Ep. #400 - Troll 2

It's a goddamn milestone -- 400 mainline episodes over 16 years of The Flop House! (And that's not counting all of the FH Minis, and the Movie Minutes of yore!) Thus, we took a break from our usual modus operandi of watching less-artistically-successful modern movies, and we treated ourselves with one of the classics of the bad movie canon (so much so that it's the topic of the extremely enjoyable documentary Best Worst Movie). That's right: we're talking about TROLL 2, the film that has absolutely nothing to do with the original Troll other than a title and a fondness for rubber creatures!! It's been memed! It's been giffed! And now it's been Flop Housed!Check out more info about our upcoming season of streaming shows, FLOP TV, and buy tickets!Wikipedia page for Troll 2Movies recommended in this episode:Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)No Hard Feelings (2023)Little Murders (1971)Ever tried Microdosing?
