Too Much Information

'Too Much Information' is a new iHeartRadio podcast that gives you the secret history, behind-the-scenes details and little-known fascinating facts about your favorite movies, music, TV shows and more. The series is brought to you by two trivia titans with too much free time. Jordan Runtagh and Alex Heigl are big-time pop culture nerds and longtime listicle writers who've worked at Rolling Stone, People, Entertainment Weekly, VH1, and Page Six. Now they're let off the leash and ready to dive deep into a different beloved entertainment classic three times a week. Get ready for everything you never knew about 'Rugrats,' 'Hook,' "Dancing Queen," Sonic the Hedgehog, 'Jeopardy,' 'Top Gun,' 'Jagged Little Pill'...The list goes on, and so will these guys. But in a good way. Promise.

    "YMCA" by Village People: Everything You Didn't Know

    Your disco divos of details are here once again with a truly epic tangent-rich episode that somehow manages to link this glorious bit of '70s sonic spray-cheese to CIA mind control experiments, 9/11 and the DC hardcore punk scene. In addition to diving into disco's origins as the music of the dispossessed in 1960s New York, you'll hear how the Village People originated from a Frenchman's festive outing in Greenwich Village and the hilarious way he assembled his supremely buff group of stereotypes. Get ready to discover the complex confluence of socio-political factors that lead the titular charitable organization to become a homosexual hot spot; hear the depressing fate of the IRL YMCA location that inspired the song; and learn about the surprising controversy concerning the song's meaning — which led to threats of legal action from its (straight) lyricist. And, of course, they'll get into the dark psychology of the goddamn dance. Sure, "YMCA" will probably be stuck in your head for the next few days, but the TMI guys promise: this ep is worth it.  Support your friendly neighborhood TMI Guys here! https://ko-fi.com/toomuchinformationpodcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Bewitched: Everything You Didn't Know

    The TMI guys are back with their most epic episode yet, diving DEEP into the bewitching television classic and its hidden history as a groundbreaking queer/feminist text. You'll learn all about the behind-the-scenes drama that led to the legendary Darrin switch, the twisted on-set love triangle, and the distressingly high number of cast members who died during production. Dick York's Dickensian childhood represents the darkest moment in the podcast's history, rivaled possibly by the mysterious death that haunted Paul "Uncle Arthur" Lynde for the rest of his life. (Jordan's attempts to lighten the mood with his 'Hollywood Squares' one-liners only goes so far.) You'll also discover the show's surprising connection to the JFK assassination, OJ Simpson, atomic bomb testing, and the Lockerbie bombing — and hear all about that one Christmas episode written by a bunch of children that wound up with the cast wearing blackface.

    Scream: Everything You Didn't Know

    The TMI Guys dive deep on the meta '90s horror classic that did for cordless phones with 'Psycho' did for showers. You'll learn all about the secret story Drew Barrymore told herself to summon real tears during the iconic opening scene (which was originally written as a one act play!), the surprising early choices for the part of Sidney Prescott, the controversial origins of the Ghostface mask, and all the ways director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson broke new ground with their cast of terrorizing teens.  Support your friendly neighborhood TMI Guys here! https://ko-fi.com/toomuchinformationpodcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    FROM THE VAULT: "The Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett: Everything You Didn't Know

    Alex and Jordan continue their TMI Halloween Spooktacular celebration by delving into the creation of this deathless novelty number that pays tribute to the golden age of monster movies. You'll learn about the wildly prolific (and possibly legally insane) producer behind the track, its tentative ties to James Brown, the early '60s pop royalty who sang on it, and Bobby Pickett's dogged attempts to continually update his song with the times. They'll also talk about Elvis' burning hatred of "The Monster Mash," and a brief history of novelty dance crazes and the evolution of the horror genre.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Tales from the Crypt: Everything You Didn't Know

    Gore-dan and HELL-ex take a dive into the musty vaults of the early '90s to unearth the SLASHinating facts behind "Tales From the Crypt," arguably the scariest thing to come out of Joel Silver's career, except for all the things that haven't been unsealed! [incredibly irritating high-pitched laugh] But yes, that's right BOILs and GHOULS, they're looking into the HBO phenomenon that turned a desiccated corpse with a Borscht Belt sensibility into a household name -- and no, we're not talking about Don Rickles! Your pals of putrescence dive into the history of EC Comics, the trailblazing comics label that provided the source material, the weird German guy (not that one) who killed them off, and the wave of nostalgia that carried four of Hollywood's biggest power players in the '80s and '90s to create a well-funded, creatively free long-running project that everyone was excited to be a part of! They'll tackle the positively insane guest list cast, the weird spin-offs, how much Dennis Miller sucks, and other spooooooooky things like budgets and Nielsen ratings!

    Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Everything You Didn't Know

    Your final answers of frivolity are here to tell you all about this titanic trivia franchise that burned fast and bright across the Y2K landscape. In addition to Jordan's personal anecdotes from his traumatic time on the show, you'll learn about all the ways the set and music was designed to psychologically break contestants and hear all about the victorious few who made good on the show's titular promise and walked away with the million dollars. In addition to trying your hand at some of the million dollar questions yourself, you also hear the ins and outs of one player's brazen attempts to (allegedly) defraud the show — which earned him jail time. From Regis Philbin's melt-down on live TV to the truly badass move made by the show's first winner, Jordan and Alex are the only lifelines you need for all the facts about 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'!

    'Crocodile' Dundee: Everything You Didn't Know

    Your bushmen of balanity have returned to take you on a tour of the Australian outback with Paul Hogan's iconic creation — a one-man ambassador for the local charm and natural beauty found down under...or a one-man stereotype, depending on your point of view. You'll learn all about the truly insane real-life story that kinda-maybe-sorta inspired the plot, the tabloid love triangle that emerged from the production, the late Aussie rock star who helped bring the movie to the big screen, and all the ways it changed the face of tourism for an entire continent. Along the way you'll get the TMI guy's patented conversational diversions that touch on the finer points of autoerotic asphyxiation, Aussie outlaw Ned Kelly, bidets, opium, the meaning of the term "strewth," and so much more.  Support your friendly neighborhood TMI Guys here! https://ko-fi.com/toomuchinformationpodcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
