The Flop House

Ep. #306 - The Fanatic

We've been wanting to tackle this one for quite a while, folks, and... oof. Be careful what you wish for. <a href="https://twitter.com/adalrifai?lang=en">Adal Rifai</a> of the podcast "<a href="https://hellofromthemagictavern.com/">Hello From the Magic Tavern</a>" joins us to discuss <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7869070/">The Fanatic</a>, the movie that asks "What if Fred Durst directed a movie starring a career-self-destructing John Travolta as a man with a developmental disability, with his trademark Limp Bizkit sensitivity?" Meanwhile, Stuart invents the newest horror movie killer, Elliott attacks Dan for his nonexistent position on backstory, and Dan misses Leggs. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fanatic_(2019_film)#Plot">Wikipedia synopsis of The Fanatic</a> Movies recommended in this episode: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082243/">Strange Behavior</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070334/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">The Long Goodbye</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095327/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Grave of the Fireflies</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091251/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Come and See</a> LIVE SHOW ALERT! – <a href="https://www.universe.com/events/the-flop-house-live-in-toronto-again-tickets-FPR658">The Flop House in Toronto – April 18!</a>

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.
