The Flop House: Episode #50 - Delgo

[0:00] For the 50th episode of The Flophouse, we try a flophouse first, discussing an animated movie.

[0:06] In this episode, Delgo.

[0:31] Hey everyone, and welcome to The Flophouse. I'm Dan McCoy.

[0:38] I'm Stuart Wellington.

[0:40] Look out over here, it's Elliot Kalin.

[0:42] Stuart, you were so taken aback by my forceful introduction.

[0:46] No, I was trying to remember if we watched a movie tonight.

[0:48] Well, before we get into that, everyone.

[0:51] The purpose of the podcast.

[0:54] This is our 50th episode.

[0:56] What?

[0:57] Our 50th full-length episode.

[0:59] In movie minutes, it would be like 82.

[1:02] Not counting our Flophouse novellas.

[1:05] But canonical episodes, this is the 50th one.

[1:09] Wow.

[1:10] This is our golden anniversary.

[1:12] I wasn't there for many of those episodes.

[1:14] I'm the only one who was there for all 50 of the episodes.

[1:17] I feel like, Dan, that's a real achievement that you've reached, and I think you should be proud of it.

[1:21] This podcast has staying power.

[1:23] How long has it been in terms of chronological time?

[1:27] About two and a half years now.

[1:30] That sounds right.

[1:32] I was there for most of them.

[1:34] I mean, I'm not there, but I talk about it.

[1:37] I'm the only one who was here for 50, so where are my gifts, guys?

[1:45] I told Elliot to pick them up.

[1:47] Our presents are our presents here.

[1:51] Oh, that's sweet.

[1:53] Wait, you didn't tell me you were going to do that.

[1:55] I gave you like $20.

[1:57] Yeah, well, that's mine now.

[1:59] I went to Popeye's.

[2:01] You saw how much chicken I ate.

[2:03] It was pretty astounding, actually.

[2:06] You ate 20 whole chickens.

[2:08] And all the sauce.

[2:10] Part of that Popeye's dollar a chicken deal.

[2:13] They are losing money hand over beak on that deal.

[2:17] Oh, man.

[2:19] So what do we do on this podcast?

[2:22] This podcast is based around the premise that we watch a bad movie.

[2:27] This isn't like a best of episode like you do for sitcom where it's like,

[2:32] hey, guys, remember the time when we went to the prom together?

[2:35] Or like a caveman hits us on the head and we think back to all the great times we had.

[2:40] Yeah, there's people that have to remind us of who we are.

[2:43] I was going to say a caveman hits us over the head and then we go back to caveman days.

[2:47] I mean, that would be even better.

[2:49] That would be great.

[2:50] I didn't think that was possible.

[2:51] I mean, is it a magic club?

[2:53] Yeah, I don't know.

[2:54] We see like a bad cave painting and then we talk about it for a while.

[2:58] And are we dressed like cavemen or are we normal looking?

[3:01] I don't know.

[3:02] I don't know about that.

[3:03] I'm also wondering how it's recorded, whether it's just on a tablet, a stone tablet.

[3:07] I think we're just talking.

[3:09] It's a part of the oral tradition.

[3:11] Yeah.

[3:12] Well, maybe we talk into like a pterodactyl's beak or something.

[3:19] And then the pterodactyl goes, it's a living!

[3:21] Yeah, something like that, of course.

[3:24] As is my understanding.

[3:27] It's weird that animals lost the ability to talk at some point in prehistory.

[3:33] Well, speaking of weird reptilian creatures.

[3:38] Your segue skills have really improved over the course of 50 podcasts.

[3:43] We watched a film.

[3:46] Back in the first one, I remember listening to it and you just go, this thing now.

[3:50] Now we talk this.

[3:53] Well, that was the caveman podcast.

[3:55] It was caveman days, yeah.

[3:57] This podcast is quickly becoming a 2,000-year-old man routine.

[4:01] Back in the old days when we podcasters, oh, 2,000 years, a podcast, well.

[4:08] We watched a film.

[4:09] It was real pods.

[4:10] Called Delgo.

[4:12] And I want to make this clear.

[4:14] We watched a movie called Delgo.

[4:16] We did not watch the movie Dougal.

[4:18] And not Hidalgo.

[4:19] Starring Jon Stewart.

[4:21] The movie Dougal, I assume you're contractually obligated to think is the best movie ever made.

[4:26] Nope.

[4:27] Not in my contract.

[4:30] Have you read it all the way through?

[4:33] Somebody did at some point.

[4:35] They had to write it.

[4:36] But yeah, Dougal is something that doesn't come up very often around the office.

[4:41] There's no anthropomorphic springs in Delgo.

[4:43] Delgo is a movie.

[4:45] Did we watch the movie Dagon?

[4:47] No.

[4:48] Dagon's not a bad movie.

[4:50] I like Dagon.

[4:51] Yeah.

[4:52] I understand.

[4:53] I worship him.

[4:54] I worship him.

[4:57] People across America are pulling their earbuds out and saying, I listened to 50 of these.

[5:03] The reason we watched Delgo was.

[5:09] Delgo has the distinction of having the worst opening weekend for a wide release film ever.

[5:15] And what does wide release mean, Dan?

[5:17] Wide release in this case means over 2,000 screens.

[5:20] And how much money did it make?

[5:22] Do you know?

[5:23] I think it made something like $600,000 in its opening weekend.

[5:28] On 2,000 screens at least.

[5:30] And it cost $40 million.

[5:33] That's very bad.

[5:35] It's bad.

[5:36] And the audience may be saying, I've never heard of this movie, Delgo.

[5:40] If it opened on so many screens, how come I don't know what it is?

[5:43] Well, it's because it's an animated movie that looks like a cut scene from a video game.

[5:48] Yes.

[5:49] And that's part of why I picked it.

[5:51] Because you like video games.

[5:54] Number one, the bad opening weekend.

[5:57] But number two, we'd never done an animated film.

[5:59] So I thought, let's do something different for our 50th episode.

[6:03] And, Stuart, you seem like you just loved this decision of mine.

[6:07] Boy, were you right.

[6:09] What did we want?

[6:10] What happened to this fucking movie?

[6:13] The moment it started, Stuart said something along the lines of, like, what the fuck is this?

[6:20] Just the moment you saw the animated titles appear.

[6:22] Then I began drinking heavily.

[6:24] And here we go.

[6:26] Titles basically in the same font as the upcoming Avatar, by the way.

[6:29] Yeah.

[6:31] This may have been better than Avatar will be, though.

[6:33] Well, let's not pass it around.

[6:35] What are you, precognitive, like all the characters in Delgo?

[6:37] Yeah, because I'm precognitive.

[6:39] There's no precogs in Delgo.

[6:41] They have telekinetic powers.

[6:43] What?

[6:44] Let's talk about the plot first, guys.

[6:45] Sure.

[6:46] You do this.

[6:48] Well, the basic plot of the movie is that there's an evil lady who...

[6:58] We're on a far-off fantasy world where there are two races of lizard men.

[7:02] Why don't you take over?

[7:03] We're in a far-off fantasy world.

[7:05] She brings up monkey faces.

[7:08] Well, there's this evil lady.

[7:10] Oh, by the way, everyone's aliens and some of them have wings.

[7:12] Anyway, there's this evil lady.

[7:14] We're on a far-off planet with two different races of green lizard monkey humanoids.

[7:23] One race has wings.

[7:24] The other race does not but has some sort of telekinetic abilities with rocks.

[7:29] The winged ones, their land is polluted or some shit,

[7:34] and they are invited to join the non-winged ones,

[7:39] but then the evil lady leads the winged army on a devastating crusade of destruction,

[7:46] and now there's a sort of uneasy truce between the two sides.

[7:49] They hate each other, but they have to coexist after the unpleasantness is over.

[7:54] And the evil lady got her wings chopped off and got banished, right?

[7:57] Yes, she tried to kill the royal family of the winged ones

[8:00] and had her wings chopped off and was banished to somewhere.

[8:04] Flash forward 15 years.

[8:08] There's a young princess with wings.

[8:11] I'm already bored.

[8:12] There's a young princess with wings.

[8:14] There's Delgo, our hero, who does not have wings,

[8:17] and the evil lady wants to come back, and she tries to take over,

[8:21] and Delgo and the princess, and Delgo's sidekick, Kris Kattan,

[8:25] and a noble knight played by Val Kilmer.

[8:29] Kris Kattan?

[8:30] Yeah, they have to save the day.

[8:32] Yeah.

[8:33] That's pretty much all you need to know.

[8:34] Yeah, the evil lady does this by fomenting distrust between the races.

[8:39] She creates a new race war so she can swoop in and seize the reins.

[8:44] Voiced by Anne Bancroft, by the way, in what I believe had to have been her last role.

[8:49] In this role, you'll notice that.

[8:51] Yeah, Anne Best.

[8:52] And the credits end with Anne Bancroft, 1923 to 2005.

[8:58] Did they?

[8:59] Yeah.

[9:00] I was out of the room.

[9:01] I think I was peeing at that point.

[9:02] You were furiously masturbating in the bathroom.

[9:05] To the idea of noseless lizard people.

[9:08] Well, he needs to get it out before the podcast because he'll be nervous.

[9:12] The evil character Sisberella, whatever her name was, to her

[9:15] Sioux City sass was like Odessa or something?

[9:19] Sedessa or something.

[9:20] Spedessa.

[9:21] To her strangely detailed rear end.

[9:25] Yeah, they really fetishized her ass in this.

[9:27] Like, she was in skin tight pants.

[9:31] I hesitated before pants because they all wear absurd clothes in this movie.

[9:37] It looked like they had just animated an ass and then painted that red in Mac paint or something.

[9:44] I think the animators were probably uninterested in looking at her weird monkey face.

[9:49] Yeah.

[9:50] So they decided to focus on making her ass look.

[9:53] I have to say about the plot, though, Elliot, listeners will note that your description was very detailed for a while.

[10:00] and then it became very simple and that's because this movie

[10:03] has an extremely simple plot

[10:05] but then it has like this ten minute prologue that is

[10:09] unnecessarily complex to set up the world

[10:13] it's all like the politics, it's like the crawls of the beginning of star wars but acted out

[10:18] but then it's your basic like

[10:20] you're a princess and I'm a regular guy, we're from two different worlds, uh oh there's an

[10:24] adventure now we've got to

[10:26] escape from the bad guys and get back there and solve the misunderstanding

[10:29] it was romeo and juliet with flying whales and a happy ending and a lot of scenes

[10:33] stolen from other movies

[10:35] but we should mention that this is an all star cast like

[10:38] the list is a who's who of actors who need work you got

[10:42] freddie prince jr. as the hero delgo, yeah the titular role

[10:47] the word titular is just funny

[10:49] chris katan as his friend philo

[10:51] who is irritating, the term friend used loosely

[10:55] jennifer love hewitt as the princess

[10:57] anne bankroft as sarsaparilla

[10:59] sally kellerman at the beginning as the narrator

[11:03] malcolm mcdowell as the evil general

[11:05] who is an agent of anne bankroft

[11:08] uh... you've got michael clark duncan as the

[11:11] philosophical mentor of freddie prince jr., val kilmer as lord barbarus or whatever his name is

[11:16] uh... bogartus, yeah bogartus, and they call him bogie at one point

[11:21] and then who was the, i forgot who played the king

[11:24] uh...

[11:26] the king, and eric idol is the like goofy

[11:28] henchman of the villain

[11:30] yeah, is he ever, oh and kelly rippo was in there somewhere, i don't know what

[11:35] character she played, yeah we just saw her in the credits

[11:37] who was the king that was somebody well known too, good stuff, i can't remember now

[11:42] yeah well guys go to the delgo

[11:45] website, go to delgomovie.com

[11:49] which is now a golden palace site, they bought it for five dollars and haven't

[11:54] redirected to golden palace

[11:56] you mean the golden girls

[11:58] spinoff

[11:59] with all of them except darthy owned a hotel, yes that's what i mean

[12:04] the still living golden girls

[12:06] we're like uh... we're not getting enough attention these days, we gotta piggyback

[12:09] on something really popular, but we only have five dollars to spend

[12:13] let's buy this defunct movie site

[12:16] and that was a more entertaining plot than the movie at delgo

[12:21] so yeah we got done talking about the plot, at what point in the production of this movie

[12:27] do you think they had to make that hard decision

[12:30] let's make a video game or let's make a movie and what do you think was the

[12:33] defining factor

[12:35] that's a good question i wish the makers of delgo here so that we can

[12:38] punch them in the nuts and ask them that question, they're like a weird talking monkey

[12:42] where you have to strike them in the nuts, no that was just out of our irritation

[12:47] i wish they were here so we could

[12:50] write our question on the edge of a knife blade and slide it gently into their gut

[12:55] wow

[12:57] much harsher, much poetry out of thine mouth

[13:03] oh the bard speaks through this movie, this movie angered me

[13:08] more than a lot

[13:11] you're putting a lot of work into a movie

[13:14] if you're making a computer animated film, it's one thing to make the chaos

[13:18] experiment which was a shitty movie but they probably shot it over like a weekend

[13:22] i mean this is not

[13:23] a great computer animation but it's you know a step up from i don't know

[13:27] like

[13:28] it's basically like shrek right, it's around shrek level

[13:32] it's a step up from, it's not as bad as doodle

[13:35] in terms of animation quality, or the vegetales movies, or the pirates who don't do

[13:39] anything yeah, but it's not, of course it's nowhere near like pixar quality

[13:43] but

[13:44] yeah but the animation, it's better than like what was it happily never after or whatever that

[13:48] yes certainly

[13:49] the animation is not

[13:52] that great and

[13:53] the character design

[13:55] for all of the main characters is ugly as i

[13:59] said during the movie

[14:00] like the best thing to do when you want someone to like your characters is to

[14:04] give them

[14:05] like just regular human proportions and then make their faces the weird

[14:09] monkey faces like you said stewart

[14:11] sure, i said that

[14:12] if you're going to do that you have to like exaggerate some of the cartoon

[14:15] characteristics or else it's just going to be creepy

[14:18] you know like their hands are their jugs

[14:20] what? you know what i'm talking about guys

[14:24] those are the two acceptable things for a cartoon to emphasize

[14:29] i realized now that uh...

[14:31] so that the audience, the classic one, so that the audience understands

[14:35] are you being racist?

[14:36] so that the audience understands kind of what these characters look like without

[14:39] having to look it up

[14:40] it's like if uh...

[14:42] the lewis gossett jr. character from enemy mine

[14:45] like it's this display about his home planet

[14:47] i'm glad you touched on something that everybody's familiar with

[14:51] yeah well i'm sure these people at HBO when they were growing up

[14:55] sure and the the flying creatures have a skin modeling

[14:58] similar to the aliens in the alien nation series. yeah their design is somewhat like that

[15:02] in wayne barlow's book expedition

[15:05] or imagine a

[15:07] marginally less evil lord voldemort from the...

[15:12] well they look kind of like the dinosaurs in the hit disney film dinosaur

[15:17] yeah you're right they do

[15:19] or like uh... if they didn't have the weird head crests

[15:24] they look like the the sea monkeys kind of from the sea monkeys package except the sea monkeys have weird head crests

[15:28] a little bit yeah

[15:30] but for a movie that

[15:31] had to have been a certain amount of work i mean

[15:34] there was no thought put into the art direction like nothing seemed to match

[15:38] with anything else like not even like colors there weren't like okay this

[15:42] scene is going to be shot in this certain palette of colors

[15:46] it was just a bunch of clashing brightness

[15:49] and uh... scenes would just go on yeah like they did not spend any time on a

[15:54] script

[15:55] for a movie that they weren't then going to be able to

[15:57] re-edit or

[15:59] you know change on the fly

[16:02] i mean if they didn't work i mean if pixar movies have taught us anything

[16:05] you don't need a good script to have a great animated movie

[16:10] you need a bunch of explosions killer robots shit like that yeah

[16:14] why didn't they have that stuff well they had some stuff like that well i gotta say

[16:17] i have to believe

[16:19] this might be a the room type scenario where the film was actually a money

[16:23] laundering operation

[16:25] and it did not cost forty million dollars

[16:27] i mean the one level on which i kinda like delgo is uh...

[16:31] it shows that it's complete bullshit the idea that

[16:34] everyone just loves computer animation these days in any computer animated film

[16:37] will make millions and millions of dollars

[16:40] lady it shows that no no yes you have to have a good

[16:44] distort well i think that's what that's what's like to be animation died is that

[16:47] like disney with all the sunlight well i guess that uh... people i want to use

[16:51] computer animation they weren't like

[16:53] old pixar's making excellent film that he had a word that no one wants to see

[16:57] home on the range so i guess to the animation is dead

[17:00] because

[17:01] a cow movie starring judy dench and lindsey drach

[17:05] uh... that should be a winner but it's in 2d animation rachel drach

[17:09] uh... sorry rachel drach lindsey drach is a girl i went to high school with

[17:12] uh... hello lindsey she wasn't in that movie is what you're saying no she wasn't

[17:15] rachel drach was so like but lindsey drach wasn't no lindsey drach is not

[17:19] but why did you bring her up

[17:21] i got the names mixed up because they have the same last name oh holy shit that makes sense

[17:25] listen it's late and we just watched delgo my brain is all scrambled

[17:29] but the uh...

[17:30] basically the idea that uh...

[17:32] yeah that

[17:33] the only reason we can understand why kids want to see this movie is because it's from our

[17:36] pen and ink department so let's shut it down

[17:38] because judy dench roseanne and rachel drach should have pulled them in

[17:42] are you saying wait lindsey drach? no rachel drach

[17:46] lindsey drach was a mistake with a name pulled out of my past

[17:50] uh...

[17:51] so kids didn't want to see this for some reason

[17:55] now i looked it up on wikipedia

[17:58] it was basically as if

[18:00] two people went to every show

[18:03] yeah that's pretty devoted to average that two people maybe a couple of tumbleweeds

[18:07] the tumbleweeds get in for senior prices though so it's not a lot of money

[18:11] that's convenient because they're all dried up is that? yeah exactly like old people

[18:15] so those two people went to see every show you're saying now so you've got two

[18:19] hardcore fans right there two delgo fans you can build a cult out of that

[18:23] now they're delgo cosplayers i'm betting they call themselves delgites

[18:28] they go to delcon every year

[18:30] it sounds kind of hot

[18:31] in delgo cosplay does the dude dress up as a lizard monkey face and the

[18:35] other person dresses up like as a fairy monkey face? of course

[18:39] come on you have to ask that question

[18:43] i didn't know if they do like a gender role reversal they gently flutter their wings over

[18:47] each other's genitals

[18:49] they don't just grab it and yank it

[18:52] they don't just pull it right off

[18:56] like in castle freak?

[18:59] this is a not a very good film

[19:02] yeah uh...

[19:03] kris katan is the worst thing about it

[19:06] the movie is mostly generic more than anything else but kris katan is the worst thing in it

[19:11] that's a pretty big accusation that kris katan is literally the worst thing about this movie

[19:15] can you come up with something worse than

[19:18] watching kris katan's character just going

[19:20] if this was a fucking wild west that would be a fucking hanging offense

[19:26] to be the worst thing in delgo yeah and then they would have hung him and everyone would have said

[19:30] well justice was served this time

[19:32] i guess roy beam should be

[19:34] you know practicing the law a little bit longer

[19:37] kris katan's one character note was dithering

[19:40] we were introduced to him

[19:43] he's trying to help out his friend delgo who has gone over the cliff

[19:47] uh... during a

[19:49] stampede scene they're out hot dogging around and create a stampede

[19:54] riding their jubex around

[19:57] like surfing on them to impress padme yeah well they

[20:00] He does surf on one, yeah.

[20:02] So Chris Kattan is shooting off a flare to try and get help,

[20:06] but he accidentally shoots it into a tree.

[20:09] And Doug goes like, why is that tree on fire?

[20:11] And Chris Kattan's reaction is, fire?

[20:13] What?

[20:14] Fire?

[20:14] I don't, um.

[20:15] I don't see fire.

[20:16] Is there fire?

[20:17] Oh, that fire.

[20:17] Oh, oh, well, that, like, meh.

[20:20] And every single time he has a line reading,

[20:22] it goes on like that.

[20:23] Yeah.

[20:24] It's like.

[20:24] And then that scene, three more people

[20:26] then ask, why is that tree on fire, one after the other?

[20:30] If you've seen, like, really, really cheap anime that's

[20:34] been brought into the US, it's the same sort of like,

[20:38] ah, ooh, ah, ee, ah, I don't know, um, ee.

[20:41] But it's very unnerving seeing it in a movie.

[20:43] What's that over there?

[20:44] I don't know.

[20:44] Is that a, huh?

[20:46] In a movie made for English-speaking audiences,

[20:48] it seems very strange.

[20:50] There's something about, he's just so irritating.

[20:54] And the character almost never does anything worthwhile.

[20:56] Like, you don't know why they're friends.

[20:59] He's just there because the hero needs a goofy sidekick.

[21:02] But he's so incompetent.

[21:04] And he's so stupid.

[21:05] And the audience has to hate him.

[21:08] Spoiler alert, it's only because of his slingshot shot

[21:12] that the main character, Delgo, and his girlfriend

[21:16] totally survive at the end.

[21:17] Yeah, which is why we hate him even more.

[21:19] Yeah.

[21:20] Oh, right.

[21:21] I was actively rooting for Delgo to die

[21:23] by the end of this movie.

[21:24] There were a number of points where we were like, oh, great.

[21:26] OK, Delgo's dead then.

[21:28] So Sarsaparilla wins.

[21:30] Yeah.

[21:30] Our favorite character, the weird, evil, mad scientist guy.

[21:33] I wish he had murdered him.

[21:35] Totally kept losing.

[21:36] This is a character with zero lines

[21:39] who is like the villain, he's the main villain's like,

[21:42] scientist, there's always like the scientist tension.

[21:44] It's like if you made one of the weird creatures from Labyrinth

[21:48] that can pull off their body parts,

[21:49] made one of those into a mad scientist.

[21:51] And had like glowing eyes.

[21:53] Yeah, that's what that guy's like.

[21:55] Yeah, he seemed genuinely dangerous at times.

[21:58] Yeah, and that kind of turned me on.

[22:01] Yeah, it was kind of like, I mean, like his demeanor was

[22:04] kind of like, what is it, Crazy Harry?

[22:06] Is that the Muppet that's always blowing things up?

[22:09] I guess so.

[22:10] Or that one, that Roger Rabbit, the weasel

[22:12] that is in the straitjacket.

[22:13] Yeah.

[22:14] And carries a razor blade around.

[22:15] All much better entertainments than Delgo.

[22:19] Yes.

[22:19] And luckily, Delgo tied into that

[22:21] by having scenes that were directly,

[22:24] I don't, I wouldn't like direct homages to films that.

[22:28] Well, describe one of these for us.

[22:30] Perhaps the scene where they're in the big hanging jail cell.

[22:34] Oh, no, no, surely no one had ever

[22:36] done that in a movie before.

[22:38] No, I swear I saw that in a movie.

[22:41] Maybe it was Kung Fu Panda.

[22:44] It was a movie about bandits who traveled through time.

[22:49] Oh, yeah, that's right.

[22:51] Chrono Stealers.

[22:54] Thanks for being coy, guys, but I

[22:56] think you're talking about the movie Time Bandits.

[22:57] That's right.

[22:58] Oh, that's right.

[22:58] The Terry Gilliam classic, Time Bandits.

[23:00] Enough fucking around.

[23:01] What we're trying to say is that the movie we watched tonight,

[23:04] Delgo.

[23:04] Stole from Time Bandits.

[23:05] Stole from Time Bandits.

[23:06] Yeah, they're all literally in like big hanging cages

[23:10] that look like bird cages at the end of Time Bandits.

[23:12] And they all swing from cage to cage like in Time Bandits.

[23:14] They stole it from the movie The Bird Cage also.

[23:17] Yep.

[23:18] They stole the irritatingness from the movie The Bird Cage.

[23:22] Cage O'Falls?

[23:24] Isn't that how you say it?

[23:25] Codge Ox Follis.

[23:27] OK.

[23:28] They lifted some stuff from Lord of the Rings.

[23:31] Lord of the Rings, Last Crusade.

[23:33] Romeo and Juliet, Tromeo and Juliet.

[23:37] You know, all that shit.

[23:40] They stole the giving birth to a rat and, what is it,

[23:43] popcorn scene from Tromeo and Juliet.

[23:45] They stole the lesbian nurse from Tromeo and Juliet.

[23:48] Oh, man.

[23:49] Guys, let's watch Tromeo and Juliet.

[23:51] They stole all these scenes from The 120 Days of Sodom.

[23:56] Wait, is that the one with Rocco Zaffretti in it?

[24:00] Pornhub star Rocco Zaffretti?

[24:02] I think you're thinking of that Catherine Bralais film.

[24:07] Something like that.

[24:09] No Reservations?

[24:11] Oh, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

[24:12] Yes.

[24:14] Raising Helen?

[24:15] Sure.

[24:16] That's all about Steve.

[24:18] Anyway.

[24:18] Dan in real life?

[24:19] The Tao of Steve with Donald Logue?

[24:23] The movie that made Donald Logue a star.

[24:27] Guys, who was your favorite lizard person?

[24:30] Oh, wait.

[24:31] I have a favorite fucking lizard person.

[24:33] Can I pick one from not this movie?

[24:34] Yes.

[24:35] Because then I'm going to say Dr. Curt Connors, the Spider-Man

[24:38] villain, the lizard.

[24:40] Sure, that makes sense.

[24:41] Are Slee Stacks?

[24:44] I'm going to say, if anyone remembers the Topps card

[24:46] series, Dinosaurs Attack, which the idea was it was like Mars

[24:50] attacks, but with dinosaurs.

[24:52] There's a scene where the scientist in it

[24:54] has a kind of dream vision of a dinosaur that

[24:57] has evolved into humanoid form and helps

[25:01] him solve the problem of how to stop these dinosaurs.

[25:04] That's my favorite lizard person.

[25:06] I think mine would be the main evil alien

[25:10] from the original V, not the remake,

[25:13] but the one she unhinges her jaw to eat that gerbil.

[25:17] Yeah.

[25:17] Can I just say Velociraptors?

[25:19] Sure.

[25:21] They're kind of like people.

[25:22] They have no person aspects to them.

[25:25] They're smart like a person.

[25:26] I guess so.

[25:27] They are clever girls.

[25:29] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[25:31] God, I don't even know what to talk about with this movie

[25:33] after a certain point.

[25:34] Well, let's see, Delgo.

[25:35] Well, the music was bad.

[25:36] Everything in it was bad.

[25:39] The princess looked like she was wearing a purple workout

[25:42] outfit the whole time.

[25:44] Yeah.

[25:44] That's pretty cool.

[25:46] Did we say Malcolm McDowell was in this?

[25:48] Yes.

[25:48] Yeah, he's in it.

[25:49] He's the bad guy with the top knot.

[25:51] I would say that Malcolm McDowell

[25:53] had fallen on hard times in his career,

[25:55] but he was in a Shannon Tweed film.

[25:57] Oh, no, it was a Shannon Worry film.

[25:58] I'm sorry.

[25:58] I was going to say, Shannon Tweed, that's moving up.

[26:00] No, he was in a Shannon Worry film.

[26:02] Yeah.

[26:03] I guess there's also the fact that the lizard folks

[26:08] seem to have some sort of rock-based society.

[26:11] Yeah.

[26:11] Like, all the telekinesis seem to focus around these red rocks.

[26:16] So I guess it was some sort of, I don't know.

[26:18] Yeah, that shoot was all pretty boring.

[26:19] I didn't pay that much attention to it.

[26:21] But Michael Clark Duncan dropped some knowledge on our hero

[26:23] a couple times.

[26:24] They chose Michael Clark Duncan to be

[26:26] the one to give the philosophical morals

[26:30] of the film.

[26:30] Good choice.

[26:31] Yeah.

[26:32] Yeah, you think so?

[26:33] Not really.

[26:34] OK.

[26:36] And Delgo, huh?

[26:38] Yeah.

[26:39] At the end, everyone learned a lesson.

[26:41] And then it was amazing that working together

[26:45] at the last minute to save each other from this evil army,

[26:48] the winged guys and the non-winged guys,

[26:52] it suddenly breaks down every barrier in their society.

[26:55] Because they go from hating each other to, I guess,

[26:57] being OK with a winged person and a non-winged person

[27:00] kissing each other at the end.

[27:02] Yeah, well, I mean, even on a bigger level,

[27:05] I didn't understand.

[27:07] Delgo's big scheme at the end was, OK,

[27:09] if I start a stampede like we saw

[27:13] at the beginning of the movie foreshadowing.

[27:15] Good screenwriting.

[27:17] That's a Kiva Goldsman level screenwriting.

[27:19] Yeah, that will bring the warring factions together.

[27:22] Because now they have to turn against a third party, which

[27:26] is the stampede.

[27:28] What's weird, though, is they had already

[27:29] been kind of fighting against the third party

[27:31] already, because the villain's army

[27:33] had run into the battle where the two sides were fighting.

[27:36] Yeah, well, also, I don't understand

[27:38] why they decided that they should fight the big monster

[27:39] faces instead of the other monkey heads.

[27:41] Yeah, they look like the Morin Guards from Return of the Jedi.

[27:45] But that being said, they're not quite as obese.

[27:48] Yeah, they're in better shape.

[27:49] If two armies were fighting each other

[27:52] and a bunch of cows ran through, would that all of a sudden

[27:55] mean that the battle's over?

[27:58] It's the rule of the battle.

[28:00] Goes back hundreds of years, yeah.

[28:03] That's how the Korean War ended.

[28:04] The thing about the interracial kiss is,

[28:07] I don't know if you got this subtext, Elliott,

[28:09] from earlier on the film, but kissing in this society

[28:13] is kind of like giving high five.

[28:15] It's not like a precursor to intercourse.

[28:18] I don't think that was in any way part of the film.

[28:21] Yeah, I think they talked about it.

[28:22] I don't think that was ever mentioned.

[28:24] Yeah, I mean, yeah, it was in it.

[28:27] It was right before the scene where they're

[28:29] riding on the Romto's.

[28:33] We did get to see a fake made-up gambling game.

[28:36] Kind of like poker, but instead of cards, it involves triangles.

[28:39] Yeah, like something out of a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

[28:41] Yeah.

[28:43] It's called Tri-Omino's.

[28:46] Yeah?

[28:46] Yep.

[28:47] Yeah, you get sick with that one?

[28:48] Yep.

[28:49] Stuart is having none of it tonight.

[29:52] Now back to the show.

[29:53] I think that we should move on.

[30:00] to uh... final judgments on this shirt is going to be a big surprise

[30:04] uh... the categories are as follows

[30:07] is this a good bad movie

[30:09] a bad bad movie

[30:11] a movie that you actually

[30:13] kinda likes

[30:14] do you have the no anniversary themed choices

[30:16] uh...

[30:18] is this the

[30:19] diamond anniversary

[30:21] that would be good

[30:22] is this the

[30:24] uh...

[30:25] fake bottle of peanut brittle anniversary

[30:29] okay that's in the middle somewhere

[30:32] wait fake is it like spring snakes come out

[30:35] I guess it's not a bottle, a fake can

[30:37] I guess it's a harmless laugh

[30:39] or is this the

[30:41] uh...

[30:42] turd anniversary

[30:44] like a normal turd or

[30:47] like a messy turd

[30:49] I don't think it matters Stuart

[30:50] is it more of a flurry or

[30:52] try to give you fecal matter for an anniversary I think that would be pretty bad

[30:56] not like a manure form

[30:57] not like something you could burn to survive

[30:59] let's just give our final judgment shall we

[31:03] okay who goes first

[31:04] I think that you seem to be raring to say stuff about Doggo

[31:09] well yeah this movie is abysmal

[31:11] uh... there's really nothing

[31:13] good about it

[31:14] uh... and it hurt my eyes to watch it

[31:18] uh... I'd say it looked like a video game cut scene but

[31:21] I I mean I haven't seen a video game cut scene of this quality since like

[31:26] the Sega CD

[31:27] so yeah no

[31:29] two thumbs down Vegitales all over the place

[31:34] I'm not sure what that means

[31:37] well no I'm giving thumbs down to the Vegitales message

[31:41] uh... I'm trying to make as many enemies as possible tonight

[31:44] between the creators of uh... Doggo and uh... anybody who supports

[31:50] uh... the Vegitales for instance

[31:52] uh... yeah

[31:53] I would almost recommend someone

[31:55] see this just because like

[31:57] it is an experience

[31:59] it is totally different

[32:02] than anything else that we've watched and it is insane

[32:06] it changed my life when I was attacked by that shark and my legs were torn off

[32:11] I wish people could but I really was sexually assaulted by that shark yeah I got some

[32:15] clarity though

[32:16] um... I don't want to be sexually assaulted by that shark

[32:19] is this like Jabberjaw?

[32:23] is it like Jabberjaw molesting you is that what you're talking about?

[32:27] hey come on no one's around

[32:30] um... this is our little secret

[32:33] you had that prepared

[32:35] listen I guess this is the first time I've thought about Jabberjaw molesting

[32:38] somebody come on he's got forty minutes of Jabberjaw material

[32:43] so let me get this straight literally half of that is molestation based jokes

[32:48] that's what almost got him on to Star Trek once the rest is uh... drumming

[32:51] technique based jokes

[32:55] it must be hard to drum underwater I mean think of all the drag

[32:59] uh... no I just it's just such a strange experience to watch this movie but it is

[33:03] terrible and it made me angry in a way

[33:06] that these movies often do not because

[33:10] like I said before it's an animated film

[33:12] like there was a lot of work put into this compared to

[33:16] just animated

[33:19] no it was animated

[33:21] yeah but I mean it wasn't very lively

[33:25] no I guess in that dictionary you're welcome guys

[33:28] that Victorian era Stewart suddenly stepped in

[33:34] gay people they don't seem too happy to me

[33:37] alright bad bad movie to sum up

[33:39] I'm also going to give it a bad bad movie it does feel like

[33:42] watching it does remind you that there are many movies that a lot of people put

[33:45] a lot of hard work into that never get seen

[33:48] because they're not good or for various reasons

[33:51] and just like

[33:53] yeah it is uh...

[33:55] and just the fact that you're imagining

[33:59] just the fact that you're imagining

[34:01] uh... Eric Idle and uh... Anne Bancroft and so forth just in a voiceover booth

[34:05] with this script in front of them you know

[34:07] it's kind of you know it's a weird thing

[34:10] hit the chilies afterwards like the local chilies together afterwards

[34:13] yeah because I'm sure they all recorded their lines at the same time

[34:17] I don't I mean I don't know that much about Hollywood dude you don't have to be a dick about it

[34:23] I thought they were like you and me they go to Applebee's on a Saturday night

[34:27] this is what like when you were a kid and you watched movies and there were

[34:30] famous actors who were kind of slumming in those movies

[34:33] a lot of times you couldn't tell how little effort they were putting into

[34:36] their performances

[34:37] like Dolph Lundgren in Masters of the Universe

[34:39] yeah exactly or Frank Langella actually Frank Langella puts a lot of work in Masters of the Universe

[34:43] or uh...

[34:44] oh man uh... Martin Sheen in Spawn

[34:48] yeah exactly has to be like the worst big name performance that I've seen in movies

[34:52] when you're really young you don't notice but I think even a kid watching this would be like

[34:56] come on guys where's the verve like

[34:58] you're not really putting a lot of oomph into these line readings

[35:01] Eric Idle's performance was a couple notches below his performance as Rincewind

[35:05] in the Discworld

[35:07] PC video game from years ago

[35:10] wow

[35:11] that's one for all you Terry Pratchett fans out there

[35:16] alright well let's

[35:17] let's put a bow on Delgo

[35:19] let's put a bullet in this one and we never have to talk about it again

[35:23] let's make a pact never to talk about it again Delgo backwards is ogled

[35:28] that's all you need to know

[35:29] it's not true

[35:31] well yes it is

[35:33] that's how you spell the word

[35:36] D-E-L-G-O

[35:37] O-G-L-E-D

[35:39] ogled?

[35:40] uh...

[35:41] okay don't make Dan think right now

[35:45] I have a letter

[35:49] okay you have a letter

[35:50] look I have a sleep disorder I can't focus

[35:53] that's the apnea talking

[35:55] uh... so

[35:57] guys I have a letter from a listener

[36:00] uh... this is from Matt last name withheld

[36:03] and it says

[36:05] hey floppers

[36:06] it sounds a lot like double impact but the Natasha Henstrid's movie that

[36:11] Elliot was thinking about

[36:12] was Maximum Risk

[36:17] yeah this is very helpful because we are in fact too lazy to just go to IMDB

[36:22] after these shows so

[36:24] as much as you guys can uh... it's like a ice cream place

[36:29] yeah the country's best movies

[36:32] that is what you will not get on the flop house

[36:36] he says

[36:37] I was planning on entering the contest but I refused to fly

[36:40] now I could have driven to New York but that's too much trouble instead I propose

[36:44] you guys come to one of the flyover states

[36:47] parentheses Minnesota

[36:49] and do a flop house on the road

[36:52] I have some kick-ass custom speakers and forty inch widescreen HDTV and since I

[36:56] don't live in a New York brownstone

[36:58] we don't have to worry about upsetting the neighbors with our overly loud

[37:01] destruction sequences like in Knowing

[37:04] plus

[37:05] there's a Popeyes in Minnesota so I'll pay for all the Popeyes you can eat

[37:09] I should hope there's a Popeyes in Minnesota it's a state

[37:13] that would be sad

[37:14] he finishes it with

[37:15] come on over

[37:16] I dare you whoa oh man that's like when a girl acts sassy you know she wants it

[37:21] yeah she wants you to rise to the challenge he knows our weakness

[37:26] much like

[37:27] Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2 and 3 but not in 1 is being dared

[37:32] and that we literally cannot pass up a dare ever that's true well he also

[37:36] mentioned that there's Popeyes for Elliot I love that

[37:39] he's in Minnesota so he probably has some kind of a cardboard stand-up of a girl

[37:43] in a bikini for me yeah and beer for you and beer of Minnesota

[37:48] and then there's probably oh there's a nice TV for you Dan I can enjoy

[37:52] Minnesota's thriving art scene while we're there

[37:54] yeah that sounds cool I was in Minnesota last year and I did not get to experience

[37:58] the place the way I would have liked so maybe we should go I've lived in

[38:02] Minneapolis for a while

[38:03] we should rent like yeah let's rent scooters and drive to minibikes

[38:06] and ride them to Minnesota

[38:10] let's rent Dan you lived in Minnesota for a little bit? yeah

[38:13] but first of all let's rent a motorcycle with two sidecars and that's how we should do it

[38:17] oh that's so awesome

[38:20] wow that is the greatest thing I've ever heard of

[38:23] I hope that the two sidecars detach

[38:26] and wings come out like the mask action figures

[38:29] what would your mask look like? oh I don't know

[38:32] mine would be some kind of animal totem like an eagle

[38:35] I think mine would be a mask

[38:39] well I was just gonna say it looks like you're taking Ernie Hudson in Ghostbusters

[38:43] that's my mask right there

[38:46] Winston Zedmore you might know him as

[38:50] but I think someday maybe someday we'll make this trip

[38:53] come true how about that? yeah and to answer your question I'll let you know I lived in

[38:58] Minneapolis for a while

[38:59] I didn't know that how'd that work out? it was good what did you do there?

[39:03] I was a temp I didn't do anything I went there after college because I had a friend who lived there

[39:09] and we roomed there together after college I went to the big city

[39:13] Minneapolis but then I got engaged and I wanted to be closer to

[39:18] my wife

[39:21] that's what was on the t-shirt I gave her

[39:26] on our first anniversary

[39:29] that is the novelty t-shirt anniversary

[39:33] wait a novelty?

[39:36] it's formal attire

[39:39] yeah exactly well thank you very much for inviting us into your home

[39:44] Matt last name withheld so now we should move on to recommendations so just to

[39:48] clarify that isn't a complete

[39:50] turndown of his suggestion no we have to

[39:53] consider logistics well yeah more of a punch

[39:56] we all have we all have jobs it we don't have

[40:00] busy schedules, we can't just drop everything and fly to Minnesota or take a motorcycle

[40:03] with two sidecars, as awesome as that would be.

[40:07] I could probably do it.

[40:11] I could blow off the next week, which is Thanksgiving and wedding planning with my fiancee and her

[40:18] family to go to Minnesota to meet a guy I've never met and watch a movie with him.

[40:24] Just tell her you're sick or something.

[40:28] The way it works with our relationship is I tell her I'm sick and then disappear for

[40:31] a couple days.

[40:32] Yeah, it sounds like a Ferris Bueller type thing where you have a dummy in the bed.

[40:36] I think that's a poon t-shirt quality decision that she made.

[40:41] Yeah, movies that you like.

[40:43] That's what we're on.

[40:44] Do I do that?

[40:45] Do you do what?

[40:46] Like movies?

[40:47] Like movies?

[40:48] You've forgotten.

[40:49] My life is a hell of Delgo.

[40:50] The last time you enjoyed a film.

[40:51] Jesus, yeah.

[40:52] Yeah, Dan, what have you seen lately that you like?

[40:57] Well, I actually haven't seen that much.

[40:59] Well, what kind of porn have you been watching?

[41:02] Primarily.

[41:03] You don't want to start talking about that.

[41:08] Why?

[41:09] You're afraid that I have some sort of deep, dark secret, aren't you?

[41:12] Yes.

[41:13] Okay.

[41:14] Well, I don't.

[41:15] Oh, really?

[41:16] You're pretty straightforward in regards to that?

[41:17] Anyway.

[41:18] It's a lot of missionary, maybe between the legs.

[41:24] Missionary classics.

[41:26] That's the name of the DVD I rented.

[41:28] They're actually pretending to be missionaries.

[41:31] And you've rented it repeatedly from the same video store, sure.

[41:34] Yeah.

[41:35] He should have just purchased it by this point.

[41:36] Yeah, you would think.

[41:37] He spent like $40 on that.

[41:38] Well, I like to support brick and mortar stores, because otherwise pornography is going to

[41:44] disappear from the rental scene.

[41:46] You're also concerned that if you owned missionary classics, you might either, A, damage the

[41:50] DVD by repeated viewings, or masturbate yourself to death.

[41:55] Would you like to make it more of like a special occasion where you put on some candles?

[41:58] Oh, like it's a wonderful life on television, you know?

[42:01] Sure, totally.

[42:02] Anyway.

[42:03] It means more when it's once a year.

[42:05] The best I can come up with, actually, is I saw A Serious Man.

[42:10] We were talking about it just before the podcast, and I enjoyed it quite a lot.

[42:16] I don't think it needs my support.

[42:18] It has a lot of critical support behind it.

[42:21] Elliot was wondering whether it played to a non-Jewish audience.

[42:25] Well, not whether it played, but what the experience of watching it is like.

[42:29] You know, it's like watching any movie about an experience which is not exactly your own.

[42:37] Impossible.

[42:39] Yeah, well, that's why I picked Del Go.

[42:44] That's why the only movies I've ever seen are Ghost World and Lucas.

[42:48] I noticed your big pixie wings that you have behind you.

[42:52] I'm like, huh, Elliot would appreciate Del Go.

[42:55] He's a lizard monkey.

[42:57] But I don't really have much to say about A Serious Man, actually, though,

[43:02] other than I feel like it's a very personal Coen Brothers movie,

[43:05] which is what I enjoy much more than, say, No Country for Old Men, which I did enjoy.

[43:12] It feels like this is one that really comes from inside them as opposed to outside of them.

[43:18] Yeah, exactly.

[43:20] Okay, who's next?

[43:22] Would you like me to go next?

[43:24] Sure.

[43:25] Because the movie I'm going to name is not...

[43:28] Okay, I'll go next.

[43:30] In the spirit of animated movies, I've been racking my brain to think of the stupidest movie I've ever seen.

[43:38] The stupidest animated movie I've seen, which I like a lot.

[43:42] This is one that you're recommending.

[43:43] Yeah, I'm going to recommend it because it's crazy.

[43:46] I watched this crazy fan-subtitled version of this Japanese animated movie called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

[43:56] It's put together by the same dude who made the Fist of the North Star thing,

[44:00] where the guy punches people and then they explode like ten minutes later.

[44:04] Well, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure involves a bunch of superhuman dudes who all have a magical power

[44:11] that's based loosely on the major arcana of the tarot.

[44:15] It's really awesome.

[44:18] One of the bad guys' names is Vanilla Ice.

[44:22] But he's not actually Vanilla Ice.

[44:25] He's not the popular actor.

[44:28] You know him primarily as an actor.

[44:31] He was in the movie Cool as Ice.

[44:33] He had a brief role in Ninja Turtles 2, Secret of the Ooze, as himself.

[44:40] He has the hardest role to play.

[44:42] I was about to say Terminator 2, Secret of the Ooze, which would be a pretty interesting movie.

[44:47] So you have Vanilla Ice as one of the bad guys.

[44:50] And then, of course, the principal bad guy, whose magical power is based on the world,

[44:56] which allows him to stop time and punch people in half,

[45:00] is, of course, the ancient, I think, Mayan vampire, Dio.

[45:06] Ronnie James Dio?

[45:08] I wish it was Ronnie James Dio.

[45:10] It's just another bad guy named Dio.

[45:12] So if you want to watch something totally crazy, watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

[45:18] That one was for all those otakus out there, by the way.

[45:22] Oh, tacos, yeah.

[45:25] No.

[45:27] Just go.

[45:28] I love tacos.

[45:29] You might call me a taco otaku.

[45:34] For a movie that's not crazy all over entirely but does have a certain amount of crazy to it,

[45:40] a movie I saw recently that actually I liked a lot was a silent film from the days before talkies

[45:47] called The Penalty, starring Lon Chaney Sr.,

[45:50] and he is a guy who, as a child, he was in an accident,

[45:55] and an inexperienced doctor amputated both of his legs from the knee down,

[45:59] and this has driven him crazy.

[46:01] And he is now a crime boss.

[46:03] As an adult, he's now a crime boss named Blizzard,

[46:06] who has a very elaborate plan to get revenge on the now-older doctor who did this to him.

[46:12] And it's the movie where Lon Chaney, if people know it,

[46:16] because it's the movie where Lon Chaney devised a harness for himself

[46:20] that basically strapped his legs back against themselves

[46:23] so that he had to walk around on his knees, and it was incredibly painful.

[46:26] But he does such a good job of putting across this guy who moves very fluidly on his stumps

[46:33] and climbs around with his arms and is super evil,

[46:36] and it resolves itself in a very crazy, unbelievable way.

[46:41] Like Basket Case?

[46:43] Not quite as crazy as Basket Case.

[46:46] But it's a movie where this guy is a crime boss who has a –

[46:49] his goal is to basically bring in an army of foreign immigrants

[46:53] to loot the entire city of San Francisco that he's located in.

[46:58] But it was really good.

[47:00] The version I saw was on Turner Classic Movies,

[47:02] and I think that's the version available on DVD,

[47:04] which had a pretty neat kind of modern-ish soundtrack with a lot of –

[47:09] it almost sounded like not exactly synthesizer sounds, but not –

[47:13] it was not like some soundtracks for silent movies

[47:16] where they're trying to replicate the original experience,

[47:18] so it's like a tinny piano playing the same thing over and over again.

[47:21] But the soundtrack actually added a lot of nice elements to it.

[47:24] Like hip-hop and stuff?

[47:26] Yeah, there's a lot of hip-hop, a lot of Daft Punk techno-type stuff.

[47:29] That sounds pretty cool.

[47:31] A lot of trip-hop.

[47:32] Oh, wow. I don't even know what that is.

[47:34] At one point, Lon Chaney crunks and –

[47:37] What?

[47:38] But he doesn't have legs.

[47:40] All right.

[47:42] So, guys, that wraps up this 50th show.

[47:46] Well, we had a lot of laughs.

[47:47] Yeah, sure.

[47:48] And a lot of tears.

[47:49] I look forward to keeping doing more until –

[47:53] 50 more?

[47:54] No, it's keeping –

[47:55] At least 50 more.

[47:56] I look forward to doing more until such time as we decide we have better things to do.

[48:02] We'll do at least 50, right?

[48:03] Yeah.

[48:04] I mean, come on, Dan.

[48:05] Well, we've done at least 50.

[48:07] 50 more?

[48:08] We've got to take it to 100.

[48:09] I don't have that much going on.

[48:11] All right, we'll see.

[48:12] Okay.

[48:13] We'll just take it one day at a time.

[48:14] Stuart's mustache recently died, and since then, he's been looking for things to fill the time.

[48:18] I had to bury it.

[48:19] With a big hole in his upper lip.

[48:21] Anyway.

[48:23] I buried it at Potter's Field.

[48:26] Oh, that's horrible.

[48:27] I know.

[48:28] A beggar's burial?

[48:29] Yeah.

[48:30] In an unmarked grave?

[48:31] Yeah.

[48:33] On that absurd image, I'd like to sign off saying that I was Dan McCoy.

[48:39] I'm Stuart Wellington.

[48:41] And I will always be L.E. Kaelin.

[48:43] Yay forever and ever without beginning or end for all eternity.

[48:47] Amen.

[48:48] Auf Wiedersehen.

[48:58] Check, check, check, check.

[48:59] Dan's favorite thing.

[49:02] We do our audio check.

[49:04] Dan loves this part.

[49:05] Jam on the ones.

[49:08] The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue.

[49:12] All right, guys.

[49:13] Did we watch a movie tonight?

[49:15] What's going on?
