The Flop House - The Flop House Movie Minute #9 - Twin Sitters

Episode Date: June 30, 2008

We briefly discuss a barbarian-sized hit. Also: fully clothed breasts!

And now the flop house movie minute. Hello, we're doing the most fly by night version of the flop house movie minute. We just watched Twin Sitters, the film that we have mentioned in passing on a number of flop house episodes and Stewart was kind enough to buy for me as a birthday gift. Well, it's fair to say that it did not disappoint. So I just want to quickly go around, around Rob and around table and say what our favorite element of Twin Citters was.

So I'm going to, I'll just start off my favorite element of twin-citters was that the love interest played by Rina Sofr who you may know as She was on the last season of 24 she was on heroes as Nathan Betrelli's wife the love interest dated both of the twin-citters, the two barbarian brothers, and she seemed equally interested in both of them, and even at the end of the film, she was happily dating one on one night and one on the next night, and the barbarian brothers appeared to be totally cool with that, and I think that's a pretty awesome, 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 Barbarian brothers choose nonviolent ways to deal with the various terrorists they have to fight. The terrorists, right? Were they terrorists, Dan? I have no idea. I can terror can They're basically terrorists. Okay, cool So I also like that when confronted with the FBI in when the FBI try and stop them from leaving so that they can go on their date They pull up cars and then the FBI drives or no wait the FBI drive the cars up I got mixed up and the the Barbarian brothers drive over and smash their cars with their giant monster truck.

And I think that's a crime. I think that's a crime, right? The FBI is probably going to arrest them there on this spot. Destruction of government property, oh, to 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 it wore 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 he went back in time and and defeated various different

Sherves and took their shares badge or something. I don't like he's an outlaw Like it like and like a gunslinger that kills Sheriff's and takes their badges He's got a lot of them That's a thing it wasn't the only it wasn't the only crazy out But I just wanted to give you a little bit of a taste, dear viewer or wait listener. It's a listener. Okay, LA go. I actually was going to bring up the outfits also. How much of a strong, 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 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 in action uh... there's a of 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 you would be there's a little bit of a slight what how can you be in two places at once? What manner of wizardry is this? How have you gained these powers of transportation, you know, and so forth? But they're just twins. This is not medieval. This isn't the America of 1994, which no, there's no trickery at all.

And you have to assume these people know that twins exist. They've seen full house. It's on theery at all, 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 are look at well enough night like to play the same character, 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 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 or some such also also the number of time this and any slapstick comedy are to you 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 who 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 for real ups or some shit, dude. You know, you know, kids, they're eating that like gogert, you know, the yogurt in a tube.

In 1994. Yeah. It was no gogurt you know the yogurt in a in a two yet the the other thing i'd like to bring up and uh... uh... it's not necessarily in relation to twin-citters but i think it's important is that uh... dan was earlier tonight and spouting some bullshit about how in the movie herbifully loaded uh... somebody on the internet told him that people use computers to make

lensi low-hands boob smaller somebody on the internet told him that people use computers to make Lindsay Lohan's boobs smaller. There's literally no evidence of this while watching the movie Herbie Fully Loaded. So viewers, you should watch Herbie Fully Loaded for boobs. Fair enough. Although I think that if you're just in the market for boobs, there are probably several places where he can get better a better return on your investment. If you're in that specialized market, which wants to see a young probably several places where he gets better a better return on your investment that's if you're in that specialized market which wants to see a young woman's boobs never unclosed and also a car that exhibits the emotions of and actions of a human being then herbie fully loaded is the place for you

fair enough well i just want to close by saying we've watched a lot of films on the full episodes of the flop house 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 Citters. And I'm still- wait, I'm still a Wellington.

Are we giving our names now? I'm Ellie Kaelin and this summer, Twin is in. Twin Cters.
