I do.

I went and saw it today at the 1 o'clock showing at Park Place Cinemas in downtown Charleston, West Virginia.

So understanding that, how did you start to think about how you wanted prime time to look and sound?

Well, I think, you know, some of the sort of spiritual DNA came from this cameo video that my wife bought me, actually, right when Spermworld came out.

And Chris Hansen, it's before I ever knew the script existed, before I met Rob Pattinson.

Chris Hansen made me this cameo.

He asked me to have a seat.

He said, you know, congratulations on the release of your film Spermworld.

I see it has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Lance Oppenheim.

There's another one about sperm, so you should also check that one out.

Yeah, I, I watched that one this weekend, Sperm World, that, uh, Lance, uh, Oppenheimer ma- also made.

Um, but yeah, uh, L- Liz, I've ...

So when I, I visited The Villages for a feature for Reason Magazine, and one of my, uh, exercises was I just asked every single person I encountered if they had seen Some Kind of Heaven, and they all-

It's much more interested in the mechanisms of the show, which is that, oh, okay, justice is not served or, you know, there's a performance and theatricality to it, but it never questions the... or never fundamentally to me questions the the methods of entrapment or the idea that um these people can have the ability to be or there's any room for moral rehabilitation or what are these and that to me comes out in the final case because they juxtapose what this person says is what this person does again we'll get there but um So to me, it's a mile wide and an inch deep is the easiest way for me to describe what primetime goes for.

And I saw Oppenheim's one other documentary, which is called Spermworld.

And that to me was also entirely uninteresting because he approached these three caricatures in that.

And that's about artificial insemination and sperm donation.

But with that, let's get into primetime.

So Lance Oppenheim, best known for films like Ren Faire, Sperm World, some kind of heaven.

Lance Oppenheim is making his narrative feature debut this past week with primetime.

We have a screenplay here by, I don't know how to pronounce his name exactly,
