Two Men. Two Families. Two feet in the past. All eyes on the future! Join veteran podcasters Shazbazzar and JediShua each week for a look back at the 70s and 80s as they share the fun and fandom of their youth with their own families. Topics include TV, film, music, and games of the 70s and 80s as well as franchises which have continued into the 21st Century, like Star Wars and TRON. It’s a blend of new and old as stories are passed down from one generation to the next. And don’t forget the cereal! It’s Saturday morning in 1977 whenever and wherever this podcast is playing, and if you’re lucky enough to remember it, then come take a walk down memory lane with us. If you want to understand what it was like, then you’ve come to the right place. Over the years, this show has become known for its stunning production, insightful topics, amazing weekly show art, fun segments, and a positive spirit that is perfect for your Monday mornings. If you’re part of the Gen X generation, the child of one, or just fondly remember the sci-fi, fantasy and pop culture of the 70s and 80s, then this podcast is for you!
