Jordan and Alex shake off the funk of 40,000 years to investigate Michael Jackson’s epochal hit “Thriller” and its equally iconic music video! While conceding it’s no “Monster Mash,” the pair delve deep into the track, from its original title “Starlight” to the tricks employed by the engineer who recorded it. They’ll also go long on the music video, from the former Playmate who starred in it — and got in some quality time with Jackson behind the scenes — to the Hollywood royalty who worked on it. They’ll also moonwalk their way through bits on Vincent Price’s monologue — and the time he showed Johnny Carson how to cook salmon in a dishwasher — and how Jackson’s album quite literally saved a flagging record industry. Too Much Information: No one’s gonna save you from the pod about to strike!
