Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey everyone, welcome to a Flophouse Mini. I'm Dan McCoy. I'm Stuart Wellington. I'm Elliot Kalin, or at least I was Elliot Kalin. Join me, won't you? Oh. On a mystery that will go deep into the heart of identity. That's what this episode's about, right Dan?
Starting point is 00:00:21 I thought I was in charge, but Elliot seems to be taking over. It's a hostile takeover of Dan's Mini. No, Dan. What are we doing today? So normally on the flop house as you know, probably we watch a bad movie and then we talk about it But every other week we do a mini episode where we freeform it a little bit and this one is Inspired by a listener suggestion actually from John Last Name Withheld, who wanted a mini focused on Stuart and mid and post credit scenes. Because as we all know, as part of a Flophouse lore,
Starting point is 00:00:58 Stu is infamous for shutting off the Flophouse movies the instant they're over, meaning he frequently misses anything that happens after the end credits start. So today we're gonna play a little game to see if this is true of Stuart and all movies. Elliot, you are involved too. You're here in an advisory capacity
Starting point is 00:01:21 for your friend and co-host. You can help him, or I guess if you choose to you can hinder him Don't know why I would do that. But now that the option is in front of me I think I have to take it. I you know, I just have to squid game to me I got to let you know that you're free to do what you please The answer is up to you. But the final answers are gonna come from Stewart Oh, wow, and a lot of fresh So I have a lot of press.
Starting point is 00:01:45 So I have a list of films that have mid or post credit scenes. I'm gonna give the title of the movie and a brief refresher of the premise. And we'll see if Stu either remembers, if he's seen it or can guess what happens in the credit scene in a game that I'm calling Just One More Thing. Just One More Thing brought to you by Columbo.
Starting point is 00:02:08 If you thought something was over, but there's just one more thing, it might be a credit scene, or you might be watching Columbo, now streaming on 2B Prime Video and Peacock. Just to be fair, you said brought to you by Columbo. Did we receive any money for this? No the uh the fictional character Colombo now
Starting point is 00:02:30 likely deceased, uh, I mean, you know, peter fock has But the character probably also, you know, yeah, you know You don't think he like stepped through the stargate and became one with the cosmos. No money has come from the fictional character Colombo. Or the show, which you were just at. Or the show. Where you can find it. No.
Starting point is 00:02:51 What about Colombo University here in New York City? Colombo University. Colombo University. I finally, I'm graduating today. Just one more thing. Now I want to warn the audience, of course, this will obviously be filled with spoilers for films of the past. So if that concerns you, tread carefully.
Starting point is 00:03:14 I'd be more concerned if it was filled with spoilers for films of the future. That would be wild, right? Yeah. Would you be concerned or impressed? A little bit of both. Mike, I didn't realize I was sitting next to early edition over here. That's me. Earl E. edition.
Starting point is 00:03:30 The first film... The E also stands for early, which is weird. Yeah, it's weird. Early, early, Earl early edition. 1985. Young Sherlock Holmes. Directed improbably by one Barry Levinson, it is a film about Young Sherlock Holmes,
Starting point is 00:03:51 his boarding school adventures where he meets Watson, engages in a tragic romance and fights a secret Victorian cult. This film also has a post-credit scene. What is it? Now again, Elliot can jump in and advise, Hinder. Can I ask a question? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Dan, where does this fit canonically in your Sherlock Holmes rankings? I'm actually quite fond of young Sherlock Holmes. It obviously goes against the canonical sort of Sherlock Holmes story where Watson and Holmes meet later in life, but it's kind of a fun little kids adventure that combines Sherlock Holmes with sort of a,
Starting point is 00:04:39 I don't know, more of a Temple of Doom goonies feel. Okay, so let's see. I mean, I think it does have a post-credit scene. You're right there. Good. You're on the right. That's information that Dan already provided. I get partial credit, I think is.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Restating the question. I feel like it's an introduction of Moriarty and a tease for him returning as a villain. You are correct, Stuart. The villain of the picture is revealed to be alive. We thought he had perished. He's alive. He checks himself into a hotel in the Alps under a new name, Moriarty.
Starting point is 00:05:18 And how did that play in the young Sherlock Holmes too? Unfortunately, we did not get any further adventures. Slightly older Sherlock Holmes was not made. You know young man, quarter-life prices Sherlock Holmes didn't burn up the box office. Did they just end up making an even younger Sherlock Holmes? They're probably gonna do a baby Sheldon movie or TV show, right? You got it. There's nowhere else to go unless probably going to do a baby Sheldon movie or a TV show, right? You got it.
Starting point is 00:05:46 There's nowhere else to go unless you go with like super old Sheldon. I mean, you can do both. They both have to team up with each other. It's a time travel story. Yeah, exists. Yeah. I mean, he exists in all times, all points, all everywhere. Yeah, there's always been a Sheldon.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Then there will always be a Sheldon. He's the alpha and the omega. Okay. 1992. We all remember 1992. the omega. Okay, 1992. We all remember 1992, we lived through it. A little film was released called Lethal Weapon 3, directed by- Loaded Weapon 2, you said? Directed by Richard Donner.
Starting point is 00:06:18 It's the third in a series about a lethal weapon and his partner who's getting too old for this shit. This film has a credit scene What happens in the credit scene to lethal weapon 3 now lethal weapon 3 is the one with the cop killer bullets? Yes Piercing cop killer No, that's part for you. Yeah, Jet Jet Li is in part four. This is all part... Lethal Weapon 2 introduced Joe Pesci, right?
Starting point is 00:06:47 Mm-hmm. And then Lethal Weapon 3 introduces Rene Russo, right? Mm-hmm. And part three also has a guy getting killed and they... Then they had the Boyz II Men, End of the Road song at the funeral. Yes. Yeah. These are also most of the things I remember about this movie.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Yeah. There's a part I think where they, Rene Russo and Mel Gibson, they fight, they compare scars. It's sort of like a... Yeah, like Jaws. Jaws thing. And this is the one where the building goes up at the beginning. They have sex right in Jaws when they compare scars.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah, all three of them have sex in Jaws. It's really hot. Elliot, do you have any sort of glint in your eye? Do you recall anything about this? My guess is this is more of a funny mid-credits scene than a teasing something for the future. I feel like Joe Pesci has been left somewhere and he's like, are you guys coming back for me?
Starting point is 00:07:39 Yeah, exactly. Yeah, he's at the bottom of the ocean with his feet in cement and he's like, oh, grace, I can only hold my breath so long. Yeah, that's how he sounds, right? Yeah, yeah, exactly. You're right. I mean, I guess it's kind of a comedic scene.
Starting point is 00:07:55 So the tone is correct, although, you know, in real life, this would not be a funny happening. No, I'm sure and it's probably not funny when you're watching Lethal Weapon 3 either, but... No, it's not funny happening no I'm sure and it's not funny when you're watching lethal weapon 3 either but no it's deadly serious I mean the humor probably fails at a certain certain to achieve its goal yeah it's like a weapon one with the bomb on the toilet right that's you yeah okay that's lethal weapon 2 and a gully planet egg I mean, I'll watch a lethal weapon ghouly crossovers. That's more fun than any of the actual lethal weapons to be honest. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Okay. Lethal's weapon. This is the way you pluralize that. You know what? I should rewatch the lethal weapon movies. I remember watching them when I was young. I was just so disappointed that it was just two guys. Like that was the concept. It was just two guys that solve a crime, I guess.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Like there was nothing more to it, essentially. Yeah, yeah, but like one's crazy. I remember them. And one of them just wants to retire. Yeah, I remember them being like, OK, but like they were never like in that sort of buddy cop thing. I don't know. they didn't transcend for me I feel like I feel like after bad boys 2 came out. It's like why am I messing with this stuff?
Starting point is 00:09:11 Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. You see a rat puppet have sex with another rat puppet sure Okay, so you're giving up on on what happens or do you want? I already guess that's right. Sorry Joe Pesci stuck somewhere and he's like guys you coming back for me He's in like a trunk or something that has to be claimed at the airport. Yeah. No, it's Riggs and Murtaugh are called to another building and they debate whether to go inside the building
Starting point is 00:09:35 and the building explodes. There's a freeze frame and Riggs says, I hope no one saw us, which seems strange to me because like, should they have gone into the building and gotten blown up? I don't know. That's the one that is it that one that opens with them cutting the wrong wire Yeah, so it's a call back to that where I didn't even get in there and yeah, yeah Yeah, wherever they go buildings blow up This is the fourth one that opens with the guy in the like armored bodysuit and the flamethrower and machine gun
Starting point is 00:10:02 It opens with the guy in the armored body suit and the flamethrower and machine gun. I don't even remember. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's blasting heavy metal music in his headphones. Okay, so let's skip ahead a couple years to 1994, Street Fighter, directed by Steven E. D'Souza,
Starting point is 00:10:21 an adaptation of the video game about various characters that fight one another. Yeah, yeah. Not a reboot of the Sonny Chiba movie. I was gonna say, no, it is not a remake of the Sonny Chiba movie. You've brought with Royal Julia as Sonny Chiba. The movie where when he punches dudes,
Starting point is 00:10:37 it does an x-ray attack and he like, sees him crushing their skulls or, doesn't he like rip a dude's dong off? I don't remember that part. Guys, right. You always think that people's dogs get ripped off. Yeah, to be honest, I get Sonny Chiba movies mixed up a lot. You know, I get mixed up what's in Street Fighter
Starting point is 00:10:54 and what's in like Karate Bear Fighter. Real quick, I think this is a really important thing. If I were to fire up Street Fighter, who will you play? What character would you play? Wait, oh. Play the video game Street Fighter. What's your character? D character would you play? Wait, oh. Play the video game Street Fighter. What's your character? Dullseem, Distance Attack, but I was like Vega
Starting point is 00:11:08 because he does a lot of jump attacks. Wow, okay. I'm the kind of player where I like to- You're a goofy character, guys. I like to go in, hit, come right back out again, yeah. Okay. I think Street Fighter is the movie where a guy to show how strong he is,
Starting point is 00:11:20 he puts a bottle in his elbow between his bicep and the rest, and he squeezes it till the bottle breaks, just to show off how strong he is. That's super hard. I think that happens in the movie. I think I either would... I usually played either Blanka or Chun-Li. Yeah. Solid characters, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:37 And both have a powerful button mash. Yeah. And also a powerful sexual attraction, yeah. Yeah, and of course I'm Zangief the Russian bear fighter I just love a guy who can pick you up and it's a big hairy guy Yeah, I love a big hairy dude. You know who I'm not playing as? Not playing as Ken, not playing as Ryu. Boring. Boring. Ryu. Not even like later on where they leaned into the hobo Ryu element and like I don't know like Hot Dad Ken. Go on Dan. No, I want to play a character that has like a
Starting point is 00:12:03 Has a some kind of superhuman thing about them. Yeah. I mean, they throw fireballs. That's true. That's not so fun. That's not that fun. Okay, well anyway, in Street Fighter, after the credits roll, there's more.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Tell me about it, Stud. That's me. What happened? There's more. Okay, maybe like M. Bison like calls his way out of the like, out of the grave or out of like a building or something. You know what, Stuart? You are basically correct.
Starting point is 00:12:35 There are so many, I had to be careful because there's so many of these mid credit scenes that are essentially just, oh, he's not dead. There may be even... But he's not dead. Yeah. There may be even. He's not dead. One might even show up later in this game, who knows? But yeah, solar power reactivates in Bison's computer and its revival system, which restores Bison, his fist smashes through the rubble, and on the computer screen,
Starting point is 00:13:05 world domination colon replay is selected. Oh yeah. He gets another chance, he has an extra life. And movies based on video games are good. Yeah. Always. Can't wait for that. Never been a done. Can't wait for that Minecraft movie, huh? I mean, we are staring down the barrel
Starting point is 00:13:24 of the very real Borderlands movie guys Yeah, I guess we're gonna have to do that one. We gotta do that one. Yeah. The the one that is uh, not not doing well for old lines, Gate. Yeah. I might have to uh change the locks. It's... You might have to give away the lion.
Starting point is 00:13:43 It's Cate Blanchett, right? Yeah. Yes, it's Cate Blanchett. You don't have to give away the lion. It's Cate Blanchett, right? Yeah. Oh, man. Yes, it's Cate Blanchett. You can't blame her. No, no, no. I'm sure that any enjoyment I'm going to get out of that will be mostly Cate based. And any non-enjoyment you get will be the Jack Black robot.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Luckily, he's also in Minecraft. Oh, boy. So, wait, in the Minecraft movie, do they just look like the guys from the Money for Nothing video? No, it's the same old thing about people get sucked into the video game, so you have live action people in a Minecraft world, but the Minecraft world actually looks much better in the movie than it does in the video game.
Starting point is 00:14:18 That sucks. And Jack Black shows up as Steve, the character from Minecraft, but he's still got a huge beard, because I guess he told them, I'll do the movie that I don't want to shave. And they're like, he is so essential to the success of this. I'm sure you're right about the Jack Black robot, Elliot, but the thing is about that,
Starting point is 00:14:36 unlike how I'm sure that I will like Cate Blanchett in it, I know that me disliking that robot won't be Jack Black's fault. It will be whoever was told to write a Jack Black robot. What does he do, the voice for Claptrap? Is Claptrap the robot? I think like the little boxy robot guy. Yeah, little boxy robotics. So here's the thing, Jack Black, I love him.
Starting point is 00:14:59 He does a lot of great performances. I've been a fan of his for a long time since I first saw him on Mr. Show years ago and first for Tenacious E But it always it just always stinks when suddenly this performer that you generally like is suddenly very annoying in a lot of movies all At the same time, right? Because like people are like just have him do this his thing, you know, like they put him into this It's not pushing him creatively as a performer. Yeah, the minecraft board and he's like, yeah, I'll take another house. That's fine as a performer. The Minecraft, Borgia Lance. And he's like, yeah, I'll take another house, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Uh, okay, so moving on, the last selection before, we'll take a little break here. Superhero movies, they often have credit scenes, and 2003's Daredevil is no exception. Directed by Mark Steven Johnson, it tells the tale of famed crime-fighting blind lawyer Matt Murdock, his romance with Electra Assassin, and his battle with the insidious Kingpin and the deadly Bullseye based on the podcast by Jesse Thorne.
Starting point is 00:15:56 What happens? What if Jesse Thorne played Bullseye in the Daredevil movie? I would love it. I would love it. Yeah, I can turn anything into a weapon. So here's this hip hop CD. He just throws it, you know. It sounds kind of like Kermit in here.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah. I'm not against it though. No, it's sort of a gentle bullseye. Well, what if Kermit was bullseye? Yeah, anything in my hands because it becomes a weapon. So wait, does that make Electra Miss Piggy? Yes, Electra is Miss Piggy. Fozzie is the kingpin.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Yeah, exactly. Daredevil is... So who's Miss Piggy, Fozzie is the kingpin. Yeah, exactly. Daredevil is... So who's Daredevil? Daredevil is... Gonzo. Gonzo, I suppose, yeah. I'm the man without fear.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Yeah, exactly. Yeah. See, Sam the Eagle is the kingpin. The electric comes up. Sam the Eagle is a really good kingpin choice. Actually, he would be a great kingpin choice, yeah. So Gonzo, sorry. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Kermit is Daredevil. He has to be because he's the main character. Yeah, Gonzo is foggy Nelson the goofy sidekick Yeah, Fuzzy is uh, I guess Fuzzy has to be bullseye then Wow, like sort of a neurotic bullseye would be very funny. Ah Anything in my hands is a weapon. I Love it. Uh, I can't I just know, any Muppet thing makes me happy. Okay. Did you see the thing recently where I forgot who it was. Some lady, some young actress, she was in a, in an article.
Starting point is 00:17:12 She was like, I want to be the only person in a Muppet movie. Just like Michael Caine was the only person in his Muppet movie. And the, the, on Twitter, the guy who does the Muppets history feed, he's like, I'll remind everyone there are the, the, Michael Caine is not the only person in the Muppet movie in Muppets history feed. He's like, I'll remind everyone there are the, Michael Caine's not the only person in the Muppet movie in Muppet Christmas Carol. Like all the Muppets are operated by people. Like it's such a funny thing for a performer to be like, I want to be the only human who works with the Muppets.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Okay, well there's a post credit scene in Daredevil. Stewart, can you tell me what this credit scene might be? Well, I feel like it would be dumb. So I've never actually seen the Daredevil movie. Yeah I was I didn't have a huge connection great. Yeah, you miss it. Oh man. That was actually that was the start of the MCU, right? It's what? He's a character that I never really had a real connection with And for whatever reason this movie didn't seem that great. Let's see. I would say...
Starting point is 00:18:11 The movie that created Bennifer 2, not that great. Hey, you heard it first, folks. I think I've made this joke before about Bennifer 1 being the first non-consecutive Bennifer. Bennifer 1 and Bennifer 3 are technically the same Benifer. Yeah. So I don't think it's... I got a little guess. No, I know.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Stop pressuring me. Don't go eat a fucking uncrustable. So I think it's got to introduce another character. But like, who's another Daredevil character, like Typhoid Mary or something? Is it Typhoid Mary? Does it introduce Typhoid Mary? I was not aware of this character,
Starting point is 00:18:54 and now I'm interested, but what happens is- Typhoid Mary's a great character. I mean, it's basically kind of doing Electra, but more so. Oh wait, no, does it introduce Tombstone? What about Stilt Man? Does it introduce Stilt Man? No man does introduce still man. No No, we see bullseye we see bullseye the trapster. Oh, is this one costume for the first time? Well bullseye the trapster is not a daredevil villain and never been a daredevil villain
Starting point is 00:19:17 Bullseye is in a prison hospital He's all bandaged up after his encounter with daredevil He still has perfect aim though, which we see when he impales a fly with a syringe and says bullseye. So it's just another variant on the villain is going to be back. Yeah. You know, the villain's not done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:39 So with that, I was supposed to introducing the owl or the jester or any other of Daredevil's amazing rogues, you know. As opposed to introducing the owl or the jester or any other of Daredevil's amazing rogues, you know. Let's take a little break. Elliot, why don't you tell us a little bit about Flop TV?

Since 2017, Maximum Film has had the same slogan, the podcast that's not just a bunch of straight white guys. Ooh, we've learned something over the years.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Some people out there really do not like that slogan. Listen, we love straight white guys. Well, some of them. But if there's one thing we can't change, it's who we are. I'm Ify, a comedian who was on strike last year in two different unions. I'm Dreya, I've been a producer and film festival programmer for decades. And I'm Alonzo, a film critic who literally wrote the book on queer Hollywood. You can listen to us talk movies and the movie biz every week on Maximum Film.

It's issue 44, Harley Quinn number 44. I'm taking the reins of the book for a while
Starting point is 00:23:07 and I'm very excited about this storyline. It's gonna be fun, it's gonna be funny, it's gonna be exciting, it's gonna be silly, there's gonna be big action in it. It's gonna be great. The art is by Mindy Lee. It looks beautiful. I'm just super excited about it.
Starting point is 00:23:20 So go to your local comic book store on Wednesday, October 23rd and pick up Harley Quinn number 44 written by me. Well let us move on to the second part of the mini and this is the only Flophouse movie I'm including in here. It's the very first Flophouse movie. In 2005 it's Stealth directed by Rob Cohen, the tale of EDI and artificial intelligence Jet created by the military that turns against our heroes Josh Lucas Jamie Foxx and Jessica Beale they prevail but something happens after the credits what
Starting point is 00:23:59 Like the EDI 2.0 boots up Or is revealed. I mean basically that's what it is. This is the final. The nightmare is not over. One on the border between North and South Korea. The AI brain turns back on.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Oh no. Yeah, I'm glad that they made this movie, this call to, a warning call about the horrors of AI, and humanity listened, and it's not a problem anymore. Yeah, yeah, stealth did it. No more AI. Yeah, stealth.
Starting point is 00:24:34 One of the most effective movies in the history of movies. We're moving forward in time. I mean, obviously we are. Yeah. But. Yeah, yeah, are you just quoting the trailer for In Time, starring Andrew I just didn't live in time. What's the name of that movie? In time is that what live in time the one with Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh? I don't know that one the horse. Oh, that's the horse meme thing
Starting point is 00:24:59 No, I am I I'm unfamiliar with the trailer for that No, obviously we were moving forward in time, in life, but we were also moving forward in time in these movies. Yeah, movies move forward in time too. It's rare that a movie goes backwards in time. I mean, Memento kind of, yeah. Yeah, fair enough. In 2008, the second X-Files movie was released.
Starting point is 00:25:20 It was called The X-Files colon I want to believe. It was directed by series creator Chris Carter. It was a Monster of the Week style tale of a kidnapped FBI agent and a psychic pedophile priest wants to find this kidnapped agent. It was a dark moody installment and there was more after the credits. Can you tell me what it was? First off I didn't see this one. Did you guys see this one? I did I was I was a big X-Files fan back in the day it's Fine it is like, you know, it is
Starting point is 00:26:00 Like I said, they were like well, let's not lean further into the increasingly impenetrable mythology stuff. Let's just do a standalone movie. I like that part. Chris Carter, not the most accomplished of the people who worked on it directorally, I don't think, but it was okay. I saw that first X-Files movie and I was like this wasn't much of a nothing But really much happened in X-Files fight the future. So I do it. Yeah said once bitten twice shy I mean they almost yeah, they almost kissed and then a bee stung school. I Remember that that was the most exciting thing that happened in the whole the whole yeah You know, I know what happens in the post credit scene
Starting point is 00:26:43 Spooky Fox Mulder meets an alien. No, in this moody, dark installment, the post-credit scene is Mulder and Scully floating on a rowboat near a tropical island. And as the camera goes above them, they wave up at it. Ha ha ha! So it's really more an end scene for David Duchovny and Julian Anderson just to be like,
Starting point is 00:27:09 hey everybody, we're not doing this anymore. You liked it. See you for the very short reboot show. Okay, well, we'll keep on television shows and creators directing movies of the TV shows. In 2014, Veronica Mars got a kick-started movie directed by the series creator Rob Thomas, where Veronica ditches her potential new life as a high-priced lawyer in the city
Starting point is 00:27:38 and comes back to Neptune to save her ex, Logan Echols, who is accused of murder. What is the post-credit scene in Veronica Mars? I feel like it's it's Enrico Calatoni, Cal, Cal, Caloni, Calatoni? Cal, Cal, Cal... I don't know, I can't think of it while you're saying words. It sounds like Stewart's brain has been cutting some kind of glitch loop
Starting point is 00:28:10 before we can get over the end of the name. You know, he plays the principal on the FX hit show, English Teacher. Oh, he does? He does, yeah. Also one of the aliens in Galaxy Quest. He plays an alien in Galaxy Quest. He played the photographer named Just Shoot Me, played the photographer named Elliot, I believe. I will never shoot you, Elliot. I love you. Thanks, I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:28:31 I mean, it was a double meaning, both in terms of like, oh, get me out of here, but also like photography, because it's a fashion magazine. I don't get it. It's over my head. I'm more of a simple guy. I'm a blue collar guy. So you're a Veronica's closet guy. Yeah, I'm a Veronica's closet guy. That was more of a you know, a simple guy. I'm a blue collar guy Rock's closet Joe Schmo, you know like me I would say it's her dad And he's like sitting down to a really big hoagie years Like finally there's time to eat this hoagie. No, this is a comical post credit scene.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Yep. Oh, you're saying the hoagie one would not have been comical? I think with the actor of his caliber, I think he could pull it off. Yeah, that's true. He could make that funny. But no, this is a callback to an earlier moment, a surprise cameo. So again, you don't want spoilers don't listen but it's James Franco in his trailer trying to think of words that rhyme.
Starting point is 00:29:30 James Franco everybody loves him yeah what a pleasant surprise that would be. Not as beloved as he once was but he was playing himself in Veronica Mars you see him as himself in his trailer trying to think of words that rhyme with orange. He's just listing his trailer trying to think of words that rhyme with orange He's just listing out words trying to rhyme them with Warren. Yeah, that's way funnier than my big sandwich bit I'd rather see the big sandwich. Yeah. Yeah Okay, well, let's wrap it up and then we can all go get a big sandwich went to
Starting point is 00:30:02 This is a the final one. it's from just last year. It's a film called Wonka, directed by Paul King. It's a tale about how Willy Wonka used to be Timothee Chalamet. But what happens in the credits? Interesting way to describe the movie, yeah. What happens in the credits for Wonka? You remember.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Did you see Wonka? I did see Wonka, and you know what? It worked better than I thought it would. I saw it. I thought it was better than it was going to be. I personally have no memory of what happens in the credit scene. I'm guessing like Hugh Grant and a bunch of other Oompa Loompas hang out or something. It is a Hugh Grant based post credit scene.
Starting point is 00:30:38 It's not that because this part where he goes where he buys the factory, that's before the credits, right? Like that's not a post creditscredits thing, right? No. No. Does he reveal he's actually like tall? Yeah, that'd be crazy. He's secretly tall the whole time.
Starting point is 00:30:54 That's the twist. Yeah. He's been, the whole movie, he's been handing people binoculars the wrong way around. So when they look at him, it looks like he's much smaller. He was saying that the process of making the Wonka movie was his favorite filming experience of all time, right? No, he was very grumpy about it, in fact.
Starting point is 00:31:12 I can understand, I think he did not, was he ever on camera with another actor in that movie? Like, I imagine it was all green screen acting for him. Likely so, like he does not seem to be the sort of man who would enjoy that sort of thing But at least he had a good time making Paddington to probably right? Yeah, I mean that bears amazing He did well he says that's his favorite one. Yeah, I mean he's great. Yeah, I know he's fantastic more than Mickey blue eyes more than Mickey blue eyes
Starting point is 00:31:40 Well, I'll tell you I'll tell you what happened in Wonka since you've forgotten You grant as the Oompa Loompa tells us what happens to some of the characters Larry Chucklesworth, whoever the fuck that was. Yeah gets back together with his wife Abacus of course played by mr. Carson from Downton Abbey returns to his family and Scrubbit and bleacher are arrested after a failed attempts to eliminate the evidence of their crimes. So that's what happened in Wonka and With that I think we can wrap up we can go into our own pretty close
Starting point is 00:32:17 Yeah, I thought Stuart did really well. Is it time to look at his score and see how well he did I think I did really good. Yeah looking at the score, he got 800 out of 12. That's amazing. I'm not one of you like big city educated city boys. I'm kind of like a blue collar regular guy. Yeah, you are from Indiana, the sticks of Indiana, and yet you know all this stuff about movies. Yeah, it's pretty impressive.
Starting point is 00:32:44 So, let's... So, did we... Is this like a fact check, right? This is how many Pinocchios does the story that Stuart doesn't ever watch post-credit scenes? Yeah, you only get one Pinocchio for that one. I mean, some of them you were clearly guessing at. I don't think this proves that you watch them. But you know what? We can no longer... This can no longer be part of the joke about Stuart, you know? Yeah, he's shown us that at the very least, he doesn you watch them. What? But you know what? We can no longer, this can no longer be part of the joke about Stuart.
Starting point is 00:33:07 You know? Yeah, he's shown us that at the very least he doesn't watch them because he can usually guess what's going to happen. What's great is now I can turn it off even like that with the movie. We can wrap it up until the very next time that Stuart does this exact thing. Just encouraging bad behavior, guys. Yeah. As I've been trying to say, let's get into our own credits and then call it a day for this many.
