In this episode of A Little Snack, Monolith and Bear Trap get all nostalgic about a whole bunch of 80s stuff. For no reason at all here's a list of 80s things they did not talk about in this podcast, but probably should have: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, E.T., jam shorts, Panama Jack apparel, 'Explorers', Battle Beasts, the guy with the melted face in 'Robocop', Battlecat, Rubik's cubes, Oregon Trail, and Jennifer Gray. Ok, Jennifer gets a mention. But all the other stuff is definitely not talked about. Discussed: The United States Post Office's plan to end Saturday mail delivery, what Bear Trap often finds in his "postbox", the future of mail, Canada's plan to take pennies out of circulation, whether pennies are even worth the effort of picking them up (nope), what sort of weather is most conducive for spotting loose change for those who are miles tall, Monolith's story about his first glimpse of the glory that is 'Die Hard', a Richard Dreyfus sighting and his emotional state at the time, what movie 'Dave' ripped off for its national leader-impersonating plot, a review of 'The Three Stooges' remake (yes, this film was witnessed), a movie that Bear Trap saw as a kid that does not actually appear to exist, what book series the 'Ender's Game' sequel 'Speaker for the Dead' resembles, what kind of movie-girl Monolith fancies, the phenomenon of falling women in romantic comedies at the turn of this century, the apex of the 'clumsy lady' romantic lead, what caused Bear Trap to stop watching 'Tosh.0', Jennifer Gray and the thing that happened to her, the methods men of a certain age used to get cartridge games to work again, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Putt-putt and Super Saturdays, 'Silence of the Lambs' (the novel) revisited, and what the hell Thomas Harris should be doing right this second. And a couple other digressions that or may not be in some way interesting. Play it on your iTunes. Do something productive while these chuckleheads murmur about nonsense in the background.
