Hello, this is Justin the Clue, and I've put together here a little preview of the Patreon

episodes that we did this month, like the one we did on Sasha Baron Cohen and his feature

film debut, Allie G. In the House. This movie is really filthy, but like filthy in like...

People are like, it's so raw, I gotta check it out. No, it's filthy in like a really eighth grade sort of way.

Oh, you mean like Alligy trips and pulls down the queen's pants?

Yeah, there's that.

And we discussed the career of William Bowdeen, the director of Bella Legosi meets a Brooklyn

gorilla, who also worked with Mary Pickford and had one of the most fascinating early Hollywood careers.

He worked at the beginning right on the side of W.D. Griffith. And he worked with all the greats.

Like, if you look at his filmography, you will be bold over by how many people that he worked with.

Oh, yeah. And you probably haven't heard of any of these pictures because they're at the

bottom of the best of list. But when he died, he was the longest active industry professional

in Hollywood, longer than John Ford was at that time. We also did an episode on our sick

obsession with hunting down used books about movies. I've run into you and used bookstores

multiple times, which just shows how often me and you go. Because, you know, you start to get

this sickness if you go to used bookstores a lot where you think, what if I miss something?

Yeah, I've gone. I've gone into bookstores and seen something and gone, ah, you know, I can't get it now, but I'll get it next time I come over, and then I'll go two days later, and it's gone. I'll come... I'll go two hours later and it's gone. Really? Yeah, because, you know, you start to realize there are certain things that are, you know, very highly in demand in the

marketplace. Like, what do you think of the, like, top tier books or movies? Oh, God. Well,

and finally, we tackled theuteur theory, what it means, how we interpret it, and how it affects

the way that we watch movies. Number one, which I don't agree with, is technical competence. I don't agree with that either. Yeah. Because that has nothing to do with a no-tur making a movie. Exactly. There's a quote of his in the essay where he says, a great director has to be at least a good director. Nope. What does that mean? Yeah, what is a good director? Like, I guess Edwood's not a no tour then. Well,, what about Oscar Michelle? Yeah, exactly. I mean, there are many filmmakers. What about, I don't know, Melvin Van Peebles? It's the idea that, like, a film has to fit within this box of what we consider a film to be able to be considered as art, which is insane. What about Andy Warhol? Yeah, like none of that works. Yeah. You can get these four episodes for only $5 a month, and you'll also get our 75-plus episode

back catalog and the other four episodes that we're going to record next months.

We really appreciate anybody that is a Patreon subscriber because we couldn't continue to do this show without you.
