We often forget that artists might tune in to One Hit Thunder to hear us offer our sometimes misinformed and ALWAYS overly opinionated thoughts on their music. One of these artists — John Hampson of Nine Days — was gracious enough to not only listen to our episode on “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)”, but also to kindly send us a series of tweets correcting some things we didn’t get quite right. A few years later, he’s here with us to discuss a band that he spent a lot of time with on the road back in the day. Does Stroke 9’s “Little Black Backpack” make John want to tango, or does this catchy pop-rock classic make him want to bash his head in? Stay tuned to find out.

35 years ago the film Hairspray was released in theaters, the movie captured the energy of the many dance crazes at the time! To celebrate one of his favorite movies Producer Matt did a deep dive into the history of various 60’s novelty dances to see if Gelsey knows how to do some of the steps!

50 Years ago Shazam debuted into the world of comic books and to honor that we are discussing the 2019 film adaptation starring Zachary Levi! We are both burnt out on comic book movies but this one is undeniably fun.

This week Kirsten is suspicious of Sandy and Rachel. Caleb and Julie’s relationship is ousted and Seth gets two kisses!

This week we are joined by Cowboy Coder to discuss the Weird Al Country song tribute “Good Enough For Now”; a song so close to comedic rebel country rock it could have come out of David Allen Coe’s mouth.

The world needs to remember that plants are out to kill you, and Kyle is here to keep that thought fresh in our heads with his pick of BODY SNATCHERS (1993), the 3rd and arguably most critically-acclaimed take on Invasion of the Body Snatchers. If you watch closely, you might pick up that this version uses the military-industrial complex as a metaphor for loss of self as well as a corrosion on humanity for both alien plant people and the surviving humans. Blink and you’ll miss it, you can thank us later!

In 1996, two siblings from Belgium had an unexpected alternative hit that sounds unlike anything else from the era. The single “Not An Addict” caught fire and became an international hit, grabbing the attention of even Alanis Morissette, who handpicked the band to open for her on tour. Beyond diving into the track and the band, we force Matt Kelly to make some of his OWN K’s Choices in this fun and informative episode.

Now that the Titanic is back in theaters, Gelsey decided she wanted to teach us all about the building of the unsinkable ship (as well as various other fun facts). Get ready for a wild one!!

This week on the podcast Ryan is getting used to being at Harbor, Summer is keeping her feelings for Seth Private and Sandy accepts a case against Caleb!

You thought we were done celebrating 30 year anniversaries? Well think again, because we’re reanimating that concept for another week (and another, and another…) with Matt’s romantically ravenous pick MY BOYFRIEND’S BACK (1993). It’s got zombies, it’s got love, it’s got 50s throwback fashion – perfect for Valentine’s Day. Don’t argue with us or we’ll eat your stomach. Or a leg. Just a little nibble.

The story of T. Rex’s Marc Bolan is one of those rock n’ roll fables that seems so trite that it MUST have been written by some second-rate Hollywood screenwriter. The truth, however, is that Marc Bolan’s tale serves as the BASIS for these overused rock clichés, as he led a wild (and unfortunately short) life full of fame, excess, pageantry, and incredible music. This week, we’re joined by actor and musician Danny Tamberelli to dive into the history of the Godfather of Glam Rock. Together, we try to figure out how “Bang A Gong (Get It On)” was T. Rex’s only US hit, considering The Beatles themselves claim that T-Rextasy was bigger than Beatlemania ever was in the UK.

With the Oscars just a month away instead of our usual episode Producer Matt tests Gelsey’s knowledge of the Oscars by giving her a list of classic films and seeing if she can let us know if it won best picture or not! Have fun and play along!

Love is in the air this Valentine’s Day so at Christmas 365 we decided to watch Love Actually which is celebrating it’s 20 Year Anniversary this winter! In some ways, the movie is the masterpiece everyone says it is… but in other ways, the film really wants to romanticize infidelity!

This week the gang needs to break Marissa out of a mental hospital! Matt hates it, Joe justifies Julie Cooper’s existence and our guest Brooke hates Kirsten!

This week we are joined by Kelly Phillips who wrote an amazing graphic novel called “Weird Me” about her experiences growing up a die-hard Weird Al fan. She picked the Kinks homage “Don’t Wear Those Shoes” as the song she wanted to discuss this week!

Have you ever wished for a live-action Image Comics movie? No, Spawn doesn’t count – but maybe SPLIT SECOND (1992) does! It’s got Rutger Hauer, Kim Cattrall and half the cast of Braveheart so you know it’s good. Also, did we mention there’s a serial killing monster who eats hearts and definitely looks like it was designed by Rob Liefeld? How could this film not be super badass?? Find out this week on Horror Movie Night!

In the mid 70s, Wild Cherry thrived in all the funk and disco hot spots, from the Northern West Virginia panhandle to the Ohio Valley region. People were getting down to the sweet sounds of “Play That Funky Music” in Steubenville, Ohio, all the way to the bright lights of the big city…of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The groundswell created by the band’s popularity in these areas took the song all the way to #1 on the Billboard charts, which was unfortunately a peak they’d never come close to again. This week, we’re joined by John Franklin (The Circle Season 4) to discuss the history and legacy of Wild Cherry, a band that’s been the soundtrack to dancin’, singin’, movin’, groovin’, and one-night stands for decades.

This week we decided to focus on our Top 5 favorite SNL sketches by a specific performer, with the recent success of Netflix’s “You People” it seemed like a great time to look at Eddie Murphy’s career and pick our favorites!

In the last of our “New Christmas Films from 2022” we end with A Christmas Story Christmas; the sequel no one really asked for that HBO MAX gifted to us anyway. In a lot of ways it’s better than it has any right to be, but that still doesn’t mean it’s particularly good.

This week the gang leaves Newport Beach for a last second summer trip to T.J. when things gets DRAMATIC. We are joined by Team Goldie Mastermind and O.C. Diehard Matt DiStefano (who also composed our theme song) to discuss Episode 7 of The O.C. “The Escape”

This week we discuss Al’s parody of El Debarge’s “Who’s Johnny”. Al’s take on the song written for Short Circuit is an ode to Johnny Carson’s announcer Ed McMahon. Is Al’s song good or do we just really really really like the El DeBarge original?

Julie, Kathleen and Producer Matt are back after a year and a half and go over all the shows we’ve watched during our time away. Are we back? We’re not sure but for the time being enjoy us being best friends together and catching up!

Ah the 90s… the old days when men were men and led on underage girls who then unsurprisingly ruined their lives until getting punched across an attic. Don’t believe us? Then explain the 100% historically accurate THE CRUSH (1993), in which the writer got sued so hard by the family of the girl he based Alicia Silverstone’s character off of that they had to redub the whole thing after shooting was completed. The popularity of this film even kickstarted a small subgenre one might refer to as “lolita revenge” (but please don’t). Prepare to get you car keyed this week on Horror Movie Night!

Do you hate it when you show up to a date’s house in your best ripped jeans and leather jacket, only to be offered disgusting food by their scumbag mother? Well this episode’s for you! This week, we’re joined by my good buddy and bandmate Paul Menotiades to discuss Gerardo’s 1990 hit “Rico Suave”, a song that becomes infinitely more shocking when you dive into the lyrics. Oh, don’t worry…we do that in this episode. Our only addiction has to do with the one hit wonders, and today, we eat Gerardo raw like sushi.

In honor of the 50 Year Anniversary of Alice Cooper’s biggest album “Billion Dollar Babies” Gelsey and Producer Matt dive into his career and all the things that makes him the God-Father of Shock Rock!

Every Year there’s at least one new Christmas film that absolutely wins the year. In 2021 Dylan and Matt agreed that 8-Bit Christmas was that film, was Spirited the film that captures that title for 2022?
