Welcome to Flick Flops, the podcast where we take a deep dive into movies that were critically panned, but may not necessarily be as bad as their reputation suggests. We're here to wade through the muck and give you our honest thoughts on the best and worst aspects of these films. From bad acting and poor writing to uneven pacing and cringe-worthy dialogue, we'll be analyzing every aspect of these cinematic disasters to determine whether they truly deserve their reputation as "bad movies". But, we also recognize that there can be a certain charm to even the most notorious flops, and we'll be exploring whether these films have any redeeming qualities. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of bad movies or just love to hate-watch the occasional train wreck, this is the podcast for you. This is Flick Flops, and we're about to take you on a journey through the world of cinematic failures.

    What’s Changing — and What’s Staying | Flick Flops Channel Update

    A lot of changes are coming to this channel — but not in the way you might expect. Today we’re talking about how Flick Flops (soon to be known as NAME TO BE REVEALED SOON) is evolving, what’s staying, what’s moving, and how this helps us deliver more consistent, film-focused content going forward. Flick Flops, Cult Classics, and Retro Rewind are all staying right here, and with a new scheduling approach, you’ll start seeing them show up more consistently. We’re also introducing a brand-new, multi-episode film-centric series designed to go deeper into topics that deserve more than a single discussion. We also cover where Sonic Legacy, Nights at the Round Table, and other projects are heading — including which shows are moving to their own dedicated channels and which ones will return in a more intentional format. As always, your input matters. If there are upcoming movies you’re cautiously excited about and want to know whether they’re worth your money, drop them in the comments. And don’t forget to vote in this week’s community poll for an upcoming tribute episode. This is about clarity, consistency, and making sure every show has the space it deserves. #FlickFlops #GoodFilmHunting #MovieTalk #FilmDiscussion #ChannelUpdate

  5. Episode 154 - Flick Flops Holiday Review - Krampus (2015)

    2025. 12. 27.

    Episode 154 - Flick Flops Holiday Review - Krampus (2015)

    This week we’re getting horny for the holidays as we unwrap Krampus, the 2015 horror/comedy directed by Michael Dougherty and starring Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, and Allison Tolman. When a dysfunctional family’s Christmas spirit collapses faster than a mall Santa on his lunch break, they accidentally summon a shadowy Alpine demon who punishes the naughty—not with coal, but with nightmare fuel. So did this holiday horror-comedy slay the sleigh, or did Krampus just leave us feeling frostbitten and frustrated? #Krampus #MichaelDougherty #AdamScott #ToniCollette #DavidKoechner #AllisonTolman #HorrorComedy #ChristmasHorror #HolidayMovies #MonsterMovie #CultHorror #DarkComedy #SeasonalScares #MovieReview #FlickFlopsPodcast 📀 Release Details Title: KrampusYear: 2015Director: Michael DoughertyWriter(s): Michael Dougherty, Zach Shields, Todd CaseyTop Billed Stars: Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Allison TolmanRunning Time: 98 minutesCountry of Origin: United StatesOfficial Release Date(s): • November 30, 2015 (Los Angeles premiere) • December 4, 2015 (U.S. wide release) 🎬 Background & Interesting Details Folklore roots: Krampus is based on a real European Christmas demon from Alpine folklore, traditionally portrayed as punishing misbehaving children—often depicted carrying chains, bells, or sacks for abducting the wicked.Director pedigree: Michael Dougherty is a massive monster nerd, previously co-writing X2 and Superman Returns, before later directing Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019).Practical effects love: Many of the creatures—like the Jack-in-the-Box, gingerbread men, and the deranged toys—were done with practical effects and animatronics, giving the film an old-school Gremlins-style vibe.Tone tug-of-war: The movie intentionally walks a tightrope between horror and comedy, which has made it divisive—some viewers love the pitch-black humor, others want it scarier or funnier, but not both.Holiday subversion: Beneath the monsters and mayhem, the film is openly cynical about consumerism, family dysfunction, and hollow holiday traditions. 🎥 Other Projects (Writer / Director / Main Leads) Michael Dougherty (Director/Writer): • Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) • Trick ’r Treat (2007) • Co-writer on X2: X-Men UnitedAdam Scott: • Parks and Recreation • Severance • Step BrothersToni Collette: • Hereditary • The Sixth Sense • Little Miss SunshineDavid Koechner: • Anchorman • The Office • Talladega NightsAllison Tolman: • Fargo (Season 1) • Good Girls • Emergence Social Links: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tummytwins instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flickflopspod/ X: https://twitter.com/flickflopspod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tummytwinsmedia Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/flickflopspodcast

    Episode 152 - Flick Flops Holiday Review - Trapped in Paradise (1994)

    This week we get Trapped in Paradise and discuss the 1994 comedy written and directed by George Gallo. Nicolas Cage, Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey star in this holiday heist as three ex-cons who rob a tiny Pennsylvania bank on Christmas Eve. Did we enjoy our stay with Cage and friends or did this festive fiasco leave us wishing we could escape town too? #TrappedInParadise #GeorgeGallo #NicolasCage #JonLovitz #DanaCarvey #ChristmasCrimeComedy #HolidayHeist #MovieReview #FlickFlopsPodcast #90sMovies Release Details • Title: Trapped in Paradise • Year: 1994 • Director: George Gallo • Writer(s): George Gallo • Top-Billed Stars: ○ Nicolas Cage as Bill Firpo ○ Jon Lovitz as Dave Firpo ○ Dana Carvey as Alvin Firpo • Running Time: 111 minutes • Country of Origin: United States • Official Release Date(s): December 2 1994 (USA) Background & Interesting Details • The film was both written and directed by George Gallo, which gave the project a single creative vision. • It was produced by 20th Century Fox. • The town of “Paradise, PA” serves as a charming but improbable setting for a bank-heist holiday film, which critics picked up on as part of the film’s tonal mismatch. • Critical reception was overwhelmingly negative: for example, famed critic Roger Ebert wrote that the film “fights a tendency to come to a dead halt every five minutes” and essentially missed its comedic beats. • Despite poor box office (approximately US $5.8 million in the U.S. per some sources) and bad reviews, it has developed something of a cult following among fans of quirky holiday films. • Filming locations included parts of Ontario, Canada (Niagara-on-the-Lake, Elora) and some New York staging according to international descriptions. • Interesting production note: Casting Carvey and Lovitz (both known primarily for stand-up/SNL-style comedy) alongside Nicolas Cage (dramatic actor) created a tonal mismatch that many believe contributed to the film’s uneven feel. Other Projects (Writer/Director/Main Leads) • George Gallo: Known for writing Midnight Run (1988) and Bad Boys (1995). • Nicolas Cage: Key past projects include Leaving Las Vegas (1995), Face/Off (1997). • Jon Lovitz: Stand-up comedian, former SNL cast member; film roles include Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). • Dana Carvey: Also ex-SNL; notable film/TV work includes Wayne’s World (1992) and The Church of What’s Happening Now?!

    2025. 12. 13.

    Episode 151 - Flick Flops Holiday Review - The Ref (1994)

    This week we submit to arbitration with The Ref, Ted Demme’s 1994 holiday hostage comedy starring Denis Leary, Judy Davis, and Kevin Spacey as the most dysfunctional trio to ever share a Christmas Eve. When a burglar ends up trapped in a house with a family who arguably needs more help than he does, chaos - and some brutally honest therapy - ensues. But did this dark holiday madness cure the onset of our winter blues or is The Ref just the loudest Christmasshole in the room? #TheRef #DenisLeary #KevinSpacey #TedDemme #JudyDavis #ChristmasMovie #DarkComedy #90sMovies #HolidayFilms #MovieReview #FilmAnalysis #CultClassic #ChristmasComedy #FlickFlopsPodcast Release Details Title: The RefYear: 1994Director: Ted DemmeWriter(s): Marie Weiss, Richard LaGraveneseTop Billed Stars: Denis Leary Judy Davis Kevin Spacey Glynis Johns Raymond J. BarryRunning Time: 96 minutesCountry of Origin: United StatesOfficial Release Date(s): March 9, 1994 (USA) Background & Interesting Details Ted Demme’s breakout film: While he worked heavily in MTV programming before this, The Ref helped solidify his emergence as a feature director. Dark comedy vs. Christmas expectations: The studio struggled to market a movie that was both a holiday film and a caustic marital satire. Over time, it found its audience on cable and home video. Script origins: Writers Marie Weiss and Richard LaGravenese (who also wrote The Fisher King) originally constructed the story as a more serious dramatic hostage scenario before leaning fully into comedy. Judy Davis improvised many lines: Her high-strung performance as Caroline is partly thanks to Davis riffing on-the-fly, which meshed perfectly with Leary’s abrasive comedy style. Leary’s stand-up persona shaped Gus: His rapid-fire ranting was so aligned with the character that some lines were rewritten to fit his cadence. Filming location: Though set in Connecticut, much of the production took place in Toronto, a common mid-90s cost-saving choice. Glynis Johns (the grandmother) is the same actress who played Winifred Banks in Mary Poppins. Cult revival: In the last decade, The Ref has been rediscovered as an offbeat holiday staple for people who love sarcastic, dysfunctional-family Christmas movies. Controversy: Kevin Spacey’s later scandals haven’t affected the film’s cult status much—many fans still revisit it as a sharp comedic ensemble piece. The dinner scene choreography: The climactic dinner sequence took days to shoot because of the number of overlapping insults, blocking, and timing.
