And I mean, you think of anybody who's producing anything, they're going to produce work that reflects what is important to them.

Yeah, I was thinking about, you know, when you talk about traditional vampires, for them, people are like energy drinks, aren't they?

They're like, I'll crack a monster up and then I'll drink that and then move on untouched by it.

Whereas your creature,

It's a bit deeper than that.

It's not just an energy drink that you throw the can away in the park.

Whatever it is becomes part of whatever evolution this thing is involved in.

So talking about you, what do you consume in terms of books, films, graphic novels, whatever?

There's a lot of things you've talked about that we could talk about, but for some reason I've been going towards Tolkien recently, these past couple of weeks, and I was thinking of listening to the BBC adaptation from either 79 or 80 or something like that.

That's great.

I think, do they cut the Tom Bombadil bit out?

Because, of course, the movie's cut Tom Bombadil out as well.

And I love Tom Bombadil.

You know the Rings of Power that Amazon did?

I did really try and watch that.

I watched the first series, and Tom Bombadil appears in that, doesn't he?

But I lost interest in it.

It just didn't carry me at all, so I haven't watched the rest of it.

Yeah, The Phantom Coach is interesting, going back to that, because we could probably talk about this for three or four hours, all the different stuff we've mentioned.

but um the the thing about that that that wizard in the house in the snow on the moors there you don't even need that for the story if you if you cut that whole bit out the story would pretty much function man gets lost on snowy moors gets a lift in a coach turns out no spoilers but you know um but probably people can guess so um yeah but but yeah what is who is he he's some kind of megasaur um
