On this episode we discuss, Gabby's Dollhouse, the movie.

Welcome to Flop House Jr., where kids rule and parents drool and homework is strictly off the menu,

because why prepare for a future when climate change and economic collapse will not allow you to have one?

Sobering.

Sobering intro.

It started fun, though. Hey, everyone to the Flop House. I'm Dan McCoy.

I'm Stuart Wellington.

I'm Elliot Kalan, writer of the new comic book, Barbarian Behind Bars, from Mad Cave Studios.

I bought the last one they had at Forbidden Planet, Elliot. Congratulations.

Thank you. A sellout. How many copies did they buy to begin with at Forbidden Planet?

Let's not get into those numbers. I don't get to look at their books.

The important thing is it sold out.

Already pre-ordered the eventual trade since, as you know, I'm not an issues, man. You're not a floppy guy? You do have a lot of issues, though. I do have so many issues. That's why I'm not trying to get any new ones, you know? Yeah, but from what I've heard, Dan is not a floppy guy, if you know what I mean. He is one of the hosts of the flop house. Well, you're right. Maybe he is a floppy guy. Oh, and I don't even know what I meant. Well, since none of us know what any of us mean, maybe we should move on to the meat of this show. This is a podcast where we watch a movie that was either a critical or a commercial flop,

and we talk about it. Or that just looks like it would be silly to talk about.

Yeah, yeah. You might think, why are three grown men talking about Gabby's Dollhouse,

the movie? I felt that way when I was sitting at home watching it by myself.

Sitting at home watching it by myself with the sing-along mode enabled.

Rarely have I watched something where it has been so clear from almost moment one.

This is not for me.

It's not meant for me.

Anything we have to say about it is it's not really a consumer really a consumer advocacy or like, we're not giving any information. It's not valid. Yeah. It's just for, for LARFs. Uh, and that was the thing about, I heard that this movie was nutty. And that was why I was kind of interested in checking it out. And it, it was not disappointed on the nuttiness factor. It was just processed in a facility that handles nuts. That's what they're in. It's actually not that nutty. And before we get into it, I think Stewart has the unenviable role of explaining this movie. There are a few times, actually, having said that when I watched it, I was like, this is not for me. There are a few times I've watched a flop-house movie that I've been more glad I am not on the phone story. Because this movie was like as if I was behind a pane of glass and someone was just throwing brightly colored balls at it. None of the balls reached me. They just bounced off the glass. That was this movie. I'm like, how can I? I can't even keep track of this. Never before have I felt more like,

Hey, Coast Bill trying to lasso a twister and ride it around as the movie kept shaking my attempts off.
