20th Century Popcast 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.
UNSOLICITED COMMENTARY: "Century Boulevard? We hate it!" (1991) Tim is no fan of the West Coast. Yet its the source of so many films he's watched, specifically his favorite film of all time, L.A. Story. So today he's examining how a travelogue of his least favorite locale managed such a massive impact on his teenage youth.
