Fedoras, Cringey Bands, and the Dawn of Music Television Artwork

Nice Pull!

Prepare for a mind-bending trip down memory lane as these Gen-Xers dive deep (really deep) into the pop culture rabbit hole that shaped their SoCal childhoods during the infamous 70s and 80s. The stakes are low (very low) as Chris and Jeff navigate a bizarre and long forgotten minefield of historical minutia that will have you frantically searching the interweb for proof that any of this stuff actually happened.

So sit back, relax, and do something that Chris and Jeff never could as kids -- buckle up!
