S2 E14: Mr. Mom Goes Back to the Future 54:42

Play Pause

6h ago54:42

54:42

This week, Bill & Damian dive headfirst into the chaotic brilliance of Michael Keaton, the only man who could go from Mr. Mom to Beetlejuice to Batman without breaking a sweat or a single Kirby vacuum. 🦇🧹 Then GREAT SCOTT! It’s the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future. The guys unpack everything from time circuits to why Marty’s best friend is an…

S2 E13: They’re Heeere… and They Brought Slimer: 80s Paranormal Power Hour 1:10:13

6d ago1:10:13

1:10:13

👻 Grab your proton pack and maybe a crucifix, it’s the 80s Show Podcast Halloween Spectacular! Damian and Bill fire up the VCR 📼 for a supernatural showdown between Poltergeist, Ghostbusters, & Beetlejuice: three movies 🍿 that made the 80s both spooky and strangely fashionable. From cursed TV static and ancient burial grounds to Tim Burton’s gothic…

S2 E12: Two Coreys, One Hit, and a Mustache Ride 1:02:14

2M ago1:02:14

1:02:14

🎙 First up, we revisit The Two Coreys 👬. Haim and Feldman, the VHS-era 📼 duo who ruled the 80s with big hair, bigger egos, and movies that ranged from The Lost Boys to “wait, they made how many straight-to-video sequels?” Then it’s on to One Hit Wonders 🎶, those unforgettable tracks that defined your prom playlist 🕺, then disappeared faster than yo…

S2 E11: Naked Guns, Lost Ponyboys & Avocado Toast Trivia 54:27

3M ago54:27

54:27

We’re back with another retro rampage through the 80s, starting with a high-speed pratfall into The Naked Gun universe. The 2025 reboot is coming in hot, but can it match the absurd brilliance of Leslie Nielsen’s 1988 deadpan perfection? Next, we ask the question no one else is brave enough to: What ever happened to C. Thomas Howell? Saddle up, Swa…

S2E10: Neon Malls, Problematic Calls & 8-Bit Brawls 1:07:44

3M ago1:07:44

1:07:44

We hit the mall, dig into 80s relics that aged terribly (Soul Man & Garbage Pail Kids), then button-mash our way back to the Atari 2600. First stop: the mall. Back when “hanging out” meant wandering between Chess King, Sam Goody, and Spencer’s Gifts until your mom picked you up three hours late. Then in Trigger Warning (Not) Required, we dust off t…

S2 E9: Uncle Buck, Olympic Dreams & 80s Trivia Night 1:01:10

3M ago1:01:10

1:01:10

This week, we salute the patron saint of ‘80s comedy, John Candy, because if you didn’t laugh at Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, or Spaceballs, you might be dead inside. Then Bill dusts off his Olympic credentials to relive the 1984 Summer Games, when L.A. was hotter than a Members Only jacket in August and the Soviet Union was convenie…

S2 E8: Kick Off Your Sunday Shoes & Grab a Joystick 1:15:05

4M ago1:15:05

1:15:05

This week, we dance dangerously close to confusion as Bill experiences Footloose and Flashdance for the very first time. One is about small-town oppression fueled by rage, rhythm, and questionable choreography; the other is… honestly, we’re still not sure. Welding? Water buckets? Polack jokes? Plot not included. Then we gobble some nostalgia with a…

S2 E7: Raiders of the Lost Fashion Sense 51:19

4M ago51:19

51:19

This week, we hit peak 80s: Spielberg masterpieces, fashion statements that doubled as safety hazards, and cartoons that raised a generation on slapstick and explosions. First up, we swing into action with Spielberg’s finest from the decade, where aliens phoned home and archaeologists somehow outran boulders in leather jackets. History class was ne…

S2 E6: The Breakfast Club, ’87 Bangers & Brain Fog 47:57

5M ago47:57

47:57

This week, we open the detention file on The Breakfast Club to find out what happened after the iconic fist pump. Then we hit rewind on 1987’s biggest songs, back when mixtapes were love letters and choruses lived rent-free in our brains forever. Finally, we wrap things up with our “1980 Something” trivia segment, where pop culture meets memory gap…

S2 E5: Top Gun or Top Doug? 54:33

5M ago54:33

54:33

This week, we buzz the tower of 80s nostalgia with a dogfight between Top Gun and its off-brand cousin, Iron Eagle. As kids, we thought Iron Eagle was badass. As adults… well, let’s just say it’s less “fighter pilot” and more “after-school special with a soundtrack.” Then we jump to Top Gun: Maverick, a sequel that somehow didn’t suck. In fact, we …

S2 E4: Cocaine Drives the 80s 58:36

5M ago58:36

58:36

This episode is pure 80s - fast cars, pastel suits, and enough powder to shut down Studio 54. We kick things off with John DeLorean’s desperate attempt to fund his stainless steel dream car by allegedly jumping into the cocaine trade. Was it savvy, stupid, or a midlife crisis on gullwing doors? Then we dive into the coke-dusted chaos of 80s action …

S2 E3: Bill & Ted Face Old Age 48:55

5M ago48:55

48:55

This week, we hop into a phone booth and dial straight into the heart of 80s absurdity with a deep dive into the Bill & Ted trilogy. From the surprisingly charming Excellent Adventure to the full-blown fever dream that is Bogus Journey, and finally to the recent reunion in Face the Music - we unpack the time-traveling, air-guitaring legacy of two d…

S2 E2: Sweep the Leg, Phone Home, and Call Your TV Dad 42:16

6M ago42:16

42:16

This week, we’re crane-kicking our way through 80s pop culture like it’s a Cobra Kai training montage. First up: The Karate Kid. We settle (or escalate) the age-old debate - was Daniel the real hero… or just an aggressive new kid with a bonsai complex? You be the judge. Next, we count down our Top 5 Sitcom Dads of the 1980s - from sweater-wearing w…

S2 E1: Lifestyles of the Young & Jumpy 32:55

6M ago32:55

32:55

The 80s Show Podcast kicks off Season 2 with undercover teens, outrageous wealth, and a surprise call from an old friend. We dig into 21 Jump Street (TV vs. movie - fight!), take a bubbly stroll through the excess of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, and then things get... awkward. Tony Villicana, one of Mr. H’s students from The Greatest American…

S1 E11: Billy Katts aka Mr. H 33:08

6M ago33:08

33:08

We’re back with another freshly unearthed lost episode from the 80s Show vault! First up: we take flight (barely) with a deep dive into The Greatest American Hero - the only superhero who needed instructions and still managed to lose them. Capes, perms, and slow-motion crashes abound. Then we ask the burning question absolutely no one else is askin…

S1 E10: My Little Werewolf 20:52

6M ago20:52

20:52

In this lost episode from Season 1, we sink our claws into the 1985 cult classic Teen Wolf - including the infamous urban legend that someone in the bleachers flashes the camera during the big game. Is it real? Is it just fuzzy VHS myth? We investigate… poorly. Then, it’s time to test Bill’s memory (or what’s left of it) with a round of totally rad…

7y ago39:57

39:57

What was the best movie of ‘89? It certainly wasn’t Turner & Hooch or K-9, but Bill and Damian review them anyway. Bill tearfully lists the top songs on his 80s breakup mixtape. They also pitch their sequel ideas for The Goonies II. Show Notes Turner & Hooch on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/watch/60021853 K-9 on HBO https://play.hbogo.com/feature…
