Episode 14 – 80s Movie Deep Dive: Zubilee Zoo, Karate Kid vs Back to the Future & Nostalgia
In this uncensored and hilarious deep dive, Joe and Bain break down the weirdest corners of 1980s pop culture. They begin with an AI guessing game fail over Zubilee Zoo, leading into a wild theory about whether the show kick‑started modern furry fandom. From there, they debate whether Karate Kid or Back to the Future left the stronger cultural legacy.
Packed with trivia and nostalgia, they unpack the unsettling vibes of He‑Man, Garbage Pail Kids, and Johnny Depp’s Willy Wonka, while revealing behind‑the‑scenes stories—like the non‑functional shark that made Jaws scarier and the iconic unscripted entrance by Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka.
They also share the scoop on their first IMDb credits, tease an upcoming Philly filmmaker guest, and dish on binge‑worthy shows like The Institute, The Bear, and Animal Kingdom. Expect legendary movie lines, quirky nostalgia, and plenty of laughs.
