This is a bit of a hybrid episode of the show. We welcome as
a guest the owner and ‘head man in charge’ of Orbit DVD in Ashville, NC – Mr.
Marc McCloud! Troy and I have known Marc for decades and were surprised when he
got in touch about his childhood trip to the Sid & Marty Krofft amusement
part. He joins us to relate his recollections of that 1976 adventure and his subsequent
fascination with lesser-known parks of the same kind. It makes for a lively
stroll down memory lane and adds some detail to our Pufnstuf conversation from episode
#167.
The show is bookended by email reactions to our PUFNSTUF
show with regular correspondent Kurt’s Burning Man tale being a must-hear trip
into unreality. Those Krofft creations are still able to conjure the most
interesting flashbacks to a 1970’s childhood! Other emails include a list of
favorite sword & sandal movies from one writer and a question about the
level of detail we can now find in UHD and Blu-Ray discs. Is it always a good
thing? We discuss that at length along with a few extra topics that branch off
naturally. As you might realize, the show goes on much longer than I expected!
