Flopcast episode 692! With a free week before we start like eight months of nonstop Dragon Con coverage, Kevin and the Mayor are trying something new: We’re recording the show from outside Chickentown Studios, in the great and filthy outdoors. Hopefully this will provide a more festive summertime atmosphere, until
Flopcast episode 691! If you’ve just been waiting all Summer long for The Flopcast’s annual robot-themed Top 4½ List… well, first, what’s wrong with you? Go to the beach or something. But also… here it is! Our theme this year is “recycled robots.” Sometimes a robot would be designed for

First it’s Aimee Mann in New Hampshire with her regular opener (and no stranger to the nerd world) Jonathan Coulton.

Flopcast episode 689! After ten long silly weeks, we’ve arrived at the end of our 1980s-themed episodes. And 1989 was a huge year at the movies, so we thought we’d play one more round of our Movie Recasting Movie Character Movie Game. That means we’re pulling characters from randomly-selected 1989

Flopcast episode 685! It’s the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, and we have a guy who was there. Our friend Rich Wilhelm takes us on a deep dive through his long day at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia for the biggest charity concert in history. Including: General admission tickets at the
Flopcast episode 684! The Mayor finally gets a week off, because we have a special guest. Judy is one of Kevin’s running buddies, and she teaches us all about ultramarathon running! (Have you ever run 100 miles in a day? Judy has. Don’t you feel completely exhausted just reading that?)
Flopcast episode 683! As our 1980s-themed episodes roll along, we return to the weird movie game we played a few weeks ago. But this time we’re looking at the movies of 1983.
