And before we start, a reminder for New York area fans, come see our screening of Quiet Cool with live commentary this coming Friday, June 8th, at 92 Y Tribeca. More details on the website www.flophousepodcast.com Hey everyone and welcome to the flop house. I'm Dan McCoy. I'm Stuart Wellington. And who's this over here with you guys? It's Ellie Kaelin. Knock knock who's there? They got a guy in the fight itself. How did you know? You win a wire? Ellie with two T's right? Yeah, you better believe it. Okay, if what happens if I do one T?
Starting point is 00:01:08 The other T is your tombstone. Just cross over it. You like it better on your G's on either? Yes. Okay, Diane, what are you doing here? The man with the pizza-shaped T. Let me reset as they say in the radio business. Why are we starting over?
Starting point is 00:01:22 This is a show. I don't understand. A show that you listen to through your ear holes. So what are we doing on this show, Dan? So wait, people aren't watching us right now. No, so take a look at me. So they're like a hundred of these videos. When you're going to watch them. In your case, put your pants back on. All of the hilarious visual gags you're doing right now are lost to the sands of time. Oh, good one. I'll take off these wacky glasses. Mm-hmm. Like those
Starting point is 00:01:46 This is a show where we watch a movie Probably a bad movie. I'll discuss it Spoilers and what's the name of this show? It's called the flop house podcast it's a pun on the idea of a flop and also the concept of a flop house, which is where Cablo's in shit would go hang well, I mean like Drunks And also shit, so house for shit hangs out It's more like it's the old the old version of a crack house
Starting point is 00:02:15 So well, that's not entirely accurate I mean, illegal right history My house is more like a halfway house. Oh for for crack at it. Yeah, no For old time you crack out it. You're going the other direction. You're right. Spell with a QUE at the end Yeah, and then the E at the end. Yeah By the way apologies if there's any ambient noise. It's it's we're all on ambient right now Summer has come upon New York City very quickly. It's a hot time, summer in the city, in the back of my neck. It's not gritty, I'd say, but.
Starting point is 00:02:48 That's no, that'd be weird. I think that's great. But the windows are wide open, it's raining. I have not put the air conditioner in. Just to set the stage, little ambience. And also ambience. I'm walking in the snow. And there's a crackling fire.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Crinkle, crinkle, crinkle. Oh, yeah, I'm waiting overinkle, crinkle, crinkle. Oh, wait over there guys. And the wolf. There's a, there's a, there's a, a flop house cat over there, right? Get it? Ra-ow! That's hilarious, right?
Starting point is 00:03:12 House cat doing some fire on the wood. Yeah. I can be sound effects. It's a house cat. I mean, specifically, it's in the name. Yeah, it's not a wild cat. Well, that is the house cat though, is a wild cat. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:03:23 So, moving on. We all, we all just did some sound effects guys. So we warmed up. Yeah, high five. That's free. Now you got to pay for it. Actually, to get that, you may, did you heard the sound effect of Stuart and Dan high-fiving? It's actually the sound of a man punching a side of beef.
Starting point is 00:03:38 That's how they make that sound on the video. That's some flop house, Foley Magic. Yep, Dave Foley Magic. He's everyone in the corner drinking sadly to himself. And doing close up magic drinks. I didn't know that was something that Dave Foley was known for. All you need is a packet card and one coin, entertain for hours. OK.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Well, we watched the movie tonight. What's amazing is he can entertain himself because he's so drunk he forgets the tricks. He doesn't know how they're done, even as his name. A man who was a great comedy hero of mine. Mine too. That's been destroyed now. Yeah well I know it's destroyed. We should watch it. We shouldn't laugh. Was it like their gaslighting or something or yeah yeah someone wanted to steal his jewels. Kevin MacDonald. Yeah we only said Kevin MacDonald wanted to steal David O'Lease jewels. So we watched a movie tonight. It was called One for the Money with Catherine Heigel. I've never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:04:29 It's rated R. What's it rated R? I don't think so. It's a movie phone guy. Probably not. PG-13, there was a scene where Catherine Heigel clutches her arm in front of her naked breasts. You saw her naked side.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Side boob, but I could bet. Side butt and boob. Okay. So mark that down, Mr. Skin, if you're listening at home. Mr. Reginald Skin. You better believe that Mr. Mr. Reginald Skin, Bought one for the money on Blue Ray.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Dr. Skin. Please, that's Dr. Skin. I didn't go to a skin school for six years to be called Mr. Skin. Is it degree in skin? You don't think Mr. Skin got a scrimmer for this? I'm sure he did. At this point because he's the Academy's creator.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Yeah, Academy's creator. By the way, do you know that the reason that Mr. Skin can operate is that technically he's a review site? That's why he can put up all that material, that copyrighted material, is because he's nominally a review site. So he can review quote-unquote review the movie while showing clips from the revealing nudity.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Yeah. Yeah, but that's why the she's not in trouble with copyright. Why the found in the list. There's a home listeners at home. Elliott and I have completely non-shocked expressions that are there. No way. I think that's an interesting fact.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I think that's an interesting way to start to our right. Well, it's related in that that's probably the same reason I can put posters up on a flop house site without getting because we're normally review site Yeah, actually a boob site We're just people just it's more of a sound effects On the more We're on a night like this It's misty on the mors tonight. Tintin' tintin' tintin'
Starting point is 00:06:05 We're on a night like this on the docks on the mors. That's not even a sound effect.

We hope you did. We hope you did. We hope you did. We hope you did. We hope you did. We hope you did David right in. David Jalen. Right in. Debbie Reynolds. Now this Debbie Reynolds, oh how can I forget, the biggest story in the movie is this. This movie is, this movie is based on the first of the Stephanie Pond. The guy who played Jimmy Barrett on Mad Men,
Starting point is 00:06:55 is something. Based on the first of the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Ivanovich, this series is a particular favorite of my mother or was for a while. There's 23 of them now Yeah, and I think my mom got tired around 16 or 18 Yeah, well that reminds me of like the sous-grafton mysteries where she set out you know like the alphabet
Starting point is 00:07:16 Mystery novels and it's like okay, well, there's gonna be 26 of these I Am going to check out around in maybe sure. Yeah, when she got lazy after a while, I think V was for the letter V. Hahaha. W is X was for Xylophone, which is weird. W is for whatever, something mystery related by Sugaraptin. Hahaha. Yes, you make up the rest.
Starting point is 00:07:39 But this is a series about Stephanie Plum, who is a young woman down on her luck. She doesn't have a job. She's in danger of losing her plums. I don't understand how she can be so down on her luck, when she owns the patent to plums. That's the weird thing. Moving along. Ladies and gentlemen, if you look to your right,
Starting point is 00:07:55 you'll see a stupid joke moving along. So, wait, our character is Stephanie Plum. Is that, we learn that she is divorced. She's divorced. Is that last name from their plum? Is that last name her, is that her original last name or is that, if we didn't need you to do the tech, Dan? Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Is that last name from her ex-husband? I don't remember. I'm only wondering because she has this large, very boisterous, very loud vocal. You're saying Italian. Italian family, yes. It's New Jersey. And the blue one doesn't sound unless...
Starting point is 00:08:28 Maybe it was Plummelino before they came to Ellis Island. Or as it was known before it came to Ellis Island, Ellis Island, Delini. Okay. They changed the name of Ellis Island and Ellis Island. Okay, so wait, we're just gonna come up with variations of the name Plum on how to Italian and place it up.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Plummer E.D. Okay. Plummer E.D.C. I like that one. I don't know. I don it up. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. Flamery Yiti. This is one of those series where the title is just in big letters on the cover. So just as Janet of Onovich won for the money, there's no illustration. Now I'm sure on the book, there's probably a bit of a guy.
Starting point is 00:09:07 The Janet of Onovich is a selling point in that scenario. Yes. Just like James Patterson. And also numbers. James Lee holding a pair of handcuffs. Handcuffs over her butt, like in the poster. She's gonna handcuff her butt, I guess. It seems like a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Two cuffs, two butt cheeks. That works out, that's maths too. Okay, let's go. Let's move on, move on. So she's a down-to-down-er-look woman. She's divorced. I want to plot material, do you want to hear that? She's out of work.
Starting point is 00:09:36 She's about to lose her apartment and her car gets towed. She's got this boisterous family that's trying to set her up with a shlubby guy who's not a bad guy. And she's got a crazy wacky grandma played by Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds who may remember from the best Hollywood musical ever singing in the rain.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I mean she hams it up a little bit. She hams it up a lot. This is a movie where, and I think the director was frightened to tell her to tone it out. Well, yeah, she had a loaded gun in one scene. She was waving around. There is one dinner scene where Debbie Reynolds character
Starting point is 00:10:02 is just waving a loaded gun around that she's found in Carathorne Highgo's bag. People seem very unconcerned. They're like, put it down, Ma. Come on, Ma, I'll put it down, but they're not frightened as they should be because she shoots a turkey and meat goes everywhere, which leads to the one good line in the home movie, which is... Just for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I guess there's more than one. There's a couple good lines, but the best line, which is the guy they're trying to set up with, turkey flies everywhere all over him, and he's wiping his glasses off and he goes, it's like fireworks made of meat. Great line. There you go. But anyway, my name is Mike. So you guys probably, we should probably pause for a minute for our listeners to totally crack up, because that was hilarious. Yeah, anyway. So their sides back together, they have split. They're going to want to place their knees after they slap them so much. Adjust their wigs because they've just been flipped off.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Oh, wait, no, that's a prize. Yeah, that's. And gather up their socks because they have been knocked off. And so she decides she's going to go into business with her cousin Vinny, who is a bail bondsman and the one my cousin Vinnie is actually said one Yeah, but it's not the moon like it's not Joe pesci from my cousin Vinnie. It's actually cool down who plays it's a guy plays Jimmy Bear on madman over and he was in loss I think irritating comedian Jimmy bear it from madman You may remember him as the Utsnuts guy whose wife Bobby
Starting point is 00:11:23 Don Draper attacked the vagina over his hands in a restaurant attack the vagina yeah like the vagina is coming to a well it's a threat in her he liked grabbed her vagina really hard alright you remember that episode uh... but she was i mean they were in a
Starting point is 00:11:37 a carnal relationship to the two yeah but he did it it wasn't out of lust that was to i know it's a it sounds like he's like got some nunchucks or something and he's just whacking at it. Like, go on, Dan. Oh, keep talking about that. No, no, no, no, no. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:53 No, no, no, no, no. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, let's turn down by the nunchucks part of this equation. Now, I'm Michelangelo, the Ninja Turtle. No, I don't. I'm not writing a erotic fanfic for you. You should write erotic Ninja Turtle Mad Men crossover
Starting point is 00:12:06 for the big between Bobby Barrett and Michael Angelo. Finally found my niche. So she decides to become a bounty hunter for a cousin of the bail bondsman. Okay. This is taken by everyone. Everyone is like- Takes first 10 minutes when we-
Starting point is 00:12:21 The first time it's the movie, but also like she just eases into this job of bounty hunter. And when she tells people they're like, a bounty hunter in the same way as if I told people, like, I'm gonna try to become a model. People would be like, a model. Like they'd be kind of, they'd be surprised. Maybe you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:36 I'd be down with it. I think you could do it. But if I told people I'm gonna be a bounty hunter, they'd be like, what are you talking about? You're gonna be killed. You don't have a ponytail. You need a karate chop, aren't strong enough. You know, it's sassy. You don't have a ponytail. Your name's... Your name's Karate Chop, aren't strong enough.
Starting point is 00:12:46 You know, it's sassy. You don't wear a cleavage-banked tops. You got a dog. I have the name dog. Sure. No, it's right. She basically walks into the, the what the bail bondsman office and says,
Starting point is 00:12:59 Oh, I'm here for a filing job and they're like, Oh, yeah, that doesn't exist anymore. And she's like, Uh, you have another job and they're like, Oh, yeah, doesn't exist anymore. And she's like, uh, you have another job and they're like, oh yeah, be a bounty hunter. And she's like, okay. And that's it. Case closed. It's only then, but it went on for another hour and roughly 15 minutes.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Yeah. She gets as her case, this guy was named Barrelli. Morelli. Morelli, officer Morelli, a cop who's been accused of murder and is on the run. Also the man she lost her virginity too when she was 17 and then he didn't call her back so she rammed him into the leg with her car and broke it.
Starting point is 00:13:35 But that's all water, unter de Bruca, as the Germans would say. That's correct, by the way. Thank you. Where was I? I was so busy figuring out. You were saying that this would be a difficult first case for a first time bounty hunter.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah, especially since every other bounty hunter seems to be on this case, because it's so difficult. Yet she finds him. Yeah, this is a midnight run style case where the high profile, big reward case, a lot of things. I mean, I'd have been out for this. If it was like a whole bunch of wacky bounty hunters all trying to catch this guy like smoking aces No, but like wack here like Empire Strikes Back. Yes
Starting point is 00:14:11 Look, it doesn't get any wack here than a robot a lizard man a bug robot and another robot And a guy where I need 30 ace bandages all over his body. Yeah, look, I'm like a space mommy. Wait, just... That's what he's saying. Dang car, the space mommy. Oh man, if the space mom's on your trail. And a boba fat, did he say boba fat?
Starting point is 00:14:38 I didn't say boba fat. He's too cool to make fun of. You don't want boba fat coming after you? Nope. No, because then you'll say bubble fat. Well, but fat wear And you'll hit him with a pole and not gonna do it into a giant round mouth So big a little sandwich on her, but she manages to find I was gonna go tooth a-ness The picture of a giant like like if I was if you like a
Starting point is 00:15:02 I'm gonna talk about the surly Like if you like a a So we're gonna talk about the surly I just like a Just got to your mind Tooth anus sounds like the name of like a punk in like an 80s teen comedy And there's a drummer tooth anus Yeah, but he turns out to be an okay guy
Starting point is 00:15:17 Oh yeah Like everyone's just scared him for no reason Yeah, but it turns out at the end he's the guy who Helps his dad's like the chief of police or something and he helps him get out of a jam Yeah, not a bad guy tooth anus out of the end he's the guy who helps his dad's like the chief of police or something and he helps him get out of a jam. Yeah. Not a bad guy, too thinnest. Uh, for the desk of T anus. So anyway, Stephanie Plum manages to find Morelli very easily for the guy that all the
Starting point is 00:15:37 bounty hunters are after, but she loses, she loses them again. And so the rest of the movie, while she is looking for other bounties to get easy cash along the way, she is going out other bounties to get easy cash along the way She is going like two right Yeah, one is a naked man who lives in her building. Yeah naked elderly man who had given her newspapers for her hamster cage before so It feels kind of like a betrayal of trust for her to take him into the police Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's any different than her chasing down the guy who gave her the gift of losing her virginity though I don't think it's any different than her chasing down the guy who gave her the gift of losing her virginity though
Starting point is 00:16:14 That's what you think of all of the all the women you've dispoiled in your time stewards That's one gift you can return. Yeah, that's true And I could have you I don't know about you guys. I could have used a really great montage of her just like catching crooks Yeah, but like sassy like hitting one with a baguette, choking one with a, choking one with a submarine sandwich. Like France to catch the trip. Literally no. In the thrones, these are all like bread-based, tripping a guy with a little over bread.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I think you think this movie was called Bread for the Money. It was not, it was called One for the Money. I don't know why she's some kind of bread based superhero. I don't know, I think it works though. The superhero in baguette. Nice. She takes down that and like a hillbilly type. And along with the helltweaker, she's kind of taught the ropes of being a bounty hunter
Starting point is 00:17:02 by handsome, hunky bounty hunter ranger Who she said was like the Michelangelo Mack Michelangelo's David Diffton chocolate or something caramel. Yeah, and packing heat And he's basically he's there to set up a love triangle We won't they because there's also Morelli and the home movie is basically them running around Yeah, we won't they because there's also Morelli and the home movie is basically them running around Catherine Hygol is trying to catch Morelli, but then ends up getting caught up in trying to catch the man It looks like may have actually committed the murder. Yeah, she has a little sympathy for them because there's still traction there and she He's got amazing blue eyes. Yeah, and he looks like a guy in Quinn I'm not the super cut like I said he's got abs like a Ninja Turtle
Starting point is 00:17:44 And yeah, and she doesn't want cut. Like I said, he's got abs like a Ninja Turtle. And she doesn't 100% believe that he's guilty. She's just maybe like a... I mean, she doesn't wanna believe it. Yeah. Yeah, those eyes. How could they be guilty? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Uh, so... It might be guilty, but his body is it? That's the thing. If there is only a way where you could take his brain out of his body and just use his body for some kind of crazy carnival thing. Oh, but there is Stewart. Follow me into the lab.
Starting point is 00:18:05 The man with no brains. Dr. Sexton's dying over here. It's a fun conversation. I hope so. So, but a long way, Catherine Hegel starts racking up a pretty big body count. She leads to a lovable pot head getting thrown to his death, who's in, there are a couple of likable characters were in one scene and then get killed.
Starting point is 00:18:29 But why not? There were a bunch of characters who were, like, who just happened to be witnesses to the crime that were really committed, I guess. That really was accused of committing. Yeah, and it seems like there's a lot of people there. Yeah, for an abandoned building, or wherever it was.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Sure. There were like 15 people in that room. Yeah. But so. People start dying. Sherry Shepherd is a prostitute, part of a prostitute duo, who she goes to for information,
Starting point is 00:18:59 Sherry Shepherd gets totally beaten up, has to go to the hospital. Fisher Stevens appears for one scene and then gets blown up in a car bomb. Yeah, so real cock-deez when it comes to Fisher Stevens. We saw his name in the credits and we were like, yes, Fisher Stevens doesn't appear to like the last third of the movie and then gets blowed up almost instantly. Spoiler alert. We've spent about 10 minutes trying to come up with scenarios that he might have survived
Starting point is 00:19:21 the explosion. Yeah. So for all you fish heads out there, don't even bother watching this movie. Yeah. For Mr. Skin, Fisher Stevens edition. Who is that for when Fisher Stevens is naked in a movie? Yeah. Turtling, it's called.
Starting point is 00:19:37 It's amazing. And finally, we find out who did the whole thing after another couple of people get killed. It should I reveal who it was. find out who did the whole thing after another couple people get killed at should I reveal who it was it turns out to be boxing gym owner John Leguizamo the pest yes the pest the violator himself in league with a mixed martial arts fighter named Ramirez and in the end Catherine Heigel is at gunpoint, she's being held at gunpoint, her and Morelli in a meat truck in the middle of a swamp or something. And John Lake, Wasamo is holding them off.
Starting point is 00:20:15 And then like what does Morelli pretend to be sick? And John Lake, Wasamo is like, No, No, Morelli is handcuffed to something. Yeah. And then Catherine Heigel pretends to be sick, I guess. So John Lake was almost like, okay, she's sick. I won't point my gun at her anymore. That's probably what's making me say. What's wrong, honey? And she pushes him over and then shoots him in the chest like four times. Case closed. For real. And Marelle, I guess, and they
Starting point is 00:20:42 clear Marelle's name. I mean mean she was wearing a wire, right? It's not a lethal weapon too sort of thing. I don't know what she was wearing the wire. She handed it over at the end to her, like her friend that as we were saying, was like a cross between Steve and Jimmy and Willarnette. She's like, oh, you know, like he's innocent by the way. Oh, this is cool.
Starting point is 00:20:59 She's friends with one of the policemen in Trenton, who yeah, she turns in the love interest for the bounty, but then it was like, oh, by the policemen in Trenton. Yeah. Who, uh, yeah. She turns in the love interest for the bounty, but then it's like, oh, by the way, he's innocent, but keep him jail for it, but. Yeah, because he's mad at me. And so she's got the job. Sherry Shepherd gets a job at the office. She got to shoot a guy.
Starting point is 00:21:17 No, there's nothing on her. And to kill a guy. Well, because it's justified. She has to fill the paper one. Yeah, she got to hunt the most dangerous game. Like Wazamo. No pay back at all. Well, because it's justified. She has to fill the paper. Yeah, she got to hunt the most dangerous game like wasamo No payback at all. She got yeah, she got to hunt the most the most dangerous game a sex a hollix As a stage show the jungle like was on would do well back
Starting point is 00:21:39 So you know dangerous game a pyromaniac love story And so case closed definitely plum is off on her off She's got a new job as a bounty hunter and now it's time for more Stephanie plum adventures So we can expect 27 more movies in the series Huge not the what's the opposite of a hit how much of this thing cost it cost the budget of the film was about 40 million dollars Not counting marketing distribution so and it made like what forty dollars what that is not on the screen well i was cathart high goals
Starting point is 00:22:12 cathart high goal fisher Stevens does it and this day and age cap right now still uh... drawing down and i've got it was it was forty million and it what took in like ten zillion dollars uh... it was it was forty million and it what took in like ten zillion dollars uh... it may be the one point of the Wikipedia made about twenty six million dollars in america okay and ten million dollars international box office was huge ten million dollars overseas
Starting point is 00:22:35 that that's just per country right uh... in the world for every country all of them put together they didn't they i mean they didn't a product called of course plum fighter lost persons lost persons. I think it was called Lady Dick. I think if it was called Lady Dick it would have made way more money. At least in Thailand. Yeah yeah. Yeah it was not a success and well here's the thing uh Hyggell's other movie is usually cost in like 27 to 30 million dollar range. Right, right. So for a movie like this, that's a Catherine Heigel movie that also has like explosions and gun shots. I could see it why it would cost a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:23:13 40 million dollars. 40 million dollars. That is a lot of money for what we just saw. Yeah, I mean, it's not last air-batter. They're also paying for Lake Wazamma. I mean, he's not cheap, I don't think. Yeah, well, he's cheap. And they had to pay for Lake Wazamma. I mean, he's not cheap, I don't think. Yeah, well, he's cheap. And they had to pay for Lake Wazamma stunt man
Starting point is 00:23:27 to wear the squib vest or whatever. Yeah, Sean Lake Wazamma. Shhh. Ha ha ha. It's stunt man, Sean. They worked together in every movie. They had to pay for stunt hamsters. I mean, there's a lot of actors in this movie.
Starting point is 00:23:41 It's a very big cast. Kevin Hygels' Body Double. Yeah. For that sex scene. For that, it's a very big cast. Kevin Hygels' Body Double. Yeah. For that sex scene. For that, there's no sex scene. Okay, for the nude scene, through the semi-opaque, mostly opaque, is that another Mr. Skin tagline?
Starting point is 00:23:55 Yeah. semi-opaque. For a movie that is really, this is a lady movie. Let's be honest. Wait, what's a lady movie? Yeah, movie for ladies. Okay. There's a fair amount of catholic
Starting point is 00:24:07 the battle yeah i mean you know i mean like that was the it was you know that's i think that that's what's supposed to draw the man and you know she's uh... she's a there's action and most of that action is done in tight jeans and uh... low cut top uh... and so that gets the boyfriend in the scene action is done in tight jeans and low cut top. So that gets the boyfriend in the seats. What about the girlfriend? In the seats.
Starting point is 00:24:29 He's a very large boyfriend. Yeah, multiple seats. It's a big couple. So it's really inflated. The two of those are inflated. I know you're a runner. No, you bring your own seat. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:24:39 These movie theaters are very... They're trying to cut down an overhead. Yeah, take those seats home. They've got... You know, like they've got grease stains on them. They probably have some bed bugs. They're paid for seat storage. Yeah, no, it's just a bad deal.
Starting point is 00:24:50 You should not go see a movie in the theater. So yeah, I don't know why it cost $40 million. It's okay, but that's what Wikipedia says. Okay. And it was a big flop, which is strange. So we're not gonna see two for the money. I don't, well, that's, I think the second one is two for the road or something like that. Two to get ready. Yeah two for the money. I don't, well, I think the second one is two for the road or something like that.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Two to get ready. Like each, when I was three to get ready, go cat, go. But there's 23 of them. You can go dog, go. Which is the fifth of the big genitive on the floor. Go dog, go. But each of the title says it doesn't have any. That's a nice hat.
Starting point is 00:25:21 But when they get to like 23, that's dog, jeffo. When they get to 23, are they're like, when they get to 23 or they're like, 23 dead bodies or something like. I mean, I don't know. They might just call it Stephanie Plum number 23. 10 L Indians. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:25:35 The 23rd book, 10 little Indians. It's very confusing the numbering system. Yeah, it's like a base 12 thing. Base 12, yeah. So, and this is a base 12 base 12. Yeah So And this is a movie that much like cowboy and Indians come in come in come in Cowboys and I'm on the page to see that much like cowboys and Indians who thought
Starting point is 00:25:55 The same thing together finally at last Much like cowboys name didn't even exist at the same time this is another This is another movie where they optioned the source material many years before they actually made the movie. So this was in development for about 13 years in various stages. They're probably just waiting for the perfect Catherine Heigel to come along and step into
Starting point is 00:26:19 Stephanie Plum's famous shoes and do what you want. I wonder what other actresses were attached. Eliza Dushkuz. I don't know. Who's that one with the face in the bridge of Jones movies? Renee Zellig. Yeah, she's now a weird choice. With the face.
Starting point is 00:26:36 She's got that weird face. Yeah, she's really red. I don't, I'm not, I mean, I don't know who else was up for it. But it's, I, this is, I will say this for the movie. It moves pretty fast. And it is not, it's dumb, but it's not super painful. You know, it's not. Here are my primary problems with the movie.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Oh boy. Oh man. The direction is, lacks it best. Like the, the, yeah, let's almost not exist. The director seems to want to plonk someone down in the center of the the screen and maybe have them sit there while they say something and then they'll cut to another person who's sitting in the middle of the stream or already like off off center yeah well occasionally put them to the side of the screen and maybe have some more walking for once so
Starting point is 00:27:20 that was a problem and it just like there was as you said, Elliott, people seem to not get that confused by her becoming a bounty hunter. They didn't seem to be anything at stake in any point. It's the danger. And because it's a light movie or whatever, but like the danger of the fact that she's a bounty hunter never really seems to feel real or like the characters knew what they were doing or knew what they were in for and it made it hard to give basically give a shit if Catherine Higel is going to solve this case if her life just seems to be
Starting point is 00:27:54 like it's going to be fine whatever. But also like there's a light movie about a bounty hunter who's it's called Midnight Run. Yeah that's what I'm saying. There's a light movie about a bounty hunter who's conflicted about what he's going to do and it's called Midnight Run. Yeah and that case like there's a real sort of sense of stakes like Okay, well this person may or may not deserve what they're getting But I want this money and the conflict of that actually feels like a legitimate Push and pull inside a person like a person who has a moral
Starting point is 00:28:24 Sort of quandary. Where is this movie? It's just like, oh, yeah. Let's buy the numbers. I mean, this is about as disposable as a movie yet. Yeah, and it feels a little bit like a, that, you know, that trope of, you have the female character who's kind of stuck
Starting point is 00:28:39 in a somewhat dangerous position, and she's got two different possible hunky-male love interests that are opposed for whatever reason and I don't know where I'm going with it. No, I mean like you know it's not it's not big problems. In little China. I mean my like sequel. My objections tended to come down like on a scene by scene basis of just like that stupid like there's a scene where as we discussed cathana high goal uh... gets handcuffed naked to uh... the the shower curtain rod awesome uh... yeah it sounds super sexy except for it's not but she's handcuffed naked the shower curtain rod and the guy about the shower curtain rod thing
Starting point is 00:29:21 actually well she has to call her friends, unlock her from the handcuffs, whereas anyone who has ever taken shower knows that you can yank down a shower curtain rod from the walls. I got fucking muscles. Galore. Yeah, look at Samson and Hercules over here. Like, as you said, Stu, like, Katherine Hygge,
Starting point is 00:29:40 a small lady, all she has to do is put her weight on the shower curtain rod. We're not all twin-sitters, okay? We can't all just rip shavard curtain rods from the wall. Some of us are normal human beings. Possibly for comedic effect, maybe not. Maybe there's a like, Boeing sound effect. I know.
Starting point is 00:29:56 I know, like King Arthur drawing the shavard curtain rod from the wall. That would be a very weird reading of King Arthur. But no, like, I'm just like on a micro level, there are things that just don't ring true. Like the fact that you're always snacking, but how does she keep that rock and bod? But they bring that up. She says, he says,
Starting point is 00:30:15 Marelli says, how do you eat the way you do and look the way you look? Yeah, but what does she say? I don't remember something. She's just, she's just, I can't come to a show where God water. She says, I'm a character in a movie and I don't actually eat like this I
Starting point is 00:30:28 Spit out the thing I was chewing moments after see the thing it seems like you're asking for a little bit more realism Whereas I would actually want the movie to go the other way I agree with you be a little more exaggerated a little more fun and Over the time more vulgar get short now if you ever see kind of and the best characters and the most fun characters in the movie are like the drug the the drugie guy who gets killed the prostitutes like the very really sad characters I have you ever seen the morning's character on the character's wife on 30 rock Well, Sherry chef. Sure chef. Have you ever seen the last action? Now if it was a lot more like the last action hero I would be on board Cartoon cat a guy with a
Starting point is 00:31:17 Anthony Quinn farting in a tarp it all the things you want like in last action hero Death from the seventh sign Sadler yeah Actor will's that lucky around. Tism of the script, yeah. Oh, that'd be awesome, right? It's such a literate reference from it. It's so weird to see an action movie where they can take it for granted that the audience is at least
Starting point is 00:31:35 familiar with the fact that this famous movie has death in it as a character. That is a movie, I mean, like that's a movie that. And shows a scene from Lawrence Olivier's hamlet early on. Like that's a movie that that movie could scene from Lawrence Olivier's hamlet early on like that's a movie that That movie could have been good. It just was handled wrong like well. There's some good I think the whole sequence where they're in the movie is great And they're actually in the the action movie, but then all the other stuff is kind of bland
Starting point is 00:32:00 I do like when he's in the moon and it's really great. Wait is that Tom Nina in which part in that movie? Is any one of the bad guys? I don't know the tall bad guy, but the bald head. She's assumed that he is Tom moon is always good. Yeah, he is always good and he's almost always a tall bad guy It's really he's played a short saint Sometimes he's a tall good guy like in the monster squad. Yeah, it's an acting New York. It's well like it's kind of a weird guy. I would call him chaotic neutral But this I think one for the money would have been better
Starting point is 00:32:37 I agree that like the those scenes in last action here at least like go for broke and they're not afraid to be To be a movie. We're actually saying that it should be like last action here at least like go for broke and they're not afraid to be to be a movie. Wait, we're actually saying that it should be like last action. Yeah, I'm what you're facetious thing. I'm taking that face value. No, I agree. It's awesome. But I think this would have been a funnier or more fun movie.
Starting point is 00:32:55 It was like had a little bit more looseness and energy and went farther with its jokes and its scenes. It plays it very safe, like even when the characters bump into each other, they just go like, oh you again, well, blah, blah, blah, blah, like they don't react to each other very much. I think they could have improved it
Starting point is 00:33:15 by, at somewhere in the development process, realized that they should have just turned it into a TV show and gone from there. It feels like, it feels like, it feels like, it feels like I'm watching a TV show and I just saw the first episode I'm like maybe they'll figure this out. Later I'll iron out all the episode four and might be something. Yeah, you're right. This does feel like the pilot to an okay weekly show.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Like a USA show where characters are welcome. We're wrong. That's the thing they said. Where's the show where the detective woman had a hat? Prime suspect. It's a face on, based on of course the very good English show. Prime suspect.
Starting point is 00:33:58 But I'm not talking about that. I'm just saying that kind of show. That kind of show. Does the person in prime suspect in English wear a hat? No, it's Helen Mirren, right? Yeah, how? She doesn't wear a house. What the fuck's the show about then? It was actually originally called a hat, please. Head cop.
Starting point is 00:34:18 So you have the right to remain hatless. So how do I get one of those hats? You have to ask your lawyer. You have the right to a hat. If you do not have a hat, a hat will be assigned to you. I think this could have been, so I say take this movie, cast somebody else in every role, except for Fisher Stevens and Sherry Shepherd
Starting point is 00:34:40 and Barrett and all the other ones. And the guy who played Will Arnett and Steve Bouchemmi's son and the story of their love together. He just, the guy who looks kind of like Steve Bouchemmi and Will Arnett has son. I, like, if you took this and made it the one hour pilot to a TV series and then gave that series some time to like get with it,
Starting point is 00:34:59 then it, like it reminds me of what that show maximum Bob should have been like if it had stayed on for a while. Right. Maybe let Jonathan Freak's directing episode or two. like it reminds me of what that show maximum bob should have been like if it stayed on for a while right uh... maybe let johnathan freaks direct an episode or two to takes breaks yeah of course he moves fast and he works quick uh... then i'd be at it makes a better show than movie alright
Starting point is 00:35:17 uh... i think we're all there already i think we're almost there already but we should get into our final judgment since it's a good bad movie a bad bad movie a movie kind of likes to what do you say? Oh Oh, man I think it's tough. I think I'm gonna have to say it's a rare middle ground It's not fun enough to be a good bad movie, but I didn't hate it enough to really say it's a bad bad movie Um, I guess it's not really good
Starting point is 00:35:46 in any way but it does move fast. I'm not going to remember it forever is something I hated. I think I'm gonna sit on this fence with Stu that yeah I didn't hate it but I didn't like it but like I could see my mom passing away an hour and a half on a rainy day what? what? you know. you're not? yeah. the same mom who likes the books. I'm going to, so there's room on this fence, Dan.
Starting point is 00:36:13 no, I'm going to, I'm going to, it's a big fence, it's like the great fence of chimes. I'm going to, I'm basically going to be with you. I'm going to say that this is one of the best of the bad bads, like it, it was inoffensive. I kind of enjoyed watching it because I was in the company of you guys. And I'll say this about it too.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Like, I think Catherine Hygel was miscast. I don't think that she like sells herself as being tough in any way, but she is not brittle and unlikable in this movie. Like she normally is. She's much more likable than she is in like 20 cents. She's more likable than you. I remember a time when I'm like,
Starting point is 00:36:46 oh, I like Katherine Hyal. Toward the beginning of her career, when she was first coming out, I'm like, oh, she's good at what she does. And. But like they should. She doesn't nag as much. Yeah, this one.
Starting point is 00:36:57 She never says, tartanian. But she shows a bit of a comedic flair in this. The ideal and squelch- casting, if they had made this movie like eighteen years ago with marissa tome in the lead role like that would have been basically perfect casting
Starting point is 00:37:13 yeah i agree you would have believed her someone one who is tough enough to become a bounty hunter if she had to but too you believe her as naive enough to not know what to do as a bounty hunter and be in, and be in crazy situations, but Catherine Haigel is just not quite the, and also to have a cousin Vinnie. Yeah. Well, she doesn't know the cousin Vinnie. She actually engaged to Vinnie.
Starting point is 00:37:35 She's there. They're cousins to be very weird. I totally miss them. I don't know. Ralph Machio's Vinnie's cousin. But she won the award for it. Not every, no, not everyone. She won the award for being the best cousin of Vinnie's cousin, but she won the award for it. Not every no, not everyone. She won the award for being the best cousin of Vinnie.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Not everyone in that movie had the had the title relationship with the character. Like, for instance, the judge by Herman Munster was not Vinnie's cousin. Oh my God. And Perry White from the new adventures of Superman. So we're going to watch this again. What? Why does it make just a bit. After this episode.
Starting point is 00:38:06 It's on TVS or something, right? Well, it is very funny, like TBS. Where's that, wait, what's TNT? That knows drama, right? TNT does know drama. And you're gonna say basketball matches. And USA's characters are welcome. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:22 This has been the basic cable tagline spot cast. I have seen always on little off. Logo shows RuPaul's Drag Race, my favorite show. And I think it's bra, it's a VH1's tagline now is just, it's trending, which is horrible. That's almost as good as time Warner's tagline. Enjoy better. That's almost as good as Time Warner's tagline, enjoy better. They're like, well, we like enjoy and we like the word better. Just mash them together.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Yeah, let's put them together. I'm Mr. Time Warner. I don't have a lot of time. Or mash them up. So now it's time for the flop house moving mailbag. Yeah, the little bird. And the little bird. The little bird.
Starting point is 00:39:03 The little bird. The little bird. The little bird. The little bird. The little bird. The little bird. Yeah, Ellie, it's the favorite part of the show. Letter time, it's flop house letter time, time for letters to the flop house with Dan and Stu and letters from you. Flop house letters. I didn't even know you're yourself in your own son. No, that's, well, you're right. Oh, and Ellie, it's here. Hey, who's this guy?

Oh my god He says I've become troubled by something that only you can help me with oh good Okay, it does not my brother. I've recently learned that someone I know likes the movie old dogs you can help me with. Oh, good, okay, it's not my brother. I've recently learned that someone I know likes the movie Old Dogs.
Starting point is 00:42:45 What can I do in this situation? Has medical science advanced enough that I can cure this condition or will I have to shut them in my basement for decades? And tell them to eventually break free and go on some kinds of old dogs related rampage? Unfortunately, I do not have a castle to lock them up in. They'll have heard somewhere
Starting point is 00:43:02 that's the best way of dealing with freak. No! Thank you for your help in this matter. Oh man. And if the police turn up, I promise to keep your names out of it. Thanks. Now, I need to ask one of my information. We need information.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Yeah, is the person who likes old dogs, either a really old person, or a really young dog, or a really young dog. Or a really young, or like a baby. Yeah, like babies like all kinds of shit if it's flashing in front of their faces. Yeah, they're just like colors and shapes. Yeah, that's what old dogs has in spades, colors and shapes. Well, what you're doing to say old person or.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Or like a baby, right? Oh, okay. Yeah, no, you're a baby. You're one step ahead, Caitlin. If it's a nickname that's longer than my name. Yeah, I would say if it's a child that's okay, they'll grow out of it. If it's an old person, there's only one cure and that's death and they'll get it. So, Elyence encouraging you to kill them?
Starting point is 00:43:56 No, no. The cold hand of nature is for you. Elyence, or you're killing him. No, no, what I said. And they'll be judged by whatever gods they hold dear. Anubis probably. Anubis takes possibly from Anubis takes your your taste in movies and weighs it on a scale against a feather and if you love old dogs it's much heavier than the feather and you're cast into whatever the Egyptian version of hell is. Yeah, but your car is unsettled. I hope that helps. So hopefully
Starting point is 00:44:23 you well I will and I or get a castle and just stick your freak in it, you know. Yeah, just stick your freak in it. I'm, I'm gonna surprise you guys. Don't stick your freak right in there. Please don't ever. I'm gonna shock everybody and say, I'm gonna go with castle freak this time guys. You should go and watch castle freakak. Hey. Yeah, if they like old dogs, show them Castle Freak, that should cure them. So, it's a nice email from Heather last name with hell.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Locklear. That's congratulations on your 100th podcast. I honestly just found your podcast through the uproar over not knowing that Olivia Wilde was the mom and in time. Well, I guess every any publicity is good publicity. Yeah, sure. In this case, and wild over it. You get it?
Starting point is 00:45:10 Yeah, I get it. I am writing that Elliott, 1L, 1T, and Ben. Incorrect. Incorrect. Indescribing a costume of Superman that pits a circle of friends with different body types didn't notice that you experienced in real life the basic concept of the sisterhood of the traveling pant parts one is a good point it was the brotherhood of the traveling superman costume hoped it would set up a classic clubhouse tangent of the brotherhood of the traveling superman costume and how the
Starting point is 00:45:38 Superman costume helps resolve your various cliched coming-age dramas hope Olivia Wilde was involved in least one plot line. Yeah, well that's when I wore the suit under my clothes to make it look like I had muscles. So Olivia Wilde will go out with me, turned out at the end. She just liked my personality. I thought she was your fucking mind. That was the twist of my brain. Oh yeah, that's the big twist at the end too.
Starting point is 00:45:59 But she still goes to prom with Hell yeah. Yeah, why not? She's somebody's mom. Mom's gonna go to prom. Everybody's son but every prom. She's a no one in them and both yeah, why not? She somebody's mom. Yeah, mom's gonna go to prom everybody's son, but every Prima's no one in them in both of them. There's a mom is a mom Wait, what it was a real problem to there were a lot of guys there with their moms So I hope that answers your question. How did the Superman costume help you save your life? I mean I you know I
Starting point is 00:46:21 Look pretty good. I look pretty good and it I agree. We look pretty good. And Stuart What would you do if you had a Superman costume? I don't know. I'd probably go into stores and see if they give me free coffee I'm a celebrity. You may know me as S man. You may want to take a picture with me and then I'll sign it And I'll be like no, no, no, no bullets, please. I'll die by way, I won't die. I mean, don't try it. It'll bounce off a kill. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Don't try and pull. Who Deany on me? Because I was surely a rough shirt. Because who Deany was shot in the gut. While we're super mad. No, that was going on. Different from wearing a superman. I was saying, don't punch me in the stomach because I have super. Yeah, we didn't let him get it out. We got nothing in that true
Starting point is 00:47:10 So this last super appendicitis this last Oh, you're yellow the raise from your yellow son of gonna be super Yellow appendix This is from Christian last time I I think that means you have John this. It's a 50-A-L of them. It's Christian. It's a 50-A-L of them. Christian, another lady.
Starting point is 00:47:29 This is a lady's night here on the flop house. It is. Well, Catherine Hygol, Heather Christian, Bob Mackie. It's his high floppers. Hello. Hey. Some time ago. It's coming onto a letter.
Starting point is 00:47:42 You have nice eyes. Is that your your pick a lot? That's the first page. The first page of picking up ladies. Tell them compliment their eyeballs. All right. You got really sweet eyeballs. Your eyes aren't bulge at all. You don't look like a deep one or anything. A deep one. You don't have the insmith look. Yeah. You're not you're not like the last scene of total recall. Nice. Anyway, Christian says,
Starting point is 00:48:09 sometime ago you put out a call for flop house babies, which you defined as children conceived while listening to the show. Oh my God. Well, that didn't happen. I don't think I can meet that requirement, but I can tell you that when I awoke to my first labor pains, I was delighted to see my phone automatically downloading episode 94 Dreamhouse.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Awwww. I'm sorry. You're a witty banger and I'm using anecdotes to help me to get through a very long day as I waited for actor labor to kick in. At least I imagine your banter was witty and your anecdotes amusing. I can never listen to that episode again as I will forever associate it with the extreme pain of natural childbirth. Anyway, spoiler alert.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I eventually delivered a beautiful baby boy whom I have named after none of you. Oh, thanks for making a difficult day. A little brighter and congratulations on 100 episodes. I am so touched by that story that I am not going to even point out that Dan, when he meant to say, child, said, gave birth to a trial, and I'm not going to go on a tangent about a woman giving birth to a full court. Sometimes when you're talking over me, I get so flustered that my mouth won't say the word that I want to say.
Starting point is 00:49:16 But I'm glad. One vein on his forehead. I'm really glad that we could be there to help you in your time. I feel like this was the Plophouse version of the sitcom where a woman is in labor and an elevator and like Zach Morris is there. Oh, does it, dude? Well, we all have Zach Morris did it too. We can all imagine.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Wait, was it, oh my God. Three of us, oh my God. Zach Morris is elf. Yeah, that's the thing. The three of us delivered this baby in an elevator. So they have the same hair cut, I think. Yeah, and Zach can stop time. Alph from outer space. The the girl from Outer Space,
Starting point is 00:49:46 the girl from Outer Space, and can stop time. Hello, saved by the Alph. That makes sense. So you're saying that that girl's child of Alph and Zach more? That's exactly what I'm saying. Well, we're very happy that the boy was born healthily and that everyone's okay now. And I guess the next baby will be a little denure-tell-y.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Yeah, be it or Al if you could name it. Or Al, yeah. Stan's really in life form. Alright, well, this is the final segment on the show. This is where we recommend some movies that we actually liked and contrast to say one for the money. Which got a marginal... It's like a one and a half star movie. You got a C- yeah on the flop-out scale.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Yeah, okay. On the scale where Bratz is an A plus and 10,000 BC is an F- minus minus. Yeah, yeah, this was a C minus. That sounds about right. Solid C minus though. Yeah, I mean, it got points for having no speertooths, but it did have plenty of manics, so C minus. It didn't have any manics.
Starting point is 00:50:55 I guess I fell asleep during the C even catharticle hunt in the man- Three between the lines, Elliot. So, Elliot, what movie would you like to recommend? I would like to recommend, movie called The Missouri Breaks. It is a western from the mid-70s starring Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando, directed by Arthur Penn, who you've known from other movies. I'm not going to go into that. A little big man.
Starting point is 00:51:18 A little big man among others. Yeah. Bunny Clyde and all that. Sure. And it's about Jack Nicholson and Harry Dean Stanton and Randy Quaid are a couple members of a horse thief The horniest Quaid the craziest Quaid They're a horse thief gang and one of their gang is killed by a rancher and they decide to get revenge on him by opening a ranch next door and stealing his horses and the rancher hires this ranch next door and stealing his horses. And the rancher hires this kind of legendary but
Starting point is 00:51:48 very eccentric gunman played by Marlon Brando to stop them. And Marlon Brando basically decides he doesn't really care about stopping them from stealing the horses, but he does want to kill these men. And it becomes a hunt. Marlon Brando hunting these people down. And Jack Nicholson has to kind of figure out what's going on and and Stop him and it's really good the acting is really good in it and this is Around the time Marlon Brando really started going nuts with his performances and like doing crazy accents We're in crazy costumes. It's basically like this is a couple years before making apocalypse now So he's like not super fat, but he's heavier, but he's really good in it.
Starting point is 00:52:27 And his eccentricity really works for the character in a way that if anyone who may have read Blood Red Meridian, the Kormak Carthie book, the villain in that. Blood Meridian. Sorry, blood Meridian, not blood Meridian. Sorry, blood Meridian. Marlon Brando reminds me of that character a lot. This is just kind of evil spirit who is very puckish, but there's something sinister about him even when he's like taking a bubble bath.
Starting point is 00:52:51 And it's just a lot of, and it's Marlon Brando, you're like, oh, if only you could have stayed right there on the edge of Marlon Brando. You would have had a number of great movies left in you, but instead he just kind of toppled over. But it's a very good movie and it's a very good 70 70s western and you said Randy quades on it right? Randy quade isn't it yes and her eating stand that is a tofer friends that is a tofer of great character actors and also Jack Nicholson. What's talking about Randy quade and Marlon Brando like to the best actors ever and
Starting point is 00:53:22 there are a lot of movies but Randy Rany quayton Yeah, there's Rany quays will be in a handful of films So I would like to recommend so the Missouri breaks that's what that's called This is I equate presents I'm sorry, I'm ranny quay I think my randy quay joint I think my recommendation is appropriate for a week where we talked about one for the money with Catherine Hygge You recommend a decision is one for the money with Catherine Hyge
Starting point is 00:53:50 No, it's fun. Watch it on a plane A movie that has an unconvincing female action lead. I would like to recommend a movie that has a convincing female action lead Which was a aliens haywire which I watched the Steven Saadaberg film starting starring Gina Carano or Carano, I don't know how you say you got a pronounce a right around her man. She's Carano UFC fighter Gina Carano who
Starting point is 00:54:20 Steven Saadaberg saw I believe on a plane Doing UFC fighting. He was trying to watch Sherlock Holmes to for your recommendations who uh... stevens out of her ex-sau I believe on a plane uh... doing ufc fighting but it was trying to watch your local for your recommendations couldn't find it but the ufc button and said this woman needs to be in a movie there's a ufc but yeah it's right next to the stewardess but
Starting point is 00:54:37 yeah it's where the ash trays used to be but uh... it's a lot of fun you know it's uh... it's kind of a sister film to uh... the limi it's it's a lot of fun. You know, it's a, it's kind of a sister film to The Limey. It's, it's like, Lim Dobbs, the guy who wrote The Limey, wrote, uh, Heywire. And it's like The Limey, uh, except for all the significance of The Limey has been removed. And it's just a straight ahead sort of action thriller.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Uh, so if you swap out Taryn Stamp a bad ass female eminent fighter and she just beats a bunch of dudes asses that's basically the movie sounds pretty awesome do they use old footage of tearing stamp they do not okay well um... but they do have like weird uh... and loach didn't make too many ufc movies it is a steve and sought-a-break movie so there is weird like uh... out of chronological order editing
Starting point is 00:55:25 and uh, uh, it's a David Holmes who does those short films. Like the guy, I think it's right. I don't know, the guy did the score for like, out of sight, did the score for this? He did, he did the score for contagion? I don't know. It's got that weird like sort of throwback jazz score. Oh, then I don't think so. And it's the sort of Steven Sartreburg film I like, where he's just taking on like a genre
Starting point is 00:55:48 movie, but making it really fun. What's the kind of Steven Sardberg film you don't like? Um, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm This movie is a trim 90 minutes unlike Jay, which is a fat four hours. So I enjoyed it. Go see it. It's two. What do you have to say? I'm going to recommend a movie that is both is my two favorite. Both freaky and takes place in a castle. It's called invisible maniac.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Freaky Castle Friday. This is a movie that's both a found footage movie, which I totally love, right, dudes? And I don't, you don't. Now, I'm going to recommend the movie Chronicle, which is like a match, a mishmash of both the like found footage style movie and a superhero movie. And for some reason, it manages to work. It's a movie where you have a bunch of three high school kids. You know, you got one creepy kid who's gonna be Tetsuo later on. You got one kid who's like the cool nice guy and then you got... So like, so canada.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then one guy who's like, you know, the cool, like, he's like a jack, but you know, he's pretty cool. And he's played by Michael Jordan uh not like the basketball player no the guy played Wallace in the wire and was on not his name is Michael Jordan not probes you he should change that name not space jams Michael Jordan I don't think so I mean I'd have to watch space jam again not you forgot Michael Jordan not my dinner walking on air is. Yeah. I don't know what that is. I think it's a sports illustrated video they put out years ago. So you got these three dudes. They touch this weird magical geode that's down in a wholesome where they get like super powers
Starting point is 00:57:37 and they totally they try and keep it cool for a while and then they totally start abusing their powers and blow and shit up. Now the thing is that the whole like found footage element actually kind of works for it. The special effects and the powers and everything seem a little more real and a little more and they can let their budget stretch a little farther. So yeah it's good. So Chronicle. Chronicle. Of Rinnick. The Chronicles of Narnie is what you're recommending yes, but Legos Bionicles Never was allowed to buy Bionicles the Chronic to the the album the chronic is what you're recommending. Yeah, why not sure Chrono Trigger for the super good. That's a great game Do we want to keep going?
Starting point is 00:58:22 We want to say I know let me think if I can think of another one. I'm a grown-os, the movie. A grown-os, the Greek god thing. He's a Titan. I mean, he's a... he's still a god thing. Yeah, he's a... Titans are god thing. Cone heads, the movie. Yep, nope, yep, that's guy- I recommend that. That's David Cone, the baseball player.
Starting point is 00:58:41 I don't know that. Cone Island, the islands? Probably. No, waffle cone. That's a Coney Island, the island. Yeah, probably. No waffle cone. That's winning. That's cring. I mean, it's better than spun sugar. So chronicle. Yes. All right. Well, I think that's it. You guys, you guys, you're good.
Starting point is 00:58:56 No, I think I think you look at. I think it words that I think our words that sound like other words, quote, has been met. Oh, exceeded. You don't even have to do any next week, though we will. Wow. How's that? Quote has been met. Oh, exceeded. You don't even have to do any next week, though we will. Wow! How's Cat Winnie doing here?
