The Flop House
MaximumFun, Dan McCoy, Stuart Wellington, Elliott Kalan
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.

Ep.#371 - The King's Daughter
What's this? An IN-PERSON episode? That's right! Elliott was in town to officiate a wedding, so we took a little time to get together in person and record an episode for y'all. And what movie did we pick for such a special occasion? How about something that showed up on basically every "worst movies" list of last year -- something that sat on the shelf for half a decade and has been in development for 4x that? You guessed it! We tackled Pierce Brosnan's Wig Party aka The King's Daughter!Wikipedia entry for The King's DaughterMovies recommended in this episodeBoardinghouseThe OutlawsNight NurseEver tried Microdosing?

Let the moon faaaallll / when it crumbuuuules / we will watch iiiiit / and all make fun together!

Ep. #369 - Venom: Let There Be Carnage
The Carnage that was teased at the end of Venom has arrived, albeit with much straighter, non-Ronald McDonald looking hair on Woody Harrelson's head. Cowards. But that's the ONLY part of Venom: Let There Be Carnage that's less goofy than the first one. Hear us dissect this movie like a symbiote eating a human head.Also, while Max Fun Drive is officially over, there's a weekend amnesty where you can get all the listener thank-yous and such. So this is officially-unofficially our last drive episode. If you can't afford it right now, that's totally fine -- this message is not for you.

Ep #367 - The Adam Project
Weirdly, a constantly-wisecracking Ryan Reynolds isn't less irritating when you add a child version of him making the same smug jokes. Are Netflix's widely-reported woes because they churn out dreck like The Adam Project?

Ep. #366 - Deep Water
The erotic thriller is back, baybee! Sure, it has more Ben Affleck gazing lovingly at snails than it used to, but you gotta expect that kind of wear and tear after leaving it in the garage for a couple of decades. This week, the peaches take on Adrian Lyne's direct-to-Hulu cuckold murder-stravaganza Deep Water.Wikipedia entry for Deep WaterMovies recommended in this episode:Video Diary of a Lost Girl -- If you want to be added to the mailing list for future screenings/ways to see, message the director through her instagram.Perfect BlueI Was a Simple Man
