Everybody Wang Chung Tonight! A Totally Eighties Roundtable You remember the Eighties, don’t you? If not, turn on VH1 right now, there’s a pretty good chance they’re running a special about it at this very moment. And if there’s not one on, maybe you’ll get a glimpse of that crappy biopic they made about Def Leppard starring Anthony Michael Hall. A lot of really wonderful things happened in the Eighties: Reagan got shot, Giorgio Moroder won an Oscar, the Space Shuttle landed on the moon. Good times. There were some bad things too. Remember Miami Vice? What’s wrong with Miami Vice, you may ask, it had a pretty cool theme song after all. Simple: The show’s enormous popularity allowed Philip Michael Thomas to release not one, but two (two!) dreadful pop albums. Not to be outdone, Don Johnson followed suit. So, anyway, here’s our Eighties themed roundtable. Qualifying for inclusion came down to one thing: the films all had to be made somewhere between 1980 and 1989. Clever, huh? Bonus points were given for anything with a New Wave soundtrack, leg warmers, or Molly Ringwald. Here they are, your totally tubular reviewers, The Astro-Critics and Zombie Auxiliary Quilting Bee: Choconado: Trick or Treat: No one rocks harder than Skippy. Potrait in Flesh: Miami Horror: Italian monsters attack Florida! Marxo Grouch: The Tomb: Why isn't John Carradine in this? Oh, wait, he is. Deeky: Max Headroom: 20 Minutes Into the Future: It's not a very nice place; neither is now, come to think of it. Anarquistador: The Wraith: Because the dead drive fast cars. |
