Finally...... the Retro Renegades have come back... to your earholes. We only make excuses for the first 5 minutes or so, then we dive right into some of the fashionable styles of the 80s, and we talk about the K-Mart versions that we actually wore. After a few commercials we get grungy with the 90s. From Legoon shorts to Air Jordans to Starter jackets, Members Only, and any 80s fashion report worth it's salt has to mention parachute pants. We touch on it all, along with a bunch of unrelated crap too..... hope you all dig it. Thank you for listening.

It's been a rough few weeks in the music world. There were several iconic musicians that have passed away lately, so we thought we'd share some memories of those who have passed. We start out paying tribute to Joey Jordison of Slipknot and Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, then we dive into others who are no longer with us... lots of Pantera, Motorhead, GWAR and some surprise hip hop talk sprinkled in. In the end, we decide it's a good idea to just say remember those who are gone, appreciate those who are still with us, and take care of yourself... and each other.

We tried to stay on topic, we really did. Our goal was to discuss the acting career of Rowdy Roddy Piper, so we spent the first hour talking about everything he did except act. Give us a break, he's one of our favorite wrestlers ever. We eventually get around to talking about his films, and get some very controversial opinions in the process. The moral of this story is Roddy Piper is the man, and you should just put the damn glasses on.

In the mid 80s a new concept in women's wrestling stormed onto the scene and made a lasting impact. No longer were the nameless women's matches used as an added attraction on par with Terrible Ted the wrestling bear, G.L.O.W. developed a program that focused on characters and personality and storytelling. As the first American promotion that had a television show that featured only women wrestling, it paved the way for decades to come and the G.L.O.W. girls were trailblazers that smashed boundaries. 

Listen in as Cory and Mikey share some of their early memories of watching G.L.O.W. and then get the stories first had from the original G.L.O.W. girl (that's O.G.G.) "Hollywood" Jeanne Basone. We talk history, we talk behind the scenes, we talk horror movies and hair bands and soap making... it's an amazing chat that you will not want to miss!

Snacks.... we love 'em! Some favorites have stood the test of time, but so often our favorites are gone forever.... until they come back. This week we discuss those sweet treats that we loved, and a few that were horrible. The good, the bad, and the crystal clear... we cover them all here. Take your tastebuds on a trip down memory lane with the Retro Renegades.

He's mighty, he's powerful, and he's one of Cory's favorite people in.....well, the universe. He's He-Man and we're talking about him this week on The Power Hour. Cory breaks out his vast Eternian knowledge to entertain and inform us about all things Masters of the Universe. We talk about the history of the toy line, how the cartoon came to be, our favorite characters, and how a motion picture can be awesome and crap all at the same time. Raise your sword and take the pledge to Grayskull with the Retro Renegades..... we have the power!!

It's no secret that we love our horror films, but our favorite sub-genre of horror would have to be zombies. Zombies are actually how Mikey and Cory met, but that's a story for another time. This week we give our individual top five zombie flicks from the 80s and 90s and have some behind the scenes talk about the movies that we grew up on. We've got brains, voodoo, Deadites, rat monkeys and more this week right here on the Retro Renegades Pop Culture Power Hour.

Sometimes the best ideas are only the best until something better comes along. This episode is a tribute to just such things. This week we are discussing toys that for whatever reason have been forgotten in time. Perhaps there were technological advances, perhaps the trends were moving along too fast and they got left behind, or perhaps they just sucked and needed to be taken out in the desert and buried (We're looking at you Atari). In whatever case, join us as we remember Monchichi, Popples, Wuzzles, Rock Lords, the Power Glove and more this week on the Power Hour.

Sometimes things just aren't quite as we remember them... it could be poor recall or it could be something bigger. In this episode we discuss conspiracies, hoaxes, urban legends and The Mandela Effect. Is it possible that things just changed or does our collective memory just suck? You be the judge.... hurry up and listen before something happens and this episode ceases to exist...

Video arcades always created a unique social environment with players of all ages and walks of life bonding over their common love of the flickering screens. In 1987 a new element was introduced that started a shift in the types of interaction that players would have. The multi button fighting game allowed players to challenge others head to head and started to take over the turn based video games of the day. In this episode we talk about all the fighting games that we played and spend extra time talking about the big two, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. We discuss in great detail just how big of a train wreck the Street Fighter movie starring Van Damme actually was. All this and so much more right here on this episode of Retro Renegades Pop Culture Power Hour, now with even more Gene Simmons! (thanks Rex!)
