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
Flopcast episode 318! Not much happening here in Chickentown, and it’s been a few weeks, so once again we’re turning to our big crazy stack of Dynamite magazines. This time we’re looking at a 1982 issue of Dynamite with a smiling Lisa Whelchel (you know her as Blair, your favorite Facts of Life rich girl) on
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,
