1980s Now is a weekly examination of the importance of 80s pop culture and its continued influence today. We demonstrate that nostalgia alone doesn’t account for the contemporary fascination with our favorite decade. Instead, we share personal experiences and interview experts--including icons from 80s music, movies and TV--to demonstrate the “era of greed” bore the greatest moments in movies, music, television and sports. The show is equally entertaining and informative. (80s is aka '80s.)

episode 207: The Filthy Fifteen (Songs)
Will, Kat and Jon discuss current 1980s news including how Stewart Copeland wanted to "choke the life out of" Sting, a new Harrison Ford documentary, and the new trailers for "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" and "The Fall Guy."
Then, the trio discusses the so-called Filthy Fifteen, the more than a dozen songs targeted by the newly-formed Parents Music Resource Center in 1985 as emblematic of the music that was corrupting the children.
