FH Mini 144 - Billion Dollar Babies

[0:00] Hey, everyone, welcome to the Flophouse.

[0:05] I'm Dan McCoy.

[0:06] I'm Stuart Wellington.

[0:08] I'm Elliot Kalin.

[0:09] And you know, half the time on the Flophouse, that's the bird version of the Flophouse.

[0:17] It's a bird-based podcast, yeah.

[0:18] Yeah, it's the good feathers, the Flophouse.

[0:19] Stuart Pelican and Dan McCaw.

[0:20] I'm a pelican?

[0:21] Oh, yeah, that's great.

[0:22] Now do me, do me.

[0:23] I love pelicans.

[0:24] Oh, boy, you're harder.

[0:25] Say Elliot Penguin.

[0:26] Elliot Crowland.

[0:27] Penguin's pretty good, though.

[0:28] Elliot Crowland.

[0:29] Well, we're off to an on-point start.

[0:30] Usually on the Flophouse, of course.

[0:31] Is this not about birds?

[0:32] I mean, this is a Flophouse mini, and Dan's running it, so Stuart and I don't know.

[0:33] Maybe it is about birds today.

[0:34] I don't know.

[0:35] Yeah.

[0:36] Half the time, we talk about bad movies, or at least movies that have been rejected.

[0:37] I mean, I don't know.

[0:50] rejected?

[0:51] by society in some way.

[0:54] At least movies that have been rejected by society in some way.

[0:57] Cradled them.

[0:58] Nursed them back to health.

[0:59] We either crush their wind-pipes so they can't bedevil the world, or we nurse them back to

[1:04] health so they can fly off into the wilderness.

[1:07] This is still about birds.

[1:08] Are you sure this mini is not about birds, Dan?

[1:11] But the other half of the time, we do these increasingly poorly-named minis, where we

[1:16] talk about something else.

[1:18] And in this case, I'm going to discuss something related to some of the biggest movies in the

[1:23] world.

[1:24] The Elden Ring movies.

[1:26] The Avatar films.

[1:27] Oh, Dan, I still have not seen any of the Avatar movies.

[1:31] Is that going to be a problem for me in this mini?

[1:33] No, no, no.

[1:34] No, it's not.

[1:35] It's a weigh-in for something else.

[1:38] Just so people are aware, it's not because I have anything against those movies.

[1:41] I've loved many of James Cameron's films.

[1:43] It's only that every time I tried to see the first Avatar in the theaters when it first

[1:46] came out, someone in my family would either have a heart attack or die, and I said, you

[1:51] know what?

[1:52] I don't need to see the movie that badly.

[1:53] Something in the universe did not want me to see that movie.

[1:56] You're the monkey in this case.

[1:59] I'm the monkey.

[2:00] You're the monkey, Dan.

[2:01] Okay.

[2:03] I feel like Avatar would have helped you come to grips with your losses.

[2:05] Maybe.

[2:06] That's true.

[2:07] Yeah.

[2:08] You know, you could plug into the tree of life.

[2:10] Yeah, think about how your family members are being joined in the whirlwind.

[2:14] The tree of life for the Avatar movies?

[2:15] I've seen that.

[2:16] Yeah, that's right.

[2:17] What did they call it?

[2:20] Home tree or something?

[2:21] Something like that.

[2:23] Anyway, I recently saw the most recent Avatar picture.

[2:27] I was the one person in the theater at a, it was the first screening of the day.

[2:33] Must have fucking felt weird all painted up in blue shit when you went there to show off

[2:38] your fandom.

[2:39] I was in between Christmas and New Year's and I'm like, when am I going to find the

[2:45] time for like this three and a half hour movie?

[2:47] I know that Elliot is a notoriously busy man, Dan McCoy.

[2:50] Nothing but time.

[2:51] But I do try and actually work during the weeks.

[2:57] But I was like, well, this is.

[2:59] Stewart made a lewd gesture that I laughed at.

[3:03] Yeah.

[3:04] Okay.

[3:05] It's not like I would.

[3:07] I would love to.

[3:08] We don't need to.

[3:09] We don't need to.

[3:10] We don't need to litigate your endless hours of time.

[3:12] I don't need to litigate the oceans of time that you crossed.

[3:15] And I feel like love is fairly hyperbolic in this case.

[3:20] No, I am.

[3:22] I am desperately desirous of a second outlet.

[3:27] I am not resting on my laurels.

[3:30] I don't need to defend myself to you, but I don't need to defend yourself.

[3:35] I only will because you attack me when the response to an attack is defense anyway.

[3:44] But no, during the the holiday season, I'm like, OK, let me fit this in.

[3:48] But I was like, the only time I can fit this in, in fact, is by going to the first screening

[3:55] of the day.

[3:56] And so thus, I was sitting alone in the theater, my 3D glasses on watching Avatar Fire and

[4:03] Ash.

[4:04] Were you in front row?

[4:06] No, I appropriately placed myself to enjoy the 3D because, like, if you're going to see

[4:10] one of these movies, you want to see it in the theater, you want to see it with a fancy

[4:14] 3D.

[4:15] I like I think it's perfectly reasonable that you have not seen these movies, Ellie, because

[4:19] like as I'm as far as I'm concerned, home viewing, not really a lot of point to these

[4:25] pictures.

[4:26] Are they doing a screening at the Las Vegas Sphere?

[4:30] That would be pretty cool, right?

[4:34] I don't think so.

[4:35] I don't think that would be cool.

[4:36] Because, like, how does the touch with your contacts at the sphere?

[4:39] OK, I'll I'll do that because you said you've been reaching out to see if we could do a

[4:43] flop out show there.

[4:46] Just our towering faces surround you.

[4:49] If anyone has a contact at the sphere, let us know because we'd love to do a show there.

[4:53] We seem like it's the seems like it's the best location for us.

[4:56] Yeah.

[4:57] Yeah.

[4:58] Yeah.

[4:59] I think the best.

[5:00] I think what works best is a giant cavernous space.

[5:03] Anyway, so the line on these Avatar movies, the the sort of, to my mind, boring and not

[5:12] totally correct line is like, oh, they have no cultural impact.

[5:16] The Avatar movies have made billions of dollars, but they have no cultural impact.

[5:21] And recently I've seen on social media the tide turning and people being like, shut up

[5:28] like this is the most boring non-take this side of Die Hard being a Christmas movie.

[5:37] Hey, guys, did you know that?

[5:40] Yeah, I heard it was the idea.

[5:44] And I saw someone point out that, like, perhaps the actual thing is that some big movies or

[5:52] franchises have an outsize cultural impact.

[5:56] Things like Star Wars, where we just recorded our previous episode and listing minor characters

[6:05] is not a particularly weird thing to do.

[6:09] It's the thing that a large subset of the population can do.

[6:12] Not even minor characters, characters that are set dressing with names.

[6:17] Yeah, effectively.

[6:18] Yeah, there are these, you know, there are these franchises that have huge cultural impact,

[6:22] of course, Star Wars, Harry Potter, the MCU, like, and I think that that kind of skews

[6:29] the tables on what our idea of these things are, because, like, there are these big movies

[6:33] out there that, like, people see and they don't necessarily talk about.

[6:38] Yeah, it's not just it's not just Avatar.

[6:41] So I'm going to test the cultural impact of a few other movies that have made more than

[6:47] a billion dollars each in a segment I call Billion Dollar Babies, sponsored by Ultra

[6:55] Premium Prime Select Superior Pampers Brand Diapers.

[6:59] When your baby is worth a billion dollars, you don't want to just pamper them.

[7:03] You want to Ultra Premium Prime Select Superior Pamper them.

[7:08] There we go.

[7:10] I sort of said it.

[7:12] OK, so this movie.

[7:15] That was the fifth take he did of that.

[7:18] No, no.

[7:19] Goddamn you.

[7:20] The first couple, he would just throw in a bunch of slurs and we're like, Dan, like maybe

[7:25] edit that out.

[7:26] You know, we're just joking.

[7:30] And I'll be honest, guys, feel free to riff a bit about various things, because otherwise

[7:36] this might be just short if you just answer questions.

[7:38] Dan, that's not really what we do.

[7:43] Stuart and I are very to the point, just all business, you know, you know what?

[7:49] I don't even have a mullet because it's not business up front, party in the back.

[7:52] It's just business all over.

[7:54] You know, the business as the business in the back is as important as the business in

[7:58] the front.

[7:59] I feel like I feel like you'd look pretty cool with a mullet, though, maybe with like

[8:01] a little dangly earring, too.

[8:03] Oh, yeah, probably.

[8:04] What would that what would be dangling?

[8:05] I don't like a scull or something.

[8:06] Oh, yeah.

[8:07] And it just it does say in the Torah, describe this word, describe the God's word on the

[8:15] doorposts of your ear.

[8:16] Yeah.

[8:17] The doorposts of your face.

[8:18] Yeah.

[8:19] So this movie made a billion, twenty five million plus what films supporting cast includes

[8:32] Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas, Michael Sheen, Stephen Fry, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall,

[8:41] Imelda Staunton, Christopher Lee and Lucy Davenport as woman with big ears.

[8:50] This is a this is a billion dollar baby as I and this is part of a franchise or not part

[8:56] of a franchise.

[8:57] Yeah.

[8:58] There's more than one of these.

[8:59] It's more than one of these.

[9:01] Yeah.

[9:02] It's from 2010.

[9:03] So it's not Argyle.

[9:06] It's not love.

[9:07] I mean, Argyle, Argyle is part of the what is it, the Kingsman world?

[9:13] That's right.

[9:14] It is part of the world.

[9:15] Wait, it is.

[9:16] Yeah.

[9:17] That was the whole point of that last scene.

[9:18] Yeah.

[9:19] They're going to because when he makes two more Argyle movies, he'll make the movie where

[9:22] it crosses over with the Kingsman.

[9:25] OK, so this is from 2010 made over a billion dollars.

[9:29] I was thinking of Mordecai.

[9:30] I also was thinking of Mordecai, to be honest, but I don't think about Mordecai.

[9:36] Come on.

[9:37] That mustache.

[9:38] He has a mustache.

[9:39] Nothing's funnier than that, than the presence of a mustache on a human face.

[9:43] Why would you do that to yourself, to your lip?

[9:45] Look, if there's any your own lip in our previous episode, we talked about Marcel Duchamp.

[9:49] He understood you put a mustache where it's not supposed to go.

[9:52] In his case, the Mona Lisa, instant hilarity.

[9:55] So let's see who was in it.

[9:58] Stephen Fry, Imelda Staunton.

[10:00] Bobby Cannavale, you mentioned, Chris Glover, Matt Lucas, Michael Sheen, Alan Rickman.

[10:08] So guys, here's here's something I'm going to tell you about.

[10:11] Let's don't don't get the Crispin Glovin Crispin Glover crisper.

[10:15] Things become surprisingly soggy.

[10:17] It just doesn't. I don't know. Yeah.

[10:19] So is it underworld?

[10:22] It's not underworld. Michael Sheen's an underworld.

[10:24] I'm going to tell you guys. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[10:26] Wait, wait, wait. Is it made a billion dollars?

[10:30] Is it Frost Nixon?

[10:37] Oh, maybe it's animated. Is it animated?

[10:39] It's not animated, although I mean, kind of.

[10:42] Here's here's what it is.

[10:43] Looney Tunes back in action.

[10:44] What movie is kind of animated?

[10:46] Space Jam. It's Alice in Wonderland.

[10:48] It's Alice in Wonderland.

[10:50] Oh, who's Crispin Glover in that?

[10:53] Oh, I know. I didn't watch that.

[10:56] But a lot of people did made over a billion dollars.

[10:59] This is a sequel to it.

[11:01] This is a Tim Burton late period.

[11:04] You know, like I'm only doing ugly CGI.

[11:08] Yeah. So there you go.

[11:11] Helena Bonham Carter's in it.

[11:13] Yeah, I admit I deliberately did not mention, you know, Johnny Depp,

[11:19] Mia Wasikowska.

[11:21] The only part of that movie that I've seen is is the scene of Johnny Depp's

[11:24] Mad Hatter doing a breakdance at the end.

[11:27] Yeah, I love this.

[11:30] Just as Lewis Carroll intended.

[11:32] You threw your hat down and said, this is cinema.

[11:38] If the Lumiere brothers would hear,

[11:40] they would kiss you for finally bringing their invention to fruition.

[11:43] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[11:44] Well, yeah, I found a reel of that on Instagram.

[11:47] I keep sending it to Martin Scorsese and he never responds.

[11:52] You know, this one, I think maybe you guys might actually.

[11:55] OK, might actually get this one.

[11:57] OK, perhaps you'll be able to get a billion.

[12:03] Sixty six million and more from 2006.

[12:10] I guess anything less than 66 million dollars is not worth getting out of bed

[12:13] for Dan McCoy in this.

[12:16] Well, I just don't want to read all of the numbers in this picture.

[12:20] Those numbers work hard, Dan.

[12:23] This is a recognition in this picture.

[12:26] Stellan Skarsgård debuted.

[12:29] Dead Man's Chest debuted his character Bootstrap Bill.

[12:34] Dead Man's Chest.

[12:36] Yes.

[12:38] Pirates of the Caribbean.

[12:41] No, that was he played the indelible character.

[12:43] Of course, we all remember Bootstrap Bill.

[12:45] I mean that, you know, the story there that the rest of the crew was all like CGI.

[12:49] So they're all in like green screen mocap suits.

[12:52] But he was like, I'm not going to do this movie if I'm not doing practical effects.

[12:57] So they he would have to get up super early and he would be in like a full

[13:00] fucking makeup and everybody else just in like green screen.

[13:05] It's for those scenes.

[13:06] I didn't see that one.

[13:07] I've only seen the first maybe first two Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

[13:12] It's the second one.

[13:13] Oh, I've only seen the first one.

[13:14] But which character is Bootstrap?

[13:16] Is he the one with the tentacle face or is that a different one?

[13:18] No, he's got like stuff.

[13:19] That's the third one.

[13:20] So you've seen three of them.

[13:21] No, I've only seen images.

[13:22] Well, no, he's in the second one.

[13:23] I've actually seen that one.

[13:24] That's Davey Jones is the tentacle face.

[13:25] Oh, he is.

[13:26] Oh, for the monkeys.

[13:27] Yeah.

[13:28] It's he has like barnacles and shit growing out of his head.

[13:31] Oh, OK.

[13:32] I guess I never saw him.

[13:34] Like Fishman.

[13:36] Guys, maybe I'll watch that.

[13:39] That first one I've been meaning to show to my kids because that's a fun movie.

[13:43] I haven't seen it a long time.

[13:44] I mean, the second one, you know, it's not arguably quite as good, but it is.

[13:50] I mean, I still feel like it's the high watermark.

[13:52] Yes, pun intended of digital effects other than like an Avatar movie.

[13:57] I say like the effects of Davey Jones are.

[14:00] Yeah.

[14:01] I mean, have you seen that that that daddy song scene from the head where Davey Jones

[14:06] is wearing?

[14:07] It's flashing back and forth between him and the white outfit and him in the black outfit.

[14:10] It's amazing effects.

[14:11] Yeah.

[14:12] That's liquor they get out of it.

[14:13] Like you just mute.

[14:16] It's kind of hard to do the show.

[14:17] You have to just sort of guess what he was saying.

[14:19] Yeah, I guess so.

[14:20] I mean, if you mentioned Davey Jones, I'm going to be talking about the monkeys.

[14:23] That's yeah, that's true.

[14:25] It's going to happen.

[14:26] OK, this movie, that one where they chained him to a radiator so he won't chase after

[14:30] girls anymore and he still rips it off the wall.

[14:33] He's so fucking horned up.

[14:35] Remember that one?

[14:36] That was the Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

[14:43] Somehow I didn't cut and paste the year.

[14:45] It's recent.

[14:46] It's very recent.

[14:48] It's a statement on the research team.

[14:50] Yeah.

[14:51] Yeah.

[14:52] A billion.

[14:53] Almost a billion.

[14:54] Sixty million.

[14:57] It gave the world.

[14:59] Not one billion and sixty dollars.

[15:01] No.

[15:02] OK, this gave the world the iconic songs beyond my wish for you.

[15:09] And what could be better than this?

[15:12] We all remember.

[15:15] These songs.

[15:17] That wicked.

[15:19] Took us all by storm.

[15:22] I assume I'm wrong.

[15:23] No, it's not wicked.

[15:24] It's not wicked.

[15:25] It's not Zootopia, right?

[15:27] No, it's not.

[15:28] Because that's the try everything song.

[15:30] Yeah.

[15:31] Or Zootopia 2.

[15:33] Because that's the turn that stands for to a zoo zoo zoo.

[15:36] Is this an animated movie?

[15:37] It is an animated picture.

[15:39] Yes.

[15:40] That's the only thing that I mean, almost the only thing that has multiple songs these

[15:44] days.

[15:46] Wicked.

[15:47] Yeah, that's what I said.

[15:48] That's basically Wicked W.

[15:50] Warwick, the Ewok who's really into Broadway.

[15:55] Um, OK, you got your one move back.

[15:59] Yeah, this is, of course.

[16:02] Tell you have any other clues.

[16:03] Yeah.

[16:04] No.

[16:06] All right.

[16:07] Thanks.

[16:08] All right.

[16:09] OK.

[16:10] I mean, I mean, I can give you a clue that would give it away if you want.

[16:13] Sure.

[16:14] Give us a clue.

[16:15] Give it away.

[16:16] Give it away.

[16:17] Give it away now.

[16:18] Yeah.

[16:19] This was intended not for theatrical or originally.

[16:21] But then Moana 2.

[16:22] This is Moana 2 made more than one billion dollars.

[16:26] Originally intended to be a television show.

[16:28] Yeah.

[16:29] How is how is it?

[16:30] Have you seen it?

[16:31] No, I heard it was terrible.

[16:33] It's not.

[16:34] It's not very good.

[16:35] It's fine.

[16:36] It's not.

[16:37] It's not horrible, but it's not great.

[16:38] And it's not.

[16:39] Clement's giant crab dude in this one.

[16:41] No, I don't think so.

[16:42] He was in the first one.

[16:43] Right.

[16:44] I mean, I have to admit, I'm not particularly fond of the original.

[16:47] So when I heard that the second one was not very good, I can't wait for that live action

[16:50] one.

[16:51] Yeah.

[16:52] But Moana 2, the thing that's so frustrating about it is that it is it's very episodic.

[16:57] It was clearly not really meant to be a movie, but also it ends on a cliffhanger.

[17:02] And you're like, oh, now the bad guy is going to come in.

[17:05] And I remember watching me like, come on, Moana, what are you doing?

[17:09] Like, don't do this.

[17:10] Come on.

[17:11] No one cares.

[17:13] But I chose I chose songs for this because, you know, the thing in the first movie that

[17:17] I did enjoy was the song.

[17:19] Yeah.

[17:20] That's that crab song.

[17:22] And then how far I'll go.

[17:23] Yeah.

[17:25] You're welcome.

[17:26] That's a real fun song.

[17:28] Maui song in Moana 2.

[17:30] We're trying for the joy of your welcome.

[17:32] And it's and it's not doesn't do it.

[17:34] It's it doesn't get there.

[17:35] You know.

[17:36] Yeah.

[17:38] OK, well, this picture is part of a big franchise.

[17:41] Big franchise.

[17:42] All right.

[17:44] Twenty eleven.

[17:46] It made one billion one, two, three million.

[17:48] I would say I would say on this, I would say on this, Dan, it is unfair to include Moana

[17:52] in one of these huge movies that didn't have a cultural imprint because the sequel to a

[17:56] movie that did have a big.

[17:58] No, I know.

[17:59] I that's that's true.

[18:01] But I am also indicating that like there are movies that like have like that make huge

[18:07] amounts of money sort of drafting on fumes.

[18:11] And then no one talks about the rest of this.

[18:14] You know.

[18:15] Yeah.

[18:16] Wait, is this one Hobbs and Shaw?

[18:18] Yeah.

[18:19] Oh, that would have been a great one to put in.

[18:21] I don't think it made more than a billion.

[18:23] Is this Runaway starring Tom Selleck?

[18:25] No, I haven't even given you a clue yet.

[18:27] Is it Mr. Baseball starring Tom Selleck?

[18:29] Other than Twenty Eleven.

[18:31] Quigley Down Under starring Tom Selleck.

[18:33] No, I think three men and a baby starring, of course, Tom Selleck.

[18:36] I think this clue will be enjoyable to you.

[18:39] Name another Tom Selleck movie.

[18:41] Friends.

[18:43] I haven't been paying attention.

[18:45] Did you mention Runaway?

[18:46] That's the first one.

[18:48] The first one, Dan.

[18:50] I'm trying to get to the next thing.

[18:52] Sometimes I zone you out when you're just filibustering.

[18:56] Like a true improv partner is just so focused on what he wants to do that.

[19:01] In this hit picture, Alan Tudyk plays Dutch.

[19:06] Ken Jeong plays.

[19:08] Is it Dutch starring Ed O'Neill as Dutch?

[19:10] Ken Jeong plays Jerry Wang.

[19:12] Buzz Aldrin plays Buzz Aldrin.

[19:14] And Bill O'Reilly plays Bill O'Reilly.

[19:17] And while you think about that, I'll think about other Tom Selleck movies that you may or may not have already mentioned.

[19:23] And don't say Three Men and a Little Lady.

[19:25] Well, he's in In and Out.

[19:27] Wait, who was Ken Jeong's character?

[19:31] This is not a hangover, is it?

[19:34] No, it's not a hangover.

[19:36] I've never seen any of those either.

[19:38] It makes you feel like you have a hangover.

[19:40] But it's not a hangover.

[19:42] That's actually a pretty good clue.

[19:43] Because it's a racket-filled Alan Tudyk.

[19:48] So it's a tennis movie. Challengers?

[19:50] Yeah.

[19:52] Wait, why did you think it was a tennis movie?

[19:55] You said it was racket-filled.

[19:57] I get you.

[19:59] Wimbledon?

[20:00] Yeah, famous billion dollar picture, Wimbledon, a movie that I've seen a surprising number

[20:09] of times.

[20:10] I kind of like that movie.

[20:11] Oh, OK.

[20:12] OK.

[20:13] All right.

[20:14] OK.

[20:15] Do this.

[20:16] Yeah.

[20:17] It's not a tennis ball.

[20:18] It's not a train.

[20:19] The fucking snowman over here gave us a long running series of a long running series that

[20:24] I would argue also has very little cultural impact to the way that, pardon me, gatekeepers

[20:33] of cultural impact seem to define it, even though there are people who care about this.

[20:38] Is it one of the scary movie movies?

[20:40] No.

[20:41] Is it in that world?

[20:45] Our world?

[20:46] Yeah.

[20:47] OK, good.

[20:48] It's not from Earth 2.

[20:50] Is this movie animated?

[20:55] Only in the sense that all big blockbusters are so filled with CGI that they may as well

[20:59] be.

[21:00] Right.

[21:01] OK.

[21:02] So Bill O'Reilly is in it?

[21:03] No.

[21:04] So there must be like a news scene where like something someone's commenting on the movie.

[21:08] I think Buzz Aldrin is your best clue here.

[21:11] Space Cowboys?

[21:12] No.

[21:13] I don't think he's in that.

[21:15] Where did Buzz Aldrin go?

[21:17] Transformers Dark of the Moon?

[21:20] Transformers Dark of the Moon.

[21:21] Oh, I didn't know there was a Transformers where they went to the moon.

[21:24] We didn't.

[21:25] We didn't.

[21:26] No, we did.

[21:27] We did.

[21:28] Transformers.

[21:29] We did.

[21:30] You know what?

[21:31] I can.

[21:32] Let me see.

[21:33] Which?

[21:34] I'm going to Google.

[21:35] So we did the one with Cogman?

[21:36] I thought we did Transformers Age of Extinction, but I could be wrong about that.

[21:37] Is that the one with Cogman in it?

[21:39] More than one.

[21:40] But I think you guys did the one with the knights in it, but maybe I wasn't there for

[21:44] that.

[21:45] We did Age of Extinction.

[21:46] We did one with Matt Singer for a live thing.

[21:50] Okay.

[21:51] I think we just did Age of Extinction.

[21:52] Where I mainly spent the whole show messing around with his Gymkata sorority on stage.

[21:59] So oh, that's right.

[22:00] I missed that show.

[22:01] So is Transformers Dark Side of the Moon or Dark of the Moon?

[22:04] Dark of the Moon.

[22:05] Dark of the Moon, yeah.

[22:06] Dark of the Moon.

[22:07] Yeah, a huge series that I think people don't really discuss other than Transformers Nerds.

[22:12] Does Bill O'Reilly play one of the Transformers?

[22:16] Hey, being as this is halfway through the episode, Elliot.

[22:20] Wow, way to shut down Stu's bit that he was about to get into.

[22:23] Well, I think Bill O'Reilly is a Decepticon.

[22:26] You don't think that's funny?

[22:27] Oh, sure, sure.

[22:28] No, I like that.

[22:29] Juice in there.

[22:30] I like that.

[22:31] Squeeze it a little bit.

[22:32] No, we can squeeze it.

[22:33] You want to squeeze Bill O'Reilly?

[22:34] No, it's fine.

[22:35] I'd rather not squeeze Bill O'Reilly.

[22:36] That's what he got in trouble for.

[22:37] Like a wee fun?

[22:38] Yeah.

[22:39] So guys, we have a couple of Flophouse promos to talk about.

[22:45] This episode is coming out the day before our appearance at SketchFest in San Francisco.

[22:52] If you're listening to this on the day of release, then tomorrow, Sunday, January 25th,

[22:57] we will be appearing live at Cobb's Comedy Club in San Francisco as part of San Francisco SketchFest.

[23:04] It's an afternoon show, 4 o'clock, which means that you can still get a good night's sleep

[23:08] before you go to work on Monday.

[23:09] Very exciting.

[23:10] So go to sfsketchfest.com to buy tickets and to look up more information.

[23:15] We're going to be talking about the movie Master of Disguise starring Dana Carvey.

[23:18] This is, no joke, one of the most requested movies by fans in our years doing the Flophouse.

[23:25] So come by and have a talk.

[23:27] I've never seen it, and so maybe I'll love it.

[23:30] Maybe it'll be amazing.

[23:31] That's tomorrow, Sunday, January 25th at Cobb's Comedy Club.

[23:36] Go to sfsketchfest.com.

[23:40] Let's say you can't make it to San Francisco.

[23:43] I think that's impossible.

[23:44] There's always some way to get there, but maybe, you know what, maybe you can't for some reason.

[23:48] Maybe they don't let you on planes.

[23:51] Then you can still experience the live Flophouse feeling in your home through your computer screen.

[23:59] Flop TV has not gone away just yet.

[24:01] There's one more episode left in Flop TV Season 3.

[24:04] That's the one-hour online video presentation show of the Flophouse.

[24:09] Every episode you get a PowerPoint presentation.

[24:11] You get us talking about a bad movie.

[24:13] You get a video segment.

[24:14] You get us answering questions from the viewers.

[24:18] It's super fun.

[24:19] They're really great.

[24:20] Go to theflophouse.simpletext.com to get your ticket to join us February 7th as we end the season with Plan 9 from Outer Space.

[24:28] That's right, Ed Wood's disaster piece.

[24:32] Did you like that?

[24:33] Plan 9 from Outer Space, finishing our Flopsterpiece theater season on some of history's greatest flops decade to decade.

[24:40] We've had a lot of fun on this season, and we're ready to have some more fun in this final blowout episode.

[24:47] That's theflophouse.simpletext.com.

[24:50] If you can't make the show on February 7th, that's the first Saturday in February, then don't worry.

[24:56] The recording of the episode will continue to be available through the end of February when all those episodes will disappear from the public before we eventually release them, I don't know, a long, long time from now.

[25:09] So this is your last chance to watch these episodes, get individual tickets, or buy a season pass.

[25:14] If you buy a season pass, you can watch the episodes you missed too because all those videos for every episode will remain available through the end of February.

[25:21] So join us February 7th through your computer for Flop TV, the final episode of the season, and join us tomorrow, January 25th, at Cobb's Comedy Club for a live show.

[26:35] Thanks. Bye.

[26:43] You know, we've been doing My Brother, My Brother, Me for 15 years.

[26:46] Christ!

[26:47] Maybe you stopped listening for a while, maybe you never listen, and you're probably assuming three white guys talking for 15 years, I know where this has ended up.

[26:55] But no!

[26:56] No, you would be wrong.

[26:58] We're as shocked as you are that we have not fallen into some sort of horrific scandal or just turned into a big crypto thing.

[27:06] Yeah, we don't even really know how crypto works.

[27:09] The only NFTs I'm into are naughty, funny things, which is what we talk about on My Brother, My Brother, and Me.

[27:15] We serve it up every Monday for you, if you're listening, and if not, we just leave it out back until it goes rotten.

[27:23] So check it out on Maximum Fun or wherever you get your podcasts.

[27:28] Here's another picture.

[27:29] Okay.

[27:30] It made a million, or sorry, a billion.

[27:34] Is this a photograph of the place where we used to laugh?

[27:36] Is that what you're saying?

[27:37] That kind of picture?

[27:38] A billion, 152 million, it's from 2018.

[27:45] Imagine if you were the guy who made that movie and you ended up with a billion dollars in your pocket.

[27:50] Yeah, that's how it works.

[27:51] Unlike the movie Three Kings, this movie has three kings in it.

[27:56] Their names are Orm, Atlan, and Nereus.

[28:02] So it's not a Jesus movie.

[28:04] Name that movie.

[28:07] What year?

[28:08] 2018.

[28:09] Now, it's not a Hobbit movie because Stuart would have jumped in right off the bat.

[28:14] Yeah.

[28:15] Orm, Nereus, and...

[28:17] Atlan.

[28:18] Atlan.

[28:19] Is it that Aquaman sequel?

[28:21] It's the original Aquaman.

[28:22] Oh, the first Aquaman.

[28:24] 2018.

[28:25] Yeah.

[28:26] Everyone recalls their favorite characters by name from Aquaman.

[28:33] You can't...

[28:34] I'm comparing it to Star Wars.

[28:37] Yeah, that's true.

[28:38] That's true.

[28:39] Because Aquaman certainly had one cultural impact, which is that Jason Momoa became like

[28:43] a funny guy in movies.

[28:44] Yeah.

[28:45] A bro.

[28:46] A bro.

[28:47] A funny bro guy.

[28:49] I don't know if you have his performance in a Minecraft movie without Aquaman.

[28:53] Yeah.

[28:55] And I'll remind everyone what my younger son said a couple years ago when I was driving

[28:59] around after we saw the trailer for Fast X before the Super Mario Bros. movie.

[29:04] In the car one day, he just goes, we saw the trailer for that movie where there was the

[29:08] guy with the beard and the sunglasses and he was driving a motorcycle.

[29:11] Who was that?

[29:12] And I said, oh, that's Jason Momoa.

[29:14] And he just went, he's cool.

[29:16] He is cool.

[29:19] Look, I'll be honest.

[29:23] I don't think there's nothing to the idea that considering how much money it has made,

[29:30] like billions and billions and billions, it's like the Avatar movies are way up there in

[29:35] the top earners of all time.

[29:38] I don't think there's nothing to the idea of, yeah, it seems weird that there's not

[29:42] more cultural impact for it.

[29:46] I'm just exploring the idea that like, yeah, sure.

[29:50] But, you know, like we don't obsess over everything, you know, even if people go out and see things.

[29:58] And like, I feel like it's weird that this.

[30:00] is the one where it's become a meme, you know?

[30:02] Well, I think that's true.

[30:03] I also think it is weird for,

[30:05] maybe it's a misunderstanding of how culture works.

[30:10] Yeah.

[30:10] The idea that if something is hugely successful,

[30:13] then of course that should also be the thing

[30:15] that takes over human imagination.

[30:18] And I think that idea has been skewed

[30:20] by things like the Star Wars movies,

[30:22] because if you look at the history of culture,

[30:26] it's often not the thing that is the most popular

[30:28] and the most profitable,

[30:30] that is the thing that has the most impact.

[30:32] Like, it's the old story that old people talk about

[30:34] when they want to sound cool, I guess,

[30:37] about the Sex Pistols or the Velvet Underground,

[30:39] where it's like,

[30:40] not a lot of people saw that first show

[30:42] or bought that first album,

[30:43] but they all went out and started bands.

[30:45] In reality, it is often not the thing

[30:48] that is a huge, widespread, audience-pleasing phenomenon

[30:54] for a short amount of time

[30:55] that is a huge cultural impact.

[30:56] And it's other than like,

[30:58] well, like Star Wars and the Beatles.

[30:59] I think they've skewed the scales a little bit

[31:01] to a certain extent.

[31:02] And that kind of thing.

[31:03] But anyway.

[31:04] Let's get back to my silly game.

[31:06] So we'll say this,

[31:06] that in terms of like,

[31:08] the Marvel movies are huge,

[31:09] but there's a cultural impact other than like,

[31:11] people know those characters and wear T-shirts with them.

[31:13] It's not like it has,

[31:16] Which they never did before.

[31:17] Which, I mean, the coolest people did before.

[31:19] But it hasn't wormed its way

[31:20] into people's imaginations in some ways.

[31:22] The way that Star Wars did,

[31:23] where they were like,

[31:24] oh, this speaks to me, you know?

[31:27] Well, it wasn't like,

[31:28] wasn't like one of the biggest movies in the country,

[31:30] like a Demon Slayer movie,

[31:34] like not K-pop Demon Hunters,

[31:35] but like-

[31:36] No, no, but that other one,

[31:37] yeah, that animated Demon Slayer movie.

[31:38] Yeah, the animated movie was like huge.

[31:42] And I'm like,

[31:42] I don't even know,

[31:43] it's not Chainsaw Man.

[31:44] That's different.

[31:45] No, no, no.

[31:46] Or the fact that you look at-

[31:47] That's Denji, the Chainsaw Man.

[31:48] Dan, he's paired with the Chainsaw Demon.

[31:51] The opposite side of Star Wars is Star Trek, right?

[31:54] And I would argue that Star Trek,

[31:56] arguably has a greater cultural impact than Star Wars,

[31:58] besides never being quite as successful.

[32:00] And this is a show that was originally canceled.

[32:03] And then, you know,

[32:05] the viewers demanded it come back for a little bit.

[32:07] And it was rebooted many, many times

[32:09] because it got its hooks so deep

[32:11] into the minds of certain people.

[32:13] And so I would,

[32:14] I think Dan, I love what you're doing.

[32:15] I think this is a really fun game.

[32:17] But when people say like,

[32:18] Avatar made a lot of money,

[32:18] but nobody talks about it.

[32:19] I would say like,

[32:20] that's maybe the way it should be.

[32:22] I mean, TV shows,

[32:23] I think it's an interesting thing too,

[32:25] because it's like,

[32:27] like, I don't watch a lot of network television

[32:29] or whatever, or even,

[32:30] but like something like,

[32:33] something like Yellowstone is this huge

[32:36] juggernaut of a show.

[32:38] I know nothing about it other than the name.

[32:41] People are on horses, I guess.

[32:43] But like, it's a big deal.

[32:44] I'm sure a lot of people watch it.

[32:46] Yeah.

[32:47] A lot of people watch it.

[32:48] Yeah, yeah.

[32:49] I mean, in the last episode,

[32:50] we made a lot of fun of Tracker.

[32:52] more people watch Tracker

[32:53] than probably any of the shows I watch.

[32:55] A huge show, Tracker.

[32:57] But when you look at the next few generations

[32:59] of television shows,

[33:00] I don't think they're going to be

[33:02] heavily influenced by Tracker.

[33:03] But you never know, maybe I'm wrong.

[33:04] No, they're all going to be influenced

[33:05] by Stranger Things.

[33:07] Yeah, that's true, I guess.

[33:09] What if it was called Strange Trackers?

[33:12] Stranger Tracker.

[33:13] Now you're onto something.

[33:14] You're onto something.

[33:15] This picture made-

[33:16] Tracker Things?

[33:18] A billion, 308 million, et cetera.

[33:23] Okay.

[33:24] Et cetera, that could be anything.

[33:27] Other sequels.

[33:28] Nickels.

[33:30] Other sequels in the series

[33:31] are named Dominion and Rebirth.

[33:33] What's this one called?

[33:34] Jurassic World.

[33:36] But what's it called?

[33:37] Jurassic World.

[33:39] Fallen Kingdom?

[33:40] Fallen Kingdom.

[33:41] There you go.

[33:42] That's the one I did.

[33:43] I thought it was possible

[33:43] that you would not remember

[33:44] the subtitle for all of these.

[33:46] Which one was that?

[33:47] Was that the third one?

[33:48] That's the one, it's the second one, I think.

[33:50] It's the one that we did on the podcast.

[33:52] The reason I remember it

[33:53] is because I always want to say

[33:54] it's called Jurassic World, Tragic Kingdom.

[33:56] Which of course is not what it's called.

[33:58] That's where, no doubt,

[34:00] we're eaten by dinosaurs.

[34:02] How much better would any of those movies be

[34:04] if No Doubt was in it?

[34:05] Just having an adventure.

[34:08] Yeah, No Doubt's tour plane goes down

[34:11] on the Jurassic Park Island.

[34:13] We gotta run.

[34:14] I can't, I'm walking into spider webs.

[34:17] That's just fan service, Elliot.

[34:19] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[34:20] I'm sorry, Dan.

[34:21] You're going to have No Doubt in your movie

[34:22] and you're going to have no references to their songs?

[34:23] That would be naive.

[34:24] The dinosaurs are attracted by sound.

[34:26] Please, don't speak.

[34:29] Exactly.

[34:30] I'm trapped in a box.

[34:33] Is that a song?

[34:35] That is a song of theirs, yeah.

[34:36] It's an older song.

[34:37] No Doubt.

[34:39] Knowledge is shallow.

[34:43] Not a song by No Doubt.

[34:44] No.

[34:45] The bad guys, so Gwen Stefani

[34:47] has to save the other members of the band.

[34:49] Because there's terrorists on the island

[34:51] who want to steal dinosaur dinner or something.

[34:52] And she's the one that goes,

[34:53] should we worry about our boss?

[34:54] What should we do?

[34:55] Don't worry, she's just a girl.

[34:56] And then it goes on from there.

[34:58] And this is early No Doubt before Gwen Stefani

[35:01] made her slight MAGA spin, pivot she's been on lately.

[35:06] Is that what she, I don't know about that.

[35:07] Has she been doing that?

[35:08] Yeah, is that her deal?

[35:08] Yeah.

[35:09] I mean, she went from kind of ska-inflected pop punk

[35:13] to a more like hip hop-inflected music.

[35:16] So she just changes with the, she's a weathervane.

[35:20] Here's one where the first movie

[35:22] definitely had a cultural impact.

[35:25] But then, maybe not.

[35:29] It's a billion, 453 million.

[35:30] Evil Dead.

[35:34] Yeah, no one likes Evil Dead.

[35:37] That was a billion dollar movie.

[35:41] From 2019.

[35:43] Here's some trivia from it, some.

[35:47] From IMDb?

[35:48] Yeah, the culling central to the plot

[35:51] is performed by a Norwegian singer, Aurora.

[35:54] The melody used for the culling is the Dies Irae,

[35:58] which since the 13th century or sooner

[36:01] has referred to the wrath of God's judgment on humanity.

[36:04] Yeah, we all know Verde's version of it,

[36:07] which is quite shattering, loud and shattering, yeah.

[36:11] So, I don't know, it sounds like a pretty dramatic picture,

[36:15] whatever it is.

[36:16] But there's culling in it, huh?

[36:17] Culling.

[36:19] Culling?

[36:20] Culling, I guess it's a type of herding call,

[36:24] is what I was able to, cullming?

[36:29] Cullming, her daughter?

[36:30] K-U-L-N-I-N-G.

[36:33] Oh, I don't know what that is.

[36:35] Yeah, it's a type of herding call, I just said.

[36:38] Type of herding call, okay.

[36:39] And any other trivia about this other than just that?

[36:42] Nope, that's what I put down.

[36:44] Is this an English language film or not?

[36:46] When was this?

[36:47] 2019, as I said, it's a sequel to a film

[36:51] that has a definite footprint.

[36:54] This one.

[36:55] Godzilla vs. Kong.

[36:56] Maybe not.

[36:59] Wonder Woman 1984.

[37:01] No, this is an animated picture.

[37:04] Oh!

[37:08] From 2019, the sequel's in 2019.

[37:10] Cars 5.

[37:12] Yeah.

[37:13] There's only three Cars movies.

[37:15] Thank God.

[37:18] The third one, what is the best one?

[37:19] Minions 4, Wrath of Gru.

[37:23] This picture is named Frozen 2.

[37:27] Oh!

[37:29] I was, Stuart, the only reason I know it's not Minions 4

[37:32] is because that was after 2019.

[37:34] It was the first movie my wife saw

[37:35] in the theaters after COVID.

[37:37] And she kept saying, yep, that's why,

[37:39] what I waited for was to see Wrath of Gru.

[37:43] I think mine was, like, literally, it was a-

[37:47] Oh, no, wait a minute, maybe that wasn't Wrath of Gru.

[37:48] Maybe that was the one after that.

[37:49] Spiral from the Book of Saw.

[37:50] Like, I was just so desperate to see a movie at that point.

[37:55] So this was Frozen 2, you're talking about.

[37:56] Mine was Nobody, starring Bob Odenkirk.

[37:59] Oh.

[37:59] It was fun. Not bad.

[38:00] It was fun. Okay.

[38:01] I don't remember what mine was, I used to know,

[38:02] but Frozen 2, you're saying that's what it was?

[38:04] Frozen 2, yeah.

[38:05] Okay.

[38:06] Do you see that one?

[38:07] Did you see either Frozen?

[38:09] I saw the first Frozen, again, not a movie that,

[38:12] a movie that I like better for the songs than the movie.

[38:15] Yeah.

[38:16] I think there's good stuff in, I was, Frozen 2,

[38:21] you can tell that they were struggling to figure out

[38:23] what this movie is about.

[38:25] Yeah.

[38:27] There's some okay songs in it.

[38:30] This last movie that I'm gonna ask you about,

[38:32] I think Elliot has seen, I think you've seen it.

[38:34] I saw Frozen 2. Whoa.

[38:36] Yeah, I feel like you've seen more of these than I have.

[38:38] Well, because the biggest movies that now,

[38:40] in the past few years,

[38:41] especially the biggest movies that have come out

[38:43] are children's, are family movies.

[38:45] Yeah.

[38:46] And the only movies I get to see in the theaters

[38:47] are movies that my kids wanna see.

[38:49] So the days when, there's a Chinese movie

[38:52] from many years ago called Devils on the Doorstep.

[38:55] And I remember seeing that at Film Forum,

[38:57] and later on reading that that movie made $20,000

[38:59] during its entire American release.

[39:01] And I was like, I was part of that.

[39:03] Like, it's a good movie.

[39:04] And I got to be part of the, like, the small group people.

[39:06] But now I don't get to say that.

[39:07] Now it's just like, well, Zootopia 2

[39:09] is the highest grossing movie in Disney history.

[39:11] Well, I was part of that.

[39:12] I paid for three tickets to Zootopia 2.

[39:15] So, you know, so those are the only movies

[39:16] I get to see in the theater these days.

[39:17] I almost got to see One Battle After Another

[39:19] in the theaters, but it was only playing at 6 p.m.,

[39:21] which was too early for me to go,

[39:23] or 9 p.m., which was too late for me to go.

[39:25] So I had to watch it as a screener at home.

[39:29] Well, this movie made $1 billion, $420 million.

[39:34] $420 million.

[39:36] And here we, I'm going with-

[39:37] $1 billion after another should be the title

[39:39] of this meeting, by the way.

[39:41] Yet again.

[39:42] Yeah, that's a good one, yeah.

[39:43] Some trivia from this movie's page.

[39:46] Yeah, slop it on us.

[39:47] When the two hippos crash into the docks,

[39:49] several apples are rolling toward them.

[39:51] They eat them.

[39:52] This is a reference to the game Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

[39:54] Oh, this is just Zootopia 2, Dan.

[39:55] This is Zootopia 2.

[39:56] Yeah, the one you just mentioned.

[39:58] Oh, I was going to say it was.

[40:00] Jungle crew one you just I didn't know I did see and I ran I when I saw that scene I go

[40:04] Oh, this is a hungry hungry hippos joke. Yeah

[40:07] Mm-hmm kids and be like hey look

[40:11] This is a reference to a thing that was old when I was a kid yeah, I

[40:16] Here's that did you guys haven't seen Zootopia to or to tell you I have not seen to Topia

[40:21] It's fine. Yeah, it's fine. It's it's I think Zootopia makes more Zootopia. Yeah, it we had

[40:27] We talked about this at a previous episode

[40:31] It's get surprisingly grim by the end of it

[40:35] It's fine. You know, I didn't love the first one. I didn't love Zootopia

[40:39] So if you like Zootopia Zootopia 2 is more of the same, you know, yeah

[40:43] Look at Stewart's face. Is this

[40:46] Does it like does it feel like it's?

[40:50] Like is it extra horny

[40:52] No

[40:54] It's not horny at all it has a

[40:58] It has a pro immigration message, okay, which I appreciate I'm horny for that but uh, no it is not

[41:04] It's very clear that there is no relationship between other than a platonic friend one between the rabbit and the fox

[41:11] so if you want to see them if you're hoping that the online comic someone made where the

[41:15] Fox is mad at you. You can say someone's

[41:19] I've been just a lot of people have probably made comics like this, but go on. So, yes

[41:24] well

[41:25] there's one in particular I'm talking about where the comic where it's just about the Fox and the rabbit the Fox is mad because the

[41:30] Rabbit had an abortion without it without telling him right and it all takes place in Jerry Seinfeld's apartment

[41:37] If you're hoping that

[41:39] It doesn't it's not in there. So I'm familiar with this comic, but apparently you are very familiar

[41:46] My comic because I find it fascinating I don't know anything about the person who made it such as it's a I almost understand

[41:52] Someone doing kind of rule 34 taking two characters and having them have sex

[41:56] Yeah

[41:57] this is just a relationship story about two people in a relationship where one has

[42:01] decided to not have a child without telling the other one and the other one is upset about it and

[42:06] This but this the strangest and which is strange from what you would want to do these characters

[42:10] The strangest thing is that for the backgrounds this artist has used Jerry Seinfeld's apartment from the show Seinfeld. So yeah

[42:19] Like are these hand-drawn backgrounds or yes, I believe they are hand-drawn awesome. No, no, they're not photographs. It's all drawn

[42:25] It's all drawn. Okay. I think it's actually a really good idea because I don't know about you

[42:29] But when you as a you know as an artist myself, I I would use like reference photos and sure sure

[42:36] There's few apartments. I

[42:38] Know better than the interior

[42:41] Seinfeld's apartment or the friends girls, you know, yeah, so yeah, we're friends ladies

[42:45] I should say but so Zootopia too

[42:46] I would say if you like Zootopia go ahead and watch Zootopia 2 if you are lukewarm on Zootopia

[42:51] You don't necessarily need to see you like Jerry Seinfeld's apartment read this

[42:58] And I I mentioned

[42:59] K-pop demon hunters and passing earlier. Have your kids watch that? Is that a thing?

[43:04] Yes, that's something my younger son's very into he actually just showed it to me a couple days ago for the first time

[43:10] That's a fun. Yeah, it's fun. It's fun. Yeah, it's the music is somehow very catchy

[43:15] And also, I don't remember how any of it sounds like it just didn't stick in my head

[43:19] There's one that goes something like

[43:24] Is there okay, I'll take your word for it as a movie I just saw the other day

[43:28] But don't remember the song. I haven't seen the movie. I just have now the songs are all over the place

[43:33] But uh, yeah, it's a fun movie. Mm-hmm. Cool. Well, we went on a real journey

[43:38] Where did we end up?

[43:41] We're lost

[43:43] Our discovery quest took us down a dirt road to

[43:49] My biography is gonna be discovery quest Stuart Wellington's sexuality through the lens of the

[43:57] I don't even know if that was like a thing we talked about on microphone. No

[44:05] So for it for listeners, so we record these episodes two at a time

[44:08] Let's let's take you behind the curtain. Let's open the Kenoma

[44:10] Come on, and the the previous episode before we started officially recording we were talking

[44:15] stewards to cut discovery quest about his sexuality over time as he's closed to the show and then we made a

[44:21] Glancing mention reference to it during the actual episode

[44:24] But so to us the phrase discovery quest is now very funny

[44:27] But to the listener, it means not well because we also like spun it out into like, you know

[44:32] Like this is a PBS show that you know, like people. Yeah, so buckle up. You're gonna get a lot of discovery quest mention

[44:39] It's a lot of jokes
