The Flop House Movie Minute #5 - Moral Lessons

Dan McCoy

[0:00] And now, the Flophouse Movie Minute.

Stuart Wellington

[0:30] And it was dark in there.

[0:32] And there was a lot of scenes with spiders and shit crawling all over the place.

[0:35] So, it was kind of funny because slowly people started getting up.

[0:39] Like the people I was with started getting up and like walking and standing in the back of the movie theater in the light.

[0:46] And by the end of the movie, we all were.

[0:48] Because we were all fucking creeped out.

[0:50] Because we kept thinking like there might be spiders crawling up and shit.

[0:53] But at the end of the day, there's no spiders in the movie theater.

[0:55] And the movie was, meh, not that great.

[0:59] So, that was when I went to go to see Arachnophobia.

[1:03] Is there a moral to this story?

[1:09] Wait.

[1:10] Wait.

[1:11] Wait.

[1:12] Wait.

[1:14] Julian Sands is in that movie.

[1:16] He was also in the Warlock movies.

Dan McCoy

[1:17] That's not a moral.

[1:18] That's a fact about Arachnophobia.

[1:20] Wait.

Stuart Wellington

[1:20] Wait.

[1:21] Wait.

[1:22] Wait.

[1:24] Wait.

[1:25] I think I'm frightened of spiders, actually.

Dan McCoy

[1:28] That's not a moral, really.

[1:29] That's sort of the lesson you learned about yourself.

[1:31] But that's not something that can be applied by other people.

Stuart Wellington

[1:34] Wait.

[1:35] Okay.

[1:35] Wait.

[1:37] If you're going to make a movie and you don't want people to get up and walk away, you shouldn't

[1:42] make it about creepy things in a dark movie theater.

Dan McCoy

[1:46] That comes close to being a moral.

[1:48] That's advice.

[1:50] That's advice for aspiring filmmakers.

[1:55] Wait.

[1:58] Wait.

Stuart Wellington

[2:00] Wait.

Stuart Wellington

[2:00] Wait.

[2:05] Dan, there was this one time when I went and saw Arachnophobia with my mom and a couple

[2:08] of friends.

[2:10] And we got really creeped out by all the spiders.

[2:13] And we all got up and watched it.

[2:15] Wait a minute.

[2:15] There were much of spiders in the theater?

[2:17] Yeah.

[2:17] No.

[2:19] No.

[2:20] The movie Arachnophobia has a bunch of spiders in it.

Elliott Kalan

[2:22] They should have called an exterminator to get the spiders out of the theater.

Stuart Wellington

[2:25] You know, there are consumer lines you can call.

Elliott Kalan

[2:27] I assume they were serving food, like popcorn and things in the theater.

[2:30] But they covered in spiders?

[2:32] This has been...

[2:33] Another unreleasable movie minute.

Dan McCoy

[2:35] This has been Dan McCoy Ask Stuart Wellington for long, rambling, nerdy movie anecdotes.

Stuart Wellington

[2:43] I'm your host, Dan McCoy.

Dan McCoy

[2:46] This is the most unpopular podcast in the universe.

Elliott Kalan

[2:50] So long, Gunker.

Dan McCoy

[2:56] Maybe we don't have a movie minute in us, Dan.

[2:58] I'm drunk.

[2:58] I'm drunk tonight.

Stuart Wellington

[3:02] You're going to listen to these tomorrow and you're going to be like, solid gold.

[3:06] Somebody...

[3:07] Sarah!

[3:08] Sarah, turn on the radio!

[3:09] It'll already be playing and you're like, oh my god!

Elliott Kalan

[3:13] We're billionaires!

[3:15] Baby, start living right.

Stuart Wellington

[3:16] Go buy yourself a solid gold haircut.

Elliott Kalan

[3:20] Go buy yourself everything you've always wanted but didn't even have.

Dan McCoy

[3:22] Someday this is going to be a landmark experiment in anti-entertainment.

Elliott Kalan

[3:26] I think that day is today.

[3:29] Speed Racer, coming soon to the interview.

[3:30] It's so weird and silly.

[3:32] It's so weird and silly.
