  • Halley's Comet: The "Twice-in-a-Lifetime" Event
    Aug 17 2022
    Are you old enough to remember Halley's Comet? If you are, I'm sure you remember what a big deal its return was in 1986. For kids of the 80s, it was astounding to be able to see something that last appeared in 1910. And if you were of a certain age, there's a chance you'll get to see it again, as Halley's Comet will make its return in 2061. But the story of Halley's Comet is about much more than just a comet. This was a look at ourselves and the astonishing progress we had made by the mid--80s. Compared to 1910, 1986 was like living in a future no one could have predicted. Halley's Comet marked our progress, our technological advancements, but also, our setbacks, as its return would be sandwiched right between two of the worst disasters of the 20th Century.  If you're interested in supporting this show--and getting access to more content--you can check out Patreon.com/80s to find out more.

  • The Toys of the 80s With Dan Larson
    Jul 13 2022
    The 1980s ushered in a new era of cartoons, toys, and action figures the likes we had never seen before. But what made this era so different? And why did we love the toys that we did? What makes for a good toy? Is it functionality? Backstory? Interaction? Marketing? Or the fact our friends had them? This is also a look at the government deregulation, trade embargos, capitalism, and even war that had a major influence on one of the biggest eras of toys ever.  Special Guest: Dan Larson from Toy Galaxy  Support the Show: Patreon.com/80s

  • The 10 Best Breakfast Cereals of the 1980s
    Feb 23 2022
    The 1980s were a golden age of breakfast cereals. The decade ushered in a whole new era of breakfast options that probably couldn't even be considered real food--but we loved it (even if our mothers hated them). I'm going to count down what I believe are the ten best cereals of the decade.  Some of these came out before the 80s but became as much a part of our morning breakfast routine as reading the back of the box. Some came out for a short period in the 80s and were never seen again. Hopefully, some of your favorites made the list! If you want to support the podcast, and get access to the Everything 80s Movie Club where I review the good, the bad, and the ugly of 1980s movies, you can head over to Patreon.com/80s to learn more.  Show Notes: 1980s Breakfast Cereals
