# 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.

 0:34 – 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](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1198138/).
 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](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107715/) [of](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099856/) [sad](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102095/) [bastards](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338325/) [recom](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107505/)[mend](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110153/).
 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.
