This episode Carolina chose the break out hit for indie film director George Lucas - American Graffiti (1973). It can be argued that if it were not for the success of this movie we would never have known of a galaxy far, far away…it can also be argued that this just may be his best film! Listen and tell us what you think..you can follow your hosts on Twitter @OKInfografia and @DanMachholz or reach out to the show @UGottaSeeThisPC…we love hearing from you

It’s time to wrap up our 1973 Blend of the Month with George Lucas’ American Graffiti. The film was such a success that it gave Lucas the runway to make Star Wards, one of the biggest cultural films of all time. Christian and Scott spend some time discussing the influence of American Graffiti on hangout movies and high school movies. Then, it’s Scott’s new favorite time of the week: Fun Facts time. The two then share their thoughts—did they save the best for last or were they disappointed? After the review, the monthly blend awards are dished out for Most Influential Scene, Best Performance, and Best Picture. Intro| 0:00 - 1:31, American Graffiti and Hangout Movies| 1:31 - 13:33, Fun Facts| 13:33 - 19:13, American Graffiti Review| 19:13 - 38:54, 1973 Awards| 38:54 - 46:32, Next Week + End| 46:32 - 49:08

Many years back, and I mean many years back in the late 80’s and early 90’s I worked in the radio broadcasting industry in Southern California: Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and an area known as “The Inland Empire”... it’s sort of a “shadow market” of the Los Angeles area which we didn’t particularly love.  It encompasses the San Bernardino/ Riverside areas of Southern California. It was there during the early 90’s that I was actually on a morning show for a couple-a-three years. It was a rock station that rocked a little bit harder than your average rock station.   We played the traditional hard rock and classic rock like AC/DC, Aerosmith, Rush, Van Halen, Zeppelin, Metallica etc. and all the hair bands from the 80’s like  Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, White Snake, Motley Crue, Twisted Sister... Specific to the early 90’s you had bands like:Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Radio Head, Alice In Chains, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots… We even played  Iron Maiden… yup.  But not in the morning.  Can you imagine waking up to Iron Maiden? I bring up all these artists and bands to give you a flavor for the kind of rock station I worked for and the core of that audience which is pretty hard rockin’ head banging blue collar folks.  We targeted Males 18 - 34 and 25 - 49 which shouldn’t really surprise you considering once again we’re dialing it all the way back to the early 90’s. My guest is my former morning show partner who went on to host that morning show after I got fired for my big fat mouth for 25 years.  That’s a pretty unusual achievement in radio back then as radio personalities tended to move from market to market either up the food chain or down depending on your ratings, etc.  We talk about how radio and the way we consume music and talk radio has changed so completely since then.  I wanna say that the way we listen to music and talk radio has changed in that time as drastically as Uber and Lyft changed the transportation and taxi industry only the Uber phenomenon happened over a much shorter period of time that it seemed so much more revolutionary but the change is still pretty staggering . We talk about the Portable People Meter or “PPM” which is device like a pager and a radio ratings system developed by Arbitron otherwise known as the Nielson Ratings… remember them?  Maybe you were a “Nielson Family” at one point. Still around. It’s not going all the way back to the days where we gathered around the radio and stared at it while voices came out of it nor is it George Lucas’ American Graffiti, but it is going back a little way as we reminisce about radio on the Modern Moron...  AC/DC Back In Black Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart Pearl Jam - Even Flow Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills Rush - Spirit of The Radio

This week, we took on George Lucas' American Graffiti, before taking on the career of the man himself in part 2. It's fair to say that we have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with Lucas, overall.   For the next episode, since we'll be on episode 69 and have the maturity of a couple of 14 year olds, we'll be talking about the infamous 1972 skin-flick, "Deep Throat".     For the question of the week, we're turning the mics back to you lovely people:   Ask us anything!   Let us know any thoughts via the usual contact channels below.
