The Radkast

This week, we continue on with March-ial Arts Month and talk a film that has become one of our new favorites! Brandon Lee is back and this time he plays college Art Student Jake Lo. Haunted by a past experience, Jake is jaded towards most causes, and intends to keep a low profile. However, once he finds himself accidentally on the radar of a desperate Chicago mob boss, and in the crossfire of a dangerous drug trade, he's left running for his life. After being double crossed by the FBI agents out to protect him, It'll take the help of a gruff Chicago cop, his intelligence officer, and Jake's own ass-kicking martial arts skills to clear his name, and bring the drug lords to justice!

This week, we're back at it with another entry in March-ial Arts Month! Mr. Miyagi is back to impart his wisdom on another troubled teen, only this time, it's a girl named Julie. After the death of her parents, Julie has been nothing but rebellious towards her Grandma, and has continuously been in trouble at school, even landing on the radar of the school's paramilitary watchdog group, and their psycho leaders. Julie's only solace is the time she spends with an injured hawk she found on school grounds, and secretly keeps on the roof of the school. After Mr. Miyagi intervenes in Julie's life, the once resistant Julie lets her guard down, and heads Miyagi's wisdom and learns how to cope with her anger, find inner peace, and pull out inner strength.

This week, we KICK off this year's March-ial Arts Month! Dolph Lundgren is a California cop who had been raised in Japan. The half Chinese half white playing half Japanese half white Brandon Lee, is his new partner. The two are on the case of Yoshida, a dangerous criminal now running drugs through a brewery in Little Tokyo. The first time the police team find themselves in front of Yoshida, Dolph Lundgren notices the tattoo on the kingpin's chest, and his memory is triggered to when Yoshida killed Dolph's parents. Now a mission to put Yoshida behind bars, becomes a mission for revenge.

This week on the show, it's another look at a year from the 80's! On the latest edition of this Decade Retrospective, Steven flies solo and talks the year Rambo drew first blood, The Hoff started teaming with a talk car, and Michael Jackson was about to shake the foundations of music! All those things, plus more of the notable events of the world, Music, Movie, Television and Sports that happened in 1982, this week on the Radkast!

This week, we continue in our latest decade retrospective, and discuss another year in the 1980's! Our Mom is back to help us talk about an album that made a star out of one of her favorite artists, the magic of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and what seemed to be the season for assassination attempts. All those things, plus so much more from the Movies, Music, TV, Sports, and World Events that happened in the year 1981, this week on the Radkast!

Finally! After an unplanned absence for the last month, the Radkast is back on the air! This week, we christen a new laptop and hit the ground running with another edition of the Six Mix. We were in Decatur for this session to help our dear dear friend Jeff Wright celebrate his own personal milestone, and it just so happened, we had another few milestones to commerate with him! So we talked about his not-so-law abiding driving experiences, the closest we'll get to a true D&D video game, and the three of us look back lovingly at the history of our friendship.

This week on the show, the Decade Retrospective is back! We've gone through both the 90's and 2000's, and now it's time for us to talk that all important decade, the 1980's! Although we have great love and affection for this time in history, we barely missed it by only a few years. So because of that, we called on our Mom to get her memories and first hand accounts of the first year of what would become a decade of decadence!

This week on the show, we ring in the new year by celebrating a very special guest! 2024 kicks off with a Six Mix where we welcome Dave Little back to the show for his fifth appearance, thus earning his spot into the Radkast 5-Timers Club! Dave takes on the questions and we gush over our experiences as St. Louis Mills Mall, Matt tells us of the Greek Milky Way myth, and we talk the transcendent relatability of the late 80's/Early 90's period sitcom, The Wonder Years. All those things, and so much more, this week on the Radkast!

This week, we cap off 2023 with our new favorite series, The Six Mix! On this edition, long time friend and first time guest Nik Sargent joins us to talk about a holiday called Dyngus Day, a film whose conclusion involved a murderous bus, and we talk how our nostalgia can center us. All those things and so much more, this week on the final Radkast of 2023!

This week, we re-visit a subject we dedicated a whole month to in May! We dip back in to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and a Christmas Special made to showcase everyone's favorite manic side character, Alpha 5! The Rangers are out helping Santa, and Alpha feels alone on Christmas. So Zordon lifts Alpha's spirits by kidnapping over a dozen children, transporting them to the Command Center, and encouraging them to sing Christmas Carols with Alpha! We also discuss what aliens think of Jesus, we ask where exactly do the children go after leaving the Comman Center, and Dr. Phil makes a surprise guest appearance in this straight-to-video special that proved that not all MMPR media was a hit.
