Starting point is 00:00:00 All good shock tobers must come to an end with our discussion to the flop house. Oh man that's a spooky voice. I'm Dan McCall. McCill. I'm Stewart Welley done. I'm Elliott Kaelin. Let's not play this game, Dan. You don't want to have spooky Halloween style name. We already have spooky names. Me and you had told us that we were going to be doing it so I could fucking practice. You think of a name. Come on, Burt Skellington. It's right. It's too late. It's too late. We already fucked it up forget it Dan. It's over
Starting point is 00:01:07 It's you've got easy ones Yeah for you maybe Dan McCoy. There's basically nothing you can do with me We don't sit it damned McCobb McCobb We don't sit around damn to McCobb I'm practicing our crypt keeper in the mirror all night and accidentally somebody candy man or something Yeah, how many times did you do that, Dan? Oh, man. What kind of idiot accidentally summons candy man? He's he's I don't know me now. Yeah, because you're wasting his
Starting point is 00:01:32 time. And he kills people. Like he just keeps cutting you as a slag every time he shows up and you're like, nope, it was a mistake. I was just doing a grip keeper thing. Oh, Dan. Like four times. Come on, man. Most of that is the idea that the Cryptkeeper summons in the enemy man. Yeah, for parties and stuff. The thing that the Cryptkeeper does. So I had a...
Starting point is 00:01:56 It didn't cross over Fanfiction I wrote. My Cryptkeeper, Cani Man, Fanfiction. Welcome back to the flop-os or welcome here for the first time. If you've never been here before. Or don't welcome if you're not here if you Are about to turn it off if you're not here. Fuck you. You don't know what you're missing a bold statement But this is the podcast where we watch bad movie and we talk about it and it's shocked tober the most wonderful time of the year Oh Oh Oh The world Stuart saying boogins is very frightening very frightening so tonight we watched a scary movie
Starting point is 00:02:33 We watched some my called a horror movie some my car called a horrible movie We watched the devil inside and let me tell you the scariest thing about the devil inside was the difficulty We went through to try and get this movie that true there were a number of technical difficulties that dan soldiered through and he like a like a brave boy he got it all fixed out and called the cable company on demand cable was not working so we can like that way the uh... the definition of first world problems the streaming uh... the streaming of movies through my my uh... my media center. That would be working out better.
Starting point is 00:03:06 It's almost like God was reaching out to tell us, don't waste your time with the devil inside. He was saying that the Vatican does not endorse this movie, so you shouldn't watch it. Once, I started downloading the devil inside from Amazon to watch on the computer, so we could all huddle around the computer and watch it. Yeah, like a bunch of college students.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And then once we got the The cable backup and running we wanted to watch on the regular television Which both of which meant that we downloaded the devil inside at full price So we've paid twice for the devil inside which is three times more than you should so yeah Hopefully the people listening at home will not even download Yeah, so one of the few movies that that the producer should pay America reparations. For some reason you cannot rent the devil on site, even though it's been out on DVD since May. So we spent $30 to acquire this movie.
Starting point is 00:03:56 To acquire you our loyalist. 83 minutes worth of movie. So that's... That's the last math, come on. Well, look, let's just say that if it was a 90-minute movie, that would be three minutes per dollar. Wait, hold on. No, you did that totally wrong.
Starting point is 00:04:14 So anyway, so it's called Devil and Zide. So Devil and Zide is one of those found footage movies here. Yeah, it's like it's made up out of a... You find the footage. A found it on your fucking television. Television, three or whatever. Oh. No, but it's in the, it's in the,
Starting point is 00:04:30 the tradition of your Blair Witch Projects is, and your, what, sessions, some things. Activities, paranormal. Your session sevens. Your sessions seven. Your, your last exorcisms. Your Apollo's 18. Yeah. Your, your, Cooper's Christmas. questions seven year uh... your uh... lasts exercises your appalows eighteen uh... yeah
Starting point is 00:04:48 cooper's christmas that's it jason jones movie uh... your uh... your trolls hunter your trolls yeah exactly uh... yeah it's uh... you're just no no it's not a right we're waiting to disturb you now i was going to say district nine but it's not really a found footage movie. No.
Starting point is 00:05:05 It's just a shaky camera movie. It's just a faux documentary. But any who? Yeah, so it's set up as if it really happened, but it's easy to tell it didn't really happen because it's super shitty. Everything looks incredible. It was shot in the new horror technique, incredible. Which makes real things look like fake movie things.
Starting point is 00:05:26 It sends a tingle up your spine that tells you this is a terrible movie. This is a movie shot on location in Rome, and for some reason that makes it look cheaper. Yep, it creates that queasy feeling in the bottom of your stomach when you realize you probably rented the wrong movie. Yeah, 30 dollars. On a movie that Dan has been talking about for weeks. Well, this movie has, I mean, we'll get to it. We should tell the true story of the release. This movie is a infamously...
Starting point is 00:05:55 This is, while we can say, this movie is infamous, the release itself is infamous. It was not reviewed for critics, and it was the number one movie at the box office, the weekend it came out. And I remember seeing the trailer shoot. They didn't want to scare the shit out of it. They thought it was too scary for the critics. Well, they sold it paranormal activity style of like, you know, like showing shots of the audience being freaked out.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yeah. And I remember the trailer having moments in it that was like, okay, well, this could be scary. But it is. The advertising was well done. The advertising was very well done and it was not reviewed. So nobody, people thought it was going to be like paranormal activity and they were going to be spookily scarified in flop house terms. But instead-
Starting point is 00:06:37 They were going to be warmly boned. Exactly. They were- They were dungeon-ly depressed and disappointed at a terrible movie uh... so it went from uh... number of the box office then the between week one week two it dropped roughly seventy five percent in terms of its money it made and then it kind of disappeared
Starting point is 00:06:57 and what was the other movie that it was the biggest drop it between first and second weeks since the jones brothers three-de-con concert movie which is more of an event than a movie. Sure. Something that you would expect to drop. Yes. That's another movie where they made it seem like it really happened but it didn't really happen. Yeah, that was all found, faked found footage and they didn't reveal the specifics.
Starting point is 00:07:19 The Jonas Brothers, there are no Jonas Brothers, so that's all Andy Circus. Yeah, and they made it look like it was going to be really scary. Mm-hmm. But this, the movie is especially for its ending reviled. And maybe we should go through the plot for anyone who hasn't seen it. Oh, it will take a nary a minute. So we open with some found footage of a police crime scene walk through and an old local news story.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Turns out a woman murdered three people to priests and a nun during what turns out to have been in elicit exorcism she was put into a mental home and then for some reason sent to a hospital in Italy in Rome now it's the year two thousand nine her daughter has decided that phones are all the rage i phones are all the rage everybody is talking about this new president Obama and the real estate market has not yet returned to its full power. Employment is at roughly 8% 8.5% and no it will be six years later when that happens. I believe if I remember correctly, I think that's in the year 2015 history books
Starting point is 00:08:26 each of your history books Read your history books with the making of backstitching the Biff verse. Yes Exactly until Marty gets that sports all night Biff's economic plan was his sports gambling based economic plan with Consisting a national economy. We're in a bit of Biff Stopia right now. I mean, really, we're all to blame for Biff's election. We worked a little bit harder. We could have won a lot.
Starting point is 00:08:54 But it's just that we all underestimated him. And his vice president also Biff. Vote for me for the bad Biff. His campaign slogan, hello, hello hello america anyone home and make like a tree and get out of here you promised to put a second coat of wax on america but he didn't he didn't fulfill that promise
Starting point is 00:09:21 oh so make like a drum and leave. So it's the Biff first. So anyway, it's 2009 and this woman's now grown daughter, a cute brunette. And I only describe her that way because it's the only personality trait she has. Decides that alongside a documentary and filmmaker, she's going to go to Rome and find out what happened, why this exorcism. They go and literally they're in Rome for about a minute before they walk into a secret exorcism classroom. Win and Rome guys, right? That's what it means. And they meet up with two rogue priests,
Starting point is 00:10:00 a an Englishman and an American who have been doing some secret underground exorcisms on the side they go to the basement of an Italian family where there's a girl who's been possessed and they perform an exorcism where she bleeds profusely from the crotch and shouts at them and contorts her body and crawls up a wall but they eject the demon from her yeah but because I ever since the exorcists everyone all women who are possessed there's some sort of crash involvement to be fair i think the demons are probably interested in crutches yeah i mean the demons do
Starting point is 00:10:32 yeah now i don't know what's the positive that you know that now the girl has also visited her mother in the mental home her mother doesn't remember her and talks and weird things and has carved upside-down crosses on her arm and yeah and her inner leg. Yeah, something and she screams and imagines kind of banshee from the X-Men siren from, you know, a number of teams way. So they hook up with these two rogue priests, they go to the exercise.
Starting point is 00:10:58 And which at this point, you're like, okay, I'm into this. You got, it's like a little buddy exercise. You're like, this is kind of a slow movie there's not a lot going on until the scare scenes and even those are not great but whatever okay they go to the hospital and they perform the success on the first exercises and make them think hey let's do this exercise on this lady they get cocky they're going to examine the mom
Starting point is 00:11:20 turns out she's super possessed yeah and is screaming and pushing people around but they manage to state her and they get kicked out of the mental hospital but uh-oh looks like the demon has followed them one of the priests almost drowns a baby while he's baptizing it and the best thing about the movie is that the baby's name is John Thomas so a couple times he says he says John Thomas I baptize the and it's hilarious it's like he's baptizing his own weener Honestly, I don't know how they could have given the baby that name unless they were so bored making this movie
Starting point is 00:11:51 Well, it's a traditional Italian name, right? No, it is not Performs that baptism in English, which is also pretty common. Yeah, very common Then he comes back home. He's in trouble the police the name was a weener very common. Then he comes back home, he's in trouble. The police. The name was a weiner schlaunthrift. He must have escaped or something, because the police seems to have had no problem escaping the scene of almost murdering a baby, where there are many other people around him. He goes home and goes upstairs and is unhappy and slashes his wrist. Then he has demon eyes. His pupils are all rolled back. So I'm too lazy looking Italian police come
Starting point is 00:12:22 in. And he takes their gun and shoots himself in the head with it then A the demon seems to jump to the to the girl And in the meantime, there's been like like our our gang of Exorcists and documentarians. Yeah has gotten You know, there's been a lot of discord and a lot of strife between them. They're divided. They're doing a bunch of real-world-style confessionals to the camera where they complain about each other. I think they're kind of like three minutes worth.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Yeah, it's not really that much. It's more of a Blair Witch project, type confessionals, where they complain about each other, but they're making complaints that we have not seen. Like, they're complaining about things that we know nothing about, and they seem to come out of nowhere. Then, so the girl gets all crazy-fied, they take her to the hospital where she flips out, she's possessed, she's contorting all around.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Aaaaah! She kills somebody. Let's get her into the car and drive her somewhere so we can exercise her. They're in the car, she starts flipping out and the spirit seems to jump to the guy who's driving. He takes off a seat belt and then he crashes the car and car rolls over a bunch times and the screen goes black and it says for more about for more about the ongoing investigation into the sexism go to this website and at the end of the movie and this ending for a friend someone i know who i work with is a friend of mine saw the movie the theaters and was gleefully telling me
Starting point is 00:13:43 that i have one how bad it was into how the movie just abruptly ended and told you to go to a website and the audience booed it lustily Like the only proper response to the to a movie Punking out on you and then telling you oh if you want to know what happens next go to a website is to boo it like you just have to I'm gonna go to our movie go daddy commercial Exactly to be fair to the movie what happens next is those characters get buried because they're all dead there did yeah so it's a short stupid movie and there a couple okay uh... like scare effects like when the guy shoots himself in the head it's a very
Starting point is 00:14:17 good blood effect they have a real contortionist who does who does contouring she does great work and uh... like there's something kind of john thomas joke that was hilarious that was solid the first time when the girl goes to visit her mother it is a kind of a creepy scene there's a real tension in the air because you don't know yet how shitty the movie is going to be and that it's not going to pay off this tension yeah
Starting point is 00:14:40 and the shot of her showing you know the inside of a lip where there's a cross carved is is kind of a gross creepy moment but otherwise not like going out in this movie they're so little in this movie it's kind of amazing that it's a movie that exists and got a pamphlet yeah I mean in the middle there's a pamphlet we probably wouldn't be reviewing no that would be for a pamphlet cast the flop cast you know I was actually called also called the flop house.
Starting point is 00:15:05 It was put out by the paranormal activity, like production company, right? Like the same producers, same sort of shit. I don't know if they made it though. No, I mean, I know, but I think that they thought they could capitalize on it. So maybe that's how they thought that they could put out a movie with so little plot. I guess so. Okay. Here's how you know this movie has nothing the cover of the DVD which was also one of the posters is a none with no pupils and it looks like she's been possessed that image of that none of the pupils occurs for about 10 12th of a second as the main
Starting point is 00:15:39 characters walking along a bridge in this group of nuns and one turns to look at her and she's got no pupils. I mean, they're like cataracts or something. Yeah, I think she's just blind, but it's that never comes back, but it's the main image on the cover. I mean, you assume that she also has a devil inside, right? Well, according to, uh, in excess, I think we all have a devil inside. Okay, every single one of us, a devil inside. Mine is a Tasmanian devil. Mine's what, like, the trapeze red devil the hot sauce Are those the red devil paints devil?
Starting point is 00:16:10 Just do it. No, I got one of those contortionist devil. Oh, that's too bad So I'm gonna go practice Yeah, you have a Jim Rose circus of freaks performance later. Oh Man, so that's the whole movie. The whole film. And it is a very poorly made movie. I mean, I mean, it's a documentary.
Starting point is 00:16:32 We did it in Italy. They did make it in Italy. But for some reason, it means the first thing you think is, huh, I guess most of the budget went to their tickets to get to Italy because it's not. Why, why did they take it to Italy? Because it's part of the part of the mystery is is oh, and they're trying to make it more exotic and
Starting point is 00:16:48 More satiny by putting it near the Vatican. You'd wonder why the devil is hanging out why so many demons are hanging out near the Vatican Like there's a thing in the beginning. Go somewhere else like go to Japan. Yeah, they wouldn't have no idea what to do Come on. They just think you're you know regular Japanese demon There was a disclaimer at the beginning of this movie that like oh no no bava great whatever yeah that was like uh you know like the Vatican had nothing to do with this movie it doesn't prove it or whatever and uh i kind of feel like if if i if i were in charge of catholicism which i guess that means i was the pope okay yeah i would yeah i think guess
Starting point is 00:17:23 that's who who's in charge i would not discourage this sort of thing. Like if everyone thought that like that mine was the most awesome religion because we had supernatural powers that could like protect you from demons and stuff, well, I would not discourage that thought. I'm willing to bet the Vatican didn't make an official ruling on this movie. I think they probably just said that. Yeah, you don't think that you don't think the Pope screamed this? Just like how-
Starting point is 00:17:48 Not a thing! Just like how far you're from it. It's not a my kind of thing. I know I'm a German, but I'm talking like this because I'm in Italy. When you become a Pope, you automatically start talking like this. I'm a boy like an angel. I'm trying to apportile comedies. They say they're gross, but they got a heart
Starting point is 00:18:06 Mama Mia pizza pies That's what he's saying all the time. Yeah, Carol Bunga pretty dude Don't have a cow man that kind of stuff That's the Pope for you. Did I do that got me cheese? Yeah, baby That's your pump right there. You know what I said, when I was in Italy, that we did have a tour guide who would say,
Starting point is 00:18:34 mom and me a lot, but it was very clear. It's like, okay, well, he's doing this bandard. Now, when you were in Italy, did you get possessed by a demon? Because according to this movie, there's just devils run around. The thing is, they can't leave Italy, so once I just got on the plane, they just left my body. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:18:49 That's an amazing thing. What did it feel like when you had the devil inside you? Kind of warm. Okay. So net positive, then. Yeah. Well, I run kind of hot anyway, so I mean, it was 99 degrees in Italy. Wolf in the shade. Yikes.
Starting point is 00:19:03 So here's the thing about the movie. It's not a bad concept because it because the idea is that these two priests are performing unauthorized exercise. Black market exercise. Black market exercise, which is a great premise. They use a combination of medicine and like scientific equipment and supernatural stuff, which is basically ghost busters. A little bit of constantine thrown in there.
Starting point is 00:19:23 A little bit of constantine, a little a little bit of constant team little bit of ghost busting and that's again not a bad premise but they do it so poorly the characters are so thin and unlikeable and shrill and just off-putting and the story is not there's no progression of the story or anything there's no like clues or anything like that no it's a little research on this movie online while watching. And
Starting point is 00:19:45 I read I have this book, the necronomic con. Let me read to you from it. Fattang, Raleia, no, Dan, you live in a portal. I don't worry. I got the, I got the words to shut it down. Cladu, Barata. No. Well, actually, those are depends on what movie whether those are good or bad. I'm running him. Um, I'm not interrupting him. Glad to be brought a necktie. Yep, that's what he says in the movie. So, you were doing some research? No, I just, I, some she search.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I couldn't find a lot of it online. It's because you were looking at Mr. Skin. Yeah. I turned to my first movie database source Mr. Skin. Wasn't there, so I went to celebrity movie archive. Wasn't there, so I went to my first movie database source, Mr. Skin, wasn't there. So I went to celebrity movie archive, wasn't there. So I went to nude skins, wasn't there. Nitro video, wasn't there.
Starting point is 00:20:31 The thing about, like, I assume... Eventually, I ran out of porn sites that collect scenes, nude scenes, or movies. I assumed that why the character development was so bad in this movie was that the actors were improvising all of it, but I could not find any confirmation of that online. I'm going to have to go to curb. Yes, but with unskilled improvisers.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Well, I mean, it could have been done like that. That's the way Blair Witch was done. And I don't know if paranormal activity was done the same way, but it was also, so it didn't feel improvised to me. It felt poorly written. I just, like whenever they were started like saying something about another character that we had never seen before, to me just felt like an actor reaching for something, like what can I complain about this person?
Starting point is 00:21:20 I'm gonna make up this thing. It's possible that it was a mixture of the two. Like it's possible that they had to throw in some exposition shit so that it ties it together and has some kind of a mythos that they're trying to use, like referencing the classroom, the exorcism class, of course, which is exactly like all the college classes I ever took. Well, that's an interesting thing to talk about.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Early on in the movie, we're led to believe, I guess, that the Catholic Church doesn't want to talk about exorcism. And then she just walks into the camera. With a camera, yeah. Into a, into the, the postal school. Yeah. And then into just a classroom where there's an exorcism class going on. And the first thing the, the teacher is priest I'm guessing is talking about is, well, he did have a clerical collar so I think I guess correctly He's like oh so there in this case. There's multiple demons like I don't know that would be awesome if I was in that class I want to talk about multiple deal. It would be an awesome class. It's not real though Here's my here's maybe my guess as to why
Starting point is 00:22:24 There are a lot of scenes that seem to refer to behavior we haven't seen yet. You don't usually set out to make a movie that's 83 minutes long. I'm guessing they realized they had a super turd on their hands and chopped a lot of material out of this movie so that it was mostly scares with a little bit of filler in between. That's my guess. Yeah, maybe it's not true. I hope producers of a whole bunch of super scares out. That's my guess. Yeah. Maybe it's not true. I hope the producers of- Maybe it is another whole bunch of super scares out. Maybe it was too scary. Yeah. It was like the film in the cigarette burns episode of Masters of Horror. It was so scary.
Starting point is 00:22:54 You just couldn't watch it. It melts your brain. Yeah. It makes you put your intestines into a machine like- I could hear it. It'll cure those. The whole- Sure. Entrails through that machine. The projector. I made my own movie and- is like Udo we're not even filming this one And the film seemed to be of them capturing an angel and cutting his wings off, right? Which is not that scary Yeah, I mean it seemed pretty normal Yeah, I've seen why watch movies like that all the time I mean, that's that's a she'll fetish though what angel D-winging yeah, yeah, it's called right. Yeah wing wing taken wing
Starting point is 00:23:27 To me Angels fall angels to angels stripper by day By day hooker by night. She's very hard on your wife angels in the outfield time for them put those wings those fake wings on Yeah, and then you get a car for those things off You're okay with the bloodscording. This is a weird thing. What we're talking about. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Here's the thing about the movie. Yeah, it can't seem to make up its mind whether exorcisms are officially recognized or not, or like how public they are, how real priests think they are. Like, it would have been great if it set up some doubt earlier in the movie it's a harm movie you know there's going to be an exorcism and it's real otherwise it would be an even bigger anti-climax but even if the characters seem to buy into the
Starting point is 00:24:13 idea of exorcisms almost immediately which seems unrealistic to me at least as a 21st century human being living in America yeah I think I think a big problem with movies that at least for us intellectually we're not gonna buy the scares not right away intellectually scary for it has to build that through mood and it doesn't have that mood so it's like i'm in my head i don't believe in exorcisms or the devil and i but you know if the movie had a good move here something i'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I'm willing to go either way. I'm on the fence. Yeah. But it just doesn't build that atmosphere. Yeah, it doesn't allow you to get out of your head and just kind of have a gut reaction to it. Exactly. Yeah, the scares don't give you that visceral level.
Starting point is 00:25:00 And again, like there's some okay moments in the scares, but they're not like scary moments. It was mainly just cool contortionist moments. Yeah, cool. If it was this was a 40 minute video of what a contortionist can do, be a better movie. And I'll tell you what, if that contortionist was not bleeding from the crotch, even better. You know what? I'd say, I think I'd enjoy her contortionist act more if unlike in this movie there was not a river of blood throwing flowing through her pants that's the problem when she signed uh... contract with the devil that gave her contortionist
Starting point is 00:25:33 abilities that's you know that's uh... well then i would just recommend a thicker pad uh... so i guess we'll talk about that on a completely different part of our tampon review by the that i feel like the applicator pass we were uh... were ahead of schedule but i feel like there's so little save of the movie that i i want to apologize to you dan you seem so excited to see this movie for chak tober and yet
Starting point is 00:25:58 there's so little in it i want to apologize to you on behalf of the producers of the devil inside which i don't even know okay and i hope the listening so they can send you a check for a million dollars of which i want half to steal on behalf of the producers of the Devlin side, which I don't even know. Okay. And I hope the listening, as they can send you a check for a million dollars of which I want half. Look, I just, if they all, if they just send a check for the $30 that was spent.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Hey, don't under, don't under negotiate yourself. I mean, I paid for half of that. What do you, what do you think? I did. I don't think. Actually, this is the most exciting thing that happened all night after Dan's long trek and mission to get the tech up was literally like an hour and a half the most exciting thing was when Dan said Well, I'm not gonna pay again for this movie. So I said, you know what Dan?
Starting point is 00:26:33 I'll pay for it. I gave him $20. He gave me three ones, but he owes me a dollar And then so I said that's okay. You just owe me one more dollar Stuart said I'll buy Dan's mark from you. And the piece of paper on which I had written, Dan owes me a dollar. Stuart paid me a dollar for. And that, yeah, and that paper is currently resting in the pocket. I get to answer it. There is no, there is no interest on this. The big is pretty high. The big is very high. No, it's just that feeling of knowing that I can hold that over your head. I mean I can get rid of it anytime I have an issue. I haven't met now. I imagine Dan have four quarters in that Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I want paper money. Okay. I imagine Dan going to buy an ice cream cone from a truck and handing over the dollar bill
Starting point is 00:27:17 I'm so going and then handing the paper and taking the dollar bill and Dan walking away sad he can't afford a nice cream cone now for and taking the dollar bill and Dan walking away sad he can't afford a nice cream cone now. Do I wait can I also get nice cream? Oh of course it's your dollar now. Yeah I mean I'm clearly wealthy. Well with that or you pay for the ice cream with the mark. Oh wow so that guy. So now the ice cream man. You know ice cream man. Dan you're gonna want to buy that thing back you're not gonna want you don't know what boo this thing could fall to the hands of. Well that horrific scenario ringing in the listeners years we should move on to our final judgments about the devil inside I'm just called it the last exorcism like
Starting point is 00:27:56 keep saying that the other found footage exorcism movie which I assume was better it has to do better it was a better movie I saw that one so exorcisms is that a thing among you Christians like is that a thing you guys believe it? No, that's like it's not like Protestants that is not a thing. That's why I was saying so what a Protestants do when you get a demon inside you We don't we don't do it. I mean we answer that I think we tend to Honey, I don't want to go out again tonight, but there's a demon inside me. Yeah I got a boogie Yep swing dangling thing I guess in this case. It's a lot of emotional repression and cast roles if I recall
Starting point is 00:28:31 So it's really your inner demons yeah and cast roles. Yeah Smother it with cast role because I gotta say the worst the worst that I have to look forward to as a Jew is maybe a Dibbick like haunting me a little bit. No more dbic talk around here. Sorry. Stuart has to sleep tonight. I want to get spooked out of the gourd. Never get to bed. If I'm thinking about dbics, floating around unable to interact with the physical world.
Starting point is 00:28:58 It's horrible. Anyway, Dan, final judgments. Is it scary or is it awful? Is it spookly funny? judgments is it is it scarily awful is it spookily funny or is it Ridingly kind of good hottingly okay, so is it ghostly satisfactory Or is it horrifically four out of ten was this movie totally Scarefying okay frighteningly funny or totally snorifying we would just look at what
Starting point is 00:29:28 totally terrifying is the good one that's that with it no really I'm fucking this is a snorifying movie yeah it's I think we get all agree it's norifying yeah let's just make a pact this is snorifying and the last one of us who dies will get the movie yeah it's not fine i'll say i'll say the thirty dollars ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha flop-ass fans if you're looking to do a waste 83 minutes your life that you're never getting back and occasionally occasionally during that movie you'll see that a three minutes you'll see a cute lady because which is not something you see in movies often if you just want to look at stuff on your phone for a three-minute and have a movie playing in the background I mean it'll do I guess walk, don't run to pay $15 or 30 for the devil inside. Yeah, you want to do formats.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Oh, yeah, this is a keeper. So, Dan, how long is it going to be pretty to lead this from your computer? I mean, I paid for that devil inside. So forever. Yeah. He's going to hold onto it, even though you're never going to want to.
Starting point is 00:30:43 He's going to buy a separate hard drive. That's like gold. That's like gold. I'll only appreciate in value. Nope. The devil inside has never been worth zero It is the word opposite of our reviews. Oh It was bad. Oh I see Before we move on to our letters. I just want to take care of a little business Called biz keep the lights to keep the lights on, to keep this podcast running. To keep the home fires burning.
Starting point is 00:31:08 I want to keep the tires light the fires. Plug a plug a few things on behalf of our benevolent overlords over there at all things comedy. And pals. Yeah, and friends. I think more business-as-so-the-t friends. Yeah, we're like a team. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:22 A team. A team. A team of podcasters just looking to lose it in teawana before college for lovers of of oh god no for lovers of stand-up comedy you might enjoy the these iTunes comedy album releases from our all things comedy pal and for lovers of meat you like might like meat lover's pizza you You got a, you got your RE Shaffir with the album Revenge for the Holocaust. Very, very edgy. And Tom Segura, the album is Girls with Corn Rose.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Also edgy. Look for those available in iTunes and getting good reviews over there. Yeah, check out some of our sister podcasts under under the all things comedy banner floppasena Uh, you got your billbirds Monday morning podcast. When's that on? Uh, I assume Monday morning. I guess it's a I guess it's on the internet. Yeah, it's a podcast. It's on all the time. You also got your Harland highway hosted by mr. Harland Williams. I saw him perform at the Montreal Comedy Festival about 11 years ago. 10 11 years ago and he was very funny and then disgusting and then funny. He told the most audience displeasing joke I think I've ever seen and then won the audience back. I was amazed. I was amazed.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I'm not going to tell the joke because it was horrible. But it was just offensive in every way. But then you were making me love this man. But then he won us back and I didn't think it could be done. And this was late at night. We wanted to go home. We retired and yet he kept going and he won us back. Even my mom thought it was funny. So those are just two of the great podcasts you can find over it. All things comedy.com. But now we turn to our letters segment, the Flop House Movie Mailbag. Yep, the Movie Mailbag. We call it the first year of Mew, the Flop fans. In the form of letters, in a movie mailbag, we call it. Sometimes Ellie, it's brother just sends in a letter.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Talking about sports or shit. Sometimes they sing a song, we call it. Sometimes Ellie, it's brother just sends in a letter. Talkin' about sports or shit. Sometimes I sing a song, but I won't this time, because of the one iTunes review that said, it stopped listening because of the quote, songs about letters. If that was the one reason, then. Well, also I'm tired. This letter is from Seth Lastname with Hell.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Rogan. It's titled, Stop Stealin' My Voice, Stewart. uh... this letter is from sat last name with help rogan it's titled stop stealing my voice to work it's title steward is a gang member a year ago oh mystery sounds like one for the flop house mystery club to the district ban
Starting point is 00:33:59 uh... this is uh... it says steers floppers it was with horror that i recently read the report generated by the fby's organized crime task force declaring juggalos again oh no i don't know if it's true it identifies as ethnically juggal it has affected his life does he fear for his life without patrolling his turf is engaging in illegal
Starting point is 00:34:22 bananas muggling perhaps the disguise might be I perhaps the skies as a juke German brew master is tough is enough but I'm worried that Stewart may be in for a long tough road next thing you know he'll be on a juggerlo reservation and history books will discuss the talk time known as the trail of beers your pal sat last name with the trail of clown, your pal sat last night with hell. The trail of clowns. Yeah, I mean, it's tough on the juggler reservation. They drink fego, I believe. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:51 If I recall, there's a lot of fego addicts. Fire soda, they call it. And unlike other reservations, there's a lot of methamphetamines. Yeah, it's what's hardest for the jugglers is that now is a gang. They're on the FBI's no meth list, along with everyone else in America, in not being allowed to use meth. I'll lean after the jugglers around the FBI's least one of the ways. So.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Sorry, these are your people, Stuart. I apologize. It's okay. I've kind of divorced myself culturally from them, although once again, ethnically, yeah. With Shaggy too dope, just too dope for you. Exactly, yeah. And to Shaggy.
Starting point is 00:35:27 That's a thing. And what's the other guy's name? Killer Crown, Clown Crazy or something? It is. Yeah, I think it's Violent J. Violent J, that's what it is. The J stands for just kidding. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Let's go on. This next letter is called Daily Showstoppers. This is an older letter. This is about me again, guys. This is an older letter which will become clear once I started to read it. So, who do you guys think will win in the 2008 election? I mean, it hasn't happened yet. Well, I mean, in the letter, it says it.
Starting point is 00:36:03 All right. 2008. To that generation. Forget it says it. All right. 2008. To that ventilation. Forget it, guys. It was a joke. It was a Stewart might say a bit. Yeah, it's a bit. Yeah, that's why they pay you the big money over there.
Starting point is 00:36:15 He says, I wanted to congratulate Dan on his recent appearance on the daily show. It's a Republican undermining the very foundation of democracy by promoting voter fraud. By the way, looking good Dan, and I'm not just saying that to ensure my letter gets read on the podcast. Yes you are. Still not, I still think Dan wrote that part. This appearance gave me even more lines than in his appearance as the singing dancing Santa Claus as the most inexplicable joke in daily show history. Interestling Lea Tart. But it goes on to say now that... Now that Dan and Hollywood Kaelin have had multiple on-air appearances
Starting point is 00:36:50 they both seem destined to become the latest and long line of daily show staffers that have appeared in bad movies or flops, if you will. John Stewart himself voiced a character in DuGle. John Oliver played Dick Pants in the Love Guru. Asaf Monty was in the last Airbender. White Synac was the lead in Beverly Hills Cop Legacy. And of course, I wish that
Starting point is 00:37:11 was true. And of course, Al Madrigal starred in the hit film of Liza and Illusions. What kind of bad movie will you like to star in and work to become a flop would you potentially review it on the podcast? Of course, Stewart is included in the question even though the nudity-based reality series he's going to star in and will leverage his awesomeness into a movie career has not yet been created yeah wormy sure it's called uh... thanks for the last and catch you on the flopside stefan last name with held thanks stefan well i know what movie I would want to be in theater wrecks to baby wrecks it's a pretty well about when
Starting point is 00:37:43 theater wrecks was just a hatchling And I play his stern babysitter who also is the team up with him to stop a crime So you're not actually theater Rex what's that gonna be animatronic? Yeah, like in the movie theater Rex it's a guy in an animatronic suit Even as a hatchling so is it gonna be like a kid or a midget? It's gonna be a full grown man and then they're gonna use hobbit technology to shrink him Okay, he's not just gonna be on his knees the whole time. It's not, no, it will be because Tim Conway has Dwarf as Theodore X. It's an interesting
Starting point is 00:38:12 concept that Tim Conway is not playing Theodore X. Dwarf is playing Theodore X. And Tim Conway is playing Dwarf. It's a Matroshka role. I would like to play the Wisecracking cop in a 90s cinematics style film about a series of stripper killings. Okay. Actually, you know what I'd rather be in a in a Outs cinematics series where it's one of those ones where it's a repackaged movie with scenes from 90s cinematics shows. So it's a lot of people just sitting around going, I knew this couple once,
Starting point is 00:38:47 and they told me the craziest story, and then it just cuts to a sexy. I wanted to do it. And then when it cuts back, the other people go, wow, that story was hot. You say that I wanted, I for a long time, wanted to do a stand-up bit about that very same thing. Like, what is going on there?
Starting point is 00:39:03 What story are they telling? Were they there watching that? No, they always say they told me about or they usually say. And I was like what are they describing when it's like yeah that's what I wanted. I wanted them head sex. Okay first he was on top. He was on top but then she was he was behind her and then she was on top and then For a brief time they were doing reverse cowgirl, but all throughout it one of them had their hands in front of their genitals Yeah, so you couldn't actually see and it feels like it was curiously edited down for some reason And where the penis seems like it should be going into the vagina
Starting point is 00:39:38 It seemed like it was actually going into more of like I don't know the belly button region And there was an irritating rock and roll song that I've never heard anywhere else and never will hear anywhere again that is a hot story why are we talking about six stories i don't remember well time to have sex i guess credits so still what movie would you be in well i would either want to be the guy who's killing all these strippers and dance moves. The house cat killings. Or I would want to be the evil land developer in the bikini car wash, Seagull.
Starting point is 00:40:13 I want to be the guy who has a model made of the bikini car wash and there's just shot to me smashing it with my hand with my eyes full of fury. You do realize that you will have to be pushed in a pool eventually. That's fine. Okay, you're totally comfortable with that. I'll do my own stunt, I think. And at the end when they've defeated you,
Starting point is 00:40:33 you can go like the stunt where they smash their boobs against your head. And you go bikinis. I howl and unforgiving guys. You rage impotently. Yep, all these things. This next all the bikini games workshops company This next letter is from
Starting point is 00:40:55 As you know me and by the name of Elliott's brother David last name with hell. Oh god last name is Kaelin And it's titled The Truth About Elliot and the Paper Mill Playhouse. Dear my favorite flappers and also my brother. Hey. Initially, I was going to write in regarding Suda Rapper, Chet Hayes. As a member of the Northwestern community, I've been well aware of the excitement and subtle condescending mockery surrounding Hayes among in you alumni. And I was a vagal in my personal opinion as resident irritator of the show yeah what's more I was going to avoid mentioning anything about sports even though with
Starting point is 00:41:32 Northwestern football ranks for the first time in the eight people rank for the first time in the eight people in four years and one win away from first six o'clock starts since nineteen sixty-six years all I hear is it's like a good it's like a parent on the peanuts TV show bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb by the way I saw Dave recently at your there's get show and day was very dismayed by the thought that his letter would be read at a time where the football stats would be out of date but he is my brother I can understand that that's the football stats would be out of date ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha constantly expressing frustration whenever I write in. I was mentioned not once, not twice,
Starting point is 00:42:25 but three whole times in a man of roughly 20 minutes. How is it that my letters are so distinct? So he's like candy man. If we mentioned three times, he writes in. That's what we got to remember that fellow. Let's stop at two mentions. How is it my letters are so distinct? And yet you can't help but talk about me all the time. Is it possible that three amazes aren't enough to convince Elliot that he is no longer standing and by considering the larger shadow? Note, the shadow was mostly larger because I'm three inches tall as I am here.
Starting point is 00:42:52 That's true. In addition, I really can't approve of Elliot obscuring the truth about his past when discussing his date to see newsies at the Paper Mill Playhouse. Just why is it that Elliot mentioned and halfway his history of performing there, but not his own? Is he ashamed of his performance as the mayor of Munchkin Land, the 1991
Starting point is 00:43:10 shoulders production of Christmas in the land of Oz? What is he hiding? What do Elliott and the flop stream maybe did not want us to know? Perhaps you can get to the bottom of this instead of distracting the audience with baseless attacks on yourself and appointed on butsman sincerely elliott's brother uh... p.s. there's no reason to write in regarding orangutans but because there are almost no sports team name for primates england's heartlepool fc is not a monkey hangers and pitzer x-ray cancass is nicknamed the gorilla's
Starting point is 00:43:40 what about nvp most valuable primates decide from that the basketball ducking gorilla mask out for the the Phoenix Suns is really as close to sports as a rangatans kid There was no reason for intervention that I think I was the mayor of Munchkinverse or something Yeah, but they wrote the Munchkinverse You were the top Munchkin? I remember it now the reason I didn't mention before is because I had forgotten it And I am ashamed of my performance in that when I was a, and my brother and I were both in a paper mill kids, like acting program.
Starting point is 00:44:11 And I had what I don't have now, which is, well, yeah, I had chops back then. Back then I had very horrible stage fright and nervousness, and I did not enjoy doing it. It was one of the things that I wanted, the joy of performing, but I did not have the confidence confidence and that I now have where I can get on a stage and it's like whatever I don't care I'll perform it to stage But back then I was very nervous and they slowly chip away at my lines of dialogue throughout rehearsals as I was More and more nervous about performing them I also remember that the woman running the program we had a final rehearsal the night before the show where
Starting point is 00:44:46 the entire audience would be our families there was no way it's not like the local press was sending a a reviewer uh... known as buying tickets and i remember we had a rehearsal and then the woman ran the program took us out of the room and said that was the worst performance i've ever seen and like brow beat us for a while that how bad we were how ashamed we were going to be in front of our parents and I think that combined with my stage fright
Starting point is 00:45:06 Let me do never do it again, but my brother did do it again and played the part of it was either a dog or a parrot in a play based on James Thurber's the 12 clocks or 13 clocks so happy ending Kind of I get for David, but that's a great story But we never performed on the main stage of the paper no playhouse I imagine all of you kids by the way like staying up all night to get the first notices the next morning Yet sardis junior How the weekly reader is finally out they pandas the pity saver Half off bananas
Starting point is 00:45:43 That's a little we'll never shop in this town again. I've saved the most heartwarming of the letters from last. Even more heartwarming than my brothers, rambling about primates in this in-moment major league sports. More heartwarming than that. This one is from Maggie Last Name withheld. The cat. J-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j- This one is from Maggie last name withheld. The cat.
Starting point is 00:46:06 J-j-jillin-haw. Maggie Jillin-haw. It's titled First Flop House Baby. Okay, that's not entirely true, but now that I have your attention, I'm the Flop House fan responsible for the happiest millionaire episode, which I requested while my husband was stationed in Iraq. We remember it well. Thanks again, by the way.
Starting point is 00:46:23 He is home safe and sound, and we are expecting our first child in December. I remarked to a friend yesterday that if the baby weighs seven pounds, it will be a race between my husband and me to be the first to ask. Did someone say seven pounds? And our best Elliott Kaelin voice. Nice.
Starting point is 00:46:41 So I guess what I'm saying is, in a very special way, it will be like Elliott, and by extension extension the entire Floppy's family is Present for the birth of our first born if he seven pounds a miraculous December bird only that can be oh Just end December's when my birthday is yeah another Elliot Kaelin connection conspiracy perhaps or maybe you're possessing that baby Well, there's only one thing to do, get two underground priests to totally screw it up. But this movie have something to do with people being born at the same time as a demon? No.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Then why did he just say that? I don't know. That is delightful and heartwarming. And congratulations ahead of time on your upcoming bundle of joy. We're happy that I assume the flop house made it possible by adding that extra spice to the relationship on a very special night.
Starting point is 00:47:26 I assume that our discussion of the three-hour Disney musical, the happiest millionaire, is what led to... It's the boxing allocators, right? Yeah, the one where he boxes alligators, yeah. So you put on a little Marvin Gaye, two of them, put on the happiest millionaires. You have to put on that song about how great Detroit is. I assume. I mean, I think it was a pretty sexy episode.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Yeah. Well, Stewart did it entirely naked. Always. Dan did it wearing Stewart's clothes on top of his regular clothes. So he can get my scent on him. Yeah. Before I then tackle him and we wrestle him off. But that's gonna happen.
Starting point is 00:48:03 But that is. So congratulations and a puzzle to have. That's, that's gonna happen. But that is so congratulations and puzzle to have. That's that's pretty impressive. Steward, come on. What? Melt that icy heart. No, okay, you're right. Steward's not a fan of sex that's used for procreation. Exactly. He only likes it if it's for pleasure. Heed an ecstic pleasure.
Starting point is 00:48:22 For at least one party. So guys, that was a nice Shocktober letter segment. It was, are we done with the episode? All the, using your end of the episode voice. Well, I just feel sad, every new segment gets as close to the end of Shocktober. We can make Shocktober last longer for one. No, I mean, it's not like, the Shocktober magic doesn't transfer to other
Starting point is 00:48:45 mottos chok tober ends earlier every year we have to walk some of these other movies to watch like abduction and the vampire hunter movie with about the president that i like some other chok tover movies who cares actually watch uglos oh yes so guys what's your favorite memory about chok tover uh... well wait what we watched the time before this the raven
Starting point is 00:49:10 uh... like that more than this one okay me too uh... my favorite uh... memory was the chocked over miracle of you guys not getting super angry at me when took an hour and a half to get the film. I thought it was the other way around. You're the only guy to angry. You were. We were silently trying to eat our food. I was like, you were possessed by a demon.
Starting point is 00:49:32 I didn't accuse you. A DEMIC. I did not accuse you of being angry. I said there was nice that you didn't get you to be mad. Well, how could I, we were so scared of you and you were possessed. You were terrified. As when I thought you were done on the phone and when I walked into the room, I said, Hey, what else is new? And you went, stop it. As when I thought you were done on the phone and when I walked into the room I said hey
Starting point is 00:49:45 What else is new and you at stop it? And it was like okay, I'm sorry. I was receiving a long stream of letters and numbers from The person on the phone like 20 letters and numbers in a row that is my password Time won't have cable worst cable company. There is but dad was like can we make this password shorter than they're like no It's gonna be a completely long stream of Rant it's ten more numbers But the thing is Dan you have to understand it's really hard for Ellie and I to silently sit anywhere and not just a Yabber about bullshit. Yeah, it's what we like to do. That was the miracle, guys. And I appreciate the shock tober miracle.
Starting point is 00:50:26 So any who is the part of the podcast, where we talk about movies that we saw that we actually enjoyed, recommendations we call them. Okay, that's what they are. Because that's what that word means. Because we are recommending something. Anyone rare and to go? Well, you guys know that I'm totally into stuff from Japan, right? I am the ultimate otaku. Otaku, what are you doing here?
Starting point is 00:50:58 I'm back from Otacon wearing my Pikachu style spirit hood. So with that in mind, I would like to recommend a little movie called Giro Dreams of Sushi, a documentary about an expensive sushi restaurant in a subway. If you're way into food porn like Dan. If you take the word food out. Yeah, but Dan's always posting pictures of food on the Facebook That was like all the time Like constantly So if you like seeing pictures of delicious food you can eat
Starting point is 00:51:31 Watched your dreams of sushi if you like seeing an old Japanese guy who kind of looks like a turtle Like disapprovingly at people eating sushi watch your dreams of sushi If you want to see a telling commentary on the state of the Japanese tuna fishing industry, see your own dreams of sushi. Well, I want to see some outer space battles. Then see Locked Out. Yeah, see Space Jam. So, your own dreams of sushi, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Is it my turn now already? Yeah. Oh boy, I haven't seen anything lately that i really loved i just finished watching earlier a movie called terror in a texas town which was a uh... western with sterling haiden terror time no terror in a texas town that started out very good but it eventually settles into kind of a very formulaic story so it's not bad it's an eight-minute western so it doesn't take a lot of time uh... so if you like westerns i'd recommend that terror in a te so it doesn't take a lot of time. So if you like westerns, I'd recommend that terror in Texas town.
Starting point is 00:52:25 But for Shocktober's scaryness, I think I'll recommend a lesser John Carpenter film that I saw recently for the first time after putting it off for a long time, one Prince of Darkness, which is not one of his top tier movies, but still very entertaining. In a weird way, kind of scarier because the characters seem so flat and weird and you don't form an emotional connection with them so it's almost like... Phantasmagoric. Kind of, but almost like... Well that's a horror movie where a lot of stuff doesn't make sense but that works to its
Starting point is 00:52:58 advantage. It's a movie that has a lot of crazy ideas running around in it that are fun and the characters always seem a little bit removed from you so it adds to the weirdness of it. Yeah. And it's also a movie that really extends the opening credits. The opening credits are interspersed with the first scenes of the movie.
Starting point is 00:53:14 So John Carpenter's director's credit comes 10 minutes into the film and it starts right away with the credits. It's not like there's a credit sequence later on. Uh, but there's some good scares and some Gore effects. And the Alaskooper kill guy with a bicycle, and this is your best chance. Actually, the Alaskooper stuff was kind of lame, but all the other stuff was neat, and there's some neat mirror effects. And there's a... What? Actually,, great use of VHS video stock within a film. So there's some neat,

Starting point is 00:55:30 pretty much everyone who was not a major actor was just someone from Martha's Vineyard that spillboard was like, like early spillboard was a lot more experimental, I feel like it is filmmaking. He was a lot more 70s. Yeah, and it's like a lot more new Hollywood. Invade Martha, it's vineyard and give everyone a part in this movie and that's part of why jaws has such a lived in feeling like it feels like something that's actually taking place in this vacation community.
