The Flop House

Ep. #363 - Being the Ricardos, with Alison Rosen

We've got <a href="http://apple.co/alisonrosen">a new best friend</a>, and it's <a href="https://twitter.com/alisonrosen">Alison Rosen</a>! She drops by to discuss the Oscar-nominated <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4995540/">Being the Ricardos</a>, a movie that expresses Aaron Sorkin's deep and not at all bizarre understanding of how TV comedy works, and how it's the most solemn, earth-shaking thing that could ever exist, filled with people staring very seriously at jokes until their genius strikes them and they spew an impeccably-worded monologue about someone slipping on bananas, or whatever.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_the_Ricardos">Wikipedia entry for Being the Ricardos</a>Movies recommended in this episode:<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11466222/">Jackass Forever</a><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11196036/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">The Card Counter</a><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13087796/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">I'm Your Man</a><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073747/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2">The Stepford Wives</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.
