For every cartoon that we remember fondly, there are dozens more that just didn't hit the mark. The initial topic for this show was to discuss just how shitty some of these ideas were. Only problem is, we sort of fell in love with a couple of the worst ideas.... so we changed gears mid show and discussed a few of our favorite lesser known cartoons. There is a lesson here folks, and when you figure it out please clue us in so we can all learn together.

The 80s gave us horror done right. They had the slashers, they had the thrillers, and they had an abundance of haunted house films. We chat about some of the great ghost tales that hit the big screen in the 80s and 90s, as well as some personal paranormal experiences. After a study in the ebbs and flows of the horror genre from the 80s through the 90s and into the 2000s we finally take a dive into one of our favorite haunted house movies, Th13teen Ghosts. As usual we get derailed several times along the way, but in the end we pay tribute to the film that we feel turned the horror genre around and kick started a new generation of ghost stories. For old school horror fans, there is a pretty deep dive into the films and shenanigans of William Castle that you won't want to miss.

Selling burgers in the 80s must have been easy... all you needed was a catchy song, a memorable catchphrase, and a fun mascot to talk to the kids. In this episode we are talking about all those lovable (and some forgettable) mascots and spokespeople from the fast food empires. Go on a trip with us around Milkshake Mountain, past the French fry bushes, and down the rabbit hole that we stumble into when we are talking about all the ways that fast food was marketed to kids this week on the Retro Renegades Pop Culture Power Hour.

Everyone remembers family game night. Sometimes it was a game that you loved, sometimes it was one that you weren't as fond of, and on those horrible nights.... it was Monopoly. Join us as we remember the games of yesteryear from the wildly popular to the obscure. Remember that weird couple of years when you played games on your VHS? Well we cover that too. We laugh, we sing, we make inappropriate comments... about the only thing we do not do is pass GO, because.... well.....we hate Monopoly.

The  Revenge of the Nerds series was a favorite among the Retro Renegades, but which was better? Cory favors the original for it's raunchy comedy and boundary pushing laughs, while Mikey prefers Nerds in Paradise due to it's familiar feel and scenic setting. Regardless of which side you are on, a viewing of either film will bring back memories of the first time you saw it and is sure to give a laugh or two. Join us as we recap the first two tales in the Nerds saga and give our opinions and learn a fun fact here and there. Just a couple of geeks acting like dorks and talking about nerds this week on The Power Hour.

The open road... backdrop to many a great tale in the realm of Americana. These tales are often celebrated in the public eye via films, television shows, and popular music. The tales told in this episode were not, in fact this very well could be the first public telling of these stories ever. Shrouded in secrecy for decades, you get the exciting, gritty details directly from the horse's.... err...Moose's... mouth. This monthly feature is proudly presented by The Retro Renegades Podcast Network.... and to be safe, you probably shouldn't mention what you hear in this episode to your mother. Ever. 

Nothing beat a nice big bowl of sugary goodness on a Saturday morning back in the day... but what exactly made you select the cereal you consumed? Sometimes it was fruity flavors or marshmallow content, other times it was the prize in the box, but often times it was a catchy jingle that was heard on an entertaining commercial featuring one of many animated mascots that stuck in your head as you headed down aisle 4 in the grocery store. In this episode we discuss some of our favorite breakfast choices and the history and fun facts about the mascots. Follow your nose down the magical rainbow and join us for our cereal show... it's Grrrrrrr-eat! (Cory still has no clue what Quisps are)

In the 80s cool vehicles were everywhere. Films and television shows seemed to feature their mode of transportation as a character, part of the team. It's no wonder that there were so many awesome toy vehicles as well. Join the guys as they remember their favorite cars of TV, film and toys  while forgetting the name of nearly everyone else they talk about. Cruise on down Memory Lane with the Retro Renegades.

Back in the day, things were much simpler. Weekends basically revolved around the video store. Families would gather and watch new releases and friends would hunker down in each other's basements to watch what would become our generation's cult classics, usually unbeknownst to our parents. New releases were an event, old favorites were battled over, and new favorites were discovered on a weekly basis. The video store was the place to be, and then...... Netflix happened. Join us as we discuss the rise and fall of the video store and some of our favorites to rent.... oh and one of us had an epic party. Check it out!
