Scott Seiss (Angry Retail Guy, Cocaine Bear) and Monét X Change (Ru Paul's Drag Race) join Misha to dishonor the biggest losers of the year and to reaffirm there's no such thing as ""too big to fail.""

0:56.6 | Thank you. Folks, friends, distinguished guests, we're so proud and also very sorry to welcome you all to the first annual floppies, an award show highlighting the best, or should we say, worst, |
1:03.5 | flops of the year. The producers for Madam Webb are here. Hope the spiders were worth it, Mom. That's an actual line from the movie, in case you haven't seen it, and it's very likely |
1:08.8 | you haven't. I'm seeing lots of Boeing execs and |

2:21.0 | Dakota Johnson probably never doing superhero movies again. |
2:24.7 | His dawn knocked down the bar. |
2:28.9 | We are on a sinking ship. From Wondery and At Well Media, this is The Big Flop, where we chronicle the greatest flubs, fails, and blunders of all time. |
