Пълният препис на Night Gallery S02E10 (The Dark Boy - Keep in Touch We'll Think of Something)

up? I did notice that? Yeah? Yeah, 58 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.000 so bizarre did he say in the Twilight Zone? And it was a 59 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.720 lot smoke in the opening segment for some reason in the in this thing? 60 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.680 But yeah, ordinary was it? I think his back is turned when he 61 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.879 says night gallery eventually, right, yeah, might be? Yeah, that 62 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:30.600 was just bizarre. I was like, yeah, I hope you enjoyed this 63 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:36.480 episode up, so what I think of the Night Gallery? No? Yeah, 64 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:41.639 go ahead? So what I thought of this. I thought this had 65 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:47.279 a lot of promise. I like this whole idea of the teacher who has 66 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.079 seventeen students but no, dear, you're only supposed to have sixteen. And 67 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:56.279 she's kind of getting gas lit by these old biddies who just seemed like they 68 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.160 would have been Samantha's relatives, but I don't think either of them were. 69 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.480 And I'm just like, okay, yeah, that's cool, Okay, Right, 70 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:10.639 Eventually we find out that this kid died and that they're thinking, now, 71 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:15.160 well, maybe we should move the schoolhouse or rebuild the schoolhouse because he's 72 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.319 going to be haunting these grounds. But it is so weird the way that 73 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:26.720 the information has told out to us, especially like what halfway three quarters of 74 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.399 the way through this story where the old farmer shows up, old as in 75 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.600 like forty years old shows up, and it's like, oh, here's my 76 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:39.079 son. He can barely be in class, you know, I use him 77 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.959 for work on the farm, you know, kids five fricking years old, 78 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.240 and keep him away from ladders. And I'm like, what a weird non 79 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:56.639 sequitur. And so I guess our main characters are real Sherlock Holmes because she 80 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.839 figures out that the Dark Boy must have been killed falling from a ladder. 81 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.639 Yeah, it felt a little long in the tooth. I thought there was 82 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.959 a lot of promise here though. That's that's my opinion anyway, how about 83 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.040 you, Chris Well, you gotta love the title first, This is great 84 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.839 The Dark Boy just boy. It really rolls off the tongue right into a 85 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.759 you know, into a into a into an area of where we just know 86 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.680 where this is going. Immediately, I'm joking, this episode is fine. 87 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.079 It's fine, Like, it's inoffensive, and the story that it's telling is 88 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.759 cutesye, and it's a little it's a little melancholy, it's a little heart 89 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.639 string pulley like. It's fine. I just don't as an audience member sitting 90 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:48.040 here watching this segment, I'm wondering what the director and the screenwriter or the 91 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.759 teleplay writer, because he gets based on a short story. I'm wondering what 92 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.079 they were hoping we would take away from this. And I'm not sure by 93 00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:01.079 the end of it that even those who lost can be found again. Maybe, 94 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.639 but they spend two thirds of the episode, like her, like Mike 95 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.759 said, being like a Sherlock Holmes trying to figure out what's going on. 96 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.759 It's like, what what do you mean, what's going on? Like it's 97 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.480 pretty obvious what's going on here? Like, I don't know, it was 98 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.759 fine, it was okay. I think my favorite thing about this show right 99 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.160 now is we're in this weird spot where it's like, on this week's episode, 100 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:30.279 five people who you've never heard of, like Gael saunderguard Like, okay, 101 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.399 fine, I don't know, Like it's weird all of a sudden, 102 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:39.399 Like the show for a while is having like people who are very bigger names, 103 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.600 and all of a sudden, it's like a couple of people that are 104 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.879 just like clearly mainstays of television at the time, or part of Serling's troop 105 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.440 of people that he normally works with. I mean, it's not a surprise 106 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.600 that this episode is directed by John Aston. He's been a he has been 107 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.440 as part of as big a part of this show as anybody has. Frankly, 108 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.600 I think we're spending an entire season with a lot of ghosts to the 109 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:07.360 frontier, like gentle love stories in both cases werewolves then just straight up ghosts 110 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.480 here. I can't wait for our vampire Old West story. This one is 111 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.320 incredible. Is that a thing? No? Okay, God, thank God 112 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:18.320 to say, I'll just you know, I just won't be on that one. 113 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.120 But just what you guys could do that, you guys, it'll be 114 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.320 fine. Oh and the yeah, and the Sterling one that there was that 115 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.879 was another Old West ghost one too, because we had we had the Phantom 116 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.559 Farmhouse with the with the Old West family that were a bunch of

werewolves. 117 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:39.080 So yeah, oh boy. Yeah. This season of of of Nike Gallery 118 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.600 is a is a pretty good document of the hills outside Los Angeles and the 119 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.159 changing of the seasons because it's much more bottom now here than we got just 120 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.360 a couple of weeks ago with big surprise. You know, I'm echoing what 121 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.039 both of you guys said because I was very intrigued going into the episode, 122 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.960 and I like those two gossipy women that she's that that she has to deal 123 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.559 with who are keeping secrets from her, and you know, I like the 124 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.159 doling out of the clues and everything. But in the end, what did 125 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:13.399 we get which is I'm not sure, but ultimately what we do get is 126 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.399 this ghost is befriended by the new school teacher, who is then befriended by 127 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.559 her by the ghost's father who doesn't have a wife, and they have a 128 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:28.000 romance, and then together they coaxed the child out of the schoolhouse too, 129 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.200 I guess, to go home with them. I don't know. I'm so 130 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.600 glad that the trauma that this child endured, that was so jarring that he 131 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.399 can't find his way out of our plane of existence, brought these two crazy 132 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.720 kids together, you know. That's what I took her way from the end, 133 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.399 like this was supposed to be kind of sweet, and I was just 134 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.799 horrified by the entire affair. I didn't get that they were becoming a couple. 135 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.799 So congratulations to you. I just did not pick up on that at 136 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:58.679 all. Congratulations to you. I mean, for serious, you definitely picked 137 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.720 up something that I did not at all. I think the episode wanted them 138 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.159 to be a couple, but I don't think it earned it remote. I 139 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.559 mean, look, it's like the same issue we're gonna have with the next 140 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.759 segment. It's like, what the fuck are you trying to earn here? 141 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.759 Because none of this is earned. It's very strange, like it's worse here 142 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:18.840 than it is in the next episode, because really they're like there's no chemistry 143 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:24.200 between either one of them at all. Michael Basilon doesn't look like he could 144 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.360 be bothered. It's just he just he's like, hey, my son, 145 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.879 come back to me. I love you. Please don't go away. And 146 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.360 it's like turn in a performance, Please don't just mumble through your lines. 147 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.240 That's funny. In my notes, I wrote, Michael Basilon not great the 148 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.960 emotion excommented and on hands on plate, like but that scene is supposed to 149 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.120 be their courting scene. As twisted as that is, but like once she 150 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.639 sees him in that sort of light that she's kind of falls for him, 151 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.759 and and then the end she takes his hand to like lead the kid out 152 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.399 of there. And the kid who who doesn't even realize that he's dead. 153 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:00.960 I guess it is trapped in this schoolhouse, has no memory of his mother. 154 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.799 Isn't he going to be confused by this new relationship? I don't know. 155 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.919 There are lots of questions that this thing brings up that it's not interested 156 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.840 in or remotely capable of answering. But it but by the end of it, 157 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:18.759 I guarantee you the showrunners thought they had in a satisfying way, it's 158 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.919 like far from it. Guys far from it. Yeah, they thought they 159 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.240 tied up everything in a nice bow. And really I was just horrified by 160 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.799 the entire ideal, Like what are the rules here for ghosts, Like, 161 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.879 yeah, the broad sterling rules. They don't know that they're alive, but 162 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.840 they can go to the other side as in heavens somehow. Did the other 163 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.000 kids see him? Yeah, no, the kids don't, because that's a 164 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.159 point in it where like on the first day, she's talking to the child 165 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.120 and all the kids kind of like stare at her and then immediately like flooed 166 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.559 away to go back home, and then the old ladies later on in the 167 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.279 episode say like, oh, well, we knew when the kids said that 168 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.279 they saw you talking to nobody there. So the kid, the ghost I 169 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:01.679 mean, is appearing just to her like he knows. I don't know that 170 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.080 there's no we all heard you talking to a little boy, and that's how 171 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:11.639 they all know you're fucking crazy. Now what wait the fucking what? Like 172 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.440 it's it's almost like there's two separate ideas here at play, one where it's 173 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.480 like we were having this character try to figure out what's going on, and 174 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.600 then the other part where it's like this weird love story that does not work 175 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.559

because it's not given enough time to work. And I don't think it would 176 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:33.080 have worked anyways, because they have no there's no chemistry between the two of 177 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.240 them, and Michael Basilon has no charisma. So I don't know how Elizabeth 178 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.840 Hartman could remotely find him attractive or enticing because he seems so flat. It's 179 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.039 like he's not even real. It's like he's a character in a poorly written 180 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.759 TV show. Right. The reason why I called him the old man earlier 181 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.440 is because even though he is a younger man, he seems like the old, 182 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.519 crotchety, firm hand, just like a bunch of strangers coming to town. 183 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:03.879 I don't trust anybody, but he is the devil. He's not person, 184 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.159 but he acts that way. Also, stay off ladders, keep everyone, 185 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.159 Keep the kids off the ladders. Get there's a kid off, if 186 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.559 there's a ladder in this room, getting him out. I'm just very superstitious. 187 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.679 Yeah, first they want to teach a CRT and now they want our 188 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.399 kids on ladders. Why was a child on a ladder is my question? 189 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:28.639 But was doing on a ladder in that one room schoolhouse? I just couldn't 190 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.519 see it. We just couldn't see it. It's like, what the fuck, 191 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.039 it's like one It's like a box. It's a literal box. Yeah, 192 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.559 hanging a drawing or something. Who knows. Speaking of drawings, she's 193 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.360 encouraging that one kid. He drew a six legged horse. That drawing was 194 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:50.000 terrible. The teachers are supposed to be encouraging the youth of tomorrow, both 195 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.120 alive and undead. Not these kids. They're all going to be dead. 196 00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:00.000 But by the next planting season. I'm sorry to tell you, children, 197 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.279 but we don't have enough food for all of you, so we're taking half 198 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.080 of you down to the orphanage. It is the field out pay. We've 199 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:13.120 had a severe case of choluma. Sorry. The one other thing I noticed, 200 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.759 at least in the copies of the show that I'm watching, instead of 201 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:22.759 fading the black for commercials, they've been using the paintings. Yes, yeah, 202 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:28.480 very effect very it's very jarring a lot. It was jarring to see 203 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.679 it for the first couple times because I wasn't expecting it, But now I 204 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.240 like they did it, and I noticed it more in the next segment because 205 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.279 I again I must have caught it immediately as opposed to like maybe looking away 206 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:41.840 for a second, I was like, oh, is that is it over? 207 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.120 I was like, oh, okay, no it's not. Or it's 208 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.639 still going like it fooled me into thinking it was over, and now I'm 209 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.679 like, okay, now I get it. I think it does work. 210 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.799 I think it works better than just fading out and fading back in. Eases 211 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:58.000 you back into your into your spot instead of just coming back from the latest 212 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:04.919 bar axe ad, snap, crackle and pop. Rod Sterling only smokes morrow 213 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:11.039 Borough reds. They give you that smooth flavor that's not Chesterfield. Oh really, 214 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.960 I don't know what Rod Sterling smoke, but I'm sure the answer is 215 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.120 out there. He seems like a Chesterfield guy. I mean he does. 216 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.080 Yeah, I'm trying to remember. Was that Chesterfield really satisfies? Was that 217 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.200 their slogan? Whatever it is, it puts out a lot of smoke. 218 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.840 It's assumed that most of you, in moments of weakness or in spasms of 219 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:36.440 compassion, that picked up a hitchhiker. The story behind this item here has 220 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:38.320 to do with a man who stops his car and invites a stranger in, 221 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.159 and such a stranger the kind that makes you wish you'd taking the buzzer stayed 222 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:49.759 in bed. It's title keep in Touch Will Think or Something. Our next 223 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.559 segment is called keep in Touch Will Think of Something. This was written and 224 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:59.879 directed by Gene Kearney. He's an autour now. This one stars Alex core 225 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.720 Joanna Pettitt is their second appearance. Last time. She was directed by John 226 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:10.079 Aston actually and Richard O'Brien. No, not that one, rocky horror fans. 227 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.960 I find this one kind of hard to describe. It's a guy who 228 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:22.240 like, here's a guy is dreaming of a girl like keeps getting I uh, 229 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.759 somebody helped me here somebody described as the thing this was. This is 230 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.599 one of the most bizarre segments of television I've ever A guy dreams of a 231 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:36.519 woman and then invents her stealing his car, and then she actually exists, 232 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.759 but it turns out she's hoping that he murders her husband because she's been dreaming 233 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:45.000 of him too, and so she essentially

causes it to happen by the end 234 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.319 of the segment, right, I just summarizing. You don't even need to 235 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.519 watch it. Does that sound interesting to you? It wasn't interesting in the 236 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:56.599 execution, so in explanation. It's just about as bad. I was interested 237 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.799 for a while. I was interested when I had fucking concept of what anything 238 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.119 that was going on, and then when I realized that it wasn't interested, 239 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:08.720 it wasn't interested in giving us anything concrete, then it kind of fell apart. 240 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:14.279 But as far as um on the baffling meter, oh it's a ten, 241 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:22.319 it's a real success in that way. Yeah. I'm glad Chris that 242 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.880 you broke it down because I was just like, what is happening in this 243 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.880 because it starts off very interesting. I was very intrigued by this whole idea 244 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:36.119 of Alex McCord. Who, my god, he talks a lot in this 245 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.160 episode, and I kind of like it, you know, I like his 246 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.400 voice, and I just kept thinking of him as what was he in Air 247 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.440 Airwolf? Was he Hawk and Airwolf? I think it was. That's where 248 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.079 I know him from. Yeah, he didn't have the eye patch, so 249 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.519 he was he was out of disguise. But yeah, he talks a lot 250 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.119 and he comes in. He's just like, hey, this woman is she's 251 00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:00.720 still in my car? Comes back? Oh, she's my car again. 252 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.279 I'm like, okay, this is really business? Are who is a strange 253 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.240 woman that's stealing his car and then you find out it's all a ruse. 254 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.160 I'm like, okay, well that was the most interesting part of the episode. 255 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.559 I'm totally tuned out now. Yeah, and then what's the name of 256 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.359 the name of the episode? Keep in touch? Will think of something? 257 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:21.279 I could think of that Mooring amsterdamn Like, don't worry, we'll think of 258 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.440 a title. You know. It's like, yeah, what is this thing? 259 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.119 I was hoping. I was hoping we had just talk about are Wolf 260 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:30.960 because as earns boarding nine and it. Can we just do that instead for 261 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:37.200 five minutes and call it good? This is like beyond unintelligible. I wait 262 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.440 what By the end of this, I was genuinely concerned for the people making 263 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.640 this show that they were confused by what they were doing too, Like, 264 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.119 I don't think anyone making this episode had any idea what the fuck they were 265 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.480 doing, from Alex Cord to the people who wrote it, to the people 266 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:53.920 who filmed it. I mean, like, when you're sitting on set and 267 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.640 you read this, here's the thing. The people who were in and this 268 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.799 read the script, and they read it just like we watched it and or 269 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.960 could read it what the fuck do you think they were thinking, like, 270 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:10.839 oh, this is really good. No, it's fucking not. Like they 271 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.359 got to speak to Jim Kearney, who probably explained what his intention was, 272 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.119 and then they went, oh, okay, and then they went with the 273 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.000 rest of us are less foundering because he didn't deliver it to us, or 274 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:23.240 they went okay, Jean walked away and rolled their eyes and made a jerk 275 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:29.279 off symbol like I don't know, Like again, what could what could someone 276 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:34.000 explain about this that this doesn't already spend twenty minutes trying to explain that entire 277 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.119 scene in the bar is beyond unintelligible, Like they're oh, I am, 278 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.279 I imagined you and you imagined me, and well, it's like, what 279 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.799 the fucking what? Like what are the rules here? What is going on 280 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.240 here? Who are you people? You have a star on your hand and 281 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.039 you don't have one now, so let me stab you with these scissors. 282 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.200 Yeah, it's you won't be able to go on tour and you'll have to 283 00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.440 stay home with me. It's it's like a twenty two minute segment, and 284 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.720 it's like eleven minutes of one story and eleven minutes of another story. It's 285 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.240 it's about a guy who keeps getting conked on the head by some sultry blonde 286 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.680 and she keeps stealing his car. And then it's a story about two people 287 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.680 who have been dreaming of each other and she's going to force to force his 288 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.119 hand quite literally to kill her husband. Like, those are two good stories. 289 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.880 I would have liked to have seen either of them played out in their 290 00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:25.200 full potential, but that's not what we got here. I will say that 291 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.400 I really liked his leather pea coat. It was really good. No, 292 00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:32.720 yeah, yeah, man, I mean he looks good. I mean Alex 293 00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:36.880

Cord looks good, he looks proper nineteen seventy one. Well, he looks 294 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:40.920 good. And the drawing of her looks amazing. I was just like, 295 00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:42.880 oh wow, that's a great piece of art, Like, and it's so 296 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.559 funny because I don't think that that's the art that starts this episode. Correct, 297 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.920 No, it's not at all, but probably probably Robert Wright did it. 298 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.799 What I wrote about the police sketches be on the lookout for a sultry 299 00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.000 blonde on the streets of say Francisco, Like, yeah, really gorgeous piece 300 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.160 of artwork. Like, I mean, it's it's her obviously, but like 301 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.359 I just thought that would be like if they did a drawing of him from 302 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.319 her, be like look out for a man with long hair and a mustache 303 00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:18.680 in nineteen seventy one right away. Yeah, they were very distinctive, and 304 00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:21.039 they were both married at the time. By the way, this is another 305 00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.319 night gallery sort of. Yeah, they did that once before. It was 306 00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:29.480 really good. Remember the one with the witches and the witch taking over the 307 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.880 woman's body. Wasn't that Weren't those two people married in real life as well? 308 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.440 We're as well as imaging Coca and King Donovan and the bricking him up 309 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:42.119 us of a Manteado the merciful. That's the best one a right as well? 310 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:45.839 Yeah, that's the best, best one over because it's like a minute, 311 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:51.880 yeah, look this. You know what's surprising. Rod Sterling's name isn't 312 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:57.599 on this anywhere like this. This is even worse than he has done. 313 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:02.839 This is probably the worst thing we've seen so far in terms of like being 314 00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:07.440 able to follow what's going along, Like what's happening in the episode is hard 315 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.640 to follow because the episode does not seem like it understands the story it's trying 316 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.880 to tell It feels like there's things that the characters know that they're not telling 317 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.079 us that we're never gonna find out. It's not worse than Tim Riley's bar. 318 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.079 Yeah, there's no one's singing for He's a jolly good fellow. Yeah. 319 00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:26.319 But at least I, at least we all understood what that was trying 320 00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.759 to do. That is true. At least I was like, I get, 321 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.559 I get what the point is. It's super saccharin and bullshit, but 322 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.440 at

least you, at least you nailed that this. I couldn't tell you 323 00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.119 what they're trying to What are they trying to tell us? I mean, 324 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.519 this is up there with the David Carradine one that we talked about as far 325 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:51.400 as nons. Oh, they're all hanging out at this weird mushroom tree stand 326 00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.599 thing at the beginning, like wow, this will be cool, just kidding. 327 00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:57.680 This is like, oh, this has an interesting ten minutes setup, 328 00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:02.119 and then eleven minutes of two people just going I dreamt about you, and 329 00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:07.880 I dreamt about you interesting. Yeah, and John Aston dreamt about that lady 330 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.640 in the house or whatever that one or no, the late be dreamt about 331 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.319 the knock at the door. That was a John Aston directed episode that I'm 332 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:21.480 thinking of and Joanna Pettit was so yeah, Jesus, you know it's funny, 333 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:26.240 like, just like logistically, they the police haul her in based on 334 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.240 the fact that a cop recognized her from that sketch and they put her on 335 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:34.240 a lineup, and at the end when the police say to her basically like, 336 00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:38.640 you know you, he's obviously filing false complaints. You can pursue a 337 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:42.160 civil action against him. But it's like they pulled her in based on a 338 00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.559 sketch. He didn't do any anybody. He came in and told him a 339 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:48.680 couple of stories, and then they went out and arrested her. She's got 340 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:55.279 no civil case against this guy. And then she just shows up at the 341 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.799 bar, smiling and happy, ready to spend time with him. It's like, 342 00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:02.799 why are you actively ending time with this person who might be unwell? 343 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.039 Yeah? Who brought who had me dragged down to a police station and make 344 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.400 me stand in a lineup? Yeah? Like I would be far away from 345 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.599 this person, not engaging with them any further, not happily going and sharing 346 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:19.279 a drink with them. But again, then you have this secondary story of 347 00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:22.480 I guess she was dreaming about him, but wasn't as crazy as he is, 348 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.880 to the point of, again, he's nuts. He's fabricating a story 349 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.960 to try to meet a woman that he doesn't know if she exists or not. 350 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.440 What is the mental stability of that character. He's our main character and 351 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.480 that's why we're following him. But like, that's not something a Staine person 352 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.920 does. She's been dreaming too, see, but she hasn't been doing the 353 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.559 crazy shit he has unless she Again, was she clubbing him over the head? 354 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.680 No, I don't know. I think so he should have been, 355 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.440 though, right, that would have been like that conversation would have been totally 356 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:57.079 different, Like, you know, look, I rescinded the police order for 357 00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.880 you, but like you gotta stop talking me on that. What you want? 358 00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.559 You really want that bad? You seem to have money. My nickname 359 00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:17.799 for you is little Bunny Foo foo oh no op. And somehow these two 360 00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:23.400 segments deserve one another. They kind of do. They're both They're both more 361 00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:30.440 or less unintelligible as to the overall theme that both segments are trying to get 362 00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.799 us to understand, or that the filmmakers trying to impress upon the audience I 363 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.000 don't know what it is. And the second one's even worse than the first 364 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.279 one. First one's just very melancholy and sacharin, but this one was just 365 00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:42.400 like, Okay, sure, whatever, whatever story you think you're telling, 366 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.960 I bet you think you told it. But this one does have an excellent 367 00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:52.759 leather shirt that he's wearing at one and that mustache can't be beat. No, 368 00:26:52.759 --> 00:27:00.480 no, which episode, which segments better? You know what? You 369 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:04.599 got me? There, you win. I'll let they both suck as that 370 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.119 they both we lose. We are the losers here by having to engage with 371 00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:14.440 this segment any longer than anyone else has to. Kearney wins again. All 372 00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:17.160 right, we're going to play a preview of the next episode and we'll be 373 00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:21.559 right back to wrap things up. HP Lovecraft, known to the affecsionados of 374 00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:27.519 the occult demonology Witchcraft as a master storyteller, is responsible for our first selection 375 00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:33.640 in this Museum of the frequently Morbid. Do you connoisseurs of the Black Arts, 376 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.680 you will probably recognize it. It's a painting that tells the story of 377 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:42.920 a young artist who recruits his models from odd places, and the models are 378 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:48.359 very odd. Indeed, the painter's name is assently is Pickman. The title 379 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:53.200 is Pickman Model who all familiar? I suppose with mediums and seances, a 380 00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:59.720 slightly curdling nocturnal event in which the dead come back to visit through the good 381 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.000 off is of a middleman or a woman. It's a sport that lends itself 382 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:10.720 to table tappings, some ghostly manifestations that float transparently across the room, and 383 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:15.480 a few distant supplical voices. This painting offers a new side of the familiar 384 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:21.720 seance because it tells what happens when a seance is successful, but the appearing 385 00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:26.599 dead isn't the one expected offer to you. Now on the Night Gallery, 386 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:32.599 the Deer Departed, and now Night Gallery is slightly distorted version of history, 387 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.079 an act of chivalry that's right on the next midnight viewing, we'll be taking 388 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.559 a look at season two, episode eleven that's broken into three segments, Pickman's 389 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:47.480 Model, the Deer Departed, and an act of Chivalry.
