Our *second* bonus show for February is here! We’re doing a little Q&A session, with inquiries from listeners about everything from food mascots to VHS covers. It’s all very casual!

Questions include:

1. Do you have a vague memory of something that you’ve never been able to properly identify?

2. What food mascot deserves a return to fame?

3. What’s a movie you’ve never seen that you developed your own story for, with only the old VHS box art to guide you?

4. What are you looking forward to doing most in a post-pandemic world?

(You guys can feel free to answer those questions yourselves, in the comments!)

We very much enjoy doing these, and decided that we’ll sprinkle them in more often than we have been -- which, lucky you, probably means more DOUBLE BONUS MONTHS in the future!

Thanks for your support, and we’ll be back in March with another big show and another Patreon bonus ep!

I have a memory of a short lived candy that I liked. It was a chewy fruit flavored candy released around 1989, and I distinctly remember the commercial was a cartoon snake with sort of a geometric pattern... triangles on it maybe? I have looked everywhere and cannot figure out what it was called! Drives me crazy!

Damn it feels good to be a Patrony! 🦄

I remember the Fig Newton commercials like they were on YESTERDAY.... "Here's the Tricky Part!"... "One More Time!" LMBO!!

I've talked about my #1 in the blog comments before. It's a Christmas present I got from my mom (aka Santa) in 1989. It was my favorite present that year and I took it with me when my dad took us to visit my grandparents (a 10 hour trip at the time - we were allowed to bring one toy to play with in the car). All I remember about it is that it came in a cardboard briefcase with a white plastic handle. The outside was painted gray and I can't remember what was on the inside. As such, I'm having a heck of a time finding it online. I've spent several years looking for it and it's driving me nuts! I even purchased and looked through all of the catalogs I might have used to create my list that year (ie. Sears, JCPenney, Service Merchandise and Radio Shack). No luck.

Man, Jay's first answer fucked me up so much. I have literally almost the exact thing, at our mall there was a nook in the food court that was designed almost like a playplace for kids to sit and eat. It was decorated like a circus and even had like cages with giant stuffed animals. There were two sets of stairs to go up to a higher area and on the wall of one of them was a framed picture of a giant group of clowns. I was scared to death of clowns when I was a kid so I vividly remember it. I've searched so much for pictures of this area but no luck😢

Mine was a book about a chameleon who got trapped in a pickle factory. I used to get it from a library in Florida when we were staying there while my dad was on a special project. I happened to mention it on Twitter last summer and someone on Twitter knew the title. (Chameleon is a Spy) I looked it up on Amazon and found a used copy in decent condition and ordered it.

I remember this 90s commercial. It was for jeans, probably levis. It starts in the 1800s and a group of men and women gather for a photograph. Then they join again and its the 1990s. They ended up being vampires. I saw this add once and never again, not even on YouTube.

“What if Krull was the eyeball movie”, Lol, so brilliant

I really want to figure out what this eyeball movie is. Update: searching for this is bringing up some seriously disturbing things.

I can relate to Jay's first answer too! My mall had a nook in it where there was almost nothing but a couple of potted plants, one of those stone benches and a massive wall hanging. The thing was massive to 5 year old me. It was made from metal, painted gold and vaguely sun shaped, but also spiral-like. If you took the sun-like logo from The Gong Show, mixed it with the spiky side of the mothership from Close Encounters and the Mystics' sand painting from The Dark Crystal, that's about the best as I could describe it. I was fascinated by that thing and I had no idea why. I wish I could see that thing again!

Matt, are you sure that your eye movie wasn't the 1st episode of mst3k, The Crawling Eye? Not a mascot, but I want Kristi Yamaguchi back on the Special K box like when I was 8 years old
