Tim and Jen invite Alex Rancourt of the Saucer Cinema podcast to marvel at Saul Bass's disquieting sci-fi dreamscape, Phase IV!View the alternate ending that should have been the theatrical ending to Phase IV on YouTube.A couple of interesting side notes about the Oscar-winning faux documentary Alex mentioned, The Hellstrom Chronicle: it was conceived and executive produced by David L. Wolper, the TV stalwart who shepherded massively successful television miniseries like Roots and The Thorn Birds, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Additionally, Walon Green, the screenwriter perhaps best known for William Friedkin's sleeper masterpiece Sorcerer, co-directed and produced the film.A quick web search proved that the busty wasp mentioned by Alex isn't real, except perhaps in our hearts.We alluded briefly to this article at Dennis Cooper's blog discussing film treatments of LSD, with a fabulous collection of acid-related GIFs accompanying.

Tim gets the bit (or byte?) between his teeth and rants about the 90s and the lost promise of the internet, and a little bit about cheapie TV movie Max Knight: Ultra Spy! Jen just tries to hold on as best she can! Oh yeah, and this is part one because we don't know how to shut up!You can easily tell how white your hosts are by their lack of knowledge of UPN (not the only tell, if we're being honest), which provided a home for black shows and showrunners alike. Or at least it did for a while, before a gradual whitewashing leading up to the network's merger with the WB. The Hollywood Reporter provides a post-mortem.[Former senior VP of comedy development at Paramount Pictures Television] Rose Catherine Pinkney believes the decision to merge UPN out of existence came down to ad revenue. “Ultimately, you want the most dollars that you can get for your ads,” she says. Though UPN's Black-led scripted shows (which by the end of UPN's run included Eve, All of Us, Everybody Hates Chris) were largely popular with audiences, advertisers were evidently less inclined to pay top dollar to support shows targeting Black viewers. Farquhar, co-creator of Moesha and The Parkers, recalls an advertising person saying, “We're not interested in ‘downscaled demographics.' ”They still make Tamogochis, holy shit.Can't get enough of PCMCIA cards?

Jen and Tim pick their top five favorite subjects from the first one hundred episodes of the show. It was supposed to be their most and least faves, but they just talk too damn much! Looks like they gotta record a whole other episode to air their least faves of the first hundred.If you watch just one episode of the (sadly few) remaining of the British series Dead of Night, "A Woman Sobbing" should be your pick.Outsider art enthusiasts: walk, don't run to catch Romeo and Romeo.

Tim and Jen enlist the help of Bitter Karella to wade through the 22 minutes of treacle that is the forgotten faux-Peanuts special, Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus.See this slab of gelatinous treacle for yourself at the Internet Archive. William Conant Church, brother of Francis Church, did indeed help found the NRA in 1871, in an effort to improve marksmanship amongst the broader American militia. He and brother Francis co-founded several news publications, including the New York Sun, and he also co-founded the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Additionally, Frank Church was not the volcel depicted in the Yes, Virginia special— he was married to a woman named Elizabeth Wickham. In spite of Tim's joshing, it appears that Church did not have a severe yet shapely assistant who browbeat him into publishing the editorial addressed to Virginia O'Hanlon. The O'Hanlon letter was passed on by Edward Page Mitchell, the real-life editor-in-chief of the Sun.Karella alluded to the "Season's Greetings" meme drawn from Douglas Dixon's Man After Man, a kind of speculative art book about possible evolutions of Homo sapiens. If you want to see more of the weird art, the book is free to browse at the Internet Archive. Finally, if you want to pretend that it's 1974 again and you're spinning some 45s, you can hear the theme song for the special sung by a piercing li'l Jimmy Osmond.

Tim and Jen finally give the departed William Friedkin a proper sendoff with a discussion of his once-maligned masterpiece, Sorcerer. Guest Darren Herczeg provides his usual able assistance.To clear up an anecdote Jen related during the episode: she says that Paramount president Charles Bluhdorn freaked out when he spotted himself in the group photo of oil company executives in a scene from Sorcerer. The source of this story is screenwriter Walon Green, who describes Bluhdorn as having had a "shit hemorrhage" during the screening. However, a review of the offending scene reveals only other Gulf+Western execs, not Bluhdorn."To me, they looked like a bunch of thugs," Friedkin said (as quoted in Peter Biskind's Easy Riders, Raging Bulls).Catch the documentary Friedkin Uncut on Tubi, where the man himself evokes Hitler in the first five minutes.

Tim and Jen discuss a beloved epic whose time has come, the Peter Weir masterpiece Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World!The GQ article mentioned appears to be yet more proof of the widespread affection for this film. The doctor who pioneered sanitary practices in medicine was Ignatz Semmelweiss, although these ideas didn't take hold until the time of Joseph Lister. Additionally, other medical men (like Oliver Wendell Holmes, for one) arrived at similar notions independent of Semmelweiss. The latter, in fact, refused to publish anything about hand washing because he believed these practices to be “self-evident.”If you want to read about Grover Cleveland getting surgery at sea and see some icky-yet-illumunating photos, the New York Academy of Medicine has a good blog post about it.

One interviewee theorizes that the local lions' taste for human flesh stems from generations of slave traders who left injured or dying captives to their fate in the bush.This 1996 Entertainment Weekly article sums up how bad Val Kilmer's reputation got to be in Hollywood.As Richard Stanley, who directed Kilmer for three days in The Island of Dr. Moreau before being fired, recalls, “Val would arrive, and an argument would happen.” Says John Frankenheimer, who replaced Stanley: “I don't like Val Kilmer, I don't like his work ethic, and I don't want to be associated with him ever again.” And Batman Forever director Joel Schumacher calls his onetime star “childish and impossible.”Entertainment Weekly, May 31st, 1996You can watch the tiger attack video Tim mentioned, with added context.

Your hosts range widely and freely on the topic of horror: specifically, found footage horror. The films discussed are The McPherson Tape, The Blair Witch Project, Backrooms, and Horror in the High Desert.Watch The Backrooms short we talked about here on YouTube.Director Dean Alioto talked with the Found Footage Critic about UFO Abduction and Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County, aka The McPherson Tape:In 1989 Dean Alioto shot his first film, UFO Abduction, for a meager budget of $6,500—the master copy of the film was subsequently destroyed and thus the movie was never widely released. Ten years later Dean Alioto pitched UFO Abduction to Dick Clark Productions, who picked up the idea and gave Dean Alioto a $1.2 million budget to shoot a remake for television. In 1998, the remake was released entitled Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County (a.k.a. The McPherson Tape).Over the years the names of these films has resulted in a great deal of confusion. Even to this day, both UFO Abduction and Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County are referred to as “The McPherson Tape.”Found Footage CriticAn explorer named Tom covered the tragic story of the Death Valley Germans at his blog, OtherHand.

Tim and Jen start spooky season early with a shockingly dark release from Disney, Return to Oz.Jen forgot to mention that the main reason the film does not resembles the MGM film from 1939 apart from the Ruby Slippers™ is because all of the trappings of the MGM version were and are copyrighted. In fact, Disney had to shell out to use that plot device in the film. Hence, while Walter Murch's desire to make a moive closer in spirit to the L. Frank Baum material is admirable, it most likely played second fiddle to the demands of copyright law.Additionally, the movie finally made a profit from a 1949 re-release, not “like twenty years later” or whatever Jen glibly claimed.Animator Doug Aberle made a video where he talks about his process for animating the demise of the Nome King. Plus, he includes interviews with the late Will Vinton.If you want more details about the drama between Sarah Polley and Terry Gilliam, you can read an excerpt from her memoir here.
