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.

The Flop House

We've made it no secret that we at The Flop House are proud to have been included in the newly-published, The Podcast Pantheon: 101 Podcasts That Changed How We Listen. On this episode we welcome the author of that book, Sean Malin, to the show, to help us discuss the MOVIE pantheon, and which canonical films we could all live without.

FH Mini 138 - In the Pantheon

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, An Easter Bunny Puppy.

FH Mini 137 - Stuster's Millions

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!

FH Mini 136 - Doctors of Filmdom

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!

Ep.#458 - Snow White, with Rebecca Alter

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.

FH Mini 134 - Wrap-Up Raps

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?

Tickets for Flop TV Season 3 are ON SALE! It's our once a month (Sept-Feb) video livestream -- like a TV version of our show, but more so!

Though we've done our best to not let it disrupt the show, Elliott's a busy bee these days and had to sit this one out, so Dan took the rare opportunity of being able to finish his sentences to get to know his old pal Stuart a little better... but with a film-related twist.
