Don't Mess with Christopher Plummer! He Will Cut You!

The DJ's had 6 press clippings in front of them. They knew enough about the movie to conduct an interview (that's where you ask the other person QUESTIONS and they answer with information for the audience / reader).

Radio talk is no different than late night shows, where the guest shows up to promote his / her product.Do David Letterman or Jay Leno watch every movie from every star that they "interview?" Doubt it. They ask the same simplistic questions to get the "star" talking.

Plummer's people called Walton and Johnson to arrange the interview. If they wanted them to promote the movie themselves, why even bother having him on the show.

Whole Episode Reminiscent of Stevens and Pruett's Infamous interviews with David Keith and Craig T. Nelson....
Both Primadonna's were waaaay too full of themself's..
Never liked Keith or Nelson after that..

Baad journalism!! Have they not heard that it is good to do some research before an interview. I'd have said "So long" too!!!

There isn't any difference in W&J saying "So tell us the name of your movie.." and David Letterman or Jay Leno asking the same of their own guests. Do you think those guys actually watch every movie sent to them? There was nothing rude or improper about the interview, maybe Plummer just woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning! And for those of you who think these guys are shock jocks--you obviously have never heard their morning program! Thank you for your GREAT show, you magnificent S.O.B.'s!!

Until the interview I had thought Christopher Plummer was dead...

As a true 10%er,I have to say that what Mr Plummer did was beyond rude.He was there to promote his movie,and W&J were giving him the time to do that,with simple questions.Maybe the coot is so old he cannot remember the name of the film,or who he even is anymore.
And to all the other 10%ers out there...dont forget to eat it ...everyday!

Before Mr. Plummer came on, Walton and Johnson spent a good twenty minutes promoting the up-coming interview with him. They described who he was, some of his previous works, and the name of the movie Mr. Plummer was to promote. W&J have had recent interviews with Alan Alda and Lynn Chaney that were exceptional due to the personality of the people being interviewed and the format it was presented in. The Walton and Johnson Show is not a run of the mill small market broadcast show, nor are they "Shock Joks". Only 10% of the people who listen unerstand or get it.
All hail the Radio Gawds!

I was stranded in a houston airport rental car bus this morning and heard Walton and Johnson for the over the bus radio. They sounded dumb to me. Two guys useing different voices as they read gossip mags and the USA Today. Some loyal listener called is saying he would vote for Obama to get the illigals out of the country because Obama would ruin the economy. I understand Plummer hanging up on them. Red necks on the radio for red necks.
Go Red Socks.

i hope christopher plummer never makes another dime. those hollyweird peckerheads think their god, but they are dumb as rocks, and don't deserve to be pissed on if they was on fire.

The only people who "haven't done their homework" are the 90 Percenters on this thread who've never listened to the venerable Walton and Johnson Show (you've had a quarter-century to catch up, jacklegs) and don't have a clue about how radio promotions work.

W&J were NOT EXACTLY looking for approbation and approval from Baron Von Trapp, ladies and gentlemen, and could just as easily have filled the time with something far more entertaining. Rather, they and their station were GRACIOUS enough to grant ol' Chris a few minutes on the air to promote his movie -- which, you folks don't seem to get, necessitates the interviewee actually TELLING HIS AUDIENCE ABOUT WHAT HE'S TRYING TO SELL THEM. Plummer chose instead to be a jerk -- if hanging up on your hosts on the air is "old school class" then it's no wonder a lot of people thought he was already dead.

But Plummer will now live forever -- as a running joke on the W&J Radio Show, entertaining us all long after whatever the hell movie this is quietly flits in and out of theaters. So, eat it EVERY day, loyal 10 Percenters! And to the Baron and anyone who thinks he's still relevant, just eat it. :)
