I'm Dan McCoy. No, no, no, okay. We did this already and you're wrong. So what we do in this podcast is we watch a bad movie and then we chat about it with you. Well, not with you because you can't chat back, but I mean you can if you want. Well, in a way, we could say that they are very rudely eavesdropping on a conversation between three friends. Sure. You feel bad. He or maybe you feel turned on. Wait, what? You're your warriors. Because you just made it sexy all of us.

Because seduction is the ultimate sexiness. Yep. This is the second second episode in Shocktober. Shocktober. Shocktober. 2013. Official Shocktober. 2013. AD. The scariest type of year.

The D stands for D. Not really, no, it doesn't. It stands for Dominic. Can you do that? I mean, it's death, right? No, it means Lord. It's our Lord. Not mine, though.

I reject the divinity of Christ Like a one pile Or a Frankenstein's monster Or oh, so you're saying remonsters is that it damn I'm sorry I can say that I'm both Jewish and a monster. It's okay for me to say it. Hey guys. What if what if Woody Allen was one of those monsters like wait Wait, wait, wait Hello, my name is to Woody Allen I'm totally well. I had such a piece of cake this one time reminds me of a People's relationships so weird y'all

Okay, that's more of a video I don't know why the cake would come here the first thing was more like I'm a naughty little boy I had so much chocolate cake when no one was looking all speech please Nana yummy East me Blue Dianne yeah you guys are great Sassy is the boy childhood in the world he should be in America's favorite neurotic.

There was a sketch I wanted to do years ago about a character named Woody Allen Swiggan, who was Nazi Germany's favorite comedian, but he's just Woody Allen. It was just an excuse to do Nazi jokes in a Woody Allen voice. Terrible. Which we need, I think you need written permission from your parents to do those. Yeah, because for the school can let me do it. Yeah. So what, October, Delight, did we listen to tonight? Well, we listen to an old radio show. We did nothing but listen to Arch-Overs lights out. It was a war of the world. The classic Orson Wells broadcast. I wish I loved that broadcast.

I love the first half of that bride cast. Second half when it gets super scary, Elliot hides under the covers. Yep, yeah. No, we watched a movie called The Purge. The Purge. The Purge government shutdown. Yeah, it was really timely,

because hey, now while you're listening to this government, we'll hopefully not be shut down anymore. I mean, because the Iran Williams a deal has been struck i believe uh... but right now it's still struck shut down and it's kind of timely with this movie where america after an un

explained period of being in shambles has called its way back to economic strength peace prosperity and low crime rates through the institution of the purge. Okay. That sounds ominous. One night a year when all crime is legal.

Does that include murder? Yes. As the government announcement made on television says, all crimes including murder. Not legal. I believe that. I don't think that they like high point. I mean, what would be higher than that? Treason?

I don't think it. Yes. And treason is not legal on the purge Well, maybe I don't know it seems like maybe the government didn't need to announce that that includes murder because it seems like That's the only crime anyone's interested in moving Well, yeah, you don't see any looting. You don't see any raping. Thank you. No, leaving. We don't see any thieving We don't see any jaywalking We don't see any feaving. We don't see any J walking No, it's a little bit more

A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more

A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more

A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more A little bit more No, but he's chewing the scenery. Nobody opens a business in a residential zone district. Nobody drives a truck without a class D license. hilarious what they did during the purge. It's like, all right, we've built this business.

We've waited to open it until the purge. And then we're going to get grandfathered in. Like the cops pull someone over who's driving. This license says you need glasses. Not tonight, copper. You can't touch me. I'm a... So I'm Scott Free. That's my name.

Somebody orders a giant submarine sandwich and the guy preparing it takes the latex gloves off. Whoa, well that's company policy. That's not a law. You can be fired for that even during the course. That's a single life email place. Yeah, there's a scene with people just tearing their hair and that's off. No, that's a hand that rocks the cradle

as the movie that opens with the guy taking latex gloves off. Okay. This is the latex gloves, Cass. Every time I take latex gloves off, that's what I think of a movie where Ernie has seen some slow, loud gloves. Because I think of like mad scientists taking,

like with the rubber gloves on. No, I think about that. And what do always think that I am a gynecologist about to horribly do something. Okay, anyway, it's a terrible insight into you. It's shocked over dude. All rule it. They're shocked to me. All rules are off. Through some sort of unexplained purge effect, crime is low and unemployment is low. It seems mainly because so many poor people are killed during the per they kind of dance around saying that the rich kill the poor during

the purge and that's how America has regained its strength. I mean, all right. I'm already taking issue with the stupid premise of this movie, but I'm going to the dumb part of the premise. No, but this was instituted by a mysterious government group called the new founding fathers and everyone's super religious about it. They keep saying, blessed called the new founding fathers and everyone's super religious about it They keep saying blessed be the new founding fathers and it's like yeah, we got it You don't have to hit it over the head with the right wing whatever like cartoony stuff like just make it a purge They don't have to be religious fanatics who love the founding fathers But also for the purposes of this movie. I'm willing to buy like you know

You talk about having like a big buy in movies like I'm willing to buy the premise like I'll be willing to for the purposes of this movie, I'm willing to buy, you know, you talk about having like a big buy in movies, like I'm willing to buy the premise, like I will be willing to buy the idea of like, okay, crime rate is low because we have crime one night a year. But once you get into like, and we're economic prosperity is back, because we get crime, like that is totally not so. Well, even the idea that crime is down,

you know, people give gifts other nights than Christmas. Yeah. Just because there's one gift giving night doesn't mean you don't get gifts other nights but just because valentine's day comes once a year doesn't mean known as sex other nights sure but that all hold on but if you save it up you'll be able to marry guys over here but killing the poor doesn't suddenly solve all of our economic problems that just believe that I believe there's a dead Kennedy song that says otherwise means that suddenly there's no one willing to work low wage jobs yeah it does seem like you would immediately there's a big robot running all

now if they had just robots other than the burnt baby doll attached to a robot truck which I can all look at that is just the tip of the robot iceberg that this movie is of the robot iceberg that this movie is hinting a robot iceberg. It's a sort of roboberg or floating around murdering Titanic ice bot. Murdered right? But one night a year murdering Titanic is legal. All right, so we've danced around it. We should get into the more what the happens.

It's an opposite. I mean, so the movie opens with like a credits role explaining that the purge that explained the purge and the economic prosperity Instead of of course like showing us this I mean like the thing is it doesn't need it because later on there's like the emergency broadcast thing that totally explains what the purge is I think so they don't want people to sit down in the theater and be like what the fuck movie watching I thought I was watching their camera zoom. There is a, I was watching here comes the purge. But this is an ice purge, the animated film.

With Ray Romano, he's hilarious. I thought it's not purgitar. You know, they go to another planet, they purge things. So here's, I guess, here's a common thread we've seen in a lot of bad movies in this podcast, which is explaining the premise of the world right at the top so that every moron in the audience gets it right away, including these three morons. Yes, including us three morons right here sitting with our dumb microphones being stupid. And the mouthful of pop.

Hey, hey, hey, guys, the microphones aren't dumb. Sorry, sorry microphones. But it seems like almost every movie or book or TV show set in like another world is better when it allows you to discover the rules of the world. Like just look at any good episode of the Twilight Zone. It's very rare that Rod Cirling just comes out in the beginning and says like, by the way, this is a world where people live on

another planet. It's not Earth, but you'll find out they go to Earth at the end. Or like, here's those aren't masks. They're all monster faces. So will they become monster faces? They're the masks. But wait, what? Spoiler alert, Vryth, Twilight's Webisode.

We're like, let's submit it for your approval. A world where beautiful is the norm because people change the appearances, but one girl thinks otherwise and she'll be proved wrong at the end. Oops, did I spoil it? Welcome to the spoiling zone. It seems like nothing is made better by having it explain to you at the top. Even and people would point to maybe what like Star Wars, but that tells you almost nothing at the top.

It tells you that nothing at the top. It tells you that there's bad guys and some rebels are fighting them and that's about it. And then that a death star exists. But anyway. Yeah, but I mean, like, I think you brought up the example of the movie version of the Golden Compass telling you everything about it. Whereas in the book, they don't tell you about it.

In the book, it involves like a beautiful onion. It looks like it's like, yes. Well, I would say more like a flower unfolding in blossoming. But like, you know, not evolving roots. No, not evolving onion. You know, I mean, I guess walks on high plates and gets thumbs.

You haven't learned to use rudimentary tools. But anyway, the plot of the purge, so we see a lot of people getting ready for the purge, which seems to mainly involve putting flowers in front of their house, which I didn't understand with the point of place. And the n the neighbors are sharpening your shetties. And now we're in a wealthy neighborhood where Ethan Hawke, a seller of security systems for homes, is joining his wife, Lena Heady, from the villain from Dredd.

Yeah, sure, that's where you belong. That's all she's ever been to. Mostly nowhere from. That's the most recent thing I saw in. What else does she do? What else does she do? What else does she do? Oh, yeah, that's all she's ever seen over from it's the most recent thing I saw in okay, what else she do Yeah, that's right Sarah Connor from the Sarah TV Sarah Connor Chronicles. Oh, I forgot she played Sarah Connor in the Sarah Connor Chronicles Mm-hmm terminator TV is I call it? The two talking to your wife about Terminator TV. Yeah, what are they gonna bring back Terminator TV?

I mean they like always with the Terminator TV. I mean, I'm just saying they jumped to that other dimension at the end. What happened? So the people are hanging out. I actually didn't know she played for the first time. I don't watch the Game of Thrones series. Just, you know, even Hawks made a fucking man. Even though, even though, there's one night of year

when people need security. Well, Ethan Hawks, but you really need it. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I mean anything goes selling security to everybody on his block. And the people in the neighborhood are not happy about it. And the one of the women says to Lena Heady, oh, we kind of she basically comes out and says, we hate you because you, but we all bought security from you. And then you built this huge addition on your house. And they have some cookies. They say the name of your... It disappears for most of the movie

and you're like, she's gonna come back and try to come back. She has to come back, because they have... Those cookies have like shurikens in them or something. Well, it's just like the, it's like the, was it praelian surprise or something like that? And they money by the way, they're on top sweet and sweet springs.

Spring, spring surprise. Yeah, spring. Two shop springs. Plunge to the cheeks. Well, there wouldn't be a surprise. sweet meat spring spring surprise yeah that's who shop springs plunge to the cheeks it would be a surprise we use only the finest Iraqi frogs uh... anyway money python look at up to the

yeah so but there's everyone's getting ready for the purge uh... vietnam has two kids a teenage girl who wears a school a catholic school girls out for the whole movie and you think that were pervers're perversalids for bringing it up, but this is clearly like, this is like fetish wear. This is, she is wearing like the full like blouse with like a neck tie and short. And then the skirt, without like the shorts under the skirt that girls actually wear in real life. All she's myth in it missing is like a katana and a tentacle rave in her.

Am I right guys? Okay. That's where I was going. No, no, no, thank you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no the course light in your mouth and that's saying these crazy things. Take your feet out of your mouth and put some delicious course light in there. I think that's the new catch. You got 16 ounces to get through. So course light, please give us some money for that advertisement. Take your feet out of your mouth. It's a delicious course lunch in the Hey Stewart.

Take your feet out of your mouth. People implying that the people who drink your beer are weird tentacle fetishists who find their terror on the sexy. I'm glad that you're making judgment calls on tentacle fetishists who find a terrible under the sexy i'm glad that you're making judgment calls on technical fetishes you're right because my fetish of human women who have sex with men it's really crazy my naked lady fetish is really weird so i was watching that i did watch a scene from

possession on uh... earlier today so what you're suggesting is that it today was a purge i would be within my rights to totally just purge you all over the place. Yeah, you could just kill me all over. So anyway, they have a son who is who is like a cool dude. He's a sun glass specialist. All most of what we know is he wears these super cool black shades that are hooked up to a camera that he put into a

mo-controlled device that is, it's a mo-control car tank that he put like a half-burned baby doll on a remote control car tank that he put like a half burnt baby doll on it looks like one of the baby from from the story it looks like one of Sid's monsters from toy story the first one yeah yeah but he but whenever he uses it he puts on this these these cool shades and there's so many shots of just this kid sitting there no expression on his face sunglasses on it looks like he's he's pretending to be Tom Cruise or something. He's getting ready for a max cell commercial. But the thing is it allows him to initiate

the mind machine interface. Of course. Yeah, I mean, that's super simple. He's normal mancing, yeah. So even though the purchase starting, sexy daughter has her boyfriend. A boyfriend who's an older guy, but like a couple of years, they both look like high school students.

I think they're both in high school. I mean, I think they're in the movie there in the high school, but in the high school. They're in the high school. The kids in the high school these days, am I right? Well, with the learning and the books. Yeah, they're going to purge H.S. later on to go to purge you. And that's the other thing, the sun is like, we learned about the purge in history today. It's like, all right, let's stop right there.'s what at most what 10 years of history and this is like this is they set up a nation where everything is about the purge

Like all anyone talks about is the purge and I know the purge day But on Christmas and movie dude on Christmas and Halloween People talk about The mainly talking about when he goes to jail now there that there's the part where he's chewing on the pan, when he's in the jury's duty box. That's really hilarious, dude. And at the end when he's a electricity powers, which is really amazing.

That was the best turn of movie history. I think so. That was the audition of Ernest Williams. Wes Craven's start. I didn't think he was going to turn into a superhero at the end. So but everyone talks about the purge. America is all about the purge. They love it. Everything on TV and the radio is not a pur on tv and the media but they've put this purge into place

pretty fast considering how not far in the future this movie is become a real home or holiday yet no all the purge that's just another excuse to sell greeting cards and kill people but uh... so they're all getting they eat in a hawk is like we're all gonna sit at home every like every year we're just gonna close. The metal barriers and watch TV because on TV they just air random surveillance footage

of people getting murdered all over the country. Sure. And it's one of those things also where you're like, let's say I buy the premise that one night a year crime is okay and a large number of people get involved. I don't think everybody in the country is gonna wanna watch it on TV. Like they'll probably just wanna stick

with the regular CBS lineup. Yeah, but I mean, you know, you know. You probably don't have an option. It's probably preempted. It might just be. They'll, I would think that they're missing out on a lot of primo bucks from advertisers, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They, their networks hate it. Economic superiority, I don't think so. It's probably, you know, you can probably like turn to PBS and watch John Tashit Red Rocks. That's kind of like I'll get me in the mood to purge. There's a thing that used to happen in Soviet Russia where whenever there was trouble like in the 80s when they were and I think in the 70s when there was trouble in the country like protests, they would just airs or like the if the Secretary General of the University, the head of the party and died, they would just run the same performance of Swan Lake over and over again on TV. And so I wonder if

John Tessha Red Rocks is like that in the purge even worse, where we're like something big must be going on. Red Rocks is on. Yep, so pay it for the masses. piano, beautiful canyonsetting. So anyway, the purge, there's not much of a plot and there's no, there is. Ethan Hawke, let's call it. Well, the way that kids in the house is important to know.

The Ethan Hawke shuts down the thing and they're all hanging out. The family does not really get along. We have one of those family dinner scenes where Ethan Hawke is like, kids, be serious. Tell me about your day. Just give them each other a dance. And. Don't give me each other dance. And the kids like, the kids do give each other

defs. And like the boy kids like, dad, why the purge? And Ethan's like the purge is important. It's necessary. It's what made our country great again. But you and mom don't purge. Yeah, what if we wanted to kill people, we would. We just don't want to.

OK, then a guy starts running into the neighborhood a black guy Obviously bloodied on the run going help me help me in homeless right well we find out he's homeless We doesn't look homeless help me someone save me like he doesn't have like bags for shoes So he's like like a John Rambo style. Yeah, yeah, exactly. He doesn't walk into the neighborhood and goes I'm sorry to ruin anybody's purge. I am homeless. I'm just looking for safety and maybe a sandwich. Please, God bless you if anyone can leave me and you're having your lunch.

You can let me into your house or give me some food. And then he shuffles through down the neighborhood. Anybody, anybody, anybody. And then when nobody gives him anything, he goes to the next neighborhood. He checks his office. That's Elliot Kaelin. Elliot Kaelin being heartless about the homeless.

Come on. I give to the homeless all the time. I live, a lot of my commutes are interrupted by homeless people or mariachi bands. That's true. I'd much rather be confronted with a homeless person than a mariachi band in the morning. Yeah. And not a handout. The worst.

The worst is homeless mariachi bands. They had to pawn their instruments. They just make the noises with their mouths. So sad. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, that kind of stuff. Anyway. So shaking, Maracas, they shake bottles

of their own urine. It's terrible. It doesn't really get the same sound. It's horrible. I mean, are you getting, Dan, when you shake a bottle of your urine, does it make like a, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,

sound like a Maraca? I'm paying peas. What? Oh boy, Dan, your bladder should Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh- the rest of the minimal plot in this so this homeless guy runs out please get anyone help me and everyone's ignoring them except the sun feels bad for me feels compassion disarms the house the homeless guy runs in Ethan Hawks like what are you doing puts the shutters down on the house again and then a team of cartoonishly preppy evil cart you know just it's like these like a bunch of college kids who watched Americano too many times, throw up in their preppy suits with school jackets and say like, we were chasing that filthy, poor pig,

that homeless swine. He were supposed to kill him for our nation's purge and you're stopping us. So if you don't let him out, we're going to go in there and kill your whole family. Yeah. It's like if the guys from funny games had sex with the joker and had a baby exactly yeah but I think even then a bunch of babies and the baby was like way less charismatic than anybody who is in funny games or he or Keith ledger as the key ledger thing I think even before the jayster is the jayster

even before that happen though what we have is a a standoff like Ethan Hawks sees this this unkempt black man in his home is like why you do this and he's got his gun out and then the boyfriend comes downstairs and shoots at eithon hawk because twist he's the real danger at this point the movie at least and wants to kill you the hawk for keeping him away from his hot teenage school

but even get even get even sleep with her before he attempted to kill her dad. I would think he would try and sleep. And what's weird though is that, well, except for... I'm generally, what's weird, but you need that extra boost to confidence. She's taking her clothes off and they're making out and then he stops and is like, uh, I gotta go talk to your dad. Like, I want to be really rage-filled when I convert your dad with bullets. Much like Jake Lamata in raging bull.

I like to get my libido up and then deny myself. So I got that much more anger and power for the fights. Like wearing a hair shirt, but for my balls, it's like Bolzerum. He feels like having sex drains his energy and he might not be able to shoot as well. So he's got to have a, yeah. I'm not targeting with him.

I'm gonna have to say it. I'm gonna have to shoot him. He looks like he's seen Boulder in a couple of months. Yeah. But uh, he had that Boulder look, or BDL, as we say, except it didn't help him with his aim as he missed. And he then ought to only shoot a fight until he was dead. Yeah.

But that was enough of a distraction for the homeless guy to escape into the cavernous house. To the bout was of the mansion. And for a long time, it's so the the preppy kids cut the power and for a long time It's just Ethan hawk and Lena heady just wandering through this dark house looking for this homeless guy and not finding him and nothing happened And that's what's great is this this unique sense of geography around every corner is just a nice corner Yeah, it's like a veritable house of leaves. It's real. It's non-uclidean geometry. They built this thing on. And they had gone mad gazing on the house from the purge.

The daughter also, like coffee, cyclophe informs. The daughter also disappears into the shadows for no particular reason. What is the mother-age fee? Lovecraft words. No, no. But the daughter disappears for a long time. Yeah, and it would make sense.

In the measma. It would make a little sense if she was like, bitterly mad at her dad for shooting her boyfriend. But no, she like immediately is like, why did my boyfriend shoot my dad and like felt bad about it? But there's no reason then why she should like, slink off into the shadows and things. You have to go find herself upon the spires of you.

Yeah, I guess. Right. Yeah, she was going on a dream quest you. Yeah, I guess. Right. Yeah, she was going on a dream question unknown, Kadef. Anyway, so there's everyone separating. The point is they're all looking for this guy eventually. Yeah, that's the amp up the tension. That's called directing. Directing provided by James, James D'Monaco.

Something like that. D'Monaco, like D'Monaco. D'Monaco. D'Monaco. D'Monaco. And our Stuart says, yes, say it again. D'Monaco. demonico something like that demonico like like Monaco or a Stuart says yes say it again demonic oh Damn Daniel like it You seem like you went into a fugue state for a second. Are you quantum leaping? I appear to be in front of some microphones

Some sort of podcast Must be some kind of midnight sex talk radio show. Anyway, I'll begin. So here's my craziest story. I was watching my two best friends have sex for some reason. And they had sex in a very particular way. Here, I think we might have talked about the movies where it's they've taken like a cinemax TV show,

and they've cut up the scenes and made it a movie, and they're like Yeah, like so a friend of mine and Tell me the craziest story and then it just is all to a sex scene Okay, two people having sex so isn't it? It's not crazy, but I was like how are you describing this? So No, but I'm like it's not a story like there's nothing to tell

Then so then there was some reverse cowgirl Yeah, exactly then he was behind he was behind her for a little bit But then she was on the bottom again and then she was in a space where it kind of looked like she was giving him oral But it wouldn't be it didn't line up quite right looked more like she was like bobbing her head against his thigh It's kind of like the oral sex and the is the new black. Am I right guys? I haven't watched that. Sure. Come on. Netflix originals.

So I, eventually, and another Mexican standoff, no offense to Mexicans listening, where the homeless man has his gun against the little boy's head. Was the daughter? No, the daughter's head. It doesn't matter. And he looks like a little kid. He's got long hair. He looks like Hanson. is that long hair looks like handsome

and the and the bad guy looks like grown up handsome they look like members and it's like and if this movie is a looper and they're like crazy hands and what a twist what's great about that twist is they never reveal it in the movie yeah it's extra time to You gotta pluzzle it out. It's not canon. It's not purge canon. But in your purge fanfic, anyway. By the way, you can't use a canon in the purge. It's a last five. Yeah, you're not allowed to hire in the class for a weapon. And certain government officials are considered immune to the purge.

So you imagine the purge is just... Which is not really fit within the scope of the purge. The president is just strolling down the street. Well, there's murder stuff. And so on. He's got his president. He's got his president badge out. down the street. Well, there's murder. And so I'm going to try to. It's president bad.

Shout. Look at it. He's wearing a sash that says president. One thing that I do think that we shouldn't gloss over those while I was just going to say the mom sneaks up shoots the homeless guy. So now the homeless guys that they're mercy. Anyway, yeah, but while they're waiting for the homeless guy outside all of these evil, this evil gang is just doing stereotypical horror movies

They're all wearing masks that have big smiley faces not like smiley. They don't look like a fat man's belt This is in the middle of the purge they all look like the mask where no one would have to wear a mask to commit a crime Because it's not illegal to commit crimes. It's not nearly scary enough to have a normal And they're just like staring into into the surveillance cameras, kind of turning their heads and the two lady masks make out for a second for some reason. They're dressed in like old time, he ghost fashion. Yeah, one of them swings on the old time swing set. It's possible that the people have that

fucking swing. It's for shit. Ghost shit. In the year 25, in the year 2025 swings are back. Okay. Part of the purge is that people love swings. Cell phone use down baby robots and swings. Yeah. This is also one of those movies and it shouldn't bother me as much as it does. It's 12 years into the future and everybody dresses exactly the same and still uses iPads.

Like every technology and clothes are still this just make it 2015. I guess there's a brief dark age. I do like it. So in that 12 years they went back to barbaric times and they've only brought themselves up to the new fashion 13. Clothes fashion out of auto parts in street sucks. Or as they call them demon characters. I see what you're saying.

Do you have the black blood that feeds the demon characters? I prefer that to like them having like fucking hover cars all of a sudden. I see what you're saying. Do you have the black blood that feeds the demon carriages? I prefer that to like them having like fucking hover cars all of a sudden and it's just like how did that happen? It's just like don't say it's the year 2025, you know. Little boots, giant shoulder pads, spiky hair. Yeah, you gotta give them some time to get this purge up and run.

It feels intense. Feels intense. I'm not gonna believe that they have this. They can only have the purge in two years from now. Now, now 12 years from now. I wouldn't know. We're gonna have a perjure guys. Okay, so and and also the fact that. It's our perjure too if fashion never changed. What? I don't know if it means. I organize a vote for a perjure thing. Anyway, let me just finish this stupid movie real quick. So, So there so Ethan Hawke is gonna deliver the homeless guy up to the bad guys and They're tying him up with with tape and he's about to escape so he tells Lena Hetty

Oh, I can't hold him for too long. There's a night. There's a letter. Open on my desk Stab him in his wound with it and before this even all can't just hit him in the head of the vase and knocked him out Why didn't they just hit him again? And so instead his wife is... That's a priceless Ming vase, Ellie. They didn't want to do it too. It did, it did. So instead his wife is stabbing him in the wound with a letter opener. And the kids are...

So, hitting the reset button with the Mingos. Horrified, except the son kind of looks like he's enjoying it. He's getting out. They tie him up again and then there's more taunting from the villain. And then the homeless guy says, no, save your family. Like put me out there sacrifice me and that in Ethan Hawke awakens the opposite feeling of what am I doing this is crazy he refuses to send the homeless guy out the preppy bad guys come in and are supposedly invading the house but Ethan Hawke kills almost all of

them pretty easily. He's a very short home invasion like the actual home invasion part of this movie takes very little time. Yeah, I mean, this movie is less than 90 minutes and I think the actual home invasion is probably 20 minutes of it. But the best part about the home invasion is that's when the movie cranks up the special effects

of using the art of computer technology. And what are those computers rendering? Is it perhaps something that looks real when it comes to the order? I'm sure of course, but it's got to be over the top action, because that's what I've come to expect to know. So there is, there is gloopy animated blood that bursts out of people's bodies. I want to got to be standing pretty still for a while while like three or four bullets

hit him before he just slumps over dead. Yeah, just like real life. Yeah. Anyway, he shoots a bunch of people. There's some fighting, but then the preppy bad guy trick, uh, surprise Ethan Hawke and stabs him in the stomach. He's surprised to. Uh, dies eventually, but then what happens? I don't even remember what happens to the preppy bad guy is gunned down by his neighbors. Oh, right. The neighbors like the seventh turn around the neighbors show up up and we see this like four times in a row, a bad guy about to kill

one of our heroes and they're like tickling our hero to death. And then a neighbor getting shooting them. Yeah, the first time a man and woman preppy are holding down the wife and she's going, no, no, and then the girl decides to tickle the wife for a little bit and then takes out a huge sword. But it's like, that was the one creepy moment in the home movies when she just starts tickling her because it's like, that's a weird thing for a killer to suddenly do.

It's a weird, weirdly playful moment. Yeah, kind of intimate. And that's what I'm talking about. Right Dan, yeah, you know it. This guy just stands. No, but we see the neighbors get the drop on the bad guys like four times. After the first- They're like, oh no or here is your telling murdered

now and then the the they go oh thank you and the numbers go oh no now we didn't we wanted to kill you because we hate you so much and because of money you stole all our money you took all our money because i guess we were first

to buy security for our money returned for services rendered. And then you built your house. And even though we're all rich and have mansions, we're mad at you for having a bigger mansion. And then they talked for a while. Isn't that the way though, right? And then I was in your neighbor's stuff. We haven't seen it a while.

That little remote control car with the burn baby doll on it comes by just a diversion. Homeless guy gets the drop on him, makes their drop their weapons. And the wife says, okay, now we're're gonna sit and wait out the rest of the night with no killing yeah cut to a couple minutes before the purge is over they're just sitting around the dining room table and the one of the women who brought women who brought by cookies earlier and told Lena Hetty how much everybody hated them like makes a move and lead a head he just smashes or face into the table. And for the first time, for a walk, this isn't the idea, it's like fake blood, like physical blood, and if it looks like barbecue sauce,

it's just pouring out of her face. It's sure, maybe, maybe in the future, people's blood doubles as barbecue sauce. Hey, it's the purge, man, anything can happen. It's actually subtext, right? And the siren goes off and the purge is over the and the visuals come and drag off the body and clean everybody up because they got a lot of clean in to do now hold on I got it jinx one of the bylaw you can't talk okay you all

am a coke to okay yeah one of the things that bothers me I forgot the jigsaws no longer apply for the verge there many things apply even jinks Every crime is legal even talking when you're from from space camp Just say what you're gonna say okay You said they said it out no that's what finally shut you up. It's me referencing jinks from space. Yeah No, I like I know that we're some of the things for brains to say it the idea is oh without no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no about to kill us all. Wait, stop. No killing. No, we're gonna wait this out. We're gonna sit at the kitchen table. Stuart said something while we watched the movie was about movies that set up a fake, well you said so often movies set up a fake premise,

like some kind of crazy premise where, for example, a purge or there's a lottery. Yeah, or yeah, the whole point of the movie the whole message is like this stupid thing We invented is crazy. It's like I knew that it was crazy. You know what supposed to convince me? It wasn't crazy The premise of the movie is that this is a harm. We were a crazy thing happens Yeah, so why would you think I'm on board with it and you need to tell me where the crazy thing is bad Maybe humanity is the true monsters in this world where the purge exists. Why did we invent this stupid purge? Like, yeah, I don't know why you did it.

You didn't really explain it very well. You know, we don't do that in real life, right? And I think they're trying to make a point about classes praying on each other in the lack of compassion between economic groups, but instead it's just like, I think that like 20 years down the line, there's gonna be a purge and the movie will be

super popular, it's pollutionaries, all the Quattos. Amazingly, Preciant movie, The Purge. Really for Saul would have it, it's very popular among Quattos. But also, this is a movie, the future, Quattos are forced to live in Quattogettos Quattos are forced to become outlaw. But there is a legend of a chosen Quatto who will lead us people to Quatto freedom

But also like aside from its failure as an allegory just because it is like a thing where like oh we set up a crazy world where Man is inhumane because man is inhumane That's kind of stolen from an old Star Trek episode But also like it I don't think it's even making, like within its world, it's message is so confused because what I take away from this movie is, yeah, that kid totally shouldn't have opened up the door and let that guy in.

Isn't that a bunch of trouble? Yeah, everyone died because of that. Compassion is a bad idea. Yeah, maybe that was the real, it's a pretty strange way. The most exciting way is if you're gonna come up with an armored house, you need to have some kind of like attack like weapon to shoot people that come to your front door.

Uh, like some kind of like gas dispenser. Like a hydro. Have like a panic room inside your house. Don't you have one level? Come on. If the movie panic room taught me anything, it's that panic rooms are awesome. It's a Kristen Stewart was gonna be our next star.

Which he was in panic for the daughter. You know, that's Jody Foster, you're thinking, you're thinking of them all. Jody Foster played someone's daughter. Every woman is someone's daughter, Dan. Remember that next time you're getting a lap dance, you purve. Anyway, here's the problem also.

I mean, my wife is also someone's daughter. I don't see what they, whoa, whoa, dude, why did you go there? That's crazy horrible, but I don't I don't know You know what you're kicked out. Yeah, I know it's the purge and all gross things We're in your flop house house keys, but Nice let's change the flop house I can change so even if even if the premise doesn't hold together If the movie was suspenseful or thrilling or scary, it would be a different,

I would be a different story. We wouldn't care because John Carpenter had made this crazy movie. If John Carpenter had made it, as you said, well, it's the movie, we have a great baseline. There'd be a sick baseline. The setup would take way longer. Like he would put way more effort in the setup, which is what this movie does. He'd build up the characters, but also the setup would be longer, but the scare stuff would be longer too. Like, there's a lot of filler in this movie, and it's like, it's a lot of like shots from the robot baby camera. Yeah, just wandering around.

Yeah, the filler would be clever banter, like Howard Hawks asked banter, rather than just like wandering halls. Yeah. And there's scary movies about wandering halls. Like House of the Devil is an incredibly scary movie that's mainly just a woman wandering around a house for like an hour.

With no obvious threat. Yeah, exactly, but it's really frightening. And the first moment when you just spoil something, the first moment when like there's evidence that there's someone else in this house is incredibly scary because they've built up this tension that's so scary beforehand. But in the purge, I don't really do any of that. You know, it's just kind of like pretty straightforward.

There's nothing scary. There's nothing. There's no cool scenes. There's no horrifying scenes. There's no... There's not enough effort made to make the killers seem like actual people and not crazy cartoon characters. Yeah. I think that we're hitting our time limit on the purge.

I'm just saying this movie should have been purged. Now, it's totally scare of fire. There are a lot of them. I mean, I think, I, okay. I was just gonna say it's unfair not to give it a couple, like there's a couple okay character moments. There's a couple, I don't know, but it's, no, it's not the worst movie.

It's not even the fucking thing that i was about to do which was final judgments sorry boss and we we're trying to give up his keys and he gets a man is you don't need to stop you don't need to stop me progressing to final judgments to give your final judge all we did is call you a pervain kick you out of the club and so be your matter what i was trying to say is this is the time now part of the club and so be your man when i was trying to say is this is the time of the movie where we this is the part of the podcast where we say if the movie was scarily snorkeling that's what he's looking for

or or or are finally bad good this movie or there's moon blood good totally scary fine totally snorifying or frighteningly funny story uh... totally snorifying or frighteningly funny Stewart Totally snorifying I guess I don't know I would probably say it's totally snorifying as I said like this is a really stupid premise It would be great if John Carbiner did it and it's not completely devoid. It's not the worst movie in the world No, there's occasional moments that are shot well,

and that kid looks so cool with those fucking sunglasses on, man. But it was called Shades Kid. It is about this. Just keep that kid away from those sunglasses. I say this is totally snorifying, and I'm harder on it than you, because it is a stupid premise, but it's stupid in the way that, oh, this could be fun if it was done in the right way.

Like, if you buy into the premise, then if the movie is well done, it could be fun. But the movie is the most wrote like, we're gonna have a bunch of people acting like crazy psychos even though what the clever thing about this is like, they don't have to. Yeah, they're normal human beings. Well, I mean, there's one shot of making like, watch them all, I don't know, smoke grass, do anything. Whatever the kids do. Whatever they like to do.

Well, it's similar to theirs that scene in Prometheus. Maltese, where there's the scene in Prometheus where the biologist and the geologist start touching the alien that they obviously shouldn't touch and they're acting a loopy. And it's like, well, all they needed was a shot that showed them smoking pot.

And the scene would make total sense. But they either cut that shot out or didn't include it. But here's my problem with the purge, ultimately, is this premise doesn't need the purge framework. If you had a movie where a family gives refuge to somebody who's bloody and on the run and there's a team of killers outside who want him and say, we're gonna come in and take him and kill you if you don't give him up.

Like you don't need the, it's not really a basic like Western premise kind of. Basically yeah, but it's not reliant on the purge framework. So if you're gonna introduce this idea of a night when all crime is legal, make it a story that's reliant on that, you know, like that really needs that to happen. Because otherwise what you're doing is not making the point you want to make, you know. And not just like a bad like Hunger Games meets home invasion story. Yeah, it's basically like Panic Room meets Hunger Games, you know. And that's, if you're going to do that, at least with the Hunger Games, they're doing things in it that you can't do in a world where there's no crazy government that has Hunger Games.

And at least with Panic Room, it's 10-set moments. Yeah. But like, if I was gonna do- At least you had David Fincher behind the- So I do totally snorfine, but if they did the purge too, and they gave it to like a better director. Wong Karwhi. Yeah. Have Wong Karwhi directed Robert Towne right it.

And you know what it should star? Is it too late to get the dead to share a mphoonie to me in it? Now that's a movie I'd see, purge two. But like, I think they're gonna do a sequel because this movie made a ton of money for its budget. And do a movie where like you couldn't have this story unless it was a world recrimous legal for 12 hours. Yeah, I don't know if they didn't like just

didn't have the budget and didn't want to spring for shots of places other than this one nice subdivision. But even then, like, if the movie was just about their neighbor's turn on them, that would be a different story. It should be about that, not this crazy preppy group, you know. Yeah. All right, well now is the time and the podcast where we read letters from listeners. Oh, that's cool.

That's a lot of house movie mailbags. It's usually unharbled by anything, right? No, usually it just kind of happens. And there's no sort of letters from listeners. Listening with letters. Already delayed that. Write us some words and we're going to read them. You're going to see that we're going to read them.

Oh, but you'll hear it. You won't really see it. But we'll read them. Read them. Read them. Read your letters. You won't really see it but we'll read them freedom freedom Letters letters is tape before a live studio audience Sit letters it's good letters you guys hear that fat baseline

His job is turned the room like something out of dream. Is the director of the fog in here? So this first letter is from Brian Lasting with Held. It's titled The original Castle Freak. Dearest floppers, thank you, Dan, for uttering greatest truth. I have to admit that during this Joel episode, when you mentioned the Nicholas Cage, the original Castle Freak, I had a Kaiser Soze moment where everything became clear. Let me explain. Both Nicholas Cage and the Castle Freak come from royalty of sorts, whether it be Duchess

or film royalty. Nicholas Cage turned his obsession with Elvis Presley into sexual attraction with the King's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, just like the Fre, Georgios obsession with his brother, Jeffrey Comus, become sexual with his blind daughter. Both are unable to run properly. Moonstruck cage cuts off his own hand and a brake slicer and the castle freak rips off his own thumb to get off the shackles.

The thumb looks like a ding dong. According to some, the thumb looks, it might have been a hand ding dong. We don't know that. Legend tells of a thumb that looks like a ding dong. According to some, the thumb looks, it might have been a hand ding dong. We don't know that. Not even tells of a thumb that looks like a ding dong. The castle freak befriends. My mother always told me of a thumb that looks like a ding dong. The castle freak befriends a prostitute, just like Mr. Cage in the leaving Las Vegas. The freak loves to physically assault women, but not as much as a Nick Cage and Wicker Man. Face off lets us know that the Nicholas, that, no, the Nicholas Cage. Whoa. Right. Face off lets us know that the Nicholas that know the Nicholas cage. Well, right.

Face off lets us know that Nicholas cage can eat a peach flowers. However, the castle freak has shown he can eat a girl out for just as long. And to seal the deal, we all know that the freaks of the of the freaks ding dong list. Ness. Also, it has been well established that when Nicholas cage turns into ghost riders, spirit of vengeance, his ding dong disappears. But he can still pee fire. Well, he says meaning both of them, you have to form their hands into a cylinder to pee in the stream. I've made my case. Yours and flop.

Ryan last name without. It's also clear. I think I'm going to throw up. Yeah. Okay. Really? Because of the thing that you brought up, an Elvern over again? He brought it up.

The Nicholas Cage has castle freak. Not. I'm going to throw up because of the movie Castle freak. That movie's fucking radical. Okay, I misunderstood. Chill out. Yeah, I believe you went to the slow your role. Why are we on each other?

We're on each other's throats tonight. It's almost like the purge is getting to us. I believe you went to the full moon features booth. And New York, I'm on the end. Booth 666. What? And I made a couple of purchases and I got my picture taken a bunch and they were really nice over there. Like because you were passing bad checks.

No, I got to get a picture to put it up next to the red. It was weird. Just people stopped by. We're taking pictures of Stewart from the fly pass. Purchase a castle for egg blue rays. I'm like, you should check this movie out I have this dupe ripped off his own dick. It's crazy. And they're like, actually, he doesn't. Hi, I'm Mr. Moon from Full Moon Entertainment. And I'm Richard Full.

And we're here to say that he does not rip off his own ding-dong. And I was there checking my watch like, is the purge on you? Can I murder this fucking clown? So how much time did the purge? This next letter is from Ian. 22 years. This letter is from 22 years So that is from Ian last name with held

Zaring oh, that's I and Zaria I fucked that up. Okay. I'll raise that part rewind. Okay By the way the end of the email says yes if Elliott said anything other than McClellan Please give him a slow-motion motion high five, but Elliott said nothing so he gets no high Free in McClellan. Yeah high five, but Ellie said nothing. So he gets no high five. Oh, free in McClellan. Yeah. Okay. But uh, so this is I take your high five and throw it in the dust. This is my hopes and dreams. It's like a fret and war novel high five in the dust. This is titled, I need an answer to your Elliott Stewart house cat dance couch and Dan in no particular order.

The couch gets a question. Couch cat. I recently learned about your podcast when I read an old coffee stained entertainment weekly and saw you on the musk list. Your reverent quips have made my bus and trained rides much more enjoyable. Thanks Ian. But I have a burning question since the moment I first heard your theme song. What do you folk wear while podcasting?

I've always assumed that as little as possible. I've always assumed to Elliot wears either a three-piece suit and a fedora or a, I wish. Or a gambit-esque suit of purple armor. Why would I wear the clothing of the man I hate the most? With which he is in a love-hate relationship. Okay, that's why.

Stuart podcast and he-man for a thong. Sure. Dan, of course, wears a tube of knee-length beige fabric with armholes cut out. On a scale from from you hit the nail on the head too. You couldn't be more right. Tell me how right my guess is where please. Plus, minus. To see. No. We wear regular street clothes except for the times when Stuart gets up to use the bathroom

and comes back wearing a tiny bathing suit. But she hasn't done it a long time. It's just for you guys though. Yeah, that's not for the people. To get you in the mood for podcasting. We wear clothes. Podcasts. It's a radio show on the internet. Speaking of clothes that we might wear, where would we buy shirts from that we wear?

Oh, sure. You can go to astoreemergentice.com and buy flop house t-shirts. Just imagine we're all wearing flop house t-shirts. Yeah. Yeah, with our faces on them, and we're looking at our own faces when we talk to each other. What we're all wearing your in-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t So thanks for that question. Thanks for the question. We were able to answer. This is from L. Eliferson.

Well, I'll give the full name because we've talked about it before. L. Kennedy author of the killer instincts and out of uniform. Oh, yeah, that's right. Nice to have you back. L. She says long time listener, second time writer. Hey, floppers. It's titled a title for Elliott. I was so married. I was so excited when you read my letter

on the Nicholas Cage episode, in my humble opinion, that's the best episode to be acknowledged on. But she has words for you, Elliot. Millionaire cop and mom to be is a great romance title. I'll give you that. But I can beat it. Pregnizasia. What? What? Fortunately, this is not one of my Harley Quinn titles, but I adore the author who

wrote it and who was a good support about the title. Is there any other title that encapsulates the contents of a book, but also does it in the most insane way. I dare you to find it, sir. It's a condition, I think. I think the only one that's the main character's name. No, she includes a link to the Amazon site for pregnegia and It's it appears to be about a pregnant lady who was in a car accident and of course has amnesia after that And the man who needs to protect her was Forze yeah, I guess so it wasn't like a like a car baby. No, no, it's not the baby's not have car I assume that's like fresh. Yeah, like like gold bug from wait

What wait, hurry the love bug? Yeah The gold bug is an Edgar out post stories. Yeah with a racist character in it Well, the character's not racist, but the depiction of him is okay. Okay. Herby her so herby the gold bug. Yeah That's that like how at the end of short circuit two Johnny five has an all gold body when he's taking the oath of allegiance to be a citizen. Yeah. Okay. That's after he takes out the low coat.

Wait, he bought it from William Devane. It's a cold body. Pregnisa is a pretty great title. I would say even crazier in summing it up would be a book that someone posted a link to on the flop house Facebook page, which it was a series of books, one of which is of course called Abraham Lincoln Nidja Fuckmaster and these are ebooks only and they seem to be 15 page porn action stories about Abraham Lincoln in which he fights the Emperor of Japan on the moon and has sex with a lot of ladies. So this is your new jail jail materials, what you're saying? Jail material J. L. J. L. J. L.

Yeah, J. J. Yeah, J. J. Yeah, J. J. J. J. J. Yeah, J.

J. J. Yeah, J. J. J. J. J. J. J.

J. J. J. J. J. J. J't understand. Sure. She finished this her letter. Okay, dudes, keep up with the great work. Love you guys. One day I'll base a romance character on each view. Stewart can be a ladies man bartender. Unlikely. Elliot can be a witty intellectual. And Dan, of course, will be the brooding hero who was probably tortured during his time in the military. And he's a

sweet lady with a nice ass, preferably someone's wife. So reawaken his tormented heart. And that character probably wears some kind of a trench coat or... Oh, yeah, with nothing underneath. Super creepy. And he wears it on airplanes. Weird, you're pronouncing the word sexy creepy. That's strange. No, no, I'm using the word creepy.

It's a regular spinneroonie. So we have more letters. Well, some of the guys had laid in and was implied we're involved with ladies and that one but what I was I just like You're witty intellectual. You're like a you're a Nick Charles. So I'm like the Okay, we buy optional You're bi optional by optional. Yeah, you have the option to be with me in her I mean everyone's bi optional. Okay, okay. Try to find Stuart. I just made that.

The option exists. I'm a try to do with an option to buy. Not my household. Anyway, Dan. Speaking of singing. I'm looking forward to this flop house romance now. You'd still call it the flop house. The last, the last letter continues the theme.

What theme was that? It's from Emma O, Emma O, print, O, apostrophe last name with held. Okay. Sorry. Wait, what? Emma O, last name with him. Yeah, an Irish name. Yeah. And it's titled, I'm sorry, Dan. Mr McCoy, the other night I had a rather interesting dream, you were involved. It started off fine, but then I'm getting, Dan. Mr. McCoy, the other night I had a rather interesting dream. You were involved. It started off fine, but then I'm getting a beer progressed. What I'm saying is I may or may not have serviced you in a way that I shouldn't that shouldn't have been appropriate for Stuart to stick around and watch. Did that happen in the day? Which he did. He looked vaguely intrigued by the goings-on,

but not overly enthused. Not really sure where Elliot was. Good news is- Once again I'm left out of the sex dream. Good news is you're too whole your shy of the incident being dreamstache story so you don't have to go to dream jail or anything. Don't worry Dan you were a perfect gentleman. Just thought I should let you know not all flop dream center around Elliot and Stuart. Oh and I love the podcast I found it through another podcast and I sort of left them for you guys. For better or for worse, I think my REM cycle is answered that question. Yes, the Woody Allen impressions. I feel like they come up a lot in this podcast. Not sure why I fucking love it. You and Elliot make a wonderful tag team. Both of you tripping over each other to be heard. So it sounds like I'm listening to stereo Woody Allen.

Meanwhile, stewards in the background trying to find a way to hang himself. The ATM episode of the best and longest performance, and I was felt my bed laughing. You should work them into every episode. Now that you mean like I was gonna hang myself with a belt or that I was trying to hang Just with you guys. I think that you wanted to kill yourself because you were hearing us doing Woody Allen impressions I like the idea of stereo Woody Allen, which would be like what like his his smooth jazz album or something I mean he does Dixie Land jazz, but so the nice thing about that sex dream is that you were involved with somebody Not me or Elliot. Yeah, that's weird. I can't I wasn't there. I'm confused Well, I guess I appreciate watching Dylan get do the nasty Like Stuart you want to be a fucking boy or what's going on? No, I don't that's true. I literally a fucking boy. The only problem I have with this email

honestly is that it's titled I'm sorry Dan. I don't know what she has to apologize for because first off honestly like this is the sexiest words I think you wish. I think I'm sorry Dan. I think in all of the time that we've done this podcast that's probably the letter that's made me feel the best about myself. Dan, just watch out. I think you're gonna be catfished. What? I think it's a catfishing bro.

It's a 40 year old obese man in Minnesota. Yeah. For those listening, I think catfished is a cultural reference and not a weird like sex turn around. It's not a sex turn around. For those who want to know what catf is watch the first five minutes or a friend Sarah Schafer's show in their lives, where they appear to be contractually forced to recap catfish their lead in.

Oh, warmer. Yeah. Well, I guess what I'm saying is Dan, you finally lost it. You did it. You did it. You're a man. I lost my dream chair, you guys. Don't say it that way.

I don't like that. So this is the part of the podcast Where we recommend a movie that we actually liked in contrast to say the purge and being chak tober I say why not a horror movie. So let me start for once Okay, I mean you often start out take oh he wants he's trying to get in on whatever you're gonna recommend No, I know he's gonnaon something different. I my lovely wife For our anniversary got me the blue ray collection of universal horror movies and and there was what oh She also got me Mondo Sleso a collection of exploitation film trailers. No, you She knows there's two sides of you the sleazy side and the side that likes monsters. Yeah. And that's the only two sides. But I watched the only movie on the universal horse

set that I had not seen before, which was the 1943 Claude Rains version of Phantom of the Opera. Now we are all familiar with the silent Lawn Cheney version of Phantom of the Opera, which is rightfully known as the best of them, but the best of the phannums. But the quadrancy in where? Not as good as me in a minis though. Um. The phantom minis of the opera. The quadrancy one.

Queen Amidala, we are living in the basement of a opera house. Is that a gungan? No, it's not a gungan, it's the trade federation. Lisa, burn half my face. Okay. Lisa could have mascon, that's a gungan. It's the trade federation Lisa bone half my face. Okay. Lisa. I've mask on that's a gungan I'm just saying that the the the Claude reins one is worth a look. It's shot in beautiful technique color Claude reins is always great to see Who's that who's the the singer in that is that?

Jewel now that there's like fuck the the main character is the main character is a crossover opera star in a period of of history when there was a show as a crossover opera star Oscar Meyer Oscar damn it shut up I'm not even gonna I'm not even gonna try Marriott Mariela Lanza Yeah, it was like Eddie Arnold sir is that it? Edward Eddie Arnold was a country star and Edward Arnold was an actor the two different guys, but I can't remember

It's a man opera singer. Yeah, there was a male opera singer Mary, Alanza. That's a little early from hold up of the opera. Goddammit. I should have looked this up beforehand, huh? It's really weird. This should be filled with time. So I did, I'm good. I'm good. How about you? How you been?

Hey, I can't really complain. It's Lee and the Shocktober. Yeah, it's that well kind of. I mean, Shocktober for flop house, but Halloween still keeps still in the kitchen. Okay, hold on. Speaking of Halloween, everybody should head on down to Charlott's party.

Nelson Eddie. I got to finish this promotion real quick. So head on down to Charlene's bar on October 31st for Charlene. A Halloween party where one or more floppers will be in attendance and in costume. Okay, back to Dan. All right. Well, this is the longest recommendation, but now. Nelson Eddie.

Yeah. An actual an actual opera star, and a crossover film star in a time that that was not crazy to think of. That's when opera star could be like on the cover of Time Magazine. Yeah. And this is an interesting fan of the opera because it really emphasizes the opera side of it. Like you actually think like, oh, this is, keep selling it. This is taking place in an opera house, but it has like these beautiful, technical or opera scenes. What operas do they do?

I think they're mostly made up operas, actually. Oh, okay. But also in a weird... Like the operances in Cain's salambo. And a weird bit of casting Fritz Lieber plays Franz Liszt. Okay. Wait, Franz Lis List is in it? Yeah.

It's a character. Yep. But if you're a fan of Farf from the Ray Mouser, you can see what he looked like in real life. What do you look like in real life? Which is a crazy white hair guy. So this has been a very long recommendation for the lesser known fan of the upper movie. So enjoy enjoyed fans. Fans, some of the damn opera, of the flop, flop, flop.

Fans, some of the flop. Man, I can't believe you didn't do that right. I'm just so tired from hearing Dan's recommendation. Stuart, would you like to go now? Yeah, I hope purge during that time. Sure, so I. We should purge this part of the podcast. Boom.

I regularly recommend movies movies have already recommended Don't don't stop me guys. I know I do don't stop you now Having a good time. You're having a ball for one. I would like to say Through the sky look a diamond because it's Diamonds Shake it to the sky. Love you throw them. Okay, because of the Chalktober, I always recommend going out. If you haven't seen it, going out and seeing the original Knight of the Demons, it's my favorite Halloween themed movie.

Now, you don't mean Knight of the Demon with Dana Andrews. Oh, no. I'm talking about Chris. Also, I said Croons gave him the runes. No, the passive and the use lots of skill. Sorry. Wait. What? Okay. So, Knight of the Demon, Knight of the Dem is going to be used lots of skill. Sorry. Wait, what? Okay, so neither the demon totally, uh,

neither the demons totally check it out. Not the remake with Tiffany Sheffields, though she's got a great butt. You should see that. Wow. Don't see. So you're recommending a movie and a butt. No, but I'm also recommend podcasting pattern. What I really like to do is recommend.

Thanks, the purge. What I really like to do is recommend what I really like to do is recommend a horror movie called the granny Which is my other favorite horror movie of all time Right behind castle free head of the family and this woman. Yeah, it's about a killer granny Smith Apple It is about a wait. No, no, it is it's a it's a movie about a granny who in the search for eternal life instead becomes a monster and murders her evil family She's the hero oh totally All because she misuses the power of the I think me chow quiche out over member. It's kind of bullshit

There's magic swords. There's an evil granny monster. There is a lot of hilarious nudity including There's an evil granny monster. There is a lot of hilarious nudity, including hilarious nudity. Well, one of my favorites. What does that have to, like, maybe like someone takes their pants off and here. Yeah, need be like like a like a like a like our breast. And she's like just juggling them.

I mean, that's pretty hilarious. And also very sexy. So the, it also has my favorite example of a movie where you take a beautiful woman, put her in a ponytail and give her glasses and you're like, everybody around her is like, you're so plain and boring and gross, but she's got the furliest panties when you see your naked lady. Well, all right. Let's move on. Who's playing now, Dan Dan is what I'm saying? I don't know. So the granny and night of the demons watch them both back-to-back double feature at my house later.

I've never been creeped out more out by us. Yeah, and not can I go to a different podcast? Sure. Anyway, you're now reading Weepers on the... Yeah, you'll now appear on a stuff you should know. Why don't we have the same list of the ship is uh... this american life because we've got a bunch of pervy creeps that

that's why i'm sure iran glasses of pervade doesn't parade it through the podcast like to imagine someone describing our podcast and the version uh... to purchase pervy creeps and the time for movies it's about women the time movies and women's butts for an hour. So I'll make my recommendation. I actually like to recommend two movies one real quick.

You probably saw it already, but a movie called Gravity, which is not a traditional horror film, but I found very scary in that the concept of being a drift in space is incredibly frightening to me and having no contact with the earth and nothing to tether you to reality basically. But that gravity is in the theaters now you probably saw it already. It's number one movie in the country. So I'll recommend another movie. It's another classic 30s horror film, not universal but close, called Mad Love with Peter

Laurie directed by carl freund he probably know best from directing the mummy and being the photographer for metropolis uh... and a number of other great germany returns no the money from the thirties and also uh... strangely enough went on to be the director for i think a third or more of the episodes of i love lucy now first on tv this is one of the family of uh... hands of a murderer, first on TV? This is one of the family of hands of a murderer film, right?

It is. Peter Laurie's, the weird thing is, so it's partly about a, forget if he's a penis or a surgeon, who has, loses hands in a train accident, and a doctor replaces them with the hands of a murderous knife-thrower. But that's not even the scary part of the movie.

It's kind of incidental to arrest the movie. It's more about Peter Laurie, this mad surgeon who's obsessed with an actress to the point that he has like a mannequin of her that he talks to, and he wants to possess her. And she's married to this guy who loses hands and he replaces with the killer's hands. But Peter Laurie is super frightening in it as this bald surgeon and the being bald makes him that much creepier There's a scene where he dresses up in this weird metal like body brace to frighten the husband and it's super creepy and scary And it's just a strange like movie that's also Beautifully shot because Greg tolland worked on it call for I'm too knew a thing or two about shooting, obviously worked on it. You may remember Greg Tallinn, of course,

from Citizen Kane, pioneer of the Deep Focus. Citizen Kane, grapes of wrath, best years of our lives, number of great movies. You were talking about mummies earlier, there's no mummies in this one. There's no mummies in this, no. Just scary, severed hands. Well, it's not even...

It's not even... It's more scary Peter Laurie. It's like, the body part is scary. peter or a lot of more scary peter lori several times are not a scary part but uh... there's a lot of great character actor bits in it and i won't go into too much detail because we're on a late but people are a super scary mad love the thirties one not the drew bear more chris or not a lot of the

is also scary but in a different way in a different way but i recommend this one and i think that's a lot of take that a couple of that star of nc i s take that that is that it Los Angeles? Take that scent of a woman man but a scent of a woman

Take that circle of friends Do that What was the bachelor? Yeah, he was doing great So, mad love it's an under scene 30 Surprisingly deep catalog Go see it doing great. So mad love, it's an under scene. Surprisingly deep catalog. Go see it. Go see it. Mad love. Before we go, I wish we should remind people, we have a contest going on. The make a music video for he's the house cat.
