Boo! Hahahha, gotcha! It’s SHOCKTOBER, when all the ghouls and ghosties and ghremlins and ghrim reapers come out to scare us! And at The Flop House it’s our traditional all-horror month! We kick off with 2024’s IMAGINARY, about the scariest thing in the world — an imaginary friend! And if you don’t believe us, watch that awful John Krasinski imaginary friend movie. We’re shivering just thinking about it!

We’ve made it no secret that we’re proud to have been included in the newly-published book, The Podcast Pantheon: 101 Podcasts That Changed How We Listen. On this episode we invited the author, Sean Malin, onto the show to help us discuss the MOVIE pantheon, and which canonical films we could all live without.

And boy howdy is Lumina idiosyncratic! So we welcomed actor Ashlie Atkinson (The Gilded Age, The Lost Bus, Mr. Robot and much more) to help decipher the madness!

Elliott provides a survey of cinema’s eponymous doctors, and asks us whether we’d trust them with our medical care.

It’s rare that a movie gets embraced as a new classic in badness as quickly as Amazon’s War of the Worlds, but hey — they’re known for their fast delivery. Maybe they’re just the future of bad movies, “disrupting” the bad movie space with their boldly incompetent visions! We discuss the (overwhelmingly listener-requested) new WotW!

Stuart takes us on a tour of the biggest summer releases of the past couple of decades.
