"Legend" is a mesmerizing 1985 fantasy film starring Tom Cruise in one of his early breakout roles.

A Decade of Chuck Norris: The 1980's
Retro Life 4 You
08/16/22 • 77 min
Did you know that Chuck Norris once swam around the Virgin Islands & when he was done they just referred to them as "the islands"? The mans beard is so tough he can grate cheese on it! He once got bit by a rattlesnake and after 3 days of excruciating pain... that snake died. We could tell a ton more of these and there that many & more out there but let's really get down to it. In todays episode we talk about the legend in his time, Chuck Norris. Specifically we are going to talk a little on his life before movies and then his catalog of 1980's movies. This is my last episode of season one (episode 25) and some might say we saved the greatest action star for last! So look, don't take any chances and become "missing in action" and don't make us get you with that powerful roundhouse kick from chuck, sit back and enjoy hearing about the man, the myth, the legend

What a great time it was to sit down and talk with Patrick Labyorteaux! He was in Little House On The Prairie as Andy Garvey and he was in all 10 seasons of JAG as Lt Bud Roberts Jr. He was in some great comedies in the 80's such as Summer School, Ski School and Heathers and the 3 Ninjas in 1992. He has done voiceover work on the Spiderman cartoon that ran from 1995-1998 and has played bit roles in more tv shows then I can possibly mention here. He is currently working with people helping them on their way to becoming actors/actresses or voice over artists and you can check that out or even register for a class at www.workingactorsschool.com. Personally I'd love to be a voice over artist and who knows, maybe one day I will have some work out there but until then, just enjoy this interview we had and if you do like it then please rate & review us on iTunes or Spotify if you listen there. If you watch us on YouTube then subscribe and leave a comment and by all means, please subscribe and follow the audio podcast as I am really looking to grow it to something big we can all love. The bigger I get the more stars we can get to interview for you! =0)

5 Card Draw Anyone? Let's Talk some Maverick!
Retro Life 4 You
06/15/23 • 54 min
Per IMDB-
Maverick is recreated from the character James Garner created in the 1950s TV program. Maverick is a gambler who would rather con someone than fight them. He needs an additional three thousand dollars in order to enter a Winner Take All poker game that begins in a few days. He tries to win some, tries to collect a few debts, and recover a little loot for the reward, all with a light hearted air. He joins forces with a woman gambler with a marvelous, though fake, southern accent as the two both try and enter the game.
