Episode 10 of the Retro Resurgence features two special guests, friends of the TRN Community Karen Flieger (@retrodolls77) and Chris Bailey (@beatles_toybox). The gang discuss all the major movies celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2025, including Back to the Future, Jaws, The Goonies and others.

12:37 | Main Topic: The Funko Pops We Need

Chad's pick this week is all about "Funko Pops", including a brief history and intro of the relatively new toy company, followed by each person bringing a few Pops for a short "Show and Tell" segment, and then we get into a roundtable discussion about the Funko Pops we'd like to see created in the future. We hit all areas of Pop Culture, Movies & TV, Music, Cartoons, Video Games, and MORE! Funko, are you listening???? Hear our ideas!!!!
