Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of iHeartRadio.
Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind at a listener mail. My name is Robert Lamb.
And I am Joe McCormick, and it is Monday, the day of each week that we read back messages from the Stuff to Blow Your Mind email address. If you have never gotten in touch before and would like to try it out, you can reach us at contact at
stuff to Blow your Mind dot com. Whatever you want to send us fine, We of course especially appreciate if you have feedback to recent episodes or something interesting you would like to add related to a topic we've talked about again, that is contact at stuff to Blow your Mind dot com.
That's right, the absolute best way to get in touch with us and or provide feedback on the show.
Okay, today I was thinking about doing our ordering a little bit differently. Normally we talk about some responses to core episodes and then we get into some weird house cinema messages. We've got a lot of weird house cinema messages in the backlog that we haven't been able to get to in the past few weeks, so I thought maybe we would just jump right into Weird House responses and then see what else comes up.
All right, let's do it. What do we have?
Okay? This first message comes from Adam. Adam says, Hello, Robin Joe. My name is Adam from up in Canada and I've been a listener of the show since being introduced to it by my girlfriend back in September of twenty twenty. The installment I look forward to with the most enthusiasm each week is Weird House Cinema, and I was thrilled to see you were looking at another Vincent Price picture. I think this must have been when we
did Doctor Five's rises again. Adam goes on. Recently, my mother was telling me about which TV shows frightened her most when she was a child, leading to my discovery of a fascinating Canadian TV show that heavily features Vincent Price. And the show is called The hell Hilarious House of
Frightenstein from nineteen seventy one. I don't believe it was very popular, so I'd be surprised if you'd seen it, but this odd sketch show might be worth a quick glance, not for Weird House, but for the sake of interest. The show centers around the titular Count Frightenstein, a green skinned vampire whose quest is to electrically reanimate a stitched
together body. Sketches with him and his servant Igor are broken up with those featuring a cast of other horrifying hosts, the Wolfman, Griselda, the Witch, the Librarian, and many others. This mashup of genre staples is delightfully fun, but another aspect I found interesting was the production. They filmed all of the shows one hundred and thirty episodes, each taking a one hour TV slot, over the course of only
nine months. Unsurprisingly, over the course of filming this huge amount of show, the main actor Billy Van estimated that near the end it was only around five percent scripted, and I watched a bit of the show. This does seem correct based on what I saw. So Adam goes on Price's floating transparent head introduces us with sinister laughter
to each episode. In his role as the narrator. Decked out in strange costumes, he recites a short rhyming story about each zany parentheses and sometimes unfortunately culturally insensitive character that is about to feature in the next sketch. The show's creators wanted a big horror name, so they managed to get Price in and out of Toronto for his scenes at least three unique scenes per episode in two and a half days.
Oh wow, Yeah, I was thinking for a show of this, the obvious limited budget and limited audience, Price was a big get. I don't think he worked cheap in the heyday of his career.
Yeah, so I guess they had to write all of his stuff out in advance for wow, for all of these episode, for one hundred and thirty episodes, all of the Price segments, and film them all in a couple of days. That's crazy.
Yeah, it seems like towards the end of it, you're probably just telling Price, Okay, just say something, we'll make an episode around it. Just whatever comes to your head. We we got five minutes left. Just let it go.
Adam goes on for anyone interested. There are full episodes on YouTube, perfect to be on in the background when you need some spooky and silly vibes. Thank you both for all you do. And as Price signed off every episode of the show, the castle lights are growing dim. There's no one left but me and him. And here he apparently nods toward Bruce which is the name of doctor Frettenstein's monster which is behind him, and then the rhyme goes on when next we meet in franken Stone,
don't come alone. I don't know what franken Stone means.
I guess that is the castle like Castle franken Stone and then frightened Stein's monster. Yeah, that's my limited interpretation here.
So anyway, I looked up this show and I watched some parts of one of the episodes. I think it was the first ever episode. Also, I pulled in some screenshots for you to look at rob By the way, can we get a little sample of that sweet opening music?
Now, I do really like that, and I didn't get a chance to more than glance at this show, but i'd love that theme song.
Yeah. So the opening shows us a couple of signs, like on a fork in the road. One way points to Transylvania twelve thousand kilometers and the other way points to Castle Frtenstein. I guess suggesting that Castle Frightenstein is far from Transylvania, and our heroes here who are from Transylvania are like exiled.
So yeah, now I don't know what Frankenstone could possibly be. Maybe Frankenstone is a state of mind.
Franken Stone is like a cool hookah bar that all of the monsters go to. But yeah, so we pan over some some grave markers and dead trees, and then we get a translucent, floating Vincent price head reciting some rhyming poetry about I don't know, just about things that are scary are gonna happen. The font for the title The Hilarious House of Frightenstein is very goose bumps in nature.
It's that like dripping ooze font. And then Rob I pulled in some screenshots for you to look at of the opening sketch, which is just sort of some banter, some hilarious banter between Count Frightenstein and Igor. Here, Igor is like a large bald man with very bushy eyebrows and a very bushy mustache, and he's got like a garden hose around his neck. I think this is part of the skit where he's claiming that he was out on the lawn pretending to be a sprinkler. I don't
fully understand that. But then in the scene, the Count suddenly demands that Egor raise the flag, and behind them they have a flag on a flagpole that what can I see on it? It looks like I see a bat and a storm cloud with lightning coming out of it, and maybe a wolf's Frankenstein head too. Oh okay, okay.
But so they've got a flag, and so the count says raise the flag, which causes Egor to lower the flag, and then he tells him to sing the national anthem, and Igor begins to sing a song that sounds to me like it's being made up on the spot. It is to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic or John Brown's Body, and the lyrics here are gory, gory Transylvania, the werewolves and bats will always maim.
You Sorry, the Residence of Romania.
To me, it gives a strong impression of improv comedy, like it has that rhythm where there sort of pauses between everything where they're thinking, thinking of the next thing to say, and the introductory poem read by Price obviously seems scripted. I mean, he's not making that up on the spot, so you know he's got these rhyming things
to read. But once the characters come out, it really feels like they're just winging it, or maybe they've got a few scripted beats here and there, but they're stringing them together with improvised stuff in between. Oh but then I thought there was an interesting thing. So it's got these different skits and segments, And the very next segment that came on on the show, they bring on Vincent Price to say some more stuff, just say some rhyming couplets while he's wearing a cape. And then after that
there's a science education segment. They go to one of the characters in the castle who is he is the professor, And there's like an animated segment which it shows like an animated hand coming in and pressing a button on a machine that says the professor. But then when he comes out, he sort of dressed up as a mad scientist.
But this host is a real scientist and science educator named Julius Sumner Miller, and he's just doing He's like, I'm a mad scientist, but he's just doing a straightforward, real world accurate science lesson about why and how you can cause metal pipes to sing by applying thermal energy to them.
Yeah. I was just looking this guy up. Yeah, he was a physicist at one point. He had a Carnegie Grant. I mean, not for this show, but for other things, like in the nineteen fifties.
Apparently I'm wondering about the conceit though, I mean, I actually, I guess it's not unique to hear. So he's playing a mad scientist, but he's giving real science lessons. I think there were sort of TV science show hosts like was I don't know, like Beekman's World or whatever. Was He supposed to be like a mad scientist in a way, except he taught real science. There's a weird blurring there.
I think. So mister Wizard, I guess he was a wizard, but you know, still there's a little crossover between wizards and mad scientists. And having always been a fan of mad scientists growing up and at one point wanting to be a mad scientist when I was a child. That was probably the earliest thing that I said I wanted to be when I grew up, and I found I think,
a reasonable compromise on that ambition. But you know, it was even though mad scientists, as we often discuss, you know, a lot of it has it has its roots and fear of science and scientific development. You know, to a kid like it is. It is kind of a perfect angle to get in on to get kids excited about science. You know, it's mad scientists are scientists. They're just really fun and they make monsters for crying out loud, which is a good thing if you're you know, eight twelve.
Right at that age. I mean, the very logic of the show seems to make sense, though it's also weird because Count Frightenstein here is a vampire, but he's trying to he is also a mad scientist because he's trying to reanimate this corpse. Yeah, they're they're stitching together some roles, some archetypes as well.
Yeah, I mean, you're a vampire, you got time to apply yourself to the mad science as if you're so inclined.
You know, I've always thought if one were to obtain immortality, it'd be great to go back and like, you know, get different branches of education, you know, educate yourself and several of the sciences and whatever.
Yeah, Satlle vampires are rarely so farward thinking. But anyway, this show looks like it was a lot of fun. I can see where if you were exposed with us early on, it would have had an impact on you I was looking into it a little bit on Wikipedia. It looks like it was ONCTV in Hamilton, Ontario, so that's not I wasn't exposed to this when I lived
in Canada because I only had CBC. But it looks like I mean, I'm assuming you can get this on YouTube or somewhere, but Wicki says that you can or could get it on two B so it's probably out there in some form or another for folks that want to stream it. Can you should you watch all one hundred and thirty episodes? I don't know. We leave that to you.
Can your heart stand the shocking facts of Frtenstein? Okay, let's see Rob. Do you want to do next? Message here? Take your pick?
All right? This one comes to us from Andrew. Andrew says, hello, gentlemen. As always, thanks for the pod and for the thought provoking content. I had quite a backlog of pods to fill my ear holes, but I did catch up on most of your listener mail to make sure I'm not doubling up Number one. I was shocked, shocked, I say to hear the shade throne at my guy Hans Zimmer during one of the Dune weird House episodes.
I don't remember us throwing any shade at Zimmer. I thought our comments about him were pretty much totally positive, weren't they.
I think as I remember it, our main comment was that Hans Zimmer has scored a lot of films, not all of which are anything you want to see. I understand, okay, but there are definite high points in his career. And I loved his work on Dune. I was listening to it in isolation there for a while, and I love all the Dune memes that make use of that resurrection theme from it with the vocals. But anyway, Andrew continues
as a movie score nerd. His work in multiple Christopher Nolan films, The Dark Knight and Inception in particular, is some of my favorite recent Ish movie music. Don't forget the certified banger, that is, he is a pirate or He's a Pirate. Side note. The song works well if you sing the title to the beat of the music. Second side note. I saw a live performance of this last summer at an outdoor concert venue. Two young boys started fighting with foam pirate swords immediately after the song began.
Their timing was superb. Third side note I did watch the entire Doom mini series on VHS a long time ago, after picking it up from the local library. Even as a twelve year old kid, I could tell it was, let's say, not good. You know, Hans Zimmer is he's touring right now. I you know, free plug for the Hans Zimmer concert experience. But he's like he's like coming into coming to our neck of the woods.
Composers go on tour.
If you're Hans Zimmer, you do, Yeah.
Okay, how does that work? Like you like he tours with an orchestra or does he can believe them?
I think both is the case. Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean some form of Tangerine Dream still tours, no original members. But you know Goblin has toured. You've seen Goblin?
Oh yeah yeah, but but Goblin, I feel like it is more like it's a band, you know. Yeah, They're like there's there's crossover between like the people who wrote the songs and are playing the instruments, or there's some amount of crossover.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not exactly sure how this goes down. I'm assuming orchestra, but is it traveling orchestra? Do you use like regionally available orchestras. I don't know the zimmer fans Zimmerheads, I guess right in and give us more details. Anyway, Andrew is not finished yet. He has more to say Number two. During the Flash Gordon episode, there was mention of the soundtrack by Queen. There was also talk of not knowing any other movies where an original soundtrack directly
relates to the characters on the screen. For that, I would like to present yet another wild eighties movie with the Queen's soundtrack, and just a quick note, it is key that they're There is a difference here between the Queen's score and soundtrack that is Flash Gordon and what is about to be mentioned that is a Queen's soundtrack. It is, of course nineteen eighty six is Highlander. Maybe it doesn't quite meet the letter of the rule, but
I believe the intent is there also. It wasn't until later I realized your coverage of Highlander and Highlander two was in a regular episode of Stuff to Blow your Mind, not Weird House. That set. Apologies for yelling Highlander at my car stereo during the episode.
Well, thank you for feeling the quickening. Now I am not sure about this. I wonder because what was really unique it seemed to me about the Flash Gordon soundtrack was that it was Queen wrote original songs for the movie that had lyrics about the characters and plot of the movie. Is that the case with Queen's music and Highlander? Yeah?
Yeah, I mean it? Oh, ok, yeah, I mean you have track. I mean it's a kind of magic. Maybe feels a little bit vague, but it does get into some of the plot elements, and I think is essential to understanding the plot the first two movies. But then you have you know, gimme the prize. You have don't lose your head? Who wants to live forever? I mean these are all bangers. I love this this soundtrack.
Okay, I didn't realize that. Yeah, well, I'm glad both of the examples we can think of now are by Queen.
Yeah, gimme the prize. One of the like I think the like the heaviest, most metal Queen songs, but not everyone's favorite. My wife does not like it. Freddie Mercury reportedly was not crazy about it either. But I love it. I think it's great.
Oh.
But on the other note, here about us talking about Highlander and more specifically Highlander two in a regular episode of Stuff to Blow your Mind. This is true. This was before Weird House existed, and we have discussed the possibility of coming back and giving at least Highlander to a proper Weird House treatment. There are issues, of course, with the sourcing of the true cut of Highlander two, which of course for us is the theatrical cut Zeist cut.
Yes, some fans on the internet call it. Yeah, there are They tried to re release Highland or two with supposedly superior cuts of the film that take out a lot of the best stuff. I guess the idea is to make it less ridiculous, but all they really did is made it less amazing.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, So that's that's our view on it. So on one hand, part of part of a part of me, I want to I want to wait for Highland or two to the z Ice cut to really be released in a format that I can get behind. I think we were looking into it and at least for a window there. Maybe still if you were in the UK, you can stream the ze Ice cut on Amazon Prime, but I don't know if that's still valid. That might have been like a brief mistake, But there is as yet like no cut outside of a VHS
tape that you can really watch it officially. But on the other hand, we might just go for it and maybe in our own small way we can help push a proper release of the Zece cut in to existence.
I mean, I have a VHS of the correct cut, just a question of can we watch it?
Yeah, but can.
You imagine the audacity of someone trying to re edit Highland or two and say, no, no, no, this movie is not claiming that they're aliens from another planet the gall I can't believe it.
All right. Now back to Andrew's message. Let's see he has a bit about Wikipedia Brown. I don't know, all right, are we done talking about Encyclopedia Brown and Wikipedia Brown? I can't decide. My heart's not in it.
Read as you feel, rob Okay, I'm.
Gonna say I'm gonna skip the de vowed and interesting comments though about Encyclopedia Brown and get to point four in Andrews's email. Four finally some updated Sammy Terry Google News and I feel if you have a note of context on this, Joe.
Well, yeah, just to remind listeners, Sammy Terry came up in previous listener mail. It came up because we were talking about TV horror hosts, people like you know, like al Lewis as Grandpa Munster and and you know a Vampira and el Vira, these people who would host TV shows. Of course Boris karlofft did this with Boris called Carloff's Thriller.
They would host TV shows where there would either be originally produced sort of segments or they would just show pre existing films and that you know, the horror host would be there in some kind of creepy costume to introduce them. And Sammy Terry was one of these. He is a local TV horror host based out of Indianapolis, Indiana, a sort of grim reaper figure with a pet spider named George. And I think Andrew in particular had written in about Sammy Terry in the past.
Yeah, yes, and I believe in reference to the place that he's about to mention here. Scarlett Laine Brewing, whom I am fond of mentioning, updated their tap room last October and it is now the Sammy Terry Dungeon see attached. It's the best kind of kitch. Since I already made reference to a scholastic book fair above. We skipped that one. I should also say the brit that the brewery did a scar elastic book fair last month, which featured a
number of independent horror authors. It was only the second year for the event, but it drew uppards of seven hundred attendees. We had a great time.
Is that scare elastic book fair? Scare?
Yeah, I guess scare scare elastic or scare elastic as opposed to what scar elastic, which I don't I like scarlastic. It also sounds to that thing, but at any rate, yeah, but.
Yeah, anyway, Andrew does attach some pictures here. I guess this is a brewery where people hang out try the different beers. I don't get a flight of beers and hang out in this area that looks like a museum of Sammi Terry. There's like a wall up with clippings all over it and shots from the show and full full sized real life stand ups of Samit Terry in
full costume. They've got a recreation of the set from the show, so it's like a an interior of a castle wall with shield and Haraldry hung up and then skulls in the fireplace.
Very nice, very nice.
That makes me want to try an ipa.
All right, Joe, what else we have here in the old mail bag?
Okay, we got more about Vincent Price Weird House Cinema. This is from Don. Don says. As I was listening to this episode, the episode on Doctor Phib's rises again, I remembered watching part of a horror movie on TV. I snuck out of my room late at night to see my older brother watching a vins In Price movie. The scene I saw had a man in a truck being blasted by sand, seemingly coming out of the Vince. He has killed and reduced to a skeleton. I couldn't
watch anymore. I was horrified. I never saw the film again and never learned the name of the movie, but the scene was etched into my memory. I would occasionally think of it and get a chill, probably why the Saw films put me on Thanks to this episode, I feel confident this is the movie that burned its way into my memory. I can now put a name to the sand blasted face. Thank you enjoy the show, Don Well, thank you, Don Man. I still can't. It came up
in the episode itself. The comparison between Doctor Fibes and Saw because they both do involve absurd, elaborate murder traps. But man, I could not think of movies that make me feel more differently. As I said again, I don't want to spoil anybody's fun. If you like them, that's cool. But I can't stand the Saw movies. They just feel so grimy and depressing and bad. It's just a bad time all around. Whereas the you know, the Vincent Price
murder traps are just they're an absolute joy. They're funny, and they're light and playful. It's you couldn't imagine a more different tone to me.
Yeah, I agree. My friend Dave, who has guest hosted on Weird House a couple of times, I think both times that he's come on the show, I've had to ask him about his Saw fandom, because he's seen them all. He's one of these guys who will once he starts watching a franchise, I think he feels compelled to finish it. But he's not a fan of like the actual torture kills in the show, but he likes sort of the consistency, and there's one in particular I can't remember but he's like, yeah,
it's like a message movie. It's about the healthcare industry in the US, and like the killings are all like morally based. And also it's like, yeah, I mean I can That especially makes me realize, Okay, there's some shared DNA between these two franchises. But yeah, I'm on team Vibes.
You know, there was a time when I would do the same thing, where I'd start watching a horror franchise and I just have to finish the whole thing. We may have talked about it back when this was years ago. Now, I can't imagine making time for it now. But when I watched the first hell Raiser movie and then I was like, I guess I got to watch them all. Man, that was not a good use of my time. Beyond
I don't know. There's some funny stuff going on in the early set, in the early half, but like as it goes on, it just gets more and more into kind of how I feel about the Saw territory. It's just grim and dark and depressing, and there's not very much funny to balance it out.
Yeah, with hell Raiser, you know, I'll go three and four, I'll even go five. But but That's that's.
It for me. Three has it's not great, but it has a bit of a charm about it in that some of the cinnabytes it's got like a technology angle. So some of the cinnabytes are like CD head and camcorderhead.
Yeah, and then four is just a mess in outer space and across time. Very ambitious and creative and it doesn't make a lot of sense. But yeah, I feel like if we were to do a Hell Razor film on Weird House, it would it would be three or four for sure.
Which is the one that has the motorheadzone.
Oh that's three? Yeah, it's like what it's a Motorhead cover of an Ozzie song?
Right? Oh maybe I don't know, Uh, Hell Razor that one.
Yeah, all right, Let's see what else do we have here? You know, we have a lot to talk to kick Let's see, I'm gonna go down to this one from Uh, here's one. It has to do with Star Trek. I'll read this one since I've been watching it. We've been watching a fair amount of Star Trek recently. Let's see. This one comes to us from Lee. Lee says, greetings, Rob, Joe, and JJ. Just a note to throw a film your way for consideration. The movie is the nineteen seventy four
made for TV movie The Quester Tapes. The film is based on a story by Gene Roddenberry, and he wrote the teleplay with Gene Kuhn. Kuhn was heavily involved with Star Trek. The novelization was written by D. C. Fontana, also known for work on Trek. Anyway, I saw the movie on TV when it came out and later stumbled upon the novel. I recently rediscovered the film online as well as the Star Trek connections. The movie was a nostalgic rewatch and even if not for the show, it's
a worthwhile experience. Love the show. I always look forward to each episode. Keep up the great work. Sincerely, Lee. And Yeah, I wasn't familiar with this, but I look with this particular film, but I looked it up. Stars Robert Foxworth of Death Moon Fame, Oh the work Beast, Yeah, Death Moon Fame for us. Death Moon is not I think, widely known outside of weird house cinema and like deep cuts of like TV made for TV horror movies, but it also has John Vernon and Walter Koenig's it looks.
It looks interesting, So color me interested.
You know, Death Moon was not a great movie, but I feel like it it's so important that we did it on the show because everything now, especially anything that's like made for TV at all, makes more sense in light of Death Moon. Like Death Moon is sort of a keystone of understanding that allows you to better see and process all of the rest of low budget and made for TV cinema.
Yeah, and that's an example of a movie that we watch for Weird House that I don't think has ever had I don't remember specifically, but I seem to recall it has not had anything beyond a VHS release. Version we watched was ripped off of what Dutch television.
Yeah, it had a hard baked Dutch subtitles to explain the inside jokes if you weren't around then the movie feature is a character Robert Foxworth, being called a workaholic, and the Dutch translation of that in the subtitles is verk beast.
Yes, all right, what else do we have here?
Oh, we have a message from Katie that's going to bring up an interesting possibility. Katie says, Hi, there, let me first just start by saying, how much. I love your podcast, both the main feed and Weird House. I look forward to listening and learning with you every chance I get. Yesterday, I thought to myself, i'd try writing to suggest a movie to cover, which I have done
once previously. Before I could sit down and do that, I listened to a recent listener mail request that I needed to catch up on, and in it you read another listener's email requesting the five Thousand Fingers of Doctor t. You mentioned that someone had requested that before, and they had because it was me. This tickled me almost as much as when a couple of years ago you read my listener mail requesting return to OZ. I just thought that was a silly coincidence and wanted to let you
know that it made my day. Oh I guess we did return to OZ on the basis of your message.
Then, Oh yeah, there we go. That one was fun.
Anyway, Katie goes on. I stand by that suggestion as a Weird House injury. But what I really wanted to request just now was Dark City. I know you have mentioned it before, and I think that Rob has liked it in the past. Although somewhat mainstream, I think it is strange enough to qualify it's one of my favorite movies. But having three kids now I pretty much only get to watch family content. I love to get my fix
of strange cinema through listening to YouTube. Thanks for everything you do, and I hope you both are having a lovely spring. Best Katie now, Katie, that is a really interesting idea. I also very much loved the movie Dark City for a while. It was kind of obsessed with it. I think when I was my late teens or so, I saw it for the first time and I just was I was like, wow, it captured my imagination. I haven't watched it in a long time now, but it seemed to me back then to be a movie that
was really sort of overperforming its cultural reception. Not that people generally thought it was bad, but it just seemed to me not a very much noticed movie, and it was like way more worthy than it got credit for.
Yeah, it did seem to be like weirdly under the radar, or it had that feeling. Anyway, it definitely had its champions. I remember Roger Ebert was a huge fan of Dark City, and yeah, his review was glowing. I think he might have even been on a commentary track for it, you know, he was that big of a fan. But yeah, I
love Dark City. I'll still stand by it being a great movie, but I haven't I haven't watched it in about ten years, and it's probably longer than that since I gave it like a dedicated proper viewing.
It's also one where I know that there are a couple of different cuts out there, and the different cuts have the people who like them better or worse like they're I think with the sort of director's cut or whatever it's called, like it omits the voiceover narration from Keefer Sutherland's character. And that's a thing that some people they used to like say, oh when you show people Dark City and the original cut, like mute the audio during the opening narration because it spoils so much. And
I don't know. I saw it with the audio and I liked it fine, But that may there may be something to that. I don't know.
I don't know. Yeah, I already know the twists that are coming, so I don't know that that would greatly benefit me at this point, but worth keeping in mind anyway.
Good suggestion, Katie, Yeah.
Keep the suggestions coming. You know, we've a number of our our entries in Weird House Cinema have been based on listeners suggestions. Sometimes you know that suggestions, don't they just sort of remain somewhere on the list. Other times, you know, we really got to check him out. I know we've had a few different people calling for Demon
Seed from the seventies. I remember being impressed by the robot in this, But I don't know, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to take a look at Demon Seed before we can commit to talking about it on an episode of Weird House.
I feel like that's come up as a possibility and I glanced at it and I was like, that looks kind of gross. I don't know if I want to talk about that.
Yeah, but it is. I was looking up a little information about it. It is noteworthy that Robert Vaughan is the voice of the robot and he literally phoned in his performance allegedly. I haven't done a lot of fact checking on this, but like, this was the seventies and you know, there was obviously there was no zoom or what have you, and he just straight phoned it in. So kind of admirable.
I have to say, did we previously do a segment when Robert Vaughan was in some movie we covered about his about his like lawyer spokesperson gigs.
We did, Yeah, what was it? It was the space.
Movie, Oh a Battle beyond the Stars.
Yes, yeah, we talked about him in that. Yeah.
Somewhere around the house here, I've got a magnet, like a fridge magnet that's got Robert Vaughan on it, looking like Polly Walnuts from the Sopranos. And he's wearing a suit and he's saying this, whatever you know, Johnson and Johnson will fight for you. Yeah.
And then the small Texas lawyer may not look like this. A lawyer may not resemble Robert Vaughn. Robert Vaughn is not a lawyer and should not be a legal advice should not be accepted from Robert Vaughn personally.
But he does look like he means business. Okay, we're gonna need to call today's episode there I believe.
So we're gonna go ahead and shut the book on this episode, but keep them coming if you have thoughts on past, present, and future episodes of the Core. Stuff to blow your mind, episodes, Weird House Cinema episode odes, Monster fact artifact, Aamalia stupendium, other listener mail episodes, or just generally things you think we might be interested in write in. We would love to hear from you. Listener Mail publishes on Mondays in the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast feed.
