MaximumFun, Dan McCoy, Stuart Wellington, Elliott Kalanwww.flophousepodcast.com

Your hosts (Elliott Kalan, Dan McCoy, and Stuart Wellington) watch a questionable film, then engage in an unscripted discussion about the movie's shortcomings and occasional delights, while never being afraid of a pointless, silly digression or two hundred.
