This year's South by Film and TV Festival. My name is Andrew Jupin. I've got two buds with me this evening that were on the ground with me in Austin where we ate, drank, and sat around watching a whole lot of movies. They're going to bring him in here one at a time first up, and my God, my God, my God, um, um, um, is on point. Mr. Hello, yes, happy birthday. Ireland, obviously started the show.

Sure, yeah, that's what it's all about. But we're also here to talk about some movies. By the way, I just sober up for this a little bit. Yeah, you've been going since 8.30 a.m. Ooh, every damn day. Every day is St. Patrick's Day for you, buddy. Yeah, no, that's right. Were you taking a sip or something right there where I was also looking the other direction. This is water. A new thing. Oh, oh, we're going to bring in a lot of ours. You've heard him on the show a while back. If you've been following us for a while, he's got a new project that is kicking some ass and they're kicking ass at Southby. So he wasn't just watching movies with us. This dude was actually there working. You know him, you love him. Mr. Sean Weiner. What am I doing here? That's weird. Look at you. Look at you. You've been on the show. People would have a bunch. We've loved having you. Thank you. Thank you. Back in it. Back in it. Back in it. This is exciting. This is a face reveal. Face reveal. Reveal for today. I think I did a couple of transformers. And that's relevant to. discussion

you watch transformers movies I was on I was on I was on I was on I see I think I was on a transformer back in the day yes I think an X-Men or two as well an X-Men a couple X-Men and a single Mrs. Delfire I was still

single Mrs. Delfire legendary episode that's like an all-timer episode man that's like it felt that way when we did it obviously it's like you know what this is going to be an all-timeer. This show does not have that but it's going to be an all-hmm. Yeah, so it was interesting Sean, you and I've been to Southbite together before

for in another life. We were there for different reasons. But Eric, it was your first rodeo. That's right. First time. So what did you, what did you think about the whole experience? It was good. It was fun, you know. It was a little more razzle dazzle dazzle than the other festivals. I got to see the back of Ben Affleck's head. That thing is gargantuan. Big one. Oh my God. What a melon on that guy. He's got to get special orders for those Boston Red Sox hats. I'm taking it to them today. You know, I tried to buy, so they had a cool, Sean, you'll appreciate this.

They had a cool rug of Grateful Dead inspired Knicks hats, but they were fitted from a kids. It was like, ah, it was super expensive. It was like, like, like, like, like, I'm a Yankee one. It's way too big. So I was like, if I went back from that, what would the size be? You don't know your size. My size is what's the biggest you've got? And it always fits like a glove. I don't know the number. It's just the top option. Ben Affleck sized. Exactly. You can be the abflake, that was rad. Yeah, man, we'll talk about some other people we saw them or whatever.

But I think we should just get into it. A lot of stuff to cover because it is on screen live. So we'll get right to what's going on here. There's not going to be any of the traditional segments folks at home. We should say we're not going to do highest gross. The box office is actually really shitty this weekend, so it doesn't matter. No trailer segment, nothing like that. It is just straight up reviewing what we saw at South by.

So first up, Sean, were you here for this one or not? It ends. I was in the other theater. This was the two theaters. This was the new one from Alex Odom. No distributor yet on this guy. It was our first go at seeing stuff at Southby. And it was good. It's a movie. Let's say, see if you guys agree with this. It's a high concept movie. And those are always really hard to land. And this one like kind of doesn't like. end well. They don't know, they don't know how to end the movie. They have an intriguing concept. The idea is a couple of friends visiting from college, take this drive. They go down, they make a turn onto this, this back country road. There's your first mistake. And then the road never ends. It's an interesting concept. It's a Twilight Zoni concept. I like some of the performances in this movie, but it ultimately, it fails. I'm trying to think of a driving rule to make it doesn't take all the blind spots. You can't merge. You can't parallel that's right. That doesn't work as well. I mean it's like it's kind of a um all right this is my more

more sensitive read on it. It's the movie where it's like I think this guy deserves a second film. I think it's a smart like a high concept first. feature, first features are tough. I can see people, I can see people, I can't see Alex's second film and just being like, oh, oh, did you see it ends? And it ends being like, oh, you see it coming together there. And so I think that's hard when you haven't maybe made that second film yet. But also, it's crazy to try to make a movie. And it's crazy to make like a high concept film. And I think there are a lot of things that work in the film. But yeah, I'm with it. It's funny. A lot of people are It's funny. A lot of people are A lot of them with you know. It's a Less like reading a textbook manual than that movie is. You're to understand certainly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What is it? Go see it for yourself. Eric, you said Twilight Zone and that's like exactly how I felt. But like you know Rod Serling and co would have like figured out a little bit more of a satisfactory ending. I wanted a guy to walk out with. the cigarette tell me

what I just saw and what I did not get that in case anyone was it. It's an easy thing to add that in. It's a really good thing to go back. That's a very, you hire a totally separate actor, you freeze frame and you just have a man walk out and tell you what you, yeah. Let me tell you the end of this movie.

Let me tell you what the end could be. Tell me what it all means, but it doesn't. I think it's still an interesting movie. I think it's worth seeing at some point. It's something that's a thing that anybody's going to be a rush to buy, certainly no bidding war over it or anything like that. But it'll come out and it'll make it an intriguing rental. I think Sean, to your point about whatever Alex does next,

I think that's like the one to totally check out. We'll keep things going right along with high concept horror, sci-fi stuff here. Talking good boy, this was a real. a sensation at the festival. I have to say possibly not all because of the they had the dog there. I got to meet One of the highlights. Indy, the dog

from Goodboy was there. Everyone was starstruck. Suddenly everyone's given this movie inflated ratings. Sean, did you see this one? I didn't know. I was working. That's going to come up a few times. You got snuck away. this is a cool

it's a cool concept. It's a It's a haunted house movie. The dog is the dog is the And the problem with that He's a dog. He's a dog. The dog is not talking, which is fine. But how they choose to do it, which is like, it's not, it's not dog cam, right?

So it's not like that kind of first person. That's what I was wondering. It's not first puppy POV. But it is like, Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like the dog, like the but the choice to then make all the people kind of insignificant, and they just tell you this sort of vague story. And you get what's going on, right?

It's like, guy moves into this house that his grandfather owned. The grandfather, by the way, played by the legendary Larry Pesenden of indie horror fame. So it's always cool seeing him pop up. But it's like, there's this problem in the house or there's an entity or something like that. it gets the best of the grandfather and then this guy moves in vaguely, I guess, he was like that, he's got like a sister that's sort of checks in on him, you know? And it's because of your decision to make it like from the dog's perspective a lot of the time, or the entire time I should say, you don't give a shit about the rest of it. So there's no stakes really. And you kind of assume just from the way that the movie's made and like it was this guy.

It was the director's dog, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they're not going to kill this fucking thing. Right. It's like, the stakes aren't, you know, what I think they maybe thought they were going for. But again, like, it's the best dog performance I've seen. Oh. I don't know how long. Amazing dog performance. I think messy, messy is pissed that you said that.

I just want to be clear. There's a new challenger. Who was, which one was messy? Uh, what was it? The fall, something of the fall. anatomy of the fall. Oh, right, yes. Does a seizure

You're saying this is the best? No, no. Messy's better. Hmm. I don't know though. This dog is reacting to ghosts, man. It's like, how do you make a dog Just describe?

Please describe react. Kind of like this. It's kind of like, so the dog's over here and you hear something over here, right? And it's just kind of like, like, they get the dog to do like reaction takes. I don't know how to explain it. I mean, it must have taken so long to train this little. guy, you know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, but I mean, would have been I think the problem is that dog perspective because then the owner's just some asshole.

And that's all, I don't know anything about him because the perspective, I'm not only just from the perspective of the dog, I'm just dropped into this dog. I don't know the dog's history. I don't know what their whole thing is. um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, but it's, uh, and you like, uh, are you like, you, like, you don't see direct on faces. It's either like, their heads are just cropped out of frame or like, we're out of focus. A real like Charlie Brown approach. You can hear what they're, but they're a little, they're giants among us.

That's, including the, the people are Charlie Brown approach. You don't even really see the owner's face. just like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, and, and, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, that would be, that would be, what, that would be a true failure. Yeah, no, it's, it's, again, it's really cool. It was this dude's, uh, feature debut. Um, so again, it's the same thing, like this, uh, Ben Leonberg guy, keep a look out for this guy. Because again, someone's going to pick this up.

It'll be somebody, you'll be able to rent it, you know. I was actually kind of surprised it wasn't going in. to the festival, like, like, because it just seems like, it just seems like a thing, on shutter at 1730 at night. I mean, that's, I will say, hmm, big positive about it, under 80 minutes that runtime. Yeah, I think 72 or three or something like that. Seam of the night might be, uh, uh, movies that we saw that you don't need to see this one, but fuk, when you see their next movie, you're going to say, do you remember that what they did about the dog at the hot house?

you ever seen that one you know you know of these movies but I don't turn up for like two after they play there it could definitely be the case moving on another

I believe this was a feature debut we caught this one I think this was the first thing we saw Eric was this the first thing we saw at the Paramount one of the best fucking places to see a movie ever but it's a movie called the Dutchman yes it was yeah this was the first

first one we saw it, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, that, you know, it played really well, I think in the audience, um, for sure. I just kind of, for me, it was sort of like, I don't know entirely what they're trying to say. Like, admittedly, I haven't seen the play and read the play. Um, so for me, I was kind of just hooked on like, there's some really great performances in this movie. Uh, yes, exactly. including André Holland, like, like, man, like, man, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, and this is no exception. He's like carrying this movie, um, sort of the long and short of it is a dude working in a, like a political campaign for, uh, Aldous Hodge. Um, you may know him

from playing Hawkman in that shitty Black Adam movie. Um, so he's like working for him while also having like marriage problems with Zazzy Beats and they go to, uh, uh, a counselor of some kind, by the great total legend, Mr. And he's kind of like, man, it's called the Dutchman. it'll help you through all your problems. And then he basically goes on to have

this like incredibly surreal one crazy night in New York City where it starts off with Kate Mara on the subway getting pretty handsy with him. Yes. And it sort of just goes from there. There is. I just want to highlight one thing. It's part, it's not what's

the movie's just a very small fragment, but it's worth conveying to our audience who very much care about these types. I know where you're going. Here we go. But there is a comheist in the movie. Yes. There is semen is a McGuffin. And that is good. And I agree with you, Andrew. There's a lot of great performances here. But it does feel like it's almost like the way it's trying to say, I feel like it's, it's a, I feel like, it's a, you know, I feel like, muddled with its message. Yeah, exactly. Like, he's a, he's a dude who's going through all of these, like, masculinity kind of things due to his, like, you know, crumbling marriage. He's also doing a little bit of, uh, imposter syndrome kind of of stuff. So there's like a lot going on. It kind of just felt like you're getting

hit with a ton here. Um, I was going to say a lot of, I'm thinking that's that a lot of storylines could say, uh, marriage problems with sassy beats. I feel Like that's all of Atlanta. Yeah, like a big part of, and then the other Kate Mara film, I saw the other film that was conveniently left off this list because y'all didn't see it, which was friendship with Tim Robinson. Yes, I mean, you are the only one that got to. It could be my monologue, Andrew.

My big moment. The stage is yours? It was great. It was great. And I think anybody who's a big fan of Tim Robinson. So it's nice to see, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I had no idea Kate Mera was in that movie. She was in, I guess three or four at the festival. At least three, because she was also in the astronaut, I think it was called,

that no one appeared to like, uh, so there was that we didn't see that one. Can't weigh in. But yes, we got, we got totally shut out of friendship. And this is a little lesson for, you know, folks like what goes on at South by. So like, sometimes, you you just gets shut out of stuff, because it's very popular. And so Sean got in, you know, you know, you know, you know, nothing to do until we met up with Sean later, just went and got drunk. Well, you just went to a tiki bar and got drunk. Yeah, there's, there's no way to lose.

It's one of those nights where I met up with them afterwards. I was like, oh, yeah, great. Let's start the night and then about 15 minutes to do it up. Like, oh, no, the night started hours and hours ago. Oh, yeah. let's see if I could catch up with the night. You were, you were busy your knee to friendship, and we were slapping our knees drunk, because night starts at dawn for us. At least today, St. Patrick's.

Happy St. Patrick's. You got to do it. Yeah, again, no distributor for this. I assume someone will find this. I don't know what like, I was talking about like levels of distributors or whatever. I kind of don't know where this would go. I could see it being like a magnolia, IFC thing for sure. Sort of kind of above that, but yeah, you know, you know, I have to say this. I have to say this about every single movie we saw, regardless of whether or not, you know, it worked for us or whatever. There wasn't a single time watching anything that I was like, that's a poorly made movie. Like everything was crafted, I think, really, really well this year, which was nice. From big stuff down to smaller stuff. Just so happened, not all of it works, you know. story-wise, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, and, uh, uh, cause cause, uh, and fans of Rocky horror will be very interested in this. It's a movie called Strange Journey.

The story of Rocky Horror and it's directed by, uh, Richard O'Brien's son, Linus O'Brien, which I think was kind of cool. And this was, um, you know, I don't know, it's, it's weird. Like, like this is a movie where it's, it'll probably do like a straight to max kind of a, kind of a, kind or like straight to Hulu kind of a thing. It's not like, but I think, but I think where it's going to be really important is like, like, like the moment we're in reminding people about like what Rocky Horror like did culturally. I think it's very important right now. And it's fun as fuck.

I mean, you got tons of clips from the movie, the history of, you know, the original, you know, production in England. Tim Curry interviewed on screen, which was pretty surprising. I was shocked. I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I mean, you know, you know, he's sort of like, he was in a wheelchair and whatever. I mean, yeah, he's got his problems. Who doesn't? But speaking, it was like, he was totally fine. Um, so it was like, it was great seeing him in it also. It's one of those like, and I don't know how a doc like this ever gets past this, but all the criticism I've seen about it. I think even the Indy Wire review was like, oh, it's very surface level. It's like, well, I don't know. know how far you're going to dig in a dock like this, you know, you know, like, you know, like, you know, like, you know, you know, I think it goes pretty well into it. Yeah. Covers a lot of how O'Brien made it, where O'Brien came from, et cetera, you know, I, you know,

for someone like me who's not, I, I, I've only watched it a few times. This made me really want to rewatch it. But I thought it was very fascinating because I didn't realize all the different productions, staged productions that went through. I didn't realize what a flop the movie was and the whole a midnight movie I think was I just really thought that was I would spread across the country pre-internet you know yeah

and the wildest part is right so that part where they get to talking about the they call it like the shadow cast and all that like the people that like act out the movie in front of the screen while the movie plays they're talking about that And the first two theaters where that was really like getting a groove was the Waverly downtown, which is now we call the IFC center.

But then the crazy thing was the other place in all of America. The other place was the Paramount in Austin. And so there we are in the Paramount, watching the movie with a packed house. It's like a 1,200 seat theater. And they mentioned this, Sean, the place went fucking ape shit. Like it was really wild. And you had people like in like, in like, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, like, like, you know, like, uh, you know, uh, one person definitely

like, being in that, but also like the screening was at 11 o'clock in the morning. So I didn't have to go to a midnight thing to see it. Um, dressed up like meatloaf meatloaf, just, just like a regular meatloaf, like, or, or like, it was a big, it's a big rectangular brown square with ketchup all over the front of it. Yeah, walked, walked in and someone was like, oh, hey, you're, your meatloaf today. I'm like, I'm like, I'm just heavy as well. Sorry. Andrew, you're a rookie horror guy. Yeah, I've seen it a bunch.

I like it. I've actually never gone to like a public screening or anything. The funny thing was the theater that used to do it here in New York for years after like the Waverly closed for a long time before became the IFC, the theater on 23rd Street, an 8th Avenue that's now closed right across the street from, trailer park. That theater did it famously did the midnight shows like that. I don't know if it's going around in the city right now. It'd be kind of interesting. I don't know if I don't think I've seen it like on IFC's website or anything, but they would be pretty smart to. Are you nervous about it? I'm like nervous. I wouldn't go. I feel like, you know, I'm in my early 40s. I can't go to my first Rocky Horror. And people are going to know. I think it's a whole thing. It's never too late from. folks, but I think what's happened now is is the room has taken over

somehow that's culturally significant. I have a surface level interest in the room is my problem, so. That's kind of where I'm out with it too. Like, I don't give a shit enough. One, to ever pay to see that movie, but to pay it to see it in public. It's just not my bag.

I mean, I fucking love the music in Rocky Horror. I think the movie, It's so much fun. They talk about how they talk about it. It was a low budget movie, but they had some money for things like special effects and whatever. And because they were so tuned into like, we want to make this as B movie as possible.

They were like, no, no, no. See that effect he did right there? Make it shittier. You got to make it look shittier. That's awesome. Yeah, it was really interesting hearing, you know, shit like that. And you got Barry Boswick and Susan Sarandon also there.

No meatloaf because he died of COVID because he refused to get vaccinated. So there's that No interviews from meatloaf, but they have a lot of the You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, the first stage play and stuff So, you know, it's neat. It's a keep your eyes peeled for it. Theaters would be very smart to if they are able to do some kind of, you know, one-off screening of the doc Like pairing it with the movie right after seems like a complete, you know, film programming no brainer, I'd say.

Exactly. So last one of this first half here. this was actually the last movie we saw and I think it was sort of like a really fun way to end our south by this is clown in a cornfield directed by Eli Craig you may remember him as the dude who did Tucker and Dale versus evil which is a very very funny slasher comedy and so this is kind of pretty much exactly in that mold although boy I was genuinely stunned when Eli Craig came out to do the intro and he was like and special thanks to blah, blah, blah, blah, yeah, blah, blah, blah, that's a book, blah, yeah, so, blah, so you got to the book, before it was hip from the movie. Yeah, yeah, that's right. It's an 800, it's an 800-page novel. The Adventures of Cavalier and Clown and a Cornfield. It was fun. It was fun. It's a fun movie, right? Yeah, it's totally right down the middle. It's exactly what you expect pretty much.

I will say amazing Will Sassau performance. The big fat sheriff. I think that's what his name was, no. I think it was just, and Will Saso as big fat sheriff, exactly. So good. And what's his name? Kevin Durand from a ton of shit, obviously.

A Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes most recently. He's like the mayor of this town. It's got kind of like vibes of Eli Roth's Thanksgiving a little bit. it's like a old, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, it's fucked up stuff happening with the town elders and whatever. And it's up to this group of teenagers to kind of like figure out what's going on. I got to say pretty good kills, very funny, you know, I mean, it's got all that stuff that you would sign up to watch a movie called clown in a cornfield for, like, this movie has it all. Um, um, it is out 5'9 from RLJ and Shutter. I don't know if that's, like, day and date.

So in other words, like, like, and then streaming on shutter at the same time. I don't know if that's going to work. I will say, though, it was to the film's benefit and ours watching it that we were in a huge theater with people who were like keyed in to exactly what the movie was like putting out. And it was clearly more fun. Like, so if you can't catch it in the theater, definitely get some buds around the old shutter campfire and watch it. I don't think you'll have the same vibes watching it. alone on your couch. I do think it's, it's no, it's no, it's not, it's, it's not, it's a good enough time. Yeah, yeah, no. And all the, all the teens, all the dead meats were, you know, good and entertaining. I didn't recognize a single one of them. I think it's probably a lot of, you know, first work for some folks are probably the biggest thing they've done. So, yeah, you know, props to you like Craig. I'm glad he's back making a movie that I saw. If you haven't seen that Tucker and Dale versus evil, by the way, definitely, um, check that. I have not seen it. It's a really good. It's a really good. It's a real. It's a really good. It's a really good. It's not seen it. I didn't know. God damn. Bipartisanship. This movie, it sort of reminded it was like a are you afraid the dark aesthetic. It felt honestly like and this isn't to be like, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, like, you know, it's small enough. And I thought that worked for it and, um, might help you on your way into clicking. Yeah. That's, that's actually a really great way to put it. It's like a, an actually violent and bloody, are you afraid of the dark? Right. Which is, it was made me think of what was a few years ago, uh, Fear Streets came out. That's all those. sort of a similar, good call. Great call. It's exactly. It's exactly the real street movies. I dug two out of the three of them. You will totally vibe with this movie. So we'll take a quick break here. Just plug some stuff we have coming up. So as you know, UK and European listeners, barring some more continued fuck uppery on our end, we will be in Oxford.

That's exactly right But the cool thing is too When you do that you are helping our 2025 merch initiative that's right, we are donating every penny we make to the center for reproductive rights. shit be terrible out there. that's the small way we're trying

to do our part here. That's right. No profit will go to us whatsoever on any merch throughout the entire calendar year. That's right. Fowle in the chat just says, this just in. Trump issues executive order to shred passports for all podcasters. Yeah. I can actually see

that happening. Well, we're going to pivot to a Big marker So yeah, whatever Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun And if you do the merch thing, you're kicking into a good cause So Sean, you were here watching films with us at Southby But you were also here for a different reason

You're one of the co-partners of a great org called UFO You want to talk about that a little bit? It's me, yeah, sure So I read a logo by the way, so thank you Thank you I run a nonprofit called UFO It's more than anything It's like a filmmaker development

It's like a organization We do residencies Future filmmakers We give them time to write Time to edit their films And the reason I was there Was we also do a short film lab That's based in Brooklyn

At Bam, the Brooklyn Academy of Music Where we kind of bring folks in Give them about a year and a half And they make two short films over that time They're folks who kind of to make films, but as the film industry knows, the only way you get to be the person who makes a film is usually

you have resources without any challenges there. Or you have proximity to power or to an insider track. So what we're trying to do is just take free applications, open applications, and pick three or four people every nine months, bring them in,

And we will back them, 10K behind each of their short films, we'll meet every week, we'll hopefully see those films get out there. this was crazy. A film by a filmmaker named Kevin Chien Ming Yu called Fish Bones was our first film to ever play at a film festival and it premiered at South by Southwest. So I was thrilled to be at South by celebrating that

first first film's premiere. Really? I've seen it twice. Big fan. You're one of the first. Because it's only one of a festival. I mean, it was really awesome, man. I mean, I'm no stranger to seeing the work you do for this. But I have to say, it was really great being in South by and like seeing Kev outside the theater where their film was playing. You could tell they were just a pig and shit. It was such a moment for Kevin in the film. It's so heartening that a good chunk of the reason why that happened was because of the work that UFO does. So you all are really, really fucking doing it, man. And all the accolades that you guys deserve for that. Now, just in case anyone out there watching or listening to the audio only version are curious like, hey, I make movies or I want to make movies. You know, is this? something I could do. What sort of, what sort of, you, you know, you know, you know, for sure. We're not a film school. We're not teaching people how to make films. So usually we're looking for folks to apply who have one or two short films that they've made that they feel like really kind of demonstrates their style, films that they feel good about. Obviously, they

wish they had maybe more time or more money behind them, but we can see kind of what their voices. And then, and then we're able to kind of, and then we're able to kind of, like, and then we're able to kind of like, and then they can kind of really hone that voice. And our job is to sort of bridge that gap from, whether you went to school for film or not, kind of bridge that early career gap to get you kind of ready to, if you're interested in making future films, to kind of get to that precipice. And so we feel like we can do a lot to kind of shine a spotlight on filmmakers. and get people excited about them. I guess, I guess, the more important part is that we're a group of folks and, you know, you're all working together and they wind up becoming kind of like a cohort or community unto themselves. So you kind of are able to engage with what is a pretty harsh and unforgiving industry with like a group of other folks who are kind of figuring it out as well.

And that helps with everything that you pass through later on, whether it's like further labs, financing the film, dealing with and contracts, all of that's intimidating. We we provide a community to be able to amongst others. That's awesome and yeah, I mean, if you ever get to see any of these premieres when they happen at Bam,

I mean, it's so great. You see this like camaraderie amongst all the fellows, like they've all sort of like cross-pollinated each other's work. Like it's a truly beautiful thing and kind of like the way I wish this industry was like, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, it's, um, um, um, it's, um, um,

It's, you just finished a submission window. For folks who are curious, like, like, like, is the next time you're going to open for submissions? Yeah, so we're just selecting next week. That semester will run until the end of December, so it'll probably be towards the end of this year, end of 2025, where we'll open up submissions again. Just takes a while to bake a movie also. Sorry, we'll make sure to remind you when submissions are open again.

Good deal, my friend. Yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, and then you were, uh, and it's like all this like, you know, it was happening in once. It was, it was really great. Yeah, it was also to be able to hang out with you there, go to the festival. My God, a lot of good times. It's great that you're doing this community. It's like a community you're creating, which is, which is wonderful. Thanks, Eric. You're welcome. Thank you. I was not being sarcastic. No, I know. No, it's, it's really great. And the films, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we're working in folks, we're working in, we're working in the spaces

that. So it's pretty cool because, because folks wind up making kind of wildly different stuff and they, they kind of pull each other into new interesting directions. So the work wants up being really exciting. So yeah, thanks, thanks so much for highlighting it. Yeah, of course, man. And I think it's great to circle down in, uh, now the final five that we're talking about here. I think, uh, it's sort of interesting because this next one is from, a filmmaker that I think getting him to come, would be fantastic. It's the new one

Asher. It's called now, if you don't know Rodney Asher's work, he's done three really fantastic documentaries already. Room 237, which is all about people who are obsessed with Shining conspiracies, as in conspiracies based off of the Kubrick film The Shining.

Then he did The Nightmare, which is people telling their stories about having sleep paralysis, indeed, which is indeed, which I do get, by the way, I get, I get, I'm a victim of sleep paralysis. And that, that movie does a good job of summing it up for you. And then he did a movie during the pandemic called The Glitch in the Matrix, which is all about people obsessed with simulation theory. And that runs the gamut from people who just kind of quietly, gently believe that they're living in a simulation, all the way to people who murder their families because of it. uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, imaginative, reenactments and simulations to, you know, highlight what someone is talking about. And in the case of ghost boy, I mean, this movie, the story is all about, uh, this guy in South Africa who, when he was like a little kid in the 80s, I think it was, you know, he just

sort of fell with this illness, became comatose, like total vegetative state, and then eventually but couldn't move. So he spent several years of his life watching people talk as if he's not in the room, uh, you know, of course it goes all the way from one end to, you know, he's saying lighthearted stuff like people would just fart in front of me all the way to, of course, like he was fucking assaulted by shitty hospital staff and whatever. But the way that, story unfolds is all through. I want to say the guy's name is Martin. He's the guy's the guy's the last name. He is he has since regained the ability to move his arms and everything. He's still wheelchair. He's still in a wheelchair, but he talks through a computer. And so he basically has an interview with Rodney

all through his simulated voice. And then what you see is what, you know, Rodney films these amazing, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, like, um, but there's like, like, so many cool visual tricks in a documentary, which you don't really expect. There's a rear projection, front projection work. There's a set, you know, there's a whole part of the film about, uh, Barney, uh, the, uh, the dinosaur. I said the clown, uh, uh, party. He's kind of a clown. That dinosaur was a fucking clown. He was a clown. that piece of shit. It's almost like it's almost like a psychedelic imagery of Barney and being trapped in this body. They're forcing you to watch Barney. Because they don't even know you're in there. Yeah, they just put him in front of a television. Very fascinating documentary. Yes, there is one single shot of T.J. Hooker, William Shatner as T.J. Hooker briefly in the film. I mentioned it on Blue Sky. And Rodney reached out. He seems like a really nice guy. It's a really good doc. You should check it out. Yeah, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, uh, uh, uh, you know, uh, you know, is gone to places, uh,

and Magnolia in the past. I think Magnolias who had glitch in the matrix. So, you know, when you think about how documentaries get made or, you know, what they look like and the form of them and everything. Like Rodney is a filmmaker who always kind of smashes that notion of what a documentary should look like. So, yeah, uh, Sean, I think you will also find this. Yeah, I would, would love to see it. Also very, very, very, very interesting. Very much the opposite of the next film we're talking about, right, right, I wonder, do you think people who are simulation conspiracy theorists? What do they think about the guy who makes the documentary about the simulations conspiracies? Do they go to him and they feel like, you know, he's in honor? He must be in honor. He's the Oracle or whatever, or what have you? Yeah, he's the dude in the control room. Yeah, he's definitely the dude, dude, dude, dude, like, dude, like, like, he's definitely the dude, like, like, he was in the matrix and he was like, if I gun down my parents with a shotgun, it won't matter because they're computers.

And so he killed his parents. He said, dodge this. And that's what, and then the rest is history. The rest was indeed. Tragic, tragic. It's tragic history, but it's history nonetheless. I was just remember. bring a line from the film. Sorry. Eric, Eric, but Eric, but Eric,

the opposite end of the movie, what Rodney made. But it is a new, basically talking head doc called The Age of Disclosure, directed by Dan Farrah. No distributor on this guy either, but this was, of course, right up our alley and the audience's alley, because it is dudes talking about the real-life existence of UFOs. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I, I think some people expected more, like, like, like, like, like, like huge revelations. I mean, what's really interesting about the movie is it's everyone being interviewed works in the government. It's not like Alex Jones is in this documentary. It's all people from the government saying what they can say, and it's, and there's some pieces of crap in this, too, right?

Marco Rubio's all over this movie. Yes, he's, to his credit, he wants to know about aliens, though. Dude, man, man, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, that sucks. I thought, it was the only movie that my mother texted me about. She said, are you still in Texas? Did you see the controversial alien duck? The fact that this movie reached my mother says that this is probably the most legit alien UFO-focused film of all time. And it also is very, um, it's just like, it's a pretty little.

I think, Eric, like, like, like, like, that it's what makes it's what, yeah, yeah, I mean, it's really is every, it's hard, it's going to be hard to call everybody a bunch of quacks with this, with this cast of characters and talking heads. And it, it doesn't, I mean, it told, it said things that I, I didn't know about. I think if I was a UFO aficionado, I might have known, but I'm not. I have a surface level interest in UFOs. And, uh, but I will, I will tell one. quick story, one of the other reasons stuff by was to do some mentorship I work with filmmakers. I can sign up and one person signed up to with me and obviously I'm representing UFO and she sat down and she was

a lawyer who was representing a man who's been abducted multiple times and so she booked some time with me because, you know, UFOs. Sure. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They did do her research, but it was awesome.

You had a good conversation. Great conversation. It's amazing thinking back to you saying, like, you know, people must be talking about this movie if your mother knew about it. And I think, like, that's totally right also because nobody has this movie. So nobody's, like, been promoting it, really outside of South Bay and, like, probably, like, alien enthusiast circles or whatever. But, Eric, Eric, I think, what, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,

like, you have to amp up your copy or whatever. So the way it's written, you, you know, I could see people setting in their mind a certain expectation, even though the move, the, the copy that's, you know, South by Rotor was provided or whatever doesn't make any of these promises. But the vibe I got was people being like, thinking they were going to see like Jonathan Frakes, host that fucking, they thought, you know what I mean? There's going to be a camera, and some dude's going to be like, and here you are, film world, and a dead alien. And it's like, which would be like, whoa, right?

Whoa. But like, I don't know, the fact that you got like 30 members of the U.S. government telling me that there are two species of humanoid aliens on Earth is pretty big to me. I don't. And, you know, maybe it's all a sciop or something. But then again, the movie's not even picked up yet. So is it going to be buried?

I mean, yeah, you can easily submit something. But like, like, like, I don't know, like, like, like, who takes a chance on this movie? I'd be shocked. I'd be shocked if a major distributor to get behind this movie. It's too, it's like, it's a full thing. It's a full thing that people, and people want to see this because it's a great way to look away from everything else

and look at something that everybody's curious about. if we're talking about bipartisan efforts it's a great movie for that too you got you got you're talking about some alien people and everybody agrees yeah and sean you're right everyone is interested in this movie who did we see on the way to the bathroom afterwards oh the michael bay michael bay was in the audience with us to see this and that that's amazing i think it's great i mean because like he didn't have anything to do with the movie he was like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like he's, he's legitimately confused as to where, where the bathroom would be, which leads me to

believe that Michael Bay has not had to find his own bathroom for some time. No, there's usually a guy with a little pan following them. We'll, uh, we'll talk about more, uh, with Michael Bay in a sec. Um, but one of the highlights, we're down to the final three films here. And all three of them were definitely highlights for me. But one that's coming up pretty big guy. Drop the new one from Chris Landon coming out the 11th of April. So just a few months from now, Universal's putting this out wide.

It's a Blumhouse production, of course. This is a movie that on paper seems like it would be really annoying, if not executed so precisely. And man, Landon does it, you guys. Like this movie is it's like tight. It's fun. It's not a lot of fat. It is. It is. It is. It is. I, like it is. I like it's a lot as well. Like the containedness. We've had a lot of contained thrillers lately like trap and shit like that. And I like this trend. And I think it's it's I feel like it was almost marketing a little bit of like a horror thing. I guess it's sort of is. It's scary. if there's more of a thrill. but it's more of a thrill. what was you're saying? No, no, I thought

I thought it's a great too. I thought it's a great time. It reminds me of like I don't know, there's something really hitchcocky about it. It feels like we're bringing back. I mean, maybe that's the idea of the contained thriller, but there's something really fun to play in like a singular space. And I think the only detriment for this film is that probably within two years,

nobody will be able to make sense of the technology being used in it. It's like, you have to air drop something to somebody. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'll admit, I, I, I, I only barely know what that technology is, and I'm ready to move on. I thought age of disclosure was going to talk about these, this air dropping shit I've heard about. Because I don't know anything about it. Dude, it came up on, oh, we actually, uh, on, on, on this show several weeks ago, we did a trailer reaction to drop. And it was revealed there that also Steve Sadek, no clue about air drop technology. use it every week. You're

you're scientist. You're you're totally right, Sean, because it's like those movies now like it's like those unfriended and those kinds of things where it's like those like computer desktop movies and it's like they're using like eye message and whatever

else and you're like I don't know man in 10 years is anyone going to be able to follow this. Are you going to like bars and air dropping like you want to listen to a podcast? of people. We should do that. We should do that. We need to market this thing. It's not going well. I have, I use like a app on my phone to make promo images for the show. Just like a layout app or whatever. I make that image and then I air drop it to my laptop so I can like post it places. Bro me too. All my air dropping is to myself. It's just a feedback loop between this. the laptop and this phone. I'm never going to be like

unsolicited photograph. It would be air drop anyone but yourself. It's way more of a Chris Cabin thing. Funny funny quick story here though. Another thing about like this festival that's different from some other fests around the globe. A lot of

locations. A lot of different screening locations at Southby so you are getting in cars. You're going this place and that. And we were going from one movie I don't remember Eric but we were going to see we were we called the car

we got out a good boy maybe we were calling the car and folks I got to tell you the car pulls up wouldn't you know it it's a Waymo now I don't know if you're familiar with this Waymo technology just say no Waymo to Waymo

it is the same thing that John Malaney uses the little delivery guy that guy it's a car version of that um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, and I'm, and I was like, um, I'll roll the dice to see if this will happen. So you can, like, edit your Uber settings to say, like, I opt in if there's a waymo around send them my way. So wouldn't you know it? We get a waymo. We had to sign a release saying it was okay if we died.

Well, I have a little bit of, uh, our reaction driving in the car. Oh, no. Let's take a look at this real quick. I don't know about this. Racing to see in Waymo. You may use interior cameras. Check on riders, improve our products and more.

We're going to die. Hey, it's Waymo. You can't hear you. You can also use the app for passenger screen to speak to better support you. Do you fill in the last will and testament here? There you go. There you go. First of all, there's a lot of dudes driving us. On the fucking phone. Waymo just and the other thing. Waymo just wants to get you where you're going. Yes. That's all. Someone asks. Someone in the chat is asking if we survived. No. We're ghosts and you're a dog. Ghost show. Ghosts show. Ghosts. But the only time we had trouble with the waymo was when we got, they were doing screenings at this waymo pulls up, totally fine.

We're getting out of the car. Doesn't this valet guy slam the door on Eric's fingers? Yes, my thumb got smashed by Waymo's door, and somehow Waymo was not at fault. It was human error. Human error, dude. Don't blame Waymo. Blame Wayne. Well, waymo.

Waymo. We're going to make him. a robot too. Did Waymo like she was talking to you? A little bit. It was like, yeah. Yeah, I know your quiet rides preference, Andrew. So I don't know if that was a, well, great point, dude, but I will say this, Waymo was not expecting me to respond. Waymo's just telling you like security things, like don't open the fucking door, that kind of stuff. Other people, you know, they're expecting me to talk

back, waymo, you know, you know, I don't know, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not doing a waymo here. I'm just saying, waymo, keeping it buttoned up. Say, well, we'll balance it out. Waymo, terrible service. It would never recommend it. See, it's not an ad. Perfect. So there you go.

I just wanted to show that video because I thought it was very funny. We weren't sure whether or not we were going to make it to that screening alive, but we were there and we saw a drop. But speaking of Michael Bay, of course, one of the highlights for a lot of folks, was the new documentary. that's right. documentary, called the doc that's a doc

the history, the evolution of this seven guy team from the UK. Man, some of this footage. Like, this is a real, you know, I want Michael Bay to use all of his powers to get this movie at least a couple

screens on an IMAX because, like, good God, can you imagine. Yeah. I loved it. I loved it. Honestly, this was, I, you know, you know, I love about it is like, like you said,

like you know, um, um, you know, you know, you, you know, if you people, you read about, there was a standing ovation at South by, so, that was me. He wrote about me in the newspaper. I, yeah, I was like, come on everybody. You did this to people. You went like this.

Get up. Get up. Get the fuck up. Uh, no. so Michael Bay was cool. He did this intro. He did not, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, and you could tell you, he, he, he did not want to use this microphone and wasn't sanctioning microphone related buffoonery. And he just like started projecting into this auditorium. And I was like, that dude's a director. Like the way he just fucking like took that room and was like,

is everybody with me? Excellent. Here we go. And it was just like, you know, you only feel electricity like that every so often. But the laughs that he was. giving was outside. we're waiting on the line there's people. Did you take did not? I did not. But like the the autograph thing

is something I'll go to my grave not understanding and these folks were out there with like bad boys posters like clipped to huge wooden boards and he was clearly like oh I got Will and Martin to sign it. Taley only signed it now just he's left and

just like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, yeah, right. Good luck, guys. He visited, like, every single person on that line. He was signing stuff. Like, I was genuinely surprised. Seems like a very nice guy. Yeah.

Yeah. This is, this is, like, you know, another thing that I really liked about is the theme, like, sort of goes through the movie. Because, like, these are guys that started doing parkour when they were, like, fucking around as, like, teenagers, you know, 15 years ago or whatever. And now they're, like, like, like, like in their early thirties and it's getting harder to do parkour and uh so i just like when you you love something and like just like any athlete right you're getting too old and like your body can't do it

anymore it was interesting to see that from the perspective of like that shit crazy parkour yeah yeah for sure is that what's going on with you guys right now like do you like your focal cords aren't working and you're like oh that's part of me yeah you're doing you're gargling Every stream is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is just the final one. I know, Andrew, like, but Andrew, like, like, I do think the, because it's a doc and these are real people going through real things, there's more human emotion here than Shia LeBuff and Transformers. Like, it is a great Michael Bay movie. I could not believe the things that these kids do, but at the same time you could maybe knock this as being like, well, Michael Bay condensed their YouTube channel from the last 10 years into a, film, which is a fair criticism. I'd rather

I'd rather experience it than go through I got the good ones. I got the highlight reel from I'm good on parkour videos now. It's also nice to see it on the big screen. It's like, it's so much more. I mean, like you said, Andrew about it being on IMAX would be incredible. I do feel like there's a lot of Michael Bay love here. I feel like we should come down a notch because it's like you can I'll highlight

I'll highlight that he introduced They're seven guys Two of them had missed a flight He had to be there He had to announce five guys And he got through three Two or three And then he had to whisper to one of them

To check up the names Of the guys he was calling out to the store King shit right there Lizzie I You know As someone who was once chastised By Sam Waterston for pronouncing his name wrong, you don't want to say someone's name wrong. And who knows, but I know,

personally, I'm fucking terrible with names. Eric Smith, right? That's it. That's me. But yeah, that was pretty funny. I mean, it was awesome, though, like him. I mean, we watched the movie like fucking five feet from him. Like, he sat and, you know, watched the movie and everything. There are a couple moments in that movie was, like, that elicited a general, a genuine, like, like, like, like, I mean, you know, like, you know, like, you know, like, like, like, I mean, you know, you know, yeah, and spoiler alert, sometimes they're not going to make it. And so that was part of what was really intense was, was, was the, the fact that the film

was willing to kind of go into the moments of, uh, real accident that happens and how they cope with those things. Which you got really have to do, you know, right? Like, because kids at home, I know you want to jump off a building, but don't. You could fall. You could. I don't know things. The whole problem with buildings. The whole thing that was interesting is that Michael Bay, we saw him the next, I think it was the next day. We saw him at Age of Disclosure at the UFO doc. Yeah, wearing the same clothes, we should say. Same clothes. That's what I was going to say. Oh, you were?

Clothes. Which to me is more that he's like, kind of like he's space age. You know, he's just got like a single outfit. I like that is his outfit for right now. Ernest P. That's how you travel That's how you got the funds where you can't have your hotel doing nightly laundry for you and it doesn't matter. Oh, you think he has one outfit? You know, it wouldn't surprise me if he was like a, you know, sort of an eccentric fellow there with a lot of money. I don't know. Dude, easiest way to travel with like a fan. He doesn't travel with anything.

It's all on his person. Yeah, he's wearing a dude. you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you're, you know, you're, you might be, you might be raw dog in it, yeah. Oh, well, that's, yeah, definite possibility there. Anyway, we are store, no distributor, um, but it reminds me of the movie, uh, Skywalker's, a love story, I think it was called. that was at Sundance um, um, um, um, um, like, um, um, um,

but they did play it at the a week or whatever. So I don't know. I hope someplace actually picks it up and Michael Bay, you know, waves his magic, Transformers wand and we get some fucking IMAX screenings of it because it would be super fun. Uh, we got one more here, uh, close things out. Uh, this was a late night one.

Sean, you, uh, unfortunately could not attend. I saw the first one was young. was terrible. We're doing the accountant Yes, because we hadn't seen the But we were like, Ben's got a movie at South by We should see what those other ones about So we got we you know

The three of us were in a nice rented house for the week You know all settled in got it set up Watched the accountant one on the TV And going into accountant too I was like man That accountant one sucked It was like high on its own supply way too self serious.

fuck dude accountant too. A lot of fun. I think Ben's gotten better at this. If you've seen accountant one folks, this one doesn't deal with like the weepy trauma of being a baby. We've seen enough of that. Thank God the franchise is moving on from that. And John Baranthal, like I know it's almost a star making performance.

I know he's a star, get him in action movies. He doesn't need to be paired with Ben Affleck. I think between this and like him, you know, playing the Punisher again, you know, on this new Daredevil show, like the dude just has those chops for those kinds of movies. And while I don't want to see him fall into like a DTV kind of thing. I do. I love watching those. I mean, but I think, like, like, like, I think, but I think, like, I mean, but I think like him start making some higher profile things. Like, if Jason Statham movies can go to the movie theater, I think John Berenthal in a similar ilk could get there as well. I mean, Liam Neeson still hanging around there doing the thing. Oh, yeah, you'll still see that guy haunting theaters. That's John Baranthel can't get through because he's, right? He's tall and he's constantly wetting his pants. But, yeah, the movie drops all of the, I'm actually seeing a bunch of people in the chat, like, really?

first one blue, but, but, but, but part of it is, but, but part of it is, like, like, like, like, like, like, that was the shit where I was like, excuse me, I thought this was a movie about a dude, uh, who does some accounting for the mafia and then also is like a part-time assassin. And there's so little of it in that first fucking movie. There's way more accounting. But I will say, though, bit of the bummer. I know I just complained about too much in the first movie, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, it's, like, it's like, it's true. He's like, sensing patterns so he could pick up, uh, square dancing or whatever, line dancing on the fly. And honestly, real big crowd pleasing moment. It was, yeah, you just have to turn your brain off with this one. It's a lot of fun. The actual plot really is inconsequential. It probably doesn't really make sense. I don't even know what they were getting at with that girl. But hey, Yeah, we're trying to find We're trying to find out of some shit

And all I can remember is Ben Affleck And the two of them killing people In like amazing fashion It was a lot of fun I was very surprised I almost didn't even want to go to this thing It was a pat They filled the goddamn theater for this thing

People were and find the accountant merchandise I'm like who are these people Accountant heads dude They're just out there in droves There are dozens of them They're eating good this spring How big was that was uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, what's, uh,

and then look at, look at John Bernthal's head and then look at Ben Affleck's head. And they're, they're also, that Bernthal has a big hat. You know what I mean? Like, you can see right now that Bernthal has a cat. But they're also gandolphing him slightly because Ben Affleck is just so. We were walking into the theater. He was doing the red carpet and, uh, the guy in front of me was being too slow. And the, the line, they were like pushing him ahead because he wanted to get a shot of bad aflex back of his head. Real cool. I was waiting for fucking Michael the day before. Probably. Probably. Uh, uh, but yeah, that that wraps it, man. This account in two is at 425 from, uh, Amazon MGM. Good God, I have to say that. That stinks. Um, but it's getting put out

in theaters. Go see it in the theater. This is the exact kind of like mid slash big level action movie that you want populating a ecosystem like it's not going to be fucking be a huge fucking marvel for whatever but like support that movie it'll be a lot of fun and they say they're already working on a third one this is how you get more beekeepers folks

support some action movies in the theater Sean you see that beekeeper with Jason Statham yet I haven't I have to tonight tonight we'll go back to the rented place in Austin we fire up the beekeeper book a flight we're watching the beekeeper. But yeah. But yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh, but yeah. Uh, uh,

, uh, uh, uh, it's gonna do it. Uh, our South by Southwest coverage, uh, from this year's festival. It was a lot of fucking fun. Uh, big thanks to South by for putting on a great show. And, you know, all their volunteers. Um, amazing. Um, amazing. Uh, no issues, you know, really busy. Very busy. A lot of lines, a lot of people, but sure. That's what the beers for. One big issue, but we won't go into, well, there was a one of the movies got kind of can't. We were in lines. We were in line. for a while, but it was a great festival. It was a while. It was a while. It was a while than you'd think. The thing I'll say about festivals is like you can wind up in a lot of different places. You can wind up eating Little League pizza in the snow in Park City and saying, boy, we're at Sundance. Isn't this great? I'm so glad I can't get into a restaurant. Or you can be in Austin and Southwest West. which is like a big, like corporate, kind of like a big, kind of like, kind of like, kind of like, because they have the music festival, they've got all this stuff.

But to be honest, it's just like a chill vibe. People are having a great time. You can eat breakfast tacos and barbecue to your heart's desire. And that makes a real difference. And the weather. The weather helps too. Oh, yeah. We had some like sort of like yo-yo weather a little bit.

It was like super fucking cold one day, which was very surprising. but you know, the cartoons told me, the cartoons told me was supposed to be hot, so I was ill-prepared. The cartoons don't love to me again. Sean, one more time, man, just go ahead, plug UFO where folks can find stuff and all that good stuff. Yeah, please check us out. We're at UFO-films.org.

the guy in the movie the guy he was shoveling his shit and when you listen to the episode this is the toy picture that I'm talking about on the episode where I feel his man breasts are a little bigger on the toy than they
