So Ed McCarthy, B.D.K on the show on Friday.

0:05.2

And he gave his review of Horizon and American Saga,

0:08.4

which we learned was part one of four, Kevin Kostner's pet project that apparently he's been trying to get done since

0:15.7

1988 which is the year we graduated from high school. That goes back a long way. I still

0:21.1

can't believe he's using like the mortgage of one of his

0:24.7

houses is collateral to pay for it. That that seems like a wack-a-do idea.

1:28.0

It's real cinema, folks. So be prepared. We're used to that S. We're used to 90 minute movies.

1:35.0

Everything is 90 minutes. Give me a break. Get over that S. Let's watch a movie that actually tells a story where you learn about people and grow to like them or hate them.

1:43.5

It's not all fast and cut cut cut cut and he says that it's a tick-tockified audience.

1:49.6

I mean it's definitely true.

1:51.6

Maybe something you agree with that totally? I mean I don't know totally but to a large extent yeah
