Flopcast episode 200! Oops! Kevin, Kornflake, and the Mayor of Chickentown are trapped in a walk-in freezer! (Kornflake didn’t know the door locked automatically!) But while waiting to be rescued by a wacky neighbor, they recall favorite moments from past Flopcast episodes through a series of annoying old clips. Okay,
Flopcast episode 199! This week we’re talking with novelist (The Perfect Comeback of Caroline Jacobs), storyteller (The Moth), and podcaster (Boy vs. Girl) Matthew Dicks! Matthew and Kevin grew up in the same tiny town, rode the same stupid school bus, and were the only non-girl flute players in the
Flopcast episode 198! Because we tend to get everything wrong, we have some corrections from a previous Flopcast, mostly involving astronauts and Monkees; a recent benefit show by Dar Williams and Catie Curtis turned wonderfully Schoolhouse Rock-ish; the Fitchburg Art Museum has an amazing new exhibit by our friends from
On this week’s episode of Earth Station MCU, John and Jen talk “Agent Carter” ratings, comments on Hulk and comedy from the “Ragnorok” director, and the future of Trish on “Jessica Jones.” John geeks out over Lego Avengers, Jen squees over getting to see the cast of “Gotham”, and “Smoke
One of the hallmarks of Agent Carter’s first season was its willingness to look at gender issues during its period setting, and this season continues the trend, while adding another issue: race. This week’s episode both explicitly and implicitly addresses the erasure of African-Americans from the stories of the time

Flopcast episode 197! Kevin and Kornflake celebrate 75 years of the King of Atlantis, the guy in the scaly orange shirt (perhaps not the fanciest of superhero costumes), Aquaman! Yes, Aquaman has been talking to the fish since 1941, he’s a founding member of the Justice League of America, and
Flopcast episode 196! Kevin and Kornflake check out the new MarsCon Dementia Track fundraiser album, and you should too. (Warning: Contains goofy songs by The Sponge Awareness Foundation, and lobster songs by Kornflake!) Also: Astronaut Cady Coleman has a space flute, we have mixed feelings about a new ninth planet
Flopcast episode 195! Kevin and Kornflake are full of excuses this week, because somebody decided “excuses” should be the subject of this week’s Top 4 ½ List. (We won’t name any names, except for the name “Kornflake.”) Some of our favorite excuses come from Steve Martin, Marcia Brady, the Blues
Flopcast episode 194! After a three year absence, Kevin and Kornflake went creeping back to Arisia! (A science fiction convention on the Boston waterfront in mid-January… this is how we eliminate the weaker nerds from the pack.) Kornflake was there on Saturday, and enjoyed a game of Munchkin, a Princess
Flopcast episode 193! We have a quick show for you this week, because we’re sleepy, and Kornflake keeps spilling the coffee. In our “Chickens in the News” segment: It has been suggested that in order to sustain the human population, we should shrink everyone down to the size of chickens.
Recorded live at Titans Comics and Games in Smyrna, GA! Mike and Mike celebrate over 5 years of podcasting by ranting and raving about the long, strange trip it’s been.
