Flypaper

Joseph recently mentioned an old episode of "Tales of the Unexpected" entitled 'Flypaper'.
Here it is:

Covid-19 Mix-Tape

It's no secret that Mike and Joseph love their old-school music (just look at their long-running "Mix-Tape Challenge" feature for proof).. So, speaking of the challenge, here's a bonus mix-tape that Mike put together.

"Believe It or Not"

Episode 76

Joseph and Mike briefly discuss some old TV shows like "Tales of the Unexpected" and "The Invaders", share what life has been like recently under the Covid-19 pandemic and quarantines, and then get into the Monthly Mix Tape challenge. From there, it's no joke when Joseph reads a "too cool to be true" press release which sets the guys on a road filled with TV shows like "The Rockford Files", "Hardcastle and McCormick" and... "Silk Stalkings"?!? It's the penultimate episode before the big third year anniversary episode in two weeks!

"Things Can Only Better"

Episode #75

As the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic begin to fall into place, Mike and Joseph run down Joe's Mix Tape Challenge about robots and then it's off to the main topic of songs that were bigger hits than the movie that they were written for. Sure, "Xanadu" by Olivia Newton John springs to mind, but what else could there be? You might be surprised by some of the tunes that fit the bill. And of course the guys go off on their usual tangents just like you'd expect a couple of old men to do. So hit play, sit back and enjoy another trip back to the groovin' 70s and totally rad 80s!

"Convoy" by C.W. McCall (film version)

As noted in episode #74, the song "Convoy" was a redone to match the plot of the movie. Here's the "movie version".

Krofft Supershow TV Intro

We missed posting this following our Sid & Marty Krofft themed show.
Enjoy the memories!

"Celluloid Heroes"

Episode #74

As Covid-19 slowly infects the planet, Mike is suspiciously sick as he and Joseph run down Mike's Mix-Tape of songs that should be made into movies before hitting the main topic of songs that WERE made into movies. The majority of time is spent talking about "Convoy" since Mike was finally able to get Joseph to watch the Kris Kristofferson epic. While Joe isn't as fanatical about it as Mike is, he... well, you'll have to listen to see how he feels about it. So go ahead and scrub those hands for at least 20 seconds and then hit play!
