But First, Let’s Talk Nerdy Episode 67, with a special guest appearance by East Coast friend Mike! And we do something we’ve never done before! Martha and Mike force Brittany to make a D&D character. She plays along because she can be a fairy, and actually learns a lot about
Flopcast episode 514! Time for a hugely important correction: Last week we got a couple of obscure Julian Lennon videos mixed up. (The “we” means Kevin. Kornflake was innocent this time…) But it’s an excuse to revisit the wonderfully ridiculous “Stick Around” video, featuring cameos by stars from Square Pegs, Family Ties, The
Flopcast episode 513! This week we let the Chickentown Studios supercomputer randomly determine our discussion topics. (Does this mean we’re completely out of ideas? Oh, that happened six or seven years ago…) The result is an even weirder show than usual. Including: The 40th anniversary of Pac-Man Fever; songwriter Carole
But First, Let’s Talk Nerdy Episode 66! We’re a little late for Valentine’s Day, but Martha and Brittany talk about some of their favorite canon (or mostly canon) couples from four different genres: comics, anime, video games, and “other.” It’s longer than we meant it to be… sorry, not sorry.
Flopcast episode 512! It’s a Tuesday spectacular! This episode was recorded on Tuesday, 2/22/22, so we’re looking at the 2nd, 22nd, 222nd, and 2222nd biggest 1980s pop songs, according to the amazing book Ranking the ’80s. You’d better believe Billy Ocean is involved, and he’s gonna get out of our
Flopcast episode 511! Another weird mix of stuff from our latest Saturday morning recording session (for which we keep forgetting the Cocoa Puffs): For National Whatever Day we’re celebrating a forgotten 1920s silent movie (and also guys named Mike); a box of wine was shipped to the studio from Washington
Flopcast episode 510! Just a weird mix of stuff this time: Kornflake learns that a former New England Patriots quarterback (no, not that one) is now in the wine business, and takes appropriate action; a giant Asian sea eagle has been hanging around Massachusetts, and we’re trying to lure it
Flopcast episode 509! It’s a quick but fun show this week, as we review this year’s nominees for induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Now if it were up to us, the list would include The Monkees, Weird Al, Men Without Hats, Martika, and The New Monkees.
But First, Let’s Talk Nerdy Episode 65 is here! Brittany recounts the criminal career of classic Flash villain Captain Cold, while Martha talks about novelist Anne Rice and her influence on all modern vampire stories. But First, Let’s Talk Nerdy on Instagram! Please rate and review But First, Let’s Talk
We love Canada, and we love goofy public service announcements, so Kornflake has rounded up a bunch of Canadian PSAs to watch and discuss. And while nothing can replace Schoolhouse Rock and Robolar from Mars in our hearts, these videos (mostly from the 80s, of course) are pretty fantastic. They
Flopcast episode 507! Our first Top 4 ½ List of the year was perhaps inspired by how crazy cold it’s been here in Chickentown. The topic is… ice. We have some ice-themed 80s music (remember Australian band Icehouse?), some Karate Kid ice-breaking action, several ice-powered superheroes (from Marvel, DC, and even Pixar),
Flopcast episode 506! Way too cold to leave the house, so today we’re just flipping through another old issue of Dynamite, that classic magazine for kids of the 70s and 80s. (You could get Dynamite through the school book club or by subscription, so either your teacher or your mailman would know you’re
