A freaky Friday or a back to the future, in honor of freaky or Friday out this weekend,

0:07.1

if you were to time travel or body swap, what period of American history would you most like to be a teenager in?

0:15.2

I am Matt Patches, and my original inclination was to say like the Little House in the prairie era where you just live in a small frontier town and go to school with like 10 people.

0:27.8

That seems really fun.

0:29.4

But to be honest, my pick is probably like be a teen in the 80s and get to see lots of movies when they first came out.

0:37.1

1:28.3

1:32.2

All of our precious bodily fluids.

1:34.4

It's a hot podcast.

1:36.3

Hello and welcome to Fighting in the War Room number 421.

1:43.4

For the week of Wednesday, August 6th.

1:47.0

That on that day in 1926, the movie Don Juan, starring John Barrymore, was released by Warner Bros.

1:53.6

It was the first feature-length film to utilize the Vitaphone sound on disc system with the

1:59.6

synchronized musical score and sound effects.

2:01.9
