20th Century Pop!

Episode 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.

Episode 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 Baywatch episode (really, this year has got to stop). You can watch today’s guest JASON DUGRE in GILMORE GIRLS (season 4 episode 12: “A Family Matter), GILMORE GIRLS: A YEAR IN THE LIFE (episode 3: “Summer”) and the independent feature film SAINT BERNARD available for rent and purchase on AMAZON PRIME.

Bob 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 year. 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.... their still to come Christmas one ... and probably another of these.It's maybe worth your time. For full show notes visit www.nahpods.com.

Travis'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.

Nothing 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 show notes and music attribution visit www.nahpods.com. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Normally 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, OCTOBER 26th & 20TH CENTURY POP! RETURNS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29th!(that's two exclamation points). This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

It'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.

Trick 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 holiday. Or... at the very least ... get the DEAR JOHN theme out of their heads. 00:00:00 UNLICENSED AUDIO - Breaking News 00:00:37 HALLOWEEN BLITZED- brought to you by Lows Business Department Store LLC 00:07:33 HOW DID THEY MISS - THE HALLOWEEN THAT ALMOST WASN’T? - and kids love Taxi 00:13:29 THAT ‘70s CAST - dressing up your network stars 00:22:27 NOT DIGGING THIS PLOT - and maybe that’s the wrong protagonist 00:31:59 CONJOURING YOUR DEMON-GRAPHIC - and an unintentional plot line 00:37:33 WHY AM LEGION? - hodgepodge, repetition or sincere 00:47:07 THE NOSTALGIA THAT ALMOST WASN’T - aka the Night Bob Canning Saved Nostalgia 00:52:09 CLOSING - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase For full show notes visit www.nahpods.com.

Last 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."

Bob 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 PRATTLE - note-taking practices 00:00:54 THE CD IS NOT ….

Bob 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 you? Yadda Yadda, yadda? Quotes! (originally streamed May 10th 2018) For full show notes visit www.nahpods.com.

In 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 Screech. While the other host … let’s just type “less so” and let the episode speak for itself.

So 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 podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Tim 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. 00:00:00  UNLICENSED AUDIO - Quint and Crackers 00:00:38  BEACH BLANKET BOTTLE NOSE -and there’s still a pandemic 00:05:51  JUNE 20TH, 1975 - Tim hasn’t seen JAWS 00:10:02  GOOD MEMORY/BAD MEMORY - dipping into the waters 00:12:18  MODERN DAY - now Tim has seen JAWS 00:14:16  AMITY HORROR - verses Amity ha-ha 00:17:24  BRODIE IN ARMS - and Hooper & Quint 00:25:45  MOBY DICK SWING AND A MISS - did he just give up on the town?  00:29:41  ITS SHARK-TIRICAL -  iconic monster or metaphor with teeth?   00:36:37  STOP PLAYIN’ WITH YOUR SELF - and forgetting Good Reality/Bad Reality 00:48:25   CLOSING - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase  00:50:28  SPECIAL BONUS AUDIO - Unfortunate Search History  00:52:00  MORE UNLICENSED AUDIO - Original Motion Picture Trailer For Jaws 19 For full show notes visit www.nahpods.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Co-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 by Pinecast.

Its 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 the Buckner and … who was it?

Last 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. Originally streamed on July 26th 2018 For full show notes visit www.nahpods.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

With 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 00:01:09 ISN’T IT SEMANTICS? - two sequels verses a trilogy 00:06:34 MAY 25TH, 1990 - and Bob’s seen this one the most? 00:10:54 MODERN DAY - trilogy intentions 00:14:10 DEJA BOO - and what’s up (with) Doc? 00:23:12 TACKED IN TIME - and an actual train wreck 00:28:21 THE CLAYTON PARADOX - Tim takes a little too long to not quite explain time travel 00:34:14 SPACE TIME CONTINUITY - and that dastardly DeLorean 00:39:00 SPACE TIME CONUNDRUM - where did all this character development come from? 00:47:14 GOOD REALITY/BAD REALITY - and maybe that particular conversation was off mic 00:49:34 CLOSING - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase For full show notes visit www.nahpods.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Last 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).

When 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 probably some pre-teen acne in at least one of the cast ensembles. 00:00:00 PREVIOUSLY ON … - a reliable recap 00:01:05 IT'S THAT “PART 2” - and a false start 00:02:47 RED PILL OVERDOSE - and seeing Marky Mark’s junk … once 00:13:02 TOO MANY CALLED ME TIM - beating a parrot sketch dead 00:22:02 PRICK SPOTLIGHT - and trying to define “enough” 00:26:18 ENOUGH “R” ENOUGH - splitting on nostalgia 00:33:31 GUMPY OLD MEN - and Bob is going to show this to his kids(?) 00:40:54 (RE)WATCH OF AGES - and matters of accessibility 00:47:14 CLOSING - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase 00:50:26 BONUS FEATURE AUDIO - That guy from “Numbers” FOR FULL SHOW NOTES VISIT www.nahpods.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Back 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 that fateful conversation. Its like that treasure map from the Goonies ... tempered with a little Al Capone’s vault.

This 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?

20TH CENTURY POP! returns Thursday, June 25th to calculate which movie Bob and Tim has actually viewed the most.

Remember 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.

EFFIN’ 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.

“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.

COMPACT 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 and... musical ... well ... experimentation ...with... you know, drums.. and … one track with strings... ugh... maybe next time just dive in that Lou Grahm cassingle Tim mentions at the end.  Thanks for your patience.00:00:00 PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - groping show notes00:00:53 VINYL COUNT - beginner’s guide to voices00:05:40 THE CD IS … ALIEN LANES - a salty start00:08:50 SLANG OF CONFIDENCE - and hearing “Watch Me Jumpstart” 00:12:29 DOUBLE, DOUBLE, TWITTER AND TROUBLE - a resemblance to pop00:16:53 SUMMATION OF A 20-SOMETHING - and “Game Of Pricks” on repeat00:20:21 DEMO LISTENER’S DERBY - the cleaner version of “A Dumb Vision”00:24:09 COMMERCIAL BREAK - Tim’s new podcast “Ménage Á Pop00:25:26 ENOUGH WITH THE BEATLES COMPARISONS - and that goes for the Oasis ones too00:32:33 THAT INDIE SOUND - and that chaotic bridge00:35:01 HERE COME THE GLUM JETS - an actual snore fest00:38:40 DIRIGIBLE PLANETS - and a political song for Robert Pollard to sing 00:43:05 GUIDED BY POULTRY - and wanting an alternate version00:46:47 SOMETHING TO LEAVE THE ROOM TO - and (finally) getting through it00:52:11 CLOSING - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase 00:55:07 BONUS BEHIND THE SCENES AUDIO - standing in the rankingsGrease that squeaky wheel and wonder what they were looking for under the bed with the ORIGINAL MUIC VIDEO FOR A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT VERSION OF MY VALUABLE HUNTING KNIFE.Then try and hitch a ride with this double dose ORIGINAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR AUDITORIUM AND MOTOR AWAY.Celebrate 25 years of 28 tracks with UPROXX’s “A SALTY SALUTE: THE ORAL HISTORY OF GUIDED BY VOICES’S 90S INDIE CLASSI “ALIEN LANES” complied by Steven Hyden.Read what it was like to hear this for the first time with the original 1995 ROLLING STONE REVIEW FOR ALIEN LANES by Matt Diehl.And finally, just for reference, this is LOU GRAHM’S “JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME.” The use of audio and video clips linked from YOUTUBE are for educational purposes and without the expressed permission of their legal holding companies.  All rights remain with with their original distributor.

So 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 here.

So 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 four episodes from season 3. It’s The One Where No One Is Ready, The One With The Race Car Bed, The One With The Flashback and probably at least one that reminds us how Ross is a jerk.

LIST-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-SHOW PRATTLE - taking longer than normal to get there00:02:03  TOTAL DISTRACT OF THE HEART - and an outbreak of anxieties00:10:24  12 MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE BED - prelude to the apocalypse00:20:30  COMET COMET COMET COMET COMET CHAMELEON - O.K. at the end of the world  00:28:20  FIELD OF DOOMS - I guess they’re talking about Kevin Costner here00:34:09  COMMERCIAL BREAK - Tim’s new podcast “What’s that Song?”00:36:03  UNCANNY X-MAGGEDDONN - lingering plot threads and having it coming 00:41:26  SUMMATION IN PLACE - what this pop culture makes of what’s happening right now00:51:02  CLOSINGS - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase00:54:13  UNLICENSED AUDIO - Schlemiel, Schlimazel, Hasenpfeffer IncorporatedEngage with this journalistic take on why 12 MONKEYS IS THE APOCALYPSE MOVIE WE NEED RIGHT NOW by Abraham Riesman recently reposted at VULTURE.com.Watch the (by this point, to be expected) difficulties filmmaker Terry Gilliam had making 12 Monkeys as chronicled with the full length documentary THE HAMSTER FACTOR (AND OTHER TALES OF 12 MONKEYS) by directors Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe.Dance along to a Cyndi Lauper cover during this RANDOM DANCE SCENE FROM NIGHT OF THE COMET.

With 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.

LIST-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.

TREKKIES 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.

BINGE 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 failed to connect with a weekly audience. That … and Tim’s voice cracks.

The 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 CENTURY POPCAST was recorded by ZENCASTR, a high fidelity podcast recording platform that records multiple guests from multiple zip-codes all as if they were in the same room.

"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.

POOP 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.

RETRO 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.

BINGE 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.

COMPACT 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. But maybe your ideal carols don’t include wishing you a Funky Funky X-Mas. Maybe you want something just a little more … traditional. Bob and Tim think they might so they are big banding their way though Harry Connick Jr’s “When My Heart Finds Christmas.” It’s 14 tracks of festive spirit, holiday cheer and enough smugness to make Billy Crystal second guess his stand-up career.

BINGE AND PODCAST: “Uncle Buck the series, that’s not right.” (1990) While most of us in this modern age prefer streaming our entertainment at home, there was a time when we looked forward to piling into the family station wagon, stocking up on Kit Kats and checking out the big-screen exploits of John Candy. The 1990s were a big movie-going era and, in an attempt to replicate that endeavor, networks took some of these cinematic hits and transmogrified them into weekly programming. But should they have? Bob and Tim wonder this aloud as this sit through Sandra Bullock in WOKING GIRL, Jennifer Aniston in FERRIS BUELLER and the desire to forcibly stab out their ear-drums with a cereal spoon in UNCLE BUCK. Its big screen comedies as small screen sitcoms and … unfortunately … one of them is Uncle Buck. 00:00:00  PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - and already not liking Uncle Buck00:00:42  INAUDIBLE DAUGHTERS - and breaking down the Binge And Podcast00:04:35  NOT QUITE WORKING GIRL - did anyone show Sandra Bullock the movie?00:12:48  NEWBERN GLORY - and maybe a little too much about Sal00:21:04  WORKING IN THE 90S - and a Wings reference00:23:17  FERRIS BUELLER CAN’T LOOSE - and kids say the John Hughest things 00:28:17  TITULAR PROBLEM - liking everyone but the main character 00:41:50  A PRAYER FOR KEVIN MEANEY - if Uncle Buck’s hat fits … wear it?00:47:12  BUCKING IT UP - and that friend’s name was “Skank”00:55:14  FAUX SEASON PREMIERES - Bob and Tim pitch a couple shows to no one 01:02:38  CLOSINGS - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase01:05:50  UNLICENSED AUDIO - So damn scaryStruggle like Bob and Tim did through the topics of today’s episode with WORKING GIRL EPISODE 05: IT’S ONLY LOVE, FERRIS BUELLER EPISODE 08: SLOANE AGAIN, NATURALLY and UNCLE BUCK EPISODE EPISODE 05: BUCK TO SCHOOL (sorry).Witness why Tim was briefly so excited to see George Newbern in the WOKING GIRL episode with his opening credit lip-synch performance TURN UP THE RADIO (as actually performed by Kip Lennon) in the in the opening credit sequence to the 1988 made-for-tv Disney movie DOUBLE SWITCH.See how hard it was to watch someone else play Dante with this ORIGINAL UNAIRED 1996 PILOT TO CLERKS.And finally learn to hate the concept of melodic composition realizing that someone actually took time from their brief existence in reality to compose THE UNCLE BUCK OPENING THEME SONG.

GHOSTS AND GOBLINS: “Houdini gonna call?” (1987) Its Halloween night so Bob and Tim are avoiding the neighborhood kids by watching the live TV special “The Search For Houdini.” Hosted by William Shatner, this long-forgotten broadcast featured performances by popular ‘80s magicians as well the promise of contacting the long deceased escape artist via a live seance. But was that last part just some s**t my Kirk says or did something truly paranormal happen that forced producers to cut to an unplanned commercial? Its just one of the goosebumps you’ll .. ahm .. get goosed with (?) as they share some 20th century tales of ghosts on film, satanic recordings and an arcade cabinet of the damned. 00:00:00  UNLICENSED AUDIO - William Shatner is magic?00:00:41  TRICK OR REPEAT - its a conversation about Halloween again00:04:56  OCTOBER 31ST, 1987 - watching “The Search For Houdini” live00:13:11  GURNEYS AND GUNNERSONS - illusionary filler00:19:05  SEANCE ANYTHING - backstage panic during the production00:30:24  PLAYING SCULLY - and analog legends before the digital age 00:36:06  THREE MEN AND A PHANTAM - g-g-g-ghost .. or Ted D-d-d-Danson00:45:02  PLAY IT IN REVERSE, SON OF SAM - subliminal satanism 00:50:29  SMALLER FACES OF DEATH - blood on the Yellow Brick Road00:55:09  GAME OVER MAN - arcade cabinet conspiracy01:02:35  SCARY STORIES TO TWEET IN THE DARK - urban legends via a modern medium01:09:41  CLOSINGS - contacts, plugs and no catch phraseRead a bit about "The Search For Houdini" special with WHEN HOUDINI WENT LIVE by John Cox from the well-researched online blog WILD ABOUT HARRY … and then wonder what happened to the SPOOKY UPDATE ABOUT THE SEANCE Tim originally found there two years ago.Piece together some of the THE SEARCH FOR HOUDINI with VHSed performances by PENN AND TELLER and DEAN GUNNERSON as originally posted on the DAREDEVIL926 Youtube page.Witness the OFFICIAL HOUDINI 1987 SEANCE as it aired and see if you can spot the moment the paranormal occurence occurs.See Ted Danson and Olympia Non-Dukakis act totally unaware as a phantom boy hovers behind them in this GHOST FROM THREE MEN AND A BABY clip followed by a closer spectral analysis with THREE MEN AND A BABY: A CLOSER LOOK. Descend the Stairway To Heaven to hear what Robert Plant was really talking about with this LED ZEPPELIN REVERSED MESSAGE from their fourth album. Mourn their yellow bricked loss and then do the research on THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SUICIDAL MUNCHKIN.And, finally, blow your weekly allowance while you blow you mind with the seven-part, Arcade-based POLYBIUS CONSPIRACY PODCAST from RADIOTOPIA that terrified Tim's nightly commute home.The use of audio and video clips linked from YOUTUBE are for educational purposes and without the expressed permission of their legal holding companies.  All rights remain with with their original distributor.This episode of 20TH CENTURY POP! was recorded by CAST, an online audio platform that lets you create and record a multi-guest podcast straight from your web-browser.    It was then mastered by AUPHONIC, a web-based post-production service that makes it sound like Bob and Tim are worth listening to.  Check out both sights for trial and subscription information.MUSIC FEATURED IN TODAY’S EPISODE:"Ghost Surf Rock" performed by Loyalty Freak Music from their 2018 album WITCHY, BATTY, SPOOKY, HALLOWEEN IN SEPTEMBER!! available at Freemusicarchives.org.   Cleared for public domain use through Creative Commons under a CCO 1.0 Universal License.   "Plague Of Zombies" performed by Haunted Corpse from their 2018 album DIRGES FOR THE UNDEAD available at Freemusicarchives.org.

Three weeks ago Tim uploaded an episode detailing his recent difficulties with the podcast. And, while honest in its insight, his diatribe was missing the most integral element to this show. The Bert to his Ernie. The Zan to his Jayna. The Nelson brother standing on the cover of After The Rain to his Nelson brother who is sitting on that same album cover. So today he’s re-joined with his friend Bob to react, rebute and regroup as co-hosts of this podcast. Its not the normal type of episode for this show … but it is the necessary type of episode to move forward.This episode of 20TH CENTURY POP! was recorded by CAST, an online audio platform that lets you create and record a multi-guest podcast straight from your web-browser.    It was then mastered by AUPHONIC, a web-based post-production service that makes it sound like Bob and Tim are worth listening to.  Check out both sights for trial and subscription information.MUSIC FEATURED IN TODAY’S EPISODE:“Super Poupi” (opening theme) and "Poupi Great Adventures: The Arcade Game" (closing theme) performed by Komiku from the 2018 album POUPI'S INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES available at Freemusicarchives.org.   Cleared for public domain use through Creative Commons under a CCO 1.0 Universal License.   Subscribe to 20TH CENTURY POP! on APPLE PODCASTS, STITCHER and ANDROID or stream it at www.20popcast.com.Like, share and reminisce with 20TH CENTURY POP! on FACEBOOKFollow whats not 20th Century Fox with 20TH CENTURY POP! @20popcast on TWITTER.And crop a square snapshot with 20TH CENTURY POP! @20popcast on INSTAGRAM.Contact the show with any questions, suggestions or possible topics at 20popcast@gmail.com, #20popcast on Twitter and the POP TALK section of www.20popcast.com.Follow ROBERT CANNING @rhcanning on TWITTER.
