in the gallery our Bollywood Cinema Club's Chris Dashu. When I was cutting my birthday cake when I was four years old, I cut my finger. Mom and the life and Times of Captain Barney Miller's mister Mike White. I'm going to go to another planet where there are people just oh man, all right, more beautiful depending on who you are. It's all in the I of the Beholder. We are discussing Season two, episode fourteen. This aired on

December the twenty ninth, nineteen seventy one. Happy New Year, everybody. This one is broken into three segments. Those are the Different Ones. Tell David Dot dot dot and Lagoda's heads item number one over there. It could be a gentleman sitting in an electric chair, but it isn't what it depicts. Isn't a sense a method of execution that we humans reserve for other humans who happened to be dissimilar to us. You're about to look under that hood

and meet firsthand one of the Different Ones. Tonight's first excursion into the realm of the unusual. The Different Ones was written by Rod Serling and directed by John Meredith Lucas. It stars Dana Andrews, who, from what I hear said, Prunes gave him the ruins. Also stars God Damn Muses, Monica Lewis, and John Corcus. This is the tale of a father's decision on

whether or not to shoot his deformed son into space. What do you think, Mike, I was waiting when you said his decision to shoot his deformed son in Uh. Did I see the twist coming a mile away? Yeah? Was it satisfying though? Yeah? It still was were the make of effects? Okay? Yeah? I mean that kid looked horrific. I don't know what was going on with him. He looked like bat Boy or right

on, Yeah, good call bat Boy, Joe. I don't know if you guys know, but according to Weekly World News, bat Boy has joined up. So oh, okay, join yeah, army, Hey, you gotta put those wings to good you somehow did bat Boy have wings? Had? Can you imagine the damage? I assumed he had small wings on his back? Fair enough? Oh okay? Uh? Yeah. I enjoyed this one. I thought it moved along pretty quickly. It didn't keep us waiting around for a while. I did like the how this was in the future.

I think I saw someplace that this was turn of the century, but then I didn't realize which century. So I was kind of happy with all the teles screens and all these modern gadgets that they have I like that. Like, I don't know about you guys, but I don't use the phone, and this is the only time that actually communicate with people where I actually

see their faces. It's pretty rare. So it's not the everyday thing that they predicted and possibly promised that we would have in the year two thousand. What about you, Chris. It's a blackout sketch that's ten minutes long. I mean, isn't it two minutes long? Oh? Sorry, sorry I was I was off by half. Yeah, I mean it's a blackout sketch. It's I of the Beholder. It's fine. I think it's fine.

Dana Andrews plays a bad father. I don't know how else to put it, but like, well, my son is ugly, I must send him to the moon, like all right, better than sure, Like I guess so, I guess so I thought they were I thought they were going to keep that hood on a lot longer, a lot longer, right, I don't. Oh my god, the makeup effects are just grotesque, grotesquely you

know what he looks like? What were those things the underwater things that were like the flintstones, and they were like the underwater jetsins you know I'm talking about. He looks like one of those I know you're talking they're the weird thing on top of their head. He has this, Yeah, he looks like he is a He has like weird like protrusions that come out of the top of his head. It's gross, it's weird. Don't be mean to someone who looks different. Come on, like what bubble guppies? Okay,

okay, it's fine. What did you think father Loane? I was wondering why, as malformed as he is, he chose to war the bestag over his head while at home. That was an interesting move, right. Also, he's so malformed, he's just too malformed to live on his own. What's funny is the decision for Dana Andrews to finally seek help comes because of taunting children outside chanting nan yak, you're ugly, and he gives this speech about how I chase them away, but they come back, and I worry.

I worry about what happens when I'm not. How about you soundproof the fucking house or not. You don't even need to to expend any money here. Go talk to those children's parents and say your children are monsters, and then that might go away. The makeup send my child to the Moon is the appropriate response to my child being bullied is to send them far away where they've never been. I heard that's the best. The best thing you can

do as a parent is shun your child. This reminds me of that film Trick or Tree, where a group of parents decide that they're no longer going to deal with their handicapped children, so they put him in a bus and have it driven off of a cliff. It's kind of the same thing here. The makeup. I like the makeup. I think it's really this is nineteen seventy one on a television show that we know. We know the budgets, we know their schedules, so I thought the makeup is actually pretty effective.

And they they recreated the makeup of a lot at the end with the different characters, which I thought was really effective. However, at the same time, it campt reminding me of Lee Bowery. Young Fellows remember Lee Bowery. It's boy George's mentors and used to do this makeup. Lee Bowery was bald and would do a black splotch on the top of his head and then the different like pools of black going down his face. That was his makeup

thing, and that's all. I think. They turned it into a play a few years ago called Taboo by a few I mean like a decade or two year ago. Anyway, I agree with you, Mike. I thought the production design on this one was pretty great because we're in the future. But they're just slight variations, Like he has the televisual you know, communication devices chair that seems very lived in, and there's a screen and a little

it all seemed very ergonomic and I like that a lot. Also, apparently you can just call the government and talk about the you call the deformed Children's branch. It's urban the urban issues that have urban problems. Chevy Chase has urban problems. It's like his deformed son. I don't I guess, yeah, only people in the cities have. But here's the question that I have his kids not deformed? No, he's a mutant, right, yeah, this is no, but but no, no, but but no, no,

that's still not the case. Because a planet of these people exist where they all look like that. We don't know that. This is a reason. Did he just happen? Yeah? Did he just happen? To come out looking exactly like an alien. Just was Dan Andrews' wife getting bonked by Ete? That's the question that that's a good point because there a human coming back. Was this some sort of exchange program we were unaware of? Right, they impregnated one of ours and we impregnated one of theirs, Like that's

could have been. But they don't really give us time to breathe on it. They make us seem like it's you know, like I of the Beholder, you know, And honestly, what the makeup reminds me of? I kept thinking and thinking, so I had to pull it up and see proto

Odo from Star Trek Deep Space nine. I mean, like, if you have the thing that's on top of his head actually just cover his face and that like weird scar tissue, then it would look like Odo because they do the thing with his nose where they kind of smooth the nose into the face. So oh, I think I'm the makeup's good. The makeup is not my issue with this. It's just like, are you thinking anyone's going to be surprised by the twist? That's my question. It's just a weird story

to tell. If you're not going to just remake eye of the beholder. It's a weird story to tell in that it isn't just this, it's the story of this father and son and they don't understand why this kid is such a weird And then we find out there are aliens involved. There's this government bureaucracy part of it, and this moral decision of this father. Well, I guess I'll have to kill him. Oh wait, there's a chance they

can shoot him into space. Well let's do that instead, because my initial decision was your decision, government, but to end his life, and end his life for what reason? By the way, he seemed like an asshole, the kid. It seemed like a whining prick, and I did not like him. They could have spent some of these twenty two minutes, by the way, twenty two minutes, yes, but it's patted out with nine minutes of footage from NASA and silent thank you and Fahrenheit four fifty one.

One. Thank you so much money for that stuff. The NASA footage is interminable, it's beautiful. I loved watching it. Not going to complain ultimately, but you know that for no good reason there show that that prides itself on having little segments that can just fill in gaps. They've padded this out with stock footage. It was very unusual. They paid a lot for it. I guarantee you that. I mean, it's like they showed all of

it, like all they paid for They showed all of it. There's so much of it, Like you don't need to establish eight times over what's going on. We get it. We get it. I mean, I'm with you. It looks really nice, which I appreciate. But to what end is always my question? Well, they're trying to set mood. No, yeah, patting it. They are setting mood remarkably the music and the visuals kind of hold up. But at the same time, we know what you're

doing. Don't do that now, gentlemen. Right, all they had to do was just play the sound of the engines whirring and deem Andrews looking up and that was beautiful. Right. It honestly stands out more because they show the footage and you know, it's just stock footage, like even in seventy one. It's not like someone's like, oh, that's they filmed that. It's like that's NASA, Like, yeah, they didn't do anything to disguise it. There was no like cross cutting or like dissolving or whatever. It's

like, here's one whole scene that we got from NASA. Here's another whole scene we got from that. Now, gentlemen, All this season, I've been trying to highlight some of the Night Gallery family in front of and behind the scenes. In this case, it's in front of or auditory anyway. This is a sound when when our lead character finally returns to his homeworld that he didn't realize it was his homeworld to begin with. We hear this.

It's a synthesizer sweep plugged into a guitar amp with heavy tremolo, not vibrato. That's a rookie mistake. This one was created by Oliver Nelson, who did a lot of the music on Night Gallery, and this is just some of the stock sound effects he made. It would eventually be picked up and children of the seventies will recognize it instantly as the sound of Steve Austin's Bionic Eye. This got recycled into The six Million Dollar Man. They eventually had

their own sound designer who did a bunch of effects on his own. The end of the sound of the jumping evidently is a metal ruler on the side of a table found that out anyway, I don't know the name of this sound effect particularly, but we know Oliver Nelson created it and it's it's lovely and I just wanted to give it it's do you should give it a name? It's bionic I at this point, which is kind of sad because it was created for a horror television series, so we should call it like a

radar. I'm going to call it the different One. How about that? It reminds me of like a radar painting, you know what I mean? Like yeah, Like it's like a yeah, it's a great one. Yeah, I could see aquamand summoning. You could probably stick it into any genre and really get away with it. But you know, it was nice to hear here. Jealousy is what we normally pay grade, and jealousy provides the springboard of this particular painting. It offers up the bottom line of what can

happen to human beings when trust is wiped out by suspicion. At this point, it ceases to be just a kind of titillating tale of human comedy. It becomes what it is a horror story. Our painting is called Tell David. All right. Our next segment is called Tell David. This was written by Generald Sandford, based on a short story by Penelope Wallace, and directed

by vip Here at the Night Gallery mister Jeff Corey. This one stars Sandra d Jenny Sullivan, Jan Shatan, and Castle Thunder makes an appearance in here speaking of sound. This one is the story of a jealousy prone wife and the young couple she accidentally encounters, a couple whose husband looks suspiciously like her own husband, only with a mustache. Chris, what do you think of this one? Father Malone? I want you to keep in touch because we'll

think of something. Well, that's what this reminded me of. This reminded me of that episode ten, segment two of the second season of this show, the Alex Cord episode segment it. I get the story that they're telling, but they tell you what they're going to do. By the end of it, all I could think was, what's what am I supposed to gain from this as an audience member? Because the story plays out the way you said it would and it's not I it's not particularly entertaining. The acting's fine,

it's fine. It's not like that Alex cord One in quality wise, it's much better than that. But yeah, yeah, great, Yeah. The thing about the thing of characters not recognizing someone else even though it's the actor playing the same like a different person, but it's the same actor.

You have to explain that otherwise the audience is going to ask whether or not all the characters in the scene are fucking crazy because he looks like her husband hard stop period, because it's the same actor, he has facial hair, and yet they're just whatever. Oh, I guess it's for the audience's benefit. I don't know. It's a poor choice that gets in the way of ah otherwise mediocre segment. I liked this. I liked the idea of it. I like that she takes a wrong turn and suddenly ends up in what

was it the distant year of nineteen eighty nine? I think it was, and there's only one brand of cigarettes. Oh boy. I will admit that I didn't actually realize it was the same actor playing both roles at first, so she came on me, Sandra D I think this might be the first time I've actually seen sander Die. I mostly know her from the song from Greece, so that was kind of nice to see why they would sing about her because she's very pretty. Her jealousy comes very sudden and it's very strong.

And then I kept waiting and please remind me if this happens or not. I kept thinking that when she finds her husband with right, I thought for sure. I thought for sure the nanny thank you. I thought for sure it'd be like we were just rehearsing a scene from a plate or something like that, some sort of like explanation like the ironic turn, you know, is what I was really hoping for. But didn't get it though. And if anything, Yeah, if anything, I'd be jealous of that aunt

because she was really smoking hot. Yeah. I also like how the aunt has the most distinct last name and she's like some something Blessington. It's like, why are you questioning this? When she tells her husband, he's like, I don't believe any of this. Is like okay, fine, Well what's funny is she makes no effort to change the future here, right, She just she gets that gun immediately. She's like, she doesn't miss it, so she keeps getting confirmations of the fact that she has interacted with her

son. But yeah, as I said, does nothing at all to act on that at all. And this one confounded me, honestly, because I wasn't joying it until she gets home and we see the husband. And then if this is the sun, the sun has a picture of the mother, then he would recognize her and she her first words out of her mouth should have been, oh, my god, you look exactly like my husband. That's my point that houses knowing how well one another look like anything else.

I'm startled if I meet another human being who resembles one of my partners in any way, you know what I mean. So to have someone who is so obviously him is absurd. I liked his GPS machine. Hey, look at that for Precians. That was kind of cool. That was awesome. I mean, that's kind of what they looked like when they first started. I like her aversion to the music. I liked her aversion to the music. What is this? What is this wrecket? What is this? It's

called electronic music. I wanted to say, effects your kids will get it. Your kids will get it. All of David's equipment, by the way, looked as impressive and just as scientifically sound as anything found on Ghost Adventures. Oh hey, in fact, now I take it back. This stuff actually looks good. Double. I gotta cut on my hand. Yeah, you mentioned it at the top, Chris. Oh, look, the kid

cut his hand. She's not even like doing that. She knows. He mentions that he's cut his hand, and now she's witnessing it happen, and doesn't bother to intervene when his son cut cuts himself. No, I just don't know what the story. I know what the story they're telling is. I just don't understand the motives behind any of it. Is this a character piece? I guess the moral is don't let jealousy overcome you, because it can drive you to murder. But the jealousy that the Sun is describing to

her is an unfounded jealousy. The jealousy she encounters is real, Like, it isn't even a moment, There's no moment where the character thinks to herself like, well, I can change that, Like I can get over the jealousy thing because I know it's not real. Now oh it is real, and now I have to kill that. There's no even considerations it drives me crazy. Sandra D. By the way, again, I'm with you. Mike had never seen her actually on screen, only to her from that goddamn

song. She's really beautiful. In the first note I wrote was Wow, Sandra D's great, Like, she's really solid in this even though she's given crazy directions that she doesn't recognize the sun that you know anyway. For me, the one of the biggest bizarre decisions that the episode makes is they have her go back. Normally in these kinds of stories, like they go once and it's like, oh, I was walking in the rain and then I came upon this house and it's like, yep, and that's exactly what happens

here. But then it's like, come on back for another hangout, and she does, which means she can just go visit him. I guess whenever she wanted too, So like it makes no sense why she does what she does knowing that she can just go and visit him too at any point, Like it's it. I mentioned that Alex Cord episode not because of the similar tone but also the similar waste of time because I don't I didn't understand there what they were going for, and I don't understand here what they're going for,

because yeah, is it is this woman overcome by jealousy? Sure, but man, honestly, how have we not mentioned the weirdest scene in this entire segment when she comes home from her son's place and the husband is screaming at her in an old lady mask. How has no one mentioned this yet? It's like it's upsetting and bizarre. And I guess he's making fun of her, is what we're led to believe, but it's like it's so bizarre just initially, and then I mean, I think all the way through its

was are but what the fuck? Yeah? They because they hadn't established that she was a jealous shrew and it, Yeah, I don't buy it because it comes out of nowhere. And that scene was so upsetting that I didn't even really make the connection that, you know, I like, I realized, oh, he's supposed to be being her, but that I was like, this doesn't make any sense because she hasn't exhibited any of this behavior. And then when the jealousy comes up later on, it's too far removed from

it. There's not enough closeness there to be like, oh, okay, yeah, she is really jealous, like there should have been something there, because I mean, I've got friends that have or had jealous spouses and they were freaking nuts and it wasn't just nuts like at one time there would be nuts all the time, but Sanderde seems like a very normal, well adjusted

person. And then at the end, after she ends up killing him, I'm like, Okay, well, now do the next logical thing, which is I'm going to escape into the future so they can't prosecute me for my crime. But no, she just why didn't she do that? It would have been too interesting, would have made too much sense. Absolutely, I don't know, like narratively would have jelled right, and it narratively would have jelled in a way that this just ends up feeling like it's just spinning its

wheels. It's treading water, Like I don't get what the point is. Ultimately, Look, this is because she just does exactly what they say that

they're going to do, Like, what's the point. The story's point of view is that this has faded and it's going to happen, and it's a quirk that she happened to be allowed to have an interaction with her future son and see that he's going to be okay, by the way, So she does go back that second time, and before that when she's there the first time, and she's noticing all this bizarre future equipment, and they give her the cigarettes which on it on the front, by the way, say no

tar, no nothing. In fact, this is good for you, and this is weird, and then turns it over. She turns it over and the date is right there. It says nineteen eighty nine. It's and it's not. She didn't have to like look at the tiny letter. It's pretty bold. When she goes back the second time, Okay, we get that she's not gonna make the connection that this is her son yet, but wouldn't you be like, can you show me that machine again? How does that

work? That's so weird? Can I see those cigarettes again? Hey? Look at that thing? What does this do? Why does why is there a screen on your phone? Like just a human being would have these questions also in the future. Apparently free love is the thing. Did seem that I get? Right? Yeah, that's definitely some polyamory going on. And again it's like it's used in this weird spot where it's like, well,

you don't get upset when you're when your husband kisses another woman. And she's like, yeah, no, one gives a fuck, And it's like, what the fuck does that have to do with anything? Like I get what you're driving app but like, okay, Rod Serling, I guess that was his envisionment of the future is just sex and GPS machines, raw and cigarettes that don't give you a chance. He was, really, that's the one thing I could see him. Yeah, it's the Pacific cigarettes. Ride is

really excited about. We've gotten all the other gadgets, but still none of that. I guess, you know, so we switched a bathing. I suppose also there are not Yeah, there's no free love people talk about him, or at least there are not enough revolver drawers and desks these days. Seems to be that there used to be every desk had a revolver in a drawer. Very convenient. Here they could have by the way, they could

have frontloaded. And when she tries to use the phone in the first scene, she's all, I just want to call and let my husband know where I am. That was the perfect time to say, I'm going to call my house because my husband better be there because he's I'm you know, like put in the jealousy right from the get go, Like were they worried that we were going to like her as a character, Like, it's so much better that she kills him and then kills herself in prison after she knows you

can happen. Does nothing to change that fact anyway. There was a nice focus dissolve into a solarization here, Jeff Corey threw. And there are a couple of nice little camera tricks that I really appreciated here. Jeff Cory is getting more and more confident as a filmmaker here on that guy. It's nice to see the progressional. They just need to give him a better script to direct, right. This is a double it's a two for this episode,

gentleman, because this next episode also features a particular sound effect. This one here it is it's the next one takes place in a jungle, so naturally you're gonna hear oh, and it's featured quite a bit in that that's a Kuka Bara. The track is just called Kuka Barra that first made its debut in nineteen thirty eight in a Tarzan cereal and then was immediately followed with Appearances and Wizard of Oz and literally everything since then taking place in a jungle.

Interesting fact, of course, is that a kuka bara is a native to Australia. Where does it sit, Father Malone? It sits in the old gum tree, Mary, Mary, King of the bushes. See everybody laugh, kukabara laugh, coucabara gay, his life must be anyway. I don't understand why the kukerber shows up everywhere but Australia. The noise is so distinctive. I guess it's because it sounds like a monkey, right. It sounds enough like a foreign animal. Is it a monkey? Is it a bird?

I don't know. It sounds like it's laughing at us. It's a great it's a great jungle sound. That's the best superhero that hasn't Is it a monkey? Is it a bird? It's monkey bird man. That's the thing. Like, I guarantee you play that for ten people and half of the people might think it's a monkey. Oh yeah, right, I think I did for many years, honestly. Yeah. But hey, we're in

the jungle. I number three in the night Gallery. You'll probably recognize this quaint figurine the dead eyes and the son lips, a kind of thing that usually in fast nightmares, and what happens to be precisely what it is, a nightmare of the first order. It's titled Lagoda's Heads. Indeed we are in this segment called Lagoda's Heads. Written by Robert Block, author of Psycho Robert Block, from a short story by August Derlat directed by my favorite Jena

Zuark. All three of them should have known better. This one stars Patrick McNee, Brock Peters, Denise Nicholas, and Tim Matheson and a terrible mustache. It's the tale of an explorer who escorts an American in search of his

brother in the darkest jungles of Africa. I was really worried at the outset on this one, guys, but I think this was a respectful presentation as respectful a presentation as possible while still requiring Starfleet Admiral Cartwright to speak in Pigeon English while wearing a dashiki, which I think of this one, Mike, Yeah, anything that has brock Peters in it, I'm pretty happy with.

But mostly just when he's on screen. Denise Nicholas, she looked so familiar, And then I went back and I looked at her filmography and yeah, I've seen a bunch of stuff that she was in. I want to say she was in Uptown Saturday night, I'm pretty sure. Or yeah, let's do it again, one of those of the Cosby Potier films. But yeah again, did I see the twist coming? Yeah? Yeah, I sure did. Did I want to see more of those heads? And did I want to see them talk and do other kind of cool things? I sure

did it. That didn't really get to see that one, but at least I got to see a very young Roger E. Moseley with kind of a bad accent come in and tell them that that Lakota or Lagoda has died. So it was kind of neat. And then yeah, Tim Matheson and that ridiculous mustache. I didn't even recognize him at first until I heard his voice. But yeah, it was okay again. And I feel like this one went on for a little too long. How long was this one? Was

this another twenty? Yeah? This one was right. This has been an episode of with mediocrity. It's fine, I mean yeah, like Mike said, the twist can be seen from orbit for fuck's sake, Like I for let me put this way. For an episode segment called Lagoda's Heads, there is not enough head here, enough of the heads doing stuff. The heads of Lagoda's heads are not present enough to call it Lagoda's Heads. And the question then becomes, how did the heads kill him? Uh? They summoned

forces or they chewed him up themselves. I don't know. Maybe they came off the mob the second The second answer came off the log exactly the Tim burtonization of them. Yeah, what about you, father? What do you think? I think having a shrunken head nook is important when you're buying a new home. Does it come with or without the stick? Is the stick concluded? I would assume so, otherwise it's just a nut. I like that they go, they arrived. It's always great to see Patrick McNee,

by the way, you know John Steed. But they go into the hut to talk to a Lagoda, and Lagoda clearly speaks English. But for some reason, Tim Mathison keeps talking to Patrick McNee as if he's a translator. Ask him about my brother, like I think he heard you just then he'll

probably answer you if he so chooses. Also late in the episode, Tim Mathison exclaims at one point, and most people would have said, my god, he says, mother of Satan. It was I had to relind you it'd be a good by the way, it's dumb bala, just the word. I kept waiting for Chunky to come running out because they had dumb bala while they were, you know, talking to the heads. I don't know, not enough. There weren't enough of the heads. I was intrigued by

the heads. I was hoping one of the heads would come to life, just one of them, at least one. Why it's called it's called lagatas fucking head show. The thing to go to his head's wind machine is what we get. Just like they all just sort of vibrate a little and hears some sounds and somebody's just shaking it off screen, just oh, they're moving. The actor you mentioned Mike earlier, who comes in to tell them that Legot is dad, and you're saying, he's doing a really weird accent.

Like all I could think was like you could just see him bristling against this bullshit native dialogue that they all three of our sort of principal leads have been saddled with just rankling at it, like, can I just speak in a full sentence like, yeah, by the way, what year was this? Was? This supposed to be the two is a century because it could have been really any time. It might have been nineteen seventy one for all we

knew. Yeah, I wanted to say round this time, Rogerie mostly was doing the mac where he was a African nationalist, so much different character and something. I think, Yeah, he just seemed like uninterested and you just wanted I'm saying the words. Here are the words, right, this is what you wanted? And good for him? Yeah, that where's my check? I hope everyone got paid? Because you know, you're right, Chris,

this is It's not terrible, it's just there. This entire episode was just kind of there, which I suppose is better than a bad episode. But still, this is an episode that began with the boy who predicted her earthquakes, and we need to be shooting higher folks. It's not enough. It's not enough that Sandra d is gonna die after killing her. It's just not She's gonna kill herself. Don't forget she's straight up. They go, oh, you're gonna kill yourself, By the way, like great, just

first like sort of time travel plump. I've ever seen, honestly where the characters are uninterested at all in changing their face.

He gives the message, but the message had already been given, that was faded as well. It's like this

Whatever this is is not that well. It's supposed to be a supernatural tale, but we

don't see anything happen at all. We don't even get to see all we know Denise Nicholas just killed him, like and just put his head there anyway. He's like, who knows, Oh, yeah, the head's killed him or I just did it? And who gives a ship Like it would have been good had she said, well, no, it was me, I killed your brother. There's nothing you can do about it because I got these heads now, baby, that would have been great. Yeah. Instead it was like, oh, I know he killed by did he killer? We

don't get any of that information to get those headstocking. Come on, they got mouths unstitched. Man, It's fine. This episode is better than some of them this season, which is not saying much, but it's saying more than you would think it's saying enough. Yeah, I agree it is. You use the word nothing burger. I don't tend to use that too often, but I would say this is all that and no bag of chips.
