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.

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 dignified name in Hollywood, The Duffer Brothers. Does Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi even want to act? Was it an Eighth Amendment violation to keep costuming the main kids Like That well into adulthood? Can an ending be so bad that it results in millions of iPad children concocting elaborate conspiracy theories that would make Karl Popper’s head spin?
Clare and Henry discuss all these questions and more as they recap what went wrong, brainstorm what could’ve been, and suggest prescriptions for the entire main cast and their Duffers in Chief. Is it a stretch to think that there’s an exciting path forward for some of these people? Possibly, but as they say… stranger things have happened.
