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 McLean 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 the 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. In Washington, D.C., ground was broken and construction began on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

It was a bad month to be famous.

Teresa Saldana was stammered peededly by a stalker.

Teddy Pindergrass was paralyzed in a car accident and the Dubie Brothers broke up, damn it.

I keep, I keep, I get, well I'm in love anymore

I keep, I get things will never be the same again

So I'll keep on being a little bit more

On the other hand, TJ Hooker premiered on Network TV, so that's pretty much as good as TV ever got. And just to show you how different schedules were, the 54th Academy of Words weren't given out until March 29th that year. Man, it was a strange month of movies in March 1982. Hi, everybody.

I mean, I had ramen noodles for dinner tonight. No big, totally cool. Right? Yo, Drew, how many shoes do your kids have? Just one each. One each. I bought a pair and I split them.

And the kids don't even wear the same size ladies and gentlemen. I know. It's just had to buy them the middle. So nobody's happy. So hey, real quick, I wanted to say on the January 1982 episode, I evidently pronounced Des Moines, Iowa, very, very wrong. It is deboined as I know I believe I was reading something and somehow just went on a brain fart and said

Desi mo Iowa very very wrong it is deboined as I know I believe I was reading something and Somehow just went on a brain fart and said desmoins and oh my god. Did you people let me know? I heard that and you know I am not embarrassed to correct you on occasion Drew has a few like vocal ticks for example the word HF, he will pronounce the L in half and say,

half.

When he said, Des Moines, I thought, oh, maybe that's like local to where he grew up. It's wrong, Drew. Yes, I've been informed that it's deeply, deeply wrong. So I'd like to say, officially on the record, I love you Des Moines, Iowa. However, on the other hand, blow me Lewisville. So on that note, let's get started, man.
