This edition of Geekville Radio's Nostalgia Trip is devoted to the 1960s pop sensation The Monkees. While the TV show may have only lasted for two seasons, it has been revered for generations as an inspiration for mixing music, video, and comedy. It also enjoyed years of success in syndication.The Monkees were a made for TV band in 1966, partially in response to BeatleMania and the successful movie A Hard Day's Night. They were all cast and given band member roles by the studio. They were not a band that formed organically. As such, there have been misconceptions and misinterpretations about the group over the years. This show hopes to straighten out some of those misconceptions.

We are debuting a new segment that we like to call it Geekville Radio's Nostalgia Trip. The debut edition of Geekville Radio's Nostalgia Trip is devoted to the classic 1980s TV show The Dukes Of Hazzard. Seth "Zandrax" Zillmann and "Crazy Train" Jonathan Bolick talk the history of the show and why it is so iconic almost 40 years later. As ardent fans know, Dukes was actually spun off of a 1975 feature film Moonrunners, which had a very similar vibe. Both that film and the TV series were created by Gy Waldron, and are based on the stories of Jerry Rushing. Crazy Train provides a brief course in moonshine whiskey and moonshine running. How well do you know the background of Bo, Luke, Daisy, and Uncle Jesse? No matter your level of Dukes fandom, you might learn a few things. Which Duke was a Vietnam Vet? Which was a star football player in high school? And of course, what good are the heroes without the villains? JD "Boss" Hogg, Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane, Deputies Enos Strate and Cledus Hogg made up the recurring antagonists for The Duke family. Then of course there were the out of town strangers that would be up to no good each week. Seth and Train also dive into the 1982-83 season which had the controversial replacement Dukes, Coy and Vance. But perhaps most importantly, they talk the vehicles. The General Lee - 1969 Dodge Charger Boss Hogg's Car - White 1970 Cadillac De Ville Convertible Daisy's Car (Season 1 & 2) - Yellow Plymouth Roadrunner. Also possible Dodge Challenger substitution Dixie (Daisy's Car Seasons 2-7) - Jeep CJ-7 Uncle Jesse's Truck - Early 1970s Ford F Series Pickup Cooter's Tow Trucks - Various International, GMC, and Ford Tow Trucks Police Cars - 1970s Dodge Monaco, Late 1970s Plymouth Fury. Another notable trait of the show was the number of guest stars who either were big stars, or went on to become big time actors. 70s villains Charles Napier and William Smith. Steven Williams (21 Jump Street), Jonathan Frakes of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame, Henry Gibson (Laugh In), Richard Moll (Night Court), Ernie Hudson, James Avery (Shredder from TMNT), Gerald McRaney, Dick Sargent, Dennis "Mr. Belding" Haskins, Pat Buttram, and many others. While Hazzard Country Georgia may not actually exist, Train does provide geographical evidence as to where Hazzard County would be on a map if it did. Don't believe us? Listen to Train's evidence and you'll hear why. If you're a 70s kid like Train, an 80s kid like Seth, or even came to love Dukes Of Hazzard after the fact, there is something for you in this edition of Geekville Radio's Nostalgia Trip. Our goal is that, regardless of your level of fandom, you'll enjoy this podcast and maybe even learn something about what was arguably the most "Southern" TV show to ever air on television. As mentioned during the show, Crazy Train has amassed a list of Outlaw Country songs for Spotify, which fit perfectly with the attitude of Dukes Of Hazzard.
