Prepare for immediate transport to the golden era as you enter the Retro Wave Zone with the Back in Time Brothers. This week, Lou and DJ Paulie are blasting off into the great unknown to explore the "Space Jams"—a cosmic mix of space-themed music, cinematic masterpieces, and chilling UFO encounters.

The Countdown: Top 10 Space Tracks

DJ Britt leads us through a stellar countdown of tracks that defined our obsession with the final frontier.

  • The Heavy Hitters: From the improvisational 1972 anthem "Space Trucking" by Deep Purple to the funky hip-hop transmissions of the Beastie Boys' "Intergalactic".
  • Atmospheric Voyages: Dive into the "spacey" vibes of Radiohead’s "Subterranean Homesick Alien" and the high-energy reflection of Switchfoot’s "Stars".
  • The Legends: Experience Elton John’s lonely journey in "Rocket Man" and the spiritual poetry of The Beatles' "Across the Universe".
  • The Major Tom Connection: We follow the character's evolution from Peter Schilling’s synth-pop hit "Major Tom" to the ultimate double-shot from the "Man Who Fell to Earth," David Bowie, with "Starman" and "Space Oddity".

The Silver Screen & The Small Screen

The brothers break down the greatest sci-fi franchises and series of all time:

  • Cinematic Giants: A countdown featuring the physics-bending visuals of Interstellar , the survival grit of The Martian , and the undisputed king of space opera, Star Wars.

  • TV Classics: From the 80s nostalgia of Stranger Things and the truth-seeking of The X-Files to the legendary, mind-bending marathons of The Twilight Zone.

Screen Talk: The Dark Side of Sci-Fi

Todd Snyder joins the show for a special "Screen Talk" segment, uncovering the deadly and dystopian side of the genre. He explores the tragic onset accident of Twilight Zone: The Movie , the global bans of A Clockwork Orange , and the bizarre production disasters of The Island of Dr. Moreau.
