Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:50 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.
Starting point is 00:01:02 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
Starting point is 00:01:27 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
Starting point is 00:01:59 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.
Starting point is 00:02:14 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.
Starting point is 00:02:35 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.
Starting point is 00:03:02 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.
Starting point is 00:03:27 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.
Starting point is 00:03:50 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.
Starting point is 00:04:11 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
Starting point is 00:04:31 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
Starting point is 00:04:44 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.
Starting point is 00:05:02 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
Starting point is 00:06:01 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,
Starting point is 00:06:24 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.
Starting point is 00:06:36 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
Starting point is 00:06:54 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
Starting point is 00:07:17 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.
Starting point is 00:07:37 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.
Starting point is 00:07:51 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
Starting point is 00:08:17 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.
Starting point is 00:08:38 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
Starting point is 00:08:57 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.
Starting point is 00:09:20 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.
Starting point is 00:09:34 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.
Starting point is 00:09:47 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
Starting point is 00:09:57 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.
Starting point is 00:10:18 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
Starting point is 00:10:50 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.
Starting point is 00:11:15 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,
Starting point is 00:11:30 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.
Starting point is 00:11:42 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.
Starting point is 00:12:11 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,
Starting point is 00:12:32 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,
Starting point is 00:13:03 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...
Starting point is 00:13:18 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.
Starting point is 00:13:28 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.
Starting point is 00:13:44 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,
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:18 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.
Starting point is 00:14:34 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.
Starting point is 00:14:54 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.
Starting point is 00:15:15 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.
Starting point is 00:15:40 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
Starting point is 00:15:58 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,
Starting point is 00:16:16 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
Starting point is 00:16:56 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
Starting point is 00:17:25 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.
Starting point is 00:17:49 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.
Starting point is 00:17:57 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
Starting point is 00:18:05 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.
Starting point is 00:18:34 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.
Starting point is 00:18:59 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.
Starting point is 00:19:21 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.
Starting point is 00:20:07 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
Starting point is 00:20:33 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.
Starting point is 00:20:54 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.
Starting point is 00:21:20 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
Starting point is 00:22:05 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.
Starting point is 00:22:36 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.
Starting point is 00:23:01 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
Starting point is 00:23:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:57 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.
Starting point is 00:24:12 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.
Starting point is 00:24:31 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
Starting point is 00:24:46 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.
Starting point is 00:25:15 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
Starting point is 00:25:35 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
Starting point is 00:25:49 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...
Starting point is 00:26:16 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.
Starting point is 00:26:33 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,
Starting point is 00:27:06 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.
Starting point is 00:27:23 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.
Starting point is 00:27:41 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
Starting point is 00:28:01 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.
Starting point is 00:28:21 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.
Starting point is 00:28:39 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
Starting point is 00:29:20 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.
Starting point is 00:29:50 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.
Starting point is 00:30:10 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
Starting point is 00:30:24 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
Starting point is 00:31:01 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.
Starting point is 00:31:21 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,
Starting point is 00:31:41 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.
Starting point is 00:32:01 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.
Starting point is 00:32:13 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.
Starting point is 00:32:46 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
Starting point is 00:33:16 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.
Starting point is 00:33:38 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.
Starting point is 00:33:57 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,
Starting point is 00:34:17 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.
Starting point is 00:34:36 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.
Starting point is 00:34:57 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
Starting point is 00:35:32 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,
Starting point is 00:35:55 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
Starting point is 00:36:19 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.
Starting point is 00:36:34 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.
Starting point is 00:36:55 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
Starting point is 00:37:16 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.
Starting point is 00:37:55 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
Starting point is 00:38:08 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
Starting point is 00:38:41 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.
Starting point is 00:38:58 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.
Starting point is 00:39:14 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,
Starting point is 00:39:31 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.
Starting point is 00:39:43 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.
Starting point is 00:39:58 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
Starting point is 00:40:10 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?
Starting point is 00:40:47 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.
Starting point is 00:41:07 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?
Starting point is 00:41:33 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?
Starting point is 00:41:51 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?
Starting point is 00:42:01 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?
Starting point is 00:42:31 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?
Starting point is 00:42:45 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?
Starting point is 00:43:17 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.
Starting point is 00:43:33 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.
Starting point is 00:43:58 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.
Starting point is 00:44:17 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
Starting point is 00:44:50 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.
Starting point is 00:45:29 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
Starting point is 00:45:49 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.
Starting point is 00:46:10 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
Starting point is 00:46:43 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
Starting point is 00:47:36 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
Starting point is 00:48:22 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.
Starting point is 00:48:49 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.
Starting point is 00:49:04 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.
Starting point is 00:49:32 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.
Starting point is 00:49:53 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,
Starting point is 00:50:09 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.
Starting point is 00:50:30 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...
Starting point is 00:50:51 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...
Starting point is 00:51:08 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.
Starting point is 00:51:22 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.
Starting point is 00:51:33 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.
Starting point is 00:51:49 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.
Starting point is 00:52:03 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.
Starting point is 00:52:33 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
Starting point is 00:52:51 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?
Starting point is 00:53:13 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.
Starting point is 00:53:36 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
Starting point is 00:54:01 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.
Starting point is 00:54:46 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
Starting point is 00:55:29 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
Starting point is 00:55:51 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.
Starting point is 00:56:29 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
Starting point is 00:56:42 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.
Starting point is 00:57:06 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?
Starting point is 00:57:24 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.
Starting point is 00:57:38 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.
Starting point is 00:58:15 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.
Starting point is 00:58:37 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.
Starting point is 00:59:02 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.
Starting point is 00:59:34 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
Starting point is 01:00:00 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
Starting point is 01:00:24 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.
Starting point is 01:00:47 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.
Starting point is 01:01:08 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
Starting point is 01:01:35 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.
Starting point is 01:01:58 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.
Starting point is 01:02:23 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...
Starting point is 01:02:45 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
Starting point is 01:03:10 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
Starting point is 01:03:28 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.
Starting point is 01:03:56 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.
Starting point is 01:04:34 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
Starting point is 01:05:01 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
Starting point is 01:05:20 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.
Starting point is 01:05:39 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.

That's what makes it hotter. It's like old Hollywood.

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.
