The most random connection in the universe- I listen to the My Brother, My Brother, and Me and they just dropped a live episode they recorded in that Pantages theater not too long ago. The staff showing them around mentioned a ton of ghosts there… wonder if Pinto’s one of them? 👀🤡
Lol thank you. uploading this was a tough decision. I got the advice to split this into 3 or 4 videos because it would be more likely to get engagement with the algorithm. At the same time though, I did an editing thing where I subtly made each shot warmer than the last, which only works here. when all the videos are played back to back. That's why this has the reupload, I shadow released this one shortly after the 4th sound was pushed, incase anyone wanted to see the original edit.
I’m gonna keep adding comments for the sake of the algorithm even though I sound like a broken record going “this is awesome, your humor is literally exactly what I’m always looking for, this history is so interesting!”
very cool in depth video! with all the modernization it's hard to appreciate the tediousness and risks early forays into any field meant! this will help me appreciate the beauty of these old films more
The Queen has no arc in the original fairy tale. Walt made her like the film itself an allegory for the Great Depression & a symbol for 1930s audiences. She’s now a self destructive prototype femme fatale. Her decision to legit turn into an old hag forces her to make the ultimate sacrifice to gain her beauty back & ends up doing her in.
Duress (noun) threats, violence, constraints, or other action brought to bear on someone to do something against their will or better judgment. "confessions extracted under duress"
Haha, yeah that's valid. What I meant was I wasn't sure why/how Paul Terry was under duress. It's a job that Terry was good at, I'm curious as to the circumstances of that duress. Was it a physical threat? Finical threat? Did he not want the job? If not, why? Those two words on Wikipedia raised so many questions and I have no answers lol
This was the original edit, I was advised to split them into 4 parts so it'd be more digestible. I figured I'd upload the og edit too, but not promote it as hard as the other ones, since it is all old info. The bigger thing is setting up the heat stroke at the end works better this way. There's a warm filter that slowly grows throughout the video that's less noticeable in the cuts.
Dude, that was really well done! I am sitting here smiling because I know some of the stuff you've said before and I see it in your work. Look forward to seeing more!

Loved this Russ ! A huge lot of research must have gone into this. Research and details can often get boring. Yet this one is presented in a most interesting fashion !👏👏👏
