It's Cagemas in July! The second-cagiest time of year! So we invited Jordan Morris, creator of the Bubble podcast (available on Maximum Fun) and co-writer of the brand new Bubble graphic novel to come by and discuss the "aliens really like a good martial arts fight" action movie Jiu Jitsu, with a delightful turn by Mr. Cage as a wacky Yoda-like character.Wikipedia entry for Jiu JitsuMovies recommended in this episode:The Fear Street TrilogyBlue CollarSeason of the WitchLet Him Go

Ep. #348 - Jiu Jitsu, with Jordan Morris

While we're sad to say goodbye to beloved Producer Jordan, we're happy to welcome Producer Alex, as he drops by to tell us about a forgotten TV movie from horror icon Wes Craven, Invitation to Hell!

FH Mini 34 - Missed That Movie: Invitation to Hell

We'll level with all of you -- we ALSO prefer Hallie Haglund, and are at our happiest when she comes by to join us for some film talk. So we had to pick an extra-special movie to mark the occasion. And hoo boy. That movie? The wife of former Trump treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin and controversial figure in her own right, Louise Linton's vanity project (as writer, director, producer, and star) Me You Madness. It's the movie that asks "if I make fun of myself REALLY HARD, then you're not allowed to make fun of me anymore, right?"Wikipedia entry for Me You MadnessMovies recommended in this episode:Black WidowWerewolves WithinThe EarDiamonds of the NightA Very Curious Girl

Ep. #347 - Me You Madness, with Hallie Haglund

With Black Widow in theaters this week, we talk about the Marvel property everyone's talking about! The Eternals! Elliott attempts to answer the important question: What's their deal?

FH Mini 33 - Elliott Explains The Eternals

Whaaat? Our second Doug Liman movie in so many episodes? It's certainly hard to give Locked Down as much shit as we gave Chaos Walking -- especially when it co-stars Elliott's old flame Annie. Anyway, we hope you enjoy our usual shenanigans. Life seems to be looking up, right? Are we wrong?Wikipedia entry for Locked DownMovies recommended in this episode:The Neutral GroundThe Sparks BrothersThief

Ep. #346 - Locked Down

In the spirit of Stuart's tale about snakes, Dan shares some short fiction from his own childhood, filled with murder, moles, and an octopus with FANGS!

FH 32 - The Underground Adventure

It's just back to the OP's this episode, for the discussion of the talent-packed, but passion-lite YA adaptation Chaos Walking, which honestly seems like a pretty heart-healthy way for Chaos to travel, but maybe it should check out public transit.Wikipedia entry for Chaos WalkingMovies recommended in this episode:PolyesterSeanceThe Joke

Ep. #345 - Chaos Walking

Stu's always asking if we'd like to play a game, so it was probably only a matter of time before he'd turn to the topic of Saw. He recently ran the series, and wants to talk to Dan and Elliott about it. And what would any Saw-related media be without a twist? In this case, a radical shift in the episode after the ads. We hope you enjoy!

FH Mini 31 - Stu Sees Saws

Comedy couple Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman of the Couples' Therapy podcast, and performing/writing/starring in many wonderful things join us to discuss Mortal Kombat and also mortal-ity, given how sick Dan sounds in this one.Wikipedia entry for Mortal KombatMovies recommended in this episode:The Castle of CagliostroPlan BPicture SnatcherCan't Get You Out of My HeadLittle Shop of Horrors

Ep. #344 - Mortal Kombat, with Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman

In honor of Housebroken, the TV show that's kindly employed Mr. Elliott Kalan for part of this lousy quarantine (premiering 5/31 on Fox), Elliott quizzes the others about their preferences, to determine Dan and Stu's perfect pop culture pets

FH Mini 30 - The Sleuth About Cats and Dogs

Editor of ScreenCrush, Matt Singer stops by The Flop House, and weirdly, he didn't want to talk about Gymkata. Instead, he forced us to experience North, the movie that Roger Ebert hated SO much that he named his book of bad movies after his review.Wikipedia entry for NorthMovies recommended in this episode:Out of the PastJakob's WifeThe CreamatorMultiple Maniacs

Dan the game-master is back with another of his infernal quizzes -- this one focused on the delightful trash-heap that is Tubi.

FH Mini #28 - McCoy Boy Talking Tubi to Tu-Boy and NYU-Boy Tonight All Right

From the dawn of time, humankind has dreamed of watching a giant lizard wrestle a big ape. Well, now humankind has Godzilla vs. Kong. Did it live up to our dreams? We enlisted the creator of Kaijumax, Zander Cannon, to help untangle our thoughts, as we spin along on this hollow Earth.BTW: we know we promised you the Dark Phoenix live episode on our Twitter and IG, but technical issues stood in the way (those technical issues are that Dan somehow lost the file). In the unlikely event anyone has a recording or a bootleg, get in touch!Wikipedia entry for Godzilla vs. Kong.Movies recommended in this episode:The Wolf HouseButcher, Baker, Nightmare MakerShin GodzillaKing Kong EscapesA Colt is My Passport

Ep. #341 - Godzilla vs. Kong, with Zander Cannon
