Flopcast episode 353! It’s miserably cold here in Chickentown, and we just can’t take it anymore, but we still managed to prepare a goofy little show for you. Including: Kevin reviews The Van, a dreadful 1977 movie with Danny DeVito (and a weird Brady Bunch connection)! Kornflake has questions about yacht rock! (Don’t
Flopcast episode 352! Once again we braved the horrifying winter weather to cover Arisia, Boston’s long-running (30 years!) science fiction and fantasy convention. We were there for you. (We were also there because we’re huge geeks.) This year’s report features: A weird new hotel! Why Kornflake couldn’t be there! Kevin’s
Flopcast episode 351! Just a big weird mix of stuff this week, including: Patton Oswalt’s birthday, the Big Chicken in Atlanta, storytelling at The Moth, the 100th anniversary of Boston’s Great Molasses Flood (as observed by our friends The Great Molasses Flood), another round of Capes or Apes (featuring some
Flopcast episode 350! This week we wrap up our tribute to all the pop culture stars we lost in 2018. (And just in time, since our 2019 list is already growing…) From the music world, we say goodbye to a Cranberry, a Bay City Roller, way too many drummers, the
Flopcast episode 349! As we start a weird new year, it’s time to look back at all the pop culture legends we lost in 2018. Now last year’s memorial show turned into our longest episode ever; we were so dizzy and confused that we almost forgot to stop. So this
Flopcast episode 348! A goofy new year means goofy New Year’s Resolutions for your Flopcast hosts! Kornflake intends to hit the road and explore strange new places, possibly in a talking dune buggy. Meanwhile Kevin’s plans might be more vague, but they’re no less weird. Stick around for a ridiculous
Flopcast episode 347! For our final show of 2018, we’re just relaxing in the studio, enjoying our crazy black coffee, and looking back at a long strange year of Flopcasting. This year we covered a bunch of conventions (while dressed like Cloris Leachman, of course), even more concerts (yes, we
Flopcast episode 346! It’s a quick holiday music-themed show to get you through Christmas week, featuring a Top 4 ½ List of Kornflake’s favorite Christmas cover songs! (Kevin didn’t bother making a list, but he did check Kornflake’s list. Twice.) You’ll know some of these acts (Hall and Oates make
Flopcast episode 345! The Mayor of Chickentown joins us for one of our favorite subjects/obsessions: animated holiday specials. Seriously, we spend a stupid amount of time thinking about them all year. So this week we present a Top 4 ½ List of our favorite supporting characters from holiday cartoons! (Not
Flopcast episode 344! It’s our final Flopcast movie night of the year, and Kornflake is finally suffering through the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special! (Kevin has seen it already, of course, but is doomed to repeat it again and again…) If you’ve experienced it too (either forty years ago on TV,
Flopcast episode 343! Gather around the Flopcast lobster trap tree, kids, because it’s time for another Top 4 ½ List! (Sorry that we’ve been neglecting this beloved segment since our summer robot list…) And the subject is “Geek Blind Spots”, as we list all the hugely popular geeky stuff about
Flopcast episode 342! Kevin and Kornflake ring in the holidays with our favorite 90s Boston band, Letters to Cleo! (You may recall their hit song “Here and Now,” or their appearances in 10 Things I Hate About You and Parks and Recreation, or singer Kay Hanley’s vocals for Josie and the Pussycats… or if
