Comedy -  Final episode! Dr. Zarkov—previously turned into a human popsicle—finally thaws out, only mildly annoyed by the persistent pins and needles in his extremities. He and Dale promptly decide that making a quiet, dignified exit from Azura’s palace is absolutely out of the question. After all, where’s the fun in that?

Armed once more with their trusty meat-roasting electrodes (surely the greatest upgrade to any action-packed ar...

Comedy - Picture Dr. Zarkov and Dale, typically found bickering over cosmic equations or snappy comebacks, suddenly teaming up with an unexpected set of meat-roasting electrodes—an implement that’s half rotisserie, half lethal lightning rod—to stage a palace coup against Queen Azura.

Meanwhile, Saul (evidently thinking, “Why should Lord General Magician General Saul have all the fun?”) takes a stab at ending Flash once and for all. ...

Comedy -  A Cool Way To Win!   Lord General Magician General Saul, who makes a gallant attempt at assassinating Flash—only to be met with a cheery “No worries, old chap!” from our misguided hero, who graciously forgives him. With that inconvenience swiftly brushed aside, Flash demonstrates that his sense of friendly fire is alive and well by lobbing an “ice torpedo” at poor Dr. Zarkov, presumably under the impression that a friend ...

Comedy - Flash now leads a valiant—if misguided—charge against the Hawkmen. Fortunately, Dr. Zarkov has whipped up a snazzy ice barrier to keep the bewinged ones reasonably safe from interplanetary faceplants. Naturally, because no plan is too ill-conceived for our heroes, Zarkov and the Hawkmen end up clashing mightily with Flash and Queen Azura, most likely in a flurry of confusion, swirling capes, and the occasional flamboyant w...

Comedy - Having decided that rescuing Flash from Queen Azura’s mind-bending clutches sounds slightly more appealing than returning overdue library books, Dr. Zarkov rounds up the ever-chirpy Hawkmen for a daring infiltration of Azura’s lair.  Saul, Queen Azura's in house magician plots against them all.

Meanwhile, thanks to Azura’s mild obsession with enthralled Earthlings, Flash—still woozy from that pesky drugging—finds himse...

Comedy - In a heroic blur of questionable management skills, Flash Gordon somehow ends up crowned King of the Caves—an honor apparently bestowed by the local Platypus Men, who are not nearly as adorable as their name suggests. Naturally, they celebrate by launching a surprise attack, presumably under the impression that a regal coup is a lovely ice-breaker. Once he’s done dusting off a few webbed footprints, Flash jaunts off and, i...

Comedy - Proving that he can, on occasion, recall where he’s stashed his most ingenious inventions, Dr. Zarkov cobbles together some last-minute scientific marvel that prevents Sky City from plummeting dramatically into the lower atmosphere. The Hawkmen, who had previously thought of Earthlings as barely bipedal amateurs, are suddenly singing Zarkov’s praises in slightly off-key harmonic squawks.

Meanwhile, amid the chirpy gratitude...

Comedy - In a dramatic display of avian-inspired displeasure, the famously feather-brained Hawkmen of Sky City have clapped Flash Gordon and company into a prison that is, quite literally, floating on a cloud. Naturally, none of our heroes had the forethought to pack parachutes or anti-gravity underpants—though Dr. Zarkov swears he was working on a prototype (if only he could remember where he put it).

Now, trapped high above the sw...

Comedy - After somehow escaping Ming’s clutches, Flash and Princess Aura are captured by Prince Baron, who never get around to forming an alliance against Ming. Having returned from an “off-screen” escapade involving the Shark Men—who, it turns out, are deeply unimpressed by Flash’s attempts at small talk—our dashing hero and the ever-resourceful Princess Aura find themselves unceremoniously nabbed by Prince Barin. Meanwhile, Dr. H...

Comedy -  Armed with nothing but his heroic chin, a questionable understanding of astrophysics, and a spaceship that runs on whatever’s left in the glove compartment, Flash is whisked away to the nefarious planet of Mongo, where the diabolical Emperor Ming the Mildly Irritating has a cunning plan to do something probably quite bad. But first—paperwork!

Comedy - A holiday comedy podcast, Dr. John H. Watson recounts a delightfully absurd mystery that tests Sherlock Holmes' renowned deductive skills and Watson's digestive endurance.

Comedy - In this darkly comedic and utterly irreverent retelling of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge faces not only the ghosts of his past, present, and future but also the chaos of a world gone delightfully mad.

On Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former partner Jacob ...
