Star Trek (1966) Episode 1: The Man Trap Review
It's one of the biggest television shows in history! Today at When It Was Cool, Karl reviews Episode 1 Season 1 of Star Trek from 1966. Now Karl is admittedly a bigger Star Wars fan than Star Trek fan but he tells us that he really enjoyed episode 1 of Star Trek. This episode in interesting, in that, it is actually closer to a horror or Twilight Zone episode than a sci-fi movie. We meet Captain Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Sulu, and others for the first time and learn a little bit about them. Join When It Was Cool for some fun Star Trek talk on this Wednesday retro TV review!

Dark Shadows (1966) Retro TV Review
This is a review of the run of Dark Shadows television shows which featured the character Barnabas Collins who maybe, possibly, perhaps was a vampire. This is a really unique TV show/soap opera unlike anything else I've ever seen on television. With all the melodrama of a soap opera but with vampires, ghosts, and a mystery! Join host Karl Stern as he discusses Dark Shadows.

Lost in Space (1965) Retro TV Review
Karl Stern takes a look back at the classic sci-fi series Lost in Space! After watching the first episode of this series I finally understand it a lot better than just seeing the random sporadic episode as a kid. This is a great and exciting sci-fi series with an iconic robot, a evil heel saboteur, and an interesting space adventure! Danger Will Robinson, let's take a look back at Lost in Space!

Psycho (1960) Movie Review Podcast
Psycho changed everything in 1960. Alfred Hitchcock's horror masterpiece reinvented fear cinema. Our Patreon supporters at When It Was Cool have had access to this show for a long time but with the recent plot of Monster: The Ed Gein Story heavily featuring Psycho (based on Ed Gein) this is a great time to remember the horror movie classic.
