Jul 22, 2023•58 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's a goddamn milestone -- 400 mainline episodes over 16 years of The Flop House! (And that's not counting all of the FH Minis, and the Movie Minutes of yore!) Thus, we took a break from our usual modus operandi of watching less-artistically-successful modern movies, and we treated ourselves with one of the classics of the bad movie canon (so much so that it's the topic of the extremely enjoyable documentary Best Worst Movie ). That's right: we're talking about TROLL 2 , the film that has absol...

Jul 08, 2023•1 hr 5 min•Transcript available on Metacast Is this the most popular, highest-grossing movie we've ever done? Possibly! We're too lazy to put in the legwork to check. Why don't YOU do it, for a school project about statistics or economics or some shit. Anyway, the point is, we used the "or CRITICAL flop" loophole (42 on Metacritc) so we could watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie . Don't at us. Or do, whatever, we're not your dad.

It's got a numerical title that sounds like a sports biopic and makes the title of this podcast episode look confusing! What more do you want?

May 27, 2023•48 min•Ep 397•Transcript available on Metacast We watch a film about four octogenarian women going to the Super Bowl, because apparently that's a full concept for a movie these days?

Mar 04, 2023•1 hr 6 min•Transcript available on Metacast Idris Elba is undoubtedly a great actor, a charismatic presence, and a handsome man par excellence, but... maybe he needs to fire his agent? After all, this is his EIGHTH appearance in a Flop House movie (possibly there were more; we didn't count that carefully), so it's fair to say that his movie roles have never quite matched up to his best work on TV, or his talents in general. Is Beast the one that will break the streak? He DOES punch a lion... Wikipedia page for Beast Movies recommended in ...
