Technical Difficulties

A storm knocked out the Internet at Flop House Central (TM) for a good chunk of the week, so we opted not to do a movie minute, as it wasn't clear if we'd actually be able to post it.

However, the issues are now resolved and we're back online, so look for a new full-length episode next week, with all of the official hosts together for the first time in over a month. Can you handle it?!*

*In all probability, yes you can.
