There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

Schultz: Depicts friendly interracial relationships and integrated schools. Gets so much pushback from publishers he has to threaten to pull his participation completely to get the comic printed as written. Reader and historic praise ensues. Ketcham: draws a racist caricature and makes a horrifically tasteless pun, gets printed without complaint from publishers, gets angry about reader backlash. "The Media" is on *whose* side, again?

21:40 I couldn't help but notice something weird about that metaphor. Usually people compare a child to a seed or sapling, but he chose an inanimate instrument instead. And I have a hunch why: When you neglect a plant as much as he neglected his child, it dies. When you neglect a seed that much, it never even begins to live. Comparing his child to a piano implies "my child was totally complete regardless of my input so the fact that I never did anything for him was okay, but the lack of a reward was disappointing" instead of "my child's growth is testament to his resilience because I did the legally-mandated bare fucking minimum to help him live".

Also, I was very convinced that the Goth (particularly the Edgy) subculture was exactly where I was going to flourish, so it was FLEMcomics (NSFW), Writhe & Shine (mostly safe, IIRC), and Ghastly's Ghastly comic (absolutely NSFW, the last one is almost exclusively about hentai).

It's funny hearing you talking about Atari and Sears: I'm looking at a Sears Video Arcade on my floor, which is just a rebranded Atari 2600. In order to get Atari consoles and games on Sears shelves, they had to agree to sell them under the Sears Tele-Games name. That's how much pull Sears had in the retail market back in the early 80s. It wasn't just Atari, too. The Mattel Intellivision was rebranded as the Sears Super Video Arcade, and before either of those, the various Pong games (Pong, Super Pong, Pong Doubles, etc) were OEMed as Sears Tele-Games products. Sears used to rebadge a lot of electronics manufacturers' products too, including some really nice Hi-Fis, turntables, guitars, organs, and amps under the Silvertone name. And of course, the entire Kenmore line was made up entirely of OEMed appliances from a ton of different manufacturers.

23:35 Dennis the Menace was nowhere near the first comic strip to get a live action movie or TV adaptation. There was a long tradition of adapting comics in live action going all the way back to the silent film days with Little Nemo, Bringing Up Father, and Ella Cinders. The movie based on Percy Crosby's Skippy even won an Oscar in 1931. There was a long series of Blondie Movies in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, and a Blondie TV show in the 50s as well (all starring the voice of Jane Jetson herself, Penny Singleton, as Blondie). There were so many more before 1959 beyond that, but you get the idea.

@Attmay Ай бұрын

None of those made a dent in syndication. The *Blondie* sitcom was only on for 2 years IIRC. Barely enough for reruns. They got four seasons out of this and might’ve gotten more if Joseph Kearns hadn’t died. Gale Gordon replaced him as a brother of Mr. Wilson who appears in no other adaptation of the strip, and that’s why he didn’t join *The Lucy Show* as Mr. Mooney until season two.

Not defending these clearly damaged people's parenting but constant parental supervision is kind of a new thing (last 30-40 yrs) Emotionally distant fathers & over burdened mothers was kind of the norm. So was alcoholism. My dad (who was a child during the depression with dirt farmer parents in OK) told me that when he was a toddler they used to hang him in the barn by the straps of his overalls on a wall to keep him out of the way while everyone worked the farm. 😮 When I expressed shock & concern he simply said: people's priorities were about keeping their kids alive-food, shelter, clothing. They weren't concerned with emotional or psychologicl welfare of children because they couldn't be. This story explained so much to me about my father & his relationship with us. People just weren't as aware of emotional neglect & corporal punishment was perfectly acceptable. By today's standards it is abuse. There is an entire generation of people who are child abuse survivors & it definitely influenced society. I feel so bad for this family. 😢
