Pop Culture Yearbook

It's happening! After close to three years, we're finally talking about maybe our collective favorite movie ever: 1980's Caddyshack! No movie has been more quoted, more watched, and more important to bringing us together with our friends than Caddyshack. In this episode, we talk all about what makes it great in our opinion.

One of the reasons Caddyshack is so wonderful is the performance of Bill Murray. While Ted Knight (Judge Smails), Rodney Dangerfield (Al Czervik), and Chevy Chase (Ty Webb) are also at the top of their game, Murray's Carl Spackler stands out as much as anyone else. We cap the episode off by drafting our favorite Bill Murray movies and other credits. Well...we're waiting...for you to listen!

If there is one thing we love at PCY more than nostalgia, it might be trivia. The arrival of Trivial Pursuit in the 80s took the board game world by storm. At least that's how we remembered it. We talk about our first memories of the game (Spiro Agnew) and even pit Brad against Giff in a quick trivia match. 

After the exciting mano a mano, we finish the episode by drafting our favorite board games. Do you like Scattergories, Pictionary, Monopoly, Sorry? Listen now to hear who wins and if your favorite game made one of our lists!

What happens when two Gen X parents sit down with one of their Gen Z daughters to talk about Olivia Rodrigo? You get two generations, three perspectives, and plenty of opinions.

In this episode, Giff, Brad, and Brad's daughter Isla dive into Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, talking about the songs, the sound, the lyrics, and what makes Olivia such a massive star with a younger generation. Along the way, we look at how she has also connected many Gen Xers as well by following in the footsteps of many 80s and 90s hitmakers like David Byrne, The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Madonna and others. 

Listen now to hear where our musical tastes overlap and where they definitely don't!

Dave is back! When our sometime host Dave heard we were doing 1980, he requested we discuss one of his favorite movies, Flash Gordon. None of the rest of us had seen this movie, and it is quite an experience. While it may not be the best movie ever made, it definitely has found its way into pop culture still today, thanks in no small part to the movie Ted. It also doesn't hurt that the music was done by Queen. It's a movie everyone should probably see once. 

Flash Gordon was pretty clearly thought to be a franchise with multiple sequels, but it didn't work out that way. So our draft in this one is our favorite characters who only ever appeared in one movie. Obviously a very broad topic, we cover a lot of ground and are sure to mention many greats that you will love.
