What’s the perfect formula for a Christmas blockbuster? Take a character that only comics fans are familiar with, and give it to a first-time director who’s only interested in recapturing the look of his own Sin City. Wait, blockbuster is an alternate spelling for “flop,” right? We discuss The Spirit. Meanwhile we learn that Stuart […]
Sometimes even the best of intentions, combined with a deep and abiding religious faith, can still result in a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad movie. We watch Fireproof. Meanwhile, Elliott reveals why he’s so easily amused, Stuart reminisces about a nacho altercation, and Dan talks like a little girl (intentionally this time). 0:00 – […]
The Floppers resemble an old joke about guys walking into a bar. We got a Christian, a Jew, and whatever Stuart is. We think he worships Cthulhu. Thus, in honor of our myriad traditions, we’re taking a short break this weekend, so that Dan can crucify some eggs, Elliott can gorge himself on unleavened bitter […]

WARNING AND APOLOGY: Our Floptacular episodes must be cursed. Last year’s Academy Awards show featured a nearly inaudible Elliott, and this time around Stuart’s mic appears to have gone dead — and we somehow managed to overlook this until editing time. We’ve done our best to “fix it in post,” but it’s still highly noticeable. […]
Dan was on vacation this week, and he owns all the recording equipment. So, until next week’s new episode, please enjoy this re-run. (We apologize for the audio towards the end of this edition. One of the mics conked out — but there’s so much good stuff in it that we couldn’t resist revisiting this […]
