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

(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
It’s movie night in Chickentown once again, because Kornflake waited a quarter of a century to see one of Kevin’s all-time favorites, 1993’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Flopcast episode 337! It’s National TV Talk Show Host Day, which makes us realize we don’t really watch TV talk shows anymore. Let’s move on. Next we have a long-delayed edition of Chickens in the News, in which an Australian chicken helps to build a sidewalk. Hey, maybe someday the
Flopcast episode 336! This week we conclude our look back at last month’s concert by After These Messages, a weird new band (Kevin is the lead singer, sort of) that only plays TV theme songs, and may never play again. (You’re welcome!) The second half of the concert included plenty
Flopcast episode 335! That show we’d been plugging for months finally happened, and the town of Haverhill, Massachusetts will never be the same.
