FH Mini 88 - Motion Picture Puzzle Palace

[0:00] Hey, yep, that's right, this is the Flop House Mini, welcome back, this is a mini episode

[0:10] of the Flop House Podcast, a podcast that's normally about reviewing movies and talking

[0:14] about it, but instead we're going to be doing something a little bit different.

[0:17] We are joined by our three hosts, that's right, I'm Stuart Wellington, my other hosts are...

[0:22] Dan McCoy, are you joining, you're joining yourselves, sorry, go on.

[0:26] And I'm Elliot Kalin, and I can't wait to tell you later in the episode about our next

[0:30] episode of Flop TV, which will be one week from the day this airs, and our also live

[0:35] show in Los Angeles, October 19th, I'll tell you all about that later in the episode.

[0:39] But Dan, you had a question about whether Stuart was joining himself, and I think we

[0:41] need to really tease this out, let's untangle this.

[0:45] So are there two sides of your personality, one is the host and one is Stuart Wellington,

[0:50] or were you astral?

[0:52] That's a great question, Dan, so you are joining us, this is the Flop House, this is

[0:58] not just a regular podcast, listeners are also joining us, so there's a lot of joining

[1:01] going on today.

[1:02] Everyone's joining.

[1:04] So welcome to...

[1:05] I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member, that's the problem.

[1:08] And they would not have you either, Dan, ironically, the club that would have you as a member still

[1:11] would reject you.

[1:13] Welcome to another episode of the Flop House Motion Picture Puzzle Palace, everybody's favorite

[1:21] game show.

[1:22] It's another episode.

[1:23] It's another episode, this is the very first one.

[1:25] Yeah, everybody loves MPPP, yeah, the Flop House MPPP.

[1:28] Yeah, you know me.

[1:29] So this is a game where our two contestants, Dan McCoy and Elliot Kalin, are going to be

[1:34] competing for big money prizes, I'll tell you how much later after the show.

[1:39] Now, the rules of the game, the rules of the game are as simple as they are devious.

[1:48] First rule is you guys can't use Google or IMDB at all during this game.

[1:52] But at least as simple as it is devious, it might be low for both.

[1:56] It might be complicated and not devious.

[1:58] All we know is that they're at equal levels.

[2:00] Yeah, there is a clear ratio between the two.

[2:03] Now the rules of the game, I'm going to...

[2:08] It's broken down into categories, and each category, we have a number of movies.

[2:11] I'm going to name the title of a movie, give a short synopsis, and maybe a couple of the

[2:15] actors that play main roles.

[2:18] And you can either draw on your past experience or basically on any kind of context clues.

[2:25] And what you are each going to do is try and guess what the average user rating on IMDB

[2:30] for that movie is.

[2:32] Whoever gets closest gets the point, okay?

[2:34] And then whoever has the most points at the end, that's right, they win the game.

[2:39] Okay, they're just simple and devious.

[2:42] It's very simple and devious.

[2:44] Who knows?

[2:45] Maybe we'll do a special switcheroo?

[2:47] We'll find out.

[2:48] So, we are going to...

[2:50] You guys ready to play the game?

[2:51] I'm so ready.

[2:52] Okay, so before...

[2:53] Yeah, let's do it.

[2:54] Actually, before we get in here...

[2:55] No, let's do the first question, then we'll find out a little bit about you guys.

[2:58] Let's not do it.

[2:59] Okay, let's do it.

[3:00] Oh, okay.

[3:01] And now there's a get to know you section.

[3:03] So the first movie...

[3:04] Damn, this is a professional televised game show.

[3:06] Yeah, yeah.

[3:07] There's always a get to know you section for me to skip when I'm watching it later.

[3:10] So the first category is plain movies.

[3:15] Movies that are not complicated, no flavor, no cheese on them, just plain.

[3:21] I mean, I don't know if you're describing the categories.

[3:23] I'm the host.

[3:24] You're just one of the contestants.

[3:25] I'm just guessing.

[3:26] Just one of the contestants.

[3:27] When you said a plain...

[3:28] Or do you mean a movie that is a flat topography, that kind of plain?

[3:32] So the first movie is plain.

[3:38] A pilot finds himself caught in a war zone after he's forced to land his commercial aircraft

[3:43] during a terrible storm.

[3:45] This movie stars Gerard Butler and Michael Coulter and Tony Goldwyn.

[3:54] Dan, you get the first crack at this bad boy.

[3:57] Have you seen this movie?

[3:58] Do you know anything about plain?

[3:59] I've seen plain.

[4:00] Okay.

[4:01] Would you describe it as anything but?

[4:06] I would describe it as it passes the low bar of being probably the best Gerard Butler movie

[4:12] in a while.

[4:14] I would call it what our friends over at Blank Check would say, a gentleman's six.

[4:20] And so in that spirit, I'm going to guess that the IMDb rating is six.

[4:24] I don't know whether I was supposed to do that yet, but I did.

[4:27] That's fine.

[4:28] Elliot?

[4:29] I was also going to guess a six, but I feel like now I've got to stake out different territories.

[4:31] So I'm going to say like a 5.8, which is still pretty close.

[4:35] Guys, Dan gets the point, 6.5.

[4:37] Wow, you were a little harsh.

[4:40] Well, I mean, honestly, I could have gone even higher.

[4:45] I do think that this is the kind of sort of like just meat and potatoes movie that the

[4:51] average IMDb user is not going to get so mad at that it'll drive it down, but they're not

[4:57] going to go gaga over it.

[4:59] Okay, guys, next movie is Snakes on a Plane.

[5:05] Should I describe the synopsis or are you both intimately familiar with the movie?

[5:08] I saw this with Elliot, maybe, but I believe so in the theaters, a very empty theater.

[5:13] Yeah.

[5:14] I think it was us and was it Eric?

[5:16] Yeah, probably was us and Eric Marceczak, friend of the show.

[5:20] For listeners at home who aren't familiar and don't want to Google it, a FBI agent takes

[5:25] a plane full of deadly venomous snakes deliberately released to kill a witness being flown from

[5:30] Honolulu, Los Angeles to testify against too much information.

[5:34] Oh, a mob boss.

[5:37] Sorry, the description.

[5:38] I thought the description was super long.

[5:40] Okay, I was incorrect.

[5:41] No, but it was only two.

[5:42] It was only three words longer.

[5:44] Do you guys do you guys need to know the stars?

[5:46] I think I could list a lot of the stars.

[5:49] You got, of course, Sam Jackson, Julianna Margulies, Kenan Thompson is in that.

[5:55] A lot of CGI snakes.

[5:57] Uh-huh.

[5:58] There's that anonymous actor.

[5:59] Oh, Lin Shay.

[6:00] Lin Shay is in that.

[6:01] There's the actor whose name I don't remember who has the immortal line, get off my dick.

[6:07] Do you have a snake that's bitten him in the penis?

[6:09] I feel like you're doing the line a disservice by not putting any effort into the delivery.

[6:13] Well, I'm not an actor.

[6:14] He put a lot of delivery.

[6:15] Is Jayma Maze in that or is it just an actress who looks kind of like Jayma Maze?

[6:18] I think it might be someone who just is a like a look.

[6:24] Okay, so Bobby Cannavale, oh, he plays a snake.

[6:29] The man who saved Richard Kind's life.

[6:31] Oh, and David Beckner, yeah.

[6:33] Okay, so Elliot, since Dan got the last one, why don't you give a shot on this one?

[6:39] What do you think?

[6:40] I'm going to say 7.5.

[6:43] I'm going to say that the IMGB general public does not have the love of camp that you and

[6:49] I did when we enjoyed Snakes on a Plane and had a good time.

[6:52] I'm going to say 5.3.

[6:54] 5.5?

[6:55] Dan is fucking good at this shit.

[6:57] Dan, you're so good.

[6:58] Speaking of Dan, you're so good at this, why don't we learn a little bit about you, Dan?

[7:02] It says you're from Illinois, what's that all about?

[7:05] See this is why, I'm from the heartland, I'm a man of the people.

[7:09] It's hard for me to judge these scores, but Dan, you're from the real America, Illinois.

[7:17] I went to college at Earlham College, where I met Stuart Wellington of the Fluff House.

[7:24] Yeah, I'm just glad to be here.

[7:28] We're glad to have you.

[7:29] Now, let's move on.

[7:33] Our next movie is...

[7:34] Elliot, not as interesting.

[7:35] No one needs to know about him.

[7:37] I'm assuming that you'll get your own spotlight later in the show.

[7:40] Thank goodness, if only.

[7:41] If only.

[7:42] My chance at stardom.

[7:43] We have 2004's Soul Plane.

[7:45] Ugh.

[7:46] It's a comedy?

[7:47] So there's only one plane?

[7:48] A soul plane?

[7:49] Mm-hmm.

[7:50] S-O-L-E?

[7:51] Nope, it's a S-O-U-L plane.

[7:54] Things get raucously funny aboard the maiden flight of a black-owned airline, thanks to

[8:01] some last-minute passenger additions.

[8:04] Snakes?

[8:05] I don't believe so.

[8:09] Do you need to know any of the stars?

[8:11] Because one of them is Snoop Dogg.

[8:14] Oh.

[8:15] Tom Arnold.

[8:16] So there's a dog on the plane.

[8:17] Right.

[8:18] Right.

[8:19] I do remember that Tom Arnold was in Soul Plane.

[8:21] Method Man.

[8:22] Godfrey.

[8:23] Wow.

[8:24] Yeah.

[8:25] It's a pretty big cast.

[8:26] All the stars.

[8:27] Wait, who goes first?

[8:28] It's your turn, Dan.

[8:29] Okay.

[8:30] I'm gonna guess that this is a movie that, you know, critics scoffed at, but has, at

[8:31] this point, a cult following.

[8:32] Mm-hmm.

[8:33] And I'm gonna go with a 5.8.

[8:34] 5.8.

[8:35] Okay.

[8:36] Elliot?

[8:37] I'm gonna go lower than that.

[8:38] Uh-huh.

[8:39] I'm gonna say it's a 4.

[8:40] A 4.

[8:41] A 4.

[8:42] A 4.

[8:43] A 4.

[8:44] A 4.

[8:45] A 4.

[8:46] A 4.

[8:47] A 4.

[8:48] A 4.

[8:49] A 4.

[8:50] A 4.

[8:51] A 4.

[8:52] A 4.

[8:53] A 4.

[8:54] A 4.

[8:55] A 4.

[8:56] Elliot gets it.

[8:57] 4.5.

[8:58] Ooh.

[8:59] Dan, I feel you were being a little charitable.

[9:00] Now, Elliot, you were the harsher one.

[9:01] Is that because you come from New Jersey, America?

[9:02] That's right.

[9:03] I'm from New Jersey, where we're very highly critical of everything.

[9:07] We don't even want to remember stuff.

[9:09] Forget about it, we say.

[9:10] It's not worth sticking in your memory and keeping in your brain.

[9:13] Yeah.

[9:14] Throw it in your metal trash can.

[9:18] Now guys, we're about to do the last movie of the round.

[9:21] This is a Flophouse-favorite.

[9:23] That's right, Money Plane from 2020.

[9:26] Oh, starring Kelsey Grammer as the Rumble.

[9:29] Yep.

[9:30] Starring a professional thief with $40 million in debt and his family's life on the line

[9:36] must commit one final heist, rob a futuristic, um, airborne casino filled with the world's

[9:46] most dangerous criminals.

[9:48] By futuristic, they mean it has one bed on it?

[9:51] Yeah.

[9:52] Yep.

[9:53] Ooh, yeah.

[9:54] Uh, so, uh, Elliot, you just got the last one.

[9:57] Why don't we, uh, why don't we hear from you in this?

[10:00] Money Plane, I'm going to say that that is, I don't want to sound, uh, I'm also going to,

[10:06] I'm going to give this one a 4.8. I know I'm still sticking in the same territory,

[10:11] but it is a movie that is... Did you just give it a higher rating than the last movie?

[10:15] Than Soul Plane? Yeah.

[10:17] Only because Soul Plane was up at 4.5. This one, I'll tell you that it had, it's not very good.

[10:22] It is hilarious. Uh, but I think it's got probably more action in it than Soul Plane.

[10:27] And I think IMDB users, they like to reward action. I feel like, yeah, maybe I'm wrong.

[10:33] Dan knows them better than me. Again. Dan is like, he's he, I know he's more of a letterboxed guy

[10:38] and he's very religious about reviewing every movie he sees on letterboxed giving it straight

[10:43] through. Well, the way it says that sounds like a burn. Sometimes it's really, I, and I admire

[10:49] that Dan has the stick to this. I joined letterboxed and found I did not care enough

[10:52] to tell people what I thought about movies in that format. You know, I admire that Dan does.

[10:57] I feel like you should consider it a opportunity to not have to answer your children's demands.

[11:04] That's not how children work. I can't say to them, Hey, hold on a second. I'm writing a review of

[11:10] what I saw. Yeah. I'm writing a review of the murder of Mr. Devil, a check filled with the

[11:14] sixties on letterboxed. Hold on. And they'll go, Oh, of course, daddy, this is more important than

[11:18] me demanding a snack. You don't have, you could just, you could just star rate them. You don't

[11:23] have to write anything. I would love to see what you're, you're watching by being able to subscribe

[11:28] to your, you don't have to write like a witty review. If you don't need to, you know, maybe

[11:32] I'll spend some time in the next couple of days updating it with the, with the things I've watched

[11:35] since the last time I started rating personal growth. Yeah. I want to say, what are we dropping

[11:41] with regards to me writing letterboxed reviews? Uh, you do, and you write them very well. They're

[11:45] very good reviews. Thank you. I, but I also, if I have something to say, I made this rule for

[11:51] myself. I will write something about all of them. If I have something to say that will turn into

[11:57] an actual review. Occasionally, if I don't feel like I'm going to add anything to the discourse

[12:02] or I'm tired, it'll just be a one line joke. So it was very freeing when I thought to myself,

[12:09] like, well, I will write something for everything, but it won't necessarily be insightful all the

[12:13] time. Um, but, uh, thank you for, if you, you know, if there are any listeners, follow me,

[12:19] um, on letterbox, not in your name, but you don't follow me around. Um,

[12:24] you will be bored. That's a, your username is, uh, uh, vampire lover 69, right? Yeah. I mean,

[12:30] if you try and follow me, yeah. What would you get a lot of standing outside the house,

[12:36] which I rarely leave, uh, and either me going to yoga, a movie or a picket line.

[12:43] And those are the things. And if, and if you're a stranger, Dan will be

[12:46] very concerned that you're approaching him until you tell him you like the show,

[12:51] then he'll love you. No, it's true. I did. I tell you this too. I didn't don't think I told

[12:54] this on the show, but someone approached me in union square and they had a city bike.

[12:59] And like, because you know, this was when you were, uh, riding. Cause he didn't get a PS five.

[13:05] That's a topical reference. I don't know what that joke is. Yeah. That's the story I missed.

[13:09] I'm on the other side. No, I was, it was after a picket and I was going to the subway and they

[13:14] had a city bike and a bag of pretzels and they like drifted towards me. And I'm like,

[13:19] why is this cyclist, you know, like crowding me. And then they said, Dan McCoy, I think you're

[13:25] great. I'm like, Oh, okay. Like my affects, you know, as long as you're there to just say one

[13:30] nice thing and then right on. Yep. Enjoy your presence somewhere else. Dan closes the box

[13:35] cutter. He keeps in his pocket. Well, yeah, he already put his keys between his knuckles.

[13:42] I want to make it clear. It's nothing that you're doing as the public. It is me as a,

[13:46] as a human who doesn't know how to relate to people. I haven't logged a lot of time with

[13:51] already. Um, the coolest thing is when he puts those keys between his knuckles, knuckles, he says

[13:56] snicket. Um, okay. Well, sorry to money plane. Yeah. Money plane. What do you think this is?

[14:05] I'm glad Elliot brought up my letterbacks, letter, letterbacks, letterbox. I want my

[14:10] letterbacks, letterbacks, letterbacks. I want my letterbacks. Dan mispronounces words.

[14:16] I don't know that the rest of the world is what I am, which is an ironist who, uh,

[14:23] will rate things according to my own personal enjoyment of them issuing the idea of objective,

[14:31] you know, ratings of art and just talking about how I felt. Yeah. Some people are Virgos. Yeah.

[14:38] Um, so I think although money plane gives great pleasure to the viewer,

[14:44] uh, I'm going to say that the average viewer would rate it a four.

[14:50] The rating is 3.2. Dan gets the point. Oh, so you are blowing me out of the water with this game.

[14:59] It is Dan three, Elliot one. Are you guys ready for the next startling category?

[15:06] How startling is it? I might never be ready for that. Yeah. Yeah. The next category is extra

[15:13] cheese. Oh, you idiots. I can't believe you fell for it. You thought we were playing the flop house

[15:23] motion picture puzzle palace. But in fact, we are playing the flop house motion picture pizza

[15:29] parlor where all the categories are pizza related. I did fall for it. You just told me

[15:37] a thing for you at your word. I do feel like a like a real fool. Yeah. Okay. Why did I believe

[15:43] you? Okay. Well, now here the scores are to double. Oh, okay. So it's extra cheese. That's

[15:53] why the scores are doubled. So the first movie that was startling, I don't know if I'm ever going

[15:59] to get over the shame and the shock of misunderstanding what game we were playing.

[16:04] The first movie in this category is the extra cheese category is ET the extra terrestrial.

[16:12] Because they eat pizza in one part. No extra, extra cheese, extra terrestrial.

[16:20] Keep up. I thought it was going to be pizza themed. I thought so too. I mean,

[16:24] maybe I'm misremembering it. I thought it was explicitly said that was the case.

[16:27] That's confusing. Okay. So, okay. Wait, whose turn is it? Well, let me explain ET the extraterrestrial.

[16:36] Yeah, we got to figure out what kind of movie this is in case we haven't heard of it. Yep. A

[16:39] troubled child summons the courage to help a friendly alien escape from Earth and return to

[16:45] his home planet. Okay. Do you guys need to know the director? I think that that's Mr. Steven

[16:53] Spielberg. Okay. You don't get extra credit, but good pull, Dan. Have you guys seen this one?

[17:00] Yeah. No, I'm familiar with this movie. It traumatized me as a child and I've enjoyed it

[17:07] as an adult. I always like it when ads will mention, they'll reset, they'll advertise an

[17:13] old movie by mentioning the newest movie a director made. Do you think there's ever an

[17:17] ad for ET on DVD that said from the director of Terminal? I hope so. You know, Audrey has never

[17:26] seen ET, but she saw a clip of it at like a pre-show at a movie that we watched. And I was

[17:33] like, oh, you know, like I've given up on trying to be like, oh, you should see this movie because

[17:38] number one, she ignores it. And number two, like, I don't want to be like too much of.

[17:43] Yeah, there's no wonder guy. But I mean, all I will say is like, I think you will like that one

[17:49] and then pass on. But other people were like really trying to push ET on her where they

[17:52] couldn't find faith. And she's like, it's too sad. It looks too sad. And like the she'd seen

[17:58] the scene like after ET recovers, but it's still sick. And I'm like, oh, you didn't even see the

[18:04] saddest part. But we were all trying to convince her like it is happily, you know, just because

[18:09] a sad thing happens in a movie, you can still. Yeah. So spoilers for ET, a movie or the human

[18:15] experience. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And where they are. There's no happy without said it's the great

[18:19] wheel. Yeah. Yeah. I'm OK. Same coin. Happy. Sad goes. We're not so different. You and I

[18:26] do sides of the same coin. You're right. We are alike because Dan is in the lead. He is going to

[18:33] have to shoot his shot first. Well, this was for a very long time, the highest grossing movie ever.

[18:43] So it must have connected with people. I'm going to say until the Zack Snyder JLA Justice League

[18:48] cut came out. Right. Mm hmm. I'm going to say just because there are a few spoiled sports out there

[18:53] who, you know, are grumps. Eight point seven. Elliott, I'm going to give it a perfect nine.

[19:00] Guys, seven point nine. Wow. That's objectively stupid. A lot of objectively stupid score for ET.

[19:09] But that's a damn point. That's a dumb score. It is a bad score. Yeah, I think we can all agree.

[19:14] So in the extra cheese category, the next movie is Swiss Army Man. OK, yeah, this is closer to

[19:25] cheese. Man, a hopeless man stranded on a deserted island befriends a dead body and together they go

[19:34] on a surreal journey to get home from Oscar winners, the Daniels. Mm hmm. Do you need any

[19:41] more information? Are you guys familiar with this movie? I could tell it's what Paul Dano and Daniel

[19:47] Radcliffe. Right. Yeah. I never I never saw it at the time because the idea of a farting corpse

[19:54] movie didn't appeal to me. There's not that much farting in it. There's less now. OK,

[19:58] I mean, now that I like.

[20:00] everything, everywhere, all at once, I'm curious to go back.

[20:02] Have you seen it?

[20:03] Yes, Swiss Army Man I had seen before

[20:05] Everything, Everywhere, All at Once,

[20:06] and it feels like Swiss Army Man is,

[20:09] they have all the ingenuity and inventiveness

[20:12] of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once

[20:13] without a real story or a thing to say,

[20:16] so it feels like young artists experimenting with technique

[20:20] before they hit on meaning,

[20:22] and they come to a fruition, a culmination

[20:24] with Everything, Everywhere, All at Once,

[20:25] but there's good stuff in it.

[20:26] It's a fun movie, you know?

[20:28] And that's the kind of thing where like,

[20:31] because there's like a youthful exuberance to it

[20:33] or inventiveness, a viewer might attach meaning to it

[20:37] and like it quite a bit.

[20:39] Yeah, yeah, I think so.

[20:40] I mean, at times it gets a little twee, you know?

[20:44] In that kind of, the only way I can really describe it

[20:47] is in that kind of like indie luminaires type quality

[20:52] feeling, you know, where something is reaching for emotion

[20:57] but is failing, but it's-

[20:59] So like this sort of thing where you're like,

[21:02] why would we wear belts when we can just wear rope instead?

[21:05] I guess, something like that.

[21:08] But-

[21:09] Technology never got better

[21:10] than the good old-fashioned rope.

[21:12] Okay.

[21:13] It's the kind of movie where there's scenes

[21:14] of like people on a deserted island

[21:15] using the stuff around them

[21:16] to like recreate modern life experiences in low-tech ways.

[21:20] And, but there's good stuff in it.

[21:21] It's a good movie.

[21:22] It's just like,

[21:23] it's not what Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is,

[21:24] but that's Swiss Army Man.

[21:26] I give it.

[21:26] Okay.

[21:27] Oh yeah, do you wanna shoot your shot, Elliot?

[21:29] Oh, it's so hard because for IMDb,

[21:33] IMDb swings wildly between Dan, middle of the road,

[21:38] all American, you know, mainstream corn.

[21:41] And also it swings wildly between that

[21:44] and people who think they are real like cine-ass elites

[21:48] and want to show off what they've watched

[21:50] and things like that.

[21:51] Not as much as Letterboxd,

[21:53] but shots fired, bang, bang.

[21:56] But I feel like you never can be quite sure,

[21:59] but I'm gonna say 4.9 from IMDb.

[22:05] I think it's a better movie than that,

[22:06] but I'm gonna say that IMDb gives it a 4.9.

[22:09] Dan, I'm gonna give it a 5.3.

[22:16] 6.9.

[22:17] Wow.

[22:18] Oh wow, higher than I would have expected.

[22:19] That is only a full point away from ET,

[22:22] the extraterrestrial.

[22:23] Which is again, Swiss Army Man is not a bad movie,

[22:26] but it's not one point less than ET.

[22:29] ET is gonna be far higher than that.

[22:30] But here's the thing, we're also,

[22:32] I keep forgetting, it's a self-selecting audience

[22:34] who's gonna see and then rate Swiss Army Man, you know?

[22:39] Although you always do get a surprisingly large contingent

[22:44] of people who have just seemed to have stumbled

[22:46] over a thing and watched it

[22:48] and been entirely disgusted by it.

[22:52] Which is like, I understand that this is like

[22:55] a normal way to interact with art,

[22:57] but it is so foreign to me to like the idea of like,

[23:01] well, I know absolutely nothing about this movie

[23:04] and I'm going to stick with it all the way through

[23:07] if I don't like it.

[23:08] And I'm gonna watch the whole,

[23:09] Dan, a lot of people have a lot of time

[23:10] to kill in their lives.

[23:11] Yeah.

[23:12] And for a lot of people,

[23:13] it's hard to stop watching a movie.

[23:15] It's hard that once they start,

[23:16] once they pop, they can't stop.

[23:19] That's great.

[23:20] Yeah.

[23:21] That's what I think about movies.

[23:22] Speechless.

[23:23] Once they pop culture, they can't stop culture.

[23:25] Yeah.

[23:26] Oh, yeah.

[23:28] So our next movie in the category of cheese, extra cheese

[23:33] is a movie from South Korea titled Cheese in the Trap.

[23:38] Now this is based on, I believe, a webtoon or a web comic.

[23:42] And there's also been a TV show of the same name

[23:45] and I believe a plot.

[23:47] I'm assuming you're unfamiliar,

[23:48] so let me give a quick synopsis.

[23:49] I need to know the plot and cast, please.

[23:52] Hong-Sol is an ordinary university student.

[23:55] She is busy working part-time jobs

[23:57] to pay for her tuition fee and living expenses.

[24:01] Yoo-Jung is her senior at the same university.

[24:05] He seems perfect.

[24:06] He comes from a wealthy family.

[24:07] He has a kind attitude to others and he is handsome,

[24:10] but Hong-Sol does not feel comfortable around Yoo-Jung.

[24:14] And suddenly, Yoo-Jung comes and talks to her.

[24:17] He wants to go out on a date.

[24:22] Oh, that's it.

[24:25] Okay.

[24:27] It's a real slice-of-life, slice-of-cheese movie.

[24:29] Am I up?

[24:30] Yeah, Dan, you gotta switch the shot first.

[24:32] I think that for the reasons

[24:35] that Elliot actually just mentioned

[24:37] about it being a self-selecting group

[24:40] that rates a lot of these things,

[24:42] this seems like it's part of kind of a family

[24:48] of stuff like a franchise.

[24:51] So I'm gonna say that the fans came

[24:55] and they gave this a 7.4.

[24:58] Okay.

[24:59] Okay, I'm gonna need to know some of the cast

[25:01] before I can make my accurate rating.

[25:06] Min-Soo Go.

[25:07] Okay.

[25:08] Park Hae-Jin.

[25:11] Yoo In-Young.

[25:14] Doc Young-Jo.

[25:16] Man, I'm crushed.

[25:18] Yeah, this information is less helpful

[25:20] than I thought it might be.

[25:22] Let's say, I think, so Dan,

[25:23] what do you say, a seven point something?

[25:25] Four.

[25:26] Seven point four. I'm gonna do the opposite way.

[25:27] I'm gonna say the fans came and they were so mad

[25:29] about how it wrecked with the source material

[25:31] that they gave it a two.

[25:32] 2.2.

[25:33] Oh, man, now I have to do some fucking math.

[25:35] They're so mad. Oh, boy.

[25:36] They're so furious about it.

[25:37] Okay, well, it's somewhere in the middle.

[25:40] It is in the middle.

[25:41] It is 5.7, which is closer to Dan.

[25:45] Oh.

[25:46] Okay.

[25:46] I'm guessing the fans were balanced out

[25:48] by the fans who hated this adaptation.

[25:50] Yeah, yeah.

[25:51] Okay, so me and Dan.

[25:53] It's interesting about this game is that

[25:54] you don't get penalized for going over

[25:56] as you do in some other games, yeah.

[25:59] Well, that's to prevent that, you know,

[26:01] the gamesmanship.

[26:03] I don't like it.

[26:04] I don't like it.

[26:05] I never liked that rule.

[26:06] I think it should just be whoever's closest.

[26:08] Whoever's closest.

[26:09] Wise words from the guy winning the game.

[26:12] Okay, guys.

[26:13] A long-standing conviction that just happens to come into play.

[26:16] Just happens to be helping you quite a bit.

[26:18] This is the last movie in the-

[26:19] Dan's always loved the Electoral College.

[26:22] Just because he's lost the popular vote

[26:24] in every election and yet somehow

[26:26] remains president of the Flop House, yeah.

[26:28] Look, our founding fathers made it that way

[26:30] for a reason, Elliot.

[26:32] I hate, I want to make it clear.

[26:34] I don't like the Electoral College, actually.

[26:36] I don't know.

[26:37] He's winking at me when he says he doesn't like

[26:38] the Electoral College.

[26:39] Do the strict popular vote in this country.

[26:41] And he's staring at his poster of Donald Trump, you know?

[26:45] And kissing him, oh wow.

[26:47] Not existing.

[26:48] He has, what, it's an original Ben Garrison cartoon?

[26:50] That you have for him?

[26:52] That guy is a nut.

[26:54] I understand.

[26:59] Yeah, I know, it's hilarious.

[27:00] That's why you bought it.

[27:01] I get how they're like,

[27:02] they have people with different political views than me,

[27:05] you know, writing these like highly conservative

[27:09] but his cartoons, with a buff Donald Trump.

[27:14] Oh yeah, I know those ones.

[27:15] Ugh, okay, the last movie.

[27:18] What I love, anyone who does cartoons,

[27:21] where the cartoons don't have a joke,

[27:23] but it's just like, it's just a metaphor

[27:25] for how cool he thinks something is, yeah.

[27:27] Yeah, yep.

[27:28] He's up there with, I forget the name of the artist

[27:30] who does those paintings of all the founding fathers

[27:32] crying as Barack Obama stops on a flag.

[27:35] Okay, so the final movie in the category of extra cheese

[27:39] is titled, Mozzarella Stories from 2011.

[27:43] So this is a, wait, oh, this is a movie, okay.

[27:46] I thought this was another category

[27:47] in extra cheese for a moment.

[27:48] No, yeah, it's a subcategory.

[27:52] Oh man, I should have had subcategories.

[27:54] Ciccio D.O.P., the king of mozzarella in the south of Italy,

[27:59] is the most popular movie in the category of extra cheese.

[28:02] Ciccio D.O.P., the king of mozzarella in the south of Italy,

[28:05] is provoking a number of events

[28:08] as he sees his empire threatened by the Chinese producers.

[28:13] That's just a good summarizer.

[28:14] Oh, he's provoking a number of events?

[28:14] Provoking a number of events.

[28:16] I can see it now.

[28:21] Painted a real picture in my brain.

[28:21] I would say the biggest-

[28:24] In Robert McKee's story, he says,

[28:25] the protagonist should be active

[28:27] and always be provoking events,

[28:28] a number of them if possible.

[28:32] Our biggest name in this one is Ada Turturro.

[28:37] Okay.

[28:38] She plays Autilia.

[28:41] Yeah, this sounds to me like something

[28:42] that did well at Sundance and then disappeared.

[28:45] Which, by the way, guys, I gotta say,

[28:46] at some point, the AMPTP is gonna offer a fair deal

[28:54] and stop being fucking assholes.

[28:55] Eventually, they're just gonna have to realize it, yeah.

[28:58] We're gonna start watching current movies again

[29:01] and, oh, the jealousy I had when flying back from Greece

[29:04] and watching multiple people watching Mafia Mama

[29:07] on their fucking little screens.

[29:10] And I'm like, shielding my eyes.

[29:11] I promise you, as a celebration

[29:13] for reaching that agreement,

[29:15] we can do that the very first-

[29:17] What a fitting way to celebrate

[29:19] the return to work of an industry.

[29:21] I do wanna say, though,

[29:24] that people have really been enjoying

[29:27] the flashback episodes and I've been enjoying doing them

[29:31] because we get to choose things that are interesting

[29:34] rather than just being stuck with whatever comes up.

[29:36] So I do think that we should figure out

[29:38] some way of folding that in going forward.

[29:39] I think we-

[29:40] Yeah, I think so.

[29:41] We can mix it up.

[29:42] We don't have to stick one or the other, yeah.

[29:43] I mean, we'll always, we'll still see Mafia Mama.

[29:45] I've been hearing-

[29:46] 10 weeks of Mafia Mama is what L.A. declares.

[29:50] I've had a lot of people tell me

[29:52] that they wanna hear our take on The Flash

[29:53] at some point also.

[29:55] And I say, Ricky and The Flash,

[29:56] Meryl Streep's greatest film,

[29:58] and they go, no, no, no, The Flash.

[30:00] It's on max right now and tell you I'm telling you bring in the flashes on max

[30:04] Might be I don't know but the flashes on max and I'm like

[30:08] With what Zaslav has done to this like the one thing I actually kind of want to watch on here out of like morbid

[30:15] Curiosity is the flash, but I know that we're gonna have to watch it

[30:20] Okay, mozzarella stories guys, give me a rating Dan shoot your shot you're still in the lead

[30:26] Like for 3.4 for mozzarella story for okay, not a fan says man, I'm gonna say

[30:33] I'm gonna say only the people in who family only family members of the filmmakers have reviewed it

[30:38] So I'm gonna say eight point five better than E.T.

[30:45] I think I said three point four. Okay, and you said eight point five eight point five. I

[30:52] Believe it goes to Dan with five point seven unless I fucked up my math. Oh

[30:58] Man, another big category for Dan McCoy Wow. No, I think that is narrowly Dan's

[31:01] Yeah, it's what two point eight away from me and two point. What was yours Dan three point what four?

[31:07] Yeah

[31:09] I think this has been a really fun game so far guys

[31:12] But why don't we get to when we hear a word from our sponsors and then we'll get back to the game

[31:18] What could be fairer than me throwing out random numbers and losing almost every time we're gonna be more fun than that

[31:28] As a cultured siniest and the knowledge that you

[31:35] Yeah, that this is no luck

[31:38] Category is more for you

[31:39] I don't have my finger on the pulse of the of the of the cinema world as I once believed I did

[35:33] But it's still cold and fresh and ready to cook the first one I had to go with of course was the chipotle pork

[35:37] Chop is really good is spicy and felt that everything tasted really fresh and it like it had been prepared by me

[35:45] Just then for a moment

[35:47] but it was actually prepared by someone much better than me a

[35:50] professional who knows how to cook because I don't know how to and I don't like to so the idea of getting fresh cooked food

[35:56] That I can eat whenever I want at any time. It's a dream

[36:52] Remember the time I do yeah

[36:55] When we fell in love girl, uh, that was that was very sweet. Hey guys before we get back to the

[37:07] Yeah, I mean if I was winning I'd understand it I have two things I want to tell you about the first is

[37:12] You don't have to just listen to the flop house

[37:14] You can watch the flop house with flop TV our monthly six part series

[37:19] Where we are going to be talking about some of the biggest and most requested flop movies

[37:25] That there are finally movies

[37:26] We have never talked about on the podcast before flop TV is a streamlined kind of one-hour version of the show

[37:32] It's like watching a TV version of the flop house. Each episode has a presentation from one of us

[37:36] We talk about a movie we take questions from the the viewers through the chat function

[37:41] It's really great our first episode last month Beastmaster 2 through the portal of time was super fun

[37:46] And you know what you can still watch it because even if you miss an episode of flop TV

[37:51] We're gonna leave the video recordings up on the website for the entirety of the run of the show

[37:56] So if you miss an episode, you don't have to worry

[37:59] You can still go back and watch it all six episodes will be available by the end of the run

[38:37] It's like they it's like they they

[38:39] Pre-understood they like predicted the Star Wars special edition where they're like

[39:11] We have to like cut it off at some point like in this case, we realized why are we?

[39:16] Punishing people who might want to see all of the shows like they can still like get a season pass and go back and watch

[39:22] from the beginning

[39:24] And I've been gratified to see that when we announced that on social media

[40:47] Vidiot's is a great new location in LA.

[40:49] It's the new spot for a classic kind of legendary

[40:54] LA video store, but now it has a theater space.

[40:56] It's a really comfortable movie theater.

[40:58] It's really fun to be in.

[40:59] I'm really excited about it.

[41:00] So that's two shows in one night.

[41:01] If you're in the Los Angeles area, come join us.

[41:04] Vidiotsfoundation.org, and if you're not

[41:05] in the Los Angeles area, hey, watch us on TV.

[41:08] On your computer?

[41:10] Next week, September 9th, with Flop TV.

[41:12] That's theflophouse.septics.com.

[41:13] I love you pretending like that's a weird thing.

[41:16] Yeah.

[41:19] This is the same thing that I use

[41:20] to make spreadsheets for work.

[41:22] I can watch TV on that?

[41:23] Okay.

[41:24] Wait, you're watching it on a computer?

[41:26] The thing that has disrupted our entire industry?

[41:30] Yeah, yeah.

[41:31] A computer?

[41:32] The thing that I go to fear.com for?

[41:35] Dee Snider's Strangeland?

[41:38] It's the only place to get either of those things, yeah.

[41:46] The Greatest Generation, Maximum Fun's irreverent,

[41:49] filthy-mouthed Star Trek podcast is a big deal.

[41:52] How big?

[41:53] It's the only Star Trek podcast big enough

[41:57] to have a live show tour,

[41:58] and we are inviting all Star Trek fans

[42:01] and Max Funsters everywhere.

[42:02] We're calling it the Share Your Embarrassment Tour,

[42:05] and we're going to celebrate and roast Star Trek 5.

[42:09] That's the one where they killed God.

[42:11] We're gonna be in a bunch of cities,

[42:12] and greatestgentour.com has all the info and ticket links.

[42:17] That's greatestgentour.com for dates and ticketing info

[42:21] for the Share Your Embarrassment Tour.

[42:23] Come share your embarrassment with us.

[42:25] And grow stronger from the sharing.

[42:29] Hi, I'm Travis McElroy.

[42:31] And I'm Teresa McElroy.

[42:32] And we're the host of Schmanners.

[42:34] We don't believe that etiquette

[42:36] should be used to judge other people.

[42:38] No, on Schmanners, we see etiquette

[42:40] as a way to navigate social situations with confidence.

[42:44] So if that sounds like something you're into,

[42:46] join us every Friday on Maximum Fun,

[42:49] wherever you get your podcasts.

[42:52] Okay, welcome back.

[42:55] Of course, we are playing everyone's favorite game

[42:57] here at the Flophouse.

[42:58] It is the Flophouse Motion Picture Pizza Parlor.

[43:03] So it's still the pizza parlor.

[43:04] It's still the pizza parlor.

[43:05] Every category is about pizza stuff.

[43:09] Except the categories are just named about pizza stuff.

[43:12] Like they're not necessarily pizza movies.

[43:14] Although the mozzarella one might have been.

[43:15] Oh, wow.

[43:16] Elliot, you're being extra hater-y today.

[43:20] I'm just trying to keep track for myself

[43:22] of what this game is.

[43:23] Let's see if you can turn that shit around.

[43:26] Sorry, it's all sour grapes.

[43:27] I'm just mad I'm losing.

[43:28] Okay, so the next category is Meat Lovers.

[43:35] Meat Lovers.

[43:36] And the first movie in this category is Dan's favorite movie,

[43:40] The Midnight Meat Train.

[43:45] This is a horror movie from 2008.

[43:47] A photographer's obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter

[43:51] leads him into the path of a serial killer

[43:53] who stalks the late night commuters,

[43:56] ultimately butchering them in the most gruesome ways.

[44:01] I have a very distinct memory of seeing the trailer

[44:04] to this also with Elliot and Eric, I think.

[44:07] I think we saw it maybe before Rambo, I'm guessing.

[44:10] Possibly.

[44:11] But Elliot saw the title of Midnight Meat Train

[44:15] and leaned over to me and whispered,

[44:17] that's what I call my penis.

[44:19] I forgot about that.

[44:22] Yeah, Midnight Meat Train.

[44:26] We got stars here, Vinnie Jones, Bradley Cooper,

[44:29] Leslie Bibb, uh-oh, everybody buckle your BART belts

[44:33] because Roger BART is in it.

[44:37] Get on the BART train.

[44:42] Let's see, wait, is it on me or?

[44:45] Oh, I'm gonna say 6.1.

[44:49] I'm gonna give it a solid seven.

[44:53] 6.0, Dan.

[44:55] Oh, Dan's so good.

[44:57] He's so fucking good.

[44:59] He's so good at rating.

[45:00] You wanna be mad at him, but you gotta give him credit.

[45:04] No, I didn't write this game.

[45:05] Unless, I'm starting to think that Dan

[45:07] is the guy rating all these movies on IMDb.

[45:08] I read a lot of reviews and stuff.

[45:10] I think I do have a pretty good idea

[45:12] of what the conventional wisdom is on a movie.

[45:15] This is my mistake,

[45:16] because I've been reading books all this time.

[45:18] I should have been reading the IMDb reviews.

[45:22] Okay, wasted time.

[45:26] Okay, get back to it.

[45:27] Hey, Charles Dickens,

[45:28] what did you think about Midnight Meat Train?

[45:29] Nothing?

[45:30] Then fuck you.

[45:31] My strategy finally paid off.

[45:36] One out of a million times, this is coming in handy.

[45:40] Okay, gang, our next movie is a horror comedy

[45:43] from 2012 titled Fresh Meat.

[45:48] A dysfunctional gang of criminals

[45:50] takes a middle-class Maori family hostage

[45:53] and discovers too late that they are cannibals.

[45:56] Oh, I've seen this movie.

[45:59] The big star, of course, that's right,

[46:01] Django Fett himself, Temura Morrison.

[46:03] That's what I was guessing.

[46:07] I've never watched the Boba Fett show.

[46:09] Does he play Boba Fett on the show?

[46:11] He does, yeah.

[46:12] Okay, that makes sense.

[46:12] And he's complained about how often

[46:14] they make him say lines and not wear his mask,

[46:17] which is correct.

[46:18] That's the correct take.

[46:20] Boba Fett shouldn't talk.

[46:21] He should wear a mask.

[46:22] He should wear his mask, yeah.

[46:24] All his lines should have been said by Ming-Na,

[46:26] because she's great.

[46:28] Wait, is Ming-Na winning that show?

[46:30] Yeah, yeah, she's his major domo.

[46:33] She's his partner.

[46:33] I didn't know that.

[46:34] I would watch that show if I knew that.

[46:36] She's great.

[46:37] Ali, you're up first, right?

[46:39] Am I?

[46:40] Yeah, you can go first.

[46:41] Oh, for what's it called, Fresh Meat?

[46:43] Fresh Meat.

[46:44] Fresh Meat, a movie Dan has seen.

[46:49] Well, how about-

[46:50] Horror comedy.

[46:52] Horror comedy.

[46:53] Let's say, I'm gonna say 5.3.

[46:57] I'll go higher on that.

[46:59] I'm gonna say 5.8.

[47:01] 5.4, Elliot, good one, Tim.

[47:03] Oh, finally, finally.

[47:05] Looks like the tide is turning.

[47:06] I overestimated the desire for horror comedy

[47:10] for the general public versus the meat.

[47:12] The general public do not like to laugh

[47:14] and scream at the same time, even though they do.

[47:16] Although, yeah, I mean, lately it's been big again.

[47:19] Like, I feel-

[47:20] Well, I guess the thing is,

[47:21] horror comedies really rely

[47:23] on the individual horror comedy.

[47:25] No one's gonna,

[47:25] I think people are not gonna go out of their way.

[47:27] They're gonna be like,

[47:28] a horror comedy, that's my favorite genre.

[47:29] But they do enjoy it when they like it, yeah.

[47:31] Yeah, so the next movie in the meat lovers category

[47:35] is another horror comedy.

[47:37] Let's keep it up.

[47:38] Uh-oh.

[47:38] From 2016, it is the French movie, Raw.

[47:42] Is that a comedy?

[47:43] Yeah, it depends on what you think's funny.

[47:46] I still haven't seen Raw.

[47:49] Oh, it's great.

[47:50] I know, I should see it.

[47:50] In the vein of such other French horror comedies

[47:52] as Inside and Markers.

[47:56] A young woman studying to be a vet

[47:59] develops a craving for human flesh.

[48:02] Now, that means like a veterinarian, not a veteran.

[48:04] Because who would study that?

[48:05] Studying to be a veteran.

[48:06] I mean, I guess, go into it, yeah.

[48:09] Army War College, I guess.

[48:10] Yeah.

[48:11] Yeah.

[48:13] Army War College?

[48:15] Yeah, that's a real place.

[48:16] Is it?

[48:17] It just sounds like that.

[48:18] It's such a weird title.

[48:19] It sounds like that.

[48:20] Let's get Army and War in there.

[48:23] But there's also-

[48:23] Well, the Army runs it.

[48:25] Yeah, College on War.

[48:27] Yeah, no, I mean, it all makes sense.

[48:28] It just sounds stupid.

[48:30] Yeah, Army Hammer runs it,

[48:31] keeping the cannibal theme alive.

[48:33] Oh, man, Elliot, that was delicious.

[48:38] Okay, so, Stan, why don't you...

[48:43] Elliot, have you seen Raw?

[48:45] Actually, you know what?

[48:46] I have not seen Raw.

[48:46] I remember when it came out.

[48:47] I considered seeing it and I didn't get around to it.

[48:49] So, yeah, we know that the director, Julie Dickorno,

[48:53] her movies can be a little divisive,

[48:54] but people seem to like them.

[48:56] And by people, I mean me.

[48:58] Stuart Wellington.

[48:59] What else did she do?

[49:01] Teton.

[49:02] She did do Teton.

[49:03] You and I are on opposite sides of the divide on Teton,

[49:07] I think.

[49:08] Okay, well.

[49:09] But you know what?

[49:10] If I ever got to watch a movie all the way through,

[49:14] I think I would have liked Teton more.

[49:15] There was something about having to stretch it out

[49:16] over a few days that made it harder.

[49:19] Yeah.

[49:20] Well, especially because of the wildly changing styles

[49:23] of movie that it is, is more fun in one sitting.

[49:27] Yes, I think that's true.

[49:29] And, well, what carries you over that, though,

[49:32] is tone, which is hard to break and then rebuild.

[49:36] Well, there's some movies where I'm like,

[49:38] it's the same reason there are TV shows that I don't watch,

[49:40] that I would rather watch as a movie

[49:41] if they exist that way,

[49:42] because it's like, I don't want to live in this feeling

[49:45] for this long a period of time.

[49:46] Like Friends?

[49:48] Yeah, exactly.

[49:49] I wish Friends was just a movie.

[49:50] I mean, Friends is a movie.

[49:51] It's called The Big Chill, right?

[49:54] Friends.

[49:54] Delicious.

[49:55] What?

[49:56] Okay, I'm going to say that Raw got

[50:00] a 7.0. I'm gonna say it got a 7.4. Dan sniped it 7.0. Exactly, wow, headshot. Critical roll.

[50:12] Okay this is, you know, honestly I didn't know that this was a skill. Dan, if only there

[50:19] was a way to make money doing this, there is not. Okay, the next movie in the Meat Lovers

[50:26] he's now with a carnival and he's like yeah see if you can guess an IMDB score as well as I can.

[50:35] Oh man, if you win you get one of these spider rings. And if I lose I have to bite the head

[50:42] off a chicken. Then there's a huge stuffed animal and the way you rig it so they never

[50:50] win that is you start naming movies that don't exist. There's no way they can accurately get

[50:53] the score. The next movie in the Meat Lovers category is a comedy from 2016, an animated

[51:01] comedy titled Sausage Party. Oh yeah, sure. A sausage strives to discover the truth about

[51:08] his existence. Sausage Party famous for pushing animators to the edges of sanity with the terrible

[51:16] working conditions and schedule. Stars Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill,

[51:25] yeah, some apatows, Michael Cera. I usually like Rogen and I think this is probably the worst thing

[51:32] he's done. That Ninja Turtles movie was enjoyable. It's supposed to be good. Yeah, I took Sammy to

[51:38] go see it. Yeah, I want to see that. That looks fun. I like turtles. Stuart loves turts. Yeah,

[51:45] you did a whole presentation on them. Top turts. My second favorite Stuart presentation, top turts.

[51:53] Stuart, you gotta call on one of us. Oh yeah, why don't you tell me, what do you think?

[51:58] Sausage Party? Yep. I'm gonna say... Remember people who watched the movie rated this. Yeah,

[52:05] I know. It's not all crits, it's not all crits. But it's hard for me to go above a 4.8, so. Okay.

[52:13] I know there are a lot of numbnuts out there, so I'm gonna go up to 5.4. Dan got it with a 6.1.

[52:23] Wow. Not quite ET, but getting closer to ET rating. Okay, now we're into the final category

[52:29] of the night. I have to remember that IMDb was the place where for decades, I think,

[52:35] the number one best movie ever made was The Shawshank Redemption, which is a very good movie.

[52:40] It's a very good movie, but the idea that that was the height of artistic achievement

[52:45] in the realm of film was, you know. Well, because it's based on the likelihood of if

[52:50] your dad is walking by a TV in the middle of a Saturday afternoon and it's on the TV,

[52:54] will he stop and watch it? I mean, I'll stop and watch it. It's a great movie. It is a great movie,

[52:58] but the ambition in it is relatively low. Guys, real quick before, there's a side question.

[53:07] What is the movie that your dad, what's your dad's favorite movie?

[53:11] Like, what movie is your dad going to stop and watch on a Saturday afternoon the most?

[53:20] Look, my dad is a man of an older generation. I think that-

[53:24] That makes sense. This math checks out. If he was a younger generation, it would be weird.

[53:28] Time travel would have to be involved.

[53:32] There's content in it that he wouldn't be-

[53:34] My dad's a Benjamin Button, so he's a baby right now.

[53:37] There's content in it he wouldn't be as keen on today. I'm just trying to protect my dad

[53:42] from the judgment of-

[53:45] It's going to be like Anna Longhouse or some shit.

[53:47] No, well-

[53:47] He loves Birth of a Nation.

[53:50] The one I can remember him really loving is M.A.S.H., which is a great movie in many ways,

[53:54] but also has a lot of unpleasant 70s being mean to women and minorities.

[54:00] It's that kind of like National Lampoon-ish style of humor where it's like,

[54:03] it's time for white guys to be able to rebel by being mean to everybody else.

[54:09] We got to take down the system while still maintaining our level of entitlement at all times.

[54:14] Yeah, I mean, my dad's are like Lawrence of Arabia or like Zulu or Zulu Dawn.

[54:20] Yeah. I mean, if you can look past the racism, Zulu's a solid action-adventure movie.

[54:27] And with my dad, similarly, I think probably The Patriot with Mel Gibson because he loves-

[54:34] His highest compliment for a movie is if he can watch it and be like,

[54:36] that's how they really fought battles back then.

[54:39] That's how they really did it.

[54:40] My dad's like that too.

[54:42] At one point he was like, he's like, it doesn't make sense that they wouldn't

[54:45] have better defensive equipment against the siege in Helm's Deep.

[54:49] And I'm like, you need to shut your fucking mouth.

[54:52] But at the same time, the movie that my dad-

[54:53] Don't make me Oedipus you dad.

[54:55] The movie that my dad for years tried to get me to watch, and I refused to watch it because

[54:59] he wanted me to watch it so badly, was Breaking Away, the biking movie, the bicycle bike ride.

[55:03] And that's a great movie.

[55:04] Yeah, shot in Indiana.

[55:05] Yeah, and that's a genuinely great movie.

[55:07] I'm glad I finally watched it.

[55:09] It wasn't asked, but I think that my mom's favorite,

[55:12] the ones that I remember are, she really likes The African Queen,

[55:15] and she liked movies with her dreamboat Paul Newman in them.

[55:20] Oh yeah, well that's what my mom, her favorite movie is The Sting because of Robert Redford.

[55:24] She loves Robert Redford.

[55:25] Man, two hunks.

[55:26] Yeah, they're both in The Sting.

[55:29] Yeah, two for one.

[55:30] I feel like-

[55:31] Two for one, yeah, both of them.

[55:32] Your mom and my mom could just hang out and watch The Sting and masturbate together, I guess.

[55:35] Oh god, don't, why'd you take it there?

[55:37] I'm trying to remember what my mom would say.

[55:39] They can do it, I just don't know why.

[55:41] You don't want to think about it.

[55:42] And my grandmother's favorite movie is 123, starring James Cagney, the Billy Wilder movie.

[55:47] Another hunk, man, all these hunks, all these boys.

[55:50] Classic Hollywood hunks.

[55:51] Yeah.

[55:53] Okay, so we are into the final category, and it is called The Works,

[55:59] also known as Supreme, depending on what part of the country you're from.

[56:02] Okay, I wonder if we should do a mini sometime where it's just

[56:04] our family members' favorite movies, where we just ask around to get a sense of it.

[56:09] That'd be good.

[56:10] We can get it more definitively, so.

[56:12] Yeah, yeah, we can actually ask them.

[56:14] See if my sister's favorite movies are still Teen Wolf and Ferris Bueller's Day Off,

[56:18] as they were when we were kids.

[56:20] Okay, so the first movie in the Works category is, I believe, a comedy from 2020 titled Work It.

[56:29] It looks like it's a Netflix movie.

[56:30] Boo, I hope it is shitty.

[56:33] Don't watch it.

[56:34] When Quinn Ackerman's admission to the college of her dreams

[56:37] depends on her performance at a dance competition,

[56:39] she forms a ragtag group of dancers.

[56:42] It's always ragtag.

[56:43] It might be a dance school.

[56:44] Maybe it's a dance school she's trying to get into.

[56:46] Otherwise, I don't know why it would matter.

[56:47] But they are always ragtag.

[56:49] The tags are never not ragged, yeah.

[56:52] Group of dancers to take on the best squad in school.

[56:56] Now she just needs to learn how to dance.

[57:00] Okay, so.

[57:00] Can I tell you something?

[57:02] I've seen this movie.

[57:03] I saw it in, we were going to the wedding of a co-worker of ours, Elliot, Zach DeLanzo.

[57:13] Oh, Zach, my former writer's assistant.

[57:15] Now he's a TV writer all grown up.

[57:17] I'm so proud of that boy.

[57:18] We went upstate.

[57:19] We were staying in Albany.

[57:21] The wedding was just outside.

[57:24] Capital of New York State.

[57:26] Yeah, and after the pre-dinner, or not dinner, like cocktails the night before,

[57:35] got a little rainy.

[57:35] So we went back to the hotel and we're looking for something to watch.

[57:39] And I saw on Netflix that this had Audrey's two favorite things,

[57:46] a ragtag group of underdogs and a dance movie put together.

[57:51] Oh, wow, finally.

[57:51] I think this is what we got to watch.

[57:53] And, you know, for what it is, which is a Netflix streaming movie

[57:58] that probably was just sort of shat out of content.

[58:03] It's a pretty fun one.

[58:04] It's like a fun little movie.

[58:07] I'll say it gets a 5.6.

[58:11] 5.6 from Dan.

[58:12] I'm going to give it a 4.2.

[58:15] Wow.

[58:15] Well, Dan's relying on his experience again because it's a 6.1.

[58:20] Good job, Danny boy.

[58:22] Almost as good as Swiss Army Man.

[58:26] Make a double feature of it.

[58:27] Okay, the next movie in the works category from 1998, a comedy titled Dirty Work.

[58:33] A loser.

[58:34] We're all familiar with this one, yeah.

[58:35] A loser finds success in the Revenge for Hire business,

[58:41] starring the late, great Norm MacDonald and a bunch of other people.

[58:45] Director Bob Saget, I didn't realize that.

[58:47] Yeah, Bob Saget directed that.

[58:48] Dan, this is a tough one because there's two things going on here.

[58:56] Number one, Dirty Work has some huge, huge laughs in it.

[59:03] It has some very funny stuff in it.

[59:06] But on the other side, it's not very good.

[59:10] Well, but it's the kind of movie where a regular person watching it will probably be like,

[59:13] I don't like this.

[59:14] But it's got, it's also got a fervent cult following.

[59:16] Yeah, no, it succeeds wildly as a comedy, just on the level of making you laugh.

[59:21] As a technical piece of movie making, it's, it's junk.

[59:25] But like, although it is really throwing shade at the late Bob Saget.

[59:29] Wow.

[59:30] One hour and 22 minutes.

[59:31] I mean, that's pretty great, right?

[59:33] Uh, no, I know it's got a cult following.

[59:36] I'm giving a good, a good review to the runtime.

[59:38] Yeah, it's got a cult following.

[59:40] I'm going to give it a 6.8, Elliot, 6.8.

[59:45] Elliot, 6.8 is the score to beat.

[59:48] The dirty workers are coming out in droves.

[59:49] I'm going to say an 8.3, better than ET.

[59:53] Wow, Dan, you are very close.

[59:54] 6.4, good job, Dan.

[59:57] Wow, can we go back to the scores again?

[1:00:00] Who's winning?

[1:00:01] Dan's winning by a ton.

[1:00:04] But I feel like you should just keep playing for the love of the game.

[1:00:07] Yeah, I know. I just love the experience so much.

[1:00:09] OK, the next right now while I'm on strike and I have a little bit of a cough

[1:00:13] that I'm getting over and I'm super stressed out is exactly the time

[1:00:16] for me to play a game where I'm losing handily constantly.

[1:00:19] The constant stream of rejection is good for Ellie.

[1:00:21] Come on. I'm just kidding.

[1:00:22] I'm just joshing with you to find out.

[1:00:25] I'm just joshing. Come on.

[1:00:28] Come on. Come on.

[1:00:30] OK, the next movie is an action crime drama mystery thriller from 2002.

[1:00:36] Quite a grab bag of genres there.

[1:00:38] Which I feel like 2002 was really a like a fucking bumper year

[1:00:42] for action, crime, drama, mystery thrillers.

[1:00:45] Yeah, it got us away from the doldrums of 9-11.

[1:00:49] This is part of the the works category.

[1:00:52] That's right. It's blood work.

[1:00:55] Oh, it's Clint Eastwood.

[1:00:56] Mm hmm. Still recovering from a heart transplant.

[1:00:59] Retired FBI profiler Terry McCaleb, played by Clint Eastwood.

[1:01:04] I'm glad they include that in the description.

[1:01:07] Returns to service when his own blood analysis offers clues

[1:01:12] to the identity of a serial killer.

[1:01:16] Yeah, you guys, you guys see this one.

[1:01:18] I just bad boy movie.

[1:01:20] I don't it's not great, but it's

[1:01:23] I think it's in that genre of movies that in a simpler time

[1:01:27] when they're, you know, if you had a afternoon

[1:01:31] and everyone else was out of the house and blood work came on TNT.

[1:01:34] Yeah, you just masturbate to that.

[1:01:35] Sure.

[1:01:37] Like last week, it was talking to yourself.

[1:01:41] Before that, it was copycat.

[1:01:43] Yeah. And the and the this is around the same time

[1:01:47] that we did that movie called True Crime, right?

[1:01:49] That's where I get the two mixed up as a reporter.

[1:01:51] I think it's got to get someone off death row.

[1:01:53] Yeah. He had a real run of kind of airport thriller.

[1:01:58] Yeah. Absolute Power.

[1:02:01] This movie also stars Angelica Houston, who rules.

[1:02:05] She does rule. Yeah, she's my favorite Houston.

[1:02:08] Take that, Sam.

[1:02:09] Take that, Danny.

[1:02:11] But he wears so many hats.

[1:02:12] OK, what do you think?

[1:02:14] No, but if it's a hat competition, Danny is handily taken.

[1:02:17] Angelica doesn't wear hats that much.

[1:02:19] But why should she?

[1:02:19] Her hair is a natural is a national treasure.

[1:02:21] That's true.

[1:02:23] That's what Nicolas Cage should have been going after in those movies.

[1:02:25] Angelica Houston's hair.

[1:02:26] Yeah. And then he'd snatch it off like a wig, just like in The Witches.

[1:02:32] I'm going to say this gets a five point eight.

[1:02:35] Hmm. OK, five point eight from Dan.

[1:02:37] OK, I'm giving it a six point five.

[1:02:39] Elliot, you nailed it.

[1:02:40] America loves Clint. Six point four.

[1:02:42] Wow. Oh, yeah.

[1:02:44] Dan, never underestimate Clint Eastwood in a watchable, nothing special movie.

[1:02:49] Yeah, I saw I.

[1:02:53] Have you seen Tightrope?

[1:02:54] I saw a rep.

[1:02:55] Not a long time, but yeah.

[1:02:56] Of it recently, like I had seen it when I was younger

[1:03:00] and I must have seemed like an edited for TV version.

[1:03:04] Well, they used to show it on like TNT a lot.

[1:03:05] Yeah. Seeing the unedited Tightrope, I'm like, this movie is way like kinkier

[1:03:12] and sleazier than I expected out of Clint Eastwood.

[1:03:15] Like in a good way.

[1:03:16] I was like, oh, this is great.

[1:03:18] Clint Eastwood, I think because he people think of him as a conservative

[1:03:22] because he is politically very conservative, I think.

[1:03:24] And he makes a lot of movies like Bloodwork or has made a lot.

[1:03:27] I mean, he's an old man now.

[1:03:28] He doesn't make that many movies anymore is I think people forget what a

[1:03:32] what an adventurous filmmaker he can be.

[1:03:34] And yeah, he his filmography, both starring and directing,

[1:03:38] is filled with very interesting choices and like not willing,

[1:03:41] not being afraid to push what he's capable of on screen

[1:03:44] or what his image is or what kind of story he can tell.

[1:03:46] I really admire him as an artist in a lot of ways.

[1:03:48] Well, also like for a guy who also famously is like one take and done.

[1:03:54] Yeah. Yes. Also, yeah.

[1:03:56] He is also not that interested in in doing hard work a lot of the time.

[1:04:01] Again, a notable conservative.

[1:04:02] But there's a scene in Tightrope, I remember, where he's like interviewing

[1:04:07] like a homosexual prostitute has been sent to him by the like

[1:04:11] the person who's taunting him.

[1:04:13] And he doesn't treat like this person badly.

[1:04:16] He just treats them like a person who like he's he's trying to figure out

[1:04:19] what's going on at the end.

[1:04:21] The prostitutes like you don't want to have sex.

[1:04:23] He's like, well, don't knock until you try it.

[1:04:26] And Clint goes, who says I haven't tried it?

[1:04:28] And I'm like, Clint, look at you.

[1:04:30] Oh, he's he's a real old school economic conservative for the most part.

[1:04:36] You know, like I think he's he's a guy who he's he's literally a guy

[1:04:39] who just does not want you to tell him what to do.

[1:04:41] And that's basically it.

[1:04:42] So I read an article about him recently where he was like,

[1:04:45] he's like, the only superhero I ever would have wanted to play

[1:04:47] was Namor the Submariner.

[1:04:49] And I'm like, what?

[1:04:53] I mean, you said this a long time ago.

[1:04:54] I was just like that.

[1:04:56] I was like, what a weird choice.

[1:04:58] But I can kind of see it working when he was young.

[1:05:00] Like, yeah, maybe if only, you know.

[1:05:03] Yeah, like the bug isled era.

[1:05:06] Yeah, yeah.

[1:05:07] I hope he said it with like that dreamy tone in his voice.

[1:05:09] He gave them a regret.

[1:05:12] Well, because Namor has a in the comics is a pretty clear mission objective,

[1:05:18] which is a storm.

[1:05:20] Yeah, very much.

[1:05:21] Possibly with Reed Richards watching.

[1:05:23] OK, let's do it.

[1:05:24] You mentioned.

[1:05:24] Yeah, because he wants to cut Reed Richards.

[1:05:26] Yeah, that's that's more into it.

[1:05:27] Yeah.

[1:05:27] That the way you mentioned the beguiled like that, like Clint Eastwood

[1:05:30] doesn't has done a lot of stuff that you wouldn't think of as Clint Eastwood stuff.

[1:05:33] You know, he didn't direct that.

[1:05:35] He starred in it.

[1:05:35] But still, but he's he's great.

[1:05:37] Yeah.

[1:05:37] OK, so we've talked about a lot of great movies today,

[1:05:40] but I think there's only one movie that can really finish out this game, OK?

[1:05:43] And if L.A. can get it, he will tie this game.

[1:05:47] That seems impossible.

[1:05:49] Well, let's find out.

[1:05:51] This is a action comedy crime movie from 1990.

[1:05:56] Men at work.

[1:05:58] Last movie in the works category.

[1:06:00] The dirty work of its day.

[1:06:02] Men at work.

[1:06:03] Two garbage men uncover a conspiracy involving illegal toxic waste dumping

[1:06:08] and decide to bring the whole operation down.

[1:06:12] Is that the only movie that the two Estevez brothers have made together?

[1:06:15] Did they make any other movies together?

[1:06:16] Weren't they in like were they in Young?

[1:06:19] Are they in Young Guns?

[1:06:20] Oh, yeah.

[1:06:20] Yeah.

[1:06:20] They did the Young Guns movies together, right?

[1:06:24] I don't know.

[1:06:25] I never actually saw the Young Guns movies.

[1:06:28] I strangely saw Men at Work multiple times.

[1:06:34] I think they were in Young Guns.

[1:06:35] I'm surprised they have not tried to reboot that as old guns.

[1:06:39] Man, that would be great, right?

[1:06:40] Or old Young Guns.

[1:06:42] Yep.

[1:06:42] So do you guys need me to tell you the stars or the director?

[1:06:47] Who is the director of Men at Work?

[1:06:49] Emilio Estevez.

[1:06:51] Oh, I forgot.

[1:06:52] Oh, yeah.

[1:06:53] Is Dean Cameron in Men at Work as well?

[1:06:56] I think he might be.

[1:06:57] I think so.

[1:06:59] Anyway, Men at Work.

[1:07:02] Yep.

[1:07:03] Hell yeah, he is.

[1:07:03] He plays the pizza man.

[1:07:06] And Keith David's in it.

[1:07:07] Oh, does that bump up your score, Elliot?

[1:07:10] I mean, if I haven't been on record before, I will go on record as saying anything with

[1:07:15] Keith David in it is better than anything that doesn't have.

[1:07:18] Well, that's not true.

[1:07:18] There's a lot of great movies, and there are a lot of great movies without him in it.

[1:07:23] But you're saying he would improve most films.

[1:07:25] He improves any movie he's in.

[1:07:27] Real quick, if it's going to affect your score, the tagline for this movie is,

[1:07:32] Two garbage men who know when something smells funny.

[1:07:37] They don't, if you've seen the movie.

[1:07:40] Elliot, do you want to guess or should I guess?

[1:07:42] I was just recently watching.

[1:07:43] I did take some time out of my day recently to watch some vintage interview footage of

[1:07:46] Keith David talking about being in Platoon, and it just sounds great.

[1:07:51] But so, Men at Work.

[1:07:55] If you can get this right on the dot, you win the game.

[1:07:59] Ugh, well, I'm not going to.

[1:08:00] But I'm going to say 5.5.

[1:08:03] Wow, this is going to be very close, because I was going to say 5.3.

[1:08:10] 5.9.

[1:08:11] Elliot ties the game.

[1:08:13] Yes, closer, yes.

[1:08:15] He doesn't win, though, because he had to get it completely on the dot.

[1:08:18] Guys, this was so much fun.

[1:08:19] Thanks for playing my game.

[1:08:21] Next time, maybe we'll just play a regular The Flophouse motion picture puzzle parlor,

[1:08:26] puzzle palace, or whatever I said.

[1:08:29] Yeah, like we've done so many times.

[1:08:29] Instead, you guys, you guys vanquished the pizza parlor.

[1:08:33] So this was a Flophouse mini.
