Right Angle: Backstage [07/16/19]

Scott Ott is so caught up in Bill Whittle’s new Apollo 11 series, that he very nearly misses this pre-production meeting so he can binge watch it. Meanwhile, Stephen Green is champing at the bit to talk about James Bond movies. We welcome new Members at BillWhittle.com to this goat rodeo that resembles a “show” only in the most derivative and tangential sort of way.

Bill,

The 5 REM limit is over the course of a year. The locution was, one was “blown out” once they reached the limit until the following year. Biology cleans itself over the course of time. Some half-lives are too long to rely on nuclear decomposition.

My standard answer when I try to address a production problem and the people say, “This is the way we’ve always done it” is “That just means you’ve always done it incorrectly”

This is unrelated to any topic in the video. But, I have a suggestion. You should add the (YouTube) Esoteric Radio Theater Channel as another channel under the “Channels” tab in the main (YouTube) Bill Whittle Channel, and then in reverse, add the Bill Whittle channel to the new Esoteric Radio Theater channel??? yes/no??

Prove to the naysayers that space travel including the moon happened, try this. Send all of them to the Sun! What? Too hot? No problem, you send them at night!

I discovered Owen Benjamin last year. He is a really interesting blacklisted from Hollywood comedian. Then one day he started saying that we never went to the moon. That it is a total government hoax. He said broadcasting from the moon would have been impossible. End of argument. And the Apollo capsule is made of aluminum. It would have MELTED!!! When he sticks to man/woman relationships of music he is awesome.

How can intelligent people be so proudly, willfully, ignorant?!?!

I love how you stress on Apollo 11 – What we saw how we didn’t get there immediately but by little bitty increments. Every time the Russians beat us to a milestone was a kick in the gut. My whole grade school would squeeze into the cafeteria to watch each launch on two B&W TVs. All of us counting down from ten.

I can almost feel for the “Hampster” girl; for the longest time as a kid, I thought chaos was spelled “KAOS” from Get Smart episodes. But I was smart enough, at least, to listen to my teacher when she corrected me…

Please repost the link to the British comedy show where the moon landing conspirators conclude that the cheapest way to fake the moon landing was to send the whole film crew and actors to the moon. I loved that one!

The “quote” was not Reagan or Will Rodgers. It was Mark Twain. I have known this all my life and don’t need a stinking connotation. The great social commentator that died in a float plane in Alaska spelled his name with a D among his friends.

I heard the other day that James Bond is retiring and the new 007 will be female.

So they really are getting rid of James Bond and this will kill another franchise. Albeit, one that I haven’t really enjoyed since Sean Connery. Though, Pierce wasn’t bad.
Those two are my wife’s favorites.
She puts up with Brosnan’s bad singing to watch Mama Mia frequently. When I mention he can’t sing, she says who cares he’s beautiful.
Yea, only men are sexist.

I’ve read that she’s not going to be the new James Bond, but just the new 007. Like Bond passes on the number. That’s what I’ve heard.

Scott, I was shopping in the grocery section of Target when I overheard two teenage girls talking. One girl was saying how the 50th anniversary of the moon landing was coming up.

The other girl said, “Yeah, if it happened.” Her tone led me to believe she didn’t think it happened at all.

The deniers are more prevalent than you think.

And the teacher in you refrained from correcting her “knowledge”?
How did you keep from dope slapping her?

I was frustrated enough trying to find food that fits into my very limited current diet. I left her to wallow in her ignorance. besides, she wouldn’t have listened to me anyway.

No, Ralph, I swear to God I pronounce the P.

This is a life altering revelation.

I now question every decision I ever made.

Caprine, goats are caprine.

I think part of the attraction of the moon landing hoax is probably hatred for the U.S. and possibly the boomer generation. Some don’t want America or that generation to have ever accomplished anything great.

Oh man, when people list all the things we screwed up, it’s embarrassing. Anything that pissed off the older generation was cool.

I look forward to this discussion. And I love your Apollo podcast! And, we have a friend who insists we did not land on the moon.

It’s warmer in the summer because Apollo rides his chariot closer to the ground in the summer He rides closer so he can look at all the pretty girls in their skimpy sun dresses. That they wear in the summer.

I think Casino Royale was about the best Bond ever. Skyfall was pretty OK. The other two barely rose the level of Meh. Least they were better than A View to a Kill or Just Die Already Die Another Day.

Yea, but which is it.
Are you fluffy caprine or fluffy hircine. Only you can really tell us.
Or I could look it up, but nah.
