A battle for supremacy with AI over 1970s movie soundtracks.Episode 221 is the appetizer of GenX nostalgia before Thanksgiving week.We start with a rise and fall for the ages. Imagine going from on top of the world to being dropped by your record label in an instant. That is what happened to the pop duo Milli Vanilli 35 years ago this week.

We do a deep dive into the unbelievable but true story of Milli Vanilli.40 years ago this week a new comic strip debuted and changed the way people viewed them. Calvin and Hobbes brought insight and thought-provoking conversations to the typically simple world of newspaper comics.

It's a 40th anniversary celebration of the beloved comic strip this week.Me v. AI Top 5 returns with a bang and maybe some funky dance moves. I battle ChatGPT over the best 1970s movie soundtracks while a pair of computer programs battle over who gets to read the AI answers.There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule, where we look back at the creation of the beloved teddy bear.You can support my work by becoming a member on Patreon.
