20th Century Pop! is a podcast that tries to understand the present by living in the past. Each week hosts Bob and Tim take a sociological look at the pop culture of the '80s and '90s. Its a ruining of their childhood that hopefully explains how they became adults.
BINGE AND PODCAST: “Stranded at the airport, branded a yule.” (1986-1992) Who’s up for getting snowed in with some of their favorite sitcom characters? And the cast of Wings. This week, Bob and Tim are trying to get home for Holiday episodes of shows that include Full House, A Different World and The Golden Girls. And with all that you can expect some spontaneous caroling, seasonal cynicism and at least one heartfelt monologue on the magic of Christmas. Also … the cast of Wings.

00:24:48 SPOILER’S GREETINGS - seasonal spirit or selfish spectacle?

00:48:57 STOP! OR MY CLAUS WILL SHOOT - and the holidays are about family or something
