[0:00] Hello everyone, welcome to another Flophouse Mini.
[0:08] Now Flophouse fans know that normally we on the Flophouse watch a bad movie and then we
[0:13] talk about it.
[0:14] True.
[0:15] We do that on alternate weeks.
[0:16] On the other weeks, we do Flophouse Minis and these are just us doing whatever we want
[0:21] which has mostly fallen to us taking turns running the other two through games that we've
[0:27] invented that alternately annoy and terrify them.
[0:31] So to introduce myself, Flophouse listeners, I will be your captain for this evening or
[0:37] should I say the master of ceremonies as we'll find out soon enough.
[0:41] My name is Elite Kaelin.
[0:42] We're playing Apocalypse World?
[0:44] Yep, we're playing Apocalypse World which we're living in right now.
[0:48] We're all playing that.
[0:49] So my name is Elite Kaelin and joining me are...
[0:52] I will be your host, your ghost host.
[0:57] But you're not the host.
[0:58] I'm the host tonight.
[0:59] But what's your name, Dan?
[1:00] I just wanted to say the haunted mansion thing.
[1:02] I'm Dan McCoy, your ghost host.
[1:07] And I'm the bit master.
[1:09] Master of bits.
[1:10] Doing bits all the time, dudes.
[1:13] Stuart Wellington.
[1:14] I was worried the bit was that you were never going to get around to your name.
[1:19] That's a good bit.
[1:20] The people, the first time listeners are like, yeah, I liked it.
[1:22] For these three hosts, Elite Kaelin, Dan McCoy, and Bit Master.
[1:25] His first name is Bit, his last name is Master.
[1:30] Anyway, yeah, he runs the hyper zone.
[1:33] So everybody, Dan, Stu, it's great to see you guys.
[1:36] I haven't seen you in a little bit since we recorded our last episode.
[1:40] You're welcome.
[1:41] Fans, it's great to see you again.
[1:42] I can see you while you're listening to this, so you should be ashamed of yourselves.
[1:46] Today we're going to play a very special game.
[1:49] That's right, everybody.
[1:50] It's a game episode, as I hinted at before.
[1:53] Now, we're recording this episode one day after my own wedding anniversary.
[1:57] The 12th anniversary of the day that I was yesterday.
[2:00] Ask me where we went out for dinner.
[2:03] Where did you go out for dinner, Elliot?
[2:06] What state are you in?
[2:07] I mean, I need a, I need, before I can make a guess, I need to know what state you're
[2:10] in.
[2:11] I'm in California.
[2:12] As far as I'm going, because I don't want to be doxxed.
[2:13] He just asked to be set up to answer.
[2:17] He didn't ask for a guess.
[2:18] French Laundry.
[2:19] No, no, no.
[2:21] The other end of the state.
[2:22] He didn't ask for guesses.
[2:23] Dan, give me one guess.
[2:24] I didn't ask for guesses, but give me one anyway.
[2:26] Get in on the guessing game.
[2:29] California Pizza Kitchen.
[2:31] We just call it Pizza Kitchen out here.
[2:33] Out here we just call it Pizza Kitchen.
[2:34] The eponymous Pizza Kitchen.
[2:36] But no, I didn't get to go to any restaurants, because my younger child had a cold, and so
[2:41] we had to cancel our plans to go to a fancy steakhouse, and instead we took in some food
[2:46] at home.
[2:47] So anyway.
[2:48] You got an, but there's.
[2:49] Where?
[2:50] Something good comes out of this, because now for the rest of your younger child's life,
[2:54] anytime he's about to celebrate any kind of thing, you can remind him of the time he ruined
[2:58] your anniversary.
[2:59] Exactly.
[3:00] Exactly.
[3:01] It'll be much like the time that he got sick on Valentine's Day, and we had to cancel those
[3:04] plans.
[3:05] I guess what I'm saying is, I'm worried about my son's health, and that's what we're going
[3:07] to talk about today.
[3:08] Okay.
[3:09] Child health pediatrics.
[3:10] Now, Dan, you went to school to be a pediatrician, but you dropped out like two years in.
[3:15] What did you learn?
[3:16] Well, I thought, you know, I thought it was podiatry is the thing.
[3:19] I thought it was about feet, and.
[3:21] True.
[3:22] And it took you two years.
[3:23] I guess I learned that, yeah, that pediatricians are not foot doctors.
[3:27] Okay.
[3:28] Contrary to popular belief by me.
[3:31] You briefly became a spin doctor, which you thought was a person who repaired record players.
[3:36] Yeah, but instead, I mostly was counting princes.
[3:40] There's one, two princes here before you.
[3:45] Oh, okay.
[3:47] And how do princes feel about me?
[3:48] Are they, do they like me or do they not like me?
[3:49] Oh, those are princes who adore you.
[3:52] That's what I said now.
[3:53] Did one of them bring me flowers?
[3:54] Oh, boy.
[3:55] Did they?
[3:56] And what do I have, and what do I have a pocket full of, Dan?
[3:59] Cryptonite.
[4:00] Now, Little Miss.
[4:01] Which is very good.
[4:02] Now, is Little Miss always right?
[4:04] No.
[4:05] Well, well, I mean, I wouldn't say she's always right, but I will say she can't be wrong.
[4:10] That's fair.
[4:12] We've now reached the extent of the spin doctor songs that I'm aware of.
[4:16] So in honor of my wedding anniversary, which was yesterday, again, we're going to be talking
[4:19] a little bit tonight about marriage and the movies in a three round game that I'm calling
[4:25] The Flophouse in the Aisle, which would normally mean a movie theater aisle, but in this case
[4:30] means the aisle between the pews at a traditional wedding.
[4:33] Or for short, this game is known as T-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W.
[4:41] For short.
[4:42] If you want to call it something a little snappier than the full name.
[4:43] Yeah, of course.
[4:44] Yeah.
[4:45] Which is, again, The Flophouse in the Aisle, which would normally mean a movie theater
[4:47] aisle, but in this case means the aisle between the pews at a traditional wedding.
[4:50] That's the full title.
[4:51] Couldn't be clearer.
[4:52] So let's now, we'll start this episode of T-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W.
[5:01] Alex, if you would put a little wedding organ music here to just transition to the game
[5:05] proper.
[5:06] That would be wonderful.
[5:07] Should I start my recording?
[5:21] Oh, dear.
[5:27] I hope you.
[5:28] Yeah, this is a good time to start that.
[5:29] Okay.
[5:30] And now the wedding organ music has hopefully finished transitioning us into the game after
[5:34] Stuart's puckish little prank.
[5:37] We'll start the game.
[5:39] Okay, everyone.
[5:40] Hello and welcome to this episode of America's favorite wedding based game, T-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W.
[5:51] And please welcome our contestants.
[5:53] That's right.
[5:54] Joining us from Brooklyn, New York is Dan McCoy.
[5:56] Say hi, Dan.
[5:57] Hi, Dan.
[5:59] And what's a fun fact about you that listeners might want to know?
[6:01] I have two cats.
[6:04] Okay.
[6:05] That's a fun fact.
[6:06] And our other contestant is Stuart Wellington, also of Brooklyn, New York.
[6:13] Stuart, what's a fun fact about you?
[6:15] I ate a piece of steak tonight.
[6:18] Okay.
[6:19] And you have two cats.
[6:22] That's true.
[6:23] If I have two cats, is that a fun fact?
[6:26] I think, you know what?
[6:27] It's now a fun fact that both contestants have two cats.
[6:29] That's right.
[6:30] So we've got a four-cat game here on TFHIT-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W.
[6:37] We've never had a four-cat game before, and we're very excited about it.
[6:40] A first in TFHIT-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W history.
[6:48] So guys, now it's time for the first round of our game.
[6:51] I'm glad we get to meet our contestants.
[6:52] Hey, before we get into the game, earlier I had introduced myself as the Bitmaster.
[6:56] Can I please give that title to you now?
[6:59] Are you allowed?
[7:00] Because your commitment to this bit is legendary.
[7:03] Thank you.
[7:04] Maybe later in the game.
[7:05] Maybe later in the game.
[7:06] We'll see if the bit continues or if I get tired of it, too.
[7:08] I'll keep the cap upon my head, my worried brow.
[7:11] Oh, so heavy is the head that wears the Bitmaster cap.
[7:17] Oh, it's hard to sleep with it on.
[7:19] Okay, so that's part of the bit.
[7:20] So we're going to start with round one.
[7:23] And this round is entitled, With This Movie, I, The Wed.
[7:27] Now, I'm going to name two actors and you're going to tell me
[7:30] what movie they have a wedding or get married in.
[7:33] Okay?
[7:34] You're going to take turns doing that.
[7:35] I'm going to give you the names of the actors, not of the characters.
[7:38] And you're going to tell me what movie they get married in.
[7:41] I want to apologize beforehand at the lack of, let's say,
[7:45] diversity of types of relationship or types of people in this.
[7:48] Blame Hollywood.
[7:49] That is Hollywood's fault, not mine.
[7:52] We can only work with what we've been given by the movies
[7:55] here at T F H I T A W W N M A M T A B I T C M T A B T P A A T W.
[8:01] I don't think there's a faster way of saying this.
[8:03] There isn't.
[8:04] So this section is going to have 16 questions.
[8:06] You're each going to take turns.
[8:07] And are you going to ask me if you can steal?
[8:10] Can we steal?
[8:11] Yes, you can steal.
[8:12] Of course you can steal because marriage is all about stealing
[8:15] someone's heart and then holding it in a box and never giving it back.
[8:18] A heart-shaped box.
[8:19] A heart-shaped, but I think that's just a heart.
[8:22] You're only allowed to hold it in a heart-shaped box for a week.
[8:25] And then you got to transfer it.
[8:27] Then you got to take it up to a plateau.
[8:29] Yeah.
[8:30] And, uh, what's some other Nirvana songs?
[8:32] Uh, well, yeah.
[8:34] What's that heart smell like?
[8:35] There's something in the way that you have to get past.
[8:38] So take your box to the place.
[8:40] Uh, smells like teen spirit.
[8:42] Sure.
[8:43] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[8:44] Okay.
[8:45] So, yeah.
[8:46] So let's, so we're going to unplugged.
[8:48] You should come as you are.
[8:50] Okay.
[8:51] Now this is not actually, this is not actually part of the round.
[8:53] I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.
[8:55] So, uh, 16 questions.
[8:57] Again, this round is called with this movie.
[8:58] I, the wed, I give you the actors.
[9:00] You tell me what movie they get married in.
[9:02] Uh, Stuart, we're going to start with you because you have technically
[9:06] been married longer than Dan at this point in current relationships.
[9:09] Wow.
[9:10] Technically.
[9:11] Yeah.
[9:12] Yeah.
[9:13] We're only counting one.
[9:14] Uh, one each.
[9:15] So you're technically correct, which is the best kind of correct as
[9:18] So Stu, here's your first one.
[9:20] And again, Dan, if he can't figure it out, if he gets it wrong, you get,
[9:23] you can attempt to steal it.
[9:24] First question.
[9:25] Maya Rudolph and Tim Heidecker.
[9:27] Oh, uh, bridesmaids.
[9:29] That's right.
[9:30] Bridesmaids.
[9:31] The movie in which I don't know if the cast knew that Tim Heidecker was
[9:34] playing the groom.
[9:35] He has no lines in the movie and he just kind of shows up in the
[9:38] corner of the face.
[9:39] I just assumed it was this complicated alt comedy routine he was
[9:42] doing.
[9:43] Exactly.
[9:44] Okay.
[9:45] Dan, this next one is for you.
[9:46] Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.
[9:47] And what movie do they get married in?
[9:48] Is that Runaway Bride?
[9:49] I'll accept it.
[9:50] Technically it's called The Runaway Bride, but let's not be pedantic
[9:51] here.
[9:52] Let's not.
[9:53] Okay.
[9:54] Stuart, you're up.
[9:55] Okay.
[9:56] I'm up.
[9:57] I'm up.
[9:58] I'm up.
[9:59] I'm up.
[10:00] I'm up.
[10:01] I'm up.
[10:02] I'm up.
[10:03] I'm up.
[10:04] I'm up.
[10:05] I'm up.
[10:06] I'm up.
[10:07] I'm up.
[10:08] I'm up.
[10:09] I'm up.
[10:10] I'm up.
[10:11] I'm up.
[10:12] I'm up.
[10:13] I'm up.
[10:00] Number three is for you.
[10:01] Okay, okay.
[10:02] Classic film, everyone remembers it.
[10:04] Salma Hayek and Matthew Perry.
[10:06] In what movie do they tie the knot?
[10:08] Fools Rush In.
[10:09] You know it, Fools Rush In.
[10:11] Fools Rush In to the theater to see that movie.
[10:13] The confidence with which Stewart
[10:15] pointed at the screen.
[10:16] I knew that shit.
[10:18] Okay, this next one, Dan.
[10:20] Let's see if you can be as confident as Stewart.
[10:22] Okay, Catherine Zeta-Jones and George Clooney.
[10:25] In what movie do they get married?
[10:26] Intolerable Cruelty.
[10:28] You're right, also known as Intolerable Movie.
[10:31] Mm, yeah.
[10:32] It's fine.
[10:33] It's just not.
[10:34] It's just not one of the Coen Brothers top films, no.
[10:37] I like how quickly you abandon your commitment to that burn.
[10:40] Well, it's tough for that movie
[10:41] because if the Coen Brothers hadn't made it,
[10:43] it still wouldn't have been great,
[10:45] but I think people might have given it
[10:46] a little more credit if the Coen Brothers are masters.
[10:49] You know, they're not just bit masters,
[10:51] although they are masters of bits as well.
[10:52] Okay, Stewart. They're bass masters.
[10:54] They are bass masters.
[10:55] They're pretty good at catching fish
[10:59] and marrying them to each other.
[11:00] And okay, Stewart, here's your next one.
[11:02] That's what that fucking video game is?
[11:04] Yeah.
[11:05] Yeah, you have to marry the fish together.
[11:07] Yeah.
[11:08] It was originally called Bass Marrier,
[11:10] but it was confused because they thought people
[11:11] were saying you marry the bass,
[11:12] like you marry a bass and live with it forever.
[11:14] No, that's not it, right?
[11:15] No, no, you just perform marriage ceremonies
[11:16] between two fish.
[11:18] Okay, so speaking of two fish,
[11:19] here's a marriage between two people who are not fish,
[11:22] but they might be eating fish at the wedding.
[11:24] It's Talia Shire and Gianni Russo.
[11:28] Wait, is this for me?
[11:29] This is for you, Stewart.
[11:30] Fuck.
[11:32] I have no idea.
[11:33] Okay, Dan, any idea?
[11:34] Dan can seal this shit.
[11:35] Is that the godfather?
[11:37] You're right, it is the godfather.
[11:39] I didn't expect either of you to know
[11:40] that Gianni Russo was the husband,
[11:43] but Talia Shire was the giveaway.
[11:44] I was ready with a clue, but you didn't need it.
[11:46] Okay, so Dan, now it's your turn.
[11:48] Wallace Shawn and Twink Kaplan.
[11:51] Sorry, Twink Kaplan?
[11:53] Yes.
[11:54] Okay.
[11:56] You know what?
[11:57] Gotta trade it back.
[11:58] Don't know this one.
[12:00] Okay, okay, Stewart.
[12:04] My Dinner with Andre.
[12:05] No, there's no marriage in My Dinner with Andre.
[12:08] It's just the only characters in it are Wallace Shawn
[12:10] and Andre Gregory and the waiter.
[12:12] That was Clueless.
[12:13] That was the movie Clueless,
[12:15] which ends with Wallace Shawn and Twink Kaplan
[12:17] getting married.
[12:18] I should've known that.
[12:19] But you're gonna get this one,
[12:20] because it's, whose turn is it?
[12:22] Stewart's turn now?
[12:22] Mine, yeah.
[12:23] Chris Pang and Sonoya Mizuno.
[12:30] God damn it.
[12:31] Big hit movie.
[12:33] I don't know, Dan, you wanna steal this one?
[12:38] Nope, I don't.
[12:40] Okay, it's Crazy Rich Asians.
[12:42] Crazy Rich Asians, hit movie.
[12:44] I know you both were probably thinking it,
[12:46] but you didn't wanna guess it
[12:47] because you thought you would seem racist.
[12:48] You wouldn't have.
[12:49] You would've seemed knowledgeable.
[12:51] Okay, well, maybe this'll take some of the sting out of it.
[12:54] I believe this is Dan's turn again.
[12:55] Dan, it's your turn.
[12:56] Okay, how about this?
[12:57] John Lithgow and Alfred Molina.
[13:01] Oh, what is that movie called?
[13:04] You have to tell me.
[13:07] What is it called now?
[13:13] I don't know.
[13:14] I can, I know it exists.
[13:16] I know the movie, but okay, Stewart.
[13:21] Say it again, who is it again?
[13:23] John Lithgow, you may know him best from Raising Cane
[13:25] and Alfred Molina, Dr. Octopus himself.
[13:28] Okay, so it's probably not Raising Cane.
[13:32] No, I mean, here's another hint.
[13:34] It's not Buckaroo Manzai either,
[13:36] in which he played Dr. Lizardo.
[13:40] Oh, fuck, it's probably not Third Rock from the Sun.
[13:44] No, that was a TV show.
[13:47] Maybe it's the world of Corny Garp, Stewart.
[13:50] Who knows?
[13:52] You never know.
[13:53] Oh, fuck, oh man.
[13:55] Could be the stage version of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
[13:58] I'm gonna pass, I don't know.
[14:00] Okay, the answer is Love is Strange.
[14:02] That was a movie called Love is Strange.
[14:06] And guys, it's time for a mini category.
[14:08] That's right, this game again is called
[14:11] With This Movie I'd Be Wed.
[14:12] Here's a mini category, it's called
[14:13] I Now Pronounce You Almost Man and Wife.
[14:16] These are movies in which a wedding is taking place,
[14:19] but is interrupted and does not get finished.
[14:21] The first question goes to Stewart,
[14:24] Michael Keaton, and Winona Ryder.
[14:26] In what movie do they almost get married?
[14:32] I don't know.
[14:33] Wait, Reality Bites.
[14:37] Dan, do you wanna steal?
[14:38] That would be Beetlejuice.
[14:40] That's right, Beetlejuice.
[14:41] God damn it.
[14:43] There's even like a little ghost priest,
[14:45] he's a little tight neck.
[14:47] Don't worry, Stu, don't worry, Stu.
[14:49] Maybe you'll steal this one from Dan
[14:50] if he doesn't get it.
[14:51] Probably not.
[14:53] You never know, you never know.
[14:55] Actually, hold on.
[14:58] Are you trying to find something tougher?
[15:00] No, no, no, I'm not going to.
[15:01] You know what, I briefly was going to,
[15:03] but I decided not to.
[15:04] Dan, how about this?
[15:06] In what movie do Chris Sarandon
[15:08] and Robin Wright almost get married?
[15:10] That would be The Princess Bride.
[15:12] That's right, The Princess Bride.
[15:14] Okay, that's the end of that mini round.
[15:16] Now it's back to the main game,
[15:18] which again is still called,
[15:19] With This Movie, I Be Wed.
[15:20] Okay.
[15:21] Indistinguishable from the other game.
[15:23] It's a little indistinguishable.
[15:26] Okay, this one's for Stuart.
[15:27] So, Stuart, this is Timothy Walker and Sarah Crowe,
[15:31] then David Haig and Sophie Thompson,
[15:33] then Andy McDowell and Corin Redgrave,
[15:35] and then Andy McDowell and Hugh Grant, I think.
[15:37] I've actually never seen the movie.
[15:40] What, what, Four Weddings and a Funeral?
[15:42] You're right, Four Weddings and a Funeral.
[15:44] Yes, although at the end of Four,
[15:46] you haven't seen it.
[15:47] They agree not to get married,
[15:49] Andy McDowell and Hugh Grant.
[15:51] Oh, well, I'm still going to give Stuart credit
[15:53] and I'm going to dock myself a point.
[15:55] I've never seen the movie.
[15:56] Too many weddings, not enough funerals.
[15:58] That's what I said.
[15:59] You want equity.
[16:01] Let's have a funeral wedding parody, please, you said.
[16:05] Thank you.
[16:06] Yeah, death at a funeral, perfect.
[16:09] Excellent.
[16:09] I mean, just throw a wedding in there
[16:10] and then it'll be all fine.
[16:12] So again, haven't seen it.
[16:13] Maybe there's a wedding in that also.
[16:15] Okay, Dan, this one's for you then.
[16:17] Gerard Depardieu and Andy McDowell.
[16:20] Is that green card?
[16:22] You're right, that's green card.
[16:24] Okay, Stuart, this one's for you.
[16:26] Samara Weaving and Mark O'Brien.
[16:30] Wait, goddammit.
[16:34] Ready or not.
[16:34] You got it, ready or not.
[16:36] And wait, was that three Andy McDowell movies in a row?
[16:38] That's right, it was a surprise movie segment.
[16:41] Andy McDowell hat trick.
[16:43] A mini segment we call Mac and Dowell, Mac and Dowell
[16:46] go together like a horse and towel.
[16:48] That segment is over now, though,
[16:49] and back to the main game.
[16:51] So this one's-
[16:52] I guess if you ride a horse hard and put it away wet,
[16:55] a towel needs to be involved.
[16:56] You need to wipe away that wet.
[16:57] Use a towel.
[16:58] Somehow.
[16:59] Yeah, that makes sense.
[17:00] Go together.
[17:01] Matt checks out.
[17:02] Dan, this one's for you.
[17:03] Adam Sandler and Kevin James.
[17:05] And what movie did they get married?
[17:06] That is, goddammit.
[17:07] I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry.
[17:09] You got that right.
[17:11] I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry.
[17:13] I now pronounce you correct.
[17:15] That's what I should have said.
[17:16] I was too busy thinking about how that movie
[17:17] is a crime against the human race.
[17:19] Moving on, here is the final round of this round.
[17:24] There are two more rounds after this main game.
[17:26] This final segment of the round is called-
[17:28] We're in a sub round.
[17:29] This is a side quest inside the main quest.
[17:32] This round is called Dearly Be Puppeted,
[17:36] and you'll understand why when you hear the questions.
[17:38] Stuart, this first one is for you.
[17:40] In what movie do Jim Henson and Frank Oz get married?
[17:49] Fuck.
[17:51] The Muppet movie?
[17:53] No, you're on the right track, but not quite.
[17:56] I'm gonna give you another guess.
[17:58] Muppets Take Manhattan?
[18:00] Yes, you got it.
[18:01] The Muppets Take Manhattan.
[18:03] Somebody's getting married.
[18:05] Yeah, that one, I wanted to give you another one
[18:07] because I knew Dan was waiting like a vulture
[18:08] just swoop down and pull it out of your mouth.
[18:11] Yeah, and Dan, this one's for you.
[18:13] In what movie does Robert Picardo
[18:15] and the voice of Mark Dodson get married?
[18:18] I'm sorry, the voice of Mark?
[18:20] I'm assuming that's Gremlins 2, The New Batch?
[18:24] You're right, it's Gremlins 2, The New Batch.
[18:25] Is that it or Winter's Face?
[18:27] I don't know the name of the puppeteer,
[18:28] but Mark Dodson is credited on the internet at least
[18:31] as the voice of Greta the Gremlin.
[18:33] And guys, that's the end of our first round,
[18:36] the first round of T-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W.
[18:43] We're going to be back with more T-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W
[18:51] goodness right after this word from our sponsor.
[18:54] Yeah.
[18:54] Who is T-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W?
[19:01] Sponsored by this week.
[19:02] You know what?
[19:03] It's LumiLabs.
[19:04] If you have listened to Elliot rattle off a string of letters three times in a row,
[19:11] you've probably heard about microdosing because that's the easiest way to enjoy such shenanigans.
[19:18] Oh, to survive it.
[19:19] If not, if you haven't heard of such things,
[19:22] just know that all sorts of people are microdosing daily to feel healthier and perform better.
[19:29] You'll never know.
[19:30] They could be around you right now.
[19:31] They could be looking at you at this very moment.
[19:35] Our show today is sponsored by Microdose Gummies.
[19:39] Microdose Gummies deliver perfect entry-level doses of THC that help you find just the right amount of good,
[19:47] or feel just right, but also find it.
[19:49] I mean, they dose it.
[19:51] You gotta find it to feel it.
[19:52] That's the old saying.
[19:53] You gotta find it to feel it.
[19:55] Look, I've tried these things.
[19:56] It is, uh, it is...
[20:00] is very enjoyable. It gives you a dose that makes you feel a little better, a little more
[20:07] relaxed, a little calmer, a little more creative, but doesn't take you into a world where, you
[20:14] know, as a stronger dose might, you don't understand what's going on, which is, you
[20:20] know, like that's the sweet spot. That's what we call the sweet spot in science. So what
[20:28] I would like to tell you, the listener, is that microdose is available nationwide, and
[20:32] if you'd like to learn more about microdosing, THC, go to microdose.com and use code FLOP,
[20:40] that spells flop, to get free shipping and 30% off your first order. Links can be found
[20:47] in the show description, but again, that is microdose.com, code flop.
[20:54] Yeah, you gotta find your sweet spot so you can feel your sweet spot.
[20:57] Mm-hmm, and you just wanna, but then don't just spend your whole time feeling your sweet spot.
[21:01] I know the temptation is there, but you gotta go do other things.
[21:04] That's the thing about being an adult. You have the freedom to just sit around feeling your sweet spot all day,
[21:10] but you know that there's other stuff you gotta get done.
[21:14] Exactly.
[21:15] Even when I'm at work, that's up to you, Stuart.
[21:17] I mean, you could, but you shouldn't. I mean, you're your boss, so I don't know who's gonna fire you.
[21:22] Thanks.

[22:41] So join us on Maximum Fun or wherever you listen to podcasts.
[22:45] Let's get tiny!
[22:50] Well, after that talk of sweet spots, it's time to come back to T-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W.
[23:00] And just a reminder, Dan and Stuart are our T-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-Wers today.
[23:10] And they're doing great. Let's look at right now.
[23:12] After round one, Dan is in a slight lead. He has eight points to Stu's five points.
[23:17] So, Stu, still within striking distance. That's right.
[23:20] This is still anyone's game of T-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W.
[23:28] I don't know why I said it that way. I said it weird.
[23:31] All right, guys. It's time for round two.
[23:34] This round is called Best Man or Forever Hold Your Peace.
[23:37] This is a little different than the last round. The last round was just pure trivia knowledge.
[23:40] This round, you're going to have to use a little bit of your creative skills.
[23:44] Okay. We're going to look at two different relationships.
[23:48] Let's say these characters from the movies are getting married.
[23:50] One of you is going to take a turn for each one as the best man giving a speech about how great the couple is.
[23:56] The other will play the part of the person objecting at the wedding and saying that these two couples – this couple should not get married.
[24:05] Oh, wow.
[24:06] So Dan, since Stuart went first in the last round and you're in the lead, you get to choose whether you'd rather be the best man first or the person objecting first.
[24:14] So our first couple –
[24:15] The hater. I would like to be the hater first.
[24:18] Okay. You'll be the hater.
[24:19] Oh, shit.
[24:20] Okay. So Stuart, you'll be the best man.
[24:22] So this first couple is Buzz Lightyear and Jessie the Cowgirl from Toy Story 3.
[24:26] Stuart, you're there giving a speech. Who would like to go first, Dan or Stu, the hater or the best man?
[24:33] I mean I feel like the best man should give the speech first before the hater or first man.
[24:38] Okay. So Stuart, you're the best man.
[24:40] It's the reception or maybe it's one of those weddings where the best man is doing the actual ceremony, and it feels more like a long inside joke speech than an actual sacred ceremony that bonds two souls for eternity.
[24:51] You're there. You're there because you're either your best bud, Buzz, or your best gal, Jessie.
[24:56] I don't know who you're supporting, but you're talking about what a great couple they are, why they should always be together.
[25:01] Give us your best man speech for Buzz Lightyear and Jessie the Cowgirl.
[25:04] So I got up here to – I'm sorry.
[25:11] Buzz asked me to give a little bit of a – wait.
[25:14] Okay.
[25:17] So Buzz asked me to give a little speech on his big night, and yeah, I mean what can I say about this?
[25:28] He's a crazy man.
[25:31] Remember that time when we went out to Queens and had drinks?
[25:37] He knows what I mean.
[25:39] He knows what I mean.
[25:41] So yeah, like he's always there for me, and like Jessie, you're – I mean you got to kiss a lot of frogs, you know?
[25:52] And Buzz, man, he's always got my – you always got my back.
[25:57] I always got your back, bro, anytime.
[26:00] Yeah.
[26:02] So let's give it up.
[26:04] Let's – come on, dude.
[26:07] Let's do a toast to Buzz and Jessie forever.
[26:12] Okay.
[26:13] That was great.
[26:14] It was short on specifics, but it was long on realism.
[26:20] Dan, now you are the hater.
[26:22] You are objecting to this wedding between Buzz Lightyear and Jessie the Cat.
[26:25] Stand up and tell everyone what your problem is.
[26:27] There are twin pillars of my argument against this relationship.
[26:31] Number one, the age difference.
[26:34] Depending on how you're looking at it, the age difference cuts both ways.
[26:39] Number one, Jessie seems to be indefined as her age, but she seems maybe late teens, and Buzz Lightyear reads as sort of late 30s, early 40s character.
[26:54] Whereas also, flip it, Jessie seems to be based on some sort of black-and-white TV show from the 50s, whereas Buzz Lightyear seems to be a modern toy of some stripe.
[27:09] So the other way doesn't work either, and also I don't think they have anything in common.
[27:16] One is a cowboy.
[27:18] One is a spaceman.
[27:20] This is the second pillar of your argument?
[27:22] This is the second pillar.
[27:23] If the movie Cowboys and Aliens has taught us nothing else, it's that mixing cowboys and space stuff doesn't work.
[27:31] So boo to this union.
[27:34] Boo, I say.
[27:36] Okay, both strong arguments.
[27:38] Strong, really aggressive argument.
[27:40] It seems both of you had a little bit of the nip of the tail before you came to this wedding.
[27:47] Each of you had a taste of the toy that would get you.
[27:51] Okay, strong showing, strong showing.
[27:53] Now there's one more of these in this round.
[27:55] Now in this one, we're flipping spaces.
[27:57] Dan, you're the best man.
[27:59] We're going to talk about this couple and how great they are.
[28:01] Stuart, you're objecting.
[28:02] You don't think they should get married.
[28:04] This is Bill Duke and Jessie Ventura from Predator.
[28:06] They're obviously lovers in the movie.
[28:08] It's not stated outright, but it seems pretty clear to me watching the film recently as I did re-watching it after watching Prey.
[28:14] I said let me re-watch the original Predator, and I said this movie is exactly the movie.
[28:18] I remembered it except for the obvious affection between Bill Duke and Jessie Ventura.
[28:21] So okay, Dan, you're the best man.
[28:23] Tell us why you—
[28:24] He's playing the characters Mack and what's Jessie Ventura's name?
[28:27] Jessie Ventura's character name is – hold on.
[28:29] Let me look it up because I forgot it.
[28:31] Yeah, I mean Bill Duke's Mack is one of the best action movie performances of all time.
[28:36] Oh, yeah.
[28:37] So in Predator, he plays Blaine.
[28:40] Blaine, right.
[28:41] Blaine, yeah.
[28:42] So this is between – and now it's your choice, Dan, whether this is between the characters, Blaine and Mack, or this is between the actors.
[28:47] Bill Duke and Jessie Ventura.
[28:49] Sure.
[28:50] You're the best man.
[28:51] Look, I—
[28:53] You're the best man.
[28:54] It's your choice who's getting married.
[28:55] Go for it.
[28:56] Here's what I'm going to say.
[28:57] I'll be frank.
[28:58] I know that everyone's going to hate me for this.
[29:02] Don't particularly go for the movie Predator.
[29:05] To me, a little too much bang, bang, bang for an action movie.
[29:11] Like just people shooting at each other doesn't excite me.
[29:16] A humanoid alien doesn't really excite me.
[29:20] Be a little more creative.
[29:21] This is the best man speech.
[29:22] No, look.
[29:23] This is what I'm saying.
[29:24] I'm saying that like it may not be for me, and maybe that means that I don't actually know really who these characters are.
[29:34] Because all I remember is the second half of the movie once all these characters have been killed and Arnie and the Predator are facing off against each other.
[29:43] But I'll tell you something.
[29:44] To have the guts to be an outcouple in an action movie where with Arnold Schwarzenegger shooting at an alien in the 80s, that means that the love must be true.
[30:00] So, raise a glass to Bill Duke and Jesse Ventura and their union.
[30:07] I can't believe Dan topped my best man speech.
[30:10] He's one of those best man speeches where the families of both sides are like looking
[30:21] at each other really embarrassed like, what's going to happen here, but then he pulled it
[30:25] out at the end.
[30:26] Yeah, yeah.
[30:27] It takes a lot of guts to go to Bill Duke and Jesse Ventura's wedding and talk about
[30:31] how you don't like Predator.
[30:32] I'm sorry.
[30:33] I mean, it's not that I don't like it.
[30:35] I just, you know, it's never been one of my favorite of the 80s creature features.
[30:39] I certainly have always felt it was that Predator was punching above its league by getting tied
[30:44] to Alien.
[30:45] Yes.
[30:46] Because Alien and Aliens are such beautifully made movies.
[30:48] Alien is a nearly perfect movie of that form.
[30:51] And Predator, re-watching it, I was like, there's a lot I don't remember about Predator.
[30:55] And I watched it and I was like, oh no, I remember all of it.
[30:57] It's an incredibly thin movie.
[30:58] Like, there's not a lot going on in this movie.
[31:00] That's part of the appeal.
[31:02] It's a nice movie about an alien that shows up and then they do some battles.
[31:05] Exactly.
[31:06] They do some battles.
[31:07] And so now, Dan, it takes guts.
[31:10] It takes guts.
[31:11] I got my work cut out for me.
[31:13] Speaking of guts, Stuart, you're about to go to Bill Duke and Jesse Ventura's wedding
[31:16] and tell them why they shouldn't get married.
[31:17] You are going to leave beat up.
[31:19] So what's your speech?
[31:21] Go for it.
[31:22] OK.
[31:23] I burst into the chapel.
[31:24] My clothes, ragged and dusty.
[31:26] My hair, wild.
[31:28] My eyes, crazy.
[31:30] I have been crying.
[31:32] And I say, stop, stop.
[31:35] Mac and Blaine can't get married because I'm already married to Mac.
[31:40] The crowd goes insane.
[31:41] People are losing their minds.
[31:45] He's been, he's locked me up in the attic.
[31:47] Of course he did.
[31:49] And now he's found a new piece in this Blaine?
[31:53] I'm Mr. Mac.
[31:54] This is bullshit.
[31:55] OK.
[31:56] Wow.
[31:57] And then shortly after, I burn down the house.
[32:02] I die in the fire.
[32:04] Mac is horribly burned, which is not as bad as what happens to him in the movie, strangely.
[32:10] The movie is torn apart by an alien missile, right?
[32:12] Yeah.
[32:13] Oh no, it gets shot through his head.
[32:14] Shot through his head.
[32:15] It's awesome.
[32:16] Very gothic romance.
[32:17] And so you're saying Jesse Ventura then shows up to find, to find Bill Duke blind, but,
[32:23] but ready to love again.
[32:24] Love him anyway.
[32:25] Yeah.
[32:26] Yeah.
[32:27] OK.
[32:28] Love him anyway, despite every description of him as being like a shitbag and ugly.
[32:33] So I did not expect it to go in that direction.
[32:35] I didn't realize that, uh, that, uh, other than just bringing on Shane Black for, uh,
[32:39] for uncredited rewrites, they also brought in, uh, the Brontes as well.
[32:46] But I'm all for it.
[32:48] That sounds great.
[32:49] So, uh, guys, I'll tell you what, after that round, the scores are now tied.
[32:53] You each have 15 points.
[32:55] So going into round three of T F H A I T A, wait, I got the letters wrong.
[33:00] T F H I T A W W N M A M T A B I T C M T A B T P A A T W.
[33:06] The scores are tied.
[33:07] Thank God you corrected that before Twitter got ahold of it.
[33:10] Oh, it would have been a nightmare.
[33:13] So guys, uh, onto round three of T F H I T A W W N M A M T A B I T C M T A B T P A
[33:22] A T W.
[33:23] And we're going to go back and limber up that knowledge part of your brain again.
[33:27] We're done with creativity.
[33:28] You both did a fantastic job.
[33:30] That was the essay section of the college application, and you both got accepted to
[33:34] move to university.
[33:35] So here it is.
[33:37] Round three.
[33:38] We're going to take things in a little bit of a darker direction.
[33:41] This category is called till death do us part because people have said half of all
[33:47] marriages end in divorce, which means the other half end in death, which is true.
[33:51] All things end in death because we are mortal.
[33:53] Nobody lives forever.
[33:54] And so funerals like weddings are an important part of life, and they also involve a lot
[33:58] of crying and formal wear and varying degrees of catering, varying degrees of quality.
[34:04] And there's flowers in there too.
[34:05] So it's kind of like the flip side of a wedding.
[34:07] The funeral is like, oh, we're not so different.
[34:10] You and I, two sides of the same world, giving up Skellington's.
[34:14] Yeah.
[34:15] And the wedding is like, I'm nothing like you.
[34:16] I don't kill.
[34:17] And the funeral is like, don't you?
[34:19] And the wedding is like, no, I don't.
[34:20] I don't know why.
[34:21] I understand why.
[34:22] Why am I?
[34:23] Anyway, that's what they say.
[34:24] So that's enough of a connection, I think, for this game.
[34:26] So in this game, it works similar.
[34:28] Remember how in the first round I named the people getting married and you told me the
[34:31] movie in this one.
[34:32] I'm going to name the actor whose funeral it is in the movie.
[34:35] And you're going to tell me what the movie is.
[34:38] OK.
[34:39] OK.
[34:40] So are you ready?
[34:41] This is round three of T-A-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W till death do us part.
[34:50] And Stuart, you're going to go first on this one.
[34:52] Mm hmm.
[34:53] Mm hmm.
[34:54] Mm hmm.
[34:55] So you went first in the first round.
[34:57] So this first one, Gene Hackman.
[34:59] In what movie do we see Gene Hackman's funeral?
[35:02] OK.
[35:03] Gene Hackman.
[35:04] Mm hmm.
[35:05] Let's see.
[35:06] Not to be confused with Gene Pac-Man, who, of course, eats up power pellets and is chased
[35:11] by ghosts all the time.
[35:13] Gene Hackman does not eat power pellets, though he is chased by ghosts.
[35:17] So it's not Unforgiven because he does die in that.
[35:24] We don't see his funeral.
[35:25] Yeah.
[35:26] Yeah.
[35:27] Man, I don't know, like.
[35:31] It's not Welcome to Moose Court.
[35:34] Is it, I don't know, Royal Tenenbaums, maybe?
[35:36] You're exactly right.
[35:37] It's Royal Tenenbaums.
[35:38] Is the Royal Tenenbaums.
[35:39] And I would like to give a personal, just like a PSA.
[35:46] It's not called the Royal Tenenbaums.
[35:49] That would be the Royal Christmas Trees, a thing I've heard many times.
[35:54] It's an E, Tenenbaums.
[35:57] That's just a personal, the more you know from me to you.
[36:00] This is an issue I didn't even know existed, but I'm so glad that you've brought my attention
[36:04] to it so that I don't have to go back to forgetting about it.
[36:06] This is my petty charity that I run.
[36:10] Now let's say the Royal Tenenbaums are right.
[36:15] I haven't been able to get a non-profit status for it.
[36:19] Mostly, like, you know, I talked to the government.
[36:22] They're like, this seems like a really, like, asshole correction to make, and we don't want
[36:26] to be part of it.
[36:27] Yeah.
[36:28] I, yeah, I agree with him.
[36:31] So Dan, let's just say, let's say there was a movie called the Royal Tenenbaums.
[36:36] What would that movie be about?
[36:37] It would be about a bunch of Christmas trees that are royal blue.
[36:44] Blue Christmas trees.
[36:45] Okay.
[36:46] Yeah.
[36:47] Well, that's the, that's the gimmick of it.
[36:48] Like it's a, it's a, it's an ad man of the sixties being like, blue Christmas trees.
[36:55] How do we sell this?
[36:57] Like a Hudsucker proxy type thing?
[36:58] Yeah, exactly.
[36:59] Okay.
[37:00] And now the leaves are blue or the trunks are blue or just the whole thing's blue.
[37:02] I don't know.
[37:03] I mean, they're like, they're needles, right?
[37:04] It's a conifer, Elliot.
[37:05] I don't know what leaves you're talking about.
[37:08] This is a...
[37:09] Well, the needles are essentially the leaves of a conifer.
[37:11] It's just a different way of evolving a thing that's used for photosynthesis and for respiration.
[37:15] Sure.
[37:16] Well, now we've gone too far down a track where I'm being annoying.
[37:21] So let's go back to the questions.
[37:23] You're right.
[37:24] We were safer when you were just correcting the way people pronounced a movie that not
[37:28] that many people talk about too much anymore.
[37:31] So okay.
[37:32] Then Dan, this one's for you, Stuart.
[37:34] You aced that.
[37:35] You pulled it out.
[37:36] Yes.
[37:37] Thank you.
[37:38] Let's see if Dan's going to feel the same way about this one.
[37:39] Macaulay Culkin.
[37:42] That would be, spoiler alert, the film My Girl.
[37:48] You're right.
[37:49] My Girl.
[37:51] I feel like a lot of audiences should have gotten that spoiler ahead of time.
[37:58] Yeah.
[37:59] The trailer for that did not indicate how sad that was going to get.
[38:03] No, the trailer really makes it look like a laugh a minute wacky comedy about two kids.
[38:06] If you loved Home Alone, you're going to watch the shit out of this.
[38:09] It should have been, if you want to see that kid from Home Alone die from bees.
[38:15] Yeah.
[38:16] Hey, don't you wish...
[38:17] Finish the job the wet bandit started.
[38:19] Yeah, don't you wish the wet bandits finally got it up on little Kevin?
[38:23] Finally, you can.
[38:24] Now, that was this movie that I didn't see it in the theaters, but my mom and my sister
[38:29] went, and they talked about how they were very shocked by his dying in it and were not
[38:33] expecting it.
[38:34] And then during the funeral scene, an old person in the theater let rip with an enormous
[38:37] fart and it really cut the tension.
[38:38] Oh my God.
[38:39] Yeah.
[38:40] Perfect.
[38:41] That's what you need at that moment.
[38:43] Yeah.
[38:44] Speaking of what you need at that moment, it's time that we need another question.
[38:47] And so Stuart, this one's for you.
[38:48] In what movie do we see Steve Buscemi's or Steve Buscemi's or Buscemi's, however you
[38:52] want to pronounce it.
[38:53] I'm not a Royal Tannenbaum, Tannenbaum type guy.
[38:55] Pronounce it however you want.
[38:57] What movie do we see Steve Buscemi's funeral?
[38:59] Okay.
[39:00] So we're talking about Steve Buscemi, an actor who I saw eating a meal outside of a restaurant
[39:08] like two weeks ago, right?
[39:10] Yeah, the same one.
[39:11] The same guy.
[39:12] The same one I used to see walking around in the same neighborhood.
[39:15] And he would notice that I noticed him and then turn away.
[39:18] The same guy that you want to brag about just running into by happenstance.
[39:26] That's the one.
[39:27] What was he eating?
[39:28] What was he eating?
[39:29] Hey, I'm just trying to clarify.
[39:31] It's for the game.
[39:32] There's nothing in the rule book that says I can't ask these questions.
[39:35] But you've introduced a tangent, which is called Elliot's Neighborhood Stories.
[39:40] And I just want to talk about the two famous people I used to pass by all the time when
[39:43] I lived in Park Slope, Brooklyn, Steve Buscemi, who did not want to be bothered during his
[39:47] errands.
[39:48] And John Turturro, who would just walk into traffic and yell at cars, whistle loudly.
[39:53] It just seems like if he was not famous, would just be a neighborhood character.
[39:55] I used to love just seeing him.
[39:58] So Steve Buscemi, what movie do we see?
[40:00] funeral. The same Steve Buscemi guest that you saw eating outside a restaurant.
[40:02] Now, he was eating, it wasn't like he was eating out of a can.
[40:05] I still want to know what he was having.
[40:06] No, yeah, he wasn't, he wasn't, he wasn't like some kind of raccoon character.
[40:11] What sort of food?
[40:12] Yeah, this is a raccoon roll.
[40:15] I believe you're talking about the Big Lebowski.
[40:18] That is the Big Lebowski, correct. It is a funeral for him in the Big Lebowski
[40:22] that ends with the other characters covered in his ashes.
[40:26] Hilarious and poignant scene.
[40:27] Dan, number four.
[40:30] Some people, I guess, would call him the Steve Buscemi of his day, maybe.
[40:32] William Hickey.
[40:33] In what movie do we see William Hickey's funeral?
[40:39] I'm going to take a stab here.
[40:41] Is that Pritzy's Honor?
[40:44] Not the one I'm thinking of.
[40:45] I could not remember if he actually has a funeral on camera.
[40:49] He might, in which case, I apologize if you lose business,
[40:52] but it's been so long since I've seen Pritzy's Honor.
[40:56] There's another movie I'm thinking of where he has a funeral at the beginning of the movie.
[40:58] The funeral doesn't go well.
[41:00] Do you want another crack at it?
[41:02] The funeral doesn't...
[41:03] Well, he's not dead in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation unless he's playing a zombie.
[41:12] Possible.
[41:14] You know what?
[41:15] I'm not going to come up with it.
[41:18] I'll let Stu try and steal if he has the wherewithal.
[41:22] Yeah, I'm going to steal it.
[41:23] Was it Pritzy's Honor?
[41:26] No, well, you both made a valiant effort.
[41:28] It's possible, in which case, you've cancelled each other out.
[41:30] I couldn't remember if he was actually dead, if he had a funeral on that,
[41:34] and Wikipedia was no help in its summary.
[41:36] So the movie I'm looking for is Mouse Hunt.
[41:38] That's right, Mouse Hunt with Nathan Lane.
[41:40] Oh, yeah, man.
[41:41] Hunt.
[41:42] Which opens with his funeral, which ends with his body
[41:44] getting hurled out of the coffin into a manhole.
[41:50] So...
[41:50] Sounds hilarious.
[41:52] It's great.
[41:53] So if you both got a point, it cancels each other out, or you didn't get a point.
[41:56] It doesn't matter.
[41:57] So, uh, right in care of Elliot Kalin at the Flophouse,
[42:01] do we see William Hickey's funeral in Pritzy's Honor?
[42:03] I don't remember.
[42:04] Okay, so here's the next question.
[42:07] This is for Stuart, and that is Orson Welles twice in the same movie.
[42:13] In what movie do we see Orson Welles have two funerals?
[42:19] Transformers the movie.
[42:20] No, he had a funeral in real life shortly after recording his role for Transformers the movie.
[42:27] Dan, would you like to steal?
[42:29] This is one of my standard answers for, like, you know,
[42:34] it's always in one of my top five movies.
[42:37] The Third Man.
[42:38] Yep, it's The Third Man.
[42:40] Beautiful movie, fantastic movie.
[42:42] Opens with a funeral, and then there's a funeral at the end.
[42:45] And then you get to see a lady walk down a path for a really long time.
[42:48] But in the context of the movie.
[42:50] In the context of the movie, you're like, what's going on?
[42:52] What's she thinking?
[42:52] What's going to happen?
[42:54] Exactly, yeah.
[42:55] And I don't know if you guys know this.
[42:56] It has a really fascinating Zither score.
[42:59] Yeah.
[42:59] Thanks, Stuart.
[43:00] One of the top Zither scores ever.
[43:03] I think if you were going to put together...
[43:04] In the top three, at least.
[43:06] Just like top Zither scored movies.
[43:10] And if you're going to put Zither Consposers, Anton Karas, this has to be up there.
[43:13] Oh, yeah, he's one of the best.
[43:15] For me, guys, Anton Karas.
[43:18] I don't know.
[43:18] This might be controversial.
[43:20] But top Zitherman.
[43:23] Some people say to me all the time.
[43:24] They go, Elliot, who do you think is the greatest film composer of all time?
[43:28] And I'm like, well, maybe John Williams, maybe Ennio Morricone.
[43:32] And they go, uh-uh-uh-uh.
[43:33] On the Zither?
[43:34] Yeah, Zither.
[43:34] There's no competition.
[43:36] Anton Karas blows them all away.
[43:37] Yeah.
[43:38] Top film composers, Zither Division.
[43:40] Yeah.
[43:41] Which was the original name of Joy Division.
[43:43] They had to change it to Zither Division.
[43:45] Because there's already a band called Zither Division.
[43:46] Because Anton Karas was so popular at the time.
[43:49] OK, so Dan, now this next one's for you.
[43:51] Excellent steal.
[43:52] Nice steal.
[43:53] A real criminal, just like Harry Lyme in The Third Man.
[43:58] Though he's more of a black marketeer than a thief, necessarily.
[44:01] But he's stealing the life out of children with his watered-down medicine.
[44:04] So, Dan, you're just like that.
[44:06] And here, the next one goes right back to you.
[44:08] This is Gregory Peck and Lee Remick.
[44:11] That's right.
[44:11] It's a double funeral.
[44:13] Gregory Peck and Lee Remick.
[44:16] Is this The Omen?
[44:18] Yes, you're right.
[44:19] It's The Omen.
[44:20] Wasn't sure you would get it or not.
[44:22] Because the only part really worth remembering in that movie is when David Warner's head
[44:26] gets slashed off our rest in peace with that huge plate glass window.
[44:30] There's also the part where she says, the Danny says, it's all for you, Damien.
[44:35] Yeah, that's true.
[44:35] That's true.
[44:36] That part's pretty good, too.
[44:37] Yeah, that's a good point.
[44:38] OK, Stuart, let's see if you can make up some points.
[44:42] You're only behind Dan by one at this point.
[44:44] Can you make it up with this one?
[44:45] Leonard Nimoy.
[44:46] In what movie do we see a funeral for Leonard Nimoy?
[44:49] Or Nimoy, as some people say.
[44:51] Dan, don't correct me.
[44:53] I wouldn't drink.
[44:55] I know you're just big on pronunciations.
[44:57] I got this one.
[44:59] Transformers, the movie.
[45:01] No, no, no.
[45:03] I mean, the genre is somewhat correct.
[45:05] Is that your final answer?
[45:08] Yeah, I get multiple answers.
[45:10] OK, let's do it.
[45:11] Dan, you're going to steal.
[45:12] You're going to swoop in and steal this heel.
[45:14] Star Trek to the Wrath of Khan.
[45:17] That's right.
[45:17] Star Trek to the Wrath of Khan.
[45:20] It's also known in Germany.
[45:21] Star Trek.
[45:24] Oh, cool.
[45:26] Yeah, they don't.
[45:26] They didn't.
[45:27] They they didn't.
[45:28] They don't have a word for wrath.
[45:29] Strangely enough.
[45:30] OK, guys.
[45:30] Weird.
[45:31] Wait, do you hear that?
[45:33] That that swift sound?
[45:35] That's right.
[45:35] That's time for a mini segment inside this segment.
[45:39] It's one of our patent t f h i t a w w n m a m t a b i t c m t a b t p a a t w
[45:46] patented segments.
[45:47] People love it.
[45:47] This is MCU, Marvel Cemetery Universe funerals in superhero movies.
[45:53] So this is just a clue for you for each of these.
[45:55] It's a movie.
[45:56] It's a superhero movie.
[45:57] This is OK.
[45:58] So I think maybe let's make these up.
[46:00] OK, Dan, you get this first one.
[46:01] Robert Downey Jr.
[46:04] Wait, the movie that his funeral was in.
[46:06] Yeah, Avengers Endgame.
[46:09] You got it.
[46:10] OK, Stuart Willem Dafoe.
[46:13] Uh, it would be Spider-Man.
[46:16] You got it, Dan.
[46:18] Michael Rooker.
[46:19] Uh, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume two.
[46:23] You're right.
[46:24] And Stuart Chris Pine, but only his voice.
[46:28] Oh, uh, uh, Spider-Man multiverse movie.
[46:32] Uh, should I Spider-Verse movie?
[46:36] I'll allow it.
[46:37] You know what?
[46:37] Judges all allowed Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse.
[46:39] Let's not be.
[46:40] I know you knew which movie it was.
[46:41] And now we go back to the main game.
[46:43] That was a very it was a fast lightning round for MCU.
[46:45] Great work, guys.
[46:46] OK, there's only a few questions left in the game.
[46:48] OK, this next one is for Dan.
[46:51] Henry Cavill.
[46:53] Uh, uh, oh, fuck.
[47:00] Which one was he?
[47:03] Is it Batman versus Superman?
[47:06] Give me the full title.
[47:09] Yes, I was going to be pedantic about that one.
[47:11] Batman versus Superman.
[47:11] It couldn't have been, of course, in the MCU category because it's not Marvel.
[47:15] It's instead in the Snyder-Verse since Zack Snyder now, I guess, owns those characters.
[47:19] The Snyder's Pretzel-Verse.
[47:25] I feel like I feel like someone at DC.
[47:30] We've got it.
[47:31] We've got to work on this.
[47:32] Utz Cinematic Universe or Utz-Verse.
[47:34] It's the only way to compete.
[47:37] I feel like someone at DC or Warner Brothers, like,
[47:39] wished on a monkey's paw for a superhero universe.
[47:41] And it's it's only led to problem after problem for them.
[47:44] OK, Stuart, this one's for you.
[47:46] Samuel L. Jackson.
[47:47] In which case, which movie do you see a funeral for Samuel L. Jackson?
[47:53] Oh, man, wait a minute.
[47:58] I can give you a hint if you'd like.
[47:59] Give me give me a hint.
[48:01] He's not really dead.
[48:03] He attends his own funeral.
[48:06] Uh, is it?
[48:11] Uh, it's uh, it's Captain America Winter Soldier.
[48:17] No, no.
[48:17] Does he have a funeral in that one?
[48:18] I know he think he's dead.
[48:19] Maybe not.
[48:21] I don't fucking know.
[48:22] I don't remember.
[48:24] I can't remember.
[48:24] You know what?
[48:25] Oh, that's what I thought he was the one that we were going for.
[48:29] OK, so, Dan, you don't want to you're trying to steal your way.
[48:31] Is it?
[48:32] It's so it's not a Marvel thing.
[48:34] It's a Jackie Brown.
[48:35] Are we talking about out of Marvel Cinema Cemetery?
[48:38] You know, we're talking about the return of Xander Cage.
[48:44] Does he die in that one?
[48:46] But he's not actually dead.
[48:47] We are talking about Triple X, the return of Xander Cage.
[48:51] That's the one in which he is killed by a satellite falling to earth and exploding right
[48:55] next to him.
[48:56] But then it's revealed at the end that it was a fake.
[49:00] I'm an idiot.
[49:01] He does.
[49:02] No, no.
[49:02] He does fake his death in Winter Soldier.
[49:04] But I don't know if there's a funeral or not.
[49:05] Again, that's the thing with these characters, these actors who are in a lot of movies.
[49:09] Sometimes they multiple funerals.
[49:10] And finally, OK, this will be the final question of this round, except for a bonus question.
[49:16] Dan, this one's for you.
[49:17] Simon Callow.
[49:18] In what movie does Simon Callow have a funeral?
[49:21] Callow, four weddings and a funeral.
[49:24] He is the titular funeral in that film.
[49:27] That's right.
[49:27] He's the funeral in that one.
[49:29] That's right.
[49:30] Now, here's a bonus question.
[49:31] Here's a bonus question.
[49:33] Stuart, if you get this one, so let's do a quick tally of the scores.
[49:37] Dan is currently up by five points.
[49:40] If you get this one, if you get this one, I will give you six points to win the game.
[49:47] It's not very fair, but we're not always fair here.
[49:49] T-F-H-I-T-A-W-W-N-M-A-M-T-A-B-I-T-C-M-T-A-B-T-P-A-A-T-W.
[49:55] We're not always fair.
[49:55] Sometimes we're just in it for the lols.
[49:57] OK, does anyone say that anymore?
[49:58] I don't think so.
[49:59] So.
[50:00] Stuart. Yeah. Harris Howe Stru. As far as I can tell, he has appeared in one movie,
[50:07] and there's a feudal for him, but only in the extended version of the movie that he's
[50:11] in. Fuck. Okay. Um, that's going to be. God damn it. And Dan, if you're able to steal
[50:26] this, I'll give you a hundred points. Uh, what's the actor's name again? Harris Howe
[50:32] Stru. Fuck. Oh no. Oh no. But only in the extended version of the movie. It's not in
[50:40] the theatrical release. I know. I know. I know. It's fine. Uh, fuck. Uh, yeah. No, yeah,
[50:48] I can, I can do this. Yeah, I can do it. You can do it. You can do this. I've done, I've
[50:54] done the hard things before. I can, I can do this. This is, you can do this. And this
[50:58] is the prizes are glittering. It's victory in this bullshit game. That means nothing.
[51:04] Uh, it's being known forever as the T F H I T A W W N M A M T A B I T C M T A B T P
[51:12] A T W champion. Uh, I don't know. Like the hobbit battle of the five armies. Oh, so close.
[51:22] So close. Dan, do you, do you want to steal? I mean, as long as it doesn't take any points
[51:27] away from me, I don't want to risk my insured victory. I'm, but if it sounds like a coward's
[51:34] answer, my guess, here's my, this is a pure guess. Uh, the Zack Snyder cut of justice
[51:42] league. Oh no. You were way off. Stuart, you were in much better territory. It was in Lord
[51:48] of the Rings. The two towers. Wow. He plays the character. He plays the character of fear,
[51:54] dread Prince of Rohan's son of course. In the theatrical cut, the King only finds out
[52:00] his son has died, but in the extended edition, he gets no funeral. You know, parents should
[52:05] have to bury their child. You know what? I think that's worth a tie. I think that Stuart
[52:11] came so close to that as a tie on this game. He did come really close. He did come really
[52:15] close. You know what? I'm going to give you five good job bucks, which ties things up.
[52:20] I'm so excited. You can see the years, uh, lift off my body. Much like the years lifted
[52:26] off the Odin's body when Saruman's fell magics were pulled from him by Gandalf. Well, you
[52:32] both played a great game. This has been a fantastic episode of T F H I T A W W N M
[52:38] A M T A V I T C M T A B T P A A T W one of the best ever. I think maybe it's up there.
[52:46] And certainly when we put our, our annual best of T F H I T A W W N M A M T A B I T
[52:52] C M T A B T P A A T W we're going to, yeah, we're getting, when we updated every year
[52:57] with the new clips, this is, there's definitely gonna be some in this. So thank you so much
[53:01] for playing Dan and Stuart. Thank you to everyone out there for listening. Thank you to whoever
[53:07] invented marriage because you know what? It may have started as a way of treating women
[53:10] as property and cementing the, uh, the bonds between royal houses, but it's turned into
[53:14] a really beautiful way for two or more people to share their lives together. And that's
[53:19] really something. Uh, so let's thank everybody out there who's ever felt love. Those were
[53:24] searching for love and those who need love because we all need each of those people.
[53:30] Maybe one or two of them are a little extraneous, but I'm not the one to judge who can tell
[53:33] that's, that's for God to know. So I mean, it's not, there's a lot of people. I'm sure
[53:39] not all of them are necessary for the function, but I can't choose which is right. Some names
[53:46] in your death note, Elliot, who cares? I forgot I have this death note and I never use it.
[53:50] I should really use it more often. I got you that for your birthday. I want to thank our,
[53:55] thank Alex for producing and editing this. I want to thank everyone at max fun. Uh, there's
[54:00] lots of other great max fun shows out there. So please, uh, take a listen and enjoy them.
