Stuart leads this mini, wherein we discuss which are the best films to screen to help explain modern life to an unfrozen caveman. We just announced season 2 of FlopTV, all about BAD SEQUELS!

Apologies to the ecologically and morally-responsible vegans and vegetarians in our audience, but today’s episode is an exploration of cinematic meats, as Elliott takes us through one of the least-essential top ten lists in movie criticism history!

We got the amazing opportunity to talk with Tom Holland, the writer, director, or writer-director of horror movies and thrillers including Child’s Play, Fright Night, Thinner, Class of 1984, Cloak & Dagger, Scream For Help, and Psycho II. As three nerds who grew up with this stuff, you can imagine how excited we were to talk to Mr. Holland, and he was just a delight! We hope you enjoy it as much as we all did.

Dan briefly confuses everybody with talk about Garfield, before steering the boys into a discussion of their birthday twins, and related films. (Just listen. It’ll make sense. Eventually.)

Stuart brings a surprise guest, and a surprising new business venture for the Flop House.

Elliott quizzes the other Flop House boyz ™ about movies featuring modern society’s biggest achievement and greatest bane — computers!

We finally got our pal Matt Singer, author of the wonderful book Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies Forever, on the show to talk about the team who defined movie criticism for a generation. Also Dan leads a silly Siskel & Ebert related half-game.
