I (Dan) hated it, but the thing that bugs me most of all is unimaginative modern blockbuster mediocrity. I'd much rather watch something incompetent-but-unique than Hollywood IP slop. If your calibrations/priorities are different, it might work okay for you. (Not judging anyone, if so!)
New mini tomorrow! We take the temperature of The Flop House. How's everybody doing?
One more from our most recent episode, on Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

I know exactly who’ll be looking forward to this… ME, when @flophousepodcast.com and @jamellebouie.net dissect it in a future episode.
I wrote a "chapter" of The Dark Knight for The Novelizers podcast, and was excited to learn it would be read by the great Chris Parnell -- *so* funny in Walk Hard, Rick & Morty, and (especially) as Dr. Spaceman on 30 Rock. Now the episode is out!

Another moment from our SONIC 3 episode with special guest @jamellebouie.net

I would say this is maybe the ideal example of a Flop House episode but they DID bring in a ringer with Jordan...
Still a great introduction for new listeners, don't feel overwhelmed by the previous 400+ episodes
Even if it's a bit, I find it weirdly comforting that @jamellebouie.net ,while covering very serious issues and doing important work, was still wistful about waiting to be called up to talk about "Sonic 3" on @flophousepodcast.com
@flophousepodcast.com just turned a question about writing letterboxd reviews into a great discussion about the value and power of allowing yourself to find joy in things. It's well worth a listen. It's 90 minutes in, but don't skip the rest of the show! www.flophousepodcast.com/2026/02/epis...
REMINDER: My new comic BARBARIAN BEHIND BARS #1 is in comics stores now! Please buy it and read it and like it!
But no one takes his job as Senior Hedgehog Correspondent more seriously!

We got @jamellebouie.net back on the hedgehog beat for this Saturday's SONIC 3 episode. Why did it take so long? Well...
Not ALL of March, but we quietly extended it a couple of weeks. Shhh. It's a not-very-secret secret!

SWORDFISH is a collision of rock-dumb early 2000’s action aesthetics with this new thing called “the internet” (ever heard of it?)
Join us for SWORDFISH on 35mm in our next RIDICULOUS <> SUBLIME, Thursday 3/26 at Nitehawk Prospect Park with an intro by the hosts of @flophousepodcast.com
HA! Just saw that your original post essentially said the same thing. So. Yeah, you pre-answered your own question.
We used to be set up to have more of a cultural history -- cable TV needed content, so old reruns would be played to fill time, plus we'd be watching shows written by older people obsessed by the ephemera of their own youth. Now the internet has fractured everything, and all is narrowcasting.

Tomorrow, Elliott helps us choose the best of the best (pictures)!

One last clip from our ep on HIGH ROLLERS, with guest @jordanmorris.bsky.social!
It was a ticketed live show, but maybe someday we'll figure out a release of that stuff.
Dear lord so much pointlessly wasted space
Great episode for people who want to hear some silly people make jokes about bad movies.
An extended bit about a Saw / Seinfeld crossover had me in stitches
More from High Rollers, with @jordanmorris.bsky.social !
This means something...
Another great clip from our HIGH ROLLERS ep, featuring @jordanmorris.bsky.social
