Well, I'm sure you could put the pictures up on the website if you wanted to, but my friend and coworker Wyatt Sannack bought an adult full-body Cobra Commander costume and complete with the added... He also bought the extra knife that straps to your thighs. A lot of Frelly just because he thought it would be fun to see Elliot wear a Cobra Commander costume was that really the adult size and of the child's it was the adult size was a little too big for me looks kind of like co-worker manners pajamas but I did wear it for quite a while as as a producer Jimmy Don said you made a bit of a dumpy co-worker
Starting point is 00:01:39 man that happened well that's mostly the costume is full yeah fall. Yeah, I'll put a picture up on the website of you threatening me with the co-worker matter. I think you should. And so how about that twinceter screening, huh? If you miss it, you guys were a bunch of jerks. Well, I mean, or they don't live in the New York area. No, a bunch of jerks. Yeah, they should have paid the money.
Starting point is 00:02:02 To what, to fly out? To fly out. Yeah, they're now. Rates are dropping, right? No, they're have paid the money. To what to fly out? To plane tickets. I mean, they're now. Rates are dropping, right? No, they're actually going up. Oh, okay. Then yeah, they shouldn't have come. But we want to thank all of you.
Starting point is 00:02:11 I feel bad for you for if you paid to come to see us. I want to thank all of the fans that did come. We had a great turnout and it was a great night. Mm-hmm. And we'll be uploading that to the internet. No. Oh, even there's a one-time only event. Well, I mean, that's not the case.
Starting point is 00:02:27 That's what's exciting about live stuff, LA, is that you only get one chance to catch it. That's true. Then it's gone. And if they screw up, then they got a tag and you need to have it. Yeah, that's it. It's gone.
Starting point is 00:02:38 But we might do another one. I mean, it was a big enough success that we could probably convince to do another one. How do we measure that success? I mean, ticket sales. Like a half a meter? Yeah, a half a meter. I don't like that better than this ticket sales.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Is that invented by Victor Lafamater and it measured the laps? I mean, success for me was when the girl at the counter at the 92 Y tried back a screwed up dance pizza order. Yeah. Of which I took her an extra dollar. Wait, what? Yeah, it's a direct river. Well, not before. I should like, hey, screw up that guy's pizza and there's another dollar in it for like that really good looking guy. I'm like, oh, no, the guy sitting next to it. What? What? Yeah, the better thing about that, though, Stewart, is I was supposed to get a
Starting point is 00:03:23 performer's discount. And I mentioned that to the woman of the counter She's like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and somehow in between like the the the 30 seconds between me Be saying that to her and her agreeing that I should get that discount and her ringing it up She'd forgotten that conversation occurred it did not give me this guy. He has a whole day. He had to pay the $4 She forgot that I put the order in entirely And I had to go up and remind her. No, I don't know if you were being attention, but when she said, yeah, yeah, yeah, was she making a jack half motion with the right hand? No, no, someone else asked what that motion is.
Starting point is 00:03:53 I didn't Dan didn't hear someone else said, hey, what's your favorite band? And she went, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. Wait, is that a band? Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. So, we're watching. So, was that a wear will announce it a were will DJ Oh is up next and have that my favorite song where all the London
Starting point is 00:04:16 We play in that for six straight hours So buglin to W. Oh well One radio Well two on the nose that's okay So Bungalyn to WOLF. I mean, the one in the radio. Well, two on the nose, that's okay. So we thanked our fans for coming to the Twins that are show and then Dan complained about the pizza. They that covers the nights. For those who weren't there.
Starting point is 00:04:38 What we did for our wives and mistresses. For those who weren't there, we had a fun segment where we interviewed our wives and in Swords case fiance and embarrassed them in front of the audience. They were good sports about it. They were very good sports and didn't divorce any of us afterwards. Despite barely being asked to me in the show. And there's a and say we had a couple of flopp how super fans there one who of whom won a big prize package is a fun night for everyone.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Stuart's big prize package. Yep. You can come collect whenever you want. So, I guess we should move on. Dot-ord. To less exciting piece of business. Wow. This is so awesome.
Starting point is 00:05:20 This is the actual purpose of the podcast. The movie we showed at the screening was Twin Citters, which is a delight and a joy to be able to watch. Yeah, you watch there. Uh, the movie we watched tonight was What Dan? Sucker Punch. Sucker Punch. It was a, it's a punch to the audience.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Uh, well, Ellie, you love 300 and what you are a fan of Visionary Director Zach Snyder. I like 300 a lot. I have a fan of Visionary Director, Zack Snyder. I like 300 a lot. I think it's a lot of fun. Watchman is a mediocre film. Zack Snyder is the... The Don't-to-Dad remake is okay. I haven't seen that one. I like to think you have to have made more than three movies
Starting point is 00:05:57 to be a Visionary Director, but the word Visionary gets thrown around a lot. So I guess Sucker Punch is the fourth movie by this Visionary. Yeah, Sucker Punch is the sort of movie that you make once no one can say no to you. Yeah, you've had a couple hits in a row. Enough box office success. Yeah, you get to blow all of your Bopho B.O. they call it. Yeah, Bopho B.O. is what they call it. They you get you have enough credit now in
Starting point is 00:06:22 your in your star bank to make the movie To make the movie that you doodle on the back of your math notebook in so it takes a star box and it goes to the movie center and Buies all the stuff to make I'd like to buy one attractive girl I'd like to buy one piece of shit movie, please and the result was a sucker bunch shit movie, please. And the result was a skucker bunch. But smuckers bunch had a lot going for it. There were, you could see the upper thigh of a lot of girls. This is PG 13. A lot of navels, a lot of navel acts. There was the constant, unfulfilled promise of lesbian kissing. There was a lot of action where humans fought computer-generated things with swords and guns. Most exciting type of action.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Yeah. And a person is fighting something that's not there. And looks like it's not there. And you had no less than three different levels of reality all of them stupid. Sure. Yeah. Now this is I would love to hear Elliot try and synopsis is film because this is a this is an MC I sure puzzle box of a mystery of an enigma. Oh, what's going on? No two people see the same film. It's regular images. Yeah, it's a regular persona. So we open with a wordless vignette in which what's the name of the actress playing the main character? Emily Browning. Emily Browning. She was in the series of unfortunate events and she was in the flop house film. I think the uninvited was... no that no no that's the unborn the unborn
Starting point is 00:08:05 the unborn was the big one the un invited was the right one the same the unborn the unborn that's the unborn uh... yeah which that on the unborn promised a girl's butt in underpants which delivered on that promise did it
Starting point is 00:08:17 that was a thing uh... so the so she looks as store pointed out the main character's film and we're outing who plays the part of baby doll looks as Stewart pointed out like the Svetka Vodka robot from the ads if that robot had to poop the entire time The robot had a blonde wig and looked like an even to poop and was dressed in like a Japanese sailor suits basically sailor moon costumes yeah so in a wordless vignette her mouth she's a rich girl with a little
Starting point is 00:08:46 sister and a dead mother and an evil stepfather. And the dead mother dies. And the evil stepfather is horrified to learn that the wheel gives everything to the two daughters. So he wrecks his office and then tries to rape baby doll. And when she scratches his face, tries to rape the younger sister because if I think in raping them They would leave a pile of cash Yeah, it's like a video game when you kill when you kill someone yeah, either that or a giant turkey leg Which you could eat for health and then you go Then he could fight bobo or whatever the character from double dragon is
Starting point is 00:09:23 It's a bobo a boba is uh... it's a boba a boba it's a bobo just one yeah i know it's a boba it's a boba from the fad race a tattooing oh man any who
Starting point is 00:09:35 so while he's at while he has the young girl cornered in a closet baby doll takes a gun from his desk and trying to shoot him somehow shoots a light bulb and her sister at the same time killing her sister. Not significantly shorter than he is. Yes, and shorter than the light bulb she hits. There's no shorter than the light bulb itself, but where the light bulb is stationed?
Starting point is 00:09:54 Yes, that's true. It's not a seven foot long light bulb. It's not an industrial, fluorescent tube. I mean, it was that big. You know, it would be hard for her not to shoot the light bulb. At that point, it must be some kind of art installation. They just have in the house Anyhoo, so the evil stepfather brings her to a kind of thank you That's the movie in a nutshell
Starting point is 00:10:18 Belch the evil stepfather takes her to a evil mental institution Okay, where she is Lennox Hill, it's called. And there she enters a fantasy world in which she and a group of other girls are kind of sex slave bruleck performers. Sex slaves slash taxi dancers, something. Yeah. In this weird club boarding house prison that is run by the, run by the orderly from the mental institution, but he has a mustache here. And he's some kind of crime boss or something. And seems sort of more of like a Latin mobster. Yeah. And Carla Gugino is.
Starting point is 00:10:58 But as soon as she goes into this fantasy world, we basically forget about the other one, right? Yes. It does not switch between that level of reality back to the We don't go back to the mental hospital until the end of the movie. Okay, and basically what happens is well She's a little baby doll is about to get lobotomized and then it switches to this other plane of reality She's there their braless gang Cargo Gino is like a dance coach They're their briless gang Cargugino is like a dance coach who's Russian. Yeah, and the and the amazing thing about it
Starting point is 00:11:27 I got a real like Natasha from rocking boi go like sent. Yeah, it's pretty bad and all the girls walk around in like not really very revealing Lawn Jere it looks like they're in like bathing suits and tights. Yeah enough thigh highs to make it you know that they're wearing long You've got girls of every type. Yeah, the skinny one, the blonde one, the Asian one, and the other one. The other one. And this, like a regular brat cornucopia. There's a lot of, there's a lot of br attitude. There's a lot of very specific, like hipster fetishes
Starting point is 00:12:01 that are involved in this movie, heavy eye makeup, thigh-high stockings, like old-fashioned lingerie. Girls almost getting raped. Girls almost getting raped. Very popular. Sure, that's a big hipster. And it's like this world where baby doll has been promised to some and her other friends
Starting point is 00:12:17 are named Rocket, Amber, blondie, who doesn't have blonde hair, that's the that's the smartness of it. Chastity and age. Bondy who doesn't have blonde hair that's the that's the smartness of that age by that one girl from high school musical who was new to the internet and rockets older sister sweetpeer and they all have stupid names because it's a stupid movie and baby doll has been promised to some higher
Starting point is 00:12:38 because it makes them less human by giving them names like that yes they become fetish objects they basically become sex dolls. Who don't have sex? Native American fetish objects. Yeah, they're totems. To have a lot of power. And anemistic religion. And basically, but they.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Or a vansister worship, I'm sure. They learn that baby doll is this amazing dancer. And every time she dances, we don't see her dance. Instead, the camera zooms into her eye. And and suddenly she's in a fantasy world where she fights I mean she wiggles for a second she wiggles kind of like a like a drugged up Russian child but first time she enters this world Scott Glenn appears to her as like a sense a character one of the first Americans in space yes yes, Scottlin actor Scott go on John. You might remember him as the guy the guy at the FBI who sends
Starting point is 00:13:30 Jodie Foster Down to meet Hannibal Lecter in science of the lambs. Yeah, I'm mixing up actors name and character name, but that's fine But he tells her that he is a he is a sense a inside of a snow-covered pogoed up a david caratine type yes he is basically exactly like a little like sex matters saying this is my david caratine
Starting point is 00:13:54 this at the uh... we hadn't killed himself if uh... that has been proven yet right that was i thought i mean that could have still been file player it could have been felt like that true the movie and uh... that was I thought I mean, it could have still been foul play. It could have been foul play. That's true. The movie. And he's been watching foul play. I do not want to watch any more of this. I can't. I can't.
Starting point is 00:14:11 I can't. To foul play. Yeah, he could have be like, Oh, Chevy Chase. Oh, my god. And then. And anyway, it basically this is this is Zack Snyder's killbill is what we can get to eventually. Except he's not very good and he doesn't have Quentin Tarantino's basic understanding of human emotion. Or how movies work. So anyway, Scott Glenn is his sensei now.
Starting point is 00:14:42 She fights three giant samurai robots, one whom as a huge what gatling gun yep like it like a train gun one guy's got big naggy notta and a whole time gatling gun material this happens a couple times throughout the movie that she goes and then when she's done killing the samurai we pull out of her eye
Starting point is 00:14:59 she's done dancing and everyone is amazed at what a great dancer she is because apparently she's been dancing the story of killing Samurai, like I don't know. And this happens a couple times throughout the movie, and you see her in a couple different settings with the other girls. One were there in World War I, and they're using machine guns to fight steam punk zombies, and they blow up a zeppelin, and there's a lot of kung fu bullshit. And then another where they're in a world where two bomber plane and they're over a fantasy castle they have to fight a dragon and what was there another one oh yeah they're on a futuristic train and fighting robots to
Starting point is 00:15:35 stop a bomb or start like a Mars or something and they're all each of these scenes has no bearing on what's happening in real life has nothing to do with anything that well she has to pick up five's happening in real life has nothing to do with anything that well she has to pick up five different objects in each of these scenes Skyplan is like you need to get out of there you need to get a map you need to get fire you get a knife I mean you have to get some mysterious fifth other element perhaps love it turns out to be sacrifice okay it's not love from the film. Yeah, it's not
Starting point is 00:16:06 Lili Lili or Corbin Dale. Well, it's weird actually in the original draft of the Fifth Element, the Fifth Element was chalk. This was wind, fire, water and chalk. But then I think it was around, I think after that earth and chalk were too similar. I mean, that's the while shooting was going on. I think after shooting started They were like why don't we change it to love? Love guys. I think they may have changed it to corn and then love maze maze, which is corn. I don't know why I mean they're French. They're not Native American. No, I don't go through two levels They're like they didn't know that amazing corn. Yeah, let's make it corn. No, let's make it maze. Okay. Wait. That's just corn Okay, it's the friendship session with the Native American
Starting point is 00:16:47 culture as evidence by brotherhood of the wolf oh very well very nice okay any who so so we see these these action scenes that are not very well made I'm sure we'll talk about them and then bad things happen to good people in the world in the briless world the evil crime boss finds out they're trying to escape that's what they're trying to do the trying to escape and she's already in a fantasy world and then when she starts to dance she goes into another fantasy world and then when and then there's a point where something wrong happens in the second level fantasy world in the braless world and so it like pulls her out of her her
Starting point is 00:17:25 dancing world her dance her her like third level yeah but they never go all the way back to the first level until the end of the movie at the very end should I just give say the ending yeah at the very end all the other girls have been killed except for her and sweet P who has no personality whatsoever and she's blonde she looks like Nicole Kidman kind of And baby doll realizes this was never my story. This was your story. I'm going to sacrifice myself so you can escape. And she does. And it is at that moment that a the spike that was about to lobotomize her in the first level reality goes into her eye and into her brain. And she's lobotomized by John Hamm of TV's Mad Men.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Oh, I like him. I like him. He had so much to do. He had so much to do. And it turns out, if there's this completely unnecessary tact on ending where the orderly at the mental hospital was, I guess, sexually abusing the girls, like it's not really clear.
Starting point is 00:18:20 He's been doing something terrible to them. He gets arrested and it turns out she really did help with another girl escape from the mental hospital. And now that girl is gonna drive away to freedom on a bus driven by Scott Glenn. Yeah. And the movie opens with a shitty voice open and ends with a shitty voice over saying,
Starting point is 00:18:36 who has the power of freedom? Who decides our actions? You do. You have all the tools you need. So it's like a Babylon ID, right? That was how the movie is a self-affirming movie it's a self-affirming movie about the power of almost being raped and then getting lobotomized almost being raped and escaping into a fantasy world it is a it is a movie full of MTV style music video nonsense and then at the end lobotomy. Oh I forgot that. Most of the movie is told with
Starting point is 00:19:08 with just covers of famous songs playing over the set. Yeah, there's a lot of songs that are ruined by terrible cover versions you got your search and destroy Search and destroy sweet dreams tomorrow never knows Where is my mind just you know like songs that you might enjoy if you actually heard the real version. Oh, uh, uh, uh, white rabbit or is that the... Yeah, white rabbit. Uh, Bjork's army of me left intact. That one not coming.
Starting point is 00:19:36 I wouldn't be surprised if Bjork did not give permission for a cover. Sure. Um, either that or she was so eager to be associate with axon iters skucker bunch that she just said use my own by some point in the dot on the work i mean he is
Starting point is 00:19:53 and he's a visionary of course the movie poster he is a visionary he has made almost five films so he has been did he do anything before before his daughter the dead remake uh... music videos, right? I get that makes sense I mean his this movie is basically a collection of crappy music videos Yeah, and the action scenes all it feels like they were test-marked in by like just handing out polls at Comic Con
Starting point is 00:20:17 because there's like Steam punk zombies and giant mechs and like, you know robots and zombies and giant mechs and like you know robots and dragons and samurai and This trope that's gotten very popular in short skirts Well, that's the thing the tough girl in a short skirt where it's like it used to be the male fantasy to like save a woman from danger And you that's like old action heroes used to be guys who saved animals in distress and now it's almost like Men have become so infantilized that the fantasy is a woman who can protect and take care of them yeah like they'd read it went from
Starting point is 00:20:50 women become fight like Ripley in the alien movies like finally a woman is the action hero this is really cool to being like why can't they just be like a girl dresses like i think girls are dressed in she takes it she's like super mean with a sword but like she knows i'm cool, you know, that kind of stuff. Well also like the weird thing about watching this movie is how dirty it makes me feel.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Like when I've seen much dirtier things, but I feel disgusting person. Sure, I'm a terrible person. I'm a terrible human being. But like there's a certain honesty in just like being like, this is like a fetish that's being presented. Like where this movie is like, we're gonna put a bunch of people in fetish care and have a much of almost
Starting point is 00:21:27 rapes but we're gonna you know you know pretend like it's a tale of empowerment and uh... and also it's gonna be redemption pg 13 so like there's not a lot of swearing in it there's a little bit this it keeps kind of teasing you that it's gonna be more bizarre or word uh... or trashy than it is. And it means that like in the scene in World War I, there's a world where one scene where
Starting point is 00:21:52 Scott Glenn says to them, he goes, the Germans have figured out a way to bring the dead back to life with steam and gears. So don't worry about killing them. They're already dead. Well, the dead, it's okay. Your kids are watching this. Yeah, because they're just shooting robots, you know, like just having kill soldiers like it's a war scene. There's a moment where one of the girls reaches down and like shoves that like like like pushes
Starting point is 00:22:13 inside the hair on a young soldier's face and he's got bandages on his head and it's like this brief moment of like, yeah, war hurts people. Sometimes kids have to fight war. It's war's not fun. Anyway, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go What's happening? It is a collection of almost rapes and they demonize every male character in this movie Yes as being an almost rave except Scott Glenn the mystery shaman Who's a decentralized weird mystery shaman? Yes, like Willie tall salt in the great bikini off-road adventure How did I well that's when the great bikini off-road adventure is a far more of a feminine empowerment movie than this, because like they run a successful business, they make fools of the villains, they don't let the facts that their tops keep falling off,
Starting point is 00:23:10 get in the way. Why would you? Why would you? They embrace that fact. Like this is, yeah, the great bikini off-road adventure becomes a feminist tract next to Sikaka Munch. And but I can't even bring myself
Starting point is 00:23:24 to pronounce the name right. This movie that's just a stupid nail characters with almost rapes. But like how does it make the filmmakers any less creepy for filming it entirely about chicks and semi-fedish? Yeah. No, this is a creepy movie. It's a creepy movie that's not very good. Well, and one had been good, the creepiness would have been overlooked.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Well, because well, I haven't been good, the creepiness would have been overlooked. Well, because, well, it had it been good, the creepiness would have been a good thing. Because a well-made movie that's creepy is not, it's going for an effect that on purpose. You know, like a good horror movie is trying to make you uncomfortable. And it works. Like this makes you uncomfortable because it's like, am I supposed to be, like, enjoying this? Like, what's the, you know, like a death proof with a lot of girls in small outfits? Yes. Well, that, you know, because Quentin Tarantino the, you know, and one thing that makes a death proof with a lot of girls in small outfits. Yes, well that you, because when Tarantino knows,
Starting point is 00:24:09 you know, these are girls in small outfits. Yeah, one thing that makes me particularly angry about this movie too is like, this movie, the whole middle section is just a bunch of nonsense action scenes that are just totally bubblegum. They don't mean anything. They're just like ridiculous, crazy bullshit. And then at the end of the movie oh we have this downer ending is like well this girl has gone through all this stuff and now
Starting point is 00:24:31 she gets a little bottomy and I guess there's a ray of sunshine because she helped one other girl escape that we don't care about but there's no need like on a movie that's like such a popcorn stupid film to have like this bleak ending where a girl gets an unneeded lobot of it. Amen. That's life. I guess I guess a mental lesson. You've been taught a lesson about the real world deal with it. We get smacked down for stuff all the time. John Ham goes around lobotomizing. It's a weird moment at the end. John lobotomizing. John Ham has just lobotomized this girl and John and Carlugino as the it turns out she's the doctor and the mental
Starting point is 00:25:08 institute comes in and she's like you'll lobotomize her huh? I wouldn't have done that any who and John Hamm is like who didn't you your signature is on the forms authorizing this she's like what no it's not what I I would never have signed that and John Hamm is like I don't like doing it either but you know I do it like you have two characters who were supposed to like, but they can't get too mad that a girl's just been lobotomized, especially since one of them did it.
Starting point is 00:25:31 So this weird moment of like, hey, don't blame John Ham and Carlton, you know, they're the good guys, even though they were fine with this. Yeah, that's dirty world. So filthy way, hey, you just learned another lesson. You should be paying his ex-nighter for all the lessons he's teaching. Well, it's a moment where I think both of them realize there's a mistake made,
Starting point is 00:25:47 but they just keep changing the subject. Like, oh, man, then I have to go home and make dinner. I don't have enough time for this. Where are my shoes? Oh, geez, look at the time. I gotta go. Other weird thing is, who put all the makeup on her before this? Isn't that strange?
Starting point is 00:26:04 No, no, she's just flushed from whatever sickness she has. So this is, this is- She flushed from being a rouse all this movie for some reason. It's the, this is like- She went she was a rouse? I'm just saying like, what's weird- What's funny about this? Fetishization of everyone in the film.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Like, okay, and now she's been- Like using all of my baby doll because we've removed her brain Like the terrible lesson I mean the women in the movie are basically puppets for sex matter Yeah, I mean I'd say the like I compare them to like that manic pixie dream girl thing But they're not even they don't even have enough personality Well, it's a different. It's a different type. It's the it's the action pixie dream girl. Yeah, where it's like the pucker bunch their person Booker snunch gucker glunch naked lunch there you go wait that's what we're watching naked lunch watch that starting Peter Weller yep Peter Weller would have made a good uh
Starting point is 00:27:01 mystic shaman character sure yeah if he wasn't busy getting his grad degree I thought he was a teacher, I don't know, I don't think he. I thought he was studying. What is he teaching, RoboCop? Come on. How to be a RoboCop, step one. RoboCop, one-on-one. Have a holster in your leg. You all failed.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Look to your left. Look to your right. Both of you failed. You're going to have holsters in your legs. I'm going to do it. failed. Look to your left. Look to your right. Fuck you failed. You're gonna have whole sturn's heel hates.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Okay, today we're gonna focus on eating baby food. Yeah, Robocop 1 1. Pretty tough class. Yeah, it's a... Nobody gets Robocop 1 or 2. No one. No one wants Professor Willough. I mean, it's hear your Robocop.
Starting point is 00:27:47 It's a tough class. Professor Willis is a hard grader. Does not give pass-fail grades. But a great class. E.D. 209, you got potential. I got my eye on you. That's not very good. That's good as Robocop. This is a movie for 14 year old boys that if I had seen as a 14 year old I would have thought it was terrible. Well this is the fails on pretty much every level.
Starting point is 00:28:14 This is the heavy metal of movies. This is like the movie that you walk into your local 7-Eleven and you match for bait to this because they don't have play points available. Oh you mean the magazine? Oh you mean the magazine? You mean the magazine? In the 711. Yeah. In this Lurphy machine.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Yeah. Wait, really? Yeah, guys. No, I don't know. No, I am Masterbait in 711, right? This is why Dan's right. I'm criminal record from as a juvenile sealed because he masterbaits on it. Yeah, but this is...
Starting point is 00:28:42 No, but this movie, this movie is to pornography as heavy metal was to like playboy. This is like that weird like okay we're gonna sort of like dirty up a little like science fiction. Well there was that really weird scene where they cut that baby dragons throughout and stuck their hand in the wound and pulled like crystals out. That crystal is five years old. That's pretty sexual and then the the mother dragon chase them and we were rooting for the mother dragon because they had just kind of killed her child yeah yeah I mean that's kind of bullshit this is I guess this is the step up for kids were done masturbating to like
Starting point is 00:29:17 bikini scenes next man comics and are ready for harder stuff yeah we should actually I was gonna say we should have we should have a chart of the masturbation moment. But it's like no, we shouldn't have that chart. No, we should not do that. We should not do that one. Anyone looking for that chart, we don't want looking for us. Yeah, Penny's dinosaurs, etc. Now that you got kids looking to find out what would happen if Penny met a dinosaur. And then they're seeing that. That's bad. By the way speaking along these lines, I was looking at the keywords that sent people to the Flophouse website and one of them recently there were two searches for I am number four porn. So that is a very small market. By the way you can't find any I'm number
Starting point is 00:30:04 four porn on the Flophouse website in case you were looking for a lawyer. Don't tell them they're Very small market. Yeah. By the way, you can't find any, I'm number four, for not on the FlopPas website. In case you were looking for a really cool. I'm not talking about they're not going to come with what we're saying. Yeah, we're working on it. Lates providing the words. I'm providing the pictures.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Stan's providing the soul. Yeah, of course. We say to Dan, what do you like? And we know it's going to be totally crazy and gross? So always the quiet ones. So the Tucker bunch. Yeah, I mean, I mean, that's all like, I think so Al Roker, a movie that's filled with cover songs of, you know, things that songs that used to be good
Starting point is 00:30:39 or songs are still good. It's just the covers are bad. But like this is a movie that's kind of like the cover song of a movie. Like it's just a mash-up of things that he liked when he ran around Comic Con on a sugar high. Yeah. Well it's his kill bill. Where Quentin Tino made kill bill and kind of put together all the things he liked into a new hole and kind of infused his spirit into them. Zack Snyder kind of just like shoved a whole bunch of things in a bag and then shook the bag up and then threw it in the river and the river took it to
Starting point is 00:31:08 a trash dump and then they shot that on film. So what's the next step for him now? Is he going to make like a punch drunk love type of movie? Sucker punch drunk love, yeah. Yeah, I know. I think you're right though. He has to step back, right? I don't know. He could. He's gone so far up his own ass and like he'll make Yes, Anderson style bullshit movies at this point like a movie about a director named Zack Snyder making a crazy movie So he's just gonna keep the punch element to all his movie. Oh, yeah sucker punch and Judy sure the punch element to all his movie. Oh yeah soccer punch and Judy. Sure. They're gonna do that Hawaiian punch movie. They've been talking about for a while. We're starting to punch. We're gonna do a second adaptation of the...
Starting point is 00:31:53 Sorry punchy exactly. Now we're Leonard's rum punch. Yep. It's gonna be a whole thing. He's gonna do what we call punch card. Just about punch cards. So what when do we get to say what I think about the movie? When do we get to give our? Now because I think that you're Chafing of a bit. Let's do our final punch miss Well, there's a good bad movie a bad bad movie a movie kind of liked Stuart
Starting point is 00:32:16 This was not a movie I kind of liked nor was it a good bad movie? Pace for eliminating those possibilities Thus it would only be a bad movie? Hey, it's for eliminating those possibilities. Thus, it would only be a bad bad movie. By logic. This was a movie that the three of us were like. It's like he's a detective and he's gathering us in a room. Not one more thing. I don't like this movie.
Starting point is 00:32:34 What were you saying, Stuart? Well, we're looking at the potential movies we could have watched. And I think the three of us were all like, I'd rather watch sucker punch to those things. And then about 10 minutes into the movie, we're like, maybe... i'd rather watch sucker punch of those things and then about ten minutes in the movie were like maybe we go back and watch one of those movies should have picked country strong after all it's a movie i was going for red riding
Starting point is 00:32:55 it's a movie where we'll see the most we were all you're watching the movie and then steward said hey look at that cat and we saw it dance cat was just lying on the kitchen floor and i for about three minutes just watch the cat and Like my enjoy if I had one of those dials where you choose like or dislike I would turn it way to like and then back to this like when my eyes went to the movie again. Yeah, and I agree It's a bad movie. You have a choice between this and a cat a cat which Ellie is allergic to I don't like cats But I prefer watching a cat lying down not doing anything to This guy with a mustache talking very closely to scanly glad women
Starting point is 00:33:32 As I said during the movie this is not the most boring movie we've watched But it is the stupidest movie we've watched. Yeah, it may be the stupidest movie I've ever seen So uh and this is the blurb that Zack Snyder. The stupidest movie. And I, I also call it a bad bad movie. Stupid. So, uh, rock stupid. Very stupid. It's rare that you see a movie and you're like, someone wrote this. Like, and then someone else read that and said, okay, we'll make this. And then like, 100 other people spent time working on it. Like, yeah, I mean, this is like, it's not a poorly made movie. Like, that's that and said okay we'll make this and then like hundred other people spent time working on it.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Yeah, I mean this is like it's not a poorly made movie like that's the thing. I mean it's not a the production values are high. You know I've known a girl or two in my life and I'm going to tell you not a single girl that I've yeah not a single girl that I've known has in her fantasy world it's all fucking sting punk zombies and samurai swords. Yeah, I mean, most girls couldn't give a shit about that stuff. Well, I've been going about this romance thing all wrong. I brought you a gift. It's a sailor moon costume. Yeah, and the samurai. In a
Starting point is 00:34:39 sammurized sword, you just put this on and pretend I'm a big pagoda head, you know, the sort of same right here. Are your thigh-high stockings and your World War Two bomber helmet? I issue these to all of my love interests. All of my lovers. And yeah, when you said I've known a girl or two, it sounded like it was the intro to Stewart Stories. And you're going to tell another tale of a woman loved and lost
Starting point is 00:35:07 The red shoe stewards the red stew diaries I know it's he gets the point for that one. Thank you. I think no, I think I mean I think we can you know We share credit on that. No, you know I I keep losing points So I'm Letters from letter hey you like this part Ellie. This is my favorite part of the show letters from readers
Starting point is 00:35:46 Letters from readers. What do they say? And what do we say in the return? Letters from readers, letters from readers, chatters from readers. I really hate anyone, Ellie, mix up songs. But the Linda from Wisconsin says, more songs please. All right, well, now that you're done with me. Frank Swap and Paris is on a pre-move more songs. Alright, enough, enough, enough, enough, but sheepish and dovelances. I am ambivalent about the songs. 50-50. So I guess I've decided on a keyspakey species. Dude, I said, dude. No, I just read the letter. In an accent.
Starting point is 00:36:31 This is my game. In American accent. My book. People, this is, this email is. Do Bob Kane. What? Greater Batman. People that sound like other people.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Is this the name of this email? People that sound like other people. Is this the name of this email? People that sound like other people. Yeah, I can't understand you. It's from Jeremiah last name with help. He says, I started listening about the same time the AV Club review came up and not via the AV Club. Oh, yes. He's an original he wants to make sure that he made fun of them. People He's saying that he was into it before he got popular. Look, it's a classic hipster move. Yeah. He's an OF, original flopper.
Starting point is 00:37:10 But he says, what I say. Yeah. And a man's a man. And a can's a can. I say that at dinner, in the bathroom. You do say that a lot. I do. A fan.
Starting point is 00:37:22 If you had a Marvel Comics card, and there was a quote on the back, it would say a fan's a fan. Stuart Wellington. No, sir. Stu Comics number one to fifty-seven. But he says, I assume that you'll be getting more letters to sort through from now on. Most of them offering Elliott lucrative contracts with major labels. I think he could be the next Rebecca Black. Yeah. Wait, what? I started down the next slide. I cast directly to my iPhone and had no idea what any of you look like I Cast mo raka as allied Jason Segal is Dan and Seth Rogen as the equally funny Stewart It's really close since these sound likes are so perfectly. I soon even told this before I
Starting point is 00:37:59 Don't like sounding like mo raka I was also wondering if you guys could attach a Google voice account your your email so listeners could quote call in and allow you to play the messages on their show. That's not a bad idea. That is a good idea. I will look into this place and play that. I never heard of Google voice. What is that like a voice mail for Google? I guess it's all in the name. I mean as for the sound of likes, you know, Elliot is less hunchbacked than Moraka, and Stuart and I are more... Or Rocknash, very good posture.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Well, then Jason's Seagull and Seth Rogen, but... Although my... The one-ernie too, Seth Rogen, and the cast, and the cast. I hooked up with a girl one time who described me as a cuter version of that guy and knocked up. So, thank you, Seth Rogen. Similarly, I need to get down to this next email, which, uh,
Starting point is 00:38:49 Are you sure that she didn't mean one of his weirdo friends that live in the house? I mean, he met John, she met John Hill. Probably John Hill. Yeah. I mean, I, I think I'm cuter than John Hill. He's got that, he's very cuddly. He's got that arm. But the, uh, the next, I don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:39:03 The next email is on a similar vein and it says Stuart Wellington. It's weird that his name sounds so regal so fancy Stuart Wellington you practically expect an S-quire or the third tacked on to the end and yet he sounds just like Seth Rogen. It throws me off. I feel like his name should be Dan. Elliot's name should be Stuart and Dan can stay Dan. Thank you I'm glad that I sound so regal keep up the good work guys. I suggest starting a huge battle with how did this get made? Well, I don't what name did they suggest for Stuart? Oh, yeah, like Ralph He said that His name should be Dan Slogo
Starting point is 00:39:41 Slogo and Dan can stay Dan, but is Dan, too. There's two Dan. That's doesn't, you know, you'll be Daniel. I'll be Danny. Like I'm just like old kid goofing off. Hang it out. Yeah, that's, that's fun. Well, Danny, because if you are Danny McCoy, you'd be that awesome character from Las Vegas.
Starting point is 00:39:59 The TV show, not the city. Oh, okay. You got it. Yeah, I think you're up to speed. Wait, what? Just wait. Wait, wait. 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, 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 Jason Bateman has two babies and Ryan Reynolds gives birth to two grown women. Yeah. And he grabs the by the butt. And Ellie and the boys. We're talking about the poster to this on the subway. What's called the switch amount? It's the switch. Is it switch a room? Isn't switch the movie where Jimmy Smith comes back as a lady?
Starting point is 00:40:36 No. A lady from Barkin and Jimmy's. Ellen Barkin's a lady and Jimmy Smith is the guy. Yeah. But she's not Jimmy Smith. No. No. No. He just, she just, the sexist guy died and came back as female.
Starting point is 00:40:48 As Ellen Barkin. As opposed to male Ellen Barkin. Male Ellen Barkin did not have a good career. As opposed to Elmo Barkin. No, but, yeah, no, Ellie, when I were talking about how creepy the, the poster for the, whatever the- The change switch. The change your mumps.
Starting point is 00:41:06 It makes a direct correlation between two babies into hot ladies in their underwear. And it kind of creeps us out a bit. Yeah, it's infantilizing them much the way Sucker Punch does, while still sexualizing them. It's kind of like Betty Boop, the sexy baby. So Ethan, last name was Halen. I hope baby. So Ethan last name was the hell my baby. I hope that answers your question.
Starting point is 00:41:28 What was the question? There was no question. Okay. What was the last thing they said? They wanted us to start a huge battle of how did this get made, which I think we could do if how did this get made was aware that we exist. I mean, it's kind of bad. I mean, is it like a wrestling match?
Starting point is 00:41:42 Because I mean, we might win. What do those guys look like? Are they like, oh, I imagine Weedy and kind of it's kind of like a wrestling match because I mean we might win one of those guys look like are they Imagine weedy and kind of I mean I think I think I think it's were equally physically matched with those guys I mean they do know I was an Olympic wrestler right? Right. Yeah in a dream I had I mean I'm not I'm did come up with the famous move the liberator Oh, yeah, well, I love to talk about the liberator liberator only if you know it when you see it. Yeah, but the I I have actually never listened to their podcast. I don't know what it's like. I listen to it once and I'm not saying I didn't care for that much
Starting point is 00:42:14 I just I Got a real job and I have less time for podcasts all of a sudden that's my problem sure I don't even know what we're talking about But I say there's enough room in the podcast of verse for two bad movie podcasts. Let's let the market decide. Or in fact, several bad movie podcasts. There are a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:42:34 This email is called Thanks in Two Requests. It says I found your podcast with the AV Club, and you guys are going to see someone who will admit it. My favorite podcast. I appreciate the honesty. Oh, that's nice. Favorite. Wow. Thank you. Two requests. Number one, can you guys not be so beholden to keeping individual show links to under an hour, although it doesn't happen often, the time limit allows for an organic and satisfactory end. There are a few times in discussion like J. Cross has been cut short on or recommendations abandoned in order to quote me on time.
Starting point is 00:43:07 If there's a technical or personal reason for the time limit, I would more than understand, but I feel like getting red of the time limit would allow for more opportunities for what your listeners love, including in no particular order, more appearances by the Flapphouse House cat. More! More, more wonderful more, more full size registered trademark. More opportunities for hacky screenplay pitches. More lists of things vaguely related to some rambling tangent. More words that sound like other words. Well, to answer that first up, there was a technical reason originally.
Starting point is 00:43:45 The older version of Garage Band tended to conch out after an hour. Now it's probably more that we're just tired after an hour. Well, I'm just amazed that someone is asking to hear more of us jabbering on. Yeah, I've heard more frequently. Less. Our friend Brad, in particular Stewart, is very keen on... Friend Brad last name with help. Yeah he would like us to cut the show to about half half of these grouchy and old. It sounds like a
Starting point is 00:44:11 young vibrant listener. Yeah someone we can count on to stay with us through all our many changes. I'm just saying that there are a plethora of different responses that people have. Let's teach the controversy. Often it's often it's a matter of time for us to because we do this after work, and it's late, and we're sweating because we took, turned the air conditioner off because we didn't want the constant, common the background. And we're wrestling.
Starting point is 00:44:33 And there's an old show, yeah. There's an old, I'm wearing parkas, and wail blower. There's an old showbiz. And it's just wasabi. And I started to get sleepy after about five beers. There's an old showbiz saying, always leave him wanting more. So that would show you like tease him a little bit.
Starting point is 00:44:56 I mean that tease him. You give him, yeah. You know, just the tip. Yeah, sure. Let's go on to the second request. Which I assume is Lady and Red. Lady and Red. It's go on to the second request. Which I assume is lady in red. Lady in red. It's actually careless with dancing. Oh, careless whisper. I don't know that. So this is the third voice sound related. Where are you looking at me?
Starting point is 00:45:21 The email of the evening. says, Why creep me out? Maybe it's because I listen mostly through the two times function, but Stuart's voice began to sound increasingly like that of the character of Krieger from the show Archer. It might be the dulcet and sonorous tones or the fascination obsession with hilarious non-sequitors and willingness to voice opinions from deep within the human id. I'm thinking specifically of his desire to finger bang the zooidationale for sure or really anytime he talks about porn from soft x to triple x. That's the guy with the uh the uh the scientist. Yeah the electronic girlfriend. Yeah. I actually
Starting point is 00:45:58 can see it. I can hear that. Okay. But it became an electronic girlfriend. Yeah of course. But it became an electronic girlfriend. Yeah, of course. She's pneumatic. Yeah, but it became hard. It's a sweat girl robot Hard to distinguish His sound from that of the cartoon character. I therefore request that he either stop talking about such topics or that he only talk about So topics his choice. Thanks. Thanks And it's really rules first name with hell's seagull Really was holding the first Very with holy I did all those Jason Segal that's the trick the trick the trick to be remembered is to give them something Give them your range. Yeah, give it make it different like sucker punch. Yeah, it's like it's like the game
Starting point is 00:46:37 Like how to hook up with a chick. So you got a trick. I thought you met the movie the game with Michael Douglas Well, yeah, and that you got a trick him to Here's a big trick. Yeah, there's Sean Penn's in it It's not really a fellow. He's in the first scene. Yeah, he's got a mustache though. I don't does he? I think you might be thinking of the assassination of Richard Nixon That's a movie. Yeah with Sean Penn. I don't watch that so So I guess what you're saying is you're just gonna you're gonna keep talking about sex stuff. Yeah, probably Don't stop trying to tie me down. Yeah, it's do it's got a fly free. Yeah, he's like the wind bird man
Starting point is 00:47:18 So this last big course light drink and bird This last legal in that case Big course light-drigging bird. This last... It's probably an eagle in that case. Yeah. Gonna fly like an eagle. This last email of the evening is titled... It's already so soon.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Animal wrangling. And it's that steward. I was so happy to hear Stewart was able to film some of my spout straps and landed off the daily show as an esteemed animal wrangler. Oh, I forgot that bit, I mean real bad. However, that joy soon turned into dread when I recalled a July 2008 Daily Show segment, featuring the talented Christian Shawl and previous animal wrangler carrying in a cougar
Starting point is 00:47:57 and placing her on John's lap. That segment provided the evidence I long suspected, the backstage of the daily show is waste deep in cougars. Of course cougars constant need for attention in lustful ways would be too much for a single animal wrangler. So my question for Stuart is where do you fall in the hierarchy of the daily show animal wrangling department? I'm an apprentice animal angler. I am not allowed to handle the cougars yet. That's why I stick with the score of Ian beans as I previously said. I can remember that. Yeah, but knowing you, you probably handle the boogers. I'll top 10. Got him. I don't know. I don't. I don't. I don't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't do it. I five. Okay. I five.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Is my job on the line. Yes. Okay. Yeah, you heard it folks. So boogers. Boogers. Like what were we talking about? You're you're made up job at the Daily Show. Made up job. We can go to the school. We can take about it. I'm trying to seem cool to our listeners, man. They, you know, you guys, they're cool. They think you guys have broken.
Starting point is 00:48:54 You guys have really nice. Yeah, you get super cool. Greed of Hornet. Like, they have a lot of me. I can see it on my phone now. The amount of space you get in these letters. Like you, I think you're shocking both of us. Yeah, come on. You're the King of the Letters. What get in these letters like you I think it's shocking both of us yeah come on you're the king of the letters what they're doing is that I think I think our listeners are like they think I'm the
Starting point is 00:49:11 low-man on the totem bowl because I don't have a lot of some cramley job obviously the down is the low-man on the totem bowl yeah well I agree on that I mean cyclops is a leader though you know. He's got Katana so it's a popularity though. Yeah, popular. I mean, if I was going to get an ninja table tattoo, that's how I'm popular. No, if I was going to get an Ninja Turtle tattooed in our like, if I was going to get their their sash that's over their
Starting point is 00:49:38 eyes, so the ninja calls, I call it like a band, a bandana. Yeah, I'm not going to get a tattoo of Leonardo's color bandana. I'd probably get Raphael. If I was gonna get a teenage Ninja Turtle tattoo, it would be Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, and then Raphael again. Wow. So they clone Raphael.
Starting point is 00:49:58 I don't know what happens. I just knew I'm happier with it than the Leonardo. I'd probably get B-Buffins Rock, you know. But then I'm kind of an owl. Oh yeah, enough said. Yeah Backster Stockman Well, that'd be you you Before after he becomes a fly
Starting point is 00:50:11 Before April Neil on a bikini. Well, no, maybe it's a cartoon character Would you touch April's boobs as As big a minute at dinosaur a guy asked did he also ask that yeah, he also touched April's boobs Yeah, wait a terror that was the other thing that they like the one of our letter writers discovered that the same guy asked Penny meditation. Did he referencing that somebody on the internet asked a question about whether or not you would be Well a person would want to touch April O'Neill the character from The she's a reporter I guess she, I guess. She's a reporter. She's a newswoman.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Whether or not a person would want to touch a cartoon character's boobs. Yeah. Okay. I am referencing what your answer is, Stuart. Yes, of course. That's what I figured. So now that we've settled that, we should move on to our final segment of the show,
Starting point is 00:51:02 which is recommendations, movies that we would actually recommend that people watch rather than say sucker punch. I would recommend any movie rather than sucker punch. Go to the video store, close your eyes, pick up a video tape box, open your eyes. If it's sucker punch, put it down. Otherwise, watch it. What if it's nothing but trouble? Oh, that's a tough one and all i got that stuff that's one of those
Starting point is 00:51:28 eat a book or sandwich or who've been public got a question that's a hard one answer uh... that's a bad movie any who would recommend a movie yes what you want to uh... what i get this movie story of the itself i'll recommend a uh... forts new war called Deadline at Dawn.
Starting point is 00:51:49 It's a strange little film noir that doesn't totally make sense, but it's a lot of fun about a sailor on leave who is, it looks like he's committed a murder and he picks up a taxi dancing girl and basically she tries to help him to figure out who the real murder was. But there are a lot of crazy like funny side characters that are introduced and the screenplay, at least at one stage, was written by Clifford Odex, the playwright, and there's a lot of really good snappy dialogue and just kind of funny lines and things like that. And it's a lot of fun. It doesn't make any sense, but it's a good fun movie. I watched a...
Starting point is 00:52:29 So that's Deadline at Dawn. I watched Tangled recently a movie that your sister-in-law's boyfriend actually worked on. Yes. A nice gentleman who got me free tickets to Disneyland. He is a very nice guy. So, thanks to you. Thanks to him. Thanks to you. Thanks to him. tickets to Disneyland. He is a very nice guy. So, thanks to you. Thanks to him.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Thanks to him. But you wouldn't know him without me. It's really thanks to both of you. But I also enjoy him. I'm gonna get in trouble for doing talk. Thanks for the man. Probably not. No one knows this podcast exists. I don't think Michael Eisner is sitting at home
Starting point is 00:52:59 waiting for the next episode of the flop has to come out. Well, I don't know, but I'm also telling him how much I like tangled. So keep going. Tango? Yeah, tangled cash. That's what I was going to recommend. I'll have to think of something else now.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Now, I like tangled. It was a, you know, this was Disney Studios, a computer animation division. A film that came out after Pixar had taken over Disney at large and I don't know whether it's good in part because I understand, or is it, no John Lester, sorry, of Pixar kind of came in and reconsexualized it or it's just the natural like creative up swing after creative lag But it was a really nice sort of combination of old-style Disney like princess films and sort of like a newer like Pixar aesthetic I really enjoyed and it's got some really good voice work. I was surprised at how good Mandy Moore was as Rapunzel and Zachary Levi was very funny as the male lead who's Zachary Levi
Starting point is 00:54:10 People might know him from TV's Chuck you probably would not but other people would I don't like that show Yeah, but he was funny in this that's a show. Yeah, it's a show about a TV's spy a spy Nerd show a nerd spy. He's not really a nerd though. Yeah, he's like a spy, a spy, a nerd spy. He's not really a nerd though. Yeah, he's like a spy, isn't he? He's a handsome guy. He's not that he's handsome
Starting point is 00:54:30 and there's nothing really nerdy about him. He's a handsome man. So he's about to show about a handsome spy. There's an episode, what turned me off a chock? A spy, but here's the twist, he's a handsome guy. What is it? I've just, we'll call it the handsome spy. The spy who was handsome.
Starting point is 00:54:46 That what what turned me off about Chuck when I've watched an episode of it was partly that I didn't like it But also that sure you didn't laugh or smile. I didn't enjoy it But there's also it's a movie where people are constantly saying secret spy said it's a movie to TV show Okay, people are constantly saying secret spy stuff right in front of other people who aren't supposed to know what they're talking about. So like Chuck and his spy handler are talking in a public fast food restaurant with families eating dinner all around them about spy stuff. And there's a part where a guy who is supposed to be an ally of Chuck but has really got sinister connections, he's at, he's around all these other spy people and he just turns away from them and gets on the phone and goes, don't worry, everything's going according to plan. It's like, they're standing like a foot away from you. I mean, that's another room.
Starting point is 00:55:29 So I should watch, show. You should watch Tangled. Okay, Tangled. And Stuart, what we're gonna recommend, Tangled. Tangled on Crash. Oh, I'm a Shash nation Tangled.

There's a ton of them. I don't think they're right about that. It's a movie that is a lot of fun. There's a lot better action than the movie we watched today. It moves along at a good clip.
Starting point is 00:56:34 And it's, I don't know, for a movie that about characters that there's a million other movies and comics and stuff for Lupin, master thief. Lupin the third. Yeah.

I mean, but do you feel like you came out on the other side stronger? Yeah, obviously a weaker much weaker I feel like anything could kill me now chickenpox a tiny cat Maybe a leaf flowing in the wind.
