Flopcast 660: Memorial Show Part 1 - Mojo Is Everywhere

In Part 1 of our two-part memorial show, we look back on people from pop culture (and beyond) who died in the first half of 2024. It's a long list, so it's a long show. Including: People from movies (Cindy Morgan, Carl Weathers, Louis Gossett Jr., Dabney Coleman, Donald Sutherland), comedy (Richard Lewis, Joe Flaherty, Martin Mull), television (Joyce Randolph, Kevin Brophy, David Soul), music (Melanie, Mojo Nixon, Eric Carmen), comic books (José Delbo, Ramona Fradon, Trina Robbins), and many more. (The inventor of Pop-Tarts? But of course.) Next week: Memorial Show Part 2. Meanwhile this week, we also reveal our New Year's Resolution, which you will never guess.

Show Notes

Cindy Morgan's passing was reported late; here we pay tribute to her two most iconic roles.

---

Land of the Lost star Spencer Milligan (Rick Marshall) passed away this year, as did his replacement, Ron Harper (Uncle Jack Marshall).

---

An eccentric fan is the connection between Lucan star Kevin Brophy and Peter Barton, Louis Gossett Jr's costar in The Powers of Matthew Star.

---

Felicity couldn't dredge up this title during the recording, but it's worth checking out Donald Sutherland's early comedic role alongside Gene Wilder in Start the Revolution Without Me.

---

Our most unusual inclusion is a tie between Pigcasso, the rescued pig turned painter, and singer Clarence "Frogman" Henry.
