[00:00:00] The battle for the mind of North America will be fought in the video arena. The television screen is the retina of the mind's eye. Therefore, the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain.
[00:00:30] Okay, here we go. Episode 31. Jason is here. Hello, you should probably tell everyone we're listening to The Outer Reels. Yeah, we are. Our 31st episode of that. Welcome to another episode of The Outer Reels. And we have quite an out of reel tonight. Yeah, this one drove me to drink, Sam. I had not heard of it. Stumbled across it. Loved the poster. Absolutely loved the trailer.
[00:00:59] Figured we have to watch this. Yep, I agreed. And that was a hard fall. It is wild because it's simultaneously a kid's movie and not. Like... Yes. Yeah, it's swinging 60s kitsch at its most kitschy. And I don't mean in its finest. It's the music drove me insane. Yeah, didn't like the music.
[00:01:28] No, it's... It's pretty well. I usually love music in most things, but I didn't enjoy it. But we should say, the movie is called Argo Man, The Fantastic Superman from 1967. And it is very Italian. Um, I gotta say, um, our hero has a manservant because all heroes in the, from the 40s through the 70s certainly did. Yeah. Um, this guy is a very white Italian who's given some bronzer to look Indian.
[00:01:59] Yeah. It does not work even until like, well, and he's wearing the turban at one point. I was like, I guess he's Indian, but oh my God. Is he had a, was he Raji or something is the name they went by? It was, it was offensive anyway. Just, just... It's funny. He reminded me, he very much reminded me of Peter Sellers in the party. Yeah. From 1967. It plays the Indian. It's the same deal. Yeah. That movie is a great movie. I love that. We should have watched that movie. That's such a good movie. It's a good movie.
[00:02:27] Again, not without its problems, but, uh, you know. So this movie lands in the genre of action adventure and sci-fi where I really don't think it's any of those. I mean, he definitely leans on the playboy bond lifestyle for the main character, but it doesn't really pay off on any of those fronts. No, no, it doesn't.
[00:02:55] I should say that right off the bat that our hero, Argo man has an alter ego of Sir Reginald Hoover. He's supposed to be English, um, appears to live on his own island with his manservant. Right off the bat, you assume he's gay because everything about it looks gay. Um, no, it looks awesome. It's like 60s. I, I do have a note here saying that you must've loved all that leopard print. Dude, this whole house is so sick.
[00:03:24] I was watching it and I was like, Julia, I was like, look at this place. It's so good that the water and the sweat, everything he's got, it's great. His couch and his bed are both attached to ropes in the ceiling. So there's swings. Yeah. Um, yeah. The doors are all automatic and everything, but pools. Yeah. And he's right on the ocean. But at the same time, he, um, has this manservant. It's just him, the two of them on the island, which is why I'm like, looks gay. Although right off the bat. So you don't think he's gay. He's like, I would like the, you know, companionship of a woman.
[00:03:54] And that's when, uh, and it's Chandra. That's his name. The Butler. Um, what is, what is the story of this movie? Well, let me get to there. I'm going about it around about way, but I will get there. We're getting there. Um, yeah. So he is, he's a hero. He's lived, lives on this island. He's obviously, you know, your stereotypical, uh, billionaire superhero, but I should say they don't say how or why he's got these superpowers, which we'll get into.
[00:04:23] Um, but what I can tell you because they tell you right off the bat very early in the movie is that if, if he has intimate relations with a woman, he loses his superpowers for precisely six hours. Like it's to the second it's six hours. It's the silliest way for a superhero to be compromised in the strangest way. Yeah. You know, green lantern can affect yellow. Superman's got kryptonite.
[00:04:52] Acro man can't have an orgasm. He's got women or just women. I, the Achilles heel. Yeah. Maybe it's okay if he's alone or if he's with a dude, but, uh, it's like you can't if he, if he enjoys the, the, uh, the wares of the woman. And we should set up the fact that Reginald Hoover, Argo man is played by none other than
[00:05:15] Roger Brown, who keeps showing up in our shows across many nations and many decades. And he was, as we know, a security guard in the Cassandra crossing, which is a movie I've referenced in this show before, which is, uh, about a virus outbreak on a train that's traveling through Europe. And it was directed by George P. Cosmatis, which is why I know what the movie is because
[00:05:44] he directed first blood part two. And of course, Cobra. And, but I think I, I also mentioned to you that George P. Cosmatis, his son used to sleep on John's couch. That's right. Yes. You did mention that, which is unsurprising for some reason, but, but we do need to mention he was in war of the robots. Yeah. As commander King from 1978.
[00:06:12] We're on 11 years earlier and we're still talking about him, but he also did a voice overdub on a movie from 1977 that looks awesome called heroin busters, which I want to check out. It's like a, it looks like a great cop drama. Um, he only passed away, uh, in 2024. So he had a great run. Like recently. Yeah. Yeah. Recent, recent. He was, uh, yeah, 1930. So he was 94. Wow.
[00:06:40] That's not a bad run. Like I was looking at the style of Argo man when he's in costume. He reminds me of like G one, like Cyclops from X-Men. A little bit. It's, it's the mask, right? It's the, yeah. Which, um, I mean the rest of the costumes just very, uh, 40s style, uh, 50 and 50 style superhero. Cause it, you know, he looks more like a wrestler. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:07:09] But, but he's got a cape and he's wears a ski mask that has this, uh, thin visor on it that they could put a couple of tiny little lights into so that, you know, when his eyes are glowing. So can you tell me what his actual superpower is? So I get the impression it's like a little bit of everything. He's very strong. He's near indestructible and he can breathe for long periods of time underwater. Although he's only down there for like what? Four minutes or something.
[00:07:38] No, it was like 34 minutes, 30 something. And yeah. And he was pushing for 40. Yeah. But, but he got bored and came back up. So, um, so he can hold his breath for a really long time and he's got telekinesis. So, which, uh, a varying strength, like the strength of his telekinesis is all over the place in this movie. It is. Um, early on for him to do like little things seems like a struggle yet at the same time, he's able to pull a hovercraft to the island. Um, he's able to move an airplane.
[00:08:08] He can move a train. He can like, it's just actually, he doesn't move the train. That's the thing. He can't move the train, but he can change the, he changes the, uh, the track switch. Yeah. That's what he does instead. And then he stops the train manually, which I was like, dude, you just use your phone. But I do find it funny cause early in the movie, he has to say it, what he's doing. Like with the hovercraft, he's saying, come to me, come to me, come to me. Right. And later on is that's just gone.
[00:08:34] So I don't know if that's for the audience's benefit that he's actually saying. I didn't read that as him controlling the hovercraft. I read it as him using like mental telepathy and talking into the woman's mind. Oh. And her steering the thing. But when you mentioned it now, I realized that he was actually forcing the hovercraft. Well, he even says it's telekinetics. Right. Cause he's bragging about it. That that's the other thing I want to say is like 90% of the people in this movie.
[00:09:02] No, that's her Reginald is our go man. And except for like Scotland yard, the bumbling British cops. They seem to be the only ones who don't seem to have a clue. And this also is that scenario when I was younger with Superman, where I was like, how come he just puts glasses on and nobody knows who he is? This is the same kind of thing.
[00:09:26] But then I also recall, and you would know what Superman it was in where he like lasers his own brow to change his look or something like that in a mirror. Yeah. Yeah. I guess. Like it's to try and sell it that he looks different, but I'm still like, he looks the same. He just puts glasses on and nobody makes a difference.
[00:09:46] At least with Bruce Wayne, he's wearing a mask, even though it looks like I get it a bit more, but Superman was probably the most on the nose of like, now he wears glasses and nobody knows who he is. The best example for this is there's a meme that goes around that saying, I never understood how no one knew Clark Kent was Superman just because the glasses. And then they showed a side by side picture of Zooey Deschanel from what's it? New Girl or whatever she was in. She was in that movie Elf as well.
[00:10:15] You're rattling off names and movies of things I've never heard of. You've heard of the movie Elf. That's the Will Ferrell one. They shot it here in Vancouver. For Christ's sakes. She's, uh, she's an actress. I know she's probably in her forties, forties now, I guess maybe thirties still, but whatever millennial actress. But they showed a picture side by side of her with glasses and without. And she does look like two completely different people. It is wild. So they're like, well, I guess it is possible.
[00:10:41] Remember in, uh, National Lampoon's loaded weapon when Emilio Estevez on a date with that girl and she's wearing glasses and got her hair up. She's like, let me just change. And she puts her hair down and takes her hair and a glasses of pops up and it's a totally different woman. Yeah. Yeah. No, but with, with the Superman thing, um, it's been retconned a very bit, but to, to try and explain this, but the idea is how he presents himself and how he holds himself as Clark Kent and Superman are very different as well. Sure.
[00:11:11] So, you know, Clark's always sort of hunched and meek and, and it's because of the way his voice is different. Cause like Batman does it too. Batman changes his voice. So, um, and that's, that's a comic thing too. So, uh, I think it was, uh, Frank Miller created that. I think in Batman year one where, um, there was some like news broadcast and his friends are there and they're like, man, does Batman sound like Bruce? And then like Alfred happened to be standing there with me.
[00:11:38] He says, I believe that, you know, Bruce is, you know, his voice is actually an octave or two higher. Maybe you're right. And then, you know, he, he, Alfred tells Bruce, Bruce Wayne to start like, better drop your voice when you're talking to Batman, which to comedic effect in the movies. Cause it just does sound ridiculous. Yeah. Batman, especially I, I always had a problem with the, with Batman talking and as much as I love the Christopher Nolan movies, it's just, yeah, it's just, yeah. Anyway, sorry.
[00:12:07] No, I love, I love, uh, this is your world, man. Like this is a, I will be the first to say none of it works in reality. This is why the boys was so popular, even not even as a TV series is because, um, it treats superheroes as complete assholes and cause they would be, you know, it's, it's like, uh, one of my favorite line in, um, two, maybe it was the first X-Men movie where Magneto says to pyro,
[00:12:38] it's like, what's your name? And he says like, whatever it is. And then, no, what's your, not your slave name. What's your real name? He goes, pyro. And Magneto looks at him and says, you were a God among insects. Right. Or it's a God among ants. One of the two. But anyway, he's just like, just basically telling me you are so far above these people. Like, don't treat them as your equal. They're not. Yeah. So yeah. Well done for portrayal of Magneto. Except Par is supposed to be Australian.
[00:13:06] Not some crummy kid and sitting on a porch waiting for a pube to grow. That is true. They did take it, but. This movie was chosen to be part of a famous German TV series called Schaufaz and on Tele 5. And it's an abbreviation, which means the worst films ever. And in series two, the host presented this whole movie and made fun through it.
[00:13:34] So I think it's like a mystery science theater or something in Germany. Yeah. But this movie topped the bill. Nice. I don't think it's that bad. Like, I had a good time watching it and I certainly had a great time looking at it. It's a great looking movie. It feels, I got the same feels as it, as I did for Latitude Zero, where I just like that style and like the look at like, cause movies don't look like this anymore. I guess so this, um, yeah. So this is very much trying to look like the Batman TV series. Yeah.
[00:14:04] I thought it had just Adam West vibes all over it with look and style and even fighting. That's what they're doing is they're doing Batman. Um, cause that came out a year before and it was a modest hit. And, uh, can you explain why the karate chop was so popular at this point in time for fighting? I don't know, but nothing beats Kirk's double handed one against on the Gorn.
[00:14:30] So it's just, it's so exotic for some almost like there's like this, the use of, you know, you know, a very strange way. And every time somebody lands a karate chop, it looks less effective than a punch in any which way in these shows. Well, when was the green Hornet that, that was 66 as well. So that's probably why. Um, so you've already got Bruce Lee coming into Hollywood at this point and you know, he's already got the move. So that's, that's, that's the same year as this. So that's probably the same idea, right? Yes. That's yeah.
[00:15:00] Well, they're just trying to, I, I mentioned it before. I think when there was a fight scene and I just, they fight like drunk contractors. And so, and I feel like the karate chop being introduced, leveled up heroes to this exotic level where they're like, Oh, they've had training or they're, you know, there's something more, I guess is the way that I don't really. Uh, so yeah. Um, yeah, I don't know.
[00:15:27] Um, the, the fighting in this is very, it's, it, it is very Batman ask. It doesn't have any of the bops and the powers and things, but it's a lot of that. He pulls a rug at one point, long runner and topples a whole bunch of, uh, French police. It's like that gag. Yeah. I did like it when later on, when he's all the goons have piled on top of them and like, this is the countdown. We'll get to it again later. I'm sure the countdown on his clock, he looks down at his watch and realizes it's been six
[00:15:55] hours now since he's had sex and he can suddenly his powers are back. It's like, like you can't feel the fact that you're suddenly stronger, but, uh, or that the punches don't hurt anymore. But anyway, he just kind of jumps up and all the goons go flying off him, like out of a cartoon. It was, uh, it's this movie is a cartoon. This is a live action cartoon. Yes. And I still think it's the most preposterous gag ever for a guy to have powers and lose them because he got laid and only for six hours.
[00:16:25] But it's very, also mentioned early. We don't know how he has these powers. We don't know who he is, why he can do the stuff again. Nothing. The movie just drops you in the hot seat. I wish it, you know, it drops you in the hot seat and you think, oh, this is cool. Like, I don't know any of this. I'll learn this, but you don't learn any of it throughout the movie. So it kind of had me hanging on being like, oh, I'm going to be in some discovery here at some point. And it never gives you. I wondered for a bit if this was a sequel to something, but it's not. So it does feel like it. Yeah.
[00:16:55] Yeah. I will say the opening title sequence. I was very pleased to see them a main single role credit go to special. Thanks to England hovercraft. They must've rented over. Oh, that hovercraft was obviously supplied by them and something like the Isle of man. But yeah. And it, it think the French authorities too. This is the equivalent of all the seventies movies we watched that have submarines showing
[00:17:22] up where people were able to get their hands on them cause they're 20 years old. And now they were like, not super top secret and they could lease one or whatever. Previous to that. I think it was a hovercraft was like the cool gadget to have in a, in a movie for a minute. Yeah, I guess so. And I'll never forget the, uh, best hovercraft scene of all the cinema, which is Jackie Chan's rumble in the Bronx. I don't remember it. I've only seen that movie once and it was on VHS, uh, probably 40 years ago. You should.
[00:17:51] That was all, uh, shot in Vancouver. I know it was, I actually know what I used to know one of the guys who was, who was one of the bad anchors. Oh, this movie has, we can call it a hard opening, but it opens in the middle and it opens in the midst of there's a crown that's missing and the crown of St. Edward has been stolen and there's some detectives on the case and they try and I don't know what the line is
[00:18:20] or why, but they call Reginald, our hero, Argo man to tell him the crown's been stolen. And somehow you get this idea that he also has the Mona Lisa at his house and he laughs that, well, they never noticed the fake Mona Lisa that is back in there. So he's also kind of a dirt bag. Like he steals all this like really good stuff and people still think he's a good guy, but he's hoarding like all of the world's art.
[00:18:48] Well, the, the cops think Argo man's a bad guy, but they think Sir Reginald is a good guy, but you don't know why they all think so highly of Sir Reginald. No. It's like, but he obviously did something great cause he's got a Sir title. Yeah. But it's, um, I don't know, but these, these Scotland yard, I assume they're Scotland yard inspectors are just dimwits. Like they're, they're Keystone cops.
[00:19:13] They're just oblivious, especially at the end when like, it's just, but like, like there's a scene where Argo man runs away from them into a hedge and they know there's a wall behind it and they're like, there's nowhere for you to come. And Sir Reginald comes out carrying the Argo man costume. And they all just think that Argo man snuck away naked somewhere and left his outfit with Sir Reginald. Like, yeah, like they, they treat it like Reginald found his outfit in the bushes.
[00:19:43] Yes. It's just like, my God. Um, it has that Saturday afternoon kids movie vibe, except like said, it has like this whole like playboy billionaire superhero component too. So I really don't know who this is meant for, you know, originally. Yeah. And we have a villain here who loves to show off her breasts. Like, yeah.
[00:20:12] Uh, these are risque outfits for the sixties. Yeah. Bell played by, uh, Dominique Bechera and she is the main villain, but she also is just driving her the opening of the movies, her driving her hovercraft and Reginald is just hanging out at his house on his deck and he just uses his powers to beam them. And he hears it. Right. Cause he's, he's talking to Shandran and he's just like, Oh wait.
[00:20:40] And he's sort of stopped and he kind of doesn't he hold his ears or something? I can't remember. He does some kind of motion and he realized he hears it. It's like hovercraft. Like what's that all about? And so he just decides to abduct this hovercraft. But can he detect there's like a woman on it or he's just wants the hovercraft to come to his house? Like, I think he's just like wondering what that's all about. So he brings it to his house and then outcomes this beautiful woman.
[00:21:04] And so then he takes her inside and like, he levitates her out of the hovercraft across Oh yeah. I guess. Yeah. She does. That's right. She hops out of the hovercraft. Yeah. She's going back in and he pulls her out and he beams her and she flies like across the beach and up to his house and then catches her out of midair. And he's like, welcome to my house. Would you like a cocktail? Yeah. And it's like, he just, he's so willy nilly with his powers and like, what was that? Well, that's telekinetics. And she doesn't question any more of it.
[00:21:35] And they go, they get a drink and then he's like, Oh, we've skipped a bit too, because he also beforehand is telling Shander that he would like the company, you know, to spend some time with a woman. And, you know, he starts going through what is an awful lot like the, I can't remember what they call it in Logan's run, but we see he's flipping channels on a TV trying to pick which woman he's going to get. This is the same thing. He's flipping channels with just different women.
[00:22:03] He's talking about these women that he beds from around the world and he settles on the British woman. And he's asking Shander, he's like, who, who should I pick today? Who should it be? And they're swiping through them on this monitor. Yeah. It's, it's, it's sixties Tinder is what it is. And, uh, and then when he, but when he picks them, the, I guess he's got cameras and all these women's places because this, the British girl, he decides he wants to hook up with his taking a bath is surprised to see him there. And she's like, Oh, it's you.
[00:22:32] Um, and then he's like, you know, well, you want to come over for a visit? She's like, sure. He'll be right there. Let me just get dried off. But the picture of her is the freeze frame. And then when he decides to choose her, Samantha, her name is he like contacts her. And then the picture just comes alive and she's like, Oh, what are you doing there? Not creepy at all, Reginald. Reginald. But then, you know, Samantha's supposed to be on his way to his place. And meanwhile, he's picking up.
[00:22:57] Um, well, Regina Sullivan is her name, but her alter ego is Ganavel. So thank you. It's the kind of the same thing. Like she's the villain and her name's Regina Sullivan in the public eye, but her super villain name is Ganavel where same with our lead, Roger Brown. He's Sir Reginald Hoover slash Argo man. But Regina Hoover, who's who's landed in his arms has come out of the. So meanwhile, he's waiting for Samantha to come over, but he plucks this other woman out
[00:23:23] of her hovercraft and, um, walks her into his house and gets her a drink and then says, well, let's, let's do a contest. But this is where the Butler also is worried. He's like, you know, I'm worried, you know, about the six hours. Yeah. And, and, uh, Reginald's just like, don't worry. We're just going for a swim. Yeah. But yeah, so, but yeah, so he, you know, he pulls out a bow and he's got these two small
[00:23:52] targets on the wall and he says, if you can get it into the red target and he pushes a button and a door slides open, there's a Rolls Royce with a chauffeur driver. And then, um, like, uh, like a necklace with emeralds in it, emerald necklace. Thank you. I was trying to remember what kind of stones were on it necklace in like a display box and stuff. And then that close. So I guess this, this chauffeur just sits around waiting for like whenever sir, Reginald decides to give away the car and his services door, um, door closes.
[00:24:21] And he says, however, if you miss, and I hit this black dot, he opens it up and that's where he reveals his bedroom with the suspended from the ceiling on a rope. It's so rad. It's like this round bed suspended. It's a swing there. So I'll powder blue on these big, thick white ropes. So cool. It's just, yeah. So then he closes it again. And now he's already told her he's got telekinetic powers. So she already knows he can't miss. He can also mess with her shot if he wants to.
[00:24:51] So, but anyway, she takes a shot. She misses. He takes a shot. He wins. And she's just like, okay, whatever. So, so they go into the room, the door closes and, uh, I dunno, sometime passes and they come out. She's, you know, dressed or whatever. Then she picks up the bow and she shoots the red dot, which is like to tell you that she could have done it all along. Right. Um, but she's like, I don't need the rolls. I already have one, but she wanted the necklace.
[00:25:18] But this also, that's when we paint over to Shounder, the butler, and he starts his stopwatch. He sets his lock. Yeah. He's like, okay. So we're like, this sort of sets up like, okay, now he doesn't have powers for six hours, which would be a good plot device if they actually used it. But because the movie jumps around in locations and everything, there's never this, oh, now we've got this six hour threat level of bad stuff happening. Yeah.
[00:25:44] But well, yeah, except that, you know, he is dealing with some guys later on and he's still within that six hour window because this is where the movie starts. It's the next six hours is the most, uh, like so much stuff happens in real, what's supposed to be. Well, in movie time, what so much happens that any, and like they're in multiple countries, like they're in France now and stuff. But you find out here is where Regina obviously knew. She knew, she knew Sir Reginald.
[00:26:14] She knows he's, he's aggro man. She, she knew his weakness because she gives an ultimatum to the cops that I want this and I have to have it within the next five hours and 45 minutes or whatever. Oh, I didn't even catch that. Okay. Powerless. So, so even though he magnetically brought her hovercraft to his house, that was part of her plan in some strange way. It seems like I'm guessing, and again, I could be reading too much into this, but I think it
[00:26:42] was part of her plan because now she knows argoman can't thwart her because he's, he's powerless at the moment because he's in his refractory period. Well, and I think we learned that she's the one who stole this missing crown as well. Yes. Point too. And argoman's been put on the case by the local beat street cops, essentially like said, and they go to Paris and I don't know where the lead comes from or why. I think they just want to make part of the movie in Paris. Yeah.
[00:27:11] I don't know why they're in Paris, but they are by this point. Um, Samantha has hooked up with them and, but they, but they're not doing anything because I guess he's in his refractory. I guess he can't have sex again in that six hours either. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know what the deal is. He's like, so there's this other plot thing that's inserted here about, you know, essentially the most important object in the movie called the murder a four, which is a giant diamond.
[00:27:39] It's a giant plastic looking diamond. Yes. It's definitely very plus. And apparently they're doing a test on it in some place and they're saying it, it has the reflective capability to change the molecular valid values of anything you shine upon. And then they use an example where they shine it on this guy holding up a Swiss Frank and it makes it soft. I don't know why he's able to mold it and change it afterwards. Yeah.
[00:28:09] So I guess the idea of this stone is big. It's like the size of a basketball is just has all sorts of power in it. And so, you know, somebody could do really bad stuff with it if they had it. That's kind of the setup of the whole movie. But this is, you know, this is the second act at this point is when we get introduced to this. Yeah. But what Regina plans with it makes no sense compared to the demonstration we've had like none whatsoever. I was so confused when we got to that, why she wants this thing.
[00:28:38] I mean, that's the biggest floor in this movie. Start to finish is we don't know what the hero, where the hero is from or why he can do what he can do. And we don't know what the villain wants in the end. And even if it's world domination, like, yeah, that, that is what she wants. She wants to put puppets, her, her puppets people into the position so that she can be queen of the world. That's all she wants. She expects to become queen of the world.
[00:29:06] And all these people will give her that power because she's putting her puppet people in places, the heads of all these states. Well, you get a lot more from this than I did. Well, because, because I watched the movie. So I remember the robot. I actually was wondering if the robot had been in Starship invasions, but the robot looks, looks way too crappy for that.
[00:29:28] Um, but, uh, no. So she's, she's using it to, um, yeah. So she has these sort of robots. She has these robots that she's built and they look like, they look like normal people, except for if their faces were a little bit melted, like they stood too close to a microwave or something.
[00:29:49] Yeah. And yeah, they're just kind of wonky. And, uh, but what she does is she grabs real people. Um, like she's got a general at one point and a world leader at another. And she lays them down in this bed and it's very reminiscent of, of what Goldfinger's got going on. I was going to say, it's that classic giant laser sixties bond. Uh, yeah. Except we never actually see a laser. No.
[00:30:13] And, and, uh, they, it takes three people to, to move it because it's not motorized in any way. So, um, yeah, so she, she points it at the person that she, she wants to replace. And then, and then the whole beam gets moved and then with the laser then shoots at a robot and it turns a robot into that person. Except now she has complete control over that, that robot. Wow. So that the robot, yeah, she's creating doppelgangers basically.
[00:30:42] I didn't realize I was trying to figure out cause she was swinging the laser between the two beds of the two people or laying there, but makes a little more sense. I found it amazing that I picked up more of this movie from you, Sam, cause I played several levels of candy crush on my phone while watching this thing. I sat and watched the whole, um, at another point, I think I'm pretty certain I watched a few Tik TOK videos. I was definitely scrolling Instagram at one point.
[00:31:08] Uh, I was, I just, I didn't pick up on this stuff and I was, I was deadly watching it. But what I thought was interesting here is when they show up in Paris, Argo man is just now trying to find her because she's up to no good. And he has a ring that he opens up and inside his ring, it has this little compass. And then he's like, I don't, I missed where that came from. Oh, but it's the ring.
[00:31:32] It's able to, no, I know, but I know what the ring does, but I don't know how it was that he was able to create it or get it or what I missed that. Yeah. There was no, there was no discussion of how or what, like just like his powers or who is, but he's like opens his ring and it shows a little compass. And he's like that cigarette that I gave her is radioactive. This tracks radioactivity. So he basically feeds her a cigarette that she smokes. Oh, there it is. Yeah.
[00:31:59] Yeah. And then because she smoked the cigarette, she inhaled a bunch of radiation and now his ring can track her on the other side of the planet. Not really, but yeah, you know, right. From England to Paris or whatever. Like it's tell me you don't know how radiation works without telling me you don't know how radiation works. But that is, that is the whole point of this, the tracking and then how he tracks her down in this movie. He, he's constantly looking at this ring cause she smoked the cigarette. It's pretty bizarre. Yeah.
[00:32:27] Well, he gets how he uses it to tell who's, who's doppelgangers and who's not too. I guess because he can tell who's where cause they all came from her, I guess. But yeah, I, that I, I missed all of that. No. Yeah. We, cause you're playing candy crushes. Well, yeah, you know, you gotta do this. It's people are trying to get a vibe of this movie if they want to watch it or not from us. Honestly, this, this, this is the first time I've done that, but this, this movie drove me to that.
[00:32:54] And I think it's because it is in a lot of ways, a comic book movie, which is probably how I was able to, to follow a lot of it. Cause these are all comic book tropes. Yeah. They're just so badly implemented. No. And again, I wanted it to be great, but she, the way she gets a hold of the diamond, we have to remember, she does this big bank heist where she walks into the bank and she sticks these. She's two pieces of tissue up her nose, lights her own cigarette and throws it on the floor.
[00:33:21] And then the cigarette like gases out the whole bank. And then she has all these goons that are just like dressed in like black latex who come in and they go downstairs and they steal the Murtaugh a four, like the giant, but the giant diamond. And that's how she gets ahold of it. Like it's the simplest highest on earth. If that's all she needed to do. And nobody's worried about it. During this time,
[00:33:49] Agra man or Reginald is on her case and they show up to the bank, but it's all locked up because he could track because of the cigarette and they're robbing it from the inside. Whatever reason, this is the first time we see Agra man. And this is like halfway through the movie. Well, it's not yet either. So he, he uses his, um, his British girlfriend to distract her Regina's henchmen.
[00:34:15] And they're all, and I want to say like, I do love, uh, you know, henchmen that are in like wild matching outfits. So in this case, these guys look like they're on the wrong side of San Francisco, um, in the gay scene. Cause they're, they're, they're all leather clad with these weird masks and stuff. But I do like the fact that they're henchmen and they're all dressed the same and they have a uniform. It's great. So, but yeah, he uses, what's the Samantha, right? Yeah.
[00:34:42] This is British girlfriend to, he leans in and he whispers to her and he says, just do it. Okay. And she's like, okay. And she wanders off. And then so you've got the henchmen that are all like loading cash, the bales of cash and stuff out of the bank into the back of a truck. And well, it's more like a minivan, but, uh, Like a mail van or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. It's a very French, you know, European, like it's tiny.
[00:35:09] It's, uh, it's this little thing, but they're loading it all into the back of it. And then suddenly his, you know, she steps out and she's just wearing her underwear. Right. And, and the French in the, you know, the, the henchman's just like, Oh, yeah, this is, this is that classic moment in all movies or comics where they stop dead in their tracks for the chick. Yeah. And she's just like, Oh, whatever. And surprised. And he's, she's distracted.
[00:35:36] And this is where Reginald, like sneaks into this truck. He's just in there. And then meanwhile, like three or four more henchmen all pile into the back of the truck. They close the door and they drive off. And I'm thinking this thing's really small. How is he hiding in there? And they don't see a clown car. And they drive along for ages before one of them kind of goes, Hey, who are you? And then they proceed to beat the crap out of them for about two minutes, I guess.
[00:36:04] And then he's down on the ground and he sort of huddled in and they're all on top of them and they're all punching and stuff. And he looks at his watch and it's been six hours. And all of a sudden he, they, he pushes them all off of him and he's standing there. Now he's standing there as Argo man. Is this like why on the Viagra commercials, they're like, if some, if nothing happens within six hours, call a doctor. Is this like an Argo man tie in?
[00:36:29] I wonder it's a, well, I think, I think, and the idea is if your action doesn't go away over six hours is when you call a doctor. But Argo man's can come back in six hours. Yeah. So I don't know, but he's standing there and we should, we should point out if you have not seen this movie, uh, he's got a yellow. It's the, it's a yellow leotard with black, uh, Superman style underwear and a ski mask and a cape and stuff. And it's why a Cyclops advisor style. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:36:59] And I can't tell you why, what, how he resolves this with the truck, but this moment is where, you know, this is somewhere in the middle of the second act, but this is where, uh, uh, Janabelle actually puts in a demand. Now she's stolen all of this money and she dumps a bunch of it out of a plane and in all these single notes just out over Paris. But then she sets a demand.
[00:37:28] She says she has 3 million in Franks, 300 million in Franks. And if they don't give her the murder, a full of the stone, the authorities, she'll dump more of the money into the public and generate inflation that they could never imagine. Like this is the weirdest villain tactic. I have, but she's, she's going to crash the French economy is what she's going to do by distributing the wealth amongst them. It's amongst the poor people.
[00:37:56] It's such a bizarre, like angle for a villain to try and pull. It's so, such a strangely, I don't know why they came up with this or what the design for it here is, but while she's demanding this for some reason, Reginald just takes a bus somewhere. And then, then he's on a bus and he's trying to stop the bus because there's another guy on there who's threatening to blow up the bus.
[00:38:20] And then Reginald just uses his telekinetic powers to pull a parked car out in front of the bus and stop it. And this is where I was like, wait, why does he dress up as Argo? Like his powers seem to be always usable outside of the six hours. Like he doesn't have to dress up. So maybe he always has the powers and the suit is more like a Batman thing, just for identity. I think that's exactly it. It's, it's just, it's a alter identity. But like I said, he's always using his powers.
[00:38:49] Like he is not dressed as Argo man. When he shows Regina that he can use this telekinetic abilities and stuff. Yeah. And they're just talking about, so it's like literally everybody in this movie knows. He's Argo man, except for, for the British inspectors for what, and I guess the French cops too. The cops don't seem to understand. And it makes zero sense. Well, I'm glad you think it makes sense because right after this, we go to. Jenna Bell's lair.
[00:39:18] And when she arrives in the lair, well, he goes through the lair. And when he arrives in the lair, they're like casually like, oh, should we have a cocktail? And then he uses his power to roll a mini bar out of the wall. And it comes in front of them. Like, it's like, he knew the bar was there and it like fits into the wall. Again, it's, it's so bizarre. There is like a scene where he's trying to figure out where it is. And then you just kind of like, I guess he's trying to get telekinetics to pull different panels from the wall. And eventually one comes out.
[00:39:48] But that, that again, that could be me reading too much into it. I don't know. It, it, it's, it's dumb, but yeah, they have, they have a drink. They have a cocktail and she talks to him about the. Berta, a four stone that can make her more powerful. She, she wants her, wants him to be his king consort. Yeah. King consort. Like that's what she wants. She's, she's, you know, she, she likes him and she wants him, but you know, she's still going to be master of and ruler of the world.
[00:40:15] And he's going to have to, you know, accept the fact that that's what it is. But I don't know. They're, they're just in her lair and he decides to turn into Argo man by ripping the shoulder of his jacket off. And he just peels his coat off and then he's wearing Argo man gear underneath. And then you cut back to him and he's got his visor and everything on. But at the same time, Yenabel has this girl strapped to a table and there's a robot like assaulting her.
[00:40:46] Yes. It's basically walking towards her in. I, I don't know how to describe it other than it looks like he's going to like sexually assault this woman, but it's. But it's, he and his shaped like a four shooter gun. And the robot, not the only time we see a four shooter gun in this. No, by the way. Yeah, exactly.
[00:41:07] Except hers is a different arrangement, but it's like, it's the robot looks like something that would be made up for what was that? Sci-fi parody TV show, red, uh, red, red war. Yeah. The robot looks like something from red war. Kind of. To me, it looked like, um, I don't know, a combination of something you'd see in a Saturday morning kids show, like a live action thing.
[00:41:37] Almost. But like, I don't know, like cheaper. Yeah. It's like, if you take, if you take black hole, but make it not look good. Yeah. I was at the black hole is definitely an inspiration I had. Like there's, there's a certain feel of max million to it, except max million was cool and red. And this thing's just like drab, you know, blah, black and very much looks like a guy in a suit. Yeah.
[00:42:04] Like it just so obviously looks like a guy in a suit and, and by suit, I mean a couple of cylinders for legs and then boxes, like kind of a kid. It looks like a kid's Halloween costume. Yeah. Kind of like WD 40 from, um, space bowls. Yeah. Yeah. Same thing. I don't know, but I don't know what's happening here, but there's lasers and there's this robot and there's a woman strapped to a table and she's screaming. Yeah. And, and he is, and, and she's left our home man on this platform.
[00:42:33] Like he's on this circular. Yeah. Platform thing. And he steps off of it. It starts to lower. And that causes the robot to do something. I wasn't clear, but it seemed like if he hops off it, it starts to lower and that creates more of a threat for the woman. I don't know. It's a weird, like meant to be this like evil layer with all these gadgets and stuff in it. And it looks cool.
[00:42:58] Cause I love the 60s sci-fi aesthetic in every which way, but I don't get it, but I couldn't tell you what happens or why they're here. But he's, he uses this telekinesis to move the statue. She left in the room and he places it on the platform. So it doesn't move when he gets off. The statue looks like a giant turd. Yes, it does. It's a very much does like, like a dog turd. That's been left out in the sun about for about three weeks. Bleached look to it. Yeah, completely.
[00:43:29] And it's, it's, it's weird because I mean, why doesn't he use, why didn't he just use his telekinetics to stop her? There is no consistency in anybody's abilities or skill set across the board. So this, this movie feels like they made up the look of the superhero just to put him in the trailer, put him on the poster is awesome for this movie. But everything else, like it looks like a real, Frank Vazetta style poster.
[00:43:59] It's so cool. Yeah. But there's just no substance here. But I don't know how or why. But I don't know how or why after this sequence, they go to like a big cocktail party. That's like a diplomat get together. Yes. Yes. Yes.
[00:44:25] And they put a mark on their back of their jackets in this ink. And then they shut the lights out in the party. And now you can see the ink in the darkness. It's like glow in the dark. And then argoman just shoots all three of them in the back. Like he just assassinates these people. Yes, he does. And I'm like, well, they're robots though. That's why he knows he can do it. Because she's turned, cause you know, it was turned them into robots and they're acting as, but everybody thinks he's assassinated people.
[00:44:54] And then he runs into the hedge that he talked about. And we should point out that he, it's a Sir Reginald at this point. This is not, he's not in his argoman costume. He is there. He's, he's chatting with everybody up. Like he's Sir Reginald. The inspectors are there. And of course they have no idea. It's just not entertaining. I mean, I want it to be, and I love the look of it.
[00:45:14] And I won't even say style over substance because it, it's cool in the sets and the costumes and stuff, but it's not cool and style over substance in filmmaking style. There's, you know, where latitude zero looks great and has a cool vibe because they're on the submarine and all this sort of stuff. This doesn't have any of that. This is just regular 1960 stuff with a couple of cool layers. There's it's missing a lot.
[00:45:42] I don't, I don't know how else to describe it, but there becomes a runaway train, which I guess is like the big climactic thing. Cause the whole time I'm like, well, what is he going to do? How does he, he's, he's going to her layer now. Uh, because you know, she didn't thwart him or she didn't manage to thwart him. And so he knows they, they got the general. That's what happened was he was there. So he's going through the different people.
[00:46:07] He's like at the, at the party, he knows who's real and who's not. There's four people that he's looking at. Three of them are already bad. And one's the general. So the girl dancing with the general, like marks him. So they know to abduct him when the lights go out, when the one likes to quote her go, man, like I said, assassinates the other three guys. And, um, they think it's him. So anyway, now he's, he's on a train and, and he's incognito.
[00:46:34] And he's just as his, his, you know, he said, like, everyone knows who I am. I can't go as me. So I'll, I'll be in a disguise. And his disguise is basically just to dress down a little bit. With a kerchief. Yeah. He's got a kerchief and a hat. And, and he is sitting there, um, with his head down pretending to be asleep in this train. And there's this priest in the next, like the next row of seats is glancing back at him a couple of times.
[00:47:00] Gets up, walks, looks over, and then walks to the end, end of the car, goes around a corner. No one can see him opens his Bible up and it's a transmitter. That was actually cool. Yes. So it's a radio and he transmits and he just says, uh, Sir Reginald Hoover is on the train. Sir Reginald Hoover is on the train. Sir Reginald Hoover is on the train or he says, Argo man. I don't remember which, but he's kept says on train. He says three times, close the Bible up.
[00:47:28] And then he gets, he exits the side of the train. Now it's in full motion. It's gone. He claws climbs along the side of the coal car to the steam train. Yeah. Yeah. The coal car gets up to the engine and the engineers at the front, the three of them are all like confused. Like father, how did you get up here? He's like, I walked. And then they, they cut to a wide shot of the train on the tracks. You just hear three gunshots. And then the priest jumps out of the train and he jumps out. Now get it. Give credit. It's a real stunt. Yeah.
[00:47:58] Same as him and Columbia along the side of the train. They, they, he actually did that. Um, and then he jumps off. Now I think the train's not going that fast, but still, uh, it looked good cause it was a real, it was a real stunt. Yeah. Um, but what I wanted to get to is my favorite part of the movie, which I think is before this. Um, he goes to meet someone in the government, I think in England. And it's the guy, the guy in the glass. He's like, so this is this, he's like, this is a deep cup, but he's like Culpepper from death cheaters.
[00:48:28] Yes. Yes. Yes. So he goes to see this guy and, uh, this guy walks in and he goes in his Reginald and he sees this guy and, and the guy looks at him and he just says, Oh, you know, I know your Argo man, whatever. Don't, don't give me this garbage. I know who you are. Don't, don't find his like, um, and then there's this exchange between the two of them that really doesn't make a lot of logical sense. And then this guy pulls a gun and Argo man and Argo man uses a telekinex, take the gun out of his hand.
[00:48:58] And then the guy is like, I will stop you. I will kill you. Um, and then he jumps, runs and jumps out the window and he's like three stories up, four stories up and he jumps and, and Reginald runs to the window and uses telekinesis to stop the guy's fall. And he starts to bring them up. And this is when the inspector and the cops burst into the room, he gets distracted and the guy falls to his death. Now, as it turns out, he's a robot, so it's fine.
[00:49:28] But it was just like, I laughed out loud at that. It reminded me of in a similar way, mystery men, how they kill the hero at the very beginning. They go to save him and then they fry him. Yeah. It was the same kind of thing. He's like trying to do like, he's like pulling him up and then he gets distracted. He drops the guy. I laughed actually. I thought that was like, I love mystery, man. It's good. Um, I shovel really well. The shoveler. Oh, great.
[00:49:56] But anyway, that, that one thing where the guy then falls to his death. That made me laugh. Yeah. There's some good little bits in this, but none of it. It's, uh, I don't know. How would I say? It's just not good. I'm trying to think of a better word to describe it not being good, but it's, it is funny watching him in his Argo man costume and knowing he can't see anything out of that, out of that visor.
[00:50:21] Um, he can't turn his head because of the way the cowl and the mask is designed and he's just forever kind of pivoting his whole body to look at things. Well, and, uh, made me laugh. Yeah. Cause like, so basically he stops the train and he saves everybody in the train cause he uses his power to switch the tracks and everything else. But like I said, he could have just slowed the train down with his parents doesn't matter whichever way. Yeah. But we end up in this end sequence and he's fighting.
[00:50:47] And I just wanted more of that cause it's just Adam West Batman and it's the karate chops and it's not great. It's probably similar to them fighting the, uh, the mutant Batman in latitude zero where they're just kind of like kicking each other. And it's, it's not, there's no choreography here or whatever, but it still looks cool. Cause this big layer and stuff like that.
[00:51:10] But what's really weird is that when the fight ends, he comes up against Janabelle and he met uses his superpower to shoot an ice pick out her out of the cocktail bar. And it stabs her in the chest. It's just not, there's no like, ah, I found you or no, like sort of lead up of like hero talking to evil villain within one second, she's dead. And you're like, huh? And then he turns around and there's another one there.
[00:51:38] And then you realize these, like these clone robot things that she's done, but he takes out a couple other ones. This is the end fight scene. And then it cuts to, and she's just in a plane. She's in like a spitfire and she, well, they, they hear her airplane. And so that by this point, the cops have shown up and stuff as well. And they all run outside and yeah, she's in like this. Yeah. It's not even a Cessna or anything. It is like a spitfire. You're right. And she's just flying around.
[00:52:05] He's using his ability to like move it and stuff, but he doesn't bring it down. He doesn't land it. He doesn't do anything. He positions it. So the sun hits the diamond that's in the seat beside her and she looks at it and screams. And then the plane blows up. It blows up as if trash shot it with his handgun. Like, yes, yes. And then, and then they cut to a scene of him as argument, just like he's stolen a motorcycle and he's driving away. And then the inspector's like, well, he's still a criminal.
[00:52:35] We got to catch him. The end comes out. I was going to say credits roll, but there's no credits to roll. It just says the end and it's over. No, because there's one more bit. Like he rides off of the motorcycle and you're like, well, wait a minute. What? But I need to talk about that plane scene again. Yes. All the superpowers he has in what he can control any machine in any which way wants. And why wouldn't he just dive bomb the plane into the ground and explode? Or he spends like, this is a long scene. It's like a 30 second scene.
[00:53:04] And he spends time. Yeah. Or lander so that they can rest. Yeah. Like he spends time flying her plane to the right angle. So the sun catches the birth to a four. And then in all the other previous instances, we've seen of examples of what happens with the stone when light hits it, it anneals things and it softens things and does stuff. But this time it just explodes the plane for no absolute reason. It's super bizarre, but. Yep.
[00:53:32] The last scene is he's back at his house and back at his like cool mansion with his indoor pool and his swinging seats and stuff. And. Right. Right. There's a. Cole and the beat street cops from the beginning of like, guess what? The crown of Edward was stolen again. And he's like, huh? Strange. Oh, I'll look around for it. And he hangs up. And then this girl comes out wearing it and she's darling. That doesn't fit. It's it's it's it's it's British girlfriend, Susanna. Right.
[00:54:03] And he's like, oh, sorry, I'll get you something else. And then he walks and puts it on a shelf and. Yes. He hands it to. He's hands it to his man servant. He's not going to do. Right. Yes. He's taking the girl in to go get laid. Yes. So, yeah, they head off into the room and then Shander takes takes it, walks it over and. Yeah. Puts it on a pedestal and you see the Mona Lisa there and you see some other stuff. This guy's just a. A clock. Massive criminal. Like at this point, like he has all of the stuff, but the clock is the best part. Yeah.
[00:54:32] Because he looks at the clock and it says it's six o'clock and then he just gets a smirk on his face and then the credits roll. Well, he just his watch. Yeah. I think. I guess it's supposed to mean something, but I had no idea what that meant. I just I just assumed that it's like, well, sure, it's going to be six hours until he could save the world again. But I don't know the significance of why it being sick. It's it's yeah, this is a very underwhelming movie.
[00:55:01] And I really wanted to like it. I really want to love it. I love the look. I didn't even like the music for it. No, the music is is really annoying. Um, it's it's reminiscent a bit from the 10th victim, but imagine that but way, way worse. There's no real redeeming themes or it just it feels really lighter. But the music feels like the Saturday afternoon. This actually I was going to say something, but I'm not going to say that because I don't want to insult it.
[00:55:30] I was going to say this is a Condor man chicken. Say I was like this is like Condor man of the sixties trying to be but Condor man is a great movie and I don't want to associate, but the tone of Condor man is what this movie's kind of trying to be is that Saturday Disney superhero movie, but Condor man is great. This movie is and I should know because I have the scholastic book. Yes, you do.
[00:55:58] And I'm jealous because I don't have mine anymore. But you know what? I still haven't seen that movie. I still have not watched that movie. We should watch it together. Yeah, I don't know. No redeeming qualities. I wouldn't say watch this. I couldn't even tell you how to fix it. I well, what I would say to fix this movie, have more fights, have more stuff of him. In his suit, have him be Argo man more, but tell us why he's argument and how he's got his powers. Like it's fine if he's just a Batman or an Iron Man where he's got a lot of money and
[00:56:28] he can develop these skills and everything else, but we don't even see that component. So the most interesting thing to me is how he got these abilities and we will never know. Cause there was not like there are any sequels or anything. No. And there wasn't because executive producer Edmondo and Marty was quoted stating that the idea of this movie was to make an Italian Superman of sorts, but we did not have the means or the technique. Like you sure didn't.
[00:57:00] I just like how he admits like there was no capability, like in any which way, like no money and no idea of what this was going to be. Um, do you want to know what Howard Hughes said about this movie? Oh man. Okay. Howard Hughes said that I found the film. It never quite fulfills the promise of its surreal opening sequence, which is true because it kind of sets it up, which I was like, that's a great, it's a great point.
[00:57:28] And he said that Argo man was a quote somewhat patch superhero. It seems very appropriate that the less than fantastic Argo man symbol is a turd like red spiral on his forehead. Wow. I thought that was a great view, but that's, that's really it. And it does. And again, the opening, I was all in the look, the vibe, the style, the ridiculousness, but
[00:57:59] we never revisited that component there at the very beginning. 4.4 on IMDB. That is high. Because while this did look twice as good as were the robots, it didn't really bore the robots. I was still kind of hanging in there trying to find like a real story or there were some they tried in a lot of ways, like world building and these different civilizations and stuff
[00:58:26] a little more were the robots I could follow still as a start to finish story to some extent. This not so much. Well, wild trivia you got for me, Sam. The trivia that I have for you was that it appeared on that German show that was best of the, yeah, that was about it. I couldn't find, I couldn't find budget. I couldn't find any of this. It's kind of a forgotten movie, even though the copy that I watched, watched it on Tubi, of course, it's the old Tubi logo. Hey, it's going to say, do you miss that Tubi logo? I sure do.
[00:58:57] But it, it looks nice. It's like there was, there's money spent here. This movie was restored where more of the robots isn't. Yeah, it's true. I don't know where or what world of, um, cult support this is, you know, I don't know. I don't even think I'd own this. No, and I, I, you know how I like to buy these things. Like I am probably going to pick up the 10th victim. Oh yeah.
[00:59:22] But, um, this, I just, yeah, I don't, it's, it should I decide I need to watch it on Tubi or watch it again. It's on Tubi. Yeah. Um, it looks like they did do a DVD of it. Um, but not a Blu-ray. So yeah, it's still just, we, at least when we're watching it, we're seeing it in its final form. It's not some compressed crush thing. And it's still like, so no, it's, it's still got, um, well, I mean, it's got all the
[00:59:50] film flaws still there, but, uh, yeah, they haven't spent it. I get comforted watching movies that look like this, but I certainly didn't feel any payoff from seeing it. I mean, this is a classic case of we watch these movies, so you don't have to, because I watched the trailer for this and I was pumped. Yeah. But, but you can watch the trailer and leave it at that. That's what I would say. Watch the trailer because it gets you excited for something really cool, but it's just, yeah.
[01:00:21] Yeah. I don't know. It's a little underwhelming. Anyway, well, look, thanks again, dude. I, uh, I apologize again, but I promise, I promise I'm going to redeem myself soon. I'm going to find a nugget in here. That's just going to be the greatest. And you'll be like, wow, this is worth watching 31 movies worth of to get to that. So we'll keep digging. All right, man.
[01:00:47] In the meantime, anything, but casino and to be true to, to tell the truth, I still enjoyed Argo man more than I would watching casino. Yeah. So yeah, we have both still not seen casino. I think that's, that's awesome. The fact that I haven't watched it yet is, is absurd, but well, for me, it's, it's a classic, but it is a joke among our friends where Jason and I haven't seen it.
[01:01:15] And we were always talk about movies way before doing this podcast. And the joke would always be like, wow, you guys will watch anything, but casino. And so we're truly watching anything, but casino. Yeah. Speaking of, we have our, uh, letterbox that we've listed all the movies on the list is called anything, but casino. And, uh, so check that out as well. But, uh, thanks for tuning in as always. It's a, we really appreciate the messages and the comments and stuff. So keep it coming. Take care of people.
[01:01:45] Cheers. Bye. Therefore whatever appears on a television screen emerges as a raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore television is reality and reality is less than television.
