Episode 176: "A Mom for Christmas" (1990)
Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️We are back with another brand-new episode of Radical Retro Rewind and this week we are celebrating the holidays with a Rob for Christmas. Our favorite movie geek Rob returns to join Ryan and David as we tackle the uniquely charming and completely confusing TV holiday favorite "A Mom for Christmas" from 1990!We unpack all the big questions, starting with how Olivia Newton-John nearly burns down the main character’s house with absolutely no reaction...the neon glow, the harlequin doll themed department store chaos, and the oddly creepy moments that somehow still end up feeling warm and festive. Also, public safety tip from Radical Ones. Just don’t decorate your tree with real candles like Victorian London!Originally airing on NBC on December 17, 1990, this marked Olivia Newton-John’s very first made for TV movie and it truly lives in a holiday category all its own. Grab the cocoa, plug in the Christmas lights, and join us for magic mannequins, retail romance, holiday logic that makes no sense at all!"The story follows 11-year-old Jessica Slocum (played by Juliet Sorci), who lost her mother at a young age. With her father, Jim (Doug Sheehan), being a workaholic and emotionally distant, Jessica feels the absence of maternal love deeply. Just before Christmas, she wins a free wish from a wishing well and wishes for a mother. Her wish is granted when Amy Miller, a department store mannequin brought to life by Philomena (Doris Roberts), becomes her temporary mother figure. However, Amy can only stay until Christmas Eve, leading to a heartwarming and magical journey as Jessica tries to keep her new mom in her life.”Stars: Olivia Newton-John, Juliet Sorci, Doug Sheehan, and Doris Roberts.⚡️Rob's Instagram: /⁠⁠⁠Brunch With The Halliwells⁠⁠⁠⚡️Davids Instagram⚡️Radical Ryan's InstagramPlease Like 👍 Comment 📝 Subscribe ✔️ to support the channel!⁠⁠THUNDERCATS INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM ⁠⁠⁠⁠TWITTER⁠⚡️For Business Inquiries & Beyond: [email protected] Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

ThunderCats Reviews Bonus Number Ten: "Trials of Temptation: Ma-Mutt Takes Down The Pussycats!” By Metesh!
Welcome Back Bunglers! ⚡Ryan and David are back with a brand new bonus episode and we are starting things off with some exciting news about upcoming guest episodes. We have incredible conversations on the way and cannot wait to share them with all of you.Before we dive into today’s chaos, we also have a wonderful message from a fellow Bungler named Chris that absolutely made our day. (Please follow his retro toy account!)After that, we jump right into another fantastic What If story by our brilliant Bungler Metesh:"In this wild two-part ThunderCats parody tale, Karen the Unicorn Keeper recounts how Maa-Mutt tried to eliminate the ThunderCats the night before The Last Day by summoning the almighty HOA, who sent two irresistible cosmic beings, Ravishing Ryan and Delicious David, to tempt each ThunderCat with personalized “Trials of Temptation.” Cheetara is seduced by endless gold, Tygra is forced into motivational-speaker rehab duty, Panthro meets his 2011 counterpart and a fleet of ThunderTanks, the ThunderKittens age into fashionable shopaholics trapped in an eternal mall-daycare, and Pumyra is offered a noble chance to save Thunderian refugees across the galaxy. Even Lion-O and Bengali face a steamy, dinner-and-dance test of self-control. But Maa-Mutt’s plan collapses when Lynx-O escapes his VR prison and rescues everyone, just as Snarf and Snarfer return from their all-inclusive Snarf YMCA vacation. The tale ends with Karen reminding everyone that the real heroes, the angelic Radical Brothers from Beyond, can always be found on Radical Retro Rewind?! every Friday."⚡⁠Martin Barreby - A Vehicle Theme⁠⚡Please Like 👍 Comment 📝 and Subscribe ✔️ to support the channel!⁠⁠⁠THUNDERCATS INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TWITTER⁠⁠⚡️For Business Inquiries Email: [email protected] Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
