The longtime anchor of the NBC Nightly News drops by to break down the new Dune trailer, and how he left his heart on Arrakis.

Dan asks his co-hosts: do they want to play a game…?

Our pals John Hodgman and David Rees have an animated show called Dicktown, about an aging boy detective and his aging bully/partner, premiering on FXX’s “Cake” on July 9. Thus, in a completely generous, non-promotional gesture, they dropped by to discuss private detectives in movies, and in fiction generally.

Somebody gave Stuart a movie, and he watched it! And now he’s telling us about it! Also, watch The Flop House LIVE show LIVESTREAM for CHARITY in your OWN HOME next Saturday, JUNE 6!

Dan joins in the missed movie fun with his report on “Geteven” (yes, all one word) AKA “Road to Revenge,” a passion project that’s more passion than project.

Stuart tries for extra credit (no one tell him that Flop House extra credit isn’t a thing), by checking out the puppy-kidnapping family comedy Rusty: A Dog’s Tale and reporting back to the guys.

Griffin Newman came back (for reals, not one of these “we actually recorded it at the same time”) to chat for a bit about Watto, Star Wars in general, his career, and, of course, Tom Selleck.

Elliott gives us a preview of his son Sammy’s novel, and then things take a turn.
