On this episode we watched we are your friends. We are your friends Dan. Thanks. Yeah me too. So sign over all your stuff to us. Oh okay all your stuff. Like a friend. Right?

Mm-hmm. There you go. Good funnily work. Are we done with this part yet? Hey everyone, welcome to the flop house. I'm Dan McCoy. Check out that energy on Dan McCoy up and running. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo. Thank you. You are. I am the co-host of this podcast, Stuart Wellington. And keeping it electric and on target. I'm Elliott Caleb. Oh man. Dan of DJ. Oh, okay.

All right. Yeah. I'm blowing at everybody. He's a electric. I'm on target. We're at DJT. I live primarily angles of music. I handle the dancing.

The snacks. Yeah, and the snacks are cool. I'm doing what we call it snack artist or a Snardist? So I got another butters. I got I don't know Zingers. Yeah Snacks, Zingers. Yeah, well, Zingers are great because they have less expense than I don't know like hostess brands snacks Which one which one is that is that like a

Twinkie? It's not a twinkie. It's not a twinkie with like a layer of frosting on it. How can you tell the twinkies upside down? Oh, it's Australian. Yeah, okay. It's pretty obvious, dude. I'm full of cranes, mate. Yep, and you're like, this next talk to me, I must have been doing some of those party drawings that we saw in this movie.

In this movie, damn, what are we doing in this podcast? What that we watched a movie about? We watched a bad movie and we'll talk about it. And then in this case, we watched a movie called We Are Your Friends. And I think in this episode, we're also going to be feeding a lot of black coffee and walking you up and down the apartment counteracted. Is that what you're talking about? Am I really that low energy?? I can't tell whether or not you're that a little sleepy.

Well, I am sleepy. I was out last night and I have some minor folds. At some kind of DJ rave. Yeah, I am. That makes sense. Did you go to social, the club that the heroes hang out on? Yeah, do you go to a club that the that our heroes. Hey, do you do you go to a club that is I'm assuming fictional because it appears that they work a That's right no, I hang out with our mutual friend Liz My impression of a listener board Come on movie monkeys talk about the movie. I just knew that Stuart would understand. Oh, I said, yeah, dude.

Hey, you know who wouldn't understand everyone who's not Stuart, who's listening to this right now, saying, I'm not interested. The thing is, LA with, with, you know, auditory experiences, you just kind of kind of reach out and find out what you're in person. Here's the one for this case, that's me. You able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able The relationships sound strange. It sounds like it. It's like it's me. So this was a movie, and I gotta be upfront about this,

dudes. My wife is friends slash, I guess, acquaintances with the director. Max Joseph is not on a relationship. Well, I don't know how close, like she says, Fred, but you know, sometimes when you hear a person who does something famous, you're like, oh, that You know sometimes when you hear like a person who does something famous You're like oh, that's my friend. You're like really friend and Facebook is downgraded what it means to be a friend

Yeah, I guess I mean because if because if here's what you would usually say We've met someone and had a pleasant interaction with some of your friend Yeah, but are you friendly enough with them that you'd say thank you for being a friend? Travel down the road back again. The hardest true, your pal, and a confidant. And if you threw a party, and this is the real test, invited everyone you knew. Everybody, what would I do then? Invite for this is a hypothetical situation, which you have theoretically just for this- I mean I know a lot of people with the way- Well, can Einstein really ride a light ray? No. He couldn't ride a beam of light. But for the thought experiments sake,

he would pretend he could. So for this thought experiment, you've invited everyone you know, even people who don't like. All the people I know are dancing on the head of a pin. Yeah, exactly. And it's a party where people give you gifts, right?

Exactly. So why are you inviting them to your own party? That seems kind of like you're stacking that like if you're like I'm throwing a party and I want people to give me gifts. I'm going to be the birthday Do you invite you? I mean usually birthday parties just happened for me So here's the point on you get if you through a party invited everyone You would see the biggest gift We from me

Bigger That's what we're talking about Both. Oh wow, so it's like a dime in the size of it. If anything it's too big it's too big to store It is a white elephant of a gift, but it's also very valuable. If you can find the right buyer, which is hard to do in today's market. But the card attached, yeah, would say the card attached to this huge gift, you might not even see the card for a while because the gift is so big. It would be like seeing one window on an enormous skyscraper. Like it just blends in with the background.

But eventually you would see the gift would be for me. And the card attached would say, thank you for being a friend. Anyway, that picture of Maxine on the front, looking real crazy. I'm like real Frankie. And should be saying something about, I don't know, Metap-paws or something like getting older So that's probably from so fee of

Judging by the choice of car it was She would have given one of those like I like a picture of a bunch of hunts. Yeah, Blanche would have been like I'd like one of those Spencer to give cardboards at naked man with arms behind his head And there's like a balloon in front of his crotch garage Yeah, it's like open up for a big balloon scene I need some fun like It's sausage and then we'll take sure of like a sausage. Yeah, hot dogs inside and Dirty of course, you would do some point it Dirty of course, we've just gotten she might have done you the vaccine card although she would have seen it and said

This hits too close to home to the back. She would have gotten you like just a card that says to name TPD from Dorothy and Rose doesn't even know what she's doing. She buys you fucking like groundhog day card if they sell those And you're like are you literate Rose? Maybe in St. Olaf's this is not many, but here in Florida we have standards for cards. So Dan the point is friendship. Yeah. This movie's all about it.

Uh-huh. But it's all about trash. It is kind of like... Well, we crossed some serious time with the opening guys, and... Yeah. So we are your friends, it's kind of like if someone's decided, I'm gonna make the grim greedy, realistic reboot of our garage. But not grim or gritty enough to be like kids

No, not like yeah, not like a grim in a sense of like Characters and not having a sense that Christian bail is there like in body suit armor Like going around and yeah, no, that's true. You thought that's also not part of this Can we like gone around and yeah no that's true he's also not part of this. What was that like can we trust him? West Bentley's in this movie not West Studi which I keep calling him. That'd be great if there are three like young white friends and then West Studi. This is a fourth guy. Yeah I mean it makes sense to me he's also with the Geronimo. He's with the mode. He's like, what is he doing?

He's like, deep rising. That's great. He played Magwell Bro, he's amazing. Seven of the range. Let's play with Terrorist, a Native American war leader. Let's have, you have me. No, I love him.

Let's start with Studio Glee. I just can see why you're having trouble with your biography of West Studio. You're working on, I don't even have done the full research. Stewart has a PhD in West studies. Yeah. West Studio studies. He for a time changed his name to West Stuart. Yeah. I did. Yeah. And then Stude Wellington. Then Stude Westington. Yeah. I was my mom. Baby art.

Lessington. Yeah, I was my mom's mother. No, I was his baby archman. I'm stewdty welding day. Okay, so we are your friends. It's about mainly Zac Efrona as Cole, who is a young loser. That's all of Cole. And he wants to be a diamond. That's the thing.

Yeah. He's the diamond in the rough in this call and boy is it rough. He lives in his friends' parent's pool house in exchange for doing chores around the house and he You just keep going he say cool house and then you start the next sense with house. I'm really just okay Sorry keep going sorry torch on their domicile What the problem was wow? It's copy editing here as you talk. But in a dumb way, like, okay. You need to use the single most accurate word

for both of these things. Why don't you need to do something else? Okay, he lives in the press. He lives in their nautical guest building. It exchange for doing chores around their bungalow. Okay. Okay, and I don't even know, I don't think it's a bungalow that it might be.

And he's living with his buddy who's like a like a boulder or sassy version in here. His buddy is the guy in all these movies who is the crazier wilder French to the main character. Man wilder. In another movie, he's like the Matthew Lillard to the Freddie Prince Jr. of this of a Zach Ephron in this movie. So Zach Ephron's Cole, he wants to go to the Ben Affleck to Cole's mat Damon. Yes, exactly.

But he's also a hothead. That's the thing. He's not just a goofy guy. He's the guy who's going to get in fights all the time. Yeah, I mean, that's the Ben Affleck to the Matt Damon. All right, Shirley. And also his friend is goes out with a series of Jennifer's. Okay, just like Ben Affleck.

Oh, that's any direct gone baby gone. Anyway, so that got me once. He didn't direct off it. Oh wait. Did. Anyway, I'm fine. So Zach I've been wanting to be- He didn't direct off it. Oh wait, man. I haven't did. That's anyway. Yeah, I am on fire. And this is about West Studeon, I'll go to you.

Yeah, West Studeon. Anything else don't worry about it. But Zach Efron wants to be a DJ. He, right now, is just barely a club promoter. He has two other friends, one whose name I can't remember, who is a drug dealer, where it's a hat, and looks kind of like a low rent Johnny Depp. And the other is named Squirrel,

and he's like the nerd of the group. And which means something terrible is gonna happen to him later, when he expresses his need to leave the group in some way. And so they're looking for the way to get rich quick mainly through the club scene. They're working as a promoter for this club social, as promoters.

They don't combine Voltron style into one amazing promoter. And the movie is somewhat narrated by Zach Efron explaining how things work in the valley in LA and how life is over there. And you got to stick with your buds and when it comes to electronic dance music, everything is about controlling the heart rate. And the movie does a lot of what like the big short did with like cutting to old footage from cartoons, old footage from medical educational shorts, you know, just a lot of text on the screen. I guess big short

is do a lot of text on the screen. If you like Sans Sarif, it's Sans Sarif text. If you like... No, Sans Sarif. Sans Sar Rev. If you like... No, Sansa Rev. Sansa Rev. If you like... The Game of Thrones character. Sansa Rev. Sansa Rev. If you like text, that's just very blocky on the screen in big letters.

If you're Wes Anderson. You don't like this movie. But what's Anderson doesn't use it in your face. Okay. Yeah, I mean, well, this is let me go on. I like yellow text. This was mostly white text.

Okay. Because he this movie is a racist. I mean, there are almost there are no speaking parts of color. I think the entire movie. There are background people that are black. But anyway, they, there are for some they are inseparable

even though they don't really seem to like each other that much. They just kind of bond over a partying and scheming. Yeah, their personalities are broadly sketched out in the opening scenes of them hitting on girls and convincing people to go to social the club. Where's they night? We're at West Bentley, a hugely famous DJ, it's going to be DJing. And West Bentley is kind of like an aspirational figure for Zach Efron. Yeah. He's a successful DJ.

He's famous. And- Kind of a big old house, a big old pool. Yeah. And he's got a cool guy here, a girlfriend. And tell us about his assistant girlfriend, Dan. She's got big, some things. Okay.

Well, she's famous. What's her name? Her name is Emily Radjikowski. Emily Raditui. Emily Radjikowski. And we're gonna meet you. Radjikowski. I don't know. It's what is it? Radjikowski. Radjikowski. Radjikowski. Radjikowski. She's a girl from Gone Girl and on

to Rage the movie where she plays herself. Now she, they have a meet cute wear at a club. They have a lock eyes, she and Zach have her own lock eyes across the floor. Allah West Side Story. But when she finds out that he's there because he's a club promoter, she is a party promotion team. She is not interested. Meanwhile, it's all, it's all is all up in some crazy club-related person. Yeah, I mean, the squirrel has a good night. It's cool. Yeah, he gets

essentially great. Yeah, he gets to tell him that. I don't kiss it. Tell him that. And they made a whole movie about it. Yeah, wait, what is called wear your friends? Yeah, I guess you're right. They, the guys decide, you know what we need to start making some money. So they get jobs working for Daredevil's The Punisher. Who runs a ski-v realistic company that basically swoops in and buys up for clothes to houses for pennies on the dollar. It takes a long time for these guys to realize they're involved in something shady. The fact that the guy when he hires them gives them a thousand dollars in cash and a speech in which he's constantly holding a baseball bat doesn't seem to tip

them off that this guy's not on the level. They've never seen any movie about people cold calling things or any like boiler room or a little walk for you. I mean, he even used the term cold calling. Yeah. So they must have seen one of those movies. Maybe we misheard it and he said, Cole calling because he's like, Yeah, we're doing Cole calling. Like, Cole will call.

Cole call customers. Like, yes, K-Man call. But Cole ends up becoming friends with this DJ for the West Bentley. And the West Bentley starts becoming kind of a mentor for him, even though his rowdy friends break up a party at West Bentley's house where Cole has been hired to DJ and shows to Emily Rajmnowski how to use his music to get a party started by literally reaching out with his sounds and controlling the heartbeats of the crowd. Circulatory system is, Huddy and his ample DJ dance. Here's why you want to see this movie, because you like watching footage of people bouncing

up and down to electronic dance music. There's a lot of that. There's one scene where he's on drugs and he hallucinates that everyone is turning into cartoons. Roboscopes. And... What does Roboscopes cartoons do? Do you think it's going to happen down to electronic dancers?

A reverse cool world. I guess that would be who frame Roger Rabbit. And that's like a good movie as opposed to cool world. I just met that. He was coming out of the world. Yeah, a reverse rotoscopy. Well, that is the third act of cool world. You have placed was coming out of the first. Yeah, would reverse rotoskin at the end of the year? Well, that is the third act of cool world. You replace car two with people?

Yeah, I think so, with people dressed as the cartoon characters. How do you know what that says? Which would be pretty fun like. It's like a Disney cartoon and Mickey, all Mickey's friends are being replaced by people in very cheap cars. Yeah, the movie Dick Tracy is super funny. Yeah. Yeah, the movie Dick Tracy is super funny

They he's attracted to Emily Regikowski even though she is Claimed by Westman and he sees Westman Lee always getting from the girls and so there's a night I'm gonna skip way ahead. Zach Efron keeps saying, you just need one track. You need one track to make it big. He has a track he's been working on, but it's terrible. It's just your average, garbage nonsense. It's like, it's not like everything else.

Yeah, I mean, we should probably come out and say this. I know everyone has listened to this podcast, and they're like, those guys probably know everything about EDM That means electronic dance music, but we don't we're not super familiar with it So it all sounds like the same Nintendo music to me. Yeah Now it's got the bleeps. It's got the bloops. It's the bloops. There's the bloops Thankfully the The other movie does the thing where they Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, That's a chase sequence from an A. A. A.

A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A.

A. A. uh... yeah there's a scene the movie where they kind of describe the different types of dance music they all kind of sound the same here's the thing you hear a lot of different and i'm gonna say right now just because i don't this is actually conversations do never have anything else before we watch the movie just because i don't personally like a former doesn't mean i don't appreciate that other people like it and there's a place just because i don't like it doesn't mean it's automatically terrible and shouldn't exist. That being said, especially for someone like me who listens to a lot of thrash metal, which to someone else's ear might all sound the same. Yep. All that music sounds the same to me. So like throughout the movie you're hearing different

electronic music songs and they're all basically the same. The structures are almost I didn't nearly identical it seems like, and the differences are just kind of like which bleeps and bloops get thrown in. I'm sure it's not like a super old man talking about it, but it's like they do a very poor job in the movie of making me feel the excitement of what that music brings to him. I know they're trying. This is a movie that is, I don't know, weird way, extremely sincere. It wants to make you feel. Like, it's not entourage,

which is about letting you in a habit of a world for 90 minutes where if you are a white straight dude, all your dreams will come true because you're super rich and women want to fall with your mouths on your dicks. You're traveled to Valhalla, enjoy it for 90 minutes. Like, this is, you know what?

We're gonna bring you inside this guy's world. And the movie I get thinking of was breaking away. We're like, I don't care about bike riding. But I really understood that guy's need for bike riding. But this, I like it just never quite connected to me. But Dan, you were gonna say, I kept it in mind. No, I do think that the movie does a pretty good job of whether or not you like the music.

I think that it did a good job of whether or not you like the music. I think that it did a good job of showing that his original song wasn't that good. That's true. Like that was an inspired version of the type of music you wanted to make. I will say the song he plays at the end, Swoylor, he plays the song at the end, is much is much better than the one he plays at the beginning. Yeah. But it still sounds essentially like all the other music we've been hearing. So he goes on his traditional hero's journey, but it's on two forking paths. One of those works is him and Westie Lee just making music, bro.

Westie Lee. Oh, sorry. Westie Lee, who's like always drunk. Westie Lee is. This movie takes a hard line. You shouldn't drink, stance. Here's one of the things, yeah, well that's the thing, it's one of those movies that is about how you gotta find

your place in this club scene with this music that makes people just wanna fucking dance and lose control, but drinking's bad, drugs is bad, staying in school, everybody, come on, work hard. Like that's, which is a lesson I can totally get behind, but it feels like a cop out to me when the movie about a guy who's dream is to be a DJ, that the movie's lesson is,

hey man, stay clean and stay in school. So we have that. Let's wrap about the real issues you teens are facing. And that we all want to be Hulk and Maniacs. Eat your vegetables. So wait, Hulk and Maniacs don't do drugs? They, well. So how do they get so super ripped instead? Hulk doesn't want his Hulk and Maniacs to do drugs? They, well. So how do they get so super ripped and stuff?

Hulk doesn't want his Hulk and maniacs to do drugs because they'll get as strong as him. Oh. They'll be able to challenge him for the title of Hulk. That's a title? Is it? I thought it was passed down for Father to Son. Like a title would be. Yeah.

But wait, so if they challenge him in a minute, if they challenge him, you can just become the Hulk. Any crown is up for grabs by the laws of force. Okay, so he wants to keep it in this family. Exactly. Okay, that makes sense. But let's say Dan decides to ro it up, becomes a super-hulking maniac.

Okay, go to Hulk Hogan's house. Sure. And he, hey, you know what? My pythons are bigger than your pythons. Do you hear what Dan McCoy is cooking? That's a different guy. That's a different guy. And also, hearing is not the sense he used for cooking.

No, I just, I do that. I just do that like waving around the year. Yeah, to get the audience to work. But there's no audience because he's broken into his house late at night. You are a trespasser at this point. And you just go into his room, not he's sleeping. You're like, I'll put you in a real sleeper hold and you just shoot him in the head. He says, Hey, two brothers. You didn't even need to roll it up. You just and people go like, Oh, he discovered the Hulkster's weakness, which is that he's a mortal. And you say,

yeah, I'm the Hulk on the Hulk now so you're all my Hulk of maniacs have fun with your family and friends which is in the Hulk of maniacs song and Dan next thing you know gockers putting your sex tape up online and you're making big bucks suing them over it oh wow I gotta get on this I gotta make a sex tape that's that's why that's like step 17 in a first plan Dan first you to start avoiding like crazy Just get on the road. I should really have that sex take bank though I'm right it up. I mean you're gonna want it to be you right it up so that people know it's you

I'm like this scrawny guy who has dance head and now here's the thing you want to avoid the noise because he ruined steroids Okay and pizzas so West Bentley despite being a success is a drunk. Yeah, so the guy who runs the real estate office, despite being a financial success is very much a Sliny guy. These are examples of what Zach Efron fears he will become should he make the wrong choices. Meanwhile, he's attracted to what's your name? She... There's a mutual attraction.

At a big electronic music expo, let's call it concert in Las Vegas. Las Vegas. They meet up, do draws, and have a wild night of running around like they're the fucking band of outsiders. All that tension builds to a climax, and then they totally make out all over Las Vegas. And then they do it.

They do it, but they seem to get less joy out of doing it than they do out of the pancakes and cheeseburger. I mean, that's not that unrealistic to certain types of doing it. That's true. Now, here's the thing. Have you guys ever been on a date that consisted mainly of you running while holding hands with the girl just smiling and laughing her head off? I've had some great dates.

My wife and I, when we were first dating into this day, we continue with great dates. And our first dates were magical. We never had a date where we were just running down the streets of the city, holding each other's hands laughing. Yeah, the only time that there was any running and possible laughing, although I can't remember,

was when I had a date like, and we like, it started really raining. Okay. So I had to run, does that count? Sure, and that's a movie scene. I feel like you have to practice that a little bit because especially if it's the first date, you're not gonna have your pace right, and it's just gonna be super awkward.

You might, somebody might slip. And it's hard to laugh and run the same time. That's all about breath control. No, I'm not practicing. Dan, I assume your date you guys were laughing and you ran into a doorway and you kind of like let put your collar up on your coat and then moved your coat around her shoulders to keep her dry and then you started making out cut to your pancakes and a fancy

hotel. That's right. pancakes. Yeah, so they we get to see two people who never eat pancakes or hamburgers eat those two things. So I got a weird thrill out of it. There's everyone. That's your sexual thing. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't have this. Yeah, I guess it is. Yeah, Stuart has a weird finish about people who are so in shape that they clearly don't eat what they want, just losing control and and picking out. Yeah, exactly. So that scene or West, we're West Bentley and Zach got from reading cake with their hands. I was going crazy. You didn't see me?

Didn't you see what I was doing? I was nuts. I'm glad I didn't see. So he sleeps with his mentors, Girlfriend Slash Assistant. That's not going to be good. And his mentor finds out and gets mad and they have a fight in a strip club bathroom. His mentors drunk anyway. His friends meanwhile, he's kind of drifting away from a little bit. And so he has, and he has lunch with his buddies and squirrel says to him, hey, I'm looking for new jobs.

Are we ever going to be better than this? Are we ever going to be better than this? Meaning we've reached Rot Bottom. They really haven't. Things are pretty fine. And when West Valley reaches Rot Bottom, when West Valley reaches Rot Bottom, it's because he's drunk and eating a cake with his hands. But he's not even on the floor. Like David Hasselhoff, he's standing upright like a human, like a homo erectile. He is. Heron Beard, look amazing. He doesn't even get the cake on his clothes.

No. But he just doesn't wash a fork. Yeah, I mean, how do you guys eat cake? I get a fork. Fucking bear pulse. I blended up in a blender and I just, you know, I suck it out with a straw. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, but your jaws are wired shut. Yeah, that seems the accident.

Where I have attacks jaws, Richard Keel. That's the irony of it. You bit Richard Keel and he was like, this guy's a maniac. Why are that thing shut? Yeah, you know. Well, this guy's not from the police. To his dentist. Yeah. Because you bit him while he was in the dentist chair. That's how you got the drop on him. We had a good Nova Canaan and I wanted to get some of that.

So like a drug addict in vampires? That's right. It's second it out. At this point, things are a rougher here. He doesn't know where to turn. He is both friend who is the volatile one. Mason, yeah. He says, hey guys, I rented a house for us all to live in. Guess what, we're all going to live together and it's got a huge pool.

Let's throw a big party. Of course. Amazing party. Huge parties. Music. Everything's amazing. They're having sex with girls, girls are playing chicken in the pool, topless. A chicken was probably there in real life. That's how crazy it was. Like a John Waters movie. And they wake up the next morning, they've all fallen asleep

on the floor, the living room. Wait, wait, wait, Elliot. So the end of that party, we're left with just our four heroes, our four favorite dudes. They're like chillin' by the pool. They're chillin' by the pool. The three Musketeers plus Dutangin'. And these five guys are the four Musketeers. So Cal, chill out, laid back homies. Do a little bit of acapella Santoria by my favorite band sublime and you like oh my god that's fucking for sure sample of sublime said in a lot of people if I were a rich man you know like a

card of a flabby they all spread out on a which one is that? Is that the one that's like, I really want to know. Yeah, that's the one they're saying. Yeah. Now, so, and this is the moment where I didn't this, I didn't love these characters. I never hated them as much as I hated the characters and say that awkward moment because these characters were genuinely losers who thought they were living in heaven. But the movie knows that they're losers. But when that moment when they're all sitting at that pool singing sublime, I would not have

minded if LA was nuked at that moment. I don't care what collateral damage is this right? How many friends would have seen? It just cut to Linda Hamilton, turn it into bonds. It's only one point right up, so I don't play around. It's just turning it to both. Yeah, it's like one step removed from them being like, we're gonna live forever! Yeah. Because of course the next scene features four or three of our company of rascals waking up and our

fourth one totally dead like the lead singer from sublime. Oh, yeah. I think that's why they did it. Yes. Yeah. Of course, that's why they did that. I don't think it was a clue for those ones. Yeah.

So the company stops at that point. And somebody comes out and they're like, all right, you have all the clues to put together. We're going to have to. What's going to happen next? Let's run it down. Squirrel was never the strongest member of the group to begin with. At A, B, he has revealed to Cole his desire for a better life and to leave the group. Make me a precious. You're

on some too short to box with God's world. Don't fly too close to the sun. See, sublime. Why do we remember about the band sublime? No, sir. But Stanley isn't it in this? I hope you'll believe us. As you may remember remember from Ish 62 of We Are Your Friends. So of course they wake up squirrel. It does not wake up. Go like, hey squirrel, what's going on, dude? And of course, get up and chase him nuts. So yeah.

Squirrel, you need it for their next ice age promo. So they shake him, nope, he's like a gray squirrel sickle. And squirrel sickle? Yeah, because he's promo. So they shake him. Now he's like gray squirrels. A gold. A squirrels a call. Yeah, because he's cold. I guess. No, he's like, yeah, he's not. He's not. He's not cold.

I thought it was like the wrongly show. Sucical. It's a musical feature again, dead squirrel. When I went to the reveal, he's running slightly better than Susan Cole. This is a lot of smoke came on this.

This show is nuts. Raves, Dan McCoy. The flamb has seen a review. It's, you know, it's a, yeah, it's a musical story at that school. It's like that's with Army Man movie. Dan's talking about a movie that hasn't been widely released. All right. I don't know. That's the Daniel Reg with farting corpse movie. Dan's talking about a movie that hasn't been widely released yet. All right. I don't know. That's the Daniel Rank with farting corpse movie.

Brother Ghost here. Binks and valleys. Speaking of peaks and valleys, Cole's really experienced a lot. And he's decided that this is like a rock bottom moment. Oh, and he also he's gone on a house call with his boss to a woman who has had her house for close-knit has a young son, she's a single mother, and has watched his boss tell her, here's what you know what maybe he sees a little bit of himself in this young son character. Maybe yeah. He said, you know what, our company is in theory helps you negotiate with the bank. We weren't able to do that. We'll tell you what I want to do. You sign the deed of your house over to our company. I'll give you $20,000 for it. She says,

this house is worth $300,000. It goes, that number, that's just numbers. It doesn't matter. It's not real. Here's $20,000. What is money? Oh, it's just something we agree has value But really what has value, huh? Here's the thing man am I crazy and everyone else is saying or am I the one same man? Everyone else is crazy when you say blue and I say blue How can we ever know we're seeing the same thing? I'm like are we just all brains and jars being fed stimuli from the outside?

There's no way of knowing. I mean, here's the thing. Just sign right here, please, thank you. And they walk out and within a year shot of the house, which I assume is sentient. Uh, he says, like, this is great. I'm going to sell this house for $500,000, $600,000. And coal is outraged.

He's not happy about it. So anyway, he's been disillusioned not so many fronts by his artistic hero, by his business hero, and now fast forward after the party of a lifetime, even parting has let him down by killing one of his friends. So there's nothing for him to do but to give up the life, I guess, by which I mean work harder at being a DJ. And he's out jogging. Because all he has left to him is to maintain that sweet, sweet body of his.

Yeah, because he's jogging. So it's the only time we ever seem extra sized, which leads you to assume that he's jogging so hard that it affects his abs and his pecs as well. It's his upper body. I mean, he's a huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge pepper body. I mean, he's a huge, he's just an adult. It's called a peck jogging. A paja, you're like, a paja. It's weird because there's an event event event to pugs, but that's a coincidence. The two are not related, otherwise. Zach Efron, not, I don't think he's an amazing actor. It's not terrible, but he is, has maybe the most perfect body that a man has ever had. In many ways.

He's not so ripped that he looks like a monster. Like a whole coven or a dame of coven of the future. Yeah. And yet he's, but he's like, they're just very well designed, you know. He's like, yeah, he's built for speed. So I'll give him that. You know what, Zach, I'll give you this. You're very handsome. You take good care of yourself. So take that compliment put in the compliment bank Okay, it's probably already overflowing because yeah, we're great I guess whenever you're feeling out bad take it out and take a look at it You know Zach if you're ever taking a spin if you ever rolling around and money with

Having sex with the gender of your choice. I don't care which it is. And you're feeling a little low down, just play that compliment. And maybe you know what, take some of that money by an age or a K to finish your name. Cause right now you're just building a ZAC, that's not a full name. I mean, Zach is short for Zachary, or maybe it's just the name Zach.

Maybe right now your name is just one letter short at least a full name. I'm a full name. least. When he when he's not such a great body, he feels insecure about his lacking name. His name is too short. Maybe. He's a bit of a body to compensate. Good be it. That's why it's a tiny name. That's why it's that guy again doesn't have to be ripped all the time. He has the comfort, but known to you. He's a full man's name. That's right. I mean, but he is in great shape and he's always chasing gizmo all over the place.

Yeah, that's the work out of you, fucking markets after Grimlin's too. Get him, mon-lye. Let it loose one after that. He's gonna be like, feed it after midnight. Yeah, fucking you. Somebody's gonna say, don't do that. But if you want, if you want awesome pecs.

If you want, if you want this body, feed it after midnight, get that shit wet. If you want more of a fly like crazy. Yeah, yeah, if you want, if you want to spend time with my friend Austin Pecs. It's my workout buddy. It's the exact opposite. Yeah.

You want to land yourself a real babe like Phoebe Cates. Hear all her stories about how every holiday has bad memories attached to it. You're going to need to look good. And looking good means feeling bad because you've unleashed grandma's on your town. But that's just the trade-off. That's just the trade-off. Let's talk to one satisfied customer. My name's Daniel Clamp and I am a millionaire played by John Glover. You know what, you build a place for things, things, and then you can chase those things to get ripped. Thanks, Zach.

Thank you, Daniel, played by John. I'm glad you're here. Thank you. It's a great medical virtual. So, Michael levels. Let's just fast forward to that. He makes up with Les Bentley, was Bentley goes, Hey, I asked you to open for me at Summer Fest, which is that a real thing, damn?

You're pretty tapped into the EDM world. Yeah, I don't, there's gotta be something called Summer Fest, because it's the most bland name in the world. Uh, he goes, you can still open. So, you might as well be called Music Fest. Yeah, when's, uh, when Summer Fest again? Uh, probably winter. Okay. Uh, it's, well, he was, he's when summer fest again? Probably winter. It's what he was supposed to have at Mark's summers. So he was jogging. He's jogging. He's jogging. And earlier, West Bentley

had sent to him. You're just using the same electronic sounds everybody else is using. You got to use real sounds, real music. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stop doing this game boys. And they record a track together as kind of a teaching by doing thing that involves Emily and Rush Mnowski saying some lines to the microphone that include the line, I think, Synchronicity is electricity, which is hilarious. He is Zagga Frums jogging and his phone dies. Suddenly, he can't listen to his tunes Frum's jogging and his phone dies.

Suddenly he can't listen to his tunes, but it's jogging. Oh man, I guess I'll just push through this wall and just jog without my headphones. Suddenly his ears are open to the world around him. And this is a moment where I'm going to talk about the theater in a second. But he hears a wind chime, he hears the buzz of electric wires, all that stuff and inspires him to make a song of it. And which is a real artistic awakening. And I want to make fun of this scene more because it's cheesy.

Yeah. The same time it rains true to me as an artistic statement that like if you want to be an artist who have to engage with the world and not just with other works of art, and it reminds me of a much better version of the idea of noticing the world around you. There was a production of our town in New York a few years ago that David Krohn were directed where you know if you guys are familiar with our town there's no sets and no costumes. At the end of the play when the characters comes back from the afterlife to experience life and the whole point is that

there are all these things in life you don't notice until it's too late in your dead. While you're alive you're too caught up in the moment you don't notice it and so to represent that for the first time in the whole play. There's a real set there's real costumes and one of the characters is actually cooking bacon on set and you smell it and it was like like this amazing thing. Like suddenly the audience is noticing things they didn't notice because it didn't exist before. This is like that. And I want to. Oh, we're back to talking about that. Yeah, no, I don't think.

It's not a great representation of that, but like the meaning of it got to me enough. That I was like, okay, I see what you're doing here, Lily. So this is one of the, I mean, I think there's one of the many components of the movie that is, I mean, you mentioned before that it feels kind of honest and earnest. Yeah. But it's like earnest goes to a rate.

Exactly. I'll take these drugs, Vern. I just want to touch everything, Vern. No, let me just add earnest to the list of words I'm not a loveist. I'm not a loveist. It's a long list. But it's an Ernest, it's a sincere movie. For all this flash. And for the fact that it is super by the numbers and it is, and the fact that it has

like the most cliched like, pair of heroes journeys where he's both like, oh I'm learning a little bit about a DJ so I have that very obvious telegraph story and he's like, but also man the housing crash let's talk about that a little bit. And also there's this girl, oh she's got our issues too, but we really hit it off you know, we connect. So it's so all like they're and but I mean despite that there are things that are worthwhile like I think some of the directorial choices are kind of interesting. I don't mean to be jumping into final judgments here, but the finish the movie. I got from plays a song at Summer Festival. The audience loves it. Uh-huh. And he used

samples his friend Squirrel saying, oh, we ever going to be better than this. And he yells, oh, we're going to be better than this. And he yells, oh, we're gonna be better than this? And they all just like, yeah! And he's turned this plea-pathetic plea-me-for-out-of-despair forehope into a statement of, this is the best it's ever gonna get, let's celebrate, you know. Yeah, they didn't even get it. Like they didn't even realize to double-lead it.

Well, he used art to transmute pain into joy. Yeah, the last time I saw a movie that did that movie joy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. That's a real mess, son. The last time I saw a movie do that with a song was probably the end of Bill and Ted's Bogey's journey, where they come back from the future and play Kiss' God Giver. I could roll the U. Sure. Yeah.

Oh, that's the emotional climax that I was expecting. I don't have to vote for steering, thank you. So you think it's more sincere. Let's final judgments. Final judgments, do do do do. So I'm bad for we bad for you. There's some like, for a movie about like, for kind of douchey bros hanging out.

We're not interested. They're not, they're less douchey than say, the entourage guys. I don't mean to like, I guess that's damning the thing But I West douchey the mantra is raves Of the back-handed gazette No, but I agree like these are guys that by all rights

I should have hated for moment one and I really only hate them when they're seeing sublime and it's because I don't like sublime They're they like there's a they're not it's by the numbers and the characters are like, this is the hero, here's the hot head, here's the cool guy, here's the nerd, but there's a greater sense of groundedness to them. Like, here's West duty immediately, he's drunk, so you know that guy, that's gonna be that guy's like heroic flaw. Yeah, he's a brilliant DJ But he's a drinker and at one point he's like you're young. You don't know what I'm carrying around Never hinted at I don't know if that's a good choice or not. It lets me fill it in

I assume West Bentley was a veteran But probably he's just like some asshole. I don't know you know I like yeah, well they want to leave stuff open for the the sequel I don't know. You know, I like that. Well, they want to leave stuff open for the the sequel. But and there's something like I'm torn in that I should hate these characters, but I don't. I shouldn't like how like flashing in your face the movie is, but it even though it never quite worked. At least that makes it move fast. Yeah, and I I'm glad that the director was trying for something and at the end also it feels weird that a movie about young people and the importance of partying would end being like, hey, stay sober and study. But that's like, I don't know why I'm mad at that since that's a message I would much rather the movie be presenting. You know, I guess they did a similar thing in Transpawning, but they did it better. So it doesn't feel like a cop-out or a sell-out at the end.

You mean like the idea of like, you know, don't pursue immediate pleasure, look for like, you know, work toward long-term goals? Yeah, basically, yeah. Yeah, well, obviously, at transphotics, but I'm not sure. I mean, transphotics are much better movie, but that's the other thing.

I also transphotting, like, got me to understand why you would do heroin, and also why it's a bad idea to do heroin. This movie's still never got across to me why electronic dance music is worth a lot. Well, it's funny that there's even a scene where West Doody's touch to him, and he's explaining how- Someone missed the explanation

that's West Bentley, and they're like, it's weird that they cast West Doody in this role. Not that West Bentley is that much more natural for it? And he's explaining to Zach Efron, how Zach Efron's like, track that he's working on, it's just a collection of him imitating other artists. And that's what this movie kind of feels like is a collection of imitations of other directors.

Yeah, that's a good point. He's using traditional, using like a traditional story structure. So it felt weirdly off the nose. Yeah, that's a good, actually. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Someone who's absorbed a lot of Aaronovsky and like, a little bit of Richard Lake Letter and so forth.

So these final judgments are very judgey me. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I don't know if all the characters, it's not a good bad movie. It's not bad, bad, but I didn't like it. I guess you know what? I don't like it, but that's the Ketter who would follow more than I... Damn it, I don't like you, but I respect you.

Yeah. I'm not a good movie, but I don't hate you. I kind of like this movie. I just barely did, but I did, and that's why I feel like I've had a shitty podcast tonight because I don't have a lot to say and make fun of it because like I mean let's not forget also you got a cold and you're tired and no one likes you. Wait, why? And forget I said that last part. But don't really.

Yeah, I think the cold is more to do with it, but yeah, I enjoyed this movie, a surprising amount, even though I don't typically like a movie about four douchebags in LA trying to make their way as DJs. I think if the movie knows these guys are douchebags, it makes all the difference. On for us, things those guys are the greatest, most fun guys in the world. This movie knows that these are a bunch of low-rent douchebags who need to get their shit together. And like, I'd rather, if one of the things I don't like about movies, I said at the beginning of it, like, say it like, right off the bat, I like these guys more than the heroes in like, knocked up or something, because they're already trying for someone. Yeah, they have goals, even if they're dumb goals, and they're like a bunch of morons.

It's like, at least they're actively trying to do a thing, and they're hustling for success, as opposed to like, hey man, we love, even their parties are more ambitious than like the parties I see in other movies. Yeah, and I mean, there was nudity and like, in general, nobody wore that many clothes. That's true. If you're a woman in this movie,

you're not wearing a lot of clothes. What do you do? There's not that many clothes. There's a point where the main female lead, whose last name I keep mangling, she's wearing a Luz Low Cut shirt, and she's dancing, and in slow-mo, and there's just a close up of her boobs

while she's dancing in slow-mo. I think just a close up of her boobs while she's dancing slow mo I think it's supposed to be the only at her heart. Yeah, it's like this is an entrapment movie. I know that's where I was looking before but come on. Let's this is not fair. Yeah, that's the funny games moment of the movie. Does this entertain you, Elliot? I got psychrplugged. Does this entertain you, Elliot? I got psyched up. I got psyched up. All right. I guess it's hard to say it's a bad, bad movie.

It's not a great movie, but I don't hate it. I'm going to say this movie wasn't really for me, but I appreciated something about it. Going into it, I thought my expectations were so low. Going into it. And it's also a movie that did so poorly in the box office that like there is that initial desire to be like, let's take, you know, giant craps on this movie from orbit. Yeah, but it's not like a hidden gem

that I think needs to be uncovered. It's just like is what it is, you know, it is what it is to be. Yeah. It is what it is, you know, it is what it is. It is what it is, you know. It is what it is, you know. It is what it is, you know. It is what it is, you know. It is what it is, you know. It is what it is, you know. It is what it is, you know.

It is what it is, you know. It is what it is, you know. It is what it is, you know. It is what it is, you know. It is what it is, you know. It is what it is. Hello, Brent. Travis.

And you're a very comfortable gentleman and I think that's all coming from right out of those pants. I mean the fact that I a very sweaty person am comfortable and sent free. It does feel covered in a fine layer of

Wolverine style hair. We need to get into that as true as it is. And fine is not like the way we're forcing. Of course, of course, really. Of course, in Burleigh. A brush. Like a thick, thorn, puff of berry bush. But since I'm wearing my Mac Weldon's, I don't have anything to worry about. They're super comfortable.

Yeah give it a good one. I know it works in Macwell and in

Square space. Now here's the one thing I want to do in Macwell and the one minor flaw. It prints on the waistband of the underpants. It says for daily wear or for daily use. I know how often I should wear underwear. Okay, so you think it's patronized? I don't need to tell me that, Mac Weldon. But otherwise, wonderful product. So when you put it on, just close your eyes so you don't see that patronizing slogan. And you'll just enjoy it all day.

Yeah, and so you don't scare yourself by looking at your own lawyer. Is that a scary thing? Sometimes. What's this alien doing down here? What's it up to? What's it up to? What's it up to? Like it's plotting something?

Yeah, you know, things got a mind of its own. That's actually a foul. You know what I'm talking about? Oh, fuck off the edge of it. Get it? Yeah, I do. Do you have any other messages or other things? That's all we have for sponsors this week. Did you have any other messages or answers?

That's all we have for sponsors this week. Well those are the two solid sponsors. I like them both. So what's the next part of this podcast, Dan? I'm not wearing square space on my butt right now, but if I was it would be really good. The next part, well done, it's great, but that's what I'm doing with it.

The next part is letters, although I moved a bunch of letters into, oh here they are. So you want some maimp for a minute? I couldn't find the first second. No, no. I have them on my phone and I couldn't find them. You don't have to beat me, Michael. You just have to keep up.

Yes. So this first letter is from David last name with help. Is it my brother? Is it my brother? It's not your brother. Or is it David from Lawsboys? The character I was just doing. Good, mate.

He writes, and the years I've listened to the podcast, I always incorrectly presumed the right to film that Dan and Elliott deemed as the archetype of a bad film was, I love trouble with Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts. I mean, trouble was in the title. It was a bad 90s film. I had a start and marquey actors of the era. I had no idea that nothing but Trouble

was the film they're talking about. But, curiously, I'd seen this film, and it has literally permeated my nightmares for decades. To this day, I will occasionally have nightmares with this film's house to the setting. I watched this film when I was 11 or 12, an extremely sick, high fever, puking, et cetera, for years after...

Probably actually the most pleasant way to watch the movie, because yeah, constant distractions for the movie. For the years after the house of this film, the junkyard, the pre-be tenants, yes, including the twins, the basement below the courthouse, the bone stripper, have all shown up in various nightmares I've had. Until the 200th bypass, I had assumed it was merely an amoutlamation of my worst fears. Death traps monstrous small-time humanoid, dank crawl spaces, and it has been central to a small portion of my scarier darker dreams.

I've actually had waking rational thoughts to determine whether this is a film or TV show I saw but forgot, because the foundation of it was massive enough to support the creation of a whole sinister dreamscape each time I come to the conclusion that I would have some real world artifacts reference of something like this existed. I've never seen anything online or in the real world to prove that this is a real piece of media and the 25 plus years since the films were released on VHS. I find that very hard to believe. I don't know about that. You know, we're going to like, a Spencer's Gifts and see the posters and the greeting cards and the little t-shirts.

We live in a universe now where all you have to do is type in the title of a thing into your magic information finding box and it'll connect you to it. Yeah, but he say, he- A little to be fair. There's a kid's book I remember from when I was a kid that was in the library called

mutants it was really scary looking and i've yet to find it uh... so before we cut off that letter what else is uh... that's not much else i wow i apologize and we should have that letter down no i'm i wanted to read that letter because it was representative of a larger type of letter that was larger group of letters.

We got, which was a whole slew of people saying that they had thought that this was a fever dream that they had. And they could leave their names ahead. And we help people exercise those demons, I hope. That's right. Yeah. It's funny that you remember the name of the creepy book

you saw. I remember as a kid, I remember going into my parents' bedroom where they were watching The Shining. And it was just the scene with the two twin girls that I'm playing with us. And I didn't know what that was for years, but I was fucking terrified of it. And then I were obviously so shining at some point. And I was like, what a terrible adaptation of the book!

Stephen King was right! Because many series is so much better! Yep, this is about the moon landing! We're Native Americans! That's similar, there's a Julie Tamor movie called Foolsfire, that I had a similar experience with where I stumbled upon it on PBS and it was so weird that I couldn't, I was like, I can't watch this whole thing and for a long time I couldn't find what it was.

And now I know it was basically an adaptation of Hop Frog. But I didn't know who Julie Tamer was. Lion King had yet to hit Broadway. She had yet to revitalize Lion King and destroy Spider-Man. I remember watching that as a kid too. I had no idea that it was a Julie Tamer thing. I told you, I think, told me later. I had always sort of conflated in my mind with the Jim Henson's Storyteller series. It looks very much like it looks like a crazier version of that. Yeah. So I guess we're recommending Hopprog, the adaptation of the same. The two solid adaptations in Fool's

Fire and the Mask of the Red Death, the Roger Orman version. So it doesn't count as my recommendation for today. I have another one. Yeah, it's okay. This next letter is from Benjamin last name with held. I don't know my major time for Club people. I'm a film archivist during the summer and during a summer job that had me cataloging over 735 millimeter trailers. I came across one for 40 days, 40 nights. Wait, the 735 millimeter trailer? That's enormous.

That's right. Stewart will be very disappointed to know that yes, this trailer is now being preserved in a temperature and humidity controlled vault. Burn that at University Name withheld. Let's get on to thinking. What indefensively bad movies would you like to see preserved for future generations Benjamin last name withheld. Yeah, I like to see all movies preserved because you never know what's gonna be rediscovered or a new context in the future I'd rather air on the side of preserving all the junk than risk losing any of the good stuff. I guess that's fair air on the side of preserving all the junk, then risk losing any of the good stuff. I guess that's fair.

You know, because today's truck trash is tomorrow's treasure. Is the name of my antique store. It's a real mouthful of a name. It's not a successful store. I don't know. I still don't think 40 days and 40 nights should be preserved because it's garbage. It should be scoured from the earth. And then the earth salted.

Really the whole earth? Yes. It's delicious. It's like living on a big pretzel. Yeah. Well, that said, McGregorly, I'm assuming the trailer doesn't feature the weird rap scene at the end of the movie Probably not But when when you choose Rose petals. Oh, yeah, that's a or I'm sure it focuses on the comedy stylings of Shannon Sausomon and Palo Castanzo

So damn what bad movie would you like preserved? Let's say a heart ticket to Hawaii. I thought it would be a Sideris film. Yeah, it would be great. I was going to say one of the Adi Sideris movies, right? He's a true author. He has things that he likes. He likes big guns and he likes big... The zooms on...

I saw for a moment, Dan. It was about to say boobs and was looking for, I guess, what a classier. I was going to say something that was looking for, I guess, what a classier. And I could see it. I was going for something that would upset people here more. I could see almost like the wheel of fortune. This wheel is going with different words for boobs on it. And that reached the buzzer.

I mean, they're all how are a little. There's no good word for boobs on the breasts. Oh, breasts. They're the same other than breasts. And yeah, flapjacks is... No, stop right there. How do you know this there. Stop it. We're not going there. If I could shake them a bottle of change like your dog barking, I'm trying to get to stop. I would do that right now. It's great you with a water bottle like a cat on a couch.

I would say, Brunamic. Oh yeah, yeah. If only so I can watch it in the future and relive the night I attended its New York premiere. And what celebrities did you see at that premiere? The Stars of Brunamic. And no one else. Ah! The Male Star was... I saw Ethan Hawke on stage.

Well, I thought so many times. No, no, I did it. The Male Star was so stoked. And the female star realized why everyone was there, and they all said something before the movie, and she said, just enjoy it for what it is, okay? And it made me sad for all of it. Like, one of the people here understands that we're here to make fun of it. Yeah.

Stuart, you mean what I'm saying? I don't know. It's tough. Maybe something like, like, Rickeyio's story of Rikki, which is clearly a goofy movie, but it is. No, no, a goofy movie is about goofy connecting with his son. It does not involve something strangled by their own intestines. Wait a minute.

If your nephews are like, can we rent a goofy movie? A movie of a city? Yeah, of course, Rikio. I opened up the Rikio box and it was a movie full of the character Goofy doing stuff with I guess his family. I'm not in the close of it. He's a single dad of the sun. I don't know.

But yeah, I think you may have gotten the videos swapped. Yeah. Um, the video swapped. So there's a, there's a letter here from, uh, from Daniel last name with hell that's too long to go through entirely Read us some excerpts. Well, it makes a good case for the fact that the Valkyrie is actually in Pennsylvania And not in New Jersey. Okay. I don't know why they drove to Pennsylvania to get from New York City There's an establishing shot that's not up the Golden Dome New Jersey capital but the green copper clad Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Capitol

They The turn bike travels close to the Pennsylvania border. I mean it explains the mines. Yeah, exactly Pennsylvania is cold country. Have you chases character states that they're the Jersey Vaniac triangle is the judge reversed to the commonwealth. I wonder if the Daniel the author of this letter is from New Jersey and is trying to distance his state. I wonder if this is one Daniel Acroid. We have a little bit of insight knowledge about the conception of the film. If I'm right just send some crystal skull,, good in my house. Can't be Roger, actually.

Crystal has that guy's been murdered. Oh, round of all the suspects. Get the red herringes in here. That's a band. Yeah. They don't know where they actually don't play the instrument. Well, zoom in through the music. You really read that letter. Sorry. Skintillating. This is stimulating audio. So this is a long letter if you can scroll in all this time

Yeah, the last letters from Jasmine last name with held who writes do original peaches as I've been listening to your extensive archive of Episodes I've noticed something about many of the letters you received from your male fans sure They're players their peers to be a plethora of men who have wives or female partners or not fan of you three bozos. Yeah, I've married to him. My wife is not a fan of us three bozos. Whether it's because they're skewed at by your purveying clinicians or simply cold-hearted monsters, the type of nagging wife stereotypes that Kevin James constantly finds himself married to. I would say nag good. I would say there can be a disagreement over taste between spouses. I'm not sure.

Obviously, this is not wholly representative of your fan base as your looks alone receive plenty of attention from the lady boat. Well, well, well, however, slipping in a little compliment. Yeah. Thank you, Jasmine. I can't remember a letter that you wrote on air where it's a lady writing that her male partner was not immediately taken with your charms. But it's taking a gender equality.

Allow me to remedy this oversight for you. When I first became enamored with your podcast, I wanted to talk about it constantly with anyone who would listen. Specifically, I shared my enthusiasm, tidating in with my fiance. When I finally got into a listen to an episode with me, I believe it was- But just to assume his name is Dirk. I believe it was the Robloocop episode. Expectations were set exceedingly high. As we listened, I became troubled by the fact that I was laughing repeatedly,

while I was laughing with more spray. It didn't begin saying multiple times during your witty back and forth relating to words that sound like other words. Okay, guys, we did it. Let's move on. I have my cast work. We can't hear you. We're going to get to the little one and do. Growing in patience that you decided to continue with your canches instead of say continue to describe the plot in a linear fashion. Come on let's keep going.

You're running the joke into the ground you would say. It's my shock I'm just going to. I mean he's got a number we do that. When Elliot starts to say, I guess. When Elliot starts saying he's letter song, he grown louder than I've ever heard Stuart Dan grone, referring to me in physical pain, verbally saying, stop multiple times. After it was over, he said that it was, quote, pretty funny.

But did you- I got it turned it off! It was alright. However, do not fret. We are still together and over time he's learned to appreciate the flop house to an acceptable degree. He is delighted and entertained by Elliot's not singing with Dan's and patients in frustration with constantly being interrupted. And the way the stew does not give a fuck that he's not in the entertainment business.

Yeah. And that house can't escape your face attitude. Oh man, so much. He is totally rude, dude, that too. While he is you? Not fully crossed over to level patch for the flop house that I share. Sometimes showing a look of worry when I share it, yet another dream I've had that involved one of you, usually the animal being honest, or is it more and more members of the flop house Facebook group because my real Facebook friends, I think you're one of over. There's something about Dan's voice

that lulls you to sleep. He's like the morphias of our podcasts. Would he meet people in the sewer and offers them a choice of pill? Like, it brings me to my semi-related question. Has that ever been a time when your enthusiasm for something has been so great that it actually turned someone off to the thing you were recommending to them? Sure, many times. Jasmine Lasting with Eld. Let me introduce you to a little book called The Power Broker by Robert Carrot, one of my favorite books, my favorite nonfiction book. I think I have insured a number of people. We'll never read it with my fervor and trying to push it on them. But I read it because of you.

Look, you are one of my few successes, and I appreciate that. I read all of it. And I love you for it. 1200 pages of it. It's like barely more than 1,100 pages long. Oh, what a book. I love it. Dan, what about you?

Um, you know, I tend to be done the other side of things. Like if someone just, someone talks about me too much, I don't want to watch it. Yeah, that happens to me too So I still watch community And you also are a tendency to undersell things Yeah, I do I'm gonna undersell my recommendations What about you do Stewart Apologize game of thrones. Yeah, that's part of it. I get way too worked up to that stuff. I get really worked up talking about Game of Thrones, so that's probably something.

The books. Yeah, of course the books, the fucking Carbors TV show. So one of my big hobbies, of course, like playing like role-playing games and stuff like that, and I'm sure that I have had many conversations with people who are not gamers and tried to sell somebody on a card game or a board game. And of course that conversation was the last time we ever talked about that thing that I was like, oh, oh you got played netrunner. It's the best game ever and would talk about it for I don't know 20 30 minutes while their response to become

Less often and shorter and then of course it is never mentioned again. Yeah Yeah, excited. Yeah, so Sometimes I'm enthusiastic as I am getting like like, noticeably sicker in the long or we find that the podcast is killing you. So it's like a reverse podcast of Dorian Graham. I like feeling it happened to me as we go on. So we should probably move on to next. Oh, you did now.

You're done. Now. You've run a butt. Start it all over. On what on tonight's episode we watched we are friends. We watched stealth if we're starting it all the way. We can go back to the first episode. We gotta get Simon back here.

Oh man. I don't think Slime would be up for that. So we next part of this podcast and is your favorite part is where we recommend movies we watch some planes. It's called JAPES on a plane Yeah, I'll go for it because I tease I tease how little I've been a recommend these movies so you should Be the anchor and pull up the rear or do you want to go for us?

I go first so we can yeah set a tone and pull up the rear or do you want to go for a semi-ofer? No, I'm going to go first. So we can bring it in. Yes, set a tone. We start low and then we move to a semi-ofer. We send out like a good EDM song. But then there's a drop. You can be the intro or the drop.

I'm going to be the intro. The drop is the exciting part. The drop is the moment of tension before the exciting part comes in. Yeah, that's where you peek and then you back off. All right. That's also what they did in the previous case. They peeked and they backed off. If only they'd kept backing.

It wasn't a good and in trouble. Yeah, I saw two movies that I'm, you know, are like solid, two and a half, three-star movies. Okay, wow. So, two and a half, three star movies. Okay, wow. So on the lower end of the scale, but I enjoyed both of them. I'm just setting expectations appropriately. It's not a three and a half stars earlier. One of them was called, and the blood and the other one was called

campus. And the blood, even though you said the title is like you're just a moly at it. And the blood is a movie starring Tina Carano, the MMA fighter who you may remember from Heywire. Yeah, that was a fun movie. It was a movie for Heywire. And this movie is not directed by Steven Soutover, it's slightly less, uh, creating a claim director. The guy who made a, a blue crush and, uh, pretty likely a director. The guy who made uh, uh, uh, Blue Crush and

uh, Toresta's uh, and it features uh, Flophouse favorite Cam Gajandis. Yeah. And Gajandis in it. And uh, as well as Louis Gussman and other Flophouse fans. Mm-hmm. I mean, he's ever Gussman and Danny Trejo. Danny Trejo, yeah. I haven't seen it. I'm just fast, but I hate it. What's his face? What's his face? And Danny Trehoff's face. Danny Treho, yeah. I haven't seen it, I'm just looking it up. Does he play his popular character, Badass? That's right. I mean, he basically... Yeah.

It's kind of the only one he plays except in that one movie where Maggie Jill and Hall is a recovering drug addict. Oh, okay. There, where Danny Trehoff plays a sympathetic character. But the movie is basically one of those frantic knockoffs where a couple goes to another country and one of them disappears and the other one has to figure out where they have gone to and why the whole country

seems to be in a weird conspiracy against him or her to find their loved one. And so it's hilariously xenophobic. It's a movie where it looks like going, you know, Americans going anywhere, are we going to go into trouble and be attacked by a foreigner? It's not a little China. If you're going to find trouble, they're big trouble. And as well, just go visit like local places yeah look

somewhere in this like your local library yeah like busy local library then you can travel anywhere you want to but a fly in the sky I can fly to my says hi okay you're still sick dude all right I admire Dan's ambition. But there's also a point in the movie where it seemed like Gina Carano just sort of gives up on being a normal human being trying to find her husband and starts just murdering her way through the island. So I like that. And Krampus is a movie that was written and directed by the guy who did

Trick or Treat, which was a movie that I don't really quite like. You would call it movie a treat. It's not as good as that movie, but it is a Christmas time or comedy trying to be in the vein of, you know, like an Amblin movie from the past. It's got that same sort of tone, except for it's a little more disturbing, like 4 of PG-13 movie. It has some pretty frightening character designs. I would say that the main problem with it is it's not quite as funny as it should be for a horror comedy, and it never quite makes me care enough about the characters to really be scared

but it's okay So fails on the to mean counts for a comedy, but it's got like but the light tone is still a lot of fun and like I like saying like Adam Scott And and that kind of movie just as I like to see him piranha Like this is this this is part of his duology with Peron where he's in a horror comedy where he takes a shotgun and blast things. So those are my two recommendations. It's probably another picture of the movie.

Yeah. Yeah, I got, I guess, I mean, I'm gonna keep my first recommendation super short. I once, I kept America sub-war, it was really great, really satisfying. I was listening to a show where folks are complaining about how there's too many superhero movies, and I kind of withdrew that, but at the same time, like, one of the most common complaints to the idea that you have to, like, it's hard to keep track of all these characters. And I don't find the idea of, like, entertainment that requires more out of you as an audience

to be downside. Like, I can understand the idea of it being, like, silly and popcorn. That makes sense. Like, somebody finds, like, the idea of superhero movies to be silly. Well, they might be saying they don't want to have to put that much effort in to enjoy a piece of popcorn flow. Mm-hmm. Well, I think that Kevin American Civil War is worth the effort. But I was also, I was mainly going to recommend a movie called The Thirteenth Warrior, directed by John McTeefe. I watched it.

Finally watched it. This is going to mark the absolute last time that I agreed to watch a movie by a listener recommendation because I got a lot of pressure. I got a lot of pressure being done, mate. And I don't get time for that, bro. I got a lot of dark souls to play the last couple weeks. And it, so I've never seen this movie and it's right at my alley it's a uh like uh with Antonio Mender exactly playing I'm guessing on the more uh you want more of uh he wants to do that where Antonio Banderis plays a former advisor of a Middle Eastern nation in the Middle Ages, the Dark Ages, and

he is exiled basically. And he teams up with Omar Sharif, which was great, and they are sent on like an ambassador mission to meet with some like Nordic Viking dudes, and he ends up getting wrapped up in an adventure where these 13 warriors have to go to the North and kill some kind of strange evil and save a king. And it has a lot of fun touches. It's a lot of year that I initially expected it to be, which is something that you don't quite see like,

and it's almost all practical because this came out years and years ago. And it's got a bunch of great English and Scandinavian actors, and there's some fun moments, and it's a pretty decent little action-adventure movie. I am going to go to possibly the farthest end of the filmmaking spectrum from that one.

I'm gonna recommend a documentary from 1967, directed by Shirley Clark called Portrait of Jason, which is a... It's a hockey mask. Yeah, it's about a piece, I'm kind of death elemental. And it's, the entire movie is One man this guy who calls himself Jason holiday who is a kind of as you as you find out through the movie a

Kind of jack-of-all-trades slash male hustler who wants to be a cabaret performer and he is black and gay at a time when it was very difficult to be either of those things and even more difficult to be both of them and it is him telling stories of his version of his life as he is kind of egg-donned by the people making the film from off camera and the way they shot it was that they literally from 9pm until 9am of one night they got him increasingly drunk throughout the night and had him dig deeper and deeper into his life and it raises these real questions of like how much performing is being got is going on both in his everyday life and in his attempts to create a persona for himself and in how the movie is presenting him

There are a couple moments where the movie is reminding you this is edited and this has been manipulated You think you're seeing truth, but how can you know you're seeing truth and how how much is this person complicit with putting themselves on this play and how much they be exploited. It's a very like Uncomfortable movie to watch, but it's really fascinating and magnetic, and for anyone who has found themselves drawn to like gray gardens, I'd recommend it, in that it's a portrait of people who, of someone who is living on a fringe of society in a way that they are attempting to make a life for themselves, and you're not quite sure if they're succeeding or failing by their own terms, and you're not quite sure how in on the joke

they are of the film, there's no joke here, but how in on the film they are. And I just found it really fascinating and engrossing, but also made me ask a lot of questions about what I was getting out of the film and how, whether the filmmakers were playing fair and I thought it was really fascinating. So Portrick of Jason, I recommend. Well that's a bunch of recommendations. We did it guys. So metric shit ton of recommendations.

As usual, thanks for listening to the silly show of ours. I don't know why I do it. If you get a chance, go to iTunes and give us a review. We don't ask for that very often, but I guess I think it helps. Yeah, why not? And listen to other Max Fun shows. There's a lot of great ones on the network. Yeah, I love being part of the network. I think there's a lot of fun ones, some new ones like the Be the Dairy Network. Yeah, you've been loving that one. I love that.

Some of your favorite bits are on there.

And we also have some playlists where we are slowly tracking down old videos that folks have put up like the music videos for our music video contest, so much other things. I think there's also maybe even some old footage. There might even be some old footage from some of our live shows from way back in the day. Oh really? Yeah, I think there's some stuff that was uploaded like the clip from Don't Teller It's Me where she rips the database on. Yeah. Yeah. How do we find that again? I go to YouTube and look up the Flop out podcast. Great. Those are all great things. Right, those are all great things. Okay. Damn, this is the first ever episode
