Flopcast episode 214! Kevin and Kornflake are talking music again this week, following a concert by 80s legends Cyndi Lauper and Boy George. It’s been over thirty years since Cyndi conquered the world of pop music, with a little help from The Hooters, The Goonies, and Rowdy Roddy Piper. These

The next chapter in the mutant saga is in theaters and the Four Horsemen of Mike, Mike, Ashley Pauls, and Alex Autrey decree judgement. Plus, Dakoma Sanchez dances around the Geek Seat, Khan Reports of MomoCon and TimeGate, and Rants & Raves about DC Comics’ Rebirth. All this, along with
Flopcast episode 212! Kids, this week we’re talking about snakes. (Blame our tricky pal Matt, who suggested another weird Top 4 ½ List…) Whether you’re totally creeped out by snakes (a touch of ophidiophobia, perhaps), or you like them creeping all over you (Jake “The Snake” Roberts could help with
Flopcast episode 211! As summertime approaches here in Chickentown, Kevin and Kornflake are back on the iced coffee, featuring our beloved coffee cubes!

On this episode, the ESO crew takes a look at that other fantastical British-American series that airs on a pay cable channel.

Flopcast episode 207! Can Kornflake see all the costumes, collectibles, and celebrity guests at Super Megafest in just ninety minutes, and not be late for karaoke? Let’s find out.

Flopcast episode 206! We received a long list of suggestions for this week’s Top 4 ½ List… and we picked the very dumbest one. So please enjoy our list of guys named Bill. (Yes, despite “Bill” being such an exotic name, we were able to think of a few.) Our
Flopcast episode 205! Kornflake’s 2016 convention tour continues, and this week she shares her adventures at Anime Boston!
