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.
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!).
We flashback to discuss a movie that was much-requested when it was first released, but just didn’t fit into our schedule — Jerry Seinfeld’s baffling paean to the Pop Tart, Unfrosted, a film that throws an astounding cavalcade of comedy talent at ideas that seem (apologies) a bit undercooked. Also, we were blessed by the rare in-studio presence of our beloved producer, Alex Smith, who hadn’t actually seen the movie, which made explaining the madness of the “plot” all the more enjoyable.
While we were all fortunate enough to record in-person, Stuart filled Dan and Elliott with booze and forced them to do celebrity “impressions.” It’s either our most fun episode or our most embarrassing! Or both!
