For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is White Collar Blues (1975), an Italian slapstick comedy constructed as a series of vignettes following a hapless accountant, Fantozzi, who finds himself in one outrageous situation after another, as life throws as many annoyances his way as possible, often focusing on the infuriating minutiae of an office-drone job within a faceless corporation. Reviews compare this to Office Space (1999), The Office (2005), and Dilbert, with some of Franz Kafka’s The Trial thrown in. This is considered a classic among Italians, at least, so let’s check it out. Director Luciano Salce also did this film’s various sequels, the first of which is almost as well-regarded as the original.

Next is Thunderbolts* (2025). Yes, it’s come to this: we’re watching a Marvel movie. Join Black Window substitute Yelena (Florence Pugh) as she overcomes her depression by assembling a band of second-string characters from other Marvel movies, who you may or may not remember. They fight bad guys. Reviews insist that this is an improvement over other recent Marvel slop, so fine, we’ll watch it. Director Jake Schreier is otherwise best-known for the streaming series Beef (2023) and the teen romance Paper Towns (2015).

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
