The Peach Pit, with Hallie!

Stuart brings back the world’s most popular Flop House after-show, hosted by one of the hosts of The Flop House, and this time Hallie’s here (her presence makes more sense when you realize that we taped next week’s full episode with her first, but this one was the first to release). This time, Stu asks The Flop House gang about their experiences with live shows, with some diversions into Dan, Elliott, and Hallie’s tenure as writers for The Daily Show!

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy

Shocktober threatens to break the bounds of the fall, with this unexpected incursion into August. This aggression will not stand! Watch yourself, Shocktober! Anyway, on this episode we discuss The Mummy. The one with Brendan Fraser? No. The one with Tom Cruise? No. The one with Boris Karloff? No, silly, LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY. He wrote his name on it with Sharpie before putting it in the fridge!

The Master of Disguise LIVE

Way back in the winter we stopped by SF Sketchfest to discuss the film that gave us the mental image of Dana Carvey in a turtle suit, solemnly remembering the victims of 9/11 — THE MASTER OF DISGUISE. Join us as we discuss the astounding/sometimes racist adventures of Pistachio Disguisey! And thank you to the wonderful folks at Cobb’s Comedy Club for hosting us yet again!

Dan Explains Jem

Proving that Stuart’s not the only one who can do a lore deep dive, Dan takes us on a tour of one of his more oddball obsessions, the 1985 cartoon series Jem, and it’s one of our longest minis ever. Truly, truly, truly outrageous!

The Bride! with Kenice Mobley

Oftentimes on The Flop House we wind up watching Hollywood movies that are just kind of dull or mediocre or unimaginative. The Bride!… is not one of those. For all its flaws, it’s at least a bona fide personal vision that also happens to be a fiasco. And you know what? That’s kind of heartwarming. We’re joined by Kenice Mobley to dissect (ha) the many parts that make up The Bride!

Tops and Flops

Stuart takes us on a tour of several significant movie directors, asking Dan and Elliott to guess which of their works are top rated on IMDb and which ones take the bottom slot, and discussing whether the rankings are justified.

Wuthering Heights

Emerald Fennell took one of the classic works of literature most beloved by horny youth and said, “But what if I took out the subtlety?” It actually made quite a lot of money at the box office, but did it work for the Flop House? Guess you’ll have to listen to find out. (See, Emerald? That’s how you TEASE.)

Pride

Our old friend Alonso Duralde, who literally wrote the book on LGBTQ+ representation in the movies, stops by to the Flop House to ask three cis hetero guys, “Hey, what was the first queer representation YOU remember seeing on film?”

The Mandalorian and Grogu, with Will Hines

It’s a rare “Flop House in the Aisles,” as we took to the theater to see the tepidly-received (though still wildly successful) latest Star Wars thing, THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU. It’s got a li’l green guy in it! How bad could it be? And for a very special episode, we needed a special guest — the talented actor and improvisor Will Hines, returning to the show after a seventeen year absence! See you in another 17 Will! (JK, why would we do that?)

Birthday Movies

It’s established lore that, growing up, Dan mostly got to see movies in the theater on his birthday, as a special treat. But what were those movies? And if you had limited birthday bucks (TM) to spend, were those movies BIRTHDAY-WORTHY?

Dreamcatcher, with Evan Dorkin

In 2003, legendary director Lawrence Kasdan teamed with legendary screenwriter William Goldman, for a big-budget adaptation of a novel by legendary horror novelist Stephen King. And the result was… also legendary. But for different reasons than they might have hoped. On this episode, legendary (at least to us!) comics artist and writer Evan Dorkin joins us to discuss one of the most inexplicable flops of the 2000’s — DREAMCATCHER!

Return to Silent Hill, with Steven Kostanski

Max Fun Drive 2026 is over, and normally we’d be back to our “one full ep one mini” schedule, but we had too many good guests lined up, so you’re getting another maxi this week AND next. That’s why they call us Peaches. (Editor’s note: there’s no particularly good reason we’re called The Peaches.) First up, our pal/amazing movie director/special effects wizard Steven Kostanski joins us to discuss a movie he kinda liked: RETURN TO SILENT HILL. Will the rest of us agree?

40 Days and 40 Nights

We close out Max Fun Drive 2026 with some true pain. Stuart’s proclaimed “least favorite movie,” 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS, a supposed “sexy romcom” that’s actually a melange of unfunny shenanigans, poisonous attitudes, nothing that resembles actual human behavior, and (trigger warning) some unacknowledged sexual assault. It’s… a lot. But at least it led to a funny episode — like a flower, blooming from a pile of shit.

Feardotcom

We’re in the swing of Max Fun Drive 2026, and for “Dan’s pick” of our 3 special MFD episodes, he’s taking us back to 2002 when the internet felt new and we were all logging on to FEARDOTCOM, or — more accurately — feardotcom.com (just listen to the episode). Join us as we surf the fear-web!

Exit to Eden

For Max Fun Drive 2026 (starting this Monday 4/20) the Peaches issued a fiendish challenge to one another — we each get ONE pick to bedevil the others with, and Stuart starts us off with a doozy: 1994’s EXIT TO EDEN. It started out as an erotic BDSM novel by Anne Rice, so clearly the best person to bring the heat was Garry Marshall, known for such previous Flop House faves as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. So climb on board the sex boat and take a ride with us to sex island as we dissect this wild misfire.

Episode #477

Mercy

AI is bad, except maybe it’s not, maybe AI will help you solve the murder of your wife before it executes you for the murder of its wife… wtf is Mercy saying, anyway? Maybe it’s saying if you put your hero in a chair for 100 minutes your movie will feel inert. Especially if Chris Pratt is that hero? Hard to say, but we do our best to untangle one of the silliest flops of the year.

Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie

“What’s the Bratz of the 2020’s?” we asked ourselves, chasing that ultimate Bratz high. “Could it be Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie?” While perhaps not reaching those lofty heights, this was nearly as bonkos as reviews suggested it would be — a psychedelic fantasia filtered through a combination Hello Kitty/candy store. The movie was not meant for us, but we had a fun time talking about it.

Ella McCay

On this episode, we discuss ELLA MCCAY, which — based on its poster — is a movie about a woman having trouble with her shoe. Hmn. That can’t be right. Well, whatever it’s about, it’s made by the legendary James L. Brooks, so we can be sure it’ll have a clear plot, strong themes, and a comprehensible emotional throughline!
