from Gen X Men Pod · host bdrohland
It was a hell of a run, but Sid Krofft passed away recently, well into his 90's. You Gen Xers will remember Sid and his brother Marty basically making Saturday mornings a wild journey of our youth. "Land of the Lost", "H.R. Pufnstuf" "Bugaloos" "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl" among the shows many of us sat down and consumed while eating sugary cereal. A fantastic time to be alive!As former college radio disc jockeys, Bill and Gary were impressed with Aadam Jacobs (yes, that is how he spells Aadam) amazing concert tapes. 10,000 tapes of live shows all around Chicago. 1989 Nirvana, 2 years before "Nevermind" came out. The Bangles in 1984. So many shows and bands you've heard of...and some you haven't (looking at you Cat Butt).Finally it was announced they are working on a script for Top Gun 3. The questions we have...why? who? what? Didn't we close the book on Maverick in 2022? I know people will disagree, but do we need Top Gun 3?#SidandMartyKrofft #landofthelost #HRPufnstuf #70snostalgia #genxpodcast #genx #AadamJacobs #concerttapes #topgun3 #tomcruise #topgunmaverick #saturdaymorningcartoons
