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.
UNSOLICITED COMMENTARY: “Deck Grayskull with boughs of Hordak” (1985) Ever wonder how a monotheistic holiday might play out on a planet consisting of demons, sorcery and ... well ... clear-cut morality plays? Tim did, which is why he’s talking through the entirety of the He-Man And She-ra Christmas Special. So click the LINK and synch what he thinks when seasonally affected cheer comes to Eternia.
