The Flop House Movie Minute #28 - Criterion Collection

S1

[0:00] It's the Flophouse Movie Minute!

[0:29] Okay, Criterion Collection Radiohead, take one.

[0:59] Starring legendary theater director Andre Gregory and the voice of that dinosaur from Toy Story.

[1:06] It sounds like this is more like My Dinner with Fun-Dre.

[1:09] What happens when two old friends get together for dinner and conversation?

[1:13] Perhaps a penetrating and whimsical meditation on life, the creative process, and the human condition.

[1:21] What do you think?

[1:23] You bet your ass.

[1:24] And talk about screen-burning extras.

[1:27] You'll have a squid and the whale of a dime listening to Noah Baumbach interview our two hot hunks of leading men.

[1:34] And you'll be throbbing your way through the collector's booklet, critical essay written by Amy Taubin.

[1:40] That's cool!

[1:42] Critical assessment delivered by a hot critic in a bikini.

[1:45] How can you go wrong?

[1:47] The installment does not appear in a bikini.

[1:49] Or how about the Criterion Collection?

[1:51] After the dark.

[1:53] Why not pick up Nagisa Oshima's sizzling exploration of obsessive desire in the desobsessed erotic mythology of 1930s Japan?

[2:02] Ooh la la!

[2:03] More like Criterion Co-section.

[2:06] Talk about film buff, am I right ladies?

[2:08] You know I am!

[2:10] If you want a film where someone writes Japanese kanji on themselves with a severed penis, you know the only place you're gonna get your fix is the adult section.

[2:19] And by adult videos, we mean movies for discerning grown-up fans of film art.

[2:23] The hard stuff!

[2:24] You only get from the Criterion Collection, where our commitment to the finest cinematic art is always totally exposed, full frontal, and rarely castrated.

S2

[2:35] It's bonerific!

S1

[2:36] If you want blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, red quality picture clarity combined with French new wave plot obscurity, why not pick up Last Year at Marienbad?

[2:46] It's a fever dream that will mindfuck your brain into new understanding of filming art!

[2:52] You'll be marrying bad to the bone once you're done gnawing on this puzzle.

[2:56] That's the Criterion Collection.

[2:58] Movies so classy, they'll eat your brain!

[3:06] That was great, Lou.

S2

[3:11] Now can we try one a little less classy?

[3:20] and performed and produced by sometime guest Flophouse host, Lou Fernandez.
