Frequent subjects include: Saturday morning cartoons, Dr. Demento-style funny music, TV and movies of the 1970s and 1980s, comic books, classic video games, and, uh, chickens. (We like chickens.)

Flopcast episode 455! Let’s flip through another old issue of Dynamite, the magazine all the cool kids of the 70s and 80s faithfully ordered through the school book club. (Ah, the book club… the reason your teacher had to spend half the day counting nickels…) And for no particular reason, we’re
Flopcast episode 454! Okay, let’s wrap up our 2020 memorial list, with everyone we lost in the second half of the longest year in history.

Flopcast episode 451! It’s our final show of 2020, so let’s look back at the BEST YEAR EVER. Okay, maybe it wasn’t… but we still managed to keep our goofy show flopping along by Zoom every week. (Of course we miss having Kornflake live in Chickentown Studios… but on the
