The anniversary of a beloved 1980s film. The debut of a game-changing cable channel. Some fast food favorites we wish were back full-time.
Episode 198 celebrates the unofficial start of summer by bringing the warm and fuzzy nostalgia.
It all starts off with the 40th anniversary of a staple of 1980s kids, The Goonies. A fun story, relatable characters, a unique setting, and infinitely quotable lines, this film was a rite of passage for so many who grew up back then. We will do a deep dive into why it's still so popular.
Children's television changed forever in 1983 with the launch of the Disney Channel. Chock full of the classic cartoons and films kids knew of the channel, also introduced many new shows that became staples of the daily lives of 80s and 90s kids. We'll dust off our Mickey Mouse ears and reminisce about Disney's leap into cable.
Some fast food items come and go with few batting an eye. On this week's Top 5 we're going to go in the opposite direction. We will examine some discontinued fast food items that were popular, some of which occasionally make a return to tease us momentarily.
There is as always a new This Week In History and Time Capsule that seeks to answer the question: What exactly was Betamax?
