Paws Rewind

Speaker, comedian, and social instigator, Shannan Paul, joins my new co-host Susie and me to travel to a galaxy far, far away. That's right -- it's a very special Star Wars episode, including Wookie-riffic gab about the strange-but-true Star Wars holiday special. You won't want to miss that, plus the pop quiz, and new addition of Rad Libs, the Paws Rewind take on the fill-in-the-blank classic goodness that is Mad Libs. Plus, cats!

Shannan's Star Wars geekery in action:

 

 

We have a new format! I welcome the hysterical Susie Shubert as my new co-host. You're in for a big, weird treat, folks! Thanks to everyone who completed the surveys that led to the fun new changes to Paws Rewind. Don't worry -- we'll still feature totally awesome 70s and 80s pop culture and cats (plus other pets from time to time). Every other week, we'll welcome a special guest to the show, and you'll get Susie and me on opposite weeks!

This week, we dive into a new regular feature, "News of the Weird, circa 70s/80s." In this episode, the weird news involves nail polish and and a mystery man. Then, we roll into the movie that inspired the Razzie Awards, Xanadu, which is a total feast for the senses! And yes, we have opinions. And you don't want to miss the pet segment and Susie's introduction to manifesting your badassery.

Guest: Julie Reifers --

Actress Julie Reifers and I join the castaways of Gilligan's Island and wonder why Ginger boarded a three-hour cruise with a wardrobe full of sequined gowns and makeup. Plus, we learn how the professor ended up on the Minnow. Plus-plus, oodles of other retro goodness ... and cats!

Guest: Amy Schoofs-Rahne --

This week, we dive into the cult British sitcom, The Young Ones -- vegetable rights and peace! Then we agree The Muppet Show was pretty much perfect and Janice from the band would have been the ideal girlfriend for Neil from The Young Ones. And what would an episode be without CATS?

Guest: Katy Herman --

The woman behind Texts from Mittens' Drunk Patty pics is back on Paws Rewind!  Katy Herman and I travel back to 1984 to visit the John Hughes classic Sixteen Candles, and agree Sam Baker's hat inspired us AND Jake Ryan was a total fox. Then we compare notes on our own personal fashion statements in the '80s. Also ... cats!

Guest: Chris Rennie --

Chris Rennie, a longtime Queen trivia geek and fan, offers his thoughts on the Bohemian Rhapsody movie and details "that time he met Brian May." Then we reveal how ping pong kicked our butts, and how we need to be in better shape next time we play. Additionally, Chris and I give an update on the Janet-Phoebe feline situation in our home.

Guest: Tazy Phillipz

Tazy Phillipz, host of the long-running radio show Ska Parade, and I chat about classic ska bands, the next wave of ska, and his connection with No Doubt. Then I confess my annoyance with Looney Tunes' Roadrunner and we marvel over the never-ending supply of Acme products. And you don't want to miss stories about the ska cats!

Guest: Linda Banning --

Jewelry artist Linda Banning and I discuss her crush on Peter Brady, the burned hole underneath Tiger's doghouse, and the never-seen Brady toilets. Then we recall the glory days of drive-in movies and somehow devolve into talk of Pee Wee Herman's notorious run-in with the law at an x-rated theater. Also, cats!

Guest: Susie Shubert --

Susie Shubert, author of The Badass Planner, and Beavis to my Butthead, and I like totally gab about the 80s rom-com, Valley Girl. Then, Susie shares her undying love of Chachi and other heart throbs of the day. And you don't want to miss (or maybe you do) Susie's description of the mythical "brown note." Oh, and a sprinkling of cats!

Guest: John Morson --

Our Hollywood Squares game is strong on this one. Johnny and I recall the episodes of the classic 70s game show (were there really any other episodes?), and agree Paul Lynde was the best (and sassiest) center square ever. Then he talks about his childhood meeting with bottom-left square, George Gobel. Oh, and then there was that time in the mid-90s when Johnny got that phone call that invited him to have drinks with The Cure! Plus, there's cat talk involving my guest's kitty boy, Mr. Patrick Swayze. Listen in!
