FH Mini 112 - Months I Like on Film
Transcript
[0:00]
Hey, everybody. Welcome to another Flophouse miniature episode. Flophouse minis, as we
[0:09]
call them. This is an off-week episode for the Flophouse. You know, usually we watch
[0:13]
a bad movie and then we talk about it. But otherwise, I shouldn't say usually, it's half
[0:17]
and half. The other half of the time, we just do whatever we want, whenever we want. Nobody
[0:22]
gets to tell us what to do because we are our own bosses and we are independent, just
[0:27]
lovely ladies. Cereal for dinner, baby. Yep. So, my name is Elliot Kalin. I'm joined today
[0:33]
by my regular hosts, friends, and lovers. Kinda. I mean, it's a platonic love, but sure.
[0:42]
Dan McCoy is my name. Right now, I find out. And I'm Stuart Wellington. And thank you so
[0:49]
much for joining me again, guys. Thank you, audience, for joining me. I'm going to admit
[0:52]
right off the bat that my life has been super busy lately. And so, if not... My life! You're
[0:58]
right. Sorry. I should have said it. I should have said it. You did it. That's the best
[1:04]
joke of the episode. Goodbye, everybody. My life has been super busy, so I haven't been
[1:08]
able to put as much work into this mini as I have for previous minis like The Chop House,
[1:13]
my relatively recent Top 10 Meats in the Movies episode. So, I am going to introduce a new
[1:18]
concept in this episode with its own title, but then we'll go from there. It struck me,
[1:24]
guys, that there are a lot of movies built around times of the year, events. But rarely,
[1:31]
sometimes, but rarely do you see movies that really capture the feeling of a specific month.
[1:37]
And I thought maybe we could try our hand at figuring out what movies work best for
[1:41]
what kinds of months in an episode I'm entitling MILF, Months I Like on Film. So, guys, let's
[1:48]
talk about MILFs on this one. Months I Like on Film. Are we restricted from using movies
[1:57]
that are tied to holidays because of this? I don't think so. The rules are as loose as
[2:05]
possible. But I think let's try to expand our thinking when we can. So, it's not just
[2:09]
because you could say like, oh, February, Valentine's Day, that's a movie already.
[2:14]
Actually, I got a really easy one here, guys. This is so obvious. May, December. It's obviously
[2:19]
May. Or wait, or is it December? Or is it May? Maybe it's December. Look at his face.
[2:28]
He's so struggling to wrap his mind around this. And the problem is he walked himself
[2:31]
into this one. That's the thing. This is a Gordian knot he tied himself.
[2:34]
I'd love to help, but he has to learn, you know?
[2:36]
Yeah.
[2:36]
Maybe, wait, what's in between them?
[2:40]
I'm going to try and split the difference. It's not going to work.
[2:42]
You know what, Stewart? Let's jog you out of this one by starting with the beginning
[2:46]
of the year. Let's just go month by month. We don't have to spend a lot of time on each.
[2:49]
So, January. There are lots of movies that are set around New Year's Eve, for instance,
[2:54]
or New Year's Day. New Year's Eve, I guess, technically is December. But let's save that
[2:57]
for the end. But what's the feeling of a January? Where you guys live in New York,
[3:02]
January is cold. It's pretty gross. The holidays are over.
[3:08]
A couple of sort of leak winter movies that sprung to mind, for whatever reason.
[3:16]
Now, obviously, in South America, these would not be January movies.
[3:20]
No, no, no. Look, this is all going to come from our particular perspectives. But
[3:26]
the Sweet Hereafter and Affliction both came to me as very wintry films.
[3:33]
Yeah, or like the Ice Storm. It's got ice right in the name. Those all feel very
[3:36]
January-ish. Yeah. You could cheat, put a movie with January Jones in there,
[3:42]
like what, X-Men First Class, or the three burials of Milkus Estrada. But I think that's a good way
[3:49]
to go. It's kind of freezy, wintry, January movies. That's great. Let's move on to February,
[3:55]
shall we? A totally different month, totally different weather than January.
[3:58]
I don't think so.
[3:59]
Uh-oh, then we might have a problem here. So, what's different between February and January?
[4:04]
Uh, I would say that February makes me angrier than January because I'm like,
[4:10]
this shit's still happening. Don't even get me started on March. Oh, boy.
[4:15]
Oh, boy. Well, let's get to March when we get to March. Stuart,
[4:17]
how do you feel differently about February? Or does it also
[4:19]
inspire rage in you the way it does in January?
[4:21]
Well, my birthday's in February, so I kind of like it, you know?
[4:26]
All right. I like that. Okay. Yay and nay, pro and con on February. So,
[4:30]
we're thinking of a gloomy, wintry birthday type of movie.
[4:35]
It's also a short month. Yeah.
[4:38]
It is a short month. So, you want like a short month.
[4:40]
Honestly, that's why I hate it less than March because it's short.
[4:44]
So, here's the thing. If there's not a movie that comes to mind that exists,
[4:48]
what if we made one up, guys? What if we made up a February movie, a short,
[4:51]
wintry birthday movie? What would that movie be like? Who would be in it? What would it be about?
[4:56]
So, it's a wintry birthday. Yes.
[5:00]
Jack Frost could be having a birthday. Jack Frost's birthday, sure.
[5:04]
Jack Frost is having a birthday. And yeah, he's mad.
[5:08]
And it's marrying a snowman. So, it's a birthday wedding?
[5:13]
Yeah, it is. And maybe he's mad because his birthday should be February 29th,
[5:18]
but not every year is a leap year. So, that's why he's going to
[5:23]
freeze the earth so it stops turning and it's always February 29th.
[5:27]
Totally Pisces behavior right there, baby. What I also like about this is it has like
[5:32]
three premises now, which is par for the course for modern films. So, we'll probably
[5:37]
get the green light on this one. Do you remember when movies just had a story
[5:42]
and you watched it and it was over and then you enjoyed it?
[5:45]
Yeah, we would also have to explore why Jack Frost has a birthday,
[5:49]
what his relationship to birthdays is. So, the viewer would be like,
[5:53]
wait, he's just having a birthday? Yeah, yeah.
[5:55]
That doesn't make sense at all. We have to show him as a little kid when
[5:58]
he was, yeah, little Jackson Frostowitz, yeah, before he professionally changed his name.
[6:04]
Sure, yeah. Okay, so I think we've got it.
[6:06]
And what's the name of this February movie?
[6:12]
Go on. I'm just thinking that I feel like
[6:14]
Frost needs to be in the title. Frost Nixon, you got it.
[6:17]
It's called Frost Nixon. Frost Nixon.
[6:19]
Yeah, that's the movie. It actually makes a lot of sense.
[6:21]
Yeah, I would also, you could also call it the longest February.
[6:24]
This just keeps going, you know, because he freezes the earth.
[6:28]
Okay, let's move on to March. What do we know about March?
[6:31]
March, similarly often cold, but not as much near the end of it.
[6:35]
You know, basketball time, March. People are literally driven insane
[6:38]
and the only thing that can cure it is basketball.
[6:41]
I feel like a good March movie would be something like, I don't know, like
[6:46]
Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring, because they're marching all over creation.
[6:50]
They do march a lot. That's true. That's a good point.
[6:53]
Also, the music man has a lot of marching in it.
[6:55]
Yep, fair. Clearly not set in March, but, you know, that's maybe what I'm thinking of it too,
[7:00]
literally, you know.
[7:04]
I'm sure, I mean, obviously it's different in other parts of the country.
[7:06]
Here in New York, like people are always like, yeah, it's March, it's almost spring.
[7:11]
You have forgotten, like every year you seem to forget.
[7:14]
It is not. It is essentially February, part two is what March is.
[7:21]
Shaking people on the street, yelling at them.
[7:25]
So here's the movie I'm thinking of, a cranky old man who's mad that everybody
[7:29]
else is looking forward to the spring too early.
[7:33]
Let's call him Stan.
[7:35]
Yeah, let's call him Stan Regoy.
[7:38]
And yeah, and he's got to learn how to find his inner March hair.
[7:43]
That's right.
[7:44]
There's a magical rabbit that is going to teach him the wonders of March,
[7:49]
and that it's okay to look forward to spring.
[7:51]
How about that?
[7:52]
And that rabbit's name is Blarvey?
[7:56]
Yeah, Blarvey, which, I don't know, I mean, that implies that he's like the Black Harvey, which,
[8:01]
I mean, it's fine.
[8:04]
There's nothing wrong with that.
[8:05]
Yeah, the Tracy Jordan 30 Rock movie.
[8:10]
It does feel like a 30 Rock joke is Tracy Jordan's going to be a remake of Harvey.
[8:17]
Well, okay, we'll figure out the rabbit's name later or never again.
[8:20]
We're never talking about this ever again.
[8:21]
Let's move on to April.
[8:23]
April, look, can you at least admit that April is when spring has arrived?
[8:28]
Yeah, no, look.
[8:30]
What makes it the cruelest month?
[8:32]
Yeah, because I don't know when things are getting better.
[8:34]
Yeah, I'm imagining that maybe it's because it teases you.
[8:37]
Like, if you think that, you know, I mean, the most obvious movie for this month
[8:43]
is a little movie starring Katie Holmes, nieces of April.
[8:46]
Yeah, yeah.
[8:48]
I mean, her name is April, right?
[8:49]
That's the movie where she's frozen with liquid nitrogen and shatters.
[8:52]
And her family has to put her back together.
[8:53]
I mean, it is, I believe, a Thanksgiving movie.
[8:56]
It is very, very clearly a movie about Thanksgiving.
[8:59]
That's the confusing part about it.
[9:01]
Not since Home for the Holidays has there been a Thanksgiving movie
[9:04]
so overtly about the holiday.
[9:06]
Uh, for sure.
[9:07]
That's a Thanksgiving movie, right?
[9:08]
Home for the Holidays?
[9:10]
Yes.
[9:10]
Yeah, okay.
[9:11]
Jodie Foster's directorial debut.
[9:14]
Yeah, you get one of those actors who like edits things as a hobby for
[9:18]
to like just edit all the Thanksgiving stuff out of pieces of April.
[9:21]
And then that'll be April.
[9:22]
I like that.
[9:22]
Instead of getting a professional editor to do it, we're getting like, like how, um,
[9:26]
was it was it Topher Grace who edited all the Star Wars movie?
[9:30]
That's what I'm thinking of.
[9:31]
Yeah.
[9:32]
To have that time on your hands.
[9:33]
Oh, what a, what a fantasy.
[9:37]
So, okay.
[9:37]
So we're, so for April, I guess, yeah, we're just taking pieces of April and
[9:40]
editing all the Thanksgiving stuff out.
[9:42]
Yep.
[9:43]
Maybe we can add in some lines like, what?
[9:45]
I can't wait for spring to really get here.
[9:47]
You know, we could do that.
[9:48]
Still surprisingly chilly.
[9:50]
Another option.
[9:51]
We, you could do, uh, you could do like How High or Half Baked because
[9:55]
April 20th is 420 guys.
[10:00]
I think How High might be hard because that's about
[10:03]
the beginning of the school year, right?
[10:05]
Like they're going to, or am I thinking of a different movie?
[10:07]
Yeah, because isn't How High the one
[10:10]
where they're going to Harvard
[10:12]
because they've got super smart weed?
[10:14]
Is that it?
[10:15]
Right, I think that's it, actually.
[10:16]
I have not seen the big white weed movies.
[10:18]
I remember enjoying that one.
[10:20]
I've never seen How High, I've never seen Half Baked,
[10:23]
I've not seen a Cheech and or a Chong together.
[10:26]
Is it simply so that when you would be talking
[10:29]
to a drug dealer, you'd be like,
[10:30]
sorry, man, I can't, I have nothing to talk to you about.
[10:33]
I'm like, oh, you like movies, do you like this one?
[10:35]
You're like, sorry, just the transaction.
[10:40]
Yeah, yeah.
[10:41]
My heart sinks when they're like,
[10:42]
have you seen Smiley Face?
[10:43]
I'm like, yeah, I have seen Smiley Face,
[10:45]
I have to admit, I have seen Smiley Face, sorry.
[10:49]
And then what happens with the rest of the conversation?
[10:53]
Oh, you know, just a recap of Smiley Face,
[10:55]
what's funny about Smiley Face.
[10:56]
Okay.
[10:57]
Horror movie where people smile and then they die.
[11:00]
It's called Smile.
[11:01]
Okay.
[11:02]
Smile, the movie about the,
[11:04]
Smile, the movie about the beauty pageant?
[11:07]
Oh, no, you're thinking, yeah,
[11:08]
the Michael Ritchie 70s film.
[11:10]
Yeah, different one.
[11:12]
Okay.
[11:13]
Turns out there's a lot of movies about smiling.
[11:15]
Yeah, that's true.
[11:16]
I'm Dan McCoy for the flop outs.
[11:18]
It's probably one of the top two
[11:19]
most common facial expressions in film, smiling.
[11:23]
And it's arguably what most movies
[11:25]
are trying to get you to do.
[11:26]
Yeah, yeah.
[11:27]
Most movies like May, December,
[11:29]
you mentioned earlier.
[11:31]
The Iron Man Joker movie.
[11:31]
Whether or not, whether or not that was their intention,
[11:34]
they achieved that goal.
[11:37]
So let's move on.
[11:39]
So April, we didn't really,
[11:41]
we didn't really fully get there, but that's okay.
[11:42]
May, let's talk about-
[11:43]
I thought I did a really good job.
[11:45]
I threw out so many options.
[11:46]
No, that's true, those were good options.
[11:47]
Let's talk about May, shall we?
[11:49]
May, spring is springing.
[11:52]
The May flowers are blooming.
[11:55]
You guys think of a movie, it's called May.
[11:58]
Lucky McHugh's May.
[11:59]
I think, you're getting hung up on the titles,
[12:04]
and you're not, you're digging deep.
[12:08]
I'm looking, yeah, I'm thinking meadows,
[12:12]
like running through meadows, maybe.
[12:13]
Yeah, yeah, allergies, sure, yeah.
[12:15]
Yeah, at first I was like-
[12:17]
Is the right movie for May just a Claritin commercial?
[12:20]
Yeah.
[12:21]
I feel like My Girl's more of a summer movie
[12:22]
because they're on vacation, but-
[12:24]
Because it's the summer in the movie,
[12:26]
and summer is traditionally the season
[12:27]
when Macaulay Culkin dies of a bee sting, yeah.
[12:30]
Yeah, every year.
[12:31]
Would, so wait,
[12:35]
Jay's confused.
[12:36]
Is that like end of May or early June?
[12:37]
That would be like early June, I think.
[12:39]
I mean, I don't know when-
[12:40]
I don't remember when school years end.
[12:41]
I don't know when Texas school years end, especially,
[12:44]
but yeah, but that could be,
[12:45]
maybe that's the end of May.
[12:46]
It's got a good vibe, though, a good spring vibe.
[12:48]
Yeah, it's not quite a summer vibe, too.
[12:50]
Yeah, even though it's schools letting out,
[12:52]
it's not quite the summer vibe.
[12:53]
So I guess we could say dazed and confused.
[12:56]
Sure, yeah, I guess that's our May movie.
[12:58]
Now, let's do one more movie before we-
[13:00]
We may.
[13:01]
What?
[13:02]
I was just saying we may, you know?
[13:04]
Wish I hadn't stopped to find out
[13:05]
what you told me you said.
[13:06]
Yeah, sort of, so do I.
[13:08]
I misheard it, and I was like,
[13:09]
surely Dan has a banger,
[13:10]
and I just want to make sure
[13:11]
it gets the attention it deserves.
[13:13]
It was more of a-
[13:13]
Actually, Dan, do you want to give that another pass?
[13:15]
I'd say it was more of an Elliott,
[13:16]
where it's like, oh, maybe that pun wasn't needed
[13:20]
to derail the next thing that we were gonna go on to.
[13:24]
Fewer jokes on the podcast, Dan.
[13:26]
No, no, everyone loves it.
[13:27]
Everyone loves it.
[13:28]
Everyone loves it.
[13:30]
My mom, she tells me I'm cool.
[13:33]
Oh, wow.
[13:34]
Roland Mars laughs at you all the time.
[13:35]
I listen to it.
[13:36]
Yeah, all these totally real people.
[13:37]
You wouldn't know them.
[13:38]
They go to school in Canada.
[13:39]
They go to school.
[13:40]
All these Canadian girlfriends of mine,
[13:42]
yeah, they all think I'm hilarious.
[13:43]
They're models.
[13:44]
Yeah.
[13:45]
Yeah, you wouldn't have seen any of their ad campaigns.
[13:47]
I don't have like a picture picture.
[13:48]
That's why I had to cut a picture
[13:49]
of my girlfriend out of a magazine
[13:51]
to show it to you, yeah.
[13:54]
So let's move on to June.
[13:54]
Don't say Benny in June, Stuart.
[13:56]
Like just not, it's not about the month of June.
[14:00]
But it's spelled the same.
[14:01]
It's not spelled the same, Stuart.
[14:04]
It's not.
[14:05]
Stuart.
[14:08]
How do I get through to you?
[14:09]
The spelling of the month, June.
[14:12]
So June, it is the end of the school year.
[14:14]
The summer is here and people couldn't be happier.
[14:17]
What's it?
[14:18]
Dancing in the streets.
[14:20]
Yeah, people are dancing in the streets.
[14:22]
What is a, what's a, I mean,
[14:23]
it could be a school's out movie.
[14:25]
There's plenty of those, you know.
[14:27]
None come to mind at the moment.
[14:27]
Like recess school's out.
[14:29]
Yeah, what's a, like an, like not a hot summer movie,
[14:38]
but like a pleasant summer movie.
[14:40]
Yeah, it's still kind of springy.
[14:41]
Yeah.
[14:42]
Yeah, your whole life's ahead of you type summer movie.
[14:44]
Yeah, I mean, this could be, it's not,
[14:46]
kids are not quite going to camp yet, you know.
[14:49]
Probably, that's more of a July thing, I think.
[14:52]
What's a movie that's about June, then?
[14:54]
I mean, also, this is an experience of kids,
[14:56]
school going out.
[14:57]
For many adults, June is just another month
[15:00]
in the endless death march that is professional careers, yeah.
[15:04]
Yeah, Carousel has a song
[15:05]
about how June is busted out all over,
[15:08]
but that's just the one song.
[15:10]
Yeah.
[15:11]
So that probably doesn't apply.
[15:12]
There's not a lot of June-specific material
[15:13]
in Carousel otherwise, yeah.
[15:15]
Yeah, mm-hmm.
[15:16]
Yeah, it's more problematic than June-focused.
[15:20]
Very much so.
[15:21]
I liked this play when it was about June.
[15:26]
I didn't like the second act so much.
[15:29]
People dying, getting hit?
[15:31]
I don't like it.
[15:32]
Who's this character?
[15:35]
Old person who just walked out of a production of Carousel.
[15:38]
A focus group?
[15:39]
Sure, I'll tell you what I thought.
[15:41]
On a scale of one to 10,
[15:42]
the June material, 10 out of 10, loved it.
[15:45]
I also enjoyed the stuff about clam bakes
[15:47]
and how they were real nice.
[15:50]
Ah, Carousel.
[15:52]
Some very little lyrics in that.
[15:53]
They are gonna have a real nice clam bake.
[15:54]
Oh, is that a movie, or is it a-
[15:56]
Yeah, they did a movie of it, but-
[15:57]
They did a movie?
[15:58]
Okay, let's go.
[15:59]
It's a ride at Universal Studios.
[16:01]
Carousel, the movie, the ride, yeah.
[16:03]
What a ride, too.
[16:04]
You better walk with your head held high
[16:06]
through this storm,
[16:07]
because the rain is blowing in,
[16:09]
and they hit you with the blowers and the water, yeah.
[16:11]
You know, it's like a 40X experience, right?
[16:13]
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
[16:14]
So I think that covers June, right?
[16:16]
I guess, yeah, yeah.
[16:17]
Twister?
[16:18]
Yeah, Twister.
[16:19]
Like we found it at the end, 40X, Twister?
[16:22]
Yeah, Twister, the perfect June movie, yep, okay.
[16:25]
Let's go with Twister.
[16:27]
So, hey, everybody.
[16:29]
We're gonna take a quick break
[16:30]
as we reach the middle of the year,
[16:32]
just to talk about some Flophouse stuff that's going on.
[16:34]
As you may remember from the announcement
[16:36]
at the top of this episode,
[16:37]
Flop TV season two has begun.
[16:41]
That's right, Flop TV season two.
[16:43]
As of the release of this episode,
[16:45]
I believe we will only have done
[16:47]
the first episode of Flop TV two, that was RoboCop two.
[16:50]
But coming up on the first Saturday in October,
[16:54]
that's October 5th at 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Pacific,
[16:58]
we'll be broadcasting live on your computer.
[17:00]
If you have a ticket,
[17:01]
we're talking about Break Into Electric Boogaloo,
[17:05]
the second episode of Flop TV season two.
[17:08]
Can't make it to the live broadcast?
[17:11]
That is okay.
[17:12]
Your ticket or your season pass
[17:14]
gets you access to the video right after the show happens,
[17:18]
and that video's gonna stay up through the end of February.
[17:20]
You can watch it as many times as you want,
[17:21]
in whatever order you want, with whoever you want.
[17:24]
I'm not judging, just enjoy it.
[17:27]
Anytime through the end of February,
[17:29]
season passes and individual tickets.
[17:32]
You can get individual tickets,
[17:33]
but the season pass is a six-show bundle,
[17:35]
six shows for the price of five,
[17:36]
and it does get you access to that first episode.
[17:39]
So in case you missed it,
[17:40]
there's still a reason to get that season pass.
[17:41]
Go to theflophouse.simpletics.com,
[17:46]
and pulling back the curtain,
[17:47]
we're recording this the day after
[17:49]
our first episode, RoboCup 2,
[17:51]
and guys, I had a lot of fun.
[17:53]
I thought it was really great,
[17:54]
and I really enjoyed it.
[17:56]
And then, you know, it's RoboCup 2.
[17:58]
Yeah, well, I mean, the movie was fun to watch,
[18:00]
but also the show that we did was good.
[18:03]
Oh, yeah.
[18:04]
I'll make it clear again,
[18:05]
you are not buying a ticket to watch RoboCup 2.
[18:07]
You will only be watching-
[18:08]
We don't have the rights for this.
[18:10]
We don't have the rights,
[18:11]
both legally or morally, to do that.
[18:13]
We are watching, but it is us talking about it.
[18:15]
It is a kind of one-hour condensed version
[18:18]
of The Flop House where you get to see us,
[18:19]
but there's also some fun video stuff.
[18:21]
There's some new interstitial things that we're doing.
[18:24]
It is a slowly transforming
[18:27]
into a professional television show production.
[18:31]
Yeah, watch us metamorphose over the years
[18:34]
from like a gooey caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly.
[18:38]
I don't know why the caterpillar's gooey.
[18:40]
I've actually never seen a gooey caterpillar.
[18:42]
No, they are not gooey.
[18:43]
They are soft and surprisingly harder
[18:45]
than you think they're gonna be.
[18:46]
Yeah.
[18:47]
And kind of cute.
[18:47]
Yeah, we are currently,
[18:49]
my younger son is growing a silkworm right now,
[18:51]
raising it so that it can become a-
[18:52]
Oh, yeah, so he can start providing for the family.
[18:55]
Exactly, thank you.
[18:56]
It's time for him to earn his keep.
[18:57]
And that thing is growing huge.
[18:58]
We keep being like, when is this thing gonna pupate?
[19:00]
It's getting enormous.
[19:02]
So soon I'll have to drive it around in my car.
[19:04]
That's how big it's gonna be.
[19:05]
It's just squirting silk all over creation.
[19:08]
At some point you're like, oh my God,
[19:10]
that's not a silkworm.
[19:11]
But then it's too late.
[19:12]
It's a Mexican sewer rat, yeah.
[19:14]
Yeah, yeah.
[19:15]
Just like in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, yeah.
[19:18]
Well, Flophouse 2.
[19:20]
Flophouse season two.
[19:21]
Go to-
[19:22]
Flop TV.
[19:23]
Yeah, sorry.
[19:24]
Yeah, go to Flop for Flop TV tickets
[19:26]
and then go to theflophouse.simpletics.com.
[19:34]
Hello, internet.
[19:35]
I'm your husband host, Travis McElroy.
[19:37]
And I'm your wife host, Teresa McElroy.
[19:39]
And this is a promo for Schmanners.
[19:41]
It's Extraordinary Etiquette.
[19:42]
For ordinary occasions.
[19:44]
Every week, we're gonna tell you about a bit of culture,
[19:47]
a bit of history, how etiquette still applies
[19:50]
in the modern day, all that stuff.
[19:52]
We also love to do biographies and histories of,
[19:55]
and you know, general procedurals.
[19:57]
How to do etiquette.
[20:00]
So come check it out every Friday on MaximumFund.org or wherever you find your podcasts.
[20:07]
Manners Schmanners, get it?
[20:12]
My name is Doug Duguay and I'm here to talk about my podcast in the middle of the one
[20:15]
you're listening to.
[20:16]
It's called Valley Heat and it's about my neighborhood, the Burbank Rancho Equestrian
[20:20]
District, the center of the world when it comes to foosball, frisbee golf, and high
[20:24]
speed freeway roller skating.
[20:26]
And there's been a jaguar parked outside on my curb for 10 months.
[20:29]
I have no idea who owns it.
[20:30]
I have a feeling it's related to the drug drop that was happening in my garbage can
[20:34]
a little over a year ago.
[20:35]
And if this has been a boring commercial, imagine 45 minutes of it.
[20:39]
Okay, Valley Heat.
[20:40]
It's on every month on MaximumFund.org or wherever you get podcasts.
[20:44]
Check it out, but honestly, skip it.
[20:46]
These are the chronicles of the Rancho Equestrian District in Burbank, California.
[20:50]
These are the events taking place in my house and around my house.
[20:54]
Do you guys have any other announcements before we get jumped back into the months I like
[20:58]
on film?
[20:59]
Milf?
[21:00]
Uh, I mean, I know Stuart does some Twitch streams.
[21:04]
If I try to do a regular weekly Twitch stream where I hang out for an hour or two building
[21:09]
and painting Warhammer models, if you have any dying, if you're dying, if you're dying
[21:15]
to ask me any questions or chat with me, that's a good place to find me.
[21:18]
And my Twitch account is just Stuart Wellington over on Twitch.
[21:22]
And yeah, I usually do a weekday afternoons.
[21:25]
I'll say a couple of newsletter things.
[21:29]
The Flophouse has a newsletter called Flop Secrets that comes out a couple times a month.
[21:35]
You can go to flophousepodcast.com and right on the front page, if you just put your email
[21:40]
in there, you can sign up and you'll get news about us, you know, maybe some side things
[21:47]
that we're doing that we don't have time to mention on the podcast or whatever, some extra
[21:52]
writing to make it fun.
[21:54]
And I have a personal newsletter called Dan McCoy's Special Interests.
[21:59]
If you go to danmccoyinterests.com, you can sign up for that.
[22:04]
It's pop culture, commentary, personal essay, hybrid sort of stuff with jokes in it.
[22:11]
Yeah, I like them too.
[22:15]
Let's tell some more, everybody.
[22:16]
Oh, and also if you're in a comic book store, why not check out Disney Hercules from Dynamite
[22:20]
Comics written by me on store shelves.
[22:22]
Now it's a fun story that continues the tales of the characters from the Disney Hercules
[22:28]
movie.
[22:29]
But let's get back into the months, everybody, back to MILF, Months I Like on Film, a word
[22:34]
that the people at Disney probably don't want me to mention so close to my mention of the
[22:38]
Hercules series.
[22:39]
But what are you going to do?
[22:41]
This is our show and nobody's our boss, as I mentioned earlier.
[22:44]
So we've established January through June.
[22:46]
I think we did a great job.
[22:47]
If I can remember, let's see, January is one of those wintry kind of sad movies.
[22:51]
February was a movie about Jack Frost being mad about his birthday.
[22:56]
March was Stan Ragoi getting mad that people are looking forward to the spring and having
[23:01]
to learn a lesson from a rabbit.
[23:03]
April is Pieces of April with Thanksgiving stuff edited out of it.
[23:07]
May, to be honest, I feel like we didn't really we didn't really land on much of anything,
[23:12]
did we?
[23:13]
You said Days and Confused.
[23:14]
Oh, Days and Confused.
[23:15]
That's right, Days and Confused.
[23:16]
And June.
[23:17]
Oh, maybe June is the one where we kind of.
[23:18]
Well, we sort of landed on Twister as a default at the end.
[23:22]
So Twister.
[23:23]
So I hope I hope you guys will help me keep track of this at the end of the episode, too,
[23:27]
because I've already forgotten some of them.
[23:28]
And of course, anyone who out there, you know, program program film series with these films
[23:35]
like do a marathon in your home.
[23:37]
Yeah.
[23:38]
I mean, Dan's probably going to after this immediately set up a little letterboxd for
[23:42]
the made up movies, I guess.
[23:44]
Just tell those to yourself in your head.
[23:46]
Yeah.
[23:47]
Yeah.
[23:48]
Get all the younglings around the fire and tell that story.
[23:50]
Yeah.
[23:51]
Yeah.
[23:52]
Act it out.
[23:53]
So let's go to July.
[23:54]
It's summer now.
[23:57]
It's things.
[23:58]
There's a lot of things you can do with July.
[23:59]
It's summer camp, summer vacation.
[24:01]
Well, you know, it's got to star Will Smith because that guy was the king of July.
[24:06]
He was the king of July weekend.
[24:08]
That is Will Smith's weekend.
[24:10]
You don't see him in a lot of huge blockbuster movies these days.
[24:13]
I wonder why that is.
[24:14]
Do you remember?
[24:15]
Did something happen?
[24:16]
I seem to recall an incident occurring.
[24:19]
OK.
[24:20]
So maybe.
[24:21]
Are you talking about the time that Chris Rock's face attacked Will Smith's hand on
[24:24]
live television?
[24:25]
Yeah.
[24:26]
That's what happened.
[24:27]
OK.
[24:28]
So it's a Will Smith movie.
[24:29]
Is it a big action blockbuster, big science fiction thing?
[24:32]
Yeah.
[24:33]
It's called Independence Day.
[24:34]
Oh, yeah.
[24:35]
Oh, OK.
[24:36]
That is a pretty.
[24:37]
I mean, that's pretty much.
[24:38]
You got to go with it.
[24:39]
That's about as July a movie as it gets.
[24:40]
Yeah.
[24:41]
Yeah.
[24:42]
Yeah.
[24:43]
If you can come up with a more July movie.
[24:44]
Yeah.
[24:46]
I mean, Born on the Fourth of July is surprisingly little July content in that movie.
[24:51]
Yeah.
[24:52]
Most of Miranda July's movies aren't specific to the season.
[24:54]
No, not at all.
[24:55]
Not at all.
[24:56]
I don't think Kajillionaire is really as much of a July film in many ways.
[25:01]
Yeah.
[25:02]
Independence Day.
[25:03]
You heard it first.
[25:04]
The movie that.
[25:05]
I'm doing really good at L.A.
[25:06]
Yeah.
[25:07]
I guess.
[25:08]
You're doing great.
[25:09]
Dan, you got to open your mind a little bit, you know?
[25:12]
Yeah.
[25:13]
You're right.
[25:14]
You know, I'm sorry.
[25:15]
I'm sorry.
[25:16]
I'm sorry.
[25:17]
But OK, let's go on to the next one.
[25:18]
August.
[25:19]
And now Stuart's going to say August Osage County.
[25:20]
Let's let's.
[25:21]
I don't know that.
[25:22]
I've never seen it.
[25:23]
I don't know if it's actually in August.
[25:24]
So here's something that just occurred to me.
[25:25]
So I when I stay going to take issue with the way I'm running this, this episode, Dan,
[25:30]
staying on the blockbuster action theme.
[25:34]
The first thing that came to my mind for August was Die Hard with a Vengeance, which starts
[25:39]
with, you know, a hot town somewhere in the city, like part of the thing is like, oh,
[25:44]
it's a hot summer in the city on top of all of your neck feeling dirt and gritty.
[25:51]
Oh, man, I think a shower, dude.
[25:54]
But like it to have the hockey mascot on your neck, in addition to everything else that
[26:01]
is going wrong, tempers are flaring because it's hot in the city.
[26:06]
Yeah, because it's so hot.
[26:07]
But I just remember that part of that movie is there's like bomb threats in schools.
[26:13]
Why are these kids in schools in like the hot part of the city that confuses me now?
[26:20]
Maybe it's years out of the school year or the start of school year could be a summer
[26:23]
school.
[26:24]
Unfortunately, there's no there's no films about summer school.
[26:27]
So we don't know.
[26:28]
That actually is a pretty good August suggestion as Dan.
[26:32]
Yeah.
[26:33]
Your complaint, your old man, unnecessary complaint about Die Hard with a Vengeance
[26:36]
has led us around to possibly the perfect August movie.
[26:39]
Summer School, Mark Harmon's Masterpiece, Masterpiece, I mean, the performance he delivers
[26:46]
as what's his character's name again, Dan?
[26:49]
Summer T-School.
[26:50]
The T stands for the yeah, you wouldn't call it Dean Cameron's Masterpiece where you put
[26:57]
one of the ski schools in there.
[26:59]
That's I can't choose between my children.
[27:03]
Yeah.
[27:04]
All right.
[27:05]
Yeah.
[27:06]
Let's say summer school.
[27:07]
Why not?
[27:08]
OK, so August is summer school.
[27:09]
Independence Day.
[27:10]
So that's we're not doing two school movies, although Will Smith really schools those aliens
[27:13]
in how humans don't give up.
[27:17]
Yeah.
[27:18]
And you learn something about how you a MacBook can link up with that Apple software also
[27:23]
links up with alien software.
[27:25]
Yes.
[27:26]
Look, of all the of all the major plot holes for Cranky Dan to not be upset about.
[27:32]
Yes.
[27:33]
Explain that.
[27:34]
They've had years to, like, study this thing.
[27:37]
I always just assumed, like, I'm willing to go with this movie and be like, I don't know,
[27:42]
they figured out some fucking way to interface with this thing over the decades.
[27:46]
Like that's not one that's going to bug me necessarily.
[27:49]
But OK, especially in an independence day, I'm not looking for rigorous, hard sci fi
[27:54]
after this.
[27:55]
But Dan's reacting the way I react when somebody is like, it's ridiculous that an orc would
[27:58]
say meets back on the menu.
[28:00]
They've never seen a menu.
[28:01]
And I'm like, I don't care, but I mean, as the person who has made that point, I don't
[28:06]
appreciate the the aggressive hostility, but I understand I'm coming after one of
[28:10]
your own and going after the Lord of the Rings movies.
[28:13]
Yeah.
[28:14]
Speaking of which, I had no interest in watching that Rings of Power show.
[28:19]
And then I found out that Tom Bombadil was in an episode and I was like, maybe I'll just
[28:23]
watch that one.
[28:24]
I got to see this.
[28:25]
Oh, I haven't even watched that episode yet.
[28:27]
Do you know which episode that I think it's called, like the House of Tom Bombadil or
[28:31]
something like that?
[28:32]
Oh, hell yeah.
[28:33]
It's a pretty big part of the episode.
[28:34]
Is Goldberry in it?
[28:35]
I don't know.
[28:36]
I haven't seen it.
[28:37]
Is Fatty Lumpkin in it?
[28:38]
I don't know.
[28:39]
I haven't seen it, but it just shows where my head is at.
[28:42]
I'm just checking who plays Fatty Lumpkin.
[28:45]
I'm not.
[28:46]
I'm not.
[28:47]
I'm not interested in until the character that Peter Jackson's decided was too silly
[28:51]
for his movies gets put in.
[28:54]
Tom Bombadil.
[28:55]
You know, you know, you know, like, you know, Bezos is like, hell yeah, we're going to put
[29:00]
in the definitive Tom Bombadil.
[29:02]
Yeah.
[29:03]
Now I'm going to go back to looking like low rent Pitbull over here.
[29:09]
Ironic since he is worth so much more than Pitbull, you know, and yet he is not Mr. Worldwide
[29:14]
at all.
[29:15]
No, not at all.
[29:16]
I just love the moment in Lord of the Rings in the books where they're like, why don't
[29:19]
we just give the ring to Tom Bombadil?
[29:20]
And they're like, he would just lose it or something.
[29:23]
Look, he's very powerful, but he's also kind of a flake.
[29:26]
Have you heard these songs he sings about himself?
[29:31]
I mean, if I was all powerful and eternally ancient, I think I just walk around singing
[29:34]
songs about myself, too, you know, so I relate to him.
[29:37]
I feel seen when I read about Tom Bombadil.
[29:39]
Yeah.
[29:40]
I mean, I feel like that's the Elliot character, the Lord of the Rings.
[29:42]
Oh, for sure.
[29:43]
For sure.
[29:44]
Either that or.
[29:45]
We're powerful.
[29:46]
Everybody knows your name.
[29:47]
I mean, exactly.
[29:48]
Who are the who are the what is it?
[29:52]
Is it Mary and Pippin?
[29:54]
Are they the friends?
[29:55]
Come on.
[29:56]
I could see myself being one of those guys, too.
[29:57]
You know, just not being in over his head.
[30:00]
Yes, we've established summer school now. It's September. Ironically in my notes. I have start of school year
[30:04]
But I feel like we've hit the school thing a little already. What's a September movie? Let's not say the movie September
[30:09]
I've never seen it. It's one of Woody Allen movies that I haven't seen
[30:13]
That it's a movie that they reshot the he shot it with one actor and then reshot it with entirely different actor playing that part
[30:20]
I can't remember who the actors were or in it
[30:22]
So September what's a September movie? We can think about the song September. Did they ever make a movie out of that?
[30:30]
Hmm
[30:32]
I don't know. I feel like something like Back to the Future
[30:36]
Okay
[30:37]
Kind of feels like the start of a school year
[30:39]
But it's also kind of like you're worried about time and the passage of time and looking backwards. I don't know
[30:45]
Yeah, I don't get real fall vibes from it is they get more fall by teen wolf
[30:50]
But September doesn't often doesn't feel very fall
[30:53]
It feels you know, like and it technically isn't until two-thirds of the way through the month
[30:58]
Yeah, I don't I don't I don't have to live by those rules. I know I don't know
[31:04]
Ellie lives in California a place where months do not exist
[31:07]
I mean, that's the other thing is in California that the variation is wet and weather is so minimal that uh, okay September
[31:13]
You know what you guys you know seasons better than me. You live in New York. All right back to the future is our September movie
[31:18]
I mean of the three of us, I think Stuart and Dan are the real New Yorkers
[31:23]
Wow
[31:26]
So rough
[31:28]
Thrown I've still lived in New York for longer than I lived anywhere else in my life
[31:31]
But yeah, okay, and the second place was, New Jersey, you know
[31:34]
Which is like a little brother that wants to get on the action, but New Jersey, but New York is like when you're older when you're
[31:39]
older, yeah
[31:41]
Yeah
[31:43]
I think Stewart and Dan are still on top
[31:45]
I guess if we add the amount of time you guys have lived together in New York lived in New York together combine it
[31:51]
You guys lived as roommates
[31:54]
Scoreboard by the way, it's taken score in so many different things. It is a scoreboard
[31:59]
Yeah, losing the value very hard to read. I think in the last in the last episode
[32:04]
You just got two points for something and I don't even remember what it was. Yeah points unrelated to this
[32:09]
Yeah, so moving on so September as said by the true fall New Yorkers Dan and Stu September is back to the future
[32:16]
Let's go to
[32:18]
October now, here's the thing the odd that it feels like the most obvious thing for October would be to choose a Halloween movie
[32:24]
That's just one day out of the month. That's just the last day, you know, no, I know
[32:29]
Most of October is not Halloween. I still want to talk about looking at the numbers 30 31st
[32:35]
30 31st of October is not Halloween. That's true
[32:38]
But I still want to toss out the movie trick or treat which I feel has
[32:44]
Like it's about Halloween, but it has such a tunnel vibes. It doesn't feel very autumnal. That's true. Yeah, very good
[32:51]
setting that stage
[32:53]
No, I'm into it. Yeah, there's lots of leaves change in color
[32:58]
People around yeah, yeah, they're not even on trees anymore. They're just
[33:03]
They get so lazy they just drop their leaves
[33:06]
I
[33:11]
Dan I want you to keep going with this a Dan Dan McCoy foliage pervert. Yeah
[33:16]
Tell us tell us more about what you how you feel about that time of year when the when the trees are just totally starkers
[33:21]
Yeah, yeah, it's the thing though
[33:23]
You know like you don't even need to ask them like they're just dropping leaves like they want you to look at them
[33:29]
Are you sure you don't feel weird? Just staring at them. You don't have to like glance at the corner your eye
[33:34]
Maybe I would if leaf peeping was not like a thing that everyone does
[33:38]
But you talk about like all that leaf peeping you got to do. This is the kind of peeping that's right
[33:45]
Love those leaves. They look even better
[33:50]
Dan do you really want leaves?
[33:54]
Just like the ground but
[33:56]
Yeah
[33:58]
When you're a kid, did you ever accidentally call the ground the floor and everybody made fun of you?
[34:03]
Yes, like when you call like the teacher mom on X. Yeah. Yeah
[34:07]
And you're like, I'll never live this down. I don't gonna be this is a scar forever. Yeah, I
[34:13]
don't want to like call her out because I
[34:17]
But Audrey will still refer to the ground as the floor sometimes Wow
[34:23]
Wow, I think I
[34:26]
Share this story where she can't repeat it. Yeah, I mean for all I know it might be idiomatic
[34:31]
It may be like really now you're calling her an idiot
[34:36]
Language
[34:38]
Now I know we talked about this already and we're kind of done with it
[34:40]
But I didn't want to say my line for for Dan McCoy foliage pervert if he's talking a tree he goes. Hey
[34:45]
Why don't you drop those leaves? Show me if the branches match the roots?
[34:51]
Anyway, so Dan use that the next time I guess you're hitting on a tree. Yes
[34:54]
Yeah
[34:56]
Mostly because I find it so easy to slip into it
[35:01]
That's a fair point, okay trick-or-treat for October trick Ronald's treat now, let's go on to November
[35:08]
Also the fall to be honest. Let's just take those scenes for pieces of April that we cut out and just stick them in here
[35:16]
Because that's what Thanksgiving is all about is just really the leftovers, you know, yeah
[35:22]
Cycling the things you're thankful for every year when you're demanded to recite them, you know, do you guys have to do that?
[35:28]
We would have to do that. Sometimes my family my dad always would go indoor plumbing. That would be his joke every time it is suggested
[35:35]
But I don't want to you know, caught any other members of my family. I feel bad. They've done it once already, but it's suggested at
[35:43]
Thanksgiving and I don't like it just as a person who does not like to whose feels no
[35:49]
Thanks for anything compelled to speak
[35:52]
Like on the spot like I love speaking publicly in you know performance formats, but I don't like being told like hey you got a
[36:01]
But I have yeah, I do feel like I that all stems back to when you were a kid and you got pulled into that
[36:06]
rap battle
[36:08]
And in the rapid exit you meant to say ground be said floor and everyone made fun. Yeah. Oh my god
[36:14]
Yeah, no as I was like ground round
[36:18]
Mm-hmm down
[36:20]
And then I got pushed down onto the ground. Yeah, um, which you would call the floor. Yeah
[36:26]
I just don't I
[36:28]
Mean like as I've grown older like I understand I appreciate like it is good to have gratitude for things like that
[36:34]
Well, that is what will make you happier is to actually think about yes
[36:38]
You are blessed with but I don't like to be forced to share them publicly
[36:43]
Yeah, so why don't you tell us some of them right now?
[36:46]
Just kidding just kidding. I'm not interested. Okay, let's moving on. Oh, okay. I'll take you out of my gratitude journal then
[36:52]
Oh, no. Oh, no. I've been working so hard to get into there
[36:58]
You have a journal I usually write my gratitude on the casings of bullets
[37:04]
Yeah, I'm pretty cool I'm like a badass
[37:09]
Sausages, yeah, just scratch it in there with like a giant Bowie knife
[37:14]
Before we move on to the last month of the year Dan, is there anything you would like to express gratitude for in this public?
[37:18]
forum
[37:19]
You know, I both you know, I get to see you guys and cheer up
[37:25]
You know regularly earlier today. I was like, oh we got a record. We just did a thing last night, you know
[37:31]
I'm tired, but then immediately seeing your faces cheers me up. No, that's sweet. That's how I feel too
[37:38]
All right, moving on to the best and worst part of the year
[37:43]
December people love it. Yeah, and they hate it and they have there's an obvious one. It should be made us
[37:52]
Once more stuart figured it out. I should have known cuz maze the first word in the title. I
[37:59]
Mean we did
[38:02]
I mean, it could just be the December party. There's no like December or May
[38:06]
It's the movie necessarily, yeah, I'm trying it's not about I'm willing to bet it doesn't take place in either of those months
[38:12]
Maybe may I mean maybe December too. I don't know as a mixed-faith
[38:17]
Podcast, you know, I would like to steer away from any Christmas things. Thank you, Dan. Thank you. I would love that
[38:23]
But that makes it hard because it is a dominant cultural force
[38:28]
Well, what else goes on in this movie? Yeah, so we it's winter again
[38:33]
This is that so in December, I feel like solstice
[38:36]
I feel like New York December as New York January is miserable
[38:39]
But New York December is kind of like the fun to set the snow is still white and fluffy and clean
[38:44]
It's not yet full of dog pee and human pee and garbage and slush yet
[38:49]
And so what if what if there's like a what's a nice winter movie or story remember? We can also invent these movies
[38:55]
We've been doing a good job of finding real movies, but we can also invent them to what's that? What's an ideal December movie?
[39:03]
Deal December, oh wait, but that's I mean, it's kind of a holiday movie, I guess
[39:07]
But I mean for an honest answer is the holdovers for me
[39:12]
Yeah
[39:13]
Much that's a holiday movie
[39:16]
But I feel like it is more if anything I cannot pray I can appreciate a movie where people are
[39:20]
Burdened by the responsibility of a holiday
[39:22]
Yeah, right like it is a disruption rather than something they are looking forward to and necessarily enjoying
[39:27]
Yeah, it was sort of a secular message about being kind to one another
[39:32]
during
[39:33]
Holidays that can be difficult. There's none of this Christmas spirit bullshit where everyone agrees
[39:38]
There's something magic in the air that that makes life better in December. Thanks to the
[39:44]
Made better if there was like a magical like spirit of Christmas character
[39:50]
How would this spirit of Christmas character integrate to the plot
[39:53]
I mean boarding school student who has to spend the holiday with his cranky teacher. Yeah, maybe maybe it fixes
[40:00]
Fixes his eye or something. Who knows? Oh, wow, or fixes his body smell
[40:08]
What a what a thing they're like, okay, he's already kind of a cranky guy
[40:11]
He has a little bit of a drinking problem. He is though. He has an eye that
[40:16]
And and that he's lonely what if we also made him smell like fish all the time like it feels like
[40:24]
Yeah
[40:25]
Yeah, let's say the holdovers, that's a good that's a great one
[40:28]
Yeah, and that's one of my favorite movies of was that last year, you know
[40:33]
It was really good. Why don't they make more movies about the holdover like the whole
[40:40]
The whole overs to the making of the whole I
[40:43]
Would kind of love to see what Alexander Payne would do with like a sequel to bring in Stallone and Schwarzenegger to join the holdover
[40:51]
He's now teaching at a school where it's all action
[41:02]
But we've made the year better with all of these movies
[41:06]
Let's remind the listeners again. So they can less Dan said program the perfect movies for each month January
[41:13]
Let's say it's sweet here after start off with a real bang of joy in January
[41:18]
Bang of joy in January February, of course, it's a made-up movie about a cranky old man who hates that that oh, no, February is the March
[41:27]
Is Jack Frost? That's the made-up movie about Jack Frost and his birth being mad about his birthday. Yeah, and what would that movie be called?
[41:40]
February that's right. Yes Nixon Cole in the long February. Yeah, and we'll have to figure out who Nixon is this
[41:45]
Maybe the snowman is marrying his name Nixon. I don't know. Yeah, maybe or maybe it's mojo Nixon. I don't know
[41:49]
Anyway, so in March there's uh, then we've got uh that the movie about the cranky old man who is learning that it's okay
[41:55]
To anticipate the spring even though the weather is still miserable
[41:59]
Uh, april is of course as we all remember the parts of pieces of april that are not thanksgiving specific that have been edited together
[42:06]
uh
[42:07]
May, uh, what was our movie for may? Uh, Stuart you had one that you those days. Yeah days. That's right. That's right
[42:14]
Uh, june, of course is uh, what was it? Uh, what was it? What was it? Um,
[42:21]
June was twister. That's right. May was
[42:24]
June was that classic june movie twister? What other one would be july? Of course, it's like we're fucking playing
[42:30]
Or something and we're trying to remember the stupid pattern
[42:33]
July, of course was independence day the most july movie perhaps ever made
[42:38]
Uh august then was summer school perhaps a super august movie
[42:43]
Uh september we can all remember was
[42:48]
September was about
[42:50]
Something. Oh wait back to the future. That's right. September for some reason. I can't really remember was back to the future
[42:56]
I'm just gonna let that one slide because the episode is ending. Yeah, you just want to watch back to the future
[43:00]
Yeah, if you want you need a reason to watch back to the future go ahead
[43:03]
I'll give you september. Is that reason october was trick or treat?
[43:06]
We fell into the the hole of halloween the halloween trap, but that's okay november
[43:10]
Of course, we're now using the pieces of pieces of april that we didn't use previously just thanksgiving parts
[43:15]
It's like a memento stuff
[43:18]
Oh, yeah, so you're putting them in backwards, too
[43:20]
Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah or says that or says that well, you know, maybe there's a recap previously on pieces a piece of april
[43:26]
back in april and
[43:28]
december, of course is
[43:30]
The holdovers. Yeah, I mean I which if I watched the holdovers every year at december
[43:36]
Yeah, i'd be very happy doing that thing
[43:38]
But I already have a movie I watch every year december the taking of pelham one two three
[43:42]
Which I watch on my birthday pretty much every year
