Katie: 00:00:37

Hello?

Katie: 00:00:37

Hello, I'm Katie.

Katie: 00:00:38

And welcome to retro made your pop culture rewind.

Katie: 00:00:42

I am breaking the rules a little bit today.

Katie: 00:00:44

I'm going to go all the way back to 1979 and I'm flying solo.

Katie: 00:00:49

Due to a scheduling conflict.

Katie: 00:00:51

I need to pivot from the original plant movie.

Katie: 00:00:54

And then I plan to combine two of Patrick Swayze's early roles into one episode.

Katie: 00:01:01

But after watching today's film, I realized that it

Katie: 00:01:04

actually needed its own episode.

Katie: 00:01:07

Before this week, I'd actually never seen it.

Katie: 00:01:10

But we have to talk about Patrick Swayze's first movie role skate town USA.

Katie: 00:01:18

I know, I know you might be tempted to tune out, but I

Katie: 00:01:21

do urge you to stick with me.

Katie: 00:01:22

Yes, it's campy.

Katie: 00:01:24

No, it's not.

Katie: 00:01:25

Well-known.

Katie: 00:01:26

Yes, it's a roller disco musical comedy, but.

Katie: 00:01:30

Patrick's performance is absolutely the reason to tune in.

Katie: 00:01:34

I know I've mentioned Patrick's book in previous episodes of retro made.

Katie: 00:01:38

So today it being the first episode focused on Patrick Swayze and his first

Katie: 00:01:43

role, I do want to point out his book.

Katie: 00:01:45

So.

Katie: 00:01:47

I own it originally got it from the library.

Katie: 00:01:49

And then after I read it, I realized it was so good.

Katie: 00:01:51

I ordered it.

Katie: 00:01:53

So it's called the time of my life.

Katie: 00:01:55

By Patrick Swayze and his wife, Lisa Neami.

Katie: 00:01:59

And I want to showcase this.

Katie: 00:02:02

It is written, I think in a, I think the copyrights 2009, which is also the

Katie: 00:02:08

year, I believe that Patrick passed away.

Katie: 00:02:10

So it was completed, shortly before he passed away.

Katie: 00:02:14

And I'll have little tidbits of the book throughout this season, obviously focused

Katie: 00:02:18

on Patrick so easy, but it really is good, especially if you're a Patrick Swayze fan.

Katie: 00:02:22

I highly recommend you check it out.

Katie: 00:02:24

So I did want to point that out.

Katie: 00:02:26

It's really good.

Katie: 00:02:27

And I know I've mentioned that many times, so.

Katie: 00:02:29

There we go.

Katie: 00:02:30

Okay.

Katie: 00:02:31

Now, one of the things that I wanted to do before we get into our

Katie: 00:02:35

time capsule today and the movie.

Katie: 00:02:37

I have requested feedback in my episodes from listeners and viewers.

Katie: 00:02:42

So I want to showcase some of those, we're going to start with the first

Katie: 00:02:45

episode, big trouble in little China.

Katie: 00:02:46

And there are some YouTube comments that I wanted to point out.

Katie: 00:02:49

The first being from Melinda Davis.

Katie: 00:02:51

She says, love this movie, but it makes more sense if you realize

Katie: 00:02:55

that Kurt was the sidekick.

Katie: 00:02:57

Wang was the actual hero of the movie.

Katie: 00:03:00

Kurt Russell and carpenter did the commentary, uh, on the DVD.

Katie: 00:03:03

And it's really interesting.

Katie: 00:03:05

Melinda, thank you very much for your comment.

Katie: 00:03:08

And next time I watch big trouble in little China.

Katie: 00:03:11

I will be sure to watch it with that commentary on.

Katie: 00:03:13

I bet it is super interesting.

Katie: 00:03:14

So thank you.

Katie: 00:03:16

The next comment we have is from Andreas wall RS.

Katie: 00:03:20

He says, I'll settle this right now.

Katie: 00:03:22

Russell and Swayze looks similar because growing up, I had a

Katie: 00:03:26

man crush on both of them.

Katie: 00:03:29

Thank you so much, Andreas.

Katie: 00:03:30

I'm glad that somebody can see it.

Katie: 00:03:32

Everyone else you have to, you have to try them in.

Katie: 00:03:34

Please.

Katie: 00:03:35

They look alike, very similar.

Katie: 00:03:37

And then he goes on to say, first Russel experience for me was tango

Katie: 00:03:41

in cash, the bad cop, worse cop.

Katie: 00:03:43

, line was funny.

Katie: 00:03:44

First Swayze experience was a television series called north and south, which

Katie: 00:03:49

was really popular in Scandinavia.

Katie: 00:03:52

Great trip down memory lane.

Katie: 00:03:53

Thank you.

Katie: 00:03:53

Katie tombstone is my favorite Russel movie to my cousin and I watched

Katie: 00:03:57

it about a hundred times on VCR.

Katie: 00:03:59

I'm jealous that Ryan got to watch it on the big screen.

Katie: 00:04:03

I'm a huge fan of westerns.

Katie: 00:04:04

So you bet I'm going to tune in to your Western podcast.

Katie: 00:04:08

The Western podcasts that he's referencing is Ryan, my cohost, who I also do

Katie: 00:04:12

one more round with in the future.

Katie: 00:04:14

He's going to be doing a Western podcast.

Katie: 00:04:17

So Andreas is going to be tuning into that.

Katie: 00:04:20

And, I am actually really shocked that north and south.

Katie: 00:04:23

Was popular in Scandinavia, just given that it's a civil war drama, uh, in the

Katie: 00:04:29

United States, but I'm glad to hear it.

Katie: 00:04:31

And yes, we will be covering that later this season.

Katie: 00:04:36

Murdoch's music minute commented.

Katie: 00:04:38

I think I've seen the movie once or twice on TV, and it's really

Katie: 00:04:42

bizarre in an entertaining way.

Katie: 00:04:44

Agreed.

Katie: 00:04:46

He asks, will you do escape from New York to.

Katie: 00:04:49

Oh, and Ryan brought me here by the way.

Katie: 00:04:51

So thanks Ryan for bringing Murdoch's music minute and thank you for

Katie: 00:04:54

commenting and for joining the bond.

Katie: 00:04:56

Murdoch's music minute.

Katie: 00:04:57

Yes., we will absolutely be doing escape from New York.

Katie: 00:05:00

So stay tuned for the rest of season.

Katie: 00:05:03

One focused on our ultimate, every men, Kurt, Russell, and Patrick Swayze.

Katie: 00:05:08

He goes on to say I loved Alf and the Muppet babies,

Katie: 00:05:11

but rewatching it nowadays.

Katie: 00:05:12

Well, most alpha episodes didn't age too.

Katie: 00:05:15

Well.

Katie: 00:05:17

Again, thanks for the comment.

Katie: 00:05:18

And yeah, that does not surprise me a lot of things.

Katie: 00:05:20

Don't age.

Katie: 00:05:20

Well, But,, thank you for commenting about some of the TV shows and cartoons that we

Katie: 00:05:24

brought up in that episode, then Marsha.

Katie: 00:05:28

My mom commented on Facebook.

Katie: 00:05:30

Great.

Katie: 00:05:31

First episode, really enjoyed it.

Katie: 00:05:32

However, Ryan's take on murder.

Katie: 00:05:34

She wrote and Angela Landsbury almost broke my heart.

Katie: 00:05:38

You to have a very contrasting views on several subjects, making this

Katie: 00:05:41

quite interesting to listen to.

Katie: 00:05:43

So Angela Landsbury in.

Katie: 00:05:47

Murder she wrote was one of the top Nielsen rated.

Katie: 00:05:50

TV shows of the time when we covered big trouble in little China.

Katie: 00:05:53

So Ryan was poking fun at it.

Katie: 00:05:55

And I had mentioned on an episode that I recall my mom really liking that show.

Katie: 00:05:59

So she chimed in as well.

Katie: 00:06:00

And then also for those of you who listened to that episode, if you

Katie: 00:06:04

haven't go back and check out the big trouble, little China episode,

Katie: 00:06:06

Uh, where I,, brought up that it was interesting how the eighties have

Katie: 00:06:11

us feeling that truckers back in the day were super hot because, , Jack

Katie: 00:06:15

Burton is a trucker and also we have over the top with, , Sylvester Sloan.

Katie: 00:06:19

Which is cringey to Ryan.

Katie: 00:06:21

He hates it for some reason.

Katie: 00:06:22

So at every opportunity I bring it up that I think it's amazing.

Katie: 00:06:26

In a bad way, but it's amazing.

Katie: 00:06:28

Also semester Sloan, super hot in it.

Katie: 00:06:30

And so both of my sisters backed me up on that front on Facebook.

Katie: 00:06:34

, regarding over the top being terrible, but amazing big shocker.

Katie: 00:06:39

We all grew up lovingly watching that movie.

Katie: 00:06:42

So then, some comments from the tango and cash episode.

Katie: 00:06:46

Andreas will ours.

Katie: 00:06:48

He's commenting about the tripod theory.

Katie: 00:06:50

There's a shower scene, which has amazing in tango and cash.

Katie: 00:06:53

And so there's, there's jokes.

Katie: 00:06:56

So he says regarding the tripod theory.

Katie: 00:06:58

Me and some friends, , had way back.

Katie: 00:07:00

Cash starts off by implying.

Katie: 00:07:02

Tango has a tiny Dick.

Katie: 00:07:04

The Peewee remark, which sets off a bunch of Dick insults back and forth tripod.

Katie: 00:07:10

Implies Tango's equipment is so small.

Katie: 00:07:12

It looks like a third test to call.

Katie: 00:07:15

At least that's the theory we had about that joke.

Katie: 00:07:17

It doesn't really work, but it's the only explanation that sort

Katie: 00:07:20

of fits with the earlier insults.

Katie: 00:07:22

Agreed.

Katie: 00:07:22

We have to go with something and this is as good as any,

Katie: 00:07:24

so thank you so much, Andreas.

Katie: 00:07:26

We'll go with the tripod theory that you bring up.

Katie: 00:07:29

Murdoch's music minute also, comments.

Katie: 00:07:31

For tango and cash on YouTube.

Katie: 00:07:33

It's been a long time since I've watched tango and cash.

Katie: 00:07:36

I had it on VHS taped from TB and quite enjoyed it.

Katie: 00:07:40

I have the impression that this kind of action cinema has run its course.

Katie: 00:07:44

There is stuff around still like fast and furious, but by and large classic

Katie: 00:07:48

action movies or action comedies are not really produced at the moment.

Katie: 00:07:52

The whole idea of tough guys living through absurd, dangerous plots with

Katie: 00:07:57

tons of stunts is out of fashion.

Katie: 00:07:59

Yeah, I think you're right about this.

Katie: 00:08:01

I hope that as with fashion, it finds its way back around at some point.

Katie: 00:08:07

If not, or in the meantime, it's nostalgic for us.

Katie: 00:08:10

It makes it all the more fun because we don't get it now.

Katie: 00:08:12

Thank you for the comment.

Katie: 00:08:13

And then one last comment and this one is from Facebook and it's Stephanie.

Katie: 00:08:17

Who's my sister.

Katie: 00:08:19

She says, I need to rewatch.

Katie: 00:08:21

They are in their prime.

Katie: 00:08:22

Indeed.

Katie: 00:08:23

I had brought up that I think that tango and cash is worth watching just

Katie: 00:08:28

to see these two guys in their prime.

Katie: 00:08:30

And so she agrees as for the music artists.

Katie: 00:08:32

She says, I totally remember that field Collin song that

Katie: 00:08:35

I brought up in that episode.

Katie: 00:08:37

But I was thinking Tiffany or Debbie Gibson or even

Katie: 00:08:39

Madonna from that time period.

Katie: 00:08:41

And I agree.

Katie: 00:08:42

I think they were all hot just maybe didn't make the top 10

Katie: 00:08:46

billboards for that particular week, but thank you for commenting.

Katie: 00:08:49

And I would like to invite everyone else to please continue the conversation.

Katie: 00:08:54

I'm constantly posing questions and, hoping that there are others

Katie: 00:08:58

that have similar thoughts and feelings as me, or if you differ.

Katie: 00:09:01

That's great too.

Katie: 00:09:02

I would love to hear it.

Katie: 00:09:03

So please.

Katie: 00:09:04

Continue the comments.

Katie: 00:09:05

Moving on.

Katie: 00:09:06

Now let's open the time capsule.

Katie: 00:09:08

Shall we.

Katie: 00:09:10

October, 1979.

Katie: 00:09:13

So yours truly.

Katie: 00:09:15

Was not yet born, but many of these shows songs, references

Katie: 00:09:19

are still familiar to me.

Katie: 00:09:21

As we'll get into why that might be in a moment.

Katie: 00:09:24

So according to Nielsen ratings, the popular TV in 1979 in

Katie: 00:09:29

October where three's company.

Katie: 00:09:40

Comma, knock on our door.

Katie: 00:09:43

We're waiting for you.

Katie: 00:09:47

Which obviously, again, this was before my time, but I have very vivid

Katie: 00:09:51

memories of watching three's company all through my childhood and still do.

Katie: 00:09:55

And I think part of why that is, is.

Katie: 00:09:58

There Were TV networks on cable that showed syndicated shows.

Katie: 00:10:02

Nowadays.

Katie: 00:10:03

Obviously I don't have cable anymore.

Katie: 00:10:04

I have digital antennas and a Roku TV.

Katie: 00:10:08

So the ways that I watched these shows now, there's the point to digital

Katie: 00:10:13

version of some, nostalgia channels.

Katie: 00:10:15

For example, cozy TV.

Katie: 00:10:17

Is a NBC's division.

Katie: 00:10:20

So here that's channel 9.2.

Katie: 00:10:22

If you watch that on cable or I happen to have a digital antenna.

Katie: 00:10:25

And, in a similar vein there's me, TV, antenna, TV, bounce, TV, grit,

Katie: 00:10:30

comment, laugh, which is L a F F.

Katie: 00:10:34

Plus all of the Roku classic TV channels, Pluto.

Katie: 00:10:38

, and to be, probably have similar channels for old TV and music as well.

Katie: 00:10:42

So I'm probably missing a time.

Katie: 00:10:44

How are all of you watching these classic gems?

Katie: 00:10:46

Please let me know.

Katie: 00:10:48

Alice was also in the top.

Katie: 00:10:50

Nielsen ratings mash.

Katie: 00:10:54

Which was a huge show back in the day.

Katie: 00:10:56

And I can very vividly recall the theme song coming on.

Katie: 00:11:00

However, I don't think I've actually seen.

Katie: 00:11:02

An entire episode of mash before.

Katie: 00:11:06

I know it's a little before my time.

Katie: 00:11:08

And for some reason I just, I never caught on it feels like when that

Katie: 00:11:12

theme song came on, it was time to, to turn to another channel.

Katie: 00:11:16

Or maybe it was time for me to do homework or something, but I

Katie: 00:11:18

missed out on mash apparently.

Katie: 00:11:20

There was a Dallas.

Katie: 00:11:22

Flo.

Katie: 00:11:24

The Jefferson's I think flow might be.

Katie: 00:11:28

Is that a spin off of the Jeffersons, perhaps I'm unfamiliar with flow, the

Katie: 00:11:32

Dukes of hazard one day at a time.

Katie: 00:11:35

, with Valerie Bertinelli I think there was also somewhat

Katie: 00:11:38

recently, a remake of that show.

Katie: 00:11:41

I don't really remember watching it at the time.

Katie: 00:11:43

All I remember is the, the super guy in the apartment.

Katie: 00:11:48

I'm forgetting his name, but he always had like a white t-shirt rolled up.

Katie: 00:11:53

With a pack of cigarettes, maybe.

Katie: 00:11:55

He was the handyman or the super.

Katie: 00:11:57

At any rate, that's the show I remember him from, I believe.

Katie: 00:12:01

Also, we have Archie Bunker's place.

Katie: 00:12:04

Eight is enough and taxi.

Katie: 00:12:06

So on the taxi front, that's one that I'm just starting to watch

Katie: 00:12:10

actually on one of these other it's me TV or cozy TV or one of those.

Katie: 00:12:14

It probably actually ended before I was born.

Katie: 00:12:18

I can't recall what year that ran through.

Katie: 00:12:21

But there was something about the feel of it that clearly didn't

Katie: 00:12:25

catch my attention as a kid.

Katie: 00:12:26

But now that I'm older,

Katie: 00:12:28

I'm recognizing, there's tons of people in the cast that I really like.

Katie: 00:12:32

So watching those is awesome.

Katie: 00:12:33

Especially Tony Danza from who's the boss.

Katie: 00:12:36

I loved who's the boss.

Katie: 00:12:38

I like Tony Danza.

Katie: 00:12:39

Just generally speaking.

Katie: 00:12:40

So taxi.

Katie: 00:12:42

That kind of rounds out our popular TV of the time in terms

Katie: 00:12:45

of primetime TV, I should say.

Katie: 00:12:48

Let's move on to cartoons.

Katie: 00:12:51

As I'm learning from researching for the show.

Katie: 00:12:55

There were a lot of cartoons, that I'm going to leave out, because it seems

Katie: 00:13:00

like they just threw things at the wall.

Katie: 00:13:01

At this time.

Katie: 00:13:02

There were a lot of very short-lived shows that you might

Katie: 00:13:05

not remember or weren't good enough.

Katie: 00:13:07

So I'm not going to waste our time on those.

Katie: 00:13:09

I'm just going to bring up the ones that are standouts.

Katie: 00:13:11

So again, this is 1979.

Katie: 00:13:14

The new adventures of mighty mouse.

Katie: 00:13:16

Spider woman.

Katie: 00:13:19

Scooby-Doo and scrappy do.

Katie: 00:13:21

On this front, I'm a huge Scooby-Doo fan.

Katie: 00:13:24

Always have been the original show and then all of the,

Katie: 00:13:27

there's some, several spin-offs.

Katie: 00:13:29

And then over the last, I don't know, 10 or 15 years, there's been a resurgence

Katie: 00:13:33

of Scooby-Doo with the live action.

Katie: 00:13:36

Freddy prince junar I think.

Katie: 00:13:38

And Matthew Lillard has shaggy.

Katie: 00:13:40

And probably some newer , cartoons at any rate in these newer renditions

Katie: 00:13:46

scrappy do is made to be super annoying.

Katie: 00:13:49

And there's a running joke.

Katie: 00:13:50

That scrappy dude is super annoying, but I don't actually recall the original

Katie: 00:13:55

scrappy dude being all that annoying.

Katie: 00:13:56

He's just Scooby's nephew.

Katie: 00:13:58

So I remember liking Scooby-Doo and scrappy do.

Katie: 00:14:01

I also recall there being a cousin in one of the shows, maybe it

Katie: 00:14:05

was the original Scooby dumb.

Katie: 00:14:07

Does anyone remember Scooby dumb?

Katie: 00:14:09

And he was dumb.

Katie: 00:14:10

He was a gray.

Katie: 00:14:11

Dog with a, with a sweat band around his head and yeah, just a dimwitted dog.

Katie: 00:14:17

Also I'm a big fan of great Danes, so that, that tracks some Scooby-Doo.

Katie: 00:14:22

And I had mentioned in a previous episode that I wondered where captain caveman

Katie: 00:14:26

was in, in the mix and he's here, I guess he's just an older shows than I recall.

Katie: 00:14:32

So 1979, captain caveman and the teenage girls.

Katie: 00:14:35

Also laugh Olympics.

Katie: 00:14:37

Bugs bunny and the road runner show on all new Papa, our, the new fat

Katie: 00:14:42

Albert show, the Daffy duck show.

Katie: 00:14:45

Fred and Barney meet the Schmoe.

Katie: 00:14:48

Now I love the Flintstones as well.

Katie: 00:14:49

And like I was mentioning, , it seems like at this time,

Katie: 00:14:52

They would take an episode and with a character and just kind of make a

Katie: 00:14:56

spinoff and see whether it landed or not.

Katie: 00:14:59

So that's sort of what I thought this was.

Katie: 00:15:02

I was thinking that the schmooze was that alien.

Katie: 00:15:05

Maybe he was Zazu or something.

Katie: 00:15:06

What was, there was an alien.

Katie: 00:15:08

That they did a few episodes in the Flintstones with, that's not

Katie: 00:15:10

the case when I looked it up.

Katie: 00:15:12

I thought it was that.

Katie: 00:15:13

But it's actually a 90 minute, Saturday morning animated package show.

Katie: 00:15:19

And a spinoff of the original series, the Flinstones produced

Katie: 00:15:22

by Hanna-Barbera, which aired on NBC from December 8th, 1979.

Katie: 00:15:27

To November 15th, 1980.

Katie: 00:15:30

So this clearly was one of those short-lived.

Katie: 00:15:33

But the schmooze.

Katie: 00:15:35

It's just a package show.

Katie: 00:15:36

There's no crossover actually.

Katie: 00:15:37

That was a thing I'm like Heath cliff was that way.

Katie: 00:15:41

Like the first bit was Heath cliff, and then it was kind

Katie: 00:15:43

of the ragamuffin type gang.

Katie: 00:15:46

Do you guys remember these packaged shows like the first

Katie: 00:15:48

15 minutes would be something.

Katie: 00:15:50

Second 15 minutes.

Katie: 00:15:51

It'd be something that's what this was.

Katie: 00:15:53

And so with the schmooze, so the show was a repackaging of old episodes

Katie: 00:15:57

of the new Fred and Barney show.

Katie: 00:15:59

And the things segments originally broadcast as Fred

Katie: 00:16:02

and Barney meet the thing.

Katie: 00:16:05

Combined with episodes of the new schmooze.

Katie: 00:16:08

So it's an entirely different character altogether.

Katie: 00:16:10

Despite the show's title, the segments remained separate and did

Katie: 00:16:13

not cross over with one another.

Katie: 00:16:15

The characters of Fred Flinstone, Barney rubble, the thing, and

Katie: 00:16:18

shmoo were only featured together in brief bumpers between segments.

Katie: 00:16:23

Interesting little.

Katie: 00:16:24

The old trivia there.

Katie: 00:16:26

Oh, and then the final, , cartoon that was stand out from this time is the Jetson's.

Katie: 00:16:31

Also, I think that dog in the Jetsons was also a great Dane.

Katie: 00:16:35

Big big temper, great Danes.

Katie: 00:16:36

They are pretty awesome.

Katie: 00:16:37

Jetson's I'm very familiar with.

Katie: 00:16:41

The concept, the pop culture surrounding it, but I don't think I've seen an

Katie: 00:16:45

entire episode of the Jetson Caesar.

Katie: 00:16:48

Perhaps I should check it out.

Katie: 00:16:50

Okay.

Katie: 00:16:50

Let's move on from TV into music.

Katie: 00:16:53

Because again, we're in 1979.

Katie: 00:16:55

We're not in the eighties and the top 10 billboards for this week.

Katie: 00:17:00

October 19th, 1979.

Katie: 00:17:03

Has a very specific seventies vibe.

Katie: 00:17:07

The number one song was don't stop till you get enough by Michael Jackson

Katie: 00:17:12

rise by herb Albert sad eyes by Robert, John sail on by the Commodores, my

Katie: 00:17:20

Sharona by the knack, which many of you might recall, or maybe even

Katie: 00:17:25

remember more by it became more famous from the movie reality bites for 19.

Katie: 00:17:30

94.

Katie: 00:17:32

Great soundtrack by the way.

Katie: 00:17:34

Number six song of this time was I'll never love this

Katie: 00:17:37

way again by Dionne Warwick.

Katie: 00:17:41

Number seven is pop music and music is spelled M U Z I K by the letter M.

Katie: 00:17:49

Never heard of him.

Katie: 00:17:51

And when I looked it up, it's clearly a one hit wonder.

Katie: 00:17:54

It's not good.

Katie: 00:17:55

It's got this new wave synthy sound to it, which apparently was

Katie: 00:18:00

becoming a thing at this time.

Katie: 00:18:01

There was an era.

Katie: 00:18:03

And many of them were one hit wonders, apparently.

Katie: 00:18:05

So that's what that is.

Katie: 00:18:07

Number eight is dim all the lights by Donna summer.

Katie: 00:18:10

Nine is lonesome loser by the little river band and rounding out the top 10 is after

Katie: 00:18:16

love has gone by earth, wind and fire.

Katie: 00:18:21

Moving on to news and events from October of 1979, Pope John Paul.

Katie: 00:18:27

The second is the first Pope to visit the white house meeting with president

Katie: 00:18:31

Jimmy Carter in Washington, DC.

Katie: 00:18:34

Howard stern begins broadcasting on WC CC in Hartford, Connecticut.

Katie: 00:18:41

Do not recall him having that.

Katie: 00:18:43

He went that far back to 1979.

Katie: 00:18:46

We also have the rock band, Fleetwood Mac getting a star in Hollywood.

Katie: 00:18:50

And the debut of Boston Celtics, rookie, Larry Bird.

Katie: 00:18:54

As well as the debut of the Los Angeles Lakers magic Johnson.

Katie: 00:19:01

Like the first game.

Katie: 00:19:01

I thought it was really cool.

Katie: 00:19:03

It brought back a couple of memories.

Katie: 00:19:05

One of which is that we had a Commodore 64.

Katie: 00:19:08

A game.

Katie: 00:19:10

A basketball game that you played with a joystick.

Katie: 00:19:12

Pretty primitive, but I remember it being super fun.

Katie: 00:19:15

It was an eight inch, floppy disc.

Katie: 00:19:18

There were multiple types of floppy disks with these were the big actual,

Katie: 00:19:21

they were actually flimsy and floppy.

Katie: 00:19:23

That was how we played this game.

Katie: 00:19:25

And the characters were Dr.

Katie: 00:19:27

J.

Katie: 00:19:29

AKA Julius Irving and Larry Bird.

Katie: 00:19:32

Not to be confused by magic Johnson.

Katie: 00:19:35

Who is Irvin Johnson spelled E a R B I N I think that's kind of confusing.

Katie: 00:19:41

So I wanted to point that out.

Katie: 00:19:43

And then those two, , Larry Bird and magic Johnson also.

Katie: 00:19:47

It might seem familiar to you.

Katie: 00:19:49

If you haven't seen it, I would recommend watching.

Katie: 00:19:52

Because I have found it fun to see these two in this era from the

Katie: 00:19:55

recent HBO show called the winning time, the rise of the Lakers dynasty.

Katie: 00:20:01

It's quite good, actually.

Katie: 00:20:02

Ensemble, casting foods, John C.

Katie: 00:20:04

Riley, who I, I like him in anything.

Katie: 00:20:07

He's so good.

Katie: 00:20:08

, Jason Clark, Adrian Brody, , Quincy, Isaiah, Sally field, and Jason Segal.

Katie: 00:20:14

Among many others.

Katie: 00:20:15

So check that out.

Katie: 00:20:16

If you haven't seen it's fun.

Katie: 00:20:18

And then, , we have rain Gretzky scoring his first NHL goal.

Katie: 00:20:22

And October of 1979, mother Teresa of Calcutta was

Katie: 00:20:25

awarded the Nobel peace prize.

Katie: 00:20:28

I too remember hearing about mother Teresa a lot growing up.

Katie: 00:20:32

So then very different from that we have Bob Dylan making his , only appearance.

Katie: 00:20:37

On Saturday night live.

Katie: 00:20:39

And there was apparently.

Katie: 00:20:40

A ton of nuclear testing.

Katie: 00:20:43

At this time, both by the USSR and USA.

Katie: 00:20:47

So this is like , cold war era.

Katie: 00:20:50

Kind of crazy that I was reading about a lot of nuclear testing.

Katie: 00:20:54

Okay, so that sets the stage.

Katie: 00:20:55

We are October, 1979.

Katie: 00:20:58

What a time.

Katie: 00:21:00

Let's now get into skate town USA.

Katie: 00:21:07

The release date, as I had mentioned.

Katie: 00:21:10

Was October 19th, 1979.

Katie: 00:21:12

I was ready to PG.

Katie: 00:21:14

And the I M D B rating is a 4.8 of 10.

Katie: 00:21:19

Which.

Katie: 00:21:20

Yeah.

Katie: 00:21:20

I mean, I'm not surprised by that.

Katie: 00:21:22

The director is not well-known it's William A.

Katie: 00:21:25

Levy.

Katie: 00:21:27

Who was also a writer.

Katie: 00:21:28

You may know the name, Nick castle.

Katie: 00:21:31

Who was the shape of Michael Myers in Halloween movies.

Katie: 00:21:35

He also wrote, escape from New York and the character of snake

Katie: 00:21:39

plus skin, which is a nice little crossover with our other ultimate.

Katie: 00:21:43

Every man.

Katie: 00:21:44

Kurt Russell.

Katie: 00:21:44

Then we also have, , Lauren Dreyfus, who is Richard's older brother

Katie: 00:21:48

as a writer on skate town USA.

Katie: 00:21:50

So that's not too shabby.

Katie: 00:21:53

And then you're going to be blown away by the cast.

Katie: 00:21:54

You got to watch this movie, we go through the cast credits and then we get

Katie: 00:21:58

an introducing Patrick Swayze as ACE.

Katie: 00:22:02

And he is very clearly the standard.

Katie: 00:22:05

This movie.

Katie: 00:22:06

He plays ACE, the leader of the west side wheelers skate gang.

Katie: 00:22:11

Yup.

Katie: 00:22:12

Then we have Greg Bradford who plays Stan.

Katie: 00:22:15

And Stan is the movie's protagonist and he's pretty blonde guy from the valley.

Katie: 00:22:22

Comedian flip Wilson plays Harvey, the roller rink skating rink slash club owner.

Katie: 00:22:29

Scott Bayeux.

Katie: 00:22:32

Everyone knows from, for me, he's the most well known from Charles in charge,

Katie: 00:22:36

but he's been in a lot of other things.

Katie: 00:22:37

You all know who Scott bio is?

Katie: 00:22:39

He plays Richie Stan's manager and friend.

Katie: 00:22:43

Yes.

Katie: 00:22:43

I said manager.

Katie: 00:22:45

We're in a world where.

Katie: 00:22:47

There's a skating competition.

Katie: 00:22:49

And one of the competitors.

Katie: 00:22:52

In a skating competition has a manager.

Katie: 00:22:54

And then we get Marsha Brady herself in this Maureen McCormick.

Katie: 00:22:59

Who plays Susan Stan sister.

Katie: 00:23:02

Additionally, we have Ron Pelullo.

Katie: 00:23:04

Hello, who plays?

Katie: 00:23:05

Frankie ACEs skate, gangs.

Katie: 00:23:08

Right-hand man.

Katie: 00:23:10

, he's most known for playing the endearingly dimwitted Horshack

Katie: 00:23:13

character on welcome back Kotter.

Katie: 00:23:16

And then rounding out the cast.

Katie: 00:23:18

Some of, you might know this guy, bill Kirk and Bauer.

Katie: 00:23:21

He plays this skate town doctor again?

Katie: 00:23:24

Yes.

Katie: 00:23:24

We're living in a world where there's a doctor in house.

Katie: 00:23:27

At a roller rink.

Katie: 00:23:28

He plays coach Lubbock from growing pains.

Katie: 00:23:31

And it's amazing spinoff, just the 10 of us who I can't wait to cover that when

Katie: 00:23:36

it comes up in one of these episodes.

Katie: 00:23:39

But please let me know if you recall either of these and

Katie: 00:23:41

you remember coach Lubbock.

Katie: 00:23:43

So the description.

Katie: 00:23:44

A ski town, USA, short and sweet at a roller disco competition.

Katie: 00:23:48

Two rivals find themselves becoming good friends while competing for a prize of

Katie: 00:23:53

a thousand dollars in cash and a moped.

Katie: 00:23:58

Okay.

Katie: 00:23:58

So it was a really low budget.

Katie: 00:24:01

I couldn't find the exact number somewhere between three and $4.5 million.

Katie: 00:24:05

But they didn't even make back their budget.

Katie: 00:24:07

So it was not a success at the box office.

Katie: 00:24:11

It only made 2.3, $5 million at the box office.

Katie: 00:24:15

That doesn't even matter.

Katie: 00:24:15

We're just going to move on.

Katie: 00:24:16

We're going to get into why I think you guys should watch this.

Katie: 00:24:19

It was the first of three rollerskating films around this time.

Katie: 00:24:24

But the others were far more well-known and successful.

Katie: 00:24:27

, roller boogie and Xanadu, but this one was actually the first.

Katie: 00:24:31

And I'm assuming that most of you have not actually seen it, but you should.

Katie: 00:24:37

For the outfits and hair alone.

Katie: 00:24:40

We're talking bikini tops, short shorts, tube tops, and on men, feathered hair.

Katie: 00:24:48

But then you add in Patrick Swayze's first appearance in a movie where he kills it.

Katie: 00:24:54

Now it's a must see.

Katie: 00:24:56

It is silly.

Katie: 00:24:58

It's a campy roller disco musical comedy.

Katie: 00:25:01

So please watch it.

Katie: 00:25:02

Keeping that in mind.

Katie: 00:25:04

Then you'll have fun.

Katie: 00:25:06

It is supposed to be absurd.

Katie: 00:25:08

It's nostalgia city.

Katie: 00:25:10

I mean, I wasn't even born yet, but I just found this to be.

Katie: 00:25:13

So fun.

Katie: 00:25:14

It's a sensory overload in a good way.

Katie: 00:25:17

Showcasing how immensely popular roller skating, roller dancing, roller disco.

Katie: 00:25:22

And everything that surrounds that.

Katie: 00:25:24

How popular that was at the time.

Katie: 00:25:26

The roller rink.

Katie: 00:25:28

As a destination skate town is a roller dance club and venue.

Katie: 00:25:33

It has a stage.

Katie: 00:25:36

With multiple performers and bands throughout the night.

Katie: 00:25:39

A DJ booth, a snack bar, which kind of becomes a big part of the movie actually.

Katie: 00:25:45

And the roller rink is the dance floor.

Katie: 00:25:48

So you have performers and bands performing, and people are

Katie: 00:25:52

dancing, but on roller skates,

Katie: 00:25:54

That's the world we're in.

Katie: 00:25:56

So yes, it's kind of crazy, but like I said, it just shows the popularity

Katie: 00:26:02

of this kind of thing at the time.

Katie: 00:26:04

The music is awesome.

Katie: 00:26:06

I mean, it is a musical, but the music is great.

Katie: 00:26:09

I don't even really like musicals that much.

Katie: 00:26:11

There are some exceptions.

Katie: 00:26:13

This doesn't feel like your typical musical.

Katie: 00:26:16

But it does play amazing music of the time.

Katie: 00:26:20

The whole movie, the soundtrack is great.

Katie: 00:26:23

And a few standouts for me anyway, were.

Katie: 00:26:26

Shake your body down to the ground by the Jackson's.

Katie: 00:26:30

I need awards, ring my bell.

Katie: 00:26:32

And a cover of rolling stones.

Katie: 00:26:35

Under my thumb.

Katie: 00:26:37

It's performed by hounds.

Katie: 00:26:39

I don't know if any of you have heard of hounds, but it's a

Katie: 00:26:40

cover of a rolling stone classic.

Katie: 00:26:43

Under my thumb, such a good song.

Katie: 00:26:44

There's, a summer to maybe by earth, wind and fire.

Katie: 00:26:47

So great soundtrack.

Katie: 00:26:50

The whole movie has music in the background, but it's

Katie: 00:26:52

not your typical musical.

Katie: 00:26:54

If that makes sense.

Katie: 00:26:56

Okay.

Katie: 00:26:58

There is an insanely crazy cast of characters and a constant comedy

Katie: 00:27:03

of errors throughout this movie.

Katie: 00:27:04

Like I said, it's absurd.

Katie: 00:27:06

It's ridiculous.

Katie: 00:27:07

But it's supposed to be, you know, it's, can't be like I had mentioned,

Katie: 00:27:10

some of the cast of characters.

Katie: 00:27:12

And the constant comedy of errors include you.

Katie: 00:27:15

Have your your standard ditzy blonde bimbo type.

Katie: 00:27:19

She's the ticket counter girl.

Katie: 00:27:21

Then you have a super kooky DJ.

Katie: 00:27:24

There's an old man who is a little person.

Katie: 00:27:27

Who's clearly a regular at this place and is always flirting.

Katie: 00:27:33

Then we have,, I don't know where this came from, but

Katie: 00:27:35

there's a nerdy newlywed couple.

Katie: 00:27:38

And they win tickets to this competition, . In a game show and they are constantly.

Katie: 00:27:45

Having fish out of water type hi-jinks quite fun, but it's just

Katie: 00:27:49

like, where did that come from?

Katie: 00:27:51

There's an old, old man.

Katie: 00:27:54

That's a comedian at the snack bar.

Katie: 00:27:56

Just rambling on to whoever will listen.

Katie: 00:27:58

And then Harvey.

Katie: 00:28:00

Who's the owner played by flip Wilson.

Katie: 00:28:02

There's a point in time where he's dressed in drag.

Katie: 00:28:06

And at first I'm like, wait, why is the owner dressed in drag?

Katie: 00:28:09

But it turns out he's actually playing an entirely different character.

Katie: 00:28:12

But it's he's, it's his mother.

Katie: 00:28:14

That's the character who he's playing in it.

Katie: 00:28:16

Has little to do with anything it's just thrown in.

Katie: 00:28:19

We have a bumbling fat snack bar attendant.

Katie: 00:28:23

Who's constantly mowing down on hot dogs, no bun, just the hot dogs.

Katie: 00:28:26

He's just got like handful of hot dogs that he's constantly eating.

Katie: 00:28:30

And he plays a part in some hi-jinks that we'll get into in a second.

Katie: 00:28:34

Involving this drunken drug dealer who comes up to the snack bar.

Katie: 00:28:37

So those two, the hotdog guy and this.

Katie: 00:28:41

Drunken drug dealer.

Katie: 00:28:43

There's a scene where there's an accidental grinding up of cocaine.

Katie: 00:28:49

Into the pizza cheese.

Katie: 00:28:50

There's a counter again.

Katie: 00:28:51

It's 1979.

Katie: 00:28:52

And they're actually like putting like a block of cheese into a grinder.

Katie: 00:28:56

For the pizza.

Katie: 00:28:57

Somehow cocaine ends up in there.

Katie: 00:29:00

So the whole rest of the evening, as they're grinding

Katie: 00:29:02

cheese, to make the pizza.

Katie: 00:29:05

All of the patrons are getting high accidentally it's hilarious.

Katie: 00:29:10

And that the DJ talks about, oh, there's something funny in the pizza.

Katie: 00:29:14

Also we're introduced to the set of four, I believe.

Katie: 00:29:18

Dowdy stick in the mud types that are there as inspectors.

Katie: 00:29:22

Of course, they just happen to show up this evening to inspect the place and

Katie: 00:29:27

they of course are served some pizza.

Katie: 00:29:29

And then they get high.

Katie: 00:29:31

It's a whole thing.

Katie: 00:29:32

It's funny.

Katie: 00:29:33

And then we have the west side wheelers.

Katie: 00:29:36

Yes.

Katie: 00:29:37

There's a skate gang in this movie.

Katie: 00:29:40

They have matching outfits and it's amazing.

Katie: 00:29:42

They're black and purple.

Katie: 00:29:44

The jackets on the backer vest, say west side wheelers.

Katie: 00:29:48

, it's so awesome because Patrick looks amazing because most of

Katie: 00:29:52

the time he's wearing just his best with no shirt underneath.

Katie: 00:29:56

Okay.

Katie: 00:29:57

I mean, let me see if I can get this right.

Katie: 00:29:59

I don't think I'm exaggerating at all.

Katie: 00:30:02

When I tell you, he's literally one of the most beautiful specimens.

Katie: 00:30:08

Of a male human.

Katie: 00:30:10

I mean, you watch it please.

Katie: 00:30:12

You guys watch it.

Katie: 00:30:13

Patrick Swayze.

Katie: 00:30:14

, he's in this movie.

Katie: 00:30:16

26 or 27.

Katie: 00:30:18

I think.

Katie: 00:30:20

You're going to enjoy some Patrick Swayze.

Katie: 00:30:23

Yeah.

Katie: 00:30:23

Yup.

Katie: 00:30:24

Yeah.

Katie: 00:30:25

Okay.

Katie: 00:30:26

This leads us to the competition.

Katie: 00:30:29

That pits ACE.

Katie: 00:30:31

The reigning champ, Patrick Swayze against Stan.

Katie: 00:30:34

For the price.

Katie: 00:30:35

There are other contestants in this contest.

Katie: 00:30:38

But ACEs goons come up with these schoolyard pranks to weed

Katie: 00:30:44

them out of the competition.

Katie: 00:30:45

So he's playing dirty.

Katie: 00:30:47

But.

Katie: 00:30:48

We get down to two contestants, Stan, our protagonist, , The blonde guy who

Katie: 00:30:52

Marsha Brady, AK, Maureen McCormick.

Katie: 00:30:54

Is his sister.

Katie: 00:30:55

So that's where we are.

Katie: 00:30:56

Those two.

Katie: 00:30:58

The singles portion, ACE, he's super sexy.

Katie: 00:31:01

He's got a serious space.

Katie: 00:31:02

It's very sensual and sexy.

Katie: 00:31:04

Whereas Stan's performance in the singles portion is very gymnastics forward.

Katie: 00:31:08

They're both impressive, but.

Katie: 00:31:10

Patrick Swayze wins that portion.

Katie: 00:31:12

I'm sorry.

Katie: 00:31:12

ACE wins.

Katie: 00:31:13

The singles portion.

Katie: 00:31:15

In his routine, remember how I was saying that there's a stage.

Katie: 00:31:19

There's ramps everywhere.

Katie: 00:31:20

Apparently also because everyone's on skates, ACE even has a move where he

Katie: 00:31:24

jumps off of the stage onto the rink.

Katie: 00:31:26

And it's super reminiscent of the same move in dirty dancing, but it's on skates.

Katie: 00:31:32

Okay, so now.

Katie: 00:31:33

We're in the pairs portion and ACE.

Katie: 00:31:36

He and his partner, it's amazingly impressive.

Katie: 00:31:40

And.

Katie: 00:31:42

Super sexy.

Katie: 00:31:43

It's like figure skating, but on roller skates, of course.

Katie: 00:31:46

Mixed with sensual dancing moves.

Katie: 00:31:49

You know, like from dirty dancing and everything, It's really

Katie: 00:31:52

impressive to watch and I'm still perplexed how this is even a

Katie: 00:31:56

thing, how it's possible on skates.

Katie: 00:31:59

All the agility.

Katie: 00:32:01

Balance strength and precision is involved.

Katie: 00:32:04

I should also mention that Patrick Swayze.

Katie: 00:32:07

Was actually a competitive roller skater back in the day.

Katie: 00:32:11

So.

Katie: 00:32:12

This wasn't new to him and he's also a dancer by trade, still it's so impressive.

Katie: 00:32:16

Anyway.

Katie: 00:32:17

So that's Patrick Swayze as ACE, his couples portion.

Katie: 00:32:21

It's really good.

Katie: 00:32:22

Like really good.

Katie: 00:32:24

And then Stan's portion.

Katie: 00:32:26

So his partner.

Katie: 00:32:28

Is supposed to be his sister, Susie.

Katie: 00:32:30

But she is Mia with ACEs buddy.

Katie: 00:32:35

Cause he steals a car and they've eaten the pizza.

Katie: 00:32:37

So they're high.

Katie: 00:32:39

So he's now left without a partner.

Katie: 00:32:42

And there is a girl and a white dress that he sees earlier in the

Katie: 00:32:46

night that he's, , really taken by.

Katie: 00:32:49

And it turns out that that's actually ASIS sister and she decides that

Katie: 00:32:53

she's going to step in now and be Stan's partner in the couples portion.

Katie: 00:32:58

So they do their routine.

Katie: 00:33:00

It's fine.

Katie: 00:33:00

It's mediocre in my opinion, but for the movie's sake,

Katie: 00:33:03

Stan.

Katie: 00:33:05

Wins the couples portion despite, ACEs being way better, but it's a movie.

Katie: 00:33:10

And so we have to now have a tie, right?

Katie: 00:33:12

This portion of the competition leads to the tie-breaking race

Katie: 00:33:16

down the Santa Monica pier.

Katie: 00:33:19

So that's what they call it.

Katie: 00:33:20

ACE challenges stand to erase down the pier.

Katie: 00:33:23

But it's not a race.

Katie: 00:33:25

What it is is a game of chicken on motorized skates to see whose zags first.

Katie: 00:33:30

To avoid plunging into the ocean at the end.

Katie: 00:33:33

So , they have a button.

Katie: 00:33:35

With breaks.

Katie: 00:33:36

Yep.

Katie: 00:33:37

That's this movie.

Katie: 00:33:38

So they both crashed into the water.

Katie: 00:33:41

And since Stan is our protagonist, despite.

Katie: 00:33:45

Patrick carrying the movie.

Katie: 00:33:47

he saves ACEs life in the water.

Katie: 00:33:50

I'm not sure why it's , unclear why he can't just swim a shore.

Katie: 00:33:53

I don't know if he can't swim or whatnot, but for the movie's sake,

Katie: 00:33:56

Stan saves ACEs life.

Katie: 00:33:59

And yay.

Katie: 00:33:59

Now they're friends.

Katie: 00:34:00

So that's how the movie ends.

Katie: 00:34:03

I know this sounds ridiculous, but the roller skating moves

Katie: 00:34:05

the tricks in this movie.

Katie: 00:34:06

They're all very impressive., and so it's enjoyable for that aspect

Katie: 00:34:10

regardless of the plot of the movie.

Katie: 00:34:13

Okay, so that's general what's going on in the movie?

Katie: 00:34:16

Like I said, Patrick Swayze's first role.

Katie: 00:34:19

You got to watch it.

Katie: 00:34:21

Some trivia in case I haven't twisted your arm quite yet.

Katie: 00:34:25

So this phone was the first roller disco movie of the seventies.

Katie: 00:34:27

It was released a few months actually before roller buggy.

Katie: 00:34:30

I think I had mentioned that already.

Katie: 00:34:32

After Patrick Swayze appeared in dirty dancing in 1987.

Katie: 00:34:36

So what does that, eight years later,

Katie: 00:34:39

The movie was nicknamed dirty skating by fans.

Katie: 00:34:43

I love this tidbit.

Katie: 00:34:46

For a couple of reasons, a, the fans renamed it because there were fans of

Katie: 00:34:51

this movie and it is dirty skating.

Katie: 00:34:53

, his performance, especially in the couples portion is very essential.

Katie: 00:34:56

It's super sexy.

Katie: 00:34:57

It is kind of like dirty dancing, but on skates.

Katie: 00:35:00

So I love that.

Katie: 00:35:01

Also, it's very reminiscent for me anyway.

Katie: 00:35:05

Of, one of my favorites.

Katie: 00:35:07

Sylvester Stallone.

Katie: 00:35:09

Was in a soft core porn.

Katie: 00:35:11

Originally titled the party at kitty and studs.

Katie: 00:35:13

This was before he made it.

Katie: 00:35:15

He really needed some money.

Katie: 00:35:16

And then when he made it,, with Rocky.

Katie: 00:35:20

The fans didn't rename it, but it was rereleased to capitalize

Katie: 00:35:24

on the success of Rocky.

Katie: 00:35:26

So the party at kitty and stats was rereleased after Rocky's

Katie: 00:35:29

success as the Italian stallion.

Katie: 00:35:32

I'm sure a lot of you knew that, but it's fine.

Katie: 00:35:35

Then in a similar vein.

Katie: 00:35:36

I guess we have a cameo by Dorothy Stratten.

Katie: 00:35:40

Who was a playboy playmate at the time.

Katie: 00:35:43

The August, 1979 Playboy playmate of the month.

Katie: 00:35:47

And 1980 playmate of the year, apparently.

Katie: 00:35:50

She plays the blonde at the food counter.

Katie: 00:35:53

That's ordering pizza and it's taking forever.

Katie: 00:35:55

She's like, I'll take it frozen.

Katie: 00:35:56

She keeps having to reorder her pizza.

Katie: 00:35:59

And that super old comedian guy keeps telling her jokes and

Katie: 00:36:02

she's just like not having it.

Katie: 00:36:04

So that's, that's that.

Katie: 00:36:05

And then.

Katie: 00:36:06

And shockingly, apparently cocaine use was common during the

Katie: 00:36:10

filming kind of shows actually.

Katie: 00:36:12

According to Maureen McCormick in her book.

Katie: 00:36:14

Here's the story.

Katie: 00:36:15

Surviving Marcia Brady and finding my true voice.

Katie: 00:36:19

She writes like a disco.

Katie: 00:36:21

There was a lot of cocaine being done on the set.

Katie: 00:36:23

Many people were open about it.

Katie: 00:36:25

That's not surprising, but I thought that was, a fun little tidbit as well.

Katie: 00:36:29

Okay.

Katie: 00:36:30

Ski town USA.

Katie: 00:36:31

I feel captured something special with the look of it, the feel of it,

Katie: 00:36:36

and it's impossible to ignore it.

Katie: 00:36:37

Soundtrack.

Katie: 00:36:38

I do hope you consider watching skate town USA to see one of

Katie: 00:36:42

our, every man's first roll.

Katie: 00:36:45

It's a doozy indeed.

Katie: 00:36:47

And let me know what you think.

Katie: 00:36:49

Of it comment on YouTube Facebook, or you can always email me at

Katie: 00:36:52

retro made podcasts, gmail.com.

Katie: 00:36:54

So while the seventies disco era.

Katie: 00:36:57

Does look like a freaking awesome time to me.

Katie: 00:37:01

We must now return to the present day reality.

Katie: 00:37:04

Have a friend who might also enjoy this type of nostalgia, share the show and

Katie: 00:37:08

ratings and reviews are also very helpful.

Katie: 00:37:11

Wink wink.

Katie: 00:37:13

Until next time.

Katie: 00:37:14

Be kind.
