He’s also the host of fellow Maximum Fun podcast The Flop House.

Facing off against Elliott is actress Felicia Day. She’s most known for creating and starring in the online series The Guild. She’ll tell us all about some of her favorite topics and explain some of things she’s learned as she navigates motherhood. In this episode, about 90’s sitcoms, classic films and the everlasting star-power of dinosaurs.
