Hey, welcome everybody to another episode

0:07

of the peach pit, the

0:09

only podcast that covers the

0:12

previous episodes of the flophouse podcast,

0:14

a podcast that's not just for

0:16

jerks anymore. Uh, I'm your

0:18

host Stuart Wellington and joining me today, I have

0:20

some really great guests, but before we talk about

0:22

those guests, I'm going to throw it to one

0:24

of those guests. Dan McCoy,

0:26

you have some words for us, right? A

0:29

very confusing way to set up what is

0:31

a max fund drive episode. Uh,

0:33

max fund drive, of course, the

0:35

time of year where, uh, listeners

0:38

like you support the

0:40

shows that you love, uh, like the

0:42

flophouse, what this, uh, show really

0:45

is outside of the fiction of the peach pit.

0:48

Uh, Al Stewart is making a face as

0:50

if he's just made by this.

0:52

Anyway, Dan, Dan, course, Dan, it's max fund

0:54

drive. It's max fund drive. It's the

0:56

time of year when we come to you to

0:58

ask for the financial support that allows us to

1:00

keep making the shows you love and tolerate the

1:02

flophouse can only exist because folks like you support

1:04

it at $5 a month or more. And right

1:07

now, I just want to say personally,

1:09

as the entertainment industry continues to

1:11

implode professional podcaster is the only

1:14

job I have. So please help

1:16

keep me off the streets and take away

1:18

some of the sting from the gales of

1:21

laughter that writing podcaster as your job inspires

1:23

and people by going to right now,

1:25

maximum fun.org/join and becoming a

1:28

max fund member. We'll

1:30

talk a little bit more about the drive

1:33

later, but let's reenter this peach pit,

1:35

uh, subset of the flophouse. Now, like

1:39

Dan said, as the flophouse can exist

1:41

without the support of max fund supporters,

1:44

the peach bit cannot exist without the support

1:46

of the flophouse podcast, a podcast that I

1:48

assume you already listened to now joining me

1:51

today. I have all three hosts of the

1:53

flophouse podcast and we're going to be talking

1:55

about a special episode. We're going

1:57

to be talking about episode four, 19 of the flop.

2:00

That's right the cat person episode and with

2:02

me are the hosts of that podcast the

2:04

stars of that podcast Dan McCoy Halle Hagelin

2:07

LA Kaitlyn. How are you guys doing pause

2:09

for pause for applause, please? And

2:12

laughter and Because you guys

2:14

are doing like little dances or something and our names

2:16

are hilarious Pretending we don't know

2:19

where to sit picking up And

2:23

pause is the perfect word for it because we talked

2:25

about a movie that had cat in the title And

2:27

we got them. Yeah, LA

2:29

is already on fire. I love this. I can't believe I'm in the

2:31

room with you guys. So Halle

2:33

this is your first time joining us here on the

2:35

Peach Pit. Thank you so much.

2:37

It's a big deal It

2:41

feels like a big deal. I actually had no

2:43

idea what we were gonna talk about today So

2:45

I'm learning as we go folks. I

2:47

think all four of us are learning as we go

2:49

That's kind of a joy of being a human being

2:52

is that you take in Information and

2:54

you process it and you learn every day

2:56

now speaking of learning Halle You're

3:00

not living now having listened to

3:02

the What's

3:05

on the other side yeah, Stuart, what are we doing

3:07

today? Oh, no, it's okay. You have some more bits

3:10

L.a. Caleb Lord of bits is dropping some

3:12

fresh hot ones on us But

3:14

real quick Halle I

3:16

learned some new things about you as did

3:19

all of the listeners you speak Portuguese. How

3:21

did that come about? I Lived

3:26

abroad for two years in

3:28

Argentina on the border of

3:32

Paraguay, so in the northernmost part

3:34

of Argentina also very close to

3:37

Brazil so

3:39

I Became very

3:41

interested in the Portuguese language a lot of the

3:43

people in the town that I lived in were

3:46

like Brazil's the

3:48

best country in the world Brazil's are the most

3:50

beautiful people in the world Brazilian for the most

3:52

beautiful people in the world everyone who lives in

3:54

Brazil is the happiest in the world You know,

3:56

I think it's a little more complicated than that,

3:58

but it all led me to I want

4:00

to learn a little bit more about these people. I want

4:02

to talk to them. So I

4:04

studied Portuguese in college and then I

4:07

spent some time abroad there. And, you

4:09

know, it was a very specific

4:11

interest in the Southern Cone that

4:14

led me to this acquiring

4:17

of knowledge. Yeah. Uh,

4:20

that is fascinating. And speaking of the Southern

4:23

Hemisphere and travel, I also just got back

4:25

as I was not featured on that episode

4:27

of the podcast. I just got back from

4:29

travel abroad. I was in Australia. Yeah.

4:32

I was actually kind of amazed that you knew

4:35

what happened on the cat people episode,

4:37

considering you're not here and you've been

4:39

in Australia for several weeks and we haven't

4:41

dropped that episode better than people who

4:43

were there for the episode cat person.

4:45

Yeah. Sorry. Well, uh, just to

4:47

fill you guys in, I listened to an early cut

4:49

of the episode and I watched the movie

4:51

cat person on my flight back from

4:53

Australia. Uh, I

4:55

used up my, my precious should have been

4:57

sleeping time, uh, watching cat person. I mean,

4:59

but cat person couldn't have taken the entire

5:01

flight. It's a two hour movie and that

5:04

must be what? An 11 hour flight? Uh,

5:06

it's 15 hours to from Sydney to

5:08

LA and then another six hours back

5:11

to New York. Wow. Yeah.

5:13

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So how much to watch

5:15

that a lot of time? That's

5:18

the only, only entertainment. The in-flight

5:20

movies are down. I threw my

5:23

books in the garbage because

5:25

I was like cat person is going to see me

5:27

through it. I think when you arrived in Australia, they

5:29

found the books in your luggage and they said, can't

5:32

bring these mate. And they just threw them in the

5:34

trash. The books are not allowed in Australia. Yeah. No

5:36

books at all. Uh, yep. Only

5:39

dollar redos did redos and, uh,

5:41

I don't know, uh, koala bears.

5:44

Um, I guess if you'd called them booker redos,

5:46

they would have let you keep them. Yeah. I

5:48

had only thought of that. If I declared them

5:50

in book language, they're like, do you have anything

5:52

to declarity do? And you're like, I have these

5:54

books only bookery dues allowed. And then again, threw

5:56

them in the garbage. Yeah. Threw them in the, in the,

5:58

in the couch pocket of a. kangaroos that he could take

6:00

it to the ocean and dump them in. The

6:03

garbage goes the other way in Australia.

6:06

Yeah, it goes back into your mouth. The,

6:11

the fun thing is that, uh, I,

6:14

uh, did not get enough sleep. I'm still super

6:16

jet lagged. Uh, the day I

6:18

arrived, I ended up sleeping 13 hours, which just

6:20

did not reset my sleep schedule. And then I

6:22

had a double session with my therapist. So I'm

6:24

a mess guys. I'm already emotional. I'm a Pisces.

6:27

You guys know this. So I'm a total, I'm

6:29

a, I'm a rec right now. So let's see

6:31

how this episode goes. Um, so,

6:34

Hallie, I've never heard of a

6:36

double session with a therapist. I want

6:38

to dig into this, but I don't know. You

6:41

can tell how emotional I am. You get twice as

6:43

much closure, right? Well,

6:45

if like, it feels like the first

6:47

session was just me explaining how my

6:49

trip went and then, uh,

6:51

the second, the second half of the session,

6:53

which was another full session was just, uh,

6:57

every, every emotional scab, old

6:59

and new picked fresh and,

7:01

uh, left me kind of

7:03

in a state where between that and

7:05

my odd like sleep schedule left me

7:07

feeling like sad and high in a

7:09

way that I was not prepared for.

7:11

Oh, Stewart. It

7:15

just kind of makes sense though. Cause I do

7:17

feel like every therapy session ends just as you're

7:19

getting to the, the, the deep stuff, you know?

7:21

Like, okay, well, it's time to go. But, but

7:23

I'm, but put me back together

7:25

again, please. Yeah. Now, while I was in

7:27

Australia, I did a couple of, uh, cold

7:30

plunge therapy, uh, experiences and, uh, so it

7:32

was kind of like that. Like after the

7:34

first session, I was like, okay,

7:36

get me out of this. This hurts. My

7:38

muscles are cramping and I can't breathe. Uh,

7:41

unfortunately I had a whole nother session to go

7:43

and here we are. So better than a cold

7:45

play therapy plunge, which is no fun. No,

7:49

nobody enjoys that. Not only members

7:51

of cold. Like, yeah. Um, Hallie,

7:54

you talk about, you've talked about living in other

7:56

places. You live in Los Angeles

7:59

now, but you. used to live over here on

8:01

the East Coast. What do you miss most about living

8:03

on the East Coast? Dan.

8:09

I was making eyes at Hallie hoping

8:13

if you ask Elliott, LA just says pizza. And

8:19

my Ninja turtle friends. Well the potential to have pizza with

8:21

a Ninja turtle, cause they do have pizza here, but you're

8:23

never going to be able to eat it with a Ninja

8:25

turtle unless they've come out for a meeting. Yeah.

8:28

You're at Universal Studios. Okay.

8:32

That's a lot. I miss a lot. I feel

8:34

like I have come to romanticize New York a

8:36

lot more than, uh, I actually liked it while

8:39

I was there. I

8:41

feel like people are so smart there.

8:43

They dress so cool. You never have

8:45

to, uh, you never have

8:47

to drive anywhere. You just hop on the

8:49

subway. I got so many more steps. I

8:51

was so much hotter, you know, children. Yeah.

8:56

Yeah. Very specific. I

8:58

mean, yeah, I mean, Elliott seems to have

9:01

thrown New York in the garbage by comparison,

9:03

like, uh, to be honest, that's a New

9:05

York thing to do. There's garbage cans everywhere,

9:07

but I don't think it's, it's not that I've thrown New

9:09

York in the garbage is that I have tried to

9:11

romanticize it and I've had trouble romanticizing it because as

9:13

much as I love New York and it's the greatest

9:16

city in the world and it's very special to me,

9:18

I do remember a lot of the

9:20

frustrations of like when Hallie's like, you don't have

9:22

to drive cause you can ride the subway. I

9:24

have so many memories of sitting in a stopped

9:26

subway car in the middle of a tunnel, not

9:28

knowing if I would die there, if it would

9:30

ever move again, where if I'm in a car,

9:32

I can always potentially just get out of my

9:34

car and abandoned on the road. If the traffic

9:36

is bad enough and that if you

9:38

were stuck in that, that subway car, you could just eat

9:40

your copy of the power broker and live for, I

9:42

don't know, like a couple of days, it would be, it

9:45

would last me a little while. That's true. But then

9:47

I'd be each way. It would be like, it would be

9:49

like destroying a child, you know, it would be, it

9:51

would be such a hard sacrifice to make, but then

9:53

it lives on inside you. The book. Yeah.

9:55

But I was, I mean, I was just in New

9:57

Jersey for a few days recently. and

10:00

got to drive through New York for a

10:02

family event that was not a pleasant family

10:04

event. But I

10:06

enjoyed seeing those gray skies and

10:08

gray buildings and gray pavement all

10:11

over again. I

10:13

did feel the power and intensity of New York. Yeah, I

10:15

miss that, yeah. Yeah, the

10:17

intensity. And I miss, when I was

10:19

in New York and I used to work for a

10:21

television show and I had a regular paycheck every week.

10:23

Yeah, that was nice. That was pretty great, yeah. I

10:25

live in New York and I miss that as well.

10:28

So it's not a New York specific way. Guys,

10:30

and I'm kind of the same way.

10:32

It's only been a couple of days,

10:35

but already I'm missing Australia, I'm missing

10:37

all the fun accents, I'm missing all

10:39

the little critters you can see running

10:41

around. I might even get one

10:43

of those mullet haircuts that all

10:45

those kids over there have that have the

10:47

sides extra shaved, which I guess allows their

10:49

sunglasses to stay on better. I

10:51

don't know, maybe grow a little mustache. I

10:54

mean, I think it's cool for Australians that mullets and

10:56

mustaches can hit again. I

10:58

mean, Stuart, I understand the desire to

11:00

ruin something beautiful, but don't do either

11:02

of those things. Yeah. And

11:05

Stuart, I think you should take solace and

11:07

say that you're not here in Australian accents.

11:09

We are hearing the greatest accent in the

11:11

world. That's a heavy New York accent. Hey,

11:13

what you doing? Get out of my face.

11:15

Say goodbye. Oh, what's the matter with you?

11:18

Joey, Joey. I'm working here.

11:20

Joey, tell Richie what you told

11:22

me. Joey, I

11:24

mean, listen to this. Bagel. Tony,

11:27

Tony, do you have, shall we send to

11:29

Richie? What a,

11:32

this, these mating calls. Now,

11:34

speech, Derry the theater, Jane

11:37

Jacobs, New York. Yeah. The next

11:39

question is for Hallie. I can

11:41

text Stanford white. Yeah. Oh,

11:44

Stanie white. I love him. Hey,

11:46

hey, Stanie white. Hey, tell me that

11:48

thing you said about the other guy.

11:50

Anyway, next question is for Hallie again.

11:52

How do you take your martinis? I

11:57

take them. Pune

11:59

or vodka. Gin, always. Saffire,

12:02

gin. You

12:04

love colonialism. Sometimes

12:07

Plymouth. Oh, okay.

12:09

Also colonialism. Naval rum. Naval

12:12

gin, yeah. I like it. Naval

12:14

rum is rum that you squeeze out of a person's belly button, right? I

12:16

saw that in a movie once. I like them

12:19

very dry. Oh, okay. Like

12:23

how dry? Do you just like to show the

12:25

glass of the bottle? Or do you actually pour

12:27

some in? Do you do a wash? No,

12:31

I don't do a wash. Okay. But

12:34

for a long time, I was, you know, historically

12:36

I've always gone olives. I don't really like it

12:38

dirty if it's going to be dirty, just like

12:41

the tiniest bit dirty. But I'm

12:43

not a big, super dirty. You sound like

12:45

LA right now. Not a

12:47

super dirty gal. Just like a little dirty, yeah. Just so

12:49

I know I'm doing something wrong, but not so bad that

12:51

I feel bad about my own. No, I wanted to be

12:53

fucked. Martine to be fucked up. I

12:57

would have spent the next day wandering with my head in my

12:59

hands going, what did I drink last night? How could I have

13:01

done that? Stewart just tips

13:03

a shot into some brine. That

13:06

sounds great. That sounds great, Dan.

13:09

I had a cigarette martini at

13:11

a fancy cocktail bar here in

13:13

the city, and I think

13:15

they like smoked the olives or some

13:17

shit, because it was like, it was like,

13:19

I didn't know people know a lot. Was it good? Did you

13:22

like it? It was delicious. It

13:24

was great. It was probably like

13:26

$28 or something. Well,

13:29

I've started taking it with

13:31

a twist recently. I've grown

13:34

tired of so many olives. I feel like

13:36

it gets too salty by the end, even

13:38

when it's no olive juice, just the olives.

13:40

But I started doing it with a twist.

13:43

Thanks for asking. Yeah, no, thanks

13:45

for answering. That's what the

13:47

Peach Fits All About is finding out

13:49

more about these floppers. Speaking about finding

13:51

out floppers, we learned a little bit

13:53

about a little dream Elliott had of

13:55

a Seinfeld spec script, and the world

13:58

is on fire wanting more. So

14:00

now that I have three bona fide

14:02

TV writers with me, can

14:04

you guys answer, is there any non-off-the-air

14:10

television show that you

14:12

would like to write

14:14

a script for? Any

14:16

show that's not on the air now? You

14:19

kind of confused me. Okay, okay, yeah. Not on

14:21

the air now. Part of

14:23

the piece of it is trying to figure out exactly

14:25

what I'm trying to say. It's

14:27

like reading a Gene Wolf novel. It's a GeneFit,

14:30

yeah. And keep looking up words

14:32

on my phone in the dictionary. And

14:34

we figure it out, of course. We go

14:36

to the Peach Pit website and plug in

14:38

all the clues that we've gathered from the

14:40

episode. You got to wear the special

14:42

glasses. And then you win a prize, that prize being

14:44

the knowledge that there is no prize. You

14:47

know, it was like, I

14:50

wrote, you know, The Simpsons is still on the

14:52

air, but I wrote A Simpsons Spec about

14:54

10 years later than anyone would care about A

14:57

Simpsons Spec, and that was like 15 years ago

14:59

now. But like, I... Give us

15:01

a, give us a taste. What was it

15:03

about? What happened in it? Was that the

15:05

one where Bart killed Homer by accident and he had to hide

15:07

the body? No! Homer would

15:10

have been dead, so he wouldn't have said no, but

15:12

you know. I

15:14

think it was... I didn't say it. I

15:19

think it was called Jesus Christ

15:21

Superstation, and it

15:24

was about how Homer

15:26

took over the local

15:30

public airwaves that

15:32

like, Ned had done, had like religious programming

15:34

on there, but Homer took it over and

15:36

had his version of religious programming that was

15:39

much more popular. That's a good

15:41

plot. Yeah. That's a good premise.

15:43

That's great. That's great. Producers,

15:45

can I have this up or steal it? Sure.

15:49

Elliot Howley, have you guys got any, you

15:51

can't do Night Court. Night Court's already back

15:53

and not as good as it used to

15:55

be. Yeah. I mean,

15:57

I would, I mean, that Seinfeld, I would love to...

16:00

I think I might write that spec trip if I can find

16:02

the time just for the exercise of

16:04

it Yeah, love to write a news radio.

16:06

I love that show. Yeah,

16:08

the night court of my generation

16:10

news radio. Yeah, I

16:12

would do Golden girls I'd love

16:14

to do. Yeah, I do Herman Ted Yeah,

16:21

or babes In

16:24

the show babes Wait,

16:26

what's the show babe? You don't remember babes?

16:28

No, you remember the show that ran for

16:30

one season on Fox in the early night

16:33

No, it's about about a pig in Australia.

16:35

No, it was about

16:37

three beautiful

16:40

big sisters Who

16:44

re Ruben ask? Yes. I'm listening

16:46

I remember the the the earliest

16:48

promos were them chasing Bart Simpson.

16:50

It was implied that No,

16:53

but the end at the very end of

16:55

the credits They're

17:01

all lying on a fold-out couch and it

17:03

goes ba ba ba ba babes And

17:07

they all go But

17:10

I like Okay,

17:15

so yeah, I mean I haven't seen any

17:17

episodes of babes But I what would you

17:19

what kind of a script would you write

17:21

for babes? Oh Geez

17:26

Really putting me on the spot here. Yeah, that's

17:28

what we do. We have the hard-hitting You

17:31

know, one of them is going through menopause

17:38

And they don't know which one they have to figure it out yeah

17:43

Dot dot dot shenanigans Of

17:49

the episode Come

17:54

with a pitch like that not anymore

17:56

because TV is closed for business Let

18:03

me tell you a little bit more about

18:06

Max Fund Drive. This is dropping just before

18:08

Max Fund Drive technically starts, but you know

18:10

what? Doesn't matter. One day before Max Fund

18:12

Drive. That's what I say. What is it?

18:15

It's the one time of year we

18:17

all come together to invite you to

18:20

support this show as a member or

18:22

by boosting, by boosting or upgrading your

18:24

membership. Uh, what's a

18:26

Max Fund membership? It pays for shows directly.

18:29

You pledge support and

18:31

you get to pick the shows that

18:34

you listen to and those shows then

18:36

get your money a

18:38

little off the top, goes to the network

18:40

that helps us keep things running and network.

18:43

By the way, that is now at this

18:45

time worker owned. It is a worker owned

18:47

cooperative, meaning that your money

18:49

goes to us, the creators. And

18:51

it goes to Max Fund worker owners and not to

18:54

some CEO who commissions

18:56

entertainment, then deletes it

18:58

as a tax write off. It's

19:00

not going to some shadowy overseer

19:02

named checks. Notes. Jesse Thorn. If

19:06

you are one of the people who inexplicably was

19:08

mad about that, it's not going to only

19:11

to worker owners. Hey, why

19:14

is member support key? I'm sure you

19:16

have had something that you love, whether

19:19

it be a TV show or a podcast

19:21

canceled in the past year because the corporate

19:23

overlords didn't think it made enough money and

19:26

we don't have those people. You're our

19:28

bosses. You decide whether we get to

19:30

keep going, but that means that if

19:32

you want us to keep going, we can only do

19:35

it with your help. Being independent

19:37

means we can keep doing the stupid shit

19:39

we think is funny because we're

19:41

betting that you think it is funny too. There

19:44

are no gatekeepers. We make the show we want to make.

our stuff from previous years, uh, one thing

20:21

that's going to be in there is our spawn live

20:23

show that we did in LA. So if you want

20:26

20:59

This is the only way you're going to get it. Yeah.

21:03

Uh, you can boost if you're already

21:05

a member, but you want to help a little extra, but

21:07

you can't, you know, fully upgrade to the next tier. There's

21:09

an option to boost by a couple of dollars a show

21:11

and dollars

21:14

or so, not dollars a show. I sort of slurred

21:16

those words. I want to make it very clear, very

21:18

clear. There are also different ways

21:20

to pay depending on what is right for you. You can

21:23

join monthly at $5 a month or more

21:25

as mentioned, or if you'd rather get it all done

21:27

at once, you're going to opt to pay upfront

21:29

for a year of support. And when your

21:31

year is up, it'll revert to monthly unless you

21:33

choose to pay upfront for another year. So

21:37

please go

21:39

to maximumfun.org/join and

21:41

help make this show

21:44

happen. Now let's get into

21:46

cat person, the movie, but also let's talk

21:48

a little bit about cat person, the book,

21:50

because unlike the three of you, I

21:52

am, I did not read the short story. Now granted,

21:55

I had plenty of time to read it while I

21:57

was on my flight. Instead, I read.

22:00

The tune to romance novels and though the

22:02

first Black Company novels those were great So

22:04

I plenty of time to read this but

22:06

I did not. Ah so you guys are

22:09

gonna have to answer a couple of questions

22:11

for me. Your first of all his Isabella

22:13

Rossellini in the Sword Story. That's a bigger

22:15

know unfortunately like either her or her character's

22:18

gonna intersections here you nine or wine. I

22:20

mean like the I was gonna say like

22:22

if you if you take the first two

22:24

thirds of the movie and then remove all

22:27

the bullshit from it does busy the short

22:29

story but we'll. Have at last more

22:31

question. Okay, so I have a

22:33

question about his Isabella Rossellini mouth.

22:35

So her character if you'll recall,

22:38

was the college professor who is

22:40

for like. Entomology or sociology?

22:42

Or an apology or nothing to

22:44

see a semester. These days it

22:46

seems to be like yes, he's

22:48

a biologist specializing in the macabre.

22:50

Ah, now see and see. A

22:52

has an obsession with his ant

22:54

colonies he's been cultivating Now do

22:56

you think? is he any point

22:58

they were considering also making for

23:00

Margot? The the lead characters aren't.

23:04

Also exists with ants as a

23:06

never was the main reason for

23:08

his and get the Amazon our

23:11

guessing they never considered that. Wouldn't

23:13

nothing they have to pay per word. As

23:16

easy as a symbol of

23:18

hominin downtown about a good

23:20

we'll. Give

23:22

you that bad word and the wire

23:24

is like these are two different words.

23:26

Ah, this, they sound the same and

23:28

and on the road court it's okay

23:31

with. That was a satisfying answer to

23:33

my question. Has. The

23:35

now you're saying all the bullshit and

23:37

taken out now in the short stories.

23:39

Is there a dog character? And.

23:42

No, no, don't know. what about male did have

23:44

to the cats ever show up in the sword

23:46

story? Or the point is he on

23:48

see the cats? yeah. I didn't see. does

23:51

like wonder right? and yeah, sorry

23:53

about like. But in this arts or

23:55

I think she's also like where this other the cat it's and.

23:57

But. There's No Mercy opens up a door and

23:59

two cats. The now on everything everything at

24:01

the end where she is decide okay you

24:03

have got attached in the invade his home

24:06

to stalk it, do it to surveil him

24:08

and the everything do they fight? That's all

24:10

original to the film. Okay so

24:12

oh yes, a set. so wait, desert me

24:14

seems so that's a that makes the the

24:16

the final actor Like that's a little bit

24:18

of like fan fiction element there were there

24:21

like everybody when they read the original story

24:23

was dying to know about these cats. One

24:25

that's a nap. Yeah, one hundred an undergrad,

24:27

a cast and and what if we could

24:29

get a dog in there? I mean the

24:32

implication that he has. Said. Following her

24:34

to set up this first meeting I

24:36

believe is not. I think that's all

24:38

new. The movie to Honor Sword sorry

24:40

it's this. Everything is above board in

24:42

terms of the meat and movie theater.

24:44

He is not a kind of he's

24:46

not, He's must is that it's haunted

24:48

figure whose with his black pounds stocks

24:50

the streets looking for women Soon Meet

24:52

with his young son. Ah

24:55

Ok and ah Harrison

24:57

Ford. Is Harrison Ford mentioned in

24:59

the short story at all? No.

25:02

That's all result of the move.

25:04

Yeah, right, Yeah. Now there's a

25:06

sequence where Margot imagines that Ah

25:08

Robert play by Nicholas Brown. Ah

25:10

is seeing a therapist. You think

25:12

at any point in the process

25:15

in her imagination, the therapist would

25:17

be played by Harrison Ford. I'm

25:20

like as is shrinking character specifically I mean

25:22

I would be grace ours we are to

25:25

a drive over to get the costume. And

25:28

that when that character of Robert Sauce shrinking

25:30

he was disappointed. And Harrison Ford for playing

25:32

a character was not super cool. Oh that's

25:35

a little cool cause he doesn't care about

25:37

anybody for anything. Sideline: Room. The

25:39

script went out to Harrison easily. As

25:42

long as home pay for my weed or he's

25:44

been delivered a said i do this Alyssa should

25:46

I do this movie that the is His longtime

25:48

romantic partner Calista Flockhart said i you this shit

25:50

i any what know and are going to and

25:53

they went back to bed. Probably yeah. Ah,

25:56

Ok, well that's a satisfactory answer now.

26:00

The little less and less like up some

26:02

says yeah, I've I believe I've told my

26:04

Harrison Ford story before And this podcast right?

26:06

Ah, I don't know. maybe I'm in love

26:08

to hear in him. And when A When

26:10

I were to Barnes Noble many years ago

26:13

as as a as a young lad this

26:15

was in the year. This is all the

26:17

way back in the year two thousand and

26:19

two twenty years ago when I went to

26:21

the Barnes Noble Chelsea in Manhattan. don't look

26:23

for it, it's not there anymore. It closed

26:25

down. I don't know what that spaces these

26:27

days. Ah but when one day Harrison Ford

26:29

came in ah to I guess check out

26:31

the place to see if it was cool

26:33

enough or seal enough for him and Calista

26:35

Flockhart to do their. Holiday shopping and of

26:37

the when can get mobbed by it's all

26:39

their fans it pass muster or past mustard

26:42

if it was a squeeze tubes and he

26:44

and Calista Flockhart came in and I worked

26:46

at the information desk at the time is

26:48

my job to go get books from different

26:50

parts of store. And. I felt bad.

26:52

Still, they seem ice. By coincidence always had

26:54

to go through whatever section they were in

26:56

at that moment to get to are going.

26:58

It was not me being a doctor saw

27:00

her at all and I overheard the following

27:02

a conversation when they were in the poetry

27:04

section which would have an appropriate if you're

27:06

being a doctor stalker to the movie were

27:08

talking about cat person then they to. Yeah

27:10

but I wasn't and this is the conversation

27:12

I heard while they were in the Poetry

27:14

Sex on the Barnes Noble. I heard Calista

27:16

Flockhart say. You. Don't read poetry and

27:19

Harrison Ford said short yeah sure I do.

27:21

I read poetry. it's and I thought to

27:23

myself even Han Solo has the same conversation

27:25

with his girlfriend says that offer our guys

27:27

with their girls essence. Of.

27:32

Now. ah there is a adores

27:34

indiana jones whatever carefree one meter from are

27:36

high you are you want me to i

27:38

was entering i was dubious about these centralism

27:40

of this conversation that you claim move is

27:42

universal that was every loading go man her

27:44

family were very same got an email romantic

27:46

partner since the beginning of times adam had

27:49

it with eve and i'm not and with

27:51

nefertiti all of them suarez the as mentioned

27:53

on the podcast six not care for terry's

27:55

as a audrey hi lana the a lot

27:57

of android is a hard for you that

27:59

i Oh well. Then

28:02

I guess I know who wears the pants in

28:04

that family. Oh sure. I mean

28:06

for poetry would be like pants a lot of

28:08

the time. I mean. Yeah. Because

28:11

otherwise. Except for who does the pants in

28:13

those families? Like pants.

28:17

Like panting. Panting like a dog. Yeah. Like panting.

28:19

Is that in a dog sound? Probably the

28:22

cats. Yeah that actually makes

28:24

sense. How ironic that the cats are making

28:26

the dog sounds. Yeah. These cats

28:28

are cats. Yeah. We love them. So we're

28:30

talking about Harrison Ford here. Now Nicholas

28:33

Braun's character uses Harrison Ford in

28:35

many of his movies as a

28:37

role model for what he, how

28:39

he should behave romantically. Can

28:42

you guys answer what Harrison Ford character

28:44

would be a good role model for

28:46

a man to follow? Not

28:50

necessarily just romantically. We could talk about in

28:52

life in general. I mean it seems like

28:54

in the fugitive before his

28:57

wife passes away they had a good

28:59

relationship. He's so devoted to

29:02

her and declaring his name. But to her.

29:04

He's persistent. He's very persistent. He doesn't give

29:06

up. Tracks down the killer. And in the

29:08

middle of all of that he still has

29:10

the time to save a

29:12

young boy at the hospital who's been diagnosed

29:14

incorrectly. So. And he's also

29:16

immune to jumping off of really high

29:18

heights into water. That doesn't hurt him.

29:20

That's a superpower. That is one superpower

29:22

that nobody knew about until he was

29:24

put in that situation. Yeah. That's

29:27

a pretty good one. You guys got anything you got

29:29

any. And he's a doctor. But regarding Henry

29:31

like once he relearns how to be a

29:33

human, once he forgets that he was like

29:35

a terrible person and becomes a good person.

29:38

That's a good one. I wouldn't kick that guy

29:40

out of my life. I

29:43

mean you got to put in a lot of effort

29:45

up top. You know sort of like rebuilding Henry. But

29:48

yeah. Rebuilding Henry was the prequel

29:51

right. Yeah. Regarding

29:53

rebuilding. Yeah. I

29:55

guess Rick Deckard he really

29:57

is able to process the fact that he's a robot.

30:00

pretty well, you know, and

30:02

that's a big, that's a big blow to the psyche. It's

30:04

hard to get over that. And yet he's able to do

30:06

it. And I, you know, I admire him for that, I

30:08

guess. Also, he wears a trench coat real well. He

30:11

looks super cool. Super cool, I mean,

30:13

he's a tool of oppression. That's not great. That's

30:15

not cool. Well, what about like working girl? Well,

30:18

no, he changes clothes in front of his staff.

30:20

That's not cool. Let's

30:22

see, what about, does he ever

30:24

play a character who is nice

30:26

to people? I mean, Henry after

30:28

the ice cream. This

30:31

isn't a movie, but remember, didn't he like

30:33

save someone when he was a pilot?

30:36

Yeah, he did do that. In real life,

30:38

that's true. Okay, so Harrison. The real Harrison.

30:41

The real guy seems like he's sort of grumpy,

30:43

but like, you know, he's also kind of like

30:45

a funny stoned guy. He's

30:47

pretty friendly if you're not bothering him.

30:49

I have, so wait, quick story. It

30:51

didn't happen to me. It happened to my

30:53

very good friend, but my friend was working

30:56

a temp job on the Upper West Side.

30:59

So he was, you

31:01

know, he didn't usually get off at the subway

31:03

stop, but then he was regularly getting off it for

31:05

a week. And every

31:07

day for the first three days he

31:09

was working this temp job, he passed

31:11

Harrison Ford when he was getting

31:13

out of the subway. And on the fourth day, Harrison

31:16

Ford looked at him and said, birds

31:19

of a feather. And just kept walking.

31:23

That's like a pretty cool guy, right? That's

31:25

pretty cool. I like that. Sort of like

31:27

semi enigmatic, just as he has. It's also

31:29

good double as a like, I know you're

31:32

following me. Stop, you know, I don't

31:34

know if he meant it that way. That's not the

31:36

vibe I got. Shout out to Rob Cudhoe, he's

31:38

listening somewhere. That's his story. That is a

31:40

good story. I think that is cool. And he

31:43

was president at once, but we don't know about his policies. It's

31:47

possible that even though he's very good at getting guys

31:49

off his plane, that maybe he also does some bad

31:51

stuff. It's mostly

31:53

throwing terrorists off planes. He's like, get off

31:55

my plane. And the audience goes, yeah. And

31:58

he goes, and we've got to outlaw. gay

32:00

marriage at the national level and they're like, oh, okay.

32:05

Um, okay. To cut entitlement spending and

32:07

welfare spending for our military buildup. No,

32:10

no, president Ford. Don't do that. So

32:13

second president Ford. Yeah. I was just thinking that

32:15

that's true. Yeah. I mean, in the movie is

32:17

not present for you. He

32:20

isn't. Is he, is he

32:22

president Richard Kimball? Yeah. Yeah.

32:25

His story of being unjustly accused of his

32:28

wife's murder really captured the nation's attention. I

32:30

think he could run. I

32:32

think he can run really well. Have you

32:34

seen the fugitive? That movie is him running,

32:36

running through the streets of Chicago. Yeah.

32:39

Those are not easy streets to run through. You

32:41

want to leave her at one point. One

32:43

of the highlights. Actually, I ran the Chicago

32:46

marathon and that's one of the easiest

32:48

marathons to run very flat. Oh,

32:51

that makes a lot of sense. But what if you're

32:53

being chased by timely Jones? I guess it makes it

32:55

easier to run to be honest. Wait, yeah. You've motivation.

32:57

Yeah. Really motivating. Also, doesn't he

33:00

have one leg? Wait,

33:04

in, in a lungs of dove, was he

33:06

the one who got his leg amputated or

33:08

was it? Uh, it would be the one

33:10

to know that I don't remember. It's been so long since

33:12

I saw him. Let me wait. Let me text Larry McMurtry.

33:18

He's not responding. It's

33:21

truly, wait, I got the last picture show. Okay.

33:27

One of the highlights of the cat person

33:29

episode for me was the moment when all

33:31

three of you managed to call out movies

33:33

that happened to be released in 1994. I

33:37

was very impressed by that. So on

33:40

the subject of 1994, I wanted

33:42

to know if you could guess what the

33:44

top domestic box office movie of 1994 was.

33:48

Since you're all experts at 1994. Uh,

33:52

we said the year

33:54

of the Lion King. Just

33:56

was lying. Dan got number one. Okay.

33:58

You guys. You guys have a chance

34:01

to get anything in the top five. Number

34:03

one is Lion King. Forrest

34:05

Gump, right? Number two, baby.

34:07

Wow. It's

34:09

a movie. The pressure's really on. There was a time

34:12

when Forrest Gump was the number two, a movie like

34:14

Forrest Gump was the number two movie in the country.

34:16

Yeah. That would be, if you,

34:18

I mean, regardless of the quality or not quality of

34:20

Forrest Gump, there are things I like about it, things

34:22

I don't like about it. A movie about a guy

34:24

who just happens to live through events in the 60s

34:26

and 70s, and people are like, we love this movie.

34:28

And now that would be, I guess it would be

34:30

like a prestige TV series that goes on for 10

34:33

seasons or something like that. Yeah, everybody would love it.

34:36

You got anything, Hal? In the movies. So was

34:39

Armageddon later? Was Armageddon like,

34:41

yeah. And Independence

34:43

Day was later, right? Was that

34:45

1995? Listen

34:49

to a couple of Griffin Newmans over here. Okay, I

34:51

mean, we did pretty good. You guys did pretty good.

34:54

You got the top two. The rest of the top

34:56

five is True Lies. The

34:59

Santa Claus. Oh. And

35:01

The Flintstones. Wow. Oh,

35:03

I wouldn't have gotten it. I didn't

35:06

realize The Flintstones was number five. They

35:08

didn't make it. The live action one?

35:10

The live action. And our boy, Harry

35:12

Ford, brings up number six, Clear and

35:15

Present Danger. Danger. Okay.

35:18

Clear and Present Danger. Stayin' all together

35:21

with me, folks. Danger. Dan's

35:23

favorite movie in 1994, Speed, came out, it

35:26

came in at number seven. Not

35:28

bad. Not

35:30

bad. I guess. Okay. So

35:33

that was top box office. Can

35:36

you guys name some of the, it

35:38

was also a big year for the Oscars.

35:40

Have you guys ever heard of the Oscars?

35:42

We're kind of in the award season here,

35:44

here at the Flophouse. So. There

35:46

we are. Can you guess some of the,

35:50

let's say, Best Actor winner?

35:52

Now wait. Tom Hanks, wasn't it?

35:56

Yeah, I was gonna ask whether this is for

35:58

films that came out that, 94 or

36:00

you're talking about the previous year from the

36:03

previous year I tricked Philadelphia

36:10

right That was when

36:12

Tom Hanks won back-to-back best actor Oscars right

36:14

for Philadelphia and far scum But was it

36:16

to Schindler's list win for best picture that

36:19

year? No

36:21

Schindler's list. Yeah one for actual

36:23

1994. Yep Hmm

36:27

The best picture winner for the year

36:29

previous which is It

36:36

was Schindler's list you're right Because

36:39

93 was the year that Steven Spielberg had both

36:41

Jurassic Park and Schindler's list which is amazing Yeah,

36:44

amazing two movies have come out in the same

36:46

year because they're so similar When

36:48

you could just write a list and win

36:50

an Oscar Now

36:55

we got a red hole script I

36:59

Dialogue in them. Yeah guys and based

37:01

on what we've been talking about I

37:04

would argue the majority of this cat person podcast.

37:07

Can you guess who was the winner of actor

37:09

in a supporting role? Hmm

37:15

For movies from 1990 Denzel Washington, no What

37:19

have we been talking about most of this part

37:22

Harrison Ford? The

37:24

one with Tommy Lee Jones Tommy Lee Jones That's

37:29

right We got that

37:31

we got there eventually do a TLJ Tommy

37:33

Lee Jones. Yeah, I did guess

37:35

babes before we got Back

37:44

for another game, you know it what's

37:46

going on? Just one more week

37:48

till max on drive Hard

37:50

to believe it's been a heck of a year

37:52

since the last one. We're now a work-around

37:55

co-op We raised $50,000 for

37:57

charity last year and we've

37:59

added a bunch of awesome new shows. But

38:01

I think we're ready to do it again.

38:04

Absolutely. Lovely new gifts are lined

38:06

up, the episodes will be amazing,

38:09

and wait till everyone hears the

38:11

bonus content. Yeah, plus they know to go

38:13

to maximumfun.org slash newsletter so

38:15

they're getting all the news. Oh, like that

38:17

Meetup Day is on Thursday March 21st. Then

38:20

what's bothering you? Me? Oh,

38:23

nothing. We're all set for Max

38:25

Fun Drive to start on Monday March

38:27

18th. I just didn't want you to

38:30

see this coming. Most

38:32

of the plants humans eat are

38:34

technically grass. Most of the

38:36

asphalt we drive on is almost

38:38

a liquid. The formula of

38:40

WD-40 is San Diego's

38:43

greatest secrets. Zippers were

38:45

invented by a Swedish immigrant

38:47

love story. On the podcast,

38:49

secretly incredibly fascinating, we explore this

38:51

type of amazing stuff. Stuff

38:54

about ordinary topics like cabbage

38:56

and batteries and socks. Topics

38:59

you'd never expect to be the

39:01

title of the podcast. Secretly incredibly

39:03

fascinating. Find us by searching

39:05

for the word secretly in your

39:07

podcast app. And at

39:10

maximumfun.org. Before

39:13

we move on, I'm breaking in yet again to

39:16

say a little bit about Max Fun Drive.

39:18

I'm gonna focus on the bonus content. Max

39:21

Fun has a library full of

39:23

bonus content you can enjoy from all your favorite

39:25

Max Fun shows. And it's gotten really big over the

39:27

years. You can get access to the

39:29

entire library of bonus content for every single Max

39:31

Fun show when you join it just $5 a

39:33

month or more. If you're

39:35

thinking strictly about value, hey, that's

39:38

a great value. You might

39:40

be supporting some creators on platforms like Patreon. That's

39:42

great. We have chosen to partner with

39:44

Max Fun because being in this community helps us

39:46

share the fundraising. We can ask you

39:48

for money less frequently, but more

39:51

energy into making a show that you love. But sometimes

39:54

I might see complaints that, oh, if this or

39:56

that shows on Patreon you get more bonus content.

39:58

I understand where that mindset comes from. capitalism

40:00

has poisoned our brains into

40:02

thinking that everything is transactional.

40:05

But look, we take stuff that might normally be

40:07

paywalled. We give it away for free upfront

40:09

in the hopes that you'll kick us a tip to

40:12

support us. And then the bonus content we

40:14

do give us a little extra thank you that

40:16

we hope you appreciate and we hope you appreciate

40:19

this model as well. We're excited for

40:21

this year's bonus content. As mentioned on

40:23

day one, there's access to

40:25

all of the bonus episodes we've made for

40:27

previous years, including, for

40:30

instance, some RPG shows where we

40:33

played cartoon dogs. Stuart

40:35

ran us through a little adventure.

40:38

Yeah, it was a little adventure. A little adventure. It

40:41

was an awful big adventure. We got a big adventure on

40:43

there too. Yeah. Plus

40:46

you'll get this year's, our

40:49

first bonus show for this year is our

40:51

live show from Los Angeles, where we talked about 1997's Spawn.

40:55

The movie that kicked off the superhero craze.

40:57

Uh-huh. The movie, dare say

40:59

it, responsible for all superhero movies

41:02

afterwards. Prove us wrong.

41:05

But that's not all we're going to

41:07

do later in the year. We're going

41:09

to drop these when we can. A miniseries

41:11

on a schlock director, sort of a check,

41:14

if you will, where we're going to talk about some

41:17

of the films of great and that works better written

41:19

than it does set out. Check. I

41:22

don't like it. We previously touched

41:24

on this director in the main

41:26

feed in our first Gillian Flynn episode, where

41:28

we discussed the mutant cat movie uninvited, but

41:30

we're going to do a deeper dive. We'll

41:34

discuss the 80s sex comedy joysticks, the

41:37

90s sexy dance movie, the forbidden dance,

41:40

and the later in the 90s

41:42

sci-fi movie star games featuring inexplicably

41:44

Tony Curtis. And

41:47

highlights on the filmography of great

41:49

and Clark. Yes. Yes. Um,

41:52

on top of that, just wanted to

41:54

mention in passing, we have teamed with

41:56

stage pilot yet again to do some

41:58

upcoming video streams. of some of

42:00

our live shows. We taped two shows at Vitiate's,

42:04

one of which had Hallie in it, who's

42:07

on obviously this episode. These are

42:09

beautifully produced, multi-camera tapings. They've got

42:11

professional lighting and editing. I've

42:14

seen the first one, it's really gorgeous. I really

42:16

love the way these shows look, makes me feel

42:18

like a big shot. It's almost as good as

42:20

being in the room. I know. And

42:24

we've set it up so Max Fund members get a 33% ticket discount

42:27

on all our upcoming stage pilot shows. As

42:30

an extra member, thank you. So that's just

42:33

one more benefit of being a member. Will

42:35

you please join us as a member? Think

42:38

of how many shitty streaming

42:41

services you likely subscribe to

42:43

unthinkingly. They pile up and

42:45

they're all getting worse and worse over the years. Then

42:47

think about the consistent place our

42:50

show and other Max Fund shows have had in

42:52

your life, giving you lasting company and

42:54

how little we ask in comparison. We

42:57

can only keep doing our show with your help. So if

42:59

you can, please pledge your

43:01

support at

43:03

maximumfund.org/join. So

43:05

there's a little blaster in the past with us focusing on 1994,

43:08

the year that is on everybody's

43:11

lips. Hollywood's greatest year. Sure,

43:13

yeah. No, there's another one. I

43:16

was 12, still a preteen.

43:20

I don't like that. What was that? What? What's

43:23

that in point? Well,

43:25

let's just say the cat person

43:28

might be interested. I'm

43:30

back to the story. I will say this, in defense

43:33

of the cat person, he is

43:35

interested in a 20 year old woman.

43:37

She is of legal age. There's no

43:39

implication that he's a pedophile. Not legal

43:41

drinking age. That's fair,

43:44

good point, good point. A 20 year

43:46

old woman that he believes is slightly

43:48

older. At least, right? Yeah,

43:50

he certainly likes that she exudes

43:52

youth and the, but

43:55

not childhood. Yeah, guess who else exudes

43:57

youth. 12

44:00

year old. Don't like it. No,

44:04

don't like it. I

44:06

like the question even less. There's

44:09

a point of contention, specifically one

44:11

of Elliot's contentions with this movie,

44:14

Cat version, that it featured too many needle drops.

44:17

And what I would like to be like your

44:19

take on is, what's the difference between a needle

44:21

drop and just a song? That

44:24

was my question. I asked before we

44:26

started recording, I think. I still don't

44:28

understand. I

44:30

don't. Well, at

44:33

first I was going to say I don't think that

44:35

there necessarily is one.

44:37

I think that they're used

44:39

often just interchangeably. But

44:42

maybe I would say if I was pressed that like

44:45

a song is like a member. You

44:50

know, sometimes there's just like a song sort of

44:52

on the soundtrack that like the film doesn't make

44:54

a big deal out of. It's

44:56

just like whether diegetic or not. It's just like

44:59

there. Whereas a

45:02

needle drop maybe underlines a

45:04

moment more like

45:06

to to bring

45:08

up one that, you

45:10

know, I know, bothered some people didn't

45:13

bother me particularly, but I get

45:15

what it is. It Don't

45:17

Bother Me, the song from the end of Nashville. No,

45:21

like in like Captain Marvel when Just

45:23

A Girl plays during

45:26

the big fight at the end. Like that's like very

45:28

much like a needle drop, I would say. People

45:30

had problems with Captain Marvel? Yeah.

45:34

I'm sure all for rational good

45:36

reasons that have no underpinnings of anything

45:39

else. Yeah. Yeah. I think

45:41

needle drop not being necessarily a technical

45:43

or scientific term is kind of messy, but I

45:45

think for me it's when a pop song is

45:48

used as punctuation either to

45:50

like be like something's happening or

45:52

to like let's dance and kind of underline

45:54

and make really obvious a thing. Often I

45:57

mean the needle droppiest movie is Suicide. squad

45:59

the first one where often the songs are

46:01

not even related to what's going on on

46:03

screen. It's literally just new shot, new pop

46:06

song, new shot, new pop song. And so

46:08

there are a couple scenes in Cap

46:10

Person where it just felt like the music, it was like

46:12

as soon as it cut to a new scene a new pop song started

46:15

and then as soon as that

46:17

scene was over that song stopped and another one started. It

46:19

felt very artificial to me. So for

46:22

instance the use of Gimme More by

46:24

Britney Spears would be a needle drop

46:26

but what about the scene that follows

46:28

shortly after in the with

46:30

the the firearms store, the self-defense

46:32

store where in the background you

46:35

hear the song, damn I

46:38

wish I was your lover playing.

46:40

Is that a needle drop? I

46:42

don't remember the scene well enough

46:45

to be honest. So the answer

46:47

means no. The answer means no.

46:49

Is it playing in the

46:52

background in the store or is it playing in

46:54

the background in the store? If

46:57

it's in the store, so this is I'm also gonna

46:59

make it a distinction from a needle drop if it

47:01

is diegetic music. If it's music that is organic to

47:03

the scene coming from a source in the scene I

47:06

don't think of it as a needle drop. Like when

47:08

he puts on his make out mix or his sex

47:10

mix you know when she goes to his house that

47:12

doesn't feel like a needle drop to me. But when

47:14

it is non diegetic if it's not within the scene

47:17

it feels like a needle drop to me. Sex mix

47:19

is the worst kind of check mix. So you make

47:21

it. It's just so messy. What a fruit. I mean

47:23

to be fact fair, I've never been a fan of

47:25

check mix because it's like here's two things you like

47:27

and three things you don't. Find the stuff you like in

47:30

it. But if there's some sex hidden in there maybe it's

47:32

worth the hunt. I don't know. Interesting.

47:36

I love check mix just for the record. What

47:38

is it about check mix that you like? So

47:40

salty. You don't like that

47:42

much salt in your drink. I know because

47:44

I'm drinking but when I'm eating. Yeah

47:47

that's complex. Just

47:50

layers. Like an

47:52

onion. Like a salty onion. So

47:54

real quick since we're

47:56

talking about music and movies favorite

47:59

soundtracks or soundtrack CDs that

48:01

you've owned? Or

48:04

favorite score? That's the thing, I have

48:07

owned more score CDs than

48:10

soundtrack CDs, but like... It's

48:13

Elliott. Yeah, and this is me we're talking

48:15

to, but like I've owned a number of any or more Conays

48:17

scores, and I really like the one for The Good, The Bad,

48:19

and The Ugly I Love. I'm

48:21

a big fan of Jay Goldsmith's score for

48:23

The Planet of the Apes, you know? And

48:26

I had those, but I never had a lot of them

48:28

and I'm a huge fan of the score for Chopping Mall.

48:30

We've all talked about that. We all love scores. I'm tired

48:33

of hearing you talk about the score for Chopping Mall.

48:35

I was a big fan of the score

48:37

for Untamed Heart, the Marissa Tomei movie, where

48:39

Christian Bale gets a baboon heart. Yeah,

48:43

I know the plot line of Untamed

48:45

Heart. Okay. Is that Christian

48:47

Bale? No, it's Christian Bale. No,

48:49

sorry, Christian Blader. Okay, that's what I was like. Christian

48:52

Bale plays the heart. That

48:54

sounds like too high class of Christian for this

48:56

movie. No. The

49:00

first one that came to mind is the high fidelity

49:02

soundtrack. I mean, I'm also a child of the

49:05

90s, so I had Pulp

49:08

Fiction and Trainspotting and stuff like that.

49:10

The Crow, Judgment Night. Sure. Power

49:14

Records. I thought that was

49:16

a good one. Now that I'm a

49:18

middle-aged man who acquired a

49:20

turntable a few years back. Speed. American

49:24

Werewolf in Paris. I'm

49:27

gonna, as a middle-aged man,

49:29

I'm gonna bring up a movie that is all but forgotten.

49:32

But there's a movie called FM that

49:35

is just like a double album of album-oriented

49:37

rock from the 70s that I'm

49:39

like, I wouldn't want these

49:42

individual records, but as a soundtrack, I

49:44

love it. Speaking

49:46

of soundtracks, Speaking of Forrest

49:48

Gump, talk about an epic soundtrack.

49:50

Yeah, that was a big sound track. That was

49:52

a double album soundtrack that was in Rotation a

49:54

Laudit at my house growing up. Speed popular. All

49:56

the classic rock that my parents loved to tell

49:58

me was better than the. music that came

50:01

before or after it. Exactly. It

50:03

was the American graffiti

50:05

or big chill soundtrack of it

50:07

today. Yeah. And Elliott hears

50:09

this and storms off in a huff

50:11

wearing his Janko jeans with his chain

50:14

wallet dragging on the floor. He

50:16

goes off to listen to his slipknot. Yeah.

50:19

I think the audience understands pretty clearly that I'm

50:21

a huge new metal and slipknot fan. Yeah. I

50:23

love it. Yeah. You're a

50:25

freak out of leash and we love that about

50:28

you. So speaking of frids on leashes,

50:30

I just, my favorite thing that I will say,

50:32

I do like slipknot for giving us the inspiration

50:34

for the Conan O'Brien bit, the slipknots when it's

50:36

just, uh, I forgot who it was. John Glazer

50:38

and the two other guys, they just, there's peanut

50:40

shells all over the ground and they're just slipping

50:43

on them. And

50:45

they sing a song about how they're the slipknots. Yeah.

50:47

So there's a scene in cat person where

50:50

Margo, uh, has a little, like a little

50:52

bit of a date, uh, in her,

50:54

uh, college classroom, where,

50:56

where Robert brings her

50:58

some fruity pebbles, a

51:01

specific type of fruity pebbles and,

51:03

uh, other snacks from seven 11, which

51:05

by the way, when I was in Australia,

51:07

I heard a commercial, a radio commercial for

51:09

seven 11, which pitched it as like sick

51:12

of having leftovers for lunch. You

51:14

can just go to seven 11. And I'm like, it's

51:16

like 12 year olds only. You

51:22

can get food at seven 11. You can get

51:24

hot dogs. You can get hot dogs and pretzel

51:26

rolls on them. I don't

51:28

know. One of those sandwiches that's on that

51:30

like heater tray that you're like, I don't

51:32

know. What is this? I guess I'm going,

51:34

I'm showing my food snobbery. If

51:36

you've never traveled on Christmas and had to figure

51:39

out what you're going to eat for dinner from

51:41

a convenience store, then you're living a better life.

51:43

I mean, I've done it. I'm not going to be

51:45

drawn in by. Yeah. Advertising is going

51:47

to be like, you know what? I am going to have lunch

51:49

at seven 11. Like if you're having

51:51

lunch at seven 11, that is a choice made

51:54

out of necessity. Yeah. Cause it's

51:56

only leftovers. Otherwise. I heard in

51:58

Japan they have fresh sushi. 7-elevens

52:00

and it's and they have to change it

52:03

out every hour. Oh, wow. Listeners. Listeners chime

52:05

in let us know listeners to the

52:07

peach pit So if somebody was trying

52:09

to impress a you much if somebody

52:11

was trying to Set

52:14

up a green flag in the old Dayton world

52:17

what Breakfast cereal would they

52:19

bring to you as a treat? It

52:22

shows that they understand you or get just

52:24

get what you're craving What

52:28

breakfast cereal somebody bring you know that

52:30

any breakfast cereal would make me feel

52:32

understood since it's not particularly a Thing

52:35

I I mean, there's one breakfast cereal

52:37

that I like it is the most boring

52:39

one It is it's called morning out crunch

52:41

and it is it's basically replacement for a

52:43

quick or oat squares Which which

52:45

got too sweet for me and my wife does get it

52:47

for me frequently She knows I like to have a breakfast

52:49

and snack on it. So she does understand me and I

52:52

married the right lady. Sorry ladies I Like

52:56

oh go on Ali. I Would

52:59

say Golden Grahams or check

53:01

this one wheat checks. I

53:04

think we checks it or Kid

53:07

tested mother proof Up

53:10

the roof of my mouth too much. I have

53:12

a sense of upper mouth, you know,

53:14

I actually love grape nuts You can't eat

53:16

grape. No, but love grape. No, they're

53:18

so good when they get good and soggy Uh-huh,

53:21

and it's cut like it's kind of

53:23

gross, but I think that's because I

53:25

enjoy I enjoy a little like controlled

53:27

discomfort Maybe if

53:29

my prospective lover got me captain crunch, which I haven't

53:32

had a long time, but then fed it to me

53:34

So my hands don't get sticky They

53:38

will get extra points for me, okay Somebody

53:41

start drawing Dan feeding out I

53:46

like Corn checks because they

53:48

kind of taste like You

53:50

know like a tortilla chip that

53:53

I like but without the salt Crispix

53:58

Are very good. Yeah, you get that You got the

54:00

corn, you got the rice. I also, if I want

54:02

a little treat, maybe some tiny bunches of

54:04

oats, I like. That's,

54:06

I call it the best. Bunches of oats in

54:09

this economy? You

54:11

just get one oat. One

54:13

oat, no honey, sorry. Now

54:18

there's a moment in the movie where

54:20

they're talking about the movies they've seen

54:22

the most, Margo and Robert. Robert, of

54:25

course, has watched Empire Strikes Back a

54:27

zillion times. Margo's favorite movie, most watched

54:29

movie, is Spirited Away, and we all

54:31

kind of agree that Spirited

54:33

Away feels like a movie that he

54:35

would have seen. Yeah. Yeah.

54:37

My guess is he should have started

54:40

telling her facts about Miyazaki as if

54:42

he didn't know anything about it. Yeah,

54:44

yeah, Miyazaki, Miyazaki, Miyazaki's plain.

54:47

And he has her, he has her kind of, he

54:51

has her kind of pitched as a, somebody

54:53

who loves foreign films, maybe

54:55

cerebral films. So what? Or cerebral

54:57

films if the X-Men are in

54:59

them. Yep, that's true, yep.

55:03

So what movie should she

55:05

have said is her most watched movie to

55:07

kind of fit that bill a little better

55:10

and also be a movie that

55:12

he hasn't seen, believably?

55:16

Or, oh, so we're rewriting Cat Person. What

55:18

her favorite movie is, yeah, we're rewriting Cat

55:20

Person. Let

55:22

me be like an Agnes Varda movie. That would

55:25

be, that would work. I

55:27

really love, probably I've seen one thing, the

55:29

other doesn't more times than the other. And

55:31

he'd be like, I don't know what that

55:33

is. She's like, well, you know, it's a

55:35

foreign movie. Oh, you like subtitled stuff. Oh,

55:37

forget about, I just like stuff with Han

55:39

Solo shooting people and kissing babies. Let

55:42

me show you my script. She

55:44

really loves certified copy. What

55:47

was that movie like fucking Olna? Do

55:50

you guys remember? I don't

55:52

remember that. Fucking Amol. Is

55:54

that what it was called? It's

55:56

like a Swedish movie, I think. Yeah, I

55:58

think that that's the one. You're thinking

56:00

of it's also it's got another

56:02

American title that yes less exciting.

56:04

Yeah that one or

56:08

My life is a dog my life is a dog I

56:14

Or I could see her really like an Amelie, which

56:16

is again was a big release But yeah, but I

56:18

could see that that would show me love was the

56:20

American title Swedish

56:22

title, I mean, I don't know how to pronounce

56:25

it and try it try it best try it

56:27

No, it's a m a l

56:29

with little like, you

56:31

know fucking Alma, right? Uh-huh

56:34

I probably Yeah,

56:37

I mean like that or you know what or like worst person

56:39

in the world Yes,

56:41

that's how I love you. I come

56:43

true. Yeah, one that she relates to

56:45

you know I actually I watch reprise

56:47

on my flight back and cried about

56:50

what a good movie I

56:52

got like if I don't

56:54

know what that director has with torturing Anders

56:56

Danielson lie, but like every fucking movie this

56:58

dude's in you like, oh, I feel bad

57:01

for him This guy

57:03

I was gonna say maybe something like in the mood

57:05

for love Yeah,

57:07

another movie I watched on my flight Which

57:10

were chucking Express I could see

57:12

that. Yeah necrophilia Or

57:16

still you mentioned chopping mall earlier I Mean

57:23

it was snubbed for best score when it came out.

57:25

She of course prefers the original title though kill bots

57:31

Foreign movies I'm really big on like Jell-o like

57:33

have you seen the bird with the crystal plumage

57:35

and he'd be like what? What

57:37

that kind of stuff? Yeah Okay.

57:40

Now you like Jell-o. No, I

57:42

do but I meant the movie is the time

57:44

movies Jell-o movies Understand Italian movies.

57:47

So like you'll push the you know, no

57:51

Okay, so that's the first that's the first one like springs to

57:53

his mind You

57:58

mean like life is beautiful like that no Not

58:00

that one. Uh-huh. Yep, nope.

58:03

Keep going. Okay, so as I mentioned- You

58:05

mean like Big Night? No, it's not an

58:07

Italian movie. They are Italian Americans in the

58:09

film. Maybe they're eating the Italian movie too.

58:11

Love your mama? Maybe like Love Your Mama?

58:13

Super Mario Brothers? I literally would say it's

58:15

an Italian movie, like Super Mario. Yeah. So

58:19

as I mentioned, I was not on the

58:21

episode converse. But you've somehow managed to

58:23

be on it. I've somehow managed to. And

58:25

in fact, I will continue this because

58:28

now I will do my final

58:30

judgment. Oh, cool. Wow.

58:33

I'm gonna say- So George Lucas take

58:35

this and insert it into the episode, I guess.

58:38

Right, right, with a fucking speeder flying behind me

58:40

and a couple of robots smoking death. Yeah, I

58:42

kind of love this. I'm curious. A

58:45

robot that flies over and goes, uh-oh, and then

58:47

flies away. So

58:50

watching this movie, I,

58:52

on a plane, was a somewhat uncomfortable experience, which

58:54

I think is kind of what they're trying to

58:56

go for. I was kind of

58:58

glad that we weren't doing it, just the three

59:00

of us dudes together talking about it. And

59:04

I didn't- listening to

59:06

the episode, I feel like I liked it

59:08

more and it was- I got a

59:13

little more depth from the

59:15

three of you. I will say

59:17

that it feels like the- one of the

59:20

primary themes of the movie, at least in

59:22

the first, you know,

59:24

two thirds, which is what, the majority of

59:26

the short story is this, like the fear

59:28

of some- the fear of a woman in

59:30

a dating situation

59:32

when, you know, the communication is

59:34

blurry and there's just like a

59:37

general kind of threat element. And

59:39

then it feels weird that the

59:41

movie then in the final act

59:44

makes her concerns the- like her

59:46

concerns and fears are what lead her to

59:49

getting trapped in a house on fire. Like

59:52

it feels like it undercuts the message of

59:54

like, women trust your intuition. Cause in this

59:56

case they're like, women, your intuition might get

59:58

you almost killed. I

1:00:01

think if it was a better movie, it would be

1:00:03

more ambiguous about what it's trying to do, and it

1:00:05

would be getting at, she has a

1:00:07

reason to be afraid, but he also has

1:00:09

a reason to be upset, and it drives

1:00:11

them both to extremes that

1:00:13

otherwise they wouldn't go to. But I feel like

1:00:16

the movie, using that Margaret Atwood quote at the

1:00:18

beginning, it so stacks the movie. It so telegraphs

1:00:20

how you're supposed to feel about it in a

1:00:22

way that I think hurts it. And there's a

1:00:24

lot of symbolism throughout,

1:00:27

like sprinkled throughout very liberally,

1:00:30

talking about those themes. But

1:00:32

I mean, I guess my final judgment is going to

1:00:34

fit with the three of you, which is like it

1:00:36

doesn't quite fit our categories. I would

1:00:39

say somewhere between bad, bad in the movie I

1:00:41

kind of liked. But

1:00:43

with that in mind, you mentioned it doesn't fit

1:00:45

the categories. What would be better

1:00:48

categories for the flop? Oh,

1:00:51

wow. Well, I

1:00:54

mean, look, the categories,

1:00:56

let's be honest, are

1:00:59

a simple way to communicate with our

1:01:01

audience, like Cisco

1:01:03

and the Ebert, both, you

1:01:06

know, neither one of them liked the idea

1:01:08

of reducing. They even didn't even have thumbs. Yeah,

1:01:10

exactly. They didn't even have like, they didn't do

1:01:12

penises, but they kind of arranged their hand around

1:01:14

it so it looked like it was a thumb.

1:01:17

Oh, okay. They didn't like reducing everything to a thumbs

1:01:19

up or thumbs down, but they knew that for

1:01:22

branding, for the good of the show, it was

1:01:24

an important thing to do. We're not even going

1:01:27

that far because we will abandon

1:01:29

our categories at

1:01:31

the first sign of danger. But I don't know. I

1:01:35

don't know that there's a category. There are

1:01:37

categories out there in the world that will

1:01:40

encompass all art that we will encounter. What about good

1:01:42

or bad or okay? I

1:01:46

mean, that wouldn't come with all of it. I

1:01:49

think I'm going to propose categories that are specific

1:01:51

for this kind of movie, which is successful

1:01:54

at what it's trying to do, unsuccessful

1:01:56

at what it's trying to do, or what it's trying to do

1:01:58

is bad. Some

1:02:01

movies are successful at what they're trying to do and what they're trying

1:02:03

to do is bad, like that sound of guy who

1:02:05

says – Sound of freedom?

1:02:08

Sound of freedom. Was that it with a guy – where

1:02:10

they were like, this guy is a hero. We're going to

1:02:12

ignore that he might also be a child trafficker and stuff

1:02:14

like that. That's apparently

1:02:16

successful is trying to do, but it's trying to

1:02:18

do is bad. There's a movie like Cat Person

1:02:20

which I think is unsuccessful at what it's trying

1:02:22

to do even though I think what

1:02:25

it's trying to do is quality. And

1:02:27

then there's movies that – they're

1:02:30

successful at what they're trying to do and it's a quality

1:02:32

thing or a not quality thing but it's still

1:02:34

fun, like

1:02:38

Jurassic Park is successful at what it's trying to do.

1:02:40

And Pulp Fiction

1:02:42

are successful at what it's trying to do. There are

1:02:44

two different kinds of movies and On Golden Pond is successful

1:02:47

at what it's trying to do, and that's a different kind

1:02:49

of movie. So I think – those are

1:02:51

categories I don't think we should necessarily use, but I'm going to pitch

1:02:53

them as substitutes for when we're dealing with a movie that doesn't fall

1:02:55

into – good, bad, or good, bad categories. Yeah.

1:03:01

I would agree that those are good

1:03:03

ways to evaluate movies in

1:03:05

general. But

1:03:08

for our podcast, which

1:03:12

has slowly drifted closer to actual film critique

1:03:14

over the years, but in a lot of

1:03:16

ways is searching

1:03:18

for that high of

1:03:20

the dumb, bad movie that is fun to watch. We

1:03:23

need to have that category in there that indicates

1:03:25

this is not successful at what it's trying to

1:03:27

do necessarily, but it is a

1:03:29

delight to experience. Well, it's like I was re-listening to

1:03:32

the – we're listening for the first time. I didn't

1:03:34

hear it before, to the Vanilla Ice

1:03:36

episode that we released, the coolest ice episode from

1:03:38

our live shows. And I'm like – the whole

1:03:40

time I'm like, yeah, this movie

1:03:42

is not successful at what it's trying to

1:03:44

do, but it's successful at doing a very

1:03:47

different thing that I enjoyed greatly. And

1:03:49

that thing is being ridiculous. So I guess

1:03:52

you know what it means. You know what it is?

1:03:54

We should take a page from Siskel and Leibert and

1:03:57

just argue with each other more. I think that's what

1:03:59

people are doing. Really good for, right? Yeah, that's what

1:04:01

they love. We should, instead of

1:04:03

being friends behind the scenes, we should not like

1:04:05

each other that much behind the scenes, but instead

1:04:07

have a show where we argue with each other

1:04:09

for years. Is that what we should do?

1:04:12

That would make me very upset. That would make

1:04:15

me sad. Dan, I've got a lot of friends.

1:04:17

I'm looking to downsides right now. Oh, we're

1:04:19

on the chopping block. The slight amount of arguing

1:04:21

that we already do, already is

1:04:23

just more than my heart can take, so. Okay, then

1:04:25

let's argue less and let's agree more. So Dan, tell

1:04:28

me how great my categories are again. Terrific,

1:04:31

amazing. Thanks. Four

1:04:33

stars. That's up or thumbs down? Thumbs

1:04:35

up. Oh, wow. To put

1:04:37

a final bow on Cat Person, we

1:04:40

have a little mini segment here called

1:04:42

What Stuart Would Have Said. Okay. Anything

1:04:45

Stuart would have said had he been on the bottom. Okay,

1:04:47

so there's a bit where you're talking about into

1:04:50

the woods. Truly the victors get to rewrite history,

1:04:52

yeah. You're talking about into

1:04:54

the woods and you say sloths live in the

1:04:56

woods. I would have said, hey you guys, but

1:04:58

in sloths voice. There's a

1:05:00

moment where Elliot mentions that. Why don't you say it

1:05:03

in his voice right now then? I

1:05:05

don't know, I feel like I'd rather people just imagine it.

1:05:08

In the moment it's easier for Stuart to make that mistake than

1:05:11

brief lands. So there's a moment where Elliot

1:05:13

mentions seeing Hope Davis on the subway many

1:05:15

times. And I feel like that's pretty thematically

1:05:18

appropriate in a movie where a man kept

1:05:20

stalking a woman and trying to set up

1:05:22

a meet cute with her. I thought that

1:05:24

was really cool of Elliot to say. I

1:05:27

would ask more about these Gump toilets.

1:05:29

What's going on there with the Gump

1:05:31

toilets? It's a brand of porta potty.

1:05:34

Okay, and it's a LA brand of porta potty.

1:05:36

I think it's national, but maybe it's just regional.

1:05:38

You see them all over the place in construction

1:05:40

sites here. Do

1:05:42

they ever put them outside of a Bubba

1:05:44

Shrimp Company? So people can see

1:05:47

the full direction. They're like, oh, so Andy

1:05:49

and Bubba must be brothers. Oh, interesting, no.

1:05:51

I mean, it's like a poop in here.

1:05:53

It's just a conjunction of Gumps or Gump

1:05:55

Junction. It happens once every thousand years. I

1:06:00

would also mention that I

1:06:02

also loved the sequence where she is in

1:06:04

the bathroom and the wallpaper has all those

1:06:06

paintings of women's faces and she kisses them.

1:06:08

And actually looks like, it

1:06:11

looks like other women

1:06:13

have kissed that same wallpaper in different places.

1:06:15

I thought that was really cool. Speaking

1:06:19

of kisses, Elliot mentioned

1:06:22

that he was very good at kissing and his

1:06:24

wife might've joked that maybe that's why he was

1:06:26

a member of the Vanciss or something. I don't

1:06:28

remember the exact situation. I was like, is that

1:06:30

how the Vanciss got their name? Do you guys

1:06:32

think they got their name because they were good

1:06:35

at kissing? They certainly thought they were

1:06:37

good at kissing. They said they were made for loving you.

1:06:40

But the corollary to that is that you

1:06:42

were made for loving them. So perhaps they're

1:06:44

only good at kissing each other and not

1:06:46

outside people who are not created for loving

1:06:49

each other. I'm guessing that there's too much.

1:06:51

That's one for the rabbi's dancer, I suppose.

1:06:53

I'm guessing there's too much tongue just based

1:06:55

on square footage of tongue in. Yeah, fair

1:06:58

point. Kiss. And

1:07:00

weirdly enough, not enough face paint. And

1:07:03

then finally, there's a moment where Elliot says,

1:07:05

the heart is the largest erogenous zone. I

1:07:08

would say, of course, what about

1:07:10

my weenis? So that

1:07:12

wraps up Cat Person. I'm glad you

1:07:14

didn't let that opportunity pass by. Now,

1:07:19

before we wrap things up here at the Peach Pit, we

1:07:23

have Halley Hagelin, star of the show

1:07:25

on here. I think it's

1:07:27

important that we do a little special Halley

1:07:29

segment, and we look at all the movies

1:07:31

that Halley, all the episodes Halley has been

1:07:33

in. What I would like you to tell,

1:07:36

I'm gonna go down the list, Halley, and I want

1:07:38

you to tell me which one is the best movie,

1:07:41

which is the worst movie, according

1:07:44

to your recollection, because some of these I have

1:07:46

no memory of. And then which one you

1:07:49

think might be the best episode. If somebody was

1:07:51

like, I wanna hear more Halley Hagelin. And

1:07:53

tell me which one you have no memory

1:07:56

of, because I'm betting very many of them. Probably

1:07:58

most of them. Okay, so I'm gonna... I'm going to

1:08:00

start at the beginning. Uh,

1:08:02

zookeeper, rock

1:08:05

of ages, upside

1:08:08

down, battle

1:08:10

of the year, temptation,

1:08:13

confessions of a marriage

1:08:16

counselor, the

1:08:18

quiet ones, that

1:08:20

awkward moment left

1:08:23

behind, Ouija, the

1:08:26

choice, the Lazarus effect,

1:08:29

50 shades

1:08:31

darker, the dark tower,

1:08:34

the wicker man, last

1:08:37

Christmas, me,

1:08:39

you madness. The

1:08:41

turning, orphan, first

1:08:44

kill, your place or

1:08:46

mine, mafia mama,

1:08:49

and now cat person. Okay.

1:08:53

So I would say the worst

1:08:55

movies were upside down and the

1:08:57

Lazarus effect. Okay. Um, I would

1:09:00

say, uh, the

1:09:02

best movies, uh,

1:09:05

were, um, that awkward

1:09:07

moment, last Christmas

1:09:11

and, um, maybe

1:09:14

just, I don't know.

1:09:17

Uh, yeah, those two, but

1:09:19

I, and I think. You know, I

1:09:22

really don't remember that well, but I would say in

1:09:25

my head that I, I just feel

1:09:27

in my soul that that zookeeper

1:09:29

episode was a good halle episode.

1:09:31

Okay. That, that are Ouija, I would say. Well, yeah,

1:09:34

I want to, yeah, if you didn't call it out,

1:09:36

I wanted to say, Audrey's a

1:09:38

big fan of halle episodes and Ouija is,

1:09:40

uh, is one that she cites as a

1:09:43

good episode. I was really, I was really

1:09:45

pulling for mafia mama to be listed in

1:09:47

one of the best movies, but you know,

1:09:49

I was going to say that one. Yes, I would

1:09:51

say, I was going to say mafia mama. I was going

1:09:54

to prod you with that at the end, but I

1:09:56

was like, I don't want to mansplain to halle about

1:09:58

what movies she likes. I actually did forget that. Yes,

1:10:00

uh mafia mama would be among my

1:10:02

favorite movies. Yeah, there's definitely a couple

1:10:04

of the rest. I don't remember. Yeah Stinkers

1:10:08

is here. There's a couple singers. Although although me

1:10:10

you madness is a is a is a Worth

1:12:03

fan of the show. I'm one of the,

1:12:06

uh, I'm one of the owners of the flophouse.

1:12:08

Oh, well the pop flophouse. Yeah. Right. And

1:12:11

the beach bed.

1:12:14

Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Now, uh, since you guys, uh,

1:12:16

were so nice to come on my show, do

1:12:18

you have any plugs? Do you have anything you'd

1:12:20

like to plug? Well, I'd like

1:12:22

to plug the max fund drive. Okay. Insert

1:12:25

that here. Yeah. Before

1:12:27

we go, just one more word about the max fund

1:12:29

drive. If you've never been a max fund member, try

1:12:31

it out at just $5 a month. Enjoy

1:12:34

the bonus content. If you're already a member

1:12:36

and you'd like to support even just a

1:12:38

little more, we'd certainly appreciate you upgrading your membership

1:12:41

or boosting it by a few dollars per month

1:12:43

or so. Um, just

1:12:45

going to remind some of the thank you gifts that

1:12:47

you can only get, uh, for the

1:12:49

two weeks of max fund drive. There's

1:12:52

our cool enamel, uh, collectible

1:12:54

pen for the flophouse

1:12:56

in which Werner Herzog is saying

1:12:58

his famous catch phrase. I'm a

1:13:01

bad wittle boy. According to us

1:13:04

on the set of fit, scrawled. Oh, many times. Uh, we'll

1:13:08

put it up on our social media accounts. Uh,

1:13:10

so you can see it, uh, see it, or

1:13:12

you can go to maximum fund.org to join or

1:13:14

upgrade your membership. You can get a picture of

1:13:16

it there as well. Other levels of

1:13:18

great gifts, like, uh, there's a chess set or

1:13:20

because it's a pledge drive, you know, there's a

1:13:22

tote bag in there. Um,

1:13:26

that's my pitch, but I want to close

1:13:28

with this. I know that not everyone who

1:13:30

enjoys the show can afford to give five

1:13:32

bucks a month. We totally get that. If

1:13:35

you're one of those people, we appreciate you

1:13:37

listening. And if you have the energy, we'd

1:13:39

love it. If you could help in other ways,

1:13:41

like spreading the word about our show to new

1:13:43

listeners. But if you love

1:13:45

the show and you can give five bucks

1:13:47

a month, becoming a member will not only

1:13:49

help us here at the flophouse. It'll

1:13:52

help those folks who enjoy the show, but

1:13:54

can't support it right now. So

1:13:56

if you join or upgrade, you're also helping a fellow

1:13:58

listener. A lot of things. of the world are shitty

1:14:00

right now. So why not put your

1:14:03

money towards something that hopefully brings joy to yourself and

1:14:05

others without all the usual

1:14:07

lousy crap that goes along with, I

1:14:09

don't know, the stuff you can get in the store. Always

1:14:13

ending positively. Classic salesmanship from

1:14:15

Dan McCoy. Shows

1:14:18

like us can exist still

1:14:20

under this model, even

1:14:23

if major advertisers don't see a profit in

1:14:25

us, but only because people

1:14:28

like you support it. We

1:14:31

can continue to make the show the way we wanna make

1:14:33

it for you to enjoy, and in return, we hope that

1:14:35

you will support the art and entertainment that you

1:14:37

enjoy, because if you don't, who

1:14:40

will? So one

1:14:42

last time, if you can, please

1:14:44

go to maximumfun.org/join to support this

1:14:47

and other shows that you love,

1:14:50

and I'll sign off by saying thank you. We

1:14:53

really appreciate the kind, giving, and

1:14:55

supportive audience that you guys that

1:14:58

allow us to do this show. Hallie?

1:15:03

I'd like to. No,

1:15:08

check out my sub stack. Yeah,

1:15:10

sure, yeah, you said it like

1:15:12

it's a joke, but that's a really good newsletter. Yeah,

1:15:14

yeah, check out my newsletter. That

1:15:17

hurts my feelings. Yeah,

1:15:20

that's great. Live on sub stack.

1:15:23

I read it immediately upon publication.

1:15:25

And I will. I

1:15:27

would also like to give a

1:15:30

special shout out to all the

1:15:32

Flophouse fans who came out for

1:15:34

the impromptu meetup I did out

1:15:36

in Melbourne. It

1:15:38

was a ton of fun, and it was

1:15:40

really nice to get to catch up with

1:15:43

some folks while I was there. And also,

1:15:45

thanks again to everybody who DM'd me recommendations

1:15:47

of restaurants and bars to hit in the

1:15:49

various towns I went to. I

1:15:52

ate and drank like a maniac, so

1:15:54

many oat flat whites, so many mezcal

1:15:56

nagronis. It's coming out my

1:15:58

pores. I'd

1:16:00

like to take a moment to say no thank you

1:16:02

to all the flophouse fans in Millburn, my hometown where

1:16:04

I was recently and no one came out to see

1:16:06

me. Maybe because I didn't tell anyone I was going

1:16:08

to be there. Yeah. Elliott

1:16:12

doesn't have the same unceasing

1:16:14

desire for adulation of fans. So

1:16:22

this Peachbit is of course

1:16:25

a flophouse podcast property. The

1:16:27

flophouse is part of the Max Fun Podcast Network. Thank you so much

1:16:29

for listening. There's a ton of other

1:16:31

great podcasts. It's part of the Max Fun Drive right now. So

1:16:34

you should definitely check out these shows and

1:16:36

support us. Our show is produced by Alex

1:16:38

Smith. He makes

1:16:41

this sound great every every week. Check it

1:16:43

out. He loves the Peachbit. And

1:16:46

yeah, so I've been Stuart Wellington. Thanks so much

1:16:49

for listening. Bye. See you.
