I'll just say you watch a podcast and then we talk about a movie We're taping this episode the day before my birthday. Oh than we talk about a movie. We're taping this episode the day before my birthday.

Yeah, the joke that launched a thousand short stories sent to us. So, um, yeah, this is well done. If it counts, I mean, I haven't had a lot of time to get out of the house, but I've been making something for you out of the materials at hand So I hope you enjoy the world's largest collection of baby poop

Well, I mean anything that gets me in the Guinness book. He's a good eater your son, huh? Yes, he's he's an even better pooper or is he wouldn't like one of those house Please have more than he's eating. Yeah is a bet. Well, right now the theory is that- It's conservation of matter. Somewhere in his intestine is a portal to the septum. The elemental plane of turds, yeah. Because a lot of like pieces of metal, the kind of stuff you saw in the in the Dianoga trash compactor scene in Star Wars is a lot of that in his day.

All the things you need to go to. He's some sort of iron man uh... well certainly his guts uh... but anyway as you said this is a podcast we watch a bad movie in the talk about it tonight we watched a movie called last

vagus the sequel to loss vagus no penultimate vagus uh... this is this is the uh... not a sequel but it's kind of a rip off of the hangover movies and say a lot. I mean in that it's about a bachelor party that occurs in. Yeah, you take a little bit of the sandlot or stand by me just a little bit. Age it a lot. Throw a dash a hangover in there and a

little bit of like what bucket list. Yeah, and you've got last Vegas. It's your basic grumpy old Vegas. That's a good one, that's a better title. This is the second movie in the past four movies that features Robert De Niro in a comedic role. Yeah, yeah. So it's got that going for it. It does not have that going for it. That is not, although I will say this

and let's just get this right off the bat. Let's compliment this movie. Okay. Say a nice thing. The four stars of this movie, Michael Douglas Morgan Freeman, Robert Nierro and Kevin Klein, a Hollywood royalty. Hollywood royalty, that Michael Douglas is the Duke of Belair. Morgan Freeman is the is the vi count of Beverly Hills, let's say Kevin Klein is a first king of Kong and and I mentioned Robert De Niro is is one of the As himself so they aside from Michael Douglas who I can take or leave at this point I would more likely take or leave Robert De Niro I think

Robert De Niro taking both man they're route that I say Kevin Klein and Morgan Freeman really charisma up the joint yeah they they are the high point I will say that this is a funnier role for Robert and arrow than grudge match was if only because he's not the energetic guy he is the lconic guy which is what he does normally anyway he's not particularly good in it but there are a few moments where it's like oh Robert you know just doing that Robert and arrow face he does normally anyway he's not particularly good in it but there are a few moments where it's like oh Robert you know just doing that Robert and Ero face he does where he's like no more works me revered near me this was just Kevin Klein Morgan Freeman better movie

yeah no they are they are pretty delightful and I got to say for a movie that's not that over a movie that has has almost no writing and as Stuart I think said barely is a movie. But it's more a series of vacation slides of Las Vegas. It's a rough assemblage of scenes organized around the theme of old people in Las Vegas. It does kind of feel like Dennis Hopper's last movie type thing where they sent a director to Las Vegas with these guys. Las Vegas with these guys. They shot like 400 hours of footage and then disappeared. And the studio had to reclaim what was left and just cut a movie out of it.

And there's just scenes that don't go anywhere. Scenes that go on for too long. Scenes that seem to stop in the midst of a joke. And any time a character laughs, that's something another character said. They're like, great. And the scene. Let's get out of here. Yeah, get out on a laugh. I don't think that means when the character's laughing, and this is the odd in it.

Get out on a laugh, I said. All right. But should we talk about the plot? Yeah, one of them. I mean, if you can. There's so, we're introduced to these, it's 1950-100, let's say, in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Amber, come on. And honestly, is there any reason

for this movie to start out in the past? Like having seen the whole movie now. We have to realize that they were kids once, okay? It shows that these guys are making kids. And they didn't spring forth from some wrinkled wound, okay? Wrinkled themselves like horrible raisin man. I'm like, how's the way they're in? Aside from that.

No, those are great raisin then, dude. That has a fucking respect. That you're saying that old people are born from old women Is what you know in this case they could be we don't know But like a woman gave birth to a baby it would come out old like a Benjamin button. Yeah Like all this genetic tree saying they did not spring on timely from their mother's womb They was like over time late no like if there's a movie about to Ripped untimely from his mother's room means that it was like overtime late like if there's a movie about the money ripped on time we from his mother's remains that it was a

section not that she was old and he was old just like how in dead live the two uh... zombies have a zombie baby if two mummies had a baby it would be like i don't know work and freeman i guess yeah okay there you go mummy baby more than freeman

uh... well here's the thing it's nineteen, whatever. We're introduced to four friends, the flat bush four, they call themselves. And their personalities are already right there. Robert Nino's character is Salon and Punches people. Having clients' character is a bit of a nerd.

Michael Douglas's character is the fast talk and slickster, and Morgan Freeman is black. And those are their character dynamic personalities. Sure. A guy in a leather jacket threatens them or something, talking Slickster and Morgan Freeman is black. And those are their character dynamic personalities. Sure. A guy in a leather jacket threatens them or something and they steal a bottle of scotch and punch them and run away.

So these are hooligans. It's one of those things they're like, it's a legend. If you set a scene now in a movie and kids like stole a bottle of liquor and punched a guy, they'll be like, oh, these are bad kids. And the 50 is anything goes. Last forward, 58 years, just like the Brad's movie.

Yeah, because there's this 58 years later, it's their sophomore year of high school. Things are not going well. They've been held back 50 times. But anyway, that's besides the point, Brad's and so forth. That you're getting a look out. Let's see what we'll show you.

58 years later, they all have their problems. Kevin Klein is living in Florida to an aquarobics He feels old, but he looks great, but he's in great shape. He does not need to do aquarobics Yeah, it's married to his wife Joanna Gleason who you may remember as you baker's wife from Into the woods the Yeah, if you watch it on PBS or something. Yeah, he's got the great performances She was also in west wing they were good performances okay so uh...

she was in west wing as the bakers wife returning to the end of the day i'm just pointing out you got your kevin cline you got your joanne glee since movie roger bark shows up later yeah a lot of your broadway stars a lot of broadway stars uh... by which mean three but uh... so he's in florida hating his life morgan freeman lives with his sons family hates his life takes a lot lives with his son's family, hates his life, takes a lot of pills.

It's medicine pills though. Robert and Ero is basically, it's not like he's taking mouth balls. Yeah, he's taking mouth balls. He's not a hothead. It's not like he's taking his, he's like he's up and downers and red pennies and you know, things like that.

The, it's not Morgan Freeman is not like not like yeah buying pills off some guy in the back of a movie theater or something I Gotta keep the energy up so I can play with my grandkids. What do you got? What do you got you got to make me well, man? I gotta get well Anyway, play with his grandkids takes on a different meaning when it's Morgan Freeman boom a swish Nothing but gross. Anyway, moving on, Robert Nero is a widowed shut-in, and Michael Douglas is about to marry a woman one-quarter his age, 31 years old.

I don't think that's one-quarter his age. He is at least a hundred years old. He's supposed to be 70. Come on. I mean, he looks horrifying, right? There's a part where he falls in a pool, and when he gets out, he looks like Solomon Grunt. Like, you just crawled out of a swamp.

He's a half decayed corpse. No offense to Michael Douglas. I really like doing the live-roaching movie. But you look like the crypt keeper, but with a tan. Part of it's the costuming, right? Yeah, he's wearing like a tuxedo and heavy makeup I mean the costume in that like his Michael Douglas's face is an old guys with perfect bleach teeth Yeah, it's like Tom Savini style

Yeah, all Tom Savini zombies had beautiful head is his head is filled with blood filled condoms his head is his head is filled with blood filled condoms so it's unexploded. Shoot it. It's a tons of any effect. Sort of, Michael Dulles is, is realizes he, he's, proposes to his girlfriend while he's giving a eulogy at the funeral of a friend of his. And this is not a good eulogy. Ladies, not, let's say non-traditional.

He's playing it for laughs. He starts telling the guy in the casket at what a loser he loser he was basically. I'm not going to give up like you. It's a comedy central roast of the guy in the casket. And he, uh, and he, Michael Douglas would be a good get for that. Yeah. Huge get. Oh yeah. If he survived the ceremony. And then he, and on the spru the moment I like the idea that there are all these like roast funerals and just Lisa lamp and Ellie shows up her all over. Yeah, so this dead guys, you're a two baddies not black or Lisa lamin, I'm not climbing the casket. There are all these people in the audience.

She doesn't even know the corpse. That's not fair. I'll write a wrote that material. They don't know each other. That corpse had a real career. What is Tosh know about that corpse had a real career what is torsional about that course anyway any who so at the in the middle of the elegy provokes to go to his girlfriend he tells his

friends except for roberton euro because they had a falling out a year earlier it seems or shadow it seems roberton euro and michael doggles were both interested in the same girl when they were kids roberton euro married her and then she died a year ago and michael doggles did not attend the funeral. I guess because he didn't have any roast jokes written for the occasion.

Yeah. Like I just can't show up. The expect strong material for me, and I just don't have it right now. So they decide they're gonna go on a bachelor weekend to where else but the sin of cities, the king of places where you go for bachelor's. Well, that was the first time where I actually, I was kind of cities, the king of places where you go for bachelors. Well, that was the first time where I actually,

I was kind of surprised by the movie because I thought what Michael Douglas was calling all his buddies and showing off how great he is at using his phone by doing four-way calling or whatever. I thought he was going to- That's what gets this movie into the science fiction label. Yeah. Because this is an old man who knows all the functions on his phone. So I expected him to be the like Instigator for the so come on you guys you gotta come out. I'm getting married finally. It's Kevin Klein the the Floridian

Santa Claus character who just as a beard So to Santa Claus he's not so much Santa Claus as art carney from Harry and Tonto It's just an old guy who loves his wife, but he's a little tired of being in Florida and being married. He doesn't want to be old. He doesn't want to feel old. And they all feel this way. He wants to have a last thing.

He feels put out the pasture. They all feel. He wants to come back away from the pasture. There are a bunch of space cowboys who feel like they've got something else to offer. Yeah, yeah, they're on a boat trip. Wait, there's not an old person Yeah, absolute power This is the place would move me. Well, it's pretty old. They're getting their blood work done so that they can drive a grandter

You know It's a million dollar baby. Mm-hmm. We got a real grudge match. There you go. Okay, that's an old person thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, yeah. It's a real best exotic marigold hotel. So there's some hilarious laugh-em-ups as they all find their way to Las Vegas.

They all escape, and Kevin Klein's wife, before he goes, gives him a card that says, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and taped to it is a one-vagra pill and one condo. She gives him a hall pass, if you will. Trademark, trademark me. No, you didn't know it. Oh, it's a movie. There's a movie called The Hall Pass. Check it.

That's patent-trolling, right? Trademark. It is exactly patent-trolling. It's exactly what it is. Newser or a Pox on site. You're hurting innovation. You're hurting small business. Whatever. They got to pay me for that. No. Now, you're going to live under your pet

and bridge and eat pet and billy goats in your pet control. And so me these pet and questions three across my bridge, he shall not be. Anyway, I like this way. I like this pet control character. So just he just like comb through the libraries the patent office all the time Scoring through the dark hallways to see what hasn't been patented. Yeah, I got I got your horns pendant gruff I patented the concept of eating a tin can goats Yeah, wow goat callback awesome. Yeah anyway, so they They go to los vegas kevin kline wants to get laid morgan freeman wants to feel young again

robert deniro doesn't want to be there and my god uglis is just kind of wandering around you know he's just a bit of the time buddies you know and there's at first a problem because they booked uh... room at what was it bignons yeah but there are but bignons is closed for innovation in a really unnecessary side tangent that we didn't need to experience except that it brings them into contact with a startlingly singing siren, a sultry starlet, a sensational sex symphony. A snappy, steen virgin, they will.

A steen virgin, comma, Mary, known as Mary's steen virgin, who is singing her sultry seduction sonatas in the secluded space of the solitary, what's an S word for, there's nobody there? I don't know Sempty Sempty of audience's members room at the minion Cosino they hang out with her for roughly 17 days to find solace to find solace in these Serpentarians Septogenarians, yep, they'll hit it off with her immediately and they basically just get her to leave work in the middle of her There's no audience. There's no audience. There's no other people in that audience. I have to assume her backstory is that like she owns the place and she sings there as

a hobby or maybe like she didn't explain that when she was expeling her personal history. That's true. Well, she, he, Michael Douglas cut her off in the scene where we stopped paying attention. We were paying attention to the people in the background and the signs and such. There was so much interesting that it was happening in the foreground. So they go to minions on the old strip, right? They're on the old strip right because on the old strip you know so yeah like that's that's why it's also you guys know lost Vegas I've never been there I've no real interest but you guys have been there oh yeah we're we're for could pros your old vague hands I mean if if you're much of Vegas if two time we are yeah yeah jump my mask off with your one Wolverine my best of my beautiful face

No, I mean you know the sultry spanned your vagu basically all we're saying is like there's an old there's an old lots Vegas And then like there's the new strip last Vegas if you and like so steam Virgin is singing at this like the old like CD or casinos That's why no one's there and then most of the thing takes place in the news trip. And because it's convenient for plot purposes that she can just leave work whenever she works. Yeah. Yeah. So they go to, which hotel was it? Oh, Aureus.

Yeah. Aureus. I'm guessing sponsor of the movie. Because there are a lot of scenes set there showing how amazing it is. And how easy it is to win a $5 buffet coupon at their prize wheel. Is that a Las Vegas thing?

I mean, that totally seems like something. You just pay a dollar in the lobby for a wheel of fortune prize type thing. It's like opening entranceway portal to gambling. Like, it's just a dollar, and I can win $5 off the buffet. And next thing you know, you're sitting down at a blackjack table winning $100,000. It's the poor pool of gambling.

Yeah, the dark side of gambling. The dark side of gambling. The dark side of gambling is, you might end up with too much money. That doesn't fit in my pockets. Yeah. That's one of the first things that I've had. So this is the first point where the characters split up and just kind of wander off like old men and have their own mini, mini adventures.

Before we go back to the main party and going back on the main quest. We have a great little side quest with Roger Bart. Yeah, let's Kevin Klein see his woman from behind. Thanks, it's a woman. Goes and hits on her. Turns out to be Roger Bart as a Madonna impersonator. And then they have a surprisingly long conversation that goes on for a while and they become past friends. Well, this is one of the like that five friends

This is a weird scene in that movie. I'm also cut patrolling I copy right at that. This is the idea of speeding numbers. That's mine This is a weird scene in the movie because it does the normal thing which is to like you think it's setting this Transvestite up as the butt of the joke Like he's gonna see it's a transvestite and go like as the butt of the joke uh... that's like he's gonna see it's a transvestite like uh... but then like it ends up being like

kevin clandin has a lengthy friendly conversation with him and his other super understanding of trans lives it's co-workers i mean they seem to be professional transvestites well yeah there they've got a drag show but the it's it's just weird because it's not about a drag show. But it's just weird because it's not like- Talk about a drag show. I saw it was depressing. They reenact the lowest moment in every one of these female celebrities' lives. The Whitney Houston scene is impossible to sit through.

I had to get up and leave. I thought when it was over, I finally walked in. That's when the Patty Hurst scene started. Oh, boy, was it rough. Doesn't sound like a very popular drag character. Baddie Hertz? No. But I should- It was like a roller-jurvy character, Patty Burses.

Sure. I just found it interesting, because it's like- No, no, Patty Hertz. It would be the roller-jurvy. That's very bad, I was gonna say. Patty Hertz, yeah. How do I feel about this scene? They're still setting up the usual joke of a guy,

mistaking a guy in a dress for a lady. But at the same time. Now they're kind of understanding, I don't know. It's so hard to be manic, Kevin Claw. It's just, it's the one progressive moment in a movie which is otherwise old men leering at boobs for like an hour and 40 minutes. It like, the one thing they don't have in the movie

is rendez-danger-filled, like bugging his eyes out at a girl shaking her chest in his face. But they kind of do have that. Yeah, there's that great sequence where they Where they are at an LMFAO theme themed LMFAO hosted bikini Everyone wears retarded clothes and things that I apologize for saying that word. Yeah LMFAO. Yeah, it's terrible anyway, so close So yeah, they said you terrible somehow they buy their way into a into a bikini judging contest freeman wins a hundred thousand dollars of blackjack because he cashed out his panning not a makes turtle leave the table or something turtle from entourage who's lost a lot of weight gets up and he would look in great and they

make him and how do they make him leave? They just threaten him. I don't remember. I know. I'm not a beer on him. I'm going to show a dog and tells him to leave or something. No, no, no, we're in free. No, I'm not a beer on his lap. He just frustrated. He got a call about the large one. He's a beer on his lap. Okay. Well, so well, Michael, well, people are taking turns hanging out in Maristine Virgin. He wins this money and they go to this LMFAO hosted bikini contest where they get, I guess they buy positions as judges,

and this scene is literally just, like six straight minutes, it feels like, I'm just looking at women in bikini. Yeah, girls bouncing around bikinis. You miss the subtext, Elliot. LMFAO is gonna lose their casino, so they need bikini girls to raise money to save it. I don't know, I didn't realize that.

Because gambling doesn't make enough money for them. Or else party rockers, their casino would be closed down and turned into condos for evil developers. Ooh. The original box worth. Yeah, the smooth jazz casino. My good man. The smooth, yeah.

Because Kenny G is gonna knock it down and build a smooth jazz and pour him. your rock and roll is no place in Las Vegas That's what he says We're all about keyboard music and vibraphones. So anyway There's that so there's this great from LF or you can tell about I was gonna say there's this great Bikini contest where they just keep giving them all tens which totally devalues that rating yeah if you get everybody attends and everybody's a winner everybody's a little

rolling stone freestyle review of bikini contest exactly you're like making the incredible argument like what is it the participation award come on but then an old lady comes out and swim suit and they give her an eleven which I assume he wins whatever the prizes Yeah, and then the got lead from LMFAO takes his pants off and waves his crotch and Robert De Niro's face Mm-hmm So think the scene is gonna end with Robert De Niro ripping that man's throat out with his teeth instead he gives him a zero and

Everyone's like yeah, I assume this already exists on the internet We put so much work into it, but if you want to make a gift of the guy from LMFAO, rubbing his crotch in the mirror space. Not rubbing, shaking. There's no physical problem. Waggling his crotch. Waggling is a perfect word for it. In a hero's like, you can waggle just don't touch it.

In a bejeweled bikini brief. It's in his contract. If you rub his mirror, saw that on his script. And it said rubs, and he crossed that route, waggles. Can we get it to my contract no more than, no less than two And it said and it said rubs and he crossed that road waggles Can we get it's my contract no more than no less than two and a half inches from my face Don't you think it'll be funnier less than he doesn't touch me. Yeah, that's my Geneva impression. It's terrible Yeah, no, that was very bad Not like I can do a particularly good to know about this. I love I, I know. It's me, Robert, and you're doing the dude.

Are you fucking patrolling in the office? I'm with the mirror. I was in the catfoss apart. I get the pain on it. I love it. Yeah. So England better pay you. So they moving forward, which is not what the movie does.

The characters wander around Las Vegas for a long time. They do young people stuff with the movie does the characters won around Las Vegas for a long time they do they do young people stuff at some point they get that to read that Doritos Locust the repul taco commercial whatever it was it's a whole movie of a rap and granny yeah it's yeah if this would be there if it's rap and granny the movie because I'll tell you what that is charting the rise and fall of this rap and granny as she reaches for the stars but flies too close to the sun and her old person wings of wax melt dropping her to the gutter and rock bottom.

So he's going to be the deviless figure in this. Tonight on VH1 behind the music, rap and granny. Oh, I guess her agent is that, no, no. No, yeah, her agent is the daudaless figure. The daudaless? Yeah, because he always daudaless. And she's, of course, the Icarus in that she is the sun She's the daughter of a man who built the Labyrinth and then they were trapped in it. Okay, the dead its figure

The dirty habits we're not allowed to talk about done it. It's not doing a dream catcher episode so That let's just skip to whatever the closest At some point they get they end up because Morgan Freeman did so well the uh... at the casino with this gambling thing they are uh... given a i guess i'm kind of a life ward by the name of play by romani malco yeah they're called

i don't think they're giving in a given an old man apprentice yeah exactly he has this movie was directed by the director of source or apprentice. I think that's appropriate. Exactly. There are turtle. They're given the massive suite that's usually reserved for 50 cent. And he shows up later in a hilarious cameo where he wants to join in the old man fun, but is turned away at the door because he's not an ARP member. Yeah. I wish that was it though. It was a great ad for this, I guess, penthouse you can rent at this hotel.

Yeah. And they live at this penthouse and hang out with girls. And yeah, they take turns hanging out with Mary steam virgin. It turns out, Rob Giner was a crush on her. Michael Douglas has a crush on her. She starts to feel affection for Michael Douglas. They throw a huge party for Michael Douglas

that they invite every character we've seen in the movie too. Including like the cast of Cirque du Soleil. Yeah. Roger Bart and his other drag friends. His drag pals, dragins, they're called. Yeah, oh, there's a, there's a women from the Bachelorette party that they met down at the club. Turtle is there having become their slave. And he is told that they are east coast mob losses

who can have him get a ronnie moco for some reason has decided to make them apology turtle apologize to them for getting in fisticuffs by pretending that they're all mob people and though and thus turtle is in fear of his life for the rest of the movie and does whatever they want him to because he doesn't want to that i think it's because somebody told him he'd get to act with robert nero no i can understand why he took the role and i think that's what the actor is doing that thing so they throw this big party where all their dreams come true morgan freeman sees his son who tracks the just like drake on alfoyle loves uh... doby or doby or whatever the fuck you call that a little guy

a doby the car that's made out of clay with a dobo yeah dobo a bobo from a final fight right now that's uh... that's double dragon that was a big guy that's right i got my side scrollers mixed up anyway is there anything we can talk less about this movie they get a big party.

Morgan Freeman's son catches up with him and he says, hey, just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't want to dance. So let's hang out. Drink. Do we have a synchronized dance at that point? Yes, there certainly is. Kevin Klein, and Morgan Freeman takes us time dancing with every one of the drag queens

or cross dressing performers. I don't know what the professional name is. Sure. The Kevin Klein manages to snag a bride's maid from the group of people, who earlier told him that he reminds her of her grandpa. Yeah. But now she is totally into him and wants to have sex

with his grandpa figure. But after she takes off her clothes, he realizes, you know what? If he can't share this experience with his wife who said do what you want to tell me about it that isn't worth having and so he says hey thanks but no thing i found this day in a mile little disappointing

although i did like the mean it was a way to trick her into seeing her boobs like in school but it can't like the like sweet moment of the the woman being like you know what? I wish I could marry a guy like you someday. I thought you were in Ben Kevin Klein afterwards being like But I bet a blowjob would be okay as she's leaving which was a Rooter joke that I expected the movie to make because you're like man

He is a good guy and a creep just like me. I think you're forgetting that I called that line Yeah, that's true. Literally saying it a couple of seconds before it happened. So who's the creep now? Ellie, it's the creep. I'm the creep or am I secretly the author of Last Vegas? And I. William F. Vegas.

Yeah, I just put myself into the mind of a creep to write this part. It was difficult. I studied creeps. I read up on them. I followed Dan and Stuart around for a while. Hey, wait, why am I being brought into this? Well, two words. Wormy boner. Okay, yeah, I mean that up. And let's continue. So Kevin Klein and Morgan Freeman, their character arts are over. Mm-hmm. Now. Robert De Niro says that as well as Dye.

Yeah, they might as well drop dead right now in the movie not in real life the national treasures robert and euro says to michael doggles do you really love this woman you're marrying and michael is like as she's really nice is like no no if you don't really love her you shouldn't do it uh... and then marie steam virgin shows up with the party they're both interested in her

and rock michael doggles pushes robert and euro into a pool study get to her first was really off limits. Like, I've all the terrible things that they do. Like, he's an old man. Like, De Niro just elbows old Michael Douglas. I don't know. I'm not Douglas.

Sorry, the other way around. He checks Robert De Niro into the pool. Michael Douglas could have broken his hip doing that. If anything, he should have done that. Wait, Michael Douglas could have broken his hip, hip checking Robert De Niro? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Wait, wait, what? He was in Grudge match. He was in Grudge match. He's keeping it tight. And then he falls on the pool and then gets to do some good face wet acting. He does- Robert De Niro's response when he falls into the pool. His facial expression, it's like he's in a stoogeous movie. Yeah, he might as well fall into a bad of cream pies. Just like everything these

old guys do in the movie, every time they do something beautiful women flock to them because that's the coolest thing they could have ever possibly done. For some reason, it is very much a like a rested male fantasy of the whole movie. Yeah, oh the idea that- Then you get to hang out with Kevin Klein and Morgan for you and all John you get to have a last Vegas that men of that men of any age are like catnip to big-rested women Yeah, in their mid to early 20s I'm guessing and the though the world has moved on I mean I was actually having to climb with no one else and also but also that like this is well

Yeah, I mean he's got the extras in this movie are cast like a cinematics bikini movie. Every woman in the movie, aside from Mary Steein Virgin, seems to be about 24 years old, super chesty and wearing either bikini or a dress made out of like some kind of second skin fabric that just like siloq would wear. I've never been to Las Vegas, but seems like for a huge tourist destination There were no tourists walking around there is just like sexy ladies Everywhere and I want to know where is this ledger this fabled city of the sexy ladies this last Vegas you speak of This lust Vegas, which would be a good name for you. Yeah, I think it's a great idea Yeah, you know, let's pitch that okay

Lust Vegas and is that a casino where people pay Wait, what do you want to call in you would like to know wild is the people call in and they talk about their sexy times in the last day yeah yeah no well it's sex themed games yeah so like instead of poker it's trip poker

you can just keep the game the whole yeah instead of roulette it's I don't know, boulette. That's great. Yeah, there you go. And Michael Boublet plays it. And instead of slot machines, they're just slomish.

Yeah, I mean, it's disgusting. I shouldn't have said that. Anyway, the ball said things we regret tonight. Oh, yeah, we've had a real Las Vegas experience. What stays in Las Vegas, up so, wait. Wait, hold on. What happens in the Las Vegas, Las Vegas. Las Vegas. Las Vegas. Las Vegas up so wait What happens in the Las Vegas? Okay, in the last Vegas happens in the stay when Larry's when Las Vegas met Sally

No, no when cousin Larry met Susanne Vega They went to regions when Vega from Street Fighter 2 Stays in Las Vegas, But not Super Street Fighter 2. When Lou Vega slays Lassie, it stays. When Lassie helps, make the racist wait. This is the worst prophecy I've ever heard. No, trust me, it's a quattre. It makes sense metaphorically. Anyway.

Everyone has had mad at each other, but then the end, Rob Ginero stops Michael Douglas from marrying this girl by pushing him into a pool, Mary Steen Virgin, and Michael Douglas are going to get married. And there's a couple shots of Morgan Freeman looking like he's getting, uh, experiencing other stroke. Where Michael Douglas is talking about how he is old,

but he doesn't want to be old and what happened to his life and they keep cutting to Morgan Freeman literally just staring at into the distance And you just wonder like what is he what is he thinking of that? It's like it's like they took a steel image of working for a man I just put it up on screen It was the what was like the the Russian theorist was it like the Kulishkov? Yeah, Kulishov. Yeah, like the experiments were, they just like used the same expression and added it in. And you put more in the agreement

and then cut to a shot of soup, he'd be hungry. He showed more agreement and cut to a shot of like a grave, he said. Show more agreement and cut to a shot of boobs and you have the movie Last Vegas. Yeah, so it's a black expression. Yeah, yeah, it's a beautiful experiment in shot conjunction and juxtaposed editing. So Michael Douglas. The theory of montage.

And everyone's happy and Kevin Klein. Speaking of montage, there's a great, there's a great dress up montage. There is no. Romani Moco looking at them and shaking his head. It is the laziest dressing up montage. They never even get dressed in anything really crazy or so. No, there was in their country. I mean, Morgan Freeman's dressed in a kind of a crazy jacket the whole time. It looks like the devil's a guilty thing.

If bulletin' the head could squeeze in a silly hat mask, dress up seen, then surely last Vegas could spend some time and energy into that. Yeah. I feel like Kevin Klein pushed for more the a dot-ring old man wandering on Las Vegas. But they don't really do too many, they say quippy old man jokes, but there's no situations where they're old, there's no Mr. McGoo type things. Yeah. Do we hear the final ending though, where like,

like those in the married version? My little does, in the married version. My little does, in the married version. Yeah, and Robert De Niro's not married. They're gonna get married, that's opening the door to Las Vegas too. We didn't stick around until the end of the credits, so there might have been a stinger.

There's probably a signature scene where like 50 cent looks the camera is like, those guys know how to party. Wink! Kevin Klein does it. It's Heath Sparkle and then of Magic Fairy hits him with a wand and he turns into a frog or some shit, I don't know. Oh my god, he's that frog character from the Las Vegas comics amazing. Exactly, yeah. And Kevin Klein doesn't answer his phone telling him that Michael does is getting married because he's too busy in

Conjugal joy with his wife Joanna Gleeson in a circular bed like the one from Las Vegas So did he buy one of those? I? Where did they go and they somehow afford that? I was having it? Yeah, I was wondering I was doing a super We're wondering like what the value of the circular rotating bed We're not gonna talk to talk about our sexual suggestions for how you would use. I know, but that seems totally out of character for this. I guess.

I'm just confused. I don't understand what the necessary sexual advantage is having it rotate in bed. I think it requires a lot of person to stand off to the side of the bed. I'll tell you this, Dan. Have you ever had Norgez and Walt Disney? Because if not, you have not lived. You start spinning spinning while you're doing it and you'll see what I've

dealt what I mean like a normal human has to just spin around during the process like I guess like a wait how are you having sex hold on the right way dude okay Dan saves you the trouble of balancing on your penis and spinning around that way I don't know that you guys are doing this. That's how the Zooka Joe orgasms. Well, I was doing a joke. Because they always do the backwards flip when they hear the joke, right? That's not a flip-take. Yeah, but it's spinning.

He's just falling over backwards. Yeah, but that's like the same thing. Not at all. In any way. So, this movie, if I was going to subscribe it, I'd say it's like grown-ups the movie with old people It's like hey these four actors were offered a vacation in Las Vegas if they would occasionally appear in front of camera and just talk to each other Yeah, but that all but the explain the the mini school budget, but Kevin Klein and Morgan Freeman almost save it in some cases Because they're just charismatic old men

Yeah, let the other script of final judgments I'm going to start off and I'm going to actually say that I really buy the slimbus to margins kind of like this movie on a scale of good bad movie, bad bad movie, kind of like just on the basis of the charm of the actors and as you say mostly Kevin Klein, Morgan Freeman, I kind of liked it. It's not a good movie, but it is. It's a kind of enjoyable sitcom about four-old guys. It's the Golden Guys. It is the Golden Guys, yeah. So I kind of liked it on that level.

The Golden Guys, go to Las Vegas. Sure, what do you guys say about it? I think that's fair. I mean, it could easily be a bad, bad movie. I'll agree with you though. I feel like it's such a non-movie, but it's so inoffensive and Kevin Klein can be kind of funny.

Yeah, I guess. I don't know if I would agree with inoffensive since again, it is an entire medium-made movie. No, you're right. You're hearing it women's boobs, but I like it doesn't. It's just an actor.

I guess it's just. No, all men do do. I mean, men of all, you just do that. But I don's super I guess it's no old man do do I mean man of all I just do that that I don't know if there should have been more substance of the movie movies. My substance I don't mean like a message or like emotion I just mean jokes that I guess holding a mirror of nature isn't enough for you. I'm just saying if that a fat that age we can't fight our beastial urges then what hope is there for humanity? I feel like if there was... I mean there aren't jokes really, right?

It's one of those movies where like there's a couple old men jokes in the beginning, and then they kind of forget that they're old men for a lot of the movie. It's just like, they're just not 20-year-olds, you know? I mean, there's a couple of ones again, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Klein accomplish a lot with just like funny body movements and there's a good scene where there's a scene that's kind of funny where Morgan Freeman drinks a bunch of vodka and red bull. Yeah, and then just starts talking and can't stop talking.

Yeah, that's pretty good. And a less talented actor would have made that inseparable, but he managed to make it work. Yeah, like if Robert and Ero had been the one for that to happen to, it would have been terrible. No offense. No offense. And Morgan Freeman is what he's saying. Wow. Wow.

Wow. I would say he's less funny than Morgan Freeman is. That's true. Let's go. Let's go. Let's funny, I'll buy. Yeah. I would say this movie doesn't really fit into our categories. I cannot say it's a movie I kind of liked.

There were a couple times when I laughed at it, but it's not like, I feel like for a movie to be something I kind of liked, I would have to like, have gotten more than like a thimbleful of pleasure and watching it. Maybe I just enjoyed watching it with my buddies. I will say that. Yeah, when we're all old, 58 years from now, let's watch Las Vegas together.

Yeah, how's that gonna happen? So we're all gonna show up to Las Vegas. Okay. Dan's gonna be getting married again, I guess. Yeah, of course, by that point, we'll be called last Vegas because the apocalypse will have happened. Sure. Bikers will roam the earth. And it's gonna be run by mutants. Of course, of course, but they're still running good casinos. Yeah. If anything, they're a little more honest than the people running the casinos now. Yeah, the mutants are honest, of course, too of a fault. But the mutants

are kind of prudish, so there's no drinking and prostitution is illegal. Yeah, because of the radiation priests. Exactly. The radiation priests who believe that the nuclear war was the anger of a righteous God. Yeah, of course. And as gifted the mutants with beloved radiation and mutation. Yeah, because that that was his gift upon being touched.

And of course they keep the last. So we're going to arrive. They keep the last pieces of your name. That'll harden road warriors. Inside of minions and people are exposed to it to see what God has in store for them. keep the last so we're going to arrive they keep the last business that you're in a hard and road warriors inside of minions and people are exposed to it to see what God has in store for them okay if he's going to give them usually it's cancer but sometimes it's like a superpower yeah yeah it's radiation

Dan that's what it does to people but anyway I would say it's not a bad bad movie or a good bet it's not a good bad movie but it's not this is a I tell you what I I'll tell you what, I think Dan would, this is what I think Dan would think of as a movie to watch on a plane. Yeah. If you want to see it, if you're a young actor and you want to object lessen in how being charming

can save material, maybe watch this movie. That's good. This is a learning experience. It's homework. So before we move on to our next segment, just to want to take a moment for a word from our sponsor. And this episode, again, thank you for continuing to sponsor us, is brought to you by

Squarespace, do that do that a better tomorrow I Might be it's like consumer products. Yeah, it's like Oscar or something So you're maxed-track industries. Let's move on to letters. Letters from listeners. There's nothing else. There's nothing else. Wait, this is very unusual.

Some other chump used to sing a song about letters, but not today, because it's me, Stuart. You're taking advantage of the fact that I'm tired from taking care of a baby. That's why I've been kind of bad this episode and this letter songs not very good Take it still work Take what I'm too busy reading a letter Dan is holding it and rubbing my legs because they're tired from working and running around and not being a

Stew word around it. I'm not being a stew word. So your relationship is kind of a five-year-old and his dad's, I think. I didn't realize that. And a stew is inherently tiring to legs. Yeah, well, you say it's to work standing up. That's true. Oh, wait, do I have to sing enough? No, it's fine. It's an apparatus to it. Yes, you do. I think it's fine.

Verse, verse, verse, verse. So, no. On the first day of stew worth this stew would gave to us. This is an a B C a B format. Yeah, what's that? So it's a C our AP for So, walk a walk. Stadler and World are? What do you think of that joke? So this first letter goes like this. If I was more on my game, I'd have a Stadler and World are joke for you there. Hey, dudes.

Good Stuart, write this letter. Long time listener, second time writer and letter. You may remember me as the person who has a crush on Tom Newton's last Dan. Oh, I remember that, yeah. Well, it's cool. Seeing how Tom Noon and Dan are the same person, right? Aren't we? Oh, Tom Noon and how did you get here?

Wow, for instance, don't lie. I've been with you the whole time, inside of you. That's weird, I don't like that. It's a pretty great Tom Noon and slash Dan impression. Well, seeing. That is what it would sound like if Tom Noon and Dan got in that pod from the fly and combined it to one being It was seeing how both Dan and Mr. Newton are married. I'm still here looking for a boyfriend

Imagine my surprise when you guys mentioned that enemy of the podcast David Kaelin is single I hear he looks like a Jewish mountain man. I'm very much into that So if you guys wanted to give my email to him, I would be totally cool with that I don't know what his type is, but if he's into the ladies with blue hair and tattoos, maybe we're meant to be. Sincerely, Sarah last name with hell. Do you like sports? Yeah, that's his type is sports.

I should probably mention her. Are you a sport? Because then he would like to. You like to correct. I should probably mention I'm not Jewish, so this sort of depends on whether he or not he dates lapsed Catholics. Would Catholics have certain lapsed Catholics. Well, with Catholics sitting laps. Yeah.

Uh, just for the record, David, my brother does not just date Jewish girls. As far as I know, he's not involved in the own, but he never tells me these things. And if you like sports, I'd like to see my little blue hair in tattoos. Honestly, the only thing I know is that he's like my thing. The only thing I know he has opinions on his sports. All right.

So if you are hockey basketball football or baseball, are you a good listener? Because he is a talker. Yeah. Do you like sarcasm? Do you like how your ball is busted for no reason? He is the Kaelin family curse, I think. Of talkiveness.

First by a gypsy. Yeah. Talk to me so much, will you? Well, from now on, your fair, your generations are to come. We'll never stop talking. Oh, my aching bone, so you wouldn't carry my bucket of water with me to my hut, though.

And so I curse you with a tongue that will never rest. But thank you for writing in. I have to admit, because we've a backlog, this email is a bit old Maybe Sarah. She might be married by now conditions have changed, but if not maybe make a look connect I'm sure okay, let me pull out my cubit colored arrow Dave Why don't you write in and say if you're interested your cubit? Because I'm tired my tongue is half asleep I

Sad on it by accident. Now it's all pins and needles. Some reason that's not a good enough excuse for me. Because you do it all the time, 24 hours a day. That's true. Actually, that made me think of a new Hellraiser character, Pinton. He just looks like a normal guy

till he opens his mouth. He sees tons of things. He's got a bunch of pins on it? In his tongue, yeah. He drives a Pinto. That's the only kind of beanies. So, I mean, it's difficult. He's got a bunch of pins on it. In his tongue, yeah. It drives a pinto. And it's the only kind of beanies. So, this is different gold. He's got a bunch of beans.

His favorite all-time Disney animator, Pinto Colvie, the voice of goofy. This next letter starts out, good day, flop house, since coming across your podcast. Good day, me too. In early spring, I've been going through all the old episodes. The other day, I was driving to work

when the app for the Chaos Experiment, number 48, started up with a warning on the subpar audio quality of this episode. I'm not sure what happened next. I may have reached for my iPod to skip the app, but the rest of the podcast continued and it was at 1.5 time speed audio. My reverence for the Flophouse host plummeted as I thought. These fucking idiots think their listeners are going to listen to them talk about a movie at 1.5 times speed. Are you fucking kidding? Shit heads. A lot of fun this time.

Wow, I turned the flop house off. Many hours later in the day, I discovered the crappy new iOS 7 operating system has a playback speed button on the podcast app. Aligning the user to listen to a podcast at half normal, one and a half times you want us to sound like this. Why on earth does feature exist is beyond my comprehension and I transferred my very rational disgust in the direction of the shit for Brainiacs at Apple.

Many apologies for momentarily doubting you fellas. Thanks Kyle last name with health. Well, no problem, Kamikolo. No thanks, Kyle. Well you're doubting. You got really angry at us. No, it's not. You got really angry at us, buddy.

We can take it. You know what? We're just voices in the ether. Let's take, you know what? I'm gonna take Kyle's first one. Let's say, you know what? I'm gonna take out some of that first one. If I didn't know that we weren't screwing around with listeners, I'd get pretty mad too if I was a listener. If I was like, look, these knuckleheads are trying out some kind of experiments on me. So hilarious, Andy Kovman. Chaos experiments. And I don't like it. Yeah. I

have fair enough. But thanks for continuing to give us a chance. But moving on. It's a desperate dude. All my grade A prime beef. Sure. The next letter goes little something like this. I write to you from a hotel room in South Carolina lying in a shitty bed. And I guess they're called for quality bed. me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me you and some guest shows kept me company for my 13-hour road trip from Massachusetts yesterday and I thought I'd thank you. Feel free to chip in for gas money. Anywho,

in the stretch of episodes- You know, we weren't actually in the car, right? Those are just our voices. Trapped. As if a witch had put us into a magic mirror of some kind. I keep a subtle one mirror. Anywho- Play what? In the stretch of episodes.

From the classic X-Men origins, Wolverine and the Jonathan Travolta vehicle from Paris with love. Jonathan Travolta. The discussion of best supporting actress winners became up. I can't remember which episode, but essentially, Dan said that Monique winning the Oscar in 2009 would usher in an area, and sorry, an era of supporting actress winners with apostrophes in their name. You know sorry an era of supporting actress winners with a post-fee in their name.

No, an area of supporting actress winners. We have built a town for them and we don't have to deal with them anymore. That's racist. And now supporting actress winners. And now history shows how prescient Dan truly is. For low in this year, a mere four years after a baby throwing performance by Monique, the best supporting actress winner was Lapita Inongo in Yongo.

Nice pronunciation, dude. You done it, you done it bad enough, just keep going. So go on, you damn. You're only gonna dig deeper on this one. Oh my best Brian last name. He even spelled it out, he said, in Yongo. So what do you put the phonetic spelling in there for you? Yeah, you still have to have trouble with it.

Yeah, so I guess the point is, the letter is donate to the foundation for Dan's tongue. Just $2 a day. Do you have trouble saying ordinary words in the course of your ordinary day? You may have Dan's tongue syndrome or DTS. Suffers of DTS often don't know they have it because they don't listen to themselves and they talk It must be pointed out to them by their asshole friends who make fun of them all the time

So please make fun of your friends or if you have DTS let your friends make fun of you and if you have a DTF That's something else entirely I don't know Down to fuck Now, why do you look at me when you said that, dude? Well, because you knew what it was. Well, of course, but... There was no reason for me to bring that kind of vulgarity into this podcast about a movie

about old men wanting to have sex with young women. So, moving on. This next letter. First off, hearty congratulations all around for what appears to be an explosion of podcast popularity. You guys are the best and deserve to have. Don't worry, this episode will take care of that. And deserve to have Kat on a hot, tintin roof ranked right up there. Tantan.

And the annals of radio plays with Wells War of the Worlds in that I'm sure Elliott's sultry tones also caused widespread panic in New Jersey. Oh yeah. Second. And to the heart of the matter. This the hoax where they thought a southern woman's somewhere like Stinson. He was just running under the tree. Terrified people.

So horrible. Chayotic. I don't understand. It defies logic. Government. They fell apart. They can't help us. Second, and to the heart of the matter.

As a woman who dates other women I've waited with somewhat baited breath for the arrival of blues the warmest color and it's potential for a not shitty slash entirely Unbelievable slash somewhat skin-crawling depiction of the intimacy between my people while my partner and I differed I got confused while my partner and I differed on the intricacies of the film itself and narrative style pacing etc We agreed that it is an achingly beautiful movie I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people.

I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people.

I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. I'm very people. scenes, kind of like a scene of a selection of canes. Oh boy.

Kind of prepped us to feel alienated before we even took our seats. Granted, most people who see the movie probably won't chew on their feelings about it quite as much, just because statistically most people who see the movie won't be on the queer spectrum. But man, without the countless printed back and forth about the sex, she and I probably would have either just been pleased at a more realistic stab at big screen lady bangin' or felt the general vague discomfort one feels in a theater full of strangers watching actors go at it. In a perfect world we would watch movies with fresh eyes and obviously we're all swayed to agree by critics or friends, but the coverage of

this movie has been so outrageous and had such a marked effect on how I watched it, but it was wondering if the hype around a film, whether controversy or claim or anything really has genuinely altered your enjoyment of it. Whether it's you spending 45 minutes waiting for an infamous scene, like how I was warned repeatedly about the subtextual ambiguity of the rape scene and the original straw dogs, which takes you out of the film as soon as that scene actually occurs, or if you've gone in really, really ready for some lauded film to blow your way and sort of convince yourself that it was better than your gut told you, like, sorry Dan, Rachel getting married. Either way, thank you gentlemen for letting my world

every other Saturday. Signed, Sappho, she didn't have the last name to hold. I mean, well thank you for listening and we appreciate you for the compliments. But no thank you. For telling me how I feel about Rachel getting married. No, she was just saying how she feels about it. I thought that she was saying that I was convincing. No, no, she was saying. I mean, you recommended Rachel getting married and she's saying you're a jerk face.

Yeah, those are the words dumbass jerk face, but for brains. I think that was what she said. Why does she get that pretty clean? She was saying that there's a movie she had heard great things about, but in her gut, didn't like it. So she's a polydus and you that you're not. Maybe you were the words that she had heard

I apologize to your turn. I have to say that That's understanding usually I'm not swayed as much before I see a movie by what people have said about whether they like it Then by what I expect the movie to be from like the marketing materials Mm-hmm What I expect the experience to be like and often a movie that I should give I should be more open-minded with I don't like because it doesn't live up to what I thought it was going to be which is not fair to the movie. But with Blizzlemore's color I haven't seen it yet but I feel like I'd be more tainted by all the stories about how horrible it was to work with the director and how the two stories felt really tortured by him. I've actually read very little about it other than all the stuff Dan said about it. So I'm looking forward to going into it with relatively fresh.

Like a newborn babe. Like a powder. No, powder was just like a guy with lightning powder. Yeah, but I thought he was like a homonculus or something. No, he was totally fresh. His mother was struck by lightning, which made him into a bald-el-linos Superman. OK.

I'm not. I can't think of it like a really great example of this off the top of my head, but I do feel like I often fall into the trap of, of, of, expecting too much from a movie based on, you know, it being very well regarded. Well, there are, yeah, there's certainly times when like if a movie is hyped up too much in terms of, it's a classic or something like that, or it's amazing. You have, I feel like sometimes I have to like settle myself before I see it and be like, let me just watch this as if I've heard, as if it just started.

Yeah. I remember I like, I feel like in this last year, I remember watching the screener of her and being like, okay, I like this. I don't. Well, that was, yeah, that was a movie where I'd read a lot, a lot about how amazing it was. When I watched it, I think it was more that it was not the movie I was interested in seeing. And so I was like, oh, there's a certain point that that was where it was pointed.

It goes down a very, I feel like traditional expected role, or not like, oh, this is- There's a certain point that- That was where it was pointed. It goes down a very, I feel like, traditional expected role, or not role root. And I kind of expected it to keep the inventiveness of the early scenes throughout the film, and it just didn't do that. But you were talking about like- Eep. Godzilla, I mean, which you haven't seen, but-

I still haven't seen it yet. but I've seen the original Godzilla. Right, but I liked it. By which I mean the 1998 version. Why are there other versions? I liked the new Godzilla. I neither loved it nor hated it, but I feel like there's so many people out there who either love that movie.

They're like Vlasorempers. They're the baby geniuses, baby Godzilla. They got big diapers. Godzilla has fat, there are people on either, there's very few people in the middle ground except for Dan. It's very lonely there. Where I walked in the middle ground.

But I'm kind of surprised that people either loved or hated that movie so much because I thought that that movie was a good version of an old-style monster movie. Like it was a, like, it was nothing totally new, but it was a more classic monster film than other film. And you were saying that you think there's probably because of the way it was marketed where that movie

had such great marketing that it promised something crazy that maybe it didn't work. I haven't seen it yet either, but I feel like every criticism I read is that like not enough Godzilla boring, and that's not enough to turn me off of the movie. Yeah, I feel the same, I haven't seen it, I feel the same way, but I do feel like there are movies,

like Godzilla's trailers were fantastic, and maybe it falls in the same trap that Prometheus fell into, which I think is the example I used when I was talking to you where that trailer was fantastic. The original Prometheus trailer, it is I think is the example I use when I was talking to you where that trailer was fantastic. The original Prometheus trailer is maybe the best trailer I can think of since the original Alien trailer, which is maybe the best trailer ever cut for a movie. The trailer for Alien is so scary on its own and so suspenseful and it tells no lies

about the movie and everything that's promised in that trailer comes to fruition in the movie. Whereas Prometheus, one they had that stupid mystery aspect to it where they're like, maybe we're not going to tell you what's in this movie. But the trailer was so good and the movie was like fun. I enjoyed it a lot, but there's nothing, no great shakes, you know, that I think people, instead of being like, that was alright, we're like, that's so... Put that on the TV box. That was the one. No great shakes. But very quick. Last letter of the evening.

Hello, floppers. I was told you like it when listeners keep their letters short regards Billy last name withheld. Oh, hey, thanks, Billy. So thanks. Billy Wilder, everybody. Yeah. The late Billy Wilder showing the width.

When was he supposed to be here? One of the greatest screenwriters of Classic Hollywood. But now we move on to our final segment of the evening. Final judgment. Final judgment. No, no. No. Because final is in final judgment.

What did you think of those letters? Well, I gave them good letters. Yeah, they're great letters. Yeah. I'm just testing you. Thanks for writing in. I'm sorry that we didn't have better answers. Good night, everybody. No, no, no, there's one last segment. What's last segment, Dan? Where we recommend movies that we actually liked. I'm like last Vegas, even though I i kinda like last but not like i like i like the movie that i'm gonna recommend which is uh... i had this pleasure of seeing uh... stop making sense the talking heads concert film directed by john damey

uh... demy more at uh... the broken academy of music it's like a small version of a more a re-release uh... in a In a larger release soon, but this Brooklyn Academy of music screening had actually Jonathan Demi and another producer there Cancer Q and I recommend seeing something since when the director is no, I recommend seeing stop any sense this qualified I recommend seeing it on a big screen because this is not only the big of the better projected on the moon This is not only my favorite concert film and I think in arguably one of the best concert films ever made It is one of my favorite movies which was driven home seeing it on a big screen with big sound where after every screen with big sound where after every number that talking heads did people would burst into applause as if the people on stage could actually hear them appreciate their music

making and and used to that and you said you fools it's on film don't you see it's like you be taken for a pack no idiots they're playing a lab on you. What do you think this is like the great train robber that train is not gonna run you down? No, but it was it was good. It was it was great and One of the great things about stop making sense is it's just a beautifully constructed stage show It's where you really see David Burns background as an art student and is there any any staging and any giant robot zombies coming out on stage. So you're looking for more of an Iron Maiden type figure.

Yeah, like an anti-type figure. So they then like fight when he's on stage? Yeah, he like lifts up Adrian Smith while it is a wikigutur. So I'll wrap this up. My least favorite part of any video to video of an Iron Maiden show is when the giant Eddie comes out and it's like Was this the six flags Iron Maiden show? Whatever dude shut up Wrap this up very quickly, but I do want to say that it was also there's something kind of bittersweet to watching

Stopping since because you you really feel the joy that all of these performers are having playing music with one another And you know how short live that joy is going to be and how talking heads are all gonna end up hating each other very shortly thereafter and not play together again other than. Not do so much talking amongst themselves anymore. From their heads but that making sense. Watch it on DVD if you can't see it any other way but uh... state-recommended release it and if john the demis there go for it

i'll be some questions i would like to recommend a movie also by a director named demi but not john it and then he know really jock demi director of the umbrellas of shareboard jock demi more yeah jock demi more brother of john it and then we were this is not a music film though director of the umbrellas of shareboard Jacques Demi Moore. Yeah, Jacques Demi Moore. Brother of Jonathan Demi Moore. This is not a music film though.

What? That I'm going to recommend. This is one of his earliest films. I think it's his first full length and it's called Lola. And it's from 1961 and it stars Anook Amy and a couple of other actors. Now this Lola, was she a showgirl? She was a dancer. Yeah. And she sings one song in it about her Now this Lola, was she a showgirl? She was a dancer.

Yeah. And she sings one song in it about her stage character, Lola. And it's a French New Wave movie that's like not one of the big major development ones, but it's a very fun touching movie about a bunch of characters, this dancer who has a son and who is still in love with the man who left her years ago with this son But who she doesn't expect ever to come back and old childhood friend of hers who comes back now and as a crush on her a single mother who has a teenage daughter

Who both are looking for connections with men in their own way one out of loneliness the other of curiosity and with men in their own way, one out of loneliness, the other out of curiosity, and an American sailor from Chicago who is kind of in a casual relationship with Lola, but is kind of floating through his time in Paris. Or not, I don't remember, it's Paris, it's a coastal town, I think, I don't remember. But floating through his time in France, and just kind of interacting with these other characters. And it's not the characters intersect a lot, but it's not super plot heavy, but it's very fun at times and also just charming at other times and very touching at other times.

And the photography in it is this beautiful kind of straightforward, early 1960s, black and white photography that's really crisp with a lot of great of great angles and i really enjoyed a lot so lolla so french new way of movie and movie about a new wave band sir what do you have what new wave are you doing it better be served not these must i the wave i'm doing uh... so it's a wave of blood in a way okay that sounds scary uh... so this is a movie from two thousand ten uh... it's a movie called Stakeland. It's a

somewhat qualified. I like the sound of this place. It sounds delicious. It sounds this is kind of a qualified recommendation. So this is in that I didn't like this movie. Well, this is a movie that feels very much like a promising start to a young horror or suspense director's career. The director Jim Mikkel just recently released a movie called Cold and July, which is based on a Joe Landsdale novel and it's getting some good press. He also is involved in what looks like a TV series based on the Happen Leonard series of Joe Landsdale's short stories, which is exciting. Leonard series of chill lands to short stories, which is exciting. And from Stakeland, it that sounds like a decent fit. It's a movie. It's basically a post-apocalyptic movie where instead of your traditional zombie apocalypse, you

have a vampire apocalypse, and it follows a young boy who also is the narrator, like a teenager, who travels around with a hardened vampire slayer, as they go from settlement to settlement, trying to head north to New Eden, which is like a promised land, and along the way they run into religious fanatics, multiple horrible vampire situations, and other things. And there's some great stuff about, like there's some great civilization in ruins, but hope still rises from the ashes, type things. There's some great stuff with the evil religious cultists

that are led by Michael, an interesting terrible evil role. Michael Moore. No, the evil vampires played by the guy who played the lead bald guy from fringe, what are those bald guys? Strangers, or whatever those guys. Fringes. Yeah, they call them fringes. They call them turries with the fringe on top.

Yes. And I mean, there's a couple of issues like there's a, like a climax that's a little strange and feels a little forced. And there's a little bit too much narration from the hero who is played by the annoying younger brother from Revenge. Of the nerds. I'm phone-like.

But no, I think it's good. It's got some great little, some great practical effects. And there's some genuine scary moments. So if you like vampire movies and you like post-apocalyptic stuff, I'd recommend it. Alright. So guys, it's time to get out of this sweat-filled room. This is a very hot room that we're in. Yeah. Dan, when did we decide to record these in the sauna at the fryer's club?

Well, we're recording. We're asleep just slowly go up and up. I knew it was going to be a party without air conditioning. So well, guys, I say. You can imagine our flesh glistening. And we bump into each other rule stick for a second Maybe we're saying you peel apart. It's totally separate. Peel apart like some bubble tape Six feet of bubble gum for you not them So I say you guys I had a good time in 58 years
