She wanted to discuss the 1984 summer camp comedy <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087700/">Meatballs Part II</a>, and as three middle-aged men who were raised on dumb 80's shit, who were we to argue? Meanwhile, Sharlene brings her Jewish summer camp experience to the fore, Elliott waxes poetic about making first contact, Stuart promises some future Baby Boomer rants, and Dan takes us on a trip through Meatballs history. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatballs_Part_II#Plot">Wikipedia summary for Meatballs Part II</a> Movies recommended in this episode: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107529/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Matinee</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8772262/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Midsommar</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4971344/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1">The Sisters Brothers</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458352/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1">The Devil Wears Prada</a> LIVE SHOW DATES 2019!

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.
