On this episode we discuss men, women and children. I House, I'm Dan McCoy. Hey there Dan McCoy, I'm Stuart Wellington. Hi guys, and also listeners, and anyone else around, I'm Elliot Kaylin. Hey! We're here! Doom. We're're here. Doom. We're. No.

Okay. So I'd like to welcome our listeners and you guys to the month of Sandal Vembers. Sandal Vembers is a month where we only do Adam Sandlin movies right now. I thought it was, I thought it was when we go down to beautiful sandals resort in the Bahamas. That's where we're recording this.

It's actually, we couldn't afford the Bahamas. A double tonely. We're at the sandal, no, we're at the sandals in in the Bahamas. That's where we're recording this. It's actually we couldn't afford the Bahamas. A double tonal. We're at the sandals in Weehawken. Okay. So that's a wave with the speech impediment. So the complimentary sandals are not getting a lot of use except what we walk to.

I don't know the spars. Yeah, and we didn't know it. But those aren't sandals, they're completely different. Yeah, they're puffy. And nor were they complimentary. They were given you as a gift. I mean, I guess that's a lot of complimentary. What's more complimentary than receiving a gift? That's the best compliment you can receive. Like the universe saying, Hey, we like you. Um, so yeah, this is not sandal, remember, we just happened to watch a movie that had and sandalers, one of many actors in it. Yeah, too many. The sky was dark for all the stars were in men, women,

and children. This was not at all. I didn't know that's what we were doing. And too. It's true, and I seem to know. I guess you too, maybe you like peed in a fountain or something you're both dream warriors. And you know what's going on on each other's minds. I think you're misremembering those movies. Both of us are ready for Freddie now. Oh, did you hear about Freddie? You got a finger. No.

No, Sam, why? Is that why you want to kill all those teams? Yeah, yeah. That's why he has those blade gloves because now he's afraid of fingers It's just it's the cycle of violence is what it is yeah Pretty got finger now. He's got a finger some teeth with his blade fingers. Okay. I mean, that's kind of the plot isn't it? Yeah, thanks though. I've pretty got fingered anyway So we watched men women and children the movie that the title alone tells you will try to talk about everything there is.

If everything means middle-class white lifestyles, because... So hot take. That's what the... The hottest. And I think there were two black people in this whole movie, one of whom was a school psychologist and the other was Dennis Hayesberg, a man who is using Ashley Madison to cheat on his wife, I assume. Yeah, but why me like at least the other one was Phil Lamar, that was nice to see him. Yeah, it was nice to see him from mad TV. That's right. That's the main thing that everyone knows from.

So this is the rampant follow up to labor day. And I'll get a Celia, never since jason rightman wrote and directed both did you say sell you yeah i got a sell you on this car what's it gonna take to get you in a man women and children today is it gonna take rose marie to wit we have her she's in it uh... do you like jk simmins because he's in almost three scenes of the move

just kidding how about de norris? Hank from Breaking Bad. Judy Greer. And sometimes confuse him with just getting seven. How about Judy Greer? Judy Greer. Judy Greer. TV's alias. Okay.

What about Judy Greer? Kitty from TV's arrested development. Do you have the like to say goodbye to these? Do you have my main man, Ansel Elgort, my dog? Yes, the name created by somebody burping while naming their child Ansel Elgort, my dog. My name? My name created by somebody burping while naming their child Ansel Elgort. He's in there too. And let's-

Someone wanted to name their child after Ansel Adams and then ran out of vowels. It's real. It sounds like someone was trying to do the crypt keeper version of a real name. Ansel Elgort. What was his name? Elgor, I guess, I don't know. Do you like the show justified?

Sometimes. Whoa. Hey, well, who's your favorite character on justified? Boyd Crouter, clearly. True, he's not in this. Okay. Who's your seventh favorite character. And just five.

That dent just played by Alan Ruck in that one episode. And what about the guy who played Herman from Herman's head? The guy who played Herman from Herman. I don't even know how to parse that. I'm slowing it away to honor. I can't even... Well, it has Loreta from... Yeah, Loreta from Justified.

Justified, little girl. And are there exes daughter? Adopted daughter, kind of. Hey, remember the guy that Pam dumped on the office for jail? He's in the movie, because the worst history teacher in the world. I don't think he plays the history teacher. I think that was somebody else.

Well, I can't tell. You were so angered that your eyes saw red only. Oh, he's doughy white bearded Midwestern looking guys. I can't tell the difference between them. You're still lucky. You're not doughy Stewart. I couldn't tell the difference. That's true.

I am lucky. Instead, I hand some bearded. I'm afraid every day. Yeah, there was a scene. Well, I guess we're not doughy now. Is that the top though, man? Well, we'll get. That's the thing. It's a ragged riches.

I guess what do you want to talk about my entire life now? Or should we say that for a later podcast? Now there was a character in this movie who loved role-playing games. Did you relate to him? Well, that was my dog, Hansel Elgort. So yeah, totally. He and I go way back. Hansel well. A Hansel indeed.

Yeah. He does kind of have a hand-set stylele haircut because Hansel is so hot right now. Yeah, let's reference it. Walk away. Thanks, Ossie. Congratulations. I just want to remind you. Yeah, so I could totally get into his headspace where he's playing Guild Wars and you can see the screen up here in the ether next to his head now Let's talk about so this movie is full of stars. We've established that like we cracked open a pirate treasure chest full of gold Then fortunately the gold is encased in human shit that's

Been mixed with molasses, so it's also super sticky like comic Gilt. Yeah, it's like well if it's with molasses so it's also super sticky. Like comic and gil. Yeah, it's like, well, if it's hot, wait, uh, comic and gil does not taste good, but it's not human shit. We also forgot,

Amitabhson is the narrator. As the narrator that the movie forgets about for a long period of time. But you played Carl Sagan, that's kind of narrator. She just quotes Carl Sagan a lot. Now, the movie is about how people's lives are terrible because of the internet, but also because of not the internet.

Yeah. The movie tends, it it's this is the movie begins to have a real money thesis statement. I would say he was such a great blues musician musician money thesis. I mean his thinking wasn't super clear like his logic never quite worked out but all the way he plucked that guitar. No, no one pulled the strings like money thesis. Yeah. You never know why his baby left him. No, I mean, by the end of it. It could have been his car. It could have been his love of music. It could have been his drink. I don't know.

We know that since his baby left him, a lot of bad stuff happened. Yeah, the things are. We know the causal, like the incident. The incident. What you're saying is we need a prequel to this blue song. Yeah. It really explains the tale.

Yeah, yeah. Buddy, this has been a big hit. Let's take blue song. It really explains the tale. Yeah, yeah. Manny, this has been a big hit. Let's take it back. Let's dial it back. Wait, I mean, all my songs are just me repeating the same line with, na na na na na na na after each one. So sure, okay. This is a real three white guys talking

about the blue situation right now. And that you can say that about any situation if you accurately describe it. That's right. This is a real three guys doing a podcast in an apartment situation right now. Check our footage guys. Yeah, it's pretty great. I checked it out.

Yeah, look at it. Oh, it's hot. Yeah. Check out that privilege. It's a real taught privilege. What would you do to that privilege? Oh, boy. I would wreck that privilege.

I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Okay. Speaking of not knowing what it's saying, this movie has a very unclear message. It's the first half seems to be anti-internet, and the second half seems to be anti-people not using it. So the movie begins in outer space. As any movie called Men, Women and Children should, it begins in outer space

as a satellite flies through space. And Emma Thompson tells us about, what is it, the Voyager probe or whatever whichever satellite it is that Carl Sagan put that gold record on. That has recordings of people saying hello in like waves. It was his only acid rock album. It was called billions, oh billions, oh billions. Billions, oh billions of billions and old star stuff Yeah, and it was very hallucinogenic the the a side is a bunch of like kind of radio playable cuts And the B side is just one long song just for the face. Yeah, which is this I've never heard metal machine music It makes that sound excessive. Oh good. Yeah, and he said in Carl Sagan said and it quote I'm quoting him

This is the kind of music people we're listening to in the future. And if you don't believe me, you can go fuck yourself. Like Carl Sagan. That's what he said. That's what he said in the last episode of Cosmo. This is on PBS. So it's like a Saturday night live impression where he says his name every time he goes in.

He's a horror-flop house impression, to be honest. I thought he said, I guess you're not ready for that, but your kids are gonna love it. Yeah, because he went back in time so that Mr. and Mrs. Sagan got together at the high school dance. That's right. Yeah, and that's the origin story for Carl Sagan.

You know I'm not play-gain, I'm Carl Sagan. What? I don't know. So yeah, when he was on YoMTV reps at one time, a failure of an appearance. Well, when Bradie said back to feature thing, if he had then played, it smells like teen spirit and he goes, you're not gonna like it,

but your kids' kids are gonna like that. Now, can I get my EDM machines in here for what your kids' kids' kids are gonna listen to? Now, okay, your kids' kids' kids, they're gonna be really interested in this thing called the drop. Let me explain. Wow. Now, that doesn't sound like music, but it is. Somebody invented me a game boy, this thing called the drop. Let me explain. Whoa.

Now that doesn't sound like music, but it is. Somebody invented me a Game Boy, so I can just play music using its sound card. Okay, then your kids kids kids kids are going to go back to using little pieces of your music. It's called sampling. Allow me to show you what it's like. You play that, but then speed it up real fast,

like high-pitched and then do it over and over again. Now some of them are going to like your grandparents music. They're gonna play on a wash tub. And with a banjo, everyone's gonna hate them. Yet somehow their music will be everywhere. Now your kids kids kids kids music are gonna score only car commercials and it's gonna be a lot of ukulele and claps and kind of choral singing., so in the back it's gonna go, hey, yeah. Or something like that. Oh, just. Oh, just. Huh.

Huh. Yeah, who decided that so much music should involve someone just going, huh. I don't know, man. Excuse me for a sec. That's what makes it authentic. All right, so I just made noise because I have to get beers out of this.

Yeah, you may have noticed some radio zone effects. We're not sitting in front of a roaring fire. That's super trying to open a plastic bag Like an old person unwrapping a candy in a movie theater. He thought if he did it slowly Nobody would notice now and we say beer bag Unfortunately, it's not how you're imagining it, which is just a bag filled with Fortunately, it's not how you're imagining it, which is just a bag filled with loose beer. It's a sack of beer. Well, it's like an own person.

I have this bag. I'm not gonna throw it out. I'm gonna use it again. It's a perfectly good bag. You have been in depression. You mean they can't afford a bag like that? It's only got one hole in it, the hole that I put things into now.

Like a homeless guy, the bus stop masturbating. You thought if you did it slow enough, nobody would notice. Okay, so men, women and children, we started in space. Emma Thompson's telling us about how Carl Sagan chose all these things to send into space, to tell an alien what humans are like, because we're fragile, beautiful beings or some garbage.

Then we hit back to Earth. If anything, as Will Smith would say, I love them to Earth. I love what you think it means. It means medium resolution. Okay, sure. So we're on, we're in a small town somewhere, any town USA, let's call Americaville,

12345 fake street. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And. Soca Cola America. All town USA. All of our phone numbers are 555 phone number. Mm-hmm. No, too many digits.

They just keep dialing after the ring start. Now, there's a lot of plotlines in this movie. So I'm not going to try to do it in chronological order. Let's just go through them because they're all in search of some crappy sign felled episode. You know, or like I said, it's a real shortcut situation, except for unlike shortcuts, you don't have the brilliance of Robert Altman or Julianne Moore wandering around bottomless for a whole scene. That's what Dan thinks about when he thinks about short cuts. Yeah, it's like the Raymond Carver story. What we think about when we think about short cuts. Raymond Carver, who short cuts, was based on.

Mm-hmm, and Birdman. Anyway, so... But this movie is directed by Jason Wrightman. Yeah. He's the wrong man. He's the wrong man. And here's the thing, I'm sure he's a great guy and he has made movies people like. I'd hang out with him.

I'm sure I bet he's a really. And hang out with his dad. Who wouldn't, come on. Yeah. Yeah, I love hanging out with dads. I've been the terrible right man. Nobody has ever called him that. Someone said his, at his college, someone called him

I'm the terrible. Possibly, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that would have been ignorant. There was only one I've in the terrible. His name, I've in the forest. Zara of the rushes. So this movie is about, so there's a lot of intertwining things. We start with Emma Tom, and also Emma Thompson

is narrating in this kind of Rye like hmm I'm gonna I'm gonna bring out the ironies of these people's situations. It's like a crappy version of the book from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Mm-hmm. She portioned her narration over from whatever like stranger than fiction where she Literally it was I mean that was a comedy Where's like, you know, she had to have that ride. Well, this movie is described as a comedy. Well, that was the funny- Comedy drama. Yeah, were you the one who discovered that?

That it was just- No, I did. Oh, yeah. He's the fucking kid sleuth over here. Yeah, and it's like, Lapidia Brown found that out. Bugs, meaning you called this a comedy drama. Yet there's nary a laugh to be found. Don't invest kids. But there's not a lot of jokes. And it's a d to be found don't invest kids.

But it's there's not a lot of jokes into dour movie. Everything's dour. You thought labor day a movie about a convict to accidentally killed his wife and teaches a mother and a son had to make pie erotically. It was a dour movie. A movie where a kid says to his to his widowed mom talk about a cream pie. Edit that out there.

Yeah. He said that. That was a movie where a where a kid told his widowed mom. Talk about a cream pie. Edit that out, Dan. Yeah, please edit that out. That was a movie where a kid told his widowed mother, I'll be dead for the day for you, which is one of the saddest things I've ever heard in a movie. This is movie has the saddest thing that an adult can say, which is there's a scene where an adult says to a teenager, these are the best years of your lives, which is the most pathetic thing a human being can think. That the first 16, 17 years are the best years of your lives, which is the most pathetic thing a human being can think.

That the first 16, 17 years of the best years of their lives and everything after that. Do you think that's like just the stars of the movie, the best years of our lives? But that's ironic. But that's ironic, because that's what we're doing. Is that like that too? Do you think all like high school principals like that's in their basic like manual, how to deal with a surly teen is like, you got to remind them, this is the best years of their lives.

It's like, hey dude, enjoy it now, because you're like, I love the script. That would be like, all the script. You're supposed to have fun, but not too much fun, graduate, and be miserable. That has gotta be, here's a Bruce Springsteen song,

it's called Glory Days, listen to it. Aside from like this, like saying the saddest thing about the adult who's saying it, that is the worst thing to say to a miserable teen. Like, it was like, it's like the opposite. It literally gets better. I should kill myself now as well. It gets better.

It's like, what the, this is the pinnacle? Fuck this. I'm out. And by out, I mean, I'm out of this life because I have already killed myself. Is that the world I wanna get off everybody? Is that all there is to a fire? Yep, let me pull up my, let me pull up my Uber charon. Can I pick me up dog? It'll be too bit. Now, would that be an Uber X or an Uber Black? Uber Black. And charon's just going to come

pick you up. You don't have to go to the River Sticks. No, dude. He shows up. His boat has wheels on it and a motor. He's a hovercraft. He's magic, right? He just borrowed that hovercraft from Supercop. He's excited to bring it over to get you. Mm-hmm. Okay, so let's go, we start off with Adam Sandler as a dowardad who is gonna try to masturbate on his home computer but it's not working for some reason

and the only other computer is his 15-year-olds. A lot of the laughs of this movie come from Emma Thompson describing names of porn sites with her accent. Yeah, there's also, there's a, I'm gonna pull back the curtain on a behind the scenes thing from the Daily Show. We worked on a book called Earth the Book, which was the idea was we're explains aliens

what human life was like on Earth. And something that John Stewart cautioned us not to do a lot was not to do a joke where the only thing about the joke was that you were describing something in an overly technical way that there was no actual joke there. It was just that you were describing a dumb thing in a very highfalutin way. And like that's Emma Thompson's narration for the most part is like the joke of it is just like I'm gonna describe this this guy masturbating in a way that's like Overly high brow, you know, but there's no actual joke there or just like detached in detail like yeah

He sat at the computer pondering like do I want big rested whores or do I want you know anal angels and the thing is he pulled it like any show over here at the there's a video that fits both and if not I just have two video screens open on your computer you've got DSL dudes you're saying the band with is there in this modern world we can have it all in the Tom tomorrow comic strip this modern world yes we can have any kind of sex we want on. You have a big breast and penguin with a vi- visor. Yeah, telling us things about Republicans. So is he blind? Like, you already look forward to what's going on with that visor?

I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Sometimes tomorrow call him. The lines are open. So Adam Sandler is a sad sack. He and his wife haven't had sex in a long time. He's mass-perbating a lot. Do you think the beard was a choice or he was like, do I have to shave? You're like, no.

Considering Adam Sandler often chooses movies based around where he can go on vacation while making them, I don't know. I will say that, I mean, you know, it's not like he's particularly great in the movie or anything, but. He's not bad but that will that's where I'm going with this is like Adam Sandler. Extremely lazy with his own films. I feel like whenever he shows up in someone else's movie, he puts in a pretty good performance. Like you're like, okay, it's guy can act. He's just super lazy most of the time. Now what?

the time. Now what? And he brings like a certain beaten down quality to his other roles that seems very fitting for this role. I don't know if it's necessarily him like acting or just him being cast well in the part. I don't know. I mean, I'll give him the credit, you know, a little bit of credit. I guess. Even to play yourself as hard. So I think to play with yourself is extremely easy. In fact, not doing it is harder. But no, I think he's, I mean, the actors in this, some of them are pretty, are do a, do a fine job of trying to get across the material. A few, most of them are doing pretty good jobs. Most of them, like, different artists, is too brittle and caricatured. Yeah. Mostly that some of the teens are kind of like,

like, you know of like, boo. You know, like there's not a lot coming out of them. Yeah, but those are teens. Yeah, but that's teens. It's just where they are. So that's why you got this a boo. Man that, man that Ansel Elgort, he brings it. Oh no, he told you maniac.

You totally blew. Guys, I've started taking a supplement of Ansel Elgort every day. No, no, Dan, that could lead to Insomnia, Restless Leg Syndrome, temporary blindness, Bouts of Race Hatred, Dan, that could lead to insomnia, restless legs syndrome, temporary blindness, bouts of race hatred, vomiting, vamanagia, which is like vomiting, but your stomach still hurts afterwards,

insomnia and death. And long moments of staring at a screen with your mouth slightly open. Yeah, ask your doctor about insulin. So what I love that this movie featured something from unfriendable or whatever the fuck you're watching a couple weeks ago where it had a character writing out all their thoughts and then deleting it and then writing something shorter.

And innocuous, yeah. This also, there's a lot of screens in this movie. Screens are popping up everywhere. So imagine watching, it was a called Chef that John Favreau will be where every time someone tweets, it appears on screen. Imagine that, but everyone's tweeting all the time and there's screens all over the screen. Mm-hmm.

Bell screens, triple screens, triple screens. I mean, there's so many screens. Multi screens. Everything's a multi screen experience these days. Yeah, so just watch this movie and you'll get it. So let's just go through the stories quickly. So Adam Sandler is married to Rosemary DeWitt

and their sex life is D-O-A. Door counter rival. That's terrible. They both get involved in the internet in different ways. He decides to hire a prostitute through it and she joins Ashley Madison, the famous adultery site. She's the one woman on Ashley Madison. Which is why she gets so many dates.

Very popular. You think Dennis Hayesbirds pick in her first with that picture she put up. Yeah. She signs up for account at work and puts up a picture of this. Seems like a missy is a company time. For sure.

In many ways. And just a picture of her fuzzy sweater. You guys were into that. Well, I guess she's trying to look like an angora sweater. Like, where's my movies are built on this? sweater. Like, Russ Meyer movies are built on this. She's, Russ Meyer movies are built on what's under the sweater, Stewart. Hmm. Namely the tag.

Yeah. Uh, the, yeah, she's trying to attract moths and I don't know, some cats. So with, with her sweater, meanwhile, they have a son who has been watching pornographic videos since he was a kid. And now, he cannot get it up for a human woman who's in front of him. And at one point, tries to rectify this by having sex with a hollowed out and her football full of loads.

It sounds like a good plan. We never find out if it works or not. Yeah. So those are some of the stories. There's another story. There's a high school football stall. There's some of the legends. Some of the myths that are told.

So each of the, I like to think of this movie as like the constellations in the sky. You look up and you go, oh, those stars together make up the unhappy master Vader. Those stars up there make up the Ashley Madison site. That would have been great, by the way, if it kept cutting to shots of the night sky and we would have constellations of the characters.

I mean, that's kind of all of the habits. It's not a all of the benefits. Because it kept cutting to that satellite going through space. Yeah. Then there's a high school. Satellite of love, with a read. There's a high school football star played by your dog, Ansel Elgore,

who does not want to play football anymore because he's too depressed over his mom abandoning the family and now, and so he decides to throw himself into the fantasy world of guild wars. By the way, by the way, I spaced out. Did we explain why we keep referring to Ansel Gord as your buddy?

Because for many years, I worked for a company called Games Workshop Dan, which sells model figurines. And one of my regular customers, who I would see, I don't know, almost every day was hot teen star and so El Gort. And I, uh, so he and I are super close. You've never said El Gort, El Barata, El Nicto. Like, Hey, I would have been a hilariously nerdy joke. Uh, I didn't. I don't even know what that joke means.

I'll technically, I guess it would be El Gort, El Clat 2, El Berada, El Niktot. It's a day that you're still reference. Okay. Or maybe you're referring to that. Is that like a movie or? Darkness fit, repurposed. What's army of darkness guys? They just, they just,

Story of the joke. They referenced it. Yeah. Army of darkness is a movie I'm pretty sure you saw. You're like, is that that French movie about resistance? No, that's army of shadows. The most steward movie ever made. I mean, the only thing it doesn't have to do with that. I'm getting his dick ripped off.

And it kind of does have that. There's no casual nudity in it, I guess that's the one thing. Well, there's that one part where the zombies, the deadites are arising and they somehow have a bunch of scantily clad women chained up, the tagging gong, who have appeared out of nowhere. And one of them, I think, might be a little nude, but I'm not sure.

Yep, or I think it's like X-Men nudity where like their hair is covering their parts. Yeah, and they have no pupils, yeah. Yeah. Because they're using their patterns. That's how you define the nudity. X-Men nudity. Or like even their eyes are nude.

Little wisps of smoke are covering their nipples. Yeah, steam or something. That happened a lot actually every time Sila got out of the shower. Exactly. Sure. Like you're wasting all the hot water Sila. Just go get Firestar to heat some more up. I don't know. Forge, why don't you get on that bro? I think a bigger water heater. I'm too busy inventing devices that will help rogue with her powers for a day and then break.

Sure. I'm working on the blackboard to get my sexual energy. So active techno shaman. I mean, he's exactly that explicitly, a techno shaman. With a little like a metal piece on my leg that you just see a little part of and ahead of it. You lost it in Vietnam, dude. He did.

I'm better in stay. Better in stay, no less. did. Sorry. I'm better in stay. Better in stay, Nolus. I'll be more respectful to Forge. Yeah. Maybe the least popular X-Men character ever created. And I'm including Maggett and Marrow in those rankings. I'm including Joseph, the clone of Magneto in those rankings.

Forge is still lower. I'm including Stacey X, the mutant-powered prostitute that was in like six issues. I know that Forge was in the comics when I was reading the X-Men comics and I can't picture him. He's just a guy with a mustache and a headband. He's got a ponytail.

And a ponytail and he's got a metal leg. And he's a technologist. He dated Storm briefly because she had no other options. They were on and off, gone again, off again. And then Bishop showed up and- And then Marvel was like, why don't we just have her date only black characters and Bishop and black Panther showed up?

Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, so that's where- That's where- That's where- That's Stuart Elliott explain the X-Men. Take that, Rachel and Miles. Now Tim Mooney, high school football star,

Antelay Ligort, he quits the football team because it doesn't matter too many more. In the wake of his mom's abandoning the family and he really gets into Guild Wars, which is an online massive multiplayer role playing game. Online role playing. There his father, D-Norris. D-Norris. D-Norris is really unhappy about it, but he starts up a little relationship with Judy Greer's character, who is helping her daughter, who's a cheerleader, to run a vaguely soft core teen porno site, where she and her daughter teen daughter models an underwear and bathing suits. It takes most of the movie for Judy Greer to realize this is a terrible idea.

Even though, like, at one point, she's like feeling out with Jennifer Garner. She's like, now you know the legality of all this. Like she's like clearly like, what would it would not be child pornography? You know, like it was like, Judy Greer? I'm not. What would it be?

I'll say the final least. Now Jennifer Garner, what would it would not, shall we? Perfect. Perfect. When we recorded episode of Archa, we're not together. We record our part separately. So what you're saying is that you're saying that her realization, the moment when she's in the meat aisle of the grocery store, we know that because there's a big sign that says

meat, and the woman on the phone is like, your daughter has a porn outside. That moment is bullshit, because you think she already knows. Well, she, this is just where that she's been eating at her for a while, but the fact that she goes to the point where she's like, where's the legal line?

Like she's like, that seems. Now, we've mentioned two subplots there. One is that Jennifer Garner, who is an overprotective mother, has started a group of parents to stop the internet, I guess, because it's, and telephones, because they're ruining children, they're dangerous. And through that, she meets Dean Norris,

and she begins dating him. But also that her daughter is obsessed with being famous, and decides that, and they, at the mall one day, well, her daughter is texting with the kid who can only get it up while watching videos, Adam Sandler's son, and telling him that if he was tied up, she would totally ride him that through over texts or sex, I guess, the young people call him. They run into open auditions for teens to be on a show called America's Next Big Celebrity,

which is the least imaginative name ever for a talent fake dollar. It seemed like a placeholder name. They're just like, oh, fuck, we forgot to change it. Make the sweaters. America's teeniest teen. That's for the smallest teen. I mean, you've got a bunch of kids who are trying to sneak on on that show because there's a million dollar prize.

We've made this show to empower dwarf teens. Well, all these little kids are trying to get in. I guess actually one of the subplots of this movie is kind of about the America's teeniest teen, but we'll get to that. Oh, that's right, because there's also, oh, so Jennifer Garner's daughter is angry at her mom because her mom monitors

all of her phone calls and text messages and websites and things like that. Because her mother's a crazy person. Because her mother's crazy. She's overprotective to the point of insane paranoia, to the point that she is at one point at lay. Yeah, she's a real person. Because her mother's crazy. She's overprotective to the point of insane paranoia, to the point that she is at one point at layup. Yeah, she's a real Carrie's mom. It's like the only episode of Dollhouse

she saw was the horrible future where like cell phones are turning everybody into horrible Dollhouse monsters. And she's like, that is our inevitability. I need to put a stop to that by ending the internet. I would have loved if that was the origin for a character. She's like, Dollhouse, Jocelyn, I'll give it a try. And that was the the internet. A little loved if that was the origin for a character. She's like, doll house, Jaws, we, and I'll give it a try.

And that was the one episode. So it's like, oh, I'm just like, oh, vision. She's like, oh, the first six episodes aren't very good. But oh, it gets interesting after a while. Okay, I'll stick with it. I'm interested in that they gave it a second season. All right, thank you, Fox.

Fox doll house, it's two seasons. Yeah. Yeah. And I didn't realize that. You know, I think they thought they were, they were doing Henry Gibson's a doll's house. Yeah, right. They were like time for Fox to get classy.

Maybe then we can do an enemy of the people. Who's this Joe Sweden character? He must be from Sweden. Who's this Jody sweet. From full house. How rude. Dad.

Yeah. By the way, by the way, this like. This is way too much like sounding like panning ourselves in the back, but in terms of that, that's what this sound like. There are like sometimes, sometimes I do dream of like someone deciding to like do an annotated version of our show, and I'm just like, we have made a lot of a shit ton of references to a bunch of stuff. I just like, I want to see it written, a shit ton of references to a bunch of stuff. I just like, I wanna see it written out

and like diagrammed like how many different languages. All right, somebody do that. And I'm putting on, yeah. I'm putting on, yeah. I'm like, Martin Gardner, if you're out there. When I was, Anitates. That's what he's up to these days,

because he's dead Dan. Martin Gardner died. We've gotta get Joss Nevin's, the guy who, who, who, that's his name, right? Jess Nevin's, the guy who annotates League of Extraternary Gentlemen. He's still alive. No, Martin Gardner died a couple years ago. It's really sad about it.

Author of my favorite book, The Annotated Alice. Was that your favorite? That's one of my favorite books. I think it's even more than just reading Alice on Wonderland. I think my favorite is his annotated. No, no, I mean, to read everyone out there in podcast land. if you love the Alice books, but have not read the annotated Alice, you are missing out because it is so much more a rich experience to know. I mean, it's it helps. It's also the way he annotates it is delightful. Yeah. But if it

wasn't for the bedrock genius of Lewis Carles, it wasn't for bad rock, the genius Rob Lifel's character. My It wasn't for bad rock, the genius raw life films character. My other favorite book, Manu was Thursday, by G.K. Chesterton. I may mention on the short one. It's a pretty good one. Pretty good one. I read it.

That's in the fiction division. Nonfiction, of course. Power broke. I kind of stick to the mango section. And the journalist and the murderer by Janet Malcolm. Stewart takes to the mango section. You guys say just like tropical fruits. Yep, I like to sit in the aisles of Barnes and Noble,

chomping on a fucking mango. Then you go in now, this is a book. Yep, point this in the paperback favorites. What are those pants that have a card or a pants? It's in a book and you're getting the actual book. He's just wiping his hand on copies of other books. Oh my God, you must not like culture. Mangoes, it's from Japan. That's just wiping his hand on copies of other books. Oh my god. You must not like culture.

Mangoes. It's from Japan. That's not even true. Sir, can I please get you a book on mangoes to learn about what you're eating? Like, you can give me a book. I'm just going to get all sticky with this delicious mangoes. There's only one other mango I need and you pull up an SNL episode on YouTube with Chris Katana's mango. Sure. Sir, please get out. Sir, give me back my iPad. You're getting mango juice. How did you get into our Wi-Fi network? I can only tell from your pants that you're some kind of a hacker or a matrix guy. Are you wearing leather pants in the scenario? Yeah, and a mesh under your shirt.

Yeah, a lot of stress. Yeah, a lot of stress. For holding, I guess, like what, like jump drives and things. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, we're not even done with the story lines. That's fine. So she's. No one cares.

So she's overprotective of her daughter. Her daughter starts dating the ex football player. And everybody, there's a certain point when. Can you forget about the one girl just kidding Simmons just getting Simmons daughter, who was like soup skinny. Super Anna. Yeah, well, I was the world's tiniest teen. I was talking about it before. It was a terrible eating disorder in his part of an online community of anorexics,

who and blemix, who are egging her on to get ever thinner. Or as a gypsy would say, if what their relative was hit by their car, her car, yeah, they there. If she got that curse on her, she'd be like, thank you. This is not a curse. This is a gift. Now, shall we just run through what happens with the, there's like a shirt? You can eat that shepherd's pie that you want to eat. That's true. And the cupcake that she smushes away. Instead of just looking at it like they advised her online, eventually everything comes to a head as these story lines slam together, but not before.

Slambo. Not before the part that made me the maddest, which was when a history teacher. Cut to a high school history class. High school history class. The teacher puts the word, put nine slash eleven on the board. So what is this? And I was like, please let this be fucking math class. Please let it be a fraction.

Yeah, that they just didn't fact check after beforehand. They did, they were, everyone on set. I shouldn't just let them do what everyone on it. Everyone on set was like, yeah, that's a fraction. And then whether we're editing Jason Reign, I was like, oh shit. I forgot that was a date of a tragedy. Wowzers.

Oh boy, can we change that digitally in post? No. There's something about digital technology. Can't change anything written on a whiteboard. It's called the never forget algorithm. I just want to let you change those numbers. We've tried running that. These colors don't run.

But it's only reinforcing the problem. So the teacher goes, does anyone know what this means? And one of the students goes, is that the day that terrorist attacked or what we're trying to do? And he goes, yes. Aside from Pearl Harbor, who was the only time America was attacked

by a foreign power on its home soil, which is not true at all. At this point, steam started shooting out of Eliot's ears and his hat flipped up in the air and made this sound like a tea kettle. Unless I missed the phrase in the 20th century Which is also not true. It's like what about the War of 1812, dude They burned Washington DC to the ground

Why do you think we have a White House because they burned the executive mansion down? Hanksho old news dude, and it's like much like the Old news it's over two years ago It's much like the rest of the movie. I couldn't tell if the film was saying this guy is a bad history teacher or if the film was saying we don't know anything about history that like we as a movie think that this is true. The movie like wanted to have it both ways throughout the film of the internet's bad but also hey back off don't go into get some out about the internet really it's about being a better parent. And so there's a part where all the parents learn that they've been bad parents, where

a skinny girl who has had her first sexual experience with- Well, I like her line of margarita. The girl with an eating disorder, who's friends with a girl who's going out with the ex-football player, etc., etc., who are hanging out at the home of the most offensively stereotyped gay teen I've ever seen in a movie. It's like a mutual... It's like, let's use some broad strokes here. The only way they could have made him more

outwardly cartoonishly gay is if he dressed like Ducky from Pretty and Pinch. I mean, he wasn't like Hollywood and mannequin, like... You just can't know. He wasn't like, oh and mannequin on the move. But that's... I think there he's in both of them. Yeah, he's in both of them now. I said mannequin and mannequin two on the move. No, I think there is in both of them. Yeah, he's in both of them.

I said mannequin and mannequin two on the move. Yeah, I said and. I didn't hear that connection. mannequin, will mannequin and the children. She's the one who has a hermit's head. mannequin two on the move. Yeah, you're right. That's the thing.

The hermit from hermit's head is a neck, too. Who is that actor? I forget his name. We're calling him hermit from now until infinity. William something. William Sadler. William Cat. This is William Tell. Now William H. Macy who actually does a small cameo as a bartender in this movie.

A bartender? A blue bar divider. It barely looks like him. Like William H. I mean, he's in the background, didn't he? Can't really tell, dude. And he's in, he's in great actor. He's not in the same scene with the snippiest bartender I've ever seen in a movie. Outside of the one in the grifters who beat Sub-John Kews, I was a bat. Where Dennis Hayesbert sitting with Rosemary DeWidd and she goes, I'll have a, what did

she say? A Cosmo. And Dennis Hayesbert says, she'll have a cosmo when he goes yeah, I heard Call for I'm built for you in 24 Look the unit I don't need your sass So the all these things come to a head when the skinny girl who's had her first sexual experience with her gay friends brother Who and this is which is great? She tells her friends friends they're hanging out in his room watching Breaking Amish while his his brother's friends play a guitar hero rock star or something and they.

I think they chose Breaking Amish as an homage to the Norse of Breaking Bad. No. Probably. That would be a very loud homage. The best about month. Yeah. She goes, Agadhi's the bathroom. She goes to the bathroom door, opens and closes it, and then runs into the brother, has sex with him for like 45 seconds, walks out,

and then just for her alibi, opens and closes the bathroom door again. Now, when she does this, she's standing right in front of the open bedroom door of her friend. He could see her walk up to the door, open and close it, and then walk in again. I don't think breaking homage is so incredibly captivating that they're peripheral vision just disappeared. But that touches one of the few times that I came close to liking the movie, though,

on the other hand, because I'm just like, that's a stupid teenager. Yeah, you so. She ends up having an ectopic pregnancy, but because her body is so malnourished, which has nothing to deal with ghosts. No, it is not an ectoplasmic pregnancy, in which is when, yeah, I guess Limer comes after you.

You get burnt up. You get burnt up. Shit, shit, a little hot dogs. You just lay that, just lay that Cosby show episode of Red Dreams, he goes birth to a submarine sandwich after I assume a submarine sandwich roofie Cosby And sexually assaulted him and that's where you got the it's how you do it. I guess the Cosby world the Cosbyverse and so So here her JK just kidding Simmons is not kidding when he is very disappointed He's like I'm so unhappy. I'm going to leave this movie forever.

And then I show back up. He's the first time to deal with it, you know, and now you. The kid who can't get it up, except if it's a video, he tries to have sex with the girl who has the website and he can't really. Which seems like it's right up his alley, right? Yeah, you think so. But it doesn't work. His parents never find out he has a problem. Football kid, he...

I mean, who says he has a problem? Nothing out of the day. He just needs to talk to more people and actually make a connection with somebody that isn't totally like, I don't know, so obsessed. I guess you're right, yeah. The football kid, Adam Sandler and his wife eventually decide, hey, you know what, let's not tell each other about our dalliances, we'll just have breakfast. Forget about it, yeah.

We'll just forget about it. Yeah. Hey. Oh. There's a great scene of Adam Sandler making breakfast and he's cutting food like a guy who has never cut food before. He's cutting onions and he's coming them into the smallest little queues. Like, he wants to get every bit of teardrop out of his eyes with those onions. Like you know in his head, he's coming them into the smallest little cues. Like he wants to get every bit of tear drop out of his eyes

with those eyes. Like you know in his head, he's like, Megan breakfast. A Megan breakfast. Like a person. This is what someone who doesn't have a live in shift does, right? He's singing an opera man song about Megan breakfast. Yeah, without his red hooded sweatshirt.

And the football guy, he's mad because his mom is getting remarried. He has a fight with his dad. His dad finds out that his friends on Guild Wars were rousing him with some off-color remarks about his mom. So he calls his credit card company as the delete the account, which is how that works, I guess. Now the football kid, after having gotten in a fist fight with a guy who threw a football at his girlfriend I was given depression pills by school psychologist Phil or Mar he to saw and so he contacts with this girl He's Hermes from do for a he has a full name. It's Hermes pan Actually, no, that's a choreographer. I guess the

Where it was oh wait, so he got all these depression pills. He got some, he's so distraught over his dad deleting his guild wars account. He gets in touch with his girlfriend. But he just needs to make a human connection for a change. But his girlfriend's crazy mom has got the phone and tells him thinking it's her. Oh, and she discovered a secret tumbler account that her daughter had where she dresses up like a, like she does does she pulls a whole uh... city Sherman

untitled film stills where she dresses up in a bunch of different costumes and stuff she's mad about it she pretends to be a daughter on the phone and tells the boyfriend to buzz off the boyfriend having lost both his girlfriend and his guild wars account one night tried to kill himself with the pills uh... and and his dad, like,

his dad forces the realization on him that his mom left both his dad and him. And it's never coming back, yeah. And so they go off and do whatever, his girlfriend shows up, finds him, finds him almost dead, they go to the hospital, in the hospital, Jennifer Garner realizes she's made a terrible mistake. Are there any plots I've forgotten about?

I've made a terrible mistake. And Dean Norris gets back with Judy Greer after she realizes that she is being a bad mom, soccer mom, by taking photographs of her daughter. Judy Greer gets a call from America's next big celebrity. And they tell her, hey, your daughter had the best audition, but there's this weird website she has

where she's just in underpants and we can't allow that because the entertainment business and the reality TV business is about wholesomeness and quality. She is distraught, she mentions it. It's really nice of that person though to explain all the reason. She's a very thorough explanation,

as opposed to just sending them a rejection letter. She says to Dean Norris had, do this thing is that weird? He's like, that's super weird. I don't wanna see you. She tells her daughter, she deleted the site, her daughter is mad at her, and runs off, calls her the B word. That's right, a buzzer.

Got her face. Got her face. And she and DeNorris get back together. And in the end, everybody has kind of like, much like a Shakespeare play, everyone's kind of repaired up into couples. And then a satellite floats through space.

And Emma Thompson reads us a super pretentious Carl Sagan quote about how important it is to remember that we're all together on this dust mode of a speck of a planet floating in the infinity of the universe. So let's take care of it, shall we, and take care of each other. And that's it. That of the universe. So let's take care of it. Shall we and take care of each other and That's it. That's the end. Mm-hmm. So what I think Carl saying was thinking was Why don't you make a podcast about this movie? Yeah, I wish the movie ended with aliens just blasting that satellite never Never listening to the record on it. Yep. I fucking void whale swallowing up all It goes right into the mouth of the asteroid worm from their first right snake. It's like finally I've been so hungry. It gets to get devoured by a bunch of

mine ox. And then those aliens hover above the earth and the words to be continued. In men, women and children too, men, women and children versus the aliens. Yeah. So, let's just move on to final judgments whether this is a good bad movie, a bad, bad movie or movie you kind of liked. I will say that for the first 15 to 20 minutes of this movie, I thought you loved it. I thought this is maybe my least favorite movie we've ever watched because it was so, so overbearing about all the internet stuff. Like, it was just an article in movie form and the article was a hysterical article about

how the internet is ruining everything. Rather than, you know, taking the internet as maybe a symptom of pre-existing problems, like, the internet is a tool. The internet is not in and of itself bad. The internet can be used for bad and it can be used for good. And all of the bad things that was shown being used for, there's a good side. Like the Anorexia, the Anorexia thing where people were encouraging the girl to be anorexics. It could just as easily have been a support group for anorexics. Yeah.

Who are like, no, you can't do this, you gotta do something else. As much as the internet can alienate people, it also brings people together. And I think we also, we maybe we take it a little personally because we do an internet-based podcast that has a following on the internet. And we've seen a lot of people become friends and kind of get through tough times.

And I've made friends with people like L.A. K. Lin and Dan McCoy. Yeah, and like, I met my wife. Over the internet, we're not actually sitting in the same room. like, I met my wife. Over the internet, we're not actually sitting in the same room. No, we've never met, never met first. We're actually, we've been, we're in the Matrix right now. Oh great. Well, we're only Matrix all the time,

that's why the steak tastes so good. I'm just pulling up a bunch of shelves with super cool weapons on them. I'll take two katanas, please. The katanas are really gonna help you in the gun fight. They're gonna look cool though. I'm gonna joppa with some half. And speaking gonna look cool though. I'm gonna job bullets in half And speaking of someone who like met his wife on the internet like that's the idea that I mean but then by the second half of the movie

It's all that gets abandoned. It's about bad parenting. It's like you thought this was all the internet No, no, no, no, no, it's about bad parents And I hated the movie slightly less when that happened, but we'll get started Yeah, like I wish that the stuff had started happening. That would have been great. And by the time stuff started happening, I was like, okay, well, they're good actors doing this, and it's shot glossily, so it's not, at least it's not super boring, but the movie's bad. It's a bad, bad movie.

It is super boring, though. There were two times when we checked how much movie was left, and both times I thought that we had like 10 minutes left, and then it turned out once we were not even halfway through the film. And the second time I think we still had like 30 minutes left. Yeah, the first half hour of the movie was more preachy and insufferable than God's not dead, a movie that is all preachy.

This movie felt like, so imagine you're a kid, and you're a kid and you have dinner and your parents are like, well, if you eat your vegetables, you'll get your dessert and you're like, okay, and you start eating vegetables and they're like, here's some more vegetables, kid. And you keep eating vegetables and it actually turns out those vegetables are filled with poison because they're wrong. This is metaphor makes sense. It's not exactly. I thought you were going to say there was no dessert at the end. There's no dessert at all. That bad bad is what you're wrong. This is metaphor makes sense. It's not exactly. I thought you were gonna say there was no dessert at the end. There was no dessert at all.

That bad, bad is what you're saying. Yeah. All right. I mean, good, great. Yeah, I'm gonna say best picture. Okay, that sounds great. Hi everybody, I'm Justin McAroy. And I'm Dr. Sydney McAroy. Every Tuesday we bring you solbos, a marital tour of misguided medicine, a show about all the dumb, weird, terrible ways that we've tried to fix each other over the years.

You know, some light summer listening. Maybe you want to hear about yogurt enemas, or why we tried to eat mummies for a while, or why drinking cholera di diarrhea sounded like a good idea. That and so much more is waiting for you every Tuesday, right here, on the maximum fun network with saw bones, a marital tour of misguided medicine. Before we move on to letters, first off, first off vals. There's bastards. There are a bunch of... Not a great interview that guy. Before we move on to letters, first off. First off, vaults.

There's pastors. There's a bunch of, not a great interview that guy. So do I, because he seems so delighted. Yeah, he's a great character, I do. There are a lot of plugs actually that, they look real. When did you start losing your hair? I'm never at hair.

I was bald as a baby and it's all been plugs. I mean, most people are bald as babies. uh... i'm never at here i saw it i was balled the baby and solving plugs and i mean most people are balled babies did you just not wait for the heroian elia if you ever seen the movie powder yeah good point uh... no there's some uh... plugs that i want to get in here first off

uh... a bunch of plugs for friends of the show and then lastly a plug for us. So that's a teaser. But there's a plug for us somewhere a plug for us and that's somewhere at the end of these other plugs. Yeah, so they're gonna be chomping at the bit. Champing. They're gonna be chomping at the bit. So let's get through these other plugs. Yeah. So they're going to be chomping at the bit. Champing. They're going to be chomping at the bit. So let's get through these other plugs. This a bit. Let's just keep going because I'm not chomping on it. Okay. So first off, um, I've been meaning to, I've been meaning to four months. I can see you resisting it the first time I said that. I know that I resisted the second time. He said the first time I said it. Then the second time I said that. No, I resisted the second time. He said the first time I said it,

then the second time I wanted to, and the third time I came back to it. Okay. So, I've been meaning to make this plug for a long time, I just keep forgetting. My brother, John. It's the 2012 Olympics. They're in China, everybody.

Finally, China's time on the world stage. It's Charles Dickens new. What the fuck? What novel? Yeah, but I'm like cereal. Serial. It's called Dickens O's. The world's fair in Chicago, everybody. The white city. It's the Colombian Exposition. Hell, they have some kind of ferrising wheel? I don't even know. Go see it. There's a devil there. Sure.

So, the first plug, I've been meaning to say this for a while. My brother, John, has a podcast called Soft More Lit. I wanted to plug it. It's the premises. He looks at books that are typically assigned in high school English classes, and he revisits them as an adult to talk about whether they hold up why you think that there have been like books that are assigned to generation after generation of high school kids. I was on an episode talking about Lord of the Flies.

There have been episodes about catching the rise, separate pieces. When you guys were talking about Lord of the Flies, did you guys break it down? What click were you in? Were you broke up? Were you a piggy? Were you a Ralph?

No, I talked about how I was very sympathetic to piggy. Of course, everybody's sympathetic to piggy. Yeah Of course, to everybody's sympathetic to Piggy. Who were the bad guys? The grand ones. I was a grand one. So that's a... That's a podcast. I have a meeting to tell people to check out.

Like many podcasts, to some degree, it leans a lot on who the guest is. There are some that are very good on who the guest is. There's some that are very good because of the guest, but all of them I think are good because my brother is a good host. So that's sophomore lit. I also wanted to do a shout out to friend of the show,

Carolyn Fullford's podcast, The Loose Cannon podcast, that's C-A-N-O-N podcast. It's a movie podcast from more of a feminist perspective. So you should check that out. Maybe we're gonna get us on that yet. I have not. Okay. But I also wanted to do a plug for our friend, Ramell Wood, who is doing a live show on Monday the 16th, at 730, at Vidiology, that's free. And Monday the 16th, at 730, after the set. Monday after the set. Monday after the set.

Monday after the set. Monday after the set. Monday after the set. Monday after the set. Monday after the set. Monday after the set. Monday after the set. Monday after the set. Monday after the set. Monday after the set. Monday after the set. He's doing the Delores Clayborn Minute Live with Ramell Wood of Radio Free Broke from the Seer Hammer featuring Body and Mod, a film podcast host, Elmer Kagan, and Cassini

Yorosh, as well as Almo Drafthouse programmer, Kristina. Kristina. No, Kristina. This is a small piece of bread. Kristina. Yeah, she's got, it's a piece of bread with basil and tomato and olive oil. Great film. Delicious.

That's delicious. Christina Kacheopo. That's how you say your last name, right? I'm glad you did that. But this is a thing that started out kind of as a joke on recap culture. The idea that you do a recap of like television shows and she's like, well, you know, what's what can I do a recap of? I'll do a recap of a minute of the movie Delores Clape. Telling you what happened in that minute.

But it's become more of more of something. It's become more. Jamer. Yeah, so that's gonna be a video. I'll see those are all all the hosts are great. Yeah, great friends of ours and people we respect. Great people.

Check them out. It's gonna be a good show. I hope to make it, but I don't know what I'm gonna do. But lastly, let's move on to our plug. What is the Flapp House Live? It's happening again at the Bell House. And beautiful Gawanna's Brooklyn. Beautiful as an overstatement.

Yeah. Literally walking distance from my apartment and mine, but slightly farther walking distance. Damn, we'll probably take a car. Now, the bellhouse, we did our last live show here. We haven't done a live show in like a year. Yep. This will be our first live show since we sold out the place for podfest.

So we're hoping to sell it out again. We're hoping to resell out the who sell out again, let's say. So yeah, so buy a ticket for yourself, buy a ticket for all your friends. It's on set. Not just one ticket for all your friends. Buy a ticket for my parents, so they'll actually come and see me for a change.

Maybe like buy a ticket for Santa. Santa, okay, yeah, yeah. Buy a ticket for Elijah. Yeah, he, yeah, yeah, I think for Elijah. Yeah, he's not gonna show up, but you know, that's his thing. So, no, it's on January the 15th. 2016. Well, next year is at 9 p.m.

The doors open at 8.30. That sounds like a great, like Christmas gift. Or holiday. Yes, maybe. Whatever holiday show. Great, do you want to buy some of Diwali gift? Go ahead and do maybe. Whatever holiday show. Right. Do you want to buy something to do a lolly gift? Go ahead and do it.

It's $12. It's at the Bell House, 149th, 7th Street in Brooklyn. We haven't decided what movie we will be discussing yet. But it's going to be a big dumb one. Yeah, rest assured. We will come up with something great. We've been batting around some ideas, and I think people are going to be really interested

when we tear down Fury Road. What a stinker. So, those are our plugs. I want to also say this has been plug talk. Yeah. No, no, it's good. It's great. Anyway.

I noticed you checking your Apple watch very poor during that. I just wanted to show off for the have one. It's really cool. It's like a secret agent from the 50s. Before we went to the future, got an Apple watch. Before we move on to letters, I just want to thank people for sending us a few things. I want to thank Keith Fips.

You may know Keith Fipsps from, of course, I thought it was Keith. Last name was held. And the Angan-Avee club, the Angan-Avee club. They call it Mr. Mips. No way they call Mr. Pib. But thank you very much. I'll read a letter that he sent to us with something like 30 DVDs that he sent. A lot of DVDs. A lot of your flop-ups. Dear flop-ups. As you know, I used to have an office and in that office I could pile up so much crap,

just mounds and mounds of wonderful crap. I no longer have that office and though I now have a home office with a towering set of shelves, I still have to be selective about the physical media I keep, which brings us to the contents of this box. In an ideal world, I'd have a room to store these movies in time to watch them, and this world I have neither. But I can't bear the thought of just selling them off or giving them away to strangers, and I thought they might find a good home with you.

The enclosed films include everything from boobs and butts to eviscerations and eyeball gouging, making an educated guess on those last two. I recommend Sugar Hill, which I've seen. It's a black exploitation zombie movie filmed in Houston. I like it in part because it's the rare revenge movie with the message that revenge is awesome. Please enjoy it as a small token of my appreciation for your continued accidents, excellence

and flopped them, your pal Keith Thips. Thanks Keith. Thanks Keith. Thanks for taking a box full of your crap and sending it to Brooklyn, a place where we have a ton of space for crap. I don't know why he's sleeping. He's not like he says sarcastic about literally the most generous gift. No, it's a super great gift.

I love it. Wow. You've seen how far back storage eyes rolled yep, they rolled all the way back like a slap machine And then it said bar bar fruit so I have three eyes now, I guess I Been spending a lot of time with my yogi I'm not having time with my yogi. Yogi bear, yeah. You have to call that big and big and big and big. Is this, I'm getting really excited.

I'm sorry. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life.

I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my life. I'm trying to cross my Okay. I also want to thank, uh, listener Michael, Michael Siri from Michael Sarah for sending me a, uh, lovely photo of myself and my now sadly deceased cat Lulu, which hangs in my home. Thank you for sending me a package that I opened up and made me cry almost immediately. I would say there's a few things creepier than getting a package and opening up and finding a photograph of yourself. It was pretty obvious that I was sort of incidental to that. The cat

was the main feature, but it was very nice and also very sad making. Yeah, but sad making. My wife's and my sad making has gone down in recent years. You know, if I'm a kid, you're not sad as much. You spent too much time playing words with friends. As in the movie, yeah, we're sitting next to each other playing words with friends together on my face instead of making sad. And we're breaking sad with Dean Norris. Wow.

But thank you to everyone. And now we move on to letters from listener. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba letters. Let's give him a move. Oh my god. Ha-ha. All right. I like it.

It's got a hot day to get home, dude. Yeah, it's called sleep skull. Where my son wakes me up. It's called draft gings. Ha-ha-ha. No, you can't do that in our state anymore. my son wakes me up. It's called Draft Gings. You can't do that in our state anymore. So this goes, hi, my favorite original peaches. It's November. So you know what that means. Cajamas Creep has begun. You can already see the decorative ornaments. Shot over just ended, Cajamas already.

And traditional Cajamas piñatas lining the halls of your local superstore. My question to you is this, what are your favorite Kajamas carols? I'm a big fan of ROCK and the USA around the Kajamas tree, as well as God rest you merry ghost riders. And I can't help but cry when I hear, still all in night. I'm really surprised. I expected a novelty holiday album from Elliot, if not the whole flop gang. Yes, if you would be so kind, please plug my own podcast news show. All right It's called Dan you choose to read the letter after read. It's called you stop anytime you want

It's it's called gubermitch it tracks my friend Dylan last name with held and my travel on the road to self-improvement And all the comedic tangents we have along the way. We do weekly homework. A friend of copyright tangents? Listeners submitted challenges and discuss our myriad problems. Thanks. That's Rubermanche.

Nathan, not for us this time. They seem like a nice guy though. This next letter goes like this. Howdy, dudes. I've realized that all but one of the original peaches has admitted to a sorted affair with everyone's beloved Anne Hathaway. Elliott, we all know that back in high school, you two were StarCross lovers. Hollywood StarCross. StarCross. StarCross. StarCross. Oh man, you got a pay extra for that.

Our crusts were filled with stars. Just like in 2001, he thought I see a tape bone just cut open the crust on his pizza and said,, God, it's full of stars. Yeah, because it's new pizza house, star crust pizza. Yep. There's monkeys. You're like, get the, get the avales, get the tomatoes. He throws the bone in the ear in the ear. And then it turns into a dough that's been thrown up by an Italian pizza maker.

But he threw it up in zero gravity on a spaceship so it never comes down. And then it turns into a dough that's been thrown up by an Italian pizza maker. But he threw it up in zero gravity on a spaceship so it never comes down. So I can't have pizza in space. YouTube. We're star. Cry. You see. Hollywood starlet meets my door. It was the romance of the ages. Dan, as we all know, after Elliot and Anne entered their once secret affair, Anne Hathaway went on to marry none other than William

Shakespeare. That is all. Let me check the records. Yep, that bears out. That is almost technically factually correct. Dan notes in an aside. Because of all this, we all know that Anne's butt holds a special place in Dan's heart. But Stu, what are you hiding? Where do you play in Anne's half way's life? Have you been the weird purve who's been pulling the strings in Hollywood to make Miz Halfway have a cute makeover in every single movie? Princess Diaries, Devil Wars, Prada, Dark Knight Rises, Liamiz Arab.

Brought back Mountain. What's your secret steward? Jude last name, not with hell Jackson. Well let's see uh that never mind. I didn't I didn't realize I like camera japs. Japs and Jackson speed. Remember his dead action japs. Of course, it's a sentence from the American president, Andrew Japson. Yep. And football star, Bo Japson. Hey, you knew two sports.

He does know, diddly. Let's see. What is my deal with old Annie Haths? Well, you can probably see me in the backs of scenes that she's in. In the backs of scenes. she's in the rear of the scene. The fight of a scene. Whoa, dude, I was just talking about the rear.

I mean, I guess every time the scene. Yeah. In the background, I was a background artist. Background. I've never heard it said like two words before. It makes me realize how weird that thing is. Background. I've never stewed delighted any claps at something.

He claps like he's one of those monkeys with the symbols. Just shattering his teeth away. Bring it back. I'd like to kids. I was a background artist in movies like The Dark Knight Rising. rising, uh, uh, uh, broke back mountain, uh, havoc princess diaries. These are all names of the halfway. So I was in the background of some of those scenes, like when you see the gang members hanging out, I was one of those gang members in the movie havoc in the movie, dark night rising

when there's those gang members in the background. I was one of those gang members in the princess diaries where she goes up and skulls those gang members. I was one of the supporting gang members. Yeah, and Les Mis, you were a gang member. Oh, of course I was. And Les Mis, you were a beautiful pixie haircut. I was one of the miserables.

Well, thanks for... I hope that clarified things. If not, hit me up on my cell dog And you'll be like new phone who does Dude don't spoil it So this next letter says hey Hey genius sex machine

Dan You guys have made repeated reference to a comic book storyline where, quote, superboy flies to the edge of the universe and punches reality. Yeah. Wait, what? Come on, Riley last name withheld. It was like in crisis. That was the DC's big reboot crossover from a couple of years ago. I was low bow in that one or is that 52? Of course, low bow was in it. Or was that 54?

Car 54? Car 54, where are you? Wait, so car 54, where are you in studio 54? Were they related in any way? They're like the same time frame, right Dan? They're not at all car 54 was a little earlier than studio 54. Yeah, well, but what couldn't have been that early They had to have invented cars

It was like the 1830s. Yeah, it's not like a bunch of me Not like a bunch of monkeys with a bone around an novelist. I mean from a geological point of view car 54 is still on the air So I hope that answered your question about DC comics Anyway, it was infinite crisis Last letter of the evening. Hey, Pete. Yeah, that was Infinite Crisis, right? I don't know.

I don't know. It was how they like solved all the other. They did a bunch of reboots. Yeah, was it? Was it a golden that one? Was what? Was booster gold in that one? They were all in it.

Every character. The question? I think even Prez was in it. It was just a way of it. Even Brother Power the Geek, I think was in it. They wanted to clean up their universe and it was prezz was in it. Just a way of even brother power the geek I think was in it. They wanted to clean up their universe and it was a way of explaining it. They're like, I don't know fucking super boy punches a thing. Matter eating lad eats the whole shit who cares? Comic books bouncing boy bounce too hard I guess. Plastic man and baby playa, just I don't know. She's hit for rewind, but- She's hit for rewind, but-

She's hit for rewind, but- She's hit for rewind, but- She's hit for rewind, but- She's hit for rewind, but- She's hit for rewind, but- She's hit for rewind, but- She's hit for rewind, but- She's hit for rewind, but-

There are times that I'll remember the plastic man cartoon show, and we would guess not to be like, did I, did I, did I, did I show really exist? So my wife has never read a comic book, but for some reason she watched the plastic man cartoon show. So any time there's like a stretchy character, like we'll see the ad for the Fantastic Four movie. She's like, is he like Plasting Man or Baby Plants? She thinks Baby Plants is like the second biggest character. I think, yeah, I think she's fucking with me.

Like every time we see a boba fat around, she's like, is he, he's a robot, right? You're like, he's clearly not, he's wearing khaki pants. Yeah, robots can wear khaki pants. It's insane. It was the last time he's so much like khaki pants. Yeah robots. We're Kaki pants insane. We're the last time you saw my Kaki pants robots like the party. Yeah. Come on. We were in blue to jeans. They were in denims. So this last last of our the evening it goes like this. Hey, peaches.

Maybe the goofiest letters segment ever. Invisible maniac. Castle freak. In the head of the family. Three great tastes. Walk into a bar. The bartenders like, but your movie is on. But I'm not the granny. So the bar is one of the, it's crazy. So it's a bar for horror movie people? I mean, I guess the bar of actual DVD did it. They went to the bar called Pimit's Place.

Sure. Okay, okay, that was silly. Those movies, those three movies, soon to be released by Criterion as the Wellington Collection are well established in the Flop House canon as Stewart's favorite films. Yeah. What are Dan and Ellie?

It's equivalent to the Wellington Collection, though. For YouTube, which three films would you pick out as not necessarily the best films of all time, but rather the films that are most characteristic of your taste? Stuart, since your three picks are already established, feel free to just sit quietly and smug judgment of your friend's taste, looking forward to your answers. First name with hell, last name with hell, middle name, danger. I can chime in though, because one of Dan's is Stopping Sense. Well, here's a thing. Stopping Sense, Cheeky, what's your third one Dan? little name danger. I can chime in though, because one of Dan's is stopping sense.

Well, here's a thing. Stop making sense, cheeky. What's your third one Dan? No, I mean, there's actually a difference between. And manual goes to college, boom. You know, it goes to college. Woman with weird sensuality-based superpowers, it turns out you didn't finish your degree.

We used to come back, see, there's a difference between like the movies that would, there was a difference between the movies that would like be most emblematic of my taste and the movies would be equivalent to the Wellington collection. Because like if we're talking about the the former, yeah, maybe like stop making sense. And I don't know, the third man and his girlfriend a put those together or something like that. or like maybe toss in some marshmallows. But sure toss in a couple of them. If, yeah, just make sure one of them's not zippo.

Yeah, not zippo. Gummo. Gummo's in there just to like, it's like a fabric softener. But um, it's, it's, it's nothing sounds more like a fabric softener than gum. Dan, remind me to never let you do my laundry. But if we're doing like an equivalent to Stuart's Wellington collection, I don't know, I think I might,

mine might be Return of the Living Dead, which I mentioned almost as much as Stuart has mentioned his movies. Yep. You recommend stopping since at least twice. Yeah, but this is a different. We're talking about what have you seen on a plane? We're not crap. So you're making me forget. Oh, I'm messing up your train of thoughts. Do you want L.A. to do his flow? You just you just threw a mind penny onto his train of thoughts. Well, this because

that's your asking my favorite movies movies would be yeah, they're different that's different because then that would be the Taken and Pelin 123, the original. Shadow of a doubt. Yeah. And either a night at the opera or the miracle of Morgan's Creek. But it kind of like, but yeah, you're those things. We have a link to the Wellington collection. I've got it. I remember it was a return to the living dead, big, treble, little China, and I don't know, maybe the monster squad. That's the... Like, I don't know what, yeah, I mean,

there's, there's, don't get me wrong, Stuart. There are too many movies where I think of where I'm like, yeah, that would be like that, except I have more respect for that movie than I think you do for like invisible maniac. I've even like, I've been like, I've been like, even like, Grimmel's to the new batch.

Like Grimmel's to the new batch is a genuinely brilliant movie that I love. Like I wouldn't ever recommend that as like a joke, but maybe I'd recommend like, even like Return of the Living Dead, I think is great. You know, I think you guys are suggesting I'm recommending these movies as a joke. And I think you're stupid.

I think you're not doing it for real, but you're not like, these are the best movies. Or I don't know, maybe you are. But like, I wanna say a movie like like Teen Wolf which I think is totally dumb, but as a kid I watch it over and over again Teen Wolf is a good pick Mm-hmm, but I can't think of two other ones. So okay, so we're we're gonna be about a teenage wolf is so amazing Probably counts as three movies who serves on a van. Let's go We're in Teen Wolf, okay, I'm not one of the characters. Maybe I'm Boof, who gives a shit.

You clearly know that. One of you guys's styles, and one of you guys Teen Wolf, I can't be styles. Who's gonna be which? Dang, I think Dan would be Teen Wolf. I think he'd be styles, Elliot. I could see it going the way. I know you guys.

I do want to be styles. Styles, one, never has sex. Two, is not a werewolf. That's true. You want to be the Teen Wolf, but I can see it going either way. Because both me and Michael J. Fox have no business being on a basketball team. Since we're both about three foot six.

I think we should go get a van, renavann. Okay, one of you guys has good credit, right? We're only way to test this. So let's renavann and you guys both have to surf on top of it. Sure. And then we both have to walk around with a shirt on that says,

what are you looking at, dick nose? Okay. See who wears it best? And then yeah, I'll interview people on the street as to who look more comfortable and But we'll put it in a ask weekly Okay, yeah, we have to go into both of us weekly Into a liquor store and try to con them into selling us a keg of beer. We'll see who's successful and who's not successful Okay, so these are pretty clear criteria. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty easy to decide who's the styles Okay, let's wrap this podcast up. Which one of us is a total geek loser who when he enters a party situation becomes the king ring master that everybody listens to. Mm-hmm. That's styles. Yeah, and which one of us is a quiet guy who becomes a wear wolf

Who's in a civil war play because that's the signal? Yeah, it's a tough one. I feel like they both have their advantages and disadvantages. I mean, that's why it's. Yeah, one of them is not clearly better. That's why it's a challenge. It's hard to pick. I mean, I feel like in all male relationship, the person has to ask himself in this relationship and why the team will for the styles.

Yeah. And it's, you have to hold up that mirror, that wolf colored mirror, or style, color mirror, who knows colored mirror. Or style's colored mirror. Who knows? Maybe you're just his dad, kind of like, I'm gonna be the dad in this case. You'll be the dad who's kind of like,

I'm like an older proud wolf. He's like a, like the poor man's version of the dad from Gremlins. I mean, I'd be more like the coars like beer wolf probably, but who's the actor, who's Francis from Peewee's big adventure? Oh, that's a good question. Because he's not, well, he's kind of a non-entity in the movie. He's in it, but he's certainly

not a Francis type. We don't have that many characters on our podcast. All right. Here's the question I have about Tien Wolf, and it's something I've wondered before, maybe on the podcast. Yeah, maybe Jubin. Why does being a wolf make you better at basketball? Well, that jubin. Why does it being a wolf make you better at basketball? Well, that's clearly easy. It's easy.

Jumping and he can smell the ball. He's using all of his senses. He can hear the dribbling. So, but here's the thing. You would think that they're playing teams from other schools. You would think word would eventually get out to the media. We talked about this like a silly in time. There is a little one on the team.

So many would, there's a team. Yeah, the school fucking paper. Yeah, talked about this like, there is a little bit more fun on the team. So many would, yeah, the school fucking paper show, it comes up like, he's favorite. What are the ethics of using a wearable bin basketball? I'm just imagining what they're like. They just like, the local news,

like just treats it as like a color story, like a local high school has a bit of a different sort. They found a player. They thought they were in a hairy situation. I was gonna make a hairy situation. But now they're howling all the way to the state championships. I'm just saying. Local school has a player that wolfstown cheeseburgers.

His name is Jughead. And he's not a player. He's just a guy with an inside out hat that looks like a crab. He's a guy with a crab hat. He's just a guy who has the same face, but different hair as one of the teachers, Ms. Grundy. And also, looks exactly like his own girlfriend. He's just a guy who owns a dog with a time traveling dog house.

Look it up, it happens. He's just a guy who thinks girls are gross, but burgers are great. Film at 11. Why are you bringing us film of teenagers eating? We're not going to run this. Why did you cut a promo for it already? You're so did he, like, what, did he earn that crown? Was it given it? It's just a hat turned into that. Wait, what? Like Leo Gorsi used to wear in the Bowery Boys movies. Oh, but the, uh, so you just think this teams are always surprised they're playing a wolf.

You think one of the coaches would tip off another coach. Hey, one thing you should know, there's a wolf on their team. So I don't know, like, put silver on the ball so he can touch it. Yeah. Yeah. There's a wolf on their team. So I don't know like put silver on the ball so he can touch it. Covered in that popular wolf Spain energy drink. I'm just saying like if they throw the ball to him, somebody should just beat him to death with a silver head cane. The only way you're gonna win this game. Or what if the other team started supporting other monsters so a school show up with it?

We're gonna do it. We're gonna do it. We're gonna do it. Like we got a mummy, he's slow as shit, but he's super tough. He's super tall. He doesn't get tired at all. He's a monster, super tall. He's not super coordinated, but that's the, he's just on defense.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Drag Hill can turn into a mist. You think he can't help you get that won't help him dunk? Creature from the black, like, like,on can lick up everybody's sweat or something. I don't know. I don't know. You understand what that monster does.

What about, do we have a place? The visible man would be very useful. He'd be fantastic, but you never know if he was traveling or not. Yeah, you wouldn't know whether he's open, you wouldn't know anything. That's one of his advantages. It's not like the ref's gonna call it. That's true. He's gonna be like, that pass is just really slow.

It's not man, it's just pretending to be the wind. the ref's gonna call it. That's true. He's gonna be like that pass is just really slow. Even so, man, it's just pretending to be the wind, and then the referee, like, like, rubs his eyes and he goes, eat your, eat your, eat your, eat your, and he like pulls out a flash. It never again. We shouldn't have been, you shouldn't have been drinking during the game anyway, Mr. ref. He throws it. He throws it all out. Mr. Riff. He throws it. Oh, wow! He throws it while I'm drinking. Blah, blah, blah.

You're not a judge. So, like, what is it? There's a team as a Godzilla. Like, the Godzilla would be amazing. He just gets the ball once, drops it in the net. And then roast everybody with a blast of flame from his mouth. And it's how I met. Yeah.

Now, what monster's will be bad? Clearly, the Metaluna mutant from this island Earth, because his hands are just kind of like clamps. The blob would not be good. Yeah, it would monsters will be bad clearly the metaluna mutant from this island Earth because his hands are just kind of like clamps The plot would not be good. We just absorb the ball. Yeah, that would be terrible And then no one could get it. Yeah, those are bad mods the fly again not good. He's only got one human hand can fly Really? He's got a big fly head and the Jeff Goldblum fly can stick to walls. I guess but it's also you know deep down There's a Jeff Goldbloom death neck. That's you know, eventually, the thing is, he's like dribbling the ball

and then he pulls one of his own teeth out and throws it away, you know. It's a tactful, I mean. Don't eat that anymore. So I think we figured out that one. Yeah, so thank you for that question that turned into another thing. I don't, in such a way that I don't even remember what we're first be gassed about. I feel like we could easily do a podcast just about team.

Not even like. I thought you meant about like monsters, various sports abilities. That too we haven't even gotten into baseball yet. Yeah. So thanks for everyone who wrote in and again, thanks for everyone who sent us things and remember those plugs. Those were fun too. Yeah, yeah. Why not?

But we done. No, we got to do our last two. We were recommend stuff. We recommend movies that we saw that we actually liked. I'll go first and I'll try to make it fast. I saw a movie that was not a little movie. It was a big blockbuster movie. And I saw it yesterday and it was called Spectre.

It was the most recent. Oh, the movie about the Spectre DC character. Yeah, it's right. It's the most recent. He's a ghost police detective or something, right? It's ghost cop, yeah. Most recent James Bond movie, probably the last Daniel Craig movie,

unless they back up, but hello, hello, it's me, I'm dead, Daniel Craig. Did Daniel Craig retire from filmmaking? Why is he not making more movies? He just doesn't want to make more James Bond movies. Oh, the last Daniel Craig James Bond movie. That's right. Looks like someone needs to be clear with his language.

Dan, I have an essay for you. It's called The English Politics in the Slime. All right, I think I might have been in the process of getting to that, but I was being interrupted, but I don't know. Here's the thing. I feel like Skyfall was a little overrated. And then this movie, you mean you didn't love him turning out to be Batman? Yeah, like I feel like that man in a kind of home alone type scenario. I feel like that movie started out. Really good, silly point, the movie started out. Totally good. So we pointed that out well and then got like a weird mix of like

superdour and super goofy up to the moment he calls in the radio to come get Javier Bardam on Smuggler's Island. Yeah. It's a great movie. Yeah. And everything after that point is like descends over time. Yeah. And Spectre has a little bit of that problem too. Like at the very end of the movie it gets super goofy and there's a one of those old 60s comedies where everybody's chasing each other and they're buggy. It turns into the original version of Casino Royale. David Niven and Woody Allen just pick uping all over the place. No, like it has the problem that a lot of modern action movies do where they think like

everything has to get super personal. There should be a super personal reason behind everything to a ridiculous degree. And I won't get into spoilers, but suffice it to say it's stupid. But I enjoyed Spectre more overall than I enjoyed Skyfall. I feel like it balanced the tones of a James Bond movie better than anything since Sceneryl like it it was it was the new version of James Bond but it was still like retro and silly and fun. Was it like Moonraker? It was not like Moonraker. Oh, that's too bad.

But but it was very exciting and it had a lot of really great action sequences. It's got the balloon chin at two. It's got the balloon chin. Want to go balloon chin? Or the balloon chester fans go. Oh, no, no, Jim balloon. That's the balloon. And it's got as the balloon chin. And it's got maybe the most intense scene

of what strap James Bond do a thing and have it slowly attack him since gold. That sounds great. That's a long time since I enjoy it. Is it also crotch related like in Goldfinger? It's mentioned. It's a little bit of a mixed crotch. Okay, I guess the mind is the largest to rudge in a certain.

Yeah, that makes sense. So I enjoy that movie specter. I'm gonna recommend two movies, one old, one new. One of them is related to the movie we watch today kind of in that It's about parents and teens and it's a movie that I watch recently called grandma starring Lily Tomlin called grandma It's a man who should not dress up as Santa Claus and try to go down the chimney because they'll get stuck And Lily Tomlin is and is an old lady who is still mourning the death of her longtime partner and her granddaughter shows up one day and needs money for an abortion because she's pregnant and they go on a kind of like

pick a rest travelogue to get the money for it. It's a kind of small-scale movie that is there's a little bit of too much of a touch of the sassy grandma in, but I found it genuinely funny, and at the end of it, it was more about characters not making stupid decisions, but instead like being like, you know what, recognizing their kind of unnecessarily hostile behavior to each other and trying to change, and I like that about it. So I thought it was a good little movie, but this is related to Dan's recommendation. A movie I've been putting off watching for a long time and finally did was the classic spy movie, The Ippcrisfile.

That's a good one. Which I really enjoyed a lot. It's very clearly the anti-bond movie and that it is kind of a dour movie about a guy whose life is not very glamorous as a spy. But there's still a lot of really funny parts in it. And it managed to be funny without being silly or non-bleek, which I liked about it. So grandma, if you want to watch a new movie, the Ipproif Chris file, who wants an old movie.

You're okay. And now it's my turn. I'm steward. I'm going to recommend a movie for all of you. Thanks for rebranding. For anyone coming. For anybody just seen it now, I'm still I'm gonna rig them in the movie. This one is, you guys can correct me if I'm wrong, and asploitation joint. It's a little movie called a razor back. Called The Wizard of Oz.

Now this movie razor back was sent to me as a blue ray disc from listener, I'm gonna butcher this name. I probably set it before Cal Scoothorpe. Sounds right. It took me a little while to pop it into my old Blu-ray player because it was a non-American DVD, I think, and I was nervous that it wasn't going to play, but I popped it in and play it did. And boy, did I enjoy it. And thus ended the quest of the Razer Backdisk. It is about a giant ass Razer Back that is tearing shit up in the outback.

This old guy starts a quest to try and kill it because this giant Razer Back comes and kills, takes away his grandson and then it puts him on trial for doing something to his grandson. And so he starts his quest for vengeance to kill all razorbacks. In the middle, there's a couple of goofy like wacky, colorful Australian characters who are both like hunters and also just like general weirdo dickheads. Some Americans come and try and figure their way around Australia and they realize that it is a wacky place.

I totally recommend raising back watch that piece. All right, well thank you. Stuart, I did it. Thanks. I did it. You made it happen. Thanks. So this one we're done.

We haven't said this much, but I do want to say that, I mean, we are, I want to say a shout out to our network, Max Fun. Oh yeah. There's a lot of great shows. Yeah, let's see. I've been spending a lot of time listening to all of the shows on our network lately. I've been checking out, stop podcasting yourself with Dave and Graham, a couple of Canadian comedians. And there's something about the way Graham laughs, this crazy, weezing laugh, that is so funny,

and I can't just, I just wanna hear him laugh a lot. I just wanted something so endearing about it. The most recent episode includes a shout out, Elliott to yourself and myself from Mr. Al Madrigal, who's the guest. That's very nice. I haven't listened to it. I've probably got a shout out too, right? I mean, it would be hard since he's never met you.

And he actively was trying to replace you on him. Yeah. So he didn't say anything like nice about me. I mean, he hasn't said anything bad about you. I guess nothing bad is the next best thing. Yeah, he's a great guy. It's like Hospital Wild said the only thing worse than not being talked about is if someone says something bad about you. Oh, he did say that.

Yeah. Yeah, I got wallpaper that says that on it. Yeah, when he said the wallpaper has to go right. Yeah, and then he killed someone. And he put their body in the bed and said said Oscar Wilde's dead and he ran off. That is that's sort of clear. That is a great Oscar Wilde movie. Yeah. Much more so to me for me. As he, and then he jumped off a cliff and his parachute opened up and it was a big image of the Union Jack with someone committing so many We're with an anist in the middle of it.

I'm dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. It belongs to me, Ernest. Oscar Wilde will return in lots of balls. Whoa. I'm trying to get off Thunder Balls. I don't know. Thunder Ball. Yeah.

Like a single ball. Yeah. I didn't. I'm not Kobe Broccoli. I didn't title the movie. The most erotic part of the man's in the anime, the ball. Not only do a coffee table book based on that. Yeah, it's only in a singular.

Maybe like those tassin' balls. It's a binary, it is uninteresting, testicle. Sure. For some reason, no one ever buys it, but it's in every barn's a binary. It is uninteresting testicle. Sure. For some reason, no one ever buys it, but it's in every Barnes and Noble. I'm displaying no less. All right. Well, he goes into the strand and they buy it, but they still always have a sticker stuck to the cover with the discount price. I mean, I see it every time I'm walking past
