Paddle to the Sea

Here's one of the old movies that Mike and Joseph talked about from their classroom days of the 70s.

"Where Have All the Good Times Gone?"

Episode #71

It's a retro pop-culture potpourri as Mike and Joseph talk about everything from "Paddle to the Sea" to "The Night Stalker", afternoon kid's TV hosts to being latch-key kids, and a whole host of other topics. Learn why Mike wasn't allowed to watch "Kung-Fu" or "Speed Racer" and why Joseph joined AV club. All this and the 'Monthly Mix-Tape Challenge' make this one episode you don't want to miss!

"Glory Days"

Episode #70

We hope you haven't put the party hats, confetti poppers or champagne away yet - Mike and Joseph are here to ring in the new decade with a look back at 1979 and 1989 and some of the memorable things and events from those decade-closing years. From Alien to The Little Mermaid, Happy Days to Moonlighting, and a potpourri of things in-between (including the reveal of which one owned a copy of the Village People's first album), you're gonna want to fire up the Sony Walkman for this one. And of course there's the Mix-Tape Challenge! You'll never believe how Mike managed to convince Joseph that Don't Fear the Reaper was an "inspirational" song! Nah, we're kidding. Or are we?

Episode #69

It's Christmas and Joseph and Mike are putting on a show! But first they run down some of their favorite Christmas movies and songs. Then it's time for Joe to answer the Monthly Mix-Tape Challenge before the lights go down and the curtain comes up as the Uphill Both Ways Players present their version of "A Christmas Carol". Of course there are the usual diversions like when Mike explains why Die Hard is a Christmas movie and It's a Wonderful Life isn't, when Joe talks about the weather in South Korea, and a very brief word or two about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. There's no coal in this stocking!

Christmas lights, whodunnits, mix tapes, comedians, and movies about wrestling. What's the main topic? It's hard to tell with this one, folks. We're gonna leave it up to YOU to figure it out!
