Summary

Has there ever been a month quite like June of 1982? Honestly, when we started talking about this podcast, we knew this would be a big episode, but I don't think we had any idea quite what that meant. I mean, we could just take two movies from this month -- Blade Runner and The Thing -- and that would be more than enough to discuss for an entire episode. But the point of this show has always been that there is so much more to the '80s than the canon that we've all accepted, and this month is the case that proves that. I don't even want to spoil it. Suffice it to say, this is a full two hours, and it could easily have gone two hours more. Seriously. This is bananas. You'll see.
