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.

We see The Sci-Fi Christian, in all its iterations, as being about the collision between faith and nerdom. We believe that good genre fiction is about more than just entertainment. We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian. Even if your faith background differs from ours, we look forward to interacting with you at The Sci-Fi Christian!

Sexist, Egotistical, Lying, Hypocritical, Bigot
Brandon welcomes Emmett Stanton back to the podcast to take a look at one of the most successful comedies of the 1980s. 9 to 5 placed a comedic spotlight on the plight of working women in America. The film, directed by Colin Higgins, segues from satire to full out farce. Brandon and Emmett discuss the powerhouse trio of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton (in her film debut). They also pay tribute to the late, great Dabney Coleman whose portrayal of Mr. Hart walks the line between villain and sympathetic scoundrel.
FEATURING: Brandon Davis and Emmett Stanton
