Doing Zardoz would require attempting to explain what happens in Zardoz.

The plots not that bad if you stay away for the whole movie, which was my problem the first 3 times I watched it. Always at someones ones house, always drunk.

Don't they usually do bad movies?

I'm with you brother, I like it too, but they've been hinting at that one for a loong time.

Also I don't think Dracula is an episode, its got a lot going for it. The only really bad part is Keanu himself.

I finally called in and suggested this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS6zbGPPL18. I've wanted them to do it for a few years but I never bothered calling it in, I just figured they'd get to it eventually what with their love of Caine.

I called in while I was pretty lit and I don't exactly remember what I said. I'm sure it's fine.

It just wasn't a very good episode, aside from the fact that I don't get why they keep bringing Halle on the show.

I like her

Isn't Watto a racist Jewish caricature, not a racist Italian caricature?

Yeah, I remember being confused that they were saying that when this episode was new. I guess they forgot the uproar about him way back when. Though accent is more stereotypically Italian I guess.

Did they run into legal issues or something? I've always wondered about that, and the same with how they stopped using episode-relevant intro songs.

They stopped with the songs because you can't use licensed material and be hosted by certain things. I think the clips were just because it was too much work for Andrew, or at least I remember reading something like that.

Is that movie the reason why the guys keep saying "Thiiiiinnnerrrrr" when they're talking about evil halloweeny things or whatever it is? (Oh god I can't remember the context)

No

I dunno they seem angry a lot. But I haven't listened to HDTGM in a while so if thats what you're comparing it to I guess I don't have a frame of reference. I do question the mental state of the guys though. I mean I've seem the vast majority of the movies they've reviewed, but I also like dumb movies so I seek them out, but inevitably one of them will say "WELL I GOTTA CONFESS GUYS I SAW THIS 4 TIMES IN THE THEATER" I mean I can certainly see why you'd see it once, or if it was a schlock horror movie you had on VHS as a kid, but so often they'll have seen it several times in the original run.

Oh man, I'm looking forward to/dreading your talk about Beowulf. It's weirdly one of my favorites.

I thought their old eps were just "locked" because they used to use intro and outro songs that they didn't have the rights to. I thought you could always get them all on the website, just not the itunes/RSS feeds.

It came out less than half a year after Phantom Menace, are we sure it's not just something in the air?

In the late nineties the air was filled with turds.

Next month they are going to watch the most racist star trek episode and their reaction should be glorious.

The weirdest thing about that episode is that there's nothing in the script that's specifically racist, but when actually made the movie they cast all black actors as the aliens and dressed them up like genies. If it had just been regular star trek fore-head aliens the episode wouldn't be remembered at all.

They don't really bring up "politics" per se as much as they just do parodies of Trump and Alex Jones now. It's not like they're typically arguing for or against particular political points. They also did plenty of parodies of Obama, Clinton, Giuliani and the Bushes over the years. I get the impression that on SA many people are totally exhausted with even hearing the word "Trump" but if that's the case then it's going to be a rough 8 years.

Good thing we won't survive 8 years

I've noticed less of those styled letters on The Flophouse lately. There seems to be more earnest movie questions and less "I dreamed about you guys " letters.

I still love The Flop House, do posters here still listen to it?

HDTGM kind of soured me when they put the old episodes behind a paywall, it was already annoying to listen to before that but jeez.

Yeah I do. I think because it only comes out every 2 weeks I still look forward to it. I stopped listening to WHM though. At some point I realized I wasn't laughing at anything they said anymore so I took a break from it.

I don't think it's gotten bad with Elliot skyping in, but I do think they can do better. MBMBAM and Greatest Gen both Skype record and they're much more seamless.

Did Dan seem drunk or was he more confused than usual this episode?
