Stuart returns from Australia to spring everyone’s favorite podcast about the podcast The Flop House on an unsuspecting Hallie– and also, somehow, muscle himself into an episode in the past?
Stuart was antipodes-bound, for his Australian rambles, when we taped this one, but fear not! In his absence we recruited Hallie Haglund, noted STAR OF THE SHOW to discuss Cat Person with us, and thank god we did, because left to our own devices, we doubt that two dudes would be quite as effective at exploring the dissection of gender w/r/t hetero dating relationships that Cat Person brings to the table (straight from the hit New Yorker short story of the same name). Did we do it justice? Only one way to find out!
We’re gearing up for Max Fun Drive pretty soon (3/18-29), so as a reminder of why you love us so SO much, instead of a regularly-scheduled mini we’re dropping ANOTHER full live episode from our recent west coast tour! This one was taped at the Aladdin in Portland, in front of one of the hottest crowds we’ve ever been blessed with, discussing one of the silliest movies we’ve ever discussed — the Vanilla Ice starrer Cool As Ice!
It takes a brave creative team to give Exorcist II: The Heretic a run for its money as worst “Exorcist” film, but at least part two was lovably batshit and a work of care and pearsonal vision, even if that vision was really weird. Exorcist: Believer on the other hand? Oof. You’ll have to listen to find out.
Elliott uses the occasion of Steamboat Willie entering the public domain to explore other free IP we could mine for dollars.
We’re giving you one more live show from our recent west coast tour, before returning to regular “in studio” episodes next week. Please enjoy our discussion of perhaps Sylvester Stallone’s grimiest, most 80’s action movie, Cobra, recorded live at the Rio Theater in Vancouver, British Columbia.
In case you hadn’t heard through one of our many annoying-but-necessary-to-our-livelihood plugs, The Flop House has been on tour! That’s why, instead of getting a normal Flop House mini, on this mini-saturday, you’re getting this slightly-shorter FULL EPISODE! Recorded live at Cobb’s Comedy Club (who were so nice to us) as part of San Francisco Sketchfest, here’s our discussion of legendary 2003 megabomb, Gigli!
We’re currently on the road as part of our “Errors Tour,” so we don’t have many show notes other than to say for this episode we flashed back to legendary bad movie Kangaroo Jack, and it’s a hot one!
