The Flop House is a comedy podcast devoted to the worst in recent film. Your hosts (Elliott Kalan, Dan McCoy, and Stuart Wellington) watch a questionable film, then engage in an unscripted discussion about the movie's shortcomings and occasional delights, while never being afraid of a pointless, silly digression or two hundred.

  • One of the funniest podcasts that exists

    I've been listening to this podcast for over 10 years, and I'm not that old. These boys are really really funny, listen to them talk while summarizing a bad movie (sometimes). The minis are fun too.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3, with Jamelle Bouie
Q: What's your experience with Shadow before this movie, Jamelle, and how familiar were you with him?
Jamelle explains Shadow's origin from Sonic Adventure 2, acknowledges his online lore, and notes that most of his knowledge now comes from memes, while also confirming Shadow's role as an anti-hero who is not entirely evil.
Ep.#456 - Captain America: Brave New World
Q: But I didn't see Falcon Winter Soldier. How does this work with Bucky?
The transition feels jarring with Bucky becoming a congressional candidate after his dark past as the Winter Soldier.
Ep.#456 - Captain America: Brave New World
Q: Dan, since you're not as tied to the comics, how are you feeling about the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this stage?
It has definitely tried my patience recently, especially with this movie and Quantum Mania being particularly disappointing.
FH Mini 129 - When Animals Compete
Q: What is the cutest baby animal?
The cutest baby animal is without a doubt the baby elephant, according to Stuart.
FH Mini 124 - Bad Movie Godfathers, with Harry Medved and Harry Pallenberg

The best ones are passion projects from a visionary director, who has a clear vision that might not be the right vision.
