2025/11/22

"The One with Michael Shanks?" What is this, a FRIENDS episode?!? (Thank you, producer Alex, for that joke.) No -- in this episode we welcome writer/director/FX artist/actor/man with impeccable taste in podcasts, Michael Shanks, all the way from his home in Australia, to discuss his nostalgia pick, 2001's The One, starring Jet Li!

The Flop House ·

2025/11/15

We welcome the man who brought us to the Maximum Fun network, Mr. Jesse Thorn, to the show this week. And how did we repay him? We made him watch Smurfs. We never said life is fair. Anyway, of all the Smurfs movies in the world, this will definitely go down as "the one with Rihanna and James Corden."

Boo! Hahahha, gotcha! It's SHOCKTOBER, when all the ghouls and ghosties and ghremlins and ghrim reapers come out to scare us! And at The Flop House it's our traditional all-horror month!

Episode #461 – An Easter Bunny Puppy

The Flop House ·

2025/09/27

From the (?)genius(?) that brought us the legendary A Talking Cat!?! comes another tale of a talking animal and the humans who live with him in a California porn-shoot-mansion, doing mundane things in scenes that take way too long, in-between luxurious establishing shots and footage of people driving. It’s the absolutely bonkos Smallvember new classic, […]

Episode #460 – Lumina, with Ashlie Atkinson

The Flop House ·

2025/09/13

It's Smalltember (Elliott pops into frame to say "Smallvember!") -- that special time of year when we allow ourselves to stray from big Hollywood movies to examine some tinier, more idiosyncratic pictures. And boy howdy is Lumina idiosyncratic! So we welcomed actor Ashlie Atkinson (The Gilded Age, The Lost Bus, Mr. Robot and much more) to help decipher the madness!

Episode #459 – War of the Worlds (2025)

The Flop House ·

2025/08/30

It's rare that a movie gets embraced as a new classic in badness as quickly as Amazon's War of the Worlds, but hey -- they're known for their fast delivery. Maybe they're just the future of bad movies, "disrupting" the bad movie space with their boldly incompetent visions! We discuss the (overwhelmingly listener-requested) new WotW!

FH Mini 134 – Wrap-Up Raps

The Flop House ·

2025/08/09

Back in the 80s and 90s, movies LOVED to end with a rap song that went over the plot to the movie you just saw. On this mini, Dan quizzes Stu and Elliott about some examples of wrap-up raps, followed by discussion questions to really dig into this particular cinematic-musical form.

Episode #457 – Red One, with Linda Holmes

The Flop House ·

2025/08/02

Elliott had to dip out for an episode, so... how do you replace a troublemaking little scamp? How about: with the comforting, easy presence of Linda Holmes? We deserve a vacation too, y'know? And in this episode, we make good on a promise from Linda's last appearance -- to have her back to discuss that hearty slice of Christmas "content," Red One. Back then, Linda sounded surprisingly fond of it. Is she still? Will the two extant Peaches agree?

FH Mini 133 – Cinematic Cities

The Flop House ·

2025/07/26

We all know movies where “it’s like the city is another character,” and we understand what that means when a location has a big personality like New York, Tokyo, or Paris… but what about the more unknown cities out there? Elliott helps us brainstorm some filmic personalities for less-heralded locations Tickets for Flop TV Season […]

The Flop House ·

2025/07/19

It’s a testament to how generally good (or at least passable) the MCU films have been, that there have been 36 of them released, but this is only the second one we’ve covered. What makes Captain America: Brave New World so (anti-) special? You’ll have to listen to find out! Download the MP3 directly, HERE Paste https://feeds.simplecast.com/EOAFriME into […]
