All right, listen up Cave's I Got Your assignments riga six four three wheeler one four eight not eight oh four, and only you. You need to join host HP and fatherm Alone as they examine one of the greatest sitcoms in television history, Taxi in Night Mister Walters a taxi podcast banda zero like your boxing. Record, Thank mister Walters. Weird Way. We welcome back to Midnight Viewing, the Horror and Theology podcast, where this season we're taking a look at George A.

Romero's nineteen eighties series Tales from the Dark Side. Sharing the Midnight view with me are the culture casts Chris Statue. I've got cold cream on my face, help me? And the projection booths Mike White. It's like reality is being zapped all.

The time, and I'm Father Malone. Tonight we're taking a look at two episodes from season two. They are Effect and Cause and Monsters in My Room. Effect in Cause is season two episode eleven, originally aired on December the eighth, nineteen eighty five. This one was written by Michael Cube McDowell, not the other Michael McDowell, not Beetlejuice, Michael McDowell, directed by Mark Jean.

This one stars Susan Strasburg. She did two Night Galleries Midnight Never Ends in Doll of Death, Ben Marley, Judith, Marie Bergen, and an appearance by Mike from Twin Peaks, who's actually high school age appropriate here. This is the story of age Bobby. Is this Mike? Is this?

Is this? Mike? This is a story of an aging hippie who is going through a crisis of conscience and reality is slipping around her and behind her and over this way and that way. What'd you think of this one? Mike?

You know, I didn't initially like this one, but after some long thoughts and careful consideration, is some insightful dialoguing. I think this is kind of good. I we have talked on the show a lot about aging boomers, and this one kind of hits it the right way rather than being like, oh woe is me? And I kind of like this whole thing of reality changing on people. I mean, it's shatter day a little bit of word play.

I don't know if it does either. Yeah, it doesn't come close to those, but I thought this whole idea of painting over the canvases I thought was a nice conceit and one that I initially missed the first time I watched it. How about you, Chris? What about you Chris? It also reminded me of Slippage, was that one slip.

Right here on? Yeah, they reminded me of that one. I thought it was interesting. I mean, Mike, you're right, the way to deal with aging boomers is to blow them up, apparently, have their doorbell blow them up, which again similarly to the last episode that we did with the mean endings. Once again someone who doesn't really deserve it getting their shit rocked at the end, and this woman gets blown up in what could only be described as final destination esque Rube Goldbergian even.

I mean, the gas line gets unplugged and her doorbell just happens to spark when someone rings it, not all the time, just sometime. And then I mean, if yeah, it's you know, as our friend rich Adam likes, is a planting and payoff. So I think it's I think it's an interesting episode. I think it kind of plays its hand a little too obviously, But I think to your point, Mike, we've seen this story told so many times that are so wistful and longing, and for he's a jolly good fellowing. And there's none of that here, And I'm glad that there's not, because for me, those were a little too saccharin and maudlin and really obnoxious and is not as mean as this is.

It is not those which I deeply appreciated. So what about you flo them alone? Y'all know me? No, oh, my owner living taking down boomers. And this is a delightful relief from the fair we were getting over on Twilight's Soon eighty five one hundred percent mic because that what they end up doing is being melancholic and wistful.

Where did my youth go? Let me relive it? And then they in most cases, they get to relive it in some way. This every single one of those episodes had a very positive ending, like I get to my other self, gets to live with my other self, and I realized the like the mistakes of my ways? Fuck you, fuck you?

What kind of ending is this? I feel guilty. I didn't go to Vietnam. This is about a hippie who just happens to be a hippie. It's just generation generationally speaking, this just happens to be about her doesn't have anything to do with her mobility.

She's even sort of castigated as an outcast by her upwardly mobile younger sister. And that's the other part we keep getting with Twilight ten eighty five, all of the sort of aging boomer bullshit that they all become yuppies somehow, they like get written into the narrative as yuppies. But these are old people. By then, yuppies were like twenty year old stockbroker kids on cocaine, you know, in Manhattan. These are just boomers dealing with their shit, trying to reframe their story on a younger generation.

Ah, they never Okay. So this, like I said, this was delightful because her midlife crisis is real here. And I love all these slippage episodes. I love that that is a common thread amongst all of the stories across all of the anthology series. It seemed to me sometime in the mid eighties, everyone's reality broke apart for them in some way and they all had to express it, and we got a ton of these stories than others.

I really like this one because I think Susan Strasburg is great in it. She's got a gay best friend. That's pretty fucking cool for national television in eighty five. And I don't understand why anyone would just put mayo and sprouts and avocado slices on white and consider that a sandwich. That's really not cool.

That's that's the putting the term sandwich to a test. Really, Yeah, well, some people consider a hot dog a sandwich. Which people are those people from Chicago? Weird weird people those people? Is there a ven diagram crossover of those people?

And people have put hot dogs with ketchup? Is that a thing? Do you think those are the same? Do you think there's a problem with people that put ketchup on their hot dogs? Because we can step outside right now, mister, oh, can.

I put some ketchup on your hot dogs? Yes? I can, It's good. Yes. Wow, I guess we are having words.

Wow. I need to wait in this because I, from my entire youth, my entire life, felt that ketchup on hot dogs were for nine year olds in under And then I put on mayo and ketchup and mustard and fucking potato chips and cabbage and stuff, and I was like, fucking, who gives a shit? What you put in your fucking hot dog. Pineapple belongs on pizza. If you like pineapple on pizza, eat your fucking hot dog, andy goddamn way you want.

And you know what, candy corn tastes good. It does in small doses. It does. Yeah, one girl, Hey, I like licorice, man, I'm batting for the I like black licorice too, Like I. Get wow, Well, once you have that, you'd never go back.

Yeah, it's true. Hey, you know what the issue with You know what the issue is. It's not so much it's only putting ketchup on a hot dog? Does that make sense? If you only put ketchup on a hot dog, that doesn't seem because like, if there's the if you have a certain kind of hot dogs, some hot dogs are already kind of not like smoky, they're kind of sweet, maybe because they're just kind of like super processed.

So I having ketchup on a already kind of sweet hot dog just sounds unappealing. But like ketchup and mustard and mannaise everything else. Yeah, it's just the idea of singularly putting ketchup on a hot dog, I guess is more what I was getting at. Yeah, who gives a shit what you put on? And by the way, pineapple and jalapenos on a pizza is the fucking play.

That's the playing, And if anyone tells you otherwise, it's just, well, you don't know what the fuck you're talking. About, right, I don't like klopeno. I'll take the pineapple on the pizza as it. I'll throw them on there too. Well, I would say pineapple salty, and then the pineapple gives you the sweet.

But I just don't like the ham. I'd rather have pepperoni and lapeno and pineapple. There you go. I'm telling you. You're making me hungry.

I'm making I'm making you want to melt your face off with some cold cream or I guess paintbrush thinner? Is that what that was supposed to be. Is she turning into a paintbrush or she's dissolving into her environment, she's about to blow up anyways, I don't get it like you're about to die as it is, like why are you melting? As well? Now here were the mean spiritedness that it doesn't work against the episode for me because I'm here for the mean spiritedness of tails.

But this one hurt, whereas the previous one, I was okay with those two being murdered by a bear. Oh so you didn't like that in this episode. No, I liked her character. I felt her pain. Yeah she doesn't deserve it.

No, no, not at all. And you know she's dealing with with that sort of overbearing sister in the and you know, I really, look, here's the thing. We should basically just stop recording and go make pizza. But while we're doing it, we can play cards with our with seven o'clocks and the King of Frog. I love that detail in this episode.

I loved all the weirdness in this episode. There's a whole lot of this is a bottle episode. Do we leave her apartment? Ever? We go outside for a second, I think when Mike comes to deliver some shit.

Other than that, we're here with her in this spot. Never uninteresting, never dull. This one flies by like most that another great feature of tealsm the dark Side. The pacing on their episodes is like par excellence. It's the best of any anthology series we've seen, and it's.

The only one that hasn't changed yet, and it's not going to change before the end of the show because havenen we had some of these shows were like they were an hour and then they weren't, or it was an hour long and then it was two episodes per episode and now it's one and yeah that was eighty five, right. Do they move to Canada suddenly or the UK? Do they completely? And that was also Tales from. The Crypt that was also Gallery remember yeah, yeah.

Oh yeah, that's yeah, that's true. It got real shoddy there in the end. I don't think Dark Side ever leaves its current situation until it just runs out of viewers. Basically, well, if I see Kenneth Welsh in one of these episodes, I'm going to know they went to Canada. I know he's the dead giveaway.

I will say, though, to your point father alone, this show's were you know about what halfway through the second season, and the consistency and quality of the show has not I mean, there's there's been episodes that haven't been great, But I will say even the episodes of this show that haven't been great have been better than most of the episodes that were, like the really bad episodes of the other shows were like halfway unwatchable. Some of them I would never not only would I never revisit them, but I don't even know if I remember Red Snow. No, none of us probably. Remember that I remember Red Snow. I'll never get over Mancho Grande.

But you know what I mean, There's plenty of things where I could mention things we would not remember and it would be like remember that. No, and this show doesn't have that problem yet. No, nor does it have any episodes that made me grind my teeth and want to throw the television out the window. So, well, that's the pacing, right, Like, that's the no. No, no, that's not just pacing, that's intent and plan of attack.

You know. Well, this show lucked out right because this show wasn't handed off five fucking different times to five different fucking people. Some of the shows we've talked about have literally been like handed off so many times. The people who started it were like three people ago, and they're long gone doing god knows what else far away from here, if they ever had anything to do with it to begin with. In Tales from the crypts.

Case, well that was true. Yeah, definitely Chails from the Crypt because it was only those first two seasons that that show was any good at all. And then those other two idiots took over and then what Night Gallery was a fucking fist fight from the get go. Oh yeah, yeah, we're lucky. This should show that it was that it retitled and added post segments to those.

Oh that Gary Collins thing, yes, yes, thank you, gosh yeah, oh yeah, that got really dreadful there. But the Twilight's one eighty five, Like you said that that from season one to season two, I think they had enough. They had enough like Juice from season one, but they fractured immediately. That was a dream team of that first season, and then it got so fractured that they ended up in Canada and we were had endlessly gauzy episodes of people playing piano and catching balls with their children. It was weird talking to their future or past or alternate selves.

Cool. I loved it. It was so good. Yeah oh yes, but and this show has had none of that. Like, this show's middling episodes have been just what I expect middling to be, but somewhat better than even that.

Yeah, Tales from the Crypt got real dark there at the end. For going back and listening to some of those episodes, it's two people being subjected to what can only be described as the cinematic version of water torture. Just left in a room. It was like the Saw game. Just saw your fucking leg off, or keep watching tales from the cripts like fine, whatever, it's.

Like you had TV's Frank beaming those up to you. Yeah, it was not good. It was this show is. I don't think the show gets there, but it hasn't gotten there yet. We're essentially about to be, you know, like halfway through the show, so.

Now we're round of the bend. I liked I like seeing a guess So in this episode, that's what she's wiping out her paintings with. It's like a it's basically chalk and glue and like pigment, just like a very light white pigment. It's just primer effectively. That's what's on her face at the end, right.

Yeah, she's being whited out. But then she should have been really guess oed it. They could have done something spectacular with it. So that was a failing, the only other failing. And it's not a failing necessarily, it's not something that they were planning.

But her sister is so aggressed in denying her this reality of what's going on that I thought that she knew something we didn't and that would be revealed, like had the sister done this before? Because she was she seemed oddly concerned at first, and then you know, the ambulance shows up before her accident and she points this out and she's that's weird, and they're like, only to you, Kate. No, it's not only to you, Kate, it's to everyone on planet Earth. You know, like I watched the groceries disappear. Well, you used to do LSD.

No that that's not a thing. The groceries were here and now they're gone. You did drugs. It was one time, Karen. It was one time in college.

I did crust. Yeah, what do you auto? From the Simpsons? Whoa man? What is one of this works?

You don't trip acid? Thirty years later she could, but. She peppers her whole language with whoa man? That's out of sight. Like hippies, hippisms.

I'm like, old lady, you left the commune a long time ago. You said, said ash Ashramliver. You. My my first wife's parents were ex hippies. Let me tell you those phrases stuck around.

Did you eat a lot of avocado sprout and Mao sandwiches. Yes, m yum oh, yes, they were fighting the system. Anything else about this one other than the fact that fucking that's two protagonists dances in a row. Good for you, tails from the dark Side. No folks given zero.

I appreciate it. Can they do it again? Monsters in My Room? This is Season two, episode ten, aired originally on December the twenty second, nineteen eighty five. Written by James Stephen sadw was directed by James Stephen sad With.

This one stars Greg Malavey, Seth Green, and Beth McDonald. This is an episode about checking for monsters under your bed because you know you got an overbearing dad. This is ursa minor, everybody, which I think of this one? Chris, Yeah, you know, you know you almost got all the way there without stealing it, right, I mean, it really is ursa minor, right, It's it. It's so unfortunate, it's so close to ursa Minor.

And I'm not saying that if it wasn't two episodisodes away, we wouldn't be saying the same thing. Because again, the three of us have pretty good memories and ability to recall stuff. As you can sit here and listen to us talk about things we've talked about before, so one of us would have undoubtedly said it if we had gone any further without having seen this episode. But pretty much just ursa minor again kid, it's not I mean, it's or some minor, but at the same time it's also again kid has a dickhead dad. Dickhead dad doesn't believe in monsters under the bed.

Monsters under the bed helped the kid with the dickhead dad. Bing bang boom, you set him up, I'll knock him down. Yeah, I mean that's it. Like it's like the most obvious of obvious things, and it has seth Green, who at this point has not yet battled Pennywise the clown soon though very soon. He was in training here.

Yeah, he's Richie toasuring it up as it were, young Harry, young Harry Dean Anderson, right, isn't that is that. Who plays the Harry Anderson Perry. Not not maguire, Yeah, grown up Harry Anderson, right, because that's who he plays. Right. Yeah, it's again we've seen this before, and I think we've seen this in like extended versions of this or variations in this show and other shows.

It's fine. It's Seth Green. It's always weird to see him because he's been acting longer than I've been alive. So yeah, Seth Green of so many points of pop culture reference, really, so. It feels like this must have been right around the time of Action Family.

I don't know if you guys remember that Chris Elliott special. It was that and FDR or One Man Show, which was in horrible taste but just so fucking funny. I remember both of those. Yeah. This was also the period where Seth Green was dumped into a trash can by Bill Murray backstage It's at a NightLive because he was sitting in his chair.

I'd never heard that one. That's funny, endearing himself to the youngsters of Hollywood, one child actor at a time. Bill. Yeah, I was reminded of so yeah. I was definitely reminded of ursa minor.

I was reminded of the shadow Man episode from fuck is that a good episode? And I just kept thinking about that instead. And I know that wasn't the kid's father. It was more of the bullies, but his father basically is a bully, And I was like, Okay, great, yeah, use those monsters get this guy. But it wasn't as cool as the other one because I'd like the whole thing of you know, you use the monsters and then the monsters use you, or I'm a shadow man from someone else's bad It's okay.

Yeah, I was just reminded of better things, and I was like, this one just felt and went on forever. I love the creature design because all I could imagine, because it looks very similar. It is something I really love. I just imagined Jurgen Prock now from In the Mouth of Madness under the bed with those goddamn tentacles, because the tentacles in this look very in that movie where he's got like the tentacles reaching out of him, it looks very similar. So that's all I could imagine when these tentacles keep coming out from underneath the bed.

Because the other creature design is time machine esque, one might say, Chris, do you read Sutter Kane drink Sutter home? You know what's weird? Guys? This just the other night was my yearly attempt to watch In the Mouth of Madness, and I got to. Oh, dear God, you must hate this movie.

I got to I got to the bike rider this time. I got that fun pretty good. You remember it about Hayden Christiansen. Hayden Christiansen's not that well really, Yeah, you're the kid on the bike, I think, so riding into the town. That's Hayden Christensen.

I believe Hayden Christiansen is in the movie. It's some point, yeah right, there might be he might be the kid after he leaves the town. Actually, Francis Bay plays Missus Pickman, while Wilhelm von Holmberg plays Simon. Hayden Christiansen makes his film debut, briefly seen as a paper boy. Yeah, I did, can't get that far.

Yeah, you definitely didn't, because that's you. Know why, because that movie's fucking garbage. Amen, ain't your you know what they say, ain't your goat, ain't your bloat it, don't blow your goat, baby, Prince of Darkness, ain't my Prince of Darkness, ain't my bag? And I know people love that. Movie, so yeah, but you active that movie?

What Prince of Darkness. I haven't seen it enough to really have strong feelings about it. I actively hate this movie. I've only seen it the one time, and I remember it going okay. One of my favorites.

But I get cool, I get it. You know what was going on with this speaking of this generation, because this is the same generation writing it, I guess they all agreed that if you were named Biff, you were a fucking problem. Right, you're such a fucking biff, you know, hello, hello McFly Yeah, Like, what the fucking Christ? And here's here's the dad. This is a situation that I can kind of relate to, which is the you know, the kid can't relate to you through sports?

Sorry some you know, there was a center Live Scant recently, the wishing Well for Sensitive Boys by Fisher Price, you know, for your kids who have a lot on their minds. You know, Seth Green would do well with one of those. I also such a little dandy. He's such a little fairy boy, as they would say, right, like he loves his dollies and he loves his movies, and he. Says, oh my god, would you talking about me?

That is the way, like how many of us were perceived that way. Oh you don't like sports, You sit in your room, you like movies and books, like okay, let me throw the football at you. You fucking weirdo. Thanks, I mean that didn't happen to me specifically. Pacifically, it did, but not specifically.

I think. It reminds me of the main kid from the Sandlot, and I felt, you know, saying that's got a lot more hurt to it. Yeah, it reminded me of the kid from the Twisted Sister music video. Technically also applicable. I like it.

This is an episode that aired at Christmas, takes place at Christmas, but doesn't really comment on the fact that it takes by Christmas. Love love an episode of anything that does that. Is this a Christmas movie? Oh Christmas? New hot take?

Monsters under Your Bed is a Christmas episode? Yeah. I like the design of those creatures as well, but they're just on screen too much. There's no menace to any of this. That's the real problem here.

What should do people? What should be happening here is Seth Green should be menaced in the day by this fucking horrific step dad and these monsters under his bed and in the closet at night, And we don't really get that. It's just oh, look at that thing, Look at that thing over there. He's got a giant buzz saw that that comes through the room. That should be fucking terrifying.

It should be cutting up shit and you know, making him freak out. It just hangs out in hovers. Is that a monster? Is a buzzsaw? A monster?

Well, it's a childhood fear, you know, it's a nightmare kind of image. Yeah, right, I know it just getjacks. I mean in Canada you dream of that all the time. Right, That's what I'm getting. It's just oddly oddly specific thing.

Yeah. Yeah, when the monsters just goes towards the buzzsaw with the stuff. God, I'm going to steal the land, young maiden. No sniderly whiplash. No, you're leading him down on your macho road.

It's all down Macho road. Gentlemen, we made it. What's the What do you think the miles per hour on Macho Road is sixty nine? Oh? Well, I know I can't fifty five.

Four? God, it's is it? Not? Though? If you were to write this in this day and age, this would seem like a passe concept.

Right, It's seen passe then, just the way I presented it. The most obvious and obvious ways. The overbearing dickhead dad like who loves sports. Is that the only outlet the sports or hunting? Now that all that stuff was fine, but as you pointed out, Mike, like basically the same year they did the perfect episode of the thing coming out from under your bed and childhood fears, and you should no longer have those childhood fears, like you know, that's a more of a manifestation of that kid's you know, state of mind.

Here, it's just happenstance that these things are hanging about in the kids room. It's not you know, they're not He isn't manifesting them or anything. It's just and what happens now that his dad is dead, They're just there. You have these monsters in your. Room for the rest of live there.

Yeah, yeah, totally. It's Mike and Sully from Monsters, Inc. Just hanging out having their cigarette break. Where's the kid? Yeah, I'm gonna get Panda.

It'd be very much cooler if it was Steve Buscemi's character from Monsters Sink instead. Oh yeah, yes, exactly. Then this could be a scary episode and then we would have something to latch onto instead of just you know, again, it's what you said, Chris, just pass a kind of thing. Yep, it's not scary. Person gets his bier gets bit.

Yeah, like guys a dick the end, how much? I guess The real question is how many dickhead dads have we seen get there come up in these anthology shows? A lot, a lot of them. There's at least one in every series. Yeah, and if not at least one.

It's like a step dad or a step mom. The parents are always getting it. Yeah, they can't ever just commit to your your prick of a father, right, it's always stepdad. We need that that level of remove. Is this guy's his dad, No, this is his stepdad.

Yeah, that's why they don't get along, because all fathers and sons actually get along. Right. Oh, that's true, right, and no stepdads ever get along with their sons. Correct. That's what I've heard as someone with a dad and not a stepdad.

That's what I've heard. But in the end, none of that will matter because you're on tails from the dark side and you're all just going to be murdered. By the monsters under your child's bed and gave you a heart attack and killed you, and your kid's just cool with it. I guess. Well, yeah, how are.

They going to make money? Now? Those monsters going to go to work? Well, hey, I killed this kid's dad. Can I bag your groceries?

He does, I'm going to have. To go to work at a fucking mill. Now, yeah, he's the only one really qualified to do work. I mean the dad, oh. The buzz saw.

Yeah right, that's fair. The dad's not and he's dead. I was working down at the mill and then they had a bunch of layoffs. Let us all, let us old blades go, these gay blades. Wouldn't it have been more interesting if it had been like ghosts?

And at the end of the episode, the kid's dad comes out of his closet as a ghost. Ooh, yes, right, you know what, Honestly, something more to this, you know what I mean. I don't want to give this one any creativity. I don't want to give it anything. No, I mean, it has none.

That's my point. It's just it's kind of surprising how little effort was put into this segment, like shockingly little. It's so obvious and so just like matter of fact in one plus one Nichols two, Like, I almost feels I don't know why you feel obligated to tell this story is frankly what it feels like. Yeah, it isn't you know? There are only so many slots to fill.

This was one of them first season. Yeah, this is particularly after Ursa Minor. Like, how TJ, what's going on? So close? Yeah?

To have these two episodes what three weeks apart? Yeah, here's proof. I guess that the show runner on to just not direct an episode and because he fumbled a bit here with letting this get on. Yeah, well yeah, I think, and I think the placement near Ursa Minor really for me is like the strange, the strangest thing here, because you would think, like anybody programming the show would look at those two things and be like, these are too close to be even if it is just two weeks, like. After enough time, even after they let it get through the process and they're both filmed and ready to go, obviously you have to release this one at Christmas time.

It takes place at Christmas, and they don't have a Christmas this season, so just move ersa Minor until later in the season and go, hey, we perfected thing you saw earlier. And Ers Miner wouldn't even have been during Halloween. It would have been literally what the second fucking week around Thanksgiving for mid December? I guess so I don't. Yeah, yeah, this segment's just strange.

So it's we've seen this too many times before and so frequently that yeah, shame really. Yeah. Well, on the next episode of mid nine Viewing, we'll be taking a look at the next two episodes of season two. Those are Comic Watch and dream Girl. Midnight Viewing The Horror Anthology Podcast is a proud member of weirding Way Media Group and our theme song was composed by HP with an assist by Donald Rubinstein.

Until next time? What are you working on? Where can people find it? Chris Stashu. Weirdingwaymedia dot com.

Oh, that's where you can find everything that I work on, including this show, which we do with you once a week and then you do it earlier in the week with your co host, who is much cuter than either one of us could ever hope to be the dog, right Ripley, Yeah, she's much cuter than Mike and I. Sure cuter than all of us put together. Definitely, Yeah, right, she's cuter. Than all three of us combined. Yeah.

Really, I don't know why she's not hosting this show just all three times? Why is you just talking to herself all three times? While because she doesn't like tail some dark side? Well wow, well this might be the first thing we disagree with your dogs rute this rough rough rough you know how to say anything else? If she either will not watch something or she will non stop bark at it.

So well, But yeah, this show is on on weirding Way Media twice a week. Mike's show, The Projection Booth is on there at least once a week, The Culture Cast my show is on there at least once a week. So that's where you can find at least the things that the three of us work on. Yeah, over Weirdingwaymedia dot com. What about you, Mike White And oh actually you know what.

By the way, I do want to mention if you want to support this show, Patreon dot com slash fa them alone will allow you to support not only father Them alone, but this show. And you should be doing that because if you're listening to this show, take a moment and think about how much a show is worth to you. And if it's worth even a dollar, that's more than you might be giving now. And I think that for what we do a dollar is you know, it might not seem like a lot to you, but to us, it's definitely something. So that would be my just little as we head into the end of the year, that would be my little statement to you, as dear listener, as one of the two people who is kind of in charge of the bus here as it were.

So, what about you, Mike White? Is that a dollar for all the episodes or is that just like a dollar a year or how does that work? Then? Just give me a dollar? Just give them a.

Dollar, okay, repeating once a month? Oh okay, yes, the entry twelve dollars, twelve hole. Dollars in one year. You spend more on a cup of coffee once a week. I guarantee it.

If you live anywhere in this country. It's twelve dollars for a cup of coffee. Well, I mean yeah, but you're not just getting a couple offfe You're getting like a thing with a thing and you get the other thing. Right, it's a couple of it is it only seems to be twelve dollars, doesn't. It at least?

Right? And you know, come on now, yeah, as for me, you said it all. Yeah, check out everything that we do where Dowamedia dot com.

We're going to have an episode on Live and Let Die, So come out over to the Patreon dot com slash culture casting Patreon dot com slash projection booth and if that's worth ten dollars a month, Wow, that's pretty expensive.

Yeah, I was just like you, just realized how much we're asking for. I'd say it's worth it, though, I'd say it's worth it. Yeah, you know I would agree that episode in particular, I should lay you on over there. Thank you both for your kind words, and thank you listeners. I did want to say this at the end of this episode that you know, over the past year, the listenership has doubled in size and it has now consistently beaten itself in its own little ratings a month after month, and I want to thank you all for tuning in and listening and joining us for all of that, give us a five star review, y'all, we'll get even more of you roped in once again.

Thanks for joining us here at midnight viewing. Until next time, try to enjoy the daylight. The Fatal to Exam
