Wuthering Heights

Emerald Fennell took one of the classic works of literature most beloved by horny youth and said, "But what if I took out the subtlety?"

The Mandalorian and Grogu, with Will Hines

It's a rare "Flop House in the Aisles," as we took to the theater to see the tepidly-received (though still wildly successful) latest Star Wars thing, THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU. It's got a li'l green guy in it! How bad could it be? And for a very special episode, we needed a special guest -- the talented actor and improvisor Will Hines, returning to the show after a seventeen year absence! See you in another 17 Will!

FH Mini 151 - Birthday Movies

It's established lore that, growing up, Dan mostly got to see movies in the theater on his birthday, as a special treat. But what were those movies? And if you had limited birthday bucks (TM) to spend, were those movies BIRTHDAY-WORTHY? Subscribe to our NEWSLETTER, “Flop Secrets! It’s the best way to keep up on all things Flop House!

After Last Season, with J.D. Amato

Back in 2009 a movie trailer set the internet aflame. Not because it was for some long-awaited adaptation or giant blockbuster, but because it was so odd people assumed it had to be a prank. Now in 2026, we welcome the wonderful J.D. Amato to discuss this oddball (?)thriller(?) AFTER LAST SEASON! In addition to be a respected TV showrunner/comedy writer, J.D. has written a new graphic novel for young readers, THE ENDLESS GAME, about a game of capture the flag that's been going on for 80 years. Consider picking one up for the young reader or comics enthusiast in your life! Stay updated on all things Flop House, plus a little extra, with our NEWSLETTER, “Flop Secrets!

Dreamcatcher, with Evan Dorkin

In 2003, legendary director Lawrence Kasdan teamed with legendary screenwriter William Goldman, for a big-budget adaptation of a novel by legendary horror novelist Stephen King. And the result was... also legendary. But for different reasons than they might have hoped. On this episode, legendary (at least to us!) comics artist and writer Evan Dorkin joins us to discuss one of the most inexplicable flops of the 2000's -- DREAMCATCHER! If you've never checked out Evan's work, he's just released an omnibus of his humor comix under the name NERD INFERNO, a FH-endorsed way to spend your nerd bucks!

Elliott, you must watch Silver Bullet! It’s my go-to start to the Halloween season. Stu, you must watch Christine! Bad to the Bone, baby. I always rewind to marvel at the flaming car scene! Let us all know what you guys think of these classic Halloween experiences. Such a fun podcast!

Being a mst3k person since I was a child- I find this podcast calms my nervous system. It’s not the same- but it is 3 well meaning, funny people, making lemonade with the non-stop mediocrity being pelted at us via steamers. I find it uplifting.
Worth it?

Castle Freak’s Ding Dong

I’ve been listening for about ten years now so either this a good podcast or something is wrong with me.
Love the premise…

This is an interesting premise, and I want to like it. It does sound and feel chaotic/overwhelming often. The host with the higher pitched voice never stops talking and making noise, and constantly interrupts the others. The others talk over each other ad well.

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.
