JediShua and shazbazzar seize the opportunity presented by Coca-Cola and Stranger Things to revisit the taste of 1985 by sampling a can of New Coke so you don’t have to. Check out the results!

From Kermit to Karate Kid and from a cow costume to the Caped Crusader, four films from this week 30, 35, and 40 years ago hit the theater of memories on TechnoRetro Dads.

JediShua and shazbazzar remember The Muppet Movie (1979), Top Secret! (1984), The Karate Kid (1984), and Batman (1989) in the theater of their minds and realize their impact on their youth and beyond.

Celebrate Father’s Day with your TechnoRetro Dads — in person, cartoons, and/or movies.

JediShua and shazbazzar prepare for Father’s Day by looking back at Dads from the ‘70s and ‘80s (and the ‘90s and 2000s, too) who made a lasting impression on them and their own kids.

Cute.
 Clever.
 Mischievous.
 Intelligent.
 Dangerous.

Gremlins and Ghostbusters both turn 35 this week, but shazbazzar and JediShua spend more time this week on the former than the latter. These two “G” movies may have gotten an entirely different rating if they had released just a few months later.

Before the events of Raiders of the Last Ark, was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (35 years ago). After Raiders, there was the Last Crusade (30 years ago). JediShua and shazbazzar talk Indy movies and more as we look back to 1989 and 1984.

Tim Conway lit up screens and lifted spirits as he played the lovable fool for audiences and co-stars alike on television (The Carol Burnett Show, The Tonight Show), at the theater (The Apple Dumpling Gang), and even in cartoons (The New Scooby-Doo Movies). Although he's no longer with us, his antics will keep us laughing for many years to come.

In this bonus length (and late, we know) episode, shazbazzar and JediShua share their memories about Peter Mayhew and his alter ego Chewbacca in this tribute to the big man with a bigger heart.

FLASHBACK to earlier episodes of TechnoRetro Dads as shazbazzar and JediShua spend 77 minutes talking Dungeons & Dragons with references to the game, Michael Witwer's Empire of Imagination, and the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon from the '80s.

Blondie finally reached the top on American Top 40 this week in 1979 with "Heart of Glass". Ten years later, we were all scared out of our wits when the blonde zombie toddler Gage etched his visage in our mind's eye in Pet Sematary.

Star Wars Celebration Chicago 2019 highlights with Jeremiah "JediKermmit" Shipman, Sheldon "The Cereal Connoisseur" Norton, and Chase "Gaming Aficionado" Norton.
