The Flop House: Episode #48 - The Chaos Experiment

Flop House's annual SHOCKTOBER celebration concludes with the most obscure movie we've ever tackled (and that includes Memory)--a ecologically-minded Saw knockoff called... The Chaos Experiment. Meanwhile Dan sets himself up for one-upmanship failure, Elliott explains why some topless scenes are created less equal than others, and Stuart struggles with technologically-induced laryngitis.

0:00 - 0:56 - Introduction, APOLOGY, and theme
0:57 - 4:00 - The return of Dan's least favorite reoccurring segment.
4:01 - 41:41- Dan, Stu, and Elliott make vicious fun of a movie you've never heard of, giving the lie to their claim that they're too nice to kick a film when it's down.
41:42 - 44:53- Final judgments
44:54 - 51:54 - Our second and final SHOCKTOBER sad bastards recommend of 2009.
51:55 - 55:00 - Plugs, goodbyes, theme and outtakes.

The Flop House: Episode #47 - The Unborn

Flop House's annual SHOCKTOBER celebration begins with the only horror movie we can think of featuring a dybbuk: The Unborn. Perhaps writer/director David Goyer should have learned the old vaudeville lesson--words with a K are funny (not scary). Meanwhile Stuart reveals his complete ignorance of celebrity scandals, Elliott shows how he passed the bar in Ape Law, and Dan admits we basically choose movies based on whether they have a panty shot in the poster.*

0:00 - 0:34 - Introduction and SPOOKY theme
0:35 - 2:27 - The usual off-topic nonsense up front.
2:28 - 30:44- Finally, the pro-abortion, anti-holocaust, Jewish demon story you've been waiting for! The Unborn.
30:45 - 34:04- Final judgments
34:05 - 39:29 - Movie Mailbag
39:30 - 47:11 - A special SHOCKTOBER sad bastards recommend (the first two links aren't horror movies, but the rest are).
47:12 - 48:37 - Goodbyes, theme and outtakes.

UPDATED: I forgot to post the link to Colin's movie monologue site (as promised in the show) with his kind words about our podcast. I'm sure he won't mind the delay, since his link gets prime, ass-adjacent real estate. Thanks, Colin.

The Flop House LIVE at the UCB Theater New York

Hey everyone who checks this blog in-between new podcast episodes* and also lives in New York City and also doesn't mind going to a comedy show at midnight (we realize this is an ever-shrinking segment of our audience) -- the Flop House is gonna do a LIVE appearance at the UCB theater in New York on Saturday, October 10.**


So come on out to Andy Rocco's Hipster Show, and see the Flop House in person. Is Stuart's penis as big as he claims? Does Elliott walk around with his Emmy around his neck, like we say on the show? Is Dan the devilishly handsome, snappily-dressed, raw sexual magnet that you're probably imagining? Is it true that Dan is the one who updates this website? There's only one way to find out.

*Sorry about the short notice. We weren't sure this was happening until this week, anyway, which is why we didn't have time to announce it on the show.

**This is also Dan's wedding anniversary, but his wife is still letting him spend part of the evening talking about bad movies in a basement theater. Dan's wife is a very nice lady.
