Flooping the Pig – Episode 73: “Carroll”

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.

Flooping the Pig – Episode 72: “Minerva”

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!
