This week, Jason and Dee are back with another head-to-head rock 'n' roll showdown! We're diving deep into Tesla's breakthrough 1989 album The Great Radio Controversy — track by track. From the raw power of “Hang Tough” to the heartfelt anthem “Love Song,” we break down the stories, the riffs, and the band dynamics that made this album a staple of late '80s rock.

Along the way, we explore the history of Tesla — the roots of their blue-collar sound, the personalities behind the music, and the moments that turned this record into a platinum hit.

And don’t touch that dial — because at the end, we bring it all home by giving our final verdict: Which album reigns supreme — Tesla’s The Great Radio Controversy or The Black Crowes’ Shake Your Money Maker?

Plug in, turn it up, and join us for a full-throttle rock breakdown, Surely-style! 🤘

This week on the Surely You Can’t Be Serious podcast, Jason and Dee shake things up with a deep dive into the Black Crowes’ explosive debut album, Shake Your Money Maker. Packed with hits like She Talks to Angels, Hard to Handle, and Jealous Again, this album became an instant classic—even as chaos brewed behind the scenes, particularly between the feuding Robinson brothers.

Join us as we dig into the stories behind the songs, the band’s rise to fame, and the lasting impact Shake Your Money Maker had on 1990s rock and beyond. And don’t miss next week’s episode, where we compare this southern rock powerhouse to Tesla’s The Great Radio Controversy!

In this second half of a two-part special, Dee and Jason of Surely You Can't Be Serious dive deep into two iconic '80s comedies: Weird Science and Real Genius. Picking up where they left off, they focus on the cast and standout performances in Real Genius, breaking down the witty, quirky characters that helped make this film a cult classic. Along the way, they share fun behind-the-scenes tidbits from both movies, comparing the charm, the science, and the sheer ridiculousness of each.

Will Val Kilmer’s charismatic Chris Knight edge out the chaos of Weird Science? Or will the teen ingenuity of Gary and Wyatt take the crown? Dee and Jason wrap up their discussion by delivering their final verdict—which movie reigns supreme in the great 1985 comedy showdown. Tune in for the laughs, the nostalgia, and some good ol’ fashioned debate as they decide which film deserves the title of 'best of 1985.'
