Hello, everybody out there in podcast land.

0:06

This is Elliot Kalin of the Flophouse

0:09

podcast here to tell you it's

0:11

time for another Flophouse mini. You

0:13

know that on most weeks, and by most I mean

0:16

half of the weeks, we talk about a bad movie

0:18

that we've watched. But on the other half of the

0:20

weeks, sometimes, which is half,

0:22

we talk about whatever we want,

0:25

baby, at whatever length we want,

0:27

baby. And today, that's

0:29

exactly what we're going to do. I'm hosting

0:31

today. I'm the master programmer of this program,

0:33

as you'll see that fits the theme of

0:36

what I'm talking about. And I'm

0:38

joined today by my two associates and their

0:40

names are, guys, say your names. I'm

0:43

Dan McCoy and I'm just so proud of you for

0:46

summarizing the mini concept

0:48

as clunky as I usually

0:50

do. I would say 95% as clunky as you do.

0:55

And Stuart, what's your name, Stuart? I'm

0:57

Stuart. I'm Stuart

0:59

Wellington of the Flophouse podcast. Hi,

1:02

Stuart. Hey. Now, Dan, before

1:04

we start recording, you were just ready to

1:06

unveil the new Flophouse Jingle. Would

1:09

you mind debuting it for the listeners? No, just do it

1:12

again. Or should that

1:14

be at the end of the episode as a

1:16

little treat? I think that should be at the

1:18

end because then Alex can just cut it out

1:20

and use what I already did because I can't

1:22

remember it anymore. Okay, good. So stay tuned through

1:24

this episode for the new Flophouse Jingle. We'll be

1:26

using it in all of our official promotions and

1:28

when we have a Super Bowl ad and things like that.

1:31

We've obviously selected it because it has

1:33

slipped out of Dan's mind as soon as he

1:35

did. Yeah, that's the kind of earworm we provide.

1:37

I think I still have it. It's instantly forgettable.

1:40

Dan, don't even bother. Dan, you'll never be able

1:42

to recapture perfection. So just stay tuned to the

1:44

end. Don't skip ahead to the end of the

1:46

episode. Don't do that and then skip back. Just

1:48

wait, wait your turn because we're going to have

1:50

some fun before then. We're going to have some

1:52

fun today, guys. We're going to play some games

3:12

the Matrix is all these different aspects computer

3:14

4:38

Your Lan party now we never have family

4:40

man part of a C I and I

4:42

also was a big computer game or for

4:44

a while Dark Forces was a big one

4:46

for me I did useless to do you

4:49

ever play part to with the the filmed

4:51

little interstitial I know yeah I don't like

4:53

once they made him again I had and

4:55

like that I liked and as being a

4:57

grunt let us see a day how that

5:00

turned the grunt. yeah as you don't like

5:02

cow can turn the just. As

5:04

the inside there's a lot of July stuff and summers

5:06

like that. Once not everyone has to be a jet

5:08

I although now in these are some of these no

5:11

one is again I am I here in the Skywalker

5:13

bloodlines I guess is as good as the times that

5:15

I send us a but I also play like Command

5:17

Conquer as very big in my house. and the course.

5:19

The Holy Trinity for me of point and click

5:22

games. Sam Max hit the

5:24

road. Grim. Fandango.

5:27

And the Disc World's computer game, which

5:29

is how I got into the Discworld

5:31

novels. My Terry Pratchett which I love,

5:33

so wouldn't talk about some Discworld novels

5:35

today, however, he says set up in

5:38

your narcissist very brats, it's fantasy world

5:40

analysis. The dives we're not playing games

5:42

on three intercepted. The. Recently games

5:44

on. Computers are playing games about

5:47

computers today so it is illegal

5:49

and if it as well aggressive

5:51

with my son. That's what my

5:53

goal of fiddler's I visit us.

5:55

So computer games the senses razzi

5:57

by computers. The things that make our lives. That

6:00

in ways that almost makes up for.

6:02

The how much worse they make our lives

6:04

on the other side. So round one reason

6:06

we talking about Evil and Peter movie is

6:08

an Evil computer. Movies A computer turns evil

6:11

in some way. Maybe if their programming the

6:13

gets corrupted, Maybe it's because they're taking their

6:15

programming to literally. Maybe the just evil like

6:17

the devil inside of and know the point

6:19

is they're evil computers. The represents humanities, fears

6:21

of technology or whatever. And I want to

6:24

make clear. I'm talking about

6:26

computers, not robots. And. Not computers

6:28

that a human being is using for

6:30

evil purposes. And about an evil computer.

6:32

Though sometimes evil robots work for evil

6:34

computers as we may see an evil

6:36

computers for some reason they never work

6:38

for evil robots if only the other

6:40

way around. So this is the Me:

6:42

a game about computers called New Computer

6:44

Who? This. Incident

6:48

and on owning a movie.

6:50

And you guys are going To Tell me. You

6:53

can take turns to money. What's. The

6:55

name of the evil computer in that movie. And for

6:57

an extra point, How. Do you defeat

6:59

the evil computer in that movie? So obama

7:01

me get up scoring pad right now I

7:04

can keep score you guys and one else

7:06

that I want us to decide who's gonna

7:08

go first or can we alternating these questions

7:10

is going to go first in a. Real

7:14

Rock paper scissors Journalists Iraq

7:16

they versus the classic. One

7:18

Two Three oh let's a we see of

7:21

yeah those are the see this is the

7:23

problem of that allows the ones were running

7:25

thought they'd find ah for as an lions

7:27

game of chess stand wins let me just

7:29

make a distance this with okay so regular

7:31

just meant that but I assume that make

7:33

all the hard partner know thirty seven no

7:36

no the and we're going to start out

7:38

easy and and maybe a little harder as

7:40

this round the say let's say sorry I

7:42

start with the added have you ever heard

7:44

of this movie Damn Bus Knievel computer and

7:46

it's one of the Name of Evil. Computer

7:48

in Two Thousand and One A Space Odyssey is.

7:51

Ah that can hear of be named

7:53

how. Okay for and for an

7:55

extra point. Was. Health and for.

8:00

Oh boy. I could tell you that Hal

8:03

was born in Urbana. Not

8:07

the information I was looking for. I'm from

8:09

Illinois, Central Illinois. So we can't, we can

8:11

claim any celebrities we can, even evil

8:14

fictional computers, but yeah,

8:17

I don't know. I don't know. Maybe Stewart does. Stewart,

8:19

you want to steal that moment? Highly

8:22

advanced life form. No,

8:25

it's not a life form, but a computer. That's

8:28

a good guess. That's a good guess. I

8:30

mean, it's- Hey Arnold lover. I

8:35

want to give you half a point for that. I'm not going to do

8:37

it. I would love it if that was part of his backstory. You

8:43

know, Dave, this reminds me of an episode of Hey Arnold.

8:45

We know, I know how. Tell

8:47

me about the Hey Arnold episode, Al. While you're

8:49

pulling up. Dave, your actions are

8:52

giving me real Hey Arnold vibes. Slowly

8:56

singing the theme as he powers

8:58

down. Yeah. They wanted

9:00

to see a comet

9:02

through a telescope and show

9:06

they, okay. So Dan, so nobody

9:08

got that point. It's basically heuristic

9:10

algorithmic, you know? Okay.

9:12

So, but Dan,

9:15

for that extra point, how do you defeat Hal?

9:18

Uh, well, you gotta go down into the, into

9:22

the server room and

9:26

slowly remove the little discs

9:29

from the slot. It's

9:31

so wrong in the, in the, in the details,

9:33

but I'll give it to you because they're not

9:35

really discs. They're like little cassettes, but you go

9:37

into his memory. You rip his brain out. That's

9:39

what you gave me what I needed. So that's

9:41

two points for Dan Stewart. You're up next. Can

9:43

you give me the name of the computer in

9:46

the movie war games? God

9:49

damn it. Now

9:57

this is a broad Rick. I

9:59

would say that there. two possible

10:01

answers here. So Dan, are

10:03

you going to try to steal this one? Yeah.

10:06

Well, you could either go by

10:08

Whopper, uh, which is the,

10:11

of course, that's a, it's not

10:13

an acronym because it doesn't actually spell anything, but

10:16

whatever initials, well,

10:19

but it's spelled correctly. And

10:23

of course, Joshua. Dan, I'm going to give

10:25

you one and a half points for

10:27

getting both of those. Right. That was good. Good

10:30

job. Uh, Stu, but you can still win something. How

10:32

do you defeat? And of course, Whopper Dan, tell me

10:34

what Whopper stands for. I'm sure, you know, for that

10:36

other half a point, uh,

10:39

world organization,

10:41

please right now,

10:43

right now is that it's not a, not

10:45

actually a meaningful phrase in any way, Stuart,

10:47

you want this half a point? What does

10:49

Whopper stand for? Uh,

10:52

wild or

10:54

pessimistic reasons

10:58

to exist. I love

11:00

that you added some extra letters. He put,

11:02

it was what pretty, but no, that's incorrect.

11:05

You can still get a point. How do you

11:07

defeat Whopper slash Joshua? How do you do it?

11:11

Uh, what, what, you just

11:13

don't play him or something? I

11:15

mean, that's a lesson that's learned. What,

11:18

but how do you, that's not how you defeat what

11:20

that's how you win. Like, that's how you would like

11:22

word games and crap, right? Dan,

11:24

you got to swoop in and take this

11:26

one. You make, you make them play tic-tac-toe

11:29

against themselves. So he learns that it's a

11:31

funny sort of game. The only way to

11:33

win is not to play. You got it.

11:35

You make him play tic-tac-toe. That's true about

11:37

nuclear wars. It is about tic-tac-toe. The

11:39

only way, although you can win tic-tac-toe if you

11:42

play with a child, cause they don't, they don't kind of

11:44

forget how to play it halfway through. Uh, nuclear war same

11:46

way. You can win nuclear war if it's a child that's

11:48

operating the other nukes. They might send them in the wrong

11:50

place or something. So Dan, it's back

11:52

to you. You are dominating the rounds. Yeah. Don't

11:54

worry. The other rounds are very different. Dan, This

11:57

movie. It's okay. I Can lose this game. Okay.

12:00

What do they have? No other out embrace

12:02

my entire personality around it like of the

12:04

area in I heard me more. Ah

12:07

yes. Computer game Dan Dan that the and the

12:09

computer movie Man that's they can't stand the movie

12:11

is Eagle Eye What's the name of the evil

12:13

computer. Oh zones they idolize

12:15

as that's not the name of the to be at are. Now

12:18

I know it's like I say,

12:20

I remember I. Was

12:23

at one time a long time ago

12:25

with you. I was new to cable

12:27

and the world seems young and beautiful.

12:29

Services: Stewart either to tell me what's

12:32

disease. I computer called Optimus Prime. No

12:34

wrong with the computer. Three mile above

12:36

Slipper. The computers name is Aria. A

12:39

R I A stand what is it

12:41

san for. Ah,

12:43

Always. Really interesting.

12:46

I love that really

12:48

isn't always. All.

12:52

Not the write letters to play the great

12:54

so you want to steal days when we

12:56

are You voting S A R I A.

12:59

Or get. Automated. it

13:01

really is in said intelligent as is

13:04

that a minute. Okay that are you

13:06

so much closer and give you the

13:08

as a hit every every couple of.

13:11

This release is never going to be

13:13

in any movement of are highly. Ever

13:15

since the celts your money closer though

13:18

it's autonomous reconnaissance intelligence integration. The Anna

13:20

longer. See where how much money I was pretty

13:22

close because I feel physically right on the the

13:24

a half point for that one. Day

13:27

and had a the Cdc. The lie had you do it.

13:30

Oh. And or he aria see them to the

13:32

eagle. I. I like. Oh.

13:35

No, you break him somewhere and you blow

13:38

something up I don't know what pretty well

13:40

sewer can he be more specific? Ah you

13:42

were like a constructive. Clothing stores birds out

13:44

a lot of I've also know that was

13:47

great a suicide receptors or are now that

13:49

would be bus know you go into it's

13:51

central orb, you break it and centaur be

13:53

hit with a crowbar and hundred and then

13:55

and but then you also hold congressional hearings

13:58

on whether to build a new. Computer

14:01

and hopefully you don't so that's okay Stuart.

14:03

It's up to you. It's not you're next.

14:05

Okay, okay The movie is Wally.

14:07

What's the name of the evil computer in Wally?

14:13

His name's like Wally, right Villain

14:20

because he causes humanity to return to

14:22

this blasted Wasteland that it was a

14:24

very nice robot because of Wally human

14:26

humanity leaves the paradise of never having

14:28

to work and just sipping On slurpees

14:31

all day. Yeah, go farm for its

14:33

free. Future Wally Robot,

14:35

okay, Dave you want to steal this shit.

14:37

You want to steal this what's what's the

14:39

evil computer? You know what? I think that

14:41

Pixar that's probably my favorite Pixar movie But

14:44

I don't remember and yet you don't remember the name

14:46

of the main antagonist. It's not

14:48

boys and mother or something No, you're thinking

14:50

of the movie alien because Sigourney Weaver is

14:52

the voice, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. She's the

14:54

voice of that Well, she's not with the

14:56

evil computer. She's the voice of the information

14:58

aspect of the computer I see yeah, so

15:00

it is of course the autopilot who is

15:02

called Otto. That's his name Otto right Stuart

15:05

had he defeat Otto in Wally Do

15:08

you like climb in there

15:10

and bash his brains in with a crowbar? No, that's

15:12

how you defeat Aria from the movie Eagle Eye So

15:14

I understand why that's in your mind Dan. How do

15:16

you defeat Otto? Is

15:19

it through the power of love between

15:24

Wait, no, can I change my answer to power love

15:26

you can it's still wrong, but you can go back

15:28

to that Is it you

15:31

just have to have the the the

15:33

plant scanned? Is that all that happens? You're right, then

15:35

you throw the plant in the plant hole and that's

15:37

how you see defeat Otto I mean,

15:39

I shouldn't give you a point because you gave a dog.

15:41

No, you don't have to I I miss the buzzer Yeah,

15:44

you did you missed it so hard. So

15:46

now Dan it's your turn We

15:49

went past while we're pretty close, right? Yeah Pretty

15:53

close Pretty close

15:55

really close Dan. I mean it pulling ahead, but there's

15:57

many more chances to get more points. We went from

15:59

Wally Let's go to another classic children's

16:01

film, AlphaVille, directed by Jean-Luc Godard.

16:05

What is the name of the computer in AlphaVille? Who's

16:08

this for? Sorry, which is? This is for you,

16:10

Daniel. Oh, me? I have

16:12

to admit, this is a Godard movie that

16:14

I've not seen at all. I have no idea what the,

16:17

Okay, and you have no knowledge about

16:19

any movie you've never seen. So,

16:22

well. What does it help if I give you

16:24

the full title, AlphaVille, A Strange Adventure of Lemmy

16:26

Caution? Lemming Caution? Lemmy

16:28

Caution, that's the main character. That

16:31

Eddie Constantine plays. So, Stuart, you can

16:33

steal this one. What's the name of the computer in AlphaVille?

16:35

Is it Megatron? No,

16:38

I'm sorry, it is Alpha60, Alpha60. Oh,

16:41

yeah. Dan, how do you defeat Alpha60? Think

16:43

about what's the most French movie way, French art

16:45

movie way of defeating a computer. Blow cigarette smoke

16:48

into it? I was gonna say the same shit.

16:50

Good guess, no, it's not it. Stuff a fucking

16:52

bag out of your fucking port. Stuart,

16:55

what's your other guess? After cigarettes and baguettes.

16:57

Throw wine all over it, dude. That would

16:59

be great. No, you tell it a poetry

17:01

riddle. That's how you defeat it, yeah. Of

17:03

course. Yeah, like a French Captain Kirk. Okay,

17:05

Stuart, it's your turn. Oh, poetry is kind

17:07

of a riddle. It's your turn. Now we're

17:09

talking about it. I feel not optimistic here.

17:11

Yeah, we're talking about another French art movie.

17:13

Stuart, what's the name of the evil computer in

17:15

Terminator? I

17:18

got this one, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

17:23

Yeah, I think you're misunderstanding the rules of the game

17:26

to mention another French movie that doesn't have a computer

17:28

in it. Is that your

17:30

final answer, Arnold Schwarzenegger? It's Skynet.

17:32

It's Skynet, of course. And

17:34

how do you defeat Skynet? You

17:38

go back in time and

17:40

then you, oh

17:42

man, so wait a minute, you

17:44

stop the Terminators from killing John

17:47

Connor and you also

17:50

try not to leave Terminator parts

17:52

around for Dyson to check out

17:55

reverse engineer a line of Terminator. I

17:57

mean, and arguably if you... Count

18:00

the sequels there is really no

18:02

way to defeat sky that it

18:04

just kind of gets delayed or

18:07

renamed or I'll accept

18:09

keeping terminator parts out I mean what would they do is

18:11

they blow it up with a missile. I'll

18:14

give you I'll give you you know it's not giving you half a

18:16

point for the terminator stuff. I'm going to load

18:18

up with a missile in my forget one of the

18:20

movies. The

18:22

so it's always a missile that you got

18:24

to shoot the missile in the like highlighted

18:27

area on the mac body or else probably

18:29

I don't remember so Dan this is a

18:31

lot of house moving out on a mention

18:33

now the movie stealth what is the name

18:35

of the computer. Is

18:39

it named stealth it is

18:41

not name but I hate to do you.

18:44

Stewart you want to steal what is the name of

18:46

this can make Jessica Alba. It's

18:54

not still

18:57

is it rogue story might

18:59

be what it's stuff backwards. Yeah

19:02

yeah might be. You're

19:05

faster than she had to send it

19:07

out the computer is named Eddie named

19:10

Eddie guys what is what is Eddie stand

19:12

for it's both. Ed I was it stand

19:14

for any Dan you know every

19:17

yes dog digs it.

19:23

Okay every dog like dig dig dig it cool. Stewart

19:28

what you want to try to steal this one Dan know that

19:30

what it should have been but electronic

19:33

data inspector. Such

19:36

a good yes extreme deep

19:38

invader your answer that way

19:41

talking cooler more like a

19:44

personal sex aid yeah. Personal

19:47

sex aid that doesn't look at you all you

19:49

do it. Acknowledge you

19:52

as a person yeah yeah that's what you're

19:54

into so Dan how do you defeat Eddie

19:56

and stealth. You

20:00

just like, blow up

20:02

that plane? No. Stuart,

20:04

how do you defeat Eddie and Stealth? So it's not shoot

20:06

it with a missile. I mean, it does get shot with

20:08

a missile, but that's not how you defeat the human. I'm

20:10

going to say they use the power of love. Yeah, they

20:12

do. Stuart, I'm giving you a

20:15

point for that. You bond with it

20:17

so it develops a conscience and sacrifices

20:19

itself to save you. It is the

20:21

power of love, because that's the power

20:23

of love. The power of love is

20:25

a curious thing. Make one man cry,

20:27

make another computer sacrifice itself to save

20:29

the humans. That's the original lyrics. I'm

20:32

in it. Scoring. So, Stuart, now

20:34

it's your turn. This movie is

20:36

called Electric Dreams. Can you tell me

20:39

the name of the computer in Electric

20:41

Dreams? Is

20:45

it Electro?

20:48

No. I

20:51

know this movie. This is the movie where the computer

20:54

tries to... There's

20:56

like a love triangle with the computer and

20:58

a woman and a human man. The computer

21:00

falls in love with Virginia Madsen, and the

21:02

computer is voiced by Bud Court. Not

21:05

to be confused with Night Court, which is not a person, but

21:07

a television show. Or

21:10

the legal

21:14

proceedings where they finally decided whether Bud

21:16

Light or Bud... That's

21:18

where the legal proceedings are all done by

21:21

bottles of beer. I

21:25

don't know. I don't know what this thing's called.

21:27

Okay. This computer is called Edgar. Not

21:30

initials. Not initials. We went from Eddie

21:32

to Edgar. Stuart, how do

21:34

you defeat Edgar? I feel

21:36

like the power of love has been really crushing

21:39

it for me. Yeah. You want

21:41

to go with the power of love? Yeah, I'm

21:43

going to do power of love. You do that

21:45

exactly. You prove that your wife loves you, so

21:47

the computer commits suicidal. Wow. You did

21:49

it. Stuart is coming

21:51

from behind with the power of love. Yeah.

21:54

He is... I don't want to hear about Stuart coming

21:57

from behind with the power of love anymore, Dan. No, thank

21:59

you. I had some videos saved

22:01

on my phone. So

22:04

Daniel, the next question in this round is for you. I know this round

22:06

is going long. The other rounds are not quite as long. iRobot,

22:09

and I'm not asking about the robots, the movie

22:11

iRobot. What's the name of the artificial computer

22:14

intelligence that turns evil in iRobot? Well,

22:17

it's not Alan Tudyk because he's

22:19

the good robot. And

22:23

again, that's the name of the actor in

22:25

the movie. It's not a character. It's not

22:27

Chee McBride because he shoots the robot. Right.

22:30

Will Smith, because he's our human

22:32

protagonist. Again, very true. I

22:36

don't know. Do you know Stewart? I

22:39

think it is named Robomind.

22:42

That'd be super cool. No, it's named Vicky.

22:44

Vicky. Oh, that's not a small one. Oh,

22:46

it's because it's based on... On

22:48

Small Wonder. Yeah, exactly. It's a remake. People

22:51

forget Isaac Asimov created Small Wonder. Dan, what does Vicky

22:53

stand for? V-I-K-I. What does Vicky stand for? Oh,

22:58

boy. Okay, let's see if I can really... I

23:00

know the V. Try your hardest

23:02

this time. Don't do a silly one. Do a real one.

23:04

I'm going to really try here. Okay. Virtual. Yeah.

23:10

Intelligence. Well,

23:14

keep going. Wait, what is it?

23:16

V-I-K-I? Yeah. Let's

23:19

see if you can get it. Virtual? You're warm. You're real

23:21

warm to Virtual. Virtual. Interface.

23:25

Ooh, so close. Killing...

23:29

No. ...with what these robots do. I

23:32

don't think the I stands for what these

23:34

robots do. Yeah, that's really cool. That's actually

23:36

really cool. I'm going to say it's... ...Bertual.

23:41

I don't know how you knew that, but yeah, you're on the right course. Investigation.

23:48

Killing is what these robots do. So

23:52

like, Wurdle, you thought that the part that

23:54

was wrong was just the third time, but

23:56

killing is the robot that's doing the robot.

24:00

It is virtual interactive kinetic intelligence. So Dan

24:02

was on the right track and intelligence was

24:04

putting in the wrong place. So Dan, how

24:06

do you defeat Vicky? Putting intelligence in the

24:08

right, in not in the right place is

24:11

kind of this podcast. Yeah. Um,

24:14

you, uh, I don't, you correct. You,

24:20

uh, there's some flaw

24:22

in the laws of robotics that you go in

24:24

and you correct it. You're like, no,

24:27

no, no, this decimal point was in the wrong place.

24:29

Seems like it right, but you're wrong. Stewart, how do

24:31

you think Vicky? I don't know. You

24:33

let the good robot like upload its consciousness

24:35

or something. Um, not

24:37

exactly, but you inject nanites into her,

24:39

into its core. Oh, nanite. Yeah, nanite.

24:41

It's always the nanites. Okay. I

24:43

was gonna say that. Stewart, your turn. The movie

24:46

is Resident Evil. And I know you're like, that's like

24:48

a zombie movie. There's an evil computer in it. Yeah.

24:52

Uh, I mean, it's

24:54

the umbrella corporation. Is it just called umbrella?

24:56

What? No, that'd be

24:58

pretty cool. But it's not. Dan,

25:01

what's the name of the evil computer? This

25:04

one called like mom or something? No, but

25:06

it's along similar lines. You're on the right

25:08

track. Okay. But you're

25:10

not there. So it is called the red

25:12

queen. Oh, right. Red queen of

25:14

the evil computer. And Stewart,

25:17

how do you defeat the red queen? You just

25:19

gotta shoot it a bunch. You

25:22

know what? I think I may give you, I don't

25:24

really remember how they did it. So I'm

25:26

gonna give you that one. Maybe they do just shoot it

25:28

a bunch, which puts you in the lead amazingly. Dan,

25:31

this is your turn. Now here's the kind of computer movie

25:33

I could see you getting really into. It's called Demon Seed.

25:35

What's the name of the computer in Demon Seed? Another

25:39

per computer one. This is the Barbara Hershey

25:41

film. Is she in this or? No,

25:44

it's Julie Christie. Julie Christie. Okay. I

25:50

don't know what the evil computer

25:52

is named in this. Okay. It's

25:55

the kind of name where you, once you hear it, you're like, why

25:57

did they name the computer that? That's an evil sounding name. Stuart. Because

26:00

like Lucifer something. I mean,

26:02

for it's Proteus for. A ride

26:04

a horse deck and at the and

26:06

heavy defeat Proteus for as in the

26:09

movie Demon see I'm. A

26:13

easy to do. Is.

26:16

This the movie. Where.

26:18

The The Computers sexually assaults a

26:21

woman somehow together like a demon

26:23

seed. Insiders yes, hence the name

26:25

Demons or of this over the

26:27

computer inseminate still exists A. D

26:30

would see the movie with the demons east. Ah,

26:36

the. These videos

26:38

to hit they do is digital exorcism/abortion

26:41

have the decency I don't know where

26:43

they do very much not that's the

26:45

as to what what are they do.

26:49

To him I want to go to my regular will us

26:51

power love but I think. Not

26:54

a busy dravid in law, your logic loop

26:56

or southern. He said a

26:58

gone with your first instinct sort of.

27:00

The robot self destructs that the humans

27:02

will take care of his clone baby

27:04

techno offspring South. The baby is born

27:06

out of like as an incubator container

27:08

Saints and he has the power of

27:10

love. Is. The But Robot gives itself

27:13

has suffered suffer the for the baby sitters. Ah,

27:15

pretty much so. Guys Okay,

27:18

The Power of Love has been a French

27:20

restaurant is harmless. This all right now is

27:22

on eighty one man we but another mad

27:24

thing is up this is it is only

27:26

three questions less in this round. Let's see

27:28

hello, how many of them are the upper

27:30

of love says and co the movie is

27:32

another flop. has some of the I'm sure

27:34

you remember yeah I details called Transcendence. What

27:37

is the name? Of the computer in

27:39

France and new services at all

27:41

of all the movies starring of

27:44

course Johnny Depp. He.

27:46

Did the I rumor nothing about this

27:48

movie. We are all movie dance conference

27:50

and it's Rebecca Holes in it. Or.

27:52

Me: And. My Moreau

27:55

Easy Anatomy of work and history. Murphy

27:57

call her. bow

28:00

What? Oh,

28:02

I remember this one now. This is

28:05

the one where Johnny Depp's brain goes

28:07

into it. His

28:10

consciousness is turned into an AI computer. Yeah,

28:12

he's transcendent. The transcendence

28:15

is the one where somebody transcends. Yeah, but

28:17

it's not a computer person. I wouldn't call

28:19

him a computer person. He's a computer program

28:21

based on the personality of a person. So

28:24

the evil computer is, in that movie,

28:27

Johnny Depp. That's what I'm guessing. Johnny Depp

28:29

is the... You know what, Stuart? If you can't give me

28:31

the name of the character, then I'm going to give it

28:33

to Dan. What's the name of the character in Transcendence? Uh,

28:38

I don't know. Brian?

28:40

Good guess. It's Dr. Will Castor. I'm

28:42

going to give Dan a half a

28:44

point for that one. Dan,

28:48

how do you defeat Dr. Will

28:50

Castor, the misguided AI

28:52

of Transcendence? Um,

28:55

you just unplug him. That

28:58

would be a good answer, but it's not the right one. Power

29:00

love. Power love. Um, you know what?

29:04

It's not the power of love this time. No,

29:06

you know what? It is the power of love. I'm

29:08

going to give it to you, power love, because you

29:10

know what? You threaten the computer that you're going to

29:12

kill its best friend, Paul Bettany, unless it uses its

29:14

last bit of energy to upload a virus that destroys

29:16

all technology. But then you keep a little bit of

29:18

the computer as some nanoparticles alive in your garden in

29:20

a Faraday cage. So you know what? That's

29:23

the power of love, because it was love for his friends. I

29:26

was right. I'm going to say that. Power of

29:28

love. Yeah, I was right again. Stuart, this

29:30

is your movie. It's called Oblivion. What's the name of the evil

29:32

computer in Oblivion? Okay. This

29:35

was the year that Tom Cruise had two science

29:37

fiction adventure movies. One of them

29:39

was great, and the other one was not so

29:41

good. This was the not so good one. The other

29:43

one was Oblivion, exactly. He

29:46

rides around in a sphere. Yes. That's

29:48

what I remember about it. He rides around in a

29:50

sphere. He turns out to be a clone. Uh, what's the

29:52

computer called, though? Overmind.

29:56

Great name, but wrong. Dan? Undermind.

29:59

Nope. Wrong. It is Tet. Tet is the

30:01

name of the theater, uh, named

30:03

after one of the great offensives in the, in

30:05

military history. Stewart,

30:07

how do you defeat Tet? Uh,

30:11

you like smack it with a crowbar. Uh,

30:13

not, I mean, a little, kind of, Dan, what

30:15

do you do? Uh, power

30:17

of love. I

30:19

gotta get in on this. This is the

30:21

one time love does it. That's the one

30:23

dollar guess. Yeah. You

30:27

trick it into letting you into a spaceship and then you

30:29

set off a bomb blowing it up. See, it is a

30:31

physical attack. Uh, finally, uh, Stewart, this

30:33

is for you. Uh, this is the last

30:35

question in the round. Two in a row.

30:39

Oh, Dan. Oh no. No, you're right. It's Dan.

30:41

It's Dan's turn. Although Dan started, how did I

30:43

get these, how did I get these numbers wrong?

30:45

I must have messed it up at some point.

30:47

Who cares? It doesn't matter. The history of the

30:49

universe. Dan, what's the name? Computer fucked you up.

30:51

What's the name? You're behind anyway, Dan. So what's

30:53

the name of the computer, even computer in the

30:55

movie Colossus, the four bin project. Uh,

30:58

is that called Colossus? You got that right,

31:00

Dan. And what does Colossus stand for? Just

31:03

kidding. It's not an acronym. Uh,

31:05

but actually to tell us if it was, what would it stand for? Call

31:08

out low. Us.

31:14

Do you not know how to spell the word Colossus? Yes.

31:17

I lost confidence halfway through and knowing what the letters

31:19

in Colossus. I liked call out. I thought you just

31:21

say call out love. Uh, because

31:23

Dan, how do you defeat Colossus

31:26

and Colossus the four bin project? Oh

31:28

geez. I've even seen this one. I

31:30

don't, I don't, I don't, um, you

31:33

pour milk all over the circuit. Would

31:36

be great if great if true, but Stuart, how

31:38

do you defeat Colossus and Colossus the four bin

31:41

project? Well, Colossus is immune to milk. Okay. So

31:43

I'm assuming he's going to be immune to all

31:45

liquid based. Tolerant. Yeah,

31:47

exactly. So you think it's going

31:49

to work cream, heavy creams. I

31:52

think it's due. I'm going to say logic loop. You gotta

31:54

get him in a logic loop. Oh,

31:56

it's a trick question. Guys. You don't

31:58

defeat Colossus. He wins. the end of the

32:00

movie and control of

32:02

humanity game over man game over and

32:05

that game is over too so leaving

32:07

round one It's a close game. It's a tie

32:09

game. The score is six to six This

32:12

is amazing. You guys are going head to head and you're doing a

32:14

great job This next game is gonna

32:16

be a little more mentioned as if though we've

32:19

seen your recall for facts now It's the essay

32:21

portion of the game. This is round two We're

32:23

talking about movies where you go into

32:25

a computer world There are a lot of movies people

32:27

find themselves in a virtual computer world or they you

32:29

know They get sucked in or they go there on

32:31

purpose or they discover they're in one and the computer

32:33

world seemed good at first But they always turn out

32:36

bad and this represents humanity's fear of technology or whatever

32:38

So in the movies, it's always a bad thing to

32:40

get sucked into computer world But it's

32:43

gotta be something good about them, right or else we

32:45

won't want to see movies where people get sucked into

32:47

them So in this game you're gonna tell me you're

32:49

gonna be up playing the part of a travel agent

32:51

Who is selling me on a trip to one of

32:53

these computer world? Okay, sure three points for convincing me

32:55

to go on this trip. This is a game called

32:58

micro trip And

33:02

so we're gonna start with stu we serve a

33:04

damn last time and then we ended with Dan last

33:06

time somehow I got the numbering wrong Stewart Your

33:09

your first assignment Tron sell

33:12

me on Tron. Why should we go into Tron

33:14

fucking peasy? Hey bud Yeah,

33:17

can I interest you in? Stay

33:20

in Tron now I know you're a competitive

33:22

guy and guess what when you're in Tron

33:24

all you do is play games, buddy You're

33:26

playing them all the time. You look like

33:28

a sportsman. You look like you're pretty athletic

33:30

You would love Tron you'd be throwing light

33:32

balls everywhere. You also have an eye for

33:34

design. Let me tell you Tron

33:36

looks incredible. It's bright. Everything is designed

33:38

very well minimalist But that also kind

33:41

of goes with your kind of rugged

33:43

minimalist aesthetic Also,

33:47

the soundtrack is great do you you're

33:49

I see you're wearing a daft punk t-shirt. Guess what? They

33:51

did a lot of music Do

33:54

you like do you like Robo babes? There's

33:56

plenty of them. That's what Tron's all about

33:59

babes cool stuff that looks cool, playing games

34:01

all the time. I feel like you would

34:03

love Tron. Stewart, I

34:05

gotta say, Flattery will get you getting

34:08

me to Tron, so that's a great

34:11

job. That's three full points. Yeah. Dan,

34:13

I wasn't aware you could just make up and be

34:15

careful about the person you're selling the thing to. You're

34:18

not just selling a place, you're selling

34:20

an idea and a persona. Yeah. He's

34:23

making it. You gotta sell the fantasy, the complete fantasy, and

34:25

that's what I do every day. The fantasy being a guy

34:27

with a deaf book T-shirt. Dan,

34:29

on the ex body spray commercials, they go, this

34:31

body spray smells real good. They go, no. They

34:33

go, when you put this on, you are irresistible

34:35

to women and they refuse to let go of

34:37

you. So this one, this is gonna be as

34:39

easy as Tron. Dan, tell

34:41

me I'm going to the existence world. Why

34:44

should I take a trip to existence? Oh,

34:46

easy as hell. Here's

34:48

the thing about life.

34:51

You know, you go through life, you reach a

34:53

certain age, you feel like you've seen everything. Well,

34:56

my friend, you've not seen what it's

34:58

like to live inside existence. Cause have

35:00

you ever thought to yourself,

35:02

why are all these machines made out

35:04

of metal and plastic and, you know,

35:06

inert? I have wondered that.

35:08

Yeah. Couldn't more things be

35:11

made out of like sort of goop

35:13

and flesh and like bits

35:15

of tooth, maybe? That's

35:18

the world I'm selling you in

35:20

existence. Are you still in it

35:23

right now? You don't know. That's the beauty

35:25

of it. Like you could have already agreed

35:27

to go to existence and only remember later

35:29

on. So that's why I think it's perfect

35:31

for you. Dan,

35:33

I'm gonna give you two points for

35:35

that one because

35:37

you really were losing me with the idea

35:39

that the world was made out of flesh

35:42

and teeth. But once you kind of made

35:44

me realize I might already be in existence, I

35:46

was like, yeah, I gotta take this trip just

35:48

to find out if I'm in it. Yeah, that

35:50

makes sense. That was a good one. Yeah, I

35:52

was surprised you weren't like, hey, you have a

35:54

phone right now. Imagine your phone is like soft

35:56

and made of skin. Hey, how many? you

36:00

ever wanted to make a gun out of the

36:02

bones of a duck? Now you can do it.

36:04

So Stuart, now it is your turn. You've got

36:07

another one. Tell me I'm taking a trip

36:09

to Victory, California, the computer world

36:11

from Don't Worry Darling, another flophouse

36:13

fave. Okay.

36:17

Hey, Harry Styles, right? You

36:22

know, your wife or girlfriend

36:24

who is, you know,

36:26

kind of the breadwinner and has emasculated

36:29

you. Well, why don't you knock her out

36:31

and send her to a victory, California. And

36:33

you know what? You need to go with

36:35

her. And when you're there, you get to

36:37

be the breadwinner. You get to dance all

36:39

the time. You get to hang out with

36:42

fucking Chris Pine. You

36:45

get to look cool. You get to wear cool outfits. You

36:47

don't have to worry about all this other crap. You

36:50

get to, you get to go back to when

36:52

things were like just a little bit simpler. And

36:54

as Dan McCoy says, just a little bit better.

36:58

Don't put these words. You know, when

37:01

we're, you know, you know, people do

37:03

their place. No. That's what

37:05

Dan says. No, I don't say that. So

37:07

yeah, can I interest you in a ticket

37:09

to Victory, California today? You

37:12

tried, Stu. I think if you had started with

37:14

the clothes and the glamour, you might've had

37:16

me, but starting out with the knocking out

37:18

your girlfriend, I think that

37:20

made it a deal breaker for me. So I'm sorry.

37:22

That was, you know, I feel

37:24

like you should have hit me at the fine print. I got

37:26

lost in the sauce guys. I'm sorry. So

37:29

Dan, maybe you'll have a better luck with your

37:31

next assignment. Tell me on a trip to the

37:34

very dangerous jungle in Jumanji. Welcome to

37:36

the jungle. What

37:38

is life, if

37:41

not a sense of

37:43

adventure, seeing something new, feeling

37:46

emotions, perhaps that you

37:49

haven't felt before at

37:52

a certain point, not really a sense of

37:54

where I'm going, but okay. Crave the idea

37:56

that like, I don't know, a bunch of

37:58

tigers would jump in. You or

38:00

something just to make you

38:02

feel alive. God damn it. Okay. He's got

38:05

it He's on you know this work a

38:07

day world sitting at home and Los Angeles

38:10

Typing away at a type board. That's what

38:12

they're called, right? I don't know because I

38:14

live in a world of excitement and adventure.

38:16

I haven't seen one of

38:19

your type boards and month I've

38:22

been here finding gold or some

38:24

shit. I don't even remember what happens in that

38:26

movie But it's all kind

38:28

of adventure stories style stuff, which sounds fun

38:31

to me. I'm gonna give you

38:33

one point Dan I feel

38:35

like I you it's fair You

38:37

were really you sold me on the idea that you like

38:39

it so much that you live there, you know It's not

38:41

you're not just a selling you you're

38:43

a believer a buyer. So that got me over

38:45

the hump of the edge I don't really want

38:47

a bunch of Tigers to jump at me. So

38:49

no most times Better

38:51

than not. Yeah, not a Tigers jumping at you. So

38:54

Stuart This is so you each have one more in

38:56

the round Stuart Sell me on

38:58

taking a trip to the low

39:00

budget recreation of the set from

39:02

Casablanca in the movie over drawn

39:04

at the memory bank starting Raul

39:06

Julia He goes into a computer

39:08

world and ends up at a low-budget kind of

39:10

crappy reproduction of the scenes from Casablanca Why should

39:13

I go on this trip? Hey,

39:15

yeah, you the guy who's the number

39:18

one fan of Casablanca, but doesn't have the most

39:20

money in the world Would you like to go

39:22

to a cheaper version of the thing you love?

39:25

Do you like actor Raul Julia? Well,

39:28

I do I have something for you,

39:30

39:33

cheap reproduction of Casablanca from

39:35

the movie overdrawn of this memory bank.

39:37

I Mean you got it. I'm

39:40

a movie lover on a budget. That's three Three

39:43

points right there really sure and Dan,

39:46

but I'm sure you'll have just as much luck Dan

39:48

with yours Sell me on taking a trip to the

39:50

eight minute simulation of a train that keeps blowing up

39:53

in the movie source code. Oh Man,

39:56

that's a rough one Mondays. Am I right?

40:00

I don't I don't want to

40:02

go to work. You don't want to go to

40:04

work. What if on

40:06

the way to work? You

40:08

know you go part way through you blow

40:11

up before you even get to work, but

40:13

40:15

best part. You don't die. You just reset

40:17

41:01

where I left off probably and eventually after

41:03

43:21

your primary care position No,

43:23

Justin that is absolutely not true However,

43:26

our podcast is funny and interesting and

43:28

a great way to learn about the

43:30

medical misdeeds of the past as well

43:32

as some current Not so

43:34

legit health care fast. So you're saying that

43:36

by listening to our podcast people feel better

43:38

Sure, isn't that the same reason that you

43:42

that and our podcast is free Yes,

43:45

it is free. You heard it here

43:47

First of all sawbones marital tour of misguided medicine

43:49

right here on maximum fun Just as good as

43:53

just as good as going to the doctor But but

43:56

pretty good. It's up there. So guys

43:58

we're back to computer games And

44:00

we're up to round three to remind everyone who might

44:02

have stepped away during the commercial the score is 11

44:04

to 11 Dan and

44:06

Stewart are tied. It's amazing. This is

44:08

this is amazing. And so this is

44:11

a round We're gonna talk about computer

44:13

person movies Maybe a person

44:15

comes out of a computer. Maybe someone has a

44:17

brain of the computer in it I got

44:19

like physical form virtuosity. Yeah, yeah

44:22

Maybe a computer takes on a physical form that

44:24

is different from just a robot The point is

44:26

the melding of man and machine is complete and

44:29

this represents this represents humanity's fear of technology or

44:31

whatever And so we're gonna play a game that's

44:33

called FM K dot exe And

44:39

this is the classic game of Fuck

44:42

Mary kale with characters who happen

44:44

to be computer people and This

44:47

is gonna be I think I'm trying to decide whether you guys

44:49

should each have your own sets of people or if you're

44:52

competing After dark section,

44:54

I guess yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this is very much

44:56

after dark, but the kids to bed I think

44:58

I think we should each

45:00

have our personal ratings on Okay

45:02

on each and you can on the same ones which persuade

45:04

you the most All right. So this is the first one

45:07

and you're each gonna get your turn So, you know what?

45:09

We'll take turns with who goes first for each. Okay, so

45:11

Dan It's your turn to go first then street you give

45:13

your answer. So FM K You

45:18

know to make it safe for kids instead of make it

45:20

we'll just say finger Mary kill so that's better, right? I

45:24

don't think to my other finger No,

45:27

it's full on hardcore sex. Yeah, so So

45:29

sex my kill Dan these your choices this one

45:31

Johnny mnemonic from Johnny mnemonic. He's got a computer

45:33

in his head Great Lisa from

45:35

weird science. She came out of a computer

45:37

or Lobot from Empire

45:40

Strikes Back Everyone's favorite computer

45:42

headed guy. So Dan FM

45:45

K. Who's it gonna be for which one? See

45:50

well here's Here's

45:52

the classic Problem with this is

45:55

like so if you're married to

45:57

this person you presumably like do you also

45:59

have a sexual? relationship with them or it's just

46:01

like and the fuck is just like oh, I'm

46:03

just gonna bang it out one night Yeah, which

46:05

one is the one I stand on which one

46:08

is it? Yeah, that's with with the fuck aspect.

46:10

It's all physical There's no emotional aspect with Mary.

46:12

You're emotionally entangled with this person in addition to

46:14

being physically entangled with this person. Uh-huh

46:19

Although you know, there's a certain I you

46:21

know, you have to Admit

46:24

that there's a certain like fantastic

46:26

element to the idea of like

46:28

there's someone who will provide you with Whatever

46:30

like you need in

46:32

life. This dude is talking about Lobot About

46:36

of course weird science like the moral that like

46:39

eventually the boys have to put

46:41

away that childish adolescent fantasy Sure

46:44

and and be with you

46:46

know, human beings have their own full desires

46:49

and emotional lives. Sure. Okay. So We're

46:52

talking about you Dan. What are you saying? I think

46:54

that that means that I would have to marry

46:57

of course John Johnny

47:00

mamonic. I Mean

47:02

if you can't even pronounce his name, are you gonna

47:04

eat? What's your name, sir? I'm Daniel. I'm not an

47:06

omnic Well, you just keep your eye on

47:08

it with those Soulful eyes

47:11

and of course fuck Lisa

47:13

from weird science is that that's her name, right? Yeah

47:17

Lobot I have no no personal grievance

47:19

against you, but I'll have to you

47:21

you you have to fall One

47:24

must fall. So it's you low-bot. I'm sorry. Okay

47:26

Stewart. What do you feel? Dan and I not

47:28

on the same page at all Obviously,

47:31

I'm fucking low-bot because that dude is hot

47:33

as shit I've got a

47:35

Mary Lisa because I feel like we you know

47:37

I feel like we have a lot in common

47:39

and obviously human relationships they're not all

47:41

that's cracked up to be and then I gotta kill Johnny

47:44

mamonic because I'm trying to get the favors

47:46

of the yakuza and Dan

47:52

Dan what do you have to say to that? I

47:55

mean, I think Stewart's energy really sold that one

47:57

I mean like paedo energy

48:00

and also that Stuart is much

48:02

more correct than you Dan because the

48:04

minute you said kill Lobot you were

48:06

losing this one that is not happening

48:09

you kill Johnny mnemonics that you can get

48:11

in well good with to get your katana you

48:13

fuck Lisa and you marry a Lobot Lobot is

48:15

a provider you see his relationship

48:17

with Lando Lando and Lobot have

48:19

the deepest emotional connection of any

48:21

two Star Wars characters and you

48:23

do so Stuart you're gonna get

48:25

you get partial credit so that's

48:28

one point because it's two points actually no

48:30

three points for correct so you know what

48:32

you're gonna get yeah one point for that

48:35

I'm going with the correct answer okay so

48:37

this next one okay Stuart you get your first shot at

48:40

this one Dexter Riley from the

48:42

computer war tennis shoes Job

48:44

Smith played by Jeff Ahe from the

48:46

lawnmower man or Job Smith played by

48:48

Matt Frewer from the lawnmower man to

48:50

beyond cyberspace fuck Mary kill okay I'm

48:52

gonna marry

48:55

Mary Job played by Jeff

48:57

Ahe because I feel like he's going through

48:59

a lot of growth and he's got a

49:02

lot to learn I gotta fuck Matt Frewer

49:04

cuz man what a fucking stone gold fox

49:06

and I guess that means I gotta kill

49:08

the computer there wore tennis shoes bye okay

49:10

Dan what do you say fuck I kill

49:12

Dexter Riley Joe no no here Joe Smith

49:14

Matt Frewer I am going to marry Dexter

49:18

Riley cuz I mean that's Kurt Russell

49:21

so I'm fulfilling the dream of marrying

49:23

Kurt Russell I'm

49:25

going to kill or

49:27

kill what not sorry I'm gonna fuck

49:30

Jeff Ahe as the lawnmower man who's

49:32

got a real like sleazy do anything

49:35

in bed energy to him but is

49:37

ultimately you know a psychotic person that

49:39

you wouldn't want to stick around with

49:42

and then kill Frewer who

49:44

I have not seen in the

49:46

sequels but I can only assume gives more

49:49

of a year's-ending performance as the

49:51

lawnmower man I

49:53

love Matt Frewer I'm just saying that I think

49:55

the energy is probably gonna be it's more of

49:57

a he's got he's up a little too much

49:59

headroom Yeah, the maximum amount

50:02

of headroom Dan. You know

50:04

what? I'm gonna give you

50:06

a point for your description of Jeff

50:08

fakie and why you had to have sex

50:10

with him Yeah, that makes sense actually, but

50:13

Stuart you get three points because you were

50:15

exactly right killed after Riley You marry fakie

50:17

you fuck through or because frewer's got jackhammer

50:19

energy, you know that that's gonna be a wild

50:21

night We're at fakie you can change him. Maybe

50:23

you can save it, you know, right? So that's

50:25

Three points for Stuart. Dan this is not your

50:28

round so far But maybe maybe they'll turn around

50:30

with this next one cuz Dan you got first

50:32

shot at this. So fuck Mary kill Samantha

50:35

from her this is the

50:37

computer voice or that that that uh,

50:40

Joaquin Piax falls in love with. So would you actually have sex

50:42

with her? Would you just talk you off? Well,

50:44

I mean that's a form of sex, you know, the

50:47

mind is the largest erogenous zone and all that. Yeah

50:50

Samantha from her Seth the

50:52

self-evolving thought helix from that

50:55

the evil computer that gives itself the body of Michael

50:57

Jai white in Universal Soldier the return or He's

51:01

come up. He's come up already in

51:03

conversation Sid 6.7 from virtuosity So

51:06

that's Samantha from her Seth from

51:08

Universal Soldier the return or Sid

51:10

from virtuosity I

51:14

think I'm gonna have to marry

51:17

her Because

51:22

I mean like it's just a very like she's

51:25

a very comforting presence. I think over

51:27

time it would be just you know

51:30

Just a comfort helpful comfort all times

51:32

a sin has to go. He's

51:35

a murderer and would terrify me and

51:38

I guess that Means that I

51:40

have to fuck the Universal Soldier computer even though I have

51:42

no particular feeling about it one way or the other Okay,

51:46

I feel like Dan's partially correct I

51:49

feel like you definitely have to fuck the Universal

51:51

Soldier You know because

51:53

it's Michael J white the body

51:55

on that one, right? He was

51:57

spawned forgot. He was he was on he was black

51:59

dynamite Come on. Yeah, it's amazing. Uh,

52:02

and uh, let's see, I

52:05

would have to kill her cause uh, I'm

52:09

just too bad, but like, uh,

52:11

I need like a little, I need something a

52:13

little more physically, you know, and then, uh, bones.

52:16

Yeah. And then,

52:18

uh, and then I

52:20

guess that means you don't even have bones on

52:22

the bone. Yeah. Then I'm marrying, uh, Marion said,

52:24

because I feel like, uh, I feel like I

52:27

need that kind of a, well, I certainly could

52:29

change him, but also like, I need that, like

52:31

a little bit of, I'm like a

52:33

bad boy, you know, I like a little bit of

52:35

bad boy. That's real. I'm not knowing what day he's

52:37

going to murder you. A little bit of a bad

52:40

boy. The man made up of several

52:42

like serial killer profiles.

52:44

Yep. Uh, this one,

52:47

wow. I didn't think it was going to happen. What

52:49

a turnaround. Dan, you are exactly right. You

52:51

got three points on that one. You got to

52:53

kill Sid. He's a murderer. Get

52:56

them out of there and you marry her because

52:58

she's, she's going to be, she's the most emotionally

53:00

mature of them, but you gotta have sex with

53:02

Michael J. White. You've got to do it, you

53:04

know? So Stuart, I'm going to give you one

53:06

point for that one. Uh, now

53:08

there's only one left in this. So this is again,

53:10

fuck Mary kale. Uh, Stuart, you answered

53:12

the first. So resetting

53:14

here are your options. Trickster

53:17

from brain scan, the

53:19

evil video game character trickster for brain

53:21

scan. I know who we

53:25

are. Simone, the virtual actress from

53:27

the movie SIM one starring Al

53:30

Pacino, the combo of

53:32

Matako, Casa Nagi and the puppet master

53:34

from the end of ghost in the

53:36

shell where they've merged into one being,

53:38

but bonus option. You can

53:40

also choose as one of your alternatives,

53:43

the holographic split personality projections of agent

53:45

Sebastian, AKA the toy maker, the human

53:47

hacker, imprisoned in cyberspace with AI personalities

53:50

from spike it 3d game over played

53:52

by Sylvester Stallone. So once again, your

53:54

twins are trickster from brain scan. Simone,

53:57

the virtual, virtual access and SIM one. the

54:00

combo of Kusanagi and the puppet master from the end of

54:02

Ghost in the Shell and or the AI Or

54:06

I can do it, I can swap them out. Yeah. Yeah the

54:08

toy maker, you know what you don't have to use all of

54:10

them Okay, okay. So somebody is

54:12

somebody could just be left left left on the

54:14

side. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Ooh, okay This is a

54:16

channel. This is a really hard one. I have

54:18

to go first. Oh, wow, that's really tough but

54:22

I think I can do this so man

54:25

Trickster from brain scan. I'm gonna

54:27

have to say May

54:32

Wow I

54:34

just feel like he's really committed and he would

54:36

pay he pays a lot of attention to Eddie

54:38

for a long of that So I feel like

54:40

I like that kind of attention paid toward me,

54:42

you know Okay,

54:45

and yeah, so maybe Psychotic

54:48

it makes me gaslights me into thinking I'm

54:50

killing people or maybe I'm killing people. Am

54:52

I killing people? Who knows am

54:54

I just playing a game? So

54:57

that's that I got I got that taken care

54:59

of I'm gonna have to

55:01

wait Wait,

55:03

who's oh? I'll

55:06

get oh, I guess I have sex

55:08

with Al Pacino's robot girlfriend Managers,

55:15

oh Okay. Yeah,

55:17

well, that's fine part of the part

55:19

of Stewart's interest And then I guess I'm

55:21

gonna have to cut the other when

55:23

you were cuckolding Al Pacino than anything

55:25

else. Yeah That's

55:27

why you were pursuing Beverly D'Angelo for so long, you

55:30

know, oh I

55:34

mean for a large part of my life that the answer to

55:36

that is yes the I

55:39

guess that means I'm gonna have to I'm

55:41

gonna have to kill Kusanagi if I'm going

55:43

to attempt to But Kusanagi is a wily

55:45

combatant. So we'll see how you're surviving that

55:47

you've sealed your doom Dan What

55:50

about you? So do you want me to tell you

55:52

what the options are? No, I got it Uh, because

55:54

it's trickster from brain scan by the moment from sim

55:56

one that combo of Kusanagi and pump master who goes

55:59

to the shell And of course

56:01

the holographic split personality AI projections

56:03

of agent Sebastian, AKA the Toymaker

56:05

from Spy Kids 3D Game Over.

56:09

Yeah. Well, here's the thing. Like I

56:11

certainly have my hedonistic side, but I

56:13

think overall I'm, I'm

56:16

too vanilla in my needs to

56:18

go for anyone other than Simone

56:21

for, uh, my

56:23

marriage. Uh, beautiful,

56:25

highly accomplished actress who, uh,

56:27

presumably, uh, you know, is

56:30

bringing is a breadwinner from her

56:33

Hollywood, uh, stardom. Yeah. Huge star. Yeah.

56:35

And, uh, Yeah. Cause they pay computers

56:37

a lot of money. Well,

56:40

are they like tricking people that that's as real

56:42

in the movie? I can't even remember. They are. They

56:45

are. That's true. But I mean, this literally was

56:47

what we just went on strike about was not, not

56:49

replacing human actors with AI. So it's interesting that you're

56:51

really sweeping with the enemy on this one, but

56:53

okay, yes, that's true. But this is for marriage. Marriage

56:55

you're saying Simone. Yeah. Okay. Fuck,

56:58

uh, the trickster cause must,

57:01

must know if you tricks in bed, you know, when

57:05

he puts Eddie, Eddie for longs whole head in his

57:07

mouth. Imagine what

57:09

he could do. He goes crazy. What you

57:11

want is a huge mouth. Yeah.

57:15

And, uh, some of us have specific require.

57:17

Yeah, that's true. That's true. I forgot. And

57:19

whether it's the hybrid creature or Stallone that's

57:21

too scary for me. So I'm afraid he'll

57:24

have to be killed. Both

57:26

of them. Okay. Wow. Uh,

57:28

let's take a look at this. So, uh,

57:30

the correct answers are of course that you,

57:33

you do marry Simone. So Dan, that's great

57:35

right there. Uh, you kill trickster. You got

57:37

to get rid of trickster. Sorry. And

57:40

you have sex with those split personalities.

57:42

You're having a foursome with three Sylvester Stallones. That's

57:44

true. Sorry guys. That's what you're going to have

57:47

to do. So let's see. Yeah. I guess we

57:49

really biff this one. But no, you know what,

57:51

Stuart, I'm going to give you a point for

57:53

marrying the trickster because I feel like that showed.

57:56

Death of compassion that I certainly don't have. I

57:58

guess. Yeah. And bravery. And Dan

58:00

I'm gonna give you a a

58:03

one also for marrying Simone So let's

58:05

take a look at the ends of

58:07

this so this oh the things are

58:09

things are starting to heat up We

58:12

now have a difference in the scores

58:14

Stewart has taken a one-point

58:17

lead after that round the score

58:19

is now Stewart

58:22

Dan 22 That's

58:24

right not 22. Sorry Dan 16 Stewart 17

58:29

so I added two numbers twice this would

58:31

sting if it didn't feel incredibly arbitrary

58:33

It's nothing gets more arbitrary. No as I

58:35

said, I'm not particularly interested in games,

58:37

but I think I might be coming around

58:41

Now here's this next round if you want arbitrary

58:43

Let's get let's get going because this is around

58:45

for the last kind of computer movie movies where

58:47

someone just uses a computer at Some point in

58:49

the movie now So

58:52

what we're gonna do here is for a total

58:54

of three points for the winner Which

58:57

means whoever wins this round is the winner

58:59

of the game? This is enough for you

59:01

to take the game Each

59:03

take turns naming movies where someone

59:05

uses a computer until one of

59:08

you runs out And so this can see me go

59:10

on forever. So I'm calling this game infinite joust Just

59:17

back and forth Dan you

59:19

started first last time right I believe so

59:21

Stewart you start you just name a movie

59:23

where someone uses a computer Dan you do

59:25

the same and we'll see where this ends

59:27

fireproof Sneakers

59:29

min women and children clear

59:32

and present danger Ghostbusters

59:35

disclosure Just

59:39

cause working girl I

59:44

Don't go anything fast Commando

59:50

hackers I was surprised hackers took

59:52

this long to get to Predator

59:55

than that Do

59:58

these a computer and predator I

1:00:00

think the predator I guess uses a computer. Fair.

1:00:02

Okay, Dan, you saved him. He uses a computer

1:00:04

on his wrist. Yeah, sure. Oh

1:00:06

man, Dan was my lifeline on that one. It's

1:00:09

rare when your opponent steps in as your lifeline,

1:00:11

but it was a good choice. Uh,

1:00:13

sleepless in Seattle. Adaptation.

1:00:16

You've got mail. Um...

1:00:21

Come on, Dan. It's the most

1:00:23

common piece of personal electronics is

1:00:25

on a phone. Making Mr. Right.

1:00:29

What women want. They

1:00:31

use a computer in what women want? I

1:00:33

think they work in an office. Probably. There's

1:00:35

all the computers in there. Um,

1:00:39

you know what? I can't remember any other computer movies. I

1:00:41

can't remember any of them. The game. Really?

1:00:43

No other movies where someone uses a computer.

1:00:47

Hell yeah, I'm a simple man. I like games

1:00:49

that end. Well,

1:00:52

sorry, this one's not. I'm giving you one, Dan. I know who killed me.

1:00:54

Where Lindsay Lohan looks up some information on a computer.

1:00:56

Stu. Oh wow. Okay. Shit.

1:01:00

Now I'm stumped. Um... Transcent.

1:01:05

Robocop. Oh fuck. That's

1:01:07

a good one. That is a good one. Yeah. Um,

1:01:10

Robocop 2. Robocop 3. Robocop

1:01:14

4. Uh, well

1:01:16

there is no such thing. Oh

1:01:19

wow. But I'll accept the remake of Robocop. So

1:01:21

Dan, that's up back to you. Oh

1:01:24

man, we're trapped here. There's

1:01:27

no way to escape this one, Stuart. So he says

1:01:29

Starship Troopers? What do you say that? Oh man, where's

1:01:32

the Minotaur at the center of this labyrinth? Uh,

1:01:37

Labyrinth. Oh,

1:01:40

okay. You know what? That's... I

1:01:42

think there is... I don't think there

1:01:45

is a computer in Labyrinth. Lister's right

1:01:47

in. Is there a computer in Labyrinth?

1:01:49

Is there a computer in Labyrinth? But,

1:01:51

you know, it's possible that

1:01:53

you are thinking of the movie Big, in which there

1:01:55

is a kind of fantasy computer game at the beginning.

1:01:57

So we'll say Big for Stuart. Dan, you're up next.

1:02:00

Oh, that's what's happening. I think so right. He's playing

1:02:02

like a game or something. I think I

1:02:05

remember yeah The

1:02:14

mill on the floss that's a that's

1:02:16

a that's a movie right not just a book I

1:02:18

mean, it's a book. I don't know if they made I mean there wouldn't

1:02:20

be a computer in it cuz it's a it's a Book

1:02:23

no damn. I made a terrible mistake. Oh,

1:02:25

no. Oh and then Stewart compounded it No,

1:02:27

it's crossing also does not have any computers

1:02:29

in it. Are you sure?

1:02:31

Can you? Listen

1:02:34

right in and tell us you guys you

1:02:37

defeated my it in it You defeated

1:02:39

the evil evil computer Elliot who thought

1:02:41

he had trapped you but you found a way

1:02:43

out You found a hidden backdoor by naming movies

1:02:45

that are set in the past

1:02:47

and therefore don't have computers in them in

1:02:49

this way You are both winners. You have

1:02:51

won by defeating the program We

1:02:54

did it You don't have to

1:02:56

do it anymore. It's that you did it already. You know,

1:02:58

it's not in the loop You've escaped this game world. And

1:03:01

so I guess the only question I've left is if Elliot

1:03:03

was a computer acronym What would it stand for? electronic

1:03:06

liar Love

1:03:12

Idioms or

1:03:15

tater tots Okay,

1:03:18

accurate computer Everybody

1:03:25

ladies love Ichthyosaurs

1:03:33

or tater tots. Yeah You

1:03:36

did it great work both you guys I

1:03:38

think you're you're both winners not because of

1:03:40

the score but because you have managed to

1:03:43

break the game and escape from the horrifying

1:03:45

computer Oh No,

1:03:48

does not compute does not compute

1:03:50

and then I'm there's smoke coming out of me and

1:03:52

sparks and you got Yeah,

1:03:56

and you guys run out just as the building explodes

1:03:58

that is an explosion And

1:04:01

now you've won the day except camera

1:04:04

pans down to your phone where there's a

1:04:06
