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! (That’s Kevin’s old comedy band, which you probably knew already, because we’re super-famous.) And we’re talking about 1988, which was the year Ed put together
Phantom Troublemaker and the ESO Network’s Mike Gordon share their thoughts about one of the greatest adventure film franchises of all time!
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
Phantom Troublemaker talks Chad J. Shonk (writer of Dakota Sky and the novel Proxy) and Beth V. about the history of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and the Kickstarter campaign that is currently underway to revive the much-beloved series. Mystery Science Theater 3000 is one of those lightning in a bottle type ideas that hit at just the right time and
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
Phantom Troublemaker and Needless Things’ Head of Research Ryan Schweck talk about the build-up to Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens!
Flopcast episode 185! We’re halfway through our court-ordered ten-episode celebration of the 80s, which means it’s time to talk about 1985. Kornflake has a song by Passion Pit (not from 1985, but still thematically appropriate… well played, Kornflake). Meanwhile Kevin selects the classic Pat Benatar-meets-Supergirl film The Legend of Billie
This week our nerds move from discussing fictional ghost and take a look at real ghost. We sit down with Paranormal Georgia Investigation to discuss all things paranormal. We review the Battleground Cigars Lincoln and the Heavy Seas Greater Pumpkin. In science we discuss face transplants, getting hit in virtual
Phantom Troublemaker talks to Bryan Katzel, one of the masterminds behind retro toy makers Warpo Toys!
Flopcast episode 184! For our 1984-themed episode, Kevin and Kornflake each have a weird TV memory to share. Kornflake recalls DTV, which was Disney Channel’s take on MTV-style music videos. (But where was Billy Ocean? A certain cartoon rodent owes us an apology.) Meanwhile Kevin is still obsessed with The
Flopcast episode 183! This week we’re creeping back to 1983, the year Top 40 radio was totally conquered by goofy new wave. We were blinded with science, rocked down to Electric Avenue, safety danced if we wanted to, and watched 99 red balloons go by. In fact, Kevin’s pick for
Phantom Troublemaker talks to mysterious synth artist and musician VHS Glitch about the revival and nostalgic value of synthesizer-based music, digital marketing, the modern cult of personality surrounding music, and much more!
