THE YEAR IN OUTTAKES (PART TWO)
December 31, 2020 08:33 - 56.1 MBEpisode Notes Its New Years Eve so why not tell 2020 to go Eff itself. Then, once you're done cursing out the arbitrary designation of our temporal placement, why not come back here for a(nother) bonus episode of oops, errors and unconnected conversations. Its sort of left-over audio but we'll be back on Thursday January 14th for our all new and very first episode of 2021. Hope we didn't just curse anything. For full show notes visit www.nahpods.com.

#128 – CHRISTMAS EPISODES OF THE 80S & 90S: BAYWATCH EDITION
December 24, 2020 08:56 - 71.8 MBEpisode Notes It's Christmas Eve which means waxing up the surf board, slipping on the swim trunks and running in slow-motion across some hot Hollywood beachfront. Or maybe a different tradition. Look, it's been a really off year so, if you are unsure how to celebrate, why not join Tim and guest Jason Dugre as they gather round the Baywatch two-parter "Silent Night, Baywatch Night." It's got David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson and ... elves. Yup. Santa's elves are... ahm... are in this ...
THE YEAR IN OUTTAKES PART ONE
November 26, 2020 08:38 - 58.8 MBBob and Tim are getting a jump on what should actually be an end of the year exercise. With one new episode still planned for 2020, they are taking today to look back at some previously unstreamed interactions from the past 12 months. Included within are such gems as an injured pinky toe, humans in a Muppet movie, Johnny Nemonic spoilers and a somewhat aroused Huey Lewis. Its a bonus episode to tide you over until ... well.... the Christmas one ... and probably another of these. For ful...
#127 – TRAVIS: THE MAN WHO
November 12, 2020 18:01 - 1 hour - 81.1 MBTravis's album THE MAN WHO is now old enough to drink. It's also Bob’s favorite album which is odd as Tim does not remember it from their turn of century apartment. So today they are traveling track by track to uncover why its so meaningful to one and mistaken for Radiohead outtakes by the other. For full show notes visit www.nahpods.com.

#126 – THE SIMPSONS: TREEHOUSE OF HORROR I, II & III
October 29, 2020 08:13 - 56 minutes - 65.1 MBNothing says Halloween like the annual network broadcast of IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN CHARLIE BROWN, so thanks again, 2020. In its absence, Bob and Tim are watching another animated classic now owned by another streaming service. It's the first three SIMPSONS TREEHOUSE OF HORRORS, back when it was still known as THE SIMPSONS HALLOWEEN SPECIAL and before it was called ANOTHER EPISODE OF THAT SHOW I USE TO WATCH. Good grief, its the first time they're talking about The Simpsons! For full sho...
DISASTER & A TWO WEEK HIATUS
October 12, 2020 12:46 - 4 minutes - 6.57 MBNormally you’d be hearing “Hey everyone every, my name is Tim Blevins” followed by "20TH CENTURY POP!," or “MENAGE A POP” or some other podcast with the word “pop” in it. But there’s been a glitch. Not in the Matrix but in the production of the show. So here’s that name Tim Blevins telling everyone ever an explanation on what the eff happened, where the eff the shows are and when the eff they are coming back (full disclosure, its in the title of the episode). MENAGE A POP RETURNS MONDAY, OC...
THE RETURN OF THE POP 5!
October 08, 2020 08:21 - 34 minutes - 39.1 MBIt's been a while since the show featured a POP 5. In case you forgot, the Pop 5 was an intermittently reoccurring segment from the earliest days of this podcast. Its something Tim always thought would take off, while Bob just hoped it would drop off. Well today neither one gets their wish as it makes a fanfare-less return with probably the only Bill Bixby reference this show will ever make.

#125 – THE HALLOWEEN THAT ALMOST WASN'T
October 01, 2020 07:27 - 56 minutes - 64.3 MBTrick or treating has been (understandably) called off. But does that mean Halloween is canceled? Last time this was proposed the world plunged into despair and only Judd Hirsch in a cape could rescue it. Wait... what was that last sentence? TAXI’s Judd Hirsch? Apparently he was at the center of a late ‘70s debacle known as THE HALLOWEEN THAT ALMOST WASN’T. And while its not something Bob or Tim grew up watching, their inaugural viewing might be just the thing to save their spooky holi...
GLORIFED RERUN: HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS
September 24, 2020 07:49 - 52 minutes - 60.1 MBLast week Bob and Tim spun some controversy with conflicting takes on Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy. So to cool things off, and with no actual related segue between the two topics, they are reposting this cool episode about horns, harmonicas and maybe more horns. Its an album by album analysis of one of the biggest draws on the 1980s... Huey Lewis And The News. And even 1991's "Hard At Play" got a listen. Yes. They listened to "Hard At Play." (Originally streamed April 20th, 2017) For full s...
#124 – PEARL JAM: VITALOGY
September 17, 2020 07:57 - 1 hour - 76.3 MBBob and Tim don’t always have to agree. In fact, it often makes for a more interesting podcast. And while they have both proclaimed a fandom for Pearl Jam, this listening party of their third album got a bit heated. Who loved it? Who loathed (parts) of it? And what does it all mean for their '90s credibility? Hear a divisive discussion on an overly packaged disc that did not include the dance hit "Vibeology." It's Pearl Jam's 1994 VITALOGY (look THAT word up). 00:00:00 PRE-SHOW PRATT...
GLORIFIED RERUN: SEINFELD
September 10, 2020 08:25 - 1 hour - 84.4 MBBob and Tim have binged a fair share of television these the past six months (and the 516 months before that). And today they are reposting one of those re-watches with an intricate look at the Must See-TV staple, SEINFELD. Through the first two episodes of the inaugural season and the final two that brought it all to a close, they chart how a subtle rendition of ‘90s life morphed into a surreal powerhouse of cartoon proportions. Is there something wrong with that? Is there no soup for ...
#123 – SAVED BY THE BELL: THE COLLEGE YEARS
September 03, 2020 07:32 - 53 minutes - 61.4 MBIn the fantasy world of TV reruns, Fall still means back to school. And for two thirds of Bayside’s graduating class that means year one of both college AND your college based sitcom. SAVED BY THE BELL: THE COLLEGE YEARS was the prime time extension of a childhood mainstay that neither Bob or Tim ever found attachment to. Well, until binging four episodes of this single season failure. That’s when one of the hosts found something surprisingly relevant about Zach, Kelly, Slater and Screec...
GLORIFIED RERUN: ROSS & RACHEL
August 27, 2020 08:01 - 47 minutes - 53.9 MBSo Bob has been appearing all week on Tim’s second podcast, MÉNAGE Á POP. And on Monday’s edition he discussed his long-time resemblance to one of TV’s FRIENDS, Chandler Bing. Therefore, at the risk of turning today’s glorified rerun into a self-serving tie-in, the two are reposting a conversation on a full third of that same ensemble. Its their clinical re-evaluation of the rollercoaster romance between Rachel Greene and that jerk Ross. Ugh. (originally streamed on 8/31/17) This po...
#122 – JAWS
August 20, 2020 07:46 - 53 minutes - 61.1 MBTim has a pretty solid reason for not going to the beach this year. And last year. And pretty much every year dating back to 1975. But, surprisingly, none of those reasons are actually 1975’s JAWS. Why? Because Tim, co-host of this podcast based entirely on obsessing over 20th century pop culture, has never seen the first true summer blockbuster, JAWS. Until today. So slap on some SPF and keep watch from the shoreline as Tim and Bob wade into the unfathomably PG-rated JAWS. 00:00:0...
GLORIFIED RERUN: OASIS
August 13, 2020 07:55 - 1 hour - 79.2 MBCo-host Bob Canning is currently in the midst of a pretty big Twitter project. He's counting down through every single song off every studio album by the rock band Oasis. So as a supplement to his efforts, here's a reposting of that time Bob and Tim listened to and reacted to this same band's 20th century discography. Come for the Paul McGuigan but stay for the Paul Arthurs. Then follow @rhcanning and #rankingoasis both on Twitter. (originally streamed 08/23/18) This podcast is powered ...
#121 – PAC-MAN FEVER
August 06, 2020 07:33 - 59 minutes - 68.4 MBIts after school in’ 82 so might as well head out to drop some change down at Flynn’s Arcade. Along the way you can rock your walkman with the sweet two sided cassette of ... of ... Buckner ... and ... ahm ... and ... well ... Garcia ... I think. Apparently they're the novelty act behind the retro video game album, PAC-MAN FEVER. And today Bob and Tim are wokka-walking through all eight songs to see if it holds any more meaning than its vaper-wave nostalgia. So join in as they break out...
GLORIFIED RERUN: FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR
July 30, 2020 08:01 - 1 hour - 79.8 MBLast week, Bob and Tim indulged one of their favorite time travel adventures through its less-than-stellar third installment. But Back To The Future wasn't the sole Space-Time escapade of their youth, nor was it the first one to be covered on this very show. So while they struggle to get saddle spurs out of their VCR, you can go all retro with this reposting of their trip aboard the 1986 cult classic, FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR. Its early CGI and of-its-moment Howard Hessman... again. Orig...
#120 – BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III
July 23, 2020 07:30 - 55 minutes - 63.9 MBWith its beloved characters, iconic set pieces and epic score, Back To The Future is considered one of the greatest family films of all time. So Bob and Tim are going to talk about ...the third one ... with all its horses ... and cowboy hats... and... ahm ... dirt. Seriously, this is how they discuss one of the defining trilogies of the 1980s? Double-back and consider why its not the second one as they revisit Back To The Future Part 3. 00:00:00 PRE-SHOW PRATTLE -reciting from memory ...
GLORIFIED RERUN: THE MONSTER SQUAD
July 16, 2020 07:40 - 1 hour - 80.7 MBLast week, Tim came down pretty hard on The Goonies. So, in an attempt to soften that blow (and defuse any online retaliation,) he's re-reposting an old episode about another rag-tag band of middle schoolers ... only this time with a supernatural bent. Its Wolf-men with nards and Gill-men stealing Twinkies as Bob and Tim join up with 1987's THE MONSTER SQUAD (and sorry about trashing The Goonies). Original airdate: October 25th, 2018 For full show-notes visit www.nahpods.com This podc...
#119 – MOVIES WE'VE SEEN ENOUGH
July 09, 2020 07:31 - 51 minutes - 58.7 MBWhen we last left Bob and Tim they were perilously perched atop a precarious precipice calculating their viewings of various favorite films. Robots in disguise. Bruce Willis in the sky .. scraper. And not a single one of those weird body switch movies with either Judge Reinhold or Kirk Cameron (and maybe George Burns?) Rejoin them now, atop that same piece of heightened hyperbole only this time nominating movies to never see again. There will be British accents. Cyberpunk action. And ...
BOB AND TIM'S LONG LOST CLERKS PODCAST
July 02, 2020 07:37 - 58 minutes - 66.5 MBBack in 2016, Tim was the tinny host of of a weekly podcast entitled MANIC FILM-MAKER. Never heard of it? Yeah, its been pretty wiped from the web but, thanks to the digital excavation of an old hard drive, we've managed to unearth a particular episode from March 3rd of that year. Why would this four year old audio be of any interest? Well it happens to represent the first time Bob and Tim recorded together in a streamable format. So what follows today, is the sole recorded record of th...
#118 – MOVIES WE'VE SEEN THE MOST
June 25, 2020 07:45 - 48 minutes - 55.8 MBThis week's thrilling installment finds our intrepid hosts venturing once more into the cinematic breach. But make note, this is no mere screening of Hot To Trot. These are the celluloid extravaganzas perpetually displayed across big screens, VHS, possibly laser disc and definitely a free cable weekend. But how many times? Do they still watch them? And why do we care? Best to ignore that last one as you embark on the first chapter of an epic two part episode (editor's note: the use of ...
Not A Hologram Presents: THIS BRIEF HIATUS FROM YOUR NORMAL SHOW
June 13, 2020 07:43 - 1 minute - 1.62 MB20TH CENTURY POP! returns Thursday, June 25th to calculate which movie Bob and Tim has actually viewed the most.
GLORIFIED RERUN: WHEN HARRY MET SALLY
June 04, 2020 08:00 - 48 minutes - 55.7 MBRemember when Bob and Tim discussed When Harry Met Sally? Who would’ve thought that three years later they’d be seated in a two shot relating that very episode. So reminisce like it was whenever by re-streaming that conversation today. And, while you're at it, fake an orgasm. Music Featured In today’s episode includes “It Had To Be You” performed by Billie Holiday from the 1955 Clef records recording. The use of this songs is for entertainment purposes and without the expressed permis...
#117 – THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
May 28, 2020 08:37 - 55 minutes - 63.4 MBEFFIN’ SPOILERS: “Totalitarian Dad jokes made all to easy.” (1980) Last Thursday marked the 40th anniversary of the greatest sci-fi spectacle that isn’t Leprechaun 4. And in celebration, Bob and Tim are talking plot elements that would have been unexpected prior to Star Wars becoming STAR WARS EXCLAMATION POINT. So here's hoping you've seen The Empire Strikes Back. Otherwise, scan to the end of that VHS as they’re probably going to spoiler that one reveal. 00:00:00 UNLICENSED AUDIO - ...
INEXPLICABLE BOOK CLUB SNEAK PREVIEW
May 21, 2020 08:19 - 34 minutes - 39.9 MB“Wait," you might be saying, “didn’t this new podcast already premiere last week?” Well, one DID, but this one is different. “Oh,” you might be following up, “so its that one where he just talks about the Replacements?” Ah… no, that one crashed and burned. THIS one is called INEXPLICABLE BOOKCLUB and it follows Tim and co-host Chis Nicini as they explore classic writings on the paranormal, the extraterrestrial and the overall inexplicable. And, prior to its June 9th premiere, they're si...
#116 – GUIDED BY VOICES: ALIEN LANES
May 14, 2020 15:14 - 56 minutes - 64.4 MBCOMPACT DISCUSSION: “If you find a full length song in there, feel free to play it.“ (1995) The reason today’s podcast is going up late is there are 28 tracks on this freakin' cd. Not that Bob and Tim are complaining as they are both fans of indie royalty Guided By Voices, specifically their 1995 album “’Alien Lanes.” So, as per the format of their reoccurring segment “Compact DiscUssion” they are chatting up EVERY track on the album . Which is 28. Of varying ... ahm.. lyrical content...
SHAMELESS PLUG: MÉNAGE ´A POP SHOW TRAILER
May 08, 2020 12:24 - 1 minute - 1.28 MBHey everyone ever... here's your online peep hole into some intimate internet chats between two consenting adults and a piece of pop culture. Join Tim Blevins every Monday, Wednesday and Friday as he and a guest explore that one album, action figure or tv show that best encapsulates who they are and how they got to be there. And keeping with the voices you already know ... his very first guest also happens to be his 20TH CENTURY POP! co-host Bob Canning MÉNAGE Á POP premieres Monday M...
THE PERILS OF PODCASTING
May 07, 2020 07:35 - 42 minutes - 48.4 MBSo here’s what it sounds like when an episode goes up without editing. Well… there’s an unlicensed audio clip at the beginning and some intro music that fades out but, beyond those remedial feats, this is a pretty good demo on why they never just turn on the mic and talk. Its a rambling mess with some sincerity to boot as Tim offers a bonus look behind the audio curtain of what it means to podcast, what happened to his proposed replacements show and… maybe … why its better when Bob’s he...
#115 – MAZES AND MONSTERS
April 30, 2020 08:30 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBHOW DID I MISS THIS?: "Fantastic corns and mythical cheeses." (1982). In celebration of his recently regenerated hit points, Bob and Tim are watching one of Tom Hanks’s earliest roles. But what should be an adventure film just like Willow winds up a Regan-era damnation of fantasy world role-playing. Best to Charisma check yourself before you Charisma wreck yourself as they drag into the dungeon of 80s television programming. 00:00:00 PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - segue of artifice 00:01:00 ...
SUPER DUPER SNEAK PREVIEW: WHAT'S THAT SONG? WITH TIM BLEVINS
April 23, 2020 07:31 - 13 minutes - 15.3 MBBob's co-host Tim is launching a new podcast next Monday (April 27th) making today's 20TH CENTURY POP! the only advertising he could afford. So take a sneak peek at WHAT'S THAT SONG?, a five day a week deep dive into the discography of the only band that matters, The Replacements. But before properly courting their studio albums, Tim drunkenly hits on the B-Side of their first single, "If Only You Were Lonely." Hear it right here. In this feed. The one that belongs to the actual show you...
GLORIFIED RERUN: WAR GAMES
April 16, 2020 14:31 - 44 minutes - 51.4 MBToday was supposed to be a sneak preview of Tim’s upcoming new podcast, WHAT’S THAT SONG? But, instead, we’re asking WHERE’S THAT SHOW? as both its preview episode and actual release date gets bumped back a full week. So, in the interest of regaining some semblance of schedule, here’s a last minute repost of Bob and Tim talking about Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy, Thermo-nuclear annihilation and not enough Dabney Coleman. Its a look back at War Games … again! This episode of 20TH CENTU...
#114 – TGIF
April 09, 2020 07:43 - 1 hour - 86.3 MBBINGE AND PODCAST: “Having mercy over if I did that is just being ridiculous.“ (1990) Its nearly Friday so pop on some PJs and join Bob and Tim as they binge the second most must see block of 20th Century TV, ABC’S TGIF. That’s a lot of letters but you’re going to need them to spell out the likes of Uncle Jesse, Steven Urkel, Cousin Balki and … Alan Ruck(?) Yup .. Alan Ruck . From Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. And Spin City. And the beginning of that Star Trek movie where Kirk and Picard ...
GLORIFIED RERUN: FRIENDS SEASON 3
April 02, 2020 07:31 - 56 minutes - 64.2 MBSo you’re stuck at home with you’re streaming subscriptions, binging through the likes of the Fraiser, Cybil and, inexplicably, ALF. But wouldn’t you rather the familiar warmth of a camera-ready cappuccino? Or the kenspeckled earworm of an odorous feline? Maybe the sagging eyeline of some stalker named Ross? Sure, Friends may no longer be streaming on Netflix but that doesn’t mean we can’t still talk about them. So Bob and Tim are there for you with this repost of a 2017 binge of ...
#113 – POP CULTURE APOCALYPSES
March 26, 2020 07:36 - 55 minutes - 63.5 MBLIST-A-RAMA-A-GO-GO: “It’s the end of the world as Hudson Hawk knows it.” (1981-1997) Today’s episode title might not be the most optimistic draw but it is representative of a pretty popular mindset. So with it Bob and Tim are socially distancing from separate coasts to discuss wayward comets, robotic sentinels and a time traveling Bruce Willis. Truthfully, 12 Monkeys may not be the most upbeat conversation but at least its a reflection that they’re both still trying. 00:00:00 PRE-...
GLORIFIED RERUN: MISFITS OF SCIENCE
March 19, 2020 07:31 - 1 hour - 73.1 MBWith the world’s situation being pretty much quarantine, we’re about to run out of new and noteworthy series to binge as distractions. So why not dial it back to a time when toilet paper was in abundance and Bob’s biggest fear was getting a cult show cancelled. Indulge in one of their earliest references to Courtney Cox as Bob and Tim repost some deductive reasoning about 1984’s MISFITS OF SCIENCE. It’s a chance to talk about that guy who played Willie from ALF … again. This episode of 2...
#112 – BANDS WITH ONE GREAT ALBUM: 1990S EDITION
March 12, 2020 07:35 - 1 hour - 70.3 MBLIST-A-RAMA-A-GO-GO: "A missed opportunity to talk about Sponge." (1992-1995) When it comes to pop culture, Bob and Tim are completists. Be it thirteen un-carded Dreaknok figures or Louise Simonson's run on X-Factor their collections are always the full body of work. Well, almost always, as there was a moment in the mid 90s when they fell hard for some albums without following the artists. Its an audio anomaly they hope to unravel as they cling to single CDs by Foo Fighters, The Goo Goo Do...
GLORIFIED RERUN: TREKKIES
March 05, 2020 08:35 - 1 hour - 69.2 MBTREKKIES was a documentary that practically lived in the VCR of Bob and Tim’s first apartment. As a look at Star Trek’s obsessive fan base it provided them a re-watchability of quotes, inside jokes and general MST3King. But such disparaging words seem odd coming from the hosts of a podcast so focused on the impact of pop culture. And it was with this re-watch that they first began reevaluating their late 90s behaviors. It’s the trouble with quibbles … again!” This episode of 20TH CEN...
#111 – IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW . . .
February 27, 2020 08:33 - 1 hour - 75.9 MBBINGE AND PODCAST: “It's like, if Caroline was one of Seinfeld's Friends but in a different city.” (1999) Shows about fashionable friends struggling through their 20s with rambling repartee were required viewing in the 1990s. So how, with their pre-Wikipedian knowledge of Must See tv, did Bob and Tim manage to pretty much miss 1999’s IT’S LIKE, YOU KNOW… . Are you familiar? Because they think they are and, in today’s episode, they attempt to understand why this West Coast Seinfeld fai...
GLORIFIED RERUN: THE GODFATHER, JAWS & BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
February 20, 2020 08:31 - 53 minutes - 60.7 MBThe existence of digital media has given its audience access to more movies, music and pop culture than ever before. So it would be odd that certain milestone classics are still capable of slipping past an astute viewer’s purview. Two years ago, cohosts Bob and Tim explored some of these most popular pieces of pop culture that they somehow missed out on. And, with its reposting today, the episode still plays as a relevant exploration toward why they haven’t. This episode of 20TH CENTU...
#110 – MILLENNIAL FEARS AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY
February 13, 2020 08:31 - 59 minutes - 67.9 MB"This Encarta ‘95 trial disc is effed.” (1981-1999) Two decades in and its probably safe to say that YakBak is Y2K compliant. But there was a time where not every warranty was guaranteed past New Year’s Eve 1999. On today’s episode, Bob and Tim count down the pop culture that seemed to lean toward an apocalypse before the 21st Century. Its a who’s who of certain doom featuring such fear mongers as Orson Welles, Nostradamus, Prince and … Ralph Fiennes.. maybe … is the guy from Strange Day...
BONERS ARE BLOOPERS (BUT THESE ARE OUTTAKES)
February 06, 2020 09:24 - 1 hour - 80.2 MBHaving learned that users were losers (and, un-paradoxically, losers were users) , Bob and Tim continue their education by positing boners are bloopers and bloopers are boners. Its a bonus episode of ... well … outtakes and … unused audio … which doesn’t really match the definition of an actual “blooper.” Or a boner. But … boy … are both of those words typed here a lot. Look, its a bonus boner of a blooper episode ... which really just means outtakes and unused audio. Again. This ep...
#109 – PSAs OF THE 1980s
January 30, 2020 08:40 - 1 hour - 88.3 MBPOOP CULTURE: “Some vandal is taking a bite out of our consonants.” (1980-1988) After school and on the weekends were animated times across kids’ tv sets. If it wasn’t scheming Decepticons and imaginative Muppet Babies it was … school yard addictions… ahm … drunkards in the parking lot … your dad’s stash of coke. And apparently all we could do was just say no. Well, today Users and Losers can unite as Bob and Tim crack open some of the most infamous PSAs to ever air after school. A...
GLORIFIED RERUN: BIG
January 23, 2020 08:38 - 46 minutes - 52.9 MBWho knew Tom Hanks liked older women… by about 20 years. Sort of a BIG age discrepancy. Potentially a BIG issue. And sort of the BIG romance promised to us in 1988’s questionable rom-com… BIG. Yeah, it was an uneasy watch the first time and today, Bob and Tim are reposting their reexamination of what the audience that fell in love with the film sort of missed. (full disclosure … its sort of a BIG deal) . This episode of 20TH CENTURY POPCAST was recorded by ZENCASTR, a high fidelity pod...
#108 – INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE
January 16, 2020 08:30 - 1 hour - 77.5 MBRETRO SHOCK: “Duck, duck, goose-shtep.” (1989) Sagas, trilogies and too many sequels were the marquee ingredients of Bob and Tim’s childhood. So, to start off the new year, they are wrapping up one of their favorites with the final chapter of that definitive 80s action serial, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. But, as much as their 14 year old selves love it, their current age can’t help wonder if they already saw this one but with an Ark. Oh no … are they really going to ruin The La...
GLORIFIED RERUN: THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL
December 19, 2019 08:33 - 1 hour - 79.6 MBWith “Rise Of Skywalker” opening tomorrow, Christmas Eve next Tuesday and Life Day now cannon what better time to revisit this episode from the show’s first season. Join Bob and Tim as they try to make this Holiday Special with a little help from guests Alison Novak … ahm … Harvey Korman … and … that … erotic hologram projection Chewie’s dad seemed to enjoy. Its a Force Blast of festivities to the face so sing it: “ Slave 1 rings, are you listening... in a cape, its Calrissian … we’re...
#107 – EVEN MORE CHRISTMAS EPISODES OF THE '80S & '90S
December 12, 2019 08:30 - 1 hour - 74.6 MBBINGE AND PODCAST: “Stranded at the airport, branded a yule.” (1986-1992) Who’s up for getting snowed in with some of their favorite sitcom characters? And the cast of Wings. This week, Bob and Tim are trying to get home for Holiday episodes of shows that include Full House, A Different World and The Golden Girls. And with all that you can expect some spontaneous caroling, seasonal cynicism and at least one heartfelt monologue on the magic of Christmas. Also … the cast of Wings. ...

#106 – HARRY CONNICK JR: WHEN MY HEART FINDS CHRISTMAS
November 28, 2019 08:31 - 1 hour - 78.2 MBCOMPACT DISC-USION: “When Merry met Sappy…” (1993) Today is Thanksgiving which means you’ve already heard “Christmas Wrapping” 16 times at your local coffee shop.
