Weekend at Bernie's 30.03.2025

Send us Fan Mail Lucy is traumatized when Corbett has her watch a comedy classic, Weekend at Bernie's, though it may not be as traumatizing as finding out there was a sequel.  Just the same, it is a fun romp talking about having fun with a corpse and finding out all those crazy connections back to it.  

Sacheen Littlefeather and the 1973 Oscars 15.03.2025

Good Times 28.02.2025

The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour 14.02.2025

Y2K 29.12.2024

Send us Fan Mail As we all know the world ended 25 years ago, which is why we are going to talk about it now.  That's right, Y2K panic was all over the headlines.  When the clock struck midnight, planes would fall out of the sky, everyone would be forced to move to Canada, money would have no meaning, and dogs and cats would be living together... MASS HISTERIA!!  Bit of a spoiler, the world j...

Cabbage Patch Kids 15.12.2024

Send us Fan Mail The Eighties were dark times, filled with bright neon colors and roving bands of people in jeeps, but there was a moment during the holidays when peoples hearts are filled with love.  So much love that they must show it by hurting other people in order to get the doll they so rightly deserve.  This episode we talk about the dolls that nearly destroyed Christmas in 1983.  Merry Chr...

Satanic Panic 30.11.2024

Going to the Movies 15.11.2024

(Yeah, we went there.)

Disco 28.09.2024

Send us Fan Mail Get up and get down!   Corbett and Lucy are talking about Disco, the music, the era, and the style.  We learn that it is just too hard to stop dancing and Disco Duck is an acquired taste.  So sit back and listen in for a generational discussion about one of the most despised music genres.

Tiananmen Square 1989 15.09.2024
