Brad, JUSTIN, and Kevin are to discuss "Wizard City", the fourth and final Adventure Time "Distant Lands" episode. They discuss how episode ordering may have sabotaged the episode, and if and how it fits Adventure Time at large.
Discussions of Adventure Time's next television project leads to overall discussions of television trends in general, which somehow leads to pro wrestling. Check out the last Floop for a little bit!

The third Distant Lands reunites the two main characters in the Dead Worlds, with cameos and easter eggs aplenty.

Episodes manquant?

For the second Distant Lands, Adventure Time gave us a glance into the past and future of Marceline and Princess Bubblegum's relationship. Brad, JUSTIN, and Kevin discuss the episode, their overall thoughts, and the surprise appearance of some other characters and what they think that could mean.
Additionally, the hosts discuss the first season of Bravest Warriors, another Pendleton Ward led cartoon that aired on Cartoon Network and later VRV. How does it compare to Adventure Time and will other seasons be discussed in future Floop episodes?
Finally, the hosts talk about some of the current animated television they have been watching in between Distant Land viewings. Check it out!

The HBO Max streaming service launched in May of 2020. It was announced that the service would revive Adventure Time as a new series called "Distant Lands", which as of now is set to contain four forty minute-ish stand-alone episodes. 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.
Flooping the Pig is going on hiatus until the second Distant Lands episode, "Obsidian", is released, and at this time has no release date. Thanks for your patronage, and we'll see you again for Episode 81!

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.
Before all of this, the non-canonical Minecraft episode is reviewed, and was a rare instance where all three hosts came into the podcast having never seen the episode before. A historic episode of Flooping the Pig, and the longest episode to date!

âDiamonds & Lemonsâ (Bonus Episode)

A mixed bag of episodes this week, in which the hosts discuss some elements that get better with the show as it goes, but also some of the thematic elements that have grown stale over time.

Adventure Time liked the mini-series so much, they did two back-to-back! Hot of 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. Discussed are dreams and the meaning behind them, some big stuff that foreshadows the end of the series, and Brad once again comparing Adventure Time to whatever he's currently watching online.

The end of the "Islands" mini-series (and Season 8) brings answers to two major questions: the origin of Susan Strong, and the discovery of Finn's mother.
In addition to these, JUSTIN and Brad disagree about Martin Mertens, a plot hits way too close to home in the times of COVID, and the episode ends with some discussion of the proliferation of same sex couples in media. Maybe the deepest Floop yet!

This week, Brad, JUSTIN, and Kevin dive into the first half of the "Islands" mini-series as Finn ventures off to find out where he came from.

Brad, JUSTIN, and Kevin delve into the "real" Season 7 finale, where we get a heavy tease of Susan Strong's origin and the potential of discovering where Finn comes from. 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?!)

Lady Rainicorn's history, the return of the Spiky Village and Box Kingdom, the Finn Sword gets smashed, Finn and Flame Princess making amends, and TAFKA Magic Man - this episode has it all! It was so nice the gang recorded it twice, or at least that is Kevin's excuse.
