PodStallions #15: Rod Serling

This month’s show is a celebration of Television icon Rod Serling and is exploration of his career and legacy. Even though he passed away in the mid 1970s, he had an impact on pop culture that is still strongly felt today. Episode 15 talks about his life, the Twilight Zone and his career after that […]

Podstallions 14: Filmation Part One

We’ve probably mentioned Filmation in every one of our shows (it’s our anniversary BTW, what did you get us?) so it’s no surprise that Jason and myself are huge fans of the legendary animation company. Episode one explore our earliest memories of Filmation and tries to relay the Saturday morning experience, look for a longer […]

Pod Stallions 13: Trek Kids

Star Trek is the main course in this month’s episode, that is right after Brian brings up My Little Pony for absolutely no good reason. As always, we open with our first memories of Star Trek and our love of the merchandise, particularly the Mego dolls, segwaying into the first two films and our feelings […]

Pod Stallions 12: Wish Book Kids

It’s December and we wouldn’t even have this site if it weren’t for the 70s Wish Book catalogs that magically landed on our door steps every fall. Episode 11 is dedicated to our crazy 70s Christmas memories, the letters to Santa, the arms length wantlist and how Star Wars just turned the whole thing into […]

Pod Stallions 11: Flash-Ahhhh!

Well, the subject of this episode can’t really be a surprise to anyone who has listened in the past.  Episode 11 is dedicated to Flash Gordon, not just the (wonderful) file from 1980 but the character itself and our first introductions to him, either from serial or the amazing Filmation animated series. We delve into […]

PodStallions Episode 10: Glows in the Dark (Monster Toys)

Our second October episode, Jason and Brain try to cram in as many monster toys as they can into an hour and a half.  Aurora model kits, Marvel comics, action figures by Tomland, Remco and Lincoln International get discussed as does Cracked magazine, Power Records, the number of times we rented “LifeForce” on VHS (I’ve […]

Pod Stallions Episode 9: Monster Kids

October brings out the best in us as both Jason and myself appear to be “Autumns”. More importantly, October serves as a countdown to Halloween and brings with it all sorts of memories of monsters and horror. Throughout this episode we explore our first experiences with the genre, what publications were most helpful and what […]

Pod Stallions Episode 8: Anderson is FAB

Seeing as it’s September 13th, there is no better time to talk about the creative force that was Gerry Anderson. Eventhough much of the man’s output was done before Jason and Brain were even an idea, their timeless quality has fans talking about them to this day.  The guys show the evolution in puppets from […]

Pod Stallions Episode 7: Battle Beyond the Star Wars

Originally we were going to do our Empire Strikes Back show but then realized that discussion of all the other Sci Fi properties of the late 1970s would have left us with a four hour show. So, Episode 7 lovingly talks about all those “other” SF movies of the disco era from the feety pajamas […]

Pod Stallions 5: Where are you coming from Spider-Man?

In this installment, Jason and Brain wax nostalgic over the days when we didn’t get spoiled by three Superhero movies a Summer. The time when Captain America had a van, Spider-Man was a Von Trap child and Sinestro used to open for Sinatra. “Where are you coming from Spider-Man” explores what a Superhero loving child […]
