FH Mini 115 - Ghosttesters, with Hallie Haglund

[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

[0:16] and get your tickets or season pass

[0:18] for this all new Flop House TV stuff.

[0:21] We're covering movies we've never covered before.

[0:23] We've got video segments.

[0:25] It's amazing.

[0:26] Just go to theflophouse.simpletics.com

[0:28] for Flop TV season two.

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

[0:33] Hey, everybody, welcome to an episode of The Flop House,

[0:40] a Flop House mini that is.

[0:42] You know, normally on The Flop House,

[0:44] we watch a bad movie

[0:45] and then we spend a long time talking about it.

[0:47] On Flop House minis, we do other stuff

[0:49] and we spend not quite as much time doing it.

[0:52] I'll be driving this Flop House mini.

[0:54] My name is Elliot Kalin.

[0:56] And I, of course, as always,

[0:57] joined by my two regular co-hosts.

[1:00] Dan McCoy.

[1:01] And Stewie Wellington.

[1:03] Oh, wow.

[1:04] And we are rejoined,

[1:05] baby Stewie Wellington from Family Guy.

[1:07] And we are rejoined, of course,

[1:09] by the star of the show, returning champion.

[1:12] Allie Haglund.

[1:14] Hi, guys.

[1:15] Hey.

[1:16] Hey, everybody.

[1:16] Wouldn't it be crazy if the family

[1:18] and Family Guy's last name was Wellington?

[1:21] It would be crazy, yeah.

[1:23] Because you also grew up in a house

[1:25] with a talking dog, right?

[1:26] I did, yeah, and a quagmire.

[1:29] Oh, no.

[1:30] That's, I'm sorry.

[1:31] He's horrible.

[1:32] It's horrible.

[1:33] Guys, no, the only quagmire that Stuart grew up with

[1:37] was our invasion of Afghanistan.

[1:39] Anyway, so.

[1:40] No.

[1:41] No.

[1:42] No.

[1:42] Boom, topical.

[1:43] I was in college at that point.

[1:44] Satire, satire.

[1:45] Well.

[1:46] You still have a lot of growing left to do.

[1:47] It's news related.

[1:48] I don't know if it's topical.

[1:50] It's history related, I guess.

[1:54] Today, we're gonna talk about a special subject.

[1:57] So, by the time this episode airs.

[1:58] If this whole thing is about the invasion

[2:00] of Afghanistan, that'd be pretty impressive, right?

[2:02] The year was 2002.

[2:04] Maybe ballsy.

[2:05] So, it's not gonna be about that at all.

[2:08] Turns into a slate podcast.

[2:10] Right.

[2:11] Do we have any more topics about what we could do

[2:13] on this podcast that we're not gonna do?

[2:14] Wow, okay.

[2:15] I mean, Rainbow Three is pretty.

[2:16] Dad doesn't wanna turn the car around, I guess.

[2:19] You know what?

[2:20] Forget it.

[2:21] This mini is over.

[2:21] Goodbye, everybody.

[2:22] No.

[2:23] It's not Halloween season anymore,

[2:24] but you know what it is on the day

[2:25] that this episode's released?

[2:27] Day of the Dead.

[2:28] It's the second day, I believe,

[2:29] of the Day of the Dead.

[2:30] So, we can still talk about dead stuff and spooky things.

[2:34] And especially, Hallie's favorite topic.

[2:37] That's right.

[2:38] G-g-g-ghosts.

[2:39] Oh, man.

[2:40] Hallie, do you wanna take a moment

[2:41] to just tell us about your interest in ghosts?

[2:43] I wanna see one.

[2:45] Yeah.

[2:46] It's not a minute.

[2:47] We've still got like 60 or 50 or like.

[2:50] Just like see them or do you wanna interact?

[2:52] I wanna see one.

[2:53] I don't wanna.

[2:54] I guess I wanna 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 wanna, you know, glimpse the other side.

[3:04] Ask them what it's like, you know?

[3:06] Would you wanna be friends with a ghost

[3:08] or just it's okay if it's a one-off thing?

[3:10] I think a one-off.

[3:12] One-off, okay.

[3:12] Just a one-night stand with a ghost.

[3:14] Hallie's like, I got no space in my life for another.

[3:16] No.

[3:17] I got kids to take care of.

[3:19] I got work to do.

[3:21] I can't be ghostin'.

[3:24] That's a fair point.

[3:25] Now, there's a lot of movies about ghosts

[3:28] and I figure there's four basic types.

[3:29] Name one.

[3:32] Heart and soul.

[3:34] You did it.

[3:35] I did it.

[3:36] Not the one anyone was expecting, but.

[3:38] No.

[3:39] So let's, there's four basic.

[3:40] High spirits.

[3:43] So there's four basic kinds of ghosts.

[3:45] Ghost.

[3:46] You said that as if you were worried

[3:49] about having to use the bathroom right in the middle.

[3:50] You gotta get it out without losing control

[3:52] of holding it in.

[3:54] So there's four kinds of ghost movies, I figure.

[3:56] There's scary ghosts, romantic ghosts,

[3:59] kind of platonic friend ghosts,

[4:00] and surprise twist ghosts where you don't realize

[4:03] it's a ghost the whole time.

[4:04] And at first I thought,

[4:05] let's talk about those types of movies.

[4:07] And then I decided, wait a minute.

[4:08] What if I could, what if I could

[4:10] make a movie about ghosts?

[4:11] What if I could make a movie about ghosts?

[4:13] And then I thought, what if I could

[4:14] wait a minute.

[4:15] What if I could gamify this

[4:17] in the way that only the Flophouse could do?

[4:19] Because I started thinking about ghost movies.

[4:21] The Flophouse podcast,

[4:23] we've covered a fair number of ghost movies.

[4:26] Movies with ghosts in them.

[4:27] So I wanted to play a little game called

[4:30] 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.

[4:35] Did you say Dead or Nut Dead?

[4:36] No.

[4:38] I was trying to say Dead or No Dead,

[4:39] but I actually said Dead or Not Dead,

[4:40] but it sounded like Dead or Nut Dead.

[4:42] Yeah.

[4:43] Sometimes you feel like a nut.

[4:44] Sometimes you're dead.

[4:47] Yes, you are allergic to nuts.

[4:49] I'm going to, I'm going to name,

[4:51] so this is a game, we're gonna take turns,

[4:53] and I'm gonna name movies we've covered on the Flophouse.

[4:57] And I want you folks to tell me

[5:00] 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,

[5:08] you get a bonus point.

[5:09] Because sometimes we don't always remember these movies.

[5:11] We're gonna go back pretty far.

[5:12] So, there's a lot of movies to go through.

[5:14] One might think that Halle would be at a disadvantage,

[5:17] but I think people don't understand

[5:19] how little I remember of things.

[5:21] Exactly, yeah.

[5:22] Halle is really getting a handicap

[5:25] from the fact that your memory is not great.

[5:27] Yeah.

[5:28] And for what, the first like six years of the podcast,

[5:31] I think I recorded very drunk every day.

[5:33] Yeah.

[5:34] Yes, yes, exactly.

[5:35] There was more drinking back in those days.

[5:37] Yeah.

[5:38] No, no, no, I mainly, yeah,

[5:39] I mainly have Dan blow cocaine up my ass.

[5:43] I was gonna go the other way,

[5:44] say you're mostly drunk on a small selection

[5:46] of nuts and fruit now.

[5:47] I can get a longer straw so you can do it for yourself.

[5:50] I just don't wanna blow out my septum, so.

[5:53] You do not wanna do that.

[5:55] No, it just, and it hits your bloodstream so fast

[5:57] 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?

[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.

[6:12] So let's talk about ghost stuff.

[6:15] I'm gonna start, okay, I'm gonna start with you, Hallie.

[6:17] Can you tell me, in this Flophouse movie,

[6:19] was there a ghost or not a ghost?

[6:21] Dear David.

[6:23] Ghost.

[6:24] All right, you got it right.

[6:25] Can you tell me anything else about that movie?

[6:30] I didn't like Kyle, the boyfriend.

[6:32] It's probably not the movie so much as your opinion.

[6:35] I'll give you a point for that, that's okay.

[6:37] Hallie's out to a commanding early lead.

[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,

[6:44] in reverse chronological order.

[6:45] So Dan, was there a ghost in Night Swim?

[6:49] Yes, there was a ghost in Night Swim.

[6:52] Okay, can you tell me anything else about Night Swim?

[6:55] It starred Wyatt Russell of the Russell dynasty of actors.

[7:00] You got that right, third generation Russell.

[7:01] There's a lot of them.

[7:02] Okay, 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.

[7:14] I don't, I think they're demons or something.

[7:16] You're right, they are demons or something.

[7:18] It's not 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?

[7:25] I remember the sets were really cool

[7:29] and they used like normal computers

[7:31] for their spaceship computers.

[7:33] I feel like that's kind of half a true thing

[7:35] and half a fake thing.

[7:37] I don't remember the sets being so cool.

[7:39] Was it mostly like about a house

[7:41] that was floating through space?

[7:42] Yeah.

[7:43] Yeah, Amityville in space, Dan, the title says it all.

[7:45] I know, I just think it's funny

[7:47] that it's just like a house in space.

[7:49] Yeah.

[7:49] You know what, just to even things up

[7:51] for the first round, Stuart,

[7:51] I'm gonna give you a point for these regular computers,

[7:55] their futuristic space computer.

[7:58] Okay, Hallie, it's back to you.

[7:59] Episode 377, The Gray Man.

[8:03] Are there ghosts in The Gray Man?

[8:05] Did I do this episode?

[8:07] No.

[8:08] Okay.

[8:10] Most of these episodes you did not do.

[8:10] Okay, just, okay, I'm glad.

[8:12] But it shows how well you've been paying attention

[8:14] to the show in general that you couldn't remember

[8:15] whether you'd done it or not.

[8:16] Oh, I would say no.

[8:18] You're right, there are no ghosts.

[8:20] Can you tell me something about The Gray Man?

[8:25] Very muted color palette.

[8:28] Dammit, Hallie, you're right.

[8:29] I wish you weren't, but.

[8:33] Okay, Dan, your next episode, 358.

[8:35] She's right, she's right, she's got it.

[8:37] That puts me in my mind of back in the day

[8:40] when we would be reviewed in the Onion AV Club.

[8:43] There was, Hallie got quoted, and her quote was,

[8:48] it was as pink as a pink girl's dress,

[8:50] a dress that is pink.

[8:54] Hallie has a way with describing colors

[8:56] so you can just see them in your mind, you know?

[8:58] Dan, let's go to episode 358, Grand Isle.

[9:03] Ooh, Grand Isle.

[9:03] Grand Isle.

[9:06] Is there a ghost in Grand Isle?

[9:08] No, I think this is just sort of a noir movie.

[9:11] You're right, can you tell me something else

[9:13] about Grand Isle?

[9:15] Well, in the course of the erotic web of entanglements,

[9:19] the female lead uses her high heel

[9:23] to take the button off of a man's pants.

[9:27] You're right, you remember that one.

[9:28] I'm not surprised that that's the part you remember, yeah.

[9:31] Well, it's not just because of me,

[9:33] that is the most interesting part of that movie.

[9:36] Yeah, that's true, that's true.

[9:37] You guys are doing great.

[9:38] Okay, Stuart, episode 354, The Unholy.

[9:42] Ghost or no ghost?

[9:46] It's gotta go ghost on this one.

[9:48] Damn it.

[9:50] 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?

[10:05] Uh, so there's characters in it that interact with each other.

[10:12] Okay, tell me a little bit more.

[10:15] Don't help him, Dan.

[10:19] Does somebody die?

[10:22] You know what, I'll give it to you.

[10:25] Can I ask you, Elliot, is this the one that's based on A Tale of Two Sisters, the Korean film?

[10:32] No, that was a different one, I believe.

[10:36] This is the one, or maybe it was a little bit.

[10:39] I can't remember if it was or not.

[10:41] I was just looking this up yesterday.

[10:42] Look it up.

[10:43] You might be right.

[10:44] Hallie, it's back to you.

[10:45] Now, this is episode 353, an episode you were on, The Turning.

[10:49] Oh, uh, yes, there was a ghost.

[10:53] You got that right, and give me a fact about that.

[10:55] Something else you remember about that movie?

[10:57] Uh, didn't it star the girl who was in Halt and Catch Fire?

[11:01] Uh...

[11:02] Yeah, Mackenzie Davis.

[11:03] Mackenzie Davis.

[11:04] Okay.

[11:05] Yep, that's right, it was Mackenzie Davis.

[11:06] That's right, it was an adaptation of The Turn of the Screw.

[11:09] You know what, I think I was thinking of Uninvited, which was another odd movie.

[11:16] Amazing, Dan.

[11:17] Number 326, Uninvited, is literally the next one for you, Daniel.

[11:23] Is it a...

[11:25] Is there a ghost in Uninvited?

[11:27] I think there is a ghost.

[11:28] Nope.

[11:29] Dan, you were thinking of the movie The Uninvited.

[11:31] Uninvited is, of course, about a cat monster that is on a boat.

[11:35] Yeah, I couldn't remember which one had the article and which one didn't have an article in it.

[11:41] Do I get to tell you something about that movie?

[11:44] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[11:45] Sure, you can tell me something about that movie.

[11:46] It has George Kennedy in it.

[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.

[11:54] Not wrong about that.

[11:55] No, it's 100%.

[11:56] If you said George Kennedy wasn't in that movie, you would be a liar, sir.

[11:59] Your pants would burst into flame.

[12:01] Stuart.

[12:02] I don't want that.

[12:03] 100 Pinocchios right here.

[12:04] You get a Pinocchio.

[12:07] You get a Pinocchio.

[12:08] You get a Pinocchio if you say George Kennedy wasn't in that movie.

[12:10] I don't want a Pinocchio.

[12:11] I've got to take care of a kid now?

[12:13] Yeah.

[12:14] Well, he's not a real boy.

[12:15] You can just stuff him in a closet.

[12:16] He is a real boy.

[12:17] Yeah, you say that shit to him, that's so mean.

[12:19] Say it to his face.

[12:21] You're right.

[12:22] The next time I see him, I won't be, I'll eat my words.

[12:25] I just got a text from Guillermo del Toro.

[12:27] He said he's going to beat your ass.

[12:29] I don't know.

[12:31] 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.

[12:36] As long as he's beating my ass with a maquette from a horror movie.

[12:40] That's what I want.

[12:41] Stuart, it's up to you now.

[12:43] Episode 325, the film was Fantasy Island.

[12:46] Is there a ghost or no ghost in Fantasy Island?

[12:48] God damn it.

[12:49] Ah, fuck.

[12:51] Yes, I think there's a ghost.

[12:52] I think there's a ghost.

[12:54] I'm so sorry, Stuart.

[12:55] There are no ghosts in Fantasy Island.

[12:57] But can you tell me anything else about the movie?

[12:59] Michael Peña's.

[13:01] You got it.

[13:02] That is 100% Michael Peña's, 0% ghosts in Fantasy Island.

[13:06] Yeah.

[13:07] God damn it.

[13:08] Okay, Hallie, now it's up to you.

[13:10] Episode 323.

[13:11] How come they're all in the 300s?

[13:14] Oh, just because I have, they were all in the 300s.

[13:16] Oh, just because I have, no, they won't be.

[13:18] I'm just, I just, I have a lot of movies on here, so.

[13:20] Okay, okay.

[13:21] Episode 323, some of it is random sampling.

[13:22] Some of it is just because we haven't gone through all the way, but.

[13:24] Okay.

[13:25] Episode 323.

[13:26] Okay.

[13:27] Deadly Lessons.

[13:28] Ghosts or no ghosts?

[13:30] No ghosts.

[13:31] You got it right, no ghosts.

[13:33] Tell me something about Deadly Lessons.

[13:37] There's a knife.

[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?

[13:46] Uh, wait, is that the one that we.

[13:49] Is that with Jon Voight?

[13:50] That we just watched?

[13:51] It is with Jon Voight.

[13:52] 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.

[13:58] No, it's not.

[13:59] No, the one that we just watched was the Legacy Murder.

[14:00] This is, this is.

[14:01] The Dangerous Game, right?

[14:02] This is Simon Conjurer, right?

[14:03] Dangerous Game.

[14:04] Yeah, this is the Simon Conjurer one, exactly, yeah.

[14:06] Dangerous Game and Deadly Lessons are all mixed up in my mind.

[14:09] Jon Voight only makes certain types of movies these days.

[14:11] Yeah.

[14:12] And by these days, I mean the past 20 years.

[14:14] Okay.

[14:15] Um, yeah.

[14:16] So, Dan, it's up to you.

[14:18] The movie is.

[14:19] The movie is.

[14:20] Okay.

[14:21] The movie game we've been doing.

[14:22] Oh, thank God.

[14:23] Oh, you know, it's not up to you to like accomplish something or save somebody or anything like

[14:30] that.

[14:31] Don't worry.

[14:32] No, no.

[14:33] Dan.

[14:34] I am unequipped for that.

[14:35] Dan, it's up to you to defeat Trump in November.

[14:36] Oh, God.

[14:37] Dan, it's up to you to make a phone call with your phone and talk to a person.

[14:41] I do think.

[14:42] I do think that Kamala Harris sent me an email to that effect, but I didn't open it.

[14:47] Yeah, 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] It's.

[14:54] Okay.

[14:55] Dan, this is episode 316.

[14:57] We're almost done with 300s.

[14:58] Uh-huh.

[14:59] Between Worlds.

[15:01] Well, I watched this one, didn't I?

[15:03] With you.

[15:04] I think I did watch this one.

[15:05] Did you watch this one?

[15:06] Is this?

[15:07] Yeah.

[15:09] I think that there is a ghost in Between Worlds.

[15:11] You're right, Dan.

[15:12] There is a ghost in Between Worlds.

[15:14] It's another ghost possession movie.

[15:16] Can you tell me anything else about Between Worlds?

[15:18] Is this?

[15:19] I believe Nicolas Cage has.

[15:22] The character that Nicolas Cage is playing has sex while reading poetry by Nicolas Cage.

[15:30] Is that true?

[15:31] Yes.

[15:32] Did that happen in that?

[15:33] Yes.

[15:34] It's also the one where Nicolas Cage.

[15:35] He's dancing while a hose is being sprayed at him.

[15:37] Yeah.

[15:38] Oh.

[15:39] Right.

[15:40] This sounds way better than the movie I was thinking.

[15:41] I don't think you saw this.

[15:42] This was Nicolas Cage and Franco Potente, right?

[15:44] Were the stars of this one?

[15:45] Yeah.

[15:46] From Run Lola Run?

[15:47] I was thinking of that one with Kirsten Dunst.

[15:49] That's something about towers.

[15:50] Between Worlds.

[15:51] That was.

[15:52] Oh, yeah.

[15:53] That's what I just said.

[15:54] Yeah, that's the one.

[15:55] Upside down.

[15:56] Upside down, yeah.

[15:57] Upside down.

[15:58] I hated that movie.

[15:59] Dan's like, no, no.

[16:00] That wasn't Between Worlds.

[16:01] That was Between Worlds.

[16:02] And finally, for the 300s.

[16:03] 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?

[16:08] 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.

[16:14] Yeah.

[16:15] Dan, you were the one who just said Between Worlds, right?

[16:18] Yeah.

[16:19] Yes.

[16:20] So, Stuart, Episode 301, Star Wars, The Rise of Skywalker.

[16:23] Is there a ghost or is there not a ghost?

[16:25] I feel like, yeah.

[16:30] You're right, there is.

[16:32] There's a Force ghost in there.

[16:34] His name is Lucas Skywalker.

[16:37] Ooh.

[16:38] Stuart, can you tell me something about The Rise of Skywalker, Star Wars, for an extra

[16:42] point?

[16:43] They kill, like, a whole lot of stormtroopers.

[16:47] They do.

[16:48] I mean, that's just a Star Wars thing.

[16:50] And Palpatine's back for some reason.

[16:53] Yeah, for some, somehow.

[16:55] Somehow, Palpatine's back.

[16:57] And, like, we think Chewie's dead for a little bit.

[17:01] For, like, half a scene.

[17:03] 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!

[17:09] Babu Frick.

[17:10] 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.

[17:18] Yeah, they glow.

[17:19] I'm going to do another round, and then we're going to just talk about our, have our sponsor

[17:23] break.

[17:24] This is going to be a quick episode, because you guys are really blazing through this.

[17:26] You're doing great.

[17:28] Episode 288, The Haunting of Sharon Tate.

[17:33] Oh.

[17:35] She's thinking about it.

[17:36] I'm going to say no ghost.

[17:38] Oh, you didn't fall for the trap.

[17:41] There's no ghost in that one.

[17:42] It's the movie that implies that if Sharon Tate had just tried a little harder, she would

[17:46] not have been killed by the Manson family, who would have been able to turn the tables.

[17:49] Can you tell us anything else about this movie?

[17:51] She's pregnant.

[17:53] No.

[17:54] That's true.

[17:55] That's a historic fact.

[17:57] What's the titular haunting?

[17:58] I forget this movie.

[18:00] 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.

[18:06] Oh, right, because she keeps thinking there's ghosts, but it's not.

[18:09] She's seeing visions of the future.

[18:12] Yes, yes, yeah.

[18:13] So, Dan, speaking of whether there are ghosts or not, do you remember in episode 269, Friend

[18:17] or Quest, is there a ghost?

[18:19] Sorry, what quest?

[18:21] Friend or Quest.

[18:23] Friend or Quest?

[18:25] I thought I heard Frendal Quest.

[18:27] Yeah, Frendal Quest.

[18:29] It sounds like something we watched.

[18:34] I believe there is a ghost in that one.

[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 or Quest?

[18:40] Yeah, fucking drop it on me.

[18:42] 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.

[18:49] Oh, man.

[18:50] Why would she poop her pants?

[18:51] She drank too much and pooped her pants.

[18:53] Drank too much.

[18:55] There was a girl who did that in college.

[18:57] It wasn't me!

[18:58] Yeah, there was a Stewart that did that in college.

[19:03] And, Stewart, for the end of this round, to go to, and then we'll go to the sponsor break,

[19:08] truth or dare, is there a ghost in the movie Truth or Dare?

[19:12] Truth.

[19:17] Oh, I think that's a yes.

[19:19] Yeah, yeah, yes.

[19:20] I think there's a ghost.

[19:21] No, there is no ghost in Truth or Dare.

[19:23] I'm sorry, Stewart.

[19:24] But can you tell me anything else about Truth or Dare?

[19:28] Is that the one where if you play Truth or Dare wrong, you die?

[19:34] Not exactly, but kind of.

[19:35] Did I trick the game master?

[19:37] I mean, I'll give you a point on that.

[19:39] It's the one where there's a demon's tongue in a pot, and it gets broken open, and when

[19:43] they play Truth or Dare, the demon comes after them.

[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.

[19:51] But does it have a thing?

[19:53] Is that the one where it's like, if it's coming after you, it's like Final Destination's

[19:59] you to die?

[20:00] Yeah, a little bit.

[20:01] I think that your face goes all like smile kind of a little bit.

[20:04] What?

[20:06] What if it follows was just about a fart?

[20:11] I think that's the subjects of the movie.

[20:13] That's the metaphor.

[20:14] They're offering.

[20:15] Remember that issue of Marvel Comics.

[20:17] What if of what the series?

[20:18] What if what if it follows was about a fart?

[20:23] Okay guys, let's take a quick break from the game.

[20:25] That's more of a what the type.

[20:27] Yeah, that's true.

[20:28] That's a good point.

[20:29] Let's take a quick break from the game.

[20:30] Just to remind our viewers that this episode is sponsored by flop TV.

[22:37] That's the flop house dot SimpleTix.com for flop TV and I think there's still

[22:43] time if you are if you're interested in supporting a small business Jiggle Studio

[22:48] is still up on Kickstarter.

[22:50] Jiggle Studio is a size inclusive gender inclusive class-based gym studio where

[22:55] 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

[23:04] the night before.

[23:06] 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.

[23:12] 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

[23:19] really cool merch, be part of the original Jiggle Squad, get a portrait of

[23:24] your pet painted or drawn in 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.

[23:34] Well, it's right next door to our bar minis and it's going to be a big part.

[23:39] 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

[23:44] for it.

[23:45] So just go over to Kickstarter and look for Open Jiggle Studios.

[23:51] Jiggle Studio, not studios.

[23:52] That's a different thing.

[23:54] Just one.

[23:55] There's just one.

[23:56] Just one.

[24:02] 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 super-sized and a ton of fun.

[24:20] Yeah, we've got guests coming back from the entire 500 episode run of our

[24:26] show.

[24:27] Some of your favorite Max Fun stars, some of your favorite regular out in

[24:31] other places in the world stars, too.

[24:33] Some really fun surprises and every single one of them had a topic for us

[24:37] to cover.

[24:38] You can listen to it right now on MaximumFun.org or wherever you get

[24:42] your podcast.

[24:45] Hello, sleepyheads.

[24:47] Sleeping With Celebrities is your podcast pillow pal.

[24:50] We talk to remarkable people about unremarkable topics all to help you

[24:55] slow down your brain and drift off to sleep.

[24:58] For instance, the remarkable actor Alan Tudyk.

[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

[25:10] of the family.

[25:11] Sleeping With Celebrities, hosted by me, John Moe, on MaximumFun.org or

[25:17] wherever you get your podcasts.

[25:19] Night-night.

[25:22] Okay, and we're back to this episode.

[25:24] How are we doing, by the way?

[25:25] What are the, where are the scores?

[25:26] Oh, let's take, 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.

[25:32] We're back to this episode of Dead or No Dead, the show that tells you

[25:36] whether Flophouse episodes had ghosts in them.

[25:38] Looking at the scores, 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.

[25:47] Wow.

[25:48] And I'm not even a host of this show.

[25:50] It's true.

[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.

[25:57] Can I ask a question?

[25:58] So rearrange.

[25:59] Just before we do.

[26:00] Yes.

[26:00] Okay.

[26:00] The Flop TV stuff that you guys do, is it just like this?

[26:04] I mean, it's like this.

[26:06] No.

[26:07] What do you mean?

[26:08] Like a mini or?

[26:09] Like, no, I mean, this is what they see.

[26:11] They see it on zoom.

[26:12] Yeah.

[26:13] Well, but there's, there's more.

[26:14] We have animated intros and outros.

[26:16] We have some video stuff we've been doing when we do, we do presentations

[26:19] where we share the screen with grass.

[26:20] So there's actually more and more.

[26:21] My zoom setup is lit properly.

[26:24] Yeah.

[26:24] It looks nicer, 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.

[26:31] We're kind of recreating television, uh, in the comfort of our own homes.

[26:35] Somebody should.

[26:36] Mm hmm.

[26:37] Eventually we'll have commercials.

[26:39] It'll be great.

[26:40] Wow.

[26:41] Uh, so getting back to this show though, which is called dead or no dead.

[26:45] Uh, it's back to Hallie.

[26:47] Hallie.

[26:48] Yes.

[26:49] Can you tell me in episode 248, the movie is bright ghost or no ghost in that movie?

[26:54] Right.

[26:55] Right.

[26:58] 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 ghost in it?

[27:04] Cause I didn't, but.

[27:05] I suddenly got hit with a, with a, with a sort of dubious feeling about myself.

[27:09] I mean, there, I mean, there's like a slim possibility cause it is all about

[27:12] mythical creatures, but they're more like fantasy creatures.

[27:14] It was supposed to be his star Wars guys.

[27:18] Yeah.

[27:18] It was supposed to be a star Wars.

[27:20] So Hallie, what can you tell me about bright?

[27:22] It was supposed to be his star Wars.

[27:25] I'll give you a point for that.

[27:27] You told me something about bright.

[27:28] Oh no.

[27:29] Yeah.

[27:29] I messed up.

[27:30] Okay.

[27:31] Now the next one is for Dan.

[27:32] This is episode number 247.

[27:35] I wonder if Wallace Shawn wrote this movie cause it's called inconceivable.

[27:39] Oh shit.

[27:41] Okay.

[27:42] Yes.

[27:45] I do remember this one.

[27:46] There's no ghosts in this.

[27:48] There is no ghost in inconceivable.

[27:50] What can you tell me about the movie though?

[27:52] Uh, this is about.

[27:56] It's, it's like a thriller.

[27:59] There's problems with conception, which is why it's called inconceivable.

[28:03] I'll give you that.

[28:04] Can you name any of the stars of inconceivable?

[28:06] Uh, is, is, is, is Gina Gershon in that?

[28:11] I believe she is.

[28:12] And I believe one Nicholas Cage, if I'm remembering correctly, is also in that movie.

[28:16] This is, this game is kind of melting my brain.

[28:19] Really?

[28:21] I just can't remember anything.

[28:22] Well, maybe you'll remember this one Stewart.

[28:24] I mean, we've done so many of these.

[28:28] They're only going to get, they're only going to get less so because this title

[28:30] will start to get a little generic as we get earlier into the series, but

[28:34] Stewart, but this one, I'm sure you'll remember episode two 39 ghost in the

[28:37] shell.

[28:38] Is there a ghost in this movie?

[28:41] Uh, I don't think so.

[28:42] I would say no.

[28:43] There's a very loose interpretation.

[28:46] Yes.

[28:46] And can you tell me anything else about ghost in the shell?

[28:48] The movie we did?

[28:50] Uh, let's see.

[28:51] Well, a, uh, let's see.

[28:54] It's got Scarlett Johansson.

[28:56] Yeah.

[28:56] Yep.

[28:56] There you go.

[28:57] Okay.

[28:57] That's something about it.

[28:58] Some other folks.

[28:59] Uh, yep.

[29:00] She plays an Android, uh, major Kusanagi.

[29:05] Sure.

[29:05] Um, and she, I mean, I feel like you guys, you're pulling from your general ghost

[29:09] in the shell knowledge at that point.

[29:11] Yep.

[29:12] How, uh, yeah, it's a little different than the, uh, 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?

[29:23] Does it have a ghost in it?

[29:24] Oh, home sweet hell.

[29:25] 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?

[29:32] Home sweet hell.

[29:32] I said it with a lot of confidence.

[29:33] It would make it true.

[29:35] Yeah.

[29:36] You were like, it's like karaoke that way.

[29:38] Yeah.

[29:40] Um, home sweet hell.

[29:41] Yeah.

[29:42] Uh, well it stars Reese Witherspoon.

[29:47] You are so close.

[29:48] Pretty.

[29:48] Yeah.

[29:48] That's actually pretty, pretty surprising.

[29:50] Dan, tell, so Hallie, you get no points for that one.

[29:53] Dan, tell Hallie who stars in home sweet hell.

[29:55] Uh, Katherine Heigl is in home sweet hell.

[29:58] Yes.

[29:58] Okay.

[29:59] What is this about?

[30:00] Uh, I don't know where she catches her husband cheating and she kills.

[30:05] Yes.

[30:06] Patrick Wilson too.

[30:07] I think so.

[30:08] The poster has her holding a knife, but she's a kind of a smirk and Patrick Wilson standing

[30:12] behind her.

[30:13] And she's, she's pretty good if I remember.

[30:16] Catherine Heigl.

[30:17] Yeah.

[30:18] Yeah.

[30:19] Pretty good.

[30:20] Hmm.

[30:21] It's possible.

[30:22] I mean, she was great.

[30:23] And my father, the hero, the Jet Li movie.

[30:29] So Dan, now it's back to you, episode 216, the gallows.

[30:34] Is there a ghost in the gallows?

[30:37] I believe there is a ghost in the gallows.

[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.

[30:45] The explanation of it.

[30:46] But tell me something else about the gallows.

[30:47] Uh, I think that this is a found footage movie, um, and it involves high school theatrics,

[30:56] right?

[30:57] You got it.

[30:59] I think it is.

[31:00] I can't remember if it is fully found footage or not, but it does involve high school theatrics.

[31:03] Yeah.

[31:04] I think it may be.

[31:05] It is.

[31:06] I think you're right.

[31:07] I'm kind of impressed that Dan has such a good memory.

[31:08] He seems to be actually remembering this.

[31:10] He's got a great memory for the least useful thing.

[31:12] No, this is what I was about to say.

[31:14] Like I, I feel shame about it because in my day to day life, like Audrey is often frustrated

[31:21] by useful stuff that I cannot remember.

[31:24] And yet I have this in my head.

[31:25] That's how I know you.

[31:26] That's the Dan I know.

[31:27] The amount of people I know who are like, Dan doesn't remember my name after meeting

[31:32] me many times.

[31:33] I'm like, I'm sorry.

[31:34] I, but he can tell you all about it.

[31:35] Be a bad movie.

[31:36] That's just a power move folks.

[31:37] You were the gallows.

[31:38] He remembers your name.

[31:39] I learned late in life that I have neurodivergence.

[31:44] Does that help?

[31:45] Does that do anything for anyone?

[31:46] Yeah.

[31:47] Yeah.

[31:48] Sure.

[31:49] Yeah.

[31:50] I mean.

[31:51] It's fine.

[31:52] No.

[31:53] It's fine.

[31:54] No, that's the, that's the, that's the usual reaction.

[31:55] I mean, what's it supposed to do for me?

[31:56] It's just like, turn me on.

[31:57] Does it?

[31:58] I'm afraid to say no, Dan.

[31:59] Uh, now it's Stewart's turn.

[32:00] Stewart.

[32:01] Oh, episode 215.

[32:02] The Lazarus effect.

[32:03] The Lazarus effect.

[32:04] Is there a ghost in this movie?

[32:05] I don't think so.

[32:06] You're right, Stewart.

[32:07] There are no ghosts in the Lazarus effect.

[32:08] What can you tell me about that movie?

[32:09] It's about bringing somebody back to life who died.

[32:10] Olivia Wilde's in it.

[32:12] I mean, you're right.

[32:13] It is about bringing someone back to life.

[32:15] I mean, you're right.

[32:16] It is about bringing someone back to life.

[32:20] I can't remember.

[32:21] Yeah.

[32:22] Okay.

[32:23] Yeah.

[32:24] It's like Flatliners.

[32:25] That's what it is.

[32:26] It is pretty much like Flatliners.

[32:27] Yeah.

[32:28] I might have watched.

[32:29] Flatliners.

[32:30] Okay.

[32:31] But yeah, I think Olivia Wilde's in it.

[32:32] She's on the poster.

[32:33] Yeah.

[32:34] I mean, if she's on the poster, it's a pretty good bet that she at least appears in the

[32:35] movie.

[32:36] I think maybe one of the Duplasses in it.

[32:37] You got a Duplass in it.

[32:38] Yeah.

[32:39] Mark.

[32:40] Just one, though, so it's the Duplass.

[32:41] It's Mark, right?

[32:42] I don't remember.

[32:43] Probably.

[32:44] I think it's the Duplass.

[32:45] Yeah.

[32:46] Yeah.

[32:47] Yeah.

[32:48] Yeah.

[32:52] Probably.

[32:53] Probably not as well.

[32:54] Elliot, you're the game master here.

[32:55] You don't have any of this information.

[32:56] No, I don't have a full dossier on every movie right at my fingertips.

[32:59] 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.

[33:08] Tell me something else about Pay the Ghost.

[33:09] It's all about the best.

[33:12] This ghost is making money moves.

[33:16] No.

[33:17] Not at all.

[33:19] So, that's a missed point opportunity there.

[33:22] But, Hallie, it was Mark Duplass, so that's a pretty good guess.

[33:29] Can I have a point for Mark Duplass?

[33:30] Nope.

[33:31] Not until we get to round three, which we're almost at.

[33:34] Okay.

[33:35] Okay.

[33:36] So, Dan, you're next.

[33:37] Yeah.

[33:38] The movie is The Choice.

[33:39] Is there a ghost in The Choice?

[33:40] Oh, boy.

[33:41] Here's the limits of it.

[33:42] This is episode 206, The Choice.

[33:44] Wait.

[33:45] Yes.

[33:46] I think there is a ghost in this.

[33:47] I'm so sorry, Dan.

[33:48] There are no ghosts in The Choice.

[33:49] Can you tell me something else about the movie, though?

[33:50] Maybe it's not the one I thought it was.

[33:51] Someone makes a choice in this film.

[33:52] Stuart, you want to say something?

[33:53] Is this the Nicholas Sparks one?

[33:54] Is this the one with the guy from Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter?

[33:55] I believe it is.

[33:56] Yes.

[33:57] I think this is the Nicholas Sparks, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

[34:09] I believe it is.

[34:10] Yes.

[34:11] 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.

[34:18] I got confused with another Nicholas Sparks one that might come up later, so I won't say

[34:21] anything about it.

[34:22] Don't say anything about it.

[34:23] Perhaps it's on the list.

[34:24] So that's now Stuart, it's your turn.

[34:27] The movie is Episode 190 Weegee.

[34:30] Is there a ghost in Weegee?

[34:32] There's gotta be a ghost in Weegee.

[34:34] Right?

[34:35] There is the ghost in Weegee.

[34:36] Can you tell me anything about that movie?

[34:39] Weegee.

[34:40] It's about a photographer, right?

[34:42] No.

[34:43] You're thinking of the public eye.

[34:46] A man of culture over here is pointing that out.

[34:50] Yeah, I think some kids play a Weegee board to disastrous consequences.

[34:56] I don't know if I really...

[34:58] I'll give you that one, but I feel like it doesn't...

[35:00] I feel like you don't deserve it.

[35:03] Okay guys, this might be where Dan starts to dominate.

[35:05] I think I'm going to introduce a rule change for what's now round three.

[35:08] 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, I got Mark Duplass.

[35:18] 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.

[35:26] Okay?

[35:27] Okay.

[35:28] Okay.

[35:29] And we start with Hallie.

[35:30] Deliver us from evil, Episode 189.

[35:33] Is there a ghost in it?

[35:34] No.

[35:35] You're right, there is no ghost.

[35:36] What can you tell us about it?

[35:39] It's...

[35:40] It's...

[35:41] There's a church in it.

[35:42] I actually don't think there's a church in it.

[35:46] This one's got Eric Bana, and it's based on like a true story about a police detective

[35:51] who dealt with a lot of that.

[35:53] You're right, it's a true story of a police detective dealing with the devil.

[35:58] There's no church in it?

[36:00] I don't think there's a church in it.

[36:01] Oh, he doesn't even know.

[36:04] I remember there being a zoo in it.

[36:06] I remember there being an apartment in it.

[36:08] Okay.

[36:09] Our listeners, write in, is there a church in it?

[36:11] If there's a church, write in, I'll put an asterisk next to the score in the score books

[36:15] for this one.

[36:16] Thank you.

[36:17] We'll send Hallie a quarter.

[36:20] Okay.

[36:21] Dan?

[36:22] Dan?

[36:23] Maybe you remember this one.

[36:25] Unfriended.

[36:26] Is there a ghost in Unfriended?

[36:27] Yes, there is a ghost in Unfriended.

[36:29] There is a ghost in Unfriended.

[36:30] What else can you tell me about Unfriended?

[36:32] This is the poop pants movie.

[36:34] This is the one where the girl pooped her pants and was so ashamed that she took her

[36:39] own life and is now a ghost attacking her friends.

[36:41] Yes.

[36:42] Yeah.

[36:43] So that's the famous poop pants ghost movie.

[36:47] Stuart, the next one's for you.

[36:49] Episode 187, Fateful Findings.

[36:52] Is there a ghost in Fateful Findings?

[36:54] Fuck.

[36:56] There probably is, right?

[36:58] Wait, let me work through this.

[37:03] No?

[37:06] I'm so sorry, Stuart.

[37:07] It's not related to the plot.

[37:08] It just kind of appears every now and then.

[37:10] Oh, that's right.

[37:11] But there is a ghost that kind of rooshes across the screen.

[37:13] Stuart, can you tell me anything else about Fateful Findings?

[37:15] This man has so many laptops, Elliot.

[37:17] He can't get enough of them.

[37:20] He has three laptops, never turned on, and he just sweeps them off his table at a moment's

[37:24] notice.

[37:25] What a movie.

[37:26] What a piece of work.

[37:27] Have you seen Twisted Pears?

[37:30] No, I still haven't seen Twisted Pears.

[37:31] Elliot, it's crazy.

[37:32] I know.

[37:33] I've got to see it.

[37:34] Elliot, you'll love it.

[37:35] I don't think that's his most recent one.

[37:37] This is his most recent one, Cade the Tortured Crossing.

[37:40] Oh, my mistake.

[37:41] Cade the Tortured Crossing.

[37:42] Also, not to be that guy, but it's Fateful Findings.

[37:45] You were saying Faithful Findings, but the findings are fateful.

[37:49] I said Fateful Findings.

[37:51] I think I'm just not speaking clearly.

[37:53] Elliot, next time you do a family movie night, just fire up Cade the Tortured Crossing.

[37:58] That's what I'll show them.

[38:00] When the kids demand to see Pee Wee's Big Adventure again, I'll say, no, no.

[38:05] I've got a different man boy that we're going to see the adventures of.

[38:09] Okay, Stuart, great work on that one.

[38:12] Thank you.

[38:13] Now, episode 162.

[38:15] Hallie, this is for you.

[38:16] Yes.

[38:17] The Quiet Ones.

[38:18] Is there a ghost in The Quiet Ones?

[38:20] Yes.

[38:24] There are no ghosts in The Quiet Ones.

[38:26] Can you tell me anything about it, though?

[38:29] There's an old lady.

[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 this one have Jared Harris in it?

[38:42] You got it, Dan.

[38:43] Flophouse fave, Jared Harris appears in it.

[38:45] Okay, Dan, it's up to you.

[38:48] Episode 145.

[38:50] RIPD.

[38:51] Are there any ghosts in RIPD?

[38:53] I think there's a shit ton of ghosts in RIPD.

[38:56] There are a shit ton of ghosts.

[38:57] He's getting all the easy ones.

[38:59] He's already best at this game, and he gets the easy ones.

[39:04] I know.

[39:05] I'll try to change the random distribution next time.

[39:09] Okay, so give us a fun fact about it.

[39:11] What's a fun fact about RIPD?

[39:13] It's got Jeff Bridges, and I think Ryan Reynolds, and they're sort of like men in black for ghosts, basically.

[39:22] They're men in black for ghosts.

[39:23] Instead of the MIB, it's the RIPD.

[39:26] Stuart, it's up to you.

[39:28] Episode 127, Safe Haven.

[39:30] Is there a ghost or no ghost in Safe Haven?

[39:33] What was the number of the episode?

[39:35] 127.

[39:36] Don't look it up.

[39:37] That'll crack it wide open.

[39:40] Safe Haven, eh?

[39:42] Safe Haven.

[39:43] Safe Haven.

[39:46] I'd have to say there is a ghost.

[39:51] There is a ghost.

[39:52] What else can you tell me about the movie?

[39:54] There are actors.

[39:57] It has a runtime.

[40:00] Yeah. Yeah. Okay. These aren't really fun facts.

[40:02] Color of life. It's a color film.

[40:06] It's a talkie. English language.

[40:07] Yeah. It's English language.

[40:09] Yeah. I mean, I don't somebody can see how they see it.

[40:14] There's a pregnant woman.

[40:17] Is there a pregnant woman in it?

[40:19] I can't remember it.

[40:21] Is this the. Yeah, I don't think it was.

[40:26] Is this the one with Kobe Smulders in it?

[40:27] Stewart, I'll give you a point for that.

[40:29] It is the other Nicholas Sparks movie.

[40:31] This is the one where this is the one Dan was thinking of earlier, where it turns

[40:34] out she's a, she was a ghost, right?

[40:36] Is she pregnant?

[40:37] She's helping her husband find a new love.

[40:43] A new love.

[40:43] Yes.

[40:44] Yeah.

[40:44] From beyond the grave.

[40:46] She's pregnant.

[40:47] Is it?

[40:47] Yeah.

[40:47] And look it up, Hallie.

[40:48] If there's a pregnant woman in it, then I will take away Stewart's.

[40:51] What's it called?

[40:51] Safe haven.

[40:53] And then, and then I've got another movie for you after that, Hallie.

[40:56] Okay.

[40:57] Um, uh, if this is going to take a lot of work.

[41:00] Does safe haven have a pregnant woman in it?

[41:04] Why don't you answer episode 107.

[41:06] With the help of Alex and his children, someone had to have been pregnant.

[41:10] Someone was pregnant at some point in the backstory.

[41:14] So Hallie, what about episode 107?

[41:16] Ghost Rider, Spirit of Vengeance.

[41:18] Is there a ghost or no ghost?

[41:22] There's not.

[41:24] I'll give it to you.

[41:25] There's no ghost in it.

[41:26] Ghost Rider.

[41:29] I'll give it to you.

[41:29] That not is an effective way to make a statement.

[41:32] Well, wait, hold on.

[41:33] Like, what do we, like, what do we call Johnny Blaze?

[41:36] Is he like a revenant?

[41:36] Johnny, Johnny, he's a, yeah, he's like, I would call him more of a, more of

[41:41] like the living dead than like a ghost.

[41:42] Cause he's got a physical body.

[41:43] Right.

[41:44] Is he a spirit of vengeance?

[41:45] Yeah.

[41:46] Well, and, and of course the, well, the spirit of vengeance is of

[41:48] course the demon Xerathos, which, which inhabits the body and turns him into it.

[41:52] But the, uh, yeah, I would say no ghost.

[41:54] What can, what else can you tell me about Ghost Rider, Spirit of Vengeance, Allie?

[41:58] Um, sorry, I'm scanning through all the pictures of safe haven on IMDB to see

[42:03] if there's one where I'm like, is that a baby bump?

[42:08] Is he touching her tummy in a weird way?

[42:11] That's about a writer.

[42:13] A writer, you said?

[42:16] Uh, Dan Stewart, you want to steal this?

[42:18] Take a point.

[42:18] Is there something about Ghost Rider, Spirit of Vengeance you can tell me?

[42:21] Uh, was this, this, I believe this was directed by the people behind Crank.

[42:27] Neville Eden Taylor.

[42:29] Is this true?

[42:29] I don't look it up.

[42:31] Okay.

[42:33] I shall.

[42:34] But while he's looking up Stewart, this is your chance to steal from Dan Steele.

[42:38] Rider.

[42:39] Uh, man, I don't remember this one.

[42:41] Is it Interstellar Bandit?

[42:44] Yes, it is by the directors of Crank.

[42:47] Wow.

[42:47] Was I right?

[42:48] I don't think Interstellar Bandit is in it.

[42:49] Interstellar Bandit is in it.

[42:50] Yes, it was.

[42:51] Oh, he is?

[42:51] Who does he play in it?

[42:53] Uh, Moreau.

[42:55] Okay.

[42:55] Don't know who that is.

[42:57] So, Dan, you're next.

[42:58] You're not going to give Stewart a point for the Interstellar Bandit?

[43:01] Well, Dan had already gotten, all right, I'll give him one.

[43:03] You're hurting yourself, y'all.

[43:04] Here, Hallie.

[43:05] I know, but I, I just want to take care.

[43:07] He just wants to take points away from you.

[43:09] You're just such a friend.

[43:09] You like it to be fair, I'm into it.

[43:11] Yeah.

[43:12] I believe in justice.

[43:13] Yes.

[43:13] Uh, Dan, this one's for you.

[43:16] Uh, Dan, this one's for you.

[43:18] Episode 96, Dreamhouse.

[43:22] Uh, I think that there are ghosts in Dreamhouse.

[43:26] There's ghosts.

[43:27] What else can you tell me about Dreamhouse?

[43:29] I believe this is the film where Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz, uh, fell in love.

[43:34] You're right, it is.

[43:35] That's the only thing I can remember about it.

[43:36] Yeah, because they're so fucking hot.

[43:38] Yeah.

[43:39] Yeah.

[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?

[43:44] Well, I didn't, I was asking which one Stuart was saying.

[43:47] I think they both are.

[43:49] Yeah.

[43:49] Okay.

[43:50] Yeah.

[43:50] That's great.

[43:51] All right, fine.

[43:52] They're both hot.

[43:53] Okay, then.

[43:54] Sure.

[43:54] God, back off.

[43:55] Okay.

[43:56] One ticket for queer, please.

[43:59] Uh, 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.

[44:08] Definitely a ghost.

[44:10] I'm so sorry to tell you this, Stuart.

[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, isn't it a ghost story?

[44:17] It's those creepy sisters, right?

[44:18] But is one of them a ghost?

[44:19] I can't remember.

[44:21] Um, I think it, I think there is a ghost in that.

[44:24] Why didn't you look this stuff up if you designed this game?

[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.

[44:31] There are ghosts in The Uninvited.

[44:37] Healthy sisters.

[44:38] The thing is, there's also a 40s movie called The Uninvited, which is about a ghost,

[44:41] which is unrelated.

[44:43] Uh, no, it got me.

[44:45] Okay.

[44:46] Uh, we find out that, uh, well, wait a minute.

[44:51] Alex is not a real person, but a manifestation of Anna's disturbed mind.

[44:56] Yes, essentially making her a ghost.

[44:58] No, 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.

[45:05] So Stuart, but Stuart, you just showed me.

[45:08] Do you think that Ghostbusters would show up and like,

[45:10] suck up Paul Bettany in a beautiful mind?

[45:13] Like, like the Ghostbusters, like we've got a drop dead Fred situation.

[45:18] So, uh, Stuart, no point for that, but I am going to give you a point for your fast

[45:21] research skills of looking up the plot so quickly.

[45:24] Uh, now it's up to you, Hallie.

[45:27] Episode 47, The Unborn.

[45:31] Ghost or no ghost in The Unborn.

[45:34] Not a movie about abortion.

[45:35] Don't get sidetracked.

[45:36] Oh, that's what I was thinking.

[45:38] Um, 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?

[45:47] There is a white man.

[45:57] Yeah, technically true.

[45:58] I guess I'll give you that.

[45:59] That's a fun fact.

[46:01] I believe that this is the rare film that is about a Dybbuk.

[46:04] Is that right?

[46:05] It is about a Dybbuk.

[46:06] This is the movie that was where the poster is entirely around a woman's butt, too.

[46:10] Yeah.

[46:11] Remember, she's looking in the mirror and in underpants.

[46:13] She's looking in the mirror.

[46:14] But most of the poster is about the fact that she's not wearing outer pants, but underpants.

[46:18] But this is about a Dybbuk.

[46:19] What is a Dybbuk?

[46:20] A Dybbuk is a Jewish ghost, basically.

[46:22] Oh.

[46:22] You know, uh, Dan, it's up to you.

[46:26] Your turn.

[46:27] Episode 36, The Spirit.

[46:30] Is there a ghost or no ghost in The Spirit?

[46:33] Uh, 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.

[46:46] So I'm going to say no.

[46:47] There's no ghost.

[46:48] He did die and was brought back by chemicals.

[46:51] Uh, he is not, uh, not really a ghost.

[46:53] Although maybe it's ambiguous sometimes.

[46:55] Who knows?

[46:56] Did you say chemicals?

[46:57] Yeah, chemicals.

[46:58] Can you tell me anything else about The Spirit?

[47:00] Well, this was, uh, a Frank Miller made movie.

[47:04] So there are a bunch of swastikas around for no reason.

[47:08] That's very true, Stuart.

[47:11] Okay, here's a movie that you're kind of associated with.

[47:13] Episode 34, Mirrors.

[47:18] Ghosts.

[47:19] There are no ghosts in Mirrors.

[47:20] They're fucking demons.

[47:21] They're demons, yes.

[47:23] And what can you tell me about the movie Mirrors, other than that they're demons?

[47:27] So at the end, someone's looking at a mirror.

[47:34] Yeah.

[47:34] And Kiefer Sutherland's looking at himself in a mirror.

[47:38] Yeah.

[47:38] Or something.

[47:40] Yeah.

[47:41] Yeah, 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, he's a, come on.

[47:51] So he's in there.

[47:52] But really?

[47:55] Yeah.

[47:56] Wait, he's in the mirror.

[47:58] Yeah.

[47:58] I feel like I'm high.

[47:59] This is crazy.

[48:01] This was a Bluff House callback.

[48:03] You're welcome.

[48:05] Okay, 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.

[48:18] Hallie, episode 19, the movie is called Premonition.

[48:24] No ghost.

[48:25] There's no ghost in Premonition.

[48:26] What can you tell me about it?

[48:27] Anything?

[48:28] Bruce Willis.

[48:29] Loved it.

[48:32] So just that he enjoyed the movie.

[48:35] I mean, there's no way of knowing for sure.

[48:36] So I'll give you a point for that, I guess.

[48:38] That's a Sandy Bullock movie, right?

[48:39] That is a Sandy Bullock movie, yeah.

[48:40] That's the one with the prose.

[48:42] She's, yeah, she's foreseeing her husband's death.

[48:45] And at the end, she just kind of has to let it happen.

[48:47] Dan?

[48:48] Yeah.

[48:48] Episode 12, Awake.

[48:53] Oh, God.

[48:56] No ghost.

[48:58] No ghost.

[48:58] What else can you tell me about it?

[49:00] This is about a guy who, they think he's dead.

[49:05] But he's just sort of like, he's got some sort of medical condition that's paralyzing him.

[49:10] Yeah, you got it.

[49:11] And who's that guy?

[49:11] Do you remember?

[49:13] Was that, what's his face?

[49:16] Anakin Skywalker.

[49:17] It was, what's his face?

[49:18] Anakin Skywalker.

[49:18] Somebody who hates sand.

[49:20] Yeah.

[49:21] I forget his name.

[49:23] Hayden Christians.

[49:23] Yeah, that's the guy.

[49:24] And so, Stuart, finally, the last one is for you.

[49:27] This is the, this is for the end of the game.

[49:30] Episode 8, I Know Who Killed Me.

[49:36] No ghost.

[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.

[49:43] The killer uses blue glass knives.

[49:49] An incredibly fragile way to kill somebody.

[49:51] What a movie.

[49:53] That robot hand in there.

[49:54] There's a robot hand.

[49:56] It is kind of like a giallo.

[49:58] And, uh, it was.

[50:00] way better on the big screen than on the small screen yeah well uh at one point i think the

[50:05] movie opens with lindsay lohan doing a strip tease to a melvin song that's all i mean you're

[50:12] welcome you've given me so many you've given me so many facts i can only give you one point but

[50:16] you did you really you really figured out that movie so we're looking at the final scores for

[50:21] the game and here's what we have wait one second okay well i'll just do a little music while elliot

[50:27] okay that's all the music i needed wait do a little bit more

[50:38] i'm a ghost i'm a lover but a ghost um so i'm your mother

[50:48] here are the final scores that that was what a game you guys really remembered more about

[50:52] these movies than i thought you were going to i was thought there's gonna be a lot more uh

[50:56] what huh what is that but everyone did really well hallie you unfortunately came in third with

[51:02] 17 points very respectable show i mean that's amazing considering you're not here for many of

[51:07] those movies one of those points was i give you a point for saying that bruce willis liked the

[51:12] movie premonition but setting that aside 17 points that's great dan he earned that one dan

[51:21] you have 22 points and stewart you are tied with dan with 22 points dan and stewart tied

[51:28] equal movie knowledge equal hosts perfects perfects perfects so you are both tied for

[51:33] second place i would of course been in first place had i been playing but since i wasn't

[51:37] we'll just assume i got like 45 points yeah dan is pissed right now he is like a sports fan in

[51:42] philadelphia look out on me today i am so now look i the only thing that would have made me

[51:49] happy with this outcome is if hallie somehow sped ahead and won the whole game but it makes

[51:54] me so happy that dan stewart tied because it's like a balance has been restored to the universe

[52:01] neither one of them can say they are better or worse at remembering these movies they are both

[52:05] mediocre and evil evil and yeah evil and good are in balance once again it's a real yin yang

[52:11] situation well i hope that you the listener have enjoyed this trip through flop house episodes

[52:17] past i hope you find that inner balance as well between your inner stewart and your inner dan
