  • 50 stars!!!

    Frank is a tour guide for every one of us who grew up during the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.

    Reliving those formative years.

    Who among us didn’t enjoy hooking up with Rocky and Bullwinkle?

  • Fantastic Show

    I love this show. If you liked Gilbert's show with Frank, this very much feels like a continuation of it. Frank Santopadre is a world class podcast host. His research and knowledge and sense of humor are unbelievable. I miss Gilbert so much. This podcast really helps soothe the pain. They have Gilbot. Many people that surrounded the show are still there. Same topics, guests. Even Mario Cantone was back for the Christmas show. My favorite. Try it out! You'll love it!

  • Limited appeal

    I really wanted to like this show but every episode is a bunch of old white guys talking over each other trying to impress each other with the most obscure references. Other pop culture appreciation shows bring you in--this one is like a 400-level college course the average listener will never be able to understand.
