Congratulations, fans! You saw our hidden messages and you cracked the code. Conflopity Gate is real! Before the Doctors return from sabbatical, evaluating an entirely new slate of patients for care, they do something they’ve never done before: the autopsy of a terminal flop. They're exhuming the final season of everyone’s favorite kids-on-bikes streaming content, STRANGER THINGS. Call them Captain Hindsight, but they can’t resist the urge to outdo the dynamic duo with the least dignifi...

LOST TAPES: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
SURPRISE! From deep within the archives comes a Flop Doctors LOST EPISODE, recorded before anything else in their season, in the ancient age predating Henry’s discovery of how microphones work. The audio is DIY, but even fresh out of medical school the Doctors were at the top of their game. His body. His pad. His ride. His family. His church. His boys. His girls. His flop era. That’s right, the Doctors cut their teeth on the Don himself, John Robin Blake, and the only one who knows the...

The Four Chrises: Endgame
This week, Clare & Henry deliver the grand finale of their first season of Flop Doctors. After a brief sojourn into... the future (???) they launch right back into their ruthless examination of the remaining two Chrises - the consensus Best Chris (Pine) and famously the democratically elected Worst Chris (Pratt). Did you know that Chris Pine directed a movie that was too bad for his famous friends to pretend they liked it? Or that Chris Pratt starred in an Amazon show where he clear...

The Four Chrises: Infinity War
This week Clare & Henry up the ante, welcoming a clown car of so-called "leading men" into their office for a much needed check-up. We've got Boston Boy Evans, "Oops, All Muscles!" Hemsworth, Poolman Pine, and (alleged) Republican Pratt. The Flop Doctors have many firsts in this ep - their first on-mic argument, the first time they've prescribed making an Obama Hope-style poster, and (gasp!) their first...twist ending? Tune in to hear the first part of our epic season finale to see ...

American Idol
This week, Clare & Henry welcome writer and musician Spencer Nachman for an examination of the former cultural behemoth that introduced us to icons such as pop star Kelly Clarkson, Smash actress Katherine McPhee and Christmas-cover playlist heavyweight David Archuleta… that’s right. the Timeslot Death Star itself, American Idol. You may be asking - how can it be in its flop era if it’s not on anymore? Well, the answer is that it is. Previous patient Katy Perry left the judges’ lineup *las...

Katy Perry
Clare and Henry roll up their sleeves and dive into the floppiest artist of the cultural moment, the California Gurl, the self-professed Internet's Most-Hated Woman...that's right, Canada's Stepmom herself, Katy Perry. Calling Katy's arc a flop era feels a little too small - the Flop Doctors diagnose a pattern that began when Obama was President, meaning she may be the first person to rule over a full-blown Flop Dynasty. Your children and your children's children are like to hear the tales of...

Ariana DeBose
Clare & Henry enter triage as they track the sudden breakthrough and subsequent stumbles of Ariana DeBose, an Academy Award winner whose IMDb credits will have you asking “was her Oscar enchanted by a malevolent witch?”, “didn’t that movie make multiple corporations shutter their film divisions?”, and finally “good god, what ever shall the Flop Doctors do?” But our intrepid duo has a secret…they *love* Ariana DeBose. So for as harsh as they can be on some of the inadvisable projects she’s...

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Writer/journalist/Marvel Unlimited subscriber John DiLillo joins Clare & Henry for a rigorous survey of Kevin Feige’s favorite child, The Marvel Cinematic Universe. In my best Jeff Probst: 36 movies, 12 streaming series, and only one real acting award nomination! How much homework do I need to do before these movies? Does Robert Downey Jr. have billions in debt? Why is Kelsey Grammar here? These aren’t just things Gwyneth Paltrow will whisper to her assistant at the premiere of Avengers: ...

Jake Gyllenhaal
Henry and Clare take a look at one-time Academy Award Nominee Jack Nasty, hoping to get a read on how one of the most promising actors of the 21st century ended up shilling an Amazon Prime remake of Swayze’s Road House. Along the way, they touch on topics as varied as the famous red scarf, Manosphere GIFs, big ol’ bugeyes, Stupid Human Suits, the Altman-esque ensemble cast of Everest, and the unshakeable horror of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’s Child Catcher. When their historical survey is comple...

Amy Adams
This episode, Henry and Clare dive deep into the multifaceted career of the People’s Disney Princess AKA the Susan Lucci of the Oscars AKA the Nightbitch herself - the one and only Amy Adams. The two hosts tackle difficult but necessary questions, such as: Can a Night at the Museum sequel create a sex symbol? Have Americans properly reckoned with the Hicksploitation JD Vance biopic on Netflix? Should Amy have been given an Oscar for keeping a straight face during her three scenes in Dea...
