The Flop House

FINALLY after suffering through all of those bad movies, we get a treat! Patrick Swayze's Ro... what? What's that we're hearing? It's the remake? Goddamn it. Well maybe Road House 2024 will have some charms of its own. I guess y'all will need to listen to find out. We partnered with StagePilot and their talented crew to  film our SPEED 2 live show as a streaming event ! The debut is Saturday, Apri...

Elliott takes a look back at 100 Flop House minis, and that is absolutely the only thing that happens, and no special guest arrives with any particular fixation on sandworm-related science fiction. We partnered with StagePilot and their talented crew to  film our SPEED 2 live show as a streaming event ! The debut is Saturday, April 27th at 7PM ET, and the three hosts will be IN THE CHAT watching a...

Yet again, we steal a few hours Jamelle could be using to write something smart for The New York Times , to discuss his REAL passion: movies about hedgehogs. Yes, Sonic 2 was a big hit with mixed reviews, but how good is it really ? The answer may not surprise you! Also, this is our final episode in MaxFun drive 2024 - if you were intending to join, but just forgot, there's still time! Do you live...

We welcome our old friend Zhubin Parang back to the main feed after years of only joining us for our FlopTales RPG series (available as bonus content for Max Fun members: join here !) -- and for such an auspicious return we had to pick an extra-special movie: Madame Web , which some have hailed as the "Cats" of superhero movies. Does it reach those heights? Who knows. But it's surely the most enjo...

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 th...

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 V...

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. Do you live in or around BROOKLYN, NEW YORK or OXFORD, ENGLAND?  We’ve got upcoming LIVE SH...
