Lock your doors, pull down the window shades, and huddle close together as it's time for the first of two Halloween-themed episodes! In this episode Joseph and Mike talk about the "unholy trinity" of Universal's classic monsters - Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, and The Wolf-Man - and their lasting visual and thematic impact on pop culture for the past nearly 100 years. Movies other than the Universal ones from the 30s and 40s, cartoons, comic books, and even vinyl recordings have all been stamped by the portrayals of the creatures by Karloff, Lugosi, and Chaney, Jr. There's also the SLP VHS Dub Tape Challenge in which Mike answer's Joseph's challenge - or does he?

The When It Was Cool flagship podcast sails again with two full length retro reviews for you. First, is a fun filled review of a Saturday morning cartoon that ran for two seasons in the early 1980s based on the pop culture phenom video game Pac Man! Then we have a full review, appropriate for October, of The Bride of Frankenstein, a movie considered by many to be the best of the old Universal Monster movies. Plus some talks on the upcoming Rolling Stones concert and much more!

One of our older Patreon shows. WWE WWF owner Vince McMahon tried his hand at another passion of his in the 1990s - professional bodybuilding. He loaded up on gimmicks, and silliness, hired a few celebrity types including Lou Ferrigno and rival wrestling promotion WCW's champion Lex Luger and produced the big flop known as the WBF.

It's almost Halloween season and Mike and Joseph are busy picking out their costumes and decorating the UBW offices with skeletons, Jack O'Lanterns, bats, and all sorts of creepy things they found at the Dollar Store. So rather than skip this week they decided to run an encore of an older episode that sees Joe spell out his mix-tape of songs about sports in the Mix-Tape Challenge and then it's time for the main event as the guys chat about old horror TV shows from the 70s and 80s like "Circle of Fear" and "Tales From the Darkside". It's the perfect episode to get you in the mood for the upcoming Halloween holiday!

The new and improved When It Was Cool flagship podcast returns with Karl and Tonya discussing the pop artist Pink and her incredible singing, songs, and life.

When It Was Cool discusses pop culture, retro pop culture, history, and more! Visit our website at WhenItWasCool.com for more!

The review trilogy comes to a close as Joseph and Mike share their thoughts on six of the movies that aired as part of this year's Genre Blast Film Festival. Were there any stand-outs or stinkers? Is Kringle Time an actual time zone? And what does Vernon Wells have to do with any of this? Before you get the answers to THOSE questions, though, Joe answers the SLP VHS Dub Tape Challenge with the topic of "losing a job". Let's all head to the lobby for some refreshing snacks before the start of the show!
