leigh passed away as we're taping this on tuesday passed away yesterday at the age of ninety five course he was publisher of marvel for many many years more people probably know him recently not february then with ammonia unfortunately has been in the news because it's business managers been trying to rip them off allegedly so standley impact on comics on movies entertainment media grew from you know the ideas of marvel from the early days and who would have thought that you know two billion dollars at the box office and all these different things and so on and so forth you know i've never been a huge movies i'm not a big marvel comic fan  like d c comics more they make bad movies most of the time so there's that but but you know you just you know him and kirby and did go back in the day but you know all the ideas that came from them and what they started i mean really unbelievable sixty years later still going on still going stronger than ever in some ways that people always forget he was actually around before the marvel comics was marvel comics when we started to only board when you're seventeen yeah like a kid seventeen until ninety five still involved in this industry and just that serious tip the cap and you know almost eighty years in one industry and something that's playful you know something that's depth i think neatest things about him were i mean you could say i was the creator of all the stuff and he wasn't he wasn't at the same time it's sort of like your boss coming in and throwing ideas and taking the credit for that i mean a lot of that needs to go to the other guys in the industry who worked under him and without debt dredging up all of it there was a lot of controversy before way back with ownership at the forefront though he was  a the maker of this industry like pushed it as the p r guy it's not the same kind of parallel but he was like a jerry jones who the ownership was bigger than the franchise itself for a long period of time and even in that you know doldrums not heyday like sixty seventies eighties and that fall down and then the rebirth and then the death again and then the rebirth again and then the reinvention of itself in his industry and all through that kept trying to create a look at the other day what is his earliest cameo and it was like in some television whole movie and they showed him again looking old at the time but he's probably you know mid fifty's and early sixty's at t thirty forty years ago appearing in this stuff and to put himself in the soap box way back when and say stand soap box and be involved in all of that but just the fact that his name really was synonymous with the industry and those iconic characters and you know flip that over and tell me who those are some of the who's behind all that stuff now well and you know obviously he had a hand in creating or creating or you know overseeing you know hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of characters not the least of which spider man the hulk dr strange the fantastic four daredevil black panther x men and man iron man thor and groot can't forget  names in the fictional characters of all time here not so much of that just that whole time like even like you said with ditto for example him creating and working with steve ditko i mean you've got to give tip of the cap to him but ysterio and all of those characters in that initial spider man phase that were still around today that the sticker stuck around there that's pretty impressive pretty cool to you know really cool dude and  for me personally you know my interaction was never a big comic reader but just of course as a little kid became obsessed with star wars and then the but at the same time we had spider man electric company and the first superman movie with me go right there's marvel especially has come in the entertainment industry beyond the comics from kind of producing these kind of low budget things to obviously being that they are currently well liked and he was involved in a lot of stuff like i was even starting now to watch the gifted thing or one quick sequence of what's going on but you know i've actually said to me last night and he said the adventures for is already recorded but there are a lot of marvel movie movies that are in the can already dark phoenix x men and the new mutants one did he make cameos in those has he appeared in those where will be the last place he shows up somewhere and then what kind of almost are they going to put to him to  so how do you go from a sad story let's go to a slightly happier story the grinch donna samaan i opened sixty seven million dollars opening weekend i actually it's interesting movies number one and two this past weekend i saw this weekend both of them by getting a hold of watching some of these movies over overlord just barely eked out nutcracker movie for third place stars born of course still doing very very well no that is i don't know if you know the author of these wrote three books and published on they got popular after he died and there was a fourth one that was supposedly finished and his it's not widow because his girlfriend at the time of his death had those no yucky part of this is his family who he was away from like in every sense of the way he got all the royalties and his girlfriend with whom he spent all this time got nothing and so there's a back and forth battle between the estate and the girlfriend who has this fourth book about whether or not it's going to be released or come out and the estate heck with you will get somebody else to ghostwrite this fourth story which is the spider's web story and you know it made money but not the same kind of happy that this sort of stuck it to that those group of individuals and said you know what we're not big fans of this the novels are very good and the movie was pretty good didn't make much money but i'm glad that they went to this other thing they can to make more money and it turned out to be  stop any future future things that would happen but i mean less than eight million and i think internationally they said it made about eight million and this is you know almost a fifty million dollar budget movie so that had promotion you know a lot of commercials for it it but and the grinch i well surprised did so well that we went and saw it the whole family and it was actually really good what is up with you going to see movies this sacrilege but the great story was and it was funny because my daughter is not a big movie fan altogether but loves the grinch television special you know what i like all the things that are you know what's in the happy stuff or whatever and this be more to this than what most people have seen yet i mean talks about his motivation behind why he hates christmas and some like that but they just my daughter laughed basically through the entire movie which is not what you would expect necessarily from grant i mean million dollars at the box office worldwide i mean i went down the list if somebody doesn't rank as high as you think it would worldwide but it's still seven hundred million dollars was venom to been announced already or is it bring in carnage  ok so i mean huge fan of the band way pretty much my entire life outside of a very small window like late middle school early high school i moved on to other bands and i came back to them know in high school and  then freddy actually died right and when i was in high school and then of course when the world came out the u s for the only recognized the bands like that and one of your bands where i've read i don't for the forty fifty biographies on so the story the story the man which is very interesting is you know i know most of it or most of it you've heard enough different stories to say if this is going to be actual as opposed to one person's view point  and i was so you know but i'm going into it also saying i understand it's a biopic and they're going to play with the facts a little bit what amazes me though about stuff like this is they get the most minute details correct with wardrobe and with mannerisms and with they had the pizza oven the famous lighting grid that the queen used on the jazz tour that's on the live killers album it's like a four hundred light and it was the biggest lighting band that way he didn't join the band that way didn't meet mary that way john deacon wasn't in the band originally and he didn't lose his mike stand you know and the first queen show and i'm like ok so they've kind of you know he was already a singer in another band he was best friends with but then the story of the band you know you know freddie was in another band he was best buds with him he lived with brian and roger in an apartment he was living with his parents and he knew them brian was dating mary and then freddie said hey you know you brian was fans of the bodies with the engineer he said come in between midnight and six when nobody was paying customers are here beat on the instruments and the microphone so that's we can test everything out and while you're doing that will allow you to record those them you know they have and they came to an agreement saying you know you can't manage both of us you know want to go manage elton that will get higher it will take our lawyer jim beach and he can become our manager so so i was happening and then i'm like ok well the music's great you know their their plan that this is the stuff even though the songs are all completely out of sequence which is fine you know like ok we're going to get to live aid which is the basis of this you know this whole movie and i'm like but then they come up with this whole story of the band broke up which didn't happen you know they they had that they had it seemed like another one bites the dust came out with hot space when it came out with the greyman that help break up the band when the band and break up you know they had the hots bass came out they went on to war they said  it's like iraq all of us will do so but instead they made it seem like freddie was only doing it so and the band hated him for it was jealous of him and i think i said i was concerned about brian and roger being involved and sanitizing their characters and i thought it's funny that they're showing freddie's a party animal and brian rogers would get back to our wives yes not now and then i john goofy because he wasn't involved in the story but you know what it comes back around to live aid and  you know they make it seem as if freddie knew he had aids he didn't know till two years after live aid and they you know the big hole big story of why i could live it was so important to clean was because they made consider you know a fatal error in judgment by playing in africa in eighty four of those other two before live aid you know they had released a new album they went on tour for like six months their well oiled machine and there was like a month before live it happens it's not like they got back together for a good saying and it was kind of stuff but the basic reason why it was big for them was they played in africa when the rest of the world said do not play in africa while part is going on they played sun city they got blacklisted they were hated across the world for it and this was you know the real just just it was such a big deal that they came back to life it's also sanitizing their reputation you know but we're not as as bad and you know despite all that i was like ok you know i get it it's hollywoodized it was a fun movie it was very enjoyable the music's greats the a  and as far as the look at of him but i was underwhelmed by him as an individual maybe because brian isn't a cinematic as everybody else like you'd expect this yeah awesome guitar player to be very bastin or in command of a room and he was this is the legacy of the band that most people don't walk out there go that i now understand the story of queen and the story of queen is so interesting and what really happened it just seems weird to fictionalize and i know you're compressing fifteen years and right  people you know you're going to love the music movie but if you kind of know the story and for whatever reason you just can't get past some of these details it just makes it more difficult than i expected to be i thought i could just put it aside go this is just going to be a fun you know i think you're also in love i want my very longer view but that doesn't matter because obviously a lot of it yeah i don't have any of these days it is a great yeah it is a fun fun movie but it doesn't matter because we have something else on the horizon
