Ten Uniquely 1980s Movie Tropes

Will, Kat and Jon return for their first new show in 2023. First, they challenge themselves to identify the 1980s movie trope Dreamkid has scored. Then, they discuss current 80s news including a sequel to "History of the World," Madonna's upcoming tour, De La Soul's premiere on streaming and the possibility of a Short Round movie. Then, the trio discusses 10 of movie tropes that were popular in the 1980s (and should've remained in that decade).
