FH Mini #119 - '24 in Review with Stu

[0:00] Hi, floppers, before we start this episode,

[0:02] I just wanted to remind you,

[0:03] we are in the middle of Flop TV season two.

[0:06] That's right, the one hour internet televised

[0:08] Flop House TV show is here for you

[0:11] the first Saturday of every month through February.

[0:14] Just go to theflophouse.simpletics.com

[0:17] and get your tickets or season pass

[0:19] for this all new Flop House TV stuff.

[0:22] We're covering movies we've never covered before.

[0:24] We've got video segments.

[0:25] It's amazing.

[0:27] Just go to theflophouse.simpletics.com

[0:29] for Flop TV season two.

[0:31] This time it's personal.

[0:33] Hey, hello, I'm Stuart Wellington,

[0:42] one of the hosts of the Flop House podcast.

[0:44] And I'm here to introduce and run the Flop House mini,

[0:47] a mini episode of the Flop House podcast.

[0:50] And I am joined as always by my two co-hosts

[0:52] who will introduce themselves now.

[0:55] Dan McCoy.

[0:57] Elliot Kalin.

[0:59] Now, on one of these mini episodes,

[1:01] instead of watching a bad movie and talking about it,

[1:03] 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

[1:18] to my two co-hosts who are going to be-

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

[1:23] Yeah, please.

[1:24] I mean, if you played some of the board games that I like,

[1:31] it does kind of require a fair amount of administration.

[1:33] So yeah, so you guys are going to be playing

[1:37] for the chance to win big points and bragging rights

[1:40] over your fellow co-hosts.

[1:42] And maybe if you're lucky,

[1:44] a $20 gift card to Blockbuster Video.

[1:50] It's expired?

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

[1:53] Okay, great, 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.

[1:59] If I make it all the way up to that Blockbuster in Alaska,

[2:01] maybe they'll redeem it just for me taking the job.

[2:04] They'll honor it.

[2:05] Yeah, they should.

[2:06] They should.

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

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

[2:10] Oh, Mr. Worldwide.

[2:13] Okay, so today's game, which is, of course,

[2:17] 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

[2:25] 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?

[2:32] That's pretty straightforward.

[2:33] Okay.

[2:33] So in round one, we are playing the,

[2:37] the name of the game is Who Am I?

[2:41] So I'm going to be asking you questions

[2:43] and I'm going to let you know

[2:44] whether this is the name of a movie that came out this year

[2:49] or the name of one of the actors in that movie, 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.

[3:01] Okay.

[3:02] Now, the interesting thing about this category

[3:04] is that for each question,

[3:06] if you manage to get the first question,

[3:09] get it right on the first question, you get three points.

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

[3:15] 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, okay?

[3:22] If you guess wrong,

[3:23] you cannot guess any more for this question.

[3:27] Does that make sense?

[3:28] Yes.

[3:29] Okay.

[3:30] Dan said yes with the same level of tentativeness

[3:32] that I'm feeling.

[3:33] Okay.

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

[3:35] Okay.

[3:36] So our first question under the Who Am I game,

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

[3:44] Elliot.

[3:45] Dune part two.

[3:46] Was that this year?

[3:48] It was, but that is incorrect.

[3:50] It's actually incredibly correct

[3:52] based on the information you've given us.

[3:53] Yeah, I held back

[3:55] because I assumed this was some sort of fiendish trick.

[3:57] I assumed it was a trick,

[3:58] but I think I could also make a good case

[4:00] that with the information we have right now,

[4:02] that's what it is.

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

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

[4:09] No, no, I want another question.

[4:12] What, clue number two?

[4:14] This is part of an existing franchise

[4:16] chronicling the rise of a beloved character.

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

[4:23] I still don't feel like I have enough information

[4:26] at this point.

[4:27] Okay, clue number three then.

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

[4:34] Oh, okay.

[4:35] So 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] Well, I mean, Elliot can't talk anymore,

[4:42] I mean, he can talk, but he can't gas anymore.

[4:44] So I just assumed. I sure can.

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

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

[4:51] Oh, yeah.

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

[4:57] Doesn't get bigger than that.

[4:59] Okay.

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

[5:03] You're stumbling into that one.

[5:04] This is the name of an actor, okay?

[5:08] This actor was the lead

[5:11] in three theatrical releases this year

[5:15] in three different genres.

[5:20] Interesting.

[5:21] It's probably not Dune Part Two,

[5:24] because that's a movie, not a person.

[5:26] Anybody wanna 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.

[5:35] Co-wrote the screenplay?

[5:37] Oh, my.

[5:43] This is gonna be great radio,

[5:44] because there's gonna be a lot of us.

[5:46] Okay.

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

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

[5:50] And then the third clue.

[5:52] This was the summer of him,

[5:54] despite not being voted People's Sexiest Man.

[5:58] I'm gonna-

[5:59] Elliot.

[6:00] It's Glenn something, right?

[6:01] Uh, you're-

[6:03] Glenn something, I guess he's accurate

[6:05] as according to Elliot's rules of-

[6:07] Technically correct.

[6:09] Glenn Powell.

[6:10] Powell, yeah.

[6:11] Elliot, that's one point.

[6:12] Glenn Powell.

[6:13] Yeah.

[6:13] Okay, yeah.

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

[6:18] He is somehow everywhere,

[6:21] and all over the place,

[6:21] and being in lots of movies,

[6:22] and I cannot remember his name often,

[6:24] because it's just a pretty normal name, you know?

[6:28] Yeah.

[6:29] Yeah, pretty normal name.

[6:31] As opposed to like Timothy Chalamet,

[6:33] where I'm like,

[6:33] well, I've never met anybody with that name.

[6:35] Yeah.

[6:36] Yeah, yeah.

[6:37] Okay, okay.

[6:38] The next one, you need to give me the name of the movie.

[6:40] This is a popular sequel,

[6:43] long-awaited popular sequel,

[6:46] to a classic movie.

[6:48] Long-awaited.

[6:50] Okay.

[6:51] It could be a couple different things.

[6:52] A classic movie.

[6:56] Yeah, I don't think we have enough information.

[6:58] Clue number two.

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

[7:08] But doesn't have Glen Powell in it?

[7:09] 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

[7:17] the name of one of the characters repeated.

[7:20] Okay, I'm gonna raise my hand again.

[7:21] Elliot.

[7:22] I'm gonna say Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

[7:24] You nailed it.

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

[7:28] Almost.

[7:29] Now guys, I didn't see twisters.

[7:30] I guess there is a twist in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

[7:33] now that I think about it.

[7:34] Yeah, I guess fair enough.

[7:36] There's at least one thing that could be called a twist.

[7:41] No, I didn't see twisters.

[7:42] Does it feature a tornado

[7:44] that has like a man's head sticking out of it?

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

[7:48] What's that guy's, Riptide?

[7:49] One of the marauders, Elliot?

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

[7:53] What is his name?

[7:54] I can't remember.

[7:55] Whirlpool.

[7:56] It might be something like Whirlpool

[7:57] or something like that.

[7:58] Spicezilla or Charybdis or something?

[8:00] No, no, it's not that.

[8:01] Despite my 4DX screening of twisters

[8:06] being disrupted by a weird family

[8:10] having some argument with another weird family

[8:12] for the first half of the movie,

[8:14] I think I'm pretty confident in saying

[8:16] that that does not happen in twisters.

[8:18] Okay.

[8:19] I don't know, we'll have to ask Paul Schrader,

[8:20] number one twisters fan.

[8:22] Number one twisters fan, okay.

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

[8:27] I thought so, too.

[8:28] Okay, this next-

[8:30] Is that his title, Riptide, the man who could spin around?

[8:33] I'm sorry.

[8:34] Yeah, exactly.

[8:34] Riptide, real name Janos Quested,

[8:37] according to Wikipedia, which, come on.

[8:39] Sounds like a normal name.

[8:41] Yeah.

[8:42] Normal name.

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

[8:45] but the thing about him is that his body spins around

[8:47] and his head stays stable.

[8:48] And he spins around very fast, is the other thing.

[8:50] He spins around very fast.

[8:52] I can spin pretty fast.

[8:54] Okay.

[8:55] Okay.

[8:56] Okay, this next one is,

[8:58] you gotta give me the name of the actor.

[9:02] The lead in the third movie

[9:05] in a popular superhero franchise.

[9:08] Okay, popular superhero franchise.

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

[9:13] quite a bit more.

[9:15] It's tough.

[9:16] Well, I mean, it does, it is, wait, hold on.

[9:18] What was the question again?

[9:20] Lead in the third movie

[9:22] of a popular superhero franchise.

[9:24] I'm gonna buzz in just because I feel like

[9:26] there actually haven't been that many superhero movies

[9:29] recently compared to a year or two ago.

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

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

[9:34] You fucking nailed it.

[9:36] Hell yeah, that's three points for Dan.

[9:38] The other clues were, in these movies,

[9:41] he has a pretty funny accent.

[9:45] And then the final clue,

[9:47] has a chance to go three for three

[9:49] in the flop house with these movies.

[9:51] I think it'll probably happen.

[9:52] Good luck.

[9:53] Okay, we're all counting on him.

[9:54] Okay, the next is, good luck to Tom Hardy.

[9:58] Yeah, all our best wishes go to Tom.

[10:00] Achieving that goal this one you guys have to you guys got to give me the name of the movie

[10:05] Okay

[10:06] Tom Hart unlike

[10:11] Unlikely friends team up to save the universe

[10:16] Yeah

[10:17] hard one second

[10:19] I'm wondering about the definition of friends. Yeah, the opening credits feature the song bye-bye-bye. Oh

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

[10:31] Deadpool Wolverine, right? That is Deadpool and Wolverine still haven't seen it

[10:36] I heard all about the hilarious opening credits. We're what he's dancing or something. Can you believe that?

[10:46] Yeah, it's especially when you're like hey if you're gonna do kind of the same

[10:49] Oh, but if you're gonna use this song just like Red Rocket did you should be as good as Red Rocket, which it's not

[10:55] Okay, Red Rocket is the movie based on the DC character Red Rocket, right like the Soviet guy

[11:00] Ella you should watch it. Let me know what you think

[11:02] Okay. So the next is you're gonna have to give me the name of the actor. Okay, okay

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

[11:17] Hmm

[11:19] It's an interesting clue

[11:22] But I don't have an answer for you. Yeah, no me either clue number two

[11:27] While attending press events for this film for this the film. She's in she brought along her micro chihuahua pilaf

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

[11:41] It sounds familiar, but I cannot connect it with anything

[11:45] Final clue

[11:46] Despite her first name. She plays the bigger version or the matrix in this movie

[11:55] Dan Dan, I'm just just guessing based on the name thing. Is it mini driver?

[12:01] That's actually pretty good. But it's not it's okay Elliot. Do you want a final buzz?

[12:06] I also was thinking it was mini something. So not the anyone named small anyone named small

[12:13] They're tiny lady, yeah a little tiny Tina

[12:20] Okay, so wait, so she's

[12:22] Clues too hard. She has started a movie in four years. She brought Oh Demi Moore. Thank you

[12:30] boom crushed

[12:33] Good job. Good job Elliot extra points. You know, what was the clue that got it to me was the dog

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

[12:43] Okay, so the next is you're gonna have to give me the name of the movie

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

[12:55] Okay, so it could be any number of Australian movies yeah or movies that's true just about Australia

[13:01] Yeah clue number two

[13:03] There is a karaoke scene of the song against all odds by Phil Collins. Hmm. I got you Dan

[13:10] This is the this is the fall guy. You nailed it Dan. Oh, good job. It's neck-and-neck here folks

[13:17] The the final clue should have been a hit. Yeah, I really like that movie. Oh

[13:23] Okay

[13:24] Let's see. Oh, man, we're wrapping up here. Okay next this is uh, this is a movie

[13:28] You're gonna have to give me the name of a movie. Okay?

[13:32] lots of scenes on a

[13:35] cranberry farm

[13:38] Dan this is my old ass. It is my old ass

[13:43] Well, okay, very farm-centered movies. You can see I was at a movie. I kept thinking it was a TV show

[13:49] the other clues

[13:52] The the only the clues are it dispels the time-travel rules established in the movie time cop. Okay

[14:00] So let's

[14:02] What was that? Oh it there's fewer splits in this movie than in time cop

[14:06] You would be surprised

[14:08] finally

[14:10] Aubrey Plaza's characters referred to as having an old ass

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

[14:17] Okay, the next is we we got another movie

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

[14:28] The villain scams elderly people or is an elderly person who scams I feel like there are two possibilities for this

[14:35] Honestly, so I'm gonna guess we're gonna another almost fell into my trap

[14:40] Yeah

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

[14:48] Okay, I'm gonna guess for this one. Dan

[14:51] Thelma you are correct. It could have movie the beak. It almost was the keeper

[14:56] It could have been Felicia Rashad being scammed. But instead it was June Squibb

[15:01] I haven't seen Thelma yet. I hear only good things. It's fun

[15:06] Thelma and Louise it's about before she meets Louise. This is a long

[15:13] Yeah, she actually survived at the end

[15:17] That's a big retcon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean it's all covered in a montage in the opening credits

[15:24] Where she fashions a parachute out of?

[15:27] Okay, here's our final question for this category before our bonus round

[15:32] Okay, you got to give me the name question is the final question, but then there's another one

[15:37] Yeah, this is the you got to give me the name of the actor, okay?

[15:44] Despite being pivotal to the movie. He only has 10 minutes of screen time

[15:50] Only 10 minutes of screen time

[15:53] Only 10 minutes of screen time

[15:58] Okay

[15:59] number two

[16:01] Mm-hmm. He is under heavy prosthetics the whole movie

[16:06] your heavy prosthetics

[16:10] It's not TV's the penguin because that was on TV that's on TV. I mean, it's not TV. It's HBO

[16:18] Elliot give me that

[16:20] Stellan Skarsgård

[16:23] Or whatever. No, what is his name?

[16:25] I'm sorry. It's not Stellan Skarsgård. Finally. I was thinking this is this was finally the dune question that I've been wondering all this

[16:31] Oh, that would have been a good one

[16:33] That would have been a good one technically correct, but not the final the final

[16:38] We'll clear it up is long legs

[16:40] I just got to remember to always wait for the last

[16:46] Nicholas Cage he's long legs. Okay. So now the bone. Here's the bonus round

[16:51] This is where things are gonna get a little bit closer

[16:54] Like it really yeah, that was a real trick, especially considering the third clue would mention the name of the movie in it. Yeah

[17:01] Okay

[17:02] So this this next the bonus round is the one that's gonna be a little bit more difficult

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

[17:11] Elliot you're gonna it's gonna start with you and then

[17:14] You're gonna have two minutes

[17:16] to name as many feature films

[17:20] released by

[17:22] move a film fan darlings a

[17:25] 24

[17:27] For each one you name

[17:29] you get a point and then after your two minutes is up day and we'll get to try and name as many ones as you

[17:34] Missed and that's it. That's a let me here. That's this year. Yeah, okay

[17:41] I'm just gonna I'm gonna give me give me one second. Oh, this is not gonna be your category

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

[17:50] So I'm probably gonna zero points. That's the challenge of the game of

[17:55] 2020 for the year in movies. Did they because I know how no, it's true

[17:59] I knew what I was getting into I knew I was getting into when I applied for this game Stewart knowing the name

[18:04] And so I want to do that

[18:06] yeah, even even knowing that you were not gonna be good at this you're like

[18:10] I just want to be on TV and unfortunately, you're on a podcast

[18:14] Okay, so I'm going to hit start and then Elliot you just start naming shit. Okay, go

[20:12] Okay, I saw the TV glow. Was that them? Yep

[20:16] Let's see long legs before I mentioned long legs. No

[20:22] True why why 2k it did you do that?

[20:26] Oof now, I'm now I'm having trouble. Uh

[20:33] What all happened this year, let's see. Well, there's some terrible national decisions that were made

[20:47] Got you got about a minute left and so they do a lot of

[20:54] Or generally art house

[20:57] They do an aura with that neon that was me on

[21:02] Gotta give me credit. I said I named fewer a24 movies than Dan, but I named more movies than Dan. Yeah

[21:07] Well, I should get points for that. Yeah, I feel like I might actually know these is the thing. So that's why I'm

[21:15] But I'm having trouble

[21:19] What else did I see

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

[21:31] Did they do challengers or is that neon to that was me?

[21:34] I don't even I think that was a one of the bigger studios. Yeah. Yeah, that was a that was probably just but

[21:42] But there was a movie that is let's say related

[21:46] We're yes

[21:49] Okay, yeah, that's three of these for Dan killing it you gonna tell you out, okay, let's call it let's call it

[21:56] Okay, you know what? So we got me by as much as I thought he would

[24:31] That's true. Justin. Is it true that our medical history podcast is just as good as a visit to your primary care physician

[24:37] No, Justin, that is absolutely not true

[24:40] however

[24:40] Our podcast is funny and interesting and a great way to learn about the medical misdeeds of the past as well as some current

[24:48] Not so legit health care facts

[24:50] So you're saying that by listening to our podcast people feel better sure and isn't that the same reason that you go to the doctor?

[25:14] So I asked my kids about ours is Jordan Jessica a good show. No, definitely not. It's really bad

[25:26] It's just really boy

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

[26:42] sure, so

[26:43] We we have one more full round to go and then there's going to be an extra bonus round where

[26:50] Scores can get a little bit closer. Maybe we'll find out

[26:54] So this next round which is this is gonna be based on the result so far. I think it's gonna be pretty good

[27:00] We are playing a game called name that

[27:04] Streamer I will name a movie and you are going to tell me what streaming service

[27:10] Released this movie or had a while in the production

[27:13] Yeah, okay. You only get one guess and again, I will list the movie. You will have to buzz in by raising your hand

[27:22] Whole thing

[27:26] And

[27:27] you

[27:28] And each one is gonna be worth two points

[27:31] Okay, so points are points are in a way doubled this round. Okay, so in in a very literal way

[27:38] Yeah, well

[27:40] Okay. So our first our first feature film

[27:45] Rebel Ridge

[27:49] That's a Netflix that's a Netflix

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

[27:58] And rebel moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie. That's a Netflix. Yeah, okay

[28:04] Ricky Stanicki

[28:06] Uh

[28:07] Elliot was that a peacock?

[28:11] Unfortunately, no, but good guess Dan

[28:13] Amazon Prime Prime video you are you are correct. It is prime video. I don't know Dan answered like three different answers there. I don't know

[28:22] Okay, Salem's lot

[28:26] Lots of Salem's Dan, I believe that's a max

[28:31] That is a max Daniel you watch a lot of movies. I didn't see that one. I heard it was bad

[28:39] I like bits of it. Okay, but you didn't you like Salem's little basically what you're saying? Yeah

[28:46] Enough, you know

[28:49] The killer the killer. Okay, John Woo's remake of his own movie Elliot. Oh

[28:55] Never mind. I thought it was a different one

[28:57] John Woo

[28:59] You're thinking of the killer

[29:01] Yeah, the Fincher I was thinking about the David Fincher at the killer. Yeah

[29:05] no, this is John Woo's remake of his own movie starring Natalie Emmanuelle and

[29:10] the guy from the the guy from those

[29:14] Pandora movies

[29:16] Yeah, was this Paramount Plus?

[29:19] Incorrect, and I'm sorry LA

[29:21] There was a chance to steal chance to see I might as well guess something

[29:26] Let's say Hulu is a Hulu. Unfortunately. No, it was Peacock one of the guys only original movies this year

[29:34] Okay, I was associated with a network, but I picked the wrong one. I didn't even know

[29:39] the idea of you

[29:46] I'm just gonna guess like this sounds

[29:49] This sounds like in an Apple TV Plus to me

[29:54] Does sound like that, but it's not okay Elliot chance to steal

[30:00] Show me to me.

[30:03] No, this is an Amazon Prime.

[30:05] But once again, good guess.

[30:08] OK, let's see.

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

[30:16] Oh, good grief.

[30:17] Yeah, that thing.

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

[30:21] She's it's about it's about.

[30:23] OK, Dan, yes, I Netflix.

[30:27] Dan, it is, in fact, a Netflix.

[30:29] Yeah.

[30:31] OK, guys, Beverly Hills cop Axel F.

[30:37] That Dan, that I believe is also a Netflix man, Dan's all over Netflix.

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

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

[30:50] Yeah, he's getting money from Netflix.

[30:52] Yeah. In a violent nature made by friends of the pod in a violent nature.

[30:59] Roku channel.

[31:02] Nope, Dan.

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

[31:07] That's it's got to be.

[31:09] You got to be into it.

[31:10] And you know, you know, it is available and how to get it.

[31:14] Yeah. Irish Wish starring Lindsay Lohan.

[31:21] Do it. Yeah, Netflix.

[31:25] You know, Netflix, this dude, what's going on?

[31:28] The thing about winning this game is it makes me feel worse

[31:31] than if I was losing this game.

[31:32] Like, oh, yeah, I also like.

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

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

[31:44] Guys, smile to.

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

[31:48] It was a theatrical release, but it was.

[31:51] Oh, this is a partnership with with one of the streamers.

[31:54] Oh. I am DBTV.

[32:02] Unfortunately, no.

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

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

[32:09] Unfortunately, Paramount Plus.

[32:11] Oh, that's my plus.

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

[32:15] It's a movie studios.

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

[32:19] Well, I believe the original smile was a Paramount Plus original.

[32:23] And then this was like a. Oh, I see.

[32:25] OK, we got a movie called Jackpot.

[32:30] Oh, oh, no.

[32:32] Wait, was that Apple plus Apple, Apple TV Plus?

[32:34] It is not. You're so close.

[32:36] I'm thinking I'm thinking of luck or whatever it's called or, you know.

[32:40] Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

[32:42] The and I even watch the and I watch this one.

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

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

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

[32:55] was also in a clearly under contract of some flavor.

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

[33:01] Nope. This is Amazon Prime because it's I'm guessing John Cena is

[33:06] has some kind of connection or which one is which one is which one was Jackpot

[33:10] is an action where not actually that is it's the action comedy with Aquafina

[33:15] where she wins the lottery, but she has to stay alive for 24 hours.

[33:20] Oh, everything you told me brings no bells.

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

[33:25] Yeah, you may have heard of Paul Feig.

[33:26] He was in Ski Patrol.

[33:29] Oh, right. OK. Yeah.

[33:32] The one address. I got a fancy.

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

[33:40] Netflix. No.

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

[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.

[33:52] The thing is, this streaming service has a catalog

[33:54] that is filled with movies that sound like that because it's to be.

[33:59] That was to be to be original Winona Earp Vengeance.

[34:03] OK, we got a movie called Bratz.

[34:10] Bratz. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[34:12] Yeah, I got this. This is this is Hulu.

[34:14] This is that documentary.

[34:15] But it is I was trying to throw you off.

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

[34:22] But yes, this is this is what?

[34:24] Andrew McCarthy's documentary about.

[34:26] Yeah, Bratz.

[34:28] Where he is about the dolls.

[34:30] Yeah, I think actually there's a post credit scene

[34:33] where he is talking about the dolls.

[34:34] But, you know, it's only like they like they invented the word Bratz.

[34:38] And he's like, look at these dolls after me.

[34:42] Yeah. OK. And a bunch of brats at the grocery store is like, yeah.

[34:46] Nate has made some broth and they're like this.

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

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

[34:55] Yeah. Yeah. If he charges less than like, you know, he's just not selling.

[35:00] If each individually signs the numbers, every brat.

[35:03] That's why he charges so much.

[35:05] I mean, I guess that makes sense.

[35:06] But I don't know. That seems nuts.

[35:08] OK. And our final one doesn't sell nuts.

[35:10] He sells brats, although maybe if he sold nuts with the brats.

[35:14] Oh, interesting. OK.

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

[35:20] OK. So we have.

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

[35:24] You guys like, you know, butter, right?

[35:26] Dance. Nuts and butter.

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

[35:32] OK, that's weird.

[35:33] OK. And the final movie is a movie that I watched while I was in Australia.

[35:39] There's a movie called.

[35:40] This is a movie called Players, starring Gina Rodriguez

[35:45] and I think Damon Wayans, Jr.

[35:47] Oh, I don't know this at all.

[35:53] I'm going to say, oh, no, Dan, what do you think?

[35:56] No, I don't have a I was like, what does it sound like?

[35:58] It it's all I can't think of.

[36:01] That's what does it.

[36:03] Context clues from the movie called Players,

[36:06] starring Damon Wayans, Jr. and Gina Rodriguez.

[36:10] Oh, I know it. I'm going to say Brit box.

[36:12] Mm. Nope, it's not.

[36:14] Corncob TV either.

[36:16] Dan, so don't guess that you think of a corn.

[36:23] I was like, I was going to say, I was like, oh, maybe that is

[36:26] what Stewart thinks a corn TV is.

[36:27] Corncob TV.

[36:29] It's like the hee haw channel.

[36:31] I'm going to say it's a Hulu.

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

[36:34] This is Netflix.

[36:35] You're fucking boys.

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

[36:39] but we know you, we know you're a Netflix boy.

[36:41] OK, so not your strongest round,

[36:45] but guys, I think everything's about to change.

[36:47] OK, this is where you, Elliot, gets to go first.

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

[36:54] You have two minutes to name as many films

[36:59] that we covered on main episodes and live episodes

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

[37:05] Oh, boy. Not going to do so well with this either.

[37:07] Oh, well, are we allowed to look them up online?

[37:12] No. Oh, OK.

[37:13] But I thank you for asking.

[37:15] Actually, that's in this modern digital era age.

[37:18] I mean, I feel like a lot of people think they can just look everything up online.

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

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

[37:28] that you remember.

[37:29] OK, so I'm going to hit or I'm going to hit

[37:32] I'm going to hit the timer and then you just go you go crazy.

[37:35] OK. And go.

[37:38] Borderlands, Dear David, Madam Web,

[37:44] Rebel Moon, The Scargiver.

[37:47] Yeah. The Last Mermaid.

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

[37:52] I don't remember. 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?

[38:08] We definitely did, Elliot.

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

[38:12] Oh, well, that the Flash.

[38:15] Let's see some other type of venom.

[38:21] Let there be carnage.

[38:22] Is that this year or last year? I can't remember.

[38:24] It was not this year.

[38:25] It's not this year.

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

[38:34] What did we do in small Vember?

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

[38:37] Sonic the Hedgehog, too.

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

[38:41] I was last year.

[38:43] Oh, boy. It's time goes by so fast.

[38:46] Let's see. Did we do

[38:50] oh, that one under the streets of Paris or whatever beneath Paris?

[38:54] Yeah. Under Paris.

[38:55] Under Paris. Yeah.

[38:58] Let's see.

[38:59] There was also

[39:04] something with a ghost in it.

[39:06] Dear David, did I say that?

[39:08] That one said that one.

[39:11] Let's see. I say I say Borderlands.

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

[39:17] Let's see. Was there

[39:20] Madam Web? That one.

[39:21] Did that one get mentioned?

[39:23] Yeah, I think so.

[39:24] Let's yeah, it's Mark down. Yeah.

[39:26] OK. When you mark it down again, give me give me two points for that one.

[39:29] Let's see. Also,

[39:35] oh, no, that was years ago.

[39:37] Let's see. Yeah.

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

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

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

[39:49] OK, Dan. Now you you're you're so far ahead.

[39:53] You don't even need to play this part.

[39:55] But if you want to if you if you just want to stun on Elliot with your

[39:59] to show off.

[40:00] good your memory is. I think I'll do a couple. I think there's the there's the

[40:05] Avengers the most the we just dropped that one. Yep. We got a Night Swim didn't

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

[40:16] Megalopolis. Hell yeah. Crap. Did Elliot mention Robot in the Family? No I didn't.

[40:22] Nope. I can't remember what the other small timber was though for

[40:28] whatever reason. There's the first one. Oh yeah. It was also this year. Yep. You

[40:33] already mentioned the Scargiver. No I thought the first one was last year. First one was the

[40:37] first episode of this year. Yeah I think that's all I really got off the top of my head.

[40:42] Can I mention one more? Yeah. What? Was 65 also this year? No. 65 is not. So let me go down

[40:50] some of the ones we missed here. We got Kangaroo Jack, Jiggly, Cobra, Cat Person.

[40:56] Oh no there is Sonic the Hedgehog too. Elliot gets a point. Roadhouse, Argyle, Baby Genius,

[41:04] The Matrix Revolutions, Dan's favorite movie, Boat Trip, Disclosure, The Garbage Bail Kids

[41:13] movie. We did a lot of older movies this year. That's that. I was trying to think of newer movies.

[41:18] Wish If, another favorite dangerous game, The Legacy Murders. That was the other one.

[41:24] And that's it. That's it guys. But you guys actually, you guys got at least half of them.

[41:28] Good job. So with the total scores here, let me just tabulate. Elliot with 12,

[41:35] Dan for missing a couple. He still manages to get, oh shit, 37. 37 points for Dan.

[41:45] I've never felt so much shame about winning something. Dan did so good at the streaming

[41:50] service. It's like he's on, he's on, he's on the streamers all day long here. Yeah. Yet again,

[41:55] there's like a lot of important real life stuff. I forget all the time. It frustrates people who

[41:59] know me. No, but you know which streamers the movies are on. That's something to do.

[42:04] So guys, I think, I think everybody can agree that 2024 was quite a year in movies. The game.

[42:14] Okay. So thank you so much for joining me on this mini adventure. Obviously if you see Dan

[42:19] McCoy, make sure to give him a high five for doing so well in this game. I think he did a

[42:23] really good job. Maybe send him a message. Just yell out. Hey Dan, enjoy the Netflix.

[42:30] Yeah. Yeah. If yeah. Make sure that everybody, make sure to remind Dan to plug Netflix when

[42:36] he gets a chance because that's clearly who's buttering his bread these days.

[42:41] So this has been a Flophouse mini. It has been produced by Alex Smith who may or may not have

[42:47] added in great buzzer sounds or not. I am Stuart Wellington and joining me are my co-hosts as

[42:54] always. Dan McCoy. And Elliot Kalin being humble in loss and just saying Dan, you're a master.

[43:02] I just can't. It's no, it's no, it's no shame to be beaten by the best.

[43:08] Yeah. He's the best round. Okay. Uh, thanks so much. See you next week. Bye.

[43:19] Maximum fun, a worker owned network of artists owned shows supported directly by you.
