Flopcast 686: Luke Ski's 1986 and Stuff Podcast
Returning to the Flopcast after a full decade away, it's our old pal (and comedy musician, podcaster, animator, storyboard artist, and voice actor) the great Luke Ski! Luke came up with the subject for this week's Top 4 ½ List, and it's a long one: The Top 4 ½ Songs Made For A Movie Where The Title Of The Song Is Also The Title Of The Movie And The Lyrics Of The Chorus Of The Song! Got that? And since this is our 1986 episode, all of Kevin's movies and songs are from 1986. Luke's choices are also mostly from the mid-80s, which seemed to be the peak of this very important cinematic trend that no one else has ever noticed. It's a wild list which just might involve aliens, nerds, and a certain duck. Enjoy! And watch for episode 5 of the new Luke Ski's Animation & Stuff Podcast, also out this week! Kevin is Luke's guest over there, and we do another Top 4 ½ List that's even weirder than this one.
