The Music of 1986

We’re diving headfirst into the first six months of 1986! Join us as we rewind to January through June and relive the music that made 1986 one of the most memorable years of the decade. It was a time when rock and rap were colliding, metal was still reigning supreme, the Minneapolis funk sound was coming into its own, and pop soundtracks were turning lesser-known bands into superstars! 

We cover juggernaut releases like Janet Jackson’s Control, Peter Gabriel’s So, Van Halen’s 5150, and Metallica’s Master of Puppets, as well as albums by The Bangles, Ozzy, Elvis Costello, Depeche Mode, Judas Priest, Prince, Run D.M.C., and many others, plus soundtracks such as Pretty in Pink, Labyrinth, and Krush Groove.

As always you can follow along and listen to all the music we discuss with our Spotify Playlist for this episode. 

What’s your favorite albums from the first half of 1986? Let us know! Drop us a line at [email protected] or just leave a comment on our socials or whatever podcast platform you’re listening to us.

The post Legends of the DCU Episode 8 (Legacy #447) – Fuel for the Fire appeared first on The ESO Network.

The Mandalorian has been one of the most successful Star Wars series under the Disney era of Star Wars. Telling smaller stories than the Skywalker saga, The Mandalorian is a more character focused story that plays into fan-loyalty to the Mandalorian mythos as well as a devotion to the baby Yoda character, Grogu, created for this series. In this episode we examine The Mandalorian season 3. We discuss the characters and plot for the season and how the overall storyline compares with the prior seasons. We’ll examine how the changes made in The Book of Boba Fett alters this series and whether we think that was was warranted. We’ll also get into the broader Star Wars universe and how this season tries to tie up some loose ends from other media.

Our five-minute controversy this time asks if streaming services should cancel and remove series if they underperform after the initial few months.

This week Anji, Mark, and Juliette join the cast.

Show Notes:
Article about Paramount Plus canceling and removing shows before they have a lot of time.

Flopcast episode 732! Inspired by last week’s Happy Days cast reunion event (which we attended as part of our court-ordered community service), we’re finally taking a deep dive into this classic goofy sitcom of the 70s and 80s. Including: How Happy Days and American Graffiti sort of created each other! The Happy Days pilot episode of Love, American Style! Tom Bosley on Wait Till Your Father Gets Home! The mystery of Chuck Cunningham! The dreaded arrival of Ted McGinley! Those wacky Tuscadero sisters, Pinky and Leather! A visit from The Amazing Randi! Potsie sings “Pump Your Blood”! Ralph Malph vs. Captain America! Fonzie vs. Karate Tom Hanks! Fonzie dates a nun! Joanie dates Steve Trevor! Marcia Brady dates Kaptain Kool! And some other stuff that’s too ridiculous to mention! And yikes, we’re not even done yet. A follow-up episode (exploring all those Happy Days spin-off shows) is coming soon. Meanwhile, to hear this episode, just walk up to any jukebox and give it a good whack. #happydays #fonzie #potsie #eso #esonetwork #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast
