Kept in the Flop House Vaults until now, and released because we’re on the road in D.C., it’s the LIVE Fantastic Four show!

Zhubin Parang joins us for the fourth most magical time on the Flop House calandar: Cagemas in July! It’s also time for the political conventions, so more extensive show notes are canceled while Dan jets off to Cleveland and Philly.

We just can’t stop punishing ourselves with bizarre kids’ computer animated films. Will Norm of the North be another Guardian of the Highlands or Foodfight!? Meanwhile Stuart has strong feelings on Tyrion Lannister’s political positions, Elliott mangles Sinatra, and Dan is far too distracted by his loud cat.

Hallie rejoins us, while Elliott is briefly away, to determine whether any tears were jerked by the Nicholas Sparks tearjerker, The Choice. Meanwhile Stuart reveals the Hamburglar’s m-o, Dan discusses the strange things he’s slept on, and Hallie explains the romantic troubles of dating someone on the metric system.

Live from Cake Shop as part of NYC Podfest. It’s Gods of Egypt.

On this episode we discuss the should-be-more-hatable tale of young aspiring DJ douches We Are Your Friends. Meanwhile, Elliott describes a Golden Girls party at length, Stuart burns Broadway, and Dan slowly dies.

This episode is part three in a podcrawl with the guys at Read it and Weep, and at Too Beautiful to Live, covering the entire Look Who’s Talking trilogy. We got to handle the thrilling conclusion, Look Who’s Talking Now. Meanwhile we discover what’s in the file titled “Things Stuart Knows,” Dan reveals his shameful Simpsons past, and Elliott pitches “Fiddler on the Wolf Goes West.”

On this episode we run through a tasting menu of Bradley Cooper’s assholish behavior in the bad-boy chef movie, Burnr. Meanwhile, Elliott recites some lewd Dr. Seuss, Stuart drops some Friday the 13th science, and Dan suggests a new sort of nativity.
