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. John Wink John Wayne Gacy was found guilty of 33 charges of murder by a jury in Chicago.

On a Friday night, much of America was shot to their core when J.R. was shot on Dallas.

And in Washington State, people scrambled for cover when Mount St. Helens went active for the first time in 123 years. What would you do, Harry, if Mount St. Helens erupts sometime soon?

Oh, I'd say right here and watch it.

Tell you, what?

No, it's too far away to me. Couldn't hurt me.

Hell, it's a mile due here, and that's all heavily

timbered in here. Amidst this madness, here's what you can see in theaters in March of 1980.

But a little bit of business first. I'm Drew McQueenie. Welcome to 80s all over. As always,

I'm joined by my co-host, Scott Weinberg. Scott, what's up, man?

Why are we always got to start the show with mistakes?

Could we do mistakes at the end? No, no, no, we get it out of the way. And that way, I know you're hoping

people will just turn it off after the movies. But no, no, let's acknowledge our mistakes.

As much as we wanted to just be a conversational laid-back podcast, we also do want

chronological veracity. The first couple of episodes, we've got January and February available already.
