Flooping the Pig is the deep dive into Adventure Time that never knew you always wanted. Hosted by Brad Garoon, Kevin Ford, and Justin Houston, Flooping the Pig began as PWPonderings’ first foray into the world of animated television examination, and then moved to the Reel World to complete its run of released Adventure Time content. Finally, the podcast breaks out on its own to cover the continuing legacy of Adventure Time, including Distant Lands and Fionna & Cake.

Episode 88: Nova
Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake has come to an end, and there's a somber tone over this episode because of it. Kevin Ford, Brad Garoon, and Justin Houston talk about what worked in the final two episodes of the miniseries (or perhaps, season of television?), what they're hoping for if Adventure Time continues in some form, and the great work of the voice cast over the past 10 episodes. Flooping the Pig is taking a little break after this, but look out for more in the very near future.
Episodes Covered: “Casper & Nova” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 9),
“Cheers” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 10) -
Episode 87: Orbo
We are rapidly approaching the end of the Fionna & Cake miniseries, though we're holding out hope it gets renewed for a second season as Kevin Ford, Brad Garoon, and Justin Houston just are not ready to say goodbye. They discuss who is controlling the multiverse, their predictions for the end of the season, and who would be the worse Adventure Time character to greet you in the afterlife.
Episodes Covered: “The Star” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 7),
“Jerry” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 8) -
Episode 86: Jay
We're over the halfway mark for this season (miniseries?) of Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake, and there is much to discuss. Kevin Ford, Brad Garoon, and Justin Houston come together to talk about a pair of episodes that see the Adventure Time gang do a lot of old-fashioned adventuring. We get a return to Farmworld, a bizarro version of Ooo where Candy and Ice are swapped, and an ode to the Muppet Babies. Plus, are we dealing with a universe loop, where someone in every universe is creating the next universe? It's turtles all the way down on this episode of Flooping the Pig.
Episodes Covered: “Destiny” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 5),
“The Winter King” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 6) -
Episode 85: Scarab
DRAMA BOMB! Or rather, exposition bomb? Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake is back with two more episodes and a whole lot of plot. Brad Garoon, Kevin Ford, and Justin Houston discuss the origins of the corporeal Fionna & Cake (and their friends and neighbors), the new big bad, where the show goes from here, and the continued abuse heaped on Simon Petrikov.
Episodes Covered: “Cake the Cat” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 3),
“Prismo the Wishmaster” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 4) -
Episode 84: Ellis
Adventure Time is back, in Fionna & Cake form! Brad Garoon, Kevin Ford, and Justin Houston also return from a two-year hiatus to talk about the first two episodes of Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake. They dive into the surprising direct sequel-nature of the show, the way that the tone has grown up with the audience, and trade theories about the show's trajectory. They also try to decipher every single multiverse character analogue. What fun! It's good to be back.
Episodes Covered: “Fionna Campbell” (Fionna & Cake, Episode 1),

Original Air Date: September 23, 2021
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.
