NEW Ace Frehley, Back to the Future, and the Soundtrack of Nostalgia

Take a trip through music history and movie magic in this heartfelt, nostalgic episode. They remember the late Ace Frehley, the electrifying guitarist who helped define KISS’s sound and spirit in the 1970s and 80s. Eric reflects on how Alive turned KISS from cult to cultural phenomenon, while also shedding light on Frehley’s struggles and his enduring connection with fans. The conversation then shifts to Back to the Future — exploring how a single film and a Huey Lewis hit helped shape the sound and feel of the 1980s. Together, they connect the dots between nostalgia, pop culture, and the music that still moves us.
