The Max and Jason Watch a Movie PodcastMax And Jason Watch A Movie: The Wolf Man.This week we discuss the 1941 Universal monster movie classic, The Wolf Man. This film was so popular it launched six more Universal Pictures Wolf Man films.
A couple of notes. During the discussion we talk at some length about an amazing series of books on cinema monsters. These are the Crestwood Publications "Monster" books. They were found in children's sections of libraries across the nation I presume and they were certainly in Morrison Reeves Library in my home town. They are long out of print now, but if you are lucky maybe you can find them in yo...

2020-04-1038 minBranded in the 80s Podcast16 - Michael Reaves AppreciationOn this latest episode I take a minute to give a little appreciation to one of my favorite animation writers, the great Michael Reaves. Though he may not be a household name, he worked on a ton of the cartoons of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, contributing some of the best episodes of each series he touched.

2017-12-1930 minBranded in the 80s PodcastEpisode 12 - Walter Kellog Cereal DetectiveOn the latest episode of the Branded in the 80s podcast I'm going to attempt to solve a mystery, a cold case 30 years in the making. It's a twisted tale of deception, a famous advertising slogan, mistaken identities, and murder. Welcome to Cereal, presented by Branded in the 80s. This story is an obscure, mostly forgotten and dark period in cereal history. Breakfast cereal history. It begins with a beloved 80s commercial jingle and it will eventually uncover the death of a third tier cereal mascot and the cover-up that has slipped under the radar of a generation.

How does getting older change the way I look at collecting, and how can I refine and focus my efforts to best accomplish my goal to reconnect with my childhood.
2017-12-0524 minBranded in the 80s PodcastEpisode 10 - Passing Down the Matrix of NostalgiaThe second season of the All New Branded in the 80s podcast continues with episode 10 where I talk a bit about passing the torch of nostalgia to the next generation. Having had the opportunity to babysit my nephew, a 10 year-old Transformers superfan, I got a chance to see how he reacted to the original generation of toys and cartoons. Does the old stuff still hold up for this new generation? And how weird is it that Transformers is now a generational fandom?
2017-11-2821 minBranded in the 80s PodcastEpisode 9 - Cartoon Liner NotesThe All New Branded in the 80s Podcast returns for season 2 with an episode that takes a look at creator attribution behind the scenes of our favorite 80s cartoons. From voice actors to the musicians behind the theme songs, why is it so difficult to pin down exactly who helped create our favorite animation. In this episode I focus on why it's so hard to pin down attribution, in particular when it comes to the music we have burned into our heads for our favorite theme songs. I also give a shout out to a friend in th...

To create a truly monstrous sequel Adam and Jeramy recruited Monster Squad super fan, Shawn Robare from the Cult Film Club podcast and brandedinthe80s.com who came equipped with endless trivia about...

2016-08-1524 minBranded in the 80s PodcastEpisode 7 - Nostalgia, the Weirder, the BetterOn this episode of the All New Branded in the 80s podcast I spend some time talking about what it's like to be a nostalgia addicted guy in the world of pop culture collecting. Though I adore most all 80s nostalgic kid's stuff, these days it takes more than a tub full of Masters of the Universe figures or a wall of Nintendo NES cartridges to get me excited about collecting. No, to really make my head spin the stuff that I love to find has to be the kind of things that simply just should exist anymore. So joi...
2016-08-0724 minBranded in the 80s PodcastEpisode 6 - The Marty McFly TheoremIn this week's episode of the All New Branded in the 80s podcast I talk a little bit about the Marty McFly Theorem, or how there are really two completely different Marty McFlys in the first Back to the Future film.

2016-07-1723 minBranded in the 80s PodcastEpisode 4 - Thunder in Your HeartIn this episode of the All New Branded in the 80s podcast I dig a little deeper into one of my favorite 80s era anthems, the badass Thunder in Your Heart by John Farnham from the soundtrack to the 1986 cult BMX film Rad. I recently discovered that two of my other favorite 80s era anthem musicians, Stan Bush (who wrote and performs The Touch for the 1986 Transformers movie) & Joe Esposito (who performed You're the Best from the Karate Kid soundtrack) have also covered this song. I dig into the three versions, talk a bit about their similarities and differences an...

I cover a bit of the reason why I love them as a concept before diving into some discussion talking all about the 1985 Ghostbusters: A Supernatural Spectacular novel. I cover some extended and deleted scenes as well as some all new material that wasn't either in the script or the finished film.

2016-07-0326 minBranded in the 80s PodcastEpisode 2 - Reconsidering Billy Francis KopekeIn this week's episode of the Branded in the 80s podcast I take a minute to talk about finding new perspectives on the pop culture that we know and love so much that it's started to lose some of its luster. To this effect I reconsider the character of Billy Francis Kopeke from the 1988 Penny Marshall film Big. After viewing the alternate director's cut of the film Kopeke becomes a much more nuanced character that not only has an expanded story, but it's one that changes the tone and overall theme of the film. If you'd like to chat, you...
