Join us as we talk about TV game shows past.... we miss a lot but that wasn't really the point of the episode, it just happened that way. We wanted to chat a bit about Double Dare and the copy cat 30 minute shoe commercial Funhouse (those damn cheerleaders...) but the real point of this show was to talk about American Gladiators, and we get there.... eventually. We take a deep dive into the show we all wanted to be on, but realize that there was never a point in either of our lives that we would survive that sort of physicality. We laugh, we sing, we talk about adventures with a coked up hair band member.... all this and more on this episode of Retro Renegades Pop Culture Power Hour!

These days we have cell phones, web cams, video calls, and social media. In days gone by socialization was.... well... different. You went out and made yourself available. You saw whomever you were seen by, however sometimes you could make sure the right person saw you by inviting the right group of friends to the right place at the right time. What happened after that.... well we'll let Moose cover the rest. What comes 'round goes 'round and 'round and 'round. This monthly feature is proudly presented by The Retro Renegades Podcast Network.

Cory is a Ninja Turtle nut... so we spend about 90 minutes listening to him geek out. He gives us unique insight into the origin story as we discuss everything we can think of that pertains to his favorite heros in a half shell. He's forgotten more than we'll ever know, so grab a pizza pie and head on into the sewers with us as we talk Turtles on this episode.

The 80s seemed to be the golden age for many things, and for sure action films were the best. Many a mega star was built during this era, and their larger than life personas were awe inspiring. In this episode we remember some of the pulse pounding, machine gunning, hard hitting movies of the 80s. We also discuss how the fear of a foreign invasion led to one of the greatest films of the 80s, Rocky 4. Join us for the emotional roller coaster of our young lives..... this episode may break you.

There was a phase of the 80s where gross stuff was all the rage. Everything had a slime element to it, farts were funny, stinky shit was cool and gross was in. It was an oddly awesome time to be a boy. It this episode Cory and Mikey look back at when crude and rude ruled the toy isle. Come belch, fart, puke and snot your way through this episode and learn a bit about this bizarre era. It's so fun you might just piss your pants!

As video games became more common in public and home use began to rise, gamers became a cash cow. Listen as Moose remembers the emergence of the arcade industry where lessons were handed out one quarter at a time. Friends were made, feuds were squashed, and lives were changed in The Neon Jungle.

In the early 80s computers took the world by storm. While they weren't quite a staple in every home just yet, schools seemed to embrace them as a new teaching tool. Join the guys as they remember their experiences blasting words, munching numbers and dying of dysentery on the Oregon Trail. Mikey then explains a different sort of education that computers gave him as he tells Cory about discovering Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. Join us as we tell the tale of an adolescent boy playing a raunchy adult video game in this very special coming of age episode of the Pop Culture Power Hour right here on the Retro Renegades Podcast Network.

For over 50 years those meddling kids and their damn dog have been catching crooks and infiltrating smuggling rings, and we have loved every minute. Scoob and the gang introduced generations of kids to monsters, ghosts and ghouls and gave them the idea that horror could be fun. Grab some Scooby snacks and join us for an in depth discussion on all the incarnations of Scooby Doo and hear our memories of one of the most prolific animated series ever. Zoinks!

No other show has spawned so many superstars as Saturday Night Live. Judging by the unpredictable nature of the show, it probably shouldn't have worked, but with that much talent in the room there was no way it was going to fail. As with most things, the original is the best and we dedicate the next couple hours to talking about those early years of this revolutionary program. Join Cory and Mikey as they discuss the Not Ready for Prime Time Players and some of their very special guests. Live from Cory's Basement.... It's the Retro Renegades!
