I, for one, would cheerfully listen to more Westmore stories.

We are very happy to hear that! Adam did a ton of research into the Westmore family and has plenty of juicy stories he's eager to share.

Great job. What a fascinating history of the origins of film makeup. You guys are both killing it! Love learning more history about our industry!

Such interesting content, and love your presentation! Question...I always thought "Perc" was pronounced "Perk," and "Monte" was pronounced as "Monty." At the end of the day, it's probably tomato/tomahto...just curious to know if you researched the proper pronunciation. Again, I'm just asking - not trying to call anyone out or "correct" anyone. I may be guilty of pronouncing their names incorrectly in my own head. Again, so glad I ran across your podcast, and I'm looking forward to enjoying more of your content! Oh...and btw...Asta is adorable!

Thanks so much for your comment! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed seeing Asta, too. We wanted to change the set-up so the dogs could hang out with us on camera, since they are usually at our feet when we are recording anyways. Hopefully, Ripley will join the party next time. There's an interesting tale about Perc's name pronunciation. During our research, we came across stories about Perc that said he hated when people mispronounced his name as "Perk," especially those who worked for him. One story said that if you called him "Perk" at work (Warner Bros), you would be sent packing! Who knows if it's true, but what seems to be true is that he did NOT like being called "Perk." (We both thought it was pronounced "Perk" for the longest time and by the time we found out, we were happy that we didn't work for him!) Mont, on the other hand, wasn't as particular. His family members called him Mont (pronounced "Mont"), but he was called "Monte" or "Monty" by almost everyone else. We read that Mont's son, Mont Jr. was referred to as Monty by the family, instead of Mont Jr. (on a side note - you may have noticed that I "misspelled" Mont's name in our video (out of habit for how we kept seeing it written in the trades), but we didn't catch it until after it was posted and I was too lazy to fix it. Since he didn't seem to mind, we decided not to change it)
