The 80s, Part 1: More Than 16 Candles

Join us as we dive into a nostalgic journey through the vibrant 1980s, reminiscing about the excitement of watching MTV during sleepovers at friends' houses where you could finally indulge in endless music videos and the latest hits!

We also delve deep into the legendary Brat Pack, debating the charms of Andrew McCarthy versus Rob Lowe, and exploring the quintessential 80s movies that defined a generation. From "St. Elmo's Fire" to "Pretty in Pink," we discuss the characters we identified with and the cultural impact of these films.

Relive the unforgettable moments from Live Aid, the rise of Queen, and the magic of 80s fashion—from feathered hair to Ray-Bans. We also touch on the influence of John Hughes' films and the timeless allure of 80s music, from Duran Duran to Madonna.

Whether you were a fan of hair metal bands or swooned over Rick Springfield, this episode is a celebration of all things 80s. So grab your Aquanet, put on your favorite mixtape, and join us for a trip down memory lane!
