This is serious XM progress. I'm John Fugelsang. Welcome to it.

Bringing Good Trouble to the Right Wing bubble.

Produced by the great Chris Houselt in the South Carolina studio,

produced by the great Thea Harper in the Brooklyn studio.

I am here with Russ in the

Hollywood Studios. It's very nice to be back. And for the next three hours we're

going to come at you with empathy, with facts, with history, with comedy, with

music, and we will bring you to the brink of entertainment.

This is normally the part where I launch into a long extended monologue about something

and I get your blood boiling about whatever Comover Caligula tried to do

what type of malfeasance and rank fuckery and

double-talk and jive has been perpetrated on you today, and we'll get to plenty of that, but we have

a very special guest and we're going to begin that we never begin the show with the

guest but when I came out here to do the show for a month in LA I was like I want

to get actors to talk about the strike so people can understand and I thought well

what actors do I want I mean we've had Fran Dresher I thought there's one guy I want and it is a great

pleasure to welcome back to our show a wonderful classically trained actor who has appeared in so many

great plays so many great films so many great plays, so many great films, so many great TV shows.

You love this man's work, your parents loved his work, your children love his work.

My God, from Jean-Jacquesneau's Quest for Fire, which is the only movie I talked to this man about,

Jean-Pierre Jeunet's City of Lost Children, my wife's favorite movie, and of course alien resurrection.
