Surprise Favorites

You know those songs, or maybe an album or an artist, that totally catch you by surprise? Either it’s an album that you discovered in a surprising way, or an artist you don’t care for but that one song stood out for you, or maybe it’s someone that you normally wouldn’t like but something made you change your mind about them. That’s what we’re talking about this week! We cover artists like NWA, Raphael Saadiq, Neil Diamond, a-ha, Wa Wa Nee (I’ll bet you never heard of them!), Elvis Costello, Springsteen, Paula Abdul, John Legend, Al Jarreau, and many more with some really fun stories of musical discoveries.

Shawn and Paul finally meet in real life!

Shawn is from Canada. Paul is from England. They have been podcasting together for over 9 years. They have spoken over Skype and Zoom. However, it was not until this week that the two friends finally met in person. This is the episode where they discuss their history, their visit, and a huge pile of other topics!

Paul, his wife Linda, and their two boys have come to Canada to visit Paul’s aunt. It was 1994 the last time Paul and Linda made the trip. Since the two friends started podcasting they have vowed to one day meet in person. The trip to Canada was Paul’s perfect opportunity to visit Shawn. So, after a week in Toronto, the boys flew home to England and Paul and Linda flew up to Sault Ste. Marie.

Everything is bigger in Canada. The cars are larger. Road lanes are wider. Cheese is in all the foods. There is more land and everything is more spread out. On Paul and Linda’s bucket list was trying a genuine Canadian poutine, which they did. They also enjoyed the beaver tail pastry, Dairy Queen blizzards and Tim Horton’s coffee. Trying to visit the United States also became quite the ordeal.

Shawn and Paul finally meet in real life! However, they have quite the podcasting history. Paul was Shawn’s UK Correspondant on the old Rusted Robot podcast. They then created and co-hosted the Sci-Fi Waffle podcast for 40 episodes. Dan later joined them and they created the Cosmic Pizza podcast and the Epsilon Three podcast.

This week’s promo: Earth Station Trek!

Shazam was a surprise release from DC in 2019. The movie saw an effort to move away from the dark and gritty storytelling that had characterized DC movies since the late 80’s and move it back towards a more amusing bent. The movie was not as expensive as the more recent DC films so even it’s somewhat modest performance at the box office earmarked it as a success. In this movie we discuss its sequel, Shazam: Fury of the Gods. In this episode we talk about the characters and performances in the movie. We also discuss the plot and the placement of cameos in the film. We also debate whether the announcement of Gunn’s DCU tanked the ticket sales for the film and whether we think this film will be the last with the Shazam family.

This week’s five-minute controversy asks if Mark Guggenheim as co-creator of the Arrowverse deserved a meeting with James Gunn and/or Peter Safran.

This week Ryan, Nate, and James join the cast.

Flopcast episode 581! Continuing our ten week celebration of the 1980s, we have some silly artifacts to examine from 1981. First Kornflake brings us a couple of Dr Pepper commercials featuring David Naughton (from Makin’ It), Mickey Rooney (from One of the Boys), and the classic two-person horse costume (from our dreams). Kevin’s 1981 pick is a Superman comic book produced by Radio Shack to introduce the children to the wonders of the TRS-80 computer. (We’re convinced. Here at Chickentown Studios, we’re ditching our Commodore VIC-20 and upgrading to a TRS-80.) Also: A surprise concert from Boston 90s alt-rock heroes Kay Hanley and Juliana Hatfield; Eclectic Lee lists a few more TV and movie maids, concluding five weeks of nonstop Flopcast maid and butler action; Kevin is on Earth Station DCU talking about Shazam; and Happy Birthday to Men at Work’s Colin Hay! Time to blow out all the candles on your vegemite sandwich.
