451: Better Man, with Hallie Haglund

Episode 451

10th May 2025

Hallie Haglund joins the Flop House to discuss the “Robbie Williams as a CGI chimp” financial bomb Better Man!

Episode notes

Robbie Williams is a chimp. That’s not an insult, just an accurate description of Better Man, from the director of past Flop House subject, The Greatest Showman. This one’s the rare FH movie that was a critical success while being a financial flop — will we agree with the critics? Oh, and we buried the lede: HALLIE‘S BACK!
