I won… really… ????
I dreamed of that seen I filled a voucher with my mom, around age 10, to win a trip to DisneyLand.
And that’s much, much better.
I want to thank all the people who supported me, my cat, my coach, my bank agent, myself, my chair and all the listeners.
Should I punch somebody? I’m fairly new at those awards ceremonies… But it seems that’s a thing to do.
Can’t wait to get that big fat check…. Don’t be sneaky.. nor sticky !
And thanks for Ian and Dave to be themselves and put their economic life at risk to fulfill other’s dreams.
Just called Jonathan, he and the others winners are reserving me my spot on that wonderfull private beach…
I’m joking… (the check don’t need to be that big).
But that’s cool ! And we learned a lot of usefull things !
ByyYYee !
I mean Jonathon….
You’re a kind man, Regis. Welcome to the beach. Only problem is the CD player is broken and keeps playing Sneaky Dragon Ep 1 on repeat!
P.S I wished Mum had used the more traditional spelling of my name. Sounds like a telethon raising funds for ‘Jons’
Felicitations, Regis. Dave and Ian could’ve saved beaucoup d’argent by “impartially” drawing the name of a grand prize winner which did NOT require them to spring for international postage. But they have too much integrity for that. Say, there was no question of the week, so I have one. It combines a dollop of Trollope with a dash of the Austentacious. Last week I listened to an audiobook of “Lady Anna” and quite enjoyed it. Dave, if you’ve read it, did it remind you thematically of “Persuasion”? Sub-question: I know you don’t watch trailers, but there’s one out now for a new adaptation of “Persuasion” with Dakota Johnson as Anne. It looks like they’ve Bridgertonized it. I don’t mind very loose adaptations of Austen as long as the underlying message is the same. I thought “Fire Island” which is a new homage to Pride and Prejudice set in the LGTBQ community showed how universal that plot is. What is the worst movie adaptation of a book or graphic novel you’ve ever seen?
Hi,
Merci beaucoup!
Speaking french. In The Boys, Frenchy is quite perturbing as he speak french with the accent french have when they speak english… And nothing like a Marseillais.
For Dav’n’Ian, They can wire tranfer the money! No, really as they are coming to France in a not so far future, they can endorse the postman role and maybe save some money but mainly do me a great favour…. Even empty handed.
So Canada IS dry! Even in winter?
Take care… And as the greatest french movie stated in its title Calm Down and Drink Fresh…
Congrats Regis.
Blank Check! I do recommend listening from the beginning. I never thought a movie podcast could be funnier than The Flop House. I hear their next mini-series is going to be about the films of Bob Fosse which I have no experience with.
Thanks for answering my questions! I love the show soooooooo much
Way to go Regis!! Now we can put those Bampton conspiracies to rest.
I’m just happy I won something too, my address is on it’s way.
I think you guys could do an entire podcast on toys alone, that part of the episode was the best. I had all the same toys you guys mentioned; Hot Wheels tracks, Maskatron, the shooting gallery and the Fisher Price movie player. I had the hand held one as well that took the same cartridges as the screen player and I can remember having “Mickey and the Beanstalk” too…I think that one came with the player. It was a study in animation at an introductory level like Dave said. One of my close friends had the Hugo puppet, Man of 1000 Faces, who was kind of creepy but he liked it because he took and interest in stage makeup and theater later.
I had the ViewMaster hand held toy, which was really fun, especially since whoever photographed those slides staged these almost realistic 3D characters for the photos…and G.I. Joes doing shit underwater and in the snow, etc… The Peanuts and Looney Tunes ViewMaster slides had those 3D characters that didn’t look animated, but sculpted and real, do you remember those? The thing I did with the ViewMaster projector was to project the images onto a piece of paper taped on a wall and draw over the images in order to learn how to draw that stuff. It was kind of like having an Art-O-Graph years before I used one in college.
You were thinking I’d be in disagreement over your Fantastic Four fan-casting thoughts, but I completely agree. Unknowns and DO NOT bring Doom into the story right away! Jesus, the Fantastic Four have a million other villains they could bring on before Doom, imagine the possibilities. Just think how badass Annihilus could look?
I also think Idris Elba would make a terrific 007, he has everything needed…may be getting a bit older than the others when they started, but he looks better as he ages anyway. Hollywood….
Great 550th show guys! I’ll wait until the night before the 650th show to send in my next batch of questions!
