The Incomparable, number 741, November 2024.

Hello everyone and welcome back to The Incomparable. I'm your host, Anthony Johnston,

and we are here to witness the most terrifying natural event in the cosmos, which turns out to be a solar eclipse that lasts for weeks.

Yes, we are going to talk about pitch black, a sci-fi horror movie from the year 2000,

directed and co-written by David Tuey, and probably best remembered for launching Vin Diesel

as an action star a year before the first Fast and Furious movie.

Joining me to fumble around in the dark on a strange planet today are Erica Ensign.

Hello, Erica.

I would like to start my bit of the podcast recording with a voiceover, as all great movies do.

I think all podcasts technically start with a voiceover, doesn't it?

You're right.

And continue with one.

Tony Sindelar, hello, Tony.

Hi, Tony P. Sindelar, antiquity dealer, entrepreneur.

Do you have any good whiskey in there?

And Todd Vaziri.

Hello, Todd.

Hi, how's it going?

Very happy to be here to talk about one of my favorite

movie. Yeah, it's going pretty well, although apparently there's an eclipse coming, and I think

things might take a turn downhill at that point. So, as I mentioned, yeah, it is directed and

co-written by David Tuwee, who has had a really, really rollercoaster career.
