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.
ORIGIN STORIES: "Rock the Kobayashi Maru." (1982) Here's some 'ting to put in your ear as Tim welcomes video editor Jason Smith to talk about his life-long hero, Captain Kirk, his favorite film, The Wrath Of Khan and how hiding out in a theater lobby course-directed his entire life. Its a run-on sentence that works better as an episode as they discuss the greatest movie sequel of all time that isn't the Empire Strikes Back. It'll be a warp factor FUN!
