Show Notes[]
2020 may be miserable, but it’s STILL HALLOWEEN DAMN IT. So we assembled a crack team of the Flop House gang, plus comedy writers Mike Reiss and Ken Keeler (who, between them, are responsible for much of the greatness of The Simpsons, The Critic, and Futurama) to discuss the most important and timely issue possible — the 1962 novelty hit, The Monster Mash.
Also, if you’re reading this on the day of release, 10/31, you still have until midnight to donate to charity and be entered in our raffle to win exclusive Flop House merch! Full instructions beyond the link!

Quotes[]
“There's the terrible joke I make: I gave one of my Emmies to my Mom, because I didn't have a birthday present for her. And I planned — the moment she dies I wanna go to her house and grab the Emmy back. It will be like winning the Emmy for Best Orphan”
—Mike @01:18
“Dan usually waits until at least the second appearance to wish death upon the mother of a guest.”
—Elliott @02:05
