In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 245: Michael Jackson's Moonwalker; Me v. AI Bad Movies with Great Soundtracks; 1990s How It Started, How It Ended; Andre the Giant(5-20-2026)

How the 1990s started vs. how they ended. Some terrible movies with great soundtracks. The King of Pop's feature-length film debut.

Episode 245 is a perfect picnic of GenX nostalgia as Memorial Day Weekend approaches.

We kick, spin, and awkwardly lean to one side as we look back at Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. A feature-length film and video game, this project came out at the peak of Jackson's fame. How were these received? We will dive deep into both.

A decade is a long time. So much can change in that span. In a new segment on the podcast, we are going to compare and contrast a decade from the first day to the last day. It will be the 1990s, how they started compared to how they ended. Music, television, fashion, pop culture trends, technology, and more. We will look at it all.

It is the return of Me v AI Top 5. The sixth installment is a look at some bad movies with great soundtracks. These were films that were critically and/or commercially panned, yet the music was worth listening to. As always, ChatGPT's list is read out by beloved early 2000s malware program Bonzi Buddy.

There is, as always, a brand-new This Week In History and Time Capsule featuring the life and legacy of wrestling legend Andre the Giant.

In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 237: Who Was Max Headroom?, the We Are the World Song, Biggest 70s Sports Stars(3-25-2026)

Watch my acting debut film for free, Cape Cod Cthulhu!

Who in the world was Max Headroom? The legacy of the We Are the World charity song. Some of the biggest sports stars of the 1970s.

Episode 237 rolls the weird, raucous, and wholesome bits of pop culture into one show.

We Are the World was a massive undertaking more than 40 years ago. It was a humanitarian crisis taken on by many of the biggest names in music. The song and album sold millions and brought in millions. What is the story behind it?

From 20 minutes in the future came an 80s icon that was also head-scratchingly odd. Max Headroom was a fictional character, company spokesman, and a symbol of the future. Glitchy, pitch-changing, and downright weird at times, you'll get the full story behind the character.

Kids of the 1970s did you have any posters of these people on your walls? The new Top 5 looks at the biggest sports stars of the 70s. Who were the names that dominated the headlines?

There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the first modern shopping mall.

In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 215: 2001 The Year In Pop Culture(10-8-2025)

*Donate on GoFundMe to help me direct my first short film!*

There is no space odyssey to be found in this 2001!

Episode 215 features all things pop culture from the year 1984. Television, music, weird news stories, and more!

Set your TiVo because we're diving deep into all things television in 2001. New hit shows like 24, returning juggernauts like Friends, and the dawning of the reality TV revolution with Survivor. There are also some fails like the XFL, as well as memorable commercials.

Find a safe website to legally download MP3s because we are going to look at music in 2001. The arrival of iTunes, fails by music legends like Mariah Carey, new stars on the rise like Alicia Keys, and the never-ending battle between pop, rock, and hip-hop. It's the start of the digital revolution.

The Top 5 is filled with weird and funny news stories from 2001 that might be the wildest ones yet. One man goes postal in an odd way, another man really loves his dog, and who would have thought McDonald's Monopoly game was rigged?

There is, of course, a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around Barry Bonds breaking the single-season home run record in Major League Baseball.

This entire episode is a celebration of the birthday of my niece Emma. I hope that you enjoy it!
