FH 32 - The Underground Adventure
In the spirit of Stuart's tale about snakes, Dan shares some short fiction from his own childhood, filled with murder, moles, and an octopus with FANGS!
Episodes
The Flop House
The Flop House is a comedy podcast devoted to the worst in recent film. 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.
Episodes
Ep. #345 - Chaos Walking
It's just back to the OP's this episode, for the discussion of the talent-packed, but passion-lite YA adaptation Chaos Walking , which honestly seems like a pretty heart-healthy way for Chaos to travel, but maybe it should check out public transit. Wikipedia entry for Chaos Walking Movies recommended in this episode: Polyester Seance The Joke...
FH Mini 31 - Stu Sees Saws
Stu's always asking if we'd like to play a game, so it was probably only a matter of time before he'd turn to the topic of Saw. He recently ran the series, and wants to talk to Dan and Elliott about it. And what would any Saw-related media be without a twist? In this case, a radical shift in the episode after the ads. We hope you enjoy!
Ep. #344 - Mortal Kombat, with Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman
Comedy couple Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman of the Couples' Therapy podcast , and performing/writing/starring in many wonderful things join us to discuss Mortal Kombat and also mortal-ity, given how sick Dan sounds in this one.

FH Mini 30 - The Sleuth About Cats and Dogs
In honor of Housebroken , the TV show that's kindly employed Mr. Elliott Kalan for part of this lousy quarantine (premiering 5/31 on Fox), Elliott quizzes the others about their preferences, to determine Dan and Stu's perfect pop culture pets
Ep. #343 - North, with Matt Singer
Editor of ScreenCrush , Matt Singe r stops by The Flop House, and weirdly, he didn't want to talk about Gymkata . Instead, he forced us to experience North, the movie that Roger Ebert hated SO much that he named his book of bad movies after his review .

FH Mini #29 - Ask Us Anything

FH Mini #28 - McCoy Boy Talking Tubi to Tu-Boy and NYU-Boy Tonight All Right
Dan the game-master is back with another of his infernal quizzes -- this one focused on the delightful trash-heap that is Tubi.
Ep. #341 - Godzilla vs. Kong, with Zander Cannon
From the dawn of time, humankind has dreamed of watching a giant lizard wrestle a big ape. Well, now humankind has Godzilla vs. Kong . Did it live up to our dreams? We enlisted the creator of Kaijumax , Zander Cannon , to help untangle our thoughts, as we spin along on this hollow Earth. BTW: we know we promised you the Dark Phoenix live episode on our Twitter and IG, but technical issues stood in the way (those technical issues are that Dan somehow lost the file). In the unlikely event anyone h...
FH Mini #27 - Video Games Killed the Movie Star
Stuart tells us about the Hitman video games and the associated movies. At least, we think that's what this one is about. Honestly, it takes us a while to stay on topic.
Ep. #340 - The Final Programme, with Joel Hodgson and Matt McGinnis
The prophecy has been fulfilled. The Flop House got to sit down and discuss a bad movie with the godfather of "bad movie comedy" as a genre, Joel Hodgson , as well as Matt McGinnis , who works with Joel on a little show you may know as Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return -- and they would like to return AGAIN -- this time beholden to no network -- so please check out their just-announced Kickstarter for all-new episodes of MST3K ! ...but also please enjoy us trying to puzzle our way through...
Ep. #339 - Zack Snyder's Justice League TWO: Pt 4 - Epilogue
We round out our discussion of Zack Snyder’s Justice League with another (find the first ZS cut episode here , and our discussion of the theatrical cut here ). Now let us never speak of it again.
Ep. #338 - Zack Snyder's Justice League
Look, it was probably inevitable that we'd end up discussing Zack Snyder's Justice League , and we'll say this -- it is certainly the most Zack Snyder-y Justice League we've ever seen (check out of our discussion of the theatrical cut here ). In fact, it's SO Zach Snyder-y that it's four hours long... so we've split our ZSJL episode in TWO! That's double the discussion of this already over-discussed movie. YOU'RE WELCOME, WORLD! Wikipedia entry for Zack Snyder's Justice League . Movies recommend...
FH Mini 26 - Oscar Noms
Elliott gets us to talk about the Oscar nominations in the dumbest way possible.
Ep. #337 - Tom & Jerry
I don't know if this modern world has broken us, or what, but the clever podcast show notes just aren't flowing right now. This movie is bad and it should feel bad. Get the fuck outta here, Tom & Jerry . From hell's heart, we stab at thee. Wikipedia entry for Tom & Jerry . Movies recommended in this episode: Lucky 12 Hour Shift The Devils Born in Flames...
FH Mini #25 - Stuart Telly-ton
Stuart leads Dan and Elliott in a quiz game, which -- to the untrained eye -- might seem to just be an excuse to do goofy shit and talk about television.
Ep. #336 - Supergirl, with Glen Weldon
If we have Glen Weldon , co-host of the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast and author of the marvelous Superman: The Unauthorized Biography on as a guest, you'd better believe we're gonna go down one of the many fascinating cul-de-sacs in the "super" cinematic universe -- in this case 1984's " Supergirl ," or -- as we prefer to think about it -- The Adventures of Faye Dunaway's Fabulous Witch and Her Companions. Wikipedia entry for Supergirl . Movies recommended in this episode: Saint Maud Synchroni...
FH Mini #24 - Goofs Twofs
Insidious game-master Dan yet again challenges Stu and Elliott to a battle of wits, and unleashes a torrent of the movies' most embarrassing GOOFS!

Oof, y'all. Oooof. Hillbilly Elegy ? More like Who'll-Kill-Me Smellogy! Got 'em!

Hello from the Magic Tavern' s Arnie Niekamp joins the Peaches to talk about the long-anticipated, long-troubled, X-Men universe teen horror movie, The New Mutants ! PLEASE NOTE!

Ep. #333 - Wild Mountain Thyme
Faith and begorrah, sit right down laddies, lasses, and those not defined by the outdated gender binary, and we'll spin ye a tale of an emerald island far away, where no one talks like a real human, and all their problems are blarney. Tis a tale called Wild Mountain Time , and at least some in th' podcast think it's as barmy as Old McGarrigle's mule! Also, we’re doing a new Flop House VIRTUAL LIVE SHOW!

Ep. #332 - Primal
Cagemas comes but once a year! Unless, since this one is a little late, it will technically come twice this year, and none times last year. It's confusing. It's annual is what we're saying. We celebrate the work of Saint Nicolas Cage this time with a discussion of the snakes-on-a-boat-and-also-other-animals thriller Primal . And for an august occasion like this one, you need a special guest! So this episode we welcome hilarious sweetheart Josh Gondelman of Desus & Mero and his book Nice Try ....
FH Mini #20 - Novel Tees
We devote this mini entirely to the most obvious topic for a show being released the day after Christmas -- Big Johnson T-shirts.
Ep. #331 - Six Weeks, with Alonso Duralde
We've been wanting to get Alonso Duralde on the show for a while -- not only because he's the senior film critic for The Wrap , and not only because he's the host or co-host of a number of podcasts, including Max Fun's own Who Shot Ya? , but because he literally wrote the book on Christmas movies . So, of course, this holiday season he picked a movie that barely sort of has Christmas stuff in it -- the double-Moore weepie Six Weeks . THANKS FOR NOTHING, BUDDY! (jk - he's a delight.) Wikipedia sy...
Ep. #330 - Freaky, with Barbara Crampton
We break out of our normal format a bit for this BONUS EPISODE! How so? Well, #1, we watched a movie that we were all pretty sure we'd like (and, spoiler alert, we did) -- the body-swap horror-comedy " Freaky ," and #2, instead of doing letters and recommendations, we take a bit of extra time to talk to our guest about her long career. Who is that guest? The wonderful Barbara Crampton , star of legendary horror movies Re-Animator , From Beyond , You're Next , and a little movie that doesn't get ...
