@leonardmaltin @jessiemaltin Hi Leonard! I’ve just drawn these as the start of a three-Universal-monster set (Dracula is next), and I wanted to show them to you. I thought you’d like to see em.

I also wanted to thank you for answering my question about The Seven Samurai on a Sunday afternoon movie talk a few years ago. It was a big thrill! ☺️ I hope you’re doing well, John Stevens

Ep 35 is our first on L&H's talkies and there is so much to discuss. My audio essay was too long to include in the standard episode, so I had to cut it down by about 8 mins. I've posted the uncut version on my Patreon page. patreon.com/posts/unaccustom…

@realbdw I finished your book last night 👏🏻 Thanks so much - what a marvelous experience I had reading it! Really a pleasure! I was glad to learn so much about your life & to agree so often with your outlook on things I was actually out walking, listening to the Empire Strikes

Back Radio Drama on my phone, when I saw your book on the shelf and picked it up A great coincidence! Do you have any special memories of recording that? Thanks again, and Chandelier all the way! 🤩

Inspired by @gralefrit & @Andr6wMale & @HardyBlog, this morning I dusted off the tie I found at @landhmuseum in 1995 when I was 17 and have not worn enough since

@HardyBlog Hello! I’ve just discovered your podcast & am going through each movie one at a time as I listen to each episode - very enjoyable to listen to so far! I have a question that you or one of your colleagues might be able to answer: what role does Babe Hardy play in

the Buster Keaton feature Three Ages? I’ve read more than once that he’s in it, but I’ve never spotted him. I assume it’s a background character. Just wanted to know if anyone can identify him in the movie! Thanks! And I’m looking forward to more of your show!

@comfortblankpod I had 2 excellent walks listening to the L&H eps - I haven’t watched any L&H for decades but now I want to again My dad taped their silents for us to watch when I was 7-8 (‘85-‘86) and I remember him trying to explain what their voices sounded like

before I could hear them for myself, when the talkies were broadcast (about 3:30 am) the next year We went to the @landhmuseum in 1995 and had a marvellous time It was really great listening to you guys talk about this stuff - it turned two bad days around

@flea333 I’ve been listening to your podcast episodes out of order & got to my 4th this morning: Patti Smith I’ve played guitar since 1995 & have never felt like I was much of a musician because I haven’t progressed at hyperspeed & I really just play for myself

But after listening to that episode, I feel like Hey, I am a musician - I play guitar! Almost brings tears I feel like I’m part of the family of musicians & that’s a good place to be 😃 Thanks, man 👌🏻

Delighted to announce a BONUS episode of the podcast in which I speak to editor @Michael_Harte about the new documentary "Still: A Michael J Fox Movie". The film is raw, funny, emotional, truthful, powerful and inspiring. Check it out. spreaker.com/episode/5383275… @AppleTV #STILL

@PaulReiser Hi Paul! I just finished Familyhood! My grandma read it a few years ago & liked it & passed it on to me She thought it’d amuse me because I also have two sons and she thought it was just funny anyway She was right!

She died at 96 in 2021, and I thought I should get around to reading it because I told her I would one day Anyway, she would’ve been happy to know your book entertained me - she got a kick out of it too ☺️ Thanks!

@DavidWCollins Thanks for these 3 fantastic ET episodes! I listened to them all (as I usually do) while riding my bike - extra appropriate now! When you mentioned perfect 5ths this time, I hummed one, & a repeat of the higher note came out of me - something was familiar!

I realized that’s the start of the intro to Amazing Stories! I can’t remember if you’ve mentioned that theme in any episodes before, but I thought I’d say it today! Thanks again for the show and the nostalgia 👌🏻
