Pod Stallions Episode 92: 70s Variety Shows

Mantooth — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 21:24:59 +0000

All loyal listeners of Pod Stallions know we live by the ‘variety is the spice of life’ philosophy, so we thought it was time we celebrated that. In this episode, we welcome producer/clip expert Steve Kozak to our third chair, and we discuss the “variety special” trends of the 70s & 80s, and deep dive into The Star Wars Holiday Special, in advance of Steve’s upcoming doc ‘A Disturbance in the Force‘ (Jason is a producer on it, too!).

Along the way Wolfman Jack, Quincy, John Vernon, Paul Lynde, and Shields & Yarnell (naturally) get mentions. ‘Alice’ will not be seen tonight, so we can bring you this Pod Stallions SPECIAL presentation!

Pod Stallions 20: Watching the Detectives

Mantooth — Fri, 15 Aug 2014 04:00:00 +0000

Episode 20 is inexplicably a Quinn Martin Production and has us exploring the phenom of 70s detective shows and also has us kind of trying to figure what qualifies as a detective show (we don’t quite see eye to eye).

Regardless, as children we sure did watch a lot of people getting murdered. We discuss the Columbos, Rockfords, MacMillans and Wives, Banaceks and Cannons of our childhood, the merchandising magic of Kojak and Starsky and Hutch.

We also go way, way off track, with discussions about Jamie Farr and Three Stooges, I’m sorry.

Episode 20 will hopefully have you asking “Just one more thing”

Kojak got not only an action figure but a freaking playset? Yet, I got no Sleestak figures as a child, totally fair.

The Starsky and Hutch Mego figures are awesome
The Police Woman figures were actually repackaged versions of a British toys called HAVOK.

Drool over the amazing Jumbo Machinders!
