Thank you! :-) Maybe they have -- my cousin was poised to become a staff writer on a show if a pilot about forest cops got picked up, but sadly it didn't.

Because Spector wasn't involved, but Medley was.

Medley produced that song, not Phil Spector. So you can listen to it knowing it wasn't made by an abusive, murdering piece-of-shit, at least.

I'm from Rhode Island; we've got the oldest-standing synagogue in the United States, down in Newport.

Reply to TIL, in film, a clapperboard’s purpose is ensuring proper synchronization of audio and video in post-production. It provides a distinct “clap” along with a visual event for the editor to reference at the start of a scene. by PianoCharged
I learned this the hard way taking a film course in college -- manually lining up the audio with the footage takes time, even digitally.

You can hear a very "Rite of Spring"-inspired cue as C-3PO is making his way up the sand dunes.
