In this week's episode of the All New Branded in the 80s podcast I talk a little bit about the Marty McFly Theorem, or how there are really two completely different Marty McFlys in the first Back to the Future film.  If you want to chat about the show, send me an e-mail at smurfwreck@gmail.com.

On this week's episode of the new Branded in the 80s podcast I take a moment to make a confession.  I was an 80s skateboarding poser.  I talk a bit about my obsession with the skating culture, the boards I had as a kid, and how being a frightened poser affected my life as a preteen.

In this episode of the All New Branded in the 80s podcast I dig a little deeper into one of my favorite 80s era anthems, the badass Thunder in Your Heart by John Farnham from the soundtrack to the 1986 cult BMX film Rad.  I recently discovered that two of my other favorite 80s era anthem musicians, Stan Bush (who wrote and performs The Touch for the 1986 Transformers movie) & Joe Esposito (who performed You're the Best from the Karate Kid soundtrack) have also covered this song.  I dig into the three versions, talk a bit about their similarities and differences and then play a new remix that consists of all three versions of the song.

On this episode of the all new Branded in the 80s podcast I spend little time talking about one of my favorite 80s era collectibles, movie tie-in novelizations!  I cover a bit of the reason why I love them as a concept before diving into some discussion talking all about the 1985 Ghostbusters: A Supernatural Spectacular novel.  I cover some extended and deleted scenes as well as some all new material that wasn't either in the script or the finished film.
