  • Vice Versa (w/ Tim and Nicholas)
    What’s up, dudes? Body swap films were huge back in the day. Did you know there’s even one set at Christmas starring Fred Svage and Judge Reinhold? Tim Williams from 80’s Flick Flashback and Nicholas Pepin of Pop Culture Roulette did, and they’re with me to talk about “Vice Versa!”Upon returning from a buying trip abroad for the department store where he works, divorced executive Marshall finds that he is in possession of a strange ornamental skull. He is looking after his 11-year-old son Charlie for a few days. The skull has special powers, and when Marshall and Charlie simultaneously wish they were each other's age, they switch bodies. Now Charlie must go to work, and Marshall must go to school. Charlie must also deal with Marshall's girlfriend Sam. Furthermore, a smuggling duo is in pursuit of the skull. Can the father/son combo switch back before the smugglers get to them? Will they save the day? Eventually, yes they will. Also, it’s a bit creepy that Charlie has kissed his dad’s girlfriend.Ancient mystical artifact? Check. Bumbling antagonists? Of course. Impromptu proposal? Only if your spirit is in your dad’s body! So grab your magic skull, say, “I wish,” and jam out to this episode on “Vice Versa!”80’s Flick FlashbackFB: @80’s Flick Flashback podcastTwitter: @80_podcastIG: @80sflickflashbackPop Culture RouletteFB: @PopCultureRouletteTwitter: @popcultrouletteIG: @popcultrouletteGive us a buzz!

  • A Chipmunk Christmas (w/ Jeff and Jeremy)
    What’s up, dudes? Alvin, Simon…Theodore! Yes, it’s the Dave Seville (Ross Bagdasarian) musical rodent creation! Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa are with me to dig into the 1981 special  “A Chipmunk Christmas!” Swept up in the Christmas spirit, Alvin gives away his cherished harmonica to a sick little boy. Meanwhile, Dave has booked Alvin to perform a harmonica solo at Carnegie Hall. Alvin keeps the loss of his harmonica a secret from Dave, and with the help of Simon and Theodore, he scrambles to earn enough money to buy another harmonica in time for his Carnegie Hall debut. Unfortunately, Dave mistakes his entrepreneurial endeavors for greed. Don’t worry, though: Mrs. Claus buys Alvin the harmonica and the concert goes on as scheduled, with Dave discovering his true motivations.Along the way you'll hear the Chipmunks getting ready for the big night, singing their own comical versions of holiday favorites like "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls", and their famous "Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)". This heartwarming story, brimming with joyful music, makes "A Chipmunk Christmas" a great way to celebrate the holidays. Oh, and there was a soundtrack album released as well.
