Flopcast episode 330! We’re busy at DragonCon this week, but the podcast must go on! So we prepared this silly little show in advance, just for you. And what could be sillier than flipping through another old issue of Dynamite magazine? We selected an issue from 40 years ago based on the
As usual, Kevin will be in Atlanta over Labor Day weekend for DragonCon, surrounded by 80,000 other very weird humans. This giant convention has an amazing guest list again this year, including cast members from Sesame Street, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Star Trek, Black Lightning, Stranger Things, and lots more. Musical guests include Flopcast favorites
Flopcast episode 328! We have yet another retro concert report, as Kevin and the Mayor enjoyed an evening of Chicago-style (and Karate Kid-style) soft rock with Peter Cetera. (We did it all for the glory of being stuck in the mid-80s.) We also attended a screening of the new Mr. Rogers
Flopcast episode 327! Our summer retro concert reviews continue as Dennis DeYoung (the voice of Styx) visits historic Lexington, Massachusetts to rock our faces and our Mr. Roboto Kilroy masks. Meanwhile, Kornflake catches up on her 2018 movie project with Steve Martin’s L.A. Story, National Whatever Day almost goes into reruns,
Flopcast episode 326! You know what summer means here in Chickentown. Yes, it’s time for our seventh (!) annual robot-themed Top 4 ½ List. And this year’s subject is… GIANT ROBOTS. We have giant robots from 1960s cartoons, 1970s television, 1980s concert tours, and more. (A certain Iron Giant may
Flopcast episode 325! Not sure if this has ever come up on the show before, but we’re sort of obsessed with 1980s music. (Please don’t tell anybody.) So your Flopcast hosts just had to check out the Retro Futura concert tour, featuring ABC, Modern English, Belinda Carlisle of the Go-Go’s,
Flopcast episode 324! Okay, here at last is our full report from CONvergence! (It’s a science fiction convention that’s so festive, we creep all the way to Minnesota to be there every year.) Featuring: Star Trek’s Marina Sirtis! MST3K’s Mary Jo Pehl! Music from Feng Shui Ninjas, The Faithful Sidekicks, and legendary synthpop band
Flopcast episode 323! Kornflake reports on FlopFest, her annual summer celebration featuring hammocks, sunburns, cover bands on trucks, and not enough vodka. She also reviews Solo: A Star Wars Story (quick version: not enough Tawny Kitaen) and visits a well-chlorinated, sea bird-infested water park. Then Kevin has concert reports on U2 (and
Flopcast episode 322! Kevin is far from Chickentown this week, hiding in Minnesota with all the cool kids at CONvergence. So we have something special instead of our regular Flopcast programming. We’re flashing back to DragonCon 2017… and we’re going to court. Specifically, this is Classic Sci-Fi Court, compliments of
Flopcast episode 321! It’s a bizarre mix of silly items this week… First we celebrate Kevin Bacon’s birthday with a round or two of the Kevin Bacon game. (This game would be much easier if Kevin and Mr. T would finally star in the buddy cop movie of our dreams…)
Flopcast episode 320! Watch out, fair citizens of the Upper Midwest! Kevin is creeping back to Bloomington, Minnesota for CONvergence, an amazing science fiction convention happening July 5th-8th! This year’s guests include Marina Sirtis (one of our favorite Star Trek counselors), Mary Jo Pehl (one of our favorite MST3K Mads)… and a classic 80s
Flopcast episode 319! Are you ready for the summer? Not us… we are not exactly “outdoorsy” around here. But we do know how to hide inside with iced coffee, pizza pie, and a classic summer movie. So this week we’re watching Meatballs, the beloved 1979 summer camp comedy starring Chris Makepeace
