In this episode we get dangerous.
Bangkok Dangerous. Hey everyone and welcome to the flop house. I'm Dan McCoy. I'm Stuart Wellington.
I'm Elliot Kaylen.
We're coming at you from the center of the internet.
Yeah.
If I understand Galloway, I was teaching this correctly. The flop-houses right in the middle.
Yeah.
Well, he, it was actually told me originally suggested that.
Yeah, Cosmology of the Internet.
Yeah.
Wait, did the Internet back then, Dan?
They just called it the net.
Back in the olden days?
Yeah.
Wait, isn't that a standard Bullock movie?
You're thinking of miscon misconjuring alibi
what we watch not do we watch the little film called
bank cock dangerous
a movie that's uh... so dangerous it doesn't need any other words in that
title to make it like a
like a sentence that's actually complete thought well there isn't even i was
waiting for the point the movie where he goes this isn't just dangerous this is bank ok dangerous
yeah like that's a level of danger
uh... they didn't hit that point though right
uh... if they if it exists they did not hit it now
it was great it was exciting
it's starting nigglass case that's for sure
all did it and that haircut of it i don't know he was the lead character but i
know if you could say it's stars nigglass cage nigglass cage was in front of the
camera for most of the film.
There was a void at the center of this film.
And his name is Nick Cage.
Stuart, you did such a great job summing up, step up to the streets last time.
But I'm going to toss it over to you.
I know the alliates have done a lot of summing up, but I want to care you sum up.
Well, yeah.
Well, dangerous.
So first of all, Elliott, check this out.
Check this summary out.
Whoa, you're stepping up to me. Burn. Okay.
That's surprising. So the movie begins with Nicholas Cage. He's this bounty hunter, like
Hitman or something with a heart of gold in Prague, and he kills him, dude, when his
alarm rings, and then he kills like his messenger guy, and then he goes to Thailand to Bangkok specifically.
And he lives by certain rules.
Yeah, he's got some rules. Obviously he's a hitman.
He's a hitman in a film. He's got rules.
He's got cool hair. He's got rules like a normal hitman.
And then he finds this new messenger guy named Kong.
And you know, he's like never good attached to your messenger
or anybody at all.
Of course he breaks that rule. Almost instantly. Yeah and he starts teaching Kong the way of
the force of being a hitman and he falls in love with like ghost dog the way of the samurai except
for it's the way of Nick Cage as a hitman. Yeah and it's really his like and the best part about it was
when he like you know this this, his messenger gets beaten up.
So he shows up to talk to Nicholas Cage and Nicholas Cage,
you know, and he's like, hey, teach me or something.
And then Nicholas Cage's like a taxing with a knife.
And you're like, whoa, is he gonna kill him?
But of course, he doesn't.
And he like teaches him how to like avoid getting stabbed
with a knife.
And then he's like, oh, that was your first lesson.
It was really awesome.
So he goes on and he kills him, dude.
Well, you mentioned the love interest.
He has a love interest.
Absolutely.
He falls in love with his death check.
The likes of pharmacy.
At a pharmacy, yeah, he goes there because he gets his arm scratched really bad from a passing,
uh, like necklace vendor, I guess.
Yes, that's exactly what it was.
And, uh, so he had a weird moment with, yeah, it was weird.
But we're killing someone. He just was staring the face of this child's necklace vendor. that it was. And, uh, so he had a weird moment with. Yeah, it was weird.
But we're killing someone.
He just was staring in the face of this child's necklace vendor.
I like to think of her as a personification of destiny.
Oh, okay.
I would've said lost innocence.
No, destiny works, too.
Yeah, and because she's deaf, though, the love interest, she is a weakness for contract
killers.
Yeah.
Well, don't speak the same language as her.
He claims to be in banking.
That's true. Banking is dangerous. And he does a pretty good job of following that cover
story by not doing anything banking related. And dressing like a sloth all the time.
But how many jobs does he have to do in Bangkok? He has to do for exactly. The first three are
relatively simple except for a little bit of high-speed boat chasing anybody.
Yeah, and what how does he solve that problem?
By chopping off a dude's hand with a boat propeller and then shooting him in the head.
Okay, so fast forward, final person he has to kill is the prime minister of Thailand suckers.
Uh oh, and this is a country where you can be thrown in jail just for insulting the king of
Thailand. Yeah, let alone insulting the king of tailand
yeah let alone
murder a king of tailand
there's a king and he's more of a figurehead figure but there was like there's a story i think
was a danish guy who recently was thrown in jail for he was drunk and he defaced a poster of the
king of tailand and they threw him in jail and the danish embassy said now that we can do
like that's the law
i don't know if i stop talking about a better story that the one i don't know
if you listen to realize this but eliet is a genius
i mean who among us knew that i'll and had a king he just celebrated his sixtieth
year on the throne not too long like a
time and was uh... just a place that made really delicious food they do that too
my friend
i've had prostitutes yes they also have that
and had a silly named city capital. Yeah, so
Okay, so Bangkok ironically named city
If you like if you like getting your cock slammed by something
Like it like I draw or something
Yeah, you're saying sorry, okay guys chill out. I know it's hilarious. So
Okay, so he has to kill the prime minister of bankok and uh... kill
surprise he's unable to do it
uh...
he makes he uh... he accidentally kills a bunch of dudes right in front of his
death girlfriend who gets like mad and runs away
and then he uh... is unable to kill the president of tailand or whatever
and uh...
then like the mind i want to or whatever and uh... that like that
is not to do it well i guess he's he's
he is stalling and then they see that he's up in the
and with a sniper rifle
yes it's hard he's being really obvious for uh... somebody is a professional killer
he's not doing a very good job hiding himself now which i think could be described
uh... who could describe his entire performance in this movie which is a very clearly
for and i would have really awesome haircut walking around the whole time
uh... there's no one else in tailand who looks anything close to like and they
only they only and they only have like three other american characters who are
three tourists who are
incidental to an earlier and easily grifted
very easily which uh... you can't say the same thing about his car though
He was ungriftable, but what's the day new mom?
Stewart how does this tangled web resolve itself?
The mom sure she's working for capture his buddy Kong who is his messenger who he's grown attached to and
Kong's like and his girlfriend and then not not Nicholas Cage's girlfriend
I don't know what happened to the judge they
just have seen each other if she sees him here
yeah which
i don't believe i mean he's really handsome
so she uh... they bonded over meeting that elephant
yeah absolutely and elephants are awesome
uh... so he goes and he kills a bunch of mobsters in really cool ways
there's some scenes that evoke moments
from the movie Hard Target with John Claude Van Damne
or the movie Loaded Weapon 1,
which I think Elliot brought up.
Well, just in that they were shooting things
and then streams of stuff were coming out of the cans
they had shot.
Like in the Supermarket shootout scene
in the hit parody film Loaded Weapon 1.
Absolutely.
So moving forward, he then manages to capture the head
mobster. He thinks back on his life, thinks about all the bad things. This is Nicholas
Cage we're talking about. He thinks back on his life, thinks about all the bad
things he did. There's cops all around. He puts his head next to the mobster's head,
puts the gun to his temple, and I'm not going to spoil it for you. You need to
finish watching this movie because it's great.
So what do you think about that, Dan?
Yeah, and that's pretty good.
And now that we've given the listeners an overview,
we can dissect a little Bangkok Dangerous.
And my major problem with this movie is,
I feel like if there's a Hitman movie, in general,
if there's a Hitman movie, general if there's a hit man movie
you know which there are like can i talk later by the way about
i may have talked about this before on the paga said remember
well how i am baffled that there's so many hit man movies that get made
yes you may have been there was a permission there is even a movie called hit
man movie called hit man but there's like and there's hit man comedy is hit man
romances hit man adventure films like I'm waiting for Hitman Jungle films.
Well Hitman is a very, very common profession.
You will.
Particularly in this economy.
Hitman is one of the few growth industries.
I will probably never meet a Hitman in my life,
unless I hit Hitman.
Hopefully, Elliot.
I certainly will.
Most people will never meet one.
They'll never hire one.
They'll never know anyone who was hired by one or get or who hired one or hired or there is one in my family history
Which I won't get but I won't get into but that was someone who was hired one
But like I'll never meet one and I'm most people won't either and yet there are tons of movies about like secret agents
I can understand I'll never meet one but like that's a a hero
secret agents i can understand i'll never meet one but like that's a
a hero
fantasy character
yeah it's a it's a it's a it's a character that you would like fantasize about
being like i'm gonna get beautiful women i'm gonna do awesome secret missions
and i'll save the world while screwing games
but but who really fantasize about
being
paid to shoot people possibly from a distance like really unhappy
thirteen or so she has.
Yeah.
But anyway, I can tell.
Well, this is what I was going to say was, you know, Hitman.
This is what I'm saying.
You would agree that you need to do a little work
to make the Hitman a sympathetic character.
Yes.
And most films do this in one two ways.
They either make the person that the hitman has to hit
someone that is personal to them,
that they have some sort of stake in,
and they have to make a choice
about what they're gonna do about this hit.
Or it becomes like a hitchcock sort of film
where you create sympathy
through the fact that this person is on the run.
You show like a professional that is then being tracked down, and the fact that they have is on the run, you show like a professional that is then
being tracked down and the fact that they have had the tables turned on them is enough to sort of give a little sympathy.
Or you do the gross point blank way of making him an emotionally damaged character.
Like he does this, but he's not, he doesn't enjoy it, and he would be a likable enough guy if he didn't have
emotional issues, but you know so far
whereas this is a movie about a guy
who is just a hit man
it's a movie about
four guys he's hired to kill
who we don't know anything about
and it kills them one after the other
and there's no real like personal stake he has in any of it
he isn't being chased down by anyone until the very end.
I don't understand why we're supposed to care about Nicholas Cage's, um,
you know, what happens to him in this movie at all.
It's because he looks sad all the time.
But that's the thing, like in the other movies, the people are sad and then become hitmen.
Whereas in this, it's like, oh, I've made a bad choice when I became a hitman.
I didn't realize my life was gonna be so lonely and I wasn't able to settle down and have a family.
Oh, I should've learned, I should've listened to my high school guidance counselor when he told me not to become a hitman.
Yeah, exactly.
Or like a movie where one twin brothers a hitman and the other one is like a straight arrow cop
and then they have to get together to solve a like a galaxy spanning mystery.
Yeah, or one.
A space crime.
Yeah.
Or one is a hit man and the other movie by the way, space crime.
One is a hit man and the other is like an accountant.
Sure.
The hit man gets killed but the accountant gets mistaken for the hit man and suddenly he's
in this, oh, he's over in over his head and he's goofy scenarios.
But it turns out by the hit man brother who's killed actually isn't killed.
Yeah. He comes in. It was mainly so he get closer to his brother, sure.
Yeah. He pretends to be a ghost giving his brother advice. Yeah, I think you brought up an
interesting thing. The idea of like the person who is like forced to become a hitman and like,
that remind me that the Stewart Gordon movie King of the Ants, where the main character is this guy
who's got this really shitty job. He ends up taking a job like taking a job to kill somebody and he ends up like totally regretting it and like after killing
The guy in the most like horrible way. Yes, he killed Ronald Livingston by the way from office space
It's like you want to kill Ronald and it's like really super like any like totally regrets ever doing it
And then of course gets tortured for it by uh... george went from the shears
uh... and that was an example of a hitman character where you like i can kind
of understand this and feel bad for him even though like he should have done
that clear yeah
honestly i remember about that movie is that carry were isn't it
yeah and uh... all the b-movie starlets i find her the most attractive
she got great ass
oh so it's been cut down and this is the issue I find her the most attractive. She's got great ass. Oh So, Bangkok dangerous anyway, this issue, but yeah, there's no moments like where you genuinely feel him like you don't feel
Nicholas Cage's character like feeling bad at any point or like caring
He just the only emotion we see from him is that he seems to like this death girl. Yeah, he might feel bad No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no part reason. And she likes him for no part reason. Nicholas Cage might feel bad, but we are left to infer that
from him turning a picture of an elephant upside down.
And then burning it.
Yeah.
Which is it, which was identical to the way he burns
the pictures of the people he has to kill.
That's all good directing.
He's a real affinity for Elliot.
For Elliot.
Yeah.
That's so straight.
Oh, I'm hurt. Ew. And an elephant. Whoa. Hey, that's so straight
Hello, hey now Elliot's an elephant Freudian slip. I don't know what it means, but you look like an elephant
Thank you. Maybe the most majestic animal there is okay and adorable as it is a baby and adorable amazingly adorable There's they're furry. I think if this movie had been an hour and a half of elephant footage
It would have been a far better movie better movie yeah and they just called it
elephant mm-hmm but actually there's a movie called elephant already about the
Columbine shooting they called it elephants maybe if they had just shown that
clip from the movie uh... the protect our group of the umpodrop yeah or the
protector where the do large of them life where the bad guy beats up on the baby
elephant if they just shown the clip of him throw the over and over for an iron half I'd probably like it
more than this movie it's too bad to make judgment calls too bad Tony
jock and protect that elephant the reason the really shitty job is like the
fact that the movie is called the protector the reason that Nicholas Cage really
thinks about elephants a lot is because while he's courting the death
girl they have a tender moment that involves a baby elephant. That is just wandering around the streets. Yeah.
I've never been to Thailand. I know they have elephants there. I don't know if they
just wander freely through urban areas. It feels real connective. Maybe it's
like a bear. Like right grew up sometimes bears would come down out of the
woods looking for food and they'd have to like shoot them away. Maybe it was
like that with elephants. New Jersey doing a new jersey. Do you live in New Jersey?
He's talking about New Jersey ever.
Yes, we're barren scene bears. We're in clothing and walking on their hind legs.
And hopping on pop.
And making a clubhouse where there were no girls allowed.
Exactly.
Hop on pop bears are kind of like mutant bears after a radioactive bomb or something.
The thing is like the early barren scene bears are like these like you know these charming sort of Dr.
Sue Snackoffs and then the late barrens saying bears are always like
barrens saying bears learn why you should get a flu shot. Why you shouldn't steal pumpkins from people. Yeah
Barrens saying get it bears just got too preachy. Yeah, what the fuck? That's have it happens to a lot of bears. Yeah understandably. So
Bencock dangerous. have it happens to a lot of bears yeah understandable so think i'm just elie you talked a little bit about the editing of this movie and how it was
really good this is this is a movie that from a technical standpoint
and not just from a i mean you were done from a creative character motivation
standpoint it's very bad
from a technical standpoint it's also very bad
uh... the editing is
awful the shooting is awful subpar the framing i would say like not even subpar subpar is like
that's a misjudge choice i wouldn't have made i think it feel it hurts the
film but here it's like
i don't it's like worse than
the scene in the rock
the michael bay film the rock where
the good guys get corralled into a room in the rock and the bad guys are
waiting above them and shoot at them and you just see close-ups of guns going
off and close-ups of guys going,
ah!
And falling down.
And then when the smoke clears...
You're like putting you in the heart of the action.
When the smoke clears, you're like, oh, that's what happened.
It's they got shot.
But that is like a picture of coherence next to this movie.
The climactic shootout in a warehouse is almost entirely pitch black.
And you have no idea what the layout of the inside of this building is.
You don't know how far away Nicholas Cage is from these people.
The boat chase scene, you're like, where, how far apart are these boats?
Where are the boats going?
You have guys shooting like the scene with where he's a sniper and he gets caught and the
police start shooting up at him.
It takes you a second.
Your brain knows like, oh, I saw him, then I saw guns going off, then I saw a figure in a room kind of like the one i think he's in running away from
gunshots
he must be getting shot at but like they don't they just don't give you the shots
where it's like you don't have to figure it out for yourself it's just a poorly made
move there's one scene in the final shootout where i guess there's a grenade
involved suddenly there's an explosion and you're kind of wondering who brought the
grenade grenade to this fight
why did the grenade you off and nicklaus cage just gets blown back
with heat where one guy gets blown in half here's what i inferred from that
nicklaus cage has the bad guy pinned up against the door
and the bad guy somethings and the nicklaus cage somethings
and then there's somehow a grenade blowing up
in the bad guys belly
so the bad guy gets blown up and nicklaus cage is okay and that is one of the best scenes in the movie even though it's like
it's like the movie in posture where there's a bomb in the guys rib cage I don't
remember that one Gary Sennies everyone that sounds great the thing is the the
classic steward dismissal of what was just said yeah that's right anyway this
that's terrific that what like I've i've seen better movies where
really that this one surely not i've seen a few better movies that have played off the like
the arrival of a strange weapon and you you go along with it like in like in they live where
rady piper all of a sudden happens to have a gun on and and you're like uh well i i know
rady rady piper i know enough about that care to to imagine that he
roudy roudy secrets weapons all around his body that's believable that he
might have a weapon we didn't know about before but in this movie you're just
like wait there's a grenade who brought that
why does that guy have that in his pocket by the way when roudy roudy
roudy roudy piper returned to the house of usher that was really that was a tragedy rhodorik usher
uh... i got
sorry and now trying to think of a way to do a line from the story the fall of
the house of rhodorik usher
of rhodoriot i rhodoriot i came here i came here to chew gum and bury my sister
alive and i'm all out of gum
there you go but uh... that's for the poe fanatics in the audience yeah and the
they live fanatics in the audience now this is a remake of uh...
of a movie called bank octane driss
written and directed by the same guys who wrote direct this the paying brothers
i have not seen it
in that movie
the hitman is death apparently or mute i can't remember which i think you might be
a death mute
and in this one i think that's symbolic nicklass cage merely doesn't talk for most
of the movie
i don't think being a death meet would make being a hitman really challenging.
But that's why he did it.
He wants the challenge.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I think that it was one of these things where the idea was in the original, okay, being
deaf gives him this pre-ternational focus.
The strange thing is that Nicholas Cage was like, I want to remake this film,
but I want to remove anything that's interesting
about the main character.
Yes, and he was a producer on this film, this is Cage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why wouldn't he want to keep the gimmick of the film intact?
Otherwise, it's just a movie about a guy who's a hitman
who has four jobs to do.
Does the first three successfully fails the third
yeah spoiler alert guys
sorry i guess you
guess you don't have to watch bank i'm dangerous consider yourself you should
mail five dollars to dan right now
i said i'm a worry palatine
this is a movie that like we've had trouble watching movies in the past before
i think i was typically ten thousand bc where they just don't keep your
attention and this is another one it just fell to you.
Honestly, I think this might tie in terms of how bored I was.
Possibly. At least 10,000 BC had crazy costumes. They're dressed as cavemen, whatever.
I'll tell you that there are two things that I enjoyed in this movie. One was the guy's
arm being cut off by a boat propeller and it was still holding the gun.
Yeah, that was pretty very star-worsy.
And then the other was there was a Bangkok nightclub that kept returning to
that always had a bunch of Thai girls in different outfits,
scanty outfits dancing like line dances on the stage.
And it was always fun whenever we turned to that nightclub to see what,
what a slutty outfit they'd be wearing this time.
Yeah, once they were dressed up as doctors, yeah, it was a very boring moot for,
for an action movie. It was, there's not a lot of action.
Very little action. It's boring.
The action that's in there is not very good.
They managed to make the city of Bangkok seem incredibly dull.
For a movie with Nicholas Cage, there's not a lot of hammy acting he yeah he is a statue he's
a what he is a what he's a cigar story in the end throughout the entire as he
said his hair does most of the acting for him you know the these guys the
paying brothers I mean they even have like a name for themselves like they're
they're like you know like you're like theoretically guys who like you got
but guy like people who were movie buffs have probably heard of the paying
brothers you think that they would be able to make a movie that isn't a total
turd and isn't completely inept in every regard by the way this is the second
movie that we watch the flat flat house that's done by a brother's team along
with the brothers strouse who did alien versus predator to I missed that one
which alien versus predator to a vp one which alien versus predator to a.b.p. Requiem better movie
what made it a Requiem?
what was the Requiem for?
well it was a funeral mass
yeah
it was a real dirt
i'm looking forward to a.b.p. Arias
wait Arias Giovanni's in it?
yes Arias Giovanni is in it
that's something
alien versus predator 3
fugue
i think there is a porn movie named Ariad, but she's not in it.
That's disappointing. It's a career of film. Sure. Any who she's a member of Mensa. It really? Yeah, I didn't know.
I didn't know. Let her and Gina Davis. I wow. I bet they probably hang out. So um, you do archery together.
Yep, archery. Um, there's archery in the movie Friday the 13th I don't know
where you got how you got to that subject but I saw a poster for the remake
in the subway when I was walking over here it seems like if all the movies
to not just do a sequel to at least even call it like Friday the 13th new
beginnings or something like that like part a million it doesn't care like
people go see it yeah like you don't need to, like, I mean-
Well, I'll tell you one thing.
I was totally uninterested in the Friday the 13th remake until Rich Duncan, former flop
house guest, Kelhoes, Rich Duncan, for a couple of episodes.
Good guy.
Yeah, said-
High five.
Two words to me from the trailer, and that was topless water skiing.
I don't know, that's a pretty good thing. I don't know, I'd watch an hour and a half of that. It was not going to be an hour and a that was topless water skiing. I don't know, that's a pretty good thing.
How do I watch an hour and a half of that?
If it's not gonna be an hour and a half of Topless Water skiing,
it's gonna be an hour and a half of,
there's gonna be 20 seconds of Topless Water skiing.
Wait, then, we guess if you want an hour and a half
of Topless Water skiing, you should pay
for the Topless Water skiing.
Even the real world can't,
even the real Cancun doesn't have two hours
of time, an hour and a half of Topless Water skiing.
Did Rich just lie to me then?
Yes, no.
No, go ahead. You open guaranteed an hour and a half of a yes no
water
man
that's disappointing
are they gonna do a remake of uh... like nightmare for a long street
uh... before
night
ex-girlfriend has to figure out how to stop this child of a letter from invading
people
or have a other leg in camp yeah she will have a nightmare figure out how to stop this child valester from invading people's before how they're laying camp
yeah I think that I'm straight she will have a nightmare
it's a
I think I think they actually are they're working on it and like
Freddie and um
in Robert Englund's not even in it
he's not coming back I mean that's there it's there a few times
what Timmy the only fan will be uh...
Freddie Groover
but there's it's there's so few like
actors who are associated with a character that I'm disappointed that they wouldn't be playing it and Robert
England is one of them. Yeah, that's like that's like making a evil dead movie without Bruce Campbell. Yeah speaking of Robert
England, I just watched zombie strippers and in general I'm not a fan of movies that are sort of trying for camp. However, I will say that usually featuring Ron Jeremy. Now those are just part of films. What have I been watching?
I will say this for zombie's video. This move isn't funny at all. There's just lots of sex scenes in it.
I will say this. With the fat guy. Is that a zombie strippers delivers on its dual promise of zombies and strippers.
So if you're just on that level, it not uh... it does not shy away from it
it's exploitation
the recommendation part of the
as they pointed out in the simsons two things wrong with that title
so uh... ellie you're talking about hitman movies yes what's the story there
the story there is i don't know exactly like it's one of the things were there
a lot of mob movies
i can understand the mob married to the mob godfather mobsters scar face what have you a lot of
My blue heaven a lot of organized crime movies good fellows, you know Mickey blue eyes and so forth
But Johnny dangerous going dangerously Donnie Roscoe and so forth. There are a lot of these movies and
Mr. Mob Mr. Mob.
Mr. Mob.
Mob in law.
Mafia.
Mob in it up.
Mob in a round.
Mob in a round.
Meet the moversons.
What is it?
Honey, honey, I shrunk the mob.
There are a lot of these mob movies.
But I can understand that because there's
like the Mafia, even though you may never meet someone in organized crime,
at least has a place, if a criminal place, in society,
and there's a lot of things,
it's based around a corporate structure
and a family structure, there's a lot of room
for stories there, and there's a lot of things about it
that are very relatable, even if you've never been
in organized crime.
So part of the American dream, you know?
Well, it's the dark side of the American dream, you know?
Well, it's the dark side of the American dream, I like to say.
Sure.
But when would it be dark side of the American dream?
You're the first to make that parallel by the way.
But first time.
But like, there is a set, you can feel a psychological connection
with those characters in a way that to have so many movies about Hitman,
and you know, a good Hitman story I'm fine with.
I don't care when I was a kid boba fat
was my favorite star wars character whatever dude
but uh...
when when
but that
i don't know if he was out and i don't think it like a hit out on
console i mean it is more about he had a bounty hunter but he would kill
yeah i guess you have to assume he killed plenty
i mean it is the star wars universe so probably everyone shot at him first but he
did kill them
then he got eaten by a giant anus in the ground yeah but that in the books he's
escaped from that so it's okay
thanks to mithy's on that was that was the one moment in return to the jet i
were felt like david crononberg had started directing the film
but it was a giant a miss that eats
the middle of the desert
just in the ground somewhere
i think it burps after eating both of that.
Yes, it does.
Which implies that it has a stomach
and a throat, everything.
And it has a sense of comic timing.
What?
Well, I tell you one thing with that sore leg.
It also really knows what it's like.
That's also very fast.
How does it work?
It also works really fast considering that it slowly
digests over thousands of years.
Everything in return of the Jedi burps after eating after eating job that had eats a frog burps
that little thing that sticks out of the desert ground
zaps a bug with its tongue
but i think that's laces from the
laces from the
news that they just like to sell it
thank you this was that uh... we're doing it worked to do in jack knickles
in the presence of
rebo size
noodle
the
role there
for problem a man and the act man the technical sin in president's up sys noodles they're all there
a man
the
they're all
i wish i could remember the name of the rank or keeper but i forgot his name
that black bar probably
we were doing we're doing uh... jack nixon
in other words today so it was like uh... jack nixon and other things and i
chieftorba and mike might contribute contribution that was jack Nicholson as bib fortuna
just no job along you know that kind of thing so
hey man no job no
no bottom and again my favorite thing return to the Jedi they create
huddies is a language and the huddies appraise for Jedi mind trick is Jedi mind trick
huddies does not have a word for a mind or for trick
look the great the great mobster race of the universe has no word for trick
i don't know i mean like that makes us like it's like in France where like
the blue jeans you know but blue jeans are an invention that was brought to them
it's not it's not a common everyday thing like
jet eyes are not common in the
no it's not Jedi that I'm at I have such an issue it's mind-tricking so they've never referred to their minds or tricking
maybe they say mind-trick because they they give no credence to it they think it's bullshit
they're trying to like lessen it in the eyes of their race. Oh, maybe. Anyway, this is off topic, but I just,
a hitman, hitman are just so.
We're gonna watch around the Jedi tonight.
Here's my problem.
The Ewoks are so technologically primitive.
How did they, the Zulu Wars show us that?
Well, I don't understand.
We really have.
The Ewoks are the Vietnamese.
There's that one moment in that movie
where the one Ewoks-
It was a war of attrition that took a day and a half
That was the problem with the Imperial army is that one moment where the one Ewok looks to the other guy when
C3PO says some bullshit and the one Ewok looks to his friend and goes that guy's wise and you're like holy shit
He just spoke English for a second
I don't remember that part. You need to watch again. I promise you usually stuff watching with Trinidad Jedi after they get away from job as palis. Yeah, that's the best part.
It's like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom where the opening sequence is the best
sequence in the film. Yeah, except I still like a lot of that movie, even though people
don't. No, I like it. I actually like it better than last crusade. Last crusade gets a
little too goofy. I agree. Okay, so Hitman. Hit man most most hit man movies feature like
you have the barcode on his neck or something just the one just the one but like
hit man movies also have like a gimmick like it's it's almost always get like a
hot girlfriend too right a hot girlfriend and they're amazing at everything
like if I saw a movie that was a hit man movie where I'm sure these exist
there's just nothing that come to mind That is a very like a realistic movie about,
this is a shitty job, and you do it,
and you kill people for money, but like,
you don't perform amazing kung fu all the time,
and also, we're like, sneak into people's rooms
and then shoot them through mirrors, you know, and things like that.
Yeah, these are guys you can probably find
a significantly more fulfilling career somewhere else.
Yes, but it's this kind of like's this kind of fantasy glorification of Hitman that just can...
It's not like I'm like, this is a sign of the decay of society that we're glorifying these
men, but just is boggles my mind that this is the like rather than astronauts, for instance.
Well, and it's the same thing with like serial killer movies in Hollywood.
It's all like these weird...
These serial killers are all fucking geniuses.
The mental members, serial killers.
They're like the supermods.
And they have like moral superiority.
They're like, I do this to show you what's wrong with your life.
And it's like you don't understand the things I've shown.
And like the vast majority of them are just repressed masturbators or something.
Well, in real life, yeah. But in these movies, they're like they're able to show you the just repressed masturbators or something. Well, in real life, yeah.
But in these movies, they're like, they're able to show you the dark side of our culture or something.
Even then, at least there's, I mean, there's the old trope that is in like revolutionary road of like,
the insane person sees the truth,
through the illusions of society.
And it's a bit much for that person to be a serial killer.
But even then, that makes more sense to me than like,'s make a hitman movie dudes like here. Well our hero will be a guy who kills people for money, you know
Yeah, well, I've just been really waiting to write this awesome novella about the greatest hitman ever to live
What's his name Jack
John like to wait John doe. Okay, John doe and he kills serial killers
That's the okay okay, that's the monster.
He's the one who's the only one who kills these serial killers in the eye of a hurricane.
And he only uses a crossbow.
And he has one webbed hand.
He has one gimpy hand, yeah.
And only other serial killers who don't appreciate their life of serial killing enough.
And on the moment, his eyes are two different colors and on the moment of
Shooting a serial killer. He has an almost orgasmic release where he lives the life of one of our presidents
Just in a flash. Yeah, and the flash you'll have to watch the film it depends like it changes or
Well, that's the other thing I mentioned before like you see like it's because they want to give the character distinctive look but they make
them so crazy looking like as to stick out anywhere and it's like if you want
to hire someone to kill somebody like you pick a guy to blend into crowds at
least Nicholas Cage with just the addition of a hat and a camera could make
himself into a member of the press to escape the police yeah that's true but you
have like in the movie hitman he's got a barcode on the back of his neck. He's shaved balls. He's Timothy Olifon who's under normal circumstances is a kind of
Distinctive looking dude. They put the barcode
Aren't you the guy from deadwood that we don't like even though he's the center of the show?
Aren't you that great guy from the girl next door who's really weird?
They put the barcode on the back of a hitman's neck because they just want to speed up the whole process. If you want to kill someone, you pull out the scanner, you're
like, all right, you're activated, you can't over, like, okay, what, a thousand dollars
great, that's what I'll pay you. So you're saying that the guys who hire hitmen have
scanners to see what the price is? So if his price goes up, he's got to get a new tattoo
of a barcode. Yeah. Well, that's why he has to charge so much because he has to get a laser tattoo removal. Wouldn't it, wouldn't they get a great tattoo of a barcode yeah well that's why he has that's why he has to charge so much because yes they get laser tattoo removal wouldn't it
wouldn't they get tattooed when they put the tattoo in a harder like a less
obvious place I mean some of the back of his neck forgot to say for a movie they
have to have that image on the poster the back of his head so and they just
forget about it wasn't that movie based on a video game oh might have been
you might be thinking of Max Payne maybe think it was also i think it was to you
well let's uh... cut this short because i think of supermanio brothers uh...
with john legos on the
it's really written does hopper and uh... of course
he had to be a word winner does have to make him that movie or so funny
he's uh... i think the onion estimate about it he was like i didn't know what
was going on they didn't know what was going on my son was like why don't you look like the guy in the game he was uh... i think the onion estimate about it he was like i didn't know what was going on they didn't know what was going on
my son was like why don't you look like the guy in the game he was like and i
was like that's what he looks like
that's how it was hilarious
anyway let's move on to our final judgments but bank i think i'll judge
judgements
so the categories are
For people who haven't listened before if you exist the
Anyone on God's earth that hasn't heard the flop house before let's explain it on the very off chance
That such a thing exists. Maybe there's an alien picking up this transformation
This podcast and download our original
How many have we done like this like the 28th or 29th?
Yes 10 listen all those first we could do a month of pods
Listenered home. Anyway, that's good shit
Is this a movie that you would not recommend anyone movie that you would recommend as a good bad movie or a movie that you liked in some way
So Stewart what would you say about this movie?
You know this is a movie that I liked in some way. So Stuart, what would you say about this movie? You know, this is a movie that I liked a lot. Wait, I'm joking.
I had to go in there for a second. No, irony. I know. I'm just joking. This movie is not very good. I wouldn't recommend to anybody. I might recommend to Nicholas Cage. I think you should watch it again and think about his life.
But it would be like a little vehicle procedure. You just got to prophesize open. Yeah, no, that's a movie is like a one film intervention.
Like Nick, what are you doing here?
Check it out.
What's going on?
This is the last movie.
Destiny just turned on the radio.
He's not even in that.
He's saying no.
I just made that up.
Yeah.
That was the movie that I just remember them hyping the fact
that Quentin Tarantino was in it, because it was right
after Paul Fiction, right?
And Quentin Tarantino. in it because it was right after perfection right and and quentin Tarantino you loved him in reservoir dogs if you
saw he's in a non-quentin Tarantino you loved the movie you saw that he shot and
wrote and always he has that one small part in it but this one he's just
that man Nancy Travis and Gwen Tarantino in he plays the guy who turns on the radio. This movie, yeah, I would not recommend it to anyone.
However, as a movie that we all watched talking through a lot of it, it was a very easy movie
to talk through.
I would recommend it on the level of you do not have to pay any attention to this movie
to comprehend what's going on.
If you want to watch a movie but don't want to watch a movie, then this is the movie
to not watch.
If you want visual wallpaper, then this don't want to watch a movie and this is the movie to not watch you want visual wallpaper
than this might be the title of the you will log a video sure
your parties then yeah what's Christmas is over you're like
mhm I would like to have something on my television that I don't need to pay
attention to I don't know what I could watch that's not holiday really sure I
want to waste energy sure how can I do it all the way that I don't want to
don't pay attention bank act dangerous
I
I think if you're babysitting and you want to keep your kids busy for you know
I don't have this will not keep kids busy this would keep maybe like like a vegetable busy like someone with no
If you are babysitting a child who is a vegetable if you were babysitting Terry Shiveau
And you wanted to shut her up for a second right this would be the movie okay if you get off on really greasy hair
then you can watch this if you are watching every single movie Nicholas Cage
ever made then you would have to watch for a for a bad or a dare or just that
would take a really long time if you were if you were doing it as penance for a
saying you've committed this is the one to watch is it what it's one of the minute you have to watch well
uh... and i just want to go on the right here saying also i hate this movie and
don't recommend it
it's really it's rare that i have a hit the strong word it was just not
worth talking about really
uh... it's rare that i use the phrase shit on a shingle but
you know if i had to pick a
it's it's rare if i had to pick a piece of architectural supplies and a piece of feces to compare the steel He used that, he used that all the time. Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh. Just for the record also, in case no one gets a bad idea, shit is not a good preservative
for shingles.
And if you place it on a shingle, it will blow away or get rained off.
Doesn't it not a good order to put shingles?
Yes, people don't let all you're going to end up getting is a dirty shingle and some
wasted shit.
So possibly hepatitis C. Um hepatitis C? Yeah, that's ever-g-rob is in MD.
If you're keeping score at home, that's the straight just to be made on the flop-house.
So, anyway, let's move on.
Before we get into our recommendations, I have a few letters from listeners.
Number one, everyone should go to the Flop House Podcast dot blogspot dot com.
That's our website.
That's our website.
What?
Because Flop House super fan, Cassinia.
Cassinia.
Has done some Netflix lists. What's that? She has put together a list of
number one, all of the movies that we've discussed on the flop-house, in case you want to play
along at home. What you do? What's Netflix? It's a service whereby if you pay money, you can rent
DVDs via the mail. Oh, over the net. That's really clever, okay, keep going.
Sure, dates back to Galileo's day.
And there are also links to lists of all the films that we've recommended.
And she says, I know that almost every time I listen to a new episode,
you guys mentioned a movie I've yet to see, slash, have never heard of.
I'm sure other listeners feel the same,
and we'll appreciate the ability to scroll through the lists of your old
recommendations without having to skim your old episodes with pen and paper at
hand. And so that is an awesome service that she has provided. That was fantastic
before. Three of charge Stuart. Yeah I was actually glancing in the list and there's
even movies that I recommended as a Joker on there. So that's awesome. She was very thorough.
Yeah.
You'll notice that the movies get much classier once I got on board.
Sure.
That's true.
Classier or more boring?
And a little bit of bones.
It's going to make the call.
There's also a link to her personal website on the site.
So if you want to check that out.
It's a good, she has a lot of neat stuff on there.
Also, I have a line, I have a line. I, I have a line I have a I've a line. I've got
an email. I have a line in a television show. It's an episode of Law and Order. You play the guy who
discovers the corpse. See what line is. Yeah, guys, how many Chetta? Huh? I have a line in the show. What's
my line? Which hasn't been on the air for, I don't know know 50 years. Yeah, somewhat 40 some odd at least
An email here
From Eddie last name with held okay what ethnicity is that hey dad hey dad
Well, you're like a nerd in elementary school. I was gonna teach your mom
I've been drinking ladies and gentlemen. Hey, Dan. It's Eddie from you your world and you which is a sketch show that I ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha or shittiness. Yeah, seeing it. I have said we watch it at work once. Well, I'll finish the letter and then I'll tell you about it.
He says, maybe you guys have already heard of it, but I just want to make sure you knew
it existed.
Is Tommy Wiseau the Ed Wood of our era?
Is this the ultimate good, bad movie?
And I was going to open the question to you guys.
Is this movie too little known to be on the flop house?
Is this kicking a dog that has already been kicked several times
before or is it worth checking out.
This is a movie having seen it.
It doesn't quite fall in our purview because we tend to avoid movies that are not bigger
releases or fairly fairly big releases.
It is however movie that I recommend we watch privately if not for the flop house because
it is hilarious. Okay. It is incredibly poorly if not for the floppess because it is hilarious
okay it is incredibly poorly made i do want to watch this movie i you can't get
on that flex however you can get it very cheaply via amazon yeah thinking about
purchasing the the the that sounds like it will like a nice Saturday night the
only problem is it's now it started it be it would start becoming like it's
there i think there's a state or not that still shows it at like midnight's
and the guy who made it was like,
yeah, well, it was always supposed to be a comedy.
It was supposed to be funny.
I meant it that way the whole time.
And he pretty obviously did not,
but it's kind of gotten sullied by that.
I have read about this movie.
I mean, it's a...
It is an awful movie.
It's a cause that has been taken up by many famous comedians
as being a great bad movie to watch.
It is hilarious to see it.
I watch whatever you guys make me watch, so that's cool.
We could do it for this one, but it's kind of, I don't know, it would be harder, almost
a little harder to talk about afterwards because there's nothing for the person at home
to visualize.
Like, she wouldn't, she, there's a lot of listeners
with ladies.
They would.
A lot of Stuart's fans are like.
They wouldn't, they like, there's no one famous in it.
You know, the scenes are all about,
are all characters talking to you.
It's really Phantasmagorical.
It's a very not Phantasmagorical, my friends.
It's like the adventures of Tom Thumb.
It's like the adventures of Tom Thumb mixed with the Yellow Submarine. No, oh my God, it's like the adventures of Tom Thumb. It's like the adventures of Tom Thumb mixed with the yellow submarine.
Oh my god.
It's like that a little dash of return to Oz.
It's like that Stan Winston Tom Sawyer film.
I don't even know that one.
I think the adventures on Mark Twain.
Yeah, so we're going to watch this movie then.
Okay.
We could.
Let's do it for kicks sometime.
Yeah, and I recommend to the listeners at home watch it it yourself Maybe we'll do a movie minute about it. This this is one that it's one of those movies that's really low like low budget and amateurly made to the point that
To just to discuss it is almost
Pointless but to watch it is very funny. Okay. It's like twin-sitter. I was just gonna say it's like twin-sitters in that way and
The librarian brothers unfortunately are not in the room. Oh, that's good in response to
The email I read last time
My sister-in-law Marina last name withheld
Thanks by the way for reading that letter on the air it was fun to listen to your podcast with John my brother
It's my brother not not Marina my sister-in-law's brother
There's no weird Do the podcast now no you misunderstand
entirely
but i've got to ask my brother
but john
my brother we don't
have a brother named john
sure no i've got my
my mother's history
and i was brother that is she's
married to his name john
no we're
i don't have a brother who's on first
yeah he is he's a good player
you know baseball players
have crazy names
for the best offensive first baseball players in the league. The baseball league.
Anyway, my sister-in-law points out that my brother would never have made the mistake
about Carloth as he pointed out though. My sister-in-law was thinking of Horton Tiers-A-Hoo
which was often paired with the Grinch and that was...
Who's he? What's his hot-con raid?
Hot-con raid. It was hot-con read or no, or uh, it was Hans Conrad
Yeah, but also not Paul Henryd. No, not Paul Henryd or Conrad bite neither of each but, um, in response to our question to tweens about high school musical uh... they ask james my uh... nephew sure he was in the demographed son of john yeah
james johnson uh... why do people like high school musical
and he said quote
i don't know
i don't like it
i think it is because
hauss
i don't know it's bad
so there you go it's a very realistic reply.
If you're wondering about high school musical,
if you're puzzling it out, that's from someone
who is in the age bracket targeted.
Finally, I'm able to see it unfettered.
My gaze unsullied by my own stars.
My own stars.
Yeah, that was great.
Don't we talk now about movies we do like? Yeah, recommendation time. Let's do that. Okay, Ellie was great. Don't we talk now about Don't we talk now about movies we do like yeah recommendation
Yeah, that's okay. I like yes go. I like go oh wait
What are we doing right now Dan clarify? I'm saying in this point of the podcast we prove that we're not miserable
Jerks we do like everything no, I love something so we like okay. I'm ready to go
Do it to it. Yeah, the other day. I watched this great movie with my buddy Alexander delicious and
We watched a little clenese wood picture called the baguille. Oh, I've watched that recently too
1971 it was great. It is a great movie. There's some really awesome bits in it and it's really
It's basically about this this northern civil war soldier who ends up in this southern
girl school and like slowly kind of in a way like seduces them all and they all end up putting like all their hopes and dreams on him
And then when they find out he's been lying to them they get extra mad. Yeah, very
Distressing movie. Yeah, it's but it's great because it's yeah, it's it's kind of creepy like a horror movie like it has everything
That's good about Italian horror movies in it and
None of the bad stuff and it's really a very good way to put it. Yeah, it's really
It's really and there's just some really hilarious bits. So it's good totally recommend it. I would recommend a movie that's in theaters
I would recommend that people go out and see my bloody Valentine in 3d
I would not recommend that you see it in just regular digital. Yeah, 2D. Yeah, 2D.
But well, technically you're seeing it in FUKBAT. You're seeing it in 4D. Am I? The dimension of time. That's true.
That's true, Elliot. Continue.
Let an asshole this guy is. This Elliott. What a dick. Glad he said that.
It's not a great movie.
It's in fact, your average
slash or film, but done with a modicum of like talent.
It's done with good pacing, like a good sense of fun.
But there's something about seeing a horror movie in 3D
that really gets at like the sort of carnival element
of seeing a horror film that amusement, a thrill, that novelty
feeling, it feels trashier, it feels...
You said there's like, there's 3D boobs that just pop out of the screen, right?
That's true.
I didn't say it in those words.
However, there is a 5-minute sequence in which a woman runs around entirely nude.
Yeah, it's just fun.
That sounds fun. I, it's just fun.
That sounds fun.
I think she's running through a sprinkler.
Yep.
Sure.
A Butterfactor.
She slips and falls on another nude girl.
Yeah.
They're a lot of spring sound effects.
Sure.
Yeah, because this is a hand of barbarous,
scored porn film.
And what's on this? They are like porn at this point?
That sounds great good job. I like that recommendation. Yeah, okay real quick
I saw a movie called mock up on move that was a very
already experimental science fiction film kind of
sewn together from tattered pieces of other science fiction films which was a
kind of sewn together from tattered pieces of other science fiction films, which was a lot of fun, but you're not probably might have trouble finding it.
So if you can find it, it's called mock up on Moo.
It's worth seeing.
You'll feel like it's pointless in the beginning and then you might get into it.
But in earlier, in an easier film to find, that's all recently that I'd never seen for,
was Silver Striek with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.
Oh, yeah, it's in Silver Strie in silver street no which is not the funniest movie
but frankly like gene wilders are pretty good
action adventure star
in that film like he never seems it's supposed to be like he's a goofy guy caught
up in this thing but he doesn't come off as goofy comes off as pretty competent
and at the end like
the cops are having a shoot out with the bad guy the late uh... dearly departed
and missed petrick macoon
they just hand gene wilder a gun not and there's no like well what am i gonna do
with this thing like he just takes it in the hand of his bullets he starts
loading it and it's this great like
yeah you know i guess he'll help you'll just take part in the shootout to you
know what that's the way i've always felt about silver streak to i'm like
as a comedy
alright there's some laughs in it
but as like a uh... sort of hitchcock pastiche
it's very good it's yeah it's a lot of fun and there's also like Richard
priors very good in it and there's a shot where
and that there's also a lot of like atmosphere in it
uh... considering it was shot in canada not in the united states
it feels it feels like american when they're driving around or taking the
train or whatever
but there's a part where he and
Richard prior just like driving
and there's just a shot of the road
with them driving and it's kind of like almost haunting music
as they drive past these kind of pastoral landscapes and it's this nice little like
uh... badlands moment
in this otherwise like odd couple adventure film you know so
i like to the line actually and also, Richard Keele gets shot with a fucking spear gun, spoiler alert.
So...
Hey.
See it happens.
Richard Keele.
My skin's killed over.

If you get the chance to see it, I would say go for it.

the final one. Don't you wish you could live in the flop house with us? Yeah. Seriously, if I could drop my almost my entire life and me and my girlfriend
go live in the flop house, this mythical construct, I would do that instantly.
Yeah. If it was like that Stephen King short story with the guys in that house and
people just give him, they put slip the money under the door for his living.
