S6:E4 – Pizza Hut 1981

The squeaky clean image of Pizza Hut in the early 80s didn’t last too long. You can only go through so many neon aerobic workout videos before it changes a person or a company. By the 90s anyone and everyone was hocking PS1 demo discs and cassette tapes and we learned it from Father Pizza Hut. We emulated our pizza lord and pizza savior for a taste of that personal pan freedom. The reign was short lived; soon other pizza deities would come into the space and we had no room in our heard for a vengeful, midwestern God of a pizza chain. The other guys had ticket games and Mortal Kombat II and we were hungry. Always hungry. Still, we find a red see-through cup from time to time and think about where we came from, in the dim glow of Tiffany lamps illuminating our path. You sigh. Your hometown screams. Ahhhhh.

S6:E3 – Mr. Clean Commercial 1990

Melissa is calling again. She wants to talk. It’s too much. The older boy can’t handle it. His weekly paycheck at the Kum & Go gas station is going straight to bathroom cleaning products. The younger brother is scrubbing away every night making sure the bathroom shines before Melissa inevitably calls again. He doesn’t see the same bald man giving him the wink of a job well done that everyone else does. He only sees himself. He, doing the dirty job noone else is willing to do. All with a bottle of Mr. Clean by his side. He doesn’t know why he’s even doing it. He just can’t stand to see it dirty. He wonders why their mother doesn’t put a stop to this in between her power meetings and power lunches. A voice in the back of his mind tells him this is all part of his training. His training sucks. The whole situation sucks. But still he scrubs. And scrubs. And scrubs.

Aaron Littleton is your host this week and he’s looking for an unnecessarily large bathroom for his next house. John Hurst is your co-host and and he’s got bones (not words) to pick with the vocabulary of Wordle.

S6:E2 Powerman 5000 “When World Collides” Music Video

ARE. YOU. READY TO. GO?!
CAUSE. I’M READY. TO GO!
ARF. ARF ARF ARF. ARF ARF!?
BABY, BABY!

Powerman 5000! 5000 men of power! Colliding worlds! Wearing goggles! Getting stuck with powers beyond their control to fight the evil who is stopping their concert! It’s all very Ultra Mega. Nowadays, to get that Ultra Mega you just have to go to a one of the many dance party Saturday at DragonCon. It’s in limited quantities and we have to preserve it so that the next generation can have a little of that healthy industrial mega-ness. It’s to be cared for alongside this planet. So let’s put on some goggles and get ready to go! Cause I’m ready to go and oh crap it’s in my head now.

John Hurst is your host this week and he’s ready to get physically thrown into space. Aaron Littleton is your co-host and he’s wanting to try on those goggles. Neither host went to Space Camp and this is important.

S6:E1 – The A-Team TV Theme Tune

Here in the year Two Thousand and Twenty Two, we at Video Death Loop can never be as cool as people who wreck cars for Hollywood. We especially wouldn’t want to get in the way of those who wrecked Jeeps for the A-Team back in the day, because we’re pretty sure they could still wreck us. We don’t want to run into them in the grocery store and they find a conveinent, highly convoluted way to flip our cart with all our delicious fruits and vegetables over a convienent ramp next to the flowers. We know that way lies madness and damnation. And with madness and damnation comes George Peppard, happily smoking away on a cigar despite the no smoking signs (and alarms) all around him. The A-Team always get their mark. At least we know we’re going to have a kick-ass stunt course to jump through on the way home. Thanks, “_/Stunty69-420”. I’m proud to call you my neighbor.

Aaron Littleton is your host this week and he suddenly realized we do this show without a script. John Hurst is your co-host and he is being very podcast professional to ring in the new year.
