Flopcast episode 653! Need a break from, you know, everything? We’re just hiding behind a giant stack of Dynamite magazines, and you’re welcome to join us. We’ve pulled out a Dynamite issue from 1980 with the hosts of That’s Incredible on the cover. (Cathy Lee Crosby looks lovely, while Fran Tarkenton and John Davidson are missing some teeth… our copy may have been defaced decades ago by some kid with a Bic pen.) Inside we can read about New Hampshire’s Old Man of the Mountain, Gary Coleman’s chihuahua, a Billy Joel album that never happened, a vampire maze, Dynamite Bummers, the Dynamite Duo… and an electronic chicken game. We don’t know why they kept making magazines after 1980, when it was done to perfection.

Coffee Houses and the Pumpkin Spice Phenomenon!
A coffee house is an establishment that sells coffee and usually other refreshments, and that commonly serves as an informal club for its regular customers. The first known use of the term coffeehouse was in 1612. More commonly a coffee house or coffee shop (cafe) serves various types of coffee, espresso, latte, americano and cappuccino.
Coffee houses are popular hangout spots in pop culture. The most famous example is Central Perk from the television show Friends. However, there are many more examples. Not only are these places great spots to get together on tv, they also work great in real life. Whether it’s the start of your road trip, a neutral place for a first date, or a pit stop along your journey, the coffee house is essential to every day life.
Real life coffee shops include Robin’s Donuts, Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, and Tim Horton’s. McDonald’s is also becoming known for their great coffee. It seems as though everyone is trying to get on the coffee train.
Who was Tim Horton, and what is Tim Horton’s?
Tim Hortons Inc., known colloquially as Tim’s, Timmies, or Timmy’s, is a Canadian multinational coffeehouse and restaurant chain with headquarters in Toronto; it serves coffee, donuts, sandwiches, breakfast egg muffins and other fast-food items. It is Canada’s largest quick-service restaurant chain, with 5,701 restaurants in 13 countries, as of September 2023.
1964 saw the company founded in Hamilton, Ontario by Canadian ice hockey player Tim Horton (1930–1974) and Jim Charade (1934–2009), after an initial venture in hamburger restaurants. In 1967, Horton partnered with investor Ron Joyce, who assumed control over operations after Horton died in 1974. Joyce expanded the chain into a multi-billion dollar franchise. Charade left the organization in 1966 and briefly returned in 1970 and 1993 through 1996.
On August 26, 2014, Burger King agreed to merge with Tim Hortons for US$11.4 billion. The two chains became subsidiaries of Toronto-based holding company Restaurant Brands International on December 15, 2014.
The Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) is a coffee drink mix of traditional fall spice flavors (cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove), steamed milk, espresso, and often sugar, with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice. The beverage is most commonly associated with Starbucks, which first offered the drink in the fall of 2003. And that is the coffee houses and the Pumpkin Spice phenomenon!

The Science of Music
This week we chat with author and science blogger Bethany Brookshire who shares her knowledge about how music works, its importance to community, and its impact on culture. We address questions like: How do our brains process music? How do vocal cords work? Why do we perceive dissonance differently? Why are some cultures thought of as more musical than others? How do tone deafness and rhythm deafness relate to each other? And the importance of music education. It turned out to be one of the most fascinating discussions we’ve ever had.
After that, we do our Picks of the Week and talk about new releases like the new Cure album, the Tears for Fears concert film, country artist Elizabeth Cook, the new documentary about composer John Williams, a concert by the Jayhawks, and more!

It’s about the time that the show covered The Big G himself, The King of the Monsters, the legendary Godzilla. As Godzilla turns 70 we look at decades of films and many many takes on the basic concept. We discuss our favorite Kaiju. We debate whether Godzilla works best as a defender of the Earth or a an implaccable force of terror. We also talk about our favorite Godzilla films and eras. We also get into the modern eras with concurrent Legendary Pictures and Toho versions of Godzilla and why we feel like they work or don’t.
Due to time constraints, this episode doesn’t have a five-minute controversy.
This week Beth, Shaun, Kori, and Kevin join the cast.

SOUNDTRACKS
Rolling Stone Magazine has released another of their infamous lists! This time they’re naming their picks for the 101 Best Soundtracks of All Time! And we’re joined by our amazing friend Julie Filipek to help us analyze their choices. We look at where they placed the titles on their list, talk about ones that should have been included, and of course ones that were included that we think have no business being there! And we bravely share a couple of controversial personal opinions along the way . . . Our discussions includes Top Gun, Purple Rain, Help, Magical Mystery Tour, and many others.
Everybody loves a good soundtrack! What are some of the ones that you love that either we or Rolling Stone didn’t cover? Please let us know by emailing us at [email protected] or by leaving a comment on our socials! And don’t forget to rate us on your favorite podcast app!

Richard Evans
Richard Evans‘ book Listening to the Music the Machines Make: Inventing Electronic Pop 1978-1983 has been out for nearly two years and has just been released in paperback here in the States! We took that opportunity to have Mr. Evans back for a second interview in which we talk about the success of the book, the journey of promoting it, Richard’s picks of the 10 essential artists / albums / tracks that one needs to hear to understand the electronic pop genre, and a very surprising chat about Aphantasia, plus a whole lot more! Along the way, we talk about groundbreaking bands like Duran Duran, Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, New Order and more!
