It's time to root for the bad guys—just this once.
This week's Throwback Thursday is part of a special crossover event put together by The 80s League, a collaborative effort started by Dave from 80s Reboot Overdrive. The League brought together several blogs and podcasts (including Return to the '80s) to celebrate all things retro—and this month's theme is '80s Movie Villains!
In this episode:
-
Paul reviews the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot (Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and crew).
-
Robert and Paul discuss Robert's then-controversial article, In Defense of Journey Without Steve Perry, released after Journey was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Neal Schon was being bombarded with questions about Perry's return.
-
A brand new Play This, Not That segment featuring Survivor—because they're more than just "Eye of the Tiger"!
-
And finally, a deep dive into our favorite 80s villains—from Biff Tannen and Hans Gruber to The Kurgan and The Fratellis.
💥 You'll laugh, you'll hiss, and you'll be reminded just how important a great villain is to an unforgettable story.
