There are few decades in film history that have been as scrutinized as the 1980s. But to really understand the decade and its movies, it's going to take a couple some ones

who were there for it the first time around.

Drew McQueenie and Scott Weinberg are ready to review every major film of the decade

one month at a time.

The look at what worked then, what endures now, and how it felt to be there when it all went

down.

Turn back the calendar with us.

It's the 80s all over. I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. Dentist Marnie Clark was the first recipient of an artificial heart,

while the album Thriller was released on the first day of the month kicking off what would eventually become the biggest

commercial juggernaut of all time musically.

Coach Paul Bear Bryant ended his career as the coach of one of the

winning his teams of all time at 323 wins.

And Time magazine named a computer as man of the of the winningest teams of all time at 323 wins and Time

Magazine named a computer as man of the year. And that is not all that was going on in the

jam-packed month of December of 1982. Hi everybody. I'm Drew McQueenie and welcome to 80s all over.

I'm joined as always by my co-host Scott Weinberg. What's up, Scott?

To the REW, I got something to say about you. It's December, 1982.

Thank you very much. It's interesting. When we started 1982, I was thinking of all the summer stuff.

This is a pretty big month just in terms of density. There's a lot of fairly famous titles that came out this month.

There's also a lot of stuff that no one remembers even happened.

There's also a lot of stuff that I remember liking as a kid and not liking so much as an

adult and vice versa.
