Order a copy of my debut film, Cape Cod Cthulhu!
The infomercial products we saw in the 80s and 90s. The legacy of MTV Unplugged. The companies that went under when the Dot-Com bubble burst.
Episode 228 carries us through the hazy shade of winter with a warm fire filled with GenX nostalgia.
It kicks off with a look back at some of the most famous, or in some cases infamous, infomercial products we'd see when staying home from school in the 1980s and 1990s. Spray-on hair? Knives that can cut through cans? Stopping the insanity? It's all here and much more.
Sometimes less is more, and sometimes quieter makes a louder sound. MTV Unplugged took music's polished studio sound and flipped it on its head. Rock, Pop, Grunge, Hip-Hop, and more made the jump into smaller settings and acoustic instruments. We will examine the history of one of the most influential television shows in music history.
All bubbles burst. When the Dot-Com bubble burst at the turn of the 21st century, it created a vacuum that took with it many once-prosperous companies. This week's Top 5 will look at some of the biggest to burst along with the bubble.
There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
