The Flop House

Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie

"What's the Bratz of the 2020's?" we asked ourselves, chasing that ultimate Bratz high. "Could it be Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32214143/]?" While perhaps not reaching those lofty heights, this was nearly as bonkos as reviews suggested it would be -- a psychedelic fantasia filtered through a combination Hello Kitty/candy store. The movie was not meant for us, but we had a fun time talking about it.

Ella McCay

On this episode, we discuss ELLA MCCAY [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30096221/], which -- based on its poster -- is a movie about a woman having trouble with her shoe. Hmn. That can't be right. Well, whatever it's about, it's made by the legendary James L. Brooks, so we can be sure it'll have a clear plot, strong themes, and a comprehensible emotional throughline!

Sonic the Hedgehog 3, with Jamelle Bouie

You probably thought we forgot the hedgehog beat! We were just biding our time. Sometimes slow and steady wins the race, SONIC. We welcome our returning Senior Hedgehog Correspondent, Jamelle Bouie, who absolutely does not have anything more important to do [https://www.nytimes.com/column/jamelle-bouie] than extend this bit, to discuss Sonic the Hedgehog 3 [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18259086/]. Why does a movie about a fast hedgehog have this much plot, and why is it all so boilerplate? We get into it.
