With their heads held high, and their scarlet lies, CK-1 and DJ Serious came down from the open skies. They brought you here, but can they take you back again?

What's so intriguing about Dick? Sure, it's bursting with color and cartoon villains, but is it really for kids? Perhaps there's a quiet layer of mid-life emptiness lurking under the primary lights, snazzy costumes, Madonna's torch songs—along with h... more
The Notorious J.A.M. rejoins CK-1 for a dive into the cinematic surreality that failed to make Madonna the world's biggest movie star: The ultra-low-budget, revenge fever dream A Certain Sacrifice and the helium-voiced, screwball chaos of Who's That ... more
Eye to eye, we need no words at all… except we're gonna need a lot of words (plus one secret word) for Madonna's greatest '80s tunes and a couple of controversies. Your crazy co-host, Ms. AK-47, is back to recount an unhealthy Breakfast Club obsessio... more

DJ CK-1 (I wonder if he missed out on an OC class?) and the saving grace of the show, AK-47 who makes wonderful interjections such as “I’m going to do some washing” in the middle of indulgent monologs from her partner in crime. I wonder how these two stay married, but the creative friction is contrasting and funny in an awkward kinda way. CK-1 is full of nerdy passion and detail for his music choices. Oh, so much needless detail. Meanwhile AK-47 delivers hilarious one sentence reviews. It’s some... more
Loved the Kate Bush episode. So pleased to hear praise for Ariel disc 2 ♥️
Beautiful music, keep it up! Highly recommend.
Very personable hosts -- their witty banter is the reason I love to listen! But they are also extremely knowledgeable about '80s music. The editing is superb, smoothly integrating song clips that underscore the reviews and discussion. I love the use of the period advertisements as well -- very funny stuff.
For anyone with even a casual interest in retro-pop music, this is an the entertaining listen. The hosts are very likeable. I appeciate how they incorporate song clips so I can actually hear a little of what they're talking about. I only wish they would put out new stuff more often, but I'd take quality over quantity. Thus, it's an essential "subscribe."

The show leans into a playful, deeply informed celebration of 1980s music, pairing two semi-confrontational hosts as they count down beloved tracks, unpack production notes, and weave in personal memories. Episodes blend nerdy background details with entertaining banter, occasional pop culture tangents, and clips that illuminate why certain songs defined the era. A standout trait is the meticulous musical context and period authenticity, balanced by humor and strong listener engagement through mail and audience input. The format and host dynamics likely attract long-time 80s fans, music nerds, and listeners who enjoy detailed breakdowns with a retro vibe, while still being accessible to casual fans through lively storytelling and nostalgia-... more
