SUMMER BLOCKBUSTERS OF THE 1980S
20th Century Pop!
08/30/18 • 64 min
LIST-A-RAMA-A-GO-GO: "Stranded at the indoor drive-in" (1983-1989). With the summer heat crashing their weather channel apps, Bob and Tim are taking solace in the cinema of their youth. And what unfolds out of focus isn't some escapist screenings meant to wait out the 80s. These are the big screen projections that inititated their life-long exploration of pop culture. So, turn down those lights (where applicable) and thrill to this full hour like it was Krull.
00:00:00 PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - an effin’ spoiler for the episode
00:00:58 THE GREAT INDOORS - seeing summer movies in the 1980s
00:05:21 BOTH OF THEIR NUMBER FIVES - animated antics of a shared universe
00:12:49 PARENTAL GUIDANCE REJECTED - a pattern begins
00:17:11 BOB’S NUMBER FOUR - is not “Fletch”
00:22:25 TIM’S NUMBER FOUR - cartooning it up
00:28:56 TIM’S NUMBER THREE - is Bob’s Number One
00:35:01 BOB’S NUMBER THREE - is Tim’s Number One
00:40:27 BOB’S NUMBER TWO - and his eldest bikes alone
00:46:31 TIM’S NUMBER TWO - tv titans go to the movies
00:53:43 A BIGGER SCREEN TREATMENT - and viewing it through Kid Goggles
01:00:02 CLOSINGS - contacts, plugs and no catch-phrase
01:02:42 SPECIAL FEATURES - a shapely toot
SPOILER ALERT: In a sequential order that (sort of) spoils any anticipated surprise to what is on Bob and Tim's respective TOP FIVE SUMMER BLOCKBUSTERS OF THE 1980S THAT WE SAW AT THE MOVIE THEATER WHEN THEY CAME OUT (phew) ... here are some trailers.
Try and guess the culprit with the strangely extended ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TRAILER FOR WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT.
Have no idea what the movie will probably be about with the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TEASER TO BACK TO THE FUTURE.
Wonder where the Annie Potts shout-out went with the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TRAILER TO GHOSTBUSTERS 2.
Compose your own score to coincide with the final 28 seconds of this ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TRAILER TO BATMAN.
Listen to the narrator of HARDWARE WARS tell you there is another Star Wars movie with the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TRAILER TO RETURN OF THE JEDI.
Whip it .. .ah ... good (?) with the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TRAILER TO INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE.
Try and imagine what the audience for Stallone's COBRA made of this when they were screened the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TRAILER TO TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE.
And ... as a bonus ... here's the video for Stan Bush's THE TOUCH that took two people to direct.

OUVRE COMPENSATING: "He's a real Noel-where Man (formerly Liam It Be)" (1994-1998) There was a time when the biggest music act on the planet shot straight out of Britain to invade the U.S. Some would say they were bigger than Jesus. They would would say "eff the Beatles."

PAUL WESTERBERG
20th Century Pop!
09/21/17 • 68 min
OUVRE COMPENSATING: "Waiting for, wanting and not quite having somebody." (1993): Despite cosplaying as Richard Lewis, the one idol Tim ever wanted to be was Paul Westerberg. But not as the sloppy frontman off the legendary Replacements that gets written of in legend, Instead, TIm copped from his fairly forgotten solo work of the 1990s. And today he and Bob discuss why this was more than just a world class fad.
00:00:00 - NO PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - Bob and Tim get right to it ... sort of / "Down Love"

00:26:53 - (NEARLY) 14 REASONS WHY - wearing Westerberg on his sleeve
00:40:09 - SOMETHING IS (A LITTLE LIKE) ME - an emotional reference point, circa 1993
00:45:32 - SAD DAD ROCK VOL. 1 - Finally getting to "Eventually"
00:52:51 - MATS-URITY - echoes of the Replacements
00:57:27 - SAD DAD ROCK VOL. 2 - a saccharine sounding board
01:01:31 - FINAL HURRAH - encapsulating the '90s in only three albums (well ... at least two)

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND
20th Century Pop!
09/15/17 • 35 min
RETRO SHOCK: “This means something (to Tim). This is important (to Tim)" (1977) Today's episode is pretty late, partially because it was recorded on the way to an AM showing of today's topic CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. This year marks its 40th anniversary and, since it is his favorite film of all time, Tim wanted to make sure he caught it during its cinematic release. But, as you can hear here, just getting the cinema is an event in itself.
00:00:00 - PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - “who are you people?”
00:00:15 - THURSDAY MORNING MATINEE - On the way to the movie theater / “Close Encounters Of The Third Kind Disco ’45”
00:09:49 - NOVEMBER 16th, 1977 - and how Tim finally encountered this movie

00:24:06 - THE PROXIMITY OF CONTACT - Tim recounts his own close encounter … of sorts
00:29:12 - THE IMPORTANCE OF MEANING SOMETHING - why this movie matters … why its important
00:31:46 - CLOSINGS - Contacts, plugs and no catchphrase / “Flying Saucers”
00:33:12 - BONUS FEATURES - a snack before showtime / “Don’t Stop Me Now”
MUSIC FEATURED IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
“Close Encounters Of The Third Kind Disco 45” performed by John Williams and his flair-panted orchestra circa 1977.
“Starman” performed by David Bowie from his classic 1972 album ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS"
"Flying Saucers" performed by Nina Hagen from her 1983 album FEARLESS
"Don't Stop ME Now" performed by Queen during a car commercial prior to the 11:25 am screening of the film CLOE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. At least I think it was a car commercial.

JOSS WHEDON AND THE FALL OF POP IDOLS
20th Century Pop!
09/07/17 • 67 min
POOP CULTURE: “Wait ... this is how we do a Charles In Charge episode?” Its been a rough couple weeks for Buffy fans, what with patron saint Joss Whedon being revealed as a patriarchal wolf in feminist clothing. But does the despicable behavior of the artist void the impact of his actual art? Bob and Tim take a look at this pop cultural fall-out while also, somehow, invoking Scott Baio.
00:00:00 - PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - numb nut crock-o-duck
00:00:37 - TOPPLING IDOLS - so this is how we’re finally talking about Joss Whedon / “Fallen Angel”
00:06:59 - SODOM AND GOMORRAH PAINS - the transubstantiation of Kirk Cameron
00:13:02 - NOONE LOVES CHACHI - not making Charles In Charge great again
00:19:00 - YEA, YEA, YEA, GONNA HAVE A ROUGH TIME - the perverse monster of Bill Cosby
00:27:16 - BEAUTIFUL ART AND GROTESQUE ARTISTS - despicable show credits
00:35:55 - DON’T FORGET ABOUT DOLLHOUSE - the tainted influence of Joss Whedon
00:43:54 - WHEDONESQUE VS. WHEDONLESS - can Buffy maintain her legacy?
00:52:18 - PRESSURE THE PATRIARCHY - why this conversation matters (and should continue)
01:05:06 - CLOSINGS - Contacts, plugs and no catchphrase / “Walking On Sunshine”

COMPACT DISC-USSION: “Globalized aversion to a pelican.” (1993) It was a long walk from Tower Records before two college Freshman got to hear Pearl Jam’s Sophomore effort.

BONERS ARE BLOOPERS (BUT THESE ARE OUTTAKES)
20th Century Pop!
02/06/20 • 70 min
Having 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 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.
