Episode 10 | The Funko Pops We Need

Episode 10 of the Retro Resurgence features two special guests, friends of the Retro Community Karen Flieger (@retrodolls77) and Chris Bailey (@beatles_toybox). The gang discuss all the major movies celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2025, including Back to the Future, Jaws, The Goonies and others.

Chad’s pick this week is all about “Funko Pops”, including a brief history and intro of the relatively new toy company, followed by each person bringing a few Pops for a short “Show and Tell” segment, and then we get into a roundtable discussion about the Funko Pops we’d like to see created in the future. We hit all areas of Pop Culture, Movies & TV, Music, Cartoons, Video Games, and MORE! Funko, are you listening???? Hear our ideas!!!!

Also in the episode, we feature our recurring segments:

Ken’s Toy Retrospective (Kenner The Empire Strikes Back from 1980 – 1982)
Chad’s Pop Culture Moment (“We Are the World” 40th Anniversary)
In Memoriam (Mr. Baseball – Bob Uecker)
