The Flop House

Dan McCoy

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.#437 - Megalopolis, with Roman Mars

    You KNEW this episode was coming, and we got to it as soon as we could! We discuss Francis Ford Coppola's defiantly personal, defiantly incomprehensible, personal-fortune-destroying Megalopolis! And for such a megaflopolis episode we enlisted the help of Roman Mars, a man who knows a thing or two about architecture and design, and who's currently co-hosting a podcast series with Elliott about The Power Broker, a book about Robert Moses (clearly an inspiration for Adam Driver's "what if Robert Moses but not totally evil" character)!

    FH Mini 115 - Ghosttesters, with Hallie Haglund

    Hallie may not have seen a ghost this Halloween season, but Elliott caps off Shocktober (a little late, in "no theme No-vember") by quizzing all of us about whether we've seen cinematic ghosts, in the course of our many Flop House viewings.

    Ep.#436 - Dear David, with Hallie Haglund

    Bad news first: we discussed Dear David, a horror movie based on a Twitter thread posted by a guy who used to do comics for Buzzfeed, released by "Buzzfeed Studios" -- a sentence that gives us a headache just to type. The good news? We're joined by Star of the Show, Hallie Haglund, whose ever-delightful presence inspires us all into a lot of giggle fits and silly bits!

    Episode #434 - Robot in the Family

    For our second Smalltember/Smallvember pick, we take on a film that Dan vetoed last year because he feared his fragile psyche could not take a repeat viewing, but -- like a bad giant golden robot -- it always turns up! Robot in the Family is its name, and it's a sustained 85 minute panic attack in the form of a low-budget 90's "family" comedy.

    Ep.#433 - Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders

    It's that time of year again! Smalltember (or Smallvember, if you're nasty)! For our kickoff "smaller" bad movie pick, we took a recommendation from our podcast network colleague, the esteemed Mr. Justin McElroy, and watched Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders, starring Flop House recurring offender, Jon Voight. It's a mashup of Clue and Saw that takes a turn you will not be expecting with those reference points. Take a listen, and unravel the mystery!

    Ep.#432 - IF, Live!

    From the visionary mind of John Krasinski, Stuart's number one favorite human, comes IF! It's a whimsical tale about how imaginary friends are real and we should have them even as adults, and if we decide to forget them, they'll die or something! Did this sit well with us? Probably not! But it led to one of our best live shows ever, so we hope you enjoy our pain.
