Mr. Tango has spoken very eloquently. I wish I could be as forgiving. But I can't because this whole thing... Fucking sucks! Hey everyone, welcome to the flop house, I'm Dan McCoy. I'm Stuart Wellendton. And I'm Elliott Kaelin waiting for Stuart to say his name. You know what I could say. I was just trying to buy your head head head bones. You know why it's particularly odd that you forgot to say that. Why is that? It's our 100th episode. What a 100 blocks what 100 nights 100 days to have the time of your life It's the flop house number 100 we watch the story yeah starring

Dan McCoy Oh Stewart welling them and Elliott Kalen as Elliot. I mean we did this part already Oh right well that I didn't get to do my song yet Yeah, I would mean, you know, we're celebrating our 100th episode. It's a big deal. It's a deal around these parts. I mean, it would be a big deal if we hadn't also

done a bunch of movie minutes. So our technical 100th thing that we put out was a long time ago. And also, I think there's some flopp tacklers, some awards flopp tacklers. Also, we have a lot of guest spots. So none of only Dan, you're the only one who's been in all 100 episodes.

Yeah. I'm 100 years old, guys. I don't think. 100 years old. I don't think that's how it works. So here's the 200. See you guys later. Was that it?

Was that the ending? Stuart just, wait, Stuart just put a night cap on his head and now he's crawling up on a tiny bed in a matchbook. It is adorable. It's really cute. We gotta need to wake him up for the show. Stuart, so I'm assuming most of the people out there are first time listeners. They're like 100 episodes of what the fuck they do in this episode. Well, I mean, you know, like their listeners out there who are like, listeners. Yeah. And they're like 100 episodes of what the fuck they do. And that's so true. Well, I mean, they're listeners out there who are like,

I'm not going to listen to a podcast and tell it gets to 100 episodes. It has staying power. I want to make sure that I listen to that around 100 episodes. Until that podcast has syndication potential. I'm not interested. Yeah. That's what you need 100 episodes.

Yeah, well, that was the old standard used to be to get into syndication. It was best to have a hundred episodes Because then you could run it regularly without running the same episodes too many times Oh, no, now plenty of shows that don't have a hundred episodes end up in syndication Yeah, I think I keep seeing the same episode of scrubs like every day. Yeah, well scrubs big bang theory a lot of newer shows are getting in syndication Sometimes it like in case of a big bang theory before the show

indication, sometimes it like in case of a victory before it. The show. But that's a big story. Yeah. Boontown, Southland tales. It's like Tyler Perry podcast went into syndication after a week because they just like churned those fuckers out. No, it's not. It's not man.

Let's get it. Let's get those numbers up. Get, get, get, get. So what do we do on this podcast? I'm sorry. So about churning numbers. Yeah. So what do we do on this podcast? About shurning numbers. This is a podcast about movies,

or we watch a movie that is perhaps not good. But perhaps very good. Well, they'll get your cell mark. Question mark, question mark. But then we discuss it after we've spent a little time together. Normally we review movies that have been recently released and are either critical or financial flubs. Yes.

Actually both. What do we do this time to mark our special occasion, Dan? We watched a movie that has been much discussed in previous episodes, but in passing, not in death. Oh, good. And that movie is Tango Ampersand Cash. Yeah, that old favorite, Tango Space Ampersand Space Cash. Starring everyone's favorite, Slice the Loan and... So that's the first one.

Russell. Yeah. Slice the Pies the Loan and Kurt the Hurt Russell. And who else? Oh, it's an old circus. Jack the Balance Palants. Jack the Balance Hallens there's a Terry the fairy hatcher yeah Michael J hollard Pollard James wrong honn Robert Gabbard Zadar and Clint the Flint Howard oh well changed it up changed it up changed off the rhyme scheme in the last that slightly. Yeah Who else is in the movie? Who else see lots of big stars? So the the skies were dark. We're all the stars were in the movie So is that the beginning of George R. R. Martin's review?

Jar Jar R. Martin. Jar Jar Martin is the character that a George R. Martin put into his novels after the fact. Mm-hmm. Everybody hates him. He's super racist. He doesn't have a long beard though. This is a what made us think Tangling Cash. First before we get into what Tangling Cash is about, for those few members of the audience who have not yet been lucky enough to experience the pure beautiful perfection that is Tangling Cash. spoiler alert what why tango and cash Dan well i think that for all of us i think we look at it as the apex of a certain type of 1980s uh... filmmaking yes some would say the capstone of eighties action filmmaking in fact i would say

that and i just did yeah you did what we were watching it, like, four times. I just quoted myself. Oh, yeah, I guess I, ah, the capstone. They should've called this movie Tango and Capstone. They should've gotten Kate Capshaw and Sharon Stone or Capstone, as I call them. Solving crimes. Getting into boy trouble. Yeah, it's a movie that seems to have been made by an alien race of movie

goers who all they know about police work has come from 1980s movies and then they decided to make the ultimate version of that. Well, it's weird because this seems to be a movie from before irony had infected filmmaking because watching it, it feels like a comedy about over the top action movies but it is not. Well, I mean, like it's a comedy action movie, but it's not meant to be a joke on action movies. Yeah, it is supposed to be funny, but it's supposed to be funny in like the one-liners or the fanta. The one-liners or the fanta. They're going back and forth, or the fact that Kurt Russell dresses up like a lady at one point. Yeah. But what's actually funny is how over the top the action clearest shades are and how unfundly the banter is. But everything about like the music is super 80s.

The acting is super 80s the way it looks the way it moves the editing the story the dialogue everything about it is like all the worst things about 1980s movies put together and they mesh so well together. You know. Stuart, I'm just thinking about tango and cash. So should we go over what the movie is about? Let's spin a tail. Yeah, so imagine you've never seen tango and cash, L its now going to tell you about it.

Okay. Imagine it's a million years in the future. And the most important movie ever made has been passed in an or on history on or 23 years in the past when Tagoukash actually came out. No, no, I'm saying like through the years, Tagoukash has been told from person to person. Oh, yes. Oral storytelling. Well, here's, you asked me why the stars are in the sky and whether happens. Here's a story that I think might explain it.

I like it. Thousands of years ago. Where are younglings I'm assuming at this point? Your younglings, Dan is an old-per-is-ageling. Sure. But you're regular youngling. So we open, it's a road outside of Los Angeles where police, dynamo, Ray Tango, Sylvester Stallone,

who you know is kind of a business like professional type because he wears a three-piece suit and glasses, is driving his car. He is interrupting or continuing the chase of a gasoline truck that he thinks is up to some nefarious business. The truck is being driven by Robert Zadar. So he's a villain? Yeah, he's his the man you may know is having a huge face from such movies as maniac cop and soul-taker. And Sylvester Stallone is told back off from that truck we're at our jurisdiction. And he says, no, I've been on this case for three months or something like that. He drives in front of the truck, then gets out of his car

and starts standing, just stands in the path of this huge tanker truck, shooting his gun into the windshield. He's revolver into the windshield. Yeah. We put special bullets in it though. I mean, I don't, I still don't think I think they are special. I mean, like, it's putting MC out as gun and put in special. I think he just power the engine. He seems like his barrel length at least we shouldn't be larger. Well, he's not like he's, he shoots like a snub nose. Yeah, he doesn't go. Okay, anyway, especially a movie where later on they're all firing giant ass guns. Well, they have to build up to the guns. He started at 10. You got nowhere left to go. Start at two and then you work way up to 10 guns. Yeah, because if he brought out a huge gun later on people

would be like, see, you know, just using that big gun again. Exactly. He forces the truck to stop just short of killing him and the two bad guys driving it fly through the windshield and landed his feet. There's a little homophobic banter between the two of them. The Sheriff's Department comes over. This is just a normal gasoline truck. What are you doing here asshole? I need your badge number and he says something pithy and then he shoots the tanker and I guess cocaine falls out. Yeah.

And he says, look, it's snowing and it turns out it's drugs. You want to get high? Yes. His pithy quip is anyone want to get high. Ray Tango has done it again. He stopped another huge drug load. And then Jack Poundz drives by because apparently he personally supervises his drug-transparent. He's just, you know, drive a little bit behind the trucks, keep an eye on them. And he's made a sure.

He's two Hinch Goons. His two Hinch Goons, James Hong and another actor who I don't know his name. He may remember James Hong as low-pan from Big Trouble Move Chalk. Or if you saw the day the Earth stood still, the new one, he's the old Chinese man who talks to Kiana Reeves. Uh, he's a career as father in wings world to he is in a ton of movies. He's basically just low pan. Low pan is the most important thing.

You may remember him as president of the Asian American actors association. Low pan. Uh, he's also played low pan. Yeah. Now, uh, Jack Palin's is very unhappy. Ray Tango has been a thorn in his side for a long time. And he's also mad at a man named Gabriel Cash who we haven't met yet. Mm-hmm.

Cut to, right? I don't know. Yeah, every time I'm in the yard, it cuts to the impression of Gabriel Cash. Gabriel Cash is a sloppy kind of hot dog. Hot dog. Although the fact, so if it's slow, doesn doesn't like Kurt Russell because he's a hot dog So if a slow did stand in the pathway of the tanker track same character one of them wears a suit and the other one wears a wife Peter and that's what's different about the no-dane what differentiates them is their ideologies

Okay, and their ethics so Gabriel Cash not a Gabriel Cash is coming home from grocery shopping. He's just kind of a slavvy ordinary guy. He looks in the mirror on his wall, suddenly an Asian guy with a gun smashes through it and a flat top. Yeah. And shoots at him, hits him in his bulletproof vest. Gabriel Cash shoots the, shoots the, it would be assassin with a gun hidden in the soul of his boot.

So when he points the soul of his feet at people, he can shoot them with it. The two of them get into a chase. Very dangerous when he crosses his legs. Yeah, he's not a good. That's what originally happened in that scene from Basic Inspection. When Kurt Russell was playing the Sharon Stone part. I'm glad they recast that. Yeah.

I mean, you know, they're both sexy people, but it just seems a little weird with him in that role. They raise a lot of questions. Yeah. About sexuality, about your sexuality. Well, why is everyone treating him like he's a beautiful one? That was the main question. Yeah.

Why does Newman from side fell to find him so attractive? Yeah. So anyway, there's a big chase sequence. I mean, he's got a really great hair though. I mean, we got the read of that. Yeah. They have a car chase. I think it's shape.

That involves they're in a parking garage. They almost hit a homeless person with a supermarket shopping cart full of cans. A Russian guy packing boxes into his car for some reason. Yep. And two people having sex in the back seat of the car. And two people having sex in the back seat of the car. Come back to the discs. Yeah, toilet paper.

Well, Walkman, this is 1989. Oh, okay. Yeah, so he, yeah, he destroys a bunch of cars to get this guy. There's a complete, you know, like a fucking gumball destruction rally in this thing. It's hard to really describe how great it is. Yeah. A lot of cars smashing into each other over and over again. Yeah, I'm like, it's exploding. Two totally naked people in the back seat of a car having sex, because I guess they're

driving around nude inside the park in the parking garage and have sex there. Who knows? Anyway, it gets hot out in the sun and I like back at the police station. Ray Tango has a talk with a woman played by Terry Hatcher who they both care about each other and Kurt Russell in a kind of locker room slash men's bathroom slash interrogation room. He beats up the assassin to find out who the assassin's boss was. Long story short, Tango and Cash both get set up. They get sent to a spooky house, slash steam factory, slash a band in the department.

Like a spooky mansion that they have to spend the night in to get their inheritance? Not exactly, but it's like, you know the place that the toy maker lives in Blade Runner. It's because it's kind of an abandoned building full of smoke. It was basically one of those. They go there and they find a federal agent killed and drugs and money all over the place. And they're being recorded. Something doesn't make sense. They're arrested.

Please come in. Oh no, Tanglin Cash have been set up by the bad guys to look like they're a bunch of major league drug dealers. Dirty cops. To make them look like dirty cops. I do like that when the cops bust them They you know they have their guns on tango and cash who have been all over the newspaper like they they're so famous That days newspaper both tango and cash appear on the front page and different stories They're so famous it could just say cash makes another bust. Yeah, everyone knows with them cash was below the fold though

So I guess tango beat him on that one. Yeah. No, no tango is the number one cop. Yeah. But they should be recognized by the police officers. These are two. Don't seem to recognize them. Two most famous police officers in the city. I'm saying country. Can you name one police officer? Uh, police commissioner Ray Kelly. Okay. Well, he's a police commissioner. That's right. Can you name a regular cop? He could be a detective plane, plane clothes. I mean, I do, but he's a personal friend. I don't know. Yeah. That doesn't count.

No, like, it doesn't count if it's someone you know personally. Commissioner Gordon. Oh, yeah. He's also a commissioner and fictional. Okay. Uh, I guess if you look around, there's a commissioner named Gordon somewhere. And he's always making. Well, there's certainly a fisherman named Gordon somewhere and he's always making just a little fishermen named Gordon so.

Yeah, he does get work. Yeah, but that even just that yellow slicker catch a lot of fish. Yeah, and he doesn't single hand it because he doesn't believe in unions. So the two of them have been set up. They go to trial and for some reason they decide to plea bargain, even though they know they're innocent, they plea bargain to get a minimum sentence that a minimum security prison. Well, it's looking pretty bad for them. I mean, there's, you know, there's just Dr. Tape that implicates them.

There's some other bullshit, you know, they are going to get off. They got to take the, they got to cop a plea. Yeah, yeah, they need to take the years. Yeah, so Jack, do the crime, do the time, you know what I mean? But they didn't do the crime. Oh, okay. Jack Pounds has set this all up. They think they're going to go to a minimum security prison, then suddenly they get delivered

to the most maximum security of prisons. Yeah, it's like a hellscape. It literally is, they're walking down the hallway to their cells and there's literally people throwing fire at them. After a nice shower break between the two of them. Oh yeah, the two of them have a shower where they talk about each other's penis size and how they hate each other. I think they turn all the faucets on, all the spigots. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. All of the shower heads are spraying around. Is that to make sure they don't get recorded? Is that what we're trying to think? I think that's because it looks better. There's one like a real massage like they want to

do. There's a lot they want to be able to walk around and still have water on your body. It gets cold if you have only one. Ray Tangle likes to take what he calls pacing showers. Where he walks back and forth under multiple showers. It's better when he's showering and he else thinks better when he's in motion. Yeah. both of those things together like if you're set up by the crooked crooked cops You know, you got to get you got to be at 100% with your mental power. She got to figure that shit out I mean, I don't think he was actually set up by the crooked cops though I thought he was set up by Jack Pallance the drug the drug kingpin and the crooked officials were all FBI I think no because the prison guys are all crooked too. Oh, yeah, the prison board is

best guards money can buy yeah, prison hellscape that they sent you that everyone appears to be a bag even like the guards the prisoners everyone seems to be evil. They each have trouble with their cell mates. Kurt Russell's is a big tough guy who won't let him use the toilet. So Vestress Falones is Clint Howard it's playing the roley, a crazy guy who's always making noise with a Slingy. So Vestor's Faloans beats him up. In the middle of the night, our two heroes pulled out of their cells and taken down to the laundry basement,

where they are beaten up and tortured and almost electrocuted to death. And it also Jack Pound steps out of the shadows for no purpose other than to introduce himself with and his main good. He has a cockney goon with a terrible English accent who says a lot of stuff like, Hey, governor, what's all well? I'll do. Send you for a toss. You're right, but I know you're probably thinking he's played by live. Oh, and that is a great live-o in impression. Yeah. I wish the guy in the movie was as good. But

no, I have to say that like at that point, at that point in the movie, tango cash have no idea who set them up. They don't even know that Jack Pounce exists. So the fact that Jack Pounce just drops by the like, Hey, guys, there's been a scene before that where, uh, where cash seems to think seems to know who did it. jack pounce is Lopez, right? No, where's he Perez? His name is no, his name is Eve Perret. I don't know they say Perret But sometimes it sounds like Perez. He said low. He thought it was Lopez one of Perret's goons that isn't Oh, okay. I got mixed up. He low pan low pees per

But then he's right, but then he knows who did it because it was set up by Jack Pounce's goons Yeah, yeah, but he doesn't who did it because it was set up by Jack Pounds as Goons. Yeah, but he doesn't, but they aren't aware of who the shadowy puppet that's true. That's true. No idea. And that's the thing when you're a game master like that, you need to show the mice that are running through the hoops. You need to show them whose boss.

I mean, maize. Yeah, whatever. There is Jack Pounds does have two pet mice that he kisses and caresses and he puts them in a maze in the bar top of his office And he likes to say tango cash in the maze Running together well tango and cash cash and tango he like it becomes a build a fucking diorama to explain His goons are not very no and in palatins dies because he doesn't take the safety office Oozzi later on and Jack found the way he says it. It's how it's just become slam to poetry after a while

I tango through the cash of your tangos So they're in this laundry basement with steam all over the place. They almost get electrocuted being attacked Robert Zadar big face is just laughing his big face off. That's a lot of laughing. And then suddenly, they're being electrocuted one after the other. And then suddenly the guards rush in, right, and save them. Yep. And then Jack Balanson and his Krakny Kroni disappear into the mix. Basically just by stepping behind laundry machines in the disappearing.

Yeah, well I mean like that's why you have your big brawl in like a laundry room. You don't need smoke bombs there. There's just so much steam from the laundry machines. Just a natural product of a late night laundry room. I think that was the original title for Midnight Meat Train. It's late night laundry room. Didn't go too well. No, neither did Midnight Meat Train. Right, I think it was the original title for midnight meat train. It's late night laundry room. Didn't go over too well. No neither did the night. Would it be fun? When would we scare you if it was on a train and it was you know train full of meat at midnight? Yeah, okay, that's yeah, okay.

So then they talk about some other bullshit they meet cash is friend they meet cash is friend the assistant warden who's gonna help them escape Cash tango says I'm not gonna be gotten on a yet, and it's been for, we've been talking about this forever. Yeah, well, they- We want to go over every intricate element of Tango and Cash, don't we? Okay, well, we'll go through a little faster. Tango doesn't, doesn't trust this guy. Cash does.

Cash tries to escape. He gets caught. A bunch of the evil guards being led by Robert Zadar, big face, chase after him through huge turbines, and this is a prison that has all these things that doesn't make sense why a prison would have them, such as huge turbine rooms. This is another example of this movie being made by people who just only see movies. They're like, it would be cool if a prison had a big like fucking fan in it to go through. Let's have an escape through a building.

Okay, well, what do buildings have in them so we can build this escape? Well, we know from the movies we've seen that buildings have giant turbines They're big basements full of steam and not that much else. They've got tunnels all over the place It's always raining in buildings all the time There's kind of a zip line electric power lines that you can zip line across anyway, so Short story long story short they escape in the escape attempt they get beat up a lot and Robert Zadar is electrocuted at while attacking so I was just alone with a grappling hook

But they got somewhere he does not come back to life like Ernest and Ernest goes to jail He doesn't he doesn't get electricity powers you're saying he does not he just grab, he gets electricated and dies like a normal human being. He doesn't turn into like the electric Gremlin from Gremlin's to and get stuck in a phone. Nope. He's just a dead hunk of me. He doesn't get brought back to life by the electricity to be super alive. I mean, he that actually might happen, but they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, it's not like in, what about the movie shockers, anything like that? Uh, you mean the start of a failed horror franchise? Yeah. Yes, it is. It's like in Friday, 13th when Jason has that pole in his chest and the lightning hits it and it brings him back to life.

Um, I mean, once again, that might happen, but it happens off camera. Okay. So when I write my the jaw fan fiction because the character is called the jaw, I'll, uh, I'll maybe I'll bring that's how I'll bring him back. Yeah, I mean, of course, he's going to come back. He blasts his way out of the sardine like that. Yeah, and his last line as he dies is Tango, which is great. So anyway, they escape. They're running through the streets of LA. They don't know what to do. Cash goes to meet up with Tango's, turns out to be a sister, Terry Hatcher, who dances at the Cleopatra Club to escape.

turns out to be a sister, Terry Hatcher, who dances at the Cleopatra Club to escape. Yes, also in front of a GI fan. Yes, also, it's like the set for SNL for the musical guests, like used to be. And to escape from there, Kurt Russell has to briefly walk through a dressing room full of topless women, then dress like a woman and get out. He's almost stopped by a horny cop who is distracted by Terry Hatcher and then comes on to court russell uh... meanwhile so vester still own goes to the head of the police or something like one of the crooked cops who's what high up in the force

uh... he has the best line of the entire movie in my opinion which is the crooked cops pull in some cold spaghetti out of a bowl of cold pasta out of the refrigerator closer a nosh or something closes the fridge door still owns right there with a gun. He says, well, it's clear from your diet, you're not counting your calories. You must be too busy counting the money. They paid you to set us up. Beautifully written, beautifully delivered. So that's still learns a little bit from him before that guy blows up. Then, Tanglin Cash meet up again at Terry Hatcher's house,

they're old boss who believes in them. And the meantime, cash has gone to the guy who assembled the fake tape. Oh, right. And got the nerdy soundage in here. Yeah. Got him hamdicking fast. So there has been a little actual police work that occurred.

There was a little bit. Yeah. The two of them, their old boss comes by and says, I trust you guys, I'll give you 24 hours to solve this case. Figure out who framed you. Mm-hmm. And of course. Cheers to doing that to begin with. I mean, come on.

Yeah, basically. But the first step after that, of course, the obvious step is to go to the LAPD's SuperWeapons lab and meet up with Michael J. Pollard as the retarded weapons genius. I don't know if listeners realize this, but every major metropolitan area has a weapons genius like sort of a cue figure, an experimental weapon to convince things like say a robot

doberman that shoots out of its head. What does he also have? Well, he makes for them a super car, but he also has some big guns. And a fucking giant magnifying glass. I think that's about it. He always has a giant magnifying glass in front of his face. I think he invented, he might have invented steam punk.

Yeah, with that magnifying glass. The match to his pump is pretty old, so. Well, back then it was just regular. It was just quite weird. The steam punk is all about the past so 1989 that was back when people still work corsets top hats goggles and jules verran was writing you know as most famous works like bonfire the vanities in space space fire of the of the vanities on the moon and around the grandlands in 80 days. Yeah, the book, Gremlins. Do movie novelizations count as books? Is that a best out of the 80s?

Sure. I mean, they still count as books. It's not like they're not full of words and stuff. Yeah, that's true. His big hit. Right, that leads under the he-man. I wrote at least one book report on the teenage beauty of turtles the movie Adaptation There's way more stuff in that by out Dean Foster Could have been he does read a lot of those Anyway, so they get a super car with a big machine gun on it of course from which was the last piece of the puzzle course from the last piece of the puzzle. And they go to the super compound of the drug kingpin, which is an abandoned army air force base, which now I guess a drug kingpin owns

and it's like huge and he has all these giant construction monster vehicles. Yeah, it's like a giant quarry. Yeah, it is a quarry basically. Yeah. And there's a big car chase explosions. The Superman gets all screwed up And they run through the place of the Superman riding around and then explosions happening to the sides while Jack Palin's is watching on his model there and like going Yeah, or like oh, just get him are They get into the big gun room take some guns Gosh are cash they get into the big gun room take some guns gosh and wrangle dodge to wrangle Casey Stangle

Jack you do it again I think you're drifting I think no no that's good stuff. Rashed and mango. Okay. We'll fix it in post. They go to the go into the hideout and it turns out Jack Pounds is kidnapped, Terry Hatcher. Sure. And then pushes the self-destruct button for the building. Because most buildings have those.

They have 11 minutes to get up there and kill the bad guy, get Terry Hatcher back. And they go up there, there's a lot of fighting, shooting, people get shot, explosions. And you know, Benjamin gets introduced who only kicks. Yeah, he's a super kick fighter. He fights Sylvester Stallone. Well, Kurt Russell fights the Cockney English guy.

Yeah, so he mostly does like those downward kicks, it's mostly him like leaping up in the air, like an Mexican down. Yeah. Through a lot of, yeah, might only use it to destroy glass shelves with crystal on it. Because Jack Palin's loves glass. He loves glass crystal easily breakable things. This is all in his office, by the way.

The Kurt Russell blows up the English guy with a grenade, which is a call back to an earlier scene when Sylvester Stallone threatened the English guy with a grenade. Sylv a call back to an earlier scene when Sylvester Sloan threatened to be in Lyschka with a grenade. Sylvester Sloan leads up. So bad cop worst cop interrogation. They call it bad cop worst cop. They are up.

Uh oh, Jack, they fight, they kill James Hong and the other guy. They've already done that. Jack Pounds is the only one left. Uh oh, doors slides open. Of course, if this is an executive office, this is the president of the company. Of course, he's going to have a hall of mirrors right next to his desk, yeah, behind the sliding door. It's standard. You know, like you got to keep up appearances like every CEO has hall of mirrors right next to their company.

Here are the things you can expect standard in your office, a comfortable leather chair, a couch, everyone's afraid to sit on your own bathroom those pendulum balls pendulum ball desk toy your own bathroom shelves of fine crystal and Amaze in the desk in the bar top. They put your mind in and a mirror room. Yeah, yeah, all mirrors It's a real alike. I like. Yeah, I'm made a mirror maze So he has he's got Terry Hatcher in there with a gun to her head and they're wondering which one of those do I shoot? Well, luckily, while Jack Pound is just giving this endless mom, he rambles on to the point that tango cash start talking to each other and you just hear Jack Pound

talking in the background. You can't make out what he's saying. This is the final civil like we speech given by the main bad guy. Even the heroes are not interested listening to it. They quickly decide and then both of them shoot them in the head. Yeah, because they've instantly found it. How did you know? The monogram on his shirt was backwards.

What about what? But the ring was on the wrong hand. That's how they knew which one to shoot. And there's 20 seconds left on the bomb and during that time they somehow run downstairs, run outside, run far enough away from the building that they aren't injured by the blast when it's self-destructs. But mission accomplished, they looked, they were framed and there's a lot of evidence that proves that they proved their guilt.

Right, and the one thing that that just proves it is one tape that they got from the guy after he threatened him. But they did go to a place, they killed a bunch of people, and they blew up a building. Right. So of course, they slavery, they give a high five and immediately cuts them, giving a high five, front cover of the newspaper, heroes again, tango and cash back on the force. End of the movie. I mean, didn't they get arrested for breaking't they get like arrested for breaking out of jail?

Nope. I mean, what about killing all those people while they weren't active duty police officers? Nope, nope. None of that. None of that. They're probably bad guys. Yeah. Just property damage, murder, escaping from jail.

None of the original murder that they were found, that they pled guilty to. Right. None of those things matter anymore. Tangly cash. Yeah, they, that's not double jeopardy, right? Well, no, because it's two different crimes. That's why it's not double. Double jeopardy doesn't mean you can never be convicted of any crime ever again once you've been convicted, but they admitted their guilt. Well, they pled guilty. They didn't admit their guilt. So I'd like the summary of the plot doesn't

totally get across how amazing and stupid this movie is. Well, what about this quote? When the thing blows up, when stolen goes. Which thing a lot of things blow up. The compound of the end when it's and then stolen goes, there's a lot of new pollution in the air tonight and its name is Peret. Yeah. How about that? Did I get it across maybe? Pretty great. There's a lot. I'm trying to remember any of the Iberus when Kurt Russell first goes into the Cleopatra Club after paying his $5 admission pay. There's a shot that there's no reason not to cut that It shows him walk up to the exterior of the Cleopatra Club shows him walk in and they made it go say $5 cover Yeah, sure hands in $5 walks in. There's even like a not equipped. He doesn't push past the guy. There's no reason to show that. So he enters the Cleopatra Club just to see the end of an act where the dancer is riding a motor cycle off of this day.

There's like, oh, sorry to say. Just before Terry Atcher comes out and does some kind of sensual dance that features electronic drums. Yeah, where she takes a pair of drums takes in place kind of a rhythmically to the song and she strips off her jacket. Yeah, well I was gonna to the point of her stripping off her jacket. I was gonna ask is this the gayest action film? Yes, yes, yes. It is a love story between two men that includes a shower scene between both of them. And we do get to see both of their butts. Yeah, there's a lot of them being wet together.

It's constantly raining in the prison and everyone sweaty all the time. There's this sort of bondage scene where they're both like chained up next to each other. And they sort of like sacrifice each other themselves for each other. And like the main... and they sort of like sacrifice each other themselves for each other. And their electricity acting was not unlike some kind of erotic client acts. Yeah, and there's the part where Kurt Russell blows Sylvester Stallone. There is that. But also like the main like love interest, if you can call it that, is Terry Hatcher as to a Sylvester Splendz sister, who is like a dancer and like a club that I guess you're supposed to think is sort of like this sexy club

but It's dancing fully close, you know, it's that flash dance sort of thing which I don't really understand why this exists Well, others drinks are delicious. There are I will say there are a couple boobs in the in the movie But Celeste alone has no love interest. Yeah, Kurt Russell's love interest And drag and he dress up and drag and it is the most comfortable Kurt Russell looks the entire movie like you all you get the you get the feeling like when the movie is over Gabriel cash is gonna put on those those stockings again Where what you know like turning hatchers you, why do you still have these?

Oh, yeah, I've been meaning to throw those out. Oh, you know, memories, memories that time. Why don't I just do that for you? Like, no, no, I'll do it later. I'm gonna do another deep, deep cover thing. I mean, undercover? Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant. Yeah, it's down by the docks.

So that's pretty great. Down by there. Yeah, it's everything in the movie is also as big and stupid as possible Like Kurt Russell hit the first time we see him running around with a gun. It's a handgun But it's got this enormous laser sight on it It's like why the size of the rest of the gun and it is hilarious And then eventually they upgrade to uzi's because in the 80s everybody had news They upgrade to uzi's and then to these sort of super machine guns.

Yeah. That don't look like anything that I've seen before in a movie. We're in my time in the military. Oh, okay. They look like something that like time cops would have. Yeah, exactly. Time guns that turn you into babies when you shoot. It's a pretty good job.

It's a powerful weapon. Yeah. Yeah, this puts like a cap on a certain style of like a film. Like like the decade before, like this puts a cap on it in the same way that like bad boys too, then puts a cap on like the next decade or so of action film. The music in this movie is done by, wasn't the same guy who did this. Harold Fulton-Mirer, I think, is the guy's name. He's the guy who did Axel F for a... Beverly Hills Cop. And it sounds like someone was like, get us kind of an off brand, Beverly Hills Cop song, but through the whole movie.

Yeah. And it just caught fire. Everybody's humming that tango and gas tunes. Yeah, how does it go again? It's across over it. Did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it. No, wait, that's not it duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, you're like, wait, what? When a crit rustles best moments, he's walking into the police station and a guy with a pizza box, his passing mind goes,

hey, and grabs a slice of pizza. This is his own shot. Gabriel Tanish loves pizza. And he plays by his own rules. He plays by his own pizza rules. He doesn't care that pizza's for. There's the great moment early on where Ray Tango's boss is talking to him

and asks him why are you a police officer rich you dress like a banker why you a cop which bus the audience is probably thinking right the reason is because of the action of venture yeah not some kind of sense of civic duty which would have endeared into the audience it doesn't say like to keep the streets safe or like my parents were killed or something like that he goes goes, you're like a Batman. The action. The action. Like a Batman.

Yeah. One of the many Batman. Like a Batman might do. Yeah. But the, uh, or like, um, there's multiple more points where Jack Pounds is henchmen go, why don't we just kill them? And Jack Pounds was, no, no, we've got to do it this way. You don't understand killing them would only make them stronger. They're not all

the one can only. Now do you see why I don't kill them? And the henchmen are like, no, not really. We had them. We would never have to worry about them ever again. Then they would become martyrs to the police. No, they wouldn't. Then they'd be faced with an entire precinct full of tangos and caches, tangos and caches. Yeah. What's your hot dogs? Nobody's doing paperwork. That's delicious. What's your hot dog? Everybody stealing pizza. No pizza would be safe from the police station.

Oh man. When I was a kid, I didn't see this movie when it first came out because I was like eight years old. Like not a feeder or? I only, I saw it like probably around the time I was 11 or 12 like a couple of years after it came out. And I remember, but I do remember seeing like the commercials and for those couple of years knowing that like Tangled Cash was supposed to be like this tough action movie and in my head

I imagine it being like the roughest most brutal like grittiest Violent action movie like there was no more serious action movie than tango and cash the same way that like when the last Boy Scout came out I didn't see that for years and I assumed that was like this super tough like see that for years and I assumed that was like the super tough like really super gritty like when I was a kid I don't think I realized that there's some action movies that were incredibly stupid and over the top I thought that like like the movie over the top exactly yeah wait I'm not supposed to take the last Boy Scouts seriously I think you I think you are I mean there's a lot of oozee in it as I've already mentioned

Is it part of where we're with? We had a record for a while for most The guy says what was he like time? I was like I forget like what he's talking about because the kind that shred And he throws like bullets into the fireplace and it's like supposed to be like this code word for them But there's it doesn't mean anything like it only means something if he's talking about bullets that are going to explode in the fireplace in a second. Well, that's like, there's a part in this movie where they're up against Robert Zadar

and they're surrounded by bad guys. And especially someone's like, the Robert Zad was like, this guy broke my jaw, he broke my legs and Coral's like, you broke that guy's jaw and he goes, yeah, I did. Why? Because I was having a real bad day. And Kyrus goes, a bad day like this was, yeah, that's right.

And the two of them punch Robert Zadar together, perfectly timed. And it's like, this is not a bit that they knew. Like this is, they immediately, they're famous punching bed. They kind of, kind of, cop instincts, speaking in code, they made up a code and then acted on it. Cop, cop instincts plus fair mones. It's like, there's a lot of fair mones. Yeah, that's true. It's very sweaty.

It's one of my favorite stupid things in a movie or TV show is when the two heroes are surrounded by bad guys and the heroes go start fake arguing with each other. And one of them pushes the other into the bad guys. And that's how they wrestle the guns out of their hands because one because who's gonna fall for that like it's the stupidest ploy but it always works in TV in the movies yeah it's the sort of thing that will immediately get broken up by the person with the gun yeah okay bang you think is you got these two guys is

really eloquent the way you just with down Well, you got two actors like life's still own and Russell who were just chewing that scenery like of course You're gonna drop your guard because you're kind of in awe. Oh, I gotta say I mean It's so you just want to see the show so badly this movie did renew my you know like I'm a cart rustle fan Yeah, and just just reinforce that because there's some things really stupid stuff in this movie that damned Kurt Russell doesn't actually make it work on its intended level. And what's strange is that Patrick Swazie was originally supposed to play the Kurt Russell part and dropped out I think because it was such a dumb movie. Yeah. And Kurt Russell's way better than Patrick Swazie would have been. Yeah. I mean, the only thing they have in common is hair. Yeah, and they're both super buff. Yeah, they got hotbods. No hotbods. But Kurt Russell, but Kurt Russell

was able to bring the same comedy chops that he took from the computer war tennis shoes. And the same action shop chops from the thing and combine them into one hole. Sort of like a Superman. No, that's Christopher Reeve. All right. Or Dean Cain. Yeah, but not Brandon Routh and not Dean Cooons. No, and Dean Cooons or George Reeve. Well, but the man had a tragic life.

Come on, give it to him. I don't understand. Like give Superman to him. No, I say it was Superman. Okay. Yeah. And he said not him. No, no, he Superman? Yeah, I think they said not him. No, no, not hit this. He's no Forget it. All right. Yeah, Kurt. Kurt Russell definitely

puts more into the movie and actually manages to sell some the lines. Yeah, I mean doesn't sell them well, but I'll buy him Yeah, Stuart wants to buy I mean you want to store wanting it. Yeah, it doesn't to buy. I mean, he wants to store one. He doesn't need to be motivated. He doesn't need the hard sell. It's just like this is the kind of, every time we watch a flop house movie, I'm hoping it's gonna be this type of movie.

And then it turns out to be like 10,000 BC or White Out. And it's just so disappointing because I know there's another tango and cash out there. There's gotta be. We'll keep looking. Maybe in the next hundred episodes. We'll find the hope so. Oh, yeah moonlight.

Did you become Irish? Did you say that? Or a mouse? It's a mouse. Well, that was from Five Head Goes West, right? What? I just want to say one more thing. Tango and cash is beautiful in its stupidity.

Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say, I think we don't need, we can skip our judgments on this because I think we are all in agreement that this is the best movie ever made. Yeah, I mean, I feel like 12 rounds is close. It's about as close as someone gets, but it's still 12 rounds is still not as good as 12. Like, Tango and cash is so the thing that it is There's 12 rounds is not as not as seamlessly stupid. Yeah, it's stupid, but not as not as beautiful That's perfectly said Tang on cash does not have a brain in its head 12 rounds has like maybe like a like an 18th of a brain Yeah, but Tang on cash feels like to me is it feels like a movie made by children

And that's that's making up a story Make it up a story as they go along. They have no idea how life works and they're so excited about doing it There's so much joy that comes through in how dumb it is so There's a lot fewer of John Cena just pointing his gun at black people in this movie, which is a little Makes me uneasy. Yeah so black people in this movie, which is a little, makes me uneasy. Yeah. So before we get on to our mailbag. Our 100th mailbag. Oh, well, I, that's an accurate email bag.

Number 100. Like the first episode we didn't have mail back then. So you did, said, dear floppers, I haven't heard your podcast yet, because it doesn't exist yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. I'm sure it'll be great. And Dan will be the best.

Love Dan. I'm accurate. So before we get to that though, I just want to recognize a couple of donations from Daniel G and a very generous donation from Colin M. So thank you both for that. Yeah. Thank you very much. We appreciate your support. It's listeners like you that keep Flop House on the air.

And Wink, they expect their flop house tote bag. Well, I have to knit it first. So. Really a knitted tote bag? It'll be a few years. It was like a weird tote, but keep your eye on the, keep your eye on the mill. OK, on the mill?

Keep your eye on the mill. What in case they're making pepper or paper? Keep your eye on the mill, what in case they're making pepper or paper. Keep your eye on the mill on the floss. Anyway, this is a letter titled, honey, where's my super suit? From a friend of the flat house, Kurt Holman, he says that we can use all of his name. Okay. His first name is Friend of the Flap House. His first name is Friend, and then his middle name is of the Flap House Courts. Oh, I see. And his last name is friend of the flop house. His first name is friend and then his middle name is of the

flop house Kurt. Oh, I say, my last name is Holman. But a friend OTF K Holman. She says, dear Dan Stewart Elliott and house cat, congratulations in advance for your impending 100th episode. After 100 episodes, I think you're going to reward yourself with the likes of the great bikini offboard adventure or at least a good bad movie. Well, we did. Yeah, we did. What did he mean after a hundred episodes? So after this hundredth episode, we could reward ourselves. Yeah, we're all gonna watch the great bikini off-road adventure. Because I know you like watching alone. We could go to a couple episodes to be honest with you. I mean, I can watch it with you guys if you guys don't look at me while we're watching it. don't look at me while we're watching it. It ruins the illusion that I'm there with the bikini girls on the off-road adventure. Showed with Willie Talsalves, Shaman. Collecting those , collecting those lost bikini tops. I feel, there's a picture on the upper right-hand corner of you with a pipe.

Evening of Pints Nes and your examining them, Nipple. Only the best boobs. So he says, so I listened to the X-Men Origin Wolverine podcast the other day and decided to check YouTube to see if I could find a clip of Elliot talking about Adamantium on the Daily Show. And that had never I was unsuccessful, but I did find a video. Oh, you should go to the DailyShow.com. Yeah, that's the easiest way to find Daily Show videos. Uh, all of your favorites and much more,

DailyShow.com. Thanks for writing. Oh, wait, no, there's more in this email. No, what's that? I did find a video called Kalin Superman Videos number one Superman versus humanity's professor Oh, yeah, which featured Dan and the fame tights and cape as the man of steel getting a stern talking to you from Elliot as a Tweety professor That clip in turn direction me to two additional clips that put Elliot himself in the super suit

Now unless I miss something these Superman impersonations have never come up with an episode of the flop house Which puzzles me given how much you guys in Flop House Nation at large, loves nerdy subject matter like superheroes. I hope I'm not causing any awkwardness bringing up a youthful indiscretion, which you'd rather be kept on the down low. Dio. It also makes me wonder just what Elliot has against Superman is Elliot, a contributor to Marvel Comics taking a swipe at the central character of the Distinguished Competition, or have we finally seen how Elliot's long-roommered racism manifests itself through the ridicule of a Kryptonian American.

Whoa! On a lighter note, I enjoyed Elliot's take on my favorite bad movies, Zardos, on the Conan episode, and it occurred to me that you guys could frame one of your ill-defined flafas contests, right? Simply challenge your audience to re-edit a trailer of Zardos replacing the original audio with the LA to Sean Connery remarks it could be a way to appeal the bad movie in county fans who aren't listening to the floppos already are there any uh... yeah i think it's a great idea i'd be up for anybody doing that i think

that's a really good idea i mean uh... i don't know i mean like our contests are so poorly run that i don't i hesitate to make it one of those but we could do it another contest winner chooses the movie. Yeah, yeah, sure. I would love to see that. Ali, do you want to address the matter of the Superman? Sure, those Superman videos, they were actually four of them, but one of them was taken down because it,

because it infringed on Warner's music copyright. That was the one Superman versus man and Superman in which Superman goes back in time to kill George Bernard Shaw and Superman was played by Brock Mayhann in that one. I used to host a in a stage comedy show called the Primetime Caelin, which of course was came after the new Caelin show, which came after the Midnight Caelin. Yeah. And Dan. All capitalizing on the fame of the Caelin name. You know, the Caelen brand name really packed them in for those midnight shows. Dan was a contributor to the Primetime Kalen. And when Superman Returns came out, we decided to do a Superman themed show.

And we shot four videos using the same Superman costume, which strangely enough fit me, Dan, and Duffin Brock pretty well, all three of us. You know, we have also completely different body types that we've got. And each of those, the four of them were Superman versus humanity's professor, Superman versus man and Superman. Superman versus Metropolis, which was a, which is a trial and which Superman is being brought up against

public urination charges. And we're kind of at the other one was. There's the communist one. Oh, that's right. Super-an versus the Russian Superman in a drinking contest to decide who will get Cuba. That's right. Did different people shoot or produce them?

Like, I feel like there was like... Well, each one was written by a different person. Yeah, and I remember that. And they were shot by different people too. Yeah. So I wrote the humanities one. Like, there's a while difference in the production quality across across the different. Yeah. And the, and the Superman Communist

Superman was not shot by anybody. That was literally a camera on a tripod. And there are only two actors in it. Me and Eric Marcezak. And we took turns holding the camera when we weren't on screen. And when we were both on screen, we just had the camera on a tripod. And we shot, I think that's like movie magic here. It's like a five minute video that probably took about an hour altogether to put together but it came out pretty well but like we very quickly drank a lot of water to simulate vodka and got very loggy both of us and then I had to rush home and edit it so that was a very quick turnaround that one. But it was for this Superman theme show and those those shows, of course, have kind of disappeared from anywhere.

But the YouTube videos remain as a vestigial tale. Exactly. Much like if you look up, there are a series of three videos called Ghost Hunters that star me, Dan, and Eric Marseysac. It's the stupidest video you can imagine. In which we hunt for ghosts. So look up ghost hunters. Yeah, if you want to. Grants tomb. If you want to read in our comedy, Jersey Devil.

Fred. There's some good jokes of those. There's some good jokes of those. They're a younger version of us. And there's another totally unrelated video that may be on YouTube. I'm not sure it's called the death of R2D2 that is worth finding also. R2D2 comes down with Robo Cancer.

Robo Cancer. Okay. And we decided to show him the best weekend of his life. So nerd stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you have to say about that, Stuart? Wait, wait, what? We're talking about nerd stuff or Superman.

I don't know. I just want to bring you in. Oh yeah. Well, you know, I was always, I was an occasional audience member and fan of you guys is really stuff. But I kind of like what you're doing now. All right. Week. Well, this one is called further injustices adjusted. It's from someone, it's from someone called the Registinator

Okay, as long as it's not another fucking sports team from your fucking brother Hey guys, hey guys, this is not Elliot's brother But you said something about the Yankees that I need to correct the other day. I was listening to you're at latest cast It's a regular part of my routine here in China did cast have an apostrophe in front of it. Well, he's he's Did cast have an apostrophe in front of it? Well, he's he's I'm assuming China. So give the guy a break. I mean, I maybe he's a maybe he's a American in China Sure, but but Which is soon. It's not a native of a language and you would say break on the apostrophe You have to say let's assume it's not a native American. Yeah It's a regular part of my routine here in China and a soothing alternative to

The grading swinging tones of my language learning cast. I guess he is American. Yes. Wow, that was kind of racist, what do you just say about that? It would be a bit of a stretch to say that it has helped me through some tough times, but it has certainly diverted. Anyway, I was brought up short when some pedantic listener drew it. Look, don't feel like you've done me too many favors.

You're all right. You're not a ten. I was brought up short when some pedantic listener drew attention to Dan's secret public shame. That is to say, his charming Northwestern U.S. accent by some quirk of file arranging. The next podcast on the list was flop house number 12 awake probably Elliott's first as an official flopper and also the first time Dan was publicly ridiculed for a vocal deformity so many of your countrymen bear in silence and speech by vocal deformity does he mean

the similes twin inside your throat yep yeah yeah Elliott that comes out at night and merrs, people. Elliot, perhaps smarting from a Hodgmanian ribbing of his own, delightfully expanded on Dan's disability for some time. Is it pinhead or pinhead, cackled caillin, low-in or low-hand, you ill-bred Idaho-in? I don't remember saying that. My point is, give the poor Slava break.

He's served his debt to Anglophone Society. You point is give the poor slot a break. He serves his debt to Anglephone Society, your pound of the readjustinator. And, Dan, you're getting better at disguising the emails you send yourself, fella. You're right. Dan, I shouldn't make fun of the way you say things. Starting now, I will only make fun of other things about you. All right. Fair enough. There are some rich veins.

I have plenty of personality flaws without getting into stuff that I can't really control. You're smiling while I was just like a fucking thing. You kind of got a trick. He's got a smile on his face that makes me think he's going to press a button. We're going to fall down to trap doors. I just like you guys. What 100 episodes? Yeah, we talked about the L-ray.

He's gone pod mad. This one is titled correction. Well, okay. Is this a Jonathan Franz in email? The directions. It appears to be from the last name. It's like a book. I get it. Open a book club. I was thoroughly enjoying your 88th episode on the movie Priests with Paul Bettany and I felt the irresistible need to be an inseparable note all Please point to Elliott as it if he is in the room. This guy knows what I'm talking about Good crowd work. That's good. Good pointing Dan. My correction is to note that the law of gravitation was not violated or ignored when Paul Bettany's character jumps off the rocks in midair Newton's third law of motion

this this the sense doesn't make any sense. Wow wow he proved you wrong about something and you thought to make him feel bad. He says uh it wasn't oh wait no I got it. The law of gravity. Okay I have a new thing to make fun of you about. Right if you shut up I could uh just you're too dumb to read a letter. It's an interesting use of syntax. My correction is to note that law of gravitation was not valid or ignored when Paul Benton's character jumps off the rocks and made it air. Newton's third law of motion was, period. It is technically possible, though incredibly improbable,

for the priest to perform this feat, though the rock should have shot downwards away from his foot and probably deep into the ground or been pulverized or both, Brian last name with help. So, there you go. So we should give this movie another look, see, huh? Yeah, it's great. I didn't see that one.

It's probably a good, good movie now. Yeah, usually that's the way it works. If we fuck up, it turns out the movie was great. It goes good, good, good movie. Unfortunately, they get an automatic, good, good, yeah, because it's our mistake. We need to put that on the DVD cover. Yeah.

Good, good movie. The flop house. So thank you. I'm going to improve video rentals from whatever video chain. Well Paul Bettany was very angry at us when I understand. He seems like a pretty chill guy except for all the, he takes a lot of action movie roles. Yeah well that's how he gets out of his aggression. Okay. So this last email is from John last day. The last email of our hundredth episode. Hell it's gently placing his hand on my hand as if to console me.

Yeah, it's okay, Dan. They're there. No, I'm understand. They're there. Stuart touches other hand. Okay, that's okay. Now it's on the time. Now both of them are there. They're there. Say they're there. They're there.

This does actually make me feel better. They're there. Okay, now take your hand away. Okay. Now put it back on there again. OK, now take your hand away. Now put it back on there again. OK, now take your hand away again. And now just me. And now just you.

OK, now rub your hand against his hand. Just the back. What are we doing? Rub the back of your hand against the back of his hand. It's starting to feel a little weird. So this last email is from John Liss, name withheld. And it's a short email.

It says, I hear by Commission Elliott to write a prequel to in time featuring seven pounds that posits a world where time is wait. Okay interesting I like this idea I mean a commission implies I'm gonna get paid for this but there are no financial details so I can't help you there. I guess we'll have to work those out but I like the idea that seven pounds caused in time to take place. Probably some, he probably broke the time.

We're still talking about the villain character we invented and not the movie seven pounds. Oh wait, is it the movie? I assume we're talking about the villain seven pounds. Yeah, who commits seven pounds related crimes. Okay, just, just clarifying for listeners who have heard. Oh right. For anyone who was not, he didn't lose the seven pounds. For anyone who just joined us because of the longevity role that they had

employed. That's part of the beginning of the podcast. Seven pounds is a Batman villain who commits seven pounds related crimes. It's pretty much. What does he sound like, Stewart? I don't, I'm not the one doing the voice. Dan, what does he sound like? Seven pounds. Yeah, kind not the one doing the voice. Dan, what does he sound like? Seven pounds. Yeah, kind of crypt-ieber-y. Yeah, basically the crypt-ieber. Like you might steal a seven pound diamond

or you might just steal like seven pounds from like an English guy back when they weren't on the Euro. Yeah, seven Paula Poundstones. Seven Ezra Pound books. Well, if it like a seven pound baby, he'd get an app, it was like the air to the seven pounds fortune. Yes. He would take the pound key off seven phones.

And I think Batman would probably know who was the culprit. Who someone stole 28 quarter pounders. Who could it be, of course? You know, you might drop a seven pound like a sandbag on Batman in the back of the theater? Yeah, I mean that might probably won't hurt it It depends on how like high that it's being dropped from Okay, like from the top of the Gotham State Building Some state building. Yeah back stage

building your own. Yeah. Got some state building. Yeah. Backstage. So, yeah, I'll get to work at it. I'll see what you guys typing in there. I mean, I do have a I do have a paying day job, but I will quit it so I could do this. So guys, now we're to the last segment of our regular show and the hundredth episode recommendations a movie that you saw perhaps the recommendation. I know I'm telling you like well 300th recommendation because three of us except for often we recommend multiple things. Sometimes we don't do recommendations because the show's running out. God man we are not running a tight ship at all. No way we don't edit it that's you. Yeah, high fives to art, making Dan do extra work.

So if anyone has a recommendation, they want to jump in with. Elliott's all ready for it. Well, I'll recommend a movie. The movie I want to recommend is an English, I guess it's not an English action movie so much as it's an American action movie that was directed by an Englishman and starred at a lot of English people. From from the 1960s a movie called Dark of the Sun, which stars Rod Taylor and Jim Brown as two mercenaries who have to go into an African nation that's currently experiencing a Civil War gorilla uprising to save the staff and diamonds of a diamond company and so they need to get through

basically a brutal civil war Get a bunch of people onto a train and a satchel full of diamonds and take it back and it is for the most part non-stop action and especially for a movie from the mid 60s It is super violent and the body count in it is what you'd expect from an 80s movie just like they shoot tons and tons of people there's a scene where rod Taylor fights a German wielding a chainsaw there's a lot of crazy stuff in it and it's a good action suspense movie that's surprisingly brutal for the time it was made so I recommend that dark of the sun uh I'd like to just uh what I'll recommend just came to me last night I hosted a

bad movie screening which I do for a time to time. I don't recommend that. I don't just he's recommending going to Dan's apartment and making him show bad movie. It was a pretty great experience but I just wanted to I don't just talk talk when it comes to bad movies I walk the walk. I enjoy screening them for not- Yeah, we get it. I'm floppin' out of the trees. Okay, you go in. And I screen the movie.

What Dan's saying is it's a sickness. Birdemic shock and terror, which is a movie that has gotten a lot of cult attention as a bad movie. I feel like it's the next, the room sort of, or, and just as the room was the next troll to what was all to the next of plan nine what was plan nine the next I think that irony had been invented yeah maybe people only enjoyed things for their marriage yeah but but Bertamik is a pretty amazing movie. It's a movie about... Hey, you ever seen a movie The Birds? Yeah, it's Birdic. Except for...

Except for there's 40 minutes of driving around and a guy like making a million dollar deal at his nondescript tech company and talking about that. And he gets solar cells put on his house. And he goes on dates with a girl that he just met in front of various green screens. And then with no foreshadowing at all, all of a sudden a bunch of birds show up and start die bombing things and after effects explosions start appearing on things. And out of these real birds? No, these are looped animations of birds that are just sort of hovering in there. They're flapping their wings, but the, you know, like the only bird they can actually hover in the air is the hummingbird.

And these are not hummingbirds. These are like big hawks. I want to follow just over here. Yeah, Mr. Birds over here. Flowing man of Dancatraz. And this movie has a weird sort of green message. It is a pro-environmental message. It's a sort of green message, it is a pro-environmental message. It's a sort of thing, you're not helping the cause

by making bird-demick and putting that on. Let me ask you this, the female star of the movie. Do you see her underpants? You do see her underpants. Okay. And a sort of a thong panty, and she is certainly very attractive. She's one of the few people in the movie that I felt like could possibly be a

passable actress too if she was in a better mood. Sure. If she's going to be in her panties. Underpants. I'd like to point out in her panties. Mr. Elliott asked a leading question that brought us to the panties. It wasn't me bringing up panties. I knew you wanted to talk about it. So, John, another bit over here. I'm camping. So, champion of the bit. I'm going to

recommend a movie I saw recently. It was actually an Academy Award nominee a few years ago and that's Winner's Bone. A Winter's Bone. Winter'sbone with what's her name Jennifer Lawrence Lawrence a So John Hawks and John Hawks who's great And if you want to see a movie with tons of chicks wearing like hunting jackets and Sweaters with animals and shit on so this is the movie for you Is that the IMDv keyword you put in for it? Chick-swearing hunting jackets. Uh, yes, have you really don't

enjoy a chick? Check out what? They're just not making enough movies for me. A guy who likes chicks and honey jackets. I know what I'm thinking about. Does it have a plot? Uh, yeah, it's about a woman stuck in a man's world. And, uh, I mean, I guess I, I mean, I so like nine to five could be described that way

Alien three could be described that way There's some there's some jokes There's a fair amount of tension Did you watch this movie? Did you watch it in mute? I have one fast forward to it, so I opened the season. A chicken fan. No, it's about a young girl who...

It's about a young girl who has to raise her younger brother and sister. And at the same time, find her father because her father needs to, what is it, is up for bail? Or he's jumped his bail? He jumped bail and as collateral for the bail he put their house so she's to find out she has to track it down and they find a way to take a I guess a modern setting and still make it feel almost like a western of this young woman having to track her father down through these increasingly creepy parts of their town and to do a noir story that's not set in a city but in a rural location. Yeah so it's pretty great. It's really good recommendation. There's a

lot of chicks and hunting jackets. And we'll have some sweaters. Yeah one of them sweaters and sandals on them. One of them skins a squirrel at one point. Don't give away all the good stuff. Yeah save some for the ticket buyers. So you guys 100 episodes. 100 laughs. 100 episodes, 100 laughs. A5 flop pass. So, uh, so, uh, one of the white 200 more, right? One of the next 100 having store. Well, something tells me we're going to be watching Warma Duke eventually. Sure, for a baseball. Well, something tells me we're going to be watching Warma Duke eventually. If Vucky Larsen, and Vucky Larsen, and maybe Smurf's three, if our fans have anything to say about it.

All right. Well, until we watch all those movies, I suppose I should sign off and say that for the fly pass, I've been Dan McCoy. I've been Stewart Wellington. And I am still Ellie. Kalen. Goodbye. I think it's pretty amazing that we haven't had to watch a single one of the

Alvin and the chipmunks, but had nobody makes us do this And It was really tender. I cooked it for like seven hours it's just like it's your mouth, milk, it's so juicy yeah it's actually a brisket that sculpted out of ice you
