Ghost Rider

So where did that take you after that? So then after that, then that sort of,

took me onto a number of other films, again, big American films in Australia out of Ghost Rider.

And we shot in Melbourne with Nicolas Cage and lovely director Mark Steven Johnson directed that with Russell Boyd was the cinematographer.

So I did that the year after, which was incredible experience as well.

It was not in the pod.

But the other one was Ghost Rider.

Ghost Rider.

Oh,

yeah.

So you always miss a little bit of both of them.

So Real Steel is one of those movies.

Ghost Rider is one of those movies.

Jet, cone, and shower.

What's the connection between those three things? Find out at the end of the episode along with a fact of the day about the movie Ghost Rider and Nicolas Cage from 2007.

Wow, that movie's 19 years old? Holy smokes.

All right, we're all warmed up, we're ready, and we're jumping into general knowledge trivia.

No ads for you.

That's at patreon.com slash trivia with buds.

Your fact of the day for today in the movie Ghost Rider from 07, the base model for the Ghost Rider's flaming skull was derived from 3D x-ray scans of Nicolas Cage's skull.

That's kind of fun.

[laughs]

But so the thing, there is a connection to this movie and another Marvel movie because in the supernatural world, in this world of the Midnight Suns, right, like Blade kinda came back in the '90s 'cause he appeared in Ghost Rider comics, right? And we get Ghost Rider several years later, right, with Nicolas Cage, but Donald Logue is in that, too.

[laughs]

And he is Johnny Blaze's sidekick buddy.

We don't have any ads on Patreon.

We can't get paid for that, Pete.

Yeah, I'd love to see some of those characters brought in, you know? Um, they have, like, uh, uh, Nico from Runaways and, um, you know, Ghost Rider, and they've got a bunch of characters that'd be, like, a lot of fun to see brought together on the screen.

And I read the, uh, Midnight Suns, um, comics that they had out this last year, and that tied in with, um, Strange Academy, which is like a whole other [laughs] sort of thing where Blade is now a teacher, you know? [laughs] Like, who thought that he'd have the, uh, the, the sort of mentality to go and do some teaching? But yeah, I think they could do some really fun stuff with some of those characters tied in.

Multiverse, anything can happen.

Ghost Rider 2007.

You know what?

No, no.

TV show.

a movie, any other project that's out there.

If all three of us were a part of that experience or seen that project, we will talk about that as our only spoiler alert.

But the topic of today is black creators.

It's a major

difference.

Especially in movies, too.

Oh,
