Flopcast episode 273! It’s a summertime catch up episode, before we completely shift into frantic get-ready-for-DragonCon mode! Discussed this week: Spider-Man Homecoming (they made another Kornflake-friendly superhero movie!), a Pink Floyd tribute show from Niki Luparelli and the Gold Diggers (called “The Blonde Side of the Moon,” of course), TV Guidance Counselor
Flopcast episode 272! We’re gonna need a bigger podcast, because we’re celebrating Shark Week with a ridiculous shark-themed Top 4 ½ List! We have shark cartoons, shark TV shows, shark songs, shark candy, and perhaps even a real live shark. We also look at episode 6 of High Feather, in which
Flopcast episode 271! We’re back from Minnesota with a full report on CONvergence, an annual gathering of awesome crazy people who are really into convention badge ribbons. (We may have given out more Flopcast ribbons this year than ever before! It’s the boldest fashion accessory of the season.) Our report
Flopcast episode 270! Our excruciating all-summer-long review of High Feather continues! In episode 4, the kids publish the camp newspaper (using incredible technology like mimeograph machines and typewriters), and we learn a goofy apple-picking song too. (How did this show not sweep the Emmy Awards?) It’s also National Gummy Worm Day, which
Flopcast episode 269! Kornflake tells us about Boom Box Parade Day (probably the biggest American holiday celebrated on July 4th), so stock up on D batteries and take to the streets. Meanwhile, Kevin and Kornflake’s recent activities include a trip to Vermont (featuring frogs, whistlepigs, and cheap CDs), a trip
Flopcast episode 268! Meteor Day is this week, and it’s a painful reminder that we can never remember which ones are meteors, which are meteorites, and which are meteoroids. (There must be a better way. Let’s just call them all meat-balls.) Meanwhile our summer-long review of High Feather (a forgotten
Flopcast episode 267! Flopcast listeners follow up on last week’s turtle list with some favorite turtles of their own (yikes, we missed some good ones); Kornflake attends a Jim’s Big Ego house concert along with her close personal friend Mr. Peanut; we loved the new Wonder Woman movie, even though
Flopcast episode 266! It’s mostly turtle talk this week, kids — join us for a Top 4 ½ List of our favorite turtles! The list includes a ninja turtle or two, of course, as well as some slightly lesser known turtles from animation, comic books, music, movies, literature, and perhaps
Flopcast episode 265! It’s a mostly music-themed little show this week, with quick concert reports on Ben Folds (with the Boston Pops), Petty Morals, Go Betty Go, and The Dollyrots. We also recommend the new album from comedy band Power Salad, fail to attend an a capella festival (which is
Flopcast episode 264! We have an unusual show this week, and needless to say, it involves Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Years ago, we rescued a weird old book from a Woonsocket library book sale. It’s called “My Private Life: A Personal Record For the Teen Years”… and this copy was actually
Flopcast episode 263! Kornflake celebrates National Title Track Day with another goofy Flopcast game, in which we must identify album title tracks. (It would have been so much easier if we only used Air Supply songs.) Then Kevin reports on Boston’s Women in Comedy Festival, with shows featuring our own
Flopcast episode 262! Yes, our goofy little podcast is five years old this week, so we’re celebrating, as expected, with coffee and more coffee. But we’re also looking back at all our amazing guests (yikes, for a show that doesn’t have a lot of guests, we’ve had a lot of
