August 15th, 1620.

The Mayflower set sail from Southampton, England, with 102 pilgrims.

And how many made it?

I'd rather not.

Is that...

Hey, is that the right time to do it?

Because didn't the trips,

how long were the trips?

Weren't they like three?

Three months?

So if you leave in like mid-August, you're getting there in like,

I don't know.

I guess like you'll be there in time for Halloween.

I don't know.

I would want to have as much summer,

like spring, summer, fall.

I wouldn't want to like.

Are you thinking about what they're missing out on?

I think we're talking about it.

Are you thinking about weather?

I don't want to like fuck around.

Like, look, obviously they thought they were going to India or whatever because they were stupid.

But

I wouldn't want to fuck around and get to the new world and it be like January, you know?

Like, I wouldn't want winter to hit like immediately.

But you also,

like, is hurricane season a factor?

Oh, you're that far north?

I guess, like, hurricanes hit Massachusetts sometimes, so maybe.

Carolinas.

Do hurricanes hit England, though?

Did they know about hurricanes at that point?

They call them Woozy Watsits.

Woozy Watsits.

Yeah.

A little less severe, but still, still have an impact.

Yeah, I think the Pilgrims knew they were going to America, right?

It was Columbus.

Oh, yeah, because

this is the 1600s.

So, yeah, they.

I do want to see a scene.

So, the year is 1620.

The two of you are JBC, you are a father.

Aaron, you are JBC's daughter.

Great.

And it's been like a month on the ship on the voyage over to the United States.

Well, to the Americas at the time, I guess.

Thank you.

To the new land.

And the two of you are just kind of pumping each other up about how exciting this new world is going to be.

Dad, Dad, do you have a second?

Oh,

we're on a ship in front of people, so it's sir.

Sir, sir, do you have a second, sir?

Yes, absolutely.

I have a second to spare from my darling daughter.

I'm so excited for a new world.

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.

I know we're only like a few days away.

They just said that's so awesome.

And I promise not to get mad.

I promise not.

You think I'm.

Oh, you're going to tell me something that you think might make me mad.

Well,

maybe I'm underestimating you.

So.

Anger is a sin, and

it's not becoming of a man of

pilgriminity to engage in such frivolous behavior.

So I guarantee I will not get angry.

Okay, love that.

Love this.

I did forget my retainer.

So we might need to go back.

You forgot your servant boy?

Your retainer?

He still had three years left on his indentured servitude.

I know, and I know when you told me to leave the house, you said check for everything, and I

thought I had everything, so I thought I didn't have to check.

And then when you told me to double-check, I...

I would love to blame you for this, Galissa, but as you know, it is your servant's duty to do the double-checking.

So the fact that he didn't double-check for himself, well, you know, he will probably burn in hell for his sin, and that is not your sin.

So all is forgiven.

Great.

We smash cut back to England.

The retainer wakes up.

Master?

Anyone?

I'm free.

I'm free.

Cuts his thumb, dies immediately.

Back to the boat.

I'm glad that went well.

I forgot.

I forgot my whole.

You forgot your whole.

I forgot all of of it i forgot my whole bag my everything i forgot everything my whole my everything you forgot your whole bag oh for a second i thought that you were without um whatever whole women have

ah again maybe you should talk to your mother about this because she's dead

rest in peace i mean pray i mean pray to her obviously huh

I might look stupid, but I'm not Catholic stupid.

Sorry, I've been stuck.

Right, that's who we hate?

Sorry, we're crammed in here pretty tight and basically on top of each other.

I couldn't help but hear that this one's mother is dead.

Would you like to borrow me a Ouija board?

Oh, tell me about her.

Oh, you this device.

I'm sorry, I thought you were trying to set me up.

It's a mystical device with you use this planchette and hope on a wish in a dream that you can talk about.

Not the board, the woman.

Not the board, the woman.

August 15th, 1918, the longest work of animation produced, The Sinking of the Lusitania, was created by Windsor McKay.

Classic

animation for children.

Kids love that shit.

August 15th, 1939, The Wizard of Oz, American musical fantasy film adaptation of L.

Frankbaum's book, premieres at Graham and Chinese theater, Hollywood, directed by Victor Fleming and King Vidor.

I didn't know there was a director called King Vidor.

Damn, I was so wrong about big movies coming out because that's like a huge movie and it's coming out mid-August.

I want to see.

Oh, I want to see a scene.

Go ahead, Aaron.

I'd like to see a scene.

Adel, you're the Tin Man on set for Wizard of Oz.

And you're, GPC will have you be the scarecrow.

But Adel, you're quickly realizing that you have like the worst makeup by far, and you're feeling a little tilted.

Aaron, can I cajole you to be Dorothy?

Yeah, I'll come in.

I'll come in.

What does the scarecrow sound like?

I haven't seen this movie.

If I only had a brain.

Okay, because in my mind, I'm like, that's the lion.

No, but the lion sounds like the light.

The lion's like, hubba-bub-ba, cowardly, hab-ba-ba.

Give me scarecrow one more time.

If I only had a brain.

That sounds.

That sounds like the lion, right?

I can't remember.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

I'm Scarecrow.

Aaron, would it be okay if I was the lion?

I feel like I could do that voice better.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's a hot day today.

Yeah, I bet you're hot with all that fur.

Fuck, that looks so cool.

Doesn't it?

Yeah, turn around?

Yeah,

tailing everything.

Fucking cool.

But I was at the makeup chair for 40 minutes.

Oh, that's...

In today's Hollywood, that's forever.

That's forever.

Damn it.

You look.

You look.

Yeah?

Yeah.

It's good, it's working.

I have like a

I have like an oil spigot upside down on my head like it felt like they ran I felt like they ran out of time for character design

Do you know at some point in the movie I have a gun?

I just have a fucking gun look it up

They just props was like here's your gun like gun don't I have a hatchet or an axe and they're like no at some point you're gonna just have a gun This is gonna sound so strange I apologize for it, but

have we met?

Are you the

new tin man?

Yeah, well, the old one died of lead paint poisoning, but we don't know that.

We don't know that it was lead paint poisoning.

It could be anything.

I do.

Oh, hello.

You must be the new tin man.

I was wondering if you could help solve a mystery.

Oh, hi, Lion.

Hello, Dorothy.

Oh, there's some tension there.

She slept with my brother.

I did.

But I have a question.

I'm noticing silver paint in all sorts of unusual places all over this set.

I was wondering if you could help solve that mystery.

I see it over a lot of the mouths and the necks of the people working on this set, and I see it all sorts of other places too.

Unsavory places.

Yeah,

Tin Man's gotta eat.

Does that make sense?

You're like,

you're like 28, right, kid?

No, I'm like 17.

Uh, but you're hopped up on drugs.

Yes.

Okay, so,

uh,

listen, Tin Man, you know.

I painted you into a corner.

And I appreciate it.

I appreciate it.

And can I just say, fucking Christ, that costume looks great.

You got the little

dress and the dog.

It only takes a minute to get on.

Oh, my God.

This took 18 minutes.

If you ask my brother, it takes slightly shorter to get off.

Come on.

My brother's 17.

Oh, thank God.

Oh, thank God.
