The Phantom of the Opera - When It Was Cool - Episode 141

-

Thankfully, this is the last "flu era" episode we have recorded. With both Karl and Tonya now feeling better we will get the podcasts back to normal again. But as they fight off the last vestiges of sickness, they take a night to turn down the lights, light some oil lamps, and watch one of the most famous early horror movies ever- The Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney (Sr.) and his famous make-up kit. Join us for this legendary 1925 silent movie classic (yet, still with a color scene!)

Karl and Tonya are back with the flagship podcast from WhenItWasCool.com to discuss a 1980s sitcom and a 1990s sitcom, both of which lasted multiple seasons.  Golden Girls and Family Matters were to very differently written shows and one seemed to resonate with us while the other one didn't and we also discuss how watching so many different sitcoms for multiple eras has been a learning experience. Plus a new segment debuts this show featuring news about people and properties of interest to retro pop culture fans. Check out this episode of the When It Was Cool Podcast
