The Flop House: Episode #47 - The Unborn

[0:00] Hibbik shmibbik. Pass the ham. We talk about the unborn.

[0:30] Hey everybody and welcome to the Flophouse. I'm Dan McCoy. I'm Stuart Wellington. I'm

[0:39] Elliot Kalin, don't you know. Alright. That's my Fargo impression. Oh, okay. So everyone,

[0:45] don't you know. Fargo? Yeah, like the movie. Oh, right. What were you saying, Dan? No,

[0:51] you know. I haven't seen you guys in a while. Yeah, right. At least since yesterday. I saw

[0:55] you yesterday. Yeah, I saw you guys at a street fair. Yeah. In Brooklyn, Brooklyn,

[0:59] New York. You said it the way the Dutch would have said it. 300, 400 years ago. In your

[1:05] Brooklyn, New York. Do you have some tube steaks, guys? I mean, penises? Hot dogs. Oh,

[1:14] see, I would have called that a hot dog. I didn't have any. I did get to see some antique buses.

[1:21] Yeah. You were very excited about the antique buses. You sent a text saying that you were

[1:26] going to be at Court Street and such and such a place and I was like, okay, we're walking to you

[1:32] and then we got to that place and we're like, where's Elliot? And we called you and you're

[1:37] like, oh, we got sidetracked by the antique buses. Yeah, they're awesome. I love antique

[1:41] transportation. I bet that story was a lot less boring when it was happening. Yeah, I didn't get

[1:46] to have a tube steak either, although I was really hoping when I was there to get a tube steak with

[1:50] a corn condom on it. You mean a corn dog? Yeah, but I didn't get one when I walked past the first

[1:57] place because I thought there was another one. That's a long story. I know Dan was searching

[2:01] for sangria the entire time and when we split up and went our separate ways, Daniel, I noticed

[2:05] there was a sangria stand steps away from where we had just been standing and where you just left.

[2:10] And it said, no Dan's. It said, Dan McCoy's welcome. Oh, no shit. It was too late.

[2:16] It was the gallon of sangria I had already had that prevented me from seeing the other sangria.

[2:21] Ironic. Yeah. Ironic is what it is. Oh, Henry himself could not have done better.

[2:27] You know what this month is, guys? What's that? Shocktober.

[2:32] You mean we're on channel 11 right now? WPIX, New York's movie station? Yeah.

[2:37] And that's a regional joke. Those who grew up in this region.

[2:41] Halloween host. Stuart is wearing a low cut dress. Sure. It's very revealing.

[2:49] Very tight around the hips. My hair, black wig. Yeah. My wig is all the way down to my bottom.

[2:55] Came up out of a coffin. Yep. I did actually. I'm still kind of covered in webs.

[3:02] Well, Stuart, as our rubber bat on a string, as our haunted host, would you like to introduce

[3:07] tonight's movie? Yeah, it was. Wait, let me check the piece of paper. It was a spooky treat called

[3:14] The Unborn. Wow. That's pretty good. I'm glad you wrote it down. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was really

[3:22] scary. I don't know if I can explain this movie. Sure you can. I think the movie was about like a

[3:29] Jewish demon or something. It started off being about a Jewish spirit, and then it became near

[3:36] the end of the movie, they made a point to say this isn't really a Jewish spirit. Yeah. Well,

[3:40] you got to open it up to all sectors if you want to have a blockbuster success. Well,

[3:45] it's interesting because I came to the realization a long time ago that for

[3:49] most horror movies that are demon related to work, or even bigger ones like Rosemary's Baby

[3:54] or The Exorcist or The Omen, you have to for two hours, you have to say, OK, for this to be scary,

[4:00] I believe in the tenets of a certain kind of Catholic Catholic apocalypticism. Catholic.

[4:07] But like for the next two hours, I believe that the devil is real. I believe that Christ is the

[4:13] Lord. I believe in hell. And I believe Roman Polanski didn't rape a small girl. No, you can

[4:18] still believe that and enjoy Rosemary's Baby. But it was nice to see a movie where. Wait, what?

[4:25] It was nice to see a movie where. Sure, you haven't read the newspapers this week, I assume.

[4:29] What? What about? Wait, Roman Polanski did what? It happened 30 years ago.

[4:36] Whoa. Wait, we're talking about child right now? I thought we were talking about a movie.

[4:40] Let's talk about the movie. Let's get off of this terrible subject that I don't know why it was

[4:44] brought up. OK, yeah, come on. Let's keep it. Let's go back on to I mentioned Rosemary's Baby.

[4:50] You have to bring up the worst possible aspect of it. Anyway, I was just saying it was nice to see

[4:55] a movie where I didn't have to as a Jewish person who doesn't believe in, you know, Christianity and

[5:00] all sorts didn't have to decide like, OK, I'm going to buy into this faith that I don't believe

[5:07] in for two hours to make the movie work for me. This movie didn't necessarily work for me.

[5:11] But the the fact that it started off Jewish and then got to a point where they were like,

[5:16] this is just some kind of crazy demon. It probably predates religion. They said it was like,

[5:20] oh, OK, I don't have to I don't have to kind of fake a belief in hell for this thing to be scary.

[5:26] Yeah, I was just saying that and then Dan took it off into this. Oh, that's what ridiculously

[5:33] over here. And then just you're right. You are trying to figure out what you're going to say

[5:38] next is our horror host. Yeah, I was writing down like spooky lines and crossing them out with a

[5:43] big magic marker on a cue card. I still don't have any. Well, maybe I'll get back to you guys.

[5:51] Well, we can talk about what the movie was about then. OK, so, yeah, you want me to summarize this

[5:57] one? I'm really good at it. Let's let's see what see how what you can do. OK, the movie.

[6:02] The movie begins, right? Right. No, no, no, no. Stewart's correct. So far, the movie did be.

[6:11] OK, so I'm going to argue with that. OK, guys, imagine this movie begins. This chick has his

[6:17] dream where there's like a crazy kid, right? And like a dog with a fucking mask on, that shit's

[6:22] fucking crazy. And then she goes under. It turns out that this was a dream. Like at first, you're

[6:29] like, oh, is she in like a magical world or something like that? OK, so it turns out she's

[6:35] babysitting for this fucking crazy little kid who talks like that kid from the sixth sense,

[6:38] like a grown up or something. And he smashes her face with a mirror. He says Jambi wants to be

[6:43] born. Yeah, Jambi. No, it's Jamba. Jambi. That's right. You're thinking of Jambi from Peewee's

[6:50] Playhouse. Jambi wants to be born. So it's fucking really weird because he totally smashes her in the

[6:53] face with his mirror and like nothing happens. She doesn't even have a mark on her face.

[6:57] OK, so fast forward later on. She keeps having these fucking dreams that there's this fucking

[7:02] little kid in a mirror. And it looks like the little dead kid from like the little dead kid

[7:08] from any horror thing. Yeah, the devil's backbone, but with like an outfit on. It does look like the

[7:12] kid in the devil's back. Yeah. So she's like, we're this kid's going to come and kill her or

[7:16] something. And then she's doing some Scooby-Doo shit and finds out that she used to like she had

[7:23] a twin that died in the womb and that her mom killed herself or something. Her mom went crazy.

[7:27] Yeah, went crazy and killed herself. Her mom in a surprisingly, it seemed Carl Gugino in a cameo,

[7:33] but no, it was Carl Gugino. It was Carl Gugino. Yeah. According to the Internet. I, you know,

[7:39] and so they gave Carl Gugino work, which means I like the movie to a certain extent already.

[7:44] Yeah. So she finds out that this old lady at this old folks home is her grandma and her grandma

[7:50] tells her this crazy story that about the Holocaust. I wasn't paying that much attention.

[7:55] When she heard this old lady, she knows a crazy story about the Holocaust. Let's make it clear

[7:59] that Stuart is not Holocaust denying. That's a crazy story about a Holocaust of some kind.

[8:05] Whatever. This old lady who turns out is her grandmother says she was a child during the

[8:13] Holocaust. She was twins and she had a twin brother and that the Nazis were obsessed with

[8:17] twins and discovering the medical secret genetic secrets of twins, which is true to a certain

[8:22] extent, and that they were obsessed with creating blue eyes and brown eyed kids, which I don't know

[8:27] if it's true. Somehow in the crazy, like Kate Bosworth, obsessed with creating Kate Bosworth.

[8:33] I guess so. Sorry, I totally derailed you. Now I'm thinking about Superman Returns

[8:40] and how terrible it is. So they but somehow they use experiments that are part medical,

[8:46] part occult. And through that. All cop.

[8:51] Through that. Dan, you're a firecracker today. Through that, they somehow bring into

[8:57] this plane of reality a dybbuk, which is or dybbuk, as they keep saying, which is a bodiless

[9:03] spirit in Jewish mysticism. It's, I guess, someone who dies. They don't get into heaven,

[9:08] so they wander the earth, unable to interact with the physical realm. And it's a very horrible

[9:12] punishment in this. The dybbuk can possess a body, possesses her brother's body after it dies

[9:20] from these experiments, comes back. She kills him or he dies in the camps or something like that.

[9:26] She has a daughter. The daughter has twins. One of the twins is going to be this possessed by this

[9:32] dybbuk because Jumbie wants to be born, dies in the womb. And now this thing Jumbie is angry at

[9:38] the family and wants revenge on everyone. So, yeah. Yeah. And that whole deal about not being

[9:44] able to interact with the physical world, that's crazy, man, because like that ghost is making her

[9:50] see all kinds of shit. She's flipping out. Well, it seems like at the end, they're kind

[9:54] of disavowing that it's a dybbuk. Okay. Because, yeah, there's magic all over the place, man.

[10:00] aid of uh... gary oldman who's a rabbi is a rap he's the least

[10:05] jewish rabbi i think i've ever seen in a minute

[10:07] and it's like if they got mister t to play around

[10:11] and then like i think your friends are dying and stuff i'm trying to imagine

[10:14] that the uh... now i can't have a mystery to use the law it would fit on

[10:19] top of the kind of floating above his head because they are

[10:22] would like men to me i was

[10:25] and then they get interest elba

[10:27] who is an episcopal priest all also played basketball obsessed idris elba

[10:32] i'm not yet which means that you're saying you think he's now been as many

[10:36] flophouse movies as nicholas cage i'd like to know the old she was in a lot of

[10:39] them uh... yes you have a bunch

[10:42] just galva i think that no one has been in more than three

[10:45] i think that just galva has been three i think mccain's been three i think it is

[10:49] a is if this podcast is written by david goyer like the movie we watched was

[10:53] tonight

[10:54] we would explain how the number three is important

[10:57] uh... because it's relation to three represent i just read in a book yet

[11:01] three represents the trinity and uh... buddhism it's also blah blah blah blah

[11:05] blah blah yeah i that's that's good writing

[11:08] there's a lot of media dude watching a horror movie needs to find out why the

[11:11] number ten is important in a fucking like exorcism ritual he's just let him

[11:15] know something is it that uh...

[11:17] gary allman says

[11:18] ten is the number of such-and-such is in the such-and-such in the blah blahs

[11:22] all he has to say

[11:23] there's really no reason there has to be

[11:25] ten for this bullshit ceremony but all he has to say is

[11:28] you need ten people that you need ten men to make a minion

[11:30] that's a that's a jewish prayer group you need ten men done ok great and you

[11:34] need some extra bodies around when the demon shows up and starts totally acing

[11:38] them all that's the real reason so someone can get killed that's not our hero so they go

[11:41] back to the decrepit abandoned hospital that her mother died in because i guess

[11:45] just open to the public

[11:46] in the middle of the night

[11:48] uh... is a historical landmark

[11:51] sure it looks like they haven't been the place in seventy years

[11:55] but uh...

[11:56] well this exorcism ceremony one by one everybody's getting killed yep everybody's

[12:00] getting crossed out

[12:01] uh... and gary allman wakes up the demon by blowing this giant bedazzled shofar

[12:07] but it's covered in red sequins it is the gayest most flamboyant shofar

[12:13] i've ever seen and the horn is enormous

[12:15] yeah it looks like he got it off of like some sort of elk

[12:19] so and then the demon shows up and likes big shofars

[12:22] uh... it waxes a couple dudes and then jumps into Idris Elba's body and he runs around

[12:27] like he got the rage virus injected into his uh... bloodstream

[12:32] and then uh... he gets killed and then her boyfriend gets uh... possessed and

[12:36] then

[12:37] somehow she manages to grab the perfect page that allows her to finish the

[12:42] from this book that she looks at it

[12:44] this book fucking explodes

[12:46] earlier in the movie

[12:48] i guess the old lady tells her to get the book of shadows or book of mirrors

[12:52] the book of mirrors

[12:54] and she goes to the library

[12:57] wait she gets the president's book of secrets? no not the last book

[13:02] she goes to the library

[13:03] i'm going to have to become the president

[13:06] i wish that was the plot of that movie

[13:07] national treasure two

[13:10] run for the white house

[13:12] but she goes to the library she types into the regular card catalog computer

[13:17] book of mirrors

[13:18] the entry comes up for this 400 500 year old hebraic tome

[13:24] of kabbalistic secrets with a fucking lock on it and they let her take it

[13:29] to look at in the reference room and she just

[13:31] picks it up and walks out with it

[13:33] and it's ridiculous

[13:34] that book should not be in

[13:36] the digitized catalog and the weirdest thing is when she goes up to talk to gary oldman

[13:40] he's like weird

[13:41] he's running all over the place if you just let that circulate

[13:44] and gary oldman was even like

[13:45] where did you get this like she got it at the fucking library they just had it

[13:49] she didn't even try like she didn't even have to pull in like i don't know all of her

[13:52] credit or her like street fingers well they didn't even need to use an

[13:55] interlibrary loan to get it from you know

[13:58] the yeshiva university library

[14:01] you know i feel like the

[14:03] listener at home's head is spinning

[14:05] because they're possessed by a demon

[14:08] this is the most

[14:09] complex movie and i can just boil it down

[14:12] basically

[14:13] there's a possessing spirit

[14:15] it's been bedeviling this family for like three generations

[14:19] and now it's trying to possess the youngest female member of the family

[14:23] because jumbie wants to be born

[14:26] jumbie jumbo was a famous elephant and the holocaust is thrown in there just to

[14:30] make it more distasteful yeah that was

[14:33] there were there were a lot of genuinely creepy images in this and then

[14:36] they had to throw in the holocaust and it makes everything

[14:39] it makes you angry at them for doing that

[14:42] to remind you of something that's genuinely horrible as opposed to just

[14:45] crappy and

[14:46] tawdry

[14:47] on the other hand uh... gary oldman is in a yarmulke

[14:50] so that was great which is

[14:52] oh no saves the movie certainly

[14:54] there's a there's a great scene makes the movie worthwhile there's a great scene

[14:57] where he shouts at a dog with an upside down head

[15:01] i like that what does he say he's like don't paw the furniture get out of here

[15:06] get out of here

[15:07] and when they're in this like really weird uh...

[15:09] what was that like a theater it looked like an abandoned theater space in his synagogue

[15:13] it was like

[15:14] with like paper flying all over the place

[15:16] there's a lot of paper flying around this movie was big on winds blowing paper around yeah

[15:20] but uh... there were some neat there were some genuinely neat images there were some cool

[15:24] effects like weird mouth effects well we'll get to the final judgment later

[15:29] yeah there's there's a lot of uh...

[15:31] surprise shots of a ghost kid with a giant mouth clawing at people it got to a point

[15:37] where like

[15:38] she there were so many surprise shots of this ghost kid attacking the main hero

[15:43] heroine

[15:44] you got to the point where you're like she must be used to it by now

[15:47] certainly she just does she just takes it in stride that this ghost kid is appearing

[15:50] she would start getting pissed off and the thing is like this ghost kid shows up and

[15:54] just totally starts smoking people like he's like

[15:57] oh you're flying around I'm killing you oh now you fold in half like he's super magic

[16:01] yeah why the fuck did he like beat around the bush this long well that's one of the

[16:04] things about all ghost movies yeah the ghosts don't make themselves clear

[16:10] and why if he has these powers doesn't he go straight for the person he wants to kill

[16:14] as opposed to everyone else yeah why does it wait I mean is it like a hubris or something

[16:19] it doesn't allow us to have one of the greatest car crashes or one of the greatest car hits

[16:23] I've ever seen in a movie

[16:26] her best friend Romy is driving around just bopping to music and suddenly out of nowhere

[16:32] music is played at a very sensible volume yes she's not distracted at all she's driving

[16:39] very well and slowly on a deserted suburban street hands a 10-2 gently nodding her head

[16:44] to the music sure and there's a this is the kid who hit the main character in the face

[16:49] with the mirror earlier has become kind of the dybbuk's main go-to body to possess

[16:54] because if you're going to possess a body why not a small child

[16:57] well why not the least powerful

[17:00] yep it really doesn't make sense why he would go for such an unthreatening figure

[17:05] yeah she's driving and he is he's on his big wheel trike and out of nowhere just zooms

[17:11] in front of the car not even in front of the car he's like riding on the like the heel

[17:15] like the side of the road he seems to be coming at the car almost at a side angle yeah like

[17:20] perpendicular to the road and she looked and like the shot from the windshield makes it

[17:23] look like she's driving right off the road and she and he is hit in such a way that he

[17:29] flips up over the back of the car and when she goes around he's just standing up fine

[17:34] no problem and says something threatening to her but it's just so it comes out of nowhere

[17:38] and looks so silly that it was great you'd probably go under the car i mean he's not

[17:43] he's not he doesn't have very large profile no he would be crushed by the car he's not

[17:48] there's no way that he's tall enough that he the part of the body that needs to be hit

[17:51] for him to flip in the air is is getting i mean it's funny that he flipped up over

[17:55] the car no it made it better certainly but the way that he go the way he comes in on

[17:59] the trike it seems very clear to me that he was he's a computer effect that was kind of

[18:03] added in so it almost looks like they shot this footage of romey driving around and they're

[18:08] like we better scare up this footage oh well we'll just insert the kid you know driving

[18:13] into the car good stuff and um funny enough spoiler alert guys it's that little kid ends

[18:20] up stabbing romey to death with a knife later on yeah and michelle had to live her days

[18:24] out alone yeah no one to go to the high school reunion with it's very sad everybody lives

[18:29] in really big nice houses in this movie yeah they live in a in a some of them live in castles

[18:34] basically yeah houses like a palatial estate i think they're all heiresses it's possible

[18:41] well that's not scary there's a lot of sort of vagueness in this movie like i was never

[18:46] clear on how old our heroine was supposed to be because she comes home at the beginning

[18:51] of the movie uh babysitting babysitting and having an adventure in that yeah and saying

[18:58] hi to her dad before she goes to bed and then in the next few scenes she's going to what

[19:03] appears to be a college class and then like having sex with her boyfriend in her room

[19:08] and just like not even like hiding that at all the dad is not a good dad the dad seems

[19:13] to disappear for most of the film and they don't really have sex you just see her like

[19:16] lying on his naked chest they could have just had handjobs or something but i guess that's

[19:20] sex yeah it's implied that they had sex they just they just they just shared some handjobs

[19:25] they had the menu yes i look in the menu i got a six pack of handjobs i'm not gonna finish

[19:29] it myself do you want to finish it with me how much are the handjobs they look reasonable

[19:34] so but i mean i know guys handjobs still sex okay you know what i mean i mean it's still

[19:39] intimate contact but like i'm just trying to clarify so the viewer's not like oh wait

[19:43] there's a sex scene in this maybe i'll watch no there is not there's nothing but the implication

[19:47] of a sexy let me tell you that you know we are all human men we are three what human

[19:52] males as far as you know healthy human males sure uh varying degrees of health we have

[19:57] to admit that one thing that drew us

[20:00] to this movie, above all other Shocktober options, was the fact that the poster for

[20:06] this film unabashedly featured the lead female backside in very trimmed cotton panties as

[20:17] she looked into the mirror and like there was the horrible kid looking out of her...

[20:22] Jumbo or whatever.

[20:23] Jumbie.

[20:24] Jumbo is a famous elephant.

[20:25] And I was saying, you know, ahead of time, like, oh, you know, this is just a, come on,

[20:30] you know, like...

[20:31] Surely that scene won't appear.

[20:32] It's an exploitation film.

[20:33] Yeah, they're not going to have a scene in the movie where the heroine is in her panties.

[20:37] But it's...

[20:38] It's right there.

[20:39] There's like five.

[20:40] There's like five of them.

[20:41] The woman just keeps going back into the bathroom in her underwear.

[20:43] It's like Boston Translation.

[20:44] Yeah.

[20:45] When she is by herself, the pants go off.

[20:49] And she stares into her bathroom mirror.

[20:51] I heard that.

[20:52] But again, and this is going to sound crass of me.

[20:54] They obviously did some retouching on her unsaid backside in the poster.

[20:59] Yeah.

[21:00] It's noticeably shapelier.

[21:01] Yeah.

[21:02] You were very openly disappointed about her backside in the film.

[21:04] Yeah.

[21:05] I kicked over a table.

[21:06] Yep.

[21:07] I was disappointed.

[21:08] Surely, Elliot...

[21:09] I had to hold you back.

[21:10] You were swearing.

[21:11] Surely, Elliot, there would never be a horror movie poster that promises more than the film

[21:15] delivers.

[21:16] I'm just saying the poster promised a certain amount of shapeliness.

[21:18] You've got Carl Gugino in the film.

[21:21] Right.

[21:22] She could very easily...

[21:23] We all know your love for Carl Gugino.

[21:24] Yeah.

[21:25] She could very easily decide for the main character.

[21:26] All right.

[21:27] Well, maybe Elliot Cailin's The Unborn.

[21:29] You can make it the way you want to make it.

[21:30] Oh, if only.

[21:31] Oh, yeah.

[21:32] Elliot Cailin's The Unborn would be a very different movie.

[21:34] Let's hear about it.

[21:35] Yeah.

[21:36] What's the deal there?

[21:37] Well, for one thing, a whole lot more Jewish stuff.

[21:39] Yeah.

[21:40] Every one of the movies is Jewish.

[21:41] It takes place during Fiddler on the Roof times.

[21:43] Okay.

[21:44] So it's in the shtetl in Russia.

[21:45] Sure.

[21:46] Pale of Settlement.

[21:47] And it's the same basic plot otherwise.

[21:50] Just...

[21:51] And they break out into song every couple of minutes.

[21:53] Same actors though, right?

[21:54] No.

[21:55] Different actors.

[21:56] Topol.

[21:57] Let's see.

[21:58] Who else?

[21:59] Who would play Romi?

[22:00] The rest of the cast of Fiddler on the Roof.

[22:01] That's the best you can do.

[22:02] Well, I don't really have...

[22:03] Topol.

[22:04] Who would play...

[22:05] Other Jewish actors.

[22:06] Who would play Jambi?

[22:07] Jambi.

[22:08] I think I'd get Wallace Shawn probably.

[22:09] Yeah.

[22:10] How much better would the movie have been if it was Wallace Shawn saying, Jambi wants to

[22:11] be born.

[22:12] Yeah.

[22:13] Like that.

[22:14] Spooky.

[22:15] Yeah.

[22:16] Yeah.

[22:17] Yeah.

[22:18] Yeah.

[22:19] Yeah.

[22:20] Yeah.

[22:21] Yeah.

[22:22] Yeah.

[22:23] Yeah.

[22:24] Yeah.

[22:25] Yeah.

[22:26] Yeah.

[22:27] Yeah.

[22:28] Yeah.

[22:29] Yeah.

[22:30] Like that.

[22:31] Speaking of Jambi, is Mekelechahi Mekehaneo Hebrew?

[22:32] I don't believe so.

[22:33] Okay.

[22:34] I don't believe so.

[22:35] There's not a lot of Hebrew genies.

[22:36] No.

[22:37] They tend to be Arab.

[22:38] Conflicting ideologies.

[22:39] But what's...

[22:40] She looks into a lot of mirrors in this.

[22:41] She's always looking into things she shouldn't.

[22:42] And there's a scene where she's in the bathroom of the club she went to.

[22:46] And as Stuart pointed out, she is looking in a mirror again.

[22:50] She knows mirrors are scary.

[22:51] She looks in another one.

[22:53] It scares her.

[22:54] She's throwing up out of fright.

[22:55] And there's very clearly a glory hole in the wall of the urinal.

[22:58] Yeah.

[22:59] It's openly a glory hole.

[23:00] And she starts moving towards it very slowly.

[23:02] Yeah.

[23:03] Putting her eye up to the glory hole.

[23:04] Putting her eye up to it.

[23:05] And you know something scary is going to come out of it.

[23:06] In this case, it's a whole lot of bugs and like shit which are flying at her.

[23:08] Yeah.

[23:09] But she's not even like going to the opposite side of the fucking thing and get closer.

[23:12] Best case scenario, it's going to be a penis coming out of her eye.

[23:15] Yeah.

[23:16] She slides her fucking head along the same wall and like gets as close as possible.

[23:21] And I thought it was refreshing to see a horror film that uses a glory hole for whatever reason.

[23:27] It took me back to my days of using any of the public bathrooms at the NYU campus and

[23:33] realizing that people had made those holes into the dividers.

[23:36] Wow.

[23:37] On a non-glory hole related note, I did want to correct what you said was that you said

[23:42] that she started vomiting because she was sick.

[23:45] She was actually vomiting because she's pregnant with twins, one of which is going to be Jumbo

[23:50] Jr.

[23:51] Jumbo Jr.

[23:52] That's the secret.

[23:53] Jumbo Jr.

[23:54] The best hot dog brand in town, Jumbo Jr. hot dogs.

[23:58] That's the secret surprise shock ending at the end which is told in super flash cut scenes

[24:03] is that she's pregnant with twins, ba-ba-bum, one of them's probably Jumby.

[24:08] And you're supposed to, the audience member, feel stupid for not having seen all the signs

[24:11] rather than like me and not caring.

[24:13] Well, what were the other signs?

[24:15] She had sex.

[24:16] Yeah, sure.

[24:17] That's how it works.

[24:18] That's true.

[24:19] She...

[24:21] But when they show...

[24:22] She kept eating pickles and ice cream together.

[24:24] The image of those fetuses that they're showing are very well-developed.

[24:28] Like she should know.

[24:29] They're saying, they're like, you're pregnant with twins.

[24:32] And the image, they already have fingers.

[24:34] Like one of them winked or something, right?

[24:35] I don't think they...

[24:36] It would have been great if it did.

[24:37] But they already have fingers and faces like she's really far along.

[24:41] Yeah.

[24:42] Like possibly like the fetus turns and winks and it cuts immediately to like a heavy metal

[24:48] like scream and the guitars.

[24:52] You gotta have like a Sammy Hagar scream in there.

[24:56] Yeah.

[24:57] And then the credits, there are graphics of...

[24:58] The unborn flashes.

[24:59] There are graphics, like while the credits are rolling in the middle, maybe on the sides,

[25:02] there are animated graphics of the evil fetus like appearing and looking around and then

[25:06] running off to the side of the screen and then showing up with a guitar.

[25:10] Wearing like a little tuxedo or something?

[25:11] Yes.

[25:12] Wearing a tuxedo and holding a cigar.

[25:15] And Converse shoes.

[25:16] Sure.

[25:18] And Ali...

[25:19] Tails.

[25:20] Tails.

[25:21] Tails, yeah.

[25:22] Of course.

[25:23] Yeah.

[25:24] Like a Barren Samity style figure.

[25:25] So wait, she's giving birth to the New Year?

[25:29] Is that what's going on?

[25:30] Kind of, yeah.

[25:31] Basically, yeah.

[25:32] Baby New Year.

[25:33] But he's also a skeleton face.

[25:35] Yeah.

[25:36] Like Barren Samity.

[25:37] Yeah.

[25:38] Wow.

[25:39] So basically, The Unborn is about unborn babies.

[25:41] It's a pro-abortion.

[25:43] It is a very seriously, I assumed it was about an aborted baby that wanted to live and was

[25:49] coming back for revenge.

[25:50] It is not.

[25:51] Yeah.

[25:52] It is saying you should abort your children.

[25:53] Yeah.

[25:54] Because they will be evil.

[25:55] Yeah.

[25:56] Get rid of them shits.

[25:57] Yeah.

[25:58] You never know.

[25:59] There might be a Dybbuk.

[26:00] There is a Dybbuk inside you, which is not how Dybbuks work, but it still could be.

[26:03] The only other child in this film is a fucking, like a little demon vessel, like all kids.

[26:08] No way.

[26:09] No way.

[26:10] Get rid of them.

[26:11] It's an anti-kids movie.

[26:12] It's pro-kids, which is pro-kids.

[26:13] Yeah.

[26:14] Pro-kids.

[26:15] It's pro-kids.

[26:16] Pro-kid sneakers.

[26:17] Sure.

[26:18] It's pro-roos.

[26:19] Those sneakers that had little pockets in them.

[26:20] Oh, sure.

[26:21] Big enough to put like a penny in.

[26:22] Kids don't have a lot to carry around with them.

[26:23] Nowadays, all those kids wear those Heelys with the wheels.

[26:24] With the wheels.

[26:25] I wish I had those when I was a kid.

[26:26] Yeah.

[26:27] I would have hurt myself so bad on those.

[26:28] They would have been awesome.

[26:29] I dream of children hurting themselves while wearing those.

[26:30] Yeah.

[26:31] Yeah.

[26:32] Yeah.

[26:33] Yeah.

[26:34] Yeah.

[26:35] Yeah.

[26:36] Yeah.

[26:37] Yeah.

[26:38] Yeah.

[26:39] Yeah.

[26:40] Yeah.

[26:41] It's a lot of people wearing those, actually.

[26:42] They're not like sexual dreams or anything.

[26:43] They're just, you know.

[26:44] Well, Freud would say every dream has a sexual element.

[26:45] Oh, interesting.

[26:46] Yeah.

[26:47] But he was a pervert.

[26:48] Should we talk about that more?

[26:49] Sure.

[26:50] Well, Sigmund Freud was one of the great minds of the late 19th, early 20th century.

[26:51] Oh!

[26:52] He was in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

[26:53] He was in that, yes.

[26:54] Okay.

[26:55] And also The 7% Solution, where he treats Sherlock Holmes in the most boring way possible.

[26:56] Hey!

[26:57] That's a boring movie.

[26:58] That's a boring movie.

[26:59] It's a good book, though.

[27:00] I've never seen that movie.

[27:03] I've never read the book.

[27:04] I'm sure it's good.

[27:05] The movie is boring.

[27:06] I think Kelsey Grammer would make a good Sigmund Freud.

[27:07] If there was a sitcom about Freud.

[27:08] Yeah.

[27:09] And it was called, like, On the Couch.

[27:10] Dude, let's write that sitcom.

[27:11] I think that would be fun.

[27:12] Because Hank is going to be cancelled.

[27:13] Cancelled.

[27:14] You know, so.

[27:15] And he's going to be free, I bet.

[27:16] Yeah.

[27:17] McHale's Navy 2 is not starting filming for another year.

[27:18] That was up Periscope.

[27:19] Or down Periscope.

[27:20] Yeah.

[27:21] That Periscope movie.

[27:22] McHale's Navy starred a totally...

[27:23] Tom Arnold.

[27:24] Tom Arnold.

[27:25] Tom Arnold.

[27:26] Tom Arnold.

[27:27] Tom Arnold.

[27:28] Tom Arnold.

[27:29] Tom Arnold.

[27:30] Tom Arnold.

[27:34] Tom Arnold, Bruce Campbell, and Tim Curry.

[27:35] Come on!

[27:36] What?

[27:37] Pick your bad Mabel films straight.

[27:38] Come on.

[27:39] And don't even get mixed up with Sergeant Bilko.

[27:40] That was Steve Martin.

[27:41] Playing Phil Silvers.

[27:42] Phil Hartman.

[27:43] The late Phil Hartman in one of his final roles.

[27:44] Wait, Phil Hartman died?

[27:45] I've got to start reading these celebrity newspapers.

[27:46] Yeah, you're right.

[27:47] He died about 12 years ago.

[27:48] These celebrity newspapers that all the celebrities do.

[27:49] Celebrity newspapers called newspapers.

[27:50] I've got to read them.

[28:29] Yeah.

[28:30] I'm stuck in time.

[28:31] Yeah.

[28:32] Yeah.

[28:33] You're living all of the worst celebrity scandals all at once.

[28:34] That sounds like me.

[28:35] So we go from reading about Roland Plansky to talking to Fatty Arbuckle.

[28:42] To watching John Wilkes Booth kill the President.

[28:44] Wow.

[28:45] What?

[28:46] I don't know if that's a celebrity scandal.

[28:48] He was a celebrity.

[28:49] Yeah, but I...

[28:50] Wait, the President?

[28:51] Oh, so you're saying that it wasn't scandalous?

[28:53] It was not a controversial move to shoot the President in the head?

[28:58] Wow.

[28:59] Dan, in a strangely pro-Lincoln assassination stance.

[29:02] I just don't think that public opinion is the important thing in that case.

[29:03] I wasn't expecting that.

[29:04] It's like I don't even know you anymore.

[29:05] He keeps talking about rape.

[29:06] The death of the President.

[29:08] You better believe John Wilkes Booth's agent was on the phone with him saying, you've ruined

[29:12] your career.

[29:13] We've got to do some serious damage control, babe.

[29:14] Yeah, his name was Mud.

[29:16] Eh?

[29:17] Eh?

[29:18] Eh?

[29:19] Mud was a different person.

[29:20] All right.

[29:21] Who deserved what he got.

[29:22] Okay.

[29:23] So, thanks for taking me through the history books, guys.

[29:26] Yep.

[29:28] It was a kaleidoscopic version of American history.

[29:31] Yep.

[29:32] So, back to the business at hand, you know what I mean?

[29:36] Yep.

[29:37] We're talking about The Unborn, and I think it might be time for Final Judgments, unless

[29:42] we want to talk about glory holes and demons more.

[29:44] Well, no.

[29:45] I don't think so.

[29:46] Okay, so Final Judgments.

[29:47] We did not talk too much about the demon scenes, which were pretty cool.

[29:50] Which were like, with the scary face effects?

[29:52] Yeah, scary faces and bugs everywhere.

[29:53] Yeah.

[29:54] Did they use that editing style with the really ...

[29:58] It's all jittery?

[30:00] and flashy and there's like dudes whose heads turn upside down.

[30:03] I mean, it was better than normal in the movies we've seen.

[30:06] I mean, wait, like compared to what?

[30:08] Like compared to what at the end?

[30:09] Mirrors?

[30:10] Yeah, basically.

[30:11] Well, yeah, that's fair.

[30:12] But that didn't make it good.

[30:13] But mirrors had that great twist ending, so that made everything okay.

[30:17] What?

[30:18] Twist ending at the end of mirrors.

[30:20] You know where he ends up stuck in the mirror world.

[30:22] Wait, what movie was this?

[30:24] This is in mirrors.

[30:25] Which was?

[30:26] Keeper Sutherland.

[30:27] Keeper Sutherland.

[30:28] Wait, in that movie?

[30:29] That happened?

[30:30] Yes.

[30:31] At the end of that, he ends up in a mirror world.

[30:32] He's stuck in the mirror.

[30:33] What are you talking about?

[30:35] It's the twist ending.

[30:37] Get out of here.

[30:38] That didn't happen.

[30:39] And that was a Flophouse classic redux.

[30:41] Hey, okay, so.

[30:43] We're back.

[30:44] We're back.

[30:45] So Final Judgment, is that what we're doing?

[30:46] Yeah, let's do it.

[30:47] Final Judgment.

[30:48] So the special Shocktober categories for Final Judgment is.

[30:53] Uh-oh, that we will forget instantly.

[30:54] You're outdoing me again.

[30:56] Was this movie.

[30:57] Did you do the horror host?

[30:58] I'm terrible at this job.

[30:59] Was this movie totally scarifying, frighteningly funny, or totally snorifying?

[31:07] I put a lot of work into this.

[31:11] Yeah, I'm going to go.

[31:12] You know what?

[31:13] I think I'm going to go frighteningly funny.

[31:16] It was, you know, it was shitty, but there was, you know, there was some white cotton

[31:21] panties, and upside down head demons, and kids on.

[31:24] Sure.

[31:25] Kids getting run over by cars.

[31:27] Yeah, no, there was some laughs to be had.

[31:30] So, yeah, the unborn.

[31:32] Give it a watch, huh?

[31:33] Yeah, I, you know, if I was going to be charitable, I'd say frighteningly funny.

[31:37] I mean, it is a trim 88 minutes.

[31:40] Shorter than the movie 88 minutes.

[31:42] Yeah.

[31:43] By like 80 minutes.

[31:44] But there was also a lot of stuff that just, I don't know, there was just a lot of slow

[31:48] parts.

[31:49] And I was saying during the movie that I hate the trend in modern horror movies to have

[31:54] it be a mystery as well.

[31:56] Like a bunch of scary stuff happens and then our hero or heroine has to track down why

[32:02] all the scary stuff is happening by piecing together the events of the past.

[32:06] Like I would rather there be a situation given and our hero have to deal with that than to

[32:13] try and add some sort of mysterious obfuscation.

[32:18] I don't know if I'm saying that word correctly.

[32:20] Sure.

[32:21] Kind of.

[32:22] It's pronounced obfuscation.

[32:23] Obfuscation.

[32:24] I say, you know, try and spice it up.

[32:26] I think it's enough that like horrible things are happening without the mystery element.

[32:30] Well, you're an old school guy.

[32:32] Yeah.

[32:33] But yeah, I think it's a little snorifying.

[32:35] But there are some frighteningly funny parts.

[32:38] I am going to go with Stuart on this one and say frighteningly funny.

[32:41] Again, it was very short.

[32:43] I actually enjoyed some of the scare scenes, although they were kind of by the numbers.

[32:47] The rest of it is very bad, but there were some funny parts and it's short, like I said.

[32:51] There's a little kid getting hit by a car, Dan.

[32:53] All right.

[32:54] Two against one.

[32:55] That scene is very funny.

[32:56] Frighteningly so.

[32:57] Yeah.

[32:58] Oh, man.

[32:59] So the decision's been made.

[33:01] Judgment has been handed down.

[33:03] Yeah, by the judge gods.

[33:04] Maybe it's just that the last couple movies we've seen have been so bad.

[33:07] This one was a breath of crap air.

[33:10] Sure.

[33:11] Well, I guess you have handed down the law.

[33:13] Yeah.

[33:14] The ape shall not kill ape.

[33:15] Oh, you mean real law.

[33:17] Yeah.

[33:18] Like the Ten Commandments.

[33:20] Sure.

[33:21] Like ape law.

[33:22] Ape shall not kill ape.

[33:23] Shall ape kill human?

[33:25] You're late.

[33:26] I thought about going to ape law school to study ape law for a while.

[33:32] Not as much of a call for it as there once was.

[33:34] No.

[33:35] I deal mostly with ape family law.

[33:37] You know, estate planning, things like that.

[33:40] A lot of ape custody suits.

[33:44] Ape immigration law.

[33:45] Ape intellectual property theft.

[33:47] Wow.

[33:48] Ape intellectual property theft.

[33:51] That was Bobo's stick.

[33:54] You stole it, Coco.

[34:00] This is a surprisingly fertile vein, anyway, you're saying.

[34:04] So, I have in my hand a letter.

[34:07] Oh, really?

[34:09] That's what that is.

[34:11] It's from Colin, last name withheld.

[34:14] And the subject...

[34:15] That's family.

[34:16] It's huge.

[34:18] Here comes Peter Floppentale, and he says...

[34:21] He says, I am a Nigerian prince.

[34:25] Colin, I wish you could see Stuart's face when I read the subject heading.

[34:30] But he says...

[34:31] Have you ever seen Edvard Munch's The Scream?

[34:34] That's pretty much it.

[34:35] Wait, the movie The Scream?

[34:37] No, it's not a movie.

[34:39] Oh, right, that painting.

[34:41] The painting, or inflatable thing that you see in dorms.

[34:45] But this gentleman says, Colin, last name withheld, he says...

[34:48] Hello, fellas.

[34:49] I continue to love the podcast and eagerly await each new episode.

[34:53] Thank you.

[34:54] But I think you've been remiss for the last two years of flop history.

[34:57] What?

[34:58] You've not had a gimmick episode.

[35:00] Everyone remembers the must-see TV night where all the New York-based shows,

[35:03] except Seinfeld, were an electrical blackout.

[35:06] That's right, because Seinfeld is in LA, New York.

[35:09] Why not then an episode where the Flophouse crew take on each other's personalities?

[35:15] Or an episode where your respective Flophouse significant others portray Dan, Stuart, and Elliot?

[35:21] Or an episode of The Flophouse 2020?

[35:24] No?

[35:25] Okay, well, I've been meaning to provide you guys with a link on my somewhat popular movie monologue site.

[35:29] You can view it here at, and he gives the address, which I will post on the blog.

[35:34] Perhaps it will prove helpful in getting the word out in regard to The Flophouse.

[35:38] Now, I don't know if this is a contest entry for the Flophouse floppers to promote us.

[35:43] Through lack of entries, it might be drafted as one.

[35:46] Yeah, but it was nice of him to post our link, and he says some kind words on his website.

[35:54] Yeah.

[35:55] That's very nice.

[35:56] I think about these gimmick episode ideas, though.

[35:58] Yeah, I like future us.

[36:00] Yeah, Flophouse 2020 sounds pretty cool.

[36:02] Wait, that's a couple of years from now.

[36:04] Oh, or is it that one of us is Hugh Downs and one of us is Barbara Walters?

[36:08] Oh, I like that.

[36:09] And we're talking about stories you wouldn't see in the mainstream, in the nightly news, but that you should know about.

[36:14] Yeah, I think that sounds pretty good.

[36:16] I couldn't think of something that our significant others would be less interested in than doing a bad movie.

[36:22] I was thinking the same thing.

[36:23] They'd probably get bored.

[36:25] Yeah.

[36:26] They would be.

[36:27] They're talking about lady stuff.

[36:28] Yep.

[36:29] They'd probably talk about dirty dancing or something.

[36:30] Sure, like a cute boy they saw one time.

[36:33] That's what girls talk about.

[36:34] Yeah, or like that bump it thing they saw on TV.

[36:37] He was wearing a white dress.

[36:38] He was carrying a white parasol.

[36:40] I didn't see him for a minute.

[36:42] He didn't see me at all.

[36:44] But I bet a month hasn't gone by since.

[36:46] I haven't thought of that boy.

[36:47] That's right.

[36:48] That's what women are like.

[36:49] They're like Bernstein from Citizen Kane.

[36:51] They're just like Everett Sloan in Citizen Kane.

[36:53] What was the other one?

[36:54] It was 2020, significant others.

[36:55] Oh, we take each other's personality.

[36:57] Yeah, I think that that would just devolve into insulting each other.

[37:00] Probably.

[37:01] I'd be like Stewart and I'd be like, hey, dude, I've got a big penis.

[37:06] Elliot would be like, I'm Dan, stay on topic.

[37:10] I don't know.

[37:11] We'd get angry at each other.

[37:13] Probably.

[37:14] Fuck you, Dan.

[37:15] Although it does make me wish that we could start an episode saying, listeners note,

[37:20] before this episode, Dan, Stewart, and Elliot accidentally touched a magic skull

[37:24] and their personalities were transferred.

[37:27] They all beat up a gypsy woman before this podcast.

[37:30] She transferred from their brains into each other's brains.

[37:34] It was really weird, dudes.

[37:36] Then everything got cured.

[37:37] Now to the vlog house.

[37:38] It was kind of like how I wanted that show.

[37:40] You know that show Life on Mars that they redid over here in the old United States?

[37:44] In the colonies.

[37:45] I was always hoping that the opening bit of the open credits would show,

[37:50] have a song and have them like,

[37:52] and then he insulted a gypsy and she totally sent him into the past.

[37:58] That would be way better because then it would summarize everything.

[38:00] I'd be more interested.

[38:01] I just wanted the last episode of him to wake up and be like, it was all a dream on Mars,

[38:06] and it turns out he's actually an astronaut on Mars.

[38:09] Dude, that was totally the ending to the U.S. version.

[38:13] I didn't watch it, but I heard all these people complaining online about how crazy the ending

[38:18] to the U.S. version of Life on Mars was, and the ending was, you know, he wakes up.

[38:24] Spoiler alert.

[38:26] Spoiler alert to the show.

[38:27] Nobody watched, and that's why it's off the air.

[38:29] He's been in suspended animation as an astronaut,

[38:33] and he got to choose a vivid dream to keep his mind occupied while he was in suspended animation,

[38:40] and so he chose to be a cop.

[38:42] That is great.

[38:43] That is such a stupid, terribly unsatisfying great ending.

[38:49] That's like the end of Open Your Eyes.

[38:51] That's really dumb.

[38:53] By the way, there were no hints for this, but your brain is alive in a jar somewhere.

[38:58] Yeah, that sounds great.

[39:00] He was an astronaut.

[39:02] Because you know the network executives were like, well, when does Mars come into it?

[39:06] I don't understand.

[39:07] He's never going into outer space.

[39:09] David Bowie?

[39:11] That's what they said.

[39:13] That's exactly what they said.

[39:15] So that sounds great.

[39:17] I'm glad I brought up Life on Mars.

[39:20] Life on Mars.

[39:23] Oh, this is the part of the show you're looking at me for directions.

[39:27] Well, horror host, maybe you should host something.

[39:29] Okay, okay, boils and ghouls.

[39:32] I hope you're ready for some scary movie recommendations as it is Shocktober,

[39:37] so we're going to recommend some movies we actually like and may or may not have seen recently,

[39:42] starting with Elliot.

[39:44] Me?

[39:46] Yes, Elliot.

[39:47] Tell us a scary movie you liked.

[39:49] I'm going to mention two movies.

[39:51] Are they both scary?

[39:52] One is and one is not.

[39:54] Start with the scary one.

[39:57] Wow, he's really taking control.

[40:00] I love your horror host character went from Elvira to Saw to Jigsaw like do it

[40:07] Hey boys and ghouls. You've got it. You've got a decision to make

[40:11] Let's play a little game. Tell me two movies. One of them better be scary the thing

[40:16] I haven't seen any scary movies recently that I

[40:19] Really loved and I'm trying to think of one that I haven't recommended in the past

[40:24] I want to recommend but like I was ones I want to recommend

[40:27] I think I've recommended before like persona or in the mouth of madness or those are my favorite

[40:32] What about ghostbusters?

[40:35] Ghostbusters is not a scary movie, but I will mention that it is I was a kid

[40:39] It was really it is the 25th anniversary of Ghostbusters and I've been celebrating it all year. So

[40:44] But the movie I want so there's a bunch of scary movies out there. You can go see him

[40:48] Okay, persona scariest movie I ever saw in the mouth of madness my favorite John Carpenter movie personally

[40:53] But recently I saw a movie called his kind of woman starring Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell and

[40:59] Vincent Price and it is a movie that starts out as a film noir and then becomes kind of a

[41:05] Tongue-in-cheek film noir and then by the end is just out-and-out

[41:09] Comedy with some surprisingly violent scenes

[41:13] Like it's one of the few it's from

[41:15] 1951 I think but there's a scene where a guy gets shot in the chest and blood drips out of his chest and it's just

[41:21] Like but it was one of the more graphic scenes. I've seen in all movie, but it's a lot of fun

[41:25] Robert Mitchum's in it and Vincent Price has one of I think his best roles ever as a ham actor named Mark Cardigan who?

[41:34] is is in this resort that Robert Mitchum has been sent to by a famous crime Lord and

[41:41] basically decides to

[41:43] become a hero in it and there are these great scenes of Vincent Price like giving speeches to the other characters and

[41:49] Basically hamming it up and being really but his performance becomes very affecting so I recommend it a lot Daniel

[41:56] I'm having a hard time coming up with a good horror movie

[42:00] But I did see fairly recently

[42:03] The movie splinter about like oh they about the Ninja Turtles mentor. Sure now about a little pick

[42:11] Biopics are scary because they're true

[42:14] No, it's about like a weird sort of

[42:18] virus like most

[42:20] Movies are most horror movies are these days. It seems like but like more of a kind of this strange fungus that creates

[42:27] Splinters on people that can shoot out and sort of infect them and they come all pointy and weird

[42:34] Porcupine they should have called it the pointy people pretty gross and

[42:38] Have you seen it sort splinter? Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty gross. It's a pretty good like

[42:43] Basically three people stuck in a enclosed space

[42:47] horror movie survival horror, they're all in a

[42:51] gas station

[42:53] maternity ward or

[42:55] and they have to fend off these people and figure out how to get out of there, but

[43:00] What I'm going to also recommend is on Netflix watch instantly. I noticed that the movie

[43:08] I'll believe you

[43:10] Aka first time caller is available on watch instantly and this is a film

[43:17] that

[43:18] along with

[43:20] Roles by Patrick warburton Fred Willard at Helms and Chris Elliott. It also has some former flop house co-hosts in it

[43:29] This is like a most glittering stars. Yeah, this is a small independent comedy

[43:33] It sat on the shelf for a few years then it got a very small like release and now it's on DVD

[43:39] But one Rich Duncan

[43:42] the co-writer of the werewolf book and

[43:46] often a frequent co-host plays Craig the engineer and

[43:51] Amanda Melson and Bob Powers both play radio callers. Oh, wow. It's not a great comedy

[43:57] You know

[43:57] it has the problem that a lot of like small comedies have which

[44:00] It kind of drags a little like they don't have I mean

[44:04] I mean, I feel like you can make a great movie obviously as an independent filmmaker

[44:07] but nope

[44:09] keeping up the energy sometimes on like a low-budget film is

[44:14] Harder without like the resources really like make it snap and so there's like some draggy parts in the middle

[44:21] But there's some really funny stuff in it, too

[44:23] And if you're ever curious to see what Rich Duncan looked like

[44:27] With more hair than he has now you can watch first time caller. I gotta see that. Okay, I'll believe you

[44:33] I gotta check that out. I like those people. Yeah, I don't actually have a good horror movie

[44:38] You were the one who wanted the scary movies. Well, I know I do I'll talk about a scary movie. I

[44:44] Yeah, this time of year always makes me go even more out of my way to watch shitty horror movies and this week was no different

[44:51] I read I rewatched Edward Furlong's masterpiece

[44:55] Because he's in its brain scan where he plays a dude with

[45:01] Who gets sucked into a video game that turns him into a killer?

[45:04] And it's very clearly an attempt to create a new franchise

[45:08] With this like like weird dude character who like kind of haunts him and helps possess him and stuff

[45:15] Similar to Wes Craven's shocker, which was not what I was expecting

[45:19] I like the lawnmower man similar to the lawnmower man

[45:22] But not based on or D Snyder's strange land or like D Snyder strange

[45:26] I like to think that Eddie Furlong's ancestors were Vikings and they killed some sort of a haired serpent and

[45:33] So he was like Bjorn killer of the long fur and that over time became furlong sure

[45:40] Could just be the measure of

[45:43] Elaborate fantasy as to the derivation of Eddie Furlong. I have less and I saw teaching a lot when I was a kid

[45:49] Yeah, I read that story on your that that blog you write about Eddie Furlong. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah furlongs and furlongs

[45:56] Yeah, where you have you have some slash Vic about the various characters. He's been yeah

[46:00] Well, there's a little bit about him and the guy who was on salute your shorts

[46:03] Who was also in Terminator 2 a little blood him Arnold Schwarzenegger a little about him on Robert Patrick

[46:08] You're kind of teaching him what it's like to be human. Exactly. Yeah

[46:12] I have no emotions. Well, let me try. Let's try this then. Yeah, there's a lot of subtext in those movies

[46:17] You can really oh, yeah, I've been to that thumbs up at the end. I know there's a lot of pecker fanfiction on there

[46:24] What happened to the character after the film was over, you know, sure a lot of

[46:29] Baltimore's all like body

[46:31] Crow for was it I don't remember which one for a lot of Eddie Furlong John Waters slash cemetery, too

[46:38] Yes, yeah, one of my favorite favorite movies of all

[46:44] So what and what else besides brain scan

[46:47] Yeah, I can't I can't think anything else. So I've saw brain scan this week. I saw I watched a bunch of shit

[46:53] I watched you know, I watched head of the family again. That was great. Do you own that? No, I don't

[46:58] Not yet

[47:00] Not until they come out with a blu-ray edition. All right guys

[47:03] Now you're just chatting. Not every movie gets a blu-ray edition. Apparently only screwballs gets one. Yep

[47:09] Okay, so what now? What do we do Dan now? We sign off. Oh cool. Why don't you do it Stewart?

[47:14] Why don't you kick us off since you're our okay guys. Well hose

[47:18] For the flop house. I've been

[47:25] Smelly down

[47:33] Okay. Okay. That's not that good. But that's cool. Helly it kill him. Oh, he's been doing this whole time
