Episode 108: Passion Play

Tag[]

"In this episode we discuss the movie where Megan Fox has wings, possibly due to Red Bull abuse—Passion Play."

A washed-up musician tries to protect an enigmatic winged woman from a merciless gangster who wants her all to himself.

The movie in which Mickey Rourke plays "a pile of mashed potatoes molded into a human form and then given a stringy wig and a hat."

25:39 - 26:45 A Mirrors-esque moment wherein Stuart appears to have completely misunderstood a key moment in the movie.

28:15 - 29:33 Excellent description of the ol' "lemon under a napkin" seduction gambit.

Some elements were almost "good-bad" but ultimately gives it a "bad-bad" (Stuart)
bad-bad (Elliott)
Marginal "good-bad" but thinks it isn't quite weird enough to fully realize its potential (Dan)

9:15–9:55 The guys switch personalities briefly (Stuart Wellington is the know-it-all and Elliott Kalan is the boring guy). Dan McCoy doesn't like it at all.

18:07–22:29 Digression in which Dan reveals that he recently watched Castle Freak, and he confirms that no ding-dong mutilation was depicted onscreen.

37:45 - 38:06 Elliott sings a Mail Bag song.

First letter is from Steve Lastnamewithheld, regarding number-based movie-naming. Daniel Craig's accent makes an appearance.
Second letter is from an unknown writer. Elliott is prompted to sing "Flop-a-Dee Doo Da." The trailer for Alex Cross is described at surreal length, and the Flop House House Cat makes an appearance.
Third letter is from "Collision", who describes running across a copy of 12 Rounds out in the wild.
Elliott sings a special introduction for the last letter.
The fourth letter is from Steven Lastnamewithheld. Steven is wondering why Stuart isn't Pervazoid #1 . Elliott gives a cogent explanation. This inexorably leads to a description of the different ways in which the guys would masturbate on an airplane.

- Stuart again describes it as the movie where a freak rips off his own ding-dong.
