Welcome, Chrononauts! Time Pop is back, and this episode is a special treat as we take you on a journey back to our very first episode recorded in January 2019. Join Des and Ari as they reminisce about the early days, discussing the 1990 cult classic "The Spirit of '76." This episode is filled with nostalgia, technical hiccups, and plenty of laughs as they navigate through the quirky, time-travel comedy set in the 1970s. Get ready for a blast from the past as we explore the film's campy charm, its unique take on time travel, and the unforgettable characters brought to life by the Reiner brothers. It's a wild ride through time, and we can't wait for you to join us!
