Hey there, do you remember the 80s? We don't. We weren't even alive then. But somebody does, and they want to make sure you remember it to, remember it the way they did, as babies. In this episode we pick apart the falsely imagined perpetual childhood of the GenX Movie Guy, trace the counters of the crassly commercial 'Legacy Sequel', ponder the pitfalls of nostalgia, ponder Jason Reitman's daddy issues, and ask the big question: How does an affable 80s screwball comedy become a sepia-toned coming of age dramedy? Well, y'know, it's a love-letter! Though to whom and regarding what, we cannot say.
