Flopcast 272: Happy Shark Week, Sally

We're gonna need a bigger podcast, because we're celebrating Shark Week with a ridiculous shark-themed Top 4 ½ List! We have shark cartoons, shark TV shows, shark songs, shark candy, and perhaps even a real live shark. We also look at episode 6 of High Feather, in which our goofy summer campers get lost in the woods, end up at a scary farm, and meet a bunch of cows and chickens (but alas, no sharks). So has the Flopcast finally jumped the shark? If next week's show is hosted by Ted McGinley, you'll have your answer.

Show Notes

Top 4 ½ Sharks

Shark Bites are a snack fondly remembered by Kornflake. They are apparently still out there, made by Betty Crocker

---

Sharktopus is not only a movie, it's a trilogy! Conan O'Brien had a cameo in the second installment, Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda. And, as Kornflake noted, it's the name of a song by Nuclear Bubble Wrap, which has a cute animated video.

Other shark-themed songs on the list are The Shark Fighter by The Aquabats and Shark Attack by Freezepop.

---

King Shark is a DC Comics villain who has made brief appearances on The Flash.

---

We're happy to once again plug Kate Shaw's Strange Animals Podcast, specifically the episode about hammerhead shark and megalodon!

---

Two cartoon sharks debuted in the wake of Jaws: Jabberjaw and Misterjaw

---

This handsome but aggressive fish is the red-tailed black shark.

The birth of a meme...

Don't forget about High Feather! We certainly didn't.
