Transcript
[0:00]
Hello, Flophouse friends, and welcome to another Flophouse Mini.
[0:09]
That's right, it's one of our off-week mini-episodes.
[0:11]
Normally, at the Flophouse, we watch a bad movie and then we talk about it, but on our
[0:15]
mini-episodes, we're just gonna do whatever we want, which has turned into a series of
[0:20]
games that each of us kind of throw at the other ones for that explanation.
[0:24]
Sometimes they make sense, sometimes they don't.
[0:27]
Joining me, my name is Eli Kalin, joining me on this week are my regular co-hosts, and
[0:30]
their names are Dan McCoy, Stuart Wellington, and we're recording this on a night when Dan
[0:38]
is recovering from an illness, and Stu is tired, and I'm also tired, so let's see what
[0:43]
happens, because we're doing a series of games tonight that I have prepared, each less interesting
[0:48]
than the last, for my two co-hosts.
[0:50]
So...
[0:51]
Oh, great.
[0:52]
Okay.
[0:53]
Wait, I meant to say more fiendish.
[0:54]
Uh-oh, what did I say?
[0:55]
Yep.
[0:56]
Now, guys, how are you feeling today?
[0:59]
You ready for a little bit of game-playing?
[1:00]
Sure.
[1:01]
You know me, I'm a real game boy, just slap a little cartridge in my back and play, I
[1:07]
don't know, Alleyway, Brickle, what's the game on...
[1:14]
Super Mario Land?
[1:15]
It sounds like, or Tetris?
[1:17]
It sounds like...
[1:18]
Yeah, Tetris makes the most sense.
[1:20]
Like David Cronenberg's Nintendo ad would have been slapping a cartridge into someone's
[1:24]
back and then their face would turn into a Game Boy screen, and it would say, you know,
[1:29]
all hail the new games, or something like that.
[1:31]
You know?
[1:32]
That sounds great.
[1:33]
Let's do it.
[1:34]
Why didn't he make that commercial?
[1:35]
Let's play those new games.
[1:36]
Let's do it.
[1:37]
So, Mr. Cronenberg, if you're listening, please write Dan McCoy a care of, why didn't you
[1:43]
make any Nintendo commercials?
[1:44]
I'm just...
[1:45]
One, two, three, fake, straight, or send it as an email or tweet at us.
[1:47]
I'm just trying to move this thing along.
[1:49]
You know, we recorded a full episode before this.
[1:52]
Before this.
[1:53]
Yeah, I think that's why.
[1:55]
But it's going to come out after this one.
[1:58]
So just to bring the audience up to date, I finally got coronavirus and I'm very tired,
[2:04]
but we're still putting out...
[2:05]
Yeah, Dan will go into more detail on that next week after this episode is released.
[2:11]
So let's get to the games.
[2:12]
We're still putting out content, though.
[2:13]
Yeah, yeah.
[2:14]
We're recording this episode the day after 4th of July, and that means that Bastille
[2:18]
Day is right around the corner.
[2:19]
That's right.
[2:20]
It's the most revolutionary time of the year, the time when people get a little antsy and
[2:24]
start overthrowing their governments.
[2:26]
And so, guys, I thought I'd have a series of games for you about revolutions and American
[2:32]
history since even though this will be released a week after the 4th of July, we're recording
[2:36]
it, you know, the day after or a little bit less than a week after.
[2:39]
Anyway, so I've got four different rounds.
[2:42]
You guys will compete against each other and they have to deal with movies.
[2:45]
Do you guys like movies?
[2:47]
You know it.
[2:48]
I'm a real freak.
[2:50]
How about games?
[2:51]
Do you like games?
[2:53]
You know it.
[2:54]
I'm a real game boy.
[2:55]
What about games about movies?
[2:58]
You know, are we talking about when you pop in a DVD and like it plays like a little scene
[3:02]
and then you have to like guess what's going on?
[3:05]
Something like that.
[3:06]
Yeah.
[3:07]
I mean, that's just watching the first scene of a movie usually.
[3:08]
But.
[3:09]
Oh, shit.
[3:10]
That is what I do.
[3:11]
And just to finish up the questions, do you like movies about games?
[3:18]
Yeah.
[3:19]
Quiz show, war games.
[3:21]
I like war games.
[3:23]
OK, well, stop thinking about those.
[3:24]
We're not actually.
[3:25]
I'm not.
[3:26]
I should not actually.
[3:27]
Games.
[3:28]
Yeah.
[3:29]
Yeah.
[3:30]
The game is which is it's called the game, but there are actually other games, too.
[3:34]
It's not the only game.
[3:36]
It should be a game.
[3:37]
Barely playing a game.
[3:39]
To be fair, it's not much of a game.
[3:41]
So we've got four rounds.
[3:42]
The first one I'm calling real R.E.E.L.
[3:45]
Life Revolutions.
[3:47]
And so I'm going to ask I'm going to describe a movie to you and you're going to tell me
[3:51]
what movie with the word revolution in the title I'm asking you about and you'll take
[3:56]
turns with these.
[3:57]
OK, so let's flip a coin to see who goes first.
[4:00]
And flipping.
[4:01]
Dan, you call heads or tails heads.
[4:04]
Who landed on the edge.
[4:06]
I'm going to have to flip a second coin.
[4:08]
Hold on, guys.
[4:09]
Yeah.
[4:10]
OK, flipping.
[4:11]
Dan, call heads or tails.
[4:12]
Tails.
[4:13]
You're not going to believe this.
[4:14]
A raven swooped down and ate the coin before it landed.
[4:17]
Oh, my God.
[4:18]
You know what?
[4:19]
Dan, you just go first.
[4:20]
Dan, you just go first.
[4:21]
That was so raven that I was eating coins in there.
[4:24]
So very raven.
[4:25]
You'll go first.
[4:26]
OK, so.
[4:27]
So, Dan, what revolution movie is this?
[4:30]
I'm going to put you I'm going to paint a word picture.
[4:34]
It's we're in a suburb.
[4:36]
Life is kind of boring, too boring for Kate Winslet.
[4:40]
And Michael Shannon sure has a lot of truth to land on people.
[4:44]
Due to the fact that, according to this movie, emotional instability and mental illness are
[4:48]
a pathway to seeing through the illusions of things.
[4:52]
Dan, what revolution movie is this?
[4:54]
This is a film I have not seen, but I believe it is titled Revolutionary Road.
[5:01]
You're right.
[5:02]
Oh, and you didn't see it.
[5:03]
That's fine.
[5:04]
Stuart, it's it stars Michael Shannon.
[5:07]
He's a he's a regular in the neighborhood to the point that now like he'll walk past
[5:14]
the bar and somebody will be like, that guy looks like that actor.
[5:17]
And I'll be like, it is that actor.
[5:19]
Yeah.
[5:20]
Audrey, so I'm at a restaurant the other night when she went out to restaurants like a person.
[5:25]
I know Michael Shannon's.
[5:28]
They're just like us.
[5:29]
This has been another exciting chapter of Tales of Shannon, in which we hear that Michael
[5:34]
Shannon walks by bars and patronize his restaurants.
[5:37]
Now, Stuart, it's your question.
[5:39]
OK, can't wait.
[5:40]
OK, what revolution is this?
[5:43]
You're living sometimes inside a computer, sometimes not.
[5:47]
And you can fly and stuff.
[5:48]
And you have really betrayed the promise of the earlier parts of the series.
[5:52]
What revolution is this?
[5:56]
I would say I would say Matrix Revolutions.
[6:01]
Yeah, that's right.
[6:03]
Matrix Revolutions.
[6:04]
I was waiting for you to say singular.
[6:06]
It's Matrix Revolutions.
[6:07]
OK, Dan, we're heading this is a short round.
[6:09]
We're heading towards the end of the round.
[6:12]
OK, what revolution is this?
[6:14]
We're not going to settle this on the battlefield.
[6:16]
We're going to settle it with a dance off.
[6:18]
And it is, yes, also a sequel.
[6:22]
Dance Dance Revolution.
[6:23]
Oh, I'm sorry.
[6:25]
That's a video game.
[6:26]
That's not a movie.
[6:27]
I was confused.
[6:28]
Stu, would you like to steal this one?
[6:30]
Uh, no.
[6:31]
OK, well, it's it's a step up revolution.
[6:36]
Step up.
[6:37]
Now they had another step up revolution.
[6:40]
You got to be on it.
[6:42]
Which one is it?
[6:43]
Which one in the series?
[6:44]
Don't know.
[6:45]
Haven't seen it.
[6:46]
Don't know.
[6:47]
Don't care.
[6:48]
Don't care.
[6:49]
Don't care to learn.
[6:50]
There are surprisingly few movies.
[6:51]
Surprisingly few movies with revolution in the title, it turned out after I'd already
[6:54]
decided on this being the first round game.
[6:56]
OK.
[6:57]
OK.
[6:58]
There's one more.
[6:59]
This is Stu.
[7:00]
OK.
[7:01]
What revolution is this?
[7:02]
It's not the word revolution, but it is a movie that was supposed to be the new Ghostbusters
[7:06]
and did not turn out to be the new Ghostbusters.
[7:09]
Uh, wait, is it Ghostbusters Revelations?
[7:14]
No.
[7:15]
I'm going to give you also a hint.
[7:18]
It's got David Duchovny in it.
[7:20]
Oh.
[7:21]
Oh, shit.
[7:22]
Uh.
[7:23]
This one's a little bit of a trick.
[7:24]
California.
[7:25]
No, it's not coming.
[7:26]
Dan, would you like to steal it?
[7:27]
This one's called Evolution.
[7:28]
That's right.
[7:29]
It's evolution.
[7:30]
It's not revolution.
[7:31]
Wait, is it Plague God?
[7:32]
It's got Orlando Jones in it.
[7:33]
Yes.
[7:34]
No, it's not.
[7:35]
It's not House of D either.
[7:36]
It's not any of the other Keanu Reeves, David Duchovny things.
[7:37]
Uh, here's the problem.
[7:38]
The only other movie with revolution in the title I could find was an Al Pacino movie
[7:39]
called Revolution set during the American Revolution that I had never heard of.
[7:40]
So I decided I have to go with Evolution.
[7:41]
OK, guys.
[7:42]
That poster.
[7:43]
That poster is awesome.
[7:44]
For what?
[7:45]
Evolution?
[7:46]
No, for Revolution with David Duchovny.
[7:47]
OK.
[7:48]
OK.
[7:49]
OK.
[7:50]
OK.
[7:51]
OK.
[7:52]
OK.
[7:53]
OK.
[7:54]
OK.
[7:55]
OK.
[7:56]
OK.
[7:57]
OK.
[7:58]
OK.
[7:59]
OK.
[8:00]
OK.
[8:01]
OK.
[8:02]
Oh, yeah.
[8:03]
There is nothing wrong for Revolution with Al Pacino.
[8:04]
Well, it's just his face.
[8:06]
I've.
[8:07]
Doesn't it?
[8:08]
Doesn't like a pony tail?
[8:09]
It does, like a ponytail.
[8:12]
That's true.
[8:13]
OK, guys.
[8:14]
Pause for trapper.
[8:15]
So round two.
[8:16]
OK, this one is called Real Life Revolutions.
[8:19]
That's our EAL Life Revolutions.
[8:21]
I'm going to name a movie.
[8:23]
You're going to tell me what the real life revolution in real history that happened for
[8:27]
real that movie is about.
[8:29]
OK.
[8:30]
Are you ready for this?
[8:32]
Bop.
[8:33]
Bop.
[8:34]
Bop.
[8:35]
Bop.
[8:36]
Bop.
[8:37]
Bop.
[8:38]
Bop.
[8:39]
Bop.
[8:40]
Natasha Kinsky's.
[8:41]
So are you ready for this round?
[8:42]
Yeah.
[8:43]
First, Stuart.
[8:44]
OK.
[8:45]
The movie is The Patriot.
[8:46]
What Revolution is that?
[8:49]
Oh, fuck the American Revolution.
[8:52]
I don't know why you were so startled by it.
[8:55]
Because I was thinking about how dumb a fucking movie that is.
[8:58]
It is.
[8:59]
OK, Dan.
[9:00]
This movie is called Les Miserables.
[9:03]
That's the French Revolution.
[9:07]
You are wrong.
[9:08]
That is not the French Revolution.
[9:09]
What?
[9:10]
Stuart, you want to take it?
[9:11]
You said it was a revolution.
[9:12]
So if it's not that one, then what could it be?
[9:15]
I knew you would say the French Revolution.
[9:17]
Which is wrong.
[9:18]
Les Mis does not take place during the French Revolution.
[9:20]
The Industrial Revolution?
[9:21]
No.
[9:22]
It was the 1832 Paris Uprising.
[9:25]
That's nearly 60 years after the French Revolution.
[9:28]
It was a revolution.
[9:29]
But not the one called the French Revolution.
[9:30]
I thought it had to be the name.
[9:31]
Classic trick.
[9:32]
He fucked with us.
[9:33]
It's OK.
[9:34]
You fell into it.
[9:35]
You fell into the trick.
[9:36]
OK, Stuart.
[9:37]
Then you get the next one.
[9:38]
The next one is called Danton.
[9:39]
What revolution does that take place during?
[9:40]
Wait.
[9:41]
What's it called?
[9:42]
Tonton?
[9:43]
No.
[9:44]
Tonton is during the Star Wars Revolution.
[9:45]
Danton.
[9:46]
Danton.
[9:47]
Yes.
[9:48]
Yeah.
[9:49]
It's me as a Tonton.
[9:50]
You just said Danton.
[9:51]
Yep.
[10:00]
uh... the
[10:01]
is of the dance and revolution
[10:03]
now okay dan you get to steal it appears i believe that is the french
[10:07]
revolution as that is the french revolution you got it dan
[10:10]
nine eighteen thirty two paris uprising which limits is about and that is about
[10:14]
the real revolution
[10:15]
from the seventeen seventy seventeen eighties
[10:18]

[10:21]
let's go to stand to turn even they got that one of the battleship the champion
[10:25]
what revolution is that movie about
[10:29]
is
[10:30]
it's
[10:33]
just called the
[10:35]
russian revolution
[10:36]
yes or it's not really about the russian revolution is about an uprising for the
[10:39]
russian revolution but i felt really bad about that that trick i played with
[10:43]
limits are up so i'll let you have a thought that you
[10:46]
uh...
[10:47]
okay appreciate it
[10:50]
okay he said have
[10:51]
how about this
[10:52]
the battle of algeres
[10:57]
uh... is it the
[11:00]
algerian revolution
[11:02]
you know it
[11:03]
that's right
[11:05]
you know you know
[11:07]
you know i i can't out of myself but you know what at the end of the day just
[11:10]
just got trust my body trust and trust in the heart of the cards that you gotta
[11:14]
do it became once you know when i think i guess you call the algerian war but
[11:18]
it's not a revolution when it would it would also be a common okay
[11:21]
uh... so dan this last one in the round before a bonus question
[11:24]
is for you
[11:25]
this movie is called viva zapata
[11:28]
what revolution is that
[11:30]
uh...
[11:33]
is that the mexican revolution you know it all of you guys are doing great this
[11:37]
is not going to do badly i feel smart now
[11:41]
yeah
[11:42]
i know a lot about zapata
[11:45]
yeah
[11:47]
uh... and again just to mention earlier i know that that was a champion is really
[11:50]
about the nineteen oh five naval uprising
[11:52]
but i wanted to give dan a little bit of a leg up we know it's russia so he
[11:55]
said russian revolution okay here's the bonus question
[11:58]
guys
[11:59]
what country does the movie bananas
[12:02]
depict a revolution in
[12:06]
this one is equal to five points so you're going to want to get it right
[12:11]
here's a hint it's not a real country
[12:14]
that's what i was wondering i couldn't remember
[12:18]
uh... i don't know
[12:21]
i don't know
[12:22]
the answer is
[12:24]
even though
[12:25]
it's a very funny movie we don't
[12:27]
have to talk about woody allen anymore is that the answer
[12:30]
the answer is problematic no it is in san marcos that's the name of the
[12:33]
revolution right
[12:36]
dan before we get into round three why don't we take a moment
[12:40]
to uh... have a revolution in
[12:43]
sponsors
[12:44]
round up some sponsors because we're not talking about revolutions anymore after
[12:48]
the break but now we're going to have a uh... a sponsor break before we get to
[12:52]
round three in this perhaps the least thought through series of games
[12:57]

[20:05]
It's called Ono, Ross, and Carey.
[20:06]
They can find it at MaximumFun.org.
[20:08]
I could have told you that.
[20:10]
I've got some bad news for you, Dan.
[20:12]
I talked to the judges during the ad break,
[20:15]
and they felt I was being a little too lenient
[20:16]
giving you that point for Battleship Pachinko.
[20:18]
I think that's fair.
[20:19]
So they said they will give you an alternate question
[20:24]
if you'd like to take it.
[20:27]
Okay? Sure.
[20:29]
The movie Reds.
[20:31]
What revolution is that about?
[20:32]
Reds, directed by Warren Beatty.
[20:37]
Reds?
[20:38]
Yes.
[20:40]
Is that about the Russian Revolution?
[20:42]
Yes, that is about the Russian Revolution.
[20:43]
You did it, Dan.
[20:44]
You got it.
[20:45]
Oh, sorry about that, everybody.
[20:47]
I know that there was some Revolution fans out there
[20:48]
who were like, that's outrageous.
[20:50]
And the judges agreed with you.
[20:51]
Okay, we're done talking about revolutions.
[20:54]
Time to talk about what happens after the Revolution.
[20:57]
After the American Revolution, that is.
[20:59]
We have presidents, and it's time for round three.
[21:01]
That's right.
[21:02]
This category is called Real Life Presidents,
[21:04]
R-E-A-L, Real Life Presidents.
[21:07]
And I'm going to-
[21:08]
I love this.
[21:09]
I'm going to name an actor
[21:13]
who played a real life historical president,
[21:15]
and I want you to tell me the movie
[21:18]
that that actor played that president in.
[21:19]
Do you think you can do it?
[21:22]
I could do my best.
[21:24]
Yeah, I don't know.
[21:25]
Probably?
[21:26]
I don't know.
[21:27]
I mean, all we can really hope for is to try.
[21:31]
Yeah, what am I, fucking Cassandra?
[21:32]
I can't see the future.
[21:34]
That's true, he's not.
[21:36]
No, you're not Cassandra.
[21:37]
You're neither of the Cassandras.
[21:38]
And you'd be haunted.
[21:39]
Nor are you Cassandra Tia Carrera's character
[21:41]
from Wayne's World.
[21:44]
Although I also did learn English
[21:47]
from the Police Academy movies, so.
[21:50]
Nor are we those weirdos who live in the water
[21:53]
that make marbles have names written on them,
[21:56]
like in Minority Report.
[21:58]
Yep, that's true.
[21:58]
And you're not, yep, that's true.
[22:00]
You can't see the future in any of those ways.
[22:02]
Okay, any other precogs or things like that
[22:05]
that you want to talk about?
[22:06]
I do want to talk about the fact that
[22:08]
we haven't talked about Max von Sydow on this episode yet.
[22:12]
Then we did on the episode that we recorded before this,
[22:14]
but which will be released after this.
[22:16]
Like a regular Mr. Show, pre-taped Colin Show sketch.
[22:20]
If you are casting the movie Minority Report,
[22:23]
and you're like,
[22:24]
director Steven Spielberg is about to crank out
[22:26]
a modern science fiction masterpiece.
[22:29]
But a key part of the movie involves a twist,
[22:33]
a surprise character.
[22:35]
And you're like, we're going to make people
[22:37]
fall in love with Max von Sydow,
[22:41]
only to have our world torn apart
[22:43]
when we find out that he's the baddie.
[22:45]
Now the thing is, why would you cast Max von Sydow?
[22:49]
My guess is Spielberg has only seen Max von Sydow
[22:52]
in Ingmar Bergman's work,
[22:54]
where he often plays a, if not heroic character,
[22:57]
at least an empathetic or a normal character,
[23:00]
as opposed to the needful things Max von Sydow
[23:02]
that the rest of America is more used to.
[23:04]
Or a strange brew.
[23:05]
Or a strange brew, true, true.
[23:08]
Now my other question is,
[23:10]
you have this system of telling the future to stop crimes.
[23:13]
Why does it have to be engraved on a marble?
[23:15]
Why is that part of the tool?
[23:17]
I don't understand.
[23:18]
You gotta stun on them, dude.
[23:19]
Mm-hmm.
[23:20]
I guess so.
[23:22]
Okay, so in this round, to remind the audience,
[23:24]
which I'm sure has forgotten by now,
[23:25]
I'm going to name an actor who played a real-life president
[23:28]
and you will tell me the title of that movie.
[23:30]
Okay, Stuart.
[23:31]
Oh no, sorry, Dan, the first one is for you.
[23:33]
Dan, the first one's for you.
[23:34]
Okay, that's Anthony Hopkins as John Quincy Adams.
[23:38]
What was that movie?
[23:41]
Is that Amistad?
[23:43]
You're right, that's Amistad,
[23:44]
directed by the same guy who made Minority Report.
[23:46]
Makes you wonder why Max von Sydow
[23:49]
didn't show up as Abraham Lincoln or something.
[23:52]
Well, it's a different period of time.
[23:54]
Oh, now you're a history major.
[23:56]
Now you know all about history.
[23:57]
Before it's, I don't know what French Revolution is,
[23:59]
I don't know what Russian Revolution is,
[24:00]
suddenly you know all about-
[24:01]
Maybe in Amistad, John Quincy Adams gets bonked on the head
[24:04]
by a coconut and he has a vision of the future
[24:06]
and sees Abraham Lincoln.
[24:08]
Very possible.
[24:09]
Okay, the next one.
[24:11]
Stuart, this is for you.
[24:12]
This is Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
[24:16]
What was the name of that movie?
[24:19]
Recent movie.
[24:20]
Relatively recent.
[24:22]
It's not Ghostbusters.
[24:23]
Gets a handjob in a car, I believe.
[24:25]
It's not Ghostbusters.
[24:27]
It's not Zombieland.
[24:31]
It's not Stripes.
[24:34]
No, keep saying them, you'll hit on it eventually.
[24:40]
Fuck, what is that fucking movie?
[24:44]
It's the, what is it?
[24:45]
Is it a...
[24:48]
Fuck, what is that movie?
[24:48]
It's a movie.
[24:49]
He's waving a man around as if it'll come to him.
[24:51]
As if to walk the sense of the movie to him.
[24:55]
Fucking no, I just have some like weird
[24:57]
like George Seurat painting in my head.
[24:59]
I don't fucking remember the name of this.
[25:01]
You're thinking of Sunday in the Park with George,
[25:03]
which is not related to this at all.
[25:07]
Yeah, I don't know.
[25:08]
Just pick a bunch of words and throw them together.
[25:11]
Is it Red Heat?
[25:13]
No, it's not Red Heat.
[25:15]
Okay, maybe my strategy that I gave you is not the best.
[25:18]
Dan, would you like to steal this one?
[25:20]
Is that movie called Hyde Park on Hudson?
[25:23]
Ooh, so close, so close, but it's not.
[25:26]
It's called Hastings on Hudson.
[25:28]
Hastings on Hudson.
[25:29]
Hastings on Hudson?
[25:30]
You know, there is no fucking universe
[25:33]
I would have gotten that right.
[25:36]
Hastings on Hudson.
[25:40]
Dance, okay, that's pretty exciting.
[25:43]
Oh no, it is called Hyde Park on Hudson.
[25:45]
No, no, it is Hyde Park on Hudson.
[25:46]
You were right, Dan.
[25:47]
You were right.
[25:48]
I just remembered it.
[25:49]
Do I get an extra point for stumping the game master?
[25:53]
Nope.
[25:54]
Stumping the quiz master?
[25:55]
I'm gonna throw that to me being tired
[25:57]
and let me check my, actually,
[25:59]
my notebook says Hyde Park on Hudson
[26:01]
and I just got it mixed up when I was typing it.
[26:03]
So Dan, you got that right.
[26:04]
It is Hyde Park on Hudson.
[26:05]
There's a village of Hastings on Hudson in New York.
[26:08]
That's what I was thinking about.
[26:10]
Yeah.
[26:11]
Okay, so it's Hyde Park on Hudson.
[26:12]
Dan, you got it right.
[26:13]
Amazing steal.
[26:14]
Now it's your turn again to get another point.
[26:16]
Okay.
[26:17]
In what movie does Frank Langella play Richard Nixon?
[26:23]
Is that Frost Nixon?
[26:27]
You're right.
[26:28]
Okay, Stu, your turn.
[26:29]
In what movie does Dan Hedaya play Richard Nixon?
[26:32]
God fucking damn it.
[26:36]
Is it Dick?
[26:37]
You're right, it's Dick.
[26:38]
Okay, Dan.
[26:39]
In what movie does Anthony Hopkins play Richard Nixon?
[26:43]
I think that movie's just called Nixon.
[26:45]
You're right.
[26:46]
That's one for you.
[26:47]
Okay, Stu.
[26:48]
In what movie does John Cusack play Richard Nixon?
[26:53]
Fuck, Hot Tub Time Machine.
[26:56]
No, that's not it.
[26:58]
Dan, do you remember?
[27:00]
John Cusack played Richard Nixon in a movie?
[27:03]
Yes, he did.
[27:03]
It was just a big release.
[27:05]
Well, relatively.
[27:06]
Well, I mean, it wasn't so big,
[27:09]
but it was a movie. JFK.
[27:10]
No, it was not.
[27:11]
Nope, that's not it.
[27:13]
Nope, the answer is The Butler.
[27:16]
And I'll give anyone an extra point for each name
[27:19]
if they can tell me what other presidents
[27:20]
were in The Butler and which hilariously miscast actor
[27:23]
played them.
[27:28]
The Ghosts of John T. Candias as Woodrow Wilson.
[27:33]
No, that's a good guess.
[27:34]
No, the answer is Robin Williams
[27:36]
played Dwight Eisenhower, of course.
[27:38]
And do you remember who played Ronald Reagan in that movie?
[27:42]
No.
[27:43]
It was Alan Rickman.
[27:44]
Alan Rickman, of course.
[27:45]
Oh, okay.
[27:47]
The Butler.
[27:48]
Is that the first?
[27:49]
Now I want to see The Butler.
[27:50]
Drag up another villain do his role.
[27:52]
This seems like a cavalcade of strange choices.
[27:57]
Yeah.
[28:00]
So next, who was that offered first to?
[28:03]
Was that offered to Stewart first?
[28:04]
I can't believe I dogged out
[28:07]
the casting director of Minority Report
[28:09]
and then heard about the casting of The Butler.
[28:12]
It just goes to show, Stu.
[28:14]
It just goes to show.
[28:15]
Like, what a fucking wild man was that?
[28:19]
They took the names of all the presidents on index cards
[28:21]
and the names of every actor in Hollywood
[28:23]
and just threw them up into the air
[28:24]
and grabbed them at random.
[28:25]
Okay, Dan, so this one's for you.
[28:27]
Kevin Spacey as Richard Nixon in what movie?
[28:32]
Oh, God, is it, it's the, what's that movie called?
[28:37]
Is it called Elvis Meets Nixon?
[28:43]
Oh, so close, but that's not the name of the movie, Stu.
[28:45]
Do you want to steal this one?
[28:46]
Isn't it just like Elvis and Nixon or some shit?
[28:49]
You got that right.
[28:50]
It's Elvis and Nixon.
[28:52]
And finally, for you, Stewart.
[28:54]
Well, what do they do?
[28:55]
Do they meet each other?
[28:57]
That title tells you nothing.
[28:58]
You're right, do they meet each other?
[29:01]
Are they lovers?
[29:02]
Do they hate each other?
[29:04]
Where's the verb?
[29:05]
It's not a sentence.
[29:06]
Every title has to be a sentence.
[29:08]
Are they going to the beach?
[29:09]
Are they going to Casa Del Mar?
[29:10]
What's going with Elvis and Nixon?
[29:11]
Are they going large?
[29:12]
What's happening?
[29:13]
Are they going to meet Frankenstein?
[29:16]
Elvis and Nixon shouldn't play with dead things.
[29:20]
Elvis and Nixon shoot horses, don't they?
[29:24]
What's it going to be?
[29:27]
What a movie that would be.
[29:29]
Elvis and Nixon just out on the ranch,
[29:32]
plugging in horses.
[29:34]
Elvis and Nixon tell mom the babysitter's dead?
[29:37]
Yeah, Elvis and Nixon in Little China?
[29:39]
What is it?
[29:39]
What's the movie about?
[29:41]
Okay, so, and Stewart, this is the last one for you
[29:44]
before a bonus point, bonus question.
[29:46]
Philip Baker Hall as Richard Nixon,
[29:49]
what movie was that in?
[29:51]
Oh, fuck, Heartache.
[29:55]
You're halfway there.
[30:00]
It was Philip Baker Hall in Heartache, but he was not playing Nixon.
[30:03]
Dan, do you know this one?
[30:04]
That movie's called Secret Honor.
[30:06]
Oh, it is. What a great movie.
[30:08]
Really? Okay.
[30:09]
It's only, it's Philip Baker Hall's, it's, Robert Altman, it's a one-man show.
[30:12]
It's just Philip Baker Hall the whole time. It's so good.
[30:15]
Anyway, so here, so, Stu, Dan's got a little bit of a lead over you,
[30:19]
but there's a bonus one coming up.
[30:20]
Now, both of you can get it, but I'm feeling pretty good for Stu on this one.
[30:23]
This is a bonus question worth a hundred points to whoever gets it.
[30:29]
Wow.
[30:29]
So this wins the game, even though we have another round coming after this, so a hundred points.
[30:34]
Wait, that kind of takes the air out of the last round.
[30:37]
It's like the golden snitch, you know? Anyway, so, so the bonus point for a hundred points.
[30:43]
Can you tell me the movie in which the actor Larry Gates plays Chester A.
[30:46]
Arthur? Larry Gates?
[30:49]
Yes. Plays Chester A.
[30:52]
Arthur. Possibly the only movie in which Chester A.
[30:54]
Arthur is portrayed by an actor.
[30:59]
How many points? A hundred points.
[31:01]
This is worth a hundred points. Is it another Robert Altman movie,
[31:07]
O.C. and Stig's? No, it's an interesting choice.
[31:11]
It is not O.C. and Stig's, a movie I don't believe takes place during the 1880s.
[31:17]
And Stu, what about you? What do you say?
[31:19]
Can you name this movie in which Larry Gates plays Chester A.
[31:22]
Arthur? Just here's a hint. He's not the main character in the movie.
[31:27]
You don't say. He appears in a couple scenes, but he's not in the whole movie.
[31:35]
I don't know. I'm not going to guess. You're going to kick yourself.
[31:38]
You're going to kick yourself. The movie is Cattle King.
[31:41]
That's right. Cattle King from 1963 starring Robert Taylor.
[31:46]
And Robert Loge is in it, too. He plays a character named Johnny Quattro.
[31:50]
Sounds great. So no one got that bonus. No one got that hundred point bonus,
[31:54]
which means the game is still very much alive. There's one round left.
[31:58]
This is round four. Now this round is called Real Life Presidents, R-E-E-L.
[32:03]
Yeah, that's what I was going to ask. That's how it's spelled.
[32:06]
And this is actors who played fictional presidents in movies.
[32:09]
I'm going to name the actor and the president's name.
[32:12]
And you tell me the movie. Originally, I was going to just do it.
[32:14]
Actually, should I just do it with the name of the president character?
[32:17]
No, we're not going to. There's no chance.
[32:21]
I would think about doing that. I thought it was too hard except for one of them.
[32:24]
One of them. I think you could do without it. So, OK.
[32:27]
So this one will start with Stewart. Stewart, you get the first one.
[32:30]
Hell yeah. This is Michael Douglas as President Andrew Shepard.
[32:34]
What's that movie? Michael Douglas. What? An American president?
[32:40]
Oh, oh, would you like to? Would you like to try that again?
[32:43]
American president? No, no. Oh, Dan, Dan, you got to swoop in.
[32:48]
I believe that the definite article, the, is in there, the American president.
[32:54]
He's not just an American president. He is the American president.
[32:58]
How many American presidents do you think are running around at any given point?
[33:01]
Come on, Stu. OK, Dan, you've got this next one. President James Marshall.
[33:05]
We all remember when he had to deal with a real situation when he was played by Harrison Ford.
[33:10]
Harrison Ford as President James Marshall. What's that movie? Air Force One.
[33:15]
That's right. It's Air Force One. OK. Get off my plane.
[33:20]
Should have called it Air Force Fun. Put that on the box.
[33:24]
Yeah, I mean, it's not that fun. Put that shit on the box.
[33:29]
They should have put a box of blood for me. Worst airplane CGI effects I've ever seen,
[33:34]
said Elliot Kalin. When that plane crashes into the ocean at the end,
[33:39]
it looks so terrible. Anyway, like worse than the Transporter 2.
[33:44]
You're right. I haven't seen the Transporter 2. That's a fair point.
[33:47]
You haven't seen the Transporter 2? I mean, too busy watching these.
[33:50]
Arguably the best one. It's great. That's the one where he's got the bomb under the car.
[33:55]
OK, well, wait, you should. Yeah, don't say he's got a bomb under his car.
[33:59]
And the only way he has to get that bomb off the bottom of his car
[34:03]
without leaving the car is he does this fucking cool flip with his car
[34:07]
and it spins upside down and a crane knocks the bomb off.
[34:14]
So he really Mr. Magoozed it, is what you're saying? No, no, it's deliberate.
[34:18]
It's deliberate. There's no like baby's day out situation.
[34:21]
He just happens to drive through a construction site.
[34:24]
There is no moment that the transporter doesn't do something exactly perfectly,
[34:29]
exactly how he wants it. OK, that's fair.
[34:33]
Speaking of transporting, let's transport Stu to the next question.
[34:37]
Yes, please. Kevin Kline as President Bill Mitchell.
[34:44]
Is that Dave? You're right. That's Dave. A lot of people would say,
[34:48]
you mean President Dave Kovac? No, Dave was not the president.
[34:51]
He was standing in for President Bill Mitchell. Anyway, that's the plot of the movie,
[34:54]
Dave. Everyone's like, I want to go meet Dave.
[34:57]
And they were like, that's a different movie. Hold on. You're not allowed.
[35:00]
So, Dan, this is what about President Tom Beck as portrayed by Morgan Freeman?
[35:05]
What's that movie? Is that Deep Impact? You know it.
[35:09]
That's Deep Impact. Stu, this one might be a little difficult.
[35:13]
Actually, it won't be at all. What about Terry Crews as President
[35:16]
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho?
[35:19]
What movie is that? You mean the movie that is more accurate every single day?
[35:26]
That's idiocracy. You're right. That's idiocracy.
[35:29]
You guys are blazing through this round.
[35:32]
Do you think Mike Judge gets any pleasure for being more and more accurate?
[35:37]
I don't think so. No, I think he would be happy to be wrong.
[35:41]
So I remember when that movie came out,
[35:45]
they didn't do well because they didn't really know how to market it.
[35:47]
And I remember someone floating the theory that it's such a visually ugly movie on purpose,
[35:52]
that the studio didn't know how to sell a movie that looks that ugly.
[35:55]
And it's like, come on, that's grasping at straws. That's ridiculous.
[35:58]
He's so mean to Luke Wilson. I don't think that's what he meant.
[36:03]
He looks fine. He was in Hall of Prize.
[36:08]
He's one of the top Wilson brothers. He's a wedding crasher.
[36:12]
The top Wilson brothers are... Wait, that's the other Wilson.
[36:18]
Because I get the Wilsons mixed up. I know there's Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson,
[36:20]
and Wilson from Home Improvement. He's the older brother.
[36:23]
He's always giving advice. There's Wilson Phillips.
[36:25]
There's Wilson the volleyball.
[36:29]
There's Mr. Wilson, their dad, who's always mad at that dentist.
[36:31]
Was Luke Wilson a never-been-kissed or just Home Prize?
[36:36]
I think that was Luke Wilson, a never-been-kissed.
[36:40]
Okay. Wait, which one's never-been-kissed?
[36:42]
That's the Drew Barrymore.
[36:44]
I think that's Michael Vartan that you're thinking of.
[36:48]
Who's Michael Vartan?
[36:50]
Never-been-kissed is the one where she pretends to be in high school, right?
[36:55]
That's Michael Vartan.
[36:57]
Then who's Michael Vartan?
[36:59]
He was sort of an alias.
[37:01]
He was the handler, an alias.
[37:03]
It was Michael Vartan.
[37:05]
I got mixed up because David Arquette is a never-been-kissed.
[37:09]
And he's got kind of an Owen Wilson-y look, or Luke Wilson-y look about him.
[37:14]
Yeah, he's got the vibe.
[37:16]
Let's get back to the game.
[37:18]
Dan's eager to get back to the game because it's his turn.
[37:20]
Dan, President James Sawyer as played by Jamie Foxx.
[37:23]
What movie was that?
[37:25]
Uh...
[37:27]
White House Down.
[37:29]
You're right. It's White House Down.
[37:31]
White House wasn't the only down. Jamie Foxx was getting down.
[37:33]
On every episode of Beat Shazam or whatever.
[37:35]
Okay.
[37:41]
President Jackson Evans as portrayed by Jeff Bridges.
[37:44]
What movie is that?
[37:46]
Jeff Bridges as President Jackson Evans.
[37:48]
And you'll notice that presidential names,
[37:50]
they never sound like real presidential names,
[37:52]
but they do sound like made-up presidential names.
[37:57]
This is a guess, but is it The Contender?
[38:00]
It is The Contender.
[38:02]
Fuck you, Dan!
[38:04]
I fucking nailed it.
[38:06]
You nailed it right, Dan.
[38:08]
Dan, let's see if you'll nail it.
[38:10]
We've got plenty more of these to go through.
[38:12]
Dan, John Travolta as President Jack Stanton.
[38:14]
Yeah, that's Primary Colors.
[38:16]
You got that right, Primary Colors.
[38:18]
Okay, Dan.
[38:20]
Okay, Stu, it's up to you.
[38:22]
Jack Nicholson as President James Dale.
[38:24]
Oh, Mars Attacks?
[38:26]
That's right, it's Mars Attacks.
[38:28]
You know it.
[38:30]
Dan, this is kind of a givey.
[38:32]
This is President Thomas J. Whitmore
[38:34]
as played by one William Pullman.
[38:36]
What movie is that?
[38:38]
Oh, that is, of course, Q Independence Day.
[38:40]
That's right.
[38:42]
And of course, here's Peter Sellers
[38:44]
as President Merkin Muffley.
[38:46]
Okay, that's Dr. Strangelove.
[38:48]
Yes, Dr. Strangelove.
[38:50]
I thought you were about to say
[38:52]
Driving Dr. Strangelove.
[38:54]
Driving Dr. Detroit.
[38:56]
It would have been great.
[38:58]
Every now and then,
[39:00]
this happens to me all the time
[39:02]
where I have the idea in my head
[39:04]
and then I very confidently say
[39:06]
something that sounds like it.
[39:08]
So I wanted you to be like,
[39:10]
Oh, so sorry.
[39:12]
Dan, okay,
[39:14]
as opposed to Merkin Muffley,
[39:16]
who we can all agree is trying his best,
[39:18]
though not particularly good at being President,
[39:20]
here's a bad guy President.
[39:22]
Dan, Gene Hackman as President Alan Richmond.
[39:24]
What movie is this?
[39:26]
Is that Absolute Power?
[39:28]
Yes, that's Absolute Power with Clint Eastwood.
[39:30]
Oh, yeah.
[39:32]
Stu, Donald Pleasance as President John Harker.
[39:34]
Oh, fuck.
[39:36]
Fuck.
[39:38]
You know this one.
[39:40]
I do know this one,
[39:42]
but my brain is...
[39:44]
It's late at night.
[39:46]
I'm drinking too much whiskey right now.
[39:48]
Fuck.
[39:52]
I think I'm off.
[39:54]
I don't know this one.
[39:56]
Dan, do you want to try to steal this one?
[39:58]
I didn't know it first.
[40:00]
and then I realized I was picturing Donald Sutherland and not Donald Pleasance.
[40:05]
Wait, Stewart, were you making that mistake? Were you thinking of Donald Sutherland, a different Donald?
[40:09]
Just the scene from Animal House where you get to see his butt.
[40:13]
Okay.
[40:15]
So I believe that this is Escape from New York.
[40:19]
That's right, it's Escape from New York.
[40:21]
Fuck right. God damn it.
[40:22]
That's right. Okay. And Dan, this next one, I wasn't going to do it, but I'm going to do it now anyway.
[40:27]
Cliff Robertson as President Adam.
[40:31]
President Adam?
[40:32]
Yeah.
[40:35]
President Adam.
[40:38]
I don't know the time machine.
[40:41]
No? Okay. Stewart, what movie am I going to ask about after Escape from New York?
[40:47]
Escape from L.A.?
[40:49]
You know it, Escape from L.A.
[40:50]
Of course.
[40:52]
Okay, that throws off my numbers, but I don't care. Dan, Michael Keaton as President John McKenzie.
[40:57]
Michael Keaton.
[40:59]
That's right, Batman himself.
[41:00]
Played the president. Oh, is this multiplicity?
[41:07]
If I'm a clone, I can campaign in every state at the same time.
[41:10]
Is it called First Daughter?
[41:12]
You're right, it's First Daughter.
[41:13]
Not to be confused with First Knight, which is not about a president, but about King Arthur.
[41:17]
Okay, Stu, Chris Rock as President Mays Gilliam.
[41:21]
Fuck. I should know this.
[41:26]
You shouldn't.
[41:27]
I didn't know it.
[41:29]
There's no reason to know it. Dan, do you feel like you want to steal this one?
[41:32]
Is that head of state?
[41:34]
Oh, Dan, you've got so much junk in your brain.
[41:36]
Yes, that's head of state.
[41:39]
Audrey gets mad at me for all of the stuff that I do not remember that is of value to our life.
[41:47]
But Dan, it's my birthday.
[41:50]
Mays Gilliam.
[41:52]
Sorry, you've got to make room for head of state.
[41:55]
You've got to make room for all of Chris Rock's directorial vehicles.
[42:01]
Okay, so this means that it's Dan's turn again.
[42:05]
Dan Aykroyd as President William Haney.
[42:08]
Dan Aykroyd was the president in something.
[42:12]
Yep.
[42:15]
You know what? I don't know this one.
[42:17]
Stuart, you got it?
[42:18]
Do you have this one, Stuart?
[42:20]
It's my gross point blank.
[42:22]
No, he wasn't the president in that.
[42:27]
Fuck, I have no idea.
[42:29]
Okay, the answer was My Fellow Americans.
[42:31]
My Fellow Americans.
[42:32]
Oh, yes, of course.
[42:33]
Okay, Stu, your turn.
[42:34]
Jack Lemmon as President Russell Kramer.
[42:36]
What movie was that?
[42:38]
No idea.
[42:40]
Okay, that's my – oh, Dan, do you want to guess?
[42:42]
Was that also My Fellow Americans?
[42:44]
Is James Garner coming up?
[42:46]
Dan, it's your turn.
[42:47]
James Garner as President –
[42:49]
Yeah, is that My Fellow Americans?
[42:51]
Yes, that's My Fellow Americans.
[42:52]
Dan, you're so far ahead.
[42:53]
I'm not going to worry about you missing that other one.
[42:55]
Okay, this is two toughy ones.
[42:57]
The presidents in these movies, as far as I can tell, have no names.
[42:59]
They're just the president.
[43:01]
Okay, so that's Stu Henry Fonda as the president.
[43:07]
I don't know.
[43:08]
The Dead Zone?
[43:09]
Nope.
[43:11]
I mean, in that Martin Sheen plays a presidential candidate.
[43:14]
Dan, Henry Fonda as the president?
[43:17]
Fail Safe?
[43:18]
Yes, that's Fail Safe.
[43:19]
And so, Dan, last one for this, the final round.
[43:23]
E.G. Marshall as the president.
[43:27]
I don't know.
[43:30]
On the beach?
[43:31]
Nope.
[43:32]
Okay, Stuart, do you want to take this one?
[43:33]
I'll give you a hint.
[43:34]
E.G. Marshall is asked to do something, maybe demanded to do something,
[43:37]
very unpresidential involving a man named Zod.
[43:40]
Oh, that's Superman II.
[43:43]
That's right, Superman II.
[43:45]
All right, and that just brings us to the end of round four.
[43:48]
That's the final round.
[43:50]
Let me just tally up the scores real quick.
[43:52]
That was a fun last round, Elliot.
[43:54]
The second round's not as fun.
[43:57]
Really?
[43:58]
So you're saying I should have just done that one.
[43:59]
We're getting the feedback right in the middle of the game.
[44:01]
Yeah, I'm just dropping feedback.
[44:03]
Appreciate it.
[44:04]
Appreciate it.
[44:05]
It's a shit sandwich, you know?
[44:06]
Well, it wasn't really a shit sandwich.
[44:09]
But anyway, because where's the final compliment?
[44:13]
It's an open-faced sandwich.
[44:16]
It's an open-faced sandwich criticism.
[44:19]
Well, I'm not surprised you're unhappy with the game because you were blown out of the water by COVID, Dan.
[44:23]
Dan, who's recovering from an illness, handily bested Stuart.
[44:27]
You don't have to rub it in, dude.
[44:30]
What the fuck?
[44:32]
22 points to 12.
[44:34]
Stuart, it really would have turned the game around if you knew that Larry Gates played Chester A. Arthur in the movie Cattle King.
[44:39]
You would have easily walked away with the game with that 100-point bonus.
[44:45]
Dan, pull up Just Watch.
[44:47]
Where's Cattle King play?
[44:49]
Is it on Tubi?
[44:52]
It's on Tubi, isn't it?
[44:54]
It's on Shudder?
[44:56]
That's our game.
[44:57]
I want to remind everybody that revolutions don't just happen in the movies.
[45:01]
All it takes is for you to go out there and stand up for your beliefs and do something good for somebody else.
[45:06]
Don't give up hope because history never ends.
[45:09]
And so there's always a chance for us to turn things around, whether in our own lives or in the life of our respective nations.
[45:16]
For this series of fairly ill-thought-out games, I've been Elliot Kalin, and I'm joined by my regular Flophouse co-hosts.
