LOVE when I get a break from the usual "Welcome to the 'Book Show' tell us about your Book" type interviews. I was on with Rob Fredette of HODGEPOD podcast and we discussed "Movies of the 1980's" (2-parter)....
TALKIN ”TOP GUN” , ”E.T.” AND ”DIE HARD” IN A TWO EPISODE SERIES WITH JOSEPH M LENARD
HODGEPOD with Rob Fredette
Joseph M Lenard author and podcaster joins HODGEPOD to talk about three movies E.T. 1982, TOP GUN 1986 and DIE HARD 1988. In the first episode Rob and Joseph discuss E.T. and TOP GUN. The second episode will be on DIE HARD will drop Wednesday August 23rd. These 3 films main character started out as themselves against the world. But after perseverance the tide turned for these characters. Henry Thomas as Elliot, Tom Cruise as Maverick and Bruce Willis as John McClane all share similar characteristics from the beginning of the movie to the climatic ending of each film. The world or authority against them. Other topics discussed -Top Gun as a patriotic film -E.T. not your typical scary space film -Die Hard as a Christmas movie. Rob and Joseph discussnthe reasons why Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Please give a follow and listen for HODGEPOD which can be heard on Apple , Spotify, IHEART and all podcast platforms. Recorded August 18, 2023

Yes, one person PROFICIENT (I know many folks, COULD MAKE THAT SHOT), not have be PROFESSIONAL, could make that Shot.
Doesn't mean indeed don't still have other questions.
Also doesn't mean HE or THEY (if you want insist) accomplished ANYTHING REALLY.
Charlies BODY may now be gone, BUT HIS #VOICE NOW ONLY AMPLIFIED.
So, HE, They, WHATEVER THE FUCK, #EpicFail.
More Folks than ever now actually LISTENING TO WHAT CHARLIE SAID
many would never listen to him in LIFE, now hear him in DEATH.
And they are seeing/hearing FOR THEMSELVES that all said about Kirk WAS #LIES.
What he said, #REASONABLE, #SENSIBLE, #LOGICAL, #FACTUAL, etc...
more than EVER now move FROM THE LEFT.
And MORONS,
Charlie, us, want LESS RULES, LESS REGULATIONS, LESS GOVT,
THE VERY FUCKING OPPOSITE OF #FASCISM.
YOU are the ones want MORE FEDERAL DICTATES and more and more POWER/CONTROL in DC - centeralized, focused, power, THE VERY DEFINITION OF #FASCIST.
The BS written on one bullet "HEY #FASCIST, CATCH" shows PERFECTLY how STUPID ...
I am STILL HESITANT to make posts on/about Charlie,
though yes I have been,
especially when then adding info about my Show and Books!
On the one hand, worried about BEING PERCEIVED (or accused) OF TRYING #EXPLOIT situation.
ON OTHER HAND - it is what Left wants ---- WE CENSOR OURSELVES!!!
and we cannot allow that.
