On this episode we discuss White House Death, I mean Olympus has fallen. Hey everyone and welcome to the flop house. I'm Dan McCoy. So here at the flop house.
No, no, no, no. You got to say your name first. Yeah. Okay, wait, who are you? I'm Stuart Wellingdon. Yeah.
And I'm Elliott Kale.
And if this idea I found in my pocket
when I woke up this morning is correct.
If we sound extra rusty, it's because we actually
haven't been together for a while.
We often start these podcasts by lying and saying,
oh, it's been a while.
But in this case, it actually has been.
It's been over a month since we recorded it.
We usually record every two weeks,
but we stockpile.
We stockpiled a bunch of episodes
because we knew we had a lot of.
Thank them.
We had a lot of life to do.
We had a lot of living left to do.
We got a lot of living.
And it's been a few weeks ago since
Elliot missed Silvestre Stallone appearing on the podcast can't believe i
was out of the world you able now you just got back from us oh two or how did the
troops love your recreation of that moment
how they love your so that's a loan impression man in afghanistan i got some
i was in afghanistan free was a tour
i got so much razzling for not a spoiler it happened already I got so
much razzling from the troops for missing Stallone but when I love them over
there yeah yeah they did not appreciate my reenactments they consider it
sacred and I thought I was defacing their profit
I don't know why you're looking at me I was not an Afghanistan I was looking at
you so you could explain with this fucking podcast. Oh, sorry. This podcast is a podcast where we listen to a, we listen to a bad
movie and try to imagine what the pictures look like. It's called the blind cast. We
like to pretend we're blind and see what it's like to be inside another person's perspective.
Sure. Walk a mile in their shoes. Stuart, did you feel that your other senses became to heightened, to compensate for your lack of sight?
Yes.
What did the movie smell like?
It smelled, well, it smelled like a lot of blood splatter.
Uh-oh.
And aftershade.
OK.
Well, movie could this have been the last.
We watched a bad movie to talk about it.
We've watched it all over the place.
We watched a bad movie because they're filthy.
So it's a charity thing.
So Dan, in this fight, I guess we watched a bad movie then we'd talk. So it's a charity thing. So Dan in this fight
I guess we watch a bad movie then we talk about it. Yeah, and the movie watch tonight was titled Olympus has fallen. Oh
No, does it have the medical hurt bracelet? No, can it contact a health professional to help you get up?
I'll tell you what it can get on dude because
Gerard Bollard is on the case. Sam Worthington was not in this no, but Rimmon Butler is Gerard Butler was in it. Yeah, your own your own Gerard
Bummler. Yeah, we watched the prequel to
Jerry Bumstead. What if I wish it wasn't prequel in White House down they just
kept going again? Seriously that was last week. Also the two movies take place
a week apart. And every once in a while
We were like a new president between times a really old forest Whitaker walks through the scene and like
A tray full of a tea set the Butler is there and he goes up to jarred Butler and he says I'm a real butler
Yeah, they look at the camera and then my eyeballs explode out of my head not die. Yeah from awesomeness
Yeah, so Olympus has what down?
Fallen.
Oh no.
Rated R.
Is playing at right here.
And it was awesome.
I wonder if you're going to say right later on.
Let's talk about a little more.
So this was one of the two White House taken by terrorists
with movies that came out recently.
And the other one, White House Down,
seemed like a lot of people surprisingly liked it i've seen it but they see it
so it was very light and tone very goofy
and knowingly silly uh... that it's such a ridiculous premise this movie
seem to take the opposite tech
of treating this terrorist take over the white house as if it actually happened
and this movie seemed like
you do you took uh... West Wing, the television show, took all the portant
and pump of the White House.
There were so much just to...
...married it to a sub-die-hard action film.
The score alone, it's all heavy drums and sad trumpets and patriotic stirring themes,
and you see a lot of waving American flags and you just want to like shake the director
Antoine Fuqua and maybe like you know this didn't actually happen right like you're not making
them shit up you're not making a movie about Guadalcanal like this is about a made-up hostage thing
where you have one man on his own trying to fight terrorists in the white hat like it's basically
die hard in the white house and they thought they were making saving private Ryan yeah like there's
there'll be a scene where the president gets up
to just walk into the other room
and there's a huge music swell.
Yeah.
And 10 different people salute him, et cetera, et cetera.
And the body count in the movie is enormous.
And they're never gonna let us.
They killed everyone in America in this movie.
It seems like.
No one dies off screen.
Everybody dies off screen.
You get to see so many people get bullets shot through their bodies and the next scene and like all he just got
shot in the torsor this movie okay had more bullets to the head than bullet to
the head yeah way more but it's to it gets shot in the torso the next shot will
be him being shot ahead yeah Gerard Butler walking up and just shooting right
the face really casually like like oh okay I'm just I'm not gonna this guy just to be sure well Like really? Oh, okay. I'm just talking to this guy.
Just to be sure.
By the time he does that at the end,
he's killed about 400 people.
And he's seen 1,000 people get killed.
But you're right.
Pull it to the head.
Pull it to the head.
Charon, the Barry Men of the River Sticks.
He believes he's collecting them
for his dark master, Americon.
Well, I mean, with every soul he kills,
he gets more powerful.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like the blade of a thousand whatever's
Okay, and now what should we dismiss it now the plot of this movie is so stupid
Let's only go over it in the most basic of of things first off
There's the first kid and he needs to learn how to get out of the white house
If he gets taken over by terrorists. Well that happened to Ashley Judd who explodes
You may be doing a little too much.
That's a little too abbreviated.
No, no, no, no, maybe it's called a creative scientist.
So Gerard Butler is a former US Army Ranger who's now on the, he is a secret service agent
protecting the president.
Played by Aaron Heckart.
And the first lady, Ashley Jo.
Why did they let him protect the president that the president was before he got facial reconstruction
surgery is okay again
all right now we all read dark night returns we know that he thinks that both
sides of his face are destroyed now anyway
air in a car
i guess you guys didn't read our returns what's i mean i'm doing a nice
eighty six that was so important that you missed it i mean i have a
michelle for that i just don't really
okay braggie you don't need to brag
about your comic book collection.
Anyway, so, Aernac hearts the president.
I'm just surprised they let it tobacco lobbyist
become the president, but you know.
And the guy who treated that deaf girl so poorly.
Yeah, but I guess he is a veteran of the battle LA.
Yep.
Anyway.
He was moving.
He also saved the earth by going to the core and restarting it.
He was in that movie.
He's made a lot of crap.
Yeah, I think we were saying this earlier for a good actor.
He's made a lot of garbage.
He's like, he's made, he's usually for a good actor to make so that many crappy movies
they have to be British.
And just be like, whatever, it's a paycheck.
I'll do Shakespeare on the stage.
And I'll do this movie where I play an alien with brow
Rage is a elemental and yeah, Chronicles are really
You need me to link gravitas to whatever bullshit you're putting on screen sure or pay me. I'll do it. Just make it out to
Jackaby
Make it out to de jacks. That's my rap name
I'm only doing this role so I can get the money i need to produce my first album
i'll be you that's how they pronounce it because it's a classic it's made out of
album in
now uh...
yes
uh... healthier that way
okay so air net cards the president actually judged the first lady
that camp david and they're about to a christmas party they're in the motorcade
a tree branch falls it's snowing they slip on ice and the car with the president the first lady in it
goes halfway off of bridge oh no now the first lady is conked in the head there's blood pouring
out of her nose and jorard butler who's makes a split second decision on the save the president's
life and try to come back for the first lady he's too late he saves the president the car slips
off the bridge the first lady dies a limpus has fallen no and that's a wrap for that's a wrap freshly jott on
alimpses fallen everybody everybody applaud she gets her paycheck she walks
out to think about running for senate against michael michael michael
decides not to what he can do instead should probably show boob's new movie
or something
eighteen months later
uh... jord butler's character banning
he has is now working at the treasury to
the president because the president no longer wants to see the man who let
his wife die every day
uh... he doesn't like it
but there's a meeting between the president and the south korean prime
minister
but during it
there's a terrorist attack it turns out
everybody in the south korean prime ministers entourage accept him
is a north korean terrorist
was all the guys of putting tales and suits are bad guys that's
weird exactly and uh... that with the help of dilland mcdermott and ex-secret
servicemen turned
contractor of some kind
they uh... use a plane to basically blow up washington dc
and kill everybody in the white house except the president
the vice president and a couple of seven days dilland, Dylan McDermott is playing a bad guy in this movie.
He seems so, I don't know, non-sleezy, on greasy, like a pleasant fellow, like a lack
of shame and worthy, lazy smoking.
This is a little problem that I like to call the Von Sideow Complex, where a movie, a
staircase.
That's all of your paperback.
Yeah, it's also part of my, it's part of my Jack Treacher series of spy novels.
It's about Arthur Treacher's brother who's also Jack Reacher's brother.
So it's the Vansiteau complex.
A Jack Treacher mystery thriller, spy novel.
It's part of a series called, of mysteries thriller, spy novels.
But anyway, in minority report, Max one side of plays like the president of the
secretary of state or something i don't know
the minute you see it's supposed to be a surprise that he's the bad guy
but the minute you see him you're like
oh max one side of the this he must be the bad guy he's always the bad guy
i mean this reminds me of the devil from needful things is in this i guess he's
the bad guy this reminds me of a story about our co-worker
and also
uh... of occasional flop house guest host is you've been praying uh... when we
were when he and i had to write questions about uh...
white house down the other uh... white house taken by terrorist movie because
who is our guest jamey foxes yeah i think so
and uh... the white house was probably and jubin was looking over the uh... castles and the uh... that james
that james woods played the secretary of state
and he's like
i bet james woods the bad guys who is that he's totally right and you wouldn't
ask you right
just looking at the castles
there's certain actors
who are so
good at the role of the turncoat that you shouldn't cast them because you know that the it's like in Ironman 3
Is it Miguel Ferrer has like three seconds of screen time as the vice president and you know he's the bad guy
Cuz it's Miguel Ferrer like like Tom Hanks the fucking bag guy. Yeah, cuz Tom Hanks gonna take the starting roll Iron Man 3
Come on Dan. Yeah, he's a huge star, bro. Come on bro. We Or get like an actor that's good that no one's seen before.
Yeah, but they're certain actor is...
Channing Tatum, etc.
To a less rich tenant.
But someone who's pleasant.
Someone who does not exude Michael Shannon.
All right.
Yeah, you know, like Michael Shannon.
Or like Robert England.
You know, someone who's all peaches at cream cutliners.
You know, like Danny Treo.
Michael Rooker. You know know like Michael Irons side.
Lance Hendrickson.
A Peter Weller type.
You know that actor with the pointy head plays.
Exactly, he's taking the dark to see the bad guy spoiler alert.
Watch it on in demand.
It's like five bucks, he cares.
You know a guy you got you never guess the
villain like Gunner Hanson anyway so the the where was I go oh to a lesser
extent it's what I call the tinker Taylor soldier spy complex yeah which is
a was a Jack treacher novel until I was sued by John the Carey where you know
the you know who the mola is because it's the only big name actor in the cast.
This is different. It's an actor you know is kind of is play sleazy characters, so you know he's the bad guy. But anyway,
they North Korean terrorist named Kang who apparently has been hot crying not crying who we which we thought was his name.
So he's not ejaculating and peeing on someone. That's where your mind goes there for credit.
That your image of crying is so destroyed by that one picture.
I mean, in flop-hast mythology, that's where he exists.
I mean, come on, guys.
He's been in a layover position this.
He's been in a layover position this.
It's hard to shake that.
It's hard to shake that pigeon-holing as the double-p-crain.
Oh, you're the double pee guy.
I have such range.
I can play any sort of brain in the thorax, not just a peeing one.
Apparently, I was a play Sean Connery.
He's our boss.
Yeah, well, Sean Connery was originally going to play crang.
Yeah.
I'm the crang now, dog.
Who's the brain in a robots torso now, dog?
The name is Ang.
Crang. brain in a robots torso now dog. The name is Ang. Cran. Anyway, so,
Cran, not Cran. He is Cran, the time traveling warlord from the 31st century,
whatever. Not Cran, the brain. Cran has apparently been
this amazing terrorist mastermind who's also part of the South Korean government.
And there's an amazing moment later on where his identity is revealed
and the guy who's working with the
speaker of the house morgan fremen who is standing in for the prept who's
the acting president
because they don't know what's happening
and fremen
who i jokingly said was going to be in this movie because i saw actually jutter
early in the movie and then he showed up
because that one can't get you do you know that's like the two quarries like to
have in the contract it's like the two quarries like they have in the contract I got it right like that movie where he wear the by the way
I would love to see a two-chorey style movie that I
Got remake of license to driver something like that
South Beach Academy with Morgan Freeman and Ashley Joe
We got to get this volleyball team up and running boobs out everybody
This is just two just two college students on the make one of them's a middle-aged lady the others an old man
Guys, I don't think you could play these parts anymore. I'm not sure you could play these parts
These are the parts Ashley and I were born to play
The penguins marched across no getting rid of meeting we're in a pitch meeting you know talk about penguins
It's like it's like Morgan Freeman the Hannibal Lecter
Well, that's when he auditioned for the role. Yeah, they said he wasn't creepy enough
He just I'm screaming still Clarice
And he got framed in a lab scream
Yes, you are now you have to do an impression. Oh, I'm the better hands-on
Perfect a plus a plus for effort plus
Okay, and and accuracy all right, so there's a great moment where the guy who's assisting the president goes
This guy Kang he's the biggest terrorist ever. He does it. He did all these other bombings. No one's ever photographed him or identified him
They know never thought to look in the south korean government
well okay you know what that's fair that no one thought to look there for a
terrorist but
anyway so let's let's cut through this crap they take over the white house it's a
long action scene when they take over the white house a lot of shooting goes on a
long time
you fall asleep and you wake up and the shooting is still going on in the fall
see if most modern action movies which which is just shooting a bunch of automatic
weapons for a long time is going to be exciting.
And like with many fallacies, they think size is what's most important.
It's not the size of the gun battles, how you use it in your movie.
Let me talk about a little movie called...
If you really care about the people involved.
A little movie called Old Boy.
Or you do a weird thing with it.
In Old Boy?
Yeah, you do.
Like shooting in the butt.
Something that gets there. It gets there. It's the attention. All you needed in old boy
Just baffle them I guess yeah, but so let's take it like a movie like old boy I think everyone agree that most brilliant scene is the side is the side scrolling fight in the hallway with it all in one shot
With a hammer if I didn't say that I'd be lying. Yeah, it's like three and a half minutes
It's a group of guys with one with a hammer and the other with sticks.
And they just hit each other and it's an amazing scene.
And this is-
And old lies like, if I had a hammer, a hammer in the morning.
Into your head.
Yeah.
Then a hammer in the evening into your kneecap.
All over this you.
Come on, kneecap, hell it.
God, Dan, other people have kneecaps. You're not the only one who has
one. Anyway, I'm gonna make apps in this movie, Dan. Do anybody have shot them? No, I'm
gonna show it. I'm gonna show it. Mostly the head. I'm fine with that. The front of the
head, the side of the head, the back of the head. I'm gonna make a shot in the head.
Perfect. Sure. A plus. Okay. So, but they suggest that watching the movie bullet to the knee but Dan said no, no thank you
It's my one veto of the year
He usually uses veto to veto when a contest winner chooses the movie we're gonna watch
So there's this long sequence of them trying the action scenes are just too long and let me just say this before I forget about it
The special effects in this movie. They reach a new height of craftiness.
It's like I have seen better special effects
in the cut scenes for like command and conquer
tyberian son.
Like where it's like just some dude in front of a green screen
and there's a CGI explosion behind him, you know.
This is, these are some of the worst computer effects
I think I've seen in years.
When the giant airplane was flying around blowing up the Washington Monument
I totally assumed that like a shark to push was gonna come flying
I mean like let's take a moment to appreciate the most hilarious scene in the film which is the giant
like the what the like a cargo plane
Yeah, we're crashing into the Washington washing monument and just chunks of the washing
monument crushing people running away and it looks so fake and so that the
fake is seen for me is there's a part where jarred butler uses a rocket
launcher to blow up some kind of computer hydro gun that's shooting down
helicopter a patchy helicopters and he then like it explodes in the
as to he falls backwards through a hole in the roof and it looks like he literally sat in a chair,
went, ah!
And then they just, using like, MS paint,
just to race the background
and drew in like a stick figure drawing of a room behind him.
But it's also terrible.
It's like the reverse version of that scene
and die hard too, where John McLean, like,
shoots up toward the camera and then falls back down.
It's like the boring version.
At least that was awesome and William Sadler was in that movie.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's two things this doesn't have.
Anyway, so everyone gets killed.
Jard Butler is the only one left inside because it's die hard in the White House.
And he's got to a stout.
He's got to save the president before they give into the terrorist demands, which are,
he's going to kill the president unless the president removes all armed forces
from the Korean peninsula, which is crazy.
And he wants to reunite the Koreas.
But I have to believe that even the president's life
is considered somewhat expendable when it comes to,
I guess world policy.
Basically saying like, oh yeah, the Korean war,
we ended that now.
Or like any military policy.
But anyway, he also has a secret plan.
There's something called the Cerberus,
a fail-safe device that will self-detonate
any US nuclear missile in the country.
So wait, it's not a multi-headed dog.
No, sadly, it's not.
And there wasn't the moment that Stuart and I both wanted
where it is a multi-headed dog, and it sees
Draught Butler and then gives him a nod
of understanding and acceptance,
because they're one of a kind, that served not themselves but a master a harsh
master but adjust master
in the right in the right in service with case hideous in drug butler's case
aron Eckhart
mhm a harsh master indeed
anyway more and meanwhile more than freeman is kind of like dithering around in
the war room
well Robert forster who's the head of the army yells at him
and the service goes for his robert forster yes yes he's best known for his role in around in the war room while Robert Forster, who's the head of the army, yells at him.
And the Cerberus code.
He wars Robert Forster?
Yes, he's best known for his role in as the mystic guy who would show up and solve a problem
instead of just saving the day himself, Robert Forster.
So, he wars.
I think it's available on watch instantly.
There's a couple.
Put that near you and hit the button.
Let's apply it.
Put that near you and smoke it.
There's a couple different things. Stop that up, you're cute and hit the button that lets it play. Put that in your cue and smoke it. There's a couple different scenes where there are three codes.
The president has one, the secretary of, I don't know, the Navy or something, the secretary
to fans or something has one, and the secretary of something else played by Melissa Lio has
one.
And the president will watch as Kang beats up the person and then find the president to go,
okay, give him the code, give him the code.
And in both, one time, they almost cut one the guy's neck and then they just beat the crap out of
Melissa Leo. They're just punching her all over. You're like, if you're just gonna give it up, why do you let
them beat her up so much? Yeah, she turns the president. We're like, yeah, thanks. Thanks for giving
him the code now. But even then, like those people, it's one of those things where it's like,
either like, don't let them beat them up at all or let them beat them to death and not give them control of America's
nuclear weapons.
But anyway, banning is running, Jard Butler, Brent Branding is running around the White
House.
Their secret, their secret like-
Hello, Brent Branding, super secret service agent.
There's one point he catches that kid and lets him go.
Yeah.
It's a catch and release program first kid he finds the president's on the first
kid starting soon bad and saves him and and lets him leave the White House he's
creeping around in secret passageways in the White House where they store you
know like fdr's gold and stuff and he isn't able to stop them from launching
helicopters the White House they get shot down eventually let's, what about the first daughter played by Katie Holmes?
Does she get to date who she wants to date?
She's actually not in this movie.
Okay.
Now, okay, the Kang lose it.
He gets his communications with the other movie.
What is that?
American president?
It was like first daughter.
Yeah, it's something like that.
I don't know.
They were actually like two first daughter movies.
I think there was one with what's the name?
Mindy. Something. Killing the name? Mindy, something?
Killing?
No.
Mindy, more.
Mandy more.
Yeah, but I think the first daughter one with Katie Holmes
had Michael Keaton in it.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah, Michael Keaton's like,
I'd so weirdly self-imposed,
I feel like period in the wilderness.
I think, you know, considering it came after Jack Frost,
I think it was not self-imposed. I don't know, I mean it was after the bomb movie in which he was a jazz musician who saw went into a snowman
Okay, I don't think this was a self-imposed thing
I could like he had been in some huge movies. He could have made a few better. Yeah, one of the best biggest movies stars in the planet
No, and no man. He was fucking bad man. Brad. He was your mom
He wasn't the one who sold those movies. Batman sold his movies. He was being
a choose. I think it was the one two punch of multiplicity and jack frost that could kill any career.
Mm-hmm. We could kill Tom Hanks's career. Could kill Humphrey Bogart's career. If Humphrey Bogart was in multiplicity and then jack frost,
he would never make a movie again. I would never do it.
He was the one who was the best man in my heart. That is all he pussy. That is all these coins of me.
The stupid clone in multiplicity.
This just hungry vlogger, Doug.
Hungry vlogger trying to put a slice of pizza into a wallet.
I've told the story before of my attending the New York premiere of multiplicity.
It's a bit of a bit of a repeating.
Well, let's just say, well, the producer of it, a guy who is, at the time I think head of
Columbia TriStar, was one of my dad's good friends from college.
I think they were roommates. And this was the movie that was premiering in New York. So we went to the premiere of multiplicity.
We sat near, uh, what's his name? Al Franken. And then at the party efforts was on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, because that was tied to the movie, not at all.
That was when my brother met Harold Ramos asked him one of the movies he made besides ghost busters held ramis as i made
Stuart saved his family
and i've arrived
now is how ramis yeah yeah
and and how ramis
said and at my brother responded that bomb and how ramis pretended to choke him
so that's my held ramis story of my brother offending him
anyway so that list i think the other is a charmer
Yeah, yeah, he's single ladies
Anyway, there's a reason sports facts and letters insulting Harold ramens
So there's a reason Michael Keaton was in the wilderness for a while. All right
It's not like he was like you know what the world's seen enough of the key. I better reserve my power
It's not like he was like you know what the world's seen enough of the key. I better reserve my power
I went off to live in like a crazy Kung Fu temple. So I'm too beautiful for this mortal plane Me and the elves are gonna leave middle earth for the golden lands
Okay, whatever I don't care
I can look I got so much real history in my head. I can't remember where the elves went to cross the rainbow bridge to Valhalla. The rainbow bridge goes to Asgard.
Don't worry about it.
No, yeah, Valhalla.
I guess that's in Asgard, right?
Valhalla's like the district of Asgard that the Asgardians don't go too too much because
it's just super rowdy.
Probably.
They're going to gentrify it eventually.
I don't want to believe in any of that shit.
Anyway.
Yeah, anyway.
So moving on, so Kang's communications get cut off
by Gerard Butler.
And the, sorry, I meant to say Butler,
but I didn't, it came out wrong.
But that was not a deliberate mispronunciation.
So Kang has a new plan.
He's going to fake letting Melissa Lio go,
and then kill her in front of the world's press.
And you did forget, before this point,
I think we had the uh...
this lifted directly out of die hard no that happens after this
okay so but dr. buttler destroys that plan by killing a bunch of kang's guys
kang's on the run so that it's up to plan b
kang and his man are gonna escape
disguised as hostages
because we've never seen that before only and I think every movie ever.
It's got to be in basic training at this point.
Yeah.
I mean, I do feel like that was not-
My sniper training is like just shoot their hoods off of you.
Pew!
That was novel when I saw it in QuickTime.
But QuickTime is QuickTime.
QuickTime, Dan.
You watched it on the program.
You downloaded and watched it as a quick time video.
Yeah, that's how we watch it.
When I watch it, it's quick change.
And quick, just like my favorite movie Netflix.
And we're different every time.
My favorite movie, Mac Video Player.
Windows Media Player.
I love that movie.
Windows Media Player. It's weird. Sometimes when I watch it, it's like
an episode of The Simpsons and sometimes it's a porno. I don't understand.
I'm a genius now. It's still a game.
Well, Dan, YouTube is a new, is basically a channel now.
What?
Tell me about it.
Digital is the future of media, Dan.
New media. Let's get into it.
It's time for our new media to all.
Let's take a call.
Stuart, you're on the line.
So when I turn on my computer and put on the YouTube,
where's all the naked ladies?
Great question.
Number one, it's just called YouTube, not the YouTube.
Number two, type in naked ladies.
If that doesn't help, I don't know what to tell you.
Maybe you want to try daily motion.
Okay.
All right, now on one, we've got Stuart Okay. All right. Now I'm one with God.
Let's do it.
Also from New York.
Steward, you have a question.
So how do I get to that other thing
where I can see the naked babes?
Okay.
You know what?
Just type naked babes into Google.
I think you'll find it.
What's Google?
Oh boy.
Here we go again.
Just kidding, folks.
I know all about Google.
So, Ellie, you were talking about stuff.
And to find naked babes on the other.
Oh yeah, yeah. So anyway, the hostages walk out with the hostage takers
They're all wearing hoods. They get in a rescue helicopter and then the helicopter explodes
And every one thinks everyone thinks the president is in there, but he wasn't
Kang and Aaron Eckhart have faked their own deaths. Right. So Kang fake king figure death it's not like our net car president
it's like whatever i'm sick of a breath
is like that
you know what i want to go i want to go back to my original life as a poet in
france
now that's what you're marston did anyway so
the
king fake their death so they can escape he sets off serbius
and he says i'm not gonna launch the missiles
I'm just gonna blow them up in their silos turning America into a nuclear wasteland which I immediately got exciting
Because that would be a great movie right yeah, I would worry your mutants and shit. Yeah, I've been in America this time
Yeah, it's okay. It doesn't have to be in Australia every time. Yeah, good be in America this time
and
Mutant kangaroos. Why would they be kangaroos?
Bangaroo.
Bangaroo.
Bangaroo.
Bangaroo.
That's Australia again.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
They would be mutant bears banging tank girls.
We have bears in this country.
But we can still have tank girls in this area.
Of course, we have tanks and girls.
Let's put them together.
Why not?
And we've got Lori Petty.
So whatever.
Well, we have a Lori Petty.
National treasure.
Still.
We haven't gotten rid of that yet
What's it like a million years old and leaving their own?
She was not that she's the grandma at the house
She got really old right she's the cute. No, it's true
They actually aged the aged her with the time machines that she can play the old version of herself
Yep, yeah, they're drink from that we're right up from me say they said now you're gonna have to choose poorly for this role. They come from with that. They got Rick Maranas from
honey I blew up the kid fucking making age rate. So age age up Lori petty. It's interesting that
that's where you go to your mad scientist not just Rick Maranas' character but from honey
they blew up the kid the sequel. Well honey I shrunk the kid Rick Maranas has too much integrity.
I see. What about the drunken
yeah steward gordon was involved with that
really i was so
uh... he like wrote the original script
it was a lot of the kids
no i'm sure that
not blue
that explains why in the original script for honey ish from the kid there is this
weird
greasy s&m monster
and jeffrey combs is written into it
yeah there was a scene of the with that severed head of a giant ant
gave head to the other person. Dan not cool. I mean Barbara. I'm not cool. Yeah, you always go for the gross scene
Yeah, that's the scene everyone remembers from reanimator, right?
I guess I remember the reanimating
Mm-hmm. I remember it for the reanimating
I'm in it for the animating and the reanimating.
Okay, let's finish up this stupid movie.
All right.
Now, I didn't even mention the part
where a Draud Butler discovers
Dillumic Tirmit is the turn coat.
Yeah, and the most dihardy,
diehard of all the diharders.
Because it doesn't matter.
There's no reason for it.
So, Draud Butler catches up with Kang and Kodo,
which is what I'm calling the president now.
And Kodo gets shot.
And for our butlers, like, oh no, I'll save you, but then he has to fight Kang.
And Kang's totally winning for a second until the president says, you can do it, and then
he wins.
And then, George Butler wins.
And George Butler's like, okay, we'll get you out of here, Mr. President, not noticing
the beep, beep, beep beep and the giant countdown clock
that's down the hall and then the president's like no no you got to turn off Cerberus.
So he goes and he gets the code and he turns Cerberus off the three seconds left.
Yeah it's really exciting.
And he and the president walk out everyone applause.
He and the president walk out and the president gives a speech as if about how America has
been brought to its knees but now we have an opportunity to be reborn.
And it's like, dude, all that really we have to do now
is fix the White House and the Washington Monument
and give funerals to the people who died.
Like there was no major.
Yeah, a major burial.
This was as far from a major crisis of conscience
for the United States as possible, you know.
Mess burial.
So, he's gonna use a bulldozer
to push all the secret surgeons into a mess.
No matter where he's on or something,dozer to push all the secret service agents into a mess. I'm in a sauna. Something he cares.
I'm into the sun. This is a Kryptonian burial.
Just get a really big sling shot. Yeah, yeah.
But I just can't overstate. Maybe in death terrorists and secret service guys could
become brothers. Could I? I can't overstate how seriously this movie took itself.
And how like I think you could probably make a fun movie with the same exact
script which they possibly did with with White House down the same exact script just directed the way that like
I know like
Whitewood
The title is more like is more snooty and serious. Yeah, oh, this is fallen as opposed to White House down
Yeah, also we learned that everything in the in the White House is named after a Greek mythology
thing.
There's Olympus, there's Cerberus, there's a, there's a, there's a lot of e-mess.
Automated gun named Hydra, the president calls his dick, polyfamous, because there's one
eye.
Oh, I get that.
And it's a son of Poseidon.
But also like, and this movie is so,... wrote to like yes i'm a rodent
but can't but the screenwriters were really good but i would like to drop
attention to one moment in in the movie which i feel like
uh... represents encapsulates the whole films
uh... lack of interest in giving anyone any interesting motivation for
anything which is when dilland redarm McDermott is revealed as the bad guy
and Aaron Eckhart's like,
you betrayed me and Dylan McDermott's like,
you betrayed us already with your globalization
and your Wall Street is like,
you're just like fucking like pulled to buzzwords at it.
It is the laziest explanation from rationale for trying to take down the
government you know what the globalization in the wall street like i'd i you
know he was just hanging out at occupy wall street and he's like yeah man let's
tear down the fucking ruling class and the opposite of that is the fact that you
mentioned while you're watching it they have to give drawer butler a reason
that he's failed the president in the past they have to give drawer butler a reason that he's failed the president the past
they have to give him a reason and a motivation to want to save the president
he's a but why is he like fucking and give let's just say forget that he's a
secret service agent it's his job to save the president
even if he was just a regular american you think he'd be like you know what
maybe i will save the president you know he is the leader of my country at all, but they feel the need to give him a personal emotional motivation.
Yeah, I say, oh, I got to make it up to the president for not saving his wife. And you
know how personal, I got a personal thing, you know, like now or even, I wish, I wish
when he said the president was like, oh, we square a life for a life. This thing between
us, it's over now, right?
We got no beef, no beef, Mr. Press.
And the president tears up the crazy magical contract.
He filled out with the Bobby Yaga.
What?
I'm moving the terms of this Bobby Yaga contract.
I put out a hit on you with the Bobby Yaga.
So if you see a chicken-like at house, just tell her that everything's done.
Yeah, she scratches scratches cheek it said
up here
uh...
so this is a dumb movie yeah what we're saying
where i even mention the subplot about his
wife who's a nurse because it's totally irrelevant there's no reason to have
it who cares
i think i think it a good example of how this is similar along to the lines of Dylan McDermott's
bullshit explanation is the first time
Gerard Butler gets on the phone with a crang is it?
Kang you said crang so he's talking to crang on the phone and they talk shit to each other a little bit
the bad guy says something like alkylil a million presidents or something and
with a bad guy says something like, I'll kill you, I'll million presidents or something.
And instead of like this is the chance for the movie
or the screenwriter to be like, okay,
let's come up with a good line.
And I think Jar Butler just says,
fuck off and hangs up.
He says, let's play a game, it's called,
fuck off, you first.
And then he hangs up.
It's like,
and this screenwriter, like they clearly had a bunch
of lines written on a whiteboard
and they crossed them all off and encircled that one and gave each other high five when
they wrote it.
Well, that's the other thing.
If you're gonna treat this as a serious movie, you can't give him one line or quips,
you know, it's stupid.
This is a movie that the tone is totally wrong, the story is so by the numbers, the action
scenes are boring, the computer effects are bad, the acting is lazy, you know.
Andy Stabs, a bad guy in the head with a knife at the end.
That's the best part. I mean, when the best thing you can say about the movie is like,
there's a lot of head shots. Like a lot of people get shot in the head and blood splatters
out of the back of their head. And if you ever wanted to see Melissa Leo get worked over
by a couple thugs, this is the movie for you, you know, but that in the IMDB keyword search for recommended movies, Melissa Leo worked over by thugs.
Bruce to Melissa Leo.
This everyone whispers all the time and there's a scene where Melissa Leo and the president
are whispering to each other and she has her arm over her mouth. It's like thanks movie.
You give it. You're making it so hard for me to try to pay attention to you. Do we have
anything we have to do before we go to the
lead bus?
Just skip the final judgment.
So I think that it's clear that we all have a movie.
It was a good, good movie.
Bad, bad movie.
Bad, bad movie.
Best, great movie.
We didn't care for this film.
But do you need to say, make space to insert something?
Let's do it more awkwardly.
Is there space to answer something?
Yeah, let's take a moment to have a word from our sponsor.

It was shirts. I like the shirt I got along. No, no, no, we actually got some very nice
shirts from Frank and I. Yeah, I think I'll probably wear mine tomorrow. As a sample.
And they are. They are. Elliot's after him. and they are and they are and they are and they are

and they are
and they are
and they are
and they are and they are and they are and they are and they are Letters! Actually, let's get ready to letters. Yeah. Are you ready for some letters?
Monday night letters, everybody, if you're listening to this on a Monday night.
If you're not, insert the day of the week you're listening to and the time of that day,
and then add letters to the end of it.
For example, let's say it's a Wednesday morning.
Okay.
Wednesday morning letters.
Okay, sure.
Let's say it's Thursday around noonish.
Sure.
Thursday noonish letters. Okay. Let's say it's the around new Nish. Sure. Thursday new Nish letters. Okay.
Let's say it's the summer solstice. I don't know what day that is. So just say summer solstice.
Climb out of that wicker man. You're probably stuck in. You know what?
Don't stick around in the wicker man because it's about to become a burning man festival. If you know what I mean. But whatever the king
write it down on a piece of paper. Dig a hole, bury it in your back here. And forget about it.
And in a million years, you'll be dead.
That's the fail.
But the first letter is.
That reminds me, sorry, before we took the letters,
this is totally unrelated to everything
that I was thinking about.
How the guys,
how the village that they built for Star Wars in Tunisia
to represent Tatooine and Mozaizli
is slowly being overtaken by sand dunes that are moving farther here.
And I just imagine that in 400 years an archaeologist will dig there and find this alien civilization
be like, oh my god, this changes everything about our knowledge of human history.
Where are they getting all that blue milk?
These people were using vaporators. There was some kind of alien bar
here. So thanks George. George were clearly not welcome. George Lucas for screwing with the minds
of future archaeologists. They clearly should have gone down to Tashi station to pick up the new
cat power conversion. Unless it's possible that by that point Star Wars will have become a religion
and they'll be like we've found it the holy place. Let's fight over it for a thousand years.
But this first letter is titled Family Drama.
Dear the flop house.
That's us.
I recently recommended the podcast my sister and she told me that she was forced to turn

and a daily show animal wrangler.
Watch terrible movies.
Closest will get to a MST3K podcast
and she ignored the title of the podcast.
That's high praise.

That was bad thing too for a second you guys are right this emailer should have been more clear. I'm
I'm sorry about you McCley continue. I
Have sure this comedy nightmare. I had in it. I was the flop house's own elite Kaelin And I was solving a mysterious rash of child abductions in a strange village as Elliott weird dream
I traveled to an island and found a clearing in the brush stained with blood. I knew the children were all dead
Well, this is a horrible dream. I saw a flash of fur and turned to see the culprit turns out it was a goofy panther all along
I say goofy
Yeah, because I was glad you knew that I was gonna ask that question. Because his face looked like a taxidermy panther
made by someone who never seen a panther.
Anyway, he ate those children,
but spared me Elliot, or did he?
I'll never know, because I woke up from laughing.
All I know, I'd rate this dream spookly good bed.
Flop on you, floppy diamonds, Ashley last name with her.
It's better than most of my dreams, well.
Like goofy panther, sounds pretty horrible, so congratulations for making me totally creeped out
I'm just glad I infiltrated your brain to the point where you want to be me in your dreams. Yeah
This is the lame Mr. Wicker man movie. I'm just saying that Panther was Freddie
But he was like not trying very hard, you know, he was like oh
It's time for me to leave for the day, but I got
one more kill to do. I'll just be a goofy panther or something. Hey, I'm a goofy, I'm a
goofy panther bitch. Good girl, good girl, bitch. You scared, whatever. Anyway, quitting time.
See you later, bitch. The panther, like punches out like in was Warner Brothers cartoons as another guy with a with a blade figure glove walks in and punches in hay Fred hay
Panther ho already I'll take over girl regor I'm a Panther bitch
Freddie can I you come into my office for a second? Yeah, mr. Guffs. It's in what is it?
Freddie we've been getting a lot of complaints
that you're calling the client's bitch.
You know, it's part of my thing.
It's just kind of spooky.
I'm gonna kill him anyway.
What's it doing?
Yeah, but we can kill the clients with respect.
You know, we don't need to be scared.
He's finding it.
He's finding it.
Sexism is quite annoying.
There's a little place thing called
workplace appropriateness and sexual harassment.
I'm gonna need you to do a three hour training session.
Oh, not again, come on, sir.
Take it easy on the home or our autism please.
I don't have to rip off everybody's weaners.
So there's all this blood down there.
It was just the one movie.
So no bitch and no weaner ripping.
Can I do my job now?
Whoa, Freddie, enough with the talk back.
You know, this is going in your record.
No, come on, another black this is going in your record. No, come on another black mark in a mom probation
double-secret probation
Don't never let me into the fraternity now. I need this job
This is the only thing I know how to do killing kids in their dreams if you don't go back to being a lawyer
That's fine, but if you don't shape up, we're gonna replace you with Jason
It will be a Freddy versus Jason situation
He never talks. Yeah, and he doesn't say bitch as a result
Freddy you can learn a thing or two from Jason. Oh God
I think she's so great. Just because he was in the NHL
We get it. We get it just because his mom's got her head chopped
And he has teleportation abilities and he's as
death elemental and it probably is on me. Freddie, you don't show me
another job where you can wear a hat and just write about
that's work. No, no, no, no, you got to get to the last
letter. He's got a machete. I got a pretty step in for
second. Jason killed by a fire starter, I think. Jason, can
you step in here too? Both of you now, this is a hard
decision. I know both of you applied to the in-space program,
but we can only send one of you into space.
And I'm sorry, we've made a decision.
Jason, you're going to space.
And Jason doesn't talk to me, just raises his fists
and pumps them in the air, silently.
And Freddie's like, this is bullshit, man.
I've been with this company 25 years.
I've killed way more kids than he has.
I'm not sure that's true, Freddie.
We can check the numbers, but it's all about demeanor. You got to way more kids than he has. I'm not sure that's true, Freddie. We can check the numbers
But it's all about demeanor. You got a scratch you scratch our back. I'll scratch yours
But I don't really scratch my back because your fingers have blades on them
Mr. Gossison, I mean, I'd respect you, but I don't respect the guys upstairs if you know what I mean
And maybe that's part of the problem Freddie. Yeah, maybe that's part of the problem
Can't look inside. Inside yourself.
Shape up and fly right, maybe you'll go into space one day.
Whatever, I'm never gonna go into space.
Not with that attitude, you're not Freddie.
Jason, can you please leave the room?
I think I have to talk to Freddie again.
Yeah.
Now, Freddie.
Well, you're also how long has this been?
I mean, Freddie, you're on time.
It's been nice, buddy.
Let me be honest, you're on thin ice.
I don't care who your uncle is.
Maybe Bill Kruger runs this company. That doesn't mean we have to keep you on the payroll. Look, I've gone to a nice buddy. Let me be honest, you're on thin ice. I don't care who your uncle is. Maybe Bill Kruger runs this company.
That doesn't mean we have to keep you on the payroll.
Look, I've gone to bet for you a couple times.
I can look at a certain point.
At a certain point, there's only so much I can do,
buddy, you gotta help me help you.
I know, I know, you're a good guy.
I must contribute to the law, I can't.
Yeah.
Okay, we done with Freddie's law.
Show him what his job is.
Okay, this last letter.
This letter, this last letter. This letter, this last letter.
This letter, this letter.
How are we supposed to respond to the letter?
I guess it's 12 feet tall.
There's nothing we can joke about.
This last letter, or as I call it a letter,
is titled, hey, it's me, Elliot.
What?
Oh, hell's come.
Why does everyone want to be me all of a sudden?
Dear fellow, I felt like we were trapped
in a weird wormhole.
Dear fellow, great. Deer fellow, that's right, it's me, Elliot.
It's not.
I know you guys are wondering why I write into a podcast
I'm actually on.
And if you're Elliot, IE me, you're probably wondering
why I don't remember writing this letter.
Well, shut up for a second, because I'm gonna tell you.
Please, thank you.
I wrote it in to tell you guys.
I'm writing it from the future.
What I'm terrible is gonna write in to tell you guys what'm writing it from the future. What I'm terrible is you know I'm writing to tell you guys
What I don't have courage to say in person firstly Dan you are proud of noble leader, and I want you to know
I love you not a weird
A bit of a way, but you're the greatest person. I know kind of way. That's not no
I would like to give you my amies as a sign of appreciation
Ignore me if I protest this becretel and put person. I'm just being shy
I really want you to have the Emmy
So feel free to take it by force. I know it. I mean, I have my own you have one. You don't need my
But thank you you may get another one this weekend. I don't know don't knock on what I must have really been on the
Pain then I wrote this letter, but what do I say to Stuart Stewart? I do love you in a slash fiction kind of way, okay?
Elliott and it's lash fiction kind of way. Okay. Elliot. Oh, sure, this is cool.
Elliot, that's all I had to say to you.
You're talking to yourself.
Don't panic yet.
All will be revealed in the poor whole of time.
Dan, it's real?
Dan wink at me now.
Dan is still.
Oh, so, also, stop being so coy about Ms. Halfaway.
We totally tapped that.
And now for a series of rapid-fire professions.
Elliot, gentlemen, never tell.
Number one, I've never seen Castle Block in nor any other Black and White movie for that matter.
I find them boring and only recommend them to seem cool.
I don't know what I'm saying. Don't listen to me.
Number two, my favorite part of the podcast are the all-too-rare occasions when my brother
writes in.
Right, son.
David, you were fascinating and awesome.
No, no, it's on true.
Number three, my natural voice is a deep baritone.
I'll have Barry White. I don't know what he's talking about.
I mean, guys, I don't know.
Number four, I have confusing dreams involving the flop house house cat. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Now I know I'm probably
protesting this right now in my affected high-pitched voice, but rest assured I'm just nervous. These are my true feelings and a
Reckle me to hold me to them. Flop on since you're the Elliot Kaylen, PS.
Hey Dan, while you're reading this, can you give me a favor?
I'd like you to turn to me and say the following sentence
in a gravely voice.
Do you want to play a little game?
No!
Jigsaw!
He got me the only way he knows how by becoming me
in order to trap an Elliot, I have to become an Elliot.
When you stare at the abyss, the Elliott stairs back.
We who hunt Elliott's become Elliott's ourselves.
Well, me, that was an interesting letter.
Totally incorrect.
I must have written it either on Backward's Day or Nega Elliott, the evil Elliott
from another mirror dimension wrote it.
Sure.
That's the evil dimension where Elliott thinks my brother is interesting.
Bizarre.
Bizarre. Bazzelli.
And Gerard Butler doesn't start any movies.
Well, he starts in good movies in the in the evil universe.
Oh, but wait, I don't get the wait.
What are the rules of evil universe?
It's just opposite stuff.
Okay.
So he stars in really good books.
He's the opposite of movies.
I'm not everybody's real to be opposite of movies. Not every word is real.
No, man.
Yeah, and he's Brazilian, because that's the opposite Scottish.
So when you invite people into your house, they go outside of your house.
And you say, you say bad bye.
When you mean hello.
You say, have a bad night instead of have a nice day.
And you say, have a no.
When you mean goodbye, because heaven is the opposite of hell.
Okay.
Yeah.
And you eat pasta made by chef man, R.D.
I guess we chef girl.
Girl, I do.
So, well,
let's get that we established those rules.
For the very worst.
So what are we doing now, stuff we should recommend quickly quickly now quickly
Quickly down under that watch for recently
Alan Rickman not recently if we don't have a good one
Recommend movies that we actually enjoyed
An Alan Rickman directs porn movies. That's the name we use is
Adam or actman Adam Shank porn movies that's the name of the at a more act and
and shankman
uh... movies that actually enjoyed
yeah
and i'm ready to look at us first
i'll go uh... the way because i only have one line on planes a lot lately
no i have not but i i was on vacation for a couple weeks and i didn't have a
chance to see a lot of movies but one thing that i did see wall in the road
that i enjoyed was uh was the world's end.
I like that too.
The conclusion of the Cornetto trilogy, the Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, Nick Prost, film,
a movie that I initially kind of ranked as my least favorite of the three, just because
I thought it was the least funny, but upon reflection, kind of is climbing up in my estimation.
Yeah.
It has a lot of genuine emotional content
that I kind of respect.
And I feel like the thing that kind of made,
gave me the biggest problem was there's a weird left turn
kind of the movie takes at the very end of the film.
That I wasn't necessarily sure I was gonna go along with,
but I've read some things on the internet
that have kind of made me think,
maybe I would appreciate it more.
On a second feeling.
On a second feeling.
Yeah, that's a legend.
So the legend.
And the ending didn't quite work for me,
but it enough, you know, I was terrible.
In some ways I think it was my favorite of the three,
but. I feel like of the three movies,
that's the one that if you took all the crazy stuff out,
it is the most interesting and hold together.
I agree.
And Simon Pegg's performance in it is fantastic.
Yeah.
Yeah, I agree.
I think it's the best of his work.
I'm going to recommend a movie called The Place Me on the Pines.
Oh, I just watched that on a plane.
What am I doing?
What's been a long flight?
It was, it was 10 hours, but it was business class on Turkish Air.
Sweet, I had a chair that turns into a bed.
No kidding.
It was awesome.
And a chair back huka.
No, that's a stereotype.
Yep, and he slept on a fucking pedabrid.
Yeah, they just fed me Turkish delight. No, that's stereotype. Yep, and he slept on a fucking Peter bread. Yeah.
Yeah, they just fed me Turkish delight.
It was a delight.
Now that I will say, as soon as the first class,
as the business class flight takes off, they give you a bag of toiletries that's a really
nice bag and with real nice toiletries and then a good diver chocolate.
And it's like, now you're just rubbing it in that I'm in business class. Like, just free candy right off the bat.
Anyway, I wasn't paying, so that's why I could fly that way.
But the point is place behind the fine.
Yeah, the fine's.
Fine the pines.
The place.
The place in the pine salt.
Place adjacent to the pine.
The place in the pine region.
Pine Gnakedi, New York, basically.
It's just place beyond the pines.
Sure. It's the second collaboration between Ryan Gosling and I got the director whose name I'm not gonna do about.
Yeah, from Blue Valentine. Let's just calm blue. Um, I would recommend it. If you like, I don't know like a slow paced, uh, sell it. Okay, if you like Ryan Gosling's abs and you like bank robberies, you also like confused
protagonist.
You like motorcycle stuns inside of round cages.
It's like an intergenerational story.
It's hard to talk about, I feel, without ruining elements of it for a person.
Yeah, it's best not to know the plot. But a big part of it is that there's a lot of kind of
awkward scenes and I guess characters
with questionable morals and ethics put in positions
where they have to make choices they don't want to necessarily.
Do not watch it if you want something
that's going to be very straightforward
or you don't like things that are slightly overwrought.
Do watch it if you like kind of slow movies that take place in Scenectomy, New York.
That place take place near Pines.
Yeah.
Or beyond them as the case movie.
Yeah.
Now, I'll recommend my movie as quickly as I can.
This is I'm going to recommend a movie.
People who listen to these in sequence are going to think I only watch
France watch throughaut movies,
not realizing it's been like a month since our last episode,
but I watch one recently that I like a lot
on their Francois Truffaut, called The Story of Adele H,
which is when I was not familiar with it all
before I started watching it.
But it's a combination of two things I like,
Francois Truffaut and Isabella Johnny,
in her first major role, as a a woman a french woman who has become
is in love with someone say become obsessed with
and english soldier in the eighteen sixty is who she's fallen love with
uh... and he has been restatio to howl fact howl facts
and she on her own travels to howl facts and tries to win him back with increasingly
insane
behavior basically while becoming more and more obsessed
in building this fantasy life around her.
And she herself comes from a, I don't
want to give away who she is, even though most descriptions
of the movie give away, but she comes from a very privileged
background, and this plays into it.
But the main thing about it is
uh... french watchful doing like a color
historical costume film which is something you don't see from him very much
and what he does with it is interesting but also that is a bell a johnny
gives
one of her
kind of
classic throwing herself completely into a perform into a role performances
kind of like in
possession the crazy movie where she leaves her husband,
Sam Neill for a green tentacle monster,
where she is just totally allows herself
to be totally vulnerable and open in front of the camera
and takes herself to really intense places.
And it's just a really fantastic,
like brutal performance, much of the time.
This is a woman who really feels like
she's going insane before our eyes.
But it's good, the story of Adele H.
Yeah, so this was some good recommendations. I want to say before we go though.
What do you say? Where's this going?
Well, listen, it should stay tuned.
Oh, the movie with John Ritter? Stay tuned?
Yeah, well, I mean, I think it's kind of nice.
It's kind of nice.
Mom and dad save the word. I mean
you know stay tuned as a nice check Jones directed segment but that's not what I was saying. And
Jeffrey Jones is in it when it was still okay to like him. I'm saying stay tuned to the end of
this podcast because we're gonna debut a little treat or some kind? A little treat. A little song.
A little song that you guys are looking at me. dare say, if this song had debuted at the beginning of the
summer, it would be the song at the summer.
Forget blurred lines.
Forget all night or whatever it was called.
Yeah, for all night.
To get lucky.
Get lucky.
The deaf punk song.
Forget the Miley Cyrus one where she's on a wrecking ball and she's nude.
Yeah.
Forget the other Miley Cyrus one where she's like rubbing her butt against things.
This would be the song of the summer
The VMAs were asking me if they could debut it there, but I said no, no, no, yeah, flop house first
