- "On this episode of The Flop House we discuss Fireproof starring Kirk Cameron, America's number one religious star — if you don't count Mel Gibson."
Official Show Notes
- "Sometimes even the best of intentions, combined with a deep and abiding religious faith, can still result in a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad movie. We watch Fireproof. Meanwhile, Elliott reveals why he's so easily amused, Stuart reminisces about a nacho altercation, and Dan talks like a little girl (intentionally this time)."
Movie Summary
Premise
- “This is an hour and 58 minutes (I believe is the runtime on this) to tell a kitchen-sink story about a marriage in trouble — sort of trouble — then the husband decides to treat his wife nice for a change, and then things turn out all right.”
