    I predicted last week that Brian would come back as the Old Man...what better rivalry than between him and Sir Richard??

    Brian will have to prove the old man is altruistic. Maybe the Old Man has been fighting (not controlling) the Collectors this whole time?

     

    I was thinking this as well, considering Brian was out of the room, not knowing what happened on the podcast.

    Great episode; always good when Paul Scheer stops by any podcast.

    His cadence and his energy he brought to the show was AMAZING (going with a Memzouks here). And that Copland story... christ, nearly peed in my pants from laughing.

     

    Now if we can get the whole WDTGM crew together for an episode of Whooch and do a Whooch/HDTGM crossover (like a comic book) I'd be a happy Earwolfer!

    I think it's a misused metaphor for Elephant in the room. this is used to explain a problem that no on else wants to talk about or address. mostly it's used in A-A when people have a drinking problem that everyone see's but does nothing to try and stop it. "The Elephant in the room". The story in this movie is that Leslie Zevo should grow up and take responsibly for his fathers company. but he can't so his brother Leland Zevo is called into action to take his place. I think the reason and this is just a wild guess as to why the Elephant is floating away is it's showing that his sons problem is now floating away. That problem ie the Elephant in the room is now gone and Leslie Zevo is now running the family business. Just like daddy always wanted and so the lesson is learned. so the Elephant is floating away, symbolizing release. This movie is full of symbolism. yet i feel it's a bit misused.

     

    I kind of understand what you're getting at but I'm thinking it more the elephant monument of Leslie's father is back how Zevo Toys used to be. Free from the tryanny of making war toys and having fun and mirth. So the Elephant Monument is jovial... also could be a reference to Dumbo ("Have You Ever Seen an Elephant Fly?").

     

    What makes me laugh is you can see the cable from where the helicopter attached it and began flying.

    Their process for choosing the movies was basically:

     

    1. There's a huge box of tapes.

    2. Frank takes a ton of movies home. (Post-Frank it was interns that did this. They claimed it was mind numbing and horrible, but Frank loved it.)

    3. He watches them and finds one that will work.

    4. He brings it to a meeting on Monday with the full writing staff, they screen it and start riffing.

     

    So that happens, and they screen a movie about Appalachian hicks who marry underage girls. It was supposedly so vile, demented, and had such a 'real' vibe about it that it was shelved, never to be riffed.

     

    Trace or Frank mentions the story on one of the bonus features I believe. You can find the title of the movie on the imdb MST3K trivia section, but they don't even like to acknowledge it by name.

     

    Ok. I HAVE to see this film now! I never knew about this....

    It is my greatest wish that Paul will announce The Toy as their next movie.

     

    "Guys, the racism in this movie is NEXT LEVEL BONKERS."

     

     

    I'd be alright with them reviewing this film. An underrated Richard Donner film.

     

     

    This is why I never understood the appeal of Robin Williams. Most of his jokes and impressions aren't any better than the typical office clown who imagines himself a comedian.

     

    He's just another one of those things I chalk up to Boomers.

     

    Chalk it up to the copious amount of cocaine Robin was railing in the late 70s/early 80s. Watch his HBO special back in 1977, he is coked out of his gourd. Most of his early films, he's snowed. He and Altman were enjoying Malta too much while filming Popeye.
