FH Mini #119 - '24 in Review with Stu

Elliott Kalan

[0:00] Hi, Floppers. Before we start this episode, I just wanted to remind you we are in the middle of FlopTV Season 2.

[0:06] That's right. The one-hour internet televised Flophouse TV show is here for you the first Saturday of every month through February.

[0:14] Just go to theflophouse.simpleticks.com and get your tickets or season pass for this all-new Flophouse TV stuff.

[0:22] We're covering movies we've never covered before. We've got video segments. It's amazing.

[0:27] Just go to theflophouse.simpleticks.com for FlopTV Season 2. This time, it's personal.

Stuart Wellington

[0:37] Hey! Hello, I'm Stuart Wellington, one of the hosts of the Flophouse Podcast, and I'm here to introduce and run the Flophouse Mini, a mini episode of the Flophouse Podcast.

[0:50] And I am joined, as always, by my two co-hosts who will introduce themselves now.

[0:55] Dan McCoy.

[0:57] Elliot Kalin.

[0:59] Now, on one of these mini episodes, instead of watching a bad movie and talking about it, we kind of do whatever we want.

[1:04] And today, oh boy, are we doing whatever.

[1:07] Because, in fact, today is a very special thing.

[1:10] We are doing 2024, the year in movies, the game.

[1:15] A special game that I'm going to be administering to my two co-hosts.

[1:21] I always like to have a game administered to me.

[1:23] Yeah.

[1:26] I mean, if you've played some of the board games that I like, it does kind of require a fair amount of administration.

[1:33] So, yeah.

[1:35] So, you guys are going to be playing for the chance to win big points and bragging rights over your fellow co-hosts.

[1:42] And maybe, if you're lucky, a $20 gift card to Blockbuster Video.

[1:50] It's expired.

[1:51] It's an expired gift card.

[1:53] Okay, great.

[1:54] Good.

[1:54] But, I mean, you might be able to get some value for it.

[1:57] I don't know what people like these days.

Elliott Kalan

[1:59] If I make it all the way up to that Blockbuster in Alaska, maybe they'll redeem it just for me taking the trouble.

Stuart Wellington

[2:04] They'll honor it.

[2:05] Yeah, they should.

[2:06] They should.

[2:07] Okay, so this is a game where...

[2:08] Especially if I bring Pitbull with me.

[2:10] Oh, Mr. Worldwide.

[2:13] Okay.

[2:14] So, today's game, which is, of course, as I said before, 2024, the year in movies, the game.

[2:21] There's going to be two rounds.

[2:23] In between each round, there will be a bonus round for a chance for you to win extra points.

[2:27] And whoever has the most points at the end is the winner.

[2:31] Big surprise, right?

[2:31] That's pretty straightforward.

[2:33] Okay.

[2:33] So, in round one, we are playing the name of the game is Who Am I?

[2:40] So, I'm going to be asking you questions.

[2:43] And I'm going to let you know whether this is the name of a movie that came out this year

[2:48] or the name of one of the actors in that movie.

[2:52] Okay?

[2:53] And then what do we say?

[2:55] So, I'm going to ask a question.

[2:57] You are going to raise your hand to buzz in.

[3:00] Okay.

[3:00] Okay?

[3:02] Now, the interesting thing about this category is that for each question, if you manage to get it right on the first question, you get three points.

[3:13] If you don't get it, the second question, you get two points.

[3:16] And if it's on the third question, you get only one point.

[3:19] Because it gets harder as it goes on.

[3:21] Okay?

[3:22] If you guess wrong, you cannot guess any more for this question.

[3:27] Does that make sense?

[3:28] Yes.

[3:29] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[3:30] Dan said yes with the same level of tentativeness that I'm feeling.

Stuart Wellington

[3:33] Okay.

[3:34] Well, let's figure this out.

[3:35] Okay.

[3:35] So, our first question under the Who Am I game.

[3:40] A sci-fi movie set in the desert.

[3:44] Elliot.

Elliott Kalan

[3:45] Dune Part 2.

[3:46] Was that this year?

[3:47] It was, but that is incorrect.

[3:50] It's actually incredibly correct based on the information you've given us.

Dan McCoy

[3:53] Yeah.

[3:54] I held back because I assumed this was some sort of fiendish trick.

Elliott Kalan

[3:57] I assumed it was a trick, but I think I could also make a good case that with the information

[4:01] we have right now, that's what it is.

[4:03] That's the way tricks work, Elliot.

[4:07] Okay.

[4:07] Dan, do you want another question?

[4:09] No, no.

[4:09] I want another question.

Stuart Wellington

[4:12] What?

[4:12] Clue number two?

[4:13] This is part of an existing franchise chronicling the rise of a beloved character.

[4:21] Oh, what's the trick here?

Dan McCoy

[4:22] I still don't feel like I have enough information at this point.

[4:27] Okay.

Stuart Wellington

[4:28] Clue number three, then.

[4:29] Uh-huh.

[4:30] You might say this movie is mad to the max.

Dan McCoy

[4:34] Oh, okay.

[4:35] This is Furiosa.

[4:37] You didn't buzz in, but I'll give it to you anyway.

[4:39] That's one more for Dan.

[4:40] I mean, Elliot can't talk anymore.

[4:42] I mean, he can talk.

[4:43] He can't gas anymore.

[4:44] I sure can.

Stuart Wellington

[4:46] Okay.

[4:46] So, we're off to a roaring start.

[4:48] Elliot has fallen into my ultimate trick.

[4:51] Oh, yeah.

[4:53] He really was the ultimate trick.

Elliott Kalan

[4:56] It doesn't get bigger than that.

Stuart Wellington

[4:58] Oh, okay.

Elliott Kalan

[5:00] Boy, am I going to feel foolish the rest of the day.

Stuart Wellington

[5:03] This is the name of an actor, okay?

[5:07] This actor was the lead in three theatrical releases this year in three different genres.

[5:19] Interesting.

Elliott Kalan

[5:21] It's probably not Dune Part 2 because that's a movie, not a person.

Stuart Wellington

[5:25] Anybody want to buzz in or should I give the next clue?

[5:28] Let's go to the next clue.

[5:30] Okay.

[5:31] He co-wrote the screenplay of one of them.

Dan McCoy

[5:35] Co-wrote the screenplay?

[5:37] Oh, my.

[5:43] This is going to be great radio because there's going to be a lot of us thinking quietly.

[5:46] Okay.

[5:46] I mean, I think I know it.

[5:47] I just don't remember his name.

Stuart Wellington

[5:48] Yeah.

[5:50] And then the third clue.

[5:52] This was the summer of him despite not being voted people's sexiest man.

[5:58] I'm going to...

[5:58] Elliot.

[5:59] It's Glenn something, right?

[6:01] Uh-oh.

Dan McCoy

[6:03] Glenn something, I guess he's accurate according to Elliot's rules.

[6:07] Technically correct.

[6:09] Glenn Powell.

Stuart Wellington

[6:10] Powell.

[6:10] Yeah.

[6:10] It's Glenn Powell.

[6:11] Glenn Powell.

[6:13] Yeah.

[6:13] Okay.

[6:14] Yeah.

[6:14] He co-wrote Hitman with Richard Linklater.

Elliott Kalan

[6:18] He is somehow everywhere and all over the place and being in lots of movies and I cannot

[6:23] remember his name often because it's just a pretty normal name, you know?

Stuart Wellington

[6:28] Yeah.

[6:29] Yeah.

[6:30] Pretty normal name.

[6:31] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[6:31] As opposed to like Timothee Chalamet where I'm like, well, I've never met anybody with

[6:34] that name.

Stuart Wellington

[6:35] Yeah.

[6:36] Yeah.

[6:36] Okay.

[6:37] Okay.

[6:37] The next one, you need to give me the name of the movie.

[6:40] This is a popular sequel, long awaited popular sequel to a classic movie.

Dan McCoy

[6:48] Long awaited popular sequel.

[6:50] That could be a couple different things.

[6:52] A classic movie.

[6:56] Yeah.

[6:57] I don't, I don't think we have enough information.

[6:58] Clue number two.

Stuart Wellington

[7:00] This movie has twists in it.

[7:08] But does it have Glenn Powell in it?

[7:08] It feels like a real misdirect.

[7:12] A lot of movies have twists.

[7:14] Third clue.

[7:16] The name of this movie is the name of one of the characters repeated.

[7:20] Okay.

[7:20] I'm going to raise my hand again.

[7:21] Elliot.

[7:22] I'm going to say Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

[7:24] You nailed it.

[7:25] You guys almost fell into my Twisters trap.

[7:28] Almost.

[7:29] Almost.

[7:29] Now guys, I don't see Twisters.

Dan McCoy

[7:30] I guess there is a twist in Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice now that I think about it.

[7:34] Yeah.

[7:34] I guess fair enough.

[7:36] Technically.

[7:36] At least one thing that could be called a twist.

Stuart Wellington

[7:39] Yeah.

[7:41] I didn't see Twisters.

[7:42] Does it feature a tornado that has like a man's head sticking out of it?

[7:46] Like that X-Men character?

[7:48] What's that guy?

[7:48] Is that Rick Tide?

[7:49] One of the Marauders?

[7:50] Elliot?

[7:50] What's that guy's fucking deal?

Elliott Kalan

[7:53] What is his name?

[7:54] I can't remember.

[7:55] It might be something like Whirlpool or something like that.

[7:57] Is it Lyspice?

[7:58] Or Charybdis or something?

Dan McCoy

[8:00] No, no.

[8:00] It's not that.

[8:01] Despite my 4DX screening of Twisters being disrupted by a weird family having some argument

[8:11] with another weird family for the first half of the movie, I think I'm pretty confident

[8:15] in saying that that does not happen in Twisters.

[8:18] Okay.

[8:18] I don't know.

[8:19] We'll have to ask Paul Schrader, number one Twisters fan.

[8:21] No, he's seen it.

[8:22] Number one Twisters fan.

[8:23] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[8:24] I think that was Riptide, the one that could spin around.

[8:27] I thought so too.

[8:28] Okay.

[8:29] This next title, Riptide, the man who could spin around.

[8:33] Sorry.

[8:33] Yeah.

[8:34] Real name Janos Quested, according to Wikipedia.

[8:38] Come on.

[8:39] Sounds like a normal name.

Stuart Wellington

[8:41] Yeah.

[8:41] Normal name.

[8:42] The thing is, it's not that everybody can spin around, but the thing about him is that

[8:46] his body spins around and his head stays stable.

[8:48] And he spins around very fast.

[8:50] He spins around very fast.

[8:51] I can spin pretty fast.

[8:55] Okay.

[8:56] Okay.

[8:57] This next one is, you got to give me the name of the actor.

[9:02] The lead in the third movie in a popular superhero franchise.

[9:08] Okay.

[9:09] Popular superhero franchise.

Elliott Kalan

[9:11] There was a time when that would have narrowed it down quite a bit more.

Dan McCoy

[9:15] Well, I mean, it does.

[9:16] It is.

[9:17] Wait, hold on.

[9:18] What was the question again?

Stuart Wellington

[9:20] The lead in the third movie of a popular superhero franchise.

Dan McCoy

[9:24] I'm going to buzz in just because I feel like there actually haven't been that many superhero

[9:28] movies recently compared to a year or two ago.

[9:32] I'm going to say Tom Hardy.

[9:33] Are we talking about Tom Hardy?

Stuart Wellington

[9:34] You fucking nailed it.

[9:36] Hell yeah.

[9:36] That's three points for Dan.

[9:37] The other clues were, in these movies, he has a pretty funny accent.

[9:44] True.

[9:45] And then the final clue has a chance to go three for three in the flop house with these

[9:50] movies.

[9:50] I think it'll probably happen.

[9:52] Good luck.

[9:53] Okay.

[9:53] We're all counting on him.

[9:54] Okay.

[9:55] Good luck to Tom Hardy.

[9:56] Good luck to Tom Hardy.

Elliott Kalan

[9:58] Yeah.

[9:58] All our best wishes to go to Tom on achieving that goal.

Stuart Wellington

[10:01] This one, you guys have to, you guys got to give me the name of the movie.

[10:05] Okay.

[10:07] Tom Hardy.

[10:08] Unlikely, unlikely, unlikely friends team up to save the universe.

Dan McCoy

[10:16] Yeah.

[10:17] Hard one.

[10:18] Second, I'm wondering about the definition of friends.

Stuart Wellington

[10:22] Yeah.

[10:23] The opening credits feature the song Bye Bye Bye.

Elliott Kalan

[10:27] Oh, I'll raise my hand for that one.

[10:29] Elliot.

[10:30] Yeah.

[10:30] That's Deadpool Wolverine, right?

[10:33] That is Deadpool and Wolverine.

[10:35] Still haven't seen it yet, but I heard all about the hilarious opening credits.

[10:39] Where what, he's dancing or something?

S5

[10:40] Can you believe that?

Stuart Wellington

[10:42] Can you believe it?

[10:43] My least favorite part of the movie.

[10:45] Not as good as the opening of a, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[10:46] Especially when you're like, hey, if you're going to do kind of the same, if you're going

[10:50] to use this song just like Red Rocket did, you should be as good as Red Rocket, which

[10:54] it's not.

[10:55] Okay.

[10:55] Red Rocket is the movie based on the DC character Red Rocket, right?

Elliott Kalan

[10:58] Like the Soviet guy in the armor.

Stuart Wellington

[11:00] Elliot, you should watch it.

[11:01] Let me know what you think.

[11:02] Okay.

[11:03] So the next is you're going to have to give me the name of the actor.

[11:07] Okay?

[11:07] Okay.

[11:08] Actual.

[11:10] Before starring in a movie this year, she had not starred in a film in four years.

[11:17] Oh.

[11:18] Hmm.

Dan McCoy

[11:19] That's an interesting clue, but I don't have an answer for you.

Stuart Wellington

[11:24] Yeah, no, me either.

[11:28] While attending press events for this film, for the film she's in, she brought along her

[11:34] micro chihuahua, Pilaf.

[11:37] I feel like I'm farther from knowing it now.

[11:39] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[11:40] Like, it sounds familiar, but I cannot connect it with anything.

[11:44] Final clue.

Stuart Wellington

[11:46] Despite her first name, she plays the bigger version or the Matrix in this movie.

[11:55] Dan.

[11:56] Dan.

Dan McCoy

[11:57] I'm just guessing based on the name thing.

[12:00] Is it Minnie Driver?

Stuart Wellington

[12:01] That's actually pretty good, but it's not.

Elliott Kalan

[12:03] Okay.

[12:04] Elliot, do you want a final buzz?

[12:06] I also was thinking it was Minnie something.

[12:09] So, not the – is there anyone named Small?

[12:12] Anyone named Small who makes movies these days?

[12:14] Tiny?

[12:14] Is there a tiny lady?

[12:15] Yeah.

[12:15] Or Lil?

[12:16] Tiny Tina?

[12:17] Like, from Borderlands?

[12:18] From Borderlands?

[12:20] Okay.

[12:20] So, wait.

[12:21] So, she's –

[12:21] Did I make the clues too hard?

[12:24] Possibly.

[12:24] She had starred in a movie in four years.

Stuart Wellington

[12:27] She brought – oh, Demi Moore.

Elliott Kalan

[12:28] Thank you.

[12:29] Ah, yes.

[12:30] Boom.

[12:31] Crushed it.

Stuart Wellington

[12:32] That's what it was.

[12:33] Good job.

[12:34] Good job, Elliot.

[12:35] Extra points for you.

[12:36] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[12:36] You know what was the clue that got it to me?

[12:37] It was the dog.

[12:38] That's the one.

[12:38] That's – I knew the breed and name of her dog.

[12:41] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[12:44] Okay.

[12:45] So, the next is you're going to have to give me the name of the movie.

[12:48] The majority of this movie takes place in Australia.

[12:53] Okay.

[12:55] Okay.

Dan McCoy

[12:56] Okay.

[12:56] So, it could be any number of Australian movies.

[12:59] Yeah.

[12:59] Or movies.

[12:59] That's true.

[13:00] Just about Australia.

[13:01] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[13:04] There is a karaoke scene of the song Against All Odds by Phil Collins.

[13:08] Hmm.

[13:09] I got you.

[13:10] Dan.

[13:10] This is the fall guy.

[13:12] You nailed it, Dan.

[13:14] Oh, good job.

[13:15] It's neck and neck here, folks.

[13:17] The final clue should have been a hit.

[13:20] Yeah.

[13:21] I really like that movie.

[13:22] Oh, okay.

[13:24] Let's see.

[13:25] Oh, man.

[13:25] We're wrapping up here.

[13:26] Okay.

[13:27] Next.

[13:27] This is a movie.

[13:29] You're going to have to give me the name of a movie.

[13:30] Okay.

[13:32] Lots of scenes on a cranberry farm.

[13:38] Dan.

Dan McCoy

[13:39] This is my old ass.

[13:41] It is my old ass.

[13:43] Okay.

[13:44] One of the most cranberry farm-centered movies you can see.

[13:46] Oh, is that a movie?

Stuart Wellington

[13:47] I kept thinking it was a TV show.

[13:48] I haven't seen it yet.

[13:49] That's a movie.

[13:50] The other clues.

[13:52] The only.

[13:53] The clues are.

[13:54] It dispels the time travel rules established in the movie Time Cop.

[13:59] Okay.

[14:00] So there's less splits?

[14:02] What was that, Elliot?

[14:03] There's fewer splits in this movie than in Time Cop?

[14:06] You would be surprised.

[14:08] Finally, Aubrey Plaza's character is referred to as having an old ass.

[14:13] Despite only being 39, I take offense at that.

[14:17] Okay.

[14:18] The next is we got another movie.

[14:22] This is a thriller where the villain is an elder scammer.

Elliott Kalan

[14:28] The villain scams elderly people or is an elderly person who scams?

Dan McCoy

[14:33] I feel like there are two possibilities for this, honestly.

[14:36] So I'm just going to.

[14:37] I guess we're going to need another clue.

Elliott Kalan

[14:38] Dan almost fell into my trap.

[14:40] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[14:43] Malcolm McDowell, Parker Posey, and Richard Roundtree are in sporting roles.

Dan McCoy

[14:48] Okay.

[14:48] I'm going to guess for this one.

[14:50] Dan.

[14:51] Thelma.

[14:52] You are correct.

Stuart Wellington

[14:53] It could have been the beekeeper.

[14:54] It almost was the beekeeper.

Dan McCoy

[14:56] It could have been the beekeeper.

[14:57] It could have been Felicia Rashad being scammed, but instead it was June Squibb.

[15:01] I haven't seen Thelma yet.

[15:03] I hear only good things.

[15:04] It's fun.

Elliott Kalan

[15:05] This is the prequel to Thelma and Louise.

[15:07] It's about before she meets Louise.

[15:09] Yeah.

[15:09] This is a long later sequel to Thelma and Louise.

[15:13] Yeah.

[15:14] She actually survived at the end.

[15:15] Oh, wow.

[15:16] That's a big retcon.

[15:18] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[15:19] Yeah.

[15:20] I mean, it's all covered in a montage in the opening credits where she fashions a parachute

[15:26] out of a t-shirt or something.

[15:28] A halter top or something.

[15:29] Yeah.

[15:29] Okay.

[15:30] Okay.

[15:31] Here's our final question for this category before our bonus round.

[15:35] Okay.

[15:36] You got to give me the name of-

[15:37] The final question is the final question, but then there's another one.

[15:39] Yeah.

[15:40] This is the-

[15:40] You got to give me the name of the actor, okay?

[15:45] Hmm.

[15:46] Uh, despite being pivotal to the movie, he only has 10 minutes of screen time.

[15:52] Hmm.

Dan McCoy

[15:53] Only 10 minutes of screen time.

[15:56] Um.

[15:58] Okay.

[15:59] Number two.

[16:01] Mm-hmm.

Stuart Wellington

[16:02] He is under heavy prosthetics the whole movie.

Dan McCoy

[16:06] Under heavy prosthetics.

[16:09] Oh, um.

[16:11] It's not TV's The Penguin, because that was on TV.

[16:14] No, because that's on TV.

[16:16] I mean, it's not TV.

[16:17] It's HBO.

Stuart Wellington

[16:18] Elliot, give me this.

Elliott Kalan

[16:20] Is it, uh, Stellan Skarsgård?

[16:23] Or whatever.

[16:23] No.

[16:24] How do you pronounce his name?

Stuart Wellington

[16:25] I'm sorry.

[16:26] It's not Stellan Skarsgård.

[16:27] Finally.

Elliott Kalan

[16:28] I was thinking this was finally the Dune question that I've been wondering all this time.

Stuart Wellington

[16:32] Oh, that would have been a good one.

[16:33] That would have been a good one.

[16:34] Technically correct, but not the final question.

[16:36] Not until clue number three.

[16:37] The final clue will clear it up is long legs.

Dan McCoy

[16:41] Oh, okay.

[16:43] Uh.

Elliott Kalan

[16:44] This is, uh.

[16:45] I just gotta.

[16:46] Nicholas Cage.

[16:47] I just gotta remember to always wait for the last clue.

[16:49] That's the.

Stuart Wellington

[16:51] It is Nicholas Cage.

[16:53] He's long legs.

[16:54] Okay.

[16:55] So now, the bonus.

[16:56] Here's the bonus round.

[16:57] This is where things are gonna get a little bit closer.

[16:59] Because I'm gonna start.

Elliott Kalan

[17:00] I kind of feel like it really, yeah.

[17:01] That was a real trick.

[17:02] Especially considering the third clue would mention the name of the movie in it.

[17:05] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[17:07] Okay.

[17:07] So this next, the bonus round.

[17:11] Elliot, you're gonna, it's gonna start with you.

[17:13] And then you're gonna have two minutes to name as many feature films released by film fan darlings A24.

[17:25] So you're gonna list as many.

[17:27] For each one you name, you get a point.

[17:30] And then after your two minutes is up, Dan will get to try and name as many ones as you missed.

[17:35] And, uh, that's it.

[17:36] That's this year?

Elliott Kalan

[17:38] That's this year.

[17:39] Yeah, okay.

[17:41] I'm just gonna, I'm gonna.

[17:42] This is not the year.

[17:43] Give me one second.

[17:43] I'll, I'll.

[17:44] This is not gonna be your category?

[17:46] I mean, this is not the year to ask me what movies came out when from anybody.

[17:50] So I think I'm probably gonna end up with zero points.

Stuart Wellington

[17:53] That's the challenge of the game of 2024, the year in movies.

[17:57] Did they, uh.

[17:58] Guilty because I know how few things I like to use.

[17:59] No, it's true.

[17:59] I knew what I was getting into.

Elliott Kalan

[18:00] I knew what I was getting into when I applied for this game, Stuart, knowing the name of it ahead of time.

[18:04] And saying, no, I want to do that.

Stuart Wellington

[18:06] Yeah.

[18:07] Even, even knowing that you were not going to be good at this, you're like, I just want to be on TV.

[18:11] And unfortunately, you're on a podcast.

[18:14] Um, okay.

[18:15] So I'm going to hit start and then Elliot, you just start naming shit.

[18:19] Okay.

[18:20] Go.

Elliott Kalan

[18:21] Uh, The Substance.

[18:22] Uh, Challengers.

[18:23] No.

[18:35] No.

[18:35] Um, what's, uh, let's see.

[18:36] Um, uh, what other movies came out this year?

[19:16] Nope.

[19:17] Uh, Baby's Day Out.

[19:18] Baby's Day Out 2.

[19:19] Baby Goes Back In.

[19:20] Nope.

[19:20] Close.

[19:21] You're actually pretty close on some of these.

[19:23] Uh, Seven Samurai.

[19:24] Seven Samurai Part 2.

[19:25] There's more samurai.

[19:26] No.

[19:26] It's actually eight Samurai.

[19:27] Uh, 101 Dalmatians.

[19:30] 101, uh, Sensations.

[19:32] Nope.

[19:34] Uh, and, uh, Lightning.

[19:36] The movie.

[19:37] Uh, Twisters.

[19:41] Nope.

[19:42] Let's see.

[19:43] Um, um, uh, Love Lives Bleeding.

[19:47] Wait, you got one.

[19:48] You got one.

[19:48] Love Lives Eating.

[19:50] Uh, my, my, my dinner with Andre.

[19:52] Uh, uh, they, and, uh, I'm not, and I think that's it.

[19:55] I've got all of them, right?

[19:57] I mean, you got, you got one.

Stuart Wellington

[19:59] I got one.

[19:59] Oh, thank goodness.

[20:00] Okay.

[20:00] So that is, uh, Elliot's tapping out.

[20:02] Elliot got a point.

[20:04] Dan.

[20:05] Uh, one second.

[20:06] The clock starts now.

Dan McCoy

[20:09] They do Cuckoo?

[20:11] No.

[20:11] Uh, I, okay.

[20:13] I saw the TV glow.

[20:14] Was that them?

[20:15] Yep.

[20:16] Um, let's see.

[20:17] Long Legs.

[20:18] The formation Long Legs.

[20:20] No.

[20:21] Uh, two.

[20:23] Uh, Y, uh, Y2K.

[20:24] They did, they did that.

[20:26] Um, oof.

[20:29] Now I'm, now I'm having trouble.

[20:32] Uh, what all happened this year?

[20:35] Let's see.

[20:36] Well, there's some terrible national decisions that were made.

[20:41] Mm-hmm.

[20:41] Uh, mm-hmm.

[20:43] By 824?

[20:45] Yeah.

[20:45] Arguably, yeah.

[20:47] Um.

[20:48] You got, you got about a minute left, Dan.

[20:50] So they do a lot of horror genre films.

[20:54] Generally art house-y.

[20:56] Yeah, exactly.

[20:57] Now, you gotta give.

[20:58] Did they do an aura or was that neon?

[21:00] That was neon.

Elliott Kalan

[21:02] Okay.

[21:02] You gotta give me credit.

[21:03] I said, I named fewer 824 movies than Dan, but I named more movies than Dan.

[21:07] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[21:07] Well, I mean, you should get points for that.

Dan McCoy

[21:10] Yeah.

[21:10] I feel like I might actually know these is the thing.

[21:13] So that's why I'm, but I'm having trouble.

[21:18] Um, what else did I see?

Stuart Wellington

[21:23] Many of these were big movies and by big movies, movies that play in movie theaters, not necessarily

[21:29] big movies.

Dan McCoy

[21:31] Uh, did they do challengers or was that neon too?

Stuart Wellington

[21:34] That was neat.

Dan McCoy

[21:34] I don't even, I think that was, uh, one of the bigger studios.

[21:38] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[21:39] Yeah.

[21:39] I think that was, uh, that was probably Disney.

[21:41] But, but there was a movie that is, let's say related.

[21:46] Queer?

[21:47] Yes.

[21:48] Boom.

[21:49] Okay.

[21:50] Man, that's three of these for Dan.

[21:51] Killing it.

[21:53] You're going to tap out.

[21:54] Okay.

[21:55] Let's call it.

[21:56] Okay.

[21:57] You know what?

Elliott Kalan

[21:57] Dan didn't beat me by as much as I thought he would.

Stuart Wellington

[22:00] I'm actually kind of surprised.

[22:02] So we got movies like Baby Girl, Heretic, The Brutalist, We Live in Time, Front Room,

[22:08] Parthenope, A Different Man, I'm Becoming a Guinea Fowl, Civil War, Maxine, Look Into My Eyes,

[22:17] The Sixth, and Architecton.

[22:20] Okay.

[22:20] So.

[22:20] They released a lot of movies this year.

[22:22] Yeah, that was a lot of movies.

[22:23] Um, uh, 17.

[22:25] Um, so at the end of the first round and the bonus round, we have Dan McCoy at 15 points,

[22:30] Elliot at six points.

[22:31] Time for a break.

[22:33] Hmm.

[22:34] Hey, so we have a Jumbotron here.

[22:37] Elliot, can you give us the classic Jumbotron sound effect?

Elliott Kalan

[22:39] Okay.

[22:40] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[22:40] So this is a Jumbotron for Chelsea, AKA Chumwa.

[22:44] Jumbotron.

[22:45] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[22:45] So this is a Jumbotron for Chelsea, AKA Chumwats.

Stuart Wellington

[23:10] And this is from your brother, Kyle.

[23:12] Happy birthday to the best sister I can imagine having.

[23:16] You're a brilliant nuclear scientist, exciting overseas adventurer, and the one person in our

[23:22] family who I get to text in excitement when a new Flophouse episode drops.

[23:27] Hoping Stuart can give you some words of encouragement in German for when you run the Vienna Marathon

[23:32] next year.

[23:34] And Stuart Wellington, of course, is going to say,

[23:36] Ah, grüß dich, Chelsea.

[23:38] Ich heiße Stuart, und ich kann nur ein kleines bisschen Deutsch sprechen und verstehen.

[23:43] Aber I hope you have the best time on this Wien Marathon, and that you run super fast,

[23:49] and that you to have many pretzels und beer to drink, and etwas anders.

Dan McCoy

[23:57] Ja, ausgeseichnet.

[23:59] Tschüss.

[24:00] So that was it.

Stuart Wellington

[24:02] Wonderful, as they say in Germany.

[24:05] Well, technically Austria, but that's the same thing.

[24:08] Okay, not the same thing.

[24:09] Sorry, I don't want to get Germans mad at me again.

[24:14] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[24:15] I love that English with a German accent is just as good as speaking German.

[24:20] It's pretty much the same thing.

[24:21] Yeah.

Justin McElroy

[24:27] Hey, Sydney, you're a physician and the co-host of Sawbones, a marital tour of misguided medicine, right?

[24:31] That's true, Justin.

[24:32] Is it true that our medical history podcast is just as good as a visit to your primary care physician?

S5

[24:38] No, Justin, that is absolutely not true.

[24:40] However, our podcast is funny and interesting and a great way to learn about the medical misdeeds of the past,

[24:46] as well as some current not-so-legit healthcare fads.

Justin McElroy

[24:50] So you're saying that by listening to our podcast, people will feel better?

[24:53] Sure.

[24:53] And isn't that the same reason that you go to the doctor?

S5

[24:56] Well, you could say that, but-

Justin McElroy

[24:58] And our podcast is free?

[24:59] Yes, it is free.

[25:01] You heard it here first, folks.

[25:02] Sawbones, marital tour of misguided medicine, right here on Maximum Fun, just as good as going to the doctor.

S5

[25:07] No, no, no.

[25:08] Still not just as good as going to the doctor, but pretty good.

[25:11] It's up there.

Justin McElroy

[25:12] You can't really know if your own show is any good.

[25:15] So I asked my kids about ours.

[25:17] Is Jordan Jesse Goh a good show?

[25:19] No, definitely not.

[25:20] It's really bad.

[25:22] I would say out of 10, maybe like a 4 out of 10.

[25:27] It's just really boring.

[25:29] Yeah, zero.

[25:31] Subscribe to Jordan Jesse Goh, a comedy show for grown-ups.

Dan McCoy

[25:36] And also, just a quick mention that as of this episode, tickets are probably still available to see us live and in person in San Francisco as part of SketchFest.

[25:46] Tickets at sfsketchfest.com.

[25:49] We'll be at Cobb's Comedy Club on Sunday, January 19 at 7 p.m.

[25:56] with some all-new presentations from at least two-thirds of us.

[26:01] Elliot might retool an old one that you probably haven't seen anyway.

[26:05] And a discussion of legendary flop Cutthroat Island, directed by Rennie Harlan and starring Gina Davis and Matthew Modine.

[26:14] The movie that, according to Wikipedia, lost $147 million when adjusted for inflation.

[26:22] So again, tickets for that at sfsketchfest.com.

Stuart Wellington

[26:28] So we are playing 2024, the year in movies, the game.

[26:33] I'm your host, Stuart Wellington, and I'm joined by my two co-hosts.

[26:37] Introduce yourselves.

[26:39] Dan McCoy.

[26:40] And Elliot Kalin in the lead.

[26:42] Sure, why not?

[26:43] So we have one more full round to go, and then there's going to be an extra bonus round where scores can get a little bit closer maybe.

[26:52] We'll find out.

[26:54] So this next round, which is – this is going to be – based on the results so far, I think it's going to be pretty good.

[27:01] We are playing a game called Name That Streamer.

[27:04] I will name a movie, and you are going to tell me what streaming service released this movie or had a hand in the production.

[27:14] Yeah.

[27:14] Okay?

[27:15] You only get one guess.

[27:16] And again, I will list the movie.

[27:18] You will have to buzz in by raising your hand.

[27:20] I sure hope a lot of the answers are canopy.

[27:22] You will go through this whole thing.

[27:24] Yeah.

[27:26] And you – and each one is going to be worth two points.

[27:31] Okay?

[27:32] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[27:32] Points are in a way doubled this round.

[27:35] Okay.

[27:36] So –

[27:36] In a very literal way.

[27:38] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[27:38] Well –

[27:39] Okay.

[27:41] So our first feature film, Rebel Ridge.

Dan McCoy

[27:47] Oh, Dan first.

[27:48] Dan first.

[27:49] That's a Netflix.

Stuart Wellington

[27:54] That's what my parents call all movies on streaming.

Elliott Kalan

[27:58] When Rebel Moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie.

[28:02] Yeah.

[28:02] Okay.

Stuart Wellington

[28:04] Ricky Stanicki.

Elliott Kalan

[28:07] Elliot.

[28:08] Was that a peacock?

[28:10] Unfortunately, no.

[28:11] But good guess.

[28:12] Dan.

Dan McCoy

[28:13] Amazon.

[28:14] Prime.

[28:15] Prime video.

[28:16] You are correct.

[28:17] It is prime video.

Elliott Kalan

[28:18] I don't know.

[28:18] Dan answered like three different answers there.

[28:20] I don't know if we can give him credit for that.

Stuart Wellington

[28:22] Okay.

[28:24] Salem's Lot.

Dan McCoy

[28:26] Lots of Salem's.

[28:28] Dan.

[28:28] I believe that's a max.

Stuart Wellington

[28:31] That is a max.

[28:33] Dan, you watch a lot of movies.

Dan McCoy

[28:35] I didn't see that one.

[28:36] I heard it was bad.

[28:37] But I remember where people were saying it was bad.

[28:39] I like bits of it.

[28:40] I like bits of it.

[28:41] Okay.

Stuart Wellington

[28:42] But you like Salem's Little basically is what you're saying.

[28:44] Yeah.

[28:45] Yeah.

[28:46] I like enough.

[28:47] You know.

[28:49] The Killer.

[28:51] The Killer.

[28:52] Okay.

[28:52] This is John Woo's remake of his own movie.

[28:54] Elliot.

Elliott Kalan

[28:55] Oh, never mind.

[28:56] I thought it was a different one.

[28:57] John Woo's.

[28:58] You were thinking of the.

Stuart Wellington

[28:59] No, you're thinking of the killer.

Elliott Kalan

[29:01] Yeah, the Fincher.

[29:02] I was thinking about the David Fincher, the killer.

[29:04] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[29:05] No, this is John Woo's remake of his own movie starring Natalie Emmanuel and the guy from

[29:11] those Pandora movies.

[29:16] Yeah.

[29:17] Was this Paramount Plus?

[29:20] Incorrect, Dan.

[29:20] I'm sorry.

[29:21] Elliot.

[29:22] It was the other one.

[29:23] Chance of Steel.

Elliott Kalan

[29:24] I mean, I might as well guess something.

[29:26] Let's say Hulu.

[29:27] Is it Hulu?

Stuart Wellington

[29:29] It was Peacock.

[29:30] One of Peacock's only original movies this year.

Dan McCoy

[29:34] Okay.

[29:34] I knew it was associated with a network, but I picked the wrong one.

[29:37] I didn't even know that.

Stuart Wellington

[29:39] The idea of you.

Dan McCoy

[29:46] I'm just going to guess.

[29:47] This sounds like an Apple TV Plus to me.

[29:54] It does sound like that, but it's not.

[29:57] Okay.

Stuart Wellington

[29:57] Elliot.

[30:00] Show me to me.

[30:02] No.

[30:03] This is an Amazon Prime.

[30:06] But once again, good guess.

[30:08] Okay.

[30:09] Let's see.

[30:10] We got Good Grief starring Dan Levy or Levy.

[30:16] Good Grief.

[30:17] Yeah, that thing.

Elliott Kalan

[30:18] I don't know what that is.

Stuart Wellington

[30:21] Jeez.

[30:22] I'm going to guess.

[30:23] Okay, Dan.

[30:24] Guess.

[30:25] Netflix.

[30:26] Dan, it is in fact a Netflix.

[30:29] Yeah.

[30:31] Okay, guys.

[30:32] Uh-huh.

[30:32] Beverly Hills Cop, Axel F.

[30:37] That.

[30:38] Dan.

Dan McCoy

[30:39] That, I believe, is also in Netflix.

Stuart Wellington

[30:41] Man, Dan's all over Netflix.

[30:43] What are you, getting money from Netflix?

[30:46] Well, you did the game.

Elliott Kalan

[30:49] Yep.

[30:50] He's getting money from Netflix.

[30:52] Yep.

Stuart Wellington

[30:53] In a Violent Nature, made by Friends of the Pod.

[30:56] In a Violent Nature.

[30:59] Roku Channel.

Dan McCoy

[31:02] Nope, Dan.

[31:03] I feel bad for buzzing in so much, but I'm pretty sure that's Shudder.

[31:07] That's a Shudder production.

Stuart Wellington

[31:09] You gotta be into it.

[31:10] Dan knows it.

[31:11] You know it.

[31:11] It's a Shudder production.

[31:12] Dan knows what is available and how to get it.

[31:14] Yeah.

[31:15] Irish Wish, starring Lindsay Lohan.

[31:21] Damn.

Dan McCoy

[31:22] Yeah.

[31:22] Netflix?

[31:25] Get off Netflix's dick, dude.

[31:27] What's going on?

[31:28] The thing about winning this game is it makes me feel worse than if I was losing this game.

[31:32] Like, Elliot, it has your self-respect.

[31:34] Yeah.

[31:35] And all I have is this.

Stuart Wellington

[31:40] Oh, I made a good game.

[31:44] Guys, Smile 2.

[31:47] Oh, that wasn't a theatrical release?

[31:48] It was a theatrical release, but it was a partnership with one of the streamers.

Elliott Kalan

[31:59] IMDB TV.

Stuart Wellington

[32:03] Dan, do you have a follow-up?

[32:05] If it's a partnership, I'm just gonna guess Amazon.

Elliott Kalan

[32:09] Unfortunately, it was Paramount Plus.

[32:11] Oh, that's the Paramount Plus.

[32:13] I mean, Paramount makes movies.

[32:16] It's a movie studio.

[32:17] Are they just called Paramount Plus now?

Stuart Wellington

[32:19] Well, I believe the original Smile was a Paramount Plus original, and then this was like a combo thing.

[32:24] Oh, I see.

[32:25] Okay.

[32:27] We got a movie called Jackpot.

[32:30] Oh.

[32:31] Oh, no.

[32:31] Wait.

Elliott Kalan

[32:32] Wait.

[32:32] Was that Apple Plus?

[32:33] Apple TV Plus?

[32:34] It is not.

Stuart Wellington

[32:35] You're so close.

Elliott Kalan

[32:36] I'm thinking of Luck or whatever it's called.

[32:39] Or, you know.

[32:40] Yes.

[32:41] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[32:41] Yeah.

[32:42] Man, I even watched this one.

[32:44] I can't even remember what it's, what was on.

Stuart Wellington

[32:46] There was a, in a way, there was a clue with one of my earlier questions.

Dan McCoy

[32:51] In a way, there was a clue with one of your.

Stuart Wellington

[32:54] One of the stars was also in a, clearly under contract of some flavor.

[32:58] I'm going to say, is it Hulu?

[33:01] Nope.

[33:01] This is Amazon Prime, because it's, I'm guessing John Cena has some kind of connection or some

[33:07] development deal with him.

[33:07] Which one is, which one was Jackpot?

Elliott Kalan

[33:10] Is it an action movie or not an action movie?

Stuart Wellington

[33:12] That is, it's the action comedy with Awkwafina, where she wins the lottery, but she has to

[33:17] stay alive for 24 hours.

[33:20] Oh.

[33:20] Everything you told me rings no bells.

[33:22] Paul Feig.

[33:23] I don't think I've heard of the movie.

[33:25] You may have heard of Paul Feig.

[33:26] He was in Ski Patrol.

[33:29] Oh, right.

[33:30] Okay.

[33:30] Paul Feig.

[33:30] Yeah.

[33:31] The one who dresses fancy.

[33:34] Yeah.

[33:34] I got a movie called Winona Earp Vengeance.

[33:40] Netflix.

[33:41] No.

Elliott Kalan

[33:43] I thought I'd beat Dan to that one.

Dan McCoy

[33:45] I'm going to guess this is a, I'm going to guess this is a movie that you made up.

[33:49] It doesn't actually exist.

Stuart Wellington

[33:52] The thing is, this streaming service has a catalog that is filled with movies that sound

[33:56] like that, because it's Tubi.

[33:59] Oh, that was Tubi.

[34:01] Tubi original Winona Earp Vengeance.

[34:03] Okay.

[34:05] We got a movie called Brats.

[34:10] Brats.

[34:11] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dan McCoy

[34:12] I got this.

[34:13] This is Hulu.

[34:14] This is that documentary.

[34:16] It is.

Stuart Wellington

[34:17] I was trying to throw you off.

[34:18] I was doing one of my classic tricks.

[34:21] But yes, this is, this is what Andrew McCarthy's documentary about.

[34:26] Yeah.

[34:26] Oh, I see.

[34:28] Where he is.

[34:28] Not about the hit dolls.

[34:30] Yeah.

[34:31] I think actually there's a post-credit scene where he is talking about the dolls, but you know, it's only a small part.

[34:37] Like they invented the word brat and he's like, oh, look, now he's making these dolls after me.

Dan McCoy

[34:41] Yeah.

[34:42] Okay.

[34:42] And a bunch of brats at the grocery store.

[34:45] It's like, look.

[34:47] Look at this, made some broth.

Stuart Wellington

[34:48] And they're like, this is what kind of stuff.

[34:48] I don't make any money off of these brats.

[34:53] It's because he's charging too much.

[34:55] Yeah.

[34:56] If he charges less than like, you know, he's just not selling enough.

[35:00] If he individually signs and numbers every brat, that's why he charges so much.

[35:04] Yeah.

[35:05] I mean, I guess that makes sense, but I don't know.

[35:07] That seems nuts.

[35:08] Okay.

[35:09] And our final one is.

Elliott Kalan

[35:10] It doesn't sell nuts.

[35:10] He sells brats.

[35:11] Although maybe if he sold nuts with the brats.

[35:14] Oh, interesting.

[35:15] Okay.

Stuart Wellington

[35:17] Kind of mash it up into a pesto or something.

[35:20] Okay.

[35:20] So we have, okay.

[35:22] Or, or like a butter, like a nut butter.

[35:24] You guys like nut butters, right?

[35:26] Yeah.

[35:26] Dan's nuts for nut butters.

Dan McCoy

[35:29] Sounds dirty.

[35:30] I don't want to get into this.

Stuart Wellington

[35:32] Okay.

[35:32] That's weird.

[35:33] Okay.

[35:34] And the final movie is a movie that I watched while I was in Australia.

[35:38] Oh, okay.

[35:40] This is a movie called Players starring Gina Rodriguez and I think Damon Wayans Jr.

[35:47] Oh.

Dan McCoy

[35:48] I don't know this at all.

Elliott Kalan

[35:53] I'm going to say.

[35:54] Oh, no.

[35:55] Dan.

[35:56] What do you think?

Dan McCoy

[35:56] No, I don't have a.

[35:57] I was like, what does it sound like it's on?

[35:59] I can't think of.

[36:01] That's.

Stuart Wellington

[36:02] What does it sound like?

[36:03] Context clues from the, what a movie called Players starring Damon Wayans Jr.

[36:08] And Gina Rodriguez.

Elliott Kalan

[36:10] I know it.

[36:11] I'm going to say Brit Box.

Stuart Wellington

[36:13] Nope.

[36:14] It's not Corn Cob TV either, Dan.

[36:16] So don't guess that.

[36:20] Were you thinking of Acorn?

[36:22] I was like, I was going to say Acorn TV.

Dan McCoy

[36:25] I was like, oh, maybe that is what Stuart thinks Acorn TV is.

[36:27] It's Corn Cob TV.

[36:29] It's like the Hee Haw channel.

[36:31] I'm going to say, is it Hulu?

Stuart Wellington

[36:33] We haven't had a Hulu.

[36:34] This is Netflix.

[36:35] This is Netflix.

[36:35] You're fucking boys.

[36:37] I know you're trying to throw us off the trail, Dan, but we know you.

[36:40] We know you're a Netflix boy.

[36:41] Okay.

[36:42] So not your strongest round.

[36:44] But guys, I think everything's about to change.

[36:47] Okay.

[36:48] This is where Elliot gets to go first.

[36:51] Again, Elliot's going to have two minutes.

[36:53] You have two minutes to name as many films that we covered on main episodes and live episodes

[37:02] of the Flophouse podcast this year.

[37:05] Oh, boy.

[37:06] Not going to do so well with this either.

[37:07] Oof.

[37:09] Well.

[37:10] Are we allowed to look them up online?

[37:12] No.

[37:13] Oh, okay.

[37:13] But thank you for asking, actually.

[37:16] In this modern digital era, age, I mean, I feel like a lot of people think they can just

[37:20] look everything up online.

[37:22] But no, you're actually going to have to use your memory banks.

Dan McCoy

[37:25] Some of these are movies that I think you're going to be really excited that you remember.

Stuart Wellington

[37:29] Okay.

[37:29] So I'm going to hit the timer, and then you just go crazy.

[37:35] Okay.

[37:36] And go.

[37:39] Borderlands.

[37:39] Dear David.

Elliott Kalan

[37:41] Madam Web.

[37:43] Rebel Moon.

[37:45] The Scargiver.

[37:47] Yep.

[37:48] The Last Mermaid.

[37:49] Did we do that one this year?

[37:52] I don't remember.

[37:53] No.

[37:54] The other movies that we covered on this podcast this year.

[38:01] Let's see.

[38:03] Were there any others?

[38:04] Did we do any other episodes this year?

Stuart Wellington

[38:08] We definitely did, Elliot.

[38:09] I know it all blurs together.

Elliott Kalan

[38:11] Oh, well, The Flash.

[38:15] Let's see.

[38:17] Some other type of – Venom.

[38:21] Let There Be Carnage.

[38:22] Was that this year or last year?

[38:23] I can't remember.

[38:24] It was not this year.

[38:25] It was not this year.

[38:27] How about, let's see, other movies that came out this year that we covered.

[38:33] What did we do in Small Vember?

[38:36] I don't even remember those.

[38:37] Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

[38:39] Was that this year or was that last year?

[38:41] That was last year.

[38:43] Oh, boy.

[38:43] Time goes by so fast.

[38:46] Let's see.

[38:47] Did we do – oh, that one, Under the Streets of Paris or whatever.

[38:52] Beneath Paris.

[38:54] Yep.

[38:54] Under Paris.

[38:55] Under the Sharks.

[38:55] Under Paris.

[38:56] Yeah.

[38:58] Let's see.

[38:59] There was also something with a ghost in it.

[39:05] Dear David.

[39:07] Did I say that?

[39:07] You said that one.

[39:08] You already did that one.

[39:09] I already said that one.

[39:11] Let's see.

[39:12] Did I say Borderlands?

[39:14] Yeah, I said that one.

[39:16] Uh-huh.

[39:16] Let's see.

[39:18] Was there Madam Web?

[39:21] That one?

[39:21] Did that one get mentioned?

[39:23] Yeah, I think so.

[39:24] Yeah, it's marked down.

[39:25] Yeah.

[39:26] Okay.

[39:27] Mark it down and give me two points for that one.

[39:29] Let's see.

[39:30] Also, oh, no.

[39:36] That was years ago.

[39:37] Let's see.

[39:38] Yeah.

[39:40] Elliot, that is your time.

Stuart Wellington

[39:41] You actually did better at this one than the last one, but maybe not as entertaining.

Elliott Kalan

[39:45] At least I'm drawing from my own lived experience for this one.

[39:49] Okay.

Stuart Wellington

[39:50] Dan, now, you're so far ahead, you don't even need to play this part, but if you just want

[39:57] to stun on Elliot to show off how good your memory is.

[40:01] I think you should do it.

[40:02] Well, I'll do a couple.

Dan McCoy

[40:02] I think you should do it.

[40:04] There's the Avengers, the most, we just dropped that one.

[40:10] Yep.

[40:11] We got Night Swim.

[40:14] Didn't mention that.

[40:14] Oh, and I just thought of another one I didn't mention.

[40:16] Yeah.

[40:17] Megalopolis.

[40:18] Hell yeah.

[40:19] Crap.

[40:20] Did Elliot mention Robot in the Family?

[40:22] No, I didn't mention Robot in the Family.

[40:23] Nope.

[40:24] I can't remember what the other small timber was, though, for whatever reason.

[40:29] There was the first Rebel Moon, I think, was also this year.

[40:33] Yep.

[40:33] I think you only mentioned the Scargiver.

Elliott Kalan

[40:35] No, I thought the first one was last year.

[40:36] First one was the first episode of this year, yeah.

[40:39] Oh.

Dan McCoy

[40:40] Yeah, I think that's all I really got off the top of it.

[40:43] So we got some classics in here.

[40:44] Can I mention one more?

Stuart Wellington

[40:45] Yeah.

[40:45] What?

Elliott Kalan

[40:46] Was 65 also this year?

Stuart Wellington

[40:48] No.

[40:49] 65 is not.

[40:50] Oh, it was faster.

Stuart Wellington

[40:50] So let me go down some of the ones we missed here.

[40:52] We got Kangaroo Jack, Jiggly, Cobra, Cat Person.

[40:56] Oh, no.

[40:57] There is Sonic the Hedgehog, too.

[40:58] Elliot gets a point.

[41:00] Roadhouse, Argyle.

[41:01] Boom.

[41:02] Baby Genius.

[41:02] Yes, Argyle.

[41:03] It's coming back.

[41:04] Oh, Argyle.

[41:04] We even mentioned it.

[41:05] The Matrix Revolutions.

Elliott Kalan

[41:06] The episode before this, yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[41:08] Dan's favorite movie, Boat Trip.

[41:11] Disclosure.

[41:12] The Garbage Pail Kids movie.

Elliott Kalan

[41:14] It hurt me that we did a lot of older movies this year.

[41:16] That hurt me.

Stuart Wellington

[41:17] I was trying to think of newer movies.

[41:18] Wish, If, another favorite, Dangerous Game, The Legacy Murders.

[41:23] That was the other one.

[41:24] And that's it.

[41:25] Oh, right.

[41:25] That's it, guys.

[41:26] But you guys actually, you guys got at least half of them.

[41:28] Good job.

[41:29] So, with the total scores here, let me just tabulate.

[41:32] You have to run it through the machines.

[41:34] Elliot with 12.

[41:36] Dan, for missing a couple, he still manages to get, oh, shit, 37.

[41:43] Oh, God.

[41:43] 37 points for Dan.

[41:45] Wow, Dan dominated.

[41:45] I've never felt so much shame about winning something.

[41:48] Dan did so good at the streaming service.

[41:51] It's like he's on the streamers all day long here.

[41:55] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[41:55] Yet again, there's like a lot of important real-life stuff I forget all the time.

[41:59] It frustrates people who know me.

Stuart Wellington

[42:01] No, but you know which streamers the movies are on.

[42:04] That's something you have to do.

[42:05] Yeah.

[42:05] So, guys, I think everybody can agree that 2024 was quite a year in movies.

[42:11] The game.

[42:14] Thanks.

[42:15] Okay.

[42:15] So, thank you so much for joining me on this mini-adventure.

[42:19] Obviously, if you see Dan McCoy, make sure to give him a high five for doing so well in this game.

[42:23] I think he did a really good job.

[42:24] Thank you.

[42:24] Maybe send in a message.

Elliott Kalan

[42:26] Just yell out, hey, Dan, enjoy the Netflix.

[42:28] Yes.

Stuart Wellington

[42:30] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[42:32] Yeah.

[42:32] If, yeah, make sure that everybody, make sure to remind Dan to plug Netflix when he gets a chance because that's clearly who's buttering his bread these days.

[42:41] So, this has been a Flophouse mini.

[42:44] It has been produced by Alex Smith, who may or may not have added in great buzzer sounds or not.

[42:50] I am Stuart Wellington, and joining me are my co-hosts as always.

[42:56] Dan McCoy.

Elliott Kalan

[42:57] And Elliot Kalin being humble in loss and just saying, Dan, you're a master.

[43:03] I just can't.

[43:04] It's no shame to be beaten by the best.

Stuart Wellington

[43:08] Yeah.

[43:08] He's the best around.

[43:10] Okay.

[43:11] Thanks so much.

[43:12] See you next week.

[43:12] Bye.

[43:13] Bye.
