Episode Date: January 11, 2014

It's the Flop House crew vs. the Dream Team in an all-out dance/bad movie fight to the finish, as we discuss Battle of the Year. Meanwhile, Stu challenges our missing co-host for synopsis supremacy, Dan discusses Vincent Van Gogh's battle with his own body, and Hallie drops the world's best rooster pun.

On this episode we step up to the Be house, I'm Dan McCoy. Hey, thanks for coming to the flop house, I'm Stuart Wellington. And I, hey thanks for coming to the flop house, I'm Hallie Hagland. What the? Hallie'm Halle Hagland. What the? Halle Hagwood? That's right boys. No, ladies are doing it for themselves. Coming through.

In case you're wondering where the reedy tones of LA are, you have the flop house forever and his never going back. No, not true. Okay. Elliot is on paternity leave. He, uh, called that sabbatical here at the flop house. Yeah, he's going to be gone through the month of January.

So tune back in in February. We, uh, we didn't, this baby will be fully grown by February. Yeah, off to college, um, studying, I don't know nerd stuff. We call it, we call that doogie house ring. Uh-huh. That's what that show is about, right? A baby grew up really fast.

A baby doctor. Um, no, that we, we, Elliott decided to keep the fact that, um, he was expecting, and by he, I mean, his wife was expecting under wraps. Because he was a like spoiler. Well, he wanted to keep a tiny part of his life private from you, Vultures. Is that tiny being a tiny baby? Um, very tiny.

But now, now that the cat is out of the bag or the baby's out of the bag. I'm not trying to keep a PG Dan, world. I tried to keep a PG Dan thanks, but you still live PG-13, where do I guess? We can tell you that he's on a brief paternity leave for a couple of episodes, but he promises that he will be back in spite of having a new baby and a new job as head writer of the Daily Show,

which we can say now too, because that cat is also out of the bag. So congratulations. Congratulations. Coming up, Kaelin. Yeah, hmm. Meanwhile, the three of us stuck here. So this is your first time tuning into the flop house.

We talk about this guy, Elliott, for a while, and we talk about a movie we just watched. Yeah, okay. Well, this is it. And we talk about, like, what Elliott would think of the movie, is this one? This is primarily not an Ellie Keelan podcast. It is most of the time a bad movie podcast. Or potentially great movie. Some of the time it's an Ellie Keelan podcast.

Basically the amount of time he spends talking. Sure, Ellie had burned in absentia. But we watch bad movie then we talk about it. And tonight we watched a little movie called Battle of the Year. Well, Battle of the Year, that sounds great. Is it about Orcs and Hilled Warves and Fire Giants? Battle of the Year. Battle of the Year. Yep, it's about Vincent Van Gogh. It's a hearing contest.

Yes, the untold story of Vincent Van Gogh is here. It's very evil to do. It's like over the top, but it's about hearing. See, you've heard Vincent Van Gogh's side, but you've never heard the ear side. Heard? Because that's what ears do they hear things. Who truly won in that battle? Was it Van Gogh or was it the ear who was finally free of his person? So you pursue his dream of being a famous painter, I guess

No, this is a dance movie It's about it's about the boy singing in the rain What's dance dance under the rain? It's like you know when you hear a song and your body moves yeah I wasn't asking what dancing is it I said is it like singing in the rain isn't that gene kelly's dance movie yeah that's gene kelly's dance movie singing in the rain popular bboy gene kelly um battle the year uh found the, uh, story behind the movie, more interesting than the story in that, uh, story of the movie, Dan.

I can't. I can't. Dan spent most of the movie being dinner detective, tracking down his dinner order. Which is why he finds the Wikipedia entry about this movie more interesting than the movie, because he didn't see the most riveting parts. I love this movie. I was also tracking down Halle's dinner order. Yeah, that wasn't just me, man I took the fucking bullet for all of us except for you. Yeah, no, I already brought my D so let me summarize this movie

Strap in this is gonna be a bumpy ride so Smash cut wait Strappin this is gonna be a bumpy ride. So smash cut Wait, Josh, we're starting off So the movie opens with I think a bunch of guys dancing We cut to a entrepreneur played by somebody named something who wants to sponsor the American dance crew Like yeah, like break dance dance crew it's something they do want to be like yeah beboeing yeah I'm not necessarily sure like like there was a lot of talk of Stuart's new cat and showing of pictures of Stuart's

new kitten to Halley so I'm not really sure who this entrepreneur was I think he like runs beboar magazine my Money kit runs B-boy magazine? Yeah. You should really be contributing to the household a little bit more. Yeah, well, it helps because cat food is expensive. Mm-hmm. But the point is there's a contest called Battle of the Year,

which is based on a real contest called Battle of the Year. Or Bodie. Mm-hmm. Or B-boys from all over the globe. B-boys battle each other. Mm-hmm. With one. of the year. Or BOTY. Or BBOYs from all over the globe. BBOYs battle each other with what? Why don't they better dancing? Just BOTY. BOTY? Wouldn't that be BODY?

BODY? Yeah. No, but wait, that would be battle of DUNY. But you're not saying BOTTY. BODY, DUNY, are you? BOTTY? I don't know that's it. I think they omitted the tea entirely. I mean BOTTY does sound like you're, like, just baby one is BODDI. That's what, yeah, yes, you're right. Which is what Elliot's saying right now. Yep.

So, this thing's called Battle of the Year. They, this entrepreneur needs to bring in a new coach because the United States team is not one in 15 years, which is true, right? Danny, fact check that. Yeah, I did fact check that in the actual Battle of the Year. Okay, so according to Wikipedia, it's 100% accurate.

What was it like? 96, 98? Yeah, 96. Actually, 15 years ago. Okay, so they bring it. I don't know math from out of retirement 98 Josh Hallaway from the TV show lost hit show lost

Mm-hmm or the new show intelligence where I guess his brain can access the internet is that super smart like a Johnny Namanik And so Josh Hallaway's brought in is he like a Jake 2.0? He's like an almost human is he a chuck Like a sliders, okay, so Josh Halloway is brought in. He's got a drinking problem He drinks out of a flask. He never has to fill up that flask. So I guess it's magic So Josh Hallow, you got it from Golem. He did bring it from Golem. Hallie, if you didn't know Golem is... We're not talking about the Jewish folklore monster.

We're talking about the character from the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogy. Yeah, that's what I thought that. The more in thing of the Jewish monster from folklore, we're trying to get it from the ghetto of Prague. Golem. Yeah, you're right. So how the fact check to you? OK, so Josh Halloway's got a drink problem

because he had his wife in a barely 15-year-old son died in the car accident. Oh, by the way, according to his pictures, like a baby. So we afforded a lot more sympathy for him, for most of the movie. Yeah, this was steward at the end was like What the fuck he was 15 when he died as if that was not a tragedy

You know, he probably kissed a girl by that time he lived a rich full life Exactly, he probably had gotten his first job What it was like to be human before he passed away He's probably going on to heaven or hell appropriately, not stuck in some weird purgatory. Okay. Yeah, fair enough. So he is grieving over the loss of these family members. He is pulled into the job of coaching this, the United States team.

Because he was like a young talent. Yeah, he was a... Nicknamed WB. Yep, he's a nickname WB. Yup, he's named after the Warner Brothers TV channel. But he was like a, he was a basketball coach, right? That was a thing. No, that came after.

Cause he was this incredible B-boy and they said he went from white bread. He was the only white guy on the team and he went from white bread to wonder bread, which is why his nickname is WB I missed his whole thing. I thought I thought that the guy literally came in was just like well We need someone to get with this team new shape you basketball coach. You're good at coaching things do it No, but then he had to do right by his girlfriend who he got pregnant

So like he took the championship basketball coaching job It's like a concession. Well, he took a basketball coaching job that became a champion So because he succeeds at everything he does except for keeping his wife and child alive So you're saying that you're saying that the girlfriend later wife who entrapped him died. So so really There's sympathy there either they could really but he just liked drinking it's basically what happened yeah i mean i was probably probably was drunk you forgot to put on a con in happens i guess

and then he had a child i guess that's not that funny so uh... uh... so he is brought into coach the team uh... his assistant coach is played by josh peck from Flop House Faves, Red Dawn, and I can't remember either. He's on the Mindy Project. He's on the Mindy Project. Yep. Hold on, I'll look it up. 18 was 18. He was the asshole. I think he's the one who decides they should murder that stranger for some reason. He's the guy who's like, let's park, let's go to the asshole. I think he's the one who decides they should murder that stranger for some reason.

He's the guy who's like, let's park, let's go to the ATM. Yup, he's the guy who says the name of the movie. He's like, hey, you know what'd be fun? Let's go to an ATM and get some money out. He plays the Jewish hairdo, claims that he lost his ability to dance along with the tip of his penis, I guess,

when he was so concerned. Yeah, because that's what happens right. They chop it off. And like the first 10 minutes, there's at least four jokes about how Jews can't dance. Yeah, I feel like he's been like he has his type five. He's been working on it. Just managed to get it all out. Uh, so Josh, at this point, Josh Hallowac is the American team. He thinks they're tired.

He fires them all, and then he comes up with a great idea. Let's do basically a casting call of the best B-boys. B-boys stands for bad-ass dancers, I think. Yeah. From around the United States, and basically do a giant reality show where they all come in and try out,

and then he picks a bunch and like. And then one gets eliminated every week. Yeah, exactly. Like a reality show. And it all happens at a former juvenile detention center. Once again, like a reality show, except one of those contestants is played by actor Chris Brown. Actor and puncher Chris Brown. He is a famous puncher of people. Yep. You got some thoughts on that? No, I think that's I wonder how far we can go down this road while not alienating your audience. See, Chris Brown, you might not know fact that Chris Brown punched a flat-house-favor-y-hanna star of battleship. Oh yeah. Yeah, former flat-house-favor-y. Come us back together. Uh, I guess yeah, the puzzle is

complete. My machine is like done. The end of the usual suspects. It's all coming together. No, I just want to back up a second and just point out that just how he's really good guy. Yeah. I'm fine with them them we go to brunch together she's trying to do right yeah man he shaved sometimes in the movie but he always wants a bunch of attention and I'll tell you punched well in the shoes wait just have a way of Chris Brim I don't know I want you're just you just want to stand up and say you don't care who knows it

you think Chris Brown is a great dancer and you're right you just want to stand up and say you don't care who knows it. You think Chris Brown is a great dancer. And you're right. He is a great dancer. He is a great dancer. Yeah. And he's also about two feet taller than all the other dancers on this team. Yeah. If I want to watch a movie with 13 indistinguishable characters, I'm going to watch Hobbit,

an unexpected journey. Boom. Take that Peter Jackson. I'm just successful as a director. Who we I just wanted to point, I just want to back up and point at the Chush Hallways brilliant idea to win battle of the year. His game changing ideas like, hey, let's put together a dream team. Yeah, I don't know what a pain I've thought of that before. Yeah, he even gets a little pushback from the guy you hired him. He's like,

I don't know about that. Why don't we just, I had these guys trade them for a while. No, let's get all stars in here. Like no, I don't think all stars will star enough. Just a regular team. Keeps losing Yeah, they're two they've lost For 15 years in a row. I've got a lot of emotions wrap up in there. We're playing the odds here So he brings in this team of all stars. He takes them all to this juvenile detention center. He wears a cap like a boxing trainer.

He wears a hoodie. And nothing else. Wait, I'm in so much that part. You are too kind of in the dancing show. I was caught up in Dan's dinner problem. You missed the raw radishes. So, then we have a little bit of dancing and a lot of dancing actors kind of fighting each other.

There's a homosexual dancer who explains that, you know, that's little adonis. A little adonis. Yeah. None of the characters, none of the dancers have names. They all have like taglines. Yeah. Chris Brown on the rooster.

Rooster. Sniper is a former Afghanistan war veteran. Yeah. There's a guy. Wait, is that the, is that what he was? Yeah, he said after Afghanistan. This is what I need to do. Oh God. I didn't miss that I got a couple of southeastern south Boston, right? That's that's an exit. Yeah, there's the guys nickname is dance real good One separate by

Chris Brown's nickname is is Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster.

Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Rooster. Ro I don't understand. I assumed it was because he was so cocky. No. I've been wrong before. I'm getting sick slower. Have I killed it? Let me blur my eyes and step back for a minute. All right. I see it. It's a sailboat. So there's a bunch of split screens. Yeah, there's a lot of DePaul Maasks split screens. Chris Brown and another guy are mad at each other because they're like, another guy who's made a character tradisly likes hats.

Yeah. I couldn't hold on to that. He wears a lot of hats on the team. It was some sort of like they had like a like a Twitter war of a girl or something. I don't can't remember. I think the Twitter war thing might have been a joke. Okay. But they were over a girl or something, I can't remember. I think the Twitter worth thing might have been a joke. Okay. But they were over a girl.

It was over a girl. Yeah. But it turns out that Chris Brown's thing was over two months before the other guy got with her. That was in the big review. Yeah. There's also a character who keeps sneaking out. The homosexual character has kind of a beef

with the military character because, I guess the military guy has a beef with the military character because I guess the military guy has a beef with him. Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah. I'm stuck on the fact that like the resolution of that was just like hey bro it was over for two months before we got together. It's just like okay first of all you shouldn't have been angry in the first place like you're like commoditizing this woman is like no, that was mine But now's that but then but then like apparently it's fine if it didn't overlap like like that was the problem there was just like okay You know this is a commodity that can't be trade it. It's fine

I guess they both? You're a real poet. Roost her. And there, you blow on my mind. It works in so many levels. So one by one, guys, you're giving bus tickets to go back home from this weird deaf camp of dancing. Oh, yeah. And then, then like halfway through the movie.

But they don't want them. Yeah, they don't want those tickets. Sometimes they try and convince Josh Halloway that they're not deserving of a ticket. First you guys should know that the best beboy on the whole team was the first guy to get sent back. So does Megan E. Sense at all, Hallie explained. Because there's no eye in team. And it was all about him.

Oh, that makes a little sense. Yeah. His codeame was I So people are slowly sent home Josh Peck aka Franklin with a Y I guess doesn't really do anything He can't access he kind of acts as Josh Halloway's Conscience they bring in a female character which was very excited by because before it was a total So halfway through them it was halfway through the movie before a lady Shurth

You see two women in this whole movie and one doesn't have any lines and one has like two and I kept thinking like what is this Star Trek into darkness boom Light them up topical Okay continue The girl couldn't even dance The one who was supposed to be the choreographer yeah, oh well they were three babies They're there Three sweet babies I only saw one baby

three sweet babies. I only saw one baby. Where were the other girls? That's who I'm saying. So there were three girls. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. And there's that picture of the wife who died. So four. There were four women in this room. Her performance amazing. So wait, the wife who died, there's a choreographer. There's the wife of the one guy who kept snicking at Joe's wife. Yeah. The guy who kept sneaking out, he was the other white lady's new baby. And guess what? The coach follows him. Goes to his hotel room. It's like, what are you doing? The guy comes out of the bathroom. It's like, I'm keeping my baby in this hotel bathroom. And he's like, let me swaddle your baby. And then wraps the baby up and

baby that's kind. It's a lot of clothes and a little lashing in the imagination. I think we all know, babies are basically get out of jail free cards. Yeah. He's keeping his baby. Which is why so many people have there. Why so many people have babies and then use those babies as excuses not to do things?

Yep. Burn. That's why so many people have babies in jail. So what they go to. Okay, so after a while they're whittled down. Chris Brown tries to do this crazy dance stunt and hurts his leg. He's off the team, screw that guy.

The rest of the guys gonna tell you they broke his leg or maybe had a knee injury. Yeah, I mean, the weird thing is after he hurt his knee wore a hat that was a very Dan McCoy style hat Do you guys get those when you hurt your knees? Yeah, like a little like a little like paperboy cap Yeah, they're handed out at the hospital for special surgery. Did you guys ever meet each other in PT? That's me a rooster. That's physical therapy. Mm-hmm. Thanks. Not personal therapy. Mm-hmm. Although he could probably use it from all of his uh, wait, uh, punching therapy. Thank you. He goes to BBPT, which is B-Boy PT.

Sometimes. I got a hard G-PT, regular, I got a B-T. So the rest of the B-Boys get on a plane, they shoot some shots of them like clowning around in an airport. Yeah, it's like fucking Richard Lester from the hard days night takes over the camera for a second. She's like, let's fast motion a bunch of people walking across the street in a funny way. In France of all places. It was a great time.

They climbed on some statues. They marched across the arched atrium like they were soldiers very quickly a little skateboarding around yeah they are nice to see them enjoying each other the best part is that there's a lot of dancing and clowning around which is exactly what Chris Brown did moments before he heard himself so any one of them could have ruined the United States teams chances and I was a little disappointed with their performance so the night before the big the first round and they go to a

bar and immediately I'm like okay this is the scene in the movie where they go to a bar and they get into a fist fight and I thought like all take a little while before they get into the fist fight but it is immediate. Yeah like normally normally movies like this which is movies about dancing, beboys. I'm gonna introduce like a rival team where the rival team is opposed to like, beboys. We're like, you know, like doctors without borders. Doctors without but borders.

Yeah. So usually they introduce a rival team that is super cocky and like all United States guys who are total assholes, that's the French team. But they didn't do that, they just had the homosexual B-boy, little adonis of course. Well they did lay some groundwork at the very beginning when the coach first got hired and he was made to watch all these videos and he had one line that said, man, the Koreans are really good. Yeah, basically.

So that was, that was, he just set the watermark like the line. That's, that's what everybody has to hit. Yeah. So don't miss that line, you guys. It's going to be important. The, uh, little adornous gets into a scrap with some guy with a beard. Uh, he is. He's a man's driver.

I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver.

I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver.

I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. I feel like he's a man's driver. After a very brief and uninteresting punching and kicking spell, we find out that sniper might be removed from the team on grounds of disqualification for starting a fight. Being gay. Yeah.

And meanwhile, Josh Hallway was off with the lady choreographer. And it looks like, oh, we're finally going to get a romantic subplot in this movie. And that never really comes to fruition. I could have used something to get over his pain. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, Stuart, if there's one thing you like in movies, a little smoochy. Yeah. Yeah, just only a little bit of kissing. Uh, he needs something to go get over the loss of his 15 year old son. Which is kissing. He has a kiss, everybody.

Since he kissed the forehead of his 15 year old son before, strapping him to do a car seat. That's what I tell people, parents who lost a child, go out there and get some. Just get some. Have you ever considered kissing? Yeah, I think somebody says that to Lewin Davis and inside Lewin Davis. You can get over the loss of your friend by kissing somebody. Yeah, kiss him good.

So we didn't, by the way, spoiler. No, there's no love. There's no love. No loving be boy. Yes. And if you're wondering at no point does Josh Halloway do any dancing even though it's alluded that his character had danced at some point Right and at no point is Gregory Peck what's it?

Gregory Peck Gregory Peck Gregory Peck Just not Just see you guys don't get your hopes up Gregory Peck does not dance in this movie, okay? Yeah, I mean, their hopes probably worked up before he said his name, but now they got excited.

But also Joshua. Joshua, yeah. Josh Old Drew before. I refer to him as Joshua. Yeah, like I feel like there was some heavy foreshadowing to like, this is gonna be, someone's gonna get eliminated and he's actually gonna prove to be a naturally talented B boy and take this team to the top. Yeah, I think the moment when Josh Halloway goes off to talk to the judges to try and convince

them not to disqualify Sniper, they literally, I think he literally went off screen. They're like, yeah, that guy actually can't dance. He can't get Josh pecked to dance. And he's like, okay, it's in his contract. Oh, Sniper, you're not just qualified. They're like yeah that guy actually can't dance you can't get Josh pecked to dance and he's like okay it's in this contract oh sniper you're not just qualified like what about Gregory peck like sir he's a ghost I don't know how I will work out well you don't have Cory I have a good what about Walter peck who goes both to yeah Walter peck from Ghostbusters he doesn't have a dick so we probably can move pretty well yeah what about a a pack no kissing in this movie

Not allowed dancing and kissing do not mix We do not con to that around here So I guess fast forward to the actual battle of the year United States team We see like snippets of other countries performing and dancing. Apparently, the Koreans do really well. And then the United States team performs, and they do really well, including an amazing blindfold routine.

How can you dance where you can't see? It's like the forbidden dance. So then they do an announcement of the top four teams. Korea, of course, takes number one because they're the best at everything in the world forever. And the United States comes in number four, which means they're in the top four. That's a pretty big deal, Dan, right? Germany and France also among the winners. Yeah. No winners, finalists. Finalists. Yeah, it would be semi-finalists. Really to remember the different seeds in this fictional

competition. I was riveted. It's real competition. That's been fictional. Because the competition then gets pretty intense because rather than just doing a solo dance, they're doing like a dance battle where they do moves and then the other team does moves. There's some kind of a scoring system that I have no understanding of. I don't know if you get more points for jumping higher or spinning around more or doing better like sassy hand movements. Jumping sideways looks pretty amazing. It's really hard. Yeah. A lot of spinning around on the ground or bouncing on the land.

A lot of head spinning. You know what looks really hard especially when they like jump really fast in the air but then they slow down as they land. Yeah, I like it when they act like they're a movie reel that's being sped up or slowed down. Yeah. What did you like, Dan? I like the, when the feet move good. Sure, yeah, that's exactly right.

Dan was kind of riveted to the knees most of the time right I didn't a lot Dan didn't watch a lot of them because he was mostly just dancing Yeah, it's practice. He felt yeah, I mean I feel the beat of the rhythm of the night guys, okay, and I Yeah, I'm a Dan what machine. Oh, yeah And I'm a damn machine. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. Oh, original B-boy. Damn, clear original B-boy.

Yeah, that's why I'm so bad at it. I was the first one. Yeah, they approve this. People say that they're way into your moves, but you're kind of like a model T-car. Like nobody's going to drive it. Yeah, I'm like how people are like, oh, you know who's really good? There's like the really old blues musicians and you listen to like how people are like, oh, you know who's really good? There's this old, there's like the really old blues musicians and you listen to it and you're like,

this is not, I don't like this. Yeah, blues magicians are the weirdest ones. Cause they're really sad when they're doing it. Yeah. No, they'll pull out, instead of pulling a rabbit out of that, they'll pull out like a picture frame of their ex-wife or something. Yeah, B blues magicians.

I was confused. I was imagining blues magicians. See, sometimes Dan just says completely weird words. The trick is you gotta, you gotta latch on him and make fun of him. I want to meet the Renis App. It's a good boy magician and blues musician. It's a real what they call in the business a triple threat. I know you're out there. Sure. Send your letter to the Flappass podcast at internet.gov. So after doing a bunch of flips and twirls,

the United States makes it to the finals with South Korea. There is no regular Korea. But they don't go as anything else. Are they South Korea? I don't think they're North Korea. They're calling themselves the sole assassins. I'm assuming after the city's sold, not for the thing you got a body.

No, they're naming it after the movie Soul Survivors. Not the song Soul Survivors. So the United States battles Korea and just like red dawn. Yeah, it's just like red dawn. Josh Peck is on the edge of his seat and it is tense and there's a, uh, they, they all get together and there's the final scoring in the United States loses by one point. Total bummer. It's like Rocky. It's a moral victory. It comes in second. Allie, you look sad. Did you just realize that the United States can win?

I just realized like the thing about this is that we're all going to die some day. No, but I could predict this movie at every turn for the most part except expecting the Gregory Backpart. But I thought, you know, like clockwork, they would win. And then they really threw me for a loop. So what was a good movie became a great movie? I thought you elevate a piece of art. I do want to say that like this movie is very predictable, but the one thing that was unpredictable about it was like the timing of when certain predictable elements came in.

Like the fact that the lady choreographer came in like halfway through the movie. Or the fact that the end of the movie, the very end when it came in second, was when Josh Holloway made a big speech to all his dancers, being like, hey my wife and kid died. And that's inspirational somehow. He would have been 15. Yeah, it's almost like after, but it came at the end of the movie.

Like I feel like that's the sort of thing that comes in the middle of the movie where it's just like, you guys got to straighten up. Cause my wife and kid died. Yeah, it normally comes in the middle of the movie when the rest of the team's like, what is this guy such an asshole?

Yeah. It's like that guy's not an asshole. That guy's a widower. Yeah, that normally comes to the middle of the movie when the rest of the team's like, what is this guy, such an asshole. Yeah. It's like, that guy's not an asshole. That guy's a widower. Yeah, that guy's got emotional issues. He's soulful. He's, he's got depth. Yeah. He's not bringing liquor out of that flask.

He's drinking sadness tears. Sadness tears. Not happy. I'm not, he would be super pumped to be my happiness tears and filtering them into this flask to drink later. Only sadness. Yeah, so the United States gets second place, but there's an upside because there's probably going to be another medal of the year, right? And guess who gets to be in it? Rooster?

Rooster? Roar? Oh, I get it now. Okay. And then there, like everybody laughs, the end of the movie. Yeah, no, I just like to put a cake in Josh. Yeah, it always fails. It's like a masher cake into his face and he's like,

guys. And just so you're wondering, the choreographer and the coach never got together. Or they might have, they just didn't show that part, because we weren't interested in anything other than dance. Battle the year two, guys. That's when they're gonna have a baby. Yeah. Battle the year two, colon, boning down.

That's what it's gonna be called. I was just trying to follow in that choreographer. First off, I'm glad you fit both colon and boning into the same sentence. They're gonna be getting it on. So yeah, battle the year, guys. I was a little impressed. They never really touched on how all these seemingly grown dancers can just go away and live in a jail for a while. Like they have to take a sabbatical from work. live in a jail for a while, like they have to take a sabbatical from work. Are they? So sponsored.

Oh, but oh heavy advertising. There is some heavy advertising from bra. It comes up initially when you see not brownie, Holloway shaving, even though he always has a five o'clock. Yeah, but it's rough, right? And yet as he's shaving he still has girls like that the girls like it like a little bit of like They feel like the feel of a rasp against their skin. He always looks like a long-sharming. Yeah, yeah And then the whole the whole takes a lot of work to look like that, you know, I guess so What yeah, what come on? No a lot of work to look like that, you know? I guess so. What? What?

Come on. No, I was going to pretend like I grew a beard and I was going to say, it takes a lot of work not to look like that, but I... People can see. You guys haven't seen me, but just so you know, I don't have a beard. Yeah, no concern now. Braun. Thanks to Braun. This podcast brought to you by Braun.

So yeah, so I guess they don't have to work or anything like that. They're just fucking people all the pop point, the plot, the plot points. Pop points. Oh no, I made a damn voice down the stick. They speak through all the plot points. Like you said, the fight in the bar, there's point. Oh no, I made a damn good sound mistake. They speak through all the plot points. Like you said, the fight in the bar, there's, I think I'm shocked that there's no rival team. Like they don't, like they should. Like you guys made a point of reading. There's not really like a whole lot of stakes in this movie.

Well, like, how they, what did you say about it? It's like, oh they all have like a nice hobby. Yeah, they're hobby is beboy. And they're all moderately successful. I mean, they're very successful. Yeah. You take us team in the world. You know, they can take you through.

Like you have a good job and then you take some cooking classes. Nothing really bad happens to anybody except for roosters injury, which I'm assuming is paid for by. Brown. Yeah, paid by brun's very good health insurance plan I do want to get this in there like the what the backstory to this movie that I want that I was mentioning before was just like uh according to Wikipedia at least like this is based on a documentary by the same director which I believe is called Planet Beeboy which is I think referenced in the movie yeah i don't know what that i want to learn about beboy you gotta watch this planet beboy i think that was actually the point is you're wondering the whole time what the point of josh peck's character is and i think that

uh... josh peck is supposed to represent the actual maker of the film. The director? Yeah. OK. I think it's a little masochistic for the director to represent himself by a guy with that droopy of a face. Droopy dog, like live action droopy dog. I'm going to be a wee boy. Come on, you can do a way better droopy dog impression than me.

Oh, I can't, I can't. So, and yeah, so the idea that Josh Halloway is falling asleep nightly watching the Planet B-Boy documentary, I think is a pretty good advertisement for both Braun and the movie, that the other movie that I think. The thrills that is available within. I think that we've talked this movie out of Fairmount. Yeah, it's pretty light. Yeah, there's not a lot in there.

It's pretty good. Well, that brings us to our next segment, which is Final Judgements. Was this a good bad movie, a bad bad movie or a movie you kind of liked? Howly, what do you have to say about it? Um, have you ever watched uh, America's next dance crew? Be a boy? No. On the edge of your seat, a marathon and been like uh, I wish this didn't have Mario low-present it because I hear he's like really mean to his wife. Well, you're not going to get that because like Chris Brown basically takes place, but it's just like a... He's a stand-in, yeah.

Yeah. So, what's a lot of fun dancing? I was really invested in the competition. They do all these flips and sometimes you're like, are they going to injure themselves? And sometimes they do and You know what I would say this kept my attention. I For a bend. That's your rating. Yeah Get my attention. So where does that fall within the spectrum that we usually used in?

Like this is this is on the same level as flashing lights and jangling keys I would say to me this is somewhere between a bad movie. A good bad movie and a movie I kind of liked. But the thing is, I didn't really like anything about it particularly much, but there's nothing I disliked about it. But the dancing, you didn't like that? Well that's the thing like I find that we watch these movies with dancing and it's hard to dislike them. There's like something about just the fact that the dancing exists that like entertains you

and as stupid as the story is you get into that part of it. My one problem with the dancing is I do feel like it's... you could do better I'm gonna throw down come on rooster. We're gonna do this. No, I just like it's cut all the hell like the editing is really like I get it now Thank you Stewart finally for clarifying what all the dancing is all cut together. It's like Finally, for sure. You're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying,

you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying,

you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying,

you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, you're saying, like a full move, like with like a camera that wasn't moving or like cutting away. I totally believe that the actors were doing these amazing tricks.

I just wanted to see it a little more fully. Like, I think a good dance movie usually just like gets out of the way and lets the dancers do the work. And that's what I was missing. But, you know, I didn't mind this movie. It was kind of fun and it's a stupid way. I would say after I guess the last movie we watched for the show, get away, which was a perfect example of taking something awesome, car chases, and ruining it by, like, overcutting.

I felt the cutting for the dance moves wasn't that bad. All right, comparatively. And I guess that indicates what was fun about the movie. I would say, I would consider this almost like a good bad movie because it's pretty fun to watch with your friends. It's pretty straightforward by the numbers plot. And it basically like it's very, very, very tripped. They cut out every bit of drama or stakes that a movie would normally need. Some of the acting is pretty crappy, but these guys are

amazing. These guys are amazing dancers. And if you played a drinking game where every time they said the word battle, you had to drink. Yeah, battled or B-boy. Yeah, you would probably get drunk, which is the point of the exercise. So similar to them, you would be a winner with your hobby of drinking. But you would only be in second place. Second place. Somebody else drank way more than you. Yeah.

His name's Dan. Thanks. Before we get on to the letter of segment, I just want to take a quick moment to say that the winner of the flop house house cat video contest did get back and touch with us. The movie he selected was BAPS. Okay. The Halliburri film. I believe Martin Landau is also an end movie. Oh, so it's a Martin Landau film. Yeah.

We probably won't get to that until sometime in February. We do want to wait till Ellie is back. Is part of Black History Month? Yeah. We all remember, let's take a minute to remember Baps. I mean, like, Black History is not fair to only remember the High Points Black History. You also have to remember Baps.

But, sure, sure. Eli Whitney, but also Baps. But um, no, we're gonna do that. Thank you for making the video. Thank you for choosing Baps. We'll get to that. Thanks for getting back to us. Yeah. Um, Baps... Oh, that's... BAP... Psst... Her? But um... So, I guess that was all I wanted to say about that was uh...

was uh... uh... message receipts. We'll begin to that soon as we can. But now... So what are we doing now? We're doing the next part of the first part. Letters from listeners.

Letters from listeners. That's wait, what? Am I supposed to sing a song? I was out. Letters from listeners. Elliot K. We miss your voice. Elliot.

That's pretty good. That's basically what I say. So this first letter is from Jeremy Lastname withheld. Thanks Jeremy. It's titled, Die Hard sequel pitches. Hey, flop friends, love the podcast. Let me cut to the chase. The Die Hard series is grown stale.

And as a need of fresh ideas, thankfully, I've taken upon myself to come up with seven idiom appropriate titles that promise to push this tired franchise into fertile new ground. Live and let die hard. John McLean finds himself across the pond, teaming up with rival Super Agent James Bond to stop an eccentric genius from taking over the world and this long overdue crossover smash. Live each day as if you will die hard tomorrow. over smash. Live each day is if you will die hard tomorrow. After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, John McLean travels the country, checking off items on his bucket list and

making things right with all the people he is harmed in his life and his heartwarming tale of redemption and self-discovery. Only the good die hard young. After Billy Joel's base player springs his wrist, John McLean is hired on it as an likely side man live hard by the sword die hard by the sword after being sent back in time via demonic portal John McLean and wiseclacking the portal of time John McLean and wisecracking more side-click for this he's Chris Tucker partner up to take down a brutal, brutal Lord. I do or die hard, John McLean races against the clock to make it to the altar after his

bachelor party gets out of hand in this rightist comedy. To die hard for, John McLean is seduced by a famous Hollywood actress who persuades him to murder her religious nut actor husband so she can cash in on his life insurance policy and lastly curl up and die hard hilarity and so's is john McLean is enlisted to coach the Jamaican Olympic curling team in this vaguely racist disney comedy what do you think Jeremy last name without so you're gonna you're gonna find any of these movies to work with them in the go-go your starter your vast wellington fortune yeah the wellington fortune these movies Stewart. What are them Indiegogo or Kickstarter? Your vast Wellington fortune. Yeah, the Wellington fortune based on Wellington New Zealand.

You keep in your money, babe. Yeah, I keep all my what dollars will these are. Yeah, I think those are some great ideas. I think Halley seemed particularly interested in the curling one being that you're weighing a curling, right? Oh, yeah, but I was confused. I thought they were maybe talking about cool running. So they're about Jamaica right? No, that's the reference I believe that was being made. You successfully identified.

Right, so I wish that I didn't I thought they would have had. You just want to watch cool runnings again is what I'm getting off this um Are we going to yeah, no, I liked you're yearly watching if coolie running good coolie running die hard young Uh, I would love to see a movie you're gonna be quizzed on the name of every single pitch about Billy Jules basis spraining his wrist. Because you know that other former flop house guest house, Schuban Prang would be there opening weekend. Sobbing. Yeah, a little known fact about Schuban Prang.

Big Billy Joel fan. Oh, okay. So put that in here. Gift idea. Jersey boys. Yeah. Thanks. This next letter is titled, Dear the Flop House, It's from Brian last name withheld. Hey Brian. How are you?

Everyone's always she is their last name. How are you? I am fine. In a recent episode you discussed the Is that your answer or was that his answer for you? No, no, I think he was saying how are you and then to reassure us he was just saying in case we ask which yeah we don't care to be honest right yeah jk but not really jk Rowling in a recent episode you discussed the classic illustrations and the scary stories to tell in the dark series I thought I could shed some light on the subject.

The illustrations were much better. Thank God, it's so much better than being a dark. Do you scary the dark? The illustrations were by Stephen Gamel and they were indeed terrifying. From my own part, I could not go to sleep without putting several books on top of the scary stories book to make sure the pictures could not escape.

I know this was stupid, I did not care. They're terrifying and upsetting. This is indeed why the illustrations were changed in the new editions. Basically, the publishers noticed that every single comment on the books was about how scary the pictures were, with about half of those comments being explicitly negative. For anniversary editions, they commissioned new illustrations by a series of unfortunate events artist Brett Hellquist, which are designed to compliment the stories rather than supplant them in the child's mind with soul-scaring nightmare visions. They're pretty good.

For fun bonus, check out the Realtops' came a fun romp about scary together to some love illustrated by Gamal and roughly the same style as the illustrated scary stories books It's bizarre you keep expecting kindly uncle Fred to pull a decomposing foot out of the picnic basket or something You're excited Brian last name with hell. What are we gonna say, howling? I so I was also read by my babysitter the entire The entirety of scary stories to tell in the dark and I'm okay she should have been fired I had to sleep on my car floor for four months but as a punishment No, because I was so scared I couldn't sleep in my own room but I I think that made it awesome like I

get so pissed when I have to read while I don't have to do this, but maybe when the lame stream video water stuff down Yeah, when I used to baby sitting I was like you think this is scary Well, you're a little bitch Because this isn't scary. Let me tell you how things were when I was a kid there was this guy who Illustrated to fucking sewer ratchet and chilla. And it was the worst thing. There was a scarecrow that would kill you.

There was a trunk that you could open and there was a skeleton in it, because she was a bride and she hid in there. And it was the saddest thing. It was her wedding day. They're playing hide and seek, because that's what you do in your wedding day. And there were stories that just had random drawings of like weird skulls floating and some kind of hairy, mead overs. I was hanging and talking. Like hanging, yeah. I mean, like the worst to me of those were always the section that

was like the urban legend section because, you know, I mean, the thing about urban legend is they're true. Well, no, but they're plausible. They're semi-plausible compared to the other stuff. And so, like, yeah, that was always the chair. Like, it's possible for somebody in the same house as you to be calling your house's phone. Yeah, that is possible.

No, but like, yeah, the wedding one, for instance, was one that stuck with me for years because that's so upsetting. The idea that it's like no right. That was her best day of her life. The best day of her life, which is locked in a trunk and dies. And there's no real bad guy. It's not about evil.

It's just about like, sh** can happen people. Yeah, there's no wake up. There's no like Tony Todd figured to explain that death is coming for you. So I think we all agree that those original illustrations were awesome. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm going to check out what was the name of the book he recommended?

That was also the same. The relative's came. The relative's came. Okay. Also that Mr. Last name withheld. Yeah. So this last letter It goes a little something like this it goes dear floppers

Long time co-host first time caller Elliott here. Oh, hey, Elliott to express my regret that I'll be taking a short absence from the Flop house, but first a special letter song just for this letter Elliott's letter to the flop house. It's L.E. its letter to the flop house. No need to grouse. Don't run off to Touse. Because it's L.E. its letter to the flop house. L.E. it K.L.N. that lovable scamp like the tramp half of Lady of the Trap. Not the Lady part. He has no Lady parts, if he did, he wouldn't

be absent from the flop house. But no, he has a penis, and that penis made a baby, not on its own, of course, but then again, maybe. That's called pathogenesis. At least I think that's what that is. What the point is, I'm riding through the flap house today. As I was saying, I'm running to apologize to our listeners for what will hopefully not be too prolonged in absence. The fact is I'm on podcasting paternity leave. Drake noises, Drake noises. Like, like, uh.

J-Rattle, J Rattle, Jane Rattle. Ghosts. On January 1st, I was blessed to become the father of a beautiful baby boy who already has better hair than Nicholas Cage. Is a better actor than Gerard Butler, and as the tall man would say, play as a good game, boy. You would say that. His name is Sammy Lincoln-Kalen, though I briefly considered naming him Dan Stewart-Kalen

before realizing that would be weird. Rest assured, this is only a temporary state-k for my role as a flapper, gross. Recording the flapp house, hanging with Stewart and Dan, and entertaining you wonderful fans are the brightest part of each week. I would only give them up in the face of something as important as literally making sure the human race continues into the next generation with a proper knowledge of Busby Berkeley, American history, and pay cable original softcore programming. And honestly, part of me is excited to rediscover what it would like to be a listener to the stupid podcast. Totally unprepared for whatever nonsense

the host come up with. So I'll be back home, I'll be back on the podcast, rather, sometime after January. Until then, be nice to Halle. She means well and she's living with a crippling soccer addiction. Dan, be good to your- His name is Grimland Butler. Dan, be good to your knee and remember the doctor said the best medicine was for you to keep talking about it. And Stuart, keep handing at the boners, worming and otherwise.

But a do for now, as I return to grooming the next era of Flop House host, that somehow someday future listeners yet unborn, will enjoy the slightly drunken ramblings of Samuel Lincoln-Kalen, Cage McDuck McCoy, and the Wellington twins, Invisible Freak, and Castle Maniac, signed Elliott last name with Hell. So, guys, did you, uh, did you guys know Ellie was married? I didn't know Ellie could write. I think he might be raising the baby on his own. Just getting his nanny is a beautiful wife Danielle. Don't worry, she doesn't listen to the show.

She's just not listening to the show. Probably less likely to listen to it now. So yeah, now what do we do, Dan? So thank you. Thanks for the first time listening to her, Elliott, last name with health for writing you. But the last segment on the show, the one I know most of you probably skip over. What is the recommendations movies that we actually kind of

liked that we would recommend you run out and see before perhaps watching battle of the year. Okay, that seems crazy. I wouldn't go that I'll start. I i'm gonna i'm gonna take lead on this one this is a recommendation uh... based on a recommendation that i got from the flop house facebook page if you're not a member you should uh... i don't know

ask the joiner well i don't know how you do it asked to join it i don't know fucking what up on the if like we get a million sex spots and asked to join our fucking face it's true that's the thing like always telling us we should fucking Everybody Ray Bay and sunglasses is a super good deal every time someone asks to join the flop house page I have to check and make sure that they're not like they don't have their photo isn't a hot Asian lady And their name isn't too like random words just slammed together I have to click on their name and be like, okay, were you born in 2013?

Yes, no, I have to block you. Because yeah, you're gonna try and sell sunglasses or shoes. That's weird, because every time I am the moderator at that point, I'm like, wow, it's a hot Asian lady. It likes the flabby. It's so sweet. It's so sweet. Oh, baby.

Click yes. hot agent lady likes the fly by it's not a weird baby like yes so this was a recommendation that I got off of the fly pass facebook page so so thank you I watched ninja colon shadow of a tear which is a direct-of-video action movie adventure and it stars Scott adkins from Scott adds it from Scott AdSit from 30 Rock. Scott Adkins from another one of my recommendations, which was Universal Soldier Day of Reckoning. It's a very much feels like a distillation of everything that was great about 80s like Ninja and like white guy Kung Fu movies It's a very basic story about a

Dude who it works in a dojo or something and his wife who is pregnant gets murdered And he has to go on a trail over revenge into the Myanmar jungle It does feature a small role. In a small role is the bad guy from Only God For Gives. So for all you guys who loved Only God For Gives, you can watch that. Yeah, so if you like watching a martial arts movie that has some really awesome action and actually some decent performances, I guess, watch Ninja, Colin, Shadow of the Tier. I'm going to very quickly recommend two movies, both of which were some of my favorites actually.

I saw this year, and there were both crickly claims, so it's not a surprise that I'm recommending them necessarily, but number one, the Wolf of Wall Street, which I saw over Christmas break, which stand up for the little guy here, Martin. Yeah, sure. I thought it was maybe the most entertaining movie I saw this year. It's three hours, but I thought it was super entertaining

throughout the entire thing. I do not agree with any of the criticisms or controversy about it, about how this glorifies a behavior. I think that it takes you inside the mind of this character. And I think that to understand the shitty behavior of a crazy, a prophet obsessed Wall Street guy, you have to be in that insular world. And a lot of people are complaining,

oh, there's no obvious punishment for them at the end. It's like, yeah, there's ever any obvious punishment for rich wrongdoers in Current America. I mean I don't think that that I feel like it's a very strange criticism of the film like we need a very obvious Moral come up as for this character, but it's it's very entertaining obviously come up for this character, but it's very entertaining. Obviously, Martin Scorsese is a great

director, but also I wanted to, I saw finally a Netflix streaming, Francis Ha, which is a movie that I was curious about, but I was kind of maybe a little leery of because I thought, you know, like I live in Brooklyn. You hate Noah Bambach. Well, no, I actually don't. A lot of people do, but I live in Brooklyn. I kind of was like, this might be too much of that. I don't know if I need it. I might be in this. Yeah. But like, it's an interesting movie

because the first 30 minutes are kind of the movie you expect it to be, or maybe a little longer and just when you're getting a little tired of that just when you're like, okay, well this is an episode of Girls That Is Running Long. It turns into something different. A horror mystery. Like audition. It turns into like a series of onyx. Be boys, come out.

In this case B bee stains are brookled. I've turned into a series of kind of unexpected vignettes. Like, a Greta Gerwig's character, Francis goes home and it's kind of one of the most sort of sad and bitter sweet, like beautiful, like depictions of what it is like to go home and visit your parents when you're an adult. There's a vignette where she goes to Paris and it doesn't go quite the way it might be planned. There's a vignette where she's a waitress

working a event at her old college that turns into kind of a semi-little like self-contained farce. Like the movie keeps taking turns that you don't necessarily expect it to and that's one of the reasons why I really enjoyed it. And it's a movie about someone growing as a person but in a very incremental realistic way where like just showing a very tiny amount of like self-improvement counts as a big sort of triumph by the end of the movie. And it's a lot of fun, it's funny. Haley. I am going to recommend a movie I saw last weekend

in theaters. No. In theaters. In theaters now. Instead of dirty Netflix movies. It's called The Great Beauty. It's an Italian film. And the only reason why I went to see it is because I wanted to do something cultured.

And the mo, I tried to go to the MoMA, but apparently the line to go to mo ma on Saturday is really long Mo ma Mo ma So I was like fuck this I guess I'll try and go to movie Fuck this noise So I went to this movie because it was telling you. And frozen was sold out, so you went to the Italian movie. And it is this really heartbreaking movie about, it's sort of about like what it feels like to... And I know a lot about this, like what it feels like to, and I know a lot about this,

what it feels like to have a lot of potential. No, but it's just sort of about not always thinking that you're going to realize your potential, but you have all these distractions and then coming to an older age and realizing, oh, I actually have to be in control of this. But there are a lot more layers that are sort of specifically Italian and political and religious. There's a lot of marinara sauce.

No, it's just like pretty... That's more Southern Italian cinema. It's just pretty amazing how many things are going on at once And also even if you're not interested in those things just how like visually beautiful it is It does go on for like 20 more minutes than I wanted it to which made me really angry at the time It's like a 70 minute movie. I mean Come on. No, but if you like people No, but if you like old people

being in class, didn't you say? It's a pain in your closet. No, if you like old people being really hedonistic and you like giraffes, you might like this movie. You've got a little cross section. It's really good. So we've recommended Old People and Giraffes, AK, The Great Beauty, Francis Ha and Wolf of Wall Street and Ninja 2, Shadow of the Tier. A real cross section. But yeah, now's the sad time where I have to.

Oh, we gotta sign off. We gotta take our lead. Oh, that's too bad. It's been really great. This is actually kind of a big deal, because this is the last show in our old studio. In our studio being my apartment. I'm moving to a different apartment and

regions of Papa Rotsos you'll have to go stalk us somewhere else. Yeah, Elliot's baby is Means that he's not here for either the last episode In my old apartment or the first episode coming up in our new apartment. Halley We'll be here for these historic episodes setting a new tone for 2014. More positive tone. Yeah. Fuck that guy. Whoa. Just boss. Fuck that guy boss. I believe. Sorry sir. Ellie. Yeah. I can come dresses. Ellie. For the next show. She wanted. I do want that. So I'm like kind of a western shirt. Yeah, I can wear some dinosaur on it.

Yeah. Yeah. We miss you, Ilya. We really did. Shadowlooms, large. So I guess this is where we sign off. For the flop house, I've been Dan McCoy. I'm Stuart Wellington.

I'm Hallie Hagland. Good night night everyone. Hang on with a baby. I think he's babysitting. He wrote an email. He needed a second job. You got a big promotion to babys Sitter of his own baby. He's had Baby Sitter. Meaning he sits on the head of a baby. And I don't know how to finish this.

Gross.
