Today we start our decade series, a new series that we are doing that examines an impactful year

across each decade that helped absolutely shape pop culture,

alter it in some ways, dramatically.

Today, on the heels of Top Gun Maverick being released, Stranger Things Season 4, and

the cover to dark night coming up for auction that'll wrap up here in a few weeks.

The connective tissue between all these things is 1986.

The original Top Gun came out in 1986.

Stranger Things 4.

The brand new season takes place in 1986.

And Dark Night, this amazing cover to the original Dark Night that was shipped in March of 1986 is already up to a million dollars.

So we have got so much going on today.

1986, we examine all of it, the music, the television, the film, and the comic books that

change the culture on today's Robeservations.

Hey, everybody, this is another episode of Robeservations. I am your host, Rob Leifeld, welcome.

We have punched all the way into an official third year. We call this the third season,

but we are in our third year over 195, 96 episodes. Thank you for taking this journey with me
