Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie Mar 28, 2026

Show notes

"What's the Bratz of the 2020's?" we asked ourselves, chasing that ultimate Bratz high. "Could it be Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie?" 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 Mar 14, 2026

Show notes

On this episode, we discuss ELLA MCCAY, 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 Feb 28, 2026

Show notes

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 than extend this bit, to discuss Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Why does a movie about a fast hedgehog have this much plot, and why is it all so boilerplate? We get into it.

FH Mini 145 - Flop to the Future Feb 07, 2026

Show notes

Stuart combed cinematic history for visions of the future, then, like Ebeneezer Scrooge, demanded of his his co-hosts,""Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be, only?" (Or, more Stu: "How likely are these predictions, dudes?")

But what of the VULGAR auteurs? We check in with Paul W.S. "The Other Paul Anderson" Anderson's latest "boy do I love my wife, Milla Jovavich" project, In the Lost Lands, based on some short stories by (checks notes) George R.R. Martin. Hmn. Wonder if Stu's ever heard of this guy.
