There are a 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 of someone's 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 endoers now, and how it felt to be there when it all went down. Turn back to calendar with us. It's the 80s all over. I'm gonna have to go back to the hotel.

I'm gonna have to go back to the hotel.

I'm gonna have to go back to the hotel. It's the 80s all over. Let's kick it off nerd style for 1983. January 1st, the start of the year decision is made that affects us on a daily basis now and as part of the reason we're able to listen to this podcast, as TCP IP protocols are declared the only approved protocol on the ARPANET. Also the 18 premiered on NBC. Gary Trudeau announced he'd be taking an extended break from a celebrated comic strip Doonsbury, and finally Nazi war criminal, Klaus Barbie was discovered and arrested in Bolivia, and sadly, Magneto was not there to fuck him up. What a way to kick off another year, as we begin here today with January of 1983, and I am joined as always by my co-host, Scott Weinberg. What's up, buddy? Thanks, Walter Cronkite for that insightful news recap. My name is Scott Weinberg. I am the cohost and co-creator of 80s all over. Before we begin, the worst movie here of my entire life, I would like to and drew, would like to send a thanks to a gentleman on the Twitter known as Sam looks great, all one word.

And you can thank him for compiling a great little highlight video on YouTube.

If you want to pause the pause,

oh, here we go.

If you want to pause the podcast before we kick in,

go to YouTube, do 80s all over,

just search for 80s all over.

I'm pretty sure it's literally the only video for us.

And it's just a highlight collection of stuff

from 80, 81, and 82.

I had to laugh really hard.

I was out with my girlfriend and we were running errands and I was sitting in the car, she came out and I had my phone on and I played the video and midway through, I stopped because I was laughing so hard and I said, I am so, I hope, are young so many fucking apologies. No doubt. Until we until I actually heard all of the dunks in a row I had not felt bad Bert Young is in this movie and I joke that he's basically a human skid mark In real life, I'm sure Bert Young was very clean and sweet Bert Young looks like a boiled sloth in this film. He looked like someone dropped a meatball in an action. Oh yeah, yeah. We know no disrespect.

Like the guy looked like a sweaty trash collector and there's nothing by all the way out. He looked like Jean Shalitz Balls. Bert Young always looks like he smells like ham. Wet ham. Bert Young looks like he's going for the world record, sweating record. Bert Young looks like he hasn't slept since 1953. Young looks like a fairy turned a mushroom into a man.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Now! and slept since 1953. Bert Young looks like a fairy turned a mushroom into a man. Now, now maybe I feel bad. I did correct it on a subsequent episode. I'd like to also note again that Bert Young is still with us. I said was and it made it sound like he was the late Bert Young, but thankfully he is still with us. So I apologize for that. Oh boy.

Yeah, that's going to be a great bonus episode. We finally get him on and apologize for an hour. You know what? Here's the thing. I'm pretty sure Bert Young has a mirror, dude. Well, listen, this brings us to a larger thing. I don't know if you guys heard the latest Patreon episode, a fan appreciation episode, or I'm really that we put up, but I'm really happy with the way it came out. And part of the reason we wanted to do that is because you guys really are the beating heart of what makes 80s all over work. Your Patreon support and then your online support have been immeasurably valuable to us. Please every time you rate a review the show on iTunes, it helps. every time you tell somebody about it, it helps. A video like that to the guy cut, that's enormously helpful because somebody else

can point at it and... Every time you rate a review the show on iTunes, it helps, every time you tell somebody about it, it helps a video like that that the guy cut,

that's enormously helpful because somebody else can point at it and say, this is what I listen to. And it really means a lot to us that you guys take the time and that you guys give us the feedback you do. As you know, we're both big fans of how did this get made. And I used to love it when I would come across, somebody would send me a link on Twitter, I'd be like,
