Aug 31, 2023
Aug 31, 2023
1hr 14 min
On the 35th edition of Pop Goes the Classics, Andy Atherton, Mirandia Berthold, and Steve Riddle travel back to prehistoric times as they discuss the 39th film in the Disney Animated Canon, Dinosaur. Join the trio as they discuss the film being lost in the shuffle of 2000, the amazing visuals of the film, the lack of story and character development, comparisons to other dinosaur films like Jurassic Park and the Land Before Time, having lemurs be in the film despite not actually existing in that time frame, the untapped potential of Eema and Baylene as comic relief, Kron: the biggest asshole in Disney history, having the Carnotaurus be the villain instead of the usual T-Rex, and if is the most forgotten film in Disney history. So join Andy, Mirandia, and Steve as they continue on their trek through all the films in the Disney canon.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we celebrate our 400th episode of the podcast!
First, in Episode 399, the late 70s experienced a sci-fi kick in theaters and on television. Someone had the idea to create a show which crossed science fiction with Sanford and Son, somewhat. Salvage 1 was about a crew who went to the moon to bring lunar junk back to Earth, but they did everything but that. What was Andy Griffith thinking?
Then, we have reached Episode 400! This time, we're talking about a show whose formula worked in theaters as Turner and Hooch, but the dog can talk?! And Italy enjoyed this so much, they revived it in 2000?!?!

In the forty-fifth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Chad Campbell to discuss which East Coast Rap Songs deserve a place on their respective lists. Is “Juicy” by Notorious B.I.G. a no-brainer? What about “Life’s A Bitch” by Nas? Does “O.P.P.” by Naughty By Nature grab a spot? Does “Brooklyn Zoo” by Ol’ Dirty Bastard or “Rebel Without A Pause” by Public Enemy deserve a place? After that, they discuss which West Coast Rap Songs will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that “California Love” by 2Pac shouldn’t get a spot? Will “Straight Outta Compton” by N.W.A. be included? Is “It Was A Good Day” by Ice Cube in the conversation? What about “Gin And Juice” by Snoop Dogg & “Nothin’ But a G Thang” by Dr. Dre?
