On this episode we watched a movie called The Choice, which do you choose? Watch this movie or don't watch this movie. Are you asking me? Hey everyone, welcome to the Flop House, I'm Dan McCoy. Hey, I'm Stuart Wellington. Hey, I'm Hallie Haglin. She's back. You're not Elliott. The star of the flop house is back. Oh, I killed Elliot and it gave him. Wow. Now you have his powers in one setting.

That was his deepest power, right? Just knowing how to sing that song. Adjusting your suspenders, which is what you're doing there,

I think, or were you adjusting a cape? Um, you guys, I'm just here to fill in for Elliot. He's actually totally fine. I don't know what he's doing, but he texted me, so I don't think he's that busy. Yeah, he was like, have a good taping tonight. I'm like, well, you can use your thumbs then you can tape a podcast.

Yeah, yeah, maybe he's stuck in a kiddie pool full of, I don't know, like, cozy pudding or something, or peat, cozy pudding. Yeah, isn't that a brand cozy? Look at, oh, Google pan. I'm gonna wrap myself up in a bag, a cozy put. I mean, the name sounds like... I think is that tapioca? I guess maybe that's cozier than other puddings? The cozy is the brand name, although I guess it could also be the descriptor.

It's gonna be so warm when I'm inside that pudding. I mean, numb initially, but it warms up. Yeah. I mean, there's no real pudding that's causing these days, you guys. No, what does that mean? About Bill Cosby. Oh, I should have picked up on your subtle facial cues.

That Cosby smart. Yeah. So, really? They're so real. No. Oh wow. It was Okay. So really? They know. Wow. It was like it was almost a second. Yeah. I almost stepped all over that impression. Yeah. I was checking my drink for roofie.

Wow. Yeah. So yeah. No. I will feed myself just to get a character just so you guys know. No. Sorry, please continue. This is a podcast where you watch a bad movie and then we talk about it. Mm-hmm. Uh, as you can see, one of our regular hosts, uh, Elliot Kaelin is dead.

He's dead. I was going to say on a sabbatical of one episode. Yeah, but he could also be dead. Uh, maybe by the time we record this podcast, God, that would be the worst thing. That would be so sad. Yep, if we were to joke about it. It's like Gary Shanling, comedians in cars getting coffee.

Oh really, what happened? It was like filmed very near to his death, and he was like, the title is literally like, Gary Shanling, at least I'm still alive. It's not funny. But yeah. Wow. So, man, rough. Okay, right at the top, we're talking about comedian deaths.

And I guess comedian rapes. Yeah. So, wow, let's, um, only up here. That's how he eats one of her martini olives. So, normally what we do on this here podcast is we watch a movie and then we talk about it. And what did we watch tonight guys? We watched the movie called The Choice,

which we gave Halle the decision. The choice. The choice of like what we would watch tonight because she was the guest. And I was, and so we could have someone to blame. I was rattling off different titles. And she's like, the choice, what's that? And I was answering, we could have someone to blame. I was rattling off different titles. And she's like, the choice, what's that?

And I was like, it's a Nicholas Sparks movie and her face lit up. You guys spark. You didn't even get to say all of Sparks before a hand covered your mouth and said, shut up, we're watching this one. Nicholas Sparks, of course, known for movies like The Notebook or Books, Books, Turn Into Mov known for movies like The Notebook or books books turn into movies. Yeah, yeah, no book

Where as I understand it. Yeah, what happens in that one? That's the big one right all timers derails of romance There's a romance for the ages. You're pretending like you didn't see the notebook. You've seen the notebook I've seen little bits of Coming out a little bit. Yeah, no, Dan didn't have time to watch the notebook. He was too busy watching Terminator 2. Yeah, right. Right. And then old Ryan Gosling is James Garner. I don't know who holds it's like Maggie Smith or something. It's not Maggie Smith. What who's the Judy Dinch? No, it's not black.

Either, but it's like one of those people. Yeah. Angie Oldington. Yeah, it's probably that. So that's one we watched Safe Haven for this podcast, which is the one where... That's another Nicholas Parks. A ghost tells the lady to date a... Later husband. Oh yeah, there was a ghost in that. That's why when we were about to watch this one, I'm like, at least there's gonna be a fucking ghost in it, right?

Yeah. You like a real spookimup. Yeah, yeah. So that it's both scary and a little bit lovely. I kept thinking we were having moments of ghost, but it was just like slow fade-ins to different scenes. But they like left the images on the screen just a little bit too long. Well, you want to see a ghost every October, so...

I want to see a ghost every month. I think you're just seeing ghosts wherever you want to see him. But what's this movie about? Yeah, what is this movie about? So Smash Cut to the opening of this movie. And we see, we hear somebody is at Tom Wilkinson, somebody's doing narration as we see the main dude. It's the main dude. It's them. It's called. Is it the main dude? Yeah Travis? Yeah, it's all um Travis

Handsome bones. Oh, he is handsome and pretty bony Uh-huh. I mean to be fair when we started watching it We were watching it with that weird screen feature Bonyer then yeah, it really stretched out. Like, all the grays. I asked Halle what she thought of our dramatically at one point. And she's like, he's okay.

He's like pretty. To be fair, that was before you changed the setting of the screen. Yeah, for me, that's pretty when I changed it. No, yeah, he was definitely more attractive. Or maybe I just got to know him and I just saw how much he loved his wife. Yeah, at first I was like, oh, he's like Slender or maybe I just got to know him and I just saw how much do you love his wife? Yeah, first I was like, oh, he's like cylinder man. I love him

Yeah, I don't know what the problem was but Amazon Prime you got to switch up your presets or whatever because my normal Television look totally normal and then I put on the choice and everyone looked all squish heads Wait, what part squished? It's on the sides, right? Yeah. Okay. So, are you telling the listeners to change their presets or you would monishing Amazon? Yeah, I'm telling them to dial into their menu button

and go to picture goodness. Yep. Which you were going to do an optimum. Yeah, you did that a couple times throughout the movie and we lost a couple of scenes and set the squishiness to zero. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and the awesomeness to 12. Mm-hmm. Yep, only maxed out, no middle sliders.

That's the maximum is 12. Mm-hmm. So, we, so the movie begins with a voiceover about choice and how life is made up of little choices and some other shit. And then we have our hero, handsome bones, writing around on a fan boat in Florida. And he's got kind of like not really long hair, but- How in Florida? Isn't he in South or North Carolina?

Oh, yeah, you're right. It's probably North Carolina because it has all of the prettiness of Florida but none of the grossness. It's like outer banks or something. It's a very romantic setting. Well, it's tough for me to place it because every time they do a shot of like landscape

or anything, it feels so tight like they have only this tiny little window that they can shoot because if you look a little bit to the right, oh wow, aren't you, doesn't like my description. If you look to the right or the left at all, you're gonna see like construction or like people in like American flag, short shorts or something.

Yeah. There's gonna be, yeah. There's gonna be. Something that ruins the misty cap with a belly shirt going. Hey y' something. Yeah. There's gonna be, yeah. There's gonna be. Something that ruins the misdeeds out with a belly shirt going. Hey, y'all. Yep.

So. They're mostly just still cleaning up from Hurricane Katrina. Oh, bring it back down. Yeah. With your Cosby, your Hurricane Katrina. I just want to keep us grounded because we got pretty romantic in the movie.

And I just want you guys to know that's not what real life is like. So every time we peak we got a back off a little bit with talk about tragedies. So we have handsome youngling riding around in his fan boat. And he's a man on a mission. He snatches up to get ladies. We think as he snatches up some flowers heads into a hospital. And at this point, I'm like, we got boats, we got a place that I thought was Florida, we got a hospital, we got prime Nicholas, sparks material, right? Yeah.

And he has a brief interaction with a handsome, almost equally handsome, doctor. A handsome in a different way. And that is beefier. Yeah, he's like a big slab of man. Yeah, even stretched out, I was like, he's pretty beefy. I mean, he's not beefy, just he's good. Yeah, all right.

He's not in shape. I don't know why he wanted body shape. Well, what I was trying to say is if, no, he's like a good stew. He's like a delicious stew. Yeah, it's like a delicious version of me. If you took, I feel like if you were making a cartoon with these two guys, handsome bones and the doctor,

handsome bones would definitely be a talking hot dog character and the doctor would be a talking hamburger. I mean, it's pretty obvious. That's it. I agree. The doctor would have his voice would be Patrick Warburg. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's what I think I'd like to buy or a hamburger. Yeah, I'm eating a be Patrick Warburg. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, that's what I think

I'd like to buy out a hamburger. Yeah, I'm eating a delicious Patrick Warburg. I'm actually pretty sure that that actor was on 90210, the college years. Okay. Yeah. Wait, which one? The guy who played the doctor.

Okay. Yeah, I think he was like the frat guy that Tory spelling, Tory spelling dated before she. Who chained up with on that show? Because in real life, she ended up with someone else. Wait, in the show, she ended up with Brian Austin Green, right? David, David Silver. Wait, is that Brian Austin Green? Yes. Okay. But yeah, but on the show and in real life she ended she wound up with that guy who hosts like Canadian top chef or something Canadian top chef. It's all Poutine. It's all a hundred percent Poutine base. No, not Canadian chopped. That's what I meant Okay

No, not Canadian chopped. That's what I meant. All right. Okay. I'm pretty proud of you. You know, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of now. No, it's wrong. It was Canadian shop dummies And we are dummies, but our hero hotdog is not a dummy because we go backwards in time Because at this point that's such a great bookend like I just want to see my phone About that was the Beverly Hills so framing devices done Our hero is now hanging out with his buddies on a boat again in a marina. And he's hitting on some babes, some blonde babes and bikinis. He's showing off how he's like the cool guy friend.

And his buddies are just, they're just chill and they're kind of like basically being like a little bit of a peanut gallery and also kind of analyzing his maneuvers and skills. They're like, oh, dirty dog. Yeah, which is weird because he owns a dirty dog. Who will meet later? The dog doesn't actually get that dirty until the end because it won't swim. That's why he always has to carry him. Oh, I didn't pay that close attention. Yeah. So Hot Dog gets stolen away from these babes with a third babe played by Teresa Palmer.

Teresa Palmer. I think, is that right? No, I was talking about his high school girlfriend. Oh, yeah, I mean, all the babes. Alexander D'Arrio. Yep, D'Arrio. D'Arrio. Named after the guitar strings. Oh, yeah, I mean, all the base. Alexander Dario. Yep, Dario. Dario. They've named after the guitar strings.

The Dario guitar strings. Yep. And the popular chain of pizza restaurants. That's a barrio. That's a barrio. That's a barrio. Yeah. So we basically learn a little backstory.

This guy is kind of a lady killer, but not really. It doesn't actually kill any ladies. And he loves partying with his buddies. Much more interesting movie if that was what it was. It was in romance where one of the guys is like a lady murderer and they have to get over. That's the, that's the hitch that they have to get over.

He's like, could you just stop murdering other ladies? I mean, he certainly makes faces as if he's putting together an audition reel for American Psycho, the musical. Yeah. Wait, you guys, that was not from 902 and I know it all, but that was Superman from Smallville. What? Yeah.

What? I'm welling. What? Really? He's beefed up. Yeah. I don't think he actually looks, he looked familiar. I mean, not familiar enough for me to actually know

Yeah, I got I mean like I'm not I really don't actually want to body shame anyone But he just looks much bigger than he used to I mean let's admit that other Superman guy got way better. Oh Dean Kane Yeah, yeah, yep. That's true. Oh, he was like time makes monsters of the soul He was hosting Ripley's believe it. Well, he was like, time makes monsters up the soul. He was hosting Ripley's Believe It or Not. And he was like, did you believe that I'm getting it? Or not. Nope, we believe it. Sorry, Dean Kane.

Don't you have any Christian action movies you can star in? And he's like, I'm too fat for those now. And then we all got sad. Actually, like every time I come on this show, I'm on you Shane Men.. And then we all got sad. I feel like every time I come on the show, I'm body shane then. And I feel like it's fine. Turn about its fair play. No, yeah, I feel like it's important.

I feel like someone is finally willing to say it. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Somebody finally stands up to the Patriarchy. Yeah. So back to the plot. Yeah, we get a pretty quick setup of,

and by quick, I mean, it takes forever, where we discover our hero is, likes to hang out with his friends, he likes to play his music real loud and he's music entirely consists of like covers of songs, hangs out with his dog, he likes to barbecue, all this shit. And then we are introduced to his next door neighbor who is a Amber herd type,

who is trying to study but can't because her next door neighbor is partying all the time. And she's also frustrated because her dogs, nipples are totally swollen. But also, whatever happened with that test, because that was like an important test that she needed to take to become a doctor. And she never took it and then she never had any job after when they were buried in the montage. You jumped a little bit, but they didn't get married.

They don't really address her career. They don't mention when she's in a coma for instance. I didn't say who they were. They don't mention when she's in a coma for instance. I didn't say who they were. They don't mention when she's in a coma like she has to take a lot of time off at work while she's in this coma. But I... She's going to get fired because apparently she didn't follow through with her career. No, I'm saying yeah, the unspoken message of this is if you want a man, if you want to keep a man, give up your medical studying. One of your possible choices could be give up your studies,

give up your teaching people to ride horses, and instead you'll get hit by a car in a rainstorm and be put in a coma for exactly as long as the movie needs you to be. We are really giving away a lot of the... We'll get a rain. We have to paint a picture before you drop these bombs on people. Well, and most of this movie feels like you're painting a picture at least the first half hour feels like I am flipping through a J. Crew catalog and I have

like sad music playing in the background and if somebody just sprayed salt water and in front of a fan by my face I feel like I would be living this movie. That said, everything's really, Dan is really excited with this new gizmo he's playing with. Sorry. If I knew gizmo, I'm not talking about the mogwai. I'm talking about a little bit. I was looking at our backup recorder, which I don't think was working, but that's why

I was. Oh, now we're living on the edge without a backup. Yeah. Is it working now? No. What if we'll check back in a couple of minutes. Okay. So we're just saying that the movie opens with a lady's man who just can't quite settle

down and a bookish nerd lady who has a dog with swollen teeth. Three is a Palmer. The aforementioned three is a Palmer who You might remember from I'm number four. I didn't remember her. What is that? You might remember from what was the other one. That's a movie where a guy is a superhero. The Sorcerer's apprentice was the other one when she was in.

Also didn't remember her in that either. That's a one with me. Did you really break out a role then I guess? Yeah. Yeah, I mean this movie is super successful. Was it? I don't think so. I never heard of it, that's not sure.

So of course, opposite's attract, like that song where the Catman has sex with a pull-out duel. It's implied MC Catman. a pull-out duel. It's implied MC Cat, man. So of course, our Theresa Palmer nurse lady. She wasn't on nurse. Okay, so she thought she was just in turning. She wasn't, okay, that makes sense. She was doing her residency. Oh, okay, I'm sorry. So, her boyfriend played by a Superman, I guess, aka the hamburger. Hamburger. He is, I don't know.

I mean, he says more than just robber, robber in this movie. He's probably afford to buy hamburgers rather than steal them. Oh, he could. He's a doctor. I'm pretty he's probably afford to buy ham and hamburgers rather than steel. Oh, he could. He's a doctor. I'm pretty sure the hamburgerler can afford to buy hamburgers too. There's not that experience for real. Exactly does it for the thrill.

The sexual thrill. It's not like he's wimpy or something. No, all right. Who lies and takes out I will use. Did you guys know if the hamburger who takes out his mask, it's Winona Reiner? Ha ha. I did not know that. She just gave it a throw.

Yeah, and apparently much older than I thought. It's short. Wait, is that Winona Ryder or the hamburger? I think they're of a size. He looks pretty bit. I mean, he's like stands up pretty close to Grommet, right? Grommet? Grommet.

Or Grommet from the Claymation Dog. Yeah, I mean, Grommet. Okay. So you're using Grommetace a giant, like purple thing as your scale comparison. Originally he was supposed to be like a drop of a shake. That was what Grimmis was. What?

Flavor shake? I don't know, because they never had a purple shake. That's why I'm asking you. They must have had a purple shake. I don't think so. Okay, well. He also was originally a villain. This is this is the grimace trivia cast, but grimace was originally a villain. That's why he was named grimace.

What was his like what was his plan? What was his MO? I don't know man. He wanted to. He was just an agent of chaos. That's like such a sad villain name because it's such a specific feeling of like it's not even like Evil it's just like Disgust and shame but pity and like it's such a sad feeling Grimmis it something well It's in a way it's the opposite feeling that the owners of the McDonald's chain of restaurants wants you to experience when entering their restaurant Yeah owners of the McDonald's chain of restaurants wants you to experience when entering their restaurant. Yeah, that's what you have in testinal distress, you have a grandmas, or if you're, I don't know, working at a McDonald's and have to deal with an annoying customer.

Yeah. Or if you open your paycheck and you look at it. Oh, hot tape. Political. You guys, I bring in a lot of politics into tonight's show. Thank you. So we have Teresa Palmer's character named Gabby. Yes. Gabby. She and Hot Dog hit it off, but she's got a boyfriend. Her boyfriend goes on a business trip.

That gives her plenty of time to let Hot Dog swoop in and sweep her off her feet. Do we see there are neighbors? Yeah, I'm maybe idea. I don't know. Yeah, they're neighbors as in like in the hit film neighbors to sorority rising, except for they're not sorority and they are not fighting each other. They're falling in love. So not really.

I mean, I don't know. I haven't watched the neighbors to hit film sorority rise. Are you getting the recommendations early? hit film sorority rise. Are you getting to recommendations early? Marketing sorority rise. Okay. I guess that's one of the sponsors of this episode. Hey, it's me, Seth Rogan. Come watch my movie, neighbors to sorority rising. I think that's the name. I don't care. I don't care. Raves Dan McEvoy. Could be. Could be who knows? Not me, Seth Rogan creator,. He could be. He could be who knows.

Not me. He's a broken creator. The living could happen. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't like yourself into a box. So of course, uh, uh, wait, oh yeah, we find out that our hero, uh, the hot dog is also one of the two vets in this small town.

Yeah. A town that can support the two vets in this small town. Yeah. A town that can support two vets. But we find that out because. How do we find that out? Because remember how her dog was pregnant? And then she's like, I got a game. Or she. She's really mad because she thinks

that he, his dog, made her dog pregnant. Yeah, which is a little bit of wishful thinking, don't you think? She's like, yeah. She's trying to lock him down. Oh yeah, you think she poked holes with a dog kind of the lock. Well dog die a frame. I mean, come on. She doesn't have access to his dog rubber stand. That'd be crazy. Yeah, but she takes him into the vet and the guys like, my dog was fixed. You should know as a doctor that he doesn't have any testicles.

And the girl that you thought was my girlfriend is in fact, just kind of looks like my girlfriend because the girl you thought was my girlfriend is TV's Maggie Grace wearing a really big, thick, luscious wig. I just make her wear a wig to look like my girlfriend. I mean, my sister wear a wig to look like my girlfriend. And it's the thickest, luscious wig. It's pretty great.

Yeah. And Maggie Grace plays a sister and she doesn't really bring much to the movie other than a baby later on. Warps. Incredible warmth. You bring to that Maggie Grace feeling. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, lost and taken.

Mm-hmm. Like, anytime our hero has a problem, she kind of just like floats in from the background and puts her hand on his shoulder. And she's like, I got your back. Yep. I thought she was in the room with us. I was like gonna be like, watch out for Bill Goss,

but how his hair isn't thinking of for that. Oh, you guys, I'm going bald. Because Archie keeps eating your hair. It's true. You guys, you got to meet Archie. He's pretty fun. Yep. Yeah, everyone come over. Listiers come over. I mean, I guess form a single file line. Should we just give out your address on your pet, single pet, but you got to shift around. If you keep doing the same area, he'll go bald in that one area. You give arching one piece of food

or a galley. Nothing fatening. Oh, you're giving him a lot of free reign. You just let them pick any kind of food, but it has to be one piece. Yeah, that's right. So like one slice of pizza. One piece of spaghetti. One rotisserie chicken. An entire rotisserie chicken. One baked Alaska piece. I mean, there's a lot of pees. One baked Alaska piece. Yeah.

Well, he's king and he deserves to be treated like one. When it's my turn, I'm gonna give him one gusher because he's had so much heavy food at this point. I think one little treat that has a little treat inside it is exactly what he needs. So you're looking at me like it's time for us to move on. And I think that's what's going on. And so we see kind of whirlwind romance between these two characters.

She's a little standoffish both because she knows that Dr. Hotdog or Veterinary Hotdog is a little bit of a bad boy and is not going to settle down. But deep down it's also because she knows she has a boyfriend. Yeah, that's right. she knows she has a boyfriend. Yeah, that's right. A boyfriend that we kind of forget about for a little bit until. And so does she.

He's off at a convenient conference. For like a month. Yeah. Yep, a convenient conference for convenient doctors. And. What does that mean? I don't know. Doctors of Livnight near you.

They don't have availability in their schedule. I wish I had some of those in New York. Yeah, thanks, Obama. I mean, no, genuinely, thank you, Obama. Many doctors are more convenient to all of us. Yeah, that's what I said. Thank you, Obama. All right, let me say it weird.

That's how I think people. So of course, the sexual chemistry cannot be contained and eventually, Dr. Veterinary Hot Dog and our lead Gabby. That was really smooth. The way Halley stood up and did. Yeah, she's not out of the room because she doesn't want to hear this part. When in a moment of separation,

where the vet is sitting in his Adirondack chair staring off into space, and she is sitting on her porch watching him, she decides to send him a little love note, tucked into the collar of her dog. Or his dog, I don't remember, which he unwraps and says, dinner in my place in 20 minutes and he's like,

he's like, what is this a message for my dog. I know that my dog had a place and also my dog can write notes. This is my dog coming on to me. I thought we had a platonic relationship. Now I got to have this conversation with my dog. So, how do you have any thoughts about the idea that his dog might have been the one who wrote that note? I mean, that would have been a much better movie.

But yeah, they, they, uh, well, it's also not even clear. It's like the dog may have wrote it, but like, I assume he has other neighbors too. Yeah, they, they've been, they've been writing notes and sticking them to the dog and it probably took him at least an hour for that dog to bring him the note directly and not like, I don't know, jump in the lake. No, the dog doesn't swim. How much do I have to tell you guys? Stick his face in a bucket of fish guts.

You're that's what he does. He does do that. So we are treated to a little bit of heavier romance after a costume change, hot dog and Gabby, have a nice meal of pasta and salad I'm assuming. And they're fun. They're salving angrily with each other. Like it seems like they're upset

that they're attracted to each other, basically. Yeah, I mean, this is the most by the numbers flirting that also has a touch of like, like anger to it, like, oh my god, you just push all my buttons. I can't believe it. And we're getting, we get a little bit of homespawn wisdom from, uh, from veteran, Spoon Spun Wisdom from our veterinarian hero. Both talking about God. Yep, God comes up one, just like one, one, one, four, one again. Yep. And then we are treated to a couple shots

of a bunch of puppies that are clearly played by a different breed of dog than the dog that birthed. I'm just like full grown chihuahua so they try to make look like puppies. Yeah, dude. What, what golden retriever? What kind of dog is that? It was the mother was.

Nobody knows about the father though. That's true. The, because yeah, there's no other dogs in this movie, so it could have been anything. Yeah. It could have been a virgin birth. Check the midi-chlorine count. So we, so eventually they can't take a name or their flirting turns to a sex scene that Dan said was actually hotter than I expected.

Well, I was just, I mean, I, you know, the rest of the movie is so like it could be like a Christian like romance. Yeah, I mean, basically is one. Yeah, like a J. Crew catalog. Yeah, J. Crew catalog is a Christian romance. It's like, I mean, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, when you're at Christian camp and you need some kind of material to get you in the mood and you, you know, you don't want to, I guess, you want to peak polo shirt. Yeah, yeah. So, well, you might look at a Dre Kruke outlaw to give yourself those funny feelings because you, I don't know, it might be a sin to go by a purchase of Tijuana Bible or something.

I see you want a Bible. That's right. You want to see Dagwood having sex with Miss Bugley from Beelbeiler. He's gonna cheat on Blondie. That's insane, dude. He's got Blondie right at home and Dagwood's gonna cheat on blondie. That's insane, dude. He's got blondie right at home. And Dagwood's not gonna do any better blondie.

That's a real cheesy Beyonce situation if you ask me. Yeah. So you topical. Yeah, but it's just like there was more political. There he is. I just didn't expect like, I didn't expect the sex scene to be like, as like, I mean, it wasn't like, nobody's with their clothes off.

No, there was no full tank. He took his shirt off and we got to see some wicked cut up abs. Oh, and hers too, remember? Cause you were like, that's a flat stomach. I did, that's a, wow, a steward in the room with us. Can I talk to you? Well, you were the one who, like, when she took her shirt off, you're like, whoa.

Well, she did have much bigger boobs than I would have thought given her. She didn't give it her frame. Her confidence level. I didn't, that's, no. I didn't. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. They totally do it. They have it totally sex balls type. Uh did it. I did it. I did it. I did it. They totally do it.

They have it totally sex balls type. Uh huh. It's crazy. Grind on each other. All my hopes that the sex scene is going to be interrupted by a comedic puppy scene. I was disappointed that didn't happen. We just got a super hot sex scene followed by a, I don't know, waking up in bed together. Um, and he leaves a note for her and you're thinking, oh, wait, maybe he's like, I'm a love him to leave him tight,

but no, no, no. No. He had to get to the vet because that's his job and he's really tired. He's committed. Yeah, yeah. He's, he's responsible. He doesn't let down animals. Well, look, he's basically just, I mean, he's a woman's dream guy. I mean, he's, you got to tame him, but he also loves animals. Yeah. Yeah, and he's like, and he's handy. He like fixes boatmotors. Oh, yeah.

I mean, he's, he's everyone's dream. He's my dream. Yeah. I mean, if I could have this guy around to fix my boat motor and I don't know occasionally carrying out a rod neck chair from one place to another place What if he held your face in his hands and said you bother me? I Would be forced to kiss and those are the laws of my curse

It was that was a very romantic refrain. Yeah. I was like, hook, line, and sinker. I'm a woman. Yeah, at that point, I was clutching the throw pillow on the couch to my bosom and I was thinking, what a dream guy. So of course. Why can't I find a love lock there?

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. You had that accent too, which is weird. Yeah, his weird Jimmy Stewart accent. I knew you were wearing that weird gun with the wind dress. Yep. Can you describe that weird gun with the wind dress to me? I was like, I'll have that big, screwing stuff. Yep, yep, I think it checks out.

I was wearing that. So the, of course, her, she is taken to heaven in this guy's arms only to be brought back to Earth to Terra firma by a voicemail from her actual boyfriend who's like, I love you babe, I'm not cheating on you being a jerk, I'm actually a good dude. So she is conflicted at this point, but that's that's not really she listens to and she's like,

whatever. And then montage of them being together for a month. Yeah, that's true. She, I don't know, I think there's a moment where she's like, oh, that guy. Yeah. Um, hey. Yeah. Could you, we're, I mean, just maybe, you know, taking it can. Right? I don't know. You feel the same way as me, right? We're just feeling out, right?

I don't know. Tomorrow, who knows? I think you're great. But, you know, it's just like, we're having fun, right? I don't know. Tomorrow, who knows? I think you're great. But, it's not. You know, it's just like, we're having fun, right? I mean, I don't know. What's with your hair? But, hey, thumbs up.

You're a doctor, don't forget that. I really, yeah. That places. So, he comes back and they have a little bit. Yeah, eventually he comes back and you're like, you remember that you had a boyfriend and are pretty weak as like stone that's thrown in the way of their burgeoning romance. In this case, the stone is attached to a wedding engagement ring, which he accepts. Yeah, the stone is a huge diamond. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, let me check out that. That's true. That's true. She briefly accepts a marriage proposal from Hamburger, even though Hot Dog had really like confessed his love. And he's like, come on, come with me right now. Because this was the pivotal scene. She gets this random call from her actual boyfriend who's like,

hey, I just came, I'm back, I'm back. Meet me at this restaurant right now. And she's like, my bad. Me and me like fucking dune chasers, or whatever stupid ass name that restaurant has. It was like, Driftwood Sally's. Yeah. And she, and so.

The Henry Cree's, the Hungry Crab. And she ends the hungry crab. The Pelican Sandwich. The Pelican Sandwich. That's where you have two pelicans and in between is a shoe of the fish. That's their special. But so she was like, she was like, um, and he was like, it's so great.

And she was like, um, uh, because like, it's so great. And she was like, um, Because like, you'll meet me there, right? My parents will be there. And she's like, um, you have literally no reason to turn this invite down, right? And she's like, um, and then the phone hangs up. And then she shows up. But guess what? Before she shows up, we see a shot of Travis just that's our hero. He's just like, you know, he's a lone wolf. He's a real Dylan McKay. If we're gonna go back to our 902 and over, that's a shame. Yeah, yeah, he is a lot like Dylan.

And he was like eating at the bar alone, and then we see. But didn't he, right before that, take a second Adirondack chair, and please say, immediately next to his Adirondack chair. Did we make it clear how important was, was before because like, because she was like giving her analysis to his sister

and she was like, I know that kind of guy. He's the guy that sets out one Adirondack chair because he's always the guy who sits alone. Mm-hmm. But then, he's right on the other chair. Yep, he got then he's brought on another chair. Yep, he got a matching Adirondack chair. And he's like, this is gonna be symbolic to the people watching me do this.

That's right. The invisible audience is gonna know exactly what this means. And it was like a ladies Adirondack chair too. One of the same chair, yeah, it was like a petite chair. Yeah, it flares out of the hips. And there's a place to store sanitary napkins. The buttons are on the other side

of the Adderondack chair. Mm-hmm. Wait, which buttons? Adderondack button, yep. So of course, yeah, our hero sees, the love of his life hanging out with her boyfriend, being a girlfriend and he's like, wait a minute, I totally forgot you had a boyfriend. Which is a little weird because he knew that, right?

I mean, they didn't forget. She brought that up. She was like, we never talked about this. We never said what this was. Oh, yeah. That was, yeah, that was, it was kind of interesting because it was, it was funny to see, I don't know, normally it's like a dude trying to make a bunch of bullshit excuses.

In this case, it was her, not the dude. I don't know. But did we, and we forgot to talk about that really great scene at the, the, the like midway, the fairway where they're playing all the carnival games. Yeah, we can. That one that takes like fucking forever and you're like, does the director think we want to watch strangers enjoy fucking carnival games for five minutes?

Because that's crazy. I don't want to watch me enjoy carnival games for five minutes. Yeah. Are we running long here, Dan? A little bit. Okay. Okay. So, she comes in, he's there, he sees her. She's going to meet her boyfriend and his parents

because he'll only apparently hang out with her with his parents. Those are his only friends apparently. It's really weird. The only time we ever see them together is with his parents and then they're all like, super rich and all this stuff. and you get all these illusions to like They go to play golf together and she's like, oh the property where I grew up had a golf course

Because she gets a hole in one. She's like I got really good at golf and you're like, uh, this sounds like You're supposed to be rich, but you're actually Yeah, it's the laziest attempt to be like She is saying things in just the right way to make you believe that she either could be a rich person or a poor person that lives on a rich person's house. That never got, but that never got picked up on, right? Like they never resolved that.

Yeah, yeah, I think you were, I think you were making drinks. Okay. That comes up in a little bit. So she, she leaves a note for the hero after they kind of have a breakup. And like, he... That was some very romantic scene when he was like, he was like, I love you. He was like, come with me. We can walk away from all this.

And she was like, I don't know. That was my, for those romantics out there. Sure. I want a bookmark this scene as a thumbs up. Okay. So just go to the DVD chapter titled, Look at how you bother me. How is face with a thumbs up?

You have a highly approved chapter in the menu of this movie. So the weird part is when, so after that, it's left kind of ambiguous, but you believe that she has called things off with our hero to be with the other guy. And then we see a scene. She sent a letter. Yeah, she leaves the letter on his Adirondack share, because that's apparently the center of his world. And he reads the letter and the letter begins, you know, I broke up with him and we had

a huge fight. And he called me all these mean names and everything. And then the next morning he showed up and he asked me to marry him. And I'm like, okay, so sorry. Sure. So life is choices. And I guess it doesn't really matter what choice you make. See ya.

Yeah, she's like, good, bad, doesn't matter. Life keeps the world keeps spinning. Like when I killed that bum and God didn't strike me down. And my heart I'm like, but that's murder. That's a mortal sin. I should be going to hell, but nothing happened. I'm invincible. Crimes and misdemeanors.

You know what I mean? Crimes and misdemeanors. Misdemeanors. Hello, I'm misdemeanors. Good day to you. I'm here to marry your son. Okay. We had a good laugh at Dan's mispronunciation of meaners.

I'm wondering why there was never a movie called Crimes in Mist of Meteors, where meteor has come and destroyed the meteor man. Meteors where meteors got been destroyed Meteor man, well yep meteor man was a movie Okay, so Keep going We got and mr. Meaders I'm in American women. Pals in my British men. Ha ha ha. Wait, where's the crime?

Is she a criminal? Is she like a camper? I don't know. This will never work between the two of us, because I used the metric system, and you used the English system, which is ironic, because I'm English, you know what I'm saying. And then she's like, no, it'll work, and then he killed her and that was the crime. Mm.

Okay. And he chomps her body up into meter sized pieces. Oh, pretty big pieces. Oh. Pretty big pieces. You can do meteor pieces. Because her body's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true.

It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true.

It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true.

It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. and Travis spend some time with their other lovers. And we think they're just gonna keep moving on. And then eventually, like relatively quickly, Travis comes to his senses. He has a nice loving conversation with his ex-girlfriend who's like, oh, you should get back with her, dude. And he's like, okay.

He'll never look at me that way. She's like, I'm gonna go off and kill myself because there's no other, sorry about that guys, trigger warning, I guess. But it feels like there's no other eligible single men in this town. Even his even Travis's fucking dad, played by Tom Wilkinson as a girlfriend by the end of the movie.

I mean, I guess there were a lot of puppies recently born and we don't know the sexist father. And date those puppies, is that what you're saying? So I don't know. It's a possibility. It's what I'm saying. It's just a different style of love, you know? Mm-hmm.

Who are we to say what's moral? Yeah. Remember his definition of love was all about how that dog moved his head? Yep. His definition, when describing religion or his belief in God, he mentions his dog loving him back by pushing his head against his hand. So of course, Travis and Gabby decided to get together.

He gets punched in the face by hamburger the doctor yeah and then uh... we are greeted to a montage of uh... that her getting pregnant well that i i do want to i i want to speed up a little bit so we can get to the end of this but i don't want to skip over the fact that where uh... hot dog you know uh... uh... poses to gaby and it's in the scene where he's like he comes any burst in on

The her at her parents house. Yes, okay parents are like oh It's clear to me. It's clear from the moment that he walked in that you were in love with him And she's like no no. I don't want to marry him and he's no no and like the mom's like here take Grant your grandmother's ring to propose to him. That I'm wearing around my neck on a chain. Yeah, and she's like, no, I don't want to marry him. And he's like, yeah, it was like they're all set up for it. Yeah, they were all prepped.

And even though, but that was the scene that you were talking about, because that was the scene where he comes in, and he starts asking for permission to marry Gabi, but he's asking the family who own the property, not her family, the people who work on the property. Because he always thought she was rich.

Yeah, he thought she was rich because of her stuck-up snobby ways. Because she's a big golf and you know- And she's blonde. Yeah. Alright, so I missed that. But the point is, like, no parents in the world have ever acted that way. If their daughter is like, no, I don't want to marry you. They're going to be like, I think you should leave.

Sir, I don't know. I think the thing about those parents is they're like, there's no other eligible men in this universe of this movie. Yeah. So you got to snamp this guy up because there's plenty of other women, those bikini ladies, probably one of the people

at the Veterinarian clinic. The Sagittariat, the the veterinarian clinic the the Sagittariat the veterinary clinic she was all lonely hard presumably single. Yeah Presumably you're right, but I will say that I feel like our Conversation about this very much mirrors how we felt about this which is that we've spent a ton of time up until this point talking about this and we've getting to this point where like, oh, and then he proposed to her and then like it worked out. And then you're like, oh my God,

there's like at least 40 minutes more of this movie. That was the moment where we were given high fives and we're like, oh yeah, let's start recording this podcast and then Dan paused it and we see was, and he was, and he was, see the little progress bar. Or heart sank. And because, of course, we are greeted to this montage of them getting older together, but not getting older at all.

They look exactly the same. Yeah. Their haircuts don't change. They don't get it groany facial hair. She certainly doesn't grow facial hair. They create a couple of children who grow to about the age of... They grow them. Yep, they grow to the age of, I don't know, 11 years.

That's in gray. Seven years? Maybe. At the most, the oldest is like... 10, probably. 10 and below. Yeah, then below. So they have these kids and then they're supposed to have a romantic dinner date. And of course, he is kept late at the Veterinarian Clinic because of this sick cat, the villain of the movie, a cat that I can only assume was poisoned by the evil doctor hamburger. So he is kept late and she is a hamburger. And so he is kept late and she is. A hamburger. So she has, I guess she gets sick of waiting for him

at the restaurant and so she, yeah. And it's a different restaurant. And she always stands her up because you work such long hours and she's given up her career apparently. The thing is, Halle, a being a mom is the toughest job. You'll ever love. I'm not laughing because I don't think it's true.

I'm laughing because it is true. That's why you're laughing because you're hardly. It's like a Jerry Seinfeld sort of thing. No, it's like. What's the deal with these moms? Exactly. It's like, yeah. The laugh of recognition.

Yeah. Exactly. Like, laughter to you moms. I'm with you. It's a solidarity laugh. Yeah. So, uh, of course, she gets in a car, it's raining, and we're like, that is code for accident. And of course, that's true. A car smash is into her, and we get a slow motion shot of her flying around the car, and phone exploding and we're like no not her phone Her face is still seems perfectly intact. Yeah, her phone got pretty messed up little. Do we know it was not her phone in a coma? Yeah, it's a Dorian grave situation

Where her phone reflects the state of her her physical damage as opposed to her body Dan just like Dorian great I Get it now. Yeah, well, I'll put you on training wheels for this one. So then we get to watch a long period of time upwards of 90 days where her character is in a coma. Yeah, well, how they had joked at the beginning of the movie when we, when we were going into the hospital that the choice that he would have to make was whether to pull the plug or not, because she knew the title of the film.

She took it to check and out. Right, right, right. And then it turned out like that was the choice. I thought the choice was between the two boys. No. Hamburger Boy or Hot Dog Boy. The choice was he was they were he was like standing in front of his mother's grave being like, I just can't pull the plug. Mama. I don't want to pull the plug mama. And then like an apparition, his sister appears behind

him. And she's like, I got a wig. But I think your wig is telling me to pull that plug. But my heart is telling me not to. There's a lot of heart versus head versus wig. You're right. It's throughout this. So we get this point like in Shakespeare. That was the classic Shakespearean conflict. Heart versus head versus wig.

Mm-hmm. I mean, there are a lot of wigs. In Shakespeare or in the movie. I think both. Yeah, both, probably. So we, yeah, it comes down to a situation where Travis is trying to side whether or not he should pull the plug on his wife, who is in a coma. He's being urged to do it by his wife's ex-fiancé, which is suspect,

if you ask me, he shouldn't be the one giving that kind of counsel. But you, but, but I just want you guys to know he was not, he was compassionate. He was still a good dude. He was still a good dude. He had, at that point, he had his own family. Because remember, they were like talking other kids. I paid a lot more attention to this movie than either a steward or a dude.

You don't think that he might still be holding on to a torch and he's like secretly like. Maybe he did, but he's definitely not. So he's like murder her? Yeah, he's like, every night she wakes up and he bunks her on the head with her holy bin. He has a coconut that he drops on me. He's like fine when she got here.

And why is she also in like still the emergency ward, right? Because that's where he works. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's kind of an emergency. It's a life-or-death situation, Halle. So, he, uh, this after their houses are destroyed by Hurricane, which hurricane? Do they name it? Cassandia. Cassandia. Yep, from, uh, name taken from the

Ancient Greek mythology. Um, and he takes the pieces of her house, uh, that like her like porch, that washed up, and he made, he takes a boat out to her. Oh, that was for her house? I think it was her house. It was one of their houses. No, that doesn't matter. He goes out to the little island

that he apparently discovered. Owns. He owns. Grandfather welded to it. Oh, you did pay better attention than I did. And he builds a little chupa or a gazebo or something in her honor. And of course, he hears the sea shell winchimes

that she used and he's like, there's life in them they're shells yet. That means there's life in my wife. Yeah, he didn't, he heard them because the dog found them. Yeah, that was the second miracle, the hearing the thing, the first miracle was the dog finding them after them. Oh no, dogs find all kinds of shit, dude.

But the dog had never gone in the water, that's the thing. Oh, so he's like, why are you in the water? You hate swimming and he had to carry him all the time on the boat. Anyway, the point is he rushes to the hospital and lo and behold what the she's awake and she'd been listening the whole time. She was actually heard every word he said. And she stayed flawless, even though she stayed in a bed for that long. And so the choice he made was the right choice,

not to- Well, the point. Full of murder, wife. Fucked up, dude. That would have been like a, like a tale from the crypt. Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

That would be a weird, like, how would you indicate, though? Like, it would just have to be the crypt keeper coming on afterwards, like, she would have woken up the next day. I mean see you later guys. The way you would have indicated is he would have had like cut to her perspective and her like screaming and serving on head. No, no, don't. I'm about to. God. No, I can feel myself waking up. That's like the scariest tales from the Crip I remember seeing when I was little. Do you guys remember that one where it was the priest had the relationship with some woman?

And he like fake killed her and she was given some drugs that she would wake up day later. But then he got put in prison. And so he was supposed to like, or he got knocked out or something and he was supposed to like dig her up. And then she woke up in the coffin and she was like banging on the coffin. Yeah, yeah. What is it? Ginny and Paolo from Lost? Is that a, are those characters that had the same thing?

Where is like a same sort of shit? Like that episode. It was the best episode after the first two seasons of that show. I would argue. Everyone hated that stuff, but I love that weird sales of the credit. Because at that point in that series, everyone was like,

ooh, let's get to the ending of the story. And I'm like, it's gonna be shitty, dude. The ending's just gonna be purgatory, man. Why are you getting so worked up? Just enjoy this weird bottle episode. Actually, I think I was talking about a nightmare in Nome Street. What episode? Are the episode of Freddy's Nightmares,

the TV show. There was a TV show that I was talking about that was either Tales from the Cryptored Nightmare. It could be what about Tales from the Dark Side? Or Night Gallery? I'm sure. What about the new Twilight Zone? No, you know what it was? It was, uh, goose bumps. It was so much glamor than we could have imagined. No, I'm just kidding. I don't remember what it was, but, you know, that's a, do your research, guys.

Hey, this week's challenge, guys, figure out what I was talking about. That's kind of how I feel like all these episodes are. So guys, we should get on to a final judgment spot this movie, whether it was a good bad movie, a bad bad movie, or a movie kind of like, you know what? I've got conflicted feelings, so I'm going to go first. I really don't know how to rate this film, because like, it wasn't good.

I wouldn't say I liked it. I didn't laugh at it. because like, it wasn't good. I wouldn't say I liked it. I didn't laugh at it. But at the same time, like, I actually like watched the whole thing. Like, it was pleasant enough. You did the bare minimum of what our listeners expect out of us. No, but it was like, it was pleasant enough. There was barely any story to it.

Yeah, you can get bored. And like, I wasn't bored. I mean, yeah. No, the main problem with the movie was just like, there was barely enough story for like 20 minutes, let alone two hours. But I mean, like the worst I can say about this movie is I didn't cry.

And like, making me cries, like shooting fish in a barrel, like I really should have like Like if there was gonna be like a tragic romance where at the end like the woman comes out of the coma and everything turns out All right Like I should be in tears by the end and that I didn't come anywhere close to that So I guess it's not a good movie because it didn't do like what it's built to do but at the same time. I didn't hate this film So I just don't know what to hide, I don't know how to rate it. I can't put a name on it. You know, I'm going to say it's a bad, bad movie.

Okay. And I'm going to tie it in with that. A couple days ago we were having a conversation on another podcast with our pal, Jouben, who was talking, uh, for another podcast, Jouben Prang, who was talking about how he watches TV shows at one and a half to two times speed. And of course, we all thought he was a crazy person for doing that. And this was totally, I was thinking,

this is totally the sort of thing you could watch at that speed, and it would be perfect. Like you would zip through it. There's so much filler. There's definitely an attempt to like set a scene or give you a feeling or a longing for an environment. But there's just so little effort to really establish the beauty of these scenes.

Because as I said before, every shot is so tight on things, so it just feels cramped all the time, and it should be way faster. This movie did not need to be nearly this long. So bad, bad movie, from Stuart. So wait, it's bad, bad movie. Good, bad. Bad, or movie, you kinda like.

I think it's a movie I kind of liked. Because I totally agree with you. It was way longer than it needed to be. It was boring in a lot of places. And like the story wasn't ultimately that interesting. But then in those scenes, I was like in. It was like a dog whistle that I never lost interest enough that when those dramatic scenes happened, I was like, I was like, okay, I'm in this. I'm in this with you and I get it. And I felt that when she was like, I heard you the whole time,

I was like, this whole, these two hours just made sense. Now that I know that, I can rest easy. That's why when I came back from the bathroom, because I was using the bathroom at the climax of the movie, Alex, like, she heard him the whole time. She heard him the whole time. So yeah, I kind of like this movie. It was boring for a lot of it. And I was like, I can't believe you're taking this much time.

But I was like, all of the like the heart string episodes or scenes I was like definitely until. Yeah, your heart strings were plucked. They were. They were strong. My heart's so. Okay. So we have kind of a mixed review on the choice. So what's the next part of the spot, Gaston? The next part is we've got a few notes from our sponsors.

I know a little flop house, I was keeping it. Yeah, that's right. The flop house is supported in part by Squarespace, the simplest way to create a compelling website.

You used to sleep on a couple of garbage bags filled with old clothes. Yeah. And this is better than that. What kind of promotion is that? Oh, this is better than sleeping on those spikes that I used to sleep on. Yeah, yeah. You did use to sleep on spikes, I guess, that was what part of your training to be a yogi like dulceme. I slept on a bunch of old, a bunch of old AIDS needles. That's crazy. Why would you do that? I've done that? How did you know there were specifically eights needles? I had them tested and then I still slept on them.

Yeah, that's crazy. You would think that the hospital, that's really responsible. The hospital, you'd think they would just keep them and not take them away.

Yeah, I love to tell you, I feel like we're downplaying how comfortable

the cast for mattresses are by putting them up against the worst things you could sleep. Damning with faint praise. No, these are very... I slept on a cloud once. And I haven't slept on a caster mattress, but I bet it's more comfortable than that cloud. You haven't been on that cloud in a while because you forgot your password. Exactly. That is weird. They go up to have a password to sleep on those. No, I love it.

Now you're probably wondering, hey, Stuart, you're always bugging people. Listen to you. Listen to the flop house. And I do bug you about that. You should listen to the

flop house because it's a great podcast. But I'd also like you to check out another podcast called Why Do You Care? And you can find that on iTunes and wherever other podcasts are found. We'd like to invite you to go check those guys out. It features an American and a Brit. And the Brit in this case has a super-sultery voice, discussing everything from superheroes to romcoms,

to fanfiction. I put emphasis on romcoms because this is the episode about the choice. Will and Katie, those are the hosts, try to figure out what makes media good and why the hell they care so much. If you're interested in another podcast about movies, TV and books, which is a totally original idea that they came up with by themselves, I guess they have a patent on it. So I guess we're going to be paying them royalties. Then you can find them at just by searching why you care at iTunes or anywhere else. So why don't you go check those guys out. And we have one more jumbo tron message today. And I'm going to pull it up on my phone. You're it.

Thanks, I'll love you forever. Last thing, I cheaped out on a gift, so you're entitled to a threesome involving one of the flop house guys. Your choice, I'm impartial. Now, reading that, is that some form of verbal agreement or contract?

Yeah, I guess we're bound to that somehow. No, luckily Elliot Kaylen isn't here, so he doesn't have much of a choice. So I guess we could volunteer Elliot for that, but I guess it's up to Ali's choice. Yeah. So I mean, I guess you get one of the three of us, Dan's probably the best smelling. Thank you.

And he says, what do you do, adventurers? I'm a dragon man. I cast fire on him, it's very good. I addressed the red dragon to say, us, we're the hosts of the Adventure Zone, a podcast about family playing Dungeons & Dragons. Very good synergy. Commit to the bit.

Everybody wear the macros. We host the Adventure Zone to podcasts where we play Dungeons & Dragons together. It's a comedy podcast.

Listeners like you.

Archie is doing something very distracting right now. As he's been doing through the entire podcast, normally Elliott is here and we put Archie in the other room so he doesn't jump up on the most allergic flop house. A allergic? The most delicate flower in the flop house ferment. Whereas Halle is now picking up Archie and nuzzling him. Now Archie is pushing, okay, I don't know, I don't think we necessarily have to marry

this encounter. But it's adorable. Yeah. Yeah, he's a great little kid. And I can't stop kissing him. necessarily, after Mary, this encounter. But it's adorable. Yeah. Yeah, he's a great little kiddy, and I can't stop kissing him. So Dan, what's the next part of this podcast? Well, letters. Letters.

That's what I was saying. From listeners. So letters from listeners. Is the song, Ellie, it would sign if he were here. OK, that's it. Wrap it up. So a point of letters song in the background. I forgot to pick letters. Oh, okay, we're just going to wing it, dude. So we're going to wing it.

And we're going to wing it in part by let's just do the letters that came in during the time that we're recording. The ones that are fresh in my inbox. Wow. Okay, jump in the list. And so I hope they are all directed toward Elliott. We'll answer for him. This is from Pete Lastname with Held, who writes, Peter Barker.

My community K is about the most buzzed about unproduced script floating around in Tensil Town. Catch that kid. My question to each of you is, what child star would you cast to the titular kid? Here's the twist. You can choose a child actor from any era or you can shrink the star of your choice to kid size. Go. So that's question number one. Okay, well that's a tough question normally. Now, Halley, catch that kid is an imaginary movie that we came up with. But I mean, I think you can probably fill in the blanks as to what the narrative contents of catch that kid will be about. You're not a catch a kid. Basically, yeah, I mean, that's, yeah, I mean, you're sharp cookie.

You want him to be like un-catchable? Is that the... I mean, there should be some question as to whether or not the catch will be caught. Okay. So normally, when I'm casting movies, usually you're gonna want to go to a veteran actor, somebody who I know has the chops and can bring charisma in spades. So of course, I'm talking about Angus Grim,

an actor who is now dead. But if he was not dead and I could shrink him, then I would totally go angus scrim. Otherwise, if I'm gonna go with anybody who I've seen as a kid as an actor, I gotta go with that Jonathan Lipnicki from the littlest vampire, and Jerry McGuire, because that kid is super adorable.

Me now? Yeah. Well, I have two choices. One is McColley-Calkan from the Good Sun. Okay. Because he was... That's the best version now. Very devious.

It's hard to catch that kid. And the other is Simba as a kid from the Lion King because he was a lion, so he's like really fast and we're hard to catch him. No, no joke. One of the topics that hasn't been on the Flop Aos Facebook group, which you can check out on Facebook, is a, there's a topic of like the first person that you ever had a crush on,

like first celebrity you ever had a crush on. And I was asking, I like to ask people that when I'm bartending because you know, it's a good icebreaker. It's much better than how often do you floss? It's much, it's much better than what do you, what drink do you want? Yeah, I'll get to that. That's kind of a dead end.

So, but I was asked, I asked some friends that when they're at the bar and one of my friends insisted that her first celebrity crush was Simba. I'm like, fine, okay, like it animated, it's fine. You know, I've heard Disney's Robin Hood and et cetera, et cetera. So that's okay. But then anytime I asked somebody that same question within earshot of her, she would insist on saying, it can be animated, it can be animated.

Yeah. I'm normal. I really am. Symba, JTT did the voice, come on. I think she'll like the JTT version, not when he grew up and became Matthew Broderick. Which one were you talking about? I mean, I was talking about the young one,

but I honestly think either. I mean, ask me later, because I can give you more pains about Simba. But I won't say on air. Okay. So, no spoilers on that one then. And Dan, your catch that kid casting? The young James Stewart.

Oh, young James Stewart, okay. Baby Jimmy Stewart. Okay, so would it okay. Baby Jimmy Stewart. Okay, so would it be an old Jimmy Stewart that has been shrunk down to kid size? No, I think everything, everything actual child Jimmy Stewart, because I wonder whether that child Jimmy Stewart

was still talking like Jimmy Stewart. Yeah. So it's really more of an experiment. Yeah, yeah. Let's just see whether or not, it's not really, I don't, I mean, like casting wise, yeah, sure. Let's just see whether or not it's not really I don't I mean like casting wise. Yeah, sure. He's gonna do a good job. He's Jimmy Stewart. Yeah, exactly. Actors in Hollywood ever. And you're assuming that that was all natural not

trained because a child version of them would have those skills. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I just want to see what that's like. So I know who's gonna to be the kid that gets caught or doesn't get caught is our three answers. Yeah. So the next question is from Ivan Lastname withheld The Terrible, who writes, Hey guys, I recently dropped a terrible jaws reference. We're going to need a bigger mode. Only to learn that my wife of nearly 10 years

had never seen jaws. Since she already knows that I'm a call that she's never watched the science of the lambs, she tried to regain some credibility as a cultured human by describing closing counters of the third kind as having a pickup truck in it, which is accurate. I was duly impressed by her brandishing and detail, so minor no one would try to love with it. Are there details of certain movies which stick with you, despite being entirely unimportant? As I write that out, it occurs to me that every detail I can recall suddenly seems vital. Anyway, I'm grateful for the back catalogs since I sometimes need to listen to something I know I'll enjoy without the taint of Shadonthe or grim satisfaction. Thank you Ivan last name withheld. Well

thanks Ivan. I actually kind of feel the other way like I feel like every little thing that I remember is totally unimportant and I feel silly for remembering it. Yeah. Like what? Oh man, I don't know. Like, woo, I'm trying to think a, oh man, we'll probably just edit this whole section out of the episode. So it makes it sound like I came up with something right on the fly right off the top of the head.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know. There are movies that are unimportant that I remember very well. It's not like I remember a, it's a particular small detail of a great movie so much is like I saw Beastmaster 50 times when I was a kid and some like, these are my ferrets. Or like every time I hear the name Wolfgang, or Wolfgang Amadeus, or Amadeus, I always think of Wolfgang Amadeus from the Muppet Babies cartoon when they go through their family trees

and discover that Ralph's ancestor was Wolfgang Amadeus. The famous composer dog. Yeah, sure. And there are any small details you remember from the day? I don't know if that's really a small detail. I mean, it's pretty integral with a character. How is thinking about it? No, I got it.

Every time, you know how you see young or middle age, or old people have like a bald spotting, or not bald spotting, but like white spotting, where they have like one spotting or not bald spotting but like white spotting where they have like one patch of white hair. I always think about in the peanut butter solution where he climbs up that chute and he sees a ghost and he freaks out and he falls down and he was so scared that all his hair turned white. And that's what I think of every time I think of when I see people who have like those little patches of white hair So you figure it's because of the peanut butter solution Are they saw ghosts

And you see and you're dealing with them, but I want to see a fucking ghost I'm like how do you get one thing? There's a guy that our work who has that Ted Trimper has that, and he, one time I was talking to him about it. I work with this person, but he was like, I just got it when I worked at the show and he was so disappointing because I was like, surely you've had it ever since he saw that ghost.

And he was like, no, just, my life as a ghost is working here and that's when I saw my own reflection. Just get it. Thank you for saying just kidding. I got really scared there for a second. So that has been an example of us remembering things. Yeah. And that has also been an example of what happens when we just answer emails that come in. Yeah, just wing it literally during the period of time

that we're doing the show. Now, what's the next part of this podcast, Dan? The next and final part of this podcast is when we recommend movies. Oh, we're gonna be fast on this, right? Because we're going long. No, no, it's fine. Okay, we're gonna go nice and smooth. We have a short letter segment so we can do whatever we want here, but I mean, I got like a long, I'm just gonna tell the whole story of the movie. If we want to recommend movies that we liked that you should watch, um, this is the place to do it. And let me recommend a movie I watched called Mr. Arcadon. What?

Mr. Arcadon. It's directed by one Orson Wells, perhaps you've heard. Okay. No. Oh, Unicron. Thank you. It's directed by one Orson Wells perhaps you know, okay. No, oh, Unicron, thank you. And It's an interesting movie because it revisits themes from Orson Wells other movies It's kind of like

Citizen Kane in that it's an exploration into what wealthy persons life And it's kind of like the third man, which is not a Orson Wells movie, it's directed by Carol Reed, but he's in it. Orson Wells is in it, and he was said to have input into the screenplay, and Mr. Arcada is based in part on a couple of episodes of the third man radio series.

And so it feels a little bit like third man. It's got the same sort of comic thriller aspect to it. It's filled with Dutch angles, weird grotesques. It's about a man who is employed to look into the past of the titular Mr. Arcotton, played by Orson Wells. Mr. Arcotton claims that he has amnesia, and he wants this fortune hunter, this ruffian to come in and look into his past and see what he can find out about his life before where he is right now. And suffice it to say there are a bunch of surprises, Mr. Arcotton is maybe not playing completely

straight with this man and it's an interesting movie. It's not the best Orson Welles movie, obviously. I mean, it's not Citizen Kane or the Magnetist in Ambracines, but it has a lot of fun. It's not, you know, it's Orson Welles at a more playful sort of, in a more playful bent, but not as good as something like Touch of Evil, but it's certainly worth watching. And there are a bunch of different cuts of it.

There's a very short cut that's in the public domain that's not very good. I watched what I assumed was what's called the Criterion Cut, the one that was put together for the Criterion Edition. It was on Turner Classic Movies, seek out the best cut that you can find, but that's what my recommendation. And the best cuts, the longest cut, or? Yeah, it's about 110 minutes. Okay. Ali, what's your recommendation? You want to go next? Sure. I would say that so my recommendation is I don't know, have you guys seen entertainment?

The Greg Turkington, it's like color in my Tim Heidecker. I haven't. It's really good. I was pretty into it. It's like very... It got really mixed reviews, but that doesn't necessarily. I mean, yeah. I mean, did you watch the comedy that is not...

It's the Tim Heidecker start in it, but I sort of like think of these as like, companion pieces even though they're like, I don't think they were meant to be at all. You're kind of anti-convict, but it's just, yeah. Yeah, and they're both like just so rough. And entertainment is like much rougher, but it's sort of like, honestly. So, I've also been watching Showa,

this like $8 documentary about- You're jumping way around. No, no. Okay. No, it's documentary about- My point about- No, the Holocaust. No, yeah.

So it's this like $8 or like legendary documentary about the Holocaust. And I feel like this is not an apt comparison at all. But I feel like they, no, I made such a bad comparison. I have to walk away from this. But the point is that entertainment is jaw-droppingly uncomfortable. But it is actually very absorbing. And I don't know.

I just never, it was so compelling. And one of those things that you didn't really feel comfortable watching ever. But then I think about so many times after I've watched it. And so yeah, that's what I would recommend. You, I mean, it feels like something that is, like I think the reason that I haven't watched is because it seems like it's either something

that I will definitely connect with or totally not connect with at all. Do you think it's, is it the sort, do you see why people might be polarized by it? I don't know. I mean, it's not something that I, like it's something that like, I don't know. I mean, it's not something that I, it's something that I don't, even recommending it,

it's not something that when I was watching it, I was like, I feel really comfortable watching this or like feel like it's really good. And yet, when you stop watching, you're like, I'm still, haunted by all these images. And some of them were subtle,, some of them were subtle and some of them were like, super graphic, but I don't think it was all just like playing on, you

know, like a, the grotesque or anything. Yeah. And so like, I actually think like, they're, that you, I don't think it's one of the other. I think you can like have really uncomfortable feelings about it and still think it's like very compelling. Okay, that makes sense. Maybe I'll give it a shot. Tonight I'm gonna recommend a movie that I saw I'd already recommended, which, but according

to the flop house recommends Wiki, I have not. But if I'm totally wrong, you can write in and tell me I'm an idiot. I'm gonna recommend a Sam Peckinkenpaw movie called Cross of Iron. It's probably my favorite Sam Pekkenpaw movie. It's his only World War II movie. It's set on the Eastern Front and our heroes are a Ragtag group of German soldiers in World War II. That's interesting.

Yeah, that's theoretically going to be a tough movie to sell. It's from 1977 and it has a great cast. James Coburn, Maximilian Shell, James Mason, David Warner, some really great, some really great old actors. And it tells the story of a, like an ambitious German officer who goes to that front and he is paired up with a veteran squad that's led by this hero, played by James Coburn. And this ambitious officer is desperate to achieve the same honor that this decorated sergeant has won a Cross of Iron, the highest possible honor, although that might be wrong. But he's trying to get a Cross of Iron and in his quest to achieve this honor, he ends up betraying the men under his command. And it's an interesting story of, like, ground level soldiers being betrayed by the people above them.

And it eventually boils down to a massive battle and shootout. And all the, all the the like politicking bullshit, politicking and bullshit just kind of goes out the window. And yeah, it's good cross-viron. All right. Three, well, seven recommendations, six recommend, I don't know how many we got in there. How I got a bunch.

I only meant one. Okay. Okay. You don't have to have the rest of it. So what do we do now, Dan? Well, as you can hear, my voice is going. Yeah, Dan's winding down. Thanks for checking out the show, guys.
