The Flop House

Ep. #292 - Welcome to Marwen

Hoo boy, this was a tough one folks. How to navigate the Hollywoodization of a real-life trauma with a dash of weird gender politics? Answer -- less funny than usual, as we discuss <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3289724/">Welcome to Marwen</a>. Meanwhile, Elliott completely misunderstands the etymology of "painstaking," Dan details the many tones of Marwen, and Stuart bestows Dan with his Looney Tunes identity. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Marwen#Plot">Wikipedia summary for Welcome to Marwen</a> Movies recommended in this episode: Burning <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6469548/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_9">The Head Hunter</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3387520/?ref_=nv_sr_2?ref_=nv_sr_2">Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark</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.
