The future — the movie budget salary caps have melted, and the very expensive scenery is deep beneath the waves. The survivors discuss these disasters on recordings known as "Podcasts" in this place called...Flick Flops. Brave podcasters voyage in search of whether or not an expensive, pretty, and dumb movie deserves the reputation it's gotten. But the Universal Studios stunt show, a far superior and shorter version, is determined to be the only thing about this movie audiences remember. They've ensured that no two people would dare sit through over two hours of Kevin Costner glowering at everyone while the money literally goes up in flames in the background ... until now.

How do you follow up on a moving, intense, and oh so sad deconstruction of the American Dream? You hit all the beats again but make it a Looney Tunes cartoon in the Ol' West! It's about as good as it sounds. For better or worse. Join us as we follow our young, mouse hero who's learned absolutely nothing as he encounters scenery-chewing villains, plenty of OH NO moments, and a subplot involving the bond between a cat and another mouse that's far more interesting than anything else in this movie. And most surprisingly, a moving swan song for the one and only Jimmy Stewart. Get ready to give your best flying AHH as we dive into 1991's Fievel Goes West!
