Flopcast episode 180! This week our usual National Whatever Day segment is replaced by a weird tribute to 1980! (Next week we’ll tackle 1981. And because we’re so obsessed with the 80s, we’ll keep this going for ten weeks, or until we’re shut down by the government.) 1980 was the

We’re less than two weeks from our favorite geek event of the whole stupid year: DragonCon. So before we begin the long, treacherous journey from Chickentown to Atlanta (we got a great deal on a MTV LeRun skate-bike), here’s our DragonCon preview show! This year’s guest list includes some of
Summertime is robot time (as all good citizens know here in Chickentown), and so it’s time for our fourth annual robot-themed Top 4 ½ List! This year, in a desperate attempt to keep things interesting, we’re looking specifically at EVIL robots. Evil robots from movies, TV, and video games… evil
It’s another Flopcast convention report, this time from Boston Comic Con! (Official convention motto: “Let’s see how many Harley Quinns we can squish into one building!” It sounds better in the original Latin.)
