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 121: Elvira in the 1980s w/ Cassandra Peterson
Will, Ray and Kat discuss current 1980s news including how Ralph Macchio feels about "Karate Kid III" and whether Exodus is "s****y" Metallica (or the other way around). Then, the trio discuss their first recollections of Elvira and two of the wild films she hosted on "Movie Macabre" in the 1980s. Finally, Will speaks with Elvira herself, or rather the woman under the heavenly bump (wig), Cassandra Peterson.
