Welcome back to the Back in Time Brothers Radio Show, where your hosts DJ Paulie and Lou bring you 40 years of pop culture straight from the record crates to your ears!

This week, we are digging through the bargain bins to bring you "Diamonds in a Dumpster"—a hilarious and nostalgic look at the absolute worst albums released by legendary artists, and the one redeeming track that managed to survive the wreckage.

In this jam-packed episode, we’re serving up an incredible variety of retro goodness:

The Top 10 Countdown with Brit: We spin the "best of the worst" tracks from brilliant bands who completely missed the mark. Hear the chaotic backstories and the lone musical gems from Aerosmith's Nine Lives, The Rolling Stones' Dirty Work, Kiss's Unmasked, David Bowie's Never Let Me Down, and the disastrous Gary Cherone era of Van Halen.
Rock Talk with Todd Snyder: Take a deep dive down the rabbit hole of the most expensive and delayed rock album in history—Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy. Todd breaks down the insane 15-year, $13 million production that included a dog-poop-scented chicken coop for guitarist Buckethead, a spiritual "aura" reader, and a disastrous Dr. Pepper giveaway.
Movies Retro Style: DJ Paulie and Lou go head-to-head debating the best and worst actors to ever portray iconic movie characters. Find out who reigns supreme (and who failed miserably) playing Willy Wonka, Jack Ryan, Catwoman, Freddy Krueger, Robin Hood, and The Joker.
TV Time: We take a hilarious look at the worst television shows ever made that were canceled after just one single episode. You won't believe some of these premises, including a 1990 British sitcom with a jaw-droppingly offensive historical premise that was immediately yanked from the airwaves.
Busted! & Random Facts: As always, we kick things off with a roundup of the world's dumbest criminals—including a car thief who got caught because he was too busy playing Grand Theft Auto, and a diamond thief whose own coughing fit betrayed him. Plus, stick around for mind-blowing retro trivia about The Matrix digital rain, George Washington's real teeth, and the irony of ZZ Top.
