Another '80s Podcast

Wit

Hello there. What makes this different than any other 80s podcast? Who knows? I’ve never really listened to one. Who is this podcast for? Well…for everyone. But it’s especially for those who appreciate the wonder of World Premiere Videos. The smell of gum in the back of a pack of baseball or Garbage Pail Kids cards. The conjuring of only one image when hearing The Cars Moving in Stereo. The ones who had a favorite and most hated scratch & sniff sticker. Those whose soul truly hurt when they found out Chevy Chase is a douche bag. Harken back to a time when so much was so cool!

    The McDLT

    On this episdoe of Another ’80s Podcast, we reconjure the McDLT, McDonald’s ambitious 1980s attempt to challenge the Whopper with a burger designed to keep “the hot side hot and the cool side cool.” From Jason Alexander’s unforgettable commercial to the oversized Styrofoam container that made the sandwich famous, the McDLT became a symbol of both fast-food innovation and environmental controversy. Join me for this 15 minute "mini" episode as we explore the rise and fall of this uniquely ’80s creation and why, decades later, fans still remember it with surprising affection. #80s #nostalgia #mcdlt

My guest Fran and I discuss the film’s origins, its connections to the game, our love for the cast and campy tone, and plenty more along the way—we’ve got it covered!
