FH Mini 68 - Oops All Nuts

[0:00] Hey everyone, welcome to The Flophouse. I'm Dan McCoy.

[0:07] I'm Stuart Wellington.

[0:09] And I'm Elliot Kalin. Join us, won't you, on a journey of self-discovery that we call The Flophouse Mini.

[0:17] Wow, thanks. Yeah, yeah, this is a mini-episode, which means it's marginally shorter than a normal episode.

[0:23] In a regular episode, we watch a bad movie and then we talk about it.

[0:26] And then in our off weeks, every other week, we just do whatever we want.

[0:31] And, guys, boy, did I take that note to The Flophouse Idea Bank.

[0:39] Oh, you're driving this one, huh?

[0:40] I started that sentence without knowing where I was headed.

[0:43] Yeah, my idea here, of course, as you know, it's November.

[0:47] And in opposition to No Nut November, I have an episode called Oops All Nuts, which is, I'm saying it's sponsored by masturbation.

[1:06] Sponsored by masturbation. Just do it. Don't feel weird about it.

[1:10] No Nut November is tied to weird timescales.

[1:13] Don't feel weird about it.

[1:15] Who's it hurting, other than you, if you do it too much?

[1:18] Yeah, man. I mean, like, it might hurt, yeah.

[1:20] If you're, like, forgoing doing important things for it, then maybe, you know, dial it back a bit.

[1:25] No shame. Just do it.

[1:27] It leads to chafing sometimes, but that's what lotion is for.

[1:30] I mean, 100% my favorite, like, TikToks are the ones where it's just, like, a serious-looking dude staring off, like, off, like, a pier somewhere.

[1:38] And the text overlay is all, like, the benefits of not jacking off.

[1:43] And I'm like, what? Is that what he's thinking about?

[1:47] They don't exist. I have it here.

[1:49] Scientific studies say regular sexual activity lowers the risk for prostate cancer, improves memory, sleep, and immune cell function, and reduces inflammation and the risk of heart disease.

[1:59] So I say, not all you want.

[2:02] Is this a promotional spot for sexual behavior?

[2:05] No, I'm just saying.

[2:07] Because I will say this.

[2:08] If you don't masturbate, if gravity turned off by accident, there would be more sperm in your testicles, which would help weigh you down back on the earth and keep you from floating into outer space.

[2:17] You've changed my tune.

[2:20] Never again.

[2:22] No, I mean, it's mostly just a hook to hang the hat of this weird premise I'm going to introduce.

[2:30] Sorry, that's just for men.

[2:31] Women, keep masturbating.

[2:32] It won't affect your anti-gravity on you at all.

[2:35] Just go ahead.

[2:36] Thank you, Allie.

[2:37] I want to be inclusive.

[2:39] As I, again, try and get into the premise of the bit.

[2:42] Sure, yeah.

[2:43] Yeah, oops all nuts is what it is.

[2:47] And we're going to talk about some movies with the word nut in the title.

[2:51] And we're going to answer a couple questions.

[2:53] Number one, have any of us seen these movies?

[2:59] And number two, if we haven't, does it seem like a something you'd go nutty for or do you think it sounds not so good?

[3:07] So I love that.

[3:10] I was worried you weren't going to have themed responses, but I'm glad you do.

[3:14] If you don't know me by now.

[3:18] OK, so I wonder how many Advil Dan had to take after stressing his brain out, coming up with those puns.

[3:28] We're going to find Dan's secret notebook of jokes that were rejected at his day job.

[3:33] And it's going to be like, oops, all nuts crossed out.

[3:37] Well, that's after years and years of one of Allie's and mine main jobs as writers of The Daily Show.

[3:43] Well, not main, but most frequent jobs coming up with over-the-shoulder puns.

[3:47] My brain just works this way.

[3:49] It was a daily occurrence, yeah.

[3:51] OK, so first off, one of the more famous films with nut in the title.

[3:56] It's The Nut Job from 2014, rated PG.

[4:00] Starring the voices of Will Arnett, Brendan Fraser, Liam Neeson, Katherine Heigl, Stephen Lang and Maya Rudolph.

[4:06] And here's the...

[4:08] Well, Stephen Lang got some pride of place in Dan's intonation.

[4:12] Stephen Lang before Maya Rudolph, too.

[4:14] Yeah, well, it was kind of a... well, those are the credit order.

[4:17] But it was kind of one of these things that are not like the other intonation.

[4:22] Avatar Stephen Lang?

[4:25] Here's the IMDB synopsis.

[4:29] It goes, an incorrigibly self-serving exiled squirrel finds himself helping his former park brethren survive by raiding a nut store.

[4:38] A location that also happens to be a front for a human gang's bank robbery.

[4:43] So we got some cross-purpose heists and animal heists and human heists.

[4:47] A few facts, it's the most expensive animated movie co-produced in South Korea.

[4:52] Oh, OK.

[4:53] And the director of The Nutjob's most recent movie is an animated film from 2017 titled Gnome Alone.

[5:01] So what do you guys think? What do you think? What has this sound to you?

[5:04] Is Gnome Alone when Post Malone doesn't show up for a gig?

[5:08] That was my question. Is it about a gnome is alone or is it that there's no Malones available?

[5:12] Yeah.

[5:14] No, it's Gnome Space Alone.

[5:18] Is that part of the Gnomeo and Juliet series of films?

[5:21] No, but I will tell you that I went – there was a – I saw that this movie existed when I was looking at an alternate idea based on all of our gnome name gnome talk, which was movies with gnomes.

[5:35] I was wondering, is the gnome in Gnome Alone named Norm? But at this point, I'm going to guess the answer is no.

[5:41] No, it's named Gnorm apparently.

[5:44] Somebody on Twitter was sure to correct me that the character does pronounce his name Gnorm, and I was like, look, I don't know.

[5:49] I thought I made it very clear that this was not a movie I had personal experience with.

[5:53] I'm pretty sure there was four guys talking about a movie they'd never seen and just Googling images.

[5:59] That seems accurate.

[6:01] Okay. So The Nut Job. I have not seen The Nut Job. It's an animated movie for children?

[6:07] Yes, and Elliot, this would make it the most in your wheelhouse having children.

[6:12] Yeah.

[6:13] I don't know whether you've ever had The Nut Job.

[6:15] I have not seen it. What year did it come out?

[6:16] 2014.

[6:17] So that was the year that my older son was born, and so I managed to avoid all the children's movies that came out that year.

[6:23] But if you have any questions about the Hotel Transylvania series, I can now answer that for you.

[6:29] Because certainly movies expire after one year, and there's no way that a child would ever see a movie made before he was born.

[6:36] In my house, they're either going to watch a movie that is 80 years before they were born, or they're going to watch a movie from this year.

[6:42] Nothing else.

[6:43] So the Hotel Transylvania movies, are they more or less horny than the Munsters movie that we just watched?

[6:50] I mean less, I suppose, but –

[6:55] Although there were a lot of people on the internet who were apparently horny for The Invisible Man and mad that it was revealed.

[7:02] They were very unhappy when they found out that the character who wears glasses and sounds like David Spade was not a Jack Skellington sort of goth emo hunk when it was revealed what he looks like.

[7:12] That's too bad.

[7:13] But anyway, so I have not seen The Nut Job, and what were my categories?

[7:20] It sounds like something I would go nutty for.

[7:22] Before you make your final judgment, I just want to say it has a 37 on Metacritic, 37.

[7:33] So yeah, number two.

[7:35] Does it seem like something you'd go nutty for, or do you think it sounds not so good?

[7:40] Well, with a 37 on Metacritic, I think I might be into it actually.

[7:45] Well, I should let you know on Nutacritic, it gets 100 percent.

[7:48] That's a critic who specializes in movies about nuts, yeah.

[7:51] Okay, well, let's move on.

[7:53] I'm going to say that it's not nut in my wheelhouse.

[7:56] Not in your wheelhouse.

[7:57] Was that it?

[7:58] Yeah.

[7:59] The next film with nut in the title we got here is 2017's The Taste of Betel Nut, not rated.

[8:07] It's from Hong Kong, a film with, as far as I can tell, no Wikipedia page in case anyone wants to work on that.

[8:15] Is this the one where when you say betel nut, betel nut, betel nut, the taste appears in your mouth?

[8:20] Uh-huh.

[8:21] This one, the summary, and I apologize if I mispronounce anything.

[8:26] But Li Qi works for a dolphin show.

[8:29] His friend Ren Yu works karaoke on the beach along the coast where they live.

[8:35] When a young woman Bai Ling joins the two men, a three-way relationship seems possible.

[8:41] I'm into it.

[8:42] Together, they set out to test the limitations of a restrictive society and their own sexuality.

[8:49] But a shocking event that rocks them to the core will have a deep and lasting effect on them.

[8:55] And as I said, no Wikipedia page, but I will provide the background that betel nut is actually a type of berry that is chewed widely across Asia with effects similar to nicotine.

[9:07] And also similar to nicotine, it has a litany of negative health effects on nearly every part of your body.

[9:13] Oh, great.

[9:14] So if you're not already chewing betel nut, maybe don't start.

[9:17] The description of the movie—

[9:18] It makes your teeth really brown, I think.

[9:20] The description of the movie kind of sounds like Ito Mama Tambien, but it has a dolphin show, so it's got to be better, right?

[9:28] Yeah, because it's like Ito Mama Tambien with Zeus and Roxanne thrown in.

[9:32] I mean, it sounds like Ito Mama Tambien with a little bit of burning, and those are both really good movies.

[9:39] So, yeah, you know what?

[9:40] I'll—

[9:41] You'll go nutty for it?

[9:43] I'll go nutty for it.

[9:44] I was like—

[9:45] Let's go nutty.

[9:46] Well, I'll nuts and bolts to the theater to see it.

[9:49] I couldn't remember the category.

[9:51] Okay.

[9:52] Stuart, you always said you were into it as soon as you heard that there was a threesome.

[9:57] A dolphin show and a threesome.

[9:59] Yeah.

[10:00] Okay, well, here's a movie, you know as we go further back in time. There's I feel like there's more and more

[10:06] Okay chance that Elliot

[10:09] Will have seen one of these not that they're all in like chronological order, but this one is yeah a little older

[10:14] This is from 1969

[10:16] Perfect. Yeah

[10:18] It bears my favorite number in it 19

[10:22] Rating

[10:24] and the title is some kind of a nut and

[10:28] And

[10:29] The description is in this comedy satire on conformity

[10:32] Dick Van Dyke plays a Manhattan bank teller who grows a beard when he develops a rash from a bee sting

[10:39] He was probably fired from his job while his co-workers stand behind him and that

[10:45] again stars Dick Van Dyke Angie Dickinson as his wife and

[10:49] Rosemary Forsyth

[10:51] Written and directed by Garson Kanan who wrote Warren yesterday and Adams rib and direction my favorite wife as well as doing

[10:58] work on the screenplay, so that is

[11:00] Some kind of a nut from 69. Mm-hmm. I have not seen that one. I haven't seen it

[11:07] Yeah, this one, you know, I mean, I'm supposed to be the

[11:11] Sort of impartial moderator. Yeah

[11:14] And you've been doing even doing a great job

[11:17] Objectivity. Yeah, this is maybe

[11:19] Towards the top of the list of movies on this that I've kind of curious about now the idea of Dick Van Dyke

[11:25] In a satire about conformity

[11:28] He grows a beard cuz he gets stung by a bug. What was the yeah, I get stung by a bee

[11:35] Yeah, it's a rash grows a beard to cover it up. And then he's fired

[11:42] Presumably because now he looks like one of these newfangled hippies. Yeah, that's my guess

[11:46] This is a movie that it sounds like there's a lot of potential but the late 60s

[11:50] Especially were a time when there was a lot of kind of

[11:53] lugubrious comedy

[11:54] Yeah with older people trying to kind of grapple with the way young people do things

[11:59] so I'm worried it might be one of those and at some point Dick Van Dyke's gonna go to like

[12:03] Some kind of hippie rave and and a band that was I that had like a one-hit

[12:09] Wonder career at the time got hired to do it and I'll just be a scene of them playing

[12:13] well

[12:13] young women dance and Dick Van Dyke kind of dances in a goofy way and it looks like

[12:18] Confused and bizarre about what's going on like bewildered

[12:20] I'm worried that scenes gonna happen with a lot of flashing colors and lights and things like that

[12:24] but maybe it doesn't I

[12:25] Understand dislike that kind of scene because you fear that someday you'll be the Dick Van Dyke in that scene

[12:32] I mean surrounded by young people dancing and I'm feeling bewildered

[12:36] I've always been the Dick Van Dyke in that scene. Even when I was a young person

[12:38] I was the Dick Van Dyke in that scene, but it's more that the

[12:42] There's there's a there's a one

[12:43] it's one of those there's a lot of those movies the time where an older person is kind of confused by young people and

[12:48] That's played for laughs and the and then they're like this is the funniest thing that's ever existed

[12:54] Let's have this scene go on for 17 and a half minutes. Yeah, you know, yes, it's the same thing that happens with

[13:00] Comedy car chases a lot of the time where they're like, you know, what's funny cars kind of sliding around and bumping into each other

[13:07] Let's have that happen forever. We'll call it the Blues Brothers now Elliot

[13:12] I know the sort of late 60s movie and movie scene you're talking about and I know the

[13:17] Lugubrious pacing you're talking about the lugubrious pacing is really the problem. I will because I will say that

[13:25] While a modern, you know show doing a thing where they're like, oh aren't kids weird these days

[13:32] Generation gap shrug like that would anger me

[13:35] But I am charmed by seeing like films from earlier generations where out of it

[13:42] adults make fun of with it teens I

[13:45] Guess so. Yeah, I could see that sure. Uh, so what do you guys say though? You uh,

[13:58] I'm gonna say nut for me on this one. Okay, so

[14:03] For the for the last

[14:05] Film before our our break for our sponsors, which I have fucking planners or some shit

[14:12] Our sponsor day, which is oh no the peanut allergy Safety Council

[14:18] Well, no, the answer a legume. So we're safe

[14:22] Great. Good. Thank you

[14:24] So, of course, that's what I was worried about the lugubrious pace

[14:29] So, you know that you knew that this had to be on here from 1987 it's a little film we actually

[14:37] Rated are after after you mentioned nuts. I'll complain about look. I have a complaint about legumes

[14:41] Okay, you know, you know peanuts not actually they go, you know peanuts not actually a nut

[14:46] It's a legume as if I'm supposed to know what the fuck a legume is

[14:49] Like I just go around knowing what the rooms are all the time. It's weird for you to just wander around spouting facts

[14:57] I'm just saying the idea that I'm supposed to be like, oh it was a legume this

[15:01] As if I've any

[15:04] Other than a peanut. Yeah, exactly, you know, I need to amend my will

[15:08] What people go like a tomato is not a vegetable but a fruit

[15:11] I'm like, I've heard it before but I know what fruit is. I know what vegetable is. It makes sense. Mm-hmm a legume

[15:16] I don't know. It's it's I only know it in terms of peanuts being it surprisingly when they're like Elliot

[15:21] Tomato is a fruit not a vegetable and Ellie's like I wasn't gonna eat that shit anyway

[15:26] Get

[15:28] Away from me. Okay. Well the

[15:31] Take a bite out of it. Yeah. Well the air of that announcement was only let out a little bit by Elliot's bean rant

[15:41] Elliot's a real bean dad. I am only in that I'm a dad and me and my family love to eat beans

[15:47] That's the only nothing in common the plot of nuts

[15:51] Hashtag not all being that's

[15:53] What nuts is is thus it goes Leslie a high-class call girl

[15:58] accused of murder

[15:59] Fights for the right to stay in trial rather than be declared mentally incompetent. Is that what nuts is about?

[16:05] Yeah, look at this. Listen to this cast. You got Barbra Streisand great to Dreyfuss marine

[16:12] Wallach, those are the top four

[16:14] Do you say Eli Wallach?

[16:17] Eli Wallach is in it. Oh based on an off-off

[16:20] Broadway play by Tom Topor not Torpor as I originally

[16:26] So he's not a vampire who has taken too much damage and instead of dying falls into this weird fugue state. That's called

[16:33] Exactly, and he's a star of fiddler on the roof. No, it's Tom

[16:37] Topor who also wrote the accused and this one's directed by Martin Ritt of the long hot summer HUD

[16:44] Ombre Norma Rae and other films. Sure. Yeah, it's really like RIT

[16:51] Clothing or hair dye company. It's hair dye, right? How is it spelled?

[17:05] Yeah, fair point counselor is Martin Ritt related to RIT F habeas corpus

[17:11] Yeah

[17:12] That famous character is the name of like a Dick Tracy side character

[17:17] RIT RIT die is spelled RIT. Oh, no, Martin Ritt spells his name of tooties, right?

[17:23] Yeah, that's like a certain Elliot Kalin to tease you night me and Martin Ritch brothers of tooties for tootie

[17:31] Brother, yeah, you're real TT boy

[17:34] Yeah, it's like TT Barnum said

[17:38] There's no such thing as bad publicity

[17:42] A few flax a few facts about there's a sucker born every minute. It's

[17:47] TT Barnum said

[17:50] Maldon's final film. Also Leslie Nielsen's final dramatic film role the next year before he became a creature

[18:00] And also

[18:02] Barbara Babs Streisand got five million to appear in this film

[18:07] Which is the highest salary for an actress up until that point for nuts. Oh, yeah get that bag, honey

[18:13] big hit movie nuts

[18:15] based on a play so

[18:18] I'll tell you why I'm curious movie

[18:20] I've never seen it

[18:21] but I I do remember seeing the commercials for nuts airing on WPA X channel 11 New York's movie station when I was a kid and

[18:28] Thinking it must be a comedy because it's called nuts. And yeah, so so I'm very curious to see it

[18:34] I've never it's one of these movies from the I feel like there's a lot of movies from the 80s

[18:37] But I never saw because I wasn't old enough to see them at the time and they just never got around to them later

[18:42] Yeah, and I've been slowly

[18:44] Catching up on that. So yeah, I would go to see nuts. Yeah, you're like a robot cop. Okay

[18:51] Only in Detroit, I guess

[18:53] This is another one of the top ones on this list that I'm actually kind of curious about

[18:58] Both for the of course top notch cast and also nuts cast top nuts

[19:03] I'm also to play there to flashback to a time when actors were highly paid for starring in

[19:11] courtroom dramas and

[19:14] So what other characters do they reveal in the end credit scenes that then go on to to be in the sequels?

[19:24] Get paid a lot of money for now is to play a character who showed up in a few books in the 1960s

[19:30] And now they're right that that's the only characters left. So that's right the troll it is I

[19:37] Mean pip the trolls a great character anyone from the Starlin world is a great character, you know

[19:42] This isn't really a spoiler it's a don't bother to stick around there's no

[19:47] Very end of the post credit scene and we kind of forget forever and I was so relieved

[19:53] Yeah, sure, well, oh

[19:55] There's just like a middle of the credit scene. There's a shortly after the beginning of the

[20:00] that's we we pop back for a little bit of something and uh... is it is it

[20:04] pit the troll

[20:06] now that that was never to be seen

[23:46] oh, look

[23:48] oh man, you should have checked with them to see if you could get paid extra for that

[23:51] oh, I know

[23:53] I know

[23:54] so

[23:54] my future is in advertising

[23:56] or should I say, nutvertising

[23:58] Dan, take us back to the nuts, shall we?

[24:00] yeah, what a transition

[24:01] the next title

[24:03] talk about a nut way

[24:03] who is this, George Lucas?

[24:04] that's a segway for nuts

[24:07] we return to one of the more recognizable titles on the list

[24:10] despite being a huge bomb

[24:14] this felt like a peanut butter solution

[24:16] like 1994, it was called Mixed Nuts

[24:19] I figured Mixed Nuts was the one you were talking about

[24:21] PG-13

[24:23] what's the story of Mixed Nuts? I'm glad you asked

[24:25] Philip runs a crisis hotline with Catherine and Mrs. Munchnick

[24:30] I don't know if she's related to Munchnick, but this is Munchnick, I guess

[24:35] that's the easy part, now it gets tricky

[24:37] Ellis Island changes all names, huh?

[24:39] yeah, yeah

[24:40] Stanley loves evicting people and he evicts Philip

[24:43] Philip loves helping people and he's loved by Catherine

[24:46] Catherine is loved by Louis, who loves writing songs

[24:49] Chris loves dancing to songs and loves to wear large dresses

[24:53] Gracie also loves to wear large dresses because she's pregnant

[24:56] she loves the baby's father, Felix, who loves to paint

[24:59] Dan, are you okay?

[25:00] that just leaves Mrs. Munchnick, who hasn't been loved by anybody in a very long time

[25:06] whoever, whatever user of IMDB who wrote that

[25:12] congratulations

[25:13] this is a film directed by the queen of romantic comedy, Nora Ephron

[25:17] and co-written with her sister, Delia Ephron

[25:20] starring Steve Martin, Madeleine Kahn, Robert Klein, Anthony Lepaglia

[25:27] who else is in there?

[25:28] you got, what's his face?

[25:29] heavy hitters

[25:30] Gary Shandling

[25:31] what's his face is in it?

[25:32] Adam Sandler, young Adam Sandler

[25:34] many other notable comedians and stars

[25:37] it had a box office of $6.8 million on a budget of $20 million

[25:42] it's a remake of the French comedy, La Père Noël Est Une Hordeur

[25:48] and it's a Liam McPhyrus

[25:50] what does that directly translate to, Dan?

[25:52] well, Father Christmas is something, right?

[25:54] yeah, Father Christmas is a something

[25:57] let's look up what the

[26:00] throw that shit into Google Translate

[26:02] yeah, let's see

[26:08] Dan has trouble with Google Translate

[26:10] I'll just say that

[26:12] this is another one that I've never seen

[26:14] but I'm curious about

[26:15] if only because

[26:17] it's one of those movies that has an amazing cast

[26:19] and I remember seeing ads for it

[26:21] and yet I've never heard anyone talk about it ever in the history of my life

[26:25] I'm intrigued by

[26:29] flops of this era

[26:32] the mid-90s, early mid-90s

[26:35] I guess they're kind of boring usually

[26:37] but that's just because they're not fast or furious enough for me

[26:40] I think there's something about movies from that time

[26:42] because I grew up during that time

[26:44] where it's like, oh, it feels like coming home

[26:46] movies from the late 80s, early 90s

[26:48] it's like, oh, I can pull these on like an old pair of sweatpants

[26:51] you know, like some cozy pajamas

[26:53] two legs at the same time

[26:55] well, what I do is I put them on my sweatpant frame

[26:58] and then I jump into them

[26:59] I climb on the bed

[27:00] and I jump into them, into the pants, off of that

[27:02] yeah, but now you've got to shut up

[27:04] because this is a good payoff

[27:06] the meaning is, quote

[27:08] solid waste from the bowels of people or animals

[27:11] so basically, Father Christmas is a shit

[27:15] oh, I see

[27:17] so there you go

[27:18] that's a better title than Mixed Nuts

[27:20] but it doesn't apply to the game, unfortunately

[27:22] yeah, that's true

[27:23] unless there's nuts in the shit

[27:25] you never know, sometimes

[27:27] they don't digest easily

[27:29] you both were going to go nutty for Mixed Nuts

[27:31] is what I heard, I think

[27:33] I think so, yeah

[27:34] I feel like that's a good interpretation of what we just said

[27:37] okay, well

[27:39] you know, next up is a film from 1968

[27:43] 2001, A Nut Odyssey

[27:46] this is a Soviet movie

[27:49] it's a nut, nut, nut, nut world

[27:54] the nuts are coming, the nuts are coming

[27:56] a Soviet film from 1968

[27:59] its keywords for genre on IMDb are

[28:03] comedy, romance, war film

[28:05] and it's called

[28:07] only the Soviets can do that

[28:09] it's called A Hard Little Nut

[28:11] and the description is

[28:13] during World War II

[28:15] two Soviet soldiers, man and woman

[28:17] accidentally parachute into a Nazi camp

[28:19] the film's title

[28:21] is a pun on the word nut in Russian

[28:23] Oreshk

[28:25] as the lead character's last name is

[28:27] Oreshkina

[28:29] so that's all the information I have

[28:31] on A Hard Little Nut

[28:33] there's not a lot about it to be found

[28:35] but Elliot

[28:37] this seems like, I don't know

[28:39] fingers crossed, this sounds

[28:41] maybe up your alley

[28:43] it totally sounds up to me, I've never seen it

[28:45] you know me when it comes to Eastern European movies

[28:47] I know the former Czechoslovakia

[28:49] better than I know Russia

[28:51] when it comes to 60s comedies

[28:53] but yeah, it sounds

[28:55] super fun to me

[28:57] it's got all the things you need

[28:59] for a comedy

[29:01] you've got the horrific Soviet experience

[29:03] of World War II

[29:05] you've got the phrase Nazi camp

[29:07] which you can't go wrong with that in a comedy description

[29:09] but yeah, I think I'm going to have to

[29:11] try to find this somewhere

[29:13] maybe when they say camp they mean like a campground

[29:15] yeah, maybe it was summer camp

[29:17] and you know

[29:19] the country that did humor well

[29:21] was the USSR

[29:23] which I know is a collection of different states

[29:25] I mean, it's not that far from Hogan's Heroes

[29:27] right?

[29:29] no, that's true, and Hogan's Heroes, as everyone knows

[29:31] is a laugh riot, a gut-tusting laugh riot

[29:33] that in no way

[29:35] makes light tastelessly

[29:37] of a particularly terrible time in human history

[29:39] but I feel like I do want to see it

[29:41] I'm just curious about it

[29:43] ok, Stuart

[29:45] you know, there's

[29:47] there's gotta be some scene

[29:49] where the Nazis are at some kind of hippie rave

[29:51] and there's a rock and roll band playing

[29:53] and there's lots of young ladies dancing

[29:55] and flashing lights and colors

[29:57] and the Nazis are like, oh, what?

[29:59] and they're bewildered

[30:01] you know, that happens

[30:00] uh-huh shagadelic so if it's gonna be shagadelic I guess it's it I'm going

[30:06] nuts for it yeah sounds like it we're not well this one yeah here's another

[30:12] our second film that is based on a play it's based on a the 1925 play of the

[30:20] same name it's called the poor nut 1927 synopsis a shy botany student is

[30:28] infatuated with a girl but gives her the wrong impression of what he's really

[30:32] like that could mean nearly anything but that's your imagination runs wild

[30:40] let him run wild directed by Richard Wallace of a night to remember starring

[30:45] Jack Mulhall Charles Murray and Jean Arthur and a little bit of trivia this

[30:50] was Paul Kelly's last film before he was convicted of manslaughter and sent to

[30:55] prison in mid 1927 by the time was released behind bars and distributors

[31:02] opted to remove Kelly's name from the credits even though he was featured in a

[31:05] prominent role I gotta interrupt and say thank you for allowing us to rightfully

[31:11] add the true crime tag to this episode finally mm-hmm yeah so this sounds

[31:19] pretty good like I love I love romantic comedies that also include science like

[31:24] love potion number nine and hollow man so I'm into it away from away from his

[31:37] microphone with like a little devil Stewart is as wheels out of get out of

[31:41] camera sounds pretty good okay well the poor nut what do you think about this

[31:50] does this sound up your alley it's about a botany student infatuated girl

[31:55] gives her the wrong impression of what he's really like yeah I mean who has not

[32:00] to be missed early in our romantic relationships maybe don't you know

[32:06] present the full truth of who we are as a person it's a relatable story now I

[32:11] it's yet it's true we've all been there we're all in botany students give her a

[32:17] wrong impression of what we're really like that I bought some stock in the

[32:21] porn you bought the stock before you learned about the Paul Kelly thing yeah

[32:28] I will say I'm looking it up now and I'm DB I'm not familiar with it but I see

[32:33] Jean Arthur is listed as one of the cast members and I love Jean Arthur who

[32:36] doesn't from mr. Smith goes to Washington mr. deeds goes to town did

[32:40] you can't take it with you she's she's in lots of great stuff is she related to

[32:44] to Arthur the guy who's stuck between a moon in New York City no but she is

[32:49] related to Arthur the aardvark from the children's book and television series

[32:54] we ever get anyone to rescue Arthur the jaws of life this what happens let this

[33:00] be a lesson to masturbators everywhere the man didn't have enough what didn't

[33:03] have enough semen weighing him down and now he's caught between that's a good

[33:06] well with that we we go to our final film of the night this one's from 1935

[33:15] third film adapted from a play of the same name Elliot Elliot is drooling when

[33:21] you said 1935 he's like I can't wait I was like that I was like the wolf in the

[33:25] in the text of every cartoons tongue lolled out head turned into a sea

[33:28] whistle yeah it's called the nut farm it stars Wallace Ford and Betty Alden and

[33:34] is directed by George Wagner of the fighting Kentuckian and the wolf man

[33:38] the the synopsis is Bob and Helen decide to move to California and make a fresh

[33:44] start Bob wants to buy a nut farm but how is the title but dreams of being in

[33:51] the movies while Bob is looking for a farm to buy Helen is taken in by a group

[33:56] of scam artists who promised to make her a star

[33:59] Helen's brother Willie tries to prevent her and Bob from losing all their money

[34:03] to the scam artists that's the nut farm do like the introduction of Willie late

[34:09] in the game on that yeah I was surprised reading it yeah it's a real twist yeah

[34:19] so you know if people can buy a zoo they might as well buy a fucking nut farm so

[34:23] I mean yeah all the time the only problem is I I had a nut farm briefly

[34:42] and unfortunately the nutcracker showed up yeah that guy in his whole army they

[34:47] just wrecked all my nuts like yeah I had to call in a rat king to get him to

[34:51] leave and it was a whole deal it was a deal and I'm a nut farm allergy not to

[34:56] nuts but as soon as they're gathered together agriculturally you just get to

[35:00] the agricultural techniques that that that Ray is such a crop yeah well what

[35:06] do you guys think are you gonna go nut for the nuts for nuts the numeral for

[35:13] nuts I'm gonna say I'm gonna say nut without my daughter let me at that movie

[35:19] I'm gonna say nut thing will keep me from seeing the nut farm it's got nothing

[35:25] compares to you you being the nut farm Wallace Ford is what is a cast member a

[35:31] supporting cast member of my second favorite movie of all time shadow of a

[35:34] doubt so yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna have to see maybe the nut farm also has the

[35:38] spine tingling thrills that one of Hitchcock's great under heralded

[35:42] masterpieces also possesses because it's got the same actor in it mm-hmm yeah

[35:47] it's probably the same now what if now Dan if you had to choose one of these

[35:52] movies to be mashed together with another one of these movies which would

[35:57] it be in some sort of sort of nut like a like a like a nut medley or a paste

[36:02] exactly yeah to mush it into a butter or a paste yeah oh well I mean like in a

[36:09] sort of a culinary way or as a movie this is a movie okay cuz I feel like

[36:15] culinarily you want to have the mixed nuts in there no matter what I would

[36:20] argue whichever variety is a more fertile vein for improv comedy let's see

[36:28] I you know what let's move let's put mixed nuts and nuts together so that

[36:33] Barbara Streisand you know can call the crisis line that Steve Martin had like

[36:39] what like you know she is in crisis she you know they're trying to make her out

[36:42] that she has lost her sanity and this is why I think Lee reasonable she's a

[36:45] surprise yeah well that was the thing I did oops all nuts as you would

[36:54] oops all nuts all nuts winds down that nutty moon is high in the sky

[37:05] yeah so why not turn off this podcast and you know if you want it you know not

[37:12] take place and you know not November you can and if you don't that's fine to

[37:16] do whatever you want don't do some stupid thing some stupid fake sign I'm

[37:23] just worried I'm just worried that what's what Dan's gonna do for D's nuts

[37:27] December that's gonna yeah so you know what yeah if if you want if you want to

[37:35] watch a movie about nuts if you want to eat a nut if you want to be a nut
