174
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:01,299
CHRIS: Oh yeah, oh
yeah, we're still in it.
175
00:05:01,367 --> 00:05:02,234
ROBBIE: Wow.
176
00:05:02,368 --> 00:05:04,102
MIKE: So what do you
got going on in here?
177
00:05:04,236 --> 00:05:05,103
CHRIS: Our father passed away
about a year and a half ago,
178
00:05:05,171 --> 00:05:05,771
and now we have to
move this stuff around.
179
00:05:05,905 --> 00:05:06,772
And we're not collectors.
180
00:05:06,906 --> 00:05:08,506
CHRIS: We don't
go out and search for
181
00:05:08,574 --> 00:05:10,108
props and movie props.
182
00:05:10,242 --> 00:05:13,111
So everything that we have is
part of our family history.
183
00:05:13,245 --> 00:05:15,980
CHRIS: We build it, we shoot
it, and it goes on the shelf.
184
00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:17,849
CHRIS: So all this stuff,
nobody else has ever seen
185
00:05:17,917 --> 00:05:19,851
before, and a lot of it
we're attached to,
186
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:21,253
we're ready to sell
some, but not all of it.
187
00:05:21,387 --> 00:05:23,055
MIKE: Yeah.
188
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:25,190
MIKE: When you talk about a
generational business where
189
00:05:25,258 --> 00:05:27,993
I'm from, it's usually like a
hardware store or a restaurant,
190
00:05:28,127 --> 00:05:30,795
or maybe even a century
farm. But this is Hollywood.
191
00:05:30,863 --> 00:05:33,398
So a generational family
business is props
192
00:05:33,532 --> 00:05:35,600
and special effects.
193
00:05:35,735 --> 00:05:36,535
MIKE: So what
is this from?
194
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:37,402
CHRIS: Land
of the Lost.
195
00:05:37,536 --> 00:05:38,336
MIKE: Oh this is it.
196
00:05:38,404 --> 00:05:38,804
ROBBIE: This.
197
00:05:38,938 --> 00:05:39,471
CHRIS: This is it.
198
00:05:39,539 --> 00:05:41,006
MIKE: This is the stuff.
199
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:41,740
CHRIS: This is Grumpy, this
is Dopey, that's Emily.
200
00:05:41,874 --> 00:05:42,941
MIKE: What is
this made of?
201
00:05:43,075 --> 00:05:45,610
CHRIS: Foam. It's 45 years
old and foam just didn't
202
00:05:45,678 --> 00:05:46,945
hold up like it does today.
203
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:48,347
MIKE: Wow Robbie, this is
what we were watching...
204
00:05:48,481 --> 00:05:49,948
ROBBIE: Really?
205
00:05:50,082 --> 00:05:51,416
That's what that was that
we were watching on TV.
206
00:05:51,484 --> 00:05:54,086
It was so real then.
207
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:56,421
ROBBIE: Actually look, large,
it looked like it was coming
208
00:05:56,555 --> 00:05:57,622
out of the TV at you.
209
00:05:57,690 --> 00:06:00,959
CHRIS: When we do our job
right, yes it does look large.
210
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:03,294
ROBBIE: So here's a question
for ya - the Sleestak.
211
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:04,963
CHRIS: Yep.
212
00:06:05,097 --> 00:06:05,831
ROBBIE: They're hands and
stuff were like 3 fingers,
213
00:06:05,965 --> 00:06:08,099
they're going 'aagghh'
walking at ya!
214
00:06:08,167 --> 00:06:10,101
ROBBIE: Did your dad make
them, your grandfather make...?
215
00:06:10,169 --> 00:06:14,306
CHRIS: No we, we didn't do
the practical makeup effects.
216
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,307
ROBBIE: Okay.
217
00:06:15,441 --> 00:06:16,775
CHRIS: We just did the
stop motion animation.
218
00:06:16,843 --> 00:06:17,575
Had nothing to do
with the Sleestaks.
219
00:06:17,643 --> 00:06:19,711
This is how you animate.
220
00:06:19,845 --> 00:06:20,579
You actually
physically grab it...
221
00:06:20,713 --> 00:06:21,913
ROBBIE: And
have to move it.
222
00:06:21,981 --> 00:06:22,714
CHRIS: Okay, you have to
get to the ball joint.
223
00:06:22,848 --> 00:06:24,315
One of the dinosaurs
breathed fire.
224
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:26,117
ROBBIE: Oh yeah?
225
00:06:26,185 --> 00:06:28,119
CHRIS: Our father would bring
us over, or I would use the
226
00:06:28,187 --> 00:06:30,922
lighter, my brother would set
the butane up, it would blow
227
00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:33,725
flames, and then he would
take us back home put
228
00:06:33,793 --> 00:06:34,860
us back in bed, and
he'd continue-
229
00:06:34,994 --> 00:06:36,728
MIKE: He just wanted you
guys to be a part of it.
230
00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:37,328
CHRIS: He-he
couldn't do it all.
231
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:38,263
ROBBIE: Yeah.
232
00:06:38,397 --> 00:06:39,598
CHRIS: He actually
needed us to physically
233
00:06:39,732 --> 00:06:40,866
be there to shoot the shot.
234
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,733
ROBBIE: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
MIKE: That's crazy!
235
00:06:41,801 --> 00:06:43,134
MIKE: Wow. [laughs]
ROBBIE: Exactly.
236
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:44,803
CHRIS: In the visual effects
world, you didn't have to big
237
00:06:44,871 --> 00:06:45,537
crews, there wasn't
much money for it.
238
00:06:45,605 --> 00:06:46,337
This was a passion job.
239
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:47,272
MIKE: Really?
240
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:48,206
CHRIS: In the early
visual effects days.
241
00:06:48,340 --> 00:06:49,541
MIKE: But the visual
effects were everything.
242
00:06:49,675 --> 00:06:50,342
CHRIS: Not until Star Wars.
243
00:06:50,476 --> 00:06:51,610
MIKE: Ohh okay.
244
00:06:51,744 --> 00:06:54,012
CHRIS: After
Star Wars, booom!
245
00:06:54,146 --> 00:06:56,147
Right after Star Wars came
out, they said, oh my God,
246
00:06:56,215 --> 00:06:59,351
you can make a lot of money with
these visual effects movies.
247
00:06:59,485 --> 00:07:00,819
Here's more money.
248
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:02,621
MIKE: It's amazing that
such a large show
249
00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:04,089
was really a grassroots effort.
250
00:07:04,223 --> 00:07:06,958
When you think Hollywood, you
think big -time production,
251
00:07:07,026 --> 00:07:08,827
you're not thinking about
all the mom & pop shops
252
00:07:08,895 --> 00:07:11,363
that were really keeping
the wheels turning
253
00:07:11,497 --> 00:07:13,832
behind the scenes.
254
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:15,634
MIKE: Would it hurt this
to have someone do
255
00:07:15,768 --> 00:07:16,568
some sort of restoration on it?
256
00:07:16,702 --> 00:07:17,435
CHRIS: Yeah,
yes it would.
257
00:07:17,503 --> 00:07:18,837
ROBBIE: Yeah, yeah.
258
00:07:18,905 --> 00:07:19,571
CHRIS: In this world,
if you restore it,
259
00:07:19,705 --> 00:07:20,572
it takes the charm out of it.
260
00:07:20,706 --> 00:07:21,439
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Yeah.
261
00:07:21,507 --> 00:07:22,641
CHRIS: It doesn't...
262
00:07:22,775 --> 00:07:23,842
MIKE: It doesn't
show the history.
263
00:07:23,976 --> 00:07:24,843
ROBBIE: It only tells
the story one time.
264
00:07:24,911 --> 00:07:25,577
CHRIS: It only tells
the story one time.
265
00:07:25,711 --> 00:07:26,845
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Yeah.
266
00:07:26,913 --> 00:07:28,447
What is the value of
somethinglike this?
267
00:07:28,581 --> 00:07:29,247
CHRIS: 10 to $20,000.
268
00:07:29,315 --> 00:07:29,647
MIKE: Really!?
ROBBIE: Really?
269
00:07:29,715 --> 00:07:30,449
CHRIS: Um...
270
00:07:30,583 --> 00:07:31,783
MIKE: In this condition?
271
00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:32,650
CHRIS: They can be
from this condition,
272
00:07:32,718 --> 00:07:33,852
all the way to this condition.
273
00:07:33,986 --> 00:07:36,321
Don't be confused that
there's no foam on...
274
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:37,188
ROBBIE: Yeah.
275
00:07:37,256 --> 00:07:37,589
CHRIS: Depending on
what it's from...
276
00:07:37,657 --> 00:07:38,456
MIKE: Yeah.
277
00:07:38,524 --> 00:07:40,124
Chris: [CH-CH-CH-CH].
278
00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:42,660
King Kong's armature is worth
more than a million dollars.
279
00:07:42,728 --> 00:07:45,464
And it's only...
this condition.
280
00:07:45,598 --> 00:07:46,598
ROBBIE: Just
the body.
281
00:07:46,732 --> 00:07:47,732
CHRIS: It's
just the metal.
282
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,334
MIKE: From the first
King Kong movie?
283
00:07:49,402 --> 00:07:50,602
CHRIS: Yep, yep.
284
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,070
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Oh wow.
285
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:53,671
So this is not for the average
fan for Land of the Lost.
286
00:07:53,739 --> 00:07:56,007
CHRIS: At the
price points, no.
287
00:07:56,075 --> 00:07:58,677
ROBBIE: I know somebody
out there would want this,
288
00:07:58,811 --> 00:07:59,678
but most people we
deal with aren't
289
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:01,946
going to buy
something like this.
290
00:08:02,014 --> 00:08:03,482
CHRIS: Gardner Advertising
came to us and said,
291
00:08:03,616 --> 00:08:04,749
make these 4 mittens.
292
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:06,818
We sculpted 4 mittens,
and they said-
293
00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:08,286
MIKE: Oh are those
for Hamburger Helper.
294
00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:09,421
ROBBIE: Yeah.
295
00:08:09,555 --> 00:08:10,889
CHRIS: And Hamburger Helper
commercial was started.
296
00:08:11,023 --> 00:08:11,956
MIKE & ROBBIE: [laughs]
MIKE: I love that stuff!
297
00:08:12,024 --> 00:08:13,625
CHRIS: Kind of strange
being able to walk down
298
00:08:13,693 --> 00:08:14,893
a supermarket aisle and go -
299
00:08:14,961 --> 00:08:17,762
worked on that, helped
create that, did that.
300
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:19,430
ROBBIE: The original
Pillsbury sign.
301
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:21,299
MIKE: Hee hee hee...
302
00:08:21,433 --> 00:08:22,367
ROBBIE: Yeah.
303
00:08:22,501 --> 00:08:23,368
Mike: Hoo Hoo! What is
something like this worth?
304
00:08:23,502 --> 00:08:24,236
CHRIS: 6 to 8,000.
305
00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:25,503
MIKE: Wow.
306
00:08:25,571 --> 00:08:26,304
CHRIS: It's not for sale.
307
00:08:26,372 --> 00:08:27,439
MIKE: Okay.
308
00:08:27,573 --> 00:08:28,039
ROBBIE: Look at that.
309
00:08:28,173 --> 00:08:28,706
MIKE: What's that from?
310
00:08:28,774 --> 00:08:29,574
CHRIS: Magic in the Water.
311
00:08:29,642 --> 00:08:30,308
ROBBIE: This is the dragon.
312
00:08:30,376 --> 00:08:31,910
CHRIS: Orky.
313
00:08:31,978 --> 00:08:32,644
MIKE: You familiar with
this movie, Robbie?
314
00:08:32,778 --> 00:08:34,112
ROBBIE: I got 5
kids. Come on.
315
00:08:34,246 --> 00:08:36,314
I remember the kid would go
out to the end of the dock...
316
00:08:36,382 --> 00:08:37,449
CHRIS: Yep.
317
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:38,316
ROBBIE: And feed Orky.
318
00:08:38,384 --> 00:08:39,117
MIKE: This was the
main character.
319
00:08:39,185 --> 00:08:41,052
CHRIS: Yeah he was
the character...
320
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:41,920
ROBBIE: This was the main
character, it was like-it was
321
00:08:42,054 --> 00:08:42,387
like the Loch Ness
monster, basically.
322
00:08:42,521 --> 00:08:44,122
CHRIS: Exactly.
323
00:08:44,256 --> 00:08:46,124
ROBBIE: It's amazing to look
at this piece, how small it is,
324
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:47,859
when the kid's standing at the
end of the dock, this thing
325
00:08:47,993 --> 00:08:50,262
comes out of the water
and it looks at the kid.
326
00:08:50,396 --> 00:08:51,863
It was huge!
327
00:08:51,997 --> 00:08:53,732
MIKE: So was this a
movie that you worked on?
328
00:08:53,866 --> 00:08:54,999
CHRIS: Oh yeah. I
personally animated
329
00:08:55,067 --> 00:08:58,937
that puppet swimming around
and did the flapping.
330
00:08:59,071 --> 00:09:00,205
ROBBIE: To see this thing
move through the water,
331
00:09:00,339 --> 00:09:04,609
jump in the air, get fed by the
kid, is absolutely amazing.
332
00:09:04,677 --> 00:09:06,811
How talented these guys were.
333
00:09:06,946 --> 00:09:07,279
ROBBIE: That movie
was shot in the '90s.
334
00:09:07,413 --> 00:09:09,014
CHRIS: Yeah.
335
00:09:09,148 --> 00:09:10,749
ROBBIE: That's why it's like
I can't believe they used
336
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:11,750
something like this
to shoot it with.
337
00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:12,817
CHRIS: They're still
doing stop motion.
338
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:13,484
ROBBIE: They're still
doing it that way.
339
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:15,086
CHRIS: Yeah, still today.
340
00:09:15,154 --> 00:09:16,888
Everybody wants that CGI, it
just doesn't have the charm.
341
00:09:16,956 --> 00:09:18,156
ROBBIE: What kind of
value has this got on it?
342
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:21,292
CHRIS: It's a movie, but it's
not an iconic American piece.
343
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,294
MIKE: Yeah.
344
00:09:22,428 --> 00:09:23,562
ROBBIE: Yeah.
345
00:09:23,696 --> 00:09:26,898
CHRIS: Value on that's probably
anywhere from 500 to $1,000.
346
00:09:26,966 --> 00:09:28,033
ROBBIE: I'd take a chance
on it at 500 bucks.
347
00:09:28,167 --> 00:09:30,635
I like the movie, but I-I mean,
this is like stuff that's
348
00:09:30,769 --> 00:09:33,004
completely out of my wheelhouse.
349
00:09:36,375 --> 00:09:37,008
CHRIS: 750?
350
00:09:40,513 --> 00:09:41,512
It's one-of-a-kind.
351
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:44,983
ROBBIE:
Umm... 600.
352
00:09:46,385 --> 00:09:47,986
CHRIS: 650?
353
00:09:50,523 --> 00:09:51,456
ROBBIE: I'm doing it.
354
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,657
MIKE: Alright, alright.
355
00:09:52,791 --> 00:09:53,858
CHRIS: Done. Woo.
Our first sale.
356
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:55,460
MIKE: Tell me about this
piece that's hanging
357
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:56,328
above your head here.
358
00:09:56,462 --> 00:09:57,996
That is like...
359
00:09:58,064 --> 00:09:58,997
CHRIS: Peter Benchley, who
wrote Jaws, wrote a movie
360
00:09:59,131 --> 00:10:01,666
called The Beast. So it
was basically a squid.
361
00:10:01,734 --> 00:10:02,867
MIKE: It's just
the tentacle?
362
00:10:02,935 --> 00:10:04,335
CHRIS: it's just the
articulated squid arm.
363
00:10:04,403 --> 00:10:05,803
MIKE: Oh okay.
364
00:10:05,871 --> 00:10:06,270
So it doesn't have
a body or anything.
365
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:08,006
CHRIS: No.
366
00:10:08,074 --> 00:10:09,541
This is the most modern
silicone that's out there.
367
00:10:09,675 --> 00:10:11,276
It wrapped around the boat.
368
00:10:11,410 --> 00:10:12,076
ROBBIE: Oh.
369
00:10:12,144 --> 00:10:12,810
CHRIS: And then
pulled it, we...
370
00:10:12,878 --> 00:10:13,545
ROBBIE: Pulled
the boat down.
371
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,146
CHRIS: Big
struggle, and...
372
00:10:15,214 --> 00:10:16,815
MIKE: What's something like
this worth, would you sell this?
373
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:17,749
CHRIS: We actually
like just this single
374
00:10:17,883 --> 00:10:18,617
squid arm more than
the full squid.
375
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:19,617
MIKE: Oh you have
the whole squid.
376
00:10:19,685 --> 00:10:20,284
CHRIS: We have
the whole squid.
377
00:10:20,353 --> 00:10:21,753
MIKE: Okay.
378
00:10:21,887 --> 00:10:22,420
MIKE: I'm literally like
a sponge today.
379
00:10:22,554 --> 00:10:23,755
MIKE: This is all CDs.
380
00:10:23,823 --> 00:10:25,423
MIKE: Soaking up all
this information.
381
00:10:25,491 --> 00:10:26,758
MIKE: Newspapers...
382
00:10:26,892 --> 00:10:28,293
MIKE: Yes, I'm here to
buy some stuff...
383
00:10:28,427 --> 00:10:29,894
ROBBIE: Whoa...!
384
00:10:30,029 --> 00:10:31,429
MIKE: But these are things
that we very rarely
385
00:10:31,497 --> 00:10:33,031
ever come across,
386
00:10:33,165 --> 00:10:35,900
and it's fascinating for me
to hear the values of some
387
00:10:36,035 --> 00:10:39,571
of these things, when the
condition is so poor.
388
00:10:39,705 --> 00:10:40,571
ROBBIE: What
is this thing?
389
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,040
What movie is this from?
390
00:10:42,174 --> 00:10:44,909
CHRIS: Not a movie, but it
was handmade by our father.
391
00:10:44,977 --> 00:10:48,846
It was for my 11-year-
old Halloween costume.
392
00:10:48,914 --> 00:10:50,782
What he did was, he took a
mold of my face,
393
00:10:50,850 --> 00:10:51,983
and then he sculpted
this out of clay,
394
00:10:52,051 --> 00:10:56,921
made it so this mask was fit
for my head perfectly.
395
00:10:56,989 --> 00:10:59,190
And then when we went to
the costume contest, they
396
00:10:59,258 --> 00:11:03,327
disqualified my brother and I
'cause it was too professional.
397
00:11:03,396 --> 00:11:04,462
Mike: [chuckles]
398
00:11:04,596 --> 00:11:05,930
CHRIS: So we stepped aside
and just said, you're right.
399
00:11:06,065 --> 00:11:06,531
ROBBIE: Yeah, that's
something you need to keep.
400
00:11:06,599 --> 00:11:07,732
CHRIS: It's pretty cool.
401
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:08,266
ROBBIE: Yeah.
That's really cool.
402
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,467
CHRIS: Yeah.
403
00:11:09,601 --> 00:11:10,868
MIKE: What
this from?
404
00:11:10,936 --> 00:11:11,602
CHRIS: Mothman Prophecies
with Richard Gere.
405
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,337
MIKE: No, I
love that movie!
406
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:14,539
ROBBIE: Yeah.
407
00:11:14,673 --> 00:11:16,207
MIKE: Mothman Prophecies is
one of my favorite movies that
408
00:11:16,275 --> 00:11:19,143
Richard Gere starred in. It's a
story of a West Virginia town,
409
00:11:19,211 --> 00:11:23,614
a bridge collapsing in 1967,
and it being connected to the
410
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:27,151
Mothman folklore in the area.
411
00:11:27,219 --> 00:11:30,088
This is the movie that's based
on true events, but it leaves
412
00:11:30,222 --> 00:11:34,158
you wondering where the true
ends and the folklore begins.
413
00:11:34,827 --> 00:11:35,693
CHRIS: That's
fiberglass, detailed-
414
00:11:35,761 --> 00:11:37,361
MIKE: It's got
some weight to it.
415
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:38,629
CHRIS: -detailed.
416
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:39,764
MIKE: So would this have been
something like it fell off the
417
00:11:39,832 --> 00:11:40,432
bridge when they
went over the bridge.
418
00:11:40,566 --> 00:11:41,966
CHRIS: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
419
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:43,034
MIKE: This is so much
different than a character
420
00:11:43,102 --> 00:11:44,836
in a commercial or a
Saturday morning kids show.
421
00:11:44,904 --> 00:11:47,305
CHRIS: It gets carved
first out of foam.
422
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:48,039
MIKE: Okay.
423
00:11:48,173 --> 00:11:49,307
CHRIS: Then you
build a mold.
424
00:11:49,441 --> 00:11:51,042
MIKE: Seeing this truck makes
me realize how much miniature
425
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:53,978
work we've all scene without
even really knowing it,
426
00:11:54,046 --> 00:11:56,915
which really speaks to the
quality of their work.
427
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:59,317
ROBBIE: How long would
it take to make this...
428
00:11:59,451 --> 00:12:00,718
CHRIS: A month.
429
00:12:00,786 --> 00:12:01,385
ROBBIE: start
to finish-a month.
430
00:12:01,454 --> 00:12:02,453
Yeah, there it is.
431
00:12:02,521 --> 00:12:03,321
MIKE: So what's the value
of something like this?
432
00:12:03,455 --> 00:12:04,188
CHRIS: 500, $600.
433
00:12:04,256 --> 00:12:04,989
MIKE: So you're not
making this guy,
434
00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:06,524
that looks like a some sort of-
435
00:12:06,658 --> 00:12:06,991
ROBBIE: No, it's a G.I. Joe.
436
00:12:07,126 --> 00:12:07,592
MIKE: It's a G.I.
437
00:12:07,726 --> 00:12:08,993
Joe, it's something that-
438
00:12:09,128 --> 00:12:10,328
CHRIS: Well, 6th-6th scale
is a really good scale.
439
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:11,929
ROBBIE: Okay.
440
00:12:11,997 --> 00:12:12,731
CHRIS: To build miniatures
at, because you can,
441
00:12:12,865 --> 00:12:13,598
you can still make
it look real...
442
00:12:13,732 --> 00:12:14,999
ROBBIE: Okay.
MIKE: Uh -huh.
443
00:12:15,134 --> 00:12:16,868
CHRIS: G.I. Joes and Barbies
happen to be 6th scale.
444
00:12:16,936 --> 00:12:17,736
MIKE: Did you play a
role in building this?
445
00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:20,071
CHRIS: My brother
built it, I shot it.
446
00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:22,340
MIKE: What would you feel
comfortable selling this for?
447
00:12:22,474 --> 00:12:25,009
CHRIS: 400 bucks.
448
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:27,612
MIKE: Yeah, I'm
trying to think,
449
00:12:27,746 --> 00:12:28,746
what we could get out of it.
450
00:12:28,814 --> 00:12:29,280
This would display
well, I mean...
451
00:12:29,414 --> 00:12:30,348
CHRIS: Yeah.
452
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:31,216
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.
453
00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:32,617
MIKE: obviously it's
from a movie,
454
00:12:32,751 --> 00:12:33,551
but it's also transportation.
455
00:12:33,619 --> 00:12:34,085
Alright, I'll do 400 bucks.
456
00:12:34,219 --> 00:12:35,286
Alright, thank you, man.
457
00:12:35,420 --> 00:12:35,420
Appreciate it.
458
00:12:40,359 --> 00:12:45,363
♪ ♪ ♪
459
00:12:45,497 --> 00:12:46,898
MIKE: What's this?
460
00:12:46,966 --> 00:12:48,032
CHRIS: I had a box I went
through, and I said,
461
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:49,634
'Gene, I'm going to toss this.'
He pulled that out, says
462
00:12:49,768 --> 00:12:51,435
'you don't want
to toss this.'
463
00:12:51,504 --> 00:12:52,303
MIKE: Terminator...
464
00:12:52,371 --> 00:12:53,438
CHRIS: 2...
465
00:12:53,572 --> 00:12:53,838
MIKE: Judgment Day.
466
00:12:53,972 --> 00:12:54,505
ROBBIE: Wow.
467
00:12:54,573 --> 00:12:55,640
CHRIS: Original script.
468
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:56,908
MIKE: Huge movie.
Blockbuster.
469
00:12:56,976 --> 00:12:59,511
MIKE: It says 'Gene
Warren, Leslie Huntley,
470
00:12:59,645 --> 00:13:01,712
Fantasy 2
Film Effects.'
471
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:03,181
CHRIS: Gene
Warren's our father.
472
00:13:03,249 --> 00:13:06,451
MIKE: 'Dear Gene and Leslie,
per your conversation with Jim,
473
00:13:06,585 --> 00:13:07,318
I am sending a script.'
474
00:13:07,386 --> 00:13:08,319
CHRIS: Pretty
personalized script.
475
00:13:08,387 --> 00:13:09,854
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.
476
00:13:09,988 --> 00:13:10,388
CHRIS: Our father did the
stop motion puppets
477
00:13:10,522 --> 00:13:12,123
for the Terminator.
478
00:13:12,191 --> 00:13:14,192
ROBBIE: These guys were doing
the visual effects on that.
479
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:15,860
Crazy!
480
00:13:15,994 --> 00:13:16,661
CHRIS: Each time you saw
it walking full body,
481
00:13:16,729 --> 00:13:18,863
toe-to-head, stop motion puppet.
482
00:13:18,931 --> 00:13:21,933
To different scales,
'cause T1 was 6th scale,
483
00:13:22,001 --> 00:13:23,802
and then when we did T2,
Jim goes, big difference,
484
00:13:23,936 --> 00:13:26,738
you got more money, make
bigger miniatures.
485
00:13:26,872 --> 00:13:28,273
MIKE: So is that
something you'd sell?
486
00:13:28,407 --> 00:13:30,008
CHRIS: Yeah.
487
00:13:30,142 --> 00:13:32,343
MIKE: This is an original
script that is personalized
488
00:13:32,411 --> 00:13:33,945
to his father.
489
00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:35,079
MIKE: I mean, what would
you have to have for that?
490
00:13:35,214 --> 00:13:37,215
CHRIS: The bigger the
picture, the bigger the price.
491
00:13:37,349 --> 00:13:40,285
There's T2 pieces have sold for
a quarter-of-a-million dollars.
492
00:13:40,419 --> 00:13:41,019
MIKE: Really?
493
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:44,422
CHRIS: Yeah. So...
3 to $500.
494
00:13:45,224 --> 00:13:47,692
Probably worth maybe, double
that on an auction or something?
495
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,293
MIKE: To the right
auction, yeah.
496
00:13:49,361 --> 00:13:50,294
CHRIS: Yeah.
497
00:13:50,362 --> 00:13:52,430
MIKE: It's so hard to
find an original script,
498
00:13:52,498 --> 00:13:54,765
next to impossible.
499
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,701
But here is one
that's personalized.
500
00:13:56,835 --> 00:13:58,570
So there's 2 stories
colliding there.
501
00:13:58,704 --> 00:14:00,438
This is an incredible piece.
502
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:02,006
MIKE: 3 to 5... 400?
503
00:14:02,507 --> 00:14:03,641
CHRIS: 400 it is.
504
00:14:03,709 --> 00:14:04,709
MIKE: Alright,
I'm doing it.
505
00:14:04,777 --> 00:14:05,243
CHRIS: Deal, to
both of you, yes.
506
00:14:05,377 --> 00:14:06,778
400 bucks.
507
00:14:06,912 --> 00:14:07,512
MIKE: Thank you, buddy.
I appreciate it.
508
00:14:07,646 --> 00:14:08,313
Check that our, Robbie.
509
00:14:08,447 --> 00:14:09,247
CHRIS: Right on.
510
00:14:09,381 --> 00:14:10,448
ROBBIE: There's a
train behind you, Mike.
511
00:14:10,582 --> 00:14:11,315
MIKE: Where, right here?
512
00:14:11,383 --> 00:14:12,316
ROBBIE: Yeah.
513
00:14:12,384 --> 00:14:13,651
CHRIS: That's, that's
the train tracks for-
514
00:14:13,719 --> 00:14:15,587
oh that's actually, good find.
515
00:14:15,721 --> 00:14:17,989
That's Bram Stoker's Dracula.
516
00:14:18,057 --> 00:14:20,859
That's the actual engine
from Bram Stoker's Dracula.
517
00:14:20,993 --> 00:14:23,528
CHRIS: I didn't know
where that was, good job.
518
00:14:23,662 --> 00:14:24,395
MIKE: Okay
here, Robbie.
519
00:14:24,529 --> 00:14:26,064
The train to that...
520
00:14:26,198 --> 00:14:27,999
Wait-wait-whoa-whoa-whoa -wait
-wait, let me move this...
521
00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:29,066
ROBBIE: alright, it's not
going down, you're good.
522
00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:30,601
CHRIS: This is when it takes
Keanu Reeves across
523
00:14:30,669 --> 00:14:32,337
the Carpathian Mountains...
524
00:14:32,471 --> 00:14:34,205
ROBBIE: Right.
525
00:14:34,273 --> 00:14:35,340
CHRIS: Through the tunnel, you
see the eyes in the background,
526
00:14:35,474 --> 00:14:36,674
the eyes glow up.
527
00:14:36,808 --> 00:14:38,075
ROBBIE: That is
an awesome movie.
528
00:14:38,143 --> 00:14:41,079
CHRIS: The reason why this looks
so good, is we would take
529
00:14:41,213 --> 00:14:43,481
smoke cookies, put them inside
this, and we'd light them.
530
00:14:43,615 --> 00:14:45,283
And it was almost a bomb.
531
00:14:45,417 --> 00:14:46,351
Mike: [laughs]
532
00:14:46,485 --> 00:14:47,418
CHRIS: Because of-
533
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:48,886
ROBBIE: Almost a bomb.
534
00:14:48,954 --> 00:14:49,287
CHRIS: Because there's
a tiny hole in here...
535
00:14:49,421 --> 00:14:50,488
ROBBIE: Yeah.
536
00:14:50,556 --> 00:14:51,623
CHRIS: It didn't explode.
537
00:14:51,757 --> 00:14:53,024
So then this thing would plume.
538
00:14:53,158 --> 00:14:55,893
If we couldn't get that smoke
cloud, we couldn't have
539
00:14:55,961 --> 00:14:57,428
sold the audience that it
was a bigger train.
540
00:14:57,562 --> 00:14:58,963
ROBBIE: Right, right.
541
00:14:59,031 --> 00:15:01,032
CHRIS: We have a box
downstairs with the rest of
542
00:15:01,166 --> 00:15:02,634
this, which by the way, my
brother's inside right now.
543
00:15:02,768 --> 00:15:03,301
MIKE: Can we
bring this inside?
544
00:15:03,369 --> 00:15:04,502
CHRIS: Yep.
545
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:05,503
We can lay it together.
546
00:15:05,637 --> 00:15:06,771
ROBBIE: I'll carry this
in, I'm following you.
547
00:15:06,839 --> 00:15:07,638
CHRIS: This was
our father's house.
548
00:15:07,706 --> 00:15:08,706
My brother and I now have it.
549
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,308
MIKE: What year was
the house built?
550
00:15:10,376 --> 00:15:11,309
CHRIS: 1926.
551
00:15:11,377 --> 00:15:12,310
ROBBIE: Wow.
552
00:15:12,444 --> 00:15:13,311
MIKE: Really!
553
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:13,978
ROBBIE: Wow.
554
00:15:14,112 --> 00:15:14,445
CHRIS: Welcome
to our home.
555
00:15:14,579 --> 00:15:15,446
MIKE: Oh-ho-ho.
556
00:15:15,580 --> 00:15:16,314
ROBBIE: This is cool.
557
00:15:16,382 --> 00:15:18,049
CHRIS: Gene?
558
00:15:18,183 --> 00:15:18,516
Gene, we've been selling stuff
up there, what you doing?
559
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:19,583
MIKE: Hey-hey.
560
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:20,385
ROBBIE: Hey,
what's going on?
561
00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:21,586
MIKE: Hey, I'm Mike.
562
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,253
GENE: Mike,
nice to meet you.
563
00:15:22,387 --> 00:15:23,588
ROBBIE: Ugh.
564
00:15:23,722 --> 00:15:24,322
MIKE: Nice to
meet you, hi.
565
00:15:24,456 --> 00:15:25,056
GENE: I'm Gene.
566
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:25,456
MIKE: This is my
brother, Robbie.
567
00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:26,324
ROBBIE: Ah.
568
00:15:26,392 --> 00:15:26,991
GENE: Hi Robbie.
569
00:15:27,059 --> 00:15:28,192
ROBBIE: Good
to meet ya.
570
00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:29,860
GENE: We both, I think, ended
up working with our father
571
00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:30,795
because we needed a job
out of highschool.
572
00:15:30,929 --> 00:15:32,596
It's not like we were
growing up saying,
573
00:15:32,665 --> 00:15:34,598
oh we want to be visual...
574
00:15:34,667 --> 00:15:35,933
CHRIS: Not
necessarily me.
575
00:15:36,001 --> 00:15:37,668
I- I took 3 years before I
joined the business,
576
00:15:37,736 --> 00:15:39,804
knowing I wanted to get into it.
577
00:15:39,872 --> 00:15:41,806
But this business,
you sell your soul.
578
00:15:41,874 --> 00:15:43,941
And I wasn't ready
to sell my soul yet.
579
00:15:44,009 --> 00:15:45,810
GENE: Which... which I
did jump right into it,
580
00:15:45,878 --> 00:15:48,813
and 3 years later, I
quit for a decade,
581
00:15:48,947 --> 00:15:51,816
because I realized
I hadn't had my fun yet.
582
00:15:51,950 --> 00:15:53,551
So I went out and had
my fun for 10 years,
583
00:15:53,685 --> 00:15:54,819
and then got back into it.
584
00:15:54,887 --> 00:15:57,488
CHRIS: I saw it coming,
said no way, Dad,
585
00:15:57,622 --> 00:15:59,023
I'm not doing this [beep].
586
00:15:59,157 --> 00:16:01,092
But growing up in the business
and being a part of it,
587
00:16:01,226 --> 00:16:04,629
and being around it, I knew
this was what I wanted to do.
588
00:16:04,763 --> 00:16:05,563
GENE: We blew up
the FBI building.
589
00:16:05,697 --> 00:16:07,432
MIKE: What
movie was that?
590
00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:08,032
CHRIS: Arlington Road.
591
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:08,967
GENE: Arlington Road.
592
00:16:09,101 --> 00:16:11,369
CHRIS: It was 40 feet
tall, 80 feet wide.
593
00:16:11,437 --> 00:16:11,836
MIKE: Oh you...
594
00:16:11,970 --> 00:16:12,637
GENE: We built it.
595
00:16:12,771 --> 00:16:13,838
CHRIS: We built
the miniature.
596
00:16:13,972 --> 00:16:14,305
MIKE: Oh you built a
40-foot tall building.
597
00:16:14,373 --> 00:16:15,706
CHRIS: Yeah.
598
00:16:15,774 --> 00:16:16,441
GENE: Yeah, most
of our stuff is...
599
00:16:16,575 --> 00:16:17,575
ROBBIE: 80-foot wide.
600
00:16:17,709 --> 00:16:19,043
GENE: huge.
CHRIS: Yeah.
601
00:16:19,111 --> 00:16:19,977
GENE: Mothman Prophecies'
bridge was 170 feet across.
602
00:16:20,045 --> 00:16:20,444
MIKE: Oh the one that
fell in the water.
603
00:16:20,512 --> 00:16:21,446
CHRIS: Collapsed.
604
00:16:21,580 --> 00:16:22,447
GENE: It was 170 feet.
605
00:16:22,581 --> 00:16:23,247
CHRIS: Over our tank.
606
00:16:23,382 --> 00:16:24,382
MIKE: Wow.
607
00:16:24,516 --> 00:16:26,717
MIKE: These are like the biggest
moments in the movies,
608
00:16:26,785 --> 00:16:27,986
and their family's
the one doing it.
609
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,655
CHRIS: My brother would
build it, I would shoot it.
610
00:16:30,789 --> 00:16:32,390
I love shooting;
he loves building.
611
00:16:32,524 --> 00:16:33,658
Worked out perfect.
612
00:16:33,792 --> 00:16:36,260
GENE: Yeah, just
yin-yang, I guess.
613
00:16:36,395 --> 00:16:37,261
CHRIS: Yeah.
614
00:16:37,329 --> 00:16:38,529
MIKE: You've only got one
chance to get that
615
00:16:38,663 --> 00:16:39,730
shot where it collapses?
616
00:16:39,798 --> 00:16:40,465
GENE: No, took us
3 months to shoot.
617
00:16:40,599 --> 00:16:41,399
CHRIS: That particular.
618
00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:42,666
But if you blow up
the FBI building...
619
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:43,534
CHRIS & GENE & ROBBIE:
One shot.
620
00:16:43,668 --> 00:16:46,003
MIKE: No stress! No stress!
621
00:16:46,071 --> 00:16:48,873
CHRIS: If it was easy
everybody would be doing it.
622
00:16:48,941 --> 00:16:49,807
ROBBIE: everybody
would be doing it, yeah.
623
00:16:49,875 --> 00:16:50,608
Mike: [laughs] You
said you guys have a
624
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:51,275
whole box of pieces for this.
625
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:53,010
CHRIS: Yeah.
626
00:16:53,078 --> 00:16:53,411
GENE: Yeah, I think they're
right here, actually.
627
00:16:53,479 --> 00:16:53,944
CHRIS: Yep.
628
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:55,146
GENE: Here they are.
629
00:16:55,214 --> 00:16:57,081
MIKE: These guys go way beyond
just making the miniature,
630
00:16:57,149 --> 00:16:59,083
just making the train and
handing it over to the studio.
631
00:16:59,217 --> 00:17:01,753
MIKE: Did you build these cars
or did you use a commercial
632
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,888
product and you're
just painting them?
633
00:17:03,956 --> 00:17:05,356
CHRIS: These were
commercial product that we-
634
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,424
GENE: -repurposed.
635
00:17:06,492 --> 00:17:07,291
CHRIS: -repurposed.
636
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,826
MIKE: Okay.
637
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:09,960
MIKE: They're actually
shooting the piece,
638
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:11,495
they're shooting the train
going down the track,
639
00:17:11,563 --> 00:17:12,630
they're lighting it.
640
00:17:12,698 --> 00:17:13,497
MIKE: There's like some
sort of paper on here, so...
641
00:17:13,565 --> 00:17:14,298
GENE: We added texture.
642
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:15,900
MIKE: Okay.
643
00:17:16,034 --> 00:17:17,902
GENE: Did the paint work,
added the people inside.
644
00:17:17,970 --> 00:17:18,636
MIKE: They're shooting it
from far away so you
645
00:17:18,770 --> 00:17:20,638
can't see that it's a miniature.
646
00:17:20,772 --> 00:17:21,639
They're shooting it super tight,
647
00:17:21,773 --> 00:17:22,973
so you can't see
it's a miniature.
648
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:25,042
MIKE: So what would these
batteries have powered?
649
00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:26,177
Those lights that you put
on the ceiling right there?
650
00:17:26,311 --> 00:17:27,979
GENE: No, they power these
little people, so that they
651
00:17:28,113 --> 00:17:30,381
would wiggle a little bit,
to give it some motion.
652
00:17:30,449 --> 00:17:31,315
ROBBIE: Oh wow.
653
00:17:31,383 --> 00:17:32,316
MIKE: Okay.
654
00:17:32,451 --> 00:17:33,451
That's so cool.
655
00:17:33,585 --> 00:17:35,186
MIKE: They're creating the
piece that's in the scene,
656
00:17:35,254 --> 00:17:38,122
and then they're creating the
illusion of what that piece is.
657
00:17:38,256 --> 00:17:42,660
I mean, it goes way beyond just
them being artistic in a way
658
00:17:42,728 --> 00:17:44,662
that makes something like this.
659
00:17:44,796 --> 00:17:47,198
MIKE: Would you
guys sell this?
660
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,400
I think this would be a
great crossover piece.
661
00:17:49,534 --> 00:17:50,468
GENE: Not this one.
662
00:17:50,536 --> 00:17:52,003
MIKE: Yeah, I hear ya.
663
00:17:52,137 --> 00:17:53,804
MIKE: So what about all
this other stuff over here?
664
00:17:53,872 --> 00:17:55,473
I mean, obviously
this thing is like...
665
00:17:55,541 --> 00:17:56,474
ROBBIE: This thing is...
666
00:17:56,542 --> 00:17:57,875
MIKE: you know, the
elephant in the room,
667
00:17:58,009 --> 00:17:58,275
or the monkey in the
room, whatever this is.
668
00:17:58,343 --> 00:17:59,743
[chuckles]
669
00:17:59,812 --> 00:18:00,411
GENE: This is from
Fright Night 2.
670
00:18:00,545 --> 00:18:02,146
It's a vampire bat.
671
00:18:02,214 --> 00:18:02,880
CHRIS: It comes to an elevator
shaft, you look up and they
672
00:18:03,014 --> 00:18:04,682
bust through the elevator shaft,
673
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:06,350
it comes down and
its wings are...
674
00:18:06,485 --> 00:18:07,284
ROBBIE: Like this?
675
00:18:07,352 --> 00:18:08,219
CHRIS: Yeah, exactly.
Then it opens up.
676
00:18:08,287 --> 00:18:10,154
MIKE: What are you
guys thinking on this?
677
00:18:10,222 --> 00:18:13,291
GENE: This could get between 7
and 15,000 depending on who's...
678
00:18:13,425 --> 00:18:14,158
MIKE: Really!?
679
00:18:14,292 --> 00:18:15,359
GENE: who's
interested, you know.
680
00:18:15,494 --> 00:18:16,627
Some of these things really
mean things to other people.
681
00:18:16,761 --> 00:18:18,563
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.
MIKE: Absolutely.
682
00:18:18,697 --> 00:18:19,230
ROBBIE: Yeah.
GENE: Yeah.
683
00:18:19,298 --> 00:18:19,697
MIKE: Wait, here's more...
684
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:20,698
GENE: Doughboy...
685
00:18:20,832 --> 00:18:21,766
MIKE: Pillsbury
Doughboy stuff.
686
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:22,700
GENE: This is replacement
animation heads.
687
00:18:22,768 --> 00:18:25,636
These have all of the vowels and
688
00:18:25,704 --> 00:18:26,838
the consonants for him to talk.
689
00:18:26,972 --> 00:18:29,106
GENE: You didn't try to
animate the mouth.
690
00:18:29,174 --> 00:18:33,044
You made 16, 20 heads with
different mouth shapes, and so
691
00:18:33,178 --> 00:18:35,913
you just replace the head,
to get him to say something.
692
00:18:35,981 --> 00:18:37,448
GENE: When he needed to
make a, like a 'me',
693
00:18:37,582 --> 00:18:39,517
you start with an 'm'...
694
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:41,185
MIKE: Oh...
for him...
695
00:18:41,253 --> 00:18:42,586
GENE: you took the head off,
then you put the 'e' part on it.
696
00:18:42,654 --> 00:18:43,787
MIKE: Oh wow.
No kidding.
697
00:18:43,856 --> 00:18:44,321
With every little
movement of his mouth...
698
00:18:44,389 --> 00:18:45,456
ROBBIE: Every...
699
00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:46,257
GENE: Every little sound.
700
00:18:46,391 --> 00:18:47,124
CHRIS: Yeah.
701
00:18:47,192 --> 00:18:48,592
MIKE: you had
to change the head.
702
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:48,926
GENE: Replacement
animation.
703
00:18:49,060 --> 00:18:49,860
MIKE: Wow.
704
00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:50,594
MIKE: These are the heads
that allowed the
705
00:18:50,662 --> 00:18:51,862
Pillsbury Doughboy to speak.
706
00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:54,732
GENE: This is a series of,
you know... 16...
707
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,733
MIKE: So how many
heads are in here?
708
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:57,268
GENE: 12, 16,
something like that?
709
00:18:57,336 --> 00:18:58,869
MIKE: Wow.
710
00:18:58,937 --> 00:18:59,737
CHRIS: It's missing 2
from the collection.
711
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:00,471
ROBBIE: Don't know
where those went.
712
00:19:00,539 --> 00:19:01,873
CHRIS: No, I do, I...
713
00:19:02,007 --> 00:19:04,608
when I was younger, I
was in love and gave a
714
00:19:04,676 --> 00:19:06,343
Doughboy to a girlfriend.
715
00:19:06,411 --> 00:19:07,545
Mike: [laughs]
716
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:09,881
MIKE: The Pillsbury Doughboy
has been around for so long,
717
00:19:10,015 --> 00:19:12,016
he's really a part of the
American landscape.
718
00:19:12,084 --> 00:19:14,752
And what I mean by that
is just like, pop culture.
719
00:19:14,886 --> 00:19:16,687
Everyone knows the
Pillsbury Doughboy.
720
00:19:16,755 --> 00:19:17,888
MIKE: Here's where
he's laughing.
721
00:19:17,956 --> 00:19:20,424
GENE: And we also have
these Doughboy things.
722
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:21,893
MIKE: What are those?
723
00:19:22,027 --> 00:19:24,295
GENE: We occasionally
got to poke the Doughboy.
724
00:19:24,363 --> 00:19:25,696
MIKE: Yeah.
725
00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:26,364
ROBBIE: You had to
move that slowly?
726
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:27,298
GENE: That's fast.
727
00:19:27,432 --> 00:19:29,967
[group laughing]
728
00:19:30,035 --> 00:19:31,769
GENE: And so, because this
typically looked like
729
00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:34,171
it was a rubber
hand, they decided,
730
00:19:34,239 --> 00:19:36,907
okay we're just going to do it
with our kids and get real skin.
731
00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:38,375
MIKE: Were you the one,
was it your finger?
732
00:19:38,443 --> 00:19:39,843
GENE: Both of us.
733
00:19:39,912 --> 00:19:40,778
My first job in the
industry was poking
734
00:19:40,912 --> 00:19:42,847
the Pillsbury Doughboy
at 9 years old.
735
00:19:42,981 --> 00:19:45,716
And they set us up on
something like this,
736
00:19:45,784 --> 00:19:47,851
and we had to go one
frame at a time.
737
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,587
They take a picture,
they change the head,
738
00:19:49,655 --> 00:19:50,254
they'd animate the body...
739
00:19:50,322 --> 00:19:52,056
MIKE: Wow.
740
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:52,790
GENE: we'd have to move
another, so about 45 minutes
741
00:19:52,924 --> 00:19:54,592
it took us to go all the way in.
742
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:55,393
MIKE: What noise
did he make?
743
00:19:55,527 --> 00:19:57,929
[Hoo-hoo!]
[laughs]
744
00:19:58,063 --> 00:19:59,797
MIKE: The reason I'm drawn
to all of these heads is
745
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:01,666
because they're
connected to each other.
746
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,868
They're a variation on a theme.
747
00:20:04,002 --> 00:20:05,736
MIKE: Let me see how
these would even display.
748
00:20:05,804 --> 00:20:08,806
So there's 16
heads, and one body.
749
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:10,007
MIKE: There's almost a
complete set here.
750
00:20:10,075 --> 00:20:12,877
Now there's one missing,
due to the casualty of love.
751
00:20:13,011 --> 00:20:15,946
But other than that, I
mean, it's all together.
752
00:20:16,014 --> 00:20:16,881
MIKE: There's a lot of
collectors out there that
753
00:20:17,015 --> 00:20:18,416
collect advertising,
but this kind of takes
754
00:20:18,550 --> 00:20:19,750
it to the next level.
755
00:20:19,818 --> 00:20:21,619
I mean, that you have so
many in a box,
756
00:20:21,753 --> 00:20:23,688
and they're all different faces,
757
00:20:23,822 --> 00:20:25,756
then it becomes an
art installation.
758
00:20:25,890 --> 00:20:27,691
MIKE: What's the
difference between this
759
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:28,959
and Warhol's Campbell Soup Cans?
760
00:20:29,027 --> 00:20:32,763
You know, over and over
again, repetition, art,
761
00:20:32,831 --> 00:20:34,965
handmade, pop
culture, all of that.
762
00:20:35,033 --> 00:20:37,901
This is the Pillsbury Doughboy's
head over and over
763
00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:40,037
again with different
movements of his mouth.
764
00:20:40,105 --> 00:20:43,841
The way they're displayed
right now, it's already art.
765
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:45,309
MIKE: What are you
guys thinking on this?
766
00:20:45,443 --> 00:20:47,011
CHRIS: 2,500?
767
00:20:50,115 --> 00:20:53,517
I know each individually it
can be lotted out for
768
00:20:53,652 --> 00:20:54,852
a lot more money than that.
769
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,587
But it's important for
us that it stays...
770
00:20:56,655 --> 00:20:57,655
MIKE: It has to stay together.
771
00:20:57,789 --> 00:20:58,322
CHRIS: And it has
to stay together.
772
00:20:58,390 --> 00:20:59,990
ROBBIE: Yeah.
773
00:21:00,058 --> 00:21:01,192
CHRIS: And I, and the
condition, he's got a little
774
00:21:01,326 --> 00:21:04,528
bit of a pug nose, there's a
little bit of dent on his cheek.
775
00:21:04,663 --> 00:21:06,998
MIKE: eye right here. 22.
776
00:21:09,401 --> 00:21:10,468
GENE: 2,250?
777
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:11,402
Mike: [laughs] Alright.
778
00:21:11,470 --> 00:21:14,605
Ugh! Alright, ugh!
779
00:21:14,673 --> 00:21:16,140
CHRIS: We love
it, we want-
780
00:21:16,274 --> 00:21:16,807
MIKE: I mean, I never thought
I'd get that excited about...
781
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:17,808
GROUP: Pillsbury
Doughboy.
782
00:21:17,942 --> 00:21:20,010
MIKE: They're handmade,
they're iconic.
783
00:21:20,078 --> 00:21:22,480
The way they're displayed
transcends the commercial.
784
00:21:22,614 --> 00:21:24,081
It's an incredible piece.
785
00:21:24,215 --> 00:21:25,949
MIKE: This seems like a fun
box, what else is in there?
786
00:21:26,018 --> 00:21:28,886
GENE: Oh, oh, unfortunately
it's deteriorating.
787
00:21:29,020 --> 00:21:31,689
But this is Gremlins,
from the movie, Gremlins.
788
00:21:31,823 --> 00:21:32,623
ROBBIE: Oh from the
movie, Gremlins?
789
00:21:32,691 --> 00:21:34,491
MIKE: Gremlins,
huge movie.
790
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:35,426
GENE: This is one of the-
791
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,894
ROBBIE: Oh look at that.
792
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:37,428
GENE: There's one stop
motion shot in Gremlins.
793
00:21:37,562 --> 00:21:38,962
MIKE: Can I touch him?
794
00:21:39,031 --> 00:21:40,297
Oh you can't touch him,
he's going to fall apart.
795
00:21:40,365 --> 00:21:40,698
GENE: Yeah.
796
00:21:40,832 --> 00:21:41,365
ROBBIE: Ahh...
797
00:21:41,433 --> 00:21:42,433
MIKE: You know-
798
00:21:42,567 --> 00:21:43,500
GENE: If we each have-
799
00:21:43,568 --> 00:21:44,301
MIKE: It looks like, it
looks like a little bat.
800
00:21:44,369 --> 00:21:45,235
GENE: Yeah.
801
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:45,969
MIKE: It doesn't really
even have a face.
802
00:21:46,038 --> 00:21:47,638
ROBBIE: Well
it's smashed now.
803
00:21:47,772 --> 00:21:48,372
MIKE: Oh I know,
it's just melted.
804
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,307
But it's so cool.
805
00:21:49,441 --> 00:21:50,841
CHRIS: Gremlins, the
family that one shot.
806
00:21:50,975 --> 00:21:52,777
GENE: Spike's in the
middle of the street,
807
00:21:52,911 --> 00:21:55,112
and he starts walking
into the light.
808
00:21:55,246 --> 00:21:59,116
And he turns around and goes
like this, and then 36 of them
809
00:21:59,184 --> 00:22:01,385
start walking out into the
light, jumping over each other.
810
00:22:01,453 --> 00:22:02,920
ROBBIE: Yeah. Wow.
811
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:04,655
CHRIS: We kind of know
what the value of those
812
00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:06,324
puppets are, in good condition.
813
00:22:06,458 --> 00:22:09,927
That puppet is...
814
00:22:10,061 --> 00:22:12,329
MIKE: What's this thing
worth, in that condition?
815
00:22:12,397 --> 00:22:12,730
CHRIS: 100 bucks
816
00:22:12,798 --> 00:22:13,397
GENE: Yeah.
817
00:22:13,531 --> 00:22:14,532
MIKE: I'll take it.
818
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:15,332
ROBBIE: I was going to say.
819
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,066
[group laughing]
820
00:22:16,134 --> 00:22:17,334
MIKE: Yeah, he
was an extra,
821
00:22:17,402 --> 00:22:20,671
he was in the background, it's
not in the greatest condition,
822
00:22:20,739 --> 00:22:21,672
but this is one of the original
823
00:22:21,806 --> 00:22:23,007
Gremlins from the
Gremlins movie.
824
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,684
♪ ♪ ♪
825
00:22:33,752 --> 00:22:35,285
MIKE: Let me see
the zeppelin, man.
826
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:36,153
That's cool.
827
00:22:36,221 --> 00:22:36,820
Do you remember
where this was from?
828
00:22:36,888 --> 00:22:38,622
CHRIS: The
Winds of War.
829
00:22:38,690 --> 00:22:39,623
GENE: Oh yeah,
there you go.
830
00:22:39,758 --> 00:22:40,491
CHRIS: TV series.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
831
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:41,559
GENE: The Winds of War.
832
00:22:41,693 --> 00:22:42,960
MIKE: Wow. What are you
thinking on this zeppelin?
833
00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:43,694
GENE: Which is one of those,
those Emmys up there
834
00:22:43,762 --> 00:22:44,561
is from that, Winds of War.
835
00:22:44,629 --> 00:22:47,298
MIKE: Ah no!
And Oscars!
836
00:22:47,432 --> 00:22:48,832
Oh my gosh...
837
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:50,568
MIKE: I've been watching
the Academy Awards
838
00:22:50,702 --> 00:22:51,969
since I was a little kid.
839
00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:55,039
So to actually be standing
here in a house in the
840
00:22:55,173 --> 00:22:58,242
Hollywood Hills, holding one
of these, is unbelievable.
841
00:22:58,777 --> 00:22:59,710
GENE: This is for
The Time Machine.
842
00:22:59,778 --> 00:23:01,311
MIKE: So what
year is that then?
843
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:01,712
GENE: 1961.
844
00:23:01,780 --> 00:23:02,980
ROBBIE: '61.
845
00:23:03,048 --> 00:23:04,381
That was one of my favorite
movies of all time.
846
00:23:04,449 --> 00:23:05,383
GENE: It's great.
847
00:23:05,517 --> 00:23:07,117
ROBBIE: I mean, oh my
God, it was incredible.
848
00:23:07,185 --> 00:23:10,521
MIKE: This is the pinnacle of
the motion picture industry,
849
00:23:10,589 --> 00:23:11,989
and their family has 2.
850
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:13,857
ROBBIE: Ha!
851
00:23:13,925 --> 00:23:14,858
GENE: And then from
'91 for Terminator 2.
852
00:23:14,926 --> 00:23:16,394
MIKE: God, they've got
some weight to them.
853
00:23:16,528 --> 00:23:18,129
GENE: Grandpa, Dad.
854
00:23:18,263 --> 00:23:19,730
MIKE: Look at, look at where
they've been held, you can see,
855
00:23:19,864 --> 00:23:20,598
look at how wore they
are right there,
856
00:23:20,732 --> 00:23:21,932
where they've been grabbed.
857
00:23:22,066 --> 00:23:24,001
MIKE: The piece itself, it
just has such energy.
858
00:23:24,135 --> 00:23:25,736
CHRIS: There's only 2 families
in Hollywood that have 3

00:23:25,870 --> 00:23:28,605
generations of Academy
Award winners.
860
00:23:28,673 --> 00:23:30,941
The Coppolas and the Hustons.
861
00:23:31,009 --> 00:23:33,610
CHRIS: We would love to
add the Warrens to that.
862
00:23:33,678 --> 00:23:35,613
CHRIS: Let's
head upstairs.
863
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:37,080
MIKE: That's
killer. Oh wow!
864
00:23:37,149 --> 00:23:39,683
What's going on with Herman
Munster's head over there.
865
00:23:39,751 --> 00:23:40,885
CHRIS: It's actually
Fred Gwynne.
866
00:23:41,019 --> 00:23:43,287
You know, he was known
as Herman Munster, but...
867
00:23:43,355 --> 00:23:44,021
MIKE: Yeah.
868
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:44,755
CHRIS: He was
in Pet Sematary.
869
00:23:44,889 --> 00:23:46,023
MIKE: I'm a Pet
Sematary fan.
870
00:23:46,157 --> 00:23:49,159
But what helped make that
movie for me, was Fred Gwynne.
871
00:23:49,227 --> 00:23:52,963
I grew up with Herman Munster,
so when I see the head across
872
00:23:53,097 --> 00:23:54,565
the room, that's the first
thing I'm asking about.
873
00:23:54,633 --> 00:23:55,433
ROBBIE: Look at that thing.
874
00:23:55,567 --> 00:23:56,834
CHRIS: It was a one-off.
875
00:23:56,902 --> 00:23:58,769
There is not another
one of those around.
876
00:23:58,837 --> 00:24:02,573
And it was to be able to
melt his face as
877
00:24:02,707 --> 00:24:03,841
he rises up into the camera.
878
00:24:03,975 --> 00:24:05,976
MIKE: Why would you
father have kept this?
879
00:24:06,044 --> 00:24:07,912
What would-why would this
be significant to him?
880
00:24:08,046 --> 00:24:09,313
GENE: I don't think it
was significant to him.
881
00:24:09,381 --> 00:24:10,314
MIKE: Yeah?
882
00:24:10,448 --> 00:24:12,049
ROBBIE: Yeah?
883
00:24:12,183 --> 00:24:12,516
MIKE: I mean, it's kind of
an odd thing to have in your
884
00:24:12,650 --> 00:24:13,650
bedroom. [laughs]
885
00:24:13,718 --> 00:24:14,651
GENE: Look we,
we collected...
886
00:24:14,719 --> 00:24:15,653
we didn't really collect things,
887
00:24:15,787 --> 00:24:17,321
we just didn't throw
things away.
888
00:24:17,389 --> 00:24:18,189
ROBBIE: away.
889
00:24:18,323 --> 00:24:19,323
MIKE: What do you
got to have for this?
890
00:24:19,457 --> 00:24:20,390
CHRIS: 150 bucks?
891
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:20,858
MIKE: I'm into it.
892
00:24:20,926 --> 00:24:21,525
CHRIS: Alright.
893
00:24:21,593 --> 00:24:22,593
MIKE: I'm
into it, man.
894
00:24:22,727 --> 00:24:24,128
GENE: Alright,
thank you. Done.
895
00:24:24,262 --> 00:24:25,262
MIKE: It was one of my favorite
shows from when I was a kid.
896
00:24:25,396 --> 00:24:26,330
GENE: Done.
897
00:24:26,464 --> 00:24:27,531
ROBBIE: So hey, I got to
ask about this large semi.
898
00:24:27,665 --> 00:24:30,801
CHRIS: It's from a TV show,
but it is already offered to
899
00:24:30,869 --> 00:24:34,338
a family member, so
it's not for sale.
900
00:24:34,406 --> 00:24:35,005
ROBBIE: Okay.
901
00:24:35,139 --> 00:24:35,739
MIKE: What's
the statue here?
902
00:24:35,807 --> 00:24:36,607
GENE: From The
Expendables.
903
00:24:36,675 --> 00:24:37,608
MIKE: What's
the casket from?
904
00:24:37,742 --> 00:24:39,877
CHRIS: Sleepy
Hollow. TV show.
905
00:24:40,011 --> 00:24:41,412
ROBBIE: What's this
architectural piece from?
906
00:24:41,546 --> 00:24:42,813
GENE: Winds of War.
907
00:24:42,881 --> 00:24:43,681
MIKE: Even though
they keep telling me,
908
00:24:43,815 --> 00:24:44,949
you know, hey we worked on this,
909
00:24:45,083 --> 00:24:46,950
we worked on that, it's
like hearing it for the
910
00:24:47,018 --> 00:24:49,753
first time, every time they
say another project.
911
00:24:49,821 --> 00:24:50,621
MIKE: Look at that,
what's that from?
912
00:24:50,689 --> 00:24:52,823
GENE: The Man
From Atlantis.
913
00:24:52,957 --> 00:24:54,892
MIKE: I remember the show
Man From Atlantis,
914
00:24:55,026 --> 00:24:57,828
and I remember this ship
going through the water
915
00:24:57,962 --> 00:24:59,964
and the way he would
swim was pretty funny.
916
00:25:00,098 --> 00:25:02,299
CHRIS: This was put on wire,
you smoke up the room...
917
00:25:02,367 --> 00:25:03,434
MIKE: Yeah.
918
00:25:03,568 --> 00:25:04,301
CHRIS: dry for wet.
919
00:25:04,435 --> 00:25:05,503
ROBBIE: Yeah.
920
00:25:05,637 --> 00:25:06,970
CHRIS: And then you just moved
it along with smoke and it
921
00:25:07,038 --> 00:25:07,971
would look like it was traveling
through the ocean.
922
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:08,639
GENE: Aimed at, aimed at
that wall right there.
923
00:25:08,773 --> 00:25:09,773
CHRIS: Aimed
at that wall.
924
00:25:09,841 --> 00:25:11,041
MIKE: What do you
guys value that at?
925
00:25:11,109 --> 00:25:14,044
CHRIS: 10 grand, minimum.
Because it was in the actual
926
00:25:14,178 --> 00:25:18,249
opening sequence, and this
was shown every single week.
927
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:19,850
MIKE: Wow.
928
00:25:19,984 --> 00:25:22,986
I can appreciate it, but
I'm not a player at 10K.
929
00:25:23,054 --> 00:25:24,722
CHRIS: Let me show you some
more stuff in this room.
930
00:25:24,856 --> 00:25:26,390
MIKE: Alright Robbie,
you got that?
931
00:25:26,524 --> 00:25:27,124
GENE: I'll take it.
932
00:25:27,258 --> 00:25:28,058
ROBBIE: I got-oh
yeah, yeah,
933
00:25:28,126 --> 00:25:29,260
I don't want to be in
charge of that.
934
00:25:29,394 --> 00:25:30,193
GENE: Hoah!
935
00:25:30,262 --> 00:25:31,261
ROBBIE: Well yeah,
don't be doing that.
936
00:25:31,329 --> 00:25:32,596
MIKE: Let me see that
Impala, where's that from?
937
00:25:32,664 --> 00:25:34,064
CHRIS: Mothman
Prophecies.
938
00:25:34,132 --> 00:25:35,132
MIKE: This would have been
on the bridge, the same way
939
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,268
that that truck was on the
bridge that we bought?
940
00:25:37,402 --> 00:25:38,135
CHRIS: Yeah.
941
00:25:38,203 --> 00:25:39,336
This was made from
scratch, by hand.
942
00:25:39,404 --> 00:25:40,337
MIKE: No way.
943
00:25:40,405 --> 00:25:41,939
CHRIS: Sculpted.
944
00:25:42,007 --> 00:25:43,607
MIKE: This is a Chevy
Impala from that movie,
945
00:25:43,741 --> 00:25:45,275
that they made from scratch.
946
00:25:45,343 --> 00:25:47,144
MIKE: Wow.
947
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:49,146
CHRIS: This is one of, sort of
the hero cars, it was parked
948
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,215
next to Laura Linney's Jeep,
which is right there, actually.
949
00:25:52,284 --> 00:25:53,550
The Jeep-
950
00:25:53,618 --> 00:25:54,285
MIKE: Noo! That's the Jeep?
951
00:25:54,419 --> 00:25:55,286
CHRIS: The Jeep.
952
00:25:55,420 --> 00:25:57,154
MIKE: No way!
953
00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:59,623
CHRIS: And the cool thing about
this is, we made 2 of these,
954
00:25:59,691 --> 00:26:00,357
because if one broke down...
955
00:26:00,425 --> 00:26:01,892
MIKE: Yeah, yeah.
956
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,893
CHRIS: it was like
the star of the show.
957
00:26:02,961 --> 00:26:04,294
That's supposed to be
Laura Linney in there.
958
00:26:04,362 --> 00:26:06,029
MIKE: Okay.
959
00:26:06,097 --> 00:26:07,297
CHRIS: So when you shoot
this stuff relatively wide...
960
00:26:07,365 --> 00:26:08,165
MIKE: Yeah.
961
00:26:08,299 --> 00:26:09,567
CHRIS: You just need
a figure in there.
962
00:26:09,701 --> 00:26:10,434
MIKE: I love
both of these.
963
00:26:10,502 --> 00:26:12,102
CHRIS: The Impalas-
964
00:26:12,236 --> 00:26:13,303
MIKE: Have you guys-have you
guys thought about anything
965
00:26:13,371 --> 00:26:15,505
like on these, what would
you-what you'd have to have?
966
00:26:15,574 --> 00:26:16,573
Like the Impala's nuts!
967
00:26:16,641 --> 00:26:17,641
CHRIS: The Jeep we're not
selling because it's a-
968
00:26:17,775 --> 00:26:19,977
it's a big...
this piece, yeah.
969
00:26:20,045 --> 00:26:21,645
MIKE: This would have been
in more than one shot.
970
00:26:21,713 --> 00:26:23,113
CHRIS: Oh yeah, multiple shots.
971
00:26:23,247 --> 00:26:25,048
MIKE: If you're a Chevy guy,
if you're an Impala guy, movie
972
00:26:25,116 --> 00:26:27,651
prop guy, [laughs] I mean,
this checks all the boxes.
973
00:26:27,785 --> 00:26:29,519
CHRIS: This one
would be a little
974
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:30,454
bit more expensive than...
975
00:26:30,588 --> 00:26:31,455
MIKE: I'm sure, I'm
sure, than the truck.
976
00:26:31,589 --> 00:26:32,256
CHRIS: than the truck.
977
00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:33,257
MIKE: Yeah.
978
00:26:33,391 --> 00:26:34,057
CHRIS: Um...
979
00:26:34,125 --> 00:26:34,725
MIKE: This is,
this is... man,
980
00:26:34,859 --> 00:26:35,459
this is it right there, boy.
981
00:26:35,593 --> 00:26:36,660
CHRIS: It
would make-
982
00:26:36,794 --> 00:26:37,794
MIKE: It's a great
size, it's just,
983
00:26:37,862 --> 00:26:39,263
it's got everything
going for it, man.
984
00:26:39,397 --> 00:26:41,131
CHRIS: Yeah.
985
00:26:41,265 --> 00:26:42,399
Actually, in the movie, one of
the guys gets out of this car.
986
00:26:42,467 --> 00:26:44,868
You see him get out, run away,
and when we come back to it,
987
00:26:45,003 --> 00:26:47,604
it's our miniature,
things start to go crazy,
988
00:26:47,672 --> 00:26:48,338
and then it falls down...
989
00:26:48,406 --> 00:26:49,807
in the water.
990
00:26:49,941 --> 00:26:50,340
MIKE: What would you
feel comfortable at?
991
00:26:50,408 --> 00:26:51,008
CHRIS: 1,000.
992
00:26:51,542 --> 00:26:53,410
MIKE: I'm doing it.
993
00:26:53,478 --> 00:26:53,944
CHRIS: It's yours.
994
00:26:54,078 --> 00:26:54,078
MIKE: I love it, man.
995
00:26:58,817 --> 00:27:06,817
♪ ♪ ♪
996
00:27:06,891 --> 00:27:07,891
ROBBIE: Hey, I wanted
to ask about this.
997
00:27:08,026 --> 00:27:09,826
GENE: United Federation
of Planets, it's a...
998
00:27:09,894 --> 00:27:13,697
Star Trek prop from
the original series.
999
00:27:13,831 --> 00:27:14,431
ROBBIE: From the
original TV series.
1000
00:27:14,499 --> 00:27:15,899
GENE: Series, yeah.
1001
00:27:16,034 --> 00:27:17,034
ROBBIE: Science Fiction
has been around forever,
1002
00:27:17,168 --> 00:27:20,037
but Star Trek actually
cemented it into pop culture.
1003
00:27:20,105 --> 00:27:23,307
Anywhere in the world, people
go crazy over Star Trek.
1004
00:27:23,975 --> 00:27:26,109
ROBBIE: So this was
what, like a bomb or...
1005
00:27:26,177 --> 00:27:29,580
GENE: Just some energy field
thing that they had on set.
1006
00:27:29,714 --> 00:27:30,981
ROBBIE: sat next to the wall.
1007
00:27:31,049 --> 00:27:31,849
GENE: There was probably
a number of them lined up.
1008
00:27:31,983 --> 00:27:33,517
GENE: Our grandfather
Gene Warren Sr.
1009
00:27:33,585 --> 00:27:35,986
Build the first Starship
1010
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:37,988
Enterprise and a lot of
the props for the 2 pilots.
1011
00:27:38,122 --> 00:27:41,725
CHRIS: Main-mainly because
he was already working on
1012
00:27:41,793 --> 00:27:44,995
The Outer Limits,
The Twilight Zone.
1013
00:27:45,129 --> 00:27:46,797
CHRIS: He was the go-to guy
for this type of stuff.
1014
00:27:46,865 --> 00:27:48,932
ROBBIE: The impact
that this family had
1015
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,667
on early special effects in
the movie industry
1016
00:27:50,735 --> 00:27:53,404
and television is mind-blowing.
1017
00:27:53,938 --> 00:27:55,939
ROBBIE: So what kind
of value's on this?
1018
00:27:56,074 --> 00:27:59,743
GENE: Yeah maybe 500
bucks, maybe 700, I mean...
1019
00:27:59,877 --> 00:28:01,878
ROBBIE: Star Trek
collectors, heh-heh,
1020
00:28:01,946 --> 00:28:03,747
I mean... you can't
throw a dart at a wall
1021
00:28:03,881 --> 00:28:05,482
and not find a Star
Trek collector.
1022
00:28:05,616 --> 00:28:06,684
That's simple as that.
1023
00:28:06,818 --> 00:28:08,986
So you always have
to buy the stuff.
1024
00:28:09,420 --> 00:28:10,287
ROBBIE: 400.
1025
00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:11,621
GENE: Yeah.
1026
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:12,556
ROBBIE: Alright,
appreciate it.
1027
00:28:12,624 --> 00:28:13,090
GENE: Thank
you so much.
1028
00:28:13,224 --> 00:28:13,891
ROBBIE:
Thank you.
1029
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:14,891
MIKE: What is the
Airstream from?
1030
00:28:14,959 --> 00:28:17,427
CHRIS: Johnny Mnemonic.
From 1995. He's...
1031
00:28:17,495 --> 00:28:18,428
MIKE: Keanu Reeves.
1032
00:28:18,496 --> 00:28:19,897
CHRIS: Keanu Reeves.
1033
00:28:20,031 --> 00:28:22,566
That's the movie where he
was carrying gigabytes
1034
00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:23,901
of information in his head.
1035
00:28:24,035 --> 00:28:26,704
MIKE: Johnny Mnemonic,
data entry into the brain
1036
00:28:26,838 --> 00:28:28,638
is a little bit of
a cult classic.
1037
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:31,442
MIKE: I love the
John Wick stuff.
1038
00:28:31,576 --> 00:28:32,976
CHRIS: Oh he's great.
1039
00:28:33,111 --> 00:28:33,510
MIKE: And-and I love the
fact that he's got his own
1040
00:28:33,644 --> 00:28:34,978
motorcycle company.
1041
00:28:35,046 --> 00:28:36,913
MIKE: I'm looking at this
piece because I'm more of
1042
00:28:36,981 --> 00:28:39,450
an Airstream guy than a
Johnny Mnemonic guy.
1043
00:28:39,584 --> 00:28:40,317
MIKE: What's, what's the-
1044
00:28:40,451 --> 00:28:41,651
CHRIS: 200 bucks.
1045
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,319
MIKE: Alright,
I'm doing that.
1046
00:28:42,453 --> 00:28:43,453
CHRIS: Alright.
1047
00:28:43,521 --> 00:28:44,321
MIKE: I'm doing that.
1048
00:28:44,455 --> 00:28:44,788
Here, put that down
there in the pile.
1049
00:28:44,856 --> 00:28:45,789
CHRIS: Yep, yep.
1050
00:28:45,923 --> 00:28:46,590
GENE: These are original
storyboards from a
1051
00:28:46,658 --> 00:28:48,525
movie called Black Sunday.
1052
00:28:48,593 --> 00:28:49,660
A Frankenheimer film.
1053
00:28:49,794 --> 00:28:50,527
ROBBIE: I-I
remember that movie.
1054
00:28:50,661 --> 00:28:51,862
GENE: Yeah,
in the '70s.
1055
00:28:51,930 --> 00:28:53,530
ROBBIE: Storyboards
provide structure and
1056
00:28:53,598 --> 00:28:54,732
direction in any movie.
1057
00:28:54,866 --> 00:28:56,667
ROBBIE: Ship is in
reverse direction.
1058
00:28:56,801 --> 00:28:57,334
GENE: Pretty
unique storyboards.
1059
00:28:57,402 --> 00:28:58,402
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.
1060
00:28:58,536 --> 00:28:59,669
GENE: Look at that.
1061
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:01,004
ROBBIE: Oh they
are very unique.
1062
00:29:01,139 --> 00:29:02,473
ROBBIE: 5 different scenes,
Goodyear blimp crashing
1063
00:29:02,607 --> 00:29:04,207
into the freakin' ground.
1064
00:29:04,275 --> 00:29:04,875
Amazing.
1065
00:29:04,943 --> 00:29:06,276
ROBBIE: What kind of value?
1066
00:29:06,410 --> 00:29:08,345
GENE: Uh...
1067
00:29:08,413 --> 00:29:09,479
500 bucks maybe?
1068
00:29:09,547 --> 00:29:10,814
ROBBIE: I like them, I mean,
they're one-off pieces.
1069
00:29:10,948 --> 00:29:12,750
They'd be incredibly
framed up together.
1070
00:29:12,884 --> 00:29:14,284
GENE: Yeah, framed
up in one big thing.
1071
00:29:14,418 --> 00:29:15,085
ROBBIE: Yeah.
1072
00:29:15,219 --> 00:29:16,419
ROBBIE: It said
Goodyear on it.
1073
00:29:16,488 --> 00:29:17,755
I collect gas and oil, and to
find a piece that says Goodyear
1074
00:29:17,889 --> 00:29:20,624
on it, and is a
movie piece, come on.
1075
00:29:20,758 --> 00:29:22,292
ROBBIE: It's a
crossover for me.
1076
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,227
ROBBIE: 400.
1077
00:29:23,361 --> 00:29:23,693
GENE: 400.
1078
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:24,294
ROBBIE: Yeah.
1079
00:29:24,362 --> 00:29:25,496
GENE: Yeah.
1080
00:29:25,630 --> 00:29:26,296
ROBBIE: Alright, doing it.
1081
00:29:26,430 --> 00:29:27,097
GENE: Thank you.
1082
00:29:27,165 --> 00:29:27,764
ROBBIE: Thank
you. Thank you.
1083
00:29:27,832 --> 00:29:28,232
GENE: Thank
you so much.
1084
00:29:28,366 --> 00:29:29,833
MIKE: Ahh!
1085
00:29:29,967 --> 00:29:30,701
MIKE: This is a 1930s
flatbed truck, man.
1086
00:29:30,835 --> 00:29:32,102
It's got the look,
it's very cool.
1087
00:29:32,236 --> 00:29:35,239
And the best thing it's got
going on, is its overall size.
1088
00:29:35,373 --> 00:29:36,240
It's huge.
1089
00:29:36,374 --> 00:29:39,843
CHRIS: This is from a TV
show called Cold Case.
1090
00:29:39,911 --> 00:29:41,645
They do a flashback,
they were trying to
1091
00:29:41,713 --> 00:29:42,379
figure out how the person died.
1092
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:43,713
MIKE: Okay, okay.
1093
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:45,048
CHRIS: So this
went off a bridge.
1094
00:29:45,116 --> 00:29:46,316
MIKE: This is like one of those
murder death series.
1095
00:29:46,450 --> 00:29:47,918
CHRIS: Exactly.
1096
00:29:48,052 --> 00:29:49,319
And it went off a bridge,
and landed in the water
1097
00:29:49,387 --> 00:29:50,320
and it'd sink.
1098
00:29:50,388 --> 00:29:50,854
MIKE: Oh yeah.
1099
00:29:50,988 --> 00:29:51,855
Let's see this thing.
1100
00:29:51,923 --> 00:29:53,590
CHRIS: So they-it was
commissioned to us,
1101
00:29:53,724 --> 00:29:54,725
to build and shoot this and...
1102
00:29:54,859 --> 00:29:55,525
MIKE: Ugh...
These are transportation-
1103
00:29:55,593 --> 00:29:57,060
related collectibles.
1104
00:29:57,128 --> 00:30:00,597
The fact that they're handmade
and done so well is huge.
1105
00:30:00,731 --> 00:30:02,800
I know that market for these.
1106
00:30:02,934 --> 00:30:03,801
MIKE: What are you
thinking on this, man?
1107
00:30:03,935 --> 00:30:05,335
CHRIS: A little bit
more than this one.
1108
00:30:05,403 --> 00:30:06,937
MIKE: Shhewww...
1109
00:30:07,005 --> 00:30:09,139
CHRIS: 1,200? Cold Case
never did miniatures.
1110
00:30:09,207 --> 00:30:12,142
MIKE: Then you put on top of
that that they're connected to
1111
00:30:12,276 --> 00:30:16,079
a series or a movie, and it
does take it to the next level.
1112
00:30:16,214 --> 00:30:17,614
MIKE: Well, are you talking
about a little bit more just
1113
00:30:17,748 --> 00:30:19,683
because it's a larger piece and
1114
00:30:19,751 --> 00:30:21,418
it's from an earlier
time period?
1115
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:22,686
CHRIS: Because it...
1116
00:30:22,820 --> 00:30:24,020
MIKE: Because the thing is, if
you're talking about iconic and
1117
00:30:24,088 --> 00:30:25,689
something that somebody
would recognize from a show,
1118
00:30:25,823 --> 00:30:28,491
this would probably
not be obviously
1119
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,359
as significant as that.
1120
00:30:29,493 --> 00:30:32,095
CHRIS: True, true.
1121
00:30:32,163 --> 00:30:33,764
MIKE: When I'm looking at price
and thinking about price,
1122
00:30:33,898 --> 00:30:36,099
I'm thinking about both
of those things.
1123
00:30:36,167 --> 00:30:38,769
MIKE: I'm just looking at it
from a perspective of, okay,
1124
00:30:38,903 --> 00:30:40,904
this is from a movie
with Richard Gere,
1125
00:30:40,972 --> 00:30:44,041
this is from a TV show
that's on late night.
1126
00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:45,709
MIKE: That's why I pointed
out to him, it's like, hey,
1127
00:30:45,777 --> 00:30:47,644
this is a TV show,
this is a movie.
1128
00:30:47,712 --> 00:30:49,312
What can we do on the price?
1129
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:50,647
CHRIS: 750.
1130
00:30:50,715 --> 00:30:51,515
MIKE: Alright,
I'm doing it.
1131
00:30:51,649 --> 00:30:53,049
CHRIS: Done.
It's gone.
1132
00:30:53,117 --> 00:30:54,918
MIKE: Alright, I got, I can't
wait to show Robbie this.
1133
00:30:54,986 --> 00:30:56,720
CHRIS: We love those
things, but you know what,
1134
00:30:56,788 --> 00:30:58,589
we don't want to
store them anymore.
1135
00:30:58,723 --> 00:30:59,789
Let them go to a better home.
1136
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:01,925
GENE: A lot of the larger
props we've been
1137
00:31:01,993 --> 00:31:03,994
talking about are about 20
minutes up the road.
1138
00:31:04,128 --> 00:31:05,596
Why don't you guys grab your
car and meet us back here
1139
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:06,663
and we'll drive up together.
1140
00:31:06,797 --> 00:31:07,330
MIKE: We'll follow
you up there?
1141
00:31:07,398 --> 00:31:08,398
GENE: Yeah sure.
1142
00:31:08,532 --> 00:31:08,999
MIKE: Alright, man.
1143
00:31:13,671 --> 00:31:19,142
♪ ♪ ♪
1144
00:31:19,277 --> 00:31:20,944
MIKE: Alright, look at all the
stuff outside that container.
1145
00:31:21,012 --> 00:31:22,746
There you go, Robbie,
there's a jet ski for ya.
1146
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,281
ROBBIE: No, I don't
want a jet ski.
1147
00:31:24,349 --> 00:31:25,615
MIKE: Woo.
1148
00:31:25,683 --> 00:31:26,283
CHRIS: The
Warren Backlot.
1149
00:31:26,417 --> 00:31:27,284
ROBBIE: Man...
1150
00:31:27,418 --> 00:31:28,618
MIKE: Whaddup!
1151
00:31:28,686 --> 00:31:29,753
ROBBIE: You guys
weren't kidding.
1152
00:31:29,887 --> 00:31:30,487
MIKE: What do you
want to show us first?
1153
00:31:30,955 --> 00:31:32,889
GENE: Careful with the
rattlesnakes, okay?
1154
00:31:32,957 --> 00:31:34,992
CHRIS: Oh we got a bunch
of molds around here.
1155
00:31:36,627 --> 00:31:37,894
MIKE: This is pretty cool.
1156
00:31:37,962 --> 00:31:39,429
CHRIS: Land of the Lost.
That's, that's Emily.
1157
00:31:39,563 --> 00:31:40,697
ROBBIE: That's Emily.
1158
00:31:40,831 --> 00:31:41,965
MIKE: What do you
value this one at?
1159
00:31:42,033 --> 00:31:44,034
CHRIS: This is probably
something we'd hold onto,
1160
00:31:44,102 --> 00:31:45,035
because if we're going to
keep the dinosaurs for now,
1161
00:31:45,103 --> 00:31:46,703
we want to keep the whole
collection together.
1162
00:31:46,837 --> 00:31:47,905
MIKE: I mean,
that's a, that's...
1163
00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:49,372
GENE: Yeah, this is kind
of special to me, even.
1164
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:50,374
MIKE: Absolutely.
1165
00:31:50,508 --> 00:31:51,107
MIKE: What's this?
1166
00:31:51,175 --> 00:31:52,108
Look at his hair on the back.
1167
00:31:52,176 --> 00:31:52,509
CHRIS: Is that Cha-Ka,
from Land of the Lost?
1168
00:31:52,643 --> 00:31:53,243
It is Cha-Ka.
1169
00:31:53,377 --> 00:31:54,511
MIKE: Wow.
1170
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:55,379
MIKE: I love the molds.
1171
00:31:55,513 --> 00:31:56,380
MIKE: What's this?
1172
00:31:56,514 --> 00:31:57,981
CHRIS: Space suit.
1173
00:31:58,049 --> 00:31:59,516
That's from Outer Limits,
that our grandfather did.
1174
00:31:59,650 --> 00:32:01,785
GENE: Late '50s, early '60s.
1175
00:32:01,853 --> 00:32:03,653
MIKE: To be able to
look through these
1176
00:32:03,721 --> 00:32:04,655
molds and have the brothers tell
1177
00:32:04,789 --> 00:32:07,457
us what each one
is, is incredible.
1178
00:32:07,525 --> 00:32:08,525
ROBBIE: What
is this?
1179
00:32:08,659 --> 00:32:09,659
CHRIS: This
is a mouse.
1180
00:32:09,727 --> 00:32:10,660
GENE: This is an
old Mickey Mouse.
1181
00:32:10,728 --> 00:32:11,662
ROBBIE: Oh it's
Mickey Mouse.
1182
00:32:11,796 --> 00:32:12,596
MIKE: That's not
pie-eyed Mickey so
1183
00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:13,797
it's not real early Mickey.
1184
00:32:13,931 --> 00:32:15,532
MIKE: We're having
a moment, we're having
1185
00:32:15,666 --> 00:32:16,266
an experience with them.
1186
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,200
MIKE: What about
this one here?
1187
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:18,868
CHRIS: This was from
Stephen King's It.
1188
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:20,737
This clown is Tim Curry,
he played Pennywise.
1189
00:32:20,871 --> 00:32:21,872
MIKE: He scared
the hell out of me.
1190
00:32:22,006 --> 00:32:24,808
MIKE: But when you have
the mold by itself,
1191
00:32:24,942 --> 00:32:26,877
in a store, it has to be
presented in a way
1192
00:32:27,011 --> 00:32:29,479
where someone looks
at it and they can tell
1193
00:32:29,613 --> 00:32:31,415
what it is immediately.
1194
00:32:31,549 --> 00:32:32,282
ROBBIE: What's this?
1195
00:32:32,350 --> 00:32:33,083
CHRIS: Oh...
1196
00:32:33,151 --> 00:32:34,151
ROBBIE: It's a
face of some sort.
1197
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:35,552
MIKE: That's a, it's Planet
of the Apes, isn't it?
1198
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:36,619
ROBBIE: King
Kong, maybe?
1199
00:32:36,688 --> 00:32:37,888
I don't know, I can't tell.
1200
00:32:38,022 --> 00:32:38,755
CHRIS: No, we didn't do
anything on King Kong.
1201
00:32:38,889 --> 00:32:40,690
MIKE: A lot of times
I'm asking him,
1202
00:32:40,758 --> 00:32:41,691
what is this mold, what is that?
1203
00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:42,826
You know, because
you can't see it.
1204
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,895
There's-there's no
definition to the piece.
1205
00:32:45,964 --> 00:32:47,030
MIKE: So what are you
guys thinking on Mickey?
1206
00:32:47,098 --> 00:32:50,300
CHRIS: It's pretty rare, at
least 1,000, maybe 1,500?
1207
00:32:50,368 --> 00:32:51,701
MIKE: Okay.
1208
00:32:51,769 --> 00:32:52,302
And then what about the gorilla?
1209
00:32:52,370 --> 00:32:53,303
CHRIS: 500?
1210
00:32:53,371 --> 00:32:54,705
MIKE: Okay.
1211
00:32:54,839 --> 00:32:57,641
CHRIS: Space suit,
super old, 1,200.
1212
00:32:57,775 --> 00:32:58,775
CHRIS: And believe
it or not...
1213
00:32:58,843 --> 00:33:00,310
GENE: Pennywise,
even broken... 2,000.
1214
00:33:00,444 --> 00:33:01,311
CHRIS: 2,000.
1215
00:33:01,379 --> 00:33:02,312
MIKE: Yeah.
1216
00:33:02,446 --> 00:33:03,513
GENE: $2,000.
1217
00:33:03,647 --> 00:33:05,048
MIKE: So I'm imagining these
pieces sitting on a table by
1218
00:33:05,182 --> 00:33:07,917
themselves, and I'm having a
hard time figuring out how
1219
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:10,587
I'm going to present them
and how that customer
1220
00:33:10,721 --> 00:33:12,055
is going to make
that connection.
1221
00:33:12,189 --> 00:33:13,990
MIKE: For me to bring this
back to Nashville or to Iowa,
1222
00:33:14,058 --> 00:33:16,326
I can't-I can't get anywhere
near those numbers,
1223
00:33:16,394 --> 00:33:18,061
I don't think.
1224
00:33:18,129 --> 00:33:20,130
MIKE: It's a fine line you
have to walk between really
1225
00:33:20,198 --> 00:33:22,732
appreciating it and getting
into it, because this is what
1226
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,135
made that iconic
piece for the movie.
1227
00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:27,737
But when you're looking at it
from a retail standpoint and
1228
00:33:27,805 --> 00:33:28,672
the way you're going
to present it,
1229
00:33:28,806 --> 00:33:30,741
it really has to
grab a hold of you.
1230
00:33:30,875 --> 00:33:31,608
MIKE: Alright, are you
interested in
1231
00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:32,609
any of this stuff, Robbie?
1232
00:33:32,743 --> 00:33:33,810
ROBBIE: I like
the-the ape.
1233
00:33:33,878 --> 00:33:35,345
But I don't know what
you'd do with it.
1234
00:33:35,479 --> 00:33:36,346
Yeah it's like...
1235
00:33:36,414 --> 00:33:37,347
MIKE: Okay so...
1236
00:33:37,481 --> 00:33:37,948
if this is display, if
you're displaying that...
1237
00:33:38,082 --> 00:33:39,016
ROBBIE: I already know.
1238
00:33:39,150 --> 00:33:40,417
MIKE: And you guys aren't
sure what film it's from.
1239
00:33:40,485 --> 00:33:40,817
CHRIS: No we're not.
1240
00:33:40,951 --> 00:33:41,351
ROBBIE: Right.
1241
00:33:41,419 --> 00:33:42,419
MIKE: Or TV show.
1242
00:33:42,553 --> 00:33:44,020
CHRIS: I can't, yeah.
1243
00:33:44,088 --> 00:33:45,021
MIKE: That's the thing, so
it doesn't really have any
1244
00:33:45,089 --> 00:33:45,422
pedigree other than
it's from your company.
1245
00:33:45,490 --> 00:33:46,289
GENE: Right.
1246
00:33:46,424 --> 00:33:47,557
ROBBIE: Right.
1247
00:33:47,691 --> 00:33:49,025
Ean, whichis cool within itself.
1248
00:33:49,093 --> 00:33:50,027
ROBBIE: Look at the teeth
in there, that thing's cool.
1249
00:33:50,161 --> 00:33:50,960
ROBBIE: This ape head
mold, it just brings me
1250
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:52,829
back to another
time in my childhood.
1251
00:33:52,897 --> 00:33:55,766
King Kong, Godzilla,
Planet of the Apes.
1252
00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:56,566
It scared the hell
out of me as a kid.
1253
00:33:56,634 --> 00:33:58,568
ROBBIE: 2-and-
a-quarter.
1254
00:33:58,636 --> 00:33:58,969
GENE: I'm good
with that.
1255
00:33:59,103 --> 00:33:59,770
ROBBIE: Yeah.
1256
00:33:59,904 --> 00:34:00,637
CHRIS: That's good
enough for us.
1257
00:34:00,771 --> 00:34:02,105
MIKE: What else
you guys got?
1258
00:34:02,239 --> 00:34:03,640
GENE: We have some trains over
here you can take a look at.
1259
00:34:03,774 --> 00:34:05,375
MIKE: Yeah, where
are those at?
1260
00:34:05,443 --> 00:34:06,443
These are huge!
1261
00:34:06,511 --> 00:34:08,044
CHRIS: They're huge.
1262
00:34:08,112 --> 00:34:09,312
MIKE: This one right here is
the most appealing to me,
1263
00:34:09,380 --> 00:34:10,047
the caboose.
1264
00:34:10,181 --> 00:34:10,781
GENE: It was in
Atomic Train.
1265
00:34:10,915 --> 00:34:12,315
MIKE: I'm a huge
Rob Lowe fan.
1266
00:34:12,383 --> 00:34:13,650
CHRIS: 250?
1267
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:14,317
MIKE: Alright,
we're doing it.
1268
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,719
ROBBIE: Yeah.
1269
00:34:15,853 --> 00:34:16,720
MIKE: My brother
and I are geeking out
1270
00:34:16,854 --> 00:34:19,389
about things that
his family made for
1271
00:34:19,457 --> 00:34:20,256
the film industry.
1272
00:34:20,324 --> 00:34:21,458
MIKE: Wow.
1273
00:34:21,526 --> 00:34:22,592
ROBBIE: I don't know.
1274
00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:23,927
MIKE: What's
this plane from?
1275
00:34:24,061 --> 00:34:25,662
GENE: Spike Jonze commercial
for Buddy Lee jeans.
1276
00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:27,264
MIKE: It's been
mega crashed.
1277
00:34:27,398 --> 00:34:27,998
GENE: Yeah.
1278
00:34:28,132 --> 00:34:29,199
ROBBIE: There's the tail, Mike.
1279
00:34:29,333 --> 00:34:30,801
ROBBIE: It's hard to imagine
these pieces that look like
1280
00:34:30,935 --> 00:34:32,602
broken toys, actually
came to life on TV
1281
00:34:32,736 --> 00:34:34,270
and in movies and commercials.
1282
00:34:34,338 --> 00:34:36,406
MIKE: Woo.
1283
00:34:36,474 --> 00:34:36,740
That's incredible.
1284
00:34:36,874 --> 00:34:38,475
125 bucks.
1285
00:34:38,543 --> 00:34:39,609
GENE: Sounds good to me.
1286
00:34:39,743 --> 00:34:40,677
Mike: [laughs]
Alright, man.
1287
00:34:40,745 --> 00:34:41,411
GENE: I'm outta
here on that.
1288
00:34:41,545 --> 00:34:42,812
ROBBIE: What's that?
1289
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:43,413
CHRIS: Clive Barker's
Lord of Illusion.
1290
00:34:43,481 --> 00:34:44,347
ROBBIE: It's cool.
1291
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:45,281
CHRIS: 75 bucks.
1292
00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:46,416
[chuckles]
1293
00:34:46,550 --> 00:34:47,484
ROBBIE: I'll take it.
1294
00:34:47,552 --> 00:34:48,685
CHRIS: Johnny Mnemonic.
1295
00:34:48,819 --> 00:34:49,553
MIKE: The 2 trailers
and the boat,
1296
00:34:49,687 --> 00:34:50,420
what are you guys thinking?
1297
00:34:50,554 --> 00:34:52,289
CHRIS: 100 bucks apiece.
1298
00:34:52,423 --> 00:34:53,356
CHRIS: Right on.
1299
00:34:53,424 --> 00:34:54,491
ROBBIE: Oh man...
1300
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:55,158
GENE: Oh, our Gremlins.
1301
00:34:55,292 --> 00:34:55,692
We were looking for those.
1302
00:34:55,826 --> 00:34:56,626
MIKE: Look at that.
1303
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:57,494
GENE: Would you
go for 250 each?
1304
00:34:57,628 --> 00:34:58,428
MIKE: I would, absolutely.
1305
00:34:58,496 --> 00:34:59,762
I absolutely would.
1306
00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:00,964
CHRIS: Alright,
they're yours, man.
1307
00:35:01,032 --> 00:35:01,965
MIKE: I can't imagine what
it would feel like to be
1308
00:35:02,099 --> 00:35:05,768
such a part of so many
kids' childhood memories.
1309
00:35:05,837 --> 00:35:08,371
MIKE: Look at
this, look at this. Ugh!
1310
00:35:08,506 --> 00:35:09,840
CHRIS: What is it?
1311
00:35:09,974 --> 00:35:12,308
Oh my God, I forgot
all about that thing.
1312
00:35:12,376 --> 00:35:13,110
MIKE: Urgh!
1313
00:35:13,244 --> 00:35:14,377
CHRIS: That was
our grandfather's.
1314
00:35:14,445 --> 00:35:15,378
MIKE: Look at his eyes, they're
like glowing in the night.
1315
00:35:15,446 --> 00:35:16,913
ROBBIE: I know.
1316
00:35:17,047 --> 00:35:17,647
CHRIS: And the copper is
because it breathed fire.
1317
00:35:17,715 --> 00:35:19,582
MIKE: Really!?
GENE: Yeah.
1318
00:35:19,650 --> 00:35:20,917
ROBBIE: What's it made out of?
1319
00:35:20,985 --> 00:35:22,118
GENE: So they pumped real
fire through that thing.
1320
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:22,452
MIKE: I can see the copper
tube in his mouth, it would...
1321
00:35:22,586 --> 00:35:23,586
GENE: Yep.
1322
00:35:23,654 --> 00:35:24,521
CHRIS: Blow
it out, yeah.
1323
00:35:24,655 --> 00:35:26,456
MIKE: Wow.
This is nuts.
1324
00:35:26,590 --> 00:35:27,524
What's this from, guys?
1325
00:35:27,592 --> 00:35:28,725
CHRIS: You know, I can't
even-can you remember?
1326
00:35:28,793 --> 00:35:29,592
GENE: I can't, I
don't, I don't know.
1327
00:35:29,660 --> 00:35:31,127
ROBBIE: The
thing is cool.
1328
00:35:31,195 --> 00:35:32,329
MIKE: Like, what time period
do you think it's from though?
1329
00:35:32,463 --> 00:35:33,596
When it's made?
1330
00:35:33,664 --> 00:35:34,864
GENE: Late '50s,
early '60s.
1331
00:35:34,932 --> 00:35:35,999
MIKE: It's really
interesting, really early.
1332
00:35:36,133 --> 00:35:40,003
And all it is is the head,
but you can tell it's just
1333
00:35:40,137 --> 00:35:42,672
different the way it's made,
the way it's constructed.
1334
00:35:42,740 --> 00:35:43,673
Out of everything
I've seen today,
1335
00:35:43,741 --> 00:35:45,742
this just feels different to me.
1336
00:35:45,876 --> 00:35:46,877
MIKE: So your
grandfather made this?
1337
00:35:47,011 --> 00:35:48,612
CHRIS: Whether or not he
made it or-or you know,
1338
00:35:48,746 --> 00:35:49,813
it was his company, I mean...
1339
00:35:49,947 --> 00:35:51,814
GENE: I wouldn't doubt
it if Wah Chang...
1340
00:35:51,883 --> 00:35:53,483
CHRIS: Wah Chang
probably sculpted that,
1341
00:35:53,617 --> 00:35:54,284
actually, their partner.
1342
00:35:54,352 --> 00:35:55,351
ROBBIE: Who?
1343
00:35:55,419 --> 00:35:56,019
CHRIS: Wah Chang.
1344
00:35:56,087 --> 00:35:56,620
ROBBIE: So
who was that?
1345
00:35:56,754 --> 00:35:57,554
MIKE: Tell
us about it.
1346
00:35:57,622 --> 00:35:58,421
GENE: Our
father's partner.
1347
00:35:58,489 --> 00:35:59,289
CHRIS: Wah Chang...
1348
00:35:59,423 --> 00:36:00,423
ROBBIE: Okay.
1349
00:36:00,558 --> 00:36:01,424
CHRIS: was a partner.
1350
00:36:01,492 --> 00:36:02,825
He was a sculptor, world
-renowned, actually.
1351
00:36:02,894 --> 00:36:03,293
He sculpted the first
Barbie for Mattel.
1352
00:36:03,427 --> 00:36:03,760
MIKE: Really.
1353
00:36:03,894 --> 00:36:04,294
ROBBIE: Really?
1354
00:36:04,362 --> 00:36:05,428
CHRIS: Yeah.
1355
00:36:05,563 --> 00:36:06,296
GENE: He was Chinese.
1356
00:36:06,430 --> 00:36:07,564
ROBBIE: Yeah.
1357
00:36:07,632 --> 00:36:09,032
GENE: You know and back then,
the way that Hollywood was,
1358
00:36:09,166 --> 00:36:11,501
they didn't welcome many
people outside of the industry.
1359
00:36:11,569 --> 00:36:12,435
ROBBIE:
Right. Yeah.
1360
00:36:12,570 --> 00:36:13,703
GENE: My grandfather was
good at bringing in
1361
00:36:13,837 --> 00:36:15,305
people with talent
into his place.
1362
00:36:15,373 --> 00:36:17,040
ROBBIE: Wow.
1363
00:36:17,108 --> 00:36:20,109
GENE: He actually hired a
lot of blacklisted people in
1364
00:36:20,178 --> 00:36:24,447
Hollywood at his toy company,
because they needed a job.
1365
00:36:24,582 --> 00:36:25,015
MIKE: That's awesome.
1366
00:36:38,128 --> 00:36:40,130
MIKE: So you guys have no
idea what project it's from.
1367
00:36:40,264 --> 00:36:42,932
CHRIS: No, and it's going to
give a, I'm going to go home...
1368
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:43,867
GENE: We're going to take it
home today with us
1369
00:36:44,001 --> 00:36:46,069
and figure it out,
'cause we have no idea.
1370
00:36:46,203 --> 00:36:47,404
Mike: [laughs] So you're not,
you don't want to sell it.
1371
00:36:47,538 --> 00:36:48,805
GENE: Not this one.
1372
00:36:48,939 --> 00:36:50,874
MIKE: I don't blame them,
because when they
1373
00:36:51,008 --> 00:36:53,009
start doing research
on it, they're going to
1374
00:36:53,077 --> 00:36:55,011
be able to connect it to
something from their family,
1375
00:36:55,079 --> 00:36:57,013
and then that's going to
push it forward value-wise.
1376
00:37:01,419 --> 00:37:07,290
[crowd screaming]
1377
00:37:07,358 --> 00:37:10,159
[expolsion]
1378
00:37:10,761 --> 00:37:11,694
MIKE: You got a
squid out here?
1379
00:37:11,762 --> 00:37:13,630
CHRIS: Yeah. He's
a little parched.
1380
00:37:13,698 --> 00:37:15,698
Mike: [laughs]
Wow, wow, wow.
1381
00:37:15,766 --> 00:37:16,700
ROBBIE: What movie
was this from?
1382
00:37:16,834 --> 00:37:18,835
GENE: Peter
Benchley's The Beast.
1383
00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:20,437
ROBBIE: The Beast,
and this is the beast?
1384
00:37:20,571 --> 00:37:21,504
CHRIS: That's the beast.
1385
00:37:21,572 --> 00:37:22,572
GENE: That's the beast.
1386
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:23,773
ROBBIE: Look at this thing.
1387
00:37:23,907 --> 00:37:24,908
MIKE: In the mid -1970s,
Jaws launched a
1388
00:37:25,042 --> 00:37:28,444
whole new era of movies
that villainized animals
1389
00:37:28,512 --> 00:37:30,113
in a whole new way.
1390
00:37:30,181 --> 00:37:35,118
Movies like Congo, Cujo, Lake
Placid, Anaconda, Piranha.
1391
00:37:35,186 --> 00:37:38,388
All of these took a natural
fear and made it supernatural.
1392
00:37:38,789 --> 00:37:40,323
GENE: Peter
Benchley wrote Jaws.
1393
00:37:40,391 --> 00:37:41,791
ROBBIE: Okay.
1394
00:37:41,859 --> 00:37:43,860
GENE: He also wrote
this book in 1991.
1395
00:37:43,994 --> 00:37:45,996
And within 2 years, they
were making the movie.
1396
00:37:46,130 --> 00:37:48,932
MIKE: After the juggernaut
success of Jaws, Hollywood
1397
00:37:49,066 --> 00:37:52,535
was going to do anything
that he wanted to do next.
1398
00:37:53,003 --> 00:37:55,338
CHRIS: Basic story is,
Jaws but it's a squid.
1399
00:37:55,406 --> 00:37:56,472
Mike: [chuckles]
1400
00:37:56,540 --> 00:37:58,074
MIKE: It's funny to say
Attack Of The Killer Squid,
1401
00:37:58,208 --> 00:38:02,145
but you could take the worst
qualities in any animal and
1402
00:38:02,213 --> 00:38:05,882
blow that up into the biggest
nightmare that you ever had.
1403
00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:08,151
MIKE: It feels like this
thing's still alive.
1404
00:38:08,285 --> 00:38:08,618
[laughs]
1405
00:38:08,686 --> 00:38:09,753
ROBBIE: It is.
1406
00:38:09,887 --> 00:38:10,287
MIKE: Alright, let
me check the pulse.
1407
00:38:10,554 --> 00:38:11,621
Yeah, it's-it's dead.
1408
00:38:11,755 --> 00:38:13,823
ROBBIE: It made
you terrified.
1409
00:38:13,957 --> 00:38:15,158
It made you terrified
to go in the water.
1410
00:38:15,226 --> 00:38:17,093
After I saw Jaws as a kid, I
didn't want to go in the water.
1411
00:38:17,227 --> 00:38:21,297
But to see this thing, this
gigantic squid eating a ship,
1412
00:38:21,365 --> 00:38:22,899
it's crazy!
1413
00:38:23,033 --> 00:38:24,434
GENE: Each bundle of
cables moves one tentacle.
1414
00:38:24,502 --> 00:38:26,035
ROBBIE: Holy Toledo!
1415
00:38:26,103 --> 00:38:27,837
GENE: These-these were 40
feet long or 30 feet long,
1416
00:38:27,971 --> 00:38:29,306
and you had them on rigs
that you can just...
1417
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,640
MIKE: Really.
1418
00:38:30,774 --> 00:38:31,441
ROBBIE: There's
a claw in there.
1419
00:38:31,509 --> 00:38:32,642
MIKE: Yeah, it does.
1420
00:38:32,776 --> 00:38:33,777
ROBBIE: That had
to have come out.
1421
00:38:33,911 --> 00:38:34,911
MIKE: You were able
to shoot that out?
1422
00:38:35,045 --> 00:38:37,447
GENE: Yeah, with the
tentacles going like this.
1423
00:38:37,581 --> 00:38:38,315
And the- and the beak...
1424
00:38:38,449 --> 00:38:39,449
MIKE: Really.
1425
00:38:39,583 --> 00:38:40,850
GENE: doing its thing.
1426
00:38:40,984 --> 00:38:41,918
MIKE: How many people
did it take to run it?
1427
00:38:42,052 --> 00:38:43,586
GENE: We had at one point,
like 16 or 18 people,
1428
00:38:43,721 --> 00:38:45,655
all push-pulling these things.
1429
00:38:45,789 --> 00:38:47,057
ROBBIE: Damn, that
things smells.
1430
00:38:47,191 --> 00:38:47,924
MIKE: So it's like this huge
ventriloquist doll. [laughs]
1431
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:48,725
CHRIS: Exactly.
That's what it is.
1432
00:38:48,793 --> 00:38:50,927
ROBBIE: This squid
is unbelievable.
1433
00:38:50,995 --> 00:38:53,596
Each arm, how the tentacle
moved in the water.
1434
00:38:53,664 --> 00:38:54,931
I mean, it's mind-blowing.
1435
00:38:55,065 --> 00:38:57,600
CHRIS: I spent probably
1,000 hours under water
1436
00:38:57,668 --> 00:38:58,334
shooting that, that movie.
1437
00:38:58,402 --> 00:38:59,269
ROBBIE: This.
1438
00:38:59,403 --> 00:39:00,336
CHRIS: Yeah.
1439
00:39:00,404 --> 00:39:00,870
MIKE: Really?
1440
00:39:00,938 --> 00:39:02,071
CHRIS: Under water.
1441
00:39:02,139 --> 00:39:03,873
In the big tank that our father
had, it was 100-by-100,
1442
00:39:03,941 --> 00:39:06,543
21 feet deep, 1 million
gallon water tank.
1443
00:39:06,677 --> 00:39:07,877
GENE: 1 million gallon tank.
1444
00:39:07,945 --> 00:39:08,278
ROBBIE: A million gallon
water tank out here?
1445
00:39:08,412 --> 00:39:09,946
CHRIS: Yeah.
1446
00:39:10,014 --> 00:39:10,613
MIKE: And that's where
this thing was living at?
1447
00:39:10,681 --> 00:39:11,281
CHRIS: That's where we shot.
1448
00:39:11,415 --> 00:39:12,548
GENE: Shot.
1449
00:39:12,616 --> 00:39:13,549
Mike: [laughs]
Oh wow.
1450
00:39:13,617 --> 00:39:15,017
ROBBIE: Avatar, Wonder
Woman, Black Panther,
1451
00:39:15,086 --> 00:39:16,953
you know, everything nowadays
is on a green screen.
1452
00:39:17,087 --> 00:39:20,824
These guys are floating in
a tank, there's 20 people
1453
00:39:20,958 --> 00:39:22,959
operating it just to
make this thing move.
1454
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:24,761
ROBBIE: Can you imagine
every position they had
1455
00:39:24,895 --> 00:39:26,963
to be in, to make
it swallow that ship.
1456
00:39:27,031 --> 00:39:29,298
MIKE: So his skin's coming
off here a little bit.
1457
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:30,967
GENE: Yeah.
1458
00:39:31,101 --> 00:39:31,835
MIKE: I can't believe how
well it's lasted out here.
1459
00:39:31,969 --> 00:39:34,837
CHRIS: It's not
foam, it's silicone.
1460
00:39:34,905 --> 00:39:36,906
Over the years, when the
materials changed,
1461
00:39:36,974 --> 00:39:40,443
even foam to foam, the
newer foam lasted longer
1462
00:39:40,511 --> 00:39:41,511
than the older foam.
1463
00:39:41,645 --> 00:39:44,381
This is the most modern
silicone that's out there,
1464
00:39:44,515 --> 00:39:45,782
it will not decay.
1465
00:39:45,850 --> 00:39:46,716
MIKE: So what's
going on with this?
1466
00:39:46,784 --> 00:39:48,518
I mean, is this part
of the family,
1467
00:39:48,586 --> 00:39:49,652
you guys thinking about...
1468
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:50,853
I mean how do you
gauge the value?
1469
00:39:50,921 --> 00:39:51,654
CHRIS: This... unless
somebody comes to us
1470
00:39:51,722 --> 00:39:53,923
within the next few weeks or so,
1471
00:39:53,991 --> 00:39:56,459
this will probably get
parted to tentacles only.
1472
00:39:56,527 --> 00:39:57,260
MIKE:
Really! Why?
1473
00:39:57,394 --> 00:39:58,795
CHRIS: Yeah.
1474
00:39:58,929 --> 00:39:59,729
ROBBIE: And then try
and sell those off?
1475
00:39:59,797 --> 00:40:00,930
CHRIS: Because,
because otherwise,
1476
00:40:00,998 --> 00:40:01,931
it's just going to sit here
and continue to...
1477
00:40:01,999 --> 00:40:03,599
MIKE: Oh you would sell
just the tentacles.
1478
00:40:03,667 --> 00:40:04,734
ROBBIE: Just
thetentacles.
1479
00:40:04,868 --> 00:40:05,601
CHRIS: People could
buy the tentacles
1480
00:40:05,669 --> 00:40:06,669
and put it on their wall.
1481
00:40:06,737 --> 00:40:07,270
GENE: And we-
and we would...
1482
00:40:07,404 --> 00:40:08,204
ROBBIE: Wow.
1483
00:40:08,272 --> 00:40:09,939
CHRIS: All of a
sudden it gets parted.
1484
00:40:10,073 --> 00:40:10,740
MIKE: Well I don't want
to see that happen to it.
1485
00:40:10,874 --> 00:40:11,608
So in order for
us to fix this...
1486
00:40:11,742 --> 00:40:12,942
GENE: Yeah, it's
a silicone glue.
1487
00:40:13,010 --> 00:40:13,676
MIKE: Okay, that's all we
need to do is glue that.
1488
00:40:13,811 --> 00:40:14,343
GENE: That's all
you need to do.
1489
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:15,478
CHRIS: Yep, yep.
1490
00:40:15,612 --> 00:40:16,746
MIKE: On that seam there.
1491
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,014
CHRIS: And a little
bit of a cleanup,
1492
00:40:18,082 --> 00:40:18,948
and it'll clean pretty well,
because it's silicone.
1493
00:40:19,082 --> 00:40:19,983
MIKE: What are you
thinking on this thing?
1494
00:40:21,685 --> 00:40:22,885
CHRIS: 500 bucks.
GENE: Yeah.
1495
00:40:22,953 --> 00:40:27,023
MIKE: Really? I mean, it
just seems... phew...
1496
00:40:27,157 --> 00:40:28,758
CHRIS: We can get a little
bit more for the tentacles,
1497
00:40:28,826 --> 00:40:30,560
but we'd rather
not have it parted.
1498
00:40:30,961 --> 00:40:31,628
GENE: Yeah, we'd rather
it stay its shape.
1499
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:32,962
CHRIS: We'd rather
not part it.
1500
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:35,165
MIKE: I mean, you guys
are like making us buy it.
1501
00:40:35,766 --> 00:40:36,299
CHRIS: Well it's
part of the deal.
1502
00:40:36,433 --> 00:40:37,433
[group laughing]
1503
00:40:37,501 --> 00:40:39,302
MIKE: Alright, man.
1504
00:40:39,436 --> 00:40:40,369
ROBBIE: Awesome.
1505
00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:41,905
CHRIS: Alright.
1506
00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:42,639
MIKE: Whether or not
you're a fan of the movie,
1507
00:40:42,773 --> 00:40:44,908
this squid is a work of art.
1508
00:40:45,042 --> 00:40:46,309
ROBBIE: You guys act like
it's heavy or something.
1509
00:40:46,443 --> 00:40:47,377
CHRIS: Ugh...
1510
00:40:47,511 --> 00:40:48,445
MIKE: Yeah-argh...
1511
00:40:48,579 --> 00:40:49,379
ROBBIE: Get it all the way
in there, all the way,
1512
00:40:49,513 --> 00:40:51,314
tentacles and all.
1513
00:40:51,448 --> 00:40:52,449
MIKE: Yeah...
1514
00:40:52,583 --> 00:40:53,850
MIKE: It's just mind -blowing
to think that one family
1515
00:40:53,918 --> 00:40:57,320
was a part of so many
iconic productions.
1516
00:40:57,388 --> 00:40:58,654
Mike: [laughs]
1517
00:40:58,722 --> 00:40:59,589
ROBBIE: Today was
a walk through
1518
00:40:59,723 --> 00:41:00,857
Hollywood visual
effects history.
1519
00:41:00,925 --> 00:41:03,326
And I'm glad I got to
ride on that train.
1520
00:41:03,394 --> 00:41:03,993
MIKE: [laughs]
1521
00:41:04,127 --> 00:41:05,127
CHRIS: Thank
you, thank guys.
1522
00:41:05,196 --> 00:41:06,529
ROBBIE: Appreciate it, love
the family history, man.
1523
00:41:06,597 --> 00:41:07,263
I love the family history.
1524
00:41:07,397 --> 00:41:08,798
MIKE: I'm so glad
I bought that!
1525
00:41:08,866 --> 00:41:10,667
MIKE: Imagine your
family's history not
1526
00:41:10,801 --> 00:41:13,002
just being your
family's history.
1527
00:41:13,070 --> 00:41:15,605
I mean, this is the film
industry's history, and it's
1528
00:41:15,673 --> 00:41:17,740
American pop culture history.
1529
00:41:17,808 --> 00:41:18,808
MIKE: See you down
the road, guys.
1530
00:41:18,876 --> 00:41:20,810
CHRIS: I know that
our grandfather and
1531
00:41:20,878 --> 00:41:23,079
our father would be
