Flopcast 500: What Are We Still Doing Here?

Flopcast episode 500! To celebrate (just barely) our 500th episode, we decided to shove every single Flopcast segment into one extra-goofy show! Including: Chickens in the News (with more giant chicken topiary drama), our dumbest Top 4 ½ List ever, National Whatever Day with one of the kids from Fame, a

Flopcast 499: NBC Saturday Morning 1971 – Problematic Pirates

Flopcast episode 499! Our examination of Saturday morning TV from fifty years ago continues with the NBC schedule, and it’s one of the weirdest lineups we’ve found so far. Among familiar old favorites like Woody Woodpecker, Pink Panther, and Deputy Dawg, we encounter psychedelic Krofft reruns, a two-headed llama, a comeback from Mr. Wizard,

Flopcast 498: Brat Pack FlopFight Part 2 – St. Elmo’s Hand Turkeys

We started our ridiculous Brat Pack tournament last week, and now it’s time to settle things once and for all, like Swayze in Road House. A couple more Breakfast Club members enter the competition this time, along with the stars of 80s classics like Pretty in Pink, The Outsiders, Dirty Dancing, Red Dawn, and more. And because

Flopcast 497: Brat Pack FlopFight Part 1 – Bright Lights, Naked Klingons

Flopcast episode 497! Back in the 80s, whether you were hanging around St. Elmo’s Bar or stuck in Saturday detention with the Breakfast Club, you could not avoid the Brat Pack. Those crazy kids were running wild in Hollywood, breaking hearts, listening to Simple Minds, and starring in every single

Flopcast 496: CBS Saturday Morning 1971 – Other Cave Teens

We’re way overdue for another look at an old Saturday morning TV schedule, so let’s see what the kids watched on CBS half a century ago while chomping on their Count Chocula. The CBS 1971 Saturday morning lineup included classics like Bugs Bunny (of course), Scooby Doo (the original version), and The Flintstones (reformatted to feature

Flopcast 495: Life is an Auxiliary Route

Flopcast episode 495! It’s one of our dumbest ideas ever: This is episode 495, so we’re discussing Interstate 495, the Massachusetts highway we’ve spent our whole lives driving up and down like idiots. 495 starts near Rhode Island (look out!) and ends near New Hampshire (oh no!). In between are

But First, Let’s Talk Nerdy Episode 62: It’s Still Spooky Season! Part 3!

But First, Let’s Talk Nerdy Episode 62! As spooky season continues, Martha explains how horror movies have reflected our collective fears throughout the decades, and Brittany looks at the 1998 movie Disturbing Behavior. But First, Let’s Talk Nerdy on Instagram! Please rate and review But First, Let’s Talk Nerdy on

Flopcast 494: All My Hens Are Fed

Flopcast episode 494! It’s Halloween, but why not ignore the creepy neighbor kids and just enjoy our silly little show? (That sack of Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins you’ve been eyeballing all week? ALL YOURS.) Including: A festive round of “What’s in the Bag,” compliments of our friend Blasted Bill; Halloween

Flopcast 493 The Facts of Life

Flopcast 493: The Backs of Life 6 – Graduation

Flopcast episode 493! We just can’t stop reviewing “backdoor pilot” episodes of The Facts of Life, so here we go again. This time Blair and Jo are graduating from Eastland, and perhaps this could have led to a spinoff series set at nearby Langley College. It didn’t, of course, but it’s

Cigar Nerds Podcast: What If?

Cigar Nerds Podcast: What If? This week we ponder the age old question What if. What if we didn’t smoke cigars or what if we made an interesting podcast or maybe we’ll just talk about Marvel’s What If? on Disney +. In science we discuss Shatner in space, dry scooping,

Flopcast 492: Angry Frankenberry Fan Mail

Flopcast episode 492! Just a silly mix of subjects this week, including: The new Monster Mash cereal (we might not eat it, but we still love it), Kornflake’s concert report on Lindsey Stirling (she plays the violin while hanging upside down blindfolded; what more do you want?), Daryl Hall’s birthday,
