And Stephen, welcome to our two hundred and fiftieth uh U. There we go. What a what a land. What a milestone. Two hundred and fifty. We've been doing this for five years. I didn't realise there was two hundred and fifty movies. I think there's is this five or six years old. It was a COVID creation. So it's six years old. Incredible. Unbelievable. Uh today we are our movie we're covering is The Long Kiss Good Night.
Now just a little warning, there is some explicit language in this one. They got one for the kitties. Not one for the kitties. Now, this was directed by Rennie Harlan, who I'll tell you right up front, is married to Gina Davis. Oh. Gina Davis, the star of the movie, and Rennie Harlan, husband and wife. Wow. Okay. Still?

So that was Shane Black. I thought, yeah, you know what, th it probably affected the box office. I think he's full of it. Yeah. Do people really go to movies based on I guess well leaving aside Christopher Nolan I and Quinty Tarantino, I think there's some big names that I don't know that Rennie Harlan has that much pull.
Mate, at the time he was a big director. Okay. Massive director. Shane Black. Sold the script. For four million dollars. Jesus, can we roll script, please? And he uh c a lot of envy among other writers. Uh he was said, Oh, you go on commercial, you're a sellout and he voluntarily retired. He said, I'm gonna take the next ten years off. Wow.
