Flopcast episode 536! We’re getting ready for DragonCon, the biggest craziest nerdfest of the year! It’s so big that it’s divided into dozens of separate programming tracks, and we’re going through the whole track list. Including: Kevin’s favorites (American Sci-Fi Classics! American Sci-Fi and Fantasy Media!), Kornflake’s favorites (Brit Track! Kids Track!), and everyone’s favorites (PUPPETRY!). We also take a quick peek at the guest list, which just happens to include the saviors of the universe, Flash Gordon’s Sam J. Jones and Melody Anderson! Also: Kornflake has crab whiskey, Kevin has stolen pizza, and Steve Carell has space chickens. More DragonCon talk is coming soon. Get ready, nerds.

We’re back from our technical difficulties!

Let’s dive in to the mess brewing over at Warner Brothers and the kerfuffle they’ve created with their DC properties and HBO Max in general.

In the second half of the show, we discuss the plethora of damn near perfect genre offerings as of late such as Prey on Hulu, The Sandman on Netflix and more coming up on the near horizon.

First, Mike, Mike, Ashley, and Rob Levy join Brad Pitt and a number of crazy characters on a ride that goes off the rails. Then, more craziness follows when Nathan Laws joins us to discuss the third season of the most dysfunctional super hero family around. All this, along with Angela’s A Geek Girl’s Take, Michelle’s Iconic Rock Moment, and Shout Outs!

Should we stop being polite? Is the act of being polite something that binds society together and allows civilization to function? Those are heady questions we do not have answers to in a 20 minute podcast. However, we will be conducting an exciting discussion into the nature of politeness.

You may get more done with a little gratitude and polite conversation, but this behavior can bring you down. It can force you into a toxic relationship detrimental to your emotional and physical well-being. Polite, thoughtful reactions and responses to everyday interactions can mean the difference between acceptance and frustration from the other party. So, as you can see, being polite has its ups and its downs.

So, how do we stop being polite? Useless chatter can eat up our day and reduce our productivity. It can also just be really boring. We have all had conversations we wished to exit. Try this next time you find yourself trapped: After a few minutes, excuse yourself by saying something like, “I’m sorry. I’d really like to give you my full attention but I have to finish up before the end of the day.” Offer an apologetic smile as you say it, or use a smiley emoticon if you’re dashing off a quick email or text message.

Flopcast episode 535! It’s a super-short super-silly summer show! Kevin is exhausted and weirdly terrified of movie trailers; Kornflake is baking and flopping on a hammock; it’s Book Lovers Day, and our friends are writing too many really good books; we’re preparing for DragonCon with School House Rock and Electra Woman face masks; and our Ranking the ’80s random song game finally lands on a song that we like. So get on the yacht and let’s go.
