1980s Now

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.)

Flashback: 1980s Atari Christmas w/ Howard Scott Warshaw


Flashback to Christmas last year when Will and Ray spoke with legendary video game designer Howard Scott Warshaw. Warsaw created "Indiana Jones," "Yars Revenge" and the infamous "E.T." for the Atari 2600. He tells us about his time at Atari and meeting Steven Spielberg. We question him about the well-known difficulties playing as the extra-terrestrial. Were those by design or flaws that escaped beta-testing?
