Episode 60 - All About Steve

Since Dan is gone this weekend at a wedding, Flopsmas is coming early this year! Enjoy a rare Thursday-posted episode!

We'll say this for Sandra Bullock - she throws herself into every role, even the ones she shouldn't, like the lead in All About Steve. Meanwhile, Brock makes a plea for simple job competence, Dan questions the film's view of the high-stakes crosswords world, and Stuart gives a recap lesson in cookery.

2:31 - 36:53 - We put on our critics' high-heeled red leather boots to take on the no-rom, no-com, rom-com All About Steve
40:56 - 40:55 - Final judgments
40:56 - 44:07 - An all-comments Flop House mailbag.
48:45 - 55:07- The sad bastards recommend.

Perhaps the low volume of comments on this site has something to do with Dan's repeated broadcasting of the incorrect website URL. (Twice, starting at 47:10 in this episode, FYI.) Hint: there's no "the" in the hostname. (There's also no "i" in the word "general," but I digress…)

Aw, boo. I happen to love that movie, and think Sandra was adorable in it!

Kate, you have opened our eyes. Never again will we make fun of a Sandra Bullock romantic comedy... as long as it is loved by a cute female Flop House Fan.

Yes. We can be bought.
