  • RealCRH
    Very entertaining
    A very entertaining podcast!
  • Nono21212
    So funny
    I look forward to this show every week. “Trying to get down to my birth weight” SENT me. So much fun.
  • Navigator626
    Great show.
    So much fun to listen to! Interesting and informative but also will leave you with a smile and laugh. Thanks bestie!
  • Emfhj8
    Please stop with the Bestie thing
    Great podcast, great host, guests and subjects, great storytelling as well. I beg of you please stop with this new ‘besties’ thing though. Otherwise 10/10
  • loriborealis
    Great fun
    I found Misha on social media just recently and followed him here, always happy to have another podcast to listen to while I do chores/take walks/commute. I laugh at something in every episode and always learn a new tidbit about a past flop. Keep up the good work bestie!
  • ohnochriso
    Yay for the podcast, boo for the cheesy lingo
    I truly adore this podcast and have been bingeing it since I listened to an episode that crossed over with another favorite, What Went Wrong. And I’ve been enjoying all of it, even the goofy games and puns and the whole shebang….except for the forced Gen Z lingo! Misha please please please stop saying “besties” and “sus” and other already dated slang. It sounds like Steve Buscemi saying “Greetings fellow kids” on 30 Rock and you’re already a laugh and a half!

    The best way to get any task done!
    Do you have yardwork or dishes or laundry that needs to be done? This is your distraction! You may not know one thing about the subject matter and will still be highly entertained by this podcast.
  • Sweeteaaa
    The Big Flop is a flop
    Misha’s hosting feels like a college student’s project for their TV & Radio major in the 2000’s. The guests are what makes the show tolerable but Misha flops on being clever or creative. Meh.
  • IpseyJones
    What fun!
    So glad I found this pod. I’m binging. Can’t stop. 😫
  • Twinloves79
    What a get!
    OMG ARICIA AND BROOKE!!!! MY FAVORITES!!!! All in one!!! You go Misha!!!
  • sefrochen
    My First Podcast
    How did I get so lucky?! Just started in podcasts. Found Misha totally by accident and haven’t been able to stop listening since. I probably will be completely spoiled for all other podcasts but totally worth it. What a jewel. It’s not just the stories, it’s the amazing writing, the cool guests, and of course my fave new gay icon Misha. If you love cons, laughing and hilarious games, this podcast is for you.
  • DJ JoePop
    I love a big flop!
    I live for this podcast. Must listen to Barbie’s Most Embarrassing Fails. Misha Brown and his guests had me laughing so hard!
  • Wally H. Dog
    Super funny, but one complaint
    Love the pacing and vibe of the show, and the guests dependably have the most hilarious quips about the stories. But for the love of god, could Misha stop discussing PICTURES with his guests?? He knows it’s a podcast and we can’t see it, right? Right??
  • Bunny Cub
    Like it but most of the laughter is forced
    He he he he he he haaaaaaaaa
  • 1htmama1
    U2 episode
    I just checked my iPhone music and songs Of innocence is there. I never knew how it got there. Now I know!! 🤣
  • Shell36523
    Enjoyable
    Funny, entertaining, and upbeat.
  • 2025TiredOfItAll
    Enough with the Wondery podcast host circle jerk
    Going down hill fast as guests went from actual funny comedians to unfunny hosts of podcasts on the Wondery network. Obviously Wondery is desperate to promote these other shows and forcing Misha to take them on as guests. The Last Podcast on the Left host episode was almost unlistenable. One of the most annoying aspects of podcasting is when it turns into a circle jerk of hosts hosting hosts from other podcasts rather than doing the work to find quality guests. I don’t blame Misha, he sounds like he’s doing his best to get a word in while being talked over by uninteresting and obtuse doofuses. Hang in there Misha, hopefully the corporate overlords at Wondery will back off when they’ve lost all their money to Trump and need real talent to bring back sponsors.
  • Jeffreus Rex
    Fun and educational!
    I’ve listened since the beginning but this week’s episode was also educational. It made realize that I’ve had U2’s Songs of Innocence on my phone for 11 years without even knowing it!
  • KelsBeaver
    How?!
    Could you not absolutely love this pod?!❤️

  • Lluvily
    Hilarious
    This is one of the very few podcasts that actually makes me laugh out loud. Absolutely love it, the PharmaBro episode is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard!
  • ChristineSixx
    Listen if you want to laugh
    Every episode makes me laugh out loud. Not only does this podcast put a smile on my face, it also teaches me a little something along the way. Misha is a great host with great delivery, and the guests are always hysterical. I love the banter. I love the jokes. I love the stories.
  • SamsterAZ
    Amazing Misha
    Misha is amazingly funny, relevant and kind. I love the podcast and you Don’t cross a gay man content.

  • Piggers_R1985
    Excellent! My new favorite!
    Misha always such a great job, and the guest hosts are always fantastic and so funny. Keep up the fabulous work. I will be listening all the time.
  • angrylf
    Meh …
    The host’s delivery is mannered and cartoonish - sometimes intimidating content but hard to listen to - not very good.
  • JesseJane306
    So fun!
    This is an excellent podcast. It’s fun, informative, never lags, and talks about flops without being unnecessarily mean. Highly recommend.
  • ABZ416
    Love it
    Every, every episode has the best host/guest chemistry, the best zingers, and very informative at the same time. Love Misha and friends… keep it up!!
  • AliFS1
    Perfect podcast
    I’ve never given a podcast 5 stars, but this is it! Misha is a fantastic hosts, the guests are spot on, the writing is great, and the content covers a huge range of fields and time periods. The production is right in line with Wondery’s other podcasts. I’m listening to the whole back catalog now, and I can’t wait for more new episodes.
  • Ron5771
    Fantastic podcast
    Thank you for the detailed research and entertaining delivery of each subject. Your guests are wonderful too!
  • Destroyer76
    Annoying guests
    Made it thru about 5 minutes when, for the third time, one of the male guests said “Giirrrrrl” to the other 2 males on the podcast. Yech!
  • Dazed and
    Funny !
    Great podcast and the host has great rapport with his guests
  • Hammering Dancer 81
    Well
    Misha is a great host but I hate to say it, he is painfully unfunny. Thankfully he is a good narrator. Great pod
  • Hulahoop9274
    Come for the Flop, Stay for Misha
    Absolutely love how entertaining this show is. Misha is one of the best podcasts hosts I’ve ever listened to. Such a funny and well spoken individual and incredibly good at engaging guests. 10/10
  • Lotsa Pods
    My new Favorite Pod!
    I’ve found my new favorite podcast! I have been binging this show for days and love all the guests and of course Mesha! The real flop stories are incredible and so interesting!
  • Davadunteram
    The Big Flop is wondery-ful
    I started listening to this podcast and it’s amazing! I love listening to all the great “flops” and the hosts perspective on it. Also the co hosts are usually great and add a funny spin to everything. Very well thought out and entertaining. I’ll continue binging this podcast now.
  • PureRED
    Hilarious and Shocking
    As a big Misha fan, I might be biased, but I ADORE The Big Flop. You hear about all these things in the news, but never really know the full scope of what went wrong. Misha and his guests have a way of making these wild stories, funny and informative. It’s always a high point of my week when a new episode pops up.
  • Guacamole_Jon
    Great Pod
    Misha is a great host, many of the Big Flops I don’t even care about but Misha and guests are so funny they keep me listening. I found this pod by chance a week ago and I’m blazing through the episodes starting from the beginning. If I could give The Big Flop for stars I would
  • Loomchick
    Fun . . . and I hope I’m never the subject of an episode!
    I enjoy this podcast so much! It’s fun, informative, and an even a little snarky. It’s a great diversion from all the craziness in the world. I hope we get future episodes on WeWork, Google Glass, Harvey Weinstein, Edsel, Blackberry, US Football League, and Trump Steak/University/Airline/Vodka/etc.
  • KWD4040
    Love but need fresh topics!
    Love the show! Misha is a great hosts and the guests inject a great energy. My one complaint is I with they did more obscure flops rather than the buzzy ones. It gets a little boring when we already know so many details about a flop!
  • KendraAnn5
    I listen to this every single week!
    I look forward to this podcast every time an episode drops! It’s such a unique and fun concept and each episode is so interesting, it leaves me wanting more and more with each new story! I would give this podcast a 15/10 if I could!
  • BMichael Listens
    Needs better guests
    I do enjoy this podcast, but some episodes I can’t get through due to the obnoxiousness of some of Misha’s guests. They don’t bring anything to the table except being loud and idiotic. Please be mindful of who you bring on the show.
  • JDH44
    Biggest Flop
    This podcast is great fun and the host is excellent. I have a suggestion for an episode: America.
