On Thanksgiving Break

The Flop House is taking the weekend off to gather together and ask the lord's blessing. Why? 'Cause he hastens and chastens, natch. We'll be back next week with either a full length episode or a movie minute. In the meanwhile, enjoy this clip from A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

Episode #27 - 27 Dresses

It's the 27th episode, and we're discussing 27 Dresses. Coincidence? Yes. We're neither that clever nor that well-planned. But enjoy as our chick flick discussion leads us to make several lazy jokes based on gender stereotypes that we don't believe, because we are also hacks. Meanwhile, Stuart does his Josh Brolin impression, Elliott gives a fun fact about Japanese brides, and an innocent remark by Dan turns into a horrifying sexual come-on.

0:00 - 0:32 - Introduction and theme.
0:33 - 2:15 - Facial hair is much discussed.
2:16 - 32:22 - We talk about the Katherine Heigel rom-com 27 Dresses, and show our affinity for the material by staying on-topic almost never. Also: boobs.
32:23 - 36:30 - Final judgments, in which 27 Dresses manages to SHATTER the Flop House categories.
36:31 - 46:17 - The sad bastards recommend. Plus, we learn another famous person Elliott has had tangential interactions with. And also: even more boobs.
46:18 - 48:46 - November-December is Flop House listener pledge drive season - but you don't have to pay us in cash-- just recruit new listeners.
48:47 - 51:30 - We write the great lost sex comedy, "Lustache."
51:31 - 52:55 - Goodbyes, theme, outtakes, and a whole heck of a lot more boobs.

As promised, here are the photos of Stuart and his new mustache. Send us your opinions of who Stuart looks like to theflophousepodcast (at) gmail (dot) com.















The glare from Stu's mustache is enough that even he must squint.



















Stuart is the thoughtful king of bad movies, adjudicating like Solomon of old.

Episode #26 - 88 Minutes

It's a new day in America, and what better way to celebrate the first African-American president than with Al Pacino's thriller 88 Minutes? What, you don't understand why that's appropriate? Maybe that's because you're racist. Meanwhile, Dan makes a baldfaced plea for sponsorship, Elliott proves his facility with numbers (as long as they're in the titles of movies), and the ghost of Stuart looms large over the episode.

0:00 - 0:30 - Introduction and theme.
0:31 - 5:02 - We explain why we're the dynamic duo this week, and talk about how much we miss Stuart. Also: we engage in the name-droppiest name dropping yet, as Elliott tells the story of the time he met PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMA.
5:03 - 32:52 - We talk about 88 Minutes, the movie that is a worse example of real-time filmmaking than Nick of Time, and a far worse example of post-mortem semen-swapping than Presumed Innocent.
32:53 - 37:25 - Final judgments, plus a brief side-track into dream analysis.
37:26 - 45:43 - The sad bastards recommend.
45:43 - 46:32 - We talk about Stuart some more. Jeez! Why don't us guys get a room, already!
46:33 - 49:03 - Goodbyes, theme, and outtakes.

The Flop House is Taking Halloween Off

We're taking a little break, thanks to the convergence of Halloween, Stuart being out of town on business, and Elliott being all tied up with satirizing the election (vote on Tuesday, people!) so there's no new show this week.

However, in honor of the holiday, please enjoy these ghost hunting videos starring two of the Flop House co-hosts, plus some other guy -- Elliott (the small one), Dan (the medium-sized one), and some other guy/ Erik Marcisak (the big one). SPOOOOKY!

At Grant's Tomb (written by Elliott)



The Jersey Devil (written by Dan)



The Yeti of Williamsburg (written by Erik)
