Flop Doctors
Have you ever wondered why Amy Adams is sad in all her new movies? Why you don’t know the name of anyone who’s won American Idol since Bush left office? Why even the most passionate fans forgot about Marvel’s The Marvels? Never fear- the Flop Doctors (Professional Marketer/Woman with Bangs Clare Reynders and Writer/Comedian/Bald Socialite Henry Rosenbloom) have conducted case studies to lay it all out for you. Tune in to hear the histories of each Flop, followed by ideas big and small for what it may take to have a life after Flopping.

Flop Doctors
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 Trisha Paytas in the Woman's World video, Katy's makeup disintegrating in Zero G, maybe even the time she used her American Idol judge status to steal a boy's first kiss. Or perhaps there's another dynasty beyond this one, one in which Katy can wear her robot legs and spin her double-edged lightsabers with pride. Tune in to hear the Doctors' first-ever pop star consultation, complete with a very special intro from Henry, Clare knowing the lyrics to several forgotten Katy classics and a truly inadvisable amount of our producer Chase speaking from off-mic a dozen feet away.
