FH Mini 114 - Credits Report

Hey, everyone.

Welcome to a Flophouse Mini.

I'm Dan McCoy.

I'm Stuart Wellington.

I'm Elliot Kalen, or at least I was Elliot Kalen.

Join me, won't you?

On a mystery that will go deep into the heart of identity.

That's what this episode's about, right, Dan?

I thought I was in charge, but Elliot seems to be taking over.

It's a hostile takeover of Dan's mini.

No, Dan, what are we doing today?

So, normally on the flophouse, flop as you know, probably we watch a bad movie and then we talk about it.

But every other week, we do a mini episode where we freeform it a little bit.

And this one is inspired by a listener suggestion, actually, from John Lastney Withheld, who

wanted a mini focused on Stuart

and mid and post-credit scenes.

Because as we all know, as part of Flophouse lore, Stu is infamous for shutting off the Flophouse movies the instant they are over, meaning he frequently misses anything that happens after the in credits start.

Yeah.

So

today we're going to play a little game to see if this is true of Stuart and all movies.

Elliot, you are involved too.

You're here in an advisory capacity for your friend and co-host.

You can help him.

Or I guess if you choose to, you can hinder him.

I don't know why I would do that, but now that the option is in front of me, I think I may have to take it.

I just have to squid game to me.

A guy to let you know that you're free to do what you please.

The answer is up to you.

But the final answers are going to come from Stuart.

Oh, wow.

And a lot of pressure.

So I have a list of films that have mid- or post-credit scenes.

I'm going to give the title of the movie

and a brief refresher of the premise.

And we'll see if Stu either remembers, if he's seen it, or can guess what happens in the credit scene in a game that I'm calling Just One More Thing.

Just one more thing brought to you by Columbo.

If you thought something was over, but there's just one more thing, it might be a credit scene, or you might be watching Columbo, now streaming on 2B, Prime Video, and Peacock.

And just to be, just to be fair, you said brought to you by Columbo.

Did we receive any money for this advertisement for Columbo?

No,

the fictional character, Columbo, now likely deceased.

I mean, you know, Peter Falk has

been with us,

but the character probably also,

you know,

you don't think he like walked through the Stargate and became one now.

I'm just saying, no money has come from the fictional character, Colombo.

Or the show, which you just

where you can find it.

No.

What about Columbo University here in New York City?

Columbo University.

I finally, I'm graduating today.

Just one one more thing.

Now, I want to warn the audience, of course, this will obviously be filled with spoilers for films of the past.

So if that concerns you, tread carefully.

I'd be more concerned if it was filled with spoilers for films of the future.

That would be wild, right?

Yeah.

Would you be concerned or impressed?

I'm like, I didn't realize I was sitting next to early edition over here.

That's me.

Earl Edition.

The first.

The E also stands for Early, which is weird.

Yeah, that's weird.

Early, early.

Earl Early Edition.

1985.

Young Sherlock Holmes.

Directed improbably by one Barry Levinson.

It is a film about young Sherlock Holmes, his boarding school adventures, where he meets Watson.

engages in a tragic romance and fights a secret Victorian cult.

This film also has a post-credit scene.

What is it?

Now, again, Elliot can jump in and advise Hinder.

Can I ask a question?

Yeah.

Dan,

where does this fit canonically in your Sherlock Holmes rankings?

I'm actually quite fond of young Sherlock Holmes.

It obviously...

goes against the canonical sort of Sherlock Holmes story where Watson and Holmes meet later in life.

But it's kind of a fun little kid's adventure that combines Sherlock Holmes with sort of a,

I don't know, more of a Temple of Doom goonies feel.

So,

okay, so let's see.

I mean, I think the

I think it does have a post-credit scene.

You're right there.

You're on the right.

That's information that Dan already provided.

I get partial credit, I think, is

restating.

I feel like it's it's an introduction of Moriarty and a tease for him returning as a villain.

You are correct, Stuart.

The villain,

the villain of the picture is revealed to be alive.

We thought he had perished.

He's alive.

He checks himself into a hotel in the Alps under a new name, Moriarty.

And how did that play in Young Sherlock Holmes 2?

Unfortunately, we did not get any

further adventures.

Slightly older Sherlock Holmes was not made.

You know, young man, quarter-life prices, Sherlock Holmes didn't burn up the did they just end up making an even younger Sherlock Holmes?

Yeah, baby.

They're probably going to do a baby Sheldon movie or TV show, right?

You got it.

There's nowhere else to go unless you go with like super old Sheldon.

I mean, you can do both.

They both have to team up with each other.

It's a time travel story.

Yeah, exists.

Yeah.

I mean, he exists in all times, all points, all everywhere.

Yeah, there's always been a Sheldon.

Then there will always be a Sheldon.

He's the alpha and the Omega.

Okay.

1992.

We all remember 1992.

We lived through it.

Yeah.

A little film was released called Lethal Weapon 3,

directed by Loaded Weapon 2, you said?

Directed by Richard Donner.

It's the third in a series about a lethal weapon and his partner who's getting too old for this shit.

This film has a credit scene.

What happens in the credit scene to Lethal Weapon 3?

now lethal weapon three is the one with the cop killer bullets uh yes uh the bullet introduction the armor piercing cop killer not the one

that's lethal weapon three no that's part four yeah yeah jetly's in part four this is all part

lethal weapon two introduced joe pesci right and then lethal weapon three introduces renee russo right and part yeah part three also has

uh a guy getting killed and they um then they have the boys to men end of the road song at the funeral yeah yeah these are also most of the things i remember about this movie

uh there's a part i think where they uh renee russo and uh and uh mel gibson do they fight they compare scars it's sort of like uh yeah like jaws jaws thing and they this is the one where the villain goes on

jaws when they compare scars yeah all three of them have sex and jaws

yeah

uh Elliot, do you have any sort of glint in your eye?

Do you recall anything about this?

I don't.

My guess is is this is more of a funny mid-credits scene than a

Joe Pesci has been left somewhere and he's like, are you guys coming back for me?

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, he's at the bottom of the ocean with his feet in some cement, and he's like, oh, Chris.

I can only hold my breath so long.

Yeah, that's how he sounds, right?

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

You're right.

I mean, I guess it's kind of a comedic scene.

So the tone is correct.

Although, you know, in real life, this would not be

funny happening.

No, I'm sure.

And it's probably not funny when you're watching Lethal Weapon 3 either.

No, it's deadly serious.

I mean, the humor probably fails

to achieve its goal.

Yeah, it's like.

Lethal Weapon 2 is the one with the bomb on the toilet, right?

That's 2.

Yeah.

That's Lethal Weapon 2.

And a ghoulie planted that bomb.

That's a

wow.

I mean, I'll watch a Lethal Weapon Ghoulies crossover.

So that's more fun than any of the actual lethal weapons, to be honest.

Ooh, yeah, okay.

Lethal's weapon, the way you pluralize that.

I should, you know what?

I should re-watch the lethal weapon movies.

I remember watching them when I was young.

I was just so disappointed that it was just two guys.

Like, that was the concept.

It was just two guys that solve a crime, I guess.

Like, there was nothing more to it, essentially.

Yeah, but like, one's crazy.

I remember them.

And one of them just wants to retire.

Yeah.

I remember them being like, okay,

but like, they were never like in that sort of buddy cop thing.

I don't know.

They didn't transcend for me.

I feel like after Bad Boys 2 came out, it's like, why am I messing with this funny stuff?

Yeah.

Yeah, man.

You see a rat puppet have sex with another rat puppet.

Sure.

Okay, so you're giving up on what happens or do you want to...

Oh, that again.

That's right.

Joe Pesci's stuck somewhere and he's like, guys, you coming back for me?

He's in like a trunk or something that has to be claimed at the airport.

No, Riggs and Murtaugh are called uh to another building and they debate whether to go to go inside the building and the building explodes there's a freeze frame and riggs says i hope no one saw us which seems strange to me because like should they have gone into the building and gotten blown up i don't know the opening is that's the one that is it that one that opens with them cutting the wrong wire and it all blows up so it's a callback to that where it's like they didn't even get in there and it blows up yeah yeah wherever they go buildings blow up because it's the fourth one that opens with the guy in the like armored bodysuit and the flamethrower and machine gun

i don't i think yeah yeah i remember that yeah yeah and he's like blasting heavy metal music and his speak and his headphones yeah yeah okay so let's uh skip ahead a couple years to 1994

street fighter directed by stephen e d'Souza an adaptation of the video game about various characters

that fight one another yeah yeah after not not a reboot of the Sonny Chiba movie I was going to say, no, it is not a remake of the Sonny Chiba movie.

The movie

Julia as Sonny Chiba.

The movie where when he punches dudes, it does an x-ray attack and he like

crushing their skulls.

You see the movie?

Doesn't he like rip a dude's dong off?

I don't remember that part.

I always think that people's dongs get ripped off.

Yeah.

To be honest, I get Sonny Chiba movies mixed up a lot.

Okay, go on.

I get mixed up.

What's in Street Fighter and what's in like Karate Bear Fighter?

Real quick, I think this is a really important thing.

If I were to fire fire up street fighter who will you play who what character would you play wait oh i play the video game street fighter what's your seam distance attack but i also like vega because he does a lot of jump attacks yeah okay yeah i'm the kind of player i like

you're a goofy character guy i like to go in hit come right back out again yeah okay

i think street fighter is the movie where a guy to show how strong he is he puts a bottle in but in in his elbow between his bicep and his and the rest and he squeezes it till the bottle breaks just to show off the strong that's super hard i think that happens too i I think I either would.

I usually played either Blanca

or Chun Li.

Yeah.

Solid characters.

Yeah.

And both have a powerful button mash.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Powerful sexual attraction.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I'm, and of course, I'm Zangiev, the Russian bear fighter.

I just love a guy who can pick you up and spin.

You know who I'm not playing as.

Not playing as Ken, not playing as Ryu.

Boring.

Boring.

Ryu.

Not even like later on where they leaned into the hobo Ryu element and like, I I don't know, like Hot Dad can.

Go on, Dan.

No, I want to play a character that has like a, has some kind of superhuman thing about them.

Yeah.

You know, I mean, they throw fireballs.

Nah, that's not so fun.

That's not that fun.

Okay.

Well, anyway, in Street Fighter, after the credits rolled, there's more.

Tell me about it, stud.

That's me.

What happened?

There's more.

Okay.

Maybe like M.

Bison like claws his way out of the, like, out of the grave or out of like a building or something.

You know what, Stuart?

You are basically correct.

There are so many, I had to be careful because there are so many of these mid-credit scenes that are essentially just, oh, he's

dead.

Yeah.

He's not dead.

One might even show up later in

this game.

Who knows?

But yeah, solar power.

reactivates M.

Bison's computer and its revival system, which restores Bison, whose fist smashes through the rubble.

And on the computer screen, World Domination Colon replay is selected.

Oh, yeah.

So he gets another chance.

He has an extra life.

Man, movies based on video games are good.

Yeah.

Always.

Can't wait for that.

Can't wait for that Minecraft movie, huh?

I mean, we have, we have the, we are staring down the barrel of the very real Borderlands movie, guys.

Yeah, I guess we have to do that.

Oh, yeah, I forgot we gotta do that one.

We gotta do that one, yeah.

The one that is

not doing well for old lions, Gate.

Yeah.

Might have to change the locks.

Might have to give away the lion.

It's Kate Blanchett, right?

Yep.

Yes.

You can't blame her.

No, no, no.

I'm sure that any enjoyment I'm going to get out of that will be mostly Kate-based.

And any not enjoyment you get will be the Jack Black robot.

Luckily,

he's also in minecraft oh boy

so wait

in the minecraft movie do they just look like the guys from the money for nothing video no

it's the same old thing about people get sucked into the video game so you have live action people in a minecraft world but the minecraft world actually looks much better in the movie than it does in the video game like it sucks and uh and jack black shows up as steve the character from minecraft but he's still got a huge beard because i guess he told them i'll do the movie but i don't want to shave yeah and they're like he is so essential to the success of this.

I'm sure you're right about the Jack Black robot, Elliot.

But the thing is about that,

unlike how I'm sure that I will like Kate Blanchett in it, like I know that me disliking that robot won't be Jack Black's fault.

No, it won't be Jack Black.

Whoever was like told to write a Jack Black robot.

What does he do?

The voice for Claptrap?

Is Claptrap the robot?

I think like Lil Boxy Robot guy.

Yeah, Lil Boxy Robot exists.

So here's the thing.

Jack Black, I love him.

He does a lot of great performances.

I've been a fan of his for a long time since I first saw him on Mr.

Show years ago and First Artinaciousy.

But it always

stinks when suddenly this performer that you generally like is suddenly very annoying in a lot of movies all at the same time.

Right.

Because people are like, just have him do his thing.

They put him into this.

It's not pushing him creatively as a performer.

The Minecraft bourgeoisie.

And he's like, yeah, I'll take another house.

That's fine.

Okay, so moving on, the last selection before we'll take a little break here.

Superhero movies.

They often have credit scenes, and 2003's Daredevil is no exception, directed by Mark Stephen Johnson.

It tells the tale of famed crime-fighting blind lawyer Matt Murdoch, his romance with Electra Assassin, and his battle with the insidious kingpin and the deadly bullseye, based on the podcast by Jesse Thorne.

What happened?

What if Jesse Thorne played bullseye in the Daredevil movie?

I would love it.

I would love it.

Yeah, I can turn anything into a weapon.

So

here's this hip-hop CD.

He just throws it.

He sounds like a Kermit in your life.

I'm not against it, though.

No, sort of a Jesse.

What if Kermit was bullseye?

Yeah, anything in my hands because it becomes a weapon.

So wait, does that make

Electra Miss Piggy?

Yes, Electra is Miss Piggy.

Fozzie is the kingpin.

Yeah, exactly.

Daredevil is Daredevil.

Daredevil is gonzo, I suppose.

Yeah.

I'm the man without fear.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

See, Sam the Eagle.

The Electra comes up.

Sam the Eagle is a really good kingpin choice.

Actually, he would be a great kingpin choice.

Yeah.

So Gonzo, sorry.

Okay.

Kermit is Daredevil.

He has to be because he's the main character.

Gonzo is Foggy Nelson, the goofy sidekick.

Fozzie is,

I guess Fozzie has to be bullseye then.

Wow.

Like sort of a neurotic bullseye would be very funny.

Ah, anything in my hands is a weapon.

I love it.

I can't.

I just, you know, any Muppet thing makes me happy.

Okay.

Did you see the thing recently where I forget who it was, some lady, some young actress, she was in a, in an article, she was like, I want to be the only person in a Muppet movie, just like Michael Caine was the only person in his Muppet movie.

And the...

On Twitter, the guy who does the Muppets history feed, he's like, I'll remind everyone there are other,

Michael Caine's not the only person in the Muppet movie in Muppet Christmas Carol.

Like every, all the Muppets are operated by people.

Like, it's such a funny thing for a performer to be like, I want to be the only human who works with the Muppets.

Okay, well, there's a post-credit scene in Daredevil.

Stuart.

Can you tell me what this credit scene might be?

Well, I feel like it would be dumb.

So I've never actually seen the Daredevil movie.

Yeah.

I didn't have a huge connection.

It's great.

Yeah, you missed it.

Oh, man.

That was the start of the MCU, right?

um he's a character that i never really had a real connection with um

and for whatever reason personally this movie didn't seem that great yeah um let's see i would say okay the movie that created benefer two not that great all right okay yeah that's hey yeah you heard it your first folks um you know benefer i think i've made this joke before about benefer one being the first the first non-consecutive benefit benefit one and benefit three are technically the same benefit yeah um

so i I don't think it's a whole guess.

No, I know.

Stop pressure me.

Don't go eat a fucking uncrustable.

So I think it's got to introduce another character, but like, who's another daredevil character?

Like, Typhoid Mary or something?

Is it Typhoid Mary?

Does it introduce Typhoid Mary?

Hmm.

I was not aware of this character, and now I'm interested.

But what happens?

Typhoid Mary is a great character.

I mean, it takes, it's basically kind of doing Electra, but more so.

No, wait, no.

Does it introduce Tombstone?

Stiltman.

Does it introduce Stiltman?

No,

we see Bullseye.

We see Bullseye.

The Trapster?

Oh, is this when he gets his costume for the first time?

Well, Bullseye is a...

The Trapster is not a Daredevil villain.

Never been a Daredevil villain.

Bullseye is in a prison hospital.

He's all bandaged up after his encounter with Daredevil.

He still has perfect aim, though, which we see when he impales a fly with a syringe and says, bullseye.

So it's just another variant on the villain is going to be back.

Yeah.

You know, the villain's not done.

Yeah.

So

with that.

As opposed to

introducing the owl or the jester or any other of Daredevil's amazing rogues, you know.

Let's take a little break.

Elliot, why don't you tell us a little bit about Flop TV?

Ooh, we've learned something over the years.

Some people out there really do not like that slogan.

Listen, we love straight white guys.

Well, some of them.

But if there's one thing we can't change, it's who we are.

It looks beautiful.

I'm just super excited about it.

So go to your local comic book store on Wednesday, October 23rd, and pick up Harley Quinn number 44, written by me.

Well, let us move on to the second second part of the mini.

And this is the only flophouse movie I'm including in here.

It's the very first flophouse movie.

Oh, wow.

2005.

It's Stealth, directed by Rob Cohen.

It's the tale of EDI, an artificial intelligence jet created by the military that turns against our heroes, Josh Lucas, Jamie Fox, and Jessica Beale.

They prevail, but something happens after the credits.

What?

Like the EDI 2.0 boots up

or is revealed.

I mean, basically, that's what it is.

This is the final, The Nightmare is Not Over one on the border between North and South Korea.

The AI brain turns back on.

Oh no.

Yeah, I'm glad that

they made this movie,

this call to a warning call about the horrors of AI, and humanity listened, and it's not a problem anymore.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Stealth did it.

No more AI.

One of the most effective movies in the history of movies.

We're moving forward in time.

I mean, obviously we are.

Yeah.

But yeah, yeah.

Are you just quoting the trailer for In Time starring Andrew Garfield?

Not just Live in Time.

What's the name of that movie?

In Time?

Is that what?

Live in Time?

The one with Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh.

I guess I don't know that one.

The horse.

Oh, that's the horse meme thing.

No,

I'm unfamiliar with the trailer for that.

No, obviously, we are moving forward in time, but in life, but we are also moving forward in time in these movies.

Yeah, movies move forward in time, too.

It's rare that a movie goes backwards in time.

I mean, memento, kind of.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Fair enough.

In 2008, the second X-Files movie was released.

It was called The X-Files colon, I want to believe.

It was directed by series creator Chris Carter.

It was a monster of the week style tale of a kidnapped FBI agent and a psychic pedophile priest who wants to find this kidnapped agent.

It was a dark, moody installment, and there was more after the credits.

Can you tell me what it was?

First off, I didn't see this one.

Did you guys see this one?

I did.

I was a big X-Files fan back in the day.

It's fine.

It is like, you know, it is,

like I said, they were like, well, let's not lean further into the increasingly impenetrable mythology stuff.

Let's just do a standalone movie.

I like that part.

Chris Carter,

not the most

accomplished of the people who worked on it directorally, I don't think, but it was okay.

I saw that first X-Files movie and I was like, this wasn't much of a, nothing really much happened in X-Files Fight the Future.

So I said, once bitten, twice shot.

I mean, they all thank you.

They almost kissed, and then a bee stung Scully.

I remember that.

That was the most exciting thing that happened in the whole.

I'm going to guess.

You know, I know what happens in the post-credit scene.

Spooky Fox Mulder meets an alien.

No, in this moody dark installment,

the post-credit scene is Mulder and Scully floating on a rowboat near a tropical island.

And as the camera goes above them, they wave up at it.

So it's really more an end scene for David DeCovney and

Julian Anderson just to be like, hey, everybody, we're not doing this anymore.

You liked it.

See you for the very short reboot show.

Okay.

Well,

we'll keep on television shows

and creators directing.

movies of the TV shows.

In 2014, Veronica Mars got a kick-started movie

directed by the series creator Rob Thomas, where Veronica ditches her potential new life as a high-priced lawyer in the city and comes back to Neptune to save her ex, Logan Eccles,

who is accused of murder.

What is the post-credit scene in Veronica Mars?

I feel like

it's

Enrico Calatone,

Calatone.

I don't know.

I can't think of it while you're saying words.

It sounds like Stuart's brain has been caught in some kind of glitch loop where he can't quite get over the end of the name.

You know, he plays the principal on the FX hit show English Teacher.

Oh, he does?

He does.

Yeah.

I think it's Canadian.

Aliens and Galaxy Quest.

He plays an alien.

He was on Just Shoot Me, played the photographer named Elliot.

I will never shoot you, Elliot.

I love you.

Thanks.

I appreciate that.

I mean, there was,

it was a double meaning, both in the terms of like, oh, get me out of here, but also like

photography because it was a fashion magazine.

I don't get it.

It's over my head.

I'm, I'm more of a, you know, a simple guy.

I'm a blue-collar guy.

So you're a Veronica's Closet guy.

Yeah, I'm a Veronica's Closet guy.

That was more than working-class, you know, working-class guy.

Joe Schmo, you know, like me.

I would say it's her dad,

and he's like sitting down to a really big hoagie or something.

He's like, finally, there's time to eat this hoagie.

No,

this is a comical post-credit scene.

Yep.

Oh, you're saying the hoagie one would not have been comical, would have been too serious?

I think with an actor of his caliber, I think he could pull it off.

Yeah, it's true.

He could make that funny.

But no, this is a callback to an earlier moment,

a surprise cameo.

So again, if you don't want spoilers, don't listen.

But it's James Franco in his trailer trying to think of words.

Beloved actor, James Franco.

Everybody loves him.

Yeah.

What a pleasant surprise that would be.

Not as beloved as he once was, but he was playing himself in Veronica Mars.

You see him as himself in his trailer trying to think of words that rhyme with orange.

He's just listing out words, trying to rhyme them with orange.

Yeah, that's way funnier than my big sandwich bit.

I was going to say, I'd rather see the big sandwich.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, let's wrap it up and then we can all go get a big sandwich if we want to.

This is the final one.

It's from just last year.

It's a film called Wonka, directed by Paul King.

It's a tale about how Willy Wonka used to be Timothy Chalamay.

But what happens to the movie?

Interesting way to describe the movie.

The credits for Wonka.

Do you remember?

Did you see Wonka?

I did see Wonka, and you know what?

It worked better than I thought it would.

I saw it.

I thought it was better than it was going to be.

I personally have no memory of what happens in the credits.

I'm guessing like Hugh Grant

and a bunch of other Oompa Loompas hang out or something.

It was a Hugh Grant-based post-credits scene.

It's not the, because this part where he goes, where he buys the factory, that's before the credits, right?

Like, that's not a post-credits thing, right?

No.

No.

Hugh Grant, does he reveal he's actually like tall?

Yeah, that'd be crazy.

Secretly tall the whole time.

That's the twist.

Yeah.

The whole movie, he's been handing people binoculars the wrong way around.

So when they look at him, it looks like he's much smaller.

And he was saying that the process of making the Wonka movie was his favorite filming experience of all time, right?

No, he was very grumpy about it, in fact.

I can understand.

I think he did not, was he ever on camera with another actor in that movie?

Like, I imagine it was all green screen acting for him.

Likely so.

Like, he does not.

seem to be the sort of man who would enjoy that sort of thing.

But at least he had a good time making Paddington, too, probably, right?

Yeah, I mean, that bears amazing.

He did.

Well, he says that's his favorite one.

Yeah, I mean, he's great.

Yeah, I know.

He's fantastic.

More than Mickey Blue Eyes?

More than Mickey Blue Eyes.

Well, I'll tell you.

I'll tell you what happened in Wonka since you've forgotten.

Hugh Grant, as the Inpalumpa, tells us what happens to some of the characters.

Larry Chucklesworth, whoever the fuck that was,

gets back together with his wife.

Abacus, of course, played by Mr.

Carson from Downton Abbey, returns to his family, and Scrubbit and Bleacher are arrested after a failed attempt to eliminate the evidence of their crime.

So, that's what happened in Wonka.

And uh, with that, I think we can wrap up, we can go into our

did really well.

Is it time to look at his score and see how well he did?

I think I did really good, yeah.

Looking at the score, uh, he got 800 out of 12.

That's the thing,

that's amazing.

I'm not one of you liked

I'm not one of you like

big city educated city boys.

I'm kind of like a blue-collar regular guy.

Yeah, you're coming out from the sticks of Indiana, and yet you know all the stuff about movies.

Yeah, it's pretty impressive.

So,

let's.

So, did we, did we, is this like a fact check, right?

This is how many Pinocchios does the story that Stewart doesn't ever watch post-credits scenes.

Yeah, you only get one Pinocchio for that one.

I mean, some of them you were clearly guessing at.

I don't think this proves that you watch them.

But you know what?

We can no longer, this can no longer be part of the joke about Stuart.

You know, yeah, he's shown us that at the very least, he doesn't watch them because he can usually guess what's going to happen.

What's great is now I can turn it off, even like halfway through the movie.

Yeah, you can't even watch the edge.

The very next time that Stuart does this exact thing, just encouraging bad behavior, guys.

Yeah, as I've been trying to say, let's get into our own credits and then call it a day for this many.
