0:00.0	Hello and welcome once again to the cine files. My name is Steve Morris. I'm a filmmaker and directing
0:04.5	instructor in Los Angeles, California. Hello, my name is John Rook. I'm a writer, producer and host
0:08.9	here in Los Angeles and the owner and CEO of the Outlaw Nation channel. How are you all? Are they
0:15.2	going to answer? It's a rhetorical question. I know you've sometimes listened to the Mark Maren
0:23.1	podcast. If you notice lately, he's been doing these like questioning monologues with people as
0:29.6	his openings like, how are you doing? What happened with the thing? Did that doctor's appointment
0:33.3	worked out? Okay. I thought you were going to go into one of those. Oh, no, no, I should have
0:39.6	you. That's a good point. I should have. Today, we are honoring the memory of George Siegel, who passed

0:52.6	who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? Here's my question for you, John. We always ask how you came to a film.

1:35.5	seen him in. And it wasn't until I got older that I discovered like fun with Dick and Jane,
1:39.8	the doctors and the dirtwater fox and all this stuff from the 70s that really made his bones in
1:45.1	the comedy world. It's so funny for for me, you just mentioned the movie that I first discovered
1:51.7	him with. And it is such a clear memory because I know it's come I mentioned a few times on the show
1:57.0	when I was nine years old. We took this trip to Alaska with my family. That was like the great
2:01.3	trip of my childhood. And part of that trip was being on a cruise ship. I was first time I was
