# The Flop House: Episode #43 – Righteous Kill

Robert Deniro. Al Pacino. Co-starring together at last, as the result of an cruel prank, in which they are cast in a terrible, terrible (terrible) movie. We talk about [Righteous Kill](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034331/). Meanwhile Dan lets us in on why he sees everything as the set-up for an erotic cat-and-mouse game, Elliott talks about the most effective treatment for a coma, and Meghan unwittingly reveals Elliott and Dan’s secret life as sex workers.
