He's a famous song for this show. It doesn't count if you know. Well, well, yeah, we're going to start with people we know. But we put we put it out there and people who've been generous and been setting them in. So at the end of this show will set it up. Let's start with your movie. Okay. This is a movie I hadn't heard about before. I just saw a recent. I'm intrigued. And I wasn't familiar with it.

And I was just watching it to movie you know. And it the movie is the little fugitive. Oh. Yes. Or a little fugitive. I don't know if it's got the die. Yes. I saw a recent little fugitive. The little fugitive. Yeah. And it's it's a film where it's it's I don't want to give too much away. But a boy who believe a little boy. Most of it's not at.

2:39.0

I think they're all. Oh, none act. Right. And the plot basically is a little boy who believes he's killed his brother. Correct. And he has to escape from the police. And he escapes as far as Tony Isle. Doesn't it because the brother is playing the prank on. Yeah. Yeah. And he what the funny thing about this.

3:07.0

It's available on Amazon Prime. Great. Good to know. The funny thing about it is that most of the movie takes place in Coney Island. Now I was born in Coney Island. I never knew that. Yeah. I knew you were born in Brooklyn. But you never told me where. Yeah. Well, I don't like to talk to you. Okay. Yeah. I can't stay when you talk. We're in this.

3:37.0

I can't wrap this up. Yeah. So talking to you off there. I realize it. So you're like, I'll be singer. Yes. Born in the under the under the roller coaster. And and so I was born in Coney Island. And I lived like above my father's hardware store. That I do. Yeah. From your book. Yeah. Yeah. My book.

4:05.0

I remember balls in like how many copies of that bookshelf. By the way, well, I think it's there is the second customer. The center is set in printing. What was it?

4:48.0

The most of it is the kid on the beach in Coney Island, like going on the rides, riding the horses and going around on the beach. And it sounds like if you were to tell me that, that most of it's a kid on the beach. I would say, not in the biggie. And black and white. Yes. And when I was watching the film, I remember thinking I said, this film looks like a foreign film.

5:18.0

It's an American film, but it looks like a foreign film. And what's interesting is France watch your fault. Correct. It was a big fan. Yeah. And as were other members of the French New Wave, very interesting. Yeah. And they said, they, they believe little fugitives started the French new way. Fascinating. A film made by a Jewish couple living on the upper west side of the West. Yes. Yes. Right. Right. And I think the photographer.

5:48.0

In the movie is played by Will Lee. And he was, if I got it right, was a Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street. Wow. Wow. And the reason Mr. Hooper is so important to me on Sesame Street. Yes.

6:11.0

Well, that goes, I can only wait. There was one episode of Sesame Street that's a Christmas episode. And Mr. Hooper says to someone, oh, Merry Christmas. And they say, and happy Hanukkah, Mr. Hooper. So meaning Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street. What's in June? This is a scoop. Yes. Now I believe a little fugitive. Well, I should say that I, I'm not sure if I'm going to say it.

6:51.0

Oh, yeah. Okay. From Caroline's County Club. And his mother was Ruth Orkin, a very famous photographer, a very, very famous black and white photographer. Look up her work. You'll recognize it. She's a very, very famous, a very famous photograph taken. I guess in Rome of a woman walking down the street and some, and some Italian men.

7:10.0

I'm calling her. I can't remember the name of the photograph. It has a name, but it's very iconic photo as many of her photos were. And they were friends with Stanley Kubrick, who was a photographer for Life Magazine. Wow. At the time. Yeah. Yeah. And he worked. I'm fludging this, but, but more is worked with Kubrick. I'm not sure if he, if he shot for them, but that's that they started in filmmaking together.

7:39.0

Yeah. A little fugitive, which was made on a shoestring. I think I hope I have this right shot in 16 millimeter. Yeah. It was shot with a whole movie. Yeah. Maybe with a bolux. And it was like the sound and voices were dubbed in. Right. Right. It was made for it was made on a shoestring. And by, by Morris Angle and Ruth Orkin. And it influenced everybody from Truffaut to Mark Scorsese.

8:08.0

Mark Scorsese, who I saw talk about it. I saw more in Scorsese, introducing a couple of years ago. I think it was at the new school or the Y. And then I saw it again recently and it really holds up. But for you, it's, it's all movies.
