It's a comic sunshine noir about an actual pool-maintaining Poolman, played (and written/directed) by fave Chris (Pine), who finds himself tangled in a criminal conspiracy... or maybe he's just whacked-out and paranoid? We're joined in this pool party by one of our most beloved returning guests, Mr. Josh Gondelman -- check out his new stand-up special, available for free, right now!Wikipedia page for PoolmanRecommended in this episode:Dan: I Like Movies (2022)Stu: 28 Years Later (2025)Elliott: Nightcrawler (2014), Devil in a Blue Dress (1995), Mulholland Drive (2001)Head to squarespace.com/FLOP for a free trial, and when you’re ready to launch, use OFFER CODE: FLOP to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.

Maybe those will be good!Wikipedia page for Love HurtsRecommended in this episode:Dan: Summer of 69 (2025)Stu: The Order (2024)Elliott: Pee-wee as Himself (2025)
