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.
[0:13]
Just go to theflophouse.simpleticks.com and get your tickets or season pass for this all-new Flophouse TV stuff.
[0:21]
We're covering movies we've never covered before. We've got video segments. It's amazing.
[0:26]
Just go to theflophouse.simpleticks.com for FlopTV Season 2. This time, it's personal.
[0:37]
Hey, everybody. Welcome to an episode of The Flophouse. A Flophouse mini, that is.
[0:42]
You know, normally on the Flophouse, we watch a bad movie and then we spend a long time talking about it.
[0:47]
On Flophouse minis, we do other stuff and we spend not quite as much time doing it.
[0:52]
I'll be driving this Flophouse mini. My name is Elliot Kalin.
[0:56]
And I am, of course, as always, joined by my two regular co-hosts.
[0:59]
Dan McCoy.
[1:01]
And Stewie Wellington.
[1:03]
Oh, wow.
[1:03]
And we are rejoined. Baby Stewie Wellington from Family Guy.
[1:07]
And we are rejoined, of course, by the star of the show, returning champion.
Hallie Haglund
[1:12]
Allie Haglund.
[1:14]
Hi, guys.
[1:15]
Hey.
Stuart Wellington
[1:15]
Hey, everybody.
[1:17]
Wouldn't it be crazy if the family and Family Guy's last name was Wellington?
Elliott Kalan
[1:21]
It would be crazy.
[1:22]
Yeah.
[1:23]
Because you also grew up in a house with a talking dog, right?
[1:26]
I did.
[1:27]
Yeah.
[1:27]
And a quagmire.
[1:28]
Oh, no.
[1:29]
That's right.
[1:30]
He's horrible.
[1:32]
He's horrible.
[1:33]
Guys, no, the only quagmire that Stewart grew up with was our invasion of Afghanistan.
[1:39]
Anyway, so.
[1:42]
Boom.
[1:43]
Topical, topical.
[1:44]
Satire, satire.
[1:45]
Well.
[1:46]
You still have a lot of growing left to do.
Dan McCoy
[1:47]
It's news related.
[1:48]
I don't know if it's topical.
Elliott Kalan
[1:51]
It's history related, I guess.
[1:53]
Today, we're going to talk about a special subject.
[1:57]
So, by the time this episode airs.
Stuart Wellington
[1:58]
If this whole thing is about the invasion of Afghanistan, that'd be pretty impressive, right?
Elliott Kalan
[2:02]
The year was 2002.
Stuart Wellington
[2:04]
Maybe ballsy.
Elliott Kalan
[2:05]
So, it's not going to be about that at all.
Dan McCoy
[2:08]
Turns into a slate podcast.
[2:10]
Right.
Elliott Kalan
[2:11]
Do we have any more topics about what we could do on this podcast that we're not going to do?
[2:15]
Wow, okay.
[2:15]
I mean, Rainbow Three.
Dan McCoy
[2:16]
That doesn't want to turn the car around, I guess.
Elliott Kalan
[2:19]
You know what?
[2:20]
Forget it.
[2:20]
This mini is over.
[2:21]
Goodbye, everybody.
[2:22]
No.
[2:22]
All right.
[2:22]
So, it's not Halloween season anymore, but you know what it is on the day that this episode
[2:26]
is released?
[2:27]
Day of the Dead.
[2:28]
It's the second day, I believe, of the Day of the Dead.
[2:30]
So, we can still talk about dead stuff and spooky things, and especially Hallie's favorite
[2:36]
topic.
[2:37]
That's right.
[2:38]
G-g-g-ghosts.
[2:39]
Oh, man.
[2:40]
Hallie, you want to take a moment to just tell us about your interest in ghosts?
[2:43]
I want to see one.
[2:45]
Yeah?
[2:46]
It's not a minute.
Stuart Wellington
[2:47]
You've got like 60 or 50 seconds.
Dan McCoy
[2:49]
Just like see them, or do you want to interact?
[2:52]
I want to see one.
[2:52]
I want to interact.
Hallie Haglund
[2:53]
I don't want to.
[2:54]
I guess I want to be scared, but in a fun way.
[2:57]
I don't want them to bully me or try to kill me.
[3:01]
I just want to, you know, glimpse the other side.
[3:04]
Ask them what it's like.
[3:06]
You know?
Elliott Kalan
[3:06]
Would you want to be friends with the ghost, or just it's okay if it's a one-off thing?
Hallie Haglund
[3:10]
I think one-off.
[3:12]
One-off.
[3:12]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[3:12]
Just a one-night stand with a ghost.
Dan McCoy
[3:14]
Hallie's like, I got no space in my life for another.
[3:16]
No.
Hallie Haglund
[3:17]
I got kids to take care of.
[3:19]
I got work to do.
[3:21]
I can't be ghosting.
Elliott Kalan
[3:24]
That's a fair point.
[3:25]
Now, there's a lot of movies about ghosts, and I figure there's four basic types.
[3:29]
Name one.
[3:30]
Heart and souls.
[3:33]
Anyway.
[3:34]
You did it.
[3:35]
You did it.
[3:36]
Not the one anyone was expecting, but.
[3:38]
No.
[3:39]
So, let's.
[3:39]
There's four basic.
[3:40]
High spirits.
[3:43]
So, there's four basic kinds of ghosts.
[3:45]
Ghost.
[3:52]
You said that as if you were worried about having to use the bathroom, right?
[3:57]
You got to get it out without losing control of holding it in.
[4:01]
So, there's four kinds of ghost movies, I figure.
[4:04]
There's scary ghosts, romantic ghosts, kind of platonic friend ghosts, and surprise twist
[4:09]
ghosts where you don't realize it's a ghost the whole time.
[4:11]
And at first, I thought, let's talk about those types of movies.
[4:14]
And then I decided, wait a minute.
[4:15]
What if I could gamify this in the way that only the Flophouse could do?
[4:19]
Because I started thinking about ghost movies.
[4:21]
The Flophouse podcast, we've covered a fair number of ghost movies, movies with ghosts
[4:27]
in them.
[4:27]
So, I wanted to play a little game called Dead or Not Dead.
[4:32]
Dead or No Dead?
[4:32]
What's the name of that show?
[4:33]
Deal or No Deal?
[4:34]
Wait.
Dan McCoy
[4:35]
Did you say Dead or Not Dead?
[4:37]
No.
Elliott Kalan
[4:38]
I was trying to say Dead or No Dead, but I actually said Dead or Not Dead.
[4:40]
But it sounded like Dead or Not Dead.
[4:42]
Yeah.
[4:43]
Sometimes you feel like a nut.
[4:44]
Sometimes you're dead.
[4:47]
Because you are allergic to nuts.
[4:49]
I'm going to name.
[4:51]
So, this is a game.
[4:52]
We're going to take turns.
[4:53]
And I'm going to name movies we've covered on the Flophouse.
[4:57]
And I want you folks to tell me if there is a ghost in that movie or not.
[5:02]
And if you get it right, you get a point.
[5:04]
And if you can tell me anything else about that movie, you get a bonus point.
[5:09]
Because sometimes we don't always remember these movies.
[5:11]
We're going to go back pretty far.
[5:12]
So, there's a lot of movies to go through.
Stuart Wellington
[5:14]
One might think that Hallie would be at a disadvantage, but I think people don't understand how little I remember of things.
[5:21]
Exactly.
[5:22]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[5:22]
Hallie is really getting a handicap from the fact that your memory is not great.
Stuart Wellington
[5:27]
Yeah.
[5:27]
And for what, the first like six years of the podcast, I think I recorded very drunk.
[5:33]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[5:34]
Yes.
[5:34]
Yes.
[5:35]
Exactly.
[5:35]
There was more drinking back in those days.
Stuart Wellington
[5:37]
Yeah.
[5:37]
No, no, no.
[5:38]
I mainly, yeah, I mainly have Dan blow cocaine up my ass.
Elliott Kalan
[5:43]
I was going to go the other way.
[5:44]
They say you're mostly drunk on a small selection of nuts and fruit now.
Dan McCoy
[5:47]
I can get a longer straw so you can do it for yourself.
Stuart Wellington
[5:50]
I just don't want to blow out my septum.
[5:53]
You do not want to do that.
[5:55]
No.
[5:55]
And it hits your bloodstream so fast when Dan's just puffing away down there.
[6:00]
Are you not worried about blowing out your rectum?
[6:03]
Have you seen my rectum?
Elliott Kalan
[6:05]
I have not.
[6:06]
That's a good point.
[6:07]
Rectum damn near killed him.
[6:09]
I haven't.
[6:10]
Anyway, so this episode is about ghosts.
[6:11]
So, let's talk about ghost stuff.
[6:13]
I'm going to start.
[6:16]
Okay.
[6:16]
I'm going to start with you, Hallie.
[6:17]
Can you tell me, in this Flophouse movie, was there a ghost or not a ghost?
[6:21]
Dear David.
[6:23]
Ghost.
Hallie Haglund
[6:24]
All right.
[6:24]
You got it right.
[6:25]
Can you tell me anything else about that movie?
[6:29]
I didn't like Kyle, the boyfriend.
Elliott Kalan
[6:33]
It's not really not the movie so much as your opinion.
[6:35]
I'll give you a point for that.
[6:37]
That's okay.
Dan McCoy
[6:38]
Hallie's out to a commanding early lead.
Elliott Kalan
[6:40]
Early lead, two to nothing.
[6:41]
But Dan, it's your turn.
[6:42]
Uh-oh.
[6:43]
I'm doing these movies, you'll notice, in reverse chronological order.
[6:45]
So, Dan, was there a ghost in Night Swim?
Dan McCoy
[6:49]
Yes, there was a ghost in Night Swim.
Elliott Kalan
[6:52]
Okay.
[6:52]
Can you tell me anything else about Night Swim?
Dan McCoy
[6:54]
Uh, it starred Wyatt Russell of the Russell dynasty of actors.
Elliott Kalan
[7:00]
You got that right.
[7:00]
Third generation Russell.
[7:01]
There's a lot of them.
[7:02]
Okay.
[7:03]
Uh, Stuart?
[7:05]
Yep.
[7:06]
Let's go back, all the way back now to episode 378.
[7:08]
Amityville in space.
[7:10]
Is there a ghost or not in that movie?
[7:11]
Oh, wow.
Stuart Wellington
[7:13]
Uh, I don't, I think they're demons or something.
Elliott Kalan
[7:16]
You're right.
[7:16]
They are demons or something.
[7:18]
It's not, it's super clear, but they're sung out of hellish evil.
[7:21]
There are no ghosts.
[7:22]
Can you tell me anything else about Amityville in space?
Stuart Wellington
[7:24]
Uh, I remember the sets were really cool and they used like normal computers for their
[7:32]
spaceship computers.
Elliott Kalan
[7:33]
I feel like that's kind of half a true thing and half a fake thing because I don't remember
[7:37]
the sets being so cool.
Dan McCoy
[7:39]
Okay.
[7:39]
Was it mostly like about a house that was floating through space?
[7:42]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[7:43]
Yeah.
[7:43]
Amityville in space, Dan.
[7:44]
The title says it all.
[7:45]
I know.
Dan McCoy
[7:46]
I just think it's funny that it's just like a house in space.
[7:49]
Yeah.
[7:49]
You know what?
Elliott Kalan
[7:49]
Just, just to even things up for the first round, Stuart, I'm going to give you a, I'm
[7:52]
going to give you a point for the used regular computers.
[7:55]
Thanks.
[7:55]
The futuristic space computer.
[7:57]
Okay.
[7:58]
Hallie, it's back to you.
[7:59]
Okay.
[7:59]
Episode 377, The Gray Man.
[8:03]
Are there ghosts in The Gray Man?
Hallie Haglund
[8:05]
Did I do this episode?
[8:07]
No.
[8:07]
Uh, okay.
[8:09]
Um.
[8:09]
Most of these episodes you did not do.
[8:10]
Okay.
[8:11]
It just, okay.
[8:11]
I'm glad.
Elliott Kalan
[8:12]
But it shows, it shows how well you've been paying attention to the show in general that
[8:14]
you couldn't remember whether you've done it or not.
Hallie Haglund
[8:15]
Oh, uh, I would say no.
Elliott Kalan
[8:18]
You're right.
[8:19]
There are no ghosts.
[8:20]
Can you tell me something about The Gray Man?
Hallie Haglund
[8:25]
Very muted color palette.
Elliott Kalan
[8:28]
Damn it, Hallie.
[8:29]
You're right.
[8:29]
I wish you weren't, but it is the case.
[8:33]
Okay.
[8:33]
Dan, your next episode.
[8:34]
You know what?
[8:35]
She's right.
[8:36]
She's right.
Dan McCoy
[8:37]
She's got it.
[8:37]
This puts me in my mind of, um, back in the day when we would be reviewed in the Onion
[8:42]
Navy Club.
[8:43]
There was, Hallie got quoted and, uh, her quote was, it was, she, it was as pink as
[8:49]
a pink girl's dress, a dress that is pink.
Elliott Kalan
[8:54]
Hallie has a way with describing colors so that you can just see them in your mind, you know?
[8:58]
Uh, Dan, let's go to episode 358.
[9:01]
Grand Isle.
Dan McCoy
[9:03]
Ooh, Grand Isle.
Elliott Kalan
[9:05]
Is there a ghost in Grand Isle?
Dan McCoy
[9:08]
No, I think this is just sort of a noir, uh, movie.
Elliott Kalan
[9:11]
You're right.
[9:12]
Can you tell me something else about Grand Isle?
Dan McCoy
[9:14]
Um, well, in the course of the erotic web of entanglements, uh, the female lead, uh, uses
[9:21]
her high heel to take the button off of a man's pants.
Elliott Kalan
[9:27]
You're right.
[9:28]
You remember that one.
[9:28]
I'm not surprised that that's the part you remember.
[9:30]
Yeah.
[9:31]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[9:31]
Well, it's, it's not just because of me.
[9:33]
That is the most interesting part of that movie.
Elliott Kalan
[9:36]
Yeah, that's true.
[9:37]
That's true.
[9:37]
Good, but you guys are doing great.
[9:38]
Okay.
[9:39]
Stuart, episode 354, The Unholy, ghost or no ghost?
[9:46]
It's gotta go ghost on this one.
[9:48]
Damn it.
[9:49]
I'm gonna say no ghost.
[9:53]
Oh, I'm so sorry, Stuart.
[9:55]
Someone is possessed by a ghost in that movie.
[9:57]
The ghost of a witch.
[10:00]
So, Stuart, do you want to tell me anything else about The Unholy to maybe make up a point?
Stuart Wellington
[10:06]
Uh, so there's characters in it.
[10:09]
Yeah.
[10:10]
That interact with each other.
[10:12]
Okay.
[10:12]
Tell me a little bit more.
[10:13]
They have relationships.
[10:14]
And.
[10:15]
Don't help him, Dan.
Elliott Kalan
[10:18]
Does somebody die?
[10:21]
You know what?
[10:22]
I'll give it to you.
Dan McCoy
[10:23]
Can I, can I ask you, Elliot, is this the one that's, uh, based on A Tale of Two Sisters,
[10:29]
the Korean film?
Elliott Kalan
[10:30]
Um, no, that, uh, that was a different one, I believe.
[10:35]
Yeah.
[10:35]
This is the one, or, you know what, or maybe it was a little bit.
[10:38]
I can't remember if it was or not.
[10:40]
Uh, and I was just looking this up yesterday.
[10:42]
Look it up.
[10:42]
You might be right.
[10:43]
Uh, Hallie, it's back to you.
[10:44]
Now, this is episode 353, an episode you were on, The Turning.
Hallie Haglund
[10:49]
Oh, uh, yes, there was a ghost.
Elliott Kalan
[10:52]
You got that right.
[10:53]
Yeah.
[10:53]
And give me a fact about that.
[10:55]
Something else you remember about that movie?
Hallie Haglund
[10:56]
Uh, didn't it star the girl who was in Halt and Catch Fire?
Elliott Kalan
[11:01]
Uh.
[11:02]
Yeah.
[11:02]
Mackenzie Davis.
[11:03]
Yeah.
[11:03]
Mackenzie Davis.
[11:04]
Okay.
[11:04]
You got, yep, that's right, it was Mackenzie Davis.
[11:06]
That's right.
[11:07]
It was an adaptation of The Turn of the Screw.
[11:09]
You know what?
[11:10]
Of course there's a ghost in that.
Dan McCoy
[11:11]
I think I was, uh, thinking of Uninvited, which was, uh, another on movie.
Elliott Kalan
[11:17]
Number 326, Uninvited, is literally the next one for you, Daniel.
[11:22]
Um, is, uh.
[11:25]
Is there a ghost in Uninvited?
Dan McCoy
[11:26]
I think there is a ghost.
Elliott Kalan
[11:28]
Nope.
[11:29]
Dan, you were thinking of the movie The Uninvited.
[11:32]
Uninvited is, of course, about a cat monster that is on a boat.
Dan McCoy
[11:35]
Yeah, I couldn't remember which one had the article and which one didn't have.
[11:39]
An article in it.
[11:41]
I can, I, do I get to tell you something about that movie?
[11:44]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[11:44]
Sure, you can tell me something about that movie for sure.
[11:46]
Regale us with tales of Uninvited.
[11:47]
It has, uh, George Kennedy in it.
Elliott Kalan
[11:49]
It does have George Kennedy in it.
[11:51]
So you do get a point for that, yes.
[11:52]
He ain't wrong.
[11:53]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[11:54]
Not wrong about that.
[11:55]
No, it's, uh, 100%.
[11:56]
If you, if you said George Kennedy wasn't in that movie, you would be a liar, sir.
[11:59]
Your pants would burst into flame.
Stuart Wellington
[12:01]
Mm-hmm.
[12:02]
Stuart.
[12:02]
I don't want that.
[12:02]
100 Pinocchios.
Elliott Kalan
[12:03]
You get a Pinocchio.
[12:07]
You get a Pinocchio.
[12:08]
You get a Pinocchio.
[12:09]
If you say George Kennedy wasn't in that movie.
Dan McCoy
[12:10]
I don't want a Pinocchio.
[12:11]
I got to take care of a kid now.
[12:13]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[12:14]
Well, he's not a real boy.
[12:14]
You just stuff him in the closet.
[12:16]
Wow.
[12:16]
He is a real boy.
[12:17]
Yeah, you say that shit to him.
[12:18]
That's so mean.
[12:19]
Say it to his face.
[12:22]
You're right.
[12:23]
You're right.
Elliott Kalan
[12:23]
The next time I see him, I won't be, I'll eat my words.
Stuart Wellington
[12:26]
I just got a text from Guillermo del Toro.
[12:28]
He said he's going to beat your ass.
[12:30]
I don't know.
Elliott Kalan
[12:32]
Can he do it in that cool house full of horror stuff?
[12:34]
Yes.
[12:35]
Yeah, he has a special room for it.
[12:38]
As long as he's beating my ass with a maquette from a horror movie.
[12:41]
That's what I want.
[12:42]
Yeah.
[12:42]
Stuart, it's up to you now.
[12:44]
Episode 325, the film was Fantasy Island.
[12:47]
Is there a ghost or no ghost in Fantasy Island?
Stuart Wellington
[12:50]
God damn it.
[12:51]
Ah, fuck.
Elliott Kalan
[12:53]
Yes, I think there's a ghost.
[12:55]
I think there's a ghost.
[12:56]
I'm so sorry, Stuart.
[12:58]
There are no ghosts in Fantasy Island.
[12:59]
But can you tell me anything else about the movie?
[13:01]
Michael Peñas.
[13:04]
You got it.
[13:04]
That is 100% Michael Peñas, 0% ghosts in Fantasy Island.
[13:09]
God damn it.
[13:10]
Okay, Hallie, now it's up to you.
[13:13]
Episode 323.
Hallie Haglund
[13:14]
How come they're all in the 300s?
Elliott Kalan
[13:16]
Oh, just because I have.
[13:17]
No, they won't be.
[13:18]
I'm just, I just, I have a lot of movies on here.
[13:19]
Okay, okay.
[13:20]
Episode 323.
[13:21]
Some of it is random sampling.
[13:22]
Some of it is just because we haven't gone through all the way.
[13:24]
Okay.
[13:24]
Episode 323.
[13:25]
Okay.
[13:26]
Deadly lessons.
[13:28]
Ghosts or no ghosts?
[13:30]
No ghosts.
[13:31]
You got it right.
[13:32]
No ghosts.
[13:32]
Tell me something about deadly lessons.
[13:36]
Hallie, so please.
Hallie Haglund
[13:37]
There's a knife.
Elliott Kalan
[13:39]
I actually don't think there's a knife in it.
[13:42]
I think there's just guns.
[13:44]
Could you guys remember if there are any knives in that one?
Dan McCoy
[13:46]
Wait, is that the one that we...
[13:49]
Is that with Jon Voight?
[13:50]
That we just watched?
[13:50]
It is with Jon Voight.
[13:51]
No, this is an older one with Jon Voight.
[13:53]
Oh, okay.
[13:54]
Wait, what?
[13:56]
It's not that one?
[13:57]
No, it's a different one.
Elliott Kalan
[13:58]
No, the one that we just watched was The Legacy Murder.
[14:00]
This is a dangerous game, right?
[14:01]
This is Simon Conjurer, right?
[14:03]
Yeah, this is the Simon Conjurer one.
[14:05]
Exactly, yeah.
Dan McCoy
[14:06]
Dangerous game and deadly lessons are all mixed up in my mind.
Elliott Kalan
[14:09]
Jon Voight only makes certain types of movies these days.
[14:11]
By these days, I mean the past 20 years.
[14:14]
Okay.
[14:15]
Yeah.
[14:16]
So, Dan, it's up to you.
[14:19]
The movie is.
[14:21]
Okay.
[14:21]
The game we've been doing.
[14:24]
Oh, thank God.
Stuart Wellington
[14:25]
I don't have to save the orphanage.
Elliott Kalan
[14:26]
It's not up to you to accomplish something or save somebody or anything like that.
[14:30]
Don't worry.
[14:30]
No, no.
[14:32]
I'm on a clip for that.
[14:33]
Dan, it's up to you to defeat Trump in November.
[14:35]
Oh, God.
Stuart Wellington
[14:37]
Dan, it's up to you to make a phone call with your phone and talk to a person.
Dan McCoy
[14:41]
I do think that Kamala Harris sent me an email to that effect, but I didn't open it.
Elliott Kalan
[14:47]
You didn't open it, Dan.
[14:49]
Oh, man.
[14:50]
So, when our democracy dies because you didn't open that email.
[14:53]
Okay.
[14:55]
Dan, this is episode 316.
[14:57]
We're almost done with 300s.
[14:58]
Uh-huh.
[14:58]
Between Worlds.
[15:00]
Ghost or no ghost.
Hallie Haglund
[15:01]
Oh, I watched this one, didn't I?
[15:03]
I think I did watch this one.
[15:04]
Did you watch this one?
[15:05]
Is this?
[15:06]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[15:08]
I think that there is a ghost in Between Worlds.
Elliott Kalan
[15:11]
You're right, Dan.
[15:12]
There is a ghost in Between Worlds.
[15:14]
It's another ghost possession movie.
[15:15]
Can you tell me anything else about Between Worlds?
Dan McCoy
[15:17]
Is this?
[15:18]
I believe Nicolas Cage has, the character that Nicolas Cage is playing has sex while reading poetry by Nicolas Cage.
[15:29]
Is that true?
[15:31]
Yes.
Elliott Kalan
[15:31]
That happened in that?
[15:32]
Yes.
[15:32]
It's also the one where Nicolas Cage, he's like dancing while a hose is being sprayed at him.
[15:37]
Yeah.
[15:37]
Yeah.
[15:38]
Oh, right.
[15:39]
This sounds way better than the movie I was thinking.
[15:41]
I don't think you saw.
[15:41]
So, this was Nicolas Cage and Franco Potente, right?
[15:44]
Were the stars of this one?
[15:45]
Yeah.
[15:45]
From Run, Lola, Run.
Hallie Haglund
[15:46]
I was thinking of that one with Kirsten Dunst.
[15:49]
That's something about towers.
[15:50]
Between Worlds.
Elliott Kalan
[15:51]
That was a…
[15:52]
Oh, yeah.
[15:53]
That's what I just said.
[15:54]
Yeah, that's the one you said.
[15:55]
Upside Down.
[15:55]
Upside Down.
[15:56]
Yeah, yeah.
[15:56]
I hated that movie.
[15:57]
Dan's like, no, no.
[15:58]
That wasn't Between Worlds.
[15:59]
That was Between Worlds.
[16:01]
And finally, for the 300s, this is our last one.
[16:04]
This is Stuart.
[16:05]
It's your turn.
[16:06]
Because, Dan, you just went, right?
[16:07]
The movie's called Stuart?
[16:09]
Yeah.
[16:09]
Oh, my God.
[16:10]
There's a ghost.
[16:11]
Stuart Little.
[16:12]
Is there a ghost in Stuart Little?
[16:13]
You're the ghost.
[16:16]
Dan, you were the one who just had Between Worlds, right?
[16:18]
Yes.
[16:18]
Yes.
[16:19]
So, Stuart, episode 301, Star Wars, The Rise of Skywalker.
[16:23]
Is there a ghost or is there not a ghost?
[16:28]
I feel like, yeah.
[16:30]
Yeah.
[16:31]
You're right, there is.
[16:32]
There's a force ghost in there.
[16:34]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[16:35]
His name is Lucas Skywalker.
[16:38]
Ooh.
[16:39]
Stuart, can you tell me something about The Rise of Skywalker, Star Wars, The Rise of Skywalker,
[16:42]
for an extra point?
Stuart Wellington
[16:44]
They kill, like, a whole lot of stormtroopers.
Elliott Kalan
[16:48]
They do.
[16:49]
I mean, that's just a Star Wars thing.
Stuart Wellington
[16:50]
And Palpatine's back for some reason.
[16:54]
Yeah, for some reason.
Elliott Kalan
[16:56]
Somehow Palpatine's back.
Stuart Wellington
[16:58]
And, like, we think Chewie's dead for a little bit.
[17:01]
For, like, half a scene.
[17:02]
Yeah.
[17:04]
Oh, and Babu Frick.
[17:05]
Babu Frick's in there.
[17:06]
Yeah.
[17:07]
Yeah, that's true.
[17:08]
Hey!
[17:08]
And I have the sweetheart.
Elliott Kalan
[17:09]
Babu Frick.
[17:11]
You remember a surprising amount of Star Wars.
[17:12]
I thought I was going to trip someone up with that.
[17:14]
They would say, Star Wars movies, there's no ghosts in there.
[17:16]
There are ghosts in Star Wars movies.
[17:17]
Yeah, they glow.
[17:19]
I'm going to do another round,
[17:21]
and then we're going to just talk about our,
[17:22]
have our sponsor break.
[17:23]
This is going to be a quick episode,
[17:25]
because you guys are really blazing through this new and great.
[17:26]
Hallie, episode 288,
[17:29]
The Haunting of Sharon Tate.
[17:31]
Ghost or no ghost?
[17:33]
Oh.
[17:34]
She's thinking about it.
Hallie Haglund
[17:36]
I'm going to say no ghost.
Elliott Kalan
[17:38]
Oh, you didn't fall for the trap.
[17:39]
You're right.
[17:40]
There's no ghost in that one.
[17:41]
It's the movie that implies that if Sharon Tate
[17:44]
had just tried a little harder,
[17:46]
she would not have been killed by the Manson family,
[17:48]
would have been able to turn the tables.
[17:49]
Can you tell us anything else about this movie?
[17:51]
She's pregnant.
Hallie Haglund
[17:53]
Now.
[17:54]
That's true.
[17:55]
That's a historic fact.
[17:56]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[17:56]
What's the titular haunting?
[17:58]
I forget this movie.
Elliott Kalan
[17:59]
The haunting is just that I think she's haunted by her fate.
[18:03]
Oh, okay.
[18:04]
Yeah, but there's no actual ghost.
[18:05]
But Dan, tell me.
Stuart Wellington
[18:06]
Oh, right, because she keeps thinking there's ghosts,
[18:08]
but it's not.
[18:09]
She's seeing visions of the future.
[18:10]
That's right.
[18:11]
Yes, yes, yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[18:12]
So, Dan, speaking of whether they're a ghost or not,
[18:15]
do you remember in episode 269, Friend Request,
[18:18]
is there a ghost?
Dan McCoy
[18:19]
Sorry, what quest?
[18:21]
Friend Request.
[18:22]
Friend Request?
[18:24]
I heard Friendle Quest.
Stuart Wellington
[18:27]
Yeah, Friendle Quest.
[18:29]
Like, it sounds like something we watched.
Dan McCoy
[18:33]
I believe there is a ghost in that one.
Elliott Kalan
[18:36]
Oh, you guys are too good.
[18:37]
There is a ghost in it.
[18:38]
Can you tell me anything else about Friend Request?
Dan McCoy
[18:40]
Yeah, fucking drop one of me.
[18:41]
Is this the one where a girl poops her pants in it?
[18:45]
No.
[18:46]
And they make fun of it?
[18:47]
Or is that unfriended?
[18:48]
That's unfriended.
[18:48]
Oh, man.
Hallie Haglund
[18:49]
Why did she poop her pants?
Elliott Kalan
[18:51]
She drank too much and pooped her pants.
[18:53]
Drank too much.
[18:53]
Yeah.
Hallie Haglund
[18:54]
There's a girl who did that in college.
Elliott Kalan
[18:57]
It wasn't me.
[18:58]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[18:58]
Yeah.
[18:58]
There was a Stuart that did that in college.
Elliott Kalan
[19:03]
And Stuart, for the end of this round, to go to, and then we'll go to the sponsor break.
[19:08]
Truth or Dare.
[19:09]
Is there a ghost in the movie Truth or Dare?
[19:12]
Truth.
[19:14]
Wait, wait.
[19:15]
That doesn't help on.
[19:17]
Oh.
[19:18]
I think that's a yes.
[19:19]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[19:20]
That's how I do it.
[19:20]
I think there's a ghost.
[19:21]
No, there is no ghost in Truth or Dare.
[19:23]
I'm sorry, Stuart.
[19:24]
But can you tell me anything else about Truth or Dare?
Stuart Wellington
[19:28]
Is that the one where if you play Truth or Dare wrong, you die?
Elliott Kalan
[19:34]
Not exactly, but kind of.
[19:35]
Did I trick the game master?
[19:39]
I'll give you a point.
[19:39]
It's the one where there's a demon's tongue in a pot, and it gets broken open.
[19:43]
And when they play Truth or Dare, the demon comes after them.
Dan McCoy
[19:45]
Yeah.
[19:46]
Oh, okay.
[19:47]
Yeah, it's kind of like a ring, it follows situation, but with Truth or Dare.
Stuart Wellington
[19:51]
But does it have a thing?
[19:52]
Is that the one where it's like, if it's coming after you, it's like Final Destination's you to death?
Dan McCoy
[20:00]
Yeah, a little bit.
[20:01]
I think your face goes all like smile kind of a little bit.
[20:04]
What?
Hallie Haglund
[20:06]
What if It Follows was just about a fart?
[20:09]
And they walked away.
Elliott Kalan
[20:11]
I think that's the subject of the movie.
[20:13]
That's the metaphor they're operating on.
[20:15]
I remember that issue of Marvel Comics.
[20:17]
What if, of the series What If.
[20:18]
What if it follows what's about a fart?
[20:22]
Okay, guys.
[20:23]
Let's take a quick break from the game.
Stuart Wellington
[20:25]
That's more of a what the type.
Elliott Kalan
[20:27]
Yeah, that's true.
[20:28]
That's a good point.
[20:29]
Let's take a quick break from the game just to remind our viewers that this episode is sponsored by Flop TV.
[20:34]
That's right.
[20:35]
Flop TV, the one-hour television show version of the Flophouse podcast.
[20:39]
You guys sponsor yourselves?
[20:40]
Yeah.
[20:41]
It costs us a lot of money.
[20:43]
Separate businesses.
Dan McCoy
[20:44]
We're really taking ourselves to the cleaners.
Elliott Kalan
[20:46]
Yeah.
[20:46]
Do you like the Flophouse podcast, but you wish you could see our sweet faces while we were talking?
[20:52]
Well, you're in luck.
[20:53]
Flop TV is here for you.
[20:54]
Just go to theflophouse.simpleticks.com, and you'll see the schedule and be able to buy tickets for Flop TV the first Saturday of the month, every month from September through February.
[21:04]
We are putting up all new episodes.
[21:06]
We are broadcasting them live over the internet the first Saturday of the month, 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Pacific.
[21:12]
But those episodes, they're recorded.
[21:15]
The video, it stays up online, and you can watch it whenever you want, as many times as you want, through the end of February, when we'll take those videos down and, I guess, eventually release them as a DVD set in 10 years or so when there's more seasons.
Stuart Wellington
[21:28]
But if you want to relive the rush of seeing us live, relive that high you got of seeing us live, you can watch it anytime you want, up until February.
Elliott Kalan
[21:37]
Anytime you want to.
[21:38]
And this being Flop TV Season 2, we're all about sequels this year.
[21:42]
We did Robocop 2.
[21:43]
We did Break-In 2.
[21:44]
The next episode, as of this episode, will be Caddyshack 2, then followed by Highlander 2, The Quickening, Ski School 2, and Ninja Turtles 2.
[21:52]
Finally, some good stuff.
Stuart Wellington
[21:54]
Ski School 2, right?
Elliott Kalan
[21:55]
We're going to have a lot of fun.
[21:56]
Every episode includes an all-original presentation.
[21:59]
We've been doing some fun stuff with video segments that each of us have taken turns doing.
[22:03]
Break-In 2, a lot of people learned a lot about breakdancing from my instructional video about that.
[22:07]
Yeah, thank you.
[22:08]
Yeah, and in Robocop 2, Dan gave us a very good roundup of the new robots that are out there right now.
[22:13]
I can't wait to see what Stuart has in store for us.
[22:16]
Just a little teaser.
Stuart Wellington
[22:17]
It's going to be something of a celebrity interview.
[22:20]
Oh, wow.
[22:21]
Interesting.
[22:21]
Amazing.
Elliott Kalan
[22:22]
So just go to theflophouse.simpleticks.com and get your tickets available for individual episodes, or you can get a season pass.
[22:31]
That's six episodes for the price of five.
[22:34]
It's worth doing.
[22:35]
And then you can go watch the old episodes, too, because you have access to them.
[22:38]
That's theflophouse.simpleticks.com for Flop TV.
Stuart Wellington
[22:42]
And I think there's still time if you are interested in supporting a small business.
[22:47]
Jiggle Studio is still up on Kickstarter.
[22:50]
Jiggle Studio is a size-inclusive, gender-inclusive, class-based gym studio where you can come in and learn Pilates, yoga, burlesque.
[22:59]
I think we have a hangover helper class in case you partied a little too hardy the night before.
[23:05]
It is a little project that my wife and some friends are putting together.
[23:09]
This is our first time opening a business in this space, so it's a little bit scary.
[23:13]
That's why we are doing some crowdfunding.
[23:15]
We have set up a Kickstarter where if you support us, you'll have access to some really cool merch, be part of the original Jiggle squad, get a portrait of your pet painted or drawn in workout clothes, all kinds of cool stuff.
[23:30]
We're really excited about this project.
[23:32]
It's really fun.
[23:33]
The space is really coming together well.
[23:34]
It's right next door to our bar minis, and it's going to be a big part of the community in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
[23:41]
And if you're not in Sunset Park but you still want to support, we thank you for it.
[23:45]
So just go over to Kickstarter and look for Open Jiggle Studios.
[23:50]
Wonderful.
[23:51]
Jiggle Studio, not studios.
[23:52]
That's a different thing.
Elliott Kalan
[23:54]
Just one.
[23:55]
There's just one.
[23:56]
Just one.
John Hodgman
[24:00]
What's up, people of the world?
[24:03]
It's Mark.
[24:04]
And Hal.
[24:05]
And We Got This With Mark and Hal.
[24:06]
The show that settles those pointless arguments that you and your friends have.
[24:11]
Should you put ketchup on a hot dog or liquid foam or bar soap?
[24:15]
And our 500th episode of We Got This With Mark and Hal is available now.
[24:18]
It is supersized and a ton of fun.
[24:20]
Yeah, we've got guests coming back from the entire 500-episode run of our show.
[24:27]
Some of your favorite MaxFun stars.
[24:29]
Some of your favorite regular out-in-other-places-in-the-world stars, too.
[24:33]
Some really fun surprises.
Stuart Wellington
[24:35]
And every single one of them had a topic for us to cover.
John Hodgman
[24:38]
You can listen to it right now on MaximumFun.org or wherever you get your podcasts.
S6
[24:44]
Hello, sleepyheads.
[24:46]
Sleeping with Celebrities is your podcast pillow pal.
[24:50]
We talk to remarkable people about unremarkable topics,
[24:54]
all to help you slow down your brain and drift off to sleep.
[24:58]
For instance, the remarkable actor Alan Tudyk.
John Hodgman
[25:02]
You hand somebody a yardstick after they've shopped at your general store.
[25:06]
The store's name is constantly in your heart because yardsticks become part of the family.
S6
[25:11]
Sleeping with Celebrities, hosted by me, John Moe,
[25:14]
on MaximumFun.org or wherever you get your podcasts.
[25:19]
Night-night.
[25:20]
Night-night.
Elliott Kalan
[25:22]
Okay, and we're back to this episode of Dead or No Dead.
[25:24]
How are we doing, by the way?
[25:25]
Where are the scores?
[25:26]
Oh, let's take a look.
[25:27]
Well, I'm just going to—thank you.
[25:28]
I'm going to get that.
[25:29]
Let me interrupt you.
[25:31]
We're back to this episode of Dead or No Dead,
[25:35]
the show that tells you whether Flophouse episodes had ghosts in them.
[25:38]
Looking at the scores,
[25:39]
Hallie is running away with the game with nine points,
[25:43]
and Dan and Stuart are tied for second place with seven points each.
[25:47]
So—
Hallie Haglund
[25:47]
Wow, and I'm not even a host of this show.
[25:50]
It's true.
Elliott Kalan
[25:51]
Seems strange.
[25:53]
It does seem strange.
[25:54]
Well, maybe things will change and not be so strange in round two.
Hallie Haglund
[25:58]
Can I ask a question?
[25:58]
Oh, rearrange.
[25:59]
Just before we do?
[26:00]
Yes.
[26:00]
Okay, the Flop TV stuff that you guys do,
[26:02]
is it just like this?
[26:04]
I mean, it's like this?
Elliott Kalan
[26:06]
No.
[26:07]
What do you mean, like a mini or—
[26:09]
Like, no, I mean like this is what they see?
[26:11]
Yes, yes, they see it on Zoom.
[26:12]
Yeah, they see it.
[26:12]
Well, there's more.
[26:14]
We have animated intros and outros.
[26:16]
We have some video stuff we've been doing.
[26:18]
We do presentations where we share the screen with—
[26:20]
So there's actually more and more as we go on.
[26:21]
My Zoom setup is lit properly.
[26:24]
Yeah.
[26:24]
It looks nicer.
[26:25]
But also, with each season, we become a little more professional.
[26:27]
We do a little bit more production.
[26:29]
That's cool.
[26:29]
Yeah.
[26:30]
Yeah.
[26:30]
We're kind of recreating television in the comfort of our own homes.
[26:34]
Somebody should.
[26:36]
Mm-hmm.
[26:37]
Eventually, we'll have commercials.
[26:39]
It'll be great.
[26:39]
Oh, wow.
[26:41]
So, getting back to this show, though, which is called Dead or No Dead,
[26:45]
it's back to Hallie.
[26:47]
Hallie.
[26:48]
Yes.
[26:48]
Can you tell me, in episode 248, the movie is Bright,
[26:53]
ghost or no ghost in that movie?
[26:54]
Bright?
[26:55]
Bright.
[26:57]
Ghost.
[27:00]
I'm sorry, Hallie.
[27:01]
I don't think there's a ghost in that one.
[27:02]
Do you guys remember there being a ghost in it?
[27:04]
Because I didn't.
[27:05]
But I suddenly got hit with a sort of dubious feeling about myself.
Dan McCoy
[27:09]
I mean, there's like a slim possibility because it is all about mythical creatures,
[27:13]
but they're more like fantasy creatures.
[27:14]
It was supposed to be his Star Wars, guys.
Elliott Kalan
[27:18]
Yeah.
[27:18]
It was supposed to be his Star Wars.
[27:19]
So, Hallie, what can you tell me about Bright?
Hallie Haglund
[27:22]
It was supposed to be his Star Wars.
Elliott Kalan
[27:25]
I'll give you a point for that.
[27:26]
You told me something about Bright.
[27:28]
Oh, no.
[27:29]
I tripped our hand.
[27:29]
Yeah, I messed up.
[27:30]
Okay.
[27:31]
Now, the next one is for Dan.
[27:32]
Yeah.
[27:32]
This is episode number 247.
[27:35]
I wonder if Wallace Shawn wrote this movie because it's called Inconceivable.
Dan McCoy
[27:39]
Oh, shit.
[27:41]
Okay.
[27:42]
Is this about someone?
[27:44]
I do remember this one.
[27:46]
There's no ghost in this.
Elliott Kalan
[27:48]
You're right.
[27:48]
There is no ghost in Inconceivable.
[27:50]
What can you tell me about the movie, though?
Dan McCoy
[27:52]
This is about, it's like a thriller.
[27:59]
There's problems with conception, which is why it's called Inconceivable.
[28:02]
Sure.
[28:03]
I'll give you that.
Elliott Kalan
[28:04]
Can you name any of the stars of Inconceivable?
Dan McCoy
[28:07]
Is Gina Gershon in that?
Elliott Kalan
[28:11]
I believe she is.
[28:12]
And I believe one, Nicolas Cage, if I'm remembering correctly, is also in that movie.
[28:15]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[28:16]
This game is kind of melting my brain, guys.
[28:19]
Really?
[28:20]
I just can't remember anything.
[28:22]
Well, maybe you'll remember this one, Stuart.
[28:24]
I mean, we've done so many of these.
Elliott Kalan
[28:28]
They're only going to get less so because the titles start to get a little generic as we
[28:31]
get earlier into the series.
[28:33]
Oh, no.
[28:34]
Stuart, but this one I'm sure you'll remember.
[28:36]
Episode 239, Ghost in the Shell.
[28:38]
Is there a ghost in this movie?
Stuart Wellington
[28:41]
I don't think so.
[28:42]
I would say no.
[28:43]
There's no ghost in that movie.
[28:43]
A very loose interpretation.
Elliott Kalan
[28:46]
Yes.
[28:46]
And can you tell me anything else about Ghost in the Shell, the movie we did?
Stuart Wellington
[28:51]
Let's see.
[28:51]
Well, let's see.
[28:54]
It's got Scarlett Johansson.
[28:56]
Yeah.
[28:56]
Yep.
Elliott Kalan
[28:56]
There you go.
[28:57]
Okay.
[28:57]
That's something about it.
Stuart Wellington
[28:58]
Some other folks.
[28:59]
Yep.
[29:00]
She plays in Android.
[29:02]
Uh-huh.
[29:02]
Major Kusanagi.
[29:05]
Sure.
[29:06]
And she blasts some guys.
Elliott Kalan
[29:08]
I feel like you're pulling from your general ghost in the shell knowledge at that point.
[29:11]
Yep.
[29:12]
Hallie, let's-
[29:13]
Yeah.
[29:13]
It's a little different than the animated one.
[29:16]
Yeah.
[29:16]
It's live action for one thing.
[29:17]
Yeah.
[29:19]
Hallie, it's your turn.
[29:20]
Can you tell me, the movie Home Sweet Hell, does it have a ghost in it?
[29:24]
Oh.
[29:24]
Home Sweet Hell.
[29:26]
Yes.
[29:27]
I'm so sorry.
[29:28]
It does not have a ghost in it.
[29:30]
Can you tell me anything about the movie Home Sweet Hell?
Hallie Haglund
[29:32]
How did I set it with a lot of confidence?
[29:33]
It would make it true.
[29:35]
That's true.
[29:35]
Yeah.
[29:35]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[29:36]
You were like, of course it does.
[29:37]
It's like karaoke that way.
[29:38]
Yeah.
Hallie Haglund
[29:40]
Home Sweet Hell.
[29:41]
Yeah.
[29:42]
Well, it stars Reese Witherspoon.
Elliott Kalan
[29:46]
You are so close.
[29:48]
Freddie, yeah.
[29:48]
That's actually pretty surprising.
[29:50]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[29:50]
Dan, tell-
[29:51]
So, Hallie, you get no points for that one.
[29:53]
Dan, tell Hallie who stars in Home Sweet Hell.
Dan McCoy
[29:55]
Katherine Heigl is in Home Sweet Hell.
[29:58]
Yes.
[29:58]
Oh, okay.
[29:59]
What is this about?
Stuart Wellington
[30:01]
I don't know.
[30:02]
Is that the one where she catches her husband cheating and she kills?
[30:05]
Yeah, is Patrick Wilson in it too?
[30:07]
I think so.
[30:08]
Sounds like it.
Elliott Kalan
[30:09]
The poster has her holding a knife, but she's kind of a smirk and Patrick Wilson's standing
[30:12]
behind her.
Stuart Wellington
[30:12]
And she's pretty good in it, if I remember.
[30:16]
Katherine Heigl?
[30:18]
Yeah, she's pretty good in it.
Hallie Haglund
[30:20]
It's possible.
[30:21]
I mean, she was great in My Father the Hero.
[30:24]
The Jet Li movie?
Elliott Kalan
[30:28]
So, Dan, now it's back to you.
[30:32]
Episode 216, The Gallows.
[30:34]
Is there a ghost in The Gallows?
Dan McCoy
[30:37]
I believe there is a ghost in The Gallows.
Elliott Kalan
[30:40]
I'm going to give it to you.
[30:42]
There is a ghost, but it's messy.
[30:44]
It's messy, the explanation of it.
[30:46]
But tell me something else about The Gallows.
Dan McCoy
[30:48]
I think that this is a found footage movie, and it involves high school theatrics.
Elliott Kalan
[30:56]
Right.
[30:57]
You got it.
[30:58]
I don't, I think it is, I can't remember if it is fully found footage or not, but it does
[31:02]
involve high school theatrics.
[31:03]
Yeah, I think maybe it is.
[31:04]
I think you're right.
Hallie Haglund
[31:05]
I'm kind of impressed that Dan has such a good memory.
[31:08]
He seems to be actually remembering this.
Elliott Kalan
[31:09]
He's got a great memory for the least useful thing.
Dan McCoy
[31:12]
No, this is what I was about to say.
[31:14]
Like, I feel shame about it because in my day-to-day life, like, Audrey is often frustrated by useful
[31:22]
stuff that I cannot remember.
[31:24]
And yet I have all of this in my head.
[31:24]
Yeah, that tracks, that's how I know you.
Stuart Wellington
[31:26]
That's the Dan I know.
[31:27]
There are people I know who are like, Dan doesn't remember my name after meeting me many times.
[31:33]
I'm like.
[31:34]
I'm sorry.
[31:35]
I.
Dan McCoy
[31:36]
But he can tell you all about.
Elliott Kalan
[31:37]
Yeah, be a bad movie.
[31:37]
That's just a power move, folks.
[31:39]
If you were The Gallows.
[31:40]
He remembers your name.
Dan McCoy
[31:41]
I learned late in life that I have neurodivergence.
[31:44]
Does that help?
[31:44]
Does that do anything for anyone?
[31:46]
Yeah.
[31:46]
I don't know.
[31:46]
Sure.
[31:47]
Yeah.
[31:47]
I mean.
[31:48]
It's fine.
[31:49]
It's fine.
[31:50]
No, that's the usual reaction people give.
Elliott Kalan
[31:54]
I mean, what is it supposed to do for me?
[31:56]
Like, turn me on?
[31:57]
Does it?
[31:59]
I'm sorry to say no, Dan.
[32:01]
Now it's Stuart's turn.
[32:03]
Stuart.
[32:03]
Uh-oh.
[32:04]
Episode 215.
[32:06]
The Lazarus Effect.
[32:08]
The Lazarus Effect.
[32:09]
Is there a ghost in this movie?
[32:12]
I don't think so.
[32:14]
You're right, Stuart.
[32:15]
There are no ghosts in The Lazarus Effect.
[32:16]
What can you tell me about that movie?
[32:18]
It's about bringing somebody back to life who died.
[32:21]
Olivia Wilde's in it.
Stuart Wellington
[32:23]
Olivia Wilde's in it.
Elliott Kalan
[32:24]
I mean, you're right.
[32:25]
It is about bringing someone back.
[32:26]
Is Olivia Wilde in it?
[32:27]
I can't remember.
[32:27]
Yeah.
[32:28]
Okay.
[32:28]
Is this like Flatliners?
[32:30]
That's what it is.
[32:31]
It is pretty much like Flatliners.
[32:32]
I might have watched.
[32:33]
Flatliners.
Stuart Wellington
[32:34]
Okay.
[32:34]
I think Olivia Wilde.
[32:36]
She's on the poster.
Elliott Kalan
[32:37]
Yeah.
[32:37]
I mean, if she's on the poster, it's a pretty good bet that she at least appears in the movie.
Dan McCoy
[32:40]
I think maybe one of the Duplasses in it.
[32:43]
You got a Duplass in it.
[32:45]
Mark.
[32:46]
Just one, though.
[32:47]
So it's a plus.
[32:48]
It's Mark, right?
[32:49]
I don't remember.
[32:49]
Probably.
[32:50]
It's probably not as Mark.
[32:50]
Elliot, you're the game master here.
[32:52]
You don't have any of this information?
Elliott Kalan
[32:54]
No, I don't have a full dossier on every movie right at my fingertips.
[33:00]
Hallie, it's up to you next.
[33:01]
Okay.
[33:02]
The movie is called Pay the Ghost.
[33:04]
Is there a ghost in it?
[33:05]
Yes.
[33:06]
You got that right.
[33:07]
There's a ghost.
[33:07]
Tell me something else about Pay the Ghost.
Hallie Haglund
[33:09]
It's all about the Benjamin's.
Dan McCoy
[33:14]
This ghost is making money moves.
Elliott Kalan
[33:17]
No.
[33:18]
Not at all.
[33:20]
So that's a missed point opportunity there.
[33:24]
But Hallie, it was Mark Duplass, so.
[33:26]
That was a pretty good guess.
[33:27]
There you go.
[33:28]
There you go.
Hallie Haglund
[33:28]
Can I have a point for Mark Duplass?
[33:30]
Nope.
Elliott Kalan
[33:31]
Not until we get to round three, which we're almost at.
[33:34]
Okay.
[33:35]
So.
[33:36]
Dan, you're next.
[33:38]
Yeah.
[33:39]
The movie is The Choice.
[33:40]
Is there a ghost in The Choice?
Dan McCoy
[33:42]
Oh, boy.
[33:43]
Here's the limits of it.
Elliott Kalan
[33:46]
This is episode 206, The Choice.
Dan McCoy
[33:49]
Wait.
[33:50]
Yes, I think there is a ghost in this.
Elliott Kalan
[33:51]
I'm so sorry, Dan.
[33:52]
There are no ghosts in The Choice.
[33:54]
Can you tell me something else about the movie, though?
Dan McCoy
[33:57]
Maybe it's not the one I thought it was.
[34:01]
Someone makes a choice in this film.
Stuart Wellington
[34:04]
Stuart, you want to say something?
[34:04]
Is this a Nicholas Sparks one?
[34:06]
Is this the one with the guy from Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter?
[34:10]
I believe it is.
Elliott Kalan
[34:11]
Yes, I think this is the Nicholas Sparks Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter one.
[34:15]
But that doesn't help Dan at all.
[34:17]
Too late now.
Dan McCoy
[34:17]
See, I got confused with another Nicholas Sparks one that might come up later, so I won't say
[34:21]
anything about it.
Elliott Kalan
[34:22]
Don't say anything about it.
[34:23]
Perhaps it's on the list.
[34:24]
So that's now, Stuart.
[34:26]
It's your turn.
[34:27]
The movie is episode 190, Ouija.
[34:30]
Is there a ghost in Ouija?
[34:32]
There's got to be a ghost in Ouija, right?
[34:35]
There is a ghost in Ouija.
Stuart Wellington
[34:36]
Can you tell me anything about that movie?
[34:39]
Ouija.
[34:40]
It's about a photographer, right?
[34:42]
No.
[34:45]
You're thinking of the public eye.
Elliott Kalan
[34:46]
Man of culture over here.
Stuart Wellington
[34:48]
Just pointing that out.
[34:50]
Yeah, I think some kids play a Ouija board to disastrous consequences.
Elliott Kalan
[34:57]
I don't know if I really should.
Stuart Wellington
[34:58]
I'll give you that one, but I feel like you don't deserve it.
Elliott Kalan
[35:03]
Okay, guys.
[35:04]
This might be where Dan starts to dominate.
[35:06]
I think I'm going to introduce a rule change for what's now round three.
[35:09]
Oh, no.
[35:09]
Now, should we do it where you guys can steal points by saying things you remember about
[35:15]
different movies?
[35:16]
I'm going to say this is unfair to Hallie.
[35:17]
That's not true.
[35:17]
I got Mark Duplass.
[35:19]
Okay, that's true.
[35:19]
Okay, so we'll do it.
[35:20]
So now, if someone cannot think of something about their movie, one of the other players
[35:25]
can jump in and steal, okay?
[35:27]
Okay.
[35:28]
Okay.
[35:28]
Okay.
[35:28]
And we start with Hallie.
[35:30]
Deliver Us From Evil, episode 189.
[35:33]
Is there a ghost in it?
[35:35]
No.
[35:35]
You're right.
[35:36]
There is no ghost.
[35:37]
What can you tell us about it?
Hallie Haglund
[35:40]
There's a church in it.
Elliott Kalan
[35:44]
I actually don't think there's a church in it.
Stuart Wellington
[35:47]
This one's got Eric Bana, and it's based on a true story about a police detective who
[35:52]
dealt with a lot of that.
[35:53]
Oh, shit.
[35:54]
You're right.
Elliott Kalan
[35:55]
It's a true story of a police detective dealing with the devil.
[35:59]
There's no church in it?
[36:01]
I don't think there's a church in it.
Hallie Haglund
[36:02]
Oh, he doesn't even know, and he's positive.
[36:04]
That's what I'm saying.
[36:05]
I remember there being a zoo in it.
Elliott Kalan
[36:06]
I remember there being an apartment in it.
[36:08]
Okay.
[36:09]
Listeners, write in.
[36:10]
Is there a church in it?
[36:11]
If there's a church, write in.
[36:13]
I'll put an asterisk next to the score in the scorebooks for this one.
[36:16]
Thank you.
Dan McCoy
[36:17]
I'm there.
[36:18]
We'll send Hallie a quarter.
[36:20]
Okay.
[36:21]
Dan?
[36:22]
Dan?
[36:23]
Maybe you remember this one.
Elliott Kalan
[36:25]
Unfriended.
[36:26]
Is there a ghost in Unfriended?
Dan McCoy
[36:28]
Yes, there is a ghost in Unfriended.
[36:30]
There is a ghost in Unfriended.
[36:31]
What else can you tell me about Unfriended?
[36:32]
This is the poop pants movie.
Elliott Kalan
[36:35]
This is the one where the girl pooped her pants and was so ashamed that she took her own
[36:40]
life and is now a ghost attacking her friends.
[36:42]
Yes.
[36:42]
Yeah.
[36:44]
So that's the famous poop pants ghost movie.
[36:48]
Stuart, the next one's for you.
[36:50]
Episode 187, Fateful Findings.
[36:53]
Is there a ghost in Fateful Findings?
[36:55]
Fuck.
Stuart Wellington
[36:57]
There probably is, right?
[36:59]
Wait, let me work through this.
[37:05]
No?
[37:06]
I'm so sorry, Stuart.
Elliott Kalan
[37:08]
It's not related to the plot.
[37:09]
It just kind of appears every now and then, but there is a ghost.
[37:12]
There's that gloving thing.
[37:13]
It just kind of whooshes across the screen.
[37:14]
Stuart, can you tell me anything else about Fateful Findings?
[37:15]
This man has so many laptops, Elliot.
[37:18]
He can't get enough of them.
[37:19]
That's true.
[37:20]
He has three laptops never turned on and he just sweeps them off his table at a moment's
[37:25]
notice.
[37:25]
What a movie.
[37:27]
What a piece of work.
Stuart Wellington
[37:28]
Have you seen Twisted Pairs?
[37:31]
No, I still haven't seen Twisted Pairs yet.
[37:32]
Elliot, it's crazy.
[37:34]
I know.
[37:34]
I got to see it.
[37:35]
Elliot, you'll love it.
Dan McCoy
[37:37]
I don't think that's his most recent one.
[37:38]
This is his most recent one, Cade the Tortured Cross.
Stuart Wellington
[37:40]
Oh, my mistake.
[37:42]
Cade the Tortured Cross.
Dan McCoy
[37:42]
Also, it's Fateful Findings.
[37:46]
You were saying Faithful Findings, but findings are fateful.
Stuart Wellington
[37:50]
I said fateful findings.
[37:52]
I think I'm just not speaking clearly.
[37:54]
Okay.
[37:54]
Elliot, next time you do a family movie night, just fire up Cade the Tortured Cross.
[37:59]
Yeah, fire it up.
Elliott Kalan
[38:00]
That's what I'll show them.
[38:01]
Get it off the red box.
[38:02]
When the kids demand to see Pee-wee's Big Adventure again, I'll say, no, no.
[38:06]
I've got a different man-boy that we're going to see the adventures of.
[38:10]
Okay.
[38:11]
Stuart, great work on that one.
[38:13]
Thank you.
[38:14]
Now, episode 162.
[38:16]
Hallie, this is for you.
[38:17]
Yes.
[38:17]
The Quiet Ones.
[38:19]
Is there a ghost in The Quiet Ones?
[38:23]
Yes.
[38:24]
I'm so sorry.
[38:25]
There are no ghosts in The Quiet Ones.
[38:27]
Can you tell me anything about it, though?
[38:31]
There's an old lady.
[38:34]
I'm so sorry.
[38:34]
I don't believe there's an old lady either.
[38:36]
It's about, I think, a professor and a group of college students, right?
[38:39]
Does anyone have a—
Dan McCoy
[38:40]
Does this one have Jared Harris in it?
[38:42]
You got it, Dan.
Elliott Kalan
[38:43]
Flophouse fave.
[38:44]
Jared Harris appears in it.
[38:46]
Okay.
[38:47]
Dan, it's up to you.
[38:49]
Episode 145.
[38:51]
RIPD.
[38:52]
Are there any ghosts in RIPD?
Dan McCoy
[38:54]
I think there's a shit ton of ghosts in RIPD.
Elliott Kalan
[38:56]
There are a shit ton of ghosts.
[38:58]
You're right.
[38:58]
He's getting all the easy ones.
[39:00]
Yeah, Dan has—
Hallie Haglund
[39:01]
He's already best at this game, and he gets the easy ones.
Elliott Kalan
[39:05]
I know.
[39:05]
I'll try to change the random distribution next time.
[39:10]
Okay, so give us a fun fact about it.
[39:12]
What's a fun fact about RIPD?
Dan McCoy
[39:14]
It's got Jeff Bridges and I think Ryan Reynolds,
[39:18]
and they're sort of like Men in Black for ghosts, basically.
Elliott Kalan
[39:22]
You got that right.
[39:23]
They're Men in Black for ghosts.
[39:24]
Instead of the MIB, it's the RIPD.
[39:27]
Stuart, it's up to you.
[39:29]
Episode 127, Safe Haven.
[39:31]
Is there a ghost or no ghost in Safe Haven?
Stuart Wellington
[39:34]
What was the number of the episode?
Elliott Kalan
[39:36]
127.
[39:36]
Don't look it up.
Stuart Wellington
[39:37]
That'll crack it wide open.
Dan McCoy
[39:41]
Safe Haven, eh?
[39:42]
Safe Haven.
[39:44]
Safe Haven.
Elliott Kalan
[39:44]
I'd have to say there is a ghost.
[39:51]
You're right.
[39:52]
There is a ghost.
[39:53]
What else can you tell me about the movie?
[39:55]
There are actors.
[39:56]
Mm-hmm.
Stuart Wellington
[39:58]
It has a runtime.
[39:59]
Yeah.
[40:00]
Yeah.
[40:00]
Okay.
[40:01]
These aren't really fun facts.
[40:02]
Color or black and white?
[40:03]
It's a color film.
[40:06]
It's a talkie.
[40:07]
English language.
[40:07]
Yeah.
[40:08]
It's English language, yeah.
Hallie Haglund
[40:12]
I'm going to steal.
[40:13]
Somebody can steal.
[40:14]
Allie, steal it.
[40:14]
Steal it.
[40:14]
There's a pregnant woman.
[40:17]
Is there a pregnant woman in it?
Dan McCoy
[40:19]
I can't remember.
[40:20]
I can't.
[40:21]
Is this the…
[40:22]
I don't think it is.
[40:25]
Is this the one with Kobe Smulders in it?
Elliott Kalan
[40:28]
Stuart, I'm going to give you a point for that.
[40:29]
It is the other Nicholas Sparks movie.
[40:30]
That's right.
[40:31]
This is the one where…
[40:32]
This is the one Dan was thinking of earlier, where it turns out she was a ghost, right?
[40:36]
Is she pregnant?
Dan McCoy
[40:37]
She's helping her husband find a new love.
[40:43]
Find a new love, yes.
Elliott Kalan
[40:44]
Yeah.
[40:44]
From beyond the grave.
[40:46]
To get her pregnant.
[40:47]
Is she…
[40:47]
Look it up, Hallie.
[40:48]
If there's a pregnant woman in it, then I will take away Stuart's…
[40:51]
What's it called?
[40:52]
Safe Haven.
[40:53]
And then I've got another movie for you after that, Hallie.
Hallie Haglund
[40:56]
Okay.
[40:59]
This is going to take a lot of work.
Dan McCoy
[41:00]
Does Safe Haven have a pregnant woman in it?
[41:03]
Google.
Elliott Kalan
[41:04]
Why don't you answer episode 107?
Hallie Haglund
[41:06]
With the help of Alex and his children, someone had to have been pregnant.
Elliott Kalan
[41:10]
Someone was pregnant at some point in the backstory.
[41:14]
So, Hallie, what about episode 107, Ghost Rider, Spirit of Vengeance?
[41:18]
Is there a ghost or no ghost?
Hallie Haglund
[41:20]
There's a ghost.
[41:22]
There's not.
[41:25]
Okay.
Elliott Kalan
[41:25]
I'll give it to you.
[41:26]
There's no ghost in it.
[41:27]
A ghost rider.
[41:29]
I'll give it to you.
[41:30]
That not is an effective way to make a statement.
[41:33]
Well, wait.
Dan McCoy
[41:33]
Hold on.
[41:34]
What do we call Johnny Blaze?
[41:37]
Is he like a Revenant?
Elliott Kalan
[41:38]
Johnny Blaze, yeah, he's like, I would call him more of like the living dead than like a ghost
[41:43]
because he's got a physical body, right?
[41:45]
Is he a spirit of vengeance?
[41:46]
Yeah.
[41:47]
Well, and of course, the spirit of vengeance is, of course, the demon Zarathos, which inhabits
[41:52]
the body and turns him into it.
[41:53]
But yeah, I would say no ghost.
[41:55]
What else can you tell me about Ghost Rider, Spirit of Vengeance, Hallie?
Stuart Wellington
[42:00]
Sorry, I'm scanning through all the pictures of Safe Haven on IMDb to see if there's one
[42:05]
where I'm like, is that a baby bump?
[42:09]
Is he touching her tummy in a weird way?
Hallie Haglund
[42:12]
It's about a writer.
[42:15]
A writer, you said?
Elliott Kalan
[42:16]
Oh, sorry.
[42:18]
Dan Stewart, you want to steal this?
[42:19]
Take a point?
[42:20]
Is there something about Ghost Rider, Spirit of Vengeance, you can tell me?
Dan McCoy
[42:23]
Was this, I believe this was directed by the people behind Crank.
[42:29]
Neville Dean and Taylor.
[42:31]
Is this true?
Elliott Kalan
[42:32]
Look it up.
[42:32]
I don't know.
Dan McCoy
[42:33]
Okay, I'll look it up.
[42:34]
I don't remember.
[42:36]
I shall.
Elliott Kalan
[42:36]
But while he's looking it up, Stuart, this is your chance to steal from Dan's steal.
[42:40]
Ghost Rider.
Stuart Wellington
[42:41]
Oh, man, I don't remember this one.
[42:44]
Is Idris Elba in it?
[42:45]
I don't remember.
Dan McCoy
[42:46]
Yes, it is by the directors of Crank.
[42:50]
Was I right, too?
[42:51]
Was Idris Elba in it?
Elliott Kalan
[42:52]
I don't think Idris Elba was in it.
Dan McCoy
[42:53]
Yes, he was.
[42:55]
Who does he play in it?
[42:57]
Moreau.
Elliott Kalan
[42:58]
Okay, don't know who that is.
[42:59]
So, Dan, you're next.
Hallie Haglund
[43:01]
You're not going to give Stuart a point for the Idris Elba?
Elliott Kalan
[43:04]
Well, Dan had already got, all right, I'll give him one.
[43:06]
You're hurting yourself here, Hallie.
Hallie Haglund
[43:07]
I know, but I just want to take care.
Elliott Kalan
[43:10]
You're just such a friend.
[43:11]
You like it to be fair.
[43:12]
You like it to be fair.
[43:12]
I'm into it.
[43:13]
Yeah.
[43:13]
Yeah.
Hallie Haglund
[43:13]
I believe in justice.
Elliott Kalan
[43:17]
Dan, this one's for you.
[43:18]
Episode 96, Dreamhouse.
[43:20]
Ghost or no ghost?
Dan McCoy
[43:23]
I think that there are ghosts in Dreamhouse.
Elliott Kalan
[43:26]
You're right.
[43:26]
There's ghosts.
[43:27]
What else can you tell me about Dreamhouse?
Dan McCoy
[43:29]
I believe this is a film where Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz fell in love.
[43:34]
You're right, it is.
Elliott Kalan
[43:35]
That's the only thing I can remember about it, too.
[43:36]
Yeah, because they're so fucking hot.
[43:39]
He or she?
[43:41]
They're both so hot.
[43:41]
They're both hot.
[43:42]
Oh, yeah.
[43:42]
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz?
[43:43]
Come on.
[43:44]
I know.
[43:44]
Do I have to choose?
Hallie Haglund
[43:44]
Well, I didn't, I was asking which one Stuart was saying.
Elliott Kalan
[43:47]
I think they both are.
[43:49]
Yeah, okay.
[43:50]
Yeah.
[43:50]
That's great.
Dan McCoy
[43:51]
All right, fine.
Hallie Haglund
[43:52]
They're both hot.
[43:53]
Okay, then.
[43:54]
Okay, sure.
[43:54]
Okay, go ahead.
Elliott Kalan
[43:55]
Back off.
[43:55]
Okay.
[43:56]
One ticket for queer, please.
[44:00]
Now it's up to you, Stuart.
[44:01]
Episode 67.
[44:03]
Yes.
[44:03]
The Uninvited.
[44:05]
Not Uninvited.
[44:06]
A movie we talked about earlier, but The Uninvited.
Stuart Wellington
[44:08]
Definitely a ghost.
[44:10]
I'm so sorry to tell you this, Stuart.
Elliott Kalan
[44:13]
I don't think there's a ghost in that movie.
[44:14]
Is there?
[44:15]
Dan, remind me.
[44:16]
Well, is there a ghost story?
[44:18]
It's those creepy sisters, right?
[44:19]
But is one of them a ghost?
[44:19]
I can't remember.
Dan McCoy
[44:21]
I think there is a ghost in that.
Hallie Haglund
[44:24]
Why didn't you look this stuff up if you designed this game?
Elliott Kalan
[44:27]
I did look it up, but to be honest, I didn't remember everything.
[44:30]
It was very late last night that I was doing it.
Stuart Wellington
[44:31]
They're a ghost in The Uninvited.
Elliott Kalan
[44:37]
The thing is, there's also a 40s movie called The Uninvited, which is about a ghost, which
[44:41]
is unrelated.
Stuart Wellington
[44:43]
Oh, no.
[44:44]
It got me.
[44:45]
Okay.
[44:47]
We find out that, well, wait a minute.
[44:51]
Alex is not a real person, but a manifestation of Anna's disturbed mind.
[44:56]
Yes, so not a ghost.
[44:57]
Essentially making her a ghost.
[44:58]
No, I don't think so.
[44:59]
In the sense that she is a figment of Anna's imagination.
[45:02]
And I'm like, oh, that's not a ghost.
[45:04]
That's not what a ghost is.
[45:05]
Ghosts are real.
[45:06]
So, Stuart.
[45:06]
Yeah.
[45:07]
But, Stuart, you just showed me your reason.
[45:08]
Do you think the Ghostbusters would show up and, like, suck up Paul Bettany in A Beautiful
[45:12]
Mind?
[45:12]
I don't think so.
Elliott Kalan
[45:13]
Like the Ghostbusters, like, we've got a drop-dead Fred situation?
[45:16]
I don't think so.
[45:17]
Uh-huh.
[45:18]
So, Stuart, no point for that, but I am going to give you a point for your fast research skills
[45:21]
of looking up the plot so quickly.
[45:23]
Yes.
[45:23]
Yes.
[45:25]
Now it's up to you, Hallie.
[45:26]
Okay.
[45:27]
Episode 47, The Unborn.
[45:31]
Ghost or no ghost.
[45:32]
In The Unborn.
[45:34]
Not a movie about abortion.
[45:35]
Don't get sidetracked.
Hallie Haglund
[45:36]
Oh, that's what I was thinking.
[45:38]
Um.
Elliott Kalan
[45:42]
Yes.
[45:43]
You got it.
[45:43]
There was a ghost in that one.
[45:45]
Can you tell me anything else about The Unborn?
Hallie Haglund
[45:47]
There is a white man.
Elliott Kalan
[45:57]
Yeah.
[45:57]
Technically true.
[45:58]
I guess I'll give you that.
[45:59]
That's a pretty big.
[46:00]
That's a fun fact.
Dan McCoy
[46:01]
I believe that this is the rare film that is about a Dybbuk.
[46:04]
Is that correct?
[46:04]
The Dybbuk movie, right?
[46:05]
It is about a Dybbuk.
Elliott Kalan
[46:06]
This is the movie that was, where the poster is entirely around a woman's butt, too.
[46:11]
Yeah.
[46:11]
Remember, she's looking in the mirror.
[46:12]
Underpants.
[46:12]
In underpants.
[46:13]
She's looking in the mirror, but most of the poster is about the fact that she's not wearing
[46:16]
outer pants, but not underpants.
[46:18]
But this is about a Dybbuk.
[46:19]
That's true.
[46:19]
What is a Dybbuk?
[46:20]
A Dybbuk is a Jewish ghost, basically.
[46:22]
Oh.
[46:23]
You know.
[46:24]
Dan, it's up to you.
[46:26]
Yeah.
[46:26]
Right, your turn.
[46:27]
Episode 36, The Spirit.
[46:30]
Oh, God.
[46:30]
Is there a ghost or no ghost in The Spirit?
Dan McCoy
[46:35]
Well, okay.
[46:38]
So, the character, The Spirit, didn't he die?
[46:44]
But I don't think he's technically a ghost, so I'm going to say no.
Elliott Kalan
[46:47]
You're right.
[46:48]
There's no ghost.
[46:48]
He did die and was brought back by chemicals.
[46:51]
Okay.
[46:52]
He is not really a ghost, although maybe it's ambiguous sometimes.
[46:55]
Who knows?
[46:56]
Did you say chemicals?
[46:57]
Yeah, chemicals.
[46:58]
Okay.
[46:58]
Can you tell me anything else about The Spirit?
Dan McCoy
[47:00]
Well, this was a Frank Miller-made movie, so there are a bunch of swastikas around for
[47:06]
no reason.
Elliott Kalan
[47:07]
You got that right.
[47:08]
That's very true.
[47:10]
Stuart, okay.
[47:11]
Here's a movie that you're kind of associated with.
[47:13]
Episode 34, Mirrors.
[47:15]
Ghost or no ghost?
[47:18]
Ghosts.
[47:19]
I'm so sorry.
[47:19]
There are no ghosts in mirrors.
[47:21]
They're fucking demons.
[47:22]
They're demons, yes.
[47:23]
And what can you tell me about the movie Mirrors, other than they're demons?
Stuart Wellington
[47:27]
So, at the end, someone's looking at a mirror.
[47:34]
Yeah.
[47:35]
And Kiefer Sutherland's looking at himself in a mirror.
[47:38]
Yeah.
[47:39]
Or something.
[47:40]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[47:41]
Yeah.
[47:41]
Because he's in the mirror world.
[47:43]
That's why.
[47:43]
What?
[47:45]
No, he's in the mirror.
[47:47]
But wait.
[47:48]
He's a...
[47:48]
Come on.
[47:51]
So, he's in there.
[47:52]
But...
[47:53]
Really?
[47:55]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[47:56]
Wait, he's in the mirror.
Elliott Kalan
[47:58]
Yeah.
[47:58]
I feel like I'm high.
[47:59]
This is crazy.
[48:01]
This was a Flophouse callback classic.
[48:03]
You're welcome.
[48:04]
Yeah.
[48:05]
Okay.
[48:05]
It's the last round, guys.
[48:07]
We're going to go one more across everybody.
[48:09]
The scores have really changed in this one.
[48:11]
Hallie had an early lead.
[48:12]
Her lead is not quite as commanding in the fact that she's no longer in the lead anymore.
[48:17]
But we'll see what happens.
[48:19]
Hallie, episode 19.
[48:20]
The movie is called Premonition.
[48:22]
Ghost or no ghost?
[48:25]
No ghost.
[48:25]
You're right.
[48:26]
There's no ghost in Premonition.
[48:27]
What can you tell me about it?
[48:28]
Anything?
[48:29]
Bruce Willis.
[48:30]
Loved it.
[48:33]
Just that he enjoyed the movie.
[48:35]
I mean, there's no way of knowing for sure.
[48:37]
That's a fun fact.
[48:37]
I'll give you a point for that, I guess.
Dan McCoy
[48:39]
That's a Sandy Bullock movie, right?
[48:40]
It is a Sandy Bullock movie, yeah.
[48:42]
That's one with the bro.
Elliott Kalan
[48:43]
Yeah, she's foreseeing her husband's death.
[48:45]
And at the end, she just kind of has to let it happen.
[48:48]
Dan?
[48:48]
Yeah.
[48:49]
Episode 12.
[48:51]
Awake.
Dan McCoy
[48:52]
Ghost or no ghost?
[48:53]
Oh, God.
[48:55]
No ghost.
Elliott Kalan
[48:57]
You're right.
[48:58]
No ghost.
[48:58]
What else can you tell me about it?
Dan McCoy
[49:00]
This is about a guy who they think he's dead, but he's just sort of like, he's got some
[49:07]
sort of medical condition that's paralyzing him.
Elliott Kalan
[49:10]
Yep.
[49:10]
You got it.
[49:11]
And who's that guy?
[49:11]
Do you remember?
Dan McCoy
[49:13]
Was that, what's his face?
[49:16]
Anakin Skywalker?
[49:17]
It was.
[49:17]
It was.
[49:17]
What's his face?
Elliott Kalan
[49:18]
Anakin Skywalker.
[49:19]
Somebody who hates sand.
[49:20]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[49:21]
I forget his name.
[49:23]
Hayden Christians.
[49:24]
Yeah, that's the guy.
Elliott Kalan
[49:25]
And so, Stuart, finally, the last one is for you.
[49:27]
This is for the end of the game.
[49:30]
Episode 8.
[49:32]
I know who killed me.
[49:33]
Ghost or no ghost?
[49:36]
No ghost.
[49:37]
You're right.
[49:38]
No ghost.
[49:38]
What can you tell me about episode 8?
[49:40]
This is a movie we covered over 15 years ago.
Stuart Wellington
[49:43]
The killer uses blue glass knives.
Elliott Kalan
[49:48]
That's true.
[49:49]
An incredibly fragile way to kill somebody.
Stuart Wellington
[49:51]
What a movie.
Dan McCoy
[49:53]
That robot hand in there.
Stuart Wellington
[49:54]
There's a robot hand.
[49:56]
It is kind of like a giallo.
[49:58]
It played way better on the big screen than on the small screen.
[50:04]
Well.
[50:04]
At one point, I think the movie opens with Lindsay Lohan doing a striptease to a Melvin song.
[50:12]
That's all.
[50:12]
I mean.
[50:13]
You're welcome.
Elliott Kalan
[50:13]
You've given me so many.
[50:14]
You've given me so many facts.
[50:15]
I could only give you one point.
[50:16]
But you really figured out that movie.
[50:18]
So, we're looking at the final scores for the game.
[50:22]
And here's what we have.
[50:24]
Wait one sec.
Dan McCoy
[50:25]
Okay.
[50:25]
Well, I'll just do a little music while Elliot does it.
Elliott Kalan
[50:27]
Okay.
[50:29]
That's all the music I needed.
[50:30]
Wait.
[50:30]
Do a little bit more.
[50:32]
All right.
[50:32]
All right.
Elliott Kalan
[50:32]
All right.
[50:35]
I'm a bitch.
[50:36]
I'm a lover.
[50:39]
I'm a ghost.
[50:40]
I'm a lover, but a ghost.
[50:44]
I'm your mother.
[50:48]
Here are the final scores.
[50:50]
That was what a game.
[50:51]
You guys really remembered more about these movies than I thought you were going to.
[50:54]
I always thought there was going to be a lot more.
[50:55]
Uh, what?
[50:56]
Huh?
[50:56]
What is that?
[50:57]
But everyone did really well.
[50:59]
Hallie, you unfortunately came in third with 17 points.
[51:03]
Very respectable showing.
Dan McCoy
[51:04]
I mean, that's amazing considering you're not here for many of those movies.
Elliott Kalan
[51:08]
One of those points was, I gave you a point for saying that Bruce Willis liked the movie
[51:12]
from Inition.
[51:13]
But setting that aside, 17 points.
[51:16]
That's great.
[51:18]
Dan.
[51:19]
She earned that one.
[51:21]
Dan, you have 22 points.
[51:23]
And Stuart, you are tied with Dan with 22 points.
[51:27]
Dan and Stuart tied.
[51:28]
Whoa.
[51:29]
Equal movie knowledge.
[51:30]
Equal hosts.
[51:31]
Perfect.
[51:31]
Perfect.
[51:31]
Perfect.
[51:32]
Perfect.
[51:32]
So you are both tied for second place.
[51:34]
I would, of course, have been in first place had I been playing.
[51:36]
But since I wasn't, we'll just assume I got like 45 points.
[51:39]
Yeah.
[51:39]
Dan is pissed right now.
Stuart Wellington
[51:41]
He is like a sports fan in Philadelphia.
[51:44]
Look out, Audrey.
Elliott Kalan
[51:44]
I mean, the listeners know.
[51:45]
Dan's on the Warpath today.
[51:47]
I am so, look, the only thing that would have made me happier with this outcome is if Hallie
[51:51]
somehow sped ahead and won the whole game.
[51:53]
But it makes me so happy that Dan and Stuart tied because it's like a balance has been restored
[51:59]
to the universe.
[52:01]
Neither one of them can say they are better or worse at remembering these movies.
[52:04]
They are both mediocre.
[52:06]
Evil, evil, evil.
[52:08]
Yeah, evil and good are in balance once again.
[52:10]
It's a real yin-yang situation.
[52:12]
Well, I hope that you, the listener, have enjoyed this trip through Flophouse episodes
[52:17]
past.
[52:18]
I hope you find that inner balance as well between your inner Stuart and your inner Dan because
[52:22]
each of us has two bears in us.
[52:23]
One is named Dan and one is named Stuart.
[52:26]
I, of course, have been your host for this episode, Elliot Kalin.
[52:30]
But if you enjoyed this, why not listen to other Flophouse episodes?
[52:33]
In fact, why not go to MaximumFun.org and look up some other Maximum Fun shows and then
[52:37]
listen to those too.
[52:38]
I bet you'll like them.
[52:39]
Stuff some fun stuff in your ears.
[52:41]
That's what I say.
[52:41]
That's my family motto.
[52:43]
Stuff your fun stuff, some fun stuff in your ears.
[52:46]
I want to thank our, I want to thank our, I want to thank our, well, maybe, you know what,
[52:51]
forget it.
[52:51]
Maybe I was wrong.
[52:52]
Firecrackers.
[52:53]
That's not a good thing to put in your ears.
[52:54]
No.
[52:55]
But they are fun.
[52:55]
I'm going to thank our producer editor, Alex Smith.
[52:58]
He goes under the name Howell Dottie when he performs music online.
[53:01]
I'm going to say if you liked this episode, you should listen to another episode because
[53:05]
the other episodes have a lot more going on in them.
[53:07]
This one was just kind of silly.
[53:08]
But if you did like it, why not recommend the show to somebody or put a positive review
[53:13]
on whatever podcast listening to app you go to.
[53:17]
Until then, next week, I'll say join us once a month at Flop TV and join us every week at
[53:23]
the Flophouse.
[53:24]
We'll be back with another new full episode for you next week.
[53:26]
But until then, I remain Elliot Kalin with my co-hosts.
[53:29]
Dan McCoy.
Stuart Wellington
[53:31]
Stuart Wellington.
[53:33]
And the star of the show.
Elliott Kalan
[53:34]
Allie Haglund.
[53:37]
Bye.
[53:37]
Bye.
[53:38]
Bye.
Description
Hallie may not have seen a ghost this Halloween season, but Elliott caps off Shocktober (a little late, in "no theme No-vember") by quizzing all of us about whether we've seen cinematic ghosts, in the course of our many Flop House viewings.
