00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:11.609
Good morning, everybody. Matt Major, Growth Mode

00:00:11.609 --> 00:00:15.050
Content. Welcome to Good News York. This is an

00:00:15.050 --> 00:00:18.010
action -packed morning already, and I'm only

00:00:18.010 --> 00:00:21.309
a cup and a half of coffee in, so forgive me.

00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:25.329
But if there was ever a way to be energized...

00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.579
We got yesterday's birthday boy back. Happy birthday.

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.780
We wished you a happy birthday on the show yesterday.

00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:35.840
I took the day off. I was plain hooky. I was

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.859
sick. I'm still not feeling well, but yes. I

00:00:38.859 --> 00:00:40.600
was sad that I didn't get to share my birthday

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.200
with you guys. It's all right, buddy. My brothers

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.799
and sisters. It's all right. But I'm here now.

00:00:46.939 --> 00:00:51.380
Birthday day dos. Dos. We're surrounded by the

00:00:51.380 --> 00:00:54.840
queens. Oh, baby. I am so... This is long overdue.

00:00:55.060 --> 00:00:56.579
It is. You and I talked about this like the first

00:00:56.579 --> 00:00:58.619
week we opened. It is, it is. Having these two.

00:00:58.619 --> 00:01:01.679
These are our good friends Stacy and Jenna, the

00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.319
cosmetic queens. You might know them from their

00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.480
podcast, Stab and Jab. It is the most festive

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.260
podcast that we record. I'm not gonna lie. But

00:01:12.260 --> 00:01:14.760
we wanted to bring these ladies in and and talk

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:16.540
a little bit on good news York about their business

00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:18.620
Because not only do they do incredible things

00:01:18.620 --> 00:01:21.280
in their business. It's growing. It's expanding

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.159
You're doing some other things in the community.

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.640
It's like we did your everything we want to talk

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.219
about here. Yeah, so We had to have you in welcome

00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:31.859
ladies. Yeah, welcome. Thank you Thank you. This

00:01:31.859 --> 00:01:34.379
is probably gonna be a three -hour episode because

00:01:34.379 --> 00:01:38.340
Stacey and I are here That corner is trouble

00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:43.319
or a lower case? That's definitely capital. Seriously.

00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:46.659
So with that, why don't we let Jenna start? Yeah,

00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:49.120
yeah. We'll put you right on the spot. Come on.

00:01:49.459 --> 00:01:51.159
Initiate SWAP. Really love to be put in the spot.

00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.079
I know you do. I know you do. But you know what

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.359
you're great at talking about is what you do.

00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.000
So if you could, just give us the quick overview.

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.019
What is your business? What do you ladies do

00:02:01.019 --> 00:02:05.859
all day long? Sure. So we focus on cosmetic injectables

00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:11.340
and cosmetic dermatology. We have all sorts of

00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:16.620
gadgets, not just injectables. So we have lasers,

00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.060
and we have, I don't know. We have gadgets. We've

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:23.080
got Tri -Lift, I mean, there's so many different

00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.620
things. We've got the things for the... Our new

00:02:24.620 --> 00:02:28.780
Pladuo. Oh yeah, you got a new machine. A what

00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:31.699
now? Oh yeah, we'll talk about this. I mean,

00:02:31.699 --> 00:02:35.479
basically we like to think of the whole picture.

00:02:36.099 --> 00:02:39.669
The skin, the muscle. the internal structures,

00:02:39.930 --> 00:02:43.389
we're not just focusing on one area. We want

00:02:43.389 --> 00:02:45.969
to focus on the big picture for anti -aging.

00:02:46.189 --> 00:02:49.330
Are you considered estheticians? Is that the

00:02:49.330 --> 00:02:52.389
correct no? No, we love our estheticians. We

00:02:52.389 --> 00:02:55.629
love them so much and we partner. We are good

00:02:55.629 --> 00:03:01.340
collaborators with our esty besties. They're

00:03:01.340 --> 00:03:04.939
more going to focus on taking off the vellus

00:03:04.939 --> 00:03:07.439
hair of your face, which would be known as dermaplaning.

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.379
They're going to focus on hydration, skincare

00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:14.139
lines. They go in conjunction with us, but top

00:03:14.139 --> 00:03:16.659
layer, some of them, if they have medical directors,

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.960
can break the skin and do some microneedling,

00:03:19.020 --> 00:03:21.479
which increases collagen in the face, which we

00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.460
lose, and that's what makes us start to melt,

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.780
like the Wicked Witch. We're doing more of the

00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:32.840
medical side. So Jenna's a nurse practitioner.

00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.159
I'm a physician assistant. We've been doing this

00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.419
a very long time now. And we're going to do things

00:03:38.419 --> 00:03:43.819
that decrease the collagen decline in the skin,

00:03:44.020 --> 00:03:46.400
like she was saying, restore facial structures.

00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.500
Anything that you can do to make you look younger

00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:52.759
without a surgical intervention. Very nice. Love

00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.870
that. Wow. Yeah, I could uh, I mean Matt and

00:03:56.870 --> 00:03:59.610
I we get torn apart on social media for our eye

00:03:59.610 --> 00:04:02.409
bags. So yeah, we're gonna some perf some prf

00:04:02.409 --> 00:04:06.090
Like I know I have them but the and I sound like

00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:09.000

so and it was your birthday yesterday Yeah, but

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.980
it's not my birthday ladies are so encouraging.

00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:24.899
Let's give ourselves grace. Thank you. Thank

00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:26.639
you I've just accepted that I don't sleep and

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.360
this is what I look like for years Nothing to

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.779
do with the lights. I'm sorry your natural self

00:04:31.779 --> 00:04:34.860
one one thing that I think is I mean you and

00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:37.439
I know each other from from college, but at the

00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:42.750
same time On the outside, you guys, it's just,

00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:45.110
you are a little bit different than I would say

00:04:45.110 --> 00:04:49.350
a traditional doctor's office. You see your social

00:04:49.350 --> 00:04:51.670
media videos, you talk to you guys, you have

00:04:51.670 --> 00:04:54.350
bubbly personalities, you're always decked out

00:04:54.350 --> 00:04:56.949
in pink. Tell us about the office, the vibe of

00:04:56.949 --> 00:04:58.889
the office, because it is, it's so inviting.

00:04:59.350 --> 00:05:01.670
Go for it, Jenna. I know you love this. I love

00:05:01.670 --> 00:05:05.329
our office. I feel like it's so welcoming. we

00:05:05.329 --> 00:05:07.129
have a waiting room which we call the living

00:05:07.129 --> 00:05:10.430
room and people who don't know each other sit

00:05:10.430 --> 00:05:13.129
in there and they converse and they laugh and

00:05:13.129 --> 00:05:16.069
it's like the best sound I feel like like when

00:05:16.069 --> 00:05:18.430
we're back in our bedrooms even though there

00:05:18.430 --> 00:05:21.129
are our rooms that we treat our patients we call

00:05:21.129 --> 00:05:23.790
them bedrooms right and it's kind of just like

00:05:23.790 --> 00:05:26.769
a big party the entire time people have literally

00:05:26.769 --> 00:05:28.870
come to the office and been like I've seen you

00:05:28.870 --> 00:05:32.319
on social media I feel like I know you guys I

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.639
am just basically here to test the waters and

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.379
see if you guys really are legitimately as cool

00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:40.839
as you are on social media. And we're like, OK,

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:41.920
did we test the test? It's a lot of pressure.

00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:44.879
Yeah. And they're like, yeah. This is our authentic

00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.800
self. Yeah. We can't fake this. We're weird.

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.089
We're fun. We're nerds. We're cool. I mean, yeah.

00:05:54.310 --> 00:05:56.050
And we treat everyone like family. And I think

00:05:56.050 --> 00:05:57.949
that's what sets us apart. We've been told a

00:05:57.949 --> 00:05:59.970
million different times, don't have a business

00:05:59.970 --> 00:06:02.589
model like that. It gets too messy. It gets too

00:06:02.589 --> 00:06:07.930
weird. Stop giving away treatments and money

00:06:07.930 --> 00:06:10.990
and things to people. We actually have something

00:06:10.990 --> 00:06:14.550
called the sparkle box. So if someone comes in,

00:06:14.550 --> 00:06:16.269
they're having a bad day. They're down on their

00:06:16.269 --> 00:06:19.189
luck. They tell us a story. I feel like our chair.

00:06:19.470 --> 00:06:21.990
is a therapy chair. We are not therapists. As

00:06:21.990 --> 00:06:24.829
soon as they get in the chair, it's like it all

00:06:24.829 --> 00:06:26.250
unleashes. And I don't know if it's because we're

00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:28.870
like stabbing, jabbing, burning. Sure, they're

00:06:28.870 --> 00:06:31.129
already on an edge. But it's like a physical

00:06:31.129 --> 00:06:33.790
release for them. Yeah. And then all of a sudden

00:06:33.790 --> 00:06:36.269
we're like, how are you doing? And they're like,

00:06:36.769 --> 00:06:40.720
what? And it just all falls apart. Then we're

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.720
able to like make a connection with them and

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.480
I feel like that connection sets us apart from

00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.519
everyone else I think it's because what you guys

00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:52.319
do is a very Personal and intimate procedure

00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.959
so they have to feel comfortable with you and

00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.860
I think because of your personalities and your

00:06:56.860 --> 00:07:00.600
social media president presidents present presence

00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.519
I think I think that's just inviting for them

00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.060
and they feel comfortable in in unloading on

00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:11.279
you. You get that with bartenders and hairdressers

00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.199
too. But I think it's next level for you guys

00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.120
because of how approachable you are. It's amazing.

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.720
Well, and we truly do care. So then we remember

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.199
the things, we know the things, we try to help

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:28.160
where we can. We have a new foundation that we're

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.699
starting. A what now? Um, called the CQ care.

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.720
So it started out as this sparkle box where we

00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.740
would just kind of ask the reps when we'd place

00:07:38.740 --> 00:07:42.160
a big order, can we get a little bit of free

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.000
samples so that when people come in and we had

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.199
a few patients, right? Like congenital birth

00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.420
defects. One girl had told us, you know, I'm

00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:53.259
not leaving my house. It's actually affecting

00:07:53.259 --> 00:07:56.680
my relationships. Um, and I said, you know, to

00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:58.879
one of the docs, like, I want to treat this girl.

00:07:59.470 --> 00:08:02.009
you know, no charge. I'm going to donate my time.

00:08:02.089 --> 00:08:04.350
I got the product. And they were like, no, those

00:08:04.350 --> 00:08:06.449
are the people that would pay even more money.

00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:09.810
And I'm like, that is not how we roll. Yeah.

00:08:10.350 --> 00:08:14.110
So we started this thing on our own where we

00:08:14.110 --> 00:08:16.410
kind of have this sparkle box. And we would ask

00:08:16.410 --> 00:08:18.490
each other once in a while, like, would it be

00:08:18.490 --> 00:08:21.009
OK if I sparkle box this patient? And now we

00:08:21.009 --> 00:08:23.269
don't even ask anymore because we just know both

00:08:23.269 --> 00:08:26.500
of us are just so in sync with Yes, if we can

00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:29.240
do something to give back to these people, we're

00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.620
doing it. So we don't even ask each other anymore.

00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.919
But you can dip into the sparkle box for someone

00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.580
who's going through a divorce, someone who lost

00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:39.960
a child, somebody who is just down on their luck

00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.799
and lost their job, whatever. So we were like,

00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:45.419
wouldn't this be so cool if we could make it

00:08:45.419 --> 00:08:49.049
on a bigger scale? So. You know the idea, like

00:08:49.049 --> 00:08:51.210
when you go to a restaurant and you're like,

00:08:51.309 --> 00:08:53.110
I'm going to pay for their meal. Yeah, yeah.

00:08:53.210 --> 00:08:56.049
But I don't want them to know. And I just want

00:08:56.049 --> 00:08:57.610
to pay it forward. Don't tell them till after

00:08:57.610 --> 00:08:59.750
I leave. So like, I love that kind of stuff.

00:08:59.909 --> 00:09:02.730
Been doing it for a long time now that I actually

00:09:02.730 --> 00:09:07.409
have some money to do that. Yeah. And it gives

00:09:07.409 --> 00:09:10.190
me such a good feeling selfishly. But I also

00:09:10.190 --> 00:09:12.929
have had the opportunity to see the joy it brings,

00:09:13.009 --> 00:09:15.700
right? So. Now, working in aesthetics, we were

00:09:15.700 --> 00:09:18.039
always worried, is this going to be kind of vain?

00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.340
Does this really make a difference? I think that

00:09:21.340 --> 00:09:23.620
this time in our life, working in aesthetic medicine

00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:25.580
has made the biggest difference and the biggest

00:09:25.580 --> 00:09:28.539
impact because when people are going through

00:09:28.539 --> 00:09:32.799
traumatic events, they are emotionally drained.

00:09:32.940 --> 00:09:37.360
But you see that on a physical level. You see

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.480
them come in tired, upset. drained, they've had

00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.860
no time for self care. So we've decided to do

00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:47.519
three kind of branches. The first branch will

00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.240
be you can actually sponsor a patient. And it

00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.100
can be a cancer patient or somebody going through

00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:56.639
something crazy. We have a new machine that actually

00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.000
regrows hair. We've actually had the opportunity

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.299
to do this for a couple of our patients. And

00:10:01.299 --> 00:10:03.659
it's been really a game changer because you're

00:10:03.659 --> 00:10:06.100
already going through something so deep and traumatic.

00:10:06.669 --> 00:10:09.509
And their hair is part of their identity. Absolutely.

00:10:09.570 --> 00:10:13.629
And so for us to be able to expedite that process

00:10:13.629 --> 00:10:15.690
of that coming back or give them a little bit

00:10:15.690 --> 00:10:20.289
of a attagirl, attaboy, that's been huge. So

00:10:20.289 --> 00:10:22.250
that'll be the first one. You can sponsor a patient.

00:10:22.370 --> 00:10:25.269
So you can make an anonymous donation. We're

00:10:25.269 --> 00:10:27.509
going to have programs where you can round up

00:10:27.509 --> 00:10:30.210
just like Taco Bells. You want to round up? I'm

00:10:30.210 --> 00:10:32.330
like, no. You make enough money. I'm going to

00:10:32.330 --> 00:10:34.029
spend my money with someone else. You donate

00:10:34.029 --> 00:10:36.590
the money. But you could round up, you know,

00:10:36.690 --> 00:10:41.450
your pill. And Jenna, what's this called? CQ

00:10:41.450 --> 00:10:43.669
Cares. Oh, that's great. That's a great name.

00:10:43.929 --> 00:10:46.830
CQC, baby. CQC. And then the second branch is

00:10:46.830 --> 00:10:49.029
going to kind of be anything that's of no fault

00:10:49.029 --> 00:10:52.509
to their own. Right. So car accidents, domestic

00:10:52.509 --> 00:10:56.990
violence, cancer, scars, car accident, car accident.

00:10:59.850 --> 00:11:03.730
Anything that is a congenital birth defect, anything

00:11:03.730 --> 00:11:07.039
that you know, has left a lasting impression

00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.799
on the face that people feel insecure about that

00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.340
we can help fix. We have lasers, we have injectables,

00:11:13.659 --> 00:11:16.379
we have all of these cool things that we've learned

00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:18.659
from people in our journeys that have been willing

00:11:18.659 --> 00:11:20.399
to like kind of take us under their wing and

00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.889
teach us. we're going to be able to just take

00:11:23.889 --> 00:11:26.149
that product and treat them, and then at the

00:11:26.149 --> 00:11:29.250
end say, this is on us. We've had patients who

00:11:29.250 --> 00:11:31.509
have had radiation to the neck that we're unable

00:11:31.509 --> 00:11:35.230
to swallow, and then we've been able to use certain

00:11:35.230 --> 00:11:37.070
modalities at the office, and then they're like,

00:11:37.250 --> 00:11:39.960
I ate a mushroom, and we're like, go! I think

00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.440
we cried for 30 straight minutes after hearing

00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.120
that. We're like, we're doing it. Yeah. That's

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.519
amazing. And then the third part is those patients

00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:51.159
who just are having a rough time and haven't

00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:55.679
had the self care. And so we'll be able to have

00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.720
some of the reps give back a little bit for the

00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:01.879
larger orders that we're placing. We'll have

00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.139
people be able to donate. And then sometimes

00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:08.299
we could just grab a thing. And then the next

00:12:08.299 --> 00:12:10.220
thing we were actually thinking of doing is going

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:15.519
to local community businesses. There's always

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:19.179
those workhorses in any business that give, give,

00:12:19.259 --> 00:12:21.580
give, give, give, give, give, give, give and

00:12:21.580 --> 00:12:26.600
never take, ask, get anything in return. Right.

00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.600
So I know you and I are very good friends with

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.799
Kate. from David's Refuge. Oh, I love Kate. So

00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.039
she was our first one to kind of be a guinea

00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.019
pig in this because we had talked to everyone

00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:39.320
and we're like, shout her out. We love her. Love

00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.519
you so much. And there's just, there's so many

00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.259
good people like that in our community that go

00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:47.200
unnoticed. They fly under the radar. Kate would

00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.519
never say anything. And we're like, why don't

00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.580
you just come in and get like a self care? Like

00:12:52.580 --> 00:12:54.580
she doesn't, she doesn't meet those criteria

00:12:54.580 --> 00:12:58.059
of having cancer or having, you know, she's beautiful,

00:12:58.059 --> 00:13:00.190
but we're like, when's the last time you've done

00:13:00.190 --> 00:13:02.389
something for yourself? Because she's like, go

00:13:02.389 --> 00:13:05.110
to mom, go to business owner, go to wife, go

00:13:05.110 --> 00:13:08.889
to friend. I'm like, let's treat those people.

00:13:08.990 --> 00:13:11.690
So once a quarter, we'd also like to incorporate,

00:13:12.029 --> 00:13:15.370
you can nominate somebody from a local business

00:13:15.370 --> 00:13:19.049
that we could give back to and kind of just treat

00:13:19.049 --> 00:13:22.009
them a house. That's awesome. CQ cares. CQ cares.

00:13:22.149 --> 00:13:26.929
That's amazing. I love that. It's uplifting.

00:13:28.710 --> 00:13:33.370
Man. I have so many questions. Go ahead. No,

00:13:33.789 --> 00:13:36.110
so I was just going to say, while we're on this

00:13:36.110 --> 00:13:39.809
great new things kick that we've been talking

00:13:39.809 --> 00:13:41.450
about, I understand you're also going to have

00:13:41.450 --> 00:13:44.789
a new location here in the city we might be able

00:13:44.789 --> 00:13:49.049
to talk about? We cannot wait. I mean, if one

00:13:49.049 --> 00:13:50.909
more person asks us, when's it going to be? We're

00:13:50.909 --> 00:13:55.490
like, I don't know, because construction is a

00:13:55.490 --> 00:13:58.480
pain right in my. So you got to build out. Your

00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.539
space and everything, huh? OK, so we have this

00:14:00.539 --> 00:14:03.220
angel. Her name is Claudia. She owns Inspire

00:14:03.220 --> 00:14:05.519
at the Grainery, which is just this beautiful

00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.899
salon. It had some residential space that was

00:14:08.899 --> 00:14:13.340
upstairs. And we kind of got talking to her.

00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:15.860
We have some mutual friends. And she was like,

00:14:15.860 --> 00:14:18.480
what if the queens went upstairs? We looked at

00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.440
the space. It has balconies. We're like, this

00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.860
is meant to be. Hello, sir. Hello. That's awesome.

00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:29.980
Stab you in the face. And I don't know, it's

00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:33.019
just construction is a pain in the ass. Getting

00:14:33.019 --> 00:14:35.879
all the permits. You gotta get the permits, but

00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.179
then the construction people that were contracted

00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:40.840
have moved on to other jobs because it took so

00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.240
long. And then you run into something, and then

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:46.419
you have to fix something else. So Claudia's

00:14:46.419 --> 00:14:51.240
really been great, and we have been waiting patiently.

00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.340
I'm a little impatient, to be honest with you,

00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:58.210
but we've been waiting. to move into this new

00:14:58.210 --> 00:15:00.710
space. And I think the light is finally at the

00:15:00.710 --> 00:15:03.129
end of the tunnel. We can see it. Awesome. There's

00:15:03.129 --> 00:15:04.889
parking on both sides of the building, which

00:15:04.889 --> 00:15:08.309
is huge. Because I mean, it's downtown Syracuse.

00:15:08.590 --> 00:15:11.070
When you were going to look at it, I'm like,

00:15:11.350 --> 00:15:13.970
parking is going to suck. But two parking lots,

00:15:14.110 --> 00:15:16.210
free parking. You don't have to worry about finding

00:15:16.210 --> 00:15:19.169
parking because they're huge. And then we'll

00:15:19.169 --> 00:15:22.470
just be on the... The girls downstairs are fantastic.

00:15:22.750 --> 00:15:25.049
Whereabouts is it downtown? It's right on North

00:15:25.049 --> 00:15:27.269
Warren Street. So if you're familiar with Clinton

00:15:27.269 --> 00:15:31.389
Square, we're about a block over. OK. It's called

00:15:31.389 --> 00:15:34.230
Inspire at the Greenery. Jackie Colello has just

00:15:34.230 --> 00:15:38.009
done beautiful murals on both sides. OK. I know

00:15:38.009 --> 00:15:39.970
a building you're talking about now. It's amazing.

00:15:40.690 --> 00:15:43.470
It's a great location, great parking, great people.

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:47.220
You know, the girls downstairs do all of like

00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:50.600
the aesthetic kind of hair stuff. And then we've

00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.299
got girls that do lashes, nails, and some of

00:15:54.299 --> 00:15:56.820
the esthetician work. And then we'll have some

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:59.519
space in the two upstairs floors. Just come in

00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.379
and get it all done. Yeah. Yeah. So Matt and

00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:06.740
I were growth mode. We shot the retro game con

00:16:06.740 --> 00:16:09.379
this past weekend at the convention center. And

00:16:09.379 --> 00:16:11.700
there was an after party. This has to do what

00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:13.679
we're talking about. And as we're driving to

00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:15.659
the after party, I'm like, I'm sold. As we're

00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:17.600
driving to the after party, I have it right here.

00:16:18.179 --> 00:16:21.139
We went by the Niagara Mohawk building, which,

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:23.620
can you see it here? I love it. And I immediately

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:28.200
said, you know what that look, if Jenna and Stacey

00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:31.840
were like villains in a movie, this would be

00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:33.399
their headquarters. That would be our lair. That

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:35.370
would be your lair. Like, look at that. Doesn't

00:16:35.370 --> 00:16:39.509
it look like Stab and Jab or Cosmetic Queen's

00:16:39.509 --> 00:16:41.330
HQ? I don't even know if we're villains. I think

00:16:41.330 --> 00:16:42.389
we could be princesses. Or you could just be

00:16:42.389 --> 00:16:45.610
yourself. Yeah. But doesn't it look like, hey,

00:16:45.970 --> 00:16:50.129
welcome to Cosmetic Queen's HQ? 100%. It's a

00:16:50.129 --> 00:16:52.259
mate? I don't know. He's not lying. We were driving

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:54.080
down the street, and he's like, oh my god, that

00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:56.059
looks like that. I'm like, that should be their

00:16:56.059 --> 00:16:58.019
building. There's an underground garage to keep

00:16:58.019 --> 00:17:00.519
our cars in so we can, like, sleep on a pole,

00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.480
something like that. And slip into our pink scrubs.

00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:08.299
Absolutely. Easy. This is my dream. So you guys

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:12.500
obviously do a lot of work on faces. Is this

00:17:12.500 --> 00:17:14.799
also, is it like full body service? Like what

00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:16.819
are some of the things that you do? Can you fix

00:17:16.819 --> 00:17:20.539
my knee? No. I mean, technically probably I could

00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:25.660
do some injections. So we kind of have like...

00:17:25.390 --> 00:17:29.109
crazy background. Jenna was neuro ICU. I was

00:17:29.109 --> 00:17:32.609
urgent care, emergency medicine, surgery. So

00:17:32.609 --> 00:17:35.009
we probably could fix your knee. Do you want

00:17:35.009 --> 00:17:38.309
us fixing your knee? Probably not. We stay in

00:17:38.309 --> 00:17:40.849
our lane. We try to do what we're really good

00:17:40.849 --> 00:17:42.930
at and what we're passionate about, which is

00:17:42.930 --> 00:17:47.789
what I think drives us to be good at it. We do

00:17:47.789 --> 00:17:50.430
all sorts of body stuff. So Jenna, her one of

00:17:50.430 --> 00:17:52.880
her. big passions is dermatology. So why don't

00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.519
you tell them what you do with the body? So we

00:17:55.519 --> 00:18:00.240
just do skin exams. And I'm a little bit meticulous

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.259
with that. I take a little dermatoscope, which

00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:06.059
is like a little microphone with illumination.

00:18:06.579 --> 00:18:10.059
A microphone? Microscope? Yep. But I thought

00:18:10.059 --> 00:18:12.880
the microphone was weird. I was like, OK. Did

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.400
I say microphone? You did. That's OK. I take

00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:17.319
a microphone. It's very early. Don't worry about

00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.059
it. Staring at my good this mall looks great

00:18:20.059 --> 00:18:23.180
guy. What's up? What's up arm here? How we do

00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:27.440
it? So and I just typically check everything

00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:31.759
head to toe And then if she finds something that's

00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:33.640
suspicious she takes a nice picture of it puts

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.680
it in the patient's chart We decide whether we're

00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:37.859
gonna just monitor it or whether she's gonna

00:18:37.859 --> 00:18:40.579
take a little punch biopsy get those results

00:18:40.579 --> 00:18:43.119
back and then we either excise it right in the

00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.920
house or we refer to some of our friends in the

00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.599
community who can actually do some surgery or,

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.720
you know, more complicated excisions and flaps

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.339
and things like that. We have some lasers and

00:18:55.339 --> 00:18:57.140
a machine called the tri -lift. We've got our

00:18:57.140 --> 00:18:59.579
new machine called the Pleduo. Those can all

00:18:59.579 --> 00:19:04.160
treat body areas. For instance, I've lost a lot

00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:07.420
of weight recently, and over the last two years.

00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:10.420
And so these machines can tighten skin anywhere.

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:12.579
So yesterday, Jen was like, we're ploduo -ing

00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:14.460
your butt. I'm like, can't wait. This should

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:19.440
be fun. Ploduo that ass. Yeah, ploduo. Ploduo.

00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:21.900
That ass. Junk in a trunk. Ploduo. Sounds like

00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:25.059
a Disney movie. Disney's ploduo. Oh, I like that.

00:19:25.059 --> 00:19:26.980
It goes that corner again, you know? I know.

00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.279
The kids are getting rowdy. I can't wait. So

00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:35.119
it's plasma. Nitrogen, nitrogen plasma. Real

00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:37.160
weird shit that we're doing now. We are the first

00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.140
ones on the West Coast to have this machine.

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.579
You mean East Coast? East Coast. It's on the

00:19:41.579 --> 00:19:44.000
West Coast. We're the first ones up. President?

00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:49.000
Microphone? West Coast? Where are we today? Okay,

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:55.009
we got to talk about... It's very early. The

00:19:55.009 --> 00:19:56.869
Indian henna night that we went to last night

00:19:56.869 --> 00:19:59.190
fried our brains. I know. It was so amazing.

00:19:59.210 --> 00:20:00.849
You guys went to a wild party. These people are

00:20:00.849 --> 00:20:02.309
the nicest people in the whole world. It was

00:20:02.309 --> 00:20:04.569
so fun. They just kept trying to get us to eat

00:20:04.569 --> 00:20:08.630
and drink and be merry. That's the judge of good

00:20:08.630 --> 00:20:11.150
people is how much they are concerned about other

00:20:11.150 --> 00:20:12.650
folks having enough to eat. Absolutely. I mean,

00:20:13.029 --> 00:20:15.789
just delights. I mean, beautiful. Just stunning.

00:20:15.970 --> 00:20:18.289
This culture is like none other that I've ever

00:20:18.289 --> 00:20:20.890
been to for a party, but it fried our brains.

00:20:21.369 --> 00:20:25.589
So back to the nitrogen. Yes. Yeah. So as you

00:20:25.589 --> 00:20:28.170
are aware, we have solid, we have gas, we have

00:20:28.170 --> 00:20:31.089
liquid and then we have plasma. This is like

00:20:31.089 --> 00:20:33.410
such a cool thing. So we take the nitrogen and

00:20:33.410 --> 00:20:36.730
argon gas and then we actually have a machine

00:20:36.730 --> 00:20:40.670
that develops it into plasma and we pop that

00:20:40.670 --> 00:20:44.230
into your face or your body. And it works on

00:20:44.230 --> 00:20:48.750
a cellular level in an anabolic state to actually.

00:20:49.150 --> 00:20:55.390
anaerobic state to actually create new collagen

00:20:55.390 --> 00:20:59.029
and work on fine lines, wrinkles, tightening

00:20:59.029 --> 00:21:02.890
without a lot of downtime, without like any pain.

00:21:06.019 --> 00:21:08.400
This is such a cool thing that we have now because

00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.039
the East Coast doesn't have it from anything

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.819
that we have correct It's new technology. Yeah,

00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:16.940
it doesn't well, so the technology has been around

00:21:16.940 --> 00:21:20.119
a really long time But to get it to be stable

00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:24.319
right and the dualness Correct. Is it is it like

00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:25.900
an injection sort of thing? Or is it something

00:21:25.900 --> 00:21:28.039
that's just like applied to the surface? It actually

00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:30.200
looks like we are lighting your face up with

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:34.210
lightning. Okay, you see this spark I see And

00:21:34.210 --> 00:21:36.690
then what it does is it actually penetrates through

00:21:36.690 --> 00:21:39.589
the epidermis of the skin without breaking the

00:21:39.589 --> 00:21:44.269
skin. So reduced ability. No needles involved.

00:21:44.430 --> 00:21:47.250
Correct. So reduced healing because you don't

00:21:47.250 --> 00:21:49.670
have to worry about infection and things like

00:21:49.670 --> 00:21:53.230
that. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. And you can hear that

00:21:53.230 --> 00:21:57.069
pop, pop, pop. You can use this on eyelids. You

00:21:57.069 --> 00:22:00.049
can use it on body. It helps with stretch marks.

00:22:00.230 --> 00:22:03.119
It's like a laser surgery type. Yeah. That's

00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:05.720
incredible only without like breaking the outer

00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:08.700
layer and having you know opportunity for infection

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:12.119
and Healing downtime and actually helps with

00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:16.319
bacteria. Yeah, so like rosacea patients or acne

00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:21.920
patients like wild Wild differences. I there's

00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.519
nothing like yeah, and we try to stay on the

00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:30.279
cutting edge As you can tell I do talk a lot

00:22:30.410 --> 00:22:34.849
So I try to pick everybody's brain. I try to

00:22:34.849 --> 00:22:37.269
learn as much as possible. We're always traveling

00:22:37.269 --> 00:22:40.529
to conferences and meeting new people and networking.

00:22:41.170 --> 00:22:44.930
But I'm also like a skeptic. You have to prove

00:22:44.930 --> 00:22:47.809
to me that there's clinical -based, evidence

00:22:47.809 --> 00:22:51.349
-based medicine. Back it up. Please do not just

00:22:51.349 --> 00:22:54.079
tell me something. and just say, well, that's

00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:56.759
just because someone told me. There's been such

00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:58.059
an attack. It works great. Trust me. There's

00:22:58.059 --> 00:23:00.960
been such an attack on science and facts in this

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.140
country over the last 10 years. And it's just

00:23:03.140 --> 00:23:06.759
nice to hear that someone valuing. Valuing. That's

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:09.299
important. Especially when it comes to medicine

00:23:09.299 --> 00:23:10.759
and people's health. And we're doing this on

00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.160
people's faces and bodies. And first, do no harm.

00:23:15.809 --> 00:23:18.069
We would not do anything to our patients that

00:23:18.069 --> 00:23:20.549
we haven't already done on my mom and dad as

00:23:20.549 --> 00:23:23.589
guinea pigs. Or on ourselves. So if we go visit

00:23:23.589 --> 00:23:25.690
your parents, they're like this because of all

00:23:25.690 --> 00:23:28.690
the things that went wrong. Poor Tom just had

00:23:28.690 --> 00:23:31.950
his first pledo treatment the other day. We called

00:23:31.950 --> 00:23:33.509
him Trilift Tom at the beginning. We're going

00:23:33.509 --> 00:23:35.990
to have to name him like Pledo Papa for this

00:23:35.990 --> 00:23:39.690
or something. How are you pledoing? Oh, he did

00:23:39.690 --> 00:23:44.220
great. He sometimes screws with us. Like, he'll

00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:46.539
pretend like he's stroking out, or he'll pretend

00:23:46.539 --> 00:23:50.000
he's blind, or he'll, like, shout out in his

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:52.980
face. It's so fun when he does that. And our

00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:55.119
butt puckers up, and we're like, did we just

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:58.240
kill my dad? But he did so well. You know where

00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:00.440
she gets it from now. Yeah, exactly. He could

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.619
not shave for a couple days, and I've never seen

00:24:03.619 --> 00:24:07.039
my dad with facial hair here. He has a mustache,

00:24:07.380 --> 00:24:09.900
but I've never seen a beard. And he came in,

00:24:09.900 --> 00:24:13.599
and I was like, who are you? What is this? And,

00:24:13.660 --> 00:24:16.759
but he did great and he's like, my parents love

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:19.799
telling people to guess their age because nobody,

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:23.019
people guess in the 50s or like early 60s and

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:25.859
they're like, we're over 70. Yeah. Love that.

00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:29.660
That's awesome. Can this, this thing, is that.

00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:33.619
La duo. Good for like a big scale. So say people

00:24:33.619 --> 00:24:35.299
lose a massive amount of weight and they've got

00:24:35.299 --> 00:24:39.480
just like. extra skin like crazy. No, so we draw

00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:41.779
the line. We're like, listen, we're not going

00:24:41.779 --> 00:24:44.839
to take your money just to see these minimal

00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:47.339
results. If you've had a significant, you've

00:24:47.339 --> 00:24:50.059
had gastric bypass, you've had a significant

00:24:50.059 --> 00:24:52.539
weight loss, you've been utilizing GLP -1s, and

00:24:52.539 --> 00:24:55.700
you've got a significant amount of skin, we're

00:24:55.700 --> 00:24:57.640
going to refer you for a surgical correction.

00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:00.900
Get that lopped off. Yeah, just get it lopped

00:25:00.900 --> 00:25:02.220
off, and then we'll work on the scars and stuff.

00:25:02.220 --> 00:25:04.140
You can tighten it up. Now if you have some like,

00:25:04.349 --> 00:25:08.009
like people's necks or hands or just like they've

00:25:08.009 --> 00:25:11.269
had like a baby and they have like just a little

00:25:11.269 --> 00:25:13.829
bit of creepiness and just a little bit of skin

00:25:13.829 --> 00:25:16.190
that needs to contract, then that's totally something

00:25:16.190 --> 00:25:18.890
we can address. Awesome. Let me ask this. What

00:25:18.890 --> 00:25:21.470
are like three or five things that everybody

00:25:21.470 --> 00:25:23.750
can do at home before they would come to see

00:25:23.750 --> 00:25:26.549
the cosmetic queens just on a daily basis that

00:25:26.549 --> 00:25:29.730
everybody should be doing just to preserve their

00:25:29.730 --> 00:25:32.269
skin or wrinkles and you know, just daily stuff.

00:25:32.450 --> 00:25:35.009
What do you got? Jenna's number one. Sunscreen.

00:25:35.490 --> 00:25:37.470
Really? Every day. Doesn't matter if it's sunny

00:25:37.470 --> 00:25:41.829
out, which we have that, but today this is great.

00:25:42.390 --> 00:25:47.190
Or even through the cloudy days. Reflects off

00:25:47.190 --> 00:25:51.069
snow. The UV rays penetrate. So you're saying

00:25:51.069 --> 00:25:54.410
put sunscreen on every day. Especially your face

00:25:54.410 --> 00:25:56.950
and your ears and your neck. Tell them what SPF.

00:25:57.150 --> 00:26:00.490
SPF 30 or greater. And tell them what kind. I

00:26:00.490 --> 00:26:03.809
personally like color science, but you can do

00:26:03.809 --> 00:26:07.410
Ulta MD. I meant like tell them like mechanical,

00:26:07.650 --> 00:26:12.650
chemical. Yeah. What do you like? I mean, that's

00:26:12.650 --> 00:26:16.009
that's big. I use a bunch of databases, so it

00:26:16.009 --> 00:26:18.750
depends on what chemicals are in there. So I

00:26:18.750 --> 00:26:22.430
do like to look at ingredients, but I like the

00:26:22.430 --> 00:26:25.250
mechanical. You know, the zinc oxide, the iron

00:26:25.250 --> 00:26:30.049
oxide. The titanium dioxide, those are the ones

00:26:30.049 --> 00:26:34.049
that I look for in a sunscreen. If it has any

00:26:34.049 --> 00:26:37.529
components that start with O, this is the easiest

00:26:37.529 --> 00:26:41.150
thing. Do not buy that one. Whoa, no O. And if

00:26:41.150 --> 00:26:45.950
you go to Target, Walmart, any of the local stores,

00:26:46.150 --> 00:26:52.730
CVS, Kinney's, those are the ones that you'll

00:26:52.730 --> 00:26:55.279
see. There's three of them that always come up

00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:57.299
as the first ingredients in the ingredient list.

00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:59.440
And it's like your ones that you would have used

00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.160
as a kid, like your banana boat and your, like,

00:27:02.579 --> 00:27:05.519
Neutrogena and your... Unfortunately, it can

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:08.740
change hormones and cause cancer. So a lot of

00:27:08.740 --> 00:27:10.380
people are out there and they're like, don't

00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:14.000
use sunscreen. No. Use the proper sun. Use the

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.140
right one. Be smart about what you're looking

00:27:16.140 --> 00:27:18.220
to put on your body. I mean, your skin's your

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:20.660
biggest organ. Right. That's true. That's scientific.

00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:24.779
So you're saying use sunscreen every day. mechanical

00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:27.119
and no ingredients that have the letter O in

00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:29.259
it. I have one more thing for the sunscreen.

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:31.660
Oh, please. Do you think it's just as easy as

00:27:31.660 --> 00:27:34.000
as simple as putting it on one and done? Sure.

00:27:34.099 --> 00:27:37.000
No, every two hours that you are outside, it

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.160
needs to be reapplied. And it needs to be if

00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:42.500
you're using the spray one. Yeah, I hate the

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:46.819
lotion ones. Well, me too. But. You have to spray,

00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:49.559
and then you have to rub it in. And it's one

00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:52.819
inch an inch away from your skin. Rub it in,

00:27:52.900 --> 00:27:56.940
and then I recommend a second round of it. Spray

00:27:56.940 --> 00:28:01.440
one inch in, rub it in, because it's not getting

00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:04.940
to the level as a cream would. Right. And cream,

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:09.220
you need like a cup, like half of this cup to

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:12.019
do your whole body efficiently. Oh my god. So

00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:15.200
I mean, you're going through sunscreen. And just

00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.460
think about, like, that's every two hours you're

00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:21.900
outside. So Jenna keeps this cool little brush

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:24.299
stick in her car and now she's got me doing it.

00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:28.380
But we just brush quickly our hands from driving,

00:28:29.140 --> 00:28:33.460
our face, our neck, our ears. Is this for vanity

00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:36.640
or like anti -aging or is it also obviously to

00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:39.579
prevent skin cancer as well? Both. Sun and smoking

00:28:39.579 --> 00:28:42.279
are the biggest things. So if that's another

00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:45.579
tip, quit smoking. Quit smoking, quit vaping.

00:28:45.819 --> 00:28:48.440
It's bad for your health. We all have our vices.

00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:54.279
What about vaping cannabis? So, vaping in general,

00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:58.539
bad for your health. We're big fans of cannabis,

00:28:59.019 --> 00:29:03.019
actually. We think, you know, maybe look at a

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:05.740
different modality or a way that you could possibly,

00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:09.539
potentially, you know, ingest that, such as gummies

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:13.640
or tinctures or things like that. Because vaping

00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.700
in general, it's been shown now, the studies

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:21.599
are out, this is not good for your lungs. I feel

00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.480
like anybody who's vaped knew that the first

00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:26.440
time they tried it. 100%. Like this is not a

00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:28.740
good thing. Immediate pneumonia. It's wild. And

00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:31.000
they're finding that, you know, smoking, you

00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:33.519
stop smoking, within four hours, things start

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.480
to physiologically change and go back to a healthier

00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.420
state. With vaping, it's permanent irreversible

00:29:39.420 --> 00:29:42.930
lung damage. Jesus. Just gonna put that out there.

00:29:43.210 --> 00:29:46.349
And we all have our vices, right? Like I have

00:29:46.349 --> 00:29:48.910
some patients who I'm like, listen, I'm not like

00:29:48.910 --> 00:29:50.829
trying to be a Debbie Downer, but it is my job

00:29:50.829 --> 00:29:54.910
to like, if you've asked me what you can do to

00:29:54.910 --> 00:29:56.509
make a difference in your health, this is a big

00:29:56.509 --> 00:30:00.690
one. Awesome. Fair. Cosmetic queens. You guys

00:30:00.690 --> 00:30:04.059
are amazing. How do people book an appointment,

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:05.680
get a hold of you? How does that all work? Oh,

00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:08.000
so easy. You can go to our Instagram. There's

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:12.099
links on that. So the .cosmetic .queens on Instagram.

00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:14.759
We also have a Facebook under the Cosmetic Queens.

00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:19.000
Jenna's the Cosmetic NP. I am the Cosmetic PA.

00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:22.160
We have a number, which is easy to remember,

00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:27.869
315 -234 -3535. That is great. Super easy. Yeah,

00:30:28.069 --> 00:30:31.009
really like your dance. I love the dance. And

00:30:31.009 --> 00:30:34.009
you can Google search us. We come right up. Sweet.

00:30:34.289 --> 00:30:36.390
And you have a great podcast with us here at

00:30:36.390 --> 00:30:39.690
Growth Mode Content called the Stab and Jab Podcast,

00:30:39.849 --> 00:30:43.430
which is just wild. It's really a good one. We

00:30:43.430 --> 00:30:45.130
love it. It's the equivalent of the Indian wedding

00:30:45.130 --> 00:30:48.069
you went to. It's a party. It's a party. It is.

00:30:48.069 --> 00:30:51.049
It really is. Yeah. It's true. Love you guys.

00:30:51.130 --> 00:30:55.349
And I think I'll end on this, which is I don't

00:30:55.349 --> 00:30:58.049
know if you guys realize that your friendship,

00:30:58.309 --> 00:31:00.369
you know, the bond that you guys have is palpable.

00:31:00.710 --> 00:31:03.289
And I think that's a big part of why people are

00:31:03.289 --> 00:31:05.490
drawn to you, not even just in business, I think

00:31:05.490 --> 00:31:08.569
just for your podcast and just in general, and

00:31:08.569 --> 00:31:10.529
why people are so open with you guys. There's

00:31:10.529 --> 00:31:14.210
something about this sisterly, it's just, it's

00:31:14.210 --> 00:31:17.289
a dynamic duo. Like some people are just meant

00:31:17.289 --> 00:31:19.970
to be together, you know what I mean? It's great,

00:31:20.069 --> 00:31:22.630
I love it. Last night somebody at that party

00:31:22.630 --> 00:31:27.059
was like, you two are sisters? I'm like, and

00:31:27.059 --> 00:31:29.240
I think it's weird people think we've known each

00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:31.980
other since we were like very very young and

00:31:31.980 --> 00:31:34.980
it has been a little longer now we we never know

00:31:34.980 --> 00:31:37.039
we never know how old my dog Dahlia is she's

00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.519
always two we never know how long we've known

00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:41.640
each other it's always like four or five years

00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.200
it's just like we never know time is passing

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:47.859
and we're not you know it's just like one of

00:31:47.859 --> 00:31:49.920
those things where obviously on your own you

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:51.779
guys have a lot to offer you're both amazing

00:31:51.779 --> 00:31:54.490
but it's just when you two are together, it just

00:31:54.490 --> 00:31:57.269
feels right. Like, it's Jenna and Stacey, Stacey

00:31:57.269 --> 00:31:58.769
and Jenna. That's why you guys are killing it.

00:31:58.789 --> 00:32:00.769
We have people that ask for us both in the room

00:32:00.769 --> 00:32:02.390
at the same time. Right. They want the full...

00:32:02.390 --> 00:32:04.490
Can we get the Jenna Stacey appointment? How

00:32:04.490 --> 00:32:05.690
do we book that? It would be like if you were

00:32:05.690 --> 00:32:07.490
going to visit Simon and Garfunkel and you got

00:32:07.490 --> 00:32:09.529
Simon and you're like, this is cool, but like,

00:32:09.529 --> 00:32:11.710
let's get Garfunkel in here. You know? Like,

00:32:12.009 --> 00:32:15.220
I want the full... Wait, which one is Garfunkel?

00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:19.519
Garfunkel? Paul Simon, you know, he was the main

00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.339
guy. Which one of them? Oh, um, I think I would

00:32:22.339 --> 00:32:24.779
go Simon and Garfunkel. Oh, okay, great. Stacy

00:32:24.779 --> 00:32:27.079
Simon and Jenna Garfunkel. There you go. Yeah,

00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:29.019
I think we're into that. Let's listen to that

00:32:29.019 --> 00:32:31.420
music. We nailed it. Do it. Simon and Garfunkel.

00:32:31.700 --> 00:32:33.960
My dad raised me on that. Neil Diamond, baby.

00:32:34.940 --> 00:32:36.759
That's your balls, it's Neil Diamond. And I do

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:39.019
think that our differences celebrate like each

00:32:39.019 --> 00:32:41.880
other and like really come in handy because...

00:32:41.789 --> 00:32:44.490
The experiences she's had in life really like

00:32:44.490 --> 00:32:47.450
helped guide me in certain decisions or medical,

00:32:47.930 --> 00:32:51.589
you know, and then same vice versa. I feel like

00:32:51.589 --> 00:32:53.410
she always calls herself the awkward turtle.

00:32:53.670 --> 00:32:56.130
But like I've really seemed to her seem seem

00:32:56.130 --> 00:32:58.470
to her. I've really seemed to her president.

00:32:58.990 --> 00:33:03.029
Microphone. I really think that you've evolved

00:33:03.029 --> 00:33:07.450
kind of into like like feeling more confident

00:33:07.450 --> 00:33:11.890
and being more present in in. being able to public

00:33:11.890 --> 00:33:14.829
speak. And she just did a Center of Excellent

00:33:14.829 --> 00:33:17.970
event and she did her first presentation and

00:33:17.970 --> 00:33:21.890
like nailed it. And I wasn't as sweaty as I was

00:33:21.890 --> 00:33:24.029
when I do. I think it's like anything. The more

00:33:24.029 --> 00:33:26.430
you do it, the more comfortable. It's like immersion

00:33:26.430 --> 00:33:28.690
therapy, right? Like we just like throw her to

00:33:28.690 --> 00:33:30.230
the wolves. It's the way to do it. And then I'm

00:33:30.230 --> 00:33:31.809
like, you're not afraid of the wolves anymore.

00:33:31.809 --> 00:33:34.049
It was also easy because Stacey sat like in front

00:33:34.049 --> 00:33:36.769
of me, like here. So I just presented to her

00:33:36.769 --> 00:33:39.690
and just made sure I scan the crowd real quick.

00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:43.200
and I'd be like. That's great. That's how you

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:44.700
do it. Good job. That is how you do it. I hate

00:33:44.700 --> 00:33:46.220
when people would be like, just imagine everyone

00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:47.920
in their underwear. I was like, that grosses

00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:49.700
me out. Have you seen the people in this room?

00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:51.519
Yeah, then I'd be like, no. No, I'd rather stare

00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:55.099
at Stacey. I don't want to end this yet. Oh.

00:33:55.500 --> 00:34:00.019
I want to congratulate you guys on Good News

00:34:00.019 --> 00:34:05.359
York. Thank you. I mean, I have watched you from

00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:07.519
the very, very, very, very beginning. Don't get

00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.820
me wrong. And you guys have literally catapulted.

00:34:10.820 --> 00:34:12.840
And I feel like, Matt, we've known each other

00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:17.199
before you started this, and local IT. And you've

00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:19.739
run that IT department very differently than

00:34:19.739 --> 00:34:22.000
other people. And I've always been like, OK,

00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:25.360
he's really into business. You love buildings.

00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:28.219
I'm going to buy a building. You do love any

00:34:28.219 --> 00:34:30.639
building he sees. Anytime he's like, what could

00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:34.440
we do with that space? The creativity. And you've

00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:38.440
run your IT department differently. But this

00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:41.019
branch that you're now going out into the podcast

00:34:41.019 --> 00:34:43.780
world, I just want to applaud you guys. I've

00:34:43.780 --> 00:34:45.699
seen the different things that you guys have

00:34:45.699 --> 00:34:47.460
done, that you've interviewed, that you've gone

00:34:47.460 --> 00:34:50.599
to, that you're doing with the community. It's

00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:54.019
just. this is a totally cool vibe that we're

00:34:54.019 --> 00:34:59.119
doing in a podcast realm, and podcasts fail a

00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.079
lot of the time. And you guys just tell these

00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:03.920
people, because we're gonna have new people listening

00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:06.219
to this because we're on it, tell them how many

00:35:06.219 --> 00:35:08.619
podcasts you've done already now. No, this is,

00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:14.039
Danny, what episode is this? 110. 110 episodes.

00:35:14.619 --> 00:35:18.119
Well, so yeah, when we hit 100 a week or two

00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:22.650
ago, We gave out the stat that is just over five

00:35:22.650 --> 00:35:25.809
percent of all podcasts make it to episode 100

00:35:25.809 --> 00:35:28.670
Wild and most people just sort of give up if

00:35:28.670 --> 00:35:31.030
they don't become famous on episode two, but

00:35:31.030 --> 00:35:36.309
you know, yeah There's an important element to

00:35:36.309 --> 00:35:38.650
it and that is because of our clients at growth

00:35:38.650 --> 00:35:42.030
mode content and your podcasts such as yourselves

00:35:42.380 --> 00:35:44.500
That allows us to do this. Right. You know, that's

00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:46.119
our bread and butter is our clients and their

00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:48.619
podcasts. And we're able to do this because of

00:35:48.619 --> 00:35:51.860
you, because of our clients. So as much as you're

00:35:51.860 --> 00:35:53.860
praising us, we praise you for that. So I mean,

00:35:53.980 --> 00:35:56.000
this is and this guy, I mean, I've praised him

00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:57.980
a million times on the air. He's a brilliant

00:35:57.980 --> 00:36:00.179
businessman. He leads with his heart. He treats

00:36:00.179 --> 00:36:03.699
his his clients and his employees like gold.

00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:06.840
And, you know, I'm just and Danny, we couldn't

00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:08.820
do without Danny Tripodi. So, I mean, Amanda,

00:36:08.980 --> 00:36:11.239
I mean, Amanda, the staff here, Amanda Miller,

00:36:11.260 --> 00:36:14.400
phenomenal. And you guys always are looking to

00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:16.539
push the envelope. Like, you know, what do you

00:36:16.539 --> 00:36:20.019
guys need? What can we do? Is this graphic okay?

00:36:20.380 --> 00:36:21.780
We're gonna get those edits. Come dress up as

00:36:21.780 --> 00:36:25.000
a unicorn. Yeah, that's coming. Let's give you

00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:27.639
extra value where we can. Let's go to an Indian

00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:29.920
wedding. I mean... You know, we do it all. And

00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:31.880
I mean, I'm just a little disappointed that we

00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:35.260
haven't farted yet or done like... Thank you.

00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:37.820
Thank you. I'm like, there's so many gadgets

00:36:37.820 --> 00:36:40.260
over here and we haven't really... All of them.

00:36:40.539 --> 00:36:42.340
I have this problem with TikTok shop, where I

00:36:42.340 --> 00:36:43.780
see these goofy little things. I'm like, Mike

00:36:43.780 --> 00:36:45.519
would love this. And then I realize he does love

00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:48.199
it. And it just annoys me. So much. It just annoys

00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:50.840
me. Yeah, it's great. But you guys are great.

00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:53.940
We love you. We see you. We see you. We really

00:36:53.940 --> 00:36:56.579
do. The hard work that you're putting into it.

00:36:57.179 --> 00:36:59.179
We really appreciate that. Yeah, we really do.

00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:03.000
Honestly, it means the world. And to see that

00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:04.860
we're getting some traction for these efforts

00:37:04.860 --> 00:37:07.219
and some people are appreciating them, really,

00:37:07.340 --> 00:37:09.199
it's awesome. And I've been listening to some

00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.079
of your podcasts. And I think it does kind of

00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:15.860
like what our idea was behind the foundation.

00:37:16.380 --> 00:37:19.880
You're letting people shine that may not always

00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:24.900
shine. I'm in your face, glittery sparkle bomb

00:37:24.900 --> 00:37:29.190
has gone off. If I'm in a room, you can hear

00:37:29.190 --> 00:37:31.730
me. But there are other people who are doing

00:37:31.730 --> 00:37:33.949
great, great, great, great work in our community

00:37:33.949 --> 00:37:36.230
and have such good news to share with Good News

00:37:36.230 --> 00:37:37.869
York. That's why we do it. And you're giving

00:37:37.869 --> 00:37:41.650
them a platform and an ability to share it. Yeah,

00:37:41.829 --> 00:37:44.570
and get their voice out and become heard. And

00:37:44.570 --> 00:37:46.969
I just think that that's special. Well, you're

00:37:46.969 --> 00:37:51.949
special. Jenna and Stacey, the cosmetic queens,

00:37:52.409 --> 00:37:55.630

00:38:23.460 --> 00:38:25.599
remember the plug. We love you, Zach. Way to

00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:27.480
go, Zach. He's the man. I don't know you, Zach,

00:38:27.659 --> 00:38:30.960
but cheers to you, Zach. Honestly, when your

00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.260
spot opens, we got to hook you up with him, because

00:38:34.260 --> 00:38:36.619
it's the mobile billboard. He can actually park

00:38:36.619 --> 00:38:37.920
the thing in front of you. He drives around in

00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.139
a truck that's a billboard on all sides. It's

00:38:40.139 --> 00:38:42.699
amazing. It's awesome. We love it. Okay, Zach.

00:38:42.969 --> 00:38:45.510
OK, Zach, we'll be in contact. All right. And

00:38:45.510 --> 00:38:49.150
folks, that is all for this segment. I think

00:38:49.150 --> 00:38:52.150
that we might, do we have a second segment today?

00:38:52.630 --> 00:38:54.550
Yes, we do. All right, so this is not goodbye.

00:38:54.750 --> 00:38:58.309
This is, hold on. We'll be right back. Yeah,

00:38:58.530 --> 00:39:01.170
all right. Right here. Thanks, guys. Thank you.

00:39:01.469 --> 00:39:05.230
We're back. What's going on, guys? Good news,

00:39:05.349 --> 00:39:07.489
York. This is an action packed. I love when we

00:39:07.489 --> 00:39:10.119
have. Double bill episodes. This one's gonna

00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:14.179
go crazy because not only do we have the incredible

00:39:14.179 --> 00:39:18.059
Cosmetic queens here telling us everything we

00:39:18.059 --> 00:39:20.280
need to do to not look like such schlubs, right?

00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:24.920
We've got we've got an og here. We've got my

00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:26.860
old buddy Jeff now We've talked about in the

00:39:26.860 --> 00:39:29.500
past how many many years ago. I opened a podcast

00:39:29.500 --> 00:39:31.380
studio downtown and what was the tech garden?

00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:35.159
Yep And during that time, we made a bunch of

00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.000
casts, and we talked about a bunch of interesting

00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.820
people. And one of them was this guy, Jeff. Now,

00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:43.980
at the time, it was specifically the name, was

00:39:43.980 --> 00:39:45.920
it Salt City Horror Fest? Was it the name of

00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:48.380
the festival? Yeah, it was Salt City Horror Fest,

00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:51.480
and then we did, it was kind of a branch off

00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:54.320
from the Sean Lue Horror Fest, started off with

00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:55.820
a Sean Lue Horror Fest, was with a friend of

00:39:55.820 --> 00:39:58.000
mine back in the day. He passed away of brain

00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:00.699
cancer. Oh, wow. So we dedicated a film festival

00:40:00.699 --> 00:40:05.349
for about five years. raised over 30 grand between

00:40:05.349 --> 00:40:07.610
Gale Sound Children's Hospital, American Cancer

00:40:07.610 --> 00:40:10.789
Society, and a couple of other organizations.

00:40:11.590 --> 00:40:13.949
And then we started the Brew and View 35 millimeter

00:40:13.949 --> 00:40:16.530
film series. And we were doing like benefits

00:40:16.530 --> 00:40:19.389
for like the Assault City Roller Derby team.

00:40:19.449 --> 00:40:21.849
And then we were doing stuff for like the SBCA

00:40:21.849 --> 00:40:25.210
and the Cat Coalition. So all of our little film

00:40:25.210 --> 00:40:29.010
events were kind of the circle around. raise

00:40:29.010 --> 00:40:31.690
the money for good causes, local stuff like that.

00:40:31.969 --> 00:40:34.489
And then Salt City Horror Fest, that lasted for

00:40:34.489 --> 00:40:39.110
a while too. This guy has got some legitimate

00:40:39.110 --> 00:40:42.510
local film credits. Everything he's talking about,

00:40:42.530 --> 00:40:46.610
he's involved in. I think, do you still work

00:40:46.610 --> 00:40:49.530
with the most as well? Yep, been there 25 years.

00:40:49.530 --> 00:40:53.369
Wow. And one of the OGs from there, still around.

00:40:54.190 --> 00:40:56.869
I'm the longest in front of employee there still.

00:40:58.380 --> 00:41:02.659
I got, IMAX is a, like film, IMAX film. When

00:41:02.659 --> 00:41:05.820
it started off with a dome screen, it was a 15

00:41:05.820 --> 00:41:09.199
per 70 millimeter IMAX film. And then, you know,

00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:11.920
I was one of like maybe five IMAX projectionists

00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:14.840
in upstate New York that could run that projector.

00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:17.880
And then during COVID, we got rid of the film

00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:20.079
stuff and like redid the whole theater. It's

00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:23.079
still a dome, but now it's all laser projection.

00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:27.199
It's pretty awesome. And been working with After

00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:31.460
Dark. doing side horror screenings and creamers

00:41:31.460 --> 00:41:34.340
and stuff, because the most can't. They don't

00:41:34.340 --> 00:41:37.059
want to sponsor horror stuff because of the science

00:41:37.059 --> 00:41:39.039
center, so we have an outside promoter come in.

00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:41.079
They want to be slightly more family friendly

00:41:41.079 --> 00:41:45.260
than some of these classics, right? But honestly,

00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.000
I'd love to talk about that just for a minute,

00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:48.960
because I think that's a resource that so many

00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:50.719
people don't even realize. And I remember even

00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:53.500
from when I was young, we'd go to the most to

00:41:53.500 --> 00:41:55.380
see this IMAX theater, and they'd talk about

00:41:55.380 --> 00:41:57.699
how we have the IMAX dome, because there's even

00:41:57.699 --> 00:42:00.420
different types of IMAX, right? And it was such

00:42:00.420 --> 00:42:04.059
a unique and special thing that right here, we

00:42:04.059 --> 00:42:06.800
had this incredible theater. I've become a huge

00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:10.780
fan of the sphere in Las Vegas, but I consider

00:42:10.780 --> 00:42:14.300
that just a larger scale. of the theater at the

00:42:14.300 --> 00:42:16.039
most. It really is sort of that very similar

00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:20.400
dome concept, just a little bigger. But if you

00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:22.500
could just talk a little bit about just how rare

00:42:22.500 --> 00:42:24.980
these types of theaters are anywhere in the country.

00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:28.599
It's now the National Grid Explorer Dome. And

00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:31.199
before it was the Bristol Omni Theater, it's

00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:33.619
still the same thing, just a different name.

00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:37.860
And they are really rare. There's a lot of theaters

00:42:37.860 --> 00:42:40.599
were like torn down. There was a period of time

00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:43.750
when they all just like rip them down, and then

00:42:43.750 --> 00:42:48.309
they rebuild them for digital systems. But we

00:42:48.309 --> 00:42:50.469
kind of just converted everything to digital.

00:42:51.510 --> 00:42:54.030
And this is the only theater in New York that

00:42:54.030 --> 00:42:58.250
does 4K laser projection. Wow. That scale. And

00:42:58.250 --> 00:43:03.730
it's so crystal clear, the image. It's amazing.

00:43:03.989 --> 00:43:08.469
You got four 4K lasers. There's no, they're all

00:43:08.469 --> 00:43:10.610
Chrissy projectors that are amazing. There are

00:43:10.610 --> 00:43:13.489
no lamps that you have to change out, none of

00:43:13.489 --> 00:43:17.809
that stuff, and it's beautiful, and it's so sick

00:43:17.809 --> 00:43:21.349
to see a movie in there. Do they need to, I remember

00:43:21.349 --> 00:43:24.469
when it was the regular film, The Giant Projector,

00:43:24.510 --> 00:43:26.309
it was a big thing. The movie had to be shot

00:43:26.309 --> 00:43:28.670
a certain way for that, right? Do you still,

00:43:28.670 --> 00:43:30.550
with the digital, does it have to be specifically

00:43:30.550 --> 00:43:32.849
shot for this format, or can they take kind of

00:43:32.849 --> 00:43:36.010
more standard movies? A lot of these have, 40

00:43:36.010 --> 00:43:38.590
minute documentaries are shot digitally, so you

00:43:38.590 --> 00:43:42.769
can just like render it to fit domes. You can

00:43:42.769 --> 00:43:46.570
go flat, which is at Destiny USA, that's a flat

00:43:46.570 --> 00:43:52.630
IMX, and that's a crappy Christie, I think it

00:43:52.630 --> 00:43:54.789
might be a Barco, but they have bulbs in their

00:43:54.789 --> 00:43:57.329
projectors, so we are way better than them. Yeah,

00:43:57.389 --> 00:43:59.530
that's great. Yeah, I got a question about that

00:43:59.530 --> 00:44:02.530
because, you know, you see... Now with technology

00:44:02.530 --> 00:44:05.710
and there's 4K and high def and you know, there's

00:44:05.710 --> 00:44:07.409
there's these videos you can see online where

00:44:07.409 --> 00:44:09.849
like they'll show an old episode of Dawson's

00:44:09.849 --> 00:44:12.429
Creek and they're like, you know, you can clearly

00:44:12.429 --> 00:44:14.230
see now when they walked outside and stepped

00:44:14.230 --> 00:44:17.190
on the snow that it's it was blankets because

00:44:17.190 --> 00:44:20.070
they didn't have HD back then. I feel like and

00:44:20.070 --> 00:44:21.769
correct me if I'm wrong. In horror, there's a

00:44:21.769 --> 00:44:23.769
lot of sleight of hand, a lot of shadows, a lot

00:44:23.769 --> 00:44:25.690
of lighting that goes in to make some of these

00:44:25.690 --> 00:44:29.579
effects look real. Has the 4K and high -def made

00:44:29.579 --> 00:44:31.539
it a little more complicated to shoot horror

00:44:31.539 --> 00:44:35.519
films? No, not actually. A lot of horror directors

00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.219
and special effects departments are still sticking

00:44:38.219 --> 00:44:40.980
with practical effects, and they can get more

00:44:40.980 --> 00:44:43.699
out of it. It looks better because you can make

00:44:43.699 --> 00:44:46.400
it more bloody with better colors and the lighting

00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:48.719
and stuff. It really hasn't changed. Even if

00:44:48.719 --> 00:44:51.980
you remaster an older film from the 80s or the

00:44:51.980 --> 00:44:57.050
70s and 4K, it just looks better. The movies

00:44:57.050 --> 00:44:59.289
were shot on film, so you still have that film

00:44:59.289 --> 00:45:02.309
quality that makes it look more like a film and

00:45:02.309 --> 00:45:05.269
not like a digital something or other. There

00:45:05.269 --> 00:45:08.110
was a whole heyday during the 80s when he did

00:45:08.110 --> 00:45:10.789
all these like shot on video horror films that

00:45:10.789 --> 00:45:13.750
were like on VHS cameras and VHS tapes. And they

00:45:13.750 --> 00:45:15.329
still looked like garbage, but they were meant

00:45:15.329 --> 00:45:20.059
to look that way. Right. So it's like that. Horror

00:45:20.059 --> 00:45:22.079
is like something that everyone like appreciates

00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:24.960
and respects no matter how it looks Because you're

00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:27.800
always a fan of that genre and you can watch

00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:30.099
like the crappiest horror film and still be entertained

00:45:30.099 --> 00:45:33.219
because it looks like garbage or Something that's

00:45:33.219 --> 00:45:35.559
like, you know alien which just looks amazing

00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:38.440
and the alien earth show that was just on on

00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:42.960
Fox, you know Yeah, it was it was fun But my

00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:45.860
forte is like still trying to do original film.

00:45:46.179 --> 00:45:49.460
So that's what the palace is. Yeah When Michael

00:45:49.460 --> 00:45:52.000
Haggerty and Paul Valente were there, they just

00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:53.860
let me kind of like run wild and do whatever

00:45:53.860 --> 00:45:55.619
I wanted. That's why we're doing these maroon

00:45:55.619 --> 00:45:58.179
views and all these horror festivals. It was

00:45:58.179 --> 00:46:01.019
like, you know, they weren't... It was rather

00:46:01.019 --> 00:46:03.840
inexpensive to do a movie there. And, you know,

00:46:03.900 --> 00:46:07.039
I basically didn't make a dime. Still don't make

00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:09.739
a dime doing these. It's more for the love of

00:46:09.739 --> 00:46:13.920
trying to... Self -fulfill it. Yeah. And considering...

00:46:14.030 --> 00:46:16.510
Probably over a thousand films I've screened

00:46:16.510 --> 00:46:19.889
in that venue on 35 or at other places too. So

00:46:19.889 --> 00:46:23.110
I've done a lot of 35 millimeter movies and I

00:46:23.110 --> 00:46:25.610
have not run the projector once. It's always

00:46:25.610 --> 00:46:27.869
like, I'm the guy who puts it all together. Who's

00:46:27.869 --> 00:46:29.869
just like putting fires out and all that kind

00:46:29.869 --> 00:46:32.130
of stuff. And we'll hire a projectionist. He'll

00:46:32.130 --> 00:46:35.389
do, he'll take care of the movies and love of

00:46:35.389 --> 00:46:38.989
35. The palace just recently had a tech service

00:46:38.989 --> 00:46:41.570
call. So they have all new stuff in there. So

00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:44.519
It looks a lot better, sounds a lot better. We

00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:47.440
were having some sound issues recently for the

00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:49.699
last couple things we were doing, you know, some

00:46:49.699 --> 00:46:52.739
mini horror festivals and whatnot. But we got

00:46:52.739 --> 00:46:55.760
all those bugs like tweaked out and had some

00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:57.639
professionals from Buffalo come out and like

00:46:57.639 --> 00:46:59.860
fix everything. So it looks, it sounds a lot

00:46:59.860 --> 00:47:02.619
better now. We had a, they spent like a good

00:47:02.619 --> 00:47:06.679
12 hours tweaking stuff. I like 35 because that's

00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:09.539
the way it was like when we grew up and I grew

00:47:09.539 --> 00:47:12.260
up in the theater, I watched you know, movies

00:47:12.260 --> 00:47:14.699
like, you know, when I was five years old, watching

00:47:14.699 --> 00:47:16.960
Alien, The Beast Within, and stuff like that.

00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:18.920
And it's, you know, I want to bring them back

00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:22.159
for those people that want to bring their kids.

00:47:22.500 --> 00:47:24.599
You know, I want to, when my kid gets old enough,

00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:27.519
I want him to see Alien in the theater or film.

00:47:28.460 --> 00:47:31.119
And a lot of my friends, I grew up in high school

00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:33.840
and now dads who are, I see them with their kids

00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:36.760
watching original film prints because that's

00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:38.960
what he grew up and he wants his kids to have

00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:41.309
that experience too. Kind of how it was intended

00:47:41.309 --> 00:47:44.110
to be shown, you know? Exactly. That's awesome.

00:47:44.730 --> 00:47:46.690
I'm a big fan of the Palisade. I got married

00:47:46.690 --> 00:47:50.030
there. And I just think it's one of the coolest

00:47:50.030 --> 00:47:53.309
places ever. We made use of it. We made movie

00:47:53.309 --> 00:47:55.230
trailers and everything. Oh, that's awesome.

00:47:55.250 --> 00:47:57.030
Before the ceremony is done. That is awesome.

00:47:57.030 --> 00:48:00.610
It was cool. So Jeff, let's talk about what's

00:48:00.610 --> 00:48:03.590
happening specifically coming up here. You've

00:48:03.590 --> 00:48:07.090
got an event with a bunch of awesome movies and

00:48:07.090 --> 00:48:08.730
some panels and things. Tell us a little bit

00:48:08.730 --> 00:48:11.119
about that. The Syracuse International Film Fest,

00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:13.539
which was created by Owen Shapiro, started in

00:48:13.539 --> 00:48:16.940
2003. I've been involved with them, guys, since

00:48:16.940 --> 00:48:21.300
probably 2005. And more, they're a tech guy.

00:48:23.139 --> 00:48:25.920
And one of the best memories is me and James

00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:29.719
Earl Jones at the landmark. Wow. Awesome. But

00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:32.780
we've had a lot of cool people, some Joel Schumacher,

00:48:33.099 --> 00:48:35.219
he was there when he did Falling Down on 35,

00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:38.280
and that was the same time we had Bobcat there.

00:48:39.019 --> 00:48:41.719
And there was a funny story, I have to segue

00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:45.460
off of, we were screening. Um, falling down was

00:48:45.460 --> 00:48:48.000
the scope print, which is, you know, flat. It's

00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:50.639
more like a four by three image where scope is

00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:52.820
more like it's 16 by nine. Okay. You see it on

00:48:52.820 --> 00:48:55.820
the screen. Yep. So the projection is, um, my,

00:48:55.820 --> 00:48:58.139
my friend, George Abba, who recently passed away,

00:48:58.139 --> 00:49:00.739
he was also IMAX projectionists. He was running

00:49:00.739 --> 00:49:05.420
the movies and falling down was scope and Joe

00:49:05.420 --> 00:49:07.400
Schumacher comes running in. He's like, the movie

00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:09.840
looks like shit. It's like garbage because it's

00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:12.400
like crap cropped and stuff. And then George

00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:15.400
is like, You shot it in scope. We're showing

00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:18.860
it in scope. He's like oh fuck man. Oh And then

00:49:18.860 --> 00:49:21.500
you hear out in the audience you hear Bobcats

00:49:21.500 --> 00:49:24.699
yells Joel shut the fuck up, man You gotta shut

00:49:24.699 --> 00:49:26.539
the fuck up people are trying to watch your fucking

00:49:26.539 --> 00:49:29.489
movie out here, and then Joel just like got all

00:49:29.489 --> 00:49:33.449
like, oh, man. And then he scattered out of the

00:49:33.449 --> 00:49:37.050
projection booth all defeated and stuff. Wow.

00:49:37.389 --> 00:49:40.909
Side note, that is one of my most favorite movies,

00:49:40.989 --> 00:49:46.070
Falling Down. It's so underrated. Because that

00:49:46.070 --> 00:49:49.190
character in that movie is all of us at some

00:49:49.190 --> 00:49:52.789
point. He's doing what we all like when you're

00:49:52.789 --> 00:49:54.849
stuck in traffic and you're having the shittiest

00:49:54.849 --> 00:49:57.340
week of your life. That movie is what you envision

00:49:57.340 --> 00:50:00.420
you wish you could do. It's so great. And he

00:50:00.420 --> 00:50:02.519
was phenomenal in that movie. I'm blanking out

00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:06.199
on the... Who was the star of that? It was Douglas.

00:50:06.460 --> 00:50:09.739
Michael Douglas. Just a performance for the ages,

00:50:09.940 --> 00:50:11.920
man. Such a good movie. Yeah, it was the classic.

00:50:12.099 --> 00:50:14.039
And just to show that with Joel Schumacher, the

00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:16.159
director there, was amazing. You know, sitting

00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:18.659
with Bobcat, because we showed a couple of his

00:50:18.659 --> 00:50:21.900
movies that weekend, too. And it was pretty cool.

00:50:22.179 --> 00:50:26.539
But this weekend... We usually the last couple

00:50:26.539 --> 00:50:30.099
years when Michelle took it over from Owen and

00:50:30.099 --> 00:50:32.500
Owen now lives in Rochester So Michelle has been

00:50:32.500 --> 00:50:35.539
taking the reins. She's the new director of there

00:50:35.539 --> 00:50:38.820
We did it one year at the Red House and then

00:50:38.820 --> 00:50:41.340
we did something, you know We tried to do some

00:50:41.340 --> 00:50:43.679
stuff at the most but it didn't work out. But

00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:47.380
this year she's out of Casanovia Friday this

00:50:47.380 --> 00:50:50.440
Friday Saturday tomorrow Saturday and Sunday

00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:53.219
and I think it's a Stephen Baldwin's getting

00:50:53.219 --> 00:50:56.940
the Sophia Ward on Sunday afternoon But he's

00:50:56.940 --> 00:50:59.380
in town for the whole weekend so he'll be coming

00:50:59.380 --> 00:51:01.860
to the palace more than likely on Saturday just

00:51:01.860 --> 00:51:05.280
to pop in and say hi and stuff and I think he's

00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:07.619
friends of Guinevere Turner who is the screenwriter

00:51:07.619 --> 00:51:11.780
who will be there on Saturday doing a Q &A for

00:51:11.780 --> 00:51:14.460
American Psycho, which we're doing on 35 and

00:51:14.460 --> 00:51:18.420
this is like a pristine print I got screenshots

00:51:18.420 --> 00:51:20.780
from the projectionist who over at the palace

00:51:20.780 --> 00:51:23.900
now is Adam Ast. He's a local musician, really

00:51:23.900 --> 00:51:26.960
awesome dude. And he's like, dude, you got to

00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:28.639
check out these like screenshots of the movies

00:51:28.639 --> 00:51:31.760
like in Mackey. Like, like it was like never

00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:35.000
screened before. So I'm super stoked to see that

00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:38.260
movie on 35. So she's Eric, one of your Turner

00:51:38.260 --> 00:51:41.460
and she has a history of, you know, been working

00:51:41.460 --> 00:51:44.340
with, you know, doing a lot of shorts and a lot

00:51:44.340 --> 00:51:47.789
of TV shows. I think I have some of her bio stuff

00:51:47.789 --> 00:51:53.769
here. Really sweet lady. And I'm just looking

00:51:53.769 --> 00:51:55.809
forward to meeting her because I found a Newsweek

00:51:55.809 --> 00:51:58.789
with David Duchovny on the cover of it. Nice.

00:51:58.789 --> 00:52:01.610
And in the top corner was a little thing about

00:52:01.610 --> 00:52:04.349
American Psycho. So I'm like, oh, crap. I got

00:52:04.349 --> 00:52:06.389
to bring that with me. And I read the article.

00:52:06.489 --> 00:52:08.590
And she talks in the article and stuff like that.

00:52:08.630 --> 00:52:09.949
So I'm going to have her sign it. That's awesome.

00:52:09.949 --> 00:52:12.269
I'm still a fan boy. Yeah, hey. Just the stuff

00:52:12.269 --> 00:52:15.679
I own. But yeah, it's cool. We're doing two horror

00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:19.119
films before that on digital. This movie called

00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:22.880
Al Jocko, which is a 20 minute, 22 minute short

00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:26.420
from Puerto Rico. It's a urban legend about this,

00:52:26.699 --> 00:52:30.880
like this, like the zombie fisherman guy who

00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:34.920
allegedly is still there, his ghost and he'll

00:52:34.920 --> 00:52:37.840
haunt people and this one section of the island.

00:52:38.219 --> 00:52:41.869
And so he the director Adrian I met over the

00:52:41.869 --> 00:52:44.570
summer working the state fair and I said hey

00:52:44.570 --> 00:52:46.590
you know what let's screen your movie and he's

00:52:46.590 --> 00:52:48.630
like all right so we got his movie submitted

00:52:48.630 --> 00:52:51.469
and it's playing and it's really good it's won

00:52:51.469 --> 00:52:54.570
some awards and we're looking forward to having

00:52:54.570 --> 00:52:58.730
that play officially for it's like us premier

00:52:58.730 --> 00:53:01.349
yeah so that would be first and then this movie

00:53:01.349 --> 00:53:05.309
jacked which is another uh film that was shot

00:53:05.309 --> 00:53:08.380
actually locally in Ithaca It's kind of like

00:53:08.380 --> 00:53:12.260
a throwback to the 80s slasher genre. People

00:53:12.260 --> 00:53:15.440
get stuck in a car, and then they're getting

00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:17.619
stalked by this serial killer, and they call

00:53:17.619 --> 00:53:21.280
him The Creep. And we have the DP there, the

00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:23.199
director, and a couple of the cast members that

00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:25.880
are going to be doing a Q &A. That's awesome.

00:53:26.659 --> 00:53:29.940
That's awesome. How do folks get tickets to this?

00:53:30.019 --> 00:53:31.739
Is it all at the door? Do they get them in advance?

00:53:31.820 --> 00:53:34.260
How does it work? You get them at the door, and

00:53:34.260 --> 00:53:38.000
it's blocked. It's like the... The two horror

00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:40.420
films in the beginning, Jacked and Jacko, El

00:53:40.420 --> 00:53:44.280
Jacko, it's like a $15 ticket so you can see

00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:46.380
a double feature. And then American Psycho is

00:53:46.380 --> 00:53:48.679
like 15 bucks. And then the last film, which

00:53:48.679 --> 00:53:51.800
is Just Kids, which was shot on the West Coast,

00:53:52.219 --> 00:53:56.780
it's very controversial about transitioning and

00:53:56.780 --> 00:54:00.320
how families can cope with that and how certain

00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:05.039
states are trying to ban the... you know, the

00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:08.760
process of doing it. I see. You know, the medical

00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:13.360
stuff. And it's really informative. If you are

00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.480
on the fence about, you know, transition, you

00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:18.000
know, what it really is, I would say watch Just

00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:20.480
Kids. You can educate yourself on it and you

00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:23.860
can educate that it's not just, you know, a blue

00:54:23.860 --> 00:54:27.619
-red topic. It's, you know, about people and

00:54:27.619 --> 00:54:30.960
what they have to go through and with their families

00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:33.519
and how do they make adjustments to make themselves

00:54:33.820 --> 00:54:38.219
feel like they belong in society and it's a very

00:54:38.219 --> 00:54:40.780
heartwarming movie and I almost cried watching

00:54:40.780 --> 00:54:44.820
you know preview of it and um yeah so it's really

00:54:44.820 --> 00:54:47.900
good so that's last we don't have anyone um coming

00:54:47.900 --> 00:54:50.900
out for that movie unfortunately um it's just

00:54:50.900 --> 00:54:52.800
you know we weren't able to get that work out

00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:55.679
because the people the directors and the producers

00:54:55.679 --> 00:54:58.739
are in you know other projects and stuff but

00:54:58.739 --> 00:55:01.380
each Segment is like there's three blocks. They're

00:55:01.380 --> 00:55:04.539
$15 each or for 25 bucks You can just like see

00:55:04.539 --> 00:55:06.460
and spend the whole day there So it's a really

00:55:06.460 --> 00:55:08.159
good deal and you can get them at the door or

00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:10.179
the Syracuse International Film Fest website

00:55:10.179 --> 00:55:12.539
Awesome, you can google Syracuse International

00:55:12.539 --> 00:55:14.360
Film Fest and it'll take you right there and

00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:17.119
you can get them online I love this. I love this.

00:55:17.219 --> 00:55:21.179
It's this sounds so incredible. Yeah great movie

00:55:21.179 --> 00:55:25.019
lineup and You know, anytime you can go. I mean,

00:55:25.179 --> 00:55:26.780
honestly, 25 bucks for the whole day. I don't

00:55:26.780 --> 00:55:28.820
think you can go watch one movie at the mall

00:55:28.820 --> 00:55:33.480
for 25 bucks. No. No. I'm exes like 1850. Yeah,

00:55:33.480 --> 00:55:35.940
yeah. I gotta ask because, you know, I have friends

00:55:35.940 --> 00:55:39.099
that are into the horror genre. Yeah. And when

00:55:39.099 --> 00:55:40.880
you're, I don't know, when you're experiencing

00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:43.679
my experience, people who are in the horror genre,

00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:47.199
I mean, they are in. All in. Very passionate.

00:55:47.719 --> 00:55:50.980
And I am a gigantic wuss. And I saw The Exorcist

00:55:50.980 --> 00:55:53.500
when I was very young by accident. My babysitter

00:55:53.500 --> 00:55:55.519
had it on or something, and it ruined me. I was

00:55:55.519 --> 00:55:58.159
terrified. So I'm a giant wuss. I'm too afraid

00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:01.699
to watch horror films. I like suspense. But my

00:56:01.699 --> 00:56:04.940
question is, and I know it's subjective, but

00:56:04.940 --> 00:56:10.119
in the horror genre, what is it that drives you

00:56:10.119 --> 00:56:12.500
and that make the films and the people that watch

00:56:12.500 --> 00:56:16.929
them to these horror films? Is it the gore? Is

00:56:16.929 --> 00:56:21.449
it the story? Is it the jump scare aspect? What

00:56:21.449 --> 00:56:28.010
makes it so addicting? For me, when I was growing

00:56:28.010 --> 00:56:31.670
up, it was like my mom loved horror films. And

00:56:31.670 --> 00:56:34.809
so it's kind of like where you're raised if...

00:56:34.860 --> 00:56:37.099
If you're raised into that situation, you kind

00:56:37.099 --> 00:56:40.360
of like your mom's love and the passion of like

00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:42.800
the sci -fi horror stuff. She really liked the

00:56:42.800 --> 00:56:45.960
alien type of movies. And so it kind of rubs

00:56:45.960 --> 00:56:47.980
off on you. And then when you watch them, you

00:56:47.980 --> 00:56:50.719
get an appreciation of like, I kind of like watching,

00:56:50.920 --> 00:56:53.880
you know, I'm not really scared, but I am. And

00:56:53.880 --> 00:56:56.300
as long as I know that it's fake, then I'll be

00:56:56.300 --> 00:56:58.480
fine. I'm not going to have nightmares watching

00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:00.980
like a chest burster come out and blood squirting

00:57:00.980 --> 00:57:05.880
at everybody. And for me, And I would say for

00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:09.800
everybody else who are horror fans, they each

00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:12.860
have their own thing that drew them into it.

00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:15.019
Could be any one of those. It could be the gore

00:57:15.019 --> 00:57:17.539
aspect, because you got like, you know, gore

00:57:17.539 --> 00:57:20.820
porn, horror, like, Terrifier, you know, those

00:57:20.820 --> 00:57:24.159
other Ellie Roth movies. And that's like over

00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:26.920
the top. Sure. People like really love that over

00:57:26.920 --> 00:57:30.119
the top extreme violence. Yeah, yeah. Where...

00:57:30.159 --> 00:57:33.159
I'm not really necessarily into that, but I watch

00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:35.320
the movie just because it's practical effects

00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:37.019
and I want to see, you know, what things are,

00:57:37.139 --> 00:57:39.179
you know, what people are doing these days. Yeah.

00:57:39.480 --> 00:57:41.880
And the movies are entertaining, but it's nothing

00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:44.860
that I consider, like, my favorite. I'm more

00:57:44.860 --> 00:57:47.159
old school, zombie stuff, Donald the Dead and

00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:48.980
all you living dead stuff because it's spooky.

00:57:49.539 --> 00:57:52.320
Yeah. And then you kind of think that, you know,

00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:54.320
could this really happen? Right. And then you

00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:56.440
look on the streets and you see people all drugged

00:57:56.440 --> 00:57:59.219
out and they look like zombies. Right. Could

00:57:59.219 --> 00:58:02.179
that be that back then in 1968 or in Now You

00:58:02.179 --> 00:58:04.139
Let Me Die? Because these just people be all

00:58:04.139 --> 00:58:06.039
like mepped out and just like walk around like

00:58:06.039 --> 00:58:08.860
zombies and stuff. And then you start like really

00:58:08.860 --> 00:58:10.619
like going in that rabbit hole and then you're

00:58:10.619 --> 00:58:12.280
like looking around and then you're like, you

00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:14.440
know what? You know, there's space, you know,

00:58:14.500 --> 00:58:17.099
we're going to space now and then that's alien.

00:58:17.360 --> 00:58:19.139
Yeah. What are we going to find when we're out

00:58:19.139 --> 00:58:20.639
there? And it makes you really think you open

00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:22.880
your mind and then you really think about these

00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:24.699
things. Maybe I'm meant to love horror because

00:58:24.699 --> 00:58:28.579
I've always said my my favorite. movie plots

00:58:28.579 --> 00:58:33.000
or TV plots are obviously it's fiction but who's

00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:36.539
to say it can't happen or it's not real like

00:58:36.539 --> 00:58:39.260
like The Walking Dead like you know I love that

00:58:39.260 --> 00:58:42.000
stuff you know 28 Days Later is another one like

00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:43.539
that kind of stuff where it's like yeah okay

00:58:43.539 --> 00:58:46.280
it's fiction but maybe this could happen so maybe

00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:48.340
that's I meant to watch horror yeah you look

00:58:48.340 --> 00:58:51.250
at 28 Days Later it's a Rage Vires There's viruses.

00:58:51.530 --> 00:58:54.369
You never know. Oh, yeah. We could be lucky and

00:58:54.369 --> 00:58:56.909
or or, you know, there could be an asteroid that

00:58:56.909 --> 00:58:59.489
crashes and then there's a bacteria that, you

00:58:59.489 --> 00:59:01.650
know, kills the population and we have to deal

00:59:01.650 --> 00:59:03.710
with stuff. This this might be a hacky question

00:59:03.710 --> 00:59:07.010
to my last question. So because I'm not a horror

00:59:07.010 --> 00:59:11.389
fanatic, if you were to give me one or two, what

00:59:11.389 --> 00:59:13.550
is the Shawshank Redemption of horror movies

00:59:13.550 --> 00:59:16.510
where for you, you're like, this is the closest

00:59:16.510 --> 00:59:19.070
to perfect horror movie you could get like just

00:59:19.070 --> 00:59:22.230
a masterpiece? To me, Donald the Dead, George

00:59:22.230 --> 00:59:25.590
Romero, 1978. Awesome. And then Alien, 1979,

00:59:25.750 --> 00:59:28.010
Dan O 'Bannon. I actually did see Alien and it

00:59:28.010 --> 00:59:30.909
is phenomenal. What makes those better than all

00:59:30.909 --> 00:59:33.789
the other options? Because one, it ties everything

00:59:33.789 --> 00:59:35.869
in. Social commentary with Donald the Dead. You

00:59:35.869 --> 00:59:38.150
know, it's like there's politics on the side,

00:59:38.429 --> 00:59:41.309
but then it doesn't really go too deep because

00:59:41.309 --> 00:59:43.309
George Romero is like, you know, he always throws

00:59:43.309 --> 00:59:46.349
stuff in there politically. So if you're interested

00:59:46.349 --> 00:59:49.800
in like seeing like the The late 70s and like

00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:52.719
the scheme of like how things are on a political

00:59:52.719 --> 00:59:55.539
scale It's very subtle and plus it like deals

00:59:55.539 --> 00:59:57.960
with like how you get a group of people and now

00:59:57.960 --> 01:00:00.559
they have to spend all the time together and

01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:03.280
how they deal with like their little group of

01:00:03.280 --> 01:00:07.019
like four or five individuals and how you know

01:00:07.019 --> 01:00:10.380
and It's not all peaches and cream. It's a lot

01:00:10.380 --> 01:00:12.239
of conflict amongst them. And so who are the

01:00:12.239 --> 01:00:15.139
real heroes? Is it them, or is it the zombies?

01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:17.380
Because you don't see the zombies fighting amongst

01:00:17.380 --> 01:00:19.980
themselves. They see the human. Interesting.

01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:22.139
I got to see. Which is actually very fitting

01:00:22.139 --> 01:00:25.300
for today. Yeah. I mean, it still holds up. Yeah,

01:00:25.300 --> 01:00:27.079
and it's one of those movies where the effects

01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:29.820
were top notch back then. It was really awesome.

01:00:29.980 --> 01:00:32.539
Tom Savini did a great job with practical effects.

01:00:32.940 --> 01:00:34.920
And so that's a movie that you would want to

01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:37.400
watch just to say, hey, you know what? This is

01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:41.500
like a good, true horror film, and it's a classic.

01:00:41.659 --> 01:00:44.280
You know, it's Exorcist up there, but it's completely

01:00:44.280 --> 01:00:47.460
demonic possession. It could happen. Exactly.

01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:50.000
You got Silence of the Lambs based on a serial

01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:52.519
killer. It could happen, yeah. Texas Chainsaw

01:00:52.519 --> 01:00:56.300
Massacre, Adguin, you know, it's everything is

01:00:56.300 --> 01:00:58.599
a could -happens thing, you know, a terrifier.

01:00:58.699 --> 01:01:00.400
You got a killer clown. There could be really

01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:02.079
a killer clown out there. You're selling me.

01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:04.860
That's my whole mantra, like I said. I love that

01:01:04.860 --> 01:01:08.340
kind of stuff. I gotta ask you, what do you feel

01:01:08.340 --> 01:01:11.340
is the most overrated horror movie of all time?

01:01:11.380 --> 01:01:13.539
Good one, I was thinking about that. I would

01:01:13.539 --> 01:01:17.500
say some of the... Friday the 13th? No, they're

01:01:17.500 --> 01:01:20.760
not really overrated. Good, because I love those.

01:01:21.420 --> 01:01:24.559
Maybe the terrifying movies are great, but then

01:01:24.559 --> 01:01:27.239
they got kind of overrated. Like part three,

01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:29.940
I think there was a fatigue that set in. It's

01:01:29.940 --> 01:01:31.559
like one and two were like, oh my God. Then part

01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:34.159
three was just like, oh, we've seen this already

01:01:34.159 --> 01:01:38.010
in one and two. I think three was a little overrated

01:01:38.010 --> 01:01:41.269
because people were really stoked and then they

01:01:41.269 --> 01:01:43.090
realized it was basically the same movie that

01:01:43.090 --> 01:01:45.550
they watched over again. Just like Home Alone.

01:01:46.150 --> 01:01:48.989
Yeah, Home Alone 2. Home Alone 1 and 2 were great.

01:01:49.090 --> 01:01:51.130
Three? What the hell are we doing? What the hell

01:01:51.130 --> 01:01:54.150
are we doing? But I'm not saying that it's an

01:01:54.150 --> 01:01:56.829
overrated film. I'm just saying that it's more...

01:01:56.809 --> 01:01:59.190
a fatigue that sets it. You're talking about

01:01:59.190 --> 01:02:01.969
Friday the 13th? Well, not necessarily. Oh, Terrifier.

01:02:02.090 --> 01:02:04.550
Terrifier. Sorry, sorry, okay. And I wouldn't

01:02:04.550 --> 01:02:07.329
say, like, there is, like, a really overrated

01:02:07.329 --> 01:02:10.369
film of horror. I think it's more of a fatigue

01:02:10.369 --> 01:02:14.389
thing. You know, like, the genre goes through

01:02:14.389 --> 01:02:17.989
phases. 80s was all slasher films. And then they

01:02:17.989 --> 01:02:20.449
got to a point where you were just fatigued from

01:02:20.449 --> 01:02:22.090
watching slasher films. You just want to watch

01:02:22.090 --> 01:02:24.650
something different. And I think that's more

01:02:24.650 --> 01:02:26.570
or less what it is. It's not like an overreach.

01:02:26.630 --> 01:02:30.030
Great answer. Now with that in mind, you find,

01:02:30.250 --> 01:02:32.389
I feel like horror movies are the ones that have

01:02:32.389 --> 01:02:34.550
the longest series, right? You know, Friday the

01:02:34.550 --> 01:02:40.570
13th, part 406. You know, and all of these. How

01:02:40.570 --> 01:02:43.530
do they survive without getting that fatigue,

01:02:43.570 --> 01:02:47.000
that burnout? I think it's the character. So

01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:50.960
the first 513th was a woman, a mom, who was all

01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:53.059
mad that, you know, a bunch of campers, you know,

01:02:53.460 --> 01:02:57.480
a bunch of, you know, people ended up, you know,

01:02:57.519 --> 01:02:59.860
not keeping an eye on her son and he drowned.

01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:02.480
And then the part two was like the son. So you

01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:05.320
had Jason Voorhees, you know, growing up, killing

01:03:05.320 --> 01:03:07.960
off, like, you know, campers and whatever. And

01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:10.239
I think, like, at that point, you kind of start

01:03:10.239 --> 01:03:13.719
falling in love with, like, that bad guy. And

01:03:13.719 --> 01:03:17.480
that's where you get, like, your you're like,

01:03:17.579 --> 01:03:20.460
oh, this is cool. And so you're kind of curious

01:03:20.460 --> 01:03:23.400
to see where it goes. So Jason Voorhees, you

01:03:23.400 --> 01:03:26.780
create an icon for the horror community. And

01:03:26.780 --> 01:03:30.360
that icon actually stays because now I, when

01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:33.719
I grew up watching Jason, now my kid, you know,

01:03:33.719 --> 01:03:36.179
they're going to want a new Jason Voorhees. They

01:03:36.179 --> 01:03:38.980
want the, you just keep going. Same thing with

01:03:38.980 --> 01:03:40.820
Freddy Krueger, Robert England, you know, created

01:03:40.820 --> 01:03:43.920
the perfect character. And so you want to see

01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:46.889
him because he's funny, he's entertaining. and

01:03:46.889 --> 01:03:49.269
he's goofy and so you want to see all those movies

01:03:49.269 --> 01:03:51.309
because each story is somewhat different and

01:03:51.309 --> 01:03:54.130
whatever and it's more you're watching the character

01:03:54.130 --> 01:03:56.769
not necessarily the movie. You bring up a good

01:03:56.769 --> 01:04:00.929
point because it's like how do you make a psychotic

01:04:00.929 --> 01:04:04.730
slasher a protagonist in a film? You come up

01:04:04.730 --> 01:04:08.070
with a great backstory of why he's doing it and

01:04:08.070 --> 01:04:11.449
revenge and suddenly it becomes like You don't

01:04:11.449 --> 01:04:13.369
love the guy for killing people, but you're like,

01:04:13.690 --> 01:04:16.190
get why he's doing it, you know? Yeah. And that's

01:04:16.190 --> 01:04:18.969
a great answer. Yeah, that's a good call on that.

01:04:19.010 --> 01:04:20.530
Yeah, Jason Voorhees, you know, he's killing

01:04:20.530 --> 01:04:22.590
camp counselors because the camp's counselors

01:04:22.590 --> 01:04:24.909
were, like, too busy doing stuff with each other,

01:04:24.989 --> 01:04:27.130
you know? Like, naked and kissing, blah, blah,

01:04:27.250 --> 01:04:29.710
blah. And then you let the poor kid drown in

01:04:29.710 --> 01:04:33.550
the water. So then you... Jason hates camp counselors,

01:04:33.550 --> 01:04:35.670
right? That's who gets murdered, you know, there's

01:04:35.670 --> 01:04:38.389
other people but he focuses on the camp counselors

01:04:38.389 --> 01:04:40.389
because they thinks they're bad and they're evil

01:04:40.389 --> 01:04:42.210
and then you look at all the movies that were

01:04:42.210 --> 01:04:44.329
kind of like ripoffs of like Friday 13th like

01:04:44.329 --> 01:04:46.789
the burning was basically a ripoff of like the

01:04:46.789 --> 01:04:49.090
Friday 13th movie, but you know, they're all

01:04:49.090 --> 01:04:52.909
good and I think the 80s was the probably the

01:04:52.909 --> 01:04:56.690
best decade for like yeah horror films Yeah,

01:04:56.710 --> 01:05:00.199
it was definitely the heyday For sure. With that

01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:02.320
in mind, you're a guy who's obviously incredibly

01:05:02.320 --> 01:05:05.380
plugged in, both locally in the film scene as

01:05:05.380 --> 01:05:08.519
well as just everything that's happening. What's

01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:10.139
up and coming that people might not know about?

01:05:10.219 --> 01:05:12.400
Whether it's something that is being produced

01:05:12.400 --> 01:05:15.119
maybe in New York or just in the horror scene

01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:18.059
in general, if you're a fan, what can folks look

01:05:18.059 --> 01:05:20.400
forward to with films that are being made or

01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:23.309
being announced, things of that nature? So in

01:05:23.309 --> 01:05:27.889
2019, a movie was released by IOC Films, a film

01:05:27.889 --> 01:05:30.750
channel. It was called A Wretched, and it was

01:05:30.750 --> 01:05:34.449
made in Michigan. And it was the Pierce Brothers

01:05:34.449 --> 01:05:38.889
who directed the film. Their father was the effects

01:05:38.889 --> 01:05:42.670
guy for Evil Dead, the original from, you know,

01:05:42.769 --> 01:05:47.559
81. So... They're in town now shooting Wretched

01:05:47.559 --> 01:05:51.920
Part 2. So I did a couple days on set working

01:05:51.920 --> 01:05:55.039
with the generator operator setting stuff up.

01:05:55.500 --> 01:05:57.719
And I met the directors, the Pierce brothers.

01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:02.579
They're really cool. So they're in town. I don't

01:06:02.579 --> 01:06:06.239
think it's like... It's like common knowledge

01:06:06.239 --> 01:06:08.460
because you know, they're online talking about

01:06:08.460 --> 01:06:09.820
it But they're making the sequel the wretched

01:06:09.820 --> 01:06:11.840
and I would say the wretched is a pretty creepy

01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:14.119
film It did really good at the box office in

01:06:14.119 --> 01:06:18.360
2019. So watch that and then maybe we'll bring

01:06:18.360 --> 01:06:22.119
the sequel to Syracuse into a premiere Hey, so

01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:23.760
there's that and then there's always going to

01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:27.239
be like these film festivals like pop -up I work

01:06:27.239 --> 01:06:29.579
with a guy down in New Jersey. He'll bring up

01:06:29.579 --> 01:06:32.980
film principal do like the Cif Horror Fest or

01:06:32.980 --> 01:06:36.000
just Horror Fest or something. And recently I

01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:38.360
did this thing called Terorama where I found

01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:43.380
an online on Facebook, Groovy Doom posts these

01:06:43.380 --> 01:06:45.280
things. He's down in North Carolina. He'll take

01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:47.860
ads, newspaper clippings from the 80s of like,

01:06:47.860 --> 01:06:49.400
you know, the movies that were coming out in

01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:52.139
the newspaper. Oh, you know that. And so he posted

01:06:52.139 --> 01:06:55.880
one from this thing called Terorama, which was...

01:06:55.929 --> 01:06:59.650
House by the Cemetery, Gates of Hell, Superstition,

01:06:59.710 --> 01:07:03.949
and The Evil Dead. It was like four films playing

01:07:03.949 --> 01:07:05.550
at the Hollywood theater. It was like Hollywood

01:07:05.550 --> 01:07:07.250
theater. I'm like, oh, those movies. And I'm

01:07:07.250 --> 01:07:09.949
like, oh, that was, you know, Maddie Dell, like

01:07:09.949 --> 01:07:11.869
in 1985. I'm like, you know what? I'm going to

01:07:11.869 --> 01:07:15.570
do that. I had the ad converted to, you know,

01:07:15.670 --> 01:07:18.369
with today's information. But I took the same

01:07:18.369 --> 01:07:22.929
ad, same artwork, did the same lineup. We did

01:07:22.929 --> 01:07:24.929
that at the Palace not too long ago, and it was

01:07:24.929 --> 01:07:28.599
great. So there's I'll find something and I'll

01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:30.139
yeah, then I'll feel like you know I want to

01:07:30.139 --> 01:07:32.400
do that because I always wanted to do kind of

01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:35.239
like a spook -o -rama type of thing. Yeah And

01:07:35.239 --> 01:07:37.400
terram it was something that fell on my lap I

01:07:37.400 --> 01:07:40.599
saw Evil Dead the musical many years ago in a

01:07:40.599 --> 01:07:42.820
theater in Vegas. That was that was a good time

01:07:42.820 --> 01:07:45.380
man. Did you really? It's like kind of mixed

01:07:45.380 --> 01:07:47.960
down. There's like the Evil Dead Broadway show

01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:51.099
that's going on or something like that and I

01:07:51.099 --> 01:07:53.539
guess it's not really selling well. I don't know

01:07:53.539 --> 01:07:59.590
why But I did think, I did see the musical, and

01:07:59.590 --> 01:08:03.429
when it was, I think it was in Rochester, when

01:08:03.429 --> 01:08:06.269
it came out, The Evil Dead. It was alright. I

01:08:06.269 --> 01:08:08.230
just remembered, there was another reason why

01:08:08.230 --> 01:08:10.190
I don't think I don't watch horror films is,

01:08:10.670 --> 01:08:14.150
I just remembered, I watched Freddy vs. Jason,

01:08:15.769 --> 01:08:17.449
and there was the only, one of the only times

01:08:17.449 --> 01:08:19.210
I vomited during a movie, I was at my friend's

01:08:19.210 --> 01:08:23.449
house, and he eats somebody's heart. Like, literally,

01:08:23.850 --> 01:08:27.819
like, eats their heart, and... And I just, I

01:08:27.819 --> 01:08:29.319
remember running to the bathroom and vomiting,

01:08:29.680 --> 01:08:33.340
and it's all coming back to me. So, in the Temple

01:08:33.340 --> 01:08:35.640
of Doom... Like, stick to Care Bears. Oh, Temple

01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:37.479
of Doom? Wait, took the heart out? Did you vomit?

01:08:37.479 --> 01:08:40.220
Golly, ma, shook dee day. No, I didn't vomit,

01:08:40.279 --> 01:08:42.399
but I was very, I remember being very terrorized

01:08:42.399 --> 01:08:45.000
by that. Although, when they're eating dinner

01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:47.840
with, wherever they were, it's been so long,

01:08:48.220 --> 01:08:51.460
same movie. In India. In India, and they eat

01:08:51.460 --> 01:08:54.500
snake. That almost made me vomit. So I think

01:08:54.500 --> 01:08:56.600
it's more about me than the film. That was a

01:08:56.600 --> 01:09:00.380
PG -13 movie. It was it? Yeah. I mean, that's

01:09:00.380 --> 01:09:02.920
like right on the cusp of like when PG -13 first

01:09:02.920 --> 01:09:05.479
came out. I'm like, I vomited during fun gully.

01:09:06.619 --> 01:09:09.039
That was really when she jumped through the air.

01:09:09.619 --> 01:09:13.260
I don't know. For a few good men. You don't want

01:09:13.260 --> 01:09:16.640
me on set. For a few good men. You can't handle

01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:19.800
the truth. I could pick on Mike all day long

01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:23.899
here, but it's very easy. Jeff before we go let's

01:09:23.899 --> 01:09:27.119
one more time give folks the all the just the

01:09:27.119 --> 01:09:30.159
key details the date time Website for tickets.

01:09:30.159 --> 01:09:33.520
Yes. So this Saturday at the Palace Theatre starting

01:09:33.520 --> 01:09:36.859
at five o 'clock We're doing a horror short from

01:09:36.859 --> 01:09:40.500
Puerto Rico called Al Jocko Followed by a feature

01:09:40.500 --> 01:09:44.060
horror film shot in Ithaca called jacked We're

01:09:44.060 --> 01:09:46.960
gonna have the director DP and the two main leads

01:09:46.960 --> 01:09:52.279
there for that We have after that is a 35 millimeter

01:09:52.279 --> 01:09:55.319
print of American Psycho with the screenwriter,

01:09:55.500 --> 01:09:58.279
Guinevere Turner, and she's gonna be there doing

01:09:58.279 --> 01:10:01.199
a Q &A, which is gonna be moderated by a local

01:10:01.199 --> 01:10:05.479
film author, or a local novelist called Tommy

01:10:05.479 --> 01:10:09.159
Clark. He's a... internationally known, grew

01:10:09.159 --> 01:10:11.600
up in Syracuse, still lives here, and he makes

01:10:11.600 --> 01:10:13.479
all these horror novels that do pretty good.

01:10:13.800 --> 01:10:16.399
So he'll be there moderating the Q &As. Then

01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:19.600
after that, we have a really controversial film

01:10:19.600 --> 01:10:24.800
called Just Kids that deals with transitioning

01:10:24.800 --> 01:10:27.840
from men to girls or girls to guys, or however

01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:30.140
you want to do it. And it's like, if you want

01:10:30.140 --> 01:10:33.829
to really learn more about the content... It

01:10:33.829 --> 01:10:36.529
doesn't matter if you're a Republican or a Democrat,

01:10:36.710 --> 01:10:40.390
if you need to learn about something that you

01:10:40.390 --> 01:10:42.510
may disagree with or agree with, I will watch

01:10:42.510 --> 01:10:44.689
this movie and educate yourself on it. Well said,

01:10:44.890 --> 01:10:49.130
man. And then you can see all four of them, or

01:10:49.130 --> 01:10:51.430
those three blocks, each block is broken down

01:10:51.430 --> 01:10:55.859
into, like the first two is one block. Psycho's

01:10:55.859 --> 01:10:58.420
a block, and then Just Kids is a block. So those

01:10:58.420 --> 01:11:01.579
are $15 each. But if you want to just come for

01:11:01.579 --> 01:11:04.359
everything, it's 25 bucks. And then you can get

01:11:04.359 --> 01:11:06.319
the tickets through the Syracuse National Film

01:11:06.319 --> 01:11:09.659
Festival website, which you can just Google it,

01:11:09.659 --> 01:11:12.359
and it will pop up. And anything you want to

01:11:12.359 --> 01:11:15.680
know will pop up. If folks want to come to the

01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:18.399
second or third movie, about what time do they

01:11:18.399 --> 01:11:23.319
start? So the first two is 5, and then about...

01:11:23.399 --> 01:11:27.300
Two and a half hours later will be so I would

01:11:27.300 --> 01:11:29.560
say about seven thirty eight o 'clock will be

01:11:29.560 --> 01:11:32.479
American Psycho and then probably like ten o

01:11:32.479 --> 01:11:35.560
'clock ten thirty will be just kids and There's

01:11:35.560 --> 01:11:37.699
there's snacks and drinks and all kinds of cool

01:11:37.699 --> 01:11:39.899
things like that at the palace to enjoy during

01:11:39.899 --> 01:11:43.899
the year Yes, is have a nice IPA selection. Oh

01:11:43.899 --> 01:11:46.880
my last question Halloween's coming up is is

01:11:46.880 --> 01:11:49.300
it fair to say that Halloween is kind of the

01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:53.500
the Super Bowl for anyone in horror films, whether

01:11:53.500 --> 01:11:55.819
they're fans or filmmakers, or is that kind of

01:11:55.819 --> 01:11:58.840
a myth? No, you're absolutely right. It's not

01:11:58.840 --> 01:12:02.859
a myth because Halloween is based around basically,

01:12:02.859 --> 01:12:05.039
you know, a pagan ritual or whatever. I'm not

01:12:05.039 --> 01:12:07.460
too, you know, hip on the whole thing. I think

01:12:07.460 --> 01:12:09.899
Halloween is like an opportunity to wear a mask

01:12:09.899 --> 01:12:12.619
and have some fun and watch the horror films

01:12:12.619 --> 01:12:16.060
and decorate. and now I have kids and it's really

01:12:16.060 --> 01:12:18.000
fun taking them out trick -or -treating. But

01:12:18.000 --> 01:12:20.859
for me growing up and Halloween was with Michael

01:12:20.859 --> 01:12:24.319
Myers. And what better way to spend Halloween

01:12:24.319 --> 01:12:27.640
and we're gonna show the original Halloween on

01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:31.739
35 millimeter at the Palace on the 24th, the

01:12:31.739 --> 01:12:35.359
Saturday, the 24th or whatever that day is. But

01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:38.060
it's just one night only, original film print

01:12:38.060 --> 01:12:42.130
of... Wow. Michael Myers, the original Halloween.

01:12:42.149 --> 01:12:44.909
It's the 25th of Saturday, 24th is a Friday.

01:12:45.050 --> 01:12:47.409
Yeah, so The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a great

01:12:47.409 --> 01:12:49.989
movie to watch during the holiday season if you

01:12:49.989 --> 01:12:53.569
just want to get like shit -faced drunk, have

01:12:53.569 --> 01:12:56.550
a blast with dancing on stage and have a good

01:12:56.550 --> 01:12:59.930
time. You know, debauchery, everything you can

01:12:59.930 --> 01:13:01.810
think of happens at a Rocky Horror Picture Show.

01:13:02.130 --> 01:13:04.710
Like, the things you see in the corners of the

01:13:04.710 --> 01:13:05.970
palace are really awesome. I've heard. You know

01:13:05.970 --> 01:13:07.609
how I said I got married at the palace? Yes,

01:13:07.609 --> 01:13:11.130
I do. I got married the day after Rocky. Don't

01:13:11.130 --> 01:13:13.470
they throw stuff like cinnamon sugar toast or

01:13:13.470 --> 01:13:16.090
something? They had the event the night before,

01:13:16.329 --> 01:13:18.630
and they had to clean the entire place from head

01:13:18.630 --> 01:13:20.569
to toe. It was crazy for us to come in to have

01:13:20.569 --> 01:13:22.130
a whole wedding there. It was wild. Yeah, because

01:13:22.130 --> 01:13:24.449
you got bread, you got rice, you got hot dogs.

01:13:25.390 --> 01:13:26.789
Everything you think of is just so much fun.

01:13:26.810 --> 01:13:28.189
It's not like a regular show where they got to

01:13:28.189 --> 01:13:30.510
sweep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to mop, and

01:13:30.510 --> 01:13:32.710
then vomit, because people get really shit -faced

01:13:32.710 --> 01:13:36.449
drunk here, and it's fun. Yeah, so that's the

01:13:36.449 --> 01:13:39.310
Friday and then Saturday. You really need to

01:13:39.310 --> 01:13:41.880
see how... on the big screen on film. That sounds

01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:44.279
awesome. It's kind of an original print so it's

01:13:44.279 --> 01:13:46.699
a little beat up. That makes it cooler. Oh yeah,

01:13:46.819 --> 01:13:50.479
because the funny thing with film is as it ages,

01:13:51.579 --> 01:13:55.939
certain film quality fades. Sure. So when you

01:13:55.939 --> 01:14:00.460
see something like 1969 in technicolor or color

01:14:00.460 --> 01:14:02.359
or whatever, it looks great, but now you see

01:14:02.359 --> 01:14:05.600
it's like pink. Yeah. But it adds charm, but

01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:09.199
then Kodak. Created a film quality Eastman Kodak,

01:14:09.260 --> 01:14:11.579
which like stood the test of time and then the

01:14:11.579 --> 01:14:14.899
color stays so Rochester, New York shot out And

01:14:14.899 --> 01:14:18.520
so anything if you're a film collector Look for

01:14:18.520 --> 01:14:20.979
Eastman Kodak color film because that stays and

01:14:20.979 --> 01:14:22.779
then you don't have to worry about 40 years from

01:14:22.779 --> 01:14:26.119
now Watching a pink print. This is awesome, man

01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:28.859
Jeff Meyer, you got to come back now. We're up

01:14:28.859 --> 01:14:30.640
and rolling again So you got to be a regular

01:14:30.640 --> 01:14:32.300
visitor and tell us about all the enjoyed this

01:14:32.300 --> 01:14:34.079
man All the cool things happening all over. Oh,

01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:36.350
I love I love Talking, you know, we can I can

01:14:36.350 --> 01:14:38.869
have a whole conversation about comic books and

01:14:38.869 --> 01:14:42.029
collecting toys movie posters See, you know,

01:14:42.029 --> 01:14:43.729
it's amazing this guy's own show. I was gonna

01:14:43.729 --> 01:14:46.130
say yeah I think we need a Jeff Meyer show. That's

01:14:46.130 --> 01:14:49.840
it. That's it But appreciate this. You guys are

01:14:49.840 --> 01:14:52.300
awesome. Matt, it's been a long time, and I totally

01:14:52.300 --> 01:14:54.779
appreciate you having me on the show. Same with

01:14:54.779 --> 01:14:57.619
you. Anytime. I had a blast talking. I could

01:14:57.619 --> 01:14:59.920
do this all day with you. I could ramble on about

01:14:59.920 --> 01:15:02.979
everything. I know. That's why we do it. That's

01:15:02.979 --> 01:15:04.659
what the podcast is all about. That's right.

01:15:04.779 --> 01:15:07.380
Let people dig in deep beyond just a commercial

01:15:07.380 --> 01:15:10.140
or something. These guys, Grindhouse, they're

01:15:10.140 --> 01:15:14.020
awesome. They are a repertory archival place

01:15:14.020 --> 01:15:16.800
where they released and got the licensing for

01:15:16.800 --> 01:15:20.170
Evil Dead. So I use them a lot for finding, like,

01:15:20.250 --> 01:15:22.390
gory movies. They own the rights to, like, Campbell

01:15:22.390 --> 01:15:25.329
Holocaust, Make Them Die Slowly, and The Gates

01:15:25.329 --> 01:15:29.869
of Hell. And Bob Moravsky is a guy that owns

01:15:29.869 --> 01:15:32.869
it with Sage Stallone before he passed away.

01:15:32.970 --> 01:15:35.710
So Bob won an Academy Award for film editing

01:15:35.710 --> 01:15:38.590
for The Hurt Locker. So these guys are legit

01:15:38.590 --> 01:15:41.069
that run this company. Grindhouse releasing.

01:15:41.210 --> 01:15:43.069
I'm just throwing a plug out there because I've

01:15:43.069 --> 01:15:44.670
written a lot of movies from them. Awesome. I

01:15:44.670 --> 01:15:48.600
love that, man. Jeff. Thank you again. Mike,

01:15:48.720 --> 01:15:50.939

01:15:50.939 --> 01:15:51.819
you. Love you. Thanks, buddy. Love you. Thanks

01:15:51.819 --> 01:15:56.300
for coming back to work. Yeah, of course. Danny,

01:15:56.619 --> 01:15:58.579
as always, thanks for running the board, my friend.

01:15:58.600 --> 01:16:00.239

01:16:00.239 --> 01:16:03.380

01:16:03.460 --> 01:16:05.920
