Episodes
Morbius, LIVE!
Covid has kept us from in-person live shows for more than two years, but last weekend we made our triumphant return at The Bell House in Brooklyn, and we hope to line up more soonish (in addition to keeping the odd streaming show)! What could possibly live up to that event status? Uh… how about a LIVING VAMPIRE? We discuss Morbius! Fangs to all who came out in person!
StuStu’s Podcast Adventure
Stuart tries to explain JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure to Dan and Elliott. Are they more confused afterward than they were at the beginning? Perhaps!
Short Circuit 2, with Ben Hosley
Episode 275 is ALIVE! We keep raiding Blank Check for some of our finest guest stars, which is why it was only a matter of time before we’d add “America’s finest film critic,” Ben Hosley, to that list. And Ben asked if he could do “that stupid robot movie from the 80’s,” and following a brief round of “Is THIS the Film?, Dan figured out that Ben was asking for Short Circuit 2. Thus it twas spake. Thus it came to pass.
Missed That Movie: Virtual Obsession
It may SOUND like a Cinemax film from the 90s, but Virtual Obsession was actually a 3-hour ABC television EVENT, starring Peter “Caterpillar Brow” Gallagher, Mimi Rogers, and Bridgette Wilson, and directed by Mick “I Know Stephen King” Garris. Will Dan be able to convince Stu and Elliott that they’re sad they missed it?
Firestarter (2022)
Somehow one of the most boring movies we’ve EVER covered on the show + Dan recovering from Covid-19 = an especially raucous episode of The Flop House. We suddenly remembered that we could watch horror movies during months that AREN’T October, so we decided to make the ultimate sacrifice to watch Firestarter — we signed up for Peacock. Did we regret it? Listen to find out!
Fourth Majure
We may not love the direction the country is headed right now, but at least the recent Independence Day holiday inspired this hilarious game from Elliott! Download the minisode directly HERE.…
Death on the Nile
The Mixed-Review House rolls on with Kenneth Branagh’s second outing as Hercule Poirot, Death on the Nile. It’s a character he seems committed to playing, despite seemingly having no particular understanding or affinity for the source material. But hey, at least he’s keeping the CGI pyramids industry in business!
The House House
Dan’s back in the driver’s seat for this mini, and he challenges Elliott and Stu to a game so insidious, it almost breaks the podcast.
Old
Despite its relative financial success and reviews that are more “mixed” than bad, M. Night Shyamalan has become such a FH all-star, that we had to check out Old: The Beach that Olds People. (As Dan is fond of saying, “Don’t get hung up on our name.”) Unsurprisingly, it gave us a ton to chew on. Please don’t be mad at us just cause we don’t think it’s a masterpiece, Blank Check buddies. Maybe y’all should skip this one. Everyone else in the world — enjoy!
Missed That Movie! Night of the Juggler
Elliott takes us on another journey through a movie ONE of us have seen, but the others haven’t — in this case, the gritty crime thriller Night of the Juggler, a movie completely devoid of juggling.
The King’s Daughter
What’s this? An IN-PERSON episode? That’s right! Elliott was in town to officiate a wedding, so we took a little time to get together in person and record an episode for y’all. And what movie did we pick for such a special occasion? How about something that showed up on basically every “worst movies” list of last year — something that sat on the shelf for half a decade and has been in development for 4x that? You guessed it! We tackled Pierce Brosnan’s Wig Party aka The King’s Daughter!
The Fruit Group, with Chris Weitz
In which Stuart wastes the time of his friends and an Academy Award-nominated filmmaker by asking us all about our favorite fruits, a food Elliott hates.
Moonfall
Let the moon faaaallll / when it crumbuuuules / we will watch iiiiit / and all make fun together! Slight hangovers on two of the Flop Boyz ™ aren’t enough to dampen the fun of the profoundly stupid Moonfall, a movie about a falling moon.
Happy Belated Mother’s Day
rprises Dan and Stu with a series of impromptu debate prompts, forcing his co-hosts to argue for the cinema mothers they’d most like to have as moms.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
The Carnage that was teased at the end of Venom has arrived, albeit with much straighter, non-Ronald McDonald looking hair on Woody Harrelson’s head. Cowards. But that’s the ONLY part of Venom: Let There Be Carnage that’s less goofy than the first one. Hear us dissect this movie like a symbiote eating a human head.
The War With Grandpa, with Griffin McElroy
It’s the Max Fun crossover event of the year! Griffin McElroy has already been a part of one amazing podcast about The War With Grandpa, over on sister Max Fun podcast My Brother My Brother and Me, and that was without even seeing the movie! What will he think now that he’s seen it? We had such a fun time talking with him about this bonkers movie, and we hope you’ll have just as much fun listening.
The Adam Project
Weirdly, a constantly-wisecracking Ryan Reynolds isn’t less irritating when you add a child version of him making the same smug jokes. Are Netflix’s widely-reported woes because they churn out dreck like The Adam Project? The world may never know!
Prolific Pals
Fiendish gamemaster Dan returns to quiz the other Peaches on some of the hardest working men in showbiz. Things start goofy and only get goofier when Dan realizes how bad he is at counting.
Deep Water
The erotic thriller is back, baybee! Sure, it has more Ben Affleck gazing lovingly at snails than it used to, but you gotta expect that kind of wear and tear after leaving it in the garage for a couple of decades. This week, the peaches take on Adrian Lyne’s direct-to-Hulu cuckold murder-stravaganza Deep Water.
Oscars Roundup 2022
Our Oscars chat is back, baybee! America may have stopped watching, but we’re still here!
Talkin’ Toys with T’Elliott
In honor of our Masters of the Universe streaming show tonight, Elliott takes us on a very silly tour through some of his favorite movie toy tie-ins.
Bliss, with Chuck Bryant
The always affable and delightful Charles Wayne “Chuck” Bryant of the blockbuster-huge Stuff You Should Know podcast joins us to talk about the very odd Bliss, from Amazon Studios, a “what if The Matrix was not-so-secretly Requiem for a Dream” freakout, starring Owen Wilson and Salma Hayek in a series of silly hats.
Tuboy Talkin’ Tube for Teens to 2 Two Dudes Tonight, That’s Right, with Alex Smith
Stu returns to his smash hit mini format, to discuss the hit show about teens and drugs that everyone’s talking about.
