Because someone won a contest and definitely not because it's black history month, we discuss the Flop House, I'm Dan McCoy.
And over there is Elliot Kalen.
And right across from me saying that thing is Stewart Wellington.
And we are the Flop Houses.
Podcasts.
Air Flop House.
Why are we giving those up?
I don't know.
And wouldn't be Dust Flop House?
And it would be Dust Flop in House.
Dust Flop in House.
OK, let's start all over.
OK.
I'm Dan McCoy.
I am Elliot St. Wellington.
I am Stewart and Dan.
And we are the floppy house.
Right at our is playing at wait, we're not doing that bit right now.
Okay, so thanks for tuning in.
We're a podcast.
We talk about bad movies after we watch them.
Yup. And did we try to do it before we watch them?
We'd be like, is this movie going to be bad?
I don't know. we don't much talk about
How was your day fellas
I told you would say yeah
But Julian fell
So normally we watch a new-ish bad movie and by new-ish I mean Jewish
New a Jewish bad movie like like the Yiddish vampire or a serious man
No, it's a good movie or Dracula dead and loving it. Yeah, or Dracula
That one wears Jewish
No, it's fraud you
And let's not forget a vampire in Brooklyn. Yeah, he's in the in the orthodox section of Williamsburg
and let's not forget a vampire in Brooklyn. Yeah.
He's in the orthodox section of what he's for.
Yeah, exactly.
He's mostly, instead of sucking people's blood,
he's mostly angry at cyclists.
Yeah, well, here's the problem is it's not kosher
to eat blood.
And he, but he's got to because he's a vampire.
And he drives a really awesome minivan, hers.
Yeah, and his mother's always like,
have you heard of my son, the vampire?
He could have been a doctor, but no, a vampire.
Um.
That joke copyright 1956.
So anyway, we normally watch a movie that is new.
From the past year or so.
We like to, we like to put it ourselves.
Yeah, something new to DVD or video on demand usually, but in this case, we are, we watched a film that was requested by our contest winner.
You may remember that we had a, he's the house cat, parentheses, Arthur's theme, music video
contest.
And there were some fantastic entries.
I would call it our most successful contest.
It was based on the quality of the work provided, yes.
But not based on the quality of the movie we had to watch no because the jerk who won the
contest. Wow. Burn. David Burn. He decided that we should watch the movie.
Hey guys, you should watch the movie.
Baps those David burn winning the contest.
Well, that's really impressive.
It's a Baps is be asterisk a asterisk.
No, be period asterisk a asterisk. No, no, B period asterisk.
Period.
On the poster, it's asterisk.
It's clearly, it's clearly it's totally asterisk.
It's like a match.
It's not like how Neo Tokyo is about to E dash X dash P dash L dash
Oh, dash D dash E dash.
I mean, dash, I mean, as if you look at the poster, if you go to IMDb,
there are asterisks.
So what is so their footnotes to the title is what you're saying. All related to the same thing for some reason.
Yeah, because otherwise it would be an asterisks across, double crosses and so forth.
And that stands for Black American Princesses, which is something that is not explained by
the movie until the very end.
And it's not even really explained until the at the end.
Yeah.
Uh, it's a kind of slur as they pointed out.
Very much so.
A Jewish slur.
It is the, I guess, black version of a Jewish slur,
but it is used as a term of a German at the end.
Uh, by the vampire.
When Academy Award,
the vampire and Brooklyn Academy Award winner, Martin Landau,
expresses his love for future Academy Award winner Halle Berry
in this movie called Baps.
And her friend
played by
actress
T.E.T.
Wow, damn
that's the kind of bro humor we're trying to avoid.
That is
I say that only
in that the movie
seems to only define her as Shelby
Friend to Hallibary.
They have to, each character has one, then okay, so there's Hallibary and there's Natalie
DeCell Reed is the other.
Three, I know it.
She went on to be America's sweetest.
Thank you, Wikipedia.
But they are best friends and they each have one character to trade.
Natalie is, no, no, she has a couple. Natalie, please, could have Mickey. Mickey is so fine. She's so fine. She blows
my mind. I didn't know you were into that. Yeah. Yeah. You're like a mind real Martin Landau
over there. There's Mickey, who is a good cook and sassy as they both are sure overweight and also well grown to argue and
and there's neat and there's niecey play by hailey very whose character trade is wants to be
a flag girl and that's about it also prone to argue prone to argue sassy and so forth now i
feel like we'll be picking our words even more carefully than during the titha parry uh i don't
think we will temptation episode well just because like like I think that because I'm a racist.
The movie is a racist trap for us by indulging in the worst racist stereotypes of like a cartoon
sketch comedy version of like. Like people. Yeah, like, this is, oh, hairdressing.
They've all got long-sing and air.
They're all, all they want to do is dance and shake their butts
and eat soul food and they have long nails and yet, et cetera, et cetera.
They've got huge haircuts and they're really,
they don't understand anything about anything
that's supposed to be sophisticated or classy.
Right, and this movie directed by Robert Townsend,
the man who made Hollywood shuffled,
the comedy about how there's no good roles
for black actors.
Yeah, because he took him when he was a meteor man.
Yeah, sure.
It took the best role.
The guy who ended Robert Town,
and hence, so he got the name.
Actually, it's like Howard's End, but for Robert Town.
I do like that idea though.
We still are like, oh, the best meteor man
are going to white actors.
But why turn? But why turn? as Dan, as you were mentioning,
we were talking during the movie
because it was really boring.
Robert Townsend started out and made a couple of movies
that got him a lot of attention.
And since then, it's been kind of a long slide
with Baps in it.
But he seems to be doing all right.
He gets getting a lot of television directing work as many
Film directors are doing these days, you know TV's where it's at guys
Take it easy
There's a podcast about movies. Yeah, okay, we get it. We'll watch the wire or something
Anyway, and he can always rely on his brother Pete Thompson for a little bit of money every now and then
He panted the windmill move so any any other guitarist, she does that.
Anytime he calls Pete Townsend, he says,
this is what you want to do if he calls you.
He goes, hi, the speed town didn't go, who?
Get it?
Because you want to get him to hang up.
That's quickly as possible.
You don't want to talk to him.
I think you're going to be like, hey, it's your brother.
Your brother, Robert Townsend.
You know what it sound?
You been looking for him? About his generation? Anyway, let brother, Robert Townsend. You know what it's sound even looking more?
About inspiration?
Anyway, let's do a talk about what this movie is about.
Maybe like, oh, if I can lose it.
Let's go now.
Let me please.
He's like, yeah, I tell the man that it's...
I recorded that 40 years ago, yeah, that's...
It's, that's my song, I wrote it.
It's a song called, let my love open the door.
Like, okay, let's later, Pee. Anybody? Then he hangs up on his brother Robert anyway here's a word to Bratz or whatever we want
Now Bradson baps have a lot in common and that the name sounds similar and they're about ladies doing it for themselves
masturbating
That's not what I meant. No
The example of ladies doing it for them. I've seen a've seen a lot of movies about ladies doing it for themselves.
Yeah, I don't want to hear about those.
Well, the podcast is on.
Okay.
So, I'll get you a list later.
So, Nese and Mickey live in Georgia and they work at a soul food diner.
They're waitresses.
Bernie Mac runs the diner.
Yep.
And they-
He's a stern task man.
He stops by to depress us
because he's left us by reminding us of the death that would occur a year just later.
You think every actor is reminding us of our own mortality. Yeah every actor by
eventually dying is just setting us up to be sad. Except two humans. Except of course Martin Landau, who is a vampire
or a Dawson Walpire.
He's a regular nose for a Jew.
Anyway, so they are, they get fired
because they are not particularly good.
They're not gonna work.
They got fired.
I thought that was just them with their shift.
Or maybe they got Doc's pay or something.
I thought they got fired.
But anyway, they wanna to open the first combination
of hair salon and soul food restaurant
because why not?
They love hair, they love soul food.
Let's make it happen.
And they love hair getting cut and falling people's food.
Falling in people's, I guess, you know,
fried open things like that.
Sure, your collagreens, your cornbreads.
You got to give it to the famous famous food, Dan.
What?
You got to give it to the famous food. got to give it to the fan. What?
You got to give it to the fan.
It's like crashing tiger and dragon.
You don't really think Chinese people
can fly around, right?
Yeah.
What?
You just got to accept it.
You just believe that it happens.
Yeah.
It's part of the, I think we really have said
and bummed in out.
First we show him a dead actor now talking
about crashing tiger and dragon.
All his least favorite things.
Human mortality, the work of Anglic.
Anyway, so they see an ad and hear an ad
and then see it again on TV for a fly girl contest
to be a dancer in a new Hevy D video.
No kidding, world famous Hevy D.
The heaviest.
Above the D.
Mr. D himself, Hevy. Please, Mr. D lives in Florida call me heavy.
Is that his dick? Is that what's heavy? I don't, is that heavy? I don't, maybe a heavy dog
you own. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. His words are pretty heavy. Maybe he's a
damn one. Yeah. Or is it like defense like tenacious D? Like Doritos. It's probably Doritos.
like tenacious D like Doritos it's probably Doritos when they both disponsors should be just sure to do yeah I think it's for
dorm house because he loves baby carriage remouls and wonderland if half-heart is
happy Doritos yeah it's for deflator miles his favorite opera
yes
deflator
heavy deflator maps he's watching and he's going, oh, this character would be so much better if he was heavier.
You know what this, this opera needs some soul.
Anyway.
Okay, so something about a heavy-d video.
So they want it.
Would you call that a MacGuffin, Ellie?
I would call it a MacGuffin, and I'll tell you why, because...
It never comes up to me.
He's in total waste of our time.
So, Halle Berry sees this ad.
She says, I want to win the $10,000
of me named video, Woman of the World,
or something like that.
They go to LA, they fly there to audition for this video,
and the audition goes poorly.
How poorly?
So poorly, we're not even shown it in the film.
We see them.
We see them.
We see them after math.
We see them waiting online.
They briefly irritate the other dancers online cut to and catch the eye of a
Las Sivias spanned
Aren't they all Stewart aren't they all a regular pus and apostrophe boots
but the we cut to Halle Berry and and Mickey just walking out and they've all their hairs all destroyed.
Apparently they got into some fight
and hit some girls with their hair.
We don't get to see it.
The movie team did not essential.
But it's so weird.
It's like if Star Wars, if they showed us them
preparing for the Death Star Trench run,
cut to them getting their medals.
And it's like, all right, I guess they didn't want us
to see the scene that was leading up to that's maybe is because every scene up to this
point was so chock full of jokes they had nothing they could cut and they're like, fuck it,
just cut this you know what we're running like we're running long on time we got it we got
to cut all the scenes we need we can't cut the like seven male characters who show up and
like lick their lips and like try and hit on them. There's one guy who used...
You can't cut the cavalcade of minor Black celebrities.
There's one guy who you see in a club hitting on a girl and then you never see him again.
It's like, all right, I guess that was just the one I thought he was going to be a character,
but he's just, you know...
Well, it's to add a little bit of character to this club to make it feel realistic,
Ali.
That's our club.
Because every time you go to a club, there's one guy who, while talking to one girl,
is looking at every other wife's butt.
Oh, so it's day as a time out.
I think that's what he was doing, right?
He was checking out other girls' butts, yeah.
I don't know if they were wives, but...
I mean, you don't know that they're not.
That's a good point.
We also don't see them.
We're just assuming he's looking at women.
They don't actually.
No, no, the women walk by.
Really?
Yeah, you see women walk by.
Okay.
Anyway, it's a scene that's not no bearing
on what little plot there is in this.
Anyway, they also have two lazy, no-account boyfriends
who will not get off their butts and get a job.
Yeah.
But so they have to escape this life and go to LA.
They fail the audition.
Uh-oh, luckily that to LA. They fail the audition. Uh oh, luckily that,
the moon is not over.
Luckily the lusty Latin who saw them says,
I have a job for you.
Takes them away in a car,
says, are you actresses?
Yes, of course.
Takes them away in a car to a huge mansion,
which we see every single room of throughout the film.
And each room is presented to us
as if we've never seen the inside of a mansion room before.
And while this is happening,
there's the music that plays over it is like,
happy puppy Dennis the Menace, kids music.
The score in this movie makes no sense.
It's like they just took an all these.
Alistair Vesri scoring Milo and Otis.
There's a thing.
Just like whatever, we don't have time to finish baps.
Just throw on whatever score you can grab.
And the composer continues to work to this day, right?
Making puppy movies or?
Yeah, yeah, the puppy bully scores every year.
But the point is like all of this heavy D. McGuffin.
It's not a baby buddy.
It basically all just serves to get the Baps
to Beverly Hills to a rich place.
What the Beverly Hillbilly's dispenses with in a song
at the beginning of the show is the first 20 minutes of this movie.
And the scenes are not particularly trim.
This is a slow-paced, very lackadaisical scene.
See, fat 90 minutes.
Every scene has a font like a closing joke and then a good couple seconds.
Like, the audience is going to be fucking crank up.
We're going to be fucking rollin' while you're heading.
We're also gonna miss all the other jokes.
See, like the Marks Brothers, they took this out as a road show,
and they timed where all the laughs were.
Yeah, night at the Bap's Ra.
Yeah.
They really, they were like, look, each scene's one joke,
is so gut-busting, hilarious, that we've been
making scene 10 to 12 minutes long.
We turned the rest of the scene into a dramedy.
Well, yeah, when they originally tested the movie,
people were laughing so much that nobody could follow the plot.
So they had to...
Like, we got to put out a special director's cut.
Yeah.
That's 80, what, four minutes long?
It's weirdly as if Robert Townsend directed it
and then like a down on his luck,
Michelangelo and Tony O'Neal edited the movie.
It's like longer, longer, each one, longer.
I want more on we in these maps.
Like I'm surprised none of the scenes accidentally caught
the actor just wandering on camera.
Like cut, okay, we can go.
We're done, right?
We good, we good, Rob.
Okay, I guess I'll just keep staring at the baps.
Anyway, they are brought to this mansion
where they are told by a,
I thought he was gonna be revealed as gay,
a vaguely effeminate man that his uncle, Martin Landau,
is dying and his one true love, this old man,
was his family's black maid when he was young
But their love was not to be the family tore them apart and so now to keep him happy in his old age
He wants Halle Berry to pretend to be this maid's granddaughter all grown up so that Martin Landau can I guess
It's kind of never really said what he's gonna get at his relationship, whether it's just like to
relive his romance or
Finally have sex with a black woman. It really does it. I'm not sure exactly what what Marta and I was supposed to get out just hanging around with his ex girlfriends
I think is the first time we've actually had gaslighting in a movie, right?
This is really kind of real gaslighting. Yeah, that's really all the elaborate ruse
Okay, she's not the granddaughter. She's not the granddaughter. There's a lot of
culture clash comedy. Comedy quotes as they as they meet up with
the best character in the movie. The butler. Yeah. Named
manly. But who Alfred manly refers to as Alfred. No, he's
not Alfred manly. It's not Alfred manly. No, she calls him
Alfred because he's like Alfred manly it's not Alfred manly no she calls him Alfred because he's like batman
You see this fucking person
So they have me seems really ruffled when they call him Alfred, so with the most important thing to know about
Manly is he's played by Ian Richardson who was the star for the original British House of cards
Timely yeah, like a recording this of course right after the second season of Netflix's American House of cards And the time limit. Yeah, the time limit. The time limit. Yeah, the time limit. The time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit.
Yeah, the time limit. Yeah, the time limit. Yeah, the time limit. Yeah, the time limit. Yeah, the time limit. I will give it this rocket Kevin space is gonna go on to making a maps to yeah, of course
Yeah, it's gonna be it's not the American American America
It's a pretty babs reboot
Kevin space it's not bad. It's a bad sitting on a ledge staring at their fist in the rain
The babsman begins. Yeah, babsman begins of course and rat finger babs boo
That's the red Dennis Bapsler version.
Anyway, so I will say this for Ian Richardson.
Like all British actors in crappy movies, he does a professional job and gives it his
all.
And there's one scene, there's one scene I genuinely laughed at where he was trying to
get the attention of a clerk in a CD store.
And for one second, that was funny.
So nice work, the late Ian Richardson is still alive.
I'm not sure about that. I think he died in the house.
Ian Richardson just, yeah, just, Ian Richardson just email us if you're okay. How you doing?
He's at flop house at the flop house dot flop house.
Sure.
I don't need to use slash go.
Just add mail us at obituaries at b-flop house.
Email us at s. Email us at obituaries at b-mails.a-s.
email us at.com email us at e in Richardson.
I'm alive.
Don't worry about me at the flop house dot maps.
Slash Google image search.
Dot geocities rated R.
So anyway, they get there.
We're gonna be part of this gaslighting plot
Meanwhile, so and we think this butler character is gonna be like the the foil. He's gonna be bad He's the he's the rigid anti-black person who gets one over and decides that he really likes them almost immediately after
He sticks up again. He says a fair number soul food. They cook soul food for Mark Landau who it turns out is the old man
He's apesit for and now remember this is
There's a couple years after Mark Landau won an Academy of War playing
That will go see it would this is like this is 40 years this is 40 years after he was in North Bend, Northwest
Three years after he won a kid award and now he's bapsin it up, just doing the old man given a new jump on life by younger person routine.
It's terrible.
Although there's a scene where he is asking
Halle Berry's character about, you know,
basically about her grandmother who doesn't exist,
or I guess exists but isn't her grandmother.
And the difference in like Martin Landau's subtlety
has line delivery and Halle Berry's over the top comedic like the stuffing food in her mouth so she
can't be understood you know I thought you were gonna go to the fact that
there's a scene where Martin Landau of course goes out on a shopping spree with
the paps you know that's the mood that's the scene that I assume was it's the
good that you need that scene that's's the way it's seen. When Robert Tams was pitching the movie.
Like Marnland has pitching the movie.
My land has.
It's Robert Tams.
Look, I love this map script.
You'll be the perfect director for it.
I don't know.
It seems like I've been trying to make movies
that really talk about the black experience in an honest way.
No, no, nothing's more honest than Baps.
Please, you have to tell this story, Robert. I'm a mechanic. I'm a ward winner.
Picture this. I exit the dressing room.
He exit the vampire. Blah, blah, Robert. Blah.
That's the night on sweet music they make.
I don't drink Baps.
And so forth. Those are lines from Dracula.
Yeah. Anyway, so the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the and fire this is LA Kaelin pulling a triumphant call to arms to all those
LA Kaelin voice haters out there
yeah yeah we're making a lot of off-hand references to to bad people
thanks to people have said about us in common sections well look we're we're
we got within skin that's why we're in comedy anyway so Robert Townsend was
sitting there he said Martin I'm not sure if this is really
what you're gonna talk about.
No, Marlando said, take a look at this. Slammed his Academy Award from Edwin on the desk.
Oscar wants you to make this movie Robert because he wants a friend and
Baps is gonna get me that Oscar. And Robert Townsend was like, all right, I guess
some Marlando, I mean you're a legend and then every day I assume on the shooting
shooting that's at Robert Townsend with Turner Martin going go fuck you.
Why did you wrote me into this movie Martin and Martin would say I'm an imp.
Tails from the Martin.
This is the twist ending.
The twist ending too, the making of it.
Wait is that why the crypt is from the crypt? It's named after the
crypt keeper?
His name is Crypt K Eaper.
The case stands for Kevin.
It's tales from Kings of
really strange.
It's tales from TH E crypt Thomas Heathcliff and
we're crypt
anyway I'm so amazed with the idea that like the twist of it is like I've trapped
you into making a terrible movie that's the ironic turn you know I'm already
made media man right like I've made movies um well I forgot about medium by the way
we've all been dead the whole time I don't think so
you're not these terms these twist don't possibly in Richardson
don't they often involve like puns or like a play on words like uh
perhaps no get this not it's not a real phrase the movie introduced that phrase
and doesn't explain it till the very end. It's just reading the movie poster you made.
Yeah.
Because Martin Landau put the movie poster together.
Yeah.
I've cast Halle Scary.
Julie.
Wait, Julie.
Barry is in the number of Mark and Joe.
The Barry.
Halle Buried.
How about that?
Yeah. Um, when buried. How about that?
Yeah.
When we get to this movie, I don't even remember.
So, they basically become Martin Landau's friend.
They make him soul food and he gets his energy back.
They teach him how to dance.
They take him on a shopping montage, which is a pretty fun shopping montage.
But it turns out, and meanwhile, the Latin Lothario is seducing Mickey, the friend.
But it turns.
Three thick one that makes all for.
And I'm not saying thick.
They put it in the head.
That's not fake.
They put it in the head.
That's not fake.
I'm not sure how to be offended by that,
but I am offended by it.
I'm not sure why I am specifically, but anyway,
meanwhile, it turns out the nephew is clearly
skimmed with the chauffeur the Latin guy to
frame the baps for robbing Martin Landau, but it doesn't work out and
I don't remember the camera. It's really an elaborate frame job because he
He is making like he's seducing her while wearing some driving gloves and then like tricks her into touching a safe and to try and open up a safe
He's like wouldn't be sexy if you touch a safe into trying to open up a safe. He's like, wouldn't it be sexy if you touched the safe?
Unto Lively, women opening safe's fetish.
But then later, Halle Berry and Mick Ear and Bad,
they share Bad, of course,
because it's like a fucking Lucy show episode.
And because this movie was made in the 30s.
Yeah, they both sit bolt upright
with their little sleep masks on.
And fucking bandanas in there. They're cucumbers over their eyes.
But anyway, they hear noise and they run downstairs.
A robber is breaking in.
It's the chauffeur.
And he proceeds to stand there while they take turns
punching him in the face.
Yes, I like that.
Never tries to leave.
Never fights back.
He just stands there while they punch him.
Well, saying like, that's not how Rocky punches.
Rocky punches like this.
I like Tyson. He's an almond punch like Mike Tyson. Sorry. Yeah, because black people love Rocky. They're all they punch him while saying like let's know how Rocky punches Rocky punches like
Mike Tyson, yeah, cuz black people love Rocky that when it comes to boxers
Rocky is the one that a young black person would really gravity a great white hope the Rocky, you know Who I can really relate to not Tyson not only Italian saying
1997 that's that's the movie that's on the top of everybody's tongue is Rocky.
Rocky, you know what?
Nineteen-year-old movie I was thinking about.
Yeah, he's a regular.
Like in the 20-21-year-old movie.
So they punch him a lot and then the nephew...
Do you even punch him a lot, Elliot?
Do you do you deserve four or five times?
That's not a lot.
It's a lot for a movie like, or BAPS.
It's not a lot of this was American Ninja. This is fist of the North Star. It's not a lot. It's a lot of movie like her baps. It's not a lot of this is American Ninja.
This is fist of the North Star.
It's not even one movie.
But for baps, it's a lot of punches.
It's during no one else gets punched.
It was punched the movie.
It was a line punch the film.
The true story of one man and his devotion to punching.
But anyway, so the nephew sells out the chauffeur
And then everyone just kind of keeps going and hangs out they throw a party everyone's friends
The Butler ranges for their their boyfriends to come back and the boyfriends have changed their ways. Yeah off screen again off camera
They have a hallowy very dances one, another one falls in a pool,
and Martlando dies.
Yeah, you're really glossing over the.
There's not a lot of movie in this movie.
What am I leaving?
It feels like after a certain point, they're like,
oh, this is the time where they need love interest.
I guess bring those other two dudes back.
It really feels like the movie was made up as they went along.
Yeah, well, I mean, we did like you were saying like,
oh, these characters journey won't be complete unless they get some arbitrary love interest
by the end of it.
And they couldn't think of anyone else because it's not like the fucking butler is going to marry
one of them.
But that would have been an interesting choice.
Now, there is a brave film.
Yeah.
But before Marlanda shuffles off this moral coil,
there are a couple scenes where it becomes clear to him
that the BAPS are his only true friends in this world.
They're not in it for the money.
They offer, he offers each of them a check for $50,000,
saying thanks for everything.
And they, and they're.
Was that kind of money they could start their business
of hair cutting and food preparation?
Put together, it's 10 times as much as they were hoping to get from heavy D,
who has a hilarious cameo as himself in a restaurant.
And by hilarious, I mean,
excruciating.
But it's there.
I mean, it happens in front of you and you're like, can I look away?
No, I can't say a ludovico experiment.
Anyway.
Can I block up my ears?
No, there's still way too loud.
But he offers them checks for $50,000 and they say, no, we're not in this for the money
and they tear up the checks and he goes, I thought the only person I could trust was Lily,
his long lost girlfriend.
But now I know I can trust you, Baps.
He doesn't say Baps, but he might as well.
Then he dies and everyone said and they have the reading of the will and this is literally
goes the lawyer his lawyer says I being of sound heart and mind would like it
incontestively known that to my beloved baps and they're like baps just black
American princesses I leave and then the music swells and we don't hear a single
fucking thing after that point yeah we don't hear what we just see reaction shots
The baps going crazy and then we see the lawyer sings something and then the butler is like
And all everyone's thanking the congratulating the butler and then we see the nephew get mad and walk out and it's lit
It feels as days that like an audio problem on the set on the one take they do this scene
They just covered it music and then they're celebrating the end
Uh-oh, which literally writes on with calligraphy crosses out
the beginning and they've opened up their
comfort food slash oh so that's their soul food slash hair salon the butler now works for them as I guess they're public
Publicists I'm not sure. I don't think you've skilled in that field
I straight it in his conservative, uh,
Sapple Rose suits for a white suit.
And I decided to look like one of the dirty rotten scoundrels.
And, uh, and, uh, the lawyer is now also, I guess, their business partner.
Yeah.
Their boyfriends have a picture show for business.
Or have a similar.
He's working for them at this point.
The, the nephew has a serious case against them.
What I love is I didn't realize that you could make a will
incontestable in court by just writing incontestively.
I give my money too.
It seems like more wealthy.
You should just put that word in.
If that's all it takes, it's like,
oh, there'd be so many civil suits that'd be avoided.
Just into everything.
You know, there's any to any.
I didn't know that when the Native Americans were writing
those treaties with Americans, Americans all they had to write was incontestively.
Oh, I want to steal your land so bad and I can't do it.
The lawyers like I look I wish there was something I could do but they said incontestable.
It is literally the legal systems magic word.
The same way that when you say so sue me to somebody they have to sue you legally
But yeah, that was like a summoning and when you say don't have a cow man They cannot purchase a cow or even eat beef
But it's clear that the baps or some better cow man hybrid. I'm assuming they can't have a good depends on how they super
Now emphasize it. Yeah, say don't have a cow man
Then you can't you can't have the any of the lost cowboys a mumeza
Or that one Ninja Turtles character who was like a humanoid bull Yeah, say don't have a cow man. Then you can't you can't have the any of the lost devil is a mumeza
or that one digital's character who was like a humanoid bull.
But it's clear that the Baps and the boy Baps are going to lose this money within two months.
The Baps are terrible.
It is a terrible idea.
Even though
and they don't know like three or four branches at one time.
That's crazy. Yeah, they're expanding too fast.
Yeah, come on.
You know, have a good flagship organization in franchise.
I mean, Dennis Rodman's there before his politics got in the way, right?
Yes.
This is before he became a dictator's best friend, Dennis Rodman.
The man, the one man who successfully got kicked out in North Korea.
I like the idea, like you say,
dictator's best friend and I immediately think of a product.
The dictator's best friend.
But what would their product be, Dan?
It's like a wrestling buddy, right?
I just do it's like a really strong deodorant.
Who's gonna listen to your every whim when you're sweating?
I just thought it's somehow like it's a tablet that automatically poisons the member of your family that's plenty.
It can tell.
Somehow it can tell.
So a battery's not included robot that flies around.
Yeah.
Exactly.
So what?
A go bot.
So, so baps, guys.
So, thanks.
British Athenian Polygisian sex.
This is for a movie where nothing happens.
The stars, screenwriter, and director
were all African-American. This is possibly
one of the more racist depiction of black people I've seen in a film. It goes a little
too far in being cartoonish into a territory where it's like, this is uncomfortable. But
hey, you know what? Maybe we're just being overly sensitive because we're afraid of being
called racist.
I mean, it was pretty racist against the white butt
learn Martin Land, but it's also shown to be.
It literally is like, it's such an old-fashioned thing
of like blacks or funky, white people uptight.
It should've been made in like 1976.
Instead of it made in 1997, I just get the way we're watching it.
But that's later this movie. Two years years after this movie the matrix would be made feels like
I'm thinking of movies from different centuries at this point. Yeah, this movie was up against Fargo for best picture
Oh, we've got my two baps was nominated for best pictures. It won the New York Critics Award
And no, but it was nominated for an award according to Wikipedia.
Baps was nominated for the best actress,
Acapoco Black Film Festival Award.
Halle Berry, unfortunately she lost.
Let's see.
Did you went on to win the Academy, oh?
But not for Baps.
Are you sure that it's not just a Baps acronym?
Best actress, Acapocoko. Boom, best.
So there's the P and Oka Polko.
You're saying it super weird.
I don't know what you're doing.
I'm gonna see who the winner is.
Now, and guys, as a podcaster.
And the winner of that year was Vivica A. Fox for Soul Food.
Sure.
And as a podcaster and a listener of podcasts,
I know a thing or two about overtalking,
but the two leads of this movie overtalk more than anybody
I've ever heard on a podcast.
It's a lot of, it's much like a fucking mumble core movie.
It's like his girlfriend, they were an overlapping dialogue.
Robert Townsend saw his girlfriend,
and he said, I found my back.
It took like 25 minutes into the movie
before I knew what the main characters' names were.
I think that might be partly the movie and partly how much attention we give to
the movie.
But look, there's a lot of talent involved in this film.
Unfortunately, it just didn't work out this one time.
It was the Skadoo of the 90s.
Yeah, definitely.
So, thanks for making us watch it, Context.
Yeah, let's move on to Final Jesuits on this movie.
It's a good bad movie, a bad bad movie,
or a movie you kind of like.
Stuart Stringing, so Ellie, why don't you say?
I would say it might be a fun one for a bunch of races
to watch and make fun of.
I don't know.
But I would say a bad bad movie, but not even necessarily
because it was stupid or not funny.
It was just very slow and kind of dull. For for a movie that could have been that sounds crazy sounds
crazier than it was yeah there's a lot of the characters kind of hanging around the house and
there's a like even when they do us the classic confused by a bidet scene where a bidet
is amazing and it doesn't score it everywhere. It's like a fucking fire hose You would destroy your private use that bidet. It will hurt you you would have tearing
It was this smart lander like for the strongest ainas
smart lander should have had a scenery goes like well. I like a good scouring of the rectum
That's why my bidet is set to anti civil rights march fire hose
but the the
It was just even that scene scene went on too long,
was really slowly paced and didn't have a payoff.
There were very few jokes for a comedy.
Yeah, I mean, this is...
The first half of the movie, they're like,
people will laugh into their gold teeth so much.
We won't even need other jokes.
This is borderline good bad movie
because it is extravagantly bad
in a way that we don't normally see and you were saying kind of innocently bad
innocently bad like it feels like a
bad movie from the like the 40s got made in 97 or something but
It's yeah, you're right. It's too
boring overall to like really
Reach the heights of a good bad movie.
Yeah.
Let's do what you think.
Yeah, it's going to, I guess it's going to be a bad bad movie.
I, I feel like-
Listen to your heart, Stuart.
You don't have to go into the peer pressure.
I feel like we do.
The comedic tropes that this movie borrows from, or borrows, are better used in a little movie
called Twin Citters.
And are use a little better.
So if you're looking for like the idea of like the rags to riches, Cinderella store.
Kind of a rich people poor people clash.
Yeah.
That also has bodybuilders.
I'd see twin sitters.
Twin bodybuilders babysitting twin rich kids is John Paragon in it.
Yes.
Because he directed it or disorderly.
Go ahead.
Yeah. That's the other thing
Is it fell a little bit last day and said like disorderly's but without the fat boys? They said these fat boys are distracted me too much from the plot of disorderly's
Get me the baps
And the beer they drink baps blew ribbon
So yeah, I almost wish they'd put more effort into this and then it would have been a good bad movie.
Before we move on, I just want to put on a plug for one of our all things comedy,
podcasting, network, brethren, Farley Brothers Radio, which has comedians Kevin and John Farley, brothers I assume, and host
Karissa Costa talking about life love
and all things Farley.
I don't know what that means, all things Farley.
Maybe they're talking about it.
Keep your feeling how little you know about this Farley.
They're talking about Farley's dog
and Farley's nature.
For better and worse.
For worse, Farley.
That's a move, you're right.
Yeah.
The time that I Farley, better better and worse far less a move. Yeah, the time at eye Farley the kids show now, but
They have had a lot of
They've had a lot of great guests. They've had David Spade, Norbakedon old Sandra Taylor and her dick and Chris Katana
Andrew dick
Please I'm trying to have a new image
It's Andrew Richard. Please. This is one of my serious roles is Andrew Richard
Well, I was saying this is my breakout into the legitimate theater
It's when he was playing he was playing the butler in the reboot of maps
It's me stay in the stage for
The role of Rick the show Andrew Richard. It's a maps the stage adaptation.. And you grow a little bit. She'll Andrew Richard. It's a baps the stage adaptation.
Yeah.
It's a drawing room comedy.
Uh, no, but uh, check out the musical.
Check out.
Baps the musical on Broadway.
Never.
Well, closed already.
Okay.
So I had the idea and it closed off Broadway.
They closed in their morning before we were so far.
Lee Brothers Radio.
But yeah, but you can't see Baps the Musical, why don't you go listen to Farley Brothers
Radio over at ATC.
On All Things Comedy, your place for All Things Comedy.
Not All Things Considered.
That's a different thing.
Unless what's being considered as comedy, in which case, yes.
Not the All Thing.
No, we don't talk about that.
That's for a different podcast.
Yeah, our podcast about it.
A weird religion podcast.
Wears, spaghetti monsters,
catholules, etc.
It's so worth it.
I've never seen this spaghetti monster in catholule
in the same room at the same time.
Sure.
And he does have tentacle face.
That would be a really weird room.
Yeah.
We've been non-uclidean architecture. Now. Um, we'll be none you, Clyde, in architecture.
Now a natch.
We move on to the next segment, which is letters from listeners.
Um, mail time.
Mail call.
Call in the mail.
Call it up.
Hey, mail.
Is that you?
I got the machine.
Hey, mail.
This is the fuck house.
Come on by.
Give us a call when you're back.
Oh, you just picked up. Hey, mail. Mail call. Call in the mail.O.P.O.S. Come on by. Give us a call when you're back. Oh, you just picked up.
Hey, male, male call. Call them the male. Oh, I have the wrong number. Forget it. Let's call them
male and the male call. I'll give that song credit for being very different than the normal
letters. I mean, I'm trying to branch out. Yeah. Yeah. He's the stodgy judge. You just
allowed it. There's nothing in the rule book that says he can't sing a letter song. So this first letter is from Klappy last name withheld who writes, dear floppers,
as you may be aware, the superhero fighting game dishonored gods among us is quickly
running out of interesting characters to release as downloadable content. Two green
lanterns, what on earth? There's a whole fucking core of them. Sure. And I didn't mean to get that mad.
Sure.
Really?
When they get to ignore it, that's all I want to know.
Reaching for your magnificent creations five head and seven pounds for game
inclusion isn't far off.
Although they're basic.
But fucking Freddie Krueger in one of those games.
Yeah, bitch.
There's a little tribute to Freddy.
Yep, Sam named.
Justin Peace.
Although their basic moves are pretty obvious, five head would be hand to hand.
Brawler moves like the old two three and give them the fingers where seven pounds are clearly
hit his opponents with a large variety of objects all which way exactly seven pounds.
Seven pound weights.
But after this, seven pound tom weights.
Things get more murky.
What would their catchphrases be?
What would their power modes be?
What would their super moves and finishing moves be?
Please clear this up and help to save the game developers from releasing yet more Batman skins.
So seven pounds finishing move is like?
What are you guys doing?
Whoa dude!
That's my job to make money, you fucking up.
What are you saying, baby?
Yeah, you're...
7-boot!
I mean, 7-boot kills you with boos.
I guess, what's that?
Just an utter, basically, that way.
The worm is on the other foot.
More, aren't you?
Wait, why would that doesn't make sense?
Why you think he covered a worm?
I said that the Napoleon of crime killed me. I'll just bury you in this box of night crawlers
Bampin Dean not picking a night
Forget it anyway finished it seven pounds is finishing move he kills you with a fucking jellyfish, right? Yeah, yeah
That's he throws a jellyfish. He's all flies up in it
your eyes go to Woody Harrelson.
And five head, what was it?
His catchphrase is finishing move?
Well, yeah, I don't know.
Shoot two with whatever you want.
Well his catchphrase is five heads are better than one.
Yeah.
And I feel like maybe he would sing a very sad song
about being an orphan and then you would cry or stop.
You'd die of sadness, yeah.
He carries five guns, right? Not six guns. Yeah, he carries five guns, right?
Not six guns. Yeah, five head going once. Well, no, no, he has seven guns because he's got five heads not four head. Oh, that makes more sense.
The math I mean, I'm sure the math works out. I don't know
Fucking some game designer will film up when he when he plays pool he goes. I'm really behind the nine ball right now
This I feel like this is getting even more murky.
Anyway, a favorite movie is cheaper by the 13.
I get it.
Yeah, it's everything's one more.
Sure, like Ocean's 12, right?
He also likes 103 dimensions.
This is one more than 102 dimensions.
Guys, the secret.
His amplifiers go up to 12.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
That's great.
Here's my friend with 102 Dalmatians as a sequel.
We've already seen 101 Dalmatians.
Adding one more Dalmatian is not very impressive.
You even have to do about 202 Dalmatians in the sequel
to even equal the impact of the first movie.
Have you ever considered how beautiful a coat
made out of 102 Dalmatians would look?
It would be amazing, beautiful. I would like one please.
Give me a minute, I get a kissy sound.
He's leading me on a Mary chase.
Oh boy. Okay, this...
So I hope that answered your...
You've made up nonsense, guys.
It's too well in a bill.
Like, you were tired of waiting for one of us to come up
with that, so you just threw it in there.
This, uh, that's your drag character.
Yeah.
Reincaboration.
This next is titled non-pornographic flop house fan art.
Is there such a thing? I have a new listener to show having been inspired by John Hodgman's condemnation
to discover for myself how terrible Elliot really was.
Without passing judgment on Mr. Hodgman's taste, I have to say I really enjoy what I've heard so far.
Except for Elliot who's terrible.
Maybe a little too much as I spent the last week Mainlining episodes like a reformed vegetarian with our first box of sailor chicken
After my marathons
I think I don't know what that means. It's a Popeye's reference. Oh, well. I see
Pop by the sailor I see Popeye's restaurant is named after Popeye joy. Let's just get that straight
You just completely divorced
Popeye from his Popeye's chicken is named after the effect of your eyes popping out of this Just get that street completely divorced Pop by for his
Chicken his name after the effect of your eyes popping out of this
When you take a bite you're like huh?
Sprowing like a text every wolf. Oh, I thought you're just like
I can't even see the chicken. And it's so greasy, we're chicken grease.
Can't get a quick grip on my eyeballs.
It's a little bit of back in my face.
Yeah, why do you like this chicken place?
It tastes really good.
All you gotta do is secure your eyeballs in your face
with fasteners before hand.
Okay, like close-pins or what?
I thought they were talking about some kind of chicken that sailors eat like dehydrated
or something like that.
I don't know.
It was the last along sea voyage.
Well, we haven't even gotten to the point of this.
But after, she goes after my marathon, I think I've developed a pretty good idea based
on your voices as well as hints in the podcast as to what you all look like.
As I'm too lazy to do a Google image search.
That's lazy.
Please take a look at the attached sketch and let me know how accurate my
imagined podcasters are. That's from Vanessa Lasting with Elden. I've got the sketch here.
So this is what you think you look like.
So Lister should go.
Okay, so one of us is a teddy bear
Okay, I think I'm the bear I'm guessing that I can't tell it with the glasses. I think is you Alan
I'm way too tall and then there's a there's like a rough neck kind of muscular head and angry duck and that must be Stewart
Okay, let's do it's the teddy bear and Dan is the angry duck
So and then there's a cat the cat could be Stewart. Yeah, it's true
But you know, it's a pretty accurate sketch
Also be the bowl of I'm guessing chips or some kind of caramelized
You put a fucking crèmeble relay torch to this corn
It's with a chip reduction. You say that this is a non-pore graphic drawing, but this is as close to furry flop house porn with our clothes on. I don't even want you
to mention that for fear of the floodgates you're opening. But thank you, I guess.
Nobody ever send us a picture of the house guy with his penis out. Please, let me just
say that. Don't do that. So, um, fucking Bizarre. So next up, uh, well, thank you for the
art. We appreciate it. It's titled Intimate Encounters from Martin. Oh, I saw that movie.
From Martin. I'm not afraid of being fully identified bureau who writes
Eleants recent reference to sim I obscure X-Men character extreme slash Adam X
Prompted memories of excitedly meeting Dan and Stewart outside of Eleets NYC comic-con panel a year or so ago
Oh shit, I was I forgot about that panel. Thanks for coming to guys. I was with my boyfriend and friend neither of whom are listeners and
Sorry, I got this I was a cop that is not a lab
Neither of whom are listeners and were puzzled by my happiness of this encounter and described one of you as quote
Super awkward and the other is quote. He's gay, right? Steward. I'll let you actually I don't know could be either one
I'll let you debate who is described as what?
right? Stuart. I'll let you just, I don't know, could be either one. I'll let you debate who is described as what? Anyway, I wanted to ask what if any current comic book titles
you Geeks follow and if LA will be appearing again at this year's con. I haven't been asked,
but maybe that'd be nice. Someone's got it who doing a panel has to ask me. I assume,
I always assume that I'm the one being described as super awkward, but you also could be gay.
It's true. Whereas Stuart does get shy around people he doesn't know.
He's like a wild animal.
I don't know.
He introduced himself to Ali as a laid back party dude.
But he knows.
But he knows.
He also a lot of boyfriends slash male friends
describe me as gay for fear of my sexual prowess.
Yeah.
For just a bit.
Yeah, like there's an intimidation factor.
So they describe, I don't know, okay. What was the other? What comics do we read? So they say he's gay,
right? So that she doesn't get any crazy ideas. So comic books though. Stuart and I
will both read the six gun. Yeah. Yeah. We both read profit. Yeah. Yeah.
There's some grand stuff. So awesome. Yeah. The Manhattan projects. We both enjoy.
What are there? I like Hawkeye, but you hate Matt fraction. I hate Matt The manhattan projects. Well, enjoy.
What other I like hot guy, but you hate Matt for action.
I hate Matt for action.
We'll ring the X-Men as a fun book.
I just picked up the second collection of Dial H.
Okay.
But that's not ongoing.
No, that was canceled.
And I mostly enjoy reprints of old comics.
I have been buying up pretty much every, I think every actually EC reprint that has happened
to...
The fan of graphics.
Fan of graphics have been putting out beautiful reprints of EC work.
I think I just have the Jack Davis one.
Yeah, and it's awesome.
But they're all grouped by artists and they're all in beautiful black and white and they
certainly had the best stable of comic stars
to the time.
So that's why.
Yeah, you were saying how like,
like you're shocked at how great their stable
was at the time.
Well, also like I'm shocked at just like how much
the general level of comics art has deteriorated.
I know that there's was terrible comics at the time too.
I think that there's actually a lot of really good art going on in comics right now.
Okay, I just I hear you.
But E.C. in terms of art was the top of the heat at the time.
Yeah, I mean, I grew just a group of legendary people.
Yeah.
Um, but to move on.
Is Dan's favorite part of the life?
Okay, and the Hallibary from Baps.
Yeah, Dan's like, oh, Halliley buries but is winning me over to this
i didn't say it's a little more of the series are a lot of orders
uh...
time sure we can think about the comics that we that we like it we thought about
that's enough for now
uh... so this next letter is titled
arabic pop eyes
damn keep talking
tell a lead it's from David Lass name withheld.
But not my...
Tell him the right...
Yes, that David.
As he threw in a fit yet, good on to the letter.
My stomach.
By the way, this letter is from Sam Lass name withheld.
Oh, it is not from David Lass name.
It is a prank.
Oh, okay.
Few.
But he writes...
Right part of a prank.
Tell him it is a prank in the middle of it.
Yeah, wow.
He writes better than like an anti-coffin type prank
where you never tell them it's a prank
and people are just like, what happened?
Yeah, take it to your group.
I feel like there's a lot of, I feel like there's a lot of
email to get through while still maintaining that, that prank.
But he writes, Heyploppers.
Well, you were the one who broke it.
Don't give a mad at me.
Specifically, Elliot.
As I was listening through the flop house backlog
on my flight to A-man.
A-man?
How do you say it?
A-man.
OK.
I was made a note of a fan letter from a flop fan
in Qatar who was eager to try Popeye's chicken.
As I made my way toward Jordan,
I wondered if I would be treated to the same experience.
When I finally beat the jet lag and figured out the local area enough, I sat out in search
of a Popeyes.
A search was lasted all of five seconds because there are as common as McDonald's here.
I was excited to give Elliot a translation and show off my Arabic skills to out-know-it-all,
the famed know-it-all, but it was disappointed to find that not only was the sign in English,
but all the employees spoke fluent English as well.
All I can leave you with is the assumption that the Arabic Popeyes sign red, bubbys, as
there's no equivalent to the letter P in Arabic.
Just to provoke.
And how does they say hippopotamus?
Just to provoke.
And answer my question, Dan.
Yeah, you're saying.
I like the idea that you think that the email would immediately give you a response email
Scan enhanced by 30%
Now answer my question hip-apotomous
Just to provoke more response out of his letter
I also noticed that it has been hard to me to find food here that isn't doused in either ketchup or male
Can't believe both what are your thoughts on dumping ketchup onto an an already perfect food like Popeye's chicken?
I mean, I would never eat ketchup on Popeye's chicken.
That sounds wrong.
I love ketchup.
Don't get me wrong.
But why would you do that, doesn't make sense?
I mean, Ellie gets mad at me for putting ketchup flavor
in potato chips.
Yeah, sure.
You get ketchup flavor in potato chips in England.
You know, say those things.
But I used to put ketchup when everything went as a kid, but now I've come to realize that food tastes good without it much of the time.
You don't just want to eat cats up for every meal.
No, even a hamburger where you'd put a lot of people would catch upon.
If I know it's going to be a good hamburger, I want to taste the beef.
I feel like I have a good taste of the ketchup.
You just don't like cats up for a different...
I've learned food tastes good. And let me talk about another trend. I'm not a friend of mayonnaise on hamburgers
Which if you're a friend of yeah, not a friend dresser of
But a nannies that if you go to California
You better fucking make sure they don't put mayonnaise on your hamburger. You'll have to ask
I like me on a hammer because they don't tell you they're gonna put it on
But they don't be like hey this guy probably wants avocado. Oh, I'll slip you
You know it doesn't say I have a cotton on the extensive list of ingredients
But I'll tell you what this is gonna be a surprise for your tongue. You'll never forget you'll be thanking me to the day
I love all the muscles are going to enjoy this protein. Do we're about a guy? Everyone loves this food that Elliot hates
Anyway, you know the cat is filled with great, you know healthy fats
You know, yeah, you know, the cat is filled with great, you know, healthy fats. Yeah, healthy fats, the, the recording artist.
Slash full player. They ground up healthy fats.
I'm healthy fats. I'm not really very healthy. I'm a walking contradiction.
So wait, so, so wait, avocado looks like, like, slimer given corporeal form. So wait, so so wait avocado looks like like slime or given poor, poor real for so wait last letter. Okay, I don't know why you were. Yeah.
This one, wait a minute, it might be a bit. This one is from David last name with hell.
You better not be. Ali, it's brother. Oh, God. Oh, it burns.
Howdy floppers. First of all, I all I can't I'm expressed a fucking familiar with us
I mean he's my brother. I cannot express how happy I was to hear Dan recommend the classic hockey hockey
Documentary hockey menry
During your recent our IPD episode. As I was listening, however, I heard Dan
refer to the now raised Mel and Arena in Pittsburgh
where the film takes place as a hockey stadium,
at which point, an all-too-predictable light bulb
went off in my head where I thought,
it's an arena, Dan, it's an arena.
It was at this point that Elliot chimed in with,
I think they're called arenas, a sigh of relief.
Oh, good. I finally live up to my brother's standards.
I was reminded of a moment a few years ago when John Stewart referred to Hillary Clinton
as Wolverine because she was a woman of steel as I watched I thought. But Wolverine skeleton
was spotted with adamantium, only to see Elliot appear on screen and offer the same correction
seconds later. Based on a true story. My conclusion, we are the dorkiest brothers in history. Either way, after hearing Elliot's on-air sports
related correction, I was finally reassured that all of my years of working
in teaching had not been for naught. My work on this earth is done. Goodbye.
It's close up to heaven. David Kaelin died on the way to his home planet.
Oh no! He was from another planet, I guess. Of my eldest brother, I could not have been more proud.
Only brother, also yours, endorse them, David.
Oh, that's very sweet, David, thank you.
I love you too.
Very nice.
That's a very sweet letter to end on, thanks, Dan.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe the healing can begin.
I don't think so.
Dave, you know what, as a result, I will let you
induct my son into being a Metz fan
and never being happy ever in his life.
So this is the point in the podcast though, where we recommend movies that we've seen, usually
recently.
We've just heard about.
Anyway, so I heard there's this movie where girl takes her boobs out.
It's called Guardians of the Galaxy.
No way man, no way.
No, no seriously, they can't do that in a movie.
No, we recommend movies that we like instead of say, Baps.
Pardon me?
Baps.
Well, I sneeze on podcast.
Thank you.
So Stuart, you have your phone out as if you've made notes.
What movie do you want to watch?
I'm blank handy crush. if you've made notes. What movie do you want to watch? I'm playing Candy Crush.
I've not made notes.
Also, I want to point out that I-
He was frantically looking up that boobs movie I mentioned.
As it called boobs, the movie.
Yeah, I was looking at keywords, boobs, and sure-
You love the body part.
Now watch the movie.
I know you're saying Stuart.
I just want to point out that I earlier recommended twin-setters.
You should watch that if you haven't. It is that is a good bad movie.
It's a very fun movie. It stars two twin brother barbarians.
You check it out. I mean, they're called the barbarians.
Call them our very brothers. I think they're careers that they're barbarians.
They're not really barbarians. Yeah, they're named after their career. So like, you know, like archer, Cooper, or you know, these are all names that are...
Yeah, waiter. Repairman.
I know. John Repairman.
John Repairman? Yeah, you know, like a, you know, a Guillermo del Toro or Christopher Nolan.
So I'm gonna recommend a movie
that you've all probably already seen,
but you go see the maps.
It's called, it's the Lego movie.
I saw it recently.
It was great.
I think I haven't seen that in.
A bunch of people recommended on the Flap House Facebook group
and just in general.
I'll go.
It was really good. If you haven't seen it, you should
go see it. It's a movie for children that doesn't rely on a lot of fart jokes or just stupid
cutaways. It's genuinely moving and there's some great voice talent without being overly
distracting.
Do you or you saying I should Lego my opposition to movies based on products?
Now you're making a reference to the AGO ad campaign, which the AGO movie is terrible.
It's just watching Steve Carell put his head on a pile of pancakes.
It's just like a live in a Lego movie. No, it's dead. It's turned into a life in a Nego movie.
No, he's saying.
No, that jerk made me so happy.
He's saying, run, don't duplo to the Lego movie.
No, that makes sense.
OK.
So I guess the Lego movie, you probably
are seen by Washington.
Quickly, I want to recommend two, can I'm two movies?
Number one.
I'll count them when you say it. He documentary called beauty is embarrassing. It's on Netflix streaming
It's about the artist Wayne White who
Was the set designer for Peewee's playhouse and then went on
He now
Gary Pantor was involved in that, but like, um, the Wayne White was the main Wayne White.
I mean, well, maybe I don't know how to break down close to.
Look, I'm not, I'm not going to dispute the documentary.
I don't know how to break down.
I know that Gary Pantor also was part of that.
I don't know what the breakdown is.
Like, Wayne White, I know did a bunch of the puppets for, so maybe that's what, maybe
that's what I'm thinking of.
But, and he was like the voice of who was the bully character
who always came down from the scene.
Oh, that mean kid, yeah, the Marianette.
But he also like, late in his career,
I mean, like, he did things like also like,
he did the George Malier kind of influence
smashing up Pumpkull tonight to my video.
But then late in his career,
he started doing these paintings
that were just word paintings where he would paint on,
what do you call it, landscapes that he would find
in thrift stores and they're sort of like funny, crazy
words painted over these landscapes
but like I'm integrated into the landscape.
That's funny.
They've belched.
Yeah, but I mean, but he's a very interesting character himself.
He's kind of one of these guys that I think it like this this group that you don't necessarily
see in pop culture that much.
The Beatles.
But he's like a type of character that you don't see in fictional
lot, but exists in real life, which is kind of like this southern hippie and hippie
has like maybe a negative connotation to it that I don't intend, but like
fog or leg or not. Not like you're you're aggressive,
hick, but like a laid back like kind of a live, live type southern guy. But but also
not not so much that, but like a counterculture southern guy, like a laid back, like, kind of, even like, live type Southern guy. But also, not so much that,
but like a counterculture Southern guy.
Not a hippie.
Like a Southern guy who's like,
had like, kind of like, has like, crazy ideas
in like this, like crazy, like, counterculture creativity.
Like Jefferson Davis.
But still like, like, Tennessee Williams.
But still has sort of like this, like, grounding that you associate with someone like who came from like a very rural area
And it's just an interesting sort of combination of traits that
Existing real life, but again, you don't see infection. So it's kind of he's a very interesting character
I recommend the documentary realize it inspiring documentary. What's it called beautiful?
Beauty's embarrassing beauty's and barista
What's it called, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful bears? Beauty's embarrassing.
Beauty's and bear is still.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a BBC drama about a family law practice
in the 18th century.
But I also watched the Seahawk Michael Kirk
Couties is a swashbuckler with Errol Flynn
and you got Claude Reigns as a very interesting, I think,
bad guy in that movie because he's kind of a...
Because he's a very conflicted bad guy.
He's an ambassador who doesn't necessarily want
war to break out and has a lot of like,
familiar, familial feeling for his niece
who falls in love with Errol Flynn.
And so I feel like, I don't know, like,
I like that in a lot of these old movies, you'd have
characters like these Claude Rain villains who had very sympathetic sides to them, even
though they were in opposition to your swashbuckling hero.
And he's not just trying to find a magic amulet or something.
Yeah.
It was before they've thought that anything involving fencing also had to have magic or ghosts
in it.
Yeah.
Or a curse or a prophecy
The pirates of the Caribbean series I guess
Yeah, basically
Pirates
Those are two movies I enjoyed quite a lot. I'll recommend a movie. I enjoyed a lot too. Why not? That seems to be the theme tonight
I'm gonna remake this yourself from this. I'm to recommend an action movie from the 60s called.
It's called Action Jackson.
It's called Action.
It's not a movie so much as a TV show at J.M.R.
It's a movie called The Professionals.
This is not the sequel to The Professionals.
It's a very good movie.
In fact, it predates it by nearly 30 years.
But the Professionals with Bert Langcaster.
It does start an alley portman, do you know? No. But an alley portman,caster does start an alley portman. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ladies in it, who, well, okay, what's this movie called?
It's called The Professionals.
It's one of these, one of many Western set
during the Mexican revolutions the early 20th century.
And Ralph Bellamy is a rich man who says his wife
has been kidnapped by this Mexican reviliter.
He hires a group of adventurers basically,
two of whom Bert Lancaster and Leevin used to work with this rebel leader
when they still believed in something
and so they have to go into mexico and kill roughly three hundred guys
and steal this woman back that's also not everything is as it seems well that's
what i was going to say about that also is a movie that has a more complex
morality i would say then most modern action movies,
even though most modern action movies
seem to think that they're all gritty
and have interesting moralities.
It's a movie in which the characters really have to make...
Like an illusion of postmodernism.
Kind of, but it's a movie where the characters
really have to make moral choices
about what's going on and what they're going to do
and Lee Marvin especially feels like he's at a crossroads.
It's directed by Richard Brooks,
who's one of these directors that was never like
one of the legendary directors, but was a very solid.
New had to make a movie.
There's a lot of great shots in it
of the desert that they're in.
And a Busty Ladies at home.
There's some great shots of Busty Ladies.
And there's a great shot of busty point
Busty point
Like a junior version of
Busty point
I'll just strip to hot hot hot. Call me busty point extra. Whatever it doesn't matter
Look we got up with this burlest show together in 17 minutes or maybe show me the death with a cat
Okay, or you can be like a you can be a nerd you can
From
Can be a nerd side to move a nerd stripper and call yourself busty point extra
That's a little less lazy. Yeah, that we're still gonna end up dancing the hot
Sure
Maybe playing an electric violin at some point unless you get a strip tool fucking weezer songs
The nerdyest music there is but anyway
But it's a lot of time done the sweater a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun.

It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun. It's a loteleska. It's the Berlin Alexander Plads of Releska in city of 20 hours.
She's it's still just up to her mid-rits.
I haven't seen anything I couldn't see if I just saw her, you know, on the beach.
That's what makes it hotter.
It's like old Hollywood.
Yeah, because although it was all about sweaters slowly and rapidly.
By the end you're totally straining at your denim, you know?
To get out of your shoes.
To get out, yeah, because there's a denim seat belt
strapping you in and you want to get away.
But the professionals.
Look it up.
It's a lot of fun.
It's good, solid action-adventurism,
as they don't really make them much anymore.
