next to was

1133
00:53:20.760 --> 00:53:24.800
it six of them, of the six actors to play

1134
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:25.679
Jason Vorhees?

1135
00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:27.719
Yeah, I don't know.

1136
00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:29.159
I don't know how you keep all of them in

1137
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:36.119
the same room, because like Ari was just very very

1138
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:38.000
very chatty, very talkative.

1139
00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:39.280
Yeah, you know.

1140
00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:43.280
But talkative. Tom was talking.

1141
00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:44.960
Yeah, oh yeah.

1142
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:47.639
Can we talk about that for a second, Dave, We're

1143
00:53:47.719 --> 00:53:52.519
we're waiting in line, and again you've got six Jason's

1144
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:57.159
it's Wayne's fault. Yeah, And we understand, like sometimes there's

1145
00:53:57.159 --> 00:53:59.760
you're gonna wait in line, right, there's gonna be delays

1146
00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:02.360
because as they're doing there, maybe they're at a panel,

1147
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:06.119
or maybe they're signing autographs, you know. So the photo

1148
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:08.039
ops are kind of like a thing where it's like, hey,

1149
00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:09.960
get there when they tell you to be there, and

1150
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:11.960
it moves. It typically moves very fast.

1151
00:54:12.119 --> 00:54:13.039
It does very fast.

1152
00:54:13.079 --> 00:54:14.800
Sometimes you got to wait a couple of minutes. So

1153
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:17.960
sometimes maybe the celebrity needs to take a quick lunch

1154
00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:22.159
break or you know whatever. We were waiting and they

1155
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:26.679
were waiting thirty minutes later, we're still waiting on Tom Morga.

1156
00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:29.440
You know, he played he played he played Jason in

1157
00:54:29.639 --> 00:54:33.239
Friday thirteenth at the New Beginning. H Finally they're like, hey, listen,

1158
00:54:34.119 --> 00:54:37.280
if you want to wait for Tom Morgan to show up,

1159
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:39.480
you can, or you can take a photo right now

1160
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:41.199
without him and we'll discount it.

1161
00:54:41.679 --> 00:54:43.440
No, we're moved.

1162
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:47.000
We're all like, we want all the Jason's. Yeah, come

1163
00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:52.519
to find out, he's busy talking to Wayne lynn Is

1164
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:54.280
holding up the whole damn production.

1165
00:54:54.719 --> 00:54:58.760
I didn't know. I mean they said I could get

1166
00:54:58.800 --> 00:55:01.079
a quick autograph from him before he left. So I

1167
00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:03.320
walk up there with my Star Trek poster. Now, I

1168
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:05.079
don't know if many of you know that Tom Morgan

1169
00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:07.719
was like one of the main stuntman on Star Trek

1170
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:10.000
for like thirty years. I mean he was. He was

1171
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:13.239
Leonard Nimoy's stunt double in motion picture. He did the films,

1172
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:15.320
he did an ex generation D Space nine Voyager. I mean,

1173
00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:18.400
he's he played over hundreds of different characters, and so

1174
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:20.440
I had to get his autograph on my poster, and

1175
00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:23.239
when he saw it, he just started telling me all

1176
00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:27.760
about it. And then I got a couple of selfies

1177
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:30.719
with him. But then the photo albums came out. He

1178
00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:34.119
had these like three huge photo albums of pictures just

1179
00:55:34.119 --> 00:55:36.920
from Star Trek. He must have had him stashed underneath

1180
00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:39.400
the table just in case someone mentioned Star Trek or something.

1181
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:42.800
And here I come, and he's plowing me every one

1182
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:45.599
of these pictures. And you know, he say, oh, this

1183
00:55:45.639 --> 00:55:47.280
is from this up you remember this, and I mean

1184
00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:49.719
all the way from Motion Picture, all through Enterprise. We

1185
00:55:49.719 --> 00:55:52.199
were going through this, and you know, twenty twenty five

1186
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:55.239
minutes later, you know that someone finally comes up and says,

1187
00:55:55.280 --> 00:55:58.239
you know, you need to go real quick, and well,

1188
00:55:58.320 --> 00:55:59.719
you know, we haven't taken the selfie yet. So we

1189
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:02.599
took another selfie and and then he left. And then

1190
00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:04.960
I text YouTube guys to tell you, oh my god,

1191
00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:07.480
I had a great experience with with Tom Morgan. And

1192
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:09.679
you're like, so that's where he is.

1193
00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:17.599
Yeah, we're I mean, this guy probably signs thousands of

1194
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:22.519
hockey masks at these conventions and they're like, hey, you

1195
00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:25.000
got a photo up. Everyone's waiting, okay, and then Wayne

1196
00:56:25.039 --> 00:56:27.320
comes up. He says, ah, one one more mask, one more,

1197
00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:30.760
one more eight by ten, Waite says, I'm here for

1198
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:34.920
Trek and this guy pulls out a photo album from

1199
00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:37.519
behind that blows the dust off and says, oh, sit down,

1200
00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:39.960
we're gonna talk conversation.

1201
00:56:40.519 --> 00:56:42.519
I couldn't pass that up. I mean, all these photos,

1202
00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:45.360
all these behind the scenes photos that were you know, personal,

1203
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:47.719
no one's else has probably seen them, you know, starting

1204
00:56:47.840 --> 00:56:50.239
just him and his close friends and stuff.

1205
00:56:50.559 --> 00:56:53.159
That was amazing. You did the correct thing. You did

1206
00:56:53.199 --> 00:56:53.800
the correct thing.

1207
00:56:53.960 --> 00:56:58.920
So to everyone listening that happened to be in that

1208
00:56:59.360 --> 00:57:01.880
very low on line for the Jason photo op with

1209
00:57:01.960 --> 00:57:04.880
David and I, A film by podcast would like to

1210
00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:09.639
extend its deepest apologies on Wayne. Why it's behalf We

1211
00:57:10.280 --> 00:57:13.400
hope it won't happen at a future con, right, you

1212
00:57:13.480 --> 00:57:13.960
never know what.

1213
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:15.920
There's a good Star Trek guest there.

1214
00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:22.000
You guys you want to move back to motor City

1215
00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:22.519
Comic Con?

1216
00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:25.280
Yes, sure, Yeah, pretty big guest there.

1217
00:57:25.719 --> 00:57:27.920
M hm, let's talk about it, Wayne.

1218
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:32.480
Oh, there was quite a few on there. I think

1219
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:35.679
the main guest which we didn't get autographs for, we

1220
00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:39.360
got our photo taken with him, was Robert Robert England. Yeah,

1221
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:44.320
Freddy Krueger. Oh, I was gonna say, you know, but

1222
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:49.280
did he do something else? Okay, man.

1223
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:53.199
I mean, first off, I mean, you guys have been

1224
00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:55.599
in the con business a lot longer than I have,

1225
00:57:55.960 --> 00:58:00.000
you know, but in the several years I've been going

1226
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:03.920
with you guys, I don't think I've ever seen a

1227
00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:09.000
larger production to meet, greet, or or get a sign

1228
00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:11.519
signing with someone then than Robert England.

1229
00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:13.239
I mean I gave I gave up because I get't

1230
00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:14.599
give his autograph his line was too long.

1231
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:19.239
Yeah, I mean there are some guests where in order

1232
00:58:19.280 --> 00:58:21.119
to get their autograph you really need to be there

1233
00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:23.599
the whole weekend, and we were just there on Sunday,

1234
00:58:23.760 --> 00:58:26.960
so yeah, they were just pretty much cutting the line off.

1235
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:29.039
It was really difficult if you were there just one day.

1236
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:29.280
To get it.

1237
00:58:29.639 --> 00:58:31.840
And apparently it's like this all the time for Robert England.

1238
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:33.360
So if you ever go to a convention that Robert

1239
00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:35.719
Englands n't hint, hint, we're gonna be talking about one

1240
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:40.800
a little bit. Get there early long time.

1241
00:58:41.480 --> 00:58:43.960
See, we're getting a second chance. So we're hoping keeping

1242
00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:45.840
our fingers crossed, you know, that we get it this time.

1243
00:58:46.719 --> 00:58:48.679
It was it was pretty cool to stand next to

1244
00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:51.320
the man He's wearing the glove, which I didn't expect

1245
00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:52.480
that was that was.

1246
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:56.360
A bonus, didn't he stand he he he kind.

1247
00:58:56.280 --> 00:58:58.960
Of elbowed me, kind of gave me an elbow to

1248
00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:00.679
the ribs. He was trying had to. You know, we're

1249
00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:03.079
all squeezing into the photo and he just kind of

1250
00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:05.079
but you know, if you look at the photo on

1251
00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:07.960
our Facebook page, you can see I'm more out out

1252
00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:10.360
of the right to the far left of the photo

1253
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:12.880
because you know, he kind of kind of made his

1254
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:15.320
way in kind of box me out. But you know

1255
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:20.000
what I'm not. I'm not gonna, you know, have words

1256
00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:20.679
with Freddy Krueger.

1257
00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:21.679
That's just no, none at all.

1258
00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:22.239
No.

1259
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:25.239
No, he was giving me the bear hug with the

1260
00:59:25.639 --> 00:59:26.440
right there, oh the.

1261
00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:27.519
Claw right around your neck there.

1262
00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:27.719
Man.

1263
00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:30.159
Oh yeah, Like I said, it was a great photo.

1264
00:59:30.599 --> 00:59:32.960
I love that it was. It's one of my favorites.

1265
00:59:33.119 --> 00:59:39.480
Yeah, let's talk about another favorite for you, Dave. You

1266
00:59:39.519 --> 00:59:42.360
had a pretty nice conversation with Tom Wilson. Yeah.

1267
00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:43.960
I mean, this is I know he does a lot

1268
00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:46.320
of conventions, but this is my first time going to

1269
00:59:46.320 --> 00:59:49.079
one where he was at little history with him. I

1270
00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:52.400
was in Andersonville with him back in ninety four, so

1271
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:54.800
I was excited to meet Tom Wilson because I wanted

1272
00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:57.559
him to sign my production book that they gave all

1273
00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:00.440
to the cast and crew. So I was waiting in

1274
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:02.280
his line. You know, he went behind the table and

1275
01:00:03.119 --> 01:00:06.440
was you know, motioning people on. Everybody's there, clearly most

1276
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:09.039
likely getting back to the future autographs right getting biff

1277
01:00:09.119 --> 01:00:12.800
and he signs them so much. So I pulled my

1278
01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:15.039
the guy who I paid to get my autograph, and

1279
01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:16.960
he goes, go ahead and get it out. I pulled

1280
01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:18.719
it out, and as soon as I pulled it out,

1281
01:00:18.719 --> 01:00:23.239
Tom Wilson saw it and like his eyes lit up

1282
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:28.159
in excitement to see that Andersonville book because he clearly

1283
01:00:28.199 --> 01:00:30.280
doesn't get to sign a lot of that stuff, I'm sure,

1284
01:00:31.079 --> 01:00:32.559
and getting to sit and I know he had a

1285
01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:34.239
really good experience because I think he's had done a

1286
01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:38.599
couple of podcasts on his experience with Andersonville, and he's mentioned,

1287
01:00:38.639 --> 01:00:41.719
you know, it's it's nice to talk about that experience.

1288
01:00:41.719 --> 01:00:43.800
He had a good time, apparently, and it was so

1289
01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:45.559
nice just to talk to him, and I had, you know,

1290
01:00:45.639 --> 01:00:47.679
Wayne's talking about a photo album that Tom was showing.

1291
01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:49.719
I brought a photo album of all behind the scenes

1292
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:54.280
of Andersonville. That I pulled out the show album and

1293
01:00:54.519 --> 01:00:56.159
Tom was loving. I mean, he was going through you know,

1294
01:00:56.199 --> 01:00:58.000
he had to go quickly because he had a long line,

1295
01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:00.480
but you know he was pointing out people, Oh my god,

1296
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:02.199
yeah here, and he even looked at me, goes man,

1297
01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:05.199
nice collection, and I'm like, you know, thanks, But it

1298
01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:10.440
was just nice to see his reaction on Andersonville. Good experience.

1299
01:01:10.519 --> 01:01:13.760
Tom was awesome, very nice. Jeff, you had a little

1300
01:01:13.760 --> 01:01:17.280
bit different experience with him.

1301
01:01:17.719 --> 01:01:20.320
Well, I mean, listen, I had a great experience with Tom.

1302
01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:23.599
Tom Wilson, he is he this is a guy that

1303
01:01:23.639 --> 01:01:26.199
knows how to work the crowd. Yes, when you're waiting

1304
01:01:26.199 --> 01:01:29.519
for him, he was a lot of fun. I don't

1305
01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:32.360
know that he was as happy to see me as

1306
01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:36.880
he was you because I had a different agenda, you know.

1307
01:01:36.920 --> 01:01:39.119
And again, you know, you're not there to get back

1308
01:01:39.159 --> 01:01:41.000
to the future stuff. I'm not there to get back

1309
01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:41.800
to the future stuff.

1310
01:01:41.920 --> 01:01:42.119
You know.

1311
01:01:42.199 --> 01:01:46.159
He's even made a song about people, you know, hounding

1312
01:01:46.199 --> 01:01:47.880
him about back to the future, you know, the quid

1313
01:01:47.880 --> 01:01:48.880
asking me the questions.

1314
01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:49.639
Yep.

1315
01:01:50.079 --> 01:01:51.639
And I was like, oh, he's gonna be so happy

1316
01:01:51.679 --> 01:01:53.559
to to not talk back to the future. Well, you

1317
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:57.639
look at his table, right, and if there's twenty eight

1318
01:01:57.639 --> 01:02:01.039
by ten's there nineteen of them are back to the

1319
01:02:01.039 --> 01:02:05.000
future yep, and then there's one one. Uh that's basically

1320
01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:06.840
it's like the poster from April Fool's Day he was

1321
01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:10.280
in ninety eighty six is April Fool's Day. And he's

1322
01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:13.719
awesome in it, by the way. So he's like hey,

1323
01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:17.639
and I'm like, hey, where's all the Let's Get Harry merchandise?

1324
01:02:17.719 --> 01:02:25.239
And his smile just gone raised me gone, like didn't

1325
01:02:25.239 --> 01:02:27.119
you know, like oh, maybe he didn't have a good

1326
01:02:27.159 --> 01:02:31.079
time on Let's Get Harry, which again another eighty six film.

1327
01:02:31.360 --> 01:02:33.280
I love it. It's awesome. We covered it on our

1328
01:02:33.320 --> 01:02:36.800
Patreon and I'm like, yeah, man, and you know, so

1329
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:39.119

1337
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:08.639
making this guy angry every every second I'm standing here, like,

1338
01:03:08.760 --> 01:03:11.920
where's Dave. Dave's like, Dave is becoming the Homer Simpson

1340
01:03:17.239 --> 01:03:18.920
take how about how about a fun photo. Let's do

1341
01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:21.519
let's do a clowning shot. You know, let's kind of

1342
01:03:21.639 --> 01:03:24.719
you know, remake the the shot where him and Marty

1343
01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:27.320
about to fight and the you know, the the soda shop.

1344
01:03:28.119 --> 01:03:31.719
He goes, no, I'm not doing that, Like, holy shit,

1345
01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:33.719
I gotta get out of here. I got to hit

1346
01:03:33.760 --> 01:03:36.639
the you know, and again a consumant, you know. You know,

1347
01:03:36.719 --> 01:03:40.599
he's definitely professional. Great photo, me and him sitting there

1348
01:03:41.400 --> 01:03:43.960
and as you can see, like, I mean, I'm you know,

1349
01:03:44.280 --> 01:03:46.920
I'm not the littlest guy, but I look at next

1350
01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:50.000
to him. Uh yeah, I don't know. I don't know

1351
01:03:50.039 --> 01:03:52.519
if he you know, if he sees me coming at

1352
01:03:52.639 --> 01:03:54.519
a later con, he's probably just gonna say, you know,

1353
01:03:54.599 --> 01:03:58.079
get get that guy out of here. Yeah, I know

1354
01:03:58.159 --> 01:04:01.559
we are going to one that he's I might steer

1355
01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:03.840
clear of him, or maybe maybe I'll bring my own

1356
01:04:03.960 --> 01:04:08.880
Let's get Harry. Let's see, let's see which way I go,

1357
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:09.880
I don't know yet, I don't.

1358
01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:11.760
I'll make sure Wayne goes with you in line this time.

1359
01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:12.239
Not maybe.

1360
01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:16.320
Well, let's see. That's the thing. You know, Tom Wilson

1361
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:19.360
is probably gonna look up to Wayne, so you know, wait, wait,

1362
01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:22.920
it'll be my muscle. It'll be fun. We will we

1363
01:04:22.960 --> 01:04:24.880
will talk about let's get Harry. If Wayne White is

1364
01:04:24.920 --> 01:04:25.119
with me?

1365
01:04:28.719 --> 01:04:29.000
All right?

1366
01:04:29.039 --> 01:04:29.360
Who else?

1367
01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:29.679
Who else?

1368
01:04:29.719 --> 01:04:32.119
At MotorCity Comic connor are we we ready to move on?

1369
01:04:32.719 --> 01:04:36.079
Well? I mentioned John Reyes Davies earlier. I got another

1370
01:04:36.159 --> 01:04:39.880
experience with him here because I got the solid autograph.

1371
01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:43.880
I obviously wanted Lord of the Rings autograph this time around.

1372
01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:46.400
But again I want to talk about how friendly is

1373
01:04:46.480 --> 01:04:50.760
with with his fans watching him. There was a guy

1374
01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:53.599
and his son were in front of me and we

1375
01:04:53.639 --> 01:04:55.159
had to wait a little bit. I don't remember where

1376
01:04:55.159 --> 01:04:57.119
he was, but he was doing something. So we waited

1377
01:04:57.119 --> 01:05:00.039
a little bit and it was cool, no problem. And

1378
01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:02.199
as we're waiting, we were having conversations with you know,

1379
01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:05.039
I guess his agent and stuff like that, and they

1380
01:05:05.079 --> 01:05:06.800
were talking to us. But when he did show up,

1381
01:05:07.239 --> 01:05:10.079
so this guy and his son, who's dresses Indiana Jones,

1382
01:05:11.800 --> 01:05:14.360
saw John walks up and you know it, starts talking

1383
01:05:14.360 --> 01:05:17.079
to him, big smile on his face, and he sees

1384
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:19.840
that the kid dresses Indiana Jones and they wanted to

1385
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:23.039
get a photo with him, and the father was like no, no, no,

1386
01:05:22.960 --> 01:05:24.320
it's just you and him, and they're like, no, get

1387
01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:26.280
in here, get in here, and he gets the father

1388
01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:28.840
to come with them as well, so they get a

1389
01:05:28.920 --> 01:05:32.440
nice three shot. But it was fun watching him making

1390
01:05:32.480 --> 01:05:34.119
sure that the kid was having a good time. He

1391
01:05:34.119 --> 01:05:36.519
would reach around and like poke the kid, making him

1392
01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:39.280
smile and laugh, and it was just so nice to

1393
01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:42.920
see that interaction with John and his fans, and it

1394
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:46.679
just made me appreciate him so much more as an

1395
01:05:46.719 --> 01:05:49.760
actor and everything he does, you know, because of seeing

1396
01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:51.679
what he does and how much he appreciates us. So

1397
01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:53.639
great experience with him.

1398
01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:57.000
I think the next time we see him, I gotta

1399
01:05:57.039 --> 01:05:57.719
talk to him.

1400
01:05:58.039 --> 01:06:00.280
You sure, yeah, yeah.

1401
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:04.039
Yeah, yeah, you know. There was There's so many great

1402
01:06:04.079 --> 01:06:08.159
guests there. There were, you know, George t Kay was there,

1403
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:14.159
the third of the final living Original Star Trek crew

1404
01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:17.000
members or casts that I got to meet. But I

1405
01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:20.679
think the thrill of the convention was meeting a comedy

1406
01:06:20.760 --> 01:06:23.400
legend himself. John Cleese. I had been wanting to get

1407
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:27.039
his autographed for so long. You know, the guy's done,

1408
01:06:27.480 --> 01:06:30.400
not Monty Python and Fawlty Towers and all the films

1409
01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:33.599
and stuff that he's done. But in nineteen seventy nine

1410
01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:37.360
he made a very brief, fleeting appearance on an episode

1411
01:06:37.400 --> 01:06:39.000
of Doctor Who, and I had to get his name

1412
01:06:39.039 --> 01:06:41.960
on my poster, probably one of the only person the

1413
01:06:42.079 --> 01:06:46.519
entire weekend that asked him for a doctor autograph that

1414
01:06:46.639 --> 01:06:48.199
it was with me when I got the autograph. It

1415
01:06:48.239 --> 01:06:52.639
was an incredible pleasure to finally meet him. It was

1416
01:06:53.719 --> 01:06:54.320
just amazing.

1417
01:06:54.559 --> 01:06:56.760
It was it was fun. Wayne. I was asking he

1418
01:06:56.760 --> 01:06:58.199
asked me. He goes, how you doing. I'm like, I'm

1419
01:06:58.199 --> 01:07:00.880
doing pretty good. How about your How about yourself? He goes, I'm.

1420
01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:10.880
Old, Yeah, Still he does, he does, yeah, And I'm

1421
01:07:10.920 --> 01:07:14.639
glad we got his autograph because unfortunately he canceled Galaxy

1422
01:07:14.719 --> 01:07:19.360
CON's appearance, and you know, we could have waited to

1423
01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:21.360
get his But you know, Wayne, you had a chance

1424
01:07:21.400 --> 01:07:22.800
to meet him a while a long time ago, and

1425
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:23.239
you didn't.

1426
01:07:23.400 --> 01:07:26.159
You didn't get the opportunity to do it. So I

1427
01:07:26.239 --> 01:07:27.960
knew there's no way we're missing out on this and

1428
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:30.039
I'm glad that we went ahead and caught his autograph here.

1429
01:07:30.159 --> 01:07:31.679
Yeah, I wasn't gonna take the chance. I was going

1430
01:07:31.719 --> 01:07:33.320
to get it right then. Where when when I had

1431
01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:33.760
the chance?

1432
01:07:35.039 --> 01:07:41.000
You know you mentioned Galaxy Con This one again special

1433
01:07:41.000 --> 01:07:43.920
for me. But before we get before I get to that,

1434
01:07:44.159 --> 01:07:46.679
I'd love to hear because you know, we we went

1435
01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:53.960
up there and you guys met a music icon, right.

1436
01:07:54.840 --> 01:07:58.840
Oh yeah, you.

1437
01:07:58.440 --> 01:07:59.840
Couldn't talk about this artist.

1438
01:08:00.639 --> 01:08:02.519
Yeah, you couldn't grow up in the eighties without knowing

1439
01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:07.079
this guy, weird Al Yankovic. I I had to get

1440
01:08:07.079 --> 01:08:10.480
his autograph. I mean, well, you know, as I said

1441
01:08:10.800 --> 01:08:13.880
with earlier the podcast that I got Judd Nelson's on

1442
01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:17.079
my Transformers poster, well I had to get weird Al's well.

1443
01:08:18.039 --> 01:08:20.760
And it was great. We waited in line, David was

1444
01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:24.319
with me, We got selfiets together with him. It was

1445
01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:27.000
it was great meeting him. And you know, like I said,

1446
01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:28.680
you couldn't grow up in the eighties without you know,

1447
01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:33.079
hearing weird Al's music on the radio. Loved it, loved

1448
01:08:33.079 --> 01:08:36.760
his music. I'm so glad that he was there, and

1449
01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:38.520
he's coming again this year too for yeah.

1450
01:08:39.399 --> 01:08:42.439
Ye, now he's another one. I'm guessing he's probably signing

1451
01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:45.600
a lot of CDs or albums or eight by tens. Yeah,

1452
01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:48.680
when when you put the Transformers poster in front of him,

1453
01:08:48.680 --> 01:08:50.199
what's what's his reaction to something like that.

1454
01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:52.680
I think he signs a lot of Transformers. I mean,

1455
01:08:52.840 --> 01:08:56.239
he wasn't surprised. Okay, he wasn't surprised. I wish I

1456
01:08:56.279 --> 01:08:59.199
would have brought I wish I would have brought my CD.

1457
01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:01.920
I didn't think about it at the time. And since

1458
01:09:02.000 --> 01:09:04.199
we if we get to get to go to Galaxy

1459
01:09:04.239 --> 01:09:06.119
Con this year, I'm going to get his autograph on

1460
01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:06.960
the CD itself.

1461
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:07.720
Good I do.

1462
01:09:08.640 --> 01:09:11.319
I'll tell you what made me real happy. You know,

1463
01:09:11.359 --> 01:09:14.600
we we've talked about directors, We've talked about celebrities, I

1464
01:09:14.640 --> 01:09:19.960
mean a movie stars, television stars. These conventions also give

1465
01:09:19.960 --> 01:09:22.479
you the opportunity to talk to with some of the

1466
01:09:22.479 --> 01:09:24.800
the legends from professional wrestling.

1467
01:09:25.319 --> 01:09:27.359
Oh yeah, I was.

1468
01:09:27.840 --> 01:09:29.880
Like two years ago I had the opportunity to meet

1469
01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:32.239
Rick Flair, my you know, one of my all time favorites.

1470
01:09:33.199 --> 01:09:35.000
As you guys know, I'm a big fan of the

1471
01:09:35.000 --> 01:09:40.840
Four Horsemen. So I'll tell you right now, I I

1472
01:09:40.920 --> 01:09:43.640
was happy to drive up there to meet Arn Anderson,

1473
01:09:44.039 --> 01:09:48.800
who was there signing autographs, taking photos, talking to fans,

1474
01:09:49.560 --> 01:09:51.159
and as one of those rare opportunities, like you know,

1475
01:09:51.239 --> 01:09:55.760
sometimes whether it's a Friday, Saturday, sometimes Sunday, it's all

1476
01:09:55.760 --> 01:09:58.800
about timing, right, Guys. You get to someone's table, there

1477
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:01.199
might be five people there, there might be five hundred

1478
01:10:01.199 --> 01:10:05.880
people there. This was the rare occasion where Sunday morning

1479
01:10:06.399 --> 01:10:10.000
CON's just starting, no one is waiting to talk to Arn.

1480
01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:12.399
I walked right up to him. I'm wearing my four

1481
01:10:12.439 --> 01:10:15.159
Horseman T shirt. He's got a big grin on his face.

1482
01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:17.560
He's like, that's the best dress man I've seen all weekend.

1483
01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:21.680
Come over here, brother. So you know, for me, I'm

1484
01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:26.640
ten years old again. And we're talking. You know, he's

1485
01:10:26.640 --> 01:10:28.720
talking about his life in the ring, outside the ring.

1486
01:10:29.880 --> 01:10:31.079
You know. I'm like, hey, I'd love to get a

1487
01:10:31.079 --> 01:10:35.119
photo with you. He's got his world television title sitting

1488
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:38.520
on the table next to him, and I saw a

1489
01:10:38.560 --> 01:10:41.159
photo where he's got it on his shoulder. I said, hey,

1490
01:10:41.159 --> 01:10:43.760
I'd love to get a photo. I'd love to get

1491
01:10:43.800 --> 01:10:46.239
that autographed. He's like, all right, well let's take a photo.

1492
01:10:47.159 --> 01:10:49.560
And he grabs a title and he says, ah, you

1493
01:10:49.600 --> 01:10:52.239
know this ain't right. I think you should hold it.

1494
01:10:52.399 --> 01:10:55.800
So he puts his world title on my shoulder for

1495
01:10:55.960 --> 01:10:58.760
this photo op. And again I'm losing my mind because

1496
01:10:58.840 --> 01:11:02.600
of course this is Arn Anderson, of the Four Horsemen

1497
01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:05.760
of the brain Busters, and I just can't believe that

1498
01:11:06.279 --> 01:11:08.680
I'm holding his world title belt. He's got his arm

1499
01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:12.079
around me and we're taking a photo with the four Horsemen,

1500
01:11:12.640 --> 01:11:15.960
you know, hand gesture. Just an amazing moment for me.

1501
01:11:16.079 --> 01:11:19.359
I'll never forget that one. So I know, I know

1502
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:21.279
Galaxy Khan was like, are we gonna go? We're not

1503
01:11:21.319 --> 01:11:23.880
gonna go. I'm so happy to both of you for

1504
01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:26.359
saying yep, we're definitely going, because that was my opportunity

1505
01:11:26.880 --> 01:11:29.800
of a lifetime to meet, you know, another one of

1506
01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:30.399
the four Horsemen.

1507
01:11:30.560 --> 01:11:33.279
So I just remember now I am too, But I

1508
01:11:33.319 --> 01:11:36.479
just remember when you came to us, because we weren't

1509
01:11:36.520 --> 01:11:37.920
with you. We were doing I think we were getting

1510
01:11:37.920 --> 01:11:42.479
autographed somewhere else. And I remember your face when you

1511
01:11:42.520 --> 01:11:45.239
came to us after that experience. I mean it literally

1512
01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:47.960
looked like you were a ten year old old against Yeah,

1513
01:11:48.159 --> 01:11:50.600
just the excitement you saw in your face and then

1514
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:52.760
you just excited to tell us what had happened. It

1515
01:11:52.800 --> 01:11:56.079
was just very impressive. Just another example of how amazing

1516
01:11:56.239 --> 01:11:59.840
is at these conventions to meet these guests and experience them.

1517
01:12:00.039 --> 01:12:04.560
You know, it's amazing, it really is. Galaxy con this

1518
01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:06.520
year was a little bit different from me because I

1519
01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:10.560
got to bring to my great nephews with us, and

1520
01:12:11.359 --> 01:12:14.039
Owen who had been to Horrorhound with us. Jeff, he

1521
01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:17.039
was with us, you know when we met Matthew Lillard,

1522
01:12:17.079 --> 01:12:19.600
the older his older brother Aiden. This was his very

1523
01:12:19.640 --> 01:12:23.720
first comic book experience, comic book convention experience, and so

1524
01:12:23.840 --> 01:12:25.399
this is his first time getting to see what it

1525
01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:28.680
looks like in person, and so I didn't know how

1526
01:12:28.720 --> 01:12:30.680
it was going to go. But I'm telling you, those

1527
01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:33.359
two had the time of their lives. And I'm so

1528
01:12:33.439 --> 01:12:35.640
glad they got the experience. And I think you guys

1529
01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:38.920
too the convent to help them get to experience this.

1530
01:12:39.600 --> 01:12:42.520
And I'm telling you, I mean when they got home,

1531
01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:44.239
they were already missing it. You guys know what it's

1532
01:12:44.279 --> 01:12:46.800
like when the convention's over, you're already missing it. Yeah,

1533
01:12:47.119 --> 01:12:49.199
they were already texting me and saying, man, I want

1534
01:12:49.239 --> 01:12:51.079
to do another one. I can't wait till we go again.

1535
01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:53.319
And it was just so nice to see how much

1536
01:12:53.359 --> 01:12:55.720
fun they truly had. And I don't think what they

1537
01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:57.600
knew what they were in for, because when they saw

1538
01:12:57.680 --> 01:12:59.439
the crowd, guy warned on I said, there's gonna be

1539
01:12:59.479 --> 01:13:01.000
a long line, there's gonna be a lot of people,

1540
01:13:01.079 --> 01:13:03.239
and I guess they didn't believe me until they actually.

1541
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:07.880
Well, it's always it's always great to see something to

1542
01:13:07.880 --> 01:13:10.880
bring someone of their first con and see their reaction

1543
01:13:10.880 --> 01:13:12.720
because like you kind of get to live vicariously through

1544
01:13:12.760 --> 01:13:15.199
them for a weekend or a day, whatever it's going

1545
01:13:15.239 --> 01:13:18.239
to be. It was great to see the reaction to

1546
01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:22.359
ou It all works, and you're right, like you know,

1547
01:13:22.399 --> 01:13:23.880
the second you get out, you get home and you

1548
01:13:23.880 --> 01:13:25.880
get out of the car, you're already looking up like

1549
01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:28.359
where's the next one? When is the next one? You

1550
01:13:28.399 --> 01:13:30.119
know they were doing it. But you know, I told

1551
01:13:30.119 --> 01:13:32.119
you guys. I mentioned Josh earlier when we went to

1552
01:13:32.119 --> 01:13:35.359
Motor City and Spring that night he had text me

1553
01:13:35.439 --> 01:13:37.720
and was like, Hey, there's a this this con in

1554
01:13:37.720 --> 01:13:40.640
Indiana and there's this con. Like you get caught up

1555
01:13:40.640 --> 01:13:42.079
in it. You just want you want more and more of.

1556
01:13:42.000 --> 01:13:45.479
It, right, Yeah, it's just it takes a lot of money.

1557
01:13:45.720 --> 01:13:47.039
It just take a lot of money, does.

1558
01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:48.680
Tea.

1559
01:13:50.279 --> 01:13:51.560
I'll tell you what before we move on.

1560
01:13:51.840 --> 01:13:52.199
Uh.

1561
01:13:52.439 --> 01:13:55.319
You know, when you're wearing the Batman eighty nine T shirt,

1562
01:13:55.359 --> 01:13:58.079
I just noticed I gotta I gotta give a shout

1563
01:13:58.079 --> 01:14:01.279
out to uh, to author John Jackson Miller. Oh, it

1564
01:14:01.319 --> 01:14:03.880
was at Galaxy con. Uh if you don't know the name.

1565
01:14:04.600 --> 01:14:08.920
He wrote Batman Resurrection, which kinda is kind of like

1566
01:14:08.960 --> 01:14:13.279
the sequel to the eighty nine Batman, right, So he

1567
01:14:13.399 --> 01:14:15.039
was there, he had the book. I was like, you

1568
01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:17.920
know what, that's it was on my Christmas list. It's

1569
01:14:17.960 --> 01:14:20.199
not anymore because I'm just gonna buy it and ask

1570
01:14:20.279 --> 01:14:23.920
him if he's willing to sign one. Did a great inscription.

1571
01:14:25.159 --> 01:14:27.760
Had had a nice conversation with him. Really great guy,

1572
01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:30.920
really talented writer too. I can if you if you're

1573
01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:35.760
a Batman fan by Batman Resurrection, you will you will

1574
01:14:35.800 --> 01:14:39.159
love it. It was a great read. And you know,

1575
01:14:39.199 --> 01:14:42.479
I know he's talking about doing more, so I'm looking

1576
01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:43.319
forward to his next one.

1577
01:14:43.359 --> 01:14:46.079
So yeah, I regret not getting a copy there. But

1578
01:14:46.239 --> 01:14:48.119
I just saw today that he is going to be

1579
01:14:48.119 --> 01:14:51.239
a Galley sicm this year again. So I hope to

1580
01:14:51.279 --> 01:14:51.960
pick up a copy.

1581
01:14:52.119 --> 01:14:52.720
Second chance.

1582
01:14:53.520 --> 01:14:56.359
Ye, yeah, the second chances you better grab on when

1583
01:14:56.399 --> 01:14:56.600
you can.

1584
01:14:56.680 --> 01:14:56.840
Yeah.

1585
01:14:57.880 --> 01:14:59.359
That's another one that's shaping up really good for this

1586
01:14:59.439 --> 01:14:59.920
year already.

1587
01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:02.840
It is so. I met two other people at Galaxy

1588
01:15:02.840 --> 01:15:06.359
cons that I had great experiences with. Keifer Sutherland was

1589
01:15:06.439 --> 01:15:08.920
one who I never thought again, just like John Carpenter

1590
01:15:09.159 --> 01:15:13.319
never imagined never Sutherland would come to a convention. Yeah,

1591
01:15:13.399 --> 01:15:15.760
but there's really meet me. And he was so nice, Wayne,

1592
01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:18.159
you were with me, I was when I met him,

1593
01:15:18.840 --> 01:15:22.039
but very down to earth, very friendly. I remember, you know,

1594
01:15:22.039 --> 01:15:25.079
telling him, you know how amazing of a career that

1595
01:15:25.199 --> 01:15:27.399
him and his father both had, and you know, he

1596
01:15:27.479 --> 01:15:30.319
was thanking me, and the what he told me really

1597
01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:32.760
put things into perspective for me. He looked at me

1598
01:15:32.800 --> 01:15:36.000
and he goes, you know, it's love. I love coming

1599
01:15:36.039 --> 01:15:39.359
to these things because it makes me be able to

1600
01:15:39.399 --> 01:15:42.560
meet the people who made me famous. And I'm like, wow,

1601
01:15:42.760 --> 01:15:47.479
that's really impressive from Keifer when he said that. You know,

1602
01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:49.239
it was such a great experience with him. But then

1603
01:15:49.239 --> 01:15:54.079
I also met Ernie Hudson, who everyone knows is a ghostbuster.

1604
01:15:54.319 --> 01:15:55.560
Everyone knows is Jacked.

1605
01:15:55.640 --> 01:15:58.279
Now, Yes, the dude is Jack.

1606
01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:02.640
Looks like a superhero. I know he Isn't he like

1607
01:16:02.680 --> 01:16:03.479
seventy years old?

1608
01:16:03.720 --> 01:16:04.840
Yeah, he's in his seventies.

1609
01:16:04.920 --> 01:16:08.840
Yeah, and well he looks like he's.

1610
01:16:07.439 --> 01:16:09.520
In better shape than I am. I'm not gonna lie shall,

1611
01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:13.479
but it was nice talking to him too, And I

1612
01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:16.319
told him, I said, you know, it's because of you

1613
01:16:17.119 --> 01:16:19.479
who inspired me to run around the neighborhood catching ghost

1614
01:16:20.079 --> 01:16:22.640
and it was funny. He stopped signing my picture, looked

1615
01:16:22.640 --> 01:16:26.399
at me and goes, you did you catch many? I

1616
01:16:26.439 --> 01:16:30.600
caught a lot of them? Thank you, great guy.

1617
01:16:31.199 --> 01:16:31.960
Yeah.

1618
01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:33.920
Yeah, did he tell you about the twinkie?

1619
01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:34.920
No?

1620
01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:35.960
He did?

1621
01:16:38.720 --> 01:16:42.960
Oh man, Wayne, any any other memorable moments from Galaxy

1622
01:16:42.960 --> 01:16:43.479
Con for you?

1623
01:16:43.960 --> 01:16:46.399
Well, I get to meet one of my favorite artists

1624
01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:49.720
from back in the eighties and nineties, Howard Chaikin. But

1625
01:16:50.279 --> 01:16:51.800
this is the second time I got to meet him,

1626
01:16:51.840 --> 01:16:55.039
and so far I haven't impressed him very much because

1627
01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:57.000
I seem to like the books that he does not like.

1628
01:16:59.560 --> 01:17:03.560
You know, before he had brought a copy of Black Hawk,

1629
01:17:03.600 --> 01:17:06.319
which I've always been a big black Hawk fan, and

1630
01:17:06.560 --> 01:17:08.399
told him how much I loved the series, how much

1631
01:17:08.439 --> 01:17:09.800
I loved reading it when I was a kid, and

1632
01:17:09.800 --> 01:17:11.680
how much of it made me a fan of black Hawk,

1633
01:17:11.720 --> 01:17:14.439
and he kind of rolled his eyes and was like,

1634
01:17:14.520 --> 01:17:17.840
oh my god, I hated writing the so and so

1635
01:17:17.880 --> 01:17:19.920
this year I thought, I'm gonna try something different. I

1636
01:17:19.960 --> 01:17:22.800
will talk about his Star Trek art that he would did,

1637
01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:25.079
because he did a lot of the covers, especially for

1638
01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:27.600
the movie adaptions of three, four and five, and I

1639
01:17:27.920 --> 01:17:33.399
think the fantastic art work. He does not. He does

1640
01:17:33.560 --> 01:17:36.199
not like his Star Trek work. He's he's he just

1641
01:17:36.960 --> 01:17:38.520
I don't know if he's he's just very critical of

1642
01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:42.000
his early work. He shouldn't be because it's it's beautiful work.

1643
01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:43.680
I don't know why.

1644
01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:47.399
I still love is what he is. Yeah, he's Mike

1645
01:17:47.479 --> 01:17:49.720
Tom Wilson, but I still enjoyed meeting him. He's a

1646
01:17:49.720 --> 01:17:53.720
great guy. He's fun to talk to. But just don't

1647
01:17:53.720 --> 01:17:55.880
talk about his early work.

1648
01:17:57.199 --> 01:18:00.680
So if you're keeping score, don't talk about this guy art,

1649
01:18:01.960 --> 01:18:06.039
don't mention. Let's get Harry or ask for a a

1650
01:18:06.079 --> 01:18:09.479
slugger slugger photo with Tom Wilson, and you'd be just

1651
01:18:09.520 --> 01:18:11.239
fine because these guys are great.

1652
01:18:11.279 --> 01:18:13.359
They are fantastic.

1653
01:18:13.640 --> 01:18:17.319
Recommend stopping talking with him, getting something signed, getting a

1654
01:18:17.319 --> 01:18:20.439
photo with them. Just know what about to ask for.

1655
01:18:20.520 --> 01:18:26.279
That's all. Uh. You know, Dave, I remember you had

1656
01:18:27.239 --> 01:18:29.399
and I don't it wasn't last Maybe it was last year,

1657
01:18:29.399 --> 01:18:30.960
Maybe it wasn't. I don't think it was last year.

1658
01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:35.039
But I remember you had an amazing conversation with Nick Castle,

1659
01:18:35.359 --> 01:18:39.319
the original Shape, And I remember leaving that one going

1660
01:18:39.359 --> 01:18:41.840
why didn't I stop and talk to the Shape? And

1661
01:18:41.880 --> 01:18:43.319
you kind of told me, like you get you gave

1662
01:18:43.359 --> 01:18:45.359
me the the finger wag, and You're like, well, he

1663
01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:48.720
maybe he'll be the next horror Hound or Scarefest and

1664
01:18:48.760 --> 01:18:51.399
maybe he won't. And so when he shut up a

1665
01:18:51.399 --> 01:18:55.399
Galaxy con, I was like, I'm not I'm not messing around.

1666
01:18:55.920 --> 01:19:00.680
And again, I'm sure he signs thousands of you know,

1667
01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:05.560
Michael Myers masks and photos. So it put a smile

1668
01:19:05.600 --> 01:19:07.880
on my face when I put down.

1669
01:19:08.159 --> 01:19:11.000
An Escape from New York print, Yeah, and.

1670
01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:12.640
He saw that and he kind of smiled, you know,

1671
01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:15.239
because he he wrote, he co wrote Escape from New York,

1672
01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:20.239
and he saw John Carpenter's name on that, because you know,

1673
01:19:20.279 --> 01:19:22.439
again when we met Carpenter, you know everyone's getting Halloween.

1674
01:19:22.439 --> 01:19:23.680
I was like, no, I'm getting Escaped from New York.

1675
01:19:23.680 --> 01:19:28.840
And You're like, well, that's just silly, you know. It's like, yeah,

1676
01:19:28.880 --> 01:19:32.199
but I like Escape from New York, So it was

1677
01:19:32.279 --> 01:19:35.199
kind of cool to talk with him briefly about Escaping

1678
01:19:35.239 --> 01:19:38.960
New York, his writing process, so and again, just a

1679
01:19:39.000 --> 01:19:43.039
fantastic individual. Loves people coming up to him. He always

1680
01:19:43.079 --> 01:19:44.600
wants you to. Did you notice, Dave? He always wants

1681
01:19:44.640 --> 01:19:46.399
you to come around the table and sit down next

1682
01:19:46.439 --> 01:19:49.840
to him when you're talking with him. He's the friendliest guy,

1683
01:19:50.600 --> 01:19:52.640
which is funny. You know, whether you're talking about Nick

1684
01:19:52.680 --> 01:19:57.800
Castle from Halloween or Tom Morga from Friday thirteenth, Sometimes

1685
01:19:58.159 --> 01:20:02.520
the scariest, most brutal killers in these movies are the nicest,

1686
01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:04.880
friendliest guys that you're ever going to talk to or

1687
01:20:04.920 --> 01:20:06.039
you're ever gonna meet at these things.

1688
01:20:06.279 --> 01:20:10.039
Wasn't it somebody from Fantasm at Scarefest last year who

1689
01:20:10.199 --> 01:20:13.680
made that comment that you meet the best people, that

1690
01:20:13.680 --> 01:20:15.800
that horror movies bring out the best in people.

1691
01:20:16.840 --> 01:20:19.319
Yeah, I want to say that was during the Phantasm panel.

1692
01:20:19.399 --> 01:20:22.079
It was, it was, and it's so true. I mean,

1693
01:20:22.079 --> 01:20:24.960
don't get me wrong, all these conventions you meet wonderful people,

1694
01:20:25.279 --> 01:20:29.159
but there's just something there's a different vibe at horror conventions.

1695
01:20:29.239 --> 01:20:31.960
That is a good vibe. Don't get me wrong. It's

1696
01:20:32.000 --> 01:20:34.600
just the people are just so nice and just it

1697
01:20:34.600 --> 01:20:37.239
brings up the best of them. It's so strange, but

1698
01:20:37.319 --> 01:20:37.920
it's true.

1699
01:20:38.479 --> 01:20:38.800
All right.

1700
01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:42.399
Well listen, we got we got cons to get to today. Uh,

1701
01:20:42.520 --> 01:20:44.600
you guys, you know we're kind of splitting the splitting

1702
01:20:44.600 --> 01:20:47.039
the team up here. You guys are heading north. Uh,

1703
01:20:47.680 --> 01:20:50.079
tell me about Fan Expo Cleveland, because when you guys

1704
01:20:50.119 --> 01:20:52.920
do this at me, I was like, that's that's the

1705
01:20:52.920 --> 01:20:55.199
same weekend as Horror Hound And you guys were like,

1706
01:20:55.239 --> 01:20:58.520
you had already committed. So tell me what what is

1707
01:20:58.560 --> 01:21:00.000
the event? Where is it being held?

1708
01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:04.359
Well, it's being held in Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

1709
01:21:04.560 --> 01:21:07.359
I didn't know anything about this convention until Wayne brought

1710
01:21:07.359 --> 01:21:09.439
it to my attention, especially who was going to be there.

1711
01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:11.640
So Wayne, I'll let you go ahead and enlighten the

1712
01:21:11.840 --> 01:21:12.560
listeners on it.

1713
01:21:12.840 --> 01:21:14.399
Yeah, he was the big names this weekend.

1714
01:21:14.800 --> 01:21:17.079
Oh well, I always said that if he makes an

1715
01:21:17.079 --> 01:21:20.119
appearance anywhere near us, I have to be there. And

1716
01:21:20.159 --> 01:21:24.680
that is David Tennant, you know, doctor who himself. It's

1717
01:21:24.720 --> 01:21:27.079
so rare that I get a chance to meet and

1718
01:21:27.119 --> 01:21:30.039
get the autographs for someone who. You know, it was

1719
01:21:30.439 --> 01:21:34.479
Doctor Who and he, I mean, he took the show

1720
01:21:34.680 --> 01:21:40.319
from being a small success to an international, you know, phenomenon.

1721
01:21:40.479 --> 01:21:44.680
And to get his name on my poster is like incredible.

1722
01:21:44.680 --> 01:21:48.039
I mean he's he's like the second most important name

1723
01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:51.439
that I could possibly get. So I am so excited

1724
01:21:51.479 --> 01:21:54.279
to meet him, get his autographed, to get a photo

1725
01:21:54.359 --> 01:21:56.159
with him. It's going to be it's gonna be a

1726
01:21:56.239 --> 01:21:59.039
fantastic event. But I think they're gonna be a long wait.

1727
01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:02.359
Yes, it's gonna be a long line, but we're gonna

1728
01:22:02.399 --> 01:22:02.840
expect it.

1729
01:22:02.880 --> 01:22:03.399
It's worth it.

1730
01:22:03.760 --> 01:22:06.399
Yeah, it is gonna be a long line, Wayne, because

1731
01:22:07.159 --> 01:22:10.119
I'll go ahead and tell you, while you're waiting hours

1732
01:22:10.119 --> 01:22:12.840
and hours to get to him, you're a way to

1733
01:22:12.960 --> 01:22:15.399
be longer because I'm actually gonna be there talking to

1734
01:22:15.479 --> 01:22:17.920
him about his role in the MCU as mister Purple.

1735
01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:22.199
And he'll be like, oh not start not not not

1736
01:22:22.319 --> 01:22:24.800
doctor Who. Well let's talk, and he's gonna bring out

1737
01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:33.560
a photo album. How about that guy? I'm kidding, kidding. Okay, Dave,

1738
01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:35.439
are you are you going for Tenant or is there

1739
01:22:35.439 --> 01:22:36.079
someone else that.

1740
01:22:36.279 --> 01:22:38.680
Out there that you're well, I'm going I'm going for

1741
01:22:38.760 --> 01:22:41.600
Tenant because uh, he's the one that made me really

1742
01:22:41.640 --> 01:22:45.960
love Doctor Who, and he is my favorite doctor. But

1743
01:22:46.039 --> 01:22:48.920
I'm also going for the Felt Brothers again Harry Potter.

1744
01:22:49.159 --> 01:22:51.960
Uh you know, they played the Weizzley Weasley twins, and

1745
01:22:52.079 --> 01:22:53.840
I want to get their autograph to add to my

1746
01:22:53.840 --> 01:22:56.800
collection because anytime some of these Harry Potter actors pop up,

1747
01:22:56.800 --> 01:22:59.319
I definitely want to get get take the opportunity and

1748
01:22:59.319 --> 01:23:02.119
get their autograph. So hopefully that wall work out for us,

1749
01:23:02.159 --> 01:23:03.640
because I have a feeling that win and are gonna

1750
01:23:03.640 --> 01:23:05.600
be taking turns of winning that line.

1751
01:23:07.039 --> 01:23:09.279
I think someone will be able. We'll manage it. It'll

1752
01:23:09.359 --> 01:23:11.720
work out. It's gonna be a great event. There's a

lot of big name stars there, especially if you're a

1754
01:23:15.359 --> 01:23:20.840
