Ah, here he comes, that son of a gun, that cat, that Garfield, that gigantic thing — except… There’s something different about him. It’s weird. He just doesn’t seem very… Garfield-y? Anyway, in honor of the birthday of one of our great Americans, Garfield the cat, and also maybe one other guy, we take on 2024’s The Garfield Movie.
With The Fantastic Four: First Steps coming to theaters soon, listener Andrew asked the question “Galactus and The Silver Surfer — what’s their deal, man?” and Elliott gladly stepped up to answer.
Love DOES hurt. For instance, we love and only want the best for Everything Everywhere All at Once comeback king Ke Huy Quan, but then we have to witness him struggle through a movie like Love Hurts. Fortunately he comes off all right. The movie itself? Not so much. But hey, looks like he’s got Zootopia 2 and a movie from the guy who made Rare Exports coming up. Maybe those will be good!
There have been a lot of animals in movies, but which are the BEST animals? Stuart Wellington leads a highly-scientific investigation.
The Flop House is headed to Summer Camp! A few weeks of sun, swimming, hiking, crafts — we’re gonna make each other SO MANY FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS that our circulation is gonna cut off! We’re gonna have so much fu– what? It’s just a movie? But… it stars Diane Keaton, Alfre Woodard, and Kathy Bates, so with those actors it’s gotta be at least a little fun, righ– it’s not? Oh, poop.
Hallie joins the Flop House gang once more, to discuss random topics selected by YOU, the listeners!
We’re joined by longtime friend of the show (but first time on mic!) Alejandro Arbona, a 20-year veteran of comics editing and a comics writer himself, to discuss everyone’s favorite extravagantly-perverse Italian thriller genre — GIALLO. We discuss what defines a giallo and differentiates it from other sub-genres (and the slasher films it helped inspire), and then Alejandro runs us through a little giallo title quiz. It’s so jam-packed with info we didn’t have room for Elliott (jk, he had scheduling issues, that li’l scamp will be back next time!).
