Speaker
Oh my God. So welcome listeners. We are back with Yabba Zonkers Oinks, the Saturday morning experience from Gen X point of view from our Gen X memory banks. And we we've got some really cool stuff to talk about today. So my name is Josh. I'm your host and I'm here with Tyler. Hey everybody.
00:01:12
Speaker
So glad to have you. So glad that you've come back and you're listening to us. Hopefully you are, because this is this is something that we love to do. We love to talk about this old stuff that we grew up with. So very old.
Vintage Records and Vinyl Discussions
00:01:25
Speaker
Ancient. ah Actually, I think we're called vintage now. That's a nicer word. Yeah, vintage. My vintage hurts.
00:01:34
Speaker
My vintage has been aching for the past 10 years. So let me let me start this episode with ah with a question. What's the last record you played on your turntable? Oh, okay. So, uh, I have a ton of vinyl and I don't have a record player. What?
00:01:54
Speaker
the when The last time I had one hooked up um would have been 2009 and I would have been frantically going through any vinyl that I could have sold because I have it on compact disc.
00:02:11
Speaker
So I remember I had a big exercise of going through a lot of my my records just for that purpose. So it's not a fun answer or you may want to edit this out. No. Aspirate for a turntable that I can burn onto iTunes and and appreciate my vinyl again.
00:02:32
Speaker
Because I was flipping through some of it tonight because there's so much that I have that's not available digitally or even on CD and it's just I'm not enjoying it. This is a very long answer. ah So ah the honest answer is I don't recall and let's move on. I am I am so shocked.
00:02:54
Speaker
I think I told you my vintage hurts. Um, the, there's a Baebler radio has a sale every once a year. And if you miss it, you miss it where you can trade in your old turntable towards a new one. Yeah. I do have one that's packed away that I can't use long story. So I'm hopefully getting one this April and then I can finally start burning some of this stuff. Cause the last thing that I, okay, here's an answer. Here's an answer. If you want to edit all. That's a great story, I'm leaving that in.
00:03:27
Speaker
the pins and needles. The last record I took to your house so that you could burn it for me was the Sundance Kids featuring Butch Cassidy from the Hanna-Barbera TV series. You burned the A side and the B side for me. And of course, iTunes doesn't play it, which drives me up the wall. ah So that's probably the answer would be blue by the Sundance Kids featuring Butch Cassidy. I'm very happy with that answer.
00:03:57
Speaker
Wow. Yeah. Wow. See, and I thought this was going to be sort of a lively like, Oh, and just last week I played this and. ah No, no. Yeah. On CD that I could talk about that, but not on vinyl, unfortunately. Oh, beautiful, beautifully packaged of all formats. And yep. No, I don't have a cool answer there. Sorry. Wow. Okay. So my answer. Yes. Um, kings of the wild frontier, adamant. Yeah.
00:04:25
Speaker
yeah I was playing it this morning. But that's actually not the real, real answer because the real, real answer is that I actually put on the Read Along Sleeping Beauty 45.
00:04:41
Speaker
Who's narrating that one? Do you know, is it, is it lifted dialogue from the film or is it just somebody, you know, turn the page when Tinkerbell? Yes, it's one of those. yeah It was the, it was the second version of the Sleeping Beauties. Cause the first one came out in the, in the fifties, the second, uh, was it the fifties?
00:05:05
Speaker
The second version of it, no, sorry, the sixties, the second version of it came out in 77 and that's the version I have. That's the small version because I also have the long play. Okay. which Which would have been, which would have come out earlier than that for Sleeping Beauty. Sleeping Beauty is Disney's most gorgeously animated film ever.
00:05:25
Speaker
And I'm sorry that it doesn't get the attention that it deserves.
Disney Records and Storytelling
00:05:28
Speaker
And I appreciate that it's maybe not everybody's cup of tea, but the backgrounds and the character designs, like it's just flipping gorgeous. Yeah. And like they just knocked it out of the park. And I'm so sorry it was a flop for them because if you ever watch even just the Blu-ray, I'm hoping it comes out on 4K, but the Blu-ray is stunning. Like they cleaned it up or it's just like, it's it's it's literally a masterpiece. You know, I don't know how they pulled it off back then and watching it now remastered is just incredible. I have the soundtrack on CD, but I never had the story in the and the record. Oh, yeah. No, this was narrated and I i wish I had taken a note as to which one it was.
00:06:15
Speaker
But it was the gentleman ah who did the, he did almost everything in the, in the later, the later years for the reissues. Cause they, they kind of did their, their sort of first run at the Disney stuff. Then they did some other things. And then, you know, a few years later they went back and they did another run with the Disney, in the Disney collection. They did that with Sleepy Hollow. Yeah. Like about Crane, there's, there's a couple of versions.
00:06:39
Speaker
Yeah, totally. And I, so I have, I have two copies, like the 33 and the, it's not, it's it's dead they both play at 33 speed, the sort of eight inch um version. I was playing that earlier today just to kind of hear that and, and, and feel what that sounded like. You know, it's funny because I didn't have the read along books. I don't think I did. We might've had one or two, but they were probably not the Disney ones.
00:07:09
Speaker
They used to, you know, you would go to the record store and that section would be like three feet deep, you know, because Disney just was a machine with those seven inch with books and the 12 inch, you know, like just, or those spinning racks and all those beautiful covers, you know, just like,
00:07:31
Speaker
Just because you know there was no home video, you know there was only this you know souvenir from you know either a TV show or a movie. you know there The marketing behind the Disneyland record label was amazing.
00:07:46
Speaker
yeah It was absolutely amazing. Like the, um, the other, the, the other record companies that were producing these as well also had a ton of things and they, they did all the other things that weren't Disney, like the superheroes and they did like the movies, uh, you know, like Star Trek and Star Wars. I think Star Wars actually done by Disney. Um, there was a company called Peter Pan records and they started doing this in the late forties.
00:08:17
Speaker
um and had their biggest success through the 50s. And then they changed to Power Records in the mid 60s. And they were the ones that did Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, Six Million Dollar Man, all that other cool stuff. Don't forget CoJack. CoJack, because you know, when we were kids sitting around watching CoJack was our favorite thing to do. But what if I want to listen to it ah during the day?
00:08:48
Speaker
you know all You could hear is him second on that lollipop. He's the the bald guy with the lollipop. Yeah, not my favorite. I think my dad liked that show. i I was not crazy about it. Kmart had a huge selection of the power records stuff, and that's where I got my Fantastic Four.
00:09:07
Speaker
i was like like excuse my french pissing in the store i was so excited like i'm like i'm going to be able to listen to the fantastic four and follow along like can we please get home faster because i'm flipping out you know Just those, but just, oh, you know, again, because this is before home video, this was the only way to enjoy stuff off hours, you know, and it was just, you know, record stores and bookstores, like they were just magic, you know? Well, yeah, because you think about it, we didn't have any other media cassettes weren't even around yet. You know, so we had records and live TV and that was it.
00:09:54
Speaker
There was no recording, you couldn't record anything. There was no VHS, like none of that was even around
Family Influence on Musical Appreciation
00:10:00
Speaker
yet. Exactly. and So so was was music in your house, like did you grow up with with you know parents that had music in the house? 100%. My dad had a massive record collection that was pretty varied. you know um This was before he went full on country, but he had a ton of soundtracks, which I thought was pretty cool.
00:10:24
Speaker
He had a lot of surf music, a lot of comedy records, you know, where I was like, you know, he had company over and he listened to the Bob Newhart record, you know, um and a lot of novelty stuff. like i um But it's not that his collection was cool.
00:10:44
Speaker
But it was interesting to look at all those like James Bond soundtracks. You know, well, these don't have lyrics, you know, this is just music, you know. So I have a real appreciation of soundtracks. Well, I have them. I have that appreciation regardless. But I guess I had the him having such a huge soundtrack collection made me think like I was automatically cleared for having the same. Yeah. Yeah. So that it was OK.
00:11:11
Speaker
Yeah, but that's, that's a little older years, right? yeah Younger, the books, the books with the records were everything. And with Disney, I didn't have a lot either. I had Pecos Bill, which I thought was a little rowdy when I was a kid, but I would listen to it. I had, you know, the whale at the Met, the whale that only wanted to sing at the Met or whatever.
00:11:32
Speaker
That is. um And then later I would collect Sleepy Hollow and a Haunted Mansion and The Black Hole. um My favorite to 12 inch when I was a kid was the Lovebug record because it came with those beautiful illustration book. I was 12 by 12 and you get like 20 pages or whatever. And the same thing with The Black Hole, um where, you know, the whole record is just lifted right off the film. So I memorized all the dialogue and all the music, you know,
00:12:02
Speaker
And just, you know, they did that stuff right back then, you know, they didn't they didn't cheap out on anything, you know, and so much of those, of course, never made it to compact disc. I have a couple of Hanna Barbera knockoffs like Snooper and Blab and squiddly diddly. And I have a really cool Casper Halloween official record nice on CD. Yeah. Yeah. like That's really cool.
00:12:28
Speaker
And, you know, you can get bootlegs of like the superhero ones, um, like the fact that they made justice league of America records in the sixties, you know, Aquaman and the flash. I'm like, this is incredible. You know, um, and even had a Barbera Japan, they had a Johnny quest record. They had a space ghost record and they had a Hercules record. So, you know, it was just, it was just incredible times. You know, if you cared about this stuff. So with the Hannah Barbera record, did you ever have the Adam Ant record? No, I never did. and I don't either. and And it's on my wish list. You know, I may never, you know, pull the trigger, but it's good got such a beautiful cover. You know, it's just like, oh, you know, so beautiful. But I know you have records to show me and I read you. Do you go first? You go first.
00:13:23
Speaker
Okay. So just to, just to start off my story as well, like I grew up with music in the house. I guess I, my mom and dad brought their record collection and it was mostly yeah like country Western. Um, and a lot of Elvis, my mom loved Elvis. yeah And then they had some, some, uh,
00:13:43
Speaker
classical music, which I thought was weird because I never really heard them play classical. So maybe it's just something they grew up with and then just kind of, you know, like a wedding gifts. Oh, I didn't even think of that. That's, that's a possibility. You're some culture at 33 and a third. We, we, sorry, mom, but we, we were not very respectful of mom's record collection and we would often play with the records and not on the record player.
00:14:12
Speaker
Um, running the barbecue they were great frisbees. Sorry mom. Um, and they were great for rolling them down the hall. Oh no. Uh, which is probably why my parents couldn't listen to them anymore on their great big gigantic six foot long cabinet stereo with this stack bowl auto changer. Yeah. that No, no moving men could ever yeah you hope of pushing. I think it was sunk into the floor. It was so heavy. Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:41
Speaker
So yeah, so we always had, we always had records. And then as, as I guess we were at that age where we could, you know, play music on our own and we were seeing movies, we were starting to get soundtracks and a story of, you know, kind of things. And some of them were probably from other families like hand-me-downs. Um, and some of them might've been new. I think that, uh, when I got the Dumbo soundtrack, I was probably,
00:15:07
Speaker
the happiest kid on the planet for that moment. And I remember unwrapping it because Dumbo was an incredible movie for me. There's a lot of music in that movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was just, like and I still have, so that's my viewers, you can't see it, but I still have my original 1963 Walt Disney production Dumbo music from the original.
00:15:31
Speaker
uh, from the original motion picture.
Memories of Disney and Superhero Records
00:15:34
Speaker
It's just, it's so gorgeous. I rescued this from my mom's, uh, attic the last time I was out in BC. And records weren't cheap. It wasn't like it was cheap entertainment. You know, it was, I guess it was affordable, quote unquote, but it wasn't cheap. The, the other one that I grew up with was another story. One is the mop at records. And we had a few mop at records when I was growing up.
00:15:59
Speaker
Uh, I didn't read anything about them when I was doing my research, but they did a lot of the, they did Cinderella and Peter Pan and cowboy ranch, uh, Goldilocks. So they did a lot of those sort of nursery rhymes, but the complete Peter Pan, which was a musical song and story was, was my childhood story time. Like this was it. I played this record nonstop. Like it just, I had this Peter Pan story burned into my brain.
00:16:29
Speaker
I had that with the Peter and the Wolf music. Oh, yeah. Riveting when I was a kid, like I just couldn't stop listening to that music. Yeah, absolutely amazing. And and just some things I collected as an adult, I got the original ah Sleeping Beauty told and sung by Mary Martin.
00:16:50
Speaker
It's beautiful. Oh, know it I don't think either of us have it. The Orange Bird record. No. Yeah, that's a beautiful record. I think there's a 45 version too. Beautiful. face And then the other the other one I added to my collection ah was is the Escape to Witch Mountain because I loved that movie when I was a kid. I love that movie and I was with Josh when he found that record and I was like, oh, like, holy, what an incredible find.
00:17:20
Speaker
full actually are That's actually on CD. It's discontinued, but like when I got released on CD, I was like, wow, it's not that cover though. No. That's that's a beautiful cover. Has that got a book inside? the illustrated It's an 11 page full color illustrated book and it's sending that sort of watercolor. It looks like they just watercolored the film. I'm just, I love that. yeah And there's the Winnebago flying. Oh my God. So amazing. That was a great find.
00:17:50
Speaker
such a captivating movie, you know? So awesome. And and a couple of the ones that I added to my collection was a Mary Poppins from Disneyland Records and It's a Small World. And it just, it's just those memories. I sang everything.
00:18:08
Speaker
That's funny that it's a small world is a 12 inch record because I'm sure parents would be like, honey, honey, honey. Like you pick up the needle. No, we've got 44 more countries to go. Exactly. It's just the same song over and over again in every language. And then turn it over for side two.
00:18:29
Speaker
for the other 78 countries. Exactly. Exactly. That's really funny. But that's a beautiful cover, too. Yeah. I mean, like, duh, that's marketing. But, you know, Disney, of course. Right. Like just yeah every release was perfect. All right. What do you got? OK, mine are all I think most of these are factory sealed than I bought as a collector.
00:18:53
Speaker
I don't know even know if you can see this. Here we have Johnny Quest and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. ah Two very incredible things brought together. Do you see that price sticker that's still on there? Yes. 47 cents. 47 cents, kids. forty Was this from like 1872?
00:19:16
Speaker
I mortgaged my farm for a Johnny Quest record. And here's the man called Flintstone from the motion picture, but like check out that cover. Like how beautiful is that? So gorgeous. That's beautiful.
00:19:31
Speaker
We got to get you a record player. Seriously. This is also factory sealed. Shazam. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. With Kabooby. So were these, were these stories? Yes. These are story albums. Oh, that's the best. This is my funky fan of record from when I was a kid. So this was also on a 45. So this was four stories. Um, but the 45 had two stories, same cover, but I still need it because, you know, if you collect, you collect, right?
00:20:01
Speaker
But what's frustrating with this is it's none of the original voice cast. So, you know, that part's frustrating. But, you know, Peter Pan records. That's so cool. Almost done. This is my factory sealed fang fangs. Nice. This is the original cast, which is really cool. And this is like near the end of when we just kind of stop doing this. Yeah. And when they turn to cassettes, you know, I'm sure there's a lot of He-Man and strawberry shortcake cassettes out there.
00:20:31
Speaker
And this ah is the the Disney black hole story record with the 12 page book. And I listened to this every day over and over, like for a couple of years, you know, and I would play with my battle circle. I was good toys while listening to this at my state Lego. This one for ninety nine from record explosion. Wow.
00:20:59
Speaker
That would have been an explosion. Yes, yes, but there's so many like the Hanna-Barbera records, you know, there's all the Scooby-Doo ones and I had them when I was a kid, and but I got rid of them because the cover art was so awful.
00:21:16
Speaker
I just felt like this bothers me, but now it bothers me that I don't have them. But there was Winsome Witch, there was the Hillbilly Bears, there was the Hair Bear Bunch, which I still don't have. I think that record won that record. But yeah, I want my Love Bug record back from Walt Disney because the illustrations in that book, I would just stare at those photos like they were a movie.
00:21:45
Speaker
Mm-hmm. They were, they were, yeah right? It was the movie like right there in your hands. You could read it. Cause that was all lifted dialogue and sound effects too. You know, so, you know, I brought down to 45 minutes maybe, but you know, just, that's how you, you learn and appreciate all those actors and all that music and all sound effects and you know, how great all those things really were.
Star Wars and Iconic Records
00:22:12
Speaker
but One of my favorite ah growing up memories was when I bought the story of Star Wars record. So is that is that the R2 and C-3PO on the cover? Yes. Okay. i know I know it. Yeah. So for me, I would just like sit in my room in the dark, put this on and relive the movie.
00:22:35
Speaker
So with it was all they it was right there. Was that music and sound effects and dialogue? and Yeah. ah Yes, it was. I think my dad had that eight track, but I don't think he ever played it. He probably didn't realize what it was. Maybe that's what it was. and Of course you couldn't return things back then. No. But yeah, I've never heard it, but that There was a lot of Star Wars records. Yeah, that was a big one. I mean, I had the soundtracks too, because I just, I was nuts over this. I mean, this movie changed my life. And again, i no home video. No, oh there was nothing. There was no other way to relive it. I, you know, I read the book, I played the soundtrack, and then I would listen to the story of Star Wars and just over and over again, couldn't sing to that one, but you know,
00:23:17
Speaker
ah So some other really cool things that I discovered when I was doing my research, Capitol Records also got into this business too. And they actually created Bozo the Clown for a children's record library. Really? Like that's where the character started? Yeah. You could often get all those old radio shows on vinyl back in the day. Yeah, totally. That was pretty cool. um And that also included Mel Blanc, who did Bugs Bunny, Looney Tunes,
00:23:46
Speaker
And there was actually some Disney records that were narrated by radio announcer Don Wilson, if that name sounds familiar. But yeah, some really great history. um Another really cool thing was Peter Pan records as they did all those, those other things that weren't Disney related. They also created a character probably in late seventies called disco duck 76 and the disco duck dance party. And he was a DJ who played cover versions of popular disco hits.
00:24:21
Speaker
Oh, cause there were so many cover records back then. It's all everywhere. And especially if especially during the disco age, right? That would have been great to you know get that kid audience in there. Don't waste your money on buying 30 different records just by this one. It's got all the hits. you know You'll never guess who the voice actor was for this duck.
00:24:46
Speaker
Well, no, because you're not talking about Rick D's official disco duck, right? Like you're talking about. No, this was this was ah Peter Pan Records yeah version. No, forgive me. It could have been anybody. Don Messick. Oh, OK. The original voice of Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo. Oh, right.
00:25:08
Speaker
everyone' Everyone's favorite nephew. Scrappy dude. That's awesome. ah So yeah, so really cool. and the the The children's music business back then was was pretty amazing.
Music's Influence on Childhood
00:25:25
Speaker
Like I said, I was a kid that was, I was a performer and I wanted to sing and I memorized all these records and you know I had lots of records when I was a kid.
00:25:34
Speaker
I want to say Donnie Marie, the Osmonds, I would sing Osmond Records, Bay City Rollers, just all that kind of stuff. It was always in my life, but I always had these kind of um musical things. that There was always music in our house. My parents would buy eight tracks and we'd stack them up and put them in the truck. So we always had music to listen to. Yeah, yeah yeah that was just normal. And every family, well, I say every family, but Most families did exactly that. Yeah, yeah Okay, so we're gonna play a ah true or false game. Oh, okay. Okay, you're good at this walls Okay,
00:26:14
Speaker
okay so True or false. The first album produced by Disneyland records label was Walt Disney takes you to Disneyland. Okay. I'm always bad at these. I'm going to say false only because that seems too late. Cause you know, Disneyland, uh, I, I really liked the question. I really do. ah My gut says false. So we would be cashing in on something else before that, but Josh is nodding his head. So I am. No, I'm shaking my head. I'm saying that's your clue. No, it was actually the first recording that they did. Um, and it was actually Walt himself and it's the only album that Walt recorded specifically for the company. So they apparently did other things, but this was their first snow white, no Bambi. No, no, this was gold no this was the first. Oh, that's weird. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Weird. Okay. So great question.
00:27:14
Speaker
Yeah, true or false. Disneyland Vista worked with Rankin Bass to release six recordings tied to The Hobbit 1977 animated
Disneyland Records Trivia
00:27:25
Speaker
film. I'm going to say true only because they did that for Rankin Bass. This was the night before Christmas.
00:27:31
Speaker
You are absolutely right. They also did Frosty's Winter Wonderland. yeah it's Yes, that's right. they They did. And it's weird to see that Disneyland logo on another studio's property. Yeah, isn't that weird? yeah I didn't know about those. yeah I remember the the Hobbit animated film because it was so different from the Lord of the Rings sure animated film. But it's good in its own way, but it had music. It was a musical. Was it? ah Yeah.
00:27:57
Speaker
but i Well, yeah, kind of like that, but knife not so much dancing i be because they weren't very good dancers, but that's a whole other story. That's a different episode. That's very funny. How about Latin for can't dance. Exactly. Falls lots. Yeah. Okay. True or false. Robie Lester is an American voice artist, actress, and singer, best known as the voice of Miss Jessica.
00:28:28
Speaker
miss Jessica from, from rank and badness. Yeah. Uh, miss Jessica from Santa Claus is coming to town. Yes. Okay. So it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, right? But I don't, uh, what was the first part of the question? Um, the, the Roby Lester is the name of this person who was an American voice artist.
00:28:50
Speaker
Oh dear. Cause I don't know her name. Uh, I'm sure the answer is probably true, but I'm going to say false cause I could have sworn it was a different name. No, it was actually true. That's the name of, uh, the person who did those voices. Plus get this, the singing voice of Eva Gabor in the Aristocats. And now Santa's not going to come and visit me here because I got it wrong.
00:29:15
Speaker
No turntable for you. Also the rescuers. I like the rescuers, you know, like it's, it's a later film and it's not perfect. Oh, wait a minute. Are you saying that's not Jaja and the rescuers? Not singing.
00:29:32
Speaker
Oh, not singing. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I like the rescuers. Yeah, I did too. I enjoyed it. It's a good film. I think I was still young enough to be like, yeah, yeah, you know, it's, it's, it's got its problems, you know, and I'm not crazy about but the style of any of it.
00:29:49
Speaker
but it's a decent story. yeah And I have the Rescuers, what's it called? the Rescuers Down Under or something like that. yeah yeah It's part of the Blu-ray package and I don't think I've ever watched it. I don't think I've ever had a job. No, probably not. Okay. And so one more thing about Robie Lester was also the original Disneyland story reader for the read-alongs.
00:30:13
Speaker
Oh, really? Yeah. So that's why that came up because, um, she was the one who did the original, you know, and then when you hear Tinkerbell spell, you can turn the page. wow Yeah. So that very first run would have been done by a Robie Lester. And she's probably still waiting on those royalties. i'm Sorry. They're not coming. a Not coming little lady. Sorry. Oh, so sorry. So sorry. Okay. Here's another one about Robie Lester. Okay. Cause I'm doing so well here. Robie Lester's voice was also.
00:30:43
Speaker
the narrator on the story and song of the haunted mansion. Really? Wait, is that a true or false? Yeah. He's telling me that.
00:30:55
Speaker
No, it's a true or false. Uh, okay. Cause here's the thing. I'm no, that's not true because everybody thinks it's supposed to be Paul Freese on the record and it's not. It is little Ronnie Howard. Um, yes but, uh, I can't think of the gentleman who does the haunted mentioned record because everybody who was raised with the record goes on the ride and says, well, wait a minute. That's not so-and-so, but I can't think of the guy's name. Cause I only care about Paul Freese.
00:31:24
Speaker
Well, the, the, this, the article that I was reading actually said that Robie Lester was, uh, one of the, like on that record. ah every way She may have been there as a female. Yeah. So that was, that was probably her. is Yeah, but she's not literally narrating. No, she's not probably the main narrator, but certainly on there. Yeah. ah Okay. So true or false sleeping beauty is number 301. The sleeping beauty read along is number 301 was issued in 1965.
00:31:53
Speaker
Did you say the reissue came in 65? No, it was issued originally 65. Well, I mean, that could be true if they weren't cashing in on the year of release, but it came out years later. I'll say true. Yeah, absolutely. It was the first one listed to their catalog.
00:32:09
Speaker
Okay, yeah. 3-0-1, Sleeping Beauty. Maybe somebody was saying, hey guys, you know there's opportunities here. And five or six years later, they finally listened. Well, yeah, because with Sleeping Beauty came out in what, 58? I thought it was 59, but I'm not im not Yeah. I got 57 and 58 on the, on the story album for the copyright date. So I think that's when the movie came out. So way before my time, but man, when they, I guess they put it back in the theaters in the, in the seventies and that's when I saw it. That always happened too. I'm not just seeing that on the big screen. And I did. Oh.
00:32:48
Speaker
ah And the dragon. ah man Just, you know, oh it's a masterpiece. It's, it's even the sound of that movie. Like when she takes her staff and bangs it on the floor, like that. I heard it right there. own Yeah, exactly. Right. Like, Oh my gosh. Just anyway. Yeah. We could have a whole episode just on.
