Like sands through the hourglass, so are the flop house hosts wasting their lives. We discuss Prince of Persia, and I'm Stuart Wellington. I am Elliot Kaelin, just getting not a robot. Well, decided to do weird voices for some reason. Well last time we had such luck with made up voices. Yeah. What? Never. No way. We were making it. We did a bunch of stupid voices. We were pretending to do. No, we just said things in stupid ways. We didn't really do voice. Well, I was doing voice. I was doing my Gary Marshall impression, which was a couple of types of ways. That was spot on, right? Yeah. After words, I listened to the podcast and I had Gary Marshall say the same things.

I know this is like, wait, Stuart, I'm a little worried that you have Gary Marshall, uh, turned up in your, your, your, your, your, your. No, you mean many Marshall, the tiny Gary Marshall that lives in your pocket? Yep. I wanted to make very small movies for me, but I want them to be tightly packed with characters and jokes Geez That's not rest on our laurels though. It's not just We're gonna rest on our hardies. I don't oh get it Laurel and hardies

Anything about the hardies chain of restaurants. I'd love to rest there too. I'm not resting on our Carl's Jr. guys. Anything so we don't have to talk about the movie tonight. Well, what movie? The movie was called Prince of Persia, Colin. Yeah, the Sans of Time. What? To differentiate it from all the other Prince of Persia.

Yeah, I guess the successful Prince of Persia series that goes back years, I guess they're differentiating from the video game, except for the fact that I guess there is also a video game name. It's much the way that Hot Dog the movie was called that, so people would know it was not a hot dog that you could eat. People were going into the theater, they're like, oh, it's $12. That's a pretty expensive. This would be a pretty good hot dog. They'd sit down and see it watch a movie and they they're like, oh, it's $12. That's a pretty expensive car. This would be a pretty good hot dog.

But they'd sit down and see it watch a movie and they'd be like, yeah, this movie's fine, but where's the hot dog? It can like shag, right? Because you went and you're like, I'll have one shag, please. Like, what's that? What's that? I didn't want that. Yeah.

I want a movie. People were in there thinking that they're going to get carpeting. They're going to get a haircut.'re gonna get you know a nice screw a comfortable screw I get shagged no no shut it down shut this one down since of time Prince of Persia so that's the movie we watched a epic blockbuster of non-persions like a pirate saying the Persian dead man's chest. It was it definitely felt like it was this was the pirates of the

Caribbean knockoff you know but learned a few of the lessons of that film. Yes it was more of a Pirates the Caribbean too. Uh-huh. Two shades of blue. There's a... Jake... So it was called... Yeah, we pulled it back there. I like it. Yep.

Trying to keep us on track, but crazy, Dan. Words sound like other words. We could have done it. Jake Schillin-Hall was in this movie. He was. Alfred Mullin. Alfred Mullin-Hallin-Hall have to practice to pronounce the star of the movie's name correctly? I'm familiar with the work of his sister, primarily in... In her name is?

Dominant Submission theme. Film such a secretary. And I think that's the only one. What's her name? I forgot her first name. Really? Maggie. Maggie Jillin Hall. What's what is her name? I forgot her first name really Maggie Maggie Jill and Hall yeah and

Maggie are Jill and all the Hungarian actress and this movie also had Alfred Molina and Gimma Archer 10 and let's not forget Benjamin Kingsley Jim Archer 10 who is Ben Kingsley up yet into The kind of Catherine Hygol, Gerard Butler territory where he's been in a lot of different flop house movies. He's been in it too. He's been in it too. Sound of Thunder. We talked about doing blood rain, but we didn't actually ever.

No, I just watched that for fun. Watch that for fun, Z. It's a pleasure. What else? Was he in anything else? Maybe he wasn't, but he's been in so many words probably in the last airbender Everybody was in fucking Valentine's day. Yeah, one who's bald wasn't either guy was uh wasn't either one with

Jennifer Garner No, that was that's a creature. That's America. No, you're thinking of Patrick Dempsey. Oh, okay. You know what it not even balls. I mean, he could have worn a wig. He wore a wig and blood rain. Yeah, it's true. Or the wig wore him. He depends on how you ask, because it's a pretty good wig.

So what was this movie all about? There was Sands of Time or? Sands of there were Princess of Persia. There was Sands of Times. So Jake Jake when I think of Persia I think of carpets which of which there were a nine you think of Paisley nine in this yeah I think of the guys who battled a 300 you think of slippers yeah, Persian Japanese uh-huh Um, magic lamps. So what do we get? What do we get here? Because Sure, no, who cares? That's

I'm amazed that there was no genie character in this movie That's the I'm kind of surprised now that there was that there was not an appearance by a wisecracker and genie Yeah, I mean all of us Aladdin. This is a world where magic exists Yeah, very much like an oversight that there's no genie. Yeah Maybe that was it that was a cut sub-loch hopefully in real life This was two hours long in 20 years. They will go back and insert the genie character to make this movie what it was always meant to be So we Prince of Persia call in the sands of time colon special edition Yeah, I mean is original vision featured a genie in the back

Just making faces to distract you from how boring everything was Well, yeah, it wasn't boring originally Because the genie was there. Yeah, it was like you're getting two movies for the prize Yeah, there were special glasses. It's crazy. Genie glasses. Yeah, so here's its Persia Olden times. Yeah, everybody speaks with an English accent olden times. Everybody speaks with an English accent. And everybody is white and speaks with an English accent. Where they, where they, olden times, were they selected the papyrus font on the credits machine. The credit to credit a tricks in the 5,000. So a king of Persia sees a street urchin, a young boy.

Was there a prophecy or anything? No, no, no, there was kind of text in the beginning that said some lives are linked through time and they have a destiny, but there's no like chosen one type. Well, actually, there is at the end of the movie. But anyway, sees a kid bravely fighting in soldiers to save another kid and the king says, I like that kid's moxie. I'm going to adopt that orphan and make him a prince.

And that kid grows up to be Jake Gyllenhaal. So I'm assuming that we're skipping over the part where the king molests this child. That part doesn't appear on screen. Because the king is just picking an orphan off the street and taking it home with him. It is a little bit like the opening of different strokes, but the one with the scary music over it. So it looks like Conrad Bain is kidnapping those two children. I'm out of Conrad Bain was the king in his release. Listen, if Conrad Bain Kingsley feel about this. Ben Kingsley, the king's brother, didn't like it. He finds it to be insulting that street trash is living in the palace with the two

with the two real princes who are both Wusses of the highest order and One of them looks kind of like if Simon Pegg was playing Jesus and the other one is like a what's what's The darker skin to clearly not related to the other guy. Yes yes and what's and who's the guy to play screen lantern ryan Reynolds ryan Reynolds it was like a thinner swarther your ryan Reynolds is the bruh is the bruh with the goatee i didn't get a look at his abs so i couldn't see the comparison we're just calling for a figure into this he's a he's a boy all right he actually

doesn't appear in this all right that's a that's the king of England the king actually takes place at least, I'm gonna say 900 years after this movie. Well, I was confused, Alec, because all of these versions of time, all these versions had an English accent. We're still English with a British accent. And without a stutter. That's because in the past, everyone had English accents.

Right, all foreigners were English. Stuart pointed out, well, we're watching it, that's the old accent. That's the old time. It's old times, yep. Just like green slaves is the theme, so on to the middle ages. It required Jake Gyllenhaal to put on

an unintelligible English accent. Yeah, Jake Gyllenhaal has the second sleepiest performance of his career, think after brothers okay, but Flash forward to the present by which I mean the past Jake Gyllenhaal is a grown man and the best fighter and Acrobat of the family They are sent on a mission to do something and Ben Kingsley tricks them into tricks the princes into attacking a holy city which has a magic dagger in it which is guarded by

a princess played by Jim Martin and their battle plan revolves around Jake Jill and all doing some free climbing up the whole well this movie is based on a platform jumping video games there's a lot of Jake Jill and Hall climbing up the wall. Yeah, well, this movie is based on a platform jumping video games. There's a lot of Jake Gyllenhaal climbing up stuff and jumping off a thing. Let's not gloss over the fact too that they're attacking to find these magical weapons. Well, they've been told that that don't actually exist. They've been told that WMD's guys, WMD's. Oh, they've been told that this city is selling is making weapons to sell their enemies but it's not it's all a trick so what are you saying that yeah you saying

Iraq has a fucking magic dagger with the same time that's what you say yeah we should go over there and take that we did already oh we did yeah that's why everything's out of sand though so that's why we can't go back in time before the economic crash or unfortunately president bush pressed the button on the bottom of the dagger to go back in time and then did things worse than he did before. He actually screwed up batter than before. He did a batter for the pancakes. Yes, yes.

Well, as there's original plan was to have a pancake cook off. Oh, instead it turned into a horrible war. At least he or was punished by a game. Lawless grammar correction. So. And the thing about the, they point out, you just point out that because it is based on a platforming video game, they had to throw in shit, showing Jake chill and all jumping around

down like arrows driven into the wall. Yeah. Because the fun part of a platforming video game is watching the guy do that. It's not OK. So they sack this city, is watching the guy do that. So they sack this city, they take the magic dagger back. Jake Jalalal doesn't know what it is but he's in possession of it. He is framed for the murder of the king by evil Ben Kingsley, ironic.

And he has to go on the run with the princess who hates him because he attacked her city and stole her dagger along the way they run into Likeable bandit Alfred Milito who runs an ostrich racetrack She's so much more interesting when you say it than it is on screen This is gonna be a movie that sounds a lot more exciting and interesting than it actually is because there's a lot of adventures along the way a lot of fighting and running They have to run from place to place. They're attacked by a number of assassins. Flying snakes. Assassins with claws and flying guillotines and that shoot blades out of their hands. And also... And they look really awesome when they do it. Yeah and there's a

kind of like saxophone riff every time they appear and eventually they find out that this dagger when it's filled with the sands of time you press a button on the bottom and you can go back in time like a minute. Yeah. So I got next. That movie we watched. Yeah. Well, yeah, he can see like a minute into the future.

He's like, oh, that next guy, you can go back a minute into the past. Although the actual way that this dagger works is very fuzzy because like, you go backwards and you've got knowledge of what just happened in the future, I guess, but it doesn't really seem to like match up. Like, you still, like, if you grab the dagger in the future, you still have it in your hand when you go back into the past. Yeah, it doesn't exactly, you don't come back at exactly the moment that you left from. Yeah.

Anyway. Uh, so, uh, don't buy, don't buy one of these daggers. The same. The consumer. Dan's cut consumer reports review of this dagger is it's a borrow. Not a must buy. Wait till they work the bugs out. Yeah.

Two, don't be an early adopter. Yeah. Get the bait of bait of the magic time dagger. Yeah. It turns out that underneath there's a lot of fighting, a lot of Hu Ha and people get killed. It turns out that there's a giant stone underneath the city that everyone lives in. That is if you stab the dagger in it, that's where the sands of time come from. And if you stab the dagger in it for some reason, it takes the whole world back in time to the beginning of time and everyone dies. Ben Kingsley wants to do this for Lord knows what reason. No, I had to clarify this while looking on Wikipedia. He wanted

to take the, he wanted to take a trip back in time to a point at which he saved his brother's life. Yeah, he saved his brother's life and like he could become the king. I see when Ben Kingsley and the king were kids, he saved his brother's life and like he could become the king. Like, when Ben Kingsley and the king were kids, he saved his brother's life and his brother became king. I see. So he wants to undo that. So he'll be king. Yep. So instead, there's a lot of the big scheme. There's a lot of bright lights and explosions and for some reason, Michael G Foxes for some reason,

for some reason it takes. Jack, Jake, John Hall back to the beginning of the movie and he's learned his lesson and he reveals the traitor ben kingsley but only after two different fight scenes in which ben kingsley handily holds his own against jayk jill and hall the movie buys you to ask you believe that jayk jill and hall who through the home we has been fighting everybody and defeating that

now undefeated very well talks about how he's the great, very athletic, jumping from platform to platform, big muscles. Kind of dopey looking, though. Well, he's got a sad face. Yeah, and he's got Lanky like greasy hair, which everyone knows, and paid your ability to fight. All right. I just don't think it's hearts in it, you know?

The, but, but you're poor. That dried up, crusty, thin skeleton, even Kingsley. If J. Jill Hall was fighting big things from sexy beast, we might be able to believe that there's something about sexy beast or Bing Kingsley because of against Ray Winston who's a big fat pudge. Like I believe that you wouldn't say that to Ray Winston. I would not you would beat the shit out of me. But it's, but here it's hard. But you'd probably say that to Ben me. Yeah. But it's, but here it's hard to- But you'd probably say that to Ben Kingsley though.

You'd probably. I would, I wouldn't be afraid to tell Ben Kingsley to his face and he was a dried up skeleton of a man. Who could not take Jake's old home to fight? Yeah. You could even hold his own against Natasha Hensridge. Come on. Well, she was an alien.

That's true. She was a species. I like- What kind we don't know. I like it when people use the titles of movies to represent the main characters like sure when Natasha Hedges when you were playing species I like species until she started killing people that character is actually called the sill yes species like that nerdy kid on that show family matters yeah I love that family matters kid to Leo White who of course play family matters on TV

Family So in the end J. Chillin hollers lesson about something Going back in time and he falls in love again with Gemma Scatherman and They ride off into the dust and it is revealed that Some lives are linked through time. So one thing I need to say just off of the bat is that this movie is that you loved the movie. I bought it on Blue Raid before the film was over. I was on Amazon before the film was released in theaters.

It started popping some corn. This movie found an all-new way to end a movie on the, it was all just a dream thing. But the end of the movie is okay. Nothing actually that's all happened. Is there anything different between that and back to the future? I guess there is because the family is in totally different situation at the end of it. Well, I mean like back to this guy's master sword fight. Yeah for a round dog day Back to future just not literally undo everything that has happened in the film. How day kind of does Yeah, but that movie it's a great movie that movie's hilarious. That's true. It is It is only pretty funny

This movie is really gut busting Well, it is a I know this is a controversial statement to say but I don't think that Jake Jailin Hall takes us through the character change That Bill Murray does in Groundhog day. That is controversial, but we won't get into it right now I love after the climax sword battle between an old man and love uh... after the climactic sword battle between an old man and they uh... instead of a wish old man and instead of killing instead of killing the jim

instead of killing ben kingsley who has revealed himself as a trader there's an entire army that's loyal to jay jillinhall surrounding him he then jumps up with a dagger only to be stabbed death by the the other Prinskin. Yeah, so yeah, by the by the by the Prince who took control when the King Dice. Yeah, also they realize the only way they could stop this guy, this old man is killing him. When really you could just stop him by not listening to him. Yeah, you

could I don't know, step ten more feet away. He's tired of himself out. So they went by when he gets killed, he looks like he's having a heart attack anyway. Well, if you must use violence, just, you know, just pop them one in the stomach first, maybe before going into the stabbing. Just push them over. It'll break his hip. Oh, so, okay. So you would prefer a slow death. Yes, he was a bad guy. Come on. So on a scale from Pulse Pounding to... Okay, where's the other little thing that's following? From Pulse Pounding to Couldn't Catch My Breath, it was so exciting. Sure.

Where does this movie stand? Well, I think, you were here while I was watching the movie and I got distracted by the fact that I own a yardstick. Dan literally got up, saw that he had a yardstick, and then I went, oh, yardstick, huh? And so that's how this movie is less exciting than a piece of wood that is meant to measure three feet. And most likely has been in this apartment for some time. Yeah, I don't, it's not a new yardstick, is it?

Now the thing I was sad about, though, is, though is you know listeners you don't know this but Dan has this lovely couch okay but I could only appreciate the edge of it tonight because I was literally well done because you were literally getting up constantly out of boredom. Oh man this is a dull movie. You aren't sticking to it. Is it upside down yet? So we described a movie that has a lot of acrobatic stunts and ostrich race assassins with flying blades Alfred Molina Alfred Molina at his broadest a magic time traveling dagger and Ben Kingsley being an old man in a fight with Jake Jell and all and it is super dull. Yeah there's a lot of explanation. A lot of explanation.

There's a lot of, you like, I can't explain. You like things being explained and barely audible dialogue over loud music and things falling down. If you like, seepia tone CGI and this is the phone for you. Everything looks so, like, the fact that movies

of this type were made in the 30s that looked less fake and less artificial than this did. And also had beautiful cinematography. Yes, and look like this. And you like the sandstorm effects that look like somebody just smudge the negative a little bit. This is for you. I guess I guess I'm not an integer jump off. If anyone is considering renting Prince of Persia sands of time, why don't you just rent Thief of Baghdad? Just like go all the way and rent the Michael Corde of Thief of Baghdad and it's beautiful and there's a lot of fake Arabian

you know architecture and stuff. What is it? Arabian nights is that the other one? The same period? What's the 101 erotic nights? Yeah. That's probably it. Yeah. 101 erotic nights? Yeah, it's probably yeah 101 erotic donations. I mean, yeah, there will be less than a erotic donation or vibrator drive is doing great. There will be less cemetery fighting in it, but I guarantee you'll be more satisfied. It is a... It's a tagline, I think. This is a movie full of sword fighting that is boring.

Yeah. And it's the same thing you see in a lot of movies, which is just bad. The fight choreography you can't really see. It's not shot well. Everything's dimly lit. It's two guys in the middle of a bunch of people that seem to be running in a circle. Well, here's another thing. This is the director, Mike Noel, best known.

New well. Probably for, he directed for weddings in a funeral. He directed Donnie Brasco. Action, both good movies, not known for the action. Not known for the right. It's like how with the Bond movies, they make the mistake of hiring Michael Apptid to direct them when he is a brilliant documentarian

not the best action film. Well you don't understand is they're going to check in on James Bond every seven years. I wish they would actually that would be an amazing series. Yeah. I'd love to see a see movies here secret agent right at the beginning of his career. Seven years later when he is the top of the game. Seven years later when he's thinking about retiring. Seven years of that desk job, and then just as he gets older and older,

and like, and like, borrows his children with his tales of being a spy. Yeah. Much the same way that I wanted the third man. That's why I gram green. He's sort of, yeah. The same way I wanted the third season of Mad Men 2 jump forward to the 1970s,

when Don Draper is a fat middle aged man With a big mustache that I'm supposed to sleep with Yeah, people still want to say yeah, it was the 70s 70s. That's true. Some key parties going on some So I'm led to believe I don't know drugs. Yeah, I wasn't there Suburban malaise yeah yeah go back to shit don't do that shut it down this movie wasn't very good huh not it was pretty bland and sorry Stuart in the middle you were you were talking you were

scratching your belly at the same time which caused me to notice your shirt Which says flamingo fest 2002 special wedding edition. Yeah, I just want to point that out. Sorry. So you went to some sort of Cross dressing drag wedding event. No, I know somebody who did. Oh, okay That's a teaser audience that's a t-shirt teaser another store Wellington t-shirt teaser T-shirt tease from the house cat in House cat brought to my house cat industries So yeah, it's this is a it's a movie that is just like it just sits there Do and stuff while you lose interest

It's not bad enough to really wonder away. It's not bad enough to really... Well, we wander away. It's not bad enough to get... I liked this more than last airbender. I'll give it that. Yeah, I think that movie immediately comes to mind in the dark of the night when I'm alone. But they're both...

It's similar to the bottom. You remember the last airbender and you say no, not in this world. They're both like slow, boring fantasy fest that's been the whole time trying to tell me about why I should care about everything. Yeah, instead of making you care about it by being exciting and having good characters. Having stuff happen.

Like the most charismatic character in the whole thing is probably Alfred Molina's pet ostrich. Yeah. Who just shows up for like a couple minutes. There were, I mean the ostriches were the most exciting thing, yeah. Yeah. I was wondering if they're gonna peck somebody's face. Well, literally there's a scene where Jake Gyllenhaal, then ostrich starts and Jake Gyllenhaal

is standing right in the middle of the track and you're like, uh-oh, is he gonna have to outrun these ostriches? Nope. He just gets pulled aside and he's safe. It's really like, okay, you almost had something But forget about it. I don't watch that. I don't watch hour and a half of that Big Joe just being chased by an officer. You wish this should probably would have been better You wish this movie was just called Prince of Persia a day at the ostrich races

You wish it was called Gagged Chase by ostrich and it was on YouTube and it was an hour and a half Wouldn't make that happen though. I wouldn't let them think they let you upload that. I will say this movie, one of its triumphs is that it is less than two hours long. Mm-hmm. I could barely. Well, I mean, without credits, it's like an hour and 49 minutes. Okay.

They're sure they're tempted. That's the thing. They could have easily have released this as like a two hour 20 minute, you know, bloated crap fest that just sits there and they know they're gonna get a certain amount of money and that's it, you know. This is a Brockheimer film too. I gotta let me pull some out here from the Dutch Brockheimer family. Brock, Jerry Brockheimer was never actually a good producer, but back in the day he knew how to make movies that moved along and were entertaining in this stupidity and now it's just gotten so bloated and dull all of these things I feel like

He's probably too busy swimming in his money binge Pay attention to the movies he's putting down attention to the movies he's put now. You have him. He's the big cartoon duck. Swimming. No, pretty sure. Like a dolphin. Burring through like a gofer.

Yeah, he's passing it up and letting it headman on his head. Yeah, he's probably got these big old boys characters to worry about. I don't care how much you like money. Coins hitting you in the head does not feel good. Well, also that, you know, like you have to assume that that might have been in circulation for a while. Oh, sure. There's so much disease in that money. But I mean, ducks aren't.

It's so dirty animals. They're swimming with disease. Yeah. I mean, they're, you know, like they're feeding from the muck at the bottom of the palm. Well, you don't know is that the beagle boys were hired to steal that money by the sanitation department. Is the public health problem? Please.

Just get rid of it. We've been, we heard so many complaints of the stench and the germs Rats coming like that whole bottom layer of the money band is just rat bones Rat bones and just servants of Scrooge McDuck who have fallen in and been forgotten about We're pushed in imagine if I haven't seen gyro gear loose in months If I wanted to kill Scrooge McDuck What I would do is I would wait till he's swimming in the money bath in the money vault. Just dump more money on top of

them and just close the door. No one can hear his screams from outside. Then Donald and Harry Jackson. Yeah. And then yeah, Donald inherits the money. You're doing it, Louie, you're set for life. You got to bump them off. I mean, for a time, I mean, they'll probably spend all on crackers and stickers and shit. Well, the other thing is that you got to invest that money because the money itself is depreciating and value. Sure, it's as we speak.

Well, nothing. It's gold, though. Not the gold. I mean, it does have like a gold and rubies. And this is a kind of, he overpaid for those. Those are vintage gold coins. He paid way more than market value for those He's what he screwed me talk is just watching Glenn Beck seeing those commercials for gold companies

Sure, he's calling in to hedge against the apocalypse wasting his money. I mean, it's probably for the best that gyro gear loose would get buried in there Because he's always fucking making inventions that we're gonna kill him. Yeah, that were terrible. Yeah This has been a real expose on Duckburg. No, just on Sprood Creek Duck. Duckburg is a lovely town. I mean, New York's the greatest city in the world. It's still got criminals and crazy people in it. Yeah, at least Duckburg. I mean, like, criminals there are always,

they're wearing costume. They're where they wear their- They're dressed as criminals. They wear their operas and numbers on them. So you can tell. I'd be more unhappy about duck brooks ramp and anti-Semitism laws Jewish ducks not let's live in duckberg Certainly ducks of color not a lot to live there terrible Makes me sick. So

Prince of What else if there's sninds of smersha? We're not even words that sound like words. Those are just made up sounds That's that's become such a fall back for us is just changing the letters in a word slightly Yeah, glad other people enjoy that by which I mean you too We have me because I don't think the listeners do Yeah, we just have a club. We can just have a club that did that. We can stop doing the podcast and inflicting those and other people. We can just hang around changing the letters

and words. We probably take less time. We wouldn't have to watch the movie. Here's my paper bandwidth. Here my top-complet-well, you only do that. That's the- That's the pace for Popeyes. That's why they can use- And I would do that clever joke's the you know, it's a place for Popeyes. That's why they can do that. Yeah, I That pay for stuff You're a lot like you're kind of like the Cyclops Scrooge McDuck You'd be like the Wolverine Scrooge McDuck I don't understand why the screw-up label is meaningless.

Although it means Flop has to be on our time and he flops out Spain and wants to draw a picture of the Scrooge McDuck X-Men. Please go ahead and do so. Be aware that you probably will be sued by Disney and Marvel and Disney, which owns Marvel. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, the fact that Disney owns Marvel now opens the door to a lot of great crossovers like that. Sure. Wow. The Duckman. Let's just pitch that. Extox. Extox. Extox. That horse. And then this X could be something for news been all that a horse you know that horse is in the Mickey Mouse cartoons Yeah, I used to know is that his name?

Yeah horse the horse and there's Claire Bell the cow Claire Bell the cloud goofy the thing the dog creature Okay, Prince of Persia like Pete anyone. That's not an animal. He's a Pete. We got animals. He always a Pete That's not an animal. He's a peat. We got animals. He always a peat. Here's the problems with Prince of Persia. And I'll just list them. You're lame on the line. Uninspired plot. Okay. Characters don't come to life. To the color is to monotone. It's all this kind of sandy gold color. The same color that has destroyed the modern Western to a certain extent,

that they think everything has to look sepia and browns and golds. Confusingly shot, there's too much going on on the screen a lot of the time, and it doesn't look pretty. This is a bunch of dust clouds. You're dealing with kind of western stereotypes of ancient Persia, which is one of the most beautiful fictional time periods in history, is this kind of ancient Persia, which is one of the most beautiful fictional time periods in history, is this kind of ancient Persia near East Orient of like, you know, Harams and open air plazas and long flowing outfits and, you know, gold everywhere and cut out wood ornaments. Like, you see a lot of paintings

from the, like, turn of the 20th century that are fantasy visuals of this type of thing and they're gorgeous and this movie Just can't make those elements look good Expensive I guess it But it looks expensive. I mean the movie looks expensive as cheap at the same time. It's a ten-pole movie. This was supposed to be a big summer block, but Yeah, not enough ten-poles. That's the other thing. There's only one scene where they're in a tent. Yeah. Come on. They should be. They should be.

Most of that. They tell the legend of the sand people or whatever. Yeah. If only there was some sand. If only a Tuscan Raider showed up. Riding a Banthae. Yeah. Banthas. So how many times did I wish they would come over a dune and see Obi-Wan saving Luke and then go and starting Star Wars or like Boba Fett crawling out of the Star Black pit. Yeah Oh, man. Oh, that was a long nap. Have I got a headache? Yeah, I was a

Now I want to talk about the fat doll that says yeah, so when you put the button yeah Boba Fett on a date I don't want to talk about the fat doll that says, yeah, so when you put the button. Yeah, I was. Boba fat on a date. So, what do we do now guys? I think it's, I mean, this is uncharted territory. I think we've exhausted ourselves, not the movie, but ourselves. And we should probably just skip ahead to final judgements on this,

whether this was a good bad movie, a bad, bad, bad movie, or bad... BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN,

BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN,

BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN,

BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BOR too many scenes of just telling legends and other bullshit that I didn't care about. But I did like any scene where Ben Kingsley got to do physical stuff. Like when he climbed faster than Jake Gyllenhaal. He fought him with two swords at one time as a radical. Yeah. There should be more movies where old men outfight and out climb and out athletic young men. old men outfight and outclimb and out athletic young man. There were there were three things I liked about this movie.

Alfred Molina ostriches and occasionally the lead lady was a little cleavagee. And that's about all I can say very occasionally. Not frequently. That's the Alfred Molina is very much the Johnny Depp of this movie like he's supposed to be the- The hilarious. Yeah, just be the hilarious the whole yeah Just like like the the lovable rogue funny jacks barrel character But there's not a lot of him. He's really only in a couple scenes and he disappears for a long

You expect when they first meet him that he's gonna join up on their rag tag band for justice But then he disappears for a long time and he looks like Terry Jones from life of brown Yeah, he does as Dan put out he does seem And he looks like Terry Jones from Life of Brown. Yeah, he does, as Dan put out, he does seem like he's playing Terry Jones, playing like playing Brian's mother. Brian. And he runs in the same way. He runs like a man playing a fat middle aged woman. Is that how, I mean, maybe that's the way you have to run when you're wearing one of those robes. I guess so. I don't know We should we should do a test to a myth busters over here. Yeah, Dan get your middle your Arabian robe. Okay, let's see

We'll film that video and slap it up on the site. It's like they it was like okay, so I just summarized What's like I summarized the I summarized what my rating was? I think we both agreed that it was bad. It was a bad boring movie. It was not, we've seen worse movies, but it was almost more boring because it was not bad enough. Like it was just dull. I was going to say, I think this was the first tier of boringness. No.

Oh, I think I've seen more boring than this. Alfred, well, I definitely have. I've seen slow bullet for crying out loud. But Alfred Molina did look like he was running with a watermelon between his knees. Oh my God. Okay, Alfred, let's see if you can play this role always carrying a watermelon between your knees. I like to think that that he's in the prestige choice. Yeah, he was trying to, that's how he got into character.

Yeah. The backstory that he didn't, there's a lot of actors like to create backstory that they don't necessarily tell anyone. Oh really? And his backstory for this character was that he said, he'd stolen a watermelon he didn't does a lot of actors like to create backstory that they don't necessarily tell anyone and his backstory for this character was that he said stolen a watermelon and didn't want anyone to know about it. Well, when he was a little boy, he stole a watermelon and that saved him from the evil gypsies. So the only so that was his like lucky charm. Yeah, was this old now rotting People think he smells it's just the watermelon. Yeah, you can't tell them he wants to It's his crust a bear who is his crust to bear It's delicious crust on my bear bear crust cut the crust off my bear please

I like the crust Total nonsense this point okay, so I've got some lighters here from Listeners. Yeah, we love getting letters everybody should write us some, right Daniel? Right Stewart? Right, absolutely. Right Elliot, you bet you Elliot. You can write us at the FlophousePodcast at gmail.com. The longest. And conveniently, long. Anyway. Why don't we just get like, Flophouse at gmail?

I think it was, I think it was taken. I think that was the, I, this was not just my idiocy, I think there was a reason. No, I, you're not an idiot, come on. The FlophousePodcast of gmail. Not right as well. You know. I think there was a reason. No, I see not an idiot. Come on. The flop has podcasts of GMAT. Not bright as pop. You know, you're pretty funny. Oh, thanks guys.

This is from Justin. You had set and stuff up and stuff. Yeah. Oh, God. It's just another way of calling me the cyclops. You're the Leonardo. Come on, you're very important. So this is you allow the attention to be directed

on the charismatic members of the group i'm the luke's cowl occurs we're the mark walberg of the side of the low-butt you're the power droid you're the you're the guy in entourage who's not the famous actor and not turtle or johnny drama wait are you saying he's a droid? Yeah, you're E. Wait, he's the droid and Java's palace that gets turned upside down. Yeah, that's that's Dan. All right. Yeah. Your yak face. Well, weird that Java has a

torture chamber for droids. It's weird that the droid can feel pain in his feet. Who programs a robot to feel pain? Well, also, he said like the other droid, the torture or droid says that he disintegrated and that's not disintegrating no putting feet on his feet feet he I don't understand why you'd make put pain sent to his feet which is going to be on the ground the most most likely to touch painful objects and it's like all saying a little pebbles yeah it's good to know why would you build a robot that needs to wear shoes?

It's like that the garbage can robot that just says gunk and walks around. What does that do? What's the use? What's that's gunk? Because people get tired of sneaking up on them. A lot of here you go. Oh, it's just you gunk. Can you just say gunk? So anyway, let's Oh, it's just you gunk. Can you just say gunk? So anyway, let's, uh, droid humor. I love it. I could do a tight five minutes on Star Wars droids.

What's the deal with four-lom? OK. I introduced the idea of letters five minutes ago. So this one's from, uh, this one's from Justin last name with hell, and this says, big family. I'm writing because I've yet to hear any feedback on this year's Oscar nomination. Oh yeah, that's right. In previous years you've offered entertaining insight and general condemnation toward the

process. So I wondered what's different about this year's awards that would set it apart from years previous was that the nominations were all justly deserting films and there's a distinct paradigm shift within the film industry towards a selfless introspectrospective ceremony that isn't the self-aggrandizing and shallow spectacle that we've all become accustomed to, probably not. There's something about this year that sets out there's a part and that is the host Anne Hathaway. However, there was more disappointing side of favoritism in the realm of comedy criticism. I would like to know because I certainly cannot think of any.

Elliot was unafraid to tear apart the Oscars even when his own employer was hosting get this year they get a pass. Yeah what's over that? I understand the bonds of childhood friendship and loyalty run deep. Oh yeah. But the integrity of this podcast has always been based on movie criticism that digresses into titles and words that say that a little and I would hate to lose that. Yeah what's up with that Elliot? If anything. If anything. If you're not your best buddy.

This feels like a, I know you made a BFF, truce or whatever. Yeah, well we're blood brothers. OK. We should blood brother sisters. OK. I don't know. I feel I felt I didn't have any like real feelings

about the nominations this year. Yeah, I'm genuinely like not like I wouldn't say that I'm like, oh, this is great, but I'm also there's nothing that sets me this year. I don't like that Amy Adams was nominated for Best Burning Actress. I thought she did a bad job, but I didn't think she did a bad job like you did, but I didn't think she was like the greatest, but yeah. But in terms of like most of the nominees are really good. I was really glad that like John Hawks was nominated.

I was really glad that Wintersbone got recognized for a bunch of stuff. Like the almost all, I can't really think of any best picture nominees that I'm upset was nominated, except I feel the kids are all right. It was a major disappointment and I didn't like that movie that much. But yeah, that was like that was like it is basically that's a movie that's a disappointment just by being overhyped. That's the thing. It touches you know, it's like a solid Dramady, but it's not you know much like that two and a half star movie Yeah, but like I didn't like it, but it obviously touched accord with a lot of older people like people older than us Well, I think people in their

Well, that's thing like people in their like 50s and 60s or 40s I'm not saying things There was something about that movie that really rang true for people in 50s and 60s or 40s. I'm not in something that I'm saying that Kings be. There was something about that movie that really rang true for people in the last week. And it didn't for me because he's dead. He's not just old. He's over 100 years old, I think.

I just assumed people heard that it was a movie where Julian, Moore and Ant, and at Benning were lesbian, like part of a lesbian family and were like, that sounds hilarious and great. Well, that's the thing is, I would say it would be a better movie if it was really about that. There are lesbian family, but it's a movie about how lesbians occasionally fall in love and have sex with men, which I feel like is a fundamental misunderstanding of lesbian relationships for the most part. Well, I don't think that they were saying that they fell in love.

It was like a weird thing. It was a fling, but like the idea that like, I am devoted to my wife, I am a lesbian until Mark Ruffalo comes along. Hello. Well, obviously, obviously, yes, it would be better if it was it wasn't Mark Ruffalo. If it was Dan. Well, Ruffaloid It was Dan Well, I also know you're saying Dan wants to have sites with Julian Moore's No, I I think that I think that a lesbian feels kind of it's tight, right?

Yes, yeah, that's true very much so I think a lesbian filmmaker though should be allowed to make a movie about lesbians Where like part of the point is like the mutability of sexuality and like it doesn't really matter like I guess what I feel like that wasn't the message that the movie brought out I feel if the movie had made a had made a stronger point of that I would have been more okay with it but like a manual in space a manual on space is all about the mutability well made a great point which is that people in the future don't know what sex is and yet it powers their spaces Somehow a manual on space by the way on Netflix interesting watch which one I mean that was a series. I don't know anyway

Mo the movies are all compilations of episodes So who but for the most part for the most part this was a very good year for like solid Hollywood movies. Yeah. Stuff like the fighter and the King's speech like the true grit. True grit. Like these are I don't think this was the greatest year in movie history but those are all solid movies and they got recognized nominations. Toy Story 3 was really good. Black Swan I thought was great. Yeah, yeah.

And you have some directors turning out some some of their best work. Yeah. And the end people say like yeah, and you have some directors turning out some some of their best work. Yeah. And the end people say like, yeah, I think so. And people say like, well, you know, Christopher Nolan was nominated for inception, but like there were 10 best picture nominees and there's only five best directors slots. Like half of those directors are going to get snubbed, you know, and you needed to do you needed to have a lot of people named, there's at least two nominees for Best Director,

named David, right? Yeah. And I mean, he made a movie about Dream Crime. He should be, I'm sure he's content with the millions and millions of dollars he made. Yeah, I think that's right. Although he would have made more who was called Dream Crime.

Is that already copyrighted? You've registered that with the guild. I think when the Oscar ceremony takes place and it's shitty, then I think we'll have more to say about it. Oh, will we? So that episode is always cursed. That always has some sort of down problem. That's true to me.

So this is letter number two. This is from John Legendant with Elevant. It says it's titled Shoeless Elliott. So this is letter number two from John last name with hell and it says It's titled shoeless Elliott and it says what kind of candy-ass pink baby hamster feet does Elliott have that he got blisters from running Five minutes indoors without five minutes. I had to run through an entire airport as quint would say you got city feet mr. K. Also click away at word sound like each other.com. It's not a fan site, but it's something. This fan registered word sound like each other.com.

So now redirects to the flop house. Which is awesome. Yeah, it is awesome. But yeah, this is the shoe thing. Now this is something I didn't bring up. I didn't realize this caught fire I did I did not bring this up in the last episode Because unlike certain co-hosts. I don't like to say hurtful things to my friends

But I did wow was that directed towards steward or to me because we both say mean things about you Yeah, both of you But he was looking at me the whole time Right, but I'm feeling really self conscious already like he made me wait out in the cold before we taped Yeah, both of you. But he was looking at me the whole time, right? But I did. I'm feeling really self-conscious already. Like, he made me wait out in the cold before we taped. He didn't want me to sit on the whole part of his couch just the edge. That's why you only had to sit on the edge.

You didn't want me to sit on the full couch. I don't want his butt on my couch. You don't know where it's been. It's been a year. But now I did have the same thought in soothing mud, a saddle when you're telling the story of your wrong. Here's, here's what you should do. If you want to judge me, go to LaGuardia Airport and run through the whole fucking thing

with no shoes on. And I guess like a like a goof. They love to see people pass. I does a test. I ran from the security area to the farthest gate that that airline had. And he does not have the longest legs. I have no offense, my man. It's okay. We're cool, right? We're cool.

Okay, we're cool, yeah. Okay, because he doesn't have super long legs so that easily took out like what two hours I was I was running for probably about 15 20 minutes With no shoes on in a in a airport because the thing is probably sweating a lot, right? Yeah, okay Wait, I was ready. I had to take my shirt off. I was so sweaty now time My pants got caught on a nail so those guys are on a band when you're running You don't necessarily have a good I. I was running for 70 gallons. Did you look at your watch before, and did you look at your watch after it's good?

Right, because I was late for a plane. I had time to say to stopwatch. I handed, I finally heard somebody, and I said, run ahead. They run for 15 to 20 minutes. That's maybe, maybe it was like 10 minutes. I think it all goes back to the short legs thing, guys. Okay. I think I think it all goes back to the short legs thing guys. Okay. I

Think normal size legs. It takes it wouldn't it only take us like normal size. No offense. I said no offense. I'm not I'm legit no offense. She'll have like five five five six. No offense Fixes everything now. I forgot that's right. Yeah, it's like no takes these bags And I forgot the law of the law but yeah, oh and I'm sorry I'm just saying yeah, and someone gets you really mad and then they go hey calm down. Hey cool it or French No, it's the same thing right so I think that what we're saying I like French and somebody gets mad at you is we've entered you in the New York marathon. Okay, let's do this The New York marathon better be run shoeless and through an airport and then I'll be ready for it. Okay, so

Let me just say if that was a family circus cartoon Then the little dotted line of how far I ran. Yeah, I would have had to be continued through multiple Sunday pages And not me would be walking away with your shoes? Not me would be like, oh man this is too much, I gotta go and I don't know what have dropped dead and be up there with grandpa and heaven. So, we were talking today about at work about how we would cast the Family Circus movie. All I remember from it was Carianne Moss as the mom. And then a bunch of children with that horrible, a small head disease. Yeah, it was Robert DuVolves grandpa's ghost.

Okay. And I think Vern Troyer is not me. I'm so thinking about what do I want? I think we might have had Matt Damon as the dead. Ryan Gosling could work. Oh, like Vincent Gallo was the dead. That's crazy. It's crazy, man. But anyway, that's the family's biggest movie. So this letter says...

Fans of time. This letter says, hi. Hey. What am I? What am I a fellow AV club freelancers turned me on to the flop house about a year ago? Yes, and I became an instant addict two things One I'm often tempted just to skip the episodes featuring guest flopcasters Sorry, they don't just they just don't compare to the real McCoy

The real McCoy I'm the only one who's always here. Yeah, it's always real McCoy But uh, why doesn't listen to the episodes right? Yeah, so it doesn't know and number two I haven't heard the uh oh in a while. I know I dropped it for you number two I respectfully disagree with my colleague Steve Heisler about dance cartoon. I thought it was tops Yeah, I agree so this is the this is the redemption from the eight onion AV club that I've been waiting for which cartoon? The idea one of their freelancers. They when Dan's cartoon 90 and meeting was in the New York television club A.V. television club It was a much of a festival when he was a

television club When it was the New York television festival, I think the onion gave it a scene. Yeah, and that's at least an A- cartoon. They I mean the thing is it a good scene. Yeah, and that's at least an A-Cartoon. They, uh, I mean, the thing is, you know, they send out... They send out one person to see these things, you know, that doesn't hit with that one person, you know, like, that's the score for, for ever. Uh, and Steve Heisler did not like it, and it was shattering. Because I do, I love the Onion Avie Club in general. I think they're a great publication with some...

Yeah. ...trenching... ...uh... ...good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good in AV club in general. I think they're a great publication with some some trenchant good good political analysis usually because you were sitting in the back of a theater during the screening like laughing really loudly and liking cigarette butts and things. And they're great. It's great. You're loving this. But no, I mean this is this is the redemption that I needed from the young and like some some freelancer and a Non-full-time staff are telling me that they tear down the guy who liked your work. No, I appreciate it. I genuinely appreciate so my asshole thinks it's good I'm very excited. This was gonna be your red dead redemption. Now this is my red dead redemption and And I want to I want to fucking award for that at the new or TV festival in your face Steve Hyzen. Yeah, you won for one

cartoon. I won the animation so yeah So you you earned it dude. Why do you keep looking? It's your flamingo fest 2002 You have all your award Dan is on burn is on bridge burning mode right now It's the right if anyone from the AV club like I'm glad this podcast. Please do I'm glad we We have these kids are all right homosexuality things. You know how I know how Dan feels about others I'm glad that I'm glad that we have a pocket of support over the AV club

I didn't realize that there were... Yeah, that's... They're not overwhelming. ...passed between freelancers over there. Yeah, like a doobie in the SNL offices in the 70s. Like old, like old, uh, prank phone call tapes. Yeah. We need more media elites to sing our praises. Yeah. Has anyone ever submitted a cartoon to the New Yorker

where someone's setting fire to bow and Jeff Bridges? And he's saying something about burning a couple of bridges. Don't. How many of them truck in celebrity characters? Nobody steal that idea. This is my ticket for you. Whoa, whoa, whoa, push the top of the dagger and you can get your idea back. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right What did you call us do with the funny button the funny button? You just tickle the funny button and you go back in time. It's awesome

So now's the point where we quickly Do a few recommendations of movies that we actually enjoyed that were not Prince of Persia So do you have you have something that you enjoyed? that we actually enjoyed that were not Prince of Persia. Is there such a thing? Do you have something that you enjoyed? Last night I watched Catfish, which was a documentary, and I don't actually want to talk too much about it, but I felt that it was an interesting and I guess kind of telling portrait of how people kind of interact with each other through Facebook and what Facebook and social networking sites have kind of done to human interaction both by making it public and also by kind of alienating people from each other. So it's worth watching.

So it's worth watching. So all right, well on that note, I'll talk about I saw another documentary of this last year that got a lot of good Press and that was Slower and more drawn out. I was Joan Rivers piece of work which I enjoyed Speaking of the Oscars my main association with Joan Rivers has been her being a horrible person on the red carpet. And that was all I thought of her, and I was perfectly fine thinking of her as being terrible. And then I saw this documentary that humanized her. And it was very interesting. And it was an interesting portrait of a comedian who is still at work as someone who knows a lot of stand-up, but doesn't really do stand-up himself. It was interesting on that level too. And I liked a lot.

Netflix Washington. Speaking of John Revers, I'd like to thank the Wii Network for ruining a broadcast of the cutting edge, which I was watching with my wife with TV-sweeney. Every, with TV-sweeney. Every, this must have been for Valentine's Day. Every, no, it was before Valentine's Day. Every 10 seconds or so, a tiny animated Joan Rivers would pop up in the bottom of the screen to tell you her show was going to be on on Tuesday, which was three or four days after this aired.

And a tiny Melissa Rivers would then pull her off the screen. This happened constantly. So it was impossible not to be reminded of Joan Rivers' existence. Even while watching the cutting edge movie, she has nothing to do with. And I will recommend not a documentary, in fact the exact opposite.

But cutting edge. Cutting edge with you're doing it. Perhaps I'm going to recommend one of the most historically inaccurate movies I can recommend, but a very fun one called The Return of Frank James, which is the sequel to the movie Jesse James. Jesse James came out in the late 30s. Return of Frank James is from 1940, but it's in color, so don't worry. It looks, it's Fritz Lang's first color movie, and I think it's first Western as a director, and Henry Fonda returns as Frank

James to get revenge on the men who killed his brother Jesse James in the first movie. Don't have to watch the first movie. I like this one more than the first movie. Just skip Jesse James and go straight to the return of Frank James, which is this great fast-moving western that is totally inaccurate and also has a courtroom scene where every character gets up and talks about how great the South was in the Civil War and it is ridiculously incorrect. Everything this they're like and but the characters are so goofy that you that it's okay even for someone like me who's heart still burns with the union cause So he's saying that we're racists

Yeah, basically who's the racist one no no, I'm the non-racist Dan's the racist In the high-flow There types he has hopes for him. You're also the leader You're the horrible leader, but Henry Fonda in the return of Frank James, it's really good. So I don't need to see the first one. Don't go see Jesse James. Like the Matrix movies like that. So wait, do I? So do I need to see like the Rambo movies?

Do I need to see Jesse James meets a Brooklyn girl before this? That's your thinking of Bella goesey meets a Brooklyn girl. Oh, wait, Jesse James versus Frankenstein's daughter. Jesse James meets Frankenstein's daughter. You don't need to watch it though. Or Billy the Kid versus Dracula. Don't need to watch that either. In fact, never watch those because they're really boring.

But a robot monster though. Also boring. It's a good one. Don't watch that. It's got a watch, Bella Go. Don't watch that. Don't watch, Felicia. See me, it's me. Don't watch Rep to Silas. Don't watch the same man. Rep to Rack of Boo Boo.

Actually, watch Rep think of Boo Boo because it's crazy. And it has that, that Rack think of Boo Boo is the low-budget movie whose title was created by a typo. And has a long scene where someone is following a sexy woman while she's walking and you just keep seeing shots of her ass walking away from you and you start it goes from that's a hot woman. I like watching this too. I feel really weird watching this like I feel like a creep. All right. So Elliott's recommendation was the incredibly strange creatures. No,

living. That's not even the right rated as Tecler movie to watch. My recommendation is the return of Frank James. Okay, so guys, we had a good time despite watching Prince of Persia's Sans of Time. You know what? Because friendship can bring us through any, et cetera. It's the more. Even when friends are mean to each other,

say hurtful things. We can apologize and make up, because there's a friendship and a love there. Yeah. And we're going to sing a song of friendship after we get off. But right now, I'll sing the Flop House ending song if you want.

OK. Had some laughs, had some time, film for all, and then a rhyme. R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R- I'm flying around! Flop house, flop house, flop house! Tuna! Thanks everyone, I've been Dan McCoy. I've been steward Wellington. I unfortunately am still at Lake Caelan. Come out.

I'm sliding a settle in. Okay. Chill out. Chill out. Have a look. So, rum. Rum DMC. It's good stuff.

Keep it going. Did I imagine you should set a hilarity to awesome? Sure. Put that in your bag. Put that in your baguette.
