Will we be as charmed by him this time around? Meanwhile, Stu rails against those who rail against political correctness, Dan reveals childhood spider trauma, and Elliott is under attack by helicopters.

I mean, you seemed to have missed the most obvious breakfast-is-the-most-important-meal-of-the-day movie: The Breakfast Club. It’s even got breakfast in the title.
Or Breakfast at Tiffany’s, for that matter.

Thanks, pal.
Oh — My — God! Thank you Stu, for mentioning the Demolition Man Taco Bell / Pizza Hut swap. I saw this movie in Poland, and even though they for some reason have used the audio for Pizza Hut in the movie theaters, the subs read “Taco Bell”.
Back then, neither Pizza Hut nor Taco Bell were brands people in Poland knew, but I reacted to the lips being out of sync with the speech, and to the wrong subs. For years it bothered me. Like, what the hell? Why? Why would anyone do that, and in Poland as well. I thought it was just one of those unexplained, weird things. I never bothered to google it after we got google.
Now I know! How totally and utterly bizarre. Thanks again, Flop House!
