The Flop House - The Flop House: Episode Two - Memory

Episode Date: September 1, 2007

In the second episode of The Flop House, the team travels deep into unexplored reaches of the Billy Zane catalogue, to unearth the a repressed (or at least barely theatrically released) Memory.  Meanwhile, Simon contemplates suicide, Stuart can't seem to turn off his phone, and Dan coins a new improv troupe name.0:00 - 0:34 - Introduction and theme music.0:34 - 1:40 - Synopsis of Memory courtesy of Wikipedia.1:40 - 28:19 - Oh, Memory, why can't we forget you?28:19 - 32:56 - The sad bastards recommend stuff that doesn't suck.32:56 - 34:30 - Goodbyes, theme music, and outtakes.The Flop House Theme courtesy of Keith Burgun.

Tonight in the flop house, we examine the Billy Zane vehicle memory. Surely the best Billy Zane going over the synopsis, we're going to start this episode with the Wikipedia synopsis of memory. While lecturing in Brazil, Dr. Taylor Briggs, Billy Zane, an American authority on memory consults on a patient found deep in the Amazon. During the exam, Taylor is accidentally exposed to a mysterious substance, which unlocks a series of memories in his brain, memories that are not his. The memory of a killer who committed crimes before Taylor was even born,

a killer who is closer than you think. The mystery will rip open Taylor Briggs's well-crafted life, as strange in his relationship with his best friend Dr. D. Pritching, leading him into romance with a beautiful, enigmatic painter, Stephanie Jacobs, played by Trisha Helper, straining his relationship with his mom best friend Carol and Margaret, causing him to question the surrogate father figure in his life, Dr. Max Lichtenstein. And now we join the others in the flop house.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the flop house. Simon's laughing because I'm putting my radio in the box. Yeah, he's so funny. Hello! Welcome to the Blop House. The show where we discuss movies that aren't that good. It's so bad. It makes me die inside. So now we talk about the movie Memories starring Billy Zane. I think the Billy Zane issue.

Okay, and I think it's fair to call it an issue. What are your feelings on Billy Zane? I hate Billy Zane. I really do. Yeah. Yeah, I really do. And all scenes he constantly has a smug look on his face. No matter what line he's delivering or the emotional context is, he's always got this

kind of like, whatever man, I don't'm okay I have to admit a sneaking fondness really stupid I don't know he looks like a fucking rapist he looks like he would probably rape you that's the thing he might but he wish for a man wish for a man like if Billy Zane raped you he would do it with sort of a sly understated humor now there's there's there's like out there's a brutish Thug like quality to and make some very unlikable See I find a smudgedness somehow sort of charm in dearing short. No, I don't think so

I've had a really complex relationship with Billy Zane. It's fine. I watched like consequence the Zalman King movie when I was pretty young and It was really erotic. So I always just kind of a trivial like really association thing. Yeah, was it erotic because of Billy Zane though or was it just... Well the problem is that he was just post-pubescent like so that shit's all wrapped up in his brain now. It's all twisted together and he doesn't know where the Billy Zane ends and the eroticism begins. So he gets aroused whenever he sees Billy Zane. Well I get not necessarily.

I think the two are twisted together. I actually think Dan's close to the mark here. It wasn't June's severance. I like the fact that I, you know, I watch Billy Zane in this movie and I feel like Billy Zane believes he is in some sort of life comedy. That's Billy Zane believes he's in a life comedy in every movie. He's constantly like smirking or sneering at everyone. And he wears a shitload of turtlenecks in this movie.

Well, I'm going to say that some of his turtlenecks, a lot of burgundy sweaters, fine light sweat, light sweaters. I'm not saying that we shouldn't address his wardrobe because his movie is clearly sponsored by Albein. Either wearing a VNEC or wearing a turtleneck and it's like burgundy. Very gentle colors. Like a nice maroon or like a tobacco color. Like you know like a nice chocolatey brown. Yeah. Now this movie and exposition., if it's possible for there to be 200% exposition in the movie, the movie had 200% exposition. It's all exposition. Really? Yes, absolutely.

I agree with you, sir. We are off of mine. The key example, I would say, probably the point in which there's a to-do list that fills the entire screen. One of the things I'm a to-do list is pick up scuba gear. And then later, lo and behold in the movie, what skill does Bill Xain have that he needs to call upon to solve the mystery, but his scuba diving. This CDS scuba diving ability is short.

Maybe I'm a little harsh, but I really think that he needed to be able to scuba dive. Why do you really feel that like if that scene wasn't in the movie, you wouldn't have known what was going on? My favorite exposition moment was when he and his Asian friend with the weird mustache. Why do you have to bring up these? Well, it's because that was his friend. Okay, fine, his friend. His only friend is one friend in the movie. Yes, his that was his friend. Okay, fine, his friend. He only has friends. He only has friends in the movie.

Yes, his mustache you, friend. In any case, his friend and he, they're at that bar, and they're talking, and his friend's talking about, like, you can't worry about whether or not you, yourself will get Alzheimer's someday, like your mom who has Alzheimer's. And like, they go in this conversation that's like, oh, so he's not only a good guy and really smart,

but also really not Alzheimer-timeers research got it it's brings up another problem I have this goddamn movie the fucking movie was about memories so they made the character in Alzheimer's research and nothing to the plot it just it seems really fitting so that's that's good screen no it's not good screen writing there's nothing that makes that good what makes that good you give the character you see the character of personal props that relate to the theme of the movie. And the theme is memory as exemplified by the title of the film, Memory, which is explained to us. First, the first shot of the film is a dictionary definition of memory for all of the non-English speakers in the audience.

Frankly, the two of the non-English speakers in the audience. Frankly, the Taylor truth. Fucking for the first hour and a half, I had no fucking idea what we were gonna do. Literally no idea, what's the matter? I've been drinking and I was texting somebody most of the time, but... Taylor truth! No idea, I just saw Billy say it's a murky, Muslim. It was it. I would say it would be fair to call it a slow starting move. Well, I wouldn't even say that it was slow starting so much as it was like a weird series of like tableaus that didn't really have anything to do with each other like Billy Zane,

researching Alzheimer's, Billy Zane in Brazil, Billy Zane, tooling around town. Well, let's let's let's address a little bit. The the the the thrush of the film is Billy Zane starts getting memories that are already his and that leads him into like this mystery. It's a mystery. And these memories are like, these are memories that some family member had that he's remembering. I really liked all the bits where all of a sudden he would close his eyes and then he would be in a memory.

Yeah, that was really good. Because it was really true to life. Sure, that's the way I experienced memory. Well, that was the best part about it. Instead of it, it wasn't just that he had his parents' memories, he experienced them in a living way. Like, he would live the memory in his waking life. Well, whenever I have a memory, it's like an epileptic seizure.

I literally... Oh, well, no, remember that. I disengage from life as it is, and then it's like a blackout. So that's why I try not to remember things in day to day life. Sure. But the reason he starts having his mysteries, the film starts out in Sao Paulo where he gets exposed to this dust which has been used in religious ceremonies the world over

for 2,000 years as the movie's movie. No, it wasn't 2 million. It was 2 million. It was 2 million. No, it was 2 million. It was totally 2 million. They said 2 million. Are you. No, it was two million. It was two million. It was two million. It was two million. They said two million.

Are you sure they didn't say two million? Civilized societies for two million years have been used to us. Two million years. A world over. Weirdly enough without any form of communication. It's called red ok. But anyway, he goes back to the United States. And literally, the whole opening is just a plot device some reason

So he can start having the memory show experience someone else's memories We don't return to Brazil They like the he doesn't count our like some sort of Brazilian cult operating in America I'm into like memory monsters or some shit, you know what? Here's the thing this is me up so much oh god, I can't handle these twist movies like some kid found out that he was adopted by a serial killer and his real dead was the cop who was hunting the serial killer. Like, it seems like if anyone comes up with a bullshit idea

I need to make a movie around this retarded thing. Like, wouldn't that be weird if that happened? So they make him go to Brazil where he actually touches powder that makes you experience your parents' memories. Later turns out that's a fucking lucky break because one of his parents is a murderer. Fucking pretty, pretty nice. And this all becomes clear in the last five minutes

of movie when he stumbles upon a dungeon of evidence. So let's call it a dungeon. A dungeon of evidence. I like to call it an evidence dungeon. Well in any case, it's certainly not a basement. It's a dungeon? A dungeon of evidence. I like to call it an evidence dungeon. Well, in any case, it's certainly not a basement. It's a dungeon. It's partially in the course of defeating the old woman. The Billy Zane is luckily able to overpower.

He manages to destroy all the evidence. So, case closed. Seriously, yeah, Billy Zane is an owner in it. The nightmare is over. I like to call that the tango and cash ending. Yep, for everything explodes and then job will do. Way to go, boss. By the way, two episodes, two tango and cash mentions.

We're only two episodes in the spot, because we've already mentioned tango and cash twice. But if you recall, tango and cash blow up jackpounces evil compound and all of the evidence that would exonerate them. No in this case yeah it's swap tango and cash for billy zane and subject palences you have and Margaret. I think at the point is passed out what it explodes. Oh we don't know if she was passed out or if maybe there had been some like horrible poison she had stabbed with the

solution. Yeah and maybe it was a knockout thing I don't know maybe she was unconscious. He's poison or she's burnt to death. He beat up an elderly woman who turns out well spoiler alert turns out the dead markets is fucking real mom through a retarded series of things are worth discussing and she's murder and she bases her murdering on an angel. Part of the lesson now, like I don't know that part of the Tetra Grammertime, I don't know where you find that. Wait did you just say Tetra Grammertime? Yes. Yes. The four major books of the Jewish Relentive. I don't know if it comes from folklore or what? Now Simon, you said something about

a really cool angel, what was she based on? What, you mean, Capsil? Yeah! Capsil the angel. Now, the angel of dead children. Now, if I recall, she used that name, Capsil. Yes, she did. When she went on the internet to find girls. Yeah, she used that as an, I am a handle. Yep, we'll call her a handle, not a...

In this internet age. Anemists is good too. Like the whole Myspace stocking age that we live in. She would stalk young girls via instant messenger. And she used the name Kefseel, but she printed backwards. Which I find weird because presumably all the little girls he's trying to kidnap are not familiar with. He brave folklore.

I don't know, maybe the parents are. Otherwise they'd read the name and name be like wait a minute my daughter's being I am by someone named kebsiel that's the angel of that children well I mean either way what this you know movie is taught me is that like she's able to I am little girls without no you mean she does it well I think what Dan's going for is more like what she just started typing and random little girl sounding names like Daddy's a girl or baby princess just like shit. I'm not coming up with a spoiled rotten 24 Yeah, or even just trying like names like

Jamie Anderson sure Jamie Anderson 12 why not and like so Janie is that just like the random number or are you 12 years old? Like perfect, I'll seem to kidnap you. It's me, a new friend, a left concept or whatever the fuck it is backwards. And Janie Anderson, 12 years old, of course, is like, oh, left concept. My new favorite internet friend,

I will meet you in the mysterious forest. I will think of the world. Where are you all surely not kidnapped, man? Thanks for sending me that really cool fly to the concourse. Video clip for me to watch. It's weird. I do like having tea parties with life-sized little girl dolls. Yeah, that was a really creepy party in the movie,

where apparently Kevzeel, in addition to murdering all girls, what she does is she kidnaps them and then makes like a plaster mold of their face and then makes a wax mask of it, puts the wax mask on a doll, and she then seats that doll at a really big long table for a tea party. Then presumably later on, she kills the little girl, and then when new little girls get kidnapped, they all enjoy a super creepy tea party.

With all the beautiful little girls. All my little babies. You know, dolls. That's my end-marker impression, by the way. Dolls are naturally scary. That's true. I just certainly figured this out, Hollywood. And now, I-

That man's name is Billy Zaint. Now, I- Speaking of which, by the way, if I could go back in time and I had, let's say, a high school improv, uh, troop. Yep. I would do troop. I would name them the Billy Zanie's. No, for that.

They're not the Zaniacs? The Billy Zanie's. The Billy Zanie's. The Billy Insaniacs. Funster Chugloss. The Zanie? Funster? Yep, the Billy Zanie's't of Funster Chuck Loss.

Well, if you'll remember, there was that part where Billy's Ain't was having one of the memories, and he said that the abductor doesn't seem as fixated on killing the children, that's wanting to protect them. However, the girls, the little girls, did die, that's worth mentioning. So, Kempsel, not that great of a protector. Well, girls get scared when forced to endure. A creepy teapot or anything. You're getting a tear that you're doing, dude. I think if you're gonna like choose Kephzeal,

as you're like tag-longed, and you're animus. Yeah, as you're animus, I think you're kind of setting yourself up for failure if your goal is not to lead the dead children Yeah, as the angel of dead children. Yeah, specifically. No, you might want to go with I don't know More gentlemen of the road angel angel of the living children That's it sure now so the evidence dungeon at the end I thought it was really cool that there was like that really weekly haul that was the fucking weirdest part now

So I mean obviously she has her room where she does all her like Upducked he research like her notes like things to do today up duck more girls under like Highlighter like what the fuck right? I don't do that and I'm smart right? like what the fuck right I'm smart right right the idea being like it's the kind of to-do list of some who would write who doesn't normally write to do this is like you know what I'm gonna write a to-do list first seven o'clock wake up and a clock go to work and like you know you don't get a right that shit out

because you're going to do it right so as an abductor you don't have to write out like today. Must remember to abduct more girls. Exclamation points. Yeah abduction. 10 o'clock. Exit you the infection. 11 o'clock. Enjoy abduction. Enjoy fruits of abduction. So there was that room. However, the adjoining room was a really twisty hall, almost like a fun house hallway, with a bunch of weird like crazy person words and phrases written everywhere. Yeah, it was like the hall that you would walk down if you went to like some churches like haunted house. Sure, or really women's house.

Like I don't know like a fun house, someone. A JC's haunted house. I don't know where she died. And it says things like abortions bad or something. Sure. I don't know abortion rules or something. I'm one scary. I know. Well, I guess it was a church and I'm trying to be scared. They would probably say abortion rules. Yeah, you're cause they wouldn't be scared. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a cause of whores. It would be a cause of truth.

Sure. In any case, I remember seeing the hallway and wondering, rather than she was a carpenter, how she explained that construction of the drywall installers. Like, I'm gonna need like, I don't know, like a really twisty hall, like the crazy person might have, you know, if I was crazy. But then though, let's not forget that at the end of that crazy hallway was the room of ultimate clues like the old after shits, after traveling through that twisted, like twisted mind, the twisted mind, he gets to like the reasons, the answers to which feature to really

big picture of her. A gigantic, like blown up photograph of a contemporary photograph of Ann Margaret in the middle of the wall, in the middle like a giant spider in the middle of a web. So yeah, it seems kind of weird. It's fair. It did not have murderous written on it and they Yeah, like why am I such a murder question mark? But then it was surrounded with like for instance apparently when you get discharged from a mental hospital

They give you your own report like here's why you're crazy would she have? The wall longer the bunch of photos and other damning evidence. Yeah, it's really, really close to the board. Now I'd like to point out that the the co-writer director of the film based his screenplay and I'm assuming part of his directorial cues on the novel, the same name memory. Sure. Which they mentioned in the opening credits. Yep. And, dude, they mentioned them in the closing credits. The closing credits.

The first credit is, please go by my book, please. Now, haven't you watched the movie? It's out there playing div. Having watched the movie. I will go by this book because it's obviously very good. Yeah, it's a chance. Yes. I would say that it seems like it's probably a tremendous novel. I only want to buy it once it's Adapted into graphic novel sure that's fair. Mm-hmm too many words are really annoying. I want that I want there to be a novelization of the film based on a novel of the film based on the novel. P-H-H-H-H memory. Maybe I guess it's supposedly a fun memory I'll never rent again.

Sure, a great memory. So I'd like to introduce a new segment that we're going to have in this episode. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy. Yeah, chill, chill, I've got this. I got this one. Be careful. Don't worry about it, I got this one.

It's called Memories of Memory. What is literally your favorite moment in the movie memory? Daniel. I mean, I may be stealing it from you. I don't know what you're thinking of, but I know that you made us watch it a couple times. There was a moment at which mustache friend scientist said, Hey, remember that dust we've happened to feed it to these mice? And you know what happened?

And the building's saying reacted in a way.'s like he's like yeah remember what he says this he's like he says do you remember those you remember those rats that I fed the powder to Billy Zane's reaction with a slightly arched divers to say yeah he says it really weird and like yeah I remember that was good shit yeah it's really fucking weird. His response is as if he was saying remember when we got those two title letters? So that's a pretty good memory. My favorite memory is, okay, there's this awesome part where Billy Zayn's walking down the street.

And he sees a painting that's very reminiscent of the image he's been having from these memories. He then goes to where the artist has her studio. Walks up to her and says, I'm interested in buying one of your paintings. Her reaction is to say, rather snidely, would you buy a lot of art? Which was kind of weird. He handles it as best as he's able. And then she asks him out on a date to drink some hot chocolate. During date they had no point talking about the painting that I like to purchase They bring what's to talk about their lives get to know one another and then she probably leaves as she has in the class She's and you know what he doesn't end up buying the painting whole thing. I think that parts really fucking weird

Now my memory, you know if this movie taught me anything. It's that memories are fickle beasts They're creatures that you can't really you can't trap into a little box You know, if this movie taught me anything, it's that memories are fickle beasts. They're creatures that you can't trap into a little box. But I think the thing that I'm going to carry with me forever, probably, till I die, is the end of the film when Billy Zane realizes that the girl that he's in love with his love interest, that's why I'm just mentioning Stephanie Jacobs, who mentioned. Stephanie Jacobs was actually the girl that was kidnapped that he was seeing in the memories of his dad or mom. I don't actually remember. No, it was his mom. It was his mom and Margaret. The aunt of that madder, right into a cow's hell.

Nevertheless, it was just really touching. Sure it was. I think it was an excellent day in mom. Sure. Just really touching sure it was I think it was an excellent day We take a moment just to talk about I mean other than Billy's name sometimes the memory is a nice film that does not Not a big not a big movie But a great movie There's a name actors in this movie. Sure there are. Billy's Aaron for instance.

But they're really saying Dennis Hopper is in this movie. He is? Dennis Hopper. As we've mentioned. We've made a bad movie. And Margaret in this movie. Less well known, but his love interest, Trisha Helper, from the new battle star Galactica. I'm not an interesting cast.

No. Sorry I got a report have a report by text message. Stuart is getting a text message in the middle of his podcast. Maybe it's a text message from his memories! From Capsule! Hey, still! Time to get mad and dude! I see! But...

Yeah, Dennis Ombar isn't it. That's true. Also, that chick from Balsar, I don't have to get the dance that are you suggesting that sometimes I Would say Oscar caliber actors or put a position where they can make either Like an exquisite film like a big money movie or just kind of like small like you know like character piece Well, let's just let's let's call it like just like a really cerebral movie You know like it's a thinking man's movie because it's about like memories and shit That's true Dude I totally can know the the

Sorkasm And I think you're doing this movie in justice. It's a tired movie. It made me say the whole time I watched it I get wishing that I had died and watching it anymore Yeah, there they're just really good. Yeah, there's this movie about a memorologist. So a master memoryist. Here's making that character on Alzheimer's research in a movie about memories is like in Ghost Rider how the main character's last name was Blaze. What a great-ass coincidence that his last name informs the fact that he will later be on fire. It's not good script guys. This is the name of the code. Yeah and that's some stupid too then.

We discussed this in the last podcast, but I had to cut it out for time purposes. The reason why we selected this film, which was we saw the trailer for it in front of the Korean horror movie The Host. And there was a huge response in the theater when we saw this trailer. Huge response of laughter. More laughter than I've ever seen. It was supposedly serious. It was the weirdest phenomenon I've ever seen. It was a trailer that clearly took itself very seriously and was very earnest about like

memory and the nightmare of memories and sometimes memories about murderers are scary. And right when it finished, the entire theater cracked up. Well, I was also a trailer that clearly was edited on an iMac. Someone had an iMac. Well, it's a great tool. There was no money left over to make a trailer after getting big stars like Billy Zane. Billy's ain't. Sure. That shit don't come free. Oh shit. Um, the flop house. Check it out. That sucks. That was the worst bump ever. So I think that we're probably ready to make a judgment on this movie now.

Let me remind you of the official flop house category. Which I could like to know that. There's number one. Oh, that's right. I remember this. I remember one movie that you would not recommend to anyone. That's right, because I'm a goddamn cramod in I remember that. Number two.

Number two. There's a movie that you would recommend to someone because it's a bad and a way that you find funny, like a fun, bad movie. And number three, a movie that you secretly kind of like. Mm-hmm, sure. So Simon, what category would you put this in? Well, I still so still he pointed out

a lot of what I said tonight was driven the sarcasm Really? Yeah, I don't think remember you know you said that a minute ago remember okay I thought this movie was Retarded now that said my I I hate this movie and No, I hate this movie and Like I said, I wish I was dead. I might recommend it to other people to watch because it's so bad with the caveat though that you have to watch it With I mean with a large group of people because it's kind of movie where if you watch it like with one of the person And you're both just actually sitting down to watch it have a good watch. Sure. You're You're gonna wanna, you're gonna wanna, I don't know, chop your own legs off. Alright Stewart, what do you say?

Thing is, I totally recommend it. It was awesome. You're a goddamn liar, it's a chemo. No, I'm not lying. You're a goddamn liar. Dude, you watched a third of it. Here's the thing. I got exactly what I wanted out of this movie.

Stealth, not so much. Stealth kind of sucked my dawn. Not in a good way, like a kind of nipple on it. Yeah, I would say that I would recommend it to people. You're both insane. No, I would recommend it on the grounds of it being bad. But it is bad in a really fascinating way. Like I said, Billie Zane has some really off-beat line

readings that just don't change. Which is fucking weird. Any sense at all, it has the craziest plot device in the world. Like, they start out in Brazil. And they're like, you know what, we're going to give you the power to have your parents' memories. I accidentally touched a powder that makes you have the memories that your parents had before you were born. And as you say, it's very convenient that one of his parents happens to be murderers. It's not like...

Really fucking works that nicely. That way it's not a bunch of trite or mundane memories. Yeah, it's like you're... Like that was my first, I don't know, ice cream social I ever went to. Yeah, creepy out. I'm reliving the memory of my parents fucking for the first time. This my parents go into a fucking really old sock house. Yep, a fucking box social.

Yeah, Jake. It would almost be like they also had given him the last name like, Dr. Jeremiah Memories is having a bunch of weird ass memories. Like it sounds stupid. Um, and a world full of memories. Jeremiah Memories has to unravel two new memories. You know, it's just that kind of... Dr. Jeremiah Memories. Like I'm right. It's copyright. The thing is, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, But memory behind us sure let's forget let's forget that memory we can memory I said

You I said memory Danes lose So No, go what he got I think Dan wants to talk about other movies that we might have seen other than memory research. Sure that we would recommend. Yes, I recommend. So, Simon, you go first. Sure. Kind of an obvious one. I think I'm going to steal a lot of people's thunder on this one, but I saw a super bad day other day and it was hilarious. It was an incredibly

hilarious, great, hilarious movie. I just totally watched a couple episodes from the second season of Rome, and they were really good. Is that kind of a movie? Dan, your thoughts on it? Is that kind of a movie? I don't, you know, it's time to find what we're recommending. Okay.

Okay, then let me pull this back. Okay, sure. We will. We will. Um, instead of watching a TV show, I totally saw another trailer for a movie called Good Luck Chuck Every time I think about that movie, I want to beat myself to death with a hammer So if you want me to beat myself to death with a hammer, you should make me watch trailers for the Luck Chuck I asked Stuart on takes to do it out on a nice date to go see Good Luck Chuck. I don't know, just the trailer.

out on a nice day to go see good luck Chuck. I don't know, just the trailer, not the movie. Now again, you know, two episodes in, I think we're already seeing some trends here. Sure. One of them being the Stewart doesn't necessarily understand the purpose of the steak menu. Like this is the segment that's recommended movie recently so Stewart's recommended is two episodes of DVD TV show and I really am annoying trailer you watched I trailer you just

I trailer you just trailer for a movie that he really doesn't want to say a trailer by the way we're like hey still what's a great movie so recently like I read a really cool magazine or the other day I'm gonna check out

movie what movie do you see recently that's really good okay actually I actually okay cool everybody's cool okay I watched the stirby of the other day that's true we watch this during well we didn't really pay attention to the stress watch I watch it again pretty good shy love booth not bad.

Like the guy. Kind of weird love interest element. And kind of the like, the thing that kind of pushes him to battling the murderer is kind of weird. But, pretty good. Right there, nicely done, see it. I see it.

Luckily, this podcast, much like baseball, you only get three strikes, but you knock it out of the park with that last one Daniel what do you got for us? I watched movie recently called the silent partner Sounds boring from the But it was from the night late the 70s Says more boring Basically the premise is like

oh shit, three strikes, three strikes pull out, damn wait, whoa it's a thriller, like a third yeah, it's a strike, what else you got? the premise of the song partner is there's a bank teller who realizes that a guy

is going to rob the bank and he sort of has an idea of when this bank guy is going to rob the bank. And he sort of has an idea of when this bank rob is gonna occur. So on that day, he put some of the money in his lunch box and knowing that once the bank has been robbed, the police are gonna think, okay, that money was just part of what was stolen.

However, the bank robber hears him talking about the robbery on the news and realizes that the money that's been reported stolen is larger than the money that he has. So he's then going after the guy for the right to money. It's got Christopher Plummer in it as the bad guy. The screenplay was written by Curtis Hanson who went on to direct LA contential and wonder boys and it starts Elliot Gould and you know what I love that there was a time in our history when Elliot Gould was a big fucking movie star. I agree with that I think that's fair. You know like it's pretty awesome that there was a period where they're like you know what this kind of goofy guy

is gonna be our star he's a major star he's a major really good man on the brand that's true he was also really good in the oceans moving but now it's time to say a fond farewell so sad as part of the show I'd like to thank you for checking in to the fluff house you know that's it that's a catchphrase I'm trying out which is what repeated one more time let's go thank you for checking into the flop house.
