The Flop House - FH Mini 68 - Oops All Nuts

Episode Date: November 26, 2022

Dan leads us on a tour of nut movies. It kind of makes sense when you listen to it.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Flop House, I'm Dan McCoy. I'm Stuart Wellington. And I'm Elliot Kalen. Join us, won't you, on a journey of self-discovery that we call the Flop House Mini. Uh-huh, thanks. Yeah, yeah, this is a mini episode, which means it's marginally shorter than a normal episode. In a regular episode, we watch a bad movie that we talk about it. And then in our off weeks every other week, we just do whatever we want.

And guys, oh boy, did I take that note to the Flop House idea bank? Oh, you're driving this one. I started that sentence without knowing what was headed. Yeah, my idea here, of course, as you know, it's November. And in opposition to no nut November, I have this, I have an episode called Oops All Nuts, which is, I'm saying it's sponsored by the entire episode. Sponsored by masturbation. Sponsored masturbation. Just do it.

Don't feel weird about it. No, not November is tied to weird tattoos. So, things don't get weird about it. Plus, who's it hurting other than you if you do it too much? Yeah, man. I mean, like it might hurt. Yeah, if you're like for going doing important things for it, then maybe you know, dial it back a bit. I just, I just managed to do it. It leads to chafing sometimes, but that's what lotion is for. I mean a hundred percent

My favorite like TikToks are the ones where it's just like a serious looking dude staring off like off like a pier somewhere And the text overlay is all like the benefits of not jacking off and I'm like, yeah, what They don't exist to have it here scientific studies say is all like the benefits of not jacking off. And I'm like, yeah, what? Is that what he says? They don't exist. They don't exist. I have it here. Scientific studies say regular sexual activity lowers the risk for prostate cancer, improves

memory, sleep, and immune cell function, and reduces inflammation and the risk of heart disease. So I say, did we have all you want? Did we have a, is this a promotional spot for sexual behavior? Well, I'm just saying. Yeah. Because I will say this, if you don't masturbate, if gravity turned off by accident, there would be more sperm in your testicles, which would help weigh you down back on the earth and keep you from floating into the other space.

You know what, you've changed by tune. Well, why? Never again. No, no, I mean, it's mostly just a, you know, I'll hook to hang the hat of this. We're premise. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just,

I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just,

I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I. Sure, yeah. Yeah, oops all nuts is what it is. And we're gonna talk about some movies with the word nut in the title. And we're gonna answer a couple questions. Number one, have any of us seen these movies? And number two, if we haven't, does it seem like a, something you'd go nutty for?

Or do you think it go nutty for? Or do you think it sounds not so good? So. I love that I was worried you weren't going to have themed responses. I'm glad you did. If you don't know, be by now, Ellie. Okay. So I wonder how many Advil Dan had to take after stressing his brain out coming up with those puns.

We're going to find out, we're going to find Dan's secret notebook of jokes that were rejected at his day job. And it's going to be like, oops, all nuts crossed out. Well, that's after years and years of one of Alex and mine, main jobs as writers of the Daily Show, well, not main, but most frequent jobs coming up with over the shoulder puns. My brain just works this way. Yeah.

It was a daily occurrence, yeah. Okay. So first off, one of the more famous films with nut in the title, it's The Nut Job from 2014, rated PG, starring the voices of Will Arnett, Brendan Frazier, Liam Neeson, Catherine Haigel, Steven Lang, and Maya Rudolph. And here's the, here's the,

Wow, Stephen Lang got some pride of placing Dan's in donation. No, Stephen Lang before Maya Rudolph. Yeah, well, it was kind of a, well, those are the creditors, but it was kind of one of these things are not like the other, in donation. Have a tour of Stephen Lang.

Mm-hmm. Here's the IMGB synopsis. in the internet. Have a tour of Stephen Lang. Here's the IMGB synopsis. It goes in an cordially self-serving exiled squirrel, finds himself helping his former park brethren survive by raiding a nut store. A location that also happens to be a front for a human gang's bank robbery. So we got some cross-purpose heists and animalized human heists. A few facts. It's the most expensive animated movie co-produced in South Korea. Oh, okay. And the director of the NutJobs most

recent movie is an animated film from 2017 titled No Malone. So what do you guys think? What do you think? What has the sound to you? No, no. No, no. When Post Malone. So what do you guys think? What do you think? What has the sound to you? No, Malone. It's no Malone when post Malone doesn't show up for a gig. That was my question. Is it about a known was alone? Or is it that there's no Malone's available? Yeah. No, it's a no space alone. Is that part of the Nomeo and Juliet series of films? No, but I will tell you that I went, there was a, I saw that this movie existed when I was looking at an alternate idea based on all of our no name, no talk, which was movies with no. I was wondering is that is the no man no man no man no man no arm, but at this point, I'm going to guess the answer is no. No, is your name good norm norm apparently? That somebody on Twitter was sure to correct me that the character does pronounce his name

good norm and I was like, look, I don't know. I thought I made it very clear. This is not a bad person. Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was four guys talking about a movie they'd never seen and just googling images. That seems accurate. Okay, so the nutshell, I have not seen the nut job. It's an anime movie for children.

Yes, and Ali, this would make it the most in your wheelhouse having children. Yeah, I don't know whether you've ever had the nut job. I have not seen it. What year did it come out? 2014. So that was the year that my older son was born. And so I managed to avoid all the children's movies

that came out that year. But if you have any questions about the Hotel Transylvania series, I can now answer that for you. Because certainly movies expire after one year. There's no way that a child would ever see a movie made before he was born. In my house, they're either going to watch a movie that is 80 years before they were born, or they're going to watch a movie from this year. Nothing else.

So the Hotel Transylvania movies are they more or less horny than the monster's movie that we just watched? I mean, less, I suppose, but although there were a lot of people on the internet who were apparently horny for the invisible man and and bad that they were very unhappy when they found out that the character who wears glasses and sounds like David Spade was not a was not a Jack Skellington sort of goth emo punk when it was revealed what he looks like. Oh, that's too bad. But anyway, I so I have not seen the nut job.

And what would my what would my categories? It sounds like something I would go nutty for. Yeah, before. Before I went nutty, I would go nutty for. Yeah, and before, or I would, not be just the avoidant. I just want to say it has a 37 on Metacritic, 37. So, number two, does it seem like something you'd go nutty for,

or do you think it sounds not so good? Well, with a 37 on Metacritic, I think I might be into it actually. Well, I should let you know on Nutter Critic, it gets 100%. That's pretty interesting. That's pretty interesting. That's pretty specializing movies about nuts, yeah. Okay, well, I'm gonna say that it's not nut in my wheelhouse.

Is that in your wheelhouse? Was that it? Yeah. The next film with nut in the title, we got here is 2017's The Taste of Betelnut, not rated. It's from Hong Kong. Okay. A film with it. A film with it as far as I can tell, no Wikipedia page in case anyone wants to work on

that. Is this the one where when you say Betelnut, Betelnut, Betelnut, the Taste of Peers in your mouth? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. This one, the summary, and I apologize if I mispronounce anything, but uh, leak, leak, he works for a dolphin show. His friend, Ren Yu works karaoke on the beach along

the coast where they live when a young woman by lane joins the two men. A three-way relationship seems possible. I'm into it together. Together. They set out to test the limitations of a restrictive society and their own sexuality. But a shocking event that rocks them to the core will have a deep and lasting effect on them. And as I said, no Wikipedia page, but I will provide the background that Betelnut is actually a type of berry that is chewed widely across Asia with effects similar to nicotine And also similar to nicotine it has a litany of negative health effects on nearly every part of your body So if you're not already chewing Betelnut, maybe don't start the description of the movie really really brown I think the description of the movie kind of sounds like

Eto mama tombian, but it has a dolphin show so it's got to be better, right? Yeah, because it's like E to Mama, Tom B.N. was Zeus and Roxanne thrown in. I think it's I mean, it sounds like E to Mama, Tom B.N. was a little bit of burning and those are both really good movies. So yeah, you know what? I this, I'll, I'll go nutty for it. I'll go nutty for it. Let's go nutty. I'll nuts and bolts to the theater to see it. I couldn't remember the category.

Okay. Stuart, you said you were into it as soon as you heard that there was a double-in-chip and a threesome. Here's a movie. As we go further back in time, I's I feel like there's more and more Okay, a chance that Elliott We'll have seen one of these not that they're all in like chronological order, but this one is yeah a little older This is from 1969 Perfect person. Yeah, it bears it. That's my favorite number in it 19

Ember rating and the title is some kind of a nut. And the description is, in this comedy, satire on conformity, Dick Van Dyke plays a Manhattan bank teller who grows a beard when he develops a rash from a beasting. He was properly fired from his job while his co-workers stand behind him.

And that again starts Dick Van Dyck, Angie Dickens, and as his wife and Rose Mary Forsyth, written and directed by Garcin Cainon, who wrote born yesterday in Adam's rib, and directed Mike Margaret Wife, as well as doing work on the screenplay. So that is some kind of a nut from 69. I have not seen that one.

I haven't seen it. Yeah. This one, you know, I mean, I'm supposed to be the sort of impartial moderator of this whole, it's hard. And you've been doing great job keeping your objectivity. Yeah. This is maybe towards the top of the list of movies

on this that I'm kind of curious about now, that you have Dick Van Dyke in a satire about conformity. So he grows a beard because he gets stung by a bug. What was the? Yeah, it gets stung by a bee or he gets a rash, grows a beard to cover it up, and then he's fired, presumably because now he looks like one of these newfangled hippies. Yeah. That's my guess. This is a movie that it sounds like there's a lot of potential, but the late 60s, especially were a time when there was a lot of kind of legubrious comedy with older people trying to kind

of grapple with the way young people do things. So I'm worried it might be one of those. And at some point Dick Fendake's going to go to like some kind of hippie rave and a band that was, I that had like a one hit, a wonder career at the time got hired to do it. And they'll just be a scene of them playing. Well, young women dance and Dick Fandex kind of dances in a goofy way. And it looks like confused and bizarre about what's going on like the Wildard. I'm worried that seems going to happen with a lot of flashing colors and lights and things like that, but maybe it doesn't. I know, I did dislike that kind of scene because you fear that someday you'll be the Dick Van

Dyke in that scene. I mean, I surrounded by young people dancing and I've, I'm feeling bewildered. I've always been the Dick Van Dyke in that scene. Even when I was a young person, I was the Dick Van Dyke in that scene. But it's more that the, there's, there's a, there's one of the, there's a lot of those movies that time where an older person is kind of confused by young people and that's played for laughs. And then they're like, this is the funniest thing that's ever existed. Let's have the scene go on for 17 and a half minutes. It's the same thing that happens with comedy car chases a lot of the time where they're like, you know what's funny? Cars kind of sliding around and bumping into each other.

Let's have that happen forever. We'll call it the Blues Brothers. Now, Elliot, I know the sort of late 60s movie and movie scene you're talking about, and I know the LaGubrius pacing you're talking about. The LaGubrius pacing is really the problem. I will, because I will say that while a modern show doing a thing where they're like, oh, aren't kids weird these days?

Generation gaps, rug. Like that would anger me. But I am charmed by seeing like films from earlier generations where out of it, adults make fun of with it teens. I guess so. Yeah, I could see that, sure. where out of it, adults make fun of with it teens. I guess so. Yeah, I could see that. Sure. So what do you guys say, though?

You, uh, are you? I mean, I'm on board. I'm on board for this one. Are you? I'm on board. Nutted up. Okay.

I'm gonna say nut for me on this one. Okay. So for the last film before our break for our sponsors, which better be fucking planners or some shit. Our sponsor day, which is, oh no, the peanut allergy safety council. Well, no, the answer is lagoon, so we're safe. Oh right, go ahead. Thank you. So of course, that's what I was worried about the legume-reus pace. So you know that you knew that this had to be on here from 1987. It's a little film called. Actually, we can write it on after after you mentioned nuts. I'll complain about look. I have a complaint about legumes. You know, you know, you know,

peanuts, not actually they go, you know, peanuts and actually a nut. It's about legumes. You know, you know, peanuts, not actually, they go, you know, peanuts, not actually a nut, it's a legume. And as if I'm supposed to know what the fuck a legume is, like I just go around knowing what legumes are all the time. Yeah, because it's weird for you to just wander around spouting facts. I'm just saying, the idea that I'm supposed to be like, oh, was a legume this whole time?

As if I have any, as if I have any. That changes everything. Other than a peanut being it. Yeah, exactly. You know, I need to amend my will. Would people go like a tomato is not a vegetable, but a fruit. I'm like, I've heard it before, but I know what fruit is. I know it vegetable is.

It makes sense. A legume. I don't know it's it's I only know it in terms of peanuts being it surprisingly when they're like Elliot. Tomato is a fruit not a vegetable. And it's like, I was gonna eat that shit anyway. Get away from me. Okay, well the air of onions, like just take a bite out of it.

Yeah. Well, the air of that announcement was only let out a little bit by Elliot's bean rant. Yeah, he worked in 1777. Elliot's a real bean dad. I am only in that I'm a dad and me and my family love to eat beans. That's the only one that was nothing in common. The plot of nuts. Hashtag.all bean nuts.

I've got nuts is is thus it goes with us. A high class call girl accused of murder fights for the right to stand trial rather than be declared mentally incompetent. Is that what nuts is about? Yeah, look at this. Listen to this cast. You got Barbara Streisand, Granger Dreyfus,

Marine Sape, Eli Wallach. Those are the top four. Do you say Eli Wallach? Eli Wallach is in it. It's based on an off, off, Broadway play by Tom Topor, not Torpor, as I originally thought. So he's not a vampire who's taken too much damage.

And instead of dying falls into this weird fugue state that's called. Yeah, exactly. And he's not Topor, the star of Fiddler on the roof. No, it's Tom Topor, who also wrote the accused. And this one's directed by Martin Ritt of the Longcott Summer summer HUD, Ombre, Normal Ray, and other films now. Is he related to the like, Ritt clothing or hair dye company? It's hair dye, right? Ritt?

How's it spelled? I don't know. I didn't know this was a spelling show. Well, you know, have your research in front of you before you ask your question. Dan, is Martin Ritt?itt is fair point, counselor. Is Mark Ritt related to Ritt F. Habiest Corpus? Yeah. That famous character.

That's the name of like a Dick Tracy side character. So, uh, Ritt, Ritt Dye is spelled R-I-T. Oh no, Mark Ritt spells his name of 2T's, right? Yeah. Much like a certain Elliott Kalen. 2T is the United me and Mark RIT. Oh no, Martin Rich spells his name of two T's, right? Yeah. It's like a certain Elliott Kaelin two T's the night. Me and Martin Rich brothers of two T's were two T brothers. Yes, you're real T T boy. Yeah. It's like T T Barnum said. Yeah. There's no such thing as bad publicity T T. If you flexed,lax. A few flax about. There's a sucker born every minute. That's what T.T.

Barnum said. This is Carl Moldins final film. It's also Leslie Nielsen's final dramatic film role. Before he became a creature with your ability. And yes, never looked back. And also Barbara Babs Streisanned got five million to appear in this film, which is the highest salary for an actress up until that point for nuts. Yeah, get that bag, honey. Big hit movie nuts based on a play. So I'll tell you why I'm

curious. I've never seen it, but I do remember seeing the commercials for nuts airing on WPAX channel 11 New York's movie station when I was a kid and thinking it must be a comedy because it's called nuts. And so, so I'm very curious to see it. I've, it's one of these movies from the, I feel like there's a lot of movies from the 80s, but I never saw because I wasn't old enough to see them at the time and they just never got around to them later. Yeah. And I've been slowly catching up on that. So yeah, I would go to see nuts. Yeah, you're like a robot cop.

Okay. Only Detroit, I guess. This is another one of the top ones on this list that I'm actually going to curious about, both for the, of course, top notch cast. And also top nuts cast, top nuts cast. Also to flashback. Heback to a time when actors were highly paid for starting in courtroom dramas and.

Yeah, so what other characters do they reveal in the end credit scenes that then go on to to be in the sequels? Like his man. Oh, okay, I see. Yeah, that's kind. I just get paid a lot of money for now is to play a character who showed up in a few books in the 1960s. And now they're run that that's the only characters left. So that's right. Hit the troll in it. I mean, pit the trolls a great character.

Anyone from the Starland world is a great character. You know, this isn't really a spoiler. It's a don't bother to stick around. There's no very end of the post credit scene and we kind of forget forever and I was so relieved. It's like, yeah, sure. Why not? Cool, let's just let them.

There's just like a middle of the credit scene. There's shortly after the beginning of the credits, we pop back for a little bit of something. Dang, is it pip the troll? No, pip the troll is nowhere to be seen. Oh, spoiler everybody. Make sure we put the spoiler tag in front of the spoiler. Spoiler no pip the troll and we got no problem.

This is made an NP for no pips. I feel like that's a mercy on the audience because that movie is like two hours and 40 minutes long, right? What kind of a live insin yet, but I'll tell you the only two are right. Well, the only part forever. Man, what is Wakanda forever? Actually, actually the only parts I felt bored during Wakanda forever were the standard issue, uh, pre-vis Marvel fight scenes that were just as boring as they happened. Yeah. Every time I see the poster, I can't stop thinking about that fucking tweet about Ruth Konda forever. And it both makes me happy and makes me want to die forever. That was horrible.

Yeah. My Nolo, guys what? Manolo, guys what? What? What? What? What? What?, guys what? Why, why, why? Doctor GameChoice made it to 100 episodes on Maximum Fun. Oh, that's true, I knew that.

Oh, man, you should have checked with them to see if he could get paid extra. Yeah. Oh, I know. I know. So my future is in advertising or should I say not advertising? Dan, take us back to the nuts, shall we? Yeah. Well, transition.

The next title. Talk about a nut twist. Who is this George Luke? Luke Egglay for nuts. We return to one of the more recognizable titles on the list, despite being a huge bomb. This one is from the peanut butter solution, like 1994. It is called mixed nuts. I figured mixed nuts was the one you were talking about. PG 13.

What's the story of mixed nuts? I'm glad you asked. Philip runs a crisis hotline with Catherine and Mrs. Munchnik. I don't know if she's related to Munchnik from the, but this is Munchnik, I guess. That's the easy part. Now it gets tricky.

Stan Lee changes all names. Yeah, yeah. Stan Lee loves evicting people and he evicts Philip. Philip loves helping people and he's loved by Catherine. Catherine is loved by Louis who loves writing songs. Chris loves dancing to songs and loves to wear large stresses. Gracie also loves to wear large stresses because she's pregnant. She loves the baby's father Felix who loves to paint.

Dana, you okay? Jesus leaves Mrs. Munchnick who hasn't been loved by anybody in a very long time Whoever Whatever user of iMGB who wrote that Congratulations. This is this is a film directed by the queen of romantic comedy nor nor aphron and co-written with her sister Delia aphron starring Steve Martin Madeline con Robert Klein Klein, Anthony LaPaglia, who else is in there? He got what's his face?

He hit her very shambling. What's his face is in it? Adam Sandler, young Adam Sandler, many other notable comedians and stars. It had a box office of 6.8 million on a budget of 20 million. It's a remake of the French comedy La Père Noelle asked Un Order and it's a leopid. What is that directly translated in? Well Father Christmas is something, right?

Yeah, Father Christmas is a something. I don't, let's look up with the real that shit in the Google translate. Yeah, let's see. Bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, wait, why? Okay. Dan has trouble with Google translate. I'll just say that.

This is another one that I've never seen, but I'm curious about, if only because it's one of those movies that has an amazing cast, and yet, and I remember seeing ads for it, and yet, I've never heard anyone talk about it ever in the history of my life. So, I'm intrigued by flops of this era. The mid 90s, early mid 90s. Yeah, I mean, I guess they're kind of boring usually, but that's just because they don't have enough. They're not faster, furious enough for me.

Guys, guys. I think there's something about movies from that time, because I grew up during that time where it's like, oh, it feels like coming home. Like, movies from like the late 80s, early 90s, it's like, oh, this is, this is, I can pull these on like an old pair of sweatpants, you know, like some cozy pajamas. Two legs at the same time. Yeah, just, well, what I do is I, I put them on my sweatpants frame and then I jump into them.

I climb on the bed and I jump into them into the pants off of that. Yeah. Now you got to shut up, this is a good pay off. Okay. The meaning is, quote, solid waste from the bowels of people or animals. So basically, Father Christmas is a shit. Is the, oh, I see. So there you are.

That's a better title than Mix Nuts, but it doesn't apply to the game. That's true. Yeah. Unless there's nuts in the shit. You never know sometimes. So they don't digest easily. You both were going to go nutty for mixed nuts is what I heard. I think I think so. Yeah, I feel like that's a good interpretation of what we just said. Okay. Well, you know, next up is a film from 1968. This is a... 2001, a nut Odyssey. This is a...

Soviet movie. It's a nut nut nut nut world. The nuts are coming. The nuts are coming. A Soviet film from 68. It's key words for genre on IMGB are comedy romance war film. And it's called... That's very... That's only the Soviets can do that.

It's called a hard little nut. And the description is during World War Two, two Soviet soldiers, man and woman, accidentally parachute into a Nazi camp. The film's title is a pun on the word nut in Russian. Aurechek, as the lead character characters last name is or a Shaqina. So that's all the information I have on a hard little nut. There's not a lot about it to be found. But Ellie, this seems like I don't know. I've got I've figured across the sounds maybe up your alley.

It totally sounds like I've never seen it. You know me when it comes to Eastern European movies, I know the cheque, the former Czechoslovakia better than I know Russia when it comes to 60s comedies. But yeah, it sounds, it sounds super fun to me. I mean, it's got all the, all the things you need in for, for a comedy, you've got the horrific Soviet experience of World War II. You've got the free is Nazi camp, which you can't go along with that in the comedy description. But yeah, I think I'm going to have to try to find some of that. Maybe when they say camp, they mean like a camp ground. It's possible. Yeah, maybe it was summer camp. And, and you know, if there's a country

that did humor well, it was the US and S.R., which made us a selection of different states, different countries. I mean, it's not that far from Hogan's heroes, right? No, that's true. And Hogan's heroes, as everyone knows, is a laugh riot, a gut-pasting laugh riot, that in no way makes light tastelessly of a particularly terrible time in human history. But I feel like I do wanna see it.

I'm just curious about it. Okay, I'll ask George. Although, you know, there's, I'm just saying, there's, you know, there's going to be some scene where the Nazis are at some kind of hippie rave and there's a rock and pole band playing and there's like, I'm saying, young ladies dancing and flashing lights and colors. And the Nazis are like, oh, what? They're bewildered. You know, like, groovy baby. Uh-huh. Shaggedell, like, so if it's gonna be Shaggedell, like, I guess it's, uh, I'm going nuts for it. Yeah. Sounds like it. We're nuts for this one, yeah.

Here's another, uh, our second film, uh, that is based on a play. It's based on a, on a, the 1925 play of the same name. It's called The Poor nut, 1927. Synopsis, a shy botany student, is infatuated with a girl, but gives her the wrong impression of what he's really like. That could mean nearly anything. But that's your imagination runs wild. Let him run wild. Directed by Richard Wallace of a night to remember starring Jack Mulhall, Charles Murray and Gene Arthur and a little bit of trivia. This was Paul Kelly's last film before he was convicted of manslaughter and sent to prison

in mid-1927 by the time it was released. Oh, fun. Kelly was behind bars and distributors opted to remove Kelly's name from the credits even though he was featured in a prominent role So I got I got interrupted and say thank you for allowing us to rightfully add the true crime tag to this episode Finally Yeah, so this sounds pretty good like I love I love romantic comedies that also include science like love potion number nine and hollow man so I'm into it. Oh man, wait a second.

Stewart is I've only started hollow man away from away from his microphone with like a little devil look. Stewart has wielded out of camera. Got him. Sounds pretty good. Okay. Well, the poor nut. What do you think about this? Does this sound up your alley? It's about a botany student and graduated girl gives her the wrong impression of what he's really like.

Yeah. I mean, who am I going to say? Not to be missed. Who am I going to say early in our romantic relationships, maybe don't, you know, present the full truth of who we are as a person. It's a relatable story. Now, I, it's, yeah, it's, we've all been there. We're all been botany students. He's making a hard sale over here.

He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. He's making a hard sale over here. I bought some stock in the porn net. You probably pushed that porn net.

Sure. You bought the stock before you learned about the Paul Kelly thing. Yeah. I will say I'm looking it up now on IMDB. I'm not familiar with it, but I see Gene Arthur is listed as one of the cast members. And I love Gene Arthur. Who doesn't? From Mr. Smith goes to Washington, Mr. Deeds goes to town.

Did you can't take it with you. She's in lots of great stuff. Is she related to Arthur? The guy who who stuck between a moon in New York City? No, but she is related to Arthur the art park from the children's book and television series. Did we ever do? Do we ever, do you want to rescue Arthur? I'm a child of life. This book, damn, that's what happens. Let this be a lesson to masturbators everywhere.

The man didn't have enough, didn't have enough seamen weighing him down, and now he's caught between the moon. That's a good point. Yeah, there you go. Well, with that, we go to our final film of the night. This one's from 1935. Third film adapted from a play of the same name. Well, Elliot is drooling when you said 1935.

He's like, I can't wait. I was like the wolf in the, in the tech savory cartoons. Tongue lulled out head turned into a scene whistle. Yeah. It's called the nut farm. It stars walls Ford and Betty Alden and is structured by George Wagner of the fighting Kentucky and in the wolf man.

The synopsis is Bob and Helen decide to move to California and make a fresh start. Bob wants to buy a nut farm, but Helen's the title, but Helen dreams of being in the movies. While Bob is looking for a farm to buy, Helen is taken in by a group of scam artists who promised to make her a star. Helen's brother Willie tries to prevent her and Bob from losing all their money to the scam artists. That's the nut farm. I do like the introduction of Willie late in the game on that description.

I was surprised he was reading it. Yeah. So it was a real twist. So you know, if people can buy a zoo, they might as well buy a fucking nut farm. So I mean, yeah, farm is a good start out of nuts. Might as well. File hole farmer those nuts. Yeah, fuck it. I mean, I drink milk made out of all the time. Let's go into the pencil, please.

I got the only problem is I had a nut farm briefly and unfortunately the nutcracker showed up. And that kind of his whole army, they just wrecked all my nuts. And I was like, I had to call in a rat king to get him to leave and it was a whole deal. It was a whole other deal. And I have a nut farm allergy, not to nuts, but as soon as they're gathered together, agriculturally. You just get to the agricultural techniques that that that ray is such a crop, yeah. Well, what do you guys think? Are you going to go nut for the nut?

I go nuts for nuts. I'm definitely nuts for the the new role for nuts I'm gonna say I'm gonna say nut without my daughter. Let me out that movie I'm gonna say nut thing will keep me from seeing the nut farm It's got all this work in it. the work to do you being the nut farm. Well, it's worth is it one is a cast member, a supporting cast member of my second favorite movie of all time, Shadow of a doubt. So yeah, I'm going to have to see maybe the nut farm also has the spine tingling thrills that one of Hitchcock's great underheralded masterpieces also possesses

because it's got the same actor in it. Yeah, it's probably the same. Now what if, now Dan, if you had to choose one of these movies to be mashed together with another one of these movies, which would it be? In some sort of sort of nut, like a nut medley or a paste. Exactly. Yeah. It's a motion into a butter or a paste, yeah. Oh, well, I mean, like in a sort of a culinary way

or as a movie. Yes, because I feel like as a movie. Okay, because I feel like culinary, you want to have the mixed nuts in there no matter what, because you get why when I give nuts. I would argue whichever variety is a more fertile vein for improv comedy.

Let's see. Let's put mix nuts and nuts together so that Barbara Streisand can call the crisis line that Steve Martin had. She is in crisis. They're trying to make her out that she has lost her sanity. And this is why she's a prize in the reasonable. Yeah. Well, that was the thing I did. Oops, all nuts.

As she was, oops, all nuts. Oops, all nuts. As it was the knife winds down. That nutty moon is high in the sky. Yeah, so why not turn off this podcast and if you want it, not take place and you know not in November, you can. And if you don't, that's fine too.

Do whatever you want. Don't do some stupid thing. Based on some stupid fake science. I'm just worried, I'm just worried that what Dan's gonna do for D's nuts December, that's gonna be tough. Yeah. So Dan, so you know what? Yeah, if you want, if you wanna watch a movie about nuts,

if you wanna eat a nut, if you wanna be a nut, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. I'm loving watching you guys come up with ways to come up with this like final solo liquid. Yeah, there's no real like less and fuller. It's already here. I'm just trying to come up.

Remember what I saw in the nut, China monologues. Yeah, exactly. The series of series of homologen by Eve Nutsler. Uh, so always remember nut stands for never underestimate this. The pot test, the flop. The essence nuts is the last letter of the this. The T stood for. That's mask.
