Karl and Tonya return with the flagship When It Was Cool Podcast to discuss nostalgia and retro fun. Tonya has been helping sort out her grandmother's estate and has found some really nostalgic old items there including a time capsule of her cousin's old school yearbooks which are rocking some late 1980s and early 1990s fun. Plus, we revisit our own school days and wonder if certain things still exist. It's fun walk down times past on your source for retro pop culture - WhenItWasCool.com

The first Boston album spawned hit after hit despite Boston being only a marginally real band. No, seriously, the story of Boston is strange. The backstory of the song Rock and Roll Band is a complete fiction. However, Brad Delp was a real person and an incredible vocalist. Sadly, his life took a downward spiral which ultimately ended in suicide. This is that story.

I've got a retro TV review for you today. The famous episode of I Love Lucy where Lucy tries to pass herself off as Superman at her kid's birthday party only to, predictably, mess things up. But the real Superman (George Reeves) swoops in to  save the day. A really fun and iconic sitcom episode from the classic TV era. Streaming on the Roku app.

Join The Desert Rat today as we patrol the city streets on horseback with the iconic Detective McCloud! I hope your roping skills are up to par!

Stop Killing Each Other!

In the 1970s, Marvel tried to ride the sucess of the Incredible Hulk TV series by adding a live-action Captain America show as well. Two TV specials aired. We have previously reviewed the first one and today we look back at the second and final one- Captain America II - Death Too Soon. While these specials made considerable changes to Captain America's character, he was still recognizable enough, and the two specials are probably better than you remember.

The new Star Wars spin-off series from Disney Plus was a rollercoaster ride that has fans split. I too, as you will hear, had significant problems with this series through-out. However, I thought they brilliantly pulled it together in the end. This is a review show so there are SPOILERS and I do mean significant spoilers so if that's a problem for you come back later. This is an episode-by-episode review, so enjoy.
