The Flop House: Episode #44 - Knowing

[0:00] In this episode, we continue to chronicle the mysterious twists in Nicolas Cage's acting career.

[0:05] We discuss knowing.

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

[0:37] I'm Stuart Wellington.

[0:38] I'm Elliot Kalin, don't you know.

[0:40] So, we're all back together.

[0:43] Yeah, the team.

[0:45] The first time in over a month.

[0:47] That's crazy.

[0:48] I know, I missed you guys. I missed the warmth of your personality.

[0:51] And then I missed you.

[0:53] What did you miss most about me, Stuart?

[0:54] I missed the way you look at me after.

[0:56] Okay, I'll take it.

[1:00] Elliot, how are you doing?

[1:00] A-okay, buddy.

[1:02] Didn't you guys just get back from Fire Island?

[1:04] Well, not the gay part of Fire Island.

[1:05] Yeah, well, with your significant others.

[1:07] Which is not to say that I'm not...

[1:08] That was over a week ago.

[1:09] I haven't seen you.

[1:11] I'm not disparaging the homosexual lifestyle.

[1:13] I just want to make it clear that Elliot and I aren't gay lovers.

[1:16] Wait, we're not?

[1:16] So that didn't mean anything to you?

[1:19] Well, it meant something.

[1:21] It meant something on the side.

[1:23] I don't want you to think that I'm committing to you and me for the rest of our lives.

[1:27] That's exactly what I thought.

[1:28] Are you guys just experiencing college homosexuality where you try something new while you're in college?

[1:34] Mm-hmm.

[1:34] Yep.

[1:34] Staff one more year.

[1:35] We're bugs.

[1:36] Bisexual until graduation.

[1:38] So the movie we watched today.

[1:40] You're telling me you never heard that phrase?

[1:42] We went to the same college.

[1:44] The same college filled with experimenting ladies.

[1:48] You guys had vastly different experiences in college.

[1:51] There were experimenting ladies at our college?

[1:53] Well, if I hadn't spent so much time studying for my religious studies degree.

[1:58] I maybe would have noticed it and disapproved.

[2:02] All right.

[2:03] Well, now that we've possibly offended our audience.

[2:06] I doubt it.

[2:06] We want to say that.

[2:09] Well, we've lost that GLAAD award for podcast of the year.

[2:12] Look, we are.

[2:12] Jokes aside.

[2:15] Most boners created by a podcast.

[2:17] Let's just say that we are the podcast that watches a bad movie and then talks about it.

[2:22] Yeah.

[2:22] That's our M.O.

[2:24] M.O.

[2:25] tonight's movie is one that we've been saving up until all three of us can be together you've been

[2:30] saving up yeah well ellie you didn't want you didn't want us to watch without you no i wanted

[2:35] to see it yeah we watched knowing wait would we watch knowing wait nicholas cage is in it right

[2:43] yes okay flop house favorite nicholas cage sure along with a cast of almost literally handfuls

[2:51] yeah how many what other nicholas cage movies did we watch on this thing bangkok dangerous uh-huh

[2:55] and that was fucking shitty that was bad this was bad too and next and next which i wasn't writer

[3:01] oh i watched that on my own i think we all watched that under our own auspices i still haven't seen it

[3:08] really yeah was he wait was he in premonition or no that was sandra bullock's in every single

[3:14] future movies.

[3:15] You're conflating Premonition and Next, I think.

[3:18] Oh, good.

[3:19] This is Nicholas Cage's

[3:21] second

[3:24] seeing the future movie.

[3:26] Peggy Sue got married? Do you count that?

[3:28] No.

[3:29] What about Once Bitten?

[3:31] No, he turns into a vampire.

[3:33] And that's not even his Once Bitten.

[3:36] Is this, what,

[3:38] Kiss of the Vampire? Vampire's Kiss.

[3:40] Vampire's Kiss. Once Bitten is a

[3:42] Jim Carrey movie.

[3:43] Wait, Earthgirls are easy?

[3:45] No, and Nicholas Cage also.

[3:47] Oh, Valley Girls.

[3:48] For a second, I thought you were thinking of the George Hamilton vampire film.

[3:52] What's that one?

[3:53] Dracula the Gay Blade?

[3:54] Yeah, that's it.

[3:55] No, that's not it.

[3:56] Wait, he played a gay Dracula?

[3:58] No.

[4:00] Gay-acula, they called it.

[4:02] That's a lazy joke.

[4:04] Drag-o-gay.

[4:05] That was during the gay-sploitation trend of the 70s.

[4:09] Was Sean Hayes in it?

[4:12] Hey, I can make a good joke.

[4:13] So, we watched the movie...

[4:15] Nosfergetu.

[4:16] Yep, thanks.

[4:18] A little late, but that's cool.

[4:19] So, we watched the movie Knowing, right, guys?

[4:21] Yes, we watched the movie Knowing.

[4:23] What the fuck was this movie about again?

[4:24] Let me tell you what this movie...

[4:25] I have no fucking clue.

[4:26] Well, let me tell you what this movie was about.

[4:28] Nicolas Cage is a scientist-slash-professor at MIT, or MIT, as it's also known to people.

[4:33] His son gets...

[4:35] Caleb.

[4:36] His son, Caleb, who is...

[4:37] Who's, like, deaf or something.

[4:38] But he's a little hard of hearing and also a nerd, weirdo kid.

[4:42] Although I'd like to point out that in the scenes where he's not wearing his hearing aid, he appears to be hearing just fine.

[4:48] He seems to wear the hearing aid as an affectation.

[4:50] And Nicolas Cage is a single father, widower.

[4:52] His son –

[4:53] Just trying to make it in the world.

[4:54] Yeah, exactly.

[4:55] His son acquires from a time capsule buried at his school 50 years ago a piece of paper with lots of random numbers written on it, written by a creepy girl in the 1950s.

[5:08] It soon turns out, however, Nicolas Cage discovers by applying his eyes and bourbon.

[5:14] By applying whiskey to paper.

[5:18] That these numbers match up to disasters or catastrophes or terrorist acts, things where lots of people died, where they say the date and the body count.

[5:30] Not lots, because let's point out that the lowest body count that we see in the movie is one of the disasters is 33 people dead.

[5:39] So apparently if 33 people or more die in one shot.

[5:43] That's still a lot of people.

[5:44] That's still a good number of people.

[5:45] Yeah, but since 1959 when this was written, this piece of paper would be much larger if every incident were 33 people died in one shot.

[5:54] You're right.

[5:54] Okay, so he finds out.

[5:57] I mean it's 32 too many if you ask me.

[6:00] One would be okay is what you're saying.

[6:02] One would be thumbs up.

[6:02] Okay.

[6:03] He finds out that it's also predicting other disasters.

[6:06] He finds out that the numbers match up to the longitude and latitude he just happens to be on one day.

[6:12] And a plane crashes.

[6:14] And people are stumbling out of the plane on fire.

[6:16] And he can't save any of them because he's incompetent.

[6:19] And he can't dispel CGI flames.

[6:21] Yes, exactly.

[6:22] To make a long story short, because the movie was way too long.

[6:26] Super long.

[6:26] He meets up with the daughter of the woman who wrote these numbers many years ago.

[6:31] Played by Rose Byrne of 28 Weeks Later, and the hit show Damages.

[6:36] Yeah, she looks like, I think you put it really well, Elliot, when you said she seemed like an achievable Salma Hayek.

[6:43] Was I the one who said that?

[6:45] Or I said it.

[6:46] One of us said something like that.

[6:48] Like if you were at a bar and you were hitting on Salma Hayek, and she turned you down, you'd be like, okay, Rose Byrne will do.

[6:53] I don't know.

[6:54] You'd be at like a cabana bar.

[6:56] You're at Cabo Wabo

[6:58] Yeah you'd be at a swim up bar

[6:59] My wife saw her on the subway once

[7:02] So she seems attainable

[7:04] Yeah for reals

[7:05] No Rose Byrne

[7:06] I saw Hope Davis on the subway once

[7:08] That's weird

[7:09] Ouch take that Hope Davis

[7:12] Why don't you check her out

[7:15] Well like on the internet

[7:16] So why don't you date Hope Davis

[7:20] Just type H-O-P-E-D-A-V-I-S

[7:22] Into your phone and it'll call her

[7:24] Or can I just shout at my phone

[7:26] until it calls her phone hope davis hope davis yeah activate yeah there's like an app i got some

[7:33] kind of an app there's got to be an app for that you can say the name and it calls it anyway i

[7:37] don't know if my girlfriend would like that he meets up with rose burn who also has is also a

[7:42] single parent with a daughter who and it turns out the daughter that's convenient because it's like

[7:46] puzzle pieces the daughter and the son have all step by step yeah it's just like step by step

[7:52] Except without the wacky older cousin who lives in a van.

[7:55] Or the Brady Bunch, which is more appropriate.

[7:56] Except less of them.

[7:58] Yeah, a little more well-known.

[8:00] Well, step-by-step is basically the Brady Bunch.

[8:01] Anyway, I'm glad we made that point.

[8:04] Thanks, dude.

[8:04] It turns out the son and the daughter have both been hearing whispers from mysterious beings.

[8:09] And disasters happen, disasters happen.

[8:13] Turns out there's going to be a big solar flare that wipes out all life on Earth.

[8:16] Mysterious beings turn out to be alien angels.

[8:20] take the son and the daughter up into the stars

[8:22] and the earth is destroyed in a

[8:24] fireball. The end.

[8:26] Oh, and we see the son and daughter on an idyllic

[8:28] planet where there is also a tree

[8:30] representing the Garden of Eden

[8:32] and Tree of Knowledge. Not the ending

[8:34] that one would expect at the beginning

[8:36] of the movie based on the

[8:38] beginning of the movie. Yeah. Wait, really?

[8:40] I thought that was like a... I thought it was

[8:42] representing that Tree of Knowledge

[8:44] that Odin hung from.

[8:45] Yeah, when he gave

[8:48] up his eye tree of the world that could be it too either way it's representing knowledge

[8:52] possibly gained in a way that causes more pain than it's worth sure or aliens or aliens but it

[9:01] does feel like at a certain point the movie makes a hard left turn into a different movie so wait

[9:06] why are the aliens uh why are the aliens telling people this shit well the real question is why

[9:11] aren't they telling more people this shit since they seem to be communicating over 50 year intervals

[9:16] with two children at a time

[9:18] through whispers and numbers.

[9:20] But why are they telling them

[9:21] these numbers? Does it matter?

[9:24] Shouldn't they just be telling the kids

[9:27] hey, at some point

[9:28] we're going to show up and you should come with us.

[9:30] I think they're kind of whispering that to them.

[9:32] But it takes a while for the kids to understand

[9:35] the message.

[9:35] The real question is why don't the aliens

[9:38] come down to Earth and say, listen people,

[9:40] your world's going to be destroyed. We're going to take your kids

[9:42] so they can live on.

[9:44] Just two of them. We're going to take two of your kids.

[9:46] two and will repopulate the earth one of whom is the the child of someone we give these numbers to

[9:50] grandchild the other of whom uh coincidentally received these numbers through a time capsule

[9:56] isn't that isn't that a fucking kick in the head yeah it is weird right yeah but nicholas cage

[10:01] mumbles his way through the film uh so does everybody else the whole movie is kind of a

[10:06] brown you had the volume turned up super high right i had to keep i don't know whether this

[10:11] is just the fact that i do not have a 5.1 surround sound system in my home boo uh or the fact that

[10:17] this movie we're professionals dan yeah come on i'm sorry you need gold cable too are you using

[10:22] gold cable no but i think the best kind even so i have 60 180 for cable even so this movie was

[10:29] mixed really weird because i would have to constantly whenever there was a special effects

[10:35] sequence turn the sound way down to keep um us from waking the various children who live in this

[10:43] brownstone in other apartments and then whenever someone talked i would have to turn the sound way

[10:48] up because everyone in this movie is whispering yeah or mumbling okay if they're nicholas cage

[10:54] they're whispering affectlessly like they have no emotion at all they didn't seem to care that much

[11:01] well his wife died you know so i don't know if you realize this too but once your wife dies

[11:05] you lose the capacity to feel emotion yeah or at least express emotion in your voice

[11:10] when my wife died okay i can't pull it off that never happened when my wife died

[11:15] so guys let's get down to brass tacks glug glug glug glug because he drank so much you know

[11:21] the the audience is out there you know they're listening to us they're like okay guys let's get

[11:25] to the meat of this podcast how were the disasters and i gotta say pretty good yeah they looked a lot

[11:31] like computers made them but still that was pretty cool even i have to say i was one over the first

[11:36] disaster with the plane crashing to computery didn't like it i liked it the second disaster

[11:42] were a subway car for no reason in toronto in toronto supposed to be new york but it looks

[11:48] like some sort of gray canadian 1984 type world uh the train for some reason jumps its tracks and

[11:55] just slides face first through into smashes into the platform and is just crushing people along

[12:01] the way and it looked really computery but it's still pretty neat yeah it was like that scene in

[12:05] die hard with a vengeance when the same thing happens it was like the end of silver streak

[12:10] except instead of nobody dying hundreds of people die yeah it was pretty cool to watch people bounce

[12:15] off the front of that subway car.

[12:16] Except, like Silver Streak, they use a real train

[12:19] and it bursts through a wall and it looks great.

[12:20] This, they use a computer train and it looks stupid.

[12:23] Well, I think you're shortchanging the first disaster, Elliot, though.

[12:27] Because what happens in the first disaster,

[12:28] he realizes that these numbers he's found

[12:32] don't refer just to time,

[12:34] but they refer to latitude and longitude

[12:36] because he has his GPS and his car.

[12:38] And I'm shocked it took him that long to fucking figure that shit out.

[12:41] I assumed it was going to do something like that.

[12:44] This is a guy who, he goes to visit an old lady teacher, the old lady teacher who had the crazy student, Lucinda.

[12:49] And she says, oh, we found her scratching something into the, scratching numbers into the inside of a cabinet door until her fingers were bleeding.

[12:57] And Nicolas Cage is like, oh, okay, interesting.

[13:00] And then like an hour later when the movie is almost over, he's like, oh, that door.

[13:04] I better go see what it said.

[13:06] Like, okay.

[13:07] The 50-year-old door that never got replaced.

[13:10] It got painted over, but it never got replaced.

[13:12] MIT professor is a little slow is what you're saying.

[13:14] For an MIT professor, also, as you were pointing out, the one time we see him teaching a class, he's got all these equations up on the board, but he's asking his students, like, tell me about the sun.

[13:24] How big is it?

[13:25] The sun's really hot.

[13:27] How far away from the earth is it?

[13:29] What's this thing made out of, magic?

[13:30] He's a bad science professor in the same way that Mark Wahlberg is in The Happening, where in The Happening, Mark Wahlberg is like, the bees are disappearing.

[13:39] What do you have to say about that class?

[13:40] And the student goes, we'll never know.

[13:42] And he goes, you're right.

[13:43] some things are just mysteries and uh in this one nicholas tells us nicholas cage is like

[13:49] science tells us that we have no free will and everything is determined from the beginning of

[13:53] the universe to the end it's god's plan he doesn't say it's god's plan but it's implied that it is

[13:58] for some reason in hollywood they think scientists are priests well yeah but i mean get back to the

[14:04] the disaster though like nicholas cage just happens to be at the longitude and latitude

[14:08] that this disaster is going to occur.

[14:11] Predetermined, Dan.

[14:11] Yeah, predetermined by the angel aliens, I guess.

[14:14] Speaking through a girl in 1959.

[14:17] But then the plane crashes on the highway,

[14:21] and he goes to try and help people,

[14:23] and there's an amazing number of people

[14:26] who are still alive from the crash,

[14:28] like passengers who are still alive.

[14:30] Not just still alive, arms and legs working perfectly.

[14:32] Running around.

[14:33] Apparently the biggest danger if you are in a plane crash

[14:36] is not that you die in the crash,

[14:38] But that you will catch fire from jet fuel once you crash.

[14:41] And then you'll run around in flame on the ground.

[14:44] Yeah, exactly.

[14:45] The impact is not the problem.

[14:46] It's staying away from the flame afterwards.

[14:48] Yeah, and Nicolas Cage is unable to help you by, you know, stop, drop, and roll.

[14:52] Like throwing a blanket over you.

[14:54] I guess all those people just jumped in the air at the exact moment that it hit the ground.

[14:57] Yeah.

[14:57] That works.

[14:59] It totally doesn't work.

[15:02] So I shouldn't pay attention to the flight attendant that tells me to do that?

[15:05] She really shouldn't tell you to do that.

[15:07] In the event of a sudden drop in cabin pressure, jump in the air right before it lands.

[15:12] Like if you jump too early, you're going to get smushed.

[15:14] But if you jump at just the right time, you'll be fine, yeah.

[15:17] That's awesome.

[15:18] That's not how it works.

[15:19] It's great that you feel like you need to put that disclaimer in there.

[15:23] I don't want anyone to die.

[15:24] In case someone's listening to this on a plane that crashes, then they're going to sue us later on.

[15:29] In the split second between when they jump and when they die, and there's just that moment of disappointment and like, the Flophouse lied to me.

[15:37] I don't want anyone to go to heaven or hell

[15:39] with that as their last thought, that we lied to them.

[15:41] I don't believe in those things, Elliot.

[15:43] Okay, go to Oblivion.

[15:45] Sure.

[15:45] Pass into that.

[15:47] Cross over it.

[15:48] Sorry, when they re-enter the karma cycle.

[15:51] Sure.

[15:52] When they cross the Bridge of Swords.

[15:53] Cross the River Styx.

[15:56] Sure.

[15:56] When Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, comes to take them away.

[16:01] When Cthulhu comes out.

[16:03] Same mythos, same mythos.

[16:04] You've got to say a different thing.

[16:06] You've got to change it.

[16:07] When you cross the Rainbow Bridge to Valhalla.

[16:09] Well, to Asgard, and then they take you to Valhalla.

[16:11] When the Care Bears come to take you to the...

[16:15] When Charon rows them across the River Styx.

[16:17] He already said that.

[16:18] Oh, he did?

[16:19] No, I missed it.

[16:20] Dork.

[16:20] So, now that we're done...

[16:22] We're talking about awesome mythologies, and this movie puts traditional mythology, kind of turns it on its ear, right?

[16:29] Yeah, according to them, Ezekiel foretold aliens with smooth stones.

[16:35] Yep, and aliens are angels.

[16:38] And aliens are angels.

[16:38] Who the fuck can thunk it?

[16:39] I wouldn't.

[16:41] But are there other disasters before the fire wave that engulfs the Earth?

[16:46] Oh, there's the truck that hits the car.

[16:49] Yeah, but that's not a disaster.

[16:51] No.

[16:51] I mean, that was pretty cool.

[16:53] Spoiler alert.

[16:55] Anyway.

[16:55] You just mentioned the end of the movie, all the characters dying anyway.

[17:01] I mean, it wouldn't matter.

[17:02] Yeah, let's not leap to the end just yet because the end needs a lot of attention.

[17:05] First, we want to talk about, Dan.

[17:07] Yeah, what else is there to talk about?

[17:08] I want to talk about how the –

[17:09] The smooth stones?

[17:10] The fact that these numbers fall into the hand of an MIT professor who –

[17:14] Predetermined.

[17:15] Cares enough about –

[17:17] I'm with Elliot on this one.

[17:18] Predestination.

[17:19] Any movie –

[17:20] Why don't we talk about the weird dudes in Trench Coast that follow the kids around?

[17:24] Those are the angel aliens.

[17:25] It's just –

[17:25] And they're human guises.

[17:26] Really?

[17:27] Yes.

[17:27] That one guy opened his mouth and just light came out.

[17:31] What's going on there?

[17:32] So he's an angel with alien powers or an alien with angel powers.

[17:34] Wait, angel powers involve shooting out light beams from your mouth?

[17:38] Maybe he's like the, what's it called?

[17:41] No, the voice of God.

[17:43] What's it called?

[17:44] Metronomogrammaton or something like that.

[17:46] The Tetragrammaton?

[17:46] Not the Tetragrammaton.

[17:48] That's the name of God.

[17:49] Okay.

[17:50] I feel like we need to jump back to the numbers, though, just to set the stage for listeners who may not have watched Knowing a little bit more.

[17:58] Okay, explain it to us, Dan.

[17:58] Like the fact that...

[17:59] There's a sheet full of numbers.

[18:00] Yeah.

[18:01] Yeah, well, duh.

[18:02] This kid in 1959 writes his numbers.

[18:05] Obviously, they could put in this time capsule.

[18:08] Obviously, they take – well, the kids are all drawing pictures of what they think the future will be like to put in this time capsule to be opened in the year 2009, which not to be nitpicky, but 100 years is the standard for time capsules for the most part.

[18:21] Yeah, 50 years, who gives a shit?

[18:22] Yeah, come on.

[18:23] The teacher who buried the time capsule is there when they unearthed the time capsule.

[18:27] Not exciting.

[18:29] It's one of those things where, like, why bother to open up a time capsule when the people who did it are still alive and can tell you what was going on at that time?

[18:37] It's not like it's the tomb of the pharaohs or something.

[18:39] Exactly, yeah.

[18:40] All these drawings get handed down to children of the modern age, and Nicolas Cage's son gets the sheet full of numbers.

[18:52] Shafted.

[18:54] I love the kid goes up to him and goes, we all got pictures, you just got numbers, and then runs away.

[19:01] I like to think that he found a reason to make fun of everyone's time capsule gift.

[19:06] He's like that kid on King of the Hill.

[19:08] Yeah, he's just running around making fun of everybody.

[19:10] But the reason why the numbers come to Nicolas Cage's attention is they get brought home,

[19:15] and Nicolas Cage overfills his tumbler full of whiskey.

[19:19] He drinks a lot of whiskey.

[19:20] Yeah, apparently ever since his wife died, he drowns his sorrows by drinking.

[19:24] He was watching a really exciting program about tigers, I think.

[19:27] Yeah, that's true.

[19:28] Earlier we see his son watching a show about tigers, and then he goes back to watch it on TiVo.

[19:32] It's just this weird little continuity thing of, like, listen, we can't have him watch a show we haven't introduced already in the film.

[19:39] We'll just have him watch the tiger show.

[19:41] Right, because if he started watching, like, Two and a Half Men, people would be like, what a dork.

[19:46] People would be like, where did he get this other TV show?

[19:48] But he's watching that and he's like, oh, he's so engrossed by the tigers that he doesn't realize that he pours a full tumbler full of bourbon.

[19:55] And it's not like the tumbler is sitting on the table and he's not looking at it.

[19:59] It's in his hand.

[20:00] He's just sitting there pouring something into a glass in his hand.

[20:03] So what you're saying is not only would he have the sensory mechanism of his hand pouring, but also the hand would sense that the glass is getting fuller and fuller of shit.

[20:12] The weight of the glass.

[20:14] Right.

[20:15] If not the sound of the glass filling up right under his face.

[20:19] So to clean up the glass that obviously has a spillover, he sets it down on the page full of numbers and he picks it up.

[20:28] On an otherwise empty counter.

[20:29] Yeah.

[20:30] There's a ring.

[20:31] He picks the one spot that there's a paper on.

[20:33] There's now a bourbon ring about some of the numbers and Nicolas Cage is like, huh, now that some of these numbers have a circle around them, I'm paying more attention to these particular numbers.

[20:43] And he just starts writing them out on his whiteboard.

[20:45] Yeah, he writes them out on his whiteboard, and he starts dividing them up randomly.

[20:48] And, like, it's the most obvious.

[20:49] It's like, spoiler, it's the date of 9-11.

[20:52] The numbers are 9-1-1-0-1, and then, what, 2-9, or 2-9, whatever the number of the casualties were on September 11th.

[21:00] And so the first two times he divides it up, he does not divide it up in the way that would be a 9-11-2001.

[21:07] Like, 91-1-0-1-2, oh, well, let me try it again.

[21:12] So one has to wonder, like, why did he care enough to put them on his whiteboard

[21:15] if he didn't immediately see the link to September 11?

[21:20] He's drunk.

[21:20] And the best part is he then went to fucking—

[21:22] People do crazy things with numbers when they're drunk.

[21:24] He went over to Google and he's like, 9-11-01, what happened?

[21:29] What's on the fucking microfiche?

[21:31] He types in that number as if—and then he goes to a page that says, never forget.

[21:36] This is set in the year 2009.

[21:38] It's not set in the far-off future of like 3111 when people might have forgotten about September 11th by that point.

[21:44] It's like Pearl Harbor to them.

[21:44] Yeah, it's something that happened within 10 years that everyone remembers.

[21:49] Yeah, but that sets him off on his number quest.

[21:52] That would have been a better name for this movie, number quest.

[21:54] Much like Jim Carrey in the number 23.

[21:57] Possibly the cover of the poster would be like him holding out the –

[22:01] Or the stars of numbers.

[22:02] Well, like him holding out a piece of paper and like light shooting him in the face.

[22:06] Yeah, but in the fort, like, casting numbers on his face.

[22:10] Like the movie poster for that movie, Dreamscape?

[22:13] Yeah, well, it would be a painted poster like the Star Wars, the Indiana Jones posters.

[22:17] Oh, yeah, by Drew Sturzan?

[22:18] Is that who painted them?

[22:20] Yeah.

[22:20] I should know that, but I don't.

[22:22] And then pictures of his kid, Rose Byrne, Rose Byrne's kid, a couple of side characters that appear, maybe the old teacher.

[22:29] Sure.

[22:29] And his friend who tries to set him up with his sister-in-law.

[22:32] Maybe one of the little vignettes from the film.

[22:34] Oh, yeah, of course.

[22:34] A little bit like him driving with his huge fists on the steering wheel.

[22:38] A plane crashing?

[22:40] A plane crashing, the train flying through the air, anchored by that one image of –

[22:45] A tiger?

[22:46] A tiger.

[22:47] And maybe like a really small one of the alien angels, small enough that you'd only notice it if you've seen the movie already and you recognize the shape.

[22:55] Yeah, absolutely.

[22:56] Maybe a little pile of little black stones.

[22:59] Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good.

[23:00] At the bottom.

[23:00] Or like piled around the logo.

[23:03] Sure, that makes sense.

[23:04] quest and it's like this summer an adventure you'll never forget you like an incalculable

[23:10] adventure yeah that sounds good number quest what's what's the deal with those little black

[23:14] steven spielberg invites you magic or something right there yeah they're these they're these

[23:18] smooth black stones that are left everywhere by the angel aliens stones like wishing stones yeah

[23:23] skipping stones would be flatter stewart they were just smooth they look like as you mentioned

[23:28] dan i think they look like someone bought a rock tumbler and get some stones in but for whatever

[23:32] reason that becomes the symbol of the alien angels i don't know what it stands for i don't get it but

[23:37] then i wasn't paying that much attention most of the time i think that that's fair that you don't

[23:41] get it because now that we've sort of set things up a little bit more i think we can skip to the

[23:46] end because the movie takes a drastic shift yeah into the crazy like the movie is not great but it

[23:53] sort of makes like a certain amount of sense in a sci-fi thriller way like no i mean like once you

[23:59] accept the idea like in a crappy sci-fi thriller way no ellie like if they had a good explanation

[24:05] like once you accept the fact like okay yeah no if these numbers uh are predicting the disasters

[24:11] why is this happening and the whole second half of the movie would have to explain that yeah in

[24:16] this case the whole second half of the movie punts that question see if it was number quest i see

[24:21] like a secret society of psychics that through history have been trying to warn humanity of

[24:26] disasters but as it is yeah it the second half of the movie says like remember those numbers

[24:31] we're thinking about different numbers now and by the way aliens are involved

[24:35] and the aliens are there mainly to take these kids to the garden of eden yeah oh and also there's

[24:41] going to be a solar flare that destroys the earth that they bring up very late yeah at the end like

[24:45] none of this is is is set up or foreshadowed really well no yeah nothing makes any sense at

[24:50] all like there are these numbers okay they're a bunch of black stones okay they're these aliens

[24:55] what do they all have to do with each other i don't know whatever it's just a movie we made

[24:59] that's your alex proyas impression you know we just made this thing enjoy it uh it's up to you

[25:06] guys it's up to you the viewer it is not my job to explain but to create finds the explanation

[25:13] uh toronto i don't remember what montreal proyas yeah i assume he from was from south america but

[25:20] but that's a french accent hey listen i don't know who taught maybe he had a french tutor

[25:25] okay that makes sense i just know that's how he talks

[25:27] at the end you wouldn't pronounce the s though

[25:33] that's right you see a cage for your role i imagine no emotion nothing and nicholas cage

[25:41] like really you don't want me to show any emotional no you know and so forth at the

[25:46] end of the page full of numbers there's a what looks like a three three and then rose burns like

[25:52] oh no no she used to reverse things when she got really excited or something like that she just

[25:57] liked to yeah she liked to do it on occasions like oh no it's an ee and what does that ee stand for

[26:02] it stands for everyone else and where how do they find out is that when they strip the no it's when

[26:09] And they lift up a bed at this crazy lady's.

[26:13] A lift of a Murphy bed.

[26:13] A lift of a Murphy bed at the crazy lady's old house.

[26:15] And she's carved in everyone else over and over again.

[26:19] Yeah.

[26:19] So at a certain date, everyone else is going to die.

[26:23] I would think that with that information, like, all the knowledge that, like, all of humanity is going to die at this date.

[26:28] Why would you flip out so much?

[26:29] Like, at that point, like, she was going to be pretty old anyway.

[26:32] Like, if you know everyone's going to die, like, why not chill out and enjoy yourself?

[26:36] don't tell anyone so everyone just enjoys

[26:38] himself and then everyone dies because it's a fucking

[26:40] solar flare it's not like some dude shows up

[26:42] and kills everyone it's not something you can

[26:44] really do anything about unless she's like I'm gonna

[26:46] invent fucking magical spaceships for us all

[26:48] to leave on yeah that's one of the funny things

[26:50] is like why flip out about it once Nicholas

[26:52] Cage realizes that everyone else is gonna

[26:54] die he runs to his like

[26:56] office at MIT and he's like

[26:58] oh shit that solar flare thing I was working

[27:00] on I miscalculated it

[27:02] turns out there's gonna be a solar flare

[27:04] that kills everyone

[27:06] that psychic number thing pushed me in the right direction to real recalculate my own studies that

[27:13] i've already done and now i'm gonna say oh that solar flare is gonna come by and kill and let's

[27:18] get the best deep core drillers in the world to go launch a rocket into the sun into the sun and

[27:23] knock it off course yeah that sounds awesome or else or else or else we'll have a deep impact to

[27:28] deal with yeah right right and it's good and or you can drill into the center of the earth and

[27:35] keep the magnetic core spinning if we can only get stanley tucci and dalroy lindo on the case

[27:40] yep and dj qualls where we could build a space elevator between earth and the moon

[27:46] it hasn't happened in a movie but so it's still it's another high concept it'll be called moon

[27:52] evader moon evader it'll be called third floor ladies furnishings fourth floor the moon

[27:58] going up they build a space elevator between earth and the moon but they have an old-timey

[28:05] elevator operator sure of course hey everyone welcome to the moon lift that's the name of the

[28:11] movie or is that like the poster well this movie this movie is similar in a lot of ways to the

[28:15] trailer for 2012 earth is being destroyed by calamities and they're building spaceships to

[28:20] take people off of the earth which is also the plot of i think when worlds collide that old movie

[28:25] oh no or is it it's either when worlds collide or like the day the earth burned or something like

[28:28] that but i think it's when worlds collide wait what world collided with our world i have some

[28:33] other world another world okay but they had a spaceship and people were fighting to get on it

[28:37] that sounds good when one world collides with another world basically i think it's when worlds

[28:42] collide maybe it's a different one when any two worlds kind of like in uh like trading places

[28:46] yeah exactly when the worlds collided yeah prince and the pauper sure but the trading places trading

[28:52] spaces lady and the tramp so what you face off dan you really are upset by you you were really

[29:01] upset by the end of this movie well okay meet the apple gates at the end of this movie nicholas cage

[29:08] all of a sudden he's like holy shit i've got extra numbers and he gets those extra numbers

[29:13] by finally remembering as you say that the girl clawed some numbers into the door of a school

[29:20] 50 years ago yeah so he goes and he goes and he he strips the paint from that door with a heat gun

[29:26] yeah and he gets the coordinates or coords as i call them yeah and all of a sudden nicholas

[29:31] cage is like or knits oh we have to go to these coordinates earlier in the movie coordinates that

[29:38] are given are things that should be avoided at all costs because that's when disasters where

[29:43] the disasters are going to be somehow at the end of the movie nicholas cage makes the huge logical

[29:47] leap oh now we got to go to these coordinates and then everything will be fine and so he goes there

[29:53] and that place is uh covered in these shiny black stones that have no uh particular significance

[30:00] that we can discern in the movie and these aliens come down and they take his son first they give

[30:07] his son and they give the girl white rabbits to hold that's stupid and then they take them take

[30:13] his son and nicholas cage is gonna go nicholas cage is gonna go with them and then the son says

[30:18] wait they're telling me you can't come and i wonder if maybe such a like if he just thinks

[30:23] his dad is lame wait oh the aliens are telling me you can't come really i don't hear their voices

[30:29] yep they're whispering it to me right now i gotta go sorry sorry dude catch it catch on the flip

[30:35] side my man and so yeah these these kids are taken so you're not even wearing your hearing aid kid

[30:40] how can you hear up gotta go aliens are calling yeah you can't hear it because it's what dad i

[30:46] I can't hear you too well.

[30:47] I can't hear you over the aliens and my hearing problems.

[30:49] Yeah, but the kids are taking like this weird wheat world.

[30:53] You know, it's heaven and gladiator, basically.

[30:55] It's a Garden of Eden type place.

[30:56] Yeah.

[30:57] It is like heaven and gladiator.

[30:59] So heaven where you go if you're a gladiator.

[31:00] Yeah.

[31:00] What a boring heaven for gladiators, just wheat.

[31:03] I know, right?

[31:04] You can run your hand through all the wheat you can.

[31:07] Fields of wheat.

[31:09] Yeah, just touch a bunch of wheat.

[31:10] Wheat with feathers from love and death.

[31:12] Sure.

[31:13] You must be Don Francisco's sister.

[31:15] but anyway no you must be done yeah they're taking away it was done for just go have to

[31:19] adjust my belt would you uh come over here and hold my bosom for a minute and he looks at he

[31:24] does this is just when he look on his face when he like decides to go over anyway love and death

[31:28] we recommend rent it today i think that might be my recommendation today yeah so yeah the kids are

[31:33] taken away and nicholas cage and everyone else on earth dies in a solar flare yeah and you are

[31:39] very slow solar flare as the audience to wonder hey why do those aliens send that information

[31:45] down why did it only get received by these two kids why do they take just these two kids this

[31:51] other world what the fuck is the deal with all these black stones who thought this was a good

[31:56] movie to make who greenlit this why are the aliens in the business of predicting disasters in the

[32:01] first place yeah they never really explain why the aliens except if they've just cracked the code of

[32:05] the universe yeah like the predetermined code of existence well they're angels right it's implied

[32:11] but even if they're angels like what is their what is their plan here like the angels are like

[32:16] spin off from buffy and go a couple seasons thing is that humanity has just become five seasons in

[32:23] la the humanity is just uh they've sinned too much or something and only to be wiped out with

[32:29] an awesome solar flare it's they say it in vaguely at some point that like it's time for a second

[32:33] it's a new beginning or you know things need to start back from the beginning or right yeah

[32:38] taken to push the clock back so you got to bring these two um children to another planet uh where

[32:45] theoretically i guess they'll grow up and screw each other and then their children will uh

[32:49] repopulate the earth or they'll repopulate that new planet the earth might be gone yeah i mean

[32:54] you could call it earth two or orth orth or darth yeah girth uh i didn't think we were talking about

[33:03] girth today dan i thought the movie was really good it was really it was a real twist on that

[33:09] ending oh yeah m night shamalon was watching it and got really mad because you stole my twist

[33:16] yeah me m not shamalon he's italian i guess no if it was kind of french still but italian also

[33:24] if m night shamalon made the movie it would be shamalon anyway you're saying it would be totally

[33:30] clear at the end of the movie that planet that we see at the end is actually earth yeah and the one

[33:35] we saw throughout the movie before that is some earlier planet that we were not aware of they

[33:41] were like tattooing or something there'd be a big sign that said like welcome to earth at the end

[33:45] earth original population two population you i like population two population two okay that's

[33:52] funnier can we can we just do final judgments i see final judgments on the final judgments

[33:57] does anyone want to go first yeah i really didn't like this movie it was really long and boring

[34:03] uh it was shot kind of cool and the music was nuts um he was stealing from everything yeah

[34:09] it was crazy um but it was boring and way too fucking long and not exciting at all so don't

[34:15] watch it although some of the explosions were cool okay the cgi flame was really awesome i

[34:21] agree this was a bad bad movie and i didn't enjoy it uh and it was slow and boring and long i agree

[34:26] with uh stewart although yeah there were some scenes that looked pretty like they were shot

[34:30] nicely but then a lot of moose that was on fire the cgi moves that was on fire there were a couple

[34:35] good disaster scenes yeah but but then other times things were shot crazy like nick whenever

[34:41] nicholas cage was driving they'd make his hands look enormous let's let's clarify that let's

[34:47] clarify that make his hands look enormous by putting the camera right behind the steering

[34:53] no they didn't use a cgi hands were closer they didn't give him cgi giant or even like practical

[35:00] effects they didn't put like big gloves on them i just want to make sure but uh they didn't have

[35:04] like hulk gloves okay sure yeah but it was a it was a painted flesh colored and nicholas cage is

[35:10] like testing the boundaries of bad acting like how far he can go and this is pretty far he's been

[35:16] doing that for a while no that's what i'm saying yeah it's like this is his life's work is to see

[35:20] how bad acting can get yeah if this movie was a little shorter i could almost recommend it on like

[35:26] like the first half of the movie basically i feel like is kind of interesting on its own merits like

[35:32] not good but i was kind of like okay well this is well shot and i could see where the premise

[35:38] if handled well could make an interesting movie and i moved along at a good clip for the first

[35:43] half and then it just sort of stretches out for a while where nothing really happens and then at the

[35:49] end it kind of felt like the screenwriter was like okay well i'm on page 100 this shouldn't

[35:56] be more than 120 pages at most how can i explain what happened um angel aliens yeah well that's

[36:05] that gets me out of uh having to make this make sense that's the most interesting part of the

[36:11] movie for me but it's a lot of garbage before it and then it comes out of nowhere and it's like a

[36:16] coon if there was a disaster.

[36:17] Well, the fact that it comes out of nowhere almost

[36:20] makes it a good, bad movie for me, but

[36:22] it's a little too long. Yeah.

[36:24] It was like two hours long. Yeah, I

[36:26] had plenty of time to get drunk.

[37:28] Now back to the show.

[37:29] I got some letters here.

[37:36] Letters. We get letters.

[37:37] We get lots and lots of letters.

[37:40] Flophouse.

[37:42] So, alright, first of all,

[37:44] This one isn't actually a letter.

[37:46] This is what I teased last time on the show.

[37:49] You weren't here, Stuart.

[37:50] Oh, okay.

[37:51] You're off.

[37:53] Rubbing oils on myself.

[37:54] Sure.

[37:55] Scented oils.

[37:55] Creams.

[37:56] Fungents.

[37:58] You're probably wearing a tiny bathing suit also.

[37:59] Probably.

[38:00] I found through our stat counter, our website counter, a link to our site from a Norwegian message board.

[38:10] Huh?

[38:11] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[38:12] That sounds cool.

[38:12] And I don't speak Norwegian.

[38:14] no no so yet i took the paragraph that referred to the flophouse this is brilliant and i fed it

[38:21] through freetranslation.com surefire hit to get a translation this is what they're saying about us

[38:29] in norway via one person said about us in norway it's not like in cyberspace norway is not all a

[38:36] buzz with the flop across norway this is the word on the flophouse via free translation the best

[38:42] free translation service on the web and it says as dan deposits a check for translation.com

[38:49] while i see on the flop house admittedly it is a podcast but i also included the need to recommend

[38:57] it in any case in the event that it is more than me who have a dull summer where they are alone in

[39:03] several hours daily with work that requires relatively little awareness in any case the

[39:09] concept is as follows three film flinkster from brooklyn meet a time in the week and see a drit

[39:15] film which brats hundred hills chihuahua or jumper while they drink themselves full when they're

[39:23] finished they take up an hour of the fact that they held about it in lid form yes it does in

[39:28] people my job her bag a little less gray yay so there you go that sounded positive i think yeah i

[39:36] think it was i mean it could have been the inflection he used with your voice yeah you know

[39:40] when he wrote it it was like here's the film film flinksters that's that's the way i think of us

[39:47] as three film flinkster who drink drink ourselves full free translation.com okay so wow that was

[39:56] cool thanks norway yeah thanks norway thanks the country norway okay what's next you've given us

[40:01] jason and that so here's one from eddie last name withheld sure and it says flip flops that's how it

[40:10] addresses us flip flops interesting it's a new one start seasonal uh as you may have heard the third

[40:16] in the step up franchise is currently currently in production step up three the streets yeah it

[40:20] says it's step up 3d dude yeah oh is it really yeah well as as as the letter would say if you

[40:26] let me read it okay stewart sorry its title step up wait for it sure 3d heard it the first ever

[40:35] dance movie in 3d elliot i know you might be thinking of some crazy movie that tried it before

[40:41] in the 50s he predicted but that claim is wrong but if that claim is wrong the fault is not mine

[40:48] i heard director john chu make that very claim a matter of hours ago that's right i'm working on

[40:54] step up 3d wow it's like living in the movie which is to say it's terrible there are a thousand

[41:01] extras i'm glad you withheld his last name he could lose his job well this is probably like

[41:07] thousands of eddies working on this movie this is from a few weeks ago since we haven't been

[41:11] together for a while so he's probably off the movie by now but uh he says there are a thousand

[41:15] extras who are all in high school and love break dancing from the title i know what could go wrong

[41:20] from the little i know about the movie and yeah there might be some confidentiality issues but

[41:25] it's okay because i'm not giving you my last name it is about an international hip-hop dance

[41:30] competition it features light-up shoes laser gloves i'm there and wait wait did you say laser

[41:38] gloves yeah laser gloves and teams called among other things germany france america new zealand

[41:44] africa the pirates and the samurai those better be those pirates that are always hijacking ships

[41:50] off of africa it could be a good bad movie a bad bad movie who knows maybe an honest goodness good

[41:55] movie but one thing is true it has truly broken new ground and pointlessness and inexplicableness

[42:00] and being written by me in seventh grade and the grandmaster kaz is in it i do not know if i'm

[42:07] dreaming or as if this is real kaz the cartoonist yes well no he includes a photo of grandmaster kaz

[42:13] ah i'm i'm showing to so wait there's the cartoon did he say there's a team called japan and a team

[42:19] called the samurai yeah it seems to start out as all team names are countries or continents and

[42:27] then uh it turns into just types of people pirates and samurai light up shoes laser gloves

[42:34] all my favorite things about super mario brothers the movie yes is our laser gloves like gloves

[42:39] that somebody creates out of lasers i have to assume they're gloves that shoot lasers i guess

[42:44] that makes more sense it's like tron meets step up to the street that was very cool we got the

[42:48] behind the scenes report wow all right so uh now is the point where we make um some recommendations

[42:55] of movies that we've seen recently and maybe enjoyed rather than knowing which you saw

[43:02] recently so and i shouldn't recommend knowing now don't recommend knowing unless you're gonna

[43:08] change your tune unless you're gonna final judge do a 180 if i if i flip-flopped yeah and i'm not

[43:14] going to do that no not a flop flipper okay okay i'll go first i want to recommend an awesome movie

[43:20] you know in the spirit of a great summer movie and in honor of the recent release of gigio rise

[43:27] of cobra directed by director stephen summers i would like to recommend the movie deep rising

[43:33] an early stephen summers movie which features treat williams riding around on a ski do

[43:39] in a sinking cruise ship while shooting tentacles with a shotgun.

[43:44] That sounds like a real treat.

[43:46] It's an awesome movie, and the cover of the movie box

[43:51] features him riding on a Ski-Doo out of an explosion.

[43:54] So that is a surefire hit.

[43:56] A Ski-Doo is like a kind of flightless bird?

[43:58] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[43:59] Well, wait, no.

[44:00] It's like a jet ski.

[44:02] Oh, where does the do part come in?

[44:05] That's what people call them, Ski-Doos.

[44:06] It's like a do-rag.

[44:07] it's like a it's like a jet ski that you can wear on your head oh okay yeah i mean if you're doing

[44:11] a headstand it sounds pretty cool and and west studi is in it oh yeah the guy who played magua

[44:17] in last of the mohicans sure he was in geronimo not the guy who played magua in gremlins howie

[44:24] mandel yeah yeah not howie mandel man all right he's not in that movie my recommendation i don't

[44:30] know if this is like an unabashed recommendation it's more personal like i watched uh the towering

[44:35] inferno on blu-ray recently and uh that movie is literally an hour too long however there's

[44:41] something about a certain type of 1960s uh blockbuster film that appeals to me like

[44:50] 1960s in general i think it was towering for no 60s or 70s i thought it was like 71 or 72

[44:55] i could be wrong about that it feels like 60s it in the same way that like basically like the first

[45:01] couple years of every decade sort of trails yeah it's like the previous yeah you're right um but

[45:07] touche there's something about films of that time that are so fake that that like really seem fake

[45:15] in a way that even transcends like early studio pictures normally that sort of level of fakeness

[45:22] in a movie irritates me but there's something about those like uh erwin allen disaster movies

[45:28] or, like, say, an early James Bond film,

[45:33] like the space-age quality of that.

[45:34] That really appeals to me.

[45:36] And something about this very low version

[45:39] of blockbuster filmmaking that is kind of fun.

[45:42] Let's get Steve McQueen and Paul Newman together

[45:46] and Fred Astaire and put them in a disaster movie.

[45:50] Towering Inferno, especially on the new Blu-ray release,

[45:54] that's kind of fun.

[45:55] Okay, Elliot?

[45:56] I think I'm going to recommend, if I can, not just a movie, but an event centered around a movie.

[46:02] Oktoberfest?

[46:04] Oktoberfest.

[46:05] If you hear this podcast before September 9th, which is a Wednesday, I'm going to recommend that you go to, and you're in the New York area,

[46:13] I recommend you go to 92Y Tribeca, 200 Hudson Street in Manhattan, and you go see the movie I'm hosting there, Love Me Tonight, at 8 p.m.

[46:23] Why?

[46:24] September 9th, because it's good, and I'm going to talk

[46:26] about it. Wait, you're going to talk about it then,

[46:28] or you're going to talk about it now? I'm going to talk about it then.

[46:30] Okay, that's cool. I also haven't seen any movies recently

[46:32] that I really liked, so I'm going to recommend that. And also

[46:34] Love and Death, my favorite of Woody Allen's gag

[46:36] films. Yeah, I agree. My two

[46:38] favorite Woody Allen films, Love and Death

[46:40] and Crimes and Misdemeanors. That's my

[46:42] favorite funny one, and my favorite not-so-

[46:44] funny one. Hmm, interesting. Well,

[46:46] Love and Death is hilarious, especially if you

[46:48] have a grounding in 19th century Russian

[46:50] literature. Or even not. Those are

[46:52] books that I have always felt that I should

[46:54] read and have not you should they're very good i still find love and death the funniest of woody

[46:58] allen's movies so rent love and death now sleeper sleep is all right sleeper is not one of my

[47:04] favorites i find it to be pretty lackluster i was just naming i like sleeper better than bananas

[47:08] see i prefer bananas much more to sleeper bananas is genius to me where a sleeper is okay to me

[47:14] but that's the movie to rent what about take the money and run it's all right shows promise if you

[47:20] want to see a movie in the bandit not a woody allen movie it's a hal needham film if you never

[47:26] which way but you lose nope it's not also not a woody allen film other jugs and speed not woody

[47:31] allen woody allen made very few movies with car chases in them and even fewer movies with

[47:37] orangutans or ambulance you know races uh-huh race with the devil nope not race of the devil

[47:43] not a woody allen the warriors nope not a woody allen film but if you're in the new york area on

[47:48] september 9th you want to go see an old movie that's a lot of fun go see love me tonight you'll

[47:53] find out more information on the 92 white trebecca website sounds good even despite dan booing me when

[47:58] i recommended it well guys uh i don't know whether we made a lot of sense of this movie knowing that
