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 I'm I'm I'm

I'm Mickfleet would stop believing and filed for bankruptcy and the U.S. government reached an out-of-court settlement in a contentious lawsuit over the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, and they want you to believe those two things are not related.

The USSR officially pulled out of the Summer Olympics set for Los Angeles, and Nelson Mandela, still in prison in South Africa Africa was allowed to see his wife for the first time in 22 years.

In two more events, the government wants you to believe, weren't related. Ronald Reagan announced that the U.S. would not become involved in the Iran-Iraq war in any significant military fashion.

And Prince released when doves cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.

Don't cry.

You do the math while we run down the movies of May 1984.

Hi, everybody.

I'm Drew McGweeney, and welcome to 80s all over.

I'm joined, as always, by my co-host, Scott Weinberg.

Scott, what's up, man? Hello, Drew. Welcome, everyone to 80s All Over. I'm joined as always by my co-host Scott Weinberg. Scott, what's up, man?

Hello, Drew. Welcome everyone to A.T's All Over, which is when we talk about softcore porn repeatedly.

But only eight films. So this is where I feel like the 80s is still kind of May is that sleepy month where about half of it is a big summer month and about half of it is what the hell are these movies?

The idea of May being part of the summer movie season is a relatively new phenomenon.

I think it was probably like Stephen Summer is the mummy probably put the foot on.
