Travel through the 80s with the 80s Kids

Anything that happened during the week is open for discussion. We even invite guests to sit in and talk about their influence on the 80’s and how it influenced them! So slide on you hi-tops, put on your acid wash jeans and Hypercolor t-shirt; hop in your DeLorean time machine and join us for a true blast about the past!

  Episode 59: September 23 - 29, 1985

  The 80's Kids are back with an all-new episode! What happens when you take the biggest director in Hollywood and give him a TV show? You get the excellently awesome Amazing Stories! We discuss the debut of Steven Spielberg's highly anticipated television debut as he changed the way television was made. We discuss favorite episodes and that anticipation to watch the new episodes each week. We also discuss all the fun that made this week an 80's week by talking movies, TV, sports, news, music and more! We answer those burning questions that have haunted you for decades like; what is the meaning behind the song, 'Shock the Monkey?', and was Marvin Gaye shot by his dad or did he have hot water dumped on his head? You mean you've never asked these questions? Huh? Maybe it was just us. Well, I'm sure as you listen to this, you will be asking the question, 'Is this show still on?' Or, 'Does anyone listen to this junk?' Well, the jokes on you, because you are! And we thank you for that!

  A new episode? Wait? Are we still doing this thing? Of course we are, and we are back with an all-new episode of 80's nostalgia you could fill a bucket, or commode or something like that. Either way, you can't get this kind of jam-packed wacky nonsense outside of a clown car. Oh wait, the topic is the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl? Why didn't someone tell me first! I would have left out that clown car crack. Oh well, anyway this episode looks back at the devastating meltdown that forever changed a country and solidified the world's fear of nuclear power. Jeez, way to bring all this down. At least you can count on Rich, Don, and Kyle to deliver all the news, music, movies, TV, toys, comics, sports, and more to radiate with their listeners! Really!? Radiate? What's wrong with these guys? I bet they chewed on cooling rods as kids.

  We're Back! After a short, but kind-of long, brief hiatus, the boys are back and we are capping off our 'Favorite Teen Movie of the 80's' series. We come full circle with Rich's pick; the comedy classic, 'Porky's!' The seminal teen sex comedy that launched a genre. We revisit the classic comedy to see if it still holds up or does it go too far. If the movie doesn't got too far, we sure will as Rich, Don, and Kyle bring back all your favorites; sports, news, music, cartoons, movies, comics, and even the sketch pad! What? None of those are your favorites? Then what are you listening for? Wait, ignore that, listen. Please listen. In fact, I am hypnotizing you right now to listen...listen now...listen many, many times...listen often. Well, now that we're done with that, I need to go listen to something…many, many times…

  Well, it's been a while, but the kids are back with an all-new episode to scratch your 80's itch! This week we return to our 'Favorite Teen Movie' series with Don's pick. One of the pinnacle teen movies of any decade: The Breakfast Club. We discuss what this movie meant to us, not only then, but also now. We, of course, also bring you the news, sports, TV, comics, cartoons, movies, video games, toys, and so much more that made this week amazing! So get ready to tap you inner Bender, or Brian, or whoever, as we reminisce. And learn just how the network debut of 'The World According to Garp' sends Rich back into childhood trauma. It's all the stuff you love, and all the stuff you hate. So it's all the stuff...I guess. Check it out!

  Episode 55: October 7-13, 1985

  Mar 7, 20252h 15mS5

  "I want my two dollars!" A famous phrase that kicks off our new series within our series, if you can follow that. This one looks back at one of the genres that defined the decade: teen comedies. This week we look at Kyle's favorite pick, the John Cusack/'Savage' Steve Holland classic: Better Off Dead! We reminisce about the story of Lane Meyer, who decides to commit suicide after his popular girlfriend dumps him. The black comedy may not have blown up at the box office, but it did blow up Ricky’s mom’s face and left a mark with its slapstick style and parody to become a cult classic. We also talk about all those great things like news, music, movies, TV, cartoons, comics, toys, games and more, that made this week memorable. So grab some gasoline, light up a cigarette, and get ready to race on one ski with Rich, Don, and Kyle!
