Surfer: Teen Confronts Fear

About this episode

Smalltember winds are blowing in, and this year the currents brought us a doozy. SURFER: TEEN CONFRONTS FEARhas already become a new bad movie classic, and we had a lot of fun(?) confronting this strange object that arrived at Flop House central like a beached whale. It's a metaphysical monologue! It's a stealth religious film! It's a military thriller! It's a surfing movie! It's a dad wasting his kid's time! It's a way to use up old home movies by sneaking them into your narrative film! It's all this and much more! FLOP TV SEASON FOUR'S BIG PREMIERE is tomorrow, 9/5! Go pick up a pass for individual episodes or the whole dang season! And if you live in the Louisville area and want to see us live NOT through your computer screen, come to our show at Whirling Tiger in September! Stay updated on all things Flop House, plus a little extra, with our NEWSLETTER, “Flop Secrets! And please give us a FIVE STAR REVIEW. For an aging show like ours, all the attention truly helps us keep and grow our audience! No Wikipedia page for Surfer: Teen Confronts Fear, but here's a Screen Slate article!
