The listener who entered our Sexy Xenomorph contest under the name “Do Critters Next” asked us to “Do Critters next,” so we did Critters next, which has ceased to become “next” and is now now. And who better to join us for this slice of silly 80s monster horror than a man whose own films bear the influence of that horror decade, Stephen Kostanski, the director of Psycho Goreman, the movie that turned Stuart Wellington into a brain in a tube.
Dan puts on his gamesmaster hat, to run Elliott and Stu through a gamut of short games, based on the movie offerings of various streaming services.
Idris Elba is undoubtedly a great actor, a charismatic presence, and a handsome man par excellence, but… maybe he needs to fire his agent? After all, this is his EIGHTH appearance in a Flop House movie (possibly there were more; we didn’t count that carefully), so it’s fair to say that his movie roles have never quite matched up to his best work on TV, or his talents in general. Is Beast the one that will break the streak? He DOES punch a lion…
Stuart “Tuboy” Wellington brings back his popular Flop House mini format of “forget about movies, what about television for a while?” and Dan and Elliott follow him for some free-rangin’ TV talk!
No, not Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne’s riff on Columbo, Poker Face, nor even Lady Gaga’s early hit single. The Poker Face we discuss in this episode is a Russell Crowe project through and through, with him not only starring, but writing and directing as well! It’s nice that the man is branching out. Too bad this movie takes so damn long to figure out what it’s about!
Our esteemed host for the mini, Mr. Elliott Kalan, takes Dan and Stu on a tour through Oscar history by quizzing them on some of the most forgettable Best Picture winners of all time
Booksmart was one of Dan’s favorite movies of its year. Director Olivia Wilde’s big-budget follow-up, Don’t Worry Darling… has problems. Dan, Stu, and Elliott chat about them, while mostly ignoring the extra-textural hubbub around the movie. Mostly. Don’t worry, darlings. Or do. We aren’t your dads.
