When you think of Paul Winchell, you think of a ventriloquist, comedian, and actor. But, did you know that Paul invented the mechanical artificial heart? He hosted the Paul Winchell show on TV and appeared on “The Brady Bunch,” “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and “The Beverly Hillbillies.” He was the voice of many characters on TV cartoons, including Tigger for which he won a Grammy for his performance in “Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too.” His famous dummies Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff are in the Smithsonian Institution. In school his art teacher allowed him to receive credit for creating a ventriloquist's dummy and that got him started on his career at age 14.

It continues to be WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our third belated episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1981 to pick an animated would-be classic that seemed to have everything going for it: a beautiful nature setting in the Bambi mold, a timeless parabolic story about the irrationality of bigotry, and a once-in-a-lifetime animation crew loaded with literally dozens of future directors. How could they possibly screw that up? Welp, dull dialogue, a meandering story, muddled character motivations, instantly forgettable songs, an inept fumbling of the anti-bigotry message, a side character who should've died inexplicably living, a pointless B-plot where two birds and a caterpillar do third-rate Tom & Jerry shtick, and what the hell, why not throw in some incompetent studio mismanagement that drove about a dozen animators to resign and form their own studio while we're at it, that's how. Meh, at least the furries got something out of it. Join Tony Goldmark, Dave Cobb, Charley Marlowe and Jacob Martin as they try to schedule a disastrous playdate for THE FOX AND THE HOUND!

Three goofy ghosts running a moribund motel for the dearly departed? That's a GREAT idea for a cartoon! Then how the heck did Hanna Barbera make this so... so... below average!?! It's a sad thing when even the likes of Paul Winchell, Joe E Ross AND Alan Oppenheimer cannot salvage this mediocre effort. If they couldn't, what hope do us ameteurs have?

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode, in which our good friend Madeline Maye makes us watch one of the first episodes of a 1988 ABC Saturday morning cartoon produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, a series that came about when the executives said "So yeah, Winnie the Pooh's a big popular brand for us, let's just slap together a cute little Pooh show to sell some more plush toys to pre-schoolers, it doesn't need to be mindblowing or anything." To which the writers, artists and showrunners responded, "We are going to make an episode about Rabbit looking after a baby bird that will rip every last audience member's still-beating heart right out of their asses and show it to them before they die drowning in their own salty tears." Join Tony Goldmark, Madeline Maye, Chris Nebergall and Renie Rivas as they count all the bees in the hive and chase all the clouds from the sky back to the days of THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH, season one, episode four, "Find Her, Keep Her!"

Personal Note: The mic fiasco of 2021 ends with this episode! Praise Chuck because this was the episode I bawled over when it all began. I sincerely had the best time chatting with Joel and loved listening to his stories. I was so glad his audio was perfectly fine, and it was my audio that was messed up. Unfortunately, it just took me forever to edit this podcast so this episode is LONG overdue. In this episode of The Game of Nerds Podcast, we sit down with amazingly talented Joel Gibbs. He is known as the man of 1000 voices. Technically it's 783, but who's counting? Joel has been doing voice acting since the '70s in the Philadelphia area. I was beyond honored that he sat down to chat with me about his career. This man's resume is astounding. He is not only a talented voice actor, but he's also been a director, radio, and podcast host, to name a few. We first talk about what we've been recently obsessing on. Joel jumps right in by talking about all the fun characters he's been getting to do recently. I finally got to watch the new Tom and Jerry movie that at the time was just released on HBO Max. I'm still unimpressed as when I first saw the trailer. Joel talks about how the ventriloquist Paul Winchell, and Hanna-Barbera era cartoons like Tom and Jerry, were really the inspiration behind his love for voice acting. He loved doing the voices of different characters and entertaining people with them. As a child, it started with puppets and eventually moved on to mimicking his teachers' voices for the other kids at school. His first paying job was doing an Ed Sullivan-type voice for a car or shoe commercial. It wasn't until a few years later that he realized voice acting was going to be his career when he mastered Don Vito Corleone, aka The Godfather. While it took him a while to be known as the "go-to guy" for voiceovers on the East Coast, his talent was a huge driving force in his success. His most favorite jobs were head shop commercials in Atlantic City doing the perfect impressions of Cheech and Chong. Joel fondly remembers when he couldn't turn on Atlantic City radio without hearing his voice on the radio multiple times in a row. With over 40K projects done in his career, he has no regrets on any of his projects. The only hard part he's run into is clients not knowing what they want. Thus, it's hard to get the right recording. He does offer some great advice for those interested in getting into voice actors if you have talent and passion. While there are a wide variety of different courses now available on voice acting due to the pandemic, Joel does suggest going to programs with actual successful professionals like Nancy Cartwright. She is known worldwide for being the voice of Bart Simpson and other beloved animated characters. Ultimately though, it does come down to talent and practicing that talent. Once you've nailed doing the voices, you need to build your own recording spot. The remote home office was common for voice actors before the pandemic even started. Most companies won't pay for an actor to travel to record, so the home recording is the way to go. As with most cases, if you want to play with the professionals, you have to have equipment like the professionals like microphone and software. Recording equipment isn't cheap, but the price can affect your sound quality in some cases. Case and point, Mic Fiasco of 2021. We saw this also with SDCC 2020 with the Bob's Burgers panel, where they talked about making home recording studios with egg crates in their children's closets. Joel has no complaints about the job, though, and even states he really doesn't see any cons to the career either. On top of being a talented voice actor, he's also a great host for podcasts and radio programs. I asked him, "Which is easier, doing interviews with celebrities or doing voiceovers?" He says they are very different but allow him to express himself in the same way. He's gotten to have some amazing conversations ...

In the early 20th century, a puppet fervor slowly crept across the America, like rust on a Chevy Nova, as travelling shows made puppeteers into full fledge celebrities, particularly the self-proclaimed “America's Puppet Master” Tony Sarg who was instrumental in creating visually appealing versions of classic children's tales and bringing to life puppets in live action and animated films. Concurrently, ventriloquism acts were breaking from music halls and vaudeville shows to find superstardom led by duos of Arthur Prince and Sailor Jimmy, the Great Lester and Frank Byron Jr., and, of course, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. America got wood for talking wood. The rise of radio, television, and film provided even broader platforms for puppeteers and ventriloquists to spread their infectious amusements. In a world before special effects, making inanimate objects come alive felt magical and more real than still nascent animation. It was children's television that really embraced puppets as Howdy Doody and Burr Tillstrom's Kukla and Ollie were beamed directly into the impressionable minds of the baby boomers. Lambchop lovin' Shari Lewis, sweater-clad Fred Rogers, and googly eyed Jim Henson all followed suit shortly after making themselves and their creations into international superstars.At about the same nuclear age time frame, you couldn't throw a stone without hitting a socially awkward (and probably sexually frustrated) kid unsuccessfully practicing throwing his voice with a shiny new Emmett Kelly or Mortimer Snerd dummy emulating their heroes like Jimmy Nelson, Bil Baird, and Paul Winchell. They would spend hours listening to instructional records on letter substitutions and tongue positioning. The craze permeated far and wide as even Miss America contestants chose ventriloquism for the talent portion of the show. We even got so lazy that we decided to let robots run our puppets as animatronics started popping up all over place like Disneyland, Showbiz Pizza, and Chuck E Cheese.In this episode, we are going to stare into the cold dead eyes of the dummies. We are going to explore why and how adults mimicking mannerisms into lifeless masses became the preeminent evangelical apparatus. And how things went so far off the rails. So, dim the lights and focus the spotlight. Put on your duck tail tuxedo. Tip your top hat jauntily askew. Straighten your bowtie.

In the early 20th century, a puppet fervor slowly crept across the America, like rust on a Chevy Nova, as travelling shows made puppeteers into full fledge celebrities, particularly the self-proclaimed “America’s Puppet Master” Tony Sarg who was instrumental in creating visually appealing versions of classic children’s tales and bringing to life puppets in live action and animated films. Concurrently, ventriloquism acts were breaking from music halls and vaudeville shows to find superstardom led by duos of Arthur Prince and Sailor Jimmy, the Great Lester and Frank Byron Jr., and, of course, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. America got wood for talking wood.  The rise of radio, television, and film provided even broader platforms for puppeteers and ventriloquists to spread their infectious amusements. In a world before special effects, making inanimate objects come alive felt magical and more real than still nascent animation. It was children’s television that really embraced puppets as Howdy Doody and Burr Tillstrom's Kukla and Ollie were beamed directly into the impressionable minds of the baby boomers. Lambchop lovin’ Shari Lewis, sweater-clad Fred Rogers, and googly eyed Jim Henson all followed suit shortly after making themselves and their creations into international superstars. At about the same nuclear age time frame, you couldn’t throw a stone without hitting a socially awkward (and probably sexually frustrated) kid unsuccessfully practicing throwing his voice with a shiny new Emmett Kelly or Mortimer Snerd dummy emulating their heroes like Jimmy Nelson, Bil Baird, and Paul Winchell. They would spend hours listening to instructional records on letter substitutions and tongue positioning. The craze permeated far and wide as even Miss America contestants chose ventriloquism for the talent portion of the show. We even got so lazy that we decided to let robots run our puppets as animatronics started popping up all over place like Disneyland, Showbiz Pizza, and Chuck E Cheese. In this episode, we are going to stare into the cold dead eyes of the dummies. We are going to explore why and how adults mimicking mannerisms into lifeless masses became the preeminent evangelical apparatus. And how things went so far off the rails. So, dim the lights and focus the spotlight. Put on your duck tail tuxedo. Tip your top hat jauntily askew. Straighten your bowtie. Stick your hand up the bottom of your favorite inanimate object and throw your voice as far it goes. Join as we walk through the uncanny valley of the dolls. Just don’t let us see your lips move.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Let's visit the Hundred Acre Wood on The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom! Recorded on October 26, 2016. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. I realized it had been many episodes since we’d visited Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom so that’s where we are going this episode! We are off to Fantasyland to ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh!  The guide map describes this attraction by saying: Travel through the Hundred Acre Wood in an oversized Hunny Pot.  There are no age or height requirements for this attraction and the Thrill Level describes it a Slow Ride. Before we get blown away on a blustery day, here are five fast facts about The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. 1. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh opened at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom on June 4, 1999. 2.  The attraction replaced the incredibly popular Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride that had been an opening day attraction at Magic Kingdom. Small nods to Mr. Toad are included in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh including a painting in Owl’s house showing Mr. Toad handing a deed over to Winnie the Pooh. 3. The ride vehicles for the attraction are motion enhanced.  This allows for a ‘floating’ sensation the rain scene and the bouncing sensation when Tigger appears. 4. Many Voiceover legends plays parts in this attraction including Jim Cummings as Pooh, Tress MacNeille as Kanga and Paul Winchell as Tigger.  This would be Winchell’s last performance of Tigger before he retired in 1999. 5. In 2010, the attraction was given a brand new queue area that features several interactive elements to occupy guests as they wait.  Included in this is a treehouse play area.  Guests who look closely at the carvings in the tree can spot a Nautilus submarine! A tribute to the classic 2000 Leagues Under The Seas attraction. Now let’s ride The Many Adventure of Winnie the Pooh at Magic Kingdom.  After the ride I’ll give you my thoughts on this attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we head to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom to ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh!

 CALLING ALPHA CONTROL: MIKE CLARK EPISODE SYNOPSIS: We welcome Mr. Mike Clark to Alpha Control for an exclusive interview. Mike has had a long career in television on the camera & production side of things. He also had a 15-year career as a feature writer for the classic Sci-Fi Film/TV magazine STARLOG. During his career he’s had the opportunity to interview most of the original cast members & some of the behind the scenes creators of the show, including Irwin Allen himself. As a result, he’s become something of a recognized expert on Lost in Space. So much so that, Mike Clark was featured as the main facilitator on the Cast Commentaries ‘Special features’ that are included on the incredible LIS: The Complete Adventures Blu-Ray set. Today we’re speaking with Mike about his love for Lost in Space. He’s going to share with us what he learned about the show writing for STARLOG, what it was like to make those incredible Blu-Ray Special Commentaries & what we know now about the show that we didn’t know back then. MIKE’S BIO: Mike grew up in Florida during the 50’s and 60’s and enjoyed a golden age of television programs. He developed a love for many of the classic TV shows of that era and credits an interest in television production to ventriloquist Paul Winchell and his creation Jerry Mahoney.  Boomer-era favorites included Adventures of Superman, The Twilight Zone, Supercar, Fireball XL5, The Outer Limits and of course, Irwin Allen’s Lost in Space. For Mike’s 10th birthday, he appeared on a kid’s show at WTVT, Tampa, and that’s when he committed to a career in television.  By Mike’s 16th birthday, he was a volunteer at a local PBS station and rapidly became a valued member of the production crew. Mike met his goal of working at WTVT in 1972.  Attending the University of South Florida, Mike graduated with a degree in Mass Communications. Mike spent 5 happy years at WTVT but Hollywood beckoned and he arrived in Tinsel Town about a month before STAR WARS opened at the Chinese Theater. He initially worked as a video equipment salesman and free-lance video producer/editor before ultimately being hired by Sony Pictures Entertainment in the production and on-air promotions field.  Mike personally produced over 7,000 promos and promotion for shows including Seinfeld, Who’s the Boss, Mad About You, Married with Children and The King of Queens. Luckily, Irwin Allen was also at Mike's studio and he often when to the producer's office to lobby for a LOST IN SPACE movie. Mike’s first LOST IN SPACE event was held in Anaheim in 1985, celebrating the series 20th anniversary.  Other articles for STARLOG followed and he met Kevin Burns, whose executive skills helped promote LOST IN SPACE by issuing new videos and a range of collectable toys.  Kevin often turns to Mike for moderating LIS Fan Convention panels and called upon him to assist in the LOST IN SPACE syndicated specials of the 90’s and the Blu-ray release of the series' 50th Anniversary. Today Mike resides in Southern California running his own video production company Clark Media Productions PODCAST INFO: This interview was conducted on 21 June 2018.

In 1937, Americans began a Sunday night ritual that lasted three decades. They tuned in to the Bergen and McCarthy show. It was the top program on radio and Hollywood's top movie stars lined up to make cameos. They included Mae West, whose flirtations with McCarthy got her banned from NBC for 15 years, and Marilyn Monroe, who once became "engaged" to marry McCarthy -- a stunt that ended when the dummy couldn't submit to a blood test. The arrival of television produced a new set of star ventriloquists, including Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney, and Senor Wences and Pedro, the famous head-in-the-box who's favorite phrase was "S'awright!" But none was as enduring as Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop, who debuted in 1957 on the Captain Kangaroo Show. Lewis went on to star in several children's TV shows in a career that spanned five decades, until her death in 1998. Asbury says she was more than just the best female ventriloquist -- she may have been the best ventriloquist ever because of "boundless talent and energy" and her ability to change with the times.
