The Flop House - The Flop House: Episode #121 - The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure

Episode Date: February 23, 2013

Dan's surgery kept him from writing up detailed show notes, which is lame, we know. But come on. Between that and Oogieloves, hasn't he suffered enough?

On this episode we discuss God help us, the O house, I'm Dan McCoy. Co-starring Stuart Wellington. And with Elliot Kaelin as himself. That's pretty good guys, I like it, I like the new direction we're taking. Jazz. I don't. I had the new direction we're taking jazz I had some jazz in the opening quick pull-up Wikipedia. I mean it is. I don't know what don't type in jazz type of newbie loves I thought you were saying that is like the new title of our show jazz

The musical form jazz I thought yeah, this is now the show jazz Stewart plays detective Mike jazz New Orleans detective. That was maybe a jagged spin off. No, no. I'm his sidekick. Yeah, it's Jags Younger brother He's a New Orleans detective. I'm his sidekick. He's Mo Gadget And you're the chief I like it Then your ghost asked me to hand in my badge every episode. Somehow when you're the ghost, but you still have the same job. So it might be hard to tell from that introduction, but we're broken men. We are a podcast that washes bad movies and then discusses them. And tonight.

Oh, brother. Oh, we got a baddie for you. So what you should do is from the yard. Mother's knock up your daughters. Because watch out. What? You're going to have to repopulate the earth after this one. We watched a little film.

And when we say little, we need it because it was a box office box. But strangely huge film and strangely overdone movie it's also tiny it's shadow looms over many many lesser shitty movies oh it looms over over human civilization yeah something something slouching towards uh ugi loves there's a movie called uglums the big balloon adventure right in the big what was it housecat is is trying to stop us or it's called the uglums in the big balloon adventure the big balloon adventure now that points up something

interesting about this movie which was when it was first being advertised I assumed that the uglums was something that that existed sure that people knew about that I didn't know about because I make childless Ulyas was something that existed. That existed. Sure. That people knew about, that I didn't know about because I am a childless man, but this was surely a... Well, it would be weird for you to know about it. Popular. For a man with a grown man with no children to know, children's television characters would be creepy.

But I assumed that, okay, this is something that I don't get, but it has a huge falling of not being children. That's why I'm not being children. That's why they made a movie. That's why you, why the title is... I got blue's clues sort of thing. Yeah, that's why the title is not, well that's also the slogan for jazz is real life blues clues. Real life blues clues.

Because you solve the crimes by, you play your magic saxophone and it highlights the clues. Yeah, but I assumed that this was a new thing, because it wasn't called, say, introducing the Oogie Love. It's not called the Oogie Loves, it's not called the big balloon adventure, it's called the Oogie Loves in the big balloon adventure. So you assume? Your favorite star, the Oogie Love, the final. It's a continuation.

They know the Oogie Loves and they are demanding, they begin an adventure of some kind. Is that an adventure? Well, the thing is, is it a big adventure with balloons, or is it an adventure involving big balloons? Well, luckily the movie answers that question. The balloons are normal. I gotta say, before I saw this movie, another reception,

the Uy loves to get in a big, hot air balloon and go some points. No, but they do not. No, they do not. Not even close. It's not, right? Yellow are healing balloons. No, the closest they get is when they get into that flying some rarrow powered by the power of dance

They're Christian Lloyd and Jamie and Jamie Presley own Of course, I had to get in it That was the only way they could cross the weird field that they couldn't walk around Or ride bicycles because that shitty llama posted those songs the fucking dick that showed up at the party at the end Who invited it? Yeah, who invited this llama that was getting away with the balloons? Maybe any of the you know, they might not like it, but they were respected And adherence to park rules to the rules the discipline right now invited this llama that was getting away with the balloons. Maybe they might not like it, but they respect it. And it adherents to park rules.

To the rules, the discipline. Right now, there are listeners across America saying, the fluff house is descended into madness. They are right. They're talking about the nearest chibberish. The surely does not make any sense. But I think we need to talk about the plot. Well, first, the first thing to know

is your assumption that the UG loves were a thing that existed and they made a movie out of it was wrong. This is a movie made by some of the people involved with the Americanized version of the Teletubbies. And I assume from putting that show out, they realize the lesson that kids will watch any shit as long as it's brightly colored and has made upwards in it.

So, let's, hey, let's go through the movie and introduce everybody to the Ugi loves because nobody saw this film. I was watching this movie. It's gonna be the most concise description of this plot that exists, right? Well, I'll see if I can stretch it out. Okay, so the Oogie loves the introduces by the beginning by just talking to the audience. Okay. They are three horrific, costume characters named Gooby, Zuzi, and Tufi.

Imagine the garbage-pale kids cross with Barney. Yeah, I think that's a good way to think about it. Now that each have their particular personality, Gooby is into science. He has glasses. He keeps talking about how things are science-tastic. Science-tastic. Zoosie can speak any language, but her catchphrase is sparkly-licious, I think. Yeah, and she's feminine, right?

And she's a girl. Yeah, it's a girl. It's feminine. And they're sparkly-licious I think yeah, and she's but it's feminine right she's a girl. Yeah, it's a girl It's like and there's sparkly-licious And then there's gratitude there's sparkly-licious and then there's toofy the awesome party guy Steward of the group very much the steward of the steward and his thing is that his pants fall down all the time So also the steward and he likes that fun all the time comes and says, I'm toofy. And I like to have fun anyway. I can. Or something like that, which is creepy. No holds barred. You're in toofy's world now. There's no safe word here. Are they in a band? Yes. They are. And they're the U.E. loves. They never quite explain what an U.E. love is. Yeah.

They are them. At the beginning of the movie, they explain so much about the ugliv except for what ugliv is and why. But they also tell you the audience, anytime you see what is it like a bird flies a bunch of butterflies fly across the screen, it means get up and dance with us and when a bunch of turtles crawl across the screen it means it's a fox back down sit down see rest down the uglos are in charge now uh... anyway but what we have to explain that this was supposed to be the big in the innovation of the uglos is you would show it in the theater

and it would be interactive and according to a capidia the creator of the movie was inspired by going to see one of the media movies in the theater and noticing that black audiences shouted back at the screen. And thought, if only I could harness this racist observation for kids, that's what Wikipedia says. So at those moments, kids are supposed to get up,

sing along, dance. It's not just a movie, it's an interactive experience in that you can do, but in the only way that every movie is, because you could do this during any movies. But also, so do you think we missed out on anything by not watching it in its intended setting? I do a little, a little, a little screaming thing.

We did at take turns taking part with the dancing and the singing. I got to admit, it didn't make the movie better, but it did help drive me to madness quicker. I want to say that again, again, as a childless man, perhaps I'm misunderstanding something, but it seems to me that parents take their kids to the movies. To shut them up. As a respite from this sort of behavior. Not to encourage them to be loud and dance around. But again, I'm not even saying anything.

No, it's a Tucker amount. So you can get them to bed quicker, right? Yeah, so that you can have a man to dance around. It's faster than Sneakets and Whiskey in their milkshakes or whatever, right? Yeah, so that you can have a man to sleep. It's faster than sneakets of whiskey in their milkshakes or whatever kids drink. Yeah, yogurt. Yeah, they're seeing a whiskey in their goger. Just taking a syringe full of whiskey

and just injecting it into their goger tube. Yeah. So let's go through the plot, shall we? What there is of it? So the oogie loves wake up. That's a big part of that. It takes about 28 minutes. They sing about it and they're woken up by their friend Wendy the window who is a talking window with a face on the

southern accent. Well, you're a zombie sort of fellow. She's very much a zombie. It's a lady zombie, but she's a window and she has none of the verb and jaw to be even charmed that John B has. And John B and let's's, and John B, this is, let's remember in real life, director of Twin Citters. Yeah. So he's a great guy, and we love him. So they realize, with the window, we, there's never

no one. Yeah, she has never worked with the Barbarian brothers. Shluffy, their friend who's a pillow, who still asleep, it's his birthday. And they're gonna plan a surprise party. His pillow has a birthday birthday let's back up the pillow is having a birthday that's a party for this

pillow no okay so the friend and their friend J Edgar who is a vacuum cleaner oh that makes sense get it J Edgar Hoover it's kind of joke kids shouldn't get because they should have no knowledge of America's crime fighting and civil rights uh intrusion past uh he's coming along to help them didn't get because they should have no knowledge of America's crime fighting and civil rights intrusion past. He's coming along to help them create a surprise party for this pillow.

And he's sort of an ineffectual buffoon of a vacuum cleaner. Now he has glasses also but he's not smart and I believe he's coded as Jewish because he's very high strung and nervy and he fucks up instantly by letting go of the five magic balloons that they were gonna give to Schluffy. That's the perfect gift for a pillow, that's the best. Pillo's love balloons, the more magic, the better. I wasn't quite sure what happened. It seemed that maybe the vacuum cleaner was alarmed

by the singing mice that he encountered on the road. A peacock please. While he was trying to go up some steps. And this is, and- Already a problem for a vacuum cleaner was alarmed by the singing might said there's a repeat hot will go up some steps and this is and already a problem for a vacuum clean and the vaguely was singing and dancing at the same time uh... that's let's lose of these five golden magic ball and they fly to all ends of lovey loveville the place that they live uh... he comes by oh no my balloons we only have two hours or whatever four four hours until Schluppy wakes up or something

Schluppy sorry And so they have to go all over lovey loveville to find the magic balloons 20 minutes later because they have to like They dance and then do this word breakfast song About that already that they have to change their clothes and that although they they this is good screenwriting in act one they lay the seed that two fees pants are gonna fall down by having say to be put on a belt and he goes i hate belts it's all the inside of way more badass but also uh... uh... he built dude maro

but then and i get that and they also lady uglgulov says, hey. Lady Ugulov, I don't know where you're going. Her name is Susie or something. She says, whatever is pants falls down, you have to say this stupid line about that. You yell goofy, too, too, you pull up your pants. It's terrible. So we're shadowing an entire day of pants falling down.

So they've got no time to lose to get these balloons. But first, they've got to eat breakfast, which means the vacuum cleaner is going to sing them a long song about pineapple pancakes. And they're just throwing pancakes around, pancakes are flying. Whitney, the window says they're the best pancakes in the world, which doesn't quite make sense. No, how is a window eating pancakes? There's also, it's implied there's some kind of flirtation between the vacuum cleaner in the window which is weird yeah

a vacuum cleaner has a crush on a window as as Dan said while we're watching it hold on a second so that vacuum cleaner wants to fuck that window now also i'm i'm i'm i said this to you like i'm mystified by a world in which some in-handed objects are alive but some aren't. What's kind of? So for some reason, the vacuum cleaner is tooling around and has friends and feelings, but I was just like, well, goofy and Pluto, you mean? And Oh, oh, he is in a different universe, plays by different rules. But how do you know that?

I'm saying it's inanimate objects. But it's just like in stand by me, they talk about goofy and Pluto. They're both dogs, but one of them can talk and wears clothes and the other is just a dog that is a pet. But at least with one step further along the evolution area trail. I assume that Pluto had a lobotomy. So you're saying at one point, there was a mutation in a vacuum cleaner

that made it sent you? Yeah, but at a window, yeah. All right, sure. Maybe radiation caused it, I don't know. Okay, maybe it was I don't know. Okay. Maybe you're spitting by radioactive humans. In the game, the proportionate nervousness and the arms of a human. Now, they sing a song. There are a lot of songs in this movie. We just watched the movie literally 10 minutes ago. I can't remember a single one. No. Except then I'm gonna try it like,

it's as one of you guys mentioned during the movie It's like when I make up a song on the top of the top of my head for this show, but worse. Yeah, cuz it'll be like Milkshakes making milkshakes. Moo, Moo milkshakes having some milkshakes. Like that's a song they would do in it Yeah, this is not like say the Muppet movie with beautiful songs by Paul Williams. No, Paul Williams was not involved in this This was yeah, they- No Williams is just the wrong. No Williams is wrote these songs, not even Venus Williams, not even Billy D Williams.

They tossed 25 cents in a vagrant and I'm like, alright, now it's something about pancakes. Rarararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararararar pancakes upside down Bon Appetit pancakes great great Here's some more paint thinner Right us a song about a singing flying some braille Okay, so I'll just quickly go through the people they have the the trials they have to go through to get these balloons sure Herkulean tasks the five Labors of the Ugi loves Now hercules tasks were to get over the guilt from murdering his family, right? So I assume the Ugi loves did the same. Very similar.

Okay. That's why they feel so, that why they have to throw a great party for their pillow friend is that they, I don't know, cut his arms off or something. Yes, the pillow. More than anything seems like, yeah, like someone. He's suffering from some kind of mental trauma.

Or he's like a veteran who lost his limbs. Like, there's something really, later they're carrying the pillow around at the party and it's really creepy. Yeah, any creature that Number one doesn't talk in a comfortable way number two has no limbs. It's going to read on screen as someone who's had like maybe like a terrible car accident It's terrible catastrophe as before because because Shluffy sounds like this It's like if you know kind of like Gizmo, but not intelligible in any way.

So, okay, here they have to go through these different trials. First, the first Golden Moon's on top of a tree. In the tree is a giant tea kettle tree house. They call it a tree kettle. They meet a girl wearing surprisingly tight clothes for a kid's movie who's obsessed with squares. Meanwhile, her aunt Doddy is obsessed with dots. Played by Chlorous Leachman.

Played by Chlorous Leachman, Academy Award is obsessed with Dots, Flores Leachman. Played by Clores Leachman, Academy Award, Nemi winner, Clores Leachman. They sing a song about Dots and they dance about Dots, and then they use a ladder to climb up the tree and get the balloon. Okay, great, they got one balloon. And then we find out, that's when we find out that the magic balloons grow faces when you grab them

and then do magic shit like float you down. Float you down or just go like hey you can do it well and at the end with there just so we don't forget we should say at the end the balloons demand kisses from the audience to cut after all the balloons are caught they start floating away again and they demand kisses from the audience and they say love is the most powerful thing. More kisses. So you're supposed to blow kisses at them. It's super creepy. These balloons are the creepiest thing.

But that's jumping ahead. So they've got one balloon. The next one they find out is attached to the root, you know, is a, has been caught on a cow at Marvin Milkshake's Milkshake Parallel. Now, Marvin Milkshake, of course. That's a good one. Now, who would you cast to play a goofy,

like Milkshake, Diner-owning, Hepcat? Probably Christopher Lloyd. No, wrong. Probably, uh, Carriel was. No, he comes up later. Probably Tony Braxton.

No, if you're thinking, we're sort of tough Italian, maybe. If you're thinking a Bronx tale writer, star, Chaz Pomatari, then yes. Chaz Pomatari plays Marvin Milksaz Pomatari plays Marvin Milk Shake. And I'll give you this. They're a bunch of like stars and quotes in this movie. They give it, they're all,

none of them phonan what they're doing. They totally give it all the energy they can. I mean, I think they sized up this movie and they're like, the only way this is gonna work is if we totally commit to it. And they were wrong But not because of what they did they were wrong because the movie was never going to work Yeah, but it wasn't their fault now they sing a song about milkshakes They have to win a milkshake drinking contest to get the balloon and it turns out their fish

Ruffy who are forgot to mention they bring with them and it's like why is cracking fish? He's the one was like hey forget about this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I kind of say hey milkshakes. Oh He's the Benjamin J Grim of the group if you will you know the and who's like, hey, forget about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That kind of stagged milkshakes. Oh, he's the Benjamin J. Grimm of the group, if you will. You know, and there's a part, he goes, milkshakes, I'd rather drink saltwater. Wait, I already do. I'm a fish. A lot of jokes in quotes.

In a fish bowl, saltwater, really? Yeah, at least a saltwater fish, you know. You know, little fish bowl. Well, I mean, they have a special season like filtration system. They should. And he's drinking, but look, the fish is a fish that plays by his own rules. Now, the fish drinks the milkshake.

They get it. And Marvin, Marvin milkshake. Marvin milkshake. Marvin milkshake does a lot of this. He's like, Hey, glad you got your balloon back. Oh, yeah, which I want to believe I want to believe that's what Chez Pomegranate brought to the rolls that he says, ooh, a lot. And there's a great scene. Let me mention also that the cook who makes the milkshakes at this. Potentially his wife. Potentially his wife is this horrifically realistic cow puppet with like rhinestone glasses

on. And this is a diner full of extras that are dancing along and looking both happy in the little sahyad. Oh, this rivals the McDonald's dance scene from Mac and me for kids who are sadly giving it they're all in a crappy dance number. Okay, they got the second balloon. What's up next?

Well, the neck, oh, by the way, they're finding out where the balloons are located because Wendy Window, who can see all because I guess she has like drones everywhere, is showing it to J. Edgar, who then talks to them on walkie talkies. So the next one is caught on an airplane at the airport, which belongs to Rosalie Rosebud,

played by Tony Braxton, who is a singer about to go on a world tour, who also is allergic to roses, but loves them, and sings a song about how she has a cough all the time. The things we love kill us with, don't we, don't we? It's also like, it seems to be an instructional song for kids, telling them that when they're sick, they should cough, which is weird, because I feel like that's an involuntary thing that happens.

No, kids, after you forget, because you were so young, but you had to learn that. Oh, really? Yeah. You would just reach into your mouth and pull out hair balls and things. You had to learn how to cough. My head would inflate from all this now. Yeah. I'm gonna just open it out. And it's a nice slow number because at this point,

the kids are probably all excited. They need to chill out. They need a slow jam. Yeah, they need a slow R&B jam. And they get the last balloon. They float up to wherever. Yeah, it's on. They use a trampoline or something.

I think one of them, the science guy, makes a trampoline on her. His name is, his name is Gooby. Gooby, yeah. He makes a weird trampoline. Yeah. And he jumps up to where the balloon is. You maybe confused. Gooby is not a giant imaginary teddy bear.

This is not that Gooby. This is the American Gooby. It's different Gooby. It's not Robbie Coltrane. This is not, that's, that's, that's, That's the signature role. That's the first 16 Gooby. And this is like a what if gooby. What if gooby was Newglobe? Well, they've got three of the balloons. They're almost done, right?

Well, looks like they've got to get the most disturbing of the balloons. That's right. It's attached to the top of the truck of Bobbi Wobbly. Or Bobby Wobbly. Thank you. Play, sorry, play play by carry always and he's a cowboy who owns a bubble business and also walks with a wobble because he's a saying truck I guess he's shipping bubbles around I think the bubble business in the truck and carry always this is there's a point where a smile becomes a grimace, he has a rictus on his face. And it's this is if it's possible to commit too much to a role in the answer is yes. Yes, and it's Bobby Wavley's Exhibit A.

It's though it's almost the horror of Jim Carrey's Fire Martial Bill character. Yeah. And so it's that level. But it's like he is so much more frightening than like Heath Ledger is as the Joker or like Pennywise the clown or Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth like there's something so much more frightening about Bobby Wauvely and you're right it is very fun virtual bill and it's like it really cemented carry always I always thought of him as the poor man's about camera but now he's also the poor man Jim Carrey and there's something about his crazy over-the-top wobbling smile performance

when it's next to the emotionless, ugi loves characters. Yeah, we have to say that these are, these are giant full-body suit puppets, but. They're very plush. They're like giant muppets, but shitty. The mouth barely moves. The eyes.

And the eyes, and- They just look side to side. Yeah. And occasionally, occasionally there's a, like's a slight flutter of their eyelids, like the synapses are exploding somewhere deep within their cushiony heads. So, I mean, just imagine the most irritating voices you can imagine paired with the least expression

giving faces. Even more irritating than my voice, coming out of them. Yeah. A voice that has been described as do she on the A.B. Club I was described as do she my voice was described as shitty let's get it straight okay these are my press clefings okay so they dance with Bobby wobbly I assume fearing for their lives the entire time and about how great it is to wobble then they convince a bird to fly up and get the balloon for them. And there's something kind of eerie seeing normal humans interacting with the uglives, because you're nervous that they might accidentally, like these uglives that are much larger

than a normal human. They're very big, especially since there's supposed to be kids, I assume. That they would, that they're like, childlike brains mixed with their larger than human bodies might accidentally crush one of these poor, chlorosolete men. Well, they're basically lenient of mice and mice. Yeah. Excuse me. They don't know their own strength.

They might crush somebody. Or trip, because they don't seem that agile. No, they dance a lot. They are always falling down. Uh-huh. Dance, in quotation marks a lot. He loves giving me hiccups. He loves to destroy that.

He's got a hiccups now. Yeah, my too much fizzy lifting drink and too much oozy, oozy loves. Should I take over the thing or? No, no, no, there's only one balloon left to go. All right. So hang on, Shlupi. So Lupi hang on. I mean, my mom, Shlupi is threatening to wake up at any moment and then doesn't.

Shlupi, comato Shlupi. Shlupi. For Shlupi, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Why would it doesn't. Shlupy, comato Shlupy. Shlupy. For Shlupy, yeah. With an F. Why would you name a pillow Shlupy? It makes no sense. It's for brain damage, quadriplegic Shlupy is threatening to wake up at any moment and have his per se ruined.

His surprise ruined because he hasn't had five magic talking balloons. Yep. Now. A continuation of Metallica's one. Yep. Now, the continuation of Metallica's one. Yep. So they have to get to a windmill to get the last balloon, but a shitty llama won't let them ride their bikes or run on the grass.

That sounds crazy when you say. So it's the only way to get across is to flag down a giant floating Sombrero, owned by Lola and Lero sombrero uh... by lowla and lero sombrero played by jamey pressley and chris for Lloyd jamey pressley's like a climax jamey pressley does almost all the talking and chris for Lloyd communicates through his bongo drums

and they dance because that dancing is how the sombrero is powered and they go and get it like oh no they hit the it they get to the windmill then they have to play a flute to make a tulip grow so they can climb to the top so they can use the fish to finally grab the balloon. So this, you're making this sound like it's some sort of computer game. Like, use fish on windmill. Yes, you throw the fish and it gets the balloon.

It goes off of the windmill. They got all the balloons. Great. They're driving back. Uh oh, I don't remember why, but the balloons get loose. They float away. The power of kisses brings them back. Of course.

And then they go and they present Shloofy with his birthday party. Everybody said the balloon sing a very creepy song. Very creepy song. And all the characters we've seen through Wendy the window express their birthday wishes to Schluffy by spraying stuff on them. They spray rose petals or feathers or dots or whatever. They're obsessed with threat the film. Yeah this parade of Harvey Comics

caricatures and now they and the ugliv sing a song and dance a dance that goes on for like an hour And the audience is multiple times in Peeching the audience imploring them to To give it to take part and to agree that this is a great move Yeah, and to to lose themselves to the magic and the music and the passion and love the movie lose yourself in the music The moment yeah, you own it you've never music the moment. Yeah, you own it. You've never let it go. Yeah.

Eight mile. Oogie loves. Now, the audience is invited to take part in the dance. The audience declines. The invitation. And then the movie is over. And we're all poorer for it. We are all 97 minutes.

No, it was 87 minutes. Thank you. Poor for it. So this was a tightly plated film. Is what you're saying? What I'm saying is that even 87 minutes, Thank you. Poor for it. So this was a tightly plighted film, is what you're saying. What I'm saying is that even 87 minutes, roughly 95% of this filler. I mean, this movie tears me in a certain way, because I feel like if it had worked, it would have been a perfectly fine thing for very young children.

Yeah, sure. This would be a great movie for three or two-year-olds if it wasn't terrible. Yeah, who need to jump around and scream shit and that's entertainment for them. But it is so insane and so disjointed. Well, and it's so dumb and like, I mean, kid dumb is one thing, like kids can enjoy dumb stuff, but I can see a kid just finding this stupid, you know.

I mean, and everything that's in it is so half-assed. I mean, we talked about how they give the characters their things, which is one of them scientific, one of them is a party animal and one is a girl. Basically. I mean, she can speak any language, including animal tones. She speaks a lot of animal languages. But none of those things like really come into play. She speaks animal all the time. She speaks to that two-can puffin. A puffin, she speaks to a puffin, she speaks to a cow, she speaks to a lobster. The only special on the street. Okay, and the science guy is a science constantly. And the party animal is kind of a goof off,

and his pants fall down. Yeah, he's cool but rude. And he's very rude and very cool. Just like Raphael. If Raphael and Michelangelo had some kind of a turtle baby, and instead of a turtle, it was New Year's Eve, it'd be him. And they do think that's what the New Year's Eve came from as they are the in-bred children of Ninja Turtles.

That's why this is our problem. It's only possible. I mean, especially when you consider the Ninja Turtles, I'm assuming are all male. Yes. I would be surprised if it turned out Donatello was passing. It was actually a moment all this time. I do appreciate a world where all the people of the world, whether they be uglos or vacuum cleaners or pillows or humans can come together and have a party.

Yeah. And whatever other hand puppets you can find around the workshop. Yeah, because they're all just all the animals you've seen in the movie. Hey, you want some raccoons with rubber gloves on? We got like 10 of them. Yeah. Here's some mice that are doing something. Now, it is a half-assed movie though. Like the songs sound like they are written in about 10 minutes.

All of them. There are a lot of crappy effects. There's one part that where Dan pointed out we're watching, they very clearly looped some footage. Well, the Ulyas loves are waiting for something to happen. As if they didn't have enough foot. They didn't have three more seconds on them just standing there. Yeah, they couldn't just be like,

all right, we need to run this, you know, for another 30 seconds. We just need a shot of the three of you in costume standing in one place. They looped to the same like 1.5 seconds of them standing around. 30 seconds, we just need a shot of the three of you in costume standing in one place. They loop to the same like 1.5 seconds of them standing around over and over again waiting for the sombrero to land. Let's just say also the choreography is like Lester. This is hardly a Bob Fossy film. I mean, if I didn't know better, I would have assumed that like a small troop who put on

this show at nursery schools or whatever that got one or two good receptions were like, oh my God. This would be great if we could translate this into an hour and 27 minute long feature film. It certainly doesn't look like a movie that costs $20 million, which apparently it did. I mean, most of that probably went to Keryl West. There's no price high enough to get him to play Bobby Wobbly. Was that it? Yeah, it's not

Bob Lee. Bob Lee Wobbly. No, it's Bobby. Bob Lee Wobby. Okay, wait. And his two-can character. So, Huffin. Her name was Penelope. It's not it's not a two-can. No, it's not a two-can. So I guess what we're saying is this is a good movie for driving someone crazy. Like it we're saying is this is a good movie for driving someone crazy Like it felt at times like this is a movie that either I like it opens without credits Yeah, there's no there's nothing you just throw into it. It's like this is a movie that was designed to play to Inter to prisoners of war while you're interrogating them or it's a movie that like if I certainly the film quality is no indicator that you're sitting down to watch a major motion half way through the movie if I had suddenly woken up in a hospital bed it is very well lit if I had suddenly it has it has it has the

quality I like in my soft core pornography and that it's well lit and then you can see everything the if I had halfway through the movie, suddenly woken up in a hospital bed with a fractured skull and just blood loss, and they were like, you were muttering something about oogi wa? I'd be like, yeah, that makes sense. I was muttering oogi love. I was muttering oogi love, but I guess I hallucinated the whole thing.

I was muttering oogi loves it, by the way, get Hollywood on the phone. Tell them never to make this. Ha! Ha! I feel like it's rarely seen movie where you're like, I wish I could travel back in time to stop this from happening, but basically this and Cannibal Hall. You would have had to go back to 2009 because this movie sat on the shelf for four years because they were trying to patent its shittiness. They're trying to patent the idea of interactivity.

When we, and we all know that existed already in that movie that Christopher Lloyd, I think, was also in, where you made the decisions over what the main character was going to do. It was called Mr. Robot or something. Do you guys not remember that? Yeah, you figure it out. You just boarded it into tears with your story, Dork. This is if there was a movie where you chose which way the story or whatever with a remote and they advertised it multiple times at movie theaters I went to as a kid and it never arrived. I'm gonna look this up while we're talking. Okay, well realize while I lay it's using the internet

No, they want a movie that it tells them a story and they can forget about their life I Think that because we are talking about it. I was called Mr. Payback. We're talking, and that's how it's going. Because we were talking about a movie for very small children. There's not actually a lot of depth we can get into. I think we should move on.

Sure, good, good movie. Let's go on. I'll do it with that. I think it's a hard movie to describe and go over. Final judgment. When you're not watching it with us. Because it's so stupid everything that happens is arbitrary yeah

uh... is this a good bad movie a bad bad movie or movie like Stewart would you have to say for yourself my review is based on whether or not i think any human beings uh... that are i mean maybe a little kid would like it but i would say it's a bad bad movie for anybody but the little list of children. Yeah if you are of an age when you can operate under your own body parts I guess then this movie is too young is too young for you. Yeah I would say it's a bad bad movie with a caveat that if you were if you were drunk or stoned this is probably exactly what you want to watch. Yeah if you're're a stone, do you might really enjoy this? I think if you are

stoneed or one-years-old, you would like this. Otherwise, it will be excruciating. Put it on the VHS tape. Not an evenie. Put it out in VHS. If you are stoneed or one, this is the movie theater. Or a stone one-year-old. If you are high and you and your one-year-old want a bond, put on the Ulyles movie. You can dance and sing to your heart's content. And yes, the movie I a stone one year old. If you're high and you and your one year old want a bond, put on the U.S. movie, you can dance and sing to your heart's content. And yes, the movie I was thinking of was called Mr. Payback. There you go. Starring Christoph Lloyd. So do we all agree bad, bad movie or Stuart? I know when you lay down and despair during the movie on the floor, that's because you like it. Face down on the floor. Never's because you like to face down. Face down on the floor.

Never have I facing away from the screen, might I add? It was not just that the movie was bad, but it was telling me I had to do things. Yes, one thing to let a bad movie just watch over you. I'm not going to throw you my kisses. You have not earned that movie. So before we get into other plugs, I'd like to quickly plug something on behalf of two out of three of the flop house wives.

They got a rush out. Oh God. That was a fucking mess. What a tragedy. Now what do we do? Should we plug our

network? Yeah, I think we should. Dan. I've got a few all things comedy plugs. R.E. Schaffer's Comedy Special Passive Progressive is available at shill.com slash R.E. Schaffer for $5 under the self-distributed model that is so popular among comedians these days. And you got the bitter Buddha, a film starring Eddie Peppetone, is coming to theaters and video on demand on February 19th, featuring many of Eddie Peppetone's friends, like Pat and Oswald, Sarah Silverman and Zach Galvanakis.

You can find the trailer for the bitter Buddha on YouTube. So those are a few plugs on behalf of our friends over on the video on demand, so you can just watch it at home Yep, you don't even have to get dressed up nice. Yeah, yeah, you don't have to put on a texito like you normally would see The video is to work often does yeah, well the fuck not so now what do we do? He's in his own home Now what happens next Dan? We interrupt you some more do we have to watch the who he loves again? Because I'd say no I think it's time for us to go on a big balloon adventure to letters. This is where we talk About letters that we received the flop-ass movie mailbag if you will letter time at the flop house Letter time with all of us. It's your friends Stuart, Elliot and Dan not real friends of yours You just listen to us talk about movies pretend it's your friends, Stuart, Elliot and Dan. Not real friends of yours.

You just listen to us talk about movies, pretend we're your friends, whatever. It doesn't matter. But we're great guys, except when we belittle you, the listener, which was right now. It's one of the three different ways. It's really one of the three different ways our fans can, and let us know how they feel about our show.

One is on our Facebook page, one page with letters, join the Facebook page. Joining about us or other bad movie podcasts on the Young and AV clubs comments. So if you've heard about that, there's three ways to get in touch with us. One Facebook page, that's where you go if it's a positive comment. Two letters that can go either way and three AV club comments section, that's if you hate us. So, uh... Letter time, it's the letters for you and for you and for you and for you and for you and for you letters ugi loves addition this letters title seriously bros. Let's get serious. It's from

But McFarterson. I think that's probably hard to get serious when that's the guy you're getting the letter from Hey, dude, I'm a big fan of your podcast. It's funny and shit. Dan McCoy is a pretty cool pervazoid who loves boobs, who just rad. And Stuart, is that right this one I was drawing? But I've got a real question for you guys. So, and nothing for me. No description for me.

I've got, is your a dweeb. I've got a real question for you guys. What's up with Elliot? Uh-oh. He tells hundreds of terrible jokes all the time He's a ripper. It works well once an episode But how do you guys keep from sneaking into the locker room during classes breaking into his locker and snapping his glasses? You know, we're not kids, right?

Because he got your own jobs Is it because he broke both he broke both his legs climbing a mountain does he have imminent death syndrome? Does he always buy the Popeyes because if I have have to hear him bash Dan's terrible joke telling abilities, before immediately spinning around and telling terrible jokes one more time, I will lose my shit violently in my pants. Wow. I mean, it's hard for me to... Sounds like his ancestors job was losing their shit in their pants. Yeah, it's son of Parker. I mean, right now the stakes are very low for me to stop making fun of dantelling jokes since all that's gonna happen is but Macfarger

since it's gonna poop in his own pants. So I think I'm just gonna keep going until you give me a better offer. Do not appreciate how I'm the neg, I'm criticized in that email. Yeah, well. At least attack my songs. I know they're not very good.

It's a technique called nagging. You use one thing for a girl. Well, now I'm really interested in it. Yeah, maybe just trying to draw your attention. Consider it, I learn more about this McFarters and Fellow. Next email is titled Secret Alliance. It's from Matt Lasting with Hell. My comment. Dear Elliot Dan and Stuart, two of you Next email is titled Secret Alliance. It's from Matt Lasting with Hell.

Mike Kerman. Dear Elliot Dan and Stuart, two of you have secretly been in Alliance to remove the third from the podcast. Please synchronously reveal to the third that he has been voted off the podcast. So that's from Matt. Stuart. Matt.

It seems pretty clear. I mean, we don't bring anyone else, I mean, we're in coach with Al Madgeical, right? Yeah, Al Madgeical, yeah, he's gonna take over my spot. And ring this new character to the house owl. Woohoo! Yeah, I got some other owns on the fire. I got some TV I wanna catch up on.

It's good, nothing good. It's going on on good wife. It's just Al has what we call Stark-Wallety. Yeah. Wow, wow. No, he brings name value. Stark quality. That's what it's called, right? SQ, yeah.

Well Stewart, this isn't the way we want you to. Is this my last one? Or is this, unfortunately, this is time for your review. Let's take a look at how you've been doing so far this year. Can I tell you before we watch you, he loves. Oh, no. So let's take a look. On a scale from one to ten. How would you rate

yourself in the area of movie riffing? Probably a two. No, I think you get at least a three. Okay, now in the area of recommending the same movies over and over again, one to ten. I'd probably only say a one. I don't do that very often. Ten plus. Okay, now, boob appreciation from one to ten. I'd probably say a negative four actually a negative seven. Oh wow. You are gay Okay, well you guys want to go on a date sure well you're back in the group. That's all we wanted We're both Polyamory apparently. Hey, look, it's the 21st century.

Time to get with it. We're all going to be married in space someday. It's like an Alan Moore comic book. Yeah. Yeah. Here's your space ring. Yep. We're just like Alan Quaterman and Meena Marie and Orlando having a three-part relationship.

Just like the original author's intended Maybe Virginia wolf intended this is titled metal up your ass Hey, oh the original title of the first Metallica album from Eric last name withheld He says dear flappers. I just listened to the rocket Vagus podcast and enjoyed hearing all its two references to the 80s output of Metallica Along with his desire to have heard Motorhead's classic Ace of Spades sung by the stars of Hollywood. No, I didn't want them to sing it I wanted Motorhead that wouldn't let me to sing it. He's a star of Hollywood continue. Before I'll allow it Before I thought Elliott was an annoying noid all the life What is what you call to make just a selection of Elliot Bashing?

He's been slowly working on this one. But now, after seeing his closet metalhead come out, I feel have an honest kinship with him. Oh, thank you. What are, in order, Elliot's five favorite metal albums from the 80s? You can count 1990s, as part of the decade, if you want to squeeze either Megadeth's high point for me at least, Rust and Peace, or Slayer seasons of the abyss onto your list

sincerely ariks last name without well ariks that's an interesting question uh... not having any of the top of my head i'll just say of the top of my head we got to have kill them all by metallica you got to write the lightning by metallica uh... think maybe power slave iron maiden

i think that might be ninety's dude now that No, that's 80s, I think. And... Well, though I do remember my mom playing Rime of the Ancient Mariner for me. Mm-hmm. And you were just a wee lad. Yeah. And let's say the 80s songs that are on Megadeth's greatest hits

album with some of their 90s songs sprinkled in there. Sure, and probably, and you're missing batteries under the sign of the black mark, of course. And of course, since we've said 80s, it outlaws one of my other favorites, which is Jews Prized Live album unleashed in the East. Okay. So we got a bunch. And it was the fluff house metal.

Fluff house metal mail bag. Thanks, Eric, for any other metal questions, for me or Stuart, just write in. Dan will answer questions about 80s pop hits. I mean, I've got you know, I can he's got a little bit of an edge. I can do it. Yeah, I can get punk and post punk music. There you go. Yeah.

Just on metal guy. Uh, metal guy was the name of a superhero that we briefly tried to pitch. It was when somebody, uh, when Superman was dead for a while. So we needed a guy who was kind of cool, but not as cool. So we called a metal guy metal guy and they stole the idea and made it steel. We did pitch the idea of Shaquille O'Neill being his true identity. Not the actor playing him, but the actually he is Shaquille O'Neill the basketball player. Yeah, he was much more successful in real life than he was a superhero. This next email is titled Ding Dong Gate Reveal. Revisited, sorry.

Ding Dong Gate. We have to reopen that chat. We have to swap history. New evidence comes to light, I'm sure. Let's see, so the theme of this is bashing Eliot. So how are they going to pin Ding Dong Gate on me? Okay, this email is from Jerry T. Robot. I assume the T stands for the.

It has to. And he says, Hi, Floppers. I just re-l listen to your passion play podcast and i wanted to weigh in on the raging conference that is ding dongate steward's right everybody else is done or something while it is true that george o totally bites off of prostitutes tit

also bites off a police officers i in chic literally eat that prostitute out to death and as possibly and possibly also eat the skin of a cat. Second contrary to dance recollection, George Eos penis is fully attached to his body throughout the film. I don't think that's true. Uh, although, although it is admittedly disfigured, I'm surprised such an observation. I'm surprised. I'm surprised such an observation Almost Cassaly escaped Dan's renowned purview. Well, look I you know hilarious. It's a heterosexual purview, but thank you. Dan sexuality is on an a scale. It's very fluid and yours is

extremely fluid. Yeah, it's like some amount of a cloud-barker novel. Am I right? Yeah, exactly. Boom high, gogard. And third, prior to George Eos' romantic interlude with Sylvanah, the aforementioned prostitute, he rips off his own thumb in order to free himself from his shackles. This is where I think the initial confusion began, oh so many years ago, because George Eos' body is so gross that his discarded thumb kind of looks like a little ding dong. Having hopefully shed some light on this controversy, I'd like to address a larger thematic concern.

The way your podcast generally treats Castle Freak, the flop-house treats CF as if it's some kind of horror movie, quite the contrary. Castle Freak is a heartwarming, coming-of-age story of a blind girl, the Castle Freak she loved, and the society that refused to accept their unconventional relationship. In the end, the Tishelver Freak and the father of our heroine lay dead next to each other. It becomes clear that it becomes clear to all that the only freak in the movie is society's rigid understanding of class and gender roles. Yeah, it's a real Johnny Belinda remake.

A timeless call for tolerance. Keep up with the great great work best podcast for around Jerry T. Robot and the Academy Award for best animated feature goes to Castle Freak Wait, I mean the original title was children of a lesser god to Castle Freak To the castle freak Oh, Stuart what do you have to say to that? Well, you know, I think I'm right still, but I've been wrong in the past. Flop house listeners, if anyone knows Stuart Gordon, get him to weigh in on this issue.

Mm-hmm. Have him come over to Dan's house. I will provide the beer. Elliott will provide the chicken and Dan will provide, uh, I guess a couch. Yeah, a couch or two. So, Stuart Gordon. Stuart Gordon. weigh in on Ding Dongate, which is apparently back again yeah i never love maim ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha uh... and ukele was uh... was the least successful film in history right it well

least worst opening for a movie appearing on two thousand screens or more so it top it beat delgo beat delgo former flop house fave delgo uh... and it want it according to a repeat at least the amount that it made was roughly equal to forty seven dollars per theater uh... that weekend That include popcorn sales. I have to assume it's just ticket sales.

I assume it's not popcorn- What about nacho sales? I assume no popcorn was sold. Because one, you're going to be getting up in dancing. The popcorn's going to be flying out of the box. Sure, we're choking you. Two, who's going to do the popcorn trick in an Oogula of screening?

That's disgusting. And three, I don't know. But the numbers come out too is that average number of people per screening of UG loves was about 1.8 or something like that. Less than two people. The point eight, like a kid. I think they're just averaging out.

Oh, okay. I hold the final email. So if you saw UG loves in the theater, it's very likely you were the only person in the theater or you had one other person with you. And you should count yourself kind of lucky like you are part of a elite group. Yeah. It's the way I felt as it was intended. When I felt there's a Japanese, oh no, sorry, not Japanese.

There's a Chinese movie called Devils on the Doorstep that I saw when it ran at Film Forum for like a couple of week or two, a couple of weeks. And it was an AV club article about it where they mentioned that on its American release it made $16,000. And it made me feel really special that I was part of this tiny group that saw this movie. Like a Kickstarter.

Yeah, basically it was like we were the Kickstarter for the American translation of this movie. But anyway, I realized by watching the movie the three of us with a cat in one room, this might be the largest audience that the U.S. movie ever played to. Largest single group. Alright, well let's close out the mailbag with his last email. Closing up the mailbag. Sip it tight. Let the letters out. Letters want to jump and scream

and shout. But zip up the mailbag. Keep them in. Suffocateocate them makes it easier to bury them. Mailbag murder, murder, those letters in the mailbag. The mailbag murder is starring Cario was. Sounds like a case for jazz. So, so we kill here. Cario is as the mail. As the mail jazz is on the case. Finally, mail is titled after he bought that magical

saxophone off that gypsy. This is finally email that we may not have time for anymore. Is titled Why I'm Never Listening Disturier to You? Yeah, we barely don't have time for this. No, I think we need to hear final this is a ding dong related. It's from Ryan Lassney with Hell, he writes, I was recently visiting my parents and decided to peruse through the on demand section of their cable provider. I stumbled upon one section with a complete last name with Hell, he writes, with the letter A. And as far as I could tell, it was a compendium of seen by nobody being movies from the 80s and 90s, with an odd sprinkling of significantly more well-received films, such as Capote and Field of Dreams. What caught my eye, though, was a certain film called Head of the Family Unrated Edition. I don't think I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through such a horrendous

plotting disaster that let me more confused than terrible. I don't know what is different in the unrated version, but I suspect that's something to do with the endless deluge of Jacqueline Lavelle nude scenes. I dread the day when I am startled by the sudden appearance of invisible maniac or Castle Creek in my life, regards Ryan. This is, I think, the first complaint we've had off of a recommendation. Well, um,

Stuart Irrebuttal? Well, I guess I've earned that. I have to say, if someone's complaining about endless Jacqueline Lavelle nude scenes, I don't know what's wrong Yeah, then there's there's nothing we can do to help you you you want something else than we could offer Head of the family is a totally stupid movie So you think it's not totally

Or snorrifying Unless you're totally spookified by a giant melon headed telepathic I guess enemy like a dog yeah like him he's basically a motor he's basically a cut-rate modok head of the family is for someone who who enjoys the idea that there's a giant head of the family head of the family and if you mess with the head you're dead I mean of the family. And if you mess with the head, you're dead. I mean, fucking bar is dead.

It's a bump up. It's a bump up. Yeah, mess with the head and you're dead. And Jack, when the bell takes a close off. Now, come on, guys. I know of you guys. This movie has it all. When you're visiting your parents,

you sometimes want to be taken to a different world. In this case, you want to be taken to a world where there's a head. And did you mess with said head? What happened to you? You'll end up being dead. I don't know what you're asking for. The Titular head. When our listeners are considering one of our recommendations to watch.

If you want to feel smarter, more enriched by the experience, you go with maybe an Elliott recommendation. Yeah, come on, a life of a maroon. Put on your fucking black and white movie watching glasses and watch one Elliott. He's just glasses if you need one. When you're on a plane, you watch one of fucking dance. And when you're probably pretty drunk and you're annoyed that you're staying with your parents and you're in the basement, you watch one of stewards. I think it's pretty fucking clear. I think that clear that you made a great fucking bake up some pizza rolls it's got some goger on your pizza rolls

yeah have a snack it's like a one-man party and you see an invisible head rip his thing dong off Can you see an invisible head rib is staying down off? Yeah, very Not leads us to movie recommendations and tonight I'm Head of the invisible and the invisible freak I have a castle when you're a maniac am I right? I want to believe that's a pretty good tile for movie though Yeah, I want to believe that you created that movie just by editing the other three movies together.

The same way a friend of mine years ago told me about how he edited all three Robocop movies into one movie and I thought that he had like intercut the scenes but all he did was he stopped the movies before the credits and then put up a title that said three years later. She is fucking editing job. So Robocop ends, fade out, three years later, Robocop two starts. It's good work, Vera Fields. So you're recommending what now? Oh, I don't know. He loves. You go. It's your turn. Wait, hold on. I was gonna pass it Oh, I don't know. Oogie loves. You go. It's your turn.

Wait, hold on. I was gonna pass it off. I don't really have one this week. Oh, yeah. I have one. I mean, I would recommend watching Oogie loves. It reminds me of movies with puppets. All orange, right?

So I'd recommend Meet the Feebles probably again. What's the age group for that? Meet the Feebles? Yeah, probably four or five year olds. Meet the Feebles probably again. Now what's the age group for that? Meet the Feebles? Yeah, probably four or five year olds. Meet the Feebles. I would say I recommend ages 18 to 24. And high.

So it's a strange movie where the recommended age is high. Peter Jackson's puppet based horror show. Yeah. So Meet the Feebles. Yeah, sure. I would like to recommend two movies. As I was saying to Elliot on the train, they represent the entire spectrum

of film going. On one side of this spectrum, I would like to recommend Santa Sangri by Alejandro Jordowski. Jorowski. Jorowski. The guy who did the Holy Mountain and El Toto throw an asshole. Almost directed Dune, but it didn't get off the ground.

So Stuart Objects, and we'll get into that in a second. I know I'm objecting with his movies, he's just an asshole. Is he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'd read some interviews with him. The movie's shocked. It's Vincent Gallo, times 10.

Whoa. So I would recommend him, I would recommend that movie on the one side of the film going spectrum and the other side I recommend pitch perfect. The K-Cannon written movie about Acapella singers starring what's her face from up in the air. Abigail, Anna Kendrick. Abigail Kendrick. So if you want sort of a Shorty cross between a Amadov our movie and a David Lynch film that's kind of a weird circus themed horror film Which perfect it is

And if you want a goofy light acapella comedy, it's not a lot of cute ladies that doesn't necessarily add up to any sort of plot that makes sense, but is a pleasant viewing experience. Watch a picture perfect. So that's, if you want to know what it's like to be in Dan McCoy's head all the time, watch a double feature of Santa's celebrate. It's not that it's perfect.

All the time. Who's winning? Who knows? We all know whoever wins. We lose. That's on the poster for Dan's head. For Dan's head, the movie, Dan's head of the invisible dance head of the family castle. I will recommend a movie then because it's my turn to do that. I'm going to recommend a movie. I don't think I recommended before.

It's a Milo Shformin movie called Taking Off. This is a movie that he made. It may have been his first American movie now, I think about it actually. He made it in the early 70s about two parents. Buck Henry is the dad, and I don't remember who plays the mom, whose their daughter runs off, and they try to find her, but really what they're doing is kind of

bumping up against their own inability to be stable adults and kind of to be parents who understand their kid. And in the way they kind of reach the limits of their own, what's it called, social order, I don't know how to put it. It's a very funny movie, and I'm describing it a way that's not funny. And it's intercut with scenes from what I guess

is supposed to be like an open mic audition for a number of various young people singing different songs. And among one of them is a very young Kathy Bates, who sings a song. I guess she wrote, because she's credited with it. That's a bizarre folk song that involves winged horses. But it's a very funny movie and a very touching movie. And it's a movie that kind of gets across better

than other movies I've seen, what that generation gap must have been like between the baby boomer generation and their parents. But from the point of view of the parents at a time when the audience is sympathies, we're pretty much always with the kids. And it's a really good movie. Now this movie is out of print on video and it's never been released on DVD. We can't see it.

No, wrong. Because, and I normally wouldn't recommend it this way, but the home movie is up on YouTube in one video. So if you do a YouTube search for Taking Off 1971, the entire movie is in one video in pretty good quality, actually, video wise. And that's how I watched it, because it's hard to see otherwise, unless it's playing in a Reptory Theater or you, or a Revival Theater, but it's really good, and it's a very like touching movie that's also funny and feels the closest I can think of of like a check new way of movie made in the United States.

And if it's on YouTube, we can just watch it at work or something, right? Yeah, yeah, just watch it at work on a phone. And then when you're done watching that video, those kids who had just watched the Odd Life at Timothy Green freaking out. That's a way to do it. I mean, you can watch that cat that plays the keyboard. They are so sad about Timothy Green. You can watch any video you want.

It's YouTube. But first, I'd say watch this one. And one of the things I like about it that I'll mention is there are a lot of people in it who do not have what you think of as movie faces. They have like regular real life faces. And it's a thing that movies used to have a lot more of. And now you almost never see it.

Anyone in a movie is either super beautiful or ridiculously goofy. And there's no in between. There's no like normal looking people anymore. So you can get your fill off of normal looking people in this movie. You guys, I just want to point out something that I noticed on the theme of making fun of Elliot, which appears to be the male Meg theme of this episode.

I've noticed that when I'm making a movie recommendation, it's almost impossible for me to get through it due to the interruptions. When Stuart's making a movie recommendation, there's still a fair number of interruptions. Hey, Elliott talks about a movie. Somehow, we both fall silent. I think we fell in the missing link between, well, what's causing that?

And it's me. It's the guy who gets knocked on it. You can interrupt yourself. Come on. I could try. Yeah. Uh, well, probably that's the challenge I'll pick up next time. If I remember, which I want to see, Valley can interrupt themselves. If there is a next time, because I think who you love is broke us. We might need to take some time off after this one. But we're not though. As the photo I posted to the Facebook group showed with Stewart again face down on the ground. Just you've never seen given up. Part break quitting. He has quit life at that point.

It's the moment when someone's on a long march in a war movie and they just drop and it's like, you know what I can't walk anymore. I've been given Dan the football to hold for so long and he keeps yanking it away from me. It's like when the quote, it's like what the quote says when your tired of uglos your tired blood. No When you're watching uglos you try to escape life Well, it's time sadly to sign off for the flop house. I've been Dan McCoy I'm still steward Wellington. And I'll always be Elliott Kaelin.

What's that? Come on, I'm trying to save my name. Can you not interrupt me for once? Aaaaahhh! Are you rubbing myself? Oogie loves! Oogie loves! You rewatch it from the beginning until they discovered and killed Laura Palmer. And then you're done.

And then maybe if you want to skip ahead, you can watch the finale. Yeah, because the end of the finale is pretty amazing. Yeah, although I was so mad at it, but at the time, I'm like, what? They can't. That's butt-coop. That's what he said. Butt-coop. Butt-coop.

Should we keep your butts? All right. Let's go. I tell you, I wanted to build a butt-coop in my backyard, but my wife doesn't want me to raise butts. You save money on eggs. Good stuff. Can the eggs come out of butts?

They come out of someone's butt. Sure. That's chickens.
