The battle between Hair Metal and Grunge. The effect of Garfield on my childhood. Some passing fads of the 1960s.

Episode 190 is filled with fun old school nostalgia to help you feel young again, briefly.

It starts with a look at the rise and pop culture relevance of Garfield the cat. From his humble beginnings as a fat, lazy orange cat in a comic strip to television, movies, and gobs of merch, Garfield has been making childhoods, including mine, better since 1978.

We go way back in the day to look at a clash of styles. The battle for supremacy between hair metal and grunge music. One dominated the late 80s with screeching arena rock and unique looks. The other burst onto the scene in the early 90s, unpolished and raw. Which one won?

A brand new Top 5 will showcase some 1960s passing fads. These things were briefly popular and ultimately flamed out. Clothing, hair styles, toys, odd inventions, they're all here, and a few were directly impacted by The Beatles.

There is new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the last time Halley's Comet passed by the Earth.
