We took a short break around Thanksgiving, which means YOU finally get to hear one of our LIVE episodes from Oxford’s inaugural Saint Audio Podcast Festival! We were extremely excited to finally do a show in the UK and see some listeners from across the pond, and — because we were in England — we HAD to talk about 1998’s The Avengers (aka “the non-Marvel-one), a legendary mega-flop and a despoiling of a beloved British TV series.

Episode #438 – Trap, with Linda Holmes

“But Trap wasn’t a flop!” you scream to the heavens. “Neither financially, nor critically!” you wail, desperately. “It made 83 million on a 30 million budget!

FH Mini 115 – Ghosttesters, with Hallie Haglund

Hallie may not have seen a ghost this Halloween season, but Elliott caps off Shocktober (a little late, in “no theme No-vember”) by quizzing all of us about whether we’ve seen cinematic ghosts, in the course of our many Flop House viewings.

Episode #436 – Dear David, with Hallie Haglund

Bad news first: we discussed Dear David, a horror movie based on a Twitter thread posted by a guy who used to do comics for Buzzfeed, released by “Buzzfeed Studios” — a sentence that gives us a headache just to type. The good news? We’re joined by Star of the Show, Hallie Haglund, whose ever-delightful […]
