Jolyon watched 1984\u2019s \u201cNew Tales of the Flying Fox\u201d. You know, the one with the famous quote, \u201cWhat, fertilizer? It is a cocktail of excrement.\u201d Will has been into season 2 of a British show, set in old (olde?) times, then we learn that a ninth century Saxon king may be buried under a tennis court. The two things are unrelated. You\u2019ll find out what movie Will describes as just \u201cmoving parts on a screen\u201d. Speaking of screens, Richard is happy that the old 4:3 TV format is extinct. Jolyon remembers when it would reduce dialogue scenes to a pair of talking noses.\nThe guys reflect on the old days when they could\u2019ve been goth\u2026but weren\u2019t. Will says New Mexico is too hot for it, but warns that Santa Fe is full of vampires. Then the film.
