The Flop House

A lot of stuff happened... HERE. Well. Not that much stuff, actually. Like, six couples lived here. Most of them were pretty boring. But at one point there were dinosaurs! That's pretty cool, right?

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:https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-pjtc-rebuild-after-the-eaton-canyon-firehttps://www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-denison-familys-fire-lossWe’re in season 2 of FlopTV!
