This week join Jonathan, Andrew, and Special guest Frank Bridges as we rev up for Halloween with a special episode on the 1978 TV film KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. Jonathan gives some context for how and when KISS got to be so big as to warrant such a production. Frank gives us some first-hand fan experience about what it was like to be bombarded by the entertainment experience that was KISS. And Andrew provides the outsider’s view as he tries to make heads or tails of both the band and this train-wreck of a film.
