Starting point is 00:00:00 In this episode we discuss my soul to take by Master of Horror Wes Craven, but that's a typo which is as Mr. of Horror. Hey everyone, welcome to the flop house, I'm Dan McCoy, I'm Stuart Wellington, and I'm Elliot Kaylen. It sounds so weird tonight, doesn't it guys? Yeah, that's wrong with this episode? Yeah, if this sounds like we're recording in a spooky house. Or in outer space. Or using a shitty internal microphone.
Starting point is 00:00:55 So thanks, Sounder. Where's your imagination, Dan? I'm sorry. What kind of scenario is that? Maybe it's in my library. I like the van on outer space. I like the van on my local library. And we're going to fight some snorks.
Starting point is 00:01:06 That's not an outer space. Some snakes. I like the snorks. They're the guys with the things on there. Yeah, they're underwater. It's snorkeling. Nobody talk like the little bit of this. We introduced the idea that the episode sounded different
Starting point is 00:01:20 and then we didn't explain it. Well, explain it, Professor. So I thought I had solved all of our audio problems That we had improperly shielded cables and it would be fixed by getting what do you mean by problems? Well, I mean the fact that We tried to record an episode namely the beastly episode a couple of weeks about a month ago and we started picking up Radio signals that seemed to be sort of a a couple of weeks about a month ago. And we started picking up radio signals. It seemed to be sort of a hip hop and RB, maybe some radio
Starting point is 00:01:50 time. I thought we were just trying something different. Yeah, just experiment. Just trying to get in touch with an audience situation. If now would have been better if we had picked up radio signals like in the movie Contact, that told us how to build a space platform. That would have been better.
Starting point is 00:02:06 We would have been reunited with our father in an alien form. Well, my dad is still here. What was the movie where the guys like dad was sending radio signals back in time or frequency? Yeah, it would have be like that. So despite the unhelpful, maybe that reggae was from the past. Yeah point is we watched a whole movie tonight and after successfully recording the happiest millionaires are
Starting point is 00:02:35 thinking that all our problems were in the past. Yeah much like the happiest millionaire. We watched a movie tonight that after we're done I turned the machine on and low and behold more reggae reggae so more oregano orego old world style so I guess so while Dan was fiddling with this machine that we record on LA and I were making jokes we're talking about the movie yeah I was practicing our sweating in my, in my, on the air condition department, because I turned the air conditioner off because we were going to recording. Yeah, and we're now reading ice creams. Swearing at the machinery and rubbing ice cubes in our armpits.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Yeah. And doing it with girls. It seems it's partying. It was a pretty wild party above the table. You were under the table fixing this thing. Well, I didn't fix it. I mean, like, it was there. No nerds allowed, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:03:29 It appears to be the problem with things is not that I mean, we didn't fix it before. It seems that probably what happened was the radio station just wasn't broadcast. Yeah, in the middle of a, the pirate radio station, radio station, apparently, not broadcasting in the middle of the day on Saturday. I'm imagining like a, like a, a, a bootleg version of Christian Slater. Behind the, behind the home.
Starting point is 00:03:54 I think it's that station from those, what is it, beer commercials or liquor commercials that radio station? But the red stripe ones? Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe. So, I mean, if anyone knows anything about RF interference out there, please feel free to write at the flop house podcast.com Gmail.com. Or if you know anyone named, podcast at Gmail, you know anyone named RF interference, like Rodney Franklin, I know that would actually help help but Richard Farring to an
Starting point is 00:04:25 interference. I mean all I've been able to find is that maybe I could buy some fair right chokes to choke my ferrets with I assume. Sounds like something that Magneto would use. Yeah, apparently that would
Starting point is 00:04:37 maybe help. Why would you choke your ferret? I don't know. I don't know how that helps. I think they're made of ferrets and they choke. Radiant made of ferrets they're made of ferrets and they choke. Radiant. They're made of ferrets. They kill radio waves. Why didn't we just watch Beast Master then I guess? Yeah, it's not ferrets of the wazoo. Point is, right now we are
Starting point is 00:04:56 recording on the internal microphone of my MacBook because no wires means nothing to act as an antenna. Mm-hmm, science. Yeah, so that's what's happening. Chemistry. But if anyone wants to call to my house and fix this or donate, throw a bunch of money at the problem, maybe... Yeah, just throw a bunch of money at your computer right now. Let's see if that works.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Sure. Throw a handful of bills. Throw my wallet out. Whoa, wait. Was that a sound effect of your wallet? Like, was that a wild sound effect? I don't think the mic picked that one up. Okay. Yeah, Dan's not exactly the Michael Wednesday of this generation. Something in my actual computer. On the other hand, he's not the Carl Winslow's generation either, which is good. Yeah. Because he wouldn't have to deal with the Erkall of his generation. Which Erkall is that was that the late days one where he was like a super scientist or the same Erkall. I thought he was kind of different though. Same guy. Anyway guys we're hoping that you bear with us
Starting point is 00:05:56 through the audio issues. I know we don't say. And the long introduction. Beautiful as we normally do. Stuart in. Yeah, sonorous. Yeah boys We're not doing it just but hopefully I will sound less nasal and whiny Think that's going to happen Dan and I had a really big fight at the beginning of the recording the movie so we're still working out our issues so bear with us. And Elliot's kind of like a baby. I don't understand timing of baby. Let's just get asked you to change my diaper and feed me. Suddenly I'm a baby.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Yes, we're binky. But beyond that. So speaking of Elliot, I cried because my tooth was cutting through my gums. Suddenly I'm a baby. This is the part of the podcast that our long time listeners will remember is where Elliott tells us what actually happened in the movie. I'll try to do this. I sold to Terry.
Starting point is 00:06:53 The movie was called My Soul to Take, directed by Wesley Craven. And written by Wesley Craven. And written by Wesley Craven, Northby North West Craven. And the reason I was being a baby is because these guys were arguing during the movie and it was making it hard for me to pay attention to it. Why? Because what you was doing us, because what was going on with you was so much more dramatically interesting in your argument over the location of a bachelor party than this serial killer movie.
Starting point is 00:07:20 But I like how this music, this movie is filled with all these crazy musical cues that come up once every two minutes. So it was like, I think it made our argument even more exciting. Oh yeah, no, it was like your argument has soundtrack. So should I say what this movie was about? Oh, please do, because I still don't think I understand. Okay, it starts out, there's Raoul Asparza, who you may know as the star of the recent
Starting point is 00:07:44 revival of CDEB and Sonheim's company on Broadway. Perhaps you saw it on PBS's Great Performances. Sure. He has appeared in a number of Sonheim productions. I actually just saw him in Tom Stopper's Arcadia earlier this year. Anywho, Raoul Asparza is a- That's for your podcast, Son Dependent.
Starting point is 00:08:04 That's my broadcast, my Broadway podcast. Wow. How is getting you much earlier appearance than you? The house cat is a Broadway fan. Yeah, I think it was the Any Hue that brought him in. It's like a mating call for the house cat. Any Hue. So, Rowell, Rowell as far as a family man, he is painting a toy wooden rocking
Starting point is 00:08:29 horse and a toy dollhouse as dad's do as they do when they're craftsmen as his wife watches a new story about a serial killer in their town called the Ripper pregnant wife pregnant wife, yes, we know she's pregnant because in the first scene we see your belly and then a little miniature hand to push against the inside of it From the inside, yeah, just as they do listeners right in and tell us if that happens whether you can see the full Outline of your baby's hand pressing it's your stuff like your skin is like The latest of I don't know like a thousand count thread count sheet like a balloon, you know like pushing through the outside of, I don't know, like a thousand count thread count sheet. Like a balloon, you know, like pushing through the outside of a balloon. Mm hmm. So anyway, he has a pregnant wife.
Starting point is 00:09:12 It turned, he suddenly goes into a psychotic fit. This all takes about this whole section. I'm going to tell you, it takes about six minutes. It feels like it's, it's all super quick. It gives you whiplash. He has a psychotic fit and discovers that he is actually the ripper He has multiple personality disorder. He goes crazy and kills his calls a psychiatrist and then finds out that he has killed his wife
Starting point is 00:09:36 Uh, a policeman comes in and he attacks the policeman. He attacks an EMT worker played by our good friend Eric Zuckerman Eric Zuckerman who is a good friend of ours. And no, yeah. It would be a strange life. Since no one's heard of him. We know a guy named Eric Zuckerman. Perhaps you heard him, he played Doomsday Guy and War of the Worlds. This has been...
Starting point is 00:09:58 He played the guy on an air-drop. Name-drompers. He played the guy at the Pewter shop in the recent edition of the office. Edition of the office? Like the episode. Yeah, sure. I have a new edition of the office at home, signed by the office.
Starting point is 00:10:15 So he goes on a kill crazy rampage. He's subdued. They think he's dead. He jumps up again. He's subdued. They take him in an ambulance along with the policeman has been attacked and his knife. Eric Zuckerman is driving the ambulance. It turns out he is not sedated. The
Starting point is 00:10:32 killer, he attacks again and the ambulance explodes. And I think they're the biggest mistake. Plus, exits are friend from the movie. I think their biggest mistake was leaving the serial killer's knife on the serial killer's hand. I think it was like a bag to that for evidence. The biggest mistake was leaving the knife in his hand and allowing him to just lie on a gurney unrestrained. When he has already faked his own death and slashed at them minutes before. It's not even like this is something they forgot happened.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Yes. He played a good possum yes in the game yes in pogo the movie starring Raul as farza as the love of a pogo you learn about politics and stuff right Broadway's Bernadette Peters as Mamzal Heffs of all the ladies gunk. Who do you see for Albert? I think um oh like can I remember his name you know from Adelaire Sanders show and uh arrested development. I think Jeffrey Tambor is Albert the alligator. Oh yeah. It's a must. And maybe Harlem Williams as uh the turtle churchy LaFam. I don't know. Harlem Williams is pretty busy now. That's true. We can get into schedule perhaps. Maybe you get Zach Galafanakis for Porquie. A perfect, perfect casting. Porquie the Porquie Pine. I'm so much more interested in this movie.
Starting point is 00:11:56 This could be a good Pogo movie and we'll get Zack Snyder to direct it. Of course. And Joe Estherhouse. Yeah, he's a big college guy. And Joe Estherhouse. Right. I mean, call God, you're ruining it. A lot of sex. A lot of sex and murder. One of my favorite things in the world, you're ruining it.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Awesome. Where's the schoolgirl outfit? Music, bio-angelo, bad lament. Okay. Well, it's getting better, you know. But it's mostly covers. It's inappropriate. Mostly covers of songs.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Oh, yeah. Well. And one original song, bio-tricia year wood. It's the cover of the song. Well, and one original song by Trisha Yearwood. Anyhoo. So we, it's suddenly 16 years later. And there's a bunch of flash forward 16 years. There are seven kids in this town who are all born prematurely on the night the ripper died.
Starting point is 00:12:44 And they have this kind of hazing ritual where someone dresses up like the ripper and then one of the kids has to fight him. The Riverton Ripper? The Riverton Ripper, yes. The very same. The very same Riverton Ripper. The kid in this case is a kid named Bug,
Starting point is 00:13:02 who is a shy guy, but he sees the world in kind of an off-beat way. He's named after the William Friedkin film. Yes, the hit William Friedkin film Bug based on the play of the same name. And he's kind of a like sheetier version of Brewster McCloud and that he's a shy guy with no friends who makes me costume with giant wings. Any who again to make a very long story short, there are a bunch of other kids at the school. They start being...
Starting point is 00:13:29 But not for long. But not for long. They start being killed one by one. And it turns out that his sister, who a fang, who runs the kind of mean girl's click that runs the school, is the daughter of the serial killer. He, bug, is the daughter of the serial killer. He bugged is the son of the serial killer. He was the baby inside the pregnant woman's belly. And even though she died, the fetus was still alive and they were able to pull him out, like McDuff in Macbeth.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Ripped untimely from his mother's womb. And some one of their friends, it seems that the soul of the ripper has entered one of their friends and is killing everybody, or the ripper is still alive and is back. Either is equally plausible. Or it could be bug. He's the son of a serial killer and kind of crazy. So am I alone in the first 30 minutes, the movie assumes that we know all these characters and have known them for quite a while?
Starting point is 00:14:22 Yeah, the movie seems to think that it is the sequel to the movie so already. Or like, or like we watch an entire season of this shitty high school drama and then all of something like, yeah, we're just gonna wrap it up by killing everybody. Yeah, although to be fair, you guys did argue a lot during the scenes where they're introducing these characters. But there was definitely like an assumption. I don't want to, by the way, I don't worry the flop house audience. Stewart and I made up a kind of, okay, well, I mean, Stewart, I don't worry the flop house audience Stuart and I made up a kind of okay, well, I mean like
Starting point is 00:14:47 There will always be scars. I can tell the Stuart still irritated with me like deep down But at the same time I can tell it's gonna be okay, so I mean this isn't like a lot of the flop house right on daddy other daddy. Why are you fighting? Are you gonna get a divorce? Because of me no, it's because I'm the cool dad. Okay. He's the Paul Reiser dad. Yes. Yeah. Tough but fair. And we fight sometimes. It's the way it works. So I'm the daughter in my two dads. You're the daughter from the Q daughter. She's out of this world. Oh, that's awesome. So I can stop time and go turn what? What else could you do? She got to pick one more power
Starting point is 00:15:25 But she did not pick any of them because they were all double-edged swords Well, I'll pick one of them. By the way, this should be the new Fluffhouse contest is that Listeners should write in about what they imagined we were fighting about Yeah, that's a good idea. I would like I would enjoy that much more than thinking about our actual flight But anyway, it's still up. So I Even mind this is the day that the nude photos of Scarlett Johansson were leaked on the internet so So maybe that's what they were arguing about it wasn't but let your imagination soar. Yeah with the Anyway, we can say that for your purve cast.
Starting point is 00:16:08 We've already established in previous podcasts that Dan is a purve who women are discussed in fact. This might as mild mannered exterior. Inside beats the heart of a rapist. Whoa, whoa, you went way further than that. What you got it from in, it was a surgery transplant. Oh, okay. Unfortunately, we received the heart of a rapist
Starting point is 00:16:24 in the transplant. It's like the movie received the heart of a rapist in transplants Yeah, exactly what Wait a minute baboo. So it's like untamed heart meets body parts. Yes Well, the thing was it wasn't a baboon's heart of a baboon that was rapist It was someone who raped baboons. Yeah, so he wait So the baboon wanted to take it out of it. it was an organ donor, would you have to admire? Yeah, wait the bad Boon was an or no the guy. Oh, okay. Yeah, it wasn't all bad You cared about passing
Starting point is 00:16:57 We've oh yeah, that's why Dan is purfed to this day to this day. Anyway, the point was, the point was though, there was not enough character development laid down early on to make us care about these people dying. They sketched them out in very broad strokes and I kind of hoped. I think they kind of hoped that our knowledge of high school like archetype characters would get us through this. Like, oh, that's the popular girl and that's the religious girl and that's the nerdy guy and that's the bully. That's the girl named Fang. And that's the real head Fang. That's cool, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:30 They usually weren't the ones on the top of the heap. Usually Fangs on the bottom, but I think they overestimated how much we would give a shit about these characters. Yeah. Because when they start dying and they start dying, it's like suddenly in a big clump, a bunch of them are just killed one after the other. And it's not that you never get a sense of like, who's it going to be next? Like, uh-oh, who's going to be killed? Because suddenly they're all dead and there's just a couple left and then it's the end of the movie. But it feels very long.
Starting point is 00:18:00 And you feel empty inside. And after what do you feel empty inside? I mean, I don't I ate like a whole box of Popeyes before and I feel pretty full You that burger, you know man, and you have an evil heart inside you Yeah, I can never feel empty inside because I'm fooled anger But eventually shiver just talk about the end of the movie Eventually it turns out that one of the characters you thought it was eventually it turns out that uh one of the characters you thought it was uh the the main character's creepy best friend who keeps appearing and disappearing like a ghost. Most obvious suspect actually has. I up until 10 minutes before the end of the movie still assumed was just like another person out like an imaginary friend of the main character. It turns out the souls of the
Starting point is 00:18:40 people who died that day have kind of jumped into jumped into the babies born and the ripper jumped into his soul. And for some reason, I guess waited 16 years to take over and start killing people. Yeah. And they fight and the good guy kills the bad guy and the end. It's barely a fight. Like when he finally confronts, when his friend finally confronts him, they like argue for a minute and then he stabs it. It's one of those fights you see in movies a lot where the bad guy decides to attack belly first and the good guy happens to be holding a knife in his hand and it goes into said belly. Well that's what makes him a hero is that he holds a knife the right direction. Yeah. Well it's like all the villains decided to use their sumo training at that moment.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Yeah it's like the end of a never ending story when that monster thing jumps out of a tray or he stabs. Now the end of never ending story is when Falcore rides into the real world and scares the bullies. Wait, that actually happened. I thought that was all just a journey. No, it was a movie. It didn't actually have it. It's not a documentary. The kid punches the air.
Starting point is 00:19:38 He's like, yeah, take that air when that one bashing's riding on him. Yeah. So it's a pretty, it's a very generic movie. that one bashing riding on him. Yeah. So it's a pretty, it's a very generic movie and it's also never really explained how the ripper who we see as this big hulking kind of rob zombie-esque character, how that and this wimpy little kid are the same guy. Well, the Ruge is almost like a dreamlike quality. I couldn't even say without laughing.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Good. I mean, the premise of this film opens up to a lot of questions. And one that I brought up during the movie was like, early in the film, I'm like, okay, I'm willing to accept this demonic sort of killer character can jump from person to person. Like he can have it like in the movie ascension. Yeah, we're all falling. Yeah. That's what I meant falling, not ascension.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Is the exact opposite. Ha ha ha. But then like the good characters, like I mean, I'm not good, like the kids like. They're no good characters. They're all pretty bland. Like they all start assembling. Their soul start assembling within our main character.
Starting point is 00:20:40 And I'm like, so this is what happens to everyone when they die. Like souls jump into other people. I would like to more if each time you got a new soul, he gained some like abilities than that person had. Like, yeah. Yeah. Some like knowledge.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I mean, the last soul he absorbs is of a blind kids that really wouldn't help in that. I mean, he's got increased hearing ability. He's a man. Yeah, you're right. He does have increased senses and stick abilities. Stick ability. I mean, that is basically there is basically Daredevil. He has better senses than he can use a stick.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Yeah. That's what blind people are like. Yeah, we discovered that. But yeah, they the it's a movie that kind of makes up the rules as it goes along. It almost feels like a movie where they didn't know who the killer was going to be doing. The only rule is there are no rules. Yeah, that makes for bad movies. That makes for movies like soccer punch. Yeah. So it's it's said that this is like a West Craven movie. Like I don't love West Craven. I've never really I never thought of him as one of the great filmmakers, but like it seems like he he's done much better than this before. It feels beneath him. We were all able to mention like a Wes Craven movie that we like. Yeah. You know, uh, Stewart is a fan of the people under the stairs. Yeah, it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:21:58 I think that he, he's going a little far. I think the original scream is good. I like new nightmare. I also like new nightmare. I mean, yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. But people are in the stairs. It's about what a cracker Jack picture. Well, why didn't they make people under the stairs too above the stairs? That's going to have to be a movie in your mind, Elliot. I mean, a book on tape. Yeah, they're going to an novelization of the sequel to they didn't even make the movie. I mean they could make it though like it's they're still time. That's like years ago they came out with a book of Blade Runner 2. You guys remember that? Did they call Blade Runner 2? Yes, it was a hard cover book that's written big letters in the cover Blade Runner 2. Oh nice. Was it made in America or was it like the
Starting point is 00:22:43 like the Italian zombie movies where they it was an authorized sequel to Blade Runner? Okay, it was written by Alan Dean Foster. I don't think so, but he does write that kind of stuff a lot He seems to live off of Transformers novels these days Which by which I mean he eats them He's a bibliophore Yes, he's a bibliophore. So a lot of talk about this movie. It is very, this is a really generic movie. For the first 10 minutes, I thought the entire movie was just
Starting point is 00:23:15 going to be like two or like maybe a minute, maybe a minute and a half of stuff happening. And then somebody else waking up from a dream. Like, there's a lot of that. Somebody else just woke up. There's a lot of characters just else waking up from a dream. Like flash. There's a lot of that. Somebody else just woke up. There's a lot of characters just suddenly waking up from dreams and you start to wonder like,
Starting point is 00:23:30 is this like a stealth Freddie movie? Like is this gonna be a movie about a dream killer? But no, it's not. I mean, they do inject a fair amount of Freddie into this river care. Well, the river, it's weird because he starts up being really silent when he's killing people in the present But then eventually he starts going like hey, we're bitch, you know, it's stuff like that, you know, Freddie
Starting point is 00:23:53 And it struck me as I realized how weird it is that Freddie's catchphrase was basically just calling people bitch The same way it's very caddy the same way that the memorable line from the Jason movies is hey asshole They really weren't working very hard I mean there is a memorable scene in this movie where there is the main character has done a presentation of the California condor oh, yeah, and then His friend Alex his friend who turns out to be the ripper is wearing a giant Terry Gileamest horrifying condor suit which uses to terrify the bully and then it sprays like this evil smelling vomit
Starting point is 00:24:32 like violent vomit all over much like condor's rally do but bug is it like made this costume that day but that also leads to like the weird like wacky end credits to the movie where there's an animated condor and all this stuff. Wearing a vest. Yeah, is this a pink Panther film? I don't understand. There's a very grim movie and then all of a sudden like everything's okay in here.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Is it cartoon condor? There are moments in the high school scenes where it feels like Wes Craven's trying to be very upbeat and kind of like... And the hardcore... Yeah, Heather's the like dark comedy-ish, but they don't mesh with the horror scenes. I mean, all the scenes are pretty dull, but some of them seem to be like an exaggerated high school movie, whereas others are just kind of wrote by the numbers horror stuff. And it's tough to do like a goofy high school stuff and then also try and pair it with like kind of heavy crappy
Starting point is 00:25:26 metaphysical like soul-based horror stuff. Yeah, I mean it wasn't horror but kind of d'Arni d'Arco achieves that to a certain extent kind of like joke high school scenes but then also kind of like over-the-top heavy science fiction stuff. But if d'Arco was successful it was because it seems at least somewhat patient. Yeah. It does that stuff. This movie is trying to blast through its run times quickly. It does feel like there are moments where it's like, yeah, yeah, soul's moved from body
Starting point is 00:25:56 to body. Anyway, let's go killer. And the weird thing about this, I mean, I commented it a lot at the time, like there's a scene at the end where it's almost like a Colombo episode where the guy's laying out like, oh, okay, well, you had time, like, he's like, you're the killer because you had time to go over here and over here. And like, your ear is bleeding and I hit you in the ear before. He says, your ear, there's blood on your ear almost as if you were hitting the head with
Starting point is 00:26:22 a vase. And it flashes back to him hitting the killer in the head with a vase. It's like, well, there are many number of reasons someone's ears can bleed. I mean, it does look like a vase wound. It's got those tel-tell vase shards. There's a rose thorn in your ear. The funniest thing about it, though, is they take a really long time him explaining to his friend why his friend could be the killer and guess what?
Starting point is 00:26:46 His friend turns out to be the killer. Yeah, it's not like That's all disproved or like it's all red herring. No, it's just a really long way to find out that this guy Or even as if his friend was multiple personality and didn't know he was the killer like He's really gonna do that. Yeah, I mean, like, and that's West Craven, like, flashing back to scream. He's like, let me graft the end of scream onto this, more like exorcist, like, soul-based kind of, horrible, like a different genre of horror movie, like now is getting this like Scooby-Doo ending, where it's like, you were
Starting point is 00:27:23 the killer all along. Reminds me of the ending of the- John Knotz, man. That's right! I did it! I killed him all again! I love to feel the warmth of blood as it flows over my hands. It's the only thrill I have. Oh, maybe- Anyway, these following the long way after the Apple Dumplins.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Yeah, that's the heavily, but they reminded me of the ending of the movie identity with John Q's act where you learn the whole thing is happening inside of one person's head and all the characters. Yeah, John Q's act's head, right? No, John Q's acts one of the personalities inside of a bald prisoner. What are you talking about? Oh, boy. Let me just.
Starting point is 00:28:02 But isn't there like a little kid murdering all these people inside Q say it's not inside John Q say it's inside a prisoner's head. Okay. That big guy from movie heavy with the wacky. Oh John heavy. Yeah sure. But he is there's a part where John Q say is like of course and they show the kid who's the murderous personality. They show him literally like how he accomplished each of the murders and it's like, you know how to fucking show us this? It's not real. It happened inside of a crazy person's head. Like, you don't need logic here. It's like, you know, like this is how a little kid could actually murder a full-grown man. Yeah, of course, while we were looking the way he crept over here. No,
Starting point is 00:28:39 it's not real. Like, it doesn't have some fun. Like, I'm saying, Saik LePedia Brown, I need to fucking find out this one. Because I was racking my brain with the brain teaser of how this kid jumped out of a window and chop the guys hat off. Turns out it's because none of them are real. Turns out it's crazy. Turns out I wasted my entire time, my entire afternoon watching movies. Very few movies that I wish, I was so glad that one that I sought for free. Is that why I mean the thing is like as just like, I like a sheer like exercise and
Starting point is 00:29:06 like, okay, like moment to moment, we were making it like, oh, I'm enjoying this, but then at the end I was like, this is fucking Richard. What identity or this is this does not mean from beginning to end that was stupid. Uh, yeah, I'd rather watch my soul to take. Then identity, I don't know if I go that far, because identity is crazy. Okay. But my soul, so that's my recommendation for tonight. There's identity.
Starting point is 00:29:29 No, and it's not. But there's a ripper character at this one that I like that sounds a little bit like Freddy. He does occasionally, but he never becomes his own character. That's the thing. No, he looks like Rob Zombie. He looks like Rob Zombie. He just kind of talks like this.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Obviously, in an attempt to vilify Rob Zombie. When Rob Zombie's doing that himself, just fine. Actually, no, he's not. He seems like a pleasant enough fellow. In his, in the movies, he hosts for Turner Classic movies every now and then. He seems very, you know, very keen on putting his wife sharing with Zombie on display and each of his films.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Yeah, I mean, I don't. Yeah, it's for our cast material. Yeah, I mean, I don't wish for him, cast material. No, I'm just saying he's a sharing fellow. I cannot mention it. He's a friend of a learned. It's like you have it. It's like your brain is a nudity-seeking missile. Like what?
Starting point is 00:30:16 It's like you can't go 10 seconds without thinking of a way to turn it to a boob. Do they have those? Do they have any nudity-seeking missiles? They don't. How much do they cost? Can I guess seven? Do they just,? Do they have any new teaching missiles? They don't. How much do they cost? Can I get seven? Do they just, when they detonate, do they just create a wind effect, like the end of screw balls,
Starting point is 00:30:30 blowing all the top of the window? Yeah, just blowing clothes off. But it seeks nudity, so it's not like it's, it's not looking for clothes women. Well, maybe so that the clothes women near the nude women get their tops blown off too. Oh, okay. So like the, like, where are they hanging out? They're these nude women with closed women hanging around? I don't know. Like at a school assembly or like why are there new women at a school assembly?
Starting point is 00:30:50 We have nude women, closed women mixers. They're like, see how they other half like a top football match. Uh-huh. Play in the mud. Like hot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Like the movie Hots, which stands for hot Hots. I guess, right? Like what is that? It's got initials what's it stand for the movies HOTS I bet you I bet you some I bet you some listener of this podcast knows what hot sounds spelled stands for right in right in because we're too lazy to Google I'm not going to talk about it at parties what parties are we we at? The people are even at this. I'm on all kinds of fucking parties, dude. You're at Hot's parties?
Starting point is 00:31:27 Well, we talk about Hot sometimes. I'm not going to let you in on the... Don't allow things contemporary, poetry, politics, hots. These are sophisticated parties. Three major topics. Yeah, I mean, I'd call them the pillars. Just me and David Remnik and Lionel Trilling talking about parts.
Starting point is 00:31:47 There it is. Yeah, come on. Oh, so my soul, my soul to tell you the rotating name. It does terrible title. Hard to remember. It was released in 3D originally, but not filmed in 3D and you can tell. That's a good sign. It was the lowest grossing 3D film at the time.
Starting point is 00:32:03 At the time, I read and Wikipedia that was replaced by Oliver's travels. The movie where the ad for it shows Jack Black saying it hurts my butt. Well, look at the world. The original Jonathan Swift. You can't. A lot of Oliver's travels the book is about his butt getting hurt by big guys, little guys,
Starting point is 00:32:28 horse people. They just love to hurt his butt. It's much like there's a scene early. I mean, there's a lot of scenes in Don Coyote that are the book that are basically just slap stick. But remember reading it and there's a scene that be anywhere. Don Coyote mixes up what he says is medicine, but it's just garbage. And he makes he drinks it to make central pants of drinking and they's just garbage. And he makes, he drinks it, he makes central pans of drink it,
Starting point is 00:32:45 and they're just pooping and throwing up all over the place. And it's unreadient, and I'm like, wait a minute, what? Like seriously, this is what's going on. It's like dumb and dumb, we're over here. Okay. So let's, let's put this to bed. Let's talk about our final judgments on this film. Final judgments. Final judgments. Boy, those are judgments.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Is this a good bad movie, a bad bad movie, a movie, actually kind of like Stuart Goat? Well, like the Riverton Ripper, I believe that the movie My Soul to take stings. Wait, why would that? Are you saying you think the Riverton I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I think I think I'm saying I think I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I think I think I think I think I think I'm saying I think I'm saying I think I think I think I think I'm saying I think I think I think I'm saying I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I think I It's not he's not the the original guy who's just lived in the woods. No, he's sold jumped into a kid's body Okay, I don't know if I can give a judgment. I don't I didn't really pay the Well then all of your judgments Yeah, because usually you're the fine tooth comb you're going over these films often stores like let's rewind that scene I think there's some nuances that we missed
Starting point is 00:34:02 I think on second viewing on my bill on cover I have to look it over. I'm going to say. About you, Danielson. Well, I'll give it points for employing our good friend, Eric Zuckerman. You know, casting agents in Los Angeles. Please keep an eye out for him. He's a great young talent.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Otherwise, I care for this film. I found it difficult to follow and unpleasant. So, Ellie, what do you have to say? Maybe my top 10 of the decade. I think it goes Zodiac Toy Story 3. My soul to take. Wow. Nope, it was a bad, bad movie.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Okay. I really love the two movies. I think it bad movie. I really like that part where the where the where the ripper cut the christian girls throat and a shitload of CGI. Did I love that part? No, you were saying it was really real. No, yeah, there's a lot of CGI blood in the throat cutting scenes. I believe I said it was the worst CGI blood since as Adoichi.
Starting point is 00:35:04 And there was no dancing, although the end credits were pretty close. Yeah, that's close to the dancing in Zatoichi, except Zatoichi dancing was awesome. So, but I'm not a fan of CGI blood. There doesn't have to be so much fake blood in a scene. Just a little bit of like caro syrup is better than like torrents of computer blood. Yeah, so a lot of investors alone. Yeah, take that slide and semester the cat. You know what I'm talking about. Okay. Now that Stewart is back from wandering off and to get you into some water. I don't know why you're narrowing. They
Starting point is 00:35:40 didn't notice the audience didn't know he got up and came back. Well, I kept I kept acting as if I was about to say something And then I felt like I needed to finish that thought they can't see that you're doing that well they get here No, the case is not a video cast I want to take care of some business first. Yeah, I want to say first off donation thanks to Kelly H Want to say first of a donation thanks to Kelly H Thank you. Thanks Kelly. Donate the podcast. I just want to say I got an email today about the seventh annual podcast awards Did we win? No, no, but we lost the nominating period will open

November 15th process up on the 15th We will have some sort of a link up on the site if you wish to nominate the flop house in all qualifying categories for your favorite podcast What I say getting my on is probably like best podcast, sexiest podcast.
Starting point is 00:36:47 That's the thing ever in the world. Funniest podcast, handsome is podcast host, Ellie Kaelin, handsome is podcast host Stuart Wellington, funniest podcast, he said that. Cool list podcast. I can't help but think that I've been snubbed. You know, Dr. I was just one episode.
Starting point is 00:37:06 What we even taught oh yeah, I was had a kill script picked up. Yeah, Barry him in his money fit. No one can hear him. Discover him with clients everyone assumes he'd round and it was an accident. Yep. And that number one time is all by I'm beginning that Stuart is magic and dispel or Flint Glongold. I know him well enough that I just call him Flint.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Okay. Our man Flint. He's a duck. Okay. Anyway, our duck Flint. So some emails, some electronic mails. Okay. Male from the electrons.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Dear Flop House, I'm very tiny being an electron, but I really enjoy listening to your podcast. I don't have ears, but I do have a negative charge. Anyway, sign E electron. Signed AE electron. How do I get a girlfriend? I didn't know it was for a romance podcast. This is a pro tip for you, Electro. By a girl some flowers. They love that. That's a pro tip. The pro tip. From the pros. I guess boyfriend, professional boyfriend. Because that's a jiggle though. Yeah, I mean, I may I'd be up for it. We'll assign the contract later. So this email is titled Emilio Molestevez and it says,
Starting point is 00:38:35 Hi gang, just wanted to say thanks to Elliot from his enlightened and insightful critique of Sucker Punch's women problems. Eight. No problem. I was just in heartened to read a lot of fanboy reactions to sucker punch that painted it as some sort of triumph for female driven action films and not the degrading spank-bank material it really is. Obviously, I turned to the flop house for all my feminist film criticism.
Starting point is 00:38:56 With Pervome McCoy over here? That episode really hit it out of the park, especially since you also analyzed the switch or runny poster. Also Dan, please don't listen to the bread clown, a full hour of flop houses. Perfect. Stuart, just keep doing what you're doing buddy. Ashley, last name without... Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Now, I mean, I want objection to this. What's that? And that is I feel that Stuart, you and I, I feel like you and I also joined in on the Fimniss critique of the soccer pond. Have we had this conversation before? But we had it over email. Oh, okay, that's why. I was like you and I also joined in on the feminist critique of We had this conversation before but we had over email. Oh, okay. That's why I was like But Elliott you you get all the credit for some I made the strongest argument and I believed it the most and I'm not a total Purvisoid and I was just making fart sounds probably yeah, but funny Let's be honest, you are a total pervazoid.
Starting point is 00:39:46 I keep my total pervazoidness hidden behind my countenance. I don't talk about it in public. It's a private thing between me and my computer and my penis. Maybe I'm a more honest person. Nope. More honest and open and I should be valued for that. We all wear a mask, some are silk and some are leather and yours you don't wear which you should because because you're so as hideous. How's that work out for you Dan?
Starting point is 00:40:10 I think that people have responded to it well in general. I'm a maize you're not in jail. I will say there was a there was an article on the AV club today about soccer punch that made the interesting point that Zack Snyder thought he was making a movie decrying the objectification of women and I think he failed. Yeah, no, I can't. It was a good opposite day, apparently. It was an interesting article because I could sort of see. I can see our point of what he was trying to say, but like even if he legitimately was trying to say he did it wrong. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:46 And it came off as spank bank material. Yeah. But not like one of those good spank banks that you can trust. Yeah. Like a spank bank run by a drug boss. Sure. One of those spank banks that needed to be, you know, like bailed out during this spank bank.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Yeah, with taxpayer sperm. And then look at them. They're giving each other bonuses. Meanwhile, we're paying higher taxes in sperm. I tried to find a way to link bonus to bonus. I can see you look at your face as you immediately latched onto the word bonus. I mean, get enough to get enough to you guys. So see, I've I've harnessed my got a word. I've heard it harnessed my, uh, perversion for the greater good.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Is what I'm saying. Okay. Well, this is this, well, thank you, Ashley, last name with. Thank you very much. Very nice. This, uh, appreciated it. Message is titled twin-sitters premium. Does that the membership level of the
Starting point is 00:41:42 considers? Or is that like You get extra content when you get wow then why are we not members? This says firstly, I just wanted to say congrats on getting in on the AV club and your first live event Sadly, I was unable to attend because I live in Mississippi which is both geographically and culturally a long way from New York. May I put it up to you? Hey, come on. There's a lot of great places in this country.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Let's not put them down. Sure. See? Run Brawins, sir. Oh, yeah, Governor of Mississippi. May I put out the suggestion that you guys recorded some sort of running commentary on Twin Centres, Aula Rift Tracks, and put it up on iTunes as a premium episode. The money you make off the downloads can go towards helping Dan pay for the site or
Starting point is 00:42:28 more beer and pop eyes. Either way, I've been a fan for a long time and it would be nice to at least get part of it with a live audience, got to enjoy PS. A few episodes ago, you started a contest with no prize that was quickly forgotten about. Sounds like one of our cuttests. That said, I thought I'd throw it. Just finding that out is solving it that said i thought i'd throw my suggestion out before the contest ruin our beats me to it you asked for the flop house house cat
Starting point is 00:42:54 would look like i've always pictured him to be like the captain the insane japanese cult film house it's white fluffy has glowing eyes and is possessed by demon it's perfect and it's from shan last name with hell. Well, thank you, Sean. Sorry, you couldn't make it to the twincitors event. It was amazing. It was pretty great.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Stuart called a guy by his wrong name. And we embarrassed our wives and fiance. I mean, like that, that, that is a good idea. There are two problems with it. Number one, it would require watching twin citters again. Yeah. And number two, so you're saying it would be too pleasurable? Number two, obviously I'm having enough technical problems not having hip-hop occurring the background of our podcast. So figuring out how to do a Rift Track style commentary where we would
Starting point is 00:43:44 not be recording the audio of the movie. We we have to be wearing headphones to watch the movie and That would that would be some sort of super scientific So many times though we don't I mean we don't Word for word yeah, yeah, we could watch it with the caption although I love to hear the songs Maybe the songs are caption Yeah, I wonder if it is. I wonder if it is post captioned. It's a DVD.
Starting point is 00:44:08 It'll probably just subtitles are captions on it. Yeah. I mean, you wouldn't want somebody who's hard of hearing to miss out on the twins that he's. Oh, no, not at all. One of those. What is that? A simple cut.
Starting point is 00:44:17 One of the pentacles of Western art. Yeah. Yeah, it's right up there with the Don Quixote-Pupin-Vonus scene. So we are working on it. Yes, our tops, our top minds are on the line. You can lie to it. Too lie to you. We will say we were working on it. We can work on it. I mean, you can continue to be to antagonize our listener, Dan.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Or you can try and make up, you can get some platitudes like I have. I have good heart. I'm not doing that. I thought it wasn't a bad but I think it's a good idea. I think it is a good idea. And we can try. We'll see. I don't think if we would let
Starting point is 00:44:52 we'll try to get it up at some point maybe, but it won't be soon. Although we have, I mean, we have talked about doing another live event in the winter. I don't know. It'll change the fact that he's in Mississippi.
Starting point is 00:45:01 But yeah, well, maybe by then, he will move to a better state. Whoa. Wow. Wow. There it is. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Fettman. He writes in to say, Hey, dudes, it's just like my kind of guy. That's three years. I never really listened to podcasts until a friend of mine recommended this to me about six months ago. I listened to the Fane Bratz episode and immediately was addicted. I assumed there were other podcasts as good as yours out there, but after hours of searching, I found nothing. So congratulations, you're the best. And now... Thank you. For my question.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Oh boy, are they always want something? We give and we give and they take and they take. Is the mic on? He says, if you've had to fight one character from a movie, you've watched on the podcast who would it be perhaps Sir Ben Kingsley although he seemed to be a match for the Prince of Persia yeah that was made no sense this boy's way tough yeah he's he's he's wierry he's a wierry old fellow I wouldn't fight the guy from Beasley because he was super strong yeah he was beastly maybe Um, maybe that, oh well,
Starting point is 00:46:26 I have my answer, but whenever you're, um, I'm just working through it. I wouldn't fight the Olsen Twin from beastly because she's magic. Really? Do you remember any movies? I'll say I would fight the angels from Legion because you could just push them over and they dissolve into dust. It literally is like boxing a baby. We went over this in detail in the Legion episode. I think I might fight one of the, um, one of the nanotholes from 10,000 BC if I was allowed a oozy to go up against their spear, uh, just out of pure, uh, spite for them boring me for a couple of hours. You'd have to see them hunt Manics.
Starting point is 00:47:08 You know what? What we call mammoths. I decided I'd fight the kid from Gooby because he's a little pussy. Yeah. Wow. He's like a long kid. I can beat him up. Sure.
Starting point is 00:47:18 I mean, I don't know. I mean, Gooby might swoop in. I see a cop in a half type scenario coming. What are the kids? That's a bit more than you can handle? Kid with a badge. It's not worse kind. This next one is from Jake last night. Oh, sorry, that was the last one.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Sorry, Jake the snake and the fat man. This was from Jordan last name with hell. He says, I just listened to your other part. Your podcast about old dogs, which is awesome by the way And one of the share some older good band movies with you. Oh, I did do that. Yeah, you remember Wow, hogs that I didn't do. Yeah, you missed wild hogs, but old dogs and luck maybe you'll be here for crazy frogs or Tired logs Sweaty fogs. I don't know if we shouldn't do that one
Starting point is 00:48:08 Sounds like one of those movies Dan likes to watch, huh? You know? I don't know what you mean like. Sweaty. Sweaty. Alright. I don't understand. Like, the movie, like, exercise. Well, kind of.
Starting point is 00:48:16 I mean, they're working out of that. But, anyway, Jordan says that he would share some good bad movies and his suggestions are one lethal tender maybe my favorite bad movie it stars Kim Coates from Battlefield Earth and Waterworld as the villain and Montessy one of the worst performances of villain ever it also has Gary Busey as a bad guy and Jeff Feige as the good guy. Always a good guy in my art. It involves Montessi. So I'm a poor man. It involves Montessi infiltrating a water filtration plant.
Starting point is 00:48:52 I love it already. And taking hostages. Number two, radical Jack. I don't know, King Arujak. I don't know, he always says it's a movie. A crocodile. It's a movie tomorrow. Billy Ray Cyrus, that's all the information. I feel like we need more information on radical jack
Starting point is 00:49:08 Yeah, a little do some research on radical Jack number three free jack a lot of Jack movies Sure, I'm sure you guys have seen this one, but one of the Sci-fi good-bed movies and lastly monster dog a movie with Alice Cooper that is practically unwatchable I don't know how that's possible. It's a movie about a monster dog without a Cooper. It seems like you have everything. You got everything out of the Frank and weeny. Well, baby. Probably not Drexway Tim Burton, no.
Starting point is 00:49:35 I'm gonna assume. Well, I don't know. Well, was it like man's best friend? About the government lab dog that escapes and befriends a family? No, I don't know. I haven't seen monster dogs. Stuart tell us about like that. I'm not seeing it. Is it like Beethoven? It's probably it's like Marmiter. Is it like Beethoven's third? Why have we not watched Marmadoop for this thing?
Starting point is 00:49:58 That's a good question. I think his dad has already seen it. I'm not. Oh, yeah, you went to the opening to premiere because you're such a Marma fan You know Marmite You're real dooke Speedy of Marmite our next letter comes from Melbourne, Australia. Oh All the way on the other side of the world good segue from Dan Segway a week
Starting point is 00:50:28 And it's titled good News for Stuart. Yes. And it's gonna be about beer. Dan says, Sean Hayes has a new show on NBC. Hopefully, the state's Stuart's obvious thirst for new Hayes material. Wow.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Enjoy the podcast, especially Stuart's random David Winham slam in the old dog's episode. Yes! Sean Hayes, I hate Sean Hayes. I hate him so much. I didn't remember you had any particular feelings about Sean Hayes. I don't know, I mean, I'm sure I've said something. No, I remember his cut some references to how he wants a Sean Hayes type in and then
Starting point is 00:51:08 roll. Yeah, like the life of humor of Sean Hayes. This is what this needs to some Sean Hayes. Do I describe you as being a Sean Hayes type? Like, you just come into a room and brighten it. I've seen that odd, while you were saying I was Sean Hay it's just moments ago. What do you say about Dan every podcast? Oh man. Good times. I love letters. Yeah me too. That's my favorite part of life is answering letters for the flop house. So please write some more in flop house fans. So you don't die. I didn't say extended my life. I said the rest of my life is a sham. So let's turn this
Starting point is 00:51:49 turn this be around. Oh okay. And let's move on to some quick recommendations about movies that perhaps people might want to watch instead of my soul to take anything. Okay, so your recommendation is anything your eyes can look at that is not this movie No, I can't look at the window. I mean, unless they're unless you're looking out at the window onto a movie screen playing my soul to take Okay, guys. I I'm all prepped so go ahead. Okay Let me guess is about a maniac that's invisible? It's a movie called the Invisible Maniac. Oh my god. Is that the only movie you watch?
Starting point is 00:52:31 Yeah. I watched it the other day. That's not true. I don't know anymore. I don't have a VHS player. The court personally removed it from him. For his own good. So it's called the invisible maniac guy goes
Starting point is 00:52:46 invisible kills both people kills a person with a submarine seed which is stomped out of guys head and to explore the all of his own things or is that just a castle ring the he said he said be quick about recommendations. I know why he's letting me down. I mean, there's a lot of murder, but you're also ignoring the fact that the invisible man It mainly becomes a visible to spy on naked women Of course, that's the part that Dan would like to primarily the thing about the movie Well, I mean I like those submarines and which murder okay
Starting point is 00:53:19 So Dan what's your movie? I thought it was more like a like a character study real slice of life paper I got a mumble core film I haven't many at core I should haven't seen a Movie that I would recommend past week. So I'm gonna go to a just a classic recommendation For my birthday. I got the blue ray of sweet smell of success, which is a marvelous movie. It's a great jazz score. And we're Bernstein's score. A great lead performances. For Lancaster and Tony Curtis.
Starting point is 00:53:58 A wonderful script. Bernstein's layman. And just just just some beautiful cinematography. Well director was Alexander McKendrick and I remember this retirement was I'm gonna say James Wong how so I think you might be right actually I guess it looks like his stuff.
