Street Hawk, TV Series 1985 Nov 28, 2018

Show notes

First there was Knight Rider, then there was Airwolf, but then came STREET HAWK! Airing for 13 episodes on ABC in 1985, the series showed us what it would be like to ride a motorcycle at 300 mph and stop on a dime. Melinda and Aaron give you the backstory of the show's production, and walk you through the extra-long Pilot episode, so even if you've never see it, you can say you have experienced: Street Hawk!

Halloween Specials Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

While there are a ton of well-known and much loved Christmas specials, it's Halloween that really kicks off the season. However, most people could probably only name one, maybe two Halloween specials. In this episode, we watched TEN Halloween specials spanning from 1966 to 1993. We'll let you know which ones are hidden gems and which ones are best forgotten.

Trick or Treat, 1986 Film Oct 07, 2018

Show notes

If you were a metalhead in the 80s then this movie will more than likely bring back great memories for you, as it does for Melinda and Brian! We give our thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of the movie and learn some details about the production and the killer soundtrack by Fastway. Special Guest: Brian LeTendre

Lord of the Rings- Books, Animation, and Films Sep 18, 2018

Show notes

Melinda and Aaron return after their break for DragonCon to discuss one of their mutually favorite properties: The Lord of the Rings. We're talking Rankin-Bass, Ralph Bakshi, Peter Jackson, and video games - so settle in with some lembas bread and a nice bottle of the Old Winyard with us!

The KLF: Music, Chaos, and Discordianism Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

The KLF are known for their popular dance songs "3 AM Eternal," "What Time is Love," and "Justified and Ancient." What you may NOT know is that they gave a big middle finger to the British music industry with an outrageous display at the 1992 Brit awards, deleted their entire music catalog, and burned a million quid. Why, you ask? The answer will take us deep into discordian thought - you may never see the world quite the same way again.

Sell Out! (When Metal goes Mainstream) Jul 06, 2018

Show notes

This week we are joined by Thrash It Out podcast host, Brian LeTendre, to talk metal - and in particular to talk about how long-time metal fans feel when their favorite band takes their music in a new direction. Brian discusses the Hysteria album by Def Leppard and the Promised Land album by Queensrÿche. Melinda discusses the infamous "Black Album" by Metallica. Aaron listens to the woe with patience. If you've ever been through a bad band breakup when that sound you love was lost forever, you will definitely appreciate this discussion.

Moonlighting... the Pilot, and more Jun 24, 2018

Show notes

Moonlighting, the 1985 ABC show that spawned the career of Bruce Willis and featured Cybill Shepherd, was unlike most other shows in the 80s. With its regular nods to classic cinema and constantly breaking the 4th wall, it made the romantic-comedy detective show format truly innovative. Melinda and Aaron discuss the pilot episode, as well as if there is truly such a thing as the "Moonlighting Effect."
