    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 408 BK Rewind 1988 REDUX

    We've made it a whole lap through the years of Be Kind Rewind, and now it's time to go back to where it all began! In Episode 408 of the iKnowBadeaux Podcast, we're revisiting the years that made pop culture history as we kick off a second look at our journey through the past with Be Kind Rewind Redux. When we started this adventure, we had no idea what it would become. We've explored the music, television, trends, and cultural moments that shaped the decades we grew up in, and along the way, we've discovered just how much there is to remember, debate, and occasionally question about the past. Now, in the interest of doing those early years right, we're taking a second lap through the years that started it all! Our Redux journey begins in 1988, a year that gave us plenty to revisit. We're talking Kokomo, Tetris, Roseanne, The Wonder Years, TV shows that didn't make it, and Lunchables. From the songs that got stuck in our heads to the television shows that became part of our lives and the childhood foods we still remember, we're cracking open the pop culture time capsule once again. What deserves a second look? What did we miss the first time around? And what better way to find out than to rewind the tape and give 1988 another spin? The nostalgia continues, the memories are coming back, and we're just getting started on our second lap through pop culture history. 📼 Press play and join us for Be Kind Rewind Redux as we revisit the unforgettable year of 1988!   #iKnowBadeauxPodcast #BeKindRewind #BeKindRewindRedux #1988 #1980sNostalgia #80sPopCulture #PopCultureHistory #RetroNostalgia #Kokomo #Tetris #Roseanne #TheWonderYears #Lunchables #80sMusic #ClassicTV #TVNostalgia #RetroRewind #NostalgiaPodcast #PopCulturePodcast #80sMemories

Because when it comes to horror, sometimes the strangest movie titles are the real ones! Will The Gang recognize the genuine films, or will the fake ones fool us?

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 406 John Hughes Films Ranked

    Few filmmakers defined a generation quite like John Hughes. From unforgettable teen comedies to beloved '80s classics and some of the most rewatchable movies of the '90s, Hughes created films that became part of our collective pop culture DNA. In Episode 406 of the iKnowBadeaux Podcast, The Gang takes on the momentous, potentially impossible task of ranking the films of the one and only John Hughes! With Jesse off Taming the Beast, we're bringing back Kevin Yeager to help us tackle a filmography packed with iconic characters, quotable dialogue, memorable soundtracks, and movies that helped define an era. How do you rank a filmmaker responsible for so many favorites? Which films belong at the top of the list, and which ones fall short when they're stacked against the classics? Can we possibly agree on a definitive John Hughes ranking, or are we about to discover that nostalgia makes this job even harder than it sounds? From teenage angst and high school hijinks to family adventures and the movies we've watched more times than we can count, we're celebrating the films of a director whose work continues to resonate with audiences decades later. 🎬 Press play and join us as we attempt the impossible: ranking the films of John Hughes!     #iKnowBadeauxPodcast #JohnHughes #JohnHughesMovies #MovieRanking #80sMovies #90sMovies #MovieNostalgia #80sNostalgia #90sNostalgia #ClassicMovies #TeenMovies #ComedyMovies #BreakfastClub #FerrisBueller #SixteenCandles #PrettyInPink #HomeAlone #UncleBuck #MoviePodcast #PopCulture

Which ones have aged surprisingly well? And which games are getting sent straight to the bottom of the list?

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 404 WTF Happened Apocalypse Now

    Hop into the Escape Pod for a very special Episode 404 of the iKnowBadeaux Podcast! This one has been sitting in the vault for a LONG time. Recorded all the way back in December of 2025, we've been saving this episode for just the right occasion. And now, Episode 404 has arrived. We're going deep on Apocalypse Now, one of the most ambitious, influential, and legendary films ever made... and a movie that almost didn't happen at all. From the moment the production began, Apocalypse Now seemed determined to go completely off the rails. Massive delays. Brutal conditions. Production disasters. Health problems. Financial nightmares. Creative battles. A production that just kept spiraling. And somehow, out of all that chaos, Francis Ford Coppola and his crew managed to create a movie that would go on to become one of the most celebrated films in cinematic history. But how close did they really come to losing everything? What happened behind the scenes? How did one of Hollywood's most infamous productions survive? And how in the hell did all of this chaos eventually become Apocalypse Now? Mayor Dave, Gabe, Scotty Pizza, and Jesse head deep into the jungle to uncover the incredible story behind one of the greatest WTF Happened? movies we've ever tackled. The production was a nightmare. The movie was nearly impossible to make. And somehow... Apocalypse Now happened. Welcome to Episode 404.     #iKnowBadeaux #WTFHappened #ApocalypseNow #FrancisFordCoppola #MartinSheen #MarlonBrando #RobertDuvall #DennisHopper #1979Movies #70sMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmHistory #BehindTheScenes #MakingMovies #CinemaHistory #MovieNostalgia #ClassicMovies #WarMovies #FilmProduction #Podcast

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 403 History of Adult Swim

    Zach Mahoney is back, and this time The Gang is diving headfirst into the strange, hilarious, and occasionally completely unhinged history of Adult Swim. From its early days growing out of Cartoon Network's late-night programming to the shows that turned it into a cultural phenomenon, we're looking back at the characters, series, commercials, bumps, and bizarre programming choices that made Adult Swim unlike anything else on television. Expect plenty of nostalgia, deep cuts, and a trip through the shows that defined late-night TV for an entire generation. Whether you were there from the beginning or discovered Adult Swim somewhere along the way, there's a good chance this episode will send you straight back to staying up way too late watching cartoons you probably weren't supposed to be watching. 🎧 Press play and take a trip back to the weirdest corner of television.     #AdultSwim #iKnowBadeauxPodcast #ZachMahoney #CartoonNetwork #AdultSwimHistory #SpaceGhost #AquaTeenHungerForce #Sealab2021 #HarveyBirdman #ATHF #RobotChicken #HomeMovies #90sNostalgia #2000sNostalgia #RetroTV #LateNightTV #TVHistory #NostalgiaTrip #PopCulture #PodcastFun

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 402 BKR 1987 Wall Street Vs Platoon

    🎬 Hop into the Escape Pod and hit rewind! Episode 402 of the iKnowBadeaux Podcast takes us back to 1987 for another round of Be Kind Rewind, and this time we're putting two very different movies from the same legendary filmmaker head-to-head. We're talking Oliver Stone's Platoon vs. Wall Street! On one side, you've got Platoon, the brutal and unforgettable Vietnam War drama that put audiences right in the middle of the chaos, fear, and moral uncertainty of combat. On the other, there's Wall Street, where the battlefield moves from the jungle to the world of high finance, greed, ambition, and Gordon Gekko's legendary mantra: "Greed is good." Two movies. One director. Two completely different worlds. Which one holds up? What made these movies so memorable? And what does 1987 tell us about the way movies were tackling war, money, power, and American culture? Mayor Dave, Gabe, Scotty Pizza, and Jesse are back in the Escape Pod to break it all down, with plenty of nostalgia, laughs, arguments, and probably a few opinions that should have stayed on the trading floor. Be Kind Rewind 1987 continues!   #iKnowBadeaux #BeKindRewind #Platoon #WallStreet #OliverStone #MichaelDouglas #CharlieSheen #WillemDafoe #TomBerenger #1987Movies #80sMovies #80sNostalgia #MoviePodcast #MovieRewind #FilmHistory #RetroCinema #MovieNostalgia #PopCulture #1987 #Podcast

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 401 Be Kind Rewind RoboCop

    🚀 Jump into the Escape Pod and rewind to 1987 for one of the craziest movies ever made! RoboCop. This week on the iKnowBadeaux Podcast, Mayor Dave, Gabe, Scotty Pizza, and Jesse Huber dive headfirst into the absolute insanity of RoboCop—both on the screen and behind it. 🤖 On screen, you've got a dystopian Detroit, a corporation trying to privatize law enforcement, ED-209, Clarence Boddicker, ridiculous commercials, outrageous violence, and a cop who gets murdered and brought back as a freaking ROBOT. And somehow... it all works. But the story behind the movie may be even crazier. 🎬 We dig into the making of RoboCop, the risks the filmmakers took, the practical effects, the infamous violence, the bizarre humor, and all the strange decisions that somehow came together to create one of the most unique movies of the 1980s. From "I'd buy that for a dollar!" to ED-209's complete inability to navigate stairs, RoboCop was unlike anything audiences had seen before—and we're breaking down exactly why. It's violent. It's hilarious. It's satirical. It's completely bonkers. And underneath all that madness is a surprisingly sharp movie about corporations, consumerism, crime, television, and what it means to be human. 🎧 Hit play and find out how RoboCop went from completely insane idea to 80s cinematic classic.   #iKnowBadeaux #BeKindRewind #RoboCop #RoboCop1987 #PeterWeller #OCP #ED209 #ClarenceBoddicker #80sMovies #80sNostalgia #ActionMovies #SciFiMovies #MoviePodcast #RetroCinema #FilmHistory #MovieNostalgia #80sAction #PopCulture #1987 #Podcast
