The Gen X Journey Podcast

Television of 1985 produced shows that we still fondly talk about to this very day. From pretending our bicycles were K.I.T.T., shouting 'By the Power of Greyskull!', hearing the shout of 'NORM!', and leading the charge with Optimus Prime, it was a year that captivated us as kids. What was your favorite show of 1985?

Sit back, grab your favorite beverage, and enjoy as Noel does a great deep dive into the life of Eddie Murphy.
