Cult Classics: 2 Cult 2 Curious
Cult Classic status doesn’t happen by accident—it’s engineered by obsession, scarcity, and a helluva lot of Weird. We set out to map that journey and name the films from the last decade that might evolve from overlooked curiosities into midnight fixtures, using clear criteria: underseen on release, minimal awards heat, fervent fan energy, and a distinct voice that invites rewatching and debate.
If you’re searching for the next cult classic to champion, this guide gives you a map, a shortlist, and the logic behind the love. Listen, share your picks with us, and help build the crowd that turns hidden gems into legends. If you enjoyed the conversation, subscribe, rate, and leave a review to keep this series thriving.
This is possible and it could go in your heart and you die, you know. Good luck.
SPEAKER_00:So we're gonna mount this magnet on your chest that keeps it from entering your heart.
SPEAKER_01:A bone magnet. Gentlemen, let's broaden our minds.
SPEAKER_02:Are they in the proper approach pattern for today? Negative. Oh the weapon!
unknown:Charge the lightning field.
SPEAKER_00:That's uh Bone Magnet is one of my favorite underground guild movies.
SPEAKER_01:So don't think the cult film is dead. I think they are just evolving, and I would like to bring some examples of stuff from the past 10 years that is either in a cult status already or will become a cult film that will be talked about and appreciated for decades to come. Sound good? I guess. To help me on this journey of finding the current and next cult movies, I scoured the internet. I I looked at various message boards, many, many, many articles, pages and pages coming through, and I took all of the different suggestions, what people had thought of what current cult movies have come out, and I coelated them all. I looked to see what films made multiple lists multiple times. I looked at Letterboxd and IMDB to kind of look for popularity because I think to have a cult film it has to be popular but not too popular. And I I can give examples on that. I rated them on how many people had seen and given a film a rating. I looked at the IMDB popularity score. Now, this this can fluctuate on like searches on IMDb and different metrics, but essentially it's like how popular a film is currently. I also looked at how much money that it made. Now, again, you can't have something that was a big box office film that just doesn't gain an audience and does, but I think it's a little more difficult. And for the purposes of this discussion, if it made a ton of money and a lot of people saw it, I think it's kind of a little bit disqualifying for making my top ten or fifteen. Sure. I came up with about 130 films that people had suggested. Oh, good. That had made multiple lists. You know, I looked at a a a lot of films, a lot of possibilities, and I also looked at if it was nominated for an award. You know, it's something that's nominated for the best film, you know, or or best actor. It's getting a lot of praise and attention on its release. I'm gonna kind of knock it down the rankings of possible cult status later on, unless it really has some other key metrics that I think make it worth it. And I also took into account what things were just for streaming, because let's be honest, if something goes straight to streaming, it's gonna be harder for people to really find it in the same way. And it it's it's a smaller audience to make that call film. Doesn't mean it can't do it, but I think that is that is a reasonable thing to examine in the discussion of future cult classics. Now, so top ten are ones we're gonna talk about along with a couple others. For example, things that people talked about were say like birds of prey. Now, popularity-wise, you know, it's relatively on the low end. You know, right now it ranks 3,035th in the popularity of all films on IMDB.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's not terrible though. I mean, I didn't hate it.
SPEAKER_01:No, but it also had 279,000 people have seen it and rated it, and it made over 200 million dollars. Did it really? Yeah, it made 205 million dollars. So it's it's it's it's not hitting any of those underseen bits. Now it has some some cultural cachet, but it's also just I think too much part of the big system, and especially like the uh superhero onslaught that we're currently experiencing.
SPEAKER_00:Especially the Snyderverse, that's a its own sub sub sub category. Right.
SPEAKER_01:I don't think it's it's viable in this discussion.
SPEAKER_00:No, I don't think so.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, uh people also mentioned Sinners as a coming cult classic. Again, this seems ridiculous to me. It's maybe one of the biggest, if not the biggest, film from the past year. Right now it's 40th in all films, popularity-wise. And it's Kugler and it's it's made 368 million dollars. It's Jesus. No, what are you talking about? You can't make 368 million dollars with 330 314,000 people breaking it. Is it underseen compared to Jaws? Yeah, but for a film that came out last year, no, no, it's one of the most seen films in the world. It's crazy.
SPEAKER_00:And it's a great movie, too. Um it's I mean, come on.
SPEAKER_01:With a with a decent budget, yeah. Uh I mean, another good movie that I didn't think fit. So, like at the towards the bottom, Vast of Night, a really cool, really well done, low budget sci-fi film. Its popularity doesn't even rank.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, I've seen that.
SPEAKER_01:I've seen that. It's not even there. Only 49,000 people have ranked it. It it never got a wide theatrical release, so there are no numbers on its how much money it made. But it was uh straight to prime.
SPEAKER_00:Is that the one that's set in the 50s?
SPEAKER_01:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, about the the sound engineer and yeah, yeah. Yeah. Again, I think a great film. Yeah, I think it's a good movie. I think I think it's a really cool film, an underseen gem, I think, is a perfect way to describe that. But I I question how much it has to say in a transgressive sense. I don't think it is doing a ton there. I also don't think it has a it has a cinephile, oh, that's a good movie. But are any of us like making fan pages? Are any of us like let's all get together and watch Vast of Night? No. No. Again, it's a great movie. I would 100% recommend it. But watch it.
SPEAKER_00:It's a good movie.
SPEAKER_01:It's it's nothing to shout to the heavens and really, you know, redefine the way we see films in the future. Right. Now, again, there's obviously there's I can't go through all of these. I just wanted to pick out a few examples of of things that people had said that I said no to. There's a few things on this list that have no information. Those films are just too old. They they didn't, they were too old for this 10-year cutoff rule. I don't think necessarily any all of those even fit, but those are things that Jurassic Park 3 those are things that friends had suggested. So the fuck what I'd say, I think something like maybe like Speed Racer from the past. Like if you had this is a good opportunity. If you have something that you wanted to speak about that's older than 10 years, I think I think Speed Racer is a modern cult film. Even though it had a huge budget, so again made by the Wachowskis or Wachowskis, but was a total flop, completely I I think unappreciated at its time, and has developed through its unique blend of interesting visual storytelling. That's a way to learn. And uh I mean it it really kind of did some things, especially visually, that would become popular and built upon decades later. I don't like the film. No, there has been a a reappraisal of it, and there are big time fans of this that that get it shown in repertoire screenings and really love it. That's not me, but I can see things that they appreciate about it, even though I think it's way too messy, way too over the top with most everything it's doing, and I do not like the viewing experience. I can see why people are into it and how it is it definitely pushes the boundaries of what the proper quote unquote way to make a film, especially a big budget, big budget, all ages action car racing vehicle.
SPEAKER_00:As a person who has been literally diagnosed medically with quote extreme ADHD, that movie fucking gave me a migraine watching it. The zoom ins on every line and every time a character spoke, like I could not handle it. I couldn't handle it. It was too much.
SPEAKER_01:No, but that is that some of that is that visual quirk that makes it stand out. There are very few films that in the totality are like Speed Racer, and I can get how some people identify with elements of that.
SPEAKER_00:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:And it's not me, but I don't I don't love every cult film. I don't like Pink Flamingos, I don't care for it. I I can see why. You know, and there are other John Waters things I like, but I would say I like the idea of John Waters films more than I like John Waters films in and of themselves.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I like some of his later stuff better. Pink flamingos is just kind of gross, and I I think on purpose. It is, though. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And I think in the same way that there was a shock value to what Divine and John Waters were doing with that film, there is a similar shock value with what the Wachowskis were doing with Speed Racer. They were pushing boundaries. I don't like those boundaries being pushed, and I think what other people did with those boundaries uh later on works much better, but I can appreciate what they were trying to do, even though it doesn't work for me. And I yeah, I can recognize people becoming huge fans of it. I don't fully get it, but I understand where they're coming from.
SPEAKER_00:I think it's just a movie that's trying too hard. I don't think it's I don't think it's as groundbreaking as maybe people think it is. I it's just tr it's trying too hard to do something new. Because I don't think it works. And some people might find something in it, sure, but some people find things in t in other terrible movies. Uh but but I just it uh I don't see why that one, of all of their films, that one gets a cult following.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, I think I'd agree with you, but it has developed this fan base that loves it. And has, I think I guess over the years, I think we can all see that it has shifted the way people look at that film. And modern mainstream critical appraisal of that film, because of the the cult fan base around it, has influenced the way people see it today. It's the same way.
SPEAKER_00:Well, okay, well, before you move on, isn't it interesting to think about the reason that that movie gets made because Wikowski's they got a huge, you know, blank check after after The Matrix. Isn't it interesting to think about the idea that Speed Racer the cartoon got a huge cult fan following, which then eventually led to the making of that movie? Because Speed Racer was an extremely niche cartoon. Even for cartoons in that era, it was extremely niche. And so the fact that it created enough of a following to have them make that movie, it's just kind of an irony, really. It's kind of a it's cult on cult violence. Really.
SPEAKER_01:Cult on cult violence. You know, a a lot of these films, you know, they are poorly regarded, and over the years, due to cult appreciation, can completely turn the idea of those films on their head. So, like, just for example, Showgirls. Yeah. Paul Verhoven's, especially at the time, extremely poorly regarded. Expose on you know, exotic dancers and exploitation of women in general. It's weird. Look, it was, you know, it lost tens of millions of dollars, it won seven Razzies.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:It was the first NC17 movie. Yeah. A lot of people called it like the masterpiece of shit back in 1995. Yeah. But in 2012, the critics of Slamp Magazine selected Showgirls as the 14th best film of the 1990s. A few spots above heat and one notch below pulp fiction.
SPEAKER_00:What? It's not a good movie. Like, I look, we like we love Paul Verhoven. His whole thing is satire, metaphor. And he I think brilliantly does those things in a lot of his films. I think one of his most underrated is Starship Troopers, which you know kind of bombed in the box office. But Showgirls, the commentary is there, it's just not a good movie.
SPEAKER_01:I think this this is an example of how the cult fan bases behind these films develop, grow, and nurture ideas about the film that can replace the way we look at the film years down the line. I think you know, people aren't looking at uh as much the the silliness or the gratuity. They're looking at the daringness of it, the subversiveness of it, the satirical nature of the film. Which is why you're looking at at these cult films and what could be yeah. Another one I think that fits that in a completely different genre is the 2021 film The Empty Man. Now, I think this is one of those old-timey Holt films Steam Holt Holt horror cult films, and a big reason for this is that it had a super minimal run, didn't make a ton of money, not a ton of people saw it, and then you couldn't get it. It wasn't streaming, it wasn't on DVD, it had a small DVD print run and it went out of print. You could not see it. And so it was just through murmurs, people like passing, hey, have you seen this movie The Empty Man? It's real weird and it's it's really good, but it's it's you know, you can't, you know, you gotta check it out. I got this this pirated copy, you know.
SPEAKER_00:No shit. And if you say no shit, he'll hang out while you screen it.
SPEAKER_01:At this point, it is widely streaming. Again, it's much more available, but it is a very unique, you know, kind of more of an existential Lovecraftian horror. Not something that generally plays well to like big box office, but you know, in small settings, really like pouring over the film. I I mean I'd love to see it again. I've only seen it the once, and it's not a film like I adore, but I really like the ideas that it has and kind of the mystery behind the film because it's not about explaining or jump scares or like a lot of modern horror tropes, it just kind of subsumes you into this dark mystery and this foreboding. Yeah, where it's like it's it's it's one of like the few kind of more like cosmic horror films that I think works. It's it's based off a comic book, but that doesn't matter because I don't think it has a ton. You could you can experience both of those completely separately, and you don't need to have read the comic at all, but it is one of those I think that's slowly going to like really get a foothold in the horror zeitgeist for years to come. I think maybe the best of all of these that I want to discuss is I saw the TV glow.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, interesting.
SPEAKER_01:For me, I think this is the best film of all of these. And I I think it hits and ticks all of the boxes in a way that none of these other films had. I think it's still relatively obscure. Box office was minimal, not a ton of people have seen it, but all of those who have seen it sing its praises. It's deeply entrenched in unfortunately what's still a transgressive experience, and that's of the LGBTQ lived experience. It's also firmly in entwined with like the 80s, 90s cultural aspect. It has really weird sensibilities and unique visual styles, and it has a an open heart that takes you in and moves you, the way a lot of films don't really do nowadays.
SPEAKER_00:Well, and it's structured in a weird way. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:The the way that it's framed and the lens is looking at this experience, and the the nature that it's trying to metaphorically present, the nature of someone who's doesn't feel as they should feel. You know, they they can't experience their their lived self the way they need to. I think it it's providing a voice for what unfortunately is like an underserved community, and I think it's doing it in an artistic lens that really heightens all of the horror and and sadness that's present in there. And I think it's it's something that's gonna last for a long time. And as Jane, Jane Schoen Schoenbrenn like does more films, this will be one of those that like really stands out as something special in their work.
SPEAKER_00:It was so visually stylized and such a really interesting like sci-fi adventure that the sci-fi part doesn't really matter, though it completely does. It's not structured in your in your classic sort of Hollywood narrative sense, but you're right, in in the in the way that it the commentary it's making. It's also a visual feast. It's it's an incredible, it it's almost like Mandy level visual like intake. Like it's it's it's almost like Tron like with its crazy neon and it's all it's you know, and and also it's it's structured strangely in the in the the way the narrative unfolds. I think it is going to be a classic. I remember the first time I watched it, I was like, wow, that was really, really interesting. I don't know if I'd like it. I don't know if I fully understand what they're saying off the bat, but I really want to watch it again. And I really want someone else to watch it with me. And so I like, you know, pour over it again and again, and I'm like, oh, okay, yes, I get it. But it's so against the grain that I think it does have the makings of a cult classic for sure. Yes, very much so.
SPEAKER_01:I only did nine, I don't really feel like doing the rest because I just wanted to mention a couple others that are from my own personal experience that maybe you haven't seen that I just want to mention. One in a similar way to I Saw the TV Glow is The People's Joker.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I saw that mentioned a couple of times.
SPEAKER_01:Which is especially in our modern comic book infused media landscape. It's taking those well trodden characters in. And devices and doing their own thing with them in their own weird way. And again, it's all about the trans experience and finding oneself, but also by way of you know this mix of like Harley Quinn and Joker and what that means with the sexual politics, who can be what, and who has the right to like use these culturally relevant other DC characters like the penguin or the Riddler or Batman and making a narrative. It also has that underground quality, it has multiple filmmakers, multiple styles. Some of it's extremely amateurish, some of it's like an animated style. It's it's kind of running the gamut, but it's also quite good and quite entertaining. I think it's one of those that's when it finds an audience and really takes off. I think it might be a classic of the time. Like at this current moment, only 2,000 people have rated it on IMDB. So it's extremely low. But I would suggest checking out Vera Drew's unique take on the DC universe and their experience in the transness of it all. And one last one that I'll tell you about a very underseen, super bizarre film called Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway. Do you know this film at all, Skip? I do not actually. I would like you to do me a favor. I want you to pull up the trailer for me. If you just type in Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway, click on videos, it's the first thing that pops up. Tell me, all right, now start it up and watch it. And if you have the sound on, that would be great for you to hear it as well.
SPEAKER_00:All right, that's a lot. Yeah, it's uh that's a lot, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:It's like an Atari VHS Nigerian action Yodorascu romp, all right?
SPEAKER_00:Like all the classics are.
SPEAKER_01:It's it had a fascinating Kickstarter journey, guerrilla filming in Ethiopia for a bat Afro Futurist vintage exploitation mind swipe. That's referential, it's reinterpretive, it's rebellious, and it's ridiculous. It's surreal, it has this like weird level of artifice to everything, but it it's referencing all of these other things, but it has so much to say about like our modern culture, but reinterpreted through like an 80s action spy film, but with an an actor, you know, a black actor who has like some physical deformities, but it's also like about religion and cold war politics, but all through like this surreal, trippy dreamscape. It's it's one of those like films that I can only imagine if I had seen it in college, I would have just like gone nuts for it. Right. It's it's absurdist, but like has this pointedly deep existential satire to the whole thing. It's it's shabby and amateurish, but big-brained, and it has a lot to say in a very hodgepodge and multi-layered way. I don't know if it's actually ever gonna find an audience the way it probably deserves, if only for its bizarre spectacle. But I think it has a lot that speaks to the cult film nerd's brain, and I think would resonate if given the opportunity. So if you get a chance, check it out. You might uh you might like maybe maybe get high and watch Hundreds of Beavers and then and then this, or or maybe pair this with Psycho Gorman or something.
SPEAKER_00:Interesting. Reminds me of Miami Connection and like how not in the not in the fact Miami Connection is obviously way too way more one-dimensional, but one of those things where Miami Connection would never have been seen were it not for you know an employee of Alamo Draft House finding the reel of it on on eBay and buying it, and and then now everybody knows Miami Connection as one of the great cult classics of all time.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. And I'm I'm not the arbiter of everything cult or unique in the world. Obviously, like it had to pass through many filters down the line for it to roll into my path. You know, I'm just a middle-aged guy in in suburban middle America, so it's not exactly I'm on the cultural forefront of what's happening in media. But there are some things I I can see that aren't everywhere out there, and thankfully we have the internet, you know, that's connecting us all over the world, so you can find something like this.
SPEAKER_00:Can I throw out a couple that I think are are sort of under yeah, because I have a list, but I'm not gonna put out the whole thing because it's too much. But uh I think some honorable mentions are, and this is this is it if I I picked three varied for four different reasons why I think they are possible.
SPEAKER_01:Are any of these on the on this bigger list? No.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, okay. I don't think so. All right. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have brought it up. Let me let me double check, but I can't believe Barbarian was on there. Come on, everybody loves that movie.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I mean uh Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. There's a movie called Sissy that I quite enjoy that I think is really interesting commentary, not widely seen, probably streaming only, an actor in it I think is very talented. I've seen in other stuff that is quite good. It's a fun horror movie that deals with influencer culture and new age conspirituality culture. It's not a perfect movie or anything, it's flawed in some pretty major ways, but I mean I think it is good and a decent horror movie. Then, of course, you and I have talked about this before, the movie Revenge, which I think is fucking brilliant. Yes. And it is well regarded, but only in small circles. Most people don't know of the film, but it it is the ultimate female revenge movie. Well, it's up there with, you know, kill Bill or whatever, but I mean it's one of the best I've ever seen, which is a very big genre, by the way. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:This was a film that Corley Fargeau did before she did The Substance. Yes. Many more people know about. Such a good movie.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, now they now they kind of know her name, but Revenge is it's such an easy rewatch to, even though it's hard to watch, it's so compelling and also satisfying that I kind of want to watch it like all the time. Yeah, it's great.
SPEAKER_01:That naked uh standoff in the at the corner of the hallway. Oh man.
SPEAKER_00:The pacing is good, the tension is good, and and though the the subject matter at the beginning is hard to watch, kind of like I'll uh, you know, I spit on your grave, or or straw dogs, or you know, something in that vein, it's still easier to watch that, and the comeuppance is so much better that other than Kill Bill, I don't think there's any movie that rivals that in that genre at all.
SPEAKER_01:It's funny, I just I was just able to get that DVD just this past week. So nice. I have I'm gonna yeah, I'm I can't wait to watch it again.
SPEAKER_00:And then the third one I think is an old it's an older film, but I think it is because we mentioned Rocky Horror, which is is a tent pole, and we mentioned Big Lebowski, which I do think is also a tent pole. I think we have really slept on Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
SPEAKER_01:Mmm. Yeah. It's breaking the tenure rule, but I will allow it because I love it.
SPEAKER_00:And it came out not too long, if not around the same time as as Big Lobowski. But granted, it's made in the mold of Rocky Horror, but it's a glam rock, introspective, queer musical that has a lot to say, and I think works really well. That I feel like people do put on performances of this, that they do put on showings of this. It is sort of in the same vein as Rocky Horror in its cult following, and and for good reason. Uh it's a great it's great, the soundtrack is brilliant. What is his name? John David Mitchell is that what isn't it?
SPEAKER_01:John Cameron Mitchell.
SPEAKER_00:John Cameron Mitchell, that's his name, yeah. He also did another, I think, sort of cult underground movie that we could honorably mention called Short Bus, which is not seen very much because it's very sexually explicit, but also very good. Uh I think Hedwig is another major column in this genre. And yes, it is older than the 10-year-old, but it is worth mentioning. If you haven't seen it, please watch it. It's my favorite musical.
SPEAKER_01:I love it.
SPEAKER_00:Really? I love it. More than once?
SPEAKER_01:Yes, and but once also gets I I can say favorite musical is like because I feel like Hedwig is more of a musical than once is a musical with music in uh do you know what I'm trying to say?
SPEAKER_00:Oh here, here, I'll I'll help you. I think I think Hedwig is a rock opera. I think once is a musical. Okay.
SPEAKER_01:A subtle musical. How about my favorite rock opera then? Then we don't have to have the debate.
SPEAKER_00:Sure. Yeah, because Tommy sucks. We really just have to come back to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, which is both ahead of its time in every possible way, defines this genre in every possible way, and also defies the genre in every possible way. It is the ultimate cult classic. I don't think there's I think it is the pivot point in which all cult classics revolve. I think you're 100% correct. No notes. We we just have to throw it out there. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:No, it's a fact. It's a fact, yeah. But I didn't want to talk too much about that because it's everybody knows Rocky Horror, and it's like it is that pinnacle. So yeah, I don't know if we're gonna have Rocky horrors in the future. I don't know if we'll have the same ability to do that. Yeah, but I have hope. I think there are films that are underseen, underserved, but are expressing things that are butting against the mainstream and politics and society, in in gender, in narrative, in form that really can find an audience and really mean something and become the new touchstones for generations down the line where you know I saw the TV Glow isn't a cult classics, it's just a classic. And it just maybe Hedwig is a similar or can be in the future.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and and we didn't even really go much into documentaries like you know, Great Gardens or American movie necessarily, or yeah. I didn't do I I avoided foreign films as well.
SPEAKER_01:Foreign films and animation, yeah. You know, it's no mad god in here, yeah. It yeah, I mean it was a possibility, but no, especially like for the foreign films, it's like just because we haven't seen it doesn't mean it isn't big somewhere else or isn't like culture relevant. Sure. It feels disingenuous in a way to like put too much of those on the cult classic. I think you can have some of that that's become cult classics in the West, but uh we don't need to add more ambiguity to this already amorphous uh topic. So I just kind of want to avoid avoid some of those that you know certain certain genres, certain types of films, again, animated documentaries which already have more of a niche market in the first place to then double or triple down on cult status. It was just like that's a bit much. I mean, we could be all day, so I kind of exercise those. So if that's why you didn't see them on the list, that's why we didn't talk about them, trying to go in a different direction. And again, you know, it it all remains to be seen how things shake out. But we've given you some possibilities that both we and the internet mindscape as a whole see as good fodder for cult classics of the now and of the future. But if there's something you think we miss or something you're really interested in discussing with us, feel free to reach out. We'd love to hear from you. You can send us an email, hit us up on social media. If you get the chance, please like, share, and subscribe to this podcast. It's the best way for us to get heard and seen and start more of a dialogue about these cult films and what you like, what you don't like, what they mean to you. If you can, please give us not one, not two, not three, not four, but five angry inches on the podcast app of your choice, ideally Apple Podcasts. Again, best way for us to get heard and seen. And we'd like to thank you for taking this journey with us down the strange winding road of what it cult films are and what they can be and what they will be. Hope you've enjoyed, and we hope you stop back for next pod when we're talking about something completely different. But until we become a cult classics ourselves, Skip, what should they do?
SPEAKER_00:Well, they should probably clean up after themselves to some sort of reasonable degree. They should probably uh make sure they have I mean, I was gonna do a Rocky Horror, but then I forget the lyrics of the song, so never mind that. Make sure they've tipped their bartenders, their KJs, their DJs, their podcasters. Make sure they've supported their local comic shops and retailers, and from Dispatch Ajax, we would like to say, Godspeed, fair wizards. Classic. How do you do?
