It's been a while since they've done it, so Mike and Joe dump out a few bags of the hundreds of letters they get each month and dive into some "Listener Mail". Topics include, but are in no way limited to; Ultraman fighting a couple of other guys, nostalgic fashion, lunchboxes, and whether or not they plan on including the 90s into any upcoming shows. And don't forget your climbing gear for a trek to the summit of Mt. Retromore and the top four picks from each on the subject of newspaper comic strip characters! Thrills, chills, and spills - this one has it all!

This episode Karl and Tonya discuss various arts and crafts and fun fads from the past and the present. Wood burning kits, cross stitching, doll making, action figure customs, painting, and more.

Plus, the new Iron Man Marvel legends action figure, and much more! Retro pop culture, fun, and more from WhenItWasCool.com

On this retro review, Karl from WhenItWasCool.com takes a look back at the popular 1965 sitcom Green Acres. A fun show with lots of laughs. Karl also has a personal connection to one of the shows stars. Have fun revisiting a retro television classic.

Joseph and Mike talk about the band Sparks and the recent kaiju brawl Godzilla vs Kong in the opening segment and then it's time to talk about animals and famous TV pets for Mt. Retromore. While there are tons to choose from, two made both Mike and Joseph's list and we're almost willing to bet they'll make yours as well. Finally, while it's still over a week away, the guys celebrate Mother's Day with a discussion about Famous TV moms from the 70s and 80s. Some are traditional, old family values mothers, some are more hip and "with it", and others are... a bit out there, both figuratively and literally. So make sure you wash your face and hands, comb your hair, and sit up straight because it's time for Uphill Both Ways.

Today we look at the Masters of the Universe Origins line of action figures which are about the only action figures you can find on toy shelves any more. These throwback style action figures are proving very popular and we discuss the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe property both old and new and more. I have the power! 

Creeping up on us from out of the darkness... our FOURTH ANNIVERSARY SHOW! Where did this come from? Why, it seems like it was just last episode the guys marked one hundred episodes and now they want to celebrate another anniversary? To do so, they look at schoolyard games for this installment of Mt. Retromore and then to tie into the 4th anniversary they discuss famous and influential quartets from the 70s and 80s. It's 76 minutes of pop culture nostalgia Uphill Both Ways style.

It's finally here! Karl's arch nemesis in life- the Warner Brothers DC Universe movies - have resurrected one of their own from the grave (literally and figuratively as it turns out) as the Justice League returns bigger, better, stronger. I guess. I do agree this one is better than the original cut and Karl and Tonya have watched this redux and break it down for you. There are certainly vast improvements. Still problems. Lots and lots of problems, but this movie isn't nearly as hateable as the others but it is a whopping four hours long.
