The Weekly Planet - Man-Thing (Extended) - Caravan Of Garbage
Episode Date: October 13, 2022Recently the MCU saw the first live action appearance of Man-Thing in the Halloween special Werewolf By Night. Sorry I just forgot right now, there was a Marvel adaptation of Man-Thing that dates back... to 2005 produced by Avi Arad who's producing credits include Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Hulk, Blade and even Iron Man. Filmed entirely in Australian with a next to nothing budget it certainly is an odd duck of a film that was quickly swept under the rug. I will never forget though. And now you cannot either.

That's sunrisechallenge.ca.
Well, like, man, what were they thinking?
Ouch, brutal.
Yeah, I need to get that out of the way
in case you were going to do it.
So, straight out of the gate, what do you got?
Look, I mean, on a related note,
I've written this movie should be called
Bloke Thing-O-What's-It.
And my first question to you, James,
is at what point during the watching of this movie
did you realise that it was filmed in Australia?
Immediately.
Yeah, the first millisecond.
But of course, I think it really hammers the point home
that this was filmed in Australia when we meet Sheriff Kyle,
the main character.
Yeah.
And I feel like there's never been a small-town American sheriff
that looks more like he's from Byron Bay than this guy.
Well, that's the famous Matthew Lenevers.
You might know from Offspring and various other things.
We've also got Rachel Taylor in her first movie role.
Oh, before she knew how to do an American accent.
Interesting.
Well, I don't think anybody in this quite knows how to do an American accent.
No, this movie in fact features a venerable and much lauded Australian actor
named Jack Thompson.
Yes.
Who I love, but I consider him to have one of the worst American accents in cinema.
Are you saying that his performance in the movie Broken Arrow
as American General number
three wasn't to your liking and satisfaction, Mason?
Correct, James.
That being said, there are quite a few strong contenders to the throne in this movie of
the worst American accent.
Welcome to Care About It Garbage, everybody.
Now, of course, we are covering Man-Thing because Man-Thing recently made an appearance
in the MCU in Werewolf.
I'm having a good time.
That's right.
Now, you've said there, of course, we're covering this as if anybody knew it existed, which I didn't.
I don't.
Oh, maybe I had the maybe it's in the back of my mind.
Do you want some background?
Yes.
We're going to have to give this video a like along with everybody else.
Mason.
Clickety click.
Great.
Thank you.
So that was a like and then an unlike.
That's fine.
And then a mean comment.
So this is produced by Lionsgate and Fierce Entertainment,
two lion-related companies, I guess, in certain ways, Mason.
But the idea was that in the year 2000, the year of our Lord,
Artisan Entertainment and Marvel Enterprises joined forces.
Strong words.
Marvel was going bankrupt, probably.
And decided to give away a bunch of their properties at bargain prices.
That they already hadn't given away.
Like the ones like your X-Men's, your Spider-Man's and whatever else.
So what they did, they said...
The riffraff.
Yes, that's right.
The offcuts.
You're not wrong.
The effluent.
Well, not all.
So there was at least 15 superhero franchises
that were going to be turned into live-action features,
TV series, and direct-to-DVD films.
This included Thor, Captain America, Deadpool,
Iron Fist, Longshot, Power Pack, Mort the Dead Teenager,
Ant-Man, and Morbius,
who would have been in the Spider-Man universe at this
point in time.
Ridiculous.
These fucking idiots.
Imagine the lawsuit that would have resulted if they had attempted, if Fierce Productions
or whatever they were called, attempted to make a Morbius movie.
Avi Arad would be up in arms or something.
Oh, I've got some Avi Arad stuff to talk about at the end.
But so Artisan, though, they were bought out by Lionsgate in 2003.
So as a result of this huge deal that happened, we got two movies.
One was The Punisher, 2004, with Thomas Jane,
which I maintain has a very good kitchen fight where he fights Giant Popeye.
One of the best kitchen fights there is.
There might just be.
Besides Marriage Story, obviously.
Very good, Mason.
And the other one being Man Thing.
Now, of the success of Blade, Unbreakable, Spider-Man, X-Men
that were around this time, they thought,
you know, this thing, we thought originally,
let's put it direct to DVD, right?
I was going to say streaming.
That absolutely wasn't a thing then.
They might have been attempting to put it on sci-fi channels.
Well, it's funny you should say that.
So what ended up happening is presumably a bunch of people looked at this and went oh hang on a minute and so it's
a bit crook so this film premiered on the sci-fi channel under the sci-fi pictures label in 2005
despite being filmed in 2003 but theatrically though it did get a release in russia singapore
spain belgium and the United Emirates.
Now, before we get into the story of kind of soupy guy in a swamp that's going on here,
do we want to get into the origin of Man-Thing?
And in terms of that, I just want to kick this off by saying the writer of this film,
Hans Rodionoff, had this to say about the script.
Everyone should try and forget about Ted Salas and the super soldier serum.
Go in expecting something new.
Oh, no.
So in the comics, right, and various other mediums
where Man-Thing has appeared, which is very little,
is basically Swamp Thing, though it happened after Swamp Thing,
but also both Swamp Thing and Man-Thing were stolen ideas
from like a 1940s swamp character.
Oh, I mean, it wouldn't shock me at all.
I imagine there were plenty of creatures from the Black Lagoon, etc.
that were big at some point in the history of cinema.
But yeah, Man-Thing, the origin of Man-Thing is that
there's a secret government project which is called, I can do this.
We're making a Man-Thing.
No, it's called like Project Gladiator or something,
and they're attempting to recreate the super soldier serum.
God, they need to get over it.
Find a new thing.
No, they're not going to, though.
Make a gun.
Make a pretty cool gun.
Oh, that'd be sweet, actually.
Yeah, maybe a gun with an eagle on it.
A live eagle or a robot eagle.
It doesn't matter.
But anyway, and Ted Salas is one of the lead scientists on board,
along with Bobby Morse, mockingbird.
Yes.
And, of course, everything goes awry.
As these things do.
And Ted Salas is fleeing from some pursuers with one sample of this serum,
and he's like, where can I hide this?
I know, in my own veins.
And he injects himself, and then he falls into the swamp.
And then the mystical properties of the swamp combined with the super soldier serum turn him into this thing.
This man thing.
It certainly is man thing.
And so instead of the focus of this being on the man thing where he's out for justice,
it's some kind of swamp entity that comes to life.
And I guess here's my problem with this terrible movie, Mason.
Go on.
There's no thrill or intrigue about what is happening here because very clearly from the
get-go it's, okay, the bad guys, they're poisoning the lake or the swamp or whatever
and the man thing is running about.
Yes.
And as a result of that, I don't know why anybody is doing anything in this movie in
and around the swamp. And I'm also talking about-
One of the worst places you could be, I reckon.
Well, I mean also before-
Because it's gross in there. Because it's gross's gross yeah even before the man thing makes an appearance
there's like a couple by the swamp and the and the lady of the couple is like let's go into the
swamp teeheehee why exactly they make out in ankle deep mud what are you doing it's r-rated
uh we don't we don't get yeah there's boobs boobs in this, which you don't really see in a Marvel movie anymore,
or ever, except for this, I guess.
But since you stopped doing fan edits of all the Phase 1 movies,
there's no boobs at all in these movies, James.
Remember when Tony Stark would have sex with women or whatever?
He did that for one movie, didn't he?
Yeah, he sort of did that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I think the thing about this is as well,
it's just, it's cliche in a bad way.
I think there's so much potential to do like a Marvel or a DC
or any kind of horror comic book story in live action.
And we've seen it and we've seen it work.
Look, I would be happy to say this, James.
If you're expecting this to be good, it's not, it's bad. But if you're expecting this to be good, it's not.
It's bad.
But if you're expecting it to be bad, it's still bad and it's boring.
But I think there's a bit of camp value to be had in this.
I don't know if folks out there have seen Garth Marenghi's Dark Place,
which, of course, is a classic British sci-fi fantasy parody TV series.
But a lot of the ridiculous campy elements of that show are in this just not ironically.
Like, for example, a lot of the dialogue in this movie is ADR'd because obviously perhaps
it didn't get recorded properly on the day or on set or on location.
The noises of the Sydney swamps where they filmed this.
That's right.
It's probably a rabbit hose game going on just across the hill. I love a coroner whose job it is to determine how this person died. And it's all delicate.
There's a whole microbiome of information on a dead body. What happened here? And he's just
punching a dart over the top of it. Probably the actor was doing that.
Duty union rules. They couldn't stop him.
Big fan of that.
It's also got like Saw-style quick edits and screeching,
which is just not good and very unpleasant to experience.
The most prominent ADR in this movie, though,
is whenever a phone rings.
And it's just like your television's exploding.
I'm like, what?
That was the scariest part
of this movie for me every time i'm like do i owe somebody money oh god well you say that you didn't
enjoy the special effects of the man thing because i will say this there are some very good practical
dead body stuff going on here in terms of like you know when somebody's like skewered by something
and then when you've got like a prop body and it's half a body
or it's got a tree root growing out of its face or whatever,
I think all that looks quite good.
And despite what actually happened with the man thing
and what they were going for
and how the version that we're seeing wasn't supposed to be seen at all in this movie,
I think it looks quite good.
I think it looks pretty good.
You know what?
I'll tell you what.
I'll tell you what, James.
I'll tell you this for free.
If you were like an actor or a production crew member on this movie
and you've spent like most of your career working on a soap opera
or working on like a small town crime drama
where like 15 years ago a kid pushed another kid into a creek or whatever
and that's the extent of the drama or whatever,
I reckon you'd be loving this.
Totally.
There's scenes in this, actors are in this,
they're chewing scenery, they're firing machine guns.
You're a crew member on this movie,
you're just setting a car on fire for no reason.
You're just a burning car in a scene.
That car was burning so hot for so long.
For so long.
What was the deal with that car?
I don't know.
Was there swamp gas coming up from beneath it?
Maybe.
But there's this dude just blazing away on machine guns.
Yeah, it's good stuff.
Piloting their own boats.
Jack Thompson gets to pilot a speedboat at one point.
It's very reminiscent, and we did look at this,
of the original and I guess the subsequent Swamp Thing movies.
Yes.
There's a lot of that.
I mean in terms of like there's a murder in the swamp
and there's a mystery to unravel.
Because that's what this is all about.
It's like what's going on in the swamp.
But again, it's like it's a man thing.
It's obviously a man thing, yeah.
I mean, and there's some police corruption or whatever,
corporation stuff, whatever's happening.
But yeah, just to get back to the man thing himself.
So there was actually the group who worked on this,
the Makeup Effects makeup effects were a team
from australia and i said the home and away makeup team no that's just just a broad spray
but uh put you in a booth they hit the big red button you're ready to go that's right hold your
breath this is poisonous uh so this is from nick nicolau who's a co-founder as mentioned of this group he said
so the deal with the man thing was it was nearly always brought in at the end of each filming day
and then we rushed through the shoot so they were running out of time and it was logistically also
difficult to shoot the man thing on set because you're on a man-made swamp and there's a person
in the suit and they're propped up in the swamp on like a box or a table
and they didn't have time to do any of the blocking or anything to make to make sense of what is
actually going on some of this movie has done it on the day energy i'll tell you that much
there's a moment in this movie where sheriff kyle opens up a case and withdraws a shotgun and he
loads three rounds into the shotgun but he's very obviously pretending to
put the round in palming it and then putting it directly into his back pocket three times he does
it it's maddening just do it behind the case dude yeah incredible i love that yeah right it's good
i didn't notice at all i guess that's the that's the power f's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship
between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies
on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London.
One woman has a secret.
The other, a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost.

Register today at sunrisechallenge.ca. That's sunrisechallenge.ca.
Cinema, you know what I mean? You're so caught up in it, you don't notice all the little tricks that are going on. But the reason, though, this was the way it was
is because what they made was supposed to be a creature
that was going to be replaced entirely with CGI.
So every meeting that they went to, they were told,
hey, we just need something that's the shape and size of the man thing
so the suit will be replaced afterwards.
So we just got a local bloke in.
Named Ron.
Big Ron.
We covered him in moss and we went for it.
And he said, we had a bad feeling about this
as they were cutting the budget left, right, and center.
So in the end, no 3D creature was made due to the diminishing budget.
Our physical creature suit is in every shot.
So there is some CGI tentacles waving about.
And considering that this wasn't supposed to be seen at all,
it looks pretty good. Yeah right?
Yeah. Anyway here's two bits that I liked.
Okay. There's a section called two bits
I liked. Love it. I don't know
if I can contribute two bits that I liked.
Well I've already filled it up. I've already got two.
It's not called three bits I like.
Here's a bit that I like. One of the murder victims was called
Steve Gerber. Steve Gerber of course
did a very well
celebrated run on Man-Thing.
Also, he created Howard the Duck.
Yes, very good.
This segment has now been relabeled three things that we both like, I guess.
No.
Yeah.
The second thing that I like, Mason, in this collective thing,
is where there's a big protest at the start.
They're like, stop pouring poo into the swamp or whatever's going on.
Stop operating that one weird clockwork drilling platform
in the middle of the swamp that we keep coming back to.
That we thought was really big, but it's actually pretty small
when people actually get to it.
When you stand near it.
Yeah, it's small, actually.
Yeah, it looks like something on a high school production set.
It's like something in the Phantom of the Opera would emerge from behind.
As soon as I saw it at the start, I was like,
yeah, we're going to be seeing that a fair bit.
They put some money and some nails into that.
So, yeah, Rachel Taylor, she kicks the cop into a puddle.
In his balls.
Right, in his balls.
And then he's like, right, you're coming with me.
You're under arrest or whatever.
And she's like, what are you arresting me for?
What do you mean?
This is America.
You can't arrest me, America.
Hey, man, you kicked a cop into a puddle in the balls.
I'm not saying you weren't right i'm just saying you you should be able to understand what's happening here yeah and i liked the bit
where there's a photographer in this who's constantly popping up in the swamp and he's
like hello i'm in the swamp uh i just love blurry bad photos yeah of nothing mostly and he wants to
get a photo for uh for life magazine and as he's running away and saying this
at one point the lead cop says life magazine went out of business you fucking idiot oh yeah and it
just felt like yeah that was that happened on the day yes it felt real i was a big fan of that
but i tell you what i wasn't a big fan of the ending so the man thing whenever the man thing
gets close to anybody yes it tears them apart
yeah
which is interesting
because
it's not that interesting
it's not that interesting
I'll be honest
you'll be honest with me
what
I don't know a lot about
man thing the character
I've seen him in a few arcs
I don't think I've ever read
like any of his
full series
sure
but the one thing I do know
about the man thing
his whole deal is
whoever knows fear
burns at the touch
of the man thing that's his whole deal that whoever knows fear burns at the touch of the man thing.
That's his whole deal.
That's right.
Never burns anybody.
Never burns a goddamn thing.
The only burning thing I saw
was that car
that was burning
for a long time.
I saw that burn.
Oh, and the cigarette
over the corpse
of the coroner's office
or whatever.
That's right.
So it's killing anybody, right?
And then at the end,
the two leads are there
and it just doesn't kill them because it's coming up slowly and then there's an explosion. Right. And then at the end, like the two leads are there and it's just, it just doesn't kill
them because it's coming up slowly and then there's an explosion.
Yeah.
But I think the, the, the, the man thing wanted to destroy that, that small drilling platform.
Yeah.
But it's literally killing anybody because you know, the dude who's like, I'm using my
mystical powers of the swamp to stop the man thing.
But he, that the other guy, because there's two mystical guys.
Yeah. Which mystical guy?
One of the mystical guys is like, hey, man thing,
I want you to kill me for some reason.
Yeah, but I feel like he was just killing anybody though, right?
Yeah, maybe.
Why did he kill the couple at the start?
Bit of fun.
Yeah, a bit of fun, I guess.
Just a warm-up.
That's right.
Just getting started.
I need to stretch my tentacles and roots.
And speaking of roots,
it's a horror movie
and they were having sex
so they've got to die.
That's how it works.
And the man thing
is aware,
all his consciousness
is gone but he is aware
of the conventions
of horror movies.
All his consciousness
because he never
had a consciousness
because he was never a man.
He grew out of the swamp
because he was a mystical
swamp creature.
Yeah, maybe.
Not maybe, Mason.
We saw it happen.
Remember he grew out and he's like, man, skeleton, blah. What maybe, Mason. We saw it happen. Oh, yeah. Remember he grew out?
He's like,
I'm a skeleton, blah.
What happened to the guy then?
The guy?
There was no guy.
Wasn't there?
They do mention him.
Nah.
Okay.
Or they do.
They do, yeah.
Yeah.
Here's some Avi Arad stuff, Mason,
if you don't mind.
So, Avi Arad, of course,
the CEO of Marvel Studios,
he stated after this movie's release,
people might know that he's famous for getting a lot of these properties the bigger properties off the ground
so he worked closely with x-men spider-man but often his involvement will end up ruining a thing
in the long term absolutely that's what he had to say credit where credit is due he's done a lot of
good stuff i will say that and he was involved in the mcu till kevin feige basically sidestepped
him and got him kicked out but uh he said the one hiccup we had was the one project we didn't micromanage.
We were not going to the Outback.
It's not.
It was filmed in Sydney.
There was so much going on.
We will never do that again.
We should never have trusted anybody that far away without our supervision.
Thankfully, it was a small movie and not a disaster.
If we were there and on top of it, it would have been an amazing movie.
I look at the horror genres and I think, shit, I can't believe this.
We've learnt our lesson.
And I think lessons were learnt here, Mason.
That's right.
But the only lesson I like to behest on people who come to these videos is give your parents
a call.
Unless they suck.
In this case, just fucking leave them.
Don't worry about it.
That's right.
Put a kick me sign on their back.
That'll learn them.
And the other is, of course...
Or throw them into a haunted swamp.
Obviously, that could work.
The other, of course, is green trivia.
Can we...
This week, can we...
I know, obviously, it's not called green trivia
because Man Thing is green.
You know that better than anybody.
It's just a coincidence.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This week, I was wondering if we could call it
green trivia plus a supercut of that guy yelling Rodney a bunch of times.
Sure.
Supercut first?
Yep.
And now Green Trivia.
Thank you, Ben and Lawrence.
Is that going to be the name every week?
Green Trivia?
Supercut of the guy saying...
I mean, it depends how good the supercut is.
I remember him saying Rodney a bunch of times,
but maybe it was only a couple of times.
Don't worry about it.
If it turns out to be a real cinematic spectacular,
maybe that's what it'll be called every week.
To tie back to what I said earlier,
Man-Thing was actually created before Swamp Thing,
even though Swamp Thing is the more popular character.
They sued DC but lost out,
and this was probably due to the fact
that they are both a derivative of the Hillman periodicals,
The Heap from the 40s.
Oh, The Heap? Yeah, The Heap. Brett Leonard. Bring back The Heap from the 40s. Oh, The Heap.
Yeah, The Heap.
Wow.
Brett Leonard.
Bring back The Heap, I say.
Bring it back.
Heap cinematic universe.
Big pile of Heap.
Heaps of horror.
Brett Leonard directed this, who actually was the director of Virtuosity.
Yeah, Lawnmower Man.
That's right.
And, of course, Highlander the Sauce.
Now, I wanted to ask you.
Also a big hit in Russia.
Is that one of the good ones?
No, that's the worst one. Wow. Yeah. Highlander the Sauce. Now, I wanted to ask you. Also a big hit in Russia. Is that one of the good ones? No, that's the worst one.
Wow.
Yeah.
Highlander 2?
This is the worst one?
It's the worst one.
Wow, incredible.
I mean, virtuosity.
He's eating glass, isn't he?
Love that.
Hell yeah.
And Lawnmower Man, 3D entertainment or something.
That's right.
Yeah.
So much of the swampland in this had to be artificially created scenes
is that, yes, it was filmed on location in Sydney.
In the outback in Sydney.
That's right.
In Sydney, Australia, it looks like a regular suburb, a lot of it.
It doesn't have crazy swamp climate.
It can be pretty mild most of the time,
but it's not ideal for a swamp setting, is it, Mason?
Are we being sponsored by the City of Sydney Tourism Board?
It's not a big swamp or nothing.
It's fine.
It's fine sometimes.
The weather's fine, I think.
So the plants actually used in this weren't suited to the environment
and resulted in a bad-smelling blue-green algae,
which took over the set,
which the crew jokingly referred to as the Blue Harvest.
Now, funnily...
Oh, here he goes. Now, funnily... Oh, here he goes.
Now, funnily enough, Mason.
Go on.
Just by pure coincidence,
Blue Harvest was also the name,
the working title, I should say,
for the original Star Wars in 1977.
Wow, wow.
And no other movies, I believe.
Stanley makes an appearance in this.
He's a missing persons in the police station, apparently.
I didn't see it.
I saw that on IMDB.
But I did see this.
Also, it's on YouTube.
Okay, cool.
If you're worried,
like, how can I catch this?
Where can I watch this movie?
Don't worry about it.
It's right there.
Now, the box office for this,
you're not going to believe this.
This shocked me.
There was a $5 million budget
for this movie.
I mean, you've got to get
all those plants to Sydney.
Yeah.
I've lied about the swamp thing.
They didn't really grow a swamp.
I mean, they built a set, but whatever. You've got to get gotta get jack thompson to sydney yeah that's not where he lives
i don't think maybe maybe he was clee glass he was clee glass you didn't know that no i knew
things i know things uh but of course in its limited release and it probably would have got
some money for going to sci-fi it made one million dollars in total uh considered a one
of marvel's lesser known and biggest disasters and i will say this mason go on it's not very good
did you have fun watching it though a little bit yeah yeah a little bit i mean i and i look
honestly i love the australian cast a few other names alexa'Loughlin, Steve Bastoni, Ian Bliss.
My goodness.
He played Agent Smith.
Remember he was like,
I'm different Agent Smith.
I'm in the real world,
bitch.
I'm going to beat you up.
That guy did a great Agent Smith impression.
Incredible.
Watch our Matrix videos.
A lot of that also
has got like a green tint of it,
but its working title
was Blue Harvest also.
Mason.
Go on.
All in all,
is this worth watching?
It's on YouTube.
Give it five minutes.
See if you're enthralled. I don. All in all, is this worth watching? It's on YouTube. Give it five minutes.
See if you're enthralled.
I don't know.
Look, just as a... Oddity?
Yeah, as an oddity, but I think just an exercise in watching a bunch of Australians attempt to be deep South Americans.
Yeah.
You know?
Do you think, though...
See, often I don't have a problem with Australians doing American accents.
I can kind of lean into it.
But I think it just kind of like a virus.
It kind of caught on.
And everyone was copying each other.
Everybody learned from Jack Thompson, probably.
Yeah, but then it didn't.
So it didn't.
It's like there was no actual Americans there.
So it never caught on.
A simulation of a simulation of a simulation.
That's what I'm saying, yes.
Wow.
Much like the man thing is a simulation of Ted Salas
or whatever his name is in the comics, but maybe not in this.
I think he was in this, but you disagree.
I don't disagree.
I don't know.
You're probably right, but I don't know.
Anyways, this has been Caravan of Garbage.
We do this every week.
I just wish people had a way to see these early, Mason.
Well, they don't.
Mason, they do.
Oh, okay.
That was a prompt for you. Oh, but they don't. Was that better? They. Well, they don't. Mason, they do. Oh, okay. That was a prompt for you.
Oh, but they don't.
Was that better?
They do.
But they don't?
They do.
But they don't?
Question mark,
and then it's back on you.
Okay.
Mason, they do.
At BigSandwich.co,
it's like our Patreon.
It's nine bucks a month
if you are interested.
Caravan of Garbage
goes up there early,
but in addition to that,
our podcast,
The Weekly Planet,
where we talk movies
and comics and TV shows,
goes up there a day early, but that's also available on all platforms
regularly on a Monday.
That's right.
But so much bonus content, isn't there, Mason?
Ye would love it.
We've got movie commentaries.
We recently did a Deadpool 2.
That's right.
Bonus podcast.
We have bonus podcasts, a comic book club, a clickbait thing where we look at clickbait
and go, look at this shit.
Can you believe this?
Yeah.
Anyway, here's a hint towards next week.
Ah.
I think it's the Scorpion King.
Ah.
Have you seen that?
I must have, right?
I know.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
Anyways, this card is definitely running out.
Uh-oh.
So we got to go, Mason.
Okay.
Thanks for watching, everybody.
Grab that gem, you guys.
We will see you next week.
And goodbye.
Rodney. Rodney. Rodney. I bet it, you guys. We will see you next week. And goodbye. Rodney.
Rodney.
Rodney.
I bet it happened like twice.
I bet it happened like twice.
But it was the guy from Sea Patrol, all right?
And it just hit me right there in the feels, you know?
Was he also in Police Rescue?
Maybe.
Was it the bald guy?
We've all been in Sea Patrol and Police Rescue, yes.
True, we did a stint.
Thanks, everyone.
Bye.
And see patrol and police rescue, yes.
True, we did a stint.
Thanks, everyone.
Bye.
