The scene with Dark Helmet playing with his dolls wasn't scripted. It was envisioned by Mel Brooks and improvised by Rick Moranis. #Spaceballs

I'm covering a series of Star Wars movies this month and, along with that, it seems that the oft forgotten gem: #HardwareWars should be recognized! May the Farce be with you!!!

We've reached 200 EPISODES!!! Huge thanks to Rod & Karen from TBGWT!
By the way, George Lucas showed an early cut of #StarWars to his director friends. All of them, including Brian De Palma predicted failure. Only Stephen Spielberg thought that it would blow the doors off the box office!

Producer Dino De Laurentiis hated the werewolf design, but he was overruled by director Daniel Attias and writer Stephen King.King's. #SilverBullet is a great entry point for the wee tikes just getting into horror!

#ChristopherWalken at cloves of raw garlic before he walked on the set. He didn't say why, but it is suspected that he did it to make his co-stars uncomfortable. He's playing the rebellious Angel of Death in the 1995 cult classic #TheProphecy after all.

One of the things that I forgot to mention when I recorded this episode was the fantastic musical score by Danny Elfman. Without exaggeration I believe that the #Beetlejuice soundtrack was one of the best compositions of music for a film ever written and performed!

I hard lined, like, five episodes in a row to get caught up . . . I was not emotionally ok for about three hours. I was fine by the time we started recording, and I had a ball!

The raptors in #JurassicPark were not accurate because, at the start of filming, there were no known velociraptors that were as large as the ones featured in the film. During filming, a new 10 ft. tall species was discovered in Utah: the utahraptor.
