Flop Doctors
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 complete, they welcome Mr. Gyllenhaal into their office, giving him direct and actionable advice to follow - ideas ranging from one-sentence commands to full-fledged movie pitches built from the ground up. Is Jake too bizarre to be a romantic lead again? Deep down, do we wish we could quit him? Possibly, but that’s why the Flop Doctors picked him…and as entrepreneur Lou Bloom would say, “why you pursue something is equally as important as what you pursue"
