In this fast-paced episode of The 70s Vs The 80s, we drop the puck

(and the puck-shaped paddles) on two iconic arcade games: Bubble Hockey

and Air Hockey. We ask the experts: where do these legendary tables rank

in the all-time pantheon of games? You might think of them as glorified

rec room relics—but wait until you hear how high one of them scores on

the leaderboard of greatness. Spoiler: one has a cult following you

didn’t even know existed.

Then in our People Who Died segment, we remember a football player

who did almost everything right—until he made perhaps the most infamous

mistake in NFL history. A play that haunts highlight reels and defined a

career in one fateful moment.



Next up, we pay tribute to a rock star who blurred every line and

broke every rule—funky, fearless, and decades ahead of his time. And we

close with a salute to a songwriter so legendary that even your favorite

band probably covered him… whether they admit it or not.



Puck drops now. Let’s play.

Ever find yourself in a heated debate over whether the original Star Wars outshines The Empire Strikes Back, or if a Big Mac truly holds up against a Whopper? Those are the kinds of timeless, oddly specific clashes that fuel The 70s vs The 80s. From Secret Suburbs Studios, this podcast dives headfirst into the cultural battleground defined by two iconic decades. Each episode is a deep, often hilarious, and surprisingly thoughtful dissection of the era's biggest rivalries, from the superhero showdown of Lou Ferrigno versus Christopher Reeve to the cereal aisle controversy of Froot Loops versus Trix. We're talking about the films, the TV shows, the fast-food feuds, and the pop culture phenomena that still spark arguments today. It's more than just nostalgia; it's a forensic and fun examination of what made these periods distinct, and why our allegiances to things like Rocky or Rocky IV, Bo & Luke or Coy & Vance, run so deep. You'll hear passionate cases built for each side, blending comedy with genuine cultural review, all while trying to settle the score on whether the '70s or the '80s ultimately wins. Tune in for a conversation that feels like hanging out with friends who take their bubble gum brands-Hubba Bubba versus Bubble Yum, naturally-very seriously. This podcast is for anyone who lived it, or for anyone curious about the decades that shaped so much of today's entertainment and society.
