| 0:00.0 | All right, when you hear that music, you know it's time for Visit God's Clubhouse, the almost quarterly show where we try to look at the light side of things. |
| 0:08.0 | And today we have what I consider a pretty special show. |
| 0:11.6 | It started with Herb Smith of the Uticans and I talking about doing something on the comics because we had done something with Mad and Cr probably over a year ago and we thought we'd like to do something with an extension of that |
| 0:26.1 | with the same stable of artists more or less for the famous magazine of comic books creepy and |
| 0:33.6 | eerie. Herb wasn't sure that we had enough stuff to go with, and I started thinking about, |

| 1:30.1 | Under her new label, she's produced the film Lifted, and she's an executive producer of Paramount's classics, Mean Creek, the Open Road, and from Prada to Nata. |
| 1:42.0 | And it goes on and on. She has been involved in TV. |
| 1:45.7 | She's been involved in theater. |
