That Thing You Do! was Tom Hanks' debut as a writer and director that chronicled the rise and fall of a fictional garage rock band called The Wonders in 1964. Climbing the charts with their hit single that doubles as the namesake of the film, the band went from local talent shows to Hollywood prime-time TV in only a matter of months. Co-hosts Jon and Mark revisit this hurricane of 1960's rock stardom led by Hanks himself as Mr. White.

Metallica entered the early 2000s at a crossroads. Without a bass player and without a sense of direction, the remaining members forged on with a therapy coach and a documentary film crew in their quest to complete the 2003 album "St. Anger." The result was the overly long, reality TV-vibe induced, Some Kind of Monster. Co-hosts Jon and Mark make their way through this journey from the military barracks at Presidio to the stage at MTV Icon.

This monster lives... but he's in therapy!

KISS were at their commercial peak when they brought KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park to television screens in 1978. To be a little more accurate, the second-highest rated made-for-TV movie of 1978. Co-hosts Jon and Mark dissect the mysterious on-goings at a theme park run amok by the creations of the (recently fired) mastermind Mr. Devereaux. With rock n' roll, kung-fu, talismans, and the ability to fly, only the real KISS can save the day.

You wanted the best... but you got this instead!
