Yeah, so we watched horror movie tonight. But what do we do on this podcast, Dan? For people who are just starting today, never heard an episode of the Flodden. What they've heard, the episode. Or they're like, I love this Vice Land show about whatever it's about. I'm gonna check out the podcast.

Oh, we actually met one of those guys and he was really nice, Elliot. Did we tell you that story? He did. It's ain't sounds that very nice. So what do we do on this podcast? It's a podcast where we watch the best. Established.

Sure. We're shredding water right now. We're keeping it tight Dan. Tighten taught. Come on, like we talked about. We watch a bad movie and then we talk about it. Yep. And we'll movie do we watch? We watched a horror movie which is usually confined to the month of October. Yeah, normally. But it is, escape its bounds, like a vengeful spirit. Made us watch The Boy. Now, is this The Boy? By vengeful spirit, the vengeful spirit was me

because I said, I want to watch The Boy and when other people are like, you know, that movie was kind of successful financially. And it got, not a terrible critical. Not a terrible critical flop. You could just watch it for fun zoes And I'm like dude, I don't have the time. I'm busy as a beaver in a wood factory Little known effort You don't have the time you're turning the flop house into your leisure activity. This is a serious job steward

I know it work. Yep normally it takes me a full 40 minutes to get into character. The Stuart character that you guys have come to know and love. Where I do you do. What's your process? I... To anyone who's just listening for the first time. Stuart's character is kind of the the ultimate party dude. Yeah, yeah. So I... He's rude and he's got two. I put on my overalls two legs at a time like And then I comb my hair

But what are the overalls traps you undo? It depends on if it's formal evening or not Well, since we're recording an episode of a podcast. It's always formal Yeah, a little sling shot hanging out of the back pocket of those overalls Yeah, and in the other pocket a bunch of peanut M&Ms to use in that slingshot. So when people are having a bad day, I just shoot one of those in the mouth. But to make their day worse, to kill them, they choke on on peanut M&Ms. Especially if they got a peanut allergy.

Yeah, I say choke that one down with a smile. That's the new epine and M&M slogan. M&M, choke that one down with a smile. Yeah, you know there's talking things that people eat in the commercials. M&M's. Yeah. You know the big one that's kind of the dumb guy because I guess he's fat.

Yeah, I don't know who does his voice. I think Billy West does the other one. Well, we're at M&M. We'll choke that guy down with a smile. Um, well, we're at him in the next episode. Choked that guy down with his wife. Okay. Now we watched this movie, The Boy. Did we watch the 2015 horror movie, The Boy? No, we watched the 2016,

oh, it's 2013, watch the 2016 horror movie, The Boy. Directed by William Bell. What's the difference? You started reading the Wikipedia episodes, the 2015. It turns out they're not actually as different as this seems. The 2015 one is about a young boy with a, who has lost his mother and his dad is checked out of reality.

And so the boy is like a budding serial killer. Whereas this one, this one is the one directed by William Brent Bell, who also directed Flapphouse Fave, the Devlin side. And by Fave, I mean, we hate it. Oh, enormous. That was, again, a huge success. The only movie I've ever seen where instead of giving you the ending of the movie, they say, go check out this website for more information.

Oh, shit, that's the one. Yeah, that must be the least visited website in the history of the internet. Even less visited than, unfortunately, PenguinFarts.com. You see, one of my many venues. Dan, I'm surprised you don't remember because we were interviewed. What are you doing? Sorry, I dropped a metal I dropped a metal coaster. A roller coaster.

What? Not an original wooden coaster. No, no, metal one. Man, I don't, I don't care for these metal coasters like King Deca, Nitro. I don't know. Madusa. Madusa, sure. Great American street.

Batman arrived. Yeah, Batman's a ride. Yeah, don't forget Green Lantern. That's the name The right. Yeah, don't forget green lantern. That's the name of the roller coaster is don't forget green lantern. When are they going to make bad man the ride the movie? That's what I want to know. I mean, properties out there. Yeah, I mean, all those other super successful roller coaster based movies.

Yeah. I mean, there's plenty of successful theme park ride based movies prior to Caribbean. I heard the Caribbean two parts of a Caribbean three country bears country bears It's a small world the movie that's one way the movie keep the world is shrinking and a bunch of kids from around the world Have to stop it and also that French kid who sings the it's Christmas Say no well, Mr. Toad's wild ride turned into 50 shades of gray It's a loose adaptation. So the devil inside was a different movie.

We were interviewed about it on the planet money, a planet made entirely of money. Plan it, we took our interview and were like, these guys are in the wall. The road in the garbage. And it is a... That's what they did with my audio. Well, you did not appear in it.

I think I just have like, you can see on my presence. Yeah, exactly. Much like the presence of the boy, yes, Stewart. They just used my like dumb gaffal in the background. My like Ed McMahon hype man laugh. But that was what made the sound bite. That's true. Now, the boy, let's talk about it, shall we?

This is a horrorful film. It's a horror, yeah. It's full of horror and terror. So the movie opens with a horror film. It's a horror, yeah. It's a horror and terror. So the movie opens with a smash cut. A movie arrest. Nope, it opens quite a great telemaca. There's a girl named Greta who's played by someone

from the Walking Dead. Let's call her TW dead. And as for real name. And she's from Montana. She's fleeing an abusive relationship with a guy named Cole. Ladies, let me just stop her there. If you meet a guy named Cole, do not date him. Yeah, unless he is grifter from Wildcats.

Or Cole Hauser, the actor. And even then, I'm not totally sold on him. Yeah, yeah. If his name is Cole, unless he's... In order of dateable Cole's, you have Cole Hauser. He's in the middle, up above him, you have Cole Cash from Wildcats, they can't agree. And below that, Cole Hauser, he's in the middle, up above him you have Cole Cash from Wild Gats,

they can't agree. And below that, Cole Slaw, if he is like a bunch of man-a-z cabbage slices, go ahead, knock yourself out, eat it up. One of my, eat that man like he's pizza the hut. What about like a ranch hand named Cole with a cigarette dangling from his lips? Nope.

He's too shakily. Check the categories, Dan. Not to be able to tame him. And he doesn't fit into one of those categories. Cole. Nope. Do it. Do it. Check the categories. You're not going to be able to tame him. And he doesn't fit into one of those categories. Cole is a bad news name. It's right up there with like a slade. If you meet a guy named Slade or a guy named Python, do not date them.

If you meet a guy named Viper or a guy named Sharktooth, don't date them. Yeah. Once again, you're living in adventures and babysitting probably. If you meet a guy named... Just get in the jazz band club or whatever and play the blues. If you need a guy named Cole Slade Tooth, I don't care how charming he is on the first date. Yeah. By the fifth date, he will be chasing you through to band and house with a hammer in his hand,

shouting, bed time, bedtime or something like that. That's an interesting direction that you went with him that he's like a weird serial killer person instead of just an abusive boyfriend person. Oh no, he'll be, I mean, he'll most likely be somewhere in the town. Yeah, you want a guy who can be both, right? You want a man who can do both. Serial killer in the sheets and a abusive boyfriend. In the streets.

Yep, that's the worst of all worlds. So Greta is taking a job at an English manor house. She's from Montana, she's an American y'all, and she's never been to England before. She's never even met an English person before. And she's taking a job as the Opaire, slash nanny, slash governess of a- She's playing, she's pulling her reverse Mary Poppins.

Uh, and that she's not made of magic. That she's a non-magical American nanny. And then the boy has possibly some magical properties, I guess. A more of a Mary Flopkins, if you will. Any who I won't. She's taking this job and she finds herself at first in a house that appears to be abandoned until a plucky young grocer named what William, no Wallace, something like that. William Wallace. And William Wallace no Wallace, something like that. William Wallace.

And William Wallace tells her that freedom is important. But anyway, this charming young grocer says, oh, I come here once a week to this kind of isolated country house to put slanted up the groceries. You're going to be taking care of Brahms. He's the kid here. Then the parents show up. And then- Even before that, like he explains that she she's gonna be taking care of Brahms and then he's like, I'm not gonna go into that. Instead, I'm gonna tell you about how I'm a fucking psychic by reading people's chewing gum.

He's being charming. He's too, oh okay. He's doing a little, what I would call the flirtato, which is like a flirtatious potato. And the best way to flirt with a lady is to get her spittle all over your hands in the form of chewing gum. It shows that you're not afraid of intimacy, Dan.

Yeah. Because what's for the germs? Yeah, exactly. What we might as well have sex, I've already got your germs on my hands. What lady could say no to that logic? Just a lot, basically, a crazy town song. Yeah.

Ha, ha, ha. The parents show up, and there's something a little off about them, and it soon turns out that Brahms is actually a ceramic doll That the parents seem to be convinced is a live boy and they give her all these rules You got to play with them. You can't leave them alone. You got to make a meals You got to kiss them and tuck them in good night You got to dress them in as PJs and you got to dress them in as clothes

Make sure to empty out the rat traps and empty out the rat traps. You can't waste food You might get rats in the walls if you don't empty out the rat traps. And it's not gonna be fun, like the Lovecraft story rats in the walls, where there's some kind of unspeakable horrors, right? The way in between dimensions. They love craft, they used to town them as laugh-a-minute

Lovecraft. You'll chuckle, your sides will spin. You're gonna love his craft. A hilarious person, Lovecraft. That's his name his craft. Well, hilarious person love craft. Yep. That's what his name, yeah. Indescribably funny, if you would say. These are Cyclopian jokes. Yep. A lot of racist jokes though.

A lot of racist stuff. It would not stand up today. You got to understand at the time. He was still pretty racist. Yeah, but he had a thing with his mom. Very stated home. Speaking of staying at home, so Brahms is going to stay there. You guys are going to stay there with Brahms.

Yeah, Brahms staying there. He's a fucking doll. The doll, he's not going anywhere. He's a creepy-looking doll with like very pale skin. It's like, you imagine this is like Tim Burton's my buddy, doll from when he was a kid. Like just a creepy, spooky little doll. Mm-hmm. Or his wrestling buddy.

Yeah, possibly sure. His real life wrestling buddy today. He always wins. The parents leave, we're going to have him. It's been so long since he went on a holiday. Bye bye, ta-ta-da-da-da-da. Be sure to play Brahms' music very loud. He loves his music and Greta's like,

these people are crazy, but they're gonna pay me a bunch of money to watch a doll. This is the life, just like that weird out song. Suspiciously sad for people going on holiday. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, they're sad because they're leaving their little baby boy Brahms, dude. I felt that way when I've left Sammy behind.

Sammy the doll that I pretend is a baby that is. Yeah, we've been knowing just how he's about that. What, oh no, he know he's a doll. Oh, okay. So much easier to take care of than a real baby. Sometimes I just forget I have a baby for days, aren't I? Yeah, and porcelain is way easier to clean up when it gets poop all over it.

Yeah, and it's my poop. So it's like, I got no one to blame about myself. I can't get mad about it. Yeah, and your poop's super easy to clean up. Yeah, because of what I don't know that. I have a diet of mostly clean foods. It makes it very easy to clean up. Yeah, because of what I don't know that. I have a diet of mostly clean foods. It makes it very easy to clean up later. Yeah, mainly voile.

And most of it comes out in my pellets that I cough up. I eat various soaps, decorative soaps. Just to make sure my poop's the cleanest it can be. I get soaps shaped like food. Yeah. Because really all your stomach understands is shape. It's all about texture. Your stomach is blind. I mean, come on.

You can't see the food. You can't smell it. Your stomach doesn't have a nose. Eyes are the window to the stomach. Am I right? Your head is designed wrong. Unfortunately, Greta is like, I'm just going to put this doll in a corner with a blanket over it. You can't like a normal person. And I'm going to, oh, Malcolm, that's the guy. I'm going to floor with Malcolm. You leave your normal person sitting in a chair with a blanket over it.

Yeah, and she goes, I'm gonna go on a date with Malcolm. She's taking a shower, unless she's in the shower. Strange things are happening. Her dress disappears. Her necklace. Her necklace disappears. And she finds that the attic, but she couldn't open before, is now open.

In her towel, she creeps up with a whale harpoon in her hand that was leaning against the wall. And the door slams shut. She's trapped in the attic. She misses her date. And she gets scared by something and falls and knocks herself out. Now, if I see an attic door open, I'm just gonna leave that towel on, you know, because like that towel is way thicker than any clothes she would probably be wearing. Yeah Yeah, my chain. That's like fucking body armor, dude. Why close the attic and leave when you can go investigate?

Because you're one of the mystery machine gang. Mm-hmm. She finds, Is that a bunch of robots that solve mysteries? Yeah, let's just say it's more, that's more interesting than what it actually is. So yes. But weird things start happening around the place.

A peanut butter jelly sandwich appears for her. There were weird phone calls from a child's voice and she's like, she sees the doll's legs walking underneath the crack in the door under her bedroom door. It's like, ah, ah, ah, and meanwhile. There's like shadows that appear behind her. There's shadows and things like creepy stuff and creaks and all sorts like there's

something in the house with her and you think it's a ghost because it's doing lots of ghost stuff. Yeah. Meanwhile, this is something that she doesn't learn until later but the movie decides to tell us now for purposes of suspense. The parents have left a good buy letter for Brahms and then they put fill their pockets with rocks, rock pockets we call them. And then just walk into the ocean until they're grounded and dead.

Yep, they try to walk on the water, step on the stove shore, flesh becomes water, wood becomes bone. What is this? To the wet sprocket, dog, my favorite band. Yeah, good need to tell, the way I say that. As if you were feeling through a dark room for a light switch that wasn't there, yeah, that was very, that was actually done. So Greta starts to believe, there's a ghost around here and she kind of gets Malcolm to

believe it too. She invites him over and she shows him that the doll, when they leave the room, moves to somewhere else. And Malcolm says, when this kid was alive, the sun had died. They had a real sun. He died years ago. Now they get to go in a fire. In a fire. Before he died in this fire, he had a playmate over.

Some little girl was ahead of play date with him. And she was found in the forest with her skull crushed. And before this odd kid could be investigated, there was a fire he died. And now they think that the ghost is in there, bump, bump, bump. And it takes. It goes like to live in dolls. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, it's comfortable. Look at fucking Chuck, you man. Yeah. And Annabelle. Annabelle, yeah. Which one was Annabelle from? From the conjuring. And then the spin-off movie Annabelle. Yeah. Annabelle rising. Annabelle from from the conjurant and then the spin-off movie Annable. Yeah. Annabelle rising.

I don't want to hear one more fucking word about Hannibal rising. I'm just saying it's the undiscovered gem of the Hannibal series. Finally, he knows his backstory. I will give you $500. If you can tell me who played Hannibal Lecter in fucking Hannibal Rising. It was. Is that how using your phone? His name was Hannibal the actor. No, who was it? I don't even remember anymore.

It was a so young guy. Stuart's very bitter about this because we did the pub quiz at Max Funcom, led by Mr. John Hodgman and it was the one thing I should be able to do and we had to list the four actors who have played Hannibal Lecter. You can only do three of them. Yeah, Max, of course the best Anthony Hopkins and Striker. Yep, Striker. That's how he likes his family to refer to him. That X-Men 2 was really where he felt like he came to someone. So Brian Cox, Brian Cox family's like, Dad, he's like, don't call me dad. Call me striker. Call me striker.

I forgot his name is Brian Cox, which is strange since I've seen him in a play. We don't talk about that. It was called Rock and Rolls, Tom Stopper play. Anyway, so they're convinced there's a ghost round here and everything seems to be kind of fine. She follows the rules. She plays with this doll. The ghost is happy. everything seems to be kind of fine. She follows the rules. She plays with this doll The ghost is happy and they're kind of a family now and she reveals that

This she has this boyfriend Cole who she had to get away from who's kind of abusive. She had become in gas bar Uly. Oh is who plays Uly. Yeah, it's something like that gas bar Uly something. It sounds like the French waiter in a cartoon for kids. Sounds like the full name of a horror host who goes by Guglio. Yeah, I could see that. Or Guglio would also be what Guglio and Halloween. Yeah, it's when the Guglio's Italian cousin come to visit them in college.

Guglio is what Guglio's name would be in the credits of a Simpsons Halloween episode. If he was like a animation supervisor on the Simpsons, there's some alternate universe words. Yeah, he's an animation supervisor for film romance. I like that. And he's just named Guglio in the first. The version of reality, even though he works at a cartoon show, he still calls himself

Cuglio in Hollywood. That was his birth name. Yeah. Very Kool-A-O. Yeah. Well, if it's his last name, it's much more believable. Yes, sure. So everything's Kool-A-O Jones.

And Greta believes, Kool-A-O Jones, Greta believes that because she was pregnant and had a miscarriage, that she was meant to take care of this ghost child. And so everything happens for a reason, blah, blah, blah. Until Cole shows up, bump, bump, bump. Cole, how's her the actor? No, we wish. Okay.

It's Cole, her ex-boyfriend, who is just as... Cole, the rock, the way. I've no smell, they're probably, it was Cole the rock, they'd be like, great, this would be useful for warming the house. The rock. Wait. I have no smell. They're probably. It was cold. The rock. They'd be like, great. This would be useful for warming the house. Mm-hmm.

Or giving bad children like Brahms for Christmas. Yeah. Just kidding. He's a great kid. Now, here's the thing I'm going to talk about before we get to Cole's entry, because they were already in act three of this movie. There's not a lot of plot in this movie. For most of this movie, I think we're supposed to sympathize with Greta because she's scared

and doesn't know what to do. She's just a normal young American out of the town. She was hired to do a job. Take care of this child doll. And she does not do it for a while. And as is his right as the employer, Brahms complains in the only form he knows how. Locking her in the attic.

And giving her peanut butter sandwiches. And giving her peanut butter sandwiches. And you know what? Lesson learned. She does her job. So take that millennials butter sandwiches, and you know what? Lesson learned, she does her job. So take that millennials. If someone pays in to do something, you give it 110% so that that goes to happy.

She's like, oh no, I'm bored, I can't get internet service. We'll do your job, dude. Hey, you know where? Do your job is never boring. Exactly. You know what makes a job most interesting when you do it with enthusiasm,

and you give 110% because you're the one making that job boring. The job's not boring. You got to find your joy in the work. You got to love the work. Yeah. Have you cleaned out all the traps outside and made sure there's no rants in them? Because here's what you can do. Oh, gross. I don't want to clean traps. Florats. Hey, there's 17 traps on this house. Let's see how many rats we can collect in them. Let's see how fast we clean them out. Make a little game out of it, you know? Yeah, yeah.

Make a dooster. Pretend you're, I don't know, a member of the Cleveland basketball stars. No. Who just won the Super Bowl? I don't know. And you're trying to dribble the most dead rats, I'm a tramp, yeah.

Let's, okay, you don't want to give Brahms his bath because he's just a doll. You know what? Use your imagination. Maybe Brahms his bath because he's just a doll. You know what? Use your imagination. Maybe Brahms isn't a doll taking a bath. Maybe he's in a submarine. And you're the captain. I got to tell you, you might not want to give Brahms a bath.

He is way more embarrassed than you are. He doesn't want you to see his little horse in the weenie. Because he is very anatomically correct. Oh, he's very uncertain. He's terrified. You're going to break that thing off the whole time. Exactly. Because you're washing it much too violently.

We'll use me care for it. You're paying a little too much attention to that. I know you're trying to get in all the crevices, but still, let's give it a rest. Yes, I get it. It's really vain. Some people are into that, dude. But it's just, look, it's a work of art.

Let's just take all the sexual element away from it. It's a work of human expression of the most beautiful thing in the universe, the human body. Yeah, just ask. The human being. The most beautiful thing in the universe. The least goofy piece of sexual organs, the human penis, which is essentially a droopy wind sock

that occasionally gets caught in a very high winds. Let me say that at least goofy, not least Gonzo, because it reminds me of Gonzo's, it is called the D, not least Gonzo, because it reminds me of Gonzo, so it's all the time. Like Gonzo. In fact, Gonzo the great was originally called penis face, the great, until children's television workshops

said to Jim Hansen, you can't call on that. And he's like, you don't control me, you only do Sesame Street. This is the Muppet Show, a show for adults. And me and my new producer, Ralph Bakshi, are gonna make it this way. And Ralph Bakshi's like, hmm, how do I fit more genitals into this show? Anyway.

So that's the untold story of the Muppet Show. So the lesson of all that is one, Gonzo's face has a penis on it. And not a penis shaped like an umbrella handle like many of them are. And two, if you get a job, do the job and learn to love the market. And two, if you get a job, do the job, I learn to love the job. Yeah. Because you know what's going to impress your employer, a ghost doll, doing the job. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to get extra, I don't know, an ectoplasm for that or whatever. Yeah, that's something you can do with somewhere. Yeah, I'll score it into a little beaker that you can, I don't know, trade at the market. I mean, it's basically just cheese cloth that you regurgitate.

You spray it all over a toaster and make a dance to, you know, your love lifted me higher. I was trying to think of the Jackie Wilson. You will go spusters to ghosts, spusters, ghost, spusters. Now, you may think they need a ghost buster in this movie and Cole is the man to bust that ghost because he ain't afraid of no ghost

and clearly, busting makes him feel good. Nothing else does, he's a real sad sack. Unfortunately. He likes to play pool or snooker. Or they also call it snooker, yeah. A word that always makes me think of Gonzo for some reason. Okay.

So Cole is there, she's freaked out. He's like, can I stay over? He sleeps over. And while he's sleeping. He's like, oh, cool doll. Cool doll, what's this crap? She's like, that's Brahms. He's like, whatever babe, oh, blah, he sleeps over. And while he's sleeping. He's like, oh cool doll. Cool doll, what's this crap? She's like, that's Brahms. He's like, whatever babe, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And so while he's sleeping blood drips down on him, he looks up, it says get out in blood above him. And he's like, Greta, did you do this, did it? Malcolm to keep an eye on the situation has been sleeping in this car outside. Or did you do it? What's going on?

And Greta's like, Brahms did it. He's like, don't tell me this doll did it. This stupid doll, and he takes the doll and he smashes it. Uh-oh, suddenly the world's starting to like that. No, Brahms is not exposed like it's in scanners. Mm-hmm. If the guy in scanners had smashed the other guy's head against a chair.

Yeah. Brahms, suddenly they're shaking all over the walls, and you think, oh, they're just doing the stuff from the original, the Haunted, or the or the haunting nope.

Because you know that new twist, you've been looking more listen to this, holds up phone. It turns out. It's your cousin be nice. There's 26 of us 26 night shamalans from a to z. It's your cousin Joe Henry. That's oh Henry's cousin. Oh, okay. You know that gift you've been looking for for your match. I will read this because there's no audio recording technology yet.

Although I guess actually like the grandma phone had been invented at that point. Check out this back cylinder idiot moron. They have a weird relationship. Joe Henry and O Henry. Yeah, I mean, Joe Henry was always pretty mad that the candy bar he invented was named after his more famous cousin. Oh. And oh, Henry was mad that his book, The Story of O, didn't have a twist ending. It was just his real life sexual exploits.

He couldn't think of a twist for it. What's that book? Isn't James Durber book where the letter O? The Story of O? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. The drawing James Durber did with The story of O? Yeah, it's right. Oh, yeah. The drawing James Snerver did with the story of O are very disturbing.

Just these lumpy bald men and women becoming sex slaves to each other. And there's a dog in there for some reason. Anyway. So the seal. So then while starts shaking, the whole part starts quaking. The response quaking.

My mind was aching. Your brain starts shaking just like in that size noodle song. And suddenly you think there's a ghost that's about to tear the house down no wrong something burst through the wall. It's Brahms what he didn't die in the fire. He's not a ghost. He is a grown man wearing a little ceramic boy face mask over a very full beard, which is really cool, creepy effect, who has been living in the walls of this house for decades, being fed and taken care of by his parents. And they left, they left finally because they couldn't bear to take care of this monster

anymore. And they tricked this girl into showing up to be like a sacrifice to Brahms, saying, like, here, you can have her. We're going to leave now and kill ourselves at a guilt shame horror at trauma. I don't know. Maybe they just like swimming with rocks. Yeah, just like that Kim Spacey movie swim with rocks about how they just like swimming with rocks. They're like, see you later. We're gonna go find Dory today.

Hey. Brahms chases them around the house. And this is where the movie, after having, what I thought was a pretty neat twist. To be honest, I didn't see that twist coming. That Brahms was still them around the house, and this is where the movie, after having, what I thought was a pretty neat twist. To be honest, I didn't see that twist coming. That Brahms was still alive in the house and was just kind of like a crazy murder man. But here's the problem, is that when he's not supernatural,

he's just a greasy guy with a mask on, and they are constantly hitting him in the head and kicking him in the face, and he falls down, and they run away. He catches up to them, they kick him in the head, again, he falls down. He falls down as. He falls down as. He falls down and they run away. He catches up to them, they kick him in the head again, he falls down. He falls down. He's easily as someone who has been living in a wall

for all of his life would fall down. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't get enough vitamin D. Yeah, that's the right one. Dan. Yeah. That's what you get from the sun. And it's, if they've made a point of being like, like the delivery guy had some kind of a like a physical

ailment. Yeah, I think that maybe he had polio. Maybe that'll limp. I mean polio has essentially been eradicated. Okay, but yeah, what if he had it? Wouldn't that make me think? I mean, he would be like 70 years old. Yeah, so that guy would have a tough time defeating Brahms.

And also winning over this young one on the States. He's young, no. It would be like a real, uh, it would take a lot of bubblegum. Mr. Rochester. Mr. Rochester was a handsome young man. He had a, just because he had a crazy wife

and the act doesn't mean he wasn't a catch. Spoiler alert, which is actually kind of crazy wife is not that different from normal. I guess so. And also I know by saying crazy wife, I'm looking at through the lens of a white imperialist colonialist. From her point of view, she's just trying to get back home.

Thanks for checking your privilege, Elliot. I appreciate it. And what is your privilege? Oh, it's very nice. Thank you. Or did you mean Rochester, Jack Benny's assistant, the Jack Benny show? I wonder. No, he's also a catch.

He was in movies, TV, the radio, like a 40, 50 year career. Anyway, Brahms chases after them, they find his evidence basement. He kills Cole. He kills Cole's the first person you should kill in any kind of a situation. I mean, at this point Brahms is the hero of the film.

Yeah. He has been a great manager. Yeah. He got Greta to do what the job he needed to do just through like a little spooky stuff, not through yelling at her, not through docking her pay. Just kind of like psychological management. Like that's good, man.

A little bit of negative reinforcement, but a ton of positive reinforcement. Yeah, that's true. She got a little bit of, hey, you're not doing the job. I'm gonna call you and I'm gonna talk to you and a baby voice over the phone. Yeah. You're doing the job?

You know what? Hey Collins, Vasca Ball's Bobby Knight. I'm taking a lesson you in a baby voice over the phone. Yeah, you're doing the job. You know what? Hey college basketball's Bobby Knight. Take a lesson on a Brahms book. Your players aren't behaving well. Give them a little key knee and jam. Yeah, see your jammage. Don't sneak around in the walls a little bit. Don't throw a chair at them.

Give them a sandwich, go to the walls, and wait for them to do the job of playing B ball. Which could also mean baseball, but it doesn't. It always means basketball. People say base B when they mean baseball. It's all the difference. They bronze chases them around for a while. I want to watch that time. So like movie, Mr. Baseby.

If you like, wait, is he like an English gentleman? You're like, no, he's a basebie player. What is the opposite? He is an American loud who is having trouble with all these Japanese social customs. It's a story, basically, Berkeley. Yeah, the greatest choreographer in Hollywood history. So Greta escapes, Malcolm gets beat up, Greta goes back with a screwdriver and she tricks Brahms. He's about to attack her and she goes, Brahms, it's bedtime.

I said it's time for bed and he gets into bed and she is forced to give him his goodnight kiss on his mask And he's all about it. And he is grabbing her too much And she stabs him with a screwdriver and eventually kills him after almost getting killed by him. Yeah, and She and Malcolm who's still alive escape, and last we see his Brahms repairing his doll He survived and the doll has seen somebody repairing the doll. Yeah, maybe it's cool. Yeah. Or maybe it's the actual, maybe it's the ghost who was living in the house the whole time. Yeah. But it felt like he couldn't show himself because Brahms was sucking up all the oxygen

with his antics. Yeah. That's probably it. So that's the story of the boy. Let's hear it for the boy story. Yeah, I got a lot of stuff to talk about. So when I thought I was about to watch a movie with a doll man in it, I'm like, where's Brick Bardot? And where are the demonic toys? Where are the demonic toys? Where are the creations of Mad Adventure Andre Toulon? Now, Stewart, you really wanted to watch this movie.

What were your expectations and were those expectations met exceeded or disappointed. Um, so I want to watch this movie and to be honest, I kind of knew the twist already. What? I think somebody had spoiled it on some social media. There's no point in watching this movie. That's why we ruined it for all these people. Because I thought it would be a fun, stupid movie to talk about and watch with you guys, because you're my best friends. Oh, that's very sweet.

But the as far as meeting my expectations, my expectations were met. I was not expecting a second act that was a lot of our of Greta, like carrying around Brahms and treating him like a little baby boy. That was great. I love that. And I wish that they had made Brahm scarier at the end. He was really interesting to look at, but he didn't have enough, like I expect him to have weapons. You know, if you have a masked crazy strong guy, you expect them to have a, like,

a menagerie of killing implement. He should have like boy themed weapons, like a really big rattle. You have boys, Gary Riddles are happy. Are Olaali. You're not a parent, are you? Olaali that he suffs down people's throats. Yep, he puts a propeller beanie on his head and he cuts people up like it's a lawn mower blade. Let's say it's more like it's a toy truck

that has, maybe it's like a toy digger or a crane or something and it's got spikes on it so he like can stab people with it. Or just a giant digger thing. Yeah, or it's got spikes on it so you like can stab it with it. Or just a giant digger thing. Yeah, or it's a real truck. I found it was one of those things where I thought the twist when it first was shown was a pretty good twist. I was like, I didn't see that coming.

And you know what, that's a neat twist and it explains everything, I guess. I still don't know. I guess they had two phone lines in the house. That's the only thing that kind of bugged me. But then once it was revealed, it was like, oh, it's gonna be a lot easier for them to escape this than it would be to escape a ghost. Yes, as far as the twist goes, there was a, there's a previous Stewart Flop House movie recommendation

that I'm not going to mention because I don't want to ruin the twist of that movie you should watch. Over. But that, that movie managed to introduce the twist and then continue making it interesting and scary despite the fact that like the big twist has been revealed. Yeah. I would say that's compared to like the devil inside. This was a it was not particularly yeah like not a particularly good movie but much better. I think we're in it. We should go to Final Judgment. Oh sure, okay. Final Judgment. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do I wish it was good enough that I wished it was better than it was. There's a couple of good jump scares in it. It gets really slow and dull in the second act.

But that's the stuff I liked when she's caring for the boy. Oh, I love that stuff. I just wish it was more interesting than it was. And it's just kind of like a blah, like mediocre move. Maybe if they played up more her motherhood issues stemming from her miscarriage or something. Yeah, like I wish the movie had for a movie that should be super creepy. It was not as creepy as it could.

Yeah, I kind of like to too. It was an hour 40. It probably should have been an hour 20. Like it was an 80 minute movie. I would have liked it a lot. Yeah, me too. 80 minute movies are the best. Yeah, make it 20 minutes, 20 minute movie.

Make it sick. Come on, come on, Peter Jackson, give me a 20 minute movie. But it like, it wasn't, I wouldn't recommend it, but I wouldn't be like, what a piece of garbage. It was like, it was better than I thought I was going to be. Considering it is about, I thought it was going to be about a ghost doll. The way of the samurai. And frankly, it would have been a better movie if there was no supernatural stuff in it. If it was like, I mean, there weren't, wasn't a supernatural stuff. But I mean, no, no, like, add the ordinary, fantastic elements, like a man living inside

the walls of the house. If it was just this, these people have hired her to take care of this doll as if it's child. They don't leave. They stick around and she finds herself slowly falling under the same psychosis there under where this doll is becoming real to her because she's play acting that it's real so much like that would be a creepy movie to me.

Yeah, well, I mean, it's like in House of the Devil how the first two acts are super, super creepy because it's just a woman like walking around a creepy old house. Yeah, and the first time you see that shadow move under that door and you know there's someone else in the house, that's one of the scariest moments of any movie, I think. But it's like, I would have breathed, and then like, she and the parents will get into a fight over who gets to have this child. Because she feels like the mother of the child. And okay, that's the movie I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna call it the boy. Because there's already like a dozen movies called The Boy. So that title is up for good. Yeah, you call it The Boy, the next generation. I mean, that title's up for grabs. I mean, that title's up for yeah. Yeah. You call it the boy, the next generation. I mean, that title's a bit more than that title's up for grabs. And what she's on the enterprise was John Luke. Yeah, yeah, not John Luke Picard.

John Luke the waiter from the T commercial. So sure, John Luke. What was it, coffee commercial? I don't know, man. But the thing is, John Luke is still going to say make it so, right? Oh, of course, but he's doing that actual sewing. He's got a sewing machine that's broken and he takes it to the fix it's say make it so, right? Oh, of course, but he's talking about actual sewing. He's talking about a sewing machine that's broken

and he takes it to the fixed shop and he goes, make it so. Think of half, because you're a woman, and you're a gay man, and we're both black.

blue apron delivers seasonal recipes along with pre-portioned ingredients to make delicious home cooked meals. That means they send you the ingredients. Now you've used this product before, right Dan? I have. And as a single guy, normally the best option is to just go get some food from the closest

place and shovel that shit in your mouth. Yeah. So you don't even taste it. Yeah. Because all it's going to taste like is bitterness. Yeah, you're just so fucking sad. But instead, it's getting too real right now. But instead, Blue Apron, it's all that because you're blue because you're so lonely.

Yeah, da da da da da. Yeah. No, you're right. The usual option is to like, I don't know, chop up some sausages and just some ramen and eat it on top of the stove. Yeah, and by sausages, they are, Borset hot dogs.

Well, you just said is way more work than I ever did as a bachelor to eat anything. This is my bachelor meals. I mean, they're taking out Chinese food and my Chinese food is usually fried chicken with rice from the Chinese potato place. It's not even real tasty. It tastes of the orient.

I mean, I'm boiling spaghetti with nothing on it. Or I'm eating hot dogs without buns. That's my bachelor life. I mean, I think of the sad part of it. If Louis Pran had existed when I was a bachelor, I might not have dropped down to a dangerous way. And sad part is the part where I'm eating above the sink, rather than This side part is the part where I'm eating above the sink rather than

Fathering to walk into the next room to have my dinner. Why dirty a plate, you know Just put the garbage can between your legs Just eat above the toilet, but now you don't need to do that because you have Louis Pran and they portioned out for you Because I know when I try to cook the thing I hate is trying to do measurements I can't eyeball it that well and they portioned it out for you. Because I know when I try to cook, the thing I hate is trying to do measurements. I can't eyeball it that well. It says like a pinch of something. I don't know what that means. It drives me crazy.

Yeah, yeah, you're like my hand, Sammy's hand, Daniel's hand. Well, kind of pinch. They need like some kind of crab man monster. Mm-hmm. But you just take the container and dump it in. Yeah. Because they give you the amount you need.

Just give you a sample of some of the meals that are available in June. You got spicy Korean rice cakes with snow peas and pea shoots. That sounds pretty good. Sweet chili palm-zoo catfish and green beans with coconut ginger rice and a New England style salmon rolls with roasted potatoes and chives and chives guys. Chives on top of it. Here's an idea. You say, I don't need someone to cook my food for me. Well, do you know anyone who is expecting a child? They're not gonna have time to cook for themselves

when that baby's born. So get them some blue-yped meals so that they can have half of it taken care of. They don't have to shop, they don't have to measure things out. A friend of ours did that for me, a friend Justin, and it was really helpful. I appreciate it. I don't think I ever sent him a thank you,

Alana, Erky, Fufruck, Kof, Mala, and Pymder. Okay. And they say, Sounds like a Motley crew. It's from Motley crew. They say whether we're infiltrating a fantasy high school,

fighting a giant guitar playing robot that transforms into a train, or just getting the shit kicked out of us in an alleyway, your quick wit, funny voices, and storytelling genius are with us all the way. Thanks for being the best DM love can buy. The Zingga and that's for Stan from a lot of Ricky. We broke a cough. Mullen Pim drama. I want to thank you guys for making me say my least favorite word in the universe.

And I want to thank Dan for assigning this jumbo tron message to me because he's the one who knows that I hate that word. That's the word. As I said, it's called good producing. I'm creating conflict for the purposes of drama. Let's just, I want to go on the record if I haven't before, that Bazinga is my least favorite word. It's not real.

It's a dumb past. It's like pasta or something in Italian, right? Who even knows? And I never forget the moment it first confronted me when I was walking to work past a New York souvenir shop. And then the window was a t-shirt with a picture of Jim Parsons on it that just said, Bazinga, and big letters underneath. And I was like, am I supposed to know what the fuck that means?

If it's on a t-shirt, there's an understanding that I'm going to see someone wearing it on the street and be like, I get it, Bazinga, dude. It should be about stupid and whether or not you're with him. Thank you, because that will warn me if the person are with his stupid and I should avoid them. Yeah, it should be an indicator whether or not the person you are looking at is a member of a co-ednigid volleyball team. I don't know if that guy... Whether they're accredited to inspect female bodies.

I don't know if that guy has a beer belly or a fuel tank for a party machine. And a shirt's not a tell me. Which one is the man and which is the legend? This is what I need to know. D-shirts help me out. And I like to imagine Dan sweating over a hot keyboard where he's like, well, this message has a reference to role playing games. So maybe I should give it a stir, but it does say bazingas. So I want to totally nail, nail, nail it. Now, can I plug something real quick before we give you? Sure. I have been rummiss.

In not plugging as fully as I should on this podcast, my other podcast, or a reminder to anyone who may not know, which case it's not a reminder, it's just new information, that for Audible, your source for audiobooks, if you're an Audible member, I'm doing a series for them. It's an audio series called Presidents or People Too with my friend and co-host Alexis Co. Author of the book, Alison Fita Forever.

And soon to be a major motion picture by the director of the Babadook. And we're doing a show. That's what she's doing. Awesome. Every episode is about a different president and we tell you enough about them to make them interesting. We can't cover their whole life in 25 minutes.

But we're going to tell you some interesting things. So later on when you hear their name, you're like, I know that the guy called his penis Jerry, which president called his penis Jerry, you're gonna have to listen to find out. So if you're an audible subscriber, please download Presidents for People too, starring me and Alexis. Thank you guys, I have some pretty great guests.

We've got a lot of great guests, yeah. And it's fun to hear you talk about something that you're passionate about as opposed to shitty movies. Thank you. Before we move on to the next part, I just want to say thanks to John Began, who turned one of our letters songs into a lovely mini musical, which I'll put on the end of this episode if I remember to do so.

Hopefully you will. Hopefully you're saying it will be a shame punishment. Yeah, it'll be one of those new monocles. It's like when you're like, I, if I don't lose 25 pounds by March, cut my head off. That's my New Year's resolution. I start sharpening my kitchen cheers. Yeah.

I'll show you guys after the Edward Ross for the copy of his book, Filmmish, which he sent

If you, it's like an understanding comics for movies, let's say. So it's high praise, I'm looking forward to seeing it. If people are interested in learning a little bit more about movies in a comic strip, pick up a filmish maybe.

But before we move on entirely, we should also promote our DC show. DC. Oh, of course, Lumbia. Washington DC. The Capitol or whatever it's called in Hunger Games. That's right. Tickets are going fast for watching DC show. Hot cakes. Like the hottest cakes. Imagine a cake. That's right. Tickets are going fast for watching DC show. Hot cakes, like the hottest cakes.

Imagine a cake. Uh-huh. I got it in my head. It's like a birthday cake. Uh-huh. Now imagine there's candles on it, but the candles are like all burn it, like they're all wicker men. Okay.

And that cake was dipped in gasoline. Okay. That thing's on fire. That's the hottest cake possible. Why did we make the cake this way? I don't think it's gonna be either way. It's like when you... You don't have time for questions now.

We've gotta get out of the house. Everything's pretty good. Stuart, no, just leave me behind. Let me die in this cake prison. No, I know you always wanted to die by cake, but still. You was too beautiful to live. Every time you ordered death by chocolate on a like a Benniggans menu, and you didn't die for you like

So thank you very much.

This is a very generous gift. Thanks David and anyone who sends us gifts. Thank you, David. This is a very generous gift. Thanks, David. And anyone who sends a gift, thank you very much. That's very sweet of you. There is no need to send a gift. Even the gift of your time to listen to our show. Yeah, listen to our show.

That's the biggest gift of all. Is here. For the greatest love of all is happening to us. It's probably the most beautiful episode we've ever had. Not at all. Not at all. Not by far. So. Continue Dan Writh.

Going into more normal letters. This is from Carl last name of the year. Junior. I was getting along to episode 186, Guardians of the Highlands, when an offensive and shocking assertion was made by Elliot Kaelin. Yeah, yeah.

He falsely claimed it. Is it not local hero? He falsely claimed it. Is it that local hero? He falsely claimed that beside the beautiful Letterman cave, there's absolutely nothing to see in the great state of Connecticut. I'm certain Elliott did not mean to perspire the Constitution state. The world's number one producer of constitutions. So I was prepared to let the matter go. But then I realized how much Elliott loves being corrected.

So I prepared this short list of must see places in my former home state. Number one, how many of them are like hot dog states? I'm just gonna be like hot dog's on the mind tonight. You're all this, you're all on on with me. You need to go eat a hot dog, give it out of your system. Yeah, yeah, that's, you have like six of them in a row

and then you know one for a week, you know? Yeah, but then you're gonna watch hot dog the movie. Yeah, that's you have like six of them in a row and then you know one for a week, you know, yeah, but then you go watch high dog the movie. Yeah, that's one of the six. Go find a dog and he let up. That sounds terrible. You're not good for the dog. That's for sure. So here you go.

The list of musty places in Connecticut. Number one, the boyhood home of modernist composer Charles I. Not interested. Number two, the Danbury Railway Museum. Alfred Hitchcock filmed several scenes for strangers on a train on the station's distinctive curved platform. Okay. Number three, the PT Barnum Museum. Number four, the recently reopened Holy Land USA, an 18-acre biblical theme park, as seen on the Daily Show.

Number five, the Homes of Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe. You can see all of these places and still have time to see the very spot where I lost my virginity. I know you're already playing it. That is I assume the leather man came. As we say in Connecticut, do you know a better way to drive from New York in Boston? That's a very good state motto. Yeah.

Boy, if you have a hover car, thank you for correcting me on that. You can also go visit many of my relatives there. Yeah. For some reason, there's a letterman joke. It's not even that funny that is stuck in my head for years and years and years, which was state motto. And the state motto he had for Connecticut was the middle sea is silent. So that's what I think of when I think of Connecticut. That's like, Dan, do you

remember when I said letterman, but I swore you said leather man. Yeah. David leather man. You would travel. You traveled from town to town interviewing celebrities. Throwing watermelons off him buildings. Never mind to be up to him. Do you remember when I created a logo for our detective agency? And it was going to be called Mystery Brothers Detective Agency. And the slogan was, we're not really brothers. Oh, boom.

Boom. Boom. Yeah. That's, I like to think of a more beautiful world where we have a boy detective agency together. I would love that. Yeah. We detect boys. There's one whose name is Brahms. So this next one is from Stan last name with hell to rights. I was. Hello, true believers. Hey, it's me. Eminem wrote a song about me. I haven't been doing a cameo in your podcast because I created you maybe. I don't know at this point. I forget it. I don't remember. So this letter goes, I was listening to the fourth

top podcast about deaf leopard when host Stu Wellington mentioned he did some joke him ups here on your program. And since Teldeph to his party, does currently has no email. I have to contact this show to vent my display. Or a Twitter account. What? Stu? Alex was right. How dare you sacrifice Hello America

from on through the night? Oh, weird, I gotta go get a beer. It's proto-lep. Wait, you're being addressed here. This is, I don't know anything about this. It define what would be their future sound without it, there'd be no sugar to pour on anyone. The heartbreak would never be brought,

and that lady over there is actually pretty cool. We'd always have love available for her to her, despite always playing the fool. Yeah. Frankly, I expect more from a connoisseur of fine music. I'm sure Ellie would agree, and join me in a body rendition of everything's all right. I call Judas.

Thank you, Dan, for your time attention in MP3 program. Let's get rocked, stand last thing with Hell. I was on the record of singing. Put me in the hot seat over here. I would side with Stuart in any deaf leopard related things. I think I've heard maybe three deaf leopard songs. And most of what I know is from Stuart's podcast. So I have to rely on him.

And as it is, the number five authority on historical death leopard information. Well, thank you Stan. Those are some interesting, but incorrect points. And since you can't refute what I'm saying now, I must be right. Oh boom, burn. Very yeah.

I'll bring it up with Alex, but he's, Alex is probably right. Boom, boom, boom. Very, uh, I'll bring it up with Alex, but he's, Alex is probably right. That's why we call Alex Dr. Deaf on the program because he is a doctorate in deaf leopard information. Deaf leopard studies. Yeah. Uh, for the last letter of the evening, it's from Alex last name with hell. Uh, uh, Stu, I take issue with what you said on our podcast. I recently discovered you after I finished an appointment.

How I wish I had known nine months earlier of your fantastic little show. Stuart is my spirit animal, by the way. Anyway, I know this isn't a book. My ghost. That's not really what a spirit animal is. Your brums. Okay. I know this isn't a book cast, but I noticed something was missing in a recent book to movie adaptation.

In the book Unbroken by Laura Hill and Hillinbrand, there's a crazy part where a duck, Princess Gaga, is violated in a POW camp and then killed. Of course, this is the only part of the book I wanted to be in the film. And as you can, as you can probably guess, it wasn't included in the movie. I know Angelina Jolie directed this movie, and I like to imagine her directing some dude in a World War II era uniform fucking a stuffed duck. Stuffed duck. Oh, wait, a stuffed duck?

A stuffed duck? It's stuffed with something. Oh, what is this, a day madness show? Sure. Anyway, are there any scenes and super, are there any scenes in a super serious movie that seem ridiculous and out of place to you? Keep flopping out of the last name. Well, I think we'd all point to the bear suit blowjob from the shining as a major example of that There's nothing more there's nothing more horrifying than the idea of a bear suit giving a blowjob. I guess.

Maybe 30 years ago, but times have changed, Dan. That's awfully heteronormative of you. Yeah, Dan. I mean, I know that's a male bear. Maybe that was a female bear. You never know. Well, you couldn't see the bear teet's hanging down underneath their utters or whatever. Wow. Okay, let's go back to the letter I apologize. I should have brought it up. So this is what a ridiculous scene in a serious movie. Yeah.

There's, I mean, you see a lot in a whole movie. Like every David Lynch movie. Yeah. You know, but it works for him usually. In a lot of old movies, it'll be a serious movie. We all have like a slapsticky character who's thrown in there usually in a lot of old movies. It'll be a serious movie We all have like a slap sticky character who's thrown in there oftentimes a person of color Because they were very racist back then But I'm I'm gonna go with I'm gonna keep going with bear suit blowjob because it's the scene where That shining is a scary movie. Yeah, there's a much a scary scenes in it and then telling this thing happens and Shelley devolves so much more freaked out By it than anything else you've seen and it's like

They're doing what works for them, okay? Don't judge them. It's out of the ordinary, but still. Maybe she's just really impressed by his technique. No, maybe. I don't know. How does he move in two directions at once? I don't understand.

The other thing is, I never thought of this for, how many people who grew up to be furries had their first awakening while watching the shining? Does it hold a special place in their hearts? Yeah, it's probably maybe 1% the shining, 99% Disney's Robin Hood. That makes sense. Like a little bit Gizmo. Yeah, a little bit Gizmo, a little bit rocket roll.

Yeah, is can you think of anything? Not really. Which is, this is an incident of me being a bad producer Which is there was a question asked and I could have thought about never ask a question You don't know I have you know you can interrupt it. Well think about it right your answers into Flophouse at the flop house Gmail comms. Yeah. Well, what's the email address? It's theflophousepodcast.com. Sorry, the floppyuspodcast.com. What's a goofy scene in a serious movie or what's a scene in a book that wasn't in the movie version

that you wish was in there and go to the Flophouse podcast at gmail.com? That's correct. For your answers. No, I have answers to this question, but they can't come to my tongue. They're blocked by my stupid brain Then let's talk about something we do know what we want to talk about and that's our recommendations. Oh fucking a

I forgot to watch a movie The idea of anything to recommend I got a couple things for I can man. Oh boy One of them can be mine. Just just go you have me too. Yeah I was gonna say you you still in my... I'm gonna do a double shot of Noah Bonbach here. Oh, I don't recommend that. Oh, I'm sorry. I really liked Mistress America,

which I caught on cable recently. It's got Greta Gerwig, who collaborated with Noah Bonbach on France's Ha, which I liked quite a lot. I think France's Ha is probably still a little bit better than Mr. America, but... France's Ha, I think, might be my favorite Noa Bombak moment, which is not saying that much. I like him quite a lot, but he can be irritating. I like some of the stuff. He can be irritating, but this movie, I think, is very entertaining. It's about a...

We all know that kind of person who sort of constructs their life, you know, like they construct a persona and Greta Gerwig's character. You like the sociopath. Is sort of this, you know, she bond-vavanched like, like Jack of all trades, like Master of Absolutely Nothing, who is living in New York and lives this, you know, like, cat about Bohemian lifestyle and pretends to be a lot more together than she is where she's sort of secretly falling apart inside. And she befriends sort of the lead character of the movie because their parents are going to get married and they're going to be sisters and the lead character starts writing a story about her and it's

a question of like you know artistic betrayal like is it is it a betrayal to for her to write the story about someone that she knows in real life and is putting a very honest eye on this character or is that the way all art works? And it has a second act that is a long scene where they go on a trip to try and get some money out of a friend of Gregor Wigs so that Gregor can open a or a friend of Gregor Wigs, so that Gregor can open a restaurant. The scene plays out like a slow motion farce with characters being added all the time to this one house and entering and exiting rooms. It's very funny in a way that I think is a little different for an obomba. It feels like a really funny

stage play for the second act of the movie. But also I want to recommend no bomb back documentary, Dupalma, which I saw at the Angelica Film Center, the the ratlinist from the Subway movie theater there is. I haven't seen anything there in a long time. Yeah, that's where I saw snowpiercers, great. But it's a fun movie. It's a trip through all of De Palma's movies, front to back, basically just grind De Palma talking about his movies and then us seeing clips from them. and then us seeing clips from them. And the thing is, inform it's pretty boring, inform it's basically just glorified DVD extra, but it's a really good DVD extra.

And I know people have mixed feelings about Diploma. Like, I don't like all of this stuff, but, and he's kind of hard to defend sometimes, but there's something about his willful perversity and like combined with great technical mastery that I respond to. Yeah. So, uh, and he doesn't mind lingering on the, wait, Noah Bambach or Brian Dupalma. Brian Dupalma.

He does mind lingering on the female form. Yeah. Well, that's one of the, that's one of the things that people, fact checked right in the middle of that. It's making sure. That's one of the things people criticize him for. He is a, he is the male gaysiest of male gays directors. That's for, well he's Hitchcock.

He wants to be Hitchcock and Hitchcock was all about objectifying women in many ways. And Dupalma can can do with nudity. But if you want, yeah, if you want to jack up campy version of Hitchcock, then Brian to poem was for you. The documentary, just his movies. So you recommended a lot of movies right there because he's had a very, very film. That's right. I recommend the varied, you recommend it to you guys. You recommend I recommend the varied. You recommend it to you guys.

You recommend it to you guys. You recommend it to you guys. It's good stuff. It's make guys not too much. I'll recommend my movie. I'll try to do it quick. I'm going to recommend, hey, it's an old Japanese movie. What a surprise.

I'm recommending it. I'm going to recommend a movie called The Face of another, which maybe you guys have heard of, directed by Hiroshi Teshagara, who also did, who's best known for woman in the dunes, and it stars Tetsuya Nakaday, one of the greats of Japanese film. There's Anatano. He was the Emperor in Ron. He's an A ton of different Japanese movies. He's the star of one of my favorite Japanese movies, Kill.

But in this, he plays a man who, it's on the mid-60s. He plays a man who before the movie had started, has had his face hardly burned in an industrial accident. And this very morally dubious, but kind of intellectually curious, plus surgeon who specializes in prosthetic limbs that are meant to help cure mental conditions. He says, I'm'm gonna make you the most life-like face But it's not gonna look like your face and you just have to watch out because this face is gonna turn you into a different person And you're gonna say bomb kind of yeah, and I want you to tell me everything that happens I want to see how your personality changes under this and he starts to construct another life for himself where he wears this False face and the movie is kind of in a way about

how difficult it is to escape the person that you are. And what kind of consequences it can have when you try to and can't quite accomplish it. And it's super creepy and tense. It's a weird movie, but it's really good. And it's called The Face of Another. That sounds great. So, yeah, I totally just didn't realize I hadn't had a movie to recommend until just now. But I, a couple days ago, the actor Anton Yelchen died, which was a terrible,

crazy accident, and he's an actor who I've really admired in a couple of movies, most recently Green Room, and also- I didn't realize that he died, the terrible. And also the Fright Night remake, which was recommended by Dan on an earlier episode. So tonight, I'm going to recommend a movie without Anthony Elchin, the original Fright Night,

with Chris Sarandon as the sexiest vampire in the universe. And it is very similar to the remake, but it also, it is, I don't know, it manages to capture the kind of like the late night horror movie, aesthetic of the 80s, while also being kind of sexy, even though it's got, they have Marcy from married with children as the sexy mom character

and it totally works. And... Yeah, Roddy McDowell and that movie. Roddy McDowell is amazing. It's a really great movie. It's I think I came to mention Chris Brandon. I did. Yeah, right up at the top. He's amazing. Yeah. I would let him drink all of my blood. He can have my sweet young blood. And then bury me in the backyard. And so, uh, right night, watch the remake and then Barry me in the backyard. And so, Friday night, watch the remake and then watch the original,

because they're both really great. Yeah, right of paper comparing if you're interested in them and synages. Yep, send it to us. LA will read it, because he's got a ton of free time. Oh, but nothing of the free time, yeah. Well, great it, why not?

You know, if you want validation from someone, you will not get course credit for it. Because this is not a course. And we'll send it back to you and you'll be like, Oh, man, Stewart was tough, but fair. Yeah. You know what? This I was hoping to be more lenient, but I didn't deserve for him to be more lenient. Yeah, that's the thing.

I can't really find fault with these, even though I'm upset about them. And I kind of get off on being yelled at. So this is really getting me going. Yeah, I mean, it's really, we're really trying to learn you into a school role play. Yeah, yep. It's this is one of the personas series. It's a JRPG, Dan. JRPG.

Yep, Japanese role play. Junior. No, you're baking jeans. All right. Well, guys, this has been fun. We've had a few laps. Yeah, we've had a few laps. So before we totally wrap this up, I just wanna say guys, my bar finally fucking opened.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. By the time you hear this, hitter lands, hitter lands. We all did it. Hitter lands. So my bar, hiterlands, is...

What's the entrance? It's 739 Church Avenue in Brooklyn. 739 Church Avenue. And by the time this episode airs, we'll have just had our grand opening. But please come down and visit. I'm going to be there a lot, but I don't know exactly when my regular days are going to be.

And I got to say that... I I gotta say thanks for the podcast guys, because it really helped me get through a pretty difficult two-year process. That was a rough process and it took a long time. Yeah, it was really difficult. But yeah, so it's open finally, and we, the neighborhoods, really coming is really supportive and our friends are all super supportive and I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out so far. And you know what?

I think I speak for Dan when I say we're proud of you. Well, thanks man. Hopefully, hopefully Elliot will come down and we're going to get fucking twisted. Oh, every night. Yeah, yeah. That's going to be my new hangout place. And that's going to be kind of the new role you take. Like you've always been kind of like a troubled writer type.

And now you can be more like a Charles Balushi type. That's I guess a mix of Charles Bikowski and John Balushi. Yeah, yeah. Which is that different? Mm-hmm. Then you become Jim Balushi. Yeah. I've always been kind of like a straightforward square family man

I've always been kind of like a straightforward square family man middle of the road, your classic white bread, cisgender male, you know, whatever.

So let's try to keep it taught and tight this time. There's not a lot of plot in this movie, so that'll help.

Mm-hmm. Totness isn't the issue as much as comedy. That's what we need, comedy. Yeah, yeah, but I think that's also, I think, let's not be sleepy. I'll try my best. Let's fucking spin it over. You're already in your pajamas,

so you're already failing on part of that account. And not even wearing waking day clothes. Waking day. Yep. There are the sequel to waking one. It sounds like something from a fantasy novel. Today is your waking day. Mm-hmm.

You are now in a determined, which battle class you are a member of? You will stop wearing the pajamas of you. Mm-hmm. Maximumfund.org slash my name. MaxMumFun. Donate, please. Donate.

Okay, what's the next part of this podcast? The next part of my guest is where we take a few moments to answer letters from listeners. Oh, man. You need a... I'm going to get a little refresher. All right. Mr. John Hodgman is going to go get another. I just realized he had to get more than my future channel

That reminds me while he's getting up that we might want to take a few moments right now Take a few moments, the three or four of us to listen to the letters To think about them and really give a good reply Maybe something that might change some lines Maybe something that'll get us high-fives Where we meet the brighter of the lettering person In person Are you saying there's a chance that I could meet the floppers?

Probably not Well, Stuart, yes, because he works in a public place. There's got a time and a little baby there too. Emily, it's kind of a mysterious sort. A recluse they say, packing his lair. He hates the sunlight and hates the light of the moonlight of any kind, natural air, but laughter, the smiles, it strikes him like spikes and light falls in, don't expect to meet him. The suit man, sure, why not? And y'all tell him, thanks for reading my letter on the flung house. Tonight, this letter's on the spot to you by me wasting time. That's how it works. That's how it works.

So Dan, do we have some letters or should I sing another song for Warrz? No, I got it. So this first letter... I'm back! I came on the free... Read the letter. I just wanted to say... three, three the letters. It's a good time. I just wanted to say,

what did I miss is the name of a song from the popular musical Hamilton, but it also describes the question I have cause I wasn't the kitchen man, something happened to someone sing a song. I hope I didn't miss a song. So I'm writing song to song, it counts. The abrupt ending. That's it.

It's a funny say that they miss a song. It's like ending a lake in from my old ancient slumber to sing another down for. How about letters and writing and writing and letters from us to you, from you to us, from them to them, from all to all. But Elliot, do I actually have to write a letter to a stranger? I don't want to do it. I have problems with expressing myself.

That's understandable. It's something we might need to work on. You're a great guy. You should be confident. In your abilities, but no, because the strangers have written to us. There's strangers, but there's no dangers, because it's through a letter. Unless they figured out some way to kill with words? Probably not.

And so let's read this letter from Chris last thing with her. Listen, it was time for the wild but how? We get to meet and it seems to be those best years, when the sun comes to its end. Right now. Maximumfund.org Comedy and Culture, Artist Don't Listen or Supported
