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.) There’s also lots of convention talk, as we regularly attend DragonCon, MarsCon, and other nerdy gatherings. We’re frightened and confused. Join us!

Flopcast episode 361! Two more concert reports this week: First 80s pop star Taylor Dayne came to town, and we told it to her heart, proved our love, and didn’t rush her. We also read her new autobiography, so we’re bursting with fun Taylor facts, only some of which involve
Flopcast episode 360! Here’s our big silly report from Northeast Comic Con in exotic Boxborough, Massachusetts! Featuring: Rubber Chicken Comics, Lost in Space’s Mark Goddard, weird comedy from Mark Gallagher, kaiju rock from Gwell-O, chicken songs from The Fools, and Cesar Romero rumors from Gilbert Gottfried! Then it’s time for another round
Flopcast episode 359! Just a couple of quick items this week: A Monkees concert report and a Captain Marvelmovie report. Reaching our beloved Monkees (Mike and Micky) involved a long perilous ferry ride to Long Island; ’twas about an hour at sea, and we’ll never be the same. Getting to the
Flopcast episode 358! Kornflake braved the subzero temperatures of winter in Minnesota, and now she’s back with her annual report from MarsCon! It’s the science fiction convention that also has a whole track of comedy music, and this year’s performers included old and new Flopcast friends like Insane Ian, Cutesylvania,
Flopcast episode 357! Here we go, kids! Time to flip though another goofy old issue of Dynamite magazine! (It’s a Flopcast tradition, especially when we have to wait until next week for Kornflake’s MarsCon report.) This is a 1978 Dynamite, and the cover story is, “The Bee Gees vs. The Beatles: Who’s the
Flopcast episode 356! We’ve been threatening to do a whole show about creepy songs for quite a while… and here we are. The history of pop music is just lousy with inappropriate songs, and this week we’re counting down our favorites (?) in a very creepy Top 4 ½ List.
Flopcast episode 355! In our first official installment of Kornflake On the Road, Kornflake checks out Chris’s Comics in Seabrook, New Hampshire, and we recall the first comic book shops we ever visited. (We recommend Starship Excalibur in Providence, Rhode Island, assuming you can get yourself back to 1984.) Our
Flopcast episode 354! It’s a short show, because Kornflake called in sick, and the rest of us should have. But Kevin and the Mayor of Chickentown are still here, all miserable and confused, for a quick goofy conversation. Subjects include: The big Doctor Who convention, Gallifrey One! (Hey, isn’t the Mayor supposed
Flopcast episode 353! It’s miserably cold here in Chickentown, and we just can’t take it anymore, but we still managed to prepare a goofy little show for you. Including: Kevin reviews The Van, a dreadful 1977 movie with Danny DeVito (and a weird Brady Bunch connection)! Kornflake has questions about yacht rock! (Don’t
Flopcast episode 352! Once again we braved the horrifying winter weather to cover Arisia, Boston’s long-running (30 years!) science fiction and fantasy convention. We were there for you. (We were also there because we’re huge geeks.) This year’s report features: A weird new hotel! Why Kornflake couldn’t be there! Kevin’s
Flopcast episode 351! Just a big weird mix of stuff this week, including: Patton Oswalt’s birthday, the Big Chicken in Atlanta, storytelling at The Moth, the 100th anniversary of Boston’s Great Molasses Flood (as observed by our friends The Great Molasses Flood), another round of Capes or Apes (featuring some
Flopcast episode 350! This week we wrap up our tribute to all the pop culture stars we lost in 2018. (And just in time, since our 2019 list is already growing…) From the music world, we say goodbye to a Cranberry, a Bay City Roller, way too many drummers, the
