eliza martin i'll tell you right now never get to like that thing mom why because he's not like other pets he's scary and he'd be different boy are you prejudiced you don't even know oh hey mark why don't you put a leash on him then you won't worry about him getting lost do you let him sleep with you of course not i'm so crazy that mine's going to be even crazier because i'm going to get a pony my mother isn't going to like this she won't have to she'll never see it yeah get the picture nigel you've been buying [Music] look at that what is that what does it look like it's mice frozen mice well for nigel martin for heaven's sake i'm sorry mom i forgot to tell you when i put them in the freezer scott couldn't keep them for me this week always like them yeah what about me i almost had a heart attack well nigel's been acting kind of strange lately he's been hiding in dark corners not really wanting me to touch him that's all we need mice in the freezer and the six makeup upstairs i just may run away from home and you guys can fix your own dinner look at his eyes they look kind of strange like a feral children yes they do look strange do you think he's going blind i don't know martin well you're a doctor don't you know what's wrong with him well martin uh snake probably has sicknesses that a people doctor like me knows absolutely nothing about look it's too late to do anything for him tonight though if he doesn't look better tomorrow perhaps you better take himself dead okay all right martin what did you do oh what happened now oh nothing nothing i'm just cleaning out of cake sorry i thought you just cleaned it out yesterday oh well actually he got a little sick oh no well if he's sick i guess you better try to find out what's the matter with it maybe you could call scott but scott's not home right now he's over at the library during the zoo show hey but maybe i could bring nigel over that sounds like a good idea hey kids there ain't no phone in the library yeah why'd you bring your bowling ball forward it isn't a bowling ball yeah what is it friend it's it's a snake a 30-foot rattler um [Music] oh me [Music] together [Music] is on to mine a kid he has something of mine but we're not gonna have a taste going on in here what was it that he took my bowling bag it's very important i have to have it right away all right all right i'll find him don't worry he won't get away from me where are you headed zusha oh well that's in the children's library enough you go there quietly and i'll find the bag and bring it to you okay well okay but it's very important i have to have it right away don't worry don't worry i'll bring it for you all right okay my next time okay look it'll be a little quiet i'm trying to calm him down and a boy there's nothing to be afraid of he's not going to of like fan face you like that [Music] how you like that this is called a teddy bear he's flat does he come out during the day or at night right it's nice the reason for this is because of his coloration now have you ever been in the woods at night with trees with with the moon shining through the trees and you get little spots of darkness and little spots of light well this animal blends right in with it this is the red-tailed ball constrictor and it's a non-poisonous snake if it bites you it won't poison you but it can't hurt but fall constrictors are usually nice atoms they don't hurt people they don't need people and there's really there's really no need to be afraid of in fact there's a fella out here now that has one and he's not afraid of them at all mark come on up martin show you how people can can get used to snakes martin's a nice guy and he's look at him he's not afraid of him at all so there's no need to be afraid of nature as long as you know how to handle them and take good care of them they're going to be nice to you snakes have no ears they can't hear a thing the way they do here is by sound sound vibrations they pick up the vibrations through their skin and this is the way they feel they're not wet and slimy they're very dry and they feel cool because they're cold-blooded they also like to wrap around things they feel very secure and happy when they're wrapped around things the reason he's going up my sweater is because snake don't really like bright lights and they try to find dark corners to hide hey scott that was a great show you didn't come here just to see me in action did you i would have come anyway but i brought lingerie along i've been worried about him he he threw up a little while ago what did i tell you about handling nigel too much especially after he's eaten any other symptoms his eyes like a film yeah what's happening tj he's getting ready to share he's gone it's gone the kids can't have stole the bag nigel must still be in the library [Music] you see there's a snake you better grab something to hit it with if he had been found we would have heard it by now let's just go and find it come on [Music] [Music] mommy yes dear look come on let's go hello oh thank you [Music] my oh i just love the peace and quiet in this library nothing unexpected ever happens here [Music] [Music] [Music] uh great film so good um i have another one that seems like it's from the same series uh it's called the day the boa ate the laundry but it's uh animated but i think it's the same kid in same boa same family um so lots of fun there you could tell that that film has been was shown a lot because there's all the scratches and all the splices and all that stuff and so um normally uh the disney films i have my collection be beat up like that because they get shown a lot and so this one must have been a real crowd pleaser with kids um the bag of frozen mice so good so good so uh i just wanted to say that tomorrow i'm gonna be doing a screening at the uh houston air terminal museum and um well at you know virtually uh via zoom we'll have a private zoom thing and so you can uh participate i'm gonna put a link uh to where you can buy tickets and the tickets go to support um the houston air terminal museum and also um a little bit of money goes to av geeks uh for doing this show and so it'll be some stuff that we've seen here but also some other stuff and basically it'll be uh old films about commercial air flight and how much it's changed um so it's a lot of fun and i like i said i'll put um i'm gonna do it right now as we talk i'm gonna put uh comments put it in the comments to um in the lakes also thank you so much for uh buying coffee uh yesterday was a crazy day where i got a lot of coffee but um it's always a nice way to support us um right there yeah you can buy us coffee uh somebody wrote um i missed the lesson of um boy in the boa well there is no lesson the lesson is there's a kid who has a bow constrictor and kids get excited watching it um so yeah it's provocative in that it gets kids brains thinking and they have fun so let's see what we've got time wise all right so this next film is a drug film um it kind of takes a long time to get to its point but like many drug films uh the danger is not only the kids will not pay attention to it but the danger is that they might learn something from the drug film about how to use the drug so there's a scene here where somebody is rolling a joint and so they might take notes i don't know all right so here's jump enjoy so [Music] [Music] bobby hurry up and get your jacket or you'll be late michael michael michael we're leaving now and remember pick bobby up at 5 30. now don't forget 5 30. yeah okay

[Music] wow um that was really quite something um kind of an epic uh drug education film um and you know it's it's different because it doesn't have a narrator uh doesn't have a voice of god who's kind of talking about the dangers of the drugs it's trying to illustrate that through the narrative um now how we interpret the narrative is i would say the kids birthday party was far more dangerous uh to the kid who jumped than the uh marijuana party but yeah it's just me anyways i you know trying to draw parallels and stuff like that so the editing was nuts and i guess the filmmakers were like yeah we want to relate to teens and young adults and and identify with the fact that their lives are hassles they're constantly being hassled by their parents who don't understand them and drugs seem like a convenient way to kind of get past that but um you know and about peer pressure and all that stuff that's all the things that um drug films kind of talk about so um before we go i just want to leave you with some tv trailers enjoy i cannot touch your body as a man but my child shall live as a man among others my child and yours in the privacy of a woman's room against her will the
