2025/08/30

It's rare that a movie gets embraced as a new classic in badness as quickly as Amazon's War of the Worlds, but hey -- they're known for their fast delivery. Maybe they're just the future of bad movies, "disrupting" the bad movie space with their boldly incompetent visions!

Back in the 80s and 90s, movies LOVED to end with a rap song that went over the plot to the movie you just saw.

The Flop House ·

2025/08/02

Elliott had to dip out for an episode, so... how do you replace a troublemaking little scamp? How about: with the comforting, easy presence of Linda Holmes? We deserve a vacation too, y'know? And in this episode, we make good on a promise from Linda's last appearance -- to have her back to discuss that hearty slice of Christmas "content," Red One.

The Flop House ·

2025/07/05

No, it's not a biopic about Jim Poolman, former insurance commissioner of North Dakota. It's a comic sunshine noir about an actual pool-maintaining Poolman, played (and written/directed) by fave Chris (Pine), who finds himself tangled in a criminal conspiracy... or maybe he's just whacked-out and paranoid?
