Send us Fan MailA movie so bad my grandmother made us walk out? Passing fads of the 1970s? A remix from the first episode of the podcast?Episode 161 looks ahead toward the fall while looking back with a heavy dose of nostalgia.It kicks off with a movie widely considered to be one of the worst of the 1980s. Howard the Duck was a somewhat popular Marvel Comics character so how did he end up as a punchline in the annals of terrible movies? We'll get into that plus the story of how my grandmother and I walked out of the theater during the film. It's a double-dip of Back In the Day as we not only take a look back at the beginnings of the Nintendo Entertainment System but also back to Episode 1 of the podcast as the NES was a part of the very first show. It's time for a retro remix.Not everything that is popular stays popular. This week's Top 5 is proof of that as we look at the passing fads of the 1970s.
