“These relatable goobers breaking down the movies and tv that me and my dumb eight year old friends cherished in 1993 - and which I’ve totally forgotten about for decades. It’s fascinating to see what aged gracefully and what was really just playing off lazy stereotypes that we were too small to...”Read full review »

“These people are talking about movies from the 80’s and they don’t even enjoy them. They don’t know how to enjoy anything or just watch something for fun. Boring, moaning about everything, no research into anything. If you want to hear people whine about everything like 5 year olds, this podcast...”Read full review »

“The three ‘smartest’ millennials criticize the previous decades. They got it all figured out from reading books and no life experience. I don’t care about your leftist politics. Listen to Everything 80’s podcast. It’s much better and no politics.
I can tolerate the female host. She gets talked...”Read full review »

If you like a bunch of humorless latte liberal white people complaining about EVERYTHING this is the podcast for you. There are plenty of better nostalgic...”Read full review »

“This show feels like three people are rummaging through the basement of my formative years and speaking to memories or things that I didn’t know at the time. I was born in 1982, so I relate to virtually everything they talk about, even if I wasn’t into it at the time. Love it!”
