Flooping the Pig

We take a look at the Fionna and Cake season 2 finale, wonder aloud what's next for this show, give our hopes for the Adventure Times spinoffs to come, and take a look at Adult Swim's The Elephant. Episodes Covered: “The Worm and His Orchard” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 19), “The Bear and the Rose” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 20)Hosted by Kevin Ford, Brad Garoon, and Justin Houston

Does Fionna & Cake have a character consistency problem? How about a character agency problem? Is Fionna all over the place, or are her actions the result of a season's worth of build up? All that and more as we get close the the Fionna & Cake season 2 finale. Episodes Covered: “The Wolves Who Wandered” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 17), “The Insect That Sang” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 18)

Episodes Covered: “The Butterfly and the River” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 15), “The Bird in the Clock” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 16)

Fionna & Cake continues through its second season, but is it introducing too many threads? And are these hyper-serialized episodes satisfying? They're definitely funny. And why was that dog doing that thing?Episodes Covered: “The Lion of Embers” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 13), “The Cat Who Tipped the Box” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 14)

Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake is back for season 2, and so are Kevin Ford, Brad Garoon, and Justin Houston!

Episodes Covered: “The Hare & the Sprout” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 11), “The Crocodile Who Bit a Log” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 12)

Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake has come to an end, and there's a somber tone over this episode because of it. Kevin Ford, Brad Garoon, and Justin Houston talk about what worked in the final two episodes of the miniseries (or perhaps, season of television?), what they're hoping for if Adventure Time continues in some form, and the great work of the voice cast over the past 10 episodes. Flooping the Pig is taking a little break after this, but look out for more in the very near future. Episodes Covered: “Casper & Nova” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 9), “Cheers” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 10)

We are rapidly approaching the end of the Fionna & Cake miniseries, though we're holding out hope it gets renewed for a second season as Kevin Ford, Brad Garoon, and Justin Houston just are not ready to say goodbye. They discuss who is controlling the multiverse, their predictions for the end of the season, and who would be the worse Adventure Time character to greet you in the afterlife. Episodes Covered: “The Star” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 7), “Jerry” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 8)

We're over the halfway mark for this season (miniseries?) of Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake, and there is much to discuss. Kevin Ford, Brad Garoon, and Justin Houston come together to talk about a pair of episodes that see the Adventure Time gang do a lot of old-fashioned adventuring. We get a return to Farmworld, a bizarro version of Ooo where Candy and Ice are swapped, and an ode to the Muppet Babies. Plus, are we dealing with a universe loop, where someone in every universe is creating the next universe? It's turtles all the way down on this episode of Flooping the Pig. Episodes Covered: “Destiny” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 5), “The Winter King” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 6)

DRAMA BOMB! Or rather, exposition bomb? Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake is back with two more episodes and a whole lot of plot. Brad Garoon, Kevin Ford, and Justin Houston discuss the origins of the corporeal Fionna & Cake (and their friends and neighbors), the new big bad, where the show goes from here, and the continued abuse heaped on Simon Petrikov. Episodes Covered: “Cake the Cat” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 3), “Prismo the Wishmaster” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 4)

Adventure Time is back, in Fionna & Cake form! Brad Garoon, Kevin Ford, and Justin Houston also return from a two-year hiatus to talk about the first two episodes of Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake. They dive into the surprising direct sequel-nature of the show, the way that the tone has grown up with the audience, and trade theories about the show's trajectory. They also try to decipher every single multiverse character analogue. What fun! It's good to be back. Episodes Covered: “Fionna Campbell” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 1), “Simon Petrikov” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 2)

Original Air Date: September 23, 2021 Brad, Justin, and Kevin are to discuss "Wizard City", the fourth and final Adventure Time "Distant Lands" episode.

The first of those four episodes, titled "BMO", dropped in June 2020, which Brad, JUSTIN, and Kevin review in today's episode. They discuss the episode itself, including their likes and dislikes, their thoughts on doing a prequel, and the possibilities of what the events in this episode could have on the remaining Distant Lands episodes. They also talk about how it does or doesn't correlate to the Cartoon Network show. The gang then discusses Pendleton Ward's Netflix animated series "The Midnight Gospel." The hosts have some conflicting thoughts on this very bizarre show, easily the most adult and difficult piece to be featured on FTP. Episodes Covered: “BMO” (Distant Lands Episode 1), Midnight Gospel Season 1

Original Air Date: October 8, 2020 It's taken years, and almost 80 podcasts, but it is finally time for Brad, Justin, and Kevin to discuss the series finale of Adventure Time. Did the writers stick the landing? What did they think of the stories that were and were not wrapped up? JUSTIN has a Golb theory to maybe explain an unexplained story. They also discuss what seemed like a bold choice at the time for two characters. To wrap up, the hosts reveal where Adventure Time stands amongst their favorite shows as well as their all-time favorite episode.

Hot off the heels of "Islands" we head right into "Elements", with Brad, JUSTIN, and Kevin covering the first four episodes on the mini-series, plus the Season 9 premiere "Orb" which is a bridge of sorts between the two.

From there, Finn is forced to confront himself (literally), resulting in the hosts discussing the concept of Last Thursdayism, "The Good Place", and "Future Man" to explain the concept of two Finns. Finally, the second Finn comes to terms with being an individual, as the real Finn fails to take over for Doctor Princess (who is not an actual PhD recipient?!)
