The Flop House: Episode #20 - Jumper
Transcript
[0:00]
In this episode of the Flophouse, we discuss Jumper, the heartwarming true tale of the inventor of the Jumper cable.
[0:31]
Hey everyone, and welcome to the Flophouse. My name is Dan McCoy.
[0:37]
My name is Stuart Wellington.
[0:39]
And I'm Matt Coff.
[0:41]
Yeah, Matt Coff is joining us as our special guest.
[0:45]
Elliot Kalin, regular co-host Elliot Kalin, was going to be here,
[0:49]
and then his cruel overlords at the Daily Show had him stay late to do something
[0:55]
probably much more important than a poorly listened to Flophouse.
[0:59]
I doubt it.
[1:00]
As much as I like to burn Elliot for being a wimp,
[1:04]
shouldn't you make it sound like we had intended Matt to be here to make him feel better?
[1:08]
Oh yeah, um, Matt.
[1:10]
Wait, what?
[1:11]
I was like, who's a totally sweet guest we can get?
[1:14]
And I thought, my friend Matt Coff.
[1:16]
Yeah, I figure that's why you only told me an hour in advance.
[1:21]
Yeah, one hour in advance into the movie.
[1:23]
Let's be totally up front here.
[1:25]
Matt was good enough to come by and sub in for Elliot
[1:29]
halfway through the movie, literally.
[1:31]
He showed up almost precisely at the halfway point.
[1:34]
Which is 40 minutes, I think, right?
[1:36]
No, 50 minutes.
[1:37]
This film was a trim, without credits, 83 minutes long.
[1:43]
Okay.
[1:44]
So he got here at 42 minutes in?
[1:47]
He actually got in here later than that.
[1:49]
Jesus.
[1:50]
So he saw less than half of the film.
[1:52]
How do you feel about that, Matt?
[1:54]
Well, from what I saw, I feel pretty good.
[1:57]
Because I imagine that movie was not good in its entire form.
[2:04]
That's with a conclusion, the denouement.
[2:08]
Yeah, I'll just say that I saw it and I was like,
[2:13]
I don't need to see the rest of this movie.
[2:15]
You're not going to go back?
[2:17]
I'm not going to jump back to the beginning.
[2:21]
Oh, snap.
[2:22]
Pardon me.
[2:23]
Because the film that we watched.
[2:24]
You can do that.
[2:25]
Was Jumper.
[2:26]
Oh, we didn't even say the name of the movie.
[2:28]
No, we totally didn't.
[2:29]
We thought we missed something.
[2:30]
It's a movie, you may recall, starring Hayden Christensen.
[2:34]
Blophouse favorite, Hayden Christensen.
[2:36]
Yeah, he was in Awake, wasn't he?
[2:37]
He was in Awake.
[2:38]
He played a guy who was awake, even though he's being surgeried on.
[2:42]
Surgeryed, I'm sure.
[2:44]
He was also really good in the Star Wars prequels.
[2:49]
I'm not familiar with those films.
[2:50]
Okay, we'll talk about them after the podcast.
[2:53]
He was also in Shattered Glass.
[2:55]
Yeah.
[2:56]
He was actually kind of good.
[2:57]
He was good in Shattered Glass,
[2:58]
but I think the reason he was good in Shattered Glass is he was playing an irritating character,
[3:03]
a character you were supposed to find painful and disturbing.
[3:07]
And here, you're supposed to be thinking that he's sort of the hero,
[3:13]
but he's still got that weird Hayden Christensen mouth,
[3:17]
that strange, weird overbite smile of his that makes you feel uncomfortable.
[3:22]
His character's pretty irritating in the movie, though.
[3:25]
Yeah, well, why don't you explain a little bit about that, Stuart?
[3:27]
Well, I mean, the movie kicks off with Hayden Christensen.
[3:31]
You know, that's not necessarily the best way to start off a movie,
[3:34]
is a shot of Hayden Christensen.
[3:35]
But he's standing on top of the head of the Sphinx,
[3:39]
which I swear somebody would have seen him like.
[3:41]
I would imagine there's people looking at the Sphinx most of the time.
[3:45]
Like Sphinx maintenance workers.
[3:47]
Maintenance workers or, I don't know, maybe a tourist?
[3:50]
Yeah.
[3:51]
And they would have seen some jack-off walking around on top, on the head of the Sphinx.
[3:56]
And he's like, hey, today I hung out on the Sphinx
[3:59]
and watched a basketball game from the front row and did a bunch of other really cool shit.
[4:05]
Yeah.
[4:06]
And he's like.
[4:07]
Don't you wish you were me?
[4:08]
Yeah, basically.
[4:09]
Sons of bitches out there in the audience.
[4:10]
But you know, once, it wasn't always like this.
[4:13]
It was a chump like you.
[4:14]
It's like, wait a minute.
[4:15]
I'm a chump because I don't have magic powers.
[4:18]
Does the movie really start like that?
[4:21]
It's like a person come up and introduce themselves to you.
[4:25]
I remember when I was a loser, like you are.
[4:28]
Why don't I tell you my story for two hours?
[4:31]
Then I realize I was from the planet Krypton and your son makes me a Superman.
[4:37]
Let me tell you about it.
[4:39]
Yeah.
[4:40]
Well, the thing is, they do try and humanize him a little bit towards the beginning of the movie.
[4:45]
His mom has left.
[4:47]
His dad is Henry Portman of the serial killer.
[4:52]
You know, he doesn't seem to have a very good life.
[4:55]
And his mom's gone, right?
[4:57]
It's almost as if there's no trace of her.
[4:59]
Yeah, she is untraceable.
[5:02]
Maybe because she's played by Diane Lane, star of previous Flophouse film.
[5:07]
Untraceable, get it?
[5:10]
I think you guys are being unfaithful to the context of the situation.
[5:17]
Oh, man, I don't remember any other Diane Lane movie.
[5:20]
I think that if I were in Hollywood land, I wouldn't have greenlit this film Jumper.
[5:29]
All right, that's all I can do.
[5:32]
So the back story we're providing right now, Matt, you didn't really get to see it.
[5:38]
Is this coming as a surprise, as a shock to you?
[5:41]
Actually, with that intro description, I feel like you're just trying to prank me.
[5:47]
I don't believe that's actually how it started.
[5:50]
Well, how do you like to imagine that it began?
[5:52]
You know, maybe Hayden Christensen was buying some Nikes, and he just fell into a magic well.
[6:00]
And that's how he got his powers.
[6:03]
Now, is the magic well in the Nike outlet mall?
[6:07]
No, no, no, he went outside.
[6:09]
Peoria?
[6:10]
Yeah, he's in Peoria.
[6:12]
And he's like, I've got to test these things out.
[6:15]
And then he falls into a well.
[6:17]
I don't really know.
[6:18]
You guys are really putting me on the spot here.
[6:20]
Were they cross-country Nikes or basketball ones?
[6:23]
They were cross-training.
[6:25]
Do they still make sneakers with the pump thing?
[6:28]
I don't know.
[6:29]
I don't think those were Nikes, though, right?
[6:31]
Those were Reeboks.
[6:33]
Pump.
[6:34]
Yeah.
[6:35]
Reebok pump.
[6:36]
I don't think it really matters.
[6:37]
I don't think it really matters.
[6:38]
Ultimately, it matters.
[6:40]
Yeah, sure.
[6:41]
So he's able to jump around and steal shit and basically teleport a lot, right?
[6:45]
He is.
[6:46]
That's pretty powerful.
[6:47]
That's a really powerful ability.
[6:48]
Well, I said to you watching the movie, one of the things the movie gets right is it gives you a feeling of how powerful that ability is.
[6:57]
One of many things it gets right.
[7:00]
You know, I read X-Men comics.
[7:02]
Okay.
[7:03]
And I never, when reading X-Men comics, was like, you know what?
[7:06]
If I was any character, I would be Nightcrawler.
[7:10]
Or Leela Chaney.
[7:11]
Less popular.
[7:13]
You've got to explain Leela Chaney to me.
[7:15]
The intergalactic teleporter slash rock star from the X-Men comics.
[7:20]
She's an intergalactic rock star.
[7:22]
I might have wanted to be a hot intergalactic teleporting rock star.
[7:26]
I would have.
[7:27]
Not necessarily a blue weird guy.
[7:29]
Yeah.
[7:30]
With a tail.
[7:32]
But this movie sort of shows you that, holy shit, the ability to just instantaneously go wherever you want is pretty much one of the more powerful abilities you can have.
[7:42]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[7:43]
But again, that sort of works against the movie.
[7:46]
I mean, we watched the film Next a while back, and that was a movie about a guy who always knew what was going to happen next.
[7:57]
And that sort of removed the suspense of the film.
[7:59]
And likewise, if there's a guy who can basically just, I don't know, jump out of danger whenever he feels like it, again.
[8:07]
I mean, he's attacking guys who are attacking him with, like, batons and other, like, relatively slow-moving projectile weapons.
[8:14]
Like, they're not shooting him with a gun, for instance.
[8:17]
Like, he'll see it coming and just teleport away, right?
[8:20]
Well, let's talk about the bad guys, because without the bad guys, it's just a movie about a guy who can teleport and go surfing.
[8:29]
Like, he's just like, I'm bored with what I'm doing right now.
[8:33]
Where are there awesome waves?
[8:36]
Oh, Fiji.
[8:37]
I can jump there.
[8:39]
I would have liked to see that movie, actually.
[8:41]
Yeah, you missed that part.
[8:43]
Yeah, no, I would have liked to see the entire movie.
[8:46]
Just like, yeah, let me just do this now.
[8:48]
Is he just enjoying himself?
[8:50]
Yeah, you know, because if that movie was 83 minutes, maybe it wouldn't have been such a disaster, you know?
[8:55]
I'd like to see people having fun.
[8:57]
Yeah, just kind of, what's with all this conflict?
[9:00]
You know what I mean?
[9:01]
That's what I think.
[9:02]
It's kind of like an 83-minute-long episode of Entourage.
[9:08]
Yeah, exactly.
[9:09]
Just good things happening to people.
[9:11]
Right.
[9:12]
Yeah.
[9:13]
Is that so impossible?
[9:15]
Well, the thing is, like, this guy, we're supposed to sympathize with him, I suppose, because he had a bad childhood.
[9:21]
But as soon as he learns that he can jump, immediately he applies his skills to, I would say, being a supervillain.
[9:28]
Like, he goes in, and he steals from a bunch of banks.
[9:34]
And we see a shot of him watching Katrina victims being flooded out of their homes and, like, on top of their roofs.
[9:43]
And the person on the TV is like, oh, it would take a miracle to rescue those people now.
[9:49]
And he's like, ahhh, and goes off and, I don't know, makes himself a grilled cheese sandwich or something.
[9:55]
He jumps to his favorite location of Johnny Rockets and gets a handful.
[10:00]
yeah it's a chicken kickers
[10:02]
here
[10:03]
so his favorite place which is in uh... cleveland
[10:07]
uh... as i guess we can make really good chicken kickers
[10:12]
mister
[10:13]
yet like one thing that i was wondering throughout the movies like he doesn't
[10:17]
even walk that many places like he jumps from location to location
[10:21]
location to location
[10:22]
i was wondering like wouldn't wouldn't you end up getting fatter
[10:25]
yeah because he's not really doing it like he serves
[10:28]
but he just goes around and jumps everywhere and i mean like
[10:32]
i as a normal human you know i
[10:35]
so you're clarifying that you're not a jumper
[10:37]
yeah i'm not a jumper everyone so any paladins in the audience please don't try
[10:41]
and kill me
[10:42]
but also
[10:43]
i don't have a particularly lazy lifestyle i don't think i'm not
[10:48]
i'm not
[10:48]
particularly active but i'm not lazy i got a normal lifestyle
[10:52]
but i also go to the gym every uh... lunch hour at work
[10:57]
and see it still
[10:58]
i've got a little like beer belly
[11:00]
you know i'm not i'm not cut
[11:03]
yes really hate christianson uh... well i mean don't you know don't size of
[11:07]
shortened well i appreciate
[11:09]
i'd like to look at
[11:10]
who could take you both of you
[11:13]
uh... this is a really nice
[11:15]
issues as it was a nice shirt you're wearing
[11:18]
so but yeah i like i don't know i mean there could be there could have been a
[11:22]
whole bunch of downtime that they like shot initially and they're like uh... we
[11:26]
have all these shots of him like at the gym and stuff
[11:29]
we probably don't need to put this in the movie it's kind of like padding
[11:32]
yeah i hate christianson he has an old notebook he's like for every jump i've got to do
[11:37]
twenty minutes on the treadmill
[11:39]
uh... or
[11:41]
i think more believably is that
[11:44]
the act of jumping
[11:45]
somehow allows him to burn up calories and or exercises muscles like i bet it's
[11:50]
strenuous on the muscles yeah well on your core muscles specifically
[11:55]
well you got to tense up
[11:58]
yeah probably
[11:59]
uh... i don't know i haven't jumped before
[12:03]
i feel like we're leaving matt out so let's jump ahead
[12:07]
no
[12:10]
to a later point in the film
[12:12]
when uh...
[12:13]
should a lot of bad guys show up yeah
[12:15]
well they call them bad guys
[12:18]
okay what do you think do you think they're bad guys i was rooting for them
[12:23]
i was i was against
[12:25]
i don't know i just assume they were overprivileged
[12:28]
you know the who's the jumpers
[12:30]
yeah hayden christianson and billy elliott
[12:33]
others jumper number two
[12:36]
i think that was his actual name in the script played by jamie bell
[12:41]
best known as billy elliott from the uh... the movie of the same name
[12:45]
the titular role
[12:47]
i remember being so lovable
[12:49]
when i saw billy elliott and now i just
[12:52]
what was that movie about a kid who gets hit by lightning or something i can't remember
[12:55]
yeah and then he can dance
[12:59]
he becomes a vaudeville star
[13:01]
after being hit by lightning
[13:03]
i love this movie that you're constructing
[13:06]
it's like this hybrid of powder and shine and billy elliott
[13:12]
so billy elliott and uh... and hayden christianson are jumping around
[13:17]
they're being they're basically snobs right yeah and sam samuel l jackson
[13:22]
with white hair and by the way
[13:24]
i really have to argue with this like trend
[13:27]
in films like uh... just
[13:29]
you know we're gonna there's gonna be a bad guy our main bad guy
[13:32]
we're gonna give him a hair color that is completely anathema to like what his
[13:36]
normal hair color it's like
[13:37]
they got sam jackson with like albino white
[13:41]
hair yeah
[13:42]
and that's supposed to indicate that he is one bad comic book villain style
[13:49]
that's really it
[13:50]
i noticed that
[13:52]
isn't his name like gideon or something no his name is like gideon claw
[13:58]
you're you're imagining it as much more awesome than it was
[14:01]
the thing was his name was super nerdy
[14:03]
his name was roland
[14:04]
that's pretty nerdy
[14:06]
sam jackson imagine sam jackson playing a character named roland
[14:11]
i'm already asleep
[14:14]
i'm chuckling in my brain
[14:16]
yeah he has like a team of guys that all have like electric batons what are they called
[14:21]
stewart they're called paladins i think
[14:24]
oh it's because they're evil and related to the church right
[14:29]
well this is the thing that i mentioned
[14:31]
billy ellen is explaining who the paladins are
[14:34]
and basically what he says is like
[14:36]
they're like
[14:37]
religious lunatics
[14:39]
they were the people behind the crusades and the inquisition
[14:43]
and it felt like such bullshit
[14:45]
screenplay shorthand to me
[14:48]
we're not going to actually establish the villains by showing them doing anything villainous
[14:52]
we're just going to be like
[14:53]
um... there's a historical thing in the past that was bad
[14:57]
these dudes were behind that
[14:59]
because otherwise i'm just like you know what
[15:02]
payton christensen's going around robbing a bunch of banks
[15:05]
i don't know if i object
[15:07]
to samuel l jackson coming in and stopping him from doing that
[15:11]
yeah it's like saying something like uh... i don't know like
[15:14]
uh... remember gang is gone well these guys used to go out and hang out with
[15:18]
them and give my advice is uh...
[15:20]
uh...
[15:21]
they totally supported him they totally agreed with his his ideas
[15:25]
on raping
[15:27]
the uh...
[15:28]
uh... so that's the thing is like that bullshit of like making
[15:32]
just making stuff up like total movie shorthand
[15:36]
so i giving up guy white hair and you're like oh he's going to be the bad guy
[15:41]
uh...
[15:42]
they have electric batons i keep bringing that up
[15:46]
what do those electric batons do
[15:48]
uh... they should i think they shock the jumper
[15:51]
yeah make it hard for them to jump that was a great peter gabriel song shock the
[15:55]
jumper nice i remember that one
[15:57]
uh... they also shoot out like whips or something i think
[16:00]
i might have missed that part though
[16:02]
well you know what here's what i want to say is that the paladins
[16:06]
can follow the jumper like they've got like a limited window of time
[16:10]
where they can follow the jumper through
[16:13]
the like a rip that they make in the space time continuum which is called
[16:17]
like a jump scar
[16:18]
which led to my favorite
[16:20]
line of like
[16:21]
unintentionally sexual dialogue
[16:24]
uh... one of the characters said
[16:26]
i came through your jump scar
[16:29]
i just came across your jump scar
[16:33]
seems a little
[16:34]
seems a little risque
[16:37]
i came across a girl's jump scar once
[16:41]
uh...
[16:43]
i just did that to get the shocked look on matt's face which you can't get
[16:47]
across in a podcast is a problem
[16:50]
so now i seem like the dick
[16:51]
yeah yeah
[16:53]
so uh...
[16:55]
matt you came in halfway
[16:57]
maybe two-thirds of the way into the movie yeah with that in mind like did it
[17:00]
hold together did the last like third hold together were you like i totally
[17:04]
understand what what's happening to me i gotta go home and rent this movie
[17:08]
immediately i gotta put it on the top of my netflix q
[17:11]
there's somewhere between those two
[17:14]
i don't have to go and rent
[17:15]
this movie
[17:16]
but i don't really know what's going on
[17:19]
i got that they were jumping through time they're not time space that time is
[17:24]
space time
[17:26]
time is back to the future
[17:27]
all right so uh... okay you're thinking of time after time
[17:32]
i'm thinking of stanley and iris with uh... robert de niro and
[17:36]
was it glenn first? you're thinking of mad dog and glory
[17:40]
mother jugs and speed
[17:43]
you're thinking of uptown saturday night i might be thinking of beneath the valley of the
[17:47]
ultra vixens
[17:49]
but uh...
[17:51]
i forgot what i was saying
[17:54]
you understood they were jumping around yeah i pretty much i got it and that was it
[17:59]
there's really nothing else to get there's a whole lot of jumping going on
[18:03]
yeah it's basically there's just one idea
[18:06]
and nothing was added to it for the forty minutes that i saw
[18:09]
well that's the weird thing about the movie
[18:12]
i gotta say it spends a little time setting up the plot
[18:15]
and then
[18:17]
it does absolutely nothing with it
[18:19]
we've totally neglected to
[18:21]
mention
[18:22]
the love interest thus far yeah she's in the o.c. right? yeah
[18:26]
rachel bilson
[18:27]
uh... summer roberts of the o.c.
[18:30]
yeah she's pretty skinny
[18:31]
yeah skinny and she's got really big eyes
[18:34]
yeah i really had a problem with that
[18:37]
i thought it was really distracting
[18:40]
betty boop eyes
[18:41]
put some glasses on
[18:44]
miniaturizing glasses
[18:45]
exactly
[18:47]
just shrink them
[18:47]
but the thing is like she was supposed to be
[18:51]
the adult version of the character that the main character had a crush on in high
[18:55]
school
[18:56]
and this is something that really bothers me in movies because i understand why they
[18:59]
do it i understand like from a screenplay perspective
[19:03]
the idea of like well okay this is the
[19:05]
the main character's one true love
[19:07]
and we're gonna set it up
[19:09]
and as a kid true love begins in high school yeah exactly as a kid we're gonna see how it progresses
[19:14]
but in fucking real life
[19:16]
no high school relationship
[19:18]
does or should survives in that way you've totally alienated every single one of our listeners
[19:25]
because our listenership is made up of fourteen year old girls
[19:30]
predominantly high school sweethearts and fourteen year old girls
[19:33]
i hate to break it to you
[19:35]
all fourteen year old girls who are listening to this podcast but
[19:38]
the man that you're in love with now is not the man
[19:41]
that you're going to spend the rest of your life with
[19:43]
unless he's a jumper
[19:45]
yeah
[19:48]
that's the fucking caveat
[19:50]
that's in the
[19:51]
that's in the contract
[19:54]
no but it really it actually does bother me because
[19:57]
like i said i understand story wise why it's the
[20:00]
and but
[20:00]
it creates this whole like
[20:03]
i like unrealistic viewpoint of hollywood is is selling like
[20:06]
yeah you know what
[20:08]
you guys were just meant to be so you know what my actually don't know much
[20:12]
in common with it
[20:13]
i just thought you were hot when we were in high school
[20:16]
i was kinda hoping to bone ya
[20:18]
but uh... i've been hanging out with this other chick i'm a little closer to you
[20:21]
like they didn't do anything like that which is what i would have preferred
[20:24]
and i mean really to tell you the truth he's kind of like his character was kind of a dick
[20:28]
anyway so i don't really care if you found true love
[20:31]
well the movie was written by a fifteen-year-old
[20:34]
oh it's like those books about dragons
[20:38]
aragon
[20:39]
one of those books about uh... sexy vampires
[20:42]
those were written by a fifteen-year-old too
[20:44]
well i think there's several series about sexy vampires
[20:48]
but isn't there one series that is like
[20:51]
yeah some teenage like woman
[20:54]
i don't know i want to read those
[20:56]
i hope
[20:57]
i read something like that on the internet
[21:00]
any series of books about sexy vampires i hope were written by a teenage girl because
[21:03]
if you're older
[21:05]
than a teen and you're not a girl you shouldn't be writing books about sexy vampires
[21:10]
says you uh... do you think there's already uh... do you think there's any jumper slash fiction
[21:16]
on the internet yet
[21:17]
with hayden christensen and billy elliott
[21:20]
throwing each other in jumper space
[21:24]
because that would be homosexual
[21:27]
is uh... is homosexual
[21:30]
i thought that was gash
[21:32]
yeah i was wondering that
[21:34]
i've never heard the term gash but i assume that would be
[21:37]
referring to lesbian
[21:39]
slash fiction because that makes way more sense actually now that i think about it
[21:44]
so if there's like a girl jumper and buffy the vampire slayer they'd be like
[21:48]
they'd be having sex with each other like the girl jumper jumps into sunnydale
[21:52]
and then a lot of screwing ensues
[21:55]
while spike jacks are the jacks off
[21:58]
i think we're turning metal on
[22:00]
i'm getting a little hot and bothered
[22:03]
so do you already think there's some of that jumper slash fiction out there
[22:05]
oh i think no i'm
[22:07]
i'm the same
[22:08]
lonely fifteen-year-old or fourteen-year-old girl who's writing the erotic vampire fiction
[22:13]
she's probably up there writing uh...
[22:15]
some hot
[22:17]
hot stories about jumping
[22:18]
uh... yeah i'm gonna check that out on the internet tonight maybe hopefully there'll
[22:22]
be some good some good pics some good drawings yeah
[22:26]
i like weird drawings so uh...
[22:31]
so dan what do you think uh... before we get into the final judgments on this movie
[22:37]
i just want to say something about the climax the climax is totally weird to this movie
[22:42]
uh... because so
[22:44]
well there's a big fight between
[22:46]
uh... jumping mcjumperson and that's our main character sam jackson
[22:51]
and basically it just ends with uh...
[22:54]
him jumping samuel l jackson
[22:57]
into the middle of the grand canyon
[23:00]
and being like
[23:01]
see
[23:02]
i told you that all jumpers aren't evil
[23:05]
even though
[23:06]
like we said he's basically a serial bank robber
[23:09]
and then he jumps away and sam jackson gives this like
[23:13]
oh that's sassy jumper look
[23:15]
i think he shakes his head and maybe does a little clap
[23:18]
and i don't know if we should believe that he's like
[23:23]
well he proved his point i'm gonna give up my quest
[23:26]
no it's more of a here we go again
[23:29]
yeah and it's sort of like
[23:31]
again
[23:31]
i sort of sympathize more with samuel l jackson
[23:35]
and
[23:36]
if we really wanted you know hayden christensen to be our hero at some point
[23:41]
sam jackson would have had to like try and actually murder someone
[23:45]
maybe yes he did murder people oh yeah he did murder one of those other jumpers but that other jumper
[23:50]
as far as we know that other jumper was a killer
[23:52]
yeah he could have been a serial killer
[23:55]
he looked kind of rough i'd like to think so that was the thing like he
[23:58]
really he kept
[23:59]
playing uh... samuel jackson's character kept playing on the idea
[24:03]
that like only god should have the power to jump places and stuff
[24:07]
but um...
[24:08]
do you think that when he was like
[24:09]
ditched off in a cave somewhere in the grand canyon with like no way to get out
[24:13]
of there
[24:14]
do you think there's at least even a moment where he's like
[24:17]
dude i wish some jumper came over and helped me out of this jam
[24:20]
i ain't waiting around like do you ever think of that like ever i think with those
[24:24]
people like the bad guys when they realize that somebody could jump i
[24:27]
wonder if they're like
[24:28]
man i hate waiting for this fucking subway train i wish i could have been like a jumper
[24:33]
and jumped to where i want to go
[24:35]
sure jumpers they've got a lot of extra time in their day
[24:39]
i think so
[24:40]
fucking like one hour commute both ways to work
[24:43]
not jumpers i could jump there
[24:46]
they know about mutual funds they
[24:48]
research things they just have a lot of time they know a lot about different things
[24:52]
it's like groundhog day you're saying that they use their extra time to better
[24:56]
themselves like they just learn about things i don't even think they have normal jobs though
[25:01]
at least the two jumpers we saw in the movie don't have normal jobs they just bank rob
[25:06]
well here's the like also we're to believe that hayden christensen is a better jumper
[25:09]
because
[25:10]
he leaves IOUs
[25:12]
when he robs banks
[25:13]
but i don't know how he's supposed to pay his money back because as far as we can tell he's just
[25:17]
outright spending the money he steals it's not like he's like
[25:20]
alright i'm going to steal this money
[25:22]
then i'm going to invest it in something high yield
[25:24]
so he'll have the money then pay back the bank he doesn't start up like jumper
[25:28]
industries or anything no
[25:31]
he should though maybe that's the sequel
[25:33]
that might be the sequel
[25:34]
well this movie actually felt like it was really setting up for a sequel
[25:38]
uh... you know that's actually that's one thought i kept having it's like this
[25:41]
is this is really lame
[25:44]
and this is just not i feel like they wanted to catch on but there's nothing
[25:48]
i don't know who cares
[25:50]
who cares about jumping what would you like to see in the jumper sequel
[25:53]
uh... that's a good question
[25:55]
uh... i'd like to see more introspection
[25:57]
and a lot less jumping
[25:59]
in fact i'd appreciate if there was no jumping
[26:02]
you'd be like
[26:03]
my dinner with jumpers
[26:05]
pretty much
[26:08]
you want more introspection like uh...
[26:12]
exactly
[26:13]
introspection like the angley version of the hulk movie where he's like
[26:17]
most of the time he's just like uh... what happened in my past why am i a hulk
[26:24]
exactly looking at a mirror and stuff yeah that'd be pretty cool
[26:27]
uh... jumper two the thing i totally want is i want a fat sidekick jumper
[26:33]
who uses his powers to jump into girls locker rooms to see naked ladies
[26:38]
a la the invisible maniac
[26:40]
now this really cries out to be a nineteen eighties tna comedy
[26:45]
uh... like a up all night style
[26:48]
with dom deluise
[26:49]
i mean i mean
[26:50]
wait a minute
[26:53]
i figured he could have a race around the world maybe dom deluise could be in the outtakes
[26:58]
at the end
[26:59]
alright just as long as he's somewhere
[27:01]
him and him and rip taylor
[27:04]
we that's a buddy movie uh...
[27:08]
yeah that'd be really awesome
[27:10]
uh... but then that's the thing like any anytime there is a super power in a movie
[27:15]
i'd always like to see that super power applied to you know
[27:19]
taking girls clothes off so if it's like somebody shoots laser beams out their eyes
[27:24]
use those laser beams to shoot off a girl's dress
[27:28]
control magnets use those magnets to remove a girl's dress things like that
[27:33]
so you didn't put forward what you what you want in the sequel dan
[27:37]
or prequel
[27:39]
well there buddy
[27:42]
the animated prequel
[27:45]
the clone wars
[27:47]
yeah
[27:48]
oh god what would i see in the sequel
[27:50]
i don't know i think that he would just start like a jumper tours
[27:54]
like uh...
[27:56]
there'd be a group of maybe five people they would take around like
[28:00]
uh... in five seconds we will be on top of the sphinx
[28:05]
and here we are
[28:07]
and i don't know anything about the sphinx but we're on top of it right now
[28:11]
and now
[28:13]
we are on the great wall of china
[28:16]
and it's a long wall
[28:19]
and now we're on the moon
[28:20]
we can't breathe here so let's keep it moving
[28:23]
i don't know it's more of a travelogue than a movie
[28:26]
i'd like to see an evil alien jumper show up
[28:31]
who uses his powers for evil
[28:35]
but he's an alien because he's got green skin and big eyes
[28:38]
what if robin williams was a jumper
[28:40]
that would be
[28:42]
that's a question that doug lyman didn't ask his creative team
[28:47]
there would be a lot of
[28:48]
there would be a lot more stock characters jumping around and robin williams
[28:52]
there'd be like the flamboyantly gay jumper and there'd be like
[28:56]
uh... nineteen seventies black panther jumper and uh... incredibly old hairy
[29:03]
comedian
[29:04]
uh... jumper
[29:06]
so yeah what we're saying is robin williams has a lot of schtick
[29:09]
yeah
[29:10]
and he's hairy
[29:12]
man so that was uh... that was jumper so are we ready to
[29:19]
let's give our final judgments and uh... for the benefit
[29:23]
of matt and people who may not have listened to a lot of episodes i'll run
[29:27]
down the categories again
[29:29]
this is a movie
[29:30]
that was a bad bad movie a movie that you would not recommend for any reason
[29:35]
movie that was a good bad movie a movie that you thought was uh... bad in a
[29:39]
funny way in some way or
[29:42]
a movie that you actually kind of like you thought there was something redeeming about it
[29:46]
uh... without irony
[29:48]
so uh... matt
[29:50]
i know that you only saw the last half of it based on that
[29:54]
what would you say
[29:55]
i don't think it's the worst movie that i've ever seen i just want to
[30:00]
make that clear but uh... i do think it was a bad bad movie
[30:05]
uh... i feel like the ending was really lame
[30:09]
i don't know it's just like it wasn't really funny enough
[30:12]
didn't have like any
[30:13]
charm to it
[30:14]
there's no joie de vivre
[30:16]
yeah there was no
[30:18]
good french dude
[30:19]
exactly i don't know i just didn't find like uh... any kind of uh... warmth or humor
[30:25]
you know i just like i didn't know anything about the characters but i knew
[30:28]
that i hated them
[30:30]
uh... i'll just put it that way no matter what side in the war they're on
[30:34]
exactly i just automatically yeah i automatically took the side of
[30:40]
samuel l jackson
[30:42]
and he was the bad guy and that's that was a bad move
[30:45]
because he ended up losing i think
[30:48]
no i know so if you put money on him he'd be out well he'd be out money
[30:53]
that's what i'm saying and that's the thing i just i ended up coming at the
[30:58]
in every aspect of this movie
[31:00]
yeah bad bad movie that's mad cops vote
[31:04]
yeah i mean i think part of that like
[31:07]
i think right before you came in we'd pause the movie and we're like
[31:11]
you know we're talking about i'm like you know what this isn't that bad like i
[31:13]
think it's ok
[31:15]
uh... i'm kind of getting into it i'm kind of enjoying it
[31:19]
uh... like
[31:20]
obviously i thought the character was annoying but whatever like it's
[31:24]
interesting
[31:25]
and then uh... yeah then the rest of the movies is kind of overly fast and boring
[31:29]
and uh...
[31:31]
yeah i just felt like they're like a uh... here's a movie okay okay okay now
[31:35]
we're done
[31:36]
like there's no real conclusion there
[31:38]
so well what mike
[31:41]
i guess i'll have to say it's a bad bad movie because
[31:44]
i didn't really enjoy it that much you have to believe that there was a full two hour
[31:49]
cut of jumper somewhere that just wasn't released
[31:52]
in my dreams and in Lou's sketchpad
[31:56]
well here's the thing
[31:58]
i agree with our one-time co-host
[32:01]
our guest host Lou Fernandez who said
[32:04]
that the first forty minutes of jumper
[32:08]
were pretty entertaining
[32:09]
because
[32:10]
you know with all the fun that we've made of the fact that
[32:13]
uh... Hayden Christensen's character was completely
[32:16]
amoral and was like
[32:17]
you know what i'm going to do with this power is i'm going to rob a bunch of banks
[32:21]
part of me thought that was kind of awesome like
[32:23]
oh yeah you know what
[32:25]
yeah that's what you would do Dan
[32:27]
yeah if i had no uh... worries about repercussions
[32:32]
sure
[32:33]
why not rob a bunch of banks
[32:36]
but then after forty minutes
[32:38]
after the setup after showing the premise of like oh this guy's a teleporter
[32:42]
and
[32:43]
and let me show you how he discovers that and what he does with it
[32:46]
then as soon as the conflict comes in
[32:49]
it just becomes
[32:51]
uh... completely rote and it doesn't make any sense
[32:55]
and i don't know why these people are after these other people and why i need
[32:59]
to root for one group of people over another and every bit of dialogue is
[33:03]
directly tied into
[33:05]
uh... a plot point later on in the movie
[33:07]
yeah i should uh...
[33:10]
ultimately
[33:11]
again this is this is like my dragon wars review where i'm just like if you
[33:14]
just watch the parts that are about dragon wars
[33:17]
you might enjoy it
[33:18]
if you have
[33:20]
like forty minutes to kill before you you're meeting your buddies at the bar
[33:24]
or something
[33:25]
like the first forty minutes of jumper comes on HBO
[33:28]
not the last yeah you can even pass time with that
[33:32]
and then as as lou said then draw the rest yeah yeah just draw the adventures of jumper
[33:36]
imagine what adventures jumper will have
[33:39]
what sights he will see
[33:41]
uh...
[33:43]
so let's put that behind
[33:44]
man there's three bad ones three three thumbs down for jumper yeah
[33:48]
i think we gave more thumbs up for the brats movie speaking of lou i wanted to say
[33:53]
he sent me a message about untraceable that i thought was uh... worth repeating
[33:57]
he was talking about uh... what he wanted to see
[34:01]
in untraceable was
[34:02]
well he was wondering what the bandwidth cost of having uh... thirty
[34:07]
thousand uh... come kill with me
[34:10]
uh... audience members downloading uh... streaming video of the murder would cost
[34:15]
him
[34:16]
and like who's funding this killer
[34:19]
yeah that costs a lot of money right yeah man i don't know the internet very well but i would
[34:23]
imagine that equals dollars and also like if there was another guy sharing the same
[34:26]
server you know like a guy who's just like oh this is my uh...
[34:30]
garfield fanfic site or whatever jumper slash pic site and uh... and then uh... the
[34:37]
fbi shuts down kill with me
[34:40]
and he's just like emailing the guy like
[34:42]
uh... hosting on your site that what the fbi shut it down
[34:48]
and that was a good point maybe a nerdy point maybe a point that uh... only
[34:52]
someone
[34:53]
who works in sort of an i t field as lou
[34:56]
would come up with but uh...
[34:59]
worthwhile nonetheless
[35:01]
so traceable wasn't very good right now it was a bad one
[35:04]
but the point is the point that i'm trying to come up with is uh...
[35:08]
my birthday this week stewart
[35:10]
all she is
[35:12]
forgot to get you know i got you uh... what did you get me

[37:19]
what about a scarf
[37:21]
well if they want to digitize if they want to scan a scarf
[37:23]
and send it to me as a jpeg that would be a lot of help to you
[37:28]
yeah well i could
[37:30]
well i can look at the design and maybe knit my own based on what it would turn
[37:34]
into a scarf like a scarf from the money for nothing video from
[37:37]
by dire straits like a weird like computerized scarf that you can put around your neck
[37:41]
definitely

you should post them on the web
[38:03]
well if uh... if there was a demand for it
[38:08]
a demand okay sure
[38:09]

[38:13]
flop house podcast dot blogspot dot com into a porn site
[38:18]
per se per se
[38:21]
i mean there is a there is

[39:08]
yeah so shameless demand
[39:11]
uh... uh... really god
[39:14]
so then uh... you like movies right you watch movies every once in a while
[39:19]
familiar with that yeah we just got done watching a movie didn't like that much
[39:23]
what was that movie called? uh... jumper
[39:25]
uh... i don't recall that
[39:28]
uh... but with that in mind
[39:29]
uh... you know the movie you didn't just watch
[39:32]
have you watched any movies lately that you do like? i did watch a movie lately that i enjoyed
[39:36]
i watched actually several movies lately that i enjoyed but i'll keep it just one
[39:40]
uh... i watched a film called P2
[39:44]
which is short i believe for parking two
[39:47]
okay
[39:48]
uh... it's a movie
[39:49]
well i'm glad they didn't call it parking two because it's too long
[39:53]
two characters
[39:54]
pretty pithy
[39:55]
it was a movie that did not get a lot of good reviews
[39:59]
other than uh...
[40:00]
Roger Ebert actually gave it a fairly good review, and so did the New York Times, but
[40:03]
in general it got ignored.
[40:06]
But it's a good thriller.
[40:07]
It was co-written by Alexandra Aja, who did High Tension, and I believe he produced it
[40:15]
as well.
[40:16]
And it stars Rachel Nichols and Wes Bentley, who you may remember as the guy who videotaped
[40:24]
the plastic bag in American Beauty.
[40:27]
And it's a movie about a workaholic who, on Christmas Eve, she gets locked basically
[40:35]
in the parking garage of her building and is terrorized by the parking attendant who
[40:41]
is obsessed with her and in love with her.
[40:43]
It's kind of like the Scrooge story, right?
[40:45]
It's exactly like...
[40:46]
It's also like the best Christmas pageant ever.
[40:50]
It's the same thing.
[40:51]
Oh, no kidding.
[40:52]
Basically, it's that story.
[40:53]
Aside from the fact that it has Rachel Nichols in a slip for that Muslim movie, and she's
[41:00]
an attractive Muslim lady.
[41:01]
What's a slip?
[41:03]
It's an underthing.
[41:04]
It's like a nightgown?
[41:05]
It's a nightgown.
[41:06]
It's a thing that women wear underneath, beneath their outer clothes sometimes.
[41:11]
Okay.
[41:12]
I'll check this out.
[41:13]
I know you're not familiar with this concept.
[41:15]
No, I'm not.
[41:16]
But I like it because one thing about it is it sort of passed the diehard test, where
[41:21]
you know, one of the good things about diehard is Bruce Willis' character doesn't try and
[41:26]
take out the terrorists until all the other sort of avenues are closed to him.
[41:32]
And this movie does a good like thriller construction job of saying like, basically there's nothing
[41:37]
else that she can do.
[41:38]
She has to deal with this guy, and this is why she's trapped, and it all makes sense.
[41:45]
But also, like another B-movie that I enjoyed, Red Eye, not a great movie, but like a really
[41:52]
solid B-movie, it has a female protagonist who's like this super competent woman executive
[42:01]
who does everything right, and that makes the thriller that much better because you're
[42:06]
never like, why is this character doing this thing that doesn't make any sense?
[42:09]
You know, like she does everything that you think someone should do in that situation
[42:14]
and still, like, the screws are turned on her.
[42:18]
Yeah, and Red Eye just felt bad for the bad guy, like, because he just kept getting his
[42:22]
ass kicked.
[42:23]
Yeah.
[42:24]
Like, from like five minutes in, like, it's just bad for him.
[42:28]
Yeah.
[42:29]
That was kind of funny though, that's like, that's what, another Wes Craven, that's like
[42:32]
what I liked about the original Scream was just like, how the killer in that movie just
[42:38]
kept sort of getting like, knocked on his ass.
[42:42]
Yeah.
[42:43]
Yeah.
[42:44]
Like, CGI plants hit him in the crotch and stuff.
[42:45]
Sure.
[42:46]
I think.
[42:47]
He swung from vines.
[42:48]
With CGI monkeys.
[42:49]
Through the jungle.
[42:50]
Sure.
[42:51]
So, Matt, have you seen any good movies lately?
[42:55]
Well, my Netflix queue has been taken up the past few months by one big movie, well, not
[43:02]
really a movie, a documentary, the New York documentary by Rick Burns.
[43:08]
Okay.
[43:09]
And I enjoy it a lot.
[43:10]
I just got through the part about Robert Moses and his Title One project, how they kind of
[43:18]
ripped through New York building, you know, tearing down slums and displacing people from
[43:23]
communities.
[43:24]
It's kind of a downer actually, but yeah, no, it was very interesting.
[43:30]
And now the next disc is going to be about September 11th, which they actually did.
[43:37]
The main documentary was done in 1999, they did the eighth part after that.
[43:44]
So.
[43:45]
You're making me sad.
[43:46]
Remember 9-11?
[43:47]
Yeah.
[43:48]
Yeah.
[43:49]
Apparently they show bodies.
[43:50]
What?
[43:51]
Falling.
[43:52]
Yeah.
[43:53]
Anyway, I don't know, I realized halfway through that description I didn't have anything funny.
[43:54]
I didn't understand the concept of a recommendation.
[43:55]
No, no, but I mean, it's really interesting.
[43:56]
I really enjoyed it.
[43:57]
Yeah.
[43:58]
Yeah.
[43:59]
Yeah.
[44:00]
Yeah.
[44:01]
Yeah.
[44:02]
Yeah.
[44:03]
Yeah.
[44:04]
Yeah.
[44:05]
Yeah.
[44:06]
Yeah.
[44:07]
Yeah.
[44:08]
It's very interesting.
[44:09]
I really like this documentary.
[44:10]
It's not by Ken Burns, it's by Rick Burns, I think, is his brother or something.
[44:13]
Yeah.
[44:14]
My only experience-
[44:15]
It's by Rick Okasik.
[44:16]
Yeah.
[44:17]
Yeah.
[44:18]
Cars.
[44:19]
My only real experience with September 11th is like the comic book cover of Captain America
[44:26]
crying silhouetted above the two towers.
[44:30]
Yeah.
[44:31]
Yeah.
[44:32]
Like burning or something.
[44:33]
It wasn't-
[44:34]
It was really moving.
[44:35]
Yeah.
[44:36]
Yeah.
[44:37]
Yeah.
[44:38]
It was like that.
[44:39]
It was a lot of it.
[44:40]
Maybe a little bit.
[44:41]
Wasn't Doctor Doom crying too?
[44:42]
Probably.
[44:43]
I mean, if I was Doctor Doom, I would cry.
[44:44]
My friend Dave Fox has a good bit about that.
[44:47]
He's like, yeah, Doctor Doom was crying in this September 11th comic.
[44:53]
He's like, you're Doctor Doom, your aim is to kill everyone.
[44:58]
Why are you-
[45:00]
But maybe he had some friends in the Latvian embassy in the World Trade Center.
[45:05]
That's probably what happened.
[45:06]
Sorry.
[45:07]
Latvian.
[45:08]
Latvian.
[45:09]
Latvian is an actual-
[45:10]
Latvian is an actual-
[45:11]
Latvian is not- Wait, didn't Ultra- I don't know, I don't want to talk about it.
[45:16]
Why don't you just recommend something rather than alienating the audience?
[45:20]
Yeah, really.
[45:21]
Okay, Jesus.
[45:22]
I want to recommend the movie Stuck.
[45:26]
It's the most recent Stuart Gordon movie, director and re-animator.
[45:31]
It's currently in theaters, and it is about a guy who recently becomes homeless, played
[45:38]
by Stephen Rhea, and he gets hit by Mina Suvari's car, Mina Suvari who has very nice braids
[45:50]
in the movie.
[45:51]
Cornrows.
[45:52]
Cornrows, thank you.
[45:53]
Cornrows.
[45:54]
And she hits him with her car, and he gets stuck in her windshield, and she gets scared,
[45:58]
so she parks her car in her garage and leaves him there pretty much to die, and that's when
[46:04]
the fun begins.
[46:05]
Whoa.
[46:06]
But it's like all Stuart Gordon movies, it's really good at making you feel uncomfortable
[46:14]
about the gore and the violence, and it's also kind of funny.
[46:19]
It's darkly humorous.
[46:21]
Yeah, so it's good.
[46:23]
I totally recommend it.
[46:24]
Hooray.
[46:25]
Yeah.
[46:26]
Woo.
[46:28]
So, uh, well, that's, I guess, you know, I want to, before we go, I want to say...
[46:34]
It's your birthday again?
[46:35]
You want to bring it up?
[46:36]
Yeah.
[46:37]
Oh, it's 15 minutes?
[46:38]
Yeah.
[46:39]
15 minutes till your birthday.
[46:40]
I actually don't want to bring it up.
[46:41]
Oh, okay.
[46:42]
Oh.
[46:43]
Because I'm aging.
[46:44]
Sure.
[46:45]
But we all are.
[46:46]
We're all aging.
[46:47]
Yeah, but I only care about myself, Matt.
[46:48]
That's what you don't understand about me.
[46:49]
All right.
[46:50]
But what I did want to say is that...
[46:51]
You're like a jumper.
[46:52]
Yeah.
[46:53]
I wish I could jump back.
[46:54]
They can't do that in the movie.
[46:55]
They can just jump through space.
[46:56]
So, what did you want to talk about, dude?
[46:57]
I did want to say that people should go to theflophousepodcast.blogspot.com, and they
[46:58]
should...
[46:59]
I put up a video version of one of the previous Movie Minutes.
[47:00]
You can also see Elliot in another appearance on the Daily Show.
[47:01]
So, there's always interesting things.
[47:02]
Oh, wow.
[47:03]
I see.
[47:04]

[47:05]

[47:24]
And if you have anything else you want to say to us, not just gifts for me, you can
[47:25]
send it to theflophousepodcast.blogspot.com.
[47:26]
And maybe we'll answer any questions or concerns on the show.
[47:27]
We probably will, dude.
[47:28]
Yeah, we got a lot of time to fill.
[47:29]
Yeah.
[47:30]
So, I just want to say thank you to Matt for coming in unexpectedly.
[47:31]
We called him like an hour before he showed up.
[47:32]
Yeah.
[47:33]
I know.
[47:34]

[47:35]

[47:50]
I know.
[47:51]
I know.
[47:52]
I know.
[47:53]
I know.
[47:54]
We called him like an hour before he showed up to come in and see the last half of the
[47:55]
movie.
[47:56]
That wasn't very good.
[47:57]
And talk about it.
[47:58]
Hooray, Matt!
[47:59]
And we're taking it in stride.
[48:00]
Oh, by the way, I had a question for you.
[48:01]
Where did you get the name for this podcast?
[48:02]
That's true.
[48:03]
Matt Coff is responsible for the name of this podcast.
[48:04]
What, Jumper?
[48:05]
Yes.
[48:06]
Yes.
[48:07]
This podcast is called Jumper.
[48:08]
No, The Flop House.
[48:09]
Oh, awesome.
[48:10]
He came up with the title, The Flop House.
[48:11]
That's right.
[48:12]
What was the name of the podcast?
[48:13]
It was Jumper.
[48:14]
Oh, I see.
[48:16]
So you get some of our profits.
[48:17]
If you wanted to put a voice with the name, you've done it tonight.
[48:18]
So for The Flop House, I want to say, I'm Dan McCoy.
[48:19]
I'm Stuart Willington.
[48:20]
And I'm guest host, Matt Coff.
[48:21]
Good night, everybody.

[48:46]
Oh, yay.
[48:48]
So didn't Ultron kill everybody in Lat Veri or something.
[48:56]
Let's put mine over here.
[48:57]
Yeah, let's get started.
[48:58]
Let's get started.
[48:59]
Dan's looking tired.
[49:00]
Yeah, Dan is looking tired.
[49:01]
Dan is looking 30.
[49:03]
Oh, my God.
[49:05]
Almost 30.
[49:06]
Almost 30.
[49:07]
What's that feel like?
[49:08]
Does it burn?
[49:09]
I think that's what the podcast should be about because I have nothing to say about Jumper.
[49:12]
Do your bones creak when you move?
[49:15]
Shut the fuck up.
