Flopcast episode 448! As our holiday festivities continue, we’re scrolling through a list of Hallmark Christmas movies… and fixing them.

Flopcast episode 447! It’s been a few months since we played that horrifying game we invented for 2020, Trapped in the House. But as we creep into the holiday season, it’s time for a few rounds of Trapped in the House: Holiday Edition! We have some tough choices to make,
Flopcast episode 446! It’s our Thanksgiving spectacular! But not really! We’re just looking up weird facts about the stuff served at Charlie Brown’s infamous backyard Thanksgiving dinner.

Flopcast episode 442! We lost a hero this week, so this show is our memorial tribute to James Randi. As a magician, The Amazing Randi performed around the world, toured with Alice Cooper, and taught Fonzie an escape trick on Happy Days. (By the way, Happy 75th Birthday to Henry Winkler!)
