The Flop House Movie Minute #5 - Moral Lessons

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

[0:09] So yeah, Dan, there was this one time when I went to go see Arachnophobia at the movie

[0:16] theater.

[0:17] I don't know if you remember that, Arachnophobia.

[0:18] It was a movie with Julian Sands in it.

[0:20] Sure, I think it was like a Thrill-O-Medy or something.

[0:21] John Goodman was in it.

[0:22] John Goodman was in it, that's true.

[0:24] So I was in the movie theater with my mom and a bunch of friends.

[0:27] I don't remember how old I was, kind of young.

[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, like the people I was

[0:40] with, started getting up and 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, because we were all fucking creeped out because

[0:50] we kept thinking 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.

[0:56] And the movie was, meh, not that great.

[1:00] So that was my, when I went to go see Arachnophobia.

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

[1:05] Um, uh, wait, uh, wait, wait, um, wait, uh, Julian Sands is in that movie.

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

[1:18] That's not a moral, that's a fact about Arachnophobia.

[1:21] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, um, wait.

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

[1:27] That's not a moral, really.

[1:29] That's sort of a lesson you learned about yourself, but that's not something that can

[1:33] be applied by other people.

[1:35] Wait, okay, wait, um, if you're going to make a movie and you don't want people to get up

[1:41] and walk away, you shouldn't make it about creepy things in a dark movie theater.

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

[1:48] Well, that's like, that's advice.

[1:50] That's advice for, um.

[1:52] Aspiring filmmakers.

[1:54] Uh, uh, wait, wait, wait, uh, Dan, there was this one time when I went and saw Arachnophobia

[2:08] with my mom and a couple of friends, and uh, we got really creeped out by all the spiders,

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

[2:15] Wait a minute, they were watching spiders in the theater?

[2:17] Yeah, no.

[2:19] No, the movie Arachnophobia has a bunch of spiders.

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

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

[2:27] I assume they were serving food, like popcorn and things in the theater, but they covered in spiders?

[2:32] This has been.

[2:33] Another unreleasable movie minute.

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

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

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

[2:50] So long, Conker.

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

[2:58] I'm drunk. I'm drunk tonight.

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

[3:06] Somebody, Sarah, Sarah, turn on the radio.

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

[3:13] We're millionaires. Baby, start living right.

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

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

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

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