The Flop House: Episode #46 - Obsessed

How can an erotic thriller with horrible racial politics, starring Beyoncé Knowles, be what founding Flop House co-host Simon Fisher would call "a real snore factory?" Who knows, but somehow they managed it. Meanwhile, Stuart reveals a surprising fact about sex in public bathrooms, Elliott explains how Beyoncé is like a Looney Tunes character, and Dan decries the film's no-fault attitude to the sexual assault of Idris Elba.

0:00 - 0:33 - Introduction and theme
0:34 - 4:14- We engage in a hilarious bit about how everyone spent last weekend.
4:15 - 28:26- Race-baiting mixed with Fatal Attraction seems like a recipe for trashy film fun. And yet, count the times that Dan sighs wearily, while discussing Obsessed.
28:27 - 30:30- Final judgments
30:31 - 34:30 - Movie Mailbag
34:31 - 39:24 - Inspired by the final letter, we segue directly into a special older "bad movie" edition of sad bastards recommend.
39:25 - 43:37 - Which, in turn, devolves into a discussion of T&A comedies.
43:38 - 46:15 - A plug from Elliott, goodbyes, theme and outtakes.

The Flop House: Episode #45 - Skinwalkers

Sometimes you eat the Skinwalker, and sometimes the Skinwalker eats you. For our first ever five man podcast, we bring in some experts -- specifically, the authors of the book The Werewolf's Guide to Life: A Manual for the Newly-Bitten (available for purchase Tuesday, September 15) Bob Powers and Ritch Duncan. Perhaps they'll be able to explain this Navajo werewolf opus. Meanwhile, Dan is uncharacteristically lewd, Elliott reveals his unexpected martial arts skills, and Stuart discloses his secret identity as a vigilante stripper.

0:00 - 0:31 - Introduction and theme
0:32 - 3:58- We introduce our guests, lycanthropy activists Ritch Duncan and Bob Powers.
3:59 - 35:58 - What are "Skinwalkers?" Are they ancient legendary beasts? Are they sufferers of a terrible curse? Are they nudists? Or, perhaps they're just a way to tart up a lousy werewolf movie in Native American garb.
35:59 - 41:51- Final judgments
41:52 - 48:21 - The sad bastards recommend.
48:22 - 50:09 - Goodbyes, theme and outtakes.
