Flopcast 192: Not a Good Year for Joe Rockhead

Flopcast episode 192! It’s time for a Flopcast-style look back at those we lost in 2015. The Mayor of Chickentown joins Kevin and Kornflake as we recall some of our favorite recently-departed actors, musicians, writers, artists… and maybe even the guy who invented plastic pink flamingos. Including: Stars from The

‘Jungle Tales of Tarzan’ Review by Ron Fortier

JUNGLE TALES OF TARZAN By Edgar Rice Burroughs (A graphic novel) Editor Patrick Thorpe Sequential Pulps & Dark Horse Books Since we first heard of this project, we were excited to see it come to fruition. The idea was simple enough, take Burrough’s own book, which relates the adventures of

Earth Station Who 121 - Series 9 Wrap Up

Earth Station Who Episode 121 – Series 9 Wrap Up

From the opening guitar riffs to the closing cloister bells of the TARDIS, Series 9 was a symphonic mixture of all too familiar refrains along with some funky new grooves. Mike, Mike, Mary, Jen, and Alan Siler sing songs of praise and blame as they tour Skaro to Gallifrey and

Flopcast 189: Our Super Soaking Wet Paint Holiday Spectacular

Flopcast episode 189! Happy Holidays from The Flopcast, where we hide our toys inside rubber chickens, so the Burgermeister won’t find them.

Flopcast 188: Caught in a Vortex

Flopcast episode 188! This week we’re joined by a special surprise guest (it was certainly a surprise to Kornflake): Ed, of The Sponge Awareness Foundation!

Flopcast 187: Hiding Out in Chickentown

Flopcast episode 187! Kevin and Kornflake’s ill-conceived trip back through the 80s brings us to 1987! It was the year Debbie Gibson taught us to shake our love — a practice which is illegal in most states these days. Kornflake reminds us of the 1987 debut of the San Francisco-based

Flopcast 186: Hey Hey We’re the Howler Monkeys

Flopcast episode 186 — this week our excruciating ten-part look at the 80s brings us to 1986! ‘Twas the year we danced on the ceiling, had fun tonight, and were rocked by Amadeus (which explains the headache we’ve had for the last thirty years). Kornflake tells us about the 1986
