A special treat from the archives to help calm your jangled nerves, and to balm your soul with brattitude.

2020 may be miserable, but it’s STILL HALLOWEEN DAMN IT. So we assembled a crack team of the Flop House gang, plus comedy writers Mike Reiss and Ken Keeler (who, between them, are responsible for much of the greatness of The Simpsons, The Critic, and Futurama) to discuss the most important and timely issue possible — the 1962 novelty hit, The Monster Mash.

Bestselling author and acclaimed screenwriter Gillian Flynn joins the boys for a Shocktober discussion of the mutant cat movie, Uninvited.

It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! Did you get us any SHOCKTOBER presents? We got YOU something — a discussion of this year’s Fantasy Island, the horror (?) movie based on the decidedly NOT horror 1970’s light fantasy television anthology.

We couldn’t get together for a mini this week, but our busy schedule is the listeners’ gain, as we release this full-sized live show from the vault! It’s a flashback to happier times, last July, when people could assemble to live comedy! Here’s our live Hellboy (2019) show from The Parkway theater in Minneapolis, MN!

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in all our years of discussing bad movies, it’s that vanity projects are often the creme de la creme of bizarre and terrible cinema. And hoo doggies, do we have something special for you. Made in 2006, then shelved for nearly a decade before getting quietly dumped to streaming in 2014, writer/director/star Stuart Paul’s magnum opus, Deadly Lessons, is a fantasy self-help (?) thriller (?) that’s impossible to describe, but lord, do we try.

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.
