The Matchbox and Hotwheels cases continue to reveal, among many treasures, some awesome superhero cars (and cars based on other “good ole” famous franchises) from Corgi Juniors! These finds, of course, lead to a lot of Superhero talk and an “Index Card” game for Tom and Julee to guess each other’s favorite superhero. Julee and Tom inevitably get a bit slap-happy (by the time they VROOOM to end of the car journey) when they unearth a bunch of “dink” plastic and wooden cars that SHOULD be easy “biffs” -- unfortunately the cars start to coalesce into a collection of some significance forcing a battle for the pressure to Keep! Oh yeah: and they find a GoBot!!!
Now in their forties, Julee and Tom Antonellis are reconnecting as brother and sister in THE MOST distant a socially-distant podcast can be in the United States. While recording on each coast (and seeing each other over FaceTime) all the way from Los Angeles (Tom) to Boston (Julee), they start unearthing the core lessons, laughs and connections of their childhood. Plus, Julee has to fight her fear of cobwebs while Tom enjoys the comfort of his office -- yet he CAN'T touch his beloved toys like she can.
As their Instagram bio indicates -- @backthroughthebasementpod -- you can follow them there to see pictures of everything they unearth -- Tom & Julee (actors, comics, voiceover artists & siblings), children of the 80s, must go through all their toys and belongings in their parents’ basement. Oh boy!
