The Flop House Episode FIFTY is ONLINE!

When a podcast reaches a certain age--say 50--it may find itself susceptible to a midlife crisis. It might buy itself a shiny red convertible mixing board. It may dump one of its hosts for a hot young blonde. Or maybe it just regresses, with an animated kid's film like Delgo. Meanwhile, Elliott tries out some of his Jabberjaw molestation jokes, Dan reveals the surprising owners of the Delgo website, and Stuart is having none of it.

0:00 - 0:34 - Introduction and theme
0:35 - 3:40 - We devote a little time to patting ourselves on the back for reaching fifty episodes.
3:41 - 28:51 - We celebrate our fiftieth anniversary by discussing Delgo, the movie most likely to inspire blank stares in our audience, followed by the phrase "What the fuck's a Delgo?." Maybe we'll get our shit together for the 100th.
28:51 - 29:58 - Pause for station identification
29:59 - 35:55 - Final judgments
35:56 - 40:40 - Flop House Movie Mailbag, plus some discussion of a wacky cross-country adventure.
40:41 - 47:40 - The sad bastards recommend.
47:41 - 49:19 - Goodbyes, theme and outtakes.
