I'm not going to listen to this.

Ray, you're chanting.

I'm not going to hear this now. The Pink Smoke presents the Pure Cinema podcast. Ready to get bonkers?

I am ready. I am ready to get bonkers.

All right. So that is my co-host, Brian Sauer. Hello, Rupert Pumpkin Something.

Yes.

And we are today going to be joined on this very fun topic by somebody we've talked about a bunch on the show, much to his chagrin, discussing him behind his back on air.

But Phil Blankenship, welcome, Phil.

Welcome.

Thank you for inviting me.

I am here to set the record straight.

And you can set the record straight.

I mean, when I got to L.A., I knew you as somebody who was programming heavy midnights at the silent movie theater, the formerly Cineafamily Future Unknown.

And then you became... I was married, by the way. I don't know if I mentioned them. Oh, you were, yeah, you were

mentioned. Yeah, you did mention. And then I know you, and then you're doing all the social media

at the new Beverly and some programming, but I don't really know how that worked. Yeah, my fancy

business cards is social media slash programming. Okay, so it's still true.

It's still true.

And I don't know how you got into, like I don't know what you did before you,

like how you got into doing your screenings at the Cine Family.

Was there a step before all that in terms of screen?

Wasn't you at the new Bev before that?
