Mel Brooks - Happy Birthday, Uncle Mel!
<p>For most of us, MEL BROOKS has always been around. He's our Crazy Uncle Mel, the one who makes sure your parents don't find out when he tells you a dirty joke or shows you a naughty picture. Uncle Mel helped to shape the humor and outlook of MULTIPLE generations, especially Gen-X, who were plopped down in front of a TV at an all too young age and watched YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, BLAZING SADDLES and his other classics on a continuous loop. To celebrate MEL BROOKS' 100TH birthday, I've once again round up every vicious criminal and gunslinger in the west: rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists. Yes, I'm once again joined by Bellacissa, Bill Dunn, Brad (Big Beard Booty Daddy) Reiter and Anthony (Tin Foil Consortium) as we celebrate the life and work of the legendary MEL BROOKS! Walk this way, and join us down the basement for some ABBYNORMAL laughs.....</p><p><br></p><p>Look for POP CULTURE BASEMENT on:</p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://x.com/popcltrbasement?s=21" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://x.com/popcltrbasement?s=21</a></p><p>Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/popculturebasement.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://bsky.app/profile/popculturebasement.bsky.social</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/popculturebasementpodcast?igsh=M3p0ZmszeWNzZ3c0&utm_source=qr" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/popculturebasementpodcast?igsh=M3p0ZmszeWNzZ3c0&utm_source=qr</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/1CLdbaWAkj/?mibextid=wwXIfr" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/share/1CLdbaWAkj/?mibextid=wwXIfr</a></p><p>Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.com/@popculturebasementpodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.threads.com/@popculturebasementpodcast</a></p><p><br></p><p>Please SUBSCRIBE, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE POP CULTURE BASEMENT on: </p><p>APPLE: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pop-culture-basement/id1796270822" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pop-culture-basement/id1796270822</a></p><p>SPOTIFY: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6v6QCWVQwlm9SIQ6OsrGbK?si=7900fd00758e4320" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/show/6v6QCWVQwlm9SIQ6OsrGbK?si=7900fd00758e4320</a></p><p>AMAZON: <a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e787a33a-a481-43b8-bb43-853edf70b8d1/pop-culture-basement" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e787a33a-a481-43b8-bb43-853edf70b8d1/pop-culture-basement</a></p><p>YOUTUBE: <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHBHVrpf0cV77cMxgyTb4Ql2_pdKsNrV6&si=4t8AmgGPbY5cM8rE" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHBHVrpf0cV77cMxgyTb4Ql2_pdKsNrV6&si=4t8AmgGPbY5cM8rE</a></p><p>and ALL podcast platforms!</p><p><br></p>

Clue - 80's Who's Who Whodunit
<p>In the age we live in, where every IP is mined for nostalgia to make a quick billion, it's hard to imagine a time when a movie based on a BOARD GAME was an anomaly that quickly faded from theaters...only to rise again as a generation spanning cult classic. BILL BERE from THE BATPOD returns to the basement to solve the mystery that is CLUE: How this children's time waster turned holiday flick attracted legendary playwrights, producers & directors along with iconic actors to imprint upon it's Gen-X audience and become a beloved cult classic. So take note....it's Mike and Bill. In the basement.

The Hobbit - No, the GOOD one!
<p>The LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy is epic and iconic filmmaking, some of the BEST fantasy content put on screen. The HOBBIT Trilogy...eh, not so much. Did we REALLY need a trio of 3 hour films to depict J.R.R. Tolkien's classic tale? In 1977, Rankin/Bass emphatically proved that NO, we did not! HENRY BERNSTEIN joins me down in the basement once again to sift through my childhood nightmare fuel and discuss the Rankin/Bass animated version of THE HOBBIT! Along the way, we discover that Henry is NOT EXACTLY a Tolkien Scholar, our opinions on the songs, who's the better Gandalf and why I'm STILL afraid of Gollum to this day! Join us, My Precious.....</p><p><br></p><p>You can find Henry's podcasts here:</p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/songs-of-experience-a-bob-dylan-podcast/id1744985269" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/songs-of-experience-a-bob-dylan-podcast/id1744985269</a></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/funny-they-dont-look-jewish/id1454459953" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/funny-they-dont-look-jewish/id1454459953</a></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/superman-lois-pals/id1556455040" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/superman-lois-pals/id1556455040</a></p><p><br></p><p>Look for POP CULTURE BASEMENT on:</p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://x.com/popcltrbasement?s=21" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://x.com/popcltrbasement?s=21</a></p><p>Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/popculturebasement.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://bsky.app/profile/popculturebasement.bsky.social</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/popculturebasementpodcast?igsh=M3p0ZmszeWNzZ3c0&utm_source=qr" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/popculturebasementpodcast?igsh=M3p0ZmszeWNzZ3c0&utm_source=qr</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/1CLdbaWAkj/?mibextid=wwXIfr" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/share/1CLdbaWAkj/?mibextid=wwXIfr</a></p><p>Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.com/@popculturebasementpodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.threads.com/@popculturebasementpodcast</a></p><p><br></p><p>Please SUBSCRIBE, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE POP CULTURE BASEMENT on: </p><p>APPLE: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pop-culture-basement/id1796270822" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pop-culture-basement/id1796270822</a></p><p>SPOTIFY: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6v6QCWVQwlm9SIQ6OsrGbK?si=7900fd00758e4320" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/show/6v6QCWVQwlm9SIQ6OsrGbK?si=7900fd00758e4320</a></p><p>AMAZON: <a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e787a33a-a481-43b8-bb43-853edf70b8d1/pop-culture-basement" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e787a33a-a481-43b8-bb43-853edf70b8d1/pop-culture-basement</a></p><p>YOUTUBE: <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHBHVrpf0cV77cMxgyTb4Ql2_pdKsNrV6&si=4t8AmgGPbY5cM8rE" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHBHVrpf0cV77cMxgyTb4Ql2_pdKsNrV6&si=4t8AmgGPbY5cM8rE</a></p><p>and ALL podcast platforms!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
