All right, well, we already gave our official movie review on Iron Man, but this time we're going to talk to a long-time CGS listener Tom Martinick, who actually works for ILM and did some of the special effects on Iron Man. Welcome to the show, Tom.

Thank you, guys. It's always a pleasure to speak with you. Yeah, back once again. Especially now that I can actually, you know, put a whole face to the name and everything, having met you out in San Francisco, which was awesome.

Yeah, that was great. I hope you had a good time. Are you kidding me? It was like a longtime dream come true. Oh, good. Yeah, it was good. I was glad you came out. I was excited about that. I thought that that'd be fun to show you around.

And I was glad I was able to show you some of the stuff that I snuck in there.

Yeah, it was just a blast. What a beautiful campus and everything. That's kind of nice. Even though your drive sucks, it's pretty nice when you get there. Yeah, well, that's what you guys are for, my drive. Yeah, that's true. If we... If we out this hour-long episodes, and they're just long enough. That's right. If we ever stop, then there'll be no more ILM movies, because Tom will just have to quit, and everything will be ruined, and we'll just do ourselves a big disservice. Right, you're only hoping yourselves. So we have to do this forever? The circle of life.

Man.

So, Tom, removing yourself from the creative process for a minute, what did you think of the movie?

I really liked it.

I thought it was very well done.

It's a bit different from the original script i read which i read it
