-
Episode #492 – Scream 7
Much like a horror movie villain, the Scream movies refuse to die, even though with every new sequel the films shed more of what that made the franchise special and the whole thing just becomes a regular ol' slasher series. Eventually you get late installments like SCREAM 7. Some have called it…

-
Episode #490 – Surfer: Teen Confronts Fear

Episode #489 – The Moment, with Hallie Haglund
Charli XCX is a huge pop star, seems cool, and is a genuine film lover -- but when she decided to make her own movie, were the results any good? That's what we were wondering about THE MOMENT, and we invited star of the show (and bigger Charli XCX-pert than any of us) Hallie Haglund back to the...
-
FH Mini 156 – The Peach Pit, with Hallie!
Stuart brings back the world's most popular Flop House after-show, hosted by one of the hosts of The Flop House, and this time Hallie's here (her presence makes more sense when you realize that we taped next week's full episode with her first, but this one was the first to release). This time…

Episode #488 – Lee Cronin’s The Mummy
Shocktober threatens to break the bounds of the fall, with this unexpected incursion into August. This aggression will not stand! Watch yourself, Shocktober!

Episode #487 – The Master of Disguise LIVE
Way back in the winter we stopped by SF Sketchfest to discuss the film that gave us the mental image of Dana Carvey in a turtle suit, solemnly remembering the victims of 9/11 -- THE MASTER OF DISGUISE. Join us as we discuss the astounding/sometimes racist adventures of Pistachio Disguisey! And...
-
FH Mini 154 – Dan Explains Jem
Proving that Stuart's not the only one who can do a lore deep dive, Dan takes us on a tour of one of his more oddball obsessions, the 1985 cartoon series Jem, and it's one of our longest minis ever. Truly, truly, truly outrageous!
-
Episode #486 – The Bride! with Kenice Mobley
Oftentimes on The Flop House we wind up watching Hollywood movies that are just kind of dull or mediocre or unimaginative. The Bride!... is not one of those. For all its flaws, it's at least a bona fide personal vision that also happens to be a fiasco. And you know what? That's kind of...
-
FH Mini 153 – Tops and Flops
Stuart takes us on a tour of several significant movie directors, asking Dan and Elliott to guess which of their works are top rated on IMDb and which ones take the bottom slot, and discussing whether the rankings are justified.
-
Episode 485 – 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?" It actually made quite a lot of money at the box office, but did it work for the Flop House? Guess you'll have to listen to find out. (See, Emerald? That's how...
-
FH Mini 152 – Pride
Our old friend Alonso Duralde, who literally wrote the book on LGBTQ+ representation in the movies, stops by to the Flop House to ask three cis hetero guys, "Hey, what was the first queer representation YOU remember seeing on film?"
-
Episode #484 – 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...
-
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?
-
Episode #483 – 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!

Episode #482 – 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...
-
Episode #481 – Return to Silent Hill, with Steven Kostanski
Max Fun Drive 2026 is over, and normally we'd be back to our "one full ep one mini" schedule, but we had too many good guests lined up, so you're getting another maxi this week AND next. That's why they call us Peaches. (Editor's note: there's no particularly good reason we're called The…

Episode #480 – 40 Days and 40 Nights
We close out Max Fun Drive 2026 with some true pain. Stuart's proclaimed "least favorite movie," 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS, a supposed "sexy romcom" that's actually a melange of unfunny shenanigans, poisonous attitudes, nothing that resembles actual human behavior, and (trigger warning) some...
-
Episode #479 – Feardotcom
We're in the swing of Max Fun Drive 2026, and for "Dan's pick" of our 3 special MFD episodes, he's taking us back to 2002 when the internet felt new and we were all logging on to FEARDOTCOM, or -- more accurately -- feardotcom.com (just listen to the episode). Join us as we surf the fear-web!
-
Episode #478 – Exit to Eden
For Max Fun Drive 2026 (starting this Monday 4/20) the Peaches issued a fiendish challenge to one another -- we each get ONE pick to bedevil the others with, and Stuart starts us off with a doozy: 1994's EXIT TO EDEN. It started out as an erotic BDSM novel by Anne Rice, so clearly the best person...
-
Episode #477 – Mercy
AI is bad, except maybe it's not, maybe AI will help you solve the murder of your wife before it executes you for the murder of its wife... wtf is Mercy saying, anyway? Maybe it's saying if you put your hero in a chair for 100 minutes your movie will feel inert. Especially if Chris Pratt is that...
-
FH Mini #149 – Fantasy Land March Madness
He missed March by four days, but hey, there's nothing in the rulebook that says Elliott can't lead us in a March Madness showdown to determine which cinematic fantasy land would be best to live in!
-
Episode #476 – Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie
"What's the Bratz of the 2020's?" we asked ourselves, chasing that ultimate Bratz high. "Could it be Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie?" While perhaps not reaching those lofty heights, this was nearly as bonkos as reviews suggested it would be -- a psychedelic fantasia filtered through a combination...
-
FH Mini 148 – Stand-Up Movies, with Matt Koff
Stuart leads a discussion of stand-up comedy in the movies, with the help of our special guest: acclaimed comic and longtime pal, Matt Koff.
-
Episode 475 – Ella McCay
On this episode, we discuss ELLA MCCAY, which -- based on its poster -- is a movie about a woman having trouble with her shoe. Hmn. That can't be right. Well, whatever it's about, it's made by the legendary James L. Brooks, so we can be sure it'll have a clear plot, strong themes, and a...

FH Mini 147 – Mental Health Day
The world is, how do you say, "un feu de poubelle." So Dan took this mini as a chance to do a little check-in with his pals. How's everyone doing?
