Stuart Wellington
[1:49]
to maximum fun uh dot org slash join yeah uh i guess yes now i feel bad uh should we just do this whole
[1:59]
thing over again uh nope jordan just let it ride let's just roll it um so thanks again thank you for
[2:06]
your support um and in honor of that support i have uh i have recently gone on to twitter
[2:12]
and asked are uh the people that follow me and i'm guessing anybody who retweeted me i think that's
[2:19]
how twitter works uh to give us some ideas of topics and turn this into one of those big old letter bags
[2:26]
but this is not a letter bag where we get normal letters no no no these are short electronic letters
[2:31]
so elliot when you sing this letter song that i know you've got prepped make sure that it's like
Elliott Kalan
[2:36]
kind of electronic-y sounding that's exactly what we are on the same page here short electronic letters
[2:42]
they're short electronic letters they're not big letters they're pretty pretty short
[2:52]
pretty pretty short and they're electronic i was going for kind of a thomas dolby craftworks kind
Dan McCoy
[3:01]
of feel with that yeah and i think we found your genre because that was the most musical i think one
Elliott Kalan
[3:07]
of these songs has been yeah to be honest i love electronic sounds love electronic sounding music
[3:12]
there's a reason that uh i'm a big fan of uh sparks's disco inspired album uh number one song in heaven or
[3:19]
just number one in heaven i guess is the album and it's because there's a lot of those electronic beats
Stuart Wellington
[3:22]
in it so there you go uh that song is just about as danceable and as kind of an off-the-wall choice
[3:30]
as any of the songs that would play in the bada bing in an episode of the sopranos where you're like
[3:34]
i guess they're gonna dance in this song hype-raised indeed you're welcome so uh let's so without
Elliott Kalan
[3:43]
further ado boop boop boop boop let's get on to boop boop boop boop those electronic letters yep they're
Stuart Wellington
[3:51]
short so i was asking for topics and or questions for us to uh questions for the peaches that's us
[3:57]
three peaches that's us uh and this first question is from uh from at ed miller 18 if serial mascots
[4:07]
entered a tournament of mortal combat uh this is appropriate because we have in a couple of a couple
[4:13]
of weeks we're going to be talking about mortal combat the movie uh with the prize of this mortal
[4:18]
combat being the continued freedom of their realm i'm guessing whatever realm the serial mascot comes
[4:23]
from uh which serial mascot would likely prevail it's a good question it's a very good question because
Elliott Kalan
[4:30]
there's a lot of i mean you've got a number of monsters that are fighting this you've got a tiger
Dan McCoy
[4:34]
total dark universe energy coming off of them right yeah and all like is this is this one-on-one combat
[4:41]
because you have a a captain a seafaring man with a whole armada at his disposal guys i just realized
Stuart Wellington
[4:48]
i haven't looked did somebody do a drawing of the monster serial mascots like count chocolate and all
[4:54]
them standing serious like in those dark dark universe uh publicity photos probably i mean i have to assume
Elliott Kalan
[5:01]
that's happened i don't know why it wouldn't uh because it's also like for cookie crisp would it
[5:05]
be the police officer the dog or the crook it's a team that would be the company you think it's a tag
Stuart Wellington
[5:11]
team or an all at the same time team yeah i think it's all yeah yeah i mean you're getting yeah you're
[5:16]
getting all of them i think when you pick cookie crisp whereas yeah when you have uh what's what's the
[5:21]
fruit loops guy uh toucan sam toucan sam i mean you got uh your sugar bear yeah that's a bear good
Dan McCoy
[5:29]
things coming then but can they fight uh you got the lucky charms leprechaun and we know from the
Elliott Kalan
[5:34]
leprechaun movies that that is not to be sneezed at and the tricks rabbit who of course has been
[5:38]
driven mad by years of having tricks denied him by children by children yeah yeah i think the i i think
Dan McCoy
[5:45]
that for that very reason though we can discount the tricks ragged or i i at least i would discount the
[5:51]
tricks rabbit because uh i just i don't think that he has a let's call it a history of success okay
[5:59]
that's fair like his track record is not his tricks record yeah it's pretty poor what about like uh the
Elliott Kalan
[6:04]
cuckoo for coco puffs bird he's got a big harley queen energy going on yes yeah that's very true
Stuart Wellington
[6:10]
and the i don't mikey likes it from the life commercial i don't know if i'd call that a
[6:16]
serial mascot he's a human being so he already got blown up in vietnam so no no dan that's that's
Elliott Kalan
[6:23]
an urban legend he died when he drank coke with pop rocks in his mouth okay scientific fact it's in
[6:29]
his biography uh i think to answer the question seriously i think and this is going to sound
[6:34]
counterintuitive at first i'm going to say the quaker oats quaker you think at first he's a quaker
[6:39]
he's a man of peace he's taken a vow of pacifism and non-violence yep but it's going to be one of
[6:43]
those stories where when he sees the destruction wrought on his village where this mortal combat
[6:48]
competition is taking place he's going to have to roll up his sleeves reveal those big burly arms
[6:52]
from all the plowing that he does and he's just going to have to he's going to have to break the
[6:56]
most basic rule thou shalt not kill in order to keep his family safe and he's played by mel gibson
[7:01]
maybe liam neeson what if they were together and then they were called liam gibbs names
Dan McCoy
[7:05]
oh man i don't know uh i think i'm gonna go with the leprechaun um i you know he's got magical powers a lot of them have magical powers but you know you got the snap crackle pop elves uh their power just seems to be that they're they're very very small which i think would make them easier to defeat i mean they have the sound they have the power to imitate sounds which you say a superhero wouldn't have but kyle
[7:29]
that's the loan of excalibur that was his power just to mimic sounds i mean black bolt uses sound as a weapon you know elliot i also have the power to imitate sounds i can imitate sounds right now if you want me to yeah give us some sounds give us some sounds well here's one here's a
[7:43]
and then there's like a
[7:47]
i don't like that last one
[7:49]
this is good that's like a horse
[7:52]
yeah and uh
[7:53]
i don't know what that's a sound
[7:56]
is that like cobblestones
[7:58]
i'm just saying anyone can imitate
[8:00]
i don't know if you were imitating sounds so much you were making sounds
Stuart Wellington
[8:03]
and guys i'm gonna i'm gonna have to go with captain crunch because you don't know what horrors he committed to earn all the medals
[8:10]
that's true
Elliott Kalan
[8:11]
oh very true oh yeah he's he's he's an old-time navy man it's all about
[8:15]
burning foreign villages and whipping his own men horrible yeah sending them off to die in in in the arctic you know on ill-fated expeditions that's captain crunch he's seen things and done things he's so he's so bad that they actually
[8:28]
they uh they stripped him of some of the letters in the name captain
[8:31]
just cap and crunch
[8:33]
harsh discipline harsh discipline in the british navy i assume british i don't know where he's from
Stuart Wellington
[8:39]
yeah yeah okay so i think we've all decided um the uh the next step in this uh in this game that we're playing uh is it a game who knows we'll find out um is from uh at rachie ryan
[8:53]
uh rachie suggested we do a little thing uh where dan i went over to a thing called buzzfeed.com and i pulled up a little buzzfeed quiz for you this quiz is for dan alone because the

Stuart Wellington
[13:52]
you've eaten puppy chow and no i'm not talking about dog food
Dan McCoy
[13:58]
no i'm familiar with the confectionary of that name yes
Stuart Wellington
[14:02]
can you describe this for elliot being an easterner and unfamiliar with puppy chow
Dan McCoy
[14:06]
uh it is uh like a cheques based um thing that you might have at like a church bake sale
[14:15]
and it has uh confectioner's sugar and i believe peanut butter
Stuart Wellington
[14:18]
yeah when he says cheques he's talking about the breakfast cereal and not like cheques that you would write money amounts on
Elliott Kalan
[14:24]
no no i figured that it wasn't it i would midwest frugal midwesterners i assumed would not be eating money
[14:28]
sure uh like a like a rich new york tycoon you know
[14:32]
uh dan maybe you've heard i want to talk to you about some of my uh my culture then
[14:36]
have you heard of pizza so it's it's like dough and they put sauce and cheese on it and sometimes other toppings
[14:45]
and it has to be thrown up in the air by a man who is not wearing gloves and you don't know where his hands have been
[14:50]
and he is not allowed to wear a shirt he can only wear an undershirt and then he sticks it in an oven
[14:54]
and then when you ask him if it's ready
[14:56]
that he sticks the undershirt in the oven and when you ask him if the pizza is done he goes
Dan McCoy
[15:00]
hey oh wow now when i get this at a restaurant that has a picture of maybe like a similar looking man
[15:09]
giving me a thumb like a like a statue of him giving me a thumbs up outside of the
Elliott Kalan
[15:14]
that that's either side sometimes it's in the form of a statue and it's always branded on the box because
[15:19]
you also if you get more than one slice it's served in slices or in full pies uh then you get in a box
[15:24]
that also has that picture and he's a sort of sort of idol god that's worshipped by the pizza makers
Stuart Wellington
[15:30]
yeah yeah i yeah i'm familiar yeah and his name is stromboli on a on a similar topic dan you like
[15:37]
ranch dressing i did growing up yes i'm recovering shorts weather is anything above 60 degrees
[15:47]
you know what i've never been one of those guys long pants long as long as i can cargo shorts
[15:53]
fuck that shit i don't need that many pockets says dan you've gone sledding many times i have been
[16:02]
sledding many times let's get these results baby uh you're a true midwesterner 19 out of 24 you were
[16:09]
born and raised in the midwest you've seen many a tractor hung out at stake and shake late at night
[16:14]
maybe even visited wisconsin dells a few times or a lot uh everything true except for the dose but i've
Dan McCoy
[16:23]
seen a lot of commercials for them that's for sure oh wow that was fun guys i'm pretty worn out from
[16:29]
that yeah let's pick out see that was you know finally finally something for our demographics too
[16:35]
you know so guys coastal elites uh this is from stools elite is how we pluralize it yeah so uh this next
Stuart Wellington
[16:45]
question is uh directed at all of us it's not just dan uh this is a question about vampires okay this is
[16:52]
i i actually cut off uh the the question submitters uh they're at but this is from molly in tourist season
[17:00]
gotta love that shit tourist season baby um if you are going to be a vampire what kind of vampire would
[17:07]
you be each piece of vampire media has its own aesthetic and often its own rules foppy and rice vampire
[17:14]
artistic jim jarmusch vampire balls to the walls coppola vampire that's very tempting coppola vampire is
[17:21]
very cool with the big hair and can use a shadow to choke keanu reeves
[17:24]
yeah i mean like the thing is though are you gonna like if it's just like what kind of vampire
Dan McCoy
[17:35]
lifestyle do you want to live like it's different than like what the cool vampire is like i mean my
[17:43]
favorite movie vampire is probably like count orlock and nosferatu but i don't want to be that guy no
[17:48]
that's who you're choosing just a little a little gross no no like no let me be uh like david bowie
[17:54]
in the hunger that would be a fun vampire yeah that's a good vampire prematurely aging falling apart okay
Elliott Kalan
[17:58]
yeah uh i think i would go with hmm it's a toss-up for me between um let's see kind of like uh the
[18:08]
vampires uh in near dark uh because i like the idea of having a vampire family like cool like driver and
Stuart Wellington
[18:14]
they're like punk rock like like uh i don't know like motorcycle gang vampire i mean what bill paxton
Elliott Kalan
[18:21]
is but lance hendrickson is like a real dad yeah you know they're a real family either that or i guess um
[18:27]
uh or nicholas cage vampire because he knows the alphabet and he shouts it that's true now see now
Stuart Wellington
[18:34]
my first inclination is to say like one of the vampires in blade who wear like wilson's leather
[18:41]
jackets and wrap around sunglasses and generally just look like stuntmen they're about to get turned
[18:45]
into ashes by blade real quick uh which when you think about you're like man these guys could live
[18:50]
forever and that's what they like they're just stuntmen whatever um well i got what about
Dan McCoy
[18:57]
another option for me count duckula okay okay vegetarian duckula yeah vegetarian you know i
[19:04]
wouldn't feel bad just you know ate ketchup or whatever and i'm a cartoon duck which is one of
Elliott Kalan
[19:10]
my favorite things i think you could also be a really good bunicula you would be a great bunicula dan
Stuart Wellington
[19:14]
um thank you guys and i would say i feel like laszlo from what we do in the shadows the television
[19:19]
program i mean that's the ideal right jackie daytona human bartender yeah i think so that's a good
[19:25]
point that's a very good point yeah okay so i think we've uh put that uh that question to bed
[19:30]
in a coffin uh so we get a couple of questions uh from listeners about if it bothers us that they
[19:39]
nap or fall asleep while listening to our voices how do you guys feel about that i mean only in so
Dan McCoy
[19:46]
much as like i don't want us to do anything unhealthy like i don't want to like worm our way into people's
Elliott Kalan
[19:54]
brains in a way that's like a manchurian candidate thing yeah i just i mean like i don't want to do
[20:00]
you think we're actually going into people's dreams dan because i don't know i've not been able to
Stuart Wellington
[20:04]
crack that would be fucking great i've always wanted to be able to stretch my arms out super long and i
[20:08]
feel like my only option is to get into somebody's dreams to do that i'm just saying that i don't
Dan McCoy
[20:12]
think anyone's like you can't do that in real life i don't think any scientists have done any
[20:18]
tests any doctors have done any tests on like prolonged sleep exposure to the flop house that's
[20:24]
my only concern you know any ill effects luckily luckily we have an enormous control group in the
[20:30]
form of everyone else in the history of the world yeah that's true no i i you know like i don't know i
[20:37]
i have a few podcasts that i fall asleep listening to it is not an insult to those podcasts um
[20:44]
you know often is you know episodes i've heard before but i find it comforting
[20:49]
and so it is very sweet that anyone might find us comforting yeah i mean sleep is a is a precious
Elliott Kalan
[20:56]
commodity a precious resource in this world in this modern world it's right up there with food and water
[21:00]
and air frankly is good sleep so if we can help you get to it all the better and like dan saying if
[21:06]
someone finds my voice soothing rather than grating that's fantastic go ahead i often read to my wife
[21:13]
and she'll fall asleep and i always take it as a compliment because it means what i my voice is not
Stuart Wellington
[21:17]
attacking her ears like an ice pick and i feel like uh my so when my wife and i uh i think it was
[21:26]
before we got married uh i was a big fan of the uh uh the song of ice and fire books by george r martin
[21:33]
and i wanted i'm like i feel like charlene would like these but i don't think she's gonna actually
[21:38]
sit down and read these fucking things because there's so many and they're long so i came up with
[21:43]
the decision to read them out loud to her and so i started reading them out loud to her before bed
[21:49]
and then we would depending on depending on the day you know we'd get a couple of pages and then she
[21:55]
would pass out and i feel like after a while it just the sound of me reading the book and doing my
[22:01]
tyrian voice and everything that uh that probably hear this tyrian voice now oh no just like my
[22:07]
just like my bare feet you're gonna have to pay for that premium content baby um but uh fair fair
[22:13]
uh and i was pretty i was really proud of my uh sandor clegane voice uh the hound but once again
[22:20]
you got to pay for that um but uh i'm like and then after after doing that for a few and eventually
[22:26]
getting through all the books she then realized that she just really likes books on tape and is like
[22:31]
super into books on tape and listens to those every night before bed instead of listening to me
[22:35]
doing my dumb bullshit but i'm trying to say is that's probably the same thing right and it didn't
Dan McCoy
[22:40]
bother me that what i'm trying to say is now every time i talk to my wife she falls asleep
Stuart Wellington
[22:46]
help it's dangerous when she's driving
[22:48]
okay uh now we have another game guys this is a little game where you guys can earn points and
[22:55]
prizes and by guys i mean you uh you dan and you elliot oh wow this is a game suggested by hey
Elliott Kalan
[23:01]
everybody it's another visit from the game guys the game guys dan and elliot playing games with
[23:09]
game master stewart puttin them through their paces it's the game guys uh-huh yep this is uh
Stuart Wellington
[23:16]
this is uh promotional content paid for by uh spiral from the book of saw uh would you like to play a
[23:22]
little game chris rock we'll find out brought to you by gamestop a stock that should not be worth
[23:28]
very much okay so the way this game works is i'm going to list a fictional character and the first one of
[23:35]
you to uh to name and describe the fictional podcasts that they would create in that world
[23:42]
gets a point so for instance uh the first character i will name is dr alan grant what is the name of his
Elliott Kalan
[23:48]
podcast and what is it about dr alan grant from jurassic park yeah yeah so the name of his podcast is
[23:56]
i used to hate kids too and it's a parenting podcast for people who are always having to take care of
[24:01]
their friends kids because as you know his arc in the movie is he doesn't like kids he also doesn't
[24:06]
really know how a seat belt works by the end of the movie he likes kids and he knows how a seat belt
[24:10]
works that's what it is so maybe his podcast is about seat belts okay and once again what's the name
[24:16]
of that podcast i used to hate kids too hosted by dr alan grant okay uh okay so ellie gets a point
Dan McCoy
[24:23]

[24:31]

[27:12]
danny mccoy that's right danny danny baby boy mccoy what is the podcast made by lloyd dobler
Dan McCoy
[27:20]
that's right john cusack from say anything uh it's called the dobler effect okay

much later on and him uh saying how he uh has learned not to uh wake people up in the middle
[27:45]
of the night with uh boom boxes can i if i can i don't i don't want to take away dan's point i just
[27:50]

Stuart Wellington
[28:03]
uh what was that wasn't it the dobler effect perfect the dobler okay man back on the scoreboard dan i
[28:09]
love this that was a fast one that's a fast one okay guys what is the fictional podcast of luther
[28:14]
strickel i didn't know his last name luther from the mission impossible movies played by ving rames
[28:19]
what's his podcast oh oh god
[28:23]
it's called hey i'm here oh wow okay all right okay interesting and it's about
Dan McCoy
[28:31]
he's made in all those movies you forget that he's in all of them like he's in all of them yeah he's
[28:39]
the guy who just shows up and you're like wait wow i didn't know that there's so much consistency
Elliott Kalan
[28:44]
in these movies but there secretly is every time i watch a mission impossible movie i am always surprised
[28:49]
by that there being continuity from the previous movie now we said all of them is i can't remember
Dan McCoy
[28:55]
is he in two oh yeah that's the i'm looking at i'm looking at the imdb right now yeah uh yeah he's
Stuart Wellington
[29:01]
in all of them that's kind of amazing like i feel like there'd be a section in his podcast where he's
[29:05]
just talking about what his buddy ethan hunt like like little tips about ethan hunt or like things
[29:11]
ethan hunt likes to do or like i bet he gets a lot of questions about ethan hunt and he's like i'm
[29:15]
gonna get him on as a guest one of these days but he's super busy he's hanging off of something right
[29:20]
now or else he'd be in the episode okay and uh let's wrap this up cameron poe from con air what
[29:27]
is cameron proe from con air's podcast
Dan McCoy
[29:30]
uh it's it's called poetry in motion and it's about how to get uh gleaming luxurious uh locks of hair
[29:45]
that will blow in the wind okay interesting i mean my wife watches a lot i'm gonna say a lot of
Stuart Wellington
[29:51]
youtube channels about how to get uh like the perfect curly hair we could go on about the curly girl method
[29:58]
and all that shit and the the various drama involved in those various groups uh so i think there's
[30:04]
actually a pretty big market for poetry and motion dance so that's a that's a good one i think he's
Elliott Kalan
[30:08]
gonna make some money off of that it's amazing the thing i was gonna say was con hair and it was
Stuart Wellington
[30:12]
and it would be his hair podcast yeah nice okay so it looks like dan wins uh elliot can you tell
Elliott Kalan
[30:20]
dan what uh prizes he won this time uh dan here are the prizes that you won uh well you do get
[30:27]
uh the the feeling of knowing that you bested your friend in a in a made-up game that doesn't mean
[30:33]
anything uh and you win judging by your zoom window a selection of boxes a selection of packing and
Stuart Wellington
[30:39]
moving boxes which have not been opened yet yeah elliot uh i hate to burst your bubble but basically
[30:45]
no games matter at all either oh wow and this comes from a dude who plays a lot of games um yeah
[30:51]
that's very nihilistic coming from you so this is actually pretty topical somebody asked us about
[30:55]
the new uh uh about the new venom let there be carnage trailer and that's something we were actually
[31:01]
texting about because you know what saw that trailer kind of liked it it opened with a lot of silly
[31:06]
stuff with that symbiote just slapping shit around and trying to make breakfast or whatever
Elliott Kalan
[31:10]
the idea of the symbiote covering eddie with ketchup because he doesn't know he's a ketchup bottle
Dan McCoy
[31:15]
right hilarious yeah it's now it's an odd couple sitcoms not a fan of woody harrelson's not having
Elliott Kalan
[31:21]
goofy clown hair like he had at the end of the first movie but what are you gonna do you know
Stuart Wellington
[31:25]
yeah it's like when they it's like in the marvel movies when they're like okay wanda maximoff doesn't
[31:30]
need to have the craziest accent or ben uh ben cumberbatch doesn't need to have the craziest new york
[31:36]
accent like fuck that bring that shit back that was exciting i mean i guess it like plays up the idea
[31:41]
of like the marvel movies are generally so they're they're well put together but they are kind of
[31:46]
they're they're kind of evened out in a little way so that like the the sillier shit kind of gets
[31:52]
evened out over time i don't know so that like you get excited when you're like what the fuck is going
[31:57]
on with this accent uh sorry sorry to talk shit about marvel elliot i know you're just no i mean it's it's
Elliott Kalan
[32:04]
fine i enjoy them a lot but there is a certain uh corporate uh corporate sameness gloss to them
[32:10]
you could say although i mean i love that they they watch the first venom movie and obviously
[32:14]
they felt the same way i did that the the best thing in it was tom hardy getting into a tank of
[32:19]
lobsters and just taking a bite out of one of them and they said let's make that the the spirit animal
[32:24]
that lobster they took a bite out of for the second movie double down on that um okay so uh in the past
Stuart Wellington
[32:30]
elliot we've got a lot of coal uh a lot of requests for collabs between me and you on a comic book property
[32:36]
obviously that makes sense and somebody and this is from user at control underscore x is the invisible
[32:44]
maniac in the same universe as maniac of new york
[32:48]
um uh no just for just for listeners out there that i mean just for just for if anyone's wondering
Elliott Kalan
[32:58]
not that i have anything against the invisible maniac i mean he kills a guy with a submarine
Stuart Wellington
[33:01]
sandwich you know and by doing a mario brothers stomp on a guy's head uh yeah but uh but just to
[33:08]
point out that maniac of new york is elliot elliot's comic book that's out right now i think issue
Elliott Kalan
[33:12]
four is dropping tomorrow issue issue four drops the day after record this so when this episode is
[33:17]
released it will be on comic book shelves uh issue four of five uh in the first series uh but in the
[33:23]
maniac of new york there's only one kind of like out of the ordinary supernatural-ish thing and that's
[33:28]
the and that's the maniac of new york maniac harry there's kind of not room for the invisible maniac
Stuart Wellington
[33:33]
i mean maniac new york let me just point out that there's in the invisible maniac movie there's only
[33:39]
one supernatural thing in that too and that's the invisible maniac it's not like there's also magic and
[33:44]
like laser beams and stuff i mean where does where does it take place the invisible maniac science
Dan McCoy
[33:49]
it's not really thank you sort of a match right dan it's it's hard science it's hard science fiction
[33:53]
it's all it's all replicable it's based on real theory it's the expanse i'm intrigued i'm intrigued by
[34:00]
the idea of a maniac averse yeah yeah sure i just like the idea this this this idea that the
Elliott Kalan
[34:06]
invisible maniac is based on science like they like it's based on a stephen baxter novel or something
Dan McCoy
[34:10]
i'm simply saying he does not become invisible through a spell that is placed on him no it's
[34:15]
through a magic potion that he creates yeah he doesn't grab the eye of agamata or something i mean
[34:20]
you're saying it's magical but you know i refer you to arthur c clark and it's just a you know it's
[34:26]
technology that has advanced so far that it appears to be magic to you now elliot so where does the
Elliott Kalan
[34:31]
untrained it's true i'm not a scientist and i am a neanderthal according to 23andme i am like 0.2
[34:37]
neanderthal that's great the part of me that is not ashkenazi jewish is is neanderthal uh but so
[34:43]
explains the body here i mean both sides that comes from both sides really uh the maniac of new york
[34:50]
is in new york if the invisible maniac is happening somewhere in like the heartland dan's beloved
[34:55]
midwest it could be happening the same universe they just never encounter each other you know
[34:59]
true uh i mean for all we for all we know the creature of the black from the black lagoon exists
[35:05]
in the in the marvel and dc universes they just never go there you know i mean i assumed that most
Dan McCoy
[35:11]
i assume that most movies share a universe and that they're set on the planet earth at various points
Stuart Wellington
[35:18]
in human history most movies are yeah yeah okay so i think we uh put that one to bed once again in a
[35:26]
coffin like a vampire uh this next question not a vampire because there's no vampires in maniac of
[35:31]
new york continue this question is maybe if there are science vampires right yeah yeah science if
Elliott Kalan
[35:36]
someone if it's michael morbius the living vampire who drank a serum that turned him into a vampire
[35:41]
yes a science vampire as played by jared leto in the upcoming film morbius yeah can't wait
[35:46]
uh okay so we got a topical it's so amazing to me that that like morbius has been they advertised it
[35:53]
a while ago and like not a lot of talk about morbius but venom everyone's like oh this this new thing and
[35:58]
meanwhile michael morbius is just sitting around going like i'm also tangentially related to the
[36:03]
spider verse yeah we had i have a movie i'm a bad guy there's a trailer out i mean i've been edging
Stuart Wellington
[36:08]
this whole time i mean what are they gonna is it like how we just got the fucking green knight trailer
[36:12]
today and after what a year and a half like when are we gonna get when are we gonna get that fucking
[36:18]
candy man movie i mean kovid kind of got in the way and they weren't releasing movies in the theaters
[36:24]
for a while it's been a year and a half i can't wait to see it yeah that's true that's fair okay so
Elliott Kalan
[36:28]
we got a topical question here i literally thought the other day i was like did that new ghostbusters
[36:33]
movie come out already and i forgot about it it's like oh no they delayed the release which makes sense
Stuart Wellington
[36:37]
but uh same thing happened with uh fast and furious nine but um okay so topical question here in honor
[36:45]
of the new mitchell's versus the machines release a movie i recommend on a recent episode of the podcast
[36:49]
and also features the voice talents a friend of the podcast griffin mcelroy uh what is your favorite
[36:55]
what are your favorite movie robots and what do you think makes a movie robot engaging slash fun to
[37:01]
watch that's a good question from pause amandius well i'll i mean i can only speak for myself but my
Elliott Kalan
[37:07]
favorite movie robots i'll name them starting with three going to two and then going to one number
[37:12]
three ed209 because he's large and in charge and he does not always he does not always have control
[37:18]
of himself i love it number two c3po what makes a good movie robot is when he is cowardly pretty
[37:25]
effeminate and complaining all the time i love it number one gonk droid he's just got look at him he's
[37:31]
just he's so confident he just carries himself in a way that says he's a boss yeah two injuries in star
Dan McCoy
[37:37]
i love it dan you got a favorite movie robot uh you know i i will have a sentimental favorite
[37:44]
yeah pardon me sentiment the sentimental jordan leave all that in please loop it a couple times please
[37:52]
yeah make jordan uh make it into a ringtone and then make that downloadable content uh for for flop house
[38:01]
doner no my sentimental favorite uh might be uh johnny five from the film short circuit uh a film with uh
[38:11]
you know problems chief among them fisher stevens playing an indian man but it is a a very sort of it is a
[38:19]
believably functional robot design that is also very cute um the the eyes obviously very similar to the ones
[38:30]
used later by wall-e um just a good look for a cute robot you gotta like a robot that has eyebrows and
Stuart Wellington
[38:37]
you were and also you were complaining that wall-e at no point joins a street gang like johnny five does
Elliott Kalan
[38:42]
in part yeah the los logos yeah we don't know if wall-e can kick your balls into outer space he does go
Stuart Wellington
[38:48]
into outer space as a kid that was like i watched that movie i'm like i gotta learn that fucking rap i gotta
[38:54]
learn it so bad i gotta be able to recite it because if i can't recite it pitch perfect the other kids are
[38:59]
gonna make fun of me uh i i don't know if it's my favorite but a recent one that i really liked was
[39:04]
the the weird like square robot in interstellar which was like a design that i i think we talked
[39:11]
about this on the show it was a design that like i've never like i've never really seen before like
[39:16]
it felt new which you don't get that very often like it's definitely not like anthropomorphic in any
[39:22]
way yeah and it like and all of a sudden when it started moving and it just like turned into a
[39:27]
wheel kind of thing like oh man that was it was cool it was weird so kind of on the on the other
Elliott Kalan
[39:33]
side of that i'm gonna say i'm gonna give another robot on my list and that's gonna be maria from
[39:37]
metropolis which is very c-3poe looking but also sexy and not as if c-3po is not sexy come on but
Stuart Wellington
[39:45]
anyway but more so and when she has a sorry i'm a print of a boudoir print of c-3poe and when uh
Elliott Kalan
[39:53]
and when when she looks like a person when they put a uh they put overlay her with maria the human
[39:58]
i love the way that that actress oh what's her name i'm forgetting it now uh she really embodies this
[40:03]
kind of like um like sexy evil robot and she kind of half squints one of her eyes but keeps the other
[40:09]
one wide open and and moves her head around in a really crazy way that uh it's just like really
[40:14]
jerky and uh and and geometric and mechanical and i just love that i love that robot both as a robot
[40:20]
and when in human form so maria i have to look up the name of that actress it's really bothering me
Stuart Wellington
[40:24]
that i can't remember it okay kind of along similar lines guys we're going to talk about
[40:30]
who or what is your favorite pop culture ghost but i'm also going to include that i'm thinking of
[40:35]
bridget helm okay that's the actress that's not a ghost right no no no well she is a ghost now she
[40:41]
died in 1996 what is your favorite pop culture ghost i would say for me i mean my i think my
[40:47]
favorite pop culture ghost story is still is probably like the devil's backbone or something the guillermo
[40:52]
del toro movie uh i don't know just because it's like sad and feels like uh it's probably my favorite
[41:00]
one of his movies it's kind of like a perfect little story and it's sad and features some good kid
[41:06]
acting and it's great uh devil's backbone watch it if you get get a chance and there's some good ghost
Dan McCoy
[41:11]
shit in it yeah it's a great movie uh my favorite ghost well i always like the taxi driver and ghost
[41:20]
ghost busters great ghost because it's uh genuinely scary uh uh i like uh i like to casper's uh horse
[41:31]
which i believe is uh named nightmare is that right i don't know that would make sense that would make
[41:36]
sense yeah it would be perfect yeah uh but i i remember growing up as a very uh small child we
[41:43]
would go and visit my maternal uh grandmother and grandfather's house and they had absolutely nothing
[41:49]
uh for kids in it they were very strict methodists but there was one uh dog-eared casper comic that i
[41:57]
would stare at for hours because i i would try to suck all the childhood joy from it to entertain myself
Elliott Kalan
[42:06]
so that that's my memory of casper famous i don't know if this necessarily counts but i think uh in that
[42:12]
one um marvel comic where adam warlock comes back as a ghost made out of flame and turns thanos into a
[42:18]
statue or maybe he's made out of glass or something when thanos tries to steal the cosmic cube what thanos
[42:24]
okay this adam warlock ghost comes back made out of fire and like turns thanos either into either
[42:29]
stone or glass to stop him at the end of a thing and adam warlock being one of my favorite superheroes
[42:33]
if he's a ghost he must be one of my favorite ghosts yeah other other than that i guess you know
[42:38]
me and slimer we share a love of hot dogs so that's true
Stuart Wellington
[42:42]
you know uh that kind of reminds me of that awesome bit from that spider-man comic where
[42:47]
sandman got turned into glass and then doc ock shatters him and you're like oh my god sandman just
[42:51]
died no no no he just came back as glass man and he's gonna fuck you up doc ock yeah he's all made
[42:57]
out of shards of glass at the end of that story that's a mess like oh no he's way worse to deal with
[43:02]
like i know anakin skywalker's like oh thank god i'd rather be glass to death than sanded to death
Dan McCoy
[43:08]
but you know whatever oh you know who's good is is uh clyde from uh pac-man because he's a
[43:14]
non-conformist yeah yeah he's he does his name doesn't follow the pattern pinky pinky blinky stanky
[43:20]
you got clyde over here uh pretty cool i'm gonna mention uh stewart mentioned uh devil's backbone
Elliott Kalan
[43:25]
great ghost movie i'm also gonna put in a plug for the others with nicole kidman oh yeah i think is
Stuart Wellington
[43:30]
also a great ghost movie i feel like that was a movie that was like it was nominated for an academy
Elliott Kalan
[43:34]
award right like it might have been it's this movie that it was it's a real sleeper of a movie when it
[43:40]
can i remember seeing the theaters and being like that was great and then yeah it didn't make much
[43:43]
of an impression but it's its reputation has grown over the years very like turn of the screw yeah
Stuart Wellington
[43:48]
yes very much so yeah uh okay let's uh let's do one more to wrap it up and this is uh this is
[43:56]
going to be related to the podcast over the years we have uh we have invented many characters for the
[44:05]
show the flop house house cat uh seven pounds the villain who perpetrates only seven pound related
[44:11]
crimes um seems dumb when we think about it yeah i mean no dumber than the source material that we
[44:19]
we were riffing off of which which of our flop house characters should appear in the
[44:26]
knives out sequel directed by ronj knives in or forks or spoons out i really i really think it's got to be
Dan McCoy
[44:37]
crawdaddy because like he's the only character that can go up against uh daniel craig accent for accent
Elliott Kalan
[44:45]
oh man i love it and crawdaddy's got a he's got a possible motive because he might have secrets to
[44:50]
hide from his years living in the in the louisiana bayou now that he's reinvented himself as a
Stuart Wellington
[44:56]
connecticut insurance agent i feel like he's pretty free with those secrets though he shares that
Elliott Kalan
[45:01]
information i mean in story people know people know his background but he's involved in shady doings
[45:05]
that i'm sure that those at the local country club wouldn't want to know about you know gator
Stuart Wellington
[45:09]
smuggling or whatnot oh man yeah that's that's i mean seven pounds seems a little on the nose but
[45:14]
crawdaddy oh man that's that's the good stuff that's the sweet stuff and what a what a role what a
[45:19]
meaty role like imagine being able to deliver that script onto the desk of i don't know any actor
[45:25]
uh robert pattinson and be like you get to play crawdaddy and then he jumps up and he clicks his
[45:31]
heels and he punches the sky and he's like i can't wait now do i get to at least read for the role of
Elliott Kalan
[45:36]
crawdaddy i know i'm not going to get it i'm not a big enough name we can at least read for the role
[45:40]
i originated yeah of course you get to read for it i mean i gotta keep you happy
[45:44]
i know between me and robert pattinson you gotta go pattinson i mean he's a batman he's a vampire
[45:52]
from joy light you know he's a cosmopolis you gotta go with him but still yep he's he's a good time
[45:57]
he is a good time he is a good time uh and i was also thinking though that uh noir kid could be a uh
[46:05]
film noir kid could be like a sidekick for uh for the he'd be perfect what's the name of the detective
Dan McCoy
[46:10]
again i completely sure beno beno benoy blanc yeah something like that yeah benoit blanc
Elliott Kalan
[46:17]
mm-hmm oh we did a sidekick oh me and benoit blanc are gonna solve this mystery
Stuart Wellington
[46:22]
i feel like my teeth on edge i feel like the majority of our characters would fall within the
[46:30]

[48:31]

[48:37]
situation uh to have your support both emotionally financially and in many other ways as well you
[48:44]
can still remember join uh or upgrade or boost your membership don't honestly remember the difference
[48:50]
between boosting and upgrading uh you can also uh get a gift membership anonymously for someone on the
[48:56]
max fund waiting list who feels like this year they cannot afford to become a member themselves and
[49:00]
unlock all that sweet boco that's bonus content so if you feel like being a good samaritan that would
[49:05]
be a really wonderful thing to do uh just go to maximumfund.org slash join there's still a little bit of time
[49:11]
you can to get those rewards that come with it and to be entered into our raffle drawings remember
[49:16]
that's 10 uh random upgrading or joining members will be chosen to receive a signed copy of maniac of new york
[49:22]
signed by me 10 will be chosen to get a real original dan mccoy drawing of your choice it does not have to be
[49:29]
pregnant sonic but i know he just loves to he just loves the promise of new life so suggest that you know
Dan McCoy
[49:36]
i would make a plea to you think to yourself like okay this is a podcast i enjoy would i like
[49:42]
a nice piece of art from them that i i would enjoy uh because it's a thing that i actually wanted or would i want to uh indulge this this bit and then have a picture of pregnant sonic in my home a beautiful picture of pregnant sonic that you can frame and hand down to your next generation in the future yeah as part of your or bequeath it to a museum you know maybe the the the the that museum that netflix did the show about that lost all those all those paintings got stolen maybe they need an original dan mccoy
Stuart Wellington
[50:12]
pregnant sonic to replace the rembrandt a sea of galilee you could have you could have dan draw like a lovely caricature of one of your loved ones maybe somebody who's passed but no instead you're gonna get azar's big boy with a giant thrill like veiny dong hanging out of his overalls
Elliott Kalan
[50:28]
uh and that having that so as if you get chosen just be be sensible about what you actually want dan to draw uh probably a sonic with a baby on the way uh so the another thing i wanted to mention this is something that uh was announced a little bit earlier this week uh that uh and we may have reached these levels already but uh john hodgman and i co-host of ipodius a podcast about
[50:51]
ipodius that we made as a result as a reward for reaching a number of uh upgrading or joining members we have a new thing that we are announcing for upgrading or joining members if max fun reaches 25 000 new or upgrading or boosting or whatever members during this drive
[51:08]
we will do a podcast that we're currently calling the taking of podcast 123 what john showed me i claudius before i'm showing him the original taking of pelham 123 my favorite movie i've talked about it many times and we're going to talk about it if we reach 25 000 people we will do a podcast episode about the taking of pelham 123 if we reach 28 000 by the end of the drive 28 000 new and upgrading members we will do a short mini series uh covering the entire taking of pelham 123 universe that is every film of it which there have been three different iterations
[51:38]
the 1974 the 1974 remake the 1974 original the 2008 i believe john travolta denzel washington and the 1998 tv movie with i think it's uh uh it's vincent d'onofrio and uh ever james almost i think uh and we'll also be talking about the original novel uh which i read for the first time during this quarantine so it's very fresh in my mind so that's the taking of podcast 123 if we reach that we do a special episode if we reach 25 000 newer upgrading members and we'll do a whole little mini series
[52:08]
if we reach 28 000 so yeah you got you got your edward james almost vincent d'onofrio donnie walberg richard schiff and lorraine brecco and it was entirely shot i think in canada so it does not look like new york unlike the other two versions i can't wait to see which uh which cast members you're gonna get for that one yeah uh well i don't know that we're gonna well i don't know we could try it anyway uh so there's a lot of good reasons to join but most of all we just want to say thank you uh whether you feel like you can join this year or not we really appreciate it thank
