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 372! Kevin and the Mayor of Chickentown are preparing for a silly, geeky Fourth of July weekend at CONvergence! It’s one of our favorite conventions, it’s in Minneapolis, and there is a giant blue chicken sculpture nearby. Perfect. Guests at this year’s CONvergence include writers Peter David and
Flopcast episode 271! Here at last is our God’s Comics concert review! Every ten years, Kevin gets together with friends Sean and Adam to form God’s Comics, a cover band that only plays Elvis Costello, Men at Work, and The Monkees. In the wake of our legendary 1999 and 2009
Flopcast episode 370! It’s no secret that Kevin and Kornflake are longtime fans of Brooklyn’s ambassadors of love, They Might Be Giants. (Their matching Doctor Worm tattoos sort of gave it away.) And since John Linnell (you know, the keyboard/accordion half of the band) has a birthday this week, we’re
Flopcast episode 369! Here’s an extra-special, extra-weird show we’ve been meaning to unleash for a few weeks. It’s the adventures of Kornflake and Doornail at MarsCon 2019! Yeah, we already discussed MarsCon (the Minnesota science fiction convention which also hosts our beloved Dementia Track of comedy music) back in Flopcast
Flopcast episode 368! It’s an extra-goofy show, because we’re recording from separate remote locations, AND our recording equipment keeps malfunctioning! But we’re here anyway, just for you. And this random catch-up sort of show features: Joe Cool vs. Mr. Cool; Star Warsburlesque; stand-up comedy with Dana Gould, Bobcat Goldthwait, and friends;
Flopcast episode 367! We’re just days away from the third ever performance of Kevin’s weird cover band, God’s Comics! So this week we have a special interview with our God’s Comics co-conspirator, Sean Fullerton! Kevin and Sean recall their mid-90s glory days at the late great Grind coffeehouse, and how
Flopcast episode 366! It’s our goofy anniversary show, as Kevin and Kornflake celebrate seven years of The Flopcast! Yes, we’ve released a Flopcast every single week since May 2012, because clearly there is something wrong with us. Join us as we run through some fascinating Flopcast stats! (Have we done
Flopcast episode 365! Kevin and the Mayor road trip down to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for an evening of science and silliness with George Hrab and the Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe. (We assumed Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey would meet us in Bethlehem… but we had a lot of growing up
Flopcast episode 364! Time for another Top 4 ½ List, and the subject this week is… wonder. (Why yes, we are out of ideas, how could you tell?) Our list of favorite wonder stuff includes some obvious picks like Wonder Woman and Stevie Wonder… but things get weirder as we
Flopcast episode 363! After slacking off through the miserable winter, we attempt to catch up with TWO Kornflake on the Road segments. First Kornflake visits a beachside coffee shop and returns with a bag of mysterious prizes. Then Kornflake joins Kevin and the Mayor at a crowded Boston bar for
Flopcast episode 362! While Kornflake’s away, Kevin and the Mayor discuss a recent stand-up comedy show from Saturday Night Live veterans Jon Lovitz (Tonto!), Tim Meadows (The Ladies Man!), and Chris Kattan (Mango!). ‘Twas a fun show, especially the opening set by a friend of the Flopcast, TV Guidance Counselor’s Ken Reid.
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
