092: DAN KLITSNER (Bop It Inventor) Interview - 25th Anniversary of the Bop It!

On Episode 092 of the RETROZEST podcast, Curtis celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the Bop-It toy/game with a wonderful interview with its creator, Dan Klitsner! Dan is also the founder and creative director of toy inventing and licensing firm, KID Group LLC. Dan discusses not only the 25th Anniversary of the Bop It, but also his part in the production of newer versions of classic games like Tetris, Simon, Slinky and Rubik's Cube. Some talk about the movie Big, as well as the Back to the Future and Star Wars franchises, is weaved into the discussion also.   Check out Dan's fun website Bop It For Good, as well as his frequently updated social media accounts on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok! Additionally, our announcer Mr. Retrovere helms our RETRO NEWS segment which covers the landmark anniversaries of several Movies, TV Shows and Classic Rock/Pop Albums; as well as the recent passing away of actors Emilio Delgado (Luis on Sesame Street) and William Hurt.
