Back Through The Basement Episode 33 - Lite Brite and Falkor

Back Through The Basement

Today’s episode was supposed to take place in the Yellow Room/Editing Bay but Julee surprises Tom by starting off in the Basement!! Why?!! Because when you come across a classic vintage toy you haven’t seen in decades, you just can’t sit on that! As a challenge, Julee whistles the commercial jingle before showing Tom – it’s for a point!! Do you think he can guess it? Turn on the magical colored lights and try stopping that song from getting stuck in your head. (Best of luck.) Don’t worry though, we got ya covered with an equally catchy (and elaborate) rendition of The NeverEnding Story theme song! Join them for their patented “rabbit hole”-ing in this fun and quirky episode!
Now in their forties, Julee and Tom Antonellis are reconnecting as brother and sister in THE MOST distant a socially-distant podcast can be in the United States. While recording on each coast (and seeing each other over FaceTime) all the way from Los Angeles (Tom) to Boston (Julee), they start unearthing the core lessons, laughs and connections of their childhood. Plus, Julee has to fight her fear of cobwebs while Tom enjoys the comfort of his office -- yet he CAN'T touch his beloved toys like she can.
As their Instagram bio indicates -- @backthroughthebasementpod -- you can follow them there to see pictures of everything they unearth -- Tom & Julee (actors, comics, voiceover artists & siblings), children of the 80s, must go through all their toys and belongings in their parents’ basement. Oh boy!
