# Episode #104 – Atlas Shrugged

Since the last time we had Zhubin on we watched the thrillingly goofy [Trespass](https://www.flophousepodcast.com/2012/01/suppose-they-gave-nicholas-cage-nicole.html), we needed to make it up to absent Stuart by watching the boringly boring [Atlas Shrugged: Part I.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480239/) Meanwhile Elliott turns his co-hosts into cutters, Dan does a dead-on impression of Atlas, and Zhubin is positively Al Madrigalian in his angling for Stu’s seat.

 0:00 – 0:29- Introduction and theme.
