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 209: Is This a Christmas Movie?
Will, Kat and Jon discuss current 1980s news including:
- Cobra Kai has cast an “iconic” Karate Kid character
- The Christmas Story house has a new owner
- Zelda is coming to the big screen
- We’ll be able to bust ghosts in Chicago very soon
Then, Will introduces us to a new record that sounds like it was recorded in the 1980s. Get your copy of Love in Cage's Trans-Reality at Bandcamp.
Finally, the Kat and Jon poke holes in Will's "foolproof" method for determining whether a film is also a Christmas movie.
