What happens when you mix an energy drink... and beer? On this episode of The Big Flop, DJ EFN (Drink Champs) and Kenice Mobley (Follow Up Question) join Misha to relive the boom and the bust of the original Four Loko, aka the blackout-in-a-can. Created in a fraternity basement, Four Loko supposedly provided the equivalent of 4 glasses of wine and a couple of Red Bulls - a potent recipe which eventually was investigated by the FDA, but not before inspiring more than a few terrible decisions! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the story of how this unhinged beverage's original recipe became one fizzy, carbonated flop.

Spider-Man Hits All the Wrong Notes with Guy Branum & Jessica McKenna | 3

Marvel’s attempt at bringing Spider-Man to Broadway didn’t go as planned. With high-flying action and music by U2, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, was one of the most-hyped Broadway musicals of all-time... but by the time the final curtain closed, bones would be broken, lawsuits would be filed, friendships unraveled, careers destroyed, and millions of onlookers would be left wondering: “what the hell did I just watch?” On this theatrical episode of The Big Flop, comedians Guy Branum (Talk Show, the Game Show) and Jessica McKenna (Off Book) join Misha to hear the tangled tale of the Spider-Man musical, and the careers it took down in its web.
