A pet story that needs to be heard to be believed. The anniversary of the world's most popular Napoleon. Some people who had their 15 minutes of fame in the 1980s.
Episode 148 of the podcast is a crazy collection of nostalgic fun.
We kick the show off with an anniversary. 20 years ago this week a small, low-budget indie flick burst onto the scene. It was insanely quotable and infinitely hilarious. What was it that made this movie so popular? We'll dive into it as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the modern-day classic Napoleon Dynamite.
Many of us grew up with beloved pets in our homes. The host is no different. A liker of dogs but a lover of cats I was blessed to have many incredible animals share their lives with me. However, there was one pet, a cat named Solo, who was the most unique animal to reside in my childhood homes. I will take you way Back In the Day to tell the strange but true story of Solo the Cat.
Artist Andy Warhol popularized the concept of 15 Minutes of Fame. This week's Top 5 is going to shine a spotlight on some such people from the 1980s. We will look back at some of those who became celebrities, maybe even big-time celebrities, but faded away as the 80s drew to a close.
There is as always a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking at the invention of something known as an Automat(Hint: It has to do with food).
