# 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](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289437/). 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](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092074/) [sad](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0862856/) [bastards](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088044/) [recommend](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122136/) of 2009.
 51:55 – 55:00 – Plugs, goodbyes, theme and outtakes.
