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. #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 has a recording or a bootleg, get in touch!Wikipedia entry for Godzilla vs. Kong.Movies recommended in this episode:The Wolf HouseButcher, Baker, Nightmare MakerShin GodzillaKing Kong EscapesA Colt is My Passport

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 the truly puzzling "mod superspy becomes caveman-styled new messiah" movie, The Final Programme.Wikipedia entry for The Final Programme.Movies recommended in this episode:The SpongeBob Squarepants MovieSlaxxBetween the Lines

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.

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:Lucky12 Hour ShiftThe DevilsBorn 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 MaudSynchronicDaisiesThe Ruling Class

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!
