Flopcast episode 365! Kevin and the Mayor road trip down to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for an evening of science and silliness with George Hrab and the Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe. (We assumed Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey would meet us in Bethlehem… but we had a lot of growing up
Flopcast episode 364! Time for another Top 4 ½ List, and the subject this week is… wonder. (Why yes, we are out of ideas, how could you tell?) Our list of favorite wonder stuff includes some obvious picks like Wonder Woman and Stevie Wonder… but things get weirder as we
Flopcast episode 363! After slacking off through the miserable winter, we attempt to catch up with TWO Kornflake on the Road segments. First Kornflake visits a beachside coffee shop and returns with a bag of mysterious prizes. Then Kornflake joins Kevin and the Mayor at a crowded Boston bar for
Flopcast episode 362! While Kornflake’s away, Kevin and the Mayor discuss a recent stand-up comedy show from Saturday Night Live veterans Jon Lovitz (Tonto!), Tim Meadows (The Ladies Man!), and Chris Kattan (Mango!). ‘Twas a fun show, especially the opening set by a friend of the Flopcast, TV Guidance Counselor’s Ken Reid.
Flopcast episode 361! Two more concert reports this week: First 80s pop star Taylor Dayne came to town, and we told it to her heart, proved our love, and didn’t rush her. We also read her new autobiography, so we’re bursting with fun Taylor facts, only some of which involve
Flopcast episode 360! Here’s our big silly report from Northeast Comic Con in exotic Boxborough, Massachusetts! Featuring: Rubber Chicken Comics, Lost in Space’s Mark Goddard, weird comedy from Mark Gallagher, kaiju rock from Gwell-O, chicken songs from The Fools, and Cesar Romero rumors from Gilbert Gottfried! Then it’s time for another round
Flopcast episode 359! Just a couple of quick items this week: A Monkees concert report and a Captain Marvelmovie report. Reaching our beloved Monkees (Mike and Micky) involved a long perilous ferry ride to Long Island; ’twas about an hour at sea, and we’ll never be the same. Getting to the
Flopcast episode 358! Kornflake braved the subzero temperatures of winter in Minnesota, and now she’s back with her annual report from MarsCon! It’s the science fiction convention that also has a whole track of comedy music, and this year’s performers included old and new Flopcast friends like Insane Ian, Cutesylvania,
Flopcast episode 357! Here we go, kids! Time to flip though another goofy old issue of Dynamite magazine! (It’s a Flopcast tradition, especially when we have to wait until next week for Kornflake’s MarsCon report.) This is a 1978 Dynamite, and the cover story is, “The Bee Gees vs. The Beatles: Who’s the
Flopcast episode 356! We’ve been threatening to do a whole show about creepy songs for quite a while… and here we are. The history of pop music is just lousy with inappropriate songs, and this week we’re counting down our favorites (?) in a very creepy Top 4 ½ List.
Flopcast episode 355! In our first official installment of Kornflake On the Road, Kornflake checks out Chris’s Comics in Seabrook, New Hampshire, and we recall the first comic book shops we ever visited. (We recommend Starship Excalibur in Providence, Rhode Island, assuming you can get yourself back to 1984.) Our
Flopcast episode 354! It’s a short show, because Kornflake called in sick, and the rest of us should have. But Kevin and the Mayor of Chickentown are still here, all miserable and confused, for a quick goofy conversation. Subjects include: The big Doctor Who convention, Gallifrey One! (Hey, isn’t the Mayor supposed
