Hello everybody. Welcome to the flop house. My name is Elliott Kalin and I'm going to be your pilot tonight on a journey into interstellar space and into the depths of one of the most creative minds that maybe there ever was joining me on this special voyage are as always my co pilots. Their names being fill in your names now guys.

Dan McCoy Stewart Wellington. Well a harsh lampoon of democoy. I'm wondering about this voice that you're just supposed to be a comforting pilot is that the kind of the vibe you're going to be going to.

This is the way I talk now like a rod rod rod rod serling sterling. Guys I discovered true peace and happiness and this is just how I talk now it's called drugs and it is really taking the edge off.

I know a long time ago. I didn't know you're interested but no guys I was just trying to to start off with not in my normal hyperactive manner because I'm going to need to save that energy for this episode tonight.

Real quick Elliott the the drugs he took can you check the package and make sure it's not like a brain dead situation and it's accidentally like an Elliott stimulant.

Well didn't come out of the jacks into your brain and you know that's brain damage.

But if it's a word in the jacks into your brain that's pretty cool. Yeah that's pretty awesome. Anyway this is a mini episode normally on the flop house we watch a bad movie then we talk about it sometimes

movies not that bad sometimes a movie is very bad but tonight we didn't watch a movie no no it's a mini episode so it's our time to do whatever we want and you're just strapped in you got to follow us like hostages in your ears.

So your your hostages to our stuff tonight. I'm not sure about this new branding for the menus but I mean it's called hey you so here's how the minis work now it's the audio equivalent of putting a hood over your head and shoving you in a van.

You're just with us you know and you know you could you could turn off your podcast player but then the next time a t-shirt comes out referencing a popular bit that you might miss that was featured in this mini.

Oh quite a fool. You can be so mad when you don't know if that t-shirt means it's going to wreck you you're going to ruin it to the end of your days but don't worry you're already listening that's why you heard all this so you're still with us tonight.

I'm going to give a Dan and store it a little explainer and answer all their questions about that's right m to the e m to the m mm mm to the marvels eternal that's right everybody we're finally going to be explaining what the hell the

world is. The subject of the next it's the tent pole of what phase eight phase nine of the marvel cinematic universe that's right when you come out Elliott because you know black widow obviously delayed but only coming out.

This is coming this week and we get eternal will be coming out November 5th in the United States all over the world I don't know when so it's a big thanksgiving time release and when you hear about the movie you're

going to know why they're releasing it and thanksgiving the time when people don't really go out to see the movies very much it could be a good movie I don't know that I'm going to bring you into my thesis that the

fundamentals are perhaps the least fan-loved characters in the history of marvel comms should we should we give you a little foundation of what Dan I know about marvels that's a great idea is just going to ask exactly what do you guys know about the

There are again, these are the subjects of a huge movie that's coming out directed by an academy award-winning director and starring big-name stars. What do you know about the

Eternals? I know that Kumail Nanjouli in the movie. She's also in the movie, yes. I know. So I know a couple of casting things and nothing about the character. So you know that Kumail Nanjouli, of course plays the famous character,

Kingo and is that character known for being super jacked? No, he's actually known for being Japanese. So it's interesting that they cast Kumail Nanjouli, but he is. So Kumail's character is a movie star who is a member of the Eternals much like in the comics, Kingo's. And Angelina Jouli is, of course, playing the famous character, Athena. Who Dan, you know is the daughter of Zoris. Of course, Zoris. So is that the extent of what you're familiar with the Eternals is two of the stars that are in the movie?

Yeah, I don't even think I could remember any other. So what did you guys, did you see the trailer? I definitely watched the trailer at least once, but I have another question. So I saw JK Simmons in a movie recently and he was super jacked. Was he getting super jacked because he's got to play J. Jonah Jameson again? I think he was getting super jacked because he and Kumail are Jim buddies. And it's kind of like you get jacked and I'll get jacked rep for rep. We're going to do this together.

Whenever one of us is flagging, the other one is going to buck up their spirits. And that's what he did. I do not touch that fucking bar until the last possible minute. You got to let me do the full pump.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. Just believe in me and I'll believe in you. That was their motto. So guys, let me tell you about the Eternals. Okay. I'm not going to start with more about the cast. Although huge, huge cast. It's the most diverse cast in a Marvel movie, which is interesting considering that the Eternals themselves are based on the
