The Flop House is Emmy Nominated

Well, sure, to be more accurate 1/3 of The Flop House is Emmy-nominated, that third being Elliott Kalan.

And if you want to get totally technical about it, Elliott's Emmy nomination is for his work writing for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and not for his off-the-cuff comments on The Flop House. (Especially since podcasts aren't eligible for Emmys. What's up with that, Television Academy of Arts and Sciences?)

But why would you be a dick and point all that out?

Anyway, we're counting it. And we're congratulating our Flop House colleague on the richly-deserved recognition. Now go out and bring home that statue, buddy! Mainly because we're curious to see if it's as pointy as it looks.

Mr. Elliott Kalan on The Daily Show

As always, we're proud whenever Flop House co-host Elliott shows up onscreen at The Daily Show. Check him out in this video-- he shows up at about the minute mark.

The Flop House Does a DVD Commentary

Here's something to make you feel better about the Flop House-less holiday weekend-- a couple of months back we recorded our very first commentary track, for John Ott, a filmmaker friend of Elliott's, whose 10-minute short horror movie, Stull, will soon be coming to DVD. It was a lot of fun for us, since the structure of our podcast means that we talk about the movie without any sort of visual reference for the audience, so we don't get to do this kind of riffing.

Here's a preview (if you're impatient, we kick in around 0:44).

'Stull' Flop House Commentary Preview from J. Ott on Vimeo.

We had a great time, and would encourage any filmmaker who doesn't mind a little ribbing to get in touch if they would like us to record a similar track. Although, for movies longer than 10 minutes, we may ask for some sort of minor payment. Stuart's Coors Lights don't come free, you know.

The Flop House Loves America

The Floppers are taking the holiday weekend off (look for a new movie minute next week), but to tide you over, please enjoy this picture of Elliott singing his favorite patriotic song.

In Response to the Call for More Photos

Guess which one is Stuart.
