FH Mini #119 – ’24 in Review with Stu

As New Year’s approaches, and we say goodbye to 2024, Stuart takes us on a gamified tour through the year in movies.
As New Year’s approaches, and we say goodbye to 2024, Stuart takes us on a gamified tour through the year in movies.
We discuss Borderlands, a video game movie that got delayed for several years, with extensive reshoots where an uncredited director took over for Eli Roth — but it’s probably okay, right? It’s not like that sentence has at least five red flags in it… We’re in season 2 of FlopTV! Pop in for individual episodes, […]
We took a short break around Thanksgiving, which means YOU finally get to hear one of our LIVE episodes from Oxford’s inaugural Saint Audio Podcast Festival! We were extremely excited to finally do a show in the UK and see some listeners from across the pond, and — because we were in England — we HAD to talk about 1998’s The Avengers (aka “the non-Marvel-one), a legendary mega-flop and a despoiling of a beloved British TV series.
The thrilling conclusion of our definitive action hero rankings, as determined by Stuart’s totally scientific, non-bullshit method!
Stuart uses the scientific and not-at-all random method that he perfected in his rankings of horror movie villains to help us determine the ultimate movie action hero. We’re in season 2 of FlopTV!

You KNEW this episode was coming, and we got to it as soon as we could! We discuss Francis Ford Coppola’s defiantly personal, defiantly incomprehensible, personal-fortune-destroying Megalopolis! And for such a megaflopolis episode we enlisted the help of Roman Mars, a man who knows a thing or two about architecture and design, and who’s currently co-hosting a podcast series with Elliott about The Power Broker, a book about Robert Moses (clearly an inspiration for Adam Driver’s “what if Robert Moses but not totally evil” character)!
Hallie may not have seen a ghost this Halloween season, but Elliott caps off Shocktober (a little late, in “no theme No-vember”) by quizzing all of us about whether we’ve seen cinematic ghosts, in the course of our many Flop House viewings. We’re in season 2 of FlopTV! Tune in for individual episodes, or get […]
Bad news first: we discussed Dear David, a horror movie based on a Twitter thread posted by a guy who used to do comics for Buzzfeed, released by “Buzzfeed Studios” — a sentence that gives us a headache just to type. The good news? We’re joined by Star of the Show, Hallie Haglund, whose ever-delightful […]
