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
Flopcast episode 289! In the final installment of our latest ten-part look at the 1980s, we recall the debut of the Energizer Bunny, and review how frightening Top 40 radio had become by 1989. (We’d rather listen to that stupid rabbit pound its little drum than suffer through any more
Flopcast episode 288! Kornflake is off this week (or is she???), but the Mayor of Chickentown is here to discuss the movies and music of 1988. (At the movies, it was a big year for Uma Thurman, Winona Ryder, and Dennis Farina’s mustache. Meanwhile on the radio, the Escape Club
Our ridiculous ten-episode trip through the 80s continues with a quick look at 1987! For astronomy fans, a supernova was visible in the sky; meanwhile back on Earth, we were dancing to Pet Shop Boys and Swing Out Sister. (The supernova, apparently not a fan of 80s pop, was unimpressed,
It’s our goofy Halloween show, but we’re also celebrating the year 1986! Oprah Winfrey’s talk show debuted (but who cares), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted its first class (which totally should have included Air Supply), and Madonna invited you to make her “True Blue” music video. (Did
