Happy Wednesday.
You are halfway through the work week, my friends, and the weekend is upon us, and there is going to be so much to do, but we've got so much to talk about tonight on Nightlight, because first and foremost, I would like to introduce the lovely and talented Dom Lee, who is in for Conrad tonight.
Conrad is under the weather.
He is ill, as they say, in certain circles, and he is taking a well-deserved sick day.
Dom, his temperature was 112 last night, so we just thought it would be best.
112.
Yeah, to send him packing.
I'm sure he's doing fine tonight.
I'm not doing too bad, you know?
I love being on this show.
I love being on Nightlight, you know?
I'm on other shows on the Civic Media Network, but this show always gets me going.
And you want to know why?
It's because of you, Pete.
So thank you.
Wow.
Thank you for being here.
It made you blush tonight, so.
Listen, buddy, that's uh, it is great to have you we've worked together several times now and it's always fun and you you have made the rounds of the civic media shows you you hosted or Produced John and Gordy.
Mm-hmm.

I find that strange.
So you got Greg Bach, the awesome Greg Bach.
That's cool.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
So you're looking good, buddy.
Are you staying healthy?
Because I would hate to have you go down halfway through the show and then have to bring in Parker or another producer because that would be
Yeah, I'm doing pretty good.
I have, I had a couple of New Year's resolutions that I did.
I'm trying, I'm starting to work out more.
You know, eat more, eat healthy.
You know, after work, I'm not going to fast food.
Culver's has me in a chokehold right now.
So I would say eating healthier, making my own meals.
But overall, Pete, I'm doing pretty good.
I'm pretty good.
I'm glad to hear that.
What
do you make at home?
Like, what meals are you making when you make dinner at
You are an all-American.
Kid.
And I say kid, when I say kid, I mean adult.
But that's fantastic.
And you are Italian, correct?
Like you're like of that famous Chicago Italian breed where you make spaghetti, you make your own pasta, you probably have your own pasta maker at home, I would have meant.
lot worse.
Listen.
If it makes you feel better, I'll call you the Italian medallion.
There you go.
You like that?
I love that.
Listen, I want to make you comfortable.
We'll
this, buddy.
And I'm glad you're... Have you stayed healthy this winter for the most part?
Are you keeping illness at the door?
That's good.
Well, good for you.
Well, I'm happy to have you.
It's great to work with you once again.
And Conrad, if you're listening, and I seriously doubt you are, get well soon and take care of yourself, buddy.
But we'll hold down the fort here while you're gone.
We've got new sports and weather coming up in just 20 minutes, folks.
Civic Media's news team will keep you posted as we always do.
That is coming up at the bottom of the hour.
Great show tonight.
We've got really fun guests.
Joining me at 535 tonight will be Marv Wall.
Marv is the executive director of the Mulva Center here in Green Bay, a great museum.
We've talked about it before on the show.
They have outstanding exhibits, a great space, and Marv is going to join us at 535 to tell us what's going on.
And I feel bad for saying this.
I still have not been to the Mulva Center, and I think they show great movies.
They have great exhibits.
It's just a dynamite facility.
So one of these days I will make it over there But Marv will tell us what is happening and Dom, you know, he Marv has kind of a name like you kind of an old-school name Marv Dom you guys look like you should you sound like you should be hanging out together at a social club and
I don't know.
Those are great names.
Dom and Marv.
you know?
See what you do during the breaks.
you know, kind of cozy up.
Maybe before you know it, you guys will be palling around Marvin Dom.
It's a great name.
I'm excited to have Marvin on the show for the first time.
Then in hour number two at 635, the awesome Jim Healy will be here.
Jim Healy is one of the programmers of the Wisconsin Film Festival and UW Cinematheque there in Madison.
Dom, have you been to UW Cinematheque?
I have
no clue what that is.
No.
It is, well, I've been there.
I've hosted Q and A's there and I've seen movies there and it's the phenomenal facility right there at Vilas Hall in Madison on University.
It's a free program and they, you know, screen great films, classics, some new movies.
They have great Q and A's there and it is open to the public.
So if you're a movie, if you're a movie buff, definitely check out Cinematech and Jim will be here.
He's one of the programmers.
He also programs or is one of the programmers.
of the uh, wisconsin film festival so we'll talk to jim and see what we can expect maybe at this year's festival which is just around the corner believe it or not and we will talk movies jim one year on facebook uh mentioned that he had watched 735 movies in one year and i found that amazing and that is pretty typical for him so he's a big time cinephile and we will uh we'll have a great discussion about movies with uh jim heli at 635 and then at 720
Patty Vasquez ladies and gentlemen brings the funny you've probably seen Patty if you've seen her it's probably been at a Wisconsin comedy club She is a longtime stand-up comic now.
She's a radio host as well She's had a remarkable career and she's very funny.
She's gonna be working memories ballroom in Port Washington So we'll talk to Patty about her upcoming date here in Wisconsin She is a lot of fun and we're from the same hood more or less in Chicago So I'm excited to connect with my old pal Patty that will be a lot of fun
Dom if I had to tell you Who the most who the highest grossing actor was in the history of Hollywood?
Would you have a guess would you even know where to start?
I
the way
That's a great guess.
Well, I mean it's listen if someone had asked me that question I probably would have said Tom Hanks Tom Cruise Harrison Ford, you know
Maybe Scarlett Johansson.
It was Scarlett Johansson, but she has been dethroned.
Zoe Saldana is the highest grossing movie actor of all time.
She has made her films, I should say, have made, and they're going by film grosses, $15 billion.
She was in all three of the avatars.
She was in three Star Trek's two Avengers movies one of the Pirates of the Caribbean and she's probably gonna stay in the Top slot for quite a while because there are at least two more Avatar films in the pipeline.
So Zoe's sell down 15
I will say, I don't think those movies made that money because of Zoe Saldana, but it is a testament to her talent.
She is an Oscar winner and she is an unbelievably talented actor.
But I don't think she carries like the star power, even of a Scarlett Johansson who was number one before her or a Tom Hanks, but that could change.
I mean, she's a big shot and that was kind of cool to read that.
We've got a lot to get to too.
We've got...
You know what, Tom?
Let's not waste any more time.
I'm sick of screwing around here.
We're 10 minutes in.
I think it's time we get to the night like question of the night.
Let's talk about the question.
Okay, question.
Question.
Domanda.
Question.
You ready for this, Tom?
All right, you're nodding.
It's radio, buddy.
You got to say yes.
Let's hear it.
Who is your favorite coach?
Who is your favorite coach?
It could be college.
It could be pro.
It could be fictional.
And I got the inspiration of this question because I think the movie Coach Carter dropped today and I started thinking.
And yesterday we were talking about all the coaching vacancies in the NFL.
A lot of coaches have been fired.
A lot of good coaches have been fired or walked away.
Mike Tomlin.
John Harbaugh, Mike McDonald.
You could argue whether or not Mike McDonald is a good coach.
He didn't have a great record, but he was kind of a hotshot when he took that gig in Miami.
And who was the other one?
Someone, oh, Brian Stafansky, a two-time coach of the year, but he's been stuck in Cleveland.
They let him go.
So there you go.
It's coaches are everywhere.
So let us know who is your favorite coach, folks.
That is tonight's question of the night.
You can let me know at eight five five seven five two four eight four two eight five five seven five civic If you are listening on the app you can send us a text over the app It's very easy to use the civic media app and we are on statewide So just click the little icon next to the station you're listening in or on and uh send us who your favorite coaches if you're watching the radio on the stream Drop us a stream comment and give us a like or a follow while you're there at facebook or youtube or
Wherever you happen to be joining us from so Do you have an answer to this Dom?
I want to say my favorite coach.
I have two And they're both actually I'm gonna say three and I know you and I are both bear fans
jump ship here Dom You might not be happy with this Vince Lombardi and I love George Hallis.
I love lovey Smith I think it looks like Ben Johnson's working out, but I'm gonna say
This one party's not my favorite all time, but you could argue he is the greatest coach of all time.
My two favorites are in the world of hoops, and they are Greg Popovich and Phil Jackson.
Oh, yeah.
Yep.
Great.
I mean, 10 titles, sticks with the bulls, four with the Lakers.
You can't argue with that.
And then Pop, who I think is a free thinker.
I love the way he thinks.
I love how he's kind of like Phil Jackson, even though I don't think they really liked each other if they kind of had this rivalry.
And Phil Jackson said at one point, Greg Popovich has to have an asterisk next to his one of his titles because I think it was during his strike year or something like that.
But they are both fantastic coaches.
And then in football, I would say it's hard to argue.
And I'm basing this on what I've heard other people say over the years about Vince Lombardi.
So I got to put Vince Lombardi up there too.
What about you, Dom?
really
I'm a big fan.
I like Popovich.
I like that he speaks his mind.
I know sometimes people think sports people or coaches should stay in their lane.
I disagree.
I think if you, if you, you have, you're entitled to an opinion like anybody else and Popovich is great.
I liked it.
I thought he was a great motivator for that one year and 85.
I remember it.
He was great.
But I don't know that he's a great X's and O's.
He's a great coach.
I don't know.
I just don't know if I'd put him in that upper echelon, but
But definitely Phil Jackson, Greg Popovich for me, and Vincent Bardi.
And don't tell any of my bare friends.
So let us know who your favorite coach is.
Is it the, are we going to break already?
We are coming right back, folks.
And when we do, I'm going to tell you about what is the most dangerous sport.

Welcome back.
I'm Pete Schwab, and this is Nightlight.
Great to have you with me, folks, on this Wednesday night.
Conrad is under the weather, folks.
He's got the pig flu, but I'm sure he'll be back tomorrow.
I hope not.
If it's the pig flu, I want him to take a week.
You know what I mean, Tom?
I was teasing him for having scurvy, but he just had the scratchy throat, and I looked it up myself.
I self-diagnosed, and I told him to take a night off.
Is that strange for a boss to...
to do like a little brief inspection.
save him some money.
Yeah, I don't know if he reaches deductible or not.
I'm just trying to help a brother out, you know.
Hey, new sports and weather folks is coming up in just seven minutes.
So sit tight for that.
This is a fun night here at Nightlight tonight.
My guests are Marv Wall from the...
Malva Center in Malva Cultural Center in Green Bay Jim Healy from Madison Cinematheque UW Cinematheque is here to talk movies in the second hour and some funny Patty Vasquez joins me in hour number three at 7 20 our question of the night is who is your favorite coach a Very important question that needs to be asked.
I do want to say Dom I do this once in a while people text me at the last minute when we're about to go off the air and I miss it And I don't like to miss texts from listeners.
So last night
Right at the end of the show our question was who is your current movie or TV crush and Bridget from the 818 said officer Dante on Chicago PD Benjamin Let Levi Aguilar, I think she's saying the actor's name is do you know that actor Dom?
I don't I'm gonna have to
go now.
I met your girlfriend.
You brought your girlfriend with you to the screening of the Godfather of Green Bay in December.
Very nice girl.
You're dating up, as they say, so good for you.
But do you have a celebrity TV or movie crushed on?
You started with Rob, and I was like, wait a minute, you have a girlfriend, but that's okay, could be a man crush.
I
a great one, yeah.
Now, would your girlfriend be upset if she heard you say you had a harmless crush on Margot
You want a blissful home life.
So before the break, I talked about this.
I found this.
I thought this was great.
This was from a wise brother media.
Dangerous sports that you wouldn't necessarily think are dangerous.
Number one, water polo.
Wow.
And here's what, under the description, it says, one person says, I'm a pretty strong guy, but nothing prepared me for the brutality of what goes on above and especially below the surface.
It's straight up mauling a water-based combat sport.
Another says they still have scarves from people's finger and toenails and another compared it to competitive drowning.
That's
Absolutely.
Just treading water would be exhausting for that length of time.
And I knew there was like jockeying, and it got a little physical.
I had no idea to this degree, though.
Another one, and this surprised me, darts.
It's not just the risk of you getting hit in the back.
It's alcoholism.
One dark player said, major incidents of surprises of the liver.
And it's not a joke.
You compete in the pubs, you drink, it calms your nerves and you drink more.
Another said, how many sports are there where you can actually drink and smoke when it's not your turn?
I used to do a joke in my stand-up act that golf, if you could wear a cardigan and smoke and drink between turns, not really a sport.
It's a skill, definitely.
But they put darts in that category as well.
Number three, sumo wrestling, and I get that 100%.
One person says it's the only sport I watch, and injuries are extremely common, especially for the knees.
That's weird, because the water polo and the darts were a bit of a surprise.
Nothing with wrestling in the title would surprise me that it's a dangerous sport.
I'm sure the injuries are crazy.
Here's one, Dom, for you.
Cheerleading.
Yep.
And I know God, like I remember I was friends with some of the a couple of the dudes that were cheerleaders and they said it's really stressful.
Like you're launching a girl in the air and you
Sometimes they met now the fall is typically broken a little bit.
They don't just outright miss them, but that would be terrifying And the other one that I think a tug of war is on this list which I found strange But it says if you look at the Wikipedia page it lists death and dismemberment In its accidents people aren't understanding physics and use a rope not rated for the tension the rope snaps and with the force of a combined pull snaps back and can kill people on impact
And here I was about to start a tug of war club here in Marinette, Wisconsin.
I do think like gymnastics, like I see what these girls and these guys do when they're in, here's what makes me what I don't get.
How do you practice that?
Like these people are doing triple flips.
And how do you even practice that?
I know you get spotted when you do one, but it is insanity to me.
And what they can do is such a skill.
It it's really impressive, but I can see where it would be dangerous as well.
it.
It's even worse if you're heavy in gymnastics Tom I'm not saying your sister was a bit harder to do some of the stunts Daniel Wheeler on the stream says my favorite coach is Tom bourvin.
He was my high school tennis coach
That's pro.
We should have opened it up there too.
Yeah.
Folks, if you've had a coach that's your favorite too, feel free to share that as well.
Stacy Sue on the stream says Mike Holmgren.
I thought we might hear about Mike might make that list too.
All right.
New sports and weather is next.
We're coming back with Marv Wallets, Peach Wabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio
Welcome
back.
I'm Pete Chihuahua.
This is Nightlight.
It is great to have you here on this Wednesday night, folks.
We are broadcasting live from beautiful downtown Green Bay and being produced from Madison tonight.
Dom Lee is sitting in for Conrad, who is, he's got the bird flu.
No, it's Scurvy.
I don't know.
He's got the mumps.
I
know.
Conrad is onto the weather.
ask, I gotta ask real quick.
Sorry.
What
Scurvy?
Scurvy's like that when you lack vitamin C a lot of guys that used to sail used to get it back when I was in the merchant marines a lot of the guys were good I was kidding though.
My love when you don't know like for all you know I was on ships with guys that had scurvy.
Now this is years ago and they lacked vitamin C so they would get like these gum diseases and It was you know kind of a serious thing.
It was that and Ricketts that was the other big illness where you I think your bones just deteriorate but
You know, even though I gave Conrad the once over and I examined him last night, I am not a doctor and I am not qualified to answer these questions.
However, there is a guy about to join the show who is much smarter than me and we will ask him all kinds of questions about really cool stuff you might see at the Mova Cultural Center.
He is the executive director there right there in Green Bay, a beautiful, really cool facility that we have in downtown Green Bay.
Mr. Marv Wall joins me tonight.
Hi, Marv.
Hi, how are you doing
tonight?
Good.
How are you?
Really good.
Maybe I
find
some reference.
Maybe it's Lupus.
Lupus is another great... Hey, any guest who comes on the show, Marv, and opens with a Seinfeld joke is tops in my book.
So I'm even more glad you're here now.
Great reference.
Right.
Do you have a favorite coach, Marv?
Favorite coach?
Wow.
That's our question of the night.
My Packers roots will probably get me to Lambeau and Lombardi.
We actually had an exhibit here for that.
The Packers loaned us when the draft was in town and it had the history of the Packers from 1919 on and what Cruelly Lambeau did with his relationships with the Prescazette and such.
You got to give him kudos for starting the best franchise in the NFL.
That's that's pretty hard to argue with that and I we've talked about this and I actually said Vince Lombardi as well I was spent the first part of my childhood in Chicago I am a Bears fan, but the two things I will say it's tough to argue with Vince Lombardi is possibly the greatest coach ever in the Packer Museum the Packer Hall of Fame I should say really outstanding exhibit there at Lambeau Field
Yeah, I agree and they just took what they had in storage and created an exhibit for us and it was amazing
That's excellent.
So alright, so we've talked a little bit about the Malva before here on the show But you know, this is the first time you've been on so give us a little background Marv What's your what's your story?
Well, the mobile center was started two years ago.
I was actually on board for the construction.
So I've been here for four and a half years now.
So we were two and a half years under construction.
And then we opened in December of 23.
So we've just been open for two years.
So we've only had three large exhibits per year.
So that's six large exhibits.
And then all the other things that we have going on here too.
So we're a fairly young organization.
And we just made a big change this last year in our pricing model where previously we had charged for our large exhibits and films, and now we're offering those for free for our large exhibits plus most films.
There's some that we have to charge for because of the way they're contracted, but it was a big change in December, which has been a huge change for us.
You talked about how long you've been there.
Where were you before you were at the Malva Center?
I
started my career as a CPA actually for 13 years, local firm called Winfley, and then worked at an engineering company for the next 23 years.
So most of my career was working with accountants and engineers.
So working at a cultural center is a bit foreign to me, but exercising the other side of my brain has been a lot of fun.
It sounds great.
I always thought like working at a museum or a theater would be pretty chill and kind of a fun gig, you know kind of laid back, but So all right, Marv, let's talk about some of the things you guys have coming up here Do you get what is what do you guys offer?
Let's say that other museums might not like what what makes the Malva Center Cultural Center stand out more as opposed not that it's a competition I know you guys all work together, but what's different about it?
It's a different type model.
Most museums have a static offering.
We were just at the Reagan Museum last October, and obviously it's geared toward Ronald Reagan, and they have a lot of things very specific to him.
And so there's children's museums.
Other types of museums typically have a fairly static or doesn't change a lot offering because that's what they want to show.
Procure where our content changes constantly.
We typically have three large exhibits a year.
So our offering is ever changing.
So we don't want to be the place where you just come one time and say, oh, check the box.
I've been there.
I don't need to go back again for another five to 10 years.
We want to bring you back again and again with our various varied offerings.
have it be the place where if I'm looking for something to do, Mobile Cultural Center comes to the top of mine.
That's a great answer.
Are you referring to the Reagan Library in CME Valley, California?
Yep.
When we get to our exhibits, we co-curated an exhibit with them, and it's showing there now.
It'll be coming here next summer.
That is an absolutely spectacular.
I've been there and it's an incredible spot I mean, I think and if I remember correctly Reagan is buried there and it overlooks like this gorgeous I mean, it's like on the side of a mountain sort of and it was like the only thing bad about that is that he can't enjoy the view because it's Unbelievable and the stuff they have there is really cool.
So that's a great
place for me.
They do a great job.
They're really good people there.
Yeah
For sure.
OK, so what do we have?
Marv Wall is my guest, folks.
He is the executive director of the Malva Cultural Center in Green Bay, just an absolute gem right there in in Tidal Town.
What do you have coming up?
Let's talk about some of your exhibits you've got.
You want to start with films, because I love what you guys offer in the way of films, or we could just go with exhibits that are upcoming.
Where would you like to start?
How about we start with exhibits?
That's our next biggest thing.
That's kind of our main focus, I should say.
We have a 10,000 square foot exhibit hall on our second floor.
We just moved out life in space a couple weeks ago and we're moving in the real Genghis Khan right now.
So that's our next big exhibit.
Genghis Khan was kind of a, people either loved him or hate him.
His father was actually killed when he was nine years old, and his family then was outcast by the tribe that he was in.
So he had to create some alliances, gather some other people to help fight with him, sort of unifying different tribes, and kept doing that until he had the largest contiguous empire in the world, and that still stands today.
pretty much as a self-made person.
And again, a lot of things we talk about today are because of him.
He actually promoted trade and religious freedom.
And that's one of the ways he unified his empire.
He kept everybody together that they weren't still trying to fight and get away from his empire.
They wanted to be part of it.
Part of it was because they were afraid of him too, because he kept trying to increase the size of his empire and was
pretty ruthless in doing that.
So it's a lot of a lot of history that about Genghis Khan and how he came to power and what he was able to do.
I remember watching I think it was the Discovery Channel they talked about Genghis Khan and they talked to these guys in San Francisco and they all thought they were probably descendants of Genghis Khan like he is supposedly responsible for
Millions of people being alive like he did a lot of stuff.
It's not just intimidating, but
Prolific if you might want to use
that word That's a great word for it.
He was or to quote another Seinfeld.
He was a master of his domain anyway There's great it says you have the largest collection of Genghis Khan era artifacts ever to tour the world I love that that is just coming right to Green Bay
and also you'll have a live Mongolian musical performances and a chance to speak with the artist.
Is that part of Malva's sort of modus operandi too, is that it's more interactive like that?
Exactly.
Each exhibit
has its own uniqueness.
And this is our first one where we'll have live performers in it.
So there's always something different or something new that is with each exhibit.
Dinosaurs are dinosaurs.
We had a lot of animatronic dinosaurs.
The Lego exhibit had things that you could do and kind of lose yourself in Legos for an afternoon if you want.
This one has a lot of history, but then it has a lot of performers that will be in our exhibit hall every day for performances.
There'll be singing, there'll be calligraphy, in period clothing, so it'll be a neat exhibition.
You have one coming up too, it's a ways off it.
Rolls in in June the Cowboys history in Hollywood.
I spent years in Southern California.
I'm a writer and I am fascinated by Will Rogers.
We've been to that museum before So that exhibit really jumped out at me.
It looks like it's just a lot of fun.
What can you tell us about Cowboys history and Hollywood?
Right, that's another first for us.
We did we co-develop that with the Reagan Museum.
So that one is
Premiered in October at the Reagan Museum, it'll be going through April of this year.
And then they'll pack it up and ship it to us.
So it'll be running here June 10th to 12th.
We'll have a member only preview.
And then June 13th, it's open through September 7th.
Very neat exhibit.
I got to meet a lot of the people that put the exhibit together.
And they're very passionate about the
They have really great connections out there with different museums with the Ronald Reagan portion of it.
They really didn't emphasize in their exhibit, but when it comes here, they're going to send us an extra section just for the connection with Ronald Reagan in Hollywood.
So it'll be one of the few exhibits that we get that are brand new, that will be the second time being shown.
Yeah, that's really exciting and then you've got right now if people want to catch it a tactile images Exhibit art or seven art movements is that that's here through February 11th couple a few more weeks if people want to check it out
Right, that's we we have two exhibit spaces one is our large 10,000 square foot hall upstairs, which we have the large exhibits
The Packer exhibit that I talked about previously and now tactile images is down in our atrium.
So that's a smaller space.
Those have always been free for people just to come in and view and they're just in the open space in our...
exhibit hall it's museum quality so there's no outside light external light sources and things like that that you need to have for museum quality whereas the things in the atrium typically are different different level so the tactile images will be here through February 11th and then we'll change that over to where children sleep from February 18th to April 15th and that is about how
Everybody is different.
People live differently.
And it kind of focuses on the children and how they go about their lives.
So it's about different people and kind of focuses on the children.
That's great.
We're going to do a very short break.
We'll come back and have a few more minutes with Marv.
He's going to tell us what films we can see at the Malva.
New sports and weather coming up in 10 minutes.
I'm Pete Schwab.
This is Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio Network.
I don't like to see so much, babe, so much.
Welcome back.
I'm Pete Schwab, and this is Night Light.
Great to have you with me.
News is on the way, folks, just about eight minutes away.
Our question of the night here at Night Light tonight is, who is your favorite coach?
And it could be a fictional character, like Coach on Cheers, or Craig T. Nelson, or Denzel Washington, or remember the Titans.
If you had a high school coach, any coach, all options are on the table.
My guest right now is the director of the Malva Cultural Center in Green Bay, Mr. Marv Wall.
Marv, have I told you how cool your name is?
I love the name Marv.
No, you haven't.
You get that?
It's an old school name.
I love it.
It is old school.
Yeah, there's not many Marvs out there.
No, it's very cool.
The producer tonight is Dom.
I like Dom and Marv.
You guys sound like you should be hanging out at a social club, like in the 1960s or
great.
go.
We can talk about another great coach, Marv Levy.
There's a few
more.
Oh, there you go.
Boy, that was heartbreaking.
I've never felt for a guy.
I think it was Dan Reeves and Marv Levy both lost four Super Bowls, and they were great coaches.
They were.
Marv, we have just a few more minutes here.
Let's talk about some of the films you guys have playing, such great movies.
And there's one that's just around the corner.
It's playing on the 18th, which I believe is Saturday, Mysteries of the Great Lakes.
I'm fascinated by the Great Lakes.
What can you tell us about this film?
Yeah, that's what I really like.
We have six different documentaries going and every quarter we dropped three off and add three new ones.
Mysteries of the Great Lakes has been a great one for us.
It actually has a lot of footage from here in Chano in Chiachton with the sturgeon spearing when that has not spearing the sturgeon spawning where they come up the river and it's, you know, you can walk across the river because of all the sturgeon that are there.
So it's
it has a lot of local connections and that's really a lot of our more popular films have that local connection.
That's great.
I've seen the sturgeon up here in Marinette when they it's unbelievable like these prehistoric fish and we saw a couple that were probably 10 feet long.
They're absolutely fascinating and I didn't realize
that
that's what that film features So that sounds like a really cool now if people wanted to see that Marv Where would they go?
Do they just show up and pay or should they buy tickets ahead of time?
Those are free so but we recommend you that you register for tickets ahead of time because with their with our new model we're
We're very popular now.
So there's a lot of people that want to see the different films.
So on the website, you can register for the tickets there.
That one shows pretty much every day at a different time.
Our six different documentaries will rotate different times.
So if you go on our website and just register for the tickets, there will be no cost.
But we have 200 seats in our auditorium.
We just want to make sure that we're not oversold.
And then the thing
is
the large exhibit, we do the same thing.
We only allow so many people per hour or half hour to go through the exhibit so that we can make it safe and a good experience for everyone.
Actually, for life in space over Christmas, we were typically booked from the minute we opened to the minute we closed with people that wanted to come in and see the exhibit.
So
is that
one done?
Yeah, is
life in space gone now?
Yeah, that left on January 5th So we're about a week a couple weeks away from Genghis Khan.
So that'll be our next large exhibit
And I'm just sitting here thinking how much fun I would have but is it it's there are the films all family friendly as well
Yes, and most of them you can't, you know, in the world now of streaming movies, you can pretty much stream anything you want, but the documentaries that we get aren't available on streaming services.
They're typically 40 minutes long, so we see a lot of, you know, families come in where you don't want to sit down for a two and a half hour movie, but for 40 minutes you can keep a youngster interested.
that are very popular.
So we actually do have a space documentary yet.
The space, the new frontier is one of our documentaries.
And then there's another one, Lewis and Clark, The Great Journey West, very popular too.
That's the other one I was just going to ask you about in the space.
Like, is the cinematography on that, like from the Hubble telescope, or do you show like the Eagle Nebula and that kind of stuff?
What is that?
Because everyone is fascinated by space.
Right.
It actually shows very well on our screen.
Our Samsung Onyx screen is an LED screen, so it's
not like
your projector screens in most other movie theaters.
The picture on it is extraordinary.
It's one of only three in the United States currently, so it's very high quality.
And when you're showing, like you say, the crab nebula and all these different things in space, the picture is really great.
Before we let you go, Marv, and thank you again for your time.
Is there an exhibit you haven't had yet that you would love to get?
Oh, boy.
Asha, I'd like to talk about our last exhibit for this next summer.
It's an exhibition about cancer, which you think, oh, who would want to go see that?
But it was created by M.D.
Anderson out of Texas, and it will be the second place that it shows for that one, too.
They're going to premiere it in Houston, then we get it second.
But it's from cause to cure.
So it's a hopeful and an educational exhibit about what's new and innovative in fighting cancer and some feel-good stories about good things that are happening in that arena.
That'll be half of our exhibit hall and then the other half will be a fine arts exhibit.
So it'll be a new thing for us that our first time, you know, with every thing of cultural center, you need to have fine art there.
It'll be our first exhibit that we, you know, we truly have some fine art here coming in next fall.
Outstanding.
Truly a treasure right there in Green Bay, the Malva Cultural Center.
Thank you so much.
Check it out, folks.
Thank you so much for your time tonight, Marv.
Marv with a cool name.
Let's do it again sometime.
Have a great night.
Good luck to you.
Thank you.
All right.
We are coming right back after new sports and weather.
Lots to discuss.
We're going to tell you about some records that were set in Wisconsin, and Jim Healy will be here to talk movies at 6.35.
