Cdirus: Didn’t think one could get all hot and sweaty just picking tomatoes

Rush: And, as for being tired, our film is guaranteed to give a burst of energy!

pdclassicdvds: His name is Brett in the movie not Trent. I knew it sounded similar

Len Freeman: We’re in the balmy 70s here in MInnesota

Cdirus: That’s good cause ours at work is broken again. It was sounding like a helicopter on the roof and vibrating the whole building

Rush: Brett, alias Brott…

Atomant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ89iy3SGjk You might take alook at this upload from archive movies. The sound seems synced. Sorry if I am causing trouble

Rush: Etc…

pdclassicdvds: Yes you got it.

Rush: Noted, AA1

Cdirus: Len, your lucky. upper 80’s and very humid here. And dry, we haven’t had more than an inch of rain in the past few weeks

Rush: And…no trouble caused!

Atomant: 🙂

Matt1: Went to bed the other night and it was 89!

Len Freeman: Been a strange summer for us… very wet, so farmers having trouble with crops, but also mild.

Len Freeman: WE’ve actually had to turn off the AC

Atomant: Wow

Cdirus: Our farmers couldn’t plant in the spring casuse it was too wet, then they got the crops in and it dried up in our area

Rush: Yes, Len?

Rush: When people watched test patterns for fun!

Atomant: Is that MR. Pendleton ?

Len Freeman: VERY stiff….\

Rush: Horace Karlos.

Louise: Yes Rush, the early TV stuff is interesting

Atomant: From CC murder cruise?

Rush: (Clunk!)

Nothere: You got to wonder about that show. A 40’s program where the Mad Monster is the star? Who does he think he is Fu Manchu?

Matt1: Shoe print in only one spot?

Louise: Notice the ashtrays everywhere

Rush: Or, maybe the slightly “miffed” monster?

Nothere: Only so much blood to come off Matt.

Rush: Teletype…

Nothere: Tonight at ten The Miffed Monster. Yeah that works.

MIke in DC: “could not stand solitary confinement

Rush: Yes, Mike!

Nothere: So he still over at…Nah he moved from there after that…They ever find her, I’d want to know what happened to her…Oh they found that and gave it to.

Rush: “Glope”

Rush: She might have made a great Wicked Witch of the West in “The Wizard of Oz.”

Len Freeman: Ahhhh,… The Shadow knows……

Atomant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIIwxo2eIdU Ran across this the other night..BB and Nipsy doing a similar routine.

pdclassicdvds: It was the MAD MONSTER

Rush: That must have been Horace Karlos wearing the mask…

Louise: Second time BB mentions zombies in these movies

pdclassicdvds: I love that hat. LOL

Rush: Yes…some hat!

pdclassicdvds: Who the hell has private matches???

MIke in DC: Private matches?

Rush: Actually, a return to hats might be a very practical idea, to lessen UV contact.

MIke in DC: I use them to light my private candles

Rush: Teletype…

pdclassicdvds: That funny MIke.

Louise: DING! Your answer is ready.

MIke in DC: I.D.I.O.T.
