Steve HallGUEST
So this was a mystery that was solved for me fairly recently.
Steve HallGUEST
I'd had this one dream, but I didn't really remember it until I watched the film, The Black Hole.
Steve HallGUEST
Oh,
John RainHOST

Steve HallGUEST
From like 1980.
Steve HallGUEST
And there's a bit at the end of The Black Hole, it's kind of completely incongruous to the rest of the film where the villain...
Steve HallGUEST
There's just a brief shot of him essentially in hell.
Steve HallGUEST
He's in this hellish fire escape.
The Oldest NerdHOST
three names.
Professor OHOST
right that's what it is harry dean stanton but yeah that's exactly that but the uh the the novelization it reminded us another film we did the black hole um yeah he did the uh he did the novelization for the black hole and that is an interesting hybrid experience i'll bet yeah But yeah, he's prolific at those novelizations.
Professor OHOST
But it's a really fun film.
Professor OHOST
Was there another actor that we kind of missed? Oh, one actor I wanted to ask you about.

Professor OHOST
There were a lot of practical effects,
The Oldest NerdHOST

The Oldest NerdHOST
I'm thinking it was kind of like in the Black Hole where much of that was CG.
The Oldest NerdHOST
Yeah.

HeathPANELIST
No.
MaxHOST
And it's not lost in space, but they're out in space.
MaxHOST
And I will never forget at the end, some kind of like black hole sucks in and the villain is a captain or whatever on the spaceship.

Tron.

Yeah, don't get me wrong by calling it dark Disney that it sucked.
Jim SmithGUEST
Or it's more upset them, I guess, than scared them.
Jim SmithGUEST
But the only live action movie I could think of that had like that was legitimately had kind of some scary aspects was The Black Hole.
Jim SmithGUEST
That is one that I made myself watch.
Jim SmithGUEST
And it's, you know, just it had this like really tall red robot named Maximilian that I don't think I don't think it talked.
