On the thirtieth edition of Pop Goes the Classics, Steve Riddle, Mirandia Berthold, and Andy Atherton continue their trek through the Disney Renaissance by looking at the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The trio discuss all aspects of the film including: the dark tone of the film and staying true to the source material, the pure evilness of Judge Frollo, Quasimodo being one of the most sympathetic characters in history, whether Captain Phoebus is just Great Value John Smith or not, the beauty and kindness of Esmerelda, the importance of Hugo, Victor, and Laverne to Quasimodo, the forgotten soundtrack to the film, how the film would've worked if Cyndi Lauper and Meat Loaf were cast in the film, and if the film is really one of the more underrated films in history. So join Steve, Mirandia, and Andy as they move along through the history of Disney cinema.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we discuss the story of Carol Brady’s two very lovely girls getting married while trying to escape killer robots.
First, it's the early 1980s and the Brady kids have grown up and are ready to begin adulthood. Two of the Brady daughters got married, the couples moved in together, and Alice joined them for some reason. Typical Sherwood Schwartz hilarity ensued...briefly.
Then, after Westworld, the movie but before Westworld, the HBO series, there was a very brief TV series titled Beyond Westworld. In 1980, CBS attempted to continue the story of robots gone amok, the agents hired to stop them, and their creator from taking over the world.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we discuss baseballs and compact discs.
First, in 1994 and 1995, both ABC and NBC had a joint venture where they'd air primetime baseball. It went sideways after some markets did not get regional coverage. It didn't help that there was a strike which cut short both seasons, including no World Series in 1994.
Then, we mark the 40th anniversary of the compact disc by going down under and all around the world for ABC Australia's coverage of the breakthrough technology. Someone should have warned people in 1982 to not touch the bottoms of CDs.
Finally, before baseball season began in 1999, during a viewer mail segment, a viewer asked David Letterman how Letterman prepared for opening day. The response was the first of three appearances of this segment, Ball, Get Out of My Nachos.
