For our first full episode recorded and released in 2025, we wanted to start things off with a bang, so we watched the sequel to a love-it-or-hate-it film, except this time around most non-John Waters/Quentin Tarantino folks seemed to just hate it. That's right, it's the further adventures of that notorious clown prince of stair dancing, the Jokester, in... Joker: Folie à Deux, the film that got the lowest Cinemascore EVER for a "superhero movie." What will WE make of it?

The two LA fire-related fundraisers Elliott mentions in the episode:

As we all recover from our New Year's hangovers, enjoy this, the second of our two live shows from last May's "Saint Audio Podcast Festival" in Oxford, England. We discuss Spice World, a film we also had the privilege of introducing at The Ultimate Picture Palace, for a screening the evening before, and -- honestly? The movie was a total blast. We hope you have fun listening to the love fest.

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...

Though we've done our best to not let it disrupt the show, Elliott's a busy bee these days and had to sit this one out, so Dan took the rare opportunity of being able to finish his sentences to get to know his old pal Stuart a little better... but with a film-related twist.

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.

Note: We performed in Oxford's Town Hall, which was an absolutely gorgeous venue, but was also very large and echoey. We did what we could to minimize the effects, but we apologize that the audio does come with a little extra reverb!

"But Trap wasn't a flop!" you scream to the heavens. "Neither financially, nor critically!" you wail, desperately. "It made 83 million on a 30 million budget! And it got a mixed, but not-awful 52 on Metacritic!" But the uncaring Gods of Flop offer no comfort. Because whatever your personal feelings, Trap has inspired STRONG OPINIONS, and besides, when you have a great guest like Linda Holmes, you surrender to the whims of the floppiverse.
