# Episode #86 – The Happiest Millionaire

Only an army could make us sit through [The Happiest Millionaire](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061749/)… an army, or one U.S. serviceman, that is.  Meanwhile, Dan reveals the creepier aspects of his character, Stuart returns from his gaming convention with a surprise gift, and Elliott is forever thwarted in his attempts to bring American history to the podcast masses.

 27:58 – 33:00 – We summarily dispense with final judgments, to discuss Stuart’s SURPRISE GIFT to Dan and Elliott
 33:31 – 47:45 – Flop House Movie Mailbag
 47:46 – 54:44 – The sad bastards recommend / plug.

 Lastly, some folks dealt with the Flop House break with a little less patience than others, as this fan art will attest.  I hope we’re square now.  Please release our families.
