It’s World Hippo Day, and we’re always up for a high-stakes round of Hungry Hungry Hippos… but we’re still terrified by Henrietta from the New Zoo Revue. Meanwhile in this week’s Chickens in the News, a weird bird known as the Bin Chicken emerges as a contender for Australia’s Bird of
Flopcast episode 300! Yes, it’s been 300 long weeks of giggling about stupid things for your amusement. (And yes, this has all been part of our court-ordered community service. Yikes, that judge was merciless.) So this week Kornflake has 300 other podcasts to recommend (don’t worry, she moves quickly), while
Flopcast episode 299! Once again, it’s time for our annual memorial show, so we’re looking back on everyone we lost in 2017, from the world of pop culture and beyond. (And once again, it’s our longest Flopcast ever! We just can’t help it.) Our list includes familiar old favorites from
Kevin, Kornflake, and the Mayor of Chickentown have a full report on our weekend at “New England’s largest and most diverse science fiction and fantasy convention,” Arisia! Including: Kevin’s panels on Riverdale and Saturday morning TV (yes, Robbie Rist was mentioned, more than once), keytar-based synthrock (and a Taylor Dayne cover!) from
We’ve been busy creeping around the Arisia convention in Boston, but we saved something special for this week’s show, from a whole different convention! It’s a panel from the American Sci-Fi Classics track at DragonCon 2017! Join Kevin along with Scott Viguié, Anthony Taylor, and Andrew Gaska, as they discuss…
Flopcast episode 296! We’re in the middle of our 1990s-themed shows, so it’s finally time to play the 90s Movie Game! (You may recall that we invented this goofy game last year. Check out Flopcast episodes 258 and 261 for the 80s and 70s versions.) The wacky premise is: For
Why, it’s New Year’s Eve, so Kevin and Kornflake grab some coffee (that most festive of beverages) and look back at 2017. ‘Twas a horrifying year overall (did you notice?), but we got through it together, and managed to have some fun here on our goofy little show. Our convention
Flopcast episode 294! It’s a quick show this holiday week, so you’ll have plenty of time to dedicate to avoiding your family. But in the spirit of the season, we play a round of Figgy Pudding Pages, and discuss if kids prefer cool electronic games or weird hair appliances for
Flopcast episode 293! Our goofy holiday festivities continue with a special visit from the Mayor of Chickentown! And the Mayor is here to present a Top 4 ½ List of Mayors! Specifically, all those wacky mayors from our favorite holiday cartoons! You may recall the mayor from ‘Twas the Night Before
Flopcast episode 292! This week we take a quick look back at some favorite cartoons, and one very memorable sax solo, from 1992. Also: Kevin returns to Oberon for a Nightmare Before Christmas concert and burlesque show with Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys, and Kevin and the Mayor sneak
Flopcast episode 291! It’s a holiday spectacular, sort of, but not really! First, Kornflake’s 1991 edition of National Whatever Day celebrates the debut of Ren and Stimpy, a show considered quite outrageous in its time. How innocent we were. Kornflake has also made her annual pilgrimage to the lobster trap Christmas
Flopcast episode 290! Our 1980s-themed shows have ended (but for how long?), and yikes, here come the 1990s. We’ll get through this ten-episode descent into madness together, starting this week with a look at the year 1990. Yes, MC Hammer (and his giant pants) ruled the pop charts… but weirder
