I'm at Carmen and this is Cassandra Eurosh. Hello. For the co-editors of I Love Bad Movies, a bi-early print collection of essays and illustrations about great bad movies. It's called a zine grandpa, and we're here to tell you about the bad movie night that we're co-hosting with Dan Stewart and Elliott. We're all really excited about it. Well, the flop house is so excited about it.

Why they ask us to do the movie minute. They're busy re-enacting the slash senior rule about them. Thursday, June 30th at 8 p.m. we'll be screening the Flawphouse Classic Twin Citters about strangely dressed bodybuilders who end up babysitting two rich kids who are also twins but not bodybuilders. It's complicated. The screening will take place in 92 y trebekah, 200 Hudson Street, and Manhattan, just below Canal Street. But what can people expect when they get there? Matt and I will kick the night off with a slideshow presentation on the great burly caretakers of American film.

It will be enlightening and informative, but more importantly, you can arrive slightly wait without feeling like you've missed anything. After that we'll hand it over to the Flop House guys who will sit in the front row with microphones and do what you've always wanted to see them do. Riff on a movie as it happens. Jokes, insults, lists of things that sound alike. It'll all be happening live. It'll be like everyone in the theater won the flop for the flopper's contest all at once. We watched a few bad movies with these guys and we can tell you they're funnier than regular

drunk people shouting things at the screen. They'd better be. They won that Grammy for Best Comedy Podcast. I'm not sure that's true. And you'll be able to drink during the screening. 92 Y. Tribeca serves beer and wine that you can bring into the theater. PBR is only three bucks and beer that people actually drink is five to seven dollars. Plus there'll be two intermissions. One for a trivia round with us where you'll be able to win copies of

I-Live Bad Movies featuring essays from Dan, Elliot, and other film nerds. And later in the evening we'll have a special surprise interview. trivia, prizes, running jokes, and commentary from the Flop House. And maybe an appearance from the Flop House House Kit? Wow! Still needs work. See a great bad movie, meet the floppers and fellow Flop fans, meet us. They don't know us.

All for $12 at 92 Y Tribeca in New York. Thursday June 30 at at 8pm. We'd recommend buying your tickets online, follow the link on the Flap House site. In case you're still on the fence, we'll just let the Flap House tell you about this awesome movie. Here's part of a movie minute they did about Twin Citters back in 2008. My favorite element of Twin Citters was that the love interest dated both of the twin-citters. The two barbarian brothers and she seemed equally interested in both of them and the barbarian

brothers appeared to be totally cool with that. I was excited about that romantic resolution. So Stuart, what's your favorite element of twin-citters? I don't know, it's a tough call. I like how the barbarianian brothers when confronted with the FBI and when the FBI tried to stop them from leaving so that they can go on their date. The Barbarian brothers drive over and smash their cars with their giant monster truck. I think that's a crime.

The destruction of government property out of soon. Yeah, so that was pretty cool. I also just really like the outfits. I mean whoever was in charge of costumes bravo Bravo. There's there's some great stuff like the one costume where we were that weird like Gestapo hat and like seven different police badges He's like the sheriff of like seven different counties or maybe from seven different eras I don't know like he like you went back in time and defeated various different sheriffs and took their sheriffs but just do something.

I don't like he's an outlaw, let it go. I actually was gonna bring up the outfits also. That's like the off the shoulder half sweatshirt with the pink bandana that the other brother wears. But there's the great thing about Twin Sitters is it's so rich there's so much to bite into here. From the evil butler whose job was mainly to react to things in a,

I can't believe it, type way, or have trays of dishes upended onto him, to the fact that the barbarian brothers seem to have performed most of the soundtrack themselves. But I think, probably my favorite thing about it is the idea that identical twins are such an outlandish thing in the world of twins It is that every time a pair of identical twins shows up, people are astounded into inaction. The big climax involves several pairs of identical twins, and whenever a villain sees one of the twins, then looks to the side and sees another one of the twins,

There's a look at his face like, what? How can you be in two places at once? What manner of wizardry is this? But they're just, they're just twins. And you have to assume these people know that twins exist. They've seen full house. It's on the air at the time. They know the Olsen twins and yet everyone is baffled by the existence of twins. Well, to summarize, I just want to say one more thing about that butler. He apparently carries just trays of dishes around the mansion all the time, even when his master is out, which is most of the film, he's just carrying a trays of dishes around in the event that he might be surprised by something so he can drop it or he can pull it back and smash it over his own face.

And any slaps to comedy are going to get things that would have killed someone in real life. But here they were a little more extreme. At one point the twins who are being sat throw a plugged in radiator into the pool that the twins, the Viberian brothers are in and luckily it unplugged just at the last moment. But it would have killed them. Also the twins refused to eat the food that the barbarian brothers who are Italian chefs Well are serving and this goes on for days and the children show no ill effects from not eating for several days at the time

When in reality they would probably be very sick or frail They're probably eating fruit roll-ups or some shit, dude You know, you know kids are eating that like gogurt, you know the yogurt in a in a tube Yeah, it was no gogurt. OK. I just want to close by saying, we've watched a lot of films that we've been disappointed in that have been neither good movies or movies that are funny as bad movies.

But I think we can all give a rousing endorsement to twin-sitters as an excellent example of a bad movie that brings joy and happiness to everyone in the room. So for this flop house movie minute, I would like to say good night and watch Twin Sitters. This summer, Twin is in. Twin Sitters. you
