I'm Bill Curtis.

We are playing this week with Roxanne Roberts, Hari Kondabolu, and Mo Rocca.

And here again is your host at the Studebaker Theater in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal.

15-year-old Billy Robinson of Middletown, Connecticut was sick of watching movies.

Quote, why are we watching other people have adventures for entertainment when we could be having them ourselves?

If you assumed young Billy was inspired to leave the house and have new life experiences, you would be wrong.

No, Billy decided to make the movies more interesting by editing himself into them.

Ever wonder why Jack drowned instead of getting on the door with Rose in Titanic?

Now we know there wasn't enough room because Billy was lying on there too.

Did Han shoot Greedo first in Star Wars?

Nope, it was Billy.

Or how about Billy's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory where he plays all the Oompa Loompas?

According to the owner of the Brunswick Theater, people keep calling to ask if we have the Billy version of The Devil Wears Prada 2.

They don't want the normal one.

Billy said, I've always felt that Meryl Streep was overrated and now I can prove it.

In Middletown, Connecticut.

We're the 10th longest running show of all time.

It feels good.

I would never put myself in his rarefied air.
