I like both The Flophous and HDTGM, but Elliot's songs in The Flophouse are way better than the abominations that HDTGM uses for second opinions/corrections and omissions. Also, the Flophouse mailbag is usually funnier than Paul Scheer answering letters by himself, why can't June answer them with him?

Random Stranger posted:No Elliott on the Flop House until February is the worst news ever. Just because he got a new baby and an important new job on the same day is no excuse! Hallie is great; I like her more when she interacts with Elliot but if I were to add a new flopper, she would be my first choice.

Jack Frost and Deck the Halls were great HDTGM episodes; Harmon was great, June was great, the second opinions were quite depressing and awkward, I loved it.

I've been listening to WHM for months I can't remember the guys names nor associate the names with voices or personalities (unlike the Flophouse, in which it was pretty easy), but I just love when they do impressions. Ape Tim Roth was great in this episode, but my favorite is still George Lucas.

So this week's Flop House had Jessica Williams from TDS as a guest. I really like her as a correspondent, but she was really quiet during the podcast, it was kind of a waste. I hope they bring Hallie back some time soon, she has better chemistry with the Flop House guys

I'm a little dissappointed that Nathan Fielder had so little to say, specially since he is Canadian. Still, a good episode.

Yeah, you are making it seem worse than it actually was. The baby was an "issue" a couple of times and I really didn't mind, I mean, why would I be upset over a baby interrupting my free bad movie podcast? Is Sharknado 2 so important that the discussion must not be interrupted by anyone? I think they just brought the baby as a "fun" thing and then they realized it wasn't a good idea because of the crying. I doubt they'll do it again.

LIKE TEN DICKS posted:the WHM gang is pretty easy to tell apart imo, Andrew sounds like he's wearing a fedora and has a really affected way of talking, Steve sounds like he is eating or about to eat something, Eric sounds like Randall Skeffington, and Chris is the loud guy who never makes good jokes I tried this for the Rocky IV rerun and I still can't pick them apart. It was quite easy in the Flop House, I don't know why I can't do it for WHM. Anyway, good rerun, Rocky IV is a terrible movie, but I kinda like the idea that Rocky manages to end the Cold War.

Beeez posted:I've not really gotten into Flophouse because I already have enough podcasts to listen to and the sound was so bad in their first episode I couldn't get through it. Could I just listen to episodes featuring movies I'd like to hear mocked, or is it so in-joke-y that it's not worth bothering? It's the kind of thing were if you are an old fan you enjoy it more, since there are some (not many) callbacks, like Dan's blandness/recommending movies he saw on planes, Elliot's friendship with Anne Hathaway in High School or Stuart's three recommendations (Invisible Maniac, Castle Freak and Head of the Family) and ding dongs being ripped off. However, just pick a bad movie you've seen and give it a listen. Either way, try the Oogieloves and the Foodfight episodes, those are two of my favorites since the movies they are reviewing are unbelievably awful.

So this happened: http://www.comicvine.com/articles/exclusive-december-dynamite-2014-solicits/1100-149834/ The Flop House guys are gonna write a Flash Gordon holiday special. That sounds pretty good, though they don't have an artist yet; I guess it's time for June and Jason to catch up and join Paul in a The Phantom New Year's special.

cams posted:June's "stance" taken on the newest HDTGM is one of the most egregious things I have ever heard. I still don't understand how that marriage works. Good episode, I liked that having two women allowed to discuss the themes a bit more than the Flop House did when they watched this movie. Also, cat eyes at the end of every movie is the best idea the WHM guys have had in a long time.

Gargamel Gibson posted:On How Did This Get Made they jump all over the place and describe the movie very incoherently. I think you nailed it. Each podcast has a different approach when dealing with the movies but I think the Flop House, even with their tangents, get it right most of the time. I compared the three podcast doing Easy Rider 2 and I ended up liking the Flop House episode more because it felt much more focused (but the other 2 podcast have their own strenghts as well). Maybe if we took Elliot, June and one of the WHM guys (I still can't tell them apart) and put them doing a podcast we'll get the perfect bad movie podcast.

Yesterday's Flop House had probably the least time devoted to actually discussing the movie I've heard on any podcast (Dario Argento's Dracula 3D), but it was overall a very funny episode.

It works the opposite way for me. I enjoy the in jokes, the rants, the tangents and the pitches more than actual movie discussion. In a way, I like the Flop House for the same reasons that I liked Arrested Development, it's a thing that adds up, rather than stand alone, which is a virtue and a flaw at the same time.

The Senator Giroux posted:Well, the Monkey Shines episode is a great episode of HDTGM if you want to hear June maybe going completely insane towards the end. I think I may be going insane as well, I actually understood what she was trying to say. We joke about why is she married to Paul, but the crazier she gets, it starts to make sense.

I was surprised that I didn't hate Matt Mira that much in the HDTGM episode. Maybe I would give James Bonding a try; Mira was one of the reasons I hadn't listened to it. This week's Flop House had pretty much no discussion of the plot of the film....but it's From Justin to Kelly, I don't know who would care a bit about the plot of such a terrible movie.

I'm also on the Flop House FB group and though it can get flooded with dumb "I'm drunk/bored so I'll put whatever crosses my mind" posts sometimes, it's actually a very nice and friendly place (though if you are not a huge fan of the Flop House, I think you'd better look elsewhere)

OctoberCountry posted:If you're like me and rarely listen to the How Did This Get Made? prequel episodes, you should drop everything and listen to the latest one. June makes her debut and it's as awkward and hilarious as you'd imagine.. So Paul has been doing the pre episodes for about 100 times and just now June learns what they are about? The more I learn about her, the less surprised I am that she married Paul.

The Modern Leper posted:Yeah, the mask really slips on that one. Though, my god, that bit was not funny enough (i.e., at all) to go that long. Yeah, the Julie Andrews bit wasn't funny at all, but I love it when Dan just loses it. I guess Dan doesn't want to play up the "boring average human" character he has, but Elliot and Stuart are very good at bringing it back, Dan just can't help it. This is second only behind the time Stuart and Elliot kept interrupting him while he was trying to promote a charity his wife worked for.

piratepilates posted:HDTGM for me is never about the movies (I've seen maybe one or two of them), it's about the comedians. You have to separate the movie from the performance and just listen to it as a bunch of comedians making jokes about a subject, the subject being a bad movie, not about comedians criticizing a movie. Yeah. I think it has been established before that the main 3 bad movie podcast serve different purposes. WHM is the best at dissecting the movie piece by piece and making jokes about the movie (and some running gags); HDTGM is about the comedians and the guests and The Flop House is about the tangents and the host's characters (HDTGM is the worst because of all the ads tough) Also, haven't listened to the Death Spa one because who cares about Horatio Sanz? Just give me more Adam Scott and Andy Daly.
