December 06, 2025 The Christmas Martian, with Alonso Duralde
It's the most wonderful time of the year. Some might go so far as to call it the hap-happiest season of all. Why?

That said, goddamn you Alonso for suggesting we watch The Christmas Martian. This... this... thing... oof. Just listen to the show.

November 29, 2025 Afraid, with Chris Weitz
Our friend Chris Weitz knocked politely and requested to be allowed into the lion's den, becoming the first director to come on a full episode to discuss his OWN work. That's right, on this Flop House we discuss AfrAId, a movie written and directed by (checks notes) Chris Weitz. And surprisingly (?) it's one of our most joyful episodes. God bless you, brave sir.

We welcome the man who brought us to the Maximum Fun network, Mr. Jesse Thorn, to the show this week. And how did we repay him? We made him watch Smurfs. We never said life is fair.

Writer, producer, and podcaster Scott Weinberg kicks off the FOUR FULL EPISODES OF "MOVEMBER," with a discussion of 2024's remake, The Crow.
