Episode 165: The Lost Boys If you want to get teenage asses in seats for a vampire movie...you can't be busting out your grandad's Dracula. No, you need sex appeal, dammit. Mullets, Aquanet, motorcycles, single ear rings, oiled up sexy sax men...THAT'S how you make a vampire movie 80's style! Join us as we close out Halloween Month with 1987's The Lost Boys http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast
Episode 164: Stephen King's IT (1990) Stephen King is crazy, and if cocaine can make a man do crazy things...what the hell do you think a coked up Stephen King is going to do? Probably write a book about an interdimensional Eldritch horror whose enemy is a giant space turtle that vomited the universe, then the horror winds up on earth where it eats children until a group of kids try to stop it, then have a child orgy, only to realize 30 years later they have to kill it once and for all. Perfect fodder for a prime time miniseries on ABC, yea? Join us for a revisit of the 1990 miniseries based on Stephen King's IT, and enjoy our discussion regarding the current state of the franchise. http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast
Episode 163: Inhumanoids Mutations and mutilations...body horror in spades... even some innuendos to boot. Sounds like the PERFECT recipe for a Saturday Morning cartoon, yea? Join us for a story of what happens when creators basically have no supervision and make a shit show of a horror cartoon aimed at children. But hey, the toys were cool! Join us for our Revisit of Inhumanoids! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast
Episode 162: Dungeons & Dragons Won't someone PLEASE think of the children?! Dungeons & Dragons the GAME proved incredibly popular...but with that popularity also came controversy. Allegations of dark forces and the corruption of America's youth gripped the nation, this game was accused of being a gateway to Satan himself. So why not make a cartoon about it? Come kick off the spooky season as we revisit Dungeons & Dragons! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast
Episode 161: Barbie and The Rockers What if I told you Mattel had that DAWG in them? Since 1959, Mattel's Barbie has shaped pop culture, as well as the imaginations, hopes, and dreams of little girls for decades. But in 1985, Hasbro took a shot at the queen with Jem and The Holograms, and Mattel wasn't having it at all. This battle of the brands swiftly turned into a battle of the bands as Mattel swiftly introduced Barbie and the Rockers, and the stories behind the scenes plays out like VH1's Behind the Music. Join us, and very special guests...our friends and Yesterdaze House band...THE FANTASTIC PLASTICS as we look back at Barbie and The Rockers! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast
Episode 160: Heathcliff He's the other orange animated tabby that originated in comics, but preceded his more popular contemporary by five years! Voiced by Mel Blanc, two times, this kitty managed to be animated twice, but only one had a bangin' theme song. Join us as we look back at Heathcliff. And you better believe we are talking about Cleo from Cats & Co. http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast
