The Flop House - The Flop House: Episode #109 - Journey 2 The Mysterious Island

Episode Date: September 1, 2012

Apologies for the lack of more detailed show notes, as 2/3 of the Flop House are busy traveling for the GOP and Democratic conventions.

On this episode we discuss Journey to the mysterious island, probably the most fateful adaptation of any Jewels' verenwork ever. Hey everyone and welcome to the flop house. I'm Dan McCoy. Hey Dan, I'm Stuart. Stuart Wellington. Thanks for your visit. Hey Stuart and Dan, I'm Elliott Kaelin, your friend. So it's been a while guys. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while. A couple of weeks. It's not been. We've actually been stacking these up quite a bit because here's a little peak behind the Flapphouse curtain. We did a couple of... Oh, I'm not dressed. We did a couple of anorlogues because Stewart was going to go off to Jincom, the gaming convention. And because Dan and I will be heading to the RNC and DNC,

the corruption conventions. Yeah. Take that, raging against the machine. Exactly. And so forth. So to ensure that you, the valued listener, doesn't get an interruption in their flop house service, you're about to say get an erection, didn't you?

Yeah, I mean, it's just a certain level of professionalism. I'm sure that they do get erections. Oh okay. On the regular. On the regular. On the regular. Is that a phrase that anyone has ever used? I think so. But yeah so we've been people expect professionalism when they tune into the flop house. That's the watch word for our show. Yep. Pro-fessionalism. Yep. Just like that movie. Yeah, it was Gene Renaud, the professionalism. It's Gene Renaud? Yeah, Gene's Renaud. If you want for after you need him, self-effort's favorite pants. If you want amateur professionalism, tune into another podcast. Go somewhere else. There he was, say, go

second-aid. Nope, because I'm not a 100 year old man. No, no, that was good stuff, though. So, just to recap, Dan uses, in his everyday speech, the phrases, go second egg and on the regular. Well, we've learned a lot today. Thanks for listening. Good night, everybody. Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do something. Yeah. Alright, fair enough. I take it back. That's a thing, right? Definitely people

else. Yeah, Hills made it a deaf people. Yeah. This is a podcast. We're three guys. Take a look at a movie. A movie that was a critical or a financial law. Take a look at a movie. We watch it. We watch it from front to back. We don't just never back to front. We don't glance at the TV. We don't just flip through the stillills. We watch a whole movie. We watch it and we listen to it because many of these movies you sound is an element. A critical or a commercial flop and then we talk about it afterwards on the air. Yes. Which is what we're doing now and tonight we do it in a house.

So it's a flop in a house. No, that's actually the title. Okay. Tonight we watched a little movie called Journey to the Mysterious Island. Now wait, Dan, do you mean Journey to colon, the Mysterious Island? I think there's a colon. No, there isn't. I want to Dan to say no. I mean, Journey numeral to the Mysterious Island. So you're saying, I don't mean Journey to the the mysterious island. So you're saying that this is the second

flop house movie we've watched that is a sequel that uses the number two instead of the word two in the middle of the title. Yeah, it seems odd. Wait, was that the was that the twilight movie? No, step up to the streets. Oh, right. Not twilight to the moon. Sure. You're saying unlike say Teen Wolf 2. T-O-O. Yeah. Or Luke who's talking to T-O-O. That's an extra Teen Wolf. Yeah. Although Journey 2, the mysterious Alan wouldn't work as well.

No, it wouldn't at all. It makes sense, but it's indicating to the viewers who were big fans of Journey 1 that this is the second movie in the series. Or just fans of the band Journey. Oh, they finally made a Journey movie. They're into having two things. Number one, this is a sequel.

Yes. Number two, and this one, they're not going to the center of the earth. Which is the first movie. They're going to the numeral two. The mysterious island. So that this movie is investigating a different Jewels Verne book.

Yeah. So luckily, the rest of the movie was way better than the cool tidal naming convention, right? In a way, but we'll get to that. I mean, I think it's worth noting, though, you said that it's based on a Jewels Vern book. The weird thing is this is based on a Jewels Vern book that is a sequel to 20,000 leagues under the sea. It's not a sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth.

That's true. So they're mixing and matching Jules Verne. Well, the original mysterious island the book also didn't have Luis Guzman as a goofy helicopter pilot Fair enough or the rock getting berries flickered his pecs So they took a lot of liberties with the with the established material The mistake that this movie made and get rid of all the best material up front Should we talk about what happened in this movie? Let's discuss the plot a little bit. Okay, now I haven't seen the original journey to the center of the earth, but I assume they go to the fucking center of the earth and come back probably.

It's about a kid and Brendan Fraser and they go to the center of the earth. In this one, the kid is back. Brendan Fraser is not and the kid, bringing Fraser is busy making furry vengeance. Making furry vengeance and having cameos in the GI Joe movies. Yeah, perfect. The kid in this who you may recognize as PETA from the Hunger Games movie is this irritating teen kid who intercepts a secret transmission in code that he is stepdad, the rock, not a rock, but join the rock Johnson.

The rock. Who doesn't go by the name of the rock anymore, which is by his real name, Joanne Johnson. Who Joanne Johnson, his stepfather, decodes. Apparently, this message says that the book, The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne, is actually true. And Verneans, which the kid considers himself one of, and which exists in this world, I guess,

believe the island of Syria. You know, we were subscribed to Verne Beat, Ver Vern Fancy, all the top of Joe's Verni. Yeah, Tiger Vern, popular Vernanix. You're a good client of the print industry. No, it wouldn't be as an unactoric as an institution. Vern is keeping that whole thing alive. GV, that's gentlemen's Vernically. It's Vernopolitan.

Yeah, play Vern. I'm trying to think of a good earnest based joke. You guys might have to help me. Sports Vernistrated. No, well that's the thing in the earnest movies when he would say no to mean verne was talking to jules verne no kidding because jules verne predicted so much in his literature that urnus was assumed that jules verne had predicted his different adventures going to jail camp scaring stupid that kind of thing turned out that jules verne did know what he mean well only because he did write a book called Journey to the Saving of Christmas.

So anyway, they message tells him that this island is the same island that inspired Treasure Island and Gulliver's Travels, and using information in those books by which I mean, a drawing that's on the front page of each of those books, They construct a map with coordinates of where the mysterious island is. Yeah, it's basically goonies, right? Yeah. It's not basically goonies. Goonies didn't invent finding a treasure map and then going to find the treasure. Well, and goonies, didn't they have like a light box in their, in their attic?

I just, I was bothered by the idea that like, to make a map. Did they find a map or something? Were we to believe that these were first editions of all three of these major works in literature? I assume so. I mean, that's the real treasure, isn't it? Why do they have to go find a fucking golden volcano? He rips out the maps and overlays them in all three cases. And I'm like, so either these are first editions or we live in a world where like the fake ass map for this fake ass place is the same in every book. Well, also because those books all came out

at wildly varying times. Like I guess. It's like getting in the mouth of madness. In the mouth of madness when he rips the covers. But in each of those, Sutter Cane, the Harnov list has designed the covers for his own books. Okay, so those could all be paperback first editions. That's a contemporary author but this kid somehow has first editions of Treasure Island

journey to the mysterious island. I'm getting my tellers. That's not the name of the book. No, it's just the mysterious island. And also, Gulliver's Travels which correct me if I'm wrong is way older than either of the other two books. Yeah, I think you're right on that. So, so Jonathan Swift was like, I'll just put part of this map here.

And hopefully my brother's of the written word will pick up the mantle and carry my torch so that someday some whiny kid and his wrestler stepfather can go to this island. Because that's what they do. They go to Polau, which is the closest place to the island, and take up with helicopter pilot Luis Guzman and his sexy daughter Vanessa Hudgens, who the kid... Great, we needed a character like that to show up at that exact moment. Like a character like what? A goofy character or a sexy character? I think we're both. We're both. A little bit of both. A Guzman Hudgens-type character. I think we're both a little bit of both a Guzman Huggins type care

Guggins I like to think there's a that uh, but Louis Guzman is actually a goose man. He's bitten by a goose and he has goose powers now So they go and to hell in the helicopter they fly right into a storm the helicopter gets torn apart and they land on the shores of the mysterious island Seems kind of boring initially, right a little bit. It's just this rocky shoreline Then they travel through a cave. I mean they're alive. They are alive. Yeah, like it's pretty good They crash their hell like crash the hell cover in the middle of hurricane and they they're seem none the worst for where it's a movie It's okay. There's that I mean it is a god is obviously watching over them That's the hidden message of journey to the the mysterious island have you heard the good news have you heard the good news the mysterious island is real the gospel according

to michael canes character who shows up soon afterwards they're walking through the what they walk through a cave and they enter on a verdant paradise waterfalls tropical trees and whatnot and also giant butterflies and tiny elephants which gives the movie the title I gave it Wrong-size animals the movie Wrong-size animals colon the movie based on a true story. Yeah, of course just like hot dog the movie They put the movie at the end of the title. Oh, I thought because it was based on a true story Well, no, you look up the marquee and you say wrong-size animals. I want to see this exhibit. No, it's a movie.

Yeah. But there are tiny elephants that you see for like a minute. The rock literally picks one up. They taunt it and then he puts it back down again. So they taunt it. Luis has been talked about. He wants to keep it and it a trunk warmer. That's the only animal that is normally large and is small

in the movie, right? No, there's tiny sharks at one point. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Uh, and the elephants were so much cuter. That's true. That's true. Well, they got trunks and everything. Okay. So we all agree on that right? Yeah. The elephants were the cutest thing in the movie. Tiny elephant. Tiny elephant is Amazing news flash. Yeah, it goes tiny elephant. Louise Guzman Vanessa Vanessa Huggins, and I guess Michael Cain, in order of cuteness. Sure. Did not necessarily attractiveness, just cuteness. Cuteness. Adorability.

Yeah. So, they're walking through the forest, uh-oh, they stumble on a field of giant eggs, giant lizard eggs, and there's the giant lizard. Ah, it's chasing them around, it's chasing them around. And then a giant... We're just going through and sound effects there. I mean, Dan, Dan, if you could add those in after the fact,

lizard sounds, running, running, scared, that sound effects, right, when you just say what's happened. And then a giant log on vines, swings by and hits the lizard, a lot, a lot of the Ewoks, it turned, it was a trap set up by Michael Cain the boys grandfather who sent them the original message to draw them to the mysterious island it seems he's a verney and two and he discovered this island and wanted to lure his son there I assumed to kill him I don't know his grandson so I did it in code for some bullshit reason yeah Thank you. Man, how long have we been doing this?

And you just said Michael Cain? Only now broke out the Mickey, Mickey Morse, Micah White. Take so much out of me, Stuart, that's the thing. Yeah, you only have so much Michael Cain inside you. And when I lose it all, I die. It's just like a thousand Michael Cain's, that he Murphy movie.

There's a bunch of tiny Cain's. So Michael Cain tells them it's gonna be another two weeks until the Sadle communication satellite is in a place where we can send another message. Let's explore this island but then they find the ruins of Atlantis. It's very exciting. But uh oh. I like two two minutes it's exciting. Because then the rock notices that saltwater is leaching up through the soil turns out this island is sinking. Michael Cain says don't worry it sinks all the time it's we have 14 years until

it sinks and doing an amazing amount of mental math the rock says no we've got a couple days at the most we've got to get off this MF in island he doesn't say MF in but yeah but it's implied yeah and it's around it's around here when they're exploring and getting somewhere that Maybe the best scene in the movie takes place where the rock says hey Stepson, I know you've got a crush on Vanessa Hudgeons. You are not that much is clear You are not sealing the deal with her. Here's how you do it You have to make your pecs dance up and down. And he does that for like 30 minutes. You just see his pecs dancing. And then he says, flick a berry at me. Come on. And the

berries bounce off of him. And at the viewer, because this movie was originally shown in 3D. But he has to he has to really push his steps on to flick one berry at him. And like finally, and he's in. Yeah, and that's what's great. Like the screenwriters at this point, they're like, okay, we have this great joke. Let's work it. Let's work the audience a little bit. We got a berry flying at us,

and then what happens, Dan? Well, the great thing is, he is so, like the step son is so. Let's just give him a name. I think his name is Alex. Seth, Seth, Seth, okay. He is really? He is so embarrassed.

I'm gonna look this up. By this whole pectoral dance, he does not wanna flick a berry. And Seth, Seth, Seth, okay. He is really? He is so embarrassed to say that by this whole pectoral dance, he does not want to flick a berry. And then into the scene, he's confused. Louis Sean. His name was Sean. Sorry. That's okay. We were both wrong. Into the scene, shuffle Louis Kisman, who's like, I'll flick berries at you. He could not be more excited.

And then you have the whole handful. And just the rosam. Enjoying the rock, John's just like, yeah, go for it. Do it. do it go bounce it all over the place it is It is it is one bounces back in a Louis Gism is mouth It is the most weirdly Subtextual homo-rotic scene. I've seen in a children's movie in a long time I'm not counting later on when they both they both arrived to place on a giant B and Louis Gisman says can I ride with you and They both write a place on a giant B and Lucasman says, can I write it with you?

And the Rockwoods, the little exasperated, but a little... And the exasperated. The naked enthusiasm at this man-on-man relationship is... It's a friendship. Sussman really brings his A-game to this movie. He is all-energy all the time, constantly selling even lines like... when a lizard is about to eat them and he says I hope

it likes food that just pooped in its pants. Even that he sells. He is a professional. Bravo to you. Bravo to you, Mr. Goose. I think that all time seems like a living teddy bear. And even more so than that. He's gooby basically is what you're saying. For about 15 minutes of the movie, he's riding on the back of that B with joint bird shit all over him. And yet he could not be happier. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so let's get to the B part, huh? There's a giant volcano that spits gold.

Let's not get into that. I've got. There's a volcano that spits gold. A volcano that spits gold. Let's not get into that. They've got to get to the top of a mountain so they can get across the island to find the Nautilus, Captain Nemo's famous submarine, because that's the only way

they can be able to escape from this island. The mysterious island, if you will. And if it sinks, why don't they just swim away? Because they're in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, hundreds of miles from Polau. So they would die. Okay, no, you're right.

Okay, just wanted to let me show you new that people can't see. Why don't they ride on one of those joined bees? Even the bee probably wouldn't be that. It's finally survived on the mysterious island. And okay, so they've got to get to this top of this mountain. How are they going to do it? Topless? They've got to get to the top of topless mountain. That's great. The thing is the mountain has winds that whip around it that tear the shirts off people's backs. They've only sent expeditions of busty bikini clad women up to smacked. Some might call it a great bikini off-road adventure,

but not the great bikini off-road adventure. So you saved some kind of a rec center or some kind of a... It's a rec center and a dude ranch and a car wash. All in one, I think it might be a school for special needs children too. Anyway, so any who, as I should say, they say how do you get top of this mountain? We're going to fly up and Michael Cain goes, I'll know you were good for something to join Johnson because he's been ragging on Joanne in this whole movie. And suddenly Michael Cain is on top of a giant bee just flying around laughing like a madman, like a drunk Santa Claus at a mall just like laughing his full head off Suddenly, they're all riding giant bees steering them somehow. I don't know

You ain't got the back of their beets Thank you so you got you got one antenna in both hands. Hey, Shant, you know You know the left antenna to go left. I don't think that's how bees work does the other thing listeners Listen to your backyard catch catch a bee. Start y'all saying, tenas and tell us what happens. Just tell us. Yeah, just do it. Just tell it or videotape, I guess. So they're flying giant bees around, but what do what eats giant bees? Giant birds. So the birds chasing after them? That's the giant birds and the bees. You have your parents taught you about it, your giant parents.

Did you have the giant birds and the giant bees? So they're flying around, they've got, it's all this high-tech stunt in where they've got to use a invasive action to get away from these birds. The bee is steer amazingly well. They handle like a dream. And at one point, to get these birds off the fence. What would it have to do to push you in one of these giant bees? Now, basically, imagine it's the space for the pollen undercoding, they put that off the fence. What did he have to do to push you in one of these giant bids? Now, basically, imagine it's the speeder bike chase. Oh, the pollen undercoding, they put that into the factory.

We know we can't take that out. Basically, just imagine the speeder bike chase from what is that? Return of the Jedi, but instead of speeder bikes swap in bees. And birds. And, and, well, yeah, birds and, so stormtroopers, duh. It was just like that hit movie, bagged that bird, aka, catch that kid. Because let me that hit movie bag that bird aka catch that kid.

Because let me tell you the birds wanted to catch that kid and the kid wanted to bag that bird and by bag I mean escape from. So they were chasing each other flying around and my favorite part of it is that Michael Cain and Joanne Johnson have a plan. They're gonna play chicken zooming towards each other and then steer out of the last minute and let the birds chase them, hit their heads. And they're flying at each other going, ah, and then the bees put on a sudden burst of speed and then get out of the way and the birds hit each other and it's like, so what? Then they just turn on the nitro boosters on the bees. Like, did the bees fart and go much faster? Like, how did that happen? The two birds explode in a cascade of feathers.

They don't like explode with flames. Yeah, but like there's all these feathers going in, like in the bee like zooms out of that with Michael Cain on the back. And I think that was when my wife walked into the room saying what is going on? This is, let me tell you, I'm sure we've all had that. And what was going on was three grown men sitting on couches giving each other high fives.

And the image of an overjoyed Michael Cain laughing like crazy at the back of a B as he flew through a cloud of feathers. I tell you, sometimes movies are magical. That's why you ask why the Lumiere brothers invented the movie camera. It is for that. So Melier's wishes he had created this scene. Let me tell you. So anyway, they, uh, long story short, they get split up.

Luis Guzmán runs off on his own to look for gold because he wants to be able to send his daughter to college. Well, Joane and Sean are going to get the Nautilus and they got a swim underwater. There's a giant electric eel. They use that to repower the Nautilus. And they got a swim underwater, there's a giant electric eel, they use that to repower the Nautilus. Nautilus, uh-oh, the island is crumbling and collapsing. They're gonna be able to get to the other heroes at the time.

Probably not, they do. And, uh, oh thank God. And they all escape, and that's pretty much it. Guzman keeps the Nautilus and becomes a rich tour guide leader. And does our young hero, does he get to keep his girlfriend? Vanessa Hygians is now his girlfriend. For me and I guess she's moved all the way to the US. To go to college and be with him.

And on his birthday, I guess, he gets a letter in the mail from, uh, where's it from, Cameroon? And he's like, a letter from Cameroon. Who could this be? Oh, it's my grandpa. It's like, yeah, fuck, of course it's your grandpa. Like, he's a brook. You're a weird, weird world explorer, grandpa?

Well, he knows gonna be Cameroon, anyway. So, and then suddenly. Maybe it's a letter from like a Cameroon prince asking for his friend. For his bank info. Then third best moment in the movie after Barry's flick that joined Johnson's Pecs and riding a giant B through a cloud of feathers.

Third best moment, Michael Cain walks in, do it up like a leather bike rider. Yeah, imagine Rob Halford in like 40 years. No, but also like, but like in better shape than Rob Halford. But the third like home or erotic moment in the movie too, because it was not like a leather bike, I mean, he was like a leather bike I mean he was like a leather daddy like you Like an elderly He was wearing a helmet. I mean he's a little cap on. Yeah fucking like a little fucking strap to He wasn't wearing like chaps

He wasn't riding through or something. It wasn't like he what like we'd walked into that stereotypical gay bar in the police academy movies Is what you're saying? No not really That was a gay bar in the police academy movies is what you're saying. No, not really. That was a terrible. It was terrible. I just thought that was a mustache. I think that was, well, that was a scene that was originally meant for cruising. But it somehow got into the script for police academy.

Oh, but anyway, so he says, on gold, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, blah. And his voice, Stan, you do better. Please like, oh, are you ready for another adventure? Because guess where we're going? And he holds up Jewels Verns from the Earth to the Moon. That's right. They're going to go to the Moon. You said, we'll go into the motherfucking moon.

That's what he said it, but without the spirit. And we're like, uh, like, guitar, like, a few Christmas stewards. Christmas steward does a way. Does that her name? What's her name? Chris Davis. And I said, Chris and Davis. Is the Davis. Yeah, Does that her name? What's her name? Kristen Davis.

Kristen Davis. Yeah, from Sex and the City plays Sean's mom. So she then does like a spit take or something. She's like, uh, uh, no way. And Joanne Johnson goes, come on. It's just the moon. Camera zooms back out of the house. Zooms back out of the continent.

Zooms back out of the planet. Whips around the moon. We see the moon is there. Which is that's what people feel. People. The existence of the planet whips around the moon we see the moon is there which is that's what you feel real the existence of the moon is confirmed that's the end of the movie and so i guess journey three of the moon is uh... can be the sequel they have

greenlit a sequel where i assume they go to the yeah where they assume that either go to the moon or uh... maybe they'll just go around the world in 80 days, which seems like kind of a letdown. Yeah, I mean, you could do that super easy, just get on a plane. Yeah, but they're going to go to the... So, I feel like they can modernize during the center of the earth.

They can modernize the mysterious island. They modernize from the earth to the moon. They're just going to Earth to the Moon. They're just going to go to the Moon, and there was a bunch of great dust up there. Yeah, not bug aliens that they could crawl like with. It should be oversized animals, though, right? If they go to the Moon, it turns out the Moon's great.

Animals that are normally big on Earth are bigger, and animals that are normally small on Earth are smaller. Wow. So turtles are the size of beetles, and elephants are the size of skyscrapers. Okay. I mean, I think that's still pretty great. Yeah, I gotta say. Yeah, also for some reason sex is better on the moon.

I don't know if they're gonna talk about that. It's gonna be weird though, but it's a weightless thing. Weightless? Yeah, it's a weightless thing. It's very hard to get into the moon. You I knew I knew I was You may have a lot of extra curriculars. You may be a legacy. You're still gonna get waitlisted because a lot of people want to have that moon sex

Look, maybe you got straight A's straight A's you can be the valedictorian It's a lot of competition. You know,'re better off going to a safety moon for safety sex Just better chances just play the numbers So wait Like college like scumbag here. Yeah on the moon. Now are you it's called moon you get it? Because it's like they're mooning you but also moon university when you're having this moon sex are you in some sort of like moaning you but also moon university when you're having this moon sex are you in some sort of like dual like space suit that covers both of you at the same time or

You're out of moon base is there you can have sex on the surface of the moon actually can they're called fun suits, but you know that's When I would imagine I would imagine the usual flap I imagine yeah, it's called moon you and the teklan is in space no one can hear you come And the lack of air kind of intensifies the orgasm. Oh, yeah, I mean, you don't have to strangle yourself, yeah. It's auto-moon-rotic, it's the same. Yeah, so that was gross. But in the book, I'm kind of curious to see how they would do it, because in the book from the Earth to the Moon, they put a giant bullet shell inside of an enormous gun and fired at the moon. And I hate to break it you guys. It's not a feasible way in these modern times of getting to the moon. So how do they get back? They just kind of

get back in and fall. Okay. I don't remember if they set off an explosion on the moon. I think the bullet just kind of falls back to earth. No, that sounds pretty good. That works. Yeah. That's science. So we watched this long movie. Now it wasn't that long. It was originally... It was an hour and 34 minutes. It was originally presented in all three dimensions.

Do you feel we lost anything watching it in only two? Well, I hate to be a pedant, but we did watch it in three dimensions with height and time. Okay. Just because we didn't have the dimension of death does not mean it was not a three-dimensional movie if anything It should have been journey to the mysterious island for D. Okay. Well Pardon me for a second while I drown Elliot in what? He's got a he's got a cloth for the bathtub over there. Okay. Yeah Yeah, at least it's a classy bathtub to be drowning

But yeah, this was originally a 3d movie what we missed out on was a helicopter flying at our face Berries bounce off of the rocks chest bouncing in our face your face a lizard jumping in our face birds and bees flying in our face that kind of stuff Assuming on the moon perhaps. Yeah, although I don't know how that would work So well exactly in 3d because it's not like the moon is flying at your face What would happen? That's how it would work I also imagine a lot of the 3d was devoted to Vanessa Hudge's cleavage. I don't think so the big part of this movie I don't think really that it's a big part of the movie is about big part of this movie if anything It's the fact that she wears her shorts really low

No, you get pointing out those weird lines You had a horrific disgusting name for those lines. Nobody. I just called them pelvic lines. I think it is a valid observation to just say that, this is a modern family film. And one thing that you don't normally get in a modern family film is when we're in a movie version of the TV show,

Modern Family. That sounds fucking great. It's amazing. It's a family film. It's a story that, big enough for whatever that family is that I can't remember their name It's a family film made in our our prudish age that has like our prudish Vivid video advertising on billboards in the public everything like I feel like either things are pornography or they're Scrooved no you're right because for instance when they do remakes of older movies now they clean them up

Yeah, they can't all the sex The remake of fame, they cleaned it up, considerably, the remake of straw dogs, which is not a kids movie, but they still cleaned it up, considerably. This is like a straight-eyed family film, and Vanessa Huggins is wearing a noticeably like low-cut top and tiny shorts to the entire thing. And I feel like the camera lingers on that. Well, it's innocent sexy. It's like a frank tashlin film yeah sure and i think i think the ladies get some to do when the rick jensen is fucking the sexes pets a lot and that's who's monnie got you got both worlds you got you got the hunky

and the cuddly teddy bear you got the cuddly teddy bear genius i don't think it was a genius who's kind of a genius genius no he thought gold would be worth a lot of money. And then he's just, Well, that's not, that's not genius. That's something everyone knows. Yeah, he doesn't even get the gold. He's rich because of the not only.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. The not least that he didn't, he didn't find, right? Not well. No, I don't know why he got to keep it. Because he was so good at driving it.

But he almost killed them. It's like, you know, a submarine chooses a toner. Is that how it is killed them. It's like you know a submarine chooses a toner It's not how it is. It's like a magic valley like a magic sword So the not only is like the sword in the stone exactly One thing I'll mention that's not really related to the movie is that during the making walk it during the watching of this film I'd say the making of this film during the watching I came up with a term to describe you walks that I liked which was Teddy Bear cavemen You did come up with that

So listeners write that down 20 years when people are always using that phrase I invented it and I'll get a shiny nickel every time Yeah, I know there's this is a pretty this was a pretty colorful cartoony movie that moved really fast. I gotta say Until the end the ending I got kind of boring. Yeah, well, there's a little soul searching at the end Which it didn't need if we're considering this a movie where they they just ride around on giant B is you didn't need soul searching Although soul searching did lead to the other thing that I never expected it to see in movie which was Dwayne the rock Johnson playing the ukulele and singing a song about flying around in

time please. That's maybe we forgot to mention this part is that Sean the kid hurts his leg and in order to take his mind off the pain Michael Cain has joint he says that music is nature's pain killer which is not true. And he has Dwayne Johnson. And killers and nature's pain killers. They have a ukulele because Louise Gooseman plays the ukulele. And Duane Johnson plays the ukulele and sings, I guess, a parody version of what a wonderful world. Yeah.

With lyrics tailored to the adventures they've had up to that point. You can, it's probably on the, the CD soundtrack. Oh, I have to assume. Yeah, from electric. I'm on iTunes. So on relaps records. So yeah. So there's also a scene where Louis Guseman wall standing on a so on relapse records uh... so yeah so there's also a scene where Louise Gusemann wallstanding on a

giant lizard egg falls inside and then has a moment where he yells at a baby and a certain baby lizard yeah i mean Louise Gusemann is delightful he's just really he's likable through almost the whole movie probably a little bit stupid but by far the best character he is an American treasure. I think I could have watched more of a movie of Duane Johnson and Luis Guzman getting an adventure. The two of them? I have to say like I've never been a huge fan of Duane Johnson but he has an undeniable charisma and in this he's like a really fun guy to watch in a movie and he manages to carve out this character who is not a big strong dumb guy and he's not like a know-it-all. He's like a

very competent adult who like is a big strong guy but he never uses his strength in the entire movie pretty much. Like you could you could have Dustin Hoffman play the same role basically and you wouldn't have to tailor it too much except for the peck scene would obviously get cut. More of a conger. But like, like, Joanne Johnson is just very like likeable and plays a character who is very likeable and it helps cover up the fact that the kid Sean is a total cipher and not interesting at all.

But like, if the sequel was just Luis Cosman and Joanne Johnson just having an adventure like that'd be awesome. Like that'd be great TV series Yeah, go to the moon. You call it advent follow. Here's the TV show just lead Here's the TV show we call it adventure buddies It's Luis Cosmen Jwayne Johnson. They have adventures. Sometimes they don't have adventures Maybe they're adventures just go into the supermarket. It's an everyday adventure Maybe they got a return a library book and that's based on everyday adventures by Joel's Verne. Yeah, during Joel's Verne's very time-filled inspired face. When he just wanted to write about everyday things, yeah.

There's that episode where there's that volume where Captain Nemo has to wait for a table in a Chinese restaurant. It's terrible. Very funny though. He had his status as a seek Hindu guy or whatever. He's a prince. A sea Hindu guy. Two different religions. No, it's basically the same thing, right? Well, they go with the Indian version of Nemo and not the Polish version of Nemo. There's two different versions of Captain Nemo. What? What? Right. There are two different Nemos. You might even say there's Nemo within you expected. No, I wouldn't say that. Especially because it barely makes sense. Monemos, Mo Problems. That's what I'm saying. When you're sitting around the water cooler,

you can say that almost. When the character Captain Nemo comes up around the water, you would hear it. I'm sure it made a joke. Hey, Nemo problems. Nemo money, Nemo problems. And we're like, I'm so tired of that. Hey, I found Nemo. Found him, everybody. I found Nemo.

Every time 20,000 leagues in it, the C comes up. Makes the same joke. Well, that's the, it reminds me of the great Seven Night Live sketch where everyone's misinterpreting the phrase 20,000 leagues under the thousand leagues. So this so we're 20,000 leagues under the sea. No we are traveling 20,000 leagues while we're under the sea. With a funny sketch based on a very small misunderstanding. Tiny misunderstanding about the way about the title of a 19th century book that depth versus link So anyway journey to the center of the is the world we should move on to our final judgments on this was this a good bad movie a bad bad movie movie kind of liked Elliot go you know what I have to be honest with myself

I have to say a movie I kind of liked it was really goofy and cartoony and stupid and not like a really good movie But on the other hand, I enjoyed almost all of it. It showed me things I never thought I'd see in a movie such as Michael Cain riding a giant B, and Joinsaw Johnson picking up a tiny elephant and then just putting it back down again. And even the part with the Dancing Pecs, which I did not like when I saw the trailer for this movie, in the movie, the movie knows that this is a stupid crazy thing it's doing, so. Yeah, I kind of enjoyed it. Yeah, and there's so much to light from Louis goes but you could not be happy that this is one of the few movies

with it's negative news yes this is like the innocence of a child one of the few movies we've watched for a plot house where I feel like the people at some involved in it at some point must have felt good about themselves whereas most of the movies we see the people involved seem to hate themselves in some way. Sort of deep shame. But what about you Dan or Stuart? I would say that I actually also like this movie. I mean I mean it was very it was short but that doesn't mean like you know a lot of movies that we watch we think okay this is 90 minutes long it'll go by like a breeze and then it just seems like a slog.

Passion play was 90 minutes long and it'll go by like a breeze and then it just seems like a slog. Passion play was 90 minutes long and it felt like it was a hundred hours. This movie moves along very quickly with its plot developments and there was always something sort of interesting going on. I don't know if there wasn't something new we come along next. And I like seeing a movie with big monsters running around. I like seeing a movie with the cleavage running around. I like seeing a movie. She's like 14, Dan. Sheage running around. I like seeing and she's like 14

Dan she's not 14 maybe 11 23 in this movie at least But she hasn't got a college yet well her father can't afford it This is yeah, she wants to go to the Polo State but over the fight in Poloans this woman is a movie teenager Which means that she's in her mid 20. Yeah, it's or in her 40s But yeah, I thought this movie was actually kind of fun and I enjoyed it. Stuart? Yeah, I mean, I agree.

Everything you've said I agree with. Louis Guzman, amazing Vanessa Hudgens. Yeah, sure, she's got dimples. Around every corner there's new vistas to explore. I will say a lot of the effects are really obvious kind of cheesy CGI which works here because you're not supposed to take it too seriously. So, I'll just get in super HD. Stewart kept saying throughout the movie, where do they shoot this? It's beautiful. I'm going to visit this place.

Where do they find this field of giant lizard eggs to fall on? Yeah. Well, if you build it, they will come. That was the lesson of field of giant lizard eggs. So I'm Kevin Cosner. So I'm Kevin Cosny. So I was just changing his name up. To an egg, egg name. To an egg name.

Yeah. Kevin Austridge. Before we get into letters, I got a few of those pieces of business to part of the show, but not yet. Sweet best part of the show. Wait a minute. Dan's got some thing that he's got to do. I don't know what it is. So let's hear what it is in a minute. The first. So I thank Dmitry T. Jessup. Yeah. And Robert. Dan, hold on a second. The house cat is here.

Oh, house cat. Oh, he left. He walked out. Is back again. No, I'd like to thank Dmitry T. Jessup W. And especially Robert D for their generous donations. Thank you very much all of you. One and all. Thanks for helping us make this world go round just a few minutes more. Whatever that means. I've realized that in it's been a long time since we've been a long time.

We've actually... Get from there to here. Alright, it's up singing your Star Trek themes. It's been a long time. Sorry. get from there to here. All right, it's up singing your Star Trek themes. It's been a long time. Sorry. Since we've actually mentioned a few things on the show, one of which is the website address. Okay, we have a website.

www.flophousepodcast.com, where you can go and see show notes and see plugs for other things that we're doing and get a link to the Facebook page where we have a rich and engaged community. Oh yeah. The floppy's on the Facebook are always ready to discuss anything. They're a bunch of great folks and they make crazy jokes up and I love talking to them. So you should too. And you can also find a link to the flop house Wiki which is which if you ever want to stir up a really intense conversation about duck tails, Nicholas Cage. The sight and sound top 10 lists or what Dan is. Just go to the ballhouse Facebook page.

Really want to insult me. That seems funny at the time, but just chips away at myself a scene. The Flap House Facebook page is a safe place to do that. Yeah. And in the flop house, Wiki is as always wonderful. Well, we're spending a couple hours or a couple hundred hours. It's more like if you're new, or like 10 million hours. It's a clue you might have on some old in jokes. Either that will confuse you further about those in jokes.

But for the very least, you'll find the subly plot for my screenplay pitch, Million Dollar Getaway, which I'm still willing to sell the Hollywood for $700,000. And I also wanted to mention the Flop House email, the longest emailing podcasting, which is the Flop House podcast at gmail.com. The Flop House podcast at gmail.com. Any dashes or spaces?

No, terrible email address. One very long word. Are we plugging stuff now or should we wait later to let it? To let it. Okay, after the letters we'll do some plugs. So people have probably turned off their podcast machines already. They're called iPhones. But we'll move on to letters.

This first one is from Stefan last name with hell. I assume, I assume last name is Rikkel. Possibly. It's a letter from Stefan Rikkel, the cool version of Irkall that he gets when he drinks a potion or gets into a machine or some shit I don't know. Yeah, so wait. It's cooler than Steve Irkall But that guy's really smart and gets really good. He's really cool Well, let me explain some things to you Stuart after the podcast. This is an apt email for tonight's movie It's titled 3D. It's titled 3D or 9-3D.

Why don't you guys watch Journey to the Mysterious Island? Well we did, Stefan, thanks. Why don't you go fuck yourself? Whoa, whoa, whoa. You are putting words in my mouth that I thought but did not say. So this is title 3D or not 3D. It's 3D, of course. It's the truthiest of the letter.

Represented of the House of Flop. Thank you. I've been a long time fan of the podcast. esteemed representatives of the House of Flop. Thank you. I've been a long time fan of the podcast, and I've gone through the entire archive several times. You never failed to entertain with your fantastic movie pitches, growing lists of original Batman Williams, discussion on the intricacies of ductiles, and of course words that sound like other words.

That's what we do. Recently, I was helping my parents pick out a new TV, like all other mundane tasks this reminded me of the Flop House. What do we do? Recently, I was helping my parents pick out a new TV. Like all other mundane tasks, this reminded me of the flop house. My father, who unironically loves bad movies and is unaware of their crap-atooted knee, wanted a new television with 3D displaying possibilities. As the original pages may have noticed, many recent flops have been released in 3D. Much like tonight's.

To help the failing movie industry get more butts in theater seats as those people seem to prefer watching movies in the comfort of their own home to sitting in an overpriced movie theater. I would say it's really more to squeeze extra dollars out of ticket sales. Man, it's basically the same thing, though. Nope. Have you flappers considered upgrading your movie raw sum setup? Why don't they do some kind of a deal where when you buy a ticket, you get a free bag

of popcorn? Well, popcorn is where the movie people are in their profits. So that's what if you buy a bag of popcorn and you get to see a movie for free? Again, then the studio doesn't make any money. Okay, anyway, we'll ask this out. They're both unvisable. Have you, flappers, considered upgrading your movie watching set up to be able to watch your beloved bad movies in shitty post conversion 3d

The way marketing executives intended them to be seen. I'm thinking specifically of movies like drive angry 3d rated R or the Invevable and justified flop house entry go to the Shrider Spirit of engines So basically anything with 3d with Nicholas Cage in his best movie with this letter was written before we watched Ghost Rider Spirit of engines a. Blaster on the flop pass. It's like the past is talking to the future. It's like that episode of the save by the bell where they unirth that. I remember that time you have left us out from the old and they'd bury their own at the end, right? Yeah, they're the only ones you get to contribute. I feel so bad about for all the other students. No, the sub the

sub takes the save by the bells. It's just like the Twilight Zone episode. It's a good life. Zach, Kelly, Screech, Slater, and Jesse are heroes. And Lisa, I have mind powers that allow them to change reality. They cut base-eyed off from the rest of the universe a long time ago, and they run that place. That's how they can go to Mr. Building's office whenever they want.

Sure. And can't Zach more stop time? Okay, well, thanks for office whenever they want. Sure. And can't Zach Moore stop time? And he makes more sense. Exactly. You don't interrupt the big olislanters house. But instead wait until after the letter. So read it. Meaning this digression. No, I can't.

When you're talking over me. If so, what would it take for you to make the switch to 3D? And would it involve an eccentric millionaire and how would boxing alligators figure into the equation? Oh, good question. Good very good question.

That's from Stephen last name withheld. Well, if we found an eccentric millionaire and how would boxing alligators figure into the equation? Oh, good question. Good very good question. That's from Stephen last name withheld. Well, if we found an eccentric millionaire who boxed alligators, a lot of the happiest millionaire, then I think maybe Dan would take a 3D TV, but Dan, you actually have some TV news. He just got a new TV. Upgrade the television, and I avoided a 3D television.

And why, what was you thinking about that? Because they're terrible. And they make everything look awful. But why else? Well, but on top of that, I'm worried. In the process of buying a new television, like it's no secret to longtime listeners that I live in a Brooklyn apartment and Brooklyn apartments are not huge, spacious,

by and by. Stay for yourself, I live in a palace. You do live in a palace. But a golden palace with the three surviving golden girls. You've been a television writer longer than I am. That's it. Only one surviving golden girl. Oh my God, I've got two golden girl corpses in my apartment.

But I found in the course of shopping for a new television that you no longer can get a reasonable size TV. They only make the big ones. They only make big ones. They either make like small ones that you're supposed to put in your kitchen because apparently you have to watch television when you're in a kitchen now. I grew up in a house with a TV in a kitchen. We're not crazy. We're not hill people. We're not monsters just because we have a TV in the kitchen. Yeah, it's not like you're watching the TV and like burning your hands on the hot French fried rice. Why would you need that? Look, if the other

TV is in my parents' room and my sister is friends over and they're in the basement, where am I going to watch you a say up all night, but on the kitchen TV? But the point is, I rest my case. You can't get a television that fits in a reasonable apartment size anymore. You can get like a 50 inch fuck. Well, they want you to have, they want you to mount it on your wall. Yeah.

And I feel like it. Fifty inches would actually be very small for a whale, but continue. But that's where you get into all these crazy accouted remaps, which I don't want in the first place. Yeah, so we're left with two options. Either there's giant TV, and we have to sit in somebody else's apartment and watch it through the window. Or there's a teeny little TV and LAS is set on my lap, and Dan has to kind of snuggle in. Wait, I don't understand why we're squeezing together when the TV is so small, there's more room in there. We need to get close to everything.

I don't know. I don't understand either, but Stewart says it's the only way. So, all right, well, let me get on your lap. So today we watched Journey 2 in somebody else's apartment while your wife Sarah held a cell phone up to the speaker and we can listen to it. It worked great. It was kind of in three dimensions. I would say I still have, and maybe it's because I'm an old-time fuss budget and a car

margin. But I've probably, I've probably believing that 3D television really is the way the future because the things that are on television are not shot so as to look good in 3D. And I don't mean just like they're not taking, they're not taking, they're not taking , they're not taking, they're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. I don't mean they're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it.

They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it.

They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it.

They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. They're not taking it. not going to look good in 3D. I think 3D TVs is a fad unless they somehow change the way television is shot and presented. And the first thing I imagine when they present these 3D TVs where guys have to work like you have to work like a set of glasses to watch it, this guy is getting up to go to the bathroom and like bumping their legs on their coffee table. Or bumping their legs on the TV people that are now three dimensions. Yeah, exactly. I also, just to be in myself,

not a huge fan of 3D movies, I find it makes my head hurt, and it makes it harder for me to take in the whole screen as one composed image. So no, thank you, Baywolf 3D. Yeah. That was one of the better ones. So this next one is recommendation

from Paul Lastname withheld. Paul Lind. I admit, I'm gonna read it mostly for the post scripts, so keep tuned in. I wanted to send you a quick recommendation. I recently watched Kareth Edwards' little scene, 2010 film Monsters, which, while not perfect, is an interesting contrast to films like Cloverfield or insert Dan's style side, Godzilla. It's kind of templative and thoughtful while those are

frenetic. Apologies if you've already seen it, but I thought I'd suggested just in case. PS, Dan, I thought you'd like to know that my wife, when hearing the podcast, said that the sad sounding fellow who steered the conversation was her favorite. PPS. Okay, that's a lie. What she actually said was, huh, and hasn't listened to another episode. That's why Gilly, it's wife. PPS, she said. I should say and hasn't listened to another episode. It's like, it's wife. PPS.

She said for the listening to the episode part. PPS. But to head off Dan's inevitable question, yes, my wife has a nice ass. Followed her assing with help. Well, you, it's amazing how well you predicted Dan's mind at that point. Thank you for your ass news. I have a usual that should be sent to the Flapphouse Askcast at gmail.com but understandable since Dan does talk about wives' asses

on this show. I did it once. While we were watching the movie he talked about that ass. Vanessa Huggins is. No the other one Kristen Michael Cain's. That was Elliot! You're now attributing things of Elliot. You agreed with what I said, though, because you said, I said, I said, I said like two seconds before I said, I quote, Kristen Davis has a nice caboose. And you said, I was just thinking the same thing. I don't know if you were thinking the word caboose. Yeah, I wasn't as charmingly old timey it but but monsters is an interesting movie on the subject of wife asses monsters is a good movie thanks so this is from a flop house

superfan Remy last name with held hi Remy she says the universe cries in agony because of this unexplored avenue of comedy. When I heard you mention that the house cat is practicing for a Shakespeare play, I was expecting a patented flop house tangent. I think you forgot that we forget things as soon as we say them. The entirety of creation was sorely disappointed when no such tangent materialized. God damn it guys, now all of creation is an in-state of chaos. I demand you rectify this.

The scales of time cannot be off-balance for more than two months, otherwise the gates of eternity will collapse. Very true. PS, hey Stewart, what did you think of the Dark Knight rises? Does it compare well to Castle Freak? When you think about it, Batman lives in a mansion, which is kind of the castle. Also, Batman's kind of a freak, because he's a weirdo who dresses up like a bat. Is he a better castle freak than the original? I think the answer, the question then is, does Batman

rip his own ding dong off? The answer is yes, just like in the original movie, Castle Freak. Dread advice to our Gordon starring one Jeffrey Cones. Would Batman be a better castle freak than me? Yes, would he be a better castle freak than the actual freak now of course i'm sorry ready for nice try uh... put that one over on me but this uh... this this this Shakespeare play uh... yeah was i forgot that the house cat was uh... well i got like a king lear type figure cat lear it's called

he divides at the litter box between his three kittens thinking the love him more but in fact two two of them, Caterl and Ricat love him less. And of course, Caterl, you always loved him, but wouldn't make a big show of it. And there's all the others. There's the subplots with the two twin brothers, Cat word and Catland, and of course, Puster, their father. Okay, so everybody, you're welcome. I just gave you a chance to see how much stuff L8 knows about Shakespeare Specifically King Lear I know quite a bit about but some of the other ones don't ask me to do any Timon of Athens stuff. Oh no Corillin is riffs from you

Except that Timon of Athens is the only Shakespeare play to star on your cat Tim, Tim, yeah, Tim, yeah, I'm of a star on your cat. To me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, kind of New York podcast is this? PS, write a pilot for Thiefiest and Stelios, TV series, and I'll be free of it. Okay, I'll work on that pilot. As for Zipelies, that was a food thing, right? Yeah, I'll give it a rat's everything. It's Italian fried dough and...

Yeah, but you ever been to a street fair in New York? I avoid them because I don't, that's not where I want to buy my underwear socks or funnel cakes. But they have the softest socks the sign says that the socks are the softest look. I don't. I'm so it's rare that I'm in the market for mismatched socks bras with holes in them or gyros so you know. How about watercolor paintings of the New York skyline? Nope, don't want that either. All right. Or a t-shirts for local bands.

Okay. So, yeah, I don't know. I'm not a fan of, I don't know, anything about Zeppelese. Of course, Zeppelese. Mark's, I'm familiar with the least 20 of the Mark's brothers. Sure. But the most fried. And this last, this last, uh,

flop house letter comes from Dan. Last name disclosed, Barubay or Barubi. And it's title. Wait, it disclosed that name, Dan. McCoy, I'm making fun of Dan McCoy here. Not you, Dan. Oh, he doesn't have a Financk Barubay or Baruba. If he really wanted to disclose his last name, he would have had a Finetic spelling.

But as someone whose mis, his last name is mispronounced all the time i sympathize with him and thank you for writing and thank you for writing and listening his letter is titled vindication dear the flop house as the guy who wrote that ding dong gate letter i would like to thank dan Mchoi for having the courage to support my campaign for the truth kicker it is that was a part thereink-dong ripping in cashafriek. Mr. Wellington, the American and Canadian people have spoken. Dan, you are truly the Bernstein to my woodward. And for that, I thank you.

Stewart, that makes you Richard Nixon and Elliot, I guess, your Ben Stein. Okay. So I look forward to your hilarious game show and misguided climate change documentary. Well, my life goal is really the clear eyes commercials. Yeah. And you always dreamed of putting the turning on a shower head over a beach ball, just like Ben's time. If the end result of me telling you that a dude rips his own dick off in a movie, got you to watch Castle Creek, then I've done a service to both you, Dan, Dan, who I'm sure was sitting here at two in the afternoon, furiously writing down the time on his DVD player for when

that scene actually happened, so he could prove to me that it didn't happen. I did you all service, and you know what? That makes me pretty great. I'm not quite sure why I was Ben Stein in that scenario. Very least I should be like Spiro Agnew. Gerald Ford. How about a Mac Numera? A Mac Numera? Just one of them? Just one of the many Mac Numeras littering the floor? Is lying around? Pick up any Mac Numera. It doesn't matter. You'll be that one. So we all got a little bit of burned in that letter, segment. Yeah, we did.

Those letters, those letters took no prisoners. I got a text from that. I just take a look at respect among the fans. Something tells me we have engendered this among the fans. You know, they're always keeping us on our toes, guys. Yeah. Can't just, can't be slouches. It isn't always, letters, letters, episodes.

Let's go. It isn't always, letters written by Dan about how great Dan is. So this final segment of the show is where we recommend movies that we usually have seen recently, not necessarily, but movies that we like in contrast to the usual draws we watch, although we all kind of enjoy it, journey two. Ooh, draws.

Ooh, well. Look at Alfredo or Tennyson over here. Let's do it. Is there a movie you would like to recommend? I do. This afternoon before I drink a bunch of beers, okay? I sat in my living room and watched the raid, Colin Redemption. I want to see that. For American, that was for American release, which is I guess Indonesian, I don't know. No matter. It's a great movie about a bunch of Swat team dudes who go into this tenement building and that have to beat all these dudes up.

If you like dudes beat each other up and like grunting a lot and shouting. Those are things I like. And for a movie that features a fair amount of CGI blood, you guys all know I'm an outspoken opponent. Usually a deal breaker for you. In this case, even when Zatouichi himself is spraying that CGI blood. In this case, it didn't bother me as much. I guess it might have been the grunting or the shadows. So run, don't walk. To my

living room and watch. You're after a little redemption you're living your words playing right now that's where I want to watch it again so you should come over and watch it with me thanks love Stewart uh... i you know i a little bit i go i rewatched uh... i was home at night uh... the wife was act yeah pain is a word, victory in your life.

I just get to the movie, would you? I wanted to watch something fun. Okay. I wanted to watch some fun and light. And I rewatched. So the sorrow and the pity. Yeah. Salo.

I rewatched Galaxy Quest, which I don't think I, it's seen in full since I saw it in the theater when it came out. I'd seen bits and pieces, obviously, on television, because I feel like it's always on television. But I really enjoyed it. And watching it again, it sort of struck me that it wasn't necessarily that it's the most hilarious comedy. Like, I didn't find myself laughing out loud a lot at what was happening in it. L-O-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L- Yeah, I mean other than I actually thought that Tony Shalub's line readings as like the weird

Totally sort of spaced out possibly stoned actor. We're really funny But in general it wasn't necessarily that it was a comedy where the jokes were so hilarious But it was so well-constructed. I thought that was a this Tony Shalub's character. Yeah, I thought that was a Sam Rockwell's character. Sam Rockwell is the nervous guy who thinks he's gonna get killed. Oh, okay, I gotta mix up. But, and he's very funny in a two. But, but, but, but, by and large, what I found most enjoyable about it was,

it was just a super well-constructed movie where everything pays off really nicely and you feel really good about all of the character arts. It's just a movie that makes you feel good about what happens in it. Like Prometheus. Yeah, exactly like Prometheus. And speaking of Galaxy Quest, that Tim Allen guy, you know,

he's a rising star. He's a great guy. One of these days, he's gonna get his hit. He's had many. Okay, so Elliot. I'm surprised you mentioned the Gwini-Lievers cleavage. Since that's your thing.

It's not. Yeah, that's my thing. It's my thing. Dan alone of all men of all men. I enjoy cleavage. I don't get the big deal. At his own mouth. Yeah, it's you know, whatever. It's like a chest butt. Well said Stewart. He's the poet laureate of, laureate of filth. I am going to risk cliche about my being a Brooklyn Indie movie watcher, and I'm going to recommend a movie I saw this weekend that I liked a lot called Beats of the Southern Wild, which you've probably heard of, because it's one of those those indie movies that gets a huge marketing campaign and everybody's talking about it as if they assume nobody else has heard of

it because it's a small movie but everyone's heard of it. I call it Blur Witch Project Syndrome where everyone would say, have you heard about this movie Blur Witch Project? Yeah, of course I have. They're commercials for it all the time. Come on people. But... Elliot's recommendation comes with a keeping help of the irritation.

That's me, but I actually enjoyed a lot. I found it to be both touching and funny and very well put together. And especially for a movie that's very episodic or rather or pick a rest, if you will. I will. It holds. Thank you for doing that. It holds together nicely and has some really great performances in it by some non-professional actors and I really liked it a lot. So that's what I'd recommend. Beasts, oh the Southern Wild. So guys, we've come to the end of another quest.

There's the laziest quest. Another quest to sit in a row and do what are you trying to do? Well we found Curly's gold, everybody. Turns out there was less of it than we anticipated. So we actually lost money on this accident too. Turns out he didn't have a lot of gold. We had to outfit people with mules, pickaxes. Shit's way expensive.

We had to take that old map and then like burn it around the edges to make it look really old. It's near coffee all over it. So I apologize to all of you. But the podcast right now, okay? Yeah. Yeah. It turns out Crillie's gold is inside all of us. I give it on.

You shouldn't have eaten for this gold. We thought it was gelt. We thought it was chocolate. It's really way heavy. Yeah, it's not good for you to eat. So we should, we should, we should go past that probably. TMI. Before the flop-ass, I've been damn deploy.

I'm still steward Wellington. And I am as ashamed as can be to admit I'm Ellie Caelan. Tonight everyone. So I'd say like 97% maybe 100% what do you think? Of what? His podcast. His what? He's awesome. maybe 100% what do you think of what his podcast is what is awesome It's comedy dynasty his father was in comedy he was in comedy and his daughter's in comedy like the show dynasty

It's it's note It's worth listen wait wait what was that show about comedy dynasty the man chew dynasty Worthless wait, what was that show about? It was about a comedy dynasty, the Manchu dynasty. Comedy dinosaurs. Yeah, that was the show dinosaurs. False comedy. Let's do this. What are we doing?
