Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast

GGACP celebrates the birthday (August 21) of our dearly-missed friend and colleague, Mike "McBeardo" McPadden with this ENCORE of a 2019 interview about Mike's informative and entertaining book "Teen Movie Hell." In this episode, Mike guides the boys through a history of coming-of-age comedies of the 1980s and '90s, including the good ("Risky Business," "Say Anything") the bad ("Playing for Keeps," "Getting Wasted") and the unbearable ("Gorp," "Pink Motel"). Also, "Porky's" starts a trend, John Hughes changes the game, Charles Fox pens the music of "Zapped!" and Mad magazine RESENTS "Up the Academy." PLUS: Eric Von Zipper! “The Last American Virgin”! In praise of "Heaven Help Us"! Christopher Lee goes slumming! And Gilbert looks back at his years on “USA Up All Night”! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
