0:17.0

Gilbert Pod Freed, P-O-D-F-R-I-E-D. You see, it's kind of a pun on the last name. I never mind.

0:48.0

Hi, this is Gilbert God Freed and I'm going to try to get the title right this time.

0:59.0

Oh, why be different this time? Yeah, why break from tradition? I'm here with my co-host Frank Santopadre and this is Gilbert and Frank's amazing colossal obsession.

1:16.0

It is. And I should tell the audience it'll be in a future date, but we interviewed the fine comedian and actress Charlotte Ray and I called her Caroline Ray.

1:31.0

So I can't even get the guest names. Remember the time we were doing Greg Evigan and I slipped up. Yes, yes.

1:40.0

During an interview with Greg Evigan, I started to open my mouth and just like in school, Frank slipped me a little piece of paper that said Greg.

2:54.0

Oh, yes, I recommended that one. This is a very offbeat movie from the 60s.

3:58.0

But it's not a good body, but the

4:01.0

No, they didn't have the money for citrus fruits alone. It would have, it would have tripled.

What the hell? The produce budget was, but it's an odd ball, little film. I don't know where to begin to try to describe it.

4:21.0
