Flopcast episode 217! It’s miserably hot here in Chickentown, and local scientists (who are totally not just rubber chickens in lab coats) say that summer is to blame. They’re probably right; we can’t blame EVERYTHING on the cancellation of Knight Rider. (But you must admit, it’s been a rough thirty
Flopcast episode 216! Kevin and Kornflake are back from Northeast Comic Con, where they found Muppet choirs, Rubber Chicken Comics, the Lost in Space chariot, and some of our favorite costumers (including Cosplay Dad, RW Martin as Indiana Jones, and Brandon the Shapeshifter as Thundarr the Barbarian). And the convention’s
Flopcast episode 215! Kevin and Kornflake want you to celebrate National Selfie Day, especially if you’re a macaque; we creep down to the rock clubs of Providence, Rhode Island in search of Mongoose Molly; we have a new movie review, all thanks to a power outage; and we look ahead
Flopcast episode 214! Kevin and Kornflake are talking music again this week, following a concert by 80s legends Cyndi Lauper and Boy George. It’s been over thirty years since Cyndi conquered the world of pop music, with a little help from The Hooters, The Goonies, and Rowdy Roddy Piper. These
Flopcast episode 213! The Mayor of Chickentown joins Kevin and Kornflake for a very special Flopcast celebrating fifty years of The Monkees! We discuss our earliest memories of the TV show (from reruns on a Boston UHF station in the 70s), recall our earliest Monkees album purchases (horribly scratched vinyl
Flopcast episode 212! Kids, this week we’re talking about snakes. (Blame our tricky pal Matt, who suggested another weird Top 4 ½ List…) Whether you’re totally creeped out by snakes (a touch of ophidiophobia, perhaps), or you like them creeping all over you (Jake “The Snake” Roberts could help with
Flopcast episode 211! As summertime approaches here in Chickentown, Kevin and Kornflake are back on the iced coffee, featuring our beloved coffee cubes! (Coffee cubes are like Time for Timer’s “Sunshine on a Stick,” but without the toothpicks, and you use coffee instead of orange juice. We’ll send you the
Flopcast episode 210! Another superhero anniversary is upon us, as Green Arrow turns 75 this year! So we’re looking back at the long crazy history of our favorite comic book archer (sorry, Hawkeye). We recall how Green Arrow totally ripped off Batman (Arrow Car, Arrow Cave, kid sidekick…), his Justice
Flopcast episode 209! In honor of National Night Shift Workers Day, we’re completely exhausted! But we still manage to creep up to Lowell to see Gunpowder Gelatine and Aerochix (covering the music of Queen and Aerosmith, respectively); we return to the Triiibe exhibit at the Fitchburg Art Museum, and do
Flopcast episode 208! Last week Harvard University was invaded by Stormtroopers (and at least one Wookiee), possibly because Carrie Fisher was there receiving the Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism. We were there too, to cheer for our Princess, although our view was somewhat obstructed by a giant bird.
Flopcast episode 207! Can Kornflake see all the costumes, collectibles, and celebrity guests at Super Megafest in just ninety minutes, and not be late for karaoke? Let’s find out. We did indeed find plenty of crazy characters there, including our friends from Rubber Chicken Comics and Wicked Geeky, costumer R.
Flopcast episode 206! We received a long list of suggestions for this week’s Top 4 ½ List… and we picked the very dumbest one. So please enjoy our list of guys named Bill. (Yes, despite “Bill” being such an exotic name, we were able to think of a few.) Our
