Two things to know going into this:

First, Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM was a radio show that started in 1988, and by 1998 it was one of the most-listened-to late-night radio shows in the world. Art took calls from people looking to talk about aliens, werewolves, the occult, Area 51, MK Ultra, and shit like that. He even had a regular caller who claimed to be a time traveler, and he would warn listeners of future catastrophes.

As a new resident to Los Angeles, I found myself driving around a lot late at night, and I loved listening to Art Bell and the severely open-minded weirdos who would call in to the show. Of all the crazy shit people would talk about, one of the most prevalent topics, heralded by the weirdest of the weirdos, was that the world was going to end in 2012. There were a bunch of random things that pointed to this outcome, the most “convincing” being that the Mayan calendar ended on December 21, 2012. I don’t know much about the Mayans other than they’re the bad guys in Apocalypto, the Mel Gibson movie that I’d recommend if he wasn’t a drunken anti-Semite. Either way, from 1998 onward I had been conditioned to think one thing above all else: If you thought the world was going to end in 2012, you were a bit of an odd duck.

Second, The Last Starfighter is a great movie from 1984, about a kid who’s a loser in his real life but he’s amazing at playing videogames. He then learns that his videogame skills actually allow him to save the world. Evan and I had tried to get the rights to the movie for a sequel or remake from the time we got to Los Angeles, but the original screenwriter, Jonathan R. Betuel, owns the rights and refuses to let anyone touch the property—and I don’t blame him, because it’s perfect.
