From humble 8-bit beginnings to a worldwide sensation, Pokémon has made it's mark in a myriad of pop culture media around the globe for almost 30 years. But can the humble host of this podcast, oblivious to the Pokémon experience, learn why this property has survived, and thrived, for so long? Luckily, he's called in TOP MEN, as Mike is joined by Ross & Ryan from the HISTORY ON FILM podcast to school him in all things Pikachu. They've even brought games!

1989 was the year of sequels, so why not have a sequel to our 1989: Pop Culture Awakening episode?!? I'm joined once again by Anthony (Tin Foil Consortium) to wade through not only the TV, movies and music of 1989, but the far reaching influence and the past influences that are connected to the pop culture we love from that magical year. There's SO MUCH to love about 1989, we had to get back together and record!Yeah, sequels can be tiresome, but sometimes they're even BETTER than the original! Especially if they're the middle of a trilogy....

I'm a big wuss, this is no secret. I'm not really into horror movies, even though I came of age during the 80's, arguably the greatest decade for horror cinema ever. But I always had an affinity for vampires, and THE LOST BOYS was the kind of horror/comedy hybrid that was right up my alley. I welcome BRAD REITER (Big Beard Booty Daddy) back down into the basement for my HALLOWEEN episode to share our thoughts regarding this stylish, sexy and funny mash up with a killer young cast and an even better soundtrack! I still believe...do YOU?!?

From Dark Avenger of the Night to smiling Caped Crusader, the Batman we saw on our movie screens from 1989 to 1997 swung wildly in tone, content and quality. Join Mike as he welcomes Brad Reiter, aka Big Beard Booty Daddy, down into the Basement to look back at the cinematic journey of Batman during the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher years, an era that saw both directors stamp their influences and personalities onto the Masked Manhunter and his world, for better or worse. HOLY SERIES RECAP! Grab your Bat Credit Card and get ready to Bat dance by the pale moonlight, cause if ya gotta end season 1 of the podcast, ya might as well go with a smile!

Living Legends...not many can use that mantle and actually embody it for over 60 years and counting, especially when some of the legends ain't living anymore. Summer's here and the time is right for fightin' in the street, boys....so join me in welcoming Bill Dunn down in the Basement as we go through the past darkly and midnight ramble our way from Beggars Banquet to Black and Blue, with pitstops along the moonlight mile and rock 'n roll wasteland of the 60's and 70's. You can't always get what you want, but with this episode we promise not to leave your love in vain. Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues, scrape the shit right off your shoe and immerse yourself in the crossfire hurricane that is THE ROLLING STONES, 1968 - 1976!

How do we become sports fans? After we become sports fans, how do we watch our favorite teams? Gather with family and friends? Shun all others and obsess alone? And do we pass these traditions onto our children, as they may have been passed to us? Join Mike as he welcomes his bitter rival Scott, otherwise known as ChiefsMASHforever, down into the POP CULTURE BASEMENT to discuss the origins of sports fandom, growing up watching games on television or in person, and the traditions and memories associated with following the teams we love. All this, and some good natured, old fashioned ball busting! What more could you ask for sports fans?!?

It's no exaggeration when I say that this TV special has lived inside my subconscious for over 40 years, trying to claw its way to the surface. When you're dealing with material like this, you bring in the big guns, which is why SPECIAL GUEST Henry Bernstein is here to help me sift through my childhood angst and break down 1978's PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON! We start with Puff and end up at Superman...in between we discuss 70's animation trauma, unmade Bob Dylan cartoons and opine on why Adam West is an underrated Batman. Things get CRAZY, and I don't just mean the psychedelic storyboards used for this special! Join us as I unpack my psyche, won't you?!? It's a good one!
