It's no exaggeration when I say that this TV special has lived inside my subconscious for over 40 years, trying to claw its way to the surface. When you're dealing with material like this, you bring in the big guns, which is why SPECIAL GUEST Henry Bernstein is here to help me sift through my childhood angst and break down 1978's PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON! We start with Puff and end up at Superman...in between we discuss 70's animation trauma, unmade Bob Dylan cartoons and opine on why Adam West is an underrated Batman. Things get CRAZY, and I don't just mean the psychedelic storyboards used for this special! Join us as I unpack my psyche, won't you?!? It's a good one!

However your obsessions started, it was most likely in your basement, consuming the movies, music, TV shows, books and other pop culture that would shape your life. Join Mike Jamison and guests as they venture down into the POP CULTURE BASEMENT and discuss their unique experiences with the entertainment that made them who they are today!
