Music.
Previously in our story, Danny Hillcrest's movie premiered on five screens at
the underground Cine-Round-a-Dome.
But due to shifting demographics at the cable channel that greenlit the film,
this was not the lighthearted romp people were expecting.
In fact, the film was a disaster. No, literally a disaster, with explosions and everything.
And as a twist, Middling Fair was the target of the destruction, not Grassssssside
Greene. Everyone watching the movie from inside princess the 1976 tiara mega coach tri-axle,
school bus was sure people would hate the unexpected tone shift,
but checking social media right after the film ended painted a different picture.
According to all these posts everyone from Grassssssside Greene loves this thing?
Like, I think Danny's a hero, at least to like Grassssssside Greene.
As this chapter begins, a few hours have passed.
Miss Falmacher has invited dignitaries from both towns to gather in the main
ballroom of the Venus Arms Hotel and Towers for a post-movie celebration.
Fortunately, the end of the month means the hotel staff is finally returning,
just in time to dispense food and drink.
The room is all abuzz about the evening's exciting premiere.
I agree, Mayor Barkley. If it hadn't been for my insistence on bringing an arcade
game into the lobby, I think the movie would have missed out on one of its best scenes.
Maybe. But I think I should consider ordering more toothpicks for the restaurant, no?
Taking a break from all the attention, Danny sits in a corner of the ballroom idly doodling.
Wicker Cricket! Wicker Cricket! Wicker Cricket! Wicker Crick- Hi!
Danny Hillcrest here! Hello, Danny! It's Perry J. Oshmont.
I wanted to- Okay, okay. Hard stop, people. We have a little course correction
to make on this film. Forget the volcano.
This movie is now about the rocks.
Sorry about that. I hear the premiere went great!
It sure did! I can't haltingly wait for it to be on the Lowe channel tomorrow night.
Yeah, about that. I was just speaking with Trudy Gerda, the Senior VP of Creative Operations.
Apparently, there's been another rebranding at LOW. Action is out. Documentaries are in.
Do I love it?
Probably not. It means they won't be showing the movie. But get this,
if we had actually shot it in Middling Fair, we probably could have shown it. Pretty funny, huh?
Hilariously, ha. Okay. Well, gotta go. Time is money, especially here in the Philippines.
Hey, the next time you're in L.A., let's do lunch.
I don't think so. After a bad franken-hotdog experience at Tale o' the Pup back
in 2016, I vowed I would never eat lunch in that town again. M'kay, ciao.
Huh. Yeah, I never did find out what A Ram Sang was all about,
but I don't think he wants to hear from me again right now.
Oh, well, they probably wouldn't have explained anything about Danny's life anyway.
Yeah, all right people, let's get back to work, we're losing the light.
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just clear off the table.
We gotta grab all these sheets and wash them. The hotel's gonna be back open
in a couple of days. Okay, okay.
Hey, check this out. Someone wrote all over this one. In pen.
It's a bunch of gibberish.
Man ran gas. Man as rag?
A ram sang. Hmm. What do you make of all that? Your answer is right there. that first word.
Anagrams? You mean, whoever was writing all this was just making anagrams out of the word anagrams?
What an idiot. Be sure to put extra bleach on that one when you wash it.
Will Danny's movie ever see the light of day again? Will Perry J.
Oshmaud ever finish his next project?
And will anyone stop the cleaning crew from wiping out Danny's scribbles?
Well, for possible answers to other questions, be sure to keep listening to
comedy4cast, and be sure to return next April, even if it's in May,
or June, or July, for another big event.
But for now, this is your humble narrator Gary saying, thank you for listening
