Episode 19: 80s Music - The Soundtrack of Marc's Life Part 2
Marc and Kristina explore the foundations of hair metal and the new romantic movement in this episode. Its the second of a three episode arc about 80s music. Digressions include the significance of MTV, Kristina's imposter syndrome, and Beavis and Butthead as the greatest music critics of the 20th century. We LOVE the 80s and we're just going to hang out in this decade for the next couple of weeks until the cluster that is already 2021 blows over. It was just better then.
