In this short special episode, Kevin and Mike build off their discussion of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to discuss other weird characters from the 1980s - like Max Headroom, Mr. T, and Sgt. Slaughter. What's the difference between a character and a comedic persona? Where does professional wrestling fit into all of this? Why would anyone spend this much time obsessing over obscure pop culture from 40 years ago? Why, in a podcast ostensibly about skateboard movies, does this episode mention neither movies or skateboarding?
All this and more is discussed in this short, special episode of GLEAMING THE TUBE!
