0:00.0	So anyway, let's, let's get into it.
0:14.4	We got a good-ass movie to talk about today, I think a very potent object to discuss.
0:20.1	We just had an election here in Canada. You've got a book
0:23.8	coming out. That's right. We had a little conclave of our own, and we may be seeing some similar
0:29.0	turf wars here in Canada, don't you think? Hell yeah. And you've got a book coming out, which I know
0:34.4	we've mentioned already, but along with my substack, which
0:38.4	many of you have subscribed to already, all of the most elite content creators, which, you know,
0:43.9	I like to think of ourselves that way. That's what, you know, I go around when people ask me,

1:13.7	And pre-order Will's book, if you haven't done so already.
1:16.7	It's going to be great.
1:17.6	I had a chance to look at some of the early drafts, and I've, you know, been talking to
1:22.4	Will about Ed Wood for over a decade now. So, in fact, technically speaking, given that we probably had our
1:29.4	first conversation about Ed Wood, circa 2009, our dialogue about Ed Wood has technically
1:35.8	span three decades. So, you know, there we go. We're like Plato and Socrates when it comes to
1:41.1	Ed Wood. Well, first of all, welcome to Michael and us. I'm Will Sloan and you're Luke Savage.
