Flopcast episode 317! Kevin and the Mayor of Chickentown are back from a weird little trip to Ohio! (It’s the Buckeye State, you know, named after Popeye’s mortal enemy, Buckeye.) They visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (where they totally failed to get Air Supply inducted), Ratsy’s Store
Flopcast episode 316! It’s a quick but action-packed show this week. First, National Whatever Day somehow involves singing telegrams, kites, and a dentist. Then in Chickens in the News, Payo the Rooster terrorizes a Miami neighborhood, and we approve. Plus: the weird tale of a missing Amazon package, a Strange Brew review
Flopcast episode 315! After a long cruel winter here in Chickentown, we finally celebrate the return of our beloved iced coffee, with our beloved coffee cubes. (This is what Kornflake waits for all year.) And while we could (and sometimes do) just talk about coffee all night, there are a
Flopcast episode 314! This week we have three concert reports from three different states: First we creep up to Portland, Maine in search of lobsters and They Might Be Giants. Then we find two of our favorite beverages and/or bands, cider and Petty Morals, in spooky Salem, Massachusetts. And finally,
Flopcast episode 313! This is what happens when Kornflake chooses the subject for our Top 4 ½ List: In honor of Cinco de Mayo (or our superior version, Cinco de Pie-o), the subject is… five. Yes, we’re counting down “five” things… four and a half of them. The list includes
Flopcast episode 312! Grab a bowl of Frankenberry, because we’re flashing back to Arisia (our favorite local science fiction convention), where Kevin moderated a panel called “Cereal and Cartoons: Saturday Mornings Revisited”! Joining Kevin on the panel were filmmaker Kevin Cafferty, Andy Hicks (of the Coal Hill A/V Club podcast),
Flopcast episode 311! It’s a quick show this week, but we still knock out three classic Flopcast segments for you, right before our big nap. In Chickens in the News, a rubber chicken museum is coming to Seattle (compliments of the mad geniuses at Archie McPhee), and yeah, we’re sort
Flopcast episode 310! The stupid snow is melting, and we’re starting to leave the house again, so we have a trio of concert reports for you this week. First, just ahead of their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Bon Jovi came to Boston to see and/or rock a
Flopcast episode 309! Join us as we flop back 42 years and flip through a 1976 issue of Dynamite! This classic magazine for kids was a staple of school book clubs from the mid-70s through the early 90s, and we recently acquired a big stupid stack of them. For this week’s
Flopcast episode 308! It’s the long-awaited return of a classic Flopcast segment, the Top 4 ½ List! And it’s an extra-stupid one, because the subject is simply… Peter. Yeah, we’re listing our favorite Peters from music (yikes, lots of musicians are named Peter), sitcoms (don’t play ball in the house,
Flopcast episode 307! While Kornflake was away at MarsCon, Kevin was busy with silly things too. One of our comedy music heroes, “Weird Al” Yankovic, brought his “Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour” to Boston for two shows in the same day… and Kevin showed up for both of them. This
Flopcast episode 306! Despite a delightful series of weather-related delays and flight cancellations, Kornflake has returned from Minnesota with a full report on MarsCon! It’s one of our very favorite conventions, thanks to its Dementia Track of comedy music concerts, under the direction of our pal the great Luke Ski.
