Stuart Wellington
[0:00] On this episode, we discuss Lumina.
[0:03] Alien.
[0:05] Arrival.
[0:06] E.T.
[0:07] Close encounters of the third kind.
[0:10] Now, Lumina.
[0:14] Right? Did I do it right?
[0:15] Yeah. A lot of gravitas.
Elliott Kalan
[0:17] Yeah, that was great.
[0:18] You really sold the importance of the movie, yeah.
[0:30] Hey, everyone, and welcome to The Flophouse. I'm Dan McCoy.
Stuart Wellington
[0:46] Hey, thanks for welcoming me, Dan. I'm Stuart Wellington.
Elliott Kalan
[0:49] I'm Elliot Kalin, appearing by permission of myself.
Stuart Wellington
[0:51] And we are joined today by a very special guest.
[0:55] This is a close friend of mine, occasional bartending colleague of mine.
[0:59] We have an actor from things like The Gilded Age.
[1:03] And just like that, Black Klansman, Mr. Robot,
[1:07] and, of course, the upcoming The Lost Bus.
[1:11] That's right, Ashley Atkinson. How are you doing, Ashley?
[1:13] Hey, and hello to all my ex-boyfriends
[1:16] who apparently all listen to this fucking podcast.
S3
[1:18] Oh, wow.
[1:19] Ashley, I think you've been nerds.
[1:20] That's our demo, yeah.
[1:22] Definitely, definitely.
[1:23] You dropped my name, I think, on...
[1:25] Name drop, like it's a name to be dropped.
[1:27] You mentioned my name on this podcast, like, a few years ago,
[1:31] I think when Black Klansman came out.
[1:32] Uh-huh.
[1:33] And I heard from so many fucking ex-boyfriends.
Dan McCoy
[1:37] Well, I met you for the first time, like, formally,
[1:41] the other night at karaoke,
[1:43] where you confessed that when I sang
[1:44] She's an Angel by They Might Be Giants,
[1:46] you were singing along up front.
[1:48] So I think that there's a lot of nerdishness to go around.
[1:51] I understand why maybe you attract the sort of people
[1:53] who listen to this podcast.
[1:55] You get what you give, you know?
[1:58] Definitely.
Stuart Wellington
[1:59] Well, thank you so much.
[2:00] I've tried to get Ashley on here,
[2:02] but she has such a busy filming schedule,
[2:04] we finally made it work.
[2:06] Gotta find that bus.
[2:07] And for what a movie.
[2:07] Still lost.
[2:07] What a movie.
S3
[2:08] I'm so thrilled.
[2:10] I had to refrain from making a fart noise
[2:12] when you said that.
[2:13] Just a real...
[2:14] Alex, just add it in.
[2:15] Add it in, Alex.
Elliott Kalan
[2:17] Use your soundboard.
[2:18] Use the soundboard we've bought you for Christmas, Alex.
[2:20] It has all those fart sounds on it.
[2:21] It's all farts.
[2:22] That's all it is, right?
[2:24] Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[2:25] The weird thing is,
[2:26] that version was more expensive
[2:27] than the one that had non-fart sounds.
[2:30] Yeah, well, they know what people want.
[2:31] Yeah, yeah.
[2:32] Yeah.
[2:32] They could put it in the factory.
[2:34] Mm-hmm.
[2:34] Farts.
[2:35] So, Lumina.
[2:37] Lumina.
[2:37] Okay, yeah.
[2:37] So today we're watching...
[2:38] This is the smart...
[2:39] Smart.
[2:40] Whoa, man.
[2:41] Hold on real Dan McCoy over here.
[2:42] Wow.
[2:43] The start of Smallvember.
[2:44] That's right.
[2:45] Dan, what's Small...
[2:46] First off, what do we do on this podcast?
Dan McCoy
[2:48] Order of Operations.
[2:50] First principles.
[2:51] This is a podcast where we watch a movie
[2:53] that's a critical or a commercial flop or both,
[2:56] and then we talk about it.
Stuart Wellington
[2:58] And while normally we punch up,
[3:00] we pick the big dogs and we start a fight.
[3:03] This time, no, no, no.
[3:04] At the risk of my career,
Elliott Kalan
[3:06] as I've found a number of times at this point.
[3:08] Yeah, yeah.
Dan McCoy
[3:08] Yeah, yeah.
[3:09] You're like one of the one people I know
[3:11] who has a job right now.
[3:13] I said risk, Dan.
[3:14] I said risk.
Stuart Wellington
[3:15] Not destruction.
[3:17] Yeah, exactly.
[3:17] But if without this podcast,
[3:19] Elliot would have so many jobs, Dan.
[3:21] If anyone out there who hires
[3:22] wants me to roast them,
Elliott Kalan
[3:24] I'm available.
[3:26] I'm the...
[3:27] I would be the king of Hollywood
[3:28] if not for this podcast
[3:29] causing them to slam their doors in my faces.
[3:32] Yeah.
[3:32] I have more than one face.
[3:33] Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[3:33] I feel like Dan is opening up doors
[3:36] toward weird kinks
[3:37] when he's like,
[3:37] yeah, what?
[3:38] You can pay me to roast you.
[3:41] And I don't actually mean weird.
[3:42] Whatever you're into is fine
[3:43] as long as it doesn't hurt anybody.
[3:45] I'm a couple months away from that.
[3:46] That's fine.
[3:47] Yeah.
[3:47] Don't kink shame, Stuart.
Elliott Kalan
[3:48] Yeah, I'm not kink shame.
[3:49] I would love the idea
[3:49] if Dan was paid to roast people
[3:51] as a kink for them
[3:52] and he had to put sex worker on his taxes
[3:55] to explain what he does.
Stuart Wellington
[3:56] Why?
[3:57] Why would you love that?
[3:58] I mean, I feel like
[3:59] it's a totally normal profession.
[4:00] I think that's actually been
[4:01] an aspiration for Dan McCoy.
[4:02] So we are, as I said,
[4:05] we are punching down this month.
[4:07] That's right.
[4:08] It is Smallvember.
[4:09] That's where we take a look
[4:10] at some small passion projects,
[4:12] independent films.
[4:13] And we rip them up.
[4:15] Yeah.
[4:15] And we, well,
[4:16] we try and find a bright side
[4:17] and we also try to find
[4:18] those hidden gems.
[4:20] That's true.
[4:20] Those, The Rooms,
[4:22] those, what, Birdemic,
[4:24] what's Slow Bullet
[4:25] is Elliot's favorite movie?
[4:26] Yeah, it's my favorite movie.
Dan McCoy
[4:28] Three movies that we've never done
[4:29] on the podcast, by the way.
[4:30] And also two of which
Elliott Kalan
[4:31] were also famous on their own.
[4:33] You know, we did not discover those.
[4:34] Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[4:35] I mean, well, I mean,
[4:37] but we would like to.
[4:38] Those are examples of films
[4:39] that we could elevate
[4:40] to that level.
Elliott Kalan
[4:41] I think maybe we helped
[4:41] to augment the fame
[4:44] of Neil Breen.
[4:45] Let's say that.
[4:46] Maybe we helped to bring
[4:46] Neil Breen to a larger audience.
Stuart Wellington
[4:48] Now, Ashley,
[4:49] do you have much experience
[4:50] with things like Neil Breen
[4:52] or other teeny tiny bad movies
[4:54] that have become cult classics
[4:56] like The Room?
S3
[4:57] Oh, I love The Room.
[4:58] I mean, I watch a lot
[5:00] of teeny tiny movies.
[5:02] I'm also like a little nervous
[5:04] about doing this
[5:05] only because I tend to do
[5:08] a lot of teeny tiny movies
[5:10] and I just know
[5:11] that when I call out somebody
[5:14] on this,
[5:14] I'm going to end up
[5:15] Sure.
[5:16] on a set
[5:17] in like Pittsburgh
[5:18] with them in four years
[5:20] and they're going to be like,
[5:21] ah, yeah.
[5:22] So.
Stuart Wellington
[5:22] I feel like I don't
[5:24] run in those circles,
[5:25] but I feel like for the most part,
[5:26] the people who work in film
[5:29] who listen to our podcast
[5:30] take it in stride
[5:31] and if they don't,
[5:32] then they're probably
[5:33] not the kind of people
[5:34] you'd want to work with.
[5:34] That's fair.
Elliott Kalan
[5:35] I will say I was on an,
[5:36] I don't remember if I told the story
[5:38] on the podcast or not,
[5:38] but I certainly told Dan and Stu,
[5:39] I was on a,
[5:40] I was on an airplane
[5:41] when a,
[5:43] someone recognized me
[5:44] and it turned out
[5:44] it's because they were a producer
[5:45] on one of the movies
[5:46] that we had,
[5:47] we had done.
[5:48] Oh no.
[5:48] But he was very affable about it
[5:50] and very nice about it.
Dan McCoy
[5:52] I also feel like that was a movie,
[5:53] if I'm recalling correctly,
[5:54] one that we,
[5:54] we actually kind of liked.
Elliott Kalan
[5:56] It was one of the movies
[5:57] that Dan admitted made him cry
[5:58] while he was watching it.
[6:00] Brats?
[6:01] Yeah, Brats.
[6:02] Country bears?
Dan McCoy
[6:04] Honestly,
[6:05] I'm a little more scared
[6:05] of this movie
[6:07] because I've heard
[6:07] of some behavior
[6:08] from the director
[6:10] engaging people
[6:13] on the internet
[6:13] about this film.
Elliott Kalan
[6:15] Okay,
[6:16] well that I'm worried about.
[6:17] I'm worried about
[6:18] only because
[6:18] some,
[6:19] I'm only,
[6:20] I'm doing research,
[6:20] I didn't realize
[6:21] when I watched the movie
[6:21] that some big name
[6:23] behind the scenes people
[6:25] or some very accomplished
[6:25] behind the scenes people
[6:26] worked on this movie.
[6:27] But the cinematographer
[6:28] and the editor for this movie
[6:29] are like real people,
[6:30] like real professional people.
[6:32] I mean,
[6:32] they're all real people.
[6:33] No,
[6:34] some of them are,
[6:34] some of them are simulations
[6:36] and holograms.
[6:37] Yeah.
S3
[6:37] They're also litiginous.
[6:39] Did you guys see
Elliott Kalan
[6:40] that there was like
Stuart Wellington
[6:40] a whole ass lawsuit?
[6:42] Oh man,
[6:43] they're going to own
[6:43] the least of the flop house.
Dan McCoy
[6:45] Yeah.
[6:45] I'll get into that briefly
[6:47] when I get,
[6:47] I give some background
[6:48] that I heard from,
Stuart Wellington
[6:50] So I do want to point out
[6:51] that this movie
[6:51] is directed by a guy
[6:53] named Gino McCoy
[6:54] and it looks like
[6:55] most of the producers
[6:55] are his family.
[6:56] Now,
[6:57] I promise not to get mad,
[7:00] but Dan,
[7:01] are you Gino McCoy?
[7:03] Is Dan McCoy
[7:05] and Gino McCoy
[7:06] the same person?
[7:07] Very similar.
[7:07] And were you just
[7:08] tricking us
Dan McCoy
[7:08] to watch your movie?
[7:09] What a clever pseudonym
[7:11] that would be.
[7:12] Well,
[7:12] he does use a K
[7:13] in it.
[7:13] He uses a K
[7:14] to throw people
[7:15] off the scent.
[7:16] It's M-C-K-O-Y.
[7:19] A spelling that I'm like,
[7:20] I get as an accident
[7:22] from people sometimes
[7:23] who are not familiar
[7:23] with the name.
[7:24] And previously,
[7:25] it's always made me
[7:26] kind of annoyed
[7:27] because I'm like,
[7:27] that's not a,
[7:28] like,
[7:28] that's not a spelling
[7:29] of McCoy.
[7:30] Like,
[7:31] that's not one that,
[7:32] and I'm like,
[7:32] oh,
[7:32] well,
[7:33] I guess it exists.
[7:34] I guess it,
Stuart Wellington
[7:35] because I think
[7:36] of probably everybody here,
[7:38] your name is the easiest
[7:40] to spell correctly.
[7:42] Ashley is spelled,
[7:44] I would say,
[7:44] non-traditionally.
[7:45] Oh, yeah.
[7:45] There's a lie at the end.
[7:47] That's all my attention now.
[7:49] Elliot with two T's,
[7:51] Stuart,
[7:52] you know,
[7:52] sometimes people else.
Elliott Kalan
[7:53] Nobody knows
[7:53] how to pronounce her spell.
[7:55] Kalan?
[7:56] Yeah,
[7:56] that's not how you,
[7:57] it's not how it's pronounced.
[7:58] Or colon?
[7:59] Yeah,
[7:59] they don't usually say colon,
[8:00] but they could.
[8:02] There's no law against it.
Stuart Wellington
[8:03] And usually people
[8:04] try and spell Stuart
[8:05] like it's a last name,
[8:06] and I'm like,
[8:07] no, no, no, no, no,
[8:07] I'm not French Stuart.
[8:09] Or French Stuart Wellington,
[8:11] which would be what?
[8:13] You were the baguette.
[8:14] Stuffed in a baguette, yeah.
[8:15] Give us a taste
Elliott Kalan
[8:15] of what French Stuart Wellington
[8:17] would sound like
[8:17] if you were French Stuart Wellington.
Stuart Wellington
[8:18] Oh, oh, oh,
[8:20] je m'appelle French Stuart.
[8:23] Delicious.
[8:25] Mouth-watering.
[8:27] I took French class,
[8:29] and every time I,
[8:30] only for two years,
[8:31] and every time I would start,
[8:32] you know,
[8:33] speaking,
[8:33] I would always go,
[8:34] oh, oh, oh,
[8:35] and they would get mad,
[8:36] and that's why I'd take French one.
[8:36] Immediately deduct 50 points
[8:38] from your grade, yeah.
[8:39] Oh, wow, man,
[8:40] Gryffindor lost that year.
[8:41] You're like,
S3
[8:42] I thought that was part of it.
[8:43] Fuck that shit.
[8:44] Right,
[8:44] I took French in Arkansas,
[8:45] and you got extra points
[8:46] for the oh, oh, oh, oh.
[8:47] That was pretty much
[8:49] the whole of my studies.
Elliott Kalan
[8:51] I took two semesters
[8:51] of German in college,
[8:52] and they always praised my accent,
[8:54] and I was like,
[8:55] well,
[8:55] I just think to myself,
[8:56] how would Peter Lorre say it?
[8:57] And the professor did not like that.
Stuart Wellington
[8:59] But also,
[9:00] like,
[9:00] there's enough,
[9:01] I feel like you have
[9:02] had enough exposure
[9:03] to like Yiddish,
[9:04] and I think Yiddish
[9:04] has some correlation.
Elliott Kalan
[9:06] Similar,
[9:06] but the accent's not quite the same,
[9:09] you know,
[9:09] so there's similar words,
[9:10] but delivered in a more like,
[9:12] huh?
[9:12] Hmm?
[9:13] Like Yiddish is always delivered like,
[9:14] huh?
[9:15] Am I right?
[9:15] Eh?
[9:16] You know what I'm talking about.
[9:17] You know?
[9:17] What do you think about this?
Stuart Wellington
[9:18] Yeah,
[9:18] so there's always eyebrows raised
[9:20] at some point.
[9:20] So,
[9:21] uh,
[9:22] Aliens,
[9:23] guys.
[9:24] Aliens,
Elliott Kalan
[9:25] what a movie.
[9:26] James Cameron takes
[9:27] maybe a perfect movie,
[9:28] Alien,
[9:29] and manages to find
[9:29] a different spin on it
[9:30] that in many ways
[9:32] is just as good.
[9:33] I prefer the first one,
[9:34] but the second one's
[9:35] also a masterpiece.
[9:36] Guys,
[9:36] what do we have to say
[9:36] about Aliens,
[9:37] the movie?
[9:38] Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[9:38] So,
[9:39] Michael Bean,
[9:39] the bean machine,
[9:40] the bean dream,
[9:41] love him.
[9:42] Can't get enough.
[9:42] Bill Paxson,
[9:43] yum,
[9:44] yum,
[9:44] yum.
[9:44] Give me more of that guy.
[9:46] Or IP.
[9:47] Give me a hot glass
[9:47] of bean juice
Elliott Kalan
[9:48] and I thought it was
Stuart Wellington
[9:49] coffee you're asking for,
[9:51] but.
S3
[9:51] Nope,
[9:52] nope,
[9:52] not at all.
[9:54] Nope.
[9:55] It wasn't for me.
[9:56] I don't know.
[9:57] What?
Stuart Wellington
[10:00] Yeah,
[10:00] this is the,
[10:01] that's a joke.
[10:01] We just put Ashley
[10:02] in the hot seat.
[10:05] I feel like that's,
[10:06] that would be a tough one
[10:07] to argue,
[10:08] a tough stance to argue
[10:09] is that Aliens
[10:10] isn't good.
Elliott Kalan
[10:12] Yeah,
[10:12] I think that would,
[10:12] I think that'd be hard.
[10:13] I mean,
[10:13] some,
[10:13] I'm sure there's someone,
[10:14] I mean,
[10:14] Armand White,
[10:15] bring him in.
[10:15] I'm sure he'll make
[10:16] that argument,
[10:17] you know,
[10:17] but I,
[10:18] yeah,
[10:19] it's a hard argument.
[10:19] So,
Dan McCoy
[10:20] I saw a friend make a negative,
[10:21] just gave Aliens three stars
[10:24] on Letterboxd
[10:25] and my eyes.
Elliott Kalan
[10:26] I hope you excommunicated them.
[10:27] No,
[10:28] no,
[10:28] I'm not going to argue
Dan McCoy
[10:29] with someone on the internet,
[10:30] particularly a friend,
[10:31] but my eyes did pop out
[10:33] of my skull a little bit
[10:34] and I had to push it back.
Elliott Kalan
[10:35] pushing back in America.
[10:35] That's how divided America is.
[10:36] Some Americans think
[10:37] that Aliens is a three-star movie.
[10:39] Terrible.
[10:40] How do we reach these people?
[10:41] Yeah,
[10:42] right?
[10:42] Speaking of Aliens,
[10:44] though,
[10:45] Stuart,
[10:45] I think you were going to talk
[10:46] about a movie
[10:46] that has Aliens in it
[10:48] eventually.
[10:49] Oh,
Stuart Wellington
[10:49] right,
[10:50] right.
[10:50] I am talking about
[10:52] Mac and Bean.
Dan McCoy
[10:55] About a man's relationship
[10:57] with mac and cheese.
Stuart Wellington
[10:59] Yeah.
[11:00] No,
[11:01] I'm talking about
[11:01] this week
[11:03] we are reviewing
[11:04] Lumina
[11:04] from 19,
[11:06] 2024.
[11:08] This was a
[11:09] micro-budget movie,
[11:10] I'm assuming,
[11:11] that was written
[11:12] and directed by
[11:13] Gina McCoy.
Elliott Kalan
[11:14] It's either a micro-budget movie
[11:15] or it's one of those movies
[11:16] that somehow
[11:17] has an enormous budget
[11:18] but the money all went to
[11:20] not the movie
[11:21] that would happen.
[11:21] I don't know which.
[11:22] I didn't do any research on it.
[11:23] Well,
Dan McCoy
[11:23] it apparently went to
[11:24] hiring those professionals
[11:25] you talked about
[11:26] because I texted you guys
[11:27] being like,
[11:28] you know,
[11:28] it's not a good movie,
[11:30] the screenplay in particular
[11:31] doesn't work
[11:31] but it looks okay
[11:34] for the money
[11:34] that was spent on it
[11:35] and everything's framed well
[11:38] and looks relatively good
[11:41] for the level of production it is
[11:43] and it cuts together.
[11:45] I'm like,
[11:45] oh,
[11:46] I see.
[11:47] The cinematographer
[11:48] works on
[11:49] Only God Forgives
[11:50] and Eyes Wide Shut
Stuart Wellington
[11:51] and the editor
[11:53] worked on
[11:54] Witness.
[11:54] And the editor
[11:55] is an Academy Award winner.
Elliott Kalan
[11:56] What's his name?
Stuart Wellington
[11:58] Tom something?
[11:59] Tom Noble.
[12:00] Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[12:00] Okay.
[12:01] He edited
[12:02] Thelma and Louise,
[12:03] another movie
[12:04] that spends a lot of time
[12:05] in a desert,
[12:06] you know?
[12:07] Yeah,
[12:07] that's what I heard of.
[12:08] So he was like,
[12:08] ah,
[12:08] I know this landscape.
[12:10] I will say,
[12:11] like,
[12:11] by the end of the movie,
[12:12] I definitely,
[12:13] when it was getting into
[12:14] the finally you're seeing
[12:15] alien things,
[12:15] I was like,
[12:16] okay,
[12:16] this is like
[12:17] a higher level of production
[12:19] than I expected
[12:20] from the first
[12:21] three quarters of the movie,
[12:23] which is mostly
[12:23] them hanging around,
[12:25] you know?
[12:25] Yeah.
S3
[12:26] So that's a real nice house
[12:27] that they're in.
[12:28] Oh,
[12:29] that's great.
Elliott Kalan
[12:30] I'm never impressed
[12:31] by how nice a house
[12:32] is in a movie
[12:33] because there's a lot
[12:33] of nice houses in porn.
[12:35] For sure.
[12:36] Correct.
Elliott Kalan
[12:36] And I don't think
S3
[12:36] that's where the budget
[12:37] is going necessarily.
[12:38] No.
[12:38] Well,
[12:39] apparently the budget
[12:39] somehow also went to,
[12:41] we'll get into it later,
[12:42] I think,
[12:43] but into distribution
[12:45] that then did not pan out,
[12:47] hence the lawsuit.
[12:49] But,
[12:49] you know,
[12:49] I can't tell
[12:50] if this movie is bad
[12:53] or if I just don't
[12:54] understand Los Angeles.
[12:55] Like,
[12:56] I really...
Elliott Kalan
[12:57] Was it the LAPD cop
[12:58] with an English accent
[12:59] that threw you off?
[13:00] Oh,
[13:01] I love that guy.
S3
[13:02] That guy was great.
[13:03] But also,
[13:03] you know,
[13:04] things like,
[13:04] this guy's living
[13:05] in this beautiful house
[13:06] with a pool
[13:06] with a girl
[13:07] whose relationship
[13:08] to him
[13:09] is never defined
[13:10] and you have no idea
[13:12] what either of them
[13:13] do for a living
[13:13] and I was like,
[13:14] is that poor plotting
[13:17] or is that just Los Angeles?
[13:19] I don't know.
[13:19] It sounds like
[13:20] Elliot's cousin,
Stuart Wellington
[13:21] Kato Katelyn.
Elliott Kalan
[13:22] I mean,
[13:23] I think there is a
[13:25] thriving subculture
[13:26] still of L.A.
[13:27] hangers-on
[13:28] who live inside
[13:29] big houses
[13:29] that belong
[13:30] to their friends.
[13:31] But I think
[13:32] it was very funny
[13:32] when someone walks
[13:33] into the main character's house
[13:34] and he goes,
[13:35] whoa,
[13:35] what a house.
[13:36] What do you do?
[13:36] And he goes,
[13:37] don't worry about it.
[13:38] So the screenwriter
[13:39] could not be bothered
[13:40] to think of a job
[13:41] for this main character
[13:42] to have,
[13:42] you know?
S3
[13:43] Right,
[13:44] exposition George
[13:44] who also immediately
[13:46] calls the girl Smokey.
[13:48] And I was like,
[13:49] I'm so glad
[13:49] someone's acknowledging
[13:50] that this girl's
[13:51] whole job is vaping.
[13:52] Yeah,
[13:53] I mean,
[13:53] she's like ripping
Stuart Wellington
[13:54] serious clouds
[13:55] the whole time.
Elliott Kalan
[13:56] But let's talk about it
[13:57] because I also had
[13:57] the same question
[13:58] of I didn't know.
[13:59] It was hard to understand
[14:00] what the relationship
[14:00] was between
[14:01] some of these characters.
[14:02] But Stu,
[14:03] maybe you can illuminate
[14:04] us on that.
[14:04] So you keep talking
Stuart Wellington
[14:04] about characters.
[14:05] Let's look at this
[14:06] rich tapestry
[14:07] of characters.
[14:08] So we have
[14:08] our hero,
[14:10] Alex,
[14:11] or Lex
[14:12] to his friends.
[14:13] He is this
[14:14] like non-specific
[14:16] young rich guy
[14:17] who I believe
[14:18] is mentioned
[14:19] to have a trust fund.
[14:20] He lives in a big
[14:21] LA mansion
[14:22] and he lives with
[14:23] Patricia
[14:24] who is constantly
[14:25] filming things
[14:27] with her phone
[14:27] and vaping.
[14:29] She does not,
[14:30] other than that,
[14:30] have any other
[14:31] real role
[14:33] other than
[14:33] occasionally giving us
[14:34] exposition
[14:35] attention
[14:35] on the other
[14:36] characters.
Elliott Kalan
[14:37] And sometimes
[14:37] judging the other
[14:38] characters too.
[14:38] Judging the characters.
[14:39] And so what are
[14:40] Alex and Patricia's
[14:41] relationship?
[14:43] I don't know.
[14:44] Do you know?
[14:45] Can we write them
[14:47] a letter?
S3
[14:48] I genuinely
[14:48] couldn't tell
[14:49] Patricia's relationship
[14:50] to anyone.
[14:51] Her allegiances
[14:52] seem to shift
[14:53] from moment
[14:54] to moment
[14:55] to moment.
[14:55] Like I'm not sure.
[14:56] Is she friends
[14:57] with Tatiana?
[14:58] Is she friends
[14:59] with Delilah?
[15:00] Also these names.
[15:01] Like no one's
[15:02] named Jen
[15:02] in this universe.
[15:04] Everyone has
[15:06] really ridiculous
[15:07] things.
Stuart Wellington
[15:07] George showed up
[15:08] and I'm like
[15:08] ah nice
[15:09] refreshing.
Dan McCoy
[15:10] Conspiracy George.
[15:12] I originally
[15:12] presumed that she
[15:13] didn't live there
[15:15] but was like
[15:15] in from out of town
[15:16] because there's
[15:17] this party going
[15:18] on later on
[15:19] and like she was
[15:19] just staying there
[15:20] over.
[15:21] But then later on
[15:22] it seemed to be
[15:23] like months
[15:24] later.
[15:25] His beard
[15:26] is still there.
[15:27] The beard
Elliott Kalan
[15:27] shows.
[15:27] When he grows
[15:29] maybe the funniest
[15:32] fake beard
[15:32] I've seen
[15:33] in forever.
[15:34] It lifted my
[15:35] spirits at a time
[15:35] when I needed it.
S3
[15:37] I thought he looked
[15:38] cuter with the beard.
[15:39] I was like
[15:39] oh that works
[15:40] for you.
[15:40] I think it does
[15:41] work for him.
[15:42] He looked a little
[15:42] meathead-y
[15:43] before the beard.
Elliott Kalan
[15:45] Here's my theory
[15:46] which is not
[15:46] borne out by anything
[15:47] in the text.
[15:47] He looked like a
[15:48] Bolshevik.
[15:49] He did look like
[15:50] he should be
[15:51] working with Molotov
[15:53] to undermine
[15:54] the czarist
[15:55] structure.
[15:56] That's why I like him.
[15:59] I think
[16:00] this is my theory.
[16:02] It again is not
[16:02] in the text.
[16:03] It's not that
[16:03] I think Alex,
[16:05] Patricia,
[16:05] and Delilah
[16:06] were college friends
[16:07] and Patricia
[16:10] she's come out
[16:10] to LA
[16:11] to make it
[16:12] in some industry
[16:12] and she's been
[16:13] staying with Alex
[16:14] but she never really
[16:15] hit,
[16:16] it really didn't
[16:16] really take off
[16:17] her career
[16:17] so she's still
[16:18] staying with Alex.
[16:19] Probably like a
Stuart Wellington
[16:20] vape influencer.
[16:21] Yes, exactly.
[16:23] Influencer adjacent
[16:23] definitely.
[16:24] Testing out
[16:25] various flavors.
[16:27] What do people
[16:27] like to vape?
[16:28] I don't know.
Elliott Kalan
[16:30] They really like lead.
[16:32] They really like lead
[16:33] getting into their system
[16:34] from vape.
[16:34] Tatiana is the
[16:36] outsider to that group.
Stuart Wellington
[16:37] You mentioned
[16:38] Delilah and Tatiana.
[16:39] Let's find out
[16:40] who they are.
[16:41] Delilah is
[16:42] Alex's
[16:42] ex-girlfriend
[16:43] who still has
[16:44] feelings for him.
[16:45] She is convinced
[16:46] and no matter
[16:47] what happens
[16:48] throughout the course
[16:48] of the movie
[16:49] her main goal
[16:50] at all times
[16:51] is to get Alex
[16:52] to come back to her
[16:53] even when there's
[16:55] aliens chasing them
[16:56] and she is
[16:57] constantly looking at him
[16:58] the way my wife
[16:59] looks at me
[16:59] when I start
[16:59] explaining my
[17:00] character build
[17:01] in the game
[17:01] Elden Ring
[17:02] where she's
[17:03] very turned on
[17:04] she's very like
[17:04] oh wow
[17:05] you put all your
[17:06] points into strength
[17:08] vigor and stamina
[17:09] how original.
Dan McCoy
[17:10] You and Sherilyn's
[17:11] relationship is so much
[17:12] different than
[17:12] I thought it was.
Stuart Wellington
[17:13] Yeah I know
[17:14] it's behind closed
[17:14] doors you never
[17:15] know.
[17:15] Yeah yeah.
[17:16] And then
[17:17] Patricia introduced
[17:19] her as delusional
[17:20] Delilah.
[17:20] Yep.
[17:21] And then we have
[17:22] Tatiana who's
[17:22] the new girlfriend
[17:23] and the party is
[17:24] being thrown to
[17:25] kind of introduce
[17:25] her to all of
[17:26] Alex's friends
[17:27] and she is
[17:29] blonde and has
[17:30] a history of
[17:30] being abducted
[17:31] by aliens.
Elliott Kalan
[17:32] Which we don't
[17:33] know right away.
[17:34] That is something
[17:34] that is revealed.
[17:35] It's not like
[17:35] she's introducing
[17:36] herself to people
[17:37] with that information.
S3
[17:38] She doesn't seem
[17:39] to introduce
[17:39] herself to
[17:40] anyone.
[17:40] It's a party
[17:41] for her
[17:41] to introduce
[17:43] her yet everyone
[17:44] in that living
[17:44] room knows her
[17:45] name.
[17:45] There's a whole
[17:46] sequence where
[17:46] she's walking
[17:47] and everybody's
[17:47] like Tatiana
[17:48] Tatiana and
[17:49] she's like hey
[17:50] hey yeah I like
[17:51] your dress too.
[17:52] You know.
[17:53] All these women
[17:53] follow the sort
[17:54] of lifetime
[17:55] movie rule of
[17:56] hair you know
[17:57] where it's like
[17:58] new girlfriend
[17:59] like acceptable
[18:00] girlfriend has
[18:01] blonde straight
[18:01] hair.
[18:03] There's the bad
[18:04] ex-girlfriend
[18:05] that's trouble
[18:06] with like the
[18:06] brunette straight
[18:07] bangs.
[18:08] And then of
[18:10] course like the
[18:11] absolutely drop
[18:12] dead gorgeous
[18:12] woman of color
[18:13] who is somehow
[18:14] friend zoned
[18:15] and will never
[18:16] be a romantic
[18:17] prospect for
[18:19] absolutely no
[18:20] reason.
Stuart Wellington
[18:20] They just got to
[18:21] give her a couple
[18:21] of quirks and
[18:22] she'll just hang
[18:23] around.
S3
[18:23] Yeah she's very
[18:24] prop heavy.
Stuart Wellington
[18:25] We also very
[18:26] agree.
[18:27] Well she needs
[18:27] to be because
[18:28] no one's given
[18:28] the personality.
[18:29] She's like an
[18:29] SBU interviewee
[18:30] where they're like
[18:31] hey sir let me
[18:33] introduce this
[18:33] let me interview
[18:34] this male stripper
[18:35] and he's like
[18:35] hanging his little
[18:36] g-strings on the
[18:37] washing line.
S3
[18:38] The bartender
[18:38] like yeah no
[18:39] she came in
[18:40] the other day.
[18:41] It's like dude
[18:42] you can do that
Stuart Wellington
[18:42] later.
[18:43] You don't have to
Dan McCoy
[18:44] do that right now.
[18:45] Any personality
[18:45] that any of the
[18:46] characters is given
[18:46] is based on
[18:47] something external
[18:48] to them whether
[18:49] it be a vape,
[18:50] a beard,
[18:51] an ox cable
[18:52] later on.
Elliott Kalan
[18:54] Oh yeah.
[18:54] Except for George.
[18:55] I feel like George
[18:56] is the one guy
[18:57] with any personality
[18:57] because he's the
[18:58] conspiracy theorist.
[18:59] He's a little bit
[19:00] of a joker.
[19:01] And he also
[19:02] works with children.
[19:03] He volunteers his time.
[19:04] That's true.
[19:04] That was the biggest
[19:05] shocking twist of the movie
[19:08] in a movie that involves
[19:09] secret alien abductions
[19:10] was that when he's like
[19:11] yeah I do a lot of
[19:12] volunteering with children.
Stuart Wellington
[19:13] Okay so George
[19:14] hasn't shown up yet.
[19:15] We have this party
[19:16] where we're just
[19:17] walking around
[19:18] one of those
[19:18] like LA style
[19:20] mansions
[19:20] that you're like
[19:21] am I in
[19:22] like the waiting room
[19:23] for some kind of
[19:24] high end doctor's office?
Elliott Kalan
[19:25] Like is this a hotel
[19:26] hotel that someone
[19:27] is squatting in
[19:28] and they just made
[19:28] at their house?
[19:29] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[19:30] And a lot of music
[19:31] is played
[19:31] and I have to say
[19:32] that there's a song
[19:34] with lyrics
[19:35] about a sensi girl
[19:36] and I was like
[19:37] there's no way
[19:38] that this song
[19:39] is not by the director
[19:40] of this movie.
[19:41] There's no other reason
[19:43] this would be in here
[19:44] and I looked it up
[19:45] and sure enough
[19:45] all the music
[19:46] is by Gene and LeVoy.
[19:47] And what is a sensi girl?
Elliott Kalan
[19:48] Because I didn't know
[19:49] I thought it was
[19:49] like a sensi girl
[19:50] like splinter
[19:51] for the Ninja Turtles
[19:52] like
[19:52] No it means
[19:53] sensitive?
[19:55] It's not like
[19:56] a slang term.
[19:56] Well I thought
Elliott Kalan
[19:56] it was Cincinnati.
[19:59] Because I put
[20:00] the captions on
[20:00] because I thought
[20:01] I was like
[20:01] that's a weird way
[20:02] to pronounce sexy
[20:03] and I looked up
[20:03] and I'm like
[20:04] I put the captions on
[20:04] oh no it's sensi
[20:05] what is this
[20:06] what does this mean?
Dan McCoy
[20:06] S-C-N-S-Y
[20:08] is how it's spelled
[20:09] in the title
[20:10] of the song
[20:11] and on the captions
[20:11] so sensi.
Stuart Wellington
[20:14] Yeah yeah yeah
[20:14] so you just get
[20:15] that feeling
[20:15] and you have to
[20:16] check what the song's about.
[20:17] Okay.
[20:18] So after the party
[20:20] Lex tries to
Elliott Kalan
[20:21] Actually I used Shazam
[20:22] to try to identify
[20:23] the song
[20:23] and my phone exploded.
[20:27] It hung itself.
Stuart Wellington
[20:30] Okay so
[20:31] so at the party
[20:33] we you know
[20:33] the character dynamics
[20:35] get reinforced
[20:36] Delilah tries to
[20:37] make a move on Alex
[20:38] yada yada yada.
[20:39] Afterwards Alex
[20:40] None of them seem
[20:41] to like each other
[20:42] very much.
[20:42] They are friends
Elliott Kalan
[20:43] who don't like each other.
[20:45] She has been
[20:46] has had a
[20:47] an unrequited love
[20:49] for Alex for years.
[20:50] She doesn't really
[20:50] seem to like him
[20:51] very much.
[20:52] He doesn't seem
[20:52] to like her that much.
[20:53] It's a
[20:54] there's not a lot
[20:54] of affection
[20:55] between these friends
[20:56] and so I wonder
[20:56] if this is
[20:57] maybe this alien stuff
[20:58] was just an elaborate
[20:59] way to like
[20:59] end a friendship.
[21:02] Like
[21:02] they couldn't
[21:03] find the words.
Stuart Wellington
[21:05] this has all the vibes
[21:06] of a guy who's like
[21:08] I'm gonna make a movie
[21:09] and I'll put all my
[21:09] friends in it
[21:10] and I don't know
[21:12] you can be the vapor
[21:13] and you can be
[21:14] the ex-girlfriend
[21:15] and yada yada yada.
[21:16] Like
[21:16] it's very thinly drawn
[21:18] without much
[21:19] background.
[21:20] These characters
[21:20] don't have a rich
[21:21] inner life.
[21:22] No.
Dan McCoy
[21:23] Okay.
[21:24] I mean they've got a rich house.
[21:25] Yeah we're still
[21:25] on the first page
[21:26] of notes.
Stuart Wellington
[21:28] So
[21:29] after the
[21:30] after the party
[21:30] Tatiana goes out
[21:32] to the pool
[21:32] to go
[21:33] for a swim
[21:34] and of course
[21:35] this is when
[21:36] we cut to a lady jogger
[21:38] jogging outside the property
[21:39] and then aliens attack.
[21:41] The lady jogger
[21:41] is only shown up briefly
[21:43] just so she can have
[21:44] a single reaction shot
[21:45] to the
[21:45] to the
[21:46] abduction blast
[21:48] or whatever.
[21:48] So I don't know
[21:49] I'm guessing it's
[21:50] again this is another
[21:51] friend of the family
[21:52] who showed up
[21:52] with a
[21:53] you know
[21:53] a high tight ponytail.
[21:55] Okay.
[21:55] So there's a
[21:56] the cops show up
[21:57] was there anything
[21:59] about this sequence
[22:00] that felt normal
[22:01] to you guys?
[22:02] No.
Elliott Kalan
[22:02] Before the
[22:02] before the
[22:03] before the cops show up
[22:04] which did not feel normal
[22:05] I will say that
[22:06] Delilah and
[22:07] there's a moment
[22:08] where Delilah and Patricia
[22:09] are talking to each other
[22:11] and Delilah's like
[22:12] I just want that bitch
[22:13] to disappear
[22:13] about Tatiana
[22:14] and that's when
[22:15] the
[22:16] the light blast
[22:17] abducts
[22:17] or seemingly
[22:18] vaporizes
[22:19] Tatiana.
Dan McCoy
[22:20] You mentioned the jogger
[22:22] but I didn't know
[22:22] whether you actually
[22:23] mentioned the fact
[22:23] that Tatiana
[22:24] like turns into
[22:25] like Avengers
[22:27] in
[22:28] wait which one
[22:30] is the one?
Stuart Wellington
[22:30] Infinity War
[22:31] yeah where they all
[22:31] turn into dust
[22:32] they'll turn into dust
[22:33] yeah she like
[22:34] she Thanos
[22:34] is that
[22:35] right before she's
[22:37] blasted
[22:37] the liquid
[22:39] in the wine glasses
[22:40] starts to like float up
[22:41] in a pretty cool
[22:42] special effect
[22:43] that was actually
[22:44] I liked it a lot
Dan McCoy
[22:45] I liked the image
[22:46] you know the CGI
[22:47] obviously was not
[22:48] very good
[22:49] but the image
[22:49] in and of itself
[22:50] it's also
Elliott Kalan
[22:51] it's one
[22:51] it's a
[22:52] something that happens
[22:53] in movies a lot
[22:54] that I always find
[22:54] very funny
[22:55] where
[22:55] it's the Jurassic Park
[22:58] kind of like
[22:59] water droplet
[23:00] when a T-Rex
[23:00] is coming thing
[23:01] where you see
[23:02] a little thing
[23:03] react to a huge force
[23:04] but big things
[23:06] are not reacting
[23:07] to it
[23:07] so it's like
[23:08] oh it has the power
[23:09] to pull up this wine
[23:10] but nothing else
[23:11] oh no a person
[23:12] okay I got it
[23:12] the same way
[23:13] how in Jurassic Park
[23:14] the T-Rex
[23:15] it shakes water
[23:16] that's how
[23:17] that's how
[23:17] big his steps are
[23:19] but at the end
[23:19] he's able to tiptoe in
[23:20] and surprise them
[23:21] and eat a raptor
[23:22] he's so sneaky
S3
[23:23] yeah exactly
Elliott Kalan
[23:25] his tennis
[23:26] yeah
[23:27] yeah he's on his
[23:27] tippy tippy toes
S3
[23:28] I mean
[23:29] I just really liked
[23:30] that you knew
[23:31] that something
[23:32] was gonna happen
[23:33] because those women
[23:33] were seated
[23:34] on that couch
[23:35] in a way that
[23:35] women have never
[23:36] spoken to each other
[23:37] in their entire lives
[23:38] it's like so
[23:39] it's a very
[23:40] gendered way
[23:41] of sitting
[23:42] where it's like
[23:42] I was always told
[23:44] as a young woman
[23:45] I was told
[23:46] if you want to
[23:46] speak to a man
[23:47] you should sit
[23:49] next to him
[23:49] but face something
[23:50] else
[23:51] instead of facing
[23:52] another person
[23:53] instead of facing
[23:54] them head on
[23:55] because that's how
[23:56] women talk to each other
[23:57] is looking at each other
[23:58] yeah men I guess
[23:59] you have to sit
[24:00] at a baseball game
[24:01] and like look out
[24:02] at the field
[24:03] and then you can
[24:04] have a heart to heart
[24:05] talk
[24:05] cars are good
[24:07] these are all things
[24:08] I was told
[24:08] get a real taste
[24:09] of that profile
[24:10] but they are
[24:12] sort of sitting there
[24:12] and Tatiana is framed
[24:14] in between them
[24:15] in a very
[24:16] Bo Derek
[24:17] sort of moment
[24:18] going into that pool
[24:19] you know
[24:19] and I was like
[24:20] well
[24:20] that's nice
[24:21] it is
Elliott Kalan
[24:23] I never thought about
[24:24] you're right
[24:24] when I have a heart to heart
[24:25] talk with somebody
[24:26] I do take them
[24:26] to a natural history museum
[24:28] or somewhere else
[24:28] where there's a diorama
[24:29] we can both look at
[24:30] at the same time
[24:31] sure
Stuart Wellington
[24:31] a planetarium
[24:32] I'm a walk and talk guy
[24:34] so I find an office
[24:35] somewhere
[24:35] and we walk down
[24:36] hallways
[24:36] I give some
[24:38] rapid fire delivery
[24:38] that is like
[24:40] kind of funny
[24:41] but not super
[24:42] laugh out loud funny
[24:43] and sometimes
[24:44] you'll take
Elliott Kalan
[24:44] one piece of information
[24:45] and cut it between
[24:46] split it between
[24:47] three different people
[24:48] so it sounds like dialogue
[24:49] even though it's just
[24:49] exposition about how
[24:50] the legislative process works
[24:52] yeah
[24:52] it's really great
Stuart Wellington
[24:53] I'm pretty talented
[24:54] so
[24:55] okay
[24:55] so again
[24:56] the windows get
[24:57] blasted open
[24:58] Tatiana disappears
[24:59] there seems to be
[25:00] like a puddle
[25:02] of smoking lava
[25:03] or something
[25:04] I can't tell
[25:05] what's going on
[25:06] but there
[25:07] obviously
[25:07] everybody's freaked out
[25:09] Alex is running around
[25:09] yelling where Tatiana
[25:10] like where is Tatiana
[25:12] the police show up
[25:12] of course
[25:13] this is where we have
[25:13] the introduction of
[25:14] I think all of our
[25:15] favorite character
[25:16] that's right
[25:16] the cop with the
[25:17] English accent
[25:17] in Los Angeles
Elliott Kalan
[25:18] this was the moment
[25:20] and a couple of
[25:21] characters in this movie
[25:21] have English accents
[25:22] or Tatiana does
[25:23] and does Delilah also
[25:25] I'm trying to remember
[25:25] I think she does
[25:26] right
[25:26] but this was the moment
[25:27] where I was like
[25:28] wait a minute
[25:28] I thought this was
[25:29] taking place in LA
[25:30] they talked a lot
[25:32] about LA
[25:32] but this police officer
[25:33] clearly has an English accent
[25:35] and I have never encountered
[25:36] an English accented
[25:37] LAPD officer
[25:38] rarely does someone
[25:39] come from another
[25:41] like another
[25:42] European country
[25:44] and then become
[25:44] an LAPD officer
[25:45] like it's just not a
[25:46] it's not a thing
[25:46] I've encountered
[25:47] but so really
[25:48] and also his attitude
[25:50] is very funny
[25:50] he's so quick to like
[25:51] either it's somewhere
[25:53] between hostility
[25:54] and not caring
[25:55] which I think
[25:56] is accurate
[25:57] for an LAPD officer
[25:58] in a lot of ways
[25:59] but yeah
Stuart Wellington
[25:59] so shortly
[26:01] shortly after
[26:01] we have this introduction
[26:03] to this great character
[26:04] who then disappears
[26:04] from our lives forever
[26:05] unfortunately
Elliott Kalan
[26:06] it reminds me of
[26:08] there was some movie
[26:08] we watched years ago
[26:09] where there was a person
[26:10] I think holding a little dog
[26:11] in the background
[26:12] and we were just like
[26:13] the movie should be about them
Stuart Wellington
[26:14] I think it's right around now
[26:18] that Alex
[26:18] hears the audio
[26:20] of Delilah
[26:21] wishing Tatiana
[26:22] would just disappear
[26:23] and he takes that
[26:25] immediately
[26:26] takes offense to it
[26:27] and he throws her
[26:28] out of his life
[26:29] she's like
[26:29] Lex
[26:30] and he's like
[26:31] never call me that again
[26:32] that's only for friends
[26:34] also super cool
[26:35] that Patricia
[26:35] boomeranged it
S3
[26:37] you know
[26:37] like it's on a loop
[26:39] yeah
Elliott Kalan
[26:40] and she's like
[26:41] I can't seem to turn it off
[26:42] it's like come on
[26:43] you just press the thing
[26:44] that turns off
[26:44] the screen on the phone
[26:46] like come on
[26:46] turn your volume down
[26:48] or whatever
Dan McCoy
[26:48] but he also reacts
[26:50] as if like
[26:51] after what you did
[26:52] and it's like
[26:53] yeah like
[26:54] I understand
[26:55] in this situation
[26:56] you're in
[26:57] like that is very
[26:57] a hurtful thing to hear
[26:59] and you're mad
[27:00] that she said it
[27:00] but she didn't
[27:01] like make the lady disappear
[27:02] and you're acting
[27:04] as if
Elliott Kalan
[27:04] yeah he now blames her
[27:05] if you hadn't
[27:06] wished upon that star
S3
[27:07] when you said that
[27:08] but it's LA
[27:10] you know
[27:11] maybe they believe
[27:11] in just manifestation
[27:12] to that degree
[27:14] that's very possible
[27:15] if this
Stuart Wellington
[27:15] it's like
[27:15] at the party
[27:16] I saw you
[27:17] splitting the wishbone
Elliott Kalan
[27:18] if these characters
[27:21] were really into crystals
[27:22] I feel like
[27:22] the whole movie
[27:23] would make a lot more sense
[27:24] to me
[27:24] all their actions
[27:25] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[27:25] uh huh
[27:26] so uh
[27:27] time passes
[27:29] how do we know
[27:30] time passes Stuart
[27:31] well uh
[27:32] the house
[27:33] remains exactly the same
[27:34] Patricia
[27:35] remains exactly the same
[27:37] living in the house
[27:38] but there's some
[27:39] thing
[27:40] different
[27:40] is it
[27:41] is there something
[27:42] about Alex
[27:43] did he get like
[27:44] a smudge on his face
[27:45] no no no
[27:46] his hair has gotten
[27:47] kind of messed up
[27:48] but his beard
[27:49] has gotten crazy
[27:50] he has this massive beard
[27:52] uh
[27:53] it looks like
[27:53] he is entering
[27:54] a world's biggest
[27:55] beard competition
[27:56] it looks like
Elliott Kalan
[27:57] he is playing
[27:58] Moses
[27:58] in a church play
[28:00] like
[28:01] it's an enormous
[28:02] biblical
[28:02] patriarch fake beard
Dan McCoy
[28:04] it's so funny
[28:05] but like a
[28:05] Grecian formula
[28:06] Moses
[28:07] it's still like
[28:07] very like black
[28:08] oh it's still black
[28:09] very dark
[28:09] oh no
[28:10] this is a young
[28:11] hot Moses
S3
[28:12] yeah for sure
[28:12] yeah
[28:12] yeah it worked
[28:13] for me
[28:14] I was really like
[28:16] now who's this guy
[28:17] also the pool
[28:18] is really maintained
[28:19] for somebody
[28:20] who's been sitting
[28:21] outside at
[28:21] like
[28:22] for six months
[28:23] doing nothing
[28:23] I mean he must have
[28:24] he's got people
[28:25] to do that
[28:27] he just gets
Elliott Kalan
[28:28] Chris Pine
[28:29] from Pool Man
[28:30] to come over
[28:31] and get it
[28:32] you know
[28:32] put into shape
[28:33] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[28:33] he's the best
[28:34] yeah I mean
[28:34] he was
[28:35] that was the story
[28:36] right
[28:36] is that Chris Pine
[28:37] worked as a pool man
[28:38] for years
[28:39] preparing for
[28:40] his directorial debut
[28:41] yeah
[28:41] for 10 years
Elliott Kalan
[28:43] when he wasn't acting
[28:44] he was cleaning pools
[28:45] undercover
[28:45] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[28:46] yeah yeah
[28:46] going to the langurs
[28:47] and cleaning pools
[28:48] so time has passed
Elliott Kalan
[28:50] I will say
[28:51] it is
[28:51] Stuart
[28:51] you're right
[28:52] that like the
[28:53] time has passed
[28:55] you mentioned
[28:55] the house has not changed
[28:56] and when you did
[28:57] it reminded me of
[28:57] the beautiful sequence
[28:59] in Virginia Woolf's
[29:00] To the Lighthouse
[29:01] where
[29:02] she's talking about
[29:03] the house
[29:03] kind of remain
[29:04] being untouched
[29:06] and remaining the same
[29:07] the dust that changes
[29:08] this thing
[29:08] creased a little bit
[29:09] as all these events
[29:10] are happening
[29:10] with the family
[29:11] in parentheticals
[29:12] and you know what
[29:13] maybe that's what
[29:14] they're going for
[29:14] with this scene
[29:15] is that
[29:15] so little has changed
[29:17] around the world
[29:17] about the world
[29:18] they live in
[29:19] except for
[29:20] except for this beard
[29:21] which is the one
[29:22] element of time
[29:23] in an otherwise
[29:24] unchanging world
[29:25] where people are
[29:26] just one small element
[29:27] you know
[29:27] and not necessarily
[29:28] the way that time
[29:29] should be measured
[29:29] by the lives of humans
[29:30] do you think that's
[29:31] what they're trying
[29:31] to get at
Stuart Wellington
[29:32] yeah I think so
[29:33] my favorite part
[29:34] in To the Lighthouse
[29:35] is when they get
[29:35] to that lighthouse
[29:36] and aliens
[29:36] go buck wild
[29:37] on them
[29:38] to quote Virginia Woolf
[29:40] it's all the last
[29:41] ten pages
[29:41] yeah yeah
[29:42] exactly
Elliott Kalan
[29:43] okay so
[29:45] someone's like
[29:46] I fixed to the lighthouse
[29:47] they finally get
[29:48] to the lighthouse
[29:48] and there's aliens there
[29:50] or they get
[29:51] to the lighthouse
[29:52] it's the lighthouse
[29:53] from the movie
[29:53] The Lighthouse
[29:54] and they're like
[29:54] this is a weirder
[29:55] lighthouse than we expected
[29:56] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[29:57] okay so
[29:58] he has gotten
[30:00] Alex has fallen deep
[30:01] into a
[30:02] like a conspiracy hole
[30:04] he has been having
[30:05] these dreams
[30:06] that give him visions
[30:07] dreams of him
[30:08] being abducted
[30:09] or walking through
[30:10] a deep underground
[30:11] military base
[30:12] which is repeatedly
[30:15] referred to
[30:15] in the description
[30:17] of the movie
[30:17] as dumb
[30:18] which I found
[30:19] a very funny choice
[30:20] yeah
Elliott Kalan
[30:21] and what does dumb
[30:23] stand for?
Stuart Wellington
[30:24] deep underground
[30:24] military base
[30:25] yep you got it
Dan McCoy
[30:26] for a movie
[30:28] that like
[30:29] does not
[30:29] seem to have
[30:30] a lot of
[30:31] sort of
[30:32] diegetic
[30:33] sense of humor
[30:34] it's very odd
[30:36] that they made
[30:36] this choice
[30:37] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[30:38] I was like
[30:40] oh is this camp?
[30:41] yeah yeah
[30:41] exactly
[30:42] hard to say
[30:43] the
[30:44] so
[30:44] Alex has
[30:46] like put together
[30:47] a big
[30:47] like a big
[30:49] collage
[30:49] of newspaper clippings
[30:51] and red string
[30:52] and he invites
[30:53] his friend George
[30:54] who is the
[30:55] aforementioned
[30:56] conspiracy nut
[30:57] friend
[30:57] who also
[30:58] is shocked
[30:59] by how
[31:00] nice a house
[31:01] Alex has
[31:02] George comes over
[31:03] and they just
[31:04] kind of hang out
[31:05] on the couch
[31:05] and start looking
[31:06] at articles
[31:07] on the internet
[31:08] of alien abductions
[31:09] like you do
[31:11] I was really shocked
S3
[31:12] by how
[31:13] mod podged
[31:14] and well done
[31:14] well appointed
[31:15] the conspiracy room
[31:17] was
[31:17] you know
[31:18] but he did
[31:19] seem to run
[31:19] out of things
[31:20] the I want to
[31:21] believe poster
[31:21] was on there
[31:22] at least six times
[31:23] it was a lot of
[31:25] it was
[31:25] it was very much
[31:26] not meant
[31:27] to be looked at
Elliott Kalan
[31:28] closely
[31:28] that
[31:29] that evidence
[31:30] board
[31:30] because it was
[31:31] a lot of like
[31:32] just kind of
[31:33] random pages
[31:34] from like the
[31:34] weekly world news
[31:35] and things like that
[31:36] and you know
[31:36] there wasn't
[31:37] there wasn't
[31:37] a sense of
[31:38] oh he's putting
[31:38] together
[31:39] a research story
[31:40] here
[31:41] it was more like
[31:41] we gotta put
[31:42] alien stuff on
[31:42] these walls
[31:43] come on guys
[31:44] we shoot
[31:44] tomorrow morning
Dan McCoy
[31:45] there also is
[31:46] no indication
[31:47] that he's
[31:47] good at this
[31:48] that's true
[31:49] it was very funny
[31:51] to me
[31:52] later on
[31:53] when like
[31:53] he gets into
[31:54] a fist fight
[31:55] I'm like
[31:55] why would this
[31:56] guy like
[31:57] know how to
[31:58] fight
[31:58] like why
Elliott Kalan
[31:59] I mean
[32:00] we know
[32:00] nothing about
[32:00] his background
[32:01] we can fill it
[32:01] in
[32:02] maybe he's
[32:02] former
[32:02] special services
[32:03] secret services
[32:04] yeah
[32:04] it's just one
Dan McCoy
[32:05] of these movies
[32:05] where someone
[32:05] turns into
[32:06] an action hero
[32:07] because the
[32:07] person making
[32:08] the movie
[32:08] has seen
[32:09] movies
[32:09] and it's like
[32:10] yeah
[32:10] and they're
[32:10] gonna fight
[32:11] like that
[32:11] happens
[32:12] choke out
[32:12] this special
S3
[32:13] forces guy
[32:14] in full tactical
[32:14] body
[32:15] armor
[32:15] oh yeah
[32:15] George loses
[32:16] the glasses
[32:17] and the hat
[32:17] and all of a sudden
[32:18] he's
[32:18] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[32:20] we have a
[32:21] Liam Neeson's
[32:21] okay
[32:23] so as I said
[32:24] Alex is spurred on
[32:26] for this conspiracy
[32:27] theory by
[32:28] these dreams
[32:29] he's having
[32:30] we have shots
[32:30] of him writhing
[32:31] in the covers
[32:32] kind of sweaty
[32:33] having these visions
[32:34] where he's walking
[32:35] around a dumb
[32:36] wandering around
[32:38] that's again
[32:39] deep underground
[32:40] military base
[32:40] is this when
[32:42] Patricia goes
[32:42] to wake him up
[32:43] and he starts
[32:43] to choke her
[32:44] Patricia goes
[32:44] to wake him up
[32:45] and he
[32:45] he chokes her
[32:46] and they have
[32:47] let's say
[32:47] a falling out
[32:48] briefly
Elliott Kalan
[32:49] I mean
[32:51] if you're
[32:51] if you're
[32:52] gonna live
[32:52] in someone's
[32:52] house
[32:53] for months
[32:54] and you're
[32:55] not contributing
[32:55] maybe
[32:56] maybe you're
[32:57] asking
[32:57] that's a hot take
[32:58] yeah I actually
Stuart Wellington
[33:00] don't even believe
[33:00] in it
[33:01] I did sort of
[33:03] go
[33:03] your value
[33:03] is based on
[33:04] how much
[33:05] you bring
[33:05] to the table
S3
[33:06] I really liked
[33:07] how they delineated
[33:08] dream Alex
[33:10] from real Alex
[33:10] that was one of the
[33:11] clearest things
[33:12] to me in this film
[33:13] particularly because
[33:15] Alex in bed
[33:16] is screaming
[33:17] and Alex in dream
[33:19] is just sort of
[33:20] chilling
[33:20] walking around
[33:21] this space
Stuart Wellington
[33:21] but they both
[33:22] have crazy beards
[33:23] right
[33:24] yes
[33:24] they both do
S3
[33:25] but one is in
[33:26] blue light
[33:26] and one is in
[33:28] very sort of
[33:29] green
Stuart Wellington
[33:29] for a movie
[33:30] where a character
[33:31] is presented
[33:32] with multiple
[33:33] hairstyles
[33:33] and beard styles
[33:34] it is weird
[33:35] that his
[33:36] he always
[33:36] it's like he always
[33:37] views himself
[33:38] as a man
[33:39] with a big crazy beard
[33:39] yeah
[33:40] even when he doesn't
[33:41] have a beard
Elliott Kalan
[33:41] he carries himself
[33:42] as a bearded man
[33:43] that's what I was
[33:44] gonna say
[33:44] internal beard
[33:45] yeah
[33:45] my guess is that
[33:46] they could probably
[33:47] get a better beard
[33:48] do you think this beard
[33:48] was one of the
[33:49] contributors
[33:50] was one of the
[33:51] producers
[33:51] like it put some
[33:51] funding into the movie
[33:52] and that's why
[33:53] they had to put
[33:54] this beard in
[33:54] it was like a
[33:55] Kickstarter award
Stuart Wellington
[33:56] donate your beard
[33:59] put your beard
[34:01] in the movie
[34:02] okay so
[34:05] do you think
[34:05] and do you think
[34:06] the actor who played
[34:07] Alex was
[34:07] like walking around
[34:09] with that beard
[34:09] for months and months
[34:10] wearing it even
[34:11] when not on camera
[34:12] he's like
[34:12] I just gotta get
[34:13] into the role
[34:14] and his wife's like
[34:15] or her husband
[34:15] is like
[34:16] oh I hate
[34:17] this stupid beard
[34:17] and he's like
[34:18] I think I'm gonna
[34:19] keep it
[34:19] I really hope
S3
[34:21] that actor's gay
[34:22] like for some reason
[34:24] you said that
[34:24] and I just
[34:25] ah
[34:26] maybe like
[34:28] I'm giving him more
[34:28] 20% more
Stuart Wellington
[34:29] we're giving him
[34:30] a rich inner life
[34:31] here unlike the
[34:31] characters in the film
[34:32] so
[34:32] I mean I'm sure
Elliott Kalan
[34:33] the actor probably
[34:34] does have a rich
[34:35] inner life
[34:35] being a human being
[34:36] for sure
Stuart Wellington
[34:37] well I've met
[34:38] some humans
[34:39] without a rich
[34:40] inner life
[34:40] that's true
[34:41] and from what I hear
[34:42] I hear that LA
[34:44] is full of people
[34:45] without rich inner lives
[34:46] oh thanks
[34:47] Aldous Huxley
[34:48] yeah appreciate
[34:48] the take on LA
[34:50] okay so at some point
[34:53] Delilah returns
[34:54] Nathaniel West over here
[34:56] look at him
S3
[34:56] oh wait
[34:57] there's the one shot
[34:58] of the bloody nose
[34:59] though
[34:59] oh yeah
[35:00] which where like
[35:01] all of a sudden
[35:01] there's just
[35:02] a fuck ton of blood
[35:03] on Alex's hands
[35:05] and then
[35:05] next shot
[35:06] gone
[35:07] yeah
[35:08] no explanation
[35:09] no nothing
Stuart Wellington
[35:10] I feel like this movie
[35:11] is filled with moments
[35:12] like that
[35:12] where I kept
[35:13] rewinding things
[35:14] to be like
[35:15] did I fucking miss something
[35:16] was I looking at my phone
[35:17] for a second
[35:18] and the thing is
[35:19] I was looking at my phone
[35:20] for a second
[35:20] but I didn't miss anything
Elliott Kalan
[35:21] but you were looking at your phone
[35:22] to look at the plot summary
[35:23] of Lumina
[35:23] because there were
[35:24] yeah
[35:25] that's what I was doing
[35:26] there are gaps in the movie
[35:28] that maybe they're meant
[35:29] to be the functional equivalent
[35:30] of the lost time blips
[35:32] that alien abductees have
[35:33] where they don't remember something
[35:34] oh
[35:35] so there would be times
[35:35] the characters would refer
[35:37] to something that happened
[35:38] and I'd be like
[35:38] I don't remember that
[35:39] happening in the movie
[35:40] and I think it's because
[35:41] it didn't happen in the movie
[35:42] you know
[35:42] right
[35:43] yeah
[35:43] or it happened in a cut scene
[35:44] or something like that
S3
[35:45] I did appreciate though
[35:47] because when George came in
[35:48] I was like
[35:48] who's this guy
[35:49] I really appreciated
[35:50] Patricia's phone call
[35:51] where she said
[35:52] you know that guy
[35:53] that was at the party
[35:54] who kept talking
[35:55] a bunch of bullshit
[35:56] he's here
[35:57] I was like
[35:58] okay
Stuart Wellington
[35:58] thank you
[35:59] yeah
[35:59] this is an established
[36:00] constant in this world
S3
[36:03] because the rule is
[36:03] you can't expository yourself
[36:05] right
[36:05] you can't have exposition
[36:06] related to yourself
[36:07] hey Alex
Elliott Kalan
[36:07] it's me your friend George
[36:08] I'm into conspiracy stuff
[36:10] I was at your party
[36:10] spouting some bullshit
[36:11] you know
[36:11] exactly
[36:12] feels awkward
[36:13] coming from him
S3
[36:14] exposition George
[36:15] could not take that one
[36:16] but he
[36:16] he serves his time
[36:18] later in the film
Elliott Kalan
[36:19] so
[36:20] this reminds me
[36:20] that's the kind of question
[36:21] a kid asks
[36:22] in Sunday school
[36:23] it's like
[36:24] could exposition George
[36:25] ever deliver exposition
[36:26] about himself
[36:27] on senior
[36:28] no
[36:28] well
[36:29] there's no limits
[36:30] to his power of exposition
[36:31] but you know
[36:32] it's at the same time
[36:33] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[36:34] so around now
[36:37] they all team together
[36:38] and despite their differences
[36:39] they decide
[36:40] we're gonna go
[36:41] try and find Tatiana
[36:43] and get to the bottom
[36:43] of these
[36:44] alien conspiracy theories
[36:46] yeah
[36:47] and I believe
[36:47] their
[36:48] you guys can correct me
[36:49] I believe
[36:49] their first stop
[36:50] is they have to
[36:52] meet a
[36:53] internet acquaintance
[36:55] of George
[36:55] named Tom
[36:56] and apparently
[36:57] pick up some
[36:58] Bakersfield meth
[36:59] I guess
[36:59] yes
[37:00] so they
[37:02] they hop in there
[37:03] do they already have the RV
[37:05] no they buy the RV
[37:06] the RV they buy
Elliott Kalan
[37:06] once they get
[37:07] to Morocco
Dan McCoy
[37:08] and someone makes
[37:08] oh they buy it
[37:10] in Morocco
[37:11] well
[37:11] just cause it's mentioned
[37:12] someone makes a
[37:13] are we going to Wally
[37:14] world joke
[37:15] I'm like that was a
[37:16] that was a
[37:17] station wagon
[37:18] let's get our jokes
Stuart Wellington
[37:20] correct here
[37:21] there is a
[37:21] there is a Wally world
[37:22] in Morocco though
[37:24] so
[37:24] that's why they're asking
[37:25] about it
[37:26] because Wally world
Elliott Kalan
[37:26] Morocco is actually
[37:27] the only one
[37:28] still in operation
[37:28] the only one
[37:29] still in operation
Stuart Wellington
[37:29] yeah
[37:30] so
[37:31] but you're right Dan
[37:32] I also
[37:33] I also bristled
[37:33] yeah it was bad
Elliott Kalan
[37:35] cause there's not a lot
[37:36] of jokes in this movie
[37:37] so it felt very weird
[37:38] for them to suddenly
[37:39] make one
[37:39] to have it be a reference
[37:41] to an older movie
[37:42] and also for that
[37:43] reference to not be
[37:44] accurate to what
[37:45] they're driving
[37:45] it would make more
[37:46] sense for them to make
[37:47] like a Spaceballs
[37:48] reference
[37:48] you know something
[37:49] with a Winnebago
[37:50] or something like that
Dan McCoy
[37:51] or everyone's favorite
[37:51] movie RV
[37:52] you know that big hit
[37:53] RV
[37:53] everyone's favorite
[37:54] yeah
[37:55] give me the
[37:56] give me the top
[37:57] four cast
[37:58] well Robin Williams
[38:00] was in RV
[38:01] okay so he's probably
[38:02] number one
[38:02] and Barry Sonnenfeld
[38:03] directed it
[38:04] not in the cast
[38:05] and we have reached
[38:06] the limits of my RV
[38:08] knowledge
[38:08] okay so
Stuart Wellington
[38:11] that's the poster
[38:12] you don't know a lot
Stuart Wellington
[38:12] considering that's
[38:12] everyone's favorite movie
[38:13] by according to the polls
[38:15] let me guess
[38:15] so I'm just gonna
[38:16] paint a picture
[38:17] of what the poster
[38:17] probably looks like
[38:19] we have the title
[38:20] obviously you gotta
[38:21] have the title
[38:21] of the movie
[38:21] on the poster
[38:22] isn't it like
Dan McCoy
[38:22] the RV like
[38:23] tipping off the side
[38:25] of like a cliff
[38:25] or something
[38:26] it's on like a giant
[38:26] folder or something
[38:27] here I'm gonna look it up
Stuart Wellington
[38:28] yeah yeah
[38:29] it's on a giant
[38:29] he's out
Dan McCoy
[38:30] it's a big headed
Elliott Kalan
[38:32] Robin Williams
[38:32] I'm picturing
[38:33] no no
[38:33] if this was a movie
[38:35] from the 60s
[38:36] and Jack Davis
[38:36] did the poster
[38:37] it's an RV
[38:40] that is balanced
[38:41] precariously
[38:41] on the point
[38:42] of a mountain
Stuart Wellington
[38:43] now wait
[38:44] is this the one
[38:45] where Steve Carell's
[38:46] head is on a plate
[38:47] covered in syrup
[38:48] like it's pancakes
[38:49] Dan in real life
[38:49] I believe
[38:50] oh yeah
[38:51] Dan in real life
[38:52] speaking of Dan's
[38:53] in real life
[38:53] we watched a movie
Elliott Kalan
[38:54] so Dan
[38:55] here's the rest
[38:56] of the cast
[38:56] of RV
[38:56] so there's also
[38:58] Jeff Daniels
[39:00] Cheryl Hines
[39:01] Christian Chenoweth
[39:02] Will Arnett
[39:02] a lot of people
[39:03] in this one
[39:04] wow yeah
[39:04] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[39:05] yeah okay
[39:05] that's five
[39:07] that's five stars
[39:08] okay
Elliott Kalan
[39:08] I will say
[39:09] I've read
[39:09] I think both
[39:10] of Barry Sonnenfeld's
[39:11] memoirs
[39:12] I don't remember
[39:12] him talking about
[39:13] RV particularly
[39:14] in them
Dan McCoy
[39:15] okay
[39:15] what did he say
[39:16] about Nine Lives
[39:17] I don't think
Stuart Wellington
[39:18] he doesn't touch
[39:19] that one either
[39:19] what did he say
[39:21] about
[39:22] what did he say
[39:23] about Joan Cusack
[39:24] in Adam's Family Values
Elliott Kalan
[39:26] he doesn't talk
[39:28] much about
[39:28] Adam's Family Values
[39:29] in the ones I've read
[39:30] maybe I've only read
[39:31] the first one
[39:31] he talks a lot about
[39:32] damn shame
[39:33] throws his copy
[39:34] in the garbage
[39:35] surprisingly a fair amount
[39:36] about Wild Wild West
Stuart Wellington
[39:37] more than you would expect
[39:38] yeah I mean
[39:39] I feel like that
[39:40] probably looms
[39:40] large in his brain
[39:42] okay so
[39:44] speaking of stars
[39:45] this is where we reach
[39:47] star of the
[39:48] silver screen himself
[39:50] Eric Roberts
[39:51] playing the character
[39:52] Tom
[39:53] who is
[39:54] is wearing
[39:55] some kind
[39:55] of hybrid
[39:56] duster thing
[39:57] and a very
[39:58] clean pair
[39:58] of Timbalands
[39:59] and
[40:00] Eric Roberts
[40:01] brought his own
[40:02] wardrobe
[40:03] to the set
Elliott Kalan
[40:03] that's his outfit
[40:04] for sure
Stuart Wellington
[40:05] yeah
[40:05] they actually
[40:06] just pass him
[40:07] on the street
[40:07] and were like
[40:08] hey you want
[40:08] to make a movie
[40:09] get in
[40:09] I'm not doing
[40:11] anything tonight
Dan McCoy
[40:12] sure I'll be in your movie
[40:12] well I've got a movie
[40:14] at 11 that I'm shooting
[40:15] and one
[40:16] I can sneak this in
[40:17] at 3
S3
[40:17] I just finished
[40:19] shooting a movie
[40:19] and I have another one
[40:20] in 3 hours
[40:20] yeah
[40:21] but if I can wear
[40:22] the same outfit
[40:22] and I can make sure
[40:24] that everyone knows
[40:24] that I have lots of sex
[40:26] in the first
[40:26] 45 seconds
[40:28] of my appearance
[40:29] that will do it
Stuart Wellington
[40:31] yeah so he
[40:32] he brings a real
[40:33] intense energy
[40:34] that this movie
[40:35] was honestly lacking
[40:37] yeah
[40:37] and we
[40:38] he shows them
[40:39] his hidden little base
[40:40] that's in a junkyard
[40:41] where he has
[40:43] what fabricated
[40:44] some kind of
[40:44] alien spaceship
[40:45] yes
[40:46] this doesn't really
[40:47] go anywhere
[40:47] and then he
[40:48] he kind of
[40:49] turns on them
[40:50] and starts attacking them
[40:51] and they escape
[40:53] while he
[40:53] fires
[40:54] gunshots
[40:55] at them
[40:56] and it's revealed
[40:57] that he
[40:58] most likely
[40:59] is a human being
[41:00] who has been
[41:01] brainwashed
[41:02] by aliens
[41:03] is that correct
Elliott Kalan
[41:03] and he was like
[41:04] working for the government
[41:05] making a spaceship
[41:06] but then the funding
[41:07] got cut or something
[41:08] but he got to keep
[41:09] the spaceship
[41:09] which does not seem
[41:10] to me the way
[41:11] the government
[41:12] would operate normally
[41:13] I feel like
[41:14] yeah
Dan McCoy
[41:14] I was trying to
[41:15] understand
[41:16] the scene
[41:17] and then
[41:17] that's a mistake
[41:18] yeah well I got to
[41:19] the end of the movie
[41:20] I'm like
[41:20] oh
[41:21] whatever was happening
[41:22] never gets cleared up
[41:25] so it wasn't important
S3
[41:26] but George
[41:28] makes sure
[41:28] that you know
[41:29] that it's reverse
[41:30] engineering
[41:30] that's the one thing
[41:31] that you make sure
[41:32] that you know in it
[41:33] and also I guess
[41:35] so
[41:36] yeah
[41:37] it doesn't really
[41:38] ever get cleared up
[41:39] but there's
[41:39] it's the government
[41:40] not aliens
[41:41] but the government
[41:42] is in cahoots
[41:44] with aliens
[41:44] or the government
Elliott Kalan
[41:45] has been collecting
[41:46] alien stuff
[41:47] because they're like
[41:48] Roswell was just
[41:48] the beginning
[41:49] you know
[41:49] something like that
Stuart Wellington
[41:50] yeah I mean
[41:50] I feel like there's
[41:51] now
[41:52] I think
[41:53] let's pause the movie
[41:55] for a second
[41:55] because I think
[41:56] I think this is
[41:57] an important time
[41:58] for us to talk about
[41:59] alien conspiracy theories
[42:01] and how they're tied
[42:02] in with the government
[42:02] first off
[42:03] do you guys
[42:04] now no judgments here
[42:05] this is a judgment free zone
[42:06] do you guys believe
[42:08] in aliens
[42:08] yes
[42:09] okay
[42:10] like Dan
[42:11] uh
[42:12] first off I like
[42:13] uh
[42:13] your energy
S3
[42:14] look I'm an actor
[42:16] I've got fuck all to lose
[42:17] you know
Dan McCoy
[42:17] I was delaying
[42:20] because I'm like
[42:20] did Dan Aykroyd
[42:21] like
[42:22] like bribe Stuart
[42:24] to bring this topic up
[42:25] or what
[42:25] well
Stuart Wellington
[42:26] I feel like so much
[42:27] of the movie
[42:28] it's built on that idea
[42:29] of
[42:30] like this is
[42:31] like the whole idea
[42:32] of
[42:33] the faith
[42:34] in that aliens exist
[42:35] and also that there is
[42:36] another entity
[42:38] that is keeping aliens
[42:39] from us
[42:40] yeah
[42:40] yeah
Elliott Kalan
[42:40] that there's a cover up
[42:41] involved
[42:42] not just that aliens exist
[42:43] but also that
[42:44] for whatever reason
[42:45] the government
[42:45] is covering up
[42:46] that existence
[42:47] yeah
[42:47] for the average person
Stuart Wellington
[42:48] for instance
[42:49] I can believe
[42:50] and accept the idea
[42:51] that there is
[42:52] alien life out there
[42:53] it is most likely
[42:54] not hyper advanced
[42:56] while also being
[42:57] hyper tough
[42:58] and animalistic
[42:59] well that's
[43:00] that's
[43:00] that's
[43:01] we get to later
Elliott Kalan
[43:02] I have the same issue
[43:02] I have a lot of
[43:03] alien movies
[43:04] where it's like
[43:04] okay so they build
[43:05] spaceships that can travel
[43:07] interstellar distances
[43:08] and they do these
[43:09] science experiments
[43:09] but they don't wear clothes
[43:11] they don't seem to have
[43:12] a language
[43:12] they're just claw monsters
[43:13] with teeth
[43:14] that eat things
[43:15] that just run after people
[43:16] and tear them apart
[43:17] and eat them
[43:18] yes
[43:18] they're also somehow
[43:19] able to build all this stuff
[43:21] and have science
[43:22] you know
S3
[43:22] and also want to fuck with us
[43:23] you know what I mean
[43:24] if you can do all that
[43:25] like
[43:26] so
[43:27] similarly
Dan McCoy
[43:27] I believe
[43:29] like there's probably
[43:30] alien life out
[43:31] in the universe
[43:32] but does it exist
[43:34] in the same
[43:35] can it get to us
[43:36] in the same window
[43:37] of
[43:38] you know
[43:39] galactic time
[43:42] like
[43:42] the age of the universe
[43:44] that we humans
[43:45] are
[43:46] existing in
[43:47] I don't think so
[43:48] probably
Stuart Wellington
[43:49] so the
[43:49] but the thing that I
[43:50] have more trouble
[43:52] accepting
[43:52] is the idea
[43:53] that aliens exist
[43:54] they have attempted
[43:55] contact with humans
[43:56] and that the United States
[43:57] government
[43:58] and I guess
[43:58] the government
[43:59] around the world
[44:00] is very good
[44:01] at kind of
[44:02] hiding that information
[44:03] from us
Elliott Kalan
[44:03] now what is it about
[44:04] because I feel like
[44:05] we live in a period
[44:06] of extreme
[44:07] government competence
[44:08] what is it about
[44:09] the world we live in
[44:11] that would make you think
[44:11] the government
[44:12] wouldn't be able
[44:12] to pull this off
[44:13] you know
Stuart Wellington
[44:14] yeah I don't know
[44:15] I think
[44:15] yeah there's just
[44:16] I just had this feeling
[44:18] that the people in charge
[44:19] I don't know
[44:19] maybe
[44:19] I've just like
[44:20] picked this up
[44:21] over my years
[44:22] of working
[44:22] that like
[44:23] you know
[44:24] I feel like
[44:24] the people in charge
[44:25] actually don't really
[44:26] know fucking anything
Elliott Kalan
[44:27] I think
[44:28] there's a
[44:29] it feels
Stuart Wellington
[44:29] they're all just
[44:30] self-interested weirdos
[44:32] just doing their own thing
[44:33] I think that's a big part of it
Elliott Kalan
[44:33] they're self-interested weirdos
[44:35] also
[44:35] there would be
[44:36] so much
[44:37] like
[44:38] it would need
[44:39] so much cooperation
[44:40] and so much
[44:41] the same way that
[44:41] people are like
[44:42] the government killed
[44:43] John F. Kennedy
[44:44] and it's like
[44:45] pretty unlikely
[44:46] that we wouldn't have
[44:47] heard about it
[44:48] in some form
[44:49] up to this point
[44:49] like
[44:50] there's a
[44:51] it's very
[44:52] that people are like
[44:53] yeah I'm going to
[44:53] take this secret
[44:54] with me
[44:54] to my grave
[44:55] like people don't
[44:56] maybe people used to do that
[44:57] but nowadays it's like
[44:58] can I get a book deal
[44:59] off of this
[44:59] can I get on TV
[45:00] from this
[45:01] you know
Dan McCoy
[45:01] also back in the days
[45:02] when scandals
[45:03] took down presidents
[45:04] the government
[45:06] botched a fucking break-in
[45:08] a thing that should have been
[45:09] just easy
[45:10] to get away with
[45:11] and they didn't do it
[45:12] so
[45:13] I don't think they're going to
[45:14] keep the alien secret
Stuart Wellington
[45:15] where is the deep
[45:16] deep politics
[45:17] part of the podcast
[45:18] yeah yeah
[45:18] this is when we turn into
[45:19] we turn into a
[45:20] now it's
[45:21] now suddenly it's like
[45:22] a Vox podcast
[45:23] yeah we're the
[45:23] Chapo Flophouse
[45:24] the
[45:25] but yeah
[45:26] the idea that like
[45:27] yeah if there were
[45:28] if the government had access
[45:30] to a whole bunch of aliens
[45:30] you know there would be
[45:32] like a Slack channel
[45:33] of these nutsacks
[45:34] sending pictures of dead aliens
[45:36] with like
[45:36] a fucking tag like
[45:38] oh look at this
[45:39] LOL
[45:39] like that kind of shit
[45:40] and they'd accidentally send it to the wrong person
Elliott Kalan
[45:43] they'd add a reporter
[45:45] to that Slack channel
[45:47] or some kind of
[45:48] mid-level contractor
[45:50] would tell the people
[45:50] that he Twitch
[45:51] video game plays with
[45:53] that he's got aliens
[45:54] in his garage
[45:55] or something like that
[45:56] you know
[45:56] it would not be a secret anymore
[45:57] for sure
[45:58] but also the idea
[45:59] there's
[46:00] the idea in the past
[46:01] would be like
[46:01] oh the government is
[46:02] using the alien technology
[46:04] and doesn't want people
[46:05] to know where it came from
[46:05] and that's why we have
[46:06] microwave ovens
[46:08] and things like that
[46:08] and yet I've
[46:09] yet to
[46:10] unless our technology
[46:11] is a plan by aliens
[46:13] to ruin our lives
[46:14] so that they can then
[46:15] take over that much more easily
[46:17] it seems like
[46:17] the technology we have
[46:18] is not so impressive
[46:19] that we need aliens to get
[46:20] yeah they were like
Stuart Wellington
[46:21] let's create pyramids
[46:22] so humans can fuck up their lives
Elliott Kalan
[46:24] I mean that's the other way
[46:27] they're like
[46:28] how could all these different races
[46:29] invent pyramids
[46:30] it must be aliens
[46:31] like pretty
[46:31] just stack stuff on each other
[46:33] and you have a thick base
[46:34] at the bottom
[46:34] and you know
[46:35] triangles are the most
[46:36] stable shape
[46:37] it's an organized pile
[46:37] if you're building something
[46:39] and gravity is involved
[46:40] like you're gonna get a pyramid
[46:41] that's what's gonna happen
[46:42] also they don't
Stuart Wellington
[46:43] they don't have like
[46:44] a million fucking things
[46:46] shooting into their eyeballs
[46:47] from their phone every day
[46:48] they can just focus on
[46:50] building one thing
[46:51] also they enslaved
[46:52] a bunch of people
Elliott Kalan
[46:53] that was the other half
[46:54] not all pyramids
[46:55] were built by slaves
[46:56] Dan
[46:56] hashtag not all pyramids
Dan McCoy
[46:58] thank you for correcting
[47:01] the thing that I didn't say
[47:03] okay
Elliott Kalan
[47:05] but yeah so I think
[47:06] we can all agree
[47:06] that in real life
[47:07] we probably don't believe
[47:08] that the government
[47:08] is necessarily doing it
[47:10] covering it up
[47:10] because they're doing
[47:11] too good a job
[47:12] if they are
[47:12] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[47:12] so now
[47:13] back to the movie
[47:14] now that they've escaped
[47:15] from Tom
[47:15] they realize that the men
[47:16] in black
[47:17] they should have called
[47:17] this movie
[47:18] escape from Tom
[47:18] they've escaped from Tom
[47:23] and they realize
[47:24] that they're being
[47:25] followed by men in black
[47:26] which they're like
[47:28] you know
[47:29] I might be going crazy
[47:30] but I think this van
[47:31] is following us
[47:32] I'm like that's not a van
[47:33] that's an SUV
[47:33] once again
[47:34] misidentification
[47:36] of vehicles
Elliott Kalan
[47:37] technically an SUV
[47:39] is a light truck
[47:40] for regulation purposes
[47:41] the director
Dan McCoy
[47:42] has car blindness
[47:43] yeah
Elliott Kalan
[47:43] so
[47:46] sir can you tell us
[47:47] about the car
[47:47] that hit your car
[47:49] with the hit and run
[47:49] I can't
[47:50] I can't
Stuart Wellington
[47:51] it's probably
[47:53] got four wheels
[47:55] probably
[47:56] probably
[47:57] okay
[47:58] so they realize
[47:59] that the men in black
[48:00] are on their trail
[48:01] so they need to
[48:02] they need to
[48:02] they need to hide themselves
[48:03] so I think this is when
[48:05] they all go shopping
[48:07] and they go to the mall
[48:08] and they go
[48:09] buy some new clothes
Elliott Kalan
[48:10] wait
[48:10] talking
[48:11] speaking of Barry Seinfeld
[48:12] I will say
[48:12] if the government
[48:13] is covering up aliens
[48:14] we weren't
[48:15] then when we were earlier
[48:16] that
[48:16] one of the most
[48:18] brilliant psyops
[48:19] that the government
[48:19] then could have pulled off
[48:20] is to turn men in black
[48:22] from a sinister presence
[48:23] whose job is to
[48:24] keep people ignorant
[48:25] into a lovable presence
[48:26] whose job is to
[48:27] protect humanity
[48:28] from bad aliens
[48:29] which is
[48:29] in the old stories
[48:30] was never what they were
[48:31] they were always just about
[48:32] destroying evidence
[48:34] of UFOs
[48:34] and things like that
[48:35] but they
[48:35] and intimidating people
[48:36] like
[48:37] and intimidating people
[48:38] yeah
[48:38] whereas in the
[48:39] in the movies
[48:40] thanks to Hollywood
[48:41] thanks to Hollywood
[48:42] now men in black
[48:44] are lovable
[48:44] Will Smith guys
[48:45] Elliot's just burning
Stuart Wellington
[48:46] his career to the ground
[48:47] right now
[48:48] I'm saying that
S3
[48:50] Hollywood and the government
[48:51] are working together
[48:52] to
[48:53] well maybe that's what
[48:54] Gino McCoy was really after
[48:56] was to sort of like
[48:56] retake
[48:57] the lore
[48:59] of men in black
[49:00] and turn it into
[49:00] something menacing
[49:01] that was a very good shot
[49:03] as down that street
[49:05] first of all
[49:05] I was like
[49:06] I don't think
[49:07] they're on that street
[49:07] but it was a pretty cool shot
[49:09] of the lone
[49:11] man in black
[49:12] standing there
Stuart Wellington
[49:13] yeah
[49:13] the mysterious
[49:14] man in black
[49:14] just standing next to
[49:15] an SUV
[49:16] yeah
[49:16] I was like
[49:17] oh that's spooky
[49:18] yeah
[49:18] how'd he get there
[49:19] probably the SUV
[49:22] yeah
[49:23] he took an Uber
[49:24] and then he waited
[49:27] for the Uber to leave
[49:27] to pose menacingly
[49:29] so
[49:29] he's like
[49:29] get out of here
[49:30] get out of here
[49:31] I gotta pose
[49:31] I might be slightly
[49:32] the timing here
[49:33] might be wrong for me
[49:35] because my brain
[49:35] got a little muddled
[49:36] at some point
[49:37] they fly to Morocco
[49:38] yes
[49:39] was that before
[49:40] or after Tatiana's
Dan McCoy
[49:41] or Tatiana's parents
[49:42] in Morocco
[49:42] Tatiana's parents
Elliott Kalan
[49:44] are in Morocco
[49:44] oh
[49:45] that's why
S3
[49:46] they look like
[49:46] they live in a medieval
[49:47] times building
[49:48] yes
[49:49] you know
[49:49] they're like
[49:50] we should go see
Elliott Kalan
[49:51] Tatiana's parents
[49:52] we gotta go to Morocco
[49:53] and they did shoot
[49:53] in Morocco
[49:54] so
[49:55] give the movie credit
[49:56] for that
[49:56] on location
[49:57] I like that
S3
[49:58] we don't see
[49:58] anything about them
[49:59] flying
[50:00] but we see them
[50:00] at a fucking
[50:01] grocery store
[50:02] you know what I mean
[50:03] like they're coming out
[50:04] of the mall
[50:05] but we don't
Stuart Wellington
[50:06] get any sense
[50:07] we do see one
[50:07] we do have some
[50:09] footage of an
[50:09] airplane flying
[50:10] right
Elliott Kalan
[50:11] yeah
[50:12] but I think
[50:12] I don't think
[50:13] they hired another
[50:14] plane to shoot
[50:15] that plane
[50:15] no of course
[50:16] they did not
Stuart Wellington
[50:16] okay so they meet
[50:18] with Tatiana's parents
[50:19] who are obviously
[50:20] broken up
[50:20] but they also
[50:21] add some context
[50:22] that Tatiana
[50:23] has always had
[50:24] these dreams
[50:25] of being abducted
[50:26] by aliens
[50:26] here's some art
[50:28] she drew
[50:28] from her memories
[50:29] of her being
[50:31] strapped to a table
[50:32] it was pretty funny
[50:33] when they show
[50:33] the piece of child's art
[50:34] and they're like
[50:34] that's from her memories
[50:36] yeah that was pretty
Dan McCoy
[50:37] funny yeah
[50:37] there's a line in here
[50:39] that I know
[50:39] Ashley also
[50:40] had a problem
[50:41] with
[50:41] I was so mad
[50:42] where the mom's like
[50:43] how is any of this
[50:44] gonna help find our daughter
[50:45] and like what
[50:46] this is like literally
[50:47] directly gonna lead
[50:50] to where your daughter is
S3
[50:51] yeah George is like
[50:52] did she ever describe
[50:53] this
[50:54] this
[50:54] you know
[50:55] secret underground
[50:56] the dumb
[50:57] and
[50:58] her dad's like
[50:59] yes
[51:00] for the time
[51:01] she was missing
[51:01] the longest
[51:02] and then the mother
[51:03] just exhorts
[51:04] you know
[51:05] what is this gonna do
[51:06] to help find her
[51:07] it's like
[51:07] bitch that's the first
[51:09] solid lead
[51:10] there's been
[51:10] all fucking movie
[51:12] are you serious
Elliott Kalan
[51:13] this is what we wish
[51:14] we could have told
[51:15] that English police officer
[51:16] who works in Los Angeles
[51:17] on an exchange program
[51:18] of some kind
[51:19] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[51:19] that would have been
[51:20] a real lead
[51:21] it would have been great
[51:22] if he showed up
[51:22] in Morocco
[51:23] wearing like
[51:24] a big like
[51:24] Panama hat
Elliott Kalan
[51:25] yeah yeah
Stuart Wellington
[51:28] all like
[51:29] Lawrence of Arabia
Elliott Kalan
[51:29] this scene
[51:31] with the parents
[51:31] I mean so many
[51:32] scenes this movie
[51:33] the Eric Roberts
[51:34] scene
[51:34] a lot of conversations
[51:35] it feels
[51:36] I had so much trouble
[51:37] my mind had so much trouble
[51:38] gripping
[51:39] what was going on
[51:40] like holding on
[51:41] to the dialogue
[51:41] or picking up information
[51:43] because it's so
[51:44] elliptically
[51:45] kind of like
[51:46] some would say
[51:47] poorly
[51:47] written
[51:48] and information
[51:50] is suddenly
[51:50] dropped on you
[51:52] without any lead up
[51:53] or anything like that
[51:54] but then the conversations
[51:55] otherwise
[51:55] will just kind of like
[51:56] circle the drain
[51:58] of actual
[51:58] actual talk
[51:59] it was very
[52:00] I don't know
[52:01] if you guys
[52:01] are having this trouble
[52:02] but I felt like
[52:03] I'd watch a scene
[52:04] and halfway through the scene
[52:05] I'd be like
[52:05] I don't
[52:06] I don't know
[52:06] that I'm registering
[52:06] any of this
[52:07] like it just kind of
[52:08] feels like
[52:08] like I'm walking
[52:10] through a haze of words
[52:11] that don't quite make sense
[52:13] yeah okay
S3
[52:13] I agree
[52:13] but I also thought
[52:14] maybe that's Los Angeles
[52:15] I've definitely had meetings
[52:17] with my agents in LA
[52:18] that felt very similar to that
[52:21] where I walked away going
[52:23] I don't think I got
[52:24] any concrete information
[52:25] out of that
[52:26] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[52:27] so while in Morocco
[52:29] they stop at a gas station
[52:30] and they buy an RV
[52:31] Alex buys an RV
[52:32] while Delilah
[52:33] and Patricia
[52:35] get in an argument
[52:36] where they're like
[52:37] kind of accusing
[52:38] each other
[52:39] of trying to
[52:40] take advantage of Alex
[52:41] and his money
Elliott Kalan
[52:42] and so Delilah
[52:43] has made it very clear
[52:44] to Patricia
[52:44] that she's going to
[52:46] play along with Alex's
[52:47] fears about aliens
[52:48] because she sees this
[52:49] as the way to get
[52:50] become his new girlfriend
S3
[52:51] he's such a catch
[52:53] at this point
[52:53] and he's such a catch
Elliott Kalan
[52:54] the guy who
[52:55] I mean he's shaved his beard
[52:56] at this point
[52:56] so he lost the one thing
[52:57] that was great about him
[52:58] but this guy
[53:00] who has spent months
[53:01] sitting around a pool
[53:02] pining for
[53:03] his disappeared girlfriend
[53:04] and is now kind of
[53:06] driven in this
[53:07] obsessive way
[53:08] to make everyone
[53:09] fly to Morocco
[53:09] and drive around
[53:10] in the desert
[53:11] in an RV
[53:11] she's like
[53:11] I gotta keep this guy
[53:13] like I gotta get with him
[53:15] you know
Stuart Wellington
[53:15] well I mean
[53:15] at least he's got hobbies
[53:17] you know
[53:17] he's got something
[53:18] going on
S3
[53:19] right he's interesting
[53:20] he's not just playing
[53:21] video games
[53:21] yeah he's not just
[53:22] playing Elden Ring
[53:23] definitely like a
[53:24] Timu Justin Thoreau
[53:26] at that point
[53:26] like they've really
[53:27] got him squared down
Stuart Wellington
[53:30] Timu Justin Thoreau
[53:33] I feel like that's
[53:33] like a whole
[53:34] type of man
[53:35] definitely
[53:36] okay so
[53:38] they ride around
[53:40] in the desert
[53:41] for a little bit
[53:41] they stop
[53:43] at a desert
[53:44] oasis
[53:44] wait
[53:45] did you skip
Dan McCoy
[53:46] the part though
[53:46] where they go
[53:47] the two girls
[53:48] go into the
[53:49] place
[53:50] they find a woman
[53:50] who like
[53:52] laughs at
[53:52] like an elderly woman
[53:53] just looks at them
[53:55] and does a creepy laugh
[53:56] for a long time
[53:57] and they both
[53:57] kind of just look
[53:58] at each other
[53:58] and back out of the room
[53:59] and then get up and leave
[54:00] they reacted like
Stuart Wellington
[54:01] they went to
[54:02] a haunted house
[54:03] and that was the
[54:04] like
[54:05] they're like
[54:05] oh what a wacky
[54:06] experience
[54:07] okay now for the
[54:08] hey ride
[54:08] I would be much more
Elliott Kalan
[54:10] disquieted by that
[54:10] I don't know what
[54:11] they expected
[54:11] when they went
[54:12] into the building
[54:13] I don't know
[54:13] what they expected
[54:14] to have happened
[54:14] and I don't know
[54:15] why that happened
[54:16] and I don't know
[54:17] why they
[54:17] you know
S3
[54:18] I think they're very
[54:19] it's one of those
[54:20] moments where it's like
[54:21] there's fully
[54:22] 25 to 30 seconds
[54:23] given to why they go in
[54:24] which is to get out
[54:25] of the heat
[54:26] I didn't need
[54:27] that information
[54:27] they could have
[54:29] just gone in
[54:30] and had this
[54:30] experience
[54:31] but then they come out
[54:32] and you get the sense
[54:33] that those scenes
[54:34] right next to each other
[54:35] were filmed
[54:36] months apart
[54:37] right
[54:37] because they just
[54:39] giggle
[54:39] on their way out
[54:41] like they've been
[54:42] in a tickle fight
[54:42] you know
Elliott Kalan
[54:43] I will say
[54:45] and I'll give
[54:46] that's some good
[54:47] direction by the way
[54:48] so pretend
[54:49] like imagine
[54:50] you're in a tickle fight
[54:52] you've been in a tickle fight
[54:53] before
[54:53] so just take yourself
[54:54] back there
[54:55] your motivation
[54:56] your motivation
[54:56] is that you've just
[54:57] left a tickle fight
[54:58] you're a little wistful
[54:59] that it's over
[55:00] but you're also
[55:00] physically glad
[55:01] it's over
[55:02] because you just
[55:02] can't laugh that hard
[55:03] anymore
[55:04] from the tickling
S3
[55:05] a little side aching
[55:06] but grateful
Elliott Kalan
[55:07] for the experience
[55:08] exactly
[55:09] I will say
[55:10] if this scene
[55:11] had happened
[55:11] in a different
[55:12] kind of movie
[55:12] I'd be like
[55:13] love this scene
[55:14] if this was
[55:15] if this was some
[55:16] kind of eastern
[55:16] european horror movie
[55:17] I'd be like
[55:18] I love this scene
[55:18] where they walk
[55:19] in an old lady
[55:19] just laughs at them
[55:20] and they walk out again
Stuart Wellington
[55:21] but in this movie
[55:23] it didn't quite work
[55:23] for me
[55:24] that's too bad
[55:25] okay so
[55:26] again
[55:27] there was
[55:28] there's definitely
[55:28] a moment
[55:29] at night
[55:29] where they are
[55:30] arguing about
[55:31] an aux cable
[55:32] and they need
[55:33] to play some music
[55:34] I can't remember
[55:34] if this happens
[55:35] before or after
[55:36] they all of a sudden
[55:38] George is outside
[55:39] of the vehicle
[55:40] and he runs over
[55:41] and they find this
[55:43] desert oasis
[55:44] thing at night
[55:44] I think it's after
[55:45] the oasis
[55:46] I don't know
[55:46] because the aux cable
[55:47] leads to
[55:48] the song starts playing
Elliott Kalan
[55:49] and they have
[55:50] to sing along
[55:51] yeah
[55:52] and they're like
[55:52] we didn't ask
[55:53] for this song
[55:53] but it's kind of catchy
[55:54] and it's clearly
[55:55] another Gino McCoy
[55:56] banger
[55:56] 100%
Dan McCoy
[55:57] I went through
[55:58] a rollercoaster
[55:59] of emotions
[55:59] during the scene
[56:00] because at first
[56:01] I'm like
[56:01] why are we spending
[56:02] so much time
[56:03] on whether they
[56:03] have an aux cable
[56:04] to play music
[56:05] just play some music
[56:06] and then I'm like
[56:07] oh it's to set up
[56:08] the fact that
[56:08] he's going to play
[56:09] another one of his songs
[56:09] and then at first
[56:11] all the characters
[56:12] don't like the song
[56:13] and I'm like
[56:13] oh Gino McCoy
[56:15] you're being honest
[56:15] or at least humble
Elliott Kalan
[56:17] at once
[56:18] no but they love
[56:19] they really get into it
[56:20] but then they get into it
[56:21] they turn around
Dan McCoy
[56:21] and they're like
[56:22] you know what
[56:22] this is the greatest song
[56:23] I've ever heard
S3
[56:24] I wondered if that screech
[56:26] right before it
[56:26] that happens
[56:27] is sort of like
[56:27] a mind control thing
[56:29] that makes them
[56:30] really love the song
[56:31] because there is that
[56:32] really discordant sound
[56:33] that comes out
[56:34] yeah
[56:35] and I was like
[56:36] ooh that's cool
[56:36] the radio waves
[56:38] are being controlled
[56:39] by what's ever
[56:39] in the air
[56:40] it really feels like
[56:40] it's setting you up
Elliott Kalan
[56:41] for the aliens
[56:42] to attack in that moment
[56:43] but it's setting you up
[56:44] for this song
[56:45] which then is like
[56:46] so is he saying
[56:47] the music
[56:47] a different kind of attack
[56:48] the music
[56:48] comes from the aliens
[56:49] is that what it is
Stuart Wellington
[56:50] yeah yeah
[56:50] it's Serving with the Aliens
[56:52] by Joe Satriani
[56:52] that's what a sexy girl is
[56:54] so yeah
[56:55] maybe this track
[56:56] is actually like
[56:57] that loud sound
[56:58] it was like
[56:59] the bonus hidden track
[57:01] at the end of the last track
[57:02] on Gina McCoy's record
[57:03] where like
[57:04] on that last song
[57:05] after you listen
[57:05] to the last song
[57:06] you then like
[57:07] wait 20 minutes
[57:08] and then there's like
[57:09] a crazy sound
[57:10] and then you get
[57:10] a bonus secret song
[57:11] yeah
[57:12] that's what people love
[57:13] right
[57:13] people love that shit
Elliott Kalan
[57:13] or here's my read
[57:14] of the rest of this movie
[57:15] that screech
[57:16] that's the moment
[57:17] when their van crashed
[57:18] because they were so busy
[57:19] looking about oxygen
[57:20] but the rest of the movie
[57:21] is them in the last moments
[57:22] what they imagine
[57:23] before they die
[57:24] you know
[57:24] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[57:25] it's a real loss
[57:26] the morphine dream
[57:27] that's great
[57:28] yeah
[57:29] okay so
[57:30] at one point
[57:30] they stop
[57:31] at a nighttime
[57:32] desert oasis
[57:33] they meet up
[57:34] with a weird
[57:35] hippie couple
[57:35] Sonny and Cher
[57:36] who convince Alex
[57:37] to take his clothes off
[57:39] and go
[57:39] kind of skinny dipping
[57:41] for a moment
[57:42] and then they leave
Elliott Kalan
[57:43] these characters
[57:43] again
[57:44] this is where the movie
[57:45] almost becomes
[57:46] a movie
[57:47] I can respect
[57:48] on a B-movie level
[57:48] it makes no sense
[57:50] it's dumb
[57:50] the Sonny character
[57:51] just grunts
[57:52] he's like a caveman
[57:53] wearing clothes
[57:54] and the Cher character
[57:55] for no reason
[57:57] pretty much
[57:57] takes off her dress
[57:58] and goes get in this water
[57:59] with me
[57:59] we gotta get into the water
[58:00] and it doesn't
[58:03] these characters show up later
[58:04] and it doesn't mean anything
[58:05] when they show up later either
[58:06] but the nonsensical
[58:07] cartoonish quality
[58:09] of these characters
[58:09] it's like
[58:10] oh yeah
[58:11] we're Sonny
[58:11] I'm Sonny
[58:12] this is Cher
[58:12] and I'm Cher
[58:13] this is Sonny
[58:13] and it's like
[58:14] and someone goes like
[58:15] Sonny and Cher
[58:15] it's like
[58:16] it's like they wandered
[58:17] into a different
[58:18] sillier
[58:18] kind of like
[58:19] weirder movie
[58:20] and I'm like
[58:20] alright
[58:21] let's spend more time
[58:21] in this movie
S3
[58:22] they're in the same movie
[58:23] with Eric Roberts
[58:24] and I don't know
[58:25] like
[58:25] they're all sort of
[58:26] it feels
[58:28] very Bakersfield
[58:29] to me
[58:29] I don't know
[58:30] how I can really
[58:31] explain it
[58:32] any further
[58:32] Sonny and Cher
[58:33] are definitely
[58:34] not their real names
[58:35] you know
[58:36] and I really respect
[58:37] them being like
[58:38] uh
[58:39] yeah
[58:39] we're not even
[58:40] gonna pretend
[58:41] that we're gonna be
[58:42] authentic with you
Stuart Wellington
[58:43] yeah
[58:44] I also feel like
[58:45] Sonny and Cher
[58:46] were not the names
[58:47] on the script
[58:48] and they're just like
[58:49] uh
[58:49] come up with a name
[58:50] real quick
[58:51] while we're shooting
Elliott Kalan
[58:51] maybe
[58:52] these two
[58:53] these two
[58:53] there's such a
[58:54] there's such a
[58:55] Manson family vibe
[58:56] to them
[58:56] and it's the kind
[58:57] of thing where I'm like
[58:58] I want more
[58:59] genuinely
[59:00] I want more of this
[59:01] kind of strange
[59:01] sinister vibe
[59:02] in this movie
[59:03] for sure
[59:03] because otherwise
[59:04] this movie just feels
[59:05] very flat
[59:07] and bland
[59:07] and boring
Stuart Wellington
[59:08] so we then
[59:09] uh
[59:10] things
[59:11] time for things
[59:12] to get heating
[59:12] heating up
[59:13] so there
[59:14] while traveling
[59:15] at night
[59:15] on the road
[59:16] they almost run
[59:17] over a goat
[59:18] um
[59:19] and then
[59:20] all of a sudden
[59:21] something smashes
[59:22] into the windshield
[59:23] I couldn't tell
[59:23] if it was the goat
[59:24] or something else
[59:25] and then there seems
[59:26] to be
[59:26] I was having trouble
Stuart Wellington
[59:26] with this too
Elliott Kalan
[59:27] whether it was like
[59:27] the goat's head
[59:29] I think
[59:29] or maybe it's
[59:30] an alien thing
[59:31] or it's a tiny
[59:32] weapon of something
[59:33] it's very hard
[59:34] to make it out
[59:34] I watched that part
[59:36] a couple times
[59:36] and I could never
[59:37] quite get it
Stuart Wellington
[59:37] there seems to be
[59:38] some kind of a UFO
[59:39] and they uh
[59:41] they try to get away
[59:42] in their RV
[59:43] but then the RV
[59:44] crashes and rolls
[59:45] down a hill
[59:46] we have a
[59:46] I would say
[59:47] probably a complicated
[59:49] uh
[59:50] stunt shot
[59:51] of
[59:51] oh yeah
[59:52] the the RV
[59:53] rolling around
[59:54] and the people
[59:54] like bouncing around
[59:56] on the inside
[59:56] I was really impressed
Elliott Kalan
[59:57] by that
[59:57] that was the one
[59:59] that was these
[59:59] this was the one
[1:00:00] effect of the movie
[1:00:00] there's some okay
[1:00:01] like kind of
[1:00:02] sci-fi channel
[1:00:03] level type
[1:00:04] or maybe a little
[1:00:05] bit less effects
[1:00:06] but this
[1:00:06] when they
[1:00:07] later on
[1:00:07] it's very much
Stuart Wellington
[1:00:08] like alone
[1:00:09] in the dark
[1:00:09] uh video cutscene
[1:00:11] in a video game
Elliott Kalan
[1:00:12] yes
[1:00:12] when they were
[1:00:13] when they're actually
[1:00:14] when they're actually
[1:00:15] when you're inside the RV
[1:00:17] and it was spinning
[1:00:17] the roll
[1:00:18] yeah
[1:00:18] I was like
[1:00:18] they must have made
[1:00:19] a room
[1:00:20] and that they could
[1:00:20] turn
[1:00:21] yeah it was really cool
[1:00:22] actually
[1:00:23] actually you've been
Stuart Wellington
[1:00:24] you've been in a lot
[1:00:25] of sets
[1:00:25] have you ever been
[1:00:25] in a rolling RV
S3
[1:00:27] I have not
[1:00:29] and I was really
[1:00:29] disappointed
[1:00:30] once I thought
[1:00:31] I thought
[1:00:31] bucket list
Stuart Wellington
[1:00:32] man
[1:00:33] yeah let's add it
[1:00:34] but it's funny
[1:00:35] because it is
[1:00:35] maybe in the next
[1:00:36] season of Gilded Age
S3
[1:00:37] from your lips
[1:00:40] to Julian Fellow's
[1:00:41] ears
[1:00:42] I really
[1:00:43] I was like
[1:00:44] this is a really
[1:00:45] effective scene
[1:00:46] and I didn't
[1:00:47] want any of it
[1:00:48] like I really
[1:00:49] didn't want
[1:00:50] to see
[1:00:51] George
[1:00:52] hurting
[1:00:53] and upset
[1:00:54] the way
[1:00:55] yeah
[1:00:56] the way that I was
[1:00:56] like no
Stuart Wellington
[1:00:57] I've become so
[1:00:59] attached to George
[1:01:00] you care about this
[1:01:01] character
[1:01:01] yeah
[1:01:02] yeah
S3
[1:01:02] yeah
[1:01:03] absolutely
[1:01:04] I didn't want
[1:01:04] to see that guy
[1:01:05] in pain
[1:01:06] I did not need
[1:01:07] realistic cuts
[1:01:08] and injuries
[1:01:09] yeah
[1:01:09] on these ciphers
[1:01:10] of people
[1:01:11] like I really
[1:01:12] just
Stuart Wellington
[1:01:12] so they climb
[1:01:14] out of the wreckage
[1:01:14] of their RV
[1:01:16] and they are all
[1:01:17] injured
[1:01:17] and they're
[1:01:19] disoriented
[1:01:19] and there seems
[1:01:20] to be aliens
[1:01:21] still around
[1:01:21] up on a bluff
[1:01:23] they see Sonny
[1:01:24] and Cher
[1:01:24] who then get
[1:01:25] blasted by some
[1:01:26] kind of alien ray
[1:01:27] and then they
[1:01:29] alien ray
Elliott Kalan
[1:01:30] alien original
[1:01:31] alien ray
[1:01:32] the pizza guy
[1:01:32] yeah
[1:01:34] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[1:01:36] yeah
[1:01:37] the
[1:01:37] so they
[1:01:38] they try to
[1:01:38] take cover
[1:01:39] from the aliens
[1:01:40] by running
[1:01:41] toward a nearby
[1:01:42] like fort
[1:01:43] or castle
[1:01:45] and uh
[1:01:46] they hide in there
[1:01:47] and it turns out
[1:01:47] that that's actually
[1:01:48] the cover part
[1:01:50] of a
[1:01:51] deep underground
[1:01:52] military base
[1:01:54] they descend
[1:01:54] into the
[1:01:55] bowels
[1:01:55] of this base
[1:01:56] and this is where
[1:01:56] it's a pretty
[1:01:57] standard
[1:01:57] sci-fi channel
[1:02:00] like
[1:02:00] sci-fi
[1:02:01] i don't know
[1:02:02] like science
[1:02:03] installation
[1:02:04] type base
[1:02:05] yeah
[1:02:05] like a
Elliott Kalan
[1:02:06] scientific
[1:02:06] military
[1:02:07] thing
[1:02:07] where there's
[1:02:08] like
[1:02:08] yeah
[1:02:08] there's like
[1:02:09] hallways
[1:02:10] with
[1:02:10] with gratings
[1:02:11] above you
[1:02:11] and there's
[1:02:12] like
[1:02:12] doors
[1:02:13] with glowing
[1:02:13] stuff
[1:02:14] behind them
[1:02:15] lines
[1:02:15] lines on the wall
[1:02:16] that glowing
[1:02:16] lines on the wall
[1:02:18] eventually
[1:02:18] yeah
[1:02:18] recessed lighting
[1:02:19] yeah
[1:02:20] eventually you're
[1:02:21] gonna find
[1:02:22] tanks
[1:02:22] with things
[1:02:23] floating in them
[1:02:24] you know
[1:02:24] they're clearly
Stuart Wellington
[1:02:26] the next step
[1:02:27] of human
[1:02:27] evolution
Elliott Kalan
[1:02:28] as george
[1:02:28] says
[1:02:29] the next step
[1:02:29] of human
[1:02:30] evolution
[1:02:30] i don't know
[1:02:31] what he's basing
[1:02:31] that on
[1:02:31] because they
[1:02:32] just kind of
[1:02:32] look like
[1:02:32] blubs
[1:02:33] like just
[1:02:34] blobs
[1:02:34] and blubs
[1:02:35] guys in
Dan McCoy
[1:02:35] suits
[1:02:35] one of the
[1:02:36] top ten
[1:02:36] places you're
[1:02:37] gonna find
[1:02:37] tanks full
[1:02:38] things floating
[1:02:39] top ten
[1:02:40] seafood
Elliott Kalan
[1:02:41] restaurants
[1:02:42] yeah
[1:02:42] seafood
[1:02:43] restaurants
[1:02:43] and chinese
[1:02:43] restaurants
[1:02:44] underground
[1:02:45] government
[1:02:45] installations
[1:02:46] dentist
[1:02:46] office
[1:02:47] waiting
[1:02:48] rooms
Stuart Wellington
[1:02:49] okay
[1:02:50] any place
[1:02:51] where they
[1:02:52] have like
[1:02:52] count how
[1:02:53] many pickled
[1:02:54] eggs are in
[1:02:54] the jar
[1:02:55] and if you
[1:02:55] get it right
[1:02:56] you get all
[1:02:56] the eggs
[1:02:56] the empire
[1:02:57] strikes back
[1:02:58] jeff coon's
Elliott Kalan
[1:03:00] retrospectives
[1:03:01] that's just
[1:03:01] gonna be
[1:03:01] basketballs
[1:03:02] floating in
[1:03:02] tanks
[1:03:02] but again
[1:03:03] it counts
[1:03:04] you know
Stuart Wellington
[1:03:04] does it count
[1:03:05] as floating
[1:03:06] in tanks
[1:03:06] if it's one
[1:03:07] of those
[1:03:07] places
[1:03:07] that's like
[1:03:08] like a
[1:03:09] paragliding
[1:03:10] or whatever
[1:03:10] but it's
[1:03:10] indoors
[1:03:11] like indoor
[1:03:11] skydiving
[1:03:12] places
[1:03:13] that's a good
[1:03:13] question
[1:03:14] we get it
[1:03:14] a lot
[1:03:14] no actually
[1:03:15] it does not
[1:03:16] count as a
[1:03:16] tank
Dan McCoy
[1:03:17] we at the
[1:03:18] tank
[1:03:18] administration
[1:03:20] we in the
Elliott Kalan
[1:03:20] tank floating
[1:03:21] listing ranking
[1:03:22] community
[1:03:24] so walking
[1:03:24] around this
[1:03:25] as the
[1:03:25] as the guinness
[1:03:26] representative
[1:03:27] for tank
[1:03:28] floating
[1:03:28] operations
[1:03:30] I'll have to
[1:03:31] say no
[1:03:31] Stuart
[1:03:31] that does not
[1:03:32] fit our
[1:03:32] parameters
[1:03:33] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[1:03:33] so walking
[1:03:34] around this
[1:03:34] place
[1:03:35] I think at
[1:03:35] one point
[1:03:36] patricia
[1:03:36] has a vision
[1:03:37] of like
[1:03:38] alien silhouettes
[1:03:39] yeah
[1:03:40] alien silhouettes
[1:03:41] and blood
[1:03:42] flowing around
[1:03:42] her what
[1:03:43] like
[1:03:43] faux
[1:03:44] reptile skin
[1:03:46] boots
[1:03:46] and then
[1:03:48] they eventually
[1:03:49] realize they're
[1:03:50] being tracked
[1:03:52] it seems like
[1:03:53] men in black
[1:03:53] special force
[1:03:54] type guys
[1:03:55] George
[1:03:56] and Alex
[1:03:57] easily
[1:03:58] dispatch these
[1:03:59] two soldiers
[1:04:00] easily overtake
[1:04:01] them
[1:04:01] yeah
[1:04:02] it never occurs
Elliott Kalan
[1:04:03] to soldiers
[1:04:04] to use the
[1:04:04] enormous guns
[1:04:05] that they're
[1:04:05] holding in their
[1:04:06] hands
Dan McCoy
[1:04:06] guys
[1:04:07] if one of
[1:04:08] you got
[1:04:08] abducted
[1:04:09] by aliens
[1:04:10] my friends
[1:04:11] and I
[1:04:11] would
[1:04:12] not be able
[1:04:13] to find
[1:04:13] you
[1:04:14] and B
Stuart Wellington
[1:04:15] please
[1:04:16] maybe
[1:04:16] they're
[1:04:17] being held
[1:04:18] at the
[1:04:18] local
[1:04:19] cineplex
[1:04:19] for the
[1:04:21] bad movie
[1:04:22] retrospective
[1:04:22] I'm attending
Dan McCoy
[1:04:23] but also
[1:04:24] don't expect
[1:04:25] me to be
[1:04:25] able to
[1:04:26] beat anyone
[1:04:26] up in
[1:04:27] order to
[1:04:28] save you
Stuart Wellington
[1:04:29] for sure
[1:04:30] if they're not
[1:04:30] at the bar
[1:04:31] I'm not
[1:04:31] finding them
[1:04:32] maybe
[1:04:34] they're
[1:04:35] at the
[1:04:35] comic shop
[1:04:36] okay
[1:04:39] they burst
[1:04:40] into
[1:04:41] I'll check
[1:04:41] this hammock
[1:04:41] yeah
Elliott Kalan
[1:04:42] don't see
[1:04:45] him yet
[1:04:45] better spend
[1:04:46] a little
[1:04:46] more time
[1:04:46] checking
S3
[1:04:47] I was
[1:04:48] mad the
[1:04:48] guys got
[1:04:49] guns
[1:04:49] and poor
[1:04:50] Patricia's
[1:04:51] just got
[1:04:52] her phone
[1:04:52] still
Stuart Wellington
[1:04:52] yeah
[1:04:53] but she's
[1:04:53] getting all
[1:04:54] this
[1:04:54] George is
[1:04:55] as George
[1:04:56] says out
[1:04:56] loud
[1:04:56] he's gonna
[1:04:57] get rich
[1:04:58] from this
[1:04:58] material
[1:04:59] which I'm
[1:04:59] like
[1:04:59] how do
[1:05:00] you own
[1:05:01] she's the
[1:05:01] one
[1:05:01] filming
[1:05:02] right
[1:05:02] way
[1:05:03] like
[1:05:03] is she
[1:05:03] under
[1:05:03] contract
[1:05:04] yeah
[1:05:04] I mean
[1:05:05] it's a
[1:05:05] little
Elliott Kalan
[1:05:05] it's a
[1:05:06] little
[1:05:06] I mean
[1:05:06] but
[1:05:07] reminded
[1:05:07] a little
[1:05:07] bit
[1:05:07] an issue
[1:05:08] I had
[1:05:08] Nope
[1:05:09] when they
[1:05:10] were like
[1:05:10] all we need
[1:05:11] is a picture
[1:05:11] of that
[1:05:11] thing
[1:05:12] and we'll
[1:05:12] millionaires
[1:05:13] and I'm
[1:05:14] like
[1:05:14] who's
[1:05:14] gonna pay
[1:05:15] you
[1:05:15] them
[1:05:15] I don't
[1:05:15] understand
[1:05:15] but I
[1:05:16] don't
[1:05:16] think
[1:05:17] that's
Stuart Wellington
[1:05:18] a problem
[1:05:19] with the
[1:05:19] script
[1:05:19] I would
[1:05:19] argue
[1:05:20] that's
[1:05:20] a problem
[1:05:20] with
[1:05:21] their
[1:05:21] thinking
[1:05:22] I still
[1:05:23] feel
[1:05:24] like
[1:05:24] fits
[1:05:24] within
[1:05:24] that
[1:05:25] world
[1:05:25] unlike
[1:05:25] here
Elliott Kalan
[1:05:25] the
[1:05:26] I'm just
[1:05:27] saying
[1:05:27] Illumina
[1:05:28] Nope
[1:05:28] basically
[1:05:28] the same
[1:05:28] movie
[1:05:29] anyway
[1:05:29] continue
[1:05:29] yeah
[1:05:30] just as
Stuart Wellington
[1:05:32] good
[1:05:32] okay
[1:05:34] they
[1:05:35] burst
[1:05:35] into
[1:05:35] a room
[1:05:36] and they
[1:05:36] find
[1:05:36] Tatiana
[1:05:37] strapped
[1:05:38] to a
[1:05:38] table
[1:05:38] being
[1:05:39] like
[1:05:40] overlooked
[1:05:41] by some
[1:05:42] kind of
[1:05:42] alien
[1:05:42] creature
[1:05:43] who they
[1:05:43] immediately
[1:05:44] blast
[1:05:44] and then
[1:05:45] another
[1:05:45] alien
[1:05:45] shows up
[1:05:46] they
[1:05:46] blast
[1:05:46] that
[1:05:47] alien
[1:05:47] they
[1:05:47] know
[1:05:47] how
S3
[1:05:48] use
[1:05:48] those
[1:05:48] guns
[1:05:48] with
Stuart Wellington
[1:05:49] training
[1:05:50] again
[1:05:50] they
[1:05:50] are
[1:05:50] amazing
[1:05:51] couldn't
[1:05:51] even
S3
[1:05:52] close
[1:05:52] the
[1:05:52] gate
[1:05:53] your
[1:05:53] bar
[1:05:54] two
[1:05:54] nights
[1:05:54] ago
[1:05:56] was
[1:05:56] like
[1:05:56] nobody
[1:05:57] showed
[1:05:57] how
[1:05:58] this
[1:05:58] gotta
[1:05:59] call
[1:05:59] you
[1:05:59] 6am
[1:06:00] let's
[1:06:03] say
Elliott Kalan
[1:06:03] that
[1:06:03] Alex
[1:06:04] during
[1:06:05] what it
[1:06:05] turns
[1:06:05] out
[1:06:05] was
[1:06:06] his
[1:06:06] the
[1:06:06] abductions
[1:06:07] he was
[1:06:07] dreaming
[1:06:07] about
[1:06:07] maybe
[1:06:08] they
[1:06:08] trained
[1:06:08] him
[1:06:09] the
[1:06:09] use
[1:06:09] this
[1:06:09] alien
[1:06:10] weaponry
[1:06:11] some
[1:06:11] point
Stuart Wellington
[1:06:12] realize
[1:06:13] this
[1:06:13] point
[1:06:13] now
[1:06:13] reunited
[1:06:14] with
[1:06:14] Tatiana
[1:06:14] that
[1:06:15] Alex
[1:06:15] has
[1:06:16] had
[1:06:16] the
[1:06:16] same
[1:06:16] dreams
[1:06:17] because
[1:06:18] also
[1:06:19] was
[1:06:19] being
[1:06:20] abducted
[1:06:21] and
Elliott Kalan
[1:06:21] that's
[1:06:21] where
[1:06:22] they
[1:06:22] met
[1:06:22] and
[1:06:22] that's
[1:06:23] why
[1:06:23] they
[1:06:23] have
[1:06:23] such
[1:06:24] deep
[1:06:24] and
[1:06:24] abiding
[1:06:25] love
[1:06:25] clearly
[1:06:26] strong
[1:06:26] connection
[1:06:26] like
Stuart Wellington
[1:06:27] she's
[1:06:27] his
[1:06:28] sensi
[1:06:28] girl
[1:06:28] that's
[1:06:31] why
[1:06:31] they
[1:06:31] have
[1:06:31] such
[1:06:31] strong
[1:06:31] connection
[1:06:32] that's
[1:06:32] why
[1:06:32] Delilah
[1:06:33] will
[1:06:33] never
[1:06:33] be able
[1:06:34] interrupt
[1:06:34] that
[1:06:34] connection
[1:06:34] which
[1:06:35] perfect
[1:06:35] because
[1:06:36] she
[1:06:36] falls
[1:06:36] off
[1:06:37] railing
[1:06:38] and
[1:06:38] aliens
[1:06:38] drag her
[1:06:39] I felt
Dan McCoy
[1:06:40] so bad
[1:06:40] for this
[1:06:41] character
[1:06:41] who got
[1:06:42] roped
[1:06:43] into this
[1:06:43] dumbass
[1:06:44] alien
[1:06:45] hunter
[1:06:45] and
[1:06:46] dies
[1:06:46] she's
[1:06:48] just
S3
[1:06:48] trying to
[1:06:48] stand
[1:06:49] by her
[1:06:49] man
[1:06:49] and
[1:06:50] then
[1:06:51] all
[1:06:51] of a
[1:06:52] sudden
[1:06:52] see
[1:06:52] her
[1:06:52] spinal
[1:06:53] column
Stuart Wellington
[1:06:54] should
[1:06:55] have
[1:06:56] been
[1:06:56] blonder
Elliott Kalan
[1:06:57] sensi
[1:06:58] sensi
[1:06:58] so I guess
[1:06:59] if that's
[1:06:59] the linked
[1:07:00] and it's
[1:07:00] like
[1:07:00] special
[1:07:01] extraterrestrial
[1:07:02] neurological
[1:07:03] super
[1:07:05] yep
[1:07:06] yeah
S3
[1:07:07] okay
[1:07:07] yep
[1:07:08] you got
[1:07:09] oh wait
[1:07:09] can I
[1:07:09] can I
[1:07:10] give the
[1:07:11] George
[1:07:11] exposition
[1:07:12] I wrote
[1:07:12] this fully
[1:07:13] out
[1:07:14] oh yeah
[1:07:14] yeah
[1:07:14] so it
[1:07:15] says
[1:07:15] there's
[1:07:16] a blip
[1:07:16] where you
[1:07:17] see them
[1:07:17] covered
[1:07:17] in goo
[1:07:18] holding
[1:07:19] hands
[1:07:20] and then
[1:07:20] it cuts
[1:07:21] back
[1:07:21] and George
[1:07:22] says
[1:07:22] it all
[1:07:23] makes sense
[1:07:24] both
[1:07:24] of y'all
[1:07:25] are connected
[1:07:25] to each
[1:07:26] other
[1:07:26] that's
[1:07:27] how you
[1:07:27] were
[1:07:27] miraculously
[1:07:28] able to
[1:07:29] find her
[1:07:29] both
[1:07:30] you guys
[1:07:31] having
[1:07:31] nightmares
[1:07:31] about the
[1:07:32] same
[1:07:32] place
[1:07:33] it all
[1:07:34] adds up
[1:07:35] it does
Elliott Kalan
[1:07:36] all add up
[1:07:38] they're like
[1:07:39] we need a line
[1:07:39] of dialogue
[1:07:40] that gets
[1:07:40] across how
[1:07:40] this all
[1:07:41] adds up
[1:07:41] and then
[1:07:43] they split
S3
[1:07:43] it with
[1:07:44] Tatiana
[1:07:44] who then
[1:07:45] says
[1:07:45] because you
[1:07:46] were also
[1:07:47] abducted
[1:07:48] by aliens
Stuart Wellington
[1:07:49] yeah
[1:07:50] because when
[1:07:51] we first
[1:07:52] started seeing
[1:07:52] them covered
[1:07:52] in goop
[1:07:53] them like
[1:07:53] wait a minute
[1:07:54] did I miss
[1:07:54] something
[1:07:55] and no
[1:07:56] I guess
[1:07:56] we all
[1:07:57] missed
[1:07:57] something
[1:07:57] we missed
[1:07:58] the signs
[1:07:59] were there
[1:08:00] all along
[1:08:00] yeah I missed
[1:08:01] Delilah
[1:08:01] yep
[1:08:03] Delilah
[1:08:04] unfortunately
[1:08:04] gets her
[1:08:05] spine ripped
[1:08:06] out
[1:08:06] well she
[1:08:08] shouldn't have
[1:08:08] wished that
[1:08:09] another girl
S3
[1:08:09] would disappear
[1:08:10] yeah subzero
[1:08:11] style right
[1:08:12] I think so
[1:08:12] yeah
[1:08:13] yeah that's
[1:08:13] some haze code
[1:08:14] stuff
[1:08:14] being like
[1:08:15] if you wish
[1:08:16] another girl's
[1:08:16] gonna disappear
[1:08:17] you will have
[1:08:18] your spinal column
[1:08:19] exposed
[1:08:19] that's the rule
[1:08:20] okay so they
[1:08:21] run through the
[1:08:21] base
[1:08:22] yep
[1:08:22] they're being
[1:08:22] pursued by
[1:08:23] yelling aliens
Elliott Kalan
[1:08:24] the aliens
[1:08:25] they shoot
[1:08:25] are they the
[1:08:26] same kinds
[1:08:26] of aliens
[1:08:27] the aliens
[1:08:27] that are chasing
[1:08:28] them
[1:08:28] I couldn't tell
[1:08:29] if it was
[1:08:30] if they were
[1:08:30] the same
[1:08:31] or different
[1:08:31] because the
[1:08:32] ones that are
[1:08:32] chasing them
[1:08:32] are very
[1:08:33] clearly like
[1:08:33] they look like
[1:08:34] kind of like
[1:08:34] the xenomorph
[1:08:35] a little bit
[1:08:36] kind of like
[1:08:36] venoms
[1:08:37] exactly
[1:08:38] they've got
[1:08:38] long tongues
[1:08:39] and stuff
[1:08:39] but the ones
[1:08:40] that they shoot
[1:08:41] I thought
[1:08:41] that they
[1:08:41] looked a little
[1:08:42] different
[1:08:42] and I could
[1:08:42] buy it
[1:08:43] if there's
[1:08:43] the scientist
[1:08:44] aliens
[1:08:45] and their
[1:08:45] enforcer
[1:08:46] you know
[1:08:46] aliens
[1:08:47] but from that
[1:08:48] point on
[1:08:48] all we see
[1:08:48] are the
[1:08:49] venom
[1:08:49] xenomorph
[1:08:50] types
[1:08:50] which
[1:08:50] again
[1:08:51] I don't
[1:08:52] see them
[1:08:52] as being
[1:08:52] the kind
[1:08:53] that can
[1:08:53] build a
[1:08:54] spaceship
[1:08:54] they don't
[1:08:54] even have
[1:08:54] clothes
[1:08:55] but they're
S3
[1:08:56] like spinning
[1:08:57] triangles
[1:08:57] in their
[1:08:58] hands
[1:08:58] you know
[1:08:58] like
[1:08:59] there's a
[1:08:59] shot
[1:09:00] of this
[1:09:00] huge
[1:09:01] alien
[1:09:02] it seemed
[1:09:02] I don't
[1:09:03] know
[1:09:03] maybe the
[1:09:03] proportions
[1:09:04] were just
[1:09:04] off
[1:09:04] but it
[1:09:04] seemed
[1:09:05] enormous
[1:09:05] this alien
[1:09:06] just sort
[1:09:07] of like
[1:09:07] levitating
[1:09:08] something
[1:09:08] in its palm
[1:09:09] and I was
[1:09:10] like
[1:09:10] why does
[1:09:10] that guy
[1:09:11] need a
[1:09:11] land rover
[1:09:12] if he can
[1:09:12] do that
[1:09:13] can't he
[1:09:13] just
Dan McCoy
[1:09:14] sort of
S3
[1:09:15] get there
[1:09:15] Elliot
[1:09:16] is it
Dan McCoy
[1:09:16] more advanced
[1:09:17] to have
[1:09:17] clothes
[1:09:18] come on
[1:09:18] let's all
[1:09:19] get naked
[1:09:19] right now
[1:09:20] just do it
[1:09:20] I knew
[1:09:22] I was here
[1:09:22] for a
[1:09:23] so we
Stuart Wellington
[1:09:26] got
[1:09:27] so they
[1:09:28] run through
[1:09:29] the base
[1:09:29] they find
[1:09:30] a room
[1:09:30] that like
[1:09:30] a decontamination
[1:09:32] chamber
[1:09:32] that has a
[1:09:33] bunch of
[1:09:34] like spacesuits
[1:09:34] that all fit
[1:09:35] them perfectly
[1:09:35] they put
[1:09:36] those spacesuits
[1:09:37] and then
[1:09:38] I think
[1:09:38] they like
[1:09:39] teleport
[1:09:40] to another
[1:09:41] room
[1:09:41] yeah
Elliott Kalan
[1:09:43] I can't
[1:09:44] remember
[1:09:44] all the
Stuart Wellington
[1:09:45] mechanics
[1:09:45] then they
[1:09:46] walk outside
[1:09:47] and they're
[1:09:48] it seems
[1:09:48] like they're
[1:09:49] on some
[1:09:49] kind of
[1:09:49] alien desert
[1:09:50] planet
Elliott Kalan
[1:09:50] it doesn't
[1:09:52] look that
[1:09:52] different
[1:09:53] from the
[1:09:53] Moroccan desert
[1:09:54] they were
[1:09:54] just in
[1:09:54] but they
[1:09:55] are clearly
[1:09:55] talking about
[1:09:56] it as a
[1:09:56] different
[1:09:56] planet
[1:09:57] and George
[1:09:57] is like
[1:09:58] low oxygen
[1:09:59] don't take
[1:09:59] your helmets
[1:09:59] off
Stuart Wellington
[1:10:00] and then
[1:10:01] they run
[1:10:01] and they're
[1:10:02] being pursued
[1:10:03] and I think
[1:10:03] they go into
[1:10:04] another alien
[1:10:05] base
[1:10:05] that's on
[1:10:06] this planet
[1:10:07] and then
[1:10:07] they start
[1:10:08] shooting
[1:10:09] describing
[1:10:09] a video game
[1:10:10] level
[1:10:10] I mean
Dan McCoy
[1:10:11] it's all
[1:10:11] just a bunch
[1:10:13] action
[1:10:13] that doesn't
[1:10:14] really
[1:10:14] add up
[1:10:15] to anything
Stuart Wellington
[1:10:15] and then
[1:10:15] George gets
[1:10:16] shot
[1:10:17] and he
[1:10:17] falls down
[1:10:18] and he
[1:10:18] bleeds a lot
[1:10:19] and they're
[1:10:19] like we're
[1:10:20] all gonna
[1:10:20] die here
[1:10:21] and then
[1:10:21] they keep
[1:10:22] running
[1:10:22] and then
[1:10:23] somehow
[1:10:24] Patricia
[1:10:25] like breaks
[1:10:25] her leg
[1:10:26] and then
[1:10:26] an alien
[1:10:27] breaks her
[1:10:27] neck
[1:10:28] and I'm
[1:10:28] like oh
[1:10:29] that's
[1:10:29] unwarranted
[1:10:30] and then
[1:10:31] that seems
[1:10:31] like
Elliott Kalan
[1:10:31] that seems
[1:10:32] like
[1:10:32] an unnecessary
[1:10:34] and also
[1:10:35] mean way
[1:10:35] for the
[1:10:36] alien
[1:10:36] to kill
[1:10:36] her
[1:10:36] to snap
[1:10:37] her neck
[1:10:38] seems like
[1:10:38] what is
[1:10:39] this
[1:10:39] come on
[1:10:39] what's
[1:10:39] going on
Stuart Wellington
[1:10:40] and then
[1:10:40] Tatiana
[1:10:41] and Alex
[1:10:42] end up in
[1:10:43] the desert
[1:10:44] surrounded by
[1:10:45] evil aliens
[1:10:46] and then
[1:10:47] what they
[1:10:47] like
[1:10:48] explode
[1:10:48] or something
[1:10:48] there's
Elliott Kalan
[1:10:52] like a
[1:10:52] chase
[1:10:54] they have
[1:10:55] like a
[1:10:55] Humvee chase
[1:10:55] they have
[1:10:56] a Humvee chase
S3
[1:10:56] which is
[1:10:57] hinted at
[1:10:58] in the first
[1:10:58] moment of
[1:10:59] the film
[1:11:00] right
[1:11:00] we finally
[1:11:01] get the
[1:11:01] resolution
[1:11:02] of what
[1:11:03] that scene
[1:11:03] is about
[1:11:04] with the
[1:11:04] little
[1:11:04] dinosaur
[1:11:05] lizard
[1:11:05] guy
[1:11:06] oh that's
[1:11:06] right
[1:11:06] in the very
Elliott Kalan
[1:11:07] opening
[1:11:07] of the movie
[1:11:07] we're on
[1:11:08] that
[1:11:08] alien
[1:11:09] planet
[1:11:09] and we
[1:11:09] see
[1:11:09] someone
[1:11:10] drive up
[1:11:10] a little
[1:11:10] car
[1:11:11] and there's
[1:11:11] like
[1:11:11] he finds
[1:11:11] a broken
[1:11:12] phone
[1:11:12] and
[1:11:13] they're
Dan McCoy
[1:11:13] surrounded
[1:11:14] and they
[1:11:14] take their
[1:11:15] masks off
[1:11:16] to kiss
[1:11:17] even though
[1:11:17] it's a
[1:11:17] low oxygen
[1:11:18] planet
[1:11:19] and they
[1:11:19] kiss
[1:11:19] and then
[1:11:20] like
[1:11:20] it's sort
[1:11:23] of unclear
[1:11:24] what happens
[1:11:25] whether
[1:11:25] the very
[1:11:27] end is
[1:11:27] like
[1:11:28] just like
[1:11:28] a fantasy
[1:11:29] happy ending
[1:11:31] like they're
[1:11:32] like
[1:11:32] they appear
[1:11:33] to be back
[1:11:33] on earth
[1:11:34] kissing
[1:11:34] together
[1:11:35] that could
[1:11:37] be like
[1:11:37] them
[1:11:38] you know
[1:11:39] fantasy
[1:11:39] dying
[1:11:40] moments
[1:11:41] or maybe
[1:11:42] they get
[1:11:42] zapped
[1:11:43] back to
[1:11:43] earth
[1:11:43] somehow
[1:11:44] in that
[1:11:44] moment
[1:11:44] like it's
[1:11:45] it's
[1:11:45] unclear
[1:11:46] I thought
[1:11:47] they got
[1:11:47] zapped
[1:11:47] back
S3
[1:11:47] to earth
[1:11:48] you know
[1:11:48] because
[1:11:48] she's been
[1:11:49] abducted
[1:11:49] a ton
[1:11:50] which
[1:11:50] for somebody
[1:11:51] who's been
[1:11:51] abducted
[1:11:51] a ton
[1:11:52] that girl's
[1:11:52] got a lot
[1:11:53] of quit
[1:11:53] in her
[1:11:54] you know
[1:11:54] what I mean
[1:11:55] she's very
[1:11:57] much
[1:11:57] I'm
[1:11:58] piecing out
[1:11:59] this hurts
[1:11:59] take off
[1:12:00] your helmet
[1:12:01] so I can
[1:12:01] stroke your
[1:12:02] face
[1:12:02] and then
[1:12:03] she's like
[1:12:04] where's the beard
Stuart Wellington
[1:12:05] I'm missing
[1:12:05] the giant beard
[1:12:06] I heard about
Elliott Kalan
[1:12:07] you would look
[1:12:07] good with a beard
[1:12:08] have you ever
[1:12:08] thought about
[1:12:09] that
[1:12:09] you're right
Stuart Wellington
[1:12:11] they are in
[1:12:11] Malibu at the
[1:12:12] end
[1:12:12] I've forgotten
[1:12:13] doesn't she have
[1:12:14] like a big
[1:12:14] dumb hat
[1:12:16] that's how you
[1:12:17] know it's Malibu
Dan McCoy
[1:12:17] either way
[1:12:20] I can't decide
[1:12:20] which ending
[1:12:21] annoys me more
[1:12:22] whether like
[1:12:23] these two
[1:12:23] bland lovers
[1:12:24] survive
[1:12:25] having killed
[1:12:26] their friends
[1:12:27] who were dumb
[1:12:28] enough to follow
[1:12:29] them on this
[1:12:30] adventure
[1:12:30] or everyone
[1:12:32] dies and the
[1:12:33] movie has
[1:12:33] even less of a
[1:12:34] point than it
[1:12:35] already has
Elliott Kalan
[1:12:35] well Dan
[1:12:36] did you watch
[1:12:37] the mid-credits
[1:12:37] scene or no
[1:12:38] speaking of points
Dan McCoy
[1:12:39] I did see the
[1:12:39] mid-credits scene
[1:12:40] I don't know
[1:12:41] whether Stuart did
[1:12:42] so first off
[1:12:43] before we get
[1:12:44] to a mid-credits
[1:12:45] scene which of
Stuart Wellington
[1:12:45] course I did
[1:12:46] not watch
[1:12:46] there is a
[1:12:48] there is a
[1:12:50] after this
[1:12:51] final moment
[1:12:52] in Malibu
[1:12:52] we cut to
[1:12:53] text on the
[1:12:54] screen
[1:12:54] this was
Elliott Kalan
[1:12:56] this is
[1:12:57] maybe this is
[1:12:58] my favorite
[1:12:58] moment
[1:12:58] this is the
[1:12:59] moment that
[1:12:59] we went
[1:12:59] no what
[1:13:01] I said that
[1:13:01] out loud
[1:13:02] it made me
[1:13:02] so happy
Stuart Wellington
[1:13:03] text on the
[1:13:04] screen explaining
[1:13:05] the phenomena
[1:13:06] of alien
[1:13:07] abductions
[1:13:08] and how there's
[1:13:09] been so many
[1:13:09] but so many
[1:13:10] go unreported
[1:13:11] because of the
[1:13:11] potential stigma
[1:13:12] it is
[1:13:13] associated with it
Elliott Kalan
[1:13:14] it is estimated
[1:13:15] that one out of
[1:13:16] every 200
[1:13:17] people has been
[1:13:18] abducted by aliens
[1:13:19] yeah
[1:13:19] one out of
[1:13:20] every 200
[1:13:21] that is
[1:13:22] bonkers
[1:13:22] that means that
[1:13:25] many people you
[1:13:26] know have been
[1:13:27] abducted by aliens
[1:13:28] many of the people
[1:13:28] listening to this
[1:13:29] podcast have
[1:13:30] been abducted by
[1:13:31] aliens
[1:13:31] I was like that
[1:13:32] is an obscenely
[1:13:33] low number
[1:13:34] for that group
[1:13:36] like one if it
[1:13:37] was like one
[1:13:38] out of every
[1:13:38] million people
[1:13:39] I'd be like even
[1:13:39] that seems like
[1:13:40] pretty prevalent
[1:13:41] alien abductions
[1:13:42] but what
[1:13:43] would it be
[1:13:43] 200
[1:13:44] are they abducting
[1:13:45] people constantly
[1:13:46] what's going on
[1:13:47] come on
[1:13:47] yeah they said
S3
[1:13:48] 1.6 million
[1:13:49] in 2022
[1:13:50] yeah
Stuart Wellington
[1:13:51] that's
[1:13:52] that is more
[1:13:53] people than
[1:13:54] are
[1:13:55] like erased
[1:13:56] on that show
[1:13:57] the leftovers
[1:13:58] you know
[1:13:58] yeah
Elliott Kalan
[1:13:59] that's
[1:14:00] at that point
[1:14:00] you're getting
[1:14:01] into
[1:14:01] the kind of
[1:14:02] thinking
[1:14:03] that was in
[1:14:03] like the
[1:14:04] 80s satanic
[1:14:05] panic
[1:14:05] where they were
[1:14:05] like oh yeah
[1:14:06] yeah all these
[1:14:07] preschools all
[1:14:07] across America
[1:14:08] are drugging kids
[1:14:09] and then flying
[1:14:09] them around
[1:14:10] the world
[1:14:10] so they can
[1:14:10] participate in
[1:14:11] sacrifices
[1:14:11] and then bringing
[1:14:12] them back
[1:14:13] so that they can
[1:14:13] be picked up
[1:14:14] at the end of
[1:14:14] the day
[1:14:15] by their parents
[1:14:15] flying them
[1:14:16] around
[1:14:16] that was the
[1:14:17] idea
[1:14:17] that's bonkers
[1:14:18] that was the
[1:14:18] idea yeah
[1:14:18] that they were
[1:14:19] traveling in the
[1:14:19] middle of the day
[1:14:20] they're traveling
[1:14:20] them
[1:14:20] but it's a
[1:14:22] one out of
[1:14:22] every 200
[1:14:23] I was like
[1:14:23] I was
[1:14:24] if it's
[1:14:24] and I started
[1:14:25] feeling bad
[1:14:25] because I was
[1:14:26] like if it's
[1:14:26] one out of
[1:14:27] every 200
[1:14:27] and I didn't
[1:14:28] get abducted
[1:14:29] I feel left
[1:14:29] out
[1:14:30] yeah
[1:14:30] you're just a
[1:14:31] bad hang
[1:14:32] they just
[1:14:33] didn't
[1:14:33] I am a bad
[1:14:34] hang for aliens
[1:14:35] that's true
Dan McCoy
[1:14:36] can you explain
[1:14:36] this mid-credits
[1:14:37] sequence though
[1:14:37] yeah
[1:14:38] I didn't see
[1:14:38] this what happened
[1:14:39] so by the way
Stuart Wellington
[1:14:40] the credits
[1:14:40] are very much
[1:14:41] like somebody
[1:14:42] took like a
[1:14:43] Canva credits
[1:14:44] program and
[1:14:45] just were like
[1:14:45] hit play
[1:14:46] insert some
[1:14:47] names
[1:14:47] like all the
[1:14:49] images they show
[1:14:50] are not of
[1:14:50] characters from
[1:14:51] the movie
[1:14:51] or of things
[1:14:52] that happened
[1:14:52] in the movie
Elliott Kalan
[1:14:53] no well
[1:14:53] speaking of
[1:14:54] not characters
[1:14:54] in the movie
[1:14:55] and not things
[1:14:55] that happened
[1:14:56] the mid-credits
[1:14:56] scene is less
[1:14:57] it's more of a
[1:14:57] mid-credits joke
[1:14:58] than a scene
[1:15:00] where there's
[1:15:01] a couple
[1:15:01] guys and
[1:15:03] an alien
[1:15:03] sitting in
[1:15:04] like kind of
[1:15:05] large chairs
[1:15:06] and Eric Roberts
[1:15:07] and they're
[1:15:08] sitting there
[1:15:08] and was it
[1:15:09] Eric Roberts
[1:15:10] or just someone
[1:15:10] in Eric Roberts
[1:15:11] wardrobe
[1:15:11] no it was Eric Roberts
[1:15:12] no it was Eric Roberts
[1:15:13] okay
[1:15:13] and some
S3
[1:15:14] T-Mu stormtroopers
Elliott Kalan
[1:15:15] yeah
[1:15:15] wait they could
Stuart Wellington
[1:15:17] afford more
[1:15:18] Eric Roberts
[1:15:19] because this scene
Elliott Kalan
[1:15:20] was shot in the
[1:15:20] daytime and the
[1:15:21] rest of Eric Roberts
[1:15:22] stuff is all
[1:15:22] shot at night
[1:15:23] but they're
[1:15:25] sitting around
[1:15:25] like a grill
[1:15:26] and they're
[1:15:27] mainly just kind
[1:15:27] of hanging out
[1:15:28] and then at one
[1:15:29] point someone
[1:15:29] goes
[1:15:29] who invited
[1:15:30] the alien
[1:15:30] and that's
[1:15:31] the end
[1:15:31] of it
[1:15:31] and I was
[1:15:32] like I don't
[1:15:34] I don't know
[1:15:34] what I'm supposed
[1:15:35] to be getting
[1:15:35] from this
[1:15:35] I guess it's
[1:15:36] supposed to be
[1:15:36] fun or funny
[1:15:37] but I did
[1:15:37] it just
[1:15:38] it felt like
[1:15:38] it so clashed
[1:15:39] with everything
[1:15:40] else the movie
[1:15:40] seemed to be
[1:15:41] trying to do
[1:15:42] you know
Dan McCoy
[1:15:42] before we get
[1:15:44] on to final
[1:15:45] judgments
[1:15:45] I do want to
[1:15:46] as teased
[1:15:47] before
[1:15:47] so this is
[1:15:48] a special
[1:15:49] report from
[1:15:50] Alex Guder
[1:15:50] of Hollywood
[1:15:51] Entertainment
[1:15:51] who Hollywood
[1:15:53] Entertainment
[1:15:53] put together
[1:15:54] the Clifford
[1:15:54] reunion
[1:15:55] we saw at
[1:15:55] BAM
[1:15:56] and mentioned
[1:15:56] in the past
[1:15:57] he was in
[1:15:57] town
[1:15:57] recently with
[1:15:59] some other
[1:15:59] weird
[1:16:00] film programming
[1:16:02] did he give you
Elliott Kalan
[1:16:02] permission to name
[1:16:02] him as your
[1:16:03] source
Dan McCoy
[1:16:03] yes
[1:16:04] I had some
[1:16:06] I hadn't met
[1:16:07] him before
[1:16:08] but he was
[1:16:08] very nice
[1:16:09] had some
[1:16:09] drinks with
[1:16:09] him afterwards
[1:16:10] he was talking
[1:16:11] about
[1:16:11] how far
[1:16:12] did he get
[1:16:12] he was like
[1:16:14] there's this
[1:16:14] movie you should
[1:16:15] and he started
[1:16:16] describing
[1:16:16] that's the
[1:16:17] next movie
[1:16:17] we're literally
[1:16:18] doing
[1:16:18] but he had
[1:16:21] some information
[1:16:22] that I'm going
[1:16:22] to bullet point
[1:16:24] for time
[1:16:24] but so he
[1:16:27] encountered this
[1:16:28] he heard from
[1:16:28] a theater manager
[1:16:29] friend about
[1:16:29] this nutty
[1:16:30] Eric Roberts
[1:16:30] movie
[1:16:31] and the director
[1:16:33] and the director's
[1:16:34] producer slash
[1:16:35] mother had been
[1:16:36] emailing the theater
[1:16:36] with criticism
[1:16:38] about how it
[1:16:39] was being
[1:16:39] promoted
[1:16:39] and like
[1:16:40] nitpicking
[1:16:41] things like
[1:16:41] there were
[1:16:42] photos of
[1:16:42] where the
[1:16:43] posters were
[1:16:44] being displayed
[1:16:44] and stuff
[1:16:45] like that
[1:16:45] and the
[1:16:47] filmmakers
[1:16:48] had started
[1:16:48] sending folks
[1:16:49] to the theater
[1:16:50] to monitor
[1:16:50] whether or not
[1:16:51] the tickets
[1:16:52] sold
[1:16:53] corresponded to
[1:16:53] the number
[1:16:54] of people
[1:16:54] in the theater
[1:16:55] because
[1:16:56] apparently
[1:16:57] they thought
[1:16:59] that their
[1:16:59] box office
[1:16:59] should have
[1:17:00] been higher
[1:17:00] and there's
[1:17:02] more interest
[1:17:02] for this
[1:17:02] out there
[1:17:03] because this
[1:17:04] trailer had
[1:17:05] gone viral
[1:17:05] on TikTok
[1:17:06] and they
[1:17:07] didn't understand
[1:17:07] how that
[1:17:08] hadn't
[1:17:08] converted
[1:17:08] to butts
[1:17:10] in seats
[1:17:10] and Alex
[1:17:13] says that
[1:17:13] when he
[1:17:14] went to see
[1:17:14] the movie
[1:17:14] he said
[1:17:15] two for
[1:17:15] Illumina
[1:17:16] and the
[1:17:16] ticket seller
[1:17:17] was like
[1:17:18] what?
[1:17:19] It was
[1:17:19] taken aback
[1:17:19] and Alex
[1:17:21] said oh
[1:17:21] is it sold
[1:17:22] out?
[1:17:22] And the
[1:17:23] ticket taker
[1:17:24] laughed and
[1:17:24] got serious
[1:17:25] and said wait
[1:17:25] are you here
[1:17:26] with the
[1:17:26] company?
[1:17:26] Because they
[1:17:27] had been
[1:17:27] sending people
[1:17:28] to monitor
[1:17:29] how many
[1:17:30] people were
[1:17:31] in there
[1:17:32] because they're
[1:17:33] like they
[1:17:34] gotta be
[1:17:34] ripping us
[1:17:35] off which
[1:17:35] is what
[1:17:37] is going
[1:17:37] on with
[1:17:38] that aforementioned
[1:17:39] lawsuit.
[1:17:41] And apparently
[1:17:42] the screening
[1:17:44] they saw
[1:17:44] started with
[1:17:45] the electronic
[1:17:46] press kit
[1:17:47] being shown
[1:17:47] and during
[1:17:50] that time
[1:17:50] they were the
[1:17:51] only two
[1:17:52] people in
[1:17:52] the theater
[1:17:52] during that
[1:17:52] time.
[1:17:53] Sure enough
[1:17:53] someone came
[1:17:53] in and
[1:17:54] photographed
[1:17:54] them in
[1:17:55] the theater.
[1:17:56] Awesome.
[1:17:57] Awesome.
[1:17:58] So cool.
[1:17:59] The EPK
[1:18:00] listed someone's
[1:18:01] credits.
[1:18:01] He says he
[1:18:02] can't be sure
[1:18:03] he's remembering
[1:18:03] this correctly
[1:18:04] but thinks
[1:18:04] that the EPK
[1:18:05] listed someone's
[1:18:06] credits as
[1:18:06] having received
[1:18:07] honors at
[1:18:08] their university
[1:18:09] and some
[1:18:10] other credits
[1:18:10] included
[1:18:11] actor since
[1:18:12] age four
[1:18:12] and well
[1:18:13] known model.
[1:18:14] Oh bless.
[1:18:15] And
[1:18:16] afterward he
[1:18:18] monitored
[1:18:18] letterboxes
[1:18:19] and other
[1:18:19] places where
[1:18:21] people put up
[1:18:22] their reviews
[1:18:23] where the
[1:18:24] director was
[1:18:25] getting into
[1:18:25] arguments with
[1:18:26] detractors
[1:18:27] meanwhile
[1:18:28] mysterious
[1:18:29] similar sounding
[1:18:30] positive reviews
[1:18:31] were appearing
[1:18:31] about how
[1:18:32] much better
[1:18:33] this movie
[1:18:33] was than
[1:18:34] the just
[1:18:34] released
[1:18:35] Long Legs
[1:18:36] and like
[1:18:37] why aren't
[1:18:38] why is there
[1:18:38] so much
[1:18:38] focus on
[1:18:39] long legs.
Elliott Kalan
[1:18:40] I didn't
[1:18:40] love Long
[1:18:41] Legs.
[1:18:41] Long Legs
[1:18:42] is a billion
[1:18:42] times better
[1:18:43] than this.
Dan McCoy
[1:18:45] But anyway
[1:18:46] thank you Alex
[1:18:47] for the
[1:18:47] report.
[1:18:50] He guaranteed
[1:18:51] to take the
[1:18:52] heat for us
[1:18:53] if Gina
[1:18:53] McCoy
[1:18:54] sued us.
Elliott Kalan
[1:18:55] I appreciate
[1:18:56] that.
[1:18:57] It seems
[1:18:58] like a
[1:18:58] fair amount
Stuart Wellington
[1:19:00] Oh man
[1:19:02] are we
[1:19:02] going to
[1:19:02] have to
[1:19:02] go in
[1:19:03] front of
[1:19:03] Congress
[1:19:04] and defend
[1:19:04] our podcast?
Elliott Kalan
[1:19:07] You're on
[1:19:08] your own.
[1:19:08] There is no
[1:19:09] defense.
[1:19:09] That's the
[1:19:10] thing.
[1:19:10] I'll have to
[1:19:10] be like
[1:19:11] Congress
[1:19:11] I cannot
[1:19:11] defend
[1:19:12] anything
[1:19:12] about our
[1:19:13] podcast.
[1:19:13] I apologize.
[1:19:14] It certainly
[1:19:16] seems like a
[1:19:16] movie that
[1:19:17] they paid
[1:19:20] someone to
[1:19:21] plant good
[1:19:23] things about
[1:19:24] in places
[1:19:25] or maybe
[1:19:25] they do
[1:19:25] it their
[1:19:26] own.
[1:19:26] Because
[1:19:26] when you
[1:19:27] look it up
[1:19:28] online there's
[1:19:28] two different
[1:19:29] types of
[1:19:29] articles about
[1:19:30] it.
[1:19:30] There are
[1:19:30] reviews which
[1:19:31] are bad
[1:19:32] and then
[1:19:32] there are
[1:19:33] articles about
[1:19:33] like this
[1:19:34] cult
[1:19:35] classic,
[1:19:35] this international
[1:19:36] new cult
[1:19:38] classic that
[1:19:38] it's a
[1:19:39] mind-bending
[1:19:39] story and
[1:19:40] it's like
[1:19:41] alright well
[1:19:42] this feels
[1:19:42] like it's
[1:19:42] straight out
[1:19:43] of a
[1:19:43] publicity
[1:19:44] kit,
[1:19:44] you know
[1:19:44] a press
[1:19:45] kit or
[1:19:45] something
[1:19:45] like that.
[1:19:46] But I
[1:19:46] guess the
[1:19:46] lawsuit
[1:19:46] involves
[1:19:47] that it
[1:19:47] was shown
[1:19:48] on a lot
[1:19:48] fewer
[1:19:48] screens
[1:19:49] than they
[1:19:50] thought it
[1:19:50] should be.
[1:19:51] But I
[1:19:51] gotta say
[1:19:52] to watching
[1:19:52] this movie
[1:19:53] I'm like
[1:19:53] that this
[1:19:53] was shown
[1:19:54] in any
[1:19:54] movie theater
[1:19:55] screens.
[1:19:56] They've
[1:19:56] achieved what
[1:19:57] they wanted
[1:19:57] to achieve.
[1:19:58] Like this
[1:19:58] is everything
[1:19:58] about it
[1:19:59] screams you
[1:20:00] watch this
[1:20:01] on Tubi
[1:20:01] because it's
[1:20:02] got a cool
[1:20:03] thumbnail image
[1:20:03] and then you're
[1:20:04] like what am I
[1:20:04] doing?
[1:20:05] What is this
[1:20:06] thing?
[1:20:06] Yeah or you're
[1:20:07] a bad movie
[1:20:07] sicko like us.
Dan McCoy
[1:20:09] Yeah exactly.
[1:20:11] Yeah speaking
[1:20:11] of bad movie
[1:20:12] sickos there's a
[1:20:13] thing we do in
[1:20:14] the Flophouse
[1:20:14] which is called
[1:20:15] the Final
[1:20:15] Judgments
[1:20:16] where we say
[1:20:17] is this a good
[1:20:18] bad movie
[1:20:19] a bad bad
[1:20:19] movie or a
[1:20:20] movie we
[1:20:20] kind of
[1:20:21] like.
[1:20:22] I honestly
[1:20:23] don't know
[1:20:23] where you guys
[1:20:24] are going to
[1:20:24] go with this.
[1:20:25] I'm going to
[1:20:25] say like for
[1:20:26] me.
[1:20:27] Oh great movie.
Stuart Wellington
[1:20:28] For me.
[1:20:29] Good movie.
[1:20:30] Watching with my
[1:20:31] family tonight.
Dan McCoy
[1:20:31] This is definitely
[1:20:32] a fun one to
[1:20:34] talk about.
[1:20:36] I found the
[1:20:37] energy level of
[1:20:39] this movie to
[1:20:39] be way too
[1:20:40] low for me to
[1:20:41] think it was a
[1:20:42] good bad movie
[1:20:42] at least watching
[1:20:43] it alone.
[1:20:43] I think the term
Dan McCoy
[1:20:43] soporific is for
[1:20:45] a lot of this
[1:20:46] movie.
[1:20:46] Yeah.
[1:20:46] Like Eric
[1:20:47] Roberts definitely
[1:20:48] brings the energy
[1:20:49] this movie should
[1:20:49] have but doesn't
[1:20:51] for most of the
[1:20:52] time.
[1:20:52] So I personally
[1:20:53] am going to go
[1:20:54] ahead and say
[1:20:55] bad bad even
[1:20:55] though it is a
[1:20:56] fun one to
[1:20:57] discuss.
Stuart Wellington
[1:20:59] Stuart why don't
[1:21:00] you.
[1:21:01] Yeah I mean I
[1:21:02] would say this
[1:21:02] verges on what I
[1:21:03] would call a
[1:21:04] good bad movie and
[1:21:05] what we call a
[1:21:06] good bad movie here
[1:21:07] at the Flophouse.
[1:21:08] Thanks for
[1:21:09] separating those two.
[1:21:10] It's literally a
[1:21:10] bad movie that
[1:21:11] is I feel like
[1:21:12] this is I don't I
[1:21:14] feel like there's
[1:21:16] been some conversation
[1:21:17] about whether or
[1:21:17] not this is kind
[1:21:18] of like in the
[1:21:19] vein of something
[1:21:20] like The Room and
[1:21:21] I don't think it's
[1:21:21] quite as silly and
[1:21:23] it also the run
[1:21:24] time is too long
[1:21:24] but it is very
[1:21:26] silly and weird
[1:21:27] and despite having
[1:21:30] some fun moments
[1:21:31] it's it's it's a
[1:21:32] bad this is a bad
[1:21:32] movie.
[1:21:34] I don't think I
[1:21:35] can't imagine there's
[1:21:36] an argument about
[1:21:36] like that people are
[1:21:37] actually discussing
[1:21:38] whether this is a
[1:21:39] good movie but
[1:21:40] it's a question of
[1:21:41] whether or not how
[1:21:41] is this bad enough
[1:21:43] to be a classic
[1:21:44] bad movie.
Elliott Kalan
[1:21:45] Yes I agree to me
[1:21:45] it's it's a bad bad
[1:21:46] movie because it's
[1:21:47] so that it's just
[1:21:48] very slow and I
[1:21:49] found it very dull
[1:21:50] and very like I
[1:21:51] got very sleepy
[1:21:52] while watching it
[1:21:53] like it was a
[1:21:53] very whereas
[1:21:54] your your classic
[1:21:56] The Rooms is
[1:21:57] or Birdemics I
[1:21:58] feel like are a
[1:21:59] constant parade of
[1:22:00] surprises and
[1:22:01] things where you're
[1:22:02] like what is this
[1:22:03] why are they doing
[1:22:04] this wait a minute
[1:22:05] what and there's
[1:22:05] an energy to it
[1:22:06] and it's just
[1:22:07] such a low energy
[1:22:08] movie and like
[1:22:08] more fun to talk
[1:22:09] about than it is
[1:22:10] to watch but
[1:22:11] maybe it'd be more
[1:22:12] fun to watch with
[1:22:12] other people than to
[1:22:13] watch it as I did
[1:22:14] by myself so I
[1:22:16] don't know what do
S3
[1:22:17] you think Ashley?
[1:22:18] Yeah I felt I think
[1:22:19] I'm gonna actually
[1:22:20] come down on good
[1:22:21] bad movie and I
[1:22:22] think when it's
[1:22:22] not the problem
[1:22:24] was actually with
[1:22:25] how it was marketed
[1:22:26] to me if I had
[1:22:27] gone in completely
[1:22:28] blind instead of
[1:22:30] thinking that this
[1:22:31] was about
[1:22:31] I mean you wouldn't
[1:22:32] have been able to
[1:22:32] see the movie at
[1:22:33] all
[1:22:33] that's
[1:22:34] gone in completely
[1:22:35] blind
[1:22:35] but I would have
[1:22:36] had Gino McCoy's
[1:22:37] music pure and
[1:22:38] unfiltered
[1:22:38] it's true
[1:22:39] it's just that
[1:22:40] feeling
[1:22:40] I mean it's all
[1:22:41] vibes but I
[1:22:43] I was so sold on
[1:22:46] the underground
[1:22:46] military base that
[1:22:47] doesn't show up
[1:22:48] until the last 20
[1:22:49] minutes of the film
[1:22:50] if I had sort of
[1:22:52] ascertained from
[1:22:54] the opening scenes
[1:22:55] that this was
[1:22:55] sort of a low
[1:22:58] energy St. Elmo's
[1:22:59] fire for 2024
[1:23:01] where
[1:23:03] St. Elmo's
[1:23:04] crackling ember
[1:23:05] you know
[1:23:06] it's not quite a
[1:23:07] fire yeah
[1:23:07] yeah
[1:23:08] St. Elmo's
[1:23:11] low radiator
[1:23:12] heat
[1:23:12] that I think
[1:23:15] I would have
[1:23:16] been able to
[1:23:16] get behind it
[1:23:17] a little more
[1:23:18] I watched it
[1:23:19] with my husband
[1:23:20] and we did
[1:23:22] have fun
[1:23:23] talking about it
[1:23:24] I also think
[1:23:25] that
[1:23:25] for all the
[1:23:26] low energy
[1:23:27] some of these
[1:23:28] actors are
[1:23:28] working really
[1:23:30] hard to try to
[1:23:31] establish things
[1:23:32] that are not
[1:23:33] on the page
[1:23:34] and there are
[1:23:36] moments where
[1:23:36] I can see
[1:23:38] that they're
[1:23:39] trying to
[1:23:40] build camaraderie
[1:23:41] and relationships
[1:23:42] and so I just
[1:23:44] want to shout out
[1:23:44] to those actors
[1:23:45] because I have
[1:23:46] been in a
[1:23:47] 0% rating
[1:23:49] on Rotten
[1:23:49] Tomatoes movie
[1:23:50] before
Stuart Wellington
[1:23:51] wow
[1:23:52] Inside Man
[1:23:53] the Spike Lee
[1:23:54] movie
S3
[1:23:55] absolutely
[1:23:56] fucking
[1:23:57] not
[1:23:57] we're gonna
Stuart Wellington
[1:23:59] fist fight
S3
[1:23:59] Stuart
[1:24:00] no I love
[1:24:01] that movie
[1:24:01] pause this
[1:24:02] pause this
[1:24:02] no a movie
[1:24:04] called
[1:24:04] An Invisible
[1:24:05] Sign
[1:24:05] starring Jessica
[1:24:06] Alba
[1:24:07] as a math
[1:24:08] teacher
[1:24:08] oh shit
[1:24:08] that sounds
[1:24:09] like a
[1:24:09] feature of
[1:24:10] Wild House
[1:24:10] movie
[1:24:10] I mean
[1:24:11] I would love
[1:24:12] there are some
[1:24:13] also really
[1:24:14] great performances
[1:24:14] in that
[1:24:15] but
[1:24:15] yeah I'm gonna
[1:24:17] go with
[1:24:17] good bad
[1:24:17] okay
[1:24:18] it's a little
[1:24:18] slow
[1:24:19] it's a lot
[1:24:20] slow
[1:24:21] but
[1:24:21] yeah
[1:24:22] but I
[1:24:23] I was
[1:24:24] entertained
[1:24:24] even if
[1:24:27] I said
[1:24:27] wait what
[1:24:28] and rewound
Elliott Kalan
[1:24:29] a lot
[1:24:30] classic phrase
[1:24:31] I mean
[1:24:31] sometimes
[1:24:32] that's the best
[1:24:33] sign in a movie
[1:24:34] like this
[1:24:34] is when you have
[1:24:34] to rewind
[1:24:35] and go like
[1:24:36] what was that
[1:24:36] what
[1:24:36] but other times
[1:24:37] it's like
[1:24:38] I don't understand
[1:24:38] what just happened
[1:24:39] yeah yeah
Stuart Wellington
[1:24:40] I'm like
[1:24:41] damn
[1:24:41] what's that song
[1:24:42] rewind it
[1:24:42] I wanna
[1:24:43] grab the ox cable
[1:24:43] I wanna hear that song
Elliott Kalan
[1:24:44] I gotta hear that
S3
[1:24:46] that sensey girl
[1:24:47] song again
[1:24:47] shout out to that
[1:24:48] elevator song
[1:24:49] that Gino McCoy
[1:24:51] has where
[1:24:52] he's
[1:24:53] where the guy
[1:24:53] hits the button
[1:24:54] it's one of the most
[1:24:55] dramatic moments
[1:24:56] in the movie
[1:24:56] reaches out
[1:24:58] and hits the button
[1:24:59] it's so
[1:25:00] close
[1:25:02] some classical music
[1:25:03] that I did
[1:25:04] Shazam it
[1:25:05] to see if they'd
[1:25:07] spent all their money
[1:25:08] some orchestration
[1:25:10] but nope
[1:25:11] Gino McCoy's
[1:25:12] elevator
[1:25:12] it's all him
[1:25:13] yeah
[1:25:13] musical chameleon

[1:25:23] and
[1:25:23] maybe
[1:25:24] maybe you stopped
[1:25:25] listening for a while
[1:25:26] maybe you never listen

[1:25:28] assuming
[1:25:28] three white guys
[1:25:29] talking for 15 years
[1:25:31] I know where this
[1:25:31] has ended up
[1:25:32] but no
[1:25:34] you would be wrong
[1:25:35] we're as shocked
[1:25:36] as you are
[1:25:36] that we have not
[1:25:37] fallen into
[1:25:38] some sort of
[1:25:39] horrific scandal

[1:25:42] a big crypto thing

[1:25:47] nfts I'm into

[1:28:47] significant
[1:28:48] critical
[1:28:48] and or
[1:28:49] commercial
[1:28:49] flops
[1:28:50] decade
[1:28:50] by decade
[1:28:51] starting in
[1:28:52] the 2000s
[1:28:52] and going
[1:28:53] all the way
[1:28:53] back to
[1:28:54] plan 9
[1:28:55] from outer
[1:28:55] space
[1:28:56] in the
[1:28:56] 1950s
[1:28:58] there's
[1:28:59] presentations
[1:29:00] silly pre-tapes
[1:29:02] a live chat
[1:29:03] all sorts of
[1:29:04] fun
[1:29:04] and you can
[1:29:04] get individual
[1:29:06] tickets for
[1:29:06] seven bucks
[1:29:07] or a price
[1:29:08] break by
[1:29:09] getting a season
[1:29:10] pass to
[1:29:11] six shows
[1:29:12] for $35
[1:29:13] plus
[1:29:14] ticketing fees
[1:29:15] because unfortunately
[1:29:16] we aren't set up
[1:29:17] to handle that
[1:29:17] stuff ourselves
[1:29:18] so if you're
[1:29:19] interested
[1:29:20] go to
[1:29:20] theflophouse.simpleticks.com
[1:29:23] that is T-I-X
[1:29:25] for ticks
[1:29:25] there are tickets
[1:29:26] and more info
[1:29:27] about the season
[1:29:28] at theflophouse.simpleticks.com
[1:29:31] and because we haven't
[1:29:33] mentioned this in a while
[1:29:34] if you go to
[1:29:35] flophousepodcast.com
[1:29:36] you can subscribe
[1:29:37] to our newsletter
[1:29:39] Flop Secrets
[1:29:40] where you can get the
[1:29:41] scoop on what
[1:29:42] we're up to
[1:29:43] as a group
[1:29:43] individually
[1:29:44] as well as
[1:29:45] some additional
[1:29:46] writing from me
[1:29:47] Dan
[1:29:47] sometimes we'll
[1:29:48] answer more
[1:29:49] letters there
[1:29:50] stuff that we
[1:29:51] can't get to
[1:29:51] on the show
[1:29:52] I'll post
[1:29:53] behind the scenes
[1:29:54] stuff
[1:29:54] it's just a good
[1:29:55] way to keep in
[1:29:56] touch
[1:29:56] and we only
[1:29:57] send it
[1:29:58] twice a month
[1:29:59] so hopefully
[1:29:59] no one
[1:30:00] gets bored
[1:30:01] let's
[1:30:02] answer some
[1:30:04] questions
[1:30:05] from listeners
[1:30:07] letters from
[1:30:07] listeners
[1:30:08] wait are they
Elliott Kalan
[1:30:09] letters or
[1:30:10] questions Dan
[1:30:10] I'm confused
Dan McCoy
[1:30:11] well
[1:30:13] usually we call
[1:30:14] this letters
[1:30:15] from listeners
[1:30:15] and I just
[1:30:16] sort of forgot
[1:30:17] what we do
[1:30:17] on the show
[1:30:18] even though
[1:30:19] it's been
[1:30:19] nearly two
[1:30:20] decades
[1:30:21] this first
[1:30:24] I do love
Elliott Kalan
[1:30:24] something I think
[1:30:25] our listeners
[1:30:26] appreciate is
[1:30:27] no matter how
[1:30:27] many years
[1:30:27] we do this
[1:30:28] a refusal
[1:30:29] to take things
[1:30:30] for granted
[1:30:30] and fall
[1:30:30] into habits
[1:30:31] that would
[1:30:32] help us
[1:30:32] to get through
[1:30:33] the show
[1:30:33] and remember
[1:30:34] what's gonna
[1:30:34] happen next
[1:30:35] and what we
[1:30:36] you know
[1:30:36] yeah
[1:30:36] we treat
[1:30:37] every show
[1:30:37] like it's
[1:30:38] our first
[1:30:38] that's beautiful
Dan McCoy
[1:30:39] this first
[1:30:39] one is from
[1:30:40] Michael
[1:30:41] last name
[1:30:41] withheld
[1:30:42] who writes
[1:30:43] dear
[1:30:44] Flophouse
[1:30:44] one of my
[1:30:45] greater concerns
[1:30:46] about the dangers
[1:30:47] of AI
[1:30:47] isn't so much
[1:30:48] about professional
[1:30:49] artists getting
[1:30:50] pushed out
[1:30:51] but that
[1:30:51] amateur artists
[1:30:52] may just decide
[1:30:53] to use AI
[1:30:54] slop
[1:30:55] instead of
[1:30:55] dealing with
[1:30:56] the frustration
[1:30:56] of developing
[1:30:57] their skills
[1:30:58] and working
[1:30:58] through being
[1:30:59] bad at art
[1:31:00] in order to
[1:31:01] become good
[1:31:01] at it
[1:31:02] and that's a shame
[1:31:03] because I like
[1:31:04] a lot of
[1:31:04] amateur art
[1:31:05] and seeing newer
[1:31:06] artists develop
[1:31:07] even if their
[1:31:07] work isn't as
[1:31:08] good as they
[1:31:09] want it to be
[1:31:10] so my question
[1:31:11] for you is
[1:31:11] what are some
[1:31:12] things that you
[1:31:12] like about
[1:31:13] newer artists
[1:31:14] still figuring
[1:31:15] things out
[1:31:16] that's from
[1:31:17] Michael
[1:31:18] last name
[1:31:18] withheld
[1:31:19] and in the
[1:31:21] case of
[1:31:21] movies
[1:31:22] like one of
[1:31:23] the things I
[1:31:24] like and it's
[1:31:25] not necessarily
[1:31:26] like these are
[1:31:27] bad artists
[1:31:28] these are often
[1:31:29] like very
[1:31:30] good artists
[1:31:31] but the early
[1:31:32] work is filled
[1:31:34] with so much
[1:31:35] show-offiness
[1:31:36] almost because
[1:31:37] they don't know
[1:31:39] whether they're
[1:31:39] going to make
[1:31:39] another movie
[1:31:40] so they're like
[1:31:41] every idea
[1:31:42] they've had
[1:31:42] they stick it
[1:31:43] in there
[1:31:43] whether or not
[1:31:44] it is necessarily
[1:31:46] like
[1:31:46] of a piece
[1:31:47] with what
[1:31:47] they're trying
[1:31:48] to do
[1:31:48] and maybe
[1:31:50] later works
[1:31:51] are more
[1:31:52] you know
[1:31:53] quote mature
[1:31:53] but there's so
[1:31:54] much energy
[1:31:55] in a lot of
[1:31:57] early movies
[1:31:58] and that's
[1:31:58] something I
[1:31:59] appreciate
[1:31:59] and I also
[1:32:00] just want to
[1:32:01] say like
[1:32:01] I really
[1:32:02] appreciate the
[1:32:03] like the
[1:32:05] general like
[1:32:05] premise of
[1:32:06] this letter
[1:32:06] because I do
[1:32:07] feel like
[1:32:07] you have to
[1:32:09] be bad
[1:32:10] before you're
[1:32:11] good
[1:32:11] you have to
[1:32:12] embrace being
[1:32:13] bad before
[1:32:13] you're good
[1:32:14] like that's
[1:32:14] one of the
[1:32:15] most important
[1:32:15] things to do
[1:32:16] is like
[1:32:17] know that
[1:32:18] that's just
[1:32:18] part of the
[1:32:19] process
[1:32:19] you're working
[1:32:20] through a lot
[1:32:20] of bad
[1:32:20] stuff to get
[1:32:21] to the good
[1:32:22] and I hope
[1:32:23] that people
[1:32:24] out there
[1:32:24] take that
[1:32:25] to heart
Stuart Wellington
[1:32:25] yeah I mean
[1:32:26] the Flopass
[1:32:27] podcast has
[1:32:28] always been
[1:32:28] kind of
[1:32:29] perfect
[1:32:29] and we've
[1:32:30] never had
[1:32:30] any slip
[1:32:31] em ups
[1:32:31] never
[1:32:31] we've never
[1:32:32] had any
[1:32:33] growing pains
Elliott Kalan
[1:32:34] that's another
[1:32:35] way of saying
[1:32:36] that we have
[1:32:36] not developed
[1:32:37] at all
[1:32:37] over the past
[1:32:38] 17-18 years
[1:32:40] emotionally
[1:32:40] we have
[1:32:42] changed
[1:32:43] there's a lot
Dan McCoy
[1:32:44] of stuff
[1:32:44] I would
[1:32:44] change
Stuart Wellington
[1:32:45] yeah I mean
[1:32:45] like I love
[1:32:46] amateur art
[1:32:47] usually it's
[1:32:48] short films
[1:32:49] that you can
[1:32:49] find on a
[1:32:51] website called
[1:32:51] Pornhub
[1:32:52] and I mainly
[1:32:53] like it when
[1:32:54] you can see
[1:32:54] something in the
[1:32:55] background like
[1:32:55] a cat
[1:32:56] or there's
[1:32:56] one where
[1:32:57] like you
[1:32:58] can see
[1:32:58] like through
[1:33:00] the like
[1:33:00] window to
[1:33:01] the porch
[1:33:02] you can see
[1:33:02] a grill
[1:33:03] and in the
[1:33:04] comments section
[1:33:05] some guy was
[1:33:05] like actually
[1:33:06] that type of
[1:33:07] grill you should
[1:33:07] probably put in
[1:33:08] a garage or
[1:33:09] something
[1:33:09] because I
[1:33:09] can't really
[1:33:09] handle being
[1:33:10] out exposed
[1:33:11] to the
[1:33:11] elements
[1:33:11] it's so
[1:33:12] funny
[1:33:12] I love it
[1:33:13] so much
[1:33:13] I love the
Dan McCoy
[1:33:14] comment section
[1:33:14] on porn
[1:33:15] videos because
[1:33:16] it's either
[1:33:16] like like
[1:33:17] people are
[1:33:17] asking for
[1:33:18] Minecraft
[1:33:18] kind of
[1:33:19] helpful or
[1:33:20] like unrelated
[1:33:21] or it is
[1:33:22] like stuff
[1:33:23] you would
[1:33:23] never want
[1:33:24] to know
[1:33:24] like the
[1:33:24] exact time
[1:33:25] code at
[1:33:25] which someone
[1:33:26] achieved
[1:33:26] orgasm
S3
[1:33:27] right
[1:33:28] here's the
[1:33:29] money shot
[1:33:29] also
[1:33:30] dude have
[1:33:31] you checked
[1:33:31] your thyroid
[1:33:32] it looks
[1:33:33] a little
[1:33:33] like you
[1:33:34] might have
[1:33:35] this condition
[1:33:36] yeah the
Stuart Wellington
[1:33:38] exact time
[1:33:38] code you
[1:33:39] don't record
[1:33:39] the exact
[1:33:40] time code
[1:33:40] you bust
[1:33:40] in case
[1:33:41] you accidentally
[1:33:42] have a child
[1:33:43] and then you're
[1:33:44] going to want
[1:33:44] to tell them
[1:33:44] exactly the
[1:33:45] moment you
[1:33:45] created them
[1:33:46] diary of
[1:33:47] such things
[1:33:48] you need to
Elliott Kalan
[1:33:49] know that
[1:33:49] information so
[1:33:50] you can label
[1:33:50] the ejaculate
[1:33:51] when you put
[1:33:52] it in your
[1:33:52] archives
Dan McCoy
[1:33:53] we took a
[1:33:54] weird turn
Elliott Kalan
[1:33:55] whose fault
[1:33:57] was that
[1:33:58] yours
[1:33:59] Stuart
[1:34:00] I will
[1:34:03] say
[1:34:04] there is
[1:34:05] something
[1:34:05] very exciting
[1:34:05] about seeing
[1:34:06] someone
[1:34:07] clearly
[1:34:07] has
[1:34:07] talent
[1:34:08] but
[1:34:08] maybe
[1:34:08] hasn't
[1:34:09] yet
[1:34:09] gotten
[1:34:10] comfortable
[1:34:10] with
[1:34:10] their
[1:34:11] skill
[1:34:11] that
[1:34:12] they're
[1:34:12] taking
[1:34:12] it for
[1:34:12] granted
[1:34:13] or they're
[1:34:13] not excited
[1:34:14] by it
[1:34:14] anymore
[1:34:14] that they
[1:34:15] are
[1:34:15] often an
[1:34:16] artist's
[1:34:17] early work
[1:34:17] is where
[1:34:17] they are
[1:34:18] trying out
[1:34:18] their ideas
[1:34:19] that are
[1:34:19] new to
[1:34:20] them
[1:34:20] or at
[1:34:20] the very
[1:34:20] least
[1:34:21] they are
[1:34:21] imitating
[1:34:22] old ideas
[1:34:23] in a way
[1:34:23] that is
[1:34:23] bringing
[1:34:24] their own
[1:34:24] flair
[1:34:25] to it
[1:34:25] so there's
[1:34:26] something
[1:34:26] really exciting
[1:34:27] in seeing
[1:34:27] an artist
[1:34:27] develop
[1:34:28] and seeing
[1:34:28] them
[1:34:28] the energy
[1:34:29] and excitement
[1:34:30] of someone
[1:34:30] recognizing
[1:34:31] that they're
[1:34:31] becoming
[1:34:32] their own
[1:34:32] self
[1:34:32] before that
[1:34:34] self
[1:34:34] becomes
[1:34:34] stuck
[1:34:37] static
[1:34:38] just becomes
[1:34:39] what it is
Stuart Wellington
[1:34:40] certainly
[1:34:40] sometimes
[1:34:40] when you're
[1:34:41] seeing
[1:34:41] somebody
[1:34:41] whose
[1:34:43] enthusiasm
[1:34:43] might
[1:34:44] outpace
[1:34:44] their
[1:34:45] skill set
Elliott Kalan
[1:34:46] yeah
[1:34:47] or just
[1:34:48] that they're
[1:34:48] enthusiastic
[1:34:48] there's a
[1:34:49] type of
[1:34:50] it doesn't
[1:34:50] happen to all
[1:34:51] creative
[1:34:51] professionals
[1:34:51] but a lot
[1:34:52] of creative
[1:34:52] professionals
[1:34:52] there's
[1:34:53] that excitement
[1:34:54] of like
[1:34:55] I'm doing
[1:34:55] this thing
[1:34:56] like this
[1:34:56] thing
[1:34:56] that I
[1:34:56] want to
[1:34:57] I'm doing
[1:34:57] before it
[1:34:58] becomes
[1:34:58] a job
[1:34:59] or something
[1:35:00] that they
[1:35:00] can take
[1:35:00] for granted
[1:35:01] oh of course
[1:35:01] I do
[1:35:01] this thing
[1:35:02] this is
[1:35:02] what I do
[1:35:02] you know
[1:35:03] this is the
[1:35:03] craft
[1:35:04] that I
[1:35:04] that I've
[1:35:04] made my
[1:35:05] life
[1:35:05] that is
[1:35:05] the thing
[1:35:06] of like
[1:35:07] I'm so
[1:35:07] excited
[1:35:07] that I'm
[1:35:08] doing this
[1:35:08] craft
[1:35:09] that I've
[1:35:09] wanted to
[1:35:10] and
[1:35:11] there's
[1:35:11] an energy
[1:35:12] to that
[1:35:12] that is
[1:35:12] really
[1:35:12] exciting
[1:35:13] it's
[1:35:13] the kind
[1:35:14] of thing
[1:35:14] that like
[1:35:14] there's
[1:35:15] a lot
[1:35:16] you know
[1:35:17] when you're
[1:35:17] listening to
[1:35:18] punk bands
[1:35:18] like
[1:35:19] the early
[1:35:20] stuff a band
[1:35:20] puts out
[1:35:21] where it's
[1:35:21] like
[1:35:21] they're not
[1:35:22] as good
[1:35:22] as their
[1:35:22] instruments
[1:35:23] but they're
[1:35:23] so excited
[1:35:23] about doing
[1:35:24] what they're
[1:35:24] doing
[1:35:25] you know
[1:35:25] it hasn't
[1:35:26] yet become
[1:35:27] a thing
[1:35:27] that they
[1:35:27] not take
[1:35:28] for granted
[1:35:28] in a bad
[1:35:29] way
[1:35:29] like
[1:35:29] ugh
[1:35:30] this again
[1:35:31] but take
[1:35:31] for granted
[1:35:31] as in
[1:35:32] like
[1:35:32] that thrill
[1:35:34] we might not
[1:35:34] do this
[1:35:34] ever again
[1:35:35] right
[1:35:36] has gone
[1:35:36] away
[1:35:36] yeah
[1:35:36] like
[1:35:37] we may
[1:35:37] never
[1:35:37] be asked
S3
[1:35:37] to do
[1:35:38] this
[1:35:38] and
[1:35:39] you know
[1:35:39] there's
[1:35:39] a correlation
[1:35:40] there's
[1:35:40] this
[1:35:41] ira
[1:35:41] glass
[1:35:42] thing
[1:35:42] that he
[1:35:42] said
[1:35:43] a long
[1:35:43] time
[1:35:43] ago
[1:35:43] about
[1:35:43] how
[1:35:43] people's
[1:35:44] taste
[1:35:45] like
[1:35:46] you have
[1:35:46] like
[1:35:47] artists
[1:35:47] have
[1:35:47] taste
[1:35:48] level
[1:35:48] but
[1:35:48] they're
[1:35:48] not
[1:35:49] going
[1:35:49] hit
[1:35:49] that
[1:35:49] taste
[1:35:50] level
[1:35:50] for a
[1:35:51] while
[1:35:51] but
[1:35:52] your
[1:35:52] work
[1:35:53] not
[1:35:53] good
[1:35:54] your
[1:35:54] taste
[1:35:54] when
[1:35:55] you're
[1:35:55] starting
[1:35:56] out
[1:35:56] and
[1:35:57] enduring
[1:35:58] through
[1:35:58] that
[1:35:59] discomfort
[1:36:05] what
[1:36:06] the
[1:36:06] journey
[1:36:07] for
[1:36:08] the
[1:36:08] work
[1:36:09] think
[1:36:09] it's
[1:36:09] really
[1:36:10] exciting
[1:36:10] love
[1:36:11] working
[1:36:11] with
[1:36:12] first
[1:36:12] time
[1:36:12] filmmakers
[1:36:13] think
[1:36:13] that
[1:36:13] there
[1:36:14] they've
[1:36:15] got
[1:36:15] all
[1:36:15] these
[1:36:15] the
[1:36:16] Harper
[1:36:16] Lee
[1:36:16] kill
[1:36:17] mockingbird
[1:36:17] all
[1:36:18] where
[1:36:18] it's
[1:36:18] like
[1:36:18] they've
[1:36:18] been
[1:36:19] germinating
[1:36:19] this
[1:36:19] idea
[1:36:20] for
[1:36:20] really
[1:36:20] long
[1:36:21] time
[1:36:21] and
[1:36:22] they're
[1:36:22] really
[1:36:23] excited
[1:36:23] get
[1:36:24] out
[1:36:25] there
[1:36:25] but
[1:36:26] they're
[1:36:26] also
[1:36:26] deeply
[1:36:27] collaborative
[1:36:28] and
[1:36:29] some
[1:36:29] well
[1:36:30] some
[1:36:30] them
[1:36:30] are
[1:36:30] deeply
[1:36:31] collaborative
[1:36:31] but
[1:36:32] there's
[1:36:32] also
[1:36:32] the
[1:36:32] sense
[1:36:33] that
[1:36:33] anything
[1:36:35] can
[1:36:35] horse
[1:36:36] you know
[1:36:36] what
[1:36:36] mean
[1:36:37] you're
[1:36:37] sort
[1:36:37] like
[1:36:37] cobbling
[1:36:38] together
[1:36:39] the
[1:36:41] often
[1:36:42] the
[1:36:43] low
[1:36:43] budget
[1:36:44] circumstances
[1:36:44] of the
[1:36:44] movie
[1:36:45] you're
[1:36:45] trying
[1:36:45] make
[1:36:45] with
[1:36:45] the
[1:36:45] idea
[1:36:46] that
[1:36:46] you've
[1:36:46] had
[1:36:46] your
[1:36:46] head
[1:36:47] for
[1:36:47] years
[1:36:48] and
[1:36:48] really
[1:36:49] love
[1:36:50] how
[1:36:50] that
[1:36:51] works
[1:36:51] because
[1:36:51] they're
[1:36:51] not
[1:36:51] you know
[1:36:52] most
[1:36:53] these
[1:36:53] films
[1:36:53] low
[1:36:55] budget
[1:36:55] first
[1:36:55] time
[1:36:55] filmmaker
[1:37:00] like
[1:37:01] they're
[1:37:01] borrowing
[1:37:02] a chicken
[1:37:03] restaurant
[1:37:04] that they
[1:37:04] worked in
[1:37:05] and they're
[1:37:06] filming
[1:37:07] there
[1:37:07] a movie
[1:37:08] I did
[1:37:08] compliance
[1:37:09] with
[1:37:09] Craig
[1:37:09] Zobel
[1:37:10] like
[1:37:10] his
[1:37:10] second
[1:37:10] film
[1:37:11] literally
[1:37:12] worked
[1:37:13] chicken
[1:37:13] restaurant
[1:37:13] overnight
[1:37:14] all
[1:37:15] overnights
[1:37:16] two
[1:37:17] weeks
[1:37:17] overnights
[1:37:18] right
[1:37:18] because
[1:37:18] they
[1:37:19] would
[1:37:19] shut
[1:37:19] down
[1:37:20] the
[1:37:20] KFC
[1:37:21] would
[1:37:21] come
[1:37:22] and
[1:37:22] change
[1:37:22] the
[1:37:23] signage
[1:37:23] and
[1:37:24] then
[1:37:24] would
[1:37:24] shoot
[1:37:25] until
Stuart Wellington
[1:37:26] did
[1:37:26] you
[1:37:26] change
[1:37:27] tub
[1:37:27] Popeye's
[1:37:27] yeah
[1:37:28] exactly
S3
[1:37:30] Bojangles
[1:37:32] actually
[1:37:32] yeah
Dan McCoy
[1:37:32] I love
[1:37:33] this
[1:37:33] rolling
[1:37:34] reveal
[1:37:35] movies
[1:37:35] that
[1:37:35] I've
[1:37:35] seen
[1:37:36] you
[1:37:36] unawares
[1:37:37] in the
[1:37:38] past
[1:37:38] see
[1:37:40] now
[1:37:40] you'll
[1:37:40] see it
[1:37:41] I'm
S3
[1:37:41] ruining
[1:37:41] people's
[1:37:42] suspension
[1:37:42] disbelief
[1:37:43] left
[1:37:43] right
[1:37:43] and
[1:37:44] center
[1:37:44] it's
[1:37:45] really
Elliott Kalan
[1:37:45] exciting
[1:37:45] I like the
[1:37:46] non-rolling
[1:37:46] reveal of
[1:37:47] Dan
[1:37:47] having not
[1:37:48] done
[1:37:48] research
[1:37:49] sure
[1:37:51] I know
Dan McCoy
[1:37:53] some of
[1:37:54] I knew
[1:37:54] Gilded Age
[1:37:55] and Black
[1:37:56] Klansman
[1:37:56] Dan
[1:37:57] I'm just
[1:37:57] giving you
Elliott Kalan
[1:37:57] the kind
[1:37:58] of roast
[1:37:58] that you're
[1:37:58] going to be
[1:37:59] giving to
[1:37:59] people
[1:37:59] when they
[1:37:59] pay you
[1:38:00] for it
[1:38:00] for their
[1:38:00] kink
Dan McCoy
[1:38:01] yeah
[1:38:01] let's do
[1:38:03] one more
[1:38:04] letter here
[1:38:05] this is from
[1:38:06] Anne Marie
[1:38:07] last name
[1:38:08] withheld
[1:38:08] who writes
[1:38:08] my husband
[1:38:10] and I
[1:38:10] were recently
[1:38:11] watching a
[1:38:11] mystery show
[1:38:12] which prominently
[1:38:13] featured a woman
[1:38:13] being pregnant
[1:38:14] as a plot
[1:38:15] point
[1:38:15] evidenced by
[1:38:17] her vomiting
[1:38:18] in earshot
[1:38:19] of a witness
[1:38:19] in movies
Elliott Kalan
[1:38:21] and TVs
[1:38:22] a woman
[1:38:22] vomits
[1:38:22] they must be
[1:38:23] pregnant
[1:38:23] yeah
Dan McCoy
[1:38:23] I was ready
[1:38:24] to be
[1:38:24] angry
[1:38:25] vomiting a
Elliott Kalan
[1:38:25] tiny spot
[1:38:26] of blood
[1:38:26] into a
[1:38:27] handkerchief
[1:38:27] in which
[1:38:27] case
[1:38:27] they have
[1:38:28] consumption
Dan McCoy
[1:38:28] yeah
[1:38:28] oh man
[1:38:29] is that vomit
[1:38:30] I was ready
Stuart Wellington
[1:38:32] to be
[1:38:32] it's a real
[1:38:33] nurse holiday
Dan McCoy
[1:38:33] I was ready
[1:38:35] to be angry
[1:38:35] on Stuart's
[1:38:36] behalf
[1:38:36] at the laziness
[1:38:37] of this trope
[1:38:38] until the end
[1:38:38] of the episode
[1:38:39] which featured
[1:38:40] a twist
[1:38:40] where it turned
[1:38:41] out that she
[1:38:41] wasn't pregnant
[1:38:42] at all
[1:38:42] she'd just
[1:38:43] gotten such
[1:38:44] horrific
[1:38:44] and disgusting
[1:38:45] personal news
[1:38:46] she could only
[1:38:47] react by throwing
[1:38:48] have you ever
[1:38:50] had a movie
[1:38:51] or TV show
[1:38:52] subvert a trope
[1:38:53] you hated
[1:38:53] into something
[1:38:54] much more
[1:38:55] interesting
[1:38:55] love Anne-Marie
[1:38:57] like I know
[1:38:59] there's
[1:38:59] better
[1:39:01] answers out
[1:39:02] there
[1:39:02] but for some
[1:39:02] reason what's
[1:39:03] coming into my
[1:39:04] head is like
[1:39:04] a movie that's
[1:39:06] all about
[1:39:07] subverting a trope
[1:39:07] when I first saw
[1:39:09] My Best Friend's
[1:39:11] Wedding
[1:39:11] I really appreciated
[1:39:12] that it was not
[1:39:15] a movie that
[1:39:15] like cavalierly
[1:39:16] had a hero
[1:39:17] ruining a wedding
[1:39:19] and we're all
[1:39:20] supposed to root
[1:39:20] for them
[1:39:21] like over the
[1:39:22] course of the
[1:39:22] movie
[1:39:23] you're like
[1:39:24] oh okay
[1:39:25] no no
[1:39:26] this is not
[1:39:26] good behavior
[1:39:27] that's going on
[1:39:28] and I really
[1:39:29] appreciated that
Stuart Wellington
[1:39:30] America's sweetheart
[1:39:30] in that role
[1:39:31] that's true
[1:39:32] I think
[1:39:34] the first one
[1:39:35] that comes to
[1:39:35] mind
[1:39:35] is the
[1:39:37] I think
[1:39:38] the original
[1:39:39] might be in
[1:39:39] there as well
[1:39:40] but in the
[1:39:40] Gore Verbinski
[1:39:41] The Ring
[1:39:42] the moment where
[1:39:43] the character
[1:39:45] has worked so
[1:39:45] hard to try
[1:39:46] and appease
[1:39:46] this ghost
[1:39:47] and the
[1:39:48] this is a
[1:39:49] spoiler
[1:39:49] but her son
[1:39:50] is like
[1:39:50] why did you
[1:39:51] help her
[1:39:51] like I love
Dan McCoy
[1:39:52] that reaction
[1:39:53] where he's like
Stuart Wellington
[1:39:54] why did you
[1:39:54] do that mom
[1:39:55] it's so funny
S3
[1:39:56] I think for me
[1:39:58] it's a whole
[1:39:59] subset
[1:40:01] the
[1:40:02] Kathy Bates
[1:40:03] has actually
[1:40:04] made this
[1:40:05] the latter part
[1:40:06] of her career
[1:40:07] which is the
[1:40:08] middle aged
[1:40:09] invisible woman
[1:40:10] being utilized
[1:40:12] in a way
[1:40:13] that's really
[1:40:13] spectacular
[1:40:14] we first
[1:40:15] we first
S3
[1:40:15] see it
[1:40:15] six feet
[1:40:16] under
[1:40:16] where
[1:40:17] Kathy Bates
[1:40:18] character
[1:40:18] shoplifts
[1:40:20] and they
[1:40:21] ask her
[1:40:22] why
[1:40:22] and she's
[1:40:23] like
[1:40:23] because
[1:40:23] I realized
[1:40:24] that middle
[1:40:25] aged fat
[1:40:25] women are
[1:40:26] invisible
[1:40:26] invisible
[1:40:27] and so
[1:40:28] I just
[1:40:28] started
[1:40:28] deciding
[1:40:30] some
[1:40:30] shit
[1:40:31] you know
[1:40:31] I'm gonna
[1:40:31] pull some
[1:40:32] shenanigans
[1:40:33] and she
[1:40:34] goes
[1:40:34] and then
[1:40:34] they make
[1:40:35] the revamp
[1:40:37] of Matlock
[1:40:37] all about
[1:40:38] that
[1:40:39] this idea
[1:40:40] but it
[1:40:42] hearkens
[1:40:42] the
[1:40:43] 60s
[1:40:44] 70s
[1:40:44] Ruth
[1:40:45] Gordon
[1:40:45] old lady
[1:40:47] shenanigans
Elliott Kalan
[1:40:48] where she can
[1:40:49] get away
[1:40:49] with whatever
[1:40:50] because she's
[1:40:50] an old lady
[1:40:51] right
[1:40:51] exactly
[1:40:52] and then she
[1:40:53] like raps
[1:40:54] and you're
[1:40:54] like okay
[1:40:55] yeah she raps
Dan McCoy
[1:40:57] about Rosemary's
[1:40:58] baby
[1:40:58] and it would
[1:41:01] go something
[1:41:02] like
[1:41:02] Elliot
[1:41:04] don't encourage
[1:41:05] this
[1:41:06] who did
Elliott Kalan
[1:41:06] she lie
[1:41:07] just look
[1:41:07] at those
[1:41:07] eyes
[1:41:08] that kind
[1:41:08] of stuff
[1:41:08] yeah
[1:41:09] yeah
[1:41:09] yeah
[1:41:10] I knew
[1:41:10] he'd
[1:41:11] do it
[1:41:12] my name
[1:41:13] is Satan
[1:41:14] and I'm
[1:41:14] here to
[1:41:15] say
[1:41:15] let me tell
[1:41:18] you about
[1:41:18] a couple
[1:41:18] that got
[1:41:19] a new
[1:41:19] place
[1:41:19] suddenly
[1:41:22] there's
[1:41:22] devil
[1:41:23] all up
[1:41:23] in her
[1:41:23] face
[1:41:24] he is
[1:41:25] in her
[1:41:26] face
[1:41:26] that's
[1:41:27] why
[1:41:28] my god
[1:41:32] ruining
[1:41:34] his
[1:41:35] acting
[1:41:35] career
[1:41:36] but you
[1:41:36] gotta
[1:41:36] ask
[1:41:37] hey
[1:41:37] what
[1:41:37] you
[1:41:37] doing
[1:41:37] over

[1:41:39] was
Stuart Wellington
[1:41:40] letters
[1:41:40] I just
[1:41:40] want to
[1:41:41] touch on
[1:41:41] real quick
[1:41:41] a couple
[1:41:43] episodes ago
[1:41:44] we were talking
[1:41:45] about summer
[1:41:45] movie memories
[1:41:46] and I asked
[1:41:47] you all to
[1:41:47] chime in
[1:41:48] in the comments
[1:41:49] on the
[1:41:50] Instagram post

[1:41:52] actual

[1:41:56] just
[1:41:57] we had
[1:41:57] a ton
[1:41:58] great
[1:41:58] responses
[1:41:58] but I
[1:41:59] just
[1:41:59] want to
[1:41:59] share
[1:41:59] two
[1:42:00] favorites
[1:42:01] I'll
[1:42:01] share
[1:42:01] them
[1:42:01] with
[1:42:01] you

[1:42:02] first
[1:42:03] from
[1:42:03] Kate
[1:42:03] Kleinworth
[1:42:04] and her
[1:42:05] memory
[1:42:05] is that
[1:42:05] my mom
[1:42:06] used to
[1:42:06] drop
[1:42:07] me and
[1:42:07] my little
[1:42:07] sister

Elliott Kalan
[1:45:05] lion

[1:45:07] town
Dan McCoy
[1:45:07] we've
[1:45:08] seen

[1:45:16] I saw
[1:45:17] deep
[1:45:18] cover
[1:45:18] hell
[1:45:19] yeah
[1:45:19] it was
[1:45:20] going off

[1:45:22] channel
[1:45:23] I'm like
[1:45:23] I gotta
[1:45:24] see it
[1:45:24] while I
[1:45:25] can
[1:45:25] the
[1:45:26] opening
[1:45:26] credits
[1:45:27] of that
[1:45:27] movie
[1:45:27] are so
[1:45:28] fucking
[1:45:29] hard as
[1:45:29] hell
[1:45:29] man
[1:45:30] that movie
[1:45:30] rocks
[1:45:30] it's
[1:45:31] from

[1:45:33] Bill
[1:45:33] Duke
[1:45:33] it stars
[1:45:34] Lawrence
[1:45:35] Fishburne
[1:45:35] and
[1:45:36] of course
[1:45:36] Jeff Goldblum
[1:45:37] as a
[1:45:38] sleazy
[1:45:39] lawyer
[1:45:39] both of
[1:45:41] them
[1:45:41] kind of
[1:45:42] at like
[1:45:42] the height
[1:45:42] of their
[1:45:43] movie star
[1:45:44] powers
[1:45:44] in that
[1:45:45] movie
[1:45:45] I think
[1:45:45] it's
[1:45:46] got a
[1:45:46] lot
[1:45:47] crime
[1:45:48] thriller
[1:45:49] thrills
[1:45:51] but it's
[1:45:51] also
[1:45:52] a very
[1:45:52] kind of
[1:45:53] more
[1:45:54] thoughtful
[1:45:54] movie
[1:45:55] about
[1:45:55] the
[1:45:56] drug
[1:45:57] war
[1:45:57] and
[1:45:58] about
[1:45:59] doesn't
[1:45:59] it does
[1:45:59] not
[1:46:00] exalt
[1:46:00] cops
[1:46:01] shows
[1:46:02] them
[1:46:03] to be
[1:46:03] part
[1:46:04] the
[1:46:04] same
[1:46:04] system
[1:46:05] that
[1:46:06] causes
[1:46:07] a lot
[1:46:08] pain
[1:46:08] and
[1:46:09] it's
[1:46:10] beautiful
[1:46:11] looking
[1:46:11] movie

[1:47:48] epic
[1:47:48] about
[1:47:49] medieval
[1:47:49] night
[1:47:50] Hungary
[1:47:51] in the
[1:47:51] 14th
[1:47:52] century
[1:47:52] and
[1:47:53] it is
[1:47:54] so beautifully
[1:47:55] animated
[1:47:55] it looks
[1:47:56] so gorgeous
[1:47:56] it's
[1:47:57] like
[1:47:57] watching
[1:47:57] paintings
[1:47:58] moving
[1:47:58] and
[1:47:59] it's
[1:48:00] all
[1:48:00] about
[1:48:00] it's
[1:48:01] being
[1:48:02] Eastern
[1:48:02] European
[1:48:02] movie
[1:48:03] cannot
[1:48:03] just
[1:48:04] about
[1:48:04] hero
[1:48:05] medieval
[1:48:05] times
[1:48:05] it has
[1:48:06] to be
[1:48:06] about
[1:48:06] how
[1:48:06] this
[1:48:06] guy
[1:48:07] becomes
[1:48:07] knight
[1:48:07] and
[1:48:07] destroys
[1:48:08] his
[1:48:08] life
[1:48:09] and
[1:48:09] becomes
[1:48:09] disillusioned
[1:48:10] with the
[1:48:10] very
[1:48:10] idea
[1:48:11] nobility
[1:48:11] and
[1:48:13] serving
[1:48:14] the
[1:48:14] king
[1:48:15] it's
[1:48:16] short
[1:48:16] movie
[1:48:16] it's
[1:48:17] like
[1:48:17] little
[1:48:18] bit
[1:48:18] less
[1:48:18] than
[1:48:18] hour
[1:48:18] and
[1:48:18] half
[1:48:19] looks
[1:48:19] gorgeous
[1:48:20] think
[1:48:21] it's
[1:48:21] really
[1:48:21] good
[1:48:21] it's
[1:48:21] called
[1:48:22] heroic
[1:48:22] times
Dan McCoy
[1:48:23] now
[1:48:24] before
[1:48:24] Ashley
[1:48:24] goes
[1:48:25] checked
[1:48:26] the
[1:48:27] letterbox
[1:48:27] list
[1:48:28] where
[1:48:28] you
[1:48:29] can
[1:48:29] find
[1:48:29] all
[1:48:30] our
[1:48:30] recommendations
[1:48:30] just to
[1:48:31] confirm
[1:48:31] that
[1:48:31] Stuart
[1:48:32] has
[1:48:33] recommended
[1:48:33] the
[1:48:33] order
[1:48:34] before
[1:48:34] I'm
[1:48:34] going to
[1:48:35] assume
[1:48:35] that
[1:48:35] your
[1:48:35] recommendation
[1:48:36] for this
[1:48:37] week
[1:48:37] will
[1:48:38] It's
[1:48:38] Alive 3
[1:48:39] Island of the
[1:48:39] Alive
[1:48:40] which we
[1:48:40] saw
Stuart Wellington
[1:48:41] together
[1:48:41] yeah
[1:48:41] I'll
[1:48:42] also
[1:48:42] recommend
[1:48:42] It's
[1:48:43] Alive 3
[1:48:43] Island of the
[1:48:44] Alive
[1:48:44] Michael
[1:48:45] Moriarty
[1:48:45] gives
[1:48:45] possibly the
[1:48:46] most unhinged
[1:48:47] performance
[1:48:47] I've
[1:48:48] ever
[1:48:48] seen
[1:48:49] screen
[1:48:49] and
[1:48:50] you
[1:48:50] know
[1:48:50] what
[1:48:51] monster
[1:48:51] babies
[1:48:51] you gotta
[1:48:53] see them
[1:48:53] they freak
[1:48:53] me out
[1:48:54] yeah
Elliott Kalan
[1:48:55] that's
[1:48:55] the one
[1:48:56] where
[1:48:56] it's
[1:48:56] implied
[1:48:56] that the
[1:48:57] monster
[1:48:58] babies
[1:48:58] are having
[1:48:58] monster
[1:48:58] babies
[1:48:59] right
Dan McCoy
[1:48:59] it's
[1:49:00] more than
[1:49:01] implied
[1:49:01] pretty much
[1:49:05] text
Stuart Wellington
[1:49:06] do not
Dan McCoy
[1:49:09] see
[1:49:09] monster
[1:49:10] babies
[1:49:10] copulating
[1:49:12] with one
[1:49:12] another
[1:49:13] speak
[1:49:13] for
[1:49:13] yourself
[1:49:14] Dan
[1:49:14] anyway
[1:49:16] I paid
[1:49:17] for my
Stuart Wellington
[1:49:18] ticket
[1:49:18] I'm
[1:49:19] gonna
[1:49:19] see
[1:49:19] for
S3
[1:49:22] sure
[1:49:22] I do
[1:49:24] hope
[1:49:24] you guys
[1:49:24] haven't
[1:49:25] recommended
[1:49:25] this
[1:49:25] before
[1:49:25] I mean
[1:49:26] if you
[1:49:26] have
[1:49:26] you have
[1:49:27] great
[1:49:27] taste
[1:49:28] think
[1:49:29] would
[1:49:29] with
[1:49:30] one
[1:49:30] shot
[1:49:31] this
[1:49:31] because
[1:49:31] can't
[1:49:32] imagine
[1:49:32] ever
[1:49:32] coming
[1:49:33] back
[1:49:33] here
[1:49:34] assume
[1:49:37] because
[1:49:37] would

[1:49:44] stuff
[1:49:44] figured
[1:49:45] ran
[1:49:45] around
[1:49:46] yeah
[1:49:47] cut
[1:49:48] out
[1:49:48] a lot
[1:49:48] a lot
[1:49:49] stuff
[1:49:50] that
[1:49:50] was
[1:49:50] going
[1:49:50] yeah
[1:49:50] I've
[1:49:51] got
[1:49:52] recommend

[1:50:14] feelings
[1:50:15] and

[1:51:57] Bus
[1:52:00] directed
[1:52:00] by Paul
[1:52:01] Greengrass
[1:52:02] it was
[1:52:03] very
[1:52:03] cool to
[1:52:04] work with
[1:52:04] Paul
[1:52:04] Greengrass
[1:52:05] it's a
[1:52:06] movie about
[1:52:06] the
[1:52:06] 2018
[1:52:07] Campfire
[1:52:08] Fire
[1:52:08] which was
[1:52:08] the
[1:52:09] deadliest
[1:52:09] wildfire
[1:52:10] California
[1:52:11] history
[1:52:12] and it
[1:52:13] stars
[1:52:13] Matthew
[1:52:14] McConaughey
[1:52:14] America
[1:52:15] America
[1:52:15] Ferreira
[1:52:16] Yul
[1:52:16] Vasquez
[1:52:17] and
[1:52:17] myself
[1:52:19] Matthew
[1:52:19] McConaughey
[1:52:19] plays
[1:52:20] a true
[1:52:21] person
[1:52:22] named
[1:52:22] Kevin
[1:52:22] McKay
[1:52:23] who
[1:52:23] was
[1:52:24] school
[1:52:24] bus
[1:52:24] driver
[1:52:25] who
[1:52:25] had
[1:52:25] not
[1:52:25] been
[1:52:25] working
[1:52:26] as a
[1:52:26] bus
[1:52:26] driver
[1:52:27] very
[1:52:27] long
[1:52:27] who
[1:52:29] prevailed
[1:52:29] upon
[1:52:30] rescue
[1:52:31] kids
[1:52:31] whose
[1:52:32] parents
[1:52:33] worked
[1:52:34] too
[1:52:34] far
[1:52:34] outside
[1:52:35] of the
[1:52:35] evacuation
[1:52:35] zone
[1:52:36] during
[1:52:37] the
[1:52:37] Paradise
[1:52:37] wildfires
[1:52:38] and
[1:52:40] then
[1:52:40] battles
[1:52:41] his
[1:52:41] way
[1:52:41] through
[1:52:41] fire
[1:52:41] with
[1:52:42] America
[1:52:42] Ferreira
[1:52:42] for
[1:52:43] hours
[1:52:43] and hours
[1:52:44] and hours
Stuart Wellington
[1:52:44] and hours
[1:52:44] now I
[1:52:45] haven't
[1:52:45] I haven't
[1:52:46] seen the
[1:52:46] poster
[1:52:46] but here's
[1:52:47] suggestion
[1:52:48] you take
[1:52:48] a bus
[1:52:48] and put
[1:52:49] it on
[1:52:49] a rock
[1:52:50] or something
S3
[1:52:51] on the top
[1:52:52] of the
[1:52:52] mountain
[1:52:52] balancing
[1:52:53] yeah
[1:52:54] balancing
[1:52:54] yeah
Dan McCoy
[1:52:54] I think
[1:52:55] that captures
[1:52:55] the tone
[1:52:56] you're probably
[1:52:56] looking for
[1:52:57] for sure
[1:52:57] actually
S3
[1:52:58] they did
[1:52:59] make a
[1:52:59] fake
[1:52:59] the letterbox
[1:53:01] for it
[1:53:01] was very
[1:53:01] funny
[1:53:02] for a while
[1:53:02] because
[1:53:03] somebody
[1:53:03] did make
[1:53:04] a poster
[1:53:04] in advance
[1:53:06] of the
[1:53:06] actual poster
[1:53:07] which was
[1:53:07] a very
[1:53:08] cartoon
[1:53:08] bus
[1:53:09] with
[1:53:09] sort of
[1:53:09] superimposed
[1:53:11] Matthew
[1:53:11] McConaughey
[1:53:12] and
[1:53:12] America
[1:53:13] Ferreira
[1:53:13] heads on it
[1:53:14] it's pretty
[1:53:15] spectacular
Stuart Wellington
[1:53:16] and I don't
[1:53:17] know
[1:53:17] I don't
[1:53:17] know if
[1:53:18] there's
[1:53:18] been
[1:53:18] another
[1:53:18] trailer
[1:53:19] but the
[1:53:19] trailer
[1:53:19] I did
[1:53:20] see
[1:53:20] I think
[1:53:21] you're
[1:53:21] the only
[1:53:21] voice
[1:53:22] we hear
[1:53:22] yeah
[1:53:23] I'm not
S3
[1:53:24] visible
[1:53:24] which is
[1:53:25] how I
[1:53:25] prefer
[1:53:25] I prefer
[1:53:27] I'd rather
[1:53:27] not be
[1:53:28] perceived
[1:53:29] visually

Description

It's Smalltember (Elliott pops into frame to say "Smallvember!") -- that special time of year when we allow ourselves to stray from big Hollywood movies to examine some tinier, more idiosyncratic pictures. And boy howdy is Lumina idiosyncratic! So we welcomed actor Ashlie Atkinson (The Gilded Age, The Lost Bus, Mr. Robot and much more) to help decipher the madness!

Our first Chicago show sold out, so we ADDED A LATE SHOW! Come see us live!

OR, if you prefer to watch us from the comfort of your own home: Flop TV Season 3 tix are ON SALE!
