Speaking of current events, it seems to me Ukraine would have better luck getting Trump's "support" if they negotiated a deal for guaranteed access to their nation's BOOB supply.
Another great read. Thank you! I had no reason to watch Battleship Potemkin until I took Vlada Petric's film course at Harvard. He thought it was brilliant. Then again, he thought he himself was brilliant, so that was automatically suspect. Was that where you saw it too? In any case, keep the posts coming, take care and keep the faith.
Oddly enough, Mike, Odessa may be the only place in the world you and I have both visited. I was there just before Chernobyl, filming something when I was writing for Yakov Smirnoff. (He was born there) He used to have a pretty good joke in his act in the late 80’s that I don’t think I wrote for him but maybe my brother Mike did.

Thanks for all the laughs and great pictures every week.
I almost wet my pants because I didn’t want to stop reading until I found out whether you glow in the dark now….. AND YOU DIDN’T TELL US! Still a bloody good read. 💛
Great read…Hope to see you in Bristol sometime soon. Crocodile Club unfortunately died a painful death. Would you ever consider a political roast at the Rockwell Theatre (Memorial Boulevard)?
Crocodile Club gone? Oh no! I'd come back to Bristol for anything -- just pay our bus fare, put me up & feed me. I told you before, I think, I'm doing a tribute to Bristol for my mid-Sept Substack.

Thanks for a most entertaining history lesson. Wish history had been this engaging in school. 🤪🤓
