Flop House Fan Art Corner

Flop House superfan Matt Carman came up with these horrifying images, depicting what the gang might look like in the hideous world of Delgo. Thanks (?) Matt, and know that if we end up dismembered in a ditch, with green makeup on, you're the first one the cops will visit.

"DANGO"










"ELLGO"

















"STUART WELLGO"

The Flop House is Taking Thanksgiving Off

No new show this week, but in the meantime why don't you enjoy this video from Flop House co-host Dan (and Flop guest host Matt Koff). You'll like it--it has a bunch of Thanksgiving stuff in it. And also vampires.

The Flop House: Episode #50 - Delgo

When a podcast reaches a certain age--say 50--it may find itself susceptible to a midlife crisis. It might buy itself a shiny red convertible mixing board. It may dump one of its hosts for a hot young blonde. Or maybe it just regresses, with an animated kid's film like Delgo. Meanwhile, Elliott tries out some of his Jabberjaw molestation jokes, Dan reveals the surprising owners of the Delgo website, and Stuart is having none of it.

0:00 - 0:34 - Introduction and theme
0:35 - 3:40 - We devote a little time to patting ourselves on the back for reaching fifty episodes.
3:41 - 28:51 - We celebrate our fiftieth anniversary by discussing Delgo, the movie most likely to inspire blank stares in our audience, followed by the phrase "What the fuck's a Delgo?." Maybe we'll get our shit together for the 100th.
28:51 - 29:58 - Pause for station identification
29:59 - 35:55 - Final judgments
35:56 - 40:40 - Flop House Movie Mailbag, plus some discussion of a wacky cross-country adventure.
40:41 - 47:40 - The sad bastards recommend.
47:41 - 49:19 - Goodbyes, theme and outtakes.

Apologies for the Delay

This week's movie minute will probably not be posted until tomorrow, as Dan was awoken at 4 am last night to the insistent doorbell-ringing of the police, who wanted to alert us that some assholes... er, I mean, tenants... left the apartment building doors wide open.

Thus, he is currently not in the mood to deal with the world, but he will be back to his regularly-scheduled producing duties soon.

The Flop House: Episode #49 - Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

Does the failure of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li mean we'll never get that long-awaited Blanka biopic? We fail to answer these and other questions. Meanwhile, Stuart discusses how thugs benefit from Outlook and multi-tasking, Elliott explains how this movie would be right at home in classic Hollywood, and Dan reveals he knows far too much about lesbian vampires.

0:00 - 0:37 - Introduction and theme
0:38 - 39:10- We dive right in and discuss a movie based on Chun-Li - a video game character that was only popular because preteen boys are too scared to talk to real girls.
39:11 - 40:10 - Final judgments
40:11 - 41:33 - A CONTEST WINNER ANNOUNCED, for the contest everyone (even the hosts) forgot was happening.
41:34 - 47:47 - The sad bastards recommend.
47:48 - 50:17 - Plugs, goodbyes, theme and outtakes.
50:18 - 51:17 - Station identification.
