Frequent subjects include: Saturday morning cartoons, Dr. Demento-style funny music, TV and movies of the 1970s and 1980s, comic books, classic video games, and, uh, chickens. (We like chickens.) There’s also lots of convention talk, as we regularly attend DragonCon, MarsCon, and other nerdy gatherings. We’re frightened and confused. Join us!

Kevin and Kornflake are back in Chickentown, but can’t stop screaming about FuMPFeST! This week we review our whole crazy weekend at this funny music convention in Wheeling, Illinois (a town Kornflake would visit just to have breakfast).

Most scientists agree that Kevin is tragically obsessed with the classic 1984 movie Footloose. Kornflake, however, had never actually seen it! Thus our mission was clear — we had to watch Footloose, and then try to make sense of it all. So this week, we discuss the Footloose cast (which was completely
We have quite a mixed bag (but not a “What’s in the Bag?”) of silly topics this week. You’ll learn why Kornflake is totally obsessed with Highlander, how to look insane when you see the new Avengers movie, how to stare creepily at folk singers through a window, and how
It’s the end of an era in late night TV, as David Letterman wraps up 33 years of stupid pets and guys under the seats. So this week, we’re looking back on how we discovered Dave in the 80s, how he influenced Kevin’s goofy band, and how he inspired Kornflake

It’s been too long since we presented a good old fashioned ridiculous Flopcast Top 4 ½ List… and so this week, we bring you a Betty list. (Hey, we take that “ridiculous” part pretty seriously.) We’re listing our favorite Betty cartoon characters (from the Stone Age and beyond), our favorite
Our report from the South Coast Toy and Comic Show includes: silly cat comics; a very tempting Monster Squad board game; the stars of Buck Rogers, Clerks, and The Last Dragon; and our dream of unleashing the New England Brethren of Pirates on Fish Island. Also: comedian Marc Maron (whose
According to the Elders, it’s time to celebrate 75 years of Captain Marvel! Yes, young Billy Batson has been screaming “Shazam!” and fighting crime (and Superman’s lawyers) as Captain Marvel since 1940. This week we’ll look at the comic books, the movie serials, the cartoons, and of course, the live
Kevin and Kornflake are finally back in Chickentown, just in time for Jackie Chan Day. (We’re celebrating by doing our own stunt work throughout the entire podcast.)
